00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:10.080
 Today's Bible reading will be from Matthew, reading from chapter 21, verses 1-17.

00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:11.160
!

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:54.740
 This took place to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet, saying,

00:00:54.740 --> 00:01:10.180
 Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold, your king is coming to you, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.

00:01:11.579 --> 00:01:16.000
 The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.

00:01:16.659 --> 00:01:22.599
 They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them.

00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:31.699
 Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

00:01:32.379 --> 00:01:37.179
 And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting,

00:01:38.039 --> 00:01:48.060
 Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!

00:01:48.060 --> 00:01:54.900
 And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying,

00:01:55.740 --> 00:01:56.980
 Who is this?

00:01:57.439 --> 00:01:58.980
 And the crowd said,

00:01:59.520 --> 00:02:04.260
 This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth of Galilee.

00:02:04.260 --> 00:02:13.620
 And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple.

00:02:14.219 --> 00:02:19.319
 And he overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons.

00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:21.640
 He said to them,

00:02:22.640 --> 00:02:23.719
 It is written,

00:02:24.900 --> 00:02:27.960
 My house shall be called a house of prayer,

00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:31.219
 but you make it a den of robbers.

00:02:31.219 --> 00:02:37.039
 And the blinds and the lame came to him in the temple,

00:02:37.460 --> 00:02:38.680
 and he healed them.

00:02:39.539 --> 00:02:45.199
 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did,

00:02:46.020 --> 00:02:48.280
 and the children crying out in the temple,

00:02:49.060 --> 00:02:50.860
 Hosanna to the Son of David!

00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:53.639
 They were indignant.

00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:56.239
 And they said to him,

00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:00.419
 Do you hear what these are saying?

00:03:01.500 --> 00:03:03.019
 And Jesus said to them,

00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:04.359
 Yes.

00:03:05.299 --> 00:03:06.919
 Have you never read?

00:03:07.659 --> 00:03:10.639
 Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies,

00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:12.879
 you have prepared praise.

00:03:13.839 --> 00:03:14.859
 And leaving them,

00:03:15.399 --> 00:03:17.019
 he went out of the city to Bethany

00:03:17.019 --> 00:03:18.359
 and lodged there.

00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:21.600
 This is God's word to us today.

00:03:21.720 --> 00:03:23.840
 May we be blessed by listening to it.

00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:32.240
 Well, good morning, everyone.

00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:37.500
 Will you pray with me as we come to God's word?

00:03:37.500 --> 00:03:46.300
 Our Father, as we just sang,

00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:49.840
 I pray that through your word and by your spirit,

00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:54.439
 you would convince our hearts to crown you

00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:56.620
 the Lord of peace.

00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:00.840
 Lord, convince our hearts to crown you.

00:04:01.979 --> 00:04:03.300
 I pray this in Jesus' name.

00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:03.780
 Amen.

00:04:03.780 --> 00:04:03.879
 Amen.

00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:09.819
 Well, when leaders start their time in power,

00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:14.180
 how they begin often isn't an accident.

00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:17.839
 It's often very careful.

00:04:18.259 --> 00:04:19.180
 So there's a new coach.

00:04:19.259 --> 00:04:22.019
 I'm so sorry, another sport illustration.

00:04:22.899 --> 00:04:24.699
 I've got to find better illustrations.

00:04:25.019 --> 00:04:28.399
 But there's this new coach for a soccer team in England.

00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:33.719
 And every coach would start their leadership

00:04:33.719 --> 00:04:34.899
 by calling a meeting,

00:04:35.259 --> 00:04:37.139
 the players, the coaching staff,

00:04:37.799 --> 00:04:39.139
 the owners of the club.

00:04:39.859 --> 00:04:42.419
 But this guy's done something different.

00:04:43.219 --> 00:04:44.779
 And everyone noticed it.

00:04:45.479 --> 00:04:49.819
 He also invited the kitchen staff.

00:04:50.699 --> 00:04:52.879
 He invites the groundskeepers.

00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:55.500
 He invited the bus drivers.

00:04:55.500 --> 00:04:58.100
 He invited everyone.

00:04:59.180 --> 00:05:01.160
 And everyone, before he said a word,

00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:02.420
 just in that one act,

00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:06.899
 he has symbolised what his leadership wants to be about.

00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:10.439
 It's a clear message.

00:05:11.180 --> 00:05:13.959
 He's going to be honouring the contribution of all.

00:05:14.660 --> 00:05:16.959
 Or if you want to read another example,

00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:20.899
 read the official webpage for President Trump's

00:05:20.899 --> 00:05:25.060
 first 100 hours in his second term in office

00:05:25.060 --> 00:05:26.839
 to kick off America's golden age.

00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:30.339
 It's very intentional what he did first.

00:05:32.899 --> 00:05:35.359
 There's investment in American business.

00:05:36.479 --> 00:05:39.560
 There's tearing down what his predecessor built up.

00:05:39.679 --> 00:05:42.039
 There's securing the American border.

00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:44.419
 There's deportation flights immediately.

00:05:44.420 --> 00:05:49.220
 What a leader does first really characterises

00:05:49.220 --> 00:05:53.699
 what their rule is going to be about.

00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.900
 Matthew has spent 20 chapters so far

00:05:57.900 --> 00:06:01.139
 trying to convince us, persuade us,

00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:04.840
 Jesus is the greatest king history has ever known.

00:06:06.780 --> 00:06:09.120
 Fulfilling all the Old Testament hopes.

00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:13.459
 But until now, Jesus has been very, very careful

00:06:13.459 --> 00:06:14.759
 not to go public.

00:06:16.540 --> 00:06:18.899
 When we re-looked at chapter 16,

00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:21.180
 as soon as the disciples confess,

00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:23.019
 you are the king,

00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:25.439
 his immediate words is,

00:06:25.899 --> 00:06:28.180
 he strictly charged the disciples

00:06:28.180 --> 00:06:29.620
 to tell no one

00:06:29.620 --> 00:06:32.180
 that he was the Christ.

00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:32.699
 Why?

00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:38.920
 Because he won't let people's expectations define him.

00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:43.080
 He won't let your expectations define him.

00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:44.280
 My expectations.

00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:47.560
 He's going to define himself.

00:06:48.960 --> 00:06:50.960
 Now as we enter Jerusalem,

00:06:51.520 --> 00:06:54.860
 he's chosen this time to go very public.

00:06:54.860 --> 00:06:59.180
 He's very intentionally orchestrating this event

00:06:59.180 --> 00:07:02.620
 to define what his rule is about.

00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:08.100
 He's picked the most important time in the Jewish calendar,

00:07:08.100 --> 00:07:11.800
 the most religious significance.

00:07:12.700 --> 00:07:15.780
 There's crowds coming to Jerusalem for Passover,

00:07:16.400 --> 00:07:19.060
 God's deliverance, salvation.

00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:21.360
 He's picked the most important place.

00:07:21.460 --> 00:07:22.540
 We're on the Mount of Olives,

00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:24.520
 which was a bit higher than Jerusalem.

00:07:24.960 --> 00:07:26.480
 You could see the city,

00:07:27.020 --> 00:07:28.740
 the capital.

00:07:29.980 --> 00:07:31.080
 You could see the temple.

00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:35.699
 Two centuries earlier,

00:07:35.899 --> 00:07:39.859
 Simon Maccabees had defeated foreign armies

00:07:39.859 --> 00:07:42.240
 to secure Israel's independence.

00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:43.839
 He defeated the armies

00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:45.459
 and he rode into Jerusalem

00:07:45.459 --> 00:07:48.159
 riding his war horse

00:07:48.159 --> 00:07:49.139
 and people,

00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:50.639
 there was a parade.

00:07:51.099 --> 00:07:52.039
 There was cheering,

00:07:52.339 --> 00:07:53.899
 like the end of World War II.

00:07:54.159 --> 00:07:55.839
 There was cheering in the street.

00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:58.859
 There was people putting palm branches down on the ground.

00:08:01.659 --> 00:08:03.019
 What does Jesus do?

00:08:04.219 --> 00:08:05.939
 He doesn't come in on a war horse.

00:08:07.419 --> 00:08:08.000
 A donkey.

00:08:09.859 --> 00:08:11.239
 Not only a donkey,

00:08:12.679 --> 00:08:15.639
 this small baby,

00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:16.039
 well,

00:08:16.599 --> 00:08:17.819
 kid donkey.

00:08:17.819 --> 00:08:20.860
 It's never been ridden,

00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:22.620
 Mark's gospel says.

00:08:24.099 --> 00:08:25.360
 If you saw it,

00:08:25.579 --> 00:08:26.019
 it's like,

00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:29.000
 it's almost laughable.

00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:32.340
 It's like a huge man

00:08:32.340 --> 00:08:33.960
 riding this little motorbike.

00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:37.600
 Why did he choose that?

00:08:41.319 --> 00:08:44.700
 What is this symbolic act telling us?

00:08:45.779 --> 00:08:47.500
 He's defining his rule.

00:08:47.500 --> 00:08:50.039
 What's he telling us by doing this?

00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:54.960
 Well,

00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:57.159
 it emphasises his lowliness,

00:08:57.519 --> 00:08:58.480
 his weakness,

00:08:59.019 --> 00:09:01.120
 his humility,

00:09:01.659 --> 00:09:03.299
 even humiliation.

00:09:04.179 --> 00:09:07.200
 But he's also making the greatest claim

00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:09.039
 a human being has ever made about himself.

00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:14.340
 It wasn't the early church

00:09:14.340 --> 00:09:18.320
 who just misinterpreted Jesus' sayings

00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:18.800
 and go,

00:09:19.340 --> 00:09:21.220
 we're going to give him the title Lord.

00:09:22.259 --> 00:09:25.740
 He is taking that title for himself.

00:09:25.940 --> 00:09:29.540
 He is ascribing the title Lord to himself.

00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:31.120
 When he sends his disciples,

00:09:31.300 --> 00:09:32.220
 go get these donkeys,

00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:33.540
 and if anyone asks you,

00:09:34.300 --> 00:09:36.040
 why are you taking our donkeys?

00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:38.419
 Tell them the Lord.

00:09:39.199 --> 00:09:41.599
 He hasn't used that phrase before now.

00:09:41.740 --> 00:09:42.779
 Tell him the Lord.

00:09:44.779 --> 00:09:47.179
 He knows exactly what he's doing.

00:09:48.860 --> 00:09:49.899
 The symbolism,

00:09:50.319 --> 00:09:51.419
 the crowds don't miss it.

00:09:51.839 --> 00:09:53.500
 We might misunderstand it,

00:09:53.659 --> 00:09:54.879
 but the crowds don't miss it.

00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:55.600
 Solomon,

00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:56.620
 David's son,

00:09:56.679 --> 00:09:57.899
 when he was crowned king,

00:09:58.360 --> 00:09:59.620
 that was done

00:09:59.620 --> 00:10:01.379
 by David giving instructions,

00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:01.740
 saying,

00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:04.779
 get him to ride on my donkey.

00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:06.659
 And that declared

00:10:06.659 --> 00:10:08.320
 that succession.

00:10:10.179 --> 00:10:11.000
 And Zachariah,

00:10:11.179 --> 00:10:12.220
 the prophet Zachariah,

00:10:12.299 --> 00:10:12.899
 picks this up.

00:10:13.139 --> 00:10:14.340
 The true son of David,

00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:16.620
 who will have an eternal kingdom,

00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:17.439
 behold,

00:10:17.620 --> 00:10:19.059
 your king is coming to you,

00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:20.759
 humble and mounted on a donkey.

00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:24.980
 He is ascribing himself

00:10:24.980 --> 00:10:29.740
 as fulfilling all the Old Testament hopes.

00:10:29.939 --> 00:10:31.059
 There is a frenzy.

00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:31.980
 There's a parade.

00:10:32.620 --> 00:10:34.799
 People understand what he's doing.

00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:36.759
 There's messianic hopes.

00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:39.139
 There's fever pitch.

00:10:39.299 --> 00:10:41.500
 This is an exciting time.

00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:42.679
 They are crying out,

00:10:42.740 --> 00:10:43.279
 Hosanna,

00:10:43.659 --> 00:10:45.819
 which apparently transliterates the Hebrew,

00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:46.779
 save us.

00:10:47.980 --> 00:10:49.319
 They're praising God,

00:10:49.460 --> 00:10:50.019
 finally.

00:10:50.019 --> 00:10:51.659
 You've sent your Messiah,

00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:52.419
 save us.

00:10:52.439 --> 00:10:53.840
 This is an exciting scene.

00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:57.740
 Ordinary clothes,

00:10:57.980 --> 00:10:58.939
 ordinary followers,

00:10:59.699 --> 00:11:01.039
 a ridiculous donkey,

00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:03.179
 and ordinary followers still today,

00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:03.939
 I'm sorry to say.

00:11:04.419 --> 00:11:05.860
 Despite appearances,

00:11:06.860 --> 00:11:07.759
 he is saying,

00:11:08.199 --> 00:11:09.240
 I'm the greatest king.

00:11:10.460 --> 00:11:12.480
 I am that king.

00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:14.840
 It's not others saying it to him.

00:11:14.939 --> 00:11:16.600
 He's claiming it.

00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:24.620
 That's what this little donkey says.

00:11:28.980 --> 00:11:32.240
 So are you willing to join the parade

00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:33.279
 and the celebration

00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:39.000
 of this donkey-riding king?

00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:43.419
 There's graffiti.

00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:46.259
 Graffiti in Rome,

00:11:47.179 --> 00:11:49.600
 on a wall in Rome,

00:11:50.019 --> 00:11:51.399
 dated to about 200 AD,

00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:54.699
 and it's this sketch.

00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:56.659
 It looks like a children's drawing,

00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:59.679
 but it's probably a sketch of a man

00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:06.120
 worshipping what looks like the figure of a man on a cross

00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:07.620
 with a donkey's head.

00:12:07.620 --> 00:12:10.519
 And the inscription says,

00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:11.560
 Alex,

00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:14.299
 I can't even say it.

00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:15.399
 I'm just going to say Alex.

00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:18.159
 Alex worships his God.

00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:22.259
 Roman Empire,

00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:23.240
 they worship power.

00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:24.339
 This is ridiculous.

00:12:25.059 --> 00:12:25.759
 You Christians,

00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:26.480
 worshipping

00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:30.259
 this donkey-riding king.

00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:34.179
 His weakness,

00:12:34.339 --> 00:12:35.100
 it's not attractive.

00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:36.939
 It's not attractive to this world.

00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:37.639
 But then,

00:12:37.939 --> 00:12:39.159
 but then,

00:12:39.319 --> 00:12:40.279
 other people find him

00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:42.639
 not attractive for a different reason,

00:12:42.740 --> 00:12:43.860
 like Ricky Gervais,

00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:44.480
 comedian.

00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:46.600
 He wrote an article,

00:12:46.980 --> 00:12:47.500
 and Jesus,

00:12:47.680 --> 00:12:48.139
 he says,

00:12:48.220 --> 00:12:49.019
 Jesus was a man.

00:12:49.100 --> 00:12:50.560
 And if you forget all that rubbish

00:12:50.560 --> 00:12:51.960
 about being half God,

00:12:52.420 --> 00:12:53.680
 and forget that,

00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:55.180
 believe the non-super,

00:12:55.300 --> 00:12:57.500
 if you just believe the non-supernatural acts

00:12:57.500 --> 00:12:58.320
 accredited to him,

00:12:58.519 --> 00:12:59.440
 he was a man

00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:00.560
 whose wise words

00:13:00.560 --> 00:13:02.399
 many other men would still follow.

00:13:03.139 --> 00:13:04.519
 His message was usually

00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:06.200
 one of forgiveness and kindness.

00:13:08.700 --> 00:13:10.800
 But this donkey-riding king,

00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:12.440
 he's declaring himself,

00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:12.940
 flawed,

00:13:13.540 --> 00:13:14.820
 of the entire world.

00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:17.540
 This world doesn't like

00:13:17.540 --> 00:13:18.600
 his great claims.

00:13:19.020 --> 00:13:19.680
 He's offensive.

00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:22.160
 He's ridiculous.

00:13:24.520 --> 00:13:25.600
 He doesn't fit

00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:26.240
 what this world

00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:26.980
 finds attractive,

00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:27.880
 and that's exactly

00:13:27.880 --> 00:13:29.100
 why he's worth following.

00:13:30.740 --> 00:13:31.980
 Because he's so different

00:13:31.980 --> 00:13:33.120
 from the rest of the world.

00:13:36.260 --> 00:13:37.260
 So are we willing

00:13:37.260 --> 00:13:38.040
 to follow this?

00:13:39.500 --> 00:13:40.020
 Are we willing

00:13:40.020 --> 00:13:40.560
 to celebrate,

00:13:40.800 --> 00:13:41.720
 or are we embarrassed?

00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:47.340
 The second thing

00:13:47.340 --> 00:13:48.520
 this leader is declaring

00:13:48.520 --> 00:13:50.300
 by this carefully chosen act

00:13:50.300 --> 00:13:51.260
 is that he's not

00:13:51.260 --> 00:13:51.980
 going to conquer

00:13:51.980 --> 00:13:54.720
 through force,

00:13:55.500 --> 00:13:56.240
 and power,

00:13:56.660 --> 00:13:57.580
 and threat.

00:14:01.580 --> 00:14:02.640
 It hints

00:14:02.640 --> 00:14:04.440
 at how he's going

00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:05.480
 to conquer the world.

00:14:05.980 --> 00:14:07.540
 Not as every other

00:14:07.540 --> 00:14:09.180
 kingdom of this world

00:14:09.180 --> 00:14:09.680
 conquers.

00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:14.299
 when our military

00:14:14.299 --> 00:14:14.919
 showed

00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:16.659
 our strength

00:14:16.659 --> 00:14:17.539
 with the

00:14:17.539 --> 00:14:18.519
 talisman saver

00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:20.399
 exhibition,

00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:24.099
 I didn't see

00:14:24.099 --> 00:14:25.759
 us showing off

00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:26.319
 our donkey

00:14:26.319 --> 00:14:27.759
 collection.

00:14:30.139 --> 00:14:31.120
 There's not

00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:32.299
 an AUKUS agreement

00:14:32.299 --> 00:14:34.879
 for producing

00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:35.599
 more donkeys.

00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:35.700
 peace.

00:14:40.379 --> 00:14:41.080
 This king

00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:41.560
 is going to

00:14:41.560 --> 00:14:42.560
 conquer by peace.

00:14:45.500 --> 00:14:46.259
 I'm not saying

00:14:46.259 --> 00:14:46.960
 countries can't

00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:47.460
 have military.

00:14:48.379 --> 00:14:49.159
 That's part of

00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:50.279
 the country's job

00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:51.379
 to protect its citizens.

00:14:51.659 --> 00:14:52.259
 But I'm just saying

00:14:52.259 --> 00:14:52.759
 this kingdom

00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:53.279
 is very,

00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:53.460
 very,

00:14:53.460 --> 00:14:54.580
 very different.

00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:56.680
 He's going to be

00:14:56.680 --> 00:14:57.820
 characterised by peace.

00:14:58.820 --> 00:15:00.420
 Not by taking power

00:15:00.420 --> 00:15:01.420
 and killing,

00:15:01.920 --> 00:15:03.060
 but by losing power

00:15:03.059 --> 00:15:03.699
 and dying.

00:15:06.599 --> 00:15:07.399
 He's going to be

00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:08.119
 humiliated.

00:15:08.619 --> 00:15:09.099
 That's how he's

00:15:09.099 --> 00:15:09.539
 going to conquer.

00:15:17.219 --> 00:15:18.239
 This peace,

00:15:20.239 --> 00:15:23.539
 he's going against

00:15:23.539 --> 00:15:24.319
 the expectations

00:15:24.319 --> 00:15:25.039
 of the crowd.

00:15:25.839 --> 00:15:26.419
 They thought

00:15:26.419 --> 00:15:27.079
 he was going to

00:15:27.079 --> 00:15:27.639
 come in

00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:30.039
 and destroy

00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:30.659
 the nations,

00:15:30.839 --> 00:15:31.359
 make Israel

00:15:31.359 --> 00:15:32.000
 great again.

00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:33.860
 He's going

00:15:33.860 --> 00:15:34.500
 against that

00:15:34.500 --> 00:15:35.179
 expectation.

00:15:35.419 --> 00:15:35.700
 No,

00:15:36.659 --> 00:15:37.720
 I'm going to

00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:38.240
 conquer through

00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:38.720
 peace.

00:15:38.980 --> 00:15:39.519
 And the kind

00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:39.899
 of peace

00:15:39.899 --> 00:15:40.340
 I'm bringing

00:15:40.340 --> 00:15:41.019
 is a greater

00:15:41.019 --> 00:15:41.539
 peace than

00:15:41.539 --> 00:15:42.100
 you're asking

00:15:42.100 --> 00:15:42.440
 for.

00:15:43.740 --> 00:15:43.840
 Now,

00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:45.820
 Don Carson

00:15:45.820 --> 00:15:46.399
 says something

00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:46.820
 about this

00:15:46.820 --> 00:15:47.159
 peace.

00:15:48.659 --> 00:15:49.500
 I think he's

00:15:49.500 --> 00:15:50.019
 on to something,

00:15:50.220 --> 00:15:51.139
 but see what

00:15:51.139 --> 00:15:51.500
 you think.

00:15:53.899 --> 00:15:55.080
 If you were

00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:56.600
 on holidays

00:15:56.600 --> 00:15:57.759
 in the

00:15:57.759 --> 00:15:58.139
 countryside

00:15:58.139 --> 00:15:58.639
 and you

00:15:58.639 --> 00:15:58.919
 thought,

00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:01.339
 a fun

00:16:01.339 --> 00:16:01.979
 activity for

00:16:01.979 --> 00:16:02.339
 today,

00:16:02.719 --> 00:16:03.059
 let's go

00:16:03.059 --> 00:16:03.599
 horse riding.

00:16:04.659 --> 00:16:05.259
 And just

00:16:05.259 --> 00:16:05.759
 before you

00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:06.159
 get on the

00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:06.459
 horse,

00:16:06.539 --> 00:16:07.039
 the instructor

00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:07.479
 says,

00:16:07.819 --> 00:16:07.939
 hey,

00:16:07.959 --> 00:16:08.199
 by the

00:16:08.199 --> 00:16:08.459
 way,

00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:09.899
 no one's

00:16:09.899 --> 00:16:10.299
 ever ridden

00:16:10.299 --> 00:16:10.759
 this horse

00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:11.079
 before.

00:16:13.339 --> 00:16:13.979
 Would you

00:16:13.979 --> 00:16:14.139
 go,

00:16:14.219 --> 00:16:15.539
 what a

00:16:15.539 --> 00:16:16.139
 privilege.

00:16:16.979 --> 00:16:17.679
 I get to

00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:18.419
 be first.

00:16:18.959 --> 00:16:19.159
 Now,

00:16:19.459 --> 00:16:20.179
 you're laughing

00:16:20.179 --> 00:16:20.740
 because we

00:16:20.740 --> 00:16:21.500
 all know

00:16:21.500 --> 00:16:24.519
 common sense,

00:16:24.980 --> 00:16:25.699
 you do not

00:16:25.699 --> 00:16:26.240
 get on an

00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:27.459
 animal that

00:16:27.460 --> 00:16:27.860
 has never

00:16:27.860 --> 00:16:28.480
 been ridden

00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:28.940
 before.

00:16:30.019 --> 00:16:30.320
 But that's

00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:30.660
 exactly,

00:16:31.160 --> 00:16:31.920
 and now put

00:16:31.920 --> 00:16:32.519
 that animal

00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:34.060
 in a parade

00:16:34.060 --> 00:16:36.700
 of people

00:16:36.700 --> 00:16:37.420
 screaming.

00:16:40.060 --> 00:16:40.600
 And yet,

00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:42.400
 it's just

00:16:42.400 --> 00:16:43.320
 this little

00:16:43.320 --> 00:16:43.700
 hint,

00:16:43.800 --> 00:16:44.080
 I think

00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:44.780
 Carson is

00:16:44.780 --> 00:16:45.019
 on to

00:16:45.019 --> 00:16:45.220
 something

00:16:45.220 --> 00:16:45.480
 here,

00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:46.840
 that under

00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:47.480
 the hand

00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:48.920
 of its

00:16:48.920 --> 00:16:49.440
 Lord,

00:16:50.259 --> 00:16:50.960
 this little

00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:52.080
 animal is

00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:52.639
 calm.

00:16:54.300 --> 00:16:55.259
 The peace

00:16:55.259 --> 00:16:55.879
 he's bringing

00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:58.740
 is to the

00:16:58.740 --> 00:16:59.519
 entire world.

00:16:59.620 --> 00:16:59.860
 He's going

00:16:59.860 --> 00:17:00.200
 to put the

00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:00.759
 whole world,

00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:01.500
 even nature,

00:17:01.659 --> 00:17:02.019
 right.

00:17:03.100 --> 00:17:03.480
 I think it's

00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:04.000
 this little

00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:04.519
 hint.

00:17:07.099 --> 00:17:07.359
 He's

00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:07.819
 fulfilling

00:17:07.819 --> 00:17:08.480
 Old Testament

00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:08.960
 hopes,

00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:10.259
 and he's

00:17:10.259 --> 00:17:10.759
 bringing

00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:11.579
 peace,

00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:13.180
 putting

00:17:13.180 --> 00:17:13.579
 everything,

00:17:13.619 --> 00:17:13.839
 he's going

00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:14.059
 to put

00:17:14.059 --> 00:17:14.420
 everything

00:17:14.420 --> 00:17:14.880
 right

00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:17.619
 by

00:17:17.619 --> 00:17:19.359
 becoming

00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:19.740
 last,

00:17:19.819 --> 00:17:20.200
 by being

00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:20.940
 humiliated,

00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:21.420
 not by

00:17:21.420 --> 00:17:22.140
 taking power,

00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:22.880
 by losing

00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:23.119
 it.

00:17:23.900 --> 00:17:24.480
 That's his

00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:24.839
 rule.

00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:29.300
 And what

00:17:29.300 --> 00:17:29.580
 he does

00:17:29.580 --> 00:17:29.960
 next,

00:17:30.260 --> 00:17:30.700
 we see

00:17:30.700 --> 00:17:31.280
 the enemy

00:17:31.280 --> 00:17:31.860
 he's come

00:17:31.860 --> 00:17:32.340
 to save

00:17:32.340 --> 00:17:32.720
 us from.

00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:34.260
 The crowds

00:17:34.260 --> 00:17:34.720
 thought,

00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:36.260
 bring judgment

00:17:36.260 --> 00:17:36.660
 on the

00:17:36.660 --> 00:17:36.960
 Romans,

00:17:37.120 --> 00:17:37.600
 but where

00:17:37.600 --> 00:17:37.940
 does he

00:17:37.940 --> 00:17:38.320
 attack?

00:17:38.420 --> 00:17:39.280
 He doesn't

00:17:39.280 --> 00:17:40.060
 attack the

00:17:40.060 --> 00:17:40.600
 governor's

00:17:40.600 --> 00:17:41.080
 palace.

00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:42.300
 He attacks

00:17:42.300 --> 00:17:44.120
 the worship

00:17:44.120 --> 00:17:44.740
 at the

00:17:44.740 --> 00:17:45.060
 temple.

00:17:48.180 --> 00:17:48.780
 Verses

00:17:48.780 --> 00:17:49.320
 12 to

00:17:49.320 --> 00:17:49.960
 16,

00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:51.280
 all happen

00:17:51.280 --> 00:17:52.120
 in the

00:17:52.120 --> 00:17:52.440
 temple.

00:17:52.620 --> 00:17:52.860
 We are

00:17:52.860 --> 00:17:53.360
 reminded

00:17:53.360 --> 00:17:54.080
 repeatedly,

00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:55.059
 the blind

00:17:55.059 --> 00:17:55.679
 and lame

00:17:55.679 --> 00:17:56.539
 came to

00:17:56.539 --> 00:17:57.500
 him in

00:17:57.500 --> 00:17:58.039
 the temple.

00:17:58.419 --> 00:17:58.659
 The

00:17:58.659 --> 00:17:59.099
 children

00:17:59.099 --> 00:17:59.899
 are crying

00:17:59.899 --> 00:18:00.179
 out

00:18:00.179 --> 00:18:00.599
 Hosanna

00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:02.299
 in the

00:18:02.299 --> 00:18:02.659
 temple.

00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:06.799
 That's

00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:07.139
 where

00:18:07.139 --> 00:18:08.960
 he attacks.

00:18:10.819 --> 00:18:11.699
 So the

00:18:11.699 --> 00:18:12.199
 scene here

00:18:12.199 --> 00:18:12.879
 where he

00:18:12.879 --> 00:18:14.639
 gets angry

00:18:14.639 --> 00:18:15.319
 and drives

00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:15.919
 out all

00:18:15.919 --> 00:18:16.539
 who sold

00:18:16.539 --> 00:18:17.119
 and bought,

00:18:17.500 --> 00:18:18.279
 worshipers,

00:18:18.419 --> 00:18:18.879
 pilgrims,

00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:19.740
 they're coming

00:18:19.740 --> 00:18:20.259
 for Passover

00:18:20.259 --> 00:18:20.599
 festival,

00:18:20.699 --> 00:18:21.220
 they need

00:18:21.220 --> 00:18:21.819
 animals to

00:18:21.819 --> 00:18:22.199
 sacrifice,

00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:22.759
 they need

00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:23.779
 to exchange

00:18:23.779 --> 00:18:24.480
 their currency

00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:26.200
 for God

00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:27.360
 required a

00:18:27.360 --> 00:18:27.920
 temple tax

00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:28.180
 for the

00:18:28.180 --> 00:18:28.740
 upkeep of

00:18:28.740 --> 00:18:29.080
 the temple.

00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:30.799
 You could

00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:31.900
 easily see

00:18:31.900 --> 00:18:32.940
 how this

00:18:32.940 --> 00:18:33.799
 would be

00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:34.700
 justified as

00:18:34.700 --> 00:18:35.180
 this is what

00:18:35.180 --> 00:18:35.680
 God wants

00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:36.340
 us to do,

00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:37.980
 to worship

00:18:37.980 --> 00:18:38.220
 him.

00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:39.140
 But they're in

00:18:39.140 --> 00:18:39.620
 the outer

00:18:39.620 --> 00:18:40.460
 court of the

00:18:40.460 --> 00:18:40.740
 temple,

00:18:40.900 --> 00:18:41.580
 which is where

00:18:41.580 --> 00:18:42.660
 the nations

00:18:42.660 --> 00:18:43.180
 were allowed

00:18:43.180 --> 00:18:43.799
 to come in,

00:18:43.940 --> 00:18:45.360
 where the

00:18:45.360 --> 00:18:46.180
 lame and

00:18:46.180 --> 00:18:46.640
 the sick

00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:47.660
 and crippled

00:18:47.660 --> 00:18:49.380
 priests even

00:18:49.380 --> 00:18:49.880
 were allowed

00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:50.539
 to come into

00:18:50.539 --> 00:18:51.259
 that area

00:18:51.259 --> 00:18:51.799
 to worship.

00:18:52.059 --> 00:18:52.279
 They've

00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:52.920
 turned a

00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:53.400
 place of

00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:53.839
 worship

00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:56.180
 into a

00:18:56.180 --> 00:18:56.599
 place to

00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:57.119
 make money

00:18:57.119 --> 00:18:58.519
 and have

00:18:58.519 --> 00:18:59.339
 driven out

00:18:59.339 --> 00:19:02.059
 the nations

00:19:02.059 --> 00:19:05.259
 and the

00:19:05.259 --> 00:19:05.519
 sick.

00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:10.900
 He first

00:19:10.900 --> 00:19:11.720
 quotes Isaiah,

00:19:11.940 --> 00:19:12.579
 my house

00:19:12.579 --> 00:19:12.980
 shall be

00:19:12.980 --> 00:19:13.440
 called a

00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:13.940
 house of

00:19:13.940 --> 00:19:14.539
 prayer,

00:19:15.420 --> 00:19:15.740
 and the

00:19:15.740 --> 00:19:15.960
 end of

00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:16.500
 that quote,

00:19:17.700 --> 00:19:18.539
 for all

00:19:18.539 --> 00:19:19.200
 nations.

00:19:21.259 --> 00:19:22.980
 the immediate

00:19:22.980 --> 00:19:23.660
 context of

00:19:23.660 --> 00:19:24.119
 a lot of

00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:24.559
 these Old

00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:24.799
 Testament

00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:25.660
 passages is

00:19:25.660 --> 00:19:26.259
 he's claiming

00:19:26.259 --> 00:19:26.879
 to be king

00:19:26.879 --> 00:19:27.460
 of all

00:19:27.460 --> 00:19:27.879
 nations.

00:19:28.339 --> 00:19:28.700
 He's going

00:19:28.700 --> 00:19:29.200
 to bring

00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:30.660
 worship to

00:19:30.660 --> 00:19:31.359
 God for

00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:32.119
 all nations.

00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:34.599
 He then

00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:35.400
 quotes Jeremiah

00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:35.920
 7,

00:19:36.980 --> 00:19:38.440
 the den of

00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:38.900
 robbers.

00:19:39.059 --> 00:19:40.220
 Instead of

00:19:40.220 --> 00:19:41.400
 being a

00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:41.819
 house of

00:19:41.819 --> 00:19:42.240
 prayer,

00:19:42.779 --> 00:19:43.099
 proper

00:19:43.099 --> 00:19:43.559
 worship,

00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:46.579
 let me read

00:19:46.579 --> 00:19:46.980
 a bit from

00:19:46.980 --> 00:19:47.700
 Jeremiah 7.

00:19:47.700 --> 00:19:48.539
 will you

00:19:48.539 --> 00:19:49.259
 steal,

00:19:49.740 --> 00:19:50.120
 murder,

00:19:50.700 --> 00:19:50.960
 commit

00:19:50.960 --> 00:19:51.559
 adultery,

00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:52.019
 swear

00:19:52.019 --> 00:19:52.660
 falsely,

00:19:52.779 --> 00:19:52.980
 make

00:19:52.980 --> 00:19:53.660
 offerings to

00:19:53.660 --> 00:19:54.100
 Baal,

00:19:54.299 --> 00:19:54.720
 and go

00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:55.299
 after other

00:19:55.299 --> 00:19:55.840
 gods that

00:19:55.840 --> 00:19:56.200
 you have

00:19:56.200 --> 00:19:56.740
 not known,

00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:57.039
 and then

00:19:57.039 --> 00:19:57.519
 come and

00:19:57.519 --> 00:19:58.140
 stand before

00:19:58.140 --> 00:19:58.559
 me in

00:19:58.559 --> 00:19:59.140
 this house,

00:19:59.480 --> 00:19:59.819
 which is

00:19:59.819 --> 00:20:00.240
 called by

00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:00.799
 my name,

00:20:00.840 --> 00:20:01.200
 and say,

00:20:01.299 --> 00:20:01.539
 we are

00:20:01.539 --> 00:20:01.920
 delivered,

00:20:02.500 --> 00:20:03.000
 only to

00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:03.400
 go on

00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:03.900
 doing all

00:20:03.900 --> 00:20:04.080
 these

00:20:04.080 --> 00:20:04.900
 abominations?

00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:05.720
 Has

00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:06.360
 this house

00:20:06.360 --> 00:20:07.460
 which is

00:20:07.460 --> 00:20:07.860
 called by

00:20:07.860 --> 00:20:08.220
 my name

00:20:08.220 --> 00:20:08.660
 become a

00:20:08.660 --> 00:20:08.960
 den of

00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:09.460
 robbers in

00:20:09.460 --> 00:20:10.080
 your eyes?

00:20:11.080 --> 00:20:11.500
 Now,

00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:11.980
 because you

00:20:11.980 --> 00:20:12.340
 have done

00:20:12.340 --> 00:20:12.740
 all these

00:20:12.740 --> 00:20:13.059
 things,

00:20:13.180 --> 00:20:13.640
 declares the

00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:13.819
 Lord,

00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:14.299
 and when I

00:20:14.299 --> 00:20:14.940
 spoke to

00:20:14.940 --> 00:20:15.940
 you persistently,

00:20:16.279 --> 00:20:17.039
 you did not

00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:17.599
 listen,

00:20:18.539 --> 00:20:19.119
 and when I

00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:19.740
 called you,

00:20:19.819 --> 00:20:20.359
 you did not

00:20:20.359 --> 00:20:20.920
 answer,

00:20:21.399 --> 00:20:22.359
 I will cast

00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:23.319
 you out of

00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:24.299
 my sight.

00:20:26.500 --> 00:20:27.539
 They had a

00:20:27.539 --> 00:20:28.579
 false security

00:20:28.579 --> 00:20:29.720
 in their

00:20:29.720 --> 00:20:30.799
 religious deeds,

00:20:30.940 --> 00:20:31.279
 but they

00:20:31.279 --> 00:20:31.539
 weren't

00:20:31.539 --> 00:20:32.440
 listening to

00:20:32.440 --> 00:20:33.119
 what God

00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:36.200
 is saying.

00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:42.700
 our greatest

00:20:42.700 --> 00:20:43.360
 problem is

00:20:43.360 --> 00:20:44.000
 our worship

00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:44.920
 problem.

00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:48.160
 It's not

00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:48.840
 external,

00:20:49.299 --> 00:20:50.000
 someone

00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:51.799
 outside of

00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:52.019
 us,

00:20:52.100 --> 00:20:53.220
 or something

00:20:53.220 --> 00:20:53.819
 happening to

00:20:53.819 --> 00:20:53.940
 us.

00:20:53.980 --> 00:20:54.500
 Our greatest

00:20:54.500 --> 00:20:55.200
 problem is

00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:55.779
 our worship

00:20:55.779 --> 00:20:56.080
 problem.

00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:56.880
 He's come to

00:20:56.880 --> 00:20:57.819
 put us at

00:20:57.819 --> 00:20:58.460
 peace with

00:20:58.460 --> 00:20:58.840
 God,

00:20:58.960 --> 00:20:59.519
 right with

00:20:59.519 --> 00:20:59.799
 God.

00:20:59.860 --> 00:21:00.140
 He's come

00:21:00.140 --> 00:21:00.580
 to bring the

00:21:00.580 --> 00:21:01.220
 whole world

00:21:01.220 --> 00:21:02.039
 right with

00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:02.400
 God.

00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:10.800
 peace with

00:21:10.800 --> 00:21:11.140
 God,

00:21:11.140 --> 00:21:11.400
 and we

00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:11.680
 get a

00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:12.220
 glimpse of

00:21:12.220 --> 00:21:12.940
 how he

00:21:12.940 --> 00:21:13.560
 brings peace

00:21:13.560 --> 00:21:13.980
 with God.

00:21:14.580 --> 00:21:15.280
 He doesn't

00:21:15.280 --> 00:21:16.220
 help the

00:21:16.220 --> 00:21:16.980
 worshipers coming

00:21:16.980 --> 00:21:17.300
 to the

00:21:17.300 --> 00:21:18.660
 temple in

00:21:18.660 --> 00:21:19.040
 offering

00:21:19.040 --> 00:21:19.860
 sacrifices.

00:21:20.540 --> 00:21:22.860
 He inserts

00:21:22.860 --> 00:21:25.460
 himself as

00:21:25.460 --> 00:21:26.480
 greater than

00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:26.900
 the temple.

00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:27.880
 That's how

00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:28.140
 he's going

00:21:28.140 --> 00:21:28.400
 to bring

00:21:28.400 --> 00:21:28.800
 peace,

00:21:28.900 --> 00:21:29.360
 not by

00:21:29.360 --> 00:21:29.920
 helping you

00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:30.440
 worship at

00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:30.820
 the temple,

00:21:31.820 --> 00:21:32.720
 but he

00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:33.360
 inserts

00:21:33.360 --> 00:21:33.900
 himself.

00:21:36.460 --> 00:21:36.940
 Now,

00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:37.500
 where am I

00:21:37.500 --> 00:21:37.860
 getting this

00:21:37.860 --> 00:21:38.080
 from?

00:21:39.480 --> 00:21:40.380
 You don't

00:21:40.380 --> 00:21:40.880
 have the

00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:41.400
 right to

00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:41.860
 walk into

00:21:41.860 --> 00:21:42.640
 my house

00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:44.039
 and move

00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:44.800
 my lounges

00:21:44.800 --> 00:21:45.740
 around if

00:21:45.740 --> 00:21:46.100
 you think

00:21:46.100 --> 00:21:46.519
 I've got it

00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:46.900
 in the wrong

00:21:46.900 --> 00:21:47.259
 spot.

00:21:47.600 --> 00:21:47.980
 You don't

00:21:47.980 --> 00:21:48.240
 have the

00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:48.500
 right.

00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:49.340
 If you

00:21:49.340 --> 00:21:49.720
 think my

00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:50.220
 cling wrap

00:21:50.220 --> 00:21:50.640
 is in

00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:50.940
 the wrong

00:21:50.940 --> 00:21:51.340
 drawer,

00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:53.680
 I don't

00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:53.980
 care.

00:21:54.360 --> 00:21:55.220
 It's my

00:21:55.220 --> 00:21:55.800
 house.

00:21:57.940 --> 00:21:58.340
 Or our

00:21:58.340 --> 00:21:58.640
 house.

00:21:58.640 --> 00:22:05.940
 Him

00:22:05.940 --> 00:22:06.540
 going in

00:22:06.540 --> 00:22:06.920
 there,

00:22:08.420 --> 00:22:09.620
 do you

00:22:09.620 --> 00:22:10.340
 see the

00:22:10.340 --> 00:22:10.880
 claim he's

00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:11.220
 making?

00:22:13.740 --> 00:22:14.600
 The only

00:22:14.600 --> 00:22:15.380
 person who

00:22:15.380 --> 00:22:15.600
 has the

00:22:15.600 --> 00:22:15.920
 right to

00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:16.940
 walk into

00:22:16.940 --> 00:22:17.480
 a house

00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:18.520
 and rearrange

00:22:18.520 --> 00:22:19.240
 stuff is

00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:20.240
 its owner.

00:22:23.980 --> 00:22:24.620
 He's

00:22:24.620 --> 00:22:25.120
 inserting

00:22:25.120 --> 00:22:25.460
 himself.

00:22:25.560 --> 00:22:26.100
 The blind

00:22:26.100 --> 00:22:26.380
 and the

00:22:26.380 --> 00:22:27.020
 lame

00:22:27.019 --> 00:22:30.279
 come to

00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:30.559
 him.

00:22:30.660 --> 00:22:30.920
 They don't

00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:31.180
 go to

00:22:31.180 --> 00:22:31.519
 the chief

00:22:31.519 --> 00:22:31.960
 priest.

00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:33.480
 Chief

00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:33.779
 priest,

00:22:33.879 --> 00:22:34.319
 intercede

00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:34.660
 for us

00:22:34.660 --> 00:22:34.980
 for God.

00:22:35.500 --> 00:22:35.819
 No.

00:22:36.779 --> 00:22:37.160
 They come

00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:37.639
 to him.

00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:42.660
 I watched

00:22:42.660 --> 00:22:43.379
 this documentary

00:22:43.379 --> 00:22:45.519
 biography,

00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:46.379
 Notes on

00:22:46.379 --> 00:22:47.059
 Blindness.

00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:47.900
 It was on

00:22:47.900 --> 00:22:48.180
 Netflix.

00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:48.500
 I haven't

00:22:48.500 --> 00:22:48.859
 checked it

00:22:48.859 --> 00:22:49.160
 recently.

00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:49.559
 This was a

00:22:49.559 --> 00:22:49.799
 couple of

00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:50.220
 years ago.

00:22:50.220 --> 00:22:52.079
 This guy

00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:53.220
 used to be

00:22:53.220 --> 00:22:53.420
 able to

00:22:53.420 --> 00:22:54.019
 fully see

00:22:54.019 --> 00:22:54.819
 but his

00:22:54.819 --> 00:22:55.140
 eyes

00:22:55.140 --> 00:22:55.839
 degenerated

00:22:55.839 --> 00:22:58.019
 quickly to

00:22:58.019 --> 00:22:58.319
 the point

00:22:58.319 --> 00:22:58.980
 of total

00:22:58.980 --> 00:23:00.059
 blindness and

00:23:00.059 --> 00:23:00.720
 Christmas

00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:01.799
 Day was

00:23:01.799 --> 00:23:03.120
 agony for

00:23:03.120 --> 00:23:04.100
 him because

00:23:04.100 --> 00:23:04.579
 he could

00:23:04.579 --> 00:23:05.240
 hear his

00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:05.559
 children

00:23:05.559 --> 00:23:13.279
 opening in the

00:23:13.279 --> 00:23:13.799
 presents but

00:23:13.799 --> 00:23:14.200
 he couldn't

00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:14.860
 see their

00:23:14.860 --> 00:23:15.440
 smiles.

00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:15.539
 eyes.

00:23:17.539 --> 00:23:18.200
 He felt

00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:19.000
 so cut

00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:19.600
 off from

00:23:19.600 --> 00:23:20.500
 his family.

00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:22.420
 He couldn't

00:23:22.420 --> 00:23:23.299
 see his

00:23:23.299 --> 00:23:24.000
 newborn

00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:24.600
 daughter's

00:23:24.600 --> 00:23:25.100
 face.

00:23:27.779 --> 00:23:28.080
 These

00:23:28.080 --> 00:23:29.660
 guys or

00:23:29.660 --> 00:23:29.920
 girls,

00:23:30.059 --> 00:23:30.240
 whoever,

00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:31.400
 these blind

00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:31.840
 and lame

00:23:31.840 --> 00:23:32.700
 coming would

00:23:32.700 --> 00:23:33.700
 have felt so

00:23:33.700 --> 00:23:35.019
 cut off

00:23:35.019 --> 00:23:37.120
 from God

00:23:37.120 --> 00:23:37.700
 and under

00:23:37.700 --> 00:23:38.420
 curse,

00:23:39.380 --> 00:23:40.180
 punished by

00:23:40.180 --> 00:23:40.460
 him.

00:23:40.460 --> 00:23:43.759
 this is a

00:23:43.759 --> 00:23:45.340
 little word.

00:23:45.500 --> 00:23:45.799
 If you're

00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:46.100
 feeling

00:23:46.100 --> 00:23:46.680
 unworthy,

00:23:47.620 --> 00:23:47.980
 look,

00:23:48.100 --> 00:23:48.539
 they come

00:23:48.539 --> 00:23:49.160
 to him

00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:50.720
 and he

00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:51.240
 receives

00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:51.480
 them,

00:23:51.840 --> 00:23:52.380
 he heals

00:23:52.380 --> 00:23:52.660
 them,

00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:53.920
 he welcomes,

00:23:54.620 --> 00:23:55.000
 he gives

00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:55.279
 all the

00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:55.779
 blessing of

00:23:55.779 --> 00:23:56.200
 God to

00:23:56.200 --> 00:23:56.319
 them,

00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:57.059
 he restores

00:23:57.059 --> 00:23:57.180
 them.

00:23:57.180 --> 00:23:57.420
 I think

00:23:57.420 --> 00:23:57.940
 the bodily

00:23:57.940 --> 00:23:58.539
 restoration

00:23:58.539 --> 00:23:59.279
 is just

00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:00.059
 an image

00:24:00.059 --> 00:24:00.380
 of the

00:24:00.380 --> 00:24:01.000
 spiritual

00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:01.480
 restoration,

00:24:01.740 --> 00:24:02.319
 the whole

00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:02.980
 restoration

00:24:02.980 --> 00:24:03.660
 he brings.

00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:05.559
 He's

00:24:05.559 --> 00:24:06.019
 inserting

00:24:06.019 --> 00:24:06.440
 himself.

00:24:06.980 --> 00:24:07.480
 Don't get

00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:07.920
 right with

00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:08.259
 God

00:24:08.259 --> 00:24:10.319
 through the

00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:10.599
 temple,

00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:11.019
 but through

00:24:11.019 --> 00:24:11.359
 me.

00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:20.879
 And these

00:24:20.879 --> 00:24:21.139
 little

00:24:21.139 --> 00:24:21.619
 children

00:24:21.619 --> 00:24:22.879
 are

00:24:22.879 --> 00:24:23.639
 praising

00:24:23.639 --> 00:24:23.899
 him.

00:24:24.059 --> 00:24:24.079
 They're

00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:25.500
 not wise

00:24:25.500 --> 00:24:26.339
 enough to

00:24:26.339 --> 00:24:28.000
 probably know

00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:28.619
 the significance

00:24:28.619 --> 00:24:29.139
 of all that

00:24:29.139 --> 00:24:29.559
 was happening

00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:30.059
 that day,

00:24:30.159 --> 00:24:31.159
 but they're

00:24:31.159 --> 00:24:31.740
 these little

00:24:31.740 --> 00:24:32.220
 dependent

00:24:32.220 --> 00:24:33.159
 children without

00:24:33.159 --> 00:24:33.919
 skepticism,

00:24:34.159 --> 00:24:34.480
 without

00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:36.759
 worrying what

00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:37.439
 others think.

00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:37.899
 They're just

00:24:37.899 --> 00:24:38.740
 echoing the

00:24:38.740 --> 00:24:39.500
 crowds in

00:24:39.500 --> 00:24:40.059
 the street,

00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:41.899
 unashamedly

00:24:41.899 --> 00:24:42.579
 joyfully

00:24:42.579 --> 00:24:43.179
 chanting

00:24:43.179 --> 00:24:45.179
 in the

00:24:45.179 --> 00:24:45.539
 temple.

00:24:48.500 --> 00:24:49.339
 Save us,

00:24:49.439 --> 00:24:49.919
 Hosanna,

00:24:50.659 --> 00:24:51.039
 to the

00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:51.359
 son of

00:24:51.359 --> 00:24:51.679
 David.

00:24:55.639 --> 00:24:56.480
 But the

00:24:56.480 --> 00:24:56.980
 first,

00:24:57.159 --> 00:24:57.799
 those thinking

00:24:57.799 --> 00:24:58.879
 they are

00:24:58.879 --> 00:25:00.359
 strong,

00:25:00.579 --> 00:25:01.220
 those thinking

00:25:01.220 --> 00:25:01.599
 they have

00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:02.419
 something to

00:25:02.419 --> 00:25:02.960
 offer God,

00:25:03.019 --> 00:25:03.359
 that God

00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:03.980
 needs them

00:25:03.980 --> 00:25:04.419
 somehow,

00:25:05.419 --> 00:25:06.240
 the so-called

00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:06.659
 expert,

00:25:06.779 --> 00:25:07.619
 the irony is

00:25:07.619 --> 00:25:08.459
 they see

00:25:08.459 --> 00:25:09.139
 the wonderful

00:25:09.139 --> 00:25:10.159
 things he's

00:25:10.159 --> 00:25:10.599
 doing,

00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:12.759
 but they

00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:13.659
 remain willfully

00:25:13.659 --> 00:25:14.699
 blind and

00:25:14.699 --> 00:25:16.559
 they're offended

00:25:16.559 --> 00:25:17.159
 by him,

00:25:18.159 --> 00:25:19.719
 they're angry,

00:25:20.879 --> 00:25:24.279
 they're

00:25:24.279 --> 00:25:24.759
 questioned.

00:25:24.919 --> 00:25:25.319
 Don't you

00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:26.019
 hear what

00:25:26.019 --> 00:25:26.500
 these little

00:25:26.500 --> 00:25:27.239
 children are

00:25:27.239 --> 00:25:27.719
 saying?

00:25:28.259 --> 00:25:28.919
 I think

00:25:28.919 --> 00:25:29.259
 it's,

00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:30.359
 everyone in

00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:31.359
 the streets

00:25:31.359 --> 00:25:32.039
 yelling it,

00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:32.680
 I think,

00:25:33.019 --> 00:25:33.420
 I suspect

00:25:33.420 --> 00:25:33.859
 the problem

00:25:33.859 --> 00:25:34.379
 is they're

00:25:34.379 --> 00:25:34.659
 in the

00:25:34.659 --> 00:25:34.960
 temple,

00:25:35.539 --> 00:25:36.019
 they're in

00:25:36.019 --> 00:25:36.539
 the temple

00:25:36.539 --> 00:25:38.980
 and they're

00:25:38.980 --> 00:25:39.779
 praising you.

00:25:39.779 --> 00:25:43.460
 You know

00:25:43.460 --> 00:25:43.960
 when you ask

00:25:43.960 --> 00:25:44.319
 a question,

00:25:44.420 --> 00:25:44.839
 like if a

00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:45.220
 parent in

00:25:45.220 --> 00:25:45.519
 the room

00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:46.059
 today is

00:25:46.059 --> 00:25:46.299
 like,

00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:47.759
 don't you

00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:48.099
 know we're

00:25:48.099 --> 00:25:48.660
 in church?

00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:51.619
 That's an

00:25:51.619 --> 00:25:52.139
 instruction.

00:25:53.639 --> 00:25:54.940
 That's not a

00:25:54.940 --> 00:25:55.240
 question,

00:25:55.420 --> 00:25:56.079
 it's really

00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:56.420
 going,

00:25:57.099 --> 00:25:57.379
 Jesus,

00:25:58.379 --> 00:25:58.960
 do you

00:25:58.960 --> 00:25:59.339
 hear what

00:25:59.339 --> 00:25:59.539
 they're

00:25:59.539 --> 00:25:59.839
 saying?

00:26:01.859 --> 00:26:02.299
 You

00:26:02.299 --> 00:26:02.740
 better do

00:26:02.740 --> 00:26:03.259
 something about

00:26:03.259 --> 00:26:03.539
 this.

00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:04.379
 They are

00:26:04.379 --> 00:26:06.000
 praising you

00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:08.379
 here in

00:26:08.379 --> 00:26:09.000
 this place

00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:09.379
 when they

00:26:09.380 --> 00:26:09.660
 should be

00:26:09.660 --> 00:26:10.360
 praising God.

00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:10.920
 If you

00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:11.920
 keep accepting

00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:12.880
 this here,

00:26:14.040 --> 00:26:16.200
 you are

00:26:16.200 --> 00:26:16.580
 really

00:26:16.580 --> 00:26:17.440
 blaspheming.

00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:18.700
 You

00:26:18.700 --> 00:26:19.160
 better do

00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:19.660
 something about

00:26:19.660 --> 00:26:19.900
 this,

00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:20.220
 Jesus.

00:26:20.660 --> 00:26:21.360
 And he

00:26:21.360 --> 00:26:21.860
 could not

00:26:21.860 --> 00:26:22.500
 have poured

00:26:22.500 --> 00:26:23.360
 more fuel

00:26:23.360 --> 00:26:23.760
 on the

00:26:23.760 --> 00:26:25.060
 fire at

00:26:25.060 --> 00:26:25.500
 this point.

00:26:25.560 --> 00:26:26.060
 I love

00:26:26.060 --> 00:26:26.800
 his response.

00:26:27.060 --> 00:26:27.360
 Do you

00:26:27.360 --> 00:26:27.740
 hear what

00:26:27.740 --> 00:26:27.980
 they're

00:26:27.980 --> 00:26:28.360
 saying?

00:26:30.580 --> 00:26:31.060
 Yes?

00:26:34.580 --> 00:26:35.260
 I thought

00:26:35.260 --> 00:26:35.520
 you were

00:26:35.520 --> 00:26:36.160
 experts.

00:26:37.220 --> 00:26:37.540
 Haven't

00:26:37.540 --> 00:26:38.000
 you read

00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:39.619
 Psalm 8?

00:26:40.539 --> 00:26:41.240
 Out of

00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:41.680
 the mouth

00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:42.420
 of infants

00:26:42.420 --> 00:26:43.079
 and nursing

00:26:43.079 --> 00:26:43.740
 babies you

00:26:43.740 --> 00:26:44.420
 have prepared

00:26:44.420 --> 00:26:45.220
 praise.

00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:48.759
 Now,

00:26:49.859 --> 00:26:50.700
 Psalm 8

00:26:50.700 --> 00:26:53.119
 is children

00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:54.279
 praising

00:26:54.279 --> 00:26:55.380
 Yahweh.

00:26:55.380 --> 00:26:55.440
 Yahweh.

00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:59.660
 they're

00:26:59.660 --> 00:27:04.360
 praising me

00:27:04.360 --> 00:27:07.960
 and they

00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:08.340
 should keep

00:27:08.340 --> 00:27:08.960
 praising me.

00:27:11.620 --> 00:27:12.279
 I'm not

00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:12.680
 only the

00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:12.960
 son of

00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:13.259
 David,

00:27:13.360 --> 00:27:13.640
 I'm the

00:27:13.640 --> 00:27:13.920
 son of

00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:14.279
 God.

00:27:14.900 --> 00:27:15.380
 He

00:27:15.380 --> 00:27:16.100
 inserts

00:27:16.100 --> 00:27:16.720
 himself.

00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:18.440
 Someone

00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:19.120
 greater than

00:27:19.120 --> 00:27:19.559
 the temple

00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:20.140
 is here.

00:27:21.500 --> 00:27:22.100
 The Lord,

00:27:22.259 --> 00:27:22.720
 as the

00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:22.980
 prophet

00:27:22.980 --> 00:27:23.320
 Malachi

00:27:23.320 --> 00:27:23.640
 said,

00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:24.120
 the Lord

00:27:24.120 --> 00:27:24.500
 whom you

00:27:24.500 --> 00:27:24.900
 seek will

00:27:24.900 --> 00:27:25.280
 suddenly

00:27:25.280 --> 00:27:25.759
 come to

00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:26.320
 his temple.

00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:27.560
 He's

00:27:27.560 --> 00:27:28.040
 pushing

00:27:28.040 --> 00:27:28.400
 them to

00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:28.860
 the point,

00:27:29.060 --> 00:27:29.340
 crown

00:27:29.340 --> 00:27:29.780
 me.

00:27:31.540 --> 00:27:31.900
 Crown

00:27:31.900 --> 00:27:32.200
 me.

00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:34.259
 Or

00:27:34.259 --> 00:27:34.500
 kill

00:27:34.500 --> 00:27:34.740
 me.

00:27:35.740 --> 00:27:36.020
 He's

00:27:36.020 --> 00:27:36.360
 humble.

00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:37.200
 Yes,

00:27:37.320 --> 00:27:38.280
 he is so

00:27:38.280 --> 00:27:38.660
 humble.

00:27:41.060 --> 00:27:41.700
 But he's

00:27:41.700 --> 00:27:42.120
 come to

00:27:42.120 --> 00:27:42.540
 fix our

00:27:42.540 --> 00:27:42.900
 worship

00:27:42.900 --> 00:27:43.240
 problem.

00:27:43.240 --> 00:27:45.940
 I think

00:27:45.940 --> 00:27:46.540
 the implication

00:27:46.540 --> 00:27:47.220
 of this is

00:27:47.220 --> 00:27:48.259
 there's no

00:27:48.259 --> 00:27:48.780
 nook or

00:27:48.780 --> 00:27:49.280
 cranny of

00:27:49.280 --> 00:27:49.980
 your life

00:27:49.980 --> 00:27:51.099
 where he

00:27:51.099 --> 00:27:52.799
 won't stop

00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:53.920
 inserting

00:27:53.920 --> 00:27:54.839
 himself into

00:27:54.839 --> 00:27:55.579
 my life

00:27:55.579 --> 00:27:55.960
 and your

00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:56.319
 life.

00:27:56.460 --> 00:27:56.759
 There is

00:27:56.759 --> 00:27:57.099
 not a

00:27:57.099 --> 00:27:57.440
 nook or

00:27:57.440 --> 00:27:57.660
 cranny.

00:27:57.860 --> 00:27:57.920
 There's

00:27:57.920 --> 00:27:58.480
 nothing.

00:27:58.819 --> 00:27:59.140
 Your

00:27:59.140 --> 00:27:59.599
 spouse,

00:27:59.720 --> 00:27:59.819
 your

00:27:59.819 --> 00:28:00.259
 children,

00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:00.860
 your

00:28:00.860 --> 00:28:01.360
 dreams and

00:28:01.360 --> 00:28:01.920
 aspirations,

00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:02.640
 he is

00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:03.279
 inserting

00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:03.720
 himself

00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:04.000
 saying,

00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:04.460
 crown

00:28:04.460 --> 00:28:04.839
 me.

00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:08.259
 He's

00:28:08.259 --> 00:28:08.559
 come to

00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:08.960
 fix our

00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:09.319
 worship

00:28:09.319 --> 00:28:09.819
 problem.

00:28:09.819 --> 00:28:17.220
 There's

00:28:17.220 --> 00:28:17.539
 no one

00:28:17.539 --> 00:28:17.980
 like him.

00:28:18.899 --> 00:28:19.240
 He's

00:28:19.240 --> 00:28:19.659
 so

00:28:19.659 --> 00:28:20.179
 humble

00:28:20.179 --> 00:28:20.879
 and gentle

00:28:20.879 --> 00:28:21.740
 and lowly

00:28:21.740 --> 00:28:22.619
 that

00:28:22.619 --> 00:28:23.139
 children

00:28:23.139 --> 00:28:23.700
 are drawn

00:28:23.700 --> 00:28:24.159
 to him,

00:28:25.019 --> 00:28:25.720
 prostitutes

00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:26.179
 are drawn

00:28:26.179 --> 00:28:26.679
 to him,

00:28:28.339 --> 00:28:29.279
 outcasts,

00:28:29.339 --> 00:28:29.700
 foreigners

00:28:29.700 --> 00:28:30.359
 are drawn

00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:30.759
 to him,

00:28:31.939 --> 00:28:32.279
 those

00:28:32.279 --> 00:28:32.759
 feeling

00:28:32.759 --> 00:28:33.359
 utterly

00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:35.099
 unworthy

00:28:35.099 --> 00:28:35.799
 are drawn

00:28:35.799 --> 00:28:36.319
 to him.

00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:39.939
 and

00:28:39.939 --> 00:28:40.720
 received.

00:28:42.139 --> 00:28:42.700
 There's

00:28:42.700 --> 00:28:43.000
 no one

00:28:43.000 --> 00:28:43.439
 like him

00:28:43.439 --> 00:28:43.819
 and yet

00:28:43.819 --> 00:28:46.379
 he

00:28:46.379 --> 00:28:46.980
 inserts

00:28:46.980 --> 00:28:47.379
 himself,

00:28:48.700 --> 00:28:49.039
 crown

00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:49.339
 me.

00:28:56.519 --> 00:28:57.159
 I think

00:28:57.159 --> 00:28:57.359
 this

00:28:57.359 --> 00:28:57.939
 passage is

00:28:57.939 --> 00:28:58.319
 pushing

00:28:58.319 --> 00:28:58.899
 us to

00:28:58.899 --> 00:28:59.279
 the same

00:28:59.279 --> 00:28:59.759
 point that

00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:00.200
 he pushed

00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:00.759
 the religious

00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:01.359
 leaders

00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:02.960
 and the

00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:03.399
 crowd on

00:29:03.399 --> 00:29:03.779
 that day,

00:29:03.919 --> 00:29:04.259
 crown

00:29:04.259 --> 00:29:04.579
 me.

00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:06.759
 I will

00:29:06.759 --> 00:29:07.259
 not just

00:29:07.259 --> 00:29:07.460
 be

00:29:07.460 --> 00:29:07.960
 liked.

00:29:09.700 --> 00:29:10.279
 I will

00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:10.619
 not be

00:29:10.619 --> 00:29:10.799
 your

00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:11.200
 personal

00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:11.980
 assistant.

00:29:15.859 --> 00:29:16.460
 All

00:29:16.460 --> 00:29:16.700
 your

00:29:16.700 --> 00:29:17.099
 worship

00:29:17.099 --> 00:29:17.419
 should

00:29:17.419 --> 00:29:17.779
 be

00:29:17.779 --> 00:29:18.419
 directed

00:29:18.419 --> 00:29:18.639
 at

00:29:18.639 --> 00:29:18.939
 me.

00:29:23.220 --> 00:29:23.819
 There's

00:29:23.819 --> 00:29:26.119
 a good

00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:26.619
 quote by

00:29:26.619 --> 00:29:27.480
 Reynolds Price

00:29:27.480 --> 00:29:29.339
 that captures

00:29:29.339 --> 00:29:31.319
 the

00:29:31.319 --> 00:29:31.819
 offence

00:29:31.819 --> 00:29:32.220
 of the

00:29:32.220 --> 00:29:32.659
 Gospels.

00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:33.359
 He says,

00:29:33.539 --> 00:29:34.319
 if 2,000

00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:34.919
 years of

00:29:34.919 --> 00:29:35.559
 pious

00:29:35.559 --> 00:29:36.259
 handling

00:29:36.259 --> 00:29:36.779
 handling of

00:29:36.779 --> 00:29:38.200
 this

00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:38.960
 gospel,

00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:41.099
 if 2,000

00:29:41.099 --> 00:29:41.519
 years of

00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:42.299
 this pious

00:29:42.299 --> 00:29:43.059
 handling had

00:29:43.059 --> 00:29:43.920
 not dimmed

00:29:43.920 --> 00:29:44.900
 our understanding

00:29:44.900 --> 00:29:45.980
 of this

00:29:45.980 --> 00:29:46.579
 story's

00:29:46.579 --> 00:29:47.059
 demand,

00:29:47.460 --> 00:29:48.140
 his gospel

00:29:48.140 --> 00:29:48.779
 would still

00:29:48.779 --> 00:29:49.500
 be seen as

00:29:49.500 --> 00:29:50.160
 the burning

00:29:50.160 --> 00:29:51.099
 outrage it

00:29:51.099 --> 00:29:52.059
 really continues

00:29:52.059 --> 00:29:52.519
 to be.

00:29:52.859 --> 00:29:53.180
 It is

00:29:53.180 --> 00:29:53.660
 either a

00:29:53.660 --> 00:29:54.079
 work of

00:29:54.079 --> 00:29:54.740
 madness or

00:29:54.740 --> 00:29:55.539
 a blinding

00:29:55.539 --> 00:29:56.180
 revelation.

00:29:56.839 --> 00:29:57.400
 The acts

00:29:57.400 --> 00:29:58.200
 it portrays,

00:29:58.259 --> 00:29:58.859
 the claims

00:29:58.859 --> 00:29:59.980
 it advances

00:29:59.980 --> 00:30:00.420
 from the

00:30:00.420 --> 00:30:00.960
 very first

00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:01.379
 paragraph,

00:30:02.119 --> 00:30:02.900
 demand that

00:30:02.900 --> 00:30:03.359
 we make a

00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:04.119
 hard choice.

00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:05.339
 If we

00:30:05.339 --> 00:30:05.759
 take the

00:30:05.759 --> 00:30:06.039
 gospel

00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:06.339
 writer

00:30:06.339 --> 00:30:06.839
 seriously,

00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:07.399
 we must

00:30:07.399 --> 00:30:08.279
 finally ask

00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:08.839
 the question

00:30:08.839 --> 00:30:10.019
 he thrusts

00:30:10.019 --> 00:30:10.459
 so

00:30:10.459 --> 00:30:11.239
 fragrantly

00:30:11.239 --> 00:30:12.000
 towards us.

00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:13.919
 Does he

00:30:13.919 --> 00:30:14.319
 bring us

00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:14.799
 a life

00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:15.339
 transforming

00:30:15.339 --> 00:30:15.839
 truth?

00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:17.879
 Or is

00:30:17.879 --> 00:30:18.399
 this one

00:30:18.399 --> 00:30:18.919
 gifted

00:30:18.919 --> 00:30:19.679
 lunatic's

00:30:19.679 --> 00:30:20.279
 tale of

00:30:20.279 --> 00:30:20.599
 another

00:30:20.599 --> 00:30:21.199
 lunatic

00:30:21.199 --> 00:30:22.759
 wilder

00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:23.199
 than he?

00:30:26.479 --> 00:30:26.959
 He's

00:30:26.959 --> 00:30:27.159
 saying,

00:30:27.219 --> 00:30:27.759
 crown me.

00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:33.500
 many

00:30:33.500 --> 00:30:34.339
 question why

00:30:34.339 --> 00:30:34.920
 God doesn't

00:30:34.920 --> 00:30:35.400
 end all

00:30:35.400 --> 00:30:35.700
 evil.

00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:36.660
 Why

00:30:36.660 --> 00:30:37.079
 doesn't he

00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:37.799
 end sickness?

00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:38.240
 Why

00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:38.599
 doesn't he

00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:39.799
 end war?

00:30:40.140 --> 00:30:40.400
 Why

00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:40.819
 doesn't he

00:30:40.819 --> 00:30:41.359
 end the

00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:42.140
 oppression of

00:30:42.140 --> 00:30:42.859
 the vulnerable,

00:30:43.059 --> 00:30:43.420
 all the

00:30:43.420 --> 00:30:44.119
 injustice?

00:30:44.359 --> 00:30:44.759
 Why doesn't

00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:45.519
 he end all

00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:45.819
 that?

00:30:46.460 --> 00:30:46.940
 And he

00:30:46.940 --> 00:30:47.960
 promises he

00:30:47.960 --> 00:30:48.379
 will.

00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:49.440
 A day is

00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:49.960
 coming where

00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:50.539
 he will be

00:30:50.539 --> 00:30:51.279
 declared a

00:30:51.279 --> 00:30:51.980
 second time

00:30:51.980 --> 00:30:52.539
 and he

00:30:52.539 --> 00:30:53.079
 will be

00:30:53.079 --> 00:30:53.660
 riding a

00:30:53.660 --> 00:30:54.259
 horse on

00:30:54.259 --> 00:30:54.740
 that day

00:30:54.740 --> 00:30:55.420
 and he

00:30:55.420 --> 00:30:56.180
 will end

00:30:56.180 --> 00:30:56.940
 all evil.

00:30:57.759 --> 00:30:58.980
 But today

00:30:58.980 --> 00:31:01.099
 he's

00:31:01.099 --> 00:31:01.519
 ridden on

00:31:01.519 --> 00:31:01.980
 a donkey

00:31:01.980 --> 00:31:04.779
 because he's

00:31:04.779 --> 00:31:05.160
 going to

00:31:05.160 --> 00:31:05.819
 the cross

00:31:05.819 --> 00:31:09.200
 to die

00:31:09.200 --> 00:31:09.440
 in our

00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:10.940
 place so

00:31:10.940 --> 00:31:11.279
 that when

00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:11.720
 he ends

00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:12.200
 all evil

00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:12.680
 he doesn't

00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:12.980
 have to

00:31:12.980 --> 00:31:13.640
 end you

00:31:13.640 --> 00:31:15.400
 and me.

00:31:19.180 --> 00:31:19.740
 Don't

00:31:19.740 --> 00:31:20.359
 waste this

00:31:20.359 --> 00:31:21.140
 brief,

00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:22.539
 brief moment

00:31:22.539 --> 00:31:23.640
 of his

00:31:23.640 --> 00:31:24.680
 humiliation.

00:31:24.680 --> 00:31:24.779
 confession.

00:31:26.840 --> 00:31:27.700
 Come and

00:31:27.700 --> 00:31:28.440
 find rest

00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:29.160
 for your

00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:29.740
 souls.

00:31:37.220 --> 00:31:38.140
 Feel the

00:31:38.140 --> 00:31:38.560
 confrontation

00:31:38.560 --> 00:31:39.200
 of this

00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:39.660
 passage.

00:31:39.799 --> 00:31:39.900
 He's

00:31:39.900 --> 00:31:40.120
 saying

00:31:40.120 --> 00:31:40.580
 crown

00:31:40.580 --> 00:31:40.920
 me.

00:31:45.299 --> 00:31:45.980
 Give

00:31:45.980 --> 00:31:46.340
 yourself

00:31:46.340 --> 00:31:47.019
 totally

00:31:47.019 --> 00:31:47.680
 to me.

00:31:48.060 --> 00:31:48.519
 I am

00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:49.240
 gentle

00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:50.840
 and lowly

00:31:50.840 --> 00:31:51.320
 in heart

00:31:51.320 --> 00:31:51.759
 and you'll

00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:52.360
 find rest

00:31:52.360 --> 00:31:52.740
 for your

00:31:52.740 --> 00:31:53.200
 souls.

00:31:53.580 --> 00:31:53.840
 Crown

00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:54.059
 me.

00:32:04.059 --> 00:32:04.799
 I think

00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:05.059
 the other

00:32:05.059 --> 00:32:05.379
 thing we

00:32:05.379 --> 00:32:05.720
 should take

00:32:05.720 --> 00:32:06.179
 away from

00:32:06.179 --> 00:32:06.659
 this passage

00:32:06.659 --> 00:32:07.720
 is this

00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:09.059
 king continues

00:32:09.059 --> 00:32:09.720
 to conquer

00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:10.959
 through weakness.

00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:11.079
 things.

00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:13.960
 I keep

00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:14.340
 trying to

00:32:14.340 --> 00:32:14.940
 manage my

00:32:14.940 --> 00:32:15.279
 life.

00:32:15.420 --> 00:32:15.680
 I keep

00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:16.019
 trying to

00:32:16.019 --> 00:32:16.299
 be in

00:32:16.299 --> 00:32:17.259
 control and

00:32:17.259 --> 00:32:18.920
 make better

00:32:18.920 --> 00:32:19.779
 plans and

00:32:19.779 --> 00:32:21.180
 get ahead and

00:32:21.180 --> 00:32:22.680
 boast in my

00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:23.360
 abilities and

00:32:23.360 --> 00:32:24.620
 my accomplishments.

00:32:24.860 --> 00:32:25.900
 I keep going

00:32:25.900 --> 00:32:26.420
 back to that

00:32:26.420 --> 00:32:26.759
 way of

00:32:26.759 --> 00:32:27.000
 thinking.

00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:31.380
 I think

00:32:31.380 --> 00:32:31.700
 there's an

00:32:31.700 --> 00:32:32.620
 imitation of

00:32:32.620 --> 00:32:33.039
 the Christian

00:32:33.039 --> 00:32:33.640
 life that

00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:34.259
 says just

00:32:34.259 --> 00:32:34.859
 just be

00:32:34.859 --> 00:32:35.799
 self-controlled

00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:36.660
 be generous

00:32:36.660 --> 00:32:38.480
 be courageous

00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:39.519
 be kind.

00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:43.000
 This

00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:43.519
 passage

00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:44.279
 that's not

00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:44.960
 far enough.

00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:46.339
 It's not

00:32:46.339 --> 00:32:46.960
 far enough

00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:47.480
 to the

00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:47.900
 kind of

00:32:47.900 --> 00:32:48.379
 life that

00:32:48.379 --> 00:32:48.839
 he's calling

00:32:48.839 --> 00:32:49.200
 us to.

00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:50.599
 We've got to

00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:51.220
 follow this

00:32:51.220 --> 00:32:51.779
 donkey

00:32:51.779 --> 00:32:53.099
 riding king

00:32:53.099 --> 00:32:55.079
 who conquers

00:32:55.079 --> 00:32:55.480
 through

00:32:55.480 --> 00:32:56.339
 humiliation.

00:32:56.339 --> 00:33:02.099
 I believe

00:33:02.099 --> 00:33:02.679
 he's calling

00:33:02.679 --> 00:33:03.099
 us to

00:33:03.099 --> 00:33:03.799
 serve others

00:33:03.799 --> 00:33:04.619
 by sharing

00:33:04.619 --> 00:33:05.079
 in his

00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:05.500
 weakness,

00:33:06.019 --> 00:33:06.419
 in his

00:33:06.419 --> 00:33:07.059
 humiliation.

00:33:07.699 --> 00:33:08.299
 Like Paul

00:33:08.299 --> 00:33:08.740
 says in

00:33:08.740 --> 00:33:09.220
 2 Corinthians

00:33:09.220 --> 00:33:09.639
 4,

00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:10.980
 we have

00:33:10.980 --> 00:33:11.839
 this treasure

00:33:11.839 --> 00:33:13.319
 in jars

00:33:13.319 --> 00:33:14.019
 of clay

00:33:14.019 --> 00:33:16.179
 to show

00:33:16.179 --> 00:33:16.579
 that the

00:33:16.579 --> 00:33:17.379
 surpassing

00:33:17.379 --> 00:33:18.480
 power belongs

00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:19.159
 to God

00:33:19.159 --> 00:33:19.500
 and not

00:33:19.500 --> 00:33:20.039
 to us.

00:33:26.339 --> 00:33:26.779
 So I

00:33:26.779 --> 00:33:27.179
 wonder what

00:33:27.179 --> 00:33:27.720
 you're facing

00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:28.139
 in life

00:33:28.139 --> 00:33:28.359
 at the

00:33:28.359 --> 00:33:28.619
 moment.

00:33:30.059 --> 00:33:30.759
 What would

00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:31.079
 it look

00:33:31.079 --> 00:33:31.859
 like for

00:33:31.859 --> 00:33:32.339
 you not

00:33:32.339 --> 00:33:32.859
 to try

00:33:32.859 --> 00:33:34.659
 and conquer

00:33:34.659 --> 00:33:35.720
 that through

00:33:35.720 --> 00:33:36.919
 managing it,

00:33:38.259 --> 00:33:39.899
 being strong?

00:33:40.679 --> 00:33:41.059
 What would

00:33:41.059 --> 00:33:41.659
 it look like

00:33:41.659 --> 00:33:42.359
 to follow

00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:43.179
 this donkey

00:33:43.179 --> 00:33:43.939
 king and

00:33:43.939 --> 00:33:46.199
 lay down

00:33:46.199 --> 00:33:46.819
 your life

00:33:46.819 --> 00:33:51.179
 to show

00:33:51.179 --> 00:33:51.599
 that your

00:33:51.599 --> 00:33:52.339
 life is

00:33:52.339 --> 00:33:53.139
 resting in

00:33:53.139 --> 00:33:55.159
 him and

00:33:55.159 --> 00:33:55.419
 you want

00:33:55.419 --> 00:33:55.919
 others to

00:33:55.920 --> 00:33:56.279
 find the

00:33:56.279 --> 00:33:57.080
 peace that

00:33:57.080 --> 00:33:57.340
 you've

00:33:57.340 --> 00:33:57.759
 found in

00:33:57.759 --> 00:33:58.000
 him?

00:33:58.220 --> 00:33:58.519
 What would

00:33:58.519 --> 00:33:58.820
 it look

00:33:58.820 --> 00:34:02.759
 like to

00:34:02.759 --> 00:34:03.800
 follow his

00:34:03.800 --> 00:34:04.240
 example?

00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:07.759
 I take

00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:08.720
 great confidence

00:34:08.720 --> 00:34:09.539
 that he loves

00:34:09.539 --> 00:34:10.059
 to use

00:34:10.059 --> 00:34:10.539
 weakness.

00:34:10.780 --> 00:34:11.380
 Our God,

00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:12.500
 our donkey

00:34:12.500 --> 00:34:13.139
 riding king

00:34:13.139 --> 00:34:13.840
 loves to

00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:14.139
 conquer

00:34:14.139 --> 00:34:14.720
 through

00:34:14.720 --> 00:34:15.240
 weakness.

00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:16.280
 That is

00:34:16.280 --> 00:34:16.740
 really good

00:34:16.740 --> 00:34:17.340
 news because

00:34:17.340 --> 00:34:18.019
 he can use

00:34:18.019 --> 00:34:18.680
 someone like

00:34:18.680 --> 00:34:18.940
 me.

00:34:22.220 --> 00:34:22.780
 Well,

00:34:22.820 --> 00:34:23.340
 let's crown

00:34:23.340 --> 00:34:23.900
 him in our

00:34:23.900 --> 00:34:24.760
 hearts and

00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:25.320
 let's follow

00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:25.619
 him.

00:34:25.619 --> 00:34:26.380
 not in

00:34:26.380 --> 00:34:27.159
 strength but

00:34:27.159 --> 00:34:28.900
 in

00:34:28.900 --> 00:34:29.559
 humiliation.

00:34:31.519 --> 00:34:32.139
 Will you

00:34:32.139 --> 00:34:32.599
 pray with me?

00:34:32.779 --> 00:34:33.139
 Let's pray.

00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:35.659
 Oh,

00:34:35.699 --> 00:34:35.880
 Lord,

00:34:35.980 --> 00:34:36.440
 thank you

00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:38.759
 that you

00:34:38.759 --> 00:34:39.299
 don't win

00:34:39.299 --> 00:34:39.920
 our hearts

00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:41.039
 through threat

00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:42.960
 and fear

00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:45.380
 but you

00:34:45.380 --> 00:34:46.400
 win us

00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:47.179
 over by

00:34:47.179 --> 00:34:49.139
 serving us.

00:34:49.139 --> 00:34:51.659
 Lord, you

00:34:51.659 --> 00:34:52.239
 are so

00:34:52.239 --> 00:34:54.299
 humble that

00:34:54.299 --> 00:34:54.599
 you would

00:34:54.599 --> 00:34:54.960
 lower

00:34:54.960 --> 00:34:55.799
 yourself

00:34:55.799 --> 00:34:58.000
 to the

00:34:58.000 --> 00:34:58.819
 very last.

00:34:59.819 --> 00:35:00.359
 Forgive us

00:35:00.359 --> 00:35:00.799
 for

00:35:00.799 --> 00:35:03.679
 trying to

00:35:03.679 --> 00:35:04.960
 make

00:35:04.960 --> 00:35:05.359
 ourselves

00:35:05.359 --> 00:35:06.659
 great as

00:35:06.659 --> 00:35:07.139
 the world

00:35:07.139 --> 00:35:07.480
 counts

00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:07.879
 greatness.

00:35:08.879 --> 00:35:09.920
 Forgive us

00:35:09.920 --> 00:35:10.299
 for that

00:35:10.300 --> 00:35:12.560
 and help

00:35:12.560 --> 00:35:13.360
 us worship

00:35:13.360 --> 00:35:14.140
 you like

00:35:14.140 --> 00:35:14.700
 those little

00:35:14.700 --> 00:35:15.240
 children

00:35:15.240 --> 00:35:16.680
 unashamed

00:35:16.680 --> 00:35:17.019
 in the

00:35:17.019 --> 00:35:17.380
 temple

00:35:17.380 --> 00:35:18.000
 just

00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:19.060
 praising

00:35:19.060 --> 00:35:19.480
 you

00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:20.480
 because of

00:35:20.480 --> 00:35:21.140
 the peace

00:35:21.140 --> 00:35:21.840
 you bring.

00:35:23.240 --> 00:35:23.519
 Lord,

00:35:23.880 --> 00:35:24.840
 please use us

00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:25.500
 as a church

00:35:25.500 --> 00:35:26.360
 not through

00:35:26.360 --> 00:35:27.140
 us being

00:35:27.140 --> 00:35:27.920
 clever

00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:28.700
 or

00:35:28.700 --> 00:35:31.120
 strong

00:35:31.120 --> 00:35:31.820
 or

00:35:31.820 --> 00:35:33.200
 successful.

00:35:33.680 --> 00:35:34.500
 Use us

00:35:34.500 --> 00:35:34.960
 through our

00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:35.360
 weakness.

00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:37.079
 Lord, it's

00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:37.620
 a dangerous

00:35:37.620 --> 00:35:38.640
 prayer because

00:35:38.640 --> 00:35:39.400
 I just want

00:35:39.400 --> 00:35:39.860
 a comfortable

00:35:39.860 --> 00:35:41.120
 life but

00:35:41.120 --> 00:35:42.900
 use our

00:35:42.900 --> 00:35:44.099
 pain

00:35:44.099 --> 00:35:45.019
 and

00:35:45.019 --> 00:35:46.420
 our loss

00:35:46.420 --> 00:35:49.400
 to shine

00:35:49.400 --> 00:35:50.480
 the peace

00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:50.940
 that you've

00:35:50.940 --> 00:35:52.099
 given us

00:35:52.099 --> 00:35:52.579
 in Jesus.

00:35:52.780 --> 00:35:53.380
 Please use

00:35:53.380 --> 00:35:53.760
 us as a

00:35:53.760 --> 00:35:54.120
 church

00:35:54.120 --> 00:35:56.099
 to declare

00:35:56.099 --> 00:35:57.240
 the peace

00:35:57.240 --> 00:35:57.599
 that you've

00:35:57.599 --> 00:35:57.880
 brought.

00:35:58.280 --> 00:35:58.700
 I pray this

00:35:58.700 --> 00:35:59.039
 in Jesus'

00:35:59.220 --> 00:35:59.380
 name.

00:35:59.599 --> 00:35:59.860
 Amen.
