00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.160
 A young police cadet was taking his final exam at Hendon Police College in North London

00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:12.099
 before he was unleashed upon the British public.

00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:18.339
 One of the questions in the exam paper in his final exam read like this.

00:00:19.240 --> 00:00:25.820
 You're out on patrol in outer London when an explosion occurs in a gas main in a nearby street.

00:00:25.820 --> 00:00:31.100
 On investigation you discover that a large hole has been blown in the footpath

00:00:31.100 --> 00:00:35.980
 and a nearby block of flats is on fire with people trying to escape.

00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:40.500
 Beside the blast site is an overturned van.

00:00:41.579 --> 00:00:44.700
 Inside the van there's a strong smell of marijuana.

00:00:45.780 --> 00:00:50.820
 The occupants of the van, a man and a woman, are half naked and injured.

00:00:50.820 --> 00:00:56.259
 You notice that the woman in the van is the wife of your divisional inspector

00:00:56.259 --> 00:00:59.780
 who is at present away in the United States.

00:01:00.620 --> 00:01:06.280
 A passing motorist stops to offer assistance and you recognise him as the suspect in an armed robbery case.

00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:12.579
 Then suddenly a man runs out of a nearby house shouting that his wife, who was expecting a baby,

00:01:13.180 --> 00:01:15.180
 has gone into labour due to the explosion.

00:01:15.180 --> 00:01:22.940
 Another man who's been blown into the adjacent canal is crying out for help because he can't swim.

00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:28.700
 By now a crowd of onlookers has formed and there's a risk of a second explosion.

00:01:29.720 --> 00:01:30.660
 Then comes the question.

00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:34.380
 Bearing in mind the provision of the Mental Health Act,

00:01:35.219 --> 00:01:38.520
 describe in a few words what actions you would take.

00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:42.119
 His answer?

00:01:43.060 --> 00:01:45.560
 I would take off my uniform and mingle with the crowd.

00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:54.899
 I imagine that that's a pretty clever answer,

00:01:55.120 --> 00:02:01.939
 but I imagine that many of us, although we may not know the feeling of being in that exact situation,

00:02:02.060 --> 00:02:05.620
 know what it is to try and take the uniform off and to mingle with the crowd.

00:02:05.620 --> 00:02:11.700
 You see, the stakes are high when a police officer takes their uniform off and mingles with the crowd,

00:02:11.920 --> 00:02:18.840
 but the stakes, I think, are astronomical when the Christian church loses heart for its mission and purpose,

00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:27.180
 and in fact, loses vision for it, which is why we are doing this series now in Vision Month.

00:02:27.180 --> 00:02:35.819
 We've seen so far that we exist as a church to know Jesus and to treasure Jesus.

00:02:36.460 --> 00:02:41.760
 And what flows from that is the next part of our mission statement,

00:02:41.900 --> 00:02:44.000
 that is that we represent Jesus.

00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:50.879
 Given the infinite value of knowing and being known by Jesus,

00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:54.240
 we exist to represent Jesus.

00:02:55.460 --> 00:03:00.599
 And so I want to look at these few verses in 2 Corinthians 5 and 6,

00:03:01.379 --> 00:03:04.340
 because I think that they will help us

00:03:04.340 --> 00:03:08.300
 not to give up hope

00:03:08.300 --> 00:03:10.199
 and to effectively

00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:14.139
 keep our uniform on as Christians.

00:03:14.139 --> 00:03:20.359
 To say that we exist to represent Jesus

00:03:20.359 --> 00:03:27.919
 is not well received in our modern context in this country.

00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:32.279
 Religion, and especially Christianity in Australia,

00:03:32.739 --> 00:03:37.659
 is seen as a source of much of the world's problems.

00:03:37.659 --> 00:03:45.879
 Sigmund Freud, the Austrian neurologist and the father of psychoanalysis,

00:03:46.359 --> 00:03:54.379
 believe that all the world's problems come from the repression of deep desires for pleasure.

00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:01.740
 And so therefore the villains are the repressive moral gatekeepers in society,

00:04:01.740 --> 00:04:03.699
 like the Christian church.

00:04:04.419 --> 00:04:07.259
 That's the mood of our country.

00:04:07.659 --> 00:04:08.400
 At the moment.

00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:10.819
 We are seen, that is the Christian church,

00:04:10.859 --> 00:04:12.520
 is seen as the problem

00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:16.100
 rather than the solution to the world's problems.

00:04:17.100 --> 00:04:21.219
 And of course, given the church's track record over its history

00:04:21.219 --> 00:04:24.259
 in areas of things like morality and justice,

00:04:24.899 --> 00:04:29.199
 there has been quite a lot of trust eroded.

00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:33.139
 And so representing Jesus in a post-Christian culture

00:04:33.139 --> 00:04:39.039
 is often faced with skepticism and even hostility.

00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:42.839
 Unlike Freud, however,

00:04:43.500 --> 00:04:48.339
 the Christian worldview doesn't locate the problem of the world

00:04:48.339 --> 00:04:53.099
 in one part of the world or in one group of the world.

00:04:54.180 --> 00:04:56.139
 Christianity doesn't blame religion,

00:04:56.699 --> 00:04:58.459
 doesn't blame Muslims,

00:04:58.459 --> 00:05:00.319
 it doesn't blame terrorists,

00:05:00.459 --> 00:05:02.259
 it doesn't blame atheists,

00:05:02.620 --> 00:05:04.419
 it doesn't blame big business,

00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:06.779
 it doesn't blame immigrants.

00:05:07.620 --> 00:05:11.639
 It says the problem of the world is sin.

00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:18.299
 And it locates the solution to the world's problem in God's grace.

00:05:18.300 --> 00:05:21.259
 And so what the Christian worldview does,

00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:23.579
 it declares both a universal problem

00:05:23.579 --> 00:05:25.900
 and a universal solution.

00:05:26.900 --> 00:05:31.080
 And so thinking about what it means for us to represent Jesus,

00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:33.020
 I want to look at that universal problem

00:05:33.020 --> 00:05:35.019
 and the universal solution,

00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:36.800
 and in doing that,

00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:38.660
 I'm going to start digging around

00:05:38.660 --> 00:05:40.300
 in some core Christian beliefs

00:05:40.840 --> 00:05:44.560
 which are repulsive in our context.

00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:46.519
 things like sin,

00:05:47.100 --> 00:05:47.579
 judgment,

00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:48.360
 hell.

00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:51.959
 Sin and divine judgment

00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:54.980
 and the reality is

00:05:54.980 --> 00:05:56.639
 even God's solution

00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:59.079
 to our problem

00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:02.220
 are some of the most offensive elements

00:06:02.220 --> 00:06:03.459
 of the Christian faith today.

00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:07.279
 A good number of our society

00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:09.319
 still believe in God.

00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:10.879
 However,

00:06:12.019 --> 00:06:13.779
 the God that they believe in

00:06:13.779 --> 00:06:16.619
 is formed from an opinion

00:06:16.619 --> 00:06:17.779
 that is

00:06:17.779 --> 00:06:19.779
 that I have my own right

00:06:19.779 --> 00:06:21.539
 to choose my God

00:06:21.539 --> 00:06:23.699
 the way I want Him to be.

00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:26.559
 And so we have every right,

00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:27.479
 every individual

00:06:27.479 --> 00:06:29.139
 has every right

00:06:29.139 --> 00:06:31.179
 to arrive at their own religious belief

00:06:31.179 --> 00:06:32.119
 but independent

00:06:32.119 --> 00:06:34.159
 of all other religious groups.

00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:37.899
 And so the God that we form

00:06:37.899 --> 00:06:39.259
 in our mind

00:06:39.259 --> 00:06:40.759
 is the God

00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:42.939
 of love

00:06:42.939 --> 00:06:45.339
 who supports us

00:06:45.339 --> 00:06:47.560
 no matter what it is

00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:48.199
 that we do

00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:48.819
 or what it is

00:06:48.819 --> 00:06:49.480
 that we believe.

00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:51.360
 That's the conclusion

00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:52.079
 we come to.

00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:57.439
 Ironically,

00:06:59.259 --> 00:07:00.120
 no,

00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:02.019
 if you look out

00:07:02.019 --> 00:07:03.360
 in the world this week,

00:07:04.579 --> 00:07:06.159
 circumstances of our world,

00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:07.240
 you don't have to look much further

00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:08.180
 than Paris and go,

00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:10.600
 it's hard to believe

00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:11.260
 in a God of love.

00:07:12.400 --> 00:07:13.720
 If you look through history,

00:07:13.860 --> 00:07:14.900
 history doesn't affirm

00:07:14.900 --> 00:07:16.540
 a God of love.

00:07:19.260 --> 00:07:21.060
 If you look to world religions,

00:07:21.060 --> 00:07:24.759
 the only world religion

00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:26.180
 that says

00:07:26.180 --> 00:07:28.139
 that this world

00:07:28.139 --> 00:07:28.980
 was created

00:07:28.980 --> 00:07:30.480
 because of the love

00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:31.319
 and desire

00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:32.600
 of a merciful God

00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:33.860
 is Christianity.

00:07:35.139 --> 00:07:37.399
 It is the only world religion

00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:39.019
 that comes to the conclusion

00:07:39.019 --> 00:07:40.040
 that God is love

00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:43.220
 and is essential being.

00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:46.740
 And so to come to the conclusion

00:07:46.740 --> 00:07:47.939
 that God is love,

00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:49.660
 it has to flow

00:07:49.660 --> 00:07:51.060
 ultimately from a biblical

00:07:51.060 --> 00:07:52.200
 Christianity perspective.

00:07:53.780 --> 00:07:55.560
 But that same Bible

00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:56.520
 says that God

00:07:56.520 --> 00:07:58.060
 is also a God of justice.

00:07:59.820 --> 00:08:01.380
 But in our society,

00:08:02.580 --> 00:08:04.560
 for Christians to think

00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:05.440
 that there are people

00:08:05.440 --> 00:08:06.600
 who are bound for hell,

00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:11.220
 the conclusion is

00:08:11.220 --> 00:08:12.480
 that we must perceive

00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:14.480
 that such people

00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:15.840
 are unequal

00:08:15.840 --> 00:08:17.900
 in dignity and worth

00:08:17.899 --> 00:08:19.219
 as us.

00:08:20.939 --> 00:08:21.679
 And therefore,

00:08:21.799 --> 00:08:22.319
 they conclude

00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:23.120
 that that belief

00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:24.179
 leads to exclusion

00:08:24.179 --> 00:08:24.939
 and abuse

00:08:24.939 --> 00:08:25.519
 and division

00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:26.620
 and even violence.

00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:28.099
 And unfortunately,

00:08:28.299 --> 00:08:28.819
 throughout the history

00:08:28.819 --> 00:08:29.439
 of the Christian church,

00:08:29.500 --> 00:08:30.099
 it has.

00:08:31.500 --> 00:08:32.399
 And so let's unpack

00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:33.319
 some of this stuff

00:08:33.319 --> 00:08:34.579
 from

00:08:34.579 --> 00:08:38.179
 2 Corinthians 5

00:08:38.179 --> 00:08:39.899
 and see why

00:08:39.899 --> 00:08:41.719
 it is so essential

00:08:41.719 --> 00:08:42.919
 for Christians

00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:44.319
 to keep their uniform on

00:08:44.319 --> 00:08:45.620
 and to keep representing

00:08:45.620 --> 00:08:47.339
 Jesus against that climate.

00:08:48.459 --> 00:08:49.919
 2 Corinthians 5 verse 10,

00:08:50.539 --> 00:08:51.559
 For we must all appear

00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:52.539
 before the judgment seat

00:08:52.539 --> 00:08:53.059
 of Christ,

00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:54.599
 and each one must receive

00:08:54.599 --> 00:08:55.739
 what is due him

00:08:55.739 --> 00:08:57.779
 for the things done

00:08:57.779 --> 00:08:58.599
 while in the body,

00:08:58.719 --> 00:08:59.959
 whether good or bad.

00:09:00.439 --> 00:09:01.539
 What that's saying there

00:09:01.539 --> 00:09:03.339
 is that God will hold us

00:09:03.339 --> 00:09:04.439
 all accountable

00:09:04.439 --> 00:09:05.959
 for how we live.

00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:07.680
 Notice that the judgment seat

00:09:07.680 --> 00:09:08.800
 of Christ is universal.

00:09:09.060 --> 00:09:10.560
 We must all appear.

00:09:10.820 --> 00:09:11.480
 That's everyone,

00:09:11.740 --> 00:09:12.720
 no exceptions.

00:09:13.820 --> 00:09:14.820
 Notice too that while

00:09:14.820 --> 00:09:16.400
 it is for everyone,

00:09:16.700 --> 00:09:17.820
 we'll all be judged

00:09:17.820 --> 00:09:18.620
 individually.

00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:20.600
 Each one must give

00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:21.220
 an account.

00:09:22.180 --> 00:09:23.660
 Now Romans chapter 2

00:09:23.660 --> 00:09:25.540
 gives a vivid account

00:09:25.540 --> 00:09:26.700
 of what that day

00:09:26.700 --> 00:09:27.560
 will look like

00:09:27.560 --> 00:09:28.639
 and there are only

00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:29.519
 two outcomes

00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:30.580
 for the final reckoning

00:09:30.580 --> 00:09:31.379
 with the Lord Jesus.

00:09:31.920 --> 00:09:33.080
 Romans 2 verse 7,

00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:35.400
 To those who by persistence

00:09:35.400 --> 00:09:36.259
 in doing good

00:09:36.259 --> 00:09:37.100
 seek glory,

00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:38.620
 honour and immortality,

00:09:38.700 --> 00:09:40.259
 they will give eternal life.

00:09:40.660 --> 00:09:41.460
 But for those

00:09:41.460 --> 00:09:42.560
 who are self-seeking

00:09:42.560 --> 00:09:44.320
 and who reject the truth

00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:45.379
 and follow evil,

00:09:45.520 --> 00:09:46.420
 there will be wrath

00:09:46.420 --> 00:09:47.220
 and anger.

00:09:48.220 --> 00:09:48.980
 There will be trouble

00:09:48.980 --> 00:09:49.460
 and distress

00:09:49.460 --> 00:09:50.620
 for every human being

00:09:50.620 --> 00:09:51.440
 who does evil,

00:09:51.580 --> 00:09:52.440
 first for the Jew,

00:09:52.800 --> 00:09:53.580
 then for the Gentile,

00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:54.240
 but glory,

00:09:54.660 --> 00:09:55.600
 honour and peace

00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:56.280
 for everyone

00:09:56.280 --> 00:09:57.259
 who does good.

00:09:57.600 --> 00:09:58.520
 Now Sigmund Freud

00:09:58.520 --> 00:10:00.080
 suggests that self-seeking

00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:02.440
 is the solution

00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:03.740
 to the world's problem.

00:10:05.220 --> 00:10:06.460
 These verses suggest

00:10:06.460 --> 00:10:07.300
 that self-seeking

00:10:07.300 --> 00:10:09.020
 is the problem.

00:10:11.660 --> 00:10:13.139
 The Bible calls it sin

00:10:13.139 --> 00:10:16.360
 and sin is the universal problem.

00:10:17.139 --> 00:10:19.020
 Sin is not just doing bad things,

00:10:19.060 --> 00:10:20.280
 this is what we saw last week.

00:10:20.660 --> 00:10:22.700
 Sin is making good things

00:10:22.700 --> 00:10:25.040
 into ultimate things.

00:10:26.040 --> 00:10:27.520
 Sin is building your life

00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:29.519
 and meaning on anything,

00:10:29.659 --> 00:10:30.699
 even a very good thing

00:10:30.699 --> 00:10:31.460
 instead of God.

00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:32.579
 And so if you love

00:10:32.579 --> 00:10:33.600
 your reputation

00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:36.419
 more than truth,

00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:38.519
 you're likely to lie.

00:10:39.899 --> 00:10:41.360
 If you love money

00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:43.960
 more than family,

00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:45.600
 then you are most likely

00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:46.399
 going to neglect

00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:47.819
 your spouse and your children

00:10:47.819 --> 00:10:48.679
 for your career.

00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:50.980
 Sin is where we look

00:10:50.980 --> 00:10:51.860
 to good things

00:10:51.860 --> 00:10:52.899
 like money and career

00:10:52.899 --> 00:10:53.639
 and family

00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:54.720
 and to give us

00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:55.799
 that sense of significance

00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:56.699
 and acceptance.

00:10:56.700 --> 00:10:58.420
 and security

00:10:58.420 --> 00:11:00.080
 instead of God.

00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:02.540
 It's idolatry.

00:11:03.340 --> 00:11:04.840
 It's an idolatry

00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:06.759
 that leads to drivenness,

00:11:07.520 --> 00:11:08.100
 addictions,

00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:10.160
 severe anxiety,

00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:11.120
 obsessiveness,

00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:12.160
 envy of others,

00:11:12.340 --> 00:11:12.840
 resentment.

00:11:13.680 --> 00:11:14.300
 That is,

00:11:14.680 --> 00:11:15.940
 idolatry ruins.

00:11:17.160 --> 00:11:18.120
 Sin has the effect

00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:18.920
 of putting us

00:11:18.920 --> 00:11:20.120
 in,

00:11:20.259 --> 00:11:21.400
 like all addictions,

00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:23.420
 putting us into denial

00:11:23.420 --> 00:11:25.259
 about our hostility

00:11:25.259 --> 00:11:26.220
 towards God.

00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:27.960
 We become trapped

00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:28.879
 and enslaved

00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:30.860
 to our spiritual idols

00:11:30.860 --> 00:11:31.840
 in a way

00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:32.879
 that a person

00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:34.000
 might be addicted

00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:34.819
 to drugs

00:11:34.819 --> 00:11:35.720
 or gambling

00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:36.740
 or alcohol.

00:11:37.220 --> 00:11:38.700
 We live in denial

00:11:38.700 --> 00:11:40.039
 about how much

00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:41.259
 we are trampling

00:11:41.259 --> 00:11:42.960
 all over God

00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:44.879
 in a way that

00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:45.980
 an addict

00:11:45.980 --> 00:11:46.779
 is in denial

00:11:46.779 --> 00:11:47.679
 about how they're

00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:48.679
 trampling all over

00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:49.480
 their family

00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:50.539
 and their loved ones.

00:11:50.539 --> 00:11:51.079
 sin.

00:11:51.079 --> 00:11:53.699
 And the terrible

00:11:53.699 --> 00:11:54.519
 consequences

00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:55.819
 of a life of sin

00:11:55.819 --> 00:11:58.039
 is what Romans 2 verse 8

00:11:58.039 --> 00:11:59.639
 calls wrath and anger

00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:01.079
 from God.

00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.240
 I don't know

00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:03.879
 of anyone

00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:04.540
 who has

00:12:04.540 --> 00:12:06.600
 ever overstated

00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:07.860
 the terrors

00:12:07.860 --> 00:12:08.660
 of this wrath

00:12:08.660 --> 00:12:09.200
 and anger.

00:12:09.940 --> 00:12:10.840
 A God

00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:11.840
 who is both

00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:12.960
 a God of love

00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:14.400
 and a God

00:12:14.400 --> 00:12:15.160
 of justice

00:12:15.160 --> 00:12:16.120
 seems like

00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:16.840
 a contradiction.

00:12:18.420 --> 00:12:19.879
 But is it not true

00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:21.259
 that all

00:12:21.259 --> 00:12:22.240
 loving people

00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:23.460
 are sometimes

00:12:23.460 --> 00:12:24.620
 filled with anger

00:12:24.620 --> 00:12:25.980
 and seek justice?

00:12:25.980 --> 00:12:30.440
 when they do it

00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:32.460
 it's not because

00:12:32.460 --> 00:12:34.220
 of their love

00:12:34.220 --> 00:12:36.480
 sorry

00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:37.340
 when they do it

00:12:37.340 --> 00:12:38.740
 it is because

00:12:38.740 --> 00:12:39.860
 of their love

00:12:39.860 --> 00:12:40.860
 rather than

00:12:40.860 --> 00:12:41.779
 in spite of it.

00:12:42.980 --> 00:12:43.820
 Think of how

00:12:43.820 --> 00:12:44.360
 we feel

00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:44.899
 when someone

00:12:44.899 --> 00:12:45.460
 we love

00:12:45.460 --> 00:12:46.519
 is ravaged

00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:47.700
 by the wrong

00:12:47.700 --> 00:12:48.379
 actions

00:12:48.379 --> 00:12:48.960
 or

00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:51.080
 by a bad

00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:51.680
 relationship.

00:12:51.860 --> 00:12:52.879
 Do we respond

00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:53.800
 with a benign

00:12:53.800 --> 00:12:54.759
 intolerance?

00:12:55.980 --> 00:12:57.300
 Far from it.

00:12:58.519 --> 00:12:58.840
 You see

00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:00.720
 anger and justice

00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:01.620
 is not

00:13:01.620 --> 00:13:02.320
 the opposite

00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:03.159
 of love.

00:13:04.300 --> 00:13:05.060
 Hate

00:13:05.060 --> 00:13:05.960
 is the opposite

00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:06.779
 of love.

00:13:07.860 --> 00:13:08.920
 And the final

00:13:08.920 --> 00:13:09.740
 form of hate

00:13:09.740 --> 00:13:11.019
 is indifference.

00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:12.200
 God's justice

00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:13.620
 is not a cranky

00:13:13.620 --> 00:13:14.340
 explosion

00:13:14.340 --> 00:13:16.180
 but his

00:13:16.180 --> 00:13:16.700
 subtle

00:13:16.700 --> 00:13:17.480
 opposition

00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:19.240
 to the

00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:19.800
 cancer

00:13:19.800 --> 00:13:20.320
 that is

00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:21.080
 eating out

00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:21.440
 of the

00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:22.340
 insides

00:13:22.340 --> 00:13:23.200
 of the

00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:24.180
 human race

00:13:24.180 --> 00:13:25.019
 that he

00:13:25.019 --> 00:13:25.600
 loves

00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:26.480
 that he's

00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:27.040
 created

00:13:27.040 --> 00:13:31.440
 God's

00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:31.800
 justice

00:13:31.800 --> 00:13:32.300
 flows

00:13:32.300 --> 00:13:32.840
 from his

00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:33.259
 love

00:13:33.259 --> 00:13:33.700
 and his

00:13:33.700 --> 00:13:34.279
 delight

00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:35.100
 in the

00:13:35.100 --> 00:13:35.659
 creation

00:13:35.659 --> 00:13:36.240
 that he

00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:36.560
 loves

00:13:36.560 --> 00:13:36.940
 with all

00:13:36.940 --> 00:13:37.180
 of his

00:13:37.180 --> 00:13:37.519
 heart.

00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:39.360
 He is

00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:39.759
 angry

00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:40.560
 at evil

00:13:40.560 --> 00:13:41.340
 and injustice

00:13:41.340 --> 00:13:42.639
 because it

00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:43.560
 is destroying

00:13:43.560 --> 00:13:44.740
 its peace

00:13:44.740 --> 00:13:45.180
 and its

00:13:45.180 --> 00:13:45.720
 integrity.

00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:50.240
 that sits

00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:51.600
 I think

00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:52.120
 with our

00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:52.800
 hearts

00:13:52.800 --> 00:13:54.540
 that sits

00:13:54.540 --> 00:13:55.040
 with us

00:13:55.040 --> 00:13:55.420
 with our

00:13:55.420 --> 00:13:55.680
 inner

00:13:55.680 --> 00:13:56.259
 beings

00:13:56.259 --> 00:13:57.220
 the human

00:13:57.220 --> 00:13:57.920
 impulse

00:13:57.920 --> 00:13:58.879
 to make

00:13:58.879 --> 00:13:59.940
 perpetrators

00:13:59.940 --> 00:14:00.860
 of violence

00:14:00.860 --> 00:14:01.779
 pay for their

00:14:01.779 --> 00:14:02.399
 crimes

00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:03.820
 is almost

00:14:03.820 --> 00:14:04.700
 overwhelming

00:14:04.700 --> 00:14:05.879
 when you

00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:06.560
 look at

00:14:06.560 --> 00:14:06.860
 that

00:14:06.860 --> 00:14:07.080
 and you

00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:07.500
 see the

00:14:07.500 --> 00:14:07.940
 scenes

00:14:07.940 --> 00:14:08.700
 on television

00:14:08.700 --> 00:14:09.259
 about what's

00:14:09.259 --> 00:14:09.720
 happened in

00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:10.200
 Paris

00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:12.320
 do you have

00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:12.980
 a benign

00:14:12.980 --> 00:14:14.120
 intolerance

00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:16.560
 or benign

00:14:16.560 --> 00:14:17.220
 tolerance

00:14:17.220 --> 00:14:20.140
 or is it

00:14:20.140 --> 00:14:22.660
 we pray for

00:14:22.660 --> 00:14:23.300
 perpetrators

00:14:23.300 --> 00:14:24.000
 of such evil

00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:24.440
 to be brought

00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:25.100
 to justice

00:14:25.100 --> 00:14:30.080
 and the

00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:31.100
 best resource

00:14:31.100 --> 00:14:32.220
 to satisfy

00:14:32.220 --> 00:14:33.420
 that innate

00:14:33.420 --> 00:14:34.259
 desire

00:14:34.259 --> 00:14:35.759
 for justice

00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:37.220
 is belief

00:14:37.220 --> 00:14:38.139
 in a God

00:14:38.139 --> 00:14:40.379
 who will

00:14:40.379 --> 00:14:41.399
 finally put

00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:42.060
 all things

00:14:42.060 --> 00:14:42.700
 right and

00:14:42.700 --> 00:14:43.399
 settle all

00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:44.040
 accounts

00:14:44.040 --> 00:14:45.440
 and so in

00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:46.060
 view of this

00:14:46.060 --> 00:14:46.899
 verse 11

00:14:46.899 --> 00:14:48.159
 since then we

00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:48.659
 know what it

00:14:48.659 --> 00:14:49.420
 is to fear

00:14:49.420 --> 00:14:49.980
 the Lord

00:14:49.980 --> 00:14:51.180
 we try to

00:14:51.180 --> 00:14:52.560
 persuade men

00:14:52.560 --> 00:14:53.920
 you see the

00:14:53.920 --> 00:14:54.420
 judgment of

00:14:54.420 --> 00:14:54.820
 God

00:14:54.820 --> 00:14:55.960
 leads Christians

00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:56.540
 to pursue

00:14:56.540 --> 00:14:57.460
 reconciliation

00:14:57.460 --> 00:14:59.820
 not vengeance

00:14:59.820 --> 00:15:03.900
 you see anyone

00:15:03.900 --> 00:15:04.600
 who thinks

00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:04.920
 that the

00:15:04.920 --> 00:15:05.660
 Christian response

00:15:05.660 --> 00:15:06.320
 to injustice

00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:07.460
 is to pick

00:15:07.460 --> 00:15:08.120
 up a gun

00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:08.800
 and to fight

00:15:08.800 --> 00:15:09.100
 for the

00:15:09.100 --> 00:15:09.540
 honour of

00:15:09.540 --> 00:15:10.000
 God

00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:11.560
 or to

00:15:11.560 --> 00:15:12.460
 exercise

00:15:12.460 --> 00:15:13.720
 God's

00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:14.200
 justice

00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:14.960
 is a

00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:15.540
 lunatic

00:15:15.540 --> 00:15:20.520
 now the

00:15:20.520 --> 00:15:20.840
 fear of

00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:21.300
 God is a

00:15:21.300 --> 00:15:22.080
 right motivation

00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:22.460
 but it

00:15:22.460 --> 00:15:22.880
 isn't our

00:15:22.880 --> 00:15:23.820
 only motivation

00:15:23.820 --> 00:15:24.360
 to represent

00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:24.780
 Jesus

00:15:24.779 --> 00:15:25.339
 and persuade

00:15:25.339 --> 00:15:25.919
 people of

00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:26.500
 this truth

00:15:26.500 --> 00:15:27.199
 the fear

00:15:27.199 --> 00:15:27.600
 of hell

00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:28.120
 and of

00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:28.639
 God

00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:29.279
 is no

00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:29.659
 proof

00:15:29.659 --> 00:15:29.959
 that you

00:15:29.959 --> 00:15:30.480
 actually

00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:30.860
 treasure

00:15:30.860 --> 00:15:31.459
 Jesus

00:15:31.459 --> 00:15:32.919
 we are

00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:33.299
 told in

00:15:33.299 --> 00:15:34.059
 verse 14

00:15:34.059 --> 00:15:34.659
 that fear

00:15:34.659 --> 00:15:35.139
 of judgment

00:15:35.139 --> 00:15:35.620
 is not

00:15:35.620 --> 00:15:35.939
 Paul's

00:15:35.939 --> 00:15:36.620
 only motive

00:15:36.620 --> 00:15:37.100
 he says

00:15:37.100 --> 00:15:38.379
 for Christ's

00:15:38.379 --> 00:15:38.720
 love

00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:39.339
 compels

00:15:39.339 --> 00:15:39.799
 us

00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:41.519
 and these

00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:41.919
 verses

00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:42.860
 are rich

00:15:42.860 --> 00:15:43.559
 in the

00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:44.100
 wonder

00:15:44.100 --> 00:15:44.919
 of Christ's

00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:45.240
 love

00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:46.659
 verse 18

00:15:46.659 --> 00:15:47.220
 God who

00:15:47.220 --> 00:15:47.959
 reconciled us

00:15:47.959 --> 00:15:48.419
 to himself

00:15:48.419 --> 00:15:49.039
 through Christ

00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:49.419
 and again

00:15:49.419 --> 00:15:50.339
 in verse 19

00:15:50.340 --> 00:15:51.019
 God

00:15:51.019 --> 00:15:51.040
 God

00:15:51.040 --> 00:15:51.259
 was

00:15:51.259 --> 00:15:51.800
 reconciling

00:15:51.800 --> 00:15:52.340
 the world

00:15:52.340 --> 00:15:53.280
 to himself

00:15:53.280 --> 00:15:54.240
 in Christ

00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:55.980
 to reconcile

00:15:55.980 --> 00:15:57.220
 is to render

00:15:57.220 --> 00:15:58.000
 two parties

00:15:58.000 --> 00:15:59.139
 to be no

00:15:59.139 --> 00:16:00.060
 longer opposed

00:16:00.060 --> 00:16:00.420
 to each

00:16:00.420 --> 00:16:00.700
 other

00:16:00.700 --> 00:16:01.420
 it is to

00:16:01.420 --> 00:16:02.080
 win over

00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:03.019
 from hostility

00:16:03.019 --> 00:16:03.800
 to friendliness

00:16:03.800 --> 00:16:04.639
 and these

00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:05.500
 verses say

00:16:05.500 --> 00:16:06.240
 that it is

00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:07.139
 God who

00:16:07.139 --> 00:16:07.740
 took the

00:16:07.740 --> 00:16:08.159
 initiative

00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:09.379
 to reconcile

00:16:09.379 --> 00:16:10.000
 us to

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:10.440
 himself

00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:11.840
 see it there

00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:12.500
 in verse 18

00:16:12.500 --> 00:16:13.259
 all this is

00:16:13.259 --> 00:16:13.899
 from God

00:16:13.899 --> 00:16:14.960
 verse 19

00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:15.700
 God was

00:16:15.700 --> 00:16:16.360
 reconciling the

00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:16.639
 world to

00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:17.019
 himself

00:16:17.019 --> 00:16:18.080
 verse 21

00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:19.279
 God made

00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:19.960
 him who had

00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:20.539
 no sin

00:16:20.539 --> 00:16:21.019
 to be sin

00:16:21.019 --> 00:16:21.480
 for us

00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:22.399
 the initiative

00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:23.480
 the momentum

00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:24.139
 and the purpose

00:16:24.139 --> 00:16:24.860
 of reconciliation

00:16:24.860 --> 00:16:26.039
 all come

00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:26.620
 from God

00:16:26.620 --> 00:16:28.200
 and God

00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:29.000
 does something

00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:29.960
 about sin

00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:31.759
 that has

00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:32.740
 caused this

00:16:32.740 --> 00:16:33.300
 enmity

00:16:33.300 --> 00:16:34.019
 between us

00:16:34.019 --> 00:16:34.420
 and him

00:16:34.420 --> 00:16:35.519
 verse 19

00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:36.379
 is the

00:16:36.379 --> 00:16:37.480
 preliminary

00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:38.620
 explanation

00:16:38.620 --> 00:16:39.779
 of how the

00:16:39.779 --> 00:16:40.300
 reconciliation

00:16:40.300 --> 00:16:40.960
 is brought

00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:41.259
 about

00:16:41.259 --> 00:16:41.620
 it says

00:16:41.620 --> 00:16:42.139
 God

00:16:42.139 --> 00:16:42.860
 was

00:16:42.860 --> 00:16:43.700
 reconciled

00:16:43.700 --> 00:16:44.080
 the world

00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:44.659
 to himself

00:16:44.659 --> 00:16:45.560
 in Christ

00:16:45.560 --> 00:16:47.000
 not counting

00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:48.019
 men's sins

00:16:48.019 --> 00:16:49.060
 against them

00:16:49.060 --> 00:16:50.920
 and verse 21

00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:51.839
 describes

00:16:51.839 --> 00:16:53.039
 how it is

00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:53.759
 possible

00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:55.439
 that God

00:16:55.439 --> 00:16:56.399
 doesn't count

00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:56.959
 sins

00:16:56.959 --> 00:16:58.379
 against us

00:16:58.379 --> 00:16:59.659
 God made

00:16:59.659 --> 00:17:00.199
 him

00:17:00.199 --> 00:17:01.099
 who had

00:17:01.099 --> 00:17:02.079
 no sin

00:17:02.079 --> 00:17:02.959
 to be

00:17:02.959 --> 00:17:03.439
 sin

00:17:03.439 --> 00:17:04.700
 for us

00:17:04.700 --> 00:17:05.700
 so that

00:17:05.700 --> 00:17:06.480
 in him

00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:07.420
 we might

00:17:07.420 --> 00:17:08.119
 become the

00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:08.559
 righteousness

00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:09.359
 of God

00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:10.500
 the end of

00:17:10.500 --> 00:17:11.159
 verse 19

00:17:11.159 --> 00:17:12.119
 says that God

00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:13.480
 doesn't want

00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:13.960
 to count

00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:14.539
 our sins

00:17:14.539 --> 00:17:15.159
 against us

00:17:15.159 --> 00:17:15.579
 and frankly

00:17:15.579 --> 00:17:16.119
 we don't want

00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:16.599
 God to count

00:17:16.599 --> 00:17:16.899
 our sins

00:17:16.899 --> 00:17:17.359
 against us

00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:17.920
 but the

00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:18.619
 picture here

00:17:18.619 --> 00:17:20.659
 is of

00:17:20.659 --> 00:17:21.379
 an account

00:17:21.379 --> 00:17:21.799
 book

00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:23.859
 the account

00:17:23.859 --> 00:17:24.239
 book

00:17:24.239 --> 00:17:25.579
 has written

00:17:25.579 --> 00:17:25.939
 in it

00:17:25.939 --> 00:17:26.439
 all that

00:17:26.439 --> 00:17:26.979
 we've said

00:17:26.979 --> 00:17:27.379
 all that

00:17:27.379 --> 00:17:27.939
 we've done

00:17:27.939 --> 00:17:28.319
 all that

00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:28.879
 we've thought

00:17:28.879 --> 00:17:29.259
 all that

00:17:29.259 --> 00:17:30.539
 we've treasured

00:17:30.539 --> 00:17:32.679
 verse 21

00:17:32.679 --> 00:17:33.379
 says

00:17:33.379 --> 00:17:34.239
 that my

00:17:34.239 --> 00:17:34.799
 sin

00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:36.219
 is not

00:17:36.219 --> 00:17:36.619
 put to

00:17:36.619 --> 00:17:37.500
 my account

00:17:37.500 --> 00:17:38.739
 my debt

00:17:38.739 --> 00:17:39.379
 is not

00:17:39.379 --> 00:17:39.659
 put to

00:17:39.659 --> 00:17:40.500
 my account

00:17:40.500 --> 00:17:41.339
 but it's

00:17:41.339 --> 00:17:41.819
 put to

00:17:41.819 --> 00:17:42.799
 Jesus'

00:17:43.019 --> 00:17:43.339
 account

00:17:43.339 --> 00:17:44.159
 instead

00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:46.420
 my account

00:17:46.420 --> 00:17:47.259
 of sin

00:17:47.259 --> 00:17:48.680
 has been

00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:49.100
 put

00:17:49.100 --> 00:17:50.180
 by God

00:17:50.180 --> 00:17:50.840
 to the

00:17:50.840 --> 00:17:51.300
 account

00:17:51.300 --> 00:17:51.880
 of the

00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:52.300
 sinless

00:17:52.300 --> 00:17:52.720
 son

00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:53.940
 and Jesus

00:17:53.940 --> 00:17:54.440
 has taken

00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:55.320
 my place

00:17:55.320 --> 00:17:56.120
 and borne

00:17:56.120 --> 00:17:56.840
 my sins

00:17:56.840 --> 00:17:57.300
 in his

00:17:57.300 --> 00:17:57.580
 body

00:17:57.580 --> 00:17:58.040
 on the

00:17:58.040 --> 00:17:58.460
 cross

00:17:58.460 --> 00:18:01.180
 it means

00:18:01.180 --> 00:18:01.519
 that he's

00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:02.100
 been judged

00:18:02.100 --> 00:18:02.660
 in my

00:18:02.660 --> 00:18:03.180
 place

00:18:03.180 --> 00:18:05.060
 he was

00:18:05.060 --> 00:18:05.500
 made

00:18:05.500 --> 00:18:06.200
 sin

00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:07.640
 he became

00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:08.240
 my

00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:08.800
 substitute

00:18:08.800 --> 00:18:10.900
 not only

00:18:10.900 --> 00:18:11.400
 is my

00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:11.960
 sin put

00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:12.220
 to his

00:18:12.220 --> 00:18:12.620
 account

00:18:12.619 --> 00:18:14.799
 but his

00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:15.399
 perfect

00:18:15.399 --> 00:18:16.339
 unblemished

00:18:16.339 --> 00:18:17.419
 righteousness

00:18:17.419 --> 00:18:19.519
 is

00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:20.839
 put to

00:18:20.839 --> 00:18:21.019
 my

00:18:21.019 --> 00:18:21.359
 account

00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:25.699
 I

00:18:25.699 --> 00:18:25.959
 cannot

00:18:25.959 --> 00:18:26.239
 be

00:18:26.239 --> 00:18:26.679
 condemned

00:18:26.679 --> 00:18:29.299
 because

00:18:29.299 --> 00:18:29.639
 my

00:18:29.639 --> 00:18:30.179
 record

00:18:30.179 --> 00:18:30.699
 reads

00:18:30.699 --> 00:18:31.519
 perfect

00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:34.000
 it's

00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:34.179
 the

00:18:34.179 --> 00:18:35.159
 ultimate

00:18:35.159 --> 00:18:35.959
 exchange

00:18:35.959 --> 00:18:37.759
 in a

00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:38.399
 trivial

00:18:38.399 --> 00:18:38.939
 kind of

00:18:38.939 --> 00:18:39.279
 way

00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:40.139
 it's

00:18:40.139 --> 00:18:40.599
 kind of

00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:40.859
 like

00:18:40.859 --> 00:18:41.059
 the

00:18:41.059 --> 00:18:41.539
 day

00:18:41.539 --> 00:18:45.440
 nearly

00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:45.879
 18

00:18:45.879 --> 00:18:46.159
 years

00:18:46.159 --> 00:18:46.539
 ago

00:18:46.539 --> 00:18:47.539
 quick

00:18:47.539 --> 00:18:48.059
 calculation

00:18:48.059 --> 00:18:49.159
 that

00:18:49.159 --> 00:18:49.759
 I

00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:50.039
 married

00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:50.299
 Nat

00:18:50.299 --> 00:18:52.139
 and

00:18:52.139 --> 00:18:52.759
 on that

00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:53.139
 day

00:18:53.139 --> 00:18:53.740
 I

00:18:53.740 --> 00:18:54.079
 said

00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:54.339
 to

00:18:54.339 --> 00:18:54.639
 Nat

00:18:54.639 --> 00:18:55.159
 with

00:18:55.159 --> 00:18:55.339
 all

00:18:55.339 --> 00:18:55.500
 that

00:18:55.500 --> 00:18:55.659
 I

00:18:55.659 --> 00:18:56.019
 am

00:18:56.019 --> 00:18:56.859
 and

00:18:56.859 --> 00:18:57.059
 all

00:18:57.059 --> 00:18:57.200
 that

00:18:57.200 --> 00:18:57.359
 I

00:18:57.359 --> 00:18:57.779
 have

00:18:57.779 --> 00:18:58.940
 I

00:18:58.940 --> 00:18:59.779
 give

00:18:59.779 --> 00:18:59.980
 you

00:18:59.980 --> 00:19:00.220
 and

00:19:00.220 --> 00:19:00.559
 honor

00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:00.759
 you

00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:00.960
 and

00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:01.639
 other

00:19:01.639 --> 00:19:01.859
 stuff

00:19:01.859 --> 00:19:02.039
 like

00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:02.259
 that

00:19:02.259 --> 00:19:04.420
 basically

00:19:04.420 --> 00:19:05.259
 you know

00:19:05.259 --> 00:19:06.079
 it's a bit

00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:06.440
 vague

00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:06.920
 after all

00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:07.079
 these

00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:07.359
 years

00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:09.359
 now

00:19:09.359 --> 00:19:10.719
 which was

00:19:10.719 --> 00:19:11.240
 a massive

00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:11.759
 promise

00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:12.339
 everything

00:19:12.339 --> 00:19:12.719
 that I

00:19:12.719 --> 00:19:13.079
 have

00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:13.599
 all that

00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:13.779
 I

00:19:13.779 --> 00:19:14.139
 am

00:19:14.139 --> 00:19:14.379
 I

00:19:14.379 --> 00:19:14.779
 give

00:19:14.779 --> 00:19:14.959
 to

00:19:14.959 --> 00:19:15.279
 you

00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:16.019
 and

00:19:16.019 --> 00:19:16.179
 now

00:19:16.179 --> 00:19:16.679
 after

00:19:16.679 --> 00:19:17.279
 five

00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:17.779
 years

00:19:17.779 --> 00:19:18.039
 of

00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:18.359
 doing

00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:19.419
 ministry

00:19:19.419 --> 00:19:19.919
 training

00:19:19.919 --> 00:19:20.319
 and being

00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:21.000
 a student

00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:22.240
 that

00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:22.539
 meant

00:19:22.539 --> 00:19:22.879
 that I

00:19:22.879 --> 00:19:23.179
 had a

00:19:23.179 --> 00:19:23.419
 hex

00:19:23.419 --> 00:19:23.719
 debt

00:19:23.719 --> 00:19:24.919
 I

00:19:24.919 --> 00:19:25.419
 had a

00:19:25.419 --> 00:19:26.099
 small

00:19:26.099 --> 00:19:26.479
 car

00:19:26.479 --> 00:19:26.859
 loan

00:19:26.859 --> 00:19:27.619
 and I

00:19:27.619 --> 00:19:27.879
 even

00:19:27.879 --> 00:19:28.259
 had to

00:19:28.259 --> 00:19:28.479
 borrow

00:19:28.479 --> 00:19:28.779
 two

00:19:28.779 --> 00:19:29.139
 thousand

00:19:29.139 --> 00:19:29.699
 dollars

00:19:29.699 --> 00:19:30.179
 from

00:19:30.179 --> 00:19:30.479
 my

00:19:30.479 --> 00:19:31.479
 father-in-law

00:19:31.479 --> 00:19:31.879
 in order

00:19:31.879 --> 00:19:32.279
 to marry

00:19:32.279 --> 00:19:32.519
 Nat

00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:33.339
 and so

00:19:33.339 --> 00:19:33.680
 when I

00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:34.099
 said

00:19:34.099 --> 00:19:34.639
 with

00:19:34.639 --> 00:19:34.839
 all

00:19:34.839 --> 00:19:34.980
 that

00:19:34.980 --> 00:19:35.139
 I

00:19:35.139 --> 00:19:35.759
 have

00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:36.460
 it's

00:19:36.460 --> 00:19:36.759
 like

00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:38.480
 there

00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:38.639
 we

00:19:38.639 --> 00:19:38.960
 go

00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:39.539
 it's

00:19:39.539 --> 00:19:39.680
 all

00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:39.900
 yours

00:19:39.900 --> 00:19:40.160
 Nat

00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:40.539
 she

00:19:40.539 --> 00:19:40.720
 didn't

00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:40.859
 have

00:19:40.859 --> 00:19:41.059
 any

00:19:41.059 --> 00:19:41.420
 debts

00:19:41.420 --> 00:19:41.879
 but

00:19:41.879 --> 00:19:42.079
 she

00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:42.379
 did

00:19:42.379 --> 00:19:42.559
 the

00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:42.819
 moment

00:19:42.819 --> 00:19:43.000
 that

00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:43.119
 she

00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:43.400
 married

00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:43.660
 me

00:19:43.660 --> 00:19:46.619
 that's

00:19:46.619 --> 00:19:47.000
 a trivial

00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:47.319
 kind

00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:47.440
 of

00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:47.680
 thing

00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:49.240
 it's

00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:49.579
 a trivial

00:19:49.579 --> 00:19:49.839
 kind

00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:49.940
 of

00:19:49.940 --> 00:19:50.539
 exchange

00:19:50.539 --> 00:19:51.519
 understanding

00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:53.299
 now

00:19:53.299 --> 00:19:53.579
 while

00:19:53.579 --> 00:19:53.920
 some

00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:54.139
 of us

00:19:54.139 --> 00:19:54.339
 think

00:19:54.339 --> 00:19:54.500
 that

00:19:54.500 --> 00:19:54.700
 it's

00:19:54.700 --> 00:19:55.420
 unjust

00:19:55.420 --> 00:19:55.740
 of

00:19:55.740 --> 00:19:56.240
 God

00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:56.879
 for

00:19:56.879 --> 00:19:57.339
 Jesus

00:19:57.339 --> 00:19:57.680
 to

00:19:57.680 --> 00:19:57.859
 die

00:19:57.859 --> 00:19:57.960
 in

00:19:57.960 --> 00:19:58.119
 our

00:19:58.119 --> 00:19:58.700
 place

00:19:58.700 --> 00:19:59.480
 this

00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:01.500
 substitutionary

00:20:01.500 --> 00:20:02.420
 sacrifice

00:20:02.420 --> 00:20:03.120
 is not

00:20:03.120 --> 00:20:03.580
 a foreign

00:20:03.580 --> 00:20:04.080
 concept

00:20:04.080 --> 00:20:04.940
 it is

00:20:04.940 --> 00:20:05.360
 in our

00:20:05.360 --> 00:20:05.779
 blood

00:20:05.779 --> 00:20:07.360
 literally

00:20:07.360 --> 00:20:08.160
 in our

00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:08.500
 blood

00:20:08.500 --> 00:20:09.240
 you see

00:20:09.240 --> 00:20:09.580
 when you

00:20:09.580 --> 00:20:09.860
 have an

00:20:09.860 --> 00:20:10.400
 infection

00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:12.039
 you have

00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:12.440
 white

00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:12.880
 blood

00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:13.320
 cells

00:20:13.320 --> 00:20:14.060
 to attack

00:20:14.060 --> 00:20:14.300
 the

00:20:14.300 --> 00:20:14.759
 infection

00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:15.759
 and if

00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:16.100
 you have

00:20:16.100 --> 00:20:16.740
 a wound

00:20:16.740 --> 00:20:17.380
 you will

00:20:17.380 --> 00:20:17.779
 notice

00:20:17.779 --> 00:20:18.180
 this

00:20:18.180 --> 00:20:19.800
 stuff

00:20:19.800 --> 00:20:20.259
 coming

00:20:20.259 --> 00:20:20.539
 out

00:20:20.539 --> 00:20:20.840
 it's

00:20:20.840 --> 00:20:21.240
 called

00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:22.080
 technical

00:20:22.080 --> 00:20:22.500
 term

00:20:22.500 --> 00:20:23.039
 pus

00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:24.039
 I mean

00:20:24.039 --> 00:20:24.180
 I'm

00:20:24.180 --> 00:20:24.360
 assuming

00:20:24.360 --> 00:20:24.580
 there's

00:20:24.580 --> 00:20:24.779
 a more

00:20:24.779 --> 00:20:25.080
 technical

00:20:25.080 --> 00:20:25.320
 term

00:20:25.320 --> 00:20:25.480
 than

00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:25.800
 pus

00:20:25.800 --> 00:20:26.279
 for it

00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:27.940
 the

00:20:27.940 --> 00:20:28.539
 pus

00:20:28.539 --> 00:20:28.779
 is

00:20:28.779 --> 00:20:29.080
 just

00:20:29.080 --> 00:20:29.300
 the

00:20:29.300 --> 00:20:29.680
 corpses

00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:29.940
 of

00:20:29.940 --> 00:20:30.259
 white

00:20:30.259 --> 00:20:31.820
 cells

00:20:31.819 --> 00:20:33.579
 which

00:20:33.579 --> 00:20:33.740
 have

00:20:33.740 --> 00:20:34.319
 died

00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:35.319
 so

00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:35.460
 that

00:20:35.460 --> 00:20:35.559
 you

00:20:35.559 --> 00:20:35.799
 might

00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:36.319
 live

00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:37.700
 it's

00:20:37.700 --> 00:20:37.779
 in

00:20:37.779 --> 00:20:37.899
 your

00:20:37.899 --> 00:20:38.179
 blood

00:20:38.179 --> 00:20:39.639
 you know

00:20:39.639 --> 00:20:40.019
 if a

00:20:40.019 --> 00:20:40.240
 mother

00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:40.779
 bird

00:20:40.779 --> 00:20:41.539
 jumps

00:20:41.539 --> 00:20:41.779
 in

 the

00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:42.200
 of

 snake

00:20:42.859 --> 00:20:43.399
 and

00:20:43.399 --> 00:20:43.879
 dies

00:20:43.879 --> 00:20:44.079
 to

00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:44.419
 protect

00:20:44.419 --> 00:20:44.740
 their

00:20:44.740 --> 00:20:45.259
 lives

00:20:45.259 --> 00:20:45.419
 of

00:20:45.419 --> 00:20:45.579
 their

00:20:45.579 --> 00:20:45.879
 young

00:20:45.879 --> 00:20:46.439
 birdies

00:20:46.439 --> 00:20:46.879
 and

00:20:46.879 --> 00:20:47.000
 you

00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:47.240
 see

00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:47.339
 it

00:20:47.339 --> 00:20:47.480
 on

00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:47.839
 YouTube

00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:48.099
 you

00:20:48.099 --> 00:20:48.279
 go

00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:48.460
 oh

00:20:48.460 --> 00:20:48.819
 that's

00:20:48.819 --> 00:20:49.639
 oh

00:20:49.639 --> 00:20:50.399
 I'm

00:20:50.399 --> 00:20:50.619
 moved

00:20:50.619 --> 00:20:50.859
 by

00:20:50.859 --> 00:20:51.139
 that

00:20:51.139 --> 00:20:53.099
 and

00:20:53.099 --> 00:20:53.319
 we

00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:53.779
 consider

00:20:53.779 --> 00:20:54.079
 in

00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:54.279
 our

00:20:54.279 --> 00:20:54.759
 culture

00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:56.119
 heroes

00:20:56.119 --> 00:20:57.599
 of

00:20:57.599 --> 00:20:57.859
 those

00:20:57.859 --> 00:20:58.459
 soldiers

00:20:58.459 --> 00:20:59.119
 and

00:20:59.119 --> 00:20:59.619
 others

00:20:59.619 --> 00:20:59.839
 who

00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:00.359
 given

00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:00.619
 their

00:21:00.619 --> 00:21:01.079
 lives

00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:01.279
 to

00:21:01.279 --> 00:21:01.579
 protect

00:21:01.579 --> 00:21:01.859
 their

00:21:01.859 --> 00:21:02.319
 mates

00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:03.139
 and

00:21:03.139 --> 00:21:03.319
 their

00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:03.659
 family

00:21:03.659 --> 00:21:03.799
 and

00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:03.939
 their

00:21:03.939 --> 00:21:04.459
 country

00:21:04.459 --> 00:21:05.139
 that

00:21:05.139 --> 00:21:05.500
 is

00:21:05.500 --> 00:21:06.979
 sacrifice

00:21:06.979 --> 00:21:08.619
 is

00:21:08.619 --> 00:21:09.279
 of the

00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:09.779
 highest

00:21:09.779 --> 00:21:10.539
 principle

00:21:10.539 --> 00:21:10.979
 of

00:21:10.979 --> 00:21:11.399
 virtue

00:21:11.399 --> 00:21:12.859
 in

00:21:12.859 --> 00:21:13.039
 our

00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:13.479
 culture

00:21:13.479 --> 00:21:14.519
 and

00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:14.719
 we

00:21:14.719 --> 00:21:15.339
 admire

00:21:15.339 --> 00:21:15.539
 it

00:21:15.539 --> 00:21:15.899
 no

00:21:15.899 --> 00:21:16.299
 end

00:21:16.299 --> 00:21:17.959
 and

00:21:17.959 --> 00:21:18.159
 so

00:21:18.159 --> 00:21:18.500
 this

00:21:18.500 --> 00:21:18.779
 must

00:21:18.779 --> 00:21:19.299
 surely

00:21:19.299 --> 00:21:19.579
 be

00:21:19.579 --> 00:21:20.019
 something

00:21:20.019 --> 00:21:20.279
 that

00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:20.919
 God

00:21:20.919 --> 00:21:21.839
 does

00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:22.219
 as

00:21:22.219 --> 00:21:22.759
 well

00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:24.659
 otherwise

00:21:24.660 --> 00:21:25.540
 the

00:21:25.540 --> 00:21:26.040
 creature

00:21:26.040 --> 00:21:26.920
 us

00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:27.759
 would

00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:27.880
 be

00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:28.100
 more

00:21:28.100 --> 00:21:28.420
 moral

00:21:28.420 --> 00:21:28.620
 than

00:21:28.620 --> 00:21:29.100
 God

00:21:29.100 --> 00:21:29.920
 and

00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:30.060
 I

00:21:30.060 --> 00:21:30.340
 can't

00:21:30.340 --> 00:21:30.640
 imagine

00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:30.840
 how

00:21:30.840 --> 00:21:30.980
 that

00:21:30.980 --> 00:21:31.140
 would

00:21:31.140 --> 00:21:31.460
 be

00:21:31.460 --> 00:21:33.420
 and

00:21:33.420 --> 00:21:33.640
 God

00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:33.920
 has

00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:34.160
 done

00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:34.500
 this

00:21:34.500 --> 00:21:34.880
 he

00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:35.220
 came

00:21:35.220 --> 00:21:35.420
 to

00:21:35.420 --> 00:21:35.779
 earth

00:21:35.779 --> 00:21:36.100
 in

00:21:36.100 --> 00:21:36.440
 Jesus

00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:36.860
 Christ

00:21:36.860 --> 00:21:37.300
 suffered

00:21:37.300 --> 00:21:37.540
 and

00:21:37.540 --> 00:21:37.860
 died

00:21:37.860 --> 00:21:38.320
 why

00:21:38.320 --> 00:21:39.860
 because

00:21:39.860 --> 00:21:40.240
 Jesus

00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:40.620
 takes

00:21:40.620 --> 00:21:40.820
 our

00:21:40.820 --> 00:21:41.200
 shame

00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:41.360
 and

00:21:41.360 --> 00:21:41.540
 our

00:21:41.540 --> 00:21:41.940
 guilt

00:21:41.940 --> 00:21:42.880
 he

00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:43.140
 does

00:21:43.140 --> 00:21:43.360
 not

00:21:43.360 --> 00:21:43.660
 merely

00:21:43.660 --> 00:21:44.100
 die

00:21:44.100 --> 00:21:44.320
 he

00:21:44.320 --> 00:21:44.580
 dies

00:21:44.580 --> 00:21:44.720
 on

00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:44.880
 a

00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:45.340
 cross

00:21:45.340 --> 00:21:45.880
 the

00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:46.140
 most

00:21:46.140 --> 00:21:46.500
 shameful

00:21:46.500 --> 00:21:46.779
 of

00:21:46.779 --> 00:21:47.220
 deaths

00:21:47.220 --> 00:21:47.740
 he

00:21:47.740 --> 00:21:47.900
 is

00:21:47.900 --> 00:21:48.279
 cast

00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:48.600
 out

00:21:48.600 --> 00:21:48.660
 of

00:21:48.660 --> 00:21:48.779
 the

00:21:48.779 --> 00:21:49.259
 community

00:21:49.259 --> 00:21:49.840
 crucified

00:21:49.840 --> 00:21:50.540
 outside

00:21:50.540 --> 00:21:50.860
 of

00:21:50.860 --> 00:21:51.019
 the

00:21:51.019 --> 00:21:51.340
 city

00:21:51.340 --> 00:21:52.240
 absolutely

00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:53.240
 humiliated

00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:53.759
 though

00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:54.040
 he

00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:54.879
 obeyed

00:21:54.879 --> 00:21:55.139
 and

00:21:55.139 --> 00:21:55.619
 treasured

00:21:55.619 --> 00:21:55.819
 his

00:21:55.819 --> 00:21:56.359
 father

00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:56.879
 and

00:21:56.879 --> 00:21:57.079
 was

00:21:57.079 --> 00:21:57.480
 faithful

00:21:57.480 --> 00:21:57.700
 to

00:21:57.700 --> 00:21:57.899
 his

00:21:57.899 --> 00:21:58.399
 friends

00:21:58.399 --> 00:21:58.839
 and

00:21:58.839 --> 00:21:59.279
 deserved

00:21:59.279 --> 00:21:59.720
 all

00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:00.059
 honour

00:22:00.059 --> 00:22:00.480
 he

00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:00.740
 got

00:22:00.740 --> 00:22:01.220
 shame

00:22:01.220 --> 00:22:01.500
 and

00:22:01.500 --> 00:22:02.059
 rejection

00:22:02.059 --> 00:22:02.920
 why

00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:04.059
 he

00:22:04.059 --> 00:22:04.279
 took

00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:04.460
 the

00:22:04.460 --> 00:22:04.779
 shame

00:22:04.779 --> 00:22:05.019
 and

00:22:05.019 --> 00:22:05.559
 rejection

00:22:05.559 --> 00:22:05.940
 we

00:22:05.940 --> 00:22:06.339
 deserve

00:22:06.339 --> 00:22:06.539
 for

00:22:06.539 --> 00:22:06.859
 our

00:22:06.859 --> 00:22:07.339
 failings

00:22:07.339 --> 00:22:07.519
 to

00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:07.899
 love

00:22:07.899 --> 00:22:08.420
 God

00:22:08.420 --> 00:22:08.839
 to

00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:09.279
 treasure

00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:09.639
 him

00:22:09.639 --> 00:22:10.379
 ultimately

00:22:10.379 --> 00:22:11.720
 so

00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:11.920
 that

00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:12.099
 we

00:22:12.099 --> 00:22:12.259
 could

00:22:12.259 --> 00:22:12.460
 be

00:22:12.460 --> 00:22:12.879
 forgiven

00:22:12.879 --> 00:22:13.579
 and

00:22:13.579 --> 00:22:13.819
 set

00:22:13.819 --> 00:22:14.279
 free

00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:14.639
 in

00:22:14.639 --> 00:22:15.019
 order

00:22:15.019 --> 00:22:15.639
 to

00:22:15.639 --> 00:22:15.940
 treasure

00:22:15.940 --> 00:22:16.220
 him

00:22:16.220 --> 00:22:16.680
 ultimately

00:22:16.680 --> 00:22:20.720
 and

00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:20.920
 it's

00:22:20.920 --> 00:22:21.259
 absolutely

00:22:21.259 --> 00:22:21.960
 essential

00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:23.380
 for our

00:22:23.380 --> 00:22:23.799
 confidence

00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:24.180
 in this

00:22:24.180 --> 00:22:24.620
 work of

00:22:24.620 --> 00:22:25.180
 reconciliation

00:22:25.180 --> 00:22:26.120
 that we

00:22:26.120 --> 00:22:26.560
 see the

00:22:26.560 --> 00:22:27.220
 centrality

00:22:27.220 --> 00:22:27.539
 of

00:22:27.539 --> 00:22:27.860
 Jesus

00:22:27.860 --> 00:22:28.320
 in it

00:22:28.320 --> 00:22:28.600
 all

00:22:28.600 --> 00:22:29.220
 verse

00:22:29.220 --> 00:22:29.660
 18

00:22:29.660 --> 00:22:30.060
 it was

00:22:30.060 --> 00:22:30.340
 through

00:22:30.340 --> 00:22:30.700
 Jesus

00:22:30.700 --> 00:22:31.019
 verse

00:22:31.019 --> 00:22:31.420
 19

00:22:31.420 --> 00:22:31.799
 it was

00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:32.140
 in

00:22:32.140 --> 00:22:32.539
 Jesus

00:22:32.539 --> 00:22:33.080
 the

00:22:33.080 --> 00:22:33.600
 reconciliation

00:22:33.600 --> 00:22:34.360
 of the

00:22:34.360 --> 00:22:34.880
 world

00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:35.900
 to

00:22:35.900 --> 00:22:36.400
 God

00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:36.940
 happens

00:22:36.940 --> 00:22:37.299
 through

00:22:37.299 --> 00:22:37.560
 the

00:22:37.560 --> 00:22:37.880
 death

00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:38.120
 and

00:22:38.120 --> 00:22:38.600
 resurrection

00:22:38.600 --> 00:22:39.019
 of

00:22:39.019 --> 00:22:39.380
 Jesus

00:22:39.380 --> 00:22:40.600
 it is

00:22:40.600 --> 00:22:40.840
 something

00:22:40.840 --> 00:22:41.240
 that has

00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:41.480
 happened

00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:41.700
 in

00:22:41.700 --> 00:22:42.120
 history

00:22:42.120 --> 00:22:42.759
 it is

00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:43.039
 something

00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:43.519
 it is

00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:44.120
 finished

00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:45.459
 and the

00:22:45.459 --> 00:22:45.819
 word

00:22:45.819 --> 00:22:46.419
 world

00:22:46.419 --> 00:22:46.859
 in

00:22:46.859 --> 00:22:47.139
 verse

00:22:47.139 --> 00:22:47.839
 19

00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:48.279
 is

00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:49.079
 staggering

00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:50.159
 it says

00:22:50.159 --> 00:22:50.679
 that what

00:22:50.679 --> 00:22:51.139
 God

00:22:51.139 --> 00:22:51.559
 did

00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:52.000
 in the

00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:52.299
 death

00:22:52.299 --> 00:22:52.519
 of

00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:52.839
 Jesus

00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:53.339
 in

00:22:53.339 --> 00:22:53.839
 history

00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:54.779
 on a

00:22:54.779 --> 00:22:55.059
 hill

00:22:55.059 --> 00:22:55.639
 outside

00:22:55.639 --> 00:22:55.839
 of

00:22:55.839 --> 00:22:56.359
 Jerusalem

00:22:56.359 --> 00:22:56.699
 in

00:22:56.699 --> 00:22:57.059
 AD

00:22:57.059 --> 00:22:57.759
 33

00:22:57.759 --> 00:22:59.179
 concerns

00:22:59.179 --> 00:22:59.859
 the

00:22:59.859 --> 00:23:00.639
 reconciliation

00:23:00.639 --> 00:23:01.899
 of the

00:23:01.899 --> 00:23:02.599
 whole

00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:03.779
 world

00:23:03.779 --> 00:23:04.559
 to

00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:05.019
 its

00:23:05.019 --> 00:23:05.879
 maker

00:23:05.879 --> 00:23:08.839
 that's

00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:08.939
 the

00:23:08.939 --> 00:23:09.219
 Christian

00:23:09.219 --> 00:23:09.479
 world

00:23:09.479 --> 00:23:09.679
 view

00:23:09.679 --> 00:23:10.779
 and

00:23:10.779 --> 00:23:11.079
 that is

00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:11.259
 the

00:23:11.259 --> 00:23:11.679
 claim

00:23:11.679 --> 00:23:11.899
 of

00:23:11.899 --> 00:23:12.119
 verses

00:23:12.119 --> 00:23:12.579
 14

00:23:12.579 --> 00:23:12.779
 and

00:23:12.779 --> 00:23:13.199
 15

00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:14.080
 we are

00:23:14.080 --> 00:23:14.640
 convinced

00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:15.259
 that

00:23:15.259 --> 00:23:15.539
 one

00:23:15.539 --> 00:23:15.860
 died

00:23:15.860 --> 00:23:16.120
 for

00:23:16.120 --> 00:23:16.720
 all

00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:17.140
 and

00:23:17.140 --> 00:23:17.440
 therefore

00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:17.900
 all

00:23:17.900 --> 00:23:18.460
 died

00:23:18.460 --> 00:23:18.940
 and

00:23:18.940 --> 00:23:19.160
 he

00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:19.660
 died

00:23:19.660 --> 00:23:20.200
 for

00:23:20.200 --> 00:23:20.819
 all

00:23:20.819 --> 00:23:22.140
 and

00:23:22.140 --> 00:23:22.319
 so

00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:22.720
 Jesus

00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:23.420
 death

00:23:23.420 --> 00:23:25.440
 has

00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:26.340
 universal

00:23:26.340 --> 00:23:27.019
 significance

00:23:27.019 --> 00:23:28.240
 there is

00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:28.720
 no

00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:29.340
 reconciliation

00:23:29.340 --> 00:23:29.940
 with

00:23:29.940 --> 00:23:30.200
 God

00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:30.600
 outside

00:23:30.600 --> 00:23:30.880
 of

00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:31.160
 Jesus

00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:31.779
 you

00:23:31.779 --> 00:23:32.039
 don't

00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:32.240
 need

00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:32.680
 anything

00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:33.279
 more

00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:33.500
 than

00:23:33.500 --> 00:23:33.880
 Jesus

00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:34.519
 but

00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:34.720
 you

00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:35.039
 cannot

00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:35.319
 have

00:23:35.319 --> 00:23:35.660
 anything

00:23:35.660 --> 00:23:36.340
 less

00:23:36.340 --> 00:23:36.960
 than

00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:37.380
 Jesus

00:23:37.380 --> 00:23:39.059
 and

00:23:39.059 --> 00:23:39.220
 if

00:23:39.220 --> 00:23:39.360
 you

00:23:39.360 --> 00:23:39.500
 are

00:23:39.500 --> 00:23:39.700
 sitting

00:23:39.700 --> 00:23:39.940
 here

00:23:39.940 --> 00:23:40.240
 right

00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:40.559
 now

00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:40.940
 someone

00:23:40.940 --> 00:23:41.180
 who

00:23:41.180 --> 00:23:41.340
 is

00:23:41.340 --> 00:23:41.700
 not

00:23:41.700 --> 00:23:42.180
 trusting

00:23:42.180 --> 00:23:42.380
 in

00:23:42.380 --> 00:23:42.500
 the

00:23:42.500 --> 00:23:42.680
 Lord

00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:43.100
 Jesus

00:23:43.099 --> 00:23:43.859
 then

00:23:43.859 --> 00:23:44.039
 I

00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:44.199
 want

00:23:44.199 --> 00:23:44.299
 to

00:23:44.299 --> 00:23:44.639
 suggest

00:23:44.819 --> 00:23:44.959
 you

00:23:44.959 --> 00:23:45.139

00:23:45.139 --> 00:23:45.439
 stakes

00:23:45.439 --> 00:23:45.679
 could

00:23:45.679 --> 00:23:45.859
 not

00:23:45.859 --> 00:23:46.039
 be

00:23:46.039 --> 00:23:46.379
 any

00:23:46.379 --> 00:23:46.639
 higher

00:23:46.639 --> 00:23:46.799
 for

00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:46.939
 you

00:23:46.939 --> 00:23:47.219
 right

00:23:47.219 --> 00:23:47.559
 now

00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:52.240
 chapter

00:23:52.619 --> 00:23:52.859
 verse

00:23:52.859 --> 00:23:53.119
 2

00:23:53.119 --> 00:23:53.459
 says

00:23:53.459 --> 00:23:54.019
 now

00:23:54.019 --> 00:23:54.379
 is

00:23:54.379 --> 00:23:54.539
 the

00:23:54.539 --> 00:23:55.000
 time

00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:55.219
 of

00:23:55.219 --> 00:23:55.759
 God's

00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:56.159
 favour

00:23:56.159 --> 00:23:57.159
 now

00:23:57.159 --> 00:23:57.480
 is

00:23:57.480 --> 00:23:57.659
 the

00:23:57.659 --> 00:23:58.059
 day

00:23:58.059 --> 00:23:58.279
 of

00:23:58.279 --> 00:23:58.859
 salvation

00:23:58.859 --> 00:23:59.219
 and

00:23:59.219 --> 00:23:59.439
 so

00:23:59.439 --> 00:23:59.799
 I

00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:00.059
 would

00:24:00.059 --> 00:24:00.839
 implore

00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:01.240
 you

00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:02.819
 on

00:24:02.819 --> 00:24:03.539
 Christ's

00:24:03.539 --> 00:24:04.219
 behalf

00:24:04.219 --> 00:24:04.879
 be

00:24:04.879 --> 00:24:05.719

00:24:05.719 --> 00:24:05.859
 to

00:24:05.859 --> 00:24:06.139
 God

00:24:06.139 --> 00:24:06.599
 today

00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:08.019
 through

00:24:08.019 --> 00:24:08.500

00:24:13.839 --> 00:24:14.440

 the

00:24:18.140 --> 00:24:18.839
 ministry

00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:19.220

 God

00:24:25.900 --> 00:24:26.160
 is

00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:26.539

 you

00:24:28.579 --> 00:24:28.759
 are

 he

00:26:50.519 --> 00:26:50.980
 is

00:26:50.980 --> 00:26:51.720
 the

00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:52.079
 treasure

00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:52.299
 that

00:26:52.299 --> 00:26:52.460
 we

00:26:52.460 --> 00:26:52.819
 declare

00:26:52.819 --> 00:26:53.059
 him

00:26:53.059 --> 00:26:53.200
 to

00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:53.440
 be

00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:57.220
 as

00:26:57.220 --> 00:26:57.420
 our

00:26:57.420 --> 00:26:58.019
 society

00:26:58.019 --> 00:26:59.559
 is

00:26:59.559 --> 00:26:59.879
 moving

00:26:59.879 --> 00:27:00.240
 deeper

00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:00.500
 and

00:27:00.500 --> 00:27:00.740
 deeper

00:27:00.740 --> 00:27:01.019
 into

00:27:01.019 --> 00:27:01.259
 a

00:27:01.259 --> 00:27:01.680
 post

00:27:01.680 --> 00:27:02.240
 Christian

00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:02.839
 culture

00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:03.779
 that

00:27:03.779 --> 00:27:04.160
 wants

00:27:04.160 --> 00:27:04.579
 to

00:27:04.579 --> 00:27:06.099
 jettison

00:27:06.099 --> 00:27:06.620
 all

00:27:06.620 --> 00:27:07.359
 vestiges

00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:08.120
 of

00:27:08.120 --> 00:27:08.339
 its

00:27:08.339 --> 00:27:08.740
 Christian

00:27:08.740 --> 00:27:09.259
 heritage

00:27:09.259 --> 00:27:10.380
 I

00:27:10.380 --> 00:27:10.700
 think

00:27:10.700 --> 00:27:10.940
 there's

00:27:10.940 --> 00:27:11.120
 a

00:27:11.120 --> 00:27:11.480
 temptation

00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:12.079
 for

00:27:12.079 --> 00:27:12.299
 us

00:27:12.299 --> 00:27:12.480
 to

00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:12.700
 be

00:27:12.700 --> 00:27:13.140
 feeling

00:27:13.140 --> 00:27:13.299
 a

00:27:13.299 --> 00:27:13.460
 little

00:27:13.460 --> 00:27:14.359
 overwhelmed

00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:15.279
 as

00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:16.079
 ambassadors

00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:18.039
 and

00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:18.279
 wanting

00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:18.539
 to

00:27:18.539 --> 00:27:18.839
 get

00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:19.079
 that

00:27:19.079 --> 00:27:19.500
 uniform

00:27:19.500 --> 00:27:20.200
 off

00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:22.759
 it's

00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:23.000
 a whole

00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:23.140
 lot

00:27:23.140 --> 00:27:23.339
 more

00:27:23.339 --> 00:27:23.759
 comfortable

00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:24.120
 being

00:27:24.120 --> 00:27:25.079
 ambassador

00:27:25.079 --> 00:27:25.480
 for

00:27:25.480 --> 00:27:25.960
 Australia

00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:26.339
 in

00:27:26.339 --> 00:27:27.799
 New

00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:28.220
 Zealand

00:27:28.220 --> 00:27:29.120
 than

00:27:29.120 --> 00:27:29.220
 it

00:27:29.220 --> 00:27:29.359
 would

00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:29.559
 be

00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:29.839
 in

00:27:29.839 --> 00:27:30.319
 Baghdad

00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:30.599
 right

00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:30.939
 now

00:27:30.939 --> 00:27:33.079
 slightly

00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:33.419
 different

00:27:33.419 --> 00:27:33.939
 perspective

00:27:33.939 --> 00:27:38.759
 there's

00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:39.059
 a couple

00:27:39.059 --> 00:27:39.200
 of

00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:39.700
 questions

00:27:39.700 --> 00:27:41.339
 that we

00:27:41.339 --> 00:27:41.619
 want to

00:27:41.619 --> 00:27:41.759
 be

00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:42.019
 thinking

00:27:42.019 --> 00:27:42.279
 about

00:27:42.279 --> 00:27:42.539
 as we

00:27:42.539 --> 00:27:42.720
 move

00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:43.159
 forward

00:27:43.159 --> 00:27:44.579
 one

00:27:44.579 --> 00:27:44.779
 is

00:27:44.779 --> 00:27:45.079
 because

00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:45.339
 the

00:27:45.339 --> 00:27:45.639
 culture

00:27:45.639 --> 00:27:46.039
 shifted

00:27:46.039 --> 00:27:46.439
 so

00:27:46.439 --> 00:27:47.000
 much

00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:48.220
 that

00:27:48.220 --> 00:27:48.500
 we

00:27:48.500 --> 00:27:49.119
 exist

00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:49.500
 in

00:27:49.500 --> 00:27:50.339
 the

00:27:50.339 --> 00:27:50.559
 way

00:27:50.559 --> 00:27:50.740
 we

00:27:50.740 --> 00:27:50.939
 go

00:27:50.939 --> 00:27:51.279
 about

00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:51.559
 our

00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:52.039
 ambassador

00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:52.619
 job

00:27:52.619 --> 00:27:53.099
 is

00:27:53.099 --> 00:27:53.240
 going

00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:53.299
 to

00:27:53.299 --> 00:27:53.439
 be

00:27:53.439 --> 00:27:53.740
 very

00:27:53.740 --> 00:27:54.200
 different

00:27:54.200 --> 00:27:54.839
 than

00:27:54.839 --> 00:27:54.980
 the

00:27:54.980 --> 00:27:55.179
 way

00:27:55.179 --> 00:27:55.500
 things

00:27:55.500 --> 00:27:55.639
 were

00:27:55.639 --> 00:27:55.839
 done

00:27:55.839 --> 00:27:56.159
 30

00:27:56.159 --> 00:27:56.439
 years

00:27:56.439 --> 00:27:56.740
 ago

00:27:56.740 --> 00:27:57.960
 number

00:27:57.960 --> 00:27:58.179
 one

00:27:58.179 --> 00:27:58.379
 you've

00:27:58.379 --> 00:27:58.480
 got

00:27:58.480 --> 00:27:58.579
 to

00:27:58.579 --> 00:27:58.960
 understand

00:27:58.960 --> 00:27:59.339
 that

00:27:59.339 --> 00:28:01.379
 I

00:28:01.379 --> 00:28:01.519
 can

 nearly

00:28:01.720 --> 00:28:02.159
 guarantee

 any

00:28:03.199 --> 00:28:03.459
 that

00:28:03.459 --> 00:28:03.980
 worked

 20

00:28:06.379 --> 00:28:06.899
 guaranteed

00:28:06.899 --> 00:28:07.339
 not

00:28:07.339 --> 00:28:07.539
 to

00:28:07.539 --> 00:28:07.759
 work

00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:08.099
 now

00:28:08.099 --> 00:28:09.659
 it

00:28:09.659 --> 00:28:10.099
 shifted

00:28:10.099 --> 00:28:10.399
 that

00:28:10.399 --> 00:28:10.779
 quickly

00:28:10.779 --> 00:28:11.639
 and

00:28:11.639 --> 00:28:11.839
 this

00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:12.039
 is

 for

 me

00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:14.720
 has

00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:14.899
 been

00:28:37.139 --> 00:28:37.759
 gone

00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:38.259
 and I

00:28:38.259 --> 00:28:38.659
 had to

 it's

00:28:39.959 --> 00:28:40.379
 a scary

 thing

00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:41.039
 it's

 kind

00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:24.740
 that was

00:33:24.740 --> 00:33:25.220
 the source

00:33:25.220 --> 00:33:25.519
 of this

00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:25.799
 kind

00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:25.960
 of

 were

00:33:31.100 --> 00:33:32.120
 impressed

00:33:32.120 --> 00:33:33.980
 by the

00:33:34.660 --> 00:33:35.160
 died

00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:36.460
 for their

00:33:36.460 --> 00:33:36.799
 faith

00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:38.900

00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:41.960
 so I'm

00:33:41.960 --> 00:33:42.420
