00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:28.320
 Friends, there's a feast downstairs waiting for us

00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:33.920
 after the service, but we have a feast first here in God's Word.

00:00:34.859 --> 00:00:38.000
 So I hope you will join with me.

00:00:38.120 --> 00:00:40.320
 If you want to pull out your Bibles, you can turn the page.

00:00:40.380 --> 00:00:41.320
 I think it's 1001.

00:00:42.100 --> 00:00:43.340
 It's in your bulletin.

00:00:44.219 --> 00:00:46.039
 It's the book of Hebrews chapter 4,

00:00:46.299 --> 00:00:49.060
 which is where we'll be looking this morning.

00:00:52.740 --> 00:00:55.719
 I've been thinking a lot about people in need.

00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:59.899
 I got a text message email late last night,

00:01:00.179 --> 00:01:01.460
 and yes, I was still awake,

00:01:02.019 --> 00:01:04.000
 late last night from some friends

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.239
 who were serving with the State Department over in Asia,

00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:11.079
 saying that their third child seems to want to come early,

00:01:11.260 --> 00:01:12.539
 but is coming slowly.

00:01:12.700 --> 00:01:15.659
 They'd been in the hospital for over 36 hours.

00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:18.299
 The delivery was not progressing.

00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:21.480
 They were struggling with language issues,

00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:23.359
 and they asked for us to pray.

00:01:24.800 --> 00:01:27.859
 I thought, what a difficult situation to be in,

00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:30.880
 in a foreign country not speaking the language

00:01:30.880 --> 00:01:32.700
 of those who are caring for you

00:01:32.700 --> 00:01:36.219
 in such an important time.

00:01:36.219 --> 00:01:42.879
 I've been reading and thinking much about the Philippines

00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:48.219
 and what people there are facing day to day.

00:01:50.219 --> 00:01:52.420
 No food, no shelter.

00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:56.620
 The grief of loss of family members.

00:01:57.500 --> 00:01:59.439
 If you haven't educated yourself

00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:02.299
 on how terrible the situation is, you should,

00:02:02.299 --> 00:02:06.060
 so that you can pray, so that you can know.

00:02:07.700 --> 00:02:08.840
 I've also been reading,

00:02:09.460 --> 00:02:12.520
 this is a book by a woman named Johnny Erickson Tata.

00:02:12.859 --> 00:02:14.259
 If you're not familiar with her,

00:02:14.780 --> 00:02:17.759
 she is an author and speaker.

00:02:18.780 --> 00:02:22.439
 Her life story talks about how when she was 17,

00:02:22.620 --> 00:02:24.240
 she suffered a spinal cord injury

00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:27.280
 and was paralyzed from the neck down,

00:02:27.379 --> 00:02:29.479
 and she has lived with that for 40 years.

00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:32.500
 The remarkable thing about this book

00:02:32.500 --> 00:02:34.959
 is that it's not talking about that.

00:02:35.139 --> 00:02:37.539
 She says, I've kind of gotten accustomed to that,

00:02:37.679 --> 00:02:41.599
 and at least I've learned how to live with that.

00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:43.219
 But in the last couple of years,

00:02:43.219 --> 00:02:46.120
 I've started to experience debilitating pain,

00:02:46.939 --> 00:02:48.219
 pain that won't go away,

00:02:48.379 --> 00:02:50.259
 pain that the medicine can only dull.

00:02:52.959 --> 00:02:54.599
 And then in the postscript of the book,

00:02:54.679 --> 00:02:55.399
 she mentions,

00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:58.060
 oh, friends, will you join with me?

00:02:58.060 --> 00:02:59.780
 I was just diagnosed with cancer.

00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:03.960
 We'll hear from her later,

00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:06.900
 but I've been thinking about people in need.

00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:10.219
 Obviously, the things that I've mentioned

00:03:10.219 --> 00:03:11.879
 are more extreme cases,

00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:14.719
 but maybe you felt in need,

00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:16.060
 like I have this week.

00:03:17.219 --> 00:03:18.879
 I know that this week,

00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:22.319
 I have been overwhelmed by the tasks

00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:24.080
 that I think I ought to get done.

00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:28.160
 and simply wanting to do my work well,

00:03:28.380 --> 00:03:29.520
 care for my family,

00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:31.360
 walk with Jesus,

00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.600
 and I felt completely overwhelmed

00:03:34.600 --> 00:03:36.380
 and unable to do those things.

00:03:37.460 --> 00:03:38.840
 You may be facing

00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:41.080
 all sorts of

00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:43.760
 crises or challenges,

00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:45.240
 places where you realize,

00:03:45.460 --> 00:03:46.540
 I need help.

00:03:46.539 --> 00:03:52.439
 Friends, whether they're big or small,

00:03:52.539 --> 00:03:53.159
 that's real.

00:03:54.500 --> 00:03:55.719
 It's a real issue.

00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:56.180
 And you know,

00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:57.359
 I don't know if you're like me,

00:03:57.459 --> 00:03:59.039
 but I don't like being there.

00:03:59.459 --> 00:04:00.959
 I don't like being needy.

00:04:01.379 --> 00:04:03.060
 I like to be self-sufficient.

00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:04.979
 I like the American dream

00:04:04.979 --> 00:04:06.239
 of the self-made man.

00:04:06.340 --> 00:04:08.359
 I can pull myself up by the bootstraps.

00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:10.000
 I can handle anything.

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.780
 I don't like to have to need

00:04:13.780 --> 00:04:15.319
 someone else.

00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:18.220
 It makes me feel vulnerable.

00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:21.560
 And it's confusing

00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:23.560
 and bewildering.

00:04:24.420 --> 00:04:25.000
 We wonder,

00:04:25.259 --> 00:04:26.620
 who will help us?

00:04:27.579 --> 00:04:28.639
 Is there someone out there

00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:29.839
 who will?

00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:31.579
 We wonder,

00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:32.819
 does anyone care

00:04:32.819 --> 00:04:35.319
 about the things that

00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:36.540
 I'm facing

00:04:36.540 --> 00:04:38.399
 that are greater than me,

00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:40.120
 that are bigger than me?

00:04:41.239 --> 00:04:41.919
 And you know,

00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:43.019
 the funny thing about it

00:04:43.019 --> 00:04:44.019
 is that if you're a Christian,

00:04:44.539 --> 00:04:46.139
 it's almost more challenging,

00:04:46.259 --> 00:04:46.659
 isn't it,

00:04:46.679 --> 00:04:47.179
 sometimes,

00:04:47.179 --> 00:04:48.979
 when you face those

00:04:48.979 --> 00:04:50.079
 times of need.

00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:51.459
 Because you realize

00:04:51.459 --> 00:04:54.239
 that we believe in a God

00:04:54.239 --> 00:04:55.259
 who made the universe.

00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:56.459
 We believe in a God

00:04:56.459 --> 00:04:57.500
 who says He's sovereign

00:04:57.500 --> 00:04:58.120
 over everything.

00:04:58.419 --> 00:04:59.099
 Not only that,

00:04:59.159 --> 00:05:00.299
 we believe that He's a God

00:05:00.299 --> 00:05:01.019
 who loves.

00:05:02.500 --> 00:05:04.019
 And so when we find ourselves

00:05:04.019 --> 00:05:05.219
 in a time of need,

00:05:05.219 --> 00:05:06.279
 we wonder,

00:05:07.099 --> 00:05:08.279
 does God really care?

00:05:09.139 --> 00:05:09.799
 We wonder,

00:05:10.299 --> 00:05:11.500
 is He really able

00:05:11.500 --> 00:05:12.439
 to help us?

00:05:15.579 --> 00:05:16.299
 Friends,

00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:17.159
 there's good news.

00:05:18.219 --> 00:05:19.799
 Our passage today

00:05:19.799 --> 00:05:21.019
 points us

00:05:21.019 --> 00:05:22.579
 to how we answer

00:05:22.579 --> 00:05:23.599
 those questions.

00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:26.019
 Points us to one

00:05:26.019 --> 00:05:27.279
 who meets us

00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:29.259
 in that time of need

00:05:29.259 --> 00:05:32.299
 in deep and profound

00:05:32.299 --> 00:05:34.419
 and wonderful ways.

00:05:34.420 --> 00:05:36.220
 So if you want to read

00:05:36.220 --> 00:05:36.660
 with me,

00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:37.640
 we're going to look at

00:05:37.640 --> 00:05:38.819
 Hebrews chapter 4,

00:05:39.400 --> 00:05:41.640
 verses 14 through 16.

00:05:44.640 --> 00:05:45.319
 I'm going to read

00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:46.620
 the passage together

00:05:46.620 --> 00:05:47.439
 and then we'll pray.

00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:53.000
 since then we have

00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:53.980
 a great high priest

00:05:53.980 --> 00:05:54.680
 who has passed

00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:55.579
 through the heavens,

00:05:56.100 --> 00:05:56.420
 Jesus,

00:05:56.660 --> 00:05:57.540
 the Son of God.

00:05:58.480 --> 00:05:59.779
 Let us hold fast

00:05:59.779 --> 00:06:00.560
 our confession.

00:06:02.019 --> 00:06:03.019
 We do not have

00:06:03.019 --> 00:06:03.680
 a high priest

00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:04.699
 who is unable

00:06:04.699 --> 00:06:05.579
 to sympathize

00:06:05.579 --> 00:06:06.420
 with our weaknesses,

00:06:07.180 --> 00:06:08.240
 but one who

00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:09.720
 in every respect

00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:10.740
 has been tempted

00:06:10.740 --> 00:06:11.579
 as we are,

00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:14.100
 yet without sin.

00:06:14.100 --> 00:06:16.460
 Let us then

00:06:16.460 --> 00:06:17.560
 with confidence

00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:18.360
 draw near

00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:19.560
 to the throne of grace

00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:21.280
 that we may receive mercy

00:06:21.280 --> 00:06:22.560
 and find grace

00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:23.939
 to help

00:06:23.939 --> 00:06:25.560
 in time

00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:26.740
 of need.

00:06:28.060 --> 00:06:29.300
 Please pray with me.

00:06:33.320 --> 00:06:34.640
 God, we confess

00:06:34.640 --> 00:06:35.320
 this morning

00:06:35.320 --> 00:06:37.820
 that we are needy

00:06:37.820 --> 00:06:38.820
 and it's hard

00:06:38.820 --> 00:06:39.720
 to confess that

00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:40.320
 at times.

00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:42.760
 Lord, we don't like it

00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:45.000
 and yet it is true.

00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:47.779
 So, Lord,

00:06:47.819 --> 00:06:48.879
 we come to you

00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:49.759
 as needy people

00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:50.420
 this morning.

00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:52.599
 Needy for your help,

00:06:52.899 --> 00:06:54.139
 needy for your guidance,

00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:55.459
 needy for your presence,

00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:57.019
 most of all,

00:06:57.300 --> 00:06:58.899
 needy for your salvation.

00:07:01.699 --> 00:07:02.800
 God, we pray

00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:04.099
 this morning

00:07:04.099 --> 00:07:05.159
 that you would help us.

00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:07.319
 Help us see you

00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:09.699
 and know

00:07:09.699 --> 00:07:11.699
 that you are there

00:07:11.699 --> 00:07:13.339
 and that you do care.

00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:15.959
 We pray these things

00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:16.979
 in Jesus' name.

00:07:18.019 --> 00:07:18.379
 Amen.

00:07:22.060 --> 00:07:22.599
 You know,

00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:23.659
 as we look at this passage,

00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:24.639
 I want to remind you

00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:26.139
 if you have not been with us,

00:07:26.379 --> 00:07:27.039
 then this will be

00:07:27.039 --> 00:07:28.500
 a quick overview

00:07:28.500 --> 00:07:29.639
 and if you have been with us,

00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:30.480
 this will be a review

00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:32.099
 of where we've been so far.

00:07:32.379 --> 00:07:33.379
 Hebrews 1-4

00:07:33.379 --> 00:07:34.300
 because this passage

00:07:34.300 --> 00:07:35.459
 is kind of a hinge

00:07:35.459 --> 00:07:37.159
 and all that's come before

00:07:37.159 --> 00:07:38.579
 has been setting up

00:07:38.579 --> 00:07:40.699
 what the writer

00:07:40.699 --> 00:07:41.199
 of the Hebrews

00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:42.339
 really wants to say.

00:07:42.419 --> 00:07:42.919
 In some ways,

00:07:43.019 --> 00:07:44.120
 the core of his argument

00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:45.839
 is in chapters 5-10

00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:47.339
 and these chapters,

00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:48.899
 chapters 1-4

00:07:48.899 --> 00:07:49.800
 are kind of setting up

00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:50.359
 and do you remember

00:07:50.359 --> 00:07:51.219
 what we've seen?

00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:52.800
 We've seen Jesus.

00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:53.800
 Jesus,

00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:55.060
 who is the one

00:07:55.060 --> 00:07:56.979
 greater than the angels

00:07:56.979 --> 00:07:57.819
 as the one

00:07:57.819 --> 00:07:58.339
 who has come

00:07:58.339 --> 00:07:59.639
 to finally show us

00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:01.519
 what God is really like.

00:08:01.799 --> 00:08:03.259
 He is a greater revelation

00:08:03.259 --> 00:08:04.519
 than all the revelation

00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:05.799
 that the angels have had.

00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:06.480
 And in fact,

00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:07.340
 he is the one

00:08:07.340 --> 00:08:08.960
 whom God will make

00:08:08.960 --> 00:08:09.840
 all of his enemies

00:08:09.840 --> 00:08:10.620
 a footstool

00:08:10.620 --> 00:08:12.120
 as he sits enthroned

00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:12.680
 in the heaven.

00:08:12.960 --> 00:08:14.340
 This glorious picture

00:08:14.340 --> 00:08:15.819
 of a great Jesus

00:08:15.819 --> 00:08:17.720
 over all.

00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:19.759
 He's greater than Moses

00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:20.620
 if you remember.

00:08:20.780 --> 00:08:21.360
 We've seen that

00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:23.199
 he's a greater representative

00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:24.139
 of God's people.

00:08:24.280 --> 00:08:25.560
 He's a greater leader

00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:26.680
 of God's people.

00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:29.259
 And then we see

00:08:29.259 --> 00:08:30.100
 in chapter 2

00:08:30.100 --> 00:08:31.900
 how this great Jesus

00:08:31.900 --> 00:08:33.860
 has condescended

00:08:33.860 --> 00:08:34.720
 for a moment

00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:36.360
 to identify with us

00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:37.480
 in our humanity.

00:08:37.980 --> 00:08:39.019
 He has come down

00:08:39.019 --> 00:08:40.840
 and took on flesh and blood

00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:42.080
 for us

00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:43.620
 so that he might

00:08:43.620 --> 00:08:45.180
 do for us

00:08:45.180 --> 00:08:46.040
 the very thing

00:08:46.040 --> 00:08:47.200
 that we most need

00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:49.060
 to die

00:08:49.060 --> 00:08:50.379
 a death

00:08:50.379 --> 00:08:51.399
 that we deserved

00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:53.660
 so that we might live

00:08:53.660 --> 00:08:56.560
 by faith in him.

00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:58.560
 And then chapter 3

00:08:58.560 --> 00:09:00.940
 picks up these grand themes again

00:09:00.940 --> 00:09:01.360
 and says,

00:09:01.620 --> 00:09:03.879
 so we have this great Jesus.

00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:04.620
 And do you know

00:09:04.620 --> 00:09:05.240
 what else he's done?

00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:06.539
 He's created for us

00:09:06.539 --> 00:09:07.960
 a Sabbath rest.

00:09:08.340 --> 00:09:09.340
 He's given us

00:09:09.340 --> 00:09:10.539
 in our salvation

00:09:10.539 --> 00:09:11.299
 a rest

00:09:11.299 --> 00:09:13.039
 from striving for God

00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:15.240
 to accept us

00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:16.080
 as we are.

00:09:16.620 --> 00:09:17.500
 Striving to try

00:09:17.500 --> 00:09:18.480
 to prove ourselves

00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:19.360
 that we're good enough

00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:19.939
 in the world

00:09:19.939 --> 00:09:20.919
 that our lives

00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:21.700
 are worth something

00:09:21.700 --> 00:09:22.460
 by what we do.

00:09:22.620 --> 00:09:23.919
 We have rest from that

00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:24.500
 because we have

00:09:24.500 --> 00:09:25.799
 acceptance in Christ.

00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:27.179
 We have not only that

00:09:27.179 --> 00:09:29.179
 but we have real peace

00:09:29.179 --> 00:09:29.820
 to know that

00:09:29.820 --> 00:09:30.879
 our lives are held

00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:31.379
 in the hands

00:09:31.379 --> 00:09:32.399
 of a sovereign one

00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:34.220
 who has brought us

00:09:34.220 --> 00:09:35.000
 into his kingdom

00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:36.399
 that cannot be shaken

00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:38.659
 and cannot be moved.

00:09:41.059 --> 00:09:41.679
 And interlaced

00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:42.279
 in all of these

00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:43.320
 exalted pictures

00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:43.899
 of Jesus

00:09:43.899 --> 00:09:45.080
 have been these warnings.

00:09:46.439 --> 00:09:47.759
 Don't lose sight of it.

00:09:48.439 --> 00:09:50.059
 Don't drift away from it.

00:09:50.779 --> 00:09:52.000
 Don't neglect it.

00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:54.759
 Consider him.

00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:56.620
 Don't harden your hearts

00:09:56.620 --> 00:09:58.759
 against this exalted Jesus

00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:00.639
 and all that he's done.

00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:05.840
 And here in this passage

00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:07.100
 in this hinge passage

00:10:07.100 --> 00:10:07.840
 he picks up

00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:09.080
 a particular theme

00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:10.320
 the theme that

00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:11.860
 Jesus is our high priest.

00:10:12.460 --> 00:10:13.299
 And if you have your Bibles

00:10:13.299 --> 00:10:14.220
 look with me back

00:10:14.220 --> 00:10:15.360
 in chapters 2 and 3

00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:16.200
 because we've seen this

00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:17.080
 twice already.

00:10:17.700 --> 00:10:18.740
 He's laced it in there.

00:10:18.740 --> 00:10:19.779
 2.17

00:10:19.779 --> 00:10:20.279
 He says

00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:21.120
 Therefore he

00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:21.940
 that is Jesus

00:10:21.940 --> 00:10:23.340
 had to be made

00:10:23.340 --> 00:10:24.100
 like his brothers

00:10:24.100 --> 00:10:25.080
 in every respect

00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:26.500
 so that he might become

00:10:26.500 --> 00:10:27.539
 a merciful

00:10:27.539 --> 00:10:28.379
 and faithful

00:10:28.379 --> 00:10:29.259
 high priest

00:10:29.259 --> 00:10:30.480
 in the service of God

00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:32.139
 to make a propitiation

00:10:32.139 --> 00:10:33.220
 that is a sacrifice

00:10:33.220 --> 00:10:34.620
 that takes away wrath

00:10:34.620 --> 00:10:35.860
 a propitiation

00:10:35.860 --> 00:10:36.740
 for the sins

00:10:36.740 --> 00:10:37.539
 of the people.

00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:40.100
 And then in 3.1

00:10:40.100 --> 00:10:40.980
 he picks it up again

00:10:40.980 --> 00:10:42.220
 Therefore holy brothers

00:10:42.220 --> 00:10:43.340
 you who share

00:10:43.340 --> 00:10:44.580
 in the heavenly calling

00:10:44.580 --> 00:10:45.980
 consider Jesus

00:10:45.980 --> 00:10:46.879
 the apostle

00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:48.200
 and high priest

00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:50.700
 of our confession.

00:10:51.980 --> 00:10:52.779
 And he just kind of

00:10:52.779 --> 00:10:54.419
 laced that vocabulary

00:10:54.419 --> 00:10:54.899
 in there

00:10:54.899 --> 00:10:55.480
 without doing

00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:56.399
 very much with it.

00:10:57.379 --> 00:10:58.120
 And now at the end

00:10:58.120 --> 00:10:58.899
 of chapter 4

00:10:58.899 --> 00:10:59.659
 he's picking up

00:10:59.659 --> 00:11:00.200
 that theme

00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:01.340
 and he's launching us

00:11:01.340 --> 00:11:02.279
 and what we'll see

00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:04.039
 is 5 and 6

00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:04.779
 is all about

00:11:04.779 --> 00:11:05.240
 the nature

00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:05.980
 of his priesthood

00:11:05.980 --> 00:11:06.500
 and 7

00:11:06.500 --> 00:11:08.240
 or 5, 6, 7

00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:08.639
 yeah

00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:09.759
 6, 7, 8

00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:10.259
 anyway

00:11:10.259 --> 00:11:10.620
 sorry

00:11:10.620 --> 00:11:11.840
 as we keep going

00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:13.059
 between 5 and 10

00:11:13.059 --> 00:11:13.700
 we'll get both

00:11:13.700 --> 00:11:14.259
 the nature

00:11:14.259 --> 00:11:15.279
 of his priesthood

00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:16.220
 and

00:11:16.220 --> 00:11:17.659
 the work

00:11:17.659 --> 00:11:18.820
 of his priesthood

00:11:18.820 --> 00:11:19.659
 for us.

00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:21.379
 But

00:11:21.379 --> 00:11:22.480
 since we're not

00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:22.980
 going to preach

00:11:22.980 --> 00:11:23.659
 the whole next

00:11:23.659 --> 00:11:24.700
 five chapters today

00:11:24.700 --> 00:11:25.360
 let me give you

00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:25.720
 a summary

00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:27.200
 what does it mean

00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:28.240
 what does it mean

00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:28.759
 that Jesus

00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:29.899
 is our high priest

00:11:29.899 --> 00:11:30.919
 well this

00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:31.759
 there are a few things

00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:32.620
 there are lots of things

00:11:32.620 --> 00:11:33.180
 you can spend

00:11:33.180 --> 00:11:34.200
 five chapters on it

00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:34.620
 good heavens

00:11:34.620 --> 00:11:35.840
 but there are a few things

00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:36.519
 that he points out

00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:37.080
 here now

00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:37.899
 that are very important

00:11:37.899 --> 00:11:38.500
 the first thing

00:11:38.500 --> 00:11:38.820
 is that

00:11:38.820 --> 00:11:40.159
 he is a high priest

00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:40.919
 who has gone

00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:42.000
 into the heavens

00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:43.860
 and what does that mean

00:11:43.860 --> 00:11:45.320
 what does that picture mean

00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:46.180
 well I think

00:11:46.180 --> 00:11:47.100
 what the writer of Hebrews

00:11:47.100 --> 00:11:47.480
 is doing

00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:48.220
 is he's picking up

00:11:48.220 --> 00:11:48.720
 a picture

00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:50.180
 from the Old Testament

00:11:50.179 --> 00:11:51.819
 in the Old Testament

00:11:51.819 --> 00:11:53.099
 there was a temple

00:11:53.099 --> 00:11:54.399
 and that temple

00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:54.819
 had

00:11:54.819 --> 00:11:55.759
 had

00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:56.939
 sections

00:11:56.939 --> 00:11:57.620
 and the

00:11:57.620 --> 00:11:58.959
 the further you went

00:11:58.959 --> 00:11:59.879
 into the temple

00:11:59.879 --> 00:12:00.620
 from the courtyard

00:12:00.620 --> 00:12:01.419
 of the Gentiles

00:12:01.419 --> 00:12:02.099
 to the courtyard

00:12:02.099 --> 00:12:02.639
 of the Jews

00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:03.759
 to inside the temple

00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:04.519
 in the holy place

00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:06.279
 to the most holy place

00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:07.199
 you were drawing

00:12:07.199 --> 00:12:08.459
 nearer and nearer

00:12:08.459 --> 00:12:08.959
 and nearer

00:12:08.959 --> 00:12:09.779
 to the presence

00:12:09.779 --> 00:12:10.519
 of God

00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:12.379
 among his people

00:12:12.379 --> 00:12:14.419
 but there were

00:12:14.419 --> 00:12:15.259
 fewer and fewer

00:12:15.259 --> 00:12:16.240
 people who could

00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:16.859
 go there

00:12:16.860 --> 00:12:18.220
 and the high priest

00:12:18.220 --> 00:12:18.659
 in fact

00:12:18.659 --> 00:12:20.080
 according to Leviticus 16

00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:21.180
 was the one

00:12:21.180 --> 00:12:21.779
 who would go

00:12:21.779 --> 00:12:23.120
 into the very

00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:25.139
 the most holy place

00:12:25.139 --> 00:12:26.399
 the holy of holies

00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:27.779
 once a year

00:12:27.779 --> 00:12:30.000
 only once

00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:30.960
 and he would go in

00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:31.759
 with a sacrifice

00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:33.200
 for his own sin

00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:34.279
 and he would go in

00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:35.100
 for a sacrifice

00:12:35.100 --> 00:12:37.500
 for the people

00:12:37.500 --> 00:12:38.060
 of God

00:12:38.060 --> 00:12:42.240
 and what

00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:43.360
 the writer of Hebrews

00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:44.100
 is saying is

00:12:44.100 --> 00:12:44.759
 do you remember

00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:45.779
 all this imagery

00:12:45.779 --> 00:12:47.500
 some of you

00:12:47.500 --> 00:12:48.039
 may be not

00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:48.779
 familiar with it

00:12:48.779 --> 00:12:50.039
 but this picture

00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:50.980
 is this one

00:12:50.980 --> 00:12:51.639
 who could go

00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:52.620
 all the way in

00:12:52.620 --> 00:12:53.939
 to the very place

00:12:53.939 --> 00:12:54.699
 where the glory

00:12:54.699 --> 00:12:55.100
 of God

00:12:55.100 --> 00:12:56.279
 dwelt among his people

00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:00.139
 and what the writer

00:13:00.139 --> 00:13:00.500
 of Hebrews

00:13:00.500 --> 00:13:01.059
 is saying is

00:13:01.059 --> 00:13:02.399
 Jesus has done

00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:03.360
 that for us

00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:06.319
 in a heavenly way

00:13:06.319 --> 00:13:07.839
 not on the earthly

00:13:07.839 --> 00:13:08.699
 temple

00:13:08.699 --> 00:13:10.899
 with the blood

00:13:10.899 --> 00:13:11.659
 of goats

00:13:11.659 --> 00:13:12.419
 and sheep

00:13:12.419 --> 00:13:13.519
 and doves

00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:14.559
 not with the goats

00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:15.259
 of animals

00:13:15.259 --> 00:13:17.120
 did he go in

00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:18.240
 but he went

00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:19.179
 this is the argument

00:13:19.179 --> 00:13:19.819
 that will come

00:13:19.819 --> 00:13:21.279
 he went into

00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:22.819
 a heavenly temple

00:13:22.819 --> 00:13:24.539
 into the very presence

00:13:24.539 --> 00:13:25.939
 of God himself

00:13:25.939 --> 00:13:28.319
 if you don't believe me

00:13:28.319 --> 00:13:30.319
 Hebrews 1.8

00:13:30.319 --> 00:13:31.059
 says this

00:13:31.059 --> 00:13:32.240
 now the point

00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:32.679
 in

00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:33.779
 what we are saying

00:13:33.779 --> 00:13:34.360
 is this

00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:35.340
 we have such

00:13:35.340 --> 00:13:36.200
 a high priest

00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:37.539
 one who is seated

00:13:37.539 --> 00:13:38.559
 at the right hand

00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:39.319
 of the throne

00:13:39.319 --> 00:13:40.120
 of the majesty

00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:41.080
 in heaven

00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:42.059
 so that's where

00:13:42.059 --> 00:13:42.679
 he's gone to

00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:43.899
 and then 9.24

00:13:43.899 --> 00:13:44.739
 says this

00:13:44.739 --> 00:13:46.039
 Christ has entered

00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:47.419
 not into holy places

00:13:47.419 --> 00:13:48.939
 made with hands

00:13:48.939 --> 00:13:50.039
 which are copies

00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:50.879
 of true things

00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:52.019
 but into heaven

00:13:52.019 --> 00:13:52.719
 itself

00:13:52.719 --> 00:13:54.299
 now to appear

00:13:54.299 --> 00:13:55.139
 in the presence

00:13:55.139 --> 00:13:55.939
 of God

00:13:55.939 --> 00:13:58.139
 on our behalf

00:13:58.139 --> 00:14:01.620
 and so when

00:14:01.620 --> 00:14:02.539
 he holds up

00:14:02.539 --> 00:14:03.000
 this picture

00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:03.399
 of Jesus

00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:04.019
 the high priest

00:14:04.019 --> 00:14:04.519
 he's saying

00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:05.799
 this is the one

00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:06.840
 who can take us

00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:08.259
 into the very presence

00:14:08.259 --> 00:14:09.740
 of God himself

00:14:09.740 --> 00:14:11.240
 this is the one

00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:12.439
 who can get us

00:14:12.439 --> 00:14:13.159
 in there

00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:15.939
 and

00:14:15.939 --> 00:14:17.159
 if you're reading this

00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:17.919
 for the first time

00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:18.399
 and you're going

00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:18.679
 okay

00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:19.439
 he says

00:14:19.439 --> 00:14:20.860
 we have a great high priest

00:14:20.860 --> 00:14:21.720
 who passed through the heavens

00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:22.580
 okay who is that

00:14:22.580 --> 00:14:23.639
 he clarifies it

00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:24.679
 he says it's Jesus

00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:25.759
 Jesus

00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:25.779
 Jesus

00:14:25.779 --> 00:14:27.039
 the name of the one

00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:28.379
 the name that means

00:14:28.379 --> 00:14:29.739
 the one who saves

00:14:29.739 --> 00:14:30.559
 Jesus

00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:31.759
 the man

00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:33.139
 who was born of Mary

00:14:33.139 --> 00:14:34.239
 and yet also

00:14:34.239 --> 00:14:35.299
 the son of God

00:14:35.299 --> 00:14:36.279
 and again

00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:37.239
 he will unpack

00:14:37.239 --> 00:14:38.439
 all of the significance

00:14:38.439 --> 00:14:39.059
 of these names

00:14:39.059 --> 00:14:40.659
 but what he's saying

00:14:40.659 --> 00:14:41.719
 is this high priest

00:14:41.719 --> 00:14:42.799
 is uniquely

00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:44.620
 situated

00:14:44.620 --> 00:14:45.259
 to do

00:14:45.259 --> 00:14:46.879
 this unique work

00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:48.939
 of restoring

00:14:48.939 --> 00:14:50.159
 access to God

00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:51.559
 for his people

00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:57.479
 so that's the first thing

00:14:57.479 --> 00:14:58.099
 we learn about

00:14:58.099 --> 00:14:59.459
 Jesus as a high priest

00:14:59.459 --> 00:15:00.259
 this morning

00:15:00.259 --> 00:15:01.839
 is that he's gone

00:15:01.839 --> 00:15:02.479
 into the heavens

00:15:02.479 --> 00:15:03.519
 and he's made a way

00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:04.139
 for us

00:15:04.139 --> 00:15:05.659
 we will see

00:15:05.659 --> 00:15:06.819
 later in Hebrews

00:15:06.819 --> 00:15:07.659
 in chapter 12

00:15:07.659 --> 00:15:08.639
 it will describe

00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:09.119
 Jesus

00:15:09.119 --> 00:15:10.379
 as the author

00:15:10.379 --> 00:15:11.179
 of our faith

00:15:11.179 --> 00:15:12.419
 in many of our translations

00:15:12.419 --> 00:15:13.879
 but this author

00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:14.539
 also means

00:15:14.539 --> 00:15:15.699
 the one who is initiated

00:15:15.699 --> 00:15:16.479
 or even

00:15:16.479 --> 00:15:17.779
 the champion

00:15:17.779 --> 00:15:18.619
 the one who has

00:15:18.619 --> 00:15:19.819
 gone before us

00:15:19.819 --> 00:15:20.779
 so that he might

00:15:20.779 --> 00:15:21.459
 bring us

00:15:21.460 --> 00:15:22.580
 in his train

00:15:22.580 --> 00:15:23.960
 in his victorious

00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:25.259
 train behind us

00:15:25.259 --> 00:15:26.460
 he has made

00:15:26.460 --> 00:15:27.080
 the way

00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:28.100
 through

00:15:28.100 --> 00:15:29.160
 and he is bringing

00:15:29.160 --> 00:15:30.259
 us with him

00:15:30.259 --> 00:15:33.780
 secondly

00:15:33.780 --> 00:15:36.460
 in verse 15

00:15:36.460 --> 00:15:38.080
 the writer of Hebrews

00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:38.460
 says

00:15:38.460 --> 00:15:38.879
 Jesus

00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:40.740
 is a high priest

00:15:40.740 --> 00:15:41.340
 who is able

00:15:41.340 --> 00:15:42.200
 to sympathize

00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:42.759
 with us

00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:44.320
 in our weakness

00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:45.639
 it says

00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:46.340
 he was tempted

00:15:46.340 --> 00:15:47.340
 in every way

00:15:47.340 --> 00:15:48.200
 just as we are

00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:49.400
 yet without sin

00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:51.799
 this is a part

00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:52.559
 of his humanity

00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:53.100
 as he took

00:15:53.100 --> 00:15:53.639
 on flesh

00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:54.079
 and blood

00:15:54.079 --> 00:15:54.779
 that he would

00:15:54.779 --> 00:15:55.480
 experience

00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:56.139
 the weakness

00:15:56.139 --> 00:15:57.039
 of humanity

00:15:57.039 --> 00:15:58.699
 our human frailty

00:15:58.699 --> 00:15:59.779
 our need

00:15:59.779 --> 00:16:00.459
 for food

00:16:00.459 --> 00:16:01.340
 and clothing

00:16:01.340 --> 00:16:02.340
 and sleep

00:16:02.340 --> 00:16:04.779
 our lack

00:16:04.779 --> 00:16:06.220
 of knowledge

00:16:06.220 --> 00:16:07.299
 about all things

00:16:07.299 --> 00:16:08.019
 everywhere

00:16:08.019 --> 00:16:10.360
 Jesus submitted

00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:10.840
 himself

00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:11.860
 to taking

00:16:11.860 --> 00:16:12.939
 on human flesh

00:16:12.939 --> 00:16:14.279
 so that he might

00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:15.519
 sympathize with us

00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:16.399
 in our weakness

00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:22.000
 it says

00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:22.459
 that he was

00:16:22.459 --> 00:16:22.959
 tempted

00:16:22.959 --> 00:16:24.439
 in every way

00:16:24.439 --> 00:16:25.779
 just as we are

00:16:25.779 --> 00:16:28.079
 I want to think

00:16:28.079 --> 00:16:28.500
 about that

00:16:28.500 --> 00:16:29.220
 for a few minutes

00:16:29.220 --> 00:16:29.879
 this morning

00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:30.699
 what does it mean

00:16:30.699 --> 00:16:31.139
 that he was

00:16:31.139 --> 00:16:31.679
 tempted

00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:33.579
 James tells us

00:16:33.579 --> 00:16:34.439
 that a temptation

00:16:34.439 --> 00:16:35.459
 is like

00:16:35.459 --> 00:16:36.620
 a juicy

00:16:36.620 --> 00:16:37.299
 worm

00:16:37.299 --> 00:16:38.100
 on a hook

00:16:38.100 --> 00:16:39.340
 that is pulled

00:16:39.340 --> 00:16:40.100
 in front of

00:16:40.100 --> 00:16:40.679
 the trout

00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:41.899
 hiding in the fish

00:16:41.899 --> 00:16:43.439
 hiding in the weeds

00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:45.220
 and that meal

00:16:45.220 --> 00:16:45.860
 that is coming

00:16:45.860 --> 00:16:46.220
 by

00:16:46.220 --> 00:16:47.680
 looks so enticing

00:16:47.680 --> 00:16:49.120
 so desirable

00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:50.300
 so juicy

00:16:50.300 --> 00:16:53.260
 that we bite

00:16:53.260 --> 00:16:54.420
 and we fall

00:16:54.420 --> 00:16:54.960
 into sin

00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:56.480
 when we take

00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:57.160
 hold of that

00:16:57.160 --> 00:16:58.360
 which we ought

00:16:58.360 --> 00:16:59.080
 not to do

00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:00.680
 and it pulls

00:17:00.680 --> 00:17:01.280
 us away

00:17:01.280 --> 00:17:04.380
 that is what

00:17:04.380 --> 00:17:04.940
 temptation

00:17:04.940 --> 00:17:05.559
 biblically

00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:05.940
 that is what

00:17:05.940 --> 00:17:06.519
 the dynamic

00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:07.200
 of temptation

00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:07.440
 is

00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:07.940
 there is

00:17:07.940 --> 00:17:08.500
 something out

00:17:08.500 --> 00:17:08.860
 there and it

00:17:08.860 --> 00:17:09.660
 looks good

00:17:09.660 --> 00:17:11.620
 but it is not

00:17:11.619 --> 00:17:13.299
 and when we

00:17:13.299 --> 00:17:14.019
 act on it

00:17:14.019 --> 00:17:15.000
 when we respond

00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:15.339
 to it

00:17:15.339 --> 00:17:16.019
 we sin

00:17:16.019 --> 00:17:18.879
 and Jesus

00:17:18.879 --> 00:17:19.539
 says

00:17:19.539 --> 00:17:21.199
 the writer of

00:17:21.199 --> 00:17:21.719
 Hebrews says

00:17:21.719 --> 00:17:22.339
 that Jesus

00:17:22.339 --> 00:17:24.619
 felt the power

00:17:24.619 --> 00:17:25.819
 of the temptation

00:17:25.819 --> 00:17:28.319
 like we did

00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:30.359
 yet he never

00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:30.759
 bit

00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:32.379
 how is that

00:17:32.379 --> 00:17:32.879
 possible

00:17:32.879 --> 00:17:34.319
 I'm wondering

00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:34.839
 if some of you

00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:35.459
 are thinking that

00:17:35.459 --> 00:17:36.239
 I know I thought

00:17:36.239 --> 00:17:37.000
 that as I've

00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:38.079
 studied this past

00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:39.139
 how is it possible

00:17:39.139 --> 00:17:40.199
 that Jesus knows

00:17:40.199 --> 00:17:40.799
 the things that

00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:41.459
 I'm tempted

00:17:41.460 --> 00:17:41.819
 by

00:17:41.819 --> 00:17:42.680
 he's never

00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:43.360
 seen an Oreo

00:17:43.360 --> 00:17:43.740
 cookie

00:17:43.740 --> 00:17:50.340
 how is it

00:17:50.340 --> 00:17:50.960
 possible that

00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:51.440
 he could be

00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:52.319
 tempted as

00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:52.840
 we are

00:17:52.840 --> 00:17:54.180
 well

00:17:54.180 --> 00:17:55.620
 it's one of

00:17:55.620 --> 00:17:55.940
 the reasons

00:17:55.940 --> 00:17:56.640
 why we read

00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:57.480
 Matthew 4

00:17:57.480 --> 00:17:58.360
 this morning

00:17:58.360 --> 00:17:59.920
 because when

00:17:59.920 --> 00:18:00.759
 we look back

00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:01.700
 at the story

00:18:01.700 --> 00:18:02.100
 of Jesus

00:18:02.100 --> 00:18:02.740
 temptation

00:18:02.740 --> 00:18:03.460
 in the wilderness

00:18:03.460 --> 00:18:04.100
 at the beginning

00:18:04.100 --> 00:18:04.920
 of his ministry

00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:06.120
 do you remember

00:18:06.120 --> 00:18:07.559
 what happened

00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:10.079
 after 40 days

00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:10.720
 of fasting

00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:11.700
 Satan showed

00:18:11.700 --> 00:18:12.059
 up

00:18:12.059 --> 00:18:13.799
 and here

00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:14.779
 the Son of God

00:18:14.779 --> 00:18:15.680
 having just been

00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:16.259
 baptized

00:18:16.259 --> 00:18:17.700
 having just had

00:18:17.700 --> 00:18:18.819
 this divine

00:18:18.819 --> 00:18:21.579
 acclamation

00:18:21.579 --> 00:18:22.759
 of this is my

00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:23.240
 son

00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:24.380
 listen to him

00:18:24.380 --> 00:18:25.779
 this is the one

00:18:25.779 --> 00:18:26.880
 whom I've sent

00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:28.500
 right after that

00:18:28.500 --> 00:18:29.059
 he goes off

00:18:29.059 --> 00:18:29.579
 in the wilderness

00:18:29.579 --> 00:18:30.180
 and Satan

00:18:30.180 --> 00:18:30.940
 comes

00:18:30.940 --> 00:18:33.920
 and what he does

00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:34.799
 is he says

00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:36.340
 if you're the

00:18:36.340 --> 00:18:36.960
 Son of God

00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:38.019
 why don't you

00:18:38.019 --> 00:18:38.960
 use that

00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:41.660
 for your own

00:18:41.660 --> 00:18:42.019
 good

00:18:42.019 --> 00:18:43.620
 rather than

00:18:43.620 --> 00:18:44.340
 submitting to

00:18:44.340 --> 00:18:45.080
 God and his

00:18:45.080 --> 00:18:46.200
 plan for you

00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:48.100
 why don't you

00:18:48.100 --> 00:18:49.940
 choose

00:18:49.940 --> 00:18:52.120
 something that

00:18:52.120 --> 00:18:52.920
 looks really

00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:53.279
 good

00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:53.860
 in fact it

00:18:53.860 --> 00:18:54.480
 might even be

00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:55.160
 something that you

00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:55.759
 think God has

00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:56.460
 promised you

00:18:56.460 --> 00:18:58.059
 but you're

00:18:58.059 --> 00:18:58.640
 going to accomplish

00:18:58.640 --> 00:18:59.380
 it outside

00:18:59.380 --> 00:19:00.200
 of God's

00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:00.660
 plan

00:19:00.660 --> 00:19:01.960
 for you

00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:05.940
 the question

00:19:05.940 --> 00:19:06.860
 when temptation

00:19:06.860 --> 00:19:08.319
 faces us

00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:08.920
 fundamentally

00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:09.640
 is usually

00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:10.039
 this

00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:11.019
 do we trust

00:19:11.019 --> 00:19:11.579
 God

00:19:11.579 --> 00:19:13.799
 or do we

00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:14.120
 do it

00:19:14.120 --> 00:19:14.740
 ourselves

00:19:14.740 --> 00:19:16.500
 wasn't this

00:19:16.500 --> 00:19:17.220
 the very

00:19:17.220 --> 00:19:17.819
 temptation

00:19:17.819 --> 00:19:18.500
 that came

00:19:18.500 --> 00:19:19.140
 that Satan

00:19:19.140 --> 00:19:19.880
 brought first

00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:20.819
 into the

00:19:20.819 --> 00:19:21.400
 Garden of Eden

00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:22.059
 at the beginning

00:19:22.059 --> 00:19:23.700
 did God

00:19:23.700 --> 00:19:24.519
 really say

00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:24.980
 this

00:19:24.980 --> 00:19:27.480
 do you

00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:27.799
 think he

00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:28.420
 really has

00:19:28.420 --> 00:19:28.799
 your good

00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:29.299
 at heart

00:19:29.299 --> 00:19:30.859
 no do it

00:19:30.859 --> 00:19:31.259
 yourself

00:19:31.259 --> 00:19:31.879
 take hold

00:19:31.879 --> 00:19:32.220
 of that

00:19:32.220 --> 00:19:32.619
 fruit

00:19:32.619 --> 00:19:34.339
 become like

00:19:34.339 --> 00:19:34.599
 God

00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:35.240
 yourself

00:19:35.240 --> 00:19:40.420
 friends

00:19:40.420 --> 00:19:41.079
 this is the

00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:42.200
 very core

00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:43.460
 of temptation

00:19:43.460 --> 00:19:44.099
 and Jesus

00:19:44.099 --> 00:19:44.799
 faced it

00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:45.980
 much greater

00:19:45.980 --> 00:19:46.639
 than we

00:19:46.639 --> 00:19:46.920
 did

00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:50.700
 because a

00:19:50.700 --> 00:19:51.160
 temptation

00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:51.619
 is a

00:19:51.619 --> 00:19:52.079
 temptation

00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:52.960
 only when

00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:53.519
 it has

00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:54.500
 actual

00:19:54.500 --> 00:19:55.539
 attractiveness

00:19:55.539 --> 00:19:56.240
 to us

00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:56.859
 Jesus

00:19:56.859 --> 00:19:57.279
 probably

00:19:57.279 --> 00:19:57.599
 isn't

00:19:57.599 --> 00:19:57.900
 tempted

00:19:57.900 --> 00:19:58.299
 by an

00:19:58.299 --> 00:19:58.519
 Oreo

00:19:58.519 --> 00:19:58.900
 cookie

00:19:58.900 --> 00:19:59.420
 even if

00:19:59.420 --> 00:19:59.779
 he saw

00:19:59.779 --> 00:20:00.119
 one

00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:01.680
 it just

00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:02.140
 wouldn't be

00:20:02.140 --> 00:20:02.740
 a temptation

00:20:02.740 --> 00:20:03.220
 for him

00:20:03.220 --> 00:20:03.660
 to find

00:20:03.660 --> 00:20:04.299
 his solace

00:20:04.299 --> 00:20:04.579
 and his

00:20:04.579 --> 00:20:04.980
 comfort

00:20:04.980 --> 00:20:05.680
 and his

00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:05.980
 hope

00:20:05.980 --> 00:20:06.759
 in an

00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:07.000
 Oreo

00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:07.400
 cookie

00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:09.200
 okay

00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:10.779
 but

00:20:10.779 --> 00:20:12.279
 Satan

00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:12.819
 came

00:20:12.819 --> 00:20:13.460
 and he

00:20:13.460 --> 00:20:13.980
 tempted him

00:20:13.980 --> 00:20:14.359
 with the

00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:14.859
 things

00:20:14.859 --> 00:20:15.859
 that Jesus

00:20:15.859 --> 00:20:16.559
 cared about

00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:17.299
 the most

00:20:17.299 --> 00:20:19.420
 the things

00:20:19.420 --> 00:20:20.119
 that were

00:20:20.119 --> 00:20:20.700
 dearest

00:20:20.700 --> 00:20:21.339
 to his

00:20:21.339 --> 00:20:21.720
 heart

00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:24.579
 and

00:20:24.579 --> 00:20:27.079
 by

00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:27.620
 analogy

00:20:27.620 --> 00:20:29.500
 a

00:20:29.500 --> 00:20:30.019
 temptation

00:20:30.019 --> 00:20:31.039
 is only

00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:31.600
 as powerful

00:20:31.600 --> 00:20:31.960
 when it

00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:32.360
 has the

00:20:32.360 --> 00:20:32.880
 force to

00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:33.380
 potentially

00:20:33.380 --> 00:20:34.059
 move you

00:20:34.059 --> 00:20:34.660
 somewhere

00:20:34.660 --> 00:20:35.920
 so if

00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:36.259
 you're a

00:20:36.259 --> 00:20:36.900
 beach ball

00:20:36.900 --> 00:20:37.720
 on the

00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:38.019
 beach

00:20:38.019 --> 00:20:38.360
 and a

00:20:38.360 --> 00:20:38.579
 wave

00:20:38.579 --> 00:20:39.180
 comes in

00:20:39.180 --> 00:20:39.640
 it doesn't

00:20:39.640 --> 00:20:39.940
 take a

00:20:39.940 --> 00:20:40.319
 very big

00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:40.700
 wave

00:20:40.700 --> 00:20:41.480
 to knock

00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:42.000
 that beach

00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:42.319
 ball

00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:43.059
 across the

00:20:43.059 --> 00:20:43.279
 beach

00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:43.720
 does it

00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:48.700
 but once

00:20:48.700 --> 00:20:49.100
 you've

00:20:49.100 --> 00:20:49.539
 been

00:20:49.539 --> 00:20:49.940
 blown

00:20:49.940 --> 00:20:50.720
 by that

00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:51.200
 wave

00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:51.839
 once

00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:52.019
 you've

00:20:52.019 --> 00:20:52.180
 been

00:20:52.180 --> 00:20:52.660
 pushed

00:20:52.660 --> 00:20:53.700
 you've

00:20:53.700 --> 00:20:53.920
 given

00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:54.220
 in

00:20:54.220 --> 00:20:54.860
 you've

00:20:54.860 --> 00:20:55.319
 succumbed

00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:55.539
 to the

00:20:55.539 --> 00:20:55.799
 force

00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:56.079
 of the

00:20:56.079 --> 00:20:56.579
 temptation

00:20:56.579 --> 00:20:57.039
 and it

00:20:57.039 --> 00:20:57.579
 no longer

00:20:57.579 --> 00:20:59.140
 now there's

00:20:59.140 --> 00:20:59.480
 no longer

00:20:59.480 --> 00:20:59.880
 temptation

00:20:59.880 --> 00:21:00.240
 you've

00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:00.620
 just been

00:21:00.620 --> 00:21:01.000
 overcome

00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:01.819
 by it

00:21:01.819 --> 00:21:04.900
 but imagine

00:21:04.900 --> 00:21:06.160
 if you

00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:06.759
 were a

00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:07.360
 soccer ball

00:21:07.360 --> 00:21:08.579
 and then

00:21:08.579 --> 00:21:09.059
 a bowling

00:21:09.059 --> 00:21:09.400
 ball

00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:10.200
 the waves

00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:10.519
 have to

00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:11.000
 get bigger

00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:11.539
 don't they

00:21:11.539 --> 00:21:12.160
 to actually

00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:12.500
 have the

00:21:12.500 --> 00:21:13.039
 power to

00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:13.539
 move you

00:21:13.539 --> 00:21:16.659
 Jesus is

00:21:16.659 --> 00:21:17.059
 the rock

00:21:17.059 --> 00:21:17.759
 of Gibraltar

00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:21.220
 imagine

00:21:21.220 --> 00:21:22.319
 the waves

00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:23.519
 it would

00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:23.960
 take

00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:26.240
 to have

00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:26.740
 the power

00:21:26.740 --> 00:21:27.519
 to potentially

00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:28.180
 move him

00:21:28.180 --> 00:21:30.759
 when it

00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:31.180
 says that

00:21:31.180 --> 00:21:31.519
 he was

00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:31.879
 tempted

00:21:31.879 --> 00:21:32.539
 in every

00:21:32.539 --> 00:21:32.879
 way

00:21:32.879 --> 00:21:33.299
 as we

00:21:33.299 --> 00:21:33.559
 are

00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:34.440
 we must

00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:34.960
 recognize

00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:35.460
 that

00:21:35.460 --> 00:21:36.299
 Jesus

00:21:36.299 --> 00:21:36.740
 was

00:21:36.740 --> 00:21:37.099
 tempted

00:21:37.099 --> 00:21:39.420
 at a

00:21:39.420 --> 00:21:39.960
 profound

00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:40.359
 level

00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:40.940
 that we

00:21:40.940 --> 00:21:41.619
 will never

00:21:41.619 --> 00:21:42.559
 experience

00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:44.679
 to not

00:21:44.679 --> 00:21:45.039
 trust

00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:45.519
 God

00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:47.740
 and to

00:21:47.740 --> 00:21:48.039
 do it

00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:48.419
 his own

00:21:48.419 --> 00:21:48.839
 way

00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:55.099
 so Jesus

00:21:55.099 --> 00:21:55.559
 does

00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:55.919
 know

00:21:55.919 --> 00:21:57.319
 our

00:21:57.319 --> 00:21:58.059
 temptations

00:21:58.059 --> 00:21:59.919
 he knows

00:21:59.919 --> 00:22:01.240
 when you're

00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:01.619
 angry

00:22:01.619 --> 00:22:02.259
 at your

00:22:02.259 --> 00:22:02.619
 kids

00:22:02.619 --> 00:22:02.980
 because

00:22:02.980 --> 00:22:03.240
 they're

00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:03.460
 not

00:22:03.460 --> 00:22:03.839
 doing

00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:04.079
 what

00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:04.319
 you've

00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:04.559
 asked

00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:04.799
 them

00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:05.039
 to

00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:05.440
 do

00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:08.480
 and you've

00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:08.960
 lost sight

00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:09.519
 of trusting

00:22:09.519 --> 00:22:10.420
 God's plan

00:22:10.420 --> 00:22:11.140
 for you

00:22:11.140 --> 00:22:11.400
 and your

00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:11.940
 patient

00:22:11.940 --> 00:22:13.120
 correction

00:22:13.120 --> 00:22:14.500
 discipline

00:22:14.500 --> 00:22:15.340
 instruction

00:22:15.340 --> 00:22:15.779
 of your

00:22:15.779 --> 00:22:16.120
 children

00:22:16.120 --> 00:22:20.400
 he actually

00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:21.000
 knows

00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:22.500
 when pornography

00:22:22.500 --> 00:22:23.380
 seems like a

00:22:23.380 --> 00:22:24.160
 pretty good way

00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:25.500
 to find comfort

00:22:25.500 --> 00:22:26.320
 and solace

00:22:26.320 --> 00:22:27.180
 in your loneliness

00:22:27.180 --> 00:22:28.440
 and in your

00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:28.900
 desire

00:22:28.900 --> 00:22:31.740
 when you

00:22:31.740 --> 00:22:32.279
 don't trust

00:22:32.279 --> 00:22:32.799
 God to

00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:33.420
 provide for

00:22:33.420 --> 00:22:33.660
 you

00:22:33.660 --> 00:22:35.580
 you don't

00:22:35.580 --> 00:22:36.100
 trust God

00:22:36.100 --> 00:22:36.600
 to meet

00:22:36.600 --> 00:22:36.880
 you

00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:38.240
 in intimacy

00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:43.500
 he understands

00:22:43.500 --> 00:22:43.960
 when

00:22:43.960 --> 00:22:45.060
 faithfulness

00:22:45.060 --> 00:22:45.860
 to Christ

00:22:45.860 --> 00:22:47.920
 seems to

00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:48.259
 hinder

00:22:48.259 --> 00:22:49.279
 your career

00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:49.799
 path

00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:52.460
 your way

00:22:52.460 --> 00:22:52.779
 up the

00:22:52.779 --> 00:22:53.100
 ladder

00:22:53.099 --> 00:22:57.279
 he understands

00:22:57.279 --> 00:22:59.359
 the power

00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:00.099
 of the

00:23:00.099 --> 00:23:00.559
 temptation

00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:01.059
 to not

00:23:01.059 --> 00:23:01.399
 trust

00:23:01.399 --> 00:23:01.799
 God

00:23:01.799 --> 00:23:03.519
 that

00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:04.339
 following

00:23:04.339 --> 00:23:04.679
 him

00:23:04.679 --> 00:23:05.000
 will

00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:05.619
 actually

00:23:05.619 --> 00:23:06.039
 result

00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:06.519
 in good

00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:08.399
 he

00:23:08.399 --> 00:23:09.219
 understands

00:23:09.219 --> 00:23:11.500
 the

00:23:11.500 --> 00:23:11.980
 temptation

00:23:11.980 --> 00:23:12.359
 to be

00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:12.759
 silent

00:23:12.759 --> 00:23:13.139
 about

00:23:13.139 --> 00:23:13.399
 your

00:23:13.399 --> 00:23:13.819
 faith

00:23:13.819 --> 00:23:15.639
 because

00:23:15.639 --> 00:23:15.859
 you

00:23:15.859 --> 00:23:16.099
 long

00:23:16.099 --> 00:23:16.399
 to be

00:23:16.399 --> 00:23:16.839
 accepted

00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:18.759
 by your

 school

00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:19.519
 friends

00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:20.500
 by your

00:23:20.500 --> 00:23:20.799
 boss

00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:21.299
 at work

00:23:21.299 --> 00:23:22.619
 by the

00:23:22.619 --> 00:23:23.039
 academy

00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:26.480
 when you

00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:26.720
 don't

00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:27.119
 trust

00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:27.359
 that

00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:27.899
 God

00:23:27.899 --> 00:23:28.700
 will

00:23:28.700 --> 00:23:29.220
 protect

00:23:29.220 --> 00:23:29.480
 and

00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:30.039
 provide

 they

00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:32.319
 are

 him

00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:35.319
 he

00:23:35.319 --> 00:23:35.839
 understands

00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:36.059
 the

00:23:36.059 --> 00:23:36.519
 temptation

00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:36.839
 to be

00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:37.659
 a workaholic

00:23:37.659 --> 00:23:40.240

00:23:50.259 --> 00:23:50.619
 got

00:23:50.619 --> 00:23:52.079
 the oil

00:24:17.719 --> 00:24:17.939
 of

00:24:17.939 --> 00:24:18.079
 your

00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:18.479
 work

00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:19.519
 is

00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:19.779
 his

00:24:19.779 --> 00:24:20.380
 gracious

00:24:20.380 --> 00:24:20.740
 gift

00:24:20.740 --> 00:24:20.940
 to

00:24:20.940 --> 00:24:21.240
 you

00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:24.259
 so

00:24:24.259 --> 00:24:24.599
 Jesus

00:24:24.599 --> 00:24:25.220
 does

00:24:25.220 --> 00:24:26.920
 sympathize

00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:28.180
 he

00:24:28.180 --> 00:24:29.019
 feels

00:24:29.019 --> 00:24:29.700
 as we

00:24:29.700 --> 00:24:30.120
 do

00:24:30.120 --> 00:24:31.059
 in our

00:24:31.059 --> 00:24:31.680
 weakness

00:24:31.680 --> 00:24:36.400
 friends

00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:37.039
 he

00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:37.380
 feels

00:24:37.380 --> 00:24:37.559
 it

00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:38.980
 most

00:24:38.980 --> 00:24:39.400
 because

00:24:39.400 --> 00:24:39.620
 we

00:24:39.620 --> 00:24:40.019
 know

00:24:40.019 --> 00:24:41.500
 Greg

00:24:41.500 --> 00:24:41.740
 will

00:24:41.740 --> 00:24:42.440
 unpack

00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:42.640
 this

00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:42.900
 much

00:24:42.900 --> 00:24:43.140
 more

00:24:43.140 --> 00:24:43.339
 but

00:24:43.339 --> 00:24:43.519
 he

00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:43.700
 will

00:24:43.700 --> 00:24:44.000
 feel

00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:44.160
 it

00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:44.519
 most

00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:45.180
 when

00:24:45.180 --> 00:24:45.299
 he

00:24:45.299 --> 00:24:45.839
 comes

00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:47.059
 on

00:24:47.059 --> 00:24:47.220
 his

00:24:47.220 --> 00:24:47.639
 knees

00:24:47.639 --> 00:24:47.980
 before

00:24:47.980 --> 00:24:48.180
 the

00:24:48.180 --> 00:24:48.480
 father

00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:48.639

00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:48.940
 garden

00:24:48.940 --> 00:24:49.099
 of

 gethsemane

00:24:49.700 --> 00:24:50.619
 says

00:24:50.619 --> 00:24:50.980
 father

00:24:50.980 --> 00:24:51.440

00:25:00.259 --> 00:25:00.660
 sees

00:25:00.660 --> 00:25:00.839
 the

00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:01.400

00:25:12.220 --> 00:25:14.620
 he

00:25:14.620 --> 00:25:14.799
 says

00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:14.980
 your

00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:21.740
 strength

00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:28.960
 him

00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:30.759
 because

00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:30.880
 I

00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:31.039
 don't

00:25:32.779 --> 00:25:33.140
 morning

00:25:33.140 --> 00:25:33.640
 I

00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:33.839
 don't

00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:34.100

 challenges

00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:35.240
 are

00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:35.519
 this

00:25:35.519 --> 00:25:35.880
 morning

00:25:35.880 --> 00:25:37.460
 and

00:25:37.460 --> 00:25:37.600
 I

00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:38.380
 I

00:25:38.380 --> 00:25:39.039
 understand

00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:41.220
 but

00:25:41.220 --> 00:25:41.319
 I

00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:41.460
 know

00:25:41.460 --> 00:25:41.640
 who

00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:42.039
 does

00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:45.139
 and

00:25:45.139 --> 00:25:45.659
 therefore

00:25:45.659 --> 00:25:47.899
 therefore

00:25:47.899 --> 00:25:48.980
 the writer

00:25:48.980 --> 00:25:49.399
 of Hebrews

00:25:49.399 --> 00:25:49.980
 goes on

00:25:49.980 --> 00:25:50.240
 and he

00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:50.440
 says

00:25:50.440 --> 00:25:50.720
 there are

00:25:50.720 --> 00:25:50.899
 two

00:25:50.899 --> 00:25:51.299
 things

00:25:51.299 --> 00:25:51.619
 that we

00:25:51.619 --> 00:25:51.859
 ought

00:25:51.859 --> 00:25:52.379
 to do

00:25:52.379 --> 00:25:52.899
 in

00:25:52.899 --> 00:25:53.159
 light

00:25:53.159 --> 00:25:53.339
 of

00:25:53.339 --> 00:25:53.700
 this

00:25:53.700 --> 00:25:55.579
 first

00:25:55.579 --> 00:25:55.779
 of

00:25:55.779 --> 00:25:56.099
 all

00:25:56.099 --> 00:25:56.619
 we

00:25:56.619 --> 00:25:56.700
 are

00:25:56.700 --> 00:25:56.819
 to

00:25:56.819 --> 00:25:57.220
 hold

00:25:57.220 --> 00:25:57.799
 fast

00:25:57.799 --> 00:25:58.119
 to

00:25:58.119 --> 00:25:58.339
 our

00:25:58.339 --> 00:25:58.960
 confession

00:25:58.960 --> 00:26:01.399
 remember

00:26:01.399 --> 00:26:01.759
 in the

00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:02.139
 context

00:26:02.139 --> 00:26:02.440
 of the

00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:02.659
 book

00:26:02.659 --> 00:26:02.859
 the

00:26:02.859 --> 00:26:03.200
 Hebrews

00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:03.480
 were

00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:04.059
 surrounded

00:26:04.059 --> 00:26:04.799
 or in

00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:05.059
 some

00:26:05.059 --> 00:26:05.339
 kind

00:26:05.339 --> 00:26:05.460
 of

00:26:05.460 --> 00:26:05.960
 context

00:26:05.960 --> 00:26:06.220
 where

00:26:06.220 --> 00:26:06.559
 people

00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:06.779
 were

00:26:06.779 --> 00:26:07.159
 tempted

00:26:07.159 --> 00:26:07.700
 to

00:26:07.700 --> 00:26:08.019
 turn

00:26:08.019 --> 00:26:08.539
 away

00:26:08.539 --> 00:26:08.819
 to

00:26:08.819 --> 00:26:09.079
 say

00:26:09.079 --> 00:26:09.460
 Jesus

00:26:09.460 --> 00:26:10.039
 isn't

00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:10.920
 the way

00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:11.200
 to

00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:11.460
 God

00:26:11.460 --> 00:26:11.880
 he

00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:12.299
 isn't

00:26:12.299 --> 00:26:12.500
 the

00:26:12.500 --> 00:26:12.740
 Savior

00:26:12.740 --> 00:26:13.079
 there's

00:26:13.079 --> 00:26:13.460
 another

00:26:13.460 --> 00:26:13.799
 way

00:26:13.799 --> 00:26:13.960
 to

00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:14.220
 do

00:26:14.220 --> 00:26:14.480
 it

00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:16.160
 because

00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:16.720
 following

00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:17.120
 Jesus

00:26:17.120 --> 00:26:17.860
 was going

00:26:17.860 --> 00:26:18.039
 to be

00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:18.960
 really costly

00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:19.600
 for them

00:26:19.600 --> 00:26:20.200
 it might

00:26:20.200 --> 00:26:20.519
 have been

00:26:20.519 --> 00:26:21.160
 martyrdom

00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:25.319
 and so

00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:25.819
 the writer

00:26:25.819 --> 00:26:26.220
 says

00:26:26.220 --> 00:26:26.600
 let us

00:26:26.600 --> 00:26:27.299
 hold fast

00:26:27.299 --> 00:26:27.680
 to our

00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:28.220
 confession

00:26:28.220 --> 00:26:29.079
 hold fast

00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:29.360
 to our

00:26:29.360 --> 00:26:29.779
 confession

00:26:29.779 --> 00:26:30.240
 this

 the

00:26:33.180 --> 00:26:33.380
 Son

 Jesus

00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:34.720
 is

 the

00:26:34.900 --> 00:26:35.440
 exact

00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:36.340
 representation

 Jesus

00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:40.360
 has

00:26:40.360 --> 00:26:40.640
 made

 sat

00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:43.340
 down

 Father

00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:45.420
 this

 Jesus

00:26:45.840 --> 00:26:46.100
 is

00:26:47.579 --> 00:26:47.920
 hope

00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:48.079
 our

00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:48.579
 champion

00:26:48.579 --> 00:26:49.559
 that

00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:49.759
 is

00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:49.980
 what

00:26:49.980 --> 00:26:50.279
 we

00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:50.960
 confess

00:26:50.960 --> 00:26:54.920
 the

00:26:54.920 --> 00:26:55.220
 Puritan

00:26:55.220 --> 00:26:55.579
 John

00:26:55.579 --> 00:26:55.940
 Owen

00:26:55.940 --> 00:26:56.380
 says

00:26:56.380 --> 00:26:56.579
 that

00:26:56.579 --> 00:26:56.779
 this

00:26:56.779 --> 00:26:57.740
 confession

00:26:57.740 --> 00:26:58.319
 of our

00:26:58.319 --> 00:26:58.620
 faith

00:26:58.620 --> 00:26:58.840
 has

00:26:58.840 --> 00:26:59.059
 two

00:26:59.059 --> 00:26:59.480
 parts

00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:00.299
 one

00:27:00.299 --> 00:27:00.480
 is

00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:00.640
 the

00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:01.019
 submission

00:27:01.019 --> 00:27:01.420
 of our

00:27:01.420 --> 00:27:01.799
 heart

00:27:01.799 --> 00:27:05.299
 it

00:27:05.299 --> 00:27:05.660
 makes us

00:27:05.660 --> 00:27:06.000
 ask the

00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:06.380
 question

00:27:06.380 --> 00:27:06.779
 is there

00:27:06.779 --> 00:27:07.160
 anything

00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:07.500
 this

00:27:07.500 --> 00:27:07.920
 morning

00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:10.600
 that you

00:27:10.600 --> 00:27:11.120
 have not

00:27:11.120 --> 00:27:11.700
 bowed

00:27:11.700 --> 00:27:12.519
 to the

00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:13.740
 rulership

00:27:13.740 --> 00:27:14.259
 of Christ

00:27:14.259 --> 00:27:14.600
 in your

00:27:14.600 --> 00:27:15.000
 life

00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:15.940
 is there

00:27:15.940 --> 00:27:16.420
 something

00:27:16.420 --> 00:27:17.000
 that you

00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:17.800
 are prizing

00:27:17.800 --> 00:27:18.240
 something

00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:18.720
 you are

00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:19.420
 cherishing

00:27:19.420 --> 00:27:20.180
 something

00:27:20.180 --> 00:27:20.740
 you are

00:27:20.740 --> 00:27:21.300
 loving

00:27:21.300 --> 00:27:22.420
 more than

00:27:22.420 --> 00:27:22.800
 Christ

00:27:22.800 --> 00:27:23.519
 himself

00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:26.039
 is it

00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:26.759
 a relationship

00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:27.940
 is it

 being

00:27:31.120 --> 00:27:31.620
 thought

00:27:31.620 --> 00:27:32.180
 well of

00:27:32.180 --> 00:27:33.000
 by others

00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:34.360
 is it

00:27:34.360 --> 00:27:34.900
 food

00:27:34.900 --> 00:27:37.200
 is it

00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:37.700

 whatever

00:27:40.620 --> 00:27:41.300
 it is

00:27:41.300 --> 00:27:42.360
 is there

00:27:42.360 --> 00:27:42.820
 something

00:27:42.820 --> 00:27:43.340
 there that

00:27:43.340 --> 00:27:43.720
 you have

00:27:43.720 --> 00:27:44.160
 not yet

 is there

00:27:48.140 --> 00:27:48.660
 some area

00:27:48.660 --> 00:27:48.880
 of your

00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:49.300
 life where

00:27:49.300 --> 00:27:49.460
 you are

00:27:49.460 --> 00:27:50.040
 not willing

00:27:50.040 --> 00:27:50.460
 to say

00:27:50.460 --> 00:27:51.740
 he is

00:27:51.740 --> 00:27:52.000
 the

00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:52.400
 Lord

00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:53.380
 he is

00:27:53.380 --> 00:27:53.620
 my

00:27:53.620 --> 00:27:54.060
 champion

00:27:54.060 --> 00:27:54.420
 and my

00:27:54.420 --> 00:27:54.780
 captain

00:27:54.780 --> 00:27:55.259
 and I

00:27:55.259 --> 00:27:55.519
 will

00:27:55.519 --> 00:27:56.240
 allow

00:27:56.240 --> 00:27:56.640
 him

00:27:56.640 --> 00:27:56.880
 to

00:27:56.880 --> 00:27:57.160
 lead

00:27:57.160 --> 00:27:57.360
 me

00:27:57.360 --> 00:27:57.519
 in

00:27:57.519 --> 00:27:57.900
 this

00:27:57.900 --> 00:28:01.160
 is there

00:28:01.160 --> 00:28:01.420
 a part

00:28:01.420 --> 00:28:01.660
 of your

00:28:01.660 --> 00:28:01.940
 life

00:28:01.940 --> 00:28:02.100
 where

00:28:02.100 --> 00:28:02.300
 you are

00:28:02.300 --> 00:28:02.740
 trying

00:28:02.740 --> 00:28:03.259
 to be

00:28:03.259 --> 00:28:03.700
 God

00:28:03.700 --> 00:28:04.740
 rather

00:28:04.740 --> 00:28:05.039
 than

00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:05.519
 submitting

00:28:05.519 --> 00:28:06.039
 to

00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:06.359
 him

00:28:06.359 --> 00:28:10.259
 the

00:28:10.259 --> 00:28:10.500
 second

00:28:10.500 --> 00:28:10.799
 part

00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:11.079
 John

00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:11.279
 Owen

00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:11.579
 says

00:28:11.579 --> 00:28:11.819
 is that

00:28:11.819 --> 00:28:11.980
 it is

00:28:11.980 --> 00:28:12.539
 not only

00:28:12.539 --> 00:28:12.779
 the

00:28:12.779 --> 00:28:13.120
 submission

00:28:13.120 --> 00:28:13.480
 of our

00:28:13.480 --> 00:28:13.819
 hearts

00:28:13.819 --> 00:28:14.519
 but it is

00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:14.680
 the

00:28:14.680 --> 00:28:15.180
 profession

00:28:15.180 --> 00:28:16.279
 of our

00:28:16.279 --> 00:28:16.740
 lips

00:28:16.740 --> 00:28:19.019
 this might

00:28:19.019 --> 00:28:19.539
 be a good

00:28:19.539 --> 00:28:21.039
 litmus test

00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:21.460
 do the

00:28:21.460 --> 00:28:21.900
 people

00:28:21.900 --> 00:28:22.839
 around you

00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:23.200
 know

00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:23.599
 that you

00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:23.940
 follow

00:28:23.940 --> 00:28:24.480
 Jesus

00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:26.359
 now look

00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:26.819
 we can be

00:28:26.819 --> 00:28:27.460
 obnoxious

00:28:27.460 --> 00:28:28.019
 about that

00:28:28.019 --> 00:28:28.559
 let's not

00:28:28.559 --> 00:28:28.799
 be

00:28:28.799 --> 00:28:29.200
 that is

00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:29.500
 just a

00:28:29.500 --> 00:28:29.779
 pain

00:28:29.779 --> 00:28:30.539
 it is

00:28:30.539 --> 00:28:30.759
 really

00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:31.279
 annoying

00:28:31.279 --> 00:28:32.380
 that is

00:28:32.380 --> 00:28:32.540
 not

00:28:32.540 --> 00:28:32.920
 helpful

00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:34.400
 but gosh

00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:35.200
 they ought

00:28:35.200 --> 00:28:35.620
 to know

00:28:35.620 --> 00:28:36.080
 that Jesus

00:28:36.080 --> 00:28:36.480
 is your

00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:36.840
 hope

00:28:36.840 --> 00:28:37.480
 they ought

00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:38.080
 to know

00:28:38.080 --> 00:28:38.780
 that Jesus

00:28:38.780 --> 00:28:39.180
 is your

00:28:39.180 --> 00:28:39.600
 life

00:28:39.600 --> 00:28:40.160
 they ought

00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:40.780
 to know

00:28:40.780 --> 00:28:42.100
 that following

00:28:42.100 --> 00:28:42.600
 him and

00:28:42.600 --> 00:28:43.340
 serving him

00:28:43.340 --> 00:28:44.040
 and worshipping

00:28:44.040 --> 00:28:45.180
 him is what

00:28:45.180 --> 00:28:45.680
 your whole

00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:46.500
 life is about

00:28:46.500 --> 00:28:47.360
 and in fact

00:28:47.360 --> 00:28:47.860
 it is him

00:28:47.860 --> 00:28:48.420
 that you go

00:28:48.420 --> 00:28:49.220
 to daily

00:28:49.220 --> 00:28:50.300
 for help

00:28:50.300 --> 00:28:51.500
 because you

00:28:51.500 --> 00:28:51.960
 need him

00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:53.040
 so desperately

00:28:53.040 --> 00:28:56.360
 friends

00:28:56.360 --> 00:28:57.040
 let us

00:28:57.040 --> 00:28:57.660
 loose

00:28:57.660 --> 00:28:58.360
 our lips

00:28:58.360 --> 00:29:00.720
 to speak

00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:01.200
 of him

00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:08.340
 I told

00:29:08.340 --> 00:29:08.580
 you I'd

00:29:08.580 --> 00:29:08.940
 come back

00:29:08.940 --> 00:29:09.120
 to

00:29:09.120 --> 00:29:09.440
 Johnny

00:29:09.440 --> 00:29:12.080
 I'm

00:29:12.080 --> 00:29:12.180
 going to

00:29:12.180 --> 00:29:12.519

 you a

00:29:12.799 --> 00:29:13.019
 paragraph

00:29:13.019 --> 00:29:13.460
 in her

00:29:13.460 --> 00:29:13.720
 book

00:29:13.720 --> 00:29:17.220
 I want

00:29:17.220 --> 00:29:17.420
 you to

00:29:17.420 --> 00:29:17.860
 look like

00:29:17.860 --> 00:29:18.620
 I want

00:29:18.620 --> 00:29:18.819
 you to

00:29:18.819 --> 00:29:19.080
 see what

00:29:19.080 --> 00:29:19.319
 it looks

00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:19.680
 like for

00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:20.220
 her to

00:29:20.220 --> 00:29:20.960
 hold fast

00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:21.299
 to her

00:29:21.299 --> 00:29:21.900
 confession

00:29:21.900 --> 00:29:24.319
 of faith

00:29:24.319 --> 00:29:25.180
 in the

00:29:25.180 --> 00:29:25.539
 face of

00:29:25.539 --> 00:29:25.980
 the trials

00:29:25.980 --> 00:29:26.380
 she's

00:29:26.380 --> 00:29:26.779
 facing

00:29:26.779 --> 00:29:28.460
 she says

00:29:28.460 --> 00:29:28.920
 yes I

00:29:28.920 --> 00:29:30.079
 pray that

00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:30.579
 my pain

00:29:30.579 --> 00:29:31.039
 might be

00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:31.599
 removed

00:29:31.599 --> 00:29:32.160
 that it

00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:32.799
 might cease

00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:34.019
 but more

00:29:34.019 --> 00:29:35.059
 so I

00:29:35.059 --> 00:29:35.500
 pray for

00:29:35.500 --> 00:29:36.019
 the strength

00:29:36.019 --> 00:29:36.500
 to bear

00:29:36.500 --> 00:29:36.660
 it

00:29:36.660 --> 00:29:37.019
 for the

00:29:37.019 --> 00:29:37.420
 grace

00:29:37.420 --> 00:29:38.079
 to benefit

00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:38.579
 from it

00:29:38.579 --> 00:29:40.180
 and the

00:29:40.180 --> 00:29:40.899
 devotion to

00:29:40.899 --> 00:29:41.500
 offer it

00:29:41.500 --> 00:29:41.920
 up to

00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:42.299
 God

00:29:42.299 --> 00:29:42.700
 as a

00:29:42.700 --> 00:29:43.139
 sacrifice

00:29:43.139 --> 00:29:44.160
 of praise

00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:46.079
 my strength

00:29:46.079 --> 00:29:46.599
 in prayer

00:29:46.599 --> 00:29:47.139
 these days

00:29:47.139 --> 00:29:47.839
 is scant

00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:48.599
 I'll confess

00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:48.980
 that

00:29:48.980 --> 00:29:50.240
 so for all

00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:50.920
 the concentration

00:29:50.920 --> 00:29:51.940
 I can muster

00:29:51.940 --> 00:29:52.359
 in prayer

00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:53.399
 I must not

00:29:53.399 --> 00:29:54.119
 dissipate it

00:29:54.119 --> 00:29:54.619
 in seeking

00:29:54.619 --> 00:29:55.759
 physical blessings

00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:56.480
 only

00:29:56.480 --> 00:29:58.019
 rather

00:29:58.019 --> 00:29:58.900
 I must

00:29:58.900 --> 00:29:59.480
 spend a good

00:29:59.480 --> 00:30:00.220
 portion of it

00:30:00.220 --> 00:30:01.180
 seeking spiritual

00:30:01.180 --> 00:30:01.779
 growth and

00:30:01.779 --> 00:30:02.539
 praying for

00:30:02.539 --> 00:30:03.900
 Christ's kingdom

00:30:03.900 --> 00:30:05.160
 to go forth

00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:06.039
 into this dark

00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:06.519
 world

00:30:06.519 --> 00:30:08.000
 for such

00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:08.500
 prayers

00:30:08.500 --> 00:30:09.279
 are a way

00:30:09.279 --> 00:30:09.859
 for me to

00:30:09.859 --> 00:30:10.519
 know God

00:30:10.519 --> 00:30:11.599
 and to know

00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:12.559
 him deeper

00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:13.480
 higher

00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:14.579
 richer

00:30:14.579 --> 00:30:15.420
 wider

00:30:15.420 --> 00:30:16.579
 and fuller

00:30:16.579 --> 00:30:18.480
 much fuller

00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:19.220
 than if I

00:30:19.220 --> 00:30:19.839
 comfortably

00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:20.819
 cruised

00:30:20.819 --> 00:30:21.619
 through life

00:30:21.619 --> 00:30:22.839
 in my

00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:23.240
 wheelchair

00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:30.640
 she's

00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:31.099
 continued

00:30:31.099 --> 00:30:31.839
 to look

00:30:31.839 --> 00:30:32.380
 to Jesus

00:30:32.380 --> 00:30:34.000
 and she

00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:34.579
 believes

00:30:34.579 --> 00:30:35.099
 that he

00:30:35.099 --> 00:30:36.160
 is the

00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:36.740
 one who

00:30:36.740 --> 00:30:38.279
 can help

00:30:38.279 --> 00:30:38.539
 her

00:30:38.539 --> 00:30:39.740
 and so

00:30:39.740 --> 00:30:40.599
 she confesses

00:30:40.599 --> 00:30:40.880
 that

00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:43.640
 she

00:30:43.640 --> 00:30:44.440
 does

00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:44.819
 ask

00:30:44.819 --> 00:30:45.400
 for help

00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:47.460
 she

00:30:47.460 --> 00:30:47.819
 asks

00:30:47.819 --> 00:30:48.140
 that her

00:30:48.140 --> 00:30:48.859
 circumstances

00:30:48.859 --> 00:30:49.839
 might change

00:30:49.839 --> 00:30:50.720
 but that

00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:51.039
 is not

00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:51.539
 her ultimate

00:30:51.539 --> 00:30:51.940
 goal

00:30:51.940 --> 00:30:52.579
 her ultimate

00:30:52.579 --> 00:30:53.039
 goal

00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:54.899
 is to

00:30:54.899 --> 00:30:55.519
 trust in

00:30:55.519 --> 00:30:56.099
 and exalt

00:30:56.099 --> 00:30:56.619
 this one

00:30:56.619 --> 00:30:56.980
 that she

00:30:56.980 --> 00:30:57.500
 serves

00:30:57.500 --> 00:31:01.500
 the second

00:31:01.500 --> 00:31:02.339
 exhortation

00:31:02.339 --> 00:31:02.920
 is in

00:31:02.920 --> 00:31:04.299
 verse 16

00:31:04.299 --> 00:31:04.680
 of our

00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:05.299
 passage this

00:31:05.299 --> 00:31:05.519
 morning

00:31:05.519 --> 00:31:06.059
 look with me

00:31:06.059 --> 00:31:06.399
 again

00:31:06.399 --> 00:31:07.879
 let us

00:31:07.879 --> 00:31:08.399
 then with

00:31:08.399 --> 00:31:09.159
 confidence

00:31:09.159 --> 00:31:09.839
 draw near

00:31:09.839 --> 00:31:10.200
 to the

00:31:10.200 --> 00:31:10.519
 throne of

00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:10.819
 grace

00:31:10.819 --> 00:31:11.139
 that we

00:31:11.139 --> 00:31:11.720
 may receive

00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:12.200
 mercy

00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:13.299
 and find

00:31:13.299 --> 00:31:13.899
 grace to

00:31:13.899 --> 00:31:14.240
 help

00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:15.720
 in time

00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:16.480
 of need

00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:19.440
 friends

00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:19.799
 remember

00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:20.079
 in the

00:31:20.079 --> 00:31:20.360
 temple

00:31:20.360 --> 00:31:20.960
 only one

00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:21.220
 man

00:31:21.220 --> 00:31:21.799
 could go

00:31:21.799 --> 00:31:22.500
 into the

00:31:22.500 --> 00:31:22.900
 holy of

00:31:22.900 --> 00:31:23.400
 holies

00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:24.140
 only one

00:31:24.140 --> 00:31:24.579
 man could

00:31:24.579 --> 00:31:25.160
 go once

00:31:25.160 --> 00:31:25.480
 a year

00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:25.720
 and he

00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:25.980
 went

00:31:25.980 --> 00:31:26.620
 trembling

00:31:26.620 --> 00:31:27.460
 because

00:31:27.460 --> 00:31:28.259
 he knew

00:31:28.259 --> 00:31:28.660
 he had

00:31:28.660 --> 00:31:29.180
 sin on

00:31:29.180 --> 00:31:29.640
 his hands

00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:29.880
 and that

00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:30.099
 he had

00:31:30.099 --> 00:31:30.400
 to make

00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:31.279
 an offering

00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:31.920
 in fact

00:31:31.920 --> 00:31:32.279
 they tied

00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:32.700
 a rope

00:31:32.700 --> 00:31:33.220
 around him

00:31:33.220 --> 00:31:33.620
 because if

00:31:33.620 --> 00:31:34.000
 he went

00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:34.660
 in and

00:31:34.660 --> 00:31:35.160
 the offering

00:31:35.160 --> 00:31:35.680
 was not

00:31:35.680 --> 00:31:36.120
 acceptable

00:31:36.120 --> 00:31:36.519
 to God

00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:36.839
 he would

00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:37.240
 die

00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:37.640
 and no

00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:37.759
 one

00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:38.099
 could go

00:31:38.099 --> 00:31:38.339
 in to

00:31:38.339 --> 00:31:38.700
 get him

00:31:38.700 --> 00:31:39.319
 so they

00:31:39.319 --> 00:31:39.680
 pulled

00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:40.000
 him out

00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:40.319
 with a

00:31:40.319 --> 00:31:40.620
 rope

00:31:40.620 --> 00:31:42.500
 there's no

00:31:42.500 --> 00:31:42.960
 record that

00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:43.860
 that ever

00:31:43.860 --> 00:31:44.259
 happened

00:31:44.259 --> 00:31:44.599
 but

00:31:44.599 --> 00:31:45.459
 they tied

00:31:45.459 --> 00:31:45.819
 a rope

00:31:45.819 --> 00:31:46.240
 around his

00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:46.519
 ankle

00:31:46.519 --> 00:31:46.839
 so they

00:31:46.839 --> 00:31:47.219
 could pull

00:31:47.219 --> 00:31:47.699
 his body

00:31:47.699 --> 00:31:47.980
 out

00:31:47.980 --> 00:31:48.619
 if the

00:31:48.619 --> 00:31:48.980
 glory

00:31:48.980 --> 00:31:49.439
 of God

00:31:49.439 --> 00:31:50.159
 fell upon

00:31:50.159 --> 00:31:50.379
 him

00:31:50.379 --> 00:31:50.919
 in judgment

00:31:50.919 --> 00:31:51.459
 in that

00:31:51.459 --> 00:31:53.219
 and now

00:31:53.219 --> 00:31:54.159
 because we

00:31:54.159 --> 00:31:54.500
 have a

00:31:54.500 --> 00:31:55.099
 great high

00:31:55.099 --> 00:31:55.519
 priest

00:31:55.519 --> 00:31:55.879
 who has

00:31:55.879 --> 00:31:56.240
 gone

00:31:56.240 --> 00:31:56.959
 before us

00:31:56.959 --> 00:31:57.539
 who has

00:31:57.539 --> 00:31:58.079
 made a

00:31:58.079 --> 00:31:58.559
 way for

00:31:58.559 --> 00:31:58.959
 us

00:31:58.959 --> 00:32:01.179
 now we

00:32:01.179 --> 00:32:02.159
 can approach

00:32:02.159 --> 00:32:03.119
 not the

00:32:03.119 --> 00:32:03.859
 mercy seat

00:32:03.859 --> 00:32:04.279
 that needs

00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:04.559
 to be

00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:04.819
 covered

00:32:04.819 --> 00:32:05.480
 with blood

00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:06.539
 that has

00:32:06.539 --> 00:32:07.259
 been satisfied

00:32:07.259 --> 00:32:08.000
 by Christ

00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:08.519
 and stick

00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:08.980
 around for

00:32:08.980 --> 00:32:09.219
 the next

00:32:09.219 --> 00:32:09.599
 couple of

00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:09.799
 months

00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:10.099
 and you'll

00:32:10.099 --> 00:32:10.559
 see how

00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:11.439
 rich and

00:32:11.439 --> 00:32:12.000
 true that

00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:12.519
 is as we

00:32:12.519 --> 00:32:13.299
 explore that

00:32:13.299 --> 00:32:15.240
 but it's

00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:15.619
 a throne

00:32:15.619 --> 00:32:16.339
 of grace

00:32:16.339 --> 00:32:18.019
 and we

00:32:18.019 --> 00:32:18.659
 go before

00:32:18.659 --> 00:32:19.180
 the God

00:32:19.180 --> 00:32:19.460
 of the

00:32:19.460 --> 00:32:19.919
 universe

00:32:19.919 --> 00:32:20.339
 and he's

00:32:20.339 --> 00:32:21.159
 saying I

00:32:21.159 --> 00:32:21.680
 am here

00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:22.180
 to give

00:32:22.180 --> 00:32:23.159
 you grace

00:32:23.159 --> 00:32:23.859
 that is

00:32:23.859 --> 00:32:24.700
 undeserved

00:32:24.700 --> 00:32:25.319
 favor

00:32:25.319 --> 00:32:26.240
 help

00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:27.299
 mercy

00:32:27.299 --> 00:32:29.720
 that is

00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:30.319
 why I'm

00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:30.700
 here

00:32:30.700 --> 00:32:33.079
 and friends

00:32:33.079 --> 00:32:33.579
 certainly

00:32:33.579 --> 00:32:34.440
 this refers

00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:35.180
 to the

00:32:35.180 --> 00:32:35.759
 mercy and

00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:36.220
 grace

00:32:36.220 --> 00:32:37.359
 of salvation

00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:38.819
 that Christ

00:32:38.819 --> 00:32:39.519
 died for

00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:40.240
 sinners like

00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:40.659
 you and

00:32:40.659 --> 00:32:41.019
 me and

00:32:41.019 --> 00:32:41.500
 rose from

00:32:41.500 --> 00:32:41.919
 the dead

00:32:41.919 --> 00:32:42.419
 so that we

00:32:42.419 --> 00:32:42.819
 might be

00:32:42.819 --> 00:32:43.259
 forgiven

00:32:43.259 --> 00:32:43.680
 of that

00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:44.180
 sin

00:32:44.180 --> 00:32:45.539
 and receive

00:32:45.539 --> 00:32:46.599
 the grace

00:32:46.599 --> 00:32:47.079
 of new

00:32:47.079 --> 00:32:47.720
 life and

00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:48.119
 forgiveness

00:32:48.119 --> 00:32:48.859
 in Christ

00:32:48.859 --> 00:32:51.779
 but I

00:32:51.779 --> 00:32:52.420
 actually think

00:32:52.420 --> 00:32:53.000
 that here

00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:53.859
 the picture

00:32:53.859 --> 00:32:54.359
 is much

00:32:54.359 --> 00:32:55.319
 more of

00:32:55.319 --> 00:32:55.819
 receiving

00:32:55.819 --> 00:32:56.799
 daily

00:32:56.799 --> 00:32:57.279
 mercy

00:32:57.279 --> 00:32:58.240
 the mercies

00:32:58.240 --> 00:32:59.240
 that Lamentations

00:32:59.240 --> 00:33:00.059
 3 talks

00:33:00.059 --> 00:33:00.279
 about

00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:00.920
 the mercies

00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:01.279
 that are

00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:01.700
 new

00:33:01.700 --> 00:33:02.879
 every morning

00:33:02.879 --> 00:33:03.319
 to his

00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:03.660
 people

00:33:03.660 --> 00:33:04.400
 great is

00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:05.379
 your faithfulness

00:33:05.379 --> 00:33:06.440
 oh God

00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:08.079
 and the

00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:08.779
 grace that is

00:33:08.779 --> 00:33:09.279
 spoken of

00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:09.819
 here is the

00:33:09.819 --> 00:33:10.599
 grace

00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:11.559
 not the

00:33:11.559 --> 00:33:11.980
 grace

00:33:11.980 --> 00:33:12.980
 in which

00:33:12.980 --> 00:33:13.519
 we stand

00:33:13.519 --> 00:33:13.799
 in our

00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:14.339
 justification

00:33:14.339 --> 00:33:15.279
 although that's

00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:15.500
 true

00:33:15.500 --> 00:33:15.860
 but the

00:33:15.860 --> 00:33:16.299
 grace

00:33:16.299 --> 00:33:16.900
 that Paul

00:33:16.900 --> 00:33:17.579
 speaks of

00:33:17.579 --> 00:33:18.620
 in 2nd

00:33:18.620 --> 00:33:18.980
 Corinthians

00:33:18.980 --> 00:33:19.539
 12

00:33:19.539 --> 00:33:21.700
 the grace

00:33:21.700 --> 00:33:22.140
 that says

00:33:22.140 --> 00:33:22.680
 my grace

00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:23.259
 is sufficient

00:33:23.259 --> 00:33:23.740
 for you

00:33:23.740 --> 00:33:24.480
 my power

00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:24.860
 is made

00:33:24.860 --> 00:33:25.360
 perfect

00:33:25.360 --> 00:33:25.880
 in your

00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:26.360
 weakness

00:33:26.360 --> 00:33:27.420
 in your

00:33:27.420 --> 00:33:27.940
 current

00:33:27.940 --> 00:33:28.660
 situation

00:33:28.660 --> 00:33:29.259
 of need

00:33:29.259 --> 00:33:30.000
 when you

00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:30.680
 are suffering

00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:31.099
 when you

00:33:31.099 --> 00:33:31.740
 are facing

00:33:31.740 --> 00:33:32.579
 trial and

00:33:32.579 --> 00:33:32.960
 hardship

00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:33.660
 when it

00:33:33.660 --> 00:33:34.319
 feels like

00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:34.960
 the water

00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:35.519
 level is

00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:35.940
 rising

00:33:35.940 --> 00:33:36.339
 and you

00:33:36.339 --> 00:33:37.200
 can't swim

00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:37.759
 and you

00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:38.220
 don't know

00:33:38.220 --> 00:33:38.480
 how to

00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:38.840
 keep your

00:33:38.840 --> 00:33:39.319
 head above

00:33:39.319 --> 00:33:39.660
 water

00:33:39.660 --> 00:33:41.019
 my grace

00:33:41.019 --> 00:33:41.860
 is sufficient

00:33:41.860 --> 00:33:42.680
 for you

00:33:42.680 --> 00:33:44.519
 and this

00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:44.860
 is the

00:33:44.860 --> 00:33:45.240
 mercy

00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:45.960
 and the

00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:46.460
 grace

00:33:46.460 --> 00:33:47.500
 that he

00:33:47.500 --> 00:33:48.240
 gives us

00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:49.340
 this is

00:33:49.340 --> 00:33:49.740
 what he

00:33:49.740 --> 00:33:50.360
 offers

00:33:50.360 --> 00:33:51.740
 what does

00:33:51.740 --> 00:33:52.080
 that look

00:33:52.080 --> 00:33:52.299
 like

00:33:52.299 --> 00:33:52.840
 practically

00:33:52.840 --> 00:33:53.519
 well

00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:55.720
 notice how

00:33:55.720 --> 00:33:56.380
 wonderfully

00:33:56.380 --> 00:33:56.900
 the writer

00:33:56.900 --> 00:33:57.160
 of the

00:33:57.160 --> 00:33:57.480
 Hebrews

00:33:57.480 --> 00:33:57.900
 weaves

00:33:57.900 --> 00:33:58.059
 this

00:33:58.059 --> 00:33:58.440
 together

00:33:58.440 --> 00:33:59.319
 look ahead

00:33:59.319 --> 00:33:59.920
 go read

00:33:59.920 --> 00:34:00.960
 Hebrews 11

00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:01.660
 this afternoon

00:34:01.660 --> 00:34:02.220
 and see

00:34:02.220 --> 00:34:02.660
 what kind

00:34:02.660 --> 00:34:03.120
 of help

00:34:03.120 --> 00:34:04.240
 God gives

00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:04.580
 to his

00:34:04.580 --> 00:34:04.960
 people

00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:05.660
 sometimes

00:34:05.660 --> 00:34:06.319
 he gives

00:34:06.319 --> 00:34:07.039
 miraculous

00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:07.900
 instantaneous

00:34:07.900 --> 00:34:08.880
 deliverance

00:34:08.880 --> 00:34:09.579
 sometimes

00:34:09.579 --> 00:34:10.320
 he gives

00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:10.780
 strength

00:34:10.780 --> 00:34:11.380
 to endure

00:34:11.380 --> 00:34:11.980
 trial

00:34:11.980 --> 00:34:12.619
 for a

00:34:12.619 --> 00:34:12.920
 season

00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:13.800
 sometimes

00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:16.440
 he gives

00:34:16.440 --> 00:34:17.079
 them hope

00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:17.780
 and strength

00:34:17.780 --> 00:34:18.500
 to endure

00:34:18.500 --> 00:34:20.840
 until martyrdom

00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:21.579
 and death

00:34:21.579 --> 00:34:24.199
 looking ahead

00:34:24.199 --> 00:34:25.519
 to a city

00:34:25.519 --> 00:34:26.539
 whose builder

00:34:26.539 --> 00:34:27.000
 and maker

00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:27.579
 is God

00:34:27.579 --> 00:34:28.480
 looking to

00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:29.119
 a heavenly

00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:29.720
 home

00:34:29.720 --> 00:34:30.699
 that's not

00:34:30.699 --> 00:34:31.159
 here on

00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:31.400
 earth

00:34:31.400 --> 00:34:31.860
 and never

00:34:31.860 --> 00:34:32.500
 will be

00:34:32.500 --> 00:34:35.679
 and the

00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:36.000
 help

00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:36.480
 that God

00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:36.940
 gives

00:34:36.940 --> 00:34:37.719
 can be

00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:38.039
 any

00:34:38.039 --> 00:34:38.719
 of this

00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:39.619
 and the

00:34:39.619 --> 00:34:39.980
 grace

00:34:39.980 --> 00:34:40.280
 that he

00:34:40.280 --> 00:34:40.559
 gives

00:34:40.559 --> 00:34:40.940
 can be

00:34:40.940 --> 00:34:41.380
 any

00:34:41.380 --> 00:34:42.460
 of these

00:34:42.460 --> 00:34:43.219
 things

00:34:43.219 --> 00:34:48.000
 friends

00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:48.519
 we talk

00:34:48.519 --> 00:34:49.079
 about these

00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:50.000
 grand

00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:50.659
 and lofty

00:34:50.659 --> 00:34:50.960
 things

00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:51.380
 Jesus

00:34:51.380 --> 00:34:51.960
 the high

00:34:51.960 --> 00:34:52.340
 priest

00:34:52.340 --> 00:34:52.559
 who's

00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:52.760
 entered

00:34:52.760 --> 00:34:53.039
 into

00:34:53.039 --> 00:34:53.880
 a heavenly

00:34:53.880 --> 00:34:54.460
 temple

00:34:54.460 --> 00:34:55.760
 and so

00:34:55.760 --> 00:34:56.199
 we have

00:34:56.199 --> 00:34:57.219
 mercy

00:34:57.219 --> 00:34:57.840
 and grace

00:34:57.840 --> 00:34:58.360
 to help

00:34:58.360 --> 00:34:58.800
 us

00:34:58.800 --> 00:35:00.860
 and maybe

00:35:00.860 --> 00:35:01.660
 like you

00:35:01.660 --> 00:35:03.340
 maybe like

00:35:03.340 --> 00:35:03.560
 me

00:35:03.560 --> 00:35:04.180
 you struggle

00:35:04.180 --> 00:35:04.820
 sometimes

00:35:04.820 --> 00:35:05.220
 to think

00:35:05.220 --> 00:35:06.060
 what kind

00:35:06.060 --> 00:35:06.380
 of help

00:35:06.380 --> 00:35:06.840
 is that

00:35:06.840 --> 00:35:07.200
 really

00:35:07.200 --> 00:35:09.300
 some of

00:35:09.300 --> 00:35:09.860
 that probably

00:35:09.860 --> 00:35:10.460
 comes from

00:35:10.460 --> 00:35:11.240
 our cultural

00:35:11.240 --> 00:35:12.900
 expectation

00:35:12.900 --> 00:35:13.660
 that life

00:35:13.660 --> 00:35:14.019
 should be

00:35:14.019 --> 00:35:14.440
 easy

00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:15.780
 and simple

00:35:15.780 --> 00:35:16.980
 and comfortable

00:35:16.980 --> 00:35:19.680
 and when it's

00:35:19.680 --> 00:35:20.420
 not we just

00:35:20.420 --> 00:35:20.960
 think that

00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:21.900
 help means

00:35:21.900 --> 00:35:22.539
 fixing it

00:35:22.539 --> 00:35:23.039
 so that our

00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:23.620
 life becomes

00:35:23.620 --> 00:35:24.420
 simple and easy

00:35:24.420 --> 00:35:25.000
 and comfortable

00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:26.480
 friends that's

00:35:26.480 --> 00:35:26.980
 not God's

00:35:26.980 --> 00:35:27.720
 plan for you

00:35:27.719 --> 00:35:28.939
 I promise

00:35:28.939 --> 00:35:29.359
 you it's

00:35:29.359 --> 00:35:29.639
 not

00:35:29.639 --> 00:35:30.639
 God's plan

00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:31.039
 is much

00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:31.659
 greater and

00:35:31.659 --> 00:35:32.039
 much more

00:35:32.039 --> 00:35:32.739
 glorious than

00:35:32.739 --> 00:35:33.039
 that

00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:34.199
 and he will

00:35:34.199 --> 00:35:35.099
 give great

00:35:35.099 --> 00:35:35.759
 aid and

00:35:35.759 --> 00:35:36.480
 great comfort

00:35:36.480 --> 00:35:37.039
 and great

00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:37.459
 help

00:35:37.459 --> 00:35:38.359
 and there are

00:35:38.359 --> 00:35:38.959
 times when he

00:35:38.959 --> 00:35:40.000
 practically steps

00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:40.699
 in and shows

00:35:40.699 --> 00:35:41.379
 his glory

00:35:41.379 --> 00:35:42.619
 by overcoming

00:35:42.619 --> 00:35:44.539
 the fallenness

00:35:44.539 --> 00:35:45.159
 of this world

00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:45.879
 and the fallenness

00:35:45.879 --> 00:35:46.419
 of your own

00:35:46.419 --> 00:35:46.839
 life

00:35:46.839 --> 00:35:49.239
 and his mercy

00:35:49.239 --> 00:35:49.759
 and grace

00:35:49.759 --> 00:35:50.339
 can be

00:35:50.339 --> 00:35:51.239
 delivering you

00:35:51.239 --> 00:35:52.259
 from patterns

00:35:52.259 --> 00:35:52.819
 of sin

00:35:52.819 --> 00:35:53.959
 it can be

00:35:53.959 --> 00:35:55.199
 providing in

00:35:55.199 --> 00:35:56.399
 miraculous ways

00:35:56.400 --> 00:35:58.380
 to free you

00:35:58.380 --> 00:35:59.119
 from a terrible

00:35:59.119 --> 00:35:59.900
 situation

00:35:59.900 --> 00:36:01.260
 it can be

00:36:01.260 --> 00:36:02.300
 healing you

00:36:02.300 --> 00:36:03.440
 of a disease

00:36:03.440 --> 00:36:05.119
 and freeing you

00:36:05.119 --> 00:36:07.320
 but friends

00:36:07.320 --> 00:36:08.000
 it's not only

00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:08.360
 that

00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:10.039
 it's also

00:36:10.039 --> 00:36:10.720
 to know

00:36:10.720 --> 00:36:12.059
 that his

00:36:12.059 --> 00:36:12.700
 plan for

00:36:12.700 --> 00:36:13.380
 your life

00:36:13.380 --> 00:36:16.019
 is a greater

00:36:16.019 --> 00:36:16.760
 thing than

00:36:16.760 --> 00:36:17.240
 your comfort

00:36:17.240 --> 00:36:17.940
 and ease

00:36:17.940 --> 00:36:18.760
 and deliverance

00:36:18.760 --> 00:36:19.480
 in this world

00:36:19.480 --> 00:36:21.300
 because you know

00:36:21.300 --> 00:36:22.200
 what you may

00:36:22.200 --> 00:36:22.740
 live as

00:36:22.740 --> 00:36:23.119
 comfortable

00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:23.940
 and easy

00:36:23.940 --> 00:36:25.099
 as you

00:36:25.099 --> 00:36:25.380
 will

00:36:25.380 --> 00:36:26.019
 but you

00:36:26.019 --> 00:36:26.440
 will still

00:36:26.440 --> 00:36:26.800
 die

00:36:26.800 --> 00:36:27.960
 and you

00:36:27.960 --> 00:36:28.639
 will still

00:36:28.639 --> 00:36:29.920
 face judgment

00:36:29.920 --> 00:36:31.579
 before God

00:36:31.579 --> 00:36:33.079
 and you

00:36:33.079 --> 00:36:33.500
 will not

00:36:33.500 --> 00:36:34.119
 be freed

00:36:34.119 --> 00:36:36.059
 from the

00:36:36.059 --> 00:36:36.539
 effects of

00:36:36.539 --> 00:36:36.880
 sin

00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:37.340
 in your

00:36:37.340 --> 00:36:37.760
 life

00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:38.639
 and in

00:36:38.639 --> 00:36:38.920
 fact

00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:39.240
 God

00:36:39.240 --> 00:36:39.860
 brings these

00:36:39.860 --> 00:36:40.340
 things into

00:36:40.340 --> 00:36:40.920
 our lives

00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:41.360
 often

00:36:41.360 --> 00:36:42.599
 to refine

00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:43.079
 us

00:36:43.079 --> 00:36:45.639
 to deepen

00:36:45.639 --> 00:36:46.659
 our faith

00:36:46.659 --> 00:36:50.539
 I can't

00:36:50.539 --> 00:36:51.079
 tell you

00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:52.859
 the hope

00:36:52.859 --> 00:36:53.619
 that we

00:36:53.619 --> 00:36:54.119
 found

00:36:54.119 --> 00:36:56.259
 I can't

00:36:56.259 --> 00:36:57.119
 speak to

00:36:57.119 --> 00:36:58.139
 the comfort

00:36:58.139 --> 00:36:59.059
 that it's

00:36:59.059 --> 00:36:59.399
 been

00:36:59.399 --> 00:37:01.000
 and it's

00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:01.460
 a battle

00:37:01.460 --> 00:37:02.980
 it's a battle

00:37:02.980 --> 00:37:03.659
 to believe

00:37:03.659 --> 00:37:04.179
 that Jesus

00:37:04.179 --> 00:37:04.779
 is able

00:37:04.779 --> 00:37:05.279
 to help

00:37:05.279 --> 00:37:05.500
 us

00:37:05.500 --> 00:37:05.879
 but that

00:37:05.879 --> 00:37:06.159
 has been

00:37:06.159 --> 00:37:06.599
 the great

00:37:06.599 --> 00:37:06.980
 comfort

00:37:06.980 --> 00:37:07.659
 this week

00:37:07.659 --> 00:37:08.559
 is to

00:37:08.559 --> 00:37:08.920
 know that

00:37:08.920 --> 00:37:09.619
 he is

00:37:09.619 --> 00:37:10.299
 my high

00:37:10.299 --> 00:37:10.739
 priest

00:37:10.739 --> 00:37:11.659
 and that

00:37:11.659 --> 00:37:12.000
 he is

00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:12.679
 able to

00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:13.319
 help me

00:37:13.319 --> 00:37:14.219
 today

00:37:14.219 --> 00:37:15.299
 to believe

00:37:15.300 --> 00:37:15.860
 in him

00:37:15.860 --> 00:37:16.940
 and in

00:37:16.940 --> 00:37:17.320
 believing

00:37:17.320 --> 00:37:17.760
 in him

00:37:17.760 --> 00:37:18.760
 to experience

00:37:18.760 --> 00:37:19.539
 his love

00:37:19.539 --> 00:37:20.880
 to know

00:37:20.880 --> 00:37:22.019
 his hope

00:37:22.019 --> 00:37:24.039
 to have

00:37:24.039 --> 00:37:24.720
 faith

00:37:24.720 --> 00:37:26.940
 that he

00:37:26.940 --> 00:37:27.580
 will enable

00:37:27.580 --> 00:37:28.080
 me to

00:37:28.080 --> 00:37:29.000
 live today

00:37:29.000 --> 00:37:30.640
 for him

00:37:30.640 --> 00:37:31.500
 and believing

00:37:31.500 --> 00:37:32.080
 in him

00:37:32.080 --> 00:37:33.039
 and clinging

00:37:33.039 --> 00:37:33.740
 to him

00:37:33.740 --> 00:37:35.920
 he is able

00:37:35.920 --> 00:37:36.680
 to give me

00:37:36.680 --> 00:37:37.200
 joy

00:37:37.200 --> 00:37:38.320
 today

00:37:38.320 --> 00:37:44.180
 and friends

00:37:44.180 --> 00:37:44.760
 I'll tell you

00:37:44.760 --> 00:37:45.460
 I'd rather

00:37:45.460 --> 00:37:46.040
 have that

00:37:46.040 --> 00:37:47.680
 than just

00:37:47.680 --> 00:37:48.140
 comfort

00:37:48.140 --> 00:37:49.540
 and distance

00:37:49.540 --> 00:37:50.120
 from God

00:37:50.120 --> 00:37:52.180
 just comfort

00:37:52.180 --> 00:37:52.940
 and ease

00:37:52.940 --> 00:37:54.600
 but no depth

00:37:54.600 --> 00:37:55.580
 in my relationship

00:37:55.580 --> 00:37:56.400
 with him

00:37:56.400 --> 00:37:59.720
 I go to him

00:37:59.720 --> 00:38:01.020
 because I know

00:38:01.020 --> 00:38:01.900
 he understands

00:38:01.900 --> 00:38:03.620
 I go to him

00:38:03.620 --> 00:38:04.400
 because I know

00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:05.180
 he cares

00:38:05.180 --> 00:38:06.940
 I go to him

00:38:06.940 --> 00:38:08.180
 because I know

00:38:08.180 --> 00:38:08.920
 he is able

00:38:08.920 --> 00:38:09.720
 to help

00:38:09.720 --> 00:38:13.340
 Christ has come

00:38:13.340 --> 00:38:15.440
 and as a

00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:15.980
 great high

00:38:15.980 --> 00:38:16.539
 priest

00:38:16.539 --> 00:38:17.700
 he has

00:38:17.700 --> 00:38:18.220
 taken it

00:38:18.220 --> 00:38:18.940
 for us

00:38:18.940 --> 00:38:19.460
 so that we

00:38:19.460 --> 00:38:19.840
 can go

00:38:19.840 --> 00:38:20.300
 to him

00:38:20.300 --> 00:38:20.720
 in time

00:38:20.720 --> 00:38:21.200
 of need

00:38:21.200 --> 00:38:25.019
 at the cross

00:38:25.019 --> 00:38:25.579
 when Jesus

00:38:25.579 --> 00:38:26.000
 could have

00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:26.840
 saved himself

00:38:26.840 --> 00:38:29.360
 he didn't

00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:30.980
 when he could

00:38:30.980 --> 00:38:31.559
 have saved

00:38:31.559 --> 00:38:31.920
 himself

00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:32.280
 from the

00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:33.180
 worst suffering

00:38:33.180 --> 00:38:34.220
 that has ever

00:38:34.220 --> 00:38:34.940
 happened in

00:38:34.940 --> 00:38:35.500
 this world

00:38:35.500 --> 00:38:36.480
 he didn't

00:38:36.480 --> 00:38:38.320
 he submitted

00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:39.160
 himself to

00:38:39.160 --> 00:38:39.500
 God

00:38:39.500 --> 00:38:39.940
 and he

00:38:39.940 --> 00:38:41.960
 trusted him

00:38:41.960 --> 00:38:42.679
 and he

00:38:42.679 --> 00:38:43.219
 endured

00:38:43.219 --> 00:38:44.559
 the cross

00:38:44.559 --> 00:38:45.119
 for our

00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:45.480
 sake

00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:50.980
 he took

00:38:50.980 --> 00:38:51.559
 on the

00:38:51.559 --> 00:38:51.840
 weakness

00:38:51.840 --> 00:38:52.500
 of incarnation

00:38:52.500 --> 00:38:53.780
 for us

00:38:53.780 --> 00:38:55.440
 he took

00:38:55.440 --> 00:38:56.079
 on the

00:38:56.079 --> 00:38:56.380
 suffering

00:38:56.380 --> 00:38:56.699
 of the

00:38:56.699 --> 00:38:57.139
 cross

00:38:57.139 --> 00:38:58.239
 for us

00:38:58.239 --> 00:38:59.900
 he has

00:38:59.900 --> 00:39:00.260
 gone

00:39:00.260 --> 00:39:00.699
 through

00:39:00.699 --> 00:39:01.239
 death

00:39:01.239 --> 00:39:02.360
 to open

00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:02.980
 up a new

00:39:02.980 --> 00:39:03.480
 and living

00:39:03.480 --> 00:39:03.880
 way

00:39:03.880 --> 00:39:05.219
 for us

00:39:05.219 --> 00:39:07.039
 he has

00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:07.679
 shown us

00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:08.099
 that he

00:39:08.099 --> 00:39:08.959
 does care

00:39:08.959 --> 00:39:10.299
 because it

00:39:10.299 --> 00:39:11.079
 was love

00:39:11.079 --> 00:39:12.500
