00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:19.440
 Thank you.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:59.980
 Thank you.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:29.980
 Thank you.

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.000
 Thank you.

00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:42.019
 This morning to pray for me because I'm reminded of what it says in 2 Corinthians where Paul, he says,

00:01:42.019 --> 00:01:45.819
 we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the glory may be of God and not of us.

00:01:45.819 --> 00:01:57.539
 And then later, Paul says a very interesting thing in relationship. He says, we are the aroma of life and death.

00:01:57.540 --> 00:02:06.780
 To those who are believing, we are the aroma of life. And to those who are dying, we are the aroma of death.

00:02:06.780 --> 00:02:12.060
 And then he says something. He says, and who is sufficient for these things?

00:02:12.060 --> 00:02:19.699
 I want you to turn your Bibles to Ephesians chapter 3.

00:02:19.699 --> 00:02:36.419
 And we are in the process of looking at the prayer that Paul prays from Ephesians chapter 3 verse 14 through 21.

00:02:36.419 --> 00:02:49.339
 I think it is perhaps if I were to choose one sermon that I could preach, I would have to decide in advance who was I preaching to.

00:02:49.340 --> 00:02:55.819
 If I were preaching to unbelievers, I would tell you that I would probably preach John 3.16.

00:02:57.340 --> 00:03:01.819
 If I only had one opportunity, it would be to preach John 3.16.

00:03:01.819 --> 00:03:14.199
 If I had one sermon to do for those who were believers, I would want to go to Ephesians chapter 3 verse 14 through 21.

00:03:14.459 --> 00:03:21.979
 I cannot think of a richer, more precious, more valuable, more significant passage of Scripture.

00:03:21.979 --> 00:03:29.459
 Now, given that pastors speak in hyperbole, bear with me, because all Scripture, what does it say?

00:03:30.219 --> 00:03:35.259
 Is profitable that the man of God may be completely furnished unto all good works.

00:03:35.339 --> 00:03:41.979
 And so, it's a hard thing to be able to say, and I confess it, that this is the one significant passage.

00:03:42.060 --> 00:03:47.019
 I don't mean to say that, but it is so rich to us.

00:03:47.020 --> 00:03:55.160
 Earlier this week, I was reading a book called To Tell the Truth by Will Metzger.

00:03:56.980 --> 00:03:58.400
 And it's a good book.

00:03:59.160 --> 00:04:01.100
 I wouldn't call it easy reading.

00:04:02.540 --> 00:04:09.879
 But Will was talking about the fact that he had been invited to go to a group, a college group,

00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:12.260
 and a large gathering of young people.

00:04:12.259 --> 00:04:19.819
 And at the very beginning of his series, and he was actually preaching at a retreat for a number of sessions.

00:04:20.379 --> 00:04:22.779
 And so, to start things off, he asked the question,

00:04:22.899 --> 00:04:28.639
 So, how many of you here this morning have confidence in your eternal destiny?

00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:32.519
 Now, we use that kind of question in evangelism, don't we?

00:04:33.379 --> 00:04:35.560
 If you were to die tonight, and God were to say,

00:04:35.659 --> 00:04:36.819
 Why should I let you into heaven?

00:04:36.899 --> 00:04:37.800
 What would you say?

00:04:38.159 --> 00:04:39.699
 We use something on the same flavor.

00:04:39.699 --> 00:04:46.639
 And he was amazed when, after he asked that question about how many of you have confidence in your eternal destiny,

00:04:47.039 --> 00:04:49.560
 all of those young people, it was a Christian gathering,

00:04:49.899 --> 00:04:52.039
 all of those young people raised their hands and said,

00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:52.800
 I've got confidence.

00:04:55.159 --> 00:04:57.019
 Well, then he asked a subsequent question.

00:04:58.300 --> 00:04:58.959
 He said,

00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:23.240
 And so, do you know what he did?

00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:39.400
 Beloved,

00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:43.799
 conversion that is genuine,

00:05:45.939 --> 00:05:50.419
 produces in us a growing affection for Christ,

00:05:51.679 --> 00:05:55.219
 and a desire to grow in godliness.

00:05:55.220 --> 00:06:00.320
 And where those two elements are deficient,

00:06:00.940 --> 00:06:07.220
 there is either a good cause for questioning an individual's birth certificate,

00:06:07.640 --> 00:06:14.260
 or there is good cause to question where in the process of spiritual growth is that believer.

00:06:14.259 --> 00:06:21.159
 I speak to you this morning as people who know Christ.

00:06:21.300 --> 00:06:22.459
 I make that assumption,

00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:28.019
 though I would believe there are some that are among us today that may have grown up in a Christian home.

00:06:28.699 --> 00:06:29.740
 You know all the vocabulary.

00:06:30.019 --> 00:06:30.839
 You got through Awana.

00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:31.680
 You know the verses.

00:06:31.860 --> 00:06:33.180
 You probably got a Timothy award.

00:06:33.180 --> 00:06:34.759
 But the truth of the matter is,

00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:38.920
 is that there is no affection for the Lord Jesus Christ,

00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:42.980
 or even a sense of the importance of growing in that.

00:06:44.699 --> 00:06:47.180
 And there's a large indifference to the matter of obedience.

00:06:49.660 --> 00:06:51.060
 You may not be saved.

00:06:52.740 --> 00:06:56.660
 Or this morning's message has direct application to your heart,

00:06:56.899 --> 00:06:59.280
 and it would be my plea and my prayer

00:06:59.280 --> 00:07:02.360
 that the Word of God would affect you,

00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:06.879
 and lead to change that is worthy.

00:07:08.100 --> 00:07:12.379
 Let me read the passage that we're going to be looking at there in verse 18 and 19.

00:07:13.259 --> 00:07:14.319
 Here is Paul.

00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:16.280
 Remember he says in verse 14,

00:07:16.400 --> 00:07:18.900
 For this cause I bow my knees.

00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:20.259
 He says, I'm going to pray.

00:07:20.400 --> 00:07:21.319
 This is what I'm going to pray for.

00:07:22.379 --> 00:07:23.520
 Works his way through.

00:07:23.980 --> 00:07:25.540
 And then in verse 18 and 19,

00:07:25.540 --> 00:07:28.879
 we actually come to the substance of what he is praying for.

00:07:28.900 --> 00:07:29.500
 And he says this.

00:07:29.500 --> 00:07:33.980
 He says that you may have strength to comprehend with all the saints

00:07:33.980 --> 00:07:37.019
 what is the breadth and length and height and depth,

00:07:37.180 --> 00:07:41.399
 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge.

00:07:42.699 --> 00:07:47.420
 So let me begin by recognizing here that what we find in Paul's text is,

00:07:47.540 --> 00:07:50.800
 first of all, that it's important to have a purpose for prayer.

00:07:51.540 --> 00:07:53.939
 And when people pray, we do for a reason.

00:07:53.939 --> 00:07:56.040
 Listen, there's something we need.

00:07:57.199 --> 00:07:59.240
 There's something that is on our heart.

00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:02.360
 Often when I am in ministry,

00:08:02.459 --> 00:08:05.439
 one of the things that I remind myself of what it says in James chapter 1,

00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:05.719
 it says,

00:08:06.139 --> 00:08:07.360
 If any man lack what?

00:08:08.300 --> 00:08:11.159
 Wisdom, let him ask of God.

00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:12.620
 And later on in James, it says,

00:08:12.699 --> 00:08:14.180
 You have not because you asked not.

00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:17.300
 And so we recognize that when we pray,

00:08:17.620 --> 00:08:21.300
 our prayers reflect what we believe is supremely important

00:08:21.300 --> 00:08:22.579
 or important to us at the moment.

00:08:22.579 --> 00:08:25.060
 And so there are times when in our prayer life,

00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:30.180
 we are just crying out and asking God for things that are a burden to our soul.

00:08:31.479 --> 00:08:34.679
 Other times we're just expressive and thankful.

00:08:35.100 --> 00:08:39.360
 And let me tell you that I think there is Bible illustration in the fact

00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:43.699
 that the starting place for most of our prayers in our relationship should be with,

00:08:44.179 --> 00:08:48.279
 Lord, I cannot tell you how thankful I am that you are my God and Savior

00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:52.019
 and that I, by your grace, have come into relationship with you.

00:08:52.019 --> 00:08:54.000
 And I am abundantly blessed.

00:08:55.319 --> 00:08:57.059
 I have more than I deserve.

00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:01.559
 And so as we look here at Paul's prayer,

00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:06.659
 we find that here is the apostle asking for what he believes

00:09:06.659 --> 00:09:12.120
 is absolutely most essential in the lives of those that he dearly loves.

00:09:13.059 --> 00:09:14.899
 His goal, in this case,

00:09:14.899 --> 00:09:18.740
 is for the believer to grasp the love of Christ

00:09:18.740 --> 00:09:21.720
 and to be filled with all the fullness of God.

00:09:22.500 --> 00:09:25.759
 And I made the statement last week that over and over again in pastoral ministry,

00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:30.539
 I found myself in various times comforting those who have been afflicted

00:09:30.539 --> 00:09:34.120
 or encouraging those who have been oppressed by the heartaches of life,

00:09:34.500 --> 00:09:36.679
 dealing with discouragement and despair,

00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:43.559
 brokenness, and at the heart of what I have often found myself desperately wishing I could do,

00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:47.099
 is I could put a pill in front of them and say,

00:09:47.699 --> 00:09:49.919
 take this, it will solve your problem.

00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:53.739
 We are a culture that depends very heavily on pills.

00:09:53.740 --> 00:09:58.480
 And so I would love to have a capsule that said,

00:09:59.060 --> 00:10:02.440
 love of Christ, take two, see me in the morning.

00:10:02.620 --> 00:10:03.779
 You know, it would work.

00:10:05.539 --> 00:10:07.159
 And Paul is praying and he says,

00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:12.259
 listen, I want these people that I love to grasp the love of Christ

00:10:12.259 --> 00:10:14.580
 and be filled with all the fullness of God.

00:10:14.580 --> 00:10:21.080
 I want us to recognize that here he is praying to grasp a profound thing.

00:10:22.660 --> 00:10:24.639
 As we unfold our text this morning,

00:10:25.160 --> 00:10:28.460
 we're going to see that Paul's prayer comes down to a request

00:10:28.460 --> 00:10:31.420
 that each believer would be able to comprehend

00:10:31.420 --> 00:10:34.240
 the richness of the love of Christ.

00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:37.480
 And so there are several things that draw our attention as we think about this.

00:10:37.500 --> 00:10:41.280
 And I want you to kind of put your mind into gear and follow along with me here.

00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:44.180
 For one thing, comprehending the love of Christ,

00:10:44.179 --> 00:10:46.239
 and that's what Paul is interested in,

00:10:46.859 --> 00:10:51.439
 involves more than just reciting a few verses from a children's song.

00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:55.000
 Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible told me so, right?

00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:56.339
 And we've got that one down.

00:10:56.459 --> 00:10:59.679
 Or Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world.

00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:00.159
 What are they?

00:11:00.339 --> 00:11:02.719
 Red and yellow, black and white, they are...

00:11:02.719 --> 00:11:08.479
 Comprehending the love of Christ is more than understanding the words of a song

00:11:08.479 --> 00:11:09.519
 or reciting them.

00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:15.159
 The word that Paul uses here when he talks about comprehending

00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:19.779
 is a word that means to have a grip on something and understand it.

00:11:20.899 --> 00:11:24.019
 At the heart of our faith, and I want you to recognize this,

00:11:24.379 --> 00:11:26.939
 is the truth that God has revealed Himself to us,

00:11:27.079 --> 00:11:30.799
 and He wants us to understand who He is and what He's told us.

00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:35.219
 I want you to turn back in your Bible just for a moment to a passage in Deuteronomy

00:11:35.219 --> 00:11:37.740
 where that truth becomes undeniably clear.

00:11:37.859 --> 00:11:41.139
 Deuteronomy chapter 30, if you would go there just for a moment.

00:11:41.379 --> 00:11:44.719
 Deuteronomy chapter 30, verse 11 through 14.

00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:49.180
 I'm going to skip from 11 to 14.

00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:52.660
 So let's just go to Deuteronomy chapter 30.

00:11:52.980 --> 00:11:54.200
 And in verse 11 it says,

00:11:54.300 --> 00:11:58.920
 For this commandment that I command you today is not too hard for you,

00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:00.899
 neither is it far off.

00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:07.320
 We are going to preach this summer in the evening services

00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:11.879
 during the time that we do not have small group.

00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:14.279
 Pastor Saul and I are going to play tag team.

00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:17.059
 That's not like WWF or whatever else,

00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:18.919
 but we're going to tag team,

00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:21.860
 and we're going to preach on some theological truths.

00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:26.779
 One of them has to do with the clarity that God has

00:12:26.779 --> 00:12:28.759
 in communicating His Word to us.

00:12:29.659 --> 00:12:32.279
 We're going to talk about the Scriptures and God's intention

00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:33.419
 that it's understandable.

00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:36.759
 And so as you look at this passage,

00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:41.340
 here is Moses speaking to his children at the end of his life,

00:12:41.340 --> 00:12:41.660
 and he says,

00:12:41.740 --> 00:12:44.320
 Listen, let me tell you something about this book that you have.

00:12:45.980 --> 00:12:47.399
 It's not too hard.

00:12:48.899 --> 00:12:51.220
 It's not so complicated that you can't get it.

00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:52.800
 And then look at verse 14.

00:12:53.220 --> 00:12:54.740
 But the Word is very near you.

00:12:54.860 --> 00:12:57.700
 It is in your mouth and in your heart so that you can do it.

00:13:00.040 --> 00:13:03.780
 I want you to recognize that God's intention is for us to understand His Word.

00:13:04.800 --> 00:13:08.560
 His desire and His delight is that we comprehend His Word

00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:10.479
 and that it makes a difference in our life.

00:13:10.719 --> 00:13:15.059
 Having said that, I want you to recognize that it does take work.

00:13:16.299 --> 00:13:17.399
 It does take work.

00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:21.079
 And I think about a passage over in Job,

00:13:21.139 --> 00:13:22.939
 and I want you to go there as well if you would.

00:13:23.059 --> 00:13:24.819
 Job chapter 42 verse 5.

00:13:25.539 --> 00:13:29.119
 Job is a very interesting book that deals with the matter of human suffering.

00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:32.560
 And most of us, when we're going through suffering,

00:13:32.659 --> 00:13:34.639
 and I can tell you that every one of us will,

00:13:35.060 --> 00:13:37.419
 things are not going to go the way you want.

00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:41.560
 And you're going to find yourself asking the question on occasion,

00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:42.899
 Why me, Lord?

00:13:42.980 --> 00:13:44.159
 What have I ever done?

00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:44.379
 Right?

00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:45.860
 I mean, it's a great song.

00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:48.159
 But, you know, we're going to ask ourselves,

00:13:48.299 --> 00:13:49.279
 So what did I do?

00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:53.740
 I've been reading through the book of John repeatedly,

00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:59.120
 and I found myself again at that passage where,

00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:00.639
 Remember the man who was born blind,

00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:01.839
 and the disciples say to him,

00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:02.480
 All right, all right.

00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:04.000
 So who sinned?

00:14:04.980 --> 00:14:05.860
 Did he sin?

00:14:06.500 --> 00:14:08.559
 Or did his parents sin so this happened to him?

00:14:09.539 --> 00:14:11.860
 You see, we often think that things happen to us

00:14:11.860 --> 00:14:13.019
 just because of things we've done

00:14:13.019 --> 00:14:14.819
 or things that other people have done, etc.

00:14:14.899 --> 00:14:17.860
 And here is Job going through all this suffering.

00:14:17.860 --> 00:14:19.139
 Things aren't going well,

00:14:19.620 --> 00:14:23.639
 and he finds himself not only dealing with his suffering,

00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:26.639
 but he has good friends who show up,

00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:28.740
 and what do his good friends tell him?

00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:31.279
 You had it coming to you.

00:14:32.220 --> 00:14:33.820
 Now, that's a real good friend, isn't it?

00:14:34.680 --> 00:14:36.560
 You know, if you'd been a little better guy,

00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:38.480
 and the day list and bad things don't happen

00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:39.620
 unless you're a bad dude,

00:14:39.700 --> 00:14:42.000
 and so suffer, bud, and learn from it.

00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:43.279
 And at the end of the day,

00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:45.300
 God shows up on the scene.

00:14:45.299 --> 00:14:49.000
 Does God explain to Job why he's suffering?

00:14:49.079 --> 00:14:49.659
 What's the answer?

00:14:50.599 --> 00:14:50.939
 Nope.

00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:52.879
 Let me say that again slowly.

00:14:53.479 --> 00:14:53.799
 Nope.

00:14:55.899 --> 00:14:59.939
 And we come to Job chapter 42, verse 5.

00:15:01.859 --> 00:15:04.639
 I have heard of you by the hearing of the ear,

00:15:04.899 --> 00:15:07.179
 but now mine eye sees you.

00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:11.199
 Remember, the point that I wanted to make

00:15:11.199 --> 00:15:14.399
 is that God's Word is there for us to understand,

00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:16.579
 but I've got to tell you that it does take some work.

00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:20.120
 And the idea that it's just like,

00:15:20.220 --> 00:15:24.699
 we can all lie around and spend our days in carelessness

00:15:24.699 --> 00:15:26.039
 and want and pleasure

00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:27.579
 and think that we're going to understand the Word.

00:15:27.620 --> 00:15:28.579
 It doesn't work that way.

00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:31.779
 And so here we find Job going through the process of suffering,

00:15:31.959 --> 00:15:33.779
 and then he's crying out to God,

00:15:33.860 --> 00:15:34.419
 what am I doing?

00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:35.459
 What do I need to learn?

00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:37.980
 And God says, hey, let me tell you who I am.

00:15:37.980 --> 00:15:42.779
 And all that he does, really, is reveal his creative power.

00:15:42.860 --> 00:15:43.500
 That's what he does.

00:15:44.180 --> 00:15:46.440
 By the way, were you there when I did thus and so,

00:15:46.500 --> 00:15:47.840
 or thus and so, and thus and so?

00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:50.440
 And Job finally comes to the point of saying,

00:15:50.500 --> 00:15:51.360
 you know what, I get it.

00:15:51.659 --> 00:15:52.279
 You're awesome.

00:15:52.580 --> 00:15:53.220
 You're wonderful.

00:15:54.420 --> 00:15:57.820
 Now, in more specific terms to our lesson today,

00:15:57.820 --> 00:16:01.940
 God wants us to grasp the scope of his love

00:16:01.940 --> 00:16:04.060
 and its incredible value.

00:16:05.160 --> 00:16:10.080
 At the heart of what we find the Apostle Paul praying,

00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:14.140
 and by the way, when the Apostle Paul penned these words,

00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:19.040
 because we understand from our grasp of the doctrine of Scripture,

00:16:19.520 --> 00:16:24.200
 these words were not something that Paul thought up on his own.

00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:25.620
 Why do we have these Scriptures?

00:16:25.620 --> 00:16:30.259
 All Scripture is given to us by inspiration.

00:16:31.460 --> 00:16:34.740
 The Spirit of God instructed Paul to write these words,

00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:39.519
 and they give to us some indication of what God has in mind.

00:16:39.940 --> 00:16:41.200
 And here is Paul praying,

00:16:41.620 --> 00:16:46.580
 I want you believers to understand the scope of the love of God

00:16:46.580 --> 00:16:48.259
 and its incredible value.

00:16:49.340 --> 00:16:53.279
 And so as we look at these four words that we find here in the passage,

00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:58.679
 I want to make an appeal to you that they were not designed for speed reading,

00:16:59.179 --> 00:17:02.879
 nor were they designed for speed thinking.

00:17:05.980 --> 00:17:07.720
 There in verse 18 it says,

00:17:08.220 --> 00:17:11.220
 that you would comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length

00:17:11.220 --> 00:17:12.619
 and height and depth,

00:17:13.619 --> 00:17:15.240
 and to know the love of Christ.

00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:18.779
 Each word is important.

00:17:20.140 --> 00:17:24.359
 And the Spirit of God intends for each of these words to be meditated upon

00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:26.420
 and given careful consideration

00:17:26.420 --> 00:17:30.420
 and allow the depth and the beauty of what is expressed in these words

00:17:30.420 --> 00:17:34.660
 to then encourage us in understanding the scope and breadth,

00:17:35.059 --> 00:17:36.420
 the depth, the beauty,

00:17:36.420 --> 00:17:40.039
 of the all-surpassing love of Christ for us.

00:17:42.080 --> 00:17:44.940
 Let's think about the four things that he says.

00:17:45.820 --> 00:17:50.039
 He says, I want you to understand the breadth of the love of Christ.

00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:51.920
 What is the breadth of His love?

00:17:52.800 --> 00:17:54.920
 Turn over in your Bible, if you would, just for a moment,

00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:57.820
 over to a passage in Revelation chapter 5, verse 9,

00:17:58.100 --> 00:18:01.060
 and I want you to stop and think what eternity is going to be like,

00:18:01.059 --> 00:18:06.000
 and one of the settings or scenes that you and I are going to enjoy.

00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:10.159
 Revelation chapter 5, verse 9.

00:18:15.399 --> 00:18:17.119
 And they sang a new song.

00:18:18.700 --> 00:18:21.960
 By the way, sidebar, my hearing is going,

00:18:22.139 --> 00:18:25.000
 so one of the things that if you see me doing it occasionally,

00:18:25.179 --> 00:18:26.419
 don't think I've gone off,

00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:29.759
 just understand that probably at the point I need hearing aids,

00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:30.599
 they're all shot out,

00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:33.879
 but I like to, embarrassing thing to do,

00:18:33.939 --> 00:18:36.839
 but I like to cup my ears, my ears with my hands.

00:18:36.939 --> 00:18:37.799
 Do you know what that does?

00:18:38.939 --> 00:18:42.279
 That kind of amplifies the beauty of hearing people sing,

00:18:42.579 --> 00:18:46.839
 and there's something about listening to the people of Christ

00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:48.259
 sing the glory of Christ.

00:18:48.339 --> 00:18:49.619
 It is just beautiful.

00:18:52.699 --> 00:18:54.899
 And here is John.

00:18:55.939 --> 00:18:56.599
 He says,

00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:57.899
 And they sang a new song,

00:18:58.019 --> 00:18:58.259
 saying,

00:18:58.259 --> 00:19:22.339
 Do you understand how broad His love is?

00:19:22.339 --> 00:19:26.459
 The other day I was filling out a form,

00:19:26.779 --> 00:19:27.399
 actually,

00:19:27.819 --> 00:19:29.480
 at the Social Security Administration,

00:19:29.619 --> 00:19:30.399
 or whatever it was,

00:19:30.459 --> 00:19:32.919
 and I had to identify my ethnicity.

00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:35.959
 And now they have one little box,

00:19:36.259 --> 00:19:36.720
 refused.

00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:38.399
 Well, I thought,

00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:39.299
 Oh, don't be that way,

00:19:39.339 --> 00:19:40.259
 so I checked off white.

00:19:40.619 --> 00:19:40.799
 You know?

00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:42.259
 And I think,

00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:43.879
 You know,

00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:46.399
 every tribe and nation,

00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:47.559
 do you realize that?

00:19:48.180 --> 00:19:50.000
 One of the things that I take pleasure in

00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:51.500
 when I pray for our different missionaries,

00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:53.619
 I was praying for Mark Furman this morning

00:19:53.619 --> 00:19:55.379
 and his ministry in China and India.

00:19:55.859 --> 00:19:56.619
 I like,

00:19:56.819 --> 00:19:58.039
 I find pleasure,

00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:00.539
 as I grow in understanding the scope of ministry,

00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:03.460
 I find pleasure in praying for people around the world.

00:20:03.639 --> 00:20:04.579
 It reminds me,

00:20:04.579 --> 00:20:06.199
 They're all over the place.

00:20:08.139 --> 00:20:09.139
 They're in China.

00:20:10.179 --> 00:20:11.159
 They're in Japan.

00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:12.759
 They're in Africa.

00:20:13.539 --> 00:20:14.139
 They're in India.

00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:15.679
 They're in America.

00:20:16.639 --> 00:20:17.480
 They're in Ecuador.

00:20:17.939 --> 00:20:19.339
 All over the world,

00:20:19.500 --> 00:20:20.579
 there are people who,

00:20:20.740 --> 00:20:21.759
 by the grace of God,

00:20:21.819 --> 00:20:24.019
 have come to be part of the family of God,

00:20:24.159 --> 00:20:26.599
 and that's the breadth of His love.

00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:31.679
 I want you to think with me now

00:20:31.679 --> 00:20:33.379
 about the length of His love.

00:20:35.219 --> 00:20:38.559
 And in Jeremiah chapter 31, verse 3,

00:20:39.819 --> 00:20:40.939
 it says this,

00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:43.419
 I have loved you with an everlasting love.

00:20:43.500 --> 00:20:46.480
 When did God start loving you?

00:20:48.579 --> 00:20:49.119
 You know,

00:20:49.159 --> 00:20:50.519
 when I look at myself in the mirror,

00:20:50.779 --> 00:20:51.959
 I got to tell you,

00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:52.919
 I'm not like that,

00:20:53.919 --> 00:20:55.959
 I'm not what I ought to be,

00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:57.740
 but I'm not like that wicked witch

00:20:57.740 --> 00:20:58.559
 or whatever woman

00:20:58.559 --> 00:20:59.980
 who has looked at herself in the mirror

00:20:59.980 --> 00:21:00.279
 and said,

00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:01.680
 Mirror, mirror on the wall,

00:21:01.740 --> 00:21:03.079
 who's the fairest of them all, right?

00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:04.299
 I don't do that.

00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:04.640
 But,

00:21:05.180 --> 00:21:06.079
 I look at myself and think,

00:21:06.340 --> 00:21:06.860
 jeez.

00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:08.920
 You know,

00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:10.680
 and here's the truth.

00:21:11.460 --> 00:21:13.299
 I was sitting down here this morning,

00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:14.340
 sitting right there,

00:21:14.819 --> 00:21:16.500
 meditating and praying about the sermon,

00:21:16.660 --> 00:21:18.360
 and I found myself struggling

00:21:18.360 --> 00:21:20.279
 with that age-old battle

00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:21.759
 that takes place in my life.

00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:25.640
 And the remedy

00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:28.000
 was to remind myself

00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:29.519
 of the unfailing,

00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:30.440
 unconditional,

00:21:30.779 --> 00:21:32.879
 never-changing love of Christ.

00:21:34.220 --> 00:21:35.539
 And do you know what the Scripture says?

00:21:36.539 --> 00:21:40.759
 I have loved you with an everlasting love.

00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:47.099
 I can tell when people

00:21:47.099 --> 00:21:48.319
 are not convinced

00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:49.940
 of that significance.

00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:52.799
 Do you know what's a giveaway?

00:21:54.379 --> 00:21:56.400
 When people are not convinced

00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:57.500
 of the everlasting,

00:21:57.940 --> 00:21:58.420
 absolute,

00:21:58.759 --> 00:22:00.039
 certain love of Christ,

00:22:00.579 --> 00:22:02.920
 they're self-consumed,

00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:04.680
 they're unhappy,

00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:06.319
 they're insecure,

00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:10.700
 and they're pretty irritable

00:22:10.700 --> 00:22:11.659
 with other people.

00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:12.779
 Do you know why?

00:22:13.779 --> 00:22:15.279
 Because the false god

00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:16.139
 that they worship

00:22:16.139 --> 00:22:19.179
 invariably is insecure.

00:22:20.659 --> 00:22:22.899
 And here is Paul saying,

00:22:22.980 --> 00:22:23.720
 I want you to understand

00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:24.379
 the length.

00:22:24.679 --> 00:22:26.039
 How far does his love go?

00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:28.639
 It started from everlasting.

00:22:29.779 --> 00:22:30.599
 And over there

00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:32.039
 in Revelation chapter 13,

00:22:32.139 --> 00:22:32.819
 verse 8,

00:22:32.819 --> 00:22:34.599
 and again in 17,

00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:35.700
 verse 8,

00:22:35.799 --> 00:22:37.439
 we find a very similar statement

00:22:37.439 --> 00:22:40.039
 in which John speaks

00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:40.799
 about the fact

00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:42.179
 that our names were written

00:22:42.179 --> 00:22:43.579
 in the book of life

00:22:43.579 --> 00:22:44.419
 before what?

00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:44.919
 Help me here.

00:22:45.980 --> 00:22:47.119
 When was your name

00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:48.220
 written in the book?

00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:50.839
 Was it when you decided

00:22:50.839 --> 00:22:52.000
 to trust in Jesus?

00:22:52.159 --> 00:22:53.359
 Is that when it was written?

00:22:54.099 --> 00:22:54.460
 No.

00:22:54.679 --> 00:22:56.379
 It was written before the what?

00:22:57.200 --> 00:22:58.759
 The foundation of the world.

00:22:58.759 --> 00:23:02.900
 Beloved,

00:23:03.019 --> 00:23:03.980
 I take comfort

00:23:03.980 --> 00:23:04.779
 in knowing that.

00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:07.539
 I like the fact,

00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:09.180
 and this morning

00:23:09.180 --> 00:23:10.240
 as I was listening

00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:11.500
 to the songs

00:23:11.500 --> 00:23:12.559
 that we were singing together,

00:23:12.740 --> 00:23:13.460
 I was just kind of

00:23:13.460 --> 00:23:13.960
 matching up

00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:14.700
 some of the scriptures

00:23:14.700 --> 00:23:16.920
 that bear on those passages.

00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:17.720
 And let me tell you

00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:18.619
 what it does for me.

00:23:18.900 --> 00:23:20.640
 It amplifies my appreciation

00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:21.220
 for the music

00:23:21.220 --> 00:23:21.920
 that we sing.

00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:23.839
 And I was thinking

00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:25.519
 about what it says

00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:27.480
 that he has his hand

00:23:27.480 --> 00:23:28.120
 and on his hand

00:23:28.120 --> 00:23:29.099
 is my name.

00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:31.319
 My name.

00:23:33.860 --> 00:23:34.880
 And someday, beloved,

00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:36.880
 we are going to meet

00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:38.200
 the one who has loved us

00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:39.720
 from eternity past.

00:23:39.779 --> 00:23:40.299
 And that's going to be

00:23:40.299 --> 00:23:41.079
 pretty good, isn't it?

00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:42.940
 That's going to be something

00:23:42.940 --> 00:23:43.860
 that is going to lift up

00:23:43.860 --> 00:23:44.559
 our hearts and,

00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:45.940
 oh man,

00:23:46.079 --> 00:23:48.180
 I can't tell you

00:23:48.180 --> 00:23:49.079
 how sweet that day

00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:49.660
 is going to be.

00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:52.960
 I remember the last time

00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:54.400
 I traveled to India,

00:23:54.799 --> 00:23:55.860
 I was gone for

00:23:55.860 --> 00:23:56.799
 who knows how long

00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:57.440
 it seemed like

00:23:57.440 --> 00:23:58.759
 an incredibly long time.

00:23:59.419 --> 00:24:00.119
 And I remember

00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:00.919
 getting off the,

00:24:01.180 --> 00:24:01.879
 as I was,

00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:02.519
 this is something

00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:03.579
 that happens in my heart.

00:24:03.940 --> 00:24:05.680
 When my body starts

00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:07.000
 turning towards coming home,

00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:07.799
 guess what happens

00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:08.480
 to my thinking?

00:24:09.220 --> 00:24:10.899
 It kind of zeros in

00:24:10.899 --> 00:24:12.099
 down on my honey.

00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:12.960
 Okay?

00:24:13.539 --> 00:24:15.359
 And I was over there

00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:16.180
 in Bangalore

00:24:16.180 --> 00:24:17.480
 and when I walked

00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:18.240
 into the airport,

00:24:18.399 --> 00:24:19.000
 I was thinking,

00:24:19.379 --> 00:24:20.500
 I am going home

00:24:20.500 --> 00:24:21.319
 to see Judith.

00:24:22.919 --> 00:24:24.680
 And the closer I got,

00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:25.299
 guess what?

00:24:25.299 --> 00:24:27.720
 the more focused

00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:29.599
 my thinking was.

00:24:31.619 --> 00:24:32.059
 Beloved,

00:24:32.139 --> 00:24:32.759
 the day is coming

00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:33.460
 when we are going

00:24:33.460 --> 00:24:34.159
 to see Jesus

00:24:34.159 --> 00:24:35.419
 and can I tell you something?

00:24:35.879 --> 00:24:36.759
 If your heart

00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:37.899
 does not long

00:24:37.899 --> 00:24:38.619
 for the day

00:24:38.619 --> 00:24:39.819
 that you will see Him,

00:24:40.059 --> 00:24:41.200
 I would ask you

00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:41.740
 a question,

00:24:41.899 --> 00:24:42.639
 what's happened?

00:24:44.099 --> 00:24:45.539
 Or maybe you don't know Him.

00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:49.240
 I want you to recognize

00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:50.240
 there's another statement

00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:51.720
 that Paul makes there.

00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:52.779
 He talks about the height.

00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:55.660
 There in the passage,

00:24:56.180 --> 00:24:57.740
 He says that you would

00:24:57.740 --> 00:24:58.759
 understand the breadth

00:24:58.759 --> 00:24:59.339
 and the length

00:24:59.339 --> 00:25:00.360
 and then He says height.

00:25:02.019 --> 00:25:03.839
 And I stop and recognize

00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:04.980
 that that is a reference

00:25:04.980 --> 00:25:07.019
 to the exaltation,

00:25:07.140 --> 00:25:08.519
 the height to which

00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:10.039
 He has lifted us.

00:25:10.039 --> 00:25:14.460
 I'm awestruck

00:25:14.460 --> 00:25:15.059
 when I stop

00:25:15.059 --> 00:25:15.599
 and consider

00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:16.259
 that His love

00:25:16.259 --> 00:25:16.879
 has rescued

00:25:16.879 --> 00:25:18.000
 wounded,

00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:19.440
 rebellious,

00:25:20.399 --> 00:25:21.159
 bitter enemies

00:25:21.159 --> 00:25:21.899
 of the cross

00:25:21.899 --> 00:25:22.659
 and He has made

00:25:22.659 --> 00:25:23.839
 those same people

00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:24.420
 His own.

00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:26.839
 And you know what?

00:25:26.879 --> 00:25:27.339
 His love

00:25:27.339 --> 00:25:28.019
 will bring us home

00:25:28.019 --> 00:25:28.559
 to glory

00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:30.700
 and to perfect union

00:25:30.700 --> 00:25:31.279
 with Him.

00:25:32.139 --> 00:25:33.240
 I think about a passage

00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:34.200
 and there are many

00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:34.859
 that would bear

00:25:34.859 --> 00:25:35.559
 on this subject,

00:25:35.779 --> 00:25:36.700
 but turn over

00:25:36.700 --> 00:25:37.279
 in your Bible

00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:38.960
 to John chapter 17

00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:40.700
 verse 24 and 26.

00:25:41.259 --> 00:25:42.000
 This is Jesus

00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:44.000
 in His high priestly prayer

00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:44.700
 as He prays

00:25:44.700 --> 00:25:45.299
 for believers

00:25:45.299 --> 00:25:46.740
 and here's what He says

00:25:46.740 --> 00:25:47.680
 in verse 24.

00:25:47.880 --> 00:25:48.100
 He says,

00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:48.380
 Listen,

00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:48.960
 Father,

00:25:49.100 --> 00:25:50.279
 I desire that they also

00:25:50.279 --> 00:25:51.360
 whom You have given Me

00:25:51.360 --> 00:25:52.660
 may be with Me

00:25:52.660 --> 00:25:53.539
 where I am.

00:25:55.519 --> 00:25:55.960
 Yeah,

00:25:56.019 --> 00:25:56.640
 I love Jesus,

00:25:56.759 --> 00:25:57.640
 but I don't really care

00:25:57.640 --> 00:25:58.500
 to be around Him.

00:25:58.640 --> 00:25:58.759
 Huh?

00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:01.360
 No.

00:26:03.420 --> 00:26:04.059
 Jesus says,

00:26:04.140 --> 00:26:04.620
 I love them,

00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:05.240
 I love them,

00:26:05.240 --> 00:26:06.059
 I love them,

00:26:06.339 --> 00:26:06.980
 I want them

00:26:06.980 --> 00:26:08.059
 to be where I am.

00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:10.039
 To see My glory

00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:11.019
 that You have given Me

00:26:11.019 --> 00:26:11.460
 because,

00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:12.240
 listen to this,

00:26:12.579 --> 00:26:14.140
 because You loved Me

00:26:14.140 --> 00:26:15.500
 before the foundation

00:26:15.500 --> 00:26:16.299
 of the world.

00:26:16.680 --> 00:26:18.140
 Do you see the connectedness

00:26:18.140 --> 00:26:19.559
 between this whole issue?

00:26:21.859 --> 00:26:22.859
 Jesus wants us

00:26:22.859 --> 00:26:23.680
 to have communion

00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:24.519
 and intimacy,

00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:25.900
 but the heart of it,

00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:26.160
 He says,

00:26:26.380 --> 00:26:27.700
 it's because You've loved Me.

00:26:29.019 --> 00:26:30.460
 Then look at verse 26.

00:26:31.240 --> 00:26:32.680
 I made known to them

00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:33.339
 Your name

00:26:33.339 --> 00:26:34.519
 and I will continue

00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:35.460
 to make it known.

00:26:35.460 --> 00:26:36.759
 Now follow the remainder

00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:37.460
 of the verse

00:26:37.460 --> 00:26:39.299
 because it is poignant

00:26:39.299 --> 00:26:42.440
 that the love

00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:44.440
 with which You have loved Me

00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:46.440
 may be in them

00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:49.579
 and I in them.

00:26:49.579 --> 00:26:57.119
 Jesus is praying

00:26:57.119 --> 00:26:58.259
 before the cross

00:26:58.259 --> 00:26:58.659
 and He says,

00:26:58.759 --> 00:26:59.019
 listen,

00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:00.779
 here's what I'm asking

00:27:00.779 --> 00:27:01.759
 that You would do

00:27:01.759 --> 00:27:03.359
 for these

00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:04.480
 dear,

00:27:04.980 --> 00:27:05.299
 dear

00:27:05.299 --> 00:27:06.519
 disciples

00:27:06.519 --> 00:27:08.259
 and those

00:27:08.259 --> 00:27:09.159
 who follow

00:27:09.159 --> 00:27:10.279
 in belief

00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:11.939
 in the centuries

00:27:11.939 --> 00:27:12.419
 to come.

00:27:12.420 --> 00:27:16.039
 that the love

00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:16.980
 with which You

00:27:16.980 --> 00:27:18.480
 have loved Me

00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:19.759
 may be

00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:21.080
 in them.

00:27:24.779 --> 00:27:25.940
 Oh, Jesus,

00:27:26.360 --> 00:27:28.620
 I would like

00:27:28.620 --> 00:27:29.620
 to win the lottery.

00:27:30.660 --> 00:27:30.920
 Pfft!

00:27:32.860 --> 00:27:33.759
 Oh, Jesus,

00:27:34.300 --> 00:27:35.420
 I would like

00:27:35.420 --> 00:27:36.200
 better health.

00:27:37.360 --> 00:27:38.519
 Oh, Jesus,

00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:40.700
 I need different

00:27:40.700 --> 00:27:41.319
 neighbors.

00:27:43.319 --> 00:27:44.259
 Oh, Jesus,

00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:45.240
 no,

00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:47.559
 that the love

00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:48.099
 with which You

00:27:48.099 --> 00:27:49.019
 have loved Me

00:27:49.019 --> 00:27:50.500
 may be in them.

00:27:52.059 --> 00:27:52.740
 Let's go to

00:27:52.740 --> 00:27:53.539
 one other piece

00:27:53.539 --> 00:27:56.980
 and I have

00:27:56.980 --> 00:27:57.379
 to tell you

00:27:57.379 --> 00:27:58.559
 that I've asked

00:27:58.559 --> 00:27:59.099
 myself over

00:27:59.099 --> 00:27:59.539
 and over again

00:27:59.539 --> 00:27:59.899
 this week,

00:28:00.019 --> 00:28:00.960
 why was this

00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:01.599
 last?

00:28:03.779 --> 00:28:04.659
 The depth.

00:28:07.579 --> 00:28:08.539
 I think the

00:28:08.539 --> 00:28:09.379
 matter of height

00:28:09.379 --> 00:28:10.159
 and depth

00:28:10.159 --> 00:28:11.799
 stand close

00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:12.359
 together

00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:13.700
 and give us

00:28:13.700 --> 00:28:14.319
 some

00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:17.099
 depth

00:28:17.099 --> 00:28:17.960
 of thinking

00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:18.980
 that deserves

00:28:18.980 --> 00:28:19.579
 attention.

00:28:19.579 --> 00:28:23.500
 I can't

00:28:23.500 --> 00:28:24.139
 help but think

00:28:24.139 --> 00:28:24.839
 I appreciate

00:28:24.839 --> 00:28:25.859
 Pastor Ken

00:28:25.859 --> 00:28:26.699
 mentioning the

00:28:26.699 --> 00:28:27.159
 man who

00:28:27.159 --> 00:28:28.139
 recited Isaiah

00:28:28.139 --> 00:28:29.379
 chapter 53

00:28:29.379 --> 00:28:30.099
 and I have

00:28:30.099 --> 00:28:31.539
 in my notes

00:28:31.539 --> 00:28:32.259
 I have referenced

00:28:32.259 --> 00:28:33.659
 Isaiah chapter 53

00:28:33.659 --> 00:28:36.460
 where it talks

00:28:36.460 --> 00:28:37.019
 about the Lord

00:28:37.019 --> 00:28:37.819
 Jesus and His

00:28:37.819 --> 00:28:39.079
 suffering for us.

00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:41.579
 And I'm reminded

00:28:41.579 --> 00:28:42.500
 of what Jesus

00:28:42.500 --> 00:28:43.960
 did in order

00:28:43.960 --> 00:28:45.079
 to save you

00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:46.000
 and to save me.

00:28:46.339 --> 00:28:47.119
 It is the most

00:28:47.119 --> 00:28:47.699
 incredible,

00:28:47.899 --> 00:28:48.199
 the most

00:28:48.199 --> 00:28:49.500
 unbelievable thing

00:28:49.500 --> 00:28:50.839
 of all of

00:28:50.839 --> 00:28:51.940
 human history

00:28:51.940 --> 00:28:54.039
 that God

00:28:54.039 --> 00:28:56.019
 would send

00:28:56.019 --> 00:28:56.539
 His own

00:28:56.539 --> 00:28:56.960
 Son

00:28:56.960 --> 00:28:58.900
 to take

00:28:58.900 --> 00:28:59.799
 upon Himself

00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:01.000
 human flesh

00:29:01.000 --> 00:29:03.779
 to die

00:29:03.779 --> 00:29:04.579
 in our place

00:29:04.579 --> 00:29:05.160
 and to rise

00:29:05.160 --> 00:29:05.599
 again

00:29:05.599 --> 00:29:08.680
 so that

00:29:08.680 --> 00:29:09.299
 those who

00:29:09.299 --> 00:29:10.140
 believe in Him

00:29:10.140 --> 00:29:11.039
 might have

00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:11.880
 an intimate

00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:12.900
 relationship

00:29:12.900 --> 00:29:13.799
 with the

00:29:13.799 --> 00:29:14.400
 Lord of glory.

00:29:16.920 --> 00:29:17.759
 I think

00:29:17.759 --> 00:29:18.259
 back over

00:29:18.259 --> 00:29:19.140
 to Philippians

00:29:19.140 --> 00:29:19.920
 chapter 2

00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:20.160
 and you

00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:20.500
 remember

00:29:20.500 --> 00:29:21.099
 where Paul

00:29:21.099 --> 00:29:21.579
 is writing

00:29:21.579 --> 00:29:22.140
 to the church

00:29:22.140 --> 00:29:22.799
 at Philippi

00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:23.859
 and he is

00:29:23.859 --> 00:29:24.500
 dealing with

00:29:24.500 --> 00:29:25.720
 the struggle

00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:26.440
 that church

00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:27.059
 is having

00:29:27.059 --> 00:29:28.259
 with attitudes

00:29:28.259 --> 00:29:29.079
 and relationships

00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:29.779
 with one another

00:29:29.779 --> 00:29:30.140
 and he says

00:29:30.140 --> 00:29:30.799
 let this mind

00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:31.299
 be in you

00:29:31.299 --> 00:29:32.279
 which was also

00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:33.180
 in Christ Jesus.

00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:33.660
 In other words

00:29:33.660 --> 00:29:34.579
 hey, hey, hey

00:29:34.579 --> 00:29:36.059
 think the way

00:29:36.059 --> 00:29:37.420
 Jesus thought

00:29:37.420 --> 00:29:40.220
 and having

00:29:40.220 --> 00:29:40.759
 said that

00:29:40.759 --> 00:29:41.119
 he says

00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:41.680
 alright

00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:42.599
 let me help you

00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:42.960
 with that

00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:43.720
 let me talk

00:29:43.720 --> 00:29:44.180
 about what

00:29:44.180 --> 00:29:45.000
 Jesus did

00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:46.680
 he had

00:29:46.680 --> 00:29:47.539
 every right

00:29:47.539 --> 00:29:49.100
 to view

00:29:49.100 --> 00:29:50.039
 himself as

00:29:50.039 --> 00:29:50.860
 co-equal

00:29:50.860 --> 00:29:51.180
 with the

00:29:51.180 --> 00:29:51.600
 Father

00:29:51.600 --> 00:29:53.799
 rightfully so

00:29:53.799 --> 00:29:55.299
 and yet

00:29:55.299 --> 00:29:56.080
 he willingly

00:29:56.080 --> 00:29:57.160
 humbled himself

00:29:57.160 --> 00:29:57.920
 and took upon

00:29:57.920 --> 00:29:58.519
 himself

00:29:58.519 --> 00:29:59.799
 human form

00:29:59.799 --> 00:30:00.680
 and not only

00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:01.279
 that but he

00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:01.880
 obeyed the

00:30:01.880 --> 00:30:02.519
 Father and was

00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:03.200
 willing to go

00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:03.960
 to the cross

00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:04.519
 for you

00:30:04.519 --> 00:30:09.500
 that's depth

00:30:09.500 --> 00:30:12.380
 that's depth

00:30:12.380 --> 00:30:15.400
 now I want

00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:16.099
 to tell you

00:30:16.099 --> 00:30:16.660
 that these

00:30:16.660 --> 00:30:17.579
 four dimensions

00:30:17.579 --> 00:30:18.400
 of his love

00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:19.440
 are designed

00:30:19.440 --> 00:30:20.099
 to serve

00:30:20.099 --> 00:30:21.359
 as prompters

00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:24.579
 and the deeper

00:30:24.579 --> 00:30:25.079
 you think

00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:26.000
 about his love

00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:26.980
 the more blessed

00:30:26.980 --> 00:30:27.720
 you are going

00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:28.039
 to be

00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:28.440
 let me say

00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:28.819
 that again

00:30:28.819 --> 00:30:29.220
 slowly

00:30:29.220 --> 00:30:29.680
 and I don't

00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:30.039
 have it on

00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:30.319
 a header

00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:30.980
 over the board

00:30:30.980 --> 00:30:31.799
 but let me

00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:32.319
 just say this

00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:33.339
 these four

00:30:33.339 --> 00:30:33.920
 dimensions

00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:35.160
 you have them

00:30:35.160 --> 00:30:35.940
 there in front

00:30:35.940 --> 00:30:36.299
 of you

00:30:36.299 --> 00:30:37.660
 it speaks

00:30:37.660 --> 00:30:38.279
 about his

00:30:38.279 --> 00:30:38.779
 breadth

00:30:38.779 --> 00:30:39.380
 and length

00:30:39.380 --> 00:30:39.900
 and width

00:30:39.900 --> 00:30:40.460
 and depth

00:30:40.460 --> 00:30:41.560
 and I want

00:30:41.560 --> 00:30:41.760
 you to

00:30:41.760 --> 00:30:42.520
 height and depth

00:30:42.520 --> 00:30:42.840
 and I want

00:30:42.840 --> 00:30:43.340
 you to understand

00:30:43.340 --> 00:30:44.200
 that these

00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:44.960
 four are

00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:45.980
 prompters

00:30:45.980 --> 00:30:46.660
 they're designed

00:30:46.660 --> 00:30:47.300
 to help you

00:30:47.300 --> 00:30:48.580
 think carefully

00:30:48.580 --> 00:30:49.900
 and accurately

00:30:49.900 --> 00:30:51.160
 about the subject

00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:51.700
 of the love

00:30:51.700 --> 00:30:52.340
 of Christ

00:30:52.340 --> 00:30:55.260
 see it's one

00:30:55.260 --> 00:30:55.880
 thing to memorize

00:30:55.880 --> 00:30:56.780
 the little song

00:30:56.780 --> 00:30:57.340
 and sing it

00:30:57.340 --> 00:30:58.820
 I appreciate

00:30:58.820 --> 00:30:59.680
 Tim Bauer

00:30:59.680 --> 00:31:00.480
 bailing me out

00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:01.120
 last week

00:31:01.120 --> 00:31:02.100
 when we

00:31:02.100 --> 00:31:03.620
 I found myself

00:31:03.620 --> 00:31:04.360
 wanting the words

00:31:04.360 --> 00:31:04.940
 to a song

00:31:04.940 --> 00:31:05.400
 and Tim

00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:06.940
 kindly recited

00:31:06.940 --> 00:31:07.200
 them

00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:07.720
 his love

00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:08.640
 never gives up

00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:08.900
 right

00:31:08.900 --> 00:31:09.280
 you know

00:31:09.279 --> 00:31:10.279
 never walks

00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:11.000
 out on me

00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:11.599
 his love

00:31:11.599 --> 00:31:12.480
 never fails

00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:15.200
 and here

00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:15.920
 when Paul

00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:16.500
 says

00:31:16.500 --> 00:31:17.500
 hey listen

00:31:17.500 --> 00:31:18.160
 I want you

00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:18.599
 to think

00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:18.899
 about

00:31:18.899 --> 00:31:19.920
 the breadth

00:31:19.920 --> 00:31:20.519
 of his love

00:31:20.519 --> 00:31:21.359
 the intention

00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:22.000
 is that we

00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:23.079
 massage that

00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:23.460
 a little bit

00:31:23.460 --> 00:31:24.099
 and squeeze it

00:31:24.099 --> 00:31:24.980
 and figure out

00:31:24.980 --> 00:31:25.619
 what it means

00:31:25.619 --> 00:31:26.099
 to us

00:31:26.099 --> 00:31:26.599
 personally

00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:27.660
 in the frame

00:31:27.660 --> 00:31:28.180
 of scripture

00:31:28.180 --> 00:31:28.579
 let me say

00:31:28.579 --> 00:31:29.180
 this carefully

00:31:29.180 --> 00:31:31.160
 to think about

00:31:31.160 --> 00:31:31.359
 it

00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:32.139
 and not think

00:31:32.139 --> 00:31:32.500
 about it

00:31:32.500 --> 00:31:32.899
 in the frame

00:31:32.899 --> 00:31:33.399
 of scripture

00:31:33.399 --> 00:31:34.759
 is at best

00:31:34.759 --> 00:31:35.759
 very dangerous

00:31:35.759 --> 00:31:36.480
 now why would

00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:36.779
 I say

00:31:36.779 --> 00:31:37.099
 that

00:31:37.099 --> 00:31:41.019
 I don't

00:31:41.019 --> 00:31:41.180
 know

00:31:41.180 --> 00:31:41.460
 should

00:31:41.460 --> 00:31:41.799
 pastor

00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:42.059
 say

00:31:42.059 --> 00:31:42.440
 such a

00:31:42.440 --> 00:31:42.740
 thing

00:31:42.740 --> 00:31:47.799
 apart

00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:49.180
 from the

00:31:49.180 --> 00:31:49.559
 counsel

00:31:49.559 --> 00:31:50.319
 and instruction

00:31:50.319 --> 00:31:51.099
 of the word

00:31:51.099 --> 00:31:51.599
 of God

00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:52.940
 my thinking

00:31:52.940 --> 00:31:54.200
 is very

00:31:54.200 --> 00:31:55.120
 flawed

00:31:55.120 --> 00:31:57.039
 would you

00:31:57.039 --> 00:31:57.319
 agree with

00:31:57.319 --> 00:31:57.519
 that

00:31:57.519 --> 00:31:59.980
 the heart

00:31:59.980 --> 00:32:00.819
 is deceitful

00:32:00.819 --> 00:32:01.620
 what

00:32:01.619 --> 00:32:03.979
 and desperately

00:32:03.979 --> 00:32:04.359
 wicked

00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:04.759
 who can

00:32:04.759 --> 00:32:05.199
 know it

00:32:05.199 --> 00:32:05.879
 left to

00:32:05.879 --> 00:32:06.339
 my own

00:32:06.339 --> 00:32:06.819
 devices

00:32:06.819 --> 00:32:07.419
 I go

00:32:07.419 --> 00:32:07.979
 left of

00:32:07.979 --> 00:32:08.239
 center

00:32:08.239 --> 00:32:09.000
 every time

00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:11.139
 I can't

00:32:11.139 --> 00:32:11.500
 tell you

00:32:11.500 --> 00:32:12.439
 how often

00:32:12.439 --> 00:32:13.059
 the scriptures

00:32:13.059 --> 00:32:14.839
 help me

00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:15.439
 think

00:32:15.439 --> 00:32:16.219
 properly

00:32:16.219 --> 00:32:19.779
 so I want

00:32:19.779 --> 00:32:20.019
 you to

00:32:20.019 --> 00:32:20.419
 recognize

00:32:20.419 --> 00:32:21.439
 that these

00:32:21.439 --> 00:32:21.839
 verses

00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:22.319
 are given

00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:22.739
 to us

00:32:22.739 --> 00:32:23.179
 to help

00:32:23.179 --> 00:32:23.559
 us think

00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:24.000
 carefully

00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:25.299
 and it's

00:32:25.299 --> 00:32:25.599
 not just

00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:25.859
 a matter

00:32:25.859 --> 00:32:26.259
 of singing

00:32:26.259 --> 00:32:26.579
 Jesus

00:32:26.579 --> 00:32:27.059
 loves me

00:32:27.059 --> 00:32:27.279
 this

00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:27.599
 I know

00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:28.000
 it's

00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:28.859
 going

00:32:28.859 --> 00:32:29.139
 further

00:32:29.139 --> 00:32:29.500
 than that

00:32:29.500 --> 00:32:30.119
 you can

00:32:30.119 --> 00:32:30.459
 sing

00:32:30.459 --> 00:32:31.099
 that song

00:32:31.099 --> 00:32:31.740
 until the

00:32:31.740 --> 00:32:32.259
 cows come

00:32:32.259 --> 00:32:32.539
 home

00:32:32.539 --> 00:32:33.339
 and be

00:32:33.339 --> 00:32:34.019
 very

00:32:34.019 --> 00:32:34.339
 very

00:32:34.339 --> 00:32:35.039
 fruitless

00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:35.439
 as a

00:32:35.439 --> 00:32:35.740
 believer

00:32:35.740 --> 00:32:36.000
 do you

00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:36.299
 understand

00:32:36.299 --> 00:32:36.719
 that

00:32:36.719 --> 00:32:39.159
 it's

00:32:39.159 --> 00:32:39.419
 another

00:32:39.419 --> 00:32:39.740
 thing

00:32:39.740 --> 00:32:40.139
 I would

00:32:40.139 --> 00:32:40.539
 encourage

00:32:40.539 --> 00:32:40.839
 you to

00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:41.219
 do this

00:32:41.219 --> 00:32:41.359
 it's

00:32:41.359 --> 00:32:41.599
 another

00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:41.819
 thing

00:32:41.819 --> 00:32:41.980
 to

00:32:41.980 --> 00:32:42.399
 memorize

00:32:42.399 --> 00:32:43.219
 Ephesians

00:32:43.219 --> 00:32:43.879
 chapter 3

00:32:43.879 --> 00:32:44.579
 verse 14

00:32:44.579 --> 00:32:45.159
 through 19

00:32:45.159 --> 00:32:45.980
 but I've

00:32:45.980 --> 00:32:46.419
 had people

00:32:46.419 --> 00:32:46.819
 come in

00:32:46.819 --> 00:32:47.119
 and sit

00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:47.399
 in my

00:32:47.399 --> 00:32:47.719
 office

00:32:47.719 --> 00:32:48.399
 and they

00:32:48.399 --> 00:32:48.579
 have

00:32:48.579 --> 00:32:49.099
 accomplished

00:32:49.099 --> 00:32:49.439
 my

00:32:49.439 --> 00:32:49.859
 counseling

00:32:49.859 --> 00:32:50.399
 assignment

00:32:50.399 --> 00:32:51.059
 and they

00:32:51.059 --> 00:32:51.259
 have

00:32:51.259 --> 00:32:51.679
 memorized

00:32:51.679 --> 00:32:52.019
 the

00:32:52.019 --> 00:32:52.399
 passage

00:32:52.399 --> 00:32:52.980
 and they

00:32:52.980 --> 00:32:53.439
 rattled

00:32:53.439 --> 00:32:53.599
 it

00:32:53.599 --> 00:32:53.839
 off

00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:54.379
 but they

00:32:54.379 --> 00:32:54.480
 are

00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:54.839
 still

00:32:54.839 --> 00:32:55.419
 self

00:32:55.419 --> 00:32:56.179
 consumed

00:32:56.179 --> 00:32:56.740
 and

00:32:56.740 --> 00:32:57.480
 unhappy

00:32:57.480 --> 00:33:02.019
 do you

00:33:02.019 --> 00:33:02.299
 know what

00:33:02.299 --> 00:33:02.960
 every good

00:33:02.960 --> 00:33:03.400
 Jew would

00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:03.579
 do

00:33:03.579 --> 00:33:04.099
 morning and

00:33:04.099 --> 00:33:04.299
 evening

00:33:04.299 --> 00:33:04.539
 as you

00:33:04.539 --> 00:33:04.660
 might

00:33:04.660 --> 00:33:04.839
 know

00:33:04.839 --> 00:33:06.460
 they would

00:33:06.460 --> 00:33:06.900
 recite

00:33:06.900 --> 00:33:07.160
 the

00:33:07.160 --> 00:33:07.599
 Shema

00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:09.480
 hear

00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:10.019
 O Israel

00:33:10.019 --> 00:33:11.099
 the Lord

00:33:11.099 --> 00:33:11.700
 our God

00:33:11.700 --> 00:33:12.740
 the Lord

00:33:12.740 --> 00:33:13.279
 is one

00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:14.000
 and you

00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:14.579
 shall love

00:33:14.579 --> 00:33:15.039
 the Lord

00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:15.559
 your God

00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:16.000
 with all

00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:16.500
 your heart

00:33:16.500 --> 00:33:18.460
 they said

00:33:18.460 --> 00:33:18.839
 it in the

00:33:18.839 --> 00:33:19.180
 morning

00:33:19.180 --> 00:33:20.819
 and by the

00:33:20.819 --> 00:33:21.039
 way

00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:21.500
 if you

00:33:21.500 --> 00:33:21.700
 want to

00:33:21.700 --> 00:33:21.940
 go on

00:33:21.940 --> 00:33:22.220
 the web

00:33:22.220 --> 00:33:22.400
 it's

00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:22.599
 always

00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:23.019
 entertaining

00:33:23.019 --> 00:33:23.339
 to kind

00:33:23.339 --> 00:33:23.519
 of say

00:33:23.519 --> 00:33:23.880
 so what

00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:24.120
 was that

00:33:24.120 --> 00:33:24.319
 like

00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:25.099
 and there's

00:33:25.099 --> 00:33:25.579
 actually

00:33:25.579 --> 00:33:26.659
 rabbinical

00:33:26.659 --> 00:33:27.279
 instruction

00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:28.179
 on when

00:33:28.179 --> 00:33:28.899
 to say

00:33:28.899 --> 00:33:29.539
 the Shema

00:33:29.539 --> 00:33:30.259
 to get

00:33:30.259 --> 00:33:30.779
 the most

00:33:30.779 --> 00:33:31.379
 value

00:33:31.379 --> 00:33:32.099
 from your

00:33:32.099 --> 00:33:32.720
 obedience

00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:36.700
 in fact

00:33:36.700 --> 00:33:37.379
 if you

00:33:37.379 --> 00:33:37.859
 say it

00:33:37.859 --> 00:33:38.960
 after sunrise

00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:39.919
 it's a good

00:33:39.919 --> 00:33:40.480
 thing but it

00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:41.039
 doesn't count

00:33:41.039 --> 00:33:41.419
 as many

00:33:41.419 --> 00:33:41.960
 points as

00:33:41.960 --> 00:33:42.220
 if you

00:33:42.220 --> 00:33:42.500
 say it

00:33:42.500 --> 00:33:43.439
 before sunrise

00:33:43.439 --> 00:33:45.879
 and if

00:33:45.879 --> 00:33:46.240
 you really

00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:46.579
 want to

00:33:46.579 --> 00:33:47.099
 die as

00:33:47.099 --> 00:33:47.539
 a good

00:33:47.539 --> 00:33:48.159
 good Jew

00:33:48.159 --> 00:33:49.139
 you need

00:33:49.139 --> 00:33:49.579
 to have

00:33:49.579 --> 00:33:50.039
 the very

00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:50.899
 last thing

00:33:50.899 --> 00:33:51.759
 you say

00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:52.599
 being the

00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:52.879
 Shema

00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:54.540
 hear

00:33:54.540 --> 00:33:54.720
 oh

00:33:54.720 --> 00:33:55.060
 Israel

00:33:55.060 --> 00:33:55.740
 the Lord

00:33:55.740 --> 00:33:56.320
 our God

00:33:56.320 --> 00:33:57.100
 the Lord

00:33:57.100 --> 00:33:57.620
 is one

00:33:57.620 --> 00:34:01.580
 people don't

00:34:01.580 --> 00:34:01.960
 go to heaven

00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:02.400
 because they

00:34:02.400 --> 00:34:02.760
 say the

00:34:02.760 --> 00:34:03.080
 Shema

00:34:03.080 --> 00:34:05.340
 nor do they

00:34:05.340 --> 00:34:05.860
 go to heaven

00:34:05.860 --> 00:34:06.460
 because they

00:34:06.460 --> 00:34:06.880
 know

00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:07.600
 Ephesians

00:34:07.600 --> 00:34:08.220
 chapter 3

00:34:08.220 --> 00:34:08.920
 verse 14

00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:09.579
 through 19

00:34:09.579 --> 00:34:10.760
 by heart

00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:12.720
 what the

00:34:12.720 --> 00:34:13.400
 father wants

00:34:13.400 --> 00:34:14.079
 us to do

00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:14.920
 is to

00:34:14.920 --> 00:34:15.320
 meditate

00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:16.039
 upon this

00:34:16.039 --> 00:34:16.920
 Bible truth

00:34:16.920 --> 00:34:18.619
 with the

00:34:18.619 --> 00:34:19.180
 enabling of

00:34:19.180 --> 00:34:19.579
 the spirit

00:34:19.579 --> 00:34:20.099
 of God

00:34:20.099 --> 00:34:21.920
 and be

00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:22.559
 affected by

00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:22.820
 it

00:34:22.820 --> 00:34:24.900
 so

00:34:24.900 --> 00:34:26.080
 let me

00:34:26.080 --> 00:34:26.960
 play it

00:34:26.960 --> 00:34:27.360
 out for

00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:27.620
 you in

00:34:27.620 --> 00:34:28.039
 practical

00:34:28.039 --> 00:34:28.420
 terms

00:34:28.420 --> 00:34:29.039
 grasping

00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:29.660
 his love

00:34:29.660 --> 00:34:30.220
 takes the

00:34:30.220 --> 00:34:30.740
 spirit's

00:34:30.740 --> 00:34:31.200
 power

00:34:31.200 --> 00:34:32.180
 and

00:34:32.180 --> 00:34:32.800
 persistent

00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:33.400
 effort

00:34:33.400 --> 00:34:36.660
 there's

00:34:36.660 --> 00:34:36.900
 no

00:34:36.900 --> 00:34:37.880
 accident

00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:38.320
 for the

00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:38.660
 reason

00:34:38.660 --> 00:34:39.420
 that Paul

00:34:39.420 --> 00:34:39.980
 prays

00:34:39.980 --> 00:34:40.440
 as he

00:34:40.440 --> 00:34:40.700
 does

00:34:40.700 --> 00:34:40.920
 and I

00:34:40.920 --> 00:34:41.340
 want to

00:34:41.340 --> 00:34:41.760
 kind of

00:34:41.760 --> 00:34:42.140
 spell

00:34:42.140 --> 00:34:42.539
 something

00:34:42.539 --> 00:34:42.980
 out for

00:34:42.980 --> 00:34:43.280
 you here

00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:43.519
 a little

00:34:43.519 --> 00:34:43.760
 bit

00:34:43.760 --> 00:34:44.960
 in our

00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:45.539
 study of

00:34:45.539 --> 00:34:46.080
 Ephesians

00:34:46.080 --> 00:34:47.080
 we commented

00:34:47.080 --> 00:34:47.360
 on the

00:34:47.360 --> 00:34:47.680
 fact at

00:34:47.680 --> 00:34:47.920
 the very

00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:48.260
 beginning

00:34:48.260 --> 00:34:49.059
 that the

00:34:49.059 --> 00:34:49.640
 first three

00:34:49.640 --> 00:34:50.120
 chapters

00:34:50.120 --> 00:34:50.760
 are

00:34:50.760 --> 00:34:51.840
 informative

00:34:51.840 --> 00:34:52.900
 of the

00:34:52.900 --> 00:34:53.559
 glory of

00:34:53.559 --> 00:34:54.120
 Christ

00:34:54.120 --> 00:34:55.039
 in our

00:34:55.039 --> 00:34:55.600
 redemption

00:34:55.600 --> 00:34:56.140
 and the

00:34:56.140 --> 00:34:56.900
 wonderful work

00:34:56.900 --> 00:34:57.300
 of God

00:34:57.300 --> 00:34:58.059
 in saving

00:34:58.059 --> 00:34:58.320
 us

00:34:58.320 --> 00:34:59.240
 the last

00:34:59.240 --> 00:34:59.920
 three chapters

00:34:59.920 --> 00:35:00.760
 are about

00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:01.519
 our behavior

00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:02.240
 okay

00:35:02.240 --> 00:35:03.720
 and it's

00:35:03.720 --> 00:35:04.400
 very important

00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:05.019
 to recognize

00:35:05.019 --> 00:35:05.559
 that in

00:35:05.559 --> 00:35:05.940
 scripture

00:35:05.940 --> 00:35:07.920
 as it should

00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:08.260
 be in

00:35:08.260 --> 00:35:08.780
 parenting

00:35:08.780 --> 00:35:11.200
 we talk

00:35:11.200 --> 00:35:12.079
 about who

00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:12.700
 God is

00:35:12.700 --> 00:35:13.059
 and what

00:35:13.059 --> 00:35:13.559
 he's done

00:35:13.559 --> 00:35:14.059
 for us

00:35:14.059 --> 00:35:14.820
 before we

00:35:14.820 --> 00:35:15.360
 talk about

00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:16.120
 how we

00:35:16.120 --> 00:35:16.760
 should behave

00:35:16.760 --> 00:35:17.440
 towards him

00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:19.579
 and so

00:35:19.579 --> 00:35:19.900
 as we

00:35:19.900 --> 00:35:20.179
 look at

00:35:20.179 --> 00:35:20.720
 this passage

00:35:20.720 --> 00:35:20.900
 in

00:35:20.900 --> 00:35:21.340
 Ephesians

00:35:21.340 --> 00:35:21.619
 we're

00:35:21.619 --> 00:35:22.980
 at the

00:35:22.980 --> 00:35:24.320
 point

00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:24.960
 the pivot

00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:25.440
 point

00:35:25.440 --> 00:35:26.119
 and the

00:35:26.119 --> 00:35:26.340
 pivot

00:35:26.340 --> 00:35:26.639
 point

00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:27.179
 in particular

00:35:27.179 --> 00:35:28.079
 is understanding

00:35:28.079 --> 00:35:28.780
 comprehending

00:35:28.780 --> 00:35:29.539
 the love

00:35:29.539 --> 00:35:30.000
 of Christ

00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:30.440
 because

00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:31.380
 out of

00:35:31.380 --> 00:35:31.659
 that

00:35:31.659 --> 00:35:32.480
 will flow

00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:33.619
 all of

00:35:33.619 --> 00:35:34.039
 our

00:35:34.039 --> 00:35:34.599
 obedience

00:35:34.599 --> 00:35:35.440
 and the

00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:35.780
 fruitful

00:35:35.780 --> 00:35:36.460
 joy that

00:35:36.460 --> 00:35:36.980
 comes with

00:35:36.980 --> 00:35:37.320
 it

00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:39.119
 so it

00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:39.360
 makes

00:35:39.360 --> 00:35:39.960
 sense

00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:42.559
 then to

00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:43.119
 pray that

00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:43.760
 Paul would

00:35:43.760 --> 00:35:45.199
 ask for

00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:45.780
 the Spirit's

00:35:45.780 --> 00:35:46.440
 help and

00:35:46.440 --> 00:35:46.900
 you should

00:35:46.900 --> 00:35:47.240
 do the

00:35:47.240 --> 00:35:47.559
 same

00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:48.340
 I would

00:35:48.340 --> 00:35:48.699
 encourage

00:35:48.699 --> 00:35:49.000
 you

00:35:49.000 --> 00:35:49.960
 let me

00:35:49.960 --> 00:35:50.679
 have you

00:35:50.679 --> 00:35:51.000
 look up

00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:51.380
 just for a

00:35:51.380 --> 00:35:51.500
 minute

00:35:51.500 --> 00:35:51.840
 look at

00:35:51.840 --> 00:35:51.940
 me

00:35:51.940 --> 00:35:52.360
 please

00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:53.780
 you should

00:35:53.780 --> 00:35:54.099
 pray

00:35:54.099 --> 00:35:54.740
 regularly

00:35:54.740 --> 00:35:55.820
 you should

00:35:55.820 --> 00:35:56.119
 pray

00:35:56.119 --> 00:35:56.720
 regularly

00:35:56.720 --> 00:35:57.900
 that the

00:35:57.900 --> 00:35:58.360
 Spirit of

00:35:58.360 --> 00:35:58.800
 God would

00:35:58.800 --> 00:35:59.220
 help you

00:35:59.220 --> 00:36:00.059
 grow in

00:36:00.059 --> 00:36:00.800
 understanding

00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:01.400
 the love

00:36:01.400 --> 00:36:02.099
 of Christ

00:36:02.099 --> 00:36:04.599
 I'm not

00:36:04.599 --> 00:36:04.760
 going to

00:36:04.760 --> 00:36:05.000
 ask you

00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:05.260
 to raise

00:36:05.260 --> 00:36:05.579
 your hand

00:36:05.579 --> 00:36:05.780
 and say

00:36:05.780 --> 00:36:06.139
 when did

00:36:06.139 --> 00:36:06.440
 you pray

00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:07.159
 that last

00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:12.159
 but I

00:36:12.159 --> 00:36:12.599
 would move

00:36:12.599 --> 00:36:13.079
 that up

00:36:13.079 --> 00:36:13.779
 your prayer

00:36:13.779 --> 00:36:14.139
 list

00:36:14.139 --> 00:36:16.719
 I have

00:36:16.719 --> 00:36:17.139
 a natural

00:36:17.139 --> 00:36:17.759
 deficiency

00:36:17.759 --> 00:36:19.719
 to

00:36:19.719 --> 00:36:20.339
 understanding

00:36:20.339 --> 00:36:20.759
 the love

00:36:20.759 --> 00:36:21.259
 of Christ

00:36:21.259 --> 00:36:21.639
 and let me

00:36:21.639 --> 00:36:21.940
 tell you

00:36:21.940 --> 00:36:22.299
 something

00:36:22.299 --> 00:36:23.259
 understanding

00:36:23.259 --> 00:36:23.719
 the love

00:36:23.719 --> 00:36:24.239
 of Christ

00:36:24.239 --> 00:36:24.960
 is the

00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:25.440
 genesis

00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:26.079
 of loving

00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:26.519
 Christ

00:36:26.519 --> 00:36:26.799
 do you

00:36:26.799 --> 00:36:27.259
 follow that

00:36:27.259 --> 00:36:28.559
 it's the

00:36:28.559 --> 00:36:28.920
 way it

00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:29.319
 happens

00:36:29.319 --> 00:36:30.359
 you understand

00:36:30.359 --> 00:36:30.799
 the love

00:36:30.799 --> 00:36:31.279
 of Christ

00:36:31.279 --> 00:36:31.980
 and that

00:36:31.980 --> 00:36:32.440
 nurtures

00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:33.219
 and stimulates

00:36:33.219 --> 00:36:33.799
 and encourages

00:36:33.799 --> 00:36:34.359
 you to grow

00:36:34.359 --> 00:36:34.839
 in your love

00:36:34.839 --> 00:36:35.319
 for Christ

00:36:35.319 --> 00:36:35.679
 now you're

00:36:35.679 --> 00:36:36.159
 sitting there

00:36:36.159 --> 00:36:36.859
 with a heart

00:36:36.860 --> 00:36:37.440
 that's stone

00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:37.880
 clothed

00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:38.519
 towards Jesus

00:36:38.519 --> 00:36:39.340
 one of two

00:36:39.340 --> 00:36:39.720
 things is

00:36:39.720 --> 00:36:40.160
 going on

00:36:40.160 --> 00:36:40.800
 you don't

00:36:40.800 --> 00:36:41.340
 know him

00:36:41.340 --> 00:36:44.500
 or you've

00:36:44.500 --> 00:36:45.039
 allowed the

00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:45.820
 world and

00:36:45.820 --> 00:36:46.340
 the issues

00:36:46.340 --> 00:36:46.780
 of life

00:36:46.780 --> 00:36:47.240
 to creep

00:36:47.240 --> 00:36:47.860
 in and

00:36:47.860 --> 00:36:48.539
 rob you

00:36:48.539 --> 00:36:49.160
 of the

00:36:49.160 --> 00:36:49.640
 supremacy

00:36:49.640 --> 00:36:50.120
 of the

00:36:50.120 --> 00:36:50.440
 joy

00:36:50.440 --> 00:36:51.200
 of loving

00:36:51.200 --> 00:36:52.079
 the lover

00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:52.460
 of your

00:36:52.460 --> 00:36:52.860
 soul

00:36:52.860 --> 00:36:54.420
 and the

00:36:54.420 --> 00:36:55.180
 starting point

00:36:55.180 --> 00:36:56.019
 is prayer

00:36:56.019 --> 00:36:58.460
 it also

00:36:58.460 --> 00:36:59.840
 makes sense

00:36:59.840 --> 00:37:01.760
 to not only

00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:02.140
 pray

00:37:02.140 --> 00:37:03.140
 but to spend

00:37:03.140 --> 00:37:03.599
 more time

00:37:03.599 --> 00:37:04.200
 in the word

00:37:04.199 --> 00:37:08.159
 I am

00:37:08.159 --> 00:37:09.059
 flummoxed

00:37:09.059 --> 00:37:09.879
 that's a new

00:37:09.879 --> 00:37:10.219
 word for you

00:37:10.219 --> 00:37:10.639
 to look up

00:37:10.639 --> 00:37:11.059
 I suppose

00:37:11.059 --> 00:37:11.679
 flummoxed

00:37:11.679 --> 00:37:12.519
 I'm kind

00:37:12.519 --> 00:37:14.159
 of stumped

00:37:14.159 --> 00:37:14.539
 okay

00:37:14.539 --> 00:37:15.960
 at the

00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:16.619
 many people

00:37:16.619 --> 00:37:17.239
 who tell me

00:37:17.239 --> 00:37:17.599
 that they

00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:18.259
 love Jesus

00:37:18.259 --> 00:37:18.980
 but they

00:37:18.980 --> 00:37:19.699
 never crack

00:37:19.699 --> 00:37:20.139
 the book

00:37:20.139 --> 00:37:20.539
 and read

00:37:20.539 --> 00:37:21.139
 about him

00:37:21.139 --> 00:37:21.939
 or find

00:37:21.939 --> 00:37:22.339
 out what

00:37:22.339 --> 00:37:22.719
 he has

00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:23.279
 to say

00:37:23.279 --> 00:37:24.119
 or care

00:37:24.119 --> 00:37:24.939
 about being

00:37:24.939 --> 00:37:25.679
 with him

00:37:25.679 --> 00:37:26.339
 in prayer

00:37:26.340 --> 00:37:29.160
 what kind

00:37:29.160 --> 00:37:29.980
 of relationship

00:37:29.980 --> 00:37:31.260
 do you have

00:37:31.260 --> 00:37:32.200
 with someone

00:37:32.200 --> 00:37:33.039
 else that you

00:37:33.039 --> 00:37:33.600
 really don't

00:37:33.600 --> 00:37:34.100
 care about

00:37:34.100 --> 00:37:34.840
 talking with

00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:35.620
 or listening

00:37:35.620 --> 00:37:35.980
 to

00:37:35.980 --> 00:37:37.780
 you're fooling

00:37:37.780 --> 00:37:38.340
 yourself

00:37:38.340 --> 00:37:43.160
 let me

00:37:43.160 --> 00:37:43.900
 close off

00:37:43.900 --> 00:37:46.300
 by

00:37:46.300 --> 00:37:47.180
 mashing

00:37:47.180 --> 00:37:47.420
 the

00:37:47.420 --> 00:37:48.019
 accelerator

00:37:48.019 --> 00:37:48.780
 to the

00:37:48.780 --> 00:37:49.180
 floor

00:37:49.180 --> 00:37:52.220
 comprehending

00:37:52.220 --> 00:37:52.980
 his love

00:37:52.980 --> 00:37:54.059
 leads to

00:37:54.059 --> 00:37:54.720
 his fullness

00:37:54.719 --> 00:37:56.359
 Ephesians

00:37:56.359 --> 00:37:57.739
 chapter 3

00:37:57.739 --> 00:37:58.679
 verse 19

00:37:58.679 --> 00:37:59.059
 it says

00:37:59.059 --> 00:37:59.459
 and to know

00:41:07.560 --> 00:41:07.780
 do you

00:41:07.780 --> 00:41:08.140
 follow what

00:41:08.140 --> 00:41:08.260
 I'm

00:41:08.260 --> 00:41:08.520
 saying

00:41:08.519 --> 00:41:12.800
 but if

00:41:12.800 --> 00:41:12.940
 you're

00:41:12.940 --> 00:41:13.179
 sitting

00:41:13.179 --> 00:41:13.500
 here

00:41:13.500 --> 00:41:13.699
 and

00:41:13.699 --> 00:41:14.139
 your

00:41:14.139 --> 00:41:14.420
 love

00:41:14.420 --> 00:41:14.599
 has

00:41:14.599 --> 00:41:14.840
 grown

00:41:14.840 --> 00:41:15.300
 cold

00:41:15.300 --> 00:41:15.639
 then I

00:41:15.639 --> 00:41:15.800
 would

00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:16.059
 plead

00:41:16.059 --> 00:41:16.400
 with you

00:41:16.400 --> 00:41:16.800
 that with

00:41:16.800 --> 00:41:17.360
 humility

00:41:17.360 --> 00:41:17.599
 and

00:41:17.599 --> 00:41:18.159
 brokenness

00:41:18.159 --> 00:41:18.300
 you

00:41:18.300 --> 00:41:18.639
 begin

00:41:18.639 --> 00:41:19.039
 praying

00:41:19.039 --> 00:41:19.420
 Lord

00:41:19.420 --> 00:41:20.079
 now listen

00:41:20.079 --> 00:41:20.699
 I think

00:41:20.699 --> 00:41:21.099
 what we

00:41:21.099 --> 00:41:21.480
 say in

00:41:21.480 --> 00:41:21.619
 prayer

00:41:21.619 --> 00:41:21.920
 is pretty

00:41:21.920 --> 00:41:22.300
 important

00:41:22.300 --> 00:41:23.059
 Lord

00:41:23.059 --> 00:41:24.079
 I want

00:41:24.079 --> 00:41:24.460
 you to

00:41:24.460 --> 00:41:24.639
 do

00:41:24.639 --> 00:41:25.000
 whatever

00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:25.420
 you

00:41:25.420 --> 00:41:25.759
 think

00:41:25.759 --> 00:41:26.420
 necessary

00:41:26.420 --> 00:41:26.980
 to

00:41:26.980 --> 00:41:27.619
 encourage

00:41:27.619 --> 00:41:27.880
 me

00:41:27.880 --> 00:41:28.099
 to

00:41:28.099 --> 00:41:28.840
 persistently

00:41:28.840 --> 00:41:29.199
 grow

00:41:36.239 --> 00:41:36.400
 in

00:41:36.400 --> 00:41:36.719

00:41:36.719 --> 00:41:37.960
 I'm

00:41:37.960 --> 00:41:38.119
 going to

00:41:38.119 --> 00:41:38.280
 pray

00:41:38.280 --> 00:41:38.440

00:41:41.559 --> 00:41:41.760
 care

00:42:23.500 --> 00:42:24.420
 disobedient
