00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.360
 a former American footballer who played football for the Miami Dolphins,

00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:07.919
 was asked by Newsweek, he was being interviewed by Newsweek,

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:11.620
 and he was asked what motivated him as a footballer to go to university.

00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:14.620
 Apparently it's a disconnect there in the United States between those two things.

00:00:15.040 --> 00:00:16.399
 And his reply was,

00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:21.400
 my father and my uncle were human cannonballs in carnivals.

00:00:21.900 --> 00:00:24.199
 And one day my father took me aside and said to me,

00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:27.179
 son, go to university or become a human cannonball.

00:00:28.339 --> 00:00:29.800
 And he said, I'm working that out.

00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:35.079
 That decision out which way to go when my uncle came out of a cannon one day,

00:00:35.259 --> 00:00:39.439
 he missed the net and hit the Ferris wheel, was killed,

00:00:40.020 --> 00:00:42.320
 and I decided in that moment to go to university.

00:00:42.980 --> 00:00:45.000
 Seems like a fairly good decision in my mind.

00:00:45.579 --> 00:00:48.159
 Self-reservation sometimes is a great motive.

00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:54.219
 But motive, on the best of times, is often quite a difficult thing to work out.

00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:56.519
 And especially as Christians.

00:00:56.980 --> 00:00:58.760
 For instance, what's your motive of being here tonight?

00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:00.079
 Why come to church?

00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:03.899
 What motive do you have to pursue spiritual disciplines?

00:01:04.539 --> 00:01:06.019
 What motivates you to give?

00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:07.179
 What motivates you to serve?

00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:08.579
 What motivates you to show mercy?

00:01:09.219 --> 00:01:12.719
 What motivates us to do, as this series is all about,

00:01:12.819 --> 00:01:14.679
 to love thy neighbour, to love your neighbour?

00:01:15.859 --> 00:01:22.039
 You see, when secular people claim that moral behaviour is possible without God,

00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:25.040
 when secular people say it's possible for us to love our neighbour,

00:01:25.100 --> 00:01:26.260
 they are absolutely right.

00:01:27.820 --> 00:01:29.219
 From a Christian point of view,

00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:32.480
 someone who does not believe in God

00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:35.540
 is capable of loving their neighbour

00:01:35.540 --> 00:01:37.760
 and doing things that God's laws requires.

00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:45.260
 So what is it about the Christian faith that drives us to care for those in need,

00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:47.719
 for us to love our neighbour?

00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:52.520
 Is it just simply a sense of duty or a load of guilt?

00:01:53.080 --> 00:01:58.560
 What is the real dynamic that's behind the Christian pursuit of loving your neighbour?

00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:03.120
 Two weeks ago, first message of this series,

00:02:03.260 --> 00:02:05.359
 Sam took us to the parable of the Good Samaritan.

00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:08.240
 John read out a little bit of it to us just a moment ago,

00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:10.199
 from Luke chapter 10.

00:02:11.379 --> 00:02:15.860
 And there we were confronted by this legalistic law expert

00:02:15.860 --> 00:02:19.620
 who wants to narrow down the definition

00:02:19.620 --> 00:02:23.060
 of what it means to love your neighbour.

00:02:23.140 --> 00:02:25.520
 He wants to narrow down, in fact, who my neighbour is,

00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:29.560
 and therefore the smaller definition of who it is that I'm required to love.

00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:34.560
 And he wants to do that in order that he can justify himself,

00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:36.960
 declare himself righteous.

00:02:37.219 --> 00:02:38.500
 He's a self-justifier.

00:02:39.480 --> 00:02:42.900
 He believed his own moral efforts could earn favour with God.

00:02:43.700 --> 00:02:46.780
 And so Jesus told the parable of the Good Samaritan

00:02:46.780 --> 00:02:50.520
 to help him see his insufficiency.

00:02:50.520 --> 00:03:00.219
 Jesus put before him a picture of the love that the law of God requires.

00:03:02.580 --> 00:03:04.879
 And it's an incredible picture.

00:03:06.540 --> 00:03:09.200
 You see, you could as well imagine a Taliban fighter

00:03:09.200 --> 00:03:15.640
 putting his life on the line for a US Marine

00:03:15.640 --> 00:03:17.800
 gunned down on the side of a road.

00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:20.700
 Or a Palestinian freedom fighter

00:03:20.700 --> 00:03:25.939
 putting his life on the line to assist an Israeli commando.

00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:29.420
 Or a member of ISIS putting his life on the line

00:03:29.420 --> 00:03:32.100
 to come to the aid of a Christian in desperate need,

00:03:32.420 --> 00:03:35.840
 as you could imagine a Samaritan helping a Jew.

00:03:37.939 --> 00:03:40.620
 But this is what the law of God requires.

00:03:41.700 --> 00:03:42.740
 Luke 10, 27.

00:03:42.740 --> 00:03:46.500
 Love the Lord your God with all your heart,

00:03:46.760 --> 00:03:48.840
 with all your soul,

00:03:49.260 --> 00:03:51.040
 with all your strength,

00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:53.060
 with all your mind,

00:03:53.140 --> 00:03:55.280
 and love your neighbour as yourself

00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:57.140
 all the time.

00:03:58.900 --> 00:04:01.000
 No failings, no gaps,

00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:03.240
 no minimising,

00:04:03.700 --> 00:04:05.080
 all the time.

00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:09.460
 You see, what Jesus' goal was here

00:04:09.460 --> 00:04:12.240
 is to show this law expert

00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:15.760
 who believed that he was spiritually rich,

00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:18.580
 that he was, in fact, spiritually bankrupt.

00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:20.160
 That was Jesus' goal.

00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:23.020
 That he wanted to help him see

00:04:23.020 --> 00:04:24.759
 that he didn't actually have the resources

00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:25.960
 to make good on his debt.

00:04:26.500 --> 00:04:28.000
 He was in a desperate state,

00:04:28.139 --> 00:04:29.420
 and yet Jesus says

00:04:29.420 --> 00:04:32.040
 that the person who comes to that state

00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:33.220
 of understanding about themselves,

00:04:33.220 --> 00:04:34.780
 that desperate state of need.

00:04:35.380 --> 00:04:37.080
 Jesus says earlier in Matthew's Gospel

00:04:37.080 --> 00:04:38.700
 that they are blessed.

00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:41.220
 And so Jesus' true goal

00:04:41.820 --> 00:04:43.440
 was to show this law expert

00:04:43.440 --> 00:04:44.220
 that he was poor

00:04:44.760 --> 00:04:47.120
 to prepare him

00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:49.840
 to seek spiritual riches

00:04:49.840 --> 00:04:50.920
 in the mercy of God.

00:04:52.400 --> 00:04:53.500
 What is the mercy

00:04:53.500 --> 00:04:55.400
 that Jesus is preparing this law expert for?

00:04:56.320 --> 00:04:57.540
 This is in a nutshell.

00:04:58.160 --> 00:04:58.700
 In a nutshell.

00:04:58.699 --> 00:05:02.159
 That all of humanity,

00:05:03.060 --> 00:05:03.819
 us included,

00:05:03.939 --> 00:05:04.459
 me included,

00:05:05.159 --> 00:05:08.099
 is like that man beaten on the road.

00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:10.819
 We're lying in our blood,

00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:12.860
 waiting for death.

00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:14.719
 We are spiritually bankrupt.

00:05:14.980 --> 00:05:16.060
 We are spiritually lost.

00:05:16.159 --> 00:05:18.480
 We are not capable of helping ourselves.

00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:20.360
 We need a rescuer.

00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:22.419
 And yet in that position,

00:05:22.620 --> 00:05:24.399
 God has provided spiritual health

00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:25.060
 and wealth

00:05:25.060 --> 00:05:26.300
 and healing and life.

00:05:26.300 --> 00:05:27.819
 And he did that

00:05:27.819 --> 00:05:29.520
 by putting his son

00:05:29.520 --> 00:05:30.460
 on the side of the road.

00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:32.879
 He impoverished his son,

00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:33.720
 Jesus Christ,

00:05:33.780 --> 00:05:34.520
 on a cross

00:05:34.520 --> 00:05:36.840
 so that all of his riches,

00:05:37.259 --> 00:05:38.340
 all of his health,

00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:39.720
 all of his righteousness,

00:05:40.139 --> 00:05:41.360
 all of his wealth

00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:42.420
 and life

00:05:42.420 --> 00:05:43.439
 could be given,

00:05:43.960 --> 00:05:44.860
 transferred to those

00:05:44.860 --> 00:05:45.840
 who trust in him.

00:05:47.300 --> 00:05:48.699
 2 Corinthians 5, 21

00:05:48.699 --> 00:05:51.139
 reveals this

00:05:51.139 --> 00:05:52.360
 incredible,

00:05:52.740 --> 00:05:54.180
 merciful transaction.

00:05:54.180 --> 00:05:56.840
 so clearly

00:05:56.840 --> 00:05:57.300
 when it says,

00:05:57.400 --> 00:05:58.280
 God made him,

00:05:58.340 --> 00:05:59.019
 that's Jesus,

00:05:59.459 --> 00:06:00.860
 who had no sin

00:06:00.860 --> 00:06:03.319
 to be sin for us

00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:05.220
 who are sinful

00:06:05.220 --> 00:06:07.040
 so that in him,

00:06:07.139 --> 00:06:07.460
 Jesus,

00:06:07.740 --> 00:06:08.639
 we might become

00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:09.280
 the righteousness

00:06:09.280 --> 00:06:10.420
 of God.

00:06:10.899 --> 00:06:11.699
 We might have

00:06:11.699 --> 00:06:12.780
 a clear standing

00:06:12.780 --> 00:06:13.840
 of right standing

00:06:13.840 --> 00:06:14.540
 before God.

00:06:15.220 --> 00:06:16.319
 A couple of chapters

00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:17.360
 a little bit later

00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:18.199
 in Romans,

00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:20.180
 Paul puts that

00:06:20.180 --> 00:06:21.540
 in economic terms.

00:06:21.540 --> 00:06:22.760
 He says,

00:06:22.819 --> 00:06:23.220
 for you know

00:06:23.220 --> 00:06:24.020
 the grace of our Lord

00:06:24.020 --> 00:06:24.640
 Jesus Christ

00:06:24.640 --> 00:06:26.020
 that though he was rich,

00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:27.640
 yet for your sakes

00:06:27.640 --> 00:06:28.800
 he became poor

00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:30.040
 so that you

00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:31.040
 through his poverty

00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:33.280
 might become rich.

00:06:35.379 --> 00:06:36.540
 And so the foundational

00:06:36.540 --> 00:06:39.020
 core element

00:06:39.020 --> 00:06:41.000
 of the Christian faith

00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:42.840
 is that though poor,

00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:44.900
 we're being made rich

00:06:44.900 --> 00:06:46.540
 through the mercy of God.

00:06:46.540 --> 00:06:49.640
 we are

00:06:49.640 --> 00:06:52.160
 human race

00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:52.640
 living

00:06:52.640 --> 00:06:55.379
 in a rubbish tip,

00:06:56.500 --> 00:06:57.760
 scrounging around

00:06:57.760 --> 00:06:58.840
 for scraps

00:06:58.840 --> 00:06:59.480
 to try

00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:01.100
 to keep ourselves

00:07:01.100 --> 00:07:02.220
 alive.

00:07:03.900 --> 00:07:05.020
 And his grace,

00:07:05.259 --> 00:07:05.860
 in his grace,

00:07:06.020 --> 00:07:06.879
 God has

00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:07.800
 taken us

00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:08.840
 from the rubbish tip.

00:07:08.900 --> 00:07:10.120
 He has clothed us

00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:11.379
 in his kingly robes.

00:07:11.379 --> 00:07:13.140
 He has sat us down

00:07:13.140 --> 00:07:14.220
 at his royal

00:07:14.220 --> 00:07:15.439
 banqueting table

00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:17.019
 never ever

00:07:17.019 --> 00:07:18.040
 to get up again.

00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:22.459
 And there are

00:07:22.459 --> 00:07:23.459
 a multitude

00:07:23.459 --> 00:07:25.500
 of powerful effects

00:07:25.500 --> 00:07:27.579
 that the grace of God

00:07:27.579 --> 00:07:28.819
 has on the recipients

00:07:28.819 --> 00:07:29.680
 of his mercy.

00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:31.500
 And the one

00:07:31.500 --> 00:07:32.579
 that I want to focus on

00:07:32.579 --> 00:07:33.120
 today

00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:36.180
 is that those

00:07:36.180 --> 00:07:37.379
 who receive mercy

00:07:37.379 --> 00:07:39.379
 while an undeserving

00:07:39.379 --> 00:07:40.459
 enemy of God

00:07:40.459 --> 00:07:41.980
 will have a heart

00:07:41.980 --> 00:07:42.980
 heart

00:07:42.980 --> 00:07:43.879
 of love

00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:44.600
 and mercy

00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:45.480
 for the most

00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:46.280
 ungrateful

00:07:46.280 --> 00:07:46.939
 and the most

00:07:46.939 --> 00:07:47.960
 difficult of people

00:07:47.960 --> 00:07:49.240
 even

00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:52.259
 their enemies.

00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:54.879
 You see,

00:07:54.939 --> 00:07:55.500
 when a Christian

00:07:55.500 --> 00:07:56.340
 sees

00:07:56.340 --> 00:07:57.939
 prostitutes

00:07:57.939 --> 00:07:59.340
 and alcoholics

00:07:59.340 --> 00:07:59.960
 and prisoners

00:07:59.960 --> 00:08:01.000
 and drug addicts

00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:01.560
 and the homeless

00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:02.180
 and refugees

00:08:02.180 --> 00:08:03.040
 and the broken

00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:04.000
 and the destitute,

00:08:04.840 --> 00:08:07.060
 when they see them,

00:08:07.140 --> 00:08:07.939
 they're face to face

00:08:07.939 --> 00:08:08.220
 with them,

00:08:08.280 --> 00:08:08.920
 they know

00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:09.819
 that they are looking

00:08:09.819 --> 00:08:10.639
 in a mirror.

00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:13.279
 That's the heart

00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:13.800
 of the Christian.

00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:14.379
 They know

00:08:14.379 --> 00:08:15.000
 that they're looking

00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:15.519
 in a mirror

00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:16.360
 at that moment.

00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:18.740
 It is irrelevant

00:08:18.740 --> 00:08:19.920
 if that Christian

00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:21.139
 has spent

00:08:21.139 --> 00:08:22.379
 their entire life

00:08:22.379 --> 00:08:23.339
 as a respectable

00:08:23.339 --> 00:08:24.699
 middle class person,

00:08:24.860 --> 00:08:26.100
 they look at the broken,

00:08:26.420 --> 00:08:27.920
 they look at the outcast,

00:08:28.459 --> 00:08:29.659
 and they say,

00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:30.120
 spiritually,

00:08:30.259 --> 00:08:31.560
 I was that person.

00:08:32.620 --> 00:08:33.399
 Even if physically

00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:33.980
 and socially,

00:08:34.059 --> 00:08:34.539
 I've never been

00:08:34.539 --> 00:08:35.179
 where that person is

00:08:35.179 --> 00:08:35.720
 right now,

00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:38.660
 they are

00:08:38.660 --> 00:08:39.519
 in desperate

00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:40.180
 need

00:08:40.180 --> 00:08:41.220
 of mercy

00:08:41.220 --> 00:08:42.019
 and I

00:08:42.019 --> 00:08:42.720
 was in desperate

00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:43.519
 need of mercy.

00:08:45.899 --> 00:08:47.060
 God gives mercy

00:08:47.060 --> 00:08:48.000
 to the ungrateful

00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:48.580
 and the wicked.

00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:50.120
 That is what we were

00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:51.420
 and the powerful effect

00:08:51.420 --> 00:08:52.080
 of his mercy

00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:52.920
 and his grace to us

00:08:52.920 --> 00:08:53.700
 is we become

00:08:53.700 --> 00:08:56.480
 like a merciful God.

00:08:57.779 --> 00:08:59.139
 That's what we become like.

00:08:59.379 --> 00:09:00.040
 His mercy

00:09:00.040 --> 00:09:01.379
 makes us more merciful

00:09:01.379 --> 00:09:02.379
 and the parable

00:09:02.379 --> 00:09:03.200
 in Matthew 18

00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:04.240
 that John read out

00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:05.160
 for us a moment ago

00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:07.759
 makes this principle

00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:10.679
 really clear.

00:09:10.980 --> 00:09:12.419
 It shows the principle

00:09:12.419 --> 00:09:13.439
 with a great deal

00:09:13.439 --> 00:09:14.059
 of force.

00:09:14.719 --> 00:09:15.419
 It's a parable

00:09:15.419 --> 00:09:17.279
 which helps us

00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:17.779
 to see

00:09:17.779 --> 00:09:19.139
 how grace

00:09:19.139 --> 00:09:20.179
 motivates

00:09:20.179 --> 00:09:21.159
 a life of grace.

00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:23.839
 Jesus has been

00:09:23.839 --> 00:09:24.439
 talking about

00:09:24.439 --> 00:09:24.980
 Matthew 18.

00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:25.659
 You've got your Bibles,

00:09:25.860 --> 00:09:26.779
 go to Matthew 18.

00:09:27.860 --> 00:09:28.860
 Jesus has been

00:09:28.860 --> 00:09:30.240
 talking about

00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:31.299
 how to handle things

00:09:31.299 --> 00:09:32.039
 when someone sins

00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:32.459
 against you

00:09:32.459 --> 00:09:32.899
 and particularly

00:09:32.899 --> 00:09:33.799
 when a brother

00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:34.419
 or sister sins

00:09:34.419 --> 00:09:34.839
 against you

00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:35.259
 but really

00:09:35.259 --> 00:09:36.259
 it's to everyone.

00:09:38.379 --> 00:09:38.759
 And Jesus

00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:39.740
 asks a question

00:09:39.740 --> 00:09:40.519
 in verse 21.

00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:41.240
 Sorry,

00:09:41.340 --> 00:09:41.759
 not Jesus,

00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:42.960
 Peter asks a question.

00:09:43.420 --> 00:09:44.160
 He's always the guy

00:09:44.160 --> 00:09:44.860
 who comes up first.

00:09:44.920 --> 00:09:45.360
 He's always the guy

00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:46.519
 with the first question.

00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:48.600
 And Peter

00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:50.000
 asks this question.

00:09:50.160 --> 00:09:50.440
 He says,

00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:50.720
 Lord,

00:09:50.820 --> 00:09:51.320
 how many times

00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:51.879
 should I forgive

00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:52.399
 my brother

00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:53.320
 or sister

00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:54.420
 who sins against me?

00:09:54.580 --> 00:09:55.960
 Up to seven times?

00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:57.139
 Now you see,

00:09:57.200 --> 00:09:57.639
 the attitude

00:09:57.639 --> 00:09:58.580
 of the rabbis

00:09:58.580 --> 00:09:59.440
 in the first century

00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:00.460
 around Jesus' time

00:10:00.460 --> 00:10:01.700
 is that you would

00:10:01.700 --> 00:10:02.620
 forgive your brother

00:10:02.620 --> 00:10:03.120
 or your sister

00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:03.920
 three times.

00:10:05.280 --> 00:10:07.460
 That's where we get

00:10:07.460 --> 00:10:08.780
 that's the tradition,

00:10:08.980 --> 00:10:10.280
 that's what lies behind

00:10:10.280 --> 00:10:11.240
 the statement

00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:12.160
 when we say

00:10:12.160 --> 00:10:13.000
 three strikes

00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:13.580
 and you're out.

00:10:14.300 --> 00:10:15.200
 It goes right back

00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:16.220
 to that Jewish heritage

00:10:16.220 --> 00:10:17.540
 which says

00:10:17.540 --> 00:10:18.500
 you could forgive

00:10:18.500 --> 00:10:19.300
 your brother or sister

00:10:19.300 --> 00:10:20.740
 no more than three times.

00:10:20.800 --> 00:10:21.280
 Three strikes

00:10:21.280 --> 00:10:21.740
 and you're out.

00:10:22.560 --> 00:10:23.220
 And so Peter

00:10:23.220 --> 00:10:24.440
 who suffers

00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:26.139
 from foot in mouth disease

00:10:26.139 --> 00:10:27.820
 is thinking,

00:10:28.779 --> 00:10:29.139
 you know,

00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:30.960
 I have come up short

00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:32.399
 so many times

00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:33.039
 with Jesus.

00:10:33.680 --> 00:10:34.899
 Jesus asks a question,

00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:35.659
 I give an answer

00:10:35.659 --> 00:10:37.019
 and it's always wrong.

00:10:37.779 --> 00:10:38.779
 So this time

00:10:38.779 --> 00:10:40.600
 I'm going to get the three,

00:10:40.700 --> 00:10:41.200
 I'm going to double

00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:41.659
 and add one

00:10:41.659 --> 00:10:42.259
 just for sure.

00:10:42.899 --> 00:10:43.060
 You know,

00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:43.919
 seven's a perfect number,

00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:44.519
 it must be seven

00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:45.500
 so let's go with that.

00:10:46.220 --> 00:10:46.639
 And so

00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:48.980
 Jesus gives

00:10:48.980 --> 00:10:50.500
 this stunning response

00:10:50.500 --> 00:10:51.299
 in verse 22.

00:10:51.299 --> 00:10:52.399
 I tell you,

00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:54.919
 not seven times

00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:57.019
 but 77 times.

00:10:57.599 --> 00:10:58.339
 And Peter goes,

00:10:58.539 --> 00:10:59.500
 not again.

00:11:00.339 --> 00:11:00.620
 You know,

00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:01.599
 back to the back

00:11:01.599 --> 00:11:02.219
 of the line.

00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:02.539
 You know,

00:11:02.599 --> 00:11:02.899
 John,

00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:03.779
 say something.

00:11:04.359 --> 00:11:04.539
 You know,

00:11:05.259 --> 00:11:05.899
 Barnabas,

00:11:05.959 --> 00:11:06.639
 what do you guys

00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:07.259
 say something?

00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:10.759
 And

00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:12.599
 some people say

00:11:12.599 --> 00:11:13.299
 that Jesus meant

00:11:13.299 --> 00:11:14.279
 77 times.

00:11:14.479 --> 00:11:14.979
 Others say,

00:11:15.079 --> 00:11:15.599
 well actually he meant

00:11:15.599 --> 00:11:16.539
 70 times 7,

00:11:16.579 --> 00:11:17.439
 that's the better translation

00:11:17.439 --> 00:11:17.919
 so he meant

00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:19.259
 490 times.

00:11:19.259 --> 00:11:21.860
 either alternative

00:11:21.860 --> 00:11:23.080
 is simply

00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:24.100
 missing the point

00:11:24.100 --> 00:11:24.659
 of what Jesus

00:11:24.659 --> 00:11:25.340
 is saying here.

00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:27.279
 Jesus

00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:28.500
 is saying

00:11:28.500 --> 00:11:28.980
 do

00:11:28.980 --> 00:11:30.759
 not go into

00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:31.319
 pedantic

00:11:31.319 --> 00:11:32.240
 calculation

00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:32.939
 of forgiveness

00:11:32.939 --> 00:11:33.639
 and mercy.

00:11:35.500 --> 00:11:36.080
 Forgiveness

00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:36.700
 and mercy

00:11:36.700 --> 00:11:37.919
 is unlimited.

00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:39.120
 That's the point

00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:40.039
 that Jesus is making.

00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:41.960
 That's what God's

00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:43.120
 grace is to us.

00:11:43.220 --> 00:11:44.379
 It is unlimited.

00:11:44.379 --> 00:11:44.539
 Limited.

00:11:46.700 --> 00:11:47.220
 And to make

00:11:47.220 --> 00:11:48.019
 the point clear,

00:11:48.139 --> 00:11:48.799
 Jesus goes on

00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:49.700
 and tells his story.

00:11:50.779 --> 00:11:51.299
 There's a man

00:11:51.299 --> 00:11:51.960
 who owes a king

00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:53.120
 10,000 bags

00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:53.840
 of gold.

00:11:54.580 --> 00:11:54.980
 Translation

00:11:54.980 --> 00:11:55.600
 that John said

00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:56.480
 said 10,000

00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:57.200
 talents.

00:11:58.559 --> 00:11:59.620
 It was a debt,

00:11:59.980 --> 00:12:00.720
 as verse 25

00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:01.299
 says,

00:12:01.379 --> 00:12:02.220
 that was not able

00:12:02.220 --> 00:12:03.340
 to be repaid.

00:12:03.659 --> 00:12:04.080
 That's an

00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:04.820
 understatement.

00:12:07.539 --> 00:12:08.480
 10,000

00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:09.139
 talents.

00:12:09.820 --> 00:12:10.379
 The talent

00:12:10.379 --> 00:12:11.320
 was the highest

00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:12.159
 unit

00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:13.699
 of currency.

00:12:15.579 --> 00:12:16.399
 10,000

00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:16.839
 the highest

00:12:16.839 --> 00:12:17.519
 Greek numeral.

00:12:19.079 --> 00:12:19.459
 It's meant

00:12:19.459 --> 00:12:20.079
 to convey

00:12:20.079 --> 00:12:21.480
 the largest

00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:22.100
 sum

00:12:22.100 --> 00:12:23.779
 imaginable.

00:12:24.819 --> 00:12:25.360
 It's what I

00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:25.860
 say to my kids

00:12:25.860 --> 00:12:26.159
 when they say

00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:26.579
 how much is that?

00:12:26.659 --> 00:12:26.819
 Oh,

00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:27.059
 it's

00:12:27.059 --> 00:12:27.419
 squillions

00:12:27.419 --> 00:12:27.860
 of dollars.

00:12:28.139 --> 00:12:28.319
 You know,

00:12:29.459 --> 00:12:29.980
 just

00:12:29.980 --> 00:12:31.419
 a lot

00:12:31.419 --> 00:12:32.219
 is what

00:12:32.219 --> 00:12:32.620
 that's meant

00:12:32.620 --> 00:12:33.240
 to convey.

00:12:34.319 --> 00:12:34.839
 In actual

00:12:34.839 --> 00:12:35.100
 fact,

00:12:35.199 --> 00:12:35.699
 the debt

00:12:35.699 --> 00:12:36.419
 was

00:12:36.419 --> 00:12:37.259
 10,000

00:12:37.259 --> 00:12:37.879
 was 1,000

00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:38.519
 times

00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:40.059
 the annual

00:12:40.059 --> 00:12:40.539
 revenue

00:12:40.539 --> 00:12:41.379
 of Galilee,

00:12:41.379 --> 00:12:42.460
 Judea,

00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:43.019
 Samaria,

00:12:43.259 --> 00:12:43.919
 and Edomia

00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:45.019
 collectively.

00:12:46.820 --> 00:12:47.639
 And it's

00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:48.059
 like taking

00:12:48.059 --> 00:12:48.860
 all the

00:12:48.860 --> 00:12:49.559
 foreign debt

00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:50.419
 and lumping

00:12:50.419 --> 00:12:51.000
 on one

00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:51.600
 man with

00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:52.220
 the responsibility

00:12:52.220 --> 00:12:52.679
 to pay

00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:53.159
 it back.

00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:56.039
 It's

00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:56.500
 totally

00:12:56.500 --> 00:12:56.919
 beyond

00:12:56.919 --> 00:12:57.679
 imagination

00:12:57.679 --> 00:12:59.419
 for those

00:12:59.419 --> 00:12:59.879
 who first

00:12:59.879 --> 00:13:00.279
 heard it.

00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:01.220
 It's

00:13:01.220 --> 00:13:01.480
 like,

00:13:02.620 --> 00:13:03.500
 that

00:13:03.500 --> 00:13:04.460
 dude's

00:13:04.460 --> 00:13:05.019
 bankrupt

00:13:05.019 --> 00:13:06.820
 several

00:13:06.820 --> 00:13:07.320
 times

00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:07.720
 over.

00:13:08.899 --> 00:13:09.399
 And yet,

00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:10.179
 this servant

00:13:10.179 --> 00:13:10.740
 here in this

00:13:10.740 --> 00:13:11.259
 passage still

00:13:11.259 --> 00:13:11.700
 has a sense

00:13:11.700 --> 00:13:12.100
 of pride.

00:13:12.220 --> 00:13:12.399
 In verse

00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:12.799
 26,

00:13:12.899 --> 00:13:13.220
 it says,

00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:15.659
 this servant

00:13:15.659 --> 00:13:16.139
 fell on his

00:13:16.139 --> 00:13:16.720
 knees before

00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:16.980
 him.

00:13:17.139 --> 00:13:17.919
 Be patient

00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:18.279
 with me,

00:13:18.299 --> 00:13:18.720
 he begged,

00:13:18.779 --> 00:13:19.139
 and I will

00:13:19.139 --> 00:13:19.519
 pay you

00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:20.019
 back everything.

00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:20.240
 See,

00:13:20.299 --> 00:13:20.600
 he hasn't

00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:21.200
 grasped the

00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:21.840
 totality

00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:23.019
 of his

00:13:23.019 --> 00:13:24.159
 debt.

00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:25.320
 Hadn't

00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:26.080
 quite understood

00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:26.539
 that there

00:13:26.539 --> 00:13:27.639
 is no way

00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:27.980
 he could

00:13:27.980 --> 00:13:28.320
 pay back

00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:28.700
 no amount

00:13:28.700 --> 00:13:29.100
 of time,

00:13:29.180 --> 00:13:29.399
 no amount

00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:30.159
 of patience

00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:31.279
 would ever

00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:31.740
 allow him

00:13:31.740 --> 00:13:32.000
 to pay

00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:32.419
 back this

00:13:32.419 --> 00:13:32.659
 debt.

00:13:32.740 --> 00:13:32.980
 He is

00:13:32.980 --> 00:13:33.379
 utterly

00:13:33.379 --> 00:13:33.779
 bankrupt.

00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:34.180
 He is

00:13:34.180 --> 00:13:34.700
 powerless.

00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:35.340
 He is

00:13:35.340 --> 00:13:35.720
 helpless.

00:13:36.100 --> 00:13:36.320
 He has

00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:37.220
 no ability

00:13:37.220 --> 00:13:37.759
 to trade

00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:38.080
 out the

00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:38.659
 situation,

00:13:38.860 --> 00:13:39.360
 which is what

00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:39.779
 bankruptcy

00:13:40.740 --> 00:13:42.980
 is.

00:13:42.980 --> 00:13:43.200
 It's what

00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:43.659
 genuine

00:13:43.659 --> 00:13:44.180
 bankruptcy

00:13:44.180 --> 00:13:44.720
 is.

00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:48.039
 Someone else

00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:48.539
 has to come

00:13:48.539 --> 00:13:48.899
 in on your

00:13:48.899 --> 00:13:49.480
 behalf and

00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:49.980
 take over

00:13:49.980 --> 00:13:50.659
 your affairs

00:13:50.659 --> 00:13:51.139
 to help you

00:13:51.139 --> 00:13:51.659
 trade out

00:13:51.659 --> 00:13:52.080
 of this,

00:13:52.580 --> 00:13:52.879
 help to

00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:53.299
 deal with

00:13:53.299 --> 00:13:53.480
 it.

00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:54.879
 This is

00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:55.299
 what this

00:13:55.299 --> 00:13:56.320
 law expert

00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:56.680
 in Luke

00:13:56.680 --> 00:13:57.340
 10 failed

00:13:57.340 --> 00:13:57.860
 to understand.

00:13:58.019 --> 00:13:58.259
 It's what

00:13:58.259 --> 00:13:59.340
 this gentleman

00:13:59.340 --> 00:13:59.720
 here,

00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:00.240
 this first

00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:00.500
 servant,

00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:01.100
 fails to

00:14:01.100 --> 00:14:01.539
 understand

00:14:01.539 --> 00:14:01.960
 here.

00:14:02.419 --> 00:14:02.720
 But what

00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:03.120
 they fail

00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:03.600
 to understand

00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:03.940
 is that

00:14:03.940 --> 00:14:04.279
 they are

00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:04.980
 both the

00:14:04.980 --> 00:14:05.440
 men on

00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:05.779
 the side

00:14:05.779 --> 00:14:05.919
 of the

00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:06.159
 road,

00:14:06.299 --> 00:14:06.659
 beaten,

00:14:07.579 --> 00:14:08.000
 helpless,

00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:09.879
 dying,

00:14:10.839 --> 00:14:11.620
 destitute,

00:14:12.179 --> 00:14:14.039
 and they

00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:14.319
 need a

00:14:14.319 --> 00:14:14.720
 rescuer.

00:14:16.139 --> 00:14:16.399
 Neither

00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:16.559
 of them

00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:16.959
 could say

00:14:16.959 --> 00:14:17.100
 it.

00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:19.539
 Ephesians 2

00:14:19.539 --> 00:14:19.959
 says that

00:14:19.959 --> 00:14:20.339
 that's all

00:14:20.339 --> 00:14:20.959
 of humanity.

00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:22.100
 We are

00:14:22.100 --> 00:14:22.539
 dead in

00:14:22.539 --> 00:14:22.679
 our

00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:23.299
 transgressions

00:14:23.299 --> 00:14:23.980
 and sins.

00:14:24.860 --> 00:14:25.059
 Dead

00:14:25.059 --> 00:14:25.839
 people don't

00:14:25.839 --> 00:14:26.500
 cut deals,

00:14:26.620 --> 00:14:26.860
 they don't

00:14:26.860 --> 00:14:27.339
 pay back

00:14:27.339 --> 00:14:27.860
 loans.

00:14:29.199 --> 00:14:29.879
 That is

00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:31.480
 our state

00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:32.179
 before God.

00:14:32.179 --> 00:14:34.439
 all of

00:14:34.439 --> 00:14:34.879
 humanity.

00:14:36.819 --> 00:14:37.039
 Now of

00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:37.259
 course,

00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:38.519
 the king

00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:39.339
 who represents

00:14:39.339 --> 00:14:39.959
 God here

00:14:39.959 --> 00:14:40.319
 understood

00:14:40.319 --> 00:14:41.559
 completely

00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:42.659
 the plight

00:14:42.659 --> 00:14:42.959
 of his

00:14:42.959 --> 00:14:43.239
 servant.

00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:45.579
 Verse 27,

00:14:46.239 --> 00:14:46.539
 servant's

00:14:46.539 --> 00:14:46.979
 master took

00:14:46.979 --> 00:14:47.899
 pity on

00:14:47.899 --> 00:14:48.239
 him,

00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:49.039
 which is

00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:49.579
 the exact

00:14:49.579 --> 00:14:50.079
 same word

00:14:50.079 --> 00:14:50.419
 which is

00:14:50.419 --> 00:14:50.839
 used

00:14:50.839 --> 00:14:52.099
 above the

00:14:52.099 --> 00:14:52.659
 Samaritan.

00:14:53.319 --> 00:14:53.719
 In Luke

00:14:53.719 --> 00:14:54.019
 10,

00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:54.319
 he had

00:14:54.319 --> 00:14:55.259
 pity on

00:14:55.259 --> 00:14:56.740
 him and

00:14:56.740 --> 00:14:57.379
 he cancelled

00:14:57.379 --> 00:14:57.899
 the debt

00:14:57.899 --> 00:14:58.279
 and he

00:14:58.279 --> 00:14:58.659
 let him

00:14:58.659 --> 00:14:59.039
 go.

00:15:00.479 --> 00:15:00.899
 Again,

00:15:00.959 --> 00:15:01.279
 it's a

00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:01.939
 story about

00:15:01.940 --> 00:15:02.340
 God and

00:15:02.340 --> 00:15:02.580
 the way

00:15:02.580 --> 00:15:02.860
 he has

00:15:02.860 --> 00:15:03.360
 graciously

00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:03.780
 treated

00:15:03.780 --> 00:15:04.260
 us.

00:15:05.040 --> 00:15:05.400
 We who

00:15:05.400 --> 00:15:05.560
 are

00:15:05.560 --> 00:15:05.920
 bankrupt

00:15:05.920 --> 00:15:06.360
 before

00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:06.840
 God

00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:07.080
 with

00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:07.260
 a

00:15:07.260 --> 00:15:07.460
 debt

00:15:07.460 --> 00:15:07.660
 of

00:15:07.660 --> 00:15:07.960
 sin

00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:08.100
 that

00:15:08.100 --> 00:15:08.200
 we

00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:08.360
 could

00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:08.580
 never

00:15:08.580 --> 00:15:09.100
 repay

00:15:09.100 --> 00:15:09.800
 have

00:15:09.800 --> 00:15:09.980
 been

00:15:09.980 --> 00:15:10.480
 forgiven.

00:15:11.640 --> 00:15:11.900
 Our

00:15:11.900 --> 00:15:12.340
 sin

00:15:12.340 --> 00:15:12.920
 against

00:15:12.920 --> 00:15:13.300
 God

00:15:13.300 --> 00:15:13.460
 has

00:15:13.460 --> 00:15:13.640
 been

00:15:13.640 --> 00:15:14.240
 piling

00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:14.560
 up

00:15:14.560 --> 00:15:15.400
 load

00:15:15.400 --> 00:15:16.200
 of

00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:16.500
 bad

00:15:16.500 --> 00:15:16.820
 load

00:15:16.820 --> 00:15:17.220
 debt

00:15:17.220 --> 00:15:17.540
 after

00:15:17.540 --> 00:15:17.940
 debt

00:15:17.940 --> 00:15:18.500
 hour

00:15:18.500 --> 00:15:18.760
 after

00:16:52.319 --> 00:16:55.240
 that's

00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:55.360
 what

00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:55.519
 we

00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:55.740
 exist

00:16:55.740 --> 00:16:55.919
 for

00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:56.139
 as a

00:16:56.139 --> 00:16:56.399
 church

00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:56.779
 we

00:16:56.779 --> 00:16:56.860
 want

00:16:56.860 --> 00:16:57.019
 people

00:16:57.019 --> 00:16:57.139
 to

00:16:57.139 --> 00:16:57.319
 know

00:16:57.319 --> 00:16:57.620
 Jesus

00:16:57.620 --> 00:16:57.759
 and

00:16:57.759 --> 00:16:57.959
 treasure

00:16:57.959 --> 00:16:58.259
 Jesus

00:16:58.259 --> 00:16:58.439
 because

00:16:58.439 --> 00:16:58.519
 it's

00:16:58.519 --> 00:16:58.600
 the

00:16:58.600 --> 00:16:58.840
 greatest

00:17:04.900 --> 00:17:05.900
 now the twist

00:17:05.900 --> 00:17:06.340
 in the story

00:17:06.340 --> 00:17:06.920
 comes

00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:07.720
 when this

00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:08.120
 servant

00:17:08.120 --> 00:17:08.960
 who's been

00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:10.040
 forgiven

00:17:10.040 --> 00:17:10.400
 this

00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:11.940
 enormous

00:17:11.940 --> 00:17:12.700
 debt

00:17:12.700 --> 00:17:13.780
 goes out

00:17:13.780 --> 00:17:14.220
 and makes

00:17:14.220 --> 00:17:14.660
 sure that

00:17:14.660 --> 00:17:15.060
 this other

00:17:15.060 --> 00:17:15.519
 guy

00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:16.420
 who owes

00:17:16.420 --> 00:17:16.980
 him a

00:17:16.980 --> 00:17:17.160
 few

00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:17.680
 dollars

00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:18.860
 pays

00:17:18.860 --> 00:17:19.300
 him back

00:17:19.300 --> 00:17:19.620
 right down

00:17:19.620 --> 00:17:19.900
 the last

00:17:19.900 --> 00:17:20.040
 sentence

00:17:20.040 --> 00:17:20.580
 verse 28

00:17:20.580 --> 00:17:22.200
 but when

00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:23.040
 that servant

00:17:23.040 --> 00:17:23.519
 went out

00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:23.940
 he found

00:17:23.940 --> 00:17:24.360
 one of his

00:17:24.360 --> 00:17:24.940
 fellow servants

00:17:24.940 --> 00:17:25.420
 who owed

00:17:25.420 --> 00:17:25.700
 him a

00:17:25.700 --> 00:17:26.080
 hundred

00:17:26.080 --> 00:17:26.960
 silver

00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:27.500
 coins

00:17:27.500 --> 00:17:29.019
 he grabbed

00:17:29.019 --> 00:17:29.319
 him began

00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:29.779
 to choke

00:17:29.779 --> 00:17:30.319
 him pay

00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:30.779
 back

00:17:30.779 --> 00:17:31.079
 what do

00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:31.319
 you owe

00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:31.579
 me he

00:17:31.579 --> 00:17:31.940
 demanded

00:17:31.940 --> 00:17:33.740
 his fellow

00:17:33.740 --> 00:17:34.259
 servant fell

00:17:34.259 --> 00:17:34.539
 on his

00:17:34.539 --> 00:17:34.879
 knees and

00:17:34.879 --> 00:17:35.299
 he begged

00:17:35.299 --> 00:17:36.099
 him please

00:17:36.099 --> 00:17:36.579
 be patient

00:17:36.579 --> 00:17:36.920
 with me and

00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:37.240
 I'll pay

00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:37.660
 you back

00:17:37.660 --> 00:17:39.339
 but he

00:17:39.339 --> 00:17:40.180
 refused

00:17:40.180 --> 00:17:41.759
 instead he

00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:42.279
 went off

00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:42.680
 and had the

00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:43.940
 man thrown

00:17:43.940 --> 00:17:44.599
 into prison

00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:46.500
 until he

00:17:46.500 --> 00:17:46.980
 could pay

00:17:46.980 --> 00:17:47.619
 the debt

00:17:47.619 --> 00:17:52.920
 it's ludicrous

00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:53.779
 isn't it

00:17:53.779 --> 00:17:56.359
 this second

00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:56.740
 servant

00:17:56.740 --> 00:17:57.559
 debt against

00:17:57.559 --> 00:17:57.980
 the first

00:17:57.980 --> 00:17:58.579
 servant is

00:17:58.579 --> 00:17:59.059
 one

00:17:59.059 --> 00:17:59.659
 six

00:17:59.659 --> 00:18:00.039
 hundred

00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:01.099
 thousandth

00:18:01.099 --> 00:18:02.960
 of the

00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:03.480
 first debt

00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:04.839
 that's how

00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:05.339
 ludicrous it

00:18:05.339 --> 00:18:05.879
 is it's

00:18:05.879 --> 00:18:06.679
 like I

00:18:06.679 --> 00:18:07.119
 don't have

00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:07.699
 a mortgage

00:18:07.699 --> 00:18:08.399
 this big

00:18:08.399 --> 00:18:09.619
 but if I

00:18:09.619 --> 00:18:09.839
 bought a

00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:10.099
 house I

00:18:10.099 --> 00:18:10.399
 would

00:18:10.399 --> 00:18:13.159
 bigger in

00:18:13.159 --> 00:18:13.399
 fact

00:18:13.399 --> 00:18:15.359
 is it

00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:15.819
 it's like

00:18:15.819 --> 00:18:16.439
 the bank

00:18:16.439 --> 00:18:16.899
 rings me

00:18:16.899 --> 00:18:17.059
 and says

00:18:17.059 --> 00:18:17.480
 Steve

00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:18.359
 lucky day

00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:18.639
 we had

00:18:18.639 --> 00:18:19.019
 this sort

00:18:19.019 --> 00:18:19.379
 of spin

00:18:19.379 --> 00:18:19.819
 the wheel

00:18:19.819 --> 00:18:20.659
 at the

00:18:20.659 --> 00:18:21.179
 office today

00:18:21.179 --> 00:18:21.559
 and your

00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:21.879
 debt's

00:18:21.879 --> 00:18:22.519
 being cancelled

00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:23.000
 six hundred

00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:23.679
 thousand dollars

00:18:23.679 --> 00:18:24.279
 boom you're

00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:24.619
 done

00:18:24.619 --> 00:18:25.480
 white free

00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:26.059
 it's all

00:18:26.059 --> 00:18:26.399
 yours

00:18:26.399 --> 00:18:27.139
 the paperwork's

00:18:27.139 --> 00:18:27.619
 in the mail

00:18:27.619 --> 00:18:28.539
 woohoo

00:18:28.539 --> 00:18:31.200
 and I go

00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:31.940
 immediately to

00:18:31.940 --> 00:18:32.299
 John

00:18:32.299 --> 00:18:34.480
 John remember

00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:35.379
 last week I

00:18:35.379 --> 00:18:35.779
 lent you that

00:18:35.779 --> 00:18:37.460
 dollar for

00:18:37.460 --> 00:18:38.139
 that stamp

00:18:38.139 --> 00:18:39.220
 or for

00:18:39.220 --> 00:18:39.759
 whatever else

00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:39.960
 that you

00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:40.319
 bought

00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:42.220
 not much

00:18:42.220 --> 00:18:45.279
 ice cream

00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:46.180
 cheap ice cream

00:18:46.180 --> 00:18:46.980
 McDonald's

00:18:46.980 --> 00:18:50.120
 and I

00:18:50.120 --> 00:18:50.440
 just

00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:51.360
 and John

00:18:51.360 --> 00:18:51.640
 said I

00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:52.019
 don't have

00:18:52.019 --> 00:18:52.400
 it on me

00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:52.960
 right now

00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:53.259
 and I

00:18:53.259 --> 00:18:53.700
 just leapt

00:18:53.700 --> 00:18:53.940
 on him

00:18:53.940 --> 00:18:54.360
 and started

00:18:54.360 --> 00:18:55.120
 choking him

00:18:55.120 --> 00:18:55.839
 John

00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:57.079
 pay me

00:18:57.079 --> 00:18:57.559
 back

00:18:57.559 --> 00:18:57.819
 and I

00:18:57.819 --> 00:18:58.180
 ring the

00:18:58.180 --> 00:18:58.620
 cops and

00:18:58.620 --> 00:18:58.900
 cart him

00:18:58.900 --> 00:18:59.180
 away

00:18:59.180 --> 00:18:59.539
 it owes me

00:18:59.539 --> 00:18:59.900
 a dollar

00:18:59.900 --> 00:19:03.160
 it's ludicrous

00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:03.640
 isn't it

00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:05.180
 isn't it

00:19:05.180 --> 00:19:05.720
 ludicrous

00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:07.839
 that's

00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:08.380
 nuts

00:19:08.380 --> 00:19:12.960
 you see

00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:13.319
 any

00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:14.100
 limitation

00:19:14.100 --> 00:19:14.779
 of grace

00:19:14.779 --> 00:19:15.360
 or forgiveness

00:19:15.360 --> 00:19:16.019
 or mercy

00:19:16.019 --> 00:19:17.140
 that this

00:19:17.140 --> 00:19:18.480
 first servant

00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:19.299
 shows

00:19:19.299 --> 00:19:20.880
 is

00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:22.319
 inconceivable

00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:25.440
 second

00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:25.980
 servant

00:19:25.980 --> 00:19:26.180
 here

00:19:26.180 --> 00:19:26.700
 pleads for

00:19:26.700 --> 00:19:26.940
 mercy

00:19:26.940 --> 00:19:27.480
 be patient

00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:27.779
 and I

00:19:27.779 --> 00:19:28.120
 will pay

00:19:28.120 --> 00:19:28.579
 you back

00:19:28.579 --> 00:19:29.100
 and he

00:19:29.100 --> 00:19:29.420
 could have

00:19:29.420 --> 00:19:29.740
 paid him

00:19:29.740 --> 00:19:30.200
 back over

00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:30.620
 time

00:19:30.620 --> 00:19:31.380
 he did

00:19:31.380 --> 00:19:31.700
 have a

00:19:31.700 --> 00:19:31.940
 job

00:19:31.940 --> 00:19:32.339
 he did

00:19:32.339 --> 00:19:32.759
 work

00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:33.279
 he did

00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:33.799
 get money

00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:34.339
 but the

00:19:34.339 --> 00:19:34.659
 moment

00:19:34.659 --> 00:19:35.139
 that first

00:19:35.139 --> 00:19:35.379
 servant

00:19:35.379 --> 00:19:35.839
 threw him

00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:36.359
 into prison

00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:37.579
 his livelihood

00:19:37.579 --> 00:19:38.019
 is taken

00:19:38.019 --> 00:19:38.299
 away

00:19:38.299 --> 00:19:38.519
 and he

00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:38.759
 can't

00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:38.899
 pay

00:19:38.899 --> 00:19:39.019
 him

00:19:39.019 --> 00:19:39.200
 back

00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:39.460
 and so

00:19:39.460 --> 00:19:39.599
 he

00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:39.759
 will

00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:40.399
 hold

00:19:40.399 --> 00:19:41.000
 that

00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:41.319
 debt

00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:41.839
 against

00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:42.180
 him

00:19:42.180 --> 00:19:42.859
 forever

00:19:42.859 --> 00:19:46.480
 the one

00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:46.859
 who had

00:19:46.859 --> 00:19:47.220
 been shown

00:19:47.220 --> 00:19:47.599
 mercy

00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:48.279
 refused

00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:48.659
 to show

00:19:48.659 --> 00:19:49.159
 mercy

00:19:49.159 --> 00:19:49.839
 it is

00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:51.240
 a totally

00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:52.480
 unthinkable

00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:53.299
 response

00:19:53.299 --> 00:19:53.779
 to God's

00:19:53.779 --> 00:19:54.139
 grace

00:19:54.139 --> 00:19:55.659
 and it's

00:19:55.659 --> 00:19:56.659
 not unlike

00:19:56.659 --> 00:19:57.980
 what Paul

00:19:57.980 --> 00:19:58.559
 teaches in

00:19:58.559 --> 00:19:59.240
 Romans 6

00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:00.819
 I'll read

00:20:00.819 --> 00:20:01.599
 it to you

00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:02.460
 verse 15

00:20:02.460 --> 00:20:02.779
 it says

00:20:02.779 --> 00:20:03.240
 what then

00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:03.639
 shall we

00:20:03.639 --> 00:20:04.299
 shall we

00:20:04.299 --> 00:20:04.660
 sin

00:20:04.660 --> 00:20:05.220
 because we

00:20:05.220 --> 00:20:05.539
 are no

00:20:05.539 --> 00:20:05.879
 longer

00:20:05.879 --> 00:20:06.539
 under the

00:20:06.539 --> 00:20:06.700
 law

00:20:06.700 --> 00:20:07.039
 but under

00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:07.440
 grace

00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:08.839
 by no

00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:09.420
 means

00:20:09.420 --> 00:20:10.240
 don't you

00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:10.460
 know

00:20:10.460 --> 00:20:10.779
 that when

00:20:10.779 --> 00:20:11.180
 you offer

00:20:11.180 --> 00:20:11.519
 yourselves

00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:12.000
 to someone

00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:12.519
 as obedient

00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:13.039
 slaves

00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:13.519
 you are

00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:13.899
 slaves to

00:20:13.899 --> 00:20:14.059
 the one

00:20:14.059 --> 00:20:14.519
 you obey

00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:15.180
 whether you

00:20:15.180 --> 00:20:15.539
 are slaves

00:20:15.539 --> 00:20:15.940
 to sin

00:20:15.940 --> 00:20:16.299
 which leads

00:20:16.299 --> 00:20:16.720
 to death

00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:18.000
 or obedience

00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:18.500
 which leads

00:20:18.500 --> 00:20:19.099
 to righteousness

00:20:19.099 --> 00:20:20.339
 but thanks be

00:20:20.339 --> 00:20:20.759
 to God

00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:21.379
 that though

00:20:21.379 --> 00:20:21.819
 you used

00:20:21.819 --> 00:20:22.039
 to be

00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:22.359
 slaves

00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:22.819
 to sin

00:20:22.819 --> 00:20:23.920
 you have

00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:24.420
 come to

00:20:24.420 --> 00:20:24.779
 obey

00:20:24.779 --> 00:20:25.299
 from your

00:20:25.299 --> 00:20:25.599
 heart

00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:26.059
 the pattern

00:20:26.059 --> 00:20:26.579
 of teaching

00:20:26.579 --> 00:20:27.240
 that has

00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:28.259
 now claimed

00:20:28.259 --> 00:20:29.160
 your allegiance

00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:29.980
 you have

00:20:29.980 --> 00:20:30.559
 been set

00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:31.119
 free from

00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:31.559
 sin

00:20:31.559 --> 00:20:32.059
 and it

00:20:32.059 --> 00:20:32.440
 becomes

00:20:32.440 --> 00:20:33.039
 slaves

00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:33.299
 to

00:20:33.299 --> 00:20:34.000
 righteousness

00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:34.880
 so what

00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:35.140
 Paul's

00:20:35.140 --> 00:20:35.519
 doing here

00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:36.100
 in Romans 6

00:20:36.100 --> 00:20:36.940
 he's quoting

00:20:36.940 --> 00:20:37.600
 this person

00:20:37.600 --> 00:20:39.120
 and he's

00:20:39.120 --> 00:20:39.660
 trying to help

00:20:39.660 --> 00:20:40.140
 this poor

00:20:40.140 --> 00:20:40.559
 individual

00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:41.519
 who doesn't

00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:42.160
 understand

00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:43.220
 the essence

00:20:43.220 --> 00:20:43.539
 of the

00:20:43.539 --> 00:20:44.320
 Christian life

00:20:44.320 --> 00:20:45.340
 and this

00:20:45.340 --> 00:20:45.920
 person

00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:46.840
 listens to

00:20:46.840 --> 00:20:47.240
 Paul

00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:47.759
 about

00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:48.660
 and what

00:20:48.660 --> 00:20:48.980
 Paul's

00:20:48.980 --> 00:20:49.259
 teaching

00:20:49.259 --> 00:20:49.840
 is that

00:20:49.840 --> 00:20:51.519
 we have

00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:51.900
 a right

00:20:51.900 --> 00:20:52.360
 standing

00:20:52.360 --> 00:20:53.120
 with God

00:20:53.120 --> 00:20:55.660
 by God's

00:20:55.660 --> 00:20:56.100
 grace

00:20:56.100 --> 00:20:57.259
 through faith

00:20:57.259 --> 00:20:58.220
 apart from

00:20:58.220 --> 00:20:58.980
 any effort

00:20:58.980 --> 00:20:59.420
 on our

00:20:59.420 --> 00:21:00.000
 behalf

00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:00.680
 this person

00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:01.079
 hears

00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:01.559
 that

00:21:01.559 --> 00:21:02.940
 hears

00:21:02.940 --> 00:21:03.180
 it as

00:21:03.180 --> 00:21:03.460
 good

00:21:03.460 --> 00:21:04.019
 news

00:21:04.019 --> 00:21:04.819
 and they

00:21:04.819 --> 00:21:05.440
 respond

00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:05.799
 with

00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:06.099
 well

00:21:06.099 --> 00:21:06.400
 if I

00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:06.579
 have a

00:21:06.579 --> 00:21:06.740
 right

00:21:06.740 --> 00:21:06.960
 standing

00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:07.539
 with God

00:21:07.539 --> 00:21:08.319
 by trusting

00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:08.640
 in his

00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:09.279
 merciful actions

00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:09.720
 towards me

00:21:09.720 --> 00:21:09.880
 and the

00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:10.380
 Lord Jesus

00:21:10.380 --> 00:21:11.000
 and if

00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:11.420
 all of my

00:21:11.420 --> 00:21:11.660
 sins

00:21:11.660 --> 00:21:12.019
 past

00:21:12.019 --> 00:21:12.339
 present

00:21:12.339 --> 00:21:12.779
 and future

00:21:12.779 --> 00:21:13.119
 are all

00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:13.460
 forgiven

00:21:13.460 --> 00:21:15.400
 I might as

00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:15.579
 well go

00:21:15.579 --> 00:21:15.940
 on sitting

00:21:15.940 --> 00:21:16.259
 then

00:21:16.259 --> 00:21:17.619
 I might as

00:21:17.619 --> 00:21:18.559
 well enjoy

00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:19.099
 that

00:21:19.099 --> 00:21:20.319
 and enjoy

00:21:20.319 --> 00:21:20.779
 doing

00:21:20.779 --> 00:21:22.160
 whatever I

00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:22.599
 want

00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:24.059
 keep on

00:21:24.059 --> 00:21:24.359
 sitting

00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:26.199
 and what

00:21:26.199 --> 00:21:26.679
 Paul says

00:21:26.679 --> 00:21:27.319
 is that's

00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:27.659
 the way

00:21:27.659 --> 00:21:28.159
 a person

00:21:28.159 --> 00:21:28.839
 talks

00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:29.439
 whose

00:21:29.439 --> 00:21:29.979
 Christianity

00:21:29.979 --> 00:21:30.979
 is simply

00:21:30.979 --> 00:21:31.479
 a group

00:21:31.479 --> 00:21:32.219
 of ideas

00:21:32.219 --> 00:21:33.500
 and not

00:21:33.500 --> 00:21:34.539
 an experience

00:21:34.539 --> 00:21:35.359
 of the

00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:35.699
 precious

00:21:35.699 --> 00:21:36.339
 mercy of

00:21:36.339 --> 00:21:36.719
 Christ

00:21:36.719 --> 00:21:37.339
 it's a

00:21:37.339 --> 00:21:37.619
 person

00:21:37.619 --> 00:21:37.799
 whose

00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:38.339
 Christianity

00:21:38.339 --> 00:21:39.299
 is all

00:21:39.299 --> 00:21:39.619
 truth

00:21:39.619 --> 00:21:40.240
 no treasure

00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:41.479
 all choices

00:21:41.479 --> 00:21:42.319
 no cherishing

00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:44.439
 all logic

00:21:44.439 --> 00:21:45.079
 about Christ

00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:45.500
 no love

00:21:45.500 --> 00:21:45.919
 for Christ

00:21:45.919 --> 00:21:46.619
 all decisions

00:21:46.619 --> 00:21:47.339
 and no delight

00:21:47.339 --> 00:21:50.399
 he says

00:21:50.399 --> 00:21:50.659
 it's not

00:21:50.659 --> 00:21:50.939
 genuine

00:21:50.939 --> 00:21:51.519
 Christianity

00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:52.199
 it's not

00:21:52.199 --> 00:21:52.459
 genuine

00:21:52.459 --> 00:21:52.939
 faith

00:21:52.940 --> 00:21:55.960
 a grasp

00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:56.559
 and an

00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:57.039
 experience

00:21:57.039 --> 00:21:57.640
 of mercy

00:21:57.640 --> 00:21:58.960
 gives rise

00:21:58.960 --> 00:21:59.440
 to a life

00:21:59.440 --> 00:21:59.880
 of mercy

00:21:59.880 --> 00:22:00.320
 and we see

00:22:00.320 --> 00:22:00.600
 that in

00:22:00.600 --> 00:22:01.140
 Matthew 18

00:22:01.140 --> 00:22:01.960
 leading verse

00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:02.840
 32 onwards

00:22:02.840 --> 00:22:03.660
 then the

00:22:03.660 --> 00:22:04.220
 master called

00:22:04.220 --> 00:22:04.559
 the servant

00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:04.980
 in the first

00:22:04.980 --> 00:22:05.180
 servant

00:22:05.180 --> 00:22:05.700
 in that is

00:22:05.700 --> 00:22:06.840
 he says

00:22:06.840 --> 00:22:07.240
 you wicked

00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:07.660
 servant

00:22:07.660 --> 00:22:09.759
 I cancelled

00:22:09.759 --> 00:22:10.799
 all that debt

00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:11.240
 of yours

00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:11.680
 because you

00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:12.580
 begged me

00:22:12.580 --> 00:22:15.460
 shouldn't

00:22:15.460 --> 00:22:15.940
 you have

00:22:15.940 --> 00:22:16.500
 had mercy

00:22:16.500 --> 00:22:17.000
 on your

00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:17.799
 fellow servant

00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:18.420
 just as I

00:22:18.420 --> 00:22:18.940
 had on you

00:22:18.940 --> 00:22:20.779
 that is

00:22:20.779 --> 00:22:22.480
 logical

00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:23.819
 reasonable

00:22:23.819 --> 00:22:24.900
 application

00:22:24.900 --> 00:22:25.500
 to mercy

00:22:25.500 --> 00:22:25.980
 is that

00:22:25.980 --> 00:22:26.279
 you would

00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:26.740
 immediately

00:22:26.740 --> 00:22:27.339
 have mercy

00:22:27.339 --> 00:22:27.700
 you have

00:22:27.700 --> 00:22:28.200
 not understood

00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:28.599
 mercy

00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:28.980
 if that's

00:22:28.980 --> 00:22:29.279
 not your

00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:29.740
 response

00:22:29.740 --> 00:22:32.620
 so the

00:22:32.620 --> 00:22:33.160
 master says

00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:34.019
 throw him

00:22:34.019 --> 00:22:34.220
 in the

00:22:34.220 --> 00:22:34.420
 jail

00:22:34.420 --> 00:22:34.700
 too

00:22:34.700 --> 00:22:38.660
 see

00:22:38.660 --> 00:22:39.140
 Jesus

00:22:39.140 --> 00:22:39.559
 purpose

00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:40.180
 of the

00:22:40.180 --> 00:22:40.460
 parable

00:22:40.460 --> 00:22:40.799
 of Matthew

00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:41.180
 18

00:22:41.180 --> 00:22:42.519
 is to

00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:42.920
 teach the

00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:43.279
 principle

00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:43.900
 of unconditional

00:22:43.900 --> 00:22:44.480
 forgiveness

00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:44.660
 forgiveness

00:22:44.660 --> 00:22:49.920
 and especially

00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:50.740
 you do not

00:22:50.740 --> 00:22:52.319
 understand the

00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:53.039
 forgiveness of

00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:53.759
 God if your

00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:54.299
 life is

00:22:54.299 --> 00:22:54.860
 bulging with

00:22:54.860 --> 00:22:55.319
 resentment

00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:58.200
 towards other

00:22:58.200 --> 00:22:58.819
 people who've

00:22:58.819 --> 00:23:00.720
 treated you

00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:01.039
 badly

00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:01.700
 and I want to

00:23:01.700 --> 00:23:02.220
 suggest to you

00:23:02.220 --> 00:23:02.500
 that the

00:23:02.500 --> 00:23:03.019
 ministry of

00:23:03.019 --> 00:23:03.660
 mercy has the

00:23:03.660 --> 00:23:04.380
 same motivation

00:23:04.380 --> 00:23:04.900
 and rationale

00:23:04.900 --> 00:23:05.920
 that is the

00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:07.039
 grace of God

00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:08.019
 to us is the

00:23:08.019 --> 00:23:09.079
 rationale behind

00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:10.120
 love your

00:23:10.120 --> 00:23:10.380
 neighbour

00:23:10.380 --> 00:23:12.500
 the grace of

00:23:12.500 --> 00:23:13.640
 God is dynamic

00:23:13.640 --> 00:23:14.180
 and life

00:23:14.180 --> 00:23:14.500
 changing

00:23:14.500 --> 00:23:15.340
 God's grace

00:23:15.340 --> 00:23:16.400
 his compassion

00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:16.980
 his love

00:23:16.980 --> 00:23:17.480
 his mercy

00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:18.060
 his forgiveness

00:23:18.060 --> 00:23:18.940
 is meant to

00:23:18.940 --> 00:23:20.259
 motivate in us

00:23:20.259 --> 00:23:20.900
 grace

00:23:20.900 --> 00:23:21.420
 compassion

00:23:21.420 --> 00:23:21.800
 love

00:23:21.800 --> 00:23:22.140
 mercy

00:23:22.140 --> 00:23:22.600
 forgiveness

00:23:22.600 --> 00:23:25.580
 the only

00:23:25.580 --> 00:23:26.240
 true

00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:27.840
 and enduring

00:23:27.840 --> 00:23:28.720
 motivation to

00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:29.340
 love our

00:23:29.340 --> 00:23:30.080
 neighbour is an

00:23:30.080 --> 00:23:31.120
 experience and a

00:23:31.120 --> 00:23:31.980
 grasp of the

00:23:31.980 --> 00:23:32.759
 grace of God

00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:34.440
 if we know

00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:34.940
 that we are

00:23:34.940 --> 00:23:36.060
 sinners saved

00:23:36.060 --> 00:23:36.680
 by grace

00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:37.120
 alone

00:23:37.120 --> 00:23:38.600
 we will both

00:23:38.600 --> 00:23:39.460
 be open

00:23:39.460 --> 00:23:40.259
 and generous

00:23:40.259 --> 00:23:40.759
 to the

00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:41.320
 outcast

00:23:41.320 --> 00:23:42.160
 the unlovely

00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:43.400
 and even

00:23:43.400 --> 00:23:44.640
 even

00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:46.000
 our enemy

00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:49.500
 so it's a

00:23:49.500 --> 00:23:50.040
 little ironic

00:23:50.040 --> 00:23:50.519
 for me

00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:51.519
 that our

00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:52.440
 secular society

00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:53.600
 is in

00:23:53.600 --> 00:23:54.440
 many ways

00:23:54.440 --> 00:23:56.280
 more committed

00:23:56.280 --> 00:23:57.840
 to social

00:23:57.840 --> 00:23:58.460
 justice

00:23:58.460 --> 00:23:59.340
 universal

00:23:59.340 --> 00:24:00.040
 benevolence

00:24:00.040 --> 00:24:01.080
 and human

00:24:01.080 --> 00:24:01.640
 rights than

00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:02.440
 any other

00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:03.240
 civilisation

00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:03.700
 has ever

00:24:03.700 --> 00:24:04.019
 been

00:24:04.019 --> 00:24:06.800
 things like

00:24:06.800 --> 00:24:07.500
 suffering and

00:24:07.500 --> 00:24:07.940
 death through

00:24:07.940 --> 00:24:08.300
 famine

00:24:08.300 --> 00:24:09.480
 flood

00:24:09.480 --> 00:24:10.060
 earthquake

00:24:10.059 --> 00:24:10.599
 pestilence

00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:11.019
 war

00:24:11.019 --> 00:24:12.779
 can awaken

00:24:12.779 --> 00:24:15.139
 wide

00:24:15.139 --> 00:24:15.759
 movements

00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:16.559
 of sympathy

00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:17.319
 and practical

00:24:17.319 --> 00:24:18.119
 solidarity

00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:19.279
 in ways

00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:19.559
 that have

00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:20.139
 never been

00:24:20.139 --> 00:24:20.779
 known before

00:24:20.779 --> 00:24:21.240
 in the history

00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:21.839
 of humanity

00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:24.759
 it's a little

00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:25.480
 ironic for me

00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:26.099
 because

00:24:26.099 --> 00:24:27.959
 secularism

00:24:27.959 --> 00:24:30.059
 has its

00:24:30.059 --> 00:24:30.720
 foundation

00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:32.399
 in theories

00:24:32.399 --> 00:24:33.339
 like evolution

00:24:33.339 --> 00:24:35.459
 which is

00:24:35.459 --> 00:24:36.859
 by and large

00:24:36.859 --> 00:24:37.699
 things like

00:24:37.699 --> 00:24:38.240
 the survival

00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:38.879
 of the fittest

00:24:38.879 --> 00:24:40.519
 and

00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:42.559
 and also

00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:43.159
 the purposes

00:24:43.159 --> 00:24:44.339
 of life

00:24:44.339 --> 00:24:47.779
 and so

00:24:47.779 --> 00:24:48.199
 technically

00:24:48.199 --> 00:24:48.839
 for the true

00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:49.419
 secularist

00:24:49.419 --> 00:24:50.039
 human life

00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:50.420
 should be

00:24:50.420 --> 00:24:50.779
 cheap

00:24:50.779 --> 00:24:53.039
 individuals

00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:53.740
 count for

00:24:53.740 --> 00:24:54.000
 little

00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:56.000
 and that

00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:56.980
 is represented

00:24:56.980 --> 00:24:57.759
 in vast

00:24:57.759 --> 00:24:58.259
 slabs

00:24:58.259 --> 00:24:58.720
 of our

00:24:58.720 --> 00:24:59.180
 world

00:24:59.180 --> 00:25:01.420
 human life

00:25:01.420 --> 00:25:01.879
 is cheap

00:25:01.879 --> 00:25:02.339
 individuals

00:25:02.339 --> 00:25:02.920
 count for

00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:03.139
 little

00:25:03.139 --> 00:25:04.819
 it's simply

00:25:04.819 --> 00:25:05.379
 survival of

00:25:05.379 --> 00:25:05.759
 the fittest

00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:07.420
 and if I

00:25:07.420 --> 00:25:08.299
 live and you

00:25:08.299 --> 00:25:08.680
 die

00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:09.240
 that means

00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:09.740
 my genes

00:25:09.740 --> 00:25:10.099
 are stronger

00:25:10.099 --> 00:25:10.680
 than yours

00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:12.279
 that means

00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:13.079
 not these

00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:14.200
 my genes

00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:14.720
 you know

00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:15.720
 we want me

00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:16.019
 to keep

00:25:16.019 --> 00:25:16.759
 producing people

00:25:16.759 --> 00:25:21.799
 now I think

00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:22.240
 the Christians

00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:22.539
 should be

00:25:22.539 --> 00:25:22.960
 grateful

00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:24.079
 that this

00:25:24.079 --> 00:25:24.599
 is not

00:25:24.599 --> 00:25:25.160
 broadly the

00:25:25.160 --> 00:25:25.660
 case in

00:25:25.660 --> 00:25:26.039
 the secular

00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:26.480
 west

00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:27.799
 that

00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:29.019
 we're not

00:25:29.019 --> 00:25:29.680
 handed over

00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:30.779
 to the

00:25:30.779 --> 00:25:31.420
 extremes

00:25:31.420 --> 00:25:31.819
 of the

00:25:31.819 --> 00:25:32.460
 secularist

00:25:32.460 --> 00:25:33.440
 theories

00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:33.819
 I mean

00:25:33.819 --> 00:25:34.180
 certainly

00:25:34.180 --> 00:25:34.799
 in large

00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:35.140
 slabs

00:25:35.140 --> 00:25:35.440
 of

00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:36.539
 you know

00:25:36.539 --> 00:25:37.000
 the communist

00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:37.379
 world

00:25:37.379 --> 00:25:37.799
 that has

00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:38.160
 been the

00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:38.619
 case

00:25:38.619 --> 00:25:41.159
 so what

00:25:41.159 --> 00:25:41.879
 motivation

00:25:41.879 --> 00:25:42.319
 could there

00:25:42.319 --> 00:25:42.739
 be for

00:25:42.739 --> 00:25:43.500
 secular love

00:25:43.500 --> 00:25:44.179
 and mercy

00:25:44.179 --> 00:25:44.859
 and this

00:25:44.859 --> 00:25:45.419
 question

00:25:45.419 --> 00:25:45.899
 dumb

00:25:45.899 --> 00:25:46.739
 founds

00:25:46.739 --> 00:25:47.219
 philosophers

00:25:47.219 --> 00:25:49.379
 because there

00:25:49.379 --> 00:25:49.879
 appears to be

00:25:49.879 --> 00:25:50.399
 no motive

00:25:50.399 --> 00:25:50.759
 for it

00:25:50.759 --> 00:25:51.239
 whatsoever

00:25:51.239 --> 00:25:55.779
 one motive

00:25:55.779 --> 00:25:57.759
 and I want

00:25:57.759 --> 00:25:58.059
 to suggest

00:25:58.059 --> 00:25:59.119
 this applies

00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:00.199
 to religious

00:26:00.199 --> 00:26:00.779
 people as

00:26:00.779 --> 00:26:01.039
 well

00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:03.579
 one motive

00:26:03.579 --> 00:26:04.959
 philosophers

00:26:04.959 --> 00:26:05.759
 are suggesting

00:26:05.759 --> 00:26:06.099
 and these are

00:26:06.099 --> 00:26:06.479
 non-Christian

00:26:06.479 --> 00:26:06.879
 philosophers

00:26:06.879 --> 00:26:07.459
 suggesting

00:26:07.460 --> 00:26:08.740
 is the feeling

00:26:08.740 --> 00:26:09.620
 of superiority

00:26:09.620 --> 00:26:12.200
 us secular

00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:12.720
 people

00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:13.819
 have done

00:26:13.819 --> 00:26:14.259
 what other

00:26:14.259 --> 00:26:14.640
 people are

00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:15.059
 not able

00:26:15.059 --> 00:26:15.380
 to do

00:26:15.380 --> 00:26:15.660
 and we've

00:26:15.660 --> 00:26:16.059
 abandoned

00:26:16.059 --> 00:26:16.440
 all that

00:26:16.440 --> 00:26:16.840
 religion

00:26:16.840 --> 00:26:17.299
 stuff

00:26:17.299 --> 00:26:17.559
 and we've

00:26:17.559 --> 00:26:17.819
 been able

00:26:17.819 --> 00:26:18.319
 to formulate

00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:19.220
 in our

00:26:19.220 --> 00:26:19.559
 own

00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:20.259
 human

00:26:20.259 --> 00:26:20.740
 wisdom

00:26:20.740 --> 00:26:21.539
 how to

00:26:21.539 --> 00:26:21.740
 run

00:26:21.740 --> 00:26:22.279
 the world

00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:23.840
 and so

00:26:23.840 --> 00:26:24.220
 we just

00:26:24.220 --> 00:26:24.620
 want to

00:26:24.620 --> 00:26:25.259
 help you

00:26:25.259 --> 00:26:25.600
 poor

00:26:25.600 --> 00:26:26.000
 religious

00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:26.480
 types

00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:26.819
 and you

00:26:26.819 --> 00:26:27.160
 backward

00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:27.740
 people

00:26:27.740 --> 00:26:28.600
 around the

00:26:28.600 --> 00:26:28.960
 world

00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:30.279
 to see

00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:30.840
 that we

00:26:30.840 --> 00:26:31.420
 have good

00:26:31.420 --> 00:26:31.920
 values

00:26:31.920 --> 00:26:32.380
 and you

00:26:32.380 --> 00:26:32.860
 really

00:26:32.860 --> 00:26:33.700
 need to

00:26:33.700 --> 00:26:34.039
 learn from

00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:34.380
 us

00:26:34.380 --> 00:26:34.900
 and so

00:26:34.900 --> 00:26:35.160
 it's a

00:26:35.160 --> 00:26:35.600
 big brother

00:26:35.600 --> 00:26:36.180
 little brother

00:26:36.180 --> 00:26:36.640
 sort of

00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:37.560
 patriarchal

00:26:37.560 --> 00:26:38.160
 kind of

00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:38.680
 come over

00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:39.140
 the top

00:26:39.140 --> 00:26:39.900
 and let

00:26:39.900 --> 00:26:40.220
 me just

00:26:40.220 --> 00:26:40.520
 show you

00:26:40.520 --> 00:26:40.780
 how to

00:26:40.780 --> 00:26:41.380
 live life

00:26:41.380 --> 00:26:42.340
 that's

00:26:42.340 --> 00:26:42.860
 one way

00:26:42.860 --> 00:26:43.400
 that philosophers

00:26:43.400 --> 00:26:43.759
 say

00:26:43.759 --> 00:26:44.380
 that is

00:26:44.380 --> 00:26:44.900
 what it

00:26:44.900 --> 00:26:45.480
 does is

00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:46.160
 it pumps

00:26:46.160 --> 00:26:46.540
 up our

00:26:46.540 --> 00:26:46.920
 fragile

00:26:46.920 --> 00:26:47.380
 egos

00:26:47.380 --> 00:26:47.640
 that's

00:26:47.640 --> 00:26:48.140
 one reason

00:26:48.140 --> 00:26:48.600
 why

00:26:48.600 --> 00:26:49.360
 we want

00:26:49.360 --> 00:26:49.460
 to

00:26:49.460 --> 00:26:50.360
 love

00:26:50.360 --> 00:26:50.759
 people

00:26:50.759 --> 00:26:51.660
 and I

00:26:51.660 --> 00:26:51.840
 think

00:26:51.840 --> 00:26:52.040
 that

00:26:52.040 --> 00:26:52.460
 applies

00:26:52.460 --> 00:26:52.600
 to

00:26:52.600 --> 00:26:52.660
 the

00:26:52.660 --> 00:26:52.900
 religious

00:26:52.900 --> 00:26:53.300
 person

00:26:53.300 --> 00:26:53.440
 who

00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:53.759
 believes

00:26:53.759 --> 00:26:53.940
 that

00:26:53.940 --> 00:26:54.160
 God

00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:54.300
 will

00:26:54.300 --> 00:26:54.580
 favour

00:26:54.580 --> 00:26:54.720
 them

00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:54.980
 because

00:26:54.980 --> 00:26:55.120
 of

00:26:55.120 --> 00:26:55.280
 their

00:26:55.280 --> 00:26:55.940
 morality

00:26:55.940 --> 00:26:56.240
 and

00:26:56.240 --> 00:26:56.460
 because

00:26:56.460 --> 00:26:56.580
 of

00:26:56.580 --> 00:26:56.680
 their

00:26:56.680 --> 00:26:57.480
 respectability

00:26:57.480 --> 00:26:59.380
 ultimately

00:26:59.380 --> 00:27:00.000
 you push

00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:00.360
 deep

00:27:00.360 --> 00:27:00.600
 deep

00:27:00.600 --> 00:27:00.860
 deep

00:27:00.860 --> 00:27:01.160
 down

00:27:01.160 --> 00:27:02.759
 and

00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:03.259
 those

00:27:03.259 --> 00:27:03.500
 kind

00:27:03.500 --> 00:27:03.780
 of people

00:27:03.780 --> 00:27:04.040
 who have

00:27:04.040 --> 00:27:04.360
 that as

00:27:04.360 --> 00:27:04.520
 their

00:27:04.520 --> 00:27:04.920
 motive

00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:07.340
 have a

00:27:07.340 --> 00:27:07.920
 contempt

00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:08.860
 for the

00:27:08.860 --> 00:27:09.320
 outcast

00:27:09.320 --> 00:27:09.540
 of the

00:27:09.540 --> 00:27:10.080
 unlovely

00:27:10.080 --> 00:27:10.700
 and certainly

00:27:10.700 --> 00:27:11.000
 for their

00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:11.340
 enemies

00:27:11.340 --> 00:27:13.340
 they say

00:27:13.340 --> 00:27:13.820
 things like

00:27:13.820 --> 00:27:14.259
 I've worked

00:27:14.259 --> 00:27:14.880
 really hard

00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:15.280
 to get to

00:27:15.280 --> 00:27:15.580
 where I

00:27:15.580 --> 00:27:15.820
 am

00:27:15.820 --> 00:27:16.840
 and frankly

00:27:16.840 --> 00:27:17.300
 those people

00:27:17.300 --> 00:27:17.540
 can do

00:27:17.540 --> 00:27:18.060
 exactly the

00:27:18.060 --> 00:27:18.340
 same

00:27:18.340 --> 00:27:20.100
 that's the

00:27:20.100 --> 00:27:20.500
 language of

00:27:20.500 --> 00:27:21.020
 the moralist

00:27:21.020 --> 00:27:21.340
 that's the

00:27:21.340 --> 00:27:21.720
 language of

00:27:21.720 --> 00:27:22.360
 the legalist

00:27:22.360 --> 00:27:24.040
 another

00:27:24.040 --> 00:27:24.960
 motive

00:27:24.960 --> 00:27:26.960
 to act

00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:27.480
 in mercy

00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:28.140
 is the

00:27:28.140 --> 00:27:28.820
 exact opposite

00:27:28.820 --> 00:27:29.300
 of that

00:27:29.300 --> 00:27:31.620
 according to

00:27:31.620 --> 00:27:32.140
 the philosophers

00:27:32.140 --> 00:27:32.800
 and that is

00:27:32.800 --> 00:27:33.620
 that it is

00:27:33.620 --> 00:27:34.720
 a simple

00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:35.320
 anger

00:27:35.320 --> 00:27:35.780
 over

00:27:35.780 --> 00:27:36.320
 injustice

00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:37.259
 in the

00:27:37.259 --> 00:27:37.559
 world

00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:40.579
 and these

00:27:40.579 --> 00:27:41.019
 people

00:27:41.019 --> 00:27:42.319
 who are

00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:42.919
 keen

00:27:42.919 --> 00:27:43.519
 for

00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:44.220
 injustices

00:27:44.220 --> 00:27:44.519
 to be

00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:45.119
 resolved

00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:46.099
 are moved

00:27:46.099 --> 00:27:46.619
 by a

00:27:46.619 --> 00:27:46.980
 burning

00:27:46.980 --> 00:27:47.939
 indignation

00:27:47.939 --> 00:27:48.259
 against

00:27:48.259 --> 00:27:48.779
 racism

00:27:48.779 --> 00:27:49.319
 and oppression

00:27:49.319 --> 00:27:49.879
 and sexism

00:27:49.879 --> 00:27:50.319
 good things

00:27:50.319 --> 00:27:50.720
 to get rid

00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:50.939
 of

00:27:50.939 --> 00:27:51.480
 don't

00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:51.619
 don't

00:27:51.619 --> 00:27:51.819
 hear me

00:27:51.819 --> 00:27:52.059
 wrong

00:27:52.059 --> 00:27:53.779
 and what

00:27:53.779 --> 00:27:54.319
 ultimately

00:27:54.319 --> 00:27:54.779
 does

00:27:54.779 --> 00:27:55.500
 it means

00:27:55.500 --> 00:27:55.899
 is that

00:27:55.899 --> 00:27:56.740
 they inevitably

00:27:56.740 --> 00:27:58.119
 it inevitably

00:27:58.119 --> 00:27:59.319
 requires them

00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:00.579
 to demonize

00:28:00.579 --> 00:28:01.139
 someone

00:28:01.139 --> 00:28:02.299
 in order to

00:28:02.299 --> 00:28:02.779
 help someone

00:28:02.779 --> 00:28:03.179
 else

00:28:03.179 --> 00:28:04.159
 they have

00:28:04.159 --> 00:28:04.480
 to do

00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:04.799
 that

00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:05.419
 they have

00:28:05.419 --> 00:28:06.200
 to demonize

00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:06.559
 someone

00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:07.059
 in order

00:28:07.059 --> 00:28:07.379
 to help

00:28:07.379 --> 00:28:07.599
 someone

00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:07.759
 else

00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:08.059
 in other

00:28:08.059 --> 00:28:08.399
 words

00:28:08.399 --> 00:28:09.500
 one of

00:28:09.500 --> 00:28:09.819
 their

00:28:09.819 --> 00:28:10.519
 neighbors

00:28:10.519 --> 00:28:11.759
 they have

00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:12.339
 to hate

00:28:12.339 --> 00:28:12.859
 in order

00:28:12.859 --> 00:28:13.480
 to love

00:28:13.480 --> 00:28:14.059
 another

00:28:14.059 --> 00:28:14.619
 neighbor

00:28:14.619 --> 00:28:16.460
 you have

00:28:16.460 --> 00:28:16.759
 to do

00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:17.079
 that

00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:20.899
 and

00:28:20.899 --> 00:28:21.839
 as

00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:23.960
 Friedrich

00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:24.240
 Nietzsche

00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:24.519
 said

00:28:24.519 --> 00:28:24.779
 who was

00:28:24.779 --> 00:28:25.259
 no friend

00:28:25.259 --> 00:28:25.700
 to Christianity

00:28:25.700 --> 00:28:26.119
 whatsoever

00:28:26.119 --> 00:28:27.379
 he says

00:28:27.379 --> 00:28:28.079
 strangely

00:28:28.079 --> 00:28:29.639
 these acts

00:28:29.639 --> 00:28:30.399
 of benevolence

00:28:30.399 --> 00:28:31.039
 and mercy

00:28:31.039 --> 00:28:31.839
 are really

00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:32.539
 powered by

00:28:32.539 --> 00:28:33.099
 hatred

00:28:33.099 --> 00:28:33.879
 and contempt

00:28:33.879 --> 00:28:34.599
 for people

00:28:34.599 --> 00:28:37.539
 that is

00:28:37.539 --> 00:28:37.939
 you've got a

00:28:37.939 --> 00:28:38.500
 real hatred

00:28:38.500 --> 00:28:38.859
 and contempt

00:28:38.859 --> 00:28:39.199
 for this

00:28:39.199 --> 00:28:39.759
 dictator

00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:40.259
 or these

00:28:40.259 --> 00:28:40.679
 governments

00:28:40.679 --> 00:28:41.319
 or these

00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:43.019
 pharmaceutical

00:28:43.019 --> 00:28:43.619
 companies

00:28:43.619 --> 00:28:45.319
 or you

00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:45.639
 know

00:28:45.639 --> 00:28:47.419
 whatever

00:28:47.419 --> 00:28:49.379
 you hate

00:28:49.379 --> 00:28:49.779
 them

00:28:49.779 --> 00:28:50.299
 and you're

00:28:50.299 --> 00:28:50.539
 going to help

00:28:50.539 --> 00:28:50.939
 the people

00:28:50.939 --> 00:28:51.159
 who have

00:28:51.159 --> 00:28:51.479
 been treated

00:28:51.479 --> 00:28:52.019
 so badly

00:28:52.019 --> 00:28:52.500
 by them

00:28:52.500 --> 00:28:52.799
 people

00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:54.220
 he says

00:28:54.220 --> 00:28:54.500
 it's driven

00:28:54.500 --> 00:28:55.019
 by hatred

00:28:55.019 --> 00:28:55.700
 and contempt

00:28:55.700 --> 00:28:58.339
 Christians

00:28:58.339 --> 00:28:59.059
 motivation

00:28:59.059 --> 00:28:59.500
 for the

00:28:59.500 --> 00:29:00.039
 alleviation

00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:00.519
 of poverty

00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:01.159
 and equality

00:29:01.159 --> 00:29:01.639
 and just

00:29:01.639 --> 00:29:02.200
 and suffering

00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:03.159
 is the

00:29:03.159 --> 00:29:03.599
 extension

00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:03.879
 of the

00:29:03.879 --> 00:29:04.119
 radical

00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:04.359
 love

00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:04.779
 and mercy

00:29:04.779 --> 00:29:05.819
 of God

00:29:05.819 --> 00:29:06.740
 that we

00:29:06.740 --> 00:29:07.399
 have received

00:29:07.399 --> 00:29:08.339
 I am

00:29:08.339 --> 00:29:08.799
 only

00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:09.480
 where I

00:29:09.480 --> 00:29:09.899
 am

00:29:09.899 --> 00:29:10.579
 by the

00:29:10.579 --> 00:29:10.799
 sheer

00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:11.379
 and unmerited

00:29:11.379 --> 00:29:11.799
 mercy

00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:12.440
 of God

00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:12.919
 I am

00:29:12.919 --> 00:29:13.940
 completely

00:29:13.940 --> 00:29:14.480
 equal

00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:15.700
 with all

00:29:15.700 --> 00:29:16.460
 other people

00:29:16.460 --> 00:29:16.859
 that is

00:29:16.859 --> 00:29:17.379
 the language

00:29:17.379 --> 00:29:17.919
 of the

00:29:17.919 --> 00:29:18.339
 person

00:29:18.339 --> 00:29:19.079
 who has

00:29:19.079 --> 00:29:19.519
 grasped

00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:20.119
 and experienced

00:29:20.119 --> 00:29:20.579
 the grace

00:29:20.579 --> 00:29:21.000
 and mercy

00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:21.480
 of God

00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:23.740
 God's

00:29:23.740 --> 00:29:24.059
 love

00:29:24.059 --> 00:29:24.620
 motivates

00:29:24.620 --> 00:29:25.360
 our love

00:29:25.360 --> 00:29:28.120
 by doing

00:29:28.120 --> 00:29:28.839
 the exact

00:29:28.839 --> 00:29:29.420
 opposite

00:29:29.420 --> 00:29:31.460
 of the

00:29:31.460 --> 00:29:31.720
 secular

00:29:31.720 --> 00:29:32.140
 motive

00:29:32.140 --> 00:29:32.599
 and that

00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:32.839
 is

00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:33.140
 it

00:29:33.140 --> 00:29:33.559
 actually

00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:34.460
 humbles

00:29:34.460 --> 00:29:34.920
 us

00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:36.299
 that's

00:29:36.299 --> 00:29:36.519
 what it

00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:36.860
 does

00:29:36.860 --> 00:29:38.000
 God's

00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:38.420
 grace

00:29:38.420 --> 00:29:39.220
 actually

00:29:39.220 --> 00:29:40.240
 humbles

00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:40.819
 us

00:29:40.819 --> 00:29:44.900
 showing

00:29:44.900 --> 00:29:45.240
 us

00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:45.579
 that we

00:29:45.579 --> 00:29:45.900
 are in

00:29:45.900 --> 00:29:46.120
 fact

00:29:46.120 --> 00:29:46.519
 loved

00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:47.000
 sinners

00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:48.299
 so that

00:29:48.299 --> 00:29:48.799
 spending

00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:49.339
 ourselves

00:29:49.339 --> 00:29:50.140
 for others

00:29:50.140 --> 00:29:51.160
 is not

00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:51.700
 based on

00:29:51.700 --> 00:29:52.100
 a sense

00:29:52.100 --> 00:29:52.240
 of

00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:52.680
 superiority

00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:53.940
 it's

00:29:53.940 --> 00:29:54.180
 not

00:29:54.180 --> 00:29:54.560
 based

00:29:54.560 --> 00:29:54.880
 on

00:29:54.880 --> 00:29:55.240
 hating

00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:55.779
 certain

00:29:55.779 --> 00:29:56.300
 people

00:29:56.300 --> 00:29:56.600
 because

00:29:56.600 --> 00:29:56.820
 we're

00:29:56.820 --> 00:29:57.100
 commanded

00:29:57.100 --> 00:29:57.500
 to love

00:29:57.500 --> 00:29:57.680
 all

00:29:57.680 --> 00:29:58.100
 people

00:29:58.100 --> 00:30:00.920
 but it's

00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:01.500
 based on

00:30:01.500 --> 00:30:01.740
 God

00:30:01.740 --> 00:30:02.400
 showing us

00:30:02.400 --> 00:30:02.900
 our

00:30:02.900 --> 00:30:03.779
 lack

00:30:03.779 --> 00:30:05.519
 our

00:30:05.519 --> 00:30:06.120
 need

00:30:06.120 --> 00:30:07.460
 Christians

00:30:07.460 --> 00:30:08.200
 know that

00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:09.040
 all things

00:30:09.040 --> 00:30:09.460
 wrong

00:30:09.460 --> 00:30:09.920
 will be put

00:30:09.920 --> 00:30:10.220
 right

00:30:10.220 --> 00:30:10.540
 this is

00:30:10.540 --> 00:30:10.779
 another

00:30:10.779 --> 00:30:11.200
 powerful

00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:11.660
 motive

00:30:11.660 --> 00:30:12.360
 all things

00:30:12.360 --> 00:30:12.640
 wrong

00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:13.040
 will be put

00:30:13.040 --> 00:30:13.259
 right

00:30:13.259 --> 00:30:13.900
 by Jesus

00:30:13.900 --> 00:30:15.380
 it's

00:30:15.380 --> 00:30:15.480
 an

00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:16.180
 impowerful

00:30:16.180 --> 00:30:16.519
 incentive

00:30:16.519 --> 00:30:17.340
 to love

00:30:17.340 --> 00:30:17.820
 even

00:30:17.820 --> 00:30:18.160
 our

00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:18.680
 enemy

00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:22.540
 that is

00:30:22.540 --> 00:30:22.980
 what the

00:30:22.980 --> 00:30:23.720
 secularist

00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:24.280
 that is

00:30:24.280 --> 00:30:24.580
 what the

00:30:24.580 --> 00:30:25.180
 legalist

00:30:25.180 --> 00:30:25.620
 that's

00:30:25.620 --> 00:30:25.900
 what the

00:30:25.900 --> 00:30:26.400
 moralist

00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:26.600
 there's

00:30:26.600 --> 00:30:27.300
 good things

00:30:27.300 --> 00:30:27.640
 that they

00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:28.160
 will do

00:30:28.160 --> 00:30:29.360
 and I

00:30:29.360 --> 00:30:30.140
 praise God

00:30:30.140 --> 00:30:30.420
 for the

00:30:30.420 --> 00:30:30.860
 good things

00:30:30.860 --> 00:30:31.200
 that they

00:30:31.200 --> 00:30:31.540
 do

00:30:31.540 --> 00:30:31.880
 do

00:30:31.880 --> 00:30:35.180
 they

00:30:35.180 --> 00:30:35.620
 cannot

00:30:35.620 --> 00:30:36.220
 give

00:30:36.220 --> 00:30:37.120
 their life

00:30:37.120 --> 00:30:37.840
 for their

00:30:37.840 --> 00:30:38.100
 enemy

00:30:38.100 --> 00:30:39.640
 that's

00:30:39.640 --> 00:30:39.940
 what they

00:30:39.940 --> 00:30:40.220
 cannot

00:30:40.220 --> 00:30:40.540
 do

00:30:40.539 --> 00:30:43.940
 but that's

00:30:43.940 --> 00:30:44.339
 what Jesus

00:30:44.339 --> 00:30:44.700
 done

00:30:44.700 --> 00:30:45.940
 and that's

00:30:45.940 --> 00:30:46.159
 what he

00:30:46.159 --> 00:30:46.599
 motivates

00:30:46.599 --> 00:30:47.519
 us to

00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:47.839
 do

00:30:47.839 --> 00:30:50.359
 you see

00:30:50.359 --> 00:30:50.680
 Christians

00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:51.079
 not only

00:30:51.079 --> 00:30:51.339
 have a

00:30:51.339 --> 00:30:51.500
 deeper

00:30:51.500 --> 00:30:52.119
 motivation

00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:52.539
 to love

00:30:52.539 --> 00:30:52.720
 their

00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:52.940
 neighbor

00:30:52.940 --> 00:30:53.240
 but they

00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:53.579
 also have

00:30:53.579 --> 00:30:53.859
 a much

00:30:53.859 --> 00:30:54.220
 stronger

00:30:54.220 --> 00:30:54.759
 hope

00:30:54.759 --> 00:30:55.259
 when they

00:30:55.259 --> 00:30:55.619
 do

00:30:55.619 --> 00:30:56.819
 that's

00:30:56.819 --> 00:30:57.180
 why you

00:30:57.180 --> 00:30:57.639
 can

00:30:57.639 --> 00:30:58.319
 give

00:30:58.319 --> 00:30:58.559
 your

00:30:58.559 --> 00:30:58.859
 life

00:30:58.859 --> 00:30:59.099
 blood

00:30:59.099 --> 00:30:59.440
 that's

00:30:59.440 --> 00:30:59.779
 why you

00:30:59.779 --> 00:31:00.119
 can

00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:00.420
 give

00:31:00.420 --> 00:31:00.599
 your

00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:00.899
 life

00:31:00.899 --> 00:31:01.159
 because

00:31:01.159 --> 00:31:01.319
 you

00:31:01.319 --> 00:31:01.440
 have

00:31:01.440 --> 00:31:01.579
 a

00:31:01.579 --> 00:31:01.879
 much

00:31:01.879 --> 00:31:02.879
 stronger

00:31:02.879 --> 00:31:03.539
 hope

00:31:03.539 --> 00:31:04.519
 and that

00:31:04.519 --> 00:31:05.099
 is

00:31:05.099 --> 00:31:06.220
 according

00:31:06.220 --> 00:31:06.579
 to this

00:31:06.579 --> 00:31:06.980
 Bible

00:31:06.980 --> 00:31:08.379
 this world

00:31:08.379 --> 00:31:08.859
 in the

00:31:08.859 --> 00:31:09.119
 end

00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:09.420
 will be

00:31:09.420 --> 00:31:09.799
 renewed

00:31:09.799 --> 00:31:10.440
 and

00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:10.880
 the promise

00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:11.279
 of the

00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:11.660
 resurrection

00:31:11.660 --> 00:31:12.240
 of Jesus

00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:12.680
 is that

00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:13.059
 we too

00:31:13.059 --> 00:31:13.240
 will be

00:31:13.240 --> 00:31:13.700
 raised

00:31:13.700 --> 00:31:14.380
 with him

00:31:14.380 --> 00:31:14.820
 with new

00:31:14.820 --> 00:31:15.440
 and perfect

00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:15.960
 bodies

00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:17.160
 all injustice

00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:18.080
 all suffering

00:31:18.080 --> 00:31:18.900
 all disease

00:31:18.900 --> 00:31:19.759
 all death

00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:20.700
 is going to be

00:31:20.700 --> 00:31:21.400
 wiped out

00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:23.220
 that's our

00:31:23.220 --> 00:31:23.559
 hope

00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:24.539
 that's why

00:31:24.539 --> 00:31:25.660
 we can expel

00:31:25.660 --> 00:31:26.180
 ourselves

00:31:26.180 --> 00:31:26.720
 for the sake

00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:27.180
 of others

00:31:27.180 --> 00:31:27.759
 because that

00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:28.259
 is our

00:31:28.259 --> 00:31:28.640
 hope

00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:30.080
 and so

00:31:30.080 --> 00:31:30.539
 that's why

00:31:30.539 --> 00:31:31.120
 Jesus

00:31:31.120 --> 00:31:33.240
 and Isaiah

00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:33.920
 and James

00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:34.759
 and John

00:31:34.759 --> 00:31:35.460
 and Paul

00:31:35.460 --> 00:31:36.519
 use this

00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:37.460
 ministry of

00:31:37.460 --> 00:31:37.840
 mercy

00:31:37.840 --> 00:31:38.440
 of love

00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:38.779
 for your

00:31:38.779 --> 00:31:39.160
 neighbor

00:31:39.160 --> 00:31:40.299
 as the

00:31:40.299 --> 00:31:41.539
 test case

00:31:41.539 --> 00:31:42.099
 as to

00:31:42.099 --> 00:31:42.460
 whether

00:31:42.460 --> 00:31:42.980
 a test

00:31:42.980 --> 00:31:43.180
 case

00:31:43.180 --> 00:31:43.500
 between

00:31:43.500 --> 00:31:44.079
 what is

00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:44.519
 true

00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:45.279
 and false

00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:45.859
 Christianity

00:31:45.859 --> 00:31:47.139
 you see

00:31:47.139 --> 00:31:47.980
 a sensitive

00:31:47.980 --> 00:31:48.639
 social

00:31:48.639 --> 00:31:49.279
 conscience

00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:50.059
 and a

00:31:50.059 --> 00:31:50.539
 love

00:31:50.539 --> 00:31:51.559
 a life

00:31:51.559 --> 00:31:52.180
 poured out

00:31:52.180 --> 00:31:52.619
 in deeds

00:31:52.619 --> 00:31:53.039
 of mercy

00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:53.399
 to the

00:31:53.399 --> 00:31:53.740
 needy

00:31:53.740 --> 00:31:54.059
 is an

00:31:54.059 --> 00:31:54.379
 inevitable

00:31:54.379 --> 00:31:54.940
 sign

00:31:54.940 --> 00:31:55.440
 of a

00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:55.819
 person

00:31:55.819 --> 00:31:56.399
 who has

00:31:56.399 --> 00:31:57.059
 grasped

00:31:57.059 --> 00:31:57.779
 the grace

00:31:57.779 --> 00:31:58.460
 of God

00:31:58.460 --> 00:31:59.539
 a heart

00:31:59.539 --> 00:31:59.819
 for the

00:31:59.819 --> 00:32:00.019
 poor

00:32:00.019 --> 00:32:00.659
 the needy

00:32:00.659 --> 00:32:01.619
 I believe

00:32:01.619 --> 00:32:02.200
 lays

00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:02.779
 dormant

00:32:02.779 --> 00:32:03.559
 in every

00:32:03.559 --> 00:32:03.960
 true

00:32:03.960 --> 00:32:04.480
 Christian

00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:06.180
 until

00:32:06.180 --> 00:32:06.480
 someone

00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:06.779
 comes

00:32:06.779 --> 00:32:07.279
 along

00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:08.640
 and

00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:09.120
 preaches

00:32:09.120 --> 00:32:10.140
 on the

00:32:10.140 --> 00:32:10.640
 connection

00:32:10.640 --> 00:32:11.140
 between

00:32:11.140 --> 00:32:11.620
 God's

00:32:11.620 --> 00:32:12.079
 mercy

00:32:12.079 --> 00:32:13.400
 and the

00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:13.720
 mercy

00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:14.180
 that he

00:32:14.180 --> 00:32:14.519
 motivates

00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:15.000
 us to

00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:15.279
 give to

00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:15.460
 all

00:32:15.460 --> 00:32:15.799
 people

00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:17.660
 if you

00:32:17.660 --> 00:32:18.099
 like

00:32:18.099 --> 00:32:19.660
 a message

00:32:19.660 --> 00:32:19.900
 like

00:32:19.900 --> 00:32:20.319
 tonight

00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:20.559
 and the

00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:20.779
 message

00:32:20.779 --> 00:32:21.019
 you've been

00:32:21.019 --> 00:32:21.440
 hearing

00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:22.360
 last couple

00:32:22.360 --> 00:32:22.680
 of weeks

00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:23.240
 pushes a

00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:23.579
 button

00:32:23.579 --> 00:32:24.759
 deep in

00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:25.319
 your soul

00:32:25.319 --> 00:32:26.160
 that begins

00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:26.839
 the process

00:32:26.839 --> 00:32:27.299
 of waking

00:32:27.299 --> 00:32:27.740
 us up

00:32:27.740 --> 00:32:28.059
 to a

00:32:28.059 --> 00:32:28.380
 fuller

00:32:28.380 --> 00:32:28.700
 grasp

00:32:28.700 --> 00:32:29.160
 of God's

00:32:29.160 --> 00:32:29.559
 grace

00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:31.039
 and the

00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:31.539
 outworking

00:32:31.539 --> 00:32:31.900
 of it

00:32:31.900 --> 00:32:32.279
 in our

00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:32.759
 lives

00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:36.100
 now in

00:32:36.100 --> 00:32:36.420
 case that

00:32:36.420 --> 00:32:36.700
 button

00:32:36.700 --> 00:32:37.160
 hasn't been

00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:37.580
 pushed for

00:32:37.580 --> 00:32:37.860
 you

00:32:37.860 --> 00:32:39.680
 let me

00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:40.100
 give you

00:32:40.100 --> 00:32:41.380
 another

00:32:41.380 --> 00:32:42.019
 example of

00:32:42.019 --> 00:32:42.400
 this kind

00:32:42.400 --> 00:32:42.920
 of preaching

00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:44.580
 Scottish

00:32:44.580 --> 00:32:45.299
 minister

00:32:45.299 --> 00:32:45.600
 Robert

00:32:45.600 --> 00:32:45.860
 Murray

00:32:45.860 --> 00:32:46.299
 Mishane

00:32:46.299 --> 00:32:46.759
 preached

00:32:46.759 --> 00:32:47.279
 this

00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:47.920
 to

00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:48.400
 Scottish

00:32:48.400 --> 00:32:48.819
 Christians

00:32:48.819 --> 00:32:49.299
 living in

00:32:49.299 --> 00:32:49.580
 Scottish

00:32:49.580 --> 00:32:49.960
 cities

00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:50.860
 in

00:32:50.860 --> 00:32:51.819
 1838

00:32:51.819 --> 00:32:54.240
 he said

00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:54.740
 I fear

00:32:54.740 --> 00:32:55.059
 that there

00:32:55.059 --> 00:32:55.319
 are some

00:32:55.319 --> 00:32:55.680
 Christians

00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:56.380
 among you

00:32:56.380 --> 00:32:57.259
 to whom

00:32:57.259 --> 00:32:57.620
 Christ

00:32:57.620 --> 00:32:58.059
 will not

00:32:58.059 --> 00:32:58.380
 be able

00:32:58.380 --> 00:32:58.700
 to say

00:32:58.700 --> 00:32:58.900
 in the

00:32:58.900 --> 00:32:59.140
 last

00:32:59.140 --> 00:32:59.340
 day

00:32:59.340 --> 00:32:59.580
 well

00:32:59.580 --> 00:32:59.880
 done

00:32:59.880 --> 00:33:00.100
 good

00:33:00.100 --> 00:33:00.260
 and

00:33:00.260 --> 00:33:00.540
 faithful

00:33:00.540 --> 00:33:00.920
 servant

00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:01.120
 he's

00:33:01.120 --> 00:33:01.380
 referring

00:33:01.380 --> 00:33:01.640
 to

00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:02.000
 Matthew

00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:02.580
 25

00:33:02.580 --> 00:33:06.120
 he says

00:33:06.120 --> 00:33:06.280
 your

00:33:06.280 --> 00:33:06.700
 hardy

00:33:06.700 --> 00:33:07.260
 dwellings

00:33:07.260 --> 00:33:08.200
 referring

00:33:08.200 --> 00:33:08.600
 to your

00:33:08.600 --> 00:33:08.940
 nice

00:33:08.940 --> 00:33:09.440
 houses

00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:10.080
 your

00:33:10.080 --> 00:33:10.460
 hardy

00:33:10.460 --> 00:33:10.860
 dwellings

00:33:10.860 --> 00:33:11.500
 rise

00:33:11.500 --> 00:33:11.940
 amongst

00:33:11.940 --> 00:33:12.920
 thousands

00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:13.440
 who have

00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:14.120
 scarcely

00:33:14.120 --> 00:33:14.600
 a fire

00:33:14.600 --> 00:33:15.020
 to warm

00:33:15.020 --> 00:33:15.460
 themselves

00:33:15.460 --> 00:33:15.840
 at

00:33:15.840 --> 00:33:17.360
 and have

00:33:17.360 --> 00:33:17.720
 but little

00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:18.200
 clothing

00:33:18.200 --> 00:33:18.640
 to put

00:33:18.640 --> 00:33:18.900
 out

00:33:18.900 --> 00:33:19.120
 the

00:33:19.120 --> 00:33:19.720
 bright

00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:20.360
 frost

00:33:20.360 --> 00:33:21.900
 and yet

00:33:21.900 --> 00:33:22.620
 you

00:33:22.620 --> 00:33:22.940
 don't

00:33:22.940 --> 00:33:23.360
 darken

00:33:23.360 --> 00:33:23.520
 their

00:33:23.520 --> 00:33:23.840
 door

00:33:23.840 --> 00:33:25.140
 you

00:33:25.140 --> 00:33:25.720
 heave

00:33:25.720 --> 00:33:26.140
 a sigh

00:33:26.140 --> 00:33:26.320
 of

00:33:26.320 --> 00:33:26.900
 relief

00:33:26.900 --> 00:33:28.380
 perhaps

00:33:28.380 --> 00:33:28.820
 sorry

00:33:28.820 --> 00:33:29.000
 not

00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:29.259
 relief

00:33:29.259 --> 00:33:29.400
 you

00:33:29.400 --> 00:33:29.580
 heave

00:33:29.580 --> 00:33:29.920
 a sigh

00:33:29.920 --> 00:33:30.420
 perhaps

00:33:30.420 --> 00:33:31.120
 at a

00:33:31.120 --> 00:33:31.680
 distance

00:33:31.680 --> 00:33:33.160
 but you

00:33:33.160 --> 00:33:33.560
 do not

00:33:33.560 --> 00:33:33.840
 visit

00:33:33.840 --> 00:33:34.220
 them

00:33:34.220 --> 00:33:36.500
 my

00:33:36.500 --> 00:33:36.780
 friends

00:33:36.780 --> 00:33:37.000
 I'm

00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:37.360
 concerned

00:33:37.360 --> 00:33:37.720
 for the

00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:38.040
 poor

00:33:38.040 --> 00:33:38.540
 but I'm

00:33:38.540 --> 00:33:39.040
 actually

00:33:39.040 --> 00:33:39.460
 more

00:33:39.460 --> 00:33:39.900
 concerned

00:33:39.900 --> 00:33:40.480
 for you

00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:42.019
 I don't

00:33:42.019 --> 00:33:42.400
 know

00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:42.900
 what

00:33:42.900 --> 00:33:43.200
 Christ

00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:43.519
 will say

00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:43.759
 to you

00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:44.040
 on that

00:33:44.040 --> 00:33:44.320
 great

00:33:44.320 --> 00:33:44.640
 day

00:33:44.640 --> 00:33:45.040
 you

00:33:45.040 --> 00:33:45.840
 say

00:33:45.840 --> 00:33:46.040
 you

00:33:46.040 --> 00:33:46.300
 follow

00:33:46.300 --> 00:33:46.740
 Christ

00:33:46.740 --> 00:33:46.980
 but you

00:33:46.980 --> 00:33:47.120
 don't

00:33:47.120 --> 00:33:47.300
 care

00:33:47.300 --> 00:33:47.440
 for

00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:47.600
 his

00:33:47.600 --> 00:33:48.000
 poor

00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:49.740
 I

00:33:49.740 --> 00:33:50.019
 fear

00:33:50.019 --> 00:33:50.240
 that

00:33:50.240 --> 00:33:50.980
 there

00:33:50.980 --> 00:33:51.180
 may

00:33:51.180 --> 00:33:51.279
 be

00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:51.519
 many

00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:51.859
 hearing

00:33:51.859 --> 00:33:52.140
 me

00:33:52.140 --> 00:33:52.359
 who

00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:52.700
 now

00:33:52.700 --> 00:33:53.000
 know

00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:53.480
 well

00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:53.720
 that

00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:53.920
 they

00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:54.119
 may

00:33:54.119 --> 00:33:54.299
 not

00:33:54.299 --> 00:33:54.480
 be

00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:54.799
 Christians

00:33:54.799 --> 00:33:54.980
 at

00:33:54.980 --> 00:33:55.140
 all

00:33:55.140 --> 00:33:55.420
 because

00:33:55.420 --> 00:33:55.880
 they

00:33:55.880 --> 00:33:56.180
 don't

00:33:56.180 --> 00:33:56.599
 love

00:33:56.599 --> 00:33:56.799
 to

00:33:56.799 --> 00:33:57.180
 give

00:33:57.180 --> 00:33:59.559
 now

00:33:59.559 --> 00:33:59.799
 dear

00:33:59.799 --> 00:34:00.299
 Christians

00:34:00.299 --> 00:34:00.859
 some

00:34:00.859 --> 00:34:01.200
 of you

00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:01.539
 pray

00:34:01.539 --> 00:34:01.960
 night

00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:02.400
 and day

00:34:02.400 --> 00:34:02.700
 to be

00:34:02.700 --> 00:34:03.059
 branches

00:34:03.059 --> 00:34:03.279
 of the

00:34:03.279 --> 00:34:03.460
 true

00:34:03.460 --> 00:34:03.740
 vine

00:34:03.740 --> 00:34:03.880
 you

00:34:03.880 --> 00:34:04.119
 pray

00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:04.380
 to be

00:34:04.380 --> 00:34:04.579
 made

00:34:04.579 --> 00:34:04.779
 all

00:34:04.779 --> 00:34:05.180
 over

00:34:05.180 --> 00:34:05.640
 in

00:34:05.640 --> 00:34:05.740
 the

00:34:05.740 --> 00:34:05.920
 image

00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:06.079
 of

00:34:06.079 --> 00:34:06.500
 Christ

00:34:06.500 --> 00:34:07.000
 if

00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:07.279
 so

00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:07.460
 you

00:34:07.460 --> 00:34:07.660
 must

00:34:07.660 --> 00:34:07.819
 be

00:34:07.819 --> 00:34:08.079
 like

00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:08.199
 him

00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:08.340
 in

00:34:08.340 --> 00:34:08.719
 giving

00:34:08.719 --> 00:34:09.619
 though

00:34:09.619 --> 00:34:09.860
 he

00:34:09.860 --> 00:34:10.039
 was

00:34:10.039 --> 00:34:10.320
 rich

00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:10.519
 yet

00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:10.659
 for

00:34:10.659 --> 00:34:10.940
 your

00:34:10.940 --> 00:34:11.179
 sakes

00:34:11.179 --> 00:34:11.320
 he

00:34:11.320 --> 00:34:11.659
 became

00:34:11.659 --> 00:34:12.119
 poor

00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:19.000
 answer

00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:20.559
 Christ

00:34:20.559 --> 00:34:20.779
 might

00:34:20.779 --> 00:34:20.880
 have

00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:21.039
 said

00:34:21.039 --> 00:34:21.239
 my

00:34:21.239 --> 00:34:21.519
 blood

00:34:21.519 --> 00:34:21.659
 is

00:34:21.659 --> 00:34:21.839
 my

00:34:21.839 --> 00:34:22.019
 own

00:34:22.019 --> 00:34:22.199
 my

00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:22.500
 life

00:34:22.500 --> 00:34:22.639
 is

00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:22.839
 my

00:34:22.839 --> 00:34:23.119
 own

00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:25.019
 another

00:34:25.019 --> 00:34:25.400
 person

00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:25.859
 objects

00:34:25.859 --> 00:34:26.980
 the

00:34:26.980 --> 00:34:27.400
 poor

00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:27.639
 are

00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:28.279
 undeserving

00:34:28.279 --> 00:34:29.880
 answer

00:34:29.880 --> 00:34:31.319
 Christ

00:34:31.319 --> 00:34:31.519
 might

00:34:31.519 --> 00:34:31.659
 have

00:34:31.659 --> 00:34:31.940
 said

00:34:31.940 --> 00:34:33.259
 frankly

00:34:33.259 --> 00:34:33.539
 they're

00:34:33.539 --> 00:34:33.719
 all

00:34:33.719 --> 00:34:33.940
 wicked

00:34:33.940 --> 00:34:34.400
 rebels

00:34:34.400 --> 00:34:35.940
 should

00:34:35.940 --> 00:34:36.139
 I

00:34:36.139 --> 00:34:36.420
 lay

00:34:36.420 --> 00:34:36.699
 down

00:34:36.699 --> 00:34:36.940
 my

00:34:36.940 --> 00:34:37.259
 life

00:34:37.259 --> 00:34:37.420
 for

00:34:37.420 --> 00:34:37.839
 these

00:34:37.839 --> 00:34:39.940
 no

00:34:39.940 --> 00:34:40.079
 that's

00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:40.159
 not

00:34:40.159 --> 00:34:40.259
 what

00:34:40.259 --> 00:34:40.319
 he

00:34:40.319 --> 00:34:40.539
 said

00:34:40.539 --> 00:34:41.779
 he

00:34:41.779 --> 00:34:42.079
 left

00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:42.239
 the

00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:42.619
 99

00:34:42.619 --> 00:34:43.059
 and

00:34:43.059 --> 00:34:43.279
 came

00:34:43.279 --> 00:34:43.559
 after

00:34:43.559 --> 00:34:43.759
 the

00:34:43.759 --> 00:34:44.019
 lost

00:34:44.019 --> 00:34:44.219
 he

00:34:44.219 --> 00:34:44.559
 gave

00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:44.779
 his

00:34:44.779 --> 00:34:45.119
 blood

00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:45.279
 for

00:34:45.279 --> 00:34:45.380
 the

00:34:45.380 --> 00:34:45.980
 undeserving

00:34:45.980 --> 00:34:47.460
 and yet

00:34:47.460 --> 00:34:47.800
 another

00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:48.320
 objects

00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:49.279
 the

00:34:49.279 --> 00:34:49.559
 poor

00:34:49.559 --> 00:34:49.800
 might

00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:50.199
 abuse

00:34:50.199 --> 00:34:50.420
 it

00:34:50.420 --> 00:34:51.440
 oh

00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:51.699
 man

00:34:51.699 --> 00:34:51.980
 I

00:34:51.980 --> 00:34:52.139
 mean

00:34:52.139 --> 00:34:52.759
 let me

00:34:52.759 --> 00:34:52.900
 just

00:34:52.900 --> 00:34:53.079
 pause

00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:53.239
 there

00:34:53.239 --> 00:34:53.679
 how many

00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:54.079
 times have I

00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:54.679
 ever heard

00:34:54.679 --> 00:34:54.880
 yourself

00:34:54.880 --> 00:34:55.340
 say that

00:34:55.340 --> 00:34:55.619
 if I give

00:34:55.619 --> 00:34:55.980
 this person

00:34:55.980 --> 00:34:56.219
 they're probably

00:34:56.219 --> 00:34:56.619
 going to go and buy

00:34:56.619 --> 00:34:57.099
 alcohol with

00:34:57.099 --> 00:34:57.719
 it

00:34:57.719 --> 00:35:02.400
 he says

00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:02.719
 the poor

00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:03.219
 might abuse

00:35:03.219 --> 00:35:03.360
 it

00:35:03.360 --> 00:35:03.659
 another

00:35:03.659 --> 00:35:04.179
 answer

00:35:04.179 --> 00:35:05.820
 Christ

00:35:05.820 --> 00:35:06.179
 might have

00:35:06.179 --> 00:35:06.519
 said the

00:35:06.519 --> 00:35:06.860
 same

00:35:06.860 --> 00:35:08.119
 yes

00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:09.579
 we far

00:35:09.579 --> 00:35:09.900
 greater

00:35:09.900 --> 00:35:10.440
 truth

00:35:10.440 --> 00:35:11.500
 Christ

00:35:11.500 --> 00:35:11.900
 knew that

00:35:11.900 --> 00:35:12.460
 thousands

00:35:12.460 --> 00:35:13.039
 would trample

00:35:13.039 --> 00:35:13.500
 his blood

00:35:13.500 --> 00:35:13.900
 under their

00:35:13.900 --> 00:35:14.139
 feet

00:35:14.139 --> 00:35:14.420
 that they

00:35:14.420 --> 00:35:15.200
 would despise

00:35:15.200 --> 00:35:15.380
 it

00:35:15.380 --> 00:35:15.940
 that they

00:35:15.940 --> 00:35:16.460
 would make

00:35:16.460 --> 00:35:17.260
 an excuse

00:35:17.260 --> 00:35:18.639
 for sinning

00:35:18.639 --> 00:35:19.599
 even more

00:35:19.599 --> 00:35:20.539
 and yet

00:35:20.539 --> 00:35:21.400
 he gave

00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:22.179
 his blood

00:35:22.179 --> 00:35:24.019
 oh my dear

00:35:24.019 --> 00:35:24.500
 Christians

00:35:24.500 --> 00:35:25.639
 if you would be

00:35:25.639 --> 00:35:26.320
 like Christ

00:35:26.320 --> 00:35:26.980
 give much

00:35:26.980 --> 00:35:27.539
 give often

00:35:27.539 --> 00:35:28.159
 give freely

00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:28.760
 to the

00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:29.079
 vile

00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:29.599
 the poor

00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:30.220
 the thankless

00:35:30.220 --> 00:35:30.500
 and the

00:35:30.500 --> 00:35:31.079
 undeserving

00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:31.940
 Christ

00:35:31.940 --> 00:35:32.980
 is glorious

00:35:32.980 --> 00:35:33.780
 and he is

00:35:33.780 --> 00:35:34.139
 happy

00:35:34.139 --> 00:35:34.780
 and so

00:35:34.780 --> 00:35:35.240
 will you

00:35:35.240 --> 00:35:35.559
 be

00:35:35.559 --> 00:35:36.340
 it is not

00:35:36.340 --> 00:35:36.800
 your money

00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:37.260
 I want

00:35:37.260 --> 00:35:37.659
 it's your

00:35:37.659 --> 00:35:38.200
 happiness

00:35:38.199 --> 00:35:40.000
 remember

00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:40.439
 his own

00:35:40.439 --> 00:35:40.919
 words

00:35:40.919 --> 00:35:42.299
 it is

00:35:42.299 --> 00:35:42.460
 more

00:35:42.460 --> 00:35:42.719
 blessed

00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:43.259
 to give

00:35:43.259 --> 00:35:44.399
 than to

00:35:44.399 --> 00:35:44.879
 receive

00:35:44.879 --> 00:35:47.480
 so

00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:48.319
 friends

00:35:48.319 --> 00:35:48.839
 is the

00:35:48.839 --> 00:35:49.239
 spirit

00:35:49.239 --> 00:35:49.980
 of God

00:35:49.980 --> 00:35:51.119
 waking you

00:35:51.119 --> 00:35:51.500
 up from

00:35:51.500 --> 00:35:51.839
 your deep

00:35:51.839 --> 00:35:52.219
 slumber

00:35:52.219 --> 00:35:54.039
 the power

00:35:54.039 --> 00:35:54.199
 of the

00:35:54.199 --> 00:35:54.319
 good

00:35:54.319 --> 00:35:54.759
 Samaritan

00:35:54.759 --> 00:35:55.339
 is the

00:35:55.339 --> 00:35:55.659
 pattern

00:35:55.659 --> 00:35:56.719
 of God's

00:35:56.719 --> 00:35:57.199
 mercy

00:35:57.199 --> 00:35:58.219
 and his

00:35:58.219 --> 00:35:58.599
 mercy

00:35:58.599 --> 00:35:59.139
 generates

00:35:59.139 --> 00:35:59.559
 a life

00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:00.179
 of mercy

00:36:00.179 --> 00:36:01.199
 and so

00:36:01.199 --> 00:36:01.719
 I urge

00:36:01.719 --> 00:36:01.980
 you

00:36:01.980 --> 00:36:03.559
 to lay

00:36:03.559 --> 00:36:03.879
 aside

00:36:03.879 --> 00:36:04.299
 any

00:36:04.299 --> 00:36:04.980
 remnant

00:36:04.980 --> 00:36:05.380
 of self

00:36:05.380 --> 00:36:05.639
 goodness

00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:05.960
 that you

00:36:05.960 --> 00:36:06.179
 think

00:36:06.179 --> 00:36:06.280
 you

00:36:06.280 --> 00:36:06.440
 might

00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:06.639
 still

00:36:06.639 --> 00:36:07.000
 have

00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:08.579
 to

00:36:08.579 --> 00:36:08.900
 admit

00:36:08.900 --> 00:36:09.119
 your

00:36:09.119 --> 00:36:09.539
 total

00:36:09.539 --> 00:36:10.099
 spiritual

00:36:10.099 --> 00:36:10.679
 bankruptcy

00:36:10.679 --> 00:36:11.940
 to drink

00:36:11.940 --> 00:36:12.420
 deeply

00:36:12.420 --> 00:36:12.920
 from his

00:36:12.920 --> 00:36:13.440
 infinite

00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:13.940
 grace

00:36:13.940 --> 00:36:14.519
 and mercy

00:36:14.519 --> 00:36:15.699
 and then

00:36:15.699 --> 00:36:16.059
 in deep

00:36:16.059 --> 00:36:16.460
 awareness

00:36:16.460 --> 00:36:17.300
 and appreciation

00:36:17.300 --> 00:36:17.840
 of what

00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:18.240
 you have

00:36:18.240 --> 00:36:18.800
 received

00:36:18.800 --> 00:36:19.800
 to live

00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:20.420
 a life

00:36:20.420 --> 00:36:21.019
 of grace

00:36:21.019 --> 00:36:21.760
 and mercy

00:36:21.760 --> 00:36:23.760
 I think

00:36:23.760 --> 00:36:24.159
 it's really

00:36:24.159 --> 00:36:24.619
 appropriate

00:36:24.619 --> 00:36:25.539
 that we

00:36:25.539 --> 00:36:25.900
 move

00:36:25.900 --> 00:36:26.480
 immediately

00:36:26.480 --> 00:36:26.960
 on to

00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:27.400
 the Lord's

00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:27.659
 Supper

00:36:27.659 --> 00:36:31.960
 and in

00:36:31.960 --> 00:36:32.519
 doing that

00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:32.899
 the first

00:36:32.899 --> 00:36:33.159
 thing I

00:36:33.159 --> 00:36:33.420
 want us

00:36:33.420 --> 00:36:33.899
 to do

00:36:33.899 --> 00:36:35.119
 is just

00:36:35.119 --> 00:36:35.859
 to pause

00:36:35.859 --> 00:36:37.940
 and to

00:36:37.940 --> 00:36:38.699
 confess

00:36:38.699 --> 00:36:40.179
 just to

00:36:40.179 --> 00:36:40.500
 just have

00:36:40.500 --> 00:36:41.139
 a think

00:36:41.139 --> 00:36:41.460
 is your

00:36:41.460 --> 00:36:41.940
 button being

00:36:41.940 --> 00:36:42.319
 pushed at

00:36:42.319 --> 00:36:42.799
 this point

00:36:42.799 --> 00:36:44.679
 is there a

00:36:44.679 --> 00:36:45.079
 connection

00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:45.619
 between

00:36:45.619 --> 00:36:46.059
 a life

00:36:46.059 --> 00:36:46.519
 of mercy

00:36:46.519 --> 00:36:47.079
 because of

00:36:47.079 --> 00:36:47.299
 mercy

00:36:47.299 --> 00:36:47.679
 that's been

00:36:47.679 --> 00:36:48.099
 shown to

00:36:48.099 --> 00:36:48.399
 you

00:36:48.399 --> 00:36:49.779
 because having

00:36:49.779 --> 00:36:50.899
 heard the

00:36:50.899 --> 00:36:51.460
 grace of

00:36:51.460 --> 00:36:51.879
 God we

00:36:51.879 --> 00:36:52.139
 get to

00:36:52.139 --> 00:36:52.719
 experience it

00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:53.039
 together

00:36:53.039 --> 00:36:54.019
 in these

00:36:54.019 --> 00:36:54.599
 elements

00:36:54.599 --> 00:36:55.000
 which are

00:36:55.000 --> 00:36:55.559
 a visceral

00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:56.659
 representation

00:36:56.659 --> 00:36:57.799
 of what we

00:36:57.799 --> 00:36:58.139
 have in

00:36:58.139 --> 00:36:58.579
 Christ

00:36:58.579 --> 00:37:00.500
 so let's

00:37:00.500 --> 00:37:01.119
 just pause

00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:02.019
 silence

00:37:02.019 --> 00:37:02.960
 and we're

00:37:02.960 --> 00:37:03.079
 going to

00:37:03.079 --> 00:37:03.500
 say together

00:37:03.500 --> 00:37:04.379
 a prayer

00:37:04.379 --> 00:37:04.799
 up on the

00:37:04.799 --> 00:37:05.139
 screen in

00:37:05.139 --> 00:37:05.440
 just a

00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:05.679
 moment

00:37:05.679 --> 00:37:06.539
 and then

00:37:06.539 --> 00:37:06.779
 I'm going

00:37:06.779 --> 00:37:07.179
 to lead

00:37:07.179 --> 00:37:07.460
 us into

00:37:07.460 --> 00:37:07.879
 the Lord's

00:37:07.879 --> 00:37:08.079
 Supper

00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:08.599
 and we're

00:37:08.599 --> 00:37:08.799
 going to

00:37:08.799 --> 00:37:09.480
 drink of

00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:09.920
 his grace

00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:10.299
 to us

00:37:10.299 --> 00:37:10.559
 and eat

00:37:10.559 --> 00:37:10.779
 of his

00:37:10.779 --> 00:37:11.000
 grace

00:37:11.000 --> 00:37:11.339
 to us

00:37:11.339 --> 00:37:12.000
 let's

00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:12.139
 just

00:37:12.139 --> 00:37:12.339
 pause

00:37:26.659 --> 00:37:30.940
 so

00:37:30.940 --> 00:37:31.279
 together

00:37:31.279 --> 00:37:31.599
 up on

00:37:31.599 --> 00:37:31.719
 the

00:37:31.719 --> 00:37:32.179
 screen

00:37:32.179 --> 00:37:37.719
 merciful

00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:38.259
 God

00:37:38.259 --> 00:37:38.719
 our

00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:39.000
 maker

00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:39.460
 and our

00:37:39.460 --> 00:37:39.859
 judge

00:37:39.859 --> 00:37:40.440
 we have

00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:40.719
 sinned
