00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.680
 Good morning friends, it's great to be here at church with you this morning.

00:00:04.139 --> 00:00:09.540
 We as a church have a vision to grow, St Paul's has a vision to grow.

00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:16.359
 It's a vision which was put before you a bit over two years ago, or actually about two years ago.

00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:20.660
 It's not the only time you've had one of these visions, you've had them in the past.

00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:25.740
 The vision fundamentally is not for people to come from other churches to this church,

00:00:25.740 --> 00:00:28.219
 but it's a vision for people to come to Christ.

00:00:28.219 --> 00:00:35.320
 And as you look at that vision for 10 congregations of 100 core members in about 10 years,

00:00:36.019 --> 00:00:40.140
 when you look at that, do you think it's possible?

00:00:41.700 --> 00:00:42.759
 Do you think it's possible?

00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:48.679
 Some of you will be sceptical because of the world in which we live.

00:00:48.859 --> 00:00:50.840
 It's going further and further away from Christianity.

00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:59.060
 Some of you are weary of bearing witness to Jesus and having so many rejections,

00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:00.620
 and you wonder whether it's possible.

00:01:01.140 --> 00:01:04.280
 Some of you are pumped up and think it's absolutely possible,

00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:08.159
 because what we'll do is we just bludgeon people until they become,

00:01:08.219 --> 00:01:10.480
 we just annoy them until they turn to Christ.

00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:19.219
 And so for those of you who are not discouraged,

00:01:20.180 --> 00:01:22.180
 I think maybe you should be.

00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:25.079
 And those of you who are,

00:01:25.500 --> 00:01:29.719
 these are words of encouragement and comfort here from the Lord Jesus.

00:01:30.520 --> 00:01:34.060
 And so grab your Bibles and turn to John 16.

00:01:35.219 --> 00:01:37.460
 You need your Bibles open in front of you.

00:01:37.939 --> 00:01:39.300
 I'd like you to follow along with me.

00:01:39.299 --> 00:01:42.899
 John 16, I'm going to focus primarily on verses 5 to 15.

00:01:44.340 --> 00:01:46.099
 And it was great to have the rest of it read,

00:01:46.399 --> 00:01:49.219
 but we're going to focus on 5 to 15.

00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.280
 So we're still with Jesus and the 11 disciples

00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:55.459
 in the last few hours of Jesus' life

00:01:55.459 --> 00:01:57.979
 in what is known as the farewell discourse.

00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:03.819
 For the disciples, it seems that it has been mostly bad news up until this point.

00:02:03.819 --> 00:02:10.620
 Verse 5 indicates that all this talk of Jesus' impending departure of the Father

00:02:10.620 --> 00:02:16.419
 via the cross has reduced the disciples to virtual silence.

00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:19.400
 Or as verse 6 says,

00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:21.200
 They are filled with grief.

00:02:21.200 --> 00:02:27.580
 The disciples are so self-absorbed that they are not really asking sympathetic questions

00:02:27.580 --> 00:02:31.480
 about what Jesus is doing, where he's going, and why.

00:02:32.020 --> 00:02:34.599
 They are so concerned about their problems,

00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:37.800
 their own feeling of abandonment,

00:02:38.040 --> 00:02:40.560
 their sense of impending crisis and doom,

00:02:40.980 --> 00:02:42.400
 that they do not really listen.

00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.439
 They grieve for themselves.

00:02:45.620 --> 00:02:48.020
 And yet in verse 7, Jesus says,

00:02:48.480 --> 00:02:49.960
 But I tell you the truth,

00:02:50.580 --> 00:02:53.659
 it is for your good that I'm going away.

00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:57.740
 Unless I go away, the counsellor will not come to you,

00:02:58.099 --> 00:03:01.040
 but if I go, I will send him to you.

00:03:02.420 --> 00:03:05.439
 Jesus is saying to these grieving disciples,

00:03:06.420 --> 00:03:07.900
 feeling the sense of abandonment,

00:03:07.900 --> 00:03:12.580
 it's going to be better for you once I return to the Father,

00:03:12.700 --> 00:03:15.219
 because once I've gone, the Holy Spirit will come.

00:03:16.620 --> 00:03:17.640
 How is that possible?

00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:20.360
 How is it going to be better for them?

00:03:21.060 --> 00:03:24.340
 I mean, is this just another one of those good news, bad news jokes,

00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:27.560
 where the good news isn't really the good news after all?

00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.540
 Like the one I heard of the doctor who visited a patient after surgery

00:03:31.540 --> 00:03:32.219
 and said to him,

00:03:32.300 --> 00:03:34.240
 I've got some good news and some bad news.

00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:38.939
 The bad news is we amputated the wrong leg.

00:03:39.320 --> 00:03:41.640
 The good news is the bad leg is improving.

00:03:43.060 --> 00:03:46.379
 Now, the good news actually isn't good news.

00:03:46.600 --> 00:03:49.740
 It's just simply designed to stake the sting out of the bad news.

00:03:49.900 --> 00:03:53.260
 And is that what Jesus is doing here in verse 7?

00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:56.400
 Jesus says,

00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:58.560
 I think at least a couple of things in this section

00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:00.740
 that makes the coming of the Holy Spirit good news.

00:04:01.980 --> 00:04:03.219
 This is really good news.

00:04:03.219 --> 00:04:05.879
 This is especially important for grieving disciples

00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:09.319
 who have heard a lot of bad news up until this point.

00:04:09.819 --> 00:04:12.120
 Not only is Jesus departing,

00:04:12.699 --> 00:04:16.660
 but they've just heard, as we looked at last week when Sam was preaching,

00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:22.540
 that when Jesus departs, the world is going to hate them for his sake.

00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:25.160
 I mean, does it get any worse than this?

00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:29.579
 And so here's the good news in the coming of the Holy Spirit in this section.

00:04:29.579 --> 00:04:32.699
 Number one, the Holy Spirit will convict the world.

00:04:33.039 --> 00:04:36.439
 And number two, the Holy Spirit will minister to the disciples.

00:04:38.039 --> 00:04:41.479
 We saw last week that with the departure of Jesus,

00:04:41.779 --> 00:04:44.919
 it will be the disciples who will bear witness to him.

00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:49.019
 But it will be tough because the world is opposed to Jesus.

00:04:49.180 --> 00:04:51.779
 The word is, they will hate you for me.

00:04:51.779 --> 00:04:56.979
 Jesus is, in effect, passing on the baton of the task

00:04:56.979 --> 00:04:59.879
 of telling the world about him to his disciples.

00:05:00.500 --> 00:05:04.000
 But the good news here is they're not going to do it alone.

00:05:05.500 --> 00:05:07.079
 They're not alone in this task.

00:05:07.159 --> 00:05:10.159
 In fact, I think it would actually be more accurate

00:05:10.159 --> 00:05:13.879
 to say that Jesus is passing on the baton,

00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:19.500
 the task of telling the world about Jesus to the Holy Spirit.

00:05:19.500 --> 00:05:24.699
 So in chapter 15, verse 26, just flick back a little bit,

00:05:25.060 --> 00:05:25.579
 Jesus says,

00:05:25.660 --> 00:05:29.000
 When the counsellor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father,

00:05:29.139 --> 00:05:31.600
 the Spirit of truth, who goes out from the Father,

00:05:32.139 --> 00:05:34.819
 he will testify about me.

00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:39.899
 So the one who is going to testify is no longer Jesus,

00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:41.540
 but it is the Spirit.

00:05:41.540 --> 00:05:45.319
 And then if you look into chapter 16, verse 7,

00:05:46.100 --> 00:05:48.800
 But I tell you the truth, it is for your good that I'm going away.

00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:52.079
 Unless I go away, the counsellor will not come to you,

00:05:52.220 --> 00:05:54.579
 but if I go, I will send him to you.

00:05:54.819 --> 00:05:59.500
 And when he comes, he will convict the world of guilt

00:05:59.500 --> 00:06:03.120
 in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment.

00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:07.000
 That little word convict in verse 8,

00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:10.460
 I think is the key to understanding verses 8 to 11.

00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:14.840
 Convict means to bring to light, or it means to expose.

00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:20.060
 And it has the idea of an exposure which puts to shame.

00:06:20.619 --> 00:06:26.679
 So the aim of the Holy Spirit's work is not to produce a guilty verdict,

00:06:27.019 --> 00:06:30.879
 because that is already there according to John chapter 3.

00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:38.099
 The aim is to help us to see the perilous condition in which we stand before God.

00:06:38.100 --> 00:06:43.240
 It's like a bright spotlight shining into a dark night,

00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:48.480
 cutting through the darkness and revealing whatever was hidden in the darkness.

00:06:49.820 --> 00:06:54.660
 The Spirit comes to shine light into the world.

00:06:54.660 --> 00:07:04.620
 But what we need to see is it happens as the disciples testify to what Jesus has done,

00:07:04.700 --> 00:07:08.240
 that the Spirit is doing his work of convicting and exposing the world.

00:07:08.500 --> 00:07:10.980
 So I'll read again from chapter 15, verse 26.

00:07:11.440 --> 00:07:15.400
 When the counsellor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father,

00:07:15.500 --> 00:07:18.260
 the Spirit of truth, who goes out from the Father,

00:07:18.780 --> 00:07:21.640
 he will testify about me.

00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:24.019
 And then look at the very next verse.

00:07:25.139 --> 00:07:31.219
 And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.

00:07:32.139 --> 00:07:34.860
 And so the way that the Spirit will convict the world

00:07:34.860 --> 00:07:38.620
 is as the disciples bear witness to Jesus.

00:07:40.740 --> 00:07:44.819
 Verses 8 to 11 are the central verses of this section,

00:07:44.919 --> 00:07:47.939
 and they reveal how the Spirit will convict the world.

00:07:47.939 --> 00:07:51.019
 He will point the spotlight, if you like,

00:07:51.339 --> 00:07:53.819
 and he will expose three areas.

00:07:55.180 --> 00:07:56.819
 The attitudes of the world,

00:07:57.219 --> 00:07:58.839
 the actions of the world,

00:07:58.899 --> 00:08:01.379
 and the accountability of the world.

00:08:02.379 --> 00:08:03.920
 Firstly, when the Spirit comes,

00:08:04.019 --> 00:08:05.480
 he will convict the world, verse 9,

00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:07.000
 in regard to sin,

00:08:07.620 --> 00:08:10.220
 because men do not believe in me.

00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:14.819
 Sin is where we place ourselves

00:08:14.819 --> 00:08:17.339
 at the centre of the universe.

00:08:17.339 --> 00:08:18.519
 It's an attitude that says,

00:08:18.679 --> 00:08:19.619
 I am the king.

00:08:20.599 --> 00:08:24.259
 Sin doesn't recognise that Jesus is God's appointed king.

00:08:24.679 --> 00:08:27.439
 And Jesus says that he will send the Spirit,

00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:30.439
 and he will be at work in the world,

00:08:30.599 --> 00:08:34.059
 bringing people to a self-conscious recognition

00:08:34.059 --> 00:08:36.799
 of personal and collective guilt.

00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:41.779
 The Spirit will expose the way people reject God,

00:08:41.779 --> 00:08:44.639
 and the way that they have rejected Jesus.

00:08:45.319 --> 00:08:47.639
 That they do not believe his claims,

00:08:47.779 --> 00:08:49.720
 that they do not accept his teaching,

00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.600
 that they do not turn to him for salvation

00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:55.139
 or discern their need of him.

00:08:55.740 --> 00:08:57.019
 The Spirit will come,

00:08:58.159 --> 00:08:59.860
 and as disciples speak,

00:09:00.500 --> 00:09:03.000
 he will convict the world of their sin,

00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:04.759
 of rejecting Jesus.

00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:08.759
 Secondly, the Spirit will expose the actions of the world,

00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:11.200
 and this has to do with the moral side of sin.

00:09:11.319 --> 00:09:12.159
 In verse 10,

00:09:12.620 --> 00:09:13.860
 in regard to righteousness,

00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:15.659
 because I am going to the Father,

00:09:16.019 --> 00:09:17.960
 where you can see me no longer.

00:09:19.220 --> 00:09:20.819
 It is quite amazing that,

00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:23.000
 as you read through John's Gospel,

00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:26.519
 to see how often Jesus clashed

00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:28.019
 with religious people,

00:09:28.319 --> 00:09:30.100
 with people who thought that

00:09:30.100 --> 00:09:31.840
 they were doing pretty much okay.

00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:34.920
 But as Jesus interacts with them,

00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:37.300
 what he does is he exposes them

00:09:37.300 --> 00:09:38.700
 as to being complete fakes,

00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:39.759
 as being shams.

00:09:41.220 --> 00:09:44.259
 And so the conviction in regard to righteousness here

00:09:44.259 --> 00:09:46.600
 has an ironic edge to it.

00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:47.879
 People of the world

00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:50.360
 do not normally think of themselves

00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:51.560
 as lost,

00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:52.899
 as sinners.

00:09:53.940 --> 00:09:55.759
 We struggle with that.

00:09:57.320 --> 00:10:00.040
 We have a much better view of ourselves

00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:01.860
 than we ought.

00:10:03.059 --> 00:10:05.199
 We naturally think of ourselves

00:10:05.199 --> 00:10:07.879
 as essentially righteous

00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:13.659
 until you have Jesus standing beside you.

00:10:15.620 --> 00:10:17.799
 I used to play tennis every week.

00:10:19.019 --> 00:10:19.719
 And after a while,

00:10:19.819 --> 00:10:20.659
 I started to think

00:10:20.659 --> 00:10:22.019
 I wasn't too bad at the game.

00:10:22.839 --> 00:10:24.240
 When you play with people

00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:26.179
 who are 10 to 15 years older than you,

00:10:26.259 --> 00:10:27.379
 it's not hard to think,

00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:28.179
 generally.

00:10:28.179 --> 00:10:32.479
 You pick your opponents well.

00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:36.439
 I knew I wasn't the best of the game.

00:10:36.500 --> 00:10:37.439
 I could see that.

00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:41.359
 But I certainly had my fair share of on days

00:10:41.359 --> 00:10:43.299
 and a few off days as well.

00:10:44.419 --> 00:10:46.059
 It wasn't until I did wedding prep

00:10:46.059 --> 00:10:47.000
 with a guy once,

00:10:47.299 --> 00:10:49.799
 I went there before going to tennis,

00:10:50.299 --> 00:10:51.620
 and I had my tennis gear,

00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:51.899
 and he said,

00:10:51.939 --> 00:10:52.479
 you play tennis?

00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:53.379
 I said, yeah, I do.

00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:55.059
 And he said, fantastic.

00:10:55.059 --> 00:10:55.419
 Fantastic.

00:10:55.579 --> 00:10:56.739
 After a few weeks,

00:10:56.919 --> 00:10:58.759
 he said, I play the occasional game of tennis.

00:10:58.859 --> 00:10:59.859
 We should play one day.

00:11:00.219 --> 00:11:00.579
 Awesome.

00:11:01.319 --> 00:11:03.039
 So this guy was younger than me,

00:11:03.079 --> 00:11:04.279
 so I thought at the very least,

00:11:04.339 --> 00:11:05.239
 I'll get some exercise.

00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:08.599
 And so we get up there,

00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:10.579
 and the first service told me

00:11:10.579 --> 00:11:12.099
 that I had made a grave mistake.

00:11:13.099 --> 00:11:15.539
 This guy was an A-grade tennis player.

00:11:15.539 --> 00:11:18.059
 And so I'm standing there.

00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:19.879
 I'm seeing him serve.

00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:21.959
 I know the ball's going to go to the right.

00:11:22.179 --> 00:11:24.019
 He does a beautiful kick in his serve.

00:11:24.139 --> 00:11:25.199
 I dive to the right,

00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:26.480
 and the ball goes to the left.

00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:28.659
 There's no...

00:11:28.659 --> 00:11:28.939
 What?

00:11:29.059 --> 00:11:31.179
 This guy could make a tennis ball do magic.

00:11:31.299 --> 00:11:32.259
 It was amazing.

00:11:32.699 --> 00:11:33.779
 Eventually, I'd just stand there

00:11:33.779 --> 00:11:35.659
 and just let me watch you play.

00:11:36.459 --> 00:11:36.839
 You know,

00:11:37.019 --> 00:11:38.360
 and in the end,

00:11:38.419 --> 00:11:39.279
 he thrashed me.

00:11:39.439 --> 00:11:40.839
 I got no point from him.

00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:42.719
 He didn't even make a mistake

00:11:42.719 --> 00:11:44.139
 in order for me to get a point.

00:11:44.139 --> 00:11:45.679
 He thrashed me.

00:11:46.139 --> 00:11:47.139
 And so the next time,

00:11:47.179 --> 00:11:47.360
 he said,

00:11:47.439 --> 00:11:48.620
 we should do this again someday.

00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:49.120
 Yes.

00:11:51.980 --> 00:11:55.019
 When I get over this demoralising defeat,

00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:55.860
 I will do that.

00:11:56.220 --> 00:11:56.960
 Next time,

00:11:57.039 --> 00:11:58.240
 I brought in someone else,

00:11:58.259 --> 00:11:59.879
 and we played doubles against him.

00:12:00.259 --> 00:12:02.179
 And he thrashed us both.

00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:04.720
 And so the way to handle that

00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:06.480
 is just never invite him back again.

00:12:06.939 --> 00:12:08.000
 And that's what we did.

00:12:09.779 --> 00:12:10.299
 You see,

00:12:10.659 --> 00:12:12.039
 after playing with him

00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:13.120
 for a very short time,

00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:15.320
 I realised I wasn't such a hotshot.

00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:18.500
 Perfection does that for you.

00:12:19.500 --> 00:12:20.740
 It exposes

00:12:20.740 --> 00:12:23.060
 your weaknesses

00:12:23.060 --> 00:12:24.860
 and your inadequacies.

00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:27.060
 And that is what

00:12:27.060 --> 00:12:28.720
 the perfect life of Jesus did

00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:29.879
 with everyone he met.

00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:31.019
 Compared with Jesus,

00:12:31.580 --> 00:12:33.320
 even the good things that we do,

00:12:33.419 --> 00:12:34.539
 which are mixed with

00:12:34.539 --> 00:12:36.080
 bad motives,

00:12:36.259 --> 00:12:37.659
 are like filthy rags

00:12:37.659 --> 00:12:39.399
 beside Jesus.

00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:41.639
 Until a person

00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:42.559
 who is satisfied

00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:43.799
 with their own righteousness

00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:45.919
 perceives its inadequacy,

00:12:46.419 --> 00:12:47.799
 its self-centredness,

00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:48.620
 its shortcomings,

00:12:48.740 --> 00:12:49.799
 its imperfections,

00:12:50.019 --> 00:12:51.379
 it is difficult

00:12:51.379 --> 00:12:52.340
 to perceive

00:12:52.340 --> 00:12:54.360
 how the good news

00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:55.100
 of the gospel

00:12:55.100 --> 00:12:56.679
 will ever be received

00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:58.220
 as good news.

00:12:58.220 --> 00:13:01.240
 The good news is

00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:02.580
 that in trusting Jesus,

00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:04.120
 not only is our sin

00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:05.100
 placed on Jesus,

00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:07.360
 but his perfect righteousness

00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:09.040
 is placed on us.

00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:11.240
 It becomes ours.

00:13:14.820 --> 00:13:15.920
 But if it is just

00:13:15.920 --> 00:13:17.019
 the work of the Holy Spirit

00:13:17.019 --> 00:13:17.639
 to show up

00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:18.660
 the false righteousness

00:13:18.660 --> 00:13:19.800
 of the world,

00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:23.600
 now that Jesus

00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:24.440
 returned to the Father,

00:13:24.500 --> 00:13:25.800
 what part do the disciples

00:13:25.800 --> 00:13:26.600
 play in that?

00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:29.100
 If we are walking

00:13:29.100 --> 00:13:29.639
 with him

00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:30.560
 and he's our partner

00:13:30.560 --> 00:13:31.139
 in this,

00:13:32.040 --> 00:13:33.519
 we know it is the Holy Spirit

00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:34.519
 who's bare witness,

00:13:34.899 --> 00:13:35.620
 but the disciples

00:13:35.620 --> 00:13:37.159
 must also bear witness.

00:13:38.700 --> 00:13:39.620
 In a sense,

00:13:39.820 --> 00:13:41.139
 we join the Holy Spirit

00:13:41.139 --> 00:13:42.639
 in preserving

00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:44.159
 the presence of Christ

00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:45.820
 in our Christ-rejecting world.

00:13:47.620 --> 00:13:48.720
 The Holy Spirit

00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:50.420
 in part discharges

00:13:50.420 --> 00:13:51.980
 his witnessing responsibility

00:13:51.980 --> 00:13:53.980
 by transforming

00:13:53.980 --> 00:13:55.539
 the righteousness

00:13:55.539 --> 00:13:57.060
 of the disciples.

00:13:57.860 --> 00:13:59.220
 The Holy Spirit

00:13:59.220 --> 00:13:59.940
 works

00:13:59.940 --> 00:14:01.200
 in the disciple

00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:01.800
 of Jesus

00:14:01.800 --> 00:14:02.940
 to produce

00:14:02.940 --> 00:14:03.820
 deep

00:14:03.820 --> 00:14:04.740
 biblical

00:14:04.740 --> 00:14:05.940
 righteousness

00:14:05.940 --> 00:14:08.000
 which convicts

00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:08.420
 the world

00:14:08.420 --> 00:14:10.080
 of its unrighteousness.

00:14:13.940 --> 00:14:15.440
 Our lives matter.

00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:18.440
 Our righteousness

00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:19.139
 matters.

00:14:19.139 --> 00:14:22.840
 the world

00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:23.539
 ought to be

00:14:23.539 --> 00:14:24.159
 convicted

00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:25.919
 of their

00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:26.939
 unrighteousness

00:14:26.939 --> 00:14:28.039
 by our righteousness.

00:14:31.100 --> 00:14:32.519
 So whether it is

00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:32.960
 through

00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:34.240
 his own

00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:35.480
 secret operation

00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:37.199
 or through

00:14:37.199 --> 00:14:37.899
 the disciples

00:14:37.899 --> 00:14:38.519
 of Jesus,

00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:40.480
 the Spirit

00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:41.240
 is actively

00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:42.259
 transforming.

00:14:45.700 --> 00:14:46.819
 Through the disciples

00:14:46.819 --> 00:14:47.080
 of Jesus,

00:14:47.139 --> 00:14:47.399
 he's actively

00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:47.860
 transforming,

00:14:47.860 --> 00:14:48.860
 he confronts

00:14:48.860 --> 00:14:49.440
 the world

00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:50.460
 with the

00:14:50.460 --> 00:14:51.200
 inadequacy

00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:51.680
 of its

00:14:51.680 --> 00:14:52.279
 own

00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:54.039
 self-righteousness.

00:14:54.899 --> 00:14:55.539
 The third

00:14:55.539 --> 00:14:56.240
 exposing work

00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:56.960
 of the Holy Spirit

00:14:56.960 --> 00:14:57.720
 is that he will

00:14:57.720 --> 00:14:58.500
 expose the world

00:14:58.500 --> 00:14:59.220
 to accountability.

00:15:00.340 --> 00:15:01.000
 People are not

00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:01.700
 right with God

00:15:01.700 --> 00:15:02.360
 because they have

00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:03.600
 rejected Christ

00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:05.120
 and therefore

00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:05.980
 they deserve

00:15:05.980 --> 00:15:06.620
 God's

00:15:06.620 --> 00:15:07.440
 punishment.

00:15:08.019 --> 00:15:08.919
 And the Holy Spirit's

00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:09.820
 job is

00:15:09.820 --> 00:15:10.560
 in effect

00:15:10.560 --> 00:15:11.220
 to pull our

00:15:11.220 --> 00:15:11.940
 heads out of

00:15:11.940 --> 00:15:12.519
 the sand

00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:13.779
 so that we can

00:15:13.779 --> 00:15:14.539
 recognize

00:15:14.539 --> 00:15:15.620
 the grave danger

00:15:15.620 --> 00:15:16.379
 that we are in.

00:15:16.379 --> 00:15:18.379
 the Holy Spirit

00:15:18.379 --> 00:15:19.600
 helps us to see

00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:20.840
 that we are on

00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:21.919
 a collision course

00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:22.799
 of judgment

00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:23.539
 with God

00:15:23.539 --> 00:15:26.580
 and that on

00:15:26.580 --> 00:15:27.360
 that process

00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:28.019
 of that collision

00:15:28.019 --> 00:15:28.439
 course

00:15:28.439 --> 00:15:29.419
 that all our

00:15:29.419 --> 00:15:29.879
 judgments

00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:31.039
 about Christ

00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:32.179
 and about God

00:15:32.179 --> 00:15:32.779
 and about the

00:15:32.779 --> 00:15:33.639
 spiritual realm

00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:34.620
 and about life

00:15:34.620 --> 00:15:35.200
 and death

00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:36.659
 are all wrong

00:15:36.659 --> 00:15:37.659
 judgments

00:15:37.659 --> 00:15:39.539
 without the

00:15:39.539 --> 00:15:39.840
 Spirit.

00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.759
 And so how

00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:44.220
 does the Spirit

00:15:44.220 --> 00:15:44.700
 do that?

00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:45.800
 Verse 11

00:15:45.800 --> 00:15:47.220
 He will expose

00:15:47.220 --> 00:15:48.160
 the world

00:15:48.160 --> 00:15:49.139
 of judgment

00:15:49.139 --> 00:15:49.879
 because

00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:51.139
 the prince

00:15:51.139 --> 00:15:51.740
 of this world

00:15:51.740 --> 00:15:52.700
 now stands

00:15:52.700 --> 00:15:53.519
 condemned.

00:15:54.160 --> 00:15:54.780
 He's talking

00:15:54.780 --> 00:15:55.420
 about Satan

00:15:55.420 --> 00:15:55.940
 when he talks

00:15:55.940 --> 00:15:56.540
 about the prince

00:15:56.540 --> 00:15:57.259
 of this world.

00:15:58.379 --> 00:15:59.100
 One of the first

00:15:59.100 --> 00:15:59.800
 things that happened

00:15:59.800 --> 00:16:00.480
 when Hitler

00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:01.960
 was overthrown

00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:02.620
 was that all

00:16:02.620 --> 00:16:03.259
 his cronies

00:16:03.259 --> 00:16:03.940
 apart from those

00:16:03.940 --> 00:16:04.759
 who committed suicide

00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:05.360
 and those who were

00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:05.720
 captured

00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:07.060
 they headed off

00:16:07.060 --> 00:16:07.980
 to South America.

00:16:07.980 --> 00:16:10.420
 Hitler had fallen

00:16:10.420 --> 00:16:11.700
 and their own

00:16:11.700 --> 00:16:12.720
 downfall

00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:13.659
 and their own

00:16:13.659 --> 00:16:14.279
 judgment

00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:15.159
 was a certainty

00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:15.879
 as a result.

00:16:17.539 --> 00:16:18.259
 And so as Jesus

00:16:18.259 --> 00:16:19.620
 goes to the cross

00:16:19.620 --> 00:16:21.480
 he sets in motion

00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:23.139
 a sequence of events

00:16:23.139 --> 00:16:23.980
 almost like a

00:16:23.980 --> 00:16:24.639
 domino effect.

00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:26.080
 Because Satan

00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:27.360
 has been judged

00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:29.700
 then the overthrow

00:16:29.700 --> 00:16:31.580
 of every individual

00:16:31.580 --> 00:16:33.000
 who belongs to him

00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:34.840
 is a certainty.

00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:38.180
 If your attitude

00:16:38.180 --> 00:16:38.879
 to Jesus

00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:40.220
 is one of rejection

00:16:40.220 --> 00:16:41.840
 then you are

00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:42.980
 in fact siding

00:16:42.980 --> 00:16:44.320
 with the prince

00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:45.120
 of this world.

00:16:46.280 --> 00:16:47.300
 And your eventual

00:16:47.300 --> 00:16:48.560
 overthrow

00:16:48.560 --> 00:16:50.040
 like his

00:16:50.040 --> 00:16:51.200
 your eventual

00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:51.820
 judgment

00:16:51.820 --> 00:16:53.240
 is a

00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:54.720
 dead certainty.

00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:56.620
 And so the

00:16:56.620 --> 00:16:57.320
 Holy Spirit

00:16:57.320 --> 00:16:59.180
 shines the light

00:16:59.180 --> 00:16:59.820
 of the gospel

00:16:59.820 --> 00:17:00.460
 of our Lord

00:17:00.460 --> 00:17:01.340
 Jesus Christ

00:17:01.340 --> 00:17:02.980
 in such a way

00:17:02.980 --> 00:17:04.259
 that our hearts

00:17:04.259 --> 00:17:06.099
 and our minds

00:17:06.099 --> 00:17:07.620
 our judgments

00:17:07.620 --> 00:17:09.240
 are all

00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:10.140
 exposed

00:17:10.140 --> 00:17:11.099
 for what they

00:17:11.099 --> 00:17:11.720
 are.

00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:14.200
 False.

00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:15.620
 Fake.

00:17:18.360 --> 00:17:18.640
 You see

00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:19.200
 having cotton

00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:19.539
 onto the

00:17:19.539 --> 00:17:21.220
 onto the fact

00:17:21.220 --> 00:17:21.980
 that our attitude

00:17:21.980 --> 00:17:23.099
 is one of rebellion

00:17:23.099 --> 00:17:24.700
 having seen

00:17:24.700 --> 00:17:25.539
 our actions

00:17:25.539 --> 00:17:26.380
 as like filthy

00:17:26.380 --> 00:17:27.640
 rags to God

00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:28.740
 it is clear

00:17:28.740 --> 00:17:29.180
 that we are

00:17:29.180 --> 00:17:30.240
 accountable to God

00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:31.920
 and that my friends

00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:33.240
 is not the work

00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:34.079
 of your intellect

00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:35.480
 it is the work

00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:36.599
 of the Holy Spirit.

00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:43.319
 Without the work

00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:44.220
 of the Spirit

00:17:44.220 --> 00:17:46.240
 shining

00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:47.779
 that into your

00:17:47.779 --> 00:17:48.079
 heart

00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:48.980
 and into your mind

00:17:48.980 --> 00:17:49.519
 you are not

00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:50.720
 capable of seeing it.

00:17:54.120 --> 00:17:54.839
 The world

00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:55.940
 is so depraved

00:17:55.940 --> 00:17:57.019
 left to our own

00:17:57.019 --> 00:17:57.480
 devices

00:17:57.480 --> 00:17:58.200
 we are so

00:17:58.200 --> 00:17:58.940
 depraved

00:17:58.940 --> 00:18:00.200
 we fail

00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:00.860
 to discern

00:18:00.860 --> 00:18:01.559
 what sin

00:18:01.559 --> 00:18:02.100
 righteousness

00:18:02.100 --> 00:18:02.860
 and judgment

00:18:02.860 --> 00:18:03.700
 really are

00:18:03.700 --> 00:18:05.019
 and only

00:18:05.019 --> 00:18:06.019
 by the Spirit's

00:18:06.019 --> 00:18:07.000
 deep convicting

00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:07.580
 work

00:18:07.580 --> 00:18:09.220
 can we ever

00:18:09.220 --> 00:18:10.220
 hope to recognize

00:18:10.220 --> 00:18:11.240
 the magnitude

00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:13.120
 of our misconceptions

00:18:13.120 --> 00:18:14.840
 and our gross

00:18:14.840 --> 00:18:15.840
 unbelief.

00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:19.759
 And so

00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:23.360
 these verses

00:18:23.360 --> 00:18:25.500
 I believe

00:18:25.500 --> 00:18:26.220
 serve to

00:18:26.220 --> 00:18:26.799
 foster

00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:27.659
 a quiet

00:18:27.659 --> 00:18:28.319
 confidence

00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:29.240
 in the heart

00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:30.139
 of every

00:18:30.139 --> 00:18:30.819
 believer

00:18:30.819 --> 00:18:32.720
 as we face

00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:33.559
 the responsibility

00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:34.599
 to bear witness

00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:35.200
 to Jesus.

00:18:37.259 --> 00:18:38.139
 These verses

00:18:38.139 --> 00:18:38.659
 firstly

00:18:38.659 --> 00:18:39.379
 humble us

00:18:39.379 --> 00:18:40.099
 and realize

00:18:40.099 --> 00:18:41.119
 what we are

00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:41.700
 not capable

00:18:41.700 --> 00:18:42.359
 of doing

00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:43.879
 and secondly

00:18:43.879 --> 00:18:45.180
 they are there

00:18:45.180 --> 00:18:45.720
 to foster

00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:46.299
 a quiet

00:18:46.299 --> 00:18:46.899
 confidence

00:18:46.899 --> 00:18:47.460
 in the heart

00:18:47.460 --> 00:18:48.379
 of every believer

00:18:48.379 --> 00:18:49.119
 with the

00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:49.779
 responsibility

00:18:49.779 --> 00:18:51.339
 to bear witness

00:18:51.339 --> 00:18:51.960
 to Jesus.

00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:55.519
 we look

00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:55.940
 around the

00:18:55.940 --> 00:18:56.160
 world

00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:56.400
 and we

00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:56.680
 wonder

00:18:56.680 --> 00:18:59.000
 how we

00:18:59.000 --> 00:18:59.660
 can ever

00:18:59.660 --> 00:19:00.220
 persuade

00:19:00.220 --> 00:19:00.759
 people to

00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:01.240
 believe in

00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:01.700
 the gospel

00:19:01.700 --> 00:19:02.019
 of the

00:19:02.019 --> 00:19:02.200
 Lord

00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:02.600
 Jesus

00:19:02.600 --> 00:19:03.160
 it just

00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:03.779
 seems like

00:19:03.779 --> 00:19:04.480
 nuts

00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:05.420
 on the

00:19:05.420 --> 00:19:05.819
 surface

00:19:05.819 --> 00:19:08.299
 we know

00:19:08.299 --> 00:19:08.660
 we don't

00:19:08.660 --> 00:19:08.980
 want to

00:19:08.980 --> 00:19:09.539
 stoop to

00:19:09.539 --> 00:19:10.059
 gimmicks

00:19:10.059 --> 00:19:10.559
 and playing

00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:11.059
 tricks

00:19:11.059 --> 00:19:11.720
 and manipulation

00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:13.220
 and we

00:19:13.220 --> 00:19:13.620
 know that

00:19:13.620 --> 00:19:13.940
 in the

00:19:13.940 --> 00:19:14.140
 end

00:19:14.140 --> 00:19:14.660
 intellectual

00:19:14.660 --> 00:19:15.240
 arguments

00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:15.740
 why they're

00:19:15.740 --> 00:19:16.140
 helpful

00:19:16.140 --> 00:19:17.559
 they alone

00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:18.360
 don't guarantee

00:19:18.360 --> 00:19:18.920
 anything

00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:19.539
 because it's

00:19:19.539 --> 00:19:20.140
 not a matter

00:19:20.140 --> 00:19:20.539
 of the

00:19:20.539 --> 00:19:21.279
 intellect

00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:24.160
 we know

00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:24.720
 of people

00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:25.879
 who know

00:19:25.879 --> 00:19:26.779
 certain facts

00:19:26.779 --> 00:19:27.059
 about

00:19:27.059 --> 00:19:27.720
 Christianity

00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:28.839
 who

00:19:28.839 --> 00:19:29.819
 probably

00:19:29.819 --> 00:19:30.240
 even know

00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:30.799
 the right

00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:31.440
 facts about

00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:32.039
 Jesus

00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:34.019
 and yet

00:19:34.019 --> 00:19:34.539
 who refuse

00:19:34.539 --> 00:19:35.079
 to trust

00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:35.599
 Jesus

00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:38.660
 we often

00:19:38.660 --> 00:19:39.099
 wonder

00:19:39.099 --> 00:19:39.599
 how will

00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:40.160
 we ever

00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:40.619
 penetrate

00:19:40.619 --> 00:19:41.200
 the wall

00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:42.019
 of unbelief

00:19:42.019 --> 00:19:44.180
 how will

00:19:44.180 --> 00:19:44.720
 we ever

00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:45.180
 penetrate

00:19:45.180 --> 00:19:45.559
 the wall

00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:46.180
 of unbelief

00:19:46.180 --> 00:19:47.000
 in Chatswood

00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:50.599
 let me

00:19:50.599 --> 00:19:50.960
 tell you

00:19:50.960 --> 00:19:51.400
 I would

00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:51.960
 quit

00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:53.279
 Christian

00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:53.799
 ministry

00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:54.680
 immediately

00:19:54.680 --> 00:19:55.940
 if I

00:19:55.940 --> 00:19:56.600
 was not

00:19:56.600 --> 00:19:57.160
 convinced

00:19:57.160 --> 00:19:57.759
 that it's

00:19:57.759 --> 00:19:58.220
 the Lord

00:19:58.220 --> 00:19:58.700
 Jesus

00:19:58.700 --> 00:19:59.180
 who is

00:19:59.180 --> 00:19:59.460
 building

00:19:59.460 --> 00:19:59.779
 his

00:19:59.779 --> 00:20:00.299
 church

00:20:00.299 --> 00:20:02.319
 and if

00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:02.880
 it wasn't

00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:03.740
 that the

00:20:03.740 --> 00:20:04.440
 father had

00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:05.299
 given people

00:20:05.299 --> 00:20:05.860
 to his

00:20:05.860 --> 00:20:06.279
 son

00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:08.500
 and that

00:20:08.500 --> 00:20:08.880
 the Holy

00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:09.319
 Spirit

00:20:09.319 --> 00:20:09.860
 is working

00:20:09.860 --> 00:20:10.079
 in the

00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:10.299
 world

00:20:10.299 --> 00:20:11.640
 to convict

00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:12.180
 the world

00:20:12.180 --> 00:20:12.620
 of its

00:20:12.620 --> 00:20:12.960
 sin

00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:13.420
 and its

00:20:13.420 --> 00:20:13.900
 righteousness

00:20:13.900 --> 00:20:14.819
 and its

00:20:14.819 --> 00:20:15.460
 judgment

00:20:15.460 --> 00:20:18.500
 I have

00:20:18.500 --> 00:20:19.279
 no confidence

00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:20.160
 that on

00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:20.840
 my own

00:20:20.840 --> 00:20:21.700
 I could

00:20:21.700 --> 00:20:22.480
 successfully

00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:23.059
 persuade

00:20:23.059 --> 00:20:23.920
 anyone

00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:27.160
 including

00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:27.460
 my

00:20:27.460 --> 00:20:28.000
 children

00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:30.779
 and I

00:20:30.779 --> 00:20:30.940
 can

00:20:30.940 --> 00:20:31.279
 persuade

00:20:31.279 --> 00:20:31.440
 them

00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:31.799
 of most

00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:32.299
 things

00:20:32.299 --> 00:20:35.660
 I have

00:20:35.660 --> 00:20:36.279
 no confidence

00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:36.819
 on my own

00:20:36.819 --> 00:20:37.200
 that I could

00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:37.740
 successfully

00:20:37.740 --> 00:20:38.160
 persuade

00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:38.720
 anyone

00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:39.079
 of their

00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:39.480
 deepest

00:20:39.480 --> 00:20:39.920
 need

00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:40.960
 and of

00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:41.400
 the truth

00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:41.660
 of the

00:20:41.660 --> 00:20:41.960
 gospel

00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:42.299
 of the

00:20:42.299 --> 00:20:42.480
 Lord

00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:42.779
 Jesus

00:20:42.779 --> 00:20:43.359
 Christ

00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:43.819
 and therefore

00:20:43.819 --> 00:20:44.379
 I find

00:20:44.379 --> 00:20:44.899
 this passage

00:20:44.899 --> 00:20:45.379
 comforting

00:20:45.379 --> 00:20:49.460
 I have

00:20:49.460 --> 00:20:49.879
 not

00:20:49.879 --> 00:20:50.460
 been

00:20:50.460 --> 00:20:50.899
 abandoned

00:20:50.899 --> 00:20:51.940
 to do

00:20:51.940 --> 00:20:52.559
 the task

00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:52.899
 of bearing

00:20:52.899 --> 00:20:53.460
 witness to

00:20:53.460 --> 00:20:53.779
 the Lord

00:20:53.779 --> 00:20:54.180
 Jesus

00:20:54.180 --> 00:20:56.899
 such a

00:20:56.899 --> 00:20:58.440
 perspective

00:20:58.440 --> 00:20:59.740
 feels my

00:20:59.740 --> 00:21:00.139
 labour

00:21:00.139 --> 00:21:01.079
 and ought

00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:01.399
 to feel

00:21:01.399 --> 00:21:02.039
 your labour

00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:02.720
 for Christ

00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:03.740
 with such

00:21:03.740 --> 00:21:04.619
 a supreme

00:21:04.619 --> 00:21:05.879
 significance

00:21:05.879 --> 00:21:07.379
 that it

00:21:07.379 --> 00:21:07.859
 ought to

00:21:07.859 --> 00:21:08.799
 obliterate

00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:09.839
 any fear

00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:10.680
 of failure

00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:13.080
 because

00:21:13.080 --> 00:21:13.580
 your work

00:21:13.580 --> 00:21:13.880
 for the

00:21:13.880 --> 00:21:14.060
 Lord

00:21:14.060 --> 00:21:14.400
 is not

00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:14.600
 in

00:21:14.600 --> 00:21:14.880
 vain

00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:21.600
 but wait

00:21:21.600 --> 00:21:21.840
 there's

00:21:21.840 --> 00:21:22.080
 more

00:21:22.080 --> 00:21:23.960
 there's

00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:24.259
 more to

00:21:24.259 --> 00:21:24.580
 come from

00:21:24.580 --> 00:21:24.759
 this

00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:25.240
 passage

00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:27.120
 I was

00:21:27.120 --> 00:21:27.320
 tempted

00:21:27.320 --> 00:21:27.720
 to leave

00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:28.039
 it there

00:21:28.039 --> 00:21:28.400
 but we'd

00:21:28.400 --> 00:21:28.560
 only

00:21:28.560 --> 00:21:28.860
 probably

00:21:28.860 --> 00:21:29.240
 filled

00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:29.799
 in 15

00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:30.220
 minutes

00:21:30.220 --> 00:21:32.640
 some of

00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:32.860
 you may

00:21:32.860 --> 00:21:33.220
 say that's

00:21:33.220 --> 00:21:33.539
 enough

00:21:33.539 --> 00:21:35.240
 there is a

00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:35.940
 second ministry

00:21:35.940 --> 00:21:36.340
 the Holy

00:21:36.340 --> 00:21:36.720
 Spirit

00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:37.259
 and it

00:21:37.259 --> 00:21:37.940
 is linked

00:21:37.940 --> 00:21:38.840
 and it

00:21:38.840 --> 00:21:39.259
 is very

00:21:39.259 --> 00:21:39.860
 precious

00:21:39.859 --> 00:21:44.659
 it's

00:21:44.659 --> 00:21:45.139
 there in

00:21:45.139 --> 00:21:46.000
 verse 12

00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:46.559
 I have

00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:47.199
 much more

00:21:47.199 --> 00:21:47.599
 to say

00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:47.839
 to you

00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:48.299
 much more

00:21:48.299 --> 00:21:48.639
 than you

00:21:48.639 --> 00:21:49.019
 can now

00:21:49.019 --> 00:21:49.399
 bear

00:21:49.399 --> 00:21:50.399
 and so

00:21:50.399 --> 00:21:50.679
 there is

00:21:50.679 --> 00:21:51.139
 a sense

00:21:51.139 --> 00:21:51.519
 where

00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:52.839
 these

00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:53.359
 eleven

00:21:53.359 --> 00:21:53.779
 can't

00:21:53.779 --> 00:21:54.039
 take

00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:54.599
 any more

00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:55.299
 from

00:21:55.299 --> 00:21:55.639
 Jesus

00:21:55.639 --> 00:21:56.000
 because

00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:56.259
 their

00:21:56.259 --> 00:21:56.879
 confusion

00:21:56.879 --> 00:21:57.539
 and grief

00:21:57.539 --> 00:21:58.019
 they are

00:21:58.019 --> 00:21:58.759
 experiencing

00:21:58.759 --> 00:21:59.579
 and there's

00:21:59.579 --> 00:22:00.059
 also a

00:22:00.059 --> 00:22:00.259
 sense

00:22:00.259 --> 00:22:00.619
 where they

00:22:00.619 --> 00:22:01.119
 can't

00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:01.419
 fully

00:22:01.419 --> 00:22:01.939
 grasp

00:22:01.939 --> 00:22:02.099
 it

00:22:02.099 --> 00:22:02.339
 until

00:22:02.339 --> 00:22:02.899
 after

00:22:02.899 --> 00:22:03.740
 the

00:22:03.740 --> 00:22:04.059
 death

00:22:04.059 --> 00:22:04.219
 and

00:22:04.219 --> 00:22:04.679
 resurrection

00:22:04.679 --> 00:22:04.919
 and

00:22:04.919 --> 00:22:05.299
 ascension

00:22:05.299 --> 00:22:05.519
 of

00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:05.819
 Jesus

00:22:05.819 --> 00:22:06.159
 there's

00:22:06.159 --> 00:22:06.359
 not

00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:07.000
 clarity

00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:07.359
 to what

00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:07.619
 Jesus

00:22:07.619 --> 00:22:08.039
 is saying

00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:08.319
 at this

00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:08.639
 point

00:22:08.639 --> 00:22:09.379
 for them

00:22:09.380 --> 00:22:09.900
 and so

00:22:09.900 --> 00:22:10.160
 here's

00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:10.580
 the second

00:22:10.580 --> 00:22:10.940
 aspect

00:22:10.940 --> 00:22:11.260
 of the

00:22:11.260 --> 00:22:11.460
 Holy

00:22:11.460 --> 00:22:11.940
 Spirit's

00:22:11.940 --> 00:22:12.320
 work

00:22:12.320 --> 00:22:13.180
 he will

00:22:13.180 --> 00:22:13.620
 complete

00:22:13.620 --> 00:22:13.800
 the

00:22:13.800 --> 00:22:14.200
 revelation

00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:14.740
 of God

00:22:14.740 --> 00:22:15.340
 in Jesus

00:22:15.340 --> 00:22:15.760
 Christ

00:22:15.760 --> 00:22:16.600
 verse 13

00:22:16.600 --> 00:22:17.380
 but when

00:22:17.380 --> 00:22:17.840
 he the

00:22:17.840 --> 00:22:18.300
 spirit of

00:22:18.300 --> 00:22:18.540
 truth

00:22:18.540 --> 00:22:19.080
 comes

00:22:19.080 --> 00:22:20.200
 he will

00:22:20.200 --> 00:22:20.700
 guide you

00:22:20.700 --> 00:22:21.160
 into all

00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:21.580
 truth

00:22:21.580 --> 00:22:22.500
 he will

00:22:22.500 --> 00:22:22.980
 not speak

00:22:22.980 --> 00:22:23.340
 on his

00:22:23.340 --> 00:22:23.680
 own

00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:23.940
 he will

00:22:23.940 --> 00:22:24.160
 speak

00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:24.520
 only

00:22:24.520 --> 00:22:24.860
 what he

00:22:24.860 --> 00:22:25.320
 hears

00:22:25.320 --> 00:22:25.680
 and he

00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:26.120
 will tell

00:22:26.120 --> 00:22:26.280
 you

00:22:26.280 --> 00:22:26.620
 what is

00:22:26.620 --> 00:22:26.800
 yet

00:22:26.800 --> 00:22:27.380
 to come

00:22:27.380 --> 00:22:29.640
 chapter 14

00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:30.680
 in chapter

00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:30.960
 14

00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:31.260
 Jesus

00:22:31.260 --> 00:22:31.700
 promised

00:22:31.700 --> 00:22:31.980
 that the

00:22:31.980 --> 00:22:32.340
 spirit of

00:22:32.340 --> 00:22:32.600
 truth

00:22:32.600 --> 00:22:33.260
 will remind

00:22:33.260 --> 00:22:33.440
 the

00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:33.940
 disciples

00:22:33.940 --> 00:22:34.860
 of everything

00:22:34.860 --> 00:22:35.360
 that Jesus

00:22:35.360 --> 00:22:35.880
 taught

00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:36.540
 them

00:22:36.539 --> 00:22:38.659
 now he

00:22:38.659 --> 00:22:39.200
 is promising

00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:39.839
 something a

00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:40.180
 little bit

00:22:40.180 --> 00:22:40.579
 more

00:22:40.579 --> 00:22:42.299
 the 11

00:22:42.299 --> 00:22:42.920
 disciples

00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:43.200
 will be

00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:43.799
 led

00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:44.859
 into a

00:22:44.859 --> 00:22:45.500
 true

00:22:45.500 --> 00:22:46.420
 understanding

00:22:46.420 --> 00:22:47.240
 of the

00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:47.779
 saving

00:22:47.779 --> 00:22:48.599
 events

00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:49.299
 which are

00:22:49.299 --> 00:22:49.779
 about to

00:22:49.779 --> 00:22:50.599
 take place

00:22:50.599 --> 00:22:51.700
 they will

00:22:51.700 --> 00:22:52.579
 get clarity

00:22:52.579 --> 00:22:53.339
 on the

00:22:53.339 --> 00:22:53.740
 death and

00:22:53.740 --> 00:22:54.279
 resurrection

00:22:54.279 --> 00:22:54.899
 and ascension

00:22:54.899 --> 00:22:55.539
 of Jesus

00:22:55.539 --> 00:22:57.000
 and they

00:22:57.000 --> 00:22:57.279
 will be

00:22:57.279 --> 00:22:57.500
 given

00:22:57.500 --> 00:22:58.399
 glimpses

00:22:58.399 --> 00:22:58.839
 of the

00:22:58.839 --> 00:22:59.259
 future

00:22:59.259 --> 00:23:01.000
 the final

00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:02.099
 climax

00:23:02.099 --> 00:23:03.259
 of world

00:23:03.259 --> 00:23:03.799
 history

00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:04.579
 will

00:23:04.579 --> 00:23:05.619
 partially

00:23:05.619 --> 00:23:05.960
 be

00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:06.740
 unveiled

00:23:06.740 --> 00:23:07.379
 to them

00:23:07.379 --> 00:23:08.119
 so that

00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:08.559
 they will

00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:09.019
 be able

00:23:09.019 --> 00:23:09.399
 to get

00:23:09.399 --> 00:23:10.139
 a glimpse

00:23:10.139 --> 00:23:11.619
 of the

00:23:11.619 --> 00:23:12.440
 sweep

00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:13.319
 of God's

00:23:13.319 --> 00:23:13.980
 enormous

00:23:13.980 --> 00:23:14.519
 plan of

00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:15.039
 salvation

00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:15.899
 and the

 all

00:25:47.879 --> 00:25:48.599
 truth

00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:49.700
 concerning

 course

00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:52.720
 the

 acquisition

00:25:53.539 --> 00:25:54.099
 of

00:25:54.819 --> 00:25:55.139
 is

00:25:55.139 --> 00:25:55.919
 intellectual

00:25:55.919 --> 00:25:57.680
 but

00:25:57.680 --> 00:25:57.859
 it

00:25:57.859 --> 00:25:58.079
 is

00:25:58.079 --> 00:25:58.480
 not

00:25:58.480 --> 00:25:59.240
 merely

00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:00.379
 intellectual

00:26:00.379 --> 00:26:10.419
 so

 contemplate

00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:29.839
 and

00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:30.019
 just

00:26:30.019 --> 00:26:30.879
 intellectualize

00:26:30.879 --> 00:26:31.059
 this

00:26:31.059 --> 00:26:31.460

00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:36.900
 the

00:27:36.900 --> 00:27:37.320
 world

00:27:37.320 --> 00:27:39.299
 and

00:27:39.299 --> 00:27:39.460
 so

00:27:39.460 --> 00:27:39.680
 can

00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:39.799
 I

00:27:39.799 --> 00:27:40.059
 say

00:27:40.059 --> 00:27:40.420
 I

00:27:40.420 --> 00:27:40.559
 just

00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:40.680
 want

00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:40.799
 to

00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:41.140
 praise

00:27:41.140 --> 00:27:41.480
 God

00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:41.640
 that

00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:41.759
 we

00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:41.880
 are

00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:42.100
 not

00:27:42.100 --> 00:27:42.299
 left

00:27:42.299 --> 00:27:42.640
 alone

00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:42.980
 to do

00:27:42.980 --> 00:27:43.200
 this

00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:43.500
 work

00:27:43.500 --> 00:27:43.660
 of

00:27:43.660 --> 00:27:43.880
 bearing

00:27:43.880 --> 00:27:44.220
 witness

00:27:44.220 --> 00:27:44.440
 to

00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:44.779
 Jesus

00:27:44.779 --> 00:27:45.099
 in

00:27:45.099 --> 00:27:45.599
 Chatswood

00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:45.759
 and

00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:46.019
 beyond

00:27:46.019 --> 00:27:46.539
 Chatswood

00:27:46.539 --> 00:27:47.420
 we're

00:27:47.420 --> 00:27:47.559
 not

00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:47.779
 left

00:27:47.779 --> 00:27:48.140
 alone

00:27:48.140 --> 00:27:48.279
 to

00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:48.460
 that

00:27:48.460 --> 00:27:49.000
 task

00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:49.940
 if

00:27:49.940 --> 00:27:50.120
 you

00:27:50.120 --> 00:27:50.360
 feel

00:27:50.360 --> 00:27:50.720
 inadequate

00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:51.000
 to

00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:51.200
 that

00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:51.740
 task

00:27:51.740 --> 00:27:53.860
 I

00:27:53.860 --> 00:27:54.039
 think

00:27:54.039 --> 00:27:54.140
 you

00:27:54.140 --> 00:27:54.380
 probably

00:27:54.380 --> 00:27:54.839
 should

00:27:54.839 --> 00:27:59.740
 praise

00:27:59.740 --> 00:28:00.059
 God

00:28:00.059 --> 00:28:00.200
 that

00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:00.380
 the

00:28:00.380 --> 00:28:00.759
 spirit

00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:00.940
 is

00:28:00.940 --> 00:28:01.120
 at

00:28:01.120 --> 00:28:01.380
 work

00:28:01.380 --> 00:28:01.519
 in

00:28:01.519 --> 00:28:01.700
 this

00:28:01.700 --> 00:28:02.000
 world

00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:02.259
 bringing

00:28:02.259 --> 00:28:02.900
 conviction

00:28:02.900 --> 00:28:04.200
 as

00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:04.360
 we

00:28:04.360 --> 00:28:04.920
 faithfully

00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:05.120
 and

00:28:05.120 --> 00:28:05.500
 boldly

00:28:05.500 --> 00:28:05.900
 speak

00:28:05.900 --> 00:28:06.079
 out

00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:06.279
 the

00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:06.579
 truth

00:28:06.579 --> 00:28:06.700
 of

00:28:06.700 --> 00:28:06.860
 the

00:28:06.860 --> 00:28:07.279
 gospel

00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:09.819
 praise

00:28:09.819 --> 00:28:10.140
 God

00:28:10.140 --> 00:28:10.259
 that

00:28:10.259 --> 00:28:10.360
 the

00:28:10.360 --> 00:28:10.539
 work

00:28:10.539 --> 00:28:10.640
 of

00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:10.779
 the

00:28:10.779 --> 00:28:11.240
 spirit

00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:11.680
 is

00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:12.400
 bringing

00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:12.640
 the

00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:13.080
 truths

00:28:13.080 --> 00:28:13.259
 of

00:28:13.259 --> 00:28:13.640
 Christ

00:28:13.640 --> 00:28:13.800
 into

00:28:13.800 --> 00:28:13.980
 my

00:28:13.980 --> 00:28:14.340
 life

00:28:14.340 --> 00:28:14.440
 and

00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:14.600
 I

00:28:14.600 --> 00:28:14.780
 pray

00:28:14.780 --> 00:28:14.960
 that

00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:15.080
 he

00:28:15.080 --> 00:28:15.240
 will

00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:16.019
 continue

00:28:16.019 --> 00:28:16.440
 to bring

00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:16.980
 transformation

00:28:16.980 --> 00:28:17.620
 to me

00:28:17.620 --> 00:28:18.000
 and to

00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:18.340
 you

00:28:18.340 --> 00:28:18.940
 so that

00:28:18.940 --> 00:28:19.360
 we shine

00:28:19.360 --> 00:28:19.820
 forth

00:28:19.820 --> 00:28:20.220
 not just

00:28:20.220 --> 00:28:20.560
 the truth

00:28:20.560 --> 00:28:20.780
 of the

00:28:20.780 --> 00:28:21.080
 gospel

00:28:21.080 --> 00:28:21.400
 but the

00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:21.820
 life of

00:28:21.820 --> 00:28:22.300
 righteousness

00:28:22.300 --> 00:28:23.480
 as well

00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:25.780
 so may we

00:28:25.780 --> 00:28:26.500
 consistently

00:28:26.500 --> 00:28:27.980
 here at

 spirit for

00:28:29.940 --> 00:28:30.560
 empowerment

00:28:30.560 --> 00:28:32.200
 to lead us

00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:32.920
 into all

00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:33.500
 truth

00:28:33.500 --> 00:28:34.820
 and for

00:28:34.820 --> 00:28:35.620
 that truth

00:28:35.620 --> 00:28:35.960
 to bring

00:28:35.960 --> 00:28:36.660
 transformation

00:28:36.660 --> 00:28:37.500
 to our

 truth

00:28:42.679 --> 00:28:43.039
 to have

00:28:43.039 --> 00:28:43.199
 an

00:28:43.199 --> 00:28:43.759

00:28:43.759 --> 00:28:45.339
 in

00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:45.759
 a

00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:45.979
 way

00:28:45.979 --> 00:28:46.199
 that

00:28:46.199 --> 00:28:46.339
 we

00:28:46.339 --> 00:28:46.519
 bear

00:28:46.519 --> 00:28:46.939
 witness

00:28:46.939 --> 00:28:47.079

00:28:49.739 --> 00:28:50.039
 will bring

00:28:50.039 --> 00:28:50.539
 conviction

00:28:50.539 --> 00:28:51.119
 to people's

00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:51.679
