00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.280
 Evening folks, delighted to be with you guys again.

00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:09.120
 In case you haven't met before, I'm Daniel, as Keith said.

00:00:10.259 --> 00:00:12.740
! Let me just pray before we read again.

00:00:12.740 --> 00:00:12.779
 Amen.

00:00:42.740 --> 00:00:48.039
 We'll be continuing in John 13, from verse 18 to the end.

00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:51.040
 Jesus said,

00:00:52.040 --> 00:00:55.160
 I'm not referring to all of you, I know those whom I have chosen.

00:00:56.020 --> 00:00:58.060
 But this is to fulfill the passage of Scripture,

00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:02.040
 He who shared my bread has turned against me.

00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:05.020
 Sorry, I have technical issues. There we go.

00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:07.920
 I'm telling you now before it happens,

00:01:08.260 --> 00:01:11.240
 so that when it does happen, you will believe that I am who I am.

00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:16.379
 Very truly, I tell you, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me,

00:01:17.219 --> 00:01:19.819
 and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me.

00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:25.299
 After he had said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified,

00:01:26.019 --> 00:01:28.359
 Very truly, I tell you, one of you is going to betray me.

00:01:29.739 --> 00:01:33.560
 His disciples stared at one another, at a loss to know which one of them he meant.

00:01:35.060 --> 00:01:39.179
 One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him.

00:01:39.180 --> 00:01:43.440
 Simon Peter motioned to this disciple and said,

00:01:43.980 --> 00:01:45.100
 Ask him which one he means.

00:01:47.340 --> 00:01:49.240
 Leaning back against Jesus, he asked him,

00:01:49.880 --> 00:01:50.920
 Lord, who is it?

00:01:52.880 --> 00:01:53.760
 Jesus answered,

00:01:54.580 --> 00:01:57.040
 It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread

00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:58.740
 when I have dipped it in the dish.

00:01:58.739 --> 00:02:01.799
 Then, dipping the piece of bread,

00:02:02.199 --> 00:02:04.780
 he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

00:02:06.119 --> 00:02:07.679
 As soon as Judas took the bread,

00:02:08.359 --> 00:02:09.400
 Satan entered into him.

00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:12.500
 So Jesus told him,

00:02:12.740 --> 00:02:14.719
 What you are about to do, do quickly.

00:02:16.180 --> 00:02:19.099
 But no one at the meal understood why Jesus said this to him.

00:02:19.859 --> 00:02:21.419
 Since Judas had charge of the money,

00:02:22.219 --> 00:02:25.280
 some thought Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the festival,

00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:27.120
 or to give something to the poor.

00:02:28.900 --> 00:02:30.580
 As soon as Judas had taken the bread,

00:02:30.659 --> 00:02:31.240
 he went out,

00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:32.539
 and it was night.

00:02:35.020 --> 00:02:36.000
 When he was gone,

00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:37.219
 Jesus said,

00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:39.020
 Now the Son of Man is glorified,

00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:40.560
 and God is glorified in him.

00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:43.199
 If God is glorified in him,

00:02:43.699 --> 00:02:46.080
 God will glorify the Son in himself,

00:02:46.659 --> 00:02:48.240
 and will glorify him at once.

00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:52.860
 My children, I will be with you only a little longer.

00:02:54.020 --> 00:02:54.820
 You will look for me,

00:02:55.040 --> 00:02:56.200
 and just as I told the Jews,

00:02:56.300 --> 00:02:57.120
 so I tell you now,

00:02:57.640 --> 00:02:58.360
 where I am going,

00:02:58.439 --> 00:02:59.080
 you cannot come.

00:03:00.920 --> 00:03:02.379
 A new command I give to you,

00:03:03.020 --> 00:03:04.600
 love one another as I have loved you,

00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:06.500
 so you must love one another.

00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:08.540
 By this,

00:03:08.640 --> 00:03:10.840
 everyone will know that you are my disciples,

00:03:11.340 --> 00:03:12.360
 if you love one another.

00:03:14.620 --> 00:03:15.719
 Simon Peter asked him,

00:03:16.219 --> 00:03:17.240
 Lord, where are you going?

00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:20.000
 Jesus replied,

00:03:20.500 --> 00:03:21.260
 Where I am going,

00:03:21.320 --> 00:03:22.360
 you cannot follow now,

00:03:22.920 --> 00:03:24.300
 but you will follow later.

00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:27.719
 Peter asked,

00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:29.800
 Lord, why can't I follow you now?

00:03:30.320 --> 00:03:31.760
 I will lay down my life for you.

00:03:33.640 --> 00:03:34.760
 Then Jesus answered,

00:03:35.340 --> 00:03:36.820
 Will you really lay down your life for me?

00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:39.040
 Very truly, I tell you,

00:03:39.100 --> 00:03:40.460
 before the rooster crows,

00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:42.939
 you will disown me three times.

00:03:44.620 --> 00:03:45.060
 Amen.

00:03:45.060 --> 00:03:50.879
 So I first gave this sermon as part of a series on the Christian identity,

00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:55.020
 and this part was on how Christians are servants.

00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:59.360
 I wonder what comes to mind when you think of the word servant.

00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:04.640
 A couple of my friends are big fans of Downton Abbey,

00:04:05.220 --> 00:04:07.700
 which is all about the lord and lady of the manor,

00:04:07.860 --> 00:04:10.320
 in like the landed gentry,

00:04:10.460 --> 00:04:12.180
 the early 20s or something.

00:04:12.540 --> 00:04:13.340
 I've not seen it myself,

00:04:13.420 --> 00:04:13.920
 you can probably tell.

00:04:15.500 --> 00:04:17.600
 But one of my friends is such a big fan of the show,

00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:20.000
 that it's his dream to become a butler.

00:04:21.860 --> 00:04:23.199
 I don't know how you feel about that.

00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:26.339
 If I got an email from work one day saying,

00:04:26.500 --> 00:04:27.879
 we've had to do some restructuring,

00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:29.560
 and your new role is a butler,

00:04:29.599 --> 00:04:30.680
 I'd be quite disappointed.

00:04:32.379 --> 00:04:33.339
 But in this chapter,

00:04:33.459 --> 00:04:36.120
 Jesus shows us that if we're Christians,

00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:37.800
 we are servants of God,

00:04:38.259 --> 00:04:39.879
 and servants of each other.

00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:43.180
 The Christian is a servant.

00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:46.779
 So this passage in particular,

00:04:46.899 --> 00:04:48.639
 teaches three big things about that.

00:04:49.599 --> 00:04:52.959
 Firstly, we are servants who follow the example of Jesus Christ.

00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:57.860
 Then we are servants who are under the command of Jesus Christ,

00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:02.759
 and we are servants who experience the grace of Jesus Christ.

00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:09.060
 So firstly, we're servants in the example of Jesus Christ.

00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:14.339
 Jesus is the example servant in the Bible.

00:05:14.500 --> 00:05:15.379
 He's the archetype.

00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:16.800
 And if we are Christians,

00:05:17.300 --> 00:05:19.599
 we recognize that even though we serve God,

00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:24.120
 God first served us in the person of Jesus Christ.

00:05:25.320 --> 00:05:26.460
 In his own words,

00:05:27.080 --> 00:05:28.580
 he came not to be served,

00:05:28.900 --> 00:05:29.740
 but to serve,

00:05:30.320 --> 00:05:32.120
 and to give his life as ransom for many.

00:05:34.320 --> 00:05:35.780
 Jesus came to serve us,

00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:37.700
 and thereby give us an example,

00:05:38.260 --> 00:05:39.740
 so that we may serve each other.

00:05:39.740 --> 00:05:43.300
 Read verse 15 with me.

00:05:43.400 --> 00:05:43.720
 It says,

00:05:44.180 --> 00:05:45.680
 after washing his disciples' feet,

00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:46.560
 he says,

00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:47.720
 I've set you an example

00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:50.000
 that you should do as I've done for you.

00:05:51.060 --> 00:05:52.300
 Very truly, I tell you,

00:05:52.379 --> 00:05:54.199
 no servant is greater than his master,

00:05:54.900 --> 00:05:56.120
 nor is a messenger greater

00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:57.780
 than the one who sent him.

00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:00.740
 Jesus says explicitly,

00:06:01.620 --> 00:06:03.540
 I've given you an example.

00:06:03.540 --> 00:06:07.600
 So what servant-like qualities

00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:09.560
 is Jesus exemplifying here?

00:06:11.200 --> 00:06:11.960
 Well, firstly,

00:06:12.080 --> 00:06:14.660
 it's his love for the people he serves.

00:06:17.780 --> 00:06:19.700
 At this point in Jesus' life,

00:06:20.400 --> 00:06:21.720
 he's about to leave the world.

00:06:23.020 --> 00:06:25.740
 He must have had a lot on his mind.

00:06:25.939 --> 00:06:27.060
 He was about to undergo

00:06:27.060 --> 00:06:29.939
 the extreme penalty of crucifixion,

00:06:29.939 --> 00:06:33.000
 and then he would be resurrected

00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:35.139
 and return to heaven.

00:06:36.500 --> 00:06:37.480
 He was about to go through

00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:40.060
 the depths of pain and sadness,

00:06:40.719 --> 00:06:41.540
 and then ascend

00:06:41.540 --> 00:06:44.339
 to the highest joys of heaven.

00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:47.819
 And so in the midst of this,

00:06:48.100 --> 00:06:49.120
 what was he thinking about?

00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:52.279
 Well, verse 1 says

00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:53.480
 that he was thinking about his people.

00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:55.579
 Verse 1 says that,

00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:56.519
 having loved his own

00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:57.279
 who are in the world,

00:06:57.819 --> 00:06:59.420
 he loved them to the end.

00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:02.000
 To the very end of his life,

00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:04.339
 Jesus loved his disciples,

00:07:05.339 --> 00:07:06.540
 and he loved them

00:07:06.540 --> 00:07:07.560
 to the fullest extent.

00:07:08.339 --> 00:07:09.660
 That's another way of understanding

00:07:09.660 --> 00:07:11.339
 that phrase to the end,

00:07:11.459 --> 00:07:12.220
 that he loved them

00:07:12.220 --> 00:07:13.920
 to the uttermost,

00:07:14.420 --> 00:07:15.240
 the fullest extent

00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:16.079
 that you can love someone.

00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:20.379
 And John expresses this love

00:07:20.379 --> 00:07:21.259
 in a particular way.

00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:21.659
 He says,

00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:24.180
 Jesus having loved his own

00:07:24.180 --> 00:07:25.459
 who are in the world,

00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:26.819
 he loved them to the end.

00:07:26.819 --> 00:07:30.079
 He phrases it this way

00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:30.599
 to make clear

00:07:30.599 --> 00:07:31.659
 that he's not only talking

00:07:31.659 --> 00:07:33.319
 about the disciples then,

00:07:34.060 --> 00:07:35.300
 but he's talking about

00:07:35.300 --> 00:07:36.159
 all of his people

00:07:36.159 --> 00:07:37.399
 for all time.

00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:39.639
 If you're a believer today,

00:07:39.719 --> 00:07:40.839
 you can read this passage

00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:42.540
 and know that Jesus

00:07:42.540 --> 00:07:43.519
 was thinking about you

00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:45.779
 and that he loves you

00:07:45.779 --> 00:07:47.100
 to the uttermost too.

00:07:47.100 --> 00:07:52.320
 Some people say,

00:07:52.460 --> 00:07:53.420
 I love you to the moon and back.

00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:55.379
 But if you believe in Jesus

00:07:55.379 --> 00:07:56.140
 and he loves you

00:07:56.140 --> 00:07:57.300
 from the depths of the cross

00:07:57.300 --> 00:07:58.660
 to the heights of heaven,

00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:00.379
 which is much further

00:08:00.379 --> 00:08:01.840
 than the moon.

00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:04.960
 Jesus sets an example

00:08:04.960 --> 00:08:06.280
 of love.

00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:07.600
 His love was patient,

00:08:08.320 --> 00:08:08.840
 selfless,

00:08:09.300 --> 00:08:11.240
 and went to the uttermost

00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:12.500
 through the most extreme

00:08:12.500 --> 00:08:13.300
 circumstances.

00:08:17.740 --> 00:08:18.139
 Secondly,

00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:19.040
 he sets an example

00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:19.740
 of humility.

00:08:22.100 --> 00:08:22.920
 In verse 3,

00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:23.920
 John gives us a look

00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:24.620
 into the mind

00:08:24.620 --> 00:08:25.800
 of Jesus.

00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:26.740
 It says,

00:08:26.860 --> 00:08:27.939
 Jesus knew that the Father

00:08:27.939 --> 00:08:28.780
 had put all things

00:08:28.780 --> 00:08:29.540
 under his power

00:08:29.540 --> 00:08:31.160
 and that he had come

00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:31.780
 from God

00:08:31.780 --> 00:08:32.860
 and was returning

00:08:32.860 --> 00:08:33.480
 to God.

00:08:35.299 --> 00:08:36.320
 So it says that Jesus

00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:37.620
 knows that he's from heaven

00:08:37.620 --> 00:08:38.860
 and that all things

00:08:38.860 --> 00:08:39.460
 are in his hands.

00:08:39.460 --> 00:08:42.080
 he was the Son of God.

00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:45.600
 I was thinking about

00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:47.060
 what I might be like

00:08:47.060 --> 00:08:47.820
 if I knew this

00:08:47.820 --> 00:08:48.440
 about myself.

00:08:48.620 --> 00:08:49.139
 I might get a bit

00:08:49.139 --> 00:08:49.840
 of a power trip

00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:50.820
 from that.

00:08:50.900 --> 00:08:51.440
 Maybe if someone

00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:51.980
 crossed me,

00:08:52.019 --> 00:08:52.360
 I would say,

00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:53.300
 do you have any idea

00:08:53.300 --> 00:08:53.860
 who I am?

00:08:54.940 --> 00:08:55.820
 The Son of God.

00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:00.320
 Jesus,

00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:01.480
 on the other hand,

00:09:01.820 --> 00:09:02.500
 knowing that he's

00:09:02.500 --> 00:09:03.060
 from heaven

00:09:03.060 --> 00:09:04.060
 and that all things

00:09:04.060 --> 00:09:04.820
 were in his hand,

00:09:05.900 --> 00:09:07.139
 serves sinners.

00:09:08.560 --> 00:09:09.400
 He did not consider

00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:10.500
 equality with God

00:09:10.500 --> 00:09:11.899
 something to be grasped

00:09:11.899 --> 00:09:13.360
 for his own selfish gain.

00:09:15.860 --> 00:09:16.299
 Instead,

00:09:16.379 --> 00:09:17.720
 as we read in verse 4,

00:09:18.500 --> 00:09:18.939
 it says,

00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:19.659
 he got up

00:09:19.659 --> 00:09:20.399
 from the meal,

00:09:21.059 --> 00:09:22.179
 took off his outer clothing

00:09:22.179 --> 00:09:23.439
 and wrapped a towel

00:09:23.439 --> 00:09:24.220
 around his waist.

00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:25.779
 After that,

00:09:25.819 --> 00:09:26.480
 he poured water

00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:27.100
 into a basin

00:09:27.100 --> 00:09:28.279
 and began to wash

00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:29.240
 the disciples' feet,

00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:31.159
 drying them with a towel

00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:31.759
 that was wrapped

00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:32.259
 around him.

00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:36.460
 In the ancient

00:09:36.460 --> 00:09:37.240
 Middle East,

00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:38.840
 servants would show

00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:40.100
 themselves to be servants

00:09:40.100 --> 00:09:40.980
 by wearing minimal,

00:09:41.560 --> 00:09:42.399
 simple clothes.

00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:45.259
 And one of the most

00:09:45.259 --> 00:09:46.060
 humiliating duties

00:09:46.060 --> 00:09:46.920
 of a servant

00:09:46.920 --> 00:09:48.139
 that they'd be expected

00:09:48.139 --> 00:09:48.980
 to do was to clean

00:09:48.980 --> 00:09:50.120
 the feet of their masters.

00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:52.740
 So when Jesus

00:09:52.740 --> 00:09:53.379
 takes off his

00:09:53.379 --> 00:09:54.060
 outer garment

00:09:54.060 --> 00:09:55.639
 and puts on the towel,

00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:57.840
 he's dressing up

00:09:57.840 --> 00:09:58.899
 as a servant.

00:10:00.899 --> 00:10:02.120
 Then he takes the role

00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:03.279
 of the servant

00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:03.879
 by washing

00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:05.600
 his disciples' feet.

00:10:09.139 --> 00:10:09.879
 Jesus is not

00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:10.419
 someone who,

00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:11.539
 when slighted,

00:10:11.980 --> 00:10:12.639
 would be thinking,

00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:13.379
 do you have any idea

00:10:13.379 --> 00:10:13.940
 who I am?

00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:15.740
 He's not someone

00:10:15.740 --> 00:10:16.299
 who would say

00:10:16.299 --> 00:10:17.519
 that this person

00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:18.259
 is beneath me

00:10:18.259 --> 00:10:19.700
 or this act of service

00:10:19.700 --> 00:10:20.399
 is beneath me.

00:10:22.139 --> 00:10:22.919
 He was prepared

00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:23.639
 to wrap himself

00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:24.159
 in a towel

00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:25.220
 and wash

00:10:25.220 --> 00:10:26.060
 his disciples' feet.

00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:28.960
 He sets the example

00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:29.519
 of humility

00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:30.860
 by extremes.

00:10:31.460 --> 00:10:32.120
 Though he was

00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:32.879
 the very highest,

00:10:33.220 --> 00:10:34.040
 and is the very highest,

00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:35.540
 he made himself

00:10:35.540 --> 00:10:36.639
 the lowest.

00:10:39.139 --> 00:10:39.879
 Though he is

00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:40.379
 the immortal,

00:10:40.860 --> 00:10:41.639
 invisible God

00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:42.580
 who wraps himself

00:10:42.580 --> 00:10:43.480
 in light

00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:44.139
 and is served

00:10:44.139 --> 00:10:45.100
 by myriads of angels,

00:10:45.220 --> 00:10:45.840
 he humbly

00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:47.120
 washes the feet

00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:47.840
 of those

00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:48.519
 that he loves.

00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:51.539
 So how are we

00:10:51.539 --> 00:10:53.220
 to respond to this?

00:10:54.539 --> 00:10:55.039
 Well, firstly,

00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:56.299
 we're to simply

00:10:56.299 --> 00:10:58.340
 receive Jesus' service

00:10:58.340 --> 00:10:59.679
 with thanksgiving

00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:01.220
 and accept it.

00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:03.019
 And secondly,

00:11:03.100 --> 00:11:03.740
 we must follow

00:11:03.740 --> 00:11:05.059
 his example.

00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:08.720
 If you read

00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:09.559
 verses 6-9

00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:09.860
 with me,

00:11:10.620 --> 00:11:11.100
 it says,

00:11:11.539 --> 00:11:12.659
 He came to Simon Peter

00:11:12.659 --> 00:11:13.899
 who said to him,

00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:14.259
 Lord,

00:11:14.439 --> 00:11:14.879
 are you going

00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:15.600
 to wash my feet?

00:11:16.939 --> 00:11:17.699
 Jesus replied,

00:11:17.700 --> 00:11:18.920
 you do not realize

00:11:18.920 --> 00:11:19.780
 now what I am doing,

00:11:20.300 --> 00:11:21.160
 but later you will

00:11:21.160 --> 00:11:21.560
 understand.

00:11:23.140 --> 00:11:23.580
 No,

00:11:23.740 --> 00:11:24.220
 said Peter,

00:11:24.300 --> 00:11:24.759
 you will never

00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:25.379
 wash my feet.

00:11:26.980 --> 00:11:27.740
 Jesus answered,

00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:28.640
 unless I wash you,

00:11:29.140 --> 00:11:29.940
 you have no part

00:11:29.940 --> 00:11:30.360
 in me.

00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:33.700
 Peter protests

00:11:33.700 --> 00:11:34.580
 at Jesus'

00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:35.540
 act of service.

00:11:36.860 --> 00:11:37.560
 He doesn't feel

00:11:37.560 --> 00:11:37.900
 worthy.

00:11:38.680 --> 00:11:39.280
 He doesn't want

00:11:39.280 --> 00:11:39.759
 to receive

00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:40.720
 Jesus' service.

00:11:41.160 --> 00:11:42.060
 He wants to earn it.

00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:44.700
 But Peter

00:11:44.700 --> 00:11:45.580
 has to accept

00:11:45.580 --> 00:11:46.460
 that it's not

00:11:46.460 --> 00:11:47.440
 about how he feels.

00:11:47.700 --> 00:11:48.640
 If he's going

00:11:48.640 --> 00:11:49.200
 to be clean,

00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:50.240
 Jesus has to do

00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:50.680
 it for him.

00:11:51.640 --> 00:11:52.580
 He can't do it

00:11:52.580 --> 00:11:52.940
 himself.

00:11:57.220 --> 00:11:57.759
 Ultimately,

00:11:57.920 --> 00:11:59.259
 the act of

00:11:59.259 --> 00:12:00.060
 washing of the feet

00:12:00.060 --> 00:12:00.940
 points towards

00:12:00.940 --> 00:12:01.320
 Jesus'

00:12:01.660 --> 00:12:03.160
 death on the cross.

00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:05.560
 His extreme

00:12:05.560 --> 00:12:06.379
 act of service

00:12:06.379 --> 00:12:07.879
 for our forgiveness.

00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:15.720
 we can't save

00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:16.179
 ourselves,

00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:16.980
 and we have to

00:12:16.980 --> 00:12:17.600
 accept that.

00:12:18.100 --> 00:12:18.820
 We have to

00:12:18.820 --> 00:12:19.559
 simply receive

00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:20.220
 with gratitude

00:12:20.220 --> 00:12:21.639
 that Jesus

00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:22.139
 has done

00:12:22.139 --> 00:12:22.939
 the work of

00:12:22.939 --> 00:12:23.379
 saving us

00:12:23.379 --> 00:12:24.000
 on our behalf.

00:12:27.100 --> 00:12:27.759
 Perhaps this is

00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:28.360
 something you

00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:29.500
 personally

00:12:29.500 --> 00:12:30.320
 might struggle

00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:30.600
 with.

00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:31.860
 Maybe life

00:12:31.860 --> 00:12:32.320
 is a bit of a

00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:32.580
 mess,

00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:33.899
 and you feel

00:12:33.899 --> 00:12:34.279
 like Jesus

00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:34.799
 wouldn't help

00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:35.019
 you,

00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:36.039
 and that

00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:36.179
 you're

00:12:36.179 --> 00:12:36.639
 beneath him.

00:12:39.599 --> 00:12:40.000
 Well,

00:12:40.019 --> 00:12:40.500
 we must remember

00:12:40.500 --> 00:12:40.979
 that he was

00:12:40.979 --> 00:12:41.899
 glad to descend

00:12:41.899 --> 00:12:42.459
 from heaven

00:12:42.459 --> 00:12:43.719
 to die for you

00:12:43.719 --> 00:12:44.479
 and forgive

00:12:44.479 --> 00:12:45.059
 your sins.

00:12:46.719 --> 00:12:47.539
 Romans 5 says

00:12:47.539 --> 00:12:48.139
 that while we

00:12:48.139 --> 00:12:48.539
 were still

00:12:48.539 --> 00:12:48.979
 sinners,

00:12:49.479 --> 00:12:49.979
 Christ died

00:12:49.979 --> 00:12:50.379
 for us.

00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:51.379
 If he was

00:12:51.379 --> 00:12:52.299
 willing to

00:12:52.299 --> 00:12:52.819
 die for us

00:12:52.819 --> 00:12:53.120
 while we were

00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:53.439
 still his

00:12:53.439 --> 00:12:53.740
 enemies,

00:12:54.339 --> 00:12:55.059
 how much more

00:12:55.059 --> 00:12:55.479
 will he help

00:12:55.479 --> 00:12:55.959
 us now that

00:12:55.959 --> 00:12:56.240
 we're his

00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:56.579
 friends?

00:12:56.580 --> 00:12:56.700
 Christ.

00:12:59.300 --> 00:13:00.040
 So Jesus

00:13:00.040 --> 00:13:00.379
 is the

00:13:00.379 --> 00:13:00.800
 example

00:13:00.800 --> 00:13:02.060
 servant

00:13:02.060 --> 00:13:02.660
 whose

00:13:02.660 --> 00:13:03.100
 service

00:13:03.100 --> 00:13:04.300
 we first

00:13:04.300 --> 00:13:05.460
 must gratefully

00:13:05.460 --> 00:13:05.900
 accept,

00:13:07.020 --> 00:13:07.320
 and then

00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:07.780
 whose pattern

00:13:07.780 --> 00:13:08.160
 we have to

00:13:08.160 --> 00:13:08.400
 follow.

00:13:11.280 --> 00:13:12.020
 As well as

00:13:12.020 --> 00:13:12.379
 being the

00:13:12.379 --> 00:13:12.960
 servant in

00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:13.340
 this picture,

00:13:13.420 --> 00:13:13.820
 he's also

00:13:13.820 --> 00:13:14.259
 the Lord.

00:13:15.020 --> 00:13:15.400
 He's the

00:13:15.400 --> 00:13:15.620
 one who

00:13:15.620 --> 00:13:16.040
 dishes out

00:13:16.040 --> 00:13:16.600
 the commands

00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:17.500
 to a

00:13:17.500 --> 00:13:17.720
 servant.

00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:19.420
 That's my

00:13:19.420 --> 00:13:19.960
 second point.

00:13:20.780 --> 00:13:21.060
 Christians

00:13:21.060 --> 00:13:21.720
 are servants

00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:22.320
 under the

00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:23.460
 command of

00:13:23.460 --> 00:13:24.160
 Jesus Christ.

00:13:26.580 --> 00:13:27.980
 verse 13

00:13:27.980 --> 00:13:28.340
 says,

00:13:29.220 --> 00:13:30.160
 you call me

00:13:30.160 --> 00:13:31.220
 teacher and

00:13:31.220 --> 00:13:31.480
 Lord,

00:13:31.580 --> 00:13:31.900
 and rightly

00:13:31.900 --> 00:13:32.240
 so,

00:13:32.340 --> 00:13:32.700
 for that is

00:13:32.700 --> 00:13:33.180
 what I am.

00:13:34.800 --> 00:13:35.580
 Jesus is the

00:13:35.580 --> 00:13:36.660
 teacher and

00:13:36.660 --> 00:13:37.139
 Lord of his

00:13:37.139 --> 00:13:37.500
 people.

00:13:39.100 --> 00:13:39.820
 They're right

00:13:39.820 --> 00:13:40.400
 to call him

00:13:40.400 --> 00:13:41.520
 teacher and

00:13:41.520 --> 00:13:41.800
 Lord,

00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:42.879
 because he

00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:43.400
 came from

00:13:43.400 --> 00:13:43.720
 God,

00:13:44.560 --> 00:13:44.879
 and the

00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:45.340
 Father has

00:13:45.340 --> 00:13:46.300
 put everything

00:13:46.300 --> 00:13:46.840
 in the world

00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:47.600
 under the

00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:48.160
 lordship and

00:13:48.160 --> 00:13:48.780
 authority of

00:13:48.780 --> 00:13:49.020
 Jesus.

00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:51.440
 There's

00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:51.820
 nothing in

00:13:51.820 --> 00:13:52.220
 the world

00:13:52.220 --> 00:13:53.060
 that doesn't

00:13:53.060 --> 00:13:53.540
 belong to

00:13:53.540 --> 00:13:53.740
 him,

00:13:54.520 --> 00:13:55.100
 and there's

00:13:55.100 --> 00:13:55.620
 no person

00:13:55.620 --> 00:13:55.900
 in the

00:13:55.900 --> 00:13:56.300
 world who

00:13:56.299 --> 00:13:56.679
 won't

00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:57.620
 ultimately

00:13:57.620 --> 00:13:58.919
 answer to

00:13:58.919 --> 00:13:59.279
 Jesus.

00:14:04.379 --> 00:14:04.919
 In verse

00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:05.379
 14,

00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:06.439
 we get the

00:14:06.439 --> 00:14:07.419
 implication of

00:14:07.419 --> 00:14:08.819
 this in

00:14:08.819 --> 00:14:09.299
 this passage.

00:14:09.379 --> 00:14:09.819
 You call me

00:14:09.819 --> 00:14:10.279
 teacher and

00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:10.500
 Lord,

00:14:10.599 --> 00:14:10.879
 and rightly

00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:11.219
 so,

00:14:11.299 --> 00:14:11.639
 for that is

00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:11.939
 what I

00:14:11.939 --> 00:14:12.139
 am.

00:14:13.179 --> 00:14:13.699
 Now that

00:14:13.699 --> 00:14:14.039
 I,

00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:14.539
 your Lord

00:14:14.539 --> 00:14:14.959
 and teacher,

00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:15.439
 have washed

00:14:15.439 --> 00:14:15.899
 your feet,

00:14:16.459 --> 00:14:17.039
 you also

00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:17.659
 should wash

00:14:17.659 --> 00:14:18.419
 one another's

00:14:18.419 --> 00:14:18.620
 feet.

00:14:19.699 --> 00:14:20.259
 I have

00:14:20.259 --> 00:14:20.579
 set you

00:14:20.579 --> 00:14:21.079
 an example

00:14:21.079 --> 00:14:21.959
 that you

00:14:21.959 --> 00:14:22.339
 should do

00:14:22.339 --> 00:14:22.620
 as I

00:14:22.620 --> 00:14:22.899
 have done

00:14:22.899 --> 00:14:23.339
 for you.

00:14:24.579 --> 00:14:25.019
 Very

00:14:25.019 --> 00:14:25.479
 truly I

00:14:25.479 --> 00:14:25.919
 tell you,

00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:26.819
 no servant

00:14:26.819 --> 00:14:27.279
 is greater

00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:27.639
 than his

00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:28.000
 master,

00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:28.819
 nor is a

00:14:28.819 --> 00:14:29.120
 messenger

00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:30.099
 greater than

00:14:30.099 --> 00:14:30.339
 the one

00:14:30.339 --> 00:14:30.719
 who sent

00:14:30.719 --> 00:14:30.899
 him.

00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:34.120
 So that

00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:34.519
 means if

00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:35.079
 Jesus was

00:14:35.079 --> 00:14:35.399
 humble,

00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:36.659
 making himself

00:14:36.659 --> 00:14:37.259
 the servant

00:14:37.259 --> 00:14:37.759
 of people

00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:38.079
 who didn't

00:14:38.079 --> 00:14:38.539
 deserve him,

00:14:39.059 --> 00:14:39.479
 who couldn't

00:14:39.479 --> 00:14:39.919
 repay the

00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:40.179
 favor,

00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:41.479
 then we

00:14:41.479 --> 00:14:41.860
 must do

00:14:41.860 --> 00:14:42.199
 the same.

00:14:43.539 --> 00:14:43.899
 Otherwise,

00:14:44.099 --> 00:14:44.539
 we're saying

00:14:44.539 --> 00:14:44.819
 with our

00:14:44.819 --> 00:14:45.299
 actions that

00:14:45.299 --> 00:14:45.779
 we're greater

00:14:45.779 --> 00:14:46.299
 than the

00:14:46.299 --> 00:14:47.000
 master when

00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:47.379
 we're not.

00:14:47.379 --> 00:14:47.399
 God.

00:14:52.019 --> 00:14:52.700
 Imagine being

00:14:52.700 --> 00:14:52.879
 in the

00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:53.399
 upper room

00:14:53.399 --> 00:14:54.000
 with the

00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:54.379
 disciples

00:14:54.379 --> 00:14:55.539
 and Jesus

00:14:55.539 --> 00:14:56.120
 that night.

00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:58.139
 Jesus took

00:14:58.139 --> 00:14:58.519
 off his

00:14:58.519 --> 00:14:58.879
 robe,

00:14:59.919 --> 00:15:00.379
 imagine him

00:15:00.379 --> 00:15:01.620
 washing Peter's

00:15:01.620 --> 00:15:01.919
 feet,

00:15:02.659 --> 00:15:03.220
 and John's

00:15:03.220 --> 00:15:03.480
 feet,

00:15:04.019 --> 00:15:04.480
 and James'

00:15:04.659 --> 00:15:04.960
 feet,

00:15:05.460 --> 00:15:06.120
 and Andrew's

00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:06.340
 feet,

00:15:06.500 --> 00:15:07.019
 the disciples,

00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:08.120
 and then he

00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:08.539
 comes around

00:15:08.539 --> 00:15:08.860
 and washes

00:15:08.860 --> 00:15:09.240
 yours.

00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:12.779
 And then he

00:15:12.779 --> 00:15:13.259
 says to you,

00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:13.740
 now you must

00:15:13.740 --> 00:15:14.179
 follow my

00:15:14.179 --> 00:15:14.559
 example,

00:15:15.179 --> 00:15:15.500
 you should

00:15:15.500 --> 00:15:15.899
 wash each

00:15:15.899 --> 00:15:16.379
 other's feet.

00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:18.399
 You wouldn't

00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:18.919
 think of

00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:19.299
 saying,

00:15:19.659 --> 00:15:20.319
 no way,

00:15:20.539 --> 00:15:20.919
 would you?

00:15:21.340 --> 00:15:21.659
 You wouldn't

00:15:21.659 --> 00:15:22.059
 think of

00:15:22.059 --> 00:15:22.240
 saying,

00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:23.139
 washing feet

00:15:23.139 --> 00:15:23.819
 beneath me,

00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:25.059
 it would

00:15:25.059 --> 00:15:25.500
 be crazy.

00:15:27.259 --> 00:15:27.879
 Who would

00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:28.100
 you think

00:15:28.100 --> 00:15:28.439
 you're talking

00:15:28.439 --> 00:15:28.659
 to?

00:15:29.459 --> 00:15:30.139
 All things

00:15:30.139 --> 00:15:30.519
 are in

00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:31.000
 Jesus'

00:15:31.220 --> 00:15:31.539
 hands.

00:15:32.939 --> 00:15:33.379
 He's God

00:15:33.379 --> 00:15:33.620
 in the

00:15:33.620 --> 00:15:33.939
 flesh.

00:15:36.699 --> 00:15:37.539
 But sometimes

00:15:37.539 --> 00:15:38.199
 we do find

00:15:38.199 --> 00:15:38.819
 reasons not

00:15:38.819 --> 00:15:39.319
 to follow

00:15:39.319 --> 00:15:40.059
 Jesus'

00:15:40.259 --> 00:15:40.659
 example.

00:15:41.419 --> 00:15:41.879
 We find

00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:42.439
 reasons not

00:15:42.439 --> 00:15:42.980
 to serve

00:15:42.980 --> 00:15:44.199
 other people.

00:15:45.899 --> 00:15:47.199
 But when we

00:15:47.199 --> 00:15:47.759
 realize that

00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:48.419
 our Lord

00:15:48.419 --> 00:15:49.319
 made himself

00:15:49.319 --> 00:15:49.779
 a servant

00:15:49.779 --> 00:15:50.799
 for his

00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:51.299
 people while

00:15:51.299 --> 00:15:51.480
 they were

00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:52.059
 still sinners,

00:15:52.860 --> 00:15:53.279
 all those

00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:53.720
 reasons and

00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:54.419
 excuses melt

00:15:54.419 --> 00:15:54.699
 away.

00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:56.899
 Because no

00:15:56.899 --> 00:15:57.379
 servant is

00:15:57.379 --> 00:15:58.679
 greater than

00:15:58.679 --> 00:15:59.019
 the master.

00:16:03.340 --> 00:16:04.100
 So in a

00:16:04.100 --> 00:16:04.559
 church family,

00:16:04.699 --> 00:16:05.240
 we're all

00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:05.659
 servants.

00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:06.840
 None of us

00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:07.399
 are the

00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:07.679
 masters.

00:16:09.860 --> 00:16:10.539
 Do we

00:16:10.539 --> 00:16:11.059
 insist on

00:16:11.059 --> 00:16:11.460
 getting our

00:16:11.460 --> 00:16:11.840
 own way

00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:12.699
 rather than

00:16:12.699 --> 00:16:13.199
 seeking the

00:16:13.199 --> 00:16:14.620
 benefit of

00:16:14.620 --> 00:16:14.860
 the other

00:16:14.860 --> 00:16:15.240
 person?

00:16:16.899 --> 00:16:17.500
 Perhaps we

00:16:17.500 --> 00:16:17.779
 have less

00:16:17.779 --> 00:16:18.279
 time for

00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:18.519
 certain

00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:19.459
 people in

00:16:19.459 --> 00:16:19.759
 the church

00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:20.179
 because they

00:16:20.179 --> 00:16:20.600
 rub us up

00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:20.819
 the wrong

00:16:20.819 --> 00:16:21.039
 way.

00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:23.740
 We must

00:16:23.740 --> 00:16:24.199
 follow Jesus'

00:16:24.419 --> 00:16:25.819
 example instead.

00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:29.779
 Thinking a bit

00:16:29.779 --> 00:16:30.240
 beyond the

00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:30.740
 church family,

00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:31.459
 are there

00:16:31.459 --> 00:16:31.980
 people out

00:16:31.980 --> 00:16:32.259
 there in

00:16:32.259 --> 00:16:32.559
 the world

00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:32.840
 that we

00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:33.919
 think are

00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:35.159
 beneath us?

00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:37.459
 Are there

00:16:37.459 --> 00:16:37.919
 people for

00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:38.279
 whom we

00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:39.240
 feel, I

00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:39.620
 don't need

00:16:39.620 --> 00:16:40.120
 to respect

00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:40.740
 this person?

00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:44.100
 Maybe it's

00:16:44.100 --> 00:16:44.539
 because their

00:16:44.539 --> 00:16:45.159
 politics is

00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:45.399
 wrong.

00:16:45.899 --> 00:16:47.360
 Or maybe

00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:47.620
 they're a

00:16:47.620 --> 00:16:48.000
 drain on

00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:48.559
 society.

00:16:51.439 --> 00:16:52.259
 No servant

00:16:52.259 --> 00:16:52.620
 is greater

00:16:52.620 --> 00:16:52.919
 than the

00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:53.179
 master.

00:16:53.980 --> 00:16:54.199
 And if

00:16:54.199 --> 00:16:54.639
 Jesus is

00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:55.019
 willing to

00:16:55.019 --> 00:16:55.319
 welcome

00:16:55.319 --> 00:16:56.319
 sinners and

00:16:56.319 --> 00:16:56.860
 show kindness

00:16:56.860 --> 00:16:57.299
 to them,

00:16:58.179 --> 00:16:58.759
 working to

00:16:58.759 --> 00:16:59.120
 bring them

00:16:59.120 --> 00:16:59.840
 to faith,

00:17:00.299 --> 00:17:00.620
 then we

00:17:00.620 --> 00:17:00.899
 must do

00:17:00.899 --> 00:17:01.220
 the same.

00:17:02.740 --> 00:17:03.100
 Otherwise,

00:17:03.299 --> 00:17:03.639
 we're saying

00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:03.899
 with our

00:17:03.899 --> 00:17:05.059
 actions that

00:17:05.059 --> 00:17:05.519
 we're greater

00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:06.579
 than the

00:17:06.579 --> 00:17:06.839
 master.

00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:06.899
 father.

00:17:11.899 --> 00:17:12.399
 The other

00:17:12.399 --> 00:17:12.679
 thing to

00:17:12.679 --> 00:17:12.919
 see is

00:17:12.919 --> 00:17:13.759
 that Jesus

00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:14.879
 issues his

00:17:14.879 --> 00:17:15.359
 commands

00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:16.419
 through his

00:17:16.419 --> 00:17:16.799
 words.

00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:17.939
 If you

00:17:17.939 --> 00:17:18.500
 read verse

00:17:18.500 --> 00:17:19.039
 20, it

00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:19.259
 says,

00:17:19.819 --> 00:17:20.359
 very truly

00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:20.959
 I tell you,

00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:21.419
 whoever

00:17:21.419 --> 00:17:22.220
 accepts anyone

00:17:22.220 --> 00:17:22.799
 I send

00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:23.599
 accepts me,

00:17:24.139 --> 00:17:24.559
 and whoever

00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:25.480
 accepts me

00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:26.439
 accepts the

00:17:26.439 --> 00:17:26.779
 one who

00:17:26.779 --> 00:17:27.240
 sent me.

00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:30.779
 Jesus there

00:17:30.779 --> 00:17:31.180
 is talking

00:17:31.180 --> 00:17:31.620
 specifically

00:17:31.620 --> 00:17:31.940
 about the

00:17:31.940 --> 00:17:32.299
 disciples.

00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:33.519
 When they

00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:33.960
 go out and

00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:35.079
 evangelize and

00:17:35.079 --> 00:17:35.700
 put scriptures

00:17:35.700 --> 00:17:37.079
 into writing,

00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:38.019
 they teach

00:17:38.019 --> 00:17:38.480
 with Jesus'

00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:39.120
 authority.

00:17:39.819 --> 00:17:40.380
 They speak

00:17:40.380 --> 00:17:40.960
 his words.

00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:43.660
 So when the

00:17:43.660 --> 00:17:44.360
 apostles preached

00:17:44.360 --> 00:17:44.700
 and gave

00:17:44.700 --> 00:17:45.240
 commands to

00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:45.720
 the churches,

00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:47.000
 they did so

00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:47.279
 with the

00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:47.880
 authority of

00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:48.259
 Christ.

00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:50.000
 That's why we

00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:50.360
 have all the

00:17:50.360 --> 00:17:50.900
 other writings

00:17:50.900 --> 00:17:52.019
 in the New

00:17:52.019 --> 00:17:52.340
 Testament.

00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:55.319
 What this

00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:55.900
 entails is that

00:17:55.900 --> 00:17:56.779
 how we respond

00:17:56.779 --> 00:17:57.200
 to Jesus'

00:17:57.420 --> 00:17:57.940
 commands in

00:17:57.940 --> 00:17:58.380
 the Bible

00:17:58.380 --> 00:17:59.980
 displays how

00:17:59.980 --> 00:18:00.480
 we respond

00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:00.860
 to him

00:18:00.860 --> 00:18:01.340
 personally.

00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:04.240
 When we

00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:04.620
 listen to

00:18:04.620 --> 00:18:04.920
 his word,

00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:05.340
 do we do

00:18:05.340 --> 00:18:06.579
 it and

00:18:06.579 --> 00:18:07.059
 accept it

00:18:07.059 --> 00:18:07.200
 with

00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:07.660
 thanksgiving?

00:18:08.460 --> 00:18:09.019
 Or do we

00:18:09.019 --> 00:18:09.519
 try to get

00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:10.019
 around it,

00:18:10.539 --> 00:18:10.779
 find

00:18:10.779 --> 00:18:11.359
 reasons not

00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:11.759
 to obey?

00:18:14.379 --> 00:18:14.980
 Remember that

00:18:14.980 --> 00:18:15.539
 Jesus said,

00:18:15.639 --> 00:18:16.299
 whoever receives

00:18:16.299 --> 00:18:17.039
 the one I

00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:17.720
 send receives

00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:18.000
 me.

00:18:22.740 --> 00:18:23.299
 In this

00:18:23.299 --> 00:18:23.599
 particular

00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:24.079
 chapter,

00:18:24.259 --> 00:18:24.460
 Jesus'

00:18:24.700 --> 00:18:25.339
 commands are

00:18:25.339 --> 00:18:25.839
 about loving

00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:26.279
 each other

00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:27.240
 as a church

00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:27.599
 family.

00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:29.259
 He expresses

00:18:29.259 --> 00:18:29.759
 this in two

00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:29.940
 ways.

00:18:30.019 --> 00:18:30.460
 First in

00:18:30.460 --> 00:18:31.579
 verse 14,

00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:32.639
 it says,

00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:33.279
 now that I,

00:18:33.379 --> 00:18:33.839
 your Lord and

00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:34.139
 teacher,

00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:34.619
 have washed

00:18:34.619 --> 00:18:35.119
 your feet,

00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:35.819
 you should

00:18:35.819 --> 00:18:36.279
 wash one

00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:36.639
 another's

00:18:36.639 --> 00:18:36.879
 feet,

00:18:37.819 --> 00:18:38.319
 one another

00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:39.819
 being your

00:18:39.819 --> 00:18:40.379
 fellow believer.

00:18:40.380 --> 00:18:42.340
 Then he

00:18:42.340 --> 00:18:42.700
 says in

00:18:42.700 --> 00:18:43.360
 verse 34,

00:18:43.820 --> 00:18:44.100
 a new

00:18:44.100 --> 00:18:44.520
 command I

00:18:44.520 --> 00:18:44.880
 give you,

00:18:45.300 --> 00:18:45.660
 love one

00:18:45.660 --> 00:18:45.940
 another.

00:18:46.580 --> 00:18:46.960
 As I

00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:47.320
 have loved

00:18:47.320 --> 00:18:47.580
 you,

00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:48.340
 so you

00:18:48.340 --> 00:18:48.800
 must love

00:18:48.800 --> 00:18:49.560
 one another.

00:18:52.040 --> 00:18:52.780
 I mentioned

00:18:52.780 --> 00:18:53.320
 earlier that

00:18:53.320 --> 00:18:54.720
 Jesus washing

00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:55.260
 his disciples'

00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:55.740
 feet was

00:18:55.740 --> 00:18:56.280
 pointing to

00:18:56.280 --> 00:18:56.660
 how he

00:18:56.660 --> 00:18:57.100
 would deal

00:18:57.100 --> 00:18:57.880
 with their

00:18:57.880 --> 00:18:58.320
 sins on

00:18:58.320 --> 00:18:58.800
 the cross.

00:19:00.320 --> 00:19:00.820
 The washing

00:19:00.820 --> 00:19:01.720
 represented how

00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:02.720
 forgiveness

00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:03.960
 covers over

00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:04.560
 their sins

00:19:04.560 --> 00:19:05.500
 and washes

00:19:05.500 --> 00:19:05.980
 them away.

00:19:05.980 --> 00:19:08.660
 Jesus took

00:19:08.660 --> 00:19:09.200
 the extreme

00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:09.759
 penalty on

00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:10.279
 their behalf

00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:11.339
 so that

00:19:11.339 --> 00:19:11.799
 their sins

00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:12.059
 would not

00:19:12.059 --> 00:19:12.460
 be counted

00:19:12.460 --> 00:19:12.819
 against

00:19:12.819 --> 00:19:13.099
 them.

00:19:17.099 --> 00:19:17.700
 So when

00:19:17.700 --> 00:19:18.279
 Jesus says

00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:19.220
 to wash

00:19:19.220 --> 00:19:19.700
 each other's

00:19:19.700 --> 00:19:19.940
 feet,

00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:21.019
 what does

00:19:21.019 --> 00:19:21.339
 he mean?

00:19:23.339 --> 00:19:23.960
 We're not

00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:24.400
 like Jesus.

00:19:24.500 --> 00:19:24.900
 We can't

00:19:24.900 --> 00:19:25.500
 take away

00:19:25.500 --> 00:19:26.660
 someone's

00:19:26.660 --> 00:19:26.799
 sin,

00:19:26.860 --> 00:19:27.079
 that was

00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:27.480
 his job.

00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:31.140
 But we

00:19:31.140 --> 00:19:31.799
 can say to

00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:32.099
 each other,

00:19:32.180 --> 00:19:32.519
 I forgive

00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:33.720
 you for

00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:34.019
 what you've

00:19:34.019 --> 00:19:34.400
 done against

00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:34.620
 me.

00:19:34.619 --> 00:19:37.159
 To wash

00:19:37.159 --> 00:19:37.619
 each other's

00:19:37.619 --> 00:19:38.059
 feet means

00:19:38.059 --> 00:19:38.419
 that we

00:19:38.419 --> 00:19:39.579
 must forgive

00:19:39.579 --> 00:19:40.019
 each other

00:19:40.019 --> 00:19:40.819
 and be

00:19:40.819 --> 00:19:41.519
 gracious to

00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:41.919
 each other.

00:19:44.479 --> 00:19:45.459
 Listen to

00:19:45.459 --> 00:19:45.839
 a part of

00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:46.259
 Colossians

00:19:46.259 --> 00:19:46.919
 chapter 3.

00:19:47.339 --> 00:19:47.739
 Put on

00:19:47.739 --> 00:19:48.219
 then as

00:19:48.219 --> 00:19:48.519
 God's

00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:49.199
 chosen ones

00:19:49.199 --> 00:19:50.019
 holy and

00:19:50.019 --> 00:19:50.259
 beloved,

00:19:50.479 --> 00:19:50.899
 compassionate

00:19:50.899 --> 00:19:51.399
 hearts,

00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:52.459
 kindness,

00:19:52.779 --> 00:19:53.179
 humility,

00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:53.839
 meekness and

00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:54.279
 patience,

00:19:54.939 --> 00:19:55.359
 bearing with

00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:55.759
 one another.

00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:57.159
 And if

00:19:57.159 --> 00:19:57.579
 one has a

00:19:57.579 --> 00:19:58.239
 complaint against

00:19:58.239 --> 00:19:58.619
 another,

00:19:59.039 --> 00:19:59.559
 forgiving each

00:19:59.559 --> 00:19:59.759
 other.

00:20:00.579 --> 00:20:01.039
 As the

00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:01.379
 Lord has

00:20:01.379 --> 00:20:02.059
 forgiven you,

00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:02.939
 so you

00:20:02.939 --> 00:20:03.699
 also must

00:20:03.699 --> 00:20:04.079
 forgive.

00:20:04.619 --> 00:20:07.579
 church needs

00:20:07.579 --> 00:20:07.859
 to be a

00:20:07.859 --> 00:20:08.319
 family where

00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:09.119
 forgiveness is

00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:09.919
 abundant,

00:20:10.619 --> 00:20:11.279
 where we

00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:11.979
 frequently let

00:20:11.979 --> 00:20:13.119
 go of the

00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:13.459
 things we

00:20:13.459 --> 00:20:13.919
 have against

00:20:13.919 --> 00:20:14.279
 others.

00:20:16.079 --> 00:20:16.699
 We let

00:20:16.699 --> 00:20:17.059
 go of our

00:20:17.059 --> 00:20:17.979
 anger at

00:20:17.979 --> 00:20:18.639
 their failings.

00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:19.859
 We let

00:20:19.859 --> 00:20:20.239
 go of our

00:20:20.239 --> 00:20:21.379
 pride to

00:20:21.379 --> 00:20:21.919
 forgive people

00:20:21.919 --> 00:20:22.099
 who have

00:20:22.099 --> 00:20:22.599
 hurt us.

00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:25.819
 We make a

00:20:25.819 --> 00:20:26.479
 special effort

00:20:26.479 --> 00:20:27.119
 as God's

00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:28.059
 people to

00:20:28.059 --> 00:20:29.500
 forgive people

00:20:29.500 --> 00:20:29.959
 in our church

00:20:29.959 --> 00:20:30.299
 family.

00:20:30.299 --> 00:20:30.359
 family.

00:20:32.740 --> 00:20:33.079
 And we're

00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:33.639
 unable to do

00:20:33.639 --> 00:20:34.139
 this because

00:20:34.139 --> 00:20:34.599
 the Lord

00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:35.299
 himself has

00:20:35.299 --> 00:20:35.960
 forgiven us.

00:20:36.500 --> 00:20:36.819
 That's what

00:20:36.819 --> 00:20:37.539
 Colossians says.

00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:40.000
 Our sins in

00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:40.579
 God's sight have

00:20:40.579 --> 00:20:40.879
 been dealt

00:20:40.879 --> 00:20:41.159
 with.

00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:42.200
 They're gone.

00:20:43.319 --> 00:20:44.240
 So we can

00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:44.720
 share with

00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:45.819
 each other the

00:20:45.819 --> 00:20:46.519
 forgiveness and

00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:47.099
 grace that God

00:20:47.099 --> 00:20:47.700
 has shown us.

00:20:47.700 --> 00:20:55.039
 we saw earlier

00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:55.620
 that Jesus is

00:20:55.620 --> 00:20:56.279
 love for us.

00:20:56.420 --> 00:20:57.000
 His people is

00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:57.900
 committed to the

00:20:57.900 --> 00:20:58.600
 end and full of

00:20:58.600 --> 00:20:59.940
 humility, willing

00:20:59.940 --> 00:21:00.559
 to do the

00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:02.019
 servant's job for

00:21:02.019 --> 00:21:02.720
 the other person.

00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:04.340
 And our love must

00:21:04.340 --> 00:21:04.799
 follow that

00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:05.860
 example, our love

00:21:05.860 --> 00:21:06.360
 for each other.

00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:09.080
 There's a part of

00:21:09.080 --> 00:21:09.500
 the Westminster

00:21:09.500 --> 00:21:10.400
 Confession that we

00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:11.160
 follow as a church

00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:12.200
 that teaches us

00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:12.720
 very clearly.

00:21:13.299 --> 00:21:13.779
 It says,

00:21:13.779 --> 00:21:15.139
 all saints,

00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:16.079
 that's believers

00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:16.720
 or Christians,

00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:18.160
 are united to

00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:18.799
 Jesus Christ,

00:21:18.899 --> 00:21:19.339
 their head,

00:21:19.859 --> 00:21:20.660
 by his spirit

00:21:20.660 --> 00:21:21.420
 and by faith,

00:21:22.379 --> 00:21:23.019
 have fellowship

00:21:23.019 --> 00:21:23.960
 with him in his

00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:24.339
 graces,

00:21:24.980 --> 00:21:25.539
 sufferings,

00:21:25.779 --> 00:21:26.059
 death,

00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:26.839
 resurrection and

00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:27.119
 glory.

00:21:28.399 --> 00:21:29.619
 And being united

00:21:29.619 --> 00:21:30.299
 to one another

00:21:30.299 --> 00:21:30.799
 in love,

00:21:31.460 --> 00:21:32.319
 they have communion

00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:33.279
 with each other

00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:33.819
 in each other's

00:21:33.819 --> 00:21:34.119
 gifts,

00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:36.279
 and are obliged

00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:37.220
 to the performance

00:21:37.220 --> 00:21:38.259
 of such duties,

00:21:38.420 --> 00:21:39.279
 public and private,

00:21:40.139 --> 00:21:41.039
 as do conduce

00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:41.619
 to their mutual

00:21:41.619 --> 00:21:42.000
 good,

00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:43.380
 both in the

00:21:43.380 --> 00:21:44.019
 inward and outward

00:21:44.019 --> 00:21:44.359
 man.

00:21:47.220 --> 00:21:48.079
 In other words,

00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:48.799
 we're united

00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:50.019
 to each other

00:21:50.019 --> 00:21:50.740
 in love,

00:21:51.500 --> 00:21:52.059
 and therefore

00:21:52.059 --> 00:21:53.839
 obliged to serve

00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:54.240
 each other.

00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:56.180
 We're obliged

00:21:56.180 --> 00:21:57.279
 to work for the

00:21:57.279 --> 00:21:58.500
 good of other

00:21:58.500 --> 00:21:59.180
 people in our

00:21:59.180 --> 00:21:59.740
 church family.

00:22:02.180 --> 00:22:03.079
 I was reflecting

00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:03.380
 on this,

00:22:03.460 --> 00:22:03.900
 that obliged

00:22:03.900 --> 00:22:04.579
 is a strong

00:22:04.579 --> 00:22:04.900
 word.

00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:06.079
 It goes further

00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:06.980
 than advised

00:22:06.980 --> 00:22:08.140
 or suggested

00:22:08.140 --> 00:22:09.319
 or recommended.

00:22:10.140 --> 00:22:10.559
 An obligation

00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:11.000
 is something

00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:11.779
 you must do.

00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:16.980
 There's also

00:22:16.980 --> 00:22:17.480
 a few helpful

00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:18.019
 distinctions

00:22:18.019 --> 00:22:18.579
 it makes there.

00:22:18.740 --> 00:22:19.200
 It says that

00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:19.859
 we're to perform

00:22:19.859 --> 00:22:21.039
 public and

00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:21.920
 private duties

00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:23.119
 for each other.

00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:26.019
 Some things

00:22:26.019 --> 00:22:26.539
 we do for each

00:22:26.539 --> 00:22:27.019
 other can be

00:22:27.019 --> 00:22:27.319
 seen,

00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:28.599
 like hospitality,

00:22:29.259 --> 00:22:29.759
 having someone

00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:30.519
 over for a meal.

00:22:31.779 --> 00:22:32.319
 Other things

00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:32.819
 are private.

00:22:33.619 --> 00:22:34.099
 People won't

00:22:34.099 --> 00:22:34.579
 see you

00:22:34.579 --> 00:22:35.160
 praying for them.

00:22:37.660 --> 00:22:38.240
 The other

00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:38.680
 distinction

00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:39.140
 that's made

00:22:39.140 --> 00:22:39.539
 here is

00:22:39.539 --> 00:22:40.900
 looking for

00:22:40.900 --> 00:22:41.220
 the needs

00:22:41.220 --> 00:22:41.480
 of the

00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:41.720
 inward

00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:42.480
 and the

00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:42.759
 outward

00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:43.180
 man.

00:22:45.320 --> 00:22:45.680
 What this

00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:45.980
 is meaning

00:22:45.980 --> 00:22:46.300
 is the

00:22:46.300 --> 00:22:47.000
 inward

00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:47.540
 man

00:22:47.540 --> 00:22:47.840
 is the

00:22:47.840 --> 00:22:48.240
 spiritual

00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:48.980
 aspect

00:22:48.980 --> 00:22:49.580
 of

00:22:49.580 --> 00:22:49.900
 someone's

00:22:49.900 --> 00:22:50.200
 life.

00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:51.720
 And the

00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:51.980
 outward

00:22:51.980 --> 00:22:52.340
 is the

00:22:52.340 --> 00:22:52.759
 practical,

00:22:53.420 --> 00:22:53.980
 physical

00:22:53.980 --> 00:22:55.620
 aspect.

00:22:55.619 --> 00:22:55.739
 aspect.

00:22:58.539 --> 00:22:59.019
 Maybe

00:22:59.019 --> 00:22:59.559
 someone is

00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:00.119
 struggling

00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:00.699
 spiritually

00:23:00.699 --> 00:23:01.119
 and is

00:23:01.119 --> 00:23:01.659
 deflated

00:23:01.659 --> 00:23:02.939
 and discouraged

00:23:02.939 --> 00:23:03.559
 and needs

00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:03.959
 someone to

00:23:03.959 --> 00:23:04.399
 talk to

00:23:04.399 --> 00:23:04.699
 and pray

00:23:04.699 --> 00:23:05.079
 with them.

00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:07.779
 Maybe on a

00:23:07.779 --> 00:23:08.339
 physical level

00:23:08.339 --> 00:23:08.739
 someone is

00:23:08.739 --> 00:23:09.859
 ill and

00:23:09.859 --> 00:23:10.439
 needs help

00:23:10.439 --> 00:23:11.739
 or struggling

00:23:11.739 --> 00:23:12.339
 financially,

00:23:12.599 --> 00:23:13.000
 struggling to

00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:13.279
 keep the

00:23:13.279 --> 00:23:13.799
 heating on

00:23:13.799 --> 00:23:15.419
 or to

00:23:15.419 --> 00:23:15.819
 stop the

00:23:15.819 --> 00:23:16.200
 fridge being

00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:16.500
 empty.

00:23:18.819 --> 00:23:19.539
 If we're to

00:23:19.539 --> 00:23:19.859
 love and

00:23:19.859 --> 00:23:20.299
 serve each

00:23:20.299 --> 00:23:20.980
 other as

00:23:20.980 --> 00:23:21.460
 Christ has

00:23:21.460 --> 00:23:21.940
 commanded us

00:23:21.940 --> 00:23:22.680
 to, we

00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:23.240
 look to

00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:23.680
 the good

00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:24.180
 of both

00:23:24.180 --> 00:23:24.619
 the inward

00:23:24.619 --> 00:23:25.579
 and the

00:23:25.579 --> 00:23:25.819
 outward

00:23:25.819 --> 00:23:26.299
 person.

00:23:30.059 --> 00:23:30.579
 So if

00:23:30.579 --> 00:23:30.899
 we're to

00:23:30.899 --> 00:23:31.279
 fulfill

00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:31.740
 Christ's

00:23:31.740 --> 00:23:32.119
 command to

00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:32.399
 love each

00:23:32.399 --> 00:23:33.440
 other, then

00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:33.700
 we love

00:23:33.700 --> 00:23:34.079
 each other

00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:35.159
 in public

00:23:35.159 --> 00:23:35.879
 and private

00:23:35.879 --> 00:23:37.019
 ways and

00:23:37.019 --> 00:23:37.759
 inward and

00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:38.059
 outward

00:23:38.059 --> 00:23:38.440
 ways.

00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:41.579
 And the

00:23:41.579 --> 00:23:42.099
 wonderful thing

00:23:42.099 --> 00:23:42.639
 is that because

00:23:42.639 --> 00:23:43.159
 we're united

00:23:43.160 --> 00:23:44.440
 to Christ, we're

00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:45.460
 enabled to do

00:23:45.460 --> 00:23:45.860
 this for each

00:23:45.860 --> 00:23:46.060
 other.

00:23:47.340 --> 00:23:48.100
 It's not just

00:23:48.100 --> 00:23:48.740
 left to us.

00:23:51.340 --> 00:23:52.560
 When we're a

00:23:52.560 --> 00:23:53.100
 believer in

00:23:53.100 --> 00:23:53.540
 Jesus, we're

00:23:53.540 --> 00:23:54.740
 united to

00:23:54.740 --> 00:23:55.100
 Jesus.

00:23:55.860 --> 00:23:56.600
 His life is

00:23:56.600 --> 00:23:57.900
 in us and

00:23:57.900 --> 00:23:58.320
 his love

00:23:58.320 --> 00:23:59.480
 overflows in

00:23:59.480 --> 00:23:59.960
 our hearts,

00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:00.940
 reaching the

00:24:00.940 --> 00:24:01.540
 people around

00:24:01.540 --> 00:24:01.900
 us.

00:24:05.860 --> 00:24:06.460
 In verse

00:24:06.460 --> 00:24:07.279
 35, Jesus

00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:08.200
 talks about the

00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:09.180
 outcome of

00:24:09.180 --> 00:24:09.660
 this love for

00:24:09.660 --> 00:24:09.940
 each other.

00:24:10.040 --> 00:24:10.420
 He says,

00:24:11.140 --> 00:24:11.540
 by this,

00:24:11.660 --> 00:24:12.120
 everyone will

00:24:12.120 --> 00:24:12.580
 know that you

00:24:12.580 --> 00:24:12.840
 are my

00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:14.179
 disciples if

00:24:14.179 --> 00:24:14.480
 you love

00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:14.899
 one another.

00:24:17.439 --> 00:24:18.119
 Our love

00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:18.500
 for one

00:24:18.500 --> 00:24:19.240
 another shows

00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:19.799
 the world

00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:20.459
 that the

00:24:20.459 --> 00:24:20.939
 gospel is

00:24:20.939 --> 00:24:21.220
 true.

00:24:23.319 --> 00:24:23.980
 By this,

00:24:24.059 --> 00:24:24.419
 all people

00:24:24.419 --> 00:24:24.799
 know that

00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:25.119
 you're my

00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:25.539
 disciples.

00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:28.039
 How will

00:24:28.039 --> 00:24:28.399
 the people

00:24:28.399 --> 00:24:29.159
 in this

00:24:29.159 --> 00:24:29.579
 area of

00:24:29.579 --> 00:24:29.839
 Edinburgh

00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:30.439
 hear the

00:24:30.439 --> 00:24:30.759
 gospel?

00:24:31.579 --> 00:24:31.819
 They'll

00:24:31.819 --> 00:24:32.139
 hear it

00:24:32.139 --> 00:24:32.439
 from you

00:24:32.439 --> 00:24:33.539
 guys as

00:24:33.539 --> 00:24:33.879
 you tell

00:24:33.879 --> 00:24:34.220
 them about

00:24:34.220 --> 00:24:35.359
 Jesus and

00:24:35.359 --> 00:24:35.740
 invite them

00:24:35.740 --> 00:24:36.259
 to church.

00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:39.159
 And how

00:24:39.159 --> 00:24:39.439
 will the

00:24:39.439 --> 00:24:39.859
 people in

00:24:39.859 --> 00:24:40.299
 this area

00:24:40.299 --> 00:24:40.699
 of Edinburgh

00:24:40.699 --> 00:24:41.659
 know that

00:24:41.660 --> 00:24:42.200
 that gospel

00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:42.640
 you told

00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:42.940
 them is

00:24:42.940 --> 00:24:43.259
 true?

00:24:44.700 --> 00:24:45.220
 Well, it's

00:24:45.220 --> 00:24:45.680
 because they'll

00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:46.160
 see the love

00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:46.600
 of God

00:24:46.600 --> 00:24:47.480
 in your

00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:47.880
 hearts.

00:24:49.140 --> 00:24:49.660
 They will

00:24:49.660 --> 00:24:50.019
 see you

00:24:50.019 --> 00:24:50.440
 living with

00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:51.779
 faith and

00:24:51.779 --> 00:24:52.400
 assurance that

00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:52.980
 Jesus loves

00:24:52.980 --> 00:24:53.420
 you to the

00:24:53.420 --> 00:24:53.900
 uttermost,

00:24:54.700 --> 00:24:55.140
 having given

00:24:55.140 --> 00:24:55.620
 his life for

00:24:55.620 --> 00:24:55.820
 you.

00:24:58.420 --> 00:24:58.920
 And they

00:24:58.920 --> 00:24:59.400
 will see you

00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:00.300
 loving each

00:25:00.300 --> 00:25:01.540
 other, living

00:25:01.540 --> 00:25:01.980
 in the light

00:25:01.980 --> 00:25:02.540
 of the gospel.

00:25:04.279 --> 00:25:04.940
 By this,

00:25:05.040 --> 00:25:05.540
 all people

00:25:05.540 --> 00:25:06.180
 will know that

00:25:06.180 --> 00:25:06.519
 you're my

00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:07.440
 disciples if you

00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:07.940
 have love for

00:25:07.940 --> 00:25:08.279
 one another.

00:25:13.580 --> 00:25:14.120
 Now, what

00:25:14.120 --> 00:25:14.700
 happens if we

00:25:14.700 --> 00:25:15.940
 fail in our

00:25:15.940 --> 00:25:16.480
 service to

00:25:16.480 --> 00:25:17.420
 Jesus, if we

00:25:17.420 --> 00:25:18.680
 fail to

00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:19.100
 follow his

00:25:19.100 --> 00:25:20.299
 commands and

00:25:20.299 --> 00:25:20.900
 fail to love

00:25:20.900 --> 00:25:21.320
 one another

00:25:21.320 --> 00:25:21.740
 properly?

00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:24.380
 The last

00:25:24.380 --> 00:25:24.700
 part of the

00:25:24.700 --> 00:25:25.259
 passage shows

00:25:25.259 --> 00:25:25.580
 that we're

00:25:25.580 --> 00:25:26.120
 servants who

00:25:26.120 --> 00:25:27.220
 experience the

00:25:27.220 --> 00:25:28.100
 grace of

00:25:28.100 --> 00:25:28.759
 Jesus Christ.

00:25:30.620 --> 00:25:31.180
 Servants who

00:25:31.180 --> 00:25:31.620
 experience the

00:25:31.620 --> 00:25:32.000
 grace of

00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:32.559
 Jesus Christ.

00:25:35.799 --> 00:25:36.299
 I don't know

00:25:36.299 --> 00:25:36.700
 how you guys

00:25:36.700 --> 00:25:37.120
 feel about

00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:37.719
 dogs.

00:25:37.979 --> 00:25:39.000
 I love them

00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:39.379
 personally,

00:25:39.839 --> 00:25:40.279
 always had

00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:40.639
 them growing

00:25:40.639 --> 00:25:40.959
 up.

00:25:41.959 --> 00:25:42.419
 And something I

00:25:42.419 --> 00:25:42.979
 noticed is that

00:25:42.979 --> 00:25:43.619
 you can always

00:25:43.619 --> 00:25:43.959
 tell the

00:25:43.959 --> 00:25:45.019
 difference between

00:25:45.019 --> 00:25:45.679
 a well-trained

00:25:45.679 --> 00:25:46.779
 dog and an

00:25:46.779 --> 00:25:47.500
 untrained dog.

00:25:49.719 --> 00:25:50.479
 Well-trained

00:25:50.479 --> 00:25:51.199
 dogs love their

00:25:51.199 --> 00:25:52.379
 owners and are

00:25:52.379 --> 00:25:53.159
 incredibly obedient.

00:25:54.679 --> 00:25:55.559
 When the owner

00:25:55.559 --> 00:25:56.159
 says to the

00:25:56.159 --> 00:25:58.019
 dog, go, he

00:25:58.019 --> 00:25:58.359
 goes.

00:25:59.359 --> 00:25:59.719
 And when he

00:25:59.719 --> 00:26:00.879
 says return, he

00:26:00.879 --> 00:26:02.299
 returns with no

00:26:02.299 --> 00:26:02.779
 hesitation.

00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:04.859
 There's not much

00:26:04.859 --> 00:26:05.479
 thought that goes

00:26:05.479 --> 00:26:06.279
 on in their

00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:06.799
 minds, really.

00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:07.139
 It's quite

00:26:07.139 --> 00:26:07.519
 funny.

00:26:08.059 --> 00:26:08.500
 But wouldn't

00:26:08.500 --> 00:26:09.039
 it be wonderful

00:26:09.039 --> 00:26:09.539
 if we were

00:26:09.539 --> 00:26:10.559
 like that for

00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:10.940
 Christ?

00:26:11.779 --> 00:26:12.539
 If we would

00:26:12.539 --> 00:26:13.319
 understand his

00:26:13.319 --> 00:26:14.039
 commands and

00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:14.799
 just do them?

00:26:18.139 --> 00:26:18.740
 If we

00:26:18.740 --> 00:26:20.039
 realize that, you

00:26:20.039 --> 00:26:20.419
 know, God

00:26:20.419 --> 00:26:21.039
 told me through

00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:21.639
 his word that I

00:26:21.639 --> 00:26:22.180
 need to forgive

00:26:22.180 --> 00:26:23.579
 someone, so I

00:26:23.579 --> 00:26:24.099
 forgave them.

00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:25.379
 No hesitation.

00:26:27.819 --> 00:26:28.579
 Jesus told me

00:26:28.579 --> 00:26:29.619
 to, through his

00:26:29.619 --> 00:26:30.180
 word, to stop

00:26:30.180 --> 00:26:31.139
 getting drunk, and

00:26:31.139 --> 00:26:31.539
 so I did.

00:26:31.539 --> 00:26:34.460
 Jesus told me to

00:26:34.460 --> 00:26:36.019
 put off anger and

00:26:36.019 --> 00:26:37.220
 malice and sexual

00:26:37.220 --> 00:26:39.000
 morality, and so I

00:26:39.000 --> 00:26:39.299
 have.

00:26:40.299 --> 00:26:40.700
 Wouldn't it be

00:26:40.700 --> 00:26:41.279
 wonderful if we

00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:41.659
 were like that?

00:26:44.940 --> 00:26:45.740
 I was convicted

00:26:45.740 --> 00:26:46.559
 writing this that I

00:26:46.559 --> 00:26:47.799
 don't live up to that

00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:48.420
 standard, and maybe

00:26:48.420 --> 00:26:49.039
 you're feeling that

00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:49.299
 too.

00:26:50.659 --> 00:26:51.379
 But there's good

00:26:51.379 --> 00:26:52.379
 news for servants of

00:26:52.379 --> 00:26:53.039
 God who fail.

00:26:54.799 --> 00:26:56.059
 We're servants who

00:26:56.059 --> 00:26:56.940
 experience the grace

00:26:56.940 --> 00:26:58.240
 of Jesus who

00:26:58.240 --> 00:26:58.940
 covers over our

00:26:58.940 --> 00:26:59.240
 sins.

00:27:02.019 --> 00:27:02.880
 In this part of

00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:03.600
 John, there's two

00:27:03.600 --> 00:27:05.140
 disciples who fail

00:27:05.140 --> 00:27:06.400
 him that Jesus

00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:07.080
 talks to in this

00:27:07.080 --> 00:27:07.380
 chapter.

00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:09.480
 There's Judas and

00:27:09.480 --> 00:27:09.820
 Peter.

00:27:12.080 --> 00:27:12.799
 We see in Judas

00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:14.120
 that doubling down

00:27:14.120 --> 00:27:15.980
 on sin leads to

00:27:15.980 --> 00:27:16.299
 death.

00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:19.799
 I wonder if you've

00:27:19.799 --> 00:27:20.600
 ever come to the

00:27:20.600 --> 00:27:21.740
 realization that

00:27:21.740 --> 00:27:22.779
 there's some area in

00:27:22.779 --> 00:27:23.840
 your life where

00:27:23.840 --> 00:27:24.259
 you're sinning

00:27:24.259 --> 00:27:24.860
 against God.

00:27:24.859 --> 00:27:27.199
 Maybe it's your

00:27:27.199 --> 00:27:28.639
 attitude or bad

00:27:28.639 --> 00:27:29.019
 habit.

00:27:33.099 --> 00:27:34.000
 I think in those

00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:35.119
 situations we have a

00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:36.439
 choice between

00:27:36.439 --> 00:27:37.240
 doubling down,

00:27:37.919 --> 00:27:38.619
 pretending it's not

00:27:38.619 --> 00:27:40.039
 true, covering it

00:27:40.039 --> 00:27:42.679
 up, or owning up

00:27:42.679 --> 00:27:44.579
 to it, confessing it

00:27:44.579 --> 00:27:46.279
 to God, asking for

00:27:46.279 --> 00:27:47.019
 his forgiveness and

00:27:47.019 --> 00:27:48.000
 striving to change.

00:27:50.759 --> 00:27:51.819
 The story of Judas

00:27:51.819 --> 00:27:52.779
 warns us against the

00:27:52.779 --> 00:27:54.399
 first option, against

00:27:54.400 --> 00:27:55.060
 doubling down.

00:27:58.340 --> 00:27:59.180
 The Gospel of John

00:27:59.180 --> 00:27:59.840
 makes clear that

00:27:59.840 --> 00:28:00.700
 Judas had a problem

00:28:00.700 --> 00:28:01.160
 with money.

00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:03.620
 In the chapter

00:28:03.620 --> 00:28:04.380
 before, there's an

00:28:04.380 --> 00:28:05.180
 incident where someone

00:28:05.180 --> 00:28:06.660
 anoints Jesus with

00:28:06.660 --> 00:28:07.860
 expensive perfume and

00:28:07.860 --> 00:28:09.480
 it says, but Judas

00:28:09.480 --> 00:28:10.380
 Iscariot, one of the

00:28:10.380 --> 00:28:11.800
 disciples, he who was

00:28:11.800 --> 00:28:12.500
 about to betray him,

00:28:13.740 --> 00:28:14.740
 said, why was this

00:28:14.740 --> 00:28:15.759
 ointment not sold for

00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:17.320
 three hundred denarii and

00:28:17.320 --> 00:28:18.080
 given to the poor?

00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:21.819
 And John helpfully tells

00:28:21.819 --> 00:28:22.839
 us that he said this

00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:23.899
 not because he cared

00:28:23.899 --> 00:28:25.099
 about the poor, but

00:28:25.099 --> 00:28:25.699
 because he was a

00:28:25.699 --> 00:28:26.000
 thief.

00:28:26.659 --> 00:28:27.559
 And having charge of

00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:28.480
 the money bag, he

00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:29.480
 used to help himself

00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:30.759
 to what was put in

00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:30.960
 it.

00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:35.460
 Judas loved money,

00:28:36.460 --> 00:28:39.439
 and despite hearing

00:28:39.439 --> 00:28:40.839
 Jesus' preaching and

00:28:40.839 --> 00:28:42.519
 Jesus' teaching, he

00:28:42.519 --> 00:28:43.279
 couldn't give it up.

00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:47.839
 He must have heard all

00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:48.799
 the things Jesus said

00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:52.160
 about money, but Judas

00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:53.160
 doubled down and

00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:55.440
 hardened his heart, and

00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:56.180
 in the end he fell

00:28:56.180 --> 00:28:56.839
 away and betrayed

00:28:56.839 --> 00:28:58.740
 Jesus because of his

00:28:58.740 --> 00:28:59.240
 love for money.

00:29:02.819 --> 00:29:03.799
 When we're confronted

00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:06.279
 with our own sin, when

00:29:06.899 --> 00:29:07.700
 we realize that we're

00:29:07.700 --> 00:29:08.579
 being disobedient to

00:29:08.579 --> 00:29:09.500
 Christ, we mustn't

00:29:09.500 --> 00:29:10.379
 double down.

00:29:10.380 --> 00:29:13.000
 It can be tempting to

00:29:13.000 --> 00:29:14.040
 pretend something's not

00:29:14.040 --> 00:29:16.600
 a problem, but we

00:29:16.600 --> 00:29:17.280
 must not do that.

00:29:18.100 --> 00:29:19.000
 It can be tempting to

00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:20.880
 keep it a secret, hoping

00:29:20.880 --> 00:29:24.260
 it will go away, but it

00:29:24.260 --> 00:29:24.740
 won't help.

00:29:26.340 --> 00:29:28.380
 It's best to talk to an

00:29:28.380 --> 00:29:29.300
 elder or your minister,

00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:31.800
 or get someone who's

00:29:31.800 --> 00:29:33.180
 maturing Christianity to

00:29:33.180 --> 00:29:34.320
 help you deal with that

00:29:34.320 --> 00:29:34.940
 sin in your life.

00:29:37.600 --> 00:29:38.440
 But let Judas be a

00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:39.240
 reminder not to double

00:29:39.240 --> 00:29:39.500
 down.

00:29:39.500 --> 00:29:40.759
 He couldn't give up

00:29:40.759 --> 00:29:42.359
 his love for money, no

00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:43.059
 matter what Jesus

00:29:43.059 --> 00:29:43.400
 said.

00:29:46.579 --> 00:29:47.599
 I mentioned earlier

00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:48.420
 that in a church family,

00:29:48.539 --> 00:29:49.319
 forgiveness must be

00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:49.660
 abundant.

00:29:50.779 --> 00:29:52.200
 This shows us so much

00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:52.700
 repentance.

00:29:54.140 --> 00:29:55.000
 When we sin against

00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:56.759
 others, our instinct must

00:29:56.759 --> 00:29:57.680
 be to repent and

00:29:57.680 --> 00:29:58.079
 reconcile.

00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:00.420
 When we are sinned

00:30:00.420 --> 00:30:01.819
 against, our instinct

00:30:01.819 --> 00:30:03.180
 has to be to forgive

00:30:03.180 --> 00:30:04.519
 and to seek

00:30:04.519 --> 00:30:05.039
 reconciliation.

00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:11.799
 We see in Judas that

00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:12.799
 doubling down leads to

00:30:12.799 --> 00:30:13.259
 death.

00:30:14.139 --> 00:30:14.879
 We can see through

00:30:14.879 --> 00:30:15.799
 Peter that repentance

00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:16.659
 leads to life.

00:30:18.819 --> 00:30:19.759
 Peter also failed

00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:20.299
 Jesus.

00:30:21.579 --> 00:30:22.779
 He denied knowing

00:30:22.779 --> 00:30:23.839
 Jesus three times.

00:30:25.220 --> 00:30:25.980
 But the difference

00:30:25.980 --> 00:30:26.700
 between Peter and

00:30:26.700 --> 00:30:27.720
 Judas was that Peter was

00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:28.180
 repentant.

00:30:28.180 --> 00:30:32.460
 Jesus knew the difference

00:30:32.460 --> 00:30:33.220
 between the heart of

00:30:33.220 --> 00:30:34.539
 Peter and the heart of

00:30:34.539 --> 00:30:34.880
 Judas.

00:30:36.080 --> 00:30:37.120
 Judas didn't really love

00:30:37.120 --> 00:30:37.519
 Jesus.

00:30:38.120 --> 00:30:38.779
 He loved money.

00:30:41.299 --> 00:30:42.440
 Peter sinned, but he

00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:42.940
 loved Jesus.

00:30:44.620 --> 00:30:46.279
 When he realized he

00:30:46.279 --> 00:30:48.240
 denied him, he wept and

00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:49.220
 had deep remorse.

00:30:50.220 --> 00:30:51.220
 And when Jesus rose

00:30:51.220 --> 00:30:52.600
 again, Peter ran to see

00:30:52.600 --> 00:30:52.779
 him.

00:30:53.500 --> 00:30:54.460
 He didn't double down.

00:30:54.460 --> 00:30:56.519
 He ran back to God.

00:31:00.579 --> 00:31:02.079
 And so Jesus issues him

00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:03.980
 a great assurance.

00:31:05.299 --> 00:31:06.500
 Verse 36, it says,

00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:08.000
 Simon Peter said to

00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:09.340
 him, Lord, where are you

00:31:09.340 --> 00:31:09.579
 going?

00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:11.840
 Jesus answered him,

00:31:12.279 --> 00:31:13.120
 where I'm going, you

00:31:13.120 --> 00:31:14.079
 cannot follow me now,

00:31:14.759 --> 00:31:15.559
 but you will follow

00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:15.900
 later.

00:31:17.860 --> 00:31:18.559
 You might remember at

00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:19.360
 the start of the passage

00:31:19.360 --> 00:31:20.980
 that Jesus knew he was

00:31:20.980 --> 00:31:21.840
 going to the Father.

00:31:24.460 --> 00:31:25.380
 So in this verse, Jesus

00:31:25.380 --> 00:31:26.980
 is telling Peter, you

00:31:26.980 --> 00:31:28.220
 can't come to the Father

00:31:28.220 --> 00:31:30.059
 with me now, but you

00:31:30.059 --> 00:31:30.680
 will go after.

00:31:34.340 --> 00:31:35.559
 And that's a promise to

00:31:35.559 --> 00:31:37.740
 anyone who follows

00:31:37.740 --> 00:31:38.579
 Jesus.

00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:41.299
 There's a song that says

00:31:41.299 --> 00:31:42.160
 our sins are many, but

00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:43.420
 his mercy is more.

00:31:44.100 --> 00:31:45.200
 And his mercy will bring

00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:47.000
 you to heaven to be with

00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:47.180
 him.

00:31:49.100 --> 00:31:50.200
 If you're a servant of

00:31:50.200 --> 00:31:52.039
 Jesus who's failed and

00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:53.440
 sinned, it's not the end.

00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:55.960
 Simply ask him to forgive

00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:56.700
 you and he will.

00:31:58.160 --> 00:31:59.120
 Strive to put the sin

00:31:59.120 --> 00:32:00.940
 away forever and he will

00:32:00.940 --> 00:32:02.820
 help you and you will

00:32:02.820 --> 00:32:03.539
 follow him to heaven.

00:32:07.380 --> 00:32:08.660
 So to be a Christian who's

00:32:08.660 --> 00:32:10.500
 a servant, we're to be

00:32:10.500 --> 00:32:11.440
 servants in the example

00:32:11.440 --> 00:32:12.460
 of Christ.

00:32:13.140 --> 00:32:14.660
 He's shown us true love

00:32:14.660 --> 00:32:16.220
 and humility, ultimately

00:32:16.220 --> 00:32:17.120
 by serving us on the

00:32:17.120 --> 00:32:17.420
 cross.

00:32:18.640 --> 00:32:19.580
 And so we accept his

00:32:19.580 --> 00:32:20.620
 service with thanksgiving

00:32:20.620 --> 00:32:22.279
 and strive to follow his

00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:22.680
 example.

00:32:24.779 --> 00:32:25.700
 Christians are servants

00:32:25.700 --> 00:32:27.240
 under the command of

00:32:27.240 --> 00:32:27.619
 Christ.

00:32:27.980 --> 00:32:28.740
 He's our Lord and

00:32:28.740 --> 00:32:29.039
 teacher.

00:32:29.639 --> 00:32:30.460
 We belong to him.

00:32:31.180 --> 00:32:32.259
 We follow what he says

00:32:32.259 --> 00:32:33.119
 through his apostles and

00:32:33.119 --> 00:32:33.460
 scriptures.

00:32:34.299 --> 00:32:35.359
 And we show the whole

00:32:35.359 --> 00:32:36.440
 world that the gospel is

00:32:36.440 --> 00:32:38.359
 true through our love for

00:32:38.359 --> 00:32:38.799
 one another.

00:32:41.740 --> 00:32:42.799
 And we're servants who

00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:43.980
 experience the grace of

00:32:43.980 --> 00:32:45.879
 Jesus Christ when we fail

00:32:45.879 --> 00:32:46.619
 and when we sin.

00:32:46.619 --> 00:32:51.119
 He has mercy on us so we

00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:53.299
 must not double down and

00:32:53.299 --> 00:32:54.000
 hold on to it.

00:32:54.459 --> 00:32:56.379
 We have to give up our

00:32:56.379 --> 00:32:56.579
 sin.

00:32:56.719 --> 00:32:58.879
 We must repent with the

00:32:58.879 --> 00:33:00.079
 assurance that Jesus will

00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:02.039
 bring his people to eternal

00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:02.899
 life with him in heaven.

00:33:03.600 --> 00:33:04.560
 who has mercy on him so

00:33:04.560 --> 00:33:06.380
 who has mercy on him so

00:33:06.380 --> 00:33:07.100
 who has mercy on him so

00:33:07.100 --> 00:33:07.100


00:33:07.100 --> 00:33:07.880
 who has mercy on him so

00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:09.280
 who has mercy on him so

00:33:09.280 --> 00:33:10.400
 who has mercy on him so

00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:10.400


00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:10.400


00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:10.400


00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:11.180
 who has mercy on him so

00:33:11.180 --> 00:33:12.340
 who has mercy on him so

00:33:12.340 --> 00:33:13.259
 who has mercy on him so

00:33:13.259 --> 00:33:13.720
 who has mercy on him so

00:33:13.720 --> 00:33:14.100
 who has mercy on him so

00:33:14.100 --> 00:33:15.019
 who has mercy on him so

00:33:15.019 --> 00:33:15.759
 who has mercy on him so

00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:17.500
 who has mercy on him so

00:33:17.500 --> 00:33:18.320
 who has mercy on him so

00:33:18.320 --> 00:33:19.759
 who has mercy on him so

00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:19.759


00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:22.280
 who has mercy on him so

00:33:22.280 --> 00:33:22.280


00:33:22.280 --> 00:33:23.519
 who has mercy on him so

00:33:23.519 --> 00:33:24.380
 who has mercy on him so

00:33:24.380 --> 00:33:26.280
 who has mercy on him so

00:33:26.280 --> 00:33:26.280


00:33:26.280 --> 00:33:27.360
 who has mercy on him so

00:33:27.360 --> 00:33:27.360
