00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.160
 Well, I wonder if you can say that this morning.

00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:09.679
 My boast is Jesus Christ.

00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:12.019
 I trust you can.

00:00:13.019 --> 00:00:15.919
 Well, what does it take to be able to make that confession?

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:34.619
 A Christ of your own making, but the Christ, the true Christ that's in the Scripture.

00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:39.439
 We've been learning about Him a little bit, and we'll see Him again this morning.

00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:45.460
 The true glimpse of the true Savior, it takes recognition of who He is.

00:00:46.519 --> 00:00:50.340
 But then it also takes an honest look in your own heart, an examination.

00:00:51.379 --> 00:00:54.100
 How does this true Christ address me?

00:00:54.820 --> 00:00:58.980
 How does this true Christ address the issues of my life?

00:00:58.979 --> 00:01:03.979
 How does the truth about Jesus confront the situation that I'm in?

00:01:05.420 --> 00:01:10.060
 And it calls us out of the ignorance that we have had,

00:01:10.219 --> 00:01:14.219
 and calls us to something that is clear, something that is defined.

00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:18.579
 And by God's grace, it will call us to worship.

00:01:18.739 --> 00:01:20.500
 It will call us to faith in Him.

00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:25.719
 But God has to do a work in our hearts to draw out the truth for us,

00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:30.500
 and to expose the ignorance of our hearts to lead us to that revelation,

00:01:30.500 --> 00:01:34.060
 so that we can, in fact, say, my boast is Jesus Christ.

00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:40.900
 Well, on March of 1974, a Japanese soldier named Hiro Onoda

00:01:40.900 --> 00:01:46.299
 walked out of the jungle on Lubang Island in the Philippines.

00:01:46.299 --> 00:01:51.700
 World War II had ended in 1945.

00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:57.640
 This was almost 29 years later, he finally walks out of the jungle.

00:01:58.739 --> 00:02:01.319
 For Onoda, the war had not ever ended.

00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:07.140
 He had been sent to the island late in the time of the World War II.

00:02:07.140 --> 00:02:12.520
 He was told, given instructions from his intelligence officer,

00:02:12.819 --> 00:02:15.120
 not to surrender under any condition.

00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:19.060
 So when the war ended and leaflets were dropped,

00:02:19.620 --> 00:02:21.680
 messages about the war being over,

00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:24.860
 members were sent and search parties would come,

00:02:24.939 --> 00:02:27.860
 and families were sent to search for their loved ones.

00:02:28.659 --> 00:02:32.259
 But Onoda did not believe the pamphlets that were dropped.

00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:35.099
 He thought the messages were enemy tricks.

00:02:35.099 --> 00:02:37.219
 He thought that they were the deception.

00:02:37.979 --> 00:02:42.740
 He thought they were meant to convey a surrender that he should not follow.

00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:45.359
 So he stayed in the jungle.

00:02:46.060 --> 00:02:46.680
 He kept hiding.

00:02:47.259 --> 00:02:47.959
 He kept fighting.

00:02:48.859 --> 00:02:51.519
 He kept living as though the war was still raging.

00:02:51.780 --> 00:02:56.120
 And for 29 years after the war was over,

00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:58.819
 he lived in that pseudo-reality,

00:02:59.519 --> 00:03:01.519
 a reality that he had made for himself.

00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:09.280
 Japanese traveler ran into him and discovered that he was living under these conditions.

00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:13.300
 And he called him to understand the truth of the war being over.

00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:15.300
 But Onoda would not surrender.

00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:18.460
 He said he would remain true to the orders he was given.

00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:22.100
 Finally, after 29 years,

00:03:22.260 --> 00:03:26.340
 the Japanese government would send his former commanding officer,

00:03:26.340 --> 00:03:27.819
 who was now a fisherman,

00:03:27.819 --> 00:03:33.480
 to meet with Onoda face-to-face and to dismiss those orders.

00:03:34.659 --> 00:03:37.819
 Only then Onoda laid down his weapons.

00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.699
 Only then Onoda would come out of hiding.

00:03:40.819 --> 00:03:47.539
 And only then would Onoda understand the reality of the situation that was in front of him.

00:03:48.699 --> 00:03:51.159
 The story is true of ignorance.

00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:54.699
 The ignorance that rested on Onoda's heart

00:03:54.699 --> 00:03:59.180
 is the same kind of ignorance that all of us are called to confront.

00:04:00.659 --> 00:04:02.500
 You see, Onoda didn't accept the announcement.

00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:05.840
 And because of living in ignorance,

00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:10.120
 he continued to believe and exist as though the war continued.

00:04:11.180 --> 00:04:14.539
 This morning in our passage, as we look at Acts chapter 3,

00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:17.740
 and I would encourage you to turn there in your Bibles, if you would,

00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:18.579
 Acts chapter 3.

00:04:18.579 --> 00:04:21.199
 If you're using the Pew Bible, it's on page 911.

00:04:24.939 --> 00:04:29.740
 The truth is that the audience that Peter was speaking to

00:04:29.740 --> 00:04:31.500
 were also blinded by ignorance.

00:04:32.479 --> 00:04:35.339
 They were unable to recognize Jesus Christ,

00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:39.099
 God in the flesh, who was right in front of them.

00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:44.719
 Jesus had ministered before them for three years in public,

00:04:45.259 --> 00:04:47.199
 and they would not receive his message.

00:04:48.579 --> 00:04:51.180
 We find at the beginning parts of Acts chapter 3,

00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:53.639
 Peter and John who are making their way to the temple.

00:04:54.099 --> 00:04:55.339
 This is the hour of prayer.

00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:58.879
 This is the ninth hour, which would have been three o'clock in the afternoon.

00:04:59.219 --> 00:05:01.039
 They're going there as was their custom.

00:05:01.539 --> 00:05:04.240
 And you remember, they encountered this lame man.

00:05:04.979 --> 00:05:06.939
 This man who had been lame from birth,

00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:08.599
 we find for 40 years.

00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:09.199
 He had been lame.

00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:11.519
 And in order to make ends meet,

00:05:11.579 --> 00:05:17.180
 he would ask those religious individuals who were coming to the temple for financial assistance.

00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:19.099
 He would beg for help.

00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:23.139
 On this day, he would pass Peter and John.

00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:25.199
 He would ask for financial help.

00:05:25.719 --> 00:05:26.839
 And Peter would say,

00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:29.159
 I don't have silver and gold,

00:05:29.239 --> 00:05:30.060
 but what I have,

00:05:30.659 --> 00:05:33.399
 I give to you in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

00:05:33.819 --> 00:05:34.539
 Rise up and walk.

00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:36.839
 He takes the man by the hand.

00:05:36.919 --> 00:05:38.779
 You remember, he raises him up.

00:05:38.859 --> 00:05:40.560
 The man walks and leaps,

00:05:40.819 --> 00:05:42.799
 and he's praising God

00:05:42.799 --> 00:05:45.199
 as they walk together into the temple.

00:05:46.479 --> 00:05:48.019
 Those in the temple are amazed.

00:05:48.579 --> 00:05:50.459
 We saw that a couple of weeks ago.

00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:52.919
 We saw the amazement of the crowd.

00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:54.340
 They recognized this man,

00:05:54.540 --> 00:05:57.680
 and they know that something significant had taken place.

00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:02.840
 We find that this man had been healed.

00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:04.600
 And in verse 9 and 10,

00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:08.560
 we find the people saw him walking and praising God.

00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:12.720
 They recognized him as the one who sat at the beautiful gate of the temple,

00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:14.460
 asking for alms,

00:06:15.020 --> 00:06:18.100
 and they were filled with wonder and amazement

00:06:18.100 --> 00:06:19.620
 at what was happening to him.

00:06:20.500 --> 00:06:22.680
 They recognized that a miracle had taken place.

00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:26.379
 And they were filled with wonder and amazement.

00:06:27.460 --> 00:06:28.400
 And a couple of weeks ago,

00:06:28.460 --> 00:06:29.379
 when we talked about this,

00:06:29.500 --> 00:06:32.699
 we recognized the significance of wonder,

00:06:33.080 --> 00:06:36.960
 this marveling at what was taking place.

00:06:37.220 --> 00:06:39.600
 But Peter wants to make sure

00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.580
 that the hearts of those who are in front of him

00:06:42.580 --> 00:06:44.819
 move from wonder to worship.

00:06:45.460 --> 00:06:46.879
 And that's where all of us need to be.

00:06:47.740 --> 00:06:50.160
 We need to move from just being amazed

00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:52.420
 at the spectacular works of God.

00:06:52.420 --> 00:06:54.620
 It needs to move us in,

00:06:54.960 --> 00:06:55.939
 into devotion,

00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:59.100
 into understanding of who God is,

00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:01.140
 and ultimately into faith.

00:07:01.740 --> 00:07:03.699
 Faith in Christ.

00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:05.900
 Faith in the message of this gospel.

00:07:07.020 --> 00:07:08.720
 And Peter will take this opportunity now,

00:07:09.259 --> 00:07:11.259
 as those people have rushed together,

00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:14.920
 to move their hearts from wonder into worship.

00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:16.000
 That's his goal.

00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:18.680
 In this second part of this sermon,

00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:20.240
 that begins in verse 17.

00:07:21.459 --> 00:07:24.620
 He wants them to recognize that,

00:07:24.620 --> 00:07:26.480
 that wondering is good,

00:07:26.579 --> 00:07:28.120
 but it's never meant to stay there.

00:07:28.699 --> 00:07:29.980
 He says there in verse 12,

00:07:29.980 --> 00:07:32.680
 why do you wonder at this?

00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:34.879
 And throughout this discourse,

00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:38.780
 Peter will direct the attention away from himself,

00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:43.180
 and he'll direct attention of wonder to Jesus Christ.

00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:47.000
 He wants them to understand the object of wonder,

00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:49.139
 and the object of worship.

00:07:50.500 --> 00:07:52.199
 Don't stare at us as if we did anything.

00:07:53.180 --> 00:07:54.060
 Look to Christ.

00:07:54.579 --> 00:07:56.819
 He's the fulfillment of the promise to Abraham.

00:07:57.560 --> 00:07:58.939
 He's the one you crucified.

00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:00.500
 He's the holy one.

00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:01.959
 He's the righteous one.

00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:03.639
 He's the one you murdered.

00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:05.839
 He's the author of life,

00:08:06.339 --> 00:08:06.959
 who you denied.

00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:08.600
 Look to Christ.

00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:11.600
 And we find in verse 16 of chapter 3,

00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:12.280
 it says this,

00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:13.580
 And in his name,

00:08:14.100 --> 00:08:14.520
 or excuse me,

00:08:14.580 --> 00:08:15.379
 and his name,

00:08:15.640 --> 00:08:16.939
 by faith in his name,

00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:19.900
 he has made him strong.

00:08:20.900 --> 00:08:22.300
 And the faith that is through Jesus

00:08:22.300 --> 00:08:24.640
 has given this man the perfect health

00:08:24.640 --> 00:08:27.220
 in the presence of you all.

00:08:29.180 --> 00:08:31.240
 It's meant to lead you to faith.

00:08:31.740 --> 00:08:33.480
 It's meant to lead you to worship.

00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:36.120
 And at this point of the message,

00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:40.240
 Peter's sermon becomes very hard-hitting.

00:08:40.899 --> 00:08:42.080
 It does indict.

00:08:42.220 --> 00:08:43.139
 It does accuse.

00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:44.440
 It does condemn.

00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:47.019
 Peter wants his audience

00:08:47.019 --> 00:08:48.820
 to recognize the bad news

00:08:48.820 --> 00:08:50.700
 before he can welcome them

00:08:50.700 --> 00:08:52.240
 to enjoy the good news.

00:08:52.820 --> 00:08:55.019
 The good news of the promises of God.

00:08:55.820 --> 00:08:57.940
 And he does this in the sharpest way possible.

00:08:58.820 --> 00:09:00.799
 We find that in verse 13.

00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:02.940
 He wants his audience to recognize

00:09:02.940 --> 00:09:05.159
 the seriousness of their crime.

00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:08.019
 The God of your father Abraham

00:09:08.019 --> 00:09:10.639
 glorified his servant, Jesus,

00:09:11.100 --> 00:09:13.519
 whom you delivered over to Pilate.

00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:14.579
 That's how bad it is.

00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:16.899
 God sent his servant

00:09:16.899 --> 00:09:19.839
 in the form of Jesus Christ

00:09:19.839 --> 00:09:23.799
 so that you could see him and know him.

00:09:23.860 --> 00:09:24.539
 But what did you do?

00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:25.939
 You didn't receive him.

00:09:26.100 --> 00:09:26.959
 You put him to death.

00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:29.899
 And Peter makes this connection

00:09:29.899 --> 00:09:32.360
 not to condemn them,

00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:33.560
 but as we're going to see

00:09:33.560 --> 00:09:35.680
 from verses 17 to 26,

00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:37.539
 Peter makes this connection

00:09:37.539 --> 00:09:41.039
 to invite them to something special,

00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:42.659
 to invite them to faith.

00:09:43.460 --> 00:09:44.899
 Because as we're going to see,

00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:47.000
 God's promises still stand.

00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:48.899
 His promises still stand.

00:09:49.800 --> 00:09:50.800
 So turn with me, if you would,

00:09:50.820 --> 00:09:51.980
 to verse 17.

00:09:52.820 --> 00:09:54.720
 I'm going to read the first several verses of this

00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:56.480
 and then we'll jump into our passage.

00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:57.279
 It says this,

00:09:57.720 --> 00:09:58.920
 And now, brothers,

00:09:59.040 --> 00:10:00.860
 I know that you acted in ignorance,

00:10:01.460 --> 00:10:03.220
 as did also your rulers.

00:10:03.540 --> 00:10:05.300
 But what God foretold

00:10:05.300 --> 00:10:07.519
 by the mouth of all the prophets

00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:09.480
 that his Christ would suffer,

00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:11.620
 he thus fulfilled.

00:10:12.660 --> 00:10:13.340
 Repent, therefore,

00:10:13.460 --> 00:10:14.220
 and turn back

00:10:14.220 --> 00:10:15.960
 that your sins may be blotted out,

00:10:16.259 --> 00:10:18.080
 that times of refreshing may come

00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:19.519
 from the presence of the Lord,

00:10:19.700 --> 00:10:21.519
 and that he may send Christ

00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:22.759
 appointed for you,

00:10:23.079 --> 00:10:23.379
 Jesus,

00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:25.720
 whom heaven must receive

00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:26.679
 until the time

00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:28.559
 for restoring all things

00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:30.039
 about which God spoke

00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:30.659
 by the mouth

00:10:30.659 --> 00:10:31.960
 of his holy prophets

00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:33.460
 long ago.

00:10:34.740 --> 00:10:36.679
 You see this invitation now.

00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:38.240
 You see this tone

00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:39.279
 that's beginning to shift.

00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:40.980
 This indictment,

00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:42.659
 this condemnation,

00:10:42.860 --> 00:10:43.779
 this rebuke

00:10:43.779 --> 00:10:45.100
 that Peter will bring

00:10:45.100 --> 00:10:46.399
 at the first part of his sermon

00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:48.759
 now turns to promise.

00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:51.000
 And he begins by saying,

00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:52.659
 receive the message

00:10:52.659 --> 00:10:53.620
 of God's promise.

00:10:53.700 --> 00:10:54.460
 That's the invitation.

00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:56.419
 Receive this message

00:10:56.419 --> 00:10:57.679
 of God's promise.

00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:00.159
 And in order to receive

00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:00.980
 this message,

00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:01.940
 you need to come to terms

00:11:01.940 --> 00:11:02.759
 with your own ignorance.

00:11:03.700 --> 00:11:04.820
 The danger of ignorance.

00:11:04.980 --> 00:11:05.740
 You need to recognize

00:11:05.740 --> 00:11:07.840
 that your ignorant hearts

00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:11.240
 have polluted the truth,

00:11:11.340 --> 00:11:12.340
 have darkened your heart,

00:11:12.419 --> 00:11:14.299
 and have caused this response

00:11:14.299 --> 00:11:16.779
 to Jesus himself.

00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:20.019
 And Peter begins this message

00:11:20.019 --> 00:11:21.579
 back in verse 12.

00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:23.179
 He begins with this tone.

00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:24.059
 Men of Israel.

00:11:24.179 --> 00:11:25.059
 He's addressing them.

00:11:25.819 --> 00:11:27.840
 And now recognize the shift

00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:28.980
 that's beginning to happen

00:11:28.980 --> 00:11:30.059
 in verse 17.

00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:32.399
 You see how he addresses them here?

00:11:33.379 --> 00:11:33.720
 He says,

00:11:33.860 --> 00:11:35.279
 and now brothers.

00:11:36.179 --> 00:11:37.120
 And now brothers.

00:11:38.019 --> 00:11:39.240
 Do you notice the tone?

00:11:39.899 --> 00:11:41.399
 The tone that has shifted?

00:11:42.179 --> 00:11:43.740
 Now this tone of invitation.

00:11:43.740 --> 00:11:45.539
 Now this tone

00:11:45.539 --> 00:11:47.159
 that we belong together.

00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:49.860
 By using this word brothers,

00:11:50.019 --> 00:11:51.340
 Peter is placing himself

00:11:51.340 --> 00:11:52.500
 alongside them.

00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:54.159
 And I wonder,

00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:56.279
 even as Peter was speaking

00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:56.779
 the words,

00:11:57.080 --> 00:11:59.299
 you denied the servant,

00:11:59.460 --> 00:12:00.019
 God's son.

00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:00.659
 I wonder,

00:12:00.779 --> 00:12:02.120
 even in the use

00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:03.279
 of the word denied,

00:12:03.700 --> 00:12:04.740
 Peter recognizes

00:12:05.379 --> 00:12:06.159
 in his own heart,

00:12:06.340 --> 00:12:06.700
 you know what?

00:12:06.779 --> 00:12:08.620
 I deny the Lord three times.

00:12:08.620 --> 00:12:13.560
 But it didn't disqualify me

00:12:13.560 --> 00:12:14.179
 from being able

00:12:14.179 --> 00:12:15.399
 to enjoy the benefits

00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:16.279
 of the promise.

00:12:16.580 --> 00:12:18.360
 It didn't keep me away.

00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:19.960
 And so now Peter

00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:21.220
 extends this invitation

00:12:21.220 --> 00:12:22.560
 to these brothers,

00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:24.000
 these men,

00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:24.759
 who are there

00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:25.379
 in front of him.

00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:28.460
 He's drawing attention

00:12:28.460 --> 00:12:30.560
 to their shared heritage,

00:12:30.779 --> 00:12:31.879
 their shared relationship.

00:12:32.560 --> 00:12:34.000
 He's also drawing attention

00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:35.799
 to their shared responsibility.

00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:38.519
 The first part

00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:39.319
 of this message

00:12:39.319 --> 00:12:40.339
 draws this attention

00:12:40.339 --> 00:12:41.639
 to the seriousness

00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:42.599
 of their rejection.

00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:44.179
 But Peter is now

00:12:44.179 --> 00:12:45.179
 going to invite them

00:12:45.179 --> 00:12:46.740
 to the solution

00:12:46.740 --> 00:12:47.839
 that they all share

00:12:47.839 --> 00:12:48.719
 in Christ.

00:12:49.319 --> 00:12:50.719
 This welcome invitation

00:12:50.719 --> 00:12:52.379
 to enjoy the benefits

00:12:52.379 --> 00:12:53.639
 of what Christ

00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:54.199
 has accomplished.

00:12:55.539 --> 00:12:56.579
 You acted in ignorance.

00:12:57.500 --> 00:12:59.099
 This is the Greek word

00:12:59.099 --> 00:12:59.719
 anoya,

00:13:00.439 --> 00:13:01.979
 which is a compound word.

00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:03.079
 The first part of it,

00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:03.459
 ah,

00:13:03.620 --> 00:13:04.519
 which is not.

00:13:04.699 --> 00:13:05.639
 The second part of it

00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:06.179
 is knowledge.

00:13:06.419 --> 00:13:07.679
 So not knowledge.

00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:09.580
 You acted without knowledge.

00:13:11.019 --> 00:13:12.199
 You acted in a way

00:13:12.199 --> 00:13:12.960
 that demonstrated

00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:14.159
 you didn't understand

00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:15.199
 what was taking place.

00:13:15.439 --> 00:13:16.439
 And all throughout

00:13:16.439 --> 00:13:16.980
 the scripture,

00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:18.759
 whenever this word is used,

00:13:18.939 --> 00:13:20.019
 it's always used

00:13:20.019 --> 00:13:22.860
 to implicate the heathen.

00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:24.159
 It's always used

00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:25.259
 of those who are outside,

00:13:25.379 --> 00:13:26.720
 who decide not

00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:28.399
 to believe in God.

00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:30.360
 This is not,

00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:30.759
 by the way,

00:13:30.819 --> 00:13:32.200
 the absence of information.

00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:33.939
 Those who were standing

00:13:33.940 --> 00:13:34.620
 there in Jerusalem

00:13:34.620 --> 00:13:35.920
 had all the access

00:13:35.920 --> 00:13:36.740
 of information.

00:13:36.940 --> 00:13:37.800
 Jesus himself

00:13:37.800 --> 00:13:38.760
 had ministered to them

00:13:38.760 --> 00:13:39.800
 for three years.

00:13:40.580 --> 00:13:41.580
 And not just the lack

00:13:41.580 --> 00:13:42.060
 of information,

00:13:42.160 --> 00:13:42.740
 but there was also

00:13:42.740 --> 00:13:44.020
 this access

00:13:44.020 --> 00:13:45.160
 to information.

00:13:45.560 --> 00:13:46.240
 So that's not

00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:47.060
 what we're talking about.

00:13:48.060 --> 00:13:49.260
 But it does talk about

00:13:49.260 --> 00:13:50.680
 the utter blindness

00:13:50.680 --> 00:13:52.580
 of these individuals

00:13:52.580 --> 00:13:53.760
 in their response

00:13:53.760 --> 00:13:54.600
 to the truth

00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:55.280
 that was right

00:13:55.280 --> 00:13:56.300
 in front of them.

00:13:57.260 --> 00:13:57.820
 It's similar

00:13:57.820 --> 00:13:58.800
 to what the apostle Paul

00:13:58.800 --> 00:13:59.620
 says in Ephesians

00:13:59.620 --> 00:14:00.299
 chapter 4,

00:14:00.779 --> 00:14:02.639
 verses 17 to 19,

00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:03.759
 describing the condition

00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:04.360
 of our hearts

00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:05.080
 before Christ.

00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:05.639
 He says,

00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:06.320
 Now I say

00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:08.159
 and testify in the Lord

00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:09.279
 that you must no longer

00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:10.679
 walk as the Gentiles walk,

00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:12.399
 in the futility

00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:13.279
 of their minds.

00:14:14.139 --> 00:14:14.679
 They're darkened

00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:15.600
 in their understanding.

00:14:16.060 --> 00:14:16.700
 They're separated

00:14:16.700 --> 00:14:17.700
 from the life of God

00:14:17.700 --> 00:14:20.019
 because of the ignorance

00:14:20.019 --> 00:14:20.919
 that is in them

00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:22.659
 due to the hardening

00:14:22.659 --> 00:14:23.240
 of their hearts.

00:14:23.940 --> 00:14:25.060
 They have become callous.

00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:26.340
 They have given themselves

00:14:26.340 --> 00:14:27.500
 up to sensuality,

00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:28.720
 greedy to practice

00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:30.600
 every kind of impurity.

00:14:31.680 --> 00:14:33.500
 What is this ignorance produced?

00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:34.639
 Well, it's produced

00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:36.580
 futility in their minds,

00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:38.360
 darkening of understanding,

00:14:38.800 --> 00:14:39.940
 alienated from God,

00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:41.279
 hardness of heart,

00:14:41.740 --> 00:14:42.879
 calloused in the way

00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:43.460
 they respond,

00:14:43.779 --> 00:14:45.080
 giving themselves over

00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:47.700
 to all kinds of wickedness.

00:14:48.980 --> 00:14:49.639
 In relationship

00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:50.920
 to the spoken word,

00:14:51.040 --> 00:14:52.000
 there is a total

00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:53.759
 rejection of truth,

00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:55.440
 a posture that has

00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:56.639
 set itself aside

00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:58.660
 from hearing and knowing

00:14:58.659 --> 00:14:59.399
 and embracing

00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:00.339
 the truth

00:15:00.339 --> 00:15:01.339
 that they had access to.

00:15:02.459 --> 00:15:04.000
 This is a perfect description

00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:05.539
 of the ignorance

00:15:05.539 --> 00:15:07.000
 that Peter is describing here.

00:15:07.819 --> 00:15:08.600
 It's an ignorance,

00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:09.039
 by the way,

00:15:09.079 --> 00:15:09.799
 that was shared.

00:15:10.620 --> 00:15:10.959
 Notice,

00:15:11.579 --> 00:15:12.779
 ignorance that is present

00:15:12.779 --> 00:15:13.559
 in you

00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:14.799
 but also present

00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:15.500
 in your rulers.

00:15:15.620 --> 00:15:16.740
 You see that in verse 17.

00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:18.500
 You acted in ignorance

00:15:18.500 --> 00:15:20.699
 as did also your rulers.

00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:21.819
 And that's important.

00:15:23.699 --> 00:15:24.679
 You can't point the finger

00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:26.339
 at the Roman authorities.

00:15:27.139 --> 00:15:28.019
 You can't point the finger

00:15:28.019 --> 00:15:29.320
 at those heathen people

00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:29.920
 over there.

00:15:30.139 --> 00:15:31.680
 No, there's shared culpability,

00:15:32.100 --> 00:15:33.019
 shared responsibility,

00:15:33.740 --> 00:15:34.440
 shared ignorance

00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:35.259
 that's taking place

00:15:35.259 --> 00:15:36.540
 that has rejected,

00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:37.639
 wholesale,

00:15:38.139 --> 00:15:38.660
 the wonder

00:15:38.660 --> 00:15:40.220
 of the gospel of God.

00:15:41.180 --> 00:15:42.139
 But now there's hope.

00:15:42.700 --> 00:15:43.780
 And that's where we turn next.

00:15:44.139 --> 00:15:45.940
 The hope of understanding

00:15:45.940 --> 00:15:47.399
 that we see in verse 18.

00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:49.120
 Notice this.

00:15:49.180 --> 00:15:49.580
 It says,

00:15:49.580 --> 00:16:02.560
 One of the most glorious words

00:16:02.560 --> 00:16:03.379
 in the New Testament

00:16:03.379 --> 00:16:05.400
 is one of the smallest.

00:16:05.680 --> 00:16:06.240
 This word, but.

00:16:07.180 --> 00:16:08.300
 But God.

00:16:09.280 --> 00:16:10.740
 This contrastive word.

00:16:11.860 --> 00:16:14.140
 The things which we deserve

00:16:14.140 --> 00:16:16.900
 would lead us away from God,

00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:18.840
 but God in his mercy.

00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:20.080
 He welcomes us

00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:20.960
 to something better.

00:16:21.580 --> 00:16:22.399
 He welcomes us

00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:23.500
 by his grace

00:16:23.500 --> 00:16:24.340
 to experience

00:16:24.340 --> 00:16:25.379
 the joy

00:16:25.379 --> 00:16:26.120
 of what we're going to read

00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:27.300
 in the remaining parts

00:16:27.300 --> 00:16:28.180
 of this passage.

00:16:28.920 --> 00:16:29.540
 But God.

00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:32.280
 God changes the story.

00:16:33.800 --> 00:16:34.580
 God offers hope

00:16:34.580 --> 00:16:35.720
 when we deserve punishment.

00:16:37.180 --> 00:16:38.259
 God fulfills promises

00:16:38.259 --> 00:16:39.600
 in spite of human failure.

00:16:40.700 --> 00:16:41.879
 God offers life

00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:43.080
 even though we put

00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:44.340
 his son to death.

00:16:44.540 --> 00:16:45.700
 The author of life

00:16:45.700 --> 00:16:46.680
 was killed,

00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:47.519
 was murdered,

00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:49.199
 and yet God continues

00:16:49.199 --> 00:16:50.319
 to extend mercy,

00:16:50.860 --> 00:16:51.460
 his grace.

00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:53.659
 And even in this moment,

00:16:53.779 --> 00:16:55.379
 Peter is trying

00:16:55.379 --> 00:16:56.000
 to awaken

00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:57.720
 in their minds

00:16:57.720 --> 00:16:58.679
 an understanding

00:16:58.679 --> 00:16:59.759
 of this hope.

00:17:00.860 --> 00:17:02.079
 He calls these brothers

00:17:02.079 --> 00:17:02.840
 out of ignorance,

00:17:02.980 --> 00:17:04.259
 not to leave them

00:17:04.259 --> 00:17:05.599
 with crushing judgment,

00:17:05.859 --> 00:17:07.559
 but to welcome them

00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:08.519
 to the hope

00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:09.599
 that can be found in Christ.

00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:10.279
 This message

00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:11.639
 of what Christ accomplished.

00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:12.819
 Notice,

00:17:12.819 --> 00:17:14.679
 God foretold this

00:17:14.679 --> 00:17:15.639
 by the mouth

00:17:15.639 --> 00:17:16.679
 of his prophets,

00:17:17.339 --> 00:17:18.039
 which means

00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:19.359
 God knew

00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:20.059
 this was going

00:17:20.059 --> 00:17:20.599
 to happen.

00:17:21.859 --> 00:17:22.579
 And we recognize

00:17:22.579 --> 00:17:23.319
 as we look

00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:24.000
 through the scriptures

00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:26.439
 and even in Acts chapter 2,

00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:27.960
 what does Peter say?

00:17:28.299 --> 00:17:28.399
 Well,

00:17:28.439 --> 00:17:28.939
 this happened

00:17:28.939 --> 00:17:30.359
 according to the definite

00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:31.720
 plan and purpose

00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:32.339
 of God.

00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:33.839
 God is not surprised

00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:34.740
 by your rebellion.

00:17:34.740 --> 00:17:37.559
 And we know

00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:39.859
 that things happen

00:17:39.859 --> 00:17:41.339
 by God's design.

00:17:42.299 --> 00:17:43.279
 We find that

00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:44.180
 as we work our way

00:17:44.180 --> 00:17:45.940
 back to Isaiah chapter 46,

00:17:46.579 --> 00:17:47.279
 what we see

00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:48.940
 in Isaiah chapter 46,

00:17:49.099 --> 00:17:49.940
 the character

00:17:49.940 --> 00:17:50.980
 of God on display,

00:17:51.500 --> 00:17:52.319
 set against

00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:53.400
 the character

00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:54.039
 of idols.

00:17:54.740 --> 00:17:56.039
 To whom will you liken me

00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:57.000
 and make me equal?

00:17:57.480 --> 00:17:58.319
 To those who hire

00:17:58.319 --> 00:17:58.900
 a goldsmith

00:17:58.900 --> 00:17:59.839
 and make it

00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:00.500
 into a god

00:18:00.500 --> 00:18:01.359
 and then fall down

00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:02.039
 and worship?

00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:03.039
 They lift it up

00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:03.620
 to their shoulder.

00:18:03.619 --> 00:18:04.559
 They carry it.

00:18:04.619 --> 00:18:05.779
 They set it in place.

00:18:06.059 --> 00:18:06.839
 It stands there.

00:18:06.919 --> 00:18:07.819
 It cannot move

00:18:07.819 --> 00:18:08.639
 from its place.

00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:11.039
 And here,

00:18:12.619 --> 00:18:13.519
 the prophet Isaiah

00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:14.500
 is describing

00:18:14.500 --> 00:18:15.439
 the character

00:18:15.439 --> 00:18:16.899
 of false gods.

00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:18.059
 You have to do

00:18:18.059 --> 00:18:19.119
 everything for this god.

00:18:19.219 --> 00:18:20.279
 You make this god.

00:18:20.479 --> 00:18:21.619
 You set up this god.

00:18:21.779 --> 00:18:22.779
 You move this god.

00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:23.639
 You set it in place.

00:18:23.819 --> 00:18:24.919
 It cannot do anything

00:18:24.919 --> 00:18:25.539
 for you.

00:18:27.439 --> 00:18:28.699
 It offers no hope.

00:18:29.539 --> 00:18:30.459
 But here's the character

00:18:30.459 --> 00:18:31.839
 of our god.

00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:33.259
 Remember this

00:18:33.259 --> 00:18:33.980
 and stand firm.

00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:35.599
 I am god

00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:37.199
 and there is no other.

00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:37.980
 I am god

00:18:37.980 --> 00:18:39.299
 and there is none

00:18:39.299 --> 00:18:40.519
 like me

00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:41.859
 declaring the end

00:18:41.859 --> 00:18:42.480
 from the beginning

00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:44.299
 and from ancient times

00:18:44.299 --> 00:18:45.459
 things yet not done

00:18:45.459 --> 00:18:46.119
 saying,

00:18:46.419 --> 00:18:47.579
 my counsel shall stand

00:18:47.579 --> 00:18:48.939
 and I will accomplish

00:18:48.939 --> 00:18:49.799
 all my purposes.

00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:50.959
 I have spoken

00:18:50.959 --> 00:18:52.639
 and I will bring it

00:18:52.639 --> 00:18:53.279
 to pass.

00:18:53.639 --> 00:18:54.519
 I have purposed

00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:54.519


00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:56.299
 and I will do it.

00:18:56.920 --> 00:18:58.119
 God knows the end

00:18:58.119 --> 00:18:59.099
 from the beginning

00:18:59.099 --> 00:19:00.460
 and God knows

00:19:00.460 --> 00:19:02.119
 what was going to happen

00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:03.559
 from eternity past.

00:19:03.879 --> 00:19:05.220
 He spoke it into existence.

00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:07.059
 He doesn't just promise

00:19:07.059 --> 00:19:08.039
 that it will take place.

00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:09.500
 He makes it happen.

00:19:09.940 --> 00:19:10.879
 I will accomplish

00:19:10.879 --> 00:19:11.519
 my purposes.

00:19:13.139 --> 00:19:13.879
 You see,

00:19:14.700 --> 00:19:16.879
 what makes this beautiful

00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:19.360
 is that God's character

00:19:19.360 --> 00:19:21.180
 rests not on his ability

00:19:21.180 --> 00:19:22.580
 to make promises.

00:19:23.500 --> 00:19:24.340
 God's character

00:19:24.340 --> 00:19:25.660
 rests on his ability

00:19:25.660 --> 00:19:27.040
 to keep promises.

00:19:28.040 --> 00:19:29.840
 We have a promise

00:19:29.840 --> 00:19:30.340
 making

00:19:30.340 --> 00:19:32.120
 and a promise

00:19:32.120 --> 00:19:32.920
 keeping God.

00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:34.840
 And that's what Peter

00:19:34.840 --> 00:19:36.280
 wants his audience

00:19:36.280 --> 00:19:36.940
 to understand.

00:19:36.940 --> 00:19:38.580
 You,

00:19:39.180 --> 00:19:40.019
 in ignorance,

00:19:40.380 --> 00:19:42.420
 put your God

00:19:42.420 --> 00:19:43.200
 to death.

00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:45.059
 But that has not

00:19:45.059 --> 00:19:46.059
 disqualified you

00:19:46.059 --> 00:19:47.240
 from now being

00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:48.539
 the recipients

00:19:48.539 --> 00:19:50.080
 of those who are

00:19:50.080 --> 00:19:51.420
 invited to enjoy

00:19:51.420 --> 00:19:52.100
 the benefits

00:19:52.100 --> 00:19:53.799
 of this work

00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:54.400
 of Christ

00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:54.980
 in dying

00:19:54.980 --> 00:19:56.279
 for sinners.

00:19:57.039 --> 00:19:57.340
 You see,

00:19:57.400 --> 00:19:58.880
 anyone can make promises

00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:00.440
 but those promises

00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:01.039
 are empty

00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:01.900
 if they don't happen.

00:20:02.840 --> 00:20:03.620
 Only God

00:20:03.620 --> 00:20:04.720
 can make promises

00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:05.799
 and keep them.

00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:07.319
 And we find

00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:08.539
 from Isaiah chapter 53

00:20:08.539 --> 00:20:09.639
 what were some

00:20:09.639 --> 00:20:10.559
 of these promises?

00:20:10.779 --> 00:20:10.899
 Well,

00:20:11.099 --> 00:20:12.659
 it was the will of God

00:20:12.659 --> 00:20:14.200
 to crush his son.

00:20:15.019 --> 00:20:15.460
 Why?

00:20:15.659 --> 00:20:15.819
 Well,

00:20:15.879 --> 00:20:17.319
 because in verse 5

00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:18.279
 of Isaiah 53,

00:20:19.019 --> 00:20:19.759
 upon him

00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:21.460
 was the chastisement

00:20:21.460 --> 00:20:22.460
 that brought us peace

00:20:22.460 --> 00:20:24.279
 and with his wounds

00:20:24.279 --> 00:20:25.339
 we are healed.

00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:27.139
 With his wounds

00:20:27.139 --> 00:20:27.839
 we are healed.

00:20:27.919 --> 00:20:28.539
 And that's what Peter

00:20:28.539 --> 00:20:29.099
 is addressing

00:20:29.099 --> 00:20:30.279
 in verse 18.

00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:31.480
 God foretold

00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:31.980
 by the mouth

00:20:31.980 --> 00:20:33.079
 of all the prophets

00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:34.359
 that his Christ

00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:35.779
 would suffer

00:20:35.779 --> 00:20:38.019
 he thus fulfilled.

00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:39.740
 This is captured

00:20:39.740 --> 00:20:40.639
 by the prophets

00:20:40.639 --> 00:20:42.180
 ages ago

00:20:42.180 --> 00:20:43.119
 and this has now

00:20:43.119 --> 00:20:43.740
 been fulfilled

00:20:43.740 --> 00:20:45.339
 in God's servant

00:20:45.339 --> 00:20:46.119
 his son,

00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:46.720
 Jesus.

00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:48.519
 Not that

00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:49.639
 by his stripes

00:20:49.639 --> 00:20:50.500
 you are punished.

00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:52.359
 Not by his stripes

00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:53.200
 you are condemned.

00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:54.579
 Not by his stripes

00:20:54.579 --> 00:20:55.619
 you are judged.

00:20:55.819 --> 00:20:57.000
 But by his stripes

00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:58.379
 you might be healed.

00:20:59.440 --> 00:20:59.720
 Healed.

00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:02.059
 And especially healed

00:21:02.059 --> 00:21:03.139
 in a way

00:21:03.139 --> 00:21:04.319
 that runs

00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:04.799
 to the deepest

00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:05.419
 parts of you.

00:21:05.919 --> 00:21:06.519
 Your need

00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:07.899
 for salvation.

00:21:08.099 --> 00:21:08.440
 Your need

00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:09.039
 for forgiveness.

00:21:09.559 --> 00:21:09.879
 Your need

00:21:09.879 --> 00:21:10.419
 for cleansing

00:21:10.419 --> 00:21:11.859
 that Jesus offers

00:21:11.859 --> 00:21:12.440
 through his

00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:13.000
 crushed

00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:14.720
 broken body.

00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:16.599
 Through his stripes.

00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:17.879
 You can be healed

00:21:17.879 --> 00:21:18.519
 in the deepest

00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:19.180
 way possible.

00:21:20.919 --> 00:21:21.779
 So this is

00:21:21.779 --> 00:21:22.759
 this contrastive

00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:23.039
 word

00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:23.460
 but

00:21:23.460 --> 00:21:25.039
 it helps

00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:26.039
 to know

00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:27.000
 that we're being

00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:28.039
 led somewhere.

00:21:28.579 --> 00:21:29.220
 So receive

00:21:29.220 --> 00:21:29.759
 the message

00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:30.659
 of God's promise

00:21:30.660 --> 00:21:31.460
 and then

00:21:31.460 --> 00:21:32.340
 respond

00:21:32.340 --> 00:21:33.300
 next

00:21:33.300 --> 00:21:33.580
 here

00:21:33.580 --> 00:21:34.400
 to the call

00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:35.540
 for repentance.

00:21:35.740 --> 00:21:36.080
 The call

00:21:36.080 --> 00:21:36.600
 of repentance.

00:21:37.380 --> 00:21:37.880
 We find that

00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:38.620
 in verses 19

00:21:38.620 --> 00:21:39.160
 to 21.

00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:41.000
 It says

00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:41.920
 repent therefore

00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:43.600
 and turn back

00:21:43.600 --> 00:21:44.720
 that your sins

00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:45.540
 may be blotted out

00:21:45.540 --> 00:21:46.160
 that times

00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:46.860
 of refreshing

00:21:46.860 --> 00:21:47.820
 may come

00:21:47.820 --> 00:21:48.540
 from the presence

00:21:48.540 --> 00:21:49.440
 of the Lord

00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:50.900
 and that he may

00:21:50.900 --> 00:21:51.680
 send the Christ

00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:52.600
 appointed for you

00:21:52.600 --> 00:21:53.259
 Jesus

00:21:53.259 --> 00:21:54.720
 whom heaven

00:21:54.720 --> 00:21:55.560
 must receive

00:21:55.560 --> 00:21:56.540
 until a time

00:21:56.540 --> 00:21:57.180
 for restoring

00:21:57.180 --> 00:21:58.019
 all things

00:21:58.019 --> 00:21:59.060
 about which God

00:21:59.059 --> 00:22:00.059
 spoke by the mouth

00:22:00.059 --> 00:22:01.259
 of his holy prophets

00:22:01.259 --> 00:22:01.960
 long ago.

00:22:03.220 --> 00:22:04.299
 You need repentance.

00:22:05.139 --> 00:22:05.740
 This is really

00:22:05.740 --> 00:22:06.139
 the word

00:22:06.139 --> 00:22:07.240
 for the need

00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:08.019
 of a change

00:22:08.019 --> 00:22:08.579
 of mind.

00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:09.259
 That's kind of

00:22:09.259 --> 00:22:10.119
 the definition

00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:11.119
 of repentance.

00:22:11.259 --> 00:22:11.960
 That's what they needed.

00:22:12.339 --> 00:22:13.299
 They need to respond

00:22:13.299 --> 00:22:13.960
 in repentance

00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:15.019
 by changing

00:22:15.019 --> 00:22:15.639
 their mind.

00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:17.919
 Changing their mind

00:22:17.919 --> 00:22:18.480
 because of what

00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:19.139
 they know

00:22:19.139 --> 00:22:19.599
 about

00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:21.000
 about Jesus

00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:21.679
 himself.

00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:23.619
 This word

00:22:23.619 --> 00:22:24.139
 repent

00:22:24.139 --> 00:22:25.019
 is a compound

00:22:25.019 --> 00:22:25.839
 word as well

00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:26.579
 and it

00:22:26.579 --> 00:22:27.599
 talks about

00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:28.500
 the mind

00:22:28.500 --> 00:22:29.079
 itself.

00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:29.500
 And so

00:22:29.500 --> 00:22:30.180
 while there

00:22:30.180 --> 00:22:30.740
 was ignorance

00:22:30.740 --> 00:22:32.400
 in their heart

00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:33.380
 where they

00:22:33.380 --> 00:22:34.000
 were without

00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:34.579
 knowledge

00:22:34.579 --> 00:22:34.900
 now they

00:22:34.900 --> 00:22:35.220
 need to

00:22:35.220 --> 00:22:35.960
 engage

00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:36.779
 their mind

00:22:36.779 --> 00:22:37.480
 in repentance

00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:38.519
 and turn

00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:39.859
 and change

00:22:39.859 --> 00:22:41.000
 and redirect

00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:41.579
 their life

00:22:41.579 --> 00:22:42.480
 to Jesus.

00:22:44.779 --> 00:22:45.819
 This change

00:22:45.819 --> 00:22:46.319
 of mind

00:22:46.319 --> 00:22:47.279
 is a change

00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:48.039
 of thinking

00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:48.660
 a change

00:22:48.660 --> 00:22:49.480
 of truth

00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:50.119
 change

00:22:50.119 --> 00:22:50.859
 of posture

00:22:50.859 --> 00:22:51.720
 a change

00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:52.539
 of direction

00:22:52.539 --> 00:22:53.319
 in life.

00:22:54.779 --> 00:22:55.859
 It's something

00:22:55.859 --> 00:22:56.779
 that must happen

00:22:56.779 --> 00:22:57.460
 as we become

00:22:57.460 --> 00:22:57.900
 aware

00:22:57.900 --> 00:22:59.000
 of the truth

00:22:59.000 --> 00:22:59.440
 of God's

00:22:59.440 --> 00:22:59.740
 word.

00:23:00.600 --> 00:23:00.960
 Repent

00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:01.620
 and change

00:23:01.620 --> 00:23:02.799
 your life

00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:03.759
 turn back

00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:04.400
 he says.

00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:05.799
 Another Greek

00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:06.299
 word that

00:23:06.299 --> 00:23:07.000
 gives us

00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:08.680
 the direction

00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:09.740
 of this change

00:23:09.740 --> 00:23:11.100
 there is a turn

00:23:11.100 --> 00:23:11.559
 of mind

00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:13.100
 but a redirection

00:23:13.100 --> 00:23:13.740
 of life

00:23:13.740 --> 00:23:14.759
 a turning back.

00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:16.360
 I love

00:23:16.360 --> 00:23:17.180
 the statement

00:23:17.180 --> 00:23:18.240
 that's given

00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:18.600
 here.

00:23:19.140 --> 00:23:20.059
 Your father's

00:23:20.059 --> 00:23:20.880
 Abraham understood

00:23:20.880 --> 00:23:21.440
 the nature

00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:22.860
 of this faith.

00:23:24.120 --> 00:23:24.880
 Abraham believed

00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:25.460
 God and it

00:23:25.460 --> 00:23:26.140
 was accounted

00:23:26.140 --> 00:23:27.200
 to him

00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:28.440
 as righteousness.

00:23:29.520 --> 00:23:30.080
 It's not

00:23:30.080 --> 00:23:31.020
 that Abraham's

00:23:31.020 --> 00:23:31.440
 faith

00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:33.440
 was produced

00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:34.140
 righteousness

00:23:34.140 --> 00:23:35.720
 but it's that

00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:36.640
 Abraham's faith

00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:37.880
 was accredited

00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:38.880
 as righteous.

00:23:39.540 --> 00:23:40.340
 Not because

00:23:40.340 --> 00:23:41.140
 Abraham brought

00:23:41.140 --> 00:23:41.700
 righteousness

00:23:41.700 --> 00:23:42.740
 to the table

00:23:42.740 --> 00:23:44.140
 but because

00:23:44.140 --> 00:23:45.140
 through Abraham's

00:23:45.140 --> 00:23:45.460
 faith

00:23:45.460 --> 00:23:46.540
 the object

00:23:46.540 --> 00:23:47.200
 of faith

00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:48.060
 Jesus

00:23:48.060 --> 00:23:49.260
 was righteous.

00:23:50.260 --> 00:23:50.940
 So we see

00:23:50.940 --> 00:23:52.300
 in verse 14

00:23:52.299 --> 00:23:53.159
 of our passage

00:23:53.159 --> 00:23:54.099
 it says

00:23:54.099 --> 00:23:54.659
 you denied

00:23:54.659 --> 00:23:55.139
 who?

00:23:55.339 --> 00:23:55.960
 The holy

00:23:55.960 --> 00:23:56.700
 and righteous

00:23:56.700 --> 00:23:57.079
 one.

00:23:57.399 --> 00:23:58.000
 Jesus is

00:23:58.000 --> 00:23:58.379
 righteous

00:23:58.379 --> 00:24:00.480
 and it's a

00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:00.779
 righteousness

00:24:00.779 --> 00:24:01.539
 that belongs

00:24:01.539 --> 00:24:02.039
 to him

00:24:02.039 --> 00:24:03.099
 and it's a

00:24:03.099 --> 00:24:03.440
 righteousness

00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:03.980
 that then

00:24:03.980 --> 00:24:04.819
 is accredited

00:24:04.819 --> 00:24:05.460
 to the account

00:24:05.460 --> 00:24:06.019
 of those

00:24:06.019 --> 00:24:07.019
 who believe

00:24:07.019 --> 00:24:07.940
 in Jesus

00:24:07.940 --> 00:24:08.559
 as the

00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:09.460
 way

00:24:09.460 --> 00:24:10.440
 to faith

00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:11.759
 through repentance.

00:24:12.980 --> 00:24:13.339
 You see

00:24:13.339 --> 00:24:14.919
 true repentance

00:24:14.919 --> 00:24:15.859
 is not just

00:24:15.859 --> 00:24:16.539
 simply being

00:24:16.539 --> 00:24:16.899
 sorry

00:24:16.899 --> 00:24:17.819
 for bad

00:24:17.819 --> 00:24:18.299
 things.

00:24:19.399 --> 00:24:19.879
 True repentance

00:24:19.879 --> 00:24:20.519
 is not just

00:24:20.519 --> 00:24:21.240
 grieving over

00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:21.899
 consequences

00:24:21.900 --> 00:24:22.940
 or feeling

00:24:22.940 --> 00:24:23.620
 embarrassed

00:24:23.620 --> 00:24:24.160
 or feeling

00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:24.620
 a sense

00:24:24.620 --> 00:24:25.120
 of shame.

00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:25.720
 It's not

00:24:25.720 --> 00:24:26.240
 something that

00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:27.160
 just happens

00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:27.840
 one day

00:24:27.840 --> 00:24:28.780
 and fades

00:24:28.780 --> 00:24:29.400
 the next.

00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:30.380
 True repentance

00:24:30.380 --> 00:24:31.440
 involves faith.

00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:33.040
 It involves

00:24:33.040 --> 00:24:33.560
 a belief

00:24:33.560 --> 00:24:34.259
 in truth.

00:24:35.900 --> 00:24:36.519
 Repentance

00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:37.820
 is a

00:24:37.820 --> 00:24:38.440
 faith issue

00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:39.940
 and that

00:24:39.940 --> 00:24:40.420
 means that

00:24:40.420 --> 00:24:41.080
 repentance

00:24:41.080 --> 00:24:41.880
 is a

00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:42.900
 worship issue

00:24:42.900 --> 00:24:44.759
 and with this

00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:45.280
 we come full

00:24:45.280 --> 00:24:45.860
 circle right?

00:24:46.860 --> 00:24:47.460
 We come back

00:24:47.460 --> 00:24:48.320
 to where we

00:24:48.320 --> 00:24:48.660
 started.

00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:49.720
 Coming back

00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:50.920
 to verse 16

00:24:50.920 --> 00:24:51.380
 and understand

00:24:51.380 --> 00:24:51.980
 the significance

00:24:51.980 --> 00:24:53.600
 of what Peter

00:24:53.600 --> 00:24:54.320
 is saying here

00:24:54.320 --> 00:24:55.039
 in calling

00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:55.900
 his audience

00:24:55.900 --> 00:24:56.500
 to faith.

00:24:57.019 --> 00:24:57.500
 It's true

00:24:57.500 --> 00:24:59.240
 faith in Christ

00:24:59.240 --> 00:24:59.779
 that this man

00:24:59.779 --> 00:25:00.140
 is healed

00:25:00.140 --> 00:25:01.259
 and this

00:25:01.259 --> 00:25:01.860
 invitation

00:25:01.860 --> 00:25:02.620
 of faith

00:25:02.620 --> 00:25:03.080
 is for you

00:25:03.080 --> 00:25:03.300
 too.

00:25:03.800 --> 00:25:04.080
 You must

00:25:04.080 --> 00:25:04.920
 also believe.

00:25:05.980 --> 00:25:06.740
 Come to terms

00:25:06.740 --> 00:25:07.519
 with the seriousness

00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:09.460
 of your sin,

00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:10.779
 your rebellion

00:25:10.779 --> 00:25:11.580
 against God

00:25:11.580 --> 00:25:13.420
 and this

00:25:13.420 --> 00:25:14.019
 begins

00:25:14.019 --> 00:25:15.060
 to change

00:25:15.060 --> 00:25:16.019
 your mind,

00:25:16.100 --> 00:25:16.580
 your thinking

00:25:16.580 --> 00:25:17.600
 about who he is

00:25:17.600 --> 00:25:18.340
 and what you need.

00:25:18.339 --> 00:25:20.199
 in verse 19.

00:25:20.899 --> 00:25:21.899
 What is the result?

00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:22.619
 Well, the result

00:25:22.619 --> 00:25:23.139
 of this

00:25:23.139 --> 00:25:24.379
 is that your sins

00:25:24.379 --> 00:25:25.279
 will be blotted

00:25:25.279 --> 00:25:25.699
 out.

00:25:26.779 --> 00:25:27.220
 Blotted,

00:25:27.339 --> 00:25:27.899
 which is a

00:25:27.899 --> 00:25:28.859
 word to wipe

00:25:28.859 --> 00:25:29.659
 away or to

00:25:29.659 --> 00:25:30.079
 eliminate.

00:25:31.419 --> 00:25:32.019
 See, it's a

00:25:32.019 --> 00:25:32.959
 picture of a

00:25:32.959 --> 00:25:33.599
 record that

00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:35.519
 was recorded

00:25:35.519 --> 00:25:36.939
 in some

00:25:36.939 --> 00:25:37.699
 piece of

00:25:37.699 --> 00:25:38.019
 paper.

00:25:39.220 --> 00:25:40.099
 And in the

00:25:40.099 --> 00:25:40.699
 ancient world,

00:25:40.859 --> 00:25:41.399
 the ink that

00:25:41.399 --> 00:25:41.939
 was used

00:25:41.939 --> 00:25:42.659
 wouldn't bite

00:25:42.659 --> 00:25:43.519
 into the surface

00:25:43.519 --> 00:25:44.879
 of the papyrus

00:25:44.879 --> 00:25:45.619
 and so it

00:25:45.619 --> 00:25:46.079
 could often

00:25:46.079 --> 00:25:46.959
 very easily

00:25:46.959 --> 00:25:47.459
 be wiped

00:25:47.460 --> 00:25:47.860
 away.

00:25:49.140 --> 00:25:49.779
 So to be

00:25:49.779 --> 00:25:50.440
 blotted out

00:25:50.440 --> 00:25:51.019
 carries this

00:25:51.019 --> 00:25:51.500
 image of

00:25:51.500 --> 00:25:52.360
 this written

00:25:52.360 --> 00:25:53.240
 record where

00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:54.880
 that ledger

00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:56.039
 is totally

00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:57.420
 removed.

00:25:58.279 --> 00:25:59.539
 The sin

00:25:59.539 --> 00:25:59.960
 that was

00:25:59.960 --> 00:26:00.279
 there,

00:26:00.840 --> 00:26:02.059
 the indictment

00:26:02.059 --> 00:26:02.640
 against you

00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:03.319
 is removed

00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:04.100
 in totality.

00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:04.720
 Not just

00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:05.519
 crossed away,

00:26:05.819 --> 00:26:06.220
 not just

00:26:06.220 --> 00:26:06.700
 overlooked,

00:26:06.900 --> 00:26:07.220
 but it's

00:26:07.220 --> 00:26:07.860
 replaced.

00:26:08.700 --> 00:26:09.039
 There's an

00:26:09.039 --> 00:26:09.779
 exchange that

00:26:09.779 --> 00:26:10.380
 takes place

00:26:10.380 --> 00:26:10.640
 there.

00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:12.519
 That record

00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:13.539
 no longer

00:26:13.539 --> 00:26:14.059
 exists.

00:26:15.019 --> 00:26:15.880
 It's because

00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:16.360
 there's a

00:26:16.359 --> 00:26:16.740
 replacement

00:26:16.740 --> 00:26:17.039
 that's

00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:17.699
 taken place.

00:26:18.479 --> 00:26:18.599
 The

00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:19.000
 righteousness

00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:19.919
 of Christ

00:26:19.919 --> 00:26:20.379
 is now

00:26:20.379 --> 00:26:21.039
 accredited

00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:21.979
 to your

00:26:21.979 --> 00:26:22.399
 account.

00:26:23.500 --> 00:26:23.819
 So have

00:26:23.819 --> 00:26:24.179
 a change

00:26:24.179 --> 00:26:24.699
 of mind.

00:26:25.859 --> 00:26:26.139
 In verse

00:26:26.139 --> 00:26:26.500
 20,

00:26:27.159 --> 00:26:28.219
 now Peter

00:26:28.219 --> 00:26:28.779
 wants to

00:26:28.779 --> 00:26:29.799
 invite this

00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:30.339
 audience not

00:26:30.339 --> 00:26:30.959
 just to a

00:26:30.959 --> 00:26:31.919
 change of

00:26:31.919 --> 00:26:32.199
 mind,

00:26:32.299 --> 00:26:32.819
 but what are

00:26:32.819 --> 00:26:33.379
 the results

00:26:33.379 --> 00:26:33.899
 of that

00:26:33.899 --> 00:26:34.299
 change?

00:26:34.399 --> 00:26:34.539
 Well,

00:26:34.919 --> 00:26:35.539
 there is an

00:26:35.539 --> 00:26:36.259
 offer now

00:26:36.259 --> 00:26:36.939
 of times

00:26:36.939 --> 00:26:38.039
 of refreshing.

00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:39.179
 Notice

00:26:39.179 --> 00:26:39.719
 verse 20,

00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:40.199
 it says,

00:26:40.919 --> 00:26:41.979
 that times

00:26:41.979 --> 00:26:42.659
 of refreshing

00:26:42.660 --> 00:26:43.940
 may come

00:26:43.940 --> 00:26:44.620
 from the

00:26:44.620 --> 00:26:45.120
 presence of

00:26:45.120 --> 00:26:45.480
 the Lord

00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:46.700
 and that

00:26:46.700 --> 00:26:47.080
 he may

00:26:47.080 --> 00:26:47.600
 send the

00:26:47.600 --> 00:26:47.920
 Christ

00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:48.400
 appointed

00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:48.960
 for you

00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:49.680
 Jesus.

00:26:50.740 --> 00:26:51.680
 God offers

00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:52.440
 to replace

00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:53.779
 that ledger

00:26:53.779 --> 00:26:55.460
 of condemnation

00:26:55.460 --> 00:26:57.120
 with a record

00:26:57.120 --> 00:26:58.160
 of refreshing.

00:26:59.940 --> 00:27:00.960
 It's refreshing,

00:27:01.140 --> 00:27:01.560
 which is a

00:27:01.560 --> 00:27:02.240
 word for

00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:02.660
 relief.

00:27:02.900 --> 00:27:04.120
 It provides

00:27:04.120 --> 00:27:04.920
 this picture

00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:05.400
 of this

00:27:05.400 --> 00:27:06.779
 cool breeze

00:27:06.779 --> 00:27:07.259
 or this

00:27:07.259 --> 00:27:08.779
 very refreshing

00:27:08.779 --> 00:27:10.119
 water that

00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:10.839
 is given

00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:11.539
 to those

00:27:11.539 --> 00:27:12.700
 weary souls.

00:27:12.859 --> 00:27:13.539
 This time

00:27:13.539 --> 00:27:14.139
 of refreshing

00:27:14.139 --> 00:27:15.139
 that we can

00:27:15.139 --> 00:27:15.920
 enjoy because

00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:16.339
 of Jesus

00:27:16.339 --> 00:27:16.879
 Christ.

00:27:17.639 --> 00:27:18.200
 This is the

00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:18.680
 only place

00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:19.160
 it's found

00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:19.420
 in the

00:27:19.420 --> 00:27:19.960
 New Testament

00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:21.559
 and it's

00:27:21.559 --> 00:27:22.119
 not the

00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:23.019
 kind of

00:27:23.019 --> 00:27:23.639
 result we

00:27:23.639 --> 00:27:24.319
 would expect.

00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:26.039
 See,

00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:26.519
 our minds

00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:26.940
 are likely

00:27:26.940 --> 00:27:27.460
 to follow

00:27:27.460 --> 00:27:27.940
 when we

00:27:27.940 --> 00:27:28.359
 think about

00:27:28.359 --> 00:27:29.519
 being blotted

00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:30.099
 out or

00:27:30.099 --> 00:27:31.079
 purged away.

00:27:31.480 --> 00:27:32.279
 Our minds

00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:33.200
 often go to

00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:34.180
 Psalm 51

00:27:34.180 --> 00:27:35.700
 and that's a

00:27:35.700 --> 00:27:36.160
 good picture

00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:36.639
 as well.

00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:37.680
 In Psalm 51,

00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:38.160
 the psalmist

00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:38.619
 is saying,

00:27:38.779 --> 00:27:39.539
 verses 1 and 2,

00:27:40.059 --> 00:27:40.799
 have mercy

00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:41.200
 on me,

00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:41.519
 O God,

00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:42.039
 according to

00:27:42.039 --> 00:27:42.579
 your steadfast

00:27:42.579 --> 00:27:43.000
 love.

00:27:43.660 --> 00:27:44.339
 According to

00:27:44.339 --> 00:27:45.099
 your abundant

00:27:45.099 --> 00:27:45.700
 mercy,

00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:47.119
 blot out

00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:48.139
 my transgression.

00:27:48.980 --> 00:27:49.539
 Wash me

00:27:49.539 --> 00:27:50.000
 thoroughly

00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:50.500
 from my

00:27:50.500 --> 00:27:50.940
 iniquity

00:27:50.940 --> 00:27:51.859
 and cleanse

00:27:51.859 --> 00:27:52.420
 me from

00:27:52.420 --> 00:27:52.940
 my sin.

00:27:53.879 --> 00:27:54.500
 Purge me

00:27:54.500 --> 00:27:55.200
 with hyssop

00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:56.700
 and I will

00:27:56.700 --> 00:27:57.119
 be clean.

00:27:57.460 --> 00:27:58.059
 Wash me

00:27:58.059 --> 00:27:58.579
 and I will

00:27:58.579 --> 00:27:58.980
 be whiter

00:27:58.980 --> 00:27:59.539
 than snow.

00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:00.680
 Hide your

00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:01.119
 face from

00:28:01.119 --> 00:28:01.519
 my sin

00:28:01.519 --> 00:28:02.200
 and blot

00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:02.960
 out all

00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:03.960
 my iniquities.

00:28:04.859 --> 00:28:05.339
 Create in

00:28:05.339 --> 00:28:05.839
 me a clean

00:28:05.839 --> 00:28:06.059
 heart,

00:28:06.119 --> 00:28:06.460
 O God.

00:28:06.940 --> 00:28:07.399
 Renew

00:28:07.399 --> 00:28:07.940
 a right

00:28:07.940 --> 00:28:08.559
 spirit,

00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:09.519
 within me.

00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:10.460
 It's the

00:28:10.460 --> 00:28:11.220
 same language

00:28:11.220 --> 00:28:12.379
 that Peter

00:28:12.379 --> 00:28:12.879
 is using.

00:28:13.139 --> 00:28:13.500
 Wash

00:28:13.500 --> 00:28:14.359
 and blot

00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:15.339
 and cleanse

00:28:15.339 --> 00:28:16.619
 and purge.

00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:17.779
 That's a picture

00:28:17.779 --> 00:28:18.440
 of forgiveness,

00:28:18.639 --> 00:28:18.819
 right?

00:28:19.460 --> 00:28:20.559
 But it's

00:28:20.559 --> 00:28:21.379
 the picture

00:28:21.379 --> 00:28:22.159
 of refreshing

00:28:22.159 --> 00:28:23.759
 is meant to

00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:24.079
 go much

00:28:24.079 --> 00:28:24.379
 deeper.

00:28:25.539 --> 00:28:26.460
 That's still

00:28:26.460 --> 00:28:27.740
 contained within

00:28:27.740 --> 00:28:28.879
 what Peter

00:28:28.879 --> 00:28:29.519
 is describing.

00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:30.440
 There is

00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:30.960
 washing,

00:28:31.119 --> 00:28:31.399
 there is

00:28:31.399 --> 00:28:31.940
 cleansing,

00:28:32.419 --> 00:28:32.879
 but Peter

00:28:32.879 --> 00:28:33.460
 wants his

00:28:33.460 --> 00:28:33.960
 audience to

00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:34.440
 know there

00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:35.319
 is so much

00:28:35.319 --> 00:28:35.659
 more.

00:28:35.660 --> 00:28:35.700
 more.

00:28:36.560 --> 00:28:36.940
 There's

00:28:36.940 --> 00:28:37.300
 not just

00:28:37.300 --> 00:28:38.100
 this temporary

00:28:38.100 --> 00:28:39.100
 ledger that

00:28:39.100 --> 00:28:39.519
 has been

00:28:39.519 --> 00:28:41.120
 fixed.

00:28:41.800 --> 00:28:42.180
 There is

00:28:42.180 --> 00:28:42.640
 now this

00:28:42.640 --> 00:28:43.360
 ongoing,

00:28:43.740 --> 00:28:44.580
 these times

00:28:44.580 --> 00:28:46.019
 of refreshing

00:28:46.019 --> 00:28:46.540
 that we get

00:28:46.540 --> 00:28:47.080
 to enjoy.

00:28:47.779 --> 00:28:48.100
 And he

00:28:48.100 --> 00:28:48.720
 uses this

00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:49.080
 word,

00:28:49.420 --> 00:28:49.840
 this Greek

00:28:49.840 --> 00:28:50.200
 word,

00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:53.060
 well,

00:28:54.180 --> 00:28:54.600
 kairos,

00:28:54.660 --> 00:28:54.920
 that's what

00:28:54.920 --> 00:28:55.200
 it is.

00:28:55.420 --> 00:28:55.720
 It's the

00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:56.600
 word kairos,

00:28:56.880 --> 00:28:57.540
 which is the

00:28:57.540 --> 00:28:57.940
 word for

00:28:57.940 --> 00:28:58.600
 seasons,

00:28:58.940 --> 00:28:59.480
 not the

00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:00.460
 word chronos,

00:29:00.620 --> 00:29:01.160
 which talks

00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:01.680
 about a very

00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:02.279
 distinct

00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:02.920
 time,

00:29:03.380 --> 00:29:03.800
 a time

00:29:03.800 --> 00:29:04.300
 signature.

00:29:04.299 --> 00:29:05.559
 Peter wants

00:29:05.559 --> 00:29:05.759
 him to

00:29:05.759 --> 00:29:05.940
 know,

00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:06.500
 these are

00:29:06.500 --> 00:29:07.379
 refreshing

00:29:07.379 --> 00:29:07.960
 times that

00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:08.180
 you can

00:29:08.180 --> 00:29:08.899
 enjoy for

00:29:08.899 --> 00:29:09.339
 the long

00:29:09.339 --> 00:29:09.639
 haul,

00:29:10.259 --> 00:29:10.659
 because of

00:29:10.659 --> 00:29:11.059
 what Christ

00:29:11.059 --> 00:29:11.720
 has accomplished.

00:29:12.659 --> 00:29:13.279
 It's refreshing

00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:14.119
 that he offers,

00:29:14.940 --> 00:29:15.559
 this forgiveness

00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:16.099
 of sin,

00:29:16.159 --> 00:29:16.599
 it's a different

00:29:16.599 --> 00:29:17.819
 kind than

00:29:17.819 --> 00:29:18.500
 Israel was

00:29:18.500 --> 00:29:19.119
 familiar with

00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:19.639
 because of

00:29:19.639 --> 00:29:20.480
 the once

00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:21.059
 for all

00:29:21.059 --> 00:29:21.700
 sacrifice

00:29:21.700 --> 00:29:22.680
 of Christ,

00:29:22.919 --> 00:29:23.700
 this permanent

00:29:23.700 --> 00:29:24.500
 refreshing,

00:29:24.940 --> 00:29:25.539
 this permanent

00:29:25.539 --> 00:29:26.019
 forgiveness,

00:29:26.379 --> 00:29:27.000
 this permanent

00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:28.639
 cleansing that

00:29:28.639 --> 00:29:29.279
 Jesus offers

00:29:29.279 --> 00:29:29.980
 now to

00:29:29.980 --> 00:29:31.379
 those who

00:29:31.379 --> 00:29:31.759
 are in

00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:32.559
 Christ through

00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:32.940
 faith.

00:29:32.940 --> 00:29:34.400
 And this

00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:34.620
 is the

00:29:34.620 --> 00:29:34.940
 kind of

00:29:34.940 --> 00:29:35.320
 refreshing

00:29:35.320 --> 00:29:36.900
 that God

00:29:36.900 --> 00:29:37.500
 offers and

00:29:37.500 --> 00:29:38.400
 extends through

00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:39.299
 his son.

00:29:40.500 --> 00:29:41.720
 It's the

00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:42.779
 refreshing that

00:29:42.779 --> 00:29:43.539
 Peter refers

00:29:43.539 --> 00:29:44.519
 to in

00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:45.120
 Acts 2

00:29:45.120 --> 00:29:45.580
 23,

00:29:45.740 --> 00:29:45.900
 he says,

00:29:46.080 --> 00:29:46.600
 this Jesus,

00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:47.279
 he was

00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:47.960
 delivered up

00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:48.539
 according to

00:29:48.539 --> 00:29:49.420
 the definite

00:29:49.420 --> 00:29:50.059
 plan and

00:29:50.059 --> 00:29:50.680
 foreknowledge of

00:29:50.680 --> 00:29:50.880
 God,

00:29:51.140 --> 00:29:51.840
 you crucified

00:29:51.840 --> 00:29:52.380
 and killed

00:29:52.380 --> 00:29:53.880
 at the hands

00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:54.400
 of lawless

00:29:54.400 --> 00:29:54.720
 men,

00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:56.240
 but he was

00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:56.740
 appointed for

00:29:56.740 --> 00:29:56.940
 you.

00:29:57.940 --> 00:29:58.320
 He was

00:29:58.320 --> 00:29:58.880
 appointed for

00:29:58.880 --> 00:29:59.120
 you.

00:29:59.940 --> 00:30:00.680
 The personal

00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:02.200
 nature of

00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:02.640
 what Christ

00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:03.340
 accomplished,

00:30:03.940 --> 00:30:05.319
 offered to

00:30:05.319 --> 00:30:05.819
 those who

00:30:05.819 --> 00:30:06.140
 were in

00:30:06.140 --> 00:30:06.620
 front of

00:30:06.620 --> 00:30:07.140
 the apostle

00:30:07.140 --> 00:30:07.539
 Peter,

00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:08.980
 those who

00:30:08.980 --> 00:30:09.720
 desperately

00:30:09.720 --> 00:30:11.080
 longed for

00:30:11.080 --> 00:30:11.600
 refreshing,

00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:12.620
 and Peter

00:30:12.620 --> 00:30:13.940
 wants them to

00:30:13.940 --> 00:30:14.539
 understand that

00:30:14.539 --> 00:30:14.900
 the real

00:30:14.900 --> 00:30:15.620
 refreshing that

00:30:15.620 --> 00:30:16.180
 you need is

00:30:16.180 --> 00:30:17.319
 found in

00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:17.640
 Jesus,

00:30:17.840 --> 00:30:18.140
 who was

00:30:18.140 --> 00:30:18.680
 appointed for

00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:18.900
 you.

00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:20.039
 Whether you

00:30:20.039 --> 00:30:20.880
 experience that

00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:22.500
 through repentance

00:30:22.500 --> 00:30:23.340
 and faith in

00:30:23.340 --> 00:30:23.539
 him.

00:30:24.580 --> 00:30:25.160
 And then this

00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:25.840
 promise that we

00:30:25.840 --> 00:30:26.860
 see of

00:30:26.860 --> 00:30:27.840
 restoration in

00:30:27.840 --> 00:30:28.420
 verse 21,

00:30:29.460 --> 00:30:29.880
 notice,

00:30:29.880 --> 00:30:30.860
 whom heaven

00:30:30.860 --> 00:30:31.860
 must receive

00:30:31.860 --> 00:30:32.900
 until the

00:30:32.900 --> 00:30:33.440
 time for

00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:34.860
 restoring all

00:30:34.860 --> 00:30:35.720
 things about

00:30:35.720 --> 00:30:36.380
 which God

00:30:36.380 --> 00:30:37.500
 spoke by the

00:30:37.500 --> 00:30:38.080
 mouth of his

00:30:38.080 --> 00:30:38.760
 holy prophets

00:30:38.760 --> 00:30:39.900
 long ago.

00:30:41.100 --> 00:30:41.960
 Did you catch

00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:42.200
 that?

00:30:43.340 --> 00:30:44.260
 This embedded

00:30:44.260 --> 00:30:45.820
 promise in

00:30:45.820 --> 00:30:46.400
 this statement?

00:30:47.780 --> 00:30:48.840
 Yes, Jesus is

00:30:48.840 --> 00:30:49.640
 in heaven right

00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:50.260
 now, okay?

00:30:50.980 --> 00:30:52.580
 But that is

00:30:52.580 --> 00:30:53.040
 not his

00:30:53.040 --> 00:30:53.380
 permanent

00:30:53.380 --> 00:30:54.020
 situation.

00:30:55.140 --> 00:30:56.420
 He is there,

00:30:56.420 --> 00:30:57.500
 but he is

00:30:57.500 --> 00:30:57.940
 there,

00:30:58.640 --> 00:30:59.460
 bounded by

00:30:59.460 --> 00:31:00.000
 this word

00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:00.539
 until,

00:31:01.500 --> 00:31:02.460
 until the

00:31:02.460 --> 00:31:03.300
 time for

00:31:03.300 --> 00:31:03.800
 restoring.

00:31:04.740 --> 00:31:05.480
 This word

00:31:05.480 --> 00:31:06.660
 that is used

00:31:06.660 --> 00:31:07.460
 here wants

00:31:07.460 --> 00:31:08.259
 to help us

00:31:08.259 --> 00:31:08.840
 understand there

00:31:08.840 --> 00:31:09.580
 is a terminal

00:31:09.580 --> 00:31:10.700
 boundary that is

00:31:10.700 --> 00:31:11.240
 in place.

00:31:11.860 --> 00:31:12.580
 He is there,

00:31:12.740 --> 00:31:13.539
 it is just the

00:31:13.539 --> 00:31:14.600
 waiting room for

00:31:14.600 --> 00:31:15.320
 the final

00:31:15.320 --> 00:31:16.620
 restoration he

00:31:16.620 --> 00:31:17.320
 intends to

00:31:17.320 --> 00:31:17.680
 give.

00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:18.900
 The restoration

00:31:18.900 --> 00:31:19.960
 hasn't happened

00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:20.380
 yet.

00:31:20.759 --> 00:31:21.519
 He is there

00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:22.400
 waiting in

00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:24.440
 the future

00:31:24.440 --> 00:31:25.759
 for us to

00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:26.259
 then enjoy

00:31:26.259 --> 00:31:27.200
 this full

00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:28.000
 restoration

00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:28.840
 that he's

00:31:28.840 --> 00:31:29.320
 promised.

00:31:30.299 --> 00:31:30.779
 Him being

00:31:30.779 --> 00:31:31.200
 in heaven

00:31:31.200 --> 00:31:31.860
 is not

00:31:31.860 --> 00:31:32.660
 the fulfillment.

00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:33.980
 It's the

00:31:33.980 --> 00:31:34.500
 waiting room.

00:31:34.580 --> 00:31:35.120
 The until

00:31:35.120 --> 00:31:36.120
 implies

00:31:36.120 --> 00:31:37.220
 incompleteness.

00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:38.580
 It implies

00:31:38.580 --> 00:31:39.140
 that something

00:31:39.140 --> 00:31:40.320
 remains outstanding.

00:31:41.100 --> 00:31:41.900
 That something

00:31:41.900 --> 00:31:43.400
 about restoration

00:31:43.400 --> 00:31:44.420
 has not yet

00:31:44.420 --> 00:31:44.779
 happened.

00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:46.299
 There will

00:31:46.299 --> 00:31:47.019
 be a time

00:31:47.019 --> 00:31:47.660
 of restoration.

00:31:48.100 --> 00:31:48.680
 It's yet

00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:49.259
 future.

00:31:49.259 --> 00:31:49.940
 It's not

00:31:49.940 --> 00:31:50.680
 in the past.

00:31:52.320 --> 00:31:53.380
 And the context

00:31:53.380 --> 00:31:54.480
 is significant

00:31:54.480 --> 00:31:55.660
 because for

00:31:55.660 --> 00:31:56.260
 this Greek

00:31:56.260 --> 00:31:57.100
 word restoration

00:31:57.100 --> 00:31:57.900
 that is only

00:31:57.900 --> 00:31:58.900
 used here

00:31:58.900 --> 00:31:59.800
 in this

00:31:59.800 --> 00:32:00.340
 verse,

00:32:00.740 --> 00:32:01.860
 it's shared

00:32:01.860 --> 00:32:02.580
 in a word

00:32:02.580 --> 00:32:03.620
 family for

00:32:03.620 --> 00:32:04.300
 restoration.

00:32:04.900 --> 00:32:05.800
 And the only

00:32:05.800 --> 00:32:06.280
 other time

00:32:06.280 --> 00:32:06.700
 it's used

00:32:06.700 --> 00:32:07.360
 in Acts,

00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:08.720
 we find in

00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:09.140
 Acts chapter

00:32:09.140 --> 00:32:09.740
 1-6.

00:32:10.520 --> 00:32:10.840
 Notice.

00:32:12.620 --> 00:32:13.300
 So when

00:32:13.300 --> 00:32:13.800
 they had come

00:32:13.800 --> 00:32:14.260
 together,

00:32:15.060 --> 00:32:15.600
 they asked

00:32:15.600 --> 00:32:15.880
 him,

00:32:16.500 --> 00:32:16.940
 this is the

00:32:16.940 --> 00:32:17.380
 disciples,

00:32:18.080 --> 00:32:18.300
 Lord,

00:32:18.440 --> 00:32:19.160
 will you at

00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:19.900
 this time

00:32:19.900 --> 00:32:21.520
 restore the

00:32:21.520 --> 00:32:22.520
 kingdom to

00:32:22.520 --> 00:32:22.860
 Israel?

00:32:23.380 --> 00:32:24.340
 They were

00:32:24.340 --> 00:32:24.820
 looking for

00:32:24.820 --> 00:32:25.200
 restoration.

00:32:26.200 --> 00:32:26.640
 They were

00:32:26.640 --> 00:32:27.280
 looking for

00:32:27.280 --> 00:32:27.840
 the Messiah.

00:32:27.980 --> 00:32:28.180
 They were

00:32:28.180 --> 00:32:28.620
 looking for

00:32:28.620 --> 00:32:29.040
 a king.

00:32:29.280 --> 00:32:29.480
 They were

00:32:29.480 --> 00:32:30.020
 looking for

00:32:30.020 --> 00:32:31.300
 Jesus to

00:32:31.300 --> 00:32:32.640
 establish his

00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:33.420
 throne in

00:32:33.420 --> 00:32:33.860
 Jerusalem.

00:32:34.100 --> 00:32:34.720
 That's what

00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:34.920
 they were

00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:35.520
 waiting for.

00:32:35.880 --> 00:32:36.160
 And you

00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:36.860
 remember that

00:32:36.860 --> 00:32:37.680
 Jesus for

00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:39.080
 40 days

00:32:39.080 --> 00:32:39.740
 before his

00:32:39.740 --> 00:32:40.960
 ascension is

00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:41.760
 talking about

00:32:41.760 --> 00:32:42.240
 the kingdom

00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:43.540
 and so the

00:32:43.540 --> 00:32:44.320
 apostles want

00:32:44.320 --> 00:32:44.640
 to know,

00:32:44.760 --> 00:32:45.280
 okay, so

00:32:45.280 --> 00:32:45.920
 when is it

00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:46.120
 going to

00:32:46.120 --> 00:32:46.400
 come?

00:32:47.280 --> 00:32:47.560
 Remember,

00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:48.300
 Jesus' answer

00:32:48.300 --> 00:32:48.520
 was,

00:32:48.620 --> 00:32:48.920
 it's not

00:32:48.920 --> 00:32:49.240
 for you to

00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:49.500
 know the

00:32:49.500 --> 00:32:49.960
 times or the

00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:50.240
 seasons.

00:32:51.780 --> 00:32:52.120
 And now

00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:52.399
 here we

00:32:52.399 --> 00:32:53.099
 are in

00:32:53.099 --> 00:32:53.659
 Acts 3

00:32:53.659 --> 00:32:55.219
 and Peter

00:32:55.219 --> 00:32:55.539
 is not

00:32:55.539 --> 00:32:56.199
 telling his

00:32:56.199 --> 00:32:56.579
 audience,

00:32:56.779 --> 00:32:56.899
 well,

00:32:57.399 --> 00:32:57.799
 there's no

00:32:57.799 --> 00:32:57.959
 more

00:32:57.959 --> 00:32:58.459
 restoration

00:32:58.459 --> 00:32:59.559
 that has

00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:00.279
 passed because

00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:00.599
 of your

00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:01.179
 rejection of

00:33:01.179 --> 00:33:01.579
 the Messiah.

00:33:01.799 --> 00:33:02.059
 Rather,

00:33:02.159 --> 00:33:02.619
 he says,

00:33:02.979 --> 00:33:03.159
 no,

00:33:03.219 --> 00:33:03.599
 there's a

00:33:03.599 --> 00:33:03.919
 restoration

00:33:03.919 --> 00:33:04.859
 coming and

00:33:04.859 --> 00:33:05.419
 we're waiting

00:33:05.419 --> 00:33:05.839
 for it.

00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:06.599
 It's coming.

00:33:07.399 --> 00:33:08.099
 It is in the

00:33:08.099 --> 00:33:09.559
 waiting room.

00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:10.679
 It's confirmation

00:33:10.679 --> 00:33:12.079
 that there will

00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:12.639
 be restoration

00:33:12.639 --> 00:33:13.299
 that will take

00:33:13.299 --> 00:33:13.719
 place.

00:33:13.720 --> 00:33:16.180
 And that's

00:33:16.180 --> 00:33:17.880
 what Israel

00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:19.620
 longed for.

00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:20.680
 You see,

00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:21.559
 Israel's problem

00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:22.500
 was not that

00:33:22.500 --> 00:33:23.279
 they expected

00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:23.779
 a kingdom.

00:33:24.740 --> 00:33:25.720
 Israel's problem

00:33:25.720 --> 00:33:26.720
 was they had

00:33:26.720 --> 00:33:27.140
 the wrong

00:33:27.140 --> 00:33:27.519
 timing.

00:33:28.360 --> 00:33:28.720
 And they

00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:29.460
 couldn't see

00:33:29.460 --> 00:33:30.140
 that the

00:33:30.140 --> 00:33:30.779
 suffering of

00:33:30.779 --> 00:33:31.559
 Christ had

00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:32.299
 to come before

00:33:32.299 --> 00:33:32.779
 the glory.

00:33:33.880 --> 00:33:34.220
 And that's

00:33:34.220 --> 00:33:34.700
 what we find

00:33:34.700 --> 00:33:35.319
 in 1 Peter

00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:36.460
 chapter 1

00:33:36.460 --> 00:33:36.940
 verses 10

00:33:36.940 --> 00:33:37.339
 and 11.

00:33:38.180 --> 00:33:38.880
 The prophets,

00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:39.400
 it says,

00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:40.220
 concerning this

00:33:40.220 --> 00:33:40.720
 salvation,

00:33:41.220 --> 00:33:41.720
 the prophets

00:33:41.720 --> 00:33:42.519
 who prophesied

00:33:42.519 --> 00:33:43.019
 about the

00:33:43.019 --> 00:33:43.940
 grace that

00:33:43.940 --> 00:33:44.460
 was to be

00:33:44.460 --> 00:33:45.339
 yours,

00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:46.220
 they searched

00:33:46.220 --> 00:33:46.759
 and inquired

00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:47.279
 carefully,

00:33:48.299 --> 00:33:49.379
 inquiring what

00:33:49.379 --> 00:33:50.200
 person or

00:33:50.200 --> 00:33:51.440
 time the

00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:51.920
 spirit of

00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:52.379
 Christ was

00:33:52.379 --> 00:33:53.839
 indicating when

00:33:53.839 --> 00:33:54.519
 he predicted

00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:55.859
 the sufferings

00:33:55.859 --> 00:33:56.639
 of Christ

00:33:56.639 --> 00:33:57.660
 and the

00:33:57.660 --> 00:33:58.200
 subsequent

00:33:58.200 --> 00:33:59.119
 glories.

00:34:00.660 --> 00:34:00.980
 And here

00:34:00.980 --> 00:34:01.720
 Peter wants

00:34:01.720 --> 00:34:02.259
 his audience

00:34:02.259 --> 00:34:03.440
 to know there

00:34:03.440 --> 00:34:04.139
 are times of

00:34:04.139 --> 00:34:04.519
 refreshing.

00:34:04.819 --> 00:34:05.059
 Yes,

00:34:05.359 --> 00:34:06.079
 you rejected

00:34:06.079 --> 00:34:06.720
 your Messiah.

00:34:07.160 --> 00:34:07.440
 Yes,

00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:08.219
 you delivered

00:34:08.219 --> 00:34:09.079
 him up to

00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:09.440
 Pilate.

00:34:09.980 --> 00:34:10.300
 Yes,

00:34:10.360 --> 00:34:10.920
 you turned

00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:11.599
 your back on

00:34:11.599 --> 00:34:12.039
 the author

00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:12.420
 of life.

00:34:12.420 --> 00:34:12.960
 Yes,

00:34:13.019 --> 00:34:13.380
 you put

00:34:13.380 --> 00:34:13.639
 him to

00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:13.860
 death,

00:34:13.980 --> 00:34:14.539
 but that

00:34:14.539 --> 00:34:15.119
 has not

00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:15.780
 disqualified

00:34:15.780 --> 00:34:16.500
 God's

00:34:16.500 --> 00:34:17.059
 promises to

00:34:17.059 --> 00:34:17.220
 you.

00:34:17.340 --> 00:34:18.240
 The invitation

00:34:18.240 --> 00:34:19.000
 is still

00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:19.300
 open.

00:34:19.579 --> 00:34:20.119
 The restoration

00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:20.800
 is still

00:34:20.800 --> 00:34:21.119
 waiting.

00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:21.880
 Will you

00:34:21.880 --> 00:34:22.500
 repent

00:34:22.500 --> 00:34:23.280
 in turn

00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:23.900
 in faith

00:34:23.900 --> 00:34:24.680
 and enjoy

00:34:24.680 --> 00:34:25.280
 the benefits

00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:25.740
 of this

00:34:25.740 --> 00:34:26.700
 promise?

00:34:27.740 --> 00:34:28.340
 God's promise

00:34:28.340 --> 00:34:28.940
 is still

00:34:28.940 --> 00:34:29.740
 intact.

00:34:31.099 --> 00:34:31.680
 We find

00:34:31.680 --> 00:34:32.880
 this promise

00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:33.760
 all through

00:34:33.760 --> 00:34:34.240
 the scriptures,

00:34:34.420 --> 00:34:34.639
 through the

00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:35.039
 prophets

00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:35.460
 that are

00:34:35.460 --> 00:34:36.900
 speaking to

00:34:36.900 --> 00:34:37.220
 us.

00:34:37.820 --> 00:34:38.460
 So receive

00:34:38.460 --> 00:34:39.159
 the message

00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:40.059
 of God's

00:34:40.059 --> 00:34:40.399
 promise

00:34:40.399 --> 00:34:41.179
 and respond

00:34:41.179 --> 00:34:42.000
 to the

00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:42.339
 call of

00:34:42.339 --> 00:34:42.719
 repentance.

00:34:43.759 --> 00:34:44.059
 And then

00:34:44.059 --> 00:34:44.379
 what we

00:34:44.379 --> 00:34:44.779
 find in

00:34:44.779 --> 00:34:45.299
 verse 22

00:34:45.299 --> 00:34:45.819
 and 23,

00:34:46.460 --> 00:34:47.619
 listen to

00:34:47.619 --> 00:34:48.079
 the witness

00:34:48.079 --> 00:34:48.799
 of the

00:34:48.799 --> 00:34:49.059
 prophets.

00:34:50.099 --> 00:34:50.559
 Listen to

00:34:50.559 --> 00:34:51.019
 the witness

00:34:51.019 --> 00:34:51.980
 of the

00:34:51.980 --> 00:34:52.239
 prophets.

00:34:52.239 --> 00:34:53.239
 Verse 22,

00:34:53.239 --> 00:34:55.239
 Moses said,

00:34:55.859 --> 00:34:56.119
 the Lord

00:34:56.119 --> 00:34:56.619
 God will

00:34:56.619 --> 00:34:57.000
 raise up

00:34:57.000 --> 00:34:57.299
 for you

00:34:57.299 --> 00:34:57.679
 a prophet

00:34:57.679 --> 00:34:58.199
 like me

00:34:58.199 --> 00:34:58.979
 from your

00:34:58.979 --> 00:34:59.439
 brothers.

00:34:59.959 --> 00:35:00.399
 You shall

00:35:00.399 --> 00:35:00.979
 listen to

00:35:00.979 --> 00:35:02.139
 him in

00:35:02.139 --> 00:35:02.639
 whatever he

00:35:02.639 --> 00:35:03.139
 tells you.

00:35:03.779 --> 00:35:04.000
 And it

00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:04.359
 shall be

00:35:04.359 --> 00:35:05.239
 that every

00:35:05.239 --> 00:35:06.000
 soul who

00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:06.379
 does not

00:35:06.379 --> 00:35:06.799
 listen to

00:35:06.799 --> 00:35:07.359
 that prophet

00:35:07.359 --> 00:35:08.099
 shall be

00:35:08.099 --> 00:35:08.579
 destroyed

00:35:08.579 --> 00:35:08.919
 from the

00:35:08.919 --> 00:35:09.219
 people.

00:35:10.219 --> 00:35:10.759
 And all

00:35:10.759 --> 00:35:11.339
 the prophets

00:35:11.339 --> 00:35:12.119
 who have

00:35:12.119 --> 00:35:12.819
 spoken from

00:35:12.819 --> 00:35:13.959
 Samuel and

00:35:13.959 --> 00:35:14.359
 those who

00:35:14.359 --> 00:35:14.879
 came after

00:35:14.879 --> 00:35:16.000
 him also

00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:16.539
 proclaimed

00:35:16.539 --> 00:35:17.479
 these days.

00:35:18.539 --> 00:35:19.039
 So listen

00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:19.519
 to the witness

00:35:19.519 --> 00:35:20.039
 of the prophets.

00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:20.419
 What did the

00:35:20.419 --> 00:35:20.979
 prophets say?

00:35:21.879 --> 00:35:22.119
 Well,

00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:23.199
 this first

00:35:23.199 --> 00:35:23.519
 prophet,

00:35:23.699 --> 00:35:24.539
 the most

00:35:24.539 --> 00:35:24.980
 prominent

00:35:24.980 --> 00:35:25.440
 prophet,

00:35:25.659 --> 00:35:26.019
 Moses,

00:35:26.579 --> 00:35:27.339
 would speak.

00:35:28.059 --> 00:35:28.440
 So listen

00:35:28.440 --> 00:35:29.079
 to the witness

00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:29.920
 of Moses,

00:35:30.420 --> 00:35:30.940
 this prophet.

00:35:32.019 --> 00:35:32.719
 God gave

00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:34.440
 Moses to

00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:36.119
 help build

00:35:36.119 --> 00:35:36.779
 a sense

00:35:36.779 --> 00:35:37.639
 of expectation.

00:35:38.960 --> 00:35:39.359
 What sort

00:35:39.359 --> 00:35:39.940
 of prophet,

00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:40.819
 what sort

00:35:40.819 --> 00:35:41.339
 of greater

00:35:41.339 --> 00:35:42.119
 prophet would

00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:43.420
 the people

00:35:43.420 --> 00:35:43.980
 look for?

00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:45.299
 Well, we

00:35:45.299 --> 00:35:45.900
 see in

00:35:45.900 --> 00:35:46.460
 Deuteronomy

00:35:46.460 --> 00:35:48.219
 several clues

00:35:48.219 --> 00:35:49.119
 of what this

00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:49.679
 prophet would

00:35:49.679 --> 00:35:49.940
 do.

00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:51.500
 Deuteronomy

00:35:51.500 --> 00:35:52.219
 chapter 18

00:35:52.219 --> 00:35:52.820
 verse 18

00:35:52.820 --> 00:35:53.340
 we find

00:35:53.340 --> 00:35:53.960
 that he

00:35:53.960 --> 00:35:54.960
 will speak

00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:55.559
 the words

00:35:55.559 --> 00:35:56.039
 of God.

00:35:57.039 --> 00:35:57.199
 I will

00:35:57.199 --> 00:35:57.639
 raise up

00:35:57.639 --> 00:35:58.039
 for them

00:35:58.039 --> 00:35:58.519
 a prophet

00:35:58.519 --> 00:35:59.019
 like you

00:35:59.019 --> 00:35:59.539
 from among

00:35:59.539 --> 00:36:00.659
 their brothers.

00:36:01.059 --> 00:36:01.559
 I will

00:36:01.559 --> 00:36:01.980
 put my

00:36:01.980 --> 00:36:02.460
 words in

00:36:02.460 --> 00:36:02.900
 his mouth.

00:36:03.159 --> 00:36:03.679
 He shall

00:36:03.679 --> 00:36:04.159
 speak to

00:36:04.159 --> 00:36:04.780
 them all

00:36:04.780 --> 00:36:05.360
 that I

00:36:05.360 --> 00:36:05.840
 commanded

00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:06.099
 him.

00:36:07.460 --> 00:36:07.699
 What do

00:36:07.699 --> 00:36:07.880
 you look

00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:08.079
 for?

00:36:08.199 --> 00:36:08.639
 Well, first

00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:08.980
 you look

00:36:08.980 --> 00:36:10.420
 for a prophet

00:36:10.420 --> 00:36:11.099
 who speaks

00:36:11.099 --> 00:36:12.019
 my words.

00:36:12.599 --> 00:36:13.139
 He's going

00:36:13.139 --> 00:36:13.679
 to speak

00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:14.059
 for me.

00:36:14.219 --> 00:36:14.500
 He's going

00:36:14.500 --> 00:36:14.960
 to speak

00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:15.460
 the truth.

00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:16.099
 He's going

00:36:16.099 --> 00:36:16.480
 to tell

00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:17.340
 you what

00:36:17.340 --> 00:36:18.179
 you need

00:36:18.179 --> 00:36:18.559
 to hear.

00:36:18.760 --> 00:36:19.219
 Those words

00:36:19.219 --> 00:36:19.460
 are going

00:36:19.460 --> 00:36:19.880
 to be coming

00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:20.619
 from me

00:36:20.619 --> 00:36:21.019
 directly.

00:36:22.019 --> 00:36:22.420
 Second,

00:36:22.900 --> 00:36:23.340
 you need

00:36:23.340 --> 00:36:23.500
 to be

00:36:23.500 --> 00:36:23.940
 looking for

00:36:23.940 --> 00:36:24.320
 a prophet

00:36:24.320 --> 00:36:24.820
 who speaks

00:36:24.820 --> 00:36:25.260
 with God's

00:36:25.260 --> 00:36:25.739
 authority.

00:36:26.460 --> 00:36:27.179
 Verse 19,

00:36:28.340 --> 00:36:28.820
 whoever will

00:36:28.820 --> 00:36:29.440
 not listen

00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:30.239
 to my

00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:30.719
 words

00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:31.460
 that he

00:36:31.460 --> 00:36:31.960
 shall speak

00:36:31.960 --> 00:36:32.260
 in my

00:36:32.260 --> 00:36:32.519
 name,

00:36:32.719 --> 00:36:33.019
 I

00:36:33.019 --> 00:36:34.019
 myself

00:36:34.019 --> 00:36:34.739
 will

00:36:34.739 --> 00:36:35.260
 require it

00:36:35.260 --> 00:36:35.559
 of him.

00:36:36.219 --> 00:36:36.900
 If you

00:36:36.900 --> 00:36:37.340
 don't listen

00:36:37.340 --> 00:36:37.920
 to the

00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:38.159
 words of

00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:38.599
 this prophet,

00:36:39.219 --> 00:36:39.860
 then you're

00:36:39.860 --> 00:36:40.159
 culpable.

00:36:41.480 --> 00:36:42.860
 You are

00:36:42.860 --> 00:36:44.440
 under obligation

00:36:44.440 --> 00:36:45.559
 to obey

00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:46.159
 the words

00:36:46.159 --> 00:36:46.619
 that I've

00:36:46.619 --> 00:36:46.900
 spoken.

00:36:46.900 --> 00:36:48.860
 so he

00:36:48.860 --> 00:36:49.340
 will speak

00:36:49.340 --> 00:36:49.780
 with God's

00:36:49.780 --> 00:36:50.200
 authority.

00:36:50.740 --> 00:36:51.119
 Third,

00:36:51.400 --> 00:36:51.660
 we're going

00:36:51.660 --> 00:36:51.940
 to find

00:36:51.940 --> 00:36:52.200
 that the

00:36:52.200 --> 00:36:52.700
 true prophet

00:36:52.700 --> 00:36:54.700
 will speak

00:36:54.700 --> 00:36:55.180
 words that

00:36:55.180 --> 00:36:55.840
 come true.

00:36:56.519 --> 00:36:57.420
 In verse

00:36:57.420 --> 00:36:57.840
 22,

00:36:58.000 --> 00:36:58.300
 it says

00:36:58.300 --> 00:36:58.700
 this,

00:36:59.420 --> 00:36:59.579
 when a

00:36:59.579 --> 00:37:00.420
 prophet speaks

00:37:00.420 --> 00:37:01.019
 in the name

00:37:01.019 --> 00:37:01.260
 of the

00:37:01.260 --> 00:37:01.480
 Lord,

00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:02.340
 if the

00:37:02.340 --> 00:37:03.380
 word does

00:37:03.380 --> 00:37:03.940
 not come

00:37:03.940 --> 00:37:04.559
 to pass

00:37:04.559 --> 00:37:05.420
 or come

00:37:05.420 --> 00:37:05.840
 true,

00:37:06.340 --> 00:37:06.900
 that is a

00:37:06.900 --> 00:37:07.200
 word that

00:37:07.200 --> 00:37:07.539
 the Lord

00:37:07.539 --> 00:37:08.079
 has not

00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:08.579
 spoken.

00:37:09.420 --> 00:37:10.019
 The prophet

00:37:10.019 --> 00:37:10.880
 has spoken

00:37:10.880 --> 00:37:11.900
 it presumptuously.

00:37:11.900 --> 00:37:13.099
 you need

00:37:13.099 --> 00:37:13.720
 not be

00:37:13.720 --> 00:37:14.200
 afraid of

00:37:14.200 --> 00:37:14.340
 him.

00:37:15.579 --> 00:37:15.980
 He's going

00:37:15.980 --> 00:37:16.400
 to speak

00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:16.940
 words that

00:37:16.940 --> 00:37:17.440
 will come

00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:17.900
 to pass.

00:37:18.740 --> 00:37:19.180
 And finally,

00:37:19.720 --> 00:37:20.139
 fourth,

00:37:20.660 --> 00:37:21.099
 his life

00:37:21.099 --> 00:37:21.660
 will match

00:37:21.660 --> 00:37:22.260
 his message.

00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:22.680
 We find

00:37:22.680 --> 00:37:23.079
 that in

00:37:23.079 --> 00:37:23.840
 Deuteronomy

00:37:23.840 --> 00:37:24.579
 chapter 13

00:37:24.579 --> 00:37:25.139
 verses 1

00:37:25.139 --> 00:37:25.519
 and 3.

00:37:26.180 --> 00:37:26.599
 If a

00:37:26.599 --> 00:37:27.059
 prophet or

00:37:27.059 --> 00:37:27.480
 dreamer

00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:28.300
 of dreams

00:37:28.300 --> 00:37:28.980
 arises

00:37:28.980 --> 00:37:29.599
 among you

00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:30.380
 and gives

00:37:30.380 --> 00:37:30.680
 you a

00:37:30.680 --> 00:37:31.519
 sign or

00:37:31.519 --> 00:37:32.039
 a wonder

00:37:32.039 --> 00:37:33.059
 and that

00:37:33.059 --> 00:37:33.579
 sign or

00:37:33.579 --> 00:37:34.180
 wonder that

00:37:34.180 --> 00:37:34.619
 he tells

00:37:34.619 --> 00:37:35.059
 you comes

00:37:35.059 --> 00:37:35.680
 to pass

00:37:35.680 --> 00:37:36.599
 and if

00:37:36.599 --> 00:37:36.980
 he says

00:37:36.980 --> 00:37:37.480
 let us

00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:37.820
 go after

00:37:37.820 --> 00:37:38.519
 other gods

00:37:38.519 --> 00:37:39.059
 which you

00:37:39.059 --> 00:37:39.420
 have not

00:37:39.420 --> 00:37:39.840
 known

00:37:39.840 --> 00:37:40.920
 and let us

00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:41.619
 serve them

00:37:41.619 --> 00:37:42.779
 you shall

00:37:42.779 --> 00:37:43.299
 not listen

00:37:43.299 --> 00:37:43.599
 to the

00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:43.880
 words of

00:37:43.880 --> 00:37:44.299
 that prophet

00:37:44.299 --> 00:37:45.159
 or that

00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:45.539
 dreamer

00:37:45.539 --> 00:37:46.099
 of dreams

00:37:46.099 --> 00:37:47.019
 for the

00:37:47.019 --> 00:37:47.639
 Lord your

00:37:47.639 --> 00:37:48.039
 God is

00:37:48.039 --> 00:37:48.719
 testing you

00:37:48.719 --> 00:37:49.460
 to know

00:37:49.460 --> 00:37:49.980
 whether you

00:37:49.980 --> 00:37:50.539
 love the

00:37:50.539 --> 00:37:50.940
 Lord your

00:37:50.940 --> 00:37:51.279
 God

00:37:51.279 --> 00:37:52.179
 with all

00:37:52.179 --> 00:37:52.619
 your heart

00:37:52.619 --> 00:37:53.299
 and with

00:37:53.299 --> 00:37:53.559
 all your

00:37:53.559 --> 00:37:53.819
 soul.

00:37:54.719 --> 00:37:55.359
 There are

00:37:55.359 --> 00:37:55.659
 going to be

00:37:55.659 --> 00:37:56.159
 those false

00:37:56.159 --> 00:37:56.480
 prophets

00:37:56.480 --> 00:37:57.579
 and those

00:37:57.579 --> 00:37:58.659
 false prophets

00:37:58.659 --> 00:37:59.159
 may even

00:37:59.159 --> 00:37:59.659
 get it right

00:37:59.659 --> 00:38:00.099
 once in a

00:38:00.099 --> 00:38:00.319
 while.

00:38:00.759 --> 00:38:01.339
 But if you

00:38:01.339 --> 00:38:01.900
 can find

00:38:01.900 --> 00:38:02.239
 from the

00:38:02.239 --> 00:38:02.679
 trajectory

00:38:02.679 --> 00:38:03.059
 of their

00:38:03.059 --> 00:38:03.400
 life

00:38:03.400 --> 00:38:03.980
 that their

00:38:03.980 --> 00:38:04.420
 life is

00:38:04.420 --> 00:38:04.819
 out of

00:38:04.819 --> 00:38:05.420
 sync

00:38:05.420 --> 00:38:06.579
 with worship

00:38:06.579 --> 00:38:07.079
 of the

00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:07.819
 true God

00:38:07.819 --> 00:38:09.099
 then don't

00:38:09.099 --> 00:38:09.639
 follow them

00:38:09.639 --> 00:38:10.539
 because the

00:38:10.539 --> 00:38:11.099
 words of

00:38:11.099 --> 00:38:11.440
 the true

00:38:11.440 --> 00:38:12.440
 prophet will

00:38:12.440 --> 00:38:13.099
 be in

00:38:13.099 --> 00:38:13.639
 alignment

00:38:13.639 --> 00:38:15.700
 with the

00:38:15.700 --> 00:38:16.539
 testimony of

00:38:16.539 --> 00:38:16.840
 scripture.

00:38:17.720 --> 00:38:18.960
 His life

00:38:18.960 --> 00:38:19.780
 will match

00:38:19.780 --> 00:38:20.840
 his message.

00:38:22.240 --> 00:38:22.740
 And so when

00:38:22.740 --> 00:38:23.539
 people looked at

00:38:23.539 --> 00:38:23.960
 the life of

00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:24.200
 Jesus

00:38:24.200 --> 00:38:25.619
 they knew

00:38:25.619 --> 00:38:27.280
 here is a

00:38:27.280 --> 00:38:27.619
 prophet

00:38:27.619 --> 00:38:29.039
 he is one

00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:29.559
 who spoke

00:38:29.559 --> 00:38:30.179
 God's word

00:38:30.179 --> 00:38:30.920
 he is one

00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:31.440
 who spoke

00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:31.900
 with God's

00:38:31.900 --> 00:38:32.360
 authority

00:38:32.360 --> 00:38:33.200
 he is one

00:38:33.200 --> 00:38:34.320
 whose words

00:38:34.320 --> 00:38:35.099
 proved true

00:38:35.099 --> 00:38:35.780
 he is one

00:38:35.780 --> 00:38:36.480
 whose life

00:38:36.480 --> 00:38:37.340
 matched his

00:38:37.340 --> 00:38:37.900
 message

00:38:37.900 --> 00:38:39.380
 and because

00:38:39.380 --> 00:38:40.039
 of the

00:38:40.039 --> 00:38:40.740
 integrity

00:38:40.740 --> 00:38:42.059
 of Christ's

00:38:42.059 --> 00:38:42.519
 ministry

00:38:42.519 --> 00:38:43.720
 the people

00:38:43.720 --> 00:38:44.579
 thought

00:38:44.579 --> 00:38:45.220
 this must

00:38:45.220 --> 00:38:45.519
 be the

00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:46.019
 true prophet

00:38:46.019 --> 00:38:47.019
 we find

00:38:47.019 --> 00:38:47.280
 that in

00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:47.680
 John chapter

00:38:47.680 --> 00:38:48.240
 6 verse

00:38:48.240 --> 00:38:48.740
 14

00:38:48.740 --> 00:38:50.200
 after the

00:38:50.200 --> 00:38:50.700
 people saw

00:38:50.700 --> 00:38:51.420
 the miraculous

00:38:51.420 --> 00:38:52.059
 sign that

00:38:52.059 --> 00:38:52.680
 Jesus did

00:38:52.680 --> 00:38:54.099
 they began

00:38:54.099 --> 00:38:54.660
 to say

00:38:54.660 --> 00:38:55.360
 surely

00:38:55.360 --> 00:38:56.280
 this is

00:38:56.280 --> 00:38:56.820
 the prophet

00:38:56.820 --> 00:38:57.800
 who has

00:38:57.800 --> 00:38:58.180
 come into

00:38:58.180 --> 00:38:58.599
 the world

00:38:58.599 --> 00:39:00.200
 and then in

00:39:00.200 --> 00:39:00.680
 John chapter

00:39:00.680 --> 00:39:01.160
 7 verse

00:39:01.160 --> 00:39:01.519
 40

00:39:01.519 --> 00:39:02.579
 on hearing

00:39:02.579 --> 00:39:03.160
 his words

00:39:03.160 --> 00:39:03.840
 some of the

00:39:03.840 --> 00:39:04.440
 people said

00:39:04.440 --> 00:39:05.159
 surely

00:39:05.159 --> 00:39:06.320
 this man

00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:06.860
 is the

00:39:06.860 --> 00:39:07.179
 prophet

00:39:07.179 --> 00:39:09.460
 they knew

00:39:09.460 --> 00:39:10.780
 that Jesus

00:39:10.780 --> 00:39:11.400
 was the one

00:39:11.400 --> 00:39:13.039
 they knew

00:39:13.039 --> 00:39:13.559
 that he was

00:39:13.559 --> 00:39:14.380
 the greater

00:39:14.380 --> 00:39:14.780
 prophet

00:39:14.780 --> 00:39:15.599
 and yet they

00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:16.240
 still rejected

00:39:16.240 --> 00:39:16.500
 him

00:39:16.500 --> 00:39:17.860
 and we find

00:39:17.860 --> 00:39:18.460
 as a testimony

00:39:18.460 --> 00:39:19.119
 in this

00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:19.559
 passage

00:39:19.559 --> 00:39:20.400
 those who

00:39:20.400 --> 00:39:20.780
 do not

00:39:20.780 --> 00:39:21.240
 listen to

00:39:21.240 --> 00:39:21.579
 Jesus

00:39:21.579 --> 00:39:22.360
 shall be

00:39:22.360 --> 00:39:22.820
 destroyed

00:39:22.820 --> 00:39:24.119
 but that's

00:39:24.119 --> 00:39:24.360
 not

00:39:24.360 --> 00:39:24.880
 that's not

00:39:24.880 --> 00:39:25.159
 God's

00:39:25.159 --> 00:39:25.400
 hope

00:39:25.400 --> 00:39:26.440
 God

00:39:26.440 --> 00:39:27.599
 invites us

00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:28.079
 to enjoy

00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:28.559
 times of

00:39:28.559 --> 00:39:28.940
 refreshing

00:39:28.940 --> 00:39:30.500
 he doesn't

00:39:30.500 --> 00:39:30.800
 want us

00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:31.019
 to be

00:39:31.019 --> 00:39:31.420
 destroyed

00:39:31.420 --> 00:39:31.780
 he wants

00:39:31.780 --> 00:39:32.159
 us to

00:39:32.159 --> 00:39:33.500
 repent

00:39:33.500 --> 00:39:34.460
 to turn

00:39:34.460 --> 00:39:34.739
 away

00:39:34.739 --> 00:39:35.320
 from sin

00:39:35.320 --> 00:39:36.239
 to turn

00:39:36.239 --> 00:39:36.840
 to Christ

00:39:36.840 --> 00:39:38.139
 to enjoy

00:39:38.139 --> 00:39:38.900
 the blessing

00:39:38.900 --> 00:39:40.000
 that Christ

00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:40.820
 intends to

00:39:40.820 --> 00:39:41.139
 offer

00:39:41.139 --> 00:39:42.380
 and then we

00:39:42.380 --> 00:39:42.639
 have the

00:39:42.639 --> 00:39:43.099
 witness of

00:39:43.099 --> 00:39:43.559
 the prophets

00:39:43.559 --> 00:39:43.960
 in verse

00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:44.500
 24

00:39:44.500 --> 00:39:45.960
 all the

00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:46.280
 prophets

00:39:46.280 --> 00:39:46.579
 who have

00:39:46.579 --> 00:39:47.119
 spoken from

00:39:47.119 --> 00:39:47.500
 Saul

00:39:47.500 --> 00:39:48.199
 and those

00:39:48.199 --> 00:39:48.500
 who came

00:39:48.500 --> 00:39:48.960
 after him

00:39:48.960 --> 00:39:49.500
 also

00:39:49.500 --> 00:39:49.980
 proclaimed

00:39:49.980 --> 00:39:50.679
 these days

00:39:50.679 --> 00:39:52.320
 you have

00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:53.079
 sufficient

00:39:53.079 --> 00:39:53.820
 voices

00:39:53.820 --> 00:39:54.920
 by the

00:39:54.920 --> 00:39:55.300
 mouth of

00:39:55.300 --> 00:39:55.559
 two or

00:39:55.559 --> 00:39:56.079
 three witnesses

00:39:56.079 --> 00:39:56.079


00:39:56.079 --> 00:39:56.460
 a thing

00:39:56.460 --> 00:39:56.760
 shall be

00:39:56.760 --> 00:39:57.300
 established

00:39:57.300 --> 00:39:57.960
 God has

00:39:57.960 --> 00:39:58.420
 given you

00:39:58.420 --> 00:39:58.960
 plenty of

00:39:58.960 --> 00:39:59.260
 prophets

00:39:59.260 --> 00:39:59.599
 you know

00:39:59.599 --> 00:40:00.099
 exactly

00:40:00.099 --> 00:40:01.880
 who to

00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:02.320
 look for

00:40:02.320 --> 00:40:03.580
 and they

00:40:03.580 --> 00:40:03.880
 did

00:40:03.880 --> 00:40:04.660
 and that

00:40:04.660 --> 00:40:05.100
 they still

00:40:05.100 --> 00:40:05.640
 rejected

00:40:05.640 --> 00:40:06.980
 Jesus

00:40:06.980 --> 00:40:08.019
 finally

00:40:08.019 --> 00:40:09.480
 rest in

00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:09.940
 the blessings

00:40:09.940 --> 00:40:10.620
 of God's

00:40:10.620 --> 00:40:10.940
 servant

00:40:10.940 --> 00:40:12.039
 rest in

00:40:12.039 --> 00:40:12.440
 the blessings

00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:12.920
 of God's

00:40:12.920 --> 00:40:13.160
 servant

00:40:13.160 --> 00:40:15.080
 we find

00:40:15.080 --> 00:40:15.600
 the blessings

00:40:15.600 --> 00:40:16.480
 promised through

00:40:16.480 --> 00:40:16.880
 Abraham

00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:17.800
 in verse

00:40:17.800 --> 00:40:18.240
 25

00:40:18.240 --> 00:40:18.660
 it says

00:40:18.660 --> 00:40:18.940
 you are

00:40:18.940 --> 00:40:19.480
 the sons

00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:20.539
 of the

00:40:20.539 --> 00:40:20.980
 prophets

00:40:20.980 --> 00:40:21.660
 and of

00:40:21.660 --> 00:40:22.120
 the covenant

00:40:22.120 --> 00:40:23.220
 that God

00:40:23.220 --> 00:40:23.559
 made with

00:40:23.559 --> 00:40:24.039
 your fathers

00:40:24.039 --> 00:40:24.760
 saying to

00:40:24.760 --> 00:40:25.160
 Abraham

00:40:25.160 --> 00:40:26.580
 in your

00:40:26.580 --> 00:40:27.100
 offspring

00:40:27.100 --> 00:40:27.860
 shall all

00:40:27.860 --> 00:40:28.380
 the families

00:40:28.380 --> 00:40:28.920
 of the earth

00:40:28.920 --> 00:40:29.480
 be blessed

00:40:29.480 --> 00:40:31.719
 in your

00:40:31.719 --> 00:40:33.639
 in your

00:40:33.639 --> 00:40:36.079
 offspring

00:40:36.079 --> 00:40:36.679
 shall all

00:40:36.679 --> 00:40:37.280
 the families

00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:38.260
 of the earth

00:40:38.260 --> 00:40:39.240
 be blessed

00:40:39.240 --> 00:40:40.579
 these were

00:40:40.579 --> 00:40:41.380
 promises given

00:40:41.380 --> 00:40:42.039
 to

00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:43.360
 the sons

00:40:43.360 --> 00:40:43.840
 of Abraham

00:40:43.840 --> 00:40:45.420
 they were

00:40:45.420 --> 00:40:46.079
 beneficiaries

00:40:46.079 --> 00:40:47.079
 of the promise

00:40:47.079 --> 00:40:47.699
 that God gave

00:40:47.699 --> 00:40:48.400
 all the way

00:40:48.400 --> 00:40:48.780
 back

00:40:48.780 --> 00:40:50.079
 thousands of

00:40:50.079 --> 00:40:50.260
 years

00:40:50.260 --> 00:40:51.260
 1500 years

00:40:51.260 --> 00:40:51.800
 before the

00:40:51.800 --> 00:40:52.139
 time of

00:40:52.139 --> 00:40:52.519
 Christ

00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:54.240
 and those

00:40:54.240 --> 00:40:54.740
 promises

00:40:54.740 --> 00:40:55.500
 stood

00:40:55.500 --> 00:40:56.219
 and now

00:40:56.219 --> 00:40:56.820
 Peter wants

00:40:56.820 --> 00:40:57.199
 to direct

00:40:57.199 --> 00:40:57.659
 attention

00:40:57.659 --> 00:40:58.320
 to the fact

00:40:58.320 --> 00:40:58.619
 that those

00:40:58.619 --> 00:40:59.099
 promises

00:40:59.099 --> 00:41:00.380
 still stand

00:41:00.380 --> 00:41:00.900
 and you

00:41:00.900 --> 00:41:01.339
 are still

00:41:01.339 --> 00:41:01.900
 beneficiaries

00:41:01.900 --> 00:41:02.880
 of those

00:41:02.880 --> 00:41:03.339
 promises

00:41:03.339 --> 00:41:03.940
 if you

00:41:03.940 --> 00:41:05.380
 believe in

00:41:05.380 --> 00:41:05.759
 Jesus

00:41:05.759 --> 00:41:07.699
 those promises

00:41:07.699 --> 00:41:08.219
 of blessing

00:41:08.219 --> 00:41:09.019
 are intended

00:41:09.019 --> 00:41:09.579
 to be carried

00:41:09.579 --> 00:41:10.599
 through you

00:41:10.599 --> 00:41:11.860
 not in spite

00:41:11.860 --> 00:41:12.659
 of you

00:41:12.659 --> 00:41:13.519
 your rebellion

00:41:13.519 --> 00:41:13.980
 has not

00:41:13.980 --> 00:41:14.599
 cancelled

00:41:14.599 --> 00:41:15.739
 his promise

00:41:15.739 --> 00:41:16.619
 rather

00:41:16.619 --> 00:41:17.259
 your rebellion

00:41:17.259 --> 00:41:18.119
 has established

00:41:18.119 --> 00:41:18.799
 the need

00:41:18.799 --> 00:41:19.360
 for God's

00:41:19.360 --> 00:41:19.779
 solution

00:41:19.779 --> 00:41:20.319
 and has

00:41:20.319 --> 00:41:21.519
 given you

00:41:21.519 --> 00:41:23.119
 the opportunity

00:41:23.119 --> 00:41:24.239
 to carry

00:41:24.239 --> 00:41:24.839
 that promise

00:41:24.839 --> 00:41:25.299
 forward

00:41:25.299 --> 00:41:27.019
 to establish

00:41:27.019 --> 00:41:28.860
 once and

00:41:28.860 --> 00:41:29.219
 for all

00:41:29.219 --> 00:41:29.639
 that the

00:41:29.639 --> 00:41:30.059
 promises

00:41:30.059 --> 00:41:30.579
 to Abraham

00:41:30.579 --> 00:41:31.539
 are secure

00:41:31.539 --> 00:41:33.599
 and that's

00:41:33.599 --> 00:41:34.039
 what God

00:41:34.039 --> 00:41:35.000
 is working

00:41:35.000 --> 00:41:35.360
 out

00:41:35.360 --> 00:41:35.759
 through

00:41:35.759 --> 00:41:37.059
 the gospel

00:41:37.059 --> 00:41:37.759
 through the

00:41:37.759 --> 00:41:38.039
 gospel

00:41:38.039 --> 00:41:39.119
 of Christ

00:41:39.119 --> 00:41:40.980
 you see

00:41:40.980 --> 00:41:41.820
 it's through

00:41:41.820 --> 00:41:42.259
 faith

00:41:42.259 --> 00:41:43.219
 in the name

00:41:43.219 --> 00:41:43.759
 of Christ

00:41:43.759 --> 00:41:45.019
 that we get

00:41:45.019 --> 00:41:45.420
 to enjoy

00:41:45.420 --> 00:41:46.019
 the benefits

00:41:46.019 --> 00:41:46.980
 of the promises

00:41:46.980 --> 00:41:47.800
 originally given

00:41:47.800 --> 00:41:48.860
 to Abraham

00:41:48.860 --> 00:41:50.480
 we find that

00:41:50.480 --> 00:41:51.000
 in Galatians

00:41:51.000 --> 00:41:51.519
 chapter 3

00:41:51.519 --> 00:41:51.900
 6

00:41:51.900 --> 00:41:52.380
 it says

00:41:52.380 --> 00:41:53.119
 just as

00:41:53.119 --> 00:41:53.500
 Abraham

00:41:53.500 --> 00:41:54.039
 believed

00:41:54.039 --> 00:41:54.579
 God

00:41:54.579 --> 00:41:55.360
 and it

00:41:55.360 --> 00:41:55.480
 was

00:41:55.480 --> 00:41:55.940
 accounted

00:41:55.940 --> 00:41:56.300
 to him

00:41:56.300 --> 00:41:56.460
 as

00:41:56.460 --> 00:41:56.960
 righteousness

00:41:56.960 --> 00:41:58.200
 and the

00:41:58.200 --> 00:41:58.500
 scripture

00:41:58.500 --> 00:41:59.019
 foreseeing

00:41:59.019 --> 00:41:59.360
 that God

00:41:59.360 --> 00:42:00.180
 would justify

00:42:00.180 --> 00:42:01.559
 the Gentiles

00:42:01.559 --> 00:42:02.200
 by faith

00:42:02.200 --> 00:42:03.099
 preached that

00:42:03.099 --> 00:42:04.140
 gospel beforehand

00:42:04.140 --> 00:42:04.619
 to Abraham

00:42:04.619 --> 00:42:05.079
 saying

00:42:05.079 --> 00:42:06.059
 in you

00:42:06.059 --> 00:42:06.760
 all the

00:42:06.760 --> 00:42:07.180
 nations

00:42:07.180 --> 00:42:07.619
 shall be

00:42:07.619 --> 00:42:07.980
 blessed

00:42:07.980 --> 00:42:09.380
 so that

00:42:09.380 --> 00:42:09.920
 in Christ

00:42:09.920 --> 00:42:10.440
 Jesus

00:42:10.440 --> 00:42:11.780
 the blessing

00:42:11.780 --> 00:42:12.480
 of Abraham

00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:13.240
 might come

00:42:13.240 --> 00:42:13.960
 to the

00:42:13.960 --> 00:42:14.599
 Gentiles

00:42:14.599 --> 00:42:15.740
 so that

00:42:15.740 --> 00:42:16.059
 we might

00:42:16.059 --> 00:42:16.559
 receive the

00:42:16.559 --> 00:42:17.039
 promised

00:42:17.039 --> 00:42:18.539
 spirit

00:42:18.539 --> 00:42:19.340
 through faith

00:42:19.340 --> 00:42:20.700
 and now

00:42:20.700 --> 00:42:21.519
 through the

00:42:21.519 --> 00:42:21.900
 gospel

00:42:21.900 --> 00:42:22.800
 it all

00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:23.039
 comes

00:42:23.039 --> 00:42:23.400
 together

00:42:23.400 --> 00:42:24.660
 Jews

00:42:24.660 --> 00:42:25.519
 and Gentiles

00:42:25.519 --> 00:42:26.740
 enjoying the

00:42:26.740 --> 00:42:27.340
 benefits of

00:42:27.340 --> 00:42:27.900
 this original

00:42:27.900 --> 00:42:28.300
 promise

00:42:28.300 --> 00:42:28.820
 that was

00:42:28.820 --> 00:42:29.200
 preached

00:42:29.200 --> 00:42:30.180
 initially

00:42:30.180 --> 00:42:30.980
 to Abraham

00:42:30.980 --> 00:42:32.440
 and now

00:42:32.440 --> 00:42:33.400
 extends to

00:42:33.400 --> 00:42:33.780
 us

00:42:33.780 --> 00:42:34.639
 that those

00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:35.180
 who believe

00:42:35.180 --> 00:42:36.460
 in Christ

00:42:36.460 --> 00:42:38.139
 those who

00:42:38.139 --> 00:42:38.940
 come in

00:42:38.940 --> 00:42:39.280
 faith

00:42:39.280 --> 00:42:40.480
 will enjoy

00:42:40.480 --> 00:42:41.059
 the benefits

00:42:41.059 --> 00:42:42.220
 of Christ's

00:42:42.220 --> 00:42:42.619
 righteousness

00:42:42.619 --> 00:42:43.500
 accredited

00:42:43.500 --> 00:42:44.599
 to our

00:42:44.599 --> 00:42:44.920
 account

00:42:44.920 --> 00:42:45.980
 and finally

00:42:45.980 --> 00:42:47.480
 we see this

00:42:47.480 --> 00:42:48.240
 blessing fulfilled

00:42:48.240 --> 00:42:48.740
 in Jesus

00:42:48.740 --> 00:42:50.160
 in verse 26

00:42:50.159 --> 00:42:51.779
 God having

00:42:51.779 --> 00:42:52.399
 raised up

00:42:52.399 --> 00:42:53.000
 his servant

00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:54.359
 sent him

00:42:54.359 --> 00:42:54.699
 to you

00:42:54.699 --> 00:42:55.099
 first

00:42:55.099 --> 00:42:56.279
 to bless

00:42:56.279 --> 00:42:56.639
 you

00:42:56.639 --> 00:42:57.699
 by turning

00:42:57.699 --> 00:42:58.779
 every one

00:42:58.779 --> 00:42:59.719
 of you

00:42:59.719 --> 00:43:00.299
 from

00:43:00.299 --> 00:43:01.599
 your wickedness

00:43:01.599 --> 00:43:03.119
 that's the

00:43:03.119 --> 00:43:03.539
 blessing

00:43:03.539 --> 00:43:04.559
 that Jesus

00:43:04.559 --> 00:43:05.460
 extends

00:43:05.460 --> 00:43:06.279
 to all of

00:43:06.279 --> 00:43:06.619
 us

00:43:06.619 --> 00:43:08.199
 all of us

00:43:08.199 --> 00:43:08.779
 who at

00:43:08.779 --> 00:43:09.299
 one time

00:43:09.299 --> 00:43:09.559
 or the

00:43:09.559 --> 00:43:09.779
 other

00:43:09.779 --> 00:43:10.699
 have either

00:43:10.699 --> 00:43:11.299
 rejected

00:43:11.299 --> 00:43:11.679
 him

00:43:11.679 --> 00:43:12.480
 denied

00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:12.879
 him

00:43:12.879 --> 00:43:13.599
 opposed

00:43:13.599 --> 00:43:13.980
 him

00:43:13.980 --> 00:43:14.519
 been an

00:43:14.519 --> 00:43:14.779
 enemy

00:43:14.779 --> 00:43:15.139
 of him

00:43:15.139 --> 00:43:15.579
 whatever

00:43:15.579 --> 00:43:15.940
 whatever

00:43:15.940 --> 00:43:17.119
 sense

00:43:17.119 --> 00:43:17.719
 of the

00:43:17.719 --> 00:43:18.019
 term

00:43:18.019 --> 00:43:18.360
 that you

00:43:18.360 --> 00:43:18.739
 have been

00:43:18.739 --> 00:43:19.319
 hostile

00:43:19.319 --> 00:43:20.380
 to Jesus

00:43:20.380 --> 00:43:22.599
 God offers

00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:24.000
 this invitation

00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:25.880
 this invitation

00:43:25.880 --> 00:43:27.079
 for us to

00:43:27.079 --> 00:43:27.779
 enjoy the

00:43:27.779 --> 00:43:28.199
 benefits

00:43:28.199 --> 00:43:29.340
 of blessing

00:43:29.340 --> 00:43:30.659
 Jesus

00:43:30.659 --> 00:43:31.139
 came

00:43:31.139 --> 00:43:32.159
 to bless

00:43:32.159 --> 00:43:33.480
 to pour out

00:43:33.480 --> 00:43:34.000
 his blessing

00:43:34.000 --> 00:43:34.539
 by turning

00:43:34.539 --> 00:43:35.059
 us away

00:43:35.059 --> 00:43:36.079
 from wickedness

00:43:36.079 --> 00:43:36.340
 and that

00:43:36.340 --> 00:43:37.079
 only happens

00:43:37.079 --> 00:43:37.799
 when we

00:43:37.799 --> 00:43:38.199
 repent

00:43:38.199 --> 00:43:39.000
 in faith

00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:39.779
 and turn

00:43:39.779 --> 00:43:40.340
 to Christ

00:43:40.340 --> 00:43:41.719
 we ask

00:43:41.719 --> 00:43:42.360
 the Lord

00:43:42.360 --> 00:43:42.699
 Jesus

00:43:42.699 --> 00:43:44.039
 to undo

00:43:44.039 --> 00:43:44.579
 our

00:43:44.579 --> 00:43:45.199
 ignorance

00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:46.439
 to undo

00:43:46.439 --> 00:43:47.179
 the futility

00:43:47.179 --> 00:43:47.519
 of our

00:43:47.519 --> 00:43:47.879
 hearts

00:43:47.879 --> 00:43:48.899
 and to

00:43:48.899 --> 00:43:49.659
 draw us

00:43:49.659 --> 00:43:50.000
 into

00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:51.119
 truth

00:43:51.119 --> 00:43:51.739
 and knowledge

00:43:51.739 --> 00:43:52.219
 of him

00:43:52.219 --> 00:43:53.219
 so that we

00:43:53.219 --> 00:43:53.539
 can

00:43:53.539 --> 00:43:54.759
 participate

00:43:54.759 --> 00:43:55.399
 in faith

00:43:55.399 --> 00:43:56.480
 in Jesus

00:43:56.480 --> 00:43:56.919
 Christ

00:43:56.919 --> 00:43:59.159
 what a

00:43:59.159 --> 00:43:59.419
 wonderful

00:43:59.419 --> 00:44:00.000
 picture this

00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:00.399
 is

00:44:00.399 --> 00:44:01.939
 that the

00:44:01.939 --> 00:44:02.939
 Jews

00:44:02.939 --> 00:44:03.539
 who were

00:44:03.539 --> 00:44:03.839
 there

00:44:03.839 --> 00:44:04.759
 in Jerusalem

00:44:04.759 --> 00:44:05.399
 and likely

00:44:05.399 --> 00:44:06.099
 were the

00:44:06.099 --> 00:44:06.739
 ones to

00:44:06.739 --> 00:44:07.079
 say

00:44:07.079 --> 00:44:08.239
 crucify

00:44:08.239 --> 00:44:08.639
 him

00:44:08.639 --> 00:44:10.099
 are now

00:44:10.099 --> 00:44:10.519
 the ones

00:44:10.519 --> 00:44:10.939
 who can

00:44:10.939 --> 00:44:12.359
 be the

00:44:12.360 --> 00:44:12.579
 first

00:44:12.579 --> 00:44:13.120
 beneficiaries

00:44:13.120 --> 00:44:13.680
 of this

00:44:13.680 --> 00:44:14.079
 promise

00:44:14.079 --> 00:44:15.960
 and so

00:44:15.960 --> 00:44:17.519
 I want

00:44:17.519 --> 00:44:17.680
 you to

00:44:17.680 --> 00:44:18.019
 understand

00:44:18.019 --> 00:44:18.460
 whatever

00:44:18.460 --> 00:44:19.720
 whatever

00:44:19.720 --> 00:44:20.579
 your past

00:44:20.579 --> 00:44:21.019
 or even

00:44:21.019 --> 00:44:21.740
 your present

00:44:21.740 --> 00:44:23.120
 hostility

00:44:23.120 --> 00:44:24.460
 or sin

00:44:24.460 --> 00:44:25.240
 towards God

00:44:25.240 --> 00:44:25.780
 might be

00:44:25.780 --> 00:44:27.820
 whatever

00:44:27.820 --> 00:44:29.039
 whatever

00:44:29.039 --> 00:44:29.680
 rejection

00:44:29.680 --> 00:44:30.440
 of Christ

00:44:30.440 --> 00:44:30.740
 in the

00:44:30.740 --> 00:44:31.019
 message

00:44:31.019 --> 00:44:31.300
 of the

00:44:31.300 --> 00:44:31.700
 gospel

00:44:31.700 --> 00:44:32.300
 that has

00:44:32.300 --> 00:44:32.720
 been true

00:44:32.720 --> 00:44:33.160
 of you

00:44:33.160 --> 00:44:34.280
 whatever

00:44:34.280 --> 00:44:35.200
 whatever

00:44:35.200 --> 00:44:35.900
 skeletons

00:44:35.900 --> 00:44:36.660
 are in the

00:44:36.660 --> 00:44:37.059
 closet

00:44:37.059 --> 00:44:37.440
 that you

00:44:37.440 --> 00:44:37.900
 might have

00:44:37.900 --> 00:44:38.300
 whatever

00:44:38.300 --> 00:44:38.860
 things

00:44:38.860 --> 00:44:39.099
 that you

00:44:39.099 --> 00:44:39.440
 might be

00:44:39.440 --> 00:44:39.920
 ashamed

00:44:39.920 --> 00:44:40.320
 of

00:44:40.320 --> 00:44:42.120
 the

00:44:42.120 --> 00:44:42.559
 invitation

00:44:42.559 --> 00:44:43.280
 is still

00:44:43.280 --> 00:44:43.559
 there

00:44:43.559 --> 00:44:45.539
 Jesus

00:44:45.539 --> 00:44:45.980
 Christ

00:44:45.980 --> 00:44:46.900
 will

00:44:46.900 --> 00:44:47.340
 replace

00:44:47.340 --> 00:44:48.160
 that

00:44:48.160 --> 00:44:48.780
 wickedness

00:44:48.780 --> 00:44:49.580
 with his

00:44:49.580 --> 00:44:50.019
 righteousness

00:44:50.019 --> 00:44:51.980
 as you

00:44:51.980 --> 00:44:52.600
 confess your

00:44:52.600 --> 00:44:52.880
 sin

00:44:52.880 --> 00:44:53.940
 he is

00:44:53.940 --> 00:44:54.320
 faithful

00:44:54.320 --> 00:44:54.780
 and just

00:44:54.780 --> 00:44:55.180
 to forgive

00:44:55.180 --> 00:44:55.640
 your sin

00:44:55.640 --> 00:44:56.420
 and to

00:44:56.420 --> 00:44:56.660
 cleanse

00:44:56.660 --> 00:44:56.900
 you

00:44:56.900 --> 00:44:57.760
 from all

00:44:57.760 --> 00:44:58.840
 unrighteousness

00:44:58.840 --> 00:44:59.400
 not because

00:44:59.400 --> 00:44:59.940
 you deserve

00:44:59.940 --> 00:45:00.180
 it

00:45:00.180 --> 00:45:00.840
 not because

00:45:00.840 --> 00:45:01.539
 we deserve

00:45:01.539 --> 00:45:01.820
 it

00:45:01.820 --> 00:45:02.740
 not because

00:45:02.740 --> 00:45:03.700
 we have

00:45:03.700 --> 00:45:04.300
 merited

00:45:04.300 --> 00:45:05.320
 favor with

00:45:05.320 --> 00:45:05.580
 God

00:45:05.580 --> 00:45:06.160
 but because

00:45:06.160 --> 00:45:06.980
 of Christ's

00:45:06.980 --> 00:45:07.400
 mercy

00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:08.000
 and his

00:45:08.000 --> 00:45:08.460
 desire

00:45:08.460 --> 00:45:09.440
 to bless

00:45:09.440 --> 00:45:09.720
 you

00:45:09.720 --> 00:45:10.099
 and to

00:45:10.099 --> 00:45:10.980
 invite you

00:45:10.980 --> 00:45:11.660
 into times

00:45:11.660 --> 00:45:12.660
 of refreshing

00:45:12.660 --> 00:45:14.200
 have you

00:45:14.200 --> 00:45:14.800
 experienced

00:45:14.800 --> 00:45:15.200
 have you

00:45:15.200 --> 00:45:15.760
 enjoyed

00:45:15.760 --> 00:45:16.619
 the benefits

00:45:16.619 --> 00:45:17.119
 of that

00:45:17.119 --> 00:45:17.539
 refreshing

00:45:17.539 --> 00:45:18.760
 that's

00:45:18.760 --> 00:45:20.200
 the invitation

00:45:20.200 --> 00:45:20.980
 that Peter

00:45:20.980 --> 00:45:21.500
 ends with

00:45:21.500 --> 00:45:21.740
 here

00:45:21.740 --> 00:45:22.700
 and it

00:45:22.700 --> 00:45:23.039
 happens

00:45:23.039 --> 00:45:23.400
 through

00:45:23.400 --> 00:45:23.920
 repentance

00:45:23.920 --> 00:45:25.019
 it happens

00:45:25.019 --> 00:45:25.660
 through faith

00:45:25.660 --> 00:45:26.760
 in Jesus

00:45:26.760 --> 00:45:27.519
 have you

00:45:27.519 --> 00:45:28.039
 placed your

00:45:28.039 --> 00:45:28.380
 faith in

00:45:28.380 --> 00:45:28.579
 him

00:45:28.579 --> 00:45:29.500
 asked for

00:45:29.500 --> 00:45:29.860
 forgiveness

00:45:29.860 --> 00:45:30.320
 for your

00:45:30.320 --> 00:45:30.660
 sins

00:45:30.660 --> 00:45:31.700
 and entrusted

00:45:31.700 --> 00:45:32.220
 your life

00:45:32.220 --> 00:45:32.900
 to him

00:45:32.900 --> 00:45:34.260
 I trust

00:45:34.260 --> 00:45:34.559
 that that's

00:45:34.559 --> 00:45:34.880
 the case

00:45:34.880 --> 00:45:36.160
 and when

00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:36.659
 we do

00:45:36.659 --> 00:45:38.039
 when you

00:45:38.039 --> 00:45:38.319
 do

00:45:38.319 --> 00:45:39.179
 God wants

00:45:39.179 --> 00:45:39.519
 to lead

00:45:39.519 --> 00:45:39.859
 us

00:45:39.859 --> 00:45:41.079
 in the

00:45:41.079 --> 00:45:41.460
 direction

00:45:41.460 --> 00:45:42.899
 of being

00:45:42.899 --> 00:45:43.219
 able to

00:45:43.219 --> 00:45:43.519
 say

00:45:43.519 --> 00:45:44.960
 all my

00:45:44.960 --> 00:45:45.299
 boast

00:45:45.299 --> 00:45:45.719
 is in

00:45:45.719 --> 00:45:46.079
 Jesus

00:45:46.079 --> 00:45:48.480
 not just

00:45:48.480 --> 00:45:49.980
 privately

00:45:49.980 --> 00:45:51.119
 but publicly

00:45:51.119 --> 00:45:52.819
 we get to

00:45:52.819 --> 00:45:53.519
 experience the

00:45:53.519 --> 00:45:53.940
 benefits

00:45:53.940 --> 00:45:55.139
 of God's

00:45:55.139 --> 00:45:55.420
 work in

00:45:55.420 --> 00:45:55.819
 our life

00:45:55.819 --> 00:45:56.719
 and we

00:45:56.719 --> 00:45:57.339
 can't do

00:45:57.339 --> 00:45:57.859
 anything

00:45:57.859 --> 00:45:58.480
 more

00:45:58.480 --> 00:45:59.599
 than boast

00:45:59.599 --> 00:45:59.940
 about

00:45:59.940 --> 00:46:00.799
 can I

00:46:00.799 --> 00:46:01.420
 just tell

00:46:01.420 --> 00:46:01.599
 you

00:46:01.599 --> 00:46:02.759
 what God

00:46:02.759 --> 00:46:03.179
 has done

00:46:03.179 --> 00:46:03.599
 for me

00:46:03.599 --> 00:46:04.179
 that's

00:46:04.179 --> 00:46:04.659
 that's

00:46:04.659 --> 00:46:04.819
 what he

00:46:04.819 --> 00:46:05.339
 wants to

00:46:05.339 --> 00:46:05.619
 lead us

00:46:05.619 --> 00:46:05.839
 to

00:46:05.840 --> 00:46:06.700
 our

00:46:06.700 --> 00:46:06.940
 boast

00:46:06.940 --> 00:46:07.240
 is in

00:46:07.240 --> 00:46:07.400
 him

00:46:07.400 --> 00:46:07.940
 we

00:46:07.940 --> 00:46:08.160
 talk

00:46:08.160 --> 00:46:08.340
 about

00:46:08.340 --> 00:46:08.440
 him

00:46:08.440 --> 00:46:08.519
 we

00:46:08.519 --> 00:46:08.740
 can't

00:46:08.740 --> 00:46:08.900
 help

00:46:08.900 --> 00:46:09.019
 but

00:46:09.019 --> 00:46:09.200
 talk

00:46:09.200 --> 00:46:09.420
 about

00:46:09.420 --> 00:46:09.579
 him

00:46:09.579 --> 00:46:10.100
 wherever

00:46:10.100 --> 00:46:10.320
 we

00:46:10.320 --> 00:46:10.460
 are

00:46:10.460 --> 00:46:10.860
 our

00:46:10.860 --> 00:46:11.160
 life

00:46:11.160 --> 00:46:11.960
 is

00:46:11.960 --> 00:46:12.100
 in

00:46:12.100 --> 00:46:12.220
 the

00:46:12.220 --> 00:46:12.480
 flow

00:46:12.480 --> 00:46:12.800
 that

00:46:12.800 --> 00:46:13.220
 direction

00:46:13.220 --> 00:46:13.480
 has

00:46:13.480 --> 00:46:14.059
 changed

00:46:14.059 --> 00:46:14.180
 in

00:46:14.180 --> 00:46:14.300
 our

00:46:14.300 --> 00:46:14.600
 hearts

00:46:14.600 --> 00:46:16.300
 and

00:46:16.300 --> 00:46:16.500
 we

00:46:16.500 --> 00:46:17.400
 delight

00:46:17.400 --> 00:46:17.760
 in

00:46:17.760 --> 00:46:17.960
 telling

00:46:17.960 --> 00:46:18.260
 others

00:46:18.260 --> 00:46:18.519
 about

00:46:18.519 --> 00:46:18.720
 him

00:46:18.720 --> 00:46:19.380
 let me

00:46:19.380 --> 00:46:19.600
 pray

00:46:19.600 --> 00:46:21.780
 God

00:46:21.780 --> 00:46:22.059
 thank you

00:46:22.059 --> 00:46:22.320
 for your

00:46:22.320 --> 00:46:22.539
 son

00:46:22.539 --> 00:46:22.880
 Jesus

00:46:22.880 --> 00:46:24.600
 thank you

00:46:24.600 --> 00:46:24.900
 that he

00:46:24.900 --> 00:46:25.200
 is

00:46:25.200 --> 00:46:25.360
 your

00:46:25.360 --> 00:46:25.900
 servant

00:46:25.900 --> 00:46:26.840
 who

00:46:26.840 --> 00:46:27.039
 was

00:46:27.039 --> 00:46:27.579
 crushed

00:46:27.579 --> 00:46:28.180
 for

00:46:28.180 --> 00:46:28.360
 our

00:46:28.360 --> 00:46:28.880
 iniquities

00:46:28.880 --> 00:46:30.120
 so

00:46:30.120 --> 00:46:30.340
 that

00:46:30.340 --> 00:46:30.579
 the

00:46:30.579 --> 00:46:31.360
 chastisement

00:46:31.360 --> 00:46:31.620
 that

00:46:31.620 --> 00:46:31.860
 would

00:46:31.860 --> 00:46:32.280
 offer

00:46:32.280 --> 00:46:32.579
 us

00:46:32.579 --> 00:46:33.000
 peace

00:46:33.000 --> 00:46:33.000


00:46:33.720 --> 00:46:33.720


00:46:33.720 --> 00:46:33.880
 was

00:46:33.880 --> 00:46:34.119
 put

00:46:34.119 --> 00:46:34.460
 upon

00:46:34.460 --> 00:46:34.700
 him

00:46:34.700 --> 00:46:34.900
 so

00:46:34.900 --> 00:46:35.140
