WEBVTT

00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.679
 Father, we ask that you help us to be a people who lifts Jesus high,

00:00:08.300 --> 00:00:14.000
 that, Father, that we're prepared to be people who go to bless and ascend.

00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:20.679
 And not, Father, to be self-centered, but to be a people who lift Jesus high

00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:23.519
 and go into our city, go to the ends of the earth,

00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:27.480
 to tell people about Jesus, to make a difference for you.

00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:30.140
 Father, now we gather around your word,

00:00:30.460 --> 00:00:35.759
 and we ask that your Holy Spirit would move mightily in our hearts, Father,

00:00:36.500 --> 00:00:40.460
 because there's much darkness in our minds and in our emotions and our will.

00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:45.579
 There's much darkness, Father, and we get accustomed to the darkness.

00:00:45.780 --> 00:00:54.460
 So, Father, shine the light of the glory of the gospel of Jesus deep into our hearts

00:00:54.460 --> 00:00:59.539
 as we read your word, so that we will be disciples of Jesus

00:00:59.539 --> 00:01:04.200
 who are living for your glory in our day-to-day lives.

00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:06.980
 And this we ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:08.280
 Please be seated.

00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:14.560
 So, I'm a first-generation Canadian.

00:01:17.019 --> 00:01:19.460
 So, I grew up in an immigrant family.

00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:23.879
 My folks were immigrants from Northern Ireland,

00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:26.219
 and they immigrated to Montreal.

00:01:27.939 --> 00:01:30.579
 In fact, if it had been a simple twist of fate,

00:01:30.659 --> 00:01:32.520
 I wouldn't be speaking to you this morning.

00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:37.340
 When my parents got married, they were working-class kids.

00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:39.500
 They wanted to leave Northern Ireland.

00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:41.579
 They wanted to go to where there was more opportunity,

00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:44.099
 especially for working-class kids.

00:01:44.179 --> 00:01:45.859
 They both only had a grade-8 education.

00:01:46.659 --> 00:01:49.819
 And when it came time to start to prepare to immigrate,

00:01:49.899 --> 00:01:52.500
 they couldn't decide between Australia and Canada.

00:01:52.500 --> 00:01:58.319
 But, like many immigrants, they knew one person in Canada

00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:00.000
 and nobody in Australia.

00:02:00.939 --> 00:02:03.460
 And that one person they knew was in Montreal,

00:02:03.939 --> 00:02:08.219
 so they came to Canada because there was a man there named Joseph McCartney

00:02:08.219 --> 00:02:10.020
 who ended up becoming my Uncle Joe

00:02:10.020 --> 00:02:15.039
 because he ended up marrying my mother's sister.

00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:16.500
 Anyway, so we come.

00:02:16.620 --> 00:02:18.939
 There's a group of other Irish immigrants.

00:02:18.939 --> 00:02:23.879
 My parents, eventually, my mom's siblings also moved.

00:02:23.979 --> 00:02:25.780
 And one of the things we did, they didn't have much money,

00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:29.759
 so when it was holiday time, we'd go camping together,

00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:31.620
 three, four, five, six families.

00:02:32.419 --> 00:02:35.520
 And, you know, the kids would play throughout the day,

00:02:35.699 --> 00:02:38.159
 and then they'd all go into the different tents and sleep.

00:02:38.819 --> 00:02:42.900
 And at night, the adults would all gather around the campfire,

00:02:43.020 --> 00:02:45.680
 you know, whatever, 10, 12 people, the different couples.

00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:48.180
 And as I got a little bit older,

00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:52.760
 I discovered what it was that the adults all did around the campfire.

00:02:52.860 --> 00:02:54.740
 They didn't hold hands and sing Kumbaya.

00:02:56.040 --> 00:02:57.159
 They argued.

00:02:58.300 --> 00:02:59.980
 Boy, did they argue.

00:03:01.219 --> 00:03:05.500
 One of them, at least one of them, was a Roman Catholic.

00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:09.280
 The rest were Protestants from Northern Ireland.

00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:10.819
 They argued.

00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:13.300
 They didn't just argue about Northern Ireland.

00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:15.080
 They argued about labor unions.

00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:23.840
 They argued about, you just name it, politics, culture, shopping, clothing, everything.

00:03:24.380 --> 00:03:25.520
 They argued.

00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:27.840
 And every once in a while, I discovered,

00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:30.980
 the people, their voices would get pretty loud,

00:03:31.180 --> 00:03:33.360
 and somebody would go, shh, the kids are sleeping.

00:03:34.040 --> 00:03:36.500
 So then they would continue their argument like this.

00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:38.920
 You're really bleep, bleep, bleep, stupid.

00:03:39.300 --> 00:03:40.200
 And on it would go.

00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:41.320
 And that's what they did.

00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:52.560
 So I mention this because what we see today is we see a story about Jesus walking into an 800-year-old argument

00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:57.060
 that had often been violent on both sides.

00:03:57.060 --> 00:03:59.740
 That's sort of the backstop to this story.

00:03:59.819 --> 00:04:01.620
 It's a very common human problem.

00:04:02.379 --> 00:04:06.099
 Those of you who are more leftist inclined, you might remember the USSR.

00:04:06.099 --> 00:04:08.780
 They hunted Trotsky down to kill him.

00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:09.879
 I think it was in Mexico.

00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:18.180
 Because certain types of communists would fight the Maoists, would fight the Trotskyites, Irish and Protestants.

00:04:18.379 --> 00:04:23.459
 Sunnis and Shias have been killing each other for over 1,300 years.

00:04:23.459 --> 00:04:28.439
 Trump and Clinton, red and blue states.

00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:34.899
 In fact, Rachel Harder, who was here this morning in between,

00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:40.439
 her simply getting put on a committee of the status of woman on earth,

00:04:40.579 --> 00:04:43.399
 a lot of violent conversation.

00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.379
 It's a common human problem throughout the ages.

00:04:47.539 --> 00:04:49.899
 And Jesus walks right into the middle of it.

00:04:49.899 --> 00:04:56.000
 For 800 years, the Samaritans and the Jews had been in argument sometime

00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.579
 and taking up arms against each other as well.

00:04:58.779 --> 00:05:03.679
 So if you take your Bible, it'd be great if you turn to John chapter 4

00:05:03.679 --> 00:05:07.939
 and let's see what happens when Jesus walks into an 800-year-old argument.

00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:13.719
 And it says John chapter 4, and we'll begin reading at the first verse.

00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:21.080
 Now, when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John,

00:05:21.640 --> 00:05:25.340
 and just sort of, oh, sorry, although, that's John the Baptist,

00:05:25.540 --> 00:05:28.500
 although Jesus himself did not baptize but only his disciples,

00:05:29.300 --> 00:05:32.460
 Jesus left Judea and departed again for Galilee.

00:05:33.300 --> 00:05:34.680
 And just sort of pause here.

00:05:35.320 --> 00:05:39.500
 The Pharisees were the biggest sort of denomination of Jewish people at the time.

00:05:39.500 --> 00:05:43.180
 We would call them religious fundamentalists.

00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:48.019
 And they were the biggest sort of most powerful grouping,

00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:51.459
 them and the sort of the Sadducees.

00:05:51.620 --> 00:05:52.620
 They had a lot of the power.

00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:55.879
 And Jesus was no fool.

00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:58.939
 And as you know, if you go and read to the story to the end,

00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.279
 Jesus had a well-founded suspicion

00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:06.459
 that the religious and social and cultural and intellectual and political authorities

00:06:06.459 --> 00:06:09.420
 were not looking favorably upon him.

00:06:10.500 --> 00:06:16.199
 And so he becomes aware of the fact that the governing groups were starting to become aware of him

00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:17.459
 and his growing popularity.

00:06:18.579 --> 00:06:21.779
 And so he becomes a semi-fugitive.

00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:25.160
 He decides that he's going to lead.

00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:27.420
 You know, it's really, really interesting.

00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:28.420
 You know, if you think about this,

00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:33.240
 just compare this to a lot of other religious founders and types of figures,

00:06:33.860 --> 00:06:36.540
 is that Jesus becomes a semi-fugitive.

00:06:36.540 --> 00:06:38.920
 All his life, Jesus is powerless.

00:06:39.500 --> 00:06:43.180
 All his life, Jesus is powerless.

00:06:45.100 --> 00:06:48.019
 And it's not because he doesn't have a type of power that he could use.

00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:51.060
 You know, this isn't a miracle story this week, but he can do miracles.

00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:51.699
 But he's powerless.

00:06:51.819 --> 00:06:53.019
 So he's a semi-fugitive.

00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:54.959
 He's going to leave.

00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:58.759
 And that's what sort of launches this story.

00:06:58.759 --> 00:06:59.519
 Verse 4.

00:07:00.620 --> 00:07:05.439
 And he, that's Jesus, had to pass through Samaria.

00:07:05.739 --> 00:07:07.039
 Now just sort of pause here.

00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:09.600
 I didn't know this until I did the research.

00:07:10.260 --> 00:07:15.100
 But the word had is a very interesting word in the original language.

00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:22.000
 What it's really saying, it's a significant word because it's a word in the original language

00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:26.960
 which is only used when God makes it a necessity for something to happen.

00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:36.739
 So what we see here is that God has laid it upon Jesus' heart that he has to go right into Samaria.

00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:38.399
 And like, isn't that very interesting?

00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:44.419
 What's interesting is that the way that God is being introduced here by Jesus,

00:07:44.599 --> 00:07:48.799
 because ultimately this is all, Jesus would have been the one who tells the disciples about this.

00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:50.679
 They're the ones who come to understand it,

00:07:51.239 --> 00:07:56.539
 is that God is sending Jesus into this 800-year-old argument.

00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:58.279
 Not away from it, but into it.

00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:02.479
 And this is also just really significant, I didn't organize this,

00:08:02.479 --> 00:08:06.699
 but after the sermon, we're going to have Jess Cantillon make a bit of a presentation

00:08:06.699 --> 00:08:14.420
 about how we believe that he has to go to Jerusalem to plant a church.

00:08:15.479 --> 00:08:19.819
 We as a congregation, we're considering whether we should be starting another congregation in Kanata.

00:08:19.939 --> 00:08:23.439
 We believe that it's God that we have to do it.

00:08:23.919 --> 00:08:25.000
 We're discerning it, by the way.

00:08:27.259 --> 00:08:30.159
 We're discerning this because we're not Jesus.

00:08:30.659 --> 00:08:33.039
 So you take steps of faith to discern it.

00:08:33.139 --> 00:08:35.360
 But God sometimes says, you've got to do this.

00:08:35.700 --> 00:08:36.580
 You've got to do this.

00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:37.980
 And that's what's going on.

00:08:38.340 --> 00:08:41.379
 Jesus has to go into Samaria.

00:08:42.660 --> 00:08:44.180
 And so let's continue reading.

00:08:44.220 --> 00:08:45.160
 Verse 5 and 6.

00:08:45.920 --> 00:08:49.600
 So Jesus comes to a town of Samaria called Sychar,

00:08:50.580 --> 00:08:55.520
 near the field that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

00:08:56.980 --> 00:08:58.140
 Jacob's well was there.

00:08:58.140 --> 00:09:02.920
 So Jesus, wearied as he was from his journey, was sitting beside the well.

00:09:03.460 --> 00:09:04.480
 It was about noon.

00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:05.720
 Just pause here.

00:09:05.800 --> 00:09:06.960
 One more little pause.

00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:12.560
 One of the problems, there's a lot of nonsense that goes out in the world.

00:09:12.800 --> 00:09:15.060
 I mean, there's all sorts of problems with the Christian faith.

00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:17.519
 You know, we get that.

00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:25.379
 In fact, you know, I was just thinking this week, Christians know the problems in the Christian faith better than non-Christians know the problem in the Christian faith.

00:09:25.379 --> 00:09:28.939
 I mean, we live with it.

00:09:28.940 --> 00:09:38.520
 If you read the Bible, you become aware of different problematic things in the Bible, often far more than non-Christians, you know, do.

00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:53.299
 But in this particular thing here, which is very, very interesting, is the area that Jesus is going into, Jacob, he has another name in the Old Testament.

00:09:53.299 --> 00:09:56.139
 The other name for Jacob is Israel.

00:09:57.339 --> 00:10:01.240
 And his sons are the 12 tribes of Israel.

00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:11.460
 So Jesus is going into an area that Israel established and the tribes of Israel established.

00:10:11.460 --> 00:10:14.139
 It's now where Samaritans live.

00:10:14.740 --> 00:10:16.320
 Samaritans are semi-pagan.

00:10:16.460 --> 00:10:18.780
 They're half pagan and half Jewish.

00:10:19.980 --> 00:10:29.139
 And so they also are claiming that they go right back to the founder of Israel, the founder of the Jewish people, that they can trace their lineage back.

00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:31.600
 But they're half pagan and half Jewish.

00:10:31.900 --> 00:10:35.879
 And that actually is the source of so much of the conflict.

00:10:36.019 --> 00:10:37.580
 Going back to the same ancestors.

00:10:37.580 --> 00:10:44.540
 I went and when I was 11 years old, I went to Northern Ireland with my family.

00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:49.840
 And we were in a small town in Southern Ireland.

00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:58.960
 And there's like a big wire mesh over the railing of the bridge, over this nice, you know, river.

00:10:59.620 --> 00:11:02.100
 And my dad started chatting to the guy who was there.

00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:03.980
 This is in Southern Ireland.

00:11:03.980 --> 00:11:06.740
 And my dad said, are there any good fish in there?

00:11:07.580 --> 00:11:11.160
 And this crusty old Irish guy says, I'm not going to try to imitate his accent.

00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:15.620
 We haven't been able to fish in there since King Billy crossed the boing.

00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:20.879
 And if you know anything about Ireland, that's sort of the start of the whole Northern Ireland.

00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:22.639
 King Billy is William of Orange.

00:11:24.100 --> 00:11:26.100
 Protestant from Holland.

00:11:26.300 --> 00:11:27.020
 He comes.

00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:29.200
 That's where all the Protestants come from.

00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:31.600
 And my dad kept chatting.

00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.340
 And my dad, as he was walking away, said, you know, that's the problem with this country.

00:11:35.920 --> 00:11:39.160
 It's been their own bloody country for over 100 years.

00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:43.320
 And they're still blaming the lack of fishing on a Protestant king.

00:11:45.100 --> 00:11:47.560
 Memories can go deep when there's lots of conflict.

00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:52.279
 And it's going to keep rearing its head in this particular story.

00:11:53.379 --> 00:11:54.059
 So verse 7.

00:11:54.819 --> 00:11:57.379
 Jesus is going to now meet a Samaritan.

00:11:57.879 --> 00:11:58.279
 Verse 7.

00:11:58.339 --> 00:12:00.619
 A woman from Samaria came to draw water.

00:12:01.359 --> 00:12:05.139
 Jesus said to her, give me a drink.

00:12:05.699 --> 00:12:08.619
 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

00:12:08.620 --> 00:12:17.460
 The Samaritan woman said, how is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria?

00:12:18.379 --> 00:12:23.379
 And then in brackets, for Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:29.080
 In fact, for many Pharisees, for many Jewish people, they would have thought that the second

00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:36.159
 Jesus took a drink out of her container, they had become ritually and ceremonially unclean.

00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:39.319
 And this, by the way, is a common human problem.

00:12:40.079 --> 00:12:45.679
 I think it's still the case in many parts of India that if a dalit, the lowest caste,

00:12:45.959 --> 00:12:52.179
 if they were to get a drink from somebody, they would give them a drink in a,

00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:56.139
 if they even were able to get a drink of water at all, they would get it in like a clay pot,

00:12:56.199 --> 00:12:57.459
 almost like a flower pot.

00:12:58.100 --> 00:13:03.319
 And they would get the drink in that so that the drink, the container could be smashed afterwards

00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:08.820
 so that no non-dalit would be contaminated by drinking the water.

00:13:08.940 --> 00:13:13.940
 It's a common human problem to view people as being ceremonially unclean.

00:13:14.379 --> 00:13:19.060
 But what we see here, which is so interesting, is that Jesus walks towards the woman.

00:13:20.500 --> 00:13:22.760
 He's the one who initiates the conversation.

00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:24.480
 She probably would have ignored him.

00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:29.180
 But Jesus, who has not only intentionally gone into Samaria,

00:13:29.659 --> 00:13:35.820
 now in a sense he walks across the room and begins the conversation with the woman by asking her,

00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:44.220
 in a sense his enemy, the one that many Jewish people would say is deeply unclean,

00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:46.100
 and he asks her for a drink of water.

00:13:46.100 --> 00:13:51.580
 Now, one of the things, whenever you read a narrative in the New Testament,

00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:54.399
 you have to always sort of pause at every juncture.

00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:58.800
 You don't have to, but a way to get more out of it is to pause at these little junctures.

00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:06.460
 Sometimes stories can become so familiar to Christians that the answers and how the responses come,

00:14:06.560 --> 00:14:09.220
 they're obvious, but it's not obvious how the story's going to go.

00:14:09.220 --> 00:14:15.420
 So, like the woman could have said, like, how dare you do that?

00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:19.340
 Or she gives this smart answer to Jesus about, you know, you normally people don't,

00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:23.960
 you Jewish people don't ask, like, from an unclean Samaritan like me.

00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:26.759
 And it's not in a sense obvious what Jesus' answer is.

00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:29.300
 Jesus could say, oh, come on, woman.

00:14:29.420 --> 00:14:30.759
 Like, I'm trying to be friends.

00:14:30.860 --> 00:14:31.779
 Like, work with me.

00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:33.040
 Like, why are you being so?

00:14:33.980 --> 00:14:37.860
 And then, you know, maybe use the B word about her or something like that, you know?

00:14:39.220 --> 00:14:41.879
 He could be arrogant.

00:14:42.040 --> 00:14:46.180
 Like, there's all sorts of possible responses that he could have to the woman after she's been,

00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:48.840
 she hasn't been angry at him, but she's been very cool.

00:14:49.680 --> 00:14:53.899
 Sir is a bit of a formal title, and she's just bringing the problem up front.

00:14:54.139 --> 00:15:03.639
 For 800 years, you folks, you, you, for 800 years, you have been looking down your noses at me.

00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:07.939
 People like me, my people, in my country.

00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:11.620
 So why are you asking me for a drink?

00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:15.559
 Now, what's going to follow here?

00:15:15.740 --> 00:15:20.000
 When I have a counseling degree, I know people always are surprised at that.

00:15:20.100 --> 00:15:21.299
 They wonder why I'm not nicer.

00:15:21.819 --> 00:15:27.019
 But I have a master's degree in counseling, believe it or not.

00:15:27.019 --> 00:15:33.439
 And one of the things that we did for two of the, the two years in the master's program

00:15:33.439 --> 00:15:36.460
 is every term I'd have a, something called a practicum.

00:15:36.899 --> 00:15:40.000
 And one of the things that we had to do in the practicum, I had a cohort,

00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:42.899
 a group of people who were traveling through it with me.

00:15:43.259 --> 00:15:46.639
 And every three weeks, I had to present a verbatim.

00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:48.419
 I don't know if they still do that.

00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:49.699
 Now they probably just tape it.

00:15:49.700 --> 00:15:54.340
 But a verbatim is that throughout the three weeks of practical stuff that we were doing,

00:15:54.340 --> 00:15:58.840
 I had to think of a particular counseling encounter.

00:15:59.920 --> 00:16:05.900
 And I was to try to, on just in two pages, write it down in terms of I said this, they said this.

00:16:06.040 --> 00:16:10.440
 And then we would come and discuss it in terms of what was going on,

00:16:10.540 --> 00:16:12.080
 different ways that we could have approached it.

00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:17.240
 They encouraged us to bring times when we don't think we handled it very well,

00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:20.419
 and also to bring times we think we hit a grand slam with it.

00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:24.419
 And it's really, it really struck me this week as I was preparing this,

00:16:24.460 --> 00:16:26.159
 is what we're about to see is a verbatim.

00:16:27.299 --> 00:16:28.060
 That's what it is.

00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:31.379
 Jesus must have used verbatims to teach his disciples.

00:16:32.500 --> 00:16:34.180
 Like, they walked everywhere.

00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:35.560
 It would take a long time.

00:16:35.659 --> 00:16:37.139
 He would have been on these long walks.

00:16:37.220 --> 00:16:39.659
 And I could just see now Jesus saying,

00:16:39.740 --> 00:16:41.480
 because none of the disciples were there for this.

00:16:41.779 --> 00:16:45.000
 So they'd only know about it if Jesus, in a sense, gave them a verbatim.

00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:49.639
 He looked at him what happened, and then helped to unpack it and use it as a teaching thing.

00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:51.039
 They're walking down the thing.

00:16:51.100 --> 00:16:51.860
 I met this woman.

00:16:52.179 --> 00:16:52.919
 I said this.

00:16:53.100 --> 00:16:53.899
 She said this.

00:16:54.019 --> 00:16:54.679
 I said this.

00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:55.419
 She said this.

00:16:55.500 --> 00:16:56.120
 I said this.

00:16:56.179 --> 00:16:56.820
 She said this.

00:16:56.879 --> 00:16:57.419
 I said this.

00:16:57.460 --> 00:16:58.000
 She said this.

00:16:58.279 --> 00:17:01.279
 And then I can easily see that he'd have a bit of a conversation with him,

00:17:01.379 --> 00:17:04.099
 unpacking what's going on, why he said what he said.

00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:09.240
 It was a very effective teaching practice and counseling.

00:17:09.420 --> 00:17:10.900
 And this is what we're actually seeing.

00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:15.040
 And one of the things that we did sometimes, especially when we were first in our practicum,

00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:22.259
 is that there were either verbatims that the professor had from previous students,

00:17:22.320 --> 00:17:24.600
 or occasionally there would even be books of verbatims,

00:17:24.800 --> 00:17:30.340
 because it can be a very powerful way to learn, to enter into a conversation.

00:17:30.820 --> 00:17:34.920
 So what we have here is a verbatim between Jesus and this woman.

00:17:35.040 --> 00:17:36.560
 So how does Jesus respond?

00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:43.819
 Verse 10, Jesus answered her, if you knew the gift of God and who it is that is saying to you,

00:17:43.879 --> 00:17:49.019
 give me a drink, you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.

00:17:50.879 --> 00:17:53.139
 So Jesus, what does Jesus do?

00:17:53.140 --> 00:18:02.300
 So Jesus has been led by God to walk into Samaria and through it.

00:18:03.020 --> 00:18:07.300
 He's been led by God to walk into an 800-year-old argument.

00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:14.180
 And what he's doing now is he's pressing into her heart.

00:18:16.380 --> 00:18:18.600
 I mean, that's what Jesus does with all of us.

00:18:18.940 --> 00:18:21.060
 And by the heart, I don't mean the emotions.

00:18:21.059 --> 00:18:24.500
 Right? Those of you who have been here for other Sundays,

00:18:24.740 --> 00:18:29.319
 what the Bible means by the heart is the command center of our lives.

00:18:29.819 --> 00:18:34.240
 The command center of our lives from which our will operates,

00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:38.559
 our mind operates, our emotions operate, our memory operates.

00:18:39.240 --> 00:18:46.019
 That deep part of us where, in a sense, will and mind and emotions and memory

00:18:46.019 --> 00:18:48.500
 and all of those things, they all meet.

00:18:48.500 --> 00:18:52.240
 The understanding, the knowledge, they all meet that command center of our lives.

00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:58.359
 And Jesus always walks towards our heart in the context of the living God.

00:18:58.839 --> 00:18:59.559
 That's what he does.

00:18:59.619 --> 00:19:01.099
 He does it with the Samaritan woman.

00:19:01.579 --> 00:19:02.619
 He does it with us.

00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:07.500
 He walks always towards our heart.

00:19:07.500 --> 00:19:10.539
 And in here, he introduces three ideas.

00:19:11.180 --> 00:19:15.819
 And because John is a book, I mean, this is the Bible, so it has 66 books,

00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:20.599
 39 that tell people how to be prepared for Jesus,

00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:23.660
 in a sense, and 27 that sort of unpacks who Jesus is.

00:19:24.180 --> 00:19:28.099
 But this particular part that we're looking at is part of a larger book.

00:19:28.099 --> 00:19:33.219
 And Jesus is introducing three ideas that those of us who know the rest of the story

00:19:33.219 --> 00:19:34.639
 have a bit of a sense of what they are.

00:19:34.740 --> 00:19:37.519
 And it's going to continue to be teased out as the story proceeds.

00:19:37.639 --> 00:19:39.699
 But right now, he introduces three ideas.

00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:42.500
 And the three ideas are very, very interesting.

00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:49.079
 The gift of God, who Jesus is, and what that who is, Jesus,

00:19:49.819 --> 00:19:52.219
 what their heart is and their power is.

00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:53.480
 Three different ideas.

00:19:53.480 --> 00:20:02.200
 And, you know, this again reminded me, this is, I guess this is, at least for me,

00:20:02.259 --> 00:20:06.400
 one of the big learnings that I have as I'm reading through John's Gospel

00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:08.539
 and face-to-face with Jesus,

00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:13.519
 is that I'm increasingly under conviction that I have to tell Canadians

00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:14.799
 that I don't believe in God.

00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:20.099
 At least I don't believe in God as Canadians understand God.

00:20:20.099 --> 00:20:25.039
 That what I need to tell people is, in terms of the God of Canadians, I'm an atheist.

00:20:26.099 --> 00:20:29.299
 I believe the God that's introduced by Jesus.

00:20:30.939 --> 00:20:35.219
 And the God who's introduced by Jesus walks towards people.

00:20:36.099 --> 00:20:38.319
 He walks towards people with a gift.

00:20:40.059 --> 00:20:42.059
 He walks towards our heart.

00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:47.099
 That's the God I believe and not the God of Canadians.

00:20:47.099 --> 00:20:58.959
 Part of my counseling, I was in this one workshop that I had to do when I was doing counseling,

00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:02.899
 and by coincidence, everybody in this particular workshop,

00:21:03.219 --> 00:21:08.599
 they were all either nuns, like nuns with habits, you know, like the singing nun.

00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:09.959
 That's an old joke.

00:21:10.099 --> 00:21:12.179
 But like nuns, parts of religious order,

00:21:12.299 --> 00:21:15.339
 were people who were training to become Roman Catholic priests.

00:21:15.339 --> 00:21:19.799
 I was the only one in the group that wasn't one of these people.

00:21:20.379 --> 00:21:21.480
 And we had to do a role play.

00:21:21.779 --> 00:21:22.879
 And I wasn't part of it.

00:21:23.139 --> 00:21:25.000
 Some people, three people did a role play,

00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:26.720
 and the rest of us then were going to talk about it.

00:21:27.299 --> 00:21:30.819
 And the role play involved how a mom and her kids were interacting.

00:21:31.579 --> 00:21:33.319
 And they do the role play.

00:21:34.099 --> 00:21:37.679
 And the first two or three comments about how insightful and moving it was,

00:21:37.740 --> 00:21:38.339
 and then I said,

00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:39.619
 time out.

00:21:39.619 --> 00:21:42.319
 That's not how moms and kids work.

00:21:43.479 --> 00:21:44.839
 That's not, given the context,

00:21:45.019 --> 00:21:47.639
 that's not how a kid's going to talk to their mom.

00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:50.479
 Like, that's just not the way it is.

00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:52.279
 I have three kids.

00:21:52.459 --> 00:21:53.019
 Trust me.

00:21:53.379 --> 00:21:55.319
 That's not how it works in a family.

00:21:55.859 --> 00:21:56.819
 So here we go.

00:21:57.259 --> 00:21:58.119
 We have this story.

00:21:58.239 --> 00:21:59.859
 Jesus has just introduced this very,

00:21:59.979 --> 00:22:02.659
 very interesting idea about the gift and this power, etc.

00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:04.279
 So how does a Samaritan woman act?

00:22:04.339 --> 00:22:05.439
 Well, she acts like a Samaritan.

00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:08.380
 That's how she acts.

00:22:08.840 --> 00:22:10.039
 Because it's a real story.

00:22:10.380 --> 00:22:12.240
 Look what happens in verse 11 and 12.

00:22:12.460 --> 00:22:14.299
 How does she respond to what Jesus says?

00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:16.320
 The woman says to him, verse 11,

00:22:16.820 --> 00:22:21.279
 Sir, you have nothing to draw water with,

00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:22.259
 and the well is deep.

00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:24.840
 We know that it's at least 100 feet deep.

00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:28.480
 Where do you get that living water?

00:22:29.740 --> 00:22:32.019
 And now, minefield.

00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:33.880
 Minefield.

00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:41.380
 Are you greater than our father, Israel?

00:22:42.059 --> 00:22:42.980
 Or Jacob.

00:22:43.220 --> 00:22:46.759
 Are you greater than our father, Jacob?

00:22:48.779 --> 00:22:53.519
 He, Israel, gave us this well.

00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:56.460
 And drank from it himself,

00:22:56.660 --> 00:22:58.980
 as did his sons, the 12 tribes.

00:23:00.600 --> 00:23:00.940
 Aaron.

00:23:01.220 --> 00:23:02.000
 I'm not sorry, not Aaron.

00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:02.779
 It's wrong.

00:23:02.779 --> 00:23:03.119
 Wrong.

00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:06.920
 But, you know, the 12 tribes.

00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:09.139
 This is their well.

00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:11.720
 She responds like a Samaritan.

00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:14.279
 So how does Jesus respond?

00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:17.079
 He says this.

00:23:18.980 --> 00:23:19.960
 Verse 13.

00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:23.440
 Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again.

00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:28.340
 But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again.

00:23:29.180 --> 00:23:31.000
 Will never be thirsty again.

00:23:31.480 --> 00:23:37.259
 The water that I will give him will become in him or in her a spring of water,

00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:39.240
 welling up to eternal life.

00:23:39.240 --> 00:23:42.759
 And the woman said to him,

00:23:42.900 --> 00:23:44.660
 Sir, give me this water,

00:23:45.460 --> 00:23:48.960
 so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water.

00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:50.319
 Now, just pause.

00:23:50.599 --> 00:23:51.579
 If you're here today,

00:23:52.420 --> 00:23:53.500
 you've come with a friend,

00:23:53.819 --> 00:23:55.339
 or maybe you've just come in by yourself,

00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:56.279
 and you're not a Christian,

00:23:56.640 --> 00:23:58.120
 I want to tell you a secret

00:23:58.120 --> 00:24:00.839
 about the majority of the people here in this room.

00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:03.639
 And the secret is this.

00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:06.839
 Verses like this terrify Christians.

00:24:09.539 --> 00:24:11.220
 Why does this terrify Christians?

00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:14.159
 Look at that again, what it says.

00:24:14.419 --> 00:24:16.720
 Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again,

00:24:16.799 --> 00:24:19.419
 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him

00:24:19.419 --> 00:24:21.740
 will never be thirsty again.

00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:27.959
 And Christians,

00:24:28.459 --> 00:24:30.039
 I mean, it doesn't terrify them all the time,

00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:31.700
 because most of the time we just say it,

00:24:31.740 --> 00:24:32.899
 but when we actually look at it,

00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:34.399
 if we thought we had to do a sermon on it,

00:24:34.420 --> 00:24:35.259
 if I had to say,

00:24:35.420 --> 00:24:38.119
 come up to the front and speak four minutes

00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:40.159
 on how you've never been thirsty again,

00:24:40.700 --> 00:24:42.159
 the fear comes to us.

00:24:42.579 --> 00:24:43.460
 I'm depressed.

00:24:45.099 --> 00:24:46.659
 I struggle with anxiety.

00:24:48.339 --> 00:24:49.819
 I'm struggling with loneliness.

00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:52.119
 I'm tired.

00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:54.839
 I feel like a failure.

00:24:56.220 --> 00:24:57.700
 I feel like I'm defeated.

00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:02.920
 I definitely feel thirsty.

00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:04.720
 I really need God.

00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:07.960
 I don't feel like I'm very strong or well-watered.

00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:11.480
 And for many Christians,

00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:12.819
 when they see a text like this,

00:25:12.859 --> 00:25:15.339
 it terrifies them that a non-Christian would ask them,

00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:16.819
 really?

00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:18.480
 Like, you never thirst?

00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:19.279
 Like this,

00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:20.440
 like whatever that means,

00:25:20.539 --> 00:25:22.299
 some type of spiritual type of sense

00:25:22.299 --> 00:25:24.319
 that never goes on with you anymore?

00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:28.119
 And so,

00:25:28.639 --> 00:25:30.859
 we get terrified about texts like that.

00:25:34.159 --> 00:25:34.599
 So,

00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:37.639
 we need to sort out some confusion around this text

00:25:37.639 --> 00:25:38.519
 and what's going on.

00:25:39.759 --> 00:25:40.859
 Let's look at it again.

00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:41.559
 Verse 13,

00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:58.240
 So,

00:25:58.240 --> 00:25:59.299
 the first thing in here

00:25:59.299 --> 00:26:02.200
 is that Jesus isn't talking about an emotion.

00:26:05.319 --> 00:26:07.200
 He's not talking about an emotion.

00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:10.660
 There's no Christian emotion.

00:26:12.779 --> 00:26:14.840
 I don't care what they say

00:26:14.840 --> 00:26:15.759
 in all sorts of biblical,

00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:16.880
 all sorts of websites.

00:26:17.140 --> 00:26:18.120
 I don't care what they say

00:26:18.120 --> 00:26:19.740
 on all sorts of TV stations.

00:26:20.680 --> 00:26:22.600
 There is no Christian emotion.

00:26:23.220 --> 00:26:25.519
 It isn't that joy is a Christian emotion

00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:28.600
 and other emotions aren't.

00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:30.640
 Blessed are the poor in spirit,

00:26:31.019 --> 00:26:32.500
 for they shall see the kingdom of God.

00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:33.240
 Who said that?

00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:33.759
 Oh yeah,

00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:34.460
 it was Jesus.

00:26:34.460 --> 00:26:38.620
 Maybe Jesus knows more than that television teacher

00:26:38.620 --> 00:26:40.180
 who seems to talk as if

00:26:40.180 --> 00:26:42.519
 joy is the only Christian emotion

00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:43.100
 because he said,

00:26:43.380 --> 00:26:45.460
 blessed are the poor in spirit,

00:26:45.600 --> 00:26:46.860
 for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

00:26:47.259 --> 00:26:49.319
 Blessed are those who mourn,

00:26:50.319 --> 00:26:51.980
 for they shall be comforted.

00:26:54.400 --> 00:26:56.079
 There is no Christian emotion.

00:26:56.620 --> 00:26:56.779
 In fact,

00:26:56.819 --> 00:26:58.259
 one of the things that happens

00:26:58.259 --> 00:26:59.680
 as you come to know Jesus

00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:02.480
 is that Jesus will start

00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:03.340
 to heal

00:27:03.340 --> 00:27:05.000
 your emotional life.

00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:07.460
 He's going to work

00:27:07.460 --> 00:27:08.480
 on your emotional life.

00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:09.400
 And one of the things

00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:10.360
 that he does to heal it

00:27:10.360 --> 00:27:11.019
 is that you feel

00:27:11.019 --> 00:27:11.820
 the full range

00:27:11.820 --> 00:27:12.640
 of human emotions.

00:27:13.980 --> 00:27:15.160
 You'll feel all of them.

00:27:16.539 --> 00:27:17.420
 Jesus wept

00:27:17.420 --> 00:27:19.500
 at the grave of Lazarus.

00:27:19.560 --> 00:27:19.860
 He was,

00:27:20.120 --> 00:27:21.759
 at the grave of Lazarus.

00:27:22.500 --> 00:27:23.420
 He wasn't being,

00:27:23.900 --> 00:27:25.000
 he wasn't sinning

00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:25.779
 when he weeped.

00:27:25.820 --> 00:27:26.980
 He was being human.

00:27:26.980 --> 00:27:27.900
 He was feeling

00:27:27.900 --> 00:27:29.579
 a human emotion.

00:27:30.360 --> 00:27:31.160
 And when the Holy Spirit

00:27:31.160 --> 00:27:32.259
 comes into our lives,

00:27:32.360 --> 00:27:33.180
 it doesn't come

00:27:33.180 --> 00:27:34.839
 like a type of drug.

00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:35.240
 It doesn't,

00:27:35.440 --> 00:27:36.680
 the Holy Spirit

00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:38.140
 is an oxycodone

00:27:38.140 --> 00:27:40.140
 that only makes you

00:27:40.140 --> 00:27:41.240
 feel one thing.

00:27:42.420 --> 00:27:42.579
 You'll,

00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:42.860
 you'll,

00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:43.759
 you start to get

00:27:43.759 --> 00:27:44.960
 your emotions healed.

00:27:46.980 --> 00:27:48.400
 And that's a whole other topic,

00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:49.220
 but that's what happens.

00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:50.000
 It's not one emotion.

00:27:50.120 --> 00:27:51.240
 So what's going on here

00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:52.220
 in this text?

00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:54.759
 There's a bit of a mix up.

00:27:54.759 --> 00:27:55.839
 We now have

00:27:55.839 --> 00:27:57.400
 three dozen roses

00:27:57.400 --> 00:27:58.759
 at the church today.

00:27:59.099 --> 00:27:59.799
 I originally was just

00:27:59.799 --> 00:28:00.480
 going to have one,

00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:02.079
 but after the service,

00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:03.319
 this just works out

00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:04.680
 good for all of you folks.

00:28:05.900 --> 00:28:06.619
 Everybody here,

00:28:06.700 --> 00:28:06.819
 well,

00:28:06.859 --> 00:28:07.579
 obviously there's too many

00:28:07.579 --> 00:28:08.000
 for all of you

00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:08.480
 to have a rose,

00:28:08.619 --> 00:28:09.980
 but take,

00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:10.700
 take everybody

00:28:10.700 --> 00:28:11.879
 who wants a rose

00:28:11.879 --> 00:28:12.599
 after the service,

00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:13.299
 take a rose.

00:28:13.759 --> 00:28:14.700
 We have some newspapers

00:28:14.700 --> 00:28:15.339
 over there

00:28:15.339 --> 00:28:16.279
 and you can wrap it up

00:28:16.279 --> 00:28:17.039
 so it doesn't get destroyed

00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:17.539
 in the cold.

00:28:17.940 --> 00:28:18.980
 But here we have

00:28:18.980 --> 00:28:19.599
 some roses

00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:20.579
 and this,

00:28:20.759 --> 00:28:21.519
 these roses

00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:22.859
 will help us

00:28:22.859 --> 00:28:23.680
 to understand

00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:25.120
 what Jesus is saying here.

00:28:25.380 --> 00:28:26.580
 The thing you can notice

00:28:26.580 --> 00:28:27.740
 about all of these roses

00:28:27.740 --> 00:28:29.640
 is that they're cut.

00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:34.200
 And this rose

00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:35.299
 illustrates

00:28:35.299 --> 00:28:37.080
 what it means

00:28:37.080 --> 00:28:37.779
 to be human.

00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:40.620
 Every single one of us

00:28:40.620 --> 00:28:41.799
 is a cut rose.

00:28:44.180 --> 00:28:45.600
 We've been disconnected

00:28:45.600 --> 00:28:47.900
 from the source of life.

00:28:47.900 --> 00:28:52.560
 Some of you might say,

00:28:52.660 --> 00:28:52.880
 George,

00:28:52.940 --> 00:28:53.620
 I sure wish

00:28:53.620 --> 00:28:54.440
 I'd been as pretty

00:28:54.440 --> 00:28:55.400
 as one of those roses.

00:28:56.360 --> 00:28:57.100
 I've always been

00:28:57.100 --> 00:28:58.500
 more of a wilted rose.

00:28:59.900 --> 00:29:00.780
 And some of us

00:29:00.780 --> 00:29:01.680
 might be sitting here

00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:02.060
 thinking,

00:29:02.460 --> 00:29:02.700
 George,

00:29:02.759 --> 00:29:04.120
 I look like these roses

00:29:04.120 --> 00:29:04.960
 are going to look

00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:06.220
 in about a week and a half.

00:29:07.180 --> 00:29:07.980
 Pretty dried

00:29:07.980 --> 00:29:08.660
 and withered.

00:29:09.759 --> 00:29:11.060
 And maybe we can look around

00:29:11.060 --> 00:29:12.060
 and see some other people

00:29:12.060 --> 00:29:13.040
 and they really do look

00:29:13.040 --> 00:29:14.140
 like a beautiful rose,

00:29:14.320 --> 00:29:15.460
 but in God's sight

00:29:15.460 --> 00:29:15.820
 in a sense,

00:29:15.900 --> 00:29:16.500
 every one of us

00:29:16.500 --> 00:29:17.600
 is like a beautiful rose,

00:29:17.599 --> 00:29:19.480
 but every single human being

00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:20.179
 is cut,

00:29:21.199 --> 00:29:22.240
 separated from God.

00:29:24.879 --> 00:29:25.819
 And in a sense,

00:29:25.919 --> 00:29:27.159
 what Jesus is saying here,

00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:27.339
 see,

00:29:27.419 --> 00:29:27.959
 it all goes back

00:29:27.959 --> 00:29:28.919
 to Genesis 3.

00:29:29.819 --> 00:29:30.799
 God makes us

00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:32.240
 to have a relationship

00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:32.839
 with him

00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:35.219
 and he makes us perfect

00:29:35.219 --> 00:29:36.559
 and he makes us

00:29:36.559 --> 00:29:37.339
 to have this relationship

00:29:37.339 --> 00:29:37.899
 with him

00:29:37.899 --> 00:29:40.740
 and we are now,

00:29:40.819 --> 00:29:41.179
 in a sense,

00:29:41.299 --> 00:29:41.980
 in Adam

00:29:41.980 --> 00:29:43.079
 and what happens

00:29:43.079 --> 00:29:43.899
 in Adam

00:29:43.899 --> 00:29:44.839
 is that Adam

00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:46.799
 decides to not believe God,

00:29:46.799 --> 00:29:47.799
 not trust God,

00:29:47.879 --> 00:29:49.379
 to want to be like God himself

00:29:49.379 --> 00:29:51.359
 and so he and Eve

00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:52.419
 turn from God

00:29:52.419 --> 00:29:54.039
 to become like gods themselves

00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:56.539
 and they disconnect themselves

00:29:56.539 --> 00:29:58.379
 from the source of life,

00:29:58.799 --> 00:29:59.720
 which is how

00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:01.519
 first there becomes sin

00:30:01.519 --> 00:30:03.480
 and then death comes in

00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:05.099
 as a sign of sin.

00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:09.319
 And so what Jesus is saying here

00:30:09.319 --> 00:30:11.359
 is very, very, very powerful.

00:30:12.019 --> 00:30:13.480
 Remember he said earlier,

00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:15.559
 if you knew the gift of God

00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:17.779
 and if you knew

00:30:17.779 --> 00:30:19.799
 who was speaking to you,

00:30:20.940 --> 00:30:22.339
 then you would ask him

00:30:22.339 --> 00:30:24.180
 for living water.

00:30:24.559 --> 00:30:25.759
 She pushes back.

00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:27.660
 She acts like a person

00:30:27.660 --> 00:30:29.059
 who's in an 800-year argument

00:30:29.059 --> 00:30:30.400
 and she pushes back

00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:32.099
 and Jesus is undaunted.

00:30:32.299 --> 00:30:32.500
 Why?

00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:33.500
 Because he's walking

00:30:33.500 --> 00:30:34.640
 towards her heart

00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:37.460
 and he gives her this image

00:30:37.460 --> 00:30:38.380
 of,

00:30:38.380 --> 00:30:41.680
 and it's this powerful image

00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:42.180
 in a sense

00:30:42.180 --> 00:30:43.940
 if you drink in Jesus,

00:30:44.120 --> 00:30:45.260
 it's this sense

00:30:45.260 --> 00:30:47.020
 that whatever this gift is,

00:30:47.060 --> 00:30:48.020
 it's not just something

00:30:48.020 --> 00:30:49.260
 which is out there.

00:30:50.260 --> 00:30:52.320
 Jesus uses a variety of images,

00:30:52.460 --> 00:30:53.480
 both in terms of images

00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:54.200
 of believing,

00:30:54.460 --> 00:30:55.540
 of eating bread,

00:30:55.660 --> 00:30:56.660
 of drinking water,

00:30:56.880 --> 00:30:58.340
 of drinking wine.

00:30:58.420 --> 00:30:59.860
 He does these different images

00:30:59.860 --> 00:31:01.600
 to illustrate this basic

00:31:01.600 --> 00:31:02.480
 spiritual truth

00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:03.580
 that Jesus

00:31:03.580 --> 00:31:05.380
 is going to do something

00:31:05.380 --> 00:31:07.860
 that only God can do

00:31:07.860 --> 00:31:09.660
 that we cannot do ourselves

00:31:09.660 --> 00:31:10.860
 that is going to have

00:31:10.860 --> 00:31:12.660
 as its fundamental property.

00:31:13.220 --> 00:31:14.920
 It is going to reconnect us

00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:15.500
 to God

00:31:15.500 --> 00:31:17.240
 so that we are reconnected

00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:18.740
 to the source of life.

00:31:19.100 --> 00:31:20.940
 And the image that he uses

00:31:20.940 --> 00:31:21.880
 is that

00:31:21.880 --> 00:31:24.340
 when we drink him in

00:31:24.340 --> 00:31:27.380
 to receive what only he can do

00:31:27.380 --> 00:31:28.580
 and what he is going to do

00:31:28.580 --> 00:31:30.060
 for us upon the cross,

00:31:30.059 --> 00:31:35.200
 the very center

00:31:35.200 --> 00:31:36.500
 of who I am,

00:31:37.379 --> 00:31:39.779
 apart from Christ,

00:31:39.980 --> 00:31:40.460
 it's as if

00:31:40.460 --> 00:31:41.659
 in the center of who I am

00:31:41.659 --> 00:31:42.599
 there is a cup

00:31:42.599 --> 00:31:44.819
 with a limited amount of water

00:31:44.819 --> 00:31:46.039
 and every day

00:31:46.039 --> 00:31:46.759
 that water

00:31:46.759 --> 00:31:47.940
 is being poured out

00:31:47.940 --> 00:31:49.359
 and death is when

00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:50.419
 the water is all gone.

00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:53.039
 And Jesus is saying

00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:54.119
 at the very center

00:31:54.119 --> 00:31:54.940
 of who you are

00:31:54.940 --> 00:31:58.179
 there is now a spring

00:31:58.180 --> 00:32:00.860
 of living water,

00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:02.279
 of fresh water

00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:04.759
 that will flow in you

00:32:04.759 --> 00:32:05.299
 and through you

00:32:05.299 --> 00:32:06.120
 for all eternity.

00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:08.600
 For all eternity.

00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:11.100
 I will connect you back to God.

00:32:12.580 --> 00:32:14.120
 I think I've gotten out of my order.

00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:14.779
 Could you put

00:32:14.779 --> 00:32:16.700
 my first point up there?

00:32:17.700 --> 00:32:18.299
 Here we go.

00:32:20.080 --> 00:32:21.299
 Points are just to be a help

00:32:21.299 --> 00:32:22.580
 even if I get carried away.

00:32:22.580 --> 00:32:23.720
 From birth,

00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:26.120
 every human being

00:32:26.119 --> 00:32:27.699
 is like a beautiful

00:32:27.699 --> 00:32:28.959
 cut rose.

00:32:29.459 --> 00:32:30.119
 From birth,

00:32:30.259 --> 00:32:31.239
 every human being

00:32:31.239 --> 00:32:32.199
 is like a beautiful

00:32:32.199 --> 00:32:33.859
 cut rose.

00:32:34.339 --> 00:32:35.339
 And the second point,

00:32:35.419 --> 00:32:36.139
 if you could put it up,

00:32:36.219 --> 00:32:36.879
 when you drink

00:32:36.879 --> 00:32:38.000
 in Christ,

00:32:38.939 --> 00:32:40.000
 he creates

00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:42.179
 an eternal spring

00:32:42.179 --> 00:32:43.739
 of living water

00:32:43.739 --> 00:32:45.139
 at the center

00:32:45.139 --> 00:32:46.199
 of who you are.

00:32:47.500 --> 00:32:49.059
 When you drink

00:32:49.059 --> 00:32:50.799
 in Christ,

00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:52.259
 he creates

00:32:52.259 --> 00:32:53.119
 an eternal spring

00:32:53.739 --> 00:32:54.739
 of living water

00:32:54.740 --> 00:32:56.160
 at the center

00:32:56.160 --> 00:32:57.339
 of who you are.

00:32:59.700 --> 00:33:00.140
 Now,

00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:00.759
 some of you

00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:02.380
 are probably

00:33:02.380 --> 00:33:03.380
 a little bit surprised

00:33:03.380 --> 00:33:04.319
 about what happens next.

00:33:04.420 --> 00:33:04.940
 I have to do this

00:33:04.940 --> 00:33:05.880
 all very briefly.

00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:08.279
 But,

00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:09.880
 Jesus does something

00:33:09.880 --> 00:33:10.599
 which is very

00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:11.559
 un-Canadian.

00:33:11.799 --> 00:33:12.079
 You see,

00:33:12.460 --> 00:33:13.200
 for Canadians,

00:33:13.400 --> 00:33:13.980
 we would like it

00:33:13.980 --> 00:33:14.559
 if the story

00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:15.759
 stopped right here.

00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:17.420
 In fact,

00:33:17.539 --> 00:33:18.140
 as Canadians,

00:33:18.279 --> 00:33:18.620
 we would go,

00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:19.640
 aww,

00:33:20.180 --> 00:33:21.660
 a spring of living water.

00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:22.599
 Aww,

00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:24.759
 that's so nice.

00:33:25.639 --> 00:33:26.119
 Aww,

00:33:26.579 --> 00:33:27.119
 that could be

00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:28.179
 like a greeting card.

00:33:30.959 --> 00:33:31.699
 And the people

00:33:31.699 --> 00:33:32.240
 in our culture

00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:32.919
 who don't like Christians

00:33:32.919 --> 00:33:33.240
 would say,

00:33:33.299 --> 00:33:33.399
 yeah,

00:33:33.439 --> 00:33:34.439
 just give me a jack

00:33:34.439 --> 00:33:35.240
 and a beer.

00:33:35.699 --> 00:33:35.980
 Like, you know,

00:33:36.019 --> 00:33:36.719
 that just stuff makes,

00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:37.079
 that just,

00:33:37.199 --> 00:33:38.439
 I get sick and tired

00:33:38.439 --> 00:33:39.319
 of that stuff, right?

00:33:39.639 --> 00:33:40.659
 But we'd like to stop

00:33:40.659 --> 00:33:41.279
 right here.

00:33:42.679 --> 00:33:43.259
 And in fact,

00:33:43.500 --> 00:33:44.240
 Canadians get

00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:45.799
 profoundly uncomfortable

00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:47.879
 about what happens next.

00:33:47.959 --> 00:33:48.279
 In fact,

00:33:48.279 --> 00:33:50.359
 the typical Canadian question

00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:50.879
 is,

00:33:51.379 --> 00:33:52.379
 why is Jesus

00:33:52.379 --> 00:33:53.819
 being so mean

00:33:53.819 --> 00:33:55.079
 next?

00:33:56.539 --> 00:33:56.879
 Well,

00:33:56.920 --> 00:33:57.460
 what happens?

00:33:57.579 --> 00:33:58.379
 Look what happens.

00:34:00.700 --> 00:34:02.059
 It's verse 16,

00:34:02.139 --> 00:34:02.259
 right?

00:34:02.359 --> 00:34:03.059
 Verse 15 is,

00:34:03.180 --> 00:34:03.240
 sir,

00:34:03.319 --> 00:34:04.319
 give me this water

00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:04.960
 so that I will not

00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:05.440
 be thirsty

00:34:05.440 --> 00:34:06.160
 or have to come here

00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:06.759
 to draw water.

00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:08.019
 End of the story

00:34:08.019 --> 00:34:08.800
 if it was Canadians.

00:34:09.059 --> 00:34:10.440
 But this is a Jesus story

00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:11.059
 and he's going

00:34:11.059 --> 00:34:11.980
 towards our heart.

00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:13.059
 What does he say?

00:34:13.699 --> 00:34:14.559
 Jesus said to her,

00:34:14.619 --> 00:34:15.639
 go call your husband

00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:16.440
 and come here.

00:34:18.280 --> 00:34:20.120
 The woman answered him,

00:34:20.700 --> 00:34:21.580
 I have no husband.

00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:24.960
 There's,

00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:25.920
 in English,

00:34:26.040 --> 00:34:26.980
 just four very,

00:34:27.080 --> 00:34:27.300
 very,

00:34:27.380 --> 00:34:28.940
 very powerful words.

00:34:29.780 --> 00:34:32.680
 I have no husband.

00:34:35.160 --> 00:34:36.019
 Hasn't gone into

00:34:36.019 --> 00:34:36.560
 a lot of detail,

00:34:36.720 --> 00:34:37.580
 but it's very clear

00:34:37.580 --> 00:34:38.220
 and frank.

00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:40.420
 Jesus said to her,

00:34:41.200 --> 00:34:42.400
 you are right in saying,

00:34:42.500 --> 00:34:43.080
 notice he says,

00:34:43.160 --> 00:34:44.519
 you are right in saying,

00:34:44.600 --> 00:34:45.380
 I have no husband.

00:34:46.019 --> 00:34:46.800
 For you have had

00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:48.000
 five husbands

00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:49.579
 and the implication here

00:34:49.579 --> 00:34:50.199
 is that it's not

00:34:50.199 --> 00:34:50.980
 that they've died.

00:34:52.940 --> 00:34:54.219
 She believes in a sense

00:34:54.219 --> 00:34:55.519
 in serial monogamy.

00:34:55.900 --> 00:34:57.119
 She's had many husbands.

00:34:57.519 --> 00:34:58.760
 They've all ended in divorce

00:34:58.760 --> 00:35:01.059
 and then he continues on

00:35:01.059 --> 00:35:02.019
 and the one you now have

00:35:02.019 --> 00:35:02.960
 is not your husband.

00:35:03.659 --> 00:35:04.880
 What you have said is true.

00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:08.079
 And for many of us,

00:35:08.139 --> 00:35:09.199
 we say to ourselves

00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:10.059
 as Canadians,

00:35:10.900 --> 00:35:12.340
 Jesus has just promised

00:35:12.340 --> 00:35:13.199
 living water

00:35:13.199 --> 00:35:15.000
 and now he is,

00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:16.619
 like,

00:35:16.779 --> 00:35:17.719
 why is he turning away

00:35:17.719 --> 00:35:18.500
 from living water?

00:35:18.599 --> 00:35:19.379
 But the thing is,

00:35:19.639 --> 00:35:20.960
 he's not turning away

00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:21.980
 from living water.

00:35:23.899 --> 00:35:25.259
 This is all part of him

00:35:25.259 --> 00:35:26.039
 giving her

00:35:26.039 --> 00:35:27.199
 living water.

00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:30.119
 You see,

00:35:30.179 --> 00:35:31.299
 the God who really exists

00:35:31.299 --> 00:35:32.099
 isn't the God

00:35:32.099 --> 00:35:33.500
 that most Canadians worship.

00:35:33.500 --> 00:35:37.840
 Jesus is introducing God

00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:41.400
 and so he points out

00:35:41.400 --> 00:35:42.079
 her sin

00:35:42.079 --> 00:35:42.920
 and he commends her

00:35:42.920 --> 00:35:44.039
 for honest answer

00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:46.320
 and then she responds

00:35:46.320 --> 00:35:46.719
 in a very,

00:35:46.860 --> 00:35:47.579
 very powerful

00:35:47.579 --> 00:35:48.599
 and personal,

00:35:49.639 --> 00:35:50.539
 you know,

00:35:50.579 --> 00:35:50.860
 in a very,

00:35:50.980 --> 00:35:51.639
 very powerful

00:35:51.639 --> 00:35:52.440
 and personal way

00:35:52.440 --> 00:35:53.340
 in verses 16,

00:35:53.480 --> 00:35:53.860
 17,

00:35:53.960 --> 00:35:54.340
 and 18.

00:35:54.860 --> 00:35:55.119
 Sorry,

00:35:55.360 --> 00:35:56.239
 I should have kept reading.

00:35:56.659 --> 00:35:57.380
 The woman answered him,

00:35:57.420 --> 00:35:58.079
 I have no husband.

00:35:58.219 --> 00:35:58.380
 Jesus,

00:35:58.519 --> 00:35:58.699
 okay,

00:35:58.840 --> 00:35:59.519
 back up to,

00:35:59.659 --> 00:35:59.800
 yeah.

00:35:59.800 --> 00:36:00.240
 So,

00:36:00.560 --> 00:36:02.720
 he is giving her

00:36:02.720 --> 00:36:03.460
 living water.

00:36:03.700 --> 00:36:04.500
 That's what he's doing.

00:36:04.560 --> 00:36:05.080
 He's giving her

00:36:05.080 --> 00:36:05.740
 living water.

00:36:06.740 --> 00:36:07.100
 You see,

00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:08.860
 the fact is

00:36:08.860 --> 00:36:11.100
 that God is good

00:36:11.100 --> 00:36:14.000
 and earlier on

00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:15.080
 Jesus has said

00:36:15.080 --> 00:36:16.060
 that God is light

00:36:16.060 --> 00:36:16.640
 and in him

00:36:16.640 --> 00:36:17.800
 there is no darkness

00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:18.380
 whatsoever

00:36:18.380 --> 00:36:21.400
 and the whole problem

00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:22.620
 in Genesis 3

00:36:22.620 --> 00:36:23.860
 began

00:36:23.860 --> 00:36:24.940
 because

00:36:24.940 --> 00:36:26.580
 human beings

00:36:26.580 --> 00:36:28.480
 didn't believe God

00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:31.579
 they didn't trust God

00:36:31.579 --> 00:36:32.659
 they didn't trust

00:36:32.659 --> 00:36:33.519
 that he was good

00:36:33.519 --> 00:36:35.440
 and when they had done

00:36:35.440 --> 00:36:36.800
 something which was wrong

00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:37.420
 if you go back

00:36:37.420 --> 00:36:38.719
 and read Genesis 3

00:36:38.719 --> 00:36:40.039
 God comes

00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:41.679
 and Adam and Eve

00:36:41.679 --> 00:36:42.360
 are hiding

00:36:42.360 --> 00:36:44.000
 and when God

00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:44.980
 speaks to them

00:36:44.980 --> 00:36:46.159
 Adam doesn't say

00:36:46.159 --> 00:36:46.940
 you know God

00:36:46.940 --> 00:36:48.199
 I did something

00:36:48.199 --> 00:36:49.079
 which was wrong

00:36:49.079 --> 00:36:52.719
 instead what he does

00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:53.320
 is

00:36:53.320 --> 00:36:54.740
 he blames

00:36:54.740 --> 00:36:55.539
 his wife

00:36:55.539 --> 00:36:58.940
 and won't acknowledge

00:36:58.940 --> 00:36:59.340
 that he's done

00:36:59.340 --> 00:37:00.119
 anything wrong

00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:03.259
 you can already see

00:37:03.259 --> 00:37:03.860
 how

00:37:03.860 --> 00:37:04.920
 the problem

00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:05.579
 of sin

00:37:05.579 --> 00:37:06.900
 is breaking him down

00:37:06.900 --> 00:37:07.599
 and pushing him

00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:08.579
 even farther away

00:37:08.579 --> 00:37:09.179
 from God

00:37:09.179 --> 00:37:11.960
 and

00:37:11.960 --> 00:37:13.900
 God calls us

00:37:13.900 --> 00:37:15.259
 God is true

00:37:15.259 --> 00:37:16.460
 God is good

00:37:16.460 --> 00:37:17.699
 God is beautiful

00:37:17.699 --> 00:37:19.519
 and there are things

00:37:19.519 --> 00:37:19.759
 with

00:37:19.759 --> 00:37:20.539
 and he's made us

00:37:20.539 --> 00:37:21.300
 for himself

00:37:21.300 --> 00:37:22.699
 he's made us

00:37:22.699 --> 00:37:23.360
 for goodness

00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:24.559
 he's made us

00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:25.340
 for truth

00:37:25.340 --> 00:37:26.440
 he's made us

00:37:26.440 --> 00:37:27.239
 for beauty

00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:28.579
 he's made us

00:37:28.579 --> 00:37:29.739
 for wholeness

00:37:29.739 --> 00:37:31.920
 and as the eternal water

00:37:31.920 --> 00:37:33.099
 spring of water

00:37:33.099 --> 00:37:34.539
 comes into our lives

00:37:34.539 --> 00:37:36.000
 it's not going to be

00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:36.759
 amoral

00:37:36.759 --> 00:37:37.539
 it's not going to just

00:37:37.539 --> 00:37:39.039
 be a spiritual comfort

00:37:39.039 --> 00:37:40.480
 it's not just going to

00:37:40.480 --> 00:37:41.719
 bless whatever we do

00:37:41.719 --> 00:37:42.619
 it's going to work

00:37:42.619 --> 00:37:43.360
 within us

00:37:43.360 --> 00:37:44.840
 to prepare us

00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:46.259
 to live with God

00:37:46.259 --> 00:37:47.679
 everything that Jesus

00:37:47.679 --> 00:37:48.440
 is doing

00:37:48.440 --> 00:37:49.679
 is doing

00:37:49.679 --> 00:37:50.880
 something so that

00:37:50.880 --> 00:37:51.920
 at the end of the day

00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:54.139
 we can once again

00:37:54.139 --> 00:37:55.300
 walk with God

00:37:55.300 --> 00:37:56.780
 in the cool of the day

00:37:56.780 --> 00:37:58.740
 and feel his arm

00:37:58.740 --> 00:37:59.639
 around us

00:37:59.639 --> 00:38:02.220
 as we just spend time

00:38:02.220 --> 00:38:03.019
 with God

00:38:03.019 --> 00:38:05.220
 and so the things

00:38:05.220 --> 00:38:05.780
 within us

00:38:05.780 --> 00:38:07.000
 which are not good

00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:08.240
 which are not true

00:38:08.240 --> 00:38:10.099
 which are not beautiful

00:38:10.099 --> 00:38:12.000
 which are dark

00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:13.460
 and idolatrous

00:38:13.460 --> 00:38:15.079
 and hiding

00:38:15.079 --> 00:38:16.719
 the water

00:38:16.719 --> 00:38:17.659
 is going to have

00:38:17.659 --> 00:38:19.380
 to bring it out

00:38:19.380 --> 00:38:22.179
 because God

00:38:22.179 --> 00:38:22.739
 is true

00:38:22.739 --> 00:38:34.639
 so she responds

00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:35.519
 in verse 19

00:38:35.519 --> 00:38:36.920
 sir I perceive

00:38:36.920 --> 00:38:37.819
 that you are a prophet

00:38:37.819 --> 00:38:39.279
 our fathers worshipped

00:38:39.279 --> 00:38:39.920
 on this mountain

00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:40.420
 but you say

00:38:40.420 --> 00:38:41.019
 that in Jerusalem

00:38:41.019 --> 00:38:41.659
 is the place

00:38:41.659 --> 00:38:42.099
 where people

00:38:42.099 --> 00:38:42.759
 ought to worship

00:38:42.760 --> 00:38:45.080
 what she does

00:38:45.080 --> 00:38:45.640
 here is

00:38:45.640 --> 00:38:50.160
 in the presence

00:38:50.160 --> 00:38:50.700
 of Jesus

00:38:50.700 --> 00:38:51.100
 she

00:38:51.100 --> 00:38:52.900
 in her mind

00:38:52.900 --> 00:38:53.540
 the only thing

00:38:53.540 --> 00:38:54.380
 she can think of

00:38:54.380 --> 00:38:54.720
 is I

00:38:54.720 --> 00:38:56.560
 I need to somehow

00:38:56.560 --> 00:38:57.680
 do something

00:38:57.680 --> 00:38:58.520
 to atone

00:38:58.520 --> 00:38:59.400
 I need to go

00:38:59.400 --> 00:38:59.880
 and offer

00:38:59.880 --> 00:39:00.460
 some type

00:39:00.460 --> 00:39:01.380
 of a sacrifice

00:39:01.380 --> 00:39:04.660
 my sin

00:39:04.660 --> 00:39:05.380
 has been revealed

00:39:05.380 --> 00:39:06.380
 I need to offer

00:39:06.380 --> 00:39:07.620
 some type of sacrifice

00:39:07.620 --> 00:39:08.560
 to try to take

00:39:08.560 --> 00:39:09.240
 this away

00:39:09.240 --> 00:39:11.280
 and she's a little

00:39:11.280 --> 00:39:11.980
 bit worried

00:39:11.980 --> 00:39:12.579
 that because

00:39:12.579 --> 00:39:13.639
 Jesus is talking

00:39:13.639 --> 00:39:14.240
 about all these

00:39:14.240 --> 00:39:14.420
 things

00:39:14.420 --> 00:39:14.820
 she's going to

00:39:14.820 --> 00:39:15.380
 have to become

00:39:15.380 --> 00:39:15.900
 Jewish

00:39:15.900 --> 00:39:17.300
 and she doesn't

00:39:17.300 --> 00:39:18.159
 realize that

00:39:18.159 --> 00:39:19.699
 Jesus is in fact

00:39:19.699 --> 00:39:20.659
 the Lamb of God

00:39:20.659 --> 00:39:21.420
 who takes away

00:39:21.420 --> 00:39:22.320
 the sin of the world

00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:24.199
 that he is not

00:39:24.199 --> 00:39:25.240
 going to only

00:39:25.240 --> 00:39:26.440
 defeat death

00:39:26.440 --> 00:39:27.940
 and create the

00:39:27.940 --> 00:39:29.039
 conditions whereby

00:39:29.039 --> 00:39:30.059
 when we put our

00:39:30.059 --> 00:39:30.840
 faith and trust

00:39:30.840 --> 00:39:31.179
 in him

00:39:31.179 --> 00:39:31.980
 we can share

00:39:31.980 --> 00:39:32.579
 in his defeat

00:39:32.579 --> 00:39:33.039
 of death

00:39:33.039 --> 00:39:34.420
 but he also

00:39:34.420 --> 00:39:35.539
 deals with that

00:39:35.539 --> 00:39:36.559
 which causes

00:39:36.559 --> 00:39:37.099
 death

00:39:37.099 --> 00:39:38.400
 which is our sin

00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:39.380
 which is our love

00:39:39.380 --> 00:39:39.980
 of idols

00:39:39.980 --> 00:39:40.760
 our love

00:39:40.760 --> 00:39:42.559
 of lies

00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:43.960
 our love

00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:44.340
 of things

00:39:44.340 --> 00:39:44.900
 which are not

00:39:44.900 --> 00:39:45.360
 good

00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:47.300
 and our shame

00:39:47.300 --> 00:39:47.940
 and Jesus

00:39:47.940 --> 00:39:48.720
 on the cross

00:39:48.720 --> 00:39:49.940
 deals not only

00:39:49.940 --> 00:39:51.099
 with the defeat

00:39:51.099 --> 00:39:51.559
 of death

00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:52.119
 to reconnect

00:39:52.119 --> 00:39:52.680
 us to life

00:39:52.680 --> 00:39:53.800
 but he deals

00:39:53.800 --> 00:39:55.480
 with guilt

00:39:55.480 --> 00:39:56.140
 he deals

00:39:56.140 --> 00:39:56.740
 with shame

00:39:56.740 --> 00:39:58.099
 he takes on

00:39:58.099 --> 00:39:58.720
 himself

00:39:58.720 --> 00:39:59.820
 the guilt

00:39:59.820 --> 00:40:01.180
 that I can't

00:40:01.180 --> 00:40:01.760
 deal with

00:40:01.760 --> 00:40:02.480
 by myself

00:40:02.480 --> 00:40:03.059
 he

00:40:03.059 --> 00:40:03.800
 you know the

00:40:03.800 --> 00:40:04.440
 Bible as I've

00:40:04.440 --> 00:40:04.860
 said before

00:40:04.860 --> 00:40:05.920
 never tells us

00:40:05.920 --> 00:40:06.460
 to forgive

00:40:06.460 --> 00:40:06.980
 ourselves

00:40:06.980 --> 00:40:07.920
 the Bible

00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:08.639
 tells us

00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:09.119
 to learn

00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:09.740
 to accept

00:40:09.740 --> 00:40:10.420
 the forgiveness

00:40:10.420 --> 00:40:11.159
 which has been

00:40:11.159 --> 00:40:11.920
 offered in

00:40:11.920 --> 00:40:12.320
 Jesus

00:40:12.320 --> 00:40:13.559
 because he

00:40:13.559 --> 00:40:14.679
 has paid

00:40:14.679 --> 00:40:15.719
 it all

00:40:15.719 --> 00:40:17.219
 he

00:43:19.300 --> 00:43:19.539
 something

00:43:19.539 --> 00:43:19.940
 which even

00:43:19.940 --> 00:43:20.460
 a child

00:43:20.460 --> 00:43:21.019
 can do

00:43:21.019 --> 00:43:22.599
 is to

00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:22.920
 give at

00:43:22.920 --> 00:43:23.340
 the level

00:43:23.340 --> 00:43:23.739
 of their

00:43:23.739 --> 00:43:24.219
 of who

00:43:24.219 --> 00:43:24.559
 they are

00:43:24.559 --> 00:43:25.039
 just give

00:43:25.039 --> 00:43:25.579
 themselves

00:43:25.579 --> 00:43:26.860
 and that's

00:43:26.860 --> 00:43:27.139
 what the

00:43:27.139 --> 00:43:27.679
 father is

00:43:27.679 --> 00:43:28.159
 seeking

00:43:28.159 --> 00:43:29.920
 for us

00:43:29.920 --> 00:43:30.199
 to no

00:43:30.199 --> 00:43:30.800
 longer run

00:43:30.800 --> 00:43:31.079
 and no

00:43:31.079 --> 00:43:31.380
 longer

00:43:31.380 --> 00:43:31.739
 hide

00:43:31.739 --> 00:43:32.119
 but to

00:43:32.119 --> 00:43:32.559
 stop

00:43:32.559 --> 00:43:33.079
 and turn

00:43:33.079 --> 00:43:33.579
 and say

00:43:33.579 --> 00:43:34.599
 father

00:43:34.599 --> 00:43:34.900
 you have

00:43:34.900 --> 00:43:35.059
 been

00:43:35.059 --> 00:43:35.400
 seeking

00:43:35.400 --> 00:43:35.619
 me

00:43:35.619 --> 00:43:36.099
 all my

00:43:36.099 --> 00:43:36.480
 life

00:43:36.480 --> 00:43:38.159
 I am

00:43:38.159 --> 00:43:38.599
 yours

00:43:38.599 --> 00:43:39.920
 may

00:43:39.920 --> 00:43:40.280
 Jesus

00:43:40.280 --> 00:43:40.940
 come in

00:43:40.940 --> 00:43:42.179
 and do

00:43:42.179 --> 00:43:42.619
 the work

00:43:42.619 --> 00:43:43.039
 he needs

00:43:43.039 --> 00:43:43.519
 to do

00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:44.699
 that I

00:43:44.699 --> 00:43:45.099
 might be

00:43:45.099 --> 00:43:45.519
 yours

00:43:45.519 --> 00:43:46.579
 and that

00:43:46.579 --> 00:43:47.360
 that spring

00:43:47.360 --> 00:43:48.599
 of everlasting

00:43:48.599 --> 00:43:49.199
 water

00:43:49.199 --> 00:43:49.759
 might flow

00:43:49.759 --> 00:43:50.099
 in my

00:43:50.099 --> 00:43:50.440
 life

00:43:50.440 --> 00:43:51.019
 into all

00:43:51.019 --> 00:43:51.440
 eternity

00:43:51.440 --> 00:43:52.539
 please stand

00:43:52.539 --> 00:44:00.679
 if there's

00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:01.280
 anyone here

00:44:01.280 --> 00:44:01.719
 who hasn't

00:44:01.719 --> 00:44:02.119
 given their

00:44:02.119 --> 00:44:02.519
 life to

00:44:02.519 --> 00:44:02.800
 Jesus

00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:03.320
 there is

00:44:03.320 --> 00:44:03.679
 no better

00:44:03.679 --> 00:44:04.099
 time

00:44:04.099 --> 00:44:04.519
 than right

00:44:04.519 --> 00:44:04.920
 now

00:44:04.920 --> 00:44:05.739
 in fact

00:44:05.739 --> 00:44:06.139
 what I

00:44:06.139 --> 00:44:06.519
 would just

00:44:06.519 --> 00:44:06.900
 say

00:44:06.900 --> 00:44:07.340
 if you

00:44:07.340 --> 00:44:07.659
 you know

00:44:07.659 --> 00:44:07.960
 I'm not

00:44:07.960 --> 00:44:08.539
 you know

00:44:08.539 --> 00:44:09.000
 the problem

00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:10.119
 I grew up

00:44:10.119 --> 00:44:10.559
 in churches

00:44:10.559 --> 00:44:10.920
 where

00:44:10.920 --> 00:44:12.239
 the pastor

00:44:12.239 --> 00:44:12.659
 always had

00:44:12.659 --> 00:44:13.420
 a formula

00:44:13.420 --> 00:44:13.860
 that you

00:44:13.860 --> 00:44:14.219
 had to

00:44:14.219 --> 00:44:14.480
 pray

00:44:14.480 --> 00:44:14.960
 and that

00:44:14.960 --> 00:44:15.139
 was

00:44:15.139 --> 00:44:15.880
 terrifying

00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:16.980
 because

00:44:16.980 --> 00:44:17.300
 as a

00:44:17.300 --> 00:44:17.440
 little

00:44:17.440 --> 00:44:17.820
 kid

00:44:17.820 --> 00:44:17.980
 I

00:44:17.980 --> 00:44:18.159
 thought

00:44:18.159 --> 00:44:18.280
 I

00:44:18.280 --> 00:44:18.420
 had

00:44:18.420 --> 00:44:18.579
 to

00:44:18.579 --> 00:44:18.940
 memorize

00:44:18.940 --> 00:44:19.340
 the

00:44:19.340 --> 00:44:19.780
 formula

00:44:19.780 --> 00:44:20.059
 and

00:44:20.059 --> 00:44:20.360
 figure

00:44:20.360 --> 00:44:20.539
 out

00:44:20.539 --> 00:44:20.659
 how

00:44:20.659 --> 00:44:20.800
 to

00:44:20.800 --> 00:44:21.079
 say

00:44:21.079 --> 00:44:21.260
 it

00:44:21.260 --> 00:44:21.860
 perfectly

00:44:21.860 --> 00:44:22.760
 there

00:44:22.760 --> 00:44:22.940
 is

00:44:22.940 --> 00:44:23.119
 no

00:44:23.119 --> 00:44:23.639
 formula

00:44:23.639 --> 00:44:25.000
 all I

00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:25.119
 would

00:44:25.119 --> 00:44:25.260
 say

00:44:25.260 --> 00:44:25.360
 is

00:44:25.360 --> 00:44:25.500
 just

00:44:25.500 --> 00:44:25.720
 take

00:44:25.720 --> 00:44:25.880
 the

00:44:25.880 --> 00:44:26.079
 words

00:44:26.079 --> 00:44:26.300
 of the

00:44:26.300 --> 00:44:26.639
 Bible

00:44:26.639 --> 00:44:27.920
 and

00:44:27.920 --> 00:44:28.199
 just

00:44:28.199 --> 00:44:30.079
 just

00:44:30.079 --> 00:44:30.840
 copy

00:44:30.840 --> 00:44:31.039
 the

00:44:31.039 --> 00:44:31.320
 words

00:44:31.320 --> 00:44:31.659
 of that

 Jesus

00:44:36.659 --> 00:44:37.159
 tells

00:44:37.159 --> 00:44:37.300
 you

00:44:40.019 --> 00:44:40.179
 he

00:44:40.179 --> 00:44:40.380
 might

 going on
