00:00:00.300 --> 00:00:03.740
 Luke chapter 10, verses 25 to 42.

00:00:06.379 --> 00:00:12.200
 And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying,

00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:16.899
 Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

00:00:17.820 --> 00:00:20.559
 He said to him, What is written in the law?

00:00:21.300 --> 00:00:22.480
 How do you read it?

00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:27.980
 And he answered, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart

00:00:27.980 --> 00:00:33.340
 and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind

00:00:33.340 --> 00:00:35.600
 and your neighbor as yourself.

00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:39.719
 And he said to him, You have answered correctly.

00:00:40.380 --> 00:00:42.960
 Do this and you will live.

00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:48.019
 But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus,

00:00:48.939 --> 00:00:51.000
 And who is my neighbor?

00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:56.960
 Jesus replied, A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho,

00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:01.240
 and he fell among robbers who stripped him and beat him and departed,

00:01:01.539 --> 00:01:02.640
 leaving him half dead.

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:06.640
 Now by chance, a priest was going down that road,

00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:09.500
 and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

00:01:10.900 --> 00:01:16.219
 So likewise, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him,

00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.079
 passed by on the other side.

00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:26.500
 But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was,

00:01:26.759 --> 00:01:30.079
 and when he saw him, he had compassion.

00:01:31.099 --> 00:01:35.979
 He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine.

00:01:36.700 --> 00:01:41.359
 Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him.

00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:46.920
 And the next day, he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper,

00:01:47.379 --> 00:01:50.379
 saying, Take care of him, and whatever more you spend,

00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:52.859
 I will repay you when I come back.

00:01:54.299 --> 00:01:58.659
 Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor

00:01:58.659 --> 00:02:00.620
 to the man who fell among the robbers?

00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:05.019
 He said, The one who showed him mercy.

00:02:05.019 --> 00:02:10.939
 And Jesus said to him, You go and do likewise.

00:02:12.019 --> 00:02:15.500
 Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village,

00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:19.599
 and a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house.

00:02:20.740 --> 00:02:23.139
 And she had a sister called Mary,

00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:28.419
 who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching.

00:02:30.019 --> 00:02:33.460
 But Martha was distracted with much serving,

00:02:33.460 --> 00:02:35.620
 and she went up to him and said,

00:02:35.820 --> 00:02:40.740
 Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone?

00:02:42.180 --> 00:02:44.340
 Tell her then to help me.

00:02:45.300 --> 00:02:46.800
 But the Lord answered her,

00:02:47.600 --> 00:02:49.420
 Martha, Martha,

00:02:49.980 --> 00:02:53.120
 you are anxious and troubled about many things,

00:02:53.740 --> 00:02:56.120
 but one thing is necessary.

00:02:57.300 --> 00:02:59.159
 Mary has chosen the good portion,

00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.260
 which will not be taken away from her.

00:03:02.259 --> 00:03:06.199
 This is God's infallible and authoritative word.

00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:11.259
 The elusive pursuit of immortality

00:03:11.819 --> 00:03:16.419
 has been at the heart of humanity's spiritual aspirations throughout history.

00:03:17.419 --> 00:03:20.439
 And that's because God created us for eternal life.

00:03:21.359 --> 00:03:25.039
 But as Genesis chapter 3, verses 22 to 24 teach us,

00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:29.180
 he mercifully cut us off from that possibility of eternal life

00:03:29.180 --> 00:03:30.120
 because of our sin,

00:03:30.480 --> 00:03:32.319
 because we rebelled against him,

00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:36.840
 lest we live forever in our state of rebellion and separation from God.

00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.000
 God cut us off from that possibility.

00:03:39.640 --> 00:03:40.580
 And ever since then,

00:03:40.659 --> 00:03:43.659
 so many people have sought immortality apart from God,

00:03:43.920 --> 00:03:47.080
 even though it is only to be found in him.

00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:51.480
 And the Jews, likewise, are preoccupied with this question.

00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.239
 And verse 25 says that,

00:03:54.519 --> 00:03:58.039
 Behold, a lawyer stood up to put Jesus to the test.

00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:01.959
 The lawyer in view here is not an attorney that we think of

00:04:01.959 --> 00:04:03.519
 when we think of here the word lawyer,

00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:05.359
 but a teacher of the Jewish law.

00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:09.479
 It's a religious scholar and an expert of the Jewish Torah,

00:04:09.659 --> 00:04:10.899
 the first five books of the Bible.

00:04:10.900 --> 00:04:16.000
 And he stands up from the midst of the crowd and questions Jesus.

00:04:16.620 --> 00:04:19.720
 Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

00:04:20.280 --> 00:04:23.579
 So as a Jew who believed in the promise of the resurrection life

00:04:23.579 --> 00:04:25.819
 spoken of in Daniel, the book of Daniel,

00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:29.519
 the scribe wants to make sure that he doesn't miss out in the end.

00:04:30.019 --> 00:04:32.259
 How can I make sure that I will be raised

00:04:32.259 --> 00:04:34.780
 to inherit that eternal resurrection life in the end?

00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:39.639
 And Jesus answers his question with a counter question in verse 26,

00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:40.500
 as he often does.

00:04:40.860 --> 00:04:41.539
 He asks him,

00:04:41.659 --> 00:04:43.139
 What is written in the law?

00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:45.360
 How do you read it?

00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:49.159
 This is a significant question because as Jesus says this,

00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:51.959
 he reveals his belief that the answer,

00:04:52.219 --> 00:04:55.279
 the correct answer to describe this lawyer's question

00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:58.120
 is provided in the revealed will of God

00:04:58.120 --> 00:04:59.479
 in the Old Testament scriptures.

00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:03.659
 He points the Bible scholar back to the Bible.

00:05:04.159 --> 00:05:07.599
 And the lawyer actually gives the correct answer.

00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:11.120
 Jesus points that out in verse 28.

00:05:11.320 --> 00:05:14.520
 And the answer is what we now know as the greatest commandment.

00:05:14.700 --> 00:05:15.580
 In verse 27,

00:05:15.780 --> 00:05:18.780
 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart

00:05:18.780 --> 00:05:21.760
 and with all your soul and with all your strength

00:05:21.760 --> 00:05:23.400
 and with all your mind

00:05:23.400 --> 00:05:25.740
 and your neighbor as yourself.

00:05:26.580 --> 00:05:30.379
 Or the command which we had as part of our call to worship earlier today

00:05:30.379 --> 00:05:33.120
 from Deuteronomy 6 verse 5,

00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:37.540
 The love of the Lord your God with all your heart and soul and strength and mind.

00:05:37.579 --> 00:05:38.720
 That comes from Deuteronomy.

00:05:39.379 --> 00:05:41.519
 And the command to love your neighbor as yourself

00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:45.639
 comes from Leviticus chapter 19 verse 18.

00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.840
 So in sum, in the entire Old Testament,

00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:50.840
 there were 613 commandments.

00:05:51.500 --> 00:05:55.240
 And all of those were summarized in what we know as the Ten Commandments.

00:05:55.240 --> 00:06:00.600
 And the Ten Commandments are really distilled in this greatest commandment.

00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:02.620
 The first four of the Ten Commandments,

00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:04.439
 which deal with our relationship to God,

00:06:04.540 --> 00:06:05.480
 how we have to relate to Him,

00:06:05.900 --> 00:06:08.000
 are summarized in the command to love the Lord your God

00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:09.460
 with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.

00:06:09.860 --> 00:06:13.259
 And the command, the last six of the Ten Commandments,

00:06:13.300 --> 00:06:15.160
 which deal with our relation to one another,

00:06:15.660 --> 00:06:19.100
 is summarized in the command to love your neighbor as yourself.

00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:21.980
 And that's why this is called the greatest commandment.

00:06:21.980 --> 00:06:24.740
 It's the greatest commandment, not in the sense that it's one of many.

00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:26.580
 It's like the best among all the other commandments.

00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:31.300
 It's the one command, rather, that encompasses all of the other commands.

00:06:31.980 --> 00:06:34.100
 And that's why in Matthew 22, 40,

00:06:34.220 --> 00:06:39.600
 Jesus writes that all the law and the prophets hang on these two commandments.

00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:43.560
 And that's why Paul writes repeatedly that the whole law is fulfilled

00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:45.980
 in these double love commands.

00:06:46.980 --> 00:06:51.319
 So then what then do these all-important love commands mean?

00:06:51.980 --> 00:06:53.920
 When it comes to loving God,

00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:56.840
 what's emphasized is the totality of devotion.

00:06:57.200 --> 00:06:59.020
 We have to be totally devoted to Him.

00:06:59.080 --> 00:07:03.340
 Notice the four times the word all is repeated.

00:07:03.900 --> 00:07:05.860
 We have to love God with all our heart,

00:07:05.980 --> 00:07:07.100
 and with all our soul,

00:07:07.180 --> 00:07:08.379
 and with all our strength,

00:07:08.580 --> 00:07:09.980
 and with all our mind.

00:07:10.420 --> 00:07:12.759
 The word heart refers to the inner person.

00:07:13.200 --> 00:07:16.120
 It's the seed of our thoughts and our beliefs,

00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:18.120
 as the Bible uses the word.

00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:20.920
 That's why in Luke 1, 51, and Luke 2, 35,

00:07:21.139 --> 00:07:23.240
 it speaks of the thoughts of people's hearts.

00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:25.040
 It's the inner person.

00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:28.699
 The word soul refers to the spirit or life of a person.

00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:31.879
 Strength refers to our might or energy.

00:07:32.540 --> 00:07:35.660
 And mind refers to our cognitive faculty.

00:07:36.860 --> 00:07:37.759
 And in English,

00:07:38.019 --> 00:07:41.280
 we use these terms in vaguely interchangeable ways, don't we?

00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:42.319
 We say things like,

00:07:42.740 --> 00:07:44.120
 put your heart into it.

00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:46.259
 Put your soul into it.

00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:48.639
 Bear your heart to that person.

00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:50.639
 Bear your soul to that person.

00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:51.899
 What's on your mind?

00:07:52.500 --> 00:07:53.540
 What's on your heart?

00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:56.399
 Do it with all your strength.

00:07:56.660 --> 00:07:57.680
 Do it with all your heart.

00:07:57.759 --> 00:07:59.319
 So we use it interchangeably,

00:07:59.379 --> 00:08:01.439
 and it's actually very similar in the Bible.

00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:04.620
 These terms are used interchangeably in a lot of places.

00:08:04.699 --> 00:08:06.259
 So it's kind of hard to pin them down

00:08:06.259 --> 00:08:07.959
 and define it clearly and say,

00:08:08.019 --> 00:08:09.519
 this means that, and that means that.

00:08:10.100 --> 00:08:11.300
 And they overlap.

00:08:11.300 --> 00:08:13.759
 And so what's being emphasized here

00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.939
 is not that we are to use these four different faculties

00:08:16.939 --> 00:08:18.620
 to worship God and to love Him,

00:08:19.020 --> 00:08:21.280
 but rather that we are to use the totality

00:08:21.280 --> 00:08:22.740
 of all of our abilities,

00:08:23.100 --> 00:08:24.439
 all of our faculties,

00:08:24.580 --> 00:08:27.780
 all that we are to love Him and follow Him.

00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:32.100
 It calls for a reorientation of our whole selves

00:08:32.100 --> 00:08:34.960
 to God's purposes and priorities.

00:08:35.560 --> 00:08:36.799
 As I like to say,

00:08:37.180 --> 00:08:37.940
 I frequently,

00:08:37.940 --> 00:08:39.180
 that loving God,

00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:40.040
 following Him,

00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:40.960
 being His disciple,

00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:43.720
 is not a part-time preoccupation.

00:08:44.580 --> 00:08:46.240
 It's an all-consuming affair

00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:48.580
 that requires total allegiance.

00:08:50.260 --> 00:08:52.060
 When it comes to loving our neighbors,

00:08:52.380 --> 00:08:53.340
 what's emphasized

00:08:53.340 --> 00:08:55.340
 is not the totality of devotion,

00:08:55.580 --> 00:08:56.960
 but selfless service.

00:08:57.620 --> 00:09:00.200
 We are to love our neighbor as ourselves.

00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:04.220
 Some people over-psychologize this verse,

00:09:04.420 --> 00:09:06.220
 and they say that this means

00:09:06.220 --> 00:09:08.100
 we must first love ourselves,

00:09:08.379 --> 00:09:10.320
 because how can you love someone else

00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:12.720
 unless you love someone as yourself

00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:13.580
 unless you love yourself?

00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:16.280
 And they use this verse

00:09:16.280 --> 00:09:18.360
 to teach the importance of self-love

00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:20.820
 or self-esteem,

00:09:21.780 --> 00:09:23.980
 when that's precisely the opposite

00:09:23.980 --> 00:09:26.400
 of what this verse is commanding.

00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:29.259
 The verse does not command self-love.

00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:31.379
 It assumes self-love

00:09:31.379 --> 00:09:33.759
 and teaches us to subordinate

00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:36.720
 our self-love to neighbor love.

00:09:38.299 --> 00:09:41.179
 We naturally have our own interests in mind

00:09:41.179 --> 00:09:42.139
 as human beings.

00:09:42.299 --> 00:09:43.539
 We're naturally selfish.

00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:45.639
 But Scripture commands us to look out

00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:47.620
 not only for our own interests,

00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:49.740
 but also for our neighbor's interests.

00:09:49.819 --> 00:09:50.919
 Instead of being selfish

00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:52.120
 with our time,

00:09:52.220 --> 00:09:52.860
 with our relationships,

00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:53.559
 with our money,

00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:55.019
 we should be selfless

00:09:55.019 --> 00:09:56.199
 toward our neighbor.

00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:58.420
 It requires us to sacrifice.

00:09:59.900 --> 00:10:01.360
 So to put it another way,

00:10:01.420 --> 00:10:02.800
 to summarize the greatest commandment,

00:10:02.860 --> 00:10:04.240
 it means to love God

00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:05.840
 with our whole selves

00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:07.320
 and to love our neighbor

00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:09.259
 as ourselves.

00:10:09.259 --> 00:10:11.180
 That's really the main point,

00:10:11.259 --> 00:10:12.840
 main point of this passage.

00:10:13.580 --> 00:10:15.220
 But that's still pretty abstract,

00:10:15.300 --> 00:10:15.640
 isn't it?

00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:17.759
 What does that look like?

00:10:19.140 --> 00:10:20.420
 And so Luke actually

00:10:20.420 --> 00:10:21.560
 helpfully illustrates

00:10:21.560 --> 00:10:22.700
 the greatest commandment

00:10:22.700 --> 00:10:24.360
 in very concrete terms

00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:25.480
 in the following two stories.

00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:27.139
 first is the parable

00:10:27.139 --> 00:10:28.060
 of the Good Samaritan

00:10:28.060 --> 00:10:29.580
 in verses 29 to 37,

00:10:29.580 --> 00:10:30.879
 which show us

00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:31.700
 what it looks like

00:10:31.700 --> 00:10:32.539
 to love our neighbor

00:10:32.539 --> 00:10:33.240
 as ourselves.

00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:34.720
 And then,

00:10:34.800 --> 00:10:35.820
 in the following story

00:10:35.820 --> 00:10:37.019
 of Martha and Mary

00:10:37.019 --> 00:10:38.659
 in verses 38 to 42,

00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:39.759
 Luke teaches us

00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:40.940
 how we ought to love God

00:10:40.940 --> 00:10:41.879
 with our whole selves.

00:10:42.539 --> 00:10:43.519
 So let's first look at

00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:44.100
 what it means

00:10:44.100 --> 00:10:44.700
 to love our neighbor

00:10:44.700 --> 00:10:45.340
 as ourselves

00:10:45.340 --> 00:10:47.519
 in verses 29 to 37.

00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:49.259
 He says in verse 29

00:10:49.259 --> 00:10:50.000
 that the lawyer,

00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.899
 desiring to justify himself,

00:10:53.340 --> 00:10:54.360
 said to Jesus,

00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:57.240
 who is my neighbor?

00:10:58.360 --> 00:10:59.259
 The lawyer wanted

00:10:59.259 --> 00:11:00.840
 to prove himself right.

00:11:01.179 --> 00:11:02.600
 He wanted to show himself

00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:03.679
 to be righteous.

00:11:04.419 --> 00:11:06.460
 So he asked a follow-up question,

00:11:06.580 --> 00:11:07.779
 who is my neighbor?

00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:09.019
 Expecting Jesus

00:11:09.019 --> 00:11:11.000
 to kind of narrow down

00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:12.059
 the definition a bit,

00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:13.379
 narrow the scope

00:11:13.379 --> 00:11:13.960
 of the commands

00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:15.299
 to make it a little more feasible,

00:11:15.620 --> 00:11:16.080
 accessible.

00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:17.720
 He's my neighbor,

00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:18.560
 my own family.

00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:21.480
 Or maybe the people

00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:23.279
 that live in the immediate vicinity.

00:11:24.920 --> 00:11:26.279
 The ones in my condo.

00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:29.180
 Or maybe only my fellow Jews,

00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:30.840
 which is how most rabbis

00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:31.360
 during this time

00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:32.580
 interpreted that command.

00:11:34.740 --> 00:11:36.080
 This lawyer wants

00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:37.639
 and expects Jesus

00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:39.379
 to restrict the definition

00:11:39.379 --> 00:11:39.940
 of neighbor

00:11:39.940 --> 00:11:41.580
 in a way that allows him

00:11:41.580 --> 00:11:42.200
 to demonstrate

00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:43.160
 that he has kept

00:11:43.160 --> 00:11:44.160
 the greatest commandment.

00:11:44.560 --> 00:11:44.899
 Oh yeah,

00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:46.139
 I love my fellow Jews.

00:11:46.139 --> 00:11:48.360
 I love my fellow people.

00:11:49.939 --> 00:11:51.000
 We're also tempted

00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:52.199
 at times like this,

00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:52.500
 aren't we,

00:11:52.539 --> 00:11:53.340
 to adopt

00:11:53.340 --> 00:11:55.500
 the minimum requirement mentality

00:11:55.500 --> 00:11:57.799
 in order to justify ourselves.

00:12:00.439 --> 00:12:02.580
 Hebrews 10, 24 to 25

00:12:02.580 --> 00:12:03.340
 commands us,

00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:04.080
 let us consider

00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:05.580
 how to stir up one another

00:12:05.580 --> 00:12:06.779
 to love and good works

00:12:06.779 --> 00:12:07.840
 and neglecting

00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:08.679
 to meet together,

00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:09.500
 not neglecting

00:12:09.500 --> 00:12:10.200
 to meet together

00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:11.319
 as is the habit of some,

00:12:11.580 --> 00:12:12.899
 but encouraging one another.

00:12:12.899 --> 00:12:15.259
 Scripture commands us

00:12:15.259 --> 00:12:16.059
 not to neglect

00:12:16.059 --> 00:12:16.720
 meeting together,

00:12:16.819 --> 00:12:17.639
 but what exactly

00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:18.199
 does it mean

00:12:18.199 --> 00:12:18.740
 to neglect

00:12:18.740 --> 00:12:19.439
 the meeting together?

00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:23.139
 We try to define it.

00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:23.899
 Surely,

00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:25.559
 attending worship service

00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:26.179
 once a month

00:12:26.179 --> 00:12:27.360
 can't be considered

00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:28.179
 neglect, right?

00:12:30.539 --> 00:12:31.779
 If I always attend

00:12:31.779 --> 00:12:33.079
 Easter and Christmas services,

00:12:33.419 --> 00:12:34.399
 that's infrequent,

00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:34.759
 sure,

00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:35.899
 but that's not neglect,

00:12:36.100 --> 00:12:36.419
 right?

00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:38.799
 Well,

00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:39.319
 I'm not part

00:12:39.319 --> 00:12:40.059
 of a local church,

00:12:40.139 --> 00:12:40.439
 but hey,

00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:41.940
 I watch live stream services

00:12:41.940 --> 00:12:42.740
 online and listen

00:12:42.740 --> 00:12:43.900
 to sermon podcasts.

00:12:45.400 --> 00:12:45.840
 Surely,

00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:47.160
 that meets the requirement,

00:12:47.300 --> 00:12:47.700
 doesn't it?

00:12:49.380 --> 00:12:50.400
 We try to find

00:12:50.400 --> 00:12:51.460
 the minimum requirement

00:12:51.460 --> 00:12:52.820
 because we want

00:12:52.820 --> 00:12:53.560
 to fulfill it

00:12:53.560 --> 00:12:53.980
 and say

00:12:53.980 --> 00:12:55.740
 and justify ourselves.

00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:56.900
 2 Corinthians 9,

00:12:57.020 --> 00:12:57.640
 6 to 7

00:12:57.640 --> 00:12:58.060
 says,

00:12:58.120 --> 00:12:58.900
 the point is this,

00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:00.300
 whoever sows sparingly

00:13:00.300 --> 00:13:01.840
 will also reap sparingly

00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:03.700
 and whoever sows bountifully

00:13:03.700 --> 00:13:05.240
 will also reap bountifully.

00:13:05.640 --> 00:13:06.840
 Each one must give

00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:07.800
 as he has decided

00:13:07.800 --> 00:13:08.380
 in his heart,

00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:09.440
 not reluctantly

00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:10.420
 or under compulsion

00:13:10.420 --> 00:13:11.280
 for God loves

00:13:11.280 --> 00:13:12.480
 a cheerful giver.

00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:13.560
 Okay,

00:13:13.740 --> 00:13:14.600
 so God commands us

00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:15.620
 to give to the church,

00:13:15.700 --> 00:13:16.320
 but how much

00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:16.960
 should we give?

00:13:17.620 --> 00:13:18.980
 What's the minimum requirement?

00:13:20.900 --> 00:13:22.200
 If I give a couple bucks

00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:23.260
 every week cheerfully,

00:13:23.340 --> 00:13:23.820
 that's enough,

00:13:23.900 --> 00:13:24.060
 right?

00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:25.860
 Tell me,

00:13:25.920 --> 00:13:27.080
 how much do I need to give?

00:13:27.100 --> 00:13:28.100
 I hear this question a lot.

00:13:28.620 --> 00:13:29.720
 How much do I need to give?

00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:30.600
 10%?

00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:31.920
 Just tell me,

00:13:31.940 --> 00:13:32.400
 I'll do it.

00:13:32.500 --> 00:13:33.240
 Tithing means

00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:35.940
 maybe I'm slowing

00:13:35.940 --> 00:13:36.440
 bountifully,

00:13:36.540 --> 00:13:36.700
 right?

00:13:36.700 --> 00:13:39.100
 Is it okay

00:13:39.100 --> 00:13:39.740
 to give 10%

00:13:39.740 --> 00:13:40.460
 after taxes?

00:13:41.040 --> 00:13:41.280
 Okay,

00:13:41.379 --> 00:13:41.560
 fine.

00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:42.259
 I'll give 10%

00:13:42.259 --> 00:13:43.060
 before taxes.

00:13:43.160 --> 00:13:43.259
 Well,

00:13:43.280 --> 00:13:43.860
 then I've done it,

00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:44.080
 right?

00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:45.000
 That means I've

00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:45.640
 sold bountifully.

00:13:45.700 --> 00:13:46.900
 I've met the requirement.

00:13:47.160 --> 00:13:48.080
 Instead of wanting

00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:48.980
 to obey God

00:13:48.980 --> 00:13:50.000
 to the fullest,

00:13:51.280 --> 00:13:53.040
 instead of wanting

00:13:53.040 --> 00:13:53.500
 to remain

00:13:53.500 --> 00:13:54.060
 in the center

00:13:54.060 --> 00:13:54.740
 of his will,

00:13:54.860 --> 00:13:55.820
 we look to fulfill

00:13:55.820 --> 00:13:56.900
 the minimum requirement

00:13:56.900 --> 00:13:57.620
 so we could

00:13:57.620 --> 00:13:58.920
 get a passing grade.

00:14:00.160 --> 00:14:00.920
 We're like a person

00:14:00.920 --> 00:14:01.759
 who's trying to find

00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:02.840
 all the loopholes

00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:03.900
 in the tax code

00:14:03.900 --> 00:14:04.720
 so we can pay

00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:05.600
 as little tax

00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:06.440
 as possible.

00:14:07.460 --> 00:14:08.220
 That's not how

00:14:08.220 --> 00:14:09.000
 Christian obedience

00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:09.740
 is supposed to be

00:14:09.740 --> 00:14:10.440
 and that's exactly

00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:11.160
 what this lawyer

00:14:11.160 --> 00:14:11.900
 is trying to do.

00:14:12.259 --> 00:14:13.100
 So who exactly

00:14:13.100 --> 00:14:13.640
 is my neighbor?

00:14:13.740 --> 00:14:14.540
 Tell me exactly.

00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:15.340
 Restrict it.

00:14:15.680 --> 00:14:16.400
 Define it.

00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:17.920
 Narrow it down

00:14:17.920 --> 00:14:18.500
 for me so that

00:14:18.500 --> 00:14:19.379
 I can fulfill it

00:14:19.379 --> 00:14:20.080
 and feel good

00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:20.680
 about myself

00:14:20.680 --> 00:14:21.800
 and justify myself

00:14:21.800 --> 00:14:22.780
 before the eyes of men.

00:14:23.740 --> 00:14:24.820
 And Jesus replies

00:14:24.820 --> 00:14:26.759
 in verses 30 to 35

00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:27.920
 with the famous parable

00:14:27.920 --> 00:14:28.820
 of the Good Samaritan.

00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:30.320
 Begins this way.

00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:32.180
 A man was going down

00:14:32.180 --> 00:14:33.100
 from Jerusalem

00:14:33.100 --> 00:14:33.900
 to Jericho

00:14:33.899 --> 00:14:34.720
 and he fell

00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:35.600
 among robbers

00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:36.699
 who stripped him

00:14:36.699 --> 00:14:37.299
 and beat him

00:14:37.299 --> 00:14:37.840
 and departed

00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:39.299
 leaving him half dead.

00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:40.639
 This is a very

00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:41.759
 realistic parable.

00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:42.259
 The journey

00:14:42.259 --> 00:14:42.899
 from Jerusalem

00:14:42.899 --> 00:14:43.539
 to Jericho

00:14:43.539 --> 00:14:45.000
 includes what is called

00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:46.399
 the passage of blood.

00:14:47.199 --> 00:14:48.199
 It's called that

00:14:48.199 --> 00:14:48.840
 because there were

00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:49.860
 so many robberies

00:14:49.860 --> 00:14:50.720
 and murders

00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:51.379
 that took place

00:14:51.379 --> 00:14:51.939
 on that road.

00:14:51.939 --> 00:14:53.459
 The winding desert road

00:14:53.459 --> 00:14:54.059
 going down

00:14:54.059 --> 00:14:54.620
 from Jerusalem

00:14:54.620 --> 00:14:55.259
 to Jericho

00:14:55.259 --> 00:14:55.840
 was surrounded

00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:56.740
 by caves

00:14:56.740 --> 00:14:58.100
 which made

00:14:58.100 --> 00:14:59.360
 ideal hideouts

00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:00.939
 for robbers,

00:15:01.100 --> 00:15:01.779
 highway robbers.

00:15:01.779 --> 00:15:03.519
 And this man

00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:04.039
 in the parable

00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:05.519
 runs into such robbers

00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:06.480
 and they steal

00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:07.519
 his stuff

00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:07.959
 and leave him

00:15:07.959 --> 00:15:08.679
 half dead

00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:09.279
 and this man

00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:09.939
 is now fighting

00:15:09.939 --> 00:15:10.620
 for his life.

00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:11.459
 If no one

00:15:11.459 --> 00:15:12.339
 comes to his rescue

00:15:12.339 --> 00:15:13.159
 he will die.

00:15:14.339 --> 00:15:15.279
 But what good luck

00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:16.879
 it says in verse 31

00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:18.019
 not by chance

00:15:18.019 --> 00:15:19.579
 a priest

00:15:19.579 --> 00:15:20.980
 was going down

00:15:20.980 --> 00:15:21.459
 that road.

00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:23.120
 A priest

00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:24.679
 a minister

00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:25.299
 at the temple

00:15:25.299 --> 00:15:25.759
 of God.

00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:27.559
 Surely this man

00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:28.059
 of God

00:15:28.059 --> 00:15:29.259
 will come to the aid

00:15:29.259 --> 00:15:30.279
 of this dying man

00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:31.720
 but in a surprising

00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:32.439
 turn of events

00:15:32.439 --> 00:15:33.379
 it says that the priest

00:15:33.379 --> 00:15:34.720
 when he saw him

00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:36.459
 he passed by

00:15:36.459 --> 00:15:37.439
 on the other side.

00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:38.419
 He intentionally

00:15:38.419 --> 00:15:39.579
 avoids the man.

00:15:40.439 --> 00:15:41.120
 Various reasons

00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:41.720
 are possible

00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:42.620
 but we're not told

00:15:42.620 --> 00:15:43.519
 exactly what it is

00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:44.120
 so we can't know

00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:44.659
 for sure.

00:15:45.179 --> 00:15:46.279
 Perhaps he's fearful

00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:47.439
 that there are more robbers

00:15:47.439 --> 00:15:48.459
 just like the ones

00:15:48.459 --> 00:15:49.600
 that attack this man

00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:50.839
 and they don't want to

00:15:50.839 --> 00:15:51.740
 he doesn't want to risk

00:15:51.740 --> 00:15:52.799
 going anywhere near there.

00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:54.000
 Perhaps he thinks

00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:55.000
 the man might be dead

00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:55.899
 because he's half dead

00:15:55.899 --> 00:15:56.679
 he looks dead

00:15:56.679 --> 00:15:58.000
 and he doesn't want to

00:15:58.000 --> 00:15:59.480
 risk ritual impurity

00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:00.659
 by coming into contact

00:16:00.659 --> 00:16:01.340
 with the corpse

00:16:01.340 --> 00:16:02.659
 since he's a priest.

00:16:04.220 --> 00:16:05.159
 Whatever the reason

00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:06.060
 the priest doesn't want

00:16:06.060 --> 00:16:06.779
 anything to do

00:16:06.779 --> 00:16:07.680
 with this dying man.

00:16:08.019 --> 00:16:09.100
 And verse 32 continues

00:16:09.100 --> 00:16:10.680
 so likewise a Levite

00:16:10.680 --> 00:16:12.360
 when he came to the place

00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:13.039
 and saw him

00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:13.740
 passed by

00:16:13.740 --> 00:16:14.519
 on the other side.

00:16:15.300 --> 00:16:16.779
 Moses' brother Aaron

00:16:16.779 --> 00:16:17.920
 his family

00:16:17.920 --> 00:16:19.060
 and their descendants

00:16:19.060 --> 00:16:20.960
 had the exclusive right

00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:22.019
 to be priests

00:16:22.019 --> 00:16:23.300
 in the temple of God.

00:16:23.300 --> 00:16:24.340
 But the rest

00:16:24.340 --> 00:16:24.920
 of the members

00:16:24.920 --> 00:16:26.420
 of the tribe of Levi

00:16:26.420 --> 00:16:27.960
 to which Aaron belonged

00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:29.700
 took on lesser responsibilities

00:16:29.700 --> 00:16:30.400
 around the temple

00:16:30.400 --> 00:16:31.100
 and functioned

00:16:31.100 --> 00:16:31.600
 as basically

00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:33.080
 assistance to the priests.

00:16:33.340 --> 00:16:35.400
 So they were also privileged

00:16:35.400 --> 00:16:36.700
 they were a privileged class

00:16:36.700 --> 00:16:38.139
 of religious elites.

00:16:39.580 --> 00:16:40.660
 But the result

00:16:40.660 --> 00:16:42.040
 is likewise disappointing.

00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:43.519
 The Levite did get

00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:44.420
 a little closer

00:16:44.420 --> 00:16:45.920
 than the priest.

00:16:46.100 --> 00:16:47.060
 It says that he came

00:16:47.060 --> 00:16:48.060
 to the place

00:16:48.060 --> 00:16:50.139
 and saw him

00:16:50.139 --> 00:16:51.700
 but just like the priest

00:16:51.700 --> 00:16:52.360
 he passed by

00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:53.500
 on the other side.

00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:55.740
 And at verse 32

00:16:55.740 --> 00:16:56.580
 comes the twist

00:16:56.580 --> 00:16:57.120
 of the story.

00:16:57.580 --> 00:16:59.220
 After the Jewish priest

00:16:59.220 --> 00:17:00.860
 then a Jewish Levite

00:17:00.860 --> 00:17:01.900
 you would expect

00:17:01.900 --> 00:17:03.139
 simply a Jew

00:17:03.139 --> 00:17:05.279
 a Jewish lay person.

00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:07.200
 You'd expect

00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:09.340
 kind of an anti-clergy story

00:17:09.340 --> 00:17:11.579
 where a priest

00:17:11.579 --> 00:17:12.120
 and a Levite

00:17:12.120 --> 00:17:12.660
 had failed

00:17:12.660 --> 00:17:14.039
 but this common

00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:15.640
 faithful Jewish man

00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:16.160
 comes by

00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:17.240
 and does the right thing.

00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:18.039
 You see

00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:18.660
 it's not about

00:17:18.660 --> 00:17:19.460
 your titles.

00:17:19.740 --> 00:17:20.160
 It's about

00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:21.160
 being faithful.

00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:22.279
 That's the story

00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:22.940
 you would expect.

00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:24.380
 But instead

00:17:24.380 --> 00:17:25.340
 it says

00:17:25.339 --> 00:17:26.359
 a Samaritan.

00:17:27.959 --> 00:17:28.579
 In the Greek

00:17:28.579 --> 00:17:29.799
 the word Samaritan

00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:31.119
 is awkwardly placed

00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:32.319
 as the very first word

00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:32.959
 of the sentence

00:17:32.959 --> 00:17:34.159
 unlike the words

00:17:34.159 --> 00:17:35.819
 priest and Levite

00:17:35.819 --> 00:17:36.220
 earlier

00:17:36.220 --> 00:17:37.019
 in the earlier

00:17:37.019 --> 00:17:37.759
 preceding verses.

00:17:38.679 --> 00:17:39.959
 It's fronted there

00:17:39.959 --> 00:17:40.839
 for emphasis

00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:42.299
 for shock value.

00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:43.859
 This wasn't the case

00:17:43.859 --> 00:17:44.220
 earlier

00:17:44.220 --> 00:17:44.899
 but now

00:17:44.899 --> 00:17:46.459
 after the priest

00:17:46.459 --> 00:17:47.000
 goes by

00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:47.639
 on the other side

00:17:47.639 --> 00:17:48.039
 the Levite

00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:48.659
 goes by on the other side

00:17:48.659 --> 00:17:49.379
 they both

00:17:49.379 --> 00:17:49.720
 it says

00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:50.959
 they saw the man

00:17:50.959 --> 00:17:51.579
 and then they

00:17:51.579 --> 00:17:52.159
 walked by

00:17:52.159 --> 00:17:53.000
 on the other side

00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:55.160
 but a Samaritan

00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:58.319
 what is a Samaritan

00:17:58.319 --> 00:17:58.900
 doing in this

00:17:58.900 --> 00:18:00.180
 Jewish parable?

00:18:00.460 --> 00:18:01.119
 I mentioned

00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:01.599
 last week

00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:02.019
 briefly

00:18:02.019 --> 00:18:02.779
 that we know

00:18:02.779 --> 00:18:03.460
 from the gospel

00:18:03.460 --> 00:18:03.839
 of John

00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:04.440
 that there was

00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:05.539
 really bad blood

00:18:05.539 --> 00:18:06.059
 in history

00:18:06.059 --> 00:18:07.180
 between Jews

00:18:07.180 --> 00:18:08.220
 and the Samaritans.

00:18:08.619 --> 00:18:09.220
 The Samaritans

00:18:09.220 --> 00:18:10.240
 were a mixed race

00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:11.039
 of Jews

00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:12.640
 and Gentiles

00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:13.460
 they were half

00:18:13.460 --> 00:18:14.500
 half breeds

00:18:14.500 --> 00:18:15.539
 as Jews would call them.

00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:16.920
 Instead of worshipping

00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:17.819
 at Mount Zion

00:18:17.819 --> 00:18:18.839
 in Jerusalem

00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:19.920
 they argued

00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:20.880
 that true worship

00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:21.599
 should be held

00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:22.740
 at Mount Gerizim

00:18:22.740 --> 00:18:23.359
 in Shechem.

00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:25.539
 For these reasons

00:18:25.539 --> 00:18:26.599
 Jews not only

00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:27.539
 viewed

00:18:27.539 --> 00:18:29.019
 these Samaritans

00:18:29.019 --> 00:18:30.199
 as ethnic

00:18:30.199 --> 00:18:30.939
 half breeds

00:18:30.939 --> 00:18:32.500
 they also saw them

00:18:32.500 --> 00:18:33.480
 as religious

00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:34.379
 heretics

00:18:34.379 --> 00:18:36.359
 their deviants.

00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:40.159
 So this is the point

00:18:40.159 --> 00:18:41.139
 where you would expect

00:18:41.139 --> 00:18:42.119
 the hero of the story

00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:42.519
 to come

00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:43.079
 and resolve

00:18:43.079 --> 00:18:43.659
 the tension

00:18:43.659 --> 00:18:44.639
 that's been building up

00:18:44.639 --> 00:18:45.319
 but out comes

00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:46.139
 a Samaritan

00:18:46.139 --> 00:18:48.339
 and the Samaritan

00:18:48.339 --> 00:18:49.879
 goes the full lengths

00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:51.920
 to care for this dying man.

00:18:53.300 --> 00:18:53.860
 It was said

00:18:53.860 --> 00:18:54.960
 of both the priest

00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:55.740
 and Levi

00:18:55.740 --> 00:18:56.880
 that they had seen him

00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:57.700
 but they passed by

00:18:57.700 --> 00:18:58.740
 but the Samaritan

00:18:58.740 --> 00:18:59.720
 when he sees the man

00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:01.020
 it says he had compassion.

00:19:02.080 --> 00:19:02.860
 He went to him

00:19:02.860 --> 00:19:03.900
 and bound up his wounds

00:19:03.900 --> 00:19:04.980
 pouring on oil

00:19:04.980 --> 00:19:05.600
 and wine.

00:19:06.280 --> 00:19:06.980
 Then he set him

00:19:06.980 --> 00:19:07.960
 on his own animal

00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:08.620
 and brought him

00:19:08.620 --> 00:19:09.200
 to an inn

00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:10.480
 and took care of him.

00:19:11.020 --> 00:19:12.040
 So it's unclear

00:19:12.040 --> 00:19:12.980
 what kind of cloth

00:19:12.980 --> 00:19:13.520
 he would have had

00:19:13.520 --> 00:19:14.960
 available to bandage

00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:15.960
 this man's wound.

00:19:16.420 --> 00:19:17.860
 He had to use

00:19:17.859 --> 00:19:19.379
 some from his own cloak

00:19:19.379 --> 00:19:20.879
 or maybe the turban

00:19:20.879 --> 00:19:22.959
 or a piece of

00:19:22.959 --> 00:19:24.199
 the linen undergarment

00:19:24.199 --> 00:19:25.059
 to bind up the wounds.

00:19:25.399 --> 00:19:26.199
 He does that

00:19:26.199 --> 00:19:26.979
 but as he does that

00:19:26.979 --> 00:19:28.240
 he also treats the wound.

00:19:28.679 --> 00:19:30.159
 He uses his own supplies.

00:19:30.299 --> 00:19:31.139
 He uses the oil

00:19:31.139 --> 00:19:32.179
 to soothe the wound.

00:19:32.539 --> 00:19:33.959
 He uses the alcohol

00:19:33.959 --> 00:19:34.459
 the wine

00:19:34.459 --> 00:19:35.500
 to disinfect it.

00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:37.699
 And the oil and wine

00:19:37.699 --> 00:19:38.959
 would have been

00:19:38.959 --> 00:19:40.500
 his own provisions

00:19:40.500 --> 00:19:41.179
 for travel

00:19:41.179 --> 00:19:42.319
 but yet he gives it up

00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:44.519
 in order to serve this man.

00:19:45.439 --> 00:19:45.879
 And then

00:19:45.879 --> 00:19:46.500
 since the man

00:19:46.500 --> 00:19:47.619
 is in no shape to walk

00:19:47.619 --> 00:19:48.539
 he comes down

00:19:48.539 --> 00:19:49.539
 his own animal

00:19:49.539 --> 00:19:50.579
 probably a mule

00:19:50.579 --> 00:19:51.599
 which means

00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:52.619
 he would have to walk

00:19:52.619 --> 00:19:53.479
 the rest of the way

00:19:53.479 --> 00:19:54.879
 and then he brings

00:19:54.879 --> 00:19:56.279
 this wounded man

00:19:56.279 --> 00:19:56.919
 to an inn

00:19:56.919 --> 00:19:57.719
 and continues

00:19:57.719 --> 00:19:58.779
 to take care of him.

00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:01.039
 As if that weren't enough

00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:03.959
 most people would have

00:20:03.959 --> 00:20:05.239
 could have left

00:20:05.239 --> 00:20:05.819
 the man there

00:20:05.819 --> 00:20:06.279
 and left

00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:08.139
 and gone his way

00:20:08.139 --> 00:20:08.899
 and never come back

00:20:08.899 --> 00:20:09.519
 and people would have

00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:10.279
 still praised him

00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:11.659
 for being a good Samaritan.

00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:12.759
 But he doesn't

00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:13.439
 stop there.

00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:14.539
 He says in verse 35

00:20:14.539 --> 00:20:15.639
 the next day

00:20:15.639 --> 00:20:16.299
 he stays overnight

00:20:16.299 --> 00:20:17.480
 the next day

00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:18.039
 he took out

00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:18.759
 two denarii

00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:19.339
 and gave them

00:20:19.339 --> 00:20:20.180
 to the innkeeper

00:20:20.180 --> 00:20:20.559
 saying

00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:21.740
 take care of him

00:20:21.740 --> 00:20:22.700
 and whatever more

00:20:22.700 --> 00:20:23.220
 you spend

00:20:23.220 --> 00:20:24.259
 I will repay you

00:20:24.259 --> 00:20:25.119
 when I come back.

00:20:25.659 --> 00:20:26.839
 Since the wounded man

00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:27.619
 had just been robbed

00:20:27.619 --> 00:20:28.259
 he has no money

00:20:28.259 --> 00:20:29.099
 to pay his way.

00:20:30.460 --> 00:20:31.720
 And so the Samaritan

00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:32.559
 seeing that

00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:33.220
 the innkeeper

00:20:33.220 --> 00:20:34.200
 would be reluctant

00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:35.740
 to care for a man

00:20:35.740 --> 00:20:37.039
 who can't pay

00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:37.879
 for his stay

00:20:37.879 --> 00:20:38.839
 he pays

00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:39.839
 two denarii

00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:40.680
 up front

00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:42.139
 that's the equivalent

00:20:42.139 --> 00:20:43.399
 of two days worth

00:20:43.399 --> 00:20:44.019
 of wages

00:20:44.019 --> 00:20:45.039
 full days worth

00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:45.460
 of wages

00:20:45.460 --> 00:20:46.379
 which would have

00:20:46.379 --> 00:20:46.759
 been enough

00:20:46.759 --> 00:20:47.599
 to pay for about

00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:48.599
 24 days

00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:49.920
 at this kind of inn

00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:51.279
 in this day and age.

00:20:52.139 --> 00:20:53.039
 But even that's not

00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:54.039
 the limit of this

00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:55.839
 Samaritan's generosity

00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:56.500
 and hospitality

00:20:56.500 --> 00:20:57.579
 he assures

00:20:57.579 --> 00:20:58.180
 the innkeeper

00:20:58.180 --> 00:20:59.019
 in verse 35

00:20:59.019 --> 00:21:00.480
 take care of him

00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:01.579
 and whatever more

00:21:01.579 --> 00:21:02.200
 you spend

00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:03.599
 I will repay you

00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:04.539
 when I come back.

00:21:05.399 --> 00:21:06.139
 Please don't

00:21:06.139 --> 00:21:07.180
 discontinue your care

00:21:07.180 --> 00:21:07.720
 for this man

00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:09.519
 and if I don't return

00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:10.379
 before the money

00:21:10.379 --> 00:21:10.920
 I paid you

00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:11.559
 runs out

00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:12.639
 be assured

00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:13.880
 that I will return

00:21:13.880 --> 00:21:15.060
 don't expect

00:21:15.060 --> 00:21:15.940
 anything from him

00:21:15.940 --> 00:21:16.840
 I will guarantee

00:21:16.840 --> 00:21:17.580
 your compensation

00:21:17.580 --> 00:21:18.180
 personally

00:21:18.180 --> 00:21:19.100
 take nothing

00:21:19.100 --> 00:21:19.660
 from him

00:21:19.660 --> 00:21:20.380
 take everything

00:21:20.380 --> 00:21:21.040
 from me.

00:21:22.860 --> 00:21:24.240
 And after that

00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:25.100
 shocking twist

00:21:25.100 --> 00:21:25.700
 to the story

00:21:25.700 --> 00:21:27.620
 Jesus asks

00:21:27.620 --> 00:21:28.340
 a very pointed

00:21:28.340 --> 00:21:28.860
 question

00:21:28.860 --> 00:21:29.920
 verse 36

00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:31.860
 which of these

00:21:31.860 --> 00:21:32.280
 three

00:21:32.280 --> 00:21:33.460
 do you think

00:21:33.460 --> 00:21:35.680
 proved to be

00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:36.340
 a neighbor

00:21:36.340 --> 00:21:38.140
 to the man

00:21:38.140 --> 00:21:38.580
 who fell

00:21:38.580 --> 00:21:39.400
 among the robbers

00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:42.460
 and the proud

00:21:42.460 --> 00:21:43.940
 Jewish lawyer

00:21:43.940 --> 00:21:46.080
 can't bring himself

00:21:46.080 --> 00:21:47.460
 to say the word

00:21:47.460 --> 00:21:48.920
 Samaritan.

00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:52.700
 He replies

00:21:52.700 --> 00:21:53.720
 in a roundabout way

00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:55.019
 verse 37

00:21:55.019 --> 00:21:57.140
 that the one

00:21:57.140 --> 00:21:58.100
 who showed him

00:21:58.100 --> 00:21:58.500
 mercy

00:21:58.500 --> 00:22:02.200
 and Jesus said

00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:02.540
 to him

00:22:02.540 --> 00:22:02.940
 you

00:22:02.940 --> 00:22:04.440
 go

00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:06.060
 and do

00:22:06.060 --> 00:22:07.480
 likewise.

00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:09.259
 verse 37

00:22:09.259 --> 00:22:10.120
 can be translated

00:22:10.120 --> 00:22:10.920
 more literally

00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:11.420
 this way

00:22:11.420 --> 00:22:11.980
 the one

00:22:11.980 --> 00:22:12.940
 who did

00:22:12.940 --> 00:22:13.440
 mercy

00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:14.360
 it's the same

00:22:14.360 --> 00:22:14.640
 word

00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:15.019
 the word

00:22:15.019 --> 00:22:15.380
 do

00:22:15.380 --> 00:22:16.220
 the one

00:22:16.220 --> 00:22:16.839
 who did

00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:17.240
 mercy

00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:17.620
 and Jesus

00:22:17.620 --> 00:22:18.039
 said to him

00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:18.519
 you go

00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:19.079
 and do

00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:19.819
 likewise

00:22:19.819 --> 00:22:20.180
 there's an

00:22:20.180 --> 00:22:20.980
 emphasis

00:22:20.980 --> 00:22:21.680
 the repetition

00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:22.480
 of the idea

00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:23.120
 of doing

00:22:23.120 --> 00:22:24.000
 and Jesus

00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:24.640
 is driving

00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:25.700
 home a point

00:22:25.700 --> 00:22:26.579
 and notice

00:22:26.579 --> 00:22:27.460
 how masterfully

00:22:27.460 --> 00:22:28.220
 Jesus turns

00:22:28.220 --> 00:22:28.819
 the lawyer's

00:22:28.819 --> 00:22:29.940
 question around

00:22:29.940 --> 00:22:31.039
 because what

00:22:31.039 --> 00:22:31.680
 was the lawyer's

00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:32.539
 initial question

00:22:32.539 --> 00:22:33.400
 it was

00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:34.259
 who is my

00:22:34.259 --> 00:22:34.559
 neighbor

00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:37.119
 he wanted

00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:37.819
 to define

00:22:37.819 --> 00:22:38.339
 the terms

00:22:38.339 --> 00:22:39.179
 and delimit

00:22:39.179 --> 00:22:39.919
 the concept

00:22:39.919 --> 00:22:40.480
 of neighbor

00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:41.039
 so that he

00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:41.759
 can justify

00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:42.259
 himself

00:22:42.259 --> 00:22:42.659
 and say

00:22:42.659 --> 00:22:42.919
 that he

00:22:42.919 --> 00:22:43.399
 performed

00:22:43.399 --> 00:22:44.000
 his minimal

00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:44.460
 duty

00:22:44.460 --> 00:22:45.399
 but Jesus

00:22:45.399 --> 00:22:46.179
 shifts the

00:22:46.179 --> 00:22:46.599
 focus

00:22:46.599 --> 00:22:48.220
 from defining

00:22:48.220 --> 00:22:49.579
 who it is

00:22:49.579 --> 00:22:50.519
 to doing

00:22:50.519 --> 00:22:52.099
 the word

00:22:52.099 --> 00:22:52.639
 do has come

00:22:52.639 --> 00:22:53.119
 up twice

00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:53.440
 already

00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:54.079
 in verse

00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:54.659
 25

00:22:54.659 --> 00:22:55.019
 the lawyer

00:22:55.019 --> 00:22:55.259
 asked

00:22:55.259 --> 00:22:55.779
 what shall

00:22:55.779 --> 00:22:56.379
 I do

00:22:56.379 --> 00:22:56.960
 to inherit

00:22:56.960 --> 00:22:57.299
 eternal

00:22:57.299 --> 00:22:57.720
 life

00:22:57.720 --> 00:22:58.519
 and Jesus

00:22:58.519 --> 00:22:58.859
 said in

00:22:58.859 --> 00:22:59.460
 verse 28

00:22:59.460 --> 00:22:59.799
 you have

00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:00.099
 answered

00:23:00.099 --> 00:23:00.639
 correctly

00:23:00.639 --> 00:23:01.500
 do this

00:23:01.500 --> 00:23:02.059
 and you

00:23:02.059 --> 00:23:02.519
 will live

00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:02.960
 and here

00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:03.500
 in verse

00:23:03.500 --> 00:23:03.980
 37

00:23:03.980 --> 00:23:04.319
 he says

00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:05.140
 follow the

00:23:05.140 --> 00:23:05.400
 one

00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:05.759
 example

00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:06.000
 of the

00:24:38.519 --> 00:24:39.139
 represents

00:24:39.139 --> 00:24:39.500
 God

00:24:39.500 --> 00:24:39.660

00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:44.619
 that's

00:24:44.619 --> 00:24:44.759

00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:23.759
 Jesus

00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:24.339
 repeatedly

00:25:24.339 --> 00:25:24.939
 pronounced

00:25:24.939 --> 00:25:25.479
 fearful

00:25:25.479 --> 00:25:25.979
 judgment

00:25:25.979 --> 00:25:26.539
 on

00:25:26.539 --> 00:25:26.959
 those

00:25:26.959 --> 00:25:27.359
 who

00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:28.199
 reject

00:25:28.199 --> 00:25:28.500
 him

00:25:28.500 --> 00:25:28.619

00:25:28.619 --> 00:25:28.740
 his

00:25:28.740 --> 00:25:29.099
 followers

00:25:29.099 --> 00:25:30.399
 he

00:25:30.399 --> 00:25:30.659
 taught

00:25:30.659 --> 00:25:30.819
 his

00:25:30.819 --> 00:25:31.199
 disciples

00:25:31.199 --> 00:25:31.679
 to

00:25:31.679 --> 00:25:32.000
 wipe

00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:32.359
 the

00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:32.740
 dust

00:25:32.740 --> 00:25:34.159
 off

00:25:34.159 --> 00:25:34.379
 their

00:25:34.379 --> 00:25:34.779
 feet

00:25:34.779 --> 00:25:35.279
 as

00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:35.419
 they

00:25:35.419 --> 00:25:35.839
 leave

00:25:35.839 --> 00:25:36.279
 towns

00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:36.539
 that

00:25:36.539 --> 00:25:36.939
 reject

00:25:36.939 --> 00:25:37.299
 them

00:25:37.299 --> 00:25:37.479
 and

00:25:37.479 --> 00:25:37.639
 their

00:25:37.639 --> 00:25:38.139
 message

00:25:38.139 --> 00:25:39.019
 as

00:25:39.019 --> 00:25:39.179
 a

00:25:39.179 --> 00:25:39.699
 sign

00:25:39.699 --> 00:25:40.379
 against

00:25:40.379 --> 00:25:40.539
 them

00:25:40.539 --> 00:25:40.679
 as

00:25:40.679 --> 00:25:40.819
 a

00:25:40.819 --> 00:25:41.299
 testimony

00:25:41.299 --> 00:25:41.740
 against

00:25:41.740 --> 00:25:41.939
 them

00:25:41.939 --> 00:25:42.139
 that

00:25:42.139 --> 00:25:42.359
 they

00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:42.740
 will

00:25:42.740 --> 00:25:43.059
 be

00:25:43.059 --> 00:25:43.639
 rejected

00:25:43.639 --> 00:25:44.219
 and

00:25:44.219 --> 00:25:44.619
 condemned

00:25:44.619 --> 00:25:44.919
 by

00:25:44.919 --> 00:25:45.339
 God

00:25:45.339 --> 00:25:45.719
 on

00:25:45.719 --> 00:25:46.059
 judgment

00:25:46.059 --> 00:25:46.379
 day

00:25:46.379 --> 00:25:46.799
 should

00:25:46.799 --> 00:25:46.959
 they

00:25:46.959 --> 00:25:47.479
 persist

00:25:47.479 --> 00:25:48.159
 in

00:25:48.159 --> 00:25:48.479
 their

00:25:48.479 --> 00:25:48.819
 stubborn

00:25:48.819 --> 00:25:49.259
 rejection

00:25:49.259 --> 00:25:49.500
 of

00:25:49.500 --> 00:25:49.879
 Christ

00:25:49.879 --> 00:25:51.759
 so

00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:51.939
 in

00:25:51.939 --> 00:25:52.199
 light

00:25:52.199 --> 00:25:52.339
 of

00:25:52.339 --> 00:25:52.559
 all

00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:52.939
 this

00:25:52.940 --> 00:25:53.259
 you

00:25:53.259 --> 00:25:53.400
 can

00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:53.580
 kind

00:25:53.580 --> 00:25:53.680
 of

00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:53.920
 see

00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:54.200
 why

00:25:54.200 --> 00:25:54.360
 the

00:25:54.360 --> 00:25:54.740
 disciples

00:25:54.740 --> 00:25:55.000
 might

00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:55.160
 have

00:25:55.160 --> 00:25:55.259
 a

00:25:55.259 --> 00:25:55.759
 misunderstanding

00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:56.740
 and

00:25:56.740 --> 00:25:56.880
 we

00:25:56.880 --> 00:25:57.100
 saw

00:25:57.100 --> 00:25:57.279
 their

00:25:57.279 --> 00:25:57.820
 misunderstanding

00:25:57.820 --> 00:25:58.920
 earlier

00:25:58.920 --> 00:25:59.279
 in chapter

00:25:59.279 --> 00:25:59.620
 9

00:25:59.620 --> 00:25:59.880
 verses

00:25:59.880 --> 00:26:00.340
 51

00:26:00.340 --> 00:26:00.519
 to

00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:00.940
 55

00:26:00.940 --> 00:26:01.279
 when

00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:01.420
 they

00:26:01.420 --> 00:26:01.740
 came

00:26:01.740 --> 00:26:02.000
 to

00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:02.340
 a

00:26:02.340 --> 00:26:03.180
 Samaritan

00:26:03.180 --> 00:26:03.680
 village

00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:04.759
 they're at

00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:05.279
 a Samaritan

00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:05.559
 village

00:26:05.559 --> 00:26:05.840
 and they

00:26:05.840 --> 00:26:06.259
 reject

00:26:06.259 --> 00:26:06.580
 them

00:26:06.580 --> 00:26:08.000
 and the

00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:08.380
 disciples

00:26:08.380 --> 00:26:08.759
 are

00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:09.940
 understandably

00:26:09.940 --> 00:26:10.380
 upset

00:26:10.380 --> 00:26:11.840
 and they

00:26:11.840 --> 00:26:12.220
 asked

00:26:12.220 --> 00:26:16.820
 and they

00:26:16.820 --> 00:26:18.880
 but

00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:19.400
 Jesus

00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:20.020
 rebuked

00:26:20.020 --> 00:26:20.280
 them

00:26:20.280 --> 00:26:21.000
 and

00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:21.220
 this

00:26:21.220 --> 00:26:21.520
 parable

00:26:21.520 --> 00:26:21.720
 of the

00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:21.880
 good

00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:22.240
 Samaritan

00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:22.800
 serves

00:26:22.800 --> 00:26:23.160
 as a

00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:23.700
 corrective

00:26:23.700 --> 00:26:23.840
 to

00:26:23.840 --> 00:26:24.140
 them

00:26:24.140 --> 00:26:25.080
 yes

00:26:25.080 --> 00:26:25.360
 those

00:26:25.360 --> 00:26:25.520
 who

00:26:25.520 --> 00:26:25.880
 reject

00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:26.340
 Christ

00:26:26.340 --> 00:26:26.560
 and

00:26:26.560 --> 00:26:26.780
 his

00:26:26.780 --> 00:26:27.260
 disciples

00:26:27.260 --> 00:26:27.720
 will

00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:28.220
 face

00:26:28.220 --> 00:26:28.820
 judgment

00:26:28.820 --> 00:26:29.440
 but

00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:29.760
 that

00:26:29.760 --> 00:26:29.980
 will

00:26:29.980 --> 00:26:30.240
 be

00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:30.500
 at

00:26:30.500 --> 00:26:30.860
 Jesus

00:26:30.860 --> 00:26:31.420
 second

00:26:31.420 --> 00:26:31.820
 coming

00:26:31.820 --> 00:26:32.020
 and

00:26:32.020 --> 00:26:32.240
 not

00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:32.440
 his

00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:32.880
 first

00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:33.220
 coming

00:26:33.220 --> 00:26:33.760
 and

00:26:33.760 --> 00:26:34.040
 Jesus

00:26:34.040 --> 00:26:34.400
 comes

00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:34.860
 first

00:26:34.860 --> 00:26:35.120
 in

00:26:35.120 --> 00:26:35.620
 grace

00:26:35.620 --> 00:26:35.840
 to

00:26:35.840 --> 00:26:36.180
 save

00:26:36.180 --> 00:26:36.580
 and

00:26:36.580 --> 00:26:36.720
 then

00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:36.820
 he

00:26:36.820 --> 00:26:36.920
 will

00:26:36.920 --> 00:26:37.100
 come

00:26:37.100 --> 00:26:37.400
 again

00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:37.600
 a

00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:37.859
 second

00:26:37.859 --> 00:26:38.179
 time

00:26:38.179 --> 00:26:38.359
 in

00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:38.699
 glory

00:26:38.699 --> 00:26:38.919
 to

00:26:38.919 --> 00:26:39.339
 judge

00:26:39.339 --> 00:26:39.740
 but

00:26:39.740 --> 00:26:39.899
 for

00:26:39.899 --> 00:26:40.179
 those

00:26:40.179 --> 00:26:40.339
 who

00:26:40.339 --> 00:26:40.619
 live

00:26:40.619 --> 00:26:41.059
 between

00:26:41.059 --> 00:26:41.319
 those

00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:41.500
 two

00:26:41.500 --> 00:26:41.779
 comings

00:26:41.779 --> 00:26:41.939
 we

00:26:41.939 --> 00:26:42.059
 are

00:26:42.059 --> 00:26:42.159
 to

00:26:42.159 --> 00:26:42.279
 be

00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:42.839
 messengers

00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:43.579
 not

00:26:43.579 --> 00:26:43.879
 of

00:26:43.879 --> 00:26:44.319
 bad

00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:44.579
 news

00:26:44.579 --> 00:26:44.719
 but

00:26:44.719 --> 00:26:44.839
 of

00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:44.980
 the

00:26:44.980 --> 00:26:45.339
 good

00:26:45.339 --> 00:26:45.740
 news

00:26:45.740 --> 00:26:45.959
 of

00:26:45.959 --> 00:26:46.240
 Jesus

00:26:46.240 --> 00:26:46.679
 Christ

00:26:46.679 --> 00:26:46.879
 the

00:26:46.879 --> 00:26:47.119
 message

00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:47.259
 of

00:26:47.259 --> 00:26:47.699
 salvation

00:26:47.699 --> 00:26:48.659
 so

00:26:48.659 --> 00:26:49.079
 yes

00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:49.319
 we

00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:49.419
 are

00:26:49.419 --> 00:26:49.539
 to

00:26:49.539 --> 00:26:49.799
 love

00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:49.980
 and

00:26:49.980 --> 00:26:50.179
 serve

00:26:50.179 --> 00:26:50.319
 our

00:26:50.319 --> 00:26:50.619
 brothers

00:26:50.619 --> 00:26:50.859
 and

00:26:50.859 --> 00:26:51.139
 sisters

00:26:51.139 --> 00:26:51.379
 in

00:26:51.379 --> 00:26:51.759
 Christ

00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:52.500
 as

00:26:52.500 --> 00:26:52.679
 if

00:26:52.679 --> 00:26:52.819
 we're

00:26:52.819 --> 00:26:53.159
 serving

00:26:53.159 --> 00:26:53.599
 Christ

00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:54.219
 himself

00:26:54.219 --> 00:26:55.259
 and

00:26:55.259 --> 00:26:55.419
 we

00:26:55.419 --> 00:26:55.579
 would

00:26:55.579 --> 00:26:56.139
 but

00:26:56.139 --> 00:26:56.579
 because

00:26:56.579 --> 00:26:57.299
 they

00:26:57.299 --> 00:26:57.719
 represent

00:26:57.719 --> 00:26:58.139
 Jesus

00:26:58.139 --> 00:26:58.659
 but

00:26:58.659 --> 00:26:58.899
 this

00:26:58.899 --> 00:26:59.099
 does

00:26:59.099 --> 00:26:59.359
 not

00:26:59.359 --> 00:26:59.599
 mean

00:26:59.599 --> 00:26:59.759
 that

00:26:59.759 --> 00:26:59.879
 we

00:26:59.879 --> 00:27:00.019
 are

00:27:00.019 --> 00:27:00.359
 not

00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:10.259
 to

00:27:10.259 --> 00:27:10.480
 make

00:27:10.480 --> 00:27:10.679
 this

00:27:10.679 --> 00:27:10.919
 point

00:27:10.919 --> 00:27:11.199
 Jesus

00:27:11.199 --> 00:27:11.980
 intentionally

00:27:11.980 --> 00:27:12.379
 uses

00:27:12.379 --> 00:27:12.639
 a

00:27:12.639 --> 00:27:13.059
 priest

00:27:13.059 --> 00:27:14.139
 and

 your

00:31:48.900 --> 00:31:49.640
 is

00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:49.980
 not

00:31:49.980 --> 00:31:50.380
 a

00:31:50.380 --> 00:31:50.700
 small

00:31:50.700 --> 00:31:51.100

00:31:51.099 --> 00:31:51.719
 many

00:31:52.059 --> 00:31:52.219
 have

00:31:52.219 --> 00:31:52.480
 done

00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:52.679
 it

00:31:52.679 --> 00:31:53.019
 some

00:31:53.019 --> 00:31:53.119
 of

00:31:53.119 --> 00:31:53.199
 you

00:31:53.199 --> 00:31:53.359
 guys

00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:53.539
 do

00:31:53.539 --> 00:31:53.779
 it

00:31:53.779 --> 00:31:54.839
 probably

00:31:54.839 --> 00:31:55.039
 a little

00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:55.240
 too

00:31:55.240 --> 00:31:55.659
 frequently

00:31:55.659 --> 00:31:59.480
 we

00:31:59.480 --> 00:31:59.619
 don't

00:31:59.619 --> 00:31:59.899
 know how

00:31:59.899 --> 00:32:00.500
 large a crowd

00:32:00.500 --> 00:32:00.859
 is here

00:32:00.859 --> 00:32:01.379
 but at

00:32:01.379 --> 00:32:01.699
 the very

00:32:01.699 --> 00:32:02.139
 least

00:32:02.139 --> 00:32:02.899
 we could

00:32:02.899 --> 00:32:03.259
 assume

00:32:03.259 --> 00:32:03.480
 that

00:32:03.480 --> 00:32:03.779
 Jesus

00:32:03.779 --> 00:32:04.199
 and his

00:32:06.119 --> 00:32:06.740
 were present

00:32:06.740 --> 00:32:07.359
 so that's

00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:07.659
 at least

00:32:07.659 --> 00:32:08.039
 13

00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:14.139
 before

00:32:15.099 --> 00:32:15.219
 a

00:32:21.940 --> 00:32:22.160
 minor

00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:22.620
 miracle

00:32:22.620 --> 00:32:24.059
 he said

00:32:24.059 --> 00:32:25.360
 a good

00:32:25.360 --> 00:32:25.819
 cook can

00:32:25.819 --> 00:32:26.059
 take

00:32:26.059 --> 00:32:26.559
 cold

00:32:26.559 --> 00:32:26.980
 food

00:32:26.980 --> 00:32:27.660
 and get

00:32:27.660 --> 00:32:27.960

00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:28.140
 the

00:32:28.140 --> 00:32:28.660
 refrigerator

00:32:28.660 --> 00:32:29.279
 at one

00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:29.700
 time

00:32:29.700 --> 00:32:30.759
 the hot

00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:31.079
 food

00:32:31.079 --> 00:32:31.400
 in the

00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:31.740
 stove

00:32:31.740 --> 00:32:32.279
 at another

00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:32.740
 time

00:32:32.740 --> 00:32:33.299
 and it

00:32:33.299 --> 00:32:33.799
 all comes

00:32:33.799 --> 00:32:34.200
 out at

00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:34.740
 the same

00:32:34.740 --> 00:32:35.120
 time

00:32:35.120 --> 00:32:35.779
 and everybody

00:32:35.779 --> 00:32:36.579
 has a

00:32:36.579 --> 00:32:36.819
 good

00:32:36.819 --> 00:32:37.240
 time

00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:38.340
 isn't that

00:32:38.340 --> 00:32:38.700
 amazing

00:32:38.700 --> 00:32:40.519
 but it

00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:40.840
 doesn't

00:32:40.840 --> 00:32:41.279
 always go

00:32:41.279 --> 00:32:41.440
 that

00:32:41.440 --> 00:32:41.819
 smoothly

00:32:41.819 --> 00:32:43.420
 some

00:32:43.420 --> 00:32:43.539
 of you

00:32:43.539 --> 00:32:43.640
 have

00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:43.860
 also

00:32:43.860 --> 00:32:44.660
 experienced

00:32:44.660 --> 00:32:45.440
 how

00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:45.819
 hard

00:32:45.819 --> 00:32:46.080
 it is

00:32:46.080 --> 00:32:46.200
 to

00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:46.420
 juggle

00:32:46.420 --> 00:32:46.779
 several

00:32:46.779 --> 00:32:47.319
 things

00:32:47.319 --> 00:32:49.539
 at once

00:32:49.539 --> 00:32:50.360
 in the

00:32:50.360 --> 00:32:50.680
 kitchen

00:32:50.680 --> 00:32:51.220
 by

00:32:51.220 --> 00:32:51.640
 yourself

00:32:51.640 --> 00:32:53.220
 oh no

00:32:53.220 --> 00:32:53.720
 the dough

00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:54.400
 is rising

00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:54.840
 a little

00:32:54.840 --> 00:32:55.340
 too much

00:32:55.340 --> 00:32:56.759
 that

00:32:56.759 --> 00:32:57.819
 that meat

00:32:57.819 --> 00:32:58.500
 is burning

00:32:58.500 --> 00:32:59.100
 in the

00:32:59.100 --> 00:32:59.440
 fire

00:32:59.440 --> 00:33:00.860
 that soup

00:33:00.860 --> 00:33:01.680
 is boiling

00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:02.080
 over

00:33:02.080 --> 00:33:03.140
 and you're

00:33:03.140 --> 00:33:03.940
 scurrying over

00:33:03.940 --> 00:33:04.559
 in a hurry

00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:05.200
 and trying to

00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:05.819
 take a plate

00:33:05.819 --> 00:33:06.279
 and then you

00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:06.840
 drop it of

00:33:06.840 --> 00:33:07.019
 course

00:33:07.019 --> 00:33:07.299
 because you're

00:33:07.299 --> 00:33:07.559
 in a hurry

00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:07.799
 and it

00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:08.139
 shatters

00:33:08.139 --> 00:33:08.400
 on the

00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:08.720
 ground

00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:09.420
 and you're

00:33:09.420 --> 00:33:10.039
 starting to

00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:10.660
 feel a little

00:33:10.660 --> 00:33:10.900
 bit

00:33:10.900 --> 00:33:11.519
 overwhelmed

00:33:11.519 --> 00:33:16.639
 Martha was

00:33:16.639 --> 00:33:17.019
 having one

00:33:17.019 --> 00:33:17.240
 of those

00:33:17.240 --> 00:33:17.579
 days

00:33:17.579 --> 00:33:19.379
 she's

00:33:19.379 --> 00:33:19.940
 overwhelmed

00:33:19.940 --> 00:33:20.420
 she's

00:33:20.420 --> 00:33:20.940
 distracted

00:33:20.940 --> 00:33:23.099
 and she

00:33:23.099 --> 00:33:23.519
 remembers

00:33:23.519 --> 00:33:23.980
 wait I

00:33:23.980 --> 00:33:24.319
 have a

00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:24.740
 sister

00:33:24.740 --> 00:33:26.839
 Mary

00:33:26.839 --> 00:33:29.519
 Mary

00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:29.759
 doesn't

00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:30.259
 respond

00:33:30.259 --> 00:33:31.779
 so she

00:33:31.779 --> 00:33:32.299
 sneaks over

00:33:32.299 --> 00:33:32.579
 to the

00:33:32.579 --> 00:33:33.059
 living room

00:33:33.059 --> 00:33:34.220
 takes a

00:33:34.220 --> 00:33:34.539
 peek

00:33:34.539 --> 00:33:35.940
 and behold

00:33:35.940 --> 00:33:38.920
 you should

00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:39.500
 be here

00:33:39.500 --> 00:33:42.059
 this is

00:33:42.059 --> 00:33:42.660
 your place

00:33:42.660 --> 00:33:43.500
 where she's

00:33:43.500 --> 00:33:43.799
 sitting

00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:44.860
 at the

00:33:44.860 --> 00:33:45.220
 feet

00:33:45.220 --> 00:33:45.940
 of the

00:33:45.940 --> 00:33:46.140
 Lord

00:33:46.140 --> 00:33:46.620
 Jesus

00:33:46.620 --> 00:33:50.000
 listening

00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:50.580
 to him

00:33:50.580 --> 00:33:52.000
 Martha

00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:52.680
 is slaving

00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:53.000
 away in

00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:53.320
 the kitchen

00:33:53.320 --> 00:33:53.740
 and here's

00:33:53.740 --> 00:33:54.320
 Mary just

00:33:54.320 --> 00:33:54.840
 sitting

00:33:54.840 --> 00:33:56.880
 doing

00:33:56.880 --> 00:33:57.480
 nothing

00:33:57.480 --> 00:33:59.940
 to make

00:33:59.940 --> 00:34:00.580
 this party

00:34:00.580 --> 00:34:00.980
 happen

00:34:00.980 --> 00:34:03.779
 and so

00:34:03.779 --> 00:34:04.519
 Mary is

00:34:04.519 --> 00:34:05.220
 indignant

00:34:05.220 --> 00:34:06.480
 she loses

00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:06.980
 it when

00:34:06.980 --> 00:34:07.500
 she sees

00:34:07.500 --> 00:34:07.819
 Mary

00:34:07.819 --> 00:34:08.639
 notice she

00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:09.039
 doesn't even

00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:09.599
 go to

00:34:09.599 --> 00:34:10.139
 Mary

00:34:10.139 --> 00:34:11.059
 discreetly

00:34:11.059 --> 00:34:11.219
 and be

00:34:11.219 --> 00:34:11.460
 like hey

00:34:11.460 --> 00:34:11.780
 Mary can

00:34:11.780 --> 00:34:11.960
 you come

00:34:11.960 --> 00:34:12.260
 over here

00:34:12.260 --> 00:34:12.679
 and she

00:34:12.679 --> 00:34:13.380
 goes straight

00:34:13.380 --> 00:34:14.139
 to Jesus

00:34:14.139 --> 00:34:16.340
 right up

00:34:16.340 --> 00:34:16.639
 to him

00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:16.880
 and she

00:34:16.880 --> 00:34:17.360
 says this

00:34:17.360 --> 00:34:17.840
 to Jesus

00:34:17.840 --> 00:34:18.300
 Lord

00:34:18.300 --> 00:34:19.300
 do you

00:34:19.300 --> 00:34:20.219
 not care

00:34:20.219 --> 00:34:21.219
 that my

00:34:21.219 --> 00:34:21.940
 sister has

00:34:21.940 --> 00:34:22.740
 left me

00:34:22.740 --> 00:34:23.539
 to serve

00:34:23.539 --> 00:34:24.059
 alone

00:34:24.059 --> 00:34:26.119
 tell her

00:34:26.119 --> 00:34:26.960
 then to

00:34:26.960 --> 00:34:27.440
 help

00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:28.219
 me

00:34:28.219 --> 00:34:29.199
 do you

00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:29.480
 feel

00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:30.159
 Martha's

00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:30.739
 frustration

00:34:30.739 --> 00:34:31.099
 here

00:34:31.099 --> 00:34:31.779
 because I

00:34:31.779 --> 00:34:32.059
 do

00:34:32.059 --> 00:34:33.739
 I have

00:34:33.739 --> 00:34:34.019
 a lot

00:34:34.019 --> 00:34:34.459
 of sympathy

00:34:34.459 --> 00:34:35.059
 for Martha

00:34:35.059 --> 00:34:38.399
 I think

00:34:38.399 --> 00:34:38.779
 many of

00:34:38.779 --> 00:34:39.099
 you do

00:34:39.099 --> 00:34:39.359
 too

00:34:39.359 --> 00:34:39.739
 I think

00:34:39.739 --> 00:34:40.119
 Cambridge

00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:40.399
 is a

00:34:40.399 --> 00:34:40.559
 city

00:34:40.559 --> 00:34:40.959
 full of

00:34:40.959 --> 00:34:41.699
 Martha's

00:34:41.699 --> 00:34:45.359
 I'm

00:34:45.359 --> 00:34:45.639
 one of

00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:45.859
 them

00:34:45.859 --> 00:34:47.079
 there's

00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:47.619
 no doubt

00:34:47.619 --> 00:34:48.219
 that Martha

00:34:48.219 --> 00:34:49.000
 felt that

00:34:49.000 --> 00:34:49.399
 Jesus

00:34:49.399 --> 00:34:50.119
 would be

00:34:50.119 --> 00:34:50.619
 sympathetic

00:34:50.619 --> 00:34:51.199
 to her

00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:51.679
 concern

00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:52.379
 don't you

00:34:52.379 --> 00:34:52.679
 care

00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:53.119
 Jesus

00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:54.179
 she knew

00:34:54.179 --> 00:34:54.539
 Jesus

00:34:54.539 --> 00:34:55.039
 cared for

00:34:55.039 --> 00:34:55.279
 her

00:34:55.279 --> 00:34:56.019
 so she

00:34:56.019 --> 00:34:56.339
 asked

00:34:56.339 --> 00:34:56.619
 Jesus

00:34:56.619 --> 00:34:57.039
 to send

00:34:57.039 --> 00:34:57.299
 Mary

00:34:57.299 --> 00:34:57.719
 back to

00:34:57.719 --> 00:34:57.839
 the

00:34:57.839 --> 00:34:58.039
 kitchen

00:34:58.039 --> 00:34:58.460
 to help

00:34:58.460 --> 00:34:58.579
 her

00:34:58.579 --> 00:34:58.840
 fully

00:34:58.840 --> 00:34:59.279
 expecting

00:34:59.279 --> 00:34:59.619
 that

00:34:59.619 --> 00:35:00.059
 Mary

00:35:00.059 --> 00:35:00.380
 would

00:35:00.380 --> 00:35:01.259
 listen

00:35:01.259 --> 00:35:01.420
 to

00:35:01.420 --> 00:35:01.840
 Jesus

00:35:01.840 --> 00:35:02.719
 but

00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:03.019
 Jesus

00:35:03.019 --> 00:35:03.559
 answer

00:35:03.559 --> 00:35:03.960
 is as

00:35:03.960 --> 00:35:04.440
 firm

00:35:04.440 --> 00:35:04.759
 as it

00:35:04.759 --> 00:35:04.920
 is

00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:05.380
 gracious

00:35:05.380 --> 00:35:06.139
 he

00:35:06.139 --> 00:35:06.320
 says

00:35:06.320 --> 00:35:06.460
 in

00:35:06.460 --> 00:35:06.679
 verses

00:35:06.679 --> 00:35:07.219
 41

00:35:07.219 --> 00:35:07.440
 to

00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:07.940
 42

00:35:07.940 --> 00:35:08.579
 Martha

00:35:08.579 --> 00:35:09.699
 Martha

00:35:09.699 --> 00:35:10.579
 you

00:35:10.579 --> 00:35:10.779
 are

00:35:10.779 --> 00:35:11.159
 anxious

 thing

00:35:15.059 --> 00:35:15.320
 is

00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:15.900
 necessary

00:35:15.900 --> 00:35:17.279
 Mary

 has

00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:17.860
 chosen

00:35:17.860 --> 00:35:18.079
 the

00:35:18.079 --> 00:35:18.340

00:35:18.340 --> 00:35:18.800
 portion

00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:19.480
 which

00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:19.699
 will

00:35:19.699 --> 00:35:20.099
 not

00:35:20.420 --> 00:35:20.880
 taken

00:35:20.880 --> 00:35:21.300
 away

00:35:21.300 --> 00:35:21.759
 from

00:35:21.759 --> 00:35:22.059
 her

00:35:26.599 --> 00:35:27.659
 Martha

00:35:27.659 --> 00:35:28.359
 it

00:35:28.359 --> 00:35:29.039

00:35:29.039 --> 00:35:30.039
 earnestness

00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:30.539
 and it

00:35:30.539 --> 00:35:31.199
 communicates

00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:31.920
 emotion

00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:33.399
 Jesus

00:35:33.399 --> 00:35:33.759
 is not

00:35:33.759 --> 00:35:33.980
 just

00:35:33.980 --> 00:35:34.460
 coldly

00:35:34.460 --> 00:35:35.000
 rebuking

00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:35.579

00:35:35.579 --> 00:35:35.899
 her

00:35:35.899 --> 00:35:36.579
 this is

00:35:36.579 --> 00:35:37.480
 a protection

00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:38.019

00:35:38.019 --> 00:35:38.420
 yes

00:35:38.420 --> 00:35:39.099
 but it's

00:35:39.099 --> 00:35:39.539
 also an

00:35:39.539 --> 00:35:40.119
 invitation

00:35:40.119 --> 00:35:40.480
 to

00:38:44.159 --> 00:38:44.400
 God

00:38:44.400 --> 00:38:44.579
 and

00:38:44.579 --> 00:38:45.079
 here's

00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:45.739
 how

00:38:45.739 --> 00:38:46.039
 those

00:38:46.039 --> 00:38:46.199
 two

00:38:46.199 --> 00:38:46.440
 work

00:38:46.440 --> 00:38:46.739
 together

00:38:46.739 --> 00:38:47.079
 because

00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:47.739
 loving

00:38:47.739 --> 00:38:48.059
 God

00:38:48.059 --> 00:38:48.239
 with

00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:48.380
 our

00:38:48.380 --> 00:38:48.619
 whole

00:38:48.619 --> 00:38:49.160
 selves

00:38:49.160 --> 00:38:49.680
 is

00:38:49.680 --> 00:38:49.820
 an

00:38:49.820 --> 00:38:50.500
 expression

00:38:50.500 --> 00:38:51.039
 of

00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:51.420
 and

00:38:51.420 --> 00:38:51.579
 it's

00:38:51.579 --> 00:38:51.700
 an

00:38:51.700 --> 00:38:52.460
 entailment

00:38:52.460 --> 00:38:52.780
 of

00:38:52.780 --> 00:38:53.500
 listening

00:38:53.500 --> 00:38:53.720
 to

00:38:53.720 --> 00:38:54.079
 Jesus

00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:54.960
 and

00:38:54.960 --> 00:38:55.380
 following

00:38:55.380 --> 00:38:55.720
 him

00:38:55.720 --> 00:38:58.920
 that's

00:38:58.920 --> 00:38:59.019
 why

00:38:59.019 --> 00:38:59.360
 1st

00:38:59.360 --> 00:38:59.539
 John

00:38:59.539 --> 00:38:59.860
 4

00:38:59.860 --> 00:39:00.260
 15

00:39:00.260 --> 00:39:00.720
 16

00:39:00.720 --> 00:39:01.680
 compares

00:39:01.680 --> 00:39:01.860
 them

00:39:01.860 --> 00:39:02.039
 this

00:39:02.039 --> 00:39:02.180
 way

00:39:02.180 --> 00:39:02.519
 whoever

00:39:02.519 --> 00:39:03.820
 confesses

00:39:03.820 --> 00:39:04.059
 that

00:39:04.059 --> 00:39:04.400
 Jesus

00:39:04.400 --> 00:39:04.780
 is

00:39:04.780 --> 00:39:04.980
 the

00:39:04.980 --> 00:39:05.140
 son

00:39:05.140 --> 00:39:05.300
 of

00:39:05.300 --> 00:39:05.640
 God

00:39:05.640 --> 00:39:06.380
 God

00:39:06.380 --> 00:39:06.840
 abides

00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:06.980
 in

00:39:06.980 --> 00:39:07.260
 him

00:39:07.260 --> 00:39:07.840
 and

00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:08.059
 he

00:39:08.059 --> 00:39:08.240
 in

00:39:08.240 --> 00:39:08.480
 God

00:39:08.480 --> 00:39:09.840
 so

00:39:09.840 --> 00:39:10.000
 we

00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:10.099
 have

00:39:10.099 --> 00:39:10.260
 come

00:39:10.260 --> 00:39:10.420
 to

00:39:10.420 --> 00:39:10.680
 know

00:39:10.680 --> 00:39:10.840
 and

00:39:10.840 --> 00:39:10.960
 to

00:39:10.960 --> 00:39:11.240
 believe

00:39:11.240 --> 00:39:11.420
 the

00:39:11.420 --> 00:39:11.760
 love

00:39:11.760 --> 00:39:11.960
 that

00:39:11.960 --> 00:39:12.160
 God

00:39:12.160 --> 00:39:12.380
 has

00:39:12.380 --> 00:39:12.559
 for

00:39:12.559 --> 00:39:12.920
 us

00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:13.300
 God

00:39:13.300 --> 00:39:13.480
 is

00:39:13.480 --> 00:39:13.880
 love

00:39:13.880 --> 00:39:14.640
 and

00:39:14.640 --> 00:39:14.880
 whoever

00:39:14.880 --> 00:39:15.519
 abides

00:39:15.519 --> 00:39:15.900
 in

00:39:15.900 --> 00:39:16.559
 love

00:39:16.559 --> 00:39:17.400
 abides

00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:17.740
 in

00:39:18.380 --> 00:39:18.780
 God

00:39:18.780 --> 00:39:19.400
 abides

00:39:19.400 --> 00:39:19.780
 in

00:39:19.780 --> 00:39:20.200
 him

00:39:20.200 --> 00:39:21.280
 if

00:39:21.280 --> 00:39:21.440
 we

00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:22.059
 confess

00:39:22.059 --> 00:39:22.559
 Jesus

00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:22.840
 then

00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:23.099
 God

00:39:23.099 --> 00:39:23.460
 abides

00:39:23.460 --> 00:39:23.599
 in

00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:23.860
 us

00:39:23.860 --> 00:39:24.360
 if

00:39:24.360 --> 00:39:24.519
 we

00:39:24.519 --> 00:39:25.039
 love

00:39:25.039 --> 00:39:25.500
 God

00:39:25.500 --> 00:39:25.860
 then

00:39:25.860 --> 00:39:26.200
 God

00:39:26.200 --> 00:39:26.840
 abides

00:39:26.840 --> 00:39:27.019
 in

00:39:27.019 --> 00:39:27.440
 us

00:39:27.440 --> 00:39:27.980
 and

00:39:27.980 --> 00:39:28.160
 these

00:39:28.160 --> 00:39:28.320
 are

00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:28.740
 parallel

00:39:28.740 --> 00:39:29.340
 statements

00:39:29.340 --> 00:39:29.840
 because

00:39:29.840 --> 00:39:30.260
 Jesus

00:39:30.260 --> 00:39:30.940
 is

00:39:30.940 --> 00:39:31.599
 God's

00:39:31.599 --> 00:39:31.920
 chosen

00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:32.480
 representative

00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:32.980
 and

00:39:32.980 --> 00:39:33.119
 to

00:39:33.119 --> 00:39:33.579
 believe

00:39:33.579 --> 00:39:33.780
 in

00:39:33.780 --> 00:39:34.119
 him

00:39:34.119 --> 00:39:34.480
 and

00:39:34.480 --> 00:39:34.660
 to

00:39:34.660 --> 00:39:35.039
 follow

00:39:35.039 --> 00:39:35.500
 him

00:39:35.500 --> 00:39:36.059
 is

00:39:36.059 --> 00:39:36.440
 to

00:39:36.440 --> 00:39:36.880
 love

00:39:36.880 --> 00:39:37.260
 God

00:39:37.260 --> 00:39:39.660
 and

00:39:39.660 --> 00:39:39.780
 we

00:39:39.780 --> 00:39:39.900
 have

00:39:39.900 --> 00:39:40.180
 all

00:39:40.180 --> 00:39:40.599
 failed

00:39:40.599 --> 00:39:40.780
 in

00:39:40.780 --> 00:39:40.920
 this

00:39:40.920 --> 00:39:41.200
 regard

00:39:41.200 --> 00:39:41.360
 to

00:39:41.360 --> 00:39:41.559
 love

00:39:41.559 --> 00:39:41.860
 God

00:39:41.860 --> 00:39:42.039
 with

00:39:42.039 --> 00:39:42.200
 our

00:39:42.200 --> 00:39:42.480
 whole

00:39:42.480 --> 00:39:42.840
 selves

00:39:42.840 --> 00:39:42.960
 and

00:39:42.960 --> 00:39:43.059
 to

00:39:43.059 --> 00:39:43.200
 love

00:39:43.200 --> 00:39:43.340
 our

00:39:43.340 --> 00:39:43.579
 neighbor

00:39:43.579 --> 00:39:43.800
 as

00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:44.300
 ourselves

00:39:44.300 --> 00:39:44.900
 and

00:39:44.900 --> 00:39:45.039
 we

00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:45.240
 were

00:39:45.240 --> 00:39:45.680
 therefore

00:39:45.679 --> 00:39:46.339
 cut off

00:39:46.339 --> 00:39:46.699
 forever

00:39:46.699 --> 00:39:47.019
 from

00:39:47.019 --> 00:39:47.179
 the

00:39:47.179 --> 00:39:47.619
 prospect

00:39:47.619 --> 00:39:48.159
 of

00:39:48.159 --> 00:39:48.639
 inheriting

00:39:48.639 --> 00:39:49.000
 eternal

00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:49.279
 life

00:39:49.279 --> 00:39:49.399
 but

00:39:49.399 --> 00:39:49.699
 that's

00:39:49.699 --> 00:39:49.980
 why

00:39:49.980 --> 00:39:50.239
 God

00:39:50.239 --> 00:39:50.399
 the

00:39:50.399 --> 00:39:50.619
 father

00:39:50.619 --> 00:39:50.940
 sent

00:39:50.940 --> 00:39:51.099
 his

00:39:51.099 --> 00:39:51.419
 only

00:39:51.419 --> 00:39:51.879
 son

00:39:51.879 --> 00:39:52.539
 Jesus

00:39:52.539 --> 00:39:52.819
 to

00:39:52.819 --> 00:39:53.139
 die

00:39:53.139 --> 00:39:53.399
 for

00:39:53.399 --> 00:39:53.659
 us

00:39:53.659 --> 00:39:53.980
 to

00:39:53.980 --> 00:39:54.440
 save

00:39:54.440 --> 00:39:54.699
 us

00:39:54.699 --> 00:39:54.839
 so

00:39:54.839 --> 00:39:54.980
 that

00:39:54.980 --> 00:39:55.299
 he

00:39:55.299 --> 00:39:55.639
 might

00:39:55.639 --> 00:39:56.079
 represent

00:39:56.079 --> 00:39:56.599
 us

00:39:56.599 --> 00:39:57.059
 so

00:39:57.059 --> 00:39:57.179
 that

00:39:57.179 --> 00:39:57.279
 we

00:39:57.279 --> 00:39:57.460
 don't

00:39:57.460 --> 00:39:57.779
 stand

00:39:57.779 --> 00:39:57.960
 for

00:39:57.960 --> 00:39:58.480
 ourselves

00:39:58.480 --> 00:39:59.000
 in

00:39:59.000 --> 00:39:59.139
 the

00:39:59.139 --> 00:39:59.460
 court

00:39:59.460 --> 00:39:59.879
 of

00:39:59.879 --> 00:40:00.239
 God's

00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:00.500
 judgment

00:40:00.500 --> 00:40:00.759
 but

00:40:00.759 --> 00:40:01.019
 that

00:40:01.019 --> 00:40:01.480
 Jesus

00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:02.059
 might

00:40:02.059 --> 00:40:02.579
 stand

00:40:02.579 --> 00:40:03.019
 for

00:40:03.019 --> 00:40:03.299
 us

00:40:03.299 --> 00:40:03.779
 because

00:40:03.779 --> 00:40:04.219
 Jesus

00:40:04.219 --> 00:40:04.460
 in

00:40:04.460 --> 00:40:04.619
 his

00:40:04.619 --> 00:40:04.919
 life

00:40:04.919 --> 00:40:05.079
 he

00:40:05.079 --> 00:40:05.219
 said

00:40:05.219 --> 00:40:05.379
 he

00:40:05.379 --> 00:40:05.940
 obeyed

00:40:05.940 --> 00:40:06.099
 his

00:40:06.099 --> 00:40:06.559
 father

00:40:06.559 --> 00:40:07.019
 and

00:40:07.019 --> 00:40:07.440
 loved

00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:07.679
 his

00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:08.059
 father

00:40:08.059 --> 00:40:08.699
 perfectly

00:40:08.699 --> 00:40:09.259
 that's

00:40:09.259 --> 00:40:09.419
 what

00:40:09.420 --> 00:40:09.659
 we

00:40:09.659 --> 00:40:09.900
 should

00:40:09.900 --> 00:40:10.119
 have

00:40:10.119 --> 00:40:10.320
 done

00:40:10.320 --> 00:40:10.440
 but

00:40:10.440 --> 00:40:10.559
 we

00:40:10.559 --> 00:40:10.720
 did

00:40:10.720 --> 00:40:10.940
 not

00:40:10.940 --> 00:40:11.200
 love

00:40:11.200 --> 00:40:11.360
 him

00:40:11.360 --> 00:40:11.780
 perfectly

00:40:11.780 --> 00:40:12.300
 but

00:40:12.300 --> 00:40:12.639
 Jesus

00:40:12.639 --> 00:40:13.119
 did

00:40:13.119 --> 00:40:13.980
 but

00:40:13.980 --> 00:40:14.180
 even

00:40:14.180 --> 00:40:14.400
 though

00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:14.599
 he

00:40:14.599 --> 00:40:15.059
 obeyed

00:40:15.059 --> 00:40:15.400
 perfectly

00:40:15.400 --> 00:40:15.559
 he

00:40:15.559 --> 00:40:15.880
 loved

00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:16.180
 God

00:40:16.180 --> 00:40:16.619
 perfectly

00:40:16.619 --> 00:40:17.079
 he

00:40:17.079 --> 00:40:17.659
 died

00:40:17.659 --> 00:40:18.380

00:40:32.859 --> 00:40:33.279
 fills

00:40:33.279 --> 00:40:33.519
 us

00:40:33.519 --> 00:40:33.839
 with

00:40:33.839 --> 00:40:34.139

00:40:36.139 --> 00:40:36.599
 so

00:40:36.599 --> 00:40:36.699
 that

00:40:36.699 --> 00:40:36.799
 we

00:40:36.799 --> 00:40:36.980
 might

 so

00:40:39.739 --> 00:40:39.919
 that

00:40:39.919 --> 00:40:40.099
 in

00:40:41.679 --> 00:40:42.859

00:40:42.859 --> 00:40:43.839
 we

00:40:43.839 --> 00:40:44.099
 might

00:40:44.099 --> 00:40:44.639
 truly

00:42:21.539 --> 00:42:21.679
 it

00:42:21.679 --> 00:42:21.940
 makes

00:42:21.940 --> 00:42:22.199
 us

00:42:22.199 --> 00:42:22.779
 anxious

00:42:22.779 --> 00:42:23.299
 and

00:42:23.299 --> 00:42:23.819
 troubled

 many

00:42:24.639 --> 00:42:25.179
 things

00:42:25.179 --> 00:42:26.679
 these

00:42:26.679 --> 00:42:26.839
 are

00:42:26.839 --> 00:42:27.299
 warning

00:42:27.299 --> 00:42:27.759
 signs

00:42:27.759 --> 00:42:27.919
 that

00:42:27.919 --> 00:42:28.039
 we

00:42:28.039 --> 00:42:28.179
 are

00:42:28.179 --> 00:42:28.619
 losing

00:42:28.619 --> 00:42:29.299
 sight

00:42:29.299 --> 00:42:29.719
 of

00:42:29.719 --> 00:42:29.980
 what

00:42:29.980 --> 00:42:30.319
 is

00:42:30.319 --> 00:42:30.819
 most

00:42:30.819 --> 00:42:31.339
 important

00:42:31.339 --> 00:42:34.899
 and

00:42:34.899 --> 00:42:35.039
 I

00:42:35.039 --> 00:42:35.500
 say

00:42:35.500 --> 00:42:36.000
 this

00:42:36.000 --> 00:42:38.839
 we

00:42:38.839 --> 00:42:39.059
 have

00:42:39.059 --> 00:42:39.239
 a

 church

00:42:39.500 --> 00:42:39.819
 full

00:42:39.819 --> 00:42:40.059

00:42:40.059 --> 00:42:40.719
 very

00:42:40.719 --> 00:42:41.139
 hard

00:42:41.139 --> 00:42:41.559
 working

00:42:45.399 --> 00:42:47.399
 but

00:42:47.399 --> 00:42:47.559
 I

00:42:47.559 --> 00:42:47.940
 don't

00:42:47.940 --> 00:42:48.379
 want

00:42:48.379 --> 00:42:48.619
 the

00:42:48.619 --> 00:42:49.299
 busyness

00:42:49.299 --> 00:42:49.699
 of

00:42:51.699 --> 00:42:52.159
 us

00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:52.619
 from

00:42:52.619 --> 00:42:52.919
 listening

00:42:52.919 --> 00:42:53.139
 to

00:42:53.139 --> 00:42:53.579
 Jesus

00:42:53.579 --> 00:42:58.079
 it's

00:42:58.079 --> 00:42:58.420
 easy

00:42:58.420 --> 00:42:58.639
 for

00:42:58.639 --> 00:42:58.840
 us

00:42:58.840 --> 00:42:59.079
 as

 a

00:42:59.219 --> 00:42:59.400
 church

00:42:59.400 --> 00:42:59.599
 to

00:42:59.599 --> 00:42:59.819
 give

00:42:59.819 --> 00:43:00.039
 in

00:43:00.039 --> 00:43:00.139
 to

00:43:00.139 --> 00:43:00.299
 the

00:43:00.299 --> 00:43:00.920
 idolatry

00:43:00.920 --> 00:43:01.079
 of

00:43:01.079 --> 00:43:01.400
 more

00:43:01.400 --> 00:43:02.099
 let's

00:43:02.099 --> 00:43:02.219
 do

00:43:02.219 --> 00:43:02.599
 more

00:43:02.599 --> 00:43:03.039
 let's

00:43:03.039 --> 00:43:03.279
 have

00:43:03.279 --> 00:43:03.759
 more

00:43:03.759 --> 00:43:05.480
 more

00:43:05.480 --> 00:43:06.079
 programs

00:43:06.079 --> 00:43:07.059
 more

00:43:07.059 --> 00:43:07.779
 ministries

00:43:07.779 --> 00:43:09.139
 more

00:43:09.139 --> 00:43:09.579
 people

00:43:09.579 --> 00:43:13.639
 but

00:43:13.639 --> 00:43:14.099
 sometimes

00:43:14.099 --> 00:43:14.500
 less

00:43:14.500 --> 00:43:14.739
 is

00:43:14.739 --> 00:43:15.039
 more

00:43:15.039 --> 00:43:19.860
 and

00:43:19.860 --> 00:43:20.000
 if

00:43:20.000 --> 00:43:20.159
 there

00:43:20.159 --> 00:43:20.400
 are

00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:20.779
 ways

00:43:20.779 --> 00:43:20.980
 to

00:43:20.980 --> 00:43:21.539
 simplify

00:43:21.539 --> 00:43:22.000
 our

00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:22.599
 gatherings

00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:23.319
 so

00:43:23.319 --> 00:43:23.599
 that

00:43:23.599 --> 00:43:24.119
 more

00:43:24.119 --> 00:43:24.480
 people

00:43:24.480 --> 00:43:24.739
 can

00:43:24.739 --> 00:43:24.900
 be

00:43:24.900 --> 00:43:25.400
 attentive

00:43:25.400 --> 00:43:26.019
 to

 God's

00:43:26.460 --> 00:43:26.759
 word

00:43:26.759 --> 00:43:28.059
 I

00:43:28.059 --> 00:43:28.239
 think

00:43:28.239 --> 00:43:28.360
 we

00:43:28.360 --> 00:43:28.480
 should

 strive

00:43:28.819 --> 00:43:28.980
 for

00:43:28.980 --> 00:43:29.279
 that

00:43:29.279 --> 00:43:34.659
 so

00:43:34.659 --> 00:43:34.960

00:43:35.619 --> 00:43:36.219
 work

00:43:36.219 --> 00:43:36.779
 ourselves

00:43:36.779 --> 00:43:37.940
 down

00:43:37.940 --> 00:43:38.139
 to

00:43:38.139 --> 00:43:38.279
 the

00:43:44.299 --> 00:43:45.139
 as

00:43:45.139 --> 00:43:45.339

00:43:45.339 --> 00:43:45.619
 our

00:43:45.619 --> 00:43:46.659
 validation

00:43:46.659 --> 00:43:47.039
 before

00:43:47.039 --> 00:43:47.219
 the

00:43:47.219 --> 00:43:47.420
 eyes

00:43:47.420 --> 00:43:47.559
 of

00:43:47.559 --> 00:43:47.719
 God

 we're

00:43:53.019 --> 00:43:53.360
 really

00:43:53.360 --> 00:43:53.820
 convinced

00:43:53.820 --> 00:43:54.059
 that

 God

00:43:54.460 --> 00:43:54.980
 needs
