00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.339
 You are listening to a message from Southwood Presbyterian Church in Huntsville, Alabama.

00:00:06.339 --> 00:00:10.519
! Our passion is to experience and express grace. Join us.

00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:26.100
 As you're coming up here and getting settled, raise your hand if you like animals. Anybody up here

00:00:26.100 --> 00:00:30.440
 like animals? Yeah, some of you have gotten to see lots of animals at different places that you've

00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:37.280
 gone and visited. Some of you have animals that live at your house, don't you? Yeah, and animals

00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:45.299
 are a lot of fun. In our passage in the Bible today that we're about to read, God uses animals to help

00:00:45.299 --> 00:00:52.700
 us learn about Jesus. Isn't that cool? So, I need y'all to help me out a little bit. Who can tell me

00:00:52.700 --> 00:01:03.780
 what a lion says? What does a lion say? Just kind of soft like that? What does a lion say? Okay, very

00:01:03.780 --> 00:01:11.939
 good. Very good. Yeah. Lions are the kings of the jungle, right? They're big and they're loud

00:01:11.939 --> 00:01:17.960
 and they're strong and they're scary sometimes, aren't they? We need them to stay behind fences.

00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:23.920
 We can look at them from the other side of the glass, right? Yeah. Let me ask you another question.

00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:36.939
 Does a lamb say roar? Is that what a lamb? No? What? Is that what a lamb says? Yeah, you're right.

00:01:37.299 --> 00:01:48.420
 Lambs are soft, aren't they? And slow and calm sometimes. So, now, if you're sad, which one of

00:01:48.420 --> 00:01:55.340
 those animals, a lion or a lamb, would you want to cuddle up to you and encourage you and comfort

00:01:55.340 --> 00:02:02.879
 you? Which one do you think? A lamb. I think you're right. But what if you're being attacked?

00:02:03.320 --> 00:02:09.060
 If you're being bullied? If somebody is hurting you or which one of those two animals do you want to

00:02:09.060 --> 00:02:16.300
 fight on your… Oh, you didn't even… Let me finish the question. Lion. Yeah, you're right.

00:02:16.300 --> 00:02:21.880
 But, you know, I was thinking about this this week. I don't know if you can think

00:02:21.880 --> 00:02:30.320
 of a time like this in your life, but sometimes we're sad and scared at the same time, aren't we?

00:02:31.380 --> 00:02:39.360
 Sometimes we really need both of those things to help us. We need a strong lion who will also

00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:46.280
 scoop us up and hold us in his arms, right? Or we might need a calm lamb because

00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:52.039
 we really need somebody to cuddle up with, but we need him to chase away all of our enemies,

00:02:52.180 --> 00:02:59.280
 don't we? What we're going to read about in the Bible today, you know what the Bible tells us about

00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:07.840
 Jesus? Which one of those animals do you think Jesus is? Y'all are really smart. The Bible tells us

00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:15.900
 Jesus is both. He's a lion and a lamb. Now, when it says that, is it actually telling us that Jesus

00:03:15.900 --> 00:03:23.960
 says, rawr, or that he has a woolly coat? Is that what it means? No, no, that would be silly. It's saying

00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:34.000
 that Jesus is the lion. He is the king who rules over us, right? And he's the lamb, the lamb who loves us so much.

00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:41.099
 He's the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world because he comes and dies for our sins.

00:03:41.699 --> 00:03:49.259
 He defeats all of our enemies and he brings us home to live with him forever. Isn't that amazing?

00:03:50.099 --> 00:03:56.979
 Isn't Jesus awesome that he can do both of those things all the time? I want you to remember that

00:03:56.979 --> 00:04:04.519
 because it means that you can go to Jesus with anything that you have and whatever you need and he'll be

00:04:04.519 --> 00:04:12.319
 exactly what you need. Can you remember that? Jesus is always the one that you need. Thank you all for

00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:18.259
 helping me out and for listening this morning. If you are going to kids worship, you're going to go right out

00:04:18.259 --> 00:04:23.839
 the back door. Miss Sarah Nell is going to meet you right out that door in the back. There, you see Miss Sarah Nell?

00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:28.839
 She's walking over there. You're going to go to her and the rest of you go back to your seats and

00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:34.099
 listen because we're about to read about the lion and the lamb, okay? Thank you all so much for coming up here.

00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:38.879
 You'll be a great helper.

00:04:53.839 --> 00:05:13.139
 Revelation 5 this morning where we're continuing this account of the throne room of heaven.

00:05:14.679 --> 00:05:22.039
 John is painting for us this amazing image of what he's taking in as he looks there. We're going to be

00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:30.360
 in Revelation 5 for two weeks. Honestly, the more I read it, the more I could just kind of stay in

00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:38.820
 Revelation 5 forever. I encourage you to read it through this week. I'm reading it every day. There's

00:05:38.820 --> 00:05:45.420
 new things. There's new glories there. So, I'm actually going to read the whole chapter for us this

00:05:45.420 --> 00:05:55.600
 morning. I want you to get both the tension and the resolution of this beautiful passage of God's Word.

00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:57.180
 Revelation 5.

00:05:57.420 --> 00:06:05.600
 Then I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a scroll written within and on the back

00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:12.220
 sealed with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice,

00:06:12.220 --> 00:06:21.400
 who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals? And no one in heaven or on earth or under the

00:06:21.400 --> 00:06:30.140
 earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it. And I began to weep loudly because no one was

00:06:30.140 --> 00:06:37.620
 found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. And one of the elders said to me, weep no more.

00:06:37.620 --> 00:06:44.360
 Behold, the lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has conquered so that he can open the

00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:49.280
 scroll and its seven seals. And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders,

00:06:49.420 --> 00:06:57.420
 I saw a lamb standing as though it had been slain with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the

00:06:57.420 --> 00:07:05.540
 seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. And he went and took the scroll from the right hand of

00:07:05.540 --> 00:07:11.160
 him who was seated on the throne. And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the

00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:16.860
 twenty-four elders fell down before the lamb, each holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which

00:07:16.860 --> 00:07:22.820
 are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song saying, worthy are you to take the scroll and to

00:07:22.820 --> 00:07:29.000
 open its seals. For you were slain and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and

00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:35.459
 language and people and nation. And you have made them a kingdom and priest to our God. And they shall

00:07:35.459 --> 00:07:40.839
 reign on the earth. Then I looked and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders,

00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:46.939
 the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud

00:07:46.939 --> 00:07:54.379
 voice, worthy is the lamb who was slain to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and

00:07:54.379 --> 00:08:01.139
 glory and blessing. And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea and

00:08:01.139 --> 00:08:09.319
 all that is in them, saying to him who sits on the throne and to the lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and

00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:18.659
 might forever and ever. And the four living creatures said, amen. And the elders fell down and worshiped.

00:08:18.660 --> 00:08:35.899
 Amen. We thank God for his holy word. What an incredible account, right? I just want to give you a second to

00:08:35.899 --> 00:08:44.100
 try to take in what you just heard described. We're going to go back a little bit more slowly. Let's go

00:08:44.100 --> 00:08:51.220
 back to the beginning and see if we can notice what's going on. The chapter opens with the holy,

00:08:51.399 --> 00:09:01.440
 holy, holy God on his throne holding out a scroll. What's that all about? It's important that we know

00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:10.700
 this. Writing on the front and on the back is unusual in this time. But it's saying it's filled up.

00:09:10.700 --> 00:09:19.379
 There's no room to add more, okay? And the seven seals indicate that it's an important document,

00:09:19.520 --> 00:09:29.460
 like a last will and testament of an important person. In this case, the most important, the one

00:09:29.460 --> 00:09:39.360
 on the throne of heaven. To know what's on the scroll, we need to look back and look forward.

00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:48.159
 We see scrolls like this looking back in the Old Testament. In places like Ezekiel chapter 2,

00:09:48.300 --> 00:09:56.080
 where God tells his prophet Ezekiel to speak his word to his people who are rebelling against him.

00:09:56.500 --> 00:10:09.240
 Eat the scroll, God says. And then speak out words of lamentation and mourning and woe.

00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:16.639
 And later in Revelation, we're told that this scroll, like Ezekiel's, will taste sweet in John's mouth,

00:10:16.740 --> 00:10:28.080
 but be bitter in his stomach. See, good and bad. Looking forward in Revelation, that's what we see.

00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:33.100
 How do we know what's on the scroll? Well, we see some as we keep reading. When the seals are broken,

00:10:33.100 --> 00:10:40.500
 out comes judgment as well as blessing. Revelation 6 and following, we'll get there soon.

00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:51.159
 This scroll then is best understood as God's complete plan for all of history, okay?

00:10:51.720 --> 00:11:00.120
 God's redemptive purpose is to bring all things to their conclusion with justice upon evil,

00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:09.820
 on the one hand, and rescue for his people, on the other hand. Sweet and bitter, judgment and mercy.

00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:17.580
 All of these rolled up in one scroll full of the glorious master plan.

00:11:17.580 --> 00:11:29.759
 But there's a problem, isn't there? See, no matter where he looks or how loudly he speaks or how strong he is,

00:11:30.060 --> 00:11:39.420
 the angel can find no one able to open the scroll by breaking its seals. He is searching, isn't he?

00:11:39.419 --> 00:11:48.879
 Everywhere. Who is worthy? That's the history-shaping question, right?

00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:56.319
 People have been wondering for millennia how to see things set right in the world.

00:11:56.839 --> 00:12:02.360
 What it means to be worthy of God, so to speak.

00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:11.159
 People have been hoping since the curses and the promises when we were being banished from the Garden of Eden.

00:12:11.419 --> 00:12:18.399
 How do we get back into this close relationship with God that we were made for?

00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:25.440
 People have been longing since Cain murdered Abel to see justice done, right?

00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:28.560
 To see goodness vindicated.

00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:41.779
 See, this problem here is not merely a matter of knowing God's plan, being able to see what's written on the scroll,

00:12:42.139 --> 00:12:47.079
 but actually to see someone who can make it happen.

00:12:47.079 --> 00:12:54.399
 The person who can break the seals would be the one who can make God's plan actually happen.

00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:59.759
 The executor, you might say, of the last will and testament.

00:13:00.299 --> 00:13:03.000
 That's what the worthy person would be.

00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:11.039
 So, the problem is that without someone worthy, God's redemptive purposes can't come into effect.

00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:16.360
 His riches, if you will, can't be shared, can't be passed on.

00:13:16.779 --> 00:13:19.980
 Curses can't come upon evil in the world.

00:13:19.980 --> 00:13:23.659
 And blessing can't come to those needing rescue.

00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:26.360
 This is a huge problem.

00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:30.360
 Even the strong, sinless angel can't open it.

00:13:30.579 --> 00:13:32.699
 Can't bring God's plan to pass.

00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:35.740
 No one anywhere can do it.

00:13:39.459 --> 00:13:42.779
 Notice that John's building this tension.

00:13:42.779 --> 00:13:47.959
 I think he wants us to feel some of what he feels.

00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:54.500
 John says, verse 4, he began to weep loudly.

00:13:56.139 --> 00:13:58.680
 To weep and weep.

00:13:58.920 --> 00:14:04.320
 This is what is welling up inside of John because no one worthy was found.

00:14:04.460 --> 00:14:05.660
 And maybe you're already there.

00:14:05.920 --> 00:14:08.759
 Maybe you are tracking with this instantly.

00:14:09.100 --> 00:14:09.960
 That's great.

00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:12.180
 You're following the weeping.

00:14:12.300 --> 00:14:13.280
 You're already feeling it.

00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:15.399
 Maybe like me, yours started earlier in the service.

00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:22.339
 But most of us need to slow down here until we feel John's tears.

00:14:24.079 --> 00:14:26.759
 See, John is the one who represents us.

00:14:27.379 --> 00:14:30.100
 The people of God in these last ages.

00:14:30.439 --> 00:14:34.139
 The last days between Jesus' two comings.

00:14:34.299 --> 00:14:34.939
 That's us.

00:14:34.940 --> 00:14:36.240
 Exiled, right?

00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:39.040
 Often persecuted.

00:14:39.380 --> 00:14:40.980
 Facing injustice.

00:14:41.580 --> 00:14:44.200
 Wondering what's next for them.

00:14:44.660 --> 00:14:45.360
 That's us.

00:14:46.920 --> 00:14:49.040
 So John weeps.

00:14:50.300 --> 00:14:50.980
 Why?

00:14:54.180 --> 00:14:56.980
 Because if that scroll can't be opened,

00:14:56.980 --> 00:15:04.080
 the Christians being martyred around the world today have lost.

00:15:04.899 --> 00:15:06.460
 Never to be vindicated.

00:15:08.620 --> 00:15:10.940
 Because if the scroll can't be opened,

00:15:11.340 --> 00:15:15.560
 those who lied about you to get ahead and never got caught,

00:15:15.980 --> 00:15:18.139
 never get caught.

00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:22.560
 Because if the scroll can't be opened,

00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:25.919
 people who do things like abuse children

00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:28.899
 and sell women

00:15:28.899 --> 00:15:35.879
 never get the just punishment they deserve.

00:15:36.139 --> 00:15:37.859
 The punishment coming to them.

00:15:40.139 --> 00:15:42.179
 Because if the scroll can't be opened,

00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:45.599
 the animals made to live in harmony together,

00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:49.079
 the plants made to bloom fruitfully,

00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:54.240
 the stars and the mountains made to just shine

00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:56.720
 and grow majestically,

00:15:57.060 --> 00:15:58.960
 bigger than we can imagine,

00:15:59.920 --> 00:16:02.240
 will never be restored to their former glory.

00:16:05.860 --> 00:16:08.060
 Because if the scroll can't be opened,

00:16:09.700 --> 00:16:13.720
 parents who've lost children way too young,

00:16:14.620 --> 00:16:17.920
 children who've lost parents to dementia

00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:19.839
 way too soon,

00:16:20.979 --> 00:16:24.019
 and people who've lost loved ones to cancer

00:16:24.019 --> 00:16:25.259
 way too often,

00:16:26.139 --> 00:16:30.360
 will never be reunited with them.

00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:38.159
 Because if the scroll can't be opened,

00:16:38.659 --> 00:16:41.459
 every person who ever lived,

00:16:42.199 --> 00:16:45.319
 even the best people you can think of

00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:48.540
 who have sacrificed worldly pleasure

00:16:48.540 --> 00:16:52.580
 in order to live lives that are more moral than some others,

00:16:52.800 --> 00:16:56.680
 every single person will be lost forever,

00:16:57.060 --> 00:17:00.760
 paying for their sin against a holy God

00:17:00.760 --> 00:17:02.660
 for all eternity.

00:17:03.660 --> 00:17:06.420
 Lamentation, mourning, and woe

00:17:06.420 --> 00:17:08.660
 only forever.

00:17:08.660 --> 00:17:08.800
 forever.

00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:11.100
 After death,

00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:12.560
 that is a departure

00:17:12.560 --> 00:17:15.400
 from what is then our best life

00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:16.800
 now into

00:17:16.800 --> 00:17:19.000
 eternal despair.

00:17:23.320 --> 00:17:25.779
 Y'all, I'm not trying to be dramatic.

00:17:26.900 --> 00:17:28.840
 I'm trying to be honest.

00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:31.259
 Do you understand

00:17:31.259 --> 00:17:33.240
 why John's weeping?

00:17:34.059 --> 00:17:35.779
 John wants us to feel

00:17:35.779 --> 00:17:38.259
 that kind of desperation

00:17:38.259 --> 00:17:40.539
 that maybe you haven't felt recently

00:17:40.539 --> 00:17:42.039
 or maybe you're living there

00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:44.220
 as he's weeping repeatedly

00:17:44.220 --> 00:17:45.960
 and uncontrollably.

00:17:46.779 --> 00:17:48.900
 Now we're starting to be able

00:17:48.900 --> 00:17:50.400
 to see what makes John weep.

00:17:50.579 --> 00:17:51.440
 No justice.

00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:54.200
 No redemption.

00:17:54.980 --> 00:17:57.079
 No hope at all.

00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:02.439
 Friends, people have never managed

00:18:02.439 --> 00:18:04.079
 to organize

00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:05.579
 or meditate

00:18:05.579 --> 00:18:07.939
 or deny

00:18:07.939 --> 00:18:10.720
 or perform themselves

00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:12.759
 into eternal hope

00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:13.839
 and life

00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:15.019
 and righteousness

00:18:15.019 --> 00:18:16.419
 and peace.

00:18:17.919 --> 00:18:19.299
 That's because no one,

00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:20.379
 none of us

00:18:20.379 --> 00:18:21.279
 is worthy

00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:22.980
 to bring justice

00:18:22.980 --> 00:18:23.939
 and mercy

00:18:23.940 --> 00:18:25.279
 at an ultimate

00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:27.240
 and eternal level.

00:18:27.660 --> 00:18:28.279
 And so,

00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:30.080
 we weep.

00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:32.940
 Angels are flummoxed.

00:18:34.360 --> 00:18:36.220
 Creation groans.

00:18:36.660 --> 00:18:38.759
 Who is worthy?

00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:45.200
 It's hard.

00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:49.559
 Especially if there are tears

00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:50.259
 in your eyes

00:18:50.259 --> 00:18:52.080
 like mine

00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:53.319
 right now.

00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:54.399
 I want you to listen.

00:18:57.659 --> 00:18:58.779
 We're going to keep talking

00:18:58.779 --> 00:18:59.699
 about the tears.

00:19:02.059 --> 00:19:02.539
 Listen

00:19:02.539 --> 00:19:03.980
 to what happens.

00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:05.359
 Verse 5.

00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:08.919
 One of the elders said to me,

00:19:09.399 --> 00:19:11.059
 Weep no more.

00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:12.579
 Behold,

00:19:12.659 --> 00:19:13.279
 the lion

00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:14.119
 of the tribe

00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:14.759
 of Judah,

00:19:15.419 --> 00:19:16.519
 the root of David,

00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:18.579
 has conquered

00:19:18.579 --> 00:19:20.579
 so that he can open

00:19:20.579 --> 00:19:21.240
 the scroll

00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:23.519
 and its seven seals.

00:19:24.460 --> 00:19:24.980
 Look!

00:19:25.779 --> 00:19:26.159
 He says,

00:19:26.220 --> 00:19:27.539
 The lion king

00:19:27.539 --> 00:19:29.759
 promised in Genesis 49

00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:30.779
 to come

00:19:30.779 --> 00:19:32.059
 from Judah's line.

00:19:32.699 --> 00:19:33.859
 The root of David

00:19:33.859 --> 00:19:35.879
 promised in Isaiah 11

00:19:35.879 --> 00:19:37.299
 to be the Messiah

00:19:37.299 --> 00:19:38.099
 who would come

00:19:38.099 --> 00:19:38.740
 and rule

00:19:38.740 --> 00:19:40.220
 and set all things right.

00:19:40.879 --> 00:19:42.359
 The conqueror

00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:43.759
 who has won

00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:44.659
 and earned

00:19:44.659 --> 00:19:45.279
 the right

00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:46.519
 to break the seals

00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:47.460
 and open the scroll.

00:19:47.460 --> 00:19:48.579
 He's here!

00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:50.019
 Look!

00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:50.840
 The lion!

00:19:53.559 --> 00:19:54.440
 And then John

00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:55.039
 starts to draw

00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:55.519
 the attention,

00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:55.980
 doesn't he?

00:19:56.620 --> 00:19:57.640
 He's going to highlight

00:19:57.640 --> 00:19:58.480
 the plot twist.

00:19:58.700 --> 00:19:59.380
 Just pretend

00:19:59.380 --> 00:20:00.160
 you don't know yet

00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:00.680
 you didn't listen

00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:01.579
 to the children's moment

00:20:01.579 --> 00:20:02.460
 or when I read,

00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:02.700
 okay?

00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:05.079
 Verse 6.

00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:06.759
 And between

00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:07.680
 the throne

00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:09.019
 and the four living creatures

00:20:09.019 --> 00:20:10.160
 and among the elders

00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:10.819
 I saw,

00:20:11.700 --> 00:20:12.519
 or in the Greek

00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:13.240
 it reads,

00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:14.039
 I saw

00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:16.059
 between the throne

00:20:16.059 --> 00:20:17.460
 and the four living creatures

00:20:17.460 --> 00:20:19.000
 and among the elders

00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:20.579
 and of course

00:20:20.579 --> 00:20:21.460
 we expect

00:20:21.460 --> 00:20:22.460
 that what he's telling them

00:20:22.460 --> 00:20:23.740
 is he saw the lion

00:20:23.740 --> 00:20:25.200
 except

00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:28.039
 he says

00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:30.019
 a lamb.

00:20:32.019 --> 00:20:33.059
 A lamb

00:20:33.059 --> 00:20:34.000
 standing

00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:36.240
 as though it had been slain

00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:38.819
 but

00:20:38.819 --> 00:20:40.240
 alive.

00:20:40.579 --> 00:20:41.380
 Verse 7

00:20:41.380 --> 00:20:42.140
 the lamb

00:20:42.140 --> 00:20:42.819
 is moving.

00:20:43.079 --> 00:20:43.519
 He went

00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:44.259
 and took

00:20:44.259 --> 00:20:44.839
 the scroll

00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:46.099
 from the right hand

00:20:46.099 --> 00:20:46.859
 of him

00:20:46.859 --> 00:20:47.519
 who was seated

00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:48.700
 on the throne.

00:20:49.220 --> 00:20:50.019
 Who is

00:20:50.019 --> 00:20:50.599
 worthy?

00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:53.579
 The answer

00:20:53.579 --> 00:20:54.640
 to that question

00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:55.859
 that shapes

00:20:55.859 --> 00:20:56.920
 all of eternity

00:20:56.920 --> 00:20:58.500
 the entire story

00:20:58.500 --> 00:20:59.500
 from eternity past

00:20:59.500 --> 00:21:00.480
 to eternity future

00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:02.240
 is the lion

00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:03.079
 lamb.

00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:05.460
 This is where

00:21:05.460 --> 00:21:07.259
 we're focusing today

00:21:07.259 --> 00:21:08.720
 the multifaceted

00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:09.839
 glory

00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:11.139
 of Jesus

00:21:11.139 --> 00:21:12.159
 it's what this is

00:21:12.159 --> 00:21:12.939
 all about.

00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:14.519
 The lion

00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:15.279
 lamb

00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:16.199
 both

00:21:16.199 --> 00:21:17.439
 of those things

00:21:17.439 --> 00:21:18.559
 in one person

00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:19.259
 as our

00:21:19.259 --> 00:21:20.220
 slide

00:21:20.220 --> 00:21:20.960
 image

00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:21.659
 is going to

00:21:21.659 --> 00:21:22.159
 continue

00:21:22.159 --> 00:21:23.240
 reminding us

00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:24.319
 through the rest

00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:25.339
 of this book.

00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:28.299
 The lion

00:21:28.299 --> 00:21:28.720
 lamb

00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:29.699
 you could say

00:21:29.699 --> 00:21:31.019
 the God

00:21:31.019 --> 00:21:32.019
 man

00:21:32.019 --> 00:21:34.019
 isn't it amazing

00:21:34.019 --> 00:21:36.019
 after chapter 4

00:21:36.019 --> 00:21:36.500
 just remember

00:21:36.500 --> 00:21:37.359
 just last week

00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:38.220
 where the one

00:21:38.220 --> 00:21:38.799
 on the throne

00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:39.359
 of heaven

00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:40.559
 is utterly

00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:41.079
 unique

00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:42.259
 incomparable

00:21:42.259 --> 00:21:43.259
 there's no one

00:21:43.259 --> 00:21:44.039
 like him

00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:45.099
 that all of a sudden

00:21:45.099 --> 00:21:46.319
 someone arises

00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:48.119
 from among

00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:48.920
 the elders

00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:49.839
 representing

00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:50.720
 God's people

00:21:50.720 --> 00:21:51.240
 remember

00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:53.359
 and then

00:21:53.359 --> 00:21:53.639
 that

00:21:53.639 --> 00:21:54.700
 that one

00:21:54.700 --> 00:21:55.240
 goes

00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:56.119
 where no one

00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:57.319
 else has dared

00:21:57.319 --> 00:21:58.599
 right up

00:21:58.599 --> 00:21:59.940
 to the throne

00:21:59.940 --> 00:22:01.100
 at the right

00:22:01.100 --> 00:22:02.240
 hand of the throne

00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:03.380
 what's going on

00:22:03.380 --> 00:22:04.420
 see humanity

00:22:04.420 --> 00:22:05.059
 had brought

00:22:05.059 --> 00:22:06.059
 the curse

00:22:06.059 --> 00:22:06.920
 humanity

00:22:06.920 --> 00:22:07.700
 had to

00:22:07.700 --> 00:22:08.480
 restore

00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:09.200
 the blessing

00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:10.299
 he's fully

00:22:10.299 --> 00:22:11.259
 man

00:22:11.259 --> 00:22:12.580
 from among

00:22:12.580 --> 00:22:12.980
 men

00:22:12.980 --> 00:22:15.400
 but at the same

00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:16.539
 time only God

00:22:16.539 --> 00:22:17.860
 could bring

00:22:17.860 --> 00:22:19.340
 divine justice

00:22:19.340 --> 00:22:20.400
 blessing

00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:21.759
 of perfect

00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:22.740
 quality

00:22:22.740 --> 00:22:23.080
 and

00:22:23.080 --> 00:22:24.080
 eternal

00:22:24.080 --> 00:22:25.080
 duration

00:22:25.080 --> 00:22:26.440
 to rebellious

00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:27.200
 people

00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:28.180
 fully

00:22:28.180 --> 00:22:29.299
 God

00:22:29.299 --> 00:22:30.319
 he is

00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:30.600
 right

00:22:30.600 --> 00:22:31.460
 veiled

00:22:31.460 --> 00:22:32.660
 in flesh

00:22:32.660 --> 00:22:34.220
 the Godhead

00:22:34.220 --> 00:22:34.940
 see

00:22:34.940 --> 00:22:35.700
 hail

00:22:35.700 --> 00:22:37.039
 the incarnate

00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:38.000
 deity

00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:40.319
 the God

00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:41.660
 who's transcendent

00:22:41.660 --> 00:22:42.900
 far beyond

00:22:42.900 --> 00:22:43.640
 who's imminent

00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:44.360
 right here

00:22:44.360 --> 00:22:45.240
 near me

00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:48.340
 you could say

00:22:48.340 --> 00:22:50.279
 the crucified

00:22:50.279 --> 00:22:51.340
 resurrected

00:22:51.340 --> 00:22:54.680
 because think

00:22:54.680 --> 00:22:55.039
 about it

00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:55.380
 the one

00:22:55.380 --> 00:22:56.019
 whose last

00:22:56.019 --> 00:22:56.920
 will and testament

00:22:56.920 --> 00:22:57.920
 needs to be

00:22:57.920 --> 00:22:58.460
 opened

00:22:58.460 --> 00:23:00.960
 has to have

00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:01.480
 died

00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:02.279
 right

00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:05.619
 but if he's

00:23:05.619 --> 00:23:06.200
 also the

00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:06.920
 executor

00:23:06.920 --> 00:23:07.339
 who's going

00:23:07.339 --> 00:23:07.759
 to make

00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:08.500
 these plans

00:23:08.500 --> 00:23:09.119
 happen

00:23:09.119 --> 00:23:09.879
 he will need

00:23:09.879 --> 00:23:10.720
 still to be

00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:11.279
 alive

00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:12.920
 and here is

00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:13.819
 the lamb

00:23:13.819 --> 00:23:14.839
 who has been

00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:15.539
 slain

00:23:15.539 --> 00:23:16.379
 everyone can

00:23:16.379 --> 00:23:16.980
 see it

00:23:16.980 --> 00:23:18.000
 looking at him

00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:18.759
 but he's

00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:19.480
 standing

00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:21.059
 alive

00:23:21.059 --> 00:23:22.079
 that's not

00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:22.500
 the way you

00:23:22.500 --> 00:23:23.379
 were slain

00:23:23.379 --> 00:23:24.420
 on an altar

00:23:24.420 --> 00:23:26.120
 standing

00:23:26.120 --> 00:23:26.700
 alive

00:23:26.700 --> 00:23:27.519
 victorious

00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:28.560
 over death

00:23:28.560 --> 00:23:29.320
 able to bring

00:23:29.320 --> 00:23:29.980
 justice

00:23:29.980 --> 00:23:30.759
 to its fullest

00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:31.360
 extent

00:23:31.360 --> 00:23:32.160
 and mercy

00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:32.720
 to the most

00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:33.420
 undeserving

00:23:33.420 --> 00:23:34.200
 who trusts

00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:34.620
 him

00:23:34.620 --> 00:23:38.880
 notice with me

00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:39.120
 what

00:23:39.120 --> 00:23:40.340
 what this passage

00:23:40.340 --> 00:23:41.080
 says makes

00:23:41.080 --> 00:23:41.800
 Jesus

00:23:41.800 --> 00:23:42.840
 worthy

00:23:42.840 --> 00:23:44.800
 verse 5

00:23:44.800 --> 00:23:45.500
 and verse 9

00:23:45.500 --> 00:23:45.940
 are going to be

00:23:45.940 --> 00:23:46.600
 talking about

00:23:46.600 --> 00:23:47.259
 the same

00:23:47.259 --> 00:23:48.180
 thing

00:23:48.180 --> 00:23:49.039
 verse 5

00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:49.980
 the lion

00:23:49.980 --> 00:23:51.059
 has conquered

00:23:51.059 --> 00:23:52.639
 so he can

00:23:52.639 --> 00:23:53.420
 break the seals

00:23:53.420 --> 00:23:54.220
 and open

00:23:54.220 --> 00:23:54.759
 the scroll

00:23:54.759 --> 00:23:55.579
 what makes

00:23:55.579 --> 00:23:55.899
 him worthy

00:23:55.899 --> 00:23:56.980
 he conquered

00:23:56.980 --> 00:23:58.059
 verse 9

00:23:58.059 --> 00:23:59.299
 he's worthy

00:23:59.299 --> 00:24:00.519
 because he

00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:01.119
 was

00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:03.039
 slain

00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:05.299
 what's going

00:24:05.299 --> 00:24:05.680
 on

00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:06.440
 victory

00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:06.819
 see

00:24:06.819 --> 00:24:07.940
 looked like

00:24:07.940 --> 00:24:09.960
 defeat

00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:12.139
 being

00:24:12.139 --> 00:24:13.099
 slain

00:24:13.099 --> 00:24:13.960
 was how

00:24:13.960 --> 00:24:14.619
 this king

00:24:14.619 --> 00:24:15.559
 conquered

00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:17.059
 could that

00:24:17.059 --> 00:24:17.399
 be

00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:18.080
 is that

00:24:18.080 --> 00:24:18.680
 possible

00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:19.200
 did you

00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:19.400
 know

00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:19.640
 that's

00:24:19.640 --> 00:24:19.820
 what was

00:24:19.820 --> 00:24:20.259
 happening

00:24:20.259 --> 00:24:20.980
 on the

00:24:20.980 --> 00:24:21.440
 cross

00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:21.680
 of

00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:22.259
 Jesus

00:24:22.259 --> 00:24:23.040
 when from

00:24:23.040 --> 00:24:23.759
 all we

00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:24.300
 could see

00:24:24.300 --> 00:24:24.920
 from all

00:24:24.920 --> 00:24:25.740
 his followers

00:24:25.740 --> 00:24:26.320
 understood

00:24:26.320 --> 00:24:27.280
 Jesus was

00:24:27.280 --> 00:24:28.060
 being defeated

00:24:28.060 --> 00:24:28.920
 what was

00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:29.759
 actually happening

00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:30.420
 is that he

00:24:30.420 --> 00:24:31.180
 was defeating

00:24:31.180 --> 00:24:32.380
 his greatest

00:24:32.380 --> 00:24:33.180
 enemies

00:24:33.180 --> 00:24:34.100
 keep reading

00:24:34.100 --> 00:24:34.800
 because

00:24:34.800 --> 00:24:35.860
 when he

00:24:35.860 --> 00:24:36.880
 was slain

00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:38.420
 by his

00:24:38.420 --> 00:24:38.860
 blood

00:24:38.860 --> 00:24:40.120
 he ransomed

00:24:40.120 --> 00:24:40.160
!

00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:40.900
 people for

00:24:40.900 --> 00:24:41.280
 God

00:24:41.280 --> 00:24:42.600
 from everywhere

00:24:42.600 --> 00:24:44.340
 at all

00:24:44.340 --> 00:24:44.900
 time

00:24:44.900 --> 00:24:46.280
 Jesus

00:24:46.280 --> 00:24:46.820
 was the

00:24:46.820 --> 00:24:47.200
 one

00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:48.540
 exchanged

00:24:48.540 --> 00:24:49.560
 to die

00:24:49.560 --> 00:24:50.400
 in our

00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:51.560
 place

00:24:51.560 --> 00:24:53.680
 and then

00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:55.240
 he rose

00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:55.940
 to live

00:24:55.940 --> 00:24:56.420
 too

00:24:56.420 --> 00:24:56.860
 aha

00:24:56.860 --> 00:24:57.680
 gotcha

00:24:57.680 --> 00:24:58.200
 Satan

00:24:58.200 --> 00:24:59.860
 didn't see

00:24:59.860 --> 00:25:00.180
 that one

00:25:00.180 --> 00:25:00.560
 coming

00:25:00.560 --> 00:25:01.600
 Jesus

00:25:01.600 --> 00:25:02.280
 brought

00:25:02.280 --> 00:25:03.100
 all of

00:25:03.100 --> 00:25:03.340
 these

00:25:03.340 --> 00:25:03.820
 people

00:25:03.820 --> 00:25:04.320
 near

00:25:04.320 --> 00:25:05.019
 to God

00:25:05.019 --> 00:25:05.620
 as his

00:25:05.620 --> 00:25:06.140
 priests

00:25:06.140 --> 00:25:06.840
 and ministers

00:25:06.840 --> 00:25:07.620
 to reign

00:25:07.620 --> 00:25:08.220
 with him

00:25:08.220 --> 00:25:08.800
 now

00:25:08.800 --> 00:25:09.660
 and forever

00:25:09.660 --> 00:25:10.040
 see

00:25:10.040 --> 00:25:10.800
 he brings

00:25:10.800 --> 00:25:11.580
 rescue

00:25:11.579 --> 00:25:12.980
 real rescue

00:25:12.980 --> 00:25:14.059
 eternal life

00:25:14.059 --> 00:25:15.339
 and power

00:25:15.339 --> 00:25:16.539
 and purpose

00:25:16.539 --> 00:25:17.359
 to those

00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:18.079
 who perhaps

00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:18.759
 never

00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:20.059
 experienced

00:25:20.059 --> 00:25:21.119
 those things

00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:21.899
 in this

00:25:21.899 --> 00:25:22.480
 life

00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:24.539
 strugglers

00:25:24.539 --> 00:25:27.039
 victims

00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:29.960
 sufferers

00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:32.240
 martyrs

00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:33.879
 Jesus

00:25:33.879 --> 00:25:35.699
 takes that

00:25:35.699 --> 00:25:36.500
 death

00:25:36.500 --> 00:25:36.879
 that we

00:25:36.879 --> 00:25:37.319
 were just

00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:38.359
 just weeping

00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:39.299
 about facing

00:25:39.299 --> 00:25:40.500
 as sinners

00:25:40.500 --> 00:25:41.160
 and he

00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:41.680
 finally

00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:42.279
 makes a

00:25:42.279 --> 00:25:42.519
 way

00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:43.539
 that justice

00:25:43.539 --> 00:25:44.819
 is satisfied

00:25:44.819 --> 00:25:46.319
 and grace

00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:47.500
 is exalted

00:25:47.500 --> 00:25:48.779
 at the same

00:25:48.779 --> 00:25:49.380
 time

00:25:49.380 --> 00:25:50.140
 death is

00:25:50.140 --> 00:25:50.579
 defeated

00:25:50.579 --> 00:25:50.920
 right

00:25:50.920 --> 00:25:51.579
 sin

00:25:51.579 --> 00:25:52.640
 is conquered

00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:53.440
 life

00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:54.420
 and blessing

00:25:54.420 --> 00:25:55.559
 are ours

00:25:55.559 --> 00:25:56.359
 forever

00:25:56.359 --> 00:25:58.880
 you starting

00:25:58.880 --> 00:25:59.400
 to see why

00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:00.119
 the lion

00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:02.240
 needed to be

00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:02.799
 a lamb

00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:05.940
 the king

00:26:05.940 --> 00:26:06.480
 needed to be

00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:07.059
 one who

00:26:07.059 --> 00:26:08.380
 died in order

00:26:08.380 --> 00:26:09.059
 to conquer

00:26:09.059 --> 00:26:11.779
 so unique

00:26:11.779 --> 00:26:15.819
 also from the

00:26:15.819 --> 00:26:16.440
 perspective of

00:26:16.440 --> 00:26:16.819
 the lamb

00:26:16.819 --> 00:26:17.519
 this is no

00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:18.720
 ordinary lamb

00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:19.299
 right

00:26:19.299 --> 00:26:21.079
 just look at

00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:21.379
 how he's

00:26:21.379 --> 00:26:21.700
 described

00:26:21.700 --> 00:26:22.359
 he's standing

00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:25.179
 with seven

00:26:25.179 --> 00:26:25.899
 horns

00:26:25.899 --> 00:26:27.299
 seven again

00:26:27.299 --> 00:26:27.899
 in revelation

00:26:27.899 --> 00:26:29.259
 completeness

00:26:29.259 --> 00:26:31.200
 in this case

00:26:31.200 --> 00:26:31.940
 complete

00:26:31.940 --> 00:26:32.879
 power

00:26:32.879 --> 00:26:34.139
 we should have

00:26:34.139 --> 00:26:34.960
 already picked

00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:35.539
 up on this

00:26:35.539 --> 00:26:36.419
 as he stood

00:26:36.419 --> 00:26:37.159
 at the throne

00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:37.920
 he is

00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:39.420
 omnipotent

00:26:39.420 --> 00:26:40.040
 right

00:26:40.040 --> 00:26:41.279
 and seven

00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:41.880
 eyes

00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:42.380
 complete

00:26:42.380 --> 00:26:43.160
 knowledge

00:26:43.160 --> 00:26:43.620
 he is

00:26:43.620 --> 00:26:44.620
 omniscient

00:26:44.620 --> 00:26:46.000
 which are

00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:46.660
 actually we're

00:26:46.660 --> 00:26:47.279
 told the

00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:48.279
 seven spirits

00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:49.259
 of God

00:26:49.259 --> 00:26:50.259
 complete

00:26:50.259 --> 00:26:51.640
 holy spirit

00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:52.759
 in all

00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:53.259
 the world

00:26:53.259 --> 00:26:54.100
 through whom

00:26:54.100 --> 00:26:55.140
 Jesus is

00:26:55.140 --> 00:26:56.320
 omnipresent

00:26:56.319 --> 00:26:57.919
 look at

00:26:57.919 --> 00:26:58.240
 this

00:27:26.339 --> 00:27:27.659
 which is

00:27:27.659 --> 00:27:28.019
 why it

00:27:28.019 --> 00:27:28.500
 denies

00:27:28.500 --> 00:27:28.839
 one of

00:27:28.839 --> 00:27:29.179
 the most

00:27:38.779 --> 00:27:39.139
 there

00:27:39.139 --> 00:27:39.379
 yeah

00:27:39.379 --> 00:27:39.699
 but he's

00:27:39.699 --> 00:27:40.339
 a prophet

00:27:40.339 --> 00:27:41.559
 in their

00:27:48.899 --> 00:27:49.259
 none

00:27:49.259 --> 00:27:49.460
 of

00:27:49.460 --> 00:27:49.740
 this

00:27:49.740 --> 00:27:50.139
 lamb

00:27:50.139 --> 00:27:50.619
 who was

00:27:50.619 --> 00:27:51.039
 slain

00:27:52.380 --> 00:27:53.520
 it can't

00:27:53.520 --> 00:27:54.080
 be both

00:27:54.080 --> 00:27:54.560
 Islam

00:27:54.560 --> 00:27:55.240
 says

00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:58.300
 probably

00:27:58.300 --> 00:27:58.660
 the other

00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:26.839
 have

00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:27.200
 both

00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:27.420
 of

00:29:27.420 --> 00:29:27.660
 them

00:29:27.660 --> 00:29:28.240
 in

00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:28.640
 him

00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:29.019
 he

00:29:29.019 --> 00:29:29.240
 is

00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:29.759
 worthy

00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:30.120
 isn't

00:29:30.120 --> 00:29:30.279
 he

00:29:30.279 --> 00:29:30.819
 then

00:29:30.819 --> 00:29:31.140
 to

00:29:31.140 --> 00:29:31.519
 break

00:29:31.519 --> 00:29:31.860
 the

00:29:31.860 --> 00:29:32.299
 seals

00:29:32.299 --> 00:29:32.740
 and

00:29:32.740 --> 00:29:33.259
 open

00:29:33.259 --> 00:29:33.759
 the

00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:34.299
 scroll

00:29:34.299 --> 00:29:35.920
 just

00:29:35.920 --> 00:29:36.140
 take

00:29:36.140 --> 00:29:36.440
 a couple

00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:36.759
 minutes

00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:37.000
 with

00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:37.160
 me

00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:37.500
 to

00:29:37.500 --> 00:29:37.920
 marvel

00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:38.200
 at

00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:39.019
 this

00:29:39.019 --> 00:29:40.059
 multifaceted

00:29:40.059 --> 00:29:40.519
 nature

00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:41.380
 of

00:29:41.380 --> 00:29:41.779
 Jesus

00:29:41.779 --> 00:29:42.279
 I

00:29:42.279 --> 00:29:42.819
 call

00:29:42.819 --> 00:29:42.980
 it

00:29:42.980 --> 00:29:43.220
 his

00:29:43.220 --> 00:29:44.339
 diversity

00:29:44.339 --> 00:29:44.940
 of

00:29:44.940 --> 00:29:46.220
 perfections

00:29:46.220 --> 00:29:46.420
 or

00:29:46.420 --> 00:29:47.380
 seemingly

00:29:47.380 --> 00:29:48.240
 disparate

00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:49.180
 characteristics

00:29:49.180 --> 00:29:49.920
 united

00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:50.920
 in

00:29:50.920 --> 00:29:51.240
 one

00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:51.880
 person

00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:53.079
 he

00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:53.240
 is

00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:53.440
 so

00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:54.200
 marvelously

00:29:54.200 --> 00:29:54.640
 unlike

00:29:54.640 --> 00:29:55.000
 anyone

00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:55.400
 else

00:29:55.400 --> 00:29:55.880
 he

00:29:55.880 --> 00:29:56.000
 is

00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:56.180
 so

00:29:56.180 --> 00:29:56.980
 completely

00:29:56.980 --> 00:29:57.880
 necessary

00:29:57.880 --> 00:29:58.839
 for

00:29:58.839 --> 00:29:59.079
 our

00:29:59.079 --> 00:29:59.600
 hope

00:29:59.600 --> 00:30:00.000
 for

00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:00.200
 our

00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:00.740
 salvation

00:30:00.740 --> 00:30:02.839
 the

00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:03.079
 lion

00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:03.319
 lamb

00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:03.720
 shows

00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:03.900
 us

00:30:03.900 --> 00:30:04.120
 this

00:30:04.120 --> 00:30:04.460
 over

00:30:04.460 --> 00:30:04.640
 and

00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:04.819
 over

00:30:04.819 --> 00:30:04.940
 I

00:30:04.940 --> 00:30:05.019
 am

00:30:05.019 --> 00:30:05.120
 going

00:30:05.120 --> 00:30:05.200
 to

00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:05.339
 just

00:30:05.339 --> 00:30:05.519
 give

00:30:05.519 --> 00:30:05.600
 you

00:30:05.600 --> 00:30:05.720
 a

00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:05.860
 few

00:30:05.860 --> 00:30:06.279
 examples

00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:06.440
 you

00:30:06.440 --> 00:30:06.519
 are

00:30:06.519 --> 00:30:06.620
 going

00:30:06.620 --> 00:30:06.720
 to

00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:06.960
 think

00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:07.120
 of

00:30:07.120 --> 00:30:07.360
 others

00:30:07.360 --> 00:30:07.839
 probably

00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:08.079
 as

00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:08.240
 I

00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:08.319
 am

00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:09.299
 talking

00:30:09.299 --> 00:30:10.380
 Jesus

00:30:10.380 --> 00:30:10.759
 the

00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:11.180
 lion

00:30:11.180 --> 00:30:11.720
 lamb

00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:11.740
!

00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:12.579
 speaks

00:30:12.579 --> 00:30:13.259
 to

00:30:13.259 --> 00:30:13.980
 create

00:30:13.980 --> 00:30:14.259
 the

00:30:14.259 --> 00:30:14.759
 world

00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:15.259
 to

00:30:15.259 --> 00:30:15.900
 calm

00:30:15.900 --> 00:30:16.360
 the

00:30:16.360 --> 00:30:16.900
 sea

00:30:16.900 --> 00:30:17.440
 like

00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:17.680
 a

00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:18.060
 lion

00:30:18.060 --> 00:30:18.740
 roaring

00:30:18.740 --> 00:30:19.340
 things

00:30:19.340 --> 00:30:19.580
 into

00:30:19.580 --> 00:30:20.200
 existence

00:30:20.200 --> 00:30:20.720
 and

00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:21.360
 submission

00:30:21.360 --> 00:30:22.140
 but

00:30:22.140 --> 00:30:22.960
 remains

00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:24.259
 silent

00:30:24.259 --> 00:30:25.580
 before

00:30:25.580 --> 00:30:25.780
 his

00:30:25.780 --> 00:30:26.500
 accusers

00:30:26.500 --> 00:30:27.360
 like

00:30:27.360 --> 00:30:27.519
 a

00:30:27.519 --> 00:30:27.900
 lamb

00:30:27.900 --> 00:30:29.000
 led

00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:29.180
 to

00:30:29.180 --> 00:30:29.360
 the

00:30:29.360 --> 00:30:29.780
 slaughter

00:30:29.780 --> 00:30:29.780


00:30:29.940 --> 00:30:30.980
 Jesus

00:30:30.980 --> 00:30:31.300
 the

00:30:31.300 --> 00:30:31.960
 lion

00:30:31.960 --> 00:30:32.340
 lamb

00:30:32.340 --> 00:30:32.940
 pronounces

00:30:32.940 --> 00:30:33.580
 curses

00:30:33.580 --> 00:30:34.140
 on the

00:30:34.140 --> 00:30:34.980
 self-reliant

00:30:34.980 --> 00:30:35.640
 religious

00:30:35.640 --> 00:30:36.180
 leaders

00:30:36.180 --> 00:30:37.220
 but

00:30:37.220 --> 00:30:37.960
 pronounces

00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:38.500
 forgiveness

00:30:38.500 --> 00:30:40.019
 to the

00:30:40.019 --> 00:30:40.400
 sinful

00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:41.180
 woman!

00:30:42.340 --> 00:30:42.620
 Jesus

00:30:42.620 --> 00:30:42.940
 the

00:30:42.940 --> 00:30:43.340
 lion

00:30:43.340 --> 00:30:43.680
 lamb

00:30:43.680 --> 00:30:44.160
 chases

00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:44.600
 away

00:30:44.599 --> 00:30:44.939
 the

00:30:44.939 --> 00:30:45.159
 money

00:30:45.159 --> 00:30:45.679
 changers

00:30:45.679 --> 00:30:45.859
 in

00:30:45.859 --> 00:30:46.000
 the

00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:46.339
 temple

00:30:46.339 --> 00:30:46.819
 with

00:30:46.819 --> 00:30:46.980
 a

00:30:46.980 --> 00:30:47.279
 whip

00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:48.039
 but

00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:48.759
 welcomes

00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:49.099
 the

00:30:49.099 --> 00:30:49.319
 little

00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:49.799
 children

00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:50.259
 up

00:30:50.259 --> 00:30:50.579
 into

00:30:50.579 --> 00:30:50.879
 his

00:30:50.879 --> 00:30:51.359
 arms

00:30:51.359 --> 00:30:51.699
 and

00:30:51.699 --> 00:30:51.919
 puts

00:30:51.919 --> 00:30:52.099
 his

00:30:52.099 --> 00:30:52.419
 hands

00:30:52.419 --> 00:30:52.639
 on

00:30:52.639 --> 00:30:52.799
 them

00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:53.099
 and

00:30:53.099 --> 00:30:53.699
 blesses

00:30:53.699 --> 00:30:54.119
 them

00:30:54.119 --> 00:30:54.939
 Jesus

00:30:54.939 --> 00:30:55.240
 the

00:30:55.240 --> 00:30:55.539
 lion

00:30:55.539 --> 00:30:55.919
 lamb

00:30:55.919 --> 00:30:56.459
 holds

00:30:56.459 --> 00:30:56.859
 all

00:30:56.859 --> 00:30:57.500
 creation

00:30:57.500 --> 00:30:58.079
 together

00:30:58.079 --> 00:30:58.759
 by the

00:30:58.759 --> 00:30:59.059
 word

00:30:59.059 --> 00:30:59.219
 of

00:30:59.219 --> 00:30:59.399
 his

00:30:59.399 --> 00:31:00.019
 power

00:31:00.019 --> 00:31:00.519
 but

00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:00.980
 trusts

00:31:00.980 --> 00:31:01.240
 his

00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:01.639
 father

00:31:01.639 --> 00:31:02.139
 too

00:31:02.139 --> 00:31:02.539
 much

00:31:02.539 --> 00:31:02.879
 to

00:31:02.879 --> 00:31:03.079
 turn

00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:03.259
 a

00:31:03.259 --> 00:31:03.539
 stone

00:31:03.539 --> 00:31:03.740
 into

00:31:03.740 --> 00:31:04.119
 bread

00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:04.319
 when

00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:04.859
 hungry

00:31:04.859 --> 00:31:04.879
!

00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:06.879
 Jesus

00:31:06.879 --> 00:31:07.139
 the

00:31:07.139 --> 00:31:07.439
 lion

00:31:07.439 --> 00:31:07.899
 lamb

00:31:07.899 --> 00:31:07.899


00:31:07.899 --> 00:31:08.480
 rides

00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:08.679
 into

00:31:08.679 --> 00:31:09.299
 Jerusalem

00:31:09.299 --> 00:31:09.579
 to

00:31:09.579 --> 00:31:09.980
 shouts

00:31:09.980 --> 00:31:10.359
 of

00:31:10.359 --> 00:31:10.959
 Hosanna

00:31:10.959 --> 00:31:11.439
 from

00:31:11.439 --> 00:31:11.639
 the

00:31:11.639 --> 00:31:12.099
 crowds

00:31:12.099 --> 00:31:12.480
 but

00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:12.860
 draws

00:31:12.860 --> 00:31:13.400
 away

00:31:13.400 --> 00:31:13.759
 from

00:31:13.759 --> 00:31:13.940
 the

00:31:13.940 --> 00:31:14.460
 admiring

00:31:14.460 --> 00:31:15.039
 crowds

00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:15.259
 who

00:31:15.259 --> 00:31:15.480
 want

00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:15.640
 to

00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:15.860
 make

00:31:15.860 --> 00:31:16.039
 him

00:31:16.039 --> 00:31:16.440
 king

00:31:16.440 --> 00:31:16.880
 so

00:31:16.880 --> 00:31:17.039
 that

00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:17.140
 he

00:31:17.140 --> 00:31:17.339
 can

00:31:17.339 --> 00:31:17.960
 pray

00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:19.880
 Jesus

00:31:19.880 --> 00:31:20.200
 the

00:31:20.200 --> 00:31:20.500
 lion

00:31:20.500 --> 00:31:20.900
 lamb

00:31:20.900 --> 00:31:21.380
 knows

00:31:21.380 --> 00:31:21.539
 that

00:31:21.539 --> 00:31:21.839
 all

00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:22.360
 authority

00:35:32.920 --> 00:35:33.539
 option

00:35:33.539 --> 00:35:33.940
 you have

00:35:33.940 --> 00:35:34.199
 is to

00:35:34.199 --> 00:35:34.679
 enjoy

00:35:34.679 --> 00:35:35.280
 today

00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:35.780
 because

00:35:35.780 --> 00:35:36.280
 eventually

00:35:36.280 --> 00:35:37.039
 nothingness

00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:37.659
 is going

00:35:37.659 --> 00:35:37.960
 to

00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:38.780
 overtake

00:35:38.780 --> 00:35:39.019
 you

00:35:39.019 --> 00:35:39.679
 tears

00:35:39.679 --> 00:35:39.739
 tears

00:35:39.739 --> 00:35:40.279
 are

00:35:40.279 --> 00:35:40.679
 all

00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:40.879
 there

00:35:40.879 --> 00:35:41.359
 is

00:35:41.359 --> 00:35:43.940
 John

00:35:43.940 --> 00:35:44.199
 says

00:35:44.199 --> 00:35:44.539
 something

00:35:44.539 --> 00:35:45.159
 different

00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:46.940
 he

00:35:46.940 --> 00:35:47.139
 says

00:35:47.139 --> 00:35:47.460
 take

00:35:47.460 --> 00:35:47.659
 your

00:35:47.659 --> 00:35:48.139
 tears

00:35:48.139 --> 00:35:49.259
 to

00:35:49.259 --> 00:35:49.739
 Jesus

00:35:49.739 --> 00:35:52.500
 do you

00:35:52.500 --> 00:35:52.819
 feel the

00:35:52.819 --> 00:35:53.199
 world is

00:35:53.199 --> 00:35:53.599
 broken

00:35:53.599 --> 00:35:56.379
 we do

00:35:56.379 --> 00:35:57.639
 is all

00:35:57.639 --> 00:35:58.279
 creation

00:35:58.279 --> 00:35:59.079
 groaning

00:35:59.079 --> 00:36:01.759
 it is

00:36:01.759 --> 00:36:02.639
 you're not

00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:03.039
 alone

00:36:03.039 --> 00:36:04.460
 so take

00:36:04.460 --> 00:36:05.259
 your tears

00:36:05.259 --> 00:36:06.480
 of grief

00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:07.559
 and pain

00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:07.900
 your

00:36:07.900 --> 00:36:08.360
 your

00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:09.380
 longings

00:36:09.380 --> 00:36:09.639
 for

00:36:09.639 --> 00:36:10.259
 reunion

00:36:10.259 --> 00:36:11.099
 and

00:36:11.099 --> 00:36:11.880
 restoration

00:36:11.880 --> 00:36:12.920
 your

00:36:12.920 --> 00:36:13.880
 groanings

00:36:13.880 --> 00:36:14.300
 against

00:36:14.300 --> 00:36:15.279
 injustice

00:36:15.279 --> 00:36:16.039
 and

00:36:16.039 --> 00:36:16.900
 division

00:36:16.900 --> 00:36:17.659
 take

00:36:17.659 --> 00:36:18.099
 them all

00:36:18.099 --> 00:36:18.440
 to

00:36:18.440 --> 00:36:18.940
 Jesus

00:36:18.940 --> 00:36:19.579
 and you

00:36:19.579 --> 00:36:19.960
 can say

00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:20.659
 I don't

00:36:20.659 --> 00:36:21.219
 understand

00:36:21.219 --> 00:36:21.599
 Jesus

00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:22.199
 what you're

00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:22.699
 doing

00:36:22.699 --> 00:36:23.559
 most days

00:36:23.559 --> 00:36:25.019
 but you've

00:36:25.019 --> 00:36:25.679
 you've been

00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:25.920
 through

00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:27.119
 even death

00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:27.779
 and have

00:36:27.779 --> 00:36:28.259
 shown me

00:36:28.259 --> 00:36:29.039
 even death

00:36:29.039 --> 00:36:29.599
 is not the

00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:30.420
 end of the

00:36:30.420 --> 00:36:30.860
 story

00:36:30.860 --> 00:36:32.039
 that you

00:36:32.039 --> 00:36:32.599
 have the

00:36:32.599 --> 00:36:33.099
 scroll

00:36:33.099 --> 00:36:33.800
 in your

00:36:33.800 --> 00:36:34.320
 hand

00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:34.980
 when I

00:36:34.980 --> 00:36:35.659
 don't

00:36:35.659 --> 00:36:36.340
 so you

00:36:36.340 --> 00:36:36.960
 must be

00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:37.300
 working

00:36:37.300 --> 00:36:37.900
 things to

00:36:37.900 --> 00:36:38.180
 your

00:36:38.180 --> 00:36:39.000
 glory

00:36:39.000 --> 00:36:40.420
 and to

00:36:40.420 --> 00:36:41.119
 my good

00:36:41.119 --> 00:36:41.680
 even when

00:36:41.680 --> 00:36:42.180
 the things

00:36:42.180 --> 00:36:42.760
 themselves

00:36:42.760 --> 00:36:43.500
 are not

00:36:43.500 --> 00:36:43.920
 good

00:36:43.920 --> 00:36:45.700
 you're

00:36:45.700 --> 00:36:46.240
 making

00:36:46.240 --> 00:36:46.639
 them

00:36:46.639 --> 00:36:47.519
 you promise

00:36:47.519 --> 00:36:47.800
 me

00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:48.420
 so that

00:36:48.420 --> 00:36:49.059
 I really

00:36:49.059 --> 00:36:49.500
 will

00:36:49.500 --> 00:36:50.039
 weep

00:36:50.039 --> 00:36:50.599
 no

00:36:50.599 --> 00:36:51.420
 more

00:36:51.420 --> 00:36:54.139
 you can

00:36:54.139 --> 00:36:54.579
 say that

00:36:54.579 --> 00:36:55.079
 to Jesus

00:36:55.079 --> 00:36:55.460
 you see

00:36:55.460 --> 00:36:55.860
 how that

00:36:55.860 --> 00:36:56.460
 doesn't

00:36:56.460 --> 00:36:56.920
 doesn't

00:36:56.920 --> 00:36:57.360
 belittle

00:36:57.360 --> 00:36:58.260
 your tears

00:36:58.260 --> 00:37:00.480
 or give

00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:00.980
 your tears

00:37:00.980 --> 00:37:01.540
 the last

00:37:01.540 --> 00:37:02.020
 word

00:37:02.020 --> 00:37:04.060
 that's what

00:37:04.060 --> 00:37:05.060
 Jesus does

00:37:05.060 --> 00:37:06.080
 with your

00:37:06.080 --> 00:37:06.440
 tears

00:37:06.440 --> 00:37:06.900
 that's why

00:37:06.900 --> 00:37:07.780
 we bring

00:37:07.780 --> 00:37:08.340
 our tears

00:37:08.340 --> 00:37:09.120
 to him

00:37:09.120 --> 00:37:10.100
 as a part

00:37:10.100 --> 00:37:10.440
 of our

00:37:10.440 --> 00:37:11.360
 worship

00:37:11.360 --> 00:37:11.960
 right

00:37:11.960 --> 00:37:13.160
 only a

00:37:13.160 --> 00:37:14.040
 tender

00:37:14.040 --> 00:37:14.700
 lion

00:37:14.700 --> 00:37:15.260
 or a

00:37:15.260 --> 00:37:15.920
 strong

00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:16.380
 lamb

00:37:16.380 --> 00:37:17.460
 can actually

00:37:17.460 --> 00:37:18.260
 help us

00:37:18.260 --> 00:37:18.900
 we need

00:37:18.900 --> 00:37:19.240
 someone

00:37:19.240 --> 00:37:19.780
 loving

00:37:19.780 --> 00:37:20.140
 enough

00:37:20.140 --> 00:37:20.880
 to care

00:37:20.880 --> 00:37:21.120
 about

00:37:21.120 --> 00:37:21.280
 our

00:37:21.280 --> 00:37:21.960
 predicament

00:37:21.960 --> 00:37:22.380
 our

00:37:22.380 --> 00:37:22.920
 pain

00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:23.380
 our

00:37:23.380 --> 00:37:24.040
 tears

00:37:24.040 --> 00:37:25.020
 and

00:37:25.020 --> 00:37:25.680
 strong

00:37:25.680 --> 00:37:26.080
 enough

00:37:26.080 --> 00:37:27.460
 to fix

00:37:27.460 --> 00:37:27.760
 it

00:37:27.760 --> 00:37:28.619
 to heal

00:37:28.619 --> 00:37:28.800
 it

00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:29.539
 to wipe

00:37:29.539 --> 00:37:29.720
 them

00:37:29.720 --> 00:37:30.240
 away

00:37:30.240 --> 00:37:30.960
 Jesus

00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:31.440
 doesn't

00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:31.800
 minimize

00:37:31.800 --> 00:37:32.460
 the hurt

00:37:32.460 --> 00:37:33.320
 or lose

00:37:33.320 --> 00:37:33.579
 sight

00:37:33.579 --> 00:37:33.880
 of the

00:37:33.880 --> 00:37:34.300
 hope

00:37:34.300 --> 00:37:35.880
 take

00:37:35.880 --> 00:37:36.059
 your

00:37:36.059 --> 00:37:36.720
 tears

00:37:36.720 --> 00:37:37.340
 your

00:37:37.340 --> 00:37:38.199
 groanings

00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:39.159
 and hurts

00:37:39.159 --> 00:37:39.420
 your

00:37:39.420 --> 00:37:39.860
 your

00:37:39.860 --> 00:37:40.599
 longings

00:37:40.599 --> 00:37:40.900
 and your

00:37:40.900 --> 00:37:41.420
 prayers

00:37:41.420 --> 00:37:42.860
 to Jesus

00:37:42.860 --> 00:37:44.980
 and know

00:37:44.980 --> 00:37:45.360
 that one

00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:45.820
 day you

00:37:45.820 --> 00:37:46.539
 will weep

00:37:46.539 --> 00:37:47.199
 no

00:37:47.199 --> 00:37:48.119
 more

00:37:48.119 --> 00:37:49.619
 for one

00:37:49.619 --> 00:37:50.019
 reason

00:37:50.019 --> 00:37:52.019
 because

00:37:52.019 --> 00:37:52.720
 the lion

00:37:52.720 --> 00:37:53.440
 of Judah

00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:54.980
 the lamb

00:37:54.980 --> 00:37:55.659
 who was

00:37:55.659 --> 00:37:56.320
 slain

00:37:56.320 --> 00:37:57.860
 is worthy

00:37:57.860 --> 00:37:59.160
 let's pray

00:37:59.160 --> 00:38:02.260
 Jesus

00:38:02.260 --> 00:38:02.980
 that's our

00:38:02.980 --> 00:38:03.620
 only hope

00:38:03.620 --> 00:38:06.080
 we know

00:38:06.080 --> 00:38:06.880
 none other

00:38:06.880 --> 00:38:09.280
 who can

00:38:09.280 --> 00:38:10.100
 wipe away

00:38:10.100 --> 00:38:10.680
 our tears

00:38:10.680 --> 00:38:12.760
 who can

00:38:12.760 --> 00:38:13.519
 set things

00:38:13.519 --> 00:38:13.960
 right

00:38:13.960 --> 00:38:16.059
 and so

00:38:16.059 --> 00:38:16.760
 we ask

00:38:16.760 --> 00:38:17.420
 you to

00:38:17.420 --> 00:38:18.340
 show yourself

00:38:18.340 --> 00:38:18.920
 big

00:38:18.920 --> 00:38:19.820
 and great

00:38:19.820 --> 00:38:21.240
 and glorious

00:38:21.239 --> 00:38:23.579
 and near

00:38:23.579 --> 00:38:25.879
 and compassionate

00:38:25.879 --> 00:38:27.699
 and merciful

00:38:27.699 --> 00:38:30.899
 worthy

00:38:30.899 --> 00:38:33.039
 and we

00:38:33.039 --> 00:38:33.539
 want to

00:38:33.539 --> 00:38:34.399
 give you

00:38:34.399 --> 00:38:35.199
 that praise

00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:36.059
 now in this

00:38:36.059 --> 00:38:36.419
 moment

00:38:36.419 --> 00:38:37.059
 we want that

00:38:37.059 --> 00:38:37.459
 to be

00:38:37.459 --> 00:38:38.579
 the way

00:38:38.579 --> 00:38:39.500
 our lives

00:38:39.500 --> 00:38:40.299
 work

00:38:40.299 --> 00:38:40.839
 that we

00:38:40.839 --> 00:38:42.039
 look to you

00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:42.659
 and we point

00:38:42.659 --> 00:38:43.639
 others to you

00:38:43.639 --> 00:38:44.279
 because you're

00:38:44.279 --> 00:38:44.879
 the one who's

00:38:44.879 --> 00:38:45.339
 worthy

00:38:45.339 --> 00:38:46.299
 and so

00:38:46.299 --> 00:38:46.959
 stir in our

00:38:46.959 --> 00:38:47.299
 hearts

00:38:47.299 --> 00:38:48.279
 the praise

00:38:48.280 --> 00:38:48.760
 of heaven

00:38:48.760 --> 00:38:50.620
 we ask in

00:38:50.620 --> 00:38:51.060
 your name
