WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.459
 Well, good morning, team.

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:16.059
 Last time we considered together the call of Christ to Simon, to put out into the deep

00:00:16.059 --> 00:00:24.980
 how it came to him, what Simon needed to overcome to answer it, and what came of it.

00:00:24.980 --> 00:00:32.000
 And this morning we want to take up the course that this calling sets us upon.

00:00:32.899 --> 00:00:34.380
 What is its nature?

00:00:35.539 --> 00:00:41.820
 What is the shape of the path which shapes us as disciples?

00:00:43.260 --> 00:00:51.920
 And likely it's true at all times, but it seems dramatically true in our own time that

00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:57.760
 we are in need of a refresher as to our course as disciples.

00:00:59.939 --> 00:01:09.040
 Let's recognize right out of the gate, it's really hard to stay on course in our calling.

00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:19.320
 To put it another way, it is not an easy task faithfully to fulfill Christ's charge to be

00:01:19.320 --> 00:01:22.940
 in the world, but not of it.

00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:37.020
 There is such a natural inveterate tendency, I certainly find it in myself, chameleon-like,

00:01:37.019 --> 00:01:48.099
 to take on the color of my context, to conform to my surroundings, to assimilate the character

00:01:48.099 --> 00:01:49.039
 of my setting.

00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:54.959
 Now it's not typically deliberate or even conscious on my part.

00:01:56.019 --> 00:01:58.959
 I'm going to absorb a worldly perspective.

00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:02.899
 I'm going to contract a worldly character.

00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:03.839
 Here I go.

00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:09.599
 No, it's more like swimming around in the ocean.

00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:10.959
 I wonder if you've done this.

00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:19.759
 And discovering that unwittingly I have been taken quite a ways down the beach by the current.

00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:26.479
 But, Paul likens it to taking on the shape of the world's mold.

00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:32.019
 Like jello conforming to the shape of the bowl.

00:02:33.399 --> 00:02:40.299
 Don't let the world squeeze you into its mold, he exhorts in Romans 12.

00:02:40.300 --> 00:02:42.939
 And it happens to all of us.

00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.960
 And it was happening to the young Corinthian church.

00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:54.040
 Even on the fundamental issue of what it means to be Christ's disciple,

00:02:54.640 --> 00:03:00.540
 their culture had tugged the Corinthians quite a ways down the beach.

00:03:00.539 --> 00:03:05.500
 And Paul writes to help them find their way back to their towels.

00:03:06.500 --> 00:03:10.620
 Reminding them what it means to follow Christ.

00:03:11.959 --> 00:03:18.699
 And I find that I am just as much in need of such a reminder as the Corinthians were.

00:03:20.659 --> 00:03:25.039
 So our question for this morning, and of our text,

00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:33.719
 is what does it mean to follow Christ in terms of the course that it puts us on?

00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:42.439
 And I want to answer this critical question by turning to a text in 2 Corinthians.

00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:48.459
 2 Corinthians 4, and I'll be picking up in verse 7.

00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:52.419
 So if you have your Bibles, you might want to turn there.

00:03:52.419 --> 00:03:55.280
 I'll try to tether my remarks to the text.

00:03:55.839 --> 00:03:58.119
 Let me read the passage for us.

00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:03.719
 So 2 Corinthians 4, beginning in verse 7.

00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:12.500
 But we have this treasure in jars of clay

00:04:12.500 --> 00:04:20.019
 to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.

00:04:20.019 --> 00:04:24.979
 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed.

00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:29.719
 Perplexed, but not driven to despair.

00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:34.039
 Persecuted, but not forsaken.

00:04:34.799 --> 00:04:37.939
 Struck down, but not destroyed.

00:04:39.060 --> 00:04:43.539
 Always carrying in the body the death of Jesus,

00:04:43.939 --> 00:04:48.799
 so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.

00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:57.720
 For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake,

00:04:58.060 --> 00:05:04.240
 so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

00:05:05.699 --> 00:05:12.300
 So death works, is at work in us, but life in you.

00:05:12.300 --> 00:05:17.780
 Since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what has been written,

00:05:17.939 --> 00:05:19.639
 I believed, and so I spoke.

00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:22.340
 We also believe, and so we also speak,

00:05:23.060 --> 00:05:26.000
 knowing that he who raised our Lord Jesus

00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:29.340
 will raise us also with Jesus

00:05:29.340 --> 00:05:33.259
 and bring us with you into his presence.

00:05:33.259 --> 00:05:36.759
 For it is all for your sake,

00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:41.920
 so that as grace extends to more and more people,

00:05:42.259 --> 00:05:46.339
 it may increase thanksgiving to the glory of God.

00:05:47.180 --> 00:05:51.000
 So, we do not lose heart.

00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:54.399
 Though our outer self is wasting away,

00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:58.459
 our inner self is being renewed day by day.

00:05:58.459 --> 00:06:03.079
 For this light, momentary affliction

00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:07.659
 is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory

00:06:07.659 --> 00:06:09.719
 beyond all comparison.

00:06:10.719 --> 00:06:14.719
 As we look not to the things that are seen,

00:06:15.259 --> 00:06:17.599
 but to the things that are unseen.

00:06:18.599 --> 00:06:22.359
 For the things that are seen are transient,

00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:27.840
 but the things that are unseen are eternal.

00:06:29.520 --> 00:06:30.340
 Let's pray.

00:06:31.980 --> 00:06:35.180
 Father, we thank you for your word,

00:06:35.280 --> 00:06:37.439
 your living word, Jesus Christ,

00:06:37.980 --> 00:06:41.639
 and how he is presented to us in your written word,

00:06:41.740 --> 00:06:44.460
 the scriptures here open before us.

00:06:44.520 --> 00:06:47.920
 And thank you that in searching them out to find Christ,

00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:50.819
 you have not left us to our own devices,

00:06:50.819 --> 00:06:53.879
 but has given us the very spirit of Christ

00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:55.079
 in dwelling within us,

00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:58.259
 to illuminate Christ himself,

00:06:58.939 --> 00:07:00.699
 and make him shine before us,

00:07:01.099 --> 00:07:04.040
 that we might be transformed increasingly into his image,

00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:06.519
 to your great delight and glory.

00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:07.879
 In Jesus' name.

00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:08.879
 Amen.

00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:09.839
 Amen.

00:07:12.219 --> 00:07:15.659
 So, what is the calling of the disciple?

00:07:15.660 --> 00:07:18.860
 Well, leaping right in,

00:07:19.460 --> 00:07:21.580
 I want to assert

00:07:21.580 --> 00:07:24.220
 that it is first

00:07:24.220 --> 00:07:26.100
 a call

00:07:26.100 --> 00:07:29.380
 to experience death.

00:07:29.980 --> 00:07:32.379
 A call to experience death.

00:07:32.640 --> 00:07:34.540
 And this may sound jarring,

00:07:35.020 --> 00:07:36.620
 perhaps exaggerated,

00:07:37.580 --> 00:07:38.560
 somewhat extreme,

00:07:38.940 --> 00:07:40.540
 but I assure you

00:07:40.540 --> 00:07:43.900
 it is no attempt at rhetorical inflation.

00:07:43.899 --> 00:07:46.000
 It is rather,

00:07:46.579 --> 00:07:47.299
 it seems,

00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:50.060
 the frank testimony of the apostle.

00:07:51.259 --> 00:07:52.779
 Take a look at it with me.

00:07:53.599 --> 00:07:56.099
 As he states in verse 11,

00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.739
 here we're in 2 Corinthians chapter 4,

00:08:00.159 --> 00:08:00.399
 okay,

00:08:01.099 --> 00:08:02.279
 that's there at verse 11.

00:08:02.739 --> 00:08:03.139
 He writes,

00:08:04.019 --> 00:08:05.000
 for we who live,

00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:07.899
 that is we who have been made spiritually alive

00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:10.079
 by Christ through the gospel,

00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:12.319
 for we who live,

00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.599
 have we been made spiritually alive?

00:08:16.859 --> 00:08:18.139
 Then this refers to us,

00:08:18.500 --> 00:08:18.779
 okay?

00:08:19.219 --> 00:08:20.279
 For we who live

00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:21.979
 are constantly

00:08:21.979 --> 00:08:25.259
 being delivered over to death

00:08:25.259 --> 00:08:27.639
 for Jesus' sake.

00:08:29.819 --> 00:08:32.500
 Neither is this experience of death

00:08:32.500 --> 00:08:33.579
 a fluke

00:08:33.579 --> 00:08:35.639
 or a random matter.

00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:38.919
 doesn't just happen to be the case,

00:08:39.059 --> 00:08:39.740
 coincidentally.

00:08:40.939 --> 00:08:42.399
 No, it's by design

00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:43.980
 and none other than

00:08:43.980 --> 00:08:45.840
 divine design.

00:08:46.199 --> 00:08:46.620
 Notice

00:08:46.620 --> 00:08:48.379
 what theologians call

00:08:48.379 --> 00:08:49.199
 or exegetes call

00:08:49.199 --> 00:08:50.740
 the divine passive.

00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:53.179
 Being delivered.

00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:54.179
 Being delivered.

00:08:54.319 --> 00:08:55.620
 Indicated that it is,

00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:57.120
 indicating that it is God

00:08:57.120 --> 00:08:58.240
 who actually

00:08:58.240 --> 00:08:59.740
 delivers us

00:08:59.740 --> 00:09:00.399
 over

00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:01.659
 to death.

00:09:01.659 --> 00:09:01.740
 death.

00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:05.959
 So this is God's game plan

00:09:05.959 --> 00:09:06.779
 for the disciple.

00:09:07.819 --> 00:09:09.779
 The sovereignly appointed path

00:09:09.779 --> 00:09:11.339
 for the follower of Christ.

00:09:14.079 --> 00:09:15.419
 What is this

00:09:15.419 --> 00:09:16.240
 death

00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:18.159
 to which the disciple

00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:19.459
 is being

00:09:19.459 --> 00:09:20.339
 delivered

00:09:20.339 --> 00:09:21.159
 to?

00:09:22.100 --> 00:09:22.459
 Well,

00:09:22.579 --> 00:09:23.000
 notice

00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:24.139
 that it is something

00:09:24.139 --> 00:09:25.500
 that transpires

00:09:25.500 --> 00:09:27.000
 constantly.

00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:31.559
 Again,

00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:32.299
 verse 11.

00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:34.019
 This death

00:09:34.019 --> 00:09:35.340
 is always

00:09:35.340 --> 00:09:36.019
 happening

00:09:36.019 --> 00:09:37.620
 to the disciple.

00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:38.919
 Indeed,

00:09:39.019 --> 00:09:39.559
 to underscore

00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:41.419
 the ongoing nature

00:09:41.419 --> 00:09:42.600
 of this experience

00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:43.240
 of death,

00:09:43.779 --> 00:09:44.759
 Paul elucidates

00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:45.700
 verse 10

00:09:45.700 --> 00:09:46.059
 there

00:09:46.059 --> 00:09:47.120
 with a word

00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:48.100
 that conveys

00:09:48.100 --> 00:09:48.700
 the notion

00:09:48.700 --> 00:09:50.220
 of a perpetual

00:09:50.220 --> 00:09:51.059
 process.

00:09:53.019 --> 00:09:53.200
 Now,

00:09:53.220 --> 00:09:54.080
 not all translations

00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:54.980
 reflect this,

00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:56.220
 but we would better

00:09:56.220 --> 00:09:57.279
 have

00:09:57.279 --> 00:09:58.399
 dying.

00:09:58.840 --> 00:09:59.740
 Better reflects

00:09:59.740 --> 00:10:00.440
 the Greek here.

00:10:00.660 --> 00:10:01.139
 Dying

00:10:01.139 --> 00:10:02.040
 as distinct

00:10:02.040 --> 00:10:02.720
 from simply

00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:03.580
 death.

00:10:04.379 --> 00:10:05.019
 Caring about

00:10:05.019 --> 00:10:05.580
 in the body

00:10:05.580 --> 00:10:06.860
 the dying

00:10:06.860 --> 00:10:08.920
 of Jesus.

00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:10.139
 And again,

00:10:10.220 --> 00:10:10.800
 worth marking

00:10:10.800 --> 00:10:11.960
 always,

00:10:12.779 --> 00:10:13.680
 always.

00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:15.320
 Not occasionally

00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:16.620
 or under extreme

00:10:16.620 --> 00:10:17.399
 circumstances,

00:10:17.940 --> 00:10:19.080
 rather always.

00:10:20.560 --> 00:10:21.220
 So,

00:10:21.820 --> 00:10:22.720
 the disciple

00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:24.180
 carries about

00:10:24.180 --> 00:10:25.139
 in the body

00:10:25.139 --> 00:10:27.019
 the dying

00:10:27.019 --> 00:10:27.759
 of Jesus.

00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:30.019
 Have you

00:10:30.019 --> 00:10:31.319
 tended to think

00:10:31.319 --> 00:10:31.819
 of your life

00:10:31.819 --> 00:10:32.500
 in those terms?

00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:35.199
 So,

00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:35.879
 what do you do

00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:36.899
 if someone asks you?

00:10:38.100 --> 00:10:39.259
 I carry around

00:10:39.259 --> 00:10:39.860
 in my body

00:10:39.860 --> 00:10:40.439
 the dying

00:10:40.439 --> 00:10:41.019
 of Jesus.

00:10:42.379 --> 00:10:42.879
 Well,

00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:43.559
 what does it

00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:44.279
 mean?

00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:45.059
 What does it

00:10:45.059 --> 00:10:45.439
 mean?

00:10:45.860 --> 00:10:46.360
 Well,

00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:47.639
 what was

00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:48.639
 the dying

00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:49.740
 of Jesus?

00:10:49.740 --> 00:10:49.980
 Jesus?

00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:51.500
 Well,

00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:52.500
 not simply

00:10:52.500 --> 00:10:53.000
 his death

00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:53.960
 upon the cross,

00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:55.240
 though that was

00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:56.659
 surely the culmination

00:10:56.659 --> 00:10:57.259
 of it.

00:10:58.139 --> 00:10:58.680
 Rather,

00:10:58.879 --> 00:10:59.460
 it was

00:10:59.460 --> 00:11:00.440
 the whole

00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:01.279
 sweep of

00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:02.019
 his life

00:11:02.019 --> 00:11:04.180
 from Galilee

00:11:04.180 --> 00:11:06.000
 to Galgotha

00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:07.120
 with

00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:08.299
 Gethsemane

00:11:08.299 --> 00:11:09.779
 summing it up.

00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:11.220
 Not

00:11:11.220 --> 00:11:12.299
 my will,

00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:13.399
 but

00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:13.899
 thine.

00:11:13.899 --> 00:11:15.980
 the dying

00:11:15.980 --> 00:11:16.779
 of Jesus

00:11:16.779 --> 00:11:18.179
 was the

00:11:18.179 --> 00:11:19.360
 unrelieved

00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:20.279
 dying

00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:21.399
 to self,

00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:23.459
 the utter

00:11:23.459 --> 00:11:25.559
 and unbroken

00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:26.639
 submission

00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:28.139
 of his

00:11:28.139 --> 00:11:28.759
 will

00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:29.860
 to that

00:11:29.860 --> 00:11:30.179
 of the

00:11:30.179 --> 00:11:30.559
 Father,

00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:32.259
 and the

00:11:32.259 --> 00:11:33.139
 unabating

00:11:33.139 --> 00:11:34.100
 effect

00:11:34.100 --> 00:11:35.740
 upon body

00:11:35.740 --> 00:11:36.340
 and soul

00:11:36.340 --> 00:11:37.679
 of that

00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:39.279
 unwavering

00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:40.139
 devotion.

00:11:40.139 --> 00:11:42.399
 the hunger,

00:11:43.019 --> 00:11:44.360
 the thirst,

00:11:45.340 --> 00:11:46.460
 the weariness,

00:11:47.419 --> 00:11:48.699
 the homelessness,

00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:52.080
 the abandonment,

00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:54.139
 the betrayal,

00:11:54.659 --> 00:11:55.179
 the false

00:11:55.179 --> 00:11:56.000
 accusations,

00:11:57.039 --> 00:11:57.580
 the flung

00:11:57.580 --> 00:11:58.259
 taunts,

00:11:59.259 --> 00:11:59.819
 the torn

00:11:59.819 --> 00:12:00.559
 flesh,

00:12:01.220 --> 00:12:01.840
 and the

00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:02.500
 cry of

00:12:02.500 --> 00:12:03.080
 dereliction

00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:03.539
 from the

00:12:03.539 --> 00:12:04.019
 cross.

00:12:05.299 --> 00:12:06.019
 The

00:12:06.019 --> 00:12:06.639
 dying

00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:07.519
 of Jesus

00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:09.439
 was all

00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:10.220
 that it

00:12:10.220 --> 00:12:11.020
 cost him

00:12:11.020 --> 00:12:12.820
 to stay

00:12:12.820 --> 00:12:13.740
 the course

00:12:13.740 --> 00:12:14.440
 of the

00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:14.940
 will of

00:12:14.940 --> 00:12:15.100
 the

00:12:15.100 --> 00:12:15.540
 Father

00:12:15.540 --> 00:12:16.780
 to

00:12:16.780 --> 00:12:17.180
 and

00:12:17.180 --> 00:12:17.680
 through

00:12:17.680 --> 00:12:18.600
 the

00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:18.860
 bitter

00:12:18.860 --> 00:12:19.420
 end.

00:12:21.420 --> 00:12:22.320
 What

00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:22.960
 then

00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:24.020
 is it

00:12:24.020 --> 00:12:25.140
 for the

00:12:25.140 --> 00:12:26.060
 disciple

00:12:26.060 --> 00:12:27.960
 to carry

00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:28.440
 about in

00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:28.920
 the body

00:12:28.920 --> 00:12:30.100
 the

00:12:30.100 --> 00:12:30.440
 dying

00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:30.620
 of

00:12:30.620 --> 00:12:30.940
 Jesus?

00:12:32.560 --> 00:12:33.740
 It is

00:12:33.740 --> 00:12:34.680
 the same

00:12:34.680 --> 00:12:35.980
 unrelieved

00:12:35.980 --> 00:12:36.680
 dying

00:12:36.680 --> 00:12:37.500
 to self

00:12:37.500 --> 00:12:39.440
 to stay

00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:40.139
 the course

00:12:40.139 --> 00:12:40.440
 of the

00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:40.919
 Father's

00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:41.220
 will

00:12:41.220 --> 00:12:43.980
 and all

00:12:43.980 --> 00:12:45.159
 the cost

00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:45.879
 to body

00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:46.460
 and soul

00:12:46.460 --> 00:12:47.980
 of never

00:12:47.980 --> 00:12:49.360
 wavering.

00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:51.919
 It is

00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:52.519
 as it

00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:53.100
 was for

00:12:53.100 --> 00:12:53.659
 Jesus,

00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:55.799
 a martyrdom

00:12:55.799 --> 00:12:57.059
 not confined

00:12:57.059 --> 00:12:57.600
 to the hour

00:12:57.600 --> 00:12:58.279
 of death,

00:12:58.860 --> 00:13:00.039
 but lifelong

00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:02.779
 of spending

00:13:02.779 --> 00:13:04.399
 and being

00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:05.059
 spent,

00:13:05.179 --> 00:13:05.860
 as Paul writes

00:13:05.860 --> 00:13:06.620
 in 2 Corinthians

00:13:06.620 --> 00:13:07.159
 12,

00:13:07.700 --> 00:13:08.460
 of pouring

00:13:08.460 --> 00:13:09.840
 oneself out

00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:11.500
 as a

00:13:11.500 --> 00:13:12.320
 sacrifice,

00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:13.600
 Philippians

00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:13.940
 2.

00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:15.799
 I die

00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:16.779
 daily,

00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:18.100
 says Paul,

00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:19.399
 1 Corinthians

00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:20.060
 15.

00:13:21.659 --> 00:13:22.740
 So the

00:13:22.740 --> 00:13:23.340
 shape

00:13:23.340 --> 00:13:23.899
 of

00:13:23.899 --> 00:13:25.060
 discipleship

00:13:25.060 --> 00:13:26.820
 is

00:13:26.820 --> 00:13:27.720
 daily

00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:28.539
 dying,

00:13:29.539 --> 00:13:29.960
 the

00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:30.600
 steady

00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:31.419
 cost

00:13:31.419 --> 00:13:32.659
 of

00:13:32.659 --> 00:13:33.080
 staying

00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:33.340
 the

00:13:33.340 --> 00:13:33.779
 course.

00:13:33.779 --> 00:13:33.899
 life.

00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:36.100
 But

00:13:36.100 --> 00:13:36.819
 dying

00:13:36.819 --> 00:13:37.299
 in

00:13:37.299 --> 00:13:37.899
 the

00:13:37.899 --> 00:13:38.439
 interest

00:13:38.439 --> 00:13:39.000
 of

00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:39.339
 what?

00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:41.279
 Embracing

00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:42.000
 the

00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:42.319
 steady

00:13:42.319 --> 00:13:42.779
 cost

00:13:42.779 --> 00:13:42.959
 of

00:13:42.959 --> 00:13:43.419
 staying

00:13:43.419 --> 00:13:43.639
 which

00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:44.079
 course?

00:13:45.259 --> 00:13:45.639
 Well,

00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:46.679
 verse 12

00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:47.579
 gives us

00:13:47.579 --> 00:13:48.159
 the answer.

00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:50.120
 You see it?

00:13:51.539 --> 00:13:52.439
 So death

00:13:52.439 --> 00:13:53.259
 works in

00:13:53.259 --> 00:13:53.919
 us,

00:13:54.620 --> 00:13:55.799
 but life

00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:56.379
 in you.

00:13:58.079 --> 00:13:59.019
 The death

00:13:59.019 --> 00:13:59.639
 that is

00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:00.860
 working out

00:14:00.860 --> 00:14:01.860
 in Paul's

00:14:01.860 --> 00:14:02.460
 life

00:14:02.460 --> 00:14:03.399
 has the

00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:03.899
 correlate

00:14:03.899 --> 00:14:06.139
 of life

00:14:06.139 --> 00:14:07.360
 working in

00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:07.539
 the

00:14:07.539 --> 00:14:08.080
 Corinthians.

00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:10.480
 Well,

00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:10.980
 how is this

00:14:10.980 --> 00:14:11.300
 so?

00:14:12.500 --> 00:14:13.039
 Well,

00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:14.080
 the suffering

00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:15.039
 that Paul

00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:15.840
 has endured

00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:17.080
 has been

00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:17.980
 the hardship

00:14:17.980 --> 00:14:19.539
 of body

00:14:19.539 --> 00:14:20.039
 and soul

00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:20.879
 required to

00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:21.500
 deliver,

00:14:22.460 --> 00:14:23.480
 to declare,

00:14:23.980 --> 00:14:24.460
 and to

00:14:24.460 --> 00:14:25.560
 display the

00:14:25.560 --> 00:14:26.180
 gospel

00:14:26.179 --> 00:14:27.319
 to the

00:14:27.319 --> 00:14:27.899
 Corinthians,

00:14:28.719 --> 00:14:29.919
 which has

00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:30.599
 brought them

00:14:30.599 --> 00:14:31.359
 new life

00:14:31.359 --> 00:14:32.139
 in Christ.

00:14:33.500 --> 00:14:34.579
 So death

00:14:34.579 --> 00:14:35.139
 works in

00:14:35.139 --> 00:14:35.539
 me,

00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:36.899
 says Paul,

00:14:37.299 --> 00:14:38.279
 but life

00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:39.819
 in you.

00:14:41.079 --> 00:14:41.739
 Spiritual

00:14:41.739 --> 00:14:43.059
 life for

00:14:43.059 --> 00:14:43.259
 the

00:14:43.259 --> 00:14:43.839
 Corinthians

00:14:43.839 --> 00:14:45.899
 has had

00:14:45.899 --> 00:14:46.779
 its cost.

00:14:47.779 --> 00:14:48.419
 It has

00:14:48.419 --> 00:14:49.399
 cost the

00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:50.039
 apostle

00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:51.559
 the pouring

00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:52.099
 out of

00:14:52.099 --> 00:14:52.879
 his life.

00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:55.519
 concretely,

00:14:56.340 --> 00:14:57.159
 to take

00:14:57.159 --> 00:14:57.879
 a quick

00:14:57.879 --> 00:14:58.720
 tally,

00:14:58.919 --> 00:14:59.279
 as he

00:14:59.279 --> 00:14:59.799
 does in

00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:00.539
 chapter 11,

00:15:01.259 --> 00:15:01.600
 it has

00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:02.179
 cost

00:15:02.179 --> 00:15:04.059
 beatings

00:15:04.059 --> 00:15:04.399
 times

00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:04.759
 without

00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:05.200
 number,

00:15:06.059 --> 00:15:06.580
 thrice

00:15:06.580 --> 00:15:07.639
 39 lashes,

00:15:08.059 --> 00:15:08.960
 being stoned

00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:09.939
 and shipwrecked,

00:15:10.179 --> 00:15:10.700
 dangers

00:15:10.700 --> 00:15:11.559
 from rivers,

00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:12.299
 robbers,

00:15:12.439 --> 00:15:13.179
 and rogues,

00:15:13.620 --> 00:15:14.159
 sleepless

00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:14.759
 nights,

00:15:15.220 --> 00:15:15.720
 hunger,

00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:16.740
 thirst,

00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:18.120
 cold,

00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:19.259
 and exposure.

00:15:20.820 --> 00:15:21.879
 And that's

00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:22.340
 simply to

00:15:22.340 --> 00:15:22.799
 mention the

00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:23.379
 physical

00:15:23.379 --> 00:15:23.879
 side of

00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:24.459
 the cost,

00:15:25.079 --> 00:15:25.439
 the more

00:15:25.439 --> 00:15:26.399
 harrowing

00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:27.459
 actually being

00:15:27.459 --> 00:15:28.099
 the emotional

00:15:28.099 --> 00:15:28.500
 burden.

00:15:30.259 --> 00:15:31.199
 But as he

00:15:31.199 --> 00:15:31.859
 urged his

00:15:31.859 --> 00:15:32.379
 disciple

00:15:32.379 --> 00:15:32.899
 Timothy,

00:15:33.899 --> 00:15:34.839
 I endure

00:15:34.839 --> 00:15:36.059
 all things

00:15:36.059 --> 00:15:37.159
 for the

00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:37.839
 sake of

00:15:37.839 --> 00:15:38.459
 those who

00:15:38.459 --> 00:15:39.059
 are chosen,

00:15:39.719 --> 00:15:40.579
 that they

00:15:40.579 --> 00:15:41.599
 may obtain

00:15:41.599 --> 00:15:42.459
 the salvation

00:15:42.459 --> 00:15:43.139
 which is in

00:15:43.139 --> 00:15:43.839
 Christ Jesus,

00:15:44.539 --> 00:15:45.419
 and with it

00:15:45.419 --> 00:15:47.079
 eternal glory.

00:15:47.859 --> 00:15:48.559
 2 Timothy

00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:49.179
 2.10.

00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:51.259
 Or as he

00:15:51.259 --> 00:15:51.839
 states in our

00:15:51.839 --> 00:15:52.259
 passage,

00:15:52.259 --> 00:15:53.120
 verse 15,

00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:54.759
 for all

00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:55.840
 things are

00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:56.480
 for your

00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:57.120
 sakes.

00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:00.500
 The suffering

00:16:00.500 --> 00:16:01.600
 is simply

00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:02.319
 the cost,

00:16:02.419 --> 00:16:03.220
 as he puts it

00:16:03.220 --> 00:16:03.779
 again in

00:16:03.779 --> 00:16:05.100
 verse 15,

00:16:05.340 --> 00:16:06.500
 of grace

00:16:06.500 --> 00:16:07.939
 spreading

00:16:07.939 --> 00:16:09.639
 to more

00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:10.519
 and more

00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:11.120
 people.

00:16:12.700 --> 00:16:13.299
 And there is

00:16:13.299 --> 00:16:13.720
 often

00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:15.439
 great cost

00:16:15.439 --> 00:16:16.799
 involved

00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:17.959
 in this

00:16:17.959 --> 00:16:19.620
 great cause.

00:16:19.620 --> 00:16:21.919
 As Jesus

00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:24.259
 would put it,

00:16:25.259 --> 00:16:26.079
 unless a grain

00:16:26.079 --> 00:16:26.539
 of wheat

00:16:26.539 --> 00:16:27.339
 falls to the

00:16:27.339 --> 00:16:27.779
 ground

00:16:27.779 --> 00:16:29.459
 and dies,

00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:30.979
 it remains

00:16:30.979 --> 00:16:31.359
 alone.

00:16:32.139 --> 00:16:32.899
 But if it

00:16:32.899 --> 00:16:33.639
 dies,

00:16:34.379 --> 00:16:36.740
 it bears

00:16:36.740 --> 00:16:37.399
 much fruit.

00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:40.240
 so,

00:16:40.779 --> 00:16:43.019
 the dying

00:16:43.019 --> 00:16:43.740
 that marks

00:16:43.740 --> 00:16:44.360
 the path

00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:44.620
 of the

00:16:44.620 --> 00:16:45.179
 disciple,

00:16:46.939 --> 00:16:47.699
 the suffering

00:16:47.699 --> 00:16:48.279
 Paul is

00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:48.899
 talking about

00:16:48.899 --> 00:16:49.419
 here,

00:16:49.939 --> 00:16:51.699
 has here

00:16:51.699 --> 00:16:52.980
 an accent

00:16:52.980 --> 00:16:53.759
 that falls

00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:55.279
 upon a

00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:56.159
 specific

00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:57.439
 suffering.

00:16:57.440 --> 00:16:57.520
 suffering.

00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:00.080
 We might

00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:01.220
 aptly call it

00:17:01.220 --> 00:17:02.580
 missional

00:17:02.580 --> 00:17:04.140
 sufferings,

00:17:04.660 --> 00:17:05.840
 for it is

00:17:05.840 --> 00:17:06.620
 the suffering

00:17:06.620 --> 00:17:08.120
 sustained in

00:17:08.120 --> 00:17:08.820
 the work of

00:17:08.820 --> 00:17:09.480
 witness.

00:17:10.620 --> 00:17:11.779
 To carry

00:17:11.779 --> 00:17:12.299
 about in

00:17:12.299 --> 00:17:13.080
 our bodies

00:17:13.080 --> 00:17:14.720
 the dying

00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:15.840
 of Jesus

00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:17.220
 here

00:17:17.220 --> 00:17:18.220
 involves

00:17:18.220 --> 00:17:19.139
 the

00:17:19.139 --> 00:17:20.279
 mortification

00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:21.419
 of

00:17:21.419 --> 00:17:22.119
 mission.

00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:28.339
 It is

00:17:28.339 --> 00:17:29.059
 the pain

00:17:29.059 --> 00:17:30.259
 and travail

00:17:30.259 --> 00:17:31.799
 of making

00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:32.339
 Christ

00:17:32.339 --> 00:17:32.839
 known.

00:17:35.299 --> 00:17:36.639
 It is

00:17:36.639 --> 00:17:37.199
 a call

00:17:37.199 --> 00:17:37.919
 to endure

00:17:37.919 --> 00:17:39.519
 in that

00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:40.679
 endeavor.

00:17:43.679 --> 00:17:44.799
 Now,

00:17:44.919 --> 00:17:45.439
 I believe

00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:45.779
 that the

00:17:45.779 --> 00:17:46.299
 affliction

00:17:46.299 --> 00:17:47.400
 the disciple

00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:47.820
 is called

00:17:47.820 --> 00:17:48.259
 to endure

00:17:48.259 --> 00:17:49.039
 is broader,

00:17:49.460 --> 00:17:49.779
 okay,

00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:50.340
 broader

00:17:50.340 --> 00:17:51.720
 than that

00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:52.500
 suffered in

00:17:52.500 --> 00:17:53.059
 bearing witness

00:17:53.059 --> 00:17:53.779
 to Christ,

00:17:54.539 --> 00:17:55.019
 faithfully

00:17:55.019 --> 00:17:56.340
 seeking to

00:17:56.340 --> 00:17:56.720
 bear his

00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:57.080
 image.

00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:00.519
 But this

00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:02.279
 is the

00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:02.880
 part that

00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:04.019
 the disciple

00:18:04.019 --> 00:18:05.019
 focuses upon

00:18:05.019 --> 00:18:05.299
 here.

00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:06.180
 So let's

00:18:06.180 --> 00:18:06.660
 for a moment

00:18:06.660 --> 00:18:07.779
 stick to

00:18:07.779 --> 00:18:08.519
 this passage

00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:09.080
 and this

00:18:09.080 --> 00:18:09.539
 accent.

00:18:10.900 --> 00:18:11.940
 At times,

00:18:12.080 --> 00:18:12.620
 Paul uses

00:18:12.620 --> 00:18:13.559
 what is

00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:14.240
 almost a

00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:14.740
 technical

00:18:14.740 --> 00:18:16.120
 term for

00:18:16.120 --> 00:18:16.480
 this

00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:17.480
 missional

00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:18.019
 suffering

00:18:18.019 --> 00:18:18.980
 as he

00:18:18.980 --> 00:18:19.500
 does in

00:18:19.500 --> 00:18:20.559
 chapter 1

00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:21.400
 verse 5

00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:21.960
 of this

00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:22.339
 book,

00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:23.500
 2 Corinthians,

00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:23.980
 where he

00:18:23.980 --> 00:18:24.339
 writes,

00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:25.900
 the sufferings

00:18:25.900 --> 00:18:27.099
 of Christ

00:18:27.099 --> 00:18:27.900
 or the

00:18:27.900 --> 00:18:28.620
 Messiah

00:18:28.620 --> 00:18:30.200
 are

00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:31.259
 ours in

00:18:31.259 --> 00:18:31.900
 abundance.

00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:33.660
 Now,

00:18:33.700 --> 00:18:34.319
 this notion

00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:35.140
 of the

00:18:35.140 --> 00:18:35.660
 sufferings

00:18:35.660 --> 00:18:35.880
 of the

00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:36.420
 Messiah

00:18:36.420 --> 00:18:38.420
 or the

00:18:38.420 --> 00:18:39.099
 messianic

00:18:39.099 --> 00:18:39.880
 woes,

00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:40.339
 as some

00:18:40.339 --> 00:18:40.839
 call it,

00:18:41.259 --> 00:18:41.720
 distilled

00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:42.100
 from the

00:18:42.100 --> 00:18:42.640
 Old Testament

00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:43.279
 prophets,

00:18:43.600 --> 00:18:44.079
 Isaiah,

00:18:44.299 --> 00:18:44.839
 Jeremiah,

00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:45.660
 Hosea,

00:18:46.180 --> 00:18:46.740
 and Micah,

00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:47.799
 and developed

00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:48.819
 by Jewish

00:18:48.819 --> 00:18:49.960
 teaching,

00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:52.339
 held that

00:18:52.339 --> 00:18:53.799
 the triumphal

00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:54.799
 messianic

00:18:54.799 --> 00:18:55.980
 age to

00:18:55.980 --> 00:18:57.500
 come would

00:18:57.500 --> 00:18:59.000
 be preceded

00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:00.600
 by woes

00:19:00.600 --> 00:19:02.380
 or intense

00:19:02.380 --> 00:19:03.259
 suffering,

00:19:04.420 --> 00:19:05.160
 akin to the

00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:05.880
 birth pangs

00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:06.940
 of a woman

00:19:06.940 --> 00:19:07.819
 in labor.

00:19:07.819 --> 00:19:10.220
 this

00:19:10.220 --> 00:19:11.019
 suffering,

00:19:11.139 --> 00:19:11.480
 and here's

00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:11.879
 the interesting

00:19:11.879 --> 00:19:12.339
 thing,

00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:13.679
 this suffering,

00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:14.579
 the messianic

00:19:14.579 --> 00:19:14.919
 woes,

00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:15.619
 would be

00:19:15.619 --> 00:19:16.019
 endured

00:19:16.019 --> 00:19:17.359
 not by

00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:18.200
 the Messiah

00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:19.299
 himself,

00:19:19.859 --> 00:19:21.720
 but rather

00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:22.740
 born by

00:19:22.740 --> 00:19:23.439
 those

00:19:23.439 --> 00:19:24.720
 associated

00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:25.519
 with him.

00:19:26.980 --> 00:19:27.480
 And the

00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:27.919
 New Testament

00:19:27.919 --> 00:19:28.960
 writers took

00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:29.519
 this up,

00:19:29.740 --> 00:19:30.419
 a suffering

00:19:30.419 --> 00:19:31.819
 intense,

00:19:32.619 --> 00:19:33.200
 but of

00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:34.019
 fixed duration

00:19:34.019 --> 00:19:34.619
 and even

00:19:34.619 --> 00:19:35.179
 a fixed

00:19:35.179 --> 00:19:36.039
 quantity,

00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:38.599
 that would

00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:38.980
 be the

00:19:38.980 --> 00:19:39.420
 lot of

00:19:39.420 --> 00:19:40.159
 Messiah's

00:19:40.159 --> 00:19:40.579
 people,

00:19:41.819 --> 00:19:42.799
 Christ's

00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:43.299
 disciples.

00:19:45.059 --> 00:19:45.700
 And they

00:19:45.700 --> 00:19:46.159
 held that

00:19:46.159 --> 00:19:47.279
 Christ's

00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:47.839
 death and

00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:48.440
 resurrection,

00:19:48.819 --> 00:19:49.579
 his ascension,

00:19:49.819 --> 00:19:50.319
 and then his

00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:51.460
 gifts of the

00:19:51.460 --> 00:19:52.859
 Spirit from

00:19:52.859 --> 00:19:53.740
 his ascended

00:19:53.740 --> 00:19:54.539
 right hand of

00:19:54.539 --> 00:19:55.019
 the Father

00:19:55.019 --> 00:19:56.359
 had inaugurated,

00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:57.079
 had begun,

00:19:57.460 --> 00:19:58.440
 the messianic

00:19:58.440 --> 00:19:59.099
 age.

00:19:59.940 --> 00:20:00.859
 And his

00:20:00.859 --> 00:20:01.559
 people,

00:20:02.139 --> 00:20:03.240
 living now in

00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:03.940
 the last

00:20:03.940 --> 00:20:04.740
 days,

00:20:04.740 --> 00:20:06.120
 were called

00:20:06.120 --> 00:20:07.259
 to endure

00:20:07.259 --> 00:20:09.599
 tribulation

00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:11.099
 in fulfillment

00:20:11.099 --> 00:20:11.480
 of the

00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:12.700
 scriptures and

00:20:12.700 --> 00:20:13.240
 in fulfillment

00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:13.720
 of Jesus'

00:20:13.980 --> 00:20:14.720
 own words

00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:16.700
 until the

00:20:16.700 --> 00:20:17.819
 full measure

00:20:17.819 --> 00:20:18.279
 of this

00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:19.259
 appointed

00:20:19.259 --> 00:20:20.460
 suffering was

00:20:20.460 --> 00:20:21.120
 complete

00:20:21.120 --> 00:20:22.640
 and Christ

00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:23.099
 returned.

00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:25.359
 So against

00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:26.380
 this conceptual

00:20:26.380 --> 00:20:26.900
 backdrop,

00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:28.299
 we understand

00:20:28.299 --> 00:20:28.880
 what Paul

00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:30.259
 means when

00:20:30.259 --> 00:20:30.680
 he tells

00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:30.859
 the

00:20:30.859 --> 00:20:31.579
 Colossians,

00:20:31.579 --> 00:20:32.720
 Colossians 1

00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:33.919
 24,

00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:36.399
 I do

00:20:36.399 --> 00:20:37.559
 my share

00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:38.879
 of filling

00:20:38.879 --> 00:20:40.000
 up what

00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:40.740
 is lacking

00:20:40.740 --> 00:20:41.939
 in Christ's

00:20:41.939 --> 00:20:42.599
 afflictions,

00:20:42.659 --> 00:20:42.839
 or the

00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:43.419
 Messiah's

00:20:43.419 --> 00:20:44.199
 afflictions.

00:20:45.339 --> 00:20:46.679
 He is

00:20:46.679 --> 00:20:47.599
 speaking of

00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:48.740
 these sufferings

00:20:48.740 --> 00:20:49.059
 of the

00:20:49.059 --> 00:20:49.619
 Messiah.

00:20:50.220 --> 00:20:50.859
 And notice,

00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:52.559
 fill up,

00:20:53.439 --> 00:20:54.259
 which implies

00:20:54.259 --> 00:20:54.859
 there is a

00:20:54.859 --> 00:20:55.740
 fixed amount,

00:20:56.399 --> 00:20:57.059
 a fixed

00:20:57.059 --> 00:20:58.319
 measure of

00:20:58.319 --> 00:20:58.960
 intense

00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:00.079
 suffering that

00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:01.019
 must be

00:21:01.019 --> 00:21:02.000
 endured by

00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:02.579
 Christ's

00:21:02.579 --> 00:21:03.079
 disciples

00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:04.419
 before he

00:21:04.419 --> 00:21:05.079
 returns.

00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:08.119
 What is

00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:09.419
 this sum

00:21:09.419 --> 00:21:10.179
 of suffering

00:21:10.179 --> 00:21:11.159
 to be

00:21:11.159 --> 00:21:11.519
 endured?

00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:13.059
 Well,

00:21:13.419 --> 00:21:14.419
 it is the

00:21:14.419 --> 00:21:15.500
 sum of

00:21:15.500 --> 00:21:16.039
 what it

00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:17.220
 will cost

00:21:17.220 --> 00:21:18.779
 to deliver,

00:21:19.899 --> 00:21:20.539
 declare,

00:21:21.139 --> 00:21:22.019
 and display

00:21:22.019 --> 00:21:22.899
 the gospel

00:21:22.899 --> 00:21:24.059
 through the

00:21:24.059 --> 00:21:24.539
 ends of the

00:21:24.539 --> 00:21:24.879
 earth,

00:21:25.460 --> 00:21:26.079
 both near

00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:26.559
 and far.

00:21:27.879 --> 00:21:28.539
 As Jesus

00:21:28.539 --> 00:21:29.059
 had told

00:21:29.059 --> 00:21:29.859
 his disciples,

00:21:30.779 --> 00:21:31.359
 the gospel

00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:31.679
 of the

00:21:31.679 --> 00:21:32.019
 kingdom

00:21:32.019 --> 00:21:32.700
 shall be

00:21:32.700 --> 00:21:33.240
 preached in

00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:33.700
 the whole

00:21:33.700 --> 00:21:35.419
 world for

00:21:35.419 --> 00:21:35.899
 a witness

00:21:35.899 --> 00:21:36.519
 to all

00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:37.059
 nations,

00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:38.359
 and then

00:21:38.359 --> 00:21:39.139
 the end

00:21:39.139 --> 00:21:39.679
 shall come.

00:21:41.259 --> 00:21:42.000
 And as

00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:42.659
 Paul explains

00:21:42.659 --> 00:21:43.440
 again to

00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:44.119
 the Colossians,

00:21:44.679 --> 00:21:46.419
 I fill

00:21:46.419 --> 00:21:47.879
 up what

00:21:47.879 --> 00:21:48.659
 is lacking

00:21:48.659 --> 00:21:49.980
 in Christ's

00:21:49.980 --> 00:21:50.779
 sufferings,

00:21:51.059 --> 00:21:52.500
 verse 24,

00:21:53.139 --> 00:21:55.159
 by filling

00:21:55.159 --> 00:21:55.659
 up,

00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:57.000
 or fully

00:21:57.000 --> 00:21:57.740
 carrying out,

00:21:57.740 --> 00:21:58.480
 same word,

00:21:59.220 --> 00:21:59.799
 the preaching

00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:00.079
 of the

00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:00.519
 gospel,

00:22:01.319 --> 00:22:01.960
 verse 25.

00:22:03.700 --> 00:22:04.359
 You see,

00:22:04.460 --> 00:22:05.180
 as disciples,

00:22:05.559 --> 00:22:06.500
 we enter

00:22:06.500 --> 00:22:07.839
 into a

00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:08.579
 partnership

00:22:08.579 --> 00:22:09.700
 in suffering

00:22:09.700 --> 00:22:10.839
 with our

00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:11.279
 master.

00:22:12.420 --> 00:22:13.079
 And that's

00:22:13.079 --> 00:22:13.579
 indeed what

00:22:13.579 --> 00:22:14.420
 fellowship

00:22:14.420 --> 00:22:15.380
 means.

00:22:15.779 --> 00:22:16.140
 It means

00:22:16.140 --> 00:22:17.319
 partnership

00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:18.220
 in a

00:22:18.220 --> 00:22:19.140
 cause.

00:22:20.420 --> 00:22:22.039
 The cause

00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:23.279
 is redemption.

00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:25.339
 and the

00:22:25.339 --> 00:22:26.039
 disciple

00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:27.019
 partners

00:22:27.019 --> 00:22:27.599
 with the

00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:28.039
 master

00:22:28.039 --> 00:22:29.660
 in paying

00:22:29.660 --> 00:22:30.440
 the cost.

00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:32.619
 Both

00:22:32.619 --> 00:22:33.559
 Christ

00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:34.819
 and his

00:22:34.819 --> 00:22:35.579
 disciple

00:22:35.579 --> 00:22:36.839
 suffer

00:22:36.839 --> 00:22:38.299
 to reconcile

00:22:38.299 --> 00:22:39.339
 the world

00:22:39.339 --> 00:22:40.160
 to God,

00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:42.399
 to bring

00:22:42.399 --> 00:22:43.720
 many sons

00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:44.279
 and daughters

00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:44.960
 to glory.

00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:46.200
 Now,

00:22:46.259 --> 00:22:46.660
 let me be

00:22:46.660 --> 00:22:47.920
 very careful

00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:48.359
 here,

00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:49.099
 because I

00:22:49.099 --> 00:22:49.799
 don't want

00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:50.519
 anyone to

00:22:50.519 --> 00:22:51.119
 misunderstand.

00:22:52.259 --> 00:22:53.480
 We suffer

00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:54.440
 in the

00:22:54.440 --> 00:22:54.920
 same

00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:56.099
 cause

00:22:56.099 --> 00:22:57.460
 as the

00:22:57.460 --> 00:22:57.759
 Savior,

00:22:58.900 --> 00:23:00.019
 but our

00:23:00.019 --> 00:23:00.660
 suffering is

00:23:00.660 --> 00:23:01.500
 not of the

00:23:01.500 --> 00:23:02.559
 same character.

00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:04.920
 The

00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:05.400
 suffering

00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:05.799
 that our

00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:06.579
 Lord endured

00:23:06.579 --> 00:23:07.379
 to bring

00:23:07.379 --> 00:23:08.299
 many to

00:23:08.299 --> 00:23:08.759
 glory,

00:23:09.299 --> 00:23:09.980
 none but

00:23:09.980 --> 00:23:10.420
 he could

00:23:10.420 --> 00:23:10.779
 bear.

00:23:12.139 --> 00:23:12.900
 He must

00:23:12.900 --> 00:23:13.460
 tread the

00:23:13.460 --> 00:23:14.099
 winepress

00:23:14.099 --> 00:23:14.519
 alone.

00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:17.940
 He alone

00:23:17.940 --> 00:23:19.160
 took the

00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:19.539
 cup of

00:23:19.539 --> 00:23:19.700
 the

00:23:19.700 --> 00:23:20.099
 Father's

00:23:20.099 --> 00:23:20.500
 wrath.

00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:22.319
 His

00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:23.119
 sufferings

00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:24.660
 were

00:23:24.660 --> 00:23:25.819
 propitiatory.

00:23:27.259 --> 00:23:27.700
 The

00:23:27.700 --> 00:23:28.339
 disciples

00:23:28.339 --> 00:23:29.639
 simply

00:23:29.639 --> 00:23:31.019
 propagatory.

00:23:32.579 --> 00:23:33.079
 His

00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:33.619
 the

00:23:33.619 --> 00:23:34.139
 cost

00:23:34.139 --> 00:23:34.619
 of

00:23:34.619 --> 00:23:35.299
 atoning,

00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:37.160
 ours

00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:38.160
 is but

00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:38.379
 the

00:23:38.379 --> 00:23:38.779
 cost

00:23:38.779 --> 00:23:38.920
 of

00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:39.480
 announcing.

00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:42.200
 His

00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:42.759
 the

00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:43.619
 procuring

00:23:43.619 --> 00:23:44.559
 of a

00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:44.920
 great

00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:45.599
 salvation.

00:23:46.900 --> 00:23:47.400
 Ours

00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:48.539
 merely

00:23:48.539 --> 00:23:49.379
 the

00:23:49.379 --> 00:23:50.379
 proclaiming

00:23:50.379 --> 00:23:50.940
 and

00:23:50.940 --> 00:23:51.640
 parading

00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:52.539
 that

00:23:52.539 --> 00:23:53.400
 great

00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:54.140
 salvation

00:23:54.140 --> 00:23:55.299
 to the

00:23:55.299 --> 00:23:55.500
 ends

00:23:55.500 --> 00:23:55.759
 of the

00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:56.079
 earth.

00:23:59.039 --> 00:23:59.299
 And

00:23:59.299 --> 00:23:59.640
 yet,

00:23:59.980 --> 00:24:00.720
 though ours

00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:01.079
 is the

00:24:01.079 --> 00:24:01.299
 much

00:24:01.299 --> 00:24:01.700
 smaller

00:24:01.700 --> 00:24:02.160
 part,

00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:03.500
 our

00:24:03.500 --> 00:24:03.859
 part

00:24:03.859 --> 00:24:04.379
 too

00:24:04.379 --> 00:24:05.759
 bears

00:24:05.759 --> 00:24:06.559
 a very

00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:07.039
 real

00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:07.740
 cost.

00:24:09.019 --> 00:24:09.519
 And

00:24:09.519 --> 00:24:10.079
 so

00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:11.440
 fundamental

00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:13.680
 is the

00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:14.180
 disciples'

00:24:14.460 --> 00:24:15.100
 call to

00:24:15.100 --> 00:24:15.500
 take it

00:24:15.500 --> 00:24:15.759
 up,

00:24:16.180 --> 00:24:16.660
 that Paul

00:24:16.660 --> 00:24:17.460
 can unpack

00:24:17.460 --> 00:24:18.200
 what it

00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:18.779
 means to

00:24:18.779 --> 00:24:19.120
 know

00:24:19.120 --> 00:24:19.860
 Christ

00:24:19.860 --> 00:24:21.320
 as

00:24:21.320 --> 00:24:22.360
 having

00:24:22.360 --> 00:24:23.019
 fellowship

00:24:23.019 --> 00:24:23.640
 in his

00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:24.400
 sufferings.

00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:26.039
 That I

00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:26.320
 might

00:24:26.320 --> 00:24:26.920
 know

00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:27.400
 him

00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:28.240
 Christ,

00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:29.640
 he writes

00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:29.820
 in

00:24:29.820 --> 00:24:30.259
 Philippians

00:24:30.259 --> 00:24:30.840
 3.10.

00:24:31.380 --> 00:24:32.180
 That is

00:24:32.180 --> 00:24:33.340
 the

00:24:33.340 --> 00:24:34.000
 fellowship

00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:34.539
 of his

00:24:34.539 --> 00:24:35.360
 sufferings.

00:24:37.600 --> 00:24:38.320
 This,

00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:38.820
 then,

00:24:38.940 --> 00:24:39.860
 is the

00:24:39.860 --> 00:24:40.660
 call of

00:24:40.660 --> 00:24:40.840
 the

00:24:40.840 --> 00:24:41.380
 disciple.

00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:43.120
 The

00:24:43.120 --> 00:24:43.720
 call

00:24:43.720 --> 00:24:44.180
 to

00:24:44.180 --> 00:24:45.019
 partnership

00:24:45.019 --> 00:24:46.320
 in

00:24:46.320 --> 00:24:46.779
 Christ's

00:24:46.779 --> 00:24:47.400
 sufferings.

00:24:48.060 --> 00:24:49.000
 The

00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:49.460
 call to

00:24:49.460 --> 00:24:50.000
 take up

00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:50.800
 a share

00:24:50.800 --> 00:24:52.180
 of the

00:24:52.180 --> 00:24:52.960
 messianic

00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:53.620
 woes.

00:24:53.820 --> 00:24:54.180
 The

00:24:54.180 --> 00:24:54.980
 painful

00:24:54.980 --> 00:24:55.800
 birth

00:24:55.800 --> 00:24:56.320
 pains

00:24:56.320 --> 00:24:58.440
 that are

00:24:58.440 --> 00:24:58.840
 bringing

00:24:58.840 --> 00:24:59.160
 his

00:24:59.160 --> 00:24:59.700
 return

00:24:59.700 --> 00:25:01.200
 through

00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:01.720
 helping

00:25:01.720 --> 00:25:02.860
 fully

00:25:02.860 --> 00:25:03.440
 to

00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:03.920
 carry

00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:04.420
 out

00:25:04.420 --> 00:25:05.259
 our

00:25:05.259 --> 00:25:05.720
 gospel

00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:06.180
 mission.

00:25:08.340 --> 00:25:08.779
 Now,

00:25:08.900 --> 00:25:09.180
 of course,

00:25:09.180 --> 00:25:09.480
 this

00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:10.500
 mortification

00:25:10.500 --> 00:25:10.799
 of

00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:11.100
 mission

00:25:11.100 --> 00:25:12.039
 is not

00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:12.799
 confined

00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:13.200
 to the

00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:13.560
 shores

00:25:13.560 --> 00:25:13.900
 and

00:25:13.900 --> 00:25:14.400
 sands

00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:14.600
 of

00:25:14.600 --> 00:25:15.060
 distant

00:25:15.060 --> 00:25:15.620
 lands.

00:25:15.620 --> 00:25:16.380
 We

00:25:16.380 --> 00:25:16.680
 shouldn't

00:25:16.680 --> 00:25:17.039
 just get

00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:17.279
 that

00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:17.740
 impression.

00:25:18.420 --> 00:25:18.519
 We

00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:18.720
 ought

00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:19.279
 not

00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:19.539
 to

00:25:19.539 --> 00:25:19.900
 think

00:25:19.900 --> 00:25:20.460
 that

00:25:20.460 --> 00:25:21.259
 missional

00:25:21.259 --> 00:25:21.960
 suffering

00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:23.440
 is only

00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:24.180
 about

00:25:24.180 --> 00:25:24.779
 exposure

00:25:24.779 --> 00:25:25.039
 to

00:25:29.340 --> 00:25:29.960
 strange

00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:30.460

00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:30.700
 and

 learning

00:25:31.460 --> 00:25:31.880
 hard

00:25:31.880 --> 00:25:32.400
 languages.

00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:33.560
 No.

00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:36.000
 enduring

00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:36.659

00:26:46.279 --> 00:26:46.500
 and

00:26:46.500 --> 00:26:47.019
 more.

00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:48.740
 It

00:26:48.740 --> 00:26:49.279
 strives

00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:49.619
 to bring

00:26:49.619 --> 00:26:49.779
 the

00:26:49.779 --> 00:26:50.119
 gospel

00:26:50.119 --> 00:26:50.319
 to

00:26:50.319 --> 00:26:50.500
 bear

00:26:50.500 --> 00:26:52.539
 intensively,

00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:53.679
 not

00:26:53.679 --> 00:26:54.079
 simply

00:26:54.079 --> 00:26:55.179
 extensively,

00:26:55.879 --> 00:26:56.059
 okay,

00:26:56.099 --> 00:26:56.519
 to reach

00:26:56.519 --> 00:26:57.159
 not only

00:26:57.160 --> 00:26:57.920
 every

00:26:57.920 --> 00:26:58.340
 person

00:26:58.340 --> 00:26:58.560
 for

00:26:58.560 --> 00:26:58.880
 Christ,

00:26:58.980 --> 00:26:59.259
 certainly

00:26:59.259 --> 00:26:59.600
 that,

00:26:59.800 --> 00:27:00.440
 but also

00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:01.080
 the

00:27:01.080 --> 00:27:01.600
 whole

00:27:01.600 --> 00:27:02.240
 person.

00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:04.140
 And

00:27:04.140 --> 00:27:04.440
 indeed

00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:04.640
 to

00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:05.040
 pervade

00:27:05.040 --> 00:27:05.460
 not

00:27:05.460 --> 00:27:05.759
 merely

00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:06.060
 all

00:27:06.060 --> 00:27:06.620
 nations,

00:27:07.460 --> 00:27:07.840
 but

00:27:07.840 --> 00:27:08.279
 also

00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:09.100
 all

00:27:09.100 --> 00:27:09.460
 human

00:27:09.460 --> 00:27:09.980
 thought

00:27:09.980 --> 00:27:10.360
 and

00:27:10.360 --> 00:27:10.779
 culture.

00:27:12.620 --> 00:27:13.340
 As

00:27:13.340 --> 00:27:14.620
 Kuyper

00:27:14.620 --> 00:27:15.100
 loved

00:27:15.100 --> 00:27:15.400
 to

00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:15.820
 pronounce,

00:27:16.580 --> 00:27:17.060
 there

00:27:17.060 --> 00:27:17.540
 is not

00:27:17.540 --> 00:27:17.960
 one

00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:18.420
 square

00:27:18.420 --> 00:27:18.880
 inch

00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:19.380
 in

00:27:19.380 --> 00:27:19.540
 the

00:27:19.540 --> 00:27:19.860
 whole

00:27:19.860 --> 00:27:20.600
 domain

00:27:20.600 --> 00:27:21.220
 of

00:27:21.220 --> 00:27:21.420
 our

00:27:21.420 --> 00:27:21.800
 human

00:27:21.800 --> 00:27:22.320
 existence

00:27:22.320 --> 00:27:22.700
 over

00:27:22.700 --> 00:27:22.960
 which

00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:23.800
 Christ,

00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:24.279
 who

00:27:24.279 --> 00:27:24.500
 is

00:27:24.500 --> 00:27:24.920
 sovereign

00:27:24.920 --> 00:27:25.200
 over

00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:25.620
 all,

00:27:26.060 --> 00:27:26.240
 does

00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:26.519
 not

00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:26.940
 cry,

00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:28.140
 mine,

00:27:28.980 --> 00:27:29.640
 mine.

00:27:31.860 --> 00:27:32.620
 Christ's

00:27:32.620 --> 00:27:32.820
 kingdom

00:27:32.820 --> 00:27:33.720
 must be

00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:34.200
 expressed

00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:35.100
 everywhere.

00:27:35.940 --> 00:27:36.300
 Art,

00:27:36.540 --> 00:27:36.900
 music,

00:27:37.100 --> 00:27:37.480
 science,

00:27:37.660 --> 00:27:37.900
 law,

00:27:38.080 --> 00:27:38.580
 politics,

00:27:39.060 --> 00:27:39.420
 medicine,

00:27:39.779 --> 00:27:40.060
 urban

00:27:40.060 --> 00:27:40.640
 planning,

00:27:41.220 --> 00:27:41.800
 recreation,

00:27:42.279 --> 00:27:43.080
 all of

00:27:43.080 --> 00:27:43.680
 these things.

00:27:44.100 --> 00:27:44.560
 And this

00:27:44.560 --> 00:27:45.200
 vital truth

00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:45.820
 is communicated

00:27:45.820 --> 00:27:46.400
 in verse

00:27:46.400 --> 00:27:47.380
 15 of

00:27:47.380 --> 00:27:48.040
 our passage

00:27:48.040 --> 00:27:49.000
 where we

00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:49.460
 discover

00:27:49.460 --> 00:27:50.080
 that the

00:27:50.080 --> 00:27:50.380
 phrase

00:27:50.380 --> 00:27:51.140
 typically

00:27:51.140 --> 00:27:51.940
 translated

00:27:51.940 --> 00:27:52.900
 grace

00:27:52.900 --> 00:27:53.779
 spreading

00:27:53.779 --> 00:27:54.420
 to

00:27:54.420 --> 00:27:55.500
 more

00:27:55.500 --> 00:27:55.940
 and more

00:27:55.940 --> 00:27:58.160
 doesn't

00:27:58.160 --> 00:27:58.980
 quite

00:27:58.980 --> 00:27:59.539
 capture

00:27:59.539 --> 00:27:59.740
 the

00:27:59.740 --> 00:27:59.980
 full

00:27:59.980 --> 00:28:00.380
 meaning

00:28:00.380 --> 00:28:01.980
 which

00:28:01.980 --> 00:28:02.180
 should

00:28:02.180 --> 00:28:02.500
 include

00:28:02.500 --> 00:28:02.660
 the

00:28:02.660 --> 00:28:02.960
 notion

00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:03.160
 of

00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:03.600
 grace

00:28:03.600 --> 00:28:04.380
 being

00:28:04.380 --> 00:28:05.120
 multiplied

00:28:05.120 --> 00:28:06.519
 through

00:28:06.519 --> 00:28:07.539
 many.

00:28:09.759 --> 00:28:10.400
 Thus,

00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:11.440
 the idea

00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:12.440
 is that

00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:13.220
 through the

00:28:13.220 --> 00:28:13.779
 disciples'

00:28:14.140 --> 00:28:14.620
 suffering,

00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:16.140
 grace

00:28:16.140 --> 00:28:17.680
 is abounding

00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:19.100
 in depth

00:28:19.100 --> 00:28:20.500
 as well

00:28:20.500 --> 00:28:21.480
 as in

00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:22.039
 extent.

00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:24.539
 we are

00:28:24.539 --> 00:28:25.279
 all called

00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:26.039
 to take

00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:26.379
 up the

00:28:26.379 --> 00:28:26.899
 cost

00:28:26.899 --> 00:28:28.220
 of what

00:28:28.220 --> 00:28:28.680
 it takes

00:28:28.680 --> 00:28:29.399
 not only

00:28:29.399 --> 00:28:29.920
 that grace

00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:30.940
 get to

00:28:30.940 --> 00:28:31.859
 others

00:28:31.859 --> 00:28:33.599
 but also

00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:34.559
 that grace

00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:35.279
 might grow

00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:36.079
 through

00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:37.000
 others.

00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:43.319
 I have

00:28:43.319 --> 00:28:44.319
 on my

00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:44.700
 desk

00:28:44.700 --> 00:28:46.240
 Botticelli's

00:28:46.240 --> 00:28:46.980
 depiction

00:28:46.980 --> 00:28:47.480
 of

00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:48.279
 Augustine

00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:49.119
 in his

00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:49.579
 study

00:28:49.579 --> 00:28:51.000
 and he

00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:51.759
 sits there

00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:52.819
 pen ready

00:28:52.819 --> 00:28:54.460
 his eyes

00:28:54.460 --> 00:28:55.420
 are closed

00:28:55.420 --> 00:28:55.700
 in

00:28:55.700 --> 00:28:56.619
 concentration

00:28:56.619 --> 00:28:58.220
 his brow

00:28:58.220 --> 00:28:59.160
 is furled

00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:00.400
 in thoughtfulness

00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:02.200
 and beneath

00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:02.920
 his desk

00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:04.000
 are a

00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:04.539
 score of

00:29:04.539 --> 00:29:05.319
 crumpled up

00:29:05.319 --> 00:29:05.960
 pieces of

00:29:05.960 --> 00:29:06.339
 paper

00:29:06.339 --> 00:29:07.139
 it's my

00:29:07.139 --> 00:29:07.759
 favorite bit

00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:08.699
 the discarded

00:29:08.699 --> 00:29:09.399
 products

00:29:09.399 --> 00:29:10.179
 of the

00:29:10.179 --> 00:29:11.000
 gestation

00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:11.339
 of his

00:29:11.339 --> 00:29:11.959
 laboring

00:29:11.959 --> 00:29:12.639
 mind.

00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:14.899
 Well this

00:29:14.899 --> 00:29:15.299
 too

00:29:15.299 --> 00:29:15.919
 for some

00:29:15.919 --> 00:29:16.179
 of you

00:29:16.179 --> 00:29:16.740
 scholars

00:29:16.740 --> 00:29:18.699
 this too

00:29:18.699 --> 00:29:19.359
 is caring

00:29:19.359 --> 00:29:19.819
 about in

00:29:19.819 --> 00:29:20.299
 the body

00:29:20.299 --> 00:29:21.639
 the dying

00:29:21.639 --> 00:29:22.299
 of Jesus

00:29:22.299 --> 00:29:24.500
 the mortification

00:29:24.500 --> 00:29:25.079
 of mission

00:29:25.079 --> 00:29:26.980
 the careful

00:29:26.980 --> 00:29:27.699
 thought to

00:29:27.699 --> 00:29:29.139
 clarify truth

00:29:29.139 --> 00:29:30.539
 to articulate

00:29:30.539 --> 00:29:31.019
 it.

00:29:33.619 --> 00:29:34.539
 So

00:29:34.539 --> 00:29:36.099
 the call

00:29:36.099 --> 00:29:36.399
 of the

00:29:36.399 --> 00:29:36.940
 disciple

00:29:36.940 --> 00:29:38.399
 is a

00:29:38.399 --> 00:29:38.899
 call

00:29:38.899 --> 00:29:40.139
 to come

00:29:40.139 --> 00:29:40.440
 and to

00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:40.859
 die

00:29:40.859 --> 00:29:42.799
 to

00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:43.740
 experience

00:29:43.740 --> 00:29:45.659
 body

00:29:45.659 --> 00:29:46.299
 and soul

00:29:46.299 --> 00:29:47.759
 as the

00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:48.519
 theater of

00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:49.359
 an ongoing

00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:50.079
 death

00:29:50.079 --> 00:29:52.420
 the cost

00:29:52.420 --> 00:29:53.220
 of the

00:29:53.220 --> 00:29:53.740
 grace of

00:29:53.740 --> 00:29:54.319
 the gospel

00:29:54.319 --> 00:29:55.279
 spreading

00:29:55.279 --> 00:29:56.039
 deep and

00:29:56.039 --> 00:29:56.519
 wide

00:29:56.519 --> 00:29:57.819
 until Christ

00:29:57.819 --> 00:29:58.559
 returns

00:29:58.559 --> 00:30:02.039
 suffering

00:30:02.039 --> 00:30:03.419
 and

00:30:03.419 --> 00:30:04.019
 ongoing

00:30:04.019 --> 00:30:05.379
 dying

00:30:05.379 --> 00:30:05.759
 is

00:30:05.759 --> 00:30:06.779
 fundamental

00:30:06.779 --> 00:30:07.839
 to the

00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:08.319
 path

00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:09.220
 of the

00:30:09.220 --> 00:30:09.700
 disciple.

00:30:10.980 --> 00:30:11.879
 But there

00:30:11.879 --> 00:30:12.399
 is another

00:30:12.399 --> 00:30:12.899
 theme

00:30:12.899 --> 00:30:13.879
 to the

00:30:13.879 --> 00:30:14.339
 passage

00:30:14.339 --> 00:30:15.419
 critical

00:30:15.419 --> 00:30:16.359
 to complete

00:30:16.359 --> 00:30:17.079
 the picture

00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:18.720
 for the

00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:19.359
 call of

00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:19.500
 the

00:30:19.500 --> 00:30:20.059
 disciple

00:30:20.059 --> 00:30:21.139
 is

00:30:21.139 --> 00:30:22.139
 simultaneously

00:30:22.139 --> 00:30:24.139
 and

00:30:24.139 --> 00:30:25.319
 paradoxically

00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:27.299
 a call

00:30:27.299 --> 00:30:27.519
 to

00:30:27.519 --> 00:30:28.500
 experience

00:30:28.500 --> 00:30:29.579
 life.

00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:30.960
 A call

00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:31.159
 to

00:30:31.159 --> 00:30:31.859
 experience

00:30:31.859 --> 00:30:32.379
 life.

00:30:33.939 --> 00:30:34.639
 Paul

00:30:34.639 --> 00:30:35.139
 has told

00:30:35.139 --> 00:30:35.419
 us

00:30:35.419 --> 00:30:36.000
 that his

00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:36.379
 dying

00:30:36.379 --> 00:30:37.000
 has produced

00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:37.559
 life in

00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:37.679
 the

00:30:37.679 --> 00:30:38.079
 Corinthians

00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:39.519
 so

00:30:39.519 --> 00:30:40.139
 death

00:30:40.139 --> 00:30:40.500
 works

00:30:40.500 --> 00:30:41.119
 in us

00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:41.740
 but

00:30:41.740 --> 00:30:42.179
 life

00:30:42.179 --> 00:30:42.379
 in

00:30:42.379 --> 00:30:42.759
 you.

00:30:43.759 --> 00:30:44.099
 But

00:30:44.099 --> 00:30:44.559
 this

00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:44.939
 is not

00:30:44.939 --> 00:30:45.399
 the only

00:30:45.399 --> 00:30:46.000
 place

00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:46.899
 that the

00:30:46.899 --> 00:30:47.279
 dying

00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:47.740
 produces

00:30:47.740 --> 00:30:48.359
 life.

00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:49.399
 The

00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:51.919
 Jesus

00:30:51.919 --> 00:30:53.000
 also

00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:53.759
 produces

00:30:53.759 --> 00:30:54.480
 life

00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:55.480
 in

00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:55.660
 the

00:31:04.980 --> 00:31:05.740
 also

00:31:05.740 --> 00:31:06.339
 may

00:31:06.339 --> 00:31:06.559
 be

00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:07.240

00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:13.460
 dynamic

00:31:13.460 --> 00:31:13.920
 is

00:31:13.920 --> 00:31:14.359
 God's

00:31:14.359 --> 00:31:14.920

00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:15.299
 the

 God

00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:18.579
 is

00:31:18.579 --> 00:31:18.740
 the

00:31:18.740 --> 00:31:18.960
 one

00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:19.160
 that

00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:19.660
 delivers

00:31:19.660 --> 00:31:20.240
 over

00:31:20.240 --> 00:31:20.740
 into

00:31:20.740 --> 00:31:21.339
 death

00:31:21.339 --> 00:31:22.859
 in

00:31:22.859 --> 00:31:23.660

00:31:23.660 --> 00:31:24.300

00:31:26.060 --> 00:31:26.480
 Jesus

00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:27.240
 might

00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:27.480

00:31:28.920 --> 00:31:29.540
 flesh.

00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:31.200
 So

00:31:31.200 --> 00:31:31.759
 just

00:31:31.759 --> 00:31:31.940
 as

00:31:31.940 --> 00:31:32.259
 the

00:31:32.259 --> 00:31:32.660
 great

00:31:40.759 --> 00:31:41.000
 the

00:31:43.980 --> 00:31:44.660
 work

00:31:44.660 --> 00:31:45.720
 is

00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:45.920
 the

00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:46.700
 further

00:31:46.700 --> 00:31:47.620
 exhibition

00:31:47.620 --> 00:31:47.920
 of

 Jesus

00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:50.300

00:31:53.660 --> 00:31:55.279
 How

00:31:55.279 --> 00:31:55.680
 does

00:31:55.680 --> 00:31:55.920
 the

00:32:00.019 --> 00:32:00.140
 the

00:32:00.140 --> 00:32:00.560
 disciple?

00:32:02.700 --> 00:32:03.420
 By

00:32:03.420 --> 00:32:05.100
 sustaining

00:32:05.100 --> 00:32:06.900
 the

00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:08.920
 the

00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:09.440
 disciple.

00:32:10.660 --> 00:32:11.420
 When

00:32:11.420 --> 00:32:11.580
 the

00:32:11.580 --> 00:32:12.100
 disciple

00:32:12.100 --> 00:32:12.900
 answers

00:32:12.900 --> 00:32:13.160
 the

 call

00:32:13.580 --> 00:32:13.800
 to

00:32:14.380 --> 00:32:14.540
 to

00:32:14.540 --> 00:32:14.960
 die,

00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:16.279
 when

00:32:16.279 --> 00:32:16.460
 she

00:32:16.460 --> 00:32:16.860
 takes

00:32:16.860 --> 00:32:17.140
 up

00:32:17.140 --> 00:32:17.620
 the

 cross

00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:19.440
 and

00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:19.779
 begins

00:32:19.779 --> 00:32:20.019
 to

00:32:20.019 --> 00:32:20.279
 carry

00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:20.600
 about

00:32:20.600 --> 00:32:20.720
 in

00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:20.840
 her

00:32:20.840 --> 00:32:21.279
 body

00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:21.779
 the

00:32:21.779 --> 00:32:22.140
 dying

00:32:22.140 --> 00:32:22.340
 of

00:32:22.340 --> 00:32:22.820
 Jesus,

00:32:22.819 --> 00:32:25.200
 when

00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:25.439
 he,

00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:25.700
 the

00:32:25.700 --> 00:32:26.220
 disciple,

00:32:27.019 --> 00:32:27.279
 enters

00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:27.519
 into

00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:27.720
 the

00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:28.119
 fellowship

00:32:28.119 --> 00:32:28.460
 of

00:32:28.460 --> 00:32:29.039
 Christ's

00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:29.700
 sufferings.

00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:32.200
 So

00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:33.139
 costly

00:32:33.139 --> 00:32:34.220
 is

00:32:34.220 --> 00:32:34.419
 the

00:32:34.419 --> 00:32:34.899
 path

00:32:34.899 --> 00:32:36.220
 when

00:32:36.220 --> 00:32:36.559
 followed

00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:37.099
 faithfully,

00:32:37.939 --> 00:32:38.639
 so

00:32:38.639 --> 00:32:39.220
 full

00:32:39.220 --> 00:32:39.379
 of

00:32:39.379 --> 00:32:39.960
 affliction

00:32:39.960 --> 00:32:40.319
 and

00:32:40.319 --> 00:32:40.960
 challenge

00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:42.339
 that

00:32:42.339 --> 00:32:43.539
 sober-minded

00:32:43.539 --> 00:32:44.259
 assessment

00:32:44.259 --> 00:32:45.859
 would put

00:32:45.859 --> 00:32:46.480
 it beyond

00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:46.740
 our

00:32:46.740 --> 00:32:47.200
 powers

00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:47.439
 to

00:32:47.439 --> 00:32:47.759
 endure.

00:32:48.899 --> 00:32:49.879
 We

00:32:49.879 --> 00:32:50.059
 would

00:32:50.059 --> 00:32:50.539
 falter.

00:32:50.539 --> 00:32:52.440
 we

00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:52.599
 would

00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:52.899
 shrink

00:32:52.899 --> 00:32:53.379
 back.

00:32:53.920 --> 00:32:54.200
 We

00:32:54.200 --> 00:32:54.379
 would

00:32:54.379 --> 00:32:54.720
 fall

00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:55.059
 never

00:32:55.059 --> 00:32:55.279
 to

00:32:55.279 --> 00:32:55.779
 rise.

00:32:56.920 --> 00:32:57.420
 But

00:32:57.420 --> 00:32:57.720
 it

00:32:57.720 --> 00:32:58.220
 is

00:32:58.220 --> 00:32:59.240
 precisely

00:32:59.240 --> 00:33:00.339
 here

00:33:00.339 --> 00:33:01.779
 that

00:33:01.779 --> 00:33:02.059
 the

00:33:02.059 --> 00:33:02.599
 Spirit

00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:03.500

00:33:11.399 --> 00:33:11.799
 seven.

00:33:13.399 --> 00:33:13.899

00:33:13.899 --> 00:33:14.220
 we

 though

00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:45.600
 perplexed

00:33:45.600 --> 00:33:45.980
 we're

00:33:45.980 --> 00:33:46.220
 not

00:33:46.220 --> 00:33:47.320
 despairing

00:33:56.440 --> 00:33:57.539
 The

00:34:04.900 --> 00:34:05.320
 The

00:34:05.320 --> 00:34:05.779
 Spirit

00:34:05.779 --> 00:34:06.100
 does

00:34:13.179 --> 00:34:14.339
 And

 Holy

00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:15.079
 Spirit

00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:15.579
 does

00:34:15.579 --> 00:34:15.980
 so

00:34:15.980 --> 00:34:16.399
 by

00:34:16.399 --> 00:34:17.379
 manifesting

00:34:17.379 --> 00:34:17.839
 in

00:34:17.839 --> 00:34:18.019
 the

00:34:18.019 --> 00:34:18.539
 disciple

00:34:18.539 --> 00:34:19.199

00:34:20.739 --> 00:34:21.239
 Jesus.

00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:21.879
 A

00:34:21.879 --> 00:34:22.159
 life

00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:22.359
 of

00:34:22.359 --> 00:34:23.279
 constant

00:34:23.279 --> 00:34:24.579
 mission

00:34:24.579 --> 00:34:25.079
 driven

00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:27.079
 mortification.

00:34:28.919 --> 00:34:29.879
 As

00:34:29.879 --> 00:34:30.099
 verse

00:34:30.099 --> 00:34:30.519
 16

00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:31.159
 expresses

00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:32.159
 that

00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:33.599
 dynamic

00:34:33.599 --> 00:34:34.379
 though

00:34:34.379 --> 00:34:34.839
 our

00:34:34.839 --> 00:34:35.559
 outer

00:34:35.559 --> 00:34:36.399
 self

00:34:36.399 --> 00:34:37.399
 is

00:34:37.399 --> 00:34:38.239
 decaying

00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:39.399
 yet

00:34:39.399 --> 00:34:39.679
 our

00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:40.379

00:34:40.379 --> 00:34:40.819
 self

00:34:40.819 --> 00:34:41.019
 is

00:34:41.019 --> 00:34:41.279
 being

00:34:41.279 --> 00:34:41.899
 renewed

00:34:41.899 --> 00:34:42.359
 day

00:34:42.359 --> 00:34:42.619
 by

00:34:42.619 --> 00:34:43.079
 day.

00:34:43.179 --> 00:34:46.399
 But

00:34:46.399 --> 00:34:46.759
 this

00:34:46.759 --> 00:34:47.759
 daily

00:34:47.759 --> 00:34:48.239
 renewal

00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:48.559
 is

00:34:48.559 --> 00:34:49.039
 more

00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:49.239
 than

00:34:49.239 --> 00:34:49.619
 simply

00:34:49.619 --> 00:34:50.659
 strengthening

00:34:50.659 --> 00:34:51.299
 us

00:34:51.299 --> 00:34:51.559
 to

00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:52.199
 sustain

00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:52.460
 the

00:34:52.460 --> 00:34:52.919
 costly

00:34:52.919 --> 00:34:53.519
 path

00:34:53.519 --> 00:34:54.059
 of

00:34:54.059 --> 00:34:54.839
 discipleship.

00:34:54.839 --> 00:34:55.419
 This

00:34:55.419 --> 00:34:56.199
 renewal

00:34:56.199 --> 00:34:57.019
 is

00:34:57.019 --> 00:34:57.859
 also

00:34:57.859 --> 00:34:58.440
 the

00:34:58.440 --> 00:34:59.219
 inward

00:34:59.219 --> 00:35:00.639
 transforming

00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:01.139
 of the

00:35:01.139 --> 00:35:01.719
 disciple

00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:02.940
 to

00:35:02.940 --> 00:35:04.299
 embrace

00:35:04.299 --> 00:35:04.980
 more

00:35:04.980 --> 00:35:05.659
 fully

00:35:05.659 --> 00:35:07.379
 this

00:35:07.379 --> 00:35:08.159
 path

00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:08.719
 of

00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:09.000
 self

00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:09.379
 giving

00:35:09.379 --> 00:35:09.719

00:35:09.719 --> 00:35:10.079
 gospel.

00:35:10.079 --> 00:35:12.079
 so

00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:12.400
 it's

00:35:12.400 --> 00:35:12.659
 not

00:35:12.659 --> 00:35:12.960
 just

00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:13.400
 giving

00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:13.880
 strength

00:35:13.880 --> 00:35:14.619
 for

00:35:14.619 --> 00:35:14.819
 the

00:35:14.819 --> 00:35:15.420
 path

00:35:15.420 --> 00:35:16.599
 but

00:35:16.599 --> 00:35:17.400
 bending

00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:18.000
 her

00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:18.759
 more

00:35:19.460 --> 00:35:20.579
 that

00:35:20.579 --> 00:35:21.159
 path.

00:35:22.299 --> 00:35:23.340
 The

00:35:28.340 --> 00:35:28.920
 that's

00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:29.099
 here

00:35:29.099 --> 00:35:29.259
 in

00:35:29.460 --> 00:35:30.019
 16

00:35:35.139 --> 00:35:36.159
 But we

 Paul

 The

00:35:55.619 --> 00:35:55.839
 the

00:35:55.839 --> 00:35:56.199
 divine

00:35:56.199 --> 00:35:56.739
 image.

00:35:57.900 --> 00:35:58.259
 Now

00:35:58.259 --> 00:35:58.719
 when we

00:35:58.719 --> 00:35:59.179
 hear

00:35:59.179 --> 00:35:59.699
 image

00:35:59.699 --> 00:36:00.079
 we ought

00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:00.239
 to

00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:00.519
 think

00:36:00.519 --> 00:36:01.099
 back

00:36:01.099 --> 00:36:01.319
 to

00:36:01.319 --> 00:36:01.799
 Genesis

00:36:01.799 --> 00:36:02.719
 and

00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:02.879
 the

00:36:02.879 --> 00:36:03.440
 debacle

00:36:03.440 --> 00:36:04.219
 of

00:36:04.219 --> 00:36:04.579
 Adam

00:36:04.579 --> 00:36:04.719
 in

00:36:04.719 --> 00:36:04.840
 the

00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:05.199
 garden

00:36:05.199 --> 00:36:06.860
 made

00:36:06.860 --> 00:36:07.099
 in

00:36:07.099 --> 00:36:07.759
 God's

00:36:07.759 --> 00:36:08.319
 image

00:36:08.319 --> 00:36:10.059
 ironically

00:36:10.059 --> 00:36:11.199
 in an

00:36:11.199 --> 00:36:11.639
 attempt

00:36:11.639 --> 00:36:12.119
 to be

00:36:12.119 --> 00:36:12.460
 more

00:36:12.460 --> 00:36:13.079
 like

00:36:13.079 --> 00:36:13.799
 God

00:36:13.799 --> 00:36:14.400
 you

00:36:14.400 --> 00:36:14.819
 remember

00:36:14.819 --> 00:36:16.400
 he

00:36:16.400 --> 00:36:17.420
 abused

00:36:17.420 --> 00:36:17.840
 and

00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:18.539
 marred

00:36:18.539 --> 00:36:19.239
 God's

00:36:19.239 --> 00:36:19.739
 image

00:36:19.739 --> 00:36:20.500
 he

00:36:20.500 --> 00:36:20.900
 became

00:36:20.900 --> 00:36:21.579
 less

00:36:21.579 --> 00:36:22.219
 like

00:36:22.219 --> 00:36:22.779
 God

00:36:22.779 --> 00:36:23.299
 through

00:36:23.299 --> 00:36:23.880
 self

00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:24.940
 grasping

00:36:24.940 --> 00:36:26.980
 in

00:36:26.980 --> 00:36:27.779
 contrast

00:36:27.779 --> 00:36:29.759
 the

00:36:29.759 --> 00:36:29.960
 one

00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:30.099
 who

00:36:30.099 --> 00:36:30.239
 is

00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:30.420
 the

00:36:31.779 --> 00:36:32.759
 Jesus

00:36:32.759 --> 00:36:34.099
 who

00:36:34.099 --> 00:36:34.719
 did

00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:35.500
 not

00:36:35.500 --> 00:36:36.079
 use

00:36:36.079 --> 00:36:36.400
 the

00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:36.679
 image

00:36:36.679 --> 00:36:36.860
 of

00:36:36.860 --> 00:36:37.239
 God

00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:38.279
 for

00:36:38.279 --> 00:36:38.619
 self

00:36:38.619 --> 00:36:39.259
 grasping

00:36:39.259 --> 00:36:39.420
 you

00:36:39.420 --> 00:36:39.839
 remember

00:36:39.839 --> 00:36:40.839
 2nd

00:36:40.839 --> 00:36:41.739
 Philippians

00:36:41.739 --> 00:36:42.019
 2

00:36:42.019 --> 00:36:43.139

00:36:43.139 --> 00:36:43.920
 self

00:36:43.920 --> 00:36:44.659
 emptying

 self

00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:46.039
 emptying

00:36:46.039 --> 00:36:47.039
 and in

00:36:47.039 --> 00:36:47.739
 this

00:36:47.739 --> 00:36:48.579
 Jesus

00:36:48.579 --> 00:36:49.659
 manifests

00:36:49.659 --> 00:36:49.940
 the

 image

00:36:50.299 --> 00:36:50.519
 of

00:36:50.519 --> 00:36:50.860
 God

00:36:50.860 --> 00:36:51.500
 fully

00:36:51.500 --> 00:36:53.380
 and we

00:36:53.380 --> 00:36:53.900
 all

00:36:53.900 --> 00:36:54.960
 following

00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:55.480
 Adam

00:36:55.480 --> 00:36:56.000
 are

00:36:56.000 --> 00:36:56.819
 naturally

00:36:56.819 --> 00:36:57.719
 self

00:36:57.719 --> 00:36:58.339
 regarding

00:36:58.339 --> 00:36:59.380
 self

00:36:59.380 --> 00:37:00.380
 grasping

00:37:00.380 --> 00:37:01.960
 but

00:37:01.960 --> 00:37:02.220
 the

00:37:02.220 --> 00:37:02.680
 spirit

00:37:02.680 --> 00:37:03.300
 comes

00:37:03.300 --> 00:37:03.860
 and

00:37:03.860 --> 00:37:04.539
 transforms

00:37:04.539 --> 00:37:05.119
 us

00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:05.519
 from

00:37:05.519 --> 00:37:05.880
 a

00:37:05.880 --> 00:37:06.640
 mockery

00:37:06.640 --> 00:37:07.119
 of

00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:07.260
 the

00:37:07.260 --> 00:37:07.619
 divine

00:37:07.619 --> 00:37:08.140
 image

00:37:08.140 --> 00:37:09.200
 into

00:37:09.200 --> 00:37:09.680
 a

00:37:09.680 --> 00:37:10.440
 manifestation

00:37:10.440 --> 00:37:11.099
 of

00:37:11.099 --> 00:37:11.400
 it

00:37:11.400 --> 00:37:13.300
 to be

00:37:13.300 --> 00:37:13.860
 renewed

00:37:13.860 --> 00:37:14.460
 is to

00:37:14.460 --> 00:37:14.700
 be

00:37:14.700 --> 00:37:15.660
 restored

00:37:15.660 --> 00:37:16.820
 according

00:37:16.820 --> 00:37:17.360
 to the

00:37:17.360 --> 00:37:18.000
 self

00:37:18.000 --> 00:37:18.559
 giving

00:37:18.559 --> 00:37:19.480
 self

00:37:19.480 --> 00:37:20.119
 emptying

00:37:20.119 --> 00:37:20.760
 divine

00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:21.460
 image

00:37:21.460 --> 00:37:22.480
 perfectly

00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:23.400
 exhibited

00:37:23.400 --> 00:37:23.660

00:37:23.660 --> 00:37:24.059
 Jesus

00:37:24.059 --> 00:37:26.699
 so

00:37:26.699 --> 00:37:27.139
 this

00:37:27.139 --> 00:37:27.360
 is

00:37:27.360 --> 00:37:27.699
 what

00:37:27.699 --> 00:37:27.960
 it

00:37:27.960 --> 00:37:28.400
 means

00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:29.519
 for

00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:29.679
 the

00:37:29.679 --> 00:37:30.219
 disciple

00:37:30.219 --> 00:37:30.480
 to

00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:30.779
 have

00:37:30.779 --> 00:37:31.279
 the

00:37:31.279 --> 00:37:31.739
 life

00:37:31.739 --> 00:37:31.960
 of

00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:32.480
 Jesus

00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:33.960
 manifested

00:37:33.960 --> 00:37:34.320
 in

00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:34.579
 his

00:37:34.579 --> 00:37:35.059
 body

00:37:35.059 --> 00:37:36.719
 an

00:37:36.719 --> 00:37:37.460
 abandoned

00:37:37.460 --> 00:37:38.739
 self

00:37:38.739 --> 00:37:39.199
 giving

00:37:39.199 --> 00:37:40.400

00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:40.799
 cause

00:37:40.799 --> 00:37:41.039
 of the

00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:41.460
 gospel

00:37:41.460 --> 00:37:43.779
 so

00:37:43.779 --> 00:37:44.400
 I ask

00:37:44.400 --> 00:37:44.619
 you

00:37:44.619 --> 00:37:46.000
 do

00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:46.219
 you

00:37:46.219 --> 00:37:46.579
 want

00:37:46.579 --> 00:37:46.799
 to

00:37:46.799 --> 00:37:47.199
 know

00:37:47.199 --> 00:37:47.880
 the

00:37:47.880 --> 00:37:48.519
 flow

00:37:48.519 --> 00:37:49.019
 of

00:37:49.019 --> 00:37:49.779
 Christ's

00:37:49.779 --> 00:37:50.360
 spirit

00:37:50.360 --> 00:37:52.460
 then

00:37:52.460 --> 00:37:52.779
 take

00:37:52.779 --> 00:37:53.119
 up

00:37:53.119 --> 00:37:54.339
 the

00:37:54.339 --> 00:37:54.759
 fellowship

00:37:54.759 --> 00:37:55.019
 of

00:37:55.019 --> 00:37:55.199
 his

00:37:55.199 --> 00:37:55.900
 sufferings

00:37:55.900 --> 00:37:57.699
 give

00:37:57.699 --> 00:37:58.219
 yourself

00:37:58.219 --> 00:37:58.859
 away

00:37:58.859 --> 00:38:00.480
 in the

00:38:01.539 --> 00:38:02.519
 and

00:38:02.519 --> 00:38:03.259
 there

00:38:03.259 --> 00:38:04.579
 you

00:38:04.579 --> 00:38:04.839
 will

00:38:04.839 --> 00:38:05.639
 experience

00:38:05.639 --> 00:38:05.960
 the

00:38:05.960 --> 00:38:06.719
 spirit's

00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:07.679
 powerful

00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:08.719
 working

00:38:08.719 --> 00:38:09.299
 in you

00:38:09.299 --> 00:38:11.239
 rendering

00:38:11.239 --> 00:38:12.159
 gloriously

00:38:12.159 --> 00:38:13.099
 that

00:38:17.880 --> 00:38:19.900
 so

00:38:19.900 --> 00:38:21.579
 the

00:38:21.579 --> 00:38:22.219
 call

00:38:22.219 --> 00:38:22.480

00:38:24.699 --> 00:38:25.579
 not only

 but it's

00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:29.079
 the call

00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:29.320
 to

00:48:30.900 --> 00:48:31.400
 elsewhere

00:48:31.400 --> 00:48:33.039

 unseen

00:48:36.739 --> 00:48:38.519
 what are

 these unseen

00:48:39.500 --> 00:48:40.139

00:48:40.139 --> 00:48:42.839
 not

00:48:42.839 --> 00:48:43.859
 what is

00:48:43.859 --> 00:48:45.019
 inherently

00:48:45.019 --> 00:48:45.800
 invisible

 presently

00:48:48.860 --> 00:48:49.980
 invisible

00:48:51.980 --> 00:48:52.360
 that will

00:48:52.360 --> 00:48:53.280
 need

00:48:53.280 --> 00:48:53.880
 that will

00:48:53.880 --> 00:48:54.280
 indeed

00:48:54.280 --> 00:48:54.639
 be

00:52:55.579 --> 00:52:56.300
 stepping

00:52:56.300 --> 00:52:56.860
 out

00:52:56.860 --> 00:52:57.159
 in

00:52:57.159 --> 00:52:57.619
 gospel

00:52:57.619 --> 00:52:58.400
 exploits

00:52:58.400 --> 00:52:59.559
 and

00:52:59.559 --> 00:52:59.980
 setting

00:52:59.980 --> 00:53:00.239
 our

00:53:00.239 --> 00:53:00.719
 sights

00:53:00.719 --> 00:53:02.280
 upon

00:53:02.280 --> 00:53:03.360
 eternal

00:53:03.360 --> 00:53:04.259
 realities

00:53:04.259 --> 00:53:06.360
 amen

00:53:06.360 --> 00:53:09.659
 well team

00:53:09.659 --> 00:53:09.980
 I've gone

00:53:09.980 --> 00:53:10.199
 a little

00:53:10.199 --> 00:53:10.699
 bit over

00:53:10.699 --> 00:53:11.280
 so I

00:53:11.280 --> 00:53:11.759
 fear

00:53:11.759 --> 00:53:13.219
 we won't

00:53:13.219 --> 00:53:13.719
 have time

00:53:13.719 --> 00:53:14.340
 for questions

00:53:14.340 --> 00:53:15.360
 this time

00:53:15.360 --> 00:53:15.980
 but I

00:53:15.980 --> 00:53:16.360
 will try

00:53:16.360 --> 00:53:17.000
 very hard

00:53:17.000 --> 00:53:18.300
 to allow

00:53:18.300 --> 00:53:18.880
 some time

00:53:18.880 --> 00:53:19.639
 next

00:53:19.639 --> 00:53:22.639

00:53:22.639 --> 00:53:23.320

00:53:23.320 --> 00:53:23.639
 meet

00:53:23.639 --> 00:53:25.400
 which

00:53:25.400 --> 00:53:26.940
 in which

00:53:26.940 --> 00:53:27.259
 we will

00:53:27.259 --> 00:53:27.779
 be talking

00:53:27.779 --> 00:53:28.259
 about

00:53:28.259 --> 00:53:28.879
 the

00:53:28.879 --> 00:53:29.699
 conflicts

00:53:29.699 --> 00:53:31.000
 of the

00:53:31.000 --> 00:53:31.579
