00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.120
 and whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight.

00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:12.640
 I will put my spirit on him and he will bring justice to the nations.

00:00:13.939 --> 00:00:19.019
 He will not shout or cry out or raise his voice in the streets.

00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:27.580
 A bruised reed he will not break and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out.

00:00:27.579 --> 00:00:31.719
 In faithfulness he will bring forth justice.

00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:37.239
 He will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice on earth.

00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:41.359
 In his law the islands will put their hope.

00:00:42.979 --> 00:00:44.920
 This is what God the Lord says.

00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:48.280
 He who created the heavens and stretched them out,

00:00:48.659 --> 00:00:52.219
 who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it,

00:00:52.219 --> 00:00:58.079
 who gives breath to its people and life to those who walk on it.

00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:02.019
 I the Lord have called you in righteousness.

00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:04.959
 I will take hold of your hand.

00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:10.299
 I will keep you and make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles,

00:01:10.299 --> 00:01:14.480
 to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison,

00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:19.439
 to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.

00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:21.799
 I am the Lord.

00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:23.599
 That is my name.

00:01:24.299 --> 00:01:28.739
 I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols.

00:01:30.060 --> 00:01:34.819
 See, the former things have taken place and new things I declare.

00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:40.379
 Before they spring into being, I announce them to you.

00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:44.979
 Well, let's pray together as we hear God's word.

00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:45.579
 Let's pray.

00:01:45.579 --> 00:01:50.900
 Father, we thank you for your word,

00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:58.599
 for this prophecy written hundreds of years before the birth of Christ,

00:01:59.819 --> 00:02:01.439
 but yet true.

00:02:03.659 --> 00:02:07.700
 We thank you for this grand and great announcement.

00:02:07.700 --> 00:02:15.020
 And we thank you that it has become a reality for us today.

00:02:16.340 --> 00:02:22.659
 We pray that your word would refresh us and change us,

00:02:23.060 --> 00:02:29.240
 and that you would help us to see life and this world from your perspective,

00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:33.600
 and that it would shape how we live.

00:02:35.420 --> 00:02:38.760
 So we ask for your help, the power of your spirit,

00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:41.120
 to be at work amongst us,

00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:46.640
 so that the words that we hear are your words,

00:02:47.640 --> 00:02:50.140
 and changing us to be more like you.

00:02:50.139 --> 00:02:53.639
 And we ask this in Jesus' name.

00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:54.579
 Amen.

00:02:59.399 --> 00:03:02.359
 Well, the story is told, some of you may have heard it,

00:03:02.399 --> 00:03:04.059
 of a radio show host

00:03:04.059 --> 00:03:08.459
 who at Christmas time rang around various ambassadors

00:03:08.459 --> 00:03:11.719
 asking what they would most like for Christmas.

00:03:12.659 --> 00:03:16.139
 The first one that he called was the French ambassador.

00:03:16.139 --> 00:03:21.819
 And his answer to what would you most like for Christmas said this,

00:03:22.399 --> 00:03:27.099
 I would like peace and goodwill to all men.

00:03:28.359 --> 00:03:31.519
 The next to ring was the Chinese ambassador.

00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:35.079
 He thought for a moment and then he said,

00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:40.179
 I'd like to end hunger and disease throughout the world.

00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:43.779
 Then he called the British ambassador.

00:03:43.780 --> 00:03:46.780
 What would you like for Christmas?

00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:49.659
 There was a pause.

00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:54.300
 I'd be very happy with some aftershave and a pair of new slippers.

00:03:56.620 --> 00:03:59.979
 Well, I think if we could have anything that we wanted,

00:04:00.099 --> 00:04:04.080
 we'd all want something a little bit more than aftershave or slippers

00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:09.520
 or socks that perhaps some of us got at our Christmas gifts.

00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:13.719
 And like the ambassadors that also replied,

00:04:13.900 --> 00:04:17.579
 we do want a better world than what we have.

00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:20.180
 We want a world where everything is put right.

00:04:20.699 --> 00:04:22.819
 We want to be able to turn on the news

00:04:22.819 --> 00:04:27.579
 and hear that there is no bad news.

00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:31.280
 We want to be able to walk out onto our streets

00:04:31.280 --> 00:04:34.720
 without fear or any worry.

00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:39.100
 We want to be able to wake up in the morning

00:04:39.100 --> 00:04:43.480
 and know that everything is going to be okay.

00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:47.660
 All our concerns are all taken care of.

00:04:49.300 --> 00:04:52.160
 Well, I want to give you the gift of someone this morning

00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:54.900
 who can do just that.

00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:59.320
 He brings justice to our disordered world

00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:04.120
 and he gives grace to our broken lives.

00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:09.459
 He is the Spirit-filled servant.

00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:15.100
 First, this servant has been promised.

00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:19.279
 Look at verse 1 of chapter 42.

00:05:19.699 --> 00:05:23.980
 Here is my servant whom I uphold,

00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:27.120
 my chosen one in whom I delight.

00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:29.879
 So this is not just any servant.

00:05:30.500 --> 00:05:33.180
 He stands above everyone else.

00:05:33.540 --> 00:05:35.819
 This is God's chosen one.

00:05:36.579 --> 00:05:40.379
 One in whom, verse 1, I delight.

00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:46.840
 The servant is chosen because he brings to God great joy.

00:05:47.259 --> 00:05:48.519
 He pleases God.

00:05:48.780 --> 00:05:51.579
 In other words, everything that this servant does

00:05:51.579 --> 00:05:56.220
 and how this servant lives brings God great pleasure.

00:05:56.220 --> 00:05:57.720
 God is thrilled.

00:05:57.940 --> 00:06:01.740
 God is delighted to see this servant at work.

00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:04.520
 He is his prized servant.

00:06:06.100 --> 00:06:08.680
 But not only is this servant chosen,

00:06:09.820 --> 00:06:13.060
 this servant comes with great power.

00:06:14.060 --> 00:06:15.440
 Look at the rest of verse 1.

00:06:16.420 --> 00:06:16.840
 He says,

00:06:16.960 --> 00:06:19.560
 I will put my spirit on him

00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:24.160
 and he will bring justice to the nations.

00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.800
 To be filled with the Spirit

00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:30.720
 or to have the Spirit of God come upon him

00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:33.720
 is to be filled with the power of God.

00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:37.260
 The power of God to achieve the purposes of God

00:06:37.260 --> 00:06:40.000
 and accomplish the plan of God.

00:06:40.840 --> 00:06:42.760
 So this is no ordinary servant.

00:06:42.760 --> 00:06:46.879
 He is chosen by God for a special purpose.

00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:53.040
 But who is this promised servant?

00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:59.000
 Well, this promise has actually been fulfilled.

00:07:00.300 --> 00:07:04.219
 In one sense, we are told that the servant is already here.

00:07:04.699 --> 00:07:07.219
 So look how it even starts in verse 1.

00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:08.000
 He says,

00:07:08.339 --> 00:07:09.719
 Here, this is God speaking,

00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:12.040
 Here is my servant.

00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:17.560
 So the servant could be the people of God,

00:07:17.700 --> 00:07:19.200
 the nation of Israel.

00:07:20.460 --> 00:07:21.720
 But the problem is,

00:07:21.760 --> 00:07:24.140
 as we begin to read through the rest of Isaiah

00:07:24.140 --> 00:07:26.400
 and as we read through the story of the Bible,

00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:29.100
 we realize that God's people

00:07:29.100 --> 00:07:31.360
 are not all that they should be.

00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:35.080
 God does not always delight in them.

00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:39.500
 So just have a look at chapter 42, verse 24.

00:07:39.500 --> 00:07:44.000
 Because we see what happens to them.

00:07:45.259 --> 00:07:47.180
 In verse 24 we read,

00:07:48.339 --> 00:07:49.420
 Who handed Jacob,

00:07:49.540 --> 00:07:51.160
 that's a word to describe,

00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:53.160
 a name to describe the people of God.

00:07:53.420 --> 00:07:56.279
 Who handed Jacob over to become loot

00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:58.980
 and Israel to the plunderers?

00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:01.720
 Was it not the Lord

00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:04.339
 against whom we have sinned?

00:08:04.939 --> 00:08:07.699
 For they would not follow his ways.

00:08:07.699 --> 00:08:11.279
 They did not obey his law.

00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:13.740
 So this is hardly a servant

00:08:13.740 --> 00:08:15.279
 that God delights in

00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:17.139
 or takes great pleasure in.

00:08:17.479 --> 00:08:19.099
 His people displeased him.

00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:21.379
 They failed to serve God as they should.

00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:24.620
 So the servant is here,

00:08:24.719 --> 00:08:26.939
 but it's not quite what we think.

00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:29.459
 So in another sense,

00:08:29.579 --> 00:08:30.659
 the servant is here,

00:08:30.779 --> 00:08:32.539
 but the servant is yet to come.

00:08:32.539 --> 00:08:36.219
 So it says in verse 1 of chapter 42,

00:08:36.839 --> 00:08:40.419
 I will put my spirit on him.

00:08:41.059 --> 00:08:42.519
 So it's something future.

00:08:44.459 --> 00:08:46.059
 So who is this spirit?

00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:48.919
 Who is this spirit-filled person?

00:08:50.199 --> 00:08:51.219
 Well, in time,

00:08:51.299 --> 00:08:53.659
 as we begin to read through the scriptures,

00:08:53.860 --> 00:08:55.639
 we see the plan

00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:57.000
 and the purpose of God

00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:58.879
 beginning to unfold.

00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:02.759
 Keep your finger in Isaiah 42

00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:04.740
 and jump to Luke.

00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:08.100
 Luke's Gospel, chapter 2.

00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:11.439
 And as we approach

00:09:11.439 --> 00:09:13.980
 and as we come into the New Testament,

00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:16.340
 we begin to see the Spirit of God

00:09:16.340 --> 00:09:18.580
 coming as he promised,

00:09:19.299 --> 00:09:20.419
 filling people,

00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:22.259
 filling his servants

00:09:22.259 --> 00:09:25.480
 and doing an extraordinary work.

00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:25.600
 Luke.

00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:29.980
 So in chapter 1 of Luke's Gospel,

00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:31.519
 verse 41,

00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:34.240
 we've had the announcement

00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:35.860
 from the angel to Mary

00:09:35.860 --> 00:09:38.120
 that Mary is going to give birth

00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:39.460
 to a son

00:09:39.460 --> 00:09:41.320
 and she's going to call him Jesus.

00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:43.820
 And at the same time

00:09:43.820 --> 00:09:44.960
 as her giving birth,

00:09:45.060 --> 00:09:45.759
 her cousin,

00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:47.159
 Elizabeth,

00:09:48.620 --> 00:09:49.639
 is also

00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:52.180
 going to give birth.

00:09:52.179 --> 00:09:55.279
 So Luke, chapter 1

00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:57.899
 and verse 41.

00:10:00.539 --> 00:10:03.099
 When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting,

00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:06.339
 the baby leaped in her womb

00:10:06.339 --> 00:10:08.179
 and Mary was filled

00:10:08.179 --> 00:10:09.959
 with the Holy Spirit.

00:10:10.099 --> 00:10:11.819
 So the Spirit is there working

00:10:11.819 --> 00:10:15.000
 and in a loud voice she exclaimed,

00:10:15.599 --> 00:10:18.379
 Blessed are you among women, Mary,

00:10:18.379 --> 00:10:21.100
 and blessed is the child

00:10:21.100 --> 00:10:22.740
 you will bear.

00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:26.120
 So Elizabeth is pointing

00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:27.899
 to the child

00:10:27.899 --> 00:10:29.639
 that Mary is going to have.

00:10:29.740 --> 00:10:31.639
 But not just Elizabeth.

00:10:31.980 --> 00:10:33.840
 Look at verse 67.

00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:37.659
 So her husband, Zachariah,

00:10:39.139 --> 00:10:41.679
 he is also filled,

00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:42.519
 verse 67,

00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:43.860
 with the Holy Spirit.

00:10:44.860 --> 00:10:46.340
 And he prophesied,

00:10:46.340 --> 00:10:47.840
 the Spirit comes upon him

00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:48.660
 and he says,

00:10:48.800 --> 00:10:50.080
 Praise be to the Lord,

00:10:50.160 --> 00:10:51.100
 the God of Israel,

00:10:51.500 --> 00:10:53.080
 because he has come

00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:55.180
 and has redeemed his people.

00:10:55.540 --> 00:10:57.040
 He has raised up a horn

00:10:57.040 --> 00:10:58.120
 of salvation.

00:10:58.259 --> 00:11:00.080
 That is the strength of God

00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:01.879
 is going to come

00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:03.240
 and save us.

00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:04.920
 So the Spirit of God

00:11:04.920 --> 00:11:06.399
 coming on his servants

00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:08.379
 to declare something

00:11:08.379 --> 00:11:10.120
 about who Jesus is

00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:11.379
 and what he's going to do.

00:11:12.800 --> 00:11:14.180
 Then in chapter 2,

00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:15.259
 verse 25,

00:11:15.259 --> 00:11:16.740
 we have Simeon

00:11:16.740 --> 00:11:18.980
 who's in the temple

00:11:18.980 --> 00:11:20.939
 and he was waiting

00:11:20.939 --> 00:11:23.159
 for Jesus to arrive.

00:11:24.580 --> 00:11:26.439
 So read verse 25.

00:11:26.580 --> 00:11:27.419
 Now there was a man

00:11:27.419 --> 00:11:28.919
 in Jerusalem called Simeon

00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:30.139
 who was righteous

00:11:30.139 --> 00:11:30.879
 and devout.

00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:32.000
 He was waiting

00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:33.179
 for the consolation

00:11:33.179 --> 00:11:33.740
 of Israel.

00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:35.120
 That is for everything

00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:36.319
 to be put right again.

00:11:36.539 --> 00:11:37.779
 And the Holy Spirit

00:11:37.779 --> 00:11:38.939
 came upon him.

00:11:40.259 --> 00:11:41.539
 Verse 27,

00:11:41.539 --> 00:11:43.439
 Moved by the Spirit,

00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:45.219
 he went into the temple courts

00:11:45.219 --> 00:11:46.480
 and when the parents

00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:47.980
 brought in the child Jesus

00:11:47.980 --> 00:11:48.860
 to do for him

00:11:48.860 --> 00:11:49.779
 what the custom

00:11:49.779 --> 00:11:50.860
 of the law required,

00:11:51.339 --> 00:11:52.740
 Simeon took him in his arms

00:11:52.740 --> 00:11:53.639
 and praised God,

00:11:53.779 --> 00:11:54.039
 saying,

00:11:54.439 --> 00:11:55.360
 Sovereign Lord,

00:11:55.439 --> 00:11:56.399
 as you have promised,

00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:57.759
 you now dismiss

00:11:57.759 --> 00:11:59.480
 your servant in peace.

00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:01.860
 For my eyes

00:12:01.860 --> 00:12:03.339
 have seen your salvation,

00:12:03.959 --> 00:12:04.980
 which you have prepared

00:12:04.980 --> 00:12:06.419
 in the sight of all people,

00:12:06.419 --> 00:12:08.099
 a light for revelation

00:12:08.099 --> 00:12:09.199
 to the Gentiles

00:12:09.199 --> 00:12:10.599
 and for the glory

00:12:10.599 --> 00:12:12.479
 to your people Israel.

00:12:13.899 --> 00:12:14.779
 So can we see

00:12:14.779 --> 00:12:16.000
 the Spirit of God

00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:16.919
 coming down

00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:18.559
 on his servants,

00:12:18.839 --> 00:12:20.159
 on different people,

00:12:20.579 --> 00:12:21.959
 pointing and proclaiming

00:12:21.959 --> 00:12:22.339
 and saying,

00:12:22.959 --> 00:12:24.659
 Look at this Jesus.

00:12:27.500 --> 00:12:28.839
 And then we read

00:12:28.839 --> 00:12:30.039
 in Luke chapter 3

00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:32.439
 and verse 21.

00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:35.639
 This Jesus who was born,

00:12:36.419 --> 00:12:39.779
 is now 33 years of age.

00:12:42.199 --> 00:12:44.000
 Chapter 3, verse 21.

00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:46.339
 When all the people

00:12:46.339 --> 00:12:47.439
 were being baptized,

00:12:47.819 --> 00:12:49.479
 Jesus was baptized too.

00:12:49.839 --> 00:12:51.240
 And as he was praying,

00:12:51.719 --> 00:12:52.819
 heaven was opened

00:12:52.819 --> 00:12:56.159
 and the Holy Spirit

00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:57.839
 descended on him

00:12:57.839 --> 00:12:59.659
 in bodily form

00:12:59.659 --> 00:13:00.860
 like a dove.

00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:03.740
 And a voice came from heaven,

00:13:03.860 --> 00:13:05.199
 an audible voice.

00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:07.660
 You are my Son,

00:13:08.180 --> 00:13:09.460
 whom I love.

00:13:10.040 --> 00:13:11.020
 With you

00:13:11.020 --> 00:13:13.259
 I am well pleased.

00:13:14.259 --> 00:13:15.640
 So here,

00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:16.580
 at last,

00:13:16.900 --> 00:13:18.980
 is the Spirit-filled

00:13:18.980 --> 00:13:19.879
 servant,

00:13:20.400 --> 00:13:21.640
 the Spirit of God

00:13:21.640 --> 00:13:22.500
 coming down

00:13:22.500 --> 00:13:23.440
 on the Son,

00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:24.660
 on Jesus,

00:13:25.180 --> 00:13:26.040
 the one in whom

00:13:26.040 --> 00:13:26.800
 God takes

00:13:26.800 --> 00:13:27.860
 great delight

00:13:27.860 --> 00:13:28.480
 and pleasure.

00:13:28.920 --> 00:13:29.660
 You are the one

00:13:29.660 --> 00:13:30.200
 I love.

00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:31.100
 With you

00:13:31.100 --> 00:13:32.520
 I am well pleased.

00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:35.939
 the power of God

00:13:35.939 --> 00:13:37.340
 coming down

00:13:37.340 --> 00:13:38.939
 on the Son of God

00:13:38.939 --> 00:13:39.799
 to achieve

00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:40.899
 the purposes

00:13:40.899 --> 00:13:42.100
 of God.

00:13:43.740 --> 00:13:45.100
 So what is this

00:13:45.100 --> 00:13:46.860
 Spirit-filled servant

00:13:46.860 --> 00:13:48.879
 sent to do?

00:13:49.340 --> 00:13:50.379
 He was promised

00:13:50.379 --> 00:13:52.399
 and he has come.

00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:54.120
 Well, let's see

00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:55.319
 what he is going to do.

00:13:55.419 --> 00:13:56.759
 Let's go back to Isaiah

00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:58.860
 chapter 42.

00:13:58.860 --> 00:14:01.340
 Two big things

00:14:01.340 --> 00:14:02.039
 the servant

00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:02.860
 will do.

00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:03.740
 First,

00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:04.740
 he is going to bring

00:14:04.740 --> 00:14:05.440
 justice

00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:07.740
 to our disordered world.

00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:09.919
 So Isaiah 42,

00:14:10.620 --> 00:14:12.139
 the end of verse 1.

00:14:12.860 --> 00:14:13.240
 He says,

00:14:13.340 --> 00:14:14.139
 I will put my

00:14:14.139 --> 00:14:15.259
 Spirit on him

00:14:15.259 --> 00:14:17.200
 and he will bring

00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:18.060
 justice

00:14:18.060 --> 00:14:19.960
 to the nations.

00:14:21.060 --> 00:14:21.600
 Now,

00:14:21.680 --> 00:14:22.800
 every one of us

00:14:22.800 --> 00:14:23.240
 here

00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:25.159
 has experienced

00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:26.740
 some kind of

00:14:26.740 --> 00:14:27.300
 injustice,

00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:27.980
 haven't we?

00:14:27.980 --> 00:14:29.820
 I was playing

00:14:29.820 --> 00:14:30.740
 a game of Monopoly

00:14:30.740 --> 00:14:31.379
 last night

00:14:31.379 --> 00:14:32.240
 with my family.

00:14:33.460 --> 00:14:34.480
 I experienced

00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:35.980
 great injustice,

00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:38.580
 stealing of money,

00:14:39.379 --> 00:14:40.200
 all kinds of

00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:40.840
 wrongdoing.

00:14:41.379 --> 00:14:42.680
 We all understand

00:14:42.680 --> 00:14:43.300
 what it is

00:14:43.300 --> 00:14:43.940
 to face

00:14:43.940 --> 00:14:45.060
 injustice.

00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:47.659
 But we're talking

00:14:47.659 --> 00:14:48.259
 here about

00:14:48.259 --> 00:14:49.720
 serious injustice,

00:14:50.420 --> 00:14:51.060
 where people

00:14:51.060 --> 00:14:51.899
 say things

00:14:51.899 --> 00:14:52.480
 about you,

00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:54.000
 discredit us.

00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:55.860
 Maybe things

00:14:55.860 --> 00:14:56.740
 have been taken

00:14:56.740 --> 00:14:57.279
 from us

00:14:57.279 --> 00:14:58.120
 in our lives.

00:14:58.759 --> 00:14:59.500
 And we all

00:14:59.500 --> 00:15:00.180
 long for

00:15:00.180 --> 00:15:00.860
 justice

00:15:00.860 --> 00:15:02.299
 to be done.

00:15:03.740 --> 00:15:04.700
 And when God

00:15:04.700 --> 00:15:05.659
 talks of bringing

00:15:05.659 --> 00:15:06.340
 justice,

00:15:06.340 --> 00:15:07.379
 as he does here,

00:15:07.539 --> 00:15:08.419
 it implies

00:15:08.419 --> 00:15:09.220
 two things.

00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:09.919
 First,

00:15:10.019 --> 00:15:10.500
 it's about

00:15:10.500 --> 00:15:11.139
 punishment.

00:15:12.620 --> 00:15:13.720
 So correcting

00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:14.659
 wrongs

00:15:14.659 --> 00:15:15.759
 and making sure

00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:16.720
 people receive

00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:17.440
 the penalty

00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:18.779
 for their crime,

00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:19.980
 that's justice.

00:15:19.980 --> 00:15:20.180
 justice.

00:15:21.379 --> 00:15:22.500
 But it's also

00:15:22.500 --> 00:15:23.600
 about protection.

00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:25.420
 So it's about

00:15:25.420 --> 00:15:26.159
 giving people

00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:26.960
 their rights

00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:28.139
 and making sure

00:15:28.139 --> 00:15:29.100
 that the vulnerable

00:15:29.100 --> 00:15:29.860
 are treated

00:15:29.860 --> 00:15:31.379
 fairly and given

00:15:31.379 --> 00:15:32.080
 the respect

00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:32.800
 that is due

00:15:32.800 --> 00:15:33.379
 to them.

00:15:33.940 --> 00:15:34.740
 So punishment

00:15:34.740 --> 00:15:36.060
 and protection,

00:15:36.060 --> 00:15:36.960
 that is the

00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:38.300
 justice of God.

00:15:38.500 --> 00:15:39.340
 And that's the

00:15:39.340 --> 00:15:40.100
 kind of justice

00:15:40.100 --> 00:15:41.279
 we all long

00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:41.680
 for,

00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:42.720
 where every

00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:43.680
 wrong has been

00:15:43.680 --> 00:15:44.340
 put right

00:15:44.340 --> 00:15:45.840
 and every right

00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:46.740
 is upheld.

00:15:46.740 --> 00:15:48.560
 Well,

00:15:48.620 --> 00:15:49.659
 the Spirit-filled

00:15:49.659 --> 00:15:50.340
 servant

00:15:50.340 --> 00:15:51.659
 is going to

00:15:51.659 --> 00:15:52.480
 bring about

00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:53.279
 that kind

00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:54.000
 of justice.

00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:56.039
 Have a look

00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:56.539
 at what this

00:15:56.539 --> 00:15:57.320
 justice will be

00:15:57.320 --> 00:15:57.620
 like.

00:15:57.899 --> 00:15:58.519
 It's going to

00:15:58.519 --> 00:15:59.720
 be universal.

00:16:00.680 --> 00:16:01.220
 So look at

00:16:01.220 --> 00:16:01.940
 verse 1 again.

00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:02.680
 He says he will

00:16:02.680 --> 00:16:03.659
 bring justice

00:16:03.659 --> 00:16:05.740
 to the nations.

00:16:06.560 --> 00:16:07.379
 Not just to

00:16:07.379 --> 00:16:08.180
 one person

00:16:08.180 --> 00:16:09.799
 or one country,

00:16:10.180 --> 00:16:11.259
 but to the

00:16:11.259 --> 00:16:12.560
 whole of

00:16:12.560 --> 00:16:13.060
 the world.

00:16:13.700 --> 00:16:14.480
 No country

00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:15.360
 or leader

00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:16.240
 or government

00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:17.060
 will be

00:16:17.060 --> 00:16:17.820
 excused.

00:16:17.980 --> 00:16:18.320
 Justice

00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:18.980
 will be

00:16:18.980 --> 00:16:19.700
 done in

00:16:19.700 --> 00:16:20.980
 every nation.

00:16:21.419 --> 00:16:21.779
 No one

00:16:21.779 --> 00:16:22.460
 can hide.

00:16:22.940 --> 00:16:23.320
 No one

00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:23.720
 will be

00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:24.159
 immune.

00:16:24.659 --> 00:16:25.080
 Everything

00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:25.639
 will be

00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:26.180
 revealed.

00:16:26.659 --> 00:16:27.080
 Everything

00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:27.620
 will be

00:16:27.620 --> 00:16:28.320
 exposed.

00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:29.259
 Justice

00:16:29.259 --> 00:16:30.480
 will be

00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:30.919
 done.

00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:34.019
 And it

00:16:34.019 --> 00:16:34.580
 will be a

00:16:34.580 --> 00:16:35.200
 faithful

00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:36.100
 justice.

00:16:37.340 --> 00:16:37.820
 Look at

00:16:37.820 --> 00:16:38.159
 the end

00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:38.560
 of verse

00:16:38.560 --> 00:16:38.940
 3.

00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:40.600
 In

00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:41.720
 faithfulness

00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:42.700
 he will

00:16:42.700 --> 00:16:43.539
 bring forth

00:16:43.539 --> 00:16:44.180
 justice.

00:16:44.179 --> 00:16:44.379
 justice.

00:16:45.500 --> 00:16:46.239
 We want

00:16:46.239 --> 00:16:47.000
 the truth.

00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:48.139
 Thus the

00:16:48.139 --> 00:16:48.599
 cry of

00:16:48.599 --> 00:16:49.459
 everyone who

00:16:49.459 --> 00:16:49.879
 suffers

00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:51.039
 injustice.

00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:52.000
 No more

00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:52.559
 lies.

00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:53.500
 No cover

00:16:53.500 --> 00:16:53.839
 ups.

00:16:54.179 --> 00:16:54.599
 No more

00:16:54.599 --> 00:16:55.079
 spin.

00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:56.339
 We want

00:16:56.339 --> 00:16:57.120
 the plain

00:16:57.120 --> 00:16:57.979
 truth.

00:16:59.659 --> 00:17:00.199
 Well this

00:17:00.199 --> 00:17:00.919
 servant is

00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:02.179
 faithful in

00:17:02.179 --> 00:17:03.019
 bringing justice.

00:17:03.439 --> 00:17:03.779
 He will

00:17:03.779 --> 00:17:04.960
 uphold the

00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:05.319
 truth.

00:17:05.619 --> 00:17:06.000
 He will

00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:06.500
 not be

00:17:06.500 --> 00:17:07.639
 swayed by

00:17:07.639 --> 00:17:08.359
 people's

00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:08.879
 stories.

00:17:10.019 --> 00:17:10.519
 It's not

00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:11.019
 going to be

00:17:11.019 --> 00:17:11.460
 like the

00:17:11.460 --> 00:17:11.879
 banking

00:17:11.879 --> 00:17:13.099
 inquiry or

00:17:13.099 --> 00:17:13.299
 the

00:17:13.299 --> 00:17:14.119
 investigations

00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:15.079
 into FIFA

00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:16.119
 where truth

00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:16.720
 is hard

00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:17.240
 to come

00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:17.539
 by.

00:17:18.139 --> 00:17:18.759
 It will

00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:20.220
 be the

00:17:20.220 --> 00:17:20.599
 whole

00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:22.119
 truth and

00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:22.900
 the absolute

00:17:22.900 --> 00:17:23.519
 truth.

00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:26.460
 So it will

00:17:26.460 --> 00:17:27.400
 be universal,

00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:29.720
 faithful and

00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:30.379
 his justice

00:17:30.379 --> 00:17:31.160
 will be

00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:31.819
 eternal.

00:17:32.180 --> 00:17:32.579
 Look at

00:17:32.579 --> 00:17:33.200
 verse 4.

00:17:34.779 --> 00:17:35.200
 He will

00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:36.139
 not falter

00:17:36.139 --> 00:17:37.099
 or be

00:17:37.099 --> 00:17:37.900
 discouraged

00:17:37.900 --> 00:17:39.660
 until he

00:17:39.660 --> 00:17:40.880
 establishes

00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:41.580
 justice

00:17:41.580 --> 00:17:43.180
 on earth.

00:17:45.180 --> 00:17:46.180
 The kind

00:17:46.180 --> 00:17:46.720
 of justice

00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:47.360
 that we're

00:17:47.360 --> 00:17:48.120
 used to

00:17:48.120 --> 00:17:50.620
 is people

00:17:50.620 --> 00:17:51.460
 being sentenced

00:17:51.460 --> 00:17:52.100
 for some

00:17:52.100 --> 00:17:53.040
 particular crime

00:17:53.040 --> 00:17:53.400
 they've

00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:53.759
 committed

00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:55.860
 and then

00:17:55.860 --> 00:17:56.300
 they're being

00:17:56.300 --> 00:17:57.080
 let off so

00:17:57.080 --> 00:17:57.900
 many years

00:17:57.900 --> 00:17:58.940
 for good

00:17:58.940 --> 00:17:59.480
 behaviour

00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:00.580
 and then the

00:18:00.580 --> 00:18:01.080
 rest of the

00:18:01.080 --> 00:18:01.840
 sentence being

00:18:01.840 --> 00:18:02.440
 suspended.

00:18:03.040 --> 00:18:03.600
 So the

00:18:03.600 --> 00:18:04.540
 criminal walks

00:18:04.540 --> 00:18:05.960
 free and

00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:06.420
 the victim

00:18:06.420 --> 00:18:06.960
 suffers.

00:18:07.900 --> 00:18:08.420
 That's the

00:18:08.420 --> 00:18:08.820
 kind of

00:18:08.820 --> 00:18:09.580
 justice we

00:18:09.580 --> 00:18:10.340
 get today

00:18:10.340 --> 00:18:12.019
 whereas this

00:18:12.019 --> 00:18:12.660
 servant that

00:18:12.660 --> 00:18:13.200
 we're reading

00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:14.440
 about he

00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:15.100
 will not

00:18:15.100 --> 00:18:16.620
 rest until

00:18:16.620 --> 00:18:18.060
 justice is

00:18:18.060 --> 00:18:18.860
 established

00:18:18.860 --> 00:18:19.960
 until there

00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:20.320
 is a

00:18:20.320 --> 00:18:21.380
 foundation of

00:18:21.380 --> 00:18:22.540
 justice where

00:18:22.540 --> 00:18:23.040
 there is a

00:18:23.040 --> 00:18:23.860
 new kind of

00:18:23.860 --> 00:18:24.680
 order in this

00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:25.560
 world that

00:18:25.560 --> 00:18:26.280
 will last

00:18:26.280 --> 00:18:26.920
 forever.

00:18:28.360 --> 00:18:29.340
 So the

00:18:29.340 --> 00:18:30.440
 spirit filled

00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:32.640
 Jesus is

00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:33.120
 going to

00:18:33.120 --> 00:18:34.460
 bring justice.

00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:35.720
 The one who

00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:36.580
 has the power

00:18:36.579 --> 00:18:37.159
 of God

00:18:37.159 --> 00:18:38.379
 to achieve

00:18:38.379 --> 00:18:38.960
 the purpose

00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:39.500
 of God

00:18:39.500 --> 00:18:40.299
 and accomplish

00:18:40.299 --> 00:18:41.419
 the plan

00:18:41.419 --> 00:18:41.939
 of God.

00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:44.699
 The second

00:18:44.699 --> 00:18:45.259
 big thing

00:18:45.259 --> 00:18:45.679
 it's not

00:18:45.679 --> 00:18:46.599
 just justice

00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:47.240
 that he

00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:47.779
 will bring

00:18:47.779 --> 00:18:49.299
 but he's

00:18:49.299 --> 00:18:49.679
 going to

00:18:49.679 --> 00:18:50.519
 bring grace

00:18:50.519 --> 00:18:51.839
 to our

00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:52.879
 broken lives.

00:18:54.659 --> 00:18:55.299
 Grace is

00:18:55.299 --> 00:18:56.099
 God's

00:18:56.099 --> 00:18:56.919
 unconditional

00:18:56.919 --> 00:18:57.819
 kindness

00:18:57.819 --> 00:18:59.319
 that he

00:18:59.319 --> 00:18:59.639
 gives

00:18:59.639 --> 00:19:00.220
 freely

00:19:00.220 --> 00:19:01.339
 to those

00:19:01.339 --> 00:19:01.699
 who are

00:19:01.699 --> 00:19:02.139
 weak

00:19:02.140 --> 00:19:03.840
 and broken

00:19:03.840 --> 00:19:04.980
 and

00:19:04.980 --> 00:19:06.020
 undeserving.

00:19:07.500 --> 00:19:07.920
 It's

00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:08.759
 mercy

00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:10.640
 God's

00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:11.380
 unconditional

00:19:11.380 --> 00:19:12.120
 kindness

00:19:12.120 --> 00:19:13.560
 to those

00:19:13.560 --> 00:19:13.880
 who are

00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:14.340
 weak and

00:19:14.340 --> 00:19:14.700
 broken.

00:19:15.980 --> 00:19:16.880
 He is

00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:17.480
 gentle

00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:18.580
 in bringing

00:19:18.580 --> 00:19:19.140
 grace.

00:19:20.259 --> 00:19:20.820
 So look

00:19:20.820 --> 00:19:21.380
 in verses

00:19:21.380 --> 00:19:22.259
 2 and 3

00:19:22.259 --> 00:19:23.060
 we've got

00:19:23.060 --> 00:19:23.620
 justice

00:19:23.620 --> 00:19:24.520
 going on

00:19:24.520 --> 00:19:25.160
 and then

00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:25.800
 right in

00:19:25.800 --> 00:19:26.200
 the middle

00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:26.740
 of all

00:19:26.740 --> 00:19:27.460
 this justice

00:19:27.460 --> 00:19:28.180
 and bringing

00:19:28.180 --> 00:19:28.860
 things to

00:19:28.860 --> 00:19:29.259
 right

00:19:29.259 --> 00:19:30.799
 we see

00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:31.480
 a servant

00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:32.599
 of grace.

00:19:33.539 --> 00:19:33.879
 Look at

00:19:33.879 --> 00:19:34.460
 verse 2.

00:19:35.019 --> 00:19:35.359
 He will

00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:36.259
 not shout

00:19:36.259 --> 00:19:37.960
 or cry

00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:38.420
 out

00:19:38.420 --> 00:19:40.019
 or raise

00:19:40.019 --> 00:19:40.819
 his voice

00:19:40.819 --> 00:19:41.819
 in the

00:19:41.819 --> 00:19:42.400
 streets.

00:19:43.619 --> 00:19:44.640
 The bully

00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:45.180
 shouts

00:19:45.180 --> 00:19:45.759
 doesn't he?

00:19:47.019 --> 00:19:47.559
 The

00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:48.379
 domineering

00:19:48.379 --> 00:19:49.339
 cry out

00:19:49.339 --> 00:19:51.200
 and shout

00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:52.079
 people down

00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:52.680
 and put

00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:53.519
 people down.

00:19:54.579 --> 00:19:55.579
 The unjust

00:19:55.579 --> 00:19:56.539
 boasts

00:19:56.539 --> 00:19:57.019
 from the

00:19:57.019 --> 00:19:57.640
 street and

00:19:57.640 --> 00:19:58.180
 says look

00:19:58.180 --> 00:19:58.700
 at who I

00:19:58.700 --> 00:19:59.099
 am and

00:19:59.099 --> 00:19:59.439
 look at

00:19:59.439 --> 00:19:59.859
 what I've

00:19:59.859 --> 00:20:00.299
 done and

00:20:00.299 --> 00:20:00.619
 look at

00:20:00.619 --> 00:20:00.959
 what I

00:20:00.959 --> 00:20:01.339
 have.

00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:02.959
 We've

00:20:02.959 --> 00:20:03.419
 all met

00:20:03.419 --> 00:20:03.980
 that kind

00:20:03.980 --> 00:20:04.459
 of person.

00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:04.959
 They don't

00:20:04.959 --> 00:20:05.539
 care about

00:20:05.539 --> 00:20:06.099
 the weak

00:20:06.099 --> 00:20:06.779
 or the

00:20:06.779 --> 00:20:07.219
 vulnerable.

00:20:07.579 --> 00:20:07.879
 They're

00:20:07.879 --> 00:20:08.439
 aggressive.

00:20:08.699 --> 00:20:08.859
 They're

00:20:08.859 --> 00:20:09.419
 threatening.

00:20:09.899 --> 00:20:10.099
 They're

00:20:10.099 --> 00:20:10.819
 about building

00:20:10.819 --> 00:20:11.379
 their own

00:20:11.379 --> 00:20:12.199
 little empires

00:20:12.199 --> 00:20:12.579
 and their

00:20:12.579 --> 00:20:13.259
 own ego.

00:20:13.659 --> 00:20:14.500
 They trample

00:20:14.500 --> 00:20:15.199
 on the

00:20:15.199 --> 00:20:16.000
 broken only

00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:16.619
 to get to

00:20:16.619 --> 00:20:17.179
 the top.

00:20:18.699 --> 00:20:19.519
 But not

00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:20.139
 the servants.

00:20:21.579 --> 00:20:22.359
 He comes

00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:22.879
 with the

00:20:22.879 --> 00:20:23.759
 power of

00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:25.679
 God but

00:20:25.679 --> 00:20:26.279
 yet he is

00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:26.899
 gentle.

00:20:26.900 --> 00:20:28.920
 he doesn't

00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:29.460
 shout.

00:20:29.460 --> 00:20:31.600
 He speaks

00:20:31.600 --> 00:20:32.420
 words of

00:20:32.420 --> 00:20:33.759
 calm and

00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:34.240
 comfort.

00:20:35.600 --> 00:20:36.860
 He doesn't

00:20:36.860 --> 00:20:37.800
 shout people

00:20:37.800 --> 00:20:39.759
 down but

00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:40.420
 he listens

00:20:40.420 --> 00:20:41.360
 to the cry

00:20:41.360 --> 00:20:41.980
 of those

00:20:41.980 --> 00:20:42.720
 who suffer

00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:43.980
 and who

00:20:43.980 --> 00:20:44.500
 struggle.

00:20:45.560 --> 00:20:46.200
 So here

00:20:46.200 --> 00:20:46.700
 is one

00:20:46.700 --> 00:20:47.160
 who is

00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:48.400
 understanding

00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:50.040
 and gracious.

00:20:51.080 --> 00:20:51.440
 He is

00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:52.200
 slow to

00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:53.240
 anger and

00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:54.080
 rich in

00:20:54.080 --> 00:20:55.420
 love towards

00:20:55.420 --> 00:20:56.280
 the weak

00:20:56.280 --> 00:20:57.460
 and the

00:20:57.460 --> 00:20:57.880
 vulnerable

00:20:57.880 --> 00:20:58.940
 and the

00:20:58.940 --> 00:20:59.300
 broken.

00:21:00.460 --> 00:21:01.259
 But he's

00:21:01.259 --> 00:21:01.720
 not just

00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:02.220
 gentle.

00:21:03.220 --> 00:21:04.160
 He is

00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:05.120
 compassionate.

00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:06.380
 Look at

00:21:06.380 --> 00:21:07.060
 verse 3.

00:21:08.840 --> 00:21:09.660
 A bruised

00:21:09.660 --> 00:21:11.259
 reed he

00:21:11.259 --> 00:21:11.940
 will not

00:21:11.940 --> 00:21:12.440
 break.

00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:15.600
 I don't

00:21:15.600 --> 00:21:15.900
 think we

00:21:15.900 --> 00:21:16.720
 use reeds

00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:17.420
 much but

00:21:17.420 --> 00:21:18.000
 in the

00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:18.559
 time that

00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:18.860
 it was

00:21:18.860 --> 00:21:19.259
 written

00:21:19.259 --> 00:21:20.120
 reeds

00:21:20.120 --> 00:21:20.580
 were very

00:21:20.580 --> 00:21:21.200
 useful for

00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:21.720
 making all

00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:22.180
 kinds of

00:21:22.180 --> 00:21:22.400
 things.

00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:22.680
 Maybe

00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:23.240
 putting on

00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:23.660
 a roof.

00:21:24.039 --> 00:21:24.259
 Maybe

00:21:24.259 --> 00:21:24.960
 building a

00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:25.240
 boat.

00:21:26.140 --> 00:21:26.840
 So a

00:21:26.840 --> 00:21:27.799
 bruised or

00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:28.580
 a rotting

00:21:28.580 --> 00:21:30.019
 reed is

00:21:30.019 --> 00:21:30.600
 of no use

00:21:30.600 --> 00:21:31.200
 to anyone.

00:21:31.720 --> 00:21:32.500
 It's for

00:21:32.500 --> 00:21:33.059
 the fire.

00:21:33.620 --> 00:21:33.900
 It's

00:21:33.900 --> 00:21:34.380
 considered

00:21:34.380 --> 00:21:34.960
 useless,

00:21:35.180 --> 00:21:35.559
 fit for

00:21:35.559 --> 00:21:35.880
 nothing,

00:21:36.080 --> 00:21:36.640
 of no

00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:37.160
 value.

00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:38.660
 All it

00:21:38.660 --> 00:21:38.940
 can be

00:21:38.940 --> 00:21:39.380
 done is

00:21:39.380 --> 00:21:40.559
 thrown into

00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:41.080
 the rubbish

00:21:41.080 --> 00:21:41.460
 heap.

00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:43.380
 But look

00:21:43.380 --> 00:21:43.700
 what it

00:21:43.700 --> 00:21:44.019
 says.

00:21:44.360 --> 00:21:45.059
 A bruised

00:21:45.059 --> 00:21:45.640
 reed he

00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:46.240
 will not

00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:46.640
 break.

00:21:46.980 --> 00:21:47.620
 The servant

00:21:47.620 --> 00:21:48.259
 will not

00:21:48.259 --> 00:21:49.320
 discard or

00:21:49.320 --> 00:21:50.660
 reject those

00:21:50.660 --> 00:21:51.660
 who are like

00:21:51.660 --> 00:21:52.680
 bruised

00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:53.559
 reeds.

00:21:54.059 --> 00:21:54.519
 He will

00:21:54.519 --> 00:21:55.279
 not break

00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:56.120
 us or

00:21:56.120 --> 00:21:57.200
 destroy us.

00:21:57.519 --> 00:21:58.059
 He is

00:21:58.059 --> 00:21:59.279
 compassionate.

00:22:02.420 --> 00:22:03.259
 Look at

00:22:03.259 --> 00:22:03.759
 the rest of

00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:04.360
 verse 3.

00:22:05.940 --> 00:22:06.380
 And a

00:22:06.380 --> 00:22:07.100
 smouldering

00:22:07.100 --> 00:22:08.759
 wick he

00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:09.400
 will not

00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:09.900
 snuff

00:22:09.900 --> 00:22:10.460
 out.

00:22:10.460 --> 00:22:12.840
 we might

00:22:12.840 --> 00:22:13.700
 modernise it

00:22:13.700 --> 00:22:14.180
 and say

00:22:14.180 --> 00:22:14.620
 an old

00:22:14.620 --> 00:22:15.360
 lightbulb

00:22:15.360 --> 00:22:16.579
 he won't

00:22:16.579 --> 00:22:17.279
 throw out.

00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:19.079
 A lightbulb

00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:19.539
 that doesn't

00:22:19.539 --> 00:22:20.380
 work anymore

00:22:20.380 --> 00:22:20.980
 or the

00:22:20.980 --> 00:22:21.680
 candles that

00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:22.180
 we've used

00:22:22.180 --> 00:22:22.759
 for Christmas

00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:23.440
 decorations

00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:24.259
 and there's

00:22:24.259 --> 00:22:25.120
 hardly anything

00:22:25.120 --> 00:22:25.840
 left in it

00:22:25.840 --> 00:22:26.120
 at all.

00:22:26.340 --> 00:22:26.740
 Well it's

00:22:26.740 --> 00:22:27.160
 fit for

00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:27.460
 nothing,

00:22:27.579 --> 00:22:28.100
 its purpose

00:22:28.100 --> 00:22:28.600
 is over,

00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:29.360
 it's chucked

00:22:29.360 --> 00:22:29.539
 out,

00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:30.079
 it's thrown

00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:30.420
 away,

00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:31.019
 it's

00:22:31.019 --> 00:22:31.620
 discarded,

00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:32.079
 it's

00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:32.500
 useless.

00:22:32.500 --> 00:22:36.019
 But the

00:22:36.019 --> 00:22:36.500
 servant

00:22:36.500 --> 00:22:38.200
 will not

00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:39.059
 push away

00:22:39.059 --> 00:22:40.059
 or trample

00:22:40.059 --> 00:22:40.940
 on those

00:22:40.940 --> 00:22:41.359
 of us

00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:41.700
 who are

00:22:41.700 --> 00:22:42.619
 like a

00:22:42.619 --> 00:22:43.400
 smouldering

00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:44.240
 wick,

00:22:45.059 --> 00:22:45.579
 struggling

00:22:45.579 --> 00:22:46.480
 to survive

00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:47.259
 in the

00:22:47.259 --> 00:22:47.759
 struggles

00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:48.240
 and the

00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:48.799
 heartaches

00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:49.380
 of life

00:22:49.380 --> 00:22:50.180
 and all

00:22:50.180 --> 00:22:50.740
 the pressures

00:22:50.740 --> 00:22:51.160
 and the

00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:51.660
 demands

00:22:51.660 --> 00:22:52.160
 that come

00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:52.640
 upon us.

00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:53.259
 He will

00:22:53.259 --> 00:22:54.720
 not crush

00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:55.579
 us or

00:22:55.579 --> 00:22:56.579
 smash us,

00:22:56.960 --> 00:22:57.839
 he is

00:22:57.839 --> 00:22:59.200
 compassionate.

00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:03.319
 You see

00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:03.720
 what the

00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:04.460
 world sees

00:23:04.460 --> 00:23:05.059
 as hopeless

00:23:05.059 --> 00:23:05.740
 and beyond

00:23:05.740 --> 00:23:06.299
 use,

00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:08.799
 the servant

00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:09.480
 will take

00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:10.299
 those people

00:23:10.299 --> 00:23:11.960
 and he

00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:12.799
 will restore

00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:13.100
 them.

00:23:14.220 --> 00:23:14.799
 What the

00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:15.539
 world sees

00:23:15.539 --> 00:23:16.160
 as useless

00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:16.819
 and without

00:23:16.819 --> 00:23:17.640
 hope and

00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:18.519
 everybody else

00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:19.279
 is discarded

00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:19.900
 and given

00:23:19.900 --> 00:23:20.460
 up on,

00:23:21.100 --> 00:23:21.640
 they're too

00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:22.160
 broken,

00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:22.980
 they're too

00:23:22.980 --> 00:23:23.500
 sinful,

00:23:23.860 --> 00:23:24.319
 their life

00:23:24.319 --> 00:23:24.759
 is too

00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:25.460
 much of a

00:23:25.460 --> 00:23:25.840
 mess,

00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:27.900
 the servant

00:23:27.900 --> 00:23:28.620
 will take

00:23:28.619 --> 00:23:29.379
 those people

00:23:29.379 --> 00:23:30.319
 and he

00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:31.119
 will renew

00:23:31.119 --> 00:23:32.579
 them and

00:23:32.579 --> 00:23:33.099
 make them

00:23:33.099 --> 00:23:34.639
 right again.

00:23:36.019 --> 00:23:36.959
 So here

00:23:36.959 --> 00:23:37.359
 is the

00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:38.539
 promise of

00:23:38.539 --> 00:23:39.119
 a spirit

00:23:39.119 --> 00:23:40.039
 filled servant

00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:40.919
 coming to

00:23:40.919 --> 00:23:41.819
 bring justice,

00:23:42.459 --> 00:23:43.159
 to correct,

00:23:43.619 --> 00:23:44.039
 to bring

00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:44.679
 protection,

00:23:44.939 --> 00:23:45.259
 to bring

00:23:45.259 --> 00:23:45.919
 punishment,

00:23:46.419 --> 00:23:47.079
 but one

00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:48.119
 who comes

00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:48.559
 to bring

00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:50.059
 grace to

00:23:50.059 --> 00:23:50.619
 the broken

00:23:50.619 --> 00:23:51.039
 and to

00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:51.500
 the weak,

00:23:51.939 --> 00:23:52.359
 to be

00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:53.819
 gentle and

00:23:53.819 --> 00:23:54.479
 compassionate.

00:23:56.419 --> 00:23:57.359
 So how

00:23:57.359 --> 00:23:57.759
 are we

00:23:57.759 --> 00:23:58.299
 going to

00:23:58.299 --> 00:23:59.279
 experience

00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:00.740
 justice

00:24:00.740 --> 00:24:02.099
 and grace?

00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:05.419
 Well,

00:24:05.480 --> 00:24:05.919
 as Jesus

00:24:05.919 --> 00:24:06.639
 walked this

00:24:06.639 --> 00:24:06.980
 earth,

00:24:07.859 --> 00:24:08.399
 as the

00:24:08.399 --> 00:24:09.200
 spirit-filled

00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:09.859
 servant

00:24:09.859 --> 00:24:10.940
 began to

00:24:10.940 --> 00:24:11.299
 live his

00:24:11.299 --> 00:24:11.619
 life,

00:24:11.919 --> 00:24:12.480
 he brought

00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:13.359
 justice and

00:24:13.359 --> 00:24:14.440
 grace where

00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:15.079
 he went.

00:24:15.779 --> 00:24:16.539
 He spoke

00:24:16.539 --> 00:24:16.859
 up,

00:24:16.960 --> 00:24:17.359
 didn't he,

00:24:17.419 --> 00:24:17.899
 for those

00:24:17.899 --> 00:24:18.180
 who were

00:24:18.180 --> 00:24:18.599
 vulnerable

00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:19.200
 and weak.

00:24:19.899 --> 00:24:20.680
 He took

00:24:20.680 --> 00:24:22.240
 the bruised

00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:22.779
 reeds

00:24:22.779 --> 00:24:23.460
 and the

00:24:23.460 --> 00:24:24.099
 smouldering

00:24:24.099 --> 00:24:24.579
 wicks.

00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:25.919
 He had

00:24:25.919 --> 00:24:26.879
 compassion on

00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:27.340
 those who

00:24:27.340 --> 00:24:27.800
 were shut

00:24:27.800 --> 00:24:28.560
 out and

00:24:28.560 --> 00:24:29.000
 who had

00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:29.420
 nothing.

00:24:29.420 --> 00:24:30.280
 He fed

00:24:30.280 --> 00:24:30.900
 the hungry,

00:24:31.280 --> 00:24:31.780
 he healed

00:24:31.780 --> 00:24:32.320
 the sick,

00:24:32.700 --> 00:24:33.320
 he welcomed

00:24:33.320 --> 00:24:33.840
 the leper

00:24:33.840 --> 00:24:34.520
 that everybody

00:24:34.520 --> 00:24:35.160
 else had

00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:35.980
 despised,

00:24:36.500 --> 00:24:37.160
 he took

00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:37.600
 in the

00:24:37.600 --> 00:24:38.380
 woman who

00:24:38.380 --> 00:24:38.780
 everybody

00:24:38.780 --> 00:24:39.440
 else had

00:24:39.440 --> 00:24:39.980
 rejected,

00:24:40.460 --> 00:24:41.440
 he accepted

00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:42.140
 the sinners

00:24:42.140 --> 00:24:42.660
 and those

00:24:42.660 --> 00:24:43.320
 that everybody

00:24:43.320 --> 00:24:44.160
 had thrown

00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:44.700
 out and

00:24:44.700 --> 00:24:46.420
 the outcasts,

00:24:46.520 --> 00:24:47.400
 he restored

00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:48.020
 the demon

00:24:48.020 --> 00:24:48.700
 possessed,

00:24:48.700 --> 00:24:48.920
 possessed,

00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:51.019
 he came

00:24:51.019 --> 00:24:52.460
 with gentleness

00:24:52.460 --> 00:24:54.039
 and compassion,

00:24:54.779 --> 00:24:56.880
 but he also

00:24:56.880 --> 00:24:57.440
 came in

00:24:57.440 --> 00:24:57.840
 justice,

00:24:58.920 --> 00:25:00.039
 he condemned

00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:01.400
 the selfish

00:25:01.400 --> 00:25:02.019
 rich,

00:25:03.059 --> 00:25:04.039
 he judged

00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:05.180
 the hypocritical

00:25:05.180 --> 00:25:06.180
 religious who

00:25:06.180 --> 00:25:07.080
 looked down on

00:25:07.080 --> 00:25:07.880
 everybody else

00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:08.440
 because they

00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:09.299
 failed and got

00:25:09.299 --> 00:25:10.240
 so many things

00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:10.660
 wrong.

00:25:12.059 --> 00:25:13.039
 So as Jesus

00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:13.840
 walked this

00:25:13.840 --> 00:25:14.160
 earth,

00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:15.180
 the spirit

00:25:15.180 --> 00:25:16.160
 filled servant

00:25:16.160 --> 00:25:17.440
 came with

00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:19.259
 justice and

00:25:19.259 --> 00:25:19.940
 with grace.

00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:23.019
 But that was

00:25:23.019 --> 00:25:23.940
 only a sign

00:25:23.940 --> 00:25:24.720
 of the greater

00:25:24.720 --> 00:25:26.080
 justice and

00:25:26.080 --> 00:25:26.700
 a deeper

00:25:26.700 --> 00:25:28.059
 grace that

00:25:28.059 --> 00:25:28.799
 we can all

00:25:28.799 --> 00:25:30.759
 experience today.

00:25:34.600 --> 00:25:35.539
 You see,

00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:36.059
 Jesus,

00:25:36.220 --> 00:25:36.720
 the spirit

00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:37.700
 filled servant,

00:25:38.380 --> 00:25:39.500
 did not end

00:25:39.500 --> 00:25:40.279
 his life by

00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:41.200
 walking amongst

00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:41.720
 people,

00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:44.360
 he came to

00:25:44.360 --> 00:25:45.519
 die for

00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:46.180
 people like

00:25:46.180 --> 00:25:46.799
 you and me

00:25:46.799 --> 00:25:47.659
 and it's

00:25:47.659 --> 00:25:48.319
 only when we

00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:48.839
 look at the

00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:49.359
 cross that

00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:49.859
 we actually

00:25:49.859 --> 00:25:50.919
 see justice

00:25:50.919 --> 00:25:52.240
 and grace

00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:53.299
 in all its

00:25:53.299 --> 00:25:53.940
 wonder and

00:25:53.940 --> 00:25:54.339
 all its

00:25:54.339 --> 00:25:54.799
 beauty.

00:25:55.339 --> 00:25:56.039
 Because when

00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:56.960
 we see Jesus

00:25:56.960 --> 00:25:57.819
 dying on the

00:25:57.819 --> 00:25:58.099
 cross,

00:25:58.359 --> 00:25:59.319
 we see him

00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:00.299
 taking my

00:26:00.299 --> 00:26:01.200
 place and

00:26:01.200 --> 00:26:01.960
 your place.

00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:03.200
 He pays the

00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:04.019
 penalty for

00:26:04.019 --> 00:26:05.139
 all the acts

00:26:05.139 --> 00:26:06.460
 of injustice

00:26:06.460 --> 00:26:07.659
 that have ever

00:26:07.659 --> 00:26:08.659
 taken place.

00:26:09.940 --> 00:26:10.859
 So the

00:26:10.859 --> 00:26:11.639
 justice that

00:26:11.639 --> 00:26:12.359
 we long

00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:13.639
 for ourselves,

00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:15.119
 the justice

00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:15.719
 that we

00:26:15.719 --> 00:26:16.579
 want upon

00:26:16.579 --> 00:26:17.179
 everybody

00:26:17.179 --> 00:26:18.079
 else and

00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:18.500
 that we

00:26:18.500 --> 00:26:19.019
 deserve,

00:26:19.500 --> 00:26:20.399
 fell not

00:26:20.399 --> 00:26:21.039
 on us,

00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:22.979
 but fell

00:26:22.979 --> 00:26:23.459
 on the

00:26:23.459 --> 00:26:24.039
 servant,

00:26:24.719 --> 00:26:25.239
 on his

00:26:25.239 --> 00:26:25.639
 son,

00:26:26.099 --> 00:26:26.399
 Jesus

00:26:26.399 --> 00:26:27.000
 Christ.

00:26:29.399 --> 00:26:30.239
 Keep your

00:26:30.239 --> 00:26:30.759
 finger in

00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:32.239
 chapter 42

00:26:32.239 --> 00:26:34.179
 and jump

00:26:34.179 --> 00:26:34.859
 forward to

00:26:34.859 --> 00:26:36.059
 Isaiah 53.

00:26:36.059 --> 00:26:40.099
 and here

00:26:40.099 --> 00:26:40.599
 we have

00:26:40.599 --> 00:26:41.019
 another

00:26:41.019 --> 00:26:41.679
 picture

00:26:41.679 --> 00:26:44.159
 of the

00:26:44.159 --> 00:26:44.940
 justice of

00:26:44.940 --> 00:26:45.279
 God

00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:45.899
 falling

00:26:45.899 --> 00:26:47.480
 not on

00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:47.980
 us,

00:26:48.980 --> 00:26:50.500
 but on

00:26:50.500 --> 00:26:50.879
 this

00:26:50.879 --> 00:26:51.980
 spirit-filled

00:26:51.980 --> 00:26:52.539
 servant,

00:26:54.099 --> 00:26:54.940
 the gentle,

00:26:55.679 --> 00:26:56.279
 compassionate

00:26:56.279 --> 00:26:57.940
 and pure

00:26:57.940 --> 00:26:58.339
 one

00:26:58.339 --> 00:27:00.339
 who takes

00:27:00.339 --> 00:27:01.279
 the injustices

00:27:01.279 --> 00:27:01.659
 on the

00:27:01.659 --> 00:27:01.960
 world.

00:27:01.960 --> 00:27:02.700
 Look at

00:27:02.700 --> 00:27:03.259
 verse 4

00:27:03.259 --> 00:27:03.740
 of chapter

00:27:03.740 --> 00:27:04.400
 53.

00:27:05.500 --> 00:27:05.940
 This is

00:27:05.940 --> 00:27:06.539
 speaking of

00:27:06.539 --> 00:27:07.840
 the spirit-filled

00:27:07.840 --> 00:27:08.420
 servant.

00:27:09.019 --> 00:27:09.600
 Surely he

00:27:09.600 --> 00:27:10.140
 took up

00:27:10.140 --> 00:27:10.440
 our

00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:11.259
 infirmities

00:27:11.259 --> 00:27:11.880
 and carried

00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:12.180
 our

00:27:12.180 --> 00:27:12.700
 sorrows,

00:27:13.600 --> 00:27:14.500
 yet we

00:27:14.500 --> 00:27:15.319
 considered him

00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:15.860
 stricken

00:27:15.860 --> 00:27:16.559
 by God,

00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:18.360
 smitten by

00:27:18.360 --> 00:27:18.840
 him and

00:27:18.840 --> 00:27:19.519
 afflicted.

00:27:20.660 --> 00:27:21.180
 He was

00:27:21.180 --> 00:27:21.700
 pierced

00:27:21.700 --> 00:27:23.100
 for our

00:27:23.100 --> 00:27:24.460
 transgressions.

00:27:25.500 --> 00:27:25.980
 He was

00:27:25.980 --> 00:27:26.759
 crushed for

00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:27.740
 our

00:27:27.740 --> 00:27:28.920
 iniquities.

00:27:29.940 --> 00:27:30.200
 The

00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:30.759
 punishment

00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:31.440
 that brought

00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:31.879
 us

00:27:31.879 --> 00:27:32.500
 peace

00:27:32.500 --> 00:27:33.960
 was on

00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:34.400
 him

00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:35.960
 and by

00:27:35.960 --> 00:27:36.680
 his wounds

00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:37.079
 we are

00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:37.440
 healed.

00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:39.579
 We all

00:27:39.579 --> 00:27:40.259
 like sheep

00:27:40.259 --> 00:27:40.740
 have gone

00:27:40.740 --> 00:27:41.279
 astray,

00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:42.259
 each of us

00:27:42.259 --> 00:27:42.720
 turned to

00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:43.099
 his own

00:27:43.099 --> 00:27:43.420
 way,

00:27:43.759 --> 00:27:44.220
 and the

00:27:44.220 --> 00:27:45.119
 Lord has

00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:45.920
 laid on

00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:46.480
 him

00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:47.559
 the

00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:48.539
 spirit-filled

00:27:48.539 --> 00:27:49.339
 servant,

00:27:50.119 --> 00:27:51.000
 the

00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:51.700
 iniquity

00:27:51.700 --> 00:27:53.119
 of us

00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:53.460
 all.

00:27:55.559 --> 00:27:56.599
 So the

00:27:56.599 --> 00:27:57.420
 spirit-filled

00:27:57.420 --> 00:27:58.819
 servant dies

00:27:58.819 --> 00:28:00.000
 for you

00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:00.740
 and me.

00:28:01.019 --> 00:28:01.460
 So when

00:28:01.460 --> 00:28:01.879
 we look

00:28:01.879 --> 00:28:02.159
 at the

00:28:02.159 --> 00:28:02.559
 cross,

00:28:03.139 --> 00:28:03.579
 justice

00:28:03.579 --> 00:28:04.399
 is

00:28:04.399 --> 00:28:05.299
 established

00:28:05.299 --> 00:28:06.240
 at the

00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:06.679
 cross.

00:28:08.019 --> 00:28:08.859
 And because

00:28:08.859 --> 00:28:09.740
 justice has

00:28:09.740 --> 00:28:10.439
 been done

00:28:10.439 --> 00:28:11.059
 at the

00:28:11.059 --> 00:28:11.379
 cross,

00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:12.339
 that means

00:28:12.339 --> 00:28:13.259
 grace now

00:28:13.259 --> 00:28:14.460
 flows to

00:28:14.460 --> 00:28:15.179
 people like

00:28:15.179 --> 00:28:15.599
 you and

00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:15.879
 me.

00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:17.579
 Grace

00:28:17.579 --> 00:28:18.259
 flows to

00:28:18.259 --> 00:28:18.700
 us from

00:28:18.700 --> 00:28:19.259
 the servant

00:28:19.259 --> 00:28:19.980
 and he

00:28:19.980 --> 00:28:20.339
 offers

00:28:20.339 --> 00:28:20.960
 forgiveness,

00:28:21.399 --> 00:28:21.899
 he offers

00:28:21.899 --> 00:28:22.519
 a welcome,

00:28:22.879 --> 00:28:23.259
 he says

00:28:23.259 --> 00:28:24.399
 you can be

00:28:24.399 --> 00:28:25.279
 now accepted,

00:28:25.700 --> 00:28:26.059
 you can

00:28:26.059 --> 00:28:26.519
 now be

00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:27.319
 treasured as

00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:27.980
 God's own

00:28:27.980 --> 00:28:28.460
 child,

00:28:29.379 --> 00:28:30.220
 no longer

00:28:30.220 --> 00:28:30.939
 struggling

00:28:30.939 --> 00:28:31.559
 under the

00:28:31.559 --> 00:28:32.000
 weight of

00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:32.460
 our own

00:28:32.460 --> 00:28:32.899
 failure.

00:28:33.259 --> 00:28:33.859
 The servant

00:28:33.859 --> 00:28:34.500
 will not

00:28:34.500 --> 00:28:35.599
 break the

00:28:35.599 --> 00:28:36.159
 bruised

00:28:36.159 --> 00:28:36.599
 reed,

00:28:36.819 --> 00:28:37.240
 he will

00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:38.259
 restore me,

00:28:38.599 --> 00:28:39.079
 the servant

00:28:39.079 --> 00:28:39.619
 will not

00:28:39.619 --> 00:28:40.319
 crush and

00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:40.839
 blow out

00:28:40.839 --> 00:28:41.619
 the smouldering

00:28:41.619 --> 00:28:41.899
 wick,

00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:43.399
 he renews

00:28:43.399 --> 00:28:43.579
 me,

00:28:43.839 --> 00:28:44.240
 he gives

00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:44.839
 me a new

00:28:44.839 --> 00:28:45.419
 kind of

00:28:45.419 --> 00:28:45.700
 life,

00:28:45.779 --> 00:28:46.159
 a new

00:28:46.159 --> 00:28:46.619
 way to

00:28:46.619 --> 00:28:46.919
 live.

00:28:47.879 --> 00:28:48.379
 And this

00:28:48.379 --> 00:28:49.039
 is all

00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:50.220
 ours and

00:28:50.220 --> 00:28:50.559
 we can

00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:51.220
 experience

00:28:51.220 --> 00:28:52.379
 this because

00:28:52.379 --> 00:28:52.939
 of our

00:28:52.939 --> 00:28:54.279
 trust in

00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:55.480
 the spirit-filled

00:28:55.480 --> 00:28:56.319
 servant.

00:28:57.319 --> 00:29:00.960
 back in

00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:02.259
 Isaiah 42

00:29:02.259 --> 00:29:04.079
 verse 4,

00:29:04.220 --> 00:29:04.579
 at the

00:29:04.579 --> 00:29:05.220
 very end

00:29:05.220 --> 00:29:05.759
 we read

00:29:05.759 --> 00:29:06.240
 this,

00:29:07.539 --> 00:29:08.740
 in his

00:29:08.740 --> 00:29:10.259
 law the

00:29:10.259 --> 00:29:11.019
 islands,

00:29:11.379 --> 00:29:12.039
 that is the

00:29:12.039 --> 00:29:13.059
 people groups,

00:29:13.619 --> 00:29:14.279
 the nations

00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:15.119
 of the world,

00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:16.799
 will put

00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:18.299
 their hope.

00:29:19.559 --> 00:29:20.200
 Hope

00:29:20.200 --> 00:29:22.240
 is the

00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:23.240
 thing or

00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:24.059
 the person

00:29:24.059 --> 00:29:25.299
 we entrust

00:29:25.299 --> 00:29:25.939
 our lives

00:29:25.940 --> 00:29:26.340
 too.

00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:28.299
 So the

00:29:28.299 --> 00:29:29.100
 encouragement,

00:29:29.700 --> 00:29:30.340
 the direction

00:29:30.340 --> 00:29:31.180
 for us is

00:29:31.180 --> 00:29:32.299
 put your

00:29:32.299 --> 00:29:32.779
 hope,

00:29:33.220 --> 00:29:34.200
 rest in

00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:34.720
 this

00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:35.539
 servant,

00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:37.380
 the one

00:29:37.380 --> 00:29:37.799
 who has

00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:38.440
 the power

00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:38.980
 of God

00:29:38.980 --> 00:29:40.100
 to achieve

00:29:40.100 --> 00:29:40.759
 the purposes

00:29:40.759 --> 00:29:41.340
 of God,

00:29:41.539 --> 00:29:41.960
 the one

00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:42.500
 who brings

00:29:42.500 --> 00:29:43.460
 justice to

00:29:43.460 --> 00:29:44.080
 this world

00:29:44.080 --> 00:29:44.900
 and the one

00:29:44.900 --> 00:29:45.440
 who brings

00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:46.660
 grace to

00:29:46.660 --> 00:29:47.400
 our lives.

00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:49.259
 Trust in

00:29:49.259 --> 00:29:51.500
 him and

00:29:51.500 --> 00:29:51.900
 we will

00:29:51.900 --> 00:29:52.860
 experience

00:29:52.860 --> 00:29:54.180
 justice and

00:29:54.180 --> 00:29:55.840
 grace today.

00:29:55.940 --> 00:29:58.340
 God's

00:29:58.340 --> 00:29:58.440
 love.

00:29:58.440 --> 00:29:58.620
 But it's

00:29:58.620 --> 00:29:59.080
 not just

00:29:59.080 --> 00:29:59.840
 about today.

00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:01.840
 It is

00:30:01.840 --> 00:30:02.480
 also to

00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:02.799
 come,

00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:03.400
 isn't it?

00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:04.900
 Because

00:30:04.900 --> 00:30:05.440
 living in

00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:06.000
 this world

00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:06.600
 as we

00:30:06.600 --> 00:30:06.940
 do,

00:30:07.740 --> 00:30:08.180
 and while

00:30:08.180 --> 00:30:08.580
 we may

00:30:08.580 --> 00:30:09.180
 yet know

00:30:09.180 --> 00:30:09.440
 the

00:30:09.440 --> 00:30:10.180
 spirit-filled

00:30:10.180 --> 00:30:10.720
 servant,

00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:12.259
 there is

00:30:12.259 --> 00:30:13.100
 still so

00:30:13.100 --> 00:30:13.420
 much

00:30:13.420 --> 00:30:14.299
 injustice

00:30:14.299 --> 00:30:15.039
 and

00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:15.759
 heartache

00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:16.799
 and pain

00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:17.940
 and war

00:30:17.940 --> 00:30:19.039
 and violence

00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:19.400
 that is

00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:20.000
 going on

00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:20.299
 in our

00:30:20.299 --> 00:30:20.640
 world

00:30:20.640 --> 00:30:21.500
 every single

00:30:21.500 --> 00:30:21.860
 day.

00:30:21.859 --> 00:30:23.419
 and there

00:30:23.419 --> 00:30:24.099
 is still

00:30:24.099 --> 00:30:24.740
 such a

00:30:24.740 --> 00:30:25.119
 need

00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:26.199
 for God's

00:30:26.199 --> 00:30:27.119
 grace so

00:30:27.119 --> 00:30:27.500
 that we

00:30:27.500 --> 00:30:28.179
 do not

00:30:28.179 --> 00:30:29.079
 sin anymore,

00:30:29.199 --> 00:30:29.519
 where we

00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:30.059
 do not

00:30:30.059 --> 00:30:30.979
 fail anymore,

00:30:31.199 --> 00:30:31.559
 where we

00:30:31.559 --> 00:30:31.959
 do not

00:30:31.959 --> 00:30:32.619
 mess up

00:30:32.619 --> 00:30:33.039
 anymore.

00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:33.939
 We want

00:30:33.939 --> 00:30:34.579
 things to be

00:30:34.579 --> 00:30:35.519
 so right

00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:36.019
 in our

00:30:36.019 --> 00:30:36.599
 lives.

00:30:38.199 --> 00:30:39.339
 So what we

00:30:39.339 --> 00:30:40.479
 experience in

00:30:40.479 --> 00:30:41.439
 a small part

00:30:41.439 --> 00:30:44.079
 now is a

00:30:44.079 --> 00:30:45.559
 taste of

00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:46.179
 the justice

00:30:46.179 --> 00:30:47.459
 and grace

00:30:47.459 --> 00:30:48.519
 that is yet

00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:49.359
 to come.

00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:51.079
 because what

00:30:51.079 --> 00:30:51.559
 we see

00:30:51.559 --> 00:30:52.240
 happening at

00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:52.819
 the cross

00:30:52.819 --> 00:30:53.879
 is just a

00:30:53.879 --> 00:30:55.019
 shadow of

00:30:55.019 --> 00:30:55.639
 the final

00:30:55.639 --> 00:30:56.379
 and ultimate

00:30:56.379 --> 00:30:57.379
 justice

00:30:57.379 --> 00:30:58.839
 that is to

00:30:58.839 --> 00:30:59.179
 come.

00:31:00.659 --> 00:31:01.359
 First,

00:31:02.299 --> 00:31:03.199
 there will

00:31:03.199 --> 00:31:04.059
 be justice

00:31:04.059 --> 00:31:04.740
 to come

00:31:04.740 --> 00:31:05.839
 when Jesus

00:31:05.839 --> 00:31:06.799
 comes again.

00:31:07.899 --> 00:31:08.799
 As we

00:31:08.799 --> 00:31:09.279
 finish,

00:31:09.959 --> 00:31:10.500
 turn to

00:31:10.500 --> 00:31:11.799
 Isaiah 65,

00:31:12.799 --> 00:31:15.879
 where we

00:31:15.879 --> 00:31:16.240
 get a

00:31:16.240 --> 00:31:17.699
 picture of

00:31:17.699 --> 00:31:18.459
 the justice

00:31:18.460 --> 00:31:19.480
 and the

00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:20.860
 grace that

00:31:20.860 --> 00:31:21.279
 we will

00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:21.779
 one day

00:31:21.779 --> 00:31:22.860
 experience in

00:31:22.860 --> 00:31:23.440
 all its

00:31:23.440 --> 00:31:23.799
 fullness.

00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:27.000
 So Isaiah

00:31:27.000 --> 00:31:27.680
 65,

00:31:28.200 --> 00:31:29.279
 verse 11.

00:31:40.039 --> 00:31:41.380
 Isaiah 65,

00:31:41.660 --> 00:31:42.240
 verse 11.

00:31:43.120 --> 00:31:43.700
 So this is

00:31:43.700 --> 00:31:44.279
 speaking of

00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:45.140
 God's future

00:31:45.140 --> 00:31:45.980
 justice to

00:31:45.980 --> 00:31:46.279
 come.

00:31:46.279 --> 00:31:47.299
 But as

00:31:47.299 --> 00:31:48.019
 for you

00:31:48.019 --> 00:31:49.819
 who forsake

00:31:49.819 --> 00:31:50.440
 the Lord

00:31:50.440 --> 00:31:52.200
 and forget

00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:53.019
 my holy

00:31:53.019 --> 00:31:53.440
 mountain,

00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:54.200
 so forget

00:31:54.200 --> 00:31:55.079
 about God

00:31:55.079 --> 00:31:55.559
 and his

00:31:55.559 --> 00:31:57.200
 glory and

00:31:57.200 --> 00:31:57.700
 God and

00:31:57.700 --> 00:31:58.940
 his ways,

00:31:59.379 --> 00:32:00.299
 who spread

00:32:00.299 --> 00:32:01.180
 a table for

00:32:01.180 --> 00:32:02.119
 fortune and

00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:03.200
 fill bowls of

00:32:03.200 --> 00:32:04.220
 mixed wine for

00:32:04.220 --> 00:32:04.819
 destiny,

00:32:05.759 --> 00:32:06.619
 I will

00:32:06.619 --> 00:32:07.680
 destine you

00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:08.259
 for the

00:32:08.259 --> 00:32:08.740
 sword,

00:32:09.740 --> 00:32:10.599
 and you

00:32:10.599 --> 00:32:11.000
 will all

00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:11.879
 bend down

00:32:11.879 --> 00:32:12.379
 for the

00:32:12.379 --> 00:32:13.000
 slaughter.

00:32:14.039 --> 00:32:14.599
 For I

00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:15.339
 called you,

00:32:16.419 --> 00:32:16.879
 but you

00:32:16.879 --> 00:32:17.459
 did not

00:32:17.459 --> 00:32:17.919
 answer.

00:32:18.659 --> 00:32:19.619
 I spoke,

00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:21.579
 but you

00:32:21.579 --> 00:32:22.240
 did not

00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:22.639
 listen.

00:32:23.879 --> 00:32:24.399
 You did

00:32:24.399 --> 00:32:25.059
 evil in

00:32:25.059 --> 00:32:25.839
 my sight and

00:32:25.839 --> 00:32:26.659
 chose what

00:32:26.659 --> 00:32:27.859
 displeases me.

00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:29.659
 So this is

00:32:29.659 --> 00:32:30.459
 speaking of a

00:32:30.459 --> 00:32:31.299
 future justice

00:32:31.299 --> 00:32:32.099
 when the

00:32:32.099 --> 00:32:32.659
 Spirit-filled

00:32:32.659 --> 00:32:33.339
 servant is

00:32:33.339 --> 00:32:33.839
 going to

00:32:33.839 --> 00:32:34.379
 come again

00:32:34.379 --> 00:32:35.119
 and for

00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:35.879
 all those

00:32:35.879 --> 00:32:36.339
 who have

00:32:36.339 --> 00:32:37.240
 refused him,

00:32:37.500 --> 00:32:38.259
 who pushed

00:32:38.259 --> 00:32:39.980
 the Spirit-filled

00:32:39.980 --> 00:32:41.139
 servant out of

00:32:41.140 --> 00:32:41.960
 their lives

00:32:41.960 --> 00:32:43.759
 and rejected

00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:44.220
 him,

00:32:45.380 --> 00:32:46.759
 justice will

00:32:46.759 --> 00:32:47.740
 finally come

00:32:47.740 --> 00:32:49.800
 and it will

00:32:49.800 --> 00:32:50.500
 be eternal

00:32:50.500 --> 00:32:52.580
 and there

00:32:52.580 --> 00:32:53.240
 will be no

00:32:53.240 --> 00:32:53.759
 grace.

00:32:56.700 --> 00:32:59.120
 But for

00:32:59.120 --> 00:32:59.640
 those who

00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:00.440
 have welcomed,

00:33:01.120 --> 00:33:01.980
 for those who

00:33:01.980 --> 00:33:03.140
 have come like

00:33:03.140 --> 00:33:03.820
 a bruised

00:33:03.820 --> 00:33:04.560
 reed in a

00:33:04.560 --> 00:33:05.140
 smouldering

00:33:05.140 --> 00:33:05.900
 wick and

00:33:05.900 --> 00:33:06.460
 said I am

00:33:06.460 --> 00:33:07.340
 helpless and I

00:33:07.340 --> 00:33:07.980
 cannot do

00:33:07.980 --> 00:33:08.380
 anything,

00:33:08.740 --> 00:33:09.600
 they will know

00:33:09.599 --> 00:33:10.199
 and enjoy

00:33:10.199 --> 00:33:11.339
 grace in

00:33:11.339 --> 00:33:11.959
 all its

00:33:11.959 --> 00:33:12.599
 fullness to

00:33:12.599 --> 00:33:12.859
 come.

00:33:12.980 --> 00:33:13.399
 So look at

00:33:13.399 --> 00:33:13.939
 the rest of

00:33:13.939 --> 00:33:15.259
 chapter 65

00:33:15.259 --> 00:33:16.759
 verse 17.

00:33:18.439 --> 00:33:19.119
 Here it

00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:19.719
 speaks of

00:33:19.719 --> 00:33:20.299
 the future

00:33:20.299 --> 00:33:20.959
 grace that

00:33:20.959 --> 00:33:21.419
 we will

00:33:21.419 --> 00:33:22.000
 receive.

00:33:22.659 --> 00:33:23.279
 Behold,

00:33:23.500 --> 00:33:24.219
 I will

00:33:24.219 --> 00:33:25.719
 create new

00:33:25.719 --> 00:33:27.179
 heavens and

00:33:27.179 --> 00:33:27.579
 a new

00:33:27.579 --> 00:33:27.919
 earth.

00:33:28.819 --> 00:33:29.459
 The former

00:33:29.459 --> 00:33:30.079
 things will

00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:30.519
 not be

00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:30.980
 remembered,

00:33:31.339 --> 00:33:31.879
 nor will

00:33:31.879 --> 00:33:32.319
 they come

00:33:32.319 --> 00:33:32.899
 to mind,

00:33:33.079 --> 00:33:33.639
 but be

00:33:33.639 --> 00:33:34.480
 glad and

00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:35.000
 rejoice

00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:36.039
 forever in

00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:36.599
 what I

00:33:36.599 --> 00:33:37.379
 will create,

00:33:37.659 --> 00:33:38.299
 for I will

00:33:38.299 --> 00:33:39.519
 create Jerusalem

00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:40.119
 to be a

00:33:40.119 --> 00:33:40.500
 delight,

00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:41.200
 and its

00:33:41.200 --> 00:33:41.839
 people a

00:33:41.839 --> 00:33:42.139
 joy.

00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:42.859
 I will

00:33:42.859 --> 00:33:43.799
 rejoice over

00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:44.539
 Jerusalem and

00:33:44.539 --> 00:33:45.359
 take delight in

00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:45.900
 my people,

00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:46.539
 and the

00:33:46.539 --> 00:33:47.139
 sound of

00:33:47.139 --> 00:33:48.139
 weeping and

00:33:48.139 --> 00:33:48.940
 of crying

00:33:48.940 --> 00:33:50.039
 will be heard

00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:50.579
 in it no

00:33:50.579 --> 00:33:50.900
 more.

00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:52.099
 Never again

00:33:52.099 --> 00:33:52.720
 will there be

00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:53.160
 in it an

00:33:53.160 --> 00:33:53.700
 infant who

00:33:53.700 --> 00:33:54.400
 lives but a

00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:55.240
 few days,

00:33:55.980 --> 00:33:56.740
 or an old

00:33:56.740 --> 00:33:57.259
 man who

00:33:57.259 --> 00:33:57.879
 does not

00:33:57.879 --> 00:33:58.740
 live out his

00:33:58.740 --> 00:33:59.279
 years.

00:34:00.299 --> 00:34:00.720
 In other

00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:01.339
 words, no

00:34:01.339 --> 00:34:02.039
 more suffering,

00:34:02.940 --> 00:34:03.500
 no more

00:34:03.500 --> 00:34:03.940
 death,

00:34:04.740 --> 00:34:05.319
 no more

00:34:05.319 --> 00:34:06.059
 heartache,

00:34:06.680 --> 00:34:07.339
 no more

00:34:07.339 --> 00:34:07.819
 pain.

00:34:07.819 --> 00:34:09.639
 verse 25,

00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:11.659
 the wolf

00:34:11.659 --> 00:34:12.880
 and the

00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:13.239
 lamb

00:34:13.239 --> 00:34:15.420
 will feed

00:34:15.420 --> 00:34:15.980
 together,

00:34:16.980 --> 00:34:18.000
 and the

00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:18.579
 lion will

00:34:18.579 --> 00:34:19.380
 eat straw

00:34:19.380 --> 00:34:20.000
 like the

00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:20.500
 ox,

00:34:21.420 --> 00:34:22.579
 but dust

00:34:22.579 --> 00:34:23.319
 will be the

00:34:23.319 --> 00:34:23.880
 serpent's

00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:24.259
 food.

00:34:25.319 --> 00:34:25.759
 They will

00:34:25.759 --> 00:34:26.679
 neither harm

00:34:26.679 --> 00:34:27.960
 nor destroy

00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:29.559
 on all my

00:34:29.559 --> 00:34:30.420
 holy mountain.

00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:32.099
 A picture

00:34:32.099 --> 00:34:33.860
 of perfection,

00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:35.380
 of harmony,

00:34:35.380 --> 00:34:36.820
 and of beauty,

00:34:37.340 --> 00:34:37.700
 and the

00:34:37.700 --> 00:34:38.480
 world put

00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:39.579
 right again.

00:34:39.960 --> 00:34:41.579
 Grace in

00:34:41.579 --> 00:34:42.000
 all its

00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:42.360
 fullness,

00:34:43.240 --> 00:34:43.680
 with the

00:34:43.680 --> 00:34:44.559
 spirit-filled

00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:45.700
 servant ruling

00:34:45.700 --> 00:34:46.440
 and reigning

00:34:46.440 --> 00:34:47.780
 over all.

00:34:48.720 --> 00:34:49.420
 Amazing

00:34:49.420 --> 00:34:50.039
 grace.

00:34:51.320 --> 00:34:52.019
 The goodness

00:34:52.019 --> 00:34:53.000
 and kindness

00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:53.700
 of God

00:34:53.700 --> 00:34:55.019
 in all its

00:34:55.019 --> 00:34:55.460
 fullness,

00:34:55.900 --> 00:34:57.079
 experienced for

00:34:57.079 --> 00:34:58.380
 all eternity.

00:34:58.380 --> 00:34:58.519
 humanity.

00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:01.480
 This is the

00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:02.180
 God who has

00:35:02.180 --> 00:35:02.940
 come to us

00:35:02.940 --> 00:35:03.640
 in Christ,

00:35:04.440 --> 00:35:05.340
 not just a

00:35:05.340 --> 00:35:05.660
 baby,

00:35:06.660 --> 00:35:07.320
 but the

00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:08.519
 spirit-filled

00:35:08.519 --> 00:35:09.300
 servant,

00:35:10.340 --> 00:35:11.420
 the one with

00:35:11.420 --> 00:35:12.400
 the power of

00:35:12.400 --> 00:35:14.000
 God to

00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:14.820
 bring justice

00:35:14.820 --> 00:35:15.500
 to our

00:35:15.500 --> 00:35:16.240
 disordered

00:35:16.240 --> 00:35:16.780
 world,

00:35:17.720 --> 00:35:18.720
 and grace

00:35:18.720 --> 00:35:20.320
 into our

00:35:20.320 --> 00:35:21.280
 broken lives.

00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:24.320
 Let's pray

00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:25.119
 together.

00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:39.460
 Father,

00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:40.179
 we long

00:35:40.179 --> 00:35:42.859
 for justice

00:35:42.859 --> 00:35:43.739
 to be done,

00:35:44.739 --> 00:35:46.779
 and we

00:35:46.779 --> 00:35:47.339
 thank you

00:35:47.339 --> 00:35:47.859
 that when

00:35:47.859 --> 00:35:48.079
 we've been

00:35:48.079 --> 00:35:48.779
 punished,

00:35:51.179 --> 00:35:52.559
 but because

00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:52.940
 of your
