00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:15.599
 Hi, my name is George Sinclair. I'm the lead pastor of Church of the Messiah.

00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:20.480
! It is wonderful that you would like to check out some of the sermons done by Church of the Messiah,

00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:25.679
 either by myself or some of the others. Listen, just a couple of things. First of all, would you pray for us

00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:32.159
 that we will open God's Word well to His glory and for the good of people like yourself?

00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:37.359
 The second thing is, if you aren't connected to a church and if you are a Christian,

00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:42.159
 we really, I would really like to encourage you to find a good local church where they believe the

00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:48.799
 Bible, they preach the gospel, and if you have some trouble finding that, send us an email. We will do

00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:55.120
 what we can to help connect you with a good local church wherever you are. And if you're a non-Christian,

00:00:55.119 --> 00:01:00.320
 checking us out, we're really, really, really glad you're doing that. Don't hesitate to send us

00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:05.280
 questions. It helps me actually to know, as I'm preaching, how to deal with the types of things

00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:07.759
 that you're really struggling with. So God bless.

00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:14.879
 Let's just bow our heads in prayer.

00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:27.119
 Father, Father, you know how we can live our lives, our entire lives with ourselves, and yet often we

00:01:27.119 --> 00:01:34.399
 don't understand ourselves at all. And you know, Father, how this comes out when your Word describes

00:01:34.399 --> 00:01:41.840
 to us how we really are. And we don't like the description. We don't recognize ourselves. We think we

00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:48.480
 see other people, but not ourselves. So Father, we ask that you would, in your kindness and mercy and

00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:57.439
 goodness towards us, that your Holy Spirit would gently bring the words of your words into our hearts,

00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:03.920
 into the center of who we are, into our imaginations, our memories, our minds, our wills, our desires,

00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:09.520
 and our hearts, and our hearts. So that we might not only recognize ourselves, but more and more recognize

00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:15.840
 our profound and deep need for Jesus, for who He is and all that He accomplished for us on the cross.

00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:20.879
 And so we ask that your Holy Spirit would do that gentle but important work in each of our lives.

00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:26.000
 And we ask this in Jesus's name. Amen. Please be seated.

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:35.280
 So, very few knew this at the time. And since then, I don't know how many people know about this,

00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:44.319
 but I had a cancer scare at the end of January. I was sick off and on, like sort of getting better,

00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:49.920
 and then a little bit worse, and off and on. I had a cold, obviously, you know, all the way through

00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:53.840
 January, it seemed. And then towards the end of January, I can't remember the dates, it doesn't really

00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:59.120
 matter. You know, my wife said, George, you should go see a doctor. It might be something more than just,

00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:03.759
 you know, having a cold that just doesn't go away, or that grandkids keep giving back to you.

00:03:04.640 --> 00:03:14.800
 You know, grandkids are perfectly designed germ disposal units, actually. But I went to a doctor

00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:20.560
 on a Monday in the afternoon, and he looked at me, listened to my chest, said, you got pneumonia.

00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:28.800
 But he said to make sure you should go have an x-ray. So, I went on Tuesday around five-ish to get an

00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:35.280
 x-ray. And I discovered the next day, that's Thursday, but I discovered on Wednesday, as soon

00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:41.599
 as my doctor saw the x-rays, he called up the Queensway-Carleton Hospital for me to have a CT scan.

00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:47.360
 Because, yeah, I definitely had pneumonia, but I might also have had some type of

00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:56.560
 thing in there that could be sinister. And I didn't discover this until Thursday, because I missed an

00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:02.880
 email from him. But I got a call from the Queensway-Carleton Hospital saying that the doctor had

00:04:02.880 --> 00:04:08.560
 requested that I get a CT scan, and the earliest they could give me one was a week after that.

00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:15.520
 So, obviously, I was in shock. I've been around people for a long time. I've been a minister for 40

00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:21.920
 years. And I know many, many stories of people going in for an x-ray, and then getting immediately,

00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:25.759
 the doctor wanting something, calling them into the hospital or something really quick. Generally,

00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:29.360
 when you go really quick from an x-ray to something like a CT scan really quick,

00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:38.160
 the news isn't good as a general rule. And so, I confess, I was shocked. I said I wanted to call

00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:43.360
 out my doctor's office. And I'm not going to tell you that I'm just a perfectly always balanced stoic

00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:49.120
 type of guy. It was a blow, like getting a punch in the stomach. And I was in shock a bit about it.

00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:56.720
 Called my doctor's office. They had my doctor text me. I accepted the appointment. And then after that,

00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.880
 I think I was pretty calm about it, at least on the surface. Probably at a deeper level,

00:05:00.880 --> 00:05:07.920
 I was more worried about it. But they wanted to have a CT scan. And just to cut to the end of it,

00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:12.560
 by the way, I'm telling you all of this because it's, this story is going to actually really help

00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:17.840
 us to understand this very difficult text that we're going to look at in a moment. But just so you

00:05:17.840 --> 00:05:25.680
 know, it turned out that with the CT scan, I didn't have a lump. I didn't have cancer. And my kids knew,

00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:30.079
 and my wife knew obviously, I didn't tell people in the congregation, by and large. I didn't want

00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:35.920
 people to call me up every day and ask me whether I had it. My attitude during it was a little bit,

00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:41.280
 although I'm sure at one level, I was worried that I, if, first of all, I prayed that the cancer go

00:05:41.280 --> 00:05:45.519
 away. So who knows, maybe in heaven, we'll find out that there was cancer there. And I prayed that it

00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:50.160
 would go away. And it did, where my kids did, that went away. And we'll find that out in heaven,

00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:55.920
 just when they did the CT scan, there was no, no, nothing there. No, no bat, no foreign thing

00:05:55.920 --> 00:06:01.200
 that shouldn't be there was there. I also would have just taken it as part of God's providence that

00:06:01.200 --> 00:06:06.879
 he used the pneumonia to find something early that could then be, be more likely to be healed.

00:06:07.840 --> 00:06:13.280
 But I'm going to return to this as we go into the sermon. But this whole thing of a diagnosis and a

00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:20.079
 CT scan and seen accurately is really important for us to understand what is on the surface,

00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:24.559
 quite a difficult text. So it'd be very helpful to me if you would take your Bibles out and we're

00:06:24.559 --> 00:06:31.439
 going to look at Romans chapter three, verses one to 20. Romans chapter three, verses one to 20.

00:06:32.159 --> 00:06:38.719
 And, um, uh, where it is, right, uh, is, uh, there's some opening remarks, then the summary statement,

00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:45.120
 uh, the summary statement is the, the gospel is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes

00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:50.720
 and then, uh, about how to be made right with God and God showing to be just. And then immediately

00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:55.920
 from verse 18 to the end of this chapter three, verse 20, Paul sells the problem. Why is it that

00:06:55.920 --> 00:07:01.280
 human beings, what is it about human beings? What is it about the human condition that means that we

00:07:01.280 --> 00:07:08.240
 really need God to have done something for us and that that can come with his power to change us?

00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:13.040
 Why is it that we need this? And so what Paul has been doing has been selling the problem.

00:07:13.840 --> 00:07:18.720
 And this is sort of the conclusion of him selling the problem. And interestingly enough,

00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:23.439
 even at, well, let's just look how he begins. It begins in a way that we don't realize that even this,

00:07:23.840 --> 00:07:30.079
 everything that Paul does is an attempt to help us to understand the human condition.

00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:35.120
 And when I say the human condition, I mean, I don't mean your condition. I mean, I do mean your

00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:40.560
 condition. I also mean my condition. Like, what am I really like? And so look how it begins. Chapter

00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:46.160
 three, verse one, then what advantage has the Jew, the Jewish person, or what is the value of

00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:51.840
 circumcision? Uh, the way that you become a Jew and the mark that you're Jewish, uh, at least for men,

00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:56.959
 it's a mark of the Jewish community. Uh, then what advantage has the Jew? Well, here's the thing.

00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:01.920
 It's a really interesting thing, the way he, he words this right towards the end, because what he's done,

00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:06.000
 if you follow through and you try to listen to the sermons and you read it, he's really, he said,

00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:10.240
 listen, here's the thing about it. Everybody has a basic sense that there has to be a God that does

00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:17.040
 exist. Every human being denies this. Every human being represses it. Every human being exchanges the

00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:23.600
 truth about God for a lie and for idols. And we're all idol worshipers. And that even if God used your

00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:29.040
 own standards to judge you, you can't even live up to your own standards. And even good people,

00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:34.480
 their hypocrisy isn't just an accidental thing about a human, that those particular human beings,

00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:40.240
 that hypocrisy is a sign of the human condition. And, and he's really been just showing time and

00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:45.360
 time again, how, uh, you know, we're not nearly as good as we think we are. And we really are very,

00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:51.360
 very far from God. He's given a moral list of 21 different, uh, vices and no human being could look

00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:57.120
 at those vices and think that they haven't broken many of them many, many, many, many times.

00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:02.159
 And so now he comes and he's even now showing that good people need the gospel, very moral people and

00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:07.120
 religious and spiritual people need the gospel. And so the next thing that he's sort of just

00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:12.399
 imagining what the average human being would say is, okay, well, okay, Jewish people, like,

00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:16.560
 do they have an advantage? Well, why do they say that? If you could put up the first point clear,

00:09:16.560 --> 00:09:24.240
 that would be helpful. Humans seek advantage and benefit and complain about advantage and benefit.

00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:34.000
 Uh, uh, uh, advantage and benefit. Now you might think, I don't know, George,

00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:37.759
 I don't even know what you're talking about. Well, I'll illustrate what I mean by this.

00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:44.320
 Let's say one of you, uh, you develop a really, really, really seriously bad knee condition or hip

00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:49.600
 condition, and you need to get a heat, a knee replacement or a hip replacement. And then the

00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:55.040
 doctors saying, I don't know, this being Canada, well, I don't know, uh, given that your pain level

00:09:55.040 --> 00:10:00.480
 and giving the waiting list, uh, the good news is in two and a half years, you can have surgery.

00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:04.560
 That's the good news. Two and a half years surgery. I mean, the really good news is it's going to be

00:10:04.560 --> 00:10:08.960
 free, but you're gonna have to wait two and a half years. Well, meanwhile, day by day, you're going

00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:14.240
 through the pain of your knee or the pain of your hip. And then one day you discover that my daughter

00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:19.279
 has moved back to, by the way, I'm just, my daughter, my daughter is not a surgeon, but I'm just using this

00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:24.960
 as an illustration. One day you discover that my daughter has moved back to Ottawa and my daughter

00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:33.200
 is the best orthopedic surgeon in Canada. The best orthopedic surgeon in Canada. And you discover that.

00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:39.200
 And you know me, I'm your pastor, and you think I can get an advantage.

00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:50.400
 Pastor, could you introduce me to your daughter, the orthopedic surgeon, to see if she would maybe

00:10:50.400 --> 00:10:57.440
 move me from two and a half years to two and a half weeks? Now, of course, none of us would do this,

00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:02.879
 of course. Like, none of us would even have that enter our mind. In fact, all of us would say to the

00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:07.680
 doctors, hey, listen, other people probably need the knee surgery more than us. I'll wait five years,

00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:12.959
 right? That's what we'd all think. No. We'd want advantage. And what always goes with advantage

00:11:12.959 --> 00:11:18.879
 is benefit, which Paul's going to mention again in a few verses. It's implied. Now, here's the other

00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:25.479
 thing. We all, if the rubber hits the road, we all want advantage and to benefit from it. But here's

00:11:25.479 --> 00:11:30.579
 the other thing about it. What do we think about a system where certain people have advantage and

00:11:30.580 --> 00:11:40.259
 benefits? Systems corrupt. It's not fair. Why on earth is there a system where, you know,

00:11:41.620 --> 00:11:46.340
 I'm going to get in really trouble. This isn't a political comment. Years ago, a doctor friend of

00:11:46.340 --> 00:11:50.500
 mine said, of course, Canada has two-tier medical. And I said, no, it doesn't. He said, yeah, yeah,

00:11:50.500 --> 00:11:54.740
 yeah. Why did he ever notice that hockey players don't have to wait as long for an MRI as you do?

00:11:54.740 --> 00:12:00.120
 We're politicians. We have an unofficial two-tier health system in Canada. Anyway, that's the end

00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:05.360
 of it. I've now gotten in trouble. You've all gone off on a whole. I should probably have not said that.

00:12:05.460 --> 00:12:10.259
 But here's the thing. That's exactly what we would think, right? That on one hand, if we can get that

00:12:10.259 --> 00:12:16.480
 advantage and benefit, we get it. But on the other hand, if we hear that our neighbor got it, because

00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:22.560
 in fact, George doesn't have a daughter who's a surgeon, the top orthopedic surgeon in Canada,

00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:27.179
 we think there's something wrong with the system. And so this is very interesting. He's once again

00:12:27.179 --> 00:12:32.899
 revealing something about the human condition. We hear all of these things. Our situation is dismal.

00:12:33.579 --> 00:12:37.479
 Okay, but maybe there's an advantage I can get. Like I heard about these Jewish people,

00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:43.259
 and maybe if I just become Jewish, I get that advantage and benefit. So how does Paul handle that?

00:12:43.339 --> 00:12:49.419
 And that whole back and forth, it all comes up in the next few verses. Look how he does it. Both the idea

00:12:49.419 --> 00:12:57.860
 of maybe I can get it. And also that if I don't get it, it's a problem with God, right? Because he gives

00:12:57.860 --> 00:13:02.799
 it to other people. And Paul really handles this very beautifully. Look at, read again from verse one.

00:13:04.019 --> 00:13:08.959
 Then what advantage has the Jew, the person who's Jewish? Or what is the value of circumcision?

00:13:09.500 --> 00:13:15.120
 Much in every way. Oh, our hopes go up. But he then surprises us to begin with,

00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:21.620
 the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God. And that literally means the very words of God.

00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:27.960
 It's once again why historically Christians believe that when you read the Bible, you're reading the

00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:33.860
 actual words that God wanted to have spoken. And of all of the words in all of the world that have

00:13:33.860 --> 00:13:39.360
 ever been spoken, only the words in the Bible are the words that God actually wanted to speak.

00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:43.759
 And that's what we're hearing. And he said, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God.

00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:49.399
 And then verse three, what if some were unfaithful? So some people might say, okay, one moment,

00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:56.600
 how is this an advantage? Like, okay, that's their advantage? But if that's an advantage, well,

00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:03.180
 look what they're thinking. What if some were unfaithful? And then Paul says, or they, Paul says back,

00:14:03.179 --> 00:14:11.939
 does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God? By no means. Let God be true, though everyone

00:14:11.939 --> 00:14:18.299
 were a liar. As it is written, and he quotes the Bible, that you may be justified in your words and

00:14:18.299 --> 00:14:27.779
 prevail when you are judged. Now, what Paul is doing here is he's setting up, in a sense, the God's logic

00:14:27.779 --> 00:14:36.019
 of redemption, and God's logic towards freedom and wholeness and hope. And he's starting to introduce

00:14:36.019 --> 00:14:42.100
 this, how God's logic works, not how human logic works, but how God's logic works. Human logic,

00:14:42.779 --> 00:14:47.120
 well, you know, if you put up the second point, that would be very helpful. What he's just said,

00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:55.279
 he's acknowledged that, I mean, you read the Old Testament, the Old Testament regularly says to

00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:58.559
 the Jewish people, by the way, just so you know, God didn't choose you because you're the smartest,

00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:04.779
 the best, the wisest, or anything like that. That's not why I chose you, you know? In fact,

00:15:04.819 --> 00:15:10.179
 it's an early advantage of how God chooses the weak and the small to shame the strong and the powerful.

00:15:10.299 --> 00:15:18.659
 It's a very part of God's logic. But here's the thing. What he's just said is that despite human

00:15:18.659 --> 00:15:28.079
 beings being sinful, disinterested, and hostile to God, and hostile, God caused his word written to be a

00:15:28.079 --> 00:15:36.939
 public revelation. I'll say that again. Despite humans being sinful, disinterested, and hostile to God,

00:15:38.079 --> 00:15:44.860
 God caused his word written to be a public revelation. That's what he's saying here.

00:15:44.860 --> 00:15:53.600
 That, and by the way, a bit of an aside, this is part of the reason why Roman Catholics and Eastern

00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:58.960
 Orthodox are confused about thinking you have to have a sort of a, sometimes almost like a perfect

00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:05.159
 church to receive God's word, is that God makes it clear here that it's sinful, fallen human beings

00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:10.779
 that recognize public revelation, because it's God who does it. It's not because he needs us to be

00:16:10.779 --> 00:16:16.439
 perfect in any type of way whatsoever. Despite our sinfulness, despite our hostility to God,

00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:22.159
 despite at other times when we're completely, utterly disinterested, God was able to make sure

00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:29.059
 that his word was spoken, recognized, and preserved. And his word is a public revelation.

00:16:29.459 --> 00:16:34.559
 That's, I don't talk about this enough, but it's spectacular news. It's not some type of private

00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:40.159
 meditation thing that just comes to the enlightened and the anointed, some secret thing that he just

00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:44.000
 touches some people and they have a mystical experience and then they hear from God. No, no, no.

00:16:44.899 --> 00:16:50.979
 You know, if you get the Bible app, I think the Bible app now makes the Bible available in like

00:16:50.979 --> 00:16:59.459
 almost 1900 translations. Like it's completely public and open. Kids can read it. Intellectuals can read it.

00:16:59.460 --> 00:17:05.519
 Concrete finishers can read it. It's not secret and hidden and protected by some institution. It's a

00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:12.559
 public revelation. And that's what's so beautiful here. Now, the next thing though, in terms of how

00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:20.120
 they respond, it's really interesting. It's a very, very clever way of responding, but it also opens the

00:17:20.120 --> 00:17:28.299
 door to a profoundly Canadian problem. Because the way Canadians think about morality, the way most

00:17:28.299 --> 00:17:36.379
 Canadians think about right and wrong, they have a Jeffrey Epstein problem on steroids. You know,

00:17:36.419 --> 00:17:43.720
 Jeffrey Epstein, the one who's convicted of luring and trafficking of underage girls and others to the

00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:51.000
 rich and the powerful. Look at verse 5. But if our unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of

00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:58.740
 God, what shall we say? That God is unrighteous to inflict wrath on us? I speak in a human way.

00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:05.640
 By no means, for then how could God judge the world? But if through my lie God's truth abounds

00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:10.579
 to his glory, why am I still being condemned as a sinner? And why not do evil that good may come?

00:18:10.579 --> 00:18:15.899
 As some people slanderously charges with saying their condemnation is just.

00:18:20.699 --> 00:18:22.500
 Shortly before he went into jail,

00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:25.960
 Jeffrey Epstein did an interview, and in that interview,

00:18:26.339 --> 00:18:28.099
 he basically said he's a good man.

00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:32.460
 And why is he a good man? Well, how is it that the average Canadian

00:18:32.460 --> 00:18:33.839
 thinks about right and wrong?

00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:38.319
 The average Canadian thinks about right and wrong is you can take my acts,

00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:41.740
 and even those things that I do that are wrong. And you need to look at the good consequences,

00:18:41.980 --> 00:18:44.639
 and you balance the good consequences and the bad consequences.

00:18:45.859 --> 00:18:49.700
 Another way is you can't really think of right and wrong as really being any type of absolute.

00:18:49.819 --> 00:18:54.779
 You've got to look in terms of the overall good or the overall bad that flows from it.

00:18:54.819 --> 00:18:58.220
 And that's how you determine what is right and wrong. And that's how most Canadians think.

00:18:58.220 --> 00:19:03.740
 They get very uncomfortable when people like Christians, like us, say,

00:19:03.879 --> 00:19:06.700
 well, actually, no, some things are right and some things are wrong.

00:19:06.700 --> 00:19:09.400
 It doesn't matter if you do a wrong thing.

00:19:09.620 --> 00:19:12.519
 And I mean, it matters on one level, but not in terms of the wrongness of it,

00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:13.779
 if good things follow.

00:19:14.580 --> 00:19:16.600
 And Jeffrey Epstein, believe it or not, said,

00:19:17.380 --> 00:19:19.700
 now, he probably was lying about this, by the way,

00:19:19.819 --> 00:19:21.279
 but he said, I funded,

00:19:22.940 --> 00:19:30.360
 I've done major funding to try to eradicate childhood polio in Pakistan and India.

00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:36.519
 And if you balance all of the good that comes from that with the evil I've done,

00:19:37.139 --> 00:19:40.219
 you will have to conclude that I'm a good man.

00:19:44.379 --> 00:19:47.559
 Canadians' understanding of right and wrong has a Jeffrey Epstein problem.

00:19:50.379 --> 00:19:52.119
 Because our gut would say,

00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:54.219
 no, no, no, no, no, no, what he did was wrong.

00:19:54.220 --> 00:19:59.200
 What he did was absolutely, horrifically, terribly wrong.

00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:01.500
 It is wrong, wrong, wrong.

00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:04.339
 If you don't say that, you're wrong.

00:20:05.420 --> 00:20:07.420
 And I don't even know if you really believe it.

00:20:08.420 --> 00:20:10.259
 And in a sense, as soon as somebody says,

00:20:10.360 --> 00:20:11.700
 in the face of a Jeffrey Epstein,

00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:14.920
 and maybe claiming that the amount of good he brings

00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:18.860
 by trying to eradicate childhood polio in Pakistan and India

00:20:18.859 --> 00:20:23.419
 outweighs the horrible things he did and furthered,

00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:25.199
 and you want to say that it's wrong,

00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:26.979
 you're on the Christian side of the playing field.

00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:30.039
 You're understanding that ultimately,

00:20:30.299 --> 00:20:32.539
 it's because there is a God who's good at all things,

00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:33.699
 who is good,

00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:37.519
 and that goodness determines what is good and what is bad.

00:20:37.879 --> 00:20:39.799
 And it's just bad.

00:20:40.059 --> 00:20:42.000
 And if you start to actually really think

00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:44.000
 that it's always a matter of benefits and all,

00:20:44.059 --> 00:20:46.359
 and you can see increasingly in our press,

00:20:46.359 --> 00:20:49.019
 there's things wrong in our justice system

00:20:49.019 --> 00:20:50.839
 with discounting things

00:20:50.839 --> 00:20:53.000
 because of certain types of racial things

00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:54.279
 or, you know, making a hard,

00:20:54.339 --> 00:20:57.199
 like, there's things which are just increasingly out of whack.

00:20:57.299 --> 00:20:58.759
 I mean, I guess things are always out of whack

00:20:58.759 --> 00:20:59.839
 and have to be reformed.

00:21:00.019 --> 00:21:05.599
 But Paul just says very correctly,

00:21:05.719 --> 00:21:07.159
 listen, if you actually really think

00:21:07.159 --> 00:21:09.500
 that it's just a matter of weighing good and bad,

00:21:10.259 --> 00:21:11.799
 how can you ever judge anybody?

00:21:12.399 --> 00:21:13.879
 And you all want to judge people,

00:21:13.919 --> 00:21:15.139
 at least at some point in time,

00:21:15.140 --> 00:21:16.580
 and maybe not for a whole pile of things

00:21:16.580 --> 00:21:17.400
 that should be judged,

00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:18.640
 but at least at some point in time,

00:21:18.660 --> 00:21:19.840
 you want to really just say,

00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:21.060
 you know, listen,

00:21:21.520 --> 00:21:24.140
 you sexually abuse a little kid,

00:21:24.340 --> 00:21:25.700
 that is wrong.

00:21:26.940 --> 00:21:29.740
 And you should go to jail for it and more.

00:21:30.520 --> 00:21:31.759
 And it's just wrong.

00:21:33.020 --> 00:21:34.120
 It's just wrong.

00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:40.040
 Murdering innocent is just wrong.

00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:45.500
 Russians targeting innocent citizens in Ukraine.

00:21:45.500 --> 00:21:47.039
 It's just wrong.

00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:49.339
 It's just wrong.

00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:50.559
 You're speaking like a Christian.

00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:54.079
 Or a biblical person.

00:21:54.740 --> 00:21:55.839
 Orthodox Jews as well.

00:21:57.420 --> 00:22:00.119
 So what Paul is saying here is,

00:22:00.379 --> 00:22:01.259
 and then in the end,

00:22:01.319 --> 00:22:01.839
 he says, listen,

00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:02.980
 you guys even think,

00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:04.920
 if you know anything at all about me,

00:22:05.019 --> 00:22:06.579
 and the book of Romans is going to show it,

00:22:06.579 --> 00:22:08.279
 the book of Romans is going to show

00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:10.119
 how we're really far worse

00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:11.399
 than we really think we are,

00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:14.059
 and the gospel is really unbelievably better

00:22:14.059 --> 00:22:15.039
 than we think we are,

00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:17.419
 and when we give our lives to Christ,

00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:19.679
 it's something that only God,

00:22:19.740 --> 00:22:21.500
 only God can make us right with him,

00:22:21.539 --> 00:22:22.899
 but when he makes us right with him,

00:22:22.919 --> 00:22:23.879
 he makes us right with him

00:22:23.879 --> 00:22:25.199
 to live a moral life.

00:22:25.819 --> 00:22:26.879
 Read the whole book of Romans.

00:22:27.579 --> 00:22:28.339
 So it's not at all,

00:22:28.439 --> 00:22:29.099
 it's all,

00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:29.819
 it's not about,

00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:31.759
 that's what,

00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:34.160
 that's what God desires.

00:22:35.539 --> 00:22:35.779
 I mean,

00:22:35.799 --> 00:22:36.859
 the fact is that,

00:22:36.980 --> 00:22:38.140
 that you and I

00:22:38.140 --> 00:22:40.779
 were originally designed by God

00:22:40.779 --> 00:22:42.819
 for goodness and beauty

00:22:42.819 --> 00:22:44.480
 and truth.

00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:49.640
 Goodness is the food we need to thrive.

00:22:50.579 --> 00:22:53.599
 Beauty is the food we need to thrive.

00:22:54.700 --> 00:22:55.180
 Truth,

00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:58.900
 our mind needs truth to thrive.

00:22:58.900 --> 00:23:03.560
 Our affections need beauty

00:23:03.560 --> 00:23:04.800
 for us to thrive.

00:23:05.380 --> 00:23:08.580
 Our wills need goodness to thrive.

00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:12.019
 And salvation is restoring us

00:23:12.019 --> 00:23:15.620
 to what would cause us to truly thrive.

00:23:17.820 --> 00:23:18.700
 Now,

00:23:18.700 --> 00:23:28.539
 the Bible

00:23:28.539 --> 00:23:32.640
 goes on to say something

00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:34.140
 which is a bit shocking.

00:23:34.500 --> 00:23:36.120
 It's maybe the part that you noticed

00:23:36.120 --> 00:23:37.600
 that Josiah read about

00:23:37.600 --> 00:23:38.580
 nobody being righteous,

00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:39.440
 no one understanding.

00:23:40.180 --> 00:23:40.019
 And

00:23:40.019 --> 00:23:43.420
 Paul is going to be bringing things

00:23:43.420 --> 00:23:44.160
 to conclusion.

00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:46.279
 He's just tried to reveal

00:23:46.279 --> 00:23:47.480
 and show that God

00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:49.059
 could have his word written,

00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:51.099
 revealed to human beings,

00:23:51.900 --> 00:23:53.980
 despite whatever we might do

00:23:53.980 --> 00:23:55.099
 to disregard it,

00:23:55.220 --> 00:23:56.759
 to have it lost,

00:23:56.880 --> 00:23:59.059
 to have it be quenched,

00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:00.579
 to have it be banned.

00:24:02.059 --> 00:24:03.400
 We can do all those things,

00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:04.960
 but God still calls his word

00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:05.700
 to be spoken,

00:24:06.019 --> 00:24:06.960
 to be recognized,

00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:08.039
 and to be preserved.

00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:11.480
 And now he deals with this

00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:12.680
 particular beginning thing.

00:24:12.779 --> 00:24:13.839
 He closes the loop

00:24:13.839 --> 00:24:15.099
 about us seeking advantage,

00:24:15.779 --> 00:24:16.859
 and we seek advantage

00:24:16.859 --> 00:24:18.680
 because we want to get something,

00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:19.659
 a benefit from it.

00:24:20.180 --> 00:24:21.819
 And that's what he begins to say

00:24:21.819 --> 00:24:22.339
 in verse 9

00:24:22.339 --> 00:24:23.339
 with this shocking stuff

00:24:23.339 --> 00:24:24.180
 as he's bringing things

00:24:24.180 --> 00:24:24.940
 to a conclusion.

00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:26.700
 What then are we Jews?

00:24:26.779 --> 00:24:27.519
 Any better off?

00:24:27.579 --> 00:24:28.159
 Because Paul,

00:24:28.319 --> 00:24:28.720
 writing this,

00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:29.180
 is Jewish.

00:24:30.019 --> 00:24:30.299
 No,

00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:30.839
 not at all.

00:24:31.619 --> 00:24:32.839
 The advantage of hearing

00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:33.799
 God's word,

00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:36.740
 it doesn't give us a benefit

00:24:36.740 --> 00:24:37.720
 in the type of benefit

00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:38.700
 we think we do

00:24:38.700 --> 00:24:39.460
 about escaping

00:24:39.460 --> 00:24:40.519
 the human condition.

00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:43.500
 And then it says here,

00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:45.299
 read verse 9 again,

00:24:45.399 --> 00:24:46.240
 what then are we Jews

00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:46.859
 better off?

00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:47.240
 No,

00:24:47.299 --> 00:24:47.759
 not at all,

00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:49.039
 for we have already charged

00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:49.480
 that all,

00:24:49.779 --> 00:24:51.059
 both Jews and Greeks,

00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:53.099
 are under sin.

00:24:54.759 --> 00:24:56.099
 And in some ways,

00:24:56.980 --> 00:24:59.859
 this is almost the end

00:24:59.859 --> 00:25:01.139
 of this whole section

00:25:01.139 --> 00:25:02.919
 about trying to describe

00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:03.840
 the human condition

00:25:03.840 --> 00:25:05.100
 and why we need the gospel.

00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:07.060
 That human beings

00:25:07.060 --> 00:25:09.480
 are under sin.

00:25:12.180 --> 00:25:14.640
 It's as if we dwell in sin.

00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:18.200
 It's not because I do wrong things

00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:19.120
 that I'm a sinner,

00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:20.519
 it's because I'm sin

00:25:20.519 --> 00:25:22.320
 and I dwell under it,

00:25:22.420 --> 00:25:23.519
 I live in it,

00:25:24.519 --> 00:25:25.759
 that I sin.

00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:26.779
 If you could put up

00:25:26.779 --> 00:25:27.400
 the third point,

00:25:27.500 --> 00:25:28.279
 that would be helpful,

00:25:28.560 --> 00:25:28.779
 Claire.

00:25:29.580 --> 00:25:30.660
 You are under sin.

00:25:30.940 --> 00:25:31.860
 Another way I could have put it

00:25:31.859 --> 00:25:33.099
 is humans are under sin,

00:25:33.199 --> 00:25:34.099
 but once again,

00:25:34.139 --> 00:25:34.939
 if I just said humans

00:25:34.939 --> 00:25:35.740
 are under sin,

00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:37.299
 that's completely true.

00:25:38.179 --> 00:25:39.779
 But it's a more pointed thing.

00:25:40.159 --> 00:25:43.019
 You are under sin.

00:25:48.659 --> 00:25:50.359
 Now this sounds a little bit

00:25:50.359 --> 00:25:51.419
 too depressing

00:25:51.419 --> 00:25:53.279
 and a little bit too extreme.

00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:56.799
 But he's going to pack it out

00:25:56.799 --> 00:25:57.319
 a little bit.

00:25:57.420 --> 00:25:59.079
 Let's look at how he unpacks it

00:25:59.079 --> 00:25:59.960
 and look at it

00:25:59.960 --> 00:26:01.299
 in its full extremity

00:26:01.299 --> 00:26:02.920
 and then I'll go back

00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:04.119
 and try to say how

00:26:04.119 --> 00:26:07.799
 it actually describes us

00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:08.940
 more than we want to acknowledge.

00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:11.460
 So he's going to quote

00:26:11.460 --> 00:26:13.639
 13 scripture passages

00:26:13.639 --> 00:26:16.180
 in the next few verses,

00:26:16.460 --> 00:26:17.579
 mainly from Psalms,

00:26:17.879 --> 00:26:19.519
 but also from Ecclesiastes,

00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:20.399
 I can't remember what the other,

00:26:20.500 --> 00:26:21.119
 Proverbs,

00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:22.019
 and I can't remember

00:26:22.019 --> 00:26:22.719
 what the other one is.

00:26:23.779 --> 00:26:24.679
 Wrote down my notes.

00:26:24.759 --> 00:26:26.259
 I didn't have it on my thing

00:26:26.259 --> 00:26:26.939
 right in front of me.

00:26:27.299 --> 00:26:28.779
 But listen to this list.

00:26:30.199 --> 00:26:30.899
 And it's, by the way,

00:26:30.939 --> 00:26:31.979
 a lot of times for people

00:26:31.979 --> 00:26:32.699
 who hear this list,

00:26:32.759 --> 00:26:34.059
 I think it's just too extreme.

00:26:35.119 --> 00:26:36.119
 But I'm going to show you

00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:36.879
 why it's not

00:26:36.879 --> 00:26:39.059
 and its context.

00:26:39.259 --> 00:26:39.979
 As it is written,

00:26:39.980 --> 00:26:42.220
 none is righteous,

00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:43.539
 no, not one.

00:26:44.500 --> 00:26:45.559
 No one understands.

00:26:46.339 --> 00:26:47.500
 No one seeks God.

00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:49.660
 All have turned aside.

00:26:50.339 --> 00:26:51.839
 Together they have become worthless.

00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:53.799
 No one does good,

00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:54.559
 not even one.

00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:56.799
 Their throat is an open grave.

00:26:57.500 --> 00:26:59.079
 They use their tongues to deceive.

00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:02.319
 The venom of asps

00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:03.420
 is under their lips.

00:27:04.420 --> 00:27:05.940
 Their mouth is full of curses

00:27:05.940 --> 00:27:06.500
 and bitterness.

00:27:06.500 --> 00:27:09.640
 Their feet are swift to shed blood.

00:27:10.579 --> 00:27:13.279
 In their paths are ruin and misery.

00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:15.119
 In the way of peace

00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:16.059
 they have not known.

00:27:16.700 --> 00:27:18.119
 There is no fear of God

00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:19.680
 before their eyes.

00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:24.160
 Now it's a sobering list

00:27:24.160 --> 00:27:25.120
 but I think

00:27:25.120 --> 00:27:28.680
 and it's really hard

00:27:28.680 --> 00:27:29.200
 because

00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:31.299
 I don't know about what books

00:27:31.299 --> 00:27:32.519
 you parents are reading

00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:33.380
 about your children

00:27:33.380 --> 00:27:34.380
 but one of the problems

00:27:34.380 --> 00:27:36.360
 with most child-rearing books

00:27:36.360 --> 00:27:37.240
 that are written today

00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:39.380
 is they all work on the assumption

00:27:39.380 --> 00:27:40.940
 that children are basically good.

00:27:42.340 --> 00:27:42.779
 Not.

00:27:42.779 --> 00:27:46.500
 You know,

00:27:46.539 --> 00:27:47.339
 how do you know

00:27:47.339 --> 00:27:47.940
 when a child

00:27:47.940 --> 00:27:48.799
 has reached the age

00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:50.920
 of moral discernment?

00:27:51.379 --> 00:27:52.440
 Might be two, three.

00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:53.879
 You know,

00:27:54.079 --> 00:27:55.119
 there's a certain point in time.

00:27:55.359 --> 00:27:55.899
 I, you know,

00:27:56.160 --> 00:27:57.379
 my oldest son,

00:27:57.420 --> 00:27:57.920
 if he was here

00:27:57.920 --> 00:27:58.779
 he would just laugh at

00:27:58.779 --> 00:28:00.160
 and make it,

00:28:00.339 --> 00:28:01.440
 make tell funny stories

00:28:01.440 --> 00:28:02.000
 about himself.

00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:05.000
 If there was a basket of laundry

00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:06.460
 he could crawl there

00:28:06.460 --> 00:28:08.279
 amazingly fast

00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:09.339
 and immediately throw

00:28:09.339 --> 00:28:10.799
 the entire basket of laundry

00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:11.879
 all over the floor.

00:28:12.539 --> 00:28:13.779
 We had bookshelves.

00:28:13.899 --> 00:28:14.899
 You could not have

00:28:14.899 --> 00:28:15.619
 any books

00:28:15.619 --> 00:28:16.619
 on a bookshelf

00:28:16.619 --> 00:28:18.839
 that was beyond his reach

00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:19.859
 because he delighted

00:28:19.859 --> 00:28:21.519
 in taking all of the books off

00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:22.639
 and throwing them on the floor.

00:28:22.859 --> 00:28:23.859
 He's just being a kid.

00:28:24.279 --> 00:28:25.099
 He wasn't bad.

00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:26.440
 He was just being a kid.

00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:28.759
 But there comes a point in time

00:28:28.759 --> 00:28:29.319
 when the kid,

00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:30.919
 when you say something like

00:28:30.919 --> 00:28:31.839
 don't touch that

00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:34.339
 and they look at you

00:28:34.339 --> 00:28:37.159
 and they look at that

00:28:37.159 --> 00:28:39.619
 and you say to them again

00:28:39.619 --> 00:28:40.579
 don't touch that

00:28:40.579 --> 00:28:41.699
 they look at you

00:28:41.699 --> 00:28:43.740
 and they touch that.

00:28:46.159 --> 00:28:47.099
 Now if you think

00:28:47.099 --> 00:28:47.759
 you have a kid

00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:48.799
 that hasn't done that

00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:50.879
 you need therapy

00:28:50.879 --> 00:28:53.779
 because

00:28:53.779 --> 00:28:56.679
 your kids do that too.

00:28:57.179 --> 00:28:57.619
 Okay?

00:28:57.779 --> 00:28:58.559
 Or did it.

00:28:59.460 --> 00:29:00.019
 And so

00:29:00.019 --> 00:29:01.460
 on one hand

00:29:01.460 --> 00:29:02.220
 we think that

00:29:02.220 --> 00:29:02.960
 human beings

00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:04.279
 are basically good

00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:04.720
 and I think

00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:06.019
 partially what that's dealing

00:29:06.019 --> 00:29:06.899
 I won't go into

00:29:06.899 --> 00:29:07.779
 why that's dealing with it

00:29:07.779 --> 00:29:08.559
 but here's the thing.

00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:10.700
 a simple illustration.

00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:12.240
 One of the reasons

00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:13.220
 I've used this before

00:29:13.220 --> 00:29:14.039
 but I'll use it again.

00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:15.059
 One of the reasons

00:29:15.059 --> 00:29:16.440
 people like zombie movies

00:29:16.440 --> 00:29:17.980
 or aliens invading

00:29:17.980 --> 00:29:18.960
 and about to take over

00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:20.059
 the entire world

00:29:20.059 --> 00:29:21.799
 is that on one hand

00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:23.099
 they see how

00:29:23.099 --> 00:29:24.299
 you see how people

00:29:24.299 --> 00:29:24.859
 are revealed

00:29:24.859 --> 00:29:26.259
 and there's looting

00:29:26.259 --> 00:29:27.440
 and there's destruction

00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:28.279
 and one of the things

00:29:28.279 --> 00:29:29.359
 about zombie movies

00:29:29.359 --> 00:29:30.159
 is that not only

00:29:30.159 --> 00:29:30.539
 you have to fear

00:29:30.539 --> 00:29:31.079
 the zombies

00:29:31.079 --> 00:29:32.019
 you almost have to fear

00:29:32.019 --> 00:29:33.019
 human beings more

00:29:33.019 --> 00:29:34.400
 because they just

00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:35.160
 want to steal

00:29:35.160 --> 00:29:37.379
 and they hurt people

00:29:37.379 --> 00:29:38.759
 and they enslave people

00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:39.299
 and that's what

00:29:39.299 --> 00:29:40.259
 human beings do

00:29:40.259 --> 00:29:41.319
 and then there's

00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:42.339
 the moral person

00:29:42.339 --> 00:29:44.079
 in it who's not like that

00:29:44.079 --> 00:29:44.859
 and one of the reasons

00:29:44.859 --> 00:29:46.180
 people like those movies

00:29:46.180 --> 00:29:46.900
 is because

00:29:46.900 --> 00:29:48.059
 they imagine themselves

00:29:48.059 --> 00:29:49.160
 as the moral person

00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:51.799
 not the bad people

00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:52.259
 and in fact

00:29:52.259 --> 00:29:52.779
 I'm sure

00:29:52.779 --> 00:29:53.879
 I'd be willing to bet money

00:29:53.879 --> 00:29:55.039
 that if you were to ask them

00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:55.660
 about let's say

00:29:55.660 --> 00:29:56.660
 all their co-workers

00:29:56.660 --> 00:29:57.980
 or their neighbours

00:29:57.980 --> 00:29:59.059
 if they know their neighbours

00:29:59.059 --> 00:29:59.500
 well enough

00:29:59.500 --> 00:30:00.240
 to know their neighbours

00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:01.240
 on ten sides

00:30:01.240 --> 00:30:02.180
 ten houses

00:30:02.180 --> 00:30:02.920
 either way

00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:04.019
 or on the

00:30:04.019 --> 00:30:04.279
 you know

00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:05.340
 in the whole building

00:30:05.340 --> 00:30:06.860
 and if you were to say to them

00:30:06.860 --> 00:30:08.259
 how many of your neighbours

00:30:08.259 --> 00:30:08.700
 do you think

00:30:08.700 --> 00:30:09.720
 would be moral like you

00:30:09.720 --> 00:30:10.440
 and how many would be

00:30:10.440 --> 00:30:11.759
 like the hordes out there

00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:12.580
 you know

00:30:12.580 --> 00:30:13.360
 doing the stealing

00:30:13.360 --> 00:30:14.039
 and the theft

00:30:14.039 --> 00:30:14.640
 and all of that

00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:15.220
 and you'd say

00:30:15.220 --> 00:30:15.600
 well

00:30:15.600 --> 00:30:17.200
 I mean I'd be one

00:30:17.200 --> 00:30:18.039
 of the moral people

00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:19.759
 actually I don't know

00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:20.220
 how many of my

00:30:20.220 --> 00:30:20.940
 I don't know

00:30:20.940 --> 00:30:21.759
 how many of my other

00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:22.920
 co-workers

00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:24.299
 would actually be moral like me

00:30:24.299 --> 00:30:25.200
 like I actually think

00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:26.000
 they'd be out there

00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:27.539
 lying and stealing

00:30:27.539 --> 00:30:28.320
 and not knowing

00:30:28.320 --> 00:30:28.980
 the way of peace

00:30:28.980 --> 00:30:29.480
 I actually think

00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:30.180
 that's what would happen

00:30:30.180 --> 00:30:31.200
 if everything broke down

00:30:31.200 --> 00:30:31.860
 and there were zombies

00:30:31.859 --> 00:30:32.759
 and it just came down

00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:33.079
 to them

00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:34.000
 them or the other

00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:35.199
 right

00:30:35.199 --> 00:30:36.159
 now here's the

00:30:36.159 --> 00:30:36.839
 here's the problem

00:30:36.839 --> 00:30:37.699
 with the thought experiment

00:30:37.699 --> 00:30:39.719
 if you asked

00:30:39.719 --> 00:30:40.879
 each one of the co-workers

00:30:40.879 --> 00:30:41.799
 the same question

00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:42.359
 all of them

00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:43.139
 would probably say

00:30:43.139 --> 00:30:43.599
 well I'd be one

00:30:43.599 --> 00:30:44.419
 of the moral people

00:30:44.419 --> 00:30:46.339
 but I'm not sure

00:30:46.339 --> 00:30:47.740
 about all my other co-workers

00:30:47.740 --> 00:30:48.459
 and they would include

00:30:48.459 --> 00:30:49.019
 you in that

00:30:49.019 --> 00:30:49.519
 by the way

00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:52.279
 your co-workers

00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:53.479
 would not be sure

00:30:53.479 --> 00:30:54.419
 whether you would be

00:30:54.419 --> 00:30:55.479
 one of the moral people

00:30:55.479 --> 00:30:57.240
 in the zombie apocalypse

00:30:57.240 --> 00:30:58.399
 or whether you'd be

00:30:58.399 --> 00:30:59.000
 one of the people

00:30:59.000 --> 00:30:59.500
 not knowing

00:30:59.500 --> 00:31:00.140
 the way of peace

00:31:00.140 --> 00:31:00.559
 and lying

00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:01.039
 and stealing

00:31:01.039 --> 00:31:01.579
 and do whatever

00:31:01.579 --> 00:31:02.240
 you had to live

00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:05.059
 see as the psalmist

00:31:05.059 --> 00:31:05.599
 says

00:31:05.599 --> 00:31:07.200
 very truly

00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:08.420
 we flatter ourselves

00:31:08.420 --> 00:31:08.980
 too much

00:31:08.980 --> 00:31:09.640
 to detect

00:31:09.640 --> 00:31:10.420
 our hate

00:31:10.420 --> 00:31:11.180
 our own sin

00:31:11.180 --> 00:31:12.519
 and

00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:13.920
 and you know

00:31:13.920 --> 00:31:14.599
 in fact

00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:15.640
 here's the other thing

00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:15.980
 about it

00:31:15.980 --> 00:31:16.940
 a couple of weeks ago

00:31:16.940 --> 00:31:17.859
 I used the example

00:31:17.859 --> 00:31:18.559
 about how

00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:19.579
 many of us

00:31:19.579 --> 00:31:20.839
 labor under the problem

00:31:20.839 --> 00:31:21.359
 of thinking

00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:22.500
 that the more

00:31:22.500 --> 00:31:23.299
 other people

00:31:23.299 --> 00:31:24.059
 get to know me

00:31:24.059 --> 00:31:25.240
 the less they'll like me

00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:25.880
 it's a very

00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:27.160
 and I talked about

00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:27.840
 how that's why

00:31:27.840 --> 00:31:29.100
 we have to preach

00:31:29.100 --> 00:31:30.360
 the gospel to ourselves

00:31:30.360 --> 00:31:31.680
 but here's the other

00:31:31.680 --> 00:31:32.540
 aspect of it

00:31:32.540 --> 00:31:34.380
 nobody thinks

00:31:34.380 --> 00:31:35.900
 I'll rephrase this

00:31:35.900 --> 00:31:37.880
 if somebody said to me

00:31:37.880 --> 00:31:38.900
 or you

00:31:38.900 --> 00:31:39.740
 after the service

00:31:39.740 --> 00:31:40.200
 you know George

00:31:40.200 --> 00:31:40.980
 used that example

00:31:40.980 --> 00:31:41.780
 that the more people

00:31:41.780 --> 00:31:42.560
 got to know me

00:31:42.560 --> 00:31:43.600
 the less they'd like me

00:31:43.600 --> 00:31:44.560
 and I don't know

00:31:44.560 --> 00:31:45.120
 I didn't know

00:31:45.120 --> 00:31:46.240
 that that was the problem

00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:47.360
 I mean the fact of the matter

00:31:47.360 --> 00:31:48.120
 is is the more

00:31:48.120 --> 00:31:48.860
 if the more people

00:31:48.860 --> 00:31:49.400
 get to know me

00:31:49.400 --> 00:31:50.060
 the more they'd think

00:31:50.060 --> 00:31:50.720
 I'm perfect

00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:54.320
 another person

00:31:54.320 --> 00:31:55.100
 needing therapy

00:31:55.100 --> 00:31:55.580
 right

00:31:55.579 --> 00:31:57.299
 like

00:31:57.299 --> 00:31:58.679
 if people might

00:31:58.679 --> 00:31:59.659
 actually believe that

00:31:59.659 --> 00:32:00.139
 you know they're

00:32:00.139 --> 00:32:01.079
 completely deluded

00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:03.000
 I mean the fact is

00:32:03.000 --> 00:32:03.779
 I mean that's

00:32:03.779 --> 00:32:04.480
 that's one of the hard

00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:05.439
 parts about long-term

00:32:05.439 --> 00:32:06.019
 relationships

00:32:06.019 --> 00:32:06.659
 it's one of the hard

00:32:06.659 --> 00:32:07.519
 parts about marriage

00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:07.939
 is that

00:32:07.939 --> 00:32:08.919
 you get married

00:32:08.919 --> 00:32:09.460
 and you discover

00:32:09.460 --> 00:32:10.379
 you married a sinner

00:32:10.379 --> 00:32:12.740
 and they discover

00:32:12.740 --> 00:32:13.759
 they married a sinner

00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:15.379
 as well as one person's

00:32:15.379 --> 00:32:16.059
 perfect and the other

00:32:16.059 --> 00:32:16.740
 person's a sinner

00:32:16.740 --> 00:32:17.480
 both are sinners

00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:17.859
 right

00:32:17.859 --> 00:32:19.119
 and so

00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:20.259
 the fact is

00:32:20.259 --> 00:32:21.079
 that there's something

00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:21.859
 which is very

00:32:21.859 --> 00:32:22.759
 very very

00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:23.759
 profound

00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:24.500
 about this

00:32:24.500 --> 00:32:25.960
 and in it

00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:26.680
 Paul has been

00:32:26.680 --> 00:32:27.299
 very clever

00:32:27.299 --> 00:32:27.839
 he's touched

00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:28.539
 seven areas

00:32:28.539 --> 00:32:28.980
 he said

00:32:28.980 --> 00:32:29.440
 at the level

00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:30.099
 of our standing

00:32:30.099 --> 00:32:30.900
 before God

00:32:30.900 --> 00:32:32.680
 sin has touched us

00:32:32.680 --> 00:32:33.119
 at the level

00:32:33.119 --> 00:32:33.859
 of our minds

00:32:33.859 --> 00:32:34.940
 sin has touched us

00:32:34.940 --> 00:32:35.420
 at the level

00:32:35.420 --> 00:32:36.200
 of our motives

00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:37.660
 sin has touched us

00:32:37.660 --> 00:32:38.380
 at the level

00:32:38.380 --> 00:32:39.279
 of our wills

00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:40.480
 sin has touched us

00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:41.700
 at the level

00:32:41.700 --> 00:32:42.440
 of words

00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:44.200
 sin has touched us

00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:44.960
 at the level

00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:45.720
 of relationships

00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:47.440
 sin has touched us

00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:48.160
 and the level

00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:48.940
 of our relationship

00:32:48.940 --> 00:32:49.559
 to God

00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:51.200
 sin has touched us

00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:53.500
 sin has touched us

00:32:53.500 --> 00:32:55.059
 it's not saying

00:32:55.059 --> 00:32:55.920
 by the way

00:32:55.920 --> 00:32:57.880
 that every single

00:32:57.880 --> 00:32:59.059
 thing you do

00:32:59.059 --> 00:33:00.299
 as a human being

00:33:00.299 --> 00:33:01.140
 is bad

00:33:01.140 --> 00:33:01.900
 and terrible

00:33:01.900 --> 00:33:03.460
 it's not

00:33:03.460 --> 00:33:04.579
 a despairing

00:33:04.579 --> 00:33:05.240
 type of thing

00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:06.819
 it just means

00:33:06.819 --> 00:33:08.519
 that every part

00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:09.460
 of who you are

00:33:09.460 --> 00:33:10.519
 has been touched

00:33:10.519 --> 00:33:11.359
 by rebellion

00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:12.240
 against God

00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:13.399
 and your own

00:33:13.399 --> 00:33:14.319
 God project

00:33:14.319 --> 00:33:15.799
 and self-centeredness

00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:18.240
 there's no part

00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:19.179
 of who you are

00:33:19.179 --> 00:33:19.819
 that has not

00:33:19.819 --> 00:33:20.419
 been touched

00:33:20.419 --> 00:33:20.919
 by it

00:33:20.919 --> 00:33:22.240
 and

00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:23.379
 well

00:33:23.379 --> 00:33:24.259
 the text

00:33:24.259 --> 00:33:24.679
 has already

00:33:24.679 --> 00:33:25.119
 shown

00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:26.599
 this is part

00:33:26.599 --> 00:33:27.179
 of the logic

00:33:27.179 --> 00:33:27.819
 of redemption

00:33:27.819 --> 00:33:28.819
 that God

00:33:28.819 --> 00:33:29.679
 is over

00:33:29.679 --> 00:33:30.259
 everything

00:33:30.259 --> 00:33:31.220
 and if he wants

00:33:31.220 --> 00:33:31.919
 to have his word

00:33:31.919 --> 00:33:32.339
 spoken

00:33:32.339 --> 00:33:32.980
 it will be

00:33:32.980 --> 00:33:33.620
 and even

00:33:33.620 --> 00:33:34.140
 to people

00:33:34.140 --> 00:33:35.039
 under sin

00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:35.960
 God

00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:36.279
 who is

00:33:36.279 --> 00:33:37.660
 over sin

00:33:37.660 --> 00:33:38.539
 can still

00:33:38.539 --> 00:33:39.220
 have his word

00:33:39.220 --> 00:33:40.000
 to be spoken

00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:41.180
 and it's part

00:33:41.180 --> 00:33:41.940
 of the hint

00:33:41.940 --> 00:33:42.860
 that there might

00:33:42.860 --> 00:33:43.480
 be hope

00:33:43.480 --> 00:33:45.220
 and it's because

00:33:45.220 --> 00:33:45.940
 God is over

00:33:45.940 --> 00:33:46.579
 all things

00:33:46.579 --> 00:33:47.180
 that even though

00:33:47.180 --> 00:33:47.900
 human beings

00:33:47.900 --> 00:33:48.839
 have had sin

00:33:48.839 --> 00:33:49.720
 touch every area

00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:50.420
 of their lives

00:33:50.420 --> 00:33:51.400
 God

00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:52.220
 in his common

00:33:52.220 --> 00:33:52.680
 grace

00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:53.420
 has made it

00:33:53.420 --> 00:33:54.180
 that it does not

00:33:54.180 --> 00:33:55.579
 completely overwhelm

00:33:55.579 --> 00:33:55.819
 them

00:33:55.819 --> 00:33:56.799
 we do not

00:33:56.799 --> 00:33:57.900
 become Mordor

00:33:57.900 --> 00:33:59.259
 we do not

00:33:59.259 --> 00:34:00.440
 become orcs

00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:02.100
 God

00:34:02.100 --> 00:34:03.279
 restrains this

00:34:03.279 --> 00:34:03.920
 in the hope

00:34:03.920 --> 00:34:04.400
 that we would

00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:05.160
 turn to him

00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:06.039
 and repent

00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:10.559
 and this

00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:11.639
 by the way

00:34:11.639 --> 00:34:12.300
 helps us

00:34:12.300 --> 00:34:13.320
 to see something

00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:14.200
 so what

00:34:14.200 --> 00:34:15.059
 he's really

00:34:15.059 --> 00:34:16.019
 beginning to

00:34:16.019 --> 00:34:16.720
 communicate here

00:34:16.720 --> 00:34:17.440
 by this long

00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:17.840
 list

00:34:17.840 --> 00:34:19.119
 is that

00:34:19.119 --> 00:34:20.059
 you are actually

00:34:20.059 --> 00:34:21.059
 every human being

00:34:21.059 --> 00:34:21.700
 is actually

00:34:21.700 --> 00:34:22.420
 far worse

00:34:22.420 --> 00:34:22.960
 than they ever

00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:23.539
 realized

00:34:23.539 --> 00:34:25.539
 and if that's

00:34:25.539 --> 00:34:25.960
 all that

00:34:25.960 --> 00:34:26.760
 Paul was going

00:34:26.760 --> 00:34:27.000
 to say

00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:27.320
 it would just

00:34:27.320 --> 00:34:28.220
 be very depressing

00:34:28.220 --> 00:34:29.619
 but remember

00:34:29.619 --> 00:34:30.199
 he begins

00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:30.980
 by saying

00:34:30.980 --> 00:34:32.000
 there's this

00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:32.900
 profound

00:34:32.900 --> 00:34:33.579
 announcement

00:34:33.579 --> 00:34:34.460
 by God

00:34:34.460 --> 00:34:35.319
 of a great

00:34:35.319 --> 00:34:35.819
 victory

00:34:35.819 --> 00:34:36.460
 that he has

00:34:36.460 --> 00:34:36.880
 won

00:34:36.880 --> 00:34:37.859
 and has

00:34:37.859 --> 00:34:38.460
 accomplished

00:34:38.460 --> 00:34:39.859
 and it comes

00:34:39.859 --> 00:34:40.519
 with power

00:34:40.519 --> 00:34:41.199
 from him

00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:42.139
 to make you

00:34:42.139 --> 00:34:42.940
 right with God

00:34:42.940 --> 00:34:44.159
 and so Paul

00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:44.920
 is trying to

00:34:44.920 --> 00:34:45.659
 set the stage

00:34:45.659 --> 00:34:46.199
 to realize

00:34:46.199 --> 00:34:46.659
 that no matter

00:34:46.659 --> 00:34:47.579
 how depressed

00:34:47.579 --> 00:34:48.440
 or how guilty

00:34:48.440 --> 00:34:49.299
 you ever feel

00:34:49.299 --> 00:34:50.179
 or down on yourself

00:34:50.179 --> 00:34:51.079
 that you ever feel

00:34:51.079 --> 00:34:52.059
 you actually

00:34:52.059 --> 00:34:52.819
 haven't plumbed

00:34:52.819 --> 00:34:53.219
 the depths

00:34:53.219 --> 00:34:53.839
 of how bad

00:34:53.839 --> 00:34:54.319
 you are

00:34:54.319 --> 00:34:55.259
 which is

00:34:55.259 --> 00:34:55.920
 unbelievably

00:34:55.920 --> 00:34:56.559
 depressing

00:34:56.559 --> 00:34:57.779
 unless it goes

00:34:57.779 --> 00:34:58.400
 with the message

00:34:58.400 --> 00:34:59.159
 of the gospel

00:34:59.159 --> 00:35:00.219
 that even

00:35:00.219 --> 00:35:01.000
 the world's

00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:01.980
 most spectacular

00:35:01.980 --> 00:35:02.739
 narcissist

00:35:02.739 --> 00:35:04.339
 cannot possibly

00:35:04.339 --> 00:35:04.879
 imagine

00:35:04.879 --> 00:35:05.699
 how profoundly

00:35:05.699 --> 00:35:06.399
 loved they are

00:35:06.399 --> 00:35:07.019
 by God

00:35:07.019 --> 00:35:10.099
 how profoundly

00:35:10.099 --> 00:35:11.239
 loved they

00:35:11.239 --> 00:35:12.399
 are by God

00:35:12.399 --> 00:35:20.259
 so he goes on

00:35:20.259 --> 00:35:21.099
 we're going to

00:35:21.099 --> 00:35:21.659
 come back to this

00:35:21.659 --> 00:35:22.059
 in a moment

00:35:22.059 --> 00:35:22.879
 I have to start

00:35:22.879 --> 00:35:23.819
 wrapping things up

00:35:23.819 --> 00:35:24.739
 you turn down

00:35:24.739 --> 00:35:25.619
 to verse 19

00:35:25.619 --> 00:35:28.359
 now we know

00:35:28.359 --> 00:35:28.839
 that whatever

00:35:28.839 --> 00:35:29.679
 the law says

00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:30.259
 that's the moral

00:35:30.259 --> 00:35:30.619
 law

00:35:30.619 --> 00:35:31.380
 it speaks

00:35:31.380 --> 00:35:32.079
 to those

00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:32.599
 who are under

00:35:32.599 --> 00:35:33.179
 the law

00:35:33.179 --> 00:35:34.319
 so that every

00:35:34.319 --> 00:35:35.799
 mouth may be

00:35:35.799 --> 00:35:36.380
 stopped

00:35:36.380 --> 00:35:36.940
 and the whole

00:35:36.940 --> 00:35:37.920
 world may be

00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:38.619
 held accountable

00:35:38.619 --> 00:35:39.259
 to God

00:35:39.259 --> 00:35:40.239
 and if you

00:35:40.239 --> 00:35:40.539
 could put up

00:35:40.539 --> 00:35:41.019
 the point

00:35:41.019 --> 00:35:42.199
 this is just

00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:42.679
 saying that

00:35:42.679 --> 00:35:43.199
 in the face

00:35:43.199 --> 00:35:43.679
 of God's

00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:44.559
 perfect justice

00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:45.319
 point four

00:35:45.319 --> 00:35:46.219
 in the face

00:35:46.219 --> 00:35:46.719
 of God's

00:35:46.719 --> 00:35:47.519
 perfect justice

00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:47.960
 and his

00:35:47.960 --> 00:35:48.819
 perfect sentence

00:35:48.819 --> 00:35:49.559
 against you

00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:50.559
 there will be

00:35:50.559 --> 00:35:51.079
 nothing you

00:35:51.079 --> 00:35:51.619
 can say

00:35:51.619 --> 00:35:53.440
 in the face

00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:53.900
 of God's

00:35:53.900 --> 00:35:54.860
 perfect justice

00:35:54.860 --> 00:35:56.299
 and in the face

00:35:56.299 --> 00:35:56.559
 of his

00:35:56.559 --> 00:35:57.440
 perfect sentence

00:35:57.440 --> 00:35:58.159
 against you

00:35:58.159 --> 00:35:59.139
 there will be

00:35:59.139 --> 00:35:59.699
 nothing you

00:35:59.699 --> 00:36:00.259
 can say

00:36:00.259 --> 00:36:02.679
 the case

00:36:02.679 --> 00:36:03.519
 is airtight

00:36:03.519 --> 00:36:04.860
 you can't

00:36:04.860 --> 00:36:05.559
 complain that

00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:06.480
 maybe you

00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:06.759
 know you

00:36:06.759 --> 00:36:07.059
 should give

00:36:07.059 --> 00:36:07.599
 me a pass

00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:08.099
 because me

00:36:08.099 --> 00:36:08.880
 speaking lies

00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:09.319
 meant that

00:36:09.319 --> 00:36:09.799
 your truth

00:36:09.799 --> 00:36:10.519
 shines brighter

00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:11.199
 or me doing

00:36:11.199 --> 00:36:11.880
 wrong things

00:36:11.880 --> 00:36:12.259
 meant that

00:36:12.259 --> 00:36:12.699
 you looking

00:36:12.699 --> 00:36:13.219
 makes you

00:36:13.219 --> 00:36:13.679
 look good

00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:14.519
 or you know

00:36:14.519 --> 00:36:14.960
 or there's

00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:15.519
 this or that

00:36:15.519 --> 00:36:15.819
 or there's

00:36:15.819 --> 00:36:16.219
 some type

00:36:16.219 --> 00:36:16.739
 of excuse

00:36:16.739 --> 00:36:17.360
 there's nothing

00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:17.860
 like that

00:36:17.860 --> 00:36:18.299
 that's going

00:36:18.299 --> 00:36:18.840
 to work

00:36:18.840 --> 00:36:19.920
 you see

00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:20.259
 one of the

00:36:20.260 --> 00:36:20.700
 things which

00:36:20.700 --> 00:36:21.160
 is mainly

00:36:21.160 --> 00:36:21.600
 different

00:36:21.600 --> 00:36:22.020
 that this

00:36:22.020 --> 00:36:22.380
 is all

00:36:22.380 --> 00:36:22.820
 showing

00:36:22.820 --> 00:36:23.680
 coming up

00:36:23.680 --> 00:36:24.140
 to this

00:36:24.140 --> 00:36:25.080
 like about

00:36:25.080 --> 00:36:26.360
 the law

00:36:26.360 --> 00:36:26.780
 and being

00:36:26.780 --> 00:36:27.160
 under the

00:36:27.160 --> 00:36:27.400
 law

00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:27.820
 and doing

00:36:27.820 --> 00:36:28.320
 good things

00:36:28.320 --> 00:36:28.600
 going to

00:36:28.600 --> 00:36:28.840
 come up

00:36:28.840 --> 00:36:29.060
 in a

00:36:29.060 --> 00:36:29.300
 moment

00:36:29.300 --> 00:36:31.220
 is that

00:36:31.220 --> 00:36:31.540
 one of the

00:36:31.540 --> 00:36:32.200
 big differences

00:36:32.200 --> 00:36:32.900
 between a

00:36:32.900 --> 00:36:33.500
 Christian who's

00:36:33.500 --> 00:36:34.160
 been instructed

00:36:34.160 --> 00:36:34.940
 by the Bible

00:36:34.940 --> 00:36:35.660
 and the gospel

00:36:35.660 --> 00:36:36.240
 and those

00:36:36.240 --> 00:36:36.940
 outside the

00:36:36.940 --> 00:36:37.740
 Christian faith

00:36:37.740 --> 00:36:39.500
 is how we

00:36:39.500 --> 00:36:39.900
 view our

00:36:39.900 --> 00:36:40.720
 good works

00:36:40.720 --> 00:36:46.600
 and how we

00:36:46.600 --> 00:36:46.920
 view our

00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:47.420
 good works

00:36:47.420 --> 00:36:47.920
 is not that

00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:48.300
 we shouldn't

00:36:48.300 --> 00:36:48.740
 be doing

00:36:48.740 --> 00:36:49.160
 them but

00:36:49.160 --> 00:36:49.500
 that they're

00:36:49.500 --> 00:36:50.060
 never enough

00:36:50.059 --> 00:36:50.400
 to make

00:36:50.400 --> 00:36:50.719
 us right

00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:51.239
 with God

00:36:51.239 --> 00:36:53.019
 that's

00:36:53.019 --> 00:36:53.380
 what he

00:36:53.380 --> 00:36:53.779
 goes right

00:36:53.779 --> 00:36:54.279
 here and

00:36:54.279 --> 00:36:54.679
 says in

00:36:54.679 --> 00:36:55.199
 verse 20

00:36:55.199 --> 00:36:56.739
 and this

00:36:56.739 --> 00:36:57.039
 is the

00:36:57.039 --> 00:36:57.420
 end of

00:36:57.420 --> 00:36:57.779
 the bad

00:36:57.779 --> 00:36:58.119
 news

00:36:58.119 --> 00:36:58.639
 for by

00:36:58.639 --> 00:36:59.320
 the works

00:36:59.320 --> 00:36:59.820
 of the

00:36:59.820 --> 00:37:00.119
 law

00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:01.019
 no human

00:37:01.019 --> 00:37:01.460
 being

00:37:01.460 --> 00:37:02.099
 will be

00:37:02.099 --> 00:37:02.579
 justified

00:37:02.579 --> 00:37:03.019
 in his

00:37:03.019 --> 00:37:03.219
 sight

00:37:03.219 --> 00:37:03.579
 justified

00:37:03.579 --> 00:37:04.219
 here means

00:37:04.219 --> 00:37:04.840
 made right

00:37:04.840 --> 00:37:05.779
 in his

00:37:05.779 --> 00:37:06.039
 sight

00:37:06.039 --> 00:37:06.980
 since through

00:37:06.980 --> 00:37:07.539
 the law

00:37:07.539 --> 00:37:08.299
 comes

00:37:08.299 --> 00:37:08.900
 knowledge

00:37:08.900 --> 00:37:10.099
 of sin

00:37:10.099 --> 00:37:12.159
 if you

00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:12.599
 could put up

00:37:12.599 --> 00:37:12.980
 the fifth

00:37:12.980 --> 00:37:13.400
 point that

00:37:13.400 --> 00:37:13.679
 would be

00:37:13.679 --> 00:37:14.019
 helpful

00:37:14.019 --> 00:37:14.500
 God's

00:37:14.500 --> 00:37:14.960
 revelation

00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:15.460
 of what is

00:37:15.460 --> 00:37:15.860
 right and

00:37:15.860 --> 00:37:16.820
 wrong reveals

00:37:16.820 --> 00:37:17.400
 your sin

00:37:17.400 --> 00:37:17.659
 and your

00:37:17.659 --> 00:37:18.039
 need

00:37:18.039 --> 00:37:18.920
 but it

00:37:18.920 --> 00:37:19.579
 cannot make

00:37:19.579 --> 00:37:20.000
 you right

00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:20.480
 with him

00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:22.199
 God's

00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:22.800
 revelation of

00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:23.059
 what is

00:37:23.059 --> 00:37:23.420
 right and

00:37:23.420 --> 00:37:24.259
 wrong reveals

00:37:24.259 --> 00:37:24.900
 your sin

00:37:24.900 --> 00:37:25.199
 and your

00:37:25.199 --> 00:37:25.679
 need but

00:37:25.679 --> 00:37:26.059
 it cannot

00:37:26.059 --> 00:37:26.500
 make you

00:37:26.500 --> 00:37:26.920
 right with

00:37:26.920 --> 00:37:27.119
 him

00:37:27.119 --> 00:37:28.039
 think back

00:37:28.039 --> 00:37:28.300
 now to

00:37:28.300 --> 00:37:28.820
 my CT

00:37:28.820 --> 00:37:29.320
 scan

00:37:29.320 --> 00:37:31.559
 there was a

00:37:31.559 --> 00:37:31.980
 development

00:37:31.980 --> 00:37:32.759
 of revelation

00:37:32.759 --> 00:37:35.279
 and first

00:37:35.279 --> 00:37:35.739
 there was my

00:37:35.739 --> 00:37:36.460
 own perception

00:37:36.460 --> 00:37:36.980
 that I was

00:37:36.980 --> 00:37:37.259
 sick

00:37:37.259 --> 00:37:37.739
 then there's

00:37:37.739 --> 00:37:38.320
 Louise's

00:37:38.320 --> 00:37:38.860
 perception

00:37:38.860 --> 00:37:40.059
 that it

00:37:40.059 --> 00:37:40.440
 might be

00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:41.019
 something more

00:37:41.019 --> 00:37:41.599
 than just a

00:37:41.599 --> 00:37:42.179
 cold and

00:37:42.179 --> 00:37:42.519
 then there's

00:37:42.519 --> 00:37:43.159
 the doctor

00:37:43.159 --> 00:37:44.059
 looking at

00:37:44.059 --> 00:37:44.500
 me and

00:37:44.500 --> 00:37:45.079
 listening to

00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:45.559
 my chest

00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:45.920
 and saying

00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:46.259
 I have

00:37:46.259 --> 00:37:46.679
 pneumonia

00:37:46.679 --> 00:37:47.679
 and then

00:37:47.679 --> 00:37:48.139
 there's the

00:37:48.139 --> 00:37:48.719
 x-ray

00:37:48.719 --> 00:37:49.759
 which brings

00:37:49.759 --> 00:37:50.599
 more clarity

00:37:50.599 --> 00:37:51.119
 both that there

00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:51.579
 is pneumonia

00:37:51.579 --> 00:37:52.119
 but there might

00:37:52.119 --> 00:37:52.539
 also be

00:37:52.539 --> 00:37:53.159
 something else

00:37:53.159 --> 00:37:53.799
 and now you

00:37:53.799 --> 00:37:54.259
 go to a more

00:37:54.259 --> 00:37:55.639
 powerful level

00:37:55.639 --> 00:37:56.360
 of revelation

00:37:56.360 --> 00:37:57.139
 so to speak

00:37:57.139 --> 00:37:58.179
 the CT scan

00:37:58.179 --> 00:37:59.219
 and the CT scan

00:37:59.219 --> 00:38:00.320
 is able to show

00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:00.960
 that I do have

00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:01.299
 pneumonia

00:38:01.299 --> 00:38:01.860
 but in fact

00:38:01.860 --> 00:38:02.380
 I don't have

00:38:02.380 --> 00:38:03.279
 anything that

00:38:03.279 --> 00:38:03.920
 looks like a

00:38:03.920 --> 00:38:04.219
 tumor

00:38:04.219 --> 00:38:07.139
 and so it's

00:38:07.139 --> 00:38:07.539
 a bit of a

00:38:07.539 --> 00:38:08.219
 model about

00:38:08.219 --> 00:38:08.860
 how the more

00:38:08.860 --> 00:38:10.019
 moral you become

00:38:10.019 --> 00:38:10.659
 the more moral

00:38:10.659 --> 00:38:11.699
 clarity you have

00:38:11.699 --> 00:38:12.119
 you'll be able

00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:12.739
 to perceive

00:38:12.739 --> 00:38:13.480
 things better

00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:14.400
 and the right

00:38:14.400 --> 00:38:14.739
 and wrong

00:38:14.739 --> 00:38:15.360
 in your life

00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:15.960
 you'll be able

00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:16.519
 to perceive

00:38:16.519 --> 00:38:16.960
 it better

00:38:16.960 --> 00:38:17.400
 and better

00:38:17.400 --> 00:38:18.300
 but here's

00:38:18.300 --> 00:38:18.820
 the thing

00:38:18.820 --> 00:38:20.220
 if the doctor

00:38:20.220 --> 00:38:21.059
 had found

00:38:21.059 --> 00:38:21.780
 cancer

00:38:21.780 --> 00:38:23.480
 a tumorous

00:38:23.480 --> 00:38:24.059
 cancer

00:38:24.059 --> 00:38:25.059
 or a cancer

00:38:25.059 --> 00:38:25.440
 that he thought

00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:25.800
 might be

00:38:25.800 --> 00:38:26.240
 tumorous

00:38:26.240 --> 00:38:27.559
 I can't say

00:38:27.559 --> 00:38:28.880
 okay well

00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:29.240
 that's really

00:38:29.240 --> 00:38:29.980
 hard news

00:38:29.980 --> 00:38:31.140
 put me back

00:38:31.140 --> 00:38:31.700
 in the CT

00:38:31.700 --> 00:38:32.260
 scanner

00:38:32.260 --> 00:38:33.460
 because that

00:38:33.460 --> 00:38:33.720
 will make

00:38:33.720 --> 00:38:34.180
 me better

00:38:34.180 --> 00:38:35.180
 you go

00:38:35.180 --> 00:38:36.539
 no no

00:38:36.539 --> 00:38:36.760
 you don't

00:38:36.760 --> 00:38:37.180
 understand

00:38:37.180 --> 00:38:37.920
 CT scanners

00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:38.360
 don't make

00:38:38.360 --> 00:38:38.700
 you better

00:38:38.700 --> 00:38:39.320
 they just

00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:39.660
 show you

00:38:39.660 --> 00:38:40.019
 what's there

00:38:40.019 --> 00:38:40.300
 no no

00:38:40.300 --> 00:38:40.420
 no

00:38:40.420 --> 00:38:41.019
 put me back

00:38:41.019 --> 00:38:41.500
 in the CT

00:38:41.500 --> 00:38:41.860
 scanner

00:38:41.860 --> 00:38:42.099
 maybe

00:38:42.099 --> 00:38:42.840
 do I have

00:38:42.840 --> 00:38:43.120
 to go in

00:38:43.120 --> 00:38:43.680
 ten times

00:38:43.680 --> 00:38:44.099
 I'll go in

00:38:44.099 --> 00:38:44.660
 ten times

00:38:44.659 --> 00:38:45.199
 I don't

00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:45.579
 mind getting

00:38:45.579 --> 00:38:46.139
 things stuck

00:38:46.139 --> 00:38:46.659
 in my arm

00:38:46.659 --> 00:38:47.239
 and iodine

00:38:47.239 --> 00:38:47.839
 like just

00:38:47.839 --> 00:38:48.259
 keep putting

00:38:48.259 --> 00:38:48.779
 me in that

00:38:48.779 --> 00:38:49.199
 and in that

00:38:49.199 --> 00:38:49.619
 and in that

00:38:49.619 --> 00:38:50.059
 and in that

00:38:50.059 --> 00:38:50.480
 and in that

00:38:50.480 --> 00:38:50.839
 and in that

00:38:50.839 --> 00:38:51.239
 no no

00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:52.500
 CT scanners

00:38:52.500 --> 00:38:53.000
 don't make

00:38:53.000 --> 00:38:53.399
 you better

00:38:53.399 --> 00:38:55.719
 they don't

00:38:55.719 --> 00:38:56.059
 make you

00:38:56.059 --> 00:38:56.379
 better

00:38:56.380 --> 00:39:01.960
 and it's

00:39:01.960 --> 00:39:03.079
 so the law

00:39:03.079 --> 00:39:03.619
 what Paul

00:39:03.619 --> 00:39:04.039
 is saying

00:39:04.039 --> 00:39:04.519
 here is

00:39:04.519 --> 00:39:04.840
 the more

00:39:04.840 --> 00:39:05.660
 moral clarity

00:39:05.660 --> 00:39:06.240
 you have

00:39:06.240 --> 00:39:08.300
 the moral

00:39:08.300 --> 00:39:08.760
 clarity

00:39:08.760 --> 00:39:09.200
 is really

00:39:09.200 --> 00:39:09.619
 important

00:39:09.619 --> 00:39:10.000
 to be able

00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:10.680
 to understand

00:39:10.680 --> 00:39:11.140
 yourself

00:39:11.140 --> 00:39:12.160
 and more

00:39:12.160 --> 00:39:12.619
 importantly

00:39:12.619 --> 00:39:13.300
 it's really

00:39:13.300 --> 00:39:13.700
 important

00:39:13.700 --> 00:39:14.079
 because it

00:39:14.079 --> 00:39:14.360
 makes you

00:39:14.360 --> 00:39:14.660
 understand

00:39:14.660 --> 00:39:14.940
 your need

00:39:14.940 --> 00:39:15.539
 for God

00:39:15.539 --> 00:39:16.420
 but it

00:39:16.420 --> 00:39:17.059
 doesn't

00:39:17.059 --> 00:39:17.519
 actually

00:39:17.519 --> 00:39:17.860
 ever

00:39:17.860 --> 00:39:18.400
 heal

00:39:18.400 --> 00:39:20.400
 and it

00:39:20.400 --> 00:39:20.760
 doesn't

00:39:20.760 --> 00:39:21.160
 actually

00:39:21.160 --> 00:39:21.460
 ever

00:39:21.460 --> 00:39:21.920
 heal

00:39:21.920 --> 00:39:24.200
 it just

00:39:24.200 --> 00:39:24.860
 reveals

00:39:24.860 --> 00:39:26.619
 and

00:39:26.619 --> 00:39:27.480
 God

00:39:27.480 --> 00:39:28.200
 Paul

00:39:28.200 --> 00:39:28.579
 doesn't

00:39:28.579 --> 00:39:28.940
 bring us

00:39:28.940 --> 00:39:29.260
 to this

00:39:29.260 --> 00:39:29.659
 point in

00:39:29.659 --> 00:39:29.900
 time

00:39:29.900 --> 00:39:30.300
 just to

00:39:30.300 --> 00:39:30.599
 give us

00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:31.220
 a depressing

00:39:31.220 --> 00:39:32.019
 diagnosis

00:39:32.019 --> 00:39:33.320
 I don't

00:39:33.320 --> 00:39:33.500
 know if

00:39:33.500 --> 00:39:33.639
 I'm

00:39:33.639 --> 00:39:34.059
 pronouncing

00:39:34.059 --> 00:39:34.280
 this

00:39:34.280 --> 00:39:34.680
 correctly

00:39:34.680 --> 00:39:35.159
 but there

00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:35.740
 have been

00:39:35.740 --> 00:39:36.039
 people

00:39:36.039 --> 00:39:36.320
 in our

00:39:36.320 --> 00:39:36.920
 congregation

00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:37.659
 whose

00:39:37.659 --> 00:39:38.139
 loved ones

00:39:38.139 --> 00:39:38.500
 have had

00:39:38.500 --> 00:39:39.619
 Crutzfeld-Jakob

00:39:39.619 --> 00:39:39.960
 disease

00:39:39.960 --> 00:39:41.900
 and if

00:39:41.900 --> 00:39:42.119
 you get

00:39:42.119 --> 00:39:42.760
 a diagnosis

00:39:42.760 --> 00:39:44.099
 of Crutzfeld-Jakob

00:39:44.099 --> 00:39:44.480
 disease

00:39:44.480 --> 00:39:46.079
 the doctor

00:39:46.079 --> 00:39:46.539
 has to

00:39:46.539 --> 00:39:46.960
 say to

00:39:46.960 --> 00:39:47.240
 you

00:39:47.240 --> 00:39:49.599
 I have

00:39:49.599 --> 00:39:49.820
 really

00:39:49.820 --> 00:39:50.059
 really

00:39:50.059 --> 00:39:50.440
 hard

00:39:50.440 --> 00:39:50.980
 news

00:39:50.980 --> 00:39:53.099
 all of

00:39:53.099 --> 00:39:53.539
 the tests

00:39:53.539 --> 00:39:54.019
 have revealed

00:39:54.019 --> 00:39:54.340
 that you

00:39:54.340 --> 00:39:54.500
 have

00:39:54.500 --> 00:39:54.840
 Jacob

00:39:54.840 --> 00:39:55.320
 Crutzfeld

00:39:55.320 --> 00:39:55.940
 disease

00:39:55.940 --> 00:39:57.300
 and there's

00:39:57.300 --> 00:39:57.900
 absolutely

00:39:57.900 --> 00:39:58.559
 no cure

00:39:58.559 --> 00:39:59.220
 whatsoever

00:39:59.220 --> 00:40:00.780
 and you

00:40:00.780 --> 00:40:01.079
 will be

00:40:01.079 --> 00:40:01.340
 dead

00:40:01.340 --> 00:40:01.820
 probably

00:40:01.820 --> 00:40:02.260
 within

00:40:02.260 --> 00:40:03.240
 a year

00:40:03.240 --> 00:40:03.840
 maybe

00:40:03.840 --> 00:40:04.220
 two

00:40:04.220 --> 00:40:06.659
 and they

00:40:06.659 --> 00:40:07.139
 can describe

00:40:07.139 --> 00:40:07.460
 what will

00:40:07.460 --> 00:40:07.980
 happen to

00:40:07.980 --> 00:40:08.179
 you

00:40:08.179 --> 00:40:12.359
 but what

00:40:12.359 --> 00:40:12.799
 Paul is

00:40:12.799 --> 00:40:13.339
 doing here

00:40:13.339 --> 00:40:13.759
 is not

00:40:13.759 --> 00:40:14.219
 giving you

00:40:14.219 --> 00:40:14.899
 a diagnosis

00:40:14.899 --> 00:40:15.739
 like this

00:40:15.739 --> 00:40:16.960
 and his

00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:17.759
 profound

00:40:17.759 --> 00:40:18.500
 diagnosis

00:40:18.500 --> 00:40:18.940
 of the

00:40:18.940 --> 00:40:19.219
 human

00:40:19.219 --> 00:40:19.779
 condition

00:40:19.779 --> 00:40:20.639
 is making

00:40:20.639 --> 00:40:21.219
 you aware

00:40:21.219 --> 00:40:21.559
 of the

00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:21.919
 fact

00:40:21.919 --> 00:40:22.559
 that you

00:40:22.559 --> 00:40:22.859
 shouldn't

00:40:22.859 --> 00:40:23.079
 have

00:40:23.079 --> 00:40:23.480
 false

00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:23.779
 hope

00:40:23.779 --> 00:40:24.460
 that you

00:40:24.460 --> 00:40:24.799
 shouldn't

00:40:24.799 --> 00:40:25.000
 say

00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:25.299
 well if

00:40:25.299 --> 00:40:25.599
 I just

00:40:25.599 --> 00:40:26.099
 follow this

00:40:26.099 --> 00:40:26.480
 religion

00:40:26.480 --> 00:40:26.899
 and their

00:40:26.899 --> 00:40:27.339
 rules

00:40:27.339 --> 00:40:28.000
 or if

00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:28.399
 I just

00:40:28.399 --> 00:40:28.739
 learn how

00:40:28.739 --> 00:40:28.980
 to do

00:40:28.980 --> 00:40:29.219
 this

00:40:29.219 --> 00:40:29.579
 type of

00:40:29.579 --> 00:40:29.980
 meditation

00:40:29.980 --> 00:40:30.319
 and do

00:40:30.319 --> 00:40:30.579
 these

00:40:30.579 --> 00:40:30.879
 types

00:40:30.879 --> 00:40:31.039
 of

00:40:31.039 --> 00:40:31.339
 things

00:40:31.339 --> 00:40:31.879
 or if

00:40:31.879 --> 00:40:32.019
 I

00:40:32.019 --> 00:40:32.199
 go

00:40:32.199 --> 00:40:32.419
 and get

00:40:32.419 --> 00:40:32.819
 a second

00:40:32.819 --> 00:40:33.179
 opinion

00:40:33.179 --> 00:40:33.480
 about

00:40:33.480 --> 00:40:33.839
 this

00:40:33.839 --> 00:40:34.419
 or if

00:40:34.419 --> 00:40:34.699
 I

00:40:34.699 --> 00:40:35.460
 just

00:40:35.460 --> 00:40:35.919
 ignore

00:40:35.919 --> 00:40:36.239
 all of

00:40:36.239 --> 00:40:36.379
 these

00:40:36.379 --> 00:40:36.599
 things

00:40:36.599 --> 00:40:36.899
 and just

00:40:36.899 --> 00:40:37.119
 spend

00:40:37.119 --> 00:40:37.319
 my

00:40:37.319 --> 00:40:37.599
 time

00:40:37.599 --> 00:40:37.819
 living

00:40:37.820 --> 00:40:37.980
 a

00:40:37.980 --> 00:40:38.320
 completely

00:40:38.320 --> 00:40:38.800
 secular

00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:39.120
 self

00:40:39.120 --> 00:40:39.320
 centered

00:40:39.320 --> 00:40:39.640
 life

00:40:39.640 --> 00:40:40.280
 and all

00:40:40.280 --> 00:40:40.539
 of these

00:40:40.539 --> 00:40:40.780
 types

00:40:40.780 --> 00:40:41.140
 of things

00:40:41.140 --> 00:40:41.420
 and the

00:40:41.420 --> 00:40:42.140
 purpose

00:40:42.140 --> 00:40:43.220
 of the

00:40:43.220 --> 00:40:44.220
 diagnosis

00:40:44.220 --> 00:40:44.700
 is that

00:40:44.700 --> 00:40:45.000
 you have

00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:45.380
 something

00:40:45.380 --> 00:40:45.840
 which is

00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:46.500
 unbelievably

00:40:46.500 --> 00:40:47.180
 serious

00:40:47.180 --> 00:40:47.860
 that you

00:40:47.860 --> 00:40:48.240
 cannot

00:40:48.240 --> 00:40:48.519
 heal

00:40:48.519 --> 00:40:49.120
 for yourself

00:40:49.120 --> 00:40:49.680
 so you

00:40:49.680 --> 00:40:50.080
 should not

00:40:50.080 --> 00:40:50.360
 have

00:40:50.360 --> 00:40:50.740
 false

00:40:50.740 --> 00:40:51.039
 hope

00:40:51.039 --> 00:40:52.180
 and it's

00:40:52.180 --> 00:40:52.539
 not a

00:40:52.539 --> 00:40:52.740
 case

00:40:52.740 --> 00:40:53.080
 that there's

00:40:53.080 --> 00:40:53.519
 no hope

00:40:53.519 --> 00:40:53.780
 but it's

00:40:53.780 --> 00:40:54.059
 just that

00:40:54.059 --> 00:40:54.260
 you should

00:40:54.260 --> 00:40:54.580
 have no

00:40:54.580 --> 00:40:54.920
 false

00:40:54.920 --> 00:40:55.120
 hope

00:40:55.120 --> 00:40:55.680
 but there

00:40:55.680 --> 00:40:56.260
 is hope

00:40:56.260 --> 00:40:57.580
 and what

00:40:57.580 --> 00:40:57.880
 is the

00:40:57.880 --> 00:40:58.200
 hope

00:40:58.200 --> 00:40:59.460
 the hope

00:40:59.460 --> 00:41:00.340
 is already

00:41:00.340 --> 00:41:01.200
 pointed

00:41:01.200 --> 00:41:02.180
 at in

00:41:02.180 --> 00:41:02.660
 several

00:41:02.660 --> 00:41:03.200
 ways

00:41:03.200 --> 00:41:03.780
 it's

00:41:03.780 --> 00:41:04.140
 hope

00:41:04.140 --> 00:41:04.400
 if you

00:41:04.400 --> 00:41:04.660
 put up

00:41:04.660 --> 00:41:05.000
 the sixth

00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:05.180
 point

00:41:05.180 --> 00:41:05.480
 that would

00:41:05.480 --> 00:41:05.800
 be really

00:41:05.800 --> 00:41:06.160
 helpful

00:41:06.160 --> 00:41:06.860
 despite

00:41:06.860 --> 00:41:07.720
 human beings

00:41:07.720 --> 00:41:08.519
 being sinful

00:41:08.519 --> 00:41:09.480
 disinterested

00:41:09.480 --> 00:41:10.300
 and hostile

00:41:10.300 --> 00:41:12.360
 despite human

00:41:12.360 --> 00:41:12.920
 beings being

00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:13.400
 sinful

00:41:13.400 --> 00:41:14.160
 disinterested

00:41:14.160 --> 00:41:14.579
 and hostile

00:41:14.579 --> 00:41:15.220
 towards God

00:41:15.220 --> 00:41:16.519
 God accomplished

00:41:16.519 --> 00:41:17.500
 real eternal

00:41:17.500 --> 00:41:18.160
 salvation

00:41:18.160 --> 00:41:19.220
 in the person

00:41:19.220 --> 00:41:19.900
 and the work

00:41:19.900 --> 00:41:20.460
 of the Lord

00:41:20.460 --> 00:41:21.260
 Jesus Christ

00:41:21.260 --> 00:41:22.160
 he did it

00:41:22.160 --> 00:41:22.460
 with his

00:41:22.460 --> 00:41:22.880
 word

00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:24.420
 which reveals

00:41:24.420 --> 00:41:25.079
 and he does it

00:41:25.079 --> 00:41:25.780
 with salvation

00:41:25.780 --> 00:41:27.079
 which heals

00:41:27.079 --> 00:41:28.960
 and you put

00:41:28.960 --> 00:41:29.460
 your faith

00:41:29.460 --> 00:41:30.019
 in Christ

00:41:30.019 --> 00:41:30.680
 there's this

00:41:30.680 --> 00:41:31.420
 wonderful text

00:41:31.420 --> 00:41:32.059
 that Paul writes

00:41:32.059 --> 00:41:32.620
 around the same

00:41:32.620 --> 00:41:33.360
 time in 2nd

00:41:33.360 --> 00:41:34.280
 Corinthians 5

00:41:34.280 --> 00:41:34.980
 verse 21

00:41:34.980 --> 00:41:35.599
 God made

00:41:35.599 --> 00:41:36.059
 him who

00:41:36.059 --> 00:41:36.480
 knew no

00:41:36.480 --> 00:41:36.720
 sin

00:41:36.720 --> 00:41:37.079
 to be

00:41:37.079 --> 00:41:37.280
 sin

00:41:37.280 --> 00:41:37.720
 for us

00:41:37.720 --> 00:41:38.320
 so that

00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:38.720
 in him

00:41:38.720 --> 00:41:39.079
 we might

00:41:39.079 --> 00:41:39.360
 become

00:41:39.360 --> 00:41:39.840
 the righteousness

00:41:39.840 --> 00:41:40.280
 of God

00:41:40.280 --> 00:41:40.559
 there's a

00:41:40.559 --> 00:41:41.360
 whole book

00:41:41.360 --> 00:41:41.980
 of theology

00:41:41.980 --> 00:41:42.240
 there

00:41:42.240 --> 00:41:42.559
 but the

00:41:42.559 --> 00:41:43.039
 very very

00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:43.460
 basic

00:41:43.460 --> 00:41:43.800
 lesson

00:41:43.800 --> 00:41:44.440
 is this

00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:45.099
 that when

00:41:45.099 --> 00:41:45.480
 we put

00:41:45.480 --> 00:41:46.180
 what Jesus

00:41:46.180 --> 00:41:46.680
 accomplished

00:41:46.680 --> 00:41:47.120
 for us

00:41:47.120 --> 00:41:47.380
 on the

00:41:47.380 --> 00:41:47.680
 cross

00:41:47.680 --> 00:41:48.260
 he is

00:41:48.260 --> 00:41:49.280
 the sinless

00:41:49.280 --> 00:41:50.740
 the sinless

00:41:50.740 --> 00:41:51.400
 perfect

00:41:51.400 --> 00:41:52.240
 human being

00:41:52.240 --> 00:41:52.980
 and he

00:41:52.980 --> 00:41:53.640
 comes

00:41:53.640 --> 00:41:54.780
 fully human

00:41:54.780 --> 00:41:55.500
 to die

00:41:55.500 --> 00:41:56.039
 upon the

00:41:56.039 --> 00:41:56.519
 cross

00:41:56.519 --> 00:41:57.180
 that the

00:41:57.180 --> 00:41:57.800
 things

00:41:57.800 --> 00:41:58.320
 which

00:41:58.320 --> 00:41:59.300
 the life

00:41:59.300 --> 00:41:59.660
 I should

00:41:59.660 --> 00:42:00.099
 have lived

00:42:00.099 --> 00:42:00.780
 and I

00:42:00.780 --> 00:42:01.140
 couldn't

00:42:01.140 --> 00:42:01.900
 he lived

00:42:01.900 --> 00:42:03.500
 and the

00:42:03.500 --> 00:42:03.960
 punishment

00:42:03.960 --> 00:42:04.380
 that I

00:42:04.380 --> 00:42:04.900
 deserved

00:42:04.900 --> 00:42:05.980
 he takes

00:42:05.980 --> 00:42:06.619
 and when

00:42:06.619 --> 00:42:06.960
 I put

00:42:06.960 --> 00:42:07.539
 my hands

00:42:07.539 --> 00:42:07.800
 in the

00:42:07.800 --> 00:42:08.059
 hands

00:42:08.059 --> 00:42:08.599
 of Christ

00:42:08.599 --> 00:42:09.599
 he takes

00:42:09.599 --> 00:42:10.119
 me into

00:42:10.119 --> 00:42:10.579
 himself

00:42:10.579 --> 00:42:11.000
 I enter

00:42:11.000 --> 00:42:11.700
 into union

00:42:11.700 --> 00:42:12.460
 with him

00:42:12.460 --> 00:42:13.619
 and

00:42:13.619 --> 00:42:15.240
 well here's

00:42:15.240 --> 00:42:15.579
 what it's

00:42:15.579 --> 00:42:15.900
 like

00:42:15.900 --> 00:42:17.099
 here's this

00:42:17.099 --> 00:42:17.800
 example I think

00:42:17.800 --> 00:42:18.280
 a year or two

00:42:18.280 --> 00:42:18.780
 ago I'll use

00:42:18.780 --> 00:42:19.220
 it again

00:42:19.220 --> 00:42:20.420
 imagine there

00:42:20.420 --> 00:42:21.099
 was a childhood

00:42:21.099 --> 00:42:21.880
 version of

00:42:21.880 --> 00:42:22.300
 Jacob

00:42:22.300 --> 00:42:23.039
 of Critzfeld

00:42:23.039 --> 00:42:23.420
 Jacob

00:42:23.420 --> 00:42:24.000
 disease

00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:25.920
 but at the

00:42:25.920 --> 00:42:26.440
 same time

00:42:26.440 --> 00:42:26.780
 that they

00:42:26.780 --> 00:42:27.280
 discovered

00:42:27.280 --> 00:42:27.639
 that there

00:42:27.639 --> 00:42:27.920
 was this

00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:28.260
 terrible

00:42:28.260 --> 00:42:28.860
 version of

00:42:28.860 --> 00:42:29.380
 this disease

00:42:29.380 --> 00:42:29.880
 they also

00:42:29.880 --> 00:42:30.480
 discovered

00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:30.960
 one and

00:42:30.960 --> 00:42:31.700
 only one

00:42:31.699 --> 00:42:32.079
 cure

00:42:32.079 --> 00:42:33.859
 and so

00:42:33.859 --> 00:42:34.279
 they come

00:42:34.279 --> 00:42:34.679
 to my

00:42:34.679 --> 00:42:35.179
 family

00:42:35.179 --> 00:42:35.980
 and they

00:42:35.980 --> 00:42:37.279
 tell one

00:42:37.279 --> 00:42:37.599
 of my

00:42:37.599 --> 00:42:38.019
 kids

00:42:38.019 --> 00:42:38.599
 that their

00:42:38.599 --> 00:42:39.239
 eight-year-old

00:42:39.239 --> 00:42:39.699
 daughter

00:42:39.699 --> 00:42:40.539
 has this

00:42:40.539 --> 00:42:40.980
 thing which

00:42:40.980 --> 00:42:41.419
 will kill

00:42:41.419 --> 00:42:41.739
 them within

00:42:41.739 --> 00:42:42.259
 a year or

00:42:42.259 --> 00:42:42.419
 two

00:42:42.419 --> 00:42:44.199
 and then

00:42:44.199 --> 00:42:44.579
 they'll say

00:42:44.579 --> 00:42:45.099
 there is a

00:42:45.099 --> 00:42:46.199
 cure

00:42:46.199 --> 00:42:47.759
 it's rare

00:42:47.759 --> 00:42:48.319
 and it depends

00:42:48.319 --> 00:42:48.679
 upon there

00:42:48.679 --> 00:42:49.019
 being a

00:42:49.019 --> 00:42:49.839
 perfect match

00:42:49.839 --> 00:42:50.359
 but it might

00:42:50.359 --> 00:42:50.799
 be that

00:42:50.799 --> 00:42:51.199
 there's

00:42:51.199 --> 00:42:52.419
 I mean

00:42:52.419 --> 00:42:53.159
 what that

00:42:53.159 --> 00:42:53.559
 would really

00:42:53.559 --> 00:42:54.059
 involve

00:42:54.059 --> 00:42:54.739
 is that

00:42:54.739 --> 00:42:55.980
 we would

00:42:55.980 --> 00:42:56.399
 hook

00:42:56.399 --> 00:42:57.379
 somebody up

00:42:57.379 --> 00:42:57.819
 to your

00:42:57.819 --> 00:42:58.259
 child

00:42:58.259 --> 00:42:59.000
 and there

00:42:59.000 --> 00:42:59.279
 would be

00:42:59.279 --> 00:42:59.679
 tubes

00:42:59.679 --> 00:43:00.139
 having the

00:43:00.139 --> 00:43:00.599
 blood going

00:43:00.599 --> 00:43:01.099
 back and

00:43:01.099 --> 00:43:01.460
 forward

00:43:01.460 --> 00:43:02.559
 and if

00:43:02.559 --> 00:43:03.220
 that person

00:43:03.220 --> 00:43:03.800
 who's the

00:43:03.800 --> 00:43:04.260
 match

00:43:04.260 --> 00:43:05.519
 and can

00:43:05.519 --> 00:43:05.840
 identify

00:43:05.840 --> 00:43:06.420
 if

00:43:06.420 --> 00:43:09.000
 we'll take

00:43:09.000 --> 00:43:09.800
 their blood

00:43:09.800 --> 00:43:10.340
 and everything

00:43:10.340 --> 00:43:10.940
 and their

00:43:10.940 --> 00:43:11.460
 health will

00:43:11.460 --> 00:43:11.940
 go out of

00:43:11.940 --> 00:43:12.300
 them

00:43:12.300 --> 00:43:13.840
 into the

00:43:13.840 --> 00:43:14.380
 eight-year-old

00:43:14.380 --> 00:43:14.720
 girl

00:43:14.720 --> 00:43:15.880
 and the

00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:16.480
 eight-year-old

00:43:16.480 --> 00:43:17.559
 girl's deadly

00:43:17.559 --> 00:43:18.260
 disease will

00:43:18.260 --> 00:43:18.800
 go in

00:43:18.800 --> 00:43:20.500
 to the

00:43:20.500 --> 00:43:21.400
 donor

00:43:21.400 --> 00:43:23.340
 and they do

00:43:23.340 --> 00:43:23.960
 a research

00:43:23.960 --> 00:43:24.659
 and they find

00:43:24.659 --> 00:43:25.159
 out that my

00:43:25.159 --> 00:43:26.320
 wife is a

00:43:26.320 --> 00:43:27.159
 perfect match

00:43:27.159 --> 00:43:29.759
 for her

00:43:29.759 --> 00:43:30.219
 eight-year-old

00:43:30.219 --> 00:43:30.699
 granddaughter

00:43:30.699 --> 00:43:33.420
 she would

00:43:33.420 --> 00:43:34.019
 not hesitate

00:43:34.019 --> 00:43:34.480
 to say

00:43:34.480 --> 00:43:34.859
 yes

00:43:34.859 --> 00:43:39.099
 she would

00:43:39.099 --> 00:43:39.719
 not hesitate

00:43:39.719 --> 00:43:42.739
 she would

00:43:42.739 --> 00:43:43.259
 say I

00:43:43.259 --> 00:43:43.619
 will be

00:43:43.619 --> 00:43:44.000

00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:44.480
 to you

00:43:44.480 --> 00:43:46.339
 so you
