00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:24.980
 Well, good morning.

00:00:24.980 --> 00:00:54.960
 Good morning.

00:00:54.979 --> 00:01:00.759
 I realized that it's so easy for this life to be out of kilter, isn't it?

00:01:01.259 --> 00:01:06.819
 Things don't work the way they should, and things are not right as they ought to be.

00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:12.420
 Obviously, shower heads and door locks can be fixed.

00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:13.060
 They're little.

00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:13.939
 They're mundane.

00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:16.900
 They're part of our everyday life in a fallen world.

00:01:16.900 --> 00:01:22.219
 But it reminds us that all is not as it should be in our world as well.

00:01:22.219 --> 00:01:33.980
 As Jonathan prayed, we think about countries around the world where famine and warfare are destroying people's lives.

00:01:34.379 --> 00:01:38.180
 They're dying in hunger and in violence.

00:01:38.180 --> 00:01:50.480
 We pick up the newspapers and we see how deeply affected even our own society is as racism shows its ugly head again and again.

00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:55.659
 Where the mistreatment of women shows itself again and again.

00:01:55.659 --> 00:02:05.340
 We think of the trials and the tragedies of this world and our heart cries out.

00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:07.060
 It's not right.

00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:09.359
 It's not the way it's supposed to be.

00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:11.500
 And we want justice.

00:02:12.019 --> 00:02:12.979
 We want righteousness.

00:02:12.979 --> 00:02:18.539
 We want things to be made right and to put back the way they're supposed to be.

00:02:21.060 --> 00:02:28.579
 So we organize protests, come up with clever hashtags, and call for change.

00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:30.899
 And that's right.

00:02:31.899 --> 00:02:35.179
 We ought to cry out against the wrongness of the world.

00:02:35.259 --> 00:02:40.579
 We ought to rail against the way the world does not work the way it was supposed to.

00:02:40.580 --> 00:02:44.320
 And this deep-seated sense that we all have that that's true.

00:02:44.820 --> 00:02:45.900
 That's right.

00:02:46.920 --> 00:02:48.360
 God affirms that.

00:02:52.380 --> 00:03:06.080
 But even as we look at this, particularly if you're a student of history like I am, you realize humans have been working since the beginning of time to make the world a better place.

00:03:07.260 --> 00:03:08.820
 And we haven't succeeded, have we?

00:03:08.819 --> 00:03:16.239
 If we are honest, the older I get, the bigger the problem looks.

00:03:16.780 --> 00:03:19.120
 The deeper the sin is.

00:03:19.379 --> 00:03:27.299
 The greater the dislocation between what is and what ought to be in our lives and in our world.

00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:29.340
 And I get weary of it.

00:03:29.659 --> 00:03:31.280
 I get weary of a broken world.

00:03:31.459 --> 00:03:34.599
 I get weary of not seeing things change.

00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:36.960
 I get weary of my own failure.

00:03:38.139 --> 00:03:43.900
 And I get weary of the things I have to walk through because of the fallenness of this world.

00:03:43.900 --> 00:03:47.939
 Maybe you're like me this morning.

00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:57.640
 Maybe you're still young and youthful and hoping by protest and change we can actually make this world no longer feel that way.

00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:11.059
 But I tell you that though that hope is right and even that work is right for us to do, the message of Christianity is that there is a greater hope in the midst of this.

00:04:11.060 --> 00:04:19.480
 There is something greater for us to look to and to stand on in the midst of this world.

00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:23.939
 And it is very simply the person of Jesus Christ.

00:04:23.939 --> 00:04:39.699
 In him we find answers both to the longings for righteousness and justice and an answer to the despair that we can fall into as we face it.

00:04:41.100 --> 00:04:44.939
 And this brings us to our passage this morning, the book of Colossians.

00:04:45.620 --> 00:04:49.220
 If you want to turn with me there, it's 983 in your pew Bibles.

00:04:49.220 --> 00:04:57.460
 We're going to look at Colossians 1 verses 15 through 23.

00:04:59.320 --> 00:05:06.860
 The last couple of weeks what we have heard is an apostle writing to this church that he's never been to but that he loves.

00:05:07.780 --> 00:05:17.460
 He's writing to them to encourage them in their faith with a concern that they might be losing the clarity of their faith.

00:05:17.459 --> 00:05:20.279
 That Christ really is enough for them.

00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:25.000
 That they might be thinking they need something more or something else.

00:05:27.739 --> 00:05:34.039
 We've seen in verses 3 through 8 how Paul writes with thanksgiving for the work of God in their lives.

00:05:34.479 --> 00:05:37.599
 For seeing how the gospel of Jesus Christ has changed them.

00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:42.120
 We see how in verses 9 through 14 he then has prayed for them.

00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:45.340
 Praying that that would continue and even more.

00:05:45.840 --> 00:05:47.980
 That it would be abundant in their lives.

00:05:49.760 --> 00:05:51.920
 And then we come to our passage this morning.

00:05:53.280 --> 00:05:55.600
 In your Bible there's a break.

00:05:55.840 --> 00:05:57.360
 There's a new section heading.

00:05:58.020 --> 00:06:01.120
 But in the original it's actually a relative clause.

00:06:01.540 --> 00:06:05.420
 It's describing the beloved son from verse 13.

00:06:05.420 --> 00:06:08.620
 So let's read this together.

00:06:08.840 --> 00:06:11.520
 Colossians 1 verses 15 and following.

00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:19.020
 He is, that is Christ, is the image of the invisible God.

00:06:19.379 --> 00:06:21.240
 The firstborn of all creation.

00:06:21.980 --> 00:06:25.060
 For by him all things were created in heaven and on earth.

00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:26.780
 Visible and invisible.

00:06:27.020 --> 00:06:30.460
 Whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities.

00:06:30.459 --> 00:06:34.719
 All things were created through him and for him.

00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:37.819
 And he is before all things.

00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:40.759
 And in him all things hold together.

00:06:41.620 --> 00:06:44.219
 And he is the head of the body, the church.

00:06:44.659 --> 00:06:45.579
 He is the beginning.

00:06:45.939 --> 00:06:47.699
 The firstborn from the dead.

00:06:48.299 --> 00:06:51.399
 That in everything he might be preeminent.

00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:55.679
 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell.

00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:59.620
 And through him to reconcile to himself all things.

00:06:59.959 --> 00:07:02.160
 Whether on earth or in heaven.

00:07:02.740 --> 00:07:05.420
 Making peace by the blood of his cross.

00:07:06.139 --> 00:07:09.900
 And you who were once alienated and hostile in mind.

00:07:10.019 --> 00:07:11.079
 Doing evil deeds.

00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:13.399
 He has now reconciled in his body.

00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:14.819
 Body of flesh.

00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:16.199
 By his death.

00:07:16.819 --> 00:07:19.720
 In order to present you holy and blameless.

00:07:20.100 --> 00:07:22.259
 And above reproach before him.

00:07:22.259 --> 00:07:25.599
 If indeed you continue in the faith.

00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:27.759
 Stable and steadfast.

00:07:28.039 --> 00:07:30.920
 Not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard.

00:07:31.379 --> 00:07:34.300
 Which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven.

00:07:34.740 --> 00:07:38.240
 And of which I, Paul, became a minister.

00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:40.519
 Will you pray with me?

00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:44.980
 Lord, as we look at this passage this morning.

00:07:45.620 --> 00:07:47.959
 We do ask that you would open our eyes.

00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:49.740
 To see the greatness of Christ.

00:07:49.740 --> 00:07:55.800
 Lord, that you would help us to grow in confidence.

00:07:56.379 --> 00:07:57.319
 In faith.

00:07:58.240 --> 00:07:59.100
 In him.

00:07:59.980 --> 00:08:01.360
 As the all sufficient.

00:08:01.780 --> 00:08:03.160
 And all supreme one.

00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:09.879
 Lord, that in the face of this fallen, broken world that we live in.

00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:12.800
 Lord, that we can continue in hope.

00:08:13.860 --> 00:08:15.019
 Because of Christ.

00:08:15.019 --> 00:08:18.479
 Lord, I pray for your help this morning.

00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:21.539
 As we look at this passage together.

00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.199
 Lord, use me.

00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:26.039
 And speak through my words.

00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:28.759
 Lord, that we might hear.

00:08:29.539 --> 00:08:30.000
 You.

00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:31.279
 This morning.

00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:34.299
 We pray these things in Jesus name.

00:08:34.860 --> 00:08:35.100
 Amen.

00:08:35.100 --> 00:08:35.220
 Amen.

00:08:35.220 --> 00:08:35.279
 Amen.

00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:35.319
 Amen.

00:08:35.319 --> 00:08:37.279
 Amen.

00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:37.319
 Amen.

00:08:37.319 --> 00:08:37.379
 Amen.

00:08:37.379 --> 00:08:37.399
 Amen.

00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:39.319
 Amen.

00:08:39.319 --> 00:08:41.319
 Amen.

00:08:41.319 --> 00:08:41.379
 Amen.

00:08:41.379 --> 00:08:42.319
 Amen.

00:08:42.319 --> 00:08:43.319
 Amen.

00:08:43.319 --> 00:08:44.319
 Amen.

00:08:44.319 --> 00:08:45.000
 Amen.

00:08:45.659 --> 00:08:50.019
 Friends, we are on rare ground as we look at this passage this morning.

00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:57.500
 The English versions don't show it, but this passage, particularly verses 15 through 19,

00:08:58.019 --> 00:09:00.319
 is actually a hymn of praise.

00:09:00.740 --> 00:09:03.179
 The prose actually changes in the original language.

00:09:03.340 --> 00:09:07.079
 The cadence and the rhythm, it feels like and it seems like.

00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.920
 and many believe that it is an old hymn

00:09:09.920 --> 00:09:11.540
 that was sung in the early church,

00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:12.639
 whether Paul wrote it

00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:15.540
 or whether he was appropriating it

00:09:15.540 --> 00:09:19.680
 and using it for this particular context.

00:09:21.160 --> 00:09:24.000
 There's this song of praise to Jesus

00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.900
 that exalts the glories of Christ

00:09:26.900 --> 00:09:29.280
 and lifts up before us

00:09:29.280 --> 00:09:32.980
 how he is all that we really need.

00:09:34.740 --> 00:09:36.640
 He's all that we really need

00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:38.699
 when it feels like life is falling apart.

00:09:39.199 --> 00:09:41.100
 He is all that we need

00:09:41.100 --> 00:09:43.480
 when it feels like it's just getting worse.

00:09:44.659 --> 00:09:46.620
 And that's what we're gonna look at this morning.

00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:49.460
 In those two sections,

00:09:50.439 --> 00:09:51.759
 verses 15 through 17,

00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:53.120
 we'll think about how it is

00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:54.960
 that Christ is holding us together

00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:57.179
 when we feel like it's falling apart.

00:09:57.679 --> 00:09:58.399
 The second one,

00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.159
 how Christ is making it right

00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:03.759
 when it feels like it's all going wrong.

00:10:04.500 --> 00:10:06.080
 So let's look at that.

00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:07.060
 This morning.

00:10:07.060 --> 00:10:07.720
 First of all,

00:10:07.780 --> 00:10:09.180
 verses 15 through 17.

00:10:12.580 --> 00:10:15.860
 There's so many rich theological pictures here.

00:10:16.220 --> 00:10:17.340
 I wish I had time.

00:10:17.540 --> 00:10:19.300
 We could spend the rest of the fall

00:10:19.300 --> 00:10:20.320
 just preaching on this.

00:10:20.379 --> 00:10:21.560
 I'll just preach on 15,

00:10:21.780 --> 00:10:23.540
 the first half of it this morning

00:10:23.540 --> 00:10:24.440
 and then we'll go on.

00:10:24.540 --> 00:10:25.139
 Does that sound good?

00:10:25.560 --> 00:10:26.139
 No, I'm kidding.

00:10:26.400 --> 00:10:27.400
 We won't really do that.

00:10:27.780 --> 00:10:29.080
 We're gonna keep moving through.

00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:31.820
 But so much rich.

00:10:33.980 --> 00:10:36.259
 In referring back to this kingdom

00:10:36.259 --> 00:10:38.520
 of the beloved son that he says

00:10:38.520 --> 00:10:40.500
 believers have been brought into

00:10:40.500 --> 00:10:42.040
 by their faith in Christ,

00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:44.160
 he now lifts up,

00:10:44.400 --> 00:10:46.700
 what is the character and the nature of this son

00:10:46.700 --> 00:10:48.400
 who rules over this kingdom?

00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:49.920
 And he says, first of all,

00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:51.560
 he is fully God.

00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:53.400
 He is the image

00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:56.319
 image of the invisible God.

00:10:56.319 --> 00:10:57.340
 And by image,

00:10:57.399 --> 00:10:58.860
 he doesn't mean a replica.

00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:02.299
 He doesn't mean a projection of.

00:11:02.500 --> 00:11:04.899
 He means an exact representation

00:11:04.899 --> 00:11:07.579
 of the fullness of God

00:11:07.579 --> 00:11:10.379
 is seen in this one Jesus Christ.

00:11:10.379 --> 00:11:14.179
 And he is the firstborn of all creation,

00:11:14.779 --> 00:11:16.059
 which does not mean,

00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:17.740
 as a Jehovah's Witness would argue,

00:11:17.860 --> 00:11:19.700
 that he is the first created being,

00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:21.080
 but instead it means

00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:22.820
 that he is the firstborn

00:11:22.820 --> 00:11:26.179
 taking the place of preeminence

00:11:26.179 --> 00:11:27.559
 and priority over.

00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:30.860
 So he is the firstborn over all creation

00:11:30.860 --> 00:11:33.360
 is the best way to see that.

00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:36.340
 Firstborn in the Bible is a position.

00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:40.240
 It's not merely a temporal term.

00:11:40.740 --> 00:11:42.259
 Although Christ was birth,

00:11:42.539 --> 00:11:43.720
 because Christ existed

00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:45.399
 from all eternity past,

00:11:45.740 --> 00:11:47.539
 and yet also he takes this place

00:11:47.539 --> 00:11:50.500
 of being over all of the creation.

00:11:51.419 --> 00:11:52.139
 And we know that,

00:11:52.259 --> 00:11:54.279
 particularly because then in verse 16

00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:55.240
 it goes on and says,

00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:57.439
 for by him all things were made.

00:11:58.360 --> 00:11:59.620
 And so we know that Christ

00:11:59.620 --> 00:12:01.179
 isn't a part of what was made.

00:12:01.460 --> 00:12:02.720
 In fact, he was the agent

00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:05.360
 by which God created

00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:07.279
 all things in the world.

00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:09.620
 And so we're lifting up

00:12:09.620 --> 00:12:11.899
 this person, Jesus Christ.

00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:12.600
 And remember,

00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:13.820
 this is a generation

00:12:13.820 --> 00:12:16.080
 after Jesus walked the earth.

00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:18.080
 He was a man who had hair

00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:19.720
 and clothes that you could touch,

00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:21.360
 that you could eat a meal with.

00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:22.659
 And Paul is saying,

00:12:22.899 --> 00:12:26.220
 that man is this incredibly exalted

00:12:26.220 --> 00:12:29.159
 God in the flesh

00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:33.819
 who has come to be for you,

00:12:34.179 --> 00:12:35.839
 the one over all creation.

00:12:39.019 --> 00:12:40.659
 And he goes on and he says,

00:12:41.219 --> 00:12:42.899
 all things were created in him.

00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:44.860
 There's not a single thing

00:12:44.860 --> 00:12:45.679
 in this world

00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:48.240
 that doesn't come from Christ.

00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:50.879
 And particularly it seems

00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:51.659
 he's focusing,

00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:53.500
 as the concern goes on in the books,

00:12:53.560 --> 00:12:54.799
 he's focusing on powers

00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:55.960
 that we think might be

00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:57.100
 beyond his control.

00:12:57.820 --> 00:12:58.799
 It seems like

00:12:58.799 --> 00:12:59.700
 in the Corinthian church

00:12:59.700 --> 00:13:00.840
 there was some fear,

00:13:01.259 --> 00:13:02.460
 particularly that there might be

00:13:02.460 --> 00:13:03.600
 some spiritual powers,

00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:04.480
 maybe angels,

00:13:04.700 --> 00:13:04.879
 maybe,

00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:06.379
 it's not clear,

00:13:06.740 --> 00:13:07.639
 we're guessing,

00:13:07.980 --> 00:13:09.259
 because we don't know for sure.

00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:10.759
 But some power

00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:11.240
 that was beyond

00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:12.600
 what Christ

00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:13.659
 and the gospel

00:13:13.659 --> 00:13:15.000
 could actually address.

00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:18.759
 And Paul is very explicit here.

00:13:19.659 --> 00:13:20.679
 There is nothing

00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:23.299
 that was not created by Christ.

00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:25.039
 There is no economic

00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:26.759
 or socio-political structure.

00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:28.700
 There is no culture

00:13:28.700 --> 00:13:30.179
 and no worldview.

00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:32.320
 There is no spiritual power

00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:33.720
 or physical malady

00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:34.639
 or condition.

00:13:35.100 --> 00:13:36.179
 There is no addiction

00:13:36.179 --> 00:13:37.679
 or sin.

00:13:37.860 --> 00:13:39.039
 There is no government

00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:40.100
 or legal system.

00:13:40.100 --> 00:13:42.059
 No social clique

00:13:42.059 --> 00:13:42.879
 or grouping.

00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:45.500
 There is nothing

00:13:45.500 --> 00:13:46.740
 in this creation

00:13:46.740 --> 00:13:48.600
 that did not flow

00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:50.799
 from his created purpose

00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:52.340
 that does not come

00:13:52.340 --> 00:13:53.240
 from him.

00:13:53.539 --> 00:13:54.059
 Now look,

00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:55.960
 he is not the author of evil.

00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:58.740
 But in every structure,

00:13:58.899 --> 00:14:00.279
 in every power,

00:14:00.439 --> 00:14:01.419
 in everything,

00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:02.860
 Christ says,

00:14:03.139 --> 00:14:04.240
 I am over this.

00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:05.840
 Nothing is outside

00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:07.320
 of my control.

00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:09.460
 It has sprung from me.

00:14:09.460 --> 00:14:10.159
 And as you see,

00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:10.860
 it goes on

00:14:10.860 --> 00:14:12.240
 in verse 17.

00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:15.600
 It hasn't just sprung

00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:17.480
 from my creative power,

00:14:17.620 --> 00:14:18.399
 but I am the one

00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:19.519
 who sustains it.

00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:20.460
 There is nothing

00:14:20.460 --> 00:14:21.259
 that continues

00:14:21.259 --> 00:14:22.480
 in this world

00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:25.320
 that I don't uphold.

00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:27.259
 This is true

00:14:27.259 --> 00:14:28.439
 of the physical world.

00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:29.879
 It is God.

00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:31.299
 It is Christ

00:14:31.299 --> 00:14:32.519
 who makes atoms

00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:34.679
 spin around the nucleus.

00:14:35.259 --> 00:14:36.159
 It is Christ

00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:36.980
 who holds

00:14:36.980 --> 00:14:38.519
 gravitational constants

00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:39.340
 constant.

00:14:39.340 --> 00:14:41.980
 It is Christ

00:14:41.980 --> 00:14:43.180
 who makes life

00:14:43.180 --> 00:14:44.740
 flow from DNA

00:14:44.740 --> 00:14:45.820
 and biochemistry

00:14:45.820 --> 00:14:46.720
 and things

00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:47.379
 that are far

00:14:47.379 --> 00:14:48.639
 beyond my understanding.

00:14:49.580 --> 00:14:50.740
 And it is Christ

00:14:50.740 --> 00:14:51.820
 who sustains

00:14:51.820 --> 00:14:52.980
 countries

00:14:52.980 --> 00:14:53.700
 and nations

00:14:53.700 --> 00:14:54.700
 and societies.

00:14:55.500 --> 00:14:56.500
 It is Christ

00:14:56.500 --> 00:14:57.660
 who holds it together

00:14:57.660 --> 00:14:58.980
 so that it might not be

00:14:58.980 --> 00:15:00.620
 as bad as it could be.

00:15:02.620 --> 00:15:03.620
 Christ holds

00:15:03.620 --> 00:15:05.280
 all these things together.

00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:05.360
 together.

00:15:06.740 --> 00:15:07.459
 And not only

00:15:07.459 --> 00:15:09.159
 does Colossians

00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:09.639
 here say

00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:10.899
 they are from him

00:15:10.899 --> 00:15:12.120
 and they are sustained

00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:12.839
 by him,

00:15:12.959 --> 00:15:13.699
 but they are made

00:15:13.699 --> 00:15:14.679
 for him.

00:15:19.139 --> 00:15:20.500
 Do you see this?

00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:22.559
 The end of verse 16.

00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:23.779
 They were created

00:15:23.779 --> 00:15:24.439
 through him

00:15:24.439 --> 00:15:25.279
 and they were created

00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:26.139
 for him.

00:15:26.139 --> 00:15:29.580
 All of these things,

00:15:29.699 --> 00:15:30.819
 the physical world,

00:15:31.259 --> 00:15:32.360
 the social world,

00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:33.960
 the world of humanity,

00:15:34.139 --> 00:15:35.019
 all of these things

00:15:35.019 --> 00:15:35.819
 were created

00:15:35.819 --> 00:15:37.659
 so that in them,

00:15:37.819 --> 00:15:39.939
 in their created goodness,

00:15:40.539 --> 00:15:42.659
 they would glorify Christ.

00:15:43.199 --> 00:15:44.539
 That they would be centered

00:15:44.539 --> 00:15:45.679
 around him.

00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:47.199
 That he would take

00:15:47.199 --> 00:15:48.580
 the first place

00:15:48.580 --> 00:15:49.580
 in all of them

00:15:49.580 --> 00:15:51.740
 and that they would live

00:15:51.740 --> 00:15:52.720
 for his glory.

00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:52.819
 Glory.

00:15:56.139 --> 00:15:58.179
 Paul says,

00:15:58.500 --> 00:15:59.360
 this is the son

00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:01.899
 who rules the kingdom

00:16:01.899 --> 00:16:03.159
 that you've been brought into.

00:16:03.379 --> 00:16:04.419
 The one who created

00:16:04.419 --> 00:16:05.659
 all of these things

00:16:05.659 --> 00:16:07.580
 and he is over all of it.

00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:10.779
 Now I know,

00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:13.980
 I know that's hard to believe.

00:16:15.139 --> 00:16:16.100
 That's a hard message

00:16:16.100 --> 00:16:16.740
 to swallow

00:16:16.740 --> 00:16:19.159
 because I see you

00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:20.480
 as you sit in my office

00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:22.919
 and as we talk

00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:23.819
 about your lives.

00:16:23.820 --> 00:16:27.060
 Christ is really

00:16:27.060 --> 00:16:28.280
 holding all things together

00:16:28.280 --> 00:16:29.100
 in my marriage

00:16:29.100 --> 00:16:30.100
 that's falling apart.

00:16:31.620 --> 00:16:32.620
 Christ is holding

00:16:32.620 --> 00:16:33.660
 all things together

00:16:33.660 --> 00:16:37.340
 when the society

00:16:37.340 --> 00:16:38.240
 that I live in,

00:16:38.340 --> 00:16:39.160
 the school system,

00:16:39.260 --> 00:16:39.900
 is completely

00:16:39.900 --> 00:16:41.100
 coming unraveled.

00:16:43.180 --> 00:16:44.220
 Christ is holding

00:16:44.220 --> 00:16:45.220
 all things together

00:16:45.220 --> 00:16:46.900
 when I don't think

00:16:46.900 --> 00:16:47.520
 I'm going to be able

00:16:47.520 --> 00:16:49.640
 to pass my exams

00:16:49.640 --> 00:16:50.540
 or make it

00:16:50.540 --> 00:16:51.480
 through my program.

00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:53.200
 Christ is holding

00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:54.080
 all things together

00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:55.360
 when I've lost my job

00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:56.000
 and I'm losing

00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:57.560
 and I don't have any money.

00:16:58.759 --> 00:16:59.840
 Christ is holding

00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:00.560
 it together

00:17:00.560 --> 00:17:03.659
 when I'm in the hospital

00:17:03.659 --> 00:17:04.240
 again

00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:06.140
 and all the procedures

00:17:06.140 --> 00:17:07.360
 and all the diagnoses

00:17:07.360 --> 00:17:08.799
 don't seem to be fixing

00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:09.640
 what ails me.

00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:15.220
 It's easy, isn't it,

00:17:15.500 --> 00:17:16.700
 to lose sight

00:17:16.700 --> 00:17:18.620
 of the fact

00:17:18.620 --> 00:17:19.579
 that all of this

00:17:19.579 --> 00:17:21.299
 is from Christ

00:17:21.299 --> 00:17:22.799
 and through Christ

00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:24.199
 and for Him.

00:17:24.859 --> 00:17:26.579
 He's got the whole world

00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:28.720
 in His hands.

00:17:32.399 --> 00:17:33.859
 Even the worst of it

00:17:33.859 --> 00:17:35.539
 is not outside

00:17:35.539 --> 00:17:37.379
 of His sovereign power

00:17:37.379 --> 00:17:38.299
 and control.

00:17:38.299 --> 00:17:44.139
 Paul says,

00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:44.980
 remember Him.

00:17:46.180 --> 00:17:47.019
 Look to Him.

00:17:47.399 --> 00:17:48.419
 See Him high

00:17:48.419 --> 00:17:49.579
 and exalted

00:17:49.579 --> 00:17:50.799
 over all things

00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:52.299
 and trust

00:17:52.299 --> 00:17:53.839
 that when it all

00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:54.500
 looks like it's

00:17:54.500 --> 00:17:55.220
 falling apart

00:17:55.220 --> 00:17:55.940
 for you,

00:17:57.139 --> 00:17:58.359
 He's got it

00:17:58.359 --> 00:17:59.559
 in His hands

00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:02.440
 because He is the one

00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:03.559
 over all creation.

00:18:05.539 --> 00:18:05.879
 You see,

00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:06.819
 our greatest fear

00:18:06.819 --> 00:18:07.960
 I think is that

00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:09.619
 when things fall apart

00:18:09.619 --> 00:18:10.240
 we think

00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:13.279
 it's truly out of control.

00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:17.539
 We think it's bad

00:18:17.539 --> 00:18:18.939
 and it's only going to get worse

00:18:18.939 --> 00:18:20.339
 and we think there's no way.

00:18:20.879 --> 00:18:22.200
 It's out of our control.

00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:23.579
 It's out of anybody's control.

00:18:24.139 --> 00:18:25.220
 I think we fear

00:18:25.220 --> 00:18:30.139
 and so we don't trust.

00:18:30.140 --> 00:18:35.600
 But the good news

00:18:35.600 --> 00:18:36.640
 as Paul goes on

00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:37.540
 is that not only

00:18:37.540 --> 00:18:38.240
 is Christ

00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:40.220
 the one who

00:18:40.220 --> 00:18:41.200
 is over all

00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:42.040
 in creation

00:18:42.040 --> 00:18:43.980
 even in its fallenness

00:18:43.980 --> 00:18:45.440
 but now He says

00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:46.160
 He is

00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:48.360
 in the midst

00:18:48.360 --> 00:18:49.600
 of this now

00:18:49.600 --> 00:18:50.580
 fallen creation.

00:18:50.800 --> 00:18:51.460
 He is making

00:18:51.460 --> 00:18:52.420
 a new creation.

00:18:52.860 --> 00:18:53.400
 He is over

00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:54.400
 a new creation

00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:55.820
 that He has begun.

00:18:56.960 --> 00:18:57.980
 We see this

00:18:57.980 --> 00:19:01.160
 in verse 20

00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:01.880
 where it talks

00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:02.559
 about Him

00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:03.759
 being the one

00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:04.900
 who is going to reconcile

00:19:04.900 --> 00:19:06.180
 all things

00:19:06.180 --> 00:19:06.900
 to Himself.

00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:09.559
 And this is where

00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:10.299
 we see that Christ

00:19:10.299 --> 00:19:11.220
 is not only

00:19:11.220 --> 00:19:12.120
 holding it together

00:19:12.120 --> 00:19:13.259
 when things are falling apart

00:19:13.259 --> 00:19:14.420
 but Christ is also

00:19:14.420 --> 00:19:15.440
 making it right

00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:16.400
 when it feels like

00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:16.980
 it's all

00:19:16.980 --> 00:19:18.339
 going wrong.

00:19:20.819 --> 00:19:21.299
 Reconciling

00:19:21.299 --> 00:19:22.099
 all things.

00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:22.980
 Have you noticed

00:19:22.980 --> 00:19:23.680
 by the way

00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:24.839
 in Colossians 1

00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:25.839
 how often

00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:26.579
 the idea

00:19:26.579 --> 00:19:27.279
 of all

00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:28.240
 has been repeated?

00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:29.779
 Look with me

00:19:29.779 --> 00:19:30.919
 just in the verses

00:19:30.919 --> 00:19:32.259
 that we have

00:19:32.259 --> 00:19:33.000
 before us.

00:19:33.339 --> 00:19:34.279
 In verse 15

00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:36.819
 all of creation.

00:19:37.059 --> 00:19:37.980
 In verse 16

00:19:37.980 --> 00:19:39.079
 all things

00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:39.779
 were created

00:19:39.779 --> 00:19:40.559
 and again

00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:41.539
 all things

00:19:41.539 --> 00:19:42.059
 were created

00:19:42.059 --> 00:19:42.559
 through Him

00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:43.099
 and for Him.

00:19:43.139 --> 00:19:44.019
 In verse 17

00:19:44.019 --> 00:19:45.220
 He is before

00:19:45.220 --> 00:19:45.939
 all things

00:19:45.939 --> 00:19:46.339
 in Him

00:19:46.339 --> 00:19:47.119
 all things

00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:47.819
 hold together.

00:19:48.220 --> 00:19:48.959
 Verse 18

00:19:48.959 --> 00:19:50.279
 in everything

00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:52.019
 He might be

00:19:52.019 --> 00:19:52.419
 preeminent.

00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:53.259
 Verse 19

00:19:53.259 --> 00:19:54.400
 all the fullness

00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:55.140
 of God

00:19:55.140 --> 00:19:56.920
 and verse 20

00:19:56.920 --> 00:19:58.079
 through Him

00:19:58.079 --> 00:19:58.619
 to reconcile

00:19:58.619 --> 00:19:59.379
 to Himself

00:19:59.379 --> 00:20:01.200
 all things.

00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:05.759
 Christ is saying

00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:06.460
 that He's going

00:20:06.460 --> 00:20:07.200
 to take

00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:08.599
 all of these things

00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:10.140
 and He's going

00:20:10.140 --> 00:20:11.640
 to make them right

00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:13.359
 by reconciling

00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:14.240
 them to Himself.

00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:16.299
 And what does that mean

00:20:16.299 --> 00:20:17.319
 reconciling

00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:17.940
 all things

00:20:17.940 --> 00:20:18.460
 to Himself?

00:20:18.819 --> 00:20:19.839
 We often think

00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:20.519
 of reconciliation

00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:21.920
 as a relational term.

00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:22.759
 Right?

00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:23.440
 We have a broken

00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:24.099
 relationship

00:20:24.099 --> 00:20:24.720
 and we need

00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:25.420
 to reconcile

00:20:25.420 --> 00:20:25.759
 them.

00:20:25.779 --> 00:20:26.059
 And that's

00:20:26.059 --> 00:20:26.480
 inappropriate

00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:27.420
 and that's

00:20:27.420 --> 00:20:27.759
 a good

00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:28.180
 biblical

00:20:28.180 --> 00:20:31.019
 picture

00:20:31.019 --> 00:20:31.680
 and a good

00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:32.400
 understanding

00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:32.759
 of what

00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:34.079
 reconciliation is.

00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:34.720
 And it's

00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:35.359
 very clear

00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:35.960
 in other places

00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:36.440
 for instance

00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:37.440
 in Ephesians 2

00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:38.640
 it talks about

00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:39.859
 God reconciling

00:20:39.859 --> 00:20:40.720
 Jew and Gentile

00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:41.119
 and bringing

00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:41.740
 them together

00:20:41.740 --> 00:20:42.400
 and that's

00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:42.980
 very clearly

00:20:42.980 --> 00:20:44.579
 bringing together

00:20:44.579 --> 00:20:46.299
 of broken

00:20:46.299 --> 00:20:47.099
 relationships.

00:20:48.059 --> 00:20:48.579
 But here

00:20:48.579 --> 00:20:48.980
 I think

00:20:48.980 --> 00:20:49.779
 it might actually

00:20:49.779 --> 00:20:50.019
 be

00:20:50.019 --> 00:20:50.440
 there's a

00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:50.940
 different way

00:20:50.940 --> 00:20:51.220
 that we

00:20:51.220 --> 00:20:51.960
 use reconcile

00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:52.420
 in our

00:20:52.420 --> 00:20:53.039
 world today

00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:53.299
 I think

00:20:53.299 --> 00:20:53.660
 might be

00:20:53.660 --> 00:20:53.960
 helpful

00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:54.759
 and that's

00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:55.279
 an accountant.

00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:56.639
 Now I'm not

00:20:56.639 --> 00:20:57.059
 very good

00:20:57.059 --> 00:20:57.379
 at being

00:20:57.379 --> 00:20:57.799
 an accountant

00:20:57.799 --> 00:20:58.700
 but I remember

00:20:58.700 --> 00:20:59.259
 when I was

00:20:59.259 --> 00:20:59.720
 younger

00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:02.200
 and for those

00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:02.460
 of you

00:21:02.460 --> 00:21:02.859
 who are under

00:21:02.859 --> 00:21:03.180
 the age

00:21:03.180 --> 00:21:03.619
 of 40

00:21:03.619 --> 00:21:04.139
 you're just

00:21:04.139 --> 00:21:04.379
 going to

00:21:04.379 --> 00:21:04.639
 have to

00:21:04.639 --> 00:21:05.000
 imagine

00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:05.359
 that this

00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:05.839
 is true

00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:06.619
 but when

00:21:06.619 --> 00:21:06.920
 you used

00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:07.119
 to get

00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:07.480
 a bank

00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:07.799
 statement

00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:08.160
 in the

00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:08.440
 mail

00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:09.539
 right

00:21:09.539 --> 00:21:10.599
 some of

00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:10.859
 you still

00:21:10.859 --> 00:21:11.180
 get that

00:21:11.180 --> 00:21:11.779
 on the

00:21:11.779 --> 00:21:12.740
 back page

00:21:12.740 --> 00:21:13.480
 there was

00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:14.259
 a blank

00:21:14.259 --> 00:21:14.980
 chart

00:21:14.980 --> 00:21:15.819
 and you know

00:21:15.819 --> 00:21:16.220
 what you did

00:21:16.220 --> 00:21:16.539
 with that

00:21:16.539 --> 00:21:16.880
 chart

00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:17.720
 you wrote

00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:18.400
 down all

00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:18.700
 of the

00:21:18.700 --> 00:21:20.140
 withdrawals

00:21:20.140 --> 00:21:20.380
 and all

00:21:20.380 --> 00:21:20.819
 the checks

00:21:20.819 --> 00:21:21.360
 you wrote

00:21:21.360 --> 00:21:22.400
 and then

00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:23.519
 you checked

00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:24.240
 the math

00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:25.259
 to reconcile

00:21:25.259 --> 00:21:27.259
 your accounting

00:21:27.259 --> 00:21:28.140
 with the

00:21:28.140 --> 00:21:29.039
 bank's accounting

00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:30.140
 to make sure

00:21:30.140 --> 00:21:30.579
 that it was

00:21:30.579 --> 00:21:31.380
 brought back

00:21:31.380 --> 00:21:32.920
 to a proper

00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:34.039
 orientation

00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:35.180
 right

00:21:35.180 --> 00:21:36.940
 the idea

00:21:36.940 --> 00:21:37.400
 is that the

00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:37.900
 bank makes

00:21:37.900 --> 00:21:38.480
 mistakes

00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:39.339
 and sometimes

00:21:39.339 --> 00:21:39.900
 they count

00:21:39.900 --> 00:21:40.240
 wrong

00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:41.220
 and to have

00:21:41.220 --> 00:21:42.160
 an unreconciled

00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:42.779
 account is to

00:21:42.779 --> 00:21:43.299
 not know

00:21:43.299 --> 00:21:43.920
 whether it's

00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:44.519
 actually been

00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:45.000
 made right

00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:45.559
 or not

00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:46.339
 and it's

00:21:46.339 --> 00:21:46.740
 out of

00:21:46.740 --> 00:21:47.220
 joint

00:21:47.220 --> 00:21:50.079
 and to

00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:50.519
 reconcile

00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:51.220
 it is to

00:21:51.220 --> 00:21:52.039
 make sure

00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:52.779
 that it's

00:21:52.779 --> 00:21:53.659
 brought back

00:21:53.659 --> 00:21:54.519
 to its

00:21:54.519 --> 00:21:55.399
 proper place

00:21:55.399 --> 00:21:55.720
 and its

00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:56.460
 proper order

00:21:56.460 --> 00:21:57.500
 now clearly

00:21:57.500 --> 00:21:58.019
 some of you

00:21:58.019 --> 00:21:58.379
 who are

00:21:58.379 --> 00:21:58.980
 accountants

00:21:58.980 --> 00:21:59.919
 I just

00:21:59.919 --> 00:22:00.579
 mangled that

00:22:00.579 --> 00:22:01.139
 pretty badly

00:22:01.139 --> 00:22:02.079
 but that's

00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:02.740
 the idea

00:22:02.740 --> 00:22:04.119
 the idea

00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:04.639
 is that

00:22:04.639 --> 00:22:05.819
 by reconciling

00:22:05.819 --> 00:22:06.200
 accounts

00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:06.579
 you have

00:22:06.579 --> 00:22:07.059
 two things

00:22:07.059 --> 00:22:07.440
 you're making

00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:08.179
 sure this

00:22:08.179 --> 00:22:08.740
 is like

00:22:08.740 --> 00:22:09.259
 this

00:22:09.259 --> 00:22:10.240
 and it's

00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:10.500
 meant

00:22:10.500 --> 00:22:10.899
 the way

00:22:10.899 --> 00:22:11.179
 it's

00:22:11.179 --> 00:22:11.440
 meant

00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:11.960
 to be

00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:12.919
 and you're

00:22:12.919 --> 00:22:13.319
 bringing them

00:22:13.319 --> 00:22:14.059
 back into

00:22:14.059 --> 00:22:14.659
 harmony

00:22:14.659 --> 00:22:15.099
 and to

00:22:15.099 --> 00:22:15.839
 rightness

00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:17.119
 and this

00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:17.539
 is what

00:22:17.539 --> 00:22:18.000
 God

00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:19.179
 is doing

00:22:19.179 --> 00:22:20.179
 with the

00:22:20.179 --> 00:22:20.639
 world

00:22:20.639 --> 00:22:25.619
 he does

00:22:25.619 --> 00:22:26.019
 this

00:22:26.019 --> 00:22:26.699
 look with

00:22:26.699 --> 00:22:27.099
 me again

00:22:27.099 --> 00:22:27.559
 in verses

00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:28.759
 19 and

00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:29.119
 20

00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:31.000
 right

00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:33.139
 he does

00:22:33.139 --> 00:22:33.599
 this by

00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:34.339
 being the

00:22:34.339 --> 00:22:34.740
 one in

00:22:34.740 --> 00:22:35.199
 whom the

00:22:35.199 --> 00:22:35.819
 fullness of

00:22:35.819 --> 00:22:36.139
 God

00:22:36.139 --> 00:22:37.619
 dwells

00:22:37.619 --> 00:22:40.139
 and doing

00:22:40.139 --> 00:22:40.559
 this

00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:41.139
 as you

00:22:41.139 --> 00:22:41.459
 see at

00:22:41.459 --> 00:22:42.000
 the end

00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:42.959
 of this

00:22:42.959 --> 00:22:43.539
 by making

00:22:43.539 --> 00:22:44.079
 peace

00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:44.339
 through

00:22:44.339 --> 00:22:44.559
 his

00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:44.980
 blood

00:22:44.980 --> 00:22:47.439
 what the

00:22:47.439 --> 00:22:47.679
 Bible

00:22:47.679 --> 00:22:48.000
 says

00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:48.319
 is the

00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:48.659
 way

00:22:48.659 --> 00:22:48.899
 that

00:22:48.899 --> 00:22:49.240
 God

00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:49.399
 is

00:22:49.399 --> 00:22:49.599
 going

00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:49.779
 to

00:22:49.779 --> 00:22:50.319
 reconcile

00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:50.599
 the

00:22:50.599 --> 00:22:50.859
 whole

00:22:50.859 --> 00:22:51.179
 world

00:22:51.179 --> 00:22:51.379
 to

00:22:51.379 --> 00:22:51.939
 himself

00:22:51.939 --> 00:22:52.939
 is by

00:22:52.939 --> 00:22:53.179
 the

00:22:53.179 --> 00:22:53.500
 death

00:22:53.500 --> 00:22:53.859
 of

00:22:53.859 --> 00:22:54.139
 Jesus

00:22:54.139 --> 00:22:54.740
 Christ

00:22:54.740 --> 00:22:55.879
 on the

00:22:55.879 --> 00:22:56.339
 cross

00:22:56.339 --> 00:22:57.480
 now

00:22:57.480 --> 00:22:57.899
 how

00:22:57.899 --> 00:22:58.279
 in the

00:22:58.279 --> 00:22:58.579
 world

00:22:58.579 --> 00:22:58.939
 does

00:22:58.939 --> 00:22:59.179
 that

00:22:59.179 --> 00:22:59.659
 actually

00:22:59.659 --> 00:23:00.099
 work

00:23:00.099 --> 00:23:01.039
 I'm

00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:01.139
 going to

00:23:01.139 --> 00:23:01.299
 step

00:23:01.299 --> 00:23:01.539
 back

00:23:01.539 --> 00:23:01.779
 and do

00:23:01.779 --> 00:23:02.039
 a little

00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:02.179
 bit

00:23:02.179 --> 00:23:02.279
 of

00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:02.539
 biblical

00:23:02.539 --> 00:23:03.039
 theology

00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:03.299
 so

00:23:03.299 --> 00:23:03.439
 you

00:23:03.439 --> 00:23:03.619
 can

00:23:03.619 --> 00:23:03.859
 think

00:23:03.859 --> 00:23:04.119
 about

00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:04.359
 this

00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:04.859
 in

00:23:04.859 --> 00:23:05.000
 the

00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:05.259
 Bible

00:23:05.259 --> 00:23:05.899
 storyline

00:23:05.899 --> 00:23:06.279
 God

00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:06.779
 created

00:23:06.779 --> 00:23:07.000
 a

00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:07.379
 world

00:23:07.379 --> 00:23:08.099
 and in

00:23:08.099 --> 00:23:08.359
 Genesis

00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:08.720
 1

00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:08.899
 it

00:23:08.899 --> 00:23:09.139
 said

00:23:09.139 --> 00:23:09.279
 that

00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:09.399
 it

00:23:09.399 --> 00:23:09.579
 was

00:23:09.579 --> 00:23:09.879
 all

00:23:09.879 --> 00:23:10.220
 good

00:23:10.220 --> 00:23:10.500
 and at

00:23:10.500 --> 00:23:10.620
 the

00:23:10.620 --> 00:23:10.860
 very

00:23:10.860 --> 00:23:11.100
 end

00:23:11.100 --> 00:23:11.259
 he

00:23:11.259 --> 00:23:11.480
 said

00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:11.600
 it

00:23:11.600 --> 00:23:11.779
 was

00:23:11.779 --> 00:23:12.259
 very

00:23:12.259 --> 00:23:12.700
 good

00:23:12.700 --> 00:23:13.299
 and

00:23:13.299 --> 00:23:13.559
 it

00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:14.319
 was

00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:14.480
 a

00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:15.019
 creation

00:23:15.019 --> 00:23:15.279
 that

00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:15.480
 was

00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:15.740
 in

00:23:15.740 --> 00:23:16.600
 perfect

00:23:16.600 --> 00:23:17.299
 alignment

00:23:17.299 --> 00:23:18.259
 with

00:23:18.259 --> 00:23:18.720
 God

00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:19.079
 and with

00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:19.259
 his

00:23:19.259 --> 00:23:19.680
 purposes

00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:20.100
 and it

00:23:20.100 --> 00:23:20.680
 reflected

00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:20.980
 his

00:23:20.980 --> 00:23:21.420
 glory

00:23:21.420 --> 00:23:21.620
 in

00:23:21.620 --> 00:23:21.940
 every

00:23:21.940 --> 00:23:22.160
 way

00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:22.720
 possible

00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:24.920
 and

00:23:24.920 --> 00:23:25.160
 just

00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:25.480
 as a

00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:25.720
 side

00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:25.880
 note

00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:26.039
 I

00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:26.220
 think

00:23:26.220 --> 00:23:26.380
 that

00:23:26.380 --> 00:23:26.559
 we

00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:26.839
 have

00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:27.559
 so

00:23:27.559 --> 00:23:28.299
 little

00:23:28.299 --> 00:23:28.920
 imagination

00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:29.420
 to

00:23:29.420 --> 00:23:29.660
 think

00:23:29.660 --> 00:23:29.799
 of

00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:30.100
 how

00:23:30.100 --> 00:23:30.259
 it

00:23:30.259 --> 00:23:30.440
 would

00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:30.759
 be

00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:31.420
 to

00:23:31.420 --> 00:23:31.680
 live

00:23:31.680 --> 00:23:31.779
 in

00:23:31.779 --> 00:23:31.940
 a

00:23:31.940 --> 00:23:32.200
 world

00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:32.480
 where

00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:32.860
 sin

00:23:32.860 --> 00:23:33.220
 was

00:23:33.220 --> 00:23:33.620
 not

00:23:33.619 --> 00:23:35.819
 we

00:23:35.819 --> 00:23:35.939
 have

00:23:35.939 --> 00:23:36.079
 a

00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:36.379
 hard

00:23:36.379 --> 00:23:36.639
 time

00:23:36.639 --> 00:23:37.219
 imagining

00:23:37.219 --> 00:23:37.519
 how

00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:38.159
 beautiful

00:23:38.159 --> 00:23:38.539
 and

00:23:38.539 --> 00:23:38.979
 perfect

00:23:38.979 --> 00:23:39.559
 it

00:23:39.559 --> 00:23:39.759
 was

00:23:39.759 --> 00:23:39.939
 we

00:23:39.939 --> 00:23:40.219
 think

00:23:40.219 --> 00:23:40.459
 about

00:23:40.459 --> 00:23:40.799
 worlds

00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:41.019
 like

00:23:41.019 --> 00:23:41.239
 that

00:23:41.239 --> 00:23:41.379
 and

00:23:41.379 --> 00:23:41.819
 we

00:23:41.819 --> 00:23:42.179
 often

00:23:42.179 --> 00:23:42.419
 have

00:23:42.419 --> 00:23:42.939
 very

00:23:42.939 --> 00:23:43.419
 warped

00:23:43.419 --> 00:23:43.839
 pictures

00:23:43.839 --> 00:23:44.119
 of

00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:44.299
 it

00:23:44.299 --> 00:23:45.959
 where

00:23:45.959 --> 00:23:46.119
 it

00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:46.359
 feels

00:23:46.359 --> 00:23:46.599
 very

00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:47.000
 vanilla

00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:47.379
 and

00:23:47.379 --> 00:23:47.779
 bland

00:23:47.779 --> 00:23:48.219
 and

00:23:48.219 --> 00:23:48.419
 there

00:23:48.419 --> 00:23:48.500
 are

00:23:48.500 --> 00:23:48.659
 sort

00:23:48.659 --> 00:23:48.759
 of

00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:49.219
 clouds

00:23:49.219 --> 00:23:49.579
 and

00:23:49.579 --> 00:23:49.879
 people

00:23:49.879 --> 00:23:50.059
 in

00:23:50.059 --> 00:23:50.259
 long

00:23:50.259 --> 00:23:50.519
 white

00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:50.939
 things

00:23:50.939 --> 00:23:51.199
 and

00:23:51.199 --> 00:23:51.679
 it

00:23:51.679 --> 00:23:51.879
 just

00:23:51.879 --> 00:23:52.179
 feels

00:23:52.179 --> 00:23:52.479
 very

00:23:52.479 --> 00:23:53.379
 unattractive

00:23:53.379 --> 00:23:54.079
 but

00:23:54.079 --> 00:23:54.359
 that's

00:23:54.359 --> 00:23:54.539
 not

00:23:54.539 --> 00:23:54.739
 the

00:23:54.739 --> 00:23:55.039
 picture

00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:55.239
 at

00:23:55.239 --> 00:23:55.599
 all

00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:56.359
 because

00:23:56.359 --> 00:23:56.619
 God

00:23:56.619 --> 00:23:57.079
 created

00:23:57.079 --> 00:23:57.319
 a

00:23:57.319 --> 00:23:57.539
 world

00:23:57.539 --> 00:23:57.719
 that

00:23:57.719 --> 00:23:57.859
 was

00:23:57.859 --> 00:23:58.079
 full

00:23:58.079 --> 00:23:58.239
 of

00:23:58.239 --> 00:23:58.639
 life

00:23:58.639 --> 00:23:59.099
 and

00:23:59.099 --> 00:23:59.579
 abundance

00:25:11.259 --> 00:25:11.799
 so

00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:12.639
 as

00:25:12.639 --> 00:25:13.240
 sin

00:25:16.199 --> 00:25:17.119
 then

00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:17.500
 according

00:25:17.500 --> 00:25:17.759
 to

 Romans

00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:18.419
 8

00:25:18.419 --> 00:25:19.000
 corrupted

00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:19.679
 all

00:25:19.679 --> 00:25:19.879
 of

00:25:28.259 --> 00:25:28.840
 this

00:25:28.840 --> 00:25:29.000
 is

00:25:30.819 --> 00:25:31.000
 in

 don't

00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:37.299
 the

 way

00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:37.620
 we

 ought

 are

 Paul wants

 this

00:28:48.060 --> 00:28:48.640
 passage

00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:52.120
 see

00:28:52.120 --> 00:28:52.360

00:28:52.360 --> 00:28:52.700
 wrestle

00:28:52.700 --> 00:28:53.019
 with

 the

00:28:59.159 --> 00:28:59.500
 with

00:28:59.500 --> 00:29:00.619
 why

00:29:00.619 --> 00:29:00.980
 can't

00:29:00.980 --> 00:29:01.199
 God

00:29:01.199 --> 00:29:01.519
 just

00:29:01.519 --> 00:29:01.879
 fix

00:29:01.879 --> 00:29:02.119
 it

00:29:02.119 --> 00:29:05.639
 why

00:29:05.639 --> 00:29:05.959
 hasn't

00:29:05.959 --> 00:29:06.119
 he

00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:06.379
 just

00:29:06.379 --> 00:29:06.699
 snapped

00:29:06.699 --> 00:29:06.919
 his

00:29:06.919 --> 00:29:07.220
 fingers

00:29:07.220 --> 00:29:07.459
 and

 that

 wrong

00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:08.619
 right

00:29:08.619 --> 00:29:09.419
 why

 cured

00:29:10.220 --> 00:29:10.619
 that

 with

 a

 God

 God

00:29:20.259 --> 00:29:20.439
 is

00:30:06.579 --> 00:30:07.059
 redeem

00:30:07.059 --> 00:30:07.539
 us

00:30:07.539 --> 00:30:08.659
 so

00:30:08.659 --> 00:30:08.879
 that

00:30:08.879 --> 00:30:09.439
 then

00:30:09.439 --> 00:30:10.019
 through

00:30:10.019 --> 00:30:10.379
 this

00:30:10.379 --> 00:30:10.740
 church

00:30:10.740 --> 00:30:10.939
 and

00:30:10.939 --> 00:30:11.299
 through

00:30:11.299 --> 00:30:11.579
 his

00:30:11.579 --> 00:30:12.200
 resurrection

00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:12.619
 from

00:30:12.619 --> 00:30:12.799
 the

00:30:12.799 --> 00:30:13.139
 dead

00:30:13.139 --> 00:30:14.240
 he

00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:14.480
 might

00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:14.720
 now

00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:15.119
 bring

00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:15.500
 us

00:30:15.500 --> 00:30:16.519
 into

00:30:16.519 --> 00:30:16.859
 this

00:30:16.859 --> 00:30:17.319
 new

00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:17.839
 hope

00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:18.720
 and

00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:18.919
 this

00:30:18.919 --> 00:30:19.200
 new

00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:19.819
 place

00:30:19.819 --> 00:30:23.960
 where

00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:24.559
 this

00:30:24.559 --> 00:30:24.839
 fallen

00:30:24.839 --> 00:30:25.179
 world

00:30:25.179 --> 00:30:25.579
 doesn't

00:30:25.579 --> 00:30:25.839
 have

00:30:25.839 --> 00:30:26.039
 the

00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:26.519
 last

00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:26.980
 word

00:30:26.980 --> 00:30:27.720
 where

00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:28.000
 what

00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:28.200
 is

00:30:28.200 --> 00:30:28.779
 wrong

00:30:28.779 --> 00:30:29.519
 isn't

00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:29.720
 going

00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:29.899
 to

00:30:29.899 --> 00:30:30.339
 continue

00:30:30.339 --> 00:30:30.599
 to

00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:30.819
 be

00:30:30.819 --> 00:30:31.159
 more

00:30:31.159 --> 00:30:31.599
 wrong

00:30:31.599 --> 00:30:32.179
 forever

00:30:32.179 --> 00:30:35.679
 but

00:30:35.679 --> 00:30:36.119
 because

00:30:36.119 --> 00:30:36.539
 Christ

00:30:36.539 --> 00:30:37.000
 came

00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:37.179
 and

00:30:37.179 --> 00:30:37.399
 lived

00:30:37.399 --> 00:30:37.599
 and

00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:37.819
 died

00:30:37.819 --> 00:30:38.039
 and

00:30:38.039 --> 00:30:38.259
 rose

00:30:38.259 --> 00:30:38.599
 again

00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:39.240
 we

00:30:39.240 --> 00:30:39.759
 know

00:30:39.759 --> 00:30:40.619
 that

00:30:40.619 --> 00:30:40.960
 that's

00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:41.159
 not

00:30:41.159 --> 00:30:41.359
 the

00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:41.539
 end

00:30:41.539 --> 00:30:41.659
 of

00:30:41.659 --> 00:30:41.819
 the

00:30:41.819 --> 00:30:42.279
 story

00:30:42.279 --> 00:30:47.079
 look

00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:47.460
 friends

00:30:47.460 --> 00:30:47.859
 Christ

00:30:47.859 --> 00:30:48.119
 is

00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:48.359
 or

00:30:48.359 --> 00:30:48.619
 God

00:30:48.619 --> 00:30:48.779
 is

00:30:48.779 --> 00:30:48.939
 not

00:30:48.939 --> 00:30:49.279
 sitting

00:30:49.279 --> 00:30:49.480
 up

00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:49.639
 in

00:30:49.639 --> 00:30:49.940
 heaven

00:30:49.940 --> 00:30:51.019
 bemoaning

00:30:51.019 --> 00:30:51.980
 the

00:30:51.980 --> 00:30:52.399
 world

00:30:52.399 --> 00:30:54.200
 wondering

00:30:54.200 --> 00:30:54.799
 oh

00:30:54.799 --> 00:30:55.059
 I

00:30:55.059 --> 00:30:55.220
 don't

00:30:55.220 --> 00:30:55.460
 know

00:30:55.460 --> 00:30:55.759
 maybe

00:30:55.759 --> 00:30:55.940
 I

00:30:55.940 --> 00:30:56.099
 can

00:30:56.099 --> 00:30:56.299
 try

00:30:56.299 --> 00:30:56.480
 to

00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:56.720
 fix

00:30:56.720 --> 00:30:56.980
 this

00:30:56.980 --> 00:30:57.200
 it's

00:30:57.200 --> 00:30:57.379
 a

00:30:57.379 --> 00:30:57.500
 little

00:30:57.500 --> 00:30:57.920
 hard

00:30:57.920 --> 00:31:00.660
 he's

00:31:00.660 --> 00:31:00.839
 not

00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:01.139
 looking

00:31:01.139 --> 00:31:01.279
 at

00:31:01.279 --> 00:31:01.420
 the

00:31:01.420 --> 00:31:01.759
 trials

00:31:01.759 --> 00:31:01.960
 in

00:31:01.960 --> 00:31:02.200
 your

00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:02.700
 life

00:31:02.700 --> 00:31:03.079
 and

00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:03.339
 saying

00:31:03.339 --> 00:31:03.700
 oh

00:31:03.700 --> 00:31:03.960
 I

00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:04.119
 don't

00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:04.399
 know

00:31:04.399 --> 00:31:04.980
 that's

00:31:04.980 --> 00:31:05.200
 really

00:31:05.200 --> 00:31:05.500
 hard

00:31:05.500 --> 00:31:05.660
 I

00:31:05.660 --> 00:31:05.779
 don't

00:31:05.779 --> 00:31:05.920
 know

00:31:05.920 --> 00:31:06.039
 how

00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:06.139
 to

00:31:06.139 --> 00:31:06.299
 give

00:31:06.299 --> 00:31:06.420
 him

00:31:06.420 --> 00:31:06.559
 a

00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:06.879
 job

00:31:06.879 --> 00:31:08.519
 I

00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:08.740
 know

00:31:08.740 --> 00:31:08.980
 you're

00:31:08.980 --> 00:31:09.319
 lonely

00:31:09.319 --> 00:31:09.920
 sorry

00:31:09.920 --> 00:31:10.139
 I

00:31:10.139 --> 00:31:10.339
 can't

00:31:10.339 --> 00:31:10.460
 do

00:31:10.460 --> 00:31:10.700
 anything

00:31:10.700 --> 00:31:11.079
 about

00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:11.480
 that

00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:12.440
 God

00:31:12.440 --> 00:31:12.619
 is

00:31:12.619 --> 00:31:13.220
 not

00:31:13.220 --> 00:31:13.740
 sitting

00:31:13.740 --> 00:31:14.079
 up

00:31:14.079 --> 00:31:15.440
 impotent

00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:17.259
 hoping

00:31:17.259 --> 00:31:17.539
 for

00:31:17.539 --> 00:31:17.759
 us

00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:17.960
 to

00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:18.220
 fix

00:31:18.220 --> 00:31:18.480
 it

00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:19.420
 but

00:31:19.420 --> 00:31:19.539
 he

00:31:19.539 --> 00:31:19.700
 has

00:31:19.700 --> 00:31:20.039
 acted

00:31:20.039 --> 00:31:20.700
 clearly

00:31:20.700 --> 00:31:21.119
 and

00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:21.859
 decisively

00:31:21.859 --> 00:31:22.140
 and

00:31:22.140 --> 00:31:22.759
 powerfully

00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:23.359
 in

00:31:23.359 --> 00:31:23.500
 the

00:31:23.500 --> 00:31:23.819
 person

00:31:23.819 --> 00:31:24.019
 of

00:31:24.019 --> 00:31:24.500
 Christ

00:31:24.500 --> 00:31:26.180
 the

00:31:26.180 --> 00:31:26.700
 creator

00:31:26.700 --> 00:31:27.279
 dying

00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:27.539
 for

00:31:27.539 --> 00:31:27.740
 his

00:31:27.740 --> 00:31:28.339
 creation

00:31:28.339 --> 00:31:29.079
 the

00:31:29.079 --> 00:31:29.480
 righteous

00:31:29.480 --> 00:31:30.019
 one

00:31:30.019 --> 00:31:30.579
 dying

00:31:30.579 --> 00:31:30.879
 for

00:31:30.879 --> 00:31:31.079
 the

00:31:31.079 --> 00:31:31.900
 unrighteous

00:31:31.900 --> 00:31:32.599
 the

00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:32.960
 image

00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:33.140
 of

00:31:33.140 --> 00:31:33.400
 God

00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:33.839
 dying

00:31:33.839 --> 00:31:34.039
 for

00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:34.319
 those

00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:34.839
 created

00:31:34.839 --> 00:31:35.059
 in

00:31:35.059 --> 00:31:35.200
 the

00:31:35.200 --> 00:31:35.500
 image

00:31:35.500 --> 00:31:35.680
 of

00:31:35.680 --> 00:31:35.900
 God

00:31:35.900 --> 00:31:36.099
 by

00:31:36.099 --> 00:31:36.480
 pouring

00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:36.720
 out

00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:36.900
 his

00:31:36.900 --> 00:31:37.319
 life

00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:37.519
 and

00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:37.900
 death

00:31:37.900 --> 00:31:38.440
 he

00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:38.920
 frees

00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:39.099
 us

00:31:39.099 --> 00:31:39.299
 from

00:31:39.299 --> 00:31:39.720
 death

00:31:39.720 --> 00:31:39.940
 by

00:31:39.940 --> 00:31:40.400
 rising

00:31:40.400 --> 00:31:40.660
 from

 dead

00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:41.640
 he

00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:42.119
 breaks

00:31:42.119 --> 00:31:42.339
 the

00:31:42.339 --> 00:31:42.700
 power

00:31:42.700 --> 00:31:43.079
 of sin

00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:43.259
 and

00:31:43.259 --> 00:31:43.480
 death

00:31:43.480 --> 00:31:43.660
 by

 dead

00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:50.660
 he

00:31:50.660 --> 00:31:51.039
 makes

00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:51.359
 us

00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:51.799
 as we

00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:52.000
 see

00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:52.259
 at the

00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:54.519
 holy

00:31:54.519 --> 00:31:54.940
 and

00:31:54.940 --> 00:31:55.640
 blameless

00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:58.299
 as we

00:31:58.299 --> 00:31:58.519
 saw

00:31:58.519 --> 00:31:58.900
 last

00:31:58.900 --> 00:31:59.140
 week

00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:01.759
 qualifying

00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:02.440
 us

00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:03.460
 to

00:32:03.460 --> 00:32:03.940
 join

00:32:03.940 --> 00:32:04.160
 in

00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:04.279
 the

00:32:16.859 --> 00:32:17.000
 it

00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:17.160
 is

00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:17.359
 the

00:32:17.359 --> 00:32:17.799
 center

00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:18.299
 piece

00:32:18.299 --> 00:32:19.039
 of

00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:19.219
 what

00:32:19.219 --> 00:32:19.479
 God

00:32:19.479 --> 00:32:19.679
 is

00:32:19.679 --> 00:32:20.059
 doing

00:32:20.059 --> 00:32:21.019
 and

00:32:21.019 --> 00:32:21.219
 how

00:32:21.219 --> 00:32:21.419
 we

00:32:21.419 --> 00:32:21.599
 can

00:32:21.599 --> 00:32:21.959
 endure

00:32:21.959 --> 00:32:22.259
 when

00:32:22.259 --> 00:32:22.439
 it

00:32:22.439 --> 00:32:22.779
 feels

00:32:22.779 --> 00:32:23.059
 like

00:32:23.059 --> 00:32:23.439
 things

00:32:23.439 --> 00:32:24.019
 are

00:32:24.019 --> 00:32:24.339
 falling

00:32:24.339 --> 00:32:24.759
 apart

00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:25.279
 and

00:32:25.279 --> 00:32:25.519
 how

 we

00:32:26.699 --> 00:32:27.059
 feels

00:32:27.059 --> 00:32:27.519
 like

00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:28.740
 it's

00:32:28.740 --> 00:32:28.939
 all

00:32:28.939 --> 00:32:29.299
 going

00:32:29.299 --> 00:32:29.819
 wrong

00:32:29.819 --> 00:32:31.519
 we

00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:31.859
 look

00:32:31.859 --> 00:32:32.000
 at

00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:32.119
 the

00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:32.619
 cross

00:32:32.619 --> 00:32:33.240
 and

 we

00:32:33.359 --> 00:32:33.639
 look

00:32:33.639 --> 00:32:33.759
 at

 the

00:32:33.879 --> 00:32:34.139
 empty

00:32:34.139 --> 00:32:34.599
 tomb

00:32:34.599 --> 00:32:34.799
 and

00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:34.959
 we

00:32:34.959 --> 00:32:35.259
 look

00:32:35.259 --> 00:32:35.399
 at

00:32:35.399 --> 00:32:35.559
 the

00:32:35.559 --> 00:32:36.039
 person

00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:36.579
 of

00:32:36.579 --> 00:32:36.899
 Jesus

00:32:36.899 --> 00:32:37.479
 Christ

00:32:37.479 --> 00:32:38.319
 and

00:32:38.319 --> 00:32:38.500
 we

00:32:38.500 --> 00:32:38.759
 know

00:32:38.759 --> 00:32:38.959
 that

00:32:38.959 --> 00:32:39.159
 the

00:32:39.159 --> 00:32:39.659
 greatness

00:32:39.659 --> 00:32:39.959
 of

00:32:39.959 --> 00:32:40.179
 what

00:32:40.179 --> 00:32:40.500
 he

00:32:40.500 --> 00:32:40.779
 has

00:32:40.779 --> 00:32:41.279
 done

00:32:41.279 --> 00:32:43.219
 outweighs

00:32:43.219 --> 00:32:43.539
 what

00:32:43.539 --> 00:32:43.779
 we

00:32:43.779 --> 00:32:44.339
 see

00:32:44.339 --> 00:32:45.279
 and

00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:45.479
 what

00:32:45.479 --> 00:32:45.679
 we

00:32:45.679 --> 00:32:46.240
 fear

00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:51.599
 this

00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:51.819
 is

00:32:51.819 --> 00:32:52.159
 why

00:32:52.159 --> 00:32:52.359
 in

00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:52.659
 verses

00:32:52.659 --> 00:32:53.919
 21

00:32:53.919 --> 00:32:54.139
 through

00:32:54.139 --> 00:32:54.719
 23

00:32:54.719 --> 00:32:55.699
 he

00:32:55.699 --> 00:32:56.079
 says

00:32:56.079 --> 00:32:56.259
 and

00:32:56.259 --> 00:32:56.539
 you

00:32:56.539 --> 00:32:56.759
 who

00:32:56.759 --> 00:32:56.899
 were

00:32:56.899 --> 00:32:57.199
 once

00:32:57.199 --> 00:32:57.879
 alienated

00:32:57.879 --> 00:32:58.079
 and

00:32:58.079 --> 00:32:58.459
 hostile

00:32:58.459 --> 00:32:58.659
 in

00:32:58.659 --> 00:32:59.059
 mind

00:32:59.059 --> 00:32:59.859
 doing

00:32:59.859 --> 00:33:00.240
 evil

00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:00.679
 deeds

00:33:00.679 --> 00:33:00.879
 he

00:33:00.879 --> 00:33:01.059
 is

00:33:01.059 --> 00:33:01.240
 now

00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:02.099
 reconciled

00:33:02.099 --> 00:33:02.240
 in

00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:02.399
 his

00:33:02.399 --> 00:33:02.799
 body

00:33:02.799 --> 00:33:03.399
 of

00:33:03.399 --> 00:33:03.719
 flesh

00:33:03.719 --> 00:33:03.959
 by

00:33:03.959 --> 00:33:04.199
 his

00:33:04.199 --> 00:33:04.559
 death

00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:04.719
 in

00:33:04.719 --> 00:33:04.879
 order

00:33:04.879 --> 00:33:05.099
 to

00:33:05.099 --> 00:33:05.419
 present

00:33:05.419 --> 00:33:05.779
 you

00:33:05.779 --> 00:33:06.559
 holy

00:33:06.559 --> 00:33:06.859
 and

00:33:06.859 --> 00:33:07.359
 blameless

00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:07.759
 and

00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:08.039
 above

00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:08.539
 reproach

00:33:08.539 --> 00:33:08.979
 before

00:33:08.979 --> 00:33:09.359
 him

00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:10.059
 if

00:33:10.059 --> 00:33:10.419
 indeed

00:33:10.419 --> 00:33:10.639
 you

00:33:10.639 --> 00:33:11.159
 continue

00:33:11.159 --> 00:33:11.459
 in

00:33:11.459 --> 00:33:11.619
 the

00:33:11.619 --> 00:33:12.000
 faith

00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:13.039
 stable

00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:13.359
 and

00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:14.039
 steadfast

00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:14.359
 not

00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:15.199
 shifting

00:33:15.199 --> 00:33:16.139
 from

00:33:16.139 --> 00:33:16.379
 the

00:33:16.379 --> 00:33:16.740
 hope

00:33:16.740 --> 00:33:17.299
 of

00:33:17.299 --> 00:33:17.460
 the

00:33:17.460 --> 00:33:17.799
 gospel

00:33:17.799 --> 00:33:18.059
 that

00:33:18.059 --> 00:33:18.220
 you

00:33:18.220 --> 00:33:18.440
 have

00:33:18.440 --> 00:33:18.799
 heard

00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:21.480
 friends

00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:21.919
 this

00:33:21.919 --> 00:33:22.559
 is

00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:22.779
 the

00:33:22.779 --> 00:33:23.200
 gospel

00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:24.599
 what

00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:24.919
 Paul

00:33:24.919 --> 00:33:25.139
 is

00:33:25.139 --> 00:33:25.419
 saying

00:33:25.419 --> 00:33:25.639
 is

00:33:25.639 --> 00:33:26.259
 do

00:33:26.259 --> 00:33:26.500
 not

00:33:26.500 --> 00:33:26.700
 be

00:33:26.700 --> 00:33:27.299
 afraid

00:33:27.299 --> 00:33:28.940
 of

00:33:28.940 --> 00:33:29.159
 what

00:33:29.159 --> 00:33:29.339
 is

00:33:29.339 --> 00:33:29.639
 out

00:33:29.639 --> 00:33:30.159
 there

00:33:30.159 --> 00:33:30.859
 that

00:33:30.859 --> 00:33:31.220
 seems

00:33:31.220 --> 00:33:31.500
 so

00:33:31.500 --> 00:33:31.940
 hard

00:33:31.940 --> 00:33:33.180
 because

00:33:33.180 --> 00:33:33.619
 you

00:33:33.619 --> 00:33:34.079
 know

 God

00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:36.259
 has

00:33:36.259 --> 00:33:36.460
 done

00:33:36.460 --> 00:33:36.639
 in

00:33:36.639 --> 00:33:36.960
 your

00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:37.440
 life

00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:38.200
 for

00:33:38.200 --> 00:33:38.460
 you

00:33:38.460 --> 00:33:38.819
 for

00:33:38.819 --> 00:33:39.119
 those

00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:39.279
 of

00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:39.419
 you

00:33:39.419 --> 00:33:39.639
 who

00:33:39.639 --> 00:33:39.839
 have

00:33:39.839 --> 00:33:40.279
 placed

00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:40.480
 your

00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:40.700
 faith

00:33:40.700 --> 00:33:40.859
 in

00:33:40.859 --> 00:33:41.079
 Jesus

00:33:41.079 --> 00:33:41.480
 Christ

00:33:41.480 --> 00:33:42.139
 you

00:33:42.139 --> 00:33:42.399
 know

00:33:42.399 --> 00:33:42.619
 what

00:33:42.619 --> 00:33:42.879
 he's

00:33:42.879 --> 00:33:43.220
 done

00:33:43.220 --> 00:33:45.079
 he's

00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:45.259
 died

00:33:45.259 --> 00:33:45.539
 on the

00:33:45.539 --> 00:33:45.819
 cross

00:33:45.819 --> 00:33:46.019
 for

00:33:46.019 --> 00:33:46.220
 your

00:33:46.220 --> 00:33:46.500
 sin

00:33:46.500 --> 00:33:47.619
 and if

00:33:47.619 --> 00:33:48.019
 God

00:33:48.019 --> 00:33:48.259
 could

00:33:48.259 --> 00:33:48.740
 reconcile

00:33:48.740 --> 00:33:49.420
 you

00:33:49.420 --> 00:33:51.400
 and all

00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:51.579
 the

00:33:51.579 --> 00:33:52.039
 ugliness

00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:52.500
 of your

00:33:52.500 --> 00:33:52.900
 heart

00:33:52.900 --> 00:33:54.339
 and all

00:33:54.339 --> 00:33:55.039
 the rebellion

00:33:55.039 --> 00:33:55.619
 of your

00:33:55.619 --> 00:33:56.000
 life

00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:57.480
 and all

00:33:57.480 --> 00:33:58.119
 the evil

00:33:58.119 --> 00:33:58.880
 that still

00:33:58.880 --> 00:33:59.819
 rises up

00:33:59.819 --> 00:34:00.599
 in your

00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:01.000
 body

00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:01.940
 if he

00:34:01.940 --> 00:34:02.779
 can reconcile

00:34:02.779 --> 00:34:03.519
 you

00:34:03.519 --> 00:34:04.000
 and make

00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:04.420
 you

00:34:04.420 --> 00:34:04.879
 and make

00:34:04.879 --> 00:34:06.220
 you

00:34:06.220 --> 00:34:07.240
 don't

00:34:07.240 --> 00:34:07.379
 you

00:34:07.379 --> 00:34:07.599

 you

00:34:07.740 --> 00:34:07.920
 can

 trust

00:34:08.219 --> 00:34:08.420
 him

00:34:08.420 --> 00:34:08.599
 for

00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:08.739
 the

00:34:08.739 --> 00:34:09.119
 world

 you

00:34:10.500 --> 00:34:10.699

 you

00:34:10.860 --> 00:34:11.039
 can

00:34:11.380 --> 00:34:11.699
 him

00:34:11.699 --> 00:34:12.340
 for

00:34:12.340 --> 00:34:12.539
 the

00:34:12.539 --> 00:34:12.800
 shape

00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:12.960
 of

00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:13.119
 your

00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:13.619
 life

00:34:13.619 --> 00:34:14.300
 don't

00:34:14.300 --> 00:34:14.440
 you

00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:14.659
 think

00:34:14.659 --> 00:34:14.900
 that

00:34:14.900 --> 00:34:15.139
 if

00:34:15.139 --> 00:34:15.320
 he

00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:15.539
 can

00:34:15.539 --> 00:34:15.960
 rescue

00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:16.400
 you

00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:18.519
 he

00:34:18.519 --> 00:34:18.679
 can

00:34:18.679 --> 00:34:19.000
 rescue

00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:19.239
 the

00:34:19.239 --> 00:34:19.699
 world

00:34:19.699 --> 00:34:21.719
 if

00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:21.800
 he

00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:21.960
 can

00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:22.239
 turn

00:34:22.239 --> 00:34:22.579
 you

00:34:22.579 --> 00:34:22.840
 from

00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:23.159
 evil

00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:23.619
 deeds

00:34:23.619 --> 00:34:24.980
 don't

00:34:24.980 --> 00:34:25.119
 you

00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:25.320
 think

00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:25.500
 he

00:34:25.500 --> 00:34:25.739
 can

00:34:25.739 --> 00:34:26.539
 transform

00:34:26.539 --> 00:34:27.219
 this

00:34:27.219 --> 00:34:28.159
 ugly

00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:28.679
 world

00:34:28.679 --> 00:34:31.960
 and reconcile

00:34:31.960 --> 00:34:32.500
 it to

00:34:32.500 --> 00:34:33.019
 himself

00:34:33.019 --> 00:34:34.039
 for

00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:34.279
 his

00:34:34.279 --> 00:34:34.679
 glory

00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:38.859
 now look

00:34:38.859 --> 00:34:39.179
 friends

00:34:39.179 --> 00:34:39.659
 I know

00:34:39.659 --> 00:34:41.299
 one of the

00:34:41.299 --> 00:34:41.919
 questions we

00:34:41.919 --> 00:34:42.500
 wrestle with

00:34:42.500 --> 00:34:42.859
 is why

00:34:42.859 --> 00:34:43.299
 hasn't

00:34:43.299 --> 00:34:43.500
 he

00:34:43.500 --> 00:34:45.179
 why

00:34:45.179 --> 00:34:45.480
 hasn't

00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:45.619
 he

00:34:45.619 --> 00:34:45.980
 yet

00:34:45.980 --> 00:34:47.440
 why

00:34:47.440 --> 00:34:47.659
 is

00:34:47.659 --> 00:34:47.779
 he

00:34:47.779 --> 00:34:48.179
 waiting

00:34:48.179 --> 00:34:49.859
 when

00:34:49.859 --> 00:34:49.980
 the

00:34:49.980 --> 00:34:50.239
 pain

00:34:50.239 --> 00:34:50.839
 continues

00:34:50.839 --> 00:34:51.179
 and

00:34:51.179 --> 00:34:51.319
 the

00:34:51.319 --> 00:34:51.699
 evil

00:34:51.699 --> 00:34:52.500
 seems

00:34:52.500 --> 00:34:53.179
 unabating

00:34:53.179 --> 00:34:56.019
 that's

00:34:56.019 --> 00:34:56.219
 a whole

00:34:56.219 --> 00:34:56.460
 other

00:34:56.460 --> 00:34:56.779
 sermon

00:34:56.779 --> 00:34:58.419
 but

00:34:58.420 --> 00:34:58.639
 I will

00:34:58.639 --> 00:34:58.900
 say

00:34:58.900 --> 00:34:59.420
 this

00:34:59.420 --> 00:35:00.559
 he's

00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:00.820
 doing

00:35:00.820 --> 00:35:01.019
 it

00:35:01.019 --> 00:35:01.300
 because

00:35:01.300 --> 00:35:01.500
 in

00:35:01.500 --> 00:35:01.639
 the

00:35:01.639 --> 00:35:01.960
 meantime

00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:02.440
 he's

00:35:02.440 --> 00:35:02.800
 saving

00:35:02.800 --> 00:35:03.180
 more

00:35:03.180 --> 00:35:03.340
 of

00:35:03.340 --> 00:35:03.740
 us

00:35:03.740 --> 00:35:07.320
 and

00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:07.460
 in

00:35:07.460 --> 00:35:07.659
 his

00:35:07.659 --> 00:35:08.300
 patience

00:35:08.300 --> 00:35:10.619
 he's

00:35:10.619 --> 00:35:11.099
 longing

00:35:11.099 --> 00:35:11.460
 for

00:35:11.460 --> 00:35:11.680
 his

00:35:11.680 --> 00:35:12.180
 redemption

00:35:12.180 --> 00:35:12.559
 to

00:35:12.559 --> 00:35:12.980
 include

00:35:12.980 --> 00:35:13.519
 more

00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:13.760
 and

00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:14.039
 more

00:35:14.039 --> 00:35:14.340
 women

00:35:14.340 --> 00:35:14.599
 and

00:35:14.599 --> 00:35:14.840
 men

00:35:14.840 --> 00:35:15.800
 and

00:35:15.800 --> 00:35:16.019
 he's

00:35:16.019 --> 00:35:16.440
 building

00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:16.700
 a

00:35:16.700 --> 00:35:17.079
 church

00:35:17.079 --> 00:35:17.380
 that

00:35:17.380 --> 00:35:17.780
 trusts

00:35:17.780 --> 00:35:18.200
 not

00:35:18.200 --> 00:35:19.000
 in

00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:19.740
 themselves

00:35:19.740 --> 00:35:21.820

00:35:21.820 --> 00:35:22.240
 trusts

00:35:22.240 --> 00:35:22.420

00:35:27.099 --> 00:35:27.720
 Christ

00:35:27.719 --> 00:35:28.739

00:35:28.739 --> 00:35:29.099
 he

00:35:29.099 --> 00:35:29.339
 would

00:35:29.339 --> 00:35:29.519
 be
