00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.580
 I bet I'm recording right now. Look at that. But I want to stop.

00:00:05.580 --> 00:00:06.919
 Good morning.

00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:14.740
 Well, I am starting late today, but I'm going to try and start anyway.

00:00:14.740 --> 00:00:27.640
 And let me remind myself where we were last week.

00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:37.679
 We started on a series of lessons about restoring damaged relationships.

00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:42.100
 And if you don't have a handout, let me offer you one.

00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:46.579
 In fact, let me just give those to you and hand them out as you see fit.

00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:48.260
 And you can put them back over there.

00:00:48.700 --> 00:00:51.100
 There are some more handouts in the back, too.

00:00:52.420 --> 00:00:57.000
 And last week, we covered some introductory material.

00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:02.600
 I started looking at the story of Joseph and his brothers.

00:01:03.700 --> 00:01:12.340
 And I spoke of four steps in restoring damaged relationships.

00:01:12.340 --> 00:01:24.340
 And suggested that, though you could talk about that subject of restoring damaged relationships in various ways from a biblical perspective,

00:01:25.100 --> 00:01:29.920
 that this was one way to try and put all the material together.

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:31.920
 And...

00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:34.480
 Hey! Hi, Ben!

00:01:34.579 --> 00:01:34.820
 Hello!

00:01:35.820 --> 00:01:36.500
 Uh...

00:01:36.500 --> 00:01:37.719
 You got the recorder. That's good.

00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:39.760
 I got the recorder from Matt.

00:01:40.099 --> 00:01:41.379
 Excuse me just a moment.

00:01:42.060 --> 00:01:42.920
 And...

00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:45.700
 Shortly, we may have some video.

00:01:46.540 --> 00:01:47.219
 Video.

00:01:47.820 --> 00:01:48.099
 Uh...

00:01:48.099 --> 00:01:49.299
 Just a visual.

00:01:49.299 --> 00:01:49.420
 Cool.

00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:56.280
 And...

00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:02.259
 So we started talking about what I call a first step in restoring damaged relationships.

00:02:02.579 --> 00:02:13.479
 And that is dealing with the anger that people almost always feel when they're in a meaningful relationship

00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:17.739
 and some other person in a relationship hurts them.

00:02:18.739 --> 00:02:19.219
 Uh...

00:02:19.219 --> 00:02:26.339
 It is natural, and I think not necessarily sinful, to get angry as a result.

00:02:26.899 --> 00:02:27.379
 Um...

00:02:27.379 --> 00:02:32.539
 But, I suggested that, uh...

00:02:32.539 --> 00:02:35.620
 We should not stay angry.

00:02:35.620 --> 00:02:38.800
 The Bible tells us to, uh...

00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:41.080
 Renounce anger against, uh...

00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:41.460
 Others.

00:02:42.180 --> 00:02:45.960
 And that that's a first step that we can take ourselves.

00:02:46.379 --> 00:02:47.659
 Whatever the other people are.

00:02:47.920 --> 00:02:49.379
 We can take that step.

00:02:50.140 --> 00:02:55.759
 Now, I didn't provide any opportunity for, uh...

00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:57.980
 Questions last week.

00:02:58.480 --> 00:02:58.960
 Uh...

00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:02.240
 But, two people did ask me questions during the week.

00:03:02.980 --> 00:03:03.480
 Um...

00:03:03.480 --> 00:03:05.480
 And, in fact,

00:03:05.620 --> 00:03:08.259
 The two people both asked the same question.

00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:12.420
 So I thought it would be good to start off with that question

00:03:12.420 --> 00:03:13.780
 and, uh...

00:03:13.780 --> 00:03:17.580
 Give those of you who want to a chance to ask questions at the beginning.

00:03:18.060 --> 00:03:18.939
 And, uh...

00:03:18.939 --> 00:03:20.219
 We'll go on from there.

00:03:21.140 --> 00:03:22.259
 So...

00:03:22.259 --> 00:03:24.259
 The, uh...

00:03:24.259 --> 00:03:30.180
 One person emailed me a question, and I'll read it to you.

00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:31.560
 Um...

00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:33.879
 I did wonder about renouncing anger.

00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:37.139
 What about the case of repeated offenses?

00:03:37.139 --> 00:03:44.240
 Is there a distinction between godly indignation and unrighteous anger?

00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:48.719
 Should godly indignation be, uh...

00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:51.979
 Dispersed with after a few days in all cases?

00:03:51.979 --> 00:03:57.459
 And that statement may be up on the screen sometime soon.

00:03:58.659 --> 00:03:59.259
 Um...

00:03:59.259 --> 00:04:04.000
 Whereas I had said something like this.

00:04:04.839 --> 00:04:08.579
 If you are angry with someone for more than a few days

00:04:08.580 --> 00:04:12.080
 and are not in the process of renouncing anger,

00:04:12.300 --> 00:04:15.820
 then you are probably sinning.

00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:18.540
 Ah, I think we're getting really close.

00:04:20.220 --> 00:04:20.740
 Um...

00:04:20.740 --> 00:04:21.740
 So...

00:04:21.740 --> 00:04:26.420
 Uh...

00:04:26.420 --> 00:04:28.579
 I'll repeat those more or less if you want.

00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:29.240
 If you need it.

00:04:29.280 --> 00:04:30.000
 But what do you think?

00:04:31.420 --> 00:04:32.340
 Uh...

00:04:32.340 --> 00:04:37.000
 Is the statement that I just made again...

00:04:37.699 --> 00:04:38.680
 Uh...

00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:39.639
 Do you think that's biblical?

00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:42.319
 Or do you think it's missing something?

00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:42.879
 Uh...

00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:52.259
 Once again, the person said,

00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:56.040
 I wonder about your treatment of renouncing anger.

00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:57.639
 Um...

00:04:57.639 --> 00:04:58.579
 Is...

00:04:58.579 --> 00:05:00.360
 I'm going to put a cable on your map.

00:05:01.579 --> 00:05:02.379
 Thank you.

00:05:02.719 --> 00:05:03.240
 Thank you.

00:05:03.420 --> 00:05:04.980
 I'll try not to trick over it.

00:05:04.980 --> 00:05:05.180
 Okay.

00:05:06.180 --> 00:05:06.779
 Uh...

00:05:06.779 --> 00:05:09.560
 I'm going to need that closer, I think.

00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:12.879
 Well, um...

00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:14.000
 If you have any thoughts,

00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:15.180
 you can share those.

00:05:15.420 --> 00:05:16.139
 You know what I'm saying.

00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:16.939
 Uh...

00:05:16.939 --> 00:05:18.040
 Or, uh...

00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:19.100
 If you have a different question,

00:05:19.259 --> 00:05:20.759
 you could ask that too.

00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:23.139
 And I'll give you a moment to think.

00:05:23.180 --> 00:05:23.720
 And you know what?

00:05:24.459 --> 00:05:25.060
 Let's pray.

00:05:26.779 --> 00:05:27.759
 Heavenly Father,

00:05:28.180 --> 00:05:30.340
 as we get started this morning,

00:05:30.340 --> 00:05:34.399
 and as we deal with technology,

00:05:35.259 --> 00:05:37.459
 above all, Lord,

00:05:37.459 --> 00:05:39.979
 we want to meet with you.

00:05:42.219 --> 00:05:46.039
 We want to know you better

00:05:46.039 --> 00:05:47.879
 and experience your love

00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:52.560
 and grow up more

00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:54.199
 as your sons and daughters.

00:05:56.679 --> 00:05:59.259
 Help us to follow your example

00:05:59.259 --> 00:06:01.379
 of loving others

00:06:01.379 --> 00:06:04.560
 and being involved in it.

00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:08.139
 reconciling with us.

00:06:12.019 --> 00:06:13.259
 Help us now, Lord,

00:06:13.339 --> 00:06:13.959
 we ask.

00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:15.500
 In Jesus' name.

00:06:16.259 --> 00:06:16.699
 Amen.

00:06:16.699 --> 00:06:16.939
 Amen.

00:06:21.939 --> 00:06:23.879
 Boy, things went so smoothly

00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:25.199
 with this last week.

00:06:25.420 --> 00:06:26.340
 But, uh...

00:06:26.340 --> 00:06:27.740
 That's no guarantee, is it?

00:06:27.779 --> 00:06:29.040
 You know, I would say

00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:30.180
 from one of those questions,

00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:30.579
 you said,

00:06:30.660 --> 00:06:31.160
 biblically,

00:06:31.300 --> 00:06:32.300
 we know that that's what

00:06:32.300 --> 00:06:32.980
 we should do,

00:06:33.100 --> 00:06:34.019
 is reconciliation.

00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:36.360
 But personally, for me,

00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:38.300
 what we should biblically do

00:06:38.300 --> 00:06:40.339
 isn't always what's easiest to do

00:06:40.339 --> 00:06:42.639
 or what my very sinful nature

00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:43.639
 wants to do.

00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:45.540
 So it's one of the hardest things

00:06:45.540 --> 00:06:46.680
 I struggle with

00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:49.819
 because I want to stay indignant

00:06:49.819 --> 00:06:52.259
 that I've been wronged

00:06:52.259 --> 00:06:53.160
 in a relationship.

00:06:53.840 --> 00:06:56.340
 And that person should make

00:06:56.340 --> 00:06:57.379
 the first move,

00:06:57.620 --> 00:06:58.019
 right?

00:06:58.899 --> 00:06:59.920
 The first move

00:06:59.920 --> 00:07:01.120
 to come to me

00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:02.060
 and say,

00:07:02.379 --> 00:07:03.860
 gee, I'm sorry I wronged you.

00:07:03.860 --> 00:07:05.620
 And so it's a really hard thing

00:07:05.620 --> 00:07:07.319
 for me to truly say,

00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:08.800
 I give it up to the Lord

00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:09.500
 and let it go.

00:07:10.939 --> 00:07:11.340
 So,

00:07:11.660 --> 00:07:13.040
 I know I should do it,

00:07:13.540 --> 00:07:14.259
 so it isn't.

00:07:15.259 --> 00:07:16.060
 I know

00:07:16.060 --> 00:07:17.379
 reconciliation

00:07:17.379 --> 00:07:18.639
 is a biblical

00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:20.080
 command,

00:07:20.340 --> 00:07:21.020
 so to speak,

00:07:21.580 --> 00:07:22.060
 but

00:07:22.060 --> 00:07:24.500
 my nature just doesn't

00:07:24.500 --> 00:07:25.840
 want to go there.

00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:27.179
 And

00:07:27.179 --> 00:07:29.239
 I'm just,

00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:30.239
 I think,

00:07:30.539 --> 00:07:31.599
 Kirsten was using

00:07:31.599 --> 00:07:32.079
 the term

00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:33.019
 reconciliation

00:07:33.019 --> 00:07:38.019
 in a certain way.

00:07:38.159 --> 00:07:38.459
 Well,

00:07:39.599 --> 00:07:40.679
 maybe including

00:07:40.679 --> 00:07:42.000
 a whole process

00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:42.539
 which I call

00:07:42.539 --> 00:07:43.599
 forgiveness

00:07:43.599 --> 00:07:44.519
 and repentance

00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:44.979
 and sin.

00:07:44.979 --> 00:07:45.419
 For restoring

00:07:45.419 --> 00:07:46.679
 the relationship.

00:07:47.500 --> 00:07:47.739
 If,

00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:48.879
 once again,

00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:50.099
 if you have a handout,

00:07:50.479 --> 00:07:51.699
 you can look

00:07:51.699 --> 00:07:52.519
 and see this here,

00:07:52.559 --> 00:07:53.439
 or if you don't have one,

00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:54.040
 we can certainly

00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:54.740
 get you one.

00:07:57.259 --> 00:07:58.500
 I suggest

00:07:58.500 --> 00:07:59.860
 thinking of

00:07:59.860 --> 00:08:01.040
 the restoration

00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:01.980
 of the relationship

00:08:01.980 --> 00:08:02.560
 process

00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:03.279
 in terms of

00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:03.959
 four steps,

00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:05.680
 and I call

00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:06.360
 the third one

00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:07.319
 reconciliation.

00:08:08.459 --> 00:08:08.779
 But,

00:08:09.060 --> 00:08:09.360
 you know,

00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:09.860
 it's just

00:08:09.860 --> 00:08:11.060
 however you define it.

00:08:11.100 --> 00:08:11.560
 You talk about

00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:12.240
 the whole thing

00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:13.000
 is reconciliation

00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:13.899
 or forgiveness.

00:08:13.899 --> 00:08:14.099
 things.

00:08:16.699 --> 00:08:17.299
 But,

00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:18.539
 what

00:08:18.539 --> 00:08:19.560
 Kirsten

00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:20.359
 is saying

00:08:20.359 --> 00:08:21.079
 accurately

00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:21.799
 is that

00:08:21.799 --> 00:08:22.699
 many times

00:08:22.699 --> 00:08:23.939
 when we've

00:08:23.939 --> 00:08:24.459
 been hurt

00:08:24.459 --> 00:08:27.539
 and

00:08:27.539 --> 00:08:28.379
 we're angry,

00:08:31.060 --> 00:08:31.299
 yeah,

00:08:31.500 --> 00:08:32.139
 righteous,

00:08:32.659 --> 00:08:33.279
 we think

00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:33.799
 it's righteous

00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:35.639
 indignation,

00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:37.279
 we think

00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:37.759
 we have a

00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:38.199
 right

00:08:38.199 --> 00:08:39.519
 to be angry.

00:08:40.319 --> 00:08:41.139
 We are,

00:08:41.259 --> 00:08:41.960
 we're hurt,

00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:43.940
 and yes,

00:08:44.259 --> 00:08:45.040
 let the other

00:08:45.040 --> 00:08:45.759
 person take

00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:46.480
 the first step.

00:08:49.040 --> 00:08:49.600
 And,

00:08:50.019 --> 00:08:50.780
 what I'm

00:08:50.780 --> 00:08:51.280
 suggesting

00:08:51.280 --> 00:08:51.920
 is,

00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:52.860
 and I haven't

00:08:52.860 --> 00:08:53.720
 said this point

00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:54.300
 clearly yet,

00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:54.820
 is that the

00:08:54.820 --> 00:08:55.820
 first two steps,

00:08:56.220 --> 00:08:57.120
 renouncing anger

00:08:57.120 --> 00:08:57.879
 and responding

00:08:57.879 --> 00:08:58.400
 in love,

00:08:58.860 --> 00:08:59.660
 are things

00:08:59.660 --> 00:09:01.180
 that we can

00:09:01.180 --> 00:09:01.519
 do

00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:02.920
 whatever

00:09:02.920 --> 00:09:03.940
 the attitude

00:09:03.940 --> 00:09:05.519
 or will

00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:06.139
 of the other

00:09:06.139 --> 00:09:06.900
 person is.

00:09:06.899 --> 00:09:08.639
 the step

00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:09.360
 that I call

00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:10.220
 reconciliation

00:09:10.220 --> 00:09:11.500
 involves

00:09:11.500 --> 00:09:12.720
 interaction,

00:09:13.019 --> 00:09:13.459
 discussion,

00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:14.120
 honesty,

00:09:14.539 --> 00:09:15.159
 asking for

00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:15.620
 forgiveness,

00:09:15.860 --> 00:09:16.519
 being forgiven,

00:09:16.659 --> 00:09:17.220
 those kinds

00:09:17.220 --> 00:09:17.659
 of things,

00:09:17.779 --> 00:09:18.679
 which you need

00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:19.340
 two willing

00:09:19.340 --> 00:09:20.559
 parties to

00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:21.079
 do well.

00:09:21.959 --> 00:09:22.259
 But,

00:09:22.579 --> 00:09:24.159
 I'm suggesting

00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:25.720
 right in line

00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:26.039
 with what

00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:26.759
 Kirsten said

00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:27.100
 that,

00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:27.939
 yes,

00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:29.079
 a first step

00:09:29.079 --> 00:09:29.959
 that God

00:09:29.959 --> 00:09:30.699
 calls us

00:09:30.699 --> 00:09:31.199
 to take

00:09:31.199 --> 00:09:33.699
 when a

00:09:33.699 --> 00:09:34.439
 relationship's

00:09:34.439 --> 00:09:35.039
 been damaged

00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:35.679
 and we're

00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:36.000
 angry,

00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:37.220
 is to

00:09:37.220 --> 00:09:37.720
 say,

00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:39.299
 Lord,

00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:39.879
 help me,

00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:41.159
 I'm going

00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:41.500
 to,

00:09:41.740 --> 00:09:42.559
 help me get

00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:43.320
 over this

00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:44.659
 and I

00:09:44.659 --> 00:09:45.620
 tried to

00:09:45.620 --> 00:09:45.960
 make clear

00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:46.480
 last week

00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:48.039
 that that

00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:49.019
 isn't necessarily

00:09:49.019 --> 00:09:49.659
 going to be

00:09:49.659 --> 00:09:50.460
 an instantaneous

00:09:50.460 --> 00:09:51.019
 thing.

00:09:51.460 --> 00:09:51.659
 Lord,

00:09:51.860 --> 00:09:52.379
 take this

00:09:52.379 --> 00:09:52.919
 anger away.

00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:53.340
 Ah,

00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:54.460
 and you'll

00:09:54.460 --> 00:09:54.980
 never be

00:09:54.980 --> 00:09:57.080
 angry about

00:09:57.080 --> 00:09:57.940
 what happened

00:09:57.940 --> 00:09:58.299
 again.

00:09:59.500 --> 00:10:00.039
 Rather,

00:10:00.179 --> 00:10:00.779
 I'm suggesting

00:10:00.779 --> 00:10:01.460
 that's the

00:10:01.460 --> 00:10:03.120
 start of a

00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:03.679
 process.

00:10:04.019 --> 00:10:04.980
 That's right.

00:10:05.500 --> 00:10:05.740
 All right.

00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:06.559
 Now,

00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:07.299
 let me say

00:10:07.299 --> 00:10:07.659
 one more

00:10:07.659 --> 00:10:07.960
 thing.

00:10:09.179 --> 00:10:09.740
 Because,

00:10:10.659 --> 00:10:11.039
 the only

00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:11.720
 question I

00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:12.799
 got following

00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:13.460
 last week's

00:10:13.460 --> 00:10:14.179
 lesson was

00:10:14.179 --> 00:10:14.960
 about this.

00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:16.120
 I decided

00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:17.179
 to talk to

00:10:17.179 --> 00:10:17.740
 somebody,

00:10:17.820 --> 00:10:18.139
 they weren't

00:10:18.139 --> 00:10:18.379
 in the

00:10:18.379 --> 00:10:18.700
 class,

00:10:18.779 --> 00:10:19.039
 but to

00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:19.360
 talk to

00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:19.679
 somebody

00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:20.179
 about it.

00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:20.879
 And they

00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:21.440
 had a lot

00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:22.100
 to tell me.

00:10:22.580 --> 00:10:23.879
 And part

00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:24.440
 of what they

00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:25.440
 were telling

00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:26.580
 me is this.

00:10:26.580 --> 00:10:31.139
 what about

00:10:31.139 --> 00:10:32.460
 the steps

00:10:32.460 --> 00:10:33.320
 a person

00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:34.220
 needs to

00:10:34.220 --> 00:10:34.780
 take if

00:10:34.780 --> 00:10:35.040
 they've

00:10:35.040 --> 00:10:35.580
 been hurt

00:10:35.580 --> 00:10:39.200
 for their

00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:40.259
 own protection?

00:10:42.740 --> 00:10:43.440
 And maybe

00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:44.300
 as I talked

00:10:44.300 --> 00:10:44.800
 about it with

00:10:44.800 --> 00:10:45.520
 them, I was

00:10:45.520 --> 00:10:46.720
 coming across

00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:47.240
 as saying,

00:10:47.820 --> 00:10:48.379
 well, let's

00:10:48.379 --> 00:10:49.300
 just say this.

00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:49.840
 You're in an

00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:51.320
 abusive relationship

00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:52.480
 at work,

00:10:52.560 --> 00:10:53.280
 at home,

00:10:53.900 --> 00:10:54.600
 hopefully not

00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:55.100
 a church,

00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:55.960
 but wherever

00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:56.420
 it's been.

00:10:59.000 --> 00:10:59.399
 And,

00:10:59.680 --> 00:11:01.600
 I think they

00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:02.040
 were saying

00:11:02.040 --> 00:11:02.519
 to me,

00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:03.379
 well, Matt,

00:11:03.460 --> 00:11:03.879
 the first

00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:04.460
 step is,

00:11:05.060 --> 00:11:05.300
 you know,

00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:05.960
 get safe

00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:06.500
 yourself.

00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:07.800
 Get out

00:11:07.800 --> 00:11:08.440
 of the

00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:09.139
 abuse.

00:11:11.019 --> 00:11:11.460
 Can I

00:11:11.460 --> 00:11:11.800
 regroup

00:11:11.800 --> 00:11:12.220
 your forgiveness?

00:11:16.820 --> 00:11:17.659
 I'm sorry,

00:11:17.779 --> 00:11:18.420
 I'm laughing,

00:11:18.540 --> 00:11:19.480
 because I

00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:20.000
 had this

00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:20.540
 lousy

00:11:20.540 --> 00:11:21.100
 experience

00:11:21.100 --> 00:11:21.560
 yesterday.

00:11:21.940 --> 00:11:22.259
 I was

00:11:22.259 --> 00:11:22.960
 working on

00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:23.540
 preparing my

00:11:23.540 --> 00:11:24.060
 lesson for

00:11:24.060 --> 00:11:24.460
 today,

00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:25.279
 and all

00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:25.680
 of a sudden

00:11:25.680 --> 00:11:26.720
 Windows says,

00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:27.720
 we are doing

00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:28.340
 an update.

00:11:28.820 --> 00:11:29.259
 We are

00:11:29.259 --> 00:11:30.159
 reconfiguring

00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:31.000
 your computer.

00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:34.980
 And so,

00:11:35.259 --> 00:11:36.300
 for an

00:11:36.300 --> 00:11:36.940
 hour or

00:11:36.940 --> 00:11:37.440
 two, I

00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:37.700
 couldn't

00:11:37.700 --> 00:11:38.659
 work on

00:11:38.659 --> 00:11:39.620
 my computer

00:11:39.620 --> 00:11:40.860
 while it

00:11:40.860 --> 00:11:41.659
 reconfigured

00:11:41.659 --> 00:11:42.060
 things.

00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:43.139
 And last

00:11:43.139 --> 00:11:43.700
 night, it

00:11:43.700 --> 00:11:44.200
 was done,

00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:44.820
 and I got

00:11:44.820 --> 00:11:45.259
 back to

00:11:45.259 --> 00:11:45.580
 work, and

00:11:45.580 --> 00:11:45.860
 everything

00:11:45.860 --> 00:11:46.759
 seemed fine.

00:11:47.800 --> 00:11:48.540
 But maybe

00:11:48.540 --> 00:11:49.240
 not everything

00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:50.259
 is quite

00:11:50.259 --> 00:11:50.600
 fine.

00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:51.320
 Worked last

00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:51.700
 week, but

00:11:51.700 --> 00:11:52.040
 with this

00:11:52.040 --> 00:11:52.279
 new

00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:53.980
 configuration of

00:11:53.980 --> 00:11:54.740
 Windows 10,

00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:55.240
 who knows

00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:55.500
 what's

00:11:55.500 --> 00:11:55.759
 happening.

00:11:56.139 --> 00:11:58.120
 But it's

00:11:58.120 --> 00:11:58.539
 all right.

00:11:59.340 --> 00:11:59.940
 You can

00:11:59.940 --> 00:12:00.560
 keep working,

00:12:00.659 --> 00:12:01.200
 I'll try and

00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:01.680
 ignore you.

00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:05.600
 So, hi.

00:12:05.860 --> 00:12:06.340
 Hi, Sam.

00:12:06.379 --> 00:12:06.500
 Hi.

00:12:06.620 --> 00:12:07.000
 What's your

00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:07.279
 name?

00:12:07.460 --> 00:12:08.019
 My name's

00:12:08.019 --> 00:12:08.360
 Matt.

00:12:08.460 --> 00:12:09.139
 Hi, Matt.

00:12:09.300 --> 00:12:10.019
 If you'd like,

00:12:10.060 --> 00:12:10.600
 you can have a

00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:10.899
 handout.

00:12:10.899 --> 00:12:11.139
 help.

00:12:11.139 --> 00:12:17.360
 And so, the

00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:19.959
 approach I was

00:12:19.959 --> 00:12:21.759
 taking kind

00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:22.579
 of assumed

00:12:22.579 --> 00:12:24.100
 that you

00:12:24.100 --> 00:12:25.480
 weren't being

00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:26.819
 abused, you

00:12:26.819 --> 00:12:27.299
 know, and the

00:12:27.299 --> 00:12:28.000
 hurt wasn't

00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:28.899
 actively

00:12:28.899 --> 00:12:30.539
 on a regular

00:12:30.539 --> 00:12:31.159
 basis.

00:12:31.379 --> 00:12:32.179
 If you're

00:12:32.179 --> 00:12:33.019
 assuming that,

00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:34.199
 yes, then

00:12:34.199 --> 00:12:34.919
 get safe,

00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:38.360
 and then

00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:39.479
 you can

00:12:39.479 --> 00:12:42.639
 look to

00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:43.519
 God and

00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:45.139
 ask for

00:12:45.139 --> 00:12:46.959
 help in

00:12:46.959 --> 00:12:47.399
 doing what

00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:47.899
 he wants

00:12:47.899 --> 00:12:48.500
 you to do

00:12:48.500 --> 00:12:49.639
 to restore

00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:50.279
 the relationship,

00:12:50.479 --> 00:12:50.919
 which may

00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:51.559
 never happen

00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:52.319
 if the

00:12:52.319 --> 00:12:52.799
 other person

00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:53.240
 isn't living.

00:12:54.339 --> 00:12:54.599
 But,

00:12:54.699 --> 00:12:58.919
 yeah.

00:12:59.740 --> 00:13:00.439
 Any other

00:13:00.439 --> 00:13:00.980
 follow-up

00:13:00.980 --> 00:13:01.919
 comments on

00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:02.419
 that?

00:13:02.779 --> 00:13:03.219
 Yeah.

00:13:03.220 --> 00:13:06.980
 Any other

00:13:06.980 --> 00:13:07.980
 questions at

00:13:07.980 --> 00:13:08.500
 this point?

00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:16.920
 So, I'll

00:13:16.920 --> 00:13:17.379
 try one.

00:13:17.660 --> 00:13:17.960
 Yeah.

00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:19.300
 Thank you

00:13:19.300 --> 00:13:19.639
 for doing

00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:20.220
 this class.

00:13:20.680 --> 00:13:21.040
 And again,

00:13:21.139 --> 00:13:21.440
 I thought you

00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:21.879
 did a good

00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:22.680
 job last

00:13:22.680 --> 00:13:22.899
 week.

00:13:23.460 --> 00:13:24.160
 The part

00:13:24.160 --> 00:13:24.620
 that left

00:13:24.620 --> 00:13:25.200
 me uncomfortable

00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:26.000
 last week is

00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:26.379
 that, you

00:13:26.379 --> 00:13:26.920
 know, we

00:13:26.920 --> 00:13:27.899
 called Jacob's

00:13:27.899 --> 00:13:28.580
 relationship

00:13:28.580 --> 00:13:29.220
 broken, we

00:13:29.220 --> 00:13:29.600
 called even

00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:30.160
 Joseph's

00:13:30.160 --> 00:13:30.540
 relationship

00:13:30.540 --> 00:13:31.720
 broken, and

00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:32.160
 I understand

00:13:32.160 --> 00:13:32.580
 why.

00:13:32.580 --> 00:13:33.700
 But it

00:13:33.700 --> 00:13:34.300
 just didn't

00:13:34.300 --> 00:13:34.759
 sit well

00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:35.100
 with me

00:13:35.100 --> 00:13:36.139
 because through

00:13:36.139 --> 00:13:36.740
 Jacob and

00:13:36.740 --> 00:13:37.120
 the twelve

00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:37.639
 tribes of

00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:38.300
 Israel, through

00:13:38.300 --> 00:13:38.879
 Joseph, a

00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:39.440
 whole nation

00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:40.060
 was saved.

00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:40.920
 So, even

00:13:40.920 --> 00:13:41.440
 while we

00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:42.060
 consider it

00:13:42.060 --> 00:13:42.780
 broken, God

00:13:42.780 --> 00:13:43.259
 was doing

00:13:43.259 --> 00:13:44.100
 something good.

00:13:44.560 --> 00:13:45.500
 So, I

00:13:45.500 --> 00:13:46.040
 constantly go

00:13:46.040 --> 00:13:46.400
 back to

00:13:46.400 --> 00:13:46.720
 Peter's

00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:47.180
 dream, don't

00:13:47.180 --> 00:13:47.480
 call it

00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:48.080
 broken what

00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:48.660
 God has

00:13:48.660 --> 00:13:50.480
 used for

00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:50.840
 good.

00:13:51.300 --> 00:13:51.960
 So, I

00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:53.180
 just, I

00:13:53.180 --> 00:13:53.680
 don't know, it

00:13:53.680 --> 00:13:54.160
 didn't sit

00:13:54.160 --> 00:13:54.740
 well with me.

00:13:54.860 --> 00:13:55.639
 Okay, yeah,

00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:56.100
 yeah.

00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:04.439
 So, God

00:14:04.439 --> 00:14:04.779
 had a

00:14:04.779 --> 00:14:06.819
 purpose, that

00:14:06.819 --> 00:14:10.199
 he used the

00:14:10.199 --> 00:14:11.759
 sin of

00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:13.319
 Joseph's

00:14:13.319 --> 00:14:14.460
 brothers, and

00:14:14.460 --> 00:14:15.299
 I think the

00:14:15.299 --> 00:14:15.960
 sin of Joseph,

00:14:16.220 --> 00:14:16.639
 and the sin

00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:17.159
 of Jacob.

00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:18.919
 You know, God

00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:20.439
 used that, just

00:14:20.439 --> 00:14:21.159
 like he used

00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:22.980
 the sin of the

00:14:22.980 --> 00:14:23.819
 religious and

00:14:23.819 --> 00:14:24.720
 Roman authorities

00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:25.480
 in the day of

00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:26.639
 Jesus, you

00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:28.440
 know, so

00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:28.920
 that Jesus

00:14:28.920 --> 00:14:29.620
 ended up being

00:14:29.620 --> 00:14:30.399
 crucified and

00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:31.080
 dying for our

00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:31.460
 sins.

00:14:32.899 --> 00:14:34.620
 So, God

00:14:34.620 --> 00:14:36.500
 at least

00:14:36.500 --> 00:14:38.139
 uses good

00:14:38.139 --> 00:14:39.100
 for his

00:14:39.100 --> 00:14:40.660
 purposes, and

00:14:40.660 --> 00:14:42.519
 he's not

00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:43.320
 surprised by

00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:43.540
 it.

00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:44.480
 In fact, he

00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:45.399
 knows the

00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:45.779
 future.

00:14:46.060 --> 00:14:46.420
 Some would

00:14:46.420 --> 00:14:46.899
 say he

00:14:46.899 --> 00:14:48.620
 ordains all

00:14:48.620 --> 00:14:49.160
 the sin to

00:14:49.160 --> 00:14:49.700
 be happened,

00:14:50.180 --> 00:14:51.440
 or that's a

00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:52.279
 big question I

00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:52.800
 have a hard

00:14:52.800 --> 00:14:53.259
 time dealing

00:14:53.259 --> 00:14:53.519
 with.

00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:53.820
 But,

00:14:53.820 --> 00:14:55.560
 yes, God

00:14:55.560 --> 00:14:56.160
 used it.

00:14:59.340 --> 00:15:00.160
 But, I

00:15:00.160 --> 00:15:00.860
 think we'll

00:15:00.860 --> 00:15:01.900
 see that

00:15:01.900 --> 00:15:06.100
 Joseph, by

00:15:06.100 --> 00:15:06.620
 some years

00:15:06.620 --> 00:15:07.460
 later, both

00:15:07.460 --> 00:15:08.320
 knew that

00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:08.720
 God was

00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:09.260
 using him

00:15:09.260 --> 00:15:10.040
 for his

00:15:10.040 --> 00:15:12.220
 purposes, and

00:15:12.220 --> 00:15:14.500
 yet, he, I

00:15:14.500 --> 00:15:15.420
 believe, worked

00:15:15.420 --> 00:15:16.760
 really hard to

00:15:16.760 --> 00:15:18.440
 restore the

00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:19.280
 relationship with

00:15:19.280 --> 00:15:19.720
 his brothers.

00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:20.840
 He wanted a

00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:21.660
 good relationship

00:15:21.660 --> 00:15:22.540
 with them again.

00:15:22.539 --> 00:15:23.779
 people.

00:15:23.779 --> 00:15:25.599
 And so, God,

00:15:25.740 --> 00:15:26.599
 you know, can

00:15:26.599 --> 00:15:27.599
 use bad

00:15:27.599 --> 00:15:28.159
 things in our

00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:28.959
 lives, including

00:15:28.959 --> 00:15:30.399
 broken, damaged

00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:31.620
 relationships, for

00:15:31.620 --> 00:15:31.860
 good.

00:15:31.959 --> 00:15:32.799
 Oh, my, he's

00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:34.079
 used them in

00:15:34.079 --> 00:15:35.000
 my life over

00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:35.899
 and over again

00:15:35.899 --> 00:15:36.480
 to get my

00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:37.120
 attention

00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:41.959
 about

00:15:41.959 --> 00:15:42.459
 something.

00:15:42.460 --> 00:15:42.580
 good.

00:15:42.580 --> 00:15:49.300
 I've worked in

00:15:49.300 --> 00:15:49.700
 the New Haven

00:15:49.700 --> 00:15:50.340
 school system

00:15:50.340 --> 00:15:51.460
 for 11 years.

00:15:52.420 --> 00:15:53.000
 I taught

00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:54.160
 science, a

00:15:54.160 --> 00:15:54.660
 career in my

00:15:54.660 --> 00:15:55.000
 school.

00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:55.059
 school.

00:15:56.240 --> 00:16:00.620
 And, uh, uh,

00:16:00.860 --> 00:16:01.659
 yeah.

00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:07.340
 And, um, but

00:16:07.340 --> 00:16:08.240
 I retired a

00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:08.580
 year ago.

00:16:09.299 --> 00:16:10.019
 But last

00:16:10.019 --> 00:16:10.679
 week, as

00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:11.279
 Debbie and I

00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:11.759
 were driving

00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:12.179
 through New

00:16:12.179 --> 00:16:12.620
 Haven, I

00:16:12.620 --> 00:16:13.159
 drove by my

00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:13.559
 old high

00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:14.600
 school, and

00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:18.159
 anger came

00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:18.519
 up with

00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:18.740
 anything.

00:16:18.740 --> 00:16:21.200
 and, as

00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:21.799
 best as I

00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:23.000
 can discern, it

00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:23.600
 had to do

00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:24.000
 with a

00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:25.759
 long-standing

00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:26.899
 resentment

00:16:26.899 --> 00:16:28.360
 that I had

00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:28.799
 against the

00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:29.080
 New Haven

00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:29.639
 public school

00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:30.019
 system.

00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:30.759
 Rightly or

00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:31.500
 wrongly, I

00:16:31.500 --> 00:16:31.960
 think a lot

00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:32.200
 of their

00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:33.060
 policies and

00:16:33.060 --> 00:16:33.560
 decisions

00:16:33.560 --> 00:16:34.539
 actually hurt

00:16:34.539 --> 00:16:35.480
 students instead

00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:35.960
 of helping

00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:36.200
 them.

00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:38.140
 And I, you

00:16:38.140 --> 00:16:38.580
 know, saw

00:16:38.580 --> 00:16:39.460
 things that I

00:16:39.460 --> 00:16:40.100
 thought were

00:16:40.100 --> 00:16:41.680
 bad to be

00:16:41.680 --> 00:16:42.980
 done over and

00:16:42.980 --> 00:16:43.600
 over again in

00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:44.340
 my 11 years.

00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:46.160
 You know, half

00:16:46.160 --> 00:16:47.120
 the faculty means

00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:47.960
 I went to, you

00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:48.360
 know, I go

00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:50.100
 away, oh, no,

00:16:50.340 --> 00:16:51.200
 you know, ah!

00:16:52.920 --> 00:16:56.420
 But I never

00:16:56.420 --> 00:16:58.400
 realized until

00:16:58.400 --> 00:17:00.580
 last week that

00:17:00.580 --> 00:17:01.960
 the anger I

00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:03.820
 was feeling about

00:17:03.820 --> 00:17:04.460
 those bad

00:17:04.460 --> 00:17:06.140
 policies, the

00:17:06.140 --> 00:17:07.220
 developed into

00:17:07.220 --> 00:17:08.300
 a resentment

00:17:08.300 --> 00:17:10.780
 against some

00:17:10.780 --> 00:17:11.800
 individuals and

00:17:11.800 --> 00:17:12.680
 the system as

00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:13.180
 a whole.

00:17:15.220 --> 00:17:20.680
 And then I

00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:21.420
 could remember,

00:17:21.560 --> 00:17:22.420
 you know, my

00:17:22.420 --> 00:17:23.259
 wife saying,

00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:25.640
 ah, Matt, you

00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:26.380
 know, in social

00:17:26.380 --> 00:17:27.240
 sense, whenever

00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:28.340
 education comes

00:17:28.340 --> 00:17:28.860
 up, you know,

00:17:28.940 --> 00:17:30.120
 you go on your

00:17:30.120 --> 00:17:31.320
 rampage, you

00:17:31.320 --> 00:17:32.220
 know, about what

00:17:32.220 --> 00:17:32.940
 should be done

00:17:32.940 --> 00:17:33.560
 and what's being

00:17:33.560 --> 00:17:34.300
 done wrong.

00:17:34.299 --> 00:17:36.960
 And, you

00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:37.039
 know, obviously

00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:37.440
 she was

00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:38.079
 implying I

00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:38.779
 did it in an

00:17:38.779 --> 00:17:39.259
 unhelpful,

00:17:39.639 --> 00:17:40.799
 inappropriate way.

00:17:42.019 --> 00:17:43.960
 And, you

00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:44.279
 know, I was

00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:45.039
 just passionate

00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:46.879
 about doing

00:17:46.879 --> 00:17:47.559
 what was right

00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:48.339
 for students,

00:17:48.460 --> 00:17:48.740
 right?

00:17:50.879 --> 00:17:51.639
 Well, that was

00:17:51.639 --> 00:17:52.379
 a piece of it.

00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:54.159
 But a piece of

00:17:54.159 --> 00:17:55.639
 it was that I

00:17:55.639 --> 00:17:57.259
 had not dealt

00:17:57.259 --> 00:17:58.920
 with my

00:17:58.920 --> 00:17:59.720
 righteous anger,

00:18:01.299 --> 00:18:02.740
 assuming some

00:18:02.740 --> 00:18:03.079
 of it was

00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:03.440
 righteous.

00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:06.559
 And instead

00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:07.059
 of dealing

00:18:07.059 --> 00:18:07.819
 with it, you

00:18:07.819 --> 00:18:08.200
 know, I got

00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:08.720
 angry this

00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:09.660
 time, angry

00:18:09.660 --> 00:18:10.119
 that time,

00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:10.940
 angry this

00:18:10.940 --> 00:18:14.000
 time, to the

00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:14.720
 point where

00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:16.660
 this resentment

00:18:16.660 --> 00:18:19.400
 built up that

00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:20.480
 not only affected

00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:21.140
 me at work,

00:18:21.339 --> 00:18:22.279
 but affected me

00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:22.980
 outside of work,

00:18:23.099 --> 00:18:23.799
 affected my

00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:24.559
 social

00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:25.440
 relationships

00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:25.899
 with other

00:18:25.899 --> 00:18:26.399
 people,

00:18:27.139 --> 00:18:27.940
 provided a

00:18:27.940 --> 00:18:28.700
 foothold for

00:18:28.700 --> 00:18:28.980
 safety.

00:18:35.460 --> 00:18:36.500
 So, I

00:18:36.500 --> 00:18:37.259
 pray, Lord,

00:18:37.859 --> 00:18:40.299
 help me,

00:18:40.460 --> 00:18:42.119
 let go of

00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:42.899
 that anger

00:18:42.899 --> 00:18:43.720
 and resentment

00:18:43.720 --> 00:18:44.899
 that had been

00:18:44.899 --> 00:18:45.819
 percolating in me

00:18:45.819 --> 00:18:47.359
 all these years.

00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:49.259
 so this

00:18:49.259 --> 00:18:49.759
 class has been

00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:50.219
 good for at

00:18:50.219 --> 00:18:50.519
 least one

00:18:50.519 --> 00:18:50.799
 person.

00:18:53.059 --> 00:18:53.459
 Now,

00:18:54.059 --> 00:18:58.439
 this wasn't,

00:18:58.539 --> 00:18:59.119
 this isn't as

00:18:59.119 --> 00:18:59.539
 clear as the

00:18:59.539 --> 00:19:00.079
 story of Joseph

00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:00.439
 and his

00:19:00.439 --> 00:19:00.740
 brothers,

00:19:00.959 --> 00:19:04.919
 but my

00:19:04.919 --> 00:19:05.479
 anger,

00:19:06.299 --> 00:19:07.099
 staying angry,

00:19:07.299 --> 00:19:07.759
 not dealing

00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:08.179
 with it,

00:19:08.379 --> 00:19:08.779
 leading to

00:19:08.779 --> 00:19:09.119
 resentment,

00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:09.839
 was wrong.

00:19:10.740 --> 00:19:13.319
 But God

00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:15.279
 eventually used

00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:16.959
 it to get

00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:17.740
 my attention

00:19:17.740 --> 00:19:19.000
 after I'd

00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:19.400
 learned some

00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:19.920
 more things

00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:22.860
 and did

00:19:22.860 --> 00:19:23.980
 another step

00:19:23.980 --> 00:19:24.620
 of his work

00:19:24.620 --> 00:19:25.220
 in my heart

00:19:25.220 --> 00:19:26.220
 making me a

00:19:26.220 --> 00:19:26.539
 little bit

00:19:26.539 --> 00:19:27.860
 more like

00:19:27.860 --> 00:19:28.220
 Jesus.

00:19:29.259 --> 00:19:29.600
 So,

00:19:29.819 --> 00:19:30.259
 yeah?

00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:31.279
 Is there a

00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:32.380
 particular passage

00:19:32.380 --> 00:19:33.059
 in the Bible

00:19:33.059 --> 00:19:33.680
 that you could

00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:35.440
 use when we

00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:36.039
 can't feel

00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:36.539
 like that?

00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:39.799
 Wow,

00:19:40.140 --> 00:19:40.759
 what a great

00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:41.079
 segue.

00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:44.440
 Yes,

00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:44.920
 do you have

00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:45.299
 the handout

00:19:45.299 --> 00:19:45.660
 there,

00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:45.960
 Chuck?

00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:46.840
 Okay,

00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:47.620
 so,

00:19:47.840 --> 00:19:49.019
 last week

00:19:49.019 --> 00:19:50.380
 in renouncing

00:19:50.380 --> 00:19:50.759
 anger,

00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:52.559
 I think there

00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:53.160
 were scriptures

00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:54.519
 over the five

00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:55.500
 how-tos under

00:19:55.500 --> 00:19:55.740
 there,

00:19:55.779 --> 00:19:55.980
 right?

00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:56.840
 Okay,

00:19:57.160 --> 00:19:57.720
 so the first

00:19:57.720 --> 00:19:58.079
 one,

00:19:58.460 --> 00:19:58.860
 you know,

00:19:58.960 --> 00:19:59.660
 I believe

00:19:59.660 --> 00:20:00.220
 suggests,

00:20:00.620 --> 00:20:00.840
 hey,

00:20:01.140 --> 00:20:01.759
 when you

00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:02.720
 stay angry

00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:04.000
 with someone

00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:06.059
 or a group

00:20:06.059 --> 00:20:06.460
 of people,

00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:06.880
 a system,

00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:07.480
 whatever it

00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:07.680
 is,

00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:08.620
 one,

00:20:08.779 --> 00:20:09.240
 realize,

00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:09.620
 ah,

00:20:09.980 --> 00:20:10.500
 God doesn't

00:20:10.500 --> 00:20:10.940
 want me to

00:20:10.940 --> 00:20:11.340
 stay angry

00:20:11.340 --> 00:20:11.720
 with these

00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:12.059
 people.

00:20:12.059 --> 00:20:12.279
 world,

00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:15.220
 and maybe

00:20:15.220 --> 00:20:15.779
 I'll focus

00:20:15.779 --> 00:20:16.240
 on that,

00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:16.899
 on people.

00:20:17.419 --> 00:20:17.819
 God,

00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:18.460
 I believe,

00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:18.980
 does not

00:20:18.980 --> 00:20:19.319
 want us

00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:19.940
 to stay

00:20:19.940 --> 00:20:21.279
 angry with

00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:21.960
 individuals

00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:22.859
 or groups.

00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:23.859
 So,

00:20:24.019 --> 00:20:24.759
 first acknowledge

00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:25.500
 that and

00:20:25.500 --> 00:20:25.759
 say,

00:20:25.940 --> 00:20:26.759
 God,

00:20:26.899 --> 00:20:27.399
 help me

00:20:27.399 --> 00:20:28.059
 let go

00:20:28.059 --> 00:20:28.539
 of this.

00:20:28.539 --> 00:20:31.339
 So,

00:20:31.420 --> 00:20:31.639
 that's the

00:20:31.639 --> 00:20:32.139
 first step.

00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:34.119
 Second step

00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:34.720
 is,

00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:35.220
 you know,

00:20:35.259 --> 00:20:35.740
 don't keep

00:20:35.740 --> 00:20:36.259
 going over

00:20:36.259 --> 00:20:36.559
 it in your

00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:36.980
 mind.

00:20:37.139 --> 00:20:37.440
 And I

00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:37.779
 give,

00:20:37.899 --> 00:20:38.759
 you know,

00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:39.220
 references

00:20:39.220 --> 00:20:39.980
 to the

00:20:39.980 --> 00:20:40.639
 love chapter,

00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:41.399
 1 Corinthians

00:20:41.399 --> 00:20:42.119
 13,

00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:43.539
 that suggests

00:20:43.539 --> 00:20:44.220
 that love

00:20:44.220 --> 00:20:45.279
 doesn't do

00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:45.500
 that.

00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:46.200
 And love

00:20:46.200 --> 00:20:46.759
 doesn't,

00:20:47.159 --> 00:20:48.059
 love hopes

00:20:48.059 --> 00:20:48.680
 that things

00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:49.299
 can be better.

00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:50.000
 There's no

00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:50.659
 guarantee that

00:20:50.659 --> 00:20:51.139
 things will be

00:20:51.139 --> 00:20:51.759
 better in our

00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:52.700
 broken relationships,

00:20:52.940 --> 00:20:53.899
 but we can at

00:20:53.899 --> 00:20:54.579
 least hope that.

00:20:54.639 --> 00:20:54.960
 So we don't

00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:55.480
 have to say,

00:20:55.619 --> 00:20:55.899
 oh,

00:20:56.359 --> 00:20:57.099
 they did that

00:20:57.099 --> 00:20:57.839
 to me before,

00:20:57.839 --> 00:20:59.299
 and they're

00:20:59.299 --> 00:20:59.679
 going to do

00:20:59.679 --> 00:21:00.339
 it again.

00:21:02.139 --> 00:21:02.619
 Rather,

00:21:03.259 --> 00:21:03.500
 oh,

00:21:03.579 --> 00:21:03.859
 Lord,

00:21:04.579 --> 00:21:05.079
 change me,

00:21:05.199 --> 00:21:05.699
 change that.

00:21:06.459 --> 00:21:07.339
 Step four

00:21:07.339 --> 00:21:08.159
 is,

00:21:08.299 --> 00:21:08.899
 remember that

00:21:08.899 --> 00:21:09.419
 I've sinned

00:21:09.419 --> 00:21:09.619
 too.

00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:10.559
 In a damaged

00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:11.199
 relationship,

00:21:11.379 --> 00:21:11.679
 in any

00:21:11.679 --> 00:21:12.339
 relationship,

00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:13.019
 you know,

00:21:13.139 --> 00:21:13.519
 there's,

00:21:14.339 --> 00:21:15.899
 being sinners,

00:21:16.099 --> 00:21:16.319
 you know,

00:21:16.379 --> 00:21:16.839
 it's almost

00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:17.659
 guaranteed that

00:21:17.659 --> 00:21:18.139
 there's fault

00:21:18.139 --> 00:21:18.980
 on both sides.

00:21:20.299 --> 00:21:20.619
 And God

00:21:20.619 --> 00:21:21.259
 calls us

00:21:21.259 --> 00:21:21.839
 to forgive

00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:22.339
 others

00:21:22.339 --> 00:21:23.779
 as he

00:21:23.779 --> 00:21:24.539
 forgives us.

00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:25.679
 And forgiveness

00:21:25.679 --> 00:21:26.439
 can mean a lot

00:21:26.439 --> 00:21:27.139
 of different things,

00:21:27.259 --> 00:21:27.419
 but,

00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:28.220
 here,

00:21:28.339 --> 00:21:28.639
 in that

00:21:28.639 --> 00:21:29.259
 context,

00:21:29.659 --> 00:21:30.059
 I think it

00:21:30.059 --> 00:21:30.379
 at least

00:21:30.379 --> 00:21:30.779
 means,

00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:31.599
 you know,

00:21:31.639 --> 00:21:32.639
 not staying

00:21:32.639 --> 00:21:33.919
 angry with

00:21:33.919 --> 00:21:34.119
 them.

00:21:36.859 --> 00:21:38.199
 And Matthew,

00:21:39.059 --> 00:21:39.220
 the,

00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:41.019
 Chuck,

00:21:41.179 --> 00:21:41.740
 there's a

00:21:41.740 --> 00:21:42.220
 reference to

00:21:42.220 --> 00:21:42.980
 Matthew there

00:21:42.980 --> 00:21:43.819
 with step,

00:21:44.019 --> 00:21:44.599
 or how to

00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:45.079
 for,

00:21:45.399 --> 00:21:45.699
 also.

00:21:46.179 --> 00:21:46.379
 Yeah,

00:21:46.419 --> 00:21:46.879
 so that's the

00:21:46.879 --> 00:21:47.500
 parable of the

00:21:47.500 --> 00:21:48.439
 unforgiving servant.

00:21:49.419 --> 00:21:50.939
 And if you,

00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:52.639
 you're a person,

00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:52.980
 you know,

00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:53.659
 who kind of

00:21:53.659 --> 00:21:54.559
 delights in getting

00:21:54.559 --> 00:21:55.079
 angry,

00:21:55.299 --> 00:21:55.480
 you know,

00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:56.099
 feeling that

00:21:56.099 --> 00:21:56.439
 righteous

00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:57.059
 sanctification,

00:21:57.320 --> 00:21:57.840
 you might

00:21:57.840 --> 00:21:58.120
 want to

00:21:58.120 --> 00:21:58.600
 read that

00:21:58.600 --> 00:21:58.860
 over,

00:21:59.059 --> 00:21:59.700
 because it's

00:21:59.700 --> 00:22:00.279
 kind of like

00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:01.539
 a real

00:22:01.539 --> 00:22:02.320
 negative

00:22:02.320 --> 00:22:04.480
 warning about

00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:05.500
 don't do

00:22:05.500 --> 00:22:05.720
 that.

00:22:06.539 --> 00:22:07.059
 God doesn't

00:22:07.059 --> 00:22:07.480
 like it.

00:22:07.700 --> 00:22:08.700
 It's not

00:22:08.700 --> 00:22:08.880
 good.

00:22:09.740 --> 00:22:10.600
 And then,

00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:12.500
 how to's,

00:22:12.580 --> 00:22:13.620
 four and five,

00:22:13.740 --> 00:22:14.660
 are positive

00:22:14.660 --> 00:22:15.539
 things.

00:22:15.539 --> 00:22:21.920
 last week I

00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:22.220
 would have

00:22:22.220 --> 00:22:22.960
 projected this

00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:23.599
 on the screen

00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:24.359
 for you.

00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:25.639
 Today I

00:22:25.639 --> 00:22:26.519
 can't.

00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:28.460
 And so,

00:22:28.659 --> 00:22:28.899
 Is the

00:22:28.899 --> 00:22:29.259
 projector

00:22:29.259 --> 00:22:29.700
 broken?

00:22:31.299 --> 00:22:32.200
 They're not

00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:33.299
 communicating well.

00:22:33.299 --> 00:22:33.480
 Oh,

00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:33.579
 wow.

00:22:33.579 --> 00:22:34.079
 The computer,

00:22:34.220 --> 00:22:34.799
 yes,

00:22:34.859 --> 00:22:35.480
 these things

00:22:35.480 --> 00:22:37.079
 happen sometimes.

00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:38.740
 But,

00:22:38.819 --> 00:22:44.000
 step four is,

00:22:44.099 --> 00:22:44.539
 oh yes,

00:22:45.399 --> 00:22:46.139
 forgive as

00:22:46.139 --> 00:22:46.460
 God has

00:22:46.460 --> 00:22:47.059
 forgiven you.

00:22:47.299 --> 00:22:48.240
 How to

00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:50.419
 is pray

00:22:50.419 --> 00:22:51.480
 for those

00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:53.000
 who have

00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:53.500
 treated you

00:22:53.500 --> 00:22:53.819
 badly.

00:22:54.379 --> 00:22:55.220
 And for me,

00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:56.460
 this has been

00:22:56.460 --> 00:22:57.079
 the most

00:22:57.079 --> 00:22:57.799
 practical,

00:22:58.039 --> 00:22:59.019
 positive step.

00:23:00.259 --> 00:23:01.199
 When I've

00:23:01.199 --> 00:23:02.159
 been in the

00:23:02.159 --> 00:23:03.119
 process of

00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:03.919
 letting go of

00:23:03.919 --> 00:23:04.379
 my anger

00:23:04.379 --> 00:23:05.259
 against somebody,

00:23:05.259 --> 00:23:07.619
 when I

00:23:07.619 --> 00:23:08.180
 start

00:23:08.180 --> 00:23:09.740
 replaying,

00:23:09.740 --> 00:23:10.039
 you know,

00:23:10.099 --> 00:23:10.460
 what they

00:23:10.460 --> 00:23:11.059
 did to me,

00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:13.799
 being committed

00:23:13.799 --> 00:23:14.859
 not to do

00:23:14.859 --> 00:23:15.180
 that,

00:23:15.700 --> 00:23:16.420
 and when I'm

00:23:16.420 --> 00:23:17.000
 aware of it,

00:23:17.019 --> 00:23:17.220
 saying,

00:23:17.700 --> 00:23:17.920
 ah,

00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:18.279
 yes,

00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:18.779
 God wants

00:23:18.779 --> 00:23:19.259
 me instead

00:23:19.259 --> 00:23:19.960
 to pray

00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:20.819
 for these

00:23:20.819 --> 00:23:21.180
 people.

00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:21.900
 Well,

00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:22.119
 one,

00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:22.680
 that brings

00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:23.220
 God into

00:23:23.220 --> 00:23:23.660
 the picture.

00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:24.740
 Not just

00:23:24.740 --> 00:23:25.180
 what they

00:23:25.180 --> 00:23:25.660
 did against

00:23:25.660 --> 00:23:26.079
 me,

00:23:26.539 --> 00:23:26.920
 it's,

00:23:27.480 --> 00:23:27.879
 yeah,

00:23:28.379 --> 00:23:29.640
 my relationship

00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:30.339
 with them,

00:23:30.700 --> 00:23:30.879
 me,

00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:31.180
 them,

00:23:31.259 --> 00:23:31.819
 and God.

00:23:32.460 --> 00:23:33.039
 And that

00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:34.079
 changes things.

00:23:35.259 --> 00:23:35.940
 So,

00:23:36.220 --> 00:23:36.619
 praying for

00:23:36.619 --> 00:23:37.079
 them in a

00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:38.119
 positive way

00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:40.140
 is,

00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:40.619
 I think,

00:23:40.660 --> 00:23:40.920
 one of the

00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:41.299
 most helpful

00:23:41.299 --> 00:23:41.599
 things.

00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:42.619
 Long answer.

00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:43.359
 Did that?

00:23:43.779 --> 00:23:43.960
 Yeah.

00:23:44.180 --> 00:23:44.500
 Okay.

00:23:46.319 --> 00:23:46.879
 So,

00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:50.980
 by God's

00:23:50.980 --> 00:23:51.379
 grace,

00:23:52.379 --> 00:23:52.859
 even when

00:23:52.859 --> 00:23:53.180
 we've been

00:23:53.180 --> 00:23:53.700
 badly hurt

00:23:53.700 --> 00:23:54.740
 by someone,

00:23:55.079 --> 00:23:55.740
 we can get

00:23:55.740 --> 00:23:56.240
 to the point

00:23:56.240 --> 00:23:56.660
 where,

00:23:57.119 --> 00:23:58.000
 you know,

00:23:58.059 --> 00:23:58.819
 we're not

00:23:58.819 --> 00:23:59.940
 getting angry

00:23:59.940 --> 00:24:00.400
 with them

00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:01.019
 every time

00:24:01.019 --> 00:24:01.759
 we think

00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:02.099
 of them.

00:24:02.099 --> 00:24:05.419
 but that's

00:24:05.419 --> 00:24:05.799
 only,

00:24:06.219 --> 00:24:06.740
 I would say,

00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:07.379
 a first step

00:24:07.379 --> 00:24:08.259
 in restoring

00:24:08.259 --> 00:24:09.459
 the relationship.

00:24:10.619 --> 00:24:11.539
 I want to

00:24:11.539 --> 00:24:13.240
 tell you a

00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:13.619
 story.

00:24:14.099 --> 00:24:14.740
 I used to

00:24:14.740 --> 00:24:15.079
 live in

00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:15.480
 Stanford,

00:24:15.740 --> 00:24:16.139
 Connecticut,

00:24:16.779 --> 00:24:17.480
 and on

00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:18.359
 one occasion,

00:24:19.399 --> 00:24:19.719
 I,

00:24:20.719 --> 00:24:25.699
 I want to

00:24:25.699 --> 00:24:26.219
 hold off on

00:24:26.219 --> 00:24:26.599
 that for a

00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:26.799
 moment.

00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:28.899
 instead,

00:24:29.099 --> 00:24:29.579
 let's pick

00:24:29.579 --> 00:24:30.319
 up with

00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:30.799
 the story

00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:31.299
 of Joseph

00:24:31.299 --> 00:24:32.619
 and his

00:24:32.619 --> 00:24:33.460
 brothers.

00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:34.899
 Last week,

00:24:35.059 --> 00:24:35.480
 we looked

00:24:35.480 --> 00:24:36.940
 at Genesis

00:24:36.940 --> 00:24:37.720
 37,

00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:38.460
 and you'll

00:24:38.460 --> 00:24:39.319
 find this

00:24:39.319 --> 00:24:39.960
 on,

00:24:40.500 --> 00:24:40.980
 you're using

00:24:40.980 --> 00:24:41.480
 one of the

00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:42.200
 Pew Bibles,

00:24:42.379 --> 00:24:42.960
 not one of

00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:43.240
 the Pew

00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:43.539
 Bibles,

00:24:43.839 --> 00:24:44.279
 one of the

00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:44.740
 downstairs

00:24:44.740 --> 00:24:45.240
 Bibles,

00:24:45.339 --> 00:24:45.559
 which are

00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:46.000
 different than

00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:46.299
 the Pew

00:24:46.299 --> 00:24:46.579
 Bibles,

00:24:46.919 --> 00:24:47.419
 but they're

00:24:47.419 --> 00:24:48.339
 probably not

00:24:48.339 --> 00:24:48.659
 out here

00:24:48.659 --> 00:24:48.960
 today.

00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:49.240
 So,

00:24:49.879 --> 00:24:50.559
 if you have

00:24:50.559 --> 00:24:51.019
 a Bible,

00:24:51.740 --> 00:24:53.019
 I'd encourage

00:24:53.019 --> 00:24:53.859
 you to turn

00:24:53.859 --> 00:24:54.480
 to Genesis

00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:55.359
 37,

00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:57.059
 um,

00:24:58.240 --> 00:25:16.139
 hi Sam,

00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:16.659
 can I,

00:25:16.919 --> 00:25:17.419
 I'm looking

00:25:17.419 --> 00:25:18.139
 for a Bible.

00:25:18.379 --> 00:25:18.899
 Yeah.

00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:22.000
 Over there?

00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:22.579
 On the

00:25:22.579 --> 00:25:23.279
 bottom shelf.

00:25:23.539 --> 00:25:24.059
 That shelf

00:25:24.059 --> 00:25:24.500
 over there?

00:25:24.500 --> 00:25:27.079
 By the

00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:27.380
 way,

00:25:27.500 --> 00:25:28.000
 maybe some

00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:28.240
 of you

00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:28.700
 haven't been

00:25:28.700 --> 00:25:29.099
 able to

00:25:29.099 --> 00:25:29.619
 hear me,

00:25:30.220 --> 00:25:33.259
 but now

00:25:33.259 --> 00:25:33.579
 that we

00:25:33.579 --> 00:25:34.099
 have this

00:25:34.099 --> 00:25:34.500
 help,

00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:34.920
 and I'll

00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:35.319
 try and

00:25:35.319 --> 00:25:36.019
 stand here,

00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:36.819
 if you

00:25:36.819 --> 00:25:37.400
 still can't

00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:37.759
 hear me,

00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:38.140
 let me

00:25:38.140 --> 00:25:38.420
 know.

00:25:39.380 --> 00:25:39.660
 Any

00:25:39.660 --> 00:25:40.339
 comments

00:25:40.339 --> 00:25:40.900
 on sound?

00:25:40.900 --> 00:25:40.960
 Sound?

00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:46.019
 Yeah,

00:25:46.019 --> 00:25:47.100
 yeah,

00:25:51.259 --> 00:25:51.740
 and looking

00:25:51.740 --> 00:25:52.200
 at,

00:25:52.259 --> 00:25:54.539
 somebody who

00:25:54.539 --> 00:25:55.059
 knows about

00:25:55.059 --> 00:25:55.600
 this thing,

00:25:55.700 --> 00:25:56.360
 I just

00:25:56.360 --> 00:25:56.740
 hit it,

00:25:56.819 --> 00:25:57.160
 maybe I

00:25:57.160 --> 00:25:57.579
 turned it

00:25:57.579 --> 00:25:57.940
 off,

00:25:58.759 --> 00:26:00.039
 I was

00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:01.579
 trying to

00:26:01.579 --> 00:26:02.500
 locate it

00:26:02.500 --> 00:26:03.039
 in a place

00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:03.700
 where it

00:26:03.700 --> 00:26:04.500
 would pick

00:26:04.500 --> 00:26:05.059
 me up

00:26:05.059 --> 00:26:06.360
 from now

00:26:06.360 --> 00:26:06.539
 on.

00:26:06.539 --> 00:26:08.879
 So in

00:26:08.879 --> 00:26:09.859
 Genesis 37,

00:26:10.539 --> 00:26:12.639
 we read

00:26:12.639 --> 00:26:15.399
 how many

00:26:15.399 --> 00:26:15.759
 things

00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:16.319
 contributed

00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:18.659
 to Joseph's

00:26:18.659 --> 00:26:19.180
 brothers,

00:26:19.659 --> 00:26:20.220
 his ten

00:26:20.220 --> 00:26:21.159
 older brothers,

00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:22.940
 getting angry

00:26:22.940 --> 00:26:23.420
 with him,

00:26:23.659 --> 00:26:24.099
 and coming

00:26:24.099 --> 00:26:24.599
 to hate

00:26:24.599 --> 00:26:24.879
 him.

00:26:25.619 --> 00:26:26.359
 And then

00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:27.099
 saw how that

00:26:27.099 --> 00:26:27.740
 erupted in

00:26:27.740 --> 00:26:28.279
 violence,

00:26:28.700 --> 00:26:29.000
 they were,

00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:31.399
 they grabbed

00:26:31.399 --> 00:26:31.720
 him,

00:26:32.420 --> 00:26:33.259
 tore his

00:26:33.259 --> 00:26:34.579
 special clothing

00:26:34.579 --> 00:26:35.019
 off,

00:26:35.399 --> 00:26:35.960
 it was a

00:26:35.960 --> 00:26:36.639
 special robe

00:26:36.639 --> 00:26:37.139
 that was a

00:26:37.139 --> 00:26:38.419
 sign that

00:26:38.419 --> 00:26:38.899
 his father

00:26:38.899 --> 00:26:39.619
 loved him

00:26:39.619 --> 00:26:40.059
 more than

00:26:40.059 --> 00:26:40.699
 any of his

00:26:40.699 --> 00:26:41.439
 other brothers.

00:26:42.779 --> 00:26:44.019
 And she

00:26:44.019 --> 00:26:45.059
 proudly wore

00:26:45.059 --> 00:26:45.659
 around and

00:26:45.659 --> 00:26:46.119
 rubbed it in

00:26:46.119 --> 00:26:46.579
 their faces,

00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:47.619
 I believe,

00:26:48.220 --> 00:26:49.740
 and threw

00:26:49.740 --> 00:26:50.500
 him into a

00:26:50.500 --> 00:26:50.799
 pit,

00:26:51.199 --> 00:26:51.720
 either to

00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:52.339
 kill him

00:26:52.339 --> 00:26:52.839
 or to

00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:53.220
 let him

00:26:53.220 --> 00:26:53.699
 die,

00:26:54.359 --> 00:26:55.259
 but as

00:26:55.259 --> 00:26:55.839
 we read

00:26:55.839 --> 00:26:56.480
 at the

00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:57.339
 end of

00:26:57.339 --> 00:26:58.740
 chapter 37,

00:26:59.099 --> 00:26:59.559
 what they

00:26:59.559 --> 00:27:00.000
 ended up

00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:01.419
 doing was

00:27:01.419 --> 00:27:02.139
 selling

00:27:02.139 --> 00:27:03.179
 Joseph as

00:27:03.179 --> 00:27:03.740
 a slave,

00:27:03.740 --> 00:27:04.779
 a caravan

00:27:04.779 --> 00:27:05.519
 came by

00:27:05.519 --> 00:27:05.880
 bringing

00:27:05.880 --> 00:27:06.339
 various

00:27:06.339 --> 00:27:06.819
 goods,

00:27:07.380 --> 00:27:07.759
 it was

00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:08.039
 on its

00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:08.359
 way to

00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:08.819
 Egypt,

00:27:09.559 --> 00:27:09.880
 and

00:27:09.880 --> 00:27:11.880
 Judah,

00:27:12.120 --> 00:27:12.339
 one of

00:27:12.339 --> 00:27:12.700
 the brothers

00:27:12.700 --> 00:27:12.960
 said,

00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:13.220
 hey,

00:27:13.539 --> 00:27:14.579
 let's get

00:27:14.579 --> 00:27:15.000
 some money

00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:15.279
 out of

00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:15.579
 this,

00:27:16.099 --> 00:27:17.299
 and let's

00:27:17.299 --> 00:27:18.019
 sell him

00:27:18.019 --> 00:27:18.440
 as a

00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:18.660
 slave,

00:27:18.700 --> 00:27:19.039
 which they

00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:19.299
 did.

00:27:19.799 --> 00:27:20.460
 And off

00:27:20.460 --> 00:27:21.240
 Joseph has

00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:21.940
 taken Egypt.

00:27:23.500 --> 00:27:24.180
 And the

00:27:24.180 --> 00:27:24.720
 brothers are

00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:25.079
 thinking,

00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:26.539
 yes,

00:27:27.079 --> 00:27:28.019
 this thing

00:27:28.019 --> 00:27:28.460
 that has

00:27:28.460 --> 00:27:29.299
 made our

00:27:29.299 --> 00:27:29.660
 lives

00:27:29.660 --> 00:27:30.099
 miserable,

00:27:30.299 --> 00:27:30.839
 this person

00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:31.620
 who's

00:27:31.620 --> 00:27:32.880
 made our

00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:33.120
 lives

00:27:33.120 --> 00:27:33.500
 miserable,

00:27:33.740 --> 00:27:34.500
 is out

00:27:34.500 --> 00:27:34.740
 of the

00:27:34.740 --> 00:27:35.079
 picture

00:27:35.079 --> 00:27:36.039
 forever.

00:27:38.140 --> 00:27:38.779
 But,

00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:39.759
 they had

00:27:39.759 --> 00:27:40.359
 to convince

00:27:40.359 --> 00:27:41.240
 their father

00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:42.500
 that Joseph

00:27:42.500 --> 00:27:42.920
 was out

00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:43.099
 of the

00:27:43.099 --> 00:27:43.359
 picture

00:27:43.359 --> 00:27:43.779
 forever

00:27:43.779 --> 00:27:44.279
 and not

00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:44.599
 just

00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:45.120
 missing.

00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:47.960
 So,

00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:49.420
 I would

00:27:49.420 --> 00:27:49.880
 like it

00:27:49.880 --> 00:27:50.640
 if somebody

00:27:50.640 --> 00:27:52.180
 would

00:27:52.180 --> 00:27:53.279
 read

00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:55.019
 Genesis,

00:27:55.420 --> 00:27:56.180
 oh,

00:27:56.299 --> 00:27:56.819
 I can read

00:27:56.819 --> 00:27:57.000
 it,

00:27:57.420 --> 00:27:57.759
 I have

00:27:57.759 --> 00:27:58.000
 it here,

00:27:58.380 --> 00:27:58.700
 Genesis

00:27:58.700 --> 00:27:59.440
 37,

00:28:00.059 --> 00:28:00.900
 starting

00:28:00.900 --> 00:28:01.339
 with verse

00:28:01.339 --> 00:28:01.879
 31.

00:28:04.099 --> 00:28:04.839
 Then they

00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:05.099
 took

00:28:05.099 --> 00:28:05.740
 Joseph's

00:28:05.740 --> 00:28:06.179
 robe

00:28:06.179 --> 00:28:06.539
 and

00:28:06.539 --> 00:28:07.240
 slaughtered

00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:07.819
 a goat

00:28:07.819 --> 00:28:08.419
 and dipped

00:28:08.419 --> 00:28:08.879
 the robe

00:28:08.879 --> 00:28:09.159
 in the

00:28:09.159 --> 00:28:09.500
 blood.

00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:11.079
 And they

00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:12.039
 sent the

00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:12.699
 robe of

00:28:12.699 --> 00:28:13.439
 many colors

00:28:13.439 --> 00:28:14.299
 and brought

00:28:14.299 --> 00:28:14.939
 it to

00:28:14.939 --> 00:28:15.559
 their father

00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:16.119
 and said,

00:28:16.379 --> 00:28:17.519
 this we

00:28:17.519 --> 00:28:18.079
 have found,

00:28:18.399 --> 00:28:19.359
 please identify

00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:20.419
 whether it is

00:28:20.419 --> 00:28:21.099
 your son's

00:28:21.099 --> 00:28:21.579
 robe or

00:28:21.579 --> 00:28:22.000
 not.

00:28:22.959 --> 00:28:23.699
 And he

00:28:23.699 --> 00:28:24.599
 identified it

00:28:24.599 --> 00:28:25.099
 and said,

00:28:25.299 --> 00:28:26.459
 it is my

00:28:26.459 --> 00:28:27.240
 son's robe.

00:28:27.659 --> 00:28:28.339
 A fierce

00:28:28.339 --> 00:28:29.299
 animal has

00:28:29.299 --> 00:28:29.799
 devoured

00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:30.099
 him.

00:28:30.859 --> 00:28:31.180
 Joseph

00:28:31.180 --> 00:28:32.259
 is without

00:28:32.259 --> 00:28:33.539
 doubt torn

00:28:33.539 --> 00:28:34.180
 to pieces.

00:28:35.319 --> 00:28:36.299
 Then Jacob

00:28:36.299 --> 00:28:37.059
 tore his

00:28:37.059 --> 00:28:38.399
 garments and

00:28:38.399 --> 00:28:39.419
 put sackcloth

00:28:39.419 --> 00:28:39.839
 on his

00:28:39.839 --> 00:28:41.079
 loins and

00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:42.059
 mourned for

00:28:42.059 --> 00:28:42.879
 his son

00:28:42.879 --> 00:28:44.419
 many days.

00:28:46.519 --> 00:28:46.700
 Well,

00:28:46.779 --> 00:28:46.960
 it seemed

00:28:46.960 --> 00:28:47.319
 that Joseph

00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:47.779
 was out of

00:28:47.779 --> 00:28:48.200
 the picture,

00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:49.299
 even so he

00:28:49.299 --> 00:28:49.919
 was casting

00:28:49.919 --> 00:28:50.639
 a long

00:28:50.639 --> 00:28:53.200
 shadow in

00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:53.740
 the family.

00:28:54.480 --> 00:28:54.759
 But,

00:28:54.859 --> 00:28:56.799
 well,

00:28:56.879 --> 00:28:57.559
 he was out

00:28:57.559 --> 00:28:57.759
 of the

00:28:57.759 --> 00:28:58.019
 picture.

00:28:59.299 --> 00:29:02.539
 Now,

00:29:03.339 --> 00:29:05.779
 I believe

00:29:05.779 --> 00:29:06.119
 that the

00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:06.500
 story of

00:29:06.500 --> 00:29:07.059
 Joseph and

00:29:07.059 --> 00:29:07.480
 his brothers

00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:08.119
 is a

00:29:08.119 --> 00:29:08.519
 wonderful

00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:09.039
 biblical

00:29:09.039 --> 00:29:09.980
 story and

00:29:09.980 --> 00:29:10.579
 illustration

00:29:10.579 --> 00:29:11.940
 of restoring

00:29:11.940 --> 00:29:12.399
 a damaged

00:29:12.399 --> 00:29:13.039
 relationship.

00:29:13.399 --> 00:29:14.180
 But it

00:29:14.180 --> 00:29:14.740
 does not

00:29:14.740 --> 00:29:15.359
 give us

00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:17.619
 information

00:29:17.619 --> 00:29:18.720
 about every

00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:19.399
 step in

00:29:19.399 --> 00:29:19.980
 the process.

00:29:20.700 --> 00:29:21.139
 And one

00:29:21.139 --> 00:29:21.359
 of the

00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:21.759
 things we

00:29:21.759 --> 00:29:22.700
 don't see

00:29:22.700 --> 00:29:24.039
 directly

00:29:24.039 --> 00:29:27.579
 is the

00:29:27.579 --> 00:29:28.220
 brothers

00:29:28.220 --> 00:29:30.680
 getting over

00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:31.460
 their anger

00:29:31.460 --> 00:29:33.339
 towards

00:29:33.339 --> 00:29:34.220
 Joseph.

00:29:37.180 --> 00:29:37.700
 And

00:29:37.700 --> 00:29:38.619
 Joseph, I

00:29:38.619 --> 00:29:38.980
 bet, was

00:29:38.980 --> 00:29:39.500
 angry with

00:29:39.500 --> 00:29:40.059
 his brothers

00:29:40.059 --> 00:29:41.220
 after they

00:29:41.220 --> 00:29:41.599
 beat him

00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:42.099
 up and

00:29:42.099 --> 00:29:42.539
 sold him

00:29:42.539 --> 00:29:42.819
 as a

00:29:42.819 --> 00:29:43.139
 slave.

00:29:43.859 --> 00:29:44.740
 It doesn't

00:29:44.740 --> 00:29:45.159
 tell us

00:29:45.159 --> 00:29:46.319
 directly about

00:29:46.319 --> 00:29:46.740
 him getting

00:29:46.740 --> 00:29:47.279
 over that.

00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:49.240
 but the

00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:50.000
 Bible does

00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:50.660
 give us

00:29:50.660 --> 00:29:51.359
 a lot of,

00:29:51.579 --> 00:29:51.899
 I think,

00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:53.039
 indirect and

00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:53.799
 clear evidence

00:29:53.799 --> 00:29:54.940
 that Joseph

00:29:54.940 --> 00:29:55.539
 did that.

00:29:55.960 --> 00:29:56.480
 That he

00:29:56.480 --> 00:29:57.440
 eventually

00:29:57.440 --> 00:29:58.480
 followed

00:29:58.480 --> 00:29:59.680
 step one,

00:29:59.779 --> 00:30:00.160
 renouncing

00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:00.519
 anger,

00:30:00.779 --> 00:30:01.619
 and secondly,

00:30:02.259 --> 00:30:03.160
 came to the

00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:03.740
 point where he

00:30:03.740 --> 00:30:04.720
 really loved his

00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:05.559
 brothers again and

00:30:05.559 --> 00:30:06.200
 wanted a good

00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:07.139
 relationship with

00:30:07.139 --> 00:30:07.339
 them.

00:30:07.339 --> 00:30:09.939
 So, on

00:30:09.939 --> 00:30:11.240
 your handout,

00:30:12.759 --> 00:30:17.019
 you'll see

00:30:17.019 --> 00:30:19.240
 right down

00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:20.339
 around here

00:30:20.339 --> 00:30:21.559
 a number of

00:30:21.559 --> 00:30:22.419
 passages from

00:30:22.419 --> 00:30:23.819
 Genesis that

00:30:23.819 --> 00:30:25.119
 I present as

00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:26.119
 evidence that

00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:27.619
 Joseph trusted

00:30:27.619 --> 00:30:28.179
 and obeyed

00:30:28.179 --> 00:30:29.799
 God and

00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:30.139
 that God

00:30:30.139 --> 00:30:30.659
 blessed him.

00:30:31.079 --> 00:30:31.539
 And we're

00:30:31.539 --> 00:30:31.899
 going to read

00:30:31.899 --> 00:30:32.579
 just the first

00:30:32.579 --> 00:30:35.059
 one, which

00:30:35.059 --> 00:30:36.859
 is in

00:30:36.859 --> 00:30:38.099
 Genesis 39.

00:30:38.639 --> 00:30:39.419
 Again, with

00:30:39.419 --> 00:30:39.919
 the downstairs

00:30:39.919 --> 00:30:40.679
 Bible, I

00:30:40.679 --> 00:30:41.000
 think it's

00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:41.839
 page 33.

00:30:42.779 --> 00:30:43.359
 Genesis

00:30:43.359 --> 00:30:44.639
 chapter 39,

00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:45.740
 and I'll

00:30:45.740 --> 00:30:47.319
 read verses

00:30:47.319 --> 00:30:48.500
 1 through

00:30:48.500 --> 00:30:48.919
 10.

00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:54.399
 Now,

00:30:54.479 --> 00:30:55.199
 Joseph had

00:30:55.199 --> 00:30:55.599
 been brought

00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:56.039
 down to

00:30:56.039 --> 00:30:57.119
 Egypt, and

00:30:57.119 --> 00:30:57.899
 Potiphar, the

00:30:57.899 --> 00:30:58.799
 officer of

00:30:58.799 --> 00:30:59.839
 Pharaoh, the

00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:00.559
 captain of the

00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:01.279
 guard, an

00:31:01.279 --> 00:31:02.819
 Egyptian, had

00:31:02.819 --> 00:31:03.539
 bought him

00:31:03.539 --> 00:31:05.459
 from the

00:31:05.459 --> 00:31:06.259
 Ishmaelites,

00:31:06.259 --> 00:31:06.759
 who had

00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:07.160
 brought him

00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:07.680
 down there.

00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:09.500
 The Lord

00:31:09.500 --> 00:31:10.059
 was with

00:31:10.059 --> 00:31:11.059
 Joseph, and

00:31:11.059 --> 00:31:11.680
 he became

00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:13.180
 a successful

00:31:13.180 --> 00:31:14.359
 man, and

00:31:14.359 --> 00:31:14.740
 he was in

00:31:14.740 --> 00:31:15.839
 the house of

00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:16.440
 his Egyptian

00:31:16.440 --> 00:31:17.000
 master.

00:31:17.539 --> 00:31:18.140
 His master

00:31:18.140 --> 00:31:18.940
 saw that the

00:31:18.940 --> 00:31:19.779
 Lord was with

00:31:19.779 --> 00:31:20.319
 him, and

00:31:20.319 --> 00:31:20.640
 that the

00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:21.359
 Lord caused

00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:22.180
 all that he

00:31:22.180 --> 00:31:22.680
 did to

00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:23.500
 succeed in

00:31:23.500 --> 00:31:24.119
 his hands.

00:31:24.799 --> 00:31:25.480
 So, Joseph

00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:26.680
 found favor in

00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:28.099
 his sight, and

00:31:28.099 --> 00:31:28.879
 attended him,

00:31:29.379 --> 00:31:30.140
 and he

00:31:30.140 --> 00:31:31.599
 made him,

00:31:31.859 --> 00:31:32.500
 Potiphar made

00:31:32.500 --> 00:31:33.779
 Joseph, overseer

00:31:33.779 --> 00:31:34.700
 of his

00:31:34.700 --> 00:31:35.399
 house, and

00:31:35.399 --> 00:31:36.059
 put him in

00:31:36.059 --> 00:31:36.619
 charge of

00:31:36.619 --> 00:31:37.339
 all that he

00:31:37.339 --> 00:31:37.720
 had.

00:31:38.420 --> 00:31:39.039
 From the

00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:40.119
 time that he

00:31:40.119 --> 00:31:41.019
 made him

00:31:41.019 --> 00:31:42.000
 overseer in

00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:43.799
 his house, and

00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:44.460
 over all he

00:31:44.460 --> 00:31:45.019
 had, the

00:31:45.019 --> 00:31:45.819
 Lord blessed

00:31:45.819 --> 00:31:46.680
 the Egyptian's

00:31:46.680 --> 00:31:47.220
 house for

00:31:47.220 --> 00:31:48.299
 Joseph's sake.

00:31:48.980 --> 00:31:49.519
 The blessing

00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:50.099
 of the Lord

00:31:50.099 --> 00:31:51.079
 was on all

00:31:51.079 --> 00:31:51.480
 that he

00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:52.200
 had, in

00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:53.399
 the house, and

00:31:53.399 --> 00:31:54.000
 in the field.

00:31:54.899 --> 00:31:55.819
 So, he

00:31:55.819 --> 00:31:56.980
 left all that

00:31:56.980 --> 00:31:57.599
 he had in

00:31:57.599 --> 00:31:58.619
 Joseph's charge,

00:31:58.619 --> 00:31:59.879
 and because

00:31:59.879 --> 00:32:00.679
 of him, he

00:32:00.679 --> 00:32:01.119
 had no

00:32:01.119 --> 00:32:02.039
 concern about

00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:03.719
 anything but

00:32:03.719 --> 00:32:04.379
 the food he

00:32:04.379 --> 00:32:04.599
 ate.

00:32:06.259 --> 00:32:07.059
 Now, Joseph

00:32:07.059 --> 00:32:07.739
 was handsome

00:32:07.739 --> 00:32:08.759
 in form and

00:32:08.759 --> 00:32:10.099
 appearance, and

00:32:10.099 --> 00:32:11.159
 after a time, his

00:32:11.159 --> 00:32:12.779
 master's wife cast

00:32:12.779 --> 00:32:13.459
 her eyes on

00:32:13.459 --> 00:32:14.319
 Joseph and said,

00:32:14.719 --> 00:32:15.519
 Lie with me.

00:32:16.299 --> 00:32:17.079
 But, he

00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:18.199
 refused, and

00:32:18.199 --> 00:32:18.859
 said to his

00:32:18.859 --> 00:32:19.639
 master's wife,

00:32:20.139 --> 00:32:21.899
 Behold, because

00:32:21.899 --> 00:32:22.619
 of me, my

00:32:22.619 --> 00:32:23.659
 master has no

00:32:23.659 --> 00:32:24.539
 concern about

00:32:24.539 --> 00:32:25.299
 anything in the

00:32:25.299 --> 00:32:26.179
 house, and he

00:32:26.179 --> 00:32:27.119
 has put everything

00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:28.459
 that he has in

00:32:28.460 --> 00:32:29.240
 my charge.

00:32:30.380 --> 00:32:31.680
 He is not

00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:32.880
 greater in this

00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:33.660
 house than I

00:32:33.660 --> 00:32:34.759
 am, nor has

00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:35.380
 he kept back

00:32:35.380 --> 00:32:36.180
 anything from

00:32:36.180 --> 00:32:37.340
 me, except

00:32:37.340 --> 00:32:38.680
 you, because

00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:39.200
 you are his

00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:39.620
 wife.

00:32:40.299 --> 00:32:41.380
 How, then, can

00:32:41.380 --> 00:32:42.579
 I do this great

00:32:42.579 --> 00:32:43.480
 wickedness and

00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:44.319
 sin against

00:32:44.319 --> 00:32:44.840
 God?

00:32:46.620 --> 00:32:48.180
 And, as she

00:32:48.180 --> 00:32:49.039
 spoke to Joseph

00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:50.259
 day after day,

00:32:50.660 --> 00:32:51.259
 he would not

00:32:51.259 --> 00:32:52.680
 listen to her, to

00:32:52.680 --> 00:32:54.220
 lie beside her, or

00:32:54.220 --> 00:32:54.900
 to be with

00:32:54.900 --> 00:32:55.100
 her.

00:32:55.099 --> 00:33:03.319
 Joseph saw

00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:05.139
 what God was

00:33:05.139 --> 00:33:05.659
 doing in

00:33:05.659 --> 00:33:07.679
 blessing him, so

00:33:07.679 --> 00:33:09.059
 that probably

00:33:09.059 --> 00:33:10.000
 made it easy for

00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:10.839
 him to trust him

00:33:10.839 --> 00:33:11.459
 on some level,

00:33:11.579 --> 00:33:12.039
 trust God.

00:33:12.699 --> 00:33:13.879
 He obeyed God,

00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:16.500
 and God

00:33:16.500 --> 00:33:17.399
 blessed him.

00:33:18.039 --> 00:33:18.779
 And, as you

00:33:18.779 --> 00:33:19.699
 read those other

00:33:19.699 --> 00:33:20.579
 passages listed

00:33:20.579 --> 00:33:21.399
 there, you see

00:33:21.399 --> 00:33:22.279
 this over and

00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:22.819
 over again.

00:33:22.819 --> 00:33:24.960
 now, here's my

00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:25.819
 conclusion from

00:33:25.819 --> 00:33:26.439
 that indirect

00:33:26.439 --> 00:33:27.019
 evidence.

00:33:27.639 --> 00:33:28.720
 I do not

00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:29.480
 believe that

00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:30.559
 God would have

00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:31.659
 blessed Joseph in

00:33:31.659 --> 00:33:33.359
 this way if

00:33:33.359 --> 00:33:35.279
 Joseph had

00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:38.939
 been, you

00:33:38.939 --> 00:33:39.899
 know, seething

00:33:39.899 --> 00:33:41.179
 with anger

00:33:41.179 --> 00:33:42.079
 against his

00:33:42.079 --> 00:33:42.779
 brothers all

00:33:42.779 --> 00:33:43.559
 this year, all

00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:44.179
 those years.

00:33:44.180 --> 00:33:44.240
 others.

00:33:47.320 --> 00:33:48.340
 Now, I can't

00:33:48.340 --> 00:33:49.299
 prove that, but

00:33:49.299 --> 00:33:51.680
 let me ask you

00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:53.200
 to turn to

00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:54.920
 a psalm.

00:33:58.019 --> 00:34:01.279
 Psalm 37.

00:34:05.660 --> 00:34:07.920
 And, I'd

00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:08.639
 ask somebody to

00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:09.880
 read verses 4

00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:10.619
 through 9,

00:34:10.740 --> 00:34:11.180
 because...

00:34:11.179 --> 00:34:12.440
 I can read

00:34:12.440 --> 00:34:12.940
 verses.

00:34:13.159 --> 00:34:13.960
 You can.

00:34:14.059 --> 00:34:14.379
 Okay.

00:34:14.619 --> 00:34:15.460
 Are you there?

00:34:15.980 --> 00:34:16.679
 I am.

00:34:16.919 --> 00:34:17.339
 Great.

00:34:17.500 --> 00:34:18.399
 Psalm 37,

00:34:18.940 --> 00:34:20.279
 4 through 9.

00:34:20.659 --> 00:34:21.819
 Delight yourselves

00:34:21.819 --> 00:34:22.599
 in the Lord,

00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:23.839
 and he will

00:34:23.839 --> 00:34:24.639
 give you the

00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:25.639
 desires of your

00:34:25.639 --> 00:34:26.199
 heart.

00:34:27.239 --> 00:34:27.859
 Commit your

00:34:27.859 --> 00:34:28.519
 way to the

00:34:28.519 --> 00:34:28.819
 Lord.

00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:30.359
 Trust in him,

00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:31.379
 and he will

00:34:31.379 --> 00:34:31.819
 act.

00:34:32.539 --> 00:34:33.460
 He will bring

00:34:33.460 --> 00:34:34.179
 forth your

00:34:34.179 --> 00:34:35.359
 righteousness as

00:34:35.359 --> 00:34:35.960
 the light,

00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:36.960
 and your

00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:37.899
 justice as

00:34:37.899 --> 00:34:38.739
 the noonday.

00:34:38.739 --> 00:34:40.599
 be still

00:34:40.599 --> 00:34:41.359
 before the

00:34:41.359 --> 00:34:42.079
 Lord, and

00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:42.959
 wait patiently

00:34:42.959 --> 00:34:43.679
 for him.

00:34:44.439 --> 00:34:44.799
 Threat

00:34:44.799 --> 00:34:45.899
 not yourself

00:34:45.899 --> 00:34:46.559
 over the

00:34:46.559 --> 00:34:47.359
 one who

00:34:47.359 --> 00:34:48.299
 prospers in

00:34:48.299 --> 00:34:48.879
 his way,

00:34:49.639 --> 00:34:50.239
 over the

00:34:50.239 --> 00:34:50.779
 man who

00:34:50.779 --> 00:34:51.379
 carries out

00:34:51.379 --> 00:34:52.500
 evil devices.

00:34:54.199 --> 00:34:54.719
 Refrain

00:34:54.719 --> 00:34:55.539
 from anger,

00:34:55.779 --> 00:34:56.500
 and forsake

00:34:56.500 --> 00:34:57.099
 wrath.

00:34:58.359 --> 00:34:58.879
 Threat

00:34:58.879 --> 00:35:00.019
 not yourself,

00:35:00.259 --> 00:35:00.779
 it tends

00:35:00.779 --> 00:35:01.479
 only to

00:35:01.479 --> 00:35:01.939
 evil.

00:35:02.939 --> 00:35:03.579
 For the

00:35:03.579 --> 00:35:04.519
 evildoers

00:35:04.519 --> 00:35:05.199
 shall be

00:35:05.199 --> 00:35:05.799
 cut off,

00:35:06.359 --> 00:35:07.059
 but those

00:35:07.059 --> 00:35:07.500
 who wait

00:35:07.500 --> 00:35:07.880
 for the

00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:08.219
 Lord,

00:35:08.619 --> 00:35:08.920
 shall

00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:09.440
 inherit

00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:09.719
 the

00:35:09.719 --> 00:35:10.059
 land.

00:35:10.940 --> 00:35:11.380
 Thank

00:35:11.380 --> 00:35:11.639
 you.

00:35:11.880 --> 00:35:12.239
 No

00:35:12.239 --> 00:35:12.699
 problem.

00:35:13.779 --> 00:35:14.360
 Refrain

00:35:14.360 --> 00:35:15.239
 from anger,

00:35:16.099 --> 00:35:18.079
 or in

00:35:18.079 --> 00:35:18.440
 the language

00:35:18.440 --> 00:35:18.860
 I would

00:35:18.860 --> 00:35:19.139
 use,

00:35:19.299 --> 00:35:19.900
 renounce,

00:35:20.179 --> 00:35:20.719
 what did

00:35:20.719 --> 00:35:20.960
 I say?

00:35:21.039 --> 00:35:21.159
 No,

00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:21.719
 refrain

00:35:21.719 --> 00:35:22.440
 from anger

00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:23.480
 is what

00:35:23.480 --> 00:35:24.000
 it says,

00:35:24.299 --> 00:35:26.400
 or renounce

00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:26.840
 anger.

00:35:28.139 --> 00:35:28.539
 And I

00:35:28.539 --> 00:35:28.759
 think

00:35:28.759 --> 00:35:29.579
 actually,

00:35:31.239 --> 00:35:34.079
 not

00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:34.699
 renouncing

00:35:34.699 --> 00:35:35.460
 anger is

00:35:35.460 --> 00:35:36.539
 incompatible

00:35:36.539 --> 00:35:37.420
 with really

00:35:37.420 --> 00:35:38.480
 trusting the

00:35:38.480 --> 00:35:38.740
 Lord.

00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:39.699
 It's

00:35:39.699 --> 00:35:41.619
 another

00:35:41.619 --> 00:35:41.980
 command

00:35:41.980 --> 00:35:42.480
 repeated

00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:43.039
 several

00:35:43.039 --> 00:35:43.500
 times in

00:35:43.500 --> 00:35:43.860
 the Bible

00:35:43.860 --> 00:35:44.699
 is don't

00:35:44.699 --> 00:35:45.000
 seek

00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:45.619
 revenge.

00:35:46.699 --> 00:35:47.380
 Leave it

00:35:47.380 --> 00:35:47.659
 to the

00:35:47.659 --> 00:35:47.940
 Lord.

00:35:48.740 --> 00:35:49.420
 He will

00:35:49.420 --> 00:35:50.000
 take care

00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:50.340
 of it.

00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:53.480
 So,

00:35:54.699 --> 00:35:56.059
 I

00:35:56.059 --> 00:35:57.559
 conclude,

00:35:58.019 --> 00:35:58.300
 you know,

00:35:58.360 --> 00:35:58.720
 from what

00:35:58.720 --> 00:35:59.139
 we've looked

00:35:59.139 --> 00:35:59.440
 at,

00:36:00.519 --> 00:36:01.179
 that Joseph

00:36:01.179 --> 00:36:02.320
 came to

00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:02.900
 the place

00:36:02.900 --> 00:36:03.519
 where he

00:36:03.519 --> 00:36:04.900
 trusted God,

00:36:05.240 --> 00:36:06.000
 obeyed God,

00:36:06.380 --> 00:36:07.059
 God blessed

00:36:07.059 --> 00:36:07.380
 him,

00:36:08.340 --> 00:36:09.500
 and that

00:36:09.500 --> 00:36:09.980
 he did

00:36:09.980 --> 00:36:11.300
 what this

00:36:11.300 --> 00:36:11.880
 psalm tells

00:36:11.880 --> 00:36:12.280
 us to

00:36:12.280 --> 00:36:12.519
 do,

00:36:13.220 --> 00:36:14.119
 which is

00:36:14.119 --> 00:36:15.680
 don't fret

00:36:15.680 --> 00:36:16.619
 about what

00:36:16.619 --> 00:36:17.920
 the evil

00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:18.500
 things people

00:36:18.500 --> 00:36:18.960
 have done,

00:36:20.119 --> 00:36:20.900
 refrain from

00:36:20.900 --> 00:36:21.180
 anger,

00:36:25.500 --> 00:36:26.460
 and

00:36:26.460 --> 00:36:29.440
 trust me

00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:30.039
 to take

00:36:30.039 --> 00:36:30.340
 care of

00:36:30.340 --> 00:36:30.519
 it.

00:36:33.480 --> 00:36:34.000
 There,

00:36:34.300 --> 00:36:34.860
 I am

00:36:34.860 --> 00:36:35.700
 done with

00:36:35.700 --> 00:36:37.559
 step one,

00:36:38.019 --> 00:36:38.579
 renouncing

00:36:38.579 --> 00:36:39.039
 anger.

00:36:40.220 --> 00:36:41.019
 Questions at

00:36:41.019 --> 00:36:41.539
 this point,

00:36:42.019 --> 00:36:43.400
 or comments?

00:36:54.400 --> 00:36:55.320
 All right.

00:36:55.320 --> 00:36:58.720
 When I was

00:36:58.720 --> 00:36:59.260
 living in

00:36:59.260 --> 00:36:59.640
 Stanford,

00:36:59.940 --> 00:37:01.059
 one time

00:37:01.059 --> 00:37:02.380
 I had a

00:37:02.380 --> 00:37:03.260
 cookout with

00:37:03.260 --> 00:37:04.200
 some neighbors,

00:37:04.559 --> 00:37:05.600
 and I will

00:37:05.600 --> 00:37:08.380
 call the

00:37:08.380 --> 00:37:08.840
 neighbors,

00:37:09.220 --> 00:37:10.840
 one of the

00:37:10.840 --> 00:37:11.160
 neighbors,

00:37:11.519 --> 00:37:12.019
 Rich.

00:37:13.059 --> 00:37:13.360
 Now,

00:37:13.440 --> 00:37:13.760
 as we

00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:14.320
 talked,

00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:15.820
 you know,

00:37:15.900 --> 00:37:16.559
 it came out

00:37:16.559 --> 00:37:17.460
 that another

00:37:17.460 --> 00:37:17.980
 neighbor who

00:37:17.980 --> 00:37:18.460
 lived right

00:37:18.460 --> 00:37:19.360
 next to us

00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:19.740
 too,

00:37:20.380 --> 00:37:20.720
 George,

00:37:20.780 --> 00:37:21.380
 wasn't there.

00:37:22.539 --> 00:37:23.039
 And part of

00:37:23.039 --> 00:37:23.680
 the reason is

00:37:23.680 --> 00:37:24.420
 that Rich and

00:37:24.420 --> 00:37:25.000
 George had

00:37:25.000 --> 00:37:25.679
 not talked

00:37:25.679 --> 00:37:26.059
 to each

00:37:26.059 --> 00:37:26.820
 other for

00:37:26.820 --> 00:37:27.340
 years.

00:37:29.579 --> 00:37:30.280
 And this

00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:30.500
 is the

00:37:30.500 --> 00:37:31.079
 back story.

00:37:31.699 --> 00:37:32.380
 Rich had

00:37:32.380 --> 00:37:32.739
 had a

00:37:32.739 --> 00:37:33.039
 drainage

00:37:33.039 --> 00:37:33.679
 problem in

00:37:33.679 --> 00:37:34.260
 his yard,

00:37:34.719 --> 00:37:35.639
 he had

00:37:35.639 --> 00:37:36.579
 somebody come

00:37:36.579 --> 00:37:37.039
 in and

00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:37.800
 regrade the

00:37:37.800 --> 00:37:38.179
 yard,

00:37:38.420 --> 00:37:39.420
 and his

00:37:39.420 --> 00:37:40.219
 water problem

00:37:40.219 --> 00:37:41.139
 was over,

00:37:41.559 --> 00:37:42.619
 but unfortunately

00:37:42.619 --> 00:37:43.940
 now the

00:37:43.940 --> 00:37:44.679
 water was

00:37:44.679 --> 00:37:44.980
 causing

00:37:44.980 --> 00:37:45.699
 problems for

00:37:45.699 --> 00:37:46.179
 George.

00:37:48.039 --> 00:37:49.219
 And whereas

00:37:49.219 --> 00:37:49.780
 Rich and

00:37:49.780 --> 00:37:50.500
 George had,

00:37:50.739 --> 00:37:51.019
 you know,

00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:51.500
 a good

00:37:51.500 --> 00:37:52.019
 neighborly

00:37:52.019 --> 00:37:52.599
 relationship

00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:53.019
 in the

00:37:53.019 --> 00:37:53.500
 past,

00:37:53.500 --> 00:37:54.679
 sometime

00:37:54.679 --> 00:37:55.579
 after that,

00:37:55.639 --> 00:37:56.400
 they were

00:37:56.400 --> 00:37:56.800
 both out

00:37:56.800 --> 00:37:57.000
 in their

00:37:57.000 --> 00:37:57.500
 yards,

00:37:57.719 --> 00:37:58.619
 and Rich,

00:37:58.780 --> 00:37:59.219
 you know,

00:37:59.260 --> 00:37:59.960
 said hi to

00:37:59.960 --> 00:38:00.440
 George,

00:38:00.699 --> 00:38:01.380
 and George

00:38:01.380 --> 00:38:04.460
 just turned

00:38:04.460 --> 00:38:04.880
 around,

00:38:05.420 --> 00:38:06.079
 walked away.

00:38:07.559 --> 00:38:08.239
 And Rich

00:38:08.239 --> 00:38:08.739
 concluded,

00:38:09.300 --> 00:38:10.659
 well,

00:38:11.699 --> 00:38:13.699
 sorry for

00:38:13.699 --> 00:38:14.019
 George,

00:38:14.119 --> 00:38:14.579
 but if he

00:38:14.579 --> 00:38:14.940
 doesn't want

00:38:14.940 --> 00:38:15.320
 to talk to

00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:15.599
 me,

00:38:16.440 --> 00:38:16.880
 I can live

00:38:16.880 --> 00:38:17.159
 with that.

00:38:17.539 --> 00:38:17.900
 I'm not going

00:38:17.900 --> 00:38:18.260
 to talk to

00:38:18.260 --> 00:38:18.420
 him.

00:38:18.420 --> 00:38:19.800
 now I

00:38:19.800 --> 00:38:20.059
 didn't

00:38:20.059 --> 00:38:20.800
 detect any

00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:22.220
 anger on

00:38:22.220 --> 00:38:22.519
 Rich's

00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:22.820
 part,

00:38:23.240 --> 00:38:25.320
 but there

00:38:25.320 --> 00:38:25.980
 was no

00:38:25.980 --> 00:38:27.519
 love there

00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:27.980
 either.

00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:32.260
 Rich was

00:38:32.260 --> 00:38:32.980
 content,

00:38:33.559 --> 00:38:33.960
 you know,

00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:34.740
 he hadn't

00:38:34.740 --> 00:38:35.139
 been hurt

00:38:35.139 --> 00:38:35.720
 badly,

00:38:36.099 --> 00:38:37.740
 except snubbed

00:38:37.740 --> 00:38:38.360
 a little bit,

00:38:38.659 --> 00:38:41.220
 but he was

00:38:41.220 --> 00:38:41.680
 okay with

00:38:41.680 --> 00:38:41.880
 that.

00:38:42.019 --> 00:38:42.500
 He wasn't

00:38:42.500 --> 00:38:42.860
 angry,

00:38:43.200 --> 00:38:45.180
 but wasn't

00:38:45.180 --> 00:38:45.619
 going to

00:38:45.619 --> 00:38:46.159
 take any

00:38:46.159 --> 00:38:46.960
 steps of

00:38:46.960 --> 00:38:48.000
 love.

00:38:48.420 --> 00:38:49.619
 To use

00:38:49.619 --> 00:38:50.220
 Kirsten's

00:38:50.220 --> 00:38:51.220
 example before,

00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:52.240
 you know,

00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:54.139
 somebody

00:38:54.139 --> 00:38:54.720
 treats me

00:38:54.720 --> 00:38:55.099
 badly,

00:38:55.760 --> 00:38:56.720
 I'll let

00:38:56.720 --> 00:38:57.079
 them take

00:38:57.079 --> 00:38:57.480
 the first

00:38:57.480 --> 00:38:57.760
 step.

00:38:58.460 --> 00:38:58.659
 You know,

00:38:58.720 --> 00:38:59.000
 I'm not

00:38:59.000 --> 00:38:59.200
 going to

00:38:59.200 --> 00:38:59.519
 let the

00:38:59.519 --> 00:38:59.780
 anger

00:38:59.780 --> 00:39:00.159
 simmer

00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:01.039
 inside me

00:39:01.039 --> 00:39:02.360
 and tear

00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:02.940
 me apart.

00:39:03.440 --> 00:39:03.700
 No,

00:39:03.760 --> 00:39:04.079
 I'm over

00:39:04.079 --> 00:39:04.480
 that,

00:39:04.940 --> 00:39:06.139
 but they

00:39:06.139 --> 00:39:06.460
 want to

00:39:06.460 --> 00:39:06.740
 deal with

00:39:06.740 --> 00:39:07.300
 the problem,

00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:08.260
 it's in

00:39:08.260 --> 00:39:08.800
 balls in

00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:09.280
 their court,

00:39:09.880 --> 00:39:10.360
 I'll live

00:39:10.360 --> 00:39:10.800
 without them.

00:39:12.760 --> 00:39:13.320
 Now,

00:39:13.619 --> 00:39:14.400
 that's

00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:16.119
 not great

00:39:16.119 --> 00:39:16.519
 in a

00:39:16.519 --> 00:39:16.860
 neighborhood.

00:39:18.420 --> 00:39:19.159
 But,

00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:19.800
 when you

00:39:19.800 --> 00:39:20.380
 have that

00:39:20.380 --> 00:39:20.880
 kind of

00:39:20.880 --> 00:39:21.579
 a situation

00:39:21.579 --> 00:39:22.480
 in a

00:39:22.480 --> 00:39:23.500
 family or

00:39:23.500 --> 00:39:23.780
 in a

00:39:23.780 --> 00:39:24.380
 church,

00:39:25.059 --> 00:39:25.800
 it's

00:39:25.800 --> 00:39:26.420
 deadly.

00:39:28.940 --> 00:39:29.659
 The

00:39:29.659 --> 00:39:30.300
 relationship's

00:39:30.300 --> 00:39:30.920
 been damaged,

00:39:31.059 --> 00:39:31.559
 it's not

00:39:31.559 --> 00:39:32.220
 growing.

00:39:33.220 --> 00:39:34.159
 As this

00:39:34.159 --> 00:39:35.039
 goes on,

00:39:35.260 --> 00:39:35.960
 the relationship

00:39:35.960 --> 00:39:37.420
 is dying.

00:39:37.420 --> 00:39:40.159
 is

00:39:40.159 --> 00:39:40.420
 good.

00:39:40.420 --> 00:39:40.740
 And,

00:39:40.740 --> 00:39:43.200
 as we

00:39:43.200 --> 00:39:44.019
 talked about

00:39:44.019 --> 00:39:44.680
 last week,

00:39:45.260 --> 00:39:46.500
 the goal

00:39:46.500 --> 00:39:46.960
 that God

00:39:46.960 --> 00:39:47.720
 has for us

00:39:47.720 --> 00:39:47.980
 in our

00:39:47.980 --> 00:39:48.559
 relationships

00:39:48.559 --> 00:39:49.360
 with others

00:39:49.360 --> 00:39:50.260
 is not

00:39:50.260 --> 00:39:51.059
 just that

00:39:51.059 --> 00:39:51.599
 they don't

00:39:51.599 --> 00:39:51.960
 have

00:39:51.960 --> 00:39:52.760
 hostility,

00:39:53.639 --> 00:39:54.280
 but that

00:39:54.280 --> 00:39:55.280
 the relationship

00:39:55.280 --> 00:39:56.720
 be good

00:39:56.720 --> 00:39:58.159
 and loving

00:39:58.159 --> 00:39:59.380
 and growing

00:39:59.380 --> 00:40:00.340
 and a

00:40:00.340 --> 00:40:01.059
 place where

00:40:01.059 --> 00:40:01.680
 God's

00:40:01.680 --> 00:40:02.360
 grace

00:40:02.360 --> 00:40:03.700
 is demonstrated

00:40:03.700 --> 00:40:04.400
 to the people

00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:04.700
 in the

00:40:04.700 --> 00:40:05.200
 relationship

00:40:05.200 --> 00:40:05.680
 and to the

00:40:05.680 --> 00:40:06.139
 world as a

00:40:06.139 --> 00:40:06.300
 whole.

00:40:06.300 --> 00:40:08.200
 So,

00:40:08.720 --> 00:40:10.300
 the next

00:40:10.300 --> 00:40:10.700
 step,

00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:11.680
 I suggest,

00:40:11.840 --> 00:40:12.140
 or a

00:40:12.140 --> 00:40:12.620
 next step

00:40:12.620 --> 00:40:13.240
 in restoring

00:40:13.240 --> 00:40:13.680
 a damaged

00:40:13.680 --> 00:40:14.280
 relationship

00:40:14.280 --> 00:40:15.800
 is to

00:40:15.800 --> 00:40:19.120
 respond

00:40:19.120 --> 00:40:20.080
 in love.

00:40:20.079 --> 00:40:21.079
 passage.

00:40:21.079 --> 00:40:22.079
 So,

00:40:22.079 --> 00:40:25.960
 once again,

00:40:26.119 --> 00:40:26.579
 I'm going

00:40:26.579 --> 00:40:27.480
 to need

00:40:27.480 --> 00:40:29.539
 people to

00:40:29.539 --> 00:40:30.159
 read

00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:31.480
 some

00:40:31.480 --> 00:40:32.059
 passages.

00:40:34.079 --> 00:40:34.659
 And,

00:40:34.739 --> 00:40:36.019
 would

00:40:36.019 --> 00:40:36.500
 somebody

00:40:36.500 --> 00:40:37.400
 be willing

00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:38.059
 to turn

00:40:38.059 --> 00:40:38.579
 to

00:40:38.579 --> 00:40:39.239
 Matthew

00:40:39.239 --> 00:40:41.199
 5,

00:40:41.299 --> 00:40:41.559
 verse

00:40:41.559 --> 00:40:42.179
 43?

00:40:42.739 --> 00:40:43.019
 And,

00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:44.400
 I'll ask

00:40:44.400 --> 00:40:44.739
 you a little

00:40:44.739 --> 00:40:45.119
 bit later

00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:45.460
 to read

00:40:45.460 --> 00:40:45.739
 that.

00:40:46.299 --> 00:40:46.539
 But,

00:40:46.579 --> 00:40:47.219
 could somebody

00:40:47.219 --> 00:40:47.819
 be ready

00:40:47.820 --> 00:40:48.039
 to do

00:40:48.039 --> 00:40:48.420
 that for

00:40:48.420 --> 00:40:48.580
 me?

00:40:49.260 --> 00:40:49.620
 Raise

00:40:49.620 --> 00:40:50.039
 your hand

00:40:50.039 --> 00:40:50.960
 if you'll

00:40:50.960 --> 00:40:51.660
 thank you.

00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:52.640
 And,

00:40:52.720 --> 00:40:53.000
 the second

00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:53.660
 passage,

00:40:53.820 --> 00:40:54.660
 1 John

00:40:54.660 --> 00:40:55.780
 3.16.

00:40:56.180 --> 00:40:56.700
 Not John

00:40:56.700 --> 00:40:57.240
 3.16,

00:40:57.440 --> 00:40:58.480
 but 1 John

00:40:58.480 --> 00:40:59.700
 3.16.

00:40:59.880 --> 00:41:00.340
 Would somebody

00:41:00.340 --> 00:41:00.880
 be willing

00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:01.360
 to read

00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:02.200
 that for us

00:41:02.200 --> 00:41:02.720
 in a little

00:41:02.720 --> 00:41:02.920
 bit?

00:41:03.000 --> 00:41:03.420
 Thank you,

00:41:03.500 --> 00:41:03.780
 Sam.

00:41:04.120 --> 00:41:04.800
 Sam E.

00:41:04.940 --> 00:41:05.620
 Sam E.

00:41:05.720 --> 00:41:06.240
 Thank you.

00:41:06.920 --> 00:41:07.360
 And,

00:41:07.460 --> 00:41:09.660
 the third

00:41:09.660 --> 00:41:11.260
 passage is

00:41:11.260 --> 00:41:11.760
 Luke

00:41:11.760 --> 00:41:13.380
 6.32.

00:41:13.380 --> 00:41:13.559
 2.

00:41:14.099 --> 00:41:14.380
 Would

00:41:14.380 --> 00:41:14.740
 somebody

00:41:14.740 --> 00:41:17.200
 be ready

00:41:17.200 --> 00:41:18.200
 and thank

00:41:18.200 --> 00:41:18.380
 you,

00:41:18.460 --> 00:41:18.780
 John?

00:41:19.119 --> 00:41:19.519
 Okay.

00:41:22.660 --> 00:41:23.300
 So,

00:41:23.420 --> 00:41:23.700
 as some

00:41:23.700 --> 00:41:23.940
 of you

00:41:23.940 --> 00:41:24.420
 are juggling

00:41:24.420 --> 00:41:25.099
 your Bibles

00:41:25.099 --> 00:41:25.559
 there,

00:41:26.099 --> 00:41:27.480
 I want

00:41:27.480 --> 00:41:27.800
 to draw

00:41:27.800 --> 00:41:28.400
 your attention

00:41:28.400 --> 00:41:29.380
 to this

00:41:29.380 --> 00:41:29.880
 section

00:41:29.880 --> 00:41:30.440
 of the

00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:30.880
 handout.

00:41:32.460 --> 00:41:33.079
 Responding

00:41:33.079 --> 00:41:33.700
 in love.

00:41:35.480 --> 00:41:36.079
 And,

00:41:36.180 --> 00:41:36.519
 I'd like

00:41:36.519 --> 00:41:36.760
 you to

00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:37.840
 look at

00:41:37.840 --> 00:41:39.059
 those three

00:41:39.059 --> 00:41:39.780
 aspects.

00:41:39.780 --> 00:41:42.680
 I affirm

00:41:42.680 --> 00:41:43.200
 that you

00:41:43.200 --> 00:41:43.880
 are loved

00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:44.640
 by God

00:41:44.640 --> 00:41:45.780
 and worthy

00:41:45.780 --> 00:41:46.240
 of my

00:41:46.240 --> 00:41:46.560
 love,

00:41:46.720 --> 00:41:46.820
 too.

00:41:48.600 --> 00:41:49.880
 I choose

00:41:49.880 --> 00:41:50.320
 to act

00:41:50.320 --> 00:41:51.000
 lovingly

00:41:51.000 --> 00:41:51.700
 towards you

00:41:51.700 --> 00:41:54.320
 and I

00:41:54.320 --> 00:41:55.700
 feel affection,

00:41:56.000 --> 00:41:56.600
 concern,

00:41:57.460 --> 00:41:57.920
 appreciation

00:41:57.920 --> 00:41:59.220
 for you.

00:42:00.740 --> 00:42:01.380
 Now,

00:42:02.600 --> 00:42:04.100
 normally,

00:42:04.360 --> 00:42:04.980
 in relationships

00:42:04.980 --> 00:42:05.460
 with other

00:42:05.460 --> 00:42:05.840
 people,

00:42:06.680 --> 00:42:07.560
 what order

00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:09.500
 do you

00:42:09.500 --> 00:42:09.880
 think

00:42:09.880 --> 00:42:11.659
 those three

00:42:11.659 --> 00:42:12.320
 aspects

00:42:12.320 --> 00:42:13.099
 of love

00:42:13.099 --> 00:42:14.019
 usually

00:42:14.019 --> 00:42:15.079
 come in?

00:42:22.259 --> 00:42:23.019
 For

00:42:23.019 --> 00:42:23.420
 example,

00:42:24.420 --> 00:42:25.599
 imagine

00:42:25.599 --> 00:42:28.739
 a one-year-old

00:42:28.739 --> 00:42:29.159
 child.

00:42:34.159 --> 00:42:34.840
 They're

00:42:34.840 --> 00:42:35.239
 growing

00:42:35.239 --> 00:42:35.799
 to love.

00:42:35.800 --> 00:42:38.440
 their

00:42:38.440 --> 00:42:38.740
 mother.

00:42:40.200 --> 00:42:40.440
 Do you

00:42:40.440 --> 00:42:40.800
 think the

00:42:40.800 --> 00:42:41.600
 first step

00:42:41.600 --> 00:42:42.220
 in their

00:42:42.220 --> 00:42:42.980
 growing to

00:42:42.980 --> 00:42:43.420
 love them

00:42:43.420 --> 00:42:43.880
 is,

00:42:44.940 --> 00:42:46.480
 mom,

00:42:46.600 --> 00:42:47.080
 I affirm

00:42:47.080 --> 00:42:47.380
 that you

00:42:47.380 --> 00:42:47.800
 are loved

00:42:47.800 --> 00:42:48.500
 by God

00:42:48.500 --> 00:42:49.039
 and I

00:42:49.039 --> 00:42:49.539
 want what

00:42:49.539 --> 00:42:49.960
 is best

00:42:49.960 --> 00:42:50.500
 for you.

00:42:55.780 --> 00:42:56.580
 I think

00:42:56.580 --> 00:42:57.240
 generally,

00:42:57.660 --> 00:42:58.580
 in our

00:42:58.580 --> 00:42:59.420
 experience,

00:42:59.740 --> 00:43:00.500
 the reverse

00:43:00.500 --> 00:43:02.000
 order is

00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:02.700
 what happens.

00:43:03.740 --> 00:43:04.200
 Somebody

00:43:04.199 --> 00:43:05.799
 acts lovingly

00:43:05.799 --> 00:43:06.839
 towards us.

00:43:07.500 --> 00:43:08.919
 We feel

00:43:08.919 --> 00:43:10.119
 affection for

00:43:10.119 --> 00:43:10.519
 them and

00:43:10.519 --> 00:43:10.819
 if that

00:43:10.819 --> 00:43:11.839
 happens often

00:43:11.839 --> 00:43:12.219
 enough,

00:43:12.279 --> 00:43:12.659
 it grows

00:43:12.659 --> 00:43:13.419
 into love

00:43:13.419 --> 00:43:14.000
 for them.

00:43:15.059 --> 00:43:15.639
 And then,

00:43:15.859 --> 00:43:16.500
 hopefully,

00:43:16.719 --> 00:43:17.259
 we not only

00:43:17.259 --> 00:43:18.139
 feel love

00:43:18.139 --> 00:43:18.559
 for them,

00:43:18.639 --> 00:43:18.899
 but we

00:43:18.899 --> 00:43:19.779
 start acting

00:43:19.779 --> 00:43:20.500
 lovingly

00:43:20.500 --> 00:43:21.000
 towards them

00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:21.460
 as well.

00:43:22.619 --> 00:43:23.679
 And then,

00:43:23.839 --> 00:43:24.639
 once we get

00:43:24.639 --> 00:43:25.219
 theologically

00:43:25.219 --> 00:43:26.000
 sophisticated,

00:43:26.839 --> 00:43:27.819
 we may

00:43:27.819 --> 00:43:28.639
 come to

00:43:28.639 --> 00:43:28.859
 say,

00:43:29.000 --> 00:43:29.319
 yes,

00:43:29.320 --> 00:43:30.920
 love

00:43:30.920 --> 00:43:32.019
 and just

00:43:32.019 --> 00:43:32.840
 as God

00:43:32.840 --> 00:43:33.539
 loves me,

00:43:34.120 --> 00:43:35.500
 he loves

00:43:35.500 --> 00:43:35.840
 them.

00:43:36.600 --> 00:43:38.280
 And I

00:43:38.280 --> 00:43:39.920
 should love

00:43:39.920 --> 00:43:41.100
 the people

00:43:41.100 --> 00:43:41.559
 I already

00:43:41.559 --> 00:43:42.680
 love and

00:43:42.680 --> 00:43:43.519
 as I have

00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:44.039
 opportunity,

00:43:44.260 --> 00:43:44.820
 love others.

00:43:46.600 --> 00:43:47.240
 But,

00:43:47.680 --> 00:43:48.620
 when you've

00:43:48.620 --> 00:43:48.980
 been in a

00:43:48.980 --> 00:43:49.500
 relationship

00:43:49.500 --> 00:43:50.160
 and it's

00:43:50.160 --> 00:43:50.760
 been damaged,

00:43:51.460 --> 00:43:53.539
 this,

00:43:53.780 --> 00:43:54.180
 I think,

00:43:54.360 --> 00:43:55.059
 is the

00:43:55.059 --> 00:43:56.059
 typical order

00:43:56.059 --> 00:43:57.559
 by which we

00:43:57.559 --> 00:43:58.239
 start to

00:43:58.239 --> 00:43:59.179
 respond in

00:43:59.179 --> 00:44:00.039
 love once

00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:00.340
 again.

00:44:02.820 --> 00:44:03.639
 Once we've

00:44:03.639 --> 00:44:03.940
 at least

00:44:03.940 --> 00:44:04.519
 started the

00:44:04.519 --> 00:44:05.239
 process of

00:44:05.239 --> 00:44:05.759
 renouncing

00:44:05.759 --> 00:44:06.239
 anger,

00:44:08.440 --> 00:44:10.279
 God may

00:44:10.279 --> 00:44:10.820
 bring to

00:44:10.820 --> 00:44:11.239
 mind,

00:44:12.139 --> 00:44:12.519
 you know,

00:44:12.779 --> 00:44:13.779
 I love

00:44:13.779 --> 00:44:15.019
 you and

00:44:15.019 --> 00:44:15.420
 I love

00:44:15.420 --> 00:44:16.420
 them too.

00:44:18.719 --> 00:44:19.579
 And you

00:44:19.579 --> 00:44:21.619
 should act

00:44:21.619 --> 00:44:22.460
 lovingly

00:44:22.460 --> 00:44:23.320
 towards them.

00:44:24.340 --> 00:44:24.820
 I don't

00:44:24.820 --> 00:44:25.059
 know if

00:44:25.059 --> 00:44:25.519
 Kirsten's

00:44:25.519 --> 00:44:25.840
 still here,

00:44:25.900 --> 00:44:26.079
 but I'm

00:44:26.079 --> 00:44:26.599
 so glad she

00:44:26.599 --> 00:44:27.099
 said that,

00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:27.539
 you know.

00:44:27.559 --> 00:44:28.019
 at the

00:44:28.019 --> 00:44:28.400
 beginning.

00:44:29.299 --> 00:44:29.940
 And so,

00:44:30.340 --> 00:44:31.079
 we might

00:44:31.079 --> 00:44:31.539
 hear God

00:44:31.539 --> 00:44:31.900
 saying,

00:44:32.539 --> 00:44:33.759
 and I

00:44:33.759 --> 00:44:34.500
 want you

00:44:34.500 --> 00:44:35.179
 to take

00:44:35.179 --> 00:44:37.179
 this step.

00:44:37.279 --> 00:44:37.460
 But,

00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:38.380
 that's the

00:44:38.380 --> 00:44:38.820
 second thing,

00:44:38.900 --> 00:44:39.400
 acting in

00:44:39.400 --> 00:44:39.519
 love.

00:44:39.599 --> 00:44:40.079
 First thing

00:44:40.079 --> 00:44:40.400
 is,

00:44:40.759 --> 00:44:41.019
 you know,

00:44:41.119 --> 00:44:41.799
 God speaking

00:44:41.799 --> 00:44:42.239
 to us and

00:44:42.239 --> 00:44:42.420
 saying,

00:44:42.559 --> 00:44:43.079
 I love

00:44:43.079 --> 00:44:43.299
 them,

00:44:43.440 --> 00:44:43.840
 I want

00:44:43.840 --> 00:44:44.219
 the best

00:44:44.219 --> 00:44:44.639
 for them.

00:44:46.179 --> 00:44:46.719
 Will you

00:44:46.719 --> 00:44:47.159
 join me

00:44:47.159 --> 00:44:47.519
 in that?

00:44:48.400 --> 00:44:48.860
 Would

00:44:48.860 --> 00:44:49.179
 somebody

00:44:49.179 --> 00:44:50.199
 please read

00:44:50.199 --> 00:44:51.679
 the Matthew

00:44:51.679 --> 00:44:52.340
 passage?

00:44:52.739 --> 00:44:53.259
 Matthew

00:44:53.259 --> 00:44:54.340
 5,

00:44:54.460 --> 00:44:55.199
 43,

00:44:55.719 --> 00:44:56.099
 through

00:44:56.099 --> 00:44:56.699
 48.

00:44:56.699 --> 00:44:58.519
 You have

00:44:58.519 --> 00:44:58.919
 heard that

00:44:58.919 --> 00:44:59.159
 it was

00:44:59.159 --> 00:44:59.419
 said,

00:44:59.519 --> 00:44:59.799
 you shall

00:44:59.799 --> 00:45:00.199
 love your

00:45:00.199 --> 00:45:00.819
 neighbor and

00:45:00.819 --> 00:45:01.500
 hate your

00:45:01.500 --> 00:45:01.839
 enemy.

00:45:02.439 --> 00:45:02.859
 But I

00:45:02.859 --> 00:45:03.539
 say to you,

00:45:03.719 --> 00:45:04.099
 love your

00:45:04.099 --> 00:45:04.619
 enemies and

00:45:04.619 --> 00:45:05.399
 pray for those

00:45:05.399 --> 00:45:06.039
 who persecute

00:45:06.039 --> 00:45:06.319
 you,

00:45:06.839 --> 00:45:07.799
 so that you

00:45:07.799 --> 00:45:08.399
 may be sons

00:45:08.399 --> 00:45:08.639
 of your

00:45:08.639 --> 00:45:09.219
 father who

00:45:09.219 --> 00:45:09.439
 is in

00:45:09.439 --> 00:45:09.679
 heaven.

00:45:10.359 --> 00:45:10.739
 For he

00:45:10.739 --> 00:45:11.179
 makes his

00:45:11.179 --> 00:45:11.819
 son rise

00:45:11.819 --> 00:45:12.299
 on the evil

00:45:12.299 --> 00:45:13.019
 and on the

00:45:13.019 --> 00:45:13.299
 good,

00:45:13.519 --> 00:45:14.019
 and sends

00:45:14.019 --> 00:45:14.779
 rain on the

00:45:14.779 --> 00:45:15.419
 just and on

00:45:15.419 --> 00:45:16.000
 the unjust.

00:45:16.539 --> 00:45:17.119
 For if you

00:45:17.119 --> 00:45:17.839
 love those who

00:45:17.839 --> 00:45:18.339
 love you,

00:45:18.819 --> 00:45:19.319
 what reward

00:45:19.319 --> 00:45:19.819
 do you have?

00:45:20.500 --> 00:45:21.099
 Do not even

00:45:21.099 --> 00:45:21.939
 the tax collectors

00:45:21.939 --> 00:45:22.599
 do the same?

00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:24.259
 And if you

00:45:24.259 --> 00:45:25.019
 greet only your

00:45:25.019 --> 00:45:25.420
 brothers,

00:45:25.880 --> 00:45:26.619
 what more are

00:45:26.619 --> 00:45:27.159
 you doing than

00:45:27.159 --> 00:45:27.500
 others?

00:45:28.019 --> 00:45:28.659
 Do not even

00:45:28.659 --> 00:45:29.500
 the Gentiles do

00:45:29.500 --> 00:45:29.940
 the same?

00:45:30.380 --> 00:45:30.960
 You therefore

00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:31.779
 must be perfect

00:45:31.779 --> 00:45:32.460
 as your heavenly

00:45:32.460 --> 00:45:33.079
 father is

00:45:33.079 --> 00:45:33.360
 perfect.

00:45:35.599 --> 00:45:36.380
 Thank you.

00:45:37.460 --> 00:45:38.019
 So,

00:45:38.960 --> 00:45:39.839
 as children

00:45:39.839 --> 00:45:40.420
 of God,

00:45:40.900 --> 00:45:41.940
 God calls us

00:45:41.940 --> 00:45:43.019
 to love

00:45:43.019 --> 00:45:43.440
 others,

00:45:43.860 --> 00:45:44.699
 even those

00:45:44.699 --> 00:45:45.319
 who treat us

00:45:45.319 --> 00:45:45.719
 badly,

00:45:46.059 --> 00:45:46.940
 just as

00:45:46.940 --> 00:45:49.219
 God so

00:45:49.219 --> 00:45:49.679
 loved the

00:45:49.679 --> 00:45:50.299
 world that he

00:45:50.299 --> 00:45:50.940
 sent Jesus

00:45:50.940 --> 00:45:51.780
 to die

00:45:51.780 --> 00:45:52.539
 for the

00:45:52.539 --> 00:45:53.280
 world while

00:45:53.280 --> 00:45:53.720
 we were

00:45:53.720 --> 00:45:54.200
 still his

00:45:54.200 --> 00:45:54.579
 enemies.

00:45:57.720 --> 00:45:58.159
 And,

00:45:58.440 --> 00:45:59.920
 let's say

00:45:59.920 --> 00:46:01.099
 you get to

00:46:01.099 --> 00:46:01.340
 the point,

00:46:01.420 --> 00:46:01.639
 okay,

00:46:02.240 --> 00:46:02.740
 yes,

00:46:03.360 --> 00:46:03.720
 Lord,

00:46:03.840 --> 00:46:04.480
 I want what's

00:46:04.480 --> 00:46:05.039
 best for them.

00:46:05.139 --> 00:46:05.539
 I want to

00:46:05.539 --> 00:46:05.880
 have a good

00:46:05.880 --> 00:46:06.659
 relationship with

00:46:06.659 --> 00:46:07.200
 them again,

00:46:08.220 --> 00:46:10.500
 but I don't

00:46:10.500 --> 00:46:12.260
 feel like

00:46:12.260 --> 00:46:13.280
 doing it,

00:46:13.579 --> 00:46:14.220
 doing anything.

00:46:14.340 --> 00:46:14.920
 I don't feel

00:46:14.920 --> 00:46:15.780
 maybe he's,

00:46:16.960 --> 00:46:17.800
 God's led you

00:46:17.800 --> 00:46:18.820
 to do something,

00:46:19.139 --> 00:46:19.579
 take another

00:46:19.579 --> 00:46:19.900
 step.

00:46:19.980 --> 00:46:20.760
 I don't feel

00:46:20.760 --> 00:46:21.220
 like doing

00:46:21.220 --> 00:46:21.520
 that.

00:46:24.500 --> 00:46:25.080
 Thank you,

00:46:25.140 --> 00:46:25.400
 those who

00:46:25.400 --> 00:46:25.600
 are going

00:46:25.600 --> 00:46:25.800
 to read

00:46:25.800 --> 00:46:26.100
 the other

00:46:26.100 --> 00:46:26.540
 passages.

00:46:26.800 --> 00:46:27.320
 I'll leave

00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:28.780
 you if

00:46:28.780 --> 00:46:30.500
 you generally

00:46:30.500 --> 00:46:31.120
 want to

00:46:31.120 --> 00:46:31.500
 read those

00:46:31.500 --> 00:46:31.820
 later.

00:46:32.820 --> 00:46:33.260
 But,

00:46:33.360 --> 00:46:33.940
 I want to

00:46:33.940 --> 00:46:35.240
 finish with

00:46:35.240 --> 00:46:36.320
 this

00:46:36.320 --> 00:46:37.060
 illustration.

00:46:37.900 --> 00:46:38.340
 Some of

00:46:38.340 --> 00:46:38.660
 you have

00:46:38.660 --> 00:46:39.440
 heard the

00:46:39.440 --> 00:46:39.720
 name

00:46:39.720 --> 00:46:40.240
 Corrie

00:46:40.240 --> 00:46:40.960
 Ten Boom.

00:46:42.220 --> 00:46:42.980
 She was

00:46:42.980 --> 00:46:43.440
 a Christian

00:46:43.440 --> 00:46:44.660
 woman who

00:46:44.660 --> 00:46:46.400
 helped a

00:46:46.400 --> 00:46:46.980
 number of

00:46:46.980 --> 00:46:48.360
 Jews escape

00:46:48.360 --> 00:46:48.880
 from the

00:46:48.880 --> 00:46:49.560
 Nazis during

00:46:49.560 --> 00:46:50.080
 World War

00:46:50.080 --> 00:46:50.380
 II.

00:46:50.760 --> 00:46:51.080
 But,

00:46:51.140 --> 00:46:51.460
 eventually,

00:46:51.680 --> 00:46:52.240
 they discovered

00:46:52.240 --> 00:46:52.840
 her and

00:46:52.840 --> 00:46:53.260
 her family

00:46:53.260 --> 00:46:54.000
 doing this

00:46:54.000 --> 00:46:54.880
 and she,

00:46:55.080 --> 00:46:55.520
 her father,

00:46:55.620 --> 00:46:55.900
 and her

00:46:55.900 --> 00:46:56.640
 sister were

00:46:56.640 --> 00:46:57.220
 taken off to

00:46:57.220 --> 00:46:57.780
 a concentration

00:46:57.780 --> 00:46:59.060
 camp themselves.

00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:02.400
 Her father and

00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:03.500
 sister died there,

00:47:03.620 --> 00:47:04.080
 but she

00:47:04.080 --> 00:47:04.800
 survived.

00:47:05.680 --> 00:47:05.920
 And,

00:47:05.960 --> 00:47:06.800
 there's a book

00:47:06.800 --> 00:47:07.540
 written about her

00:47:07.540 --> 00:47:08.560
 experience by her,

00:47:08.720 --> 00:47:09.060
 The Hiding

00:47:09.060 --> 00:47:09.480
 Place,

00:47:09.540 --> 00:47:10.000
 and there was a

00:47:10.000 --> 00:47:11.040
 movie some

00:47:11.040 --> 00:47:11.840
 years ago made

00:47:11.840 --> 00:47:13.160
 about,

00:47:13.500 --> 00:47:14.300
 based on the

00:47:14.300 --> 00:47:14.480
 book.

00:47:14.620 --> 00:47:15.120
 Really good

00:47:15.120 --> 00:47:15.440
 movie.

00:47:15.440 --> 00:47:15.559
 story.

00:47:17.320 --> 00:47:17.700
 But,

00:47:17.940 --> 00:47:19.820
 after she

00:47:19.820 --> 00:47:20.200
 wrote the

00:47:20.200 --> 00:47:20.440
 book,

00:47:20.599 --> 00:47:21.240
 she became

00:47:21.240 --> 00:47:21.780
 a speaker

00:47:21.780 --> 00:47:23.260
 and she

00:47:23.260 --> 00:47:23.780
 went around

00:47:23.780 --> 00:47:24.280
 the churches

00:47:24.280 --> 00:47:24.679
 and other

00:47:24.679 --> 00:47:25.700
 places telling

00:47:25.700 --> 00:47:26.240
 about her

00:47:26.240 --> 00:47:27.559
 experience and

00:47:27.559 --> 00:47:28.220
 preaching the

00:47:28.220 --> 00:47:28.519
 gospel.

00:47:29.400 --> 00:47:29.880
 On one

00:47:29.880 --> 00:47:30.280
 occasion,

00:47:30.539 --> 00:47:30.920
 she came

00:47:30.920 --> 00:47:31.440
 face to

00:47:31.440 --> 00:47:32.559
 face with

00:47:32.559 --> 00:47:33.420
 one of the

00:47:33.420 --> 00:47:34.900
 cruelest guards

00:47:34.900 --> 00:47:35.320
 in the

00:47:35.320 --> 00:47:35.800
 concentration

00:47:35.800 --> 00:47:36.920
 camp who

00:47:36.920 --> 00:47:37.880
 had abused

00:47:37.880 --> 00:47:39.119
 her and

00:47:39.119 --> 00:47:39.760
 her sister

00:47:39.760 --> 00:47:40.659
 terribly.

00:47:40.659 --> 00:47:42.659
 And,

00:47:42.739 --> 00:47:43.000
 he came

00:47:43.000 --> 00:47:43.359
 up to

00:47:43.359 --> 00:47:45.699
 her and

00:47:45.699 --> 00:47:46.159
 held out

00:47:46.159 --> 00:47:46.779
 his hand

00:47:46.779 --> 00:47:47.619
 and said,

00:47:47.940 --> 00:47:48.619
 will you

00:47:48.619 --> 00:47:49.579
 forgive me?

00:47:59.460 --> 00:48:00.139
 And,

00:48:00.219 --> 00:48:00.719
 this is what

00:48:00.719 --> 00:48:01.399
 she wrote.

00:48:02.019 --> 00:48:03.019
 I stood

00:48:03.019 --> 00:48:03.920
 there with

00:48:03.920 --> 00:48:04.779
 coldness

00:48:04.779 --> 00:48:05.519
 clutching at

00:48:05.519 --> 00:48:06.019
 my heart,

00:48:06.420 --> 00:48:07.579
 but I knew

00:48:07.579 --> 00:48:09.179
 that the

00:48:09.179 --> 00:48:09.699
 will can

00:48:09.699 --> 00:48:10.159
 function

00:48:10.159 --> 00:48:11.239
 regardless of

00:48:11.239 --> 00:48:11.819
 the temperature

00:48:11.819 --> 00:48:12.259
 of the

00:48:12.259 --> 00:48:12.579
 heart.

00:48:12.980 --> 00:48:13.639
 I prayed,

00:48:13.839 --> 00:48:14.179
 Jesus,

00:48:14.480 --> 00:48:14.980
 help me.

00:48:16.059 --> 00:48:16.659
 Woodenly,

00:48:16.839 --> 00:48:17.519
 mechanically,

00:48:17.699 --> 00:48:18.159
 I thrust

00:48:18.159 --> 00:48:18.940
 my hand

00:48:18.940 --> 00:48:20.219
 into the

00:48:20.219 --> 00:48:21.420
 one stretched

00:48:21.420 --> 00:48:21.859
 out to

00:48:21.859 --> 00:48:22.879
 me and

00:48:22.879 --> 00:48:23.779
 I experienced

00:48:23.779 --> 00:48:24.500
 an incredible

00:48:24.500 --> 00:48:24.899
 thing.

00:48:25.719 --> 00:48:26.339
 The current

00:48:26.339 --> 00:48:27.199
 started in

00:48:27.199 --> 00:48:27.819
 my shoulder,

00:48:28.039 --> 00:48:28.500
 ran down

00:48:28.500 --> 00:48:29.339
 my arm,

00:48:29.480 --> 00:48:30.279
 and sprang

00:48:30.279 --> 00:48:30.879
 into our

00:48:30.879 --> 00:48:31.440
 clutched

00:48:31.440 --> 00:48:31.859
 hands.

00:48:32.739 --> 00:48:33.139
 Then,

00:48:33.239 --> 00:48:34.139
 this warm

00:48:34.139 --> 00:48:35.319
 reconciliation

00:48:35.319 --> 00:48:36.239
 seemed to

00:48:36.239 --> 00:48:36.799
 flood my

00:48:36.799 --> 00:48:37.659
 whole being,

00:48:38.319 --> 00:48:38.960
 bringing tears

00:48:38.960 --> 00:48:39.319
 to my

00:48:39.319 --> 00:48:39.739
 eyes.

00:48:40.159 --> 00:48:41.239
 I forgive

00:48:41.239 --> 00:48:41.579
 you,

00:48:41.699 --> 00:48:41.899
 brother,

00:48:42.299 --> 00:48:42.980
 I cried

00:48:42.980 --> 00:48:43.579
 with my

00:48:43.579 --> 00:48:44.219
 whole heart.

00:48:45.219 --> 00:48:45.960
 For a

00:48:45.960 --> 00:48:46.519
 long moment,

00:48:46.639 --> 00:48:47.519
 we grasped

00:48:47.519 --> 00:48:48.079
 each other's

00:48:48.079 --> 00:48:48.500
 hands,

00:48:49.000 --> 00:48:49.539
 the former

00:48:49.539 --> 00:48:49.980
 guard,

00:48:50.299 --> 00:48:50.719
 the former

00:48:50.719 --> 00:48:51.179
 prisoner.

00:48:51.739 --> 00:48:52.539
 I have

00:48:52.539 --> 00:48:54.119
 never known

00:48:54.119 --> 00:48:54.859
 the love

00:48:54.859 --> 00:48:55.399
 of God

00:48:55.399 --> 00:48:56.179
 so intensely

00:48:56.179 --> 00:48:57.480
 as I did

00:48:57.480 --> 00:48:58.059
 at that

00:48:58.059 --> 00:48:58.460
 moment.

00:48:59.899 --> 00:49:00.920
 Point being,

00:49:00.920 --> 00:49:03.880
 in a

00:49:03.880 --> 00:49:05.360
 situation like

00:49:05.360 --> 00:49:06.119
 a damaged

00:49:06.119 --> 00:49:06.840
 relationship,

00:49:06.840 --> 00:49:08.920
 it is

00:49:08.920 --> 00:49:09.559
 usually

00:49:09.559 --> 00:49:10.960
 that

00:49:10.960 --> 00:49:12.500
 by God's

00:49:12.500 --> 00:49:12.980
 grace we

00:49:12.980 --> 00:49:14.380

00:49:14.380 --> 00:49:14.800
 first,

00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:16.460
 and then

00:49:16.460 --> 00:49:18.420
 the feelings

00:49:18.420 --> 00:49:19.460
 follow.

00:49:20.460 --> 00:49:21.500
 So don't

00:49:21.500 --> 00:49:21.820
 wait

00:49:21.820 --> 00:49:24.019
 to feel

00:49:24.019 --> 00:49:24.880
 loving in a

00:49:24.880 --> 00:49:25.700
 situation like

00:49:25.700 --> 00:49:26.000
 that.
