WEBVTT

00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:05.299
 Father, we ask that you would gently but deeply pour out the Holy Spirit upon us,

00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:09.419
 pour out the Holy Spirit upon us who are gathered here in the Ottawa Little Theatre,

00:00:10.060 --> 00:00:14.320
 those gathered through YouTube Live.

00:00:15.099 --> 00:00:19.960
 And Father, for those who will maybe watch this service later in the week or in the weeks ahead,

00:00:20.500 --> 00:00:24.440
 we ask, Father, that the Holy Spirit will fall with might and power and deep conviction.

00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:32.240
 We, Lord, invite and give you permission to, without any qualifications or any conditions,

00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:39.480
 we invite and give you permission, Father, to have your words speak into our hearts and rule in our hearts,

00:00:39.480 --> 00:00:45.700
 so that we might, Father, be in your presence and receive grace from you and respond to you in a worthy manner.

00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:50.520
 And all this we ask in the name of Jesus, your Son and our Saviour. Amen.

00:00:51.140 --> 00:00:52.020
 Please be seated.

00:00:54.439 --> 00:01:01.299
 One of the things before the, we have an 8 o'clock service before this,

00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:03.379
 and then we, of course, have this 10 o'clock service.

00:01:03.619 --> 00:01:09.980
 And before each service, there's usually the people involved up front, at least some of us,

00:01:10.039 --> 00:01:11.319
 we have a very short prayer time.

00:01:12.099 --> 00:01:13.599
 Basically, it's just me praying.

00:01:14.259 --> 00:01:17.879
 And at both the 8 o'clock service and the 10 o'clock service,

00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:25.640
 one of the things that I prayed is just for us to really be thankful and grateful that we're not in Afghanistan.

00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:31.659
 And I don't say that lightly, but just to think that Christians in Afghanistan,

00:01:32.459 --> 00:01:35.959
 and there are Christians in Afghanistan, even before the Taliban took over,

00:01:36.739 --> 00:01:42.000
 Afghanistan was the second most dangerous place in the world for Christians to be Christians.

00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:48.980
 And so, but especially now, you could just imagine we'd be, we wouldn't be in here,

00:01:49.060 --> 00:01:52.719
 we'd be in the basement with all the lights upstairs turned off,

00:01:52.960 --> 00:02:00.039
 and we'd be meeting in the basement, and I can't even begin to say what it would be like to be in a situation like that.

00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:07.120
 But I can very well imagine that we would all be worried about the sound of a pounding on the door,

00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:11.060
 that this might be the time that you're caught.

00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:17.080
 And so, you know, we just take our freedom so much for granted.

00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:19.540
 And anyway, that's why I prayed.

00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:21.319
 Thank you, Father, that we're not in Afghanistan.

00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:24.719
 And at the end of this sermon, hopefully I'll remember to do this,

00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:27.199
 because I'm going to mention Afghanistan a couple of times in this,

00:02:27.300 --> 00:02:30.599
 that we'll remember just to pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ.

00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:35.740
 I mean, for all of Afghanistan, obviously, but especially for our brothers and sisters in Christ.

00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:38.599
 And it's just a bit of a wake-up call for all of us.

00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:42.460
 We really have it very easy here, and yet the easiness,

00:02:43.180 --> 00:02:44.960
 I mean, if you think about it, for many of us,

00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:49.979
 we'd get upset if we posted something in social media,

00:02:49.979 --> 00:02:52.800
 and it was Christian, and somebody gave us a thumbs down.

00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:56.160
 And we might get depressed about it.

00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:01.000
 And the difference between that and a knock on a door in Afghanistan

00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:04.580
 is a million, billion miles.

00:03:04.780 --> 00:03:05.540
 It's just huge.

00:03:07.580 --> 00:03:10.660
 Some of you might or might not know, I've said it occasionally in sermons,

00:03:10.820 --> 00:03:13.840
 and I've said it in some of my blogs.

00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:15.400
 I haven't watched the news.

00:03:15.880 --> 00:03:18.140
 Other than September 11th attack,

00:03:18.139 --> 00:03:22.699
 I haven't watched the news since somewhere in the mid-'70s,

00:03:22.699 --> 00:03:25.859
 so it's over 45 years since I've watched news on television.

00:03:26.679 --> 00:03:30.519
 I read a couple of books by a man named Jacques Gillil,

00:03:30.579 --> 00:03:31.859
 and one of them was on propaganda.

00:03:32.579 --> 00:03:35.519
 And after I read that book, I stopped watching the news on television,

00:03:35.519 --> 00:03:37.959
 and I stopped listening to the news on radio,

00:03:38.060 --> 00:03:39.419
 unless it's just sports news.

00:03:39.419 --> 00:03:42.619
 So I haven't watched the news in a long time.

00:03:42.679 --> 00:03:43.519
 Don't listen to the news.

00:03:43.939 --> 00:03:47.239
 But I read newspapers, and of course there's the social media.

00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:49.139
 I try to stay away from that for my news.

00:03:49.979 --> 00:03:53.619
 But all of us have been just horrified with the scenes

00:03:53.619 --> 00:03:55.899
 that are going on in Afghanistan.

00:03:55.900 --> 00:04:06.740
 Like, it's just heartbreaking to see pictures of people crushed up against the airport in Kabul.

00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:08.460
 I don't know if I'm pronouncing it correctly.

00:04:10.540 --> 00:04:16.540
 Just desperately trying to get into the airport to be taken away from Afghanistan.

00:04:16.540 --> 00:04:23.100
 The pictures of women holding their babies over the wall

00:04:23.100 --> 00:04:27.180
 in the hope that their baby would at least be taken,

00:04:27.760 --> 00:04:30.260
 knowing that they'd never see their baby,

00:04:30.379 --> 00:04:34.340
 knowing it's very likely they'd never see their baby again for the rest of their life.

00:04:34.460 --> 00:04:36.640
 Like, that's heartbreaking.

00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:47.180
 It just shows the great desperation they have to leave what they would see

00:04:47.180 --> 00:04:50.639
 and probably are completely right to see as a place of doom

00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:54.279
 and a place of oppression.

00:04:55.599 --> 00:04:58.479
 As you know, God has blessed us with many kids,

00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:02.300
 and just the idea that my wife would be able to hand a baby over a wall.

00:05:03.339 --> 00:05:05.379
 Like, on one hand, I could see that she would do that

00:05:05.379 --> 00:05:07.159
 as a final desperate act of love.

00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:10.219
 But it would break her heart.

00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:16.719
 And I mention this not just for any type of cheap emotional effect,

00:05:17.139 --> 00:05:19.659
 but because all this week I've really struggled.

00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:21.339
 All of us who have had to preach on these,

00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:24.159
 we're going through a sermon series on the attributes of God

00:05:24.159 --> 00:05:28.639
 called Knowing God, the Attributes and Characteristics of God,

00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:30.019
 and I think all of us have commented.

00:05:30.159 --> 00:05:32.899
 We found the sermons, on one hand, very, very difficult.

00:05:32.899 --> 00:05:37.579
 I mean, they've been very fruitful, at least for, I think,

00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:39.639
 for each of us who've had to reflect upon these things,

00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:42.719
 but it's just any one of the topics can go in so many different directions,

00:05:42.859 --> 00:05:43.819
 it's been difficult.

00:05:44.739 --> 00:05:48.519
 But it struck me that what's been going on in Afghanistan this week

00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:52.219
 is a perfect way for us to understand the holiness of God

00:05:52.219 --> 00:05:54.799
 and what it means for us to be called holy.

00:05:54.800 --> 00:06:00.259
 And so, I really do.

00:06:00.420 --> 00:06:02.259
 I'll get to it in a moment, but just first,

00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:04.800
 the first thing to understand about this talk,

00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:06.460
 that God is personal and God is holy,

00:06:06.579 --> 00:06:09.160
 and the situations going on in Afghanistan

00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:10.860
 helps us to understand,

00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:13.400
 enter into emotionally

00:06:13.400 --> 00:06:16.980
 and at an imaginative level

00:06:16.980 --> 00:06:18.939
 and an intellectual level,

00:06:18.939 --> 00:06:24.240
 what it means when God calls us to be holy like he is holy,

00:06:24.819 --> 00:06:28.719
 which otherwise just seems like a weird and awkward doctrine.

00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:31.279
 So first, if you turn in your Bibles,

00:06:31.379 --> 00:06:34.180
 we're going to look at Psalm 24,

00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:35.920
 then we're going to look at Leviticus 11,

00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:37.540
 Leviticus 12, 22,

00:06:37.740 --> 00:06:39.379
 then 1 Peter 1 and 1 Peter 2,

00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:40.600
 just five texts today.

00:06:41.019 --> 00:06:43.680
 But we'll start just with a very, very simple text,

00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.860
 which is Psalm 24, 1 and 2, verses 1 and 2.

00:06:48.500 --> 00:06:49.639
 And if you don't have your Bible,

00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:51.639
 you know, it's really helpful to have your own Bible

00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:53.240
 so you can sort of follow along,

00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:55.000
 and it's always really good.

00:06:55.180 --> 00:06:56.639
 I want us to be Bereans.

00:06:56.860 --> 00:06:59.139
 Those who are Christians maybe know what that reference is,

00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:01.980
 that people check to see if what I'm preaching on

00:07:01.980 --> 00:07:03.180
 is what the Bible teaches.

00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:05.480
 And so it's really helpful to have your own Bible

00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:06.620
 so you can look around and say,

00:07:06.699 --> 00:07:08.160
 oh, George took that out of context,

00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:09.680
 or no, oh, well, he didn't take it out of context,

00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:09.879
 whatever.

00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:11.660
 Anyway, so here is the first text,

00:07:11.660 --> 00:07:13.139
 very simple and famous text,

00:07:13.139 --> 00:07:16.039
 Luke, sorry, Psalm 24, verses 1 and 2.

00:07:16.539 --> 00:07:18.719
 The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof,

00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:21.300
 the world and those who dwell therein.

00:07:21.779 --> 00:07:23.560
 For he has founded it upon the seas

00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:25.560
 and established it upon the rivers.

00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:30.959
 So the basic idea there is that everything is God's.

00:07:31.139 --> 00:07:32.259
 God created everything.

00:07:32.419 --> 00:07:33.579
 He sustains everything.

00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:34.680
 Everything is his.

00:07:35.019 --> 00:07:36.839
 And he didn't only create everything.

00:07:37.060 --> 00:07:38.360
 He sustains everything.

00:07:38.479 --> 00:07:40.219
 That's why it says the earth is the Lord's

00:07:40.219 --> 00:07:41.199
 and the fullness thereof.

00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:42.579
 In other words, everything in it.

00:07:43.139 --> 00:07:45.259
 The world and those who dwell therein.

00:07:45.819 --> 00:07:49.699
 So it all belongs to him

00:07:49.699 --> 00:07:52.459
 because he founded it upon the seas.

00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:53.719
 In other words, he created it

00:07:53.719 --> 00:07:55.279
 and established it upon the rivers.

00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:57.139
 And both of those have this idea

00:07:57.139 --> 00:07:58.219
 not only of creation,

00:07:58.399 --> 00:07:59.419
 but of sustaining,

00:07:59.539 --> 00:08:01.699
 that he continues to sustain the world.

00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:04.479
 And so whatever we're going to mean about,

00:08:05.719 --> 00:08:07.279
 whatever we're going to understand

00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:10.079
 about holiness or God being holy,

00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:12.159
 it always begins with this idea

00:08:12.159 --> 00:08:13.959
 that God owns everything.

00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:16.060
 It's like the question,

00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.839
 if people ever ask me about tithing,

00:08:19.359 --> 00:08:20.279
 and they ask,

00:08:20.379 --> 00:08:21.180
 and do I ask them,

00:08:21.300 --> 00:08:22.819
 well, is it 10% is God's

00:08:22.819 --> 00:08:23.959
 and 90% is yours?

00:08:24.219 --> 00:08:25.860
 And it's easy to think that way.

00:08:25.939 --> 00:08:26.479
 But actually,

00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:28.240
 the biblical teaching on tithing

00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.019
 is that 100% of your money is God's.

00:08:31.019 --> 00:08:34.360
 And that he just asks as a sign,

00:08:34.460 --> 00:08:36.519
 a token of you believing

00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:38.019
 and trusting that it's all his,

00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:40.480
 that you give 10% for his purposes.

00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:43.779
 And so whatever holy is going to mean,

00:08:43.819 --> 00:08:44.960
 it doesn't mean that there's just

00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:46.360
 sort of some people that belong,

00:08:46.860 --> 00:08:48.659
 that in a sense belong to God

00:08:48.659 --> 00:08:49.759
 and everybody else doesn't.

00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:51.840
 No, the bottom line is everything,

00:08:52.019 --> 00:08:54.079
 every star, every nebula,

00:08:54.319 --> 00:08:55.899
 every atom, every molecule,

00:08:55.899 --> 00:08:58.480
 every person, every creature,

00:08:58.980 --> 00:09:00.699
 ultimately belongs to God.

00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:02.799
 Now, obviously,

00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:03.620
 this is going to raise

00:09:03.620 --> 00:09:05.059
 the whole question about evil.

00:09:05.340 --> 00:09:06.059
 I just realized

00:09:06.059 --> 00:09:06.959
 I don't have to always be

00:09:06.959 --> 00:09:07.579
 looking at the mic

00:09:07.579 --> 00:09:08.179
 because I have this.

00:09:09.059 --> 00:09:09.840
 And that, of course,

00:09:10.019 --> 00:09:11.659
 only the Christian story,

00:09:11.860 --> 00:09:13.340
 it's only when you understand

00:09:13.340 --> 00:09:14.579
 Psalm 24,

00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:15.840
 that the earth is the Lord's

00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:16.519
 and everything in it,

00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:17.500
 and then you understand

00:09:17.500 --> 00:09:18.399
 how evil came.

00:09:18.419 --> 00:09:19.919
 It's only the Christian story

00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:21.399
 that really accounts

00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:23.039
 for human experience.

00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:24.759
 The human experience

00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:26.519
 that there is both good in the world

00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:27.860
 and that there's good in people

00:09:27.860 --> 00:09:29.319
 and that there's good in things,

00:09:29.620 --> 00:09:30.740
 but at the same time

00:09:30.740 --> 00:09:32.120
 that there's evil in the world

00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:33.600
 and there's evil in things.

00:09:34.259 --> 00:09:36.159
 And that, and it's, you know,

00:09:36.539 --> 00:09:36.860
 one of the,

00:09:36.939 --> 00:09:38.379
 there's many, many, many problems

00:09:38.379 --> 00:09:39.419
 with critical theory

00:09:39.419 --> 00:09:40.919
 and all of its offspring.

00:09:41.899 --> 00:09:43.740
 And one of the great problems

00:09:43.740 --> 00:09:44.939
 with critical theory

00:09:44.939 --> 00:09:46.580
 and all of its offspring

00:09:46.580 --> 00:09:49.720
 is it constantly is dividing the world

00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:51.200
 between the good and the bad,

00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:53.500
 the good people and the bad people.

00:09:53.500 --> 00:09:55.019
 And the Christians,

00:09:55.580 --> 00:09:57.840
 the Bible rejects that analogy

00:09:57.840 --> 00:09:59.500
 completely and utterly.

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.100
 The word Christian is not a synonym

00:10:02.100 --> 00:10:03.480
 or another word for good.

00:10:06.820 --> 00:10:08.639
 There's lots of terrible Christians

00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:09.279
 in the world.

00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:11.639
 And if we're honest,

00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:12.960
 every single one of our Christian,

00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:14.639
 of us who are Christians here,

00:10:14.740 --> 00:10:16.000
 our walk is second rate.

00:10:17.340 --> 00:10:19.000
 But the world is not divided

00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:20.159
 between the good and the evil

00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:22.179
 because the division

00:10:22.179 --> 00:10:23.179
 between good and evil

00:10:23.179 --> 00:10:23.919
 runs right through

00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:25.219
 every single human being.

00:10:25.819 --> 00:10:27.199
 It's one of the many ways

00:10:27.199 --> 00:10:28.299
 that Christianity,

00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:29.360
 in a sense,

00:10:29.439 --> 00:10:31.360
 rejects key tenets

00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:32.339
 of critical theory

00:10:32.339 --> 00:10:34.899
 and all of the critical theories

00:10:34.899 --> 00:10:35.679
 offspring.

00:10:35.899 --> 00:10:36.379
 And some of you

00:10:36.379 --> 00:10:36.980
 who are involved

00:10:36.980 --> 00:10:37.639
 in a more intellectual

00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:38.659
 and that never know

00:10:38.659 --> 00:10:38.959
 what I mean.

00:10:38.980 --> 00:10:39.179
 Others,

00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:40.219
 I've just put you to sleep.

00:10:40.620 --> 00:10:41.299
 But to get back

00:10:41.299 --> 00:10:42.159
 to this particular thing,

00:10:42.199 --> 00:10:43.019
 the Bible has a very,

00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:43.600
 very simple

00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:44.839
 and profound story.

00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:46.879
 And it's the only story

00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:47.620
 that understands

00:10:47.620 --> 00:10:48.759
 our human experience

00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:49.540
 and understands

00:10:49.540 --> 00:10:50.440
 our human experience

00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:50.980
 with hope.

00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:53.680
 Because it understands

00:10:53.680 --> 00:10:54.500
 that the Lord

00:10:54.500 --> 00:10:55.300
 made everything.

00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:56.280
 He made it good.

00:10:56.780 --> 00:10:58.379
 He continues to maintain

00:10:58.379 --> 00:10:59.500
 and sustain everything.

00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:00.879
 And part of the way

00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:02.259
 that he made human beings good

00:11:02.259 --> 00:11:03.620
 is he made human beings

00:11:03.620 --> 00:11:05.000
 have a very special place

00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:06.139
 in the world.

00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:06.700
 In a sense,

00:11:07.040 --> 00:11:08.200
 human beings are made

00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:09.280
 and not in a sense,

00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:10.320
 we are made in his image.

00:11:10.379 --> 00:11:10.940
 And in a sense,

00:11:10.940 --> 00:11:11.560
 we are made

00:11:11.560 --> 00:11:13.680
 to every single human being

00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:14.719
 is to be like a priest

00:11:14.719 --> 00:11:16.199
 for the entire created order,

00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:17.519
 offering up,

00:11:17.599 --> 00:11:17.939
 in a sense,

00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:19.059
 the entire created order

00:11:19.059 --> 00:11:19.539
 to God

00:11:19.539 --> 00:11:20.359
 at the same time

00:11:20.359 --> 00:11:21.099
 that we were called

00:11:21.099 --> 00:11:22.039
 to fill the earth,

00:11:22.339 --> 00:11:22.959
 to flourish,

00:11:23.099 --> 00:11:24.219
 and to have dominion.

00:11:24.779 --> 00:11:25.439
 And for God

00:11:25.439 --> 00:11:26.639
 to create a creature

00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:27.259
 like that,

00:11:27.319 --> 00:11:28.079
 which is you and me,

00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:29.219
 he can only do that

00:11:29.219 --> 00:11:30.239
 if he gives us freedom.

00:11:31.359 --> 00:11:32.259
 He can't do it

00:11:32.259 --> 00:11:32.959
 without freedom.

00:11:33.739 --> 00:11:35.019
 And then he gives us

00:11:35.019 --> 00:11:35.439
 that freedom.

00:11:35.539 --> 00:11:36.019
 And if God

00:11:36.019 --> 00:11:36.919
 has given us freedom,

00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:37.879
 then it is possible

00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:38.579
 that we will use

00:11:38.579 --> 00:11:39.240
 our freedom

00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:40.879
 to rebel against him,

00:11:40.959 --> 00:11:41.819
 to choose evil

00:11:41.819 --> 00:11:42.539
 over good.

00:11:42.539 --> 00:11:43.659
 And that is,

00:11:43.819 --> 00:11:44.019
 in fact,

00:11:44.059 --> 00:11:45.439
 what the Christian story is,

00:11:45.579 --> 00:11:46.659
 that during the time

00:11:46.659 --> 00:11:48.459
 of humanity's probation,

00:11:49.339 --> 00:11:50.000
 Adam and Eve

00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:51.179
 used their freedom

00:11:51.179 --> 00:11:52.439
 to choose to be

00:11:52.439 --> 00:11:53.639
 not just like God,

00:11:53.719 --> 00:11:54.279
 but in a sense,

00:11:54.339 --> 00:11:55.379
 to be over God.

00:11:56.019 --> 00:11:56.839
 And it's seen,

00:11:56.919 --> 00:11:57.439
 if you go back

00:11:57.439 --> 00:11:57.879
 and you read

00:11:57.879 --> 00:11:58.860
 the original story

00:11:58.860 --> 00:11:59.679
 of Genesis 3,

00:11:59.779 --> 00:12:01.439
 they choose to go over God

00:12:01.439 --> 00:12:02.439
 in the sense

00:12:02.439 --> 00:12:03.639
 that they doubt his word.

00:12:03.779 --> 00:12:04.799
 They now act

00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:05.559
 as a judge of it.

00:12:05.579 --> 00:12:05.980
 They don't really

00:12:05.980 --> 00:12:07.120
 want to be like God,

00:12:07.419 --> 00:12:08.039
 but because they

00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:08.779
 want to be like God,

00:12:08.860 --> 00:12:09.599
 they look at his word

00:12:09.599 --> 00:12:09.980
 and they think

00:12:09.980 --> 00:12:11.059
 that his word is wrong,

00:12:11.059 --> 00:12:12.500
 so they're judging his word.

00:12:12.619 --> 00:12:14.139
 They very quickly move

00:12:14.139 --> 00:12:14.779
 not just from,

00:12:14.899 --> 00:12:15.839
 I want to be like God,

00:12:15.899 --> 00:12:17.339
 I want to be God's boss.

00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:19.679
 I want to be God's judge.

00:12:20.119 --> 00:12:21.539
 I want to be over God.

00:12:21.619 --> 00:12:22.579
 And when human beings

00:12:22.579 --> 00:12:23.139
 did that,

00:12:23.199 --> 00:12:23.839
 it bent them.

00:12:24.179 --> 00:12:25.000
 It bent us.

00:12:25.079 --> 00:12:26.039
 It bent you and me.

00:12:26.419 --> 00:12:27.699
 It created a tear

00:12:27.699 --> 00:12:28.719
 in you and me.

00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:31.159
 And because the entire creation

00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:32.339
 is one piece,

00:12:32.719 --> 00:12:33.899
 when one piece tears,

00:12:33.899 --> 00:12:34.759
 the whole thing

00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:35.339
 is, in a sense,

00:12:35.439 --> 00:12:35.739
 torn.

00:12:35.740 --> 00:12:40.100
 If you went

00:12:40.100 --> 00:12:42.240
 to a store

00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:42.879
 and you were going

00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:43.639
 to buy an article

00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:44.220
 of clothing

00:12:44.220 --> 00:12:44.620
 and there was

00:12:44.620 --> 00:12:45.539
 a little bit of a tear,

00:12:46.379 --> 00:12:47.600
 you'd either wonder

00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:48.180
 why they didn't

00:12:48.180 --> 00:12:48.919
 just throw it out

00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:49.460
 or you'd ask

00:12:49.460 --> 00:12:49.960
 for a very,

00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:50.860
 very great discount.

00:12:51.620 --> 00:12:52.539
 And if they said to you,

00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:53.220
 well, one moment,

00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:55.480
 99% of it is untorn,

00:12:55.560 --> 00:12:56.180
 it's just that one

00:12:56.180 --> 00:12:57.100
 little bit that's torn.

00:12:57.460 --> 00:12:58.159
 What would you say?

00:12:58.220 --> 00:12:58.620
 You'd say,

00:12:59.060 --> 00:13:00.259
 no, it's torn.

00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:03.200
 It's torn.

00:13:03.860 --> 00:13:04.480
 And you don't just

00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:05.460
 reduce the price,

00:13:05.740 --> 00:13:06.820
 because there's only

00:13:06.820 --> 00:13:09.799
 a 0.3% tear,

00:13:09.940 --> 00:13:10.279
 so you're going

00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:11.299
 to take 3 cents

00:13:11.299 --> 00:13:12.680
 off of every dollar.

00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:13.639
 You'd say it's torn.

00:13:13.940 --> 00:13:14.560
 You should either

00:13:14.560 --> 00:13:15.680
 throw it out

00:13:15.680 --> 00:13:17.480
 or make it

00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:18.299
 greatly reduced.

00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:20.139
 That's how we would react

00:13:20.139 --> 00:13:20.840
 with any article

00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:21.259
 of clothing.

00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:21.799
 If we went home

00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:22.279
 and found out

00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:23.039
 it was torn,

00:13:23.139 --> 00:13:23.840
 we would go back

00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:24.860
 to the returns

00:13:24.860 --> 00:13:26.480
 and act that.

00:13:26.779 --> 00:13:27.480
 And if you were handy

00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:27.940
 at sewing

00:13:27.940 --> 00:13:28.360
 and you thought

00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:28.960
 you could sew it,

00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:29.519
 you might take

00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:30.240
 the big discount

00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:30.940
 or you might just say,

00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:31.360
 I don't want it.

00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:31.779
 It's torn.

00:13:32.419 --> 00:13:34.060
 But what the Bible says

00:13:34.060 --> 00:13:34.980
 is that in the mystery

00:13:34.980 --> 00:13:35.700
 of God's love,

00:13:35.740 --> 00:13:36.560
 because God created

00:13:36.560 --> 00:13:38.039
 everything out of love.

00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:39.159
 It was out of the

00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:40.680
 overflowing of his love

00:13:40.680 --> 00:13:42.240
 that he created all things.

00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:43.500
 And that what God does

00:13:43.500 --> 00:13:44.480
 is he doesn't just

00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:45.220
 sort of discount

00:13:45.220 --> 00:13:45.639
 and say,

00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:45.799
 well,

00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:46.539
 this is now just

00:13:46.539 --> 00:13:47.779
 a tenth rate creation

00:13:47.779 --> 00:13:48.879
 and I'm just,

00:13:49.139 --> 00:13:50.860
 or he didn't discard it.

00:13:51.620 --> 00:13:52.539
 What he does

00:13:52.539 --> 00:13:53.539
 is he promises,

00:13:54.980 --> 00:13:55.159
 well,

00:13:55.220 --> 00:13:55.860
 first of all,

00:13:56.659 --> 00:13:58.340
 what he does

00:13:58.340 --> 00:13:59.120
 is he promises

00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:01.320
 that there will come

00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:01.820
 a time

00:14:01.820 --> 00:14:02.960
 when he will judge

00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:03.560
 the evil

00:14:03.560 --> 00:14:05.139
 and that he will

00:14:05.139 --> 00:14:06.179
 redeem those

00:14:06.179 --> 00:14:07.080
 who do evil.

00:14:07.700 --> 00:14:08.779
 And he promises that.

00:14:08.980 --> 00:14:09.879
 And he promises that

00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:10.560
 at the same time

00:14:10.560 --> 00:14:11.200
 part of his love

00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:11.700
 and mercy

00:14:11.700 --> 00:14:12.960
 is that not only

00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:13.600
 does he begin

00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:14.659
 to give these pointers

00:14:14.659 --> 00:14:15.399
 about what he's going

00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:16.220
 to do at some point

00:14:16.220 --> 00:14:17.080
 in time in the future,

00:14:17.419 --> 00:14:18.600
 he begins to enact it

00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:19.740
 right in that original story

00:14:19.740 --> 00:14:20.440
 by covering them

00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:21.120
 with clothes.

00:14:21.500 --> 00:14:22.440
 But at the same time

00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:23.100
 what he's doing

00:14:23.100 --> 00:14:26.139
 is he sustains

00:14:26.139 --> 00:14:26.879
 the created order

00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:27.700
 out of his love.

00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:30.000
 And that's what

00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:30.759
 our situation

00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:31.639
 is in right now.

00:14:31.740 --> 00:14:32.340
 So that's why

00:14:32.340 --> 00:14:33.300
 we can understand

00:14:33.300 --> 00:14:34.180
 that the earth

00:14:34.180 --> 00:14:34.720
 is the Lord

00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:35.740
 and the fullness thereof.

00:14:35.820 --> 00:14:36.580
 That is why

00:14:36.580 --> 00:14:37.740
 I can say

00:14:37.740 --> 00:14:38.740
 to my non-Christian

00:14:38.740 --> 00:14:39.700
 friends sometimes

00:14:39.700 --> 00:14:40.100
 when you have

00:14:40.100 --> 00:14:40.740
 a very, very,

00:14:40.860 --> 00:14:41.980
 very beautiful day

00:14:41.980 --> 00:14:42.680
 in Ottawa

00:14:42.680 --> 00:14:43.320
 can have some

00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:44.139
 very, very,

00:14:44.259 --> 00:14:44.840
 very, very

00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:45.800
 beautiful days.

00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:47.480
 Days when,

00:14:47.560 --> 00:14:47.899
 I don't know,

00:14:48.060 --> 00:14:49.379
 take your pick

00:14:49.379 --> 00:14:50.220
 about what's beautiful

00:14:50.220 --> 00:14:50.779
 but it's,

00:14:51.100 --> 00:14:51.360
 you know,

00:14:51.460 --> 00:14:52.340
 the mid-twenties,

00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:53.000
 it's sunny,

00:14:53.100 --> 00:14:54.159
 there's no humidity,

00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:55.460
 every, you know,

00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:56.560
 maybe a day in the fall

00:14:56.560 --> 00:14:57.379
 the leaves are all

00:14:57.379 --> 00:14:58.040
 just glorious

00:14:58.040 --> 00:14:58.879
 and I can say

00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:00.139
 to my non-Christian friends

00:15:00.139 --> 00:15:01.259
 days like this

00:15:01.259 --> 00:15:01.759
 make it easy

00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:02.560
 to believe in heaven.

00:15:04.820 --> 00:15:05.580
 And that's part

00:15:05.580 --> 00:15:06.279
 of God's goodness

00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:06.860
 that he has

00:15:06.860 --> 00:15:08.259
 maintained creation

00:15:08.259 --> 00:15:09.480
 so that everybody

00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:10.420
 can say that.

00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:11.960
 But I could also say

00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:12.899
 very easily

00:15:12.899 --> 00:15:14.740
 to my non-Christian friends

00:15:14.740 --> 00:15:15.860
 if we were

00:15:15.860 --> 00:15:16.960
 maybe in a bar

00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:17.500
 or a restaurant

00:15:17.500 --> 00:15:17.980
 and there was

00:15:17.980 --> 00:15:18.560
 a news clip

00:15:18.560 --> 00:15:18.980
 going on

00:15:18.980 --> 00:15:19.720
 about Afghanistan

00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:20.980
 you'd say

00:15:20.980 --> 00:15:22.980
 things like this

00:15:22.980 --> 00:15:26.779
 make it easy

00:15:26.779 --> 00:15:27.320
 to see

00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:28.659
 that there's

00:15:28.659 --> 00:15:29.120
 real evil

00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:29.639
 in the world

00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:30.420
 and a real devil

00:15:30.420 --> 00:15:33.659
 because when you

00:15:33.659 --> 00:15:34.200
 see something

00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:34.740
 like this

00:15:34.740 --> 00:15:35.500
 you can smell

00:15:35.500 --> 00:15:36.200
 the sulfur

00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:38.580
 you can smell

00:15:38.580 --> 00:15:39.440
 the brimstone

00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:41.640
 and I think

00:15:41.640 --> 00:15:42.280
 non-Christians

00:15:42.280 --> 00:15:42.600
 would go

00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:42.900
 yeah

00:15:42.900 --> 00:15:45.400
 just as an aside

00:15:45.400 --> 00:15:46.760
 never say

00:15:46.760 --> 00:15:48.000
 a day like this

00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:48.860
 helps you

00:15:48.860 --> 00:15:49.700
 to believe in hell

00:15:49.700 --> 00:15:53.400
 because hell

00:15:53.400 --> 00:15:54.160
 isn't where

00:15:54.160 --> 00:15:55.360
 the devil rules

00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:56.520
 hell

00:15:56.520 --> 00:15:57.040
 is where

00:15:57.040 --> 00:15:57.440
 the devil

00:15:57.440 --> 00:15:58.180
 is judged

00:15:58.180 --> 00:16:00.100
 hell

00:16:00.100 --> 00:16:01.140
 is death

00:16:01.140 --> 00:16:02.700
 and the devil's

00:16:02.700 --> 00:16:03.860
 and evil's

00:16:03.860 --> 00:16:04.620
 doom

00:16:04.620 --> 00:16:06.860
 not where he rules

00:16:06.860 --> 00:16:08.940
 it's a

00:16:08.940 --> 00:16:10.480
 terrible mistake

00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:10.960
 to think

00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:11.320
 that hell

00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:11.860
 is the place

00:16:11.860 --> 00:16:12.560
 where he rules

00:16:12.560 --> 00:16:13.940
 it's the place

00:16:13.940 --> 00:16:14.320
 where he

00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:15.320
 is finished

00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:18.919
 now we mention

00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:19.580
 all of this

00:16:19.580 --> 00:16:20.399
 because

00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:22.200
 as I said

00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:22.940
 if we look

00:16:22.940 --> 00:16:23.779
 at Afghanistan

00:16:23.779 --> 00:16:28.700
 I mean right

00:16:28.700 --> 00:16:29.139
 if you think

00:16:29.139 --> 00:16:30.000
 about that mom

00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:31.340
 putting her baby

00:16:31.340 --> 00:16:31.820
 up

00:16:31.820 --> 00:16:32.759
 in the hope

00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:34.279
 that a soldier

00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:35.039
 on the other side

00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:36.000
 will take that baby

00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:36.639
 for her

00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:39.259
 not only

00:16:39.259 --> 00:16:39.779
 that it will then

00:16:39.779 --> 00:16:40.740
 be under the control

00:16:40.740 --> 00:16:42.120
 of Great Britain

00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:43.740
 or France

00:16:43.740 --> 00:16:44.139
 or

00:16:44.139 --> 00:16:47.419
 the United States

00:16:47.419 --> 00:16:49.080
 but that it would

00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:50.000
 even come to this

00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:50.379
 country

00:16:50.379 --> 00:16:51.200
 and be adopted

00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:54.860
 on one hand

00:16:54.860 --> 00:16:56.220
 that very same

00:16:56.220 --> 00:16:56.860
 image

00:16:56.860 --> 00:16:57.960
 shows

00:16:57.960 --> 00:16:59.299
 the great

00:16:59.299 --> 00:16:59.820
 horror

00:16:59.820 --> 00:17:00.759
 and evil

00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:01.320
 that exists

00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:01.919
 in the world

00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:03.379
 and the great

00:17:03.379 --> 00:17:03.740
 love

00:17:03.740 --> 00:17:04.420
 that exists

00:17:04.420 --> 00:17:04.819
 in the world

00:17:04.819 --> 00:17:05.299
 doesn't it

00:17:05.299 --> 00:17:06.299
 the great love

00:17:06.299 --> 00:17:06.819
 of the mom

00:17:06.819 --> 00:17:08.220
 and the great

00:17:08.220 --> 00:17:08.700
 horror of the

00:17:08.700 --> 00:17:09.279
 situation

00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:12.059
 and so

00:17:12.059 --> 00:17:13.159
 it's within this

00:17:13.159 --> 00:17:14.319
 that we can then

00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:15.480
 start to understand

00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:17.440
 what the biblical

00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:18.419
 teaching of holiness

00:17:18.419 --> 00:17:18.940
 is

00:17:18.940 --> 00:17:20.599
 let's look at the

00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:21.480
 next bible text

00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:22.180
 which is 11

00:17:22.180 --> 00:17:23.279
 Leviticus

00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:23.819
 sorry

00:17:23.819 --> 00:17:24.359
 a book that

00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:25.039
 basically

00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:25.879
 Christians

00:17:25.879 --> 00:17:26.839
 virtually never

00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:27.819
 look at

00:17:27.819 --> 00:17:28.559
 or preach on

00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:30.180
 when

00:17:30.180 --> 00:17:31.579
 Messiah

00:17:31.579 --> 00:17:32.059
 Kanata

00:17:32.059 --> 00:17:32.559
 is off

00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:32.960
 and running

00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:33.400
 for a little

00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:33.799
 while

00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:34.279
 Daniel

00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:34.620
 and I

00:17:34.620 --> 00:17:34.900
 Daniel

00:17:34.900 --> 00:17:35.460
 doesn't know

00:17:35.460 --> 00:17:35.720
 this

00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:36.059
 but I

00:17:36.059 --> 00:17:36.360
 and I'm

00:17:36.360 --> 00:17:36.700
 sure he's

00:17:36.700 --> 00:17:36.940
 just going

00:17:36.940 --> 00:17:37.180
 to go

00:17:37.180 --> 00:17:37.680
 let's do

00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:38.019
 this

00:17:38.019 --> 00:17:38.940
 at some

00:17:38.940 --> 00:17:39.180
 point

00:17:39.180 --> 00:17:39.380
 time

00:17:39.380 --> 00:17:39.620
 hopefully

00:17:39.620 --> 00:17:39.940
 within

00:17:39.940 --> 00:17:40.519
 the first

00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:40.799
 year

00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:41.360
 I've been

00:17:41.360 --> 00:17:41.559
 meaning

00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:42.039
 for a long

00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:42.700
 time to preach

00:17:42.700 --> 00:17:43.120
 through the book

00:17:43.120 --> 00:17:43.759
 of Leviticus

00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:45.500
 and so at some

00:17:45.500 --> 00:17:45.900
 point in time

00:17:45.900 --> 00:17:46.340
 we should just

00:17:46.340 --> 00:17:47.360
 do it

00:17:47.360 --> 00:17:48.840
 but Leviticus

00:17:48.840 --> 00:17:50.279
 towards the beginning

00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:50.819
 of the bible

00:17:50.819 --> 00:17:51.460
 and if you look at

00:17:51.460 --> 00:17:52.700
 Leviticus chapter 11

00:17:52.700 --> 00:17:53.440
 verse 45

00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:54.120
 look at this

00:17:54.120 --> 00:17:55.160
 very very interesting

00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:55.660
 text

00:17:55.660 --> 00:17:56.759
 and one of the

00:17:56.759 --> 00:17:57.220
 reasons that

00:17:57.220 --> 00:17:57.819
 Christians don't

00:17:57.819 --> 00:17:58.460
 read Leviticus

00:17:58.460 --> 00:17:58.960
 is you get

00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:00.019
 these long lists

00:18:00.019 --> 00:18:00.660
 of the food

00:18:00.660 --> 00:18:01.160
 you can eat

00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:01.519
 the food

00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:02.059
 you can't

00:18:02.059 --> 00:18:02.339
 eat

00:18:02.339 --> 00:18:03.099
 and how

00:18:03.099 --> 00:18:03.440
 to deal

00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:04.139
 with mold

00:18:04.139 --> 00:18:04.680
 and whether

00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:05.440
 it's a bad

00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:06.200
 thing or not

00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:07.059
 and leprosy

00:18:07.059 --> 00:18:07.759
 and all the

00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:08.500
 sacrifices

00:18:08.500 --> 00:18:09.400
 and if you're rich

00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:09.940
 you do this

00:18:09.940 --> 00:18:10.759
 if you're a little

00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:11.220
 bit less

00:18:11.220 --> 00:18:11.740
 you do it

00:18:11.740 --> 00:18:12.460
 just you know

00:18:12.460 --> 00:18:12.920
 it goes on

00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:13.200
 and on

00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:13.500
 and on

00:18:13.500 --> 00:18:13.940
 and for many

00:18:13.940 --> 00:18:14.240
 of us

00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:14.660
 it's just

00:18:14.660 --> 00:18:15.440
 very very

00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:15.980
 very off

00:18:15.980 --> 00:18:16.240
 putting

00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:16.920
 hard to read

00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:18.559
 but one of the

00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:18.859
 things

00:18:18.859 --> 00:18:19.799
 and this is too

00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:20.460
 generally about

00:18:20.460 --> 00:18:20.920
 the bible

00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:21.379
 is that one of

00:18:21.379 --> 00:18:21.680
 the things

00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:22.319
 about the bible

00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:22.720
 is that the

00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:23.539
 bible interprets

00:18:23.539 --> 00:18:24.079
 itself

00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:27.039
 and so what

00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:27.619
 is needed

00:18:27.619 --> 00:18:28.480
 is for an

00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:29.319
 attentive reading

00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:29.859
 of the bible

00:18:29.859 --> 00:18:30.299
 where you can

00:18:30.299 --> 00:18:31.000
 actually notice

00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:31.959
 how it interprets

00:18:31.959 --> 00:18:32.419
 things

00:18:32.419 --> 00:18:33.519
 and you go

00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:34.319
 oh

00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:35.579
 that's what's

00:18:35.579 --> 00:18:36.059
 going on in

00:18:36.059 --> 00:18:36.479
 the rest of

00:18:36.479 --> 00:18:36.839
 the book

00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:38.119
 oh

00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:39.479
 and so this

00:18:39.479 --> 00:18:40.899
 is one of

00:18:40.899 --> 00:18:41.419
 the first

00:18:41.419 --> 00:18:42.039
 moments

00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:42.740
 about halfway

00:18:42.740 --> 00:18:43.199
 or a third

00:18:43.199 --> 00:18:43.619
 of the way

00:18:43.619 --> 00:18:45.179
 somewhere in

00:18:45.179 --> 00:18:45.579
 between that

00:18:45.579 --> 00:18:46.240
 40% of the

00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:46.559
 way through

00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:47.079
 the book

00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:47.919
 there's this

00:18:47.919 --> 00:18:48.459
 very very

00:18:48.459 --> 00:18:49.119
 powerful

00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:50.000
 explanatory

00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:50.639
 statement

00:18:50.639 --> 00:18:52.339
 and it's

00:18:52.339 --> 00:18:53.859
 it's

00:18:53.859 --> 00:18:54.459
 Leviticus

00:18:54.459 --> 00:18:55.219
 11 45

00:18:55.219 --> 00:18:55.819
 I could have

00:18:55.819 --> 00:18:56.319
 quoted the other

00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:56.859
 verses a bit

00:18:56.859 --> 00:18:57.599
 before but this

00:18:57.599 --> 00:18:58.299
 gets to the

00:18:58.299 --> 00:18:58.759
 heart of it

00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:00.200
 for I am

00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:00.619
 the lord

00:19:00.619 --> 00:19:01.119
 who brought

00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:01.579
 you up

00:19:01.579 --> 00:19:02.000
 out of the

00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:02.460
 land of

00:19:02.460 --> 00:19:03.000
 Egypt to

00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:03.379
 be your

00:19:03.379 --> 00:19:03.819
 god

00:19:03.819 --> 00:19:04.900
 you shall

00:19:04.900 --> 00:19:05.579
 therefore be

00:19:05.579 --> 00:19:06.099
 holy

00:19:06.099 --> 00:19:07.119
 for I

00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:07.980
 am holy

00:19:07.980 --> 00:19:09.200
 read it

00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:09.460
 again

00:19:09.460 --> 00:19:10.099
 for I am

00:19:10.099 --> 00:19:10.599
 the lord

00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:11.379
 who brought

00:19:11.379 --> 00:19:11.940
 you up

00:19:11.940 --> 00:19:12.319
 out of the

00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:12.819
 land of

00:19:12.819 --> 00:19:13.359
 Egypt to

00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:13.700
 be your

00:19:13.700 --> 00:19:14.119
 god

00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:15.319
 you shall

00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:16.000
 therefore be

00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:16.440
 holy

00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:17.359
 for I am

00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:17.759
 holy

00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:19.059
 so what is

00:19:19.059 --> 00:19:19.660
 this revealing

00:19:19.660 --> 00:19:20.379
 this is revealing

00:19:20.379 --> 00:19:20.879
 first of all

00:19:20.879 --> 00:19:21.359
 the lord is

00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:21.859
 revealing that

00:19:21.859 --> 00:19:22.440
 he's personal

00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:22.879
 which I'll

00:19:22.879 --> 00:19:23.299
 talk about

00:19:23.299 --> 00:19:23.740
 in a second

00:19:23.740 --> 00:19:24.319
 he's revealing

00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:24.679
 that he's

00:19:24.679 --> 00:19:25.039
 holy

00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:25.879
 but he

00:19:25.879 --> 00:19:26.259
 does it

00:19:26.259 --> 00:19:26.919
 he reveals

00:19:26.919 --> 00:19:27.619
 himself in

00:19:27.619 --> 00:19:28.200
 the context

00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:29.039
 of redeeming

00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:29.619
 first he

00:19:29.619 --> 00:19:30.179
 redeems

00:19:30.179 --> 00:19:31.299
 and then he

00:19:31.299 --> 00:19:31.779
 calls us

00:19:31.779 --> 00:19:32.439
 to be

00:19:32.439 --> 00:19:32.839
 holy

00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:33.319
 like he

00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:33.799
 is holy

00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:35.359
 and this

00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:36.099
 whole analogy

00:19:36.099 --> 00:19:36.659
 of Egypt

00:19:36.659 --> 00:19:37.299
 is very

00:19:37.299 --> 00:19:38.079
 very appropriate

00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:38.980
 to Afghanistan

00:19:38.980 --> 00:19:40.460
 if you just

00:19:40.460 --> 00:19:40.839
 realize

00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:43.279
 if a law

00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:43.919
 came in

00:19:43.919 --> 00:19:44.299
 Canada

00:19:44.299 --> 00:19:45.980
 and they

00:19:45.980 --> 00:19:46.319
 wanted to

00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:46.659
 show us a

00:19:46.659 --> 00:19:46.919
 little bit

00:19:46.919 --> 00:19:47.259
 of mercy

00:19:47.259 --> 00:19:47.559
 so they

00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:47.819
 weren't going

00:19:47.819 --> 00:19:48.079
 to kill

00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:48.399
 all the

00:19:48.399 --> 00:19:48.839
 Christians

00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:49.700
 but they

00:19:49.700 --> 00:19:50.079
 said that

00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:50.759
 every time

00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:51.679
 a Christian

00:19:51.679 --> 00:19:52.319
 has a baby

00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:52.799
 boy the

00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:53.399
 boy will be

00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:53.960
 killed

00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:55.420
 that's

00:19:55.420 --> 00:19:55.759
 Egypt

00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:58.180
 if it's

00:19:58.180 --> 00:19:58.519
 saying that

00:19:58.519 --> 00:19:58.920
 all of the

00:19:58.920 --> 00:19:59.220
 Christians

00:19:59.220 --> 00:19:59.620
 will be

00:19:59.620 --> 00:20:00.220
 slaves

00:20:00.220 --> 00:20:01.200
 that's

00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:01.560
 Egypt

00:20:01.560 --> 00:20:03.320
 and so

00:20:03.320 --> 00:20:03.960
 God

00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:05.080
 uses his

00:20:05.080 --> 00:20:05.880
 mighty power

00:20:05.880 --> 00:20:06.640
 to deliver

00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:07.740
 people

00:20:07.740 --> 00:20:08.340
 out of

00:20:08.340 --> 00:20:09.080
 slavery

00:20:09.080 --> 00:20:10.880
 bondage

00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:11.880
 death

00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:12.519
 and doom

00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:15.220
 into a

00:20:15.220 --> 00:20:15.540
 land that

00:20:15.540 --> 00:20:16.040
 is promised

00:20:16.040 --> 00:20:16.600
 for them

00:20:16.600 --> 00:20:17.560
 and so

00:20:17.560 --> 00:20:17.980
 look at it

00:20:17.980 --> 00:20:18.280
 again

00:20:18.280 --> 00:20:19.000
 I am the

00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:19.340
 Lord

00:20:19.340 --> 00:20:20.180
 who brought

00:20:20.180 --> 00:20:20.519
 you up

00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:20.780
 out of the

00:20:20.780 --> 00:20:21.140
 land of

00:20:21.140 --> 00:20:21.380
 Egypt

00:20:21.380 --> 00:20:21.759
 to be

00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:22.300
 your God

00:20:22.300 --> 00:20:22.720
 you shall

00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:23.060
 therefore

00:20:23.059 --> 00:20:23.759
 be holy

00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:24.419
 for I

00:20:24.419 --> 00:20:24.980
 am holy

00:20:24.980 --> 00:20:25.899
 don't know

00:20:25.899 --> 00:20:26.519
 there's

00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:27.139
 lots in

00:20:27.139 --> 00:20:27.399
 this

00:20:27.399 --> 00:20:27.819
 which is

00:20:27.819 --> 00:20:28.139
 very

00:20:28.139 --> 00:20:28.839
 significant

00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:29.579
 that

00:20:29.579 --> 00:20:32.500
 first of

00:20:32.500 --> 00:20:33.000
 all is

00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:33.700
 that God

00:20:33.700 --> 00:20:34.759
 says I

00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:35.779
 am the

00:20:35.779 --> 00:20:36.059
 Lord

00:20:36.059 --> 00:20:37.019
 he reveals

00:20:37.019 --> 00:20:37.659
 himself as

00:20:37.659 --> 00:20:38.220
 personal

00:20:38.220 --> 00:20:40.859
 and one

00:20:40.859 --> 00:20:41.319
 way to put

00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:41.619
 it and I

00:20:41.619 --> 00:20:42.000
 put it up

00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:42.240
 on a

00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:42.779
 screen is

00:20:42.779 --> 00:20:43.039
 that the

00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:43.579
 true and

00:20:43.579 --> 00:20:44.279
 living God

00:20:44.279 --> 00:20:44.679
 is a

00:20:44.679 --> 00:20:45.059
 who

00:20:45.059 --> 00:20:46.139
 not a

00:20:46.139 --> 00:20:46.480
 what

00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:47.839
 the true

00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:48.179
 and living

00:20:48.179 --> 00:20:48.720
 God is

00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:49.319
 a who

00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:50.279
 not a

00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:50.559
 what

00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:51.839
 and all

00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:52.059
 of the

00:20:52.059 --> 00:20:52.440
 religions

00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:52.859
 and the

00:20:52.859 --> 00:20:53.679
 spiritualities

00:20:53.679 --> 00:20:53.960
 of the

00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:54.299
 world

00:20:54.299 --> 00:20:55.059
 divide

00:20:55.059 --> 00:20:56.019
 along this

00:20:56.019 --> 00:20:56.599
 very very

00:20:56.599 --> 00:20:57.319
 important

00:20:57.319 --> 00:20:58.119
 distinction

00:20:58.119 --> 00:20:59.359
 God is

00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:00.019
 an I

00:21:00.019 --> 00:21:02.599
 he is

00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:03.240
 a who

00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:04.799
 he is a

00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:05.279
 person

00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:06.779
 he is not

00:21:06.779 --> 00:21:07.259
 a what

00:21:07.259 --> 00:21:08.779
 and most

00:21:08.779 --> 00:21:09.019
 of the

00:21:09.019 --> 00:21:09.379
 religions

00:21:09.379 --> 00:21:09.679
 and

00:21:09.679 --> 00:21:10.519
 spiritualities

00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:10.879
 of the

00:21:10.879 --> 00:21:11.279
 world

00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:12.079
 conceive

00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:12.559
 of God

00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:13.179
 ultimately

00:21:13.179 --> 00:21:13.679
 as some

00:21:13.679 --> 00:21:14.099
 type of

00:21:14.099 --> 00:21:14.639
 a what

00:21:14.639 --> 00:21:15.720
 but the

00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:16.159
 Bible is

00:21:16.159 --> 00:21:16.839
 very clear

00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:17.439
 that God

00:21:17.439 --> 00:21:17.740
 is a

00:21:17.740 --> 00:21:17.939
 who

00:21:17.939 --> 00:21:18.419
 he is a

00:21:18.419 --> 00:21:19.279
 person

00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:20.500
 and the

00:21:20.500 --> 00:21:21.099
 second thing

00:21:21.099 --> 00:21:21.559
 is if you

00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:22.000
 put it up

00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:22.399
 is that the

00:21:22.399 --> 00:21:22.959
 true and

00:21:22.959 --> 00:21:23.679
 living God

00:21:23.679 --> 00:21:24.220
 and this is

00:21:24.220 --> 00:21:24.500
 where we

00:21:24.500 --> 00:21:25.000
 put in a

00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:25.319
 sense

00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:27.919
 Psalm 24

00:21:27.919 --> 00:21:28.619
 together with

00:21:28.619 --> 00:21:29.639
 Leviticus 11

00:21:29.639 --> 00:21:30.220
 and Genesis

00:21:30.220 --> 00:21:31.199
 1, 2, and 3

00:21:31.199 --> 00:21:31.859
 the true and

00:21:31.859 --> 00:21:32.399
 living God

00:21:32.399 --> 00:21:33.059
 made lots

00:21:33.059 --> 00:21:33.579
 and lots

00:21:33.579 --> 00:21:34.159
 and lots

00:21:34.159 --> 00:21:34.679
 and lots

00:21:34.679 --> 00:21:35.199
 and lots

00:21:35.199 --> 00:21:35.779
 of what

00:21:35.779 --> 00:21:37.159
 but he

00:21:37.159 --> 00:21:38.179
 only made

00:21:38.179 --> 00:21:39.379
 each human

00:21:39.379 --> 00:21:40.519
 a who

00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:43.299
 it's obvious

00:21:43.299 --> 00:21:44.480
 God likes

00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:45.059
 what

00:21:45.059 --> 00:21:46.980
 he loves

00:21:46.980 --> 00:21:49.740
 atoms

00:21:49.740 --> 00:21:53.220
 and energy

00:21:53.220 --> 00:21:54.159
 and light

00:21:54.159 --> 00:21:56.379
 and stars

00:21:56.379 --> 00:21:58.119
 and worms

00:21:58.119 --> 00:21:59.659
 and dogs

00:21:59.659 --> 00:22:02.419
 and wood

00:22:02.419 --> 00:22:03.299
 and he

00:22:03.299 --> 00:22:03.759
 loves it

00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:04.079
 he made

00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:04.799
 piles of

00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:05.179
 what

00:22:05.179 --> 00:22:06.579
 in fact most

00:22:06.579 --> 00:22:06.819
 of the

00:22:06.819 --> 00:22:07.399
 universe is

00:22:07.399 --> 00:22:07.720
 what

00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:09.480
 but out of

00:22:09.480 --> 00:22:09.940
 all of the

00:22:09.940 --> 00:22:10.440
 universe

00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:11.139
 he made

00:22:11.139 --> 00:22:11.659
 each human

00:22:11.659 --> 00:22:12.039
 being

00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:12.519
 a who

00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:14.500
 and that

00:22:14.500 --> 00:22:14.960
 is why

00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:15.579
 I can

00:22:15.579 --> 00:22:16.039
 speak

00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:17.240
 to God

00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:18.720
 as a

00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:18.940
 who

00:22:18.940 --> 00:22:19.920
 and he

00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:20.400
 can speak

00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:20.920
 to me

00:22:20.920 --> 00:22:22.680
 as a

00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:22.940
 who

00:22:22.940 --> 00:22:25.380
 the second

00:22:25.380 --> 00:22:25.799
 thing we

00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:26.200
 see

00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:27.200
 actually

00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:27.500
 Claire

00:22:27.500 --> 00:22:27.860
 could you

00:22:27.860 --> 00:22:28.319
 flip back

00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:29.220
 to 1145

00:22:29.220 --> 00:22:29.900
 thanks

00:22:29.900 --> 00:22:30.759
 for I am

00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:31.100
 the Lord

00:22:31.100 --> 00:22:31.480
 who brought

00:22:31.480 --> 00:22:31.779
 you up

00:22:31.779 --> 00:22:32.039
 out of the

00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:32.360
 land of

00:22:32.360 --> 00:22:32.579
 Egypt

00:22:32.579 --> 00:22:32.880
 to be

00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:33.279
 your God

00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:33.680
 you shall

00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:34.100
 therefore

00:22:34.100 --> 00:22:34.720
 be holy

00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:35.100
 for I

00:22:35.100 --> 00:22:35.240
 am

00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:35.539
 holy

00:22:35.539 --> 00:22:35.700
 well

00:22:35.700 --> 00:22:35.960
 what does

00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:36.079
 it

00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:36.220
 mean

00:22:36.220 --> 00:22:36.600
 for God

00:22:36.600 --> 00:22:36.860
 to be

00:22:36.860 --> 00:22:37.140
 holy

00:22:37.140 --> 00:22:38.680
 big books

00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:38.900
 written

00:22:38.900 --> 00:22:39.180
 on it

00:22:39.180 --> 00:22:39.539
 but very

00:22:39.539 --> 00:22:39.779
 very

00:22:39.779 --> 00:22:40.319
 simple

00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:41.139
 there's

00:22:41.139 --> 00:22:41.379
 two

00:22:41.379 --> 00:22:41.859
 basic

00:22:41.859 --> 00:22:42.539
 ideas

00:22:42.539 --> 00:22:43.899
 the first

00:22:43.899 --> 00:22:44.279
 is

00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:45.480
 that he

00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:45.799
 is

00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:47.240
 set

00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:47.599
 apart

00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:48.659
 and the

00:22:48.659 --> 00:22:48.899
 third

00:22:48.899 --> 00:22:49.439
 the second

00:22:49.439 --> 00:22:49.819
 thing is

00:22:49.819 --> 00:22:50.079
 that he's

00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:50.539
 completely

00:22:50.539 --> 00:22:50.960
 and utterly

00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:51.619
 himself

00:22:51.619 --> 00:22:52.119
 and set

00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:52.439
 apart

00:22:52.439 --> 00:22:53.619
 now this

00:22:53.619 --> 00:22:54.079
 is this

00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:54.299
 is going

00:22:54.299 --> 00:22:54.539
 to be

00:22:54.539 --> 00:22:55.039
 very

00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:55.539
 important

00:22:55.539 --> 00:22:55.919
 and it's

00:22:55.919 --> 00:22:56.399
 part of

00:22:56.399 --> 00:22:57.319
 the in a

00:22:57.319 --> 00:22:57.740
 sense the

00:22:57.740 --> 00:22:58.559
 subtext of

00:22:58.559 --> 00:22:58.899
 the book

00:22:58.899 --> 00:22:59.599
 of Leviticus

00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:00.079
 which we

00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:00.460
 don't really

00:23:00.460 --> 00:23:01.519
 get unless

00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:02.019
 we think

00:23:02.019 --> 00:23:02.379
 of the

00:23:02.379 --> 00:23:02.859
 the

00:23:02.859 --> 00:23:04.619
 contrast

00:23:04.619 --> 00:23:05.799
 or maybe a

00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:06.059
 better way

00:23:06.059 --> 00:23:06.460
 to put it

00:23:06.460 --> 00:23:07.099
 is how

00:23:07.099 --> 00:23:07.379
 do we

00:23:07.379 --> 00:23:07.859
 naturally

00:23:07.859 --> 00:23:08.419
 think of

00:23:08.419 --> 00:23:08.779
 holy

00:23:08.779 --> 00:23:09.240
 as

00:23:09.240 --> 00:23:09.759
 Canadians

00:23:09.759 --> 00:23:11.459
 and what

00:23:11.459 --> 00:23:11.919
 most

00:23:11.919 --> 00:23:13.259
 religions

00:23:13.259 --> 00:23:14.659
 and most

00:23:14.659 --> 00:23:15.459
 spiritualities

00:23:15.459 --> 00:23:15.779
 and most

00:23:15.779 --> 00:23:16.359
 ideologies

00:23:16.359 --> 00:23:16.859
 in a sense

00:23:16.859 --> 00:23:17.500
 the natural

00:23:17.500 --> 00:23:18.139
 way for us

00:23:18.139 --> 00:23:18.479
 as human

00:23:18.479 --> 00:23:18.979
 beings to

00:23:18.979 --> 00:23:19.399
 think

00:23:19.399 --> 00:23:20.519
 is something

00:23:20.519 --> 00:23:20.979
 along the

00:23:20.979 --> 00:23:21.319
 line of

00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:21.699
 a chain

00:23:21.699 --> 00:23:22.219
 of being

00:23:22.219 --> 00:23:23.299
 and at

00:23:23.299 --> 00:23:23.819
 the top

00:23:23.819 --> 00:23:24.179
 there's

00:23:24.179 --> 00:23:24.619
 like some

00:23:24.619 --> 00:23:25.079
 type of

00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:25.579
 God

00:23:25.579 --> 00:23:26.659
 and then

00:23:26.659 --> 00:23:26.979
 I don't

00:23:26.979 --> 00:23:27.139
 know

00:23:27.139 --> 00:23:27.359
 you know

00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:27.599
 there's

00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:27.899
 different

00:23:27.899 --> 00:23:28.240
 levels

00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:28.819
 of beings

00:23:28.819 --> 00:23:29.259
 you know

00:23:29.259 --> 00:23:29.839
 maybe there's

00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:30.359
 angels

00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:30.919
 or something

00:23:30.919 --> 00:23:31.479
 like that

00:23:31.479 --> 00:23:31.839
 and then

00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:32.139
 there's

00:23:32.139 --> 00:23:32.299
 the

00:23:32.299 --> 00:23:33.139
 but that's

00:23:33.139 --> 00:23:33.439
 all the

00:23:33.439 --> 00:23:33.679
 world

00:23:33.679 --> 00:23:34.319
 of spirit

00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:34.879
 so there's

00:23:34.879 --> 00:23:35.419
 like God

00:23:35.419 --> 00:23:35.699
 and then

00:23:35.699 --> 00:23:35.899
 there's

00:23:35.899 --> 00:23:36.279
 the world

00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:36.899
 of spirit

00:23:36.899 --> 00:23:37.240
 or the

00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:37.500
 world

00:23:37.859 --> 00:23:38.179
 mind

00:23:38.179 --> 00:23:38.639
 and there's

00:23:38.639 --> 00:23:39.179
 different

00:23:39.179 --> 00:23:39.740
 types of

00:23:39.740 --> 00:23:40.240
 spirit

00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:41.019
 or spirits

00:23:41.019 --> 00:23:41.699
 or mind

00:23:41.699 --> 00:23:42.339
 or soul

00:23:42.339 --> 00:23:43.079
 and then

00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:43.439
 you come

00:23:43.439 --> 00:23:43.699
 to the

00:23:43.699 --> 00:23:44.099
 level of

00:23:44.099 --> 00:23:44.599
 matter

00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:45.079
 so to

00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:45.379
 speak

00:23:45.379 --> 00:23:46.719
 and so

00:23:46.719 --> 00:23:47.339
 what most

00:23:47.339 --> 00:23:47.919
 people think

00:23:47.919 --> 00:23:48.179
 of when

00:23:48.179 --> 00:23:48.519
 they think

00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:49.039
 of holy

00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:50.099
 is they

00:23:50.099 --> 00:23:50.579
 think of

00:23:50.579 --> 00:23:50.959
 something

00:23:50.959 --> 00:23:51.319
 like

00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:51.919
 Yellowstone

00:23:51.919 --> 00:23:52.439
 Park

00:23:52.439 --> 00:23:54.059
 only in

00:23:54.059 --> 00:23:54.519
 terms of

00:23:54.519 --> 00:23:55.679
 the levels

00:23:55.679 --> 00:23:56.299
 of being

00:23:56.299 --> 00:23:57.779
 in Yellowstone

00:23:57.779 --> 00:23:58.240
 Park

00:23:58.240 --> 00:23:59.819
 the earth's

00:23:59.819 --> 00:24:00.139
 crust

00:24:00.139 --> 00:24:00.799
 is very

00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:01.139
 very

00:24:01.139 --> 00:24:01.979
 very thin

00:24:01.980 --> 00:24:03.440
 it's

00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:03.599
 one

00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:03.700
 of

00:24:03.700 --> 00:24:03.839
 I

00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:04.059
 think

00:24:04.059 --> 00:24:04.299
 only

00:24:04.299 --> 00:24:04.599
 three

00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:05.059
 places

00:24:05.059 --> 00:24:05.279
 in

00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:05.420
 the

00:24:05.420 --> 00:24:05.799
 world

00:24:05.799 --> 00:24:06.819
 where

00:24:06.819 --> 00:24:06.980
 the

00:24:06.980 --> 00:24:07.339
 crust

00:24:07.339 --> 00:24:07.500
 of

00:24:07.500 --> 00:24:07.620
 the

00:24:07.620 --> 00:24:07.819
 earth

00:24:07.819 --> 00:24:08.000
 is

00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:08.420
 very

00:24:08.420 --> 00:24:08.759
 very

00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:08.819
 very

00:24:08.819 --> 00:24:09.640
 thin

00:24:09.640 --> 00:24:10.640
 and

00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:11.079
 all

00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:11.299
 the

00:24:11.299 --> 00:24:11.559
 stuff

00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:11.819
 that's

00:24:11.819 --> 00:24:12.120
 underneath

00:24:12.120 --> 00:24:12.440
 is

00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:12.720
 very

00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:13.299
 close

00:24:13.299 --> 00:24:13.460
 to

00:24:13.460 --> 00:24:13.620
 the

00:24:13.620 --> 00:24:14.079
 surface

00:24:14.079 --> 00:24:15.140
 and that's

00:24:15.140 --> 00:24:15.380
 why you

00:24:15.380 --> 00:24:15.740
 have the

00:24:15.740 --> 00:24:16.299
 geysers

00:24:16.299 --> 00:24:16.559
 and the

00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:17.079
 hot water

00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:17.420
 and all

00:24:17.420 --> 00:24:17.579
 those

00:24:17.579 --> 00:24:17.779
 other

00:24:17.779 --> 00:24:18.120
 types

00:24:18.120 --> 00:24:18.279
 of

00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:18.559
 things

00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:18.779
 because

00:24:18.779 --> 00:24:18.940
 the

00:24:18.940 --> 00:24:19.259
 earth's

00:24:19.259 --> 00:24:19.519
 crust

00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:19.700
 is

00:24:19.700 --> 00:24:19.980
 very

00:24:19.980 --> 00:24:20.579
 thin

00:24:20.579 --> 00:24:21.899
 and so

00:24:21.899 --> 00:24:22.339
 what

00:24:22.339 --> 00:24:22.639
 most

00:24:22.639 --> 00:24:22.940
 people

00:24:22.940 --> 00:24:23.220
 think

00:24:23.220 --> 00:24:23.379
 of

00:24:23.379 --> 00:24:23.519
 as

00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:23.940
 holy

00:24:23.940 --> 00:24:25.119
 is

00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:25.740
 those

00:24:25.740 --> 00:24:26.319
 places

00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:26.559
 or

00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:27.179
 people

00:24:27.179 --> 00:24:28.460
 where

00:24:28.460 --> 00:24:28.919
 the

00:24:28.919 --> 00:24:29.500
 division

00:24:29.500 --> 00:24:30.079
 between

00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:30.500
 the

00:24:30.500 --> 00:24:30.819
 realm

00:24:30.819 --> 00:24:31.019
 of

00:24:31.019 --> 00:24:31.559
 spirit

00:24:31.559 --> 00:24:32.779
 and

00:24:32.779 --> 00:24:32.960
 the

00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:33.299
 realm

00:24:33.299 --> 00:24:33.539
 of

00:24:33.539 --> 00:24:33.700
 the

00:24:33.700 --> 00:24:34.200
 body

00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:35.480
 that

00:24:35.480 --> 00:24:35.720
 that

00:24:35.720 --> 00:24:35.879
 is

00:24:35.879 --> 00:24:36.019
 a

00:24:36.019 --> 00:24:36.259
 very

00:24:36.259 --> 00:24:36.940
 thin

00:24:36.940 --> 00:24:37.539
 place

00:24:37.539 --> 00:24:39.339
 and

00:24:39.339 --> 00:24:39.539
 so

00:24:39.539 --> 00:24:39.740
 when

00:24:39.740 --> 00:24:39.899
 we

00:24:39.899 --> 00:24:40.119
 think

00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:40.240
 of

00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:40.379
 a

00:24:40.379 --> 00:24:40.599
 holy

00:24:40.599 --> 00:24:41.240
 person

00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:42.599
 generally

00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:43.159
 speaking

00:24:43.159 --> 00:24:43.379
 you

00:24:43.379 --> 00:24:43.700
 think

00:24:43.700 --> 00:24:43.859
 of

00:24:43.859 --> 00:24:44.299
 somebody

00:24:44.299 --> 00:24:45.059
 who's

00:24:45.059 --> 00:24:46.319
 emaciated

00:24:46.319 --> 00:24:48.099
 looks

00:24:48.099 --> 00:24:48.299
 like

00:24:48.299 --> 00:24:48.500
 they're

00:24:48.500 --> 00:24:48.879
 starving

00:24:48.879 --> 00:24:49.379
 themselves

00:24:49.379 --> 00:24:49.659
 to

00:24:49.659 --> 00:24:49.939
 death

00:24:49.939 --> 00:24:50.519
 they

00:24:50.519 --> 00:24:50.759
 look

00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:51.480
 anorexic

00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:53.039
 they

00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:53.279
 look

00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:53.559
 as if

00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:53.679
 they

00:24:53.679 --> 00:24:53.899
 don't

00:24:53.899 --> 00:24:54.240
 care

00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:54.539
 about

00:24:54.539 --> 00:24:54.859
 things

00:24:54.859 --> 00:24:55.119
 like

00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:55.719
 cleanliness

00:24:55.719 --> 00:24:56.059
 or

00:24:56.059 --> 00:24:56.500
 grooming

00:24:56.500 --> 00:24:58.699
 why

00:24:58.699 --> 00:24:59.219
 well

00:24:59.219 --> 00:24:59.480
 that

00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:00.199
 individual

00:25:00.199 --> 00:25:01.000
 you

00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:01.299
 see

00:25:01.299 --> 00:25:01.639
 if

00:25:01.639 --> 00:25:02.079
 matter

00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:02.240
 and

00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:02.559
 everything

00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:02.759
 is

00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:02.919
 sort

00:25:02.919 --> 00:25:03.039
 of

00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:03.379
 bad

00:25:03.379 --> 00:25:03.539
 and

00:25:03.539 --> 00:25:03.919
 evil

00:25:03.919 --> 00:25:04.179
 and

00:25:04.179 --> 00:25:04.359
 that

00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:04.759
 person

00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:04.959
 is

00:25:04.959 --> 00:25:05.539
 representing

00:25:05.539 --> 00:25:05.859
 that

00:25:05.859 --> 00:25:06.699
 thinness

00:25:06.699 --> 00:25:07.399
 and

00:25:07.399 --> 00:25:07.539
 then

00:25:07.539 --> 00:25:07.759
 maybe

00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:07.959
 it's

00:25:07.959 --> 00:25:08.179
 because

00:25:08.179 --> 00:25:08.379
 they

00:25:08.379 --> 00:25:08.599
 say

00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:08.779
 all

00:25:08.779 --> 00:25:09.000
 sorts

00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:09.179
 of

00:25:09.179 --> 00:25:09.519
 pithy

00:25:09.519 --> 00:25:09.819
 types

00:25:09.819 --> 00:25:10.259
 of

00:25:10.259 --> 00:25:10.740
 things

00:25:10.740 --> 00:25:11.779
 you

00:25:11.779 --> 00:25:12.019
 know

00:25:12.019 --> 00:25:12.980
 wipe

00:25:12.980 --> 00:25:13.439
 left

00:25:13.439 --> 00:25:13.919
 wipe

00:25:13.919 --> 00:25:14.439
 right

00:25:14.439 --> 00:25:15.459
 never

00:25:15.459 --> 00:25:15.740
 mind

00:25:15.740 --> 00:25:16.059
 anyway

00:25:16.059 --> 00:25:18.179
 and

00:25:18.179 --> 00:25:18.440
 the

00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:18.599
 other

00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:18.799
 thing

00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:18.919
 is

00:25:18.919 --> 00:25:19.039
 that

00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:19.200
 we

00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:19.460
 think

00:25:19.460 --> 00:25:19.619
 of

00:25:19.619 --> 00:25:19.819
 like

00:25:19.819 --> 00:25:20.299
 a

00:25:20.299 --> 00:25:20.940
 grove

00:25:20.940 --> 00:25:21.119
 of

00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:21.599
 trees

00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:21.839
 or

00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:22.059
 a

00:25:22.059 --> 00:25:22.480
 church

00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:22.720
 or

00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:22.919
 a

00:25:22.919 --> 00:25:23.259
 temple

00:25:23.259 --> 00:25:23.519
 where

00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:23.839
 everything

00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:24.079
 is

00:25:24.079 --> 00:25:24.319
 very

00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:24.899
 still

00:25:24.899 --> 00:25:25.059
 and

00:25:25.059 --> 00:25:25.240
 very

00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:25.879
 quiet

00:25:25.879 --> 00:25:26.019
 and

00:25:26.019 --> 00:25:26.139
 we

00:25:26.139 --> 00:25:26.299
 can

00:25:26.299 --> 00:25:26.679
 easily

00:25:26.679 --> 00:25:27.279
 imagine

00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:28.039
 that

00:25:28.039 --> 00:25:28.259
 the

00:25:28.259 --> 00:25:28.919
 distance

00:25:28.919 --> 00:25:29.779
 between

00:25:29.779 --> 00:25:30.679
 the

00:25:30.679 --> 00:25:31.799
 other

00:25:31.799 --> 00:25:32.299

 God

00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:27.160
 is

00:27:28.060 --> 00:27:28.320
 utterly

00:27:28.320 --> 00:27:28.960

 what

00:27:32.920 --> 00:27:33.560

00:27:36.940 --> 00:27:37.120
 the

00:27:37.120 --> 00:27:37.460
 thing

00:27:37.460 --> 00:27:37.720

00:27:45.580 --> 00:27:45.840
 minutes

00:27:45.840 --> 00:27:46.240
 you get

00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:46.500
 this

00:27:46.500 --> 00:27:46.820
 image

00:27:46.820 --> 00:27:47.060
 you've

00:27:47.060 --> 00:27:47.200
 got

00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:47.340
 the

00:27:47.340 --> 00:27:47.500
 heart

00:27:47.500 --> 00:27:47.600
 of

00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:48.019
 sermon

00:27:48.019 --> 00:27:50.460

 what

00:27:50.940 --> 00:27:51.600
 is it

 way

00:27:54.100 --> 00:27:54.200
 to

 the

00:27:54.360 --> 00:27:54.680
 airport

00:27:54.680 --> 00:27:55.460
 desperately

00:27:55.460 --> 00:27:56.140
 want

00:27:56.140 --> 00:27:57.580
 they

00:27:57.580 --> 00:27:58.039
 want

00:27:58.039 --> 00:27:58.400
 to be

00:27:58.400 --> 00:27:58.779
 set

00:27:58.779 --> 00:27:59.400
 aside

00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:00.200
 and

00:28:01.200 --> 00:28:01.759
 airport

00:28:01.759 --> 00:28:03.140
 for

00:28:03.140 --> 00:28:03.619
 freedom

00:28:03.619 --> 00:28:05.579
 they want

 to be

00:28:05.940 --> 00:28:06.700
 delivered

00:28:08.259 --> 00:28:08.640
 want to be

00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:09.140
 people who

00:28:09.140 --> 00:28:09.640
 are still

00:28:09.640 --> 00:28:10.200
 caught

00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:11.039
 in the

00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:11.599
 terrible

00:28:11.599 --> 00:28:12.259
 mess

00:28:12.259 --> 00:28:13.440
 of a

 Afghanistan

00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:17.079
 they are

00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:17.599
 hoping

00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:19.920
 that some

00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:20.599
 soldier

00:28:20.599 --> 00:28:21.039
 some

00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:21.779
 bureaucrat

00:28:21.779 --> 00:28:22.119
 some

00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:22.640
 person

00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:23.140
 will look

00:28:23.140 --> 00:28:23.460
 at what

00:28:23.460 --> 00:28:24.079
 they hold

00:28:24.079 --> 00:28:24.539
 and will

00:28:24.539 --> 00:28:25.500
 do this

00:28:25.500 --> 00:28:26.579
 and they

00:28:26.579 --> 00:28:27.039
 will be

00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:27.420
 set

00:28:27.420 --> 00:28:27.900
 aside

00:28:27.900 --> 00:28:28.359
 from the

00:28:28.359 --> 00:28:28.839
 crowd

00:28:28.839 --> 00:28:29.559
 to come

00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:30.099
 into the

00:28:30.099 --> 00:28:30.619
 airport

00:28:30.619 --> 00:28:32.559
 to be

00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:33.059
 taken under

00:28:33.059 --> 00:28:33.680
 the care

00:28:35.940 --> 00:28:36.480
 powers

00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:39.720
 my mom

00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:40.039
 and dad

00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:40.680
 are immigrants

00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:42.200
 Louise's

00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:42.579
 father

00:28:42.579 --> 00:28:43.460
 was a

00:28:43.460 --> 00:28:44.000
 basically

00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:44.680
 a refugee

00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:46.779
 her

 mom's

00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:49.180
 parents

00:28:49.180 --> 00:28:51.039
 were

00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:51.660
 immigrants

00:28:51.660 --> 00:28:53.620
 Louise's

00:28:53.620 --> 00:28:54.040
 father

00:28:54.040 --> 00:28:54.680
 did not

00:28:54.680 --> 00:28:55.220
 come to

00:28:55.220 --> 00:28:55.620
 Canada

00:28:55.620 --> 00:28:56.460
 because he

00:28:56.460 --> 00:28:57.180
 thought Canada

00:28:57.180 --> 00:28:57.880
 wanted more

00:28:57.880 --> 00:28:58.740
 Polish people

00:28:58.740 --> 00:29:00.740
 he came to

00:29:00.740 --> 00:29:01.500
 Canada because

00:29:01.500 --> 00:29:02.060
 he believed

00:29:02.060 --> 00:29:02.580
 that Canada

00:29:02.580 --> 00:29:03.360
 wanted more

00:29:03.360 --> 00:29:03.960
 Canadians

00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:08.660
 my parents

00:29:08.660 --> 00:29:09.180
 came to

00:29:09.180 --> 00:29:09.800
 Canada because

00:29:09.800 --> 00:29:10.460
 they believed

00:29:10.460 --> 00:29:10.900
 that Canada

00:29:10.900 --> 00:29:11.500
 wanted more

00:29:11.500 --> 00:29:12.000
 Canadians

00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:14.040
 and you see

00:29:14.040 --> 00:29:14.420
 at the very

00:29:14.420 --> 00:29:15.040
 heart of this

00:29:15.040 --> 00:29:15.680
 idea of

00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:16.000
 holy

00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:16.660
 listen to the

00:29:16.660 --> 00:29:17.279
 text again

 for I am

00:29:19.039 --> 00:29:19.420
 the Lord

00:29:19.420 --> 00:29:19.879
 who brought

00:29:19.879 --> 00:29:20.220
 you up

00:29:20.220 --> 00:29:20.420
 out of

00:29:20.420 --> 00:29:20.779
 the land

00:29:20.779 --> 00:29:21.160
 of Egypt

00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:21.500
 to be

00:29:21.500 --> 00:29:22.059
 your God

00:29:22.059 --> 00:29:22.460
 you shall

00:29:22.460 --> 00:29:22.819
 therefore

00:29:22.819 --> 00:29:23.460
 be holy

00:29:23.460 --> 00:29:23.839
 for I

00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:24.379
 am holy

00:29:24.379 --> 00:29:25.059
 at the

00:29:25.059 --> 00:29:25.339
 heart of

00:29:25.339 --> 00:29:25.819
 this idea

00:29:25.819 --> 00:29:26.399
 of holy

00:29:26.399 --> 00:29:26.799
 is that

00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:27.180
 not only

00:29:27.180 --> 00:29:27.559
 has God

00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:28.039
 redeemed

00:29:28.039 --> 00:29:28.220
 you

00:29:28.220 --> 00:29:28.539
 which we

00:29:28.539 --> 00:29:28.799
 need to

00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:28.940
 do

00:29:28.940 --> 00:29:29.180
 away

00:29:29.180 --> 00:29:29.420
 from

00:29:29.420 --> 00:29:29.720
 evil

00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:30.259
 but

00:29:30.259 --> 00:29:30.440
 that

00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:30.799
 God

00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:31.559
 sets

00:29:31.559 --> 00:29:32.240
 people

00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:32.920
 aside

00:29:32.920 --> 00:29:33.480
 for

00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:34.099
 himself

00:29:34.099 --> 00:29:34.799
 for

00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:35.099

00:31:36.660 --> 00:31:37.099
 aside

00:31:37.099 --> 00:31:37.319
 to

00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:37.980
 transfer

00:31:37.980 --> 00:31:38.420
 you

00:31:38.420 --> 00:31:39.240
 from

00:31:39.240 --> 00:31:39.440
 in a

00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:39.640
 sense

00:31:39.640 --> 00:31:39.839
 the

00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:40.079
 kingdom

00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:40.259
 of

00:31:40.259 --> 00:31:40.380
 the

00:31:40.380 --> 00:31:40.660
 world

00:31:40.660 --> 00:31:40.819
 and

00:31:40.819 --> 00:31:40.960
 the

00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:41.180
 kingdom

00:31:41.180 --> 00:31:41.400
 of

00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:41.720
 death

00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:42.000
 into

00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:42.200
 his

00:31:42.200 --> 00:31:42.460
 own

00:31:42.460 --> 00:31:42.940
 kingdom

00:31:42.940 --> 00:31:44.599
 and

00:31:44.599 --> 00:31:44.700
 to

00:31:44.700 --> 00:31:44.799
 be

00:31:44.799 --> 00:31:45.019
 his

00:31:45.019 --> 00:31:45.519
 treasured

00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:46.000
 possession

00:31:46.000 --> 00:31:49.279
 it's

00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:49.440
 going to

00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:49.660
 become

00:31:49.660 --> 00:31:49.920
 more

00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:50.339
 obvious

00:31:50.339 --> 00:31:50.619
 in the

00:31:50.619 --> 00:31:50.779
 very

00:31:50.779 --> 00:31:51.079
 next

00:31:51.079 --> 00:31:51.539
 text

00:31:51.539 --> 00:31:51.759
 from

00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:52.299
 Leviticus

00:31:52.299 --> 00:31:54.359
 to

00:31:54.359 --> 00:31:55.000
 but

00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:55.139
 the

00:31:55.139 --> 00:31:55.419
 world

00:31:55.419 --> 00:31:55.579
 is

00:31:55.579 --> 00:31:55.879
 always

00:31:55.879 --> 00:31:56.379
 beckoning

00:31:56.379 --> 00:31:56.759
 us

00:31:56.759 --> 00:31:57.759
 we

00:31:57.759 --> 00:31:57.940
 as

00:31:57.940 --> 00:31:58.419
 Christians

00:31:58.419 --> 00:31:58.839
 I've

00:31:58.839 --> 00:31:58.980
 had

00:31:58.980 --> 00:32:00.240
 some

00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:00.720
 it's

00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:00.859
 not

00:32:00.859 --> 00:32:01.159
 been

00:32:01.159 --> 00:32:01.299
 a

00:32:01.299 --> 00:32:01.519
 hard

00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:01.779
 thing

00:32:01.779 --> 00:32:02.039
 for

00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:02.180
 me

00:32:02.180 --> 00:32:02.339
 but

00:32:02.339 --> 00:32:02.559
 I've

00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:02.740
 had

00:32:02.740 --> 00:32:03.059
 people

00:32:03.059 --> 00:32:03.259
 on

00:32:03.259 --> 00:32:03.579
 one

00:32:03.579 --> 00:32:04.039
 side

00:32:04.039 --> 00:32:04.700
 who

00:32:04.700 --> 00:32:04.859
 would

00:32:04.859 --> 00:32:05.279
 definitely

00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:05.639
 like

00:32:05.639 --> 00:32:05.819
 me

00:32:05.819 --> 00:32:06.019
 to

00:32:06.019 --> 00:32:06.539
 embrace

00:32:06.539 --> 00:32:06.819
 the

00:32:06.819 --> 00:32:07.339
 ultimate

00:32:07.339 --> 00:32:09.039
 paranoia

00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:09.680
 of

00:32:09.680 --> 00:32:09.819
 the

00:32:09.819 --> 00:32:10.139
 most

00:32:10.139 --> 00:32:10.859
 paranoid

00:32:10.859 --> 00:32:11.519
 in

00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:11.779
 our

00:32:11.779 --> 00:32:12.359
 society

00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:12.700
 around

00:32:12.700 --> 00:32:13.039
 COVID

00:32:13.039 --> 00:32:13.500
 19

00:32:13.500 --> 00:32:14.399
 and

00:32:14.399 --> 00:32:14.539
 I

00:32:14.539 --> 00:32:14.759
 have

00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:14.980
 had

00:32:14.980 --> 00:32:15.339
 people

00:32:15.339 --> 00:32:15.519
 who

00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:15.619
 have

00:32:15.619 --> 00:32:15.859
 left

00:32:15.859 --> 00:32:16.119
 the

00:32:16.119 --> 00:32:16.559
 church

00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:17.359
 because

00:32:17.359 --> 00:32:17.700
 I

00:32:17.700 --> 00:32:17.879
 have

00:32:17.879 --> 00:32:18.159
 not

00:32:18.159 --> 00:32:18.740
 said

00:32:18.740 --> 00:32:18.899
 that

00:32:18.899 --> 00:32:19.039
 we

00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:19.180
 as

00:32:19.180 --> 00:32:19.319
 a

00:32:19.319 --> 00:32:19.519
 church

00:32:19.519 --> 00:32:19.700
 will

00:32:19.700 --> 00:32:19.859
 be

00:32:19.859 --> 00:32:20.220
 united

00:32:22.299 --> 00:32:23.879
 and refusing to wear masks.

00:32:24.379 --> 00:32:25.339
 The fact of the matter is,

00:32:25.379 --> 00:32:27.899
 is that there's political ideologies that want,

00:32:28.220 --> 00:32:31.220
 that call and beckon me to leave the gospel

00:32:31.220 --> 00:32:33.359
 and embrace the political cause.

00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:37.519
 And whether or not it's the call to embrace racism,

00:32:37.899 --> 00:32:40.500
 or whether it's the call to embrace critical theory,

00:32:40.659 --> 00:32:45.279
 or whether it's the call to embrace materialism and consumerism,

00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:46.960
 or the might of empire,

00:32:47.460 --> 00:32:50.259
 or the shame of our complete and utter culture,

00:32:50.259 --> 00:32:52.259
 or whatever it is,

00:32:52.500 --> 00:32:55.700
 the world is always calling us to allow it,

00:32:55.779 --> 00:32:58.460
 to set us aside for its purposes and its mission.

00:32:59.259 --> 00:33:03.019
 Just as people going through Afghanistan

00:33:03.019 --> 00:33:07.160
 are always worried,

00:33:09.299 --> 00:33:12.299
 well, they're hoping that they can make it to the Kabul airport

00:33:12.299 --> 00:33:16.460
 so that they will be set aside and allowed to enter.

00:33:16.460 --> 00:33:18.539
 And they're worried that at a challenge,

00:33:18.700 --> 00:33:19.579
 at a checkpoint,

00:33:19.579 --> 00:33:22.579
 the Taliban will tap them on the shoulder

00:33:22.579 --> 00:33:23.740
 and say,

00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:24.879
 come aside.

00:33:26.659 --> 00:33:27.699
 If that happened to me,

00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:28.619
 I'd wet my pants.

00:33:32.779 --> 00:33:34.379
 And so in a world

00:33:34.379 --> 00:33:36.859
 where the idols of the world

00:33:36.859 --> 00:33:39.359
 are constantly beckoning us

00:33:39.359 --> 00:33:40.460
 to be set aside,

00:33:40.759 --> 00:33:42.000
 hear their call,

00:33:42.259 --> 00:33:44.299
 and to be set aside for their purposes,

00:33:44.539 --> 00:33:45.240
 their mission,

00:33:45.699 --> 00:33:46.539
 their glory,

00:33:46.539 --> 00:33:48.319
 in such a world,

00:33:48.539 --> 00:33:49.819
 God,

00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:51.099
 in the person of Jesus

00:33:51.099 --> 00:33:52.139
 and in his word,

00:33:52.139 --> 00:33:53.879
 is calling you

00:33:53.879 --> 00:33:54.599
 and saying

00:33:54.599 --> 00:33:56.960
 to leave the idols of the world,

00:33:56.960 --> 00:33:58.799
 the doom that you have

00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:00.019
 because you will die,

00:34:00.740 --> 00:34:01.700
 to leave that

00:34:01.700 --> 00:34:02.779
 and set that aside,

00:34:02.920 --> 00:34:03.539
 to leave

00:34:03.539 --> 00:34:04.799
 all smells

00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:05.980
 and all hint

00:34:05.980 --> 00:34:06.839
 of brimstone

00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:07.519
 and sulfur,

00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:09.800
 because there is a great Savior

00:34:09.800 --> 00:34:10.699
 and Deliverer

00:34:10.699 --> 00:34:12.079
 who's died for you

00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:13.519
 to redeem you

00:34:13.519 --> 00:34:14.840
 so that if you

00:34:14.840 --> 00:34:16.000
 heed his call

00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:16.799
 and say yes,

00:34:17.019 --> 00:34:18.239
 he will take you

00:34:18.239 --> 00:34:19.719
 and set you aside

00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:21.679
 to be his beloved child,

00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:23.219
 his precious possession,

00:34:23.539 --> 00:34:24.480
 to be holy.

00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:28.619
 And he is not calling you

00:34:28.619 --> 00:34:29.400
 because he wants

00:34:29.400 --> 00:34:30.199
 more Canadians

00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:31.380
 or more rich people

00:34:31.380 --> 00:34:32.719
 or more poor people

00:34:32.719 --> 00:34:34.099
 or more handicapped

00:34:34.099 --> 00:34:36.579
 or more mightily athletic

00:34:36.579 --> 00:34:37.500
 or brilliant

00:34:37.500 --> 00:34:38.380
 or gay

00:34:38.380 --> 00:34:39.240
 or straight.

00:34:39.400 --> 00:34:40.559
 He's not calling you

00:34:40.559 --> 00:34:41.240
 because he wants

00:34:41.240 --> 00:34:42.139
 more of them.

00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:44.360
 He calls you

00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:45.179
 because he wants

00:34:45.179 --> 00:34:46.300
 more of his children

00:34:46.300 --> 00:34:48.760
 where we get

00:34:48.760 --> 00:34:49.400
 a new identity.

00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:55.280
 just as that baby

00:34:55.280 --> 00:34:56.139
 that goes over

00:34:56.139 --> 00:34:57.700
 and is accepted

00:34:57.700 --> 00:34:58.559
 and eventually

00:34:58.559 --> 00:34:59.639
 goes to Germany

00:34:59.639 --> 00:35:00.420
 or France

00:35:00.420 --> 00:35:00.980
 or the UK

00:35:00.980 --> 00:35:02.599
 or United States

00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:03.139
 will learn

00:35:03.139 --> 00:35:03.780
 how to live

00:35:03.780 --> 00:35:04.660
 within that country

00:35:04.660 --> 00:35:05.160
 within,

00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:06.840
 with its language

00:35:06.840 --> 00:35:07.720
 and its culture,

00:35:08.260 --> 00:35:09.180
 so it is

00:35:09.180 --> 00:35:09.840
 that when we give

00:35:09.840 --> 00:35:10.840
 our lives to Christ

00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:11.700
 and we are set aside

00:35:11.700 --> 00:35:12.200
 for him,

00:35:12.900 --> 00:35:14.559
 we learn the language

00:35:14.559 --> 00:35:15.200
 of grace

00:35:15.200 --> 00:35:16.039
 and of mercy

00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:16.860
 and of justice

00:35:16.860 --> 00:35:18.059
 and of peace

00:35:18.059 --> 00:35:19.659
 of the importance

00:35:19.659 --> 00:35:21.119
 of truth over lies,

00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:23.639
 justice over injustice,

00:35:23.900 --> 00:35:25.619
 mercy over cruelty,

00:35:26.079 --> 00:35:27.279
 goodness over evil,

00:35:28.599 --> 00:35:30.539
 peace over conflict,

00:35:31.360 --> 00:35:32.940
 love over hate,

00:35:35.159 --> 00:35:37.500
 flourishing over diminishment,

00:35:38.279 --> 00:35:40.460
 respect over belittlement,

00:35:41.599 --> 00:35:42.940
 that God sets us aside

00:35:42.940 --> 00:35:43.559
 in his kingdom

00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:44.239
 to be holy

00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:45.279
 like he is holy

00:35:45.279 --> 00:35:47.219
 so that we will breathe

00:35:47.219 --> 00:35:47.900
 his air

00:35:47.900 --> 00:35:50.059
 and eat his food

00:35:50.059 --> 00:35:53.099
 and drink his drink

00:35:53.099 --> 00:35:55.840
 and learn his language

00:35:55.840 --> 00:35:58.619
 and learn his culture

00:35:58.619 --> 00:36:00.280
 and see the world

00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:01.139
 for what it is

00:36:01.139 --> 00:36:03.700
 and to react

00:36:03.700 --> 00:36:04.220
 to the world

00:36:04.220 --> 00:36:05.099
 not with hatred,

00:36:05.340 --> 00:36:06.320
 not with despair,

00:36:06.539 --> 00:36:07.880
 not with despising,

00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:10.200
 but with love

00:36:10.200 --> 00:36:11.880
 and with prayer

00:36:11.880 --> 00:36:13.579
 and with pressing forward.

00:36:13.579 --> 00:36:17.099
 If you could put up

00:36:17.099 --> 00:36:18.099
 the next text,

00:36:18.279 --> 00:36:19.699
 let's turn to Leviticus chapter,

00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:20.559
 I have to sort of

00:36:20.559 --> 00:36:21.659
 wind this up very quickly,

00:36:21.819 --> 00:36:22.819
 Leviticus 22

00:36:22.819 --> 00:36:24.900
 verses 31 to 33.

00:36:27.699 --> 00:36:29.239
 See, here's the other type

00:36:29.239 --> 00:36:30.460
 of thing within the text

00:36:30.460 --> 00:36:31.699
 is that the Lord

00:36:31.699 --> 00:36:32.579
 reveals himself

00:36:32.579 --> 00:36:33.340
 as personal,

00:36:34.159 --> 00:36:35.259
 he reveals himself

00:36:35.259 --> 00:36:35.880
 as holy,

00:36:36.019 --> 00:36:36.779
 which means that he's

00:36:36.779 --> 00:36:37.639
 completely different

00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:38.639
 than everything else,

00:36:38.940 --> 00:36:40.239
 he's always completely

00:36:40.239 --> 00:36:41.199
 and utterly himself

00:36:41.199 --> 00:36:42.959
 and he calls us

00:36:42.959 --> 00:36:43.619
 to be holy

00:36:43.619 --> 00:36:44.919
 and to be holy

00:36:44.919 --> 00:36:46.239
 means that we will be

00:36:46.239 --> 00:36:47.319
 set apart for him

00:36:47.319 --> 00:36:48.579
 and in a very,

00:36:48.739 --> 00:36:49.659
 very odd way

00:36:49.659 --> 00:36:50.599
 as we're set apart

00:36:50.599 --> 00:36:51.099
 for him,

00:36:51.179 --> 00:36:52.319
 we become ourselves.

00:36:53.779 --> 00:36:55.119
 Just as God's holiness

00:36:55.119 --> 00:36:55.899
 means that God

00:36:55.899 --> 00:36:56.719
 is himself

00:36:56.719 --> 00:37:00.859
 in this profound mystery,

00:37:00.860 --> 00:37:03.180
 when we give up

00:37:03.180 --> 00:37:05.480
 our other ambitions

00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:06.760
 and allow him

00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:07.579
 to set us aside

00:37:07.579 --> 00:37:08.019
 for himself,

00:37:08.099 --> 00:37:08.960
 we become ourself.

00:37:09.599 --> 00:37:09.740
 You know,

00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:10.380
 it's just like

00:37:10.380 --> 00:37:12.519
 the moon is the moon

00:37:12.519 --> 00:37:14.900
 because it circles

00:37:14.900 --> 00:37:15.840
 the earth.

00:37:17.860 --> 00:37:19.019
 If the moon was ever

00:37:19.019 --> 00:37:20.820
 to break its gravitational hold

00:37:20.820 --> 00:37:22.099
 and stop circling the earth,

00:37:22.180 --> 00:37:22.860
 it would just become

00:37:22.860 --> 00:37:23.340
 a comet

00:37:23.340 --> 00:37:24.500
 that would move

00:37:24.500 --> 00:37:26.940
 to its eventual demise.

00:37:28.300 --> 00:37:29.300
 But as the moon

00:37:29.300 --> 00:37:30.340
 circling the sun,

00:37:30.340 --> 00:37:31.500
 it's itself.

00:37:32.440 --> 00:37:33.260
 In the same way,

00:37:33.340 --> 00:37:34.140
 we weren't meant

00:37:34.140 --> 00:37:35.940
 to be our own bosses,

00:37:36.059 --> 00:37:36.780
 our own gods.

00:37:36.820 --> 00:37:37.980
 We just become comets

00:37:37.980 --> 00:37:38.860
 that will flame out

00:37:38.860 --> 00:37:39.400
 and die.

00:37:43.320 --> 00:37:44.840
 And this profound mystery

00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:45.940
 is we allow God

00:37:45.940 --> 00:37:46.880
 to set us aside

00:37:46.880 --> 00:37:47.559
 for himself,

00:37:48.640 --> 00:37:51.480
 knowing that he is himself

00:37:51.480 --> 00:37:52.280
 and no other.

00:37:53.460 --> 00:37:54.900
 In a mystery of grace,

00:37:55.420 --> 00:37:56.620
 he begins to make you

00:37:56.620 --> 00:37:57.440
 and me more like

00:37:57.440 --> 00:37:58.480
 what we really are

00:37:58.480 --> 00:37:59.900
 in our uniqueness.

00:38:00.340 --> 00:38:02.160
 I haven't used this analogy

00:38:02.160 --> 00:38:02.980
 in a long time,

00:38:03.320 --> 00:38:04.640
 but if you go into a room

00:38:04.640 --> 00:38:05.480
 of people who are all

00:38:05.480 --> 00:38:06.440
 stoned or drunk,

00:38:07.220 --> 00:38:08.800
 their differences diminish.

00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:11.160
 If you go into a room

00:38:11.160 --> 00:38:12.559
 where people aren't stoned

00:38:12.559 --> 00:38:13.120
 or drunk,

00:38:13.780 --> 00:38:14.820
 then you notice

00:38:14.820 --> 00:38:17.320
 more the peculiarities

00:38:17.320 --> 00:38:18.320
 of their personality

00:38:18.320 --> 00:38:19.420
 and their sense of humor

00:38:19.420 --> 00:38:21.120
 and their wit.

00:38:22.460 --> 00:38:22.860
 You see,

00:38:22.980 --> 00:38:24.519
 sin and evil

00:38:24.519 --> 00:38:25.900
 always diminish us

00:38:25.900 --> 00:38:27.599
 and goodness

00:38:27.599 --> 00:38:28.860
 and grace elevate us.

00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:31.160
 But look at this text here.

00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:32.200
 So you shall keep

00:38:32.200 --> 00:38:32.940
 my commandments

00:38:32.940 --> 00:38:33.639
 and do them

00:38:33.639 --> 00:38:34.559
 for I am the Lord

00:38:34.559 --> 00:38:36.420
 and you shall not profane

00:38:36.420 --> 00:38:37.320
 my holy name

00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:38.980
 that I may be sanctified

00:38:38.980 --> 00:38:40.240
 among the people of Israel.

00:38:40.780 --> 00:38:41.660
 I am the Lord

00:38:41.660 --> 00:38:43.059
 who sanctifies you,

00:38:43.619 --> 00:38:44.700
 who brought you

00:38:44.700 --> 00:38:46.059
 out of the land of Egypt

00:38:46.059 --> 00:38:47.059
 to be your God.

00:38:47.320 --> 00:38:48.200
 I am the Lord.

00:38:48.460 --> 00:38:48.660
 See,

00:38:48.720 --> 00:38:49.920
 here's this great mystery

00:38:49.920 --> 00:38:50.559
 of redemption

00:38:50.559 --> 00:38:52.400
 is the Lord

00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:53.579
 who sets me aside.

00:38:53.679 --> 00:38:54.340
 When I, in a sense,

00:38:54.380 --> 00:38:54.539
 say,

00:38:54.599 --> 00:38:54.840
 Jesus,

00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:56.900
 I want you to be my Savior.

00:38:57.000 --> 00:38:58.320
 I trust you to be my Savior.

00:38:58.679 --> 00:38:59.799
 I can't reach Him.

00:38:59.880 --> 00:39:00.619
 He reaches me.

00:39:00.719 --> 00:39:01.840
 He takes my hand.

00:39:02.199 --> 00:39:03.000
 He covers me

00:39:03.000 --> 00:39:03.880
 with His righteousness.

00:39:04.400 --> 00:39:05.199
 He is the one

00:39:05.199 --> 00:39:07.719
 whose death upon the cross

00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:09.539
 covers all of my wrongdoing

00:39:09.539 --> 00:39:10.480
 and all of my sin

00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:11.699
 from the moment of my birth

00:39:11.699 --> 00:39:12.880
 to the moment of my death.

00:39:13.380 --> 00:39:13.619
 So I,

00:39:13.779 --> 00:39:14.420
 both the,

00:39:14.779 --> 00:39:16.519
 there's a just dealing

00:39:16.519 --> 00:39:18.000
 with all the wrong I've done

00:39:18.000 --> 00:39:19.400
 because He takes my place

00:39:19.400 --> 00:39:20.639
 and I'm covered with His righteousness

00:39:20.639 --> 00:39:21.760
 and He takes me

00:39:21.760 --> 00:39:23.019
 and sets me aside

00:39:23.019 --> 00:39:24.440
 as His own

00:39:24.440 --> 00:39:25.940
 and I am on one level

00:39:25.940 --> 00:39:27.559
 called to give 100%

00:39:27.559 --> 00:39:28.599
 of seeking to be holy,

00:39:28.780 --> 00:39:29.880
 always mindful

00:39:29.880 --> 00:39:31.539
 that I am only growing

00:39:31.539 --> 00:39:32.360
 into what God

00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:33.680
 has already called me

00:39:33.680 --> 00:39:34.720
 and destined me to

00:39:34.720 --> 00:39:35.380
 in His Son

00:39:35.380 --> 00:39:36.740
 and at the end of the day

00:39:36.740 --> 00:39:37.900
 it is only God

00:39:37.900 --> 00:39:38.900
 who makes me holy.

00:39:40.920 --> 00:39:41.980
 All of these texts

00:39:41.980 --> 00:39:42.539
 are pointing,

00:39:44.920 --> 00:39:46.320
 all of these texts

00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:47.980
 are telling our Jewish friends

00:39:47.980 --> 00:39:49.059
 and pointing to the day

00:39:49.059 --> 00:39:49.619
 they say,

00:39:49.820 --> 00:39:51.619
 you deal with the lamb,

00:39:51.739 --> 00:39:52.699
 you kill the bull,

00:39:52.860 --> 00:39:53.940
 you kill the cow

00:39:53.940 --> 00:39:55.639
 and it deals with the sins

00:39:55.639 --> 00:39:56.900
 that you perform today

00:39:56.900 --> 00:39:58.940
 but if you take these texts

00:39:58.940 --> 00:40:00.099
 at their great depth

00:40:00.099 --> 00:40:02.139
 you realize that God Himself

00:40:02.139 --> 00:40:04.619
 must provide some greater sacrifice

00:40:04.619 --> 00:40:06.400
 that will one day have to come

00:40:06.400 --> 00:40:09.079
 for which all of these small sacrifices

00:40:09.079 --> 00:40:10.920
 are but a hint

00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:12.719
 and a foretaste and a pointer

00:40:12.719 --> 00:40:14.559
 and when Jesus appears,

00:40:14.719 --> 00:40:16.059
 John the Baptist says,

00:40:16.059 --> 00:40:18.340
 behold the lamb of God

00:40:18.340 --> 00:40:19.480
 who takes away

00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:20.840
 the sin of the world

00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:22.440
 and all of the promises

00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:23.519
 of Leviticus,

00:40:24.139 --> 00:40:25.239
 all of the promises

00:40:25.239 --> 00:40:26.019
 of Genesis

00:40:26.019 --> 00:40:27.779
 are all fulfilled

00:40:27.779 --> 00:40:29.119
 in the person of Jesus

00:40:29.119 --> 00:40:30.420
 and we are the heirs of that

00:40:30.420 --> 00:40:31.360
 when we receive it.

00:40:32.699 --> 00:40:34.299
 And Jesus calls us

00:40:34.299 --> 00:40:35.440
 like those people

00:40:35.440 --> 00:40:36.179
 in Afghanistan,

00:40:36.739 --> 00:40:37.460
 He says,

00:40:37.539 --> 00:40:38.340
 it's like people

00:40:38.340 --> 00:40:39.279
 being picked out

00:40:39.279 --> 00:40:39.920
 and called

00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:40.579
 and taken

00:40:40.579 --> 00:40:41.920
 out of doom,

00:40:42.320 --> 00:40:43.619
 set aside for Himself.

00:40:43.619 --> 00:40:48.159
 Here's the point,

00:40:48.299 --> 00:40:49.239
 the Lord redeems you

00:40:49.239 --> 00:40:49.799
 from doom,

00:40:50.519 --> 00:40:51.279
 sets you aside

00:40:51.279 --> 00:40:52.019
 for His way

00:40:52.019 --> 00:40:52.659
 and mission

00:40:52.659 --> 00:40:55.539
 as His treasured

00:40:55.539 --> 00:40:56.719
 and adopted child.

00:40:58.799 --> 00:40:59.799
 Just in closing,

00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:00.559
 very briefly,

00:41:00.619 --> 00:41:01.559
 I'm just going to not comment

00:41:01.559 --> 00:41:02.960
 on them basically at all,

00:41:03.039 --> 00:41:04.019
 just read two texts

00:41:04.019 --> 00:41:04.759
 in 1 Peter

00:41:04.759 --> 00:41:06.339
 to see that these

00:41:06.339 --> 00:41:07.380
 very same things

00:41:07.380 --> 00:41:08.239
 that I've been developing

00:41:08.239 --> 00:41:09.019
 just out of the book

00:41:09.019 --> 00:41:09.619
 of Leviticus

00:41:09.619 --> 00:41:10.539
 is exactly what

00:41:10.539 --> 00:41:11.159
 the New Testament

00:41:11.159 --> 00:41:12.039
 is talking about.

00:41:12.039 --> 00:41:14.380
 1 Peter is a small book

00:41:14.380 --> 00:41:15.400
 right towards the end

00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:15.920
 of the Bible,

00:41:16.960 --> 00:41:17.840
 which I'm momentarily

00:41:17.840 --> 00:41:18.860
 having trouble finding.

00:41:19.019 --> 00:41:19.519
 There we go.

00:41:20.139 --> 00:41:21.219
 1 Peter 1,

00:41:21.340 --> 00:41:22.679
 verses 13 and 16

00:41:22.679 --> 00:41:23.599
 says this,

00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:25.639
 Therefore,

00:41:25.840 --> 00:41:26.920
 preparing your minds

00:41:26.920 --> 00:41:27.500
 for action

00:41:27.500 --> 00:41:28.719
 and being sober-minded,

00:41:28.900 --> 00:41:29.900
 set your hope fully

00:41:29.900 --> 00:41:30.779
 on the grace

00:41:30.779 --> 00:41:31.840
 that would be brought

00:41:31.840 --> 00:41:32.400
 to you

00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:33.400
 at the revelation

00:41:33.400 --> 00:41:34.360
 of Jesus Christ.

00:41:34.659 --> 00:41:35.860
 As obedient children,

00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:37.360
 do not be conformed

00:41:37.360 --> 00:41:38.259
 to the passions

00:41:38.259 --> 00:41:39.559
 of your former ignorance,

00:41:39.559 --> 00:41:41.420
 but as he who called you

00:41:41.420 --> 00:41:41.980
 is holy,

00:41:42.380 --> 00:41:43.900
 you also be holy

00:41:43.900 --> 00:41:46.639
 in all your conduct.

00:41:47.380 --> 00:41:48.340
 Since it is written,

00:41:48.779 --> 00:41:49.739
 you shall be holy

00:41:49.739 --> 00:41:51.019
 for I am holy.

00:41:51.360 --> 00:41:52.340
 He quotes Leviticus.

00:41:53.699 --> 00:41:54.799
 And then just look

00:41:54.799 --> 00:41:55.960
 on the very next page,

00:41:56.259 --> 00:41:57.039
 1 Peter 2,

00:41:57.139 --> 00:41:58.320
 verses 9 to 12.

00:41:59.320 --> 00:42:00.380
 He's referring

00:42:00.380 --> 00:42:01.460
 to those of us

00:42:01.460 --> 00:42:04.679
 who've accepted Jesus.

00:42:04.679 --> 00:42:07.919
 Some of us

00:42:07.919 --> 00:42:08.879
 have become Christians

00:42:08.879 --> 00:42:10.199
 out of great homes.

00:42:11.039 --> 00:42:11.960
 Some of us

00:42:11.960 --> 00:42:13.299
 have become Christians

00:42:13.299 --> 00:42:14.500
 without knowing

00:42:14.500 --> 00:42:15.480
 who our parents are.

00:42:16.399 --> 00:42:17.000
 Some of us

00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:18.259
 grew up in homes

00:42:18.259 --> 00:42:19.440
 with great privilege.

00:42:19.619 --> 00:42:20.019
 Some of us

00:42:20.019 --> 00:42:20.719
 grew up in homes

00:42:20.719 --> 00:42:21.500
 with great abuse.

00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:23.079
 Some of us here

00:42:23.079 --> 00:42:24.019
 struggle with

00:42:24.019 --> 00:42:25.399
 great sexual problems.

00:42:25.539 --> 00:42:26.059
 Some of us,

00:42:26.199 --> 00:42:27.460
 it's not a particular issue.

00:42:28.219 --> 00:42:28.859
 Some of us

00:42:28.859 --> 00:42:30.039
 have come out of poverty.

00:42:30.859 --> 00:42:31.299
 Some of us

00:42:31.299 --> 00:42:32.159
 have come out of riches.

00:42:32.940 --> 00:42:33.500
 Some of us

00:42:33.500 --> 00:42:34.539
 have great IQ.

00:42:34.780 --> 00:42:35.199
 Some of us

00:42:35.199 --> 00:42:37.320
 have low IQs.

00:42:40.500 --> 00:42:41.380
 But when we put

00:42:41.380 --> 00:42:42.599
 our faith in Christ,

00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:44.579
 this is what he says.

00:42:48.800 --> 00:42:49.539
 But you are

00:42:49.539 --> 00:42:50.539
 a chosen race,

00:42:51.219 --> 00:42:52.380
 a royal priesthood,

00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:53.960
 a holy nation,

00:42:54.619 --> 00:42:55.079
 a people

00:42:55.079 --> 00:42:56.139
 for his own possession,

00:42:56.739 --> 00:42:57.920
 that you may proclaim

00:42:57.920 --> 00:42:58.679
 the excellencies

00:42:58.679 --> 00:42:59.219
 of him

00:42:59.219 --> 00:42:59.880
 who called you

00:42:59.880 --> 00:43:00.539
 out of darkness

00:43:00.539 --> 00:43:01.920
 into his marvelous light.

00:43:02.539 --> 00:43:03.420
 Once you are not

00:43:03.420 --> 00:43:03.880
 a people,

00:43:04.440 --> 00:43:05.099
 but now you are

00:43:05.099 --> 00:43:05.860
 God's people.

00:43:06.360 --> 00:43:07.139
 Once you had not

00:43:07.139 --> 00:43:08.039
 received mercy,

00:43:08.659 --> 00:43:09.539
 but now you have

00:43:09.539 --> 00:43:10.360
 received mercy.

00:43:11.019 --> 00:43:11.539
 Beloved,

00:43:11.780 --> 00:43:12.800
 I urge you

00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:13.900
 as sojourners

00:43:13.900 --> 00:43:14.860
 and exiles

00:43:14.860 --> 00:43:16.039
 to abstain

00:43:16.039 --> 00:43:16.840
 from the passions

00:43:16.840 --> 00:43:17.659
 of the flesh

00:43:17.659 --> 00:43:19.139
 which wage war

00:43:19.139 --> 00:43:20.200
 against your soul.

00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:21.960
 Keep your conduct

00:43:21.960 --> 00:43:22.980
 among the world

00:43:22.980 --> 00:43:23.740
 honorable

00:43:23.740 --> 00:43:25.139
 so that when they

00:43:25.139 --> 00:43:25.980
 speak against you

00:43:25.980 --> 00:43:26.840
 as evildoers,

00:43:27.200 --> 00:43:27.860
 they may see

00:43:27.860 --> 00:43:28.800
 your good deeds

00:43:28.800 --> 00:43:30.320
 and glorify God

00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:31.340
 on the day

00:43:31.340 --> 00:43:33.000
 of his visitation.

00:43:33.620 --> 00:43:34.240
 I invite you

00:43:34.240 --> 00:43:34.760
 to stand.

00:43:39.880 --> 00:43:40.500
 If you are

00:43:40.500 --> 00:43:41.200
 watching this

00:43:41.200 --> 00:43:43.519
 and you've never

00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:44.039
 given your life

00:43:44.039 --> 00:43:44.460
 to Jesus,

00:43:44.579 --> 00:43:45.079
 there's no better

00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:45.559
 time now

00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:46.200
 than to call out

00:43:46.200 --> 00:43:46.620
 to him.

00:43:47.280 --> 00:43:48.500
 And he redeems you.

00:43:49.440 --> 00:43:50.320
 And when he calls,

00:43:50.400 --> 00:43:51.480
 and when you accept him,

00:43:51.579 --> 00:43:52.320
 when he takes you,

00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:53.180
 he accepts you,

00:43:53.280 --> 00:43:54.360
 he sets you aside

00:43:54.360 --> 00:43:55.340
 as his own

00:43:55.340 --> 00:43:56.579
 adopted child

00:43:56.579 --> 00:43:57.400
 that he loves.

00:43:57.400 --> 00:43:59.119
 He sets you aside

00:43:59.119 --> 00:44:01.000
 and he calls you

00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:01.960
 to become like him,

00:44:02.639 --> 00:44:03.519
 to allow him

00:44:03.519 --> 00:44:04.360
 to do his work

00:44:04.360 --> 00:44:04.940
 of redemption

00:44:04.940 --> 00:44:06.440
 and grace in you,

00:44:06.980 --> 00:44:07.619
 that we,

00:44:08.360 --> 00:44:08.619
 you,

00:44:09.360 --> 00:44:09.980
 and I

00:44:09.980 --> 00:44:11.180
 can live

00:44:11.180 --> 00:44:11.860
 for his glory,

00:44:12.260 --> 00:44:13.360
 not allowing

00:44:13.360 --> 00:44:14.059
 the world

00:44:14.059 --> 00:44:15.900
 to call us

00:44:15.900 --> 00:44:17.160
 to be set aside

00:44:17.160 --> 00:44:18.099
 for its purposes,

00:44:18.099 --> 00:44:23.639
 but to know

00:44:23.639 --> 00:44:24.059
 that he has

00:44:24.059 --> 00:44:24.480
 called us

00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:24.880
 and set us

00:44:24.880 --> 00:44:25.579
 aside for his

00:44:25.579 --> 00:44:26.339
 own purpose

00:44:26.339 --> 00:44:27.579
 that will end

00:44:27.579 --> 00:44:28.119
 in glory.

00:44:29.079 --> 00:44:29.719
 Let's pray.

00:44:31.299 --> 00:44:31.699
 Father,

00:44:31.819 --> 00:44:32.319
 first of all,

00:44:32.400 --> 00:44:32.960
 we commend

00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:33.819
 into your hands

00:44:33.819 --> 00:44:35.139
 the Afghani people.

00:44:36.819 --> 00:44:37.219
 Father,

00:44:37.339 --> 00:44:37.860
 it's hard

00:44:37.860 --> 00:44:38.420
 to pray

00:44:38.420 --> 00:44:40.119
 in the face

00:44:40.119 --> 00:44:40.679
 of

00:44:40.679 --> 00:44:42.799
 victorious

00:44:42.799 --> 00:44:43.460
 evil.

00:44:43.460 --> 00:44:46.720
 so we cling

00:44:46.720 --> 00:44:47.440
 to your word

00:44:47.440 --> 00:44:47.900
 and know

00:44:47.900 --> 00:44:48.300
 that

00:44:48.300 --> 00:44:50.019
 evil never

00:44:50.019 --> 00:44:50.880
 has the final

00:44:50.880 --> 00:44:51.360
 word,

00:44:52.199 --> 00:44:52.619
 that whether

00:44:52.619 --> 00:44:53.260
 on this side

00:44:53.260 --> 00:44:53.740
 of the grave

00:44:53.740 --> 00:44:54.400
 or the next,

00:44:55.139 --> 00:44:56.099
 that you will

00:44:56.099 --> 00:44:56.559
 judge.

00:44:57.679 --> 00:44:58.639
 You will judge

00:44:58.639 --> 00:44:59.440
 all injustice,

00:45:00.240 --> 00:45:01.099
 all hatred,

00:45:01.260 --> 00:45:01.840
 all evil.

00:45:04.579 --> 00:45:05.720
 But we call out,

00:45:05.960 --> 00:45:06.019
 Father,

00:45:06.099 --> 00:45:06.800
 for this people

00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:07.440
 we believe,

00:45:07.539 --> 00:45:08.440
 help our unbelief.

00:45:09.079 --> 00:45:09.820
 We ask,

00:45:10.059 --> 00:45:10.139
 Father,

00:45:10.199 --> 00:45:10.679
 that you would

00:45:10.679 --> 00:45:11.440
 turn the hearts

00:45:11.440 --> 00:45:11.940
 of those

00:45:11.940 --> 00:45:12.760
 who seem bent

00:45:12.760 --> 00:45:13.800
 on great evil,

00:45:14.680 --> 00:45:16.480
 that you would

00:45:16.480 --> 00:45:17.320
 bring about a day

00:45:17.320 --> 00:45:19.220
 when there are

00:45:19.220 --> 00:45:19.940
 leaders of that

00:45:19.940 --> 00:45:20.320
 land

00:45:20.320 --> 00:45:22.380
 who seek

00:45:22.380 --> 00:45:22.800
 freedom

00:45:22.800 --> 00:45:23.260
 and human

00:45:23.260 --> 00:45:23.900
 flourishing

00:45:23.900 --> 00:45:25.540
 and not

00:45:25.540 --> 00:45:26.000
 oppression.

00:45:27.140 --> 00:45:28.140
 And we call out

00:45:28.140 --> 00:45:28.580
 especially,

00:45:28.820 --> 00:45:29.000
 Father,

00:45:29.080 --> 00:45:29.600
 for our brothers

00:45:29.600 --> 00:45:30.160
 and sisters

00:45:30.160 --> 00:45:30.740
 in Christ

00:45:30.740 --> 00:45:31.480
 in Afghanistan.

00:45:34.300 --> 00:45:34.780
 Father,

00:45:34.900 --> 00:45:35.680
 we confess

00:45:35.680 --> 00:45:37.100
 we are so

00:45:37.100 --> 00:45:37.940
 soft and weak

00:45:37.940 --> 00:45:38.580
 it is hard

00:45:38.580 --> 00:45:39.200
 for us to even

00:45:39.200 --> 00:45:39.680
 imagine

00:45:39.680 --> 00:45:41.460
 that in a land

00:45:41.460 --> 00:45:41.920
 like that

00:45:41.920 --> 00:45:42.580
 someone would

00:45:42.579 --> 00:45:44.099
 willingly choose

00:45:44.099 --> 00:45:45.500
 to heed your

00:45:45.500 --> 00:45:45.920
 call and

00:45:45.920 --> 00:45:46.340
 become your

00:45:46.340 --> 00:45:46.699
 child.

00:45:47.179 --> 00:45:47.779
 It's hard

00:45:47.779 --> 00:45:48.179
 for us to

00:45:48.179 --> 00:45:48.619
 imagine.

00:45:50.179 --> 00:45:50.619
 So,

00:45:50.739 --> 00:45:50.900
 Father,

00:45:51.000 --> 00:45:52.420
 we thank you

00:45:52.420 --> 00:45:52.779
 for their

00:45:52.779 --> 00:45:53.219
 courage,

00:45:53.319 --> 00:45:53.940
 their testimony,

00:45:54.179 --> 00:45:54.460
 for your

00:45:54.460 --> 00:45:55.139
 great grace.

00:45:55.860 --> 00:45:56.659
 We ask that

00:45:56.659 --> 00:45:56.960
 you would

00:45:56.960 --> 00:45:57.539
 bless them

00:45:57.539 --> 00:45:58.639
 in this

00:45:58.639 --> 00:45:59.179
 great hour

00:45:59.179 --> 00:45:59.779
 of trial,

00:46:00.819 --> 00:46:01.420
 that you

00:46:01.420 --> 00:46:01.819
 would deliver

00:46:01.819 --> 00:46:02.119
 them,

00:46:02.639 --> 00:46:02.920
 that you

00:46:02.920 --> 00:46:03.340
 turn the

00:46:03.340 --> 00:46:03.659
 heart of

00:46:03.659 --> 00:46:03.799
 their

00:46:03.799 --> 00:46:04.519
 persecutors

00:46:04.519 --> 00:46:04.779
 away,

00:46:04.920 --> 00:46:05.119
 Father,

00:46:05.199 --> 00:46:05.980
 from persecution

00:46:05.980 --> 00:46:06.940
 and to

00:46:06.940 --> 00:46:07.259
 Jesus.

00:46:08.219 --> 00:46:08.940
 And we ask

00:46:08.940 --> 00:46:09.559
 for ourselves,

00:46:09.799 --> 00:46:10.019
 Father,

00:46:10.019 --> 00:46:12.659
 that you

00:46:12.659 --> 00:46:13.019
 would help

00:46:13.019 --> 00:46:13.420
 us to be

00:46:13.420 --> 00:46:13.920
 holy as

00:46:13.920 --> 00:46:14.199
 you are

00:46:14.199 --> 00:46:14.559
 holy,

00:46:16.119 --> 00:46:16.900
 that you

00:46:16.900 --> 00:46:17.199
 would help

00:46:17.199 --> 00:46:17.519
 us to

00:46:17.519 --> 00:46:17.980
 learn to

00:46:17.980 --> 00:46:18.440
 live as

00:46:18.440 --> 00:46:18.599
 your

00:46:18.599 --> 00:46:19.259
 children in

00:46:19.259 --> 00:46:19.840
 your kingdom

00:46:19.840 --> 00:46:20.340
 under your

00:46:20.340 --> 00:46:21.239
 gracious rule,

00:46:22.079 --> 00:46:23.119
 being fed

00:46:23.119 --> 00:46:23.780
 by you,

00:46:25.539 --> 00:46:26.500
 being led

00:46:26.500 --> 00:46:26.960
 and guided

00:46:26.960 --> 00:46:27.460
 and directed

00:46:27.460 --> 00:46:28.159
 by you,

00:46:28.820 --> 00:46:29.619
 for our

00:46:29.619 --> 00:46:30.320
 true good

00:46:30.320 --> 00:46:30.639
 where we

00:46:30.639 --> 00:46:30.940
 become

00:46:30.940 --> 00:46:31.619
 ourself,

00:46:32.619 --> 00:46:33.179
 we're the

00:46:33.179 --> 00:46:33.539
 good of the

00:46:33.539 --> 00:46:33.960
 world,

00:46:34.599 --> 00:46:34.960
 and for your

00:46:34.960 --> 00:46:35.579
 great glory.

00:46:35.579 --> 00:46:37.179
 and we

00:46:37.179 --> 00:46:37.559
 are so

00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:37.860
 weak,

00:46:38.019 --> 00:46:38.239
 Father,

00:46:38.519 --> 00:46:39.159
 we ask

00:46:39.159 --> 00:46:39.779
 for the

00:46:39.779 --> 00:46:40.179
 outpouring

00:46:40.179 --> 00:46:40.480
 of your

00:46:40.480 --> 00:46:40.980
 Holy Spirit

00:46:40.980 --> 00:46:41.619
 upon us,

00:46:42.199 --> 00:46:42.579
 that this

00:46:42.579 --> 00:46:42.940
 might be

00:46:42.940 --> 00:46:43.480
 our walk.

00:46:44.500 --> 00:46:44.960
 We praise

00:46:44.960 --> 00:46:45.279
 you that

00:46:45.279 --> 00:46:45.500
 you are

00:46:45.500 --> 00:46:45.840
 holy,

00:46:46.759 --> 00:46:47.380
 praise you

00:46:47.380 --> 00:46:47.619
 that you

00:46:47.619 --> 00:46:48.079
 are God,

00:46:49.440 --> 00:46:50.059
 you alone

00:46:50.059 --> 00:46:50.500
 are God,

00:46:51.599 --> 00:46:51.980
 and all

00:46:51.980 --> 00:46:52.539
 God's people

00:46:52.539 --> 00:46:52.900
 said,

00:46:53.659 --> 00:46:53.900
 Amen.
