00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.179
 Acts chapter 3, starting at verse 1.

00:00:05.719 --> 00:00:11.040
 Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.

00:00:12.040 --> 00:00:17.879
 And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple

00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:22.219
 that's called the Beautiful Gate, to ask alms of those entering the temple.

00:00:23.539 --> 00:00:27.820
 Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive alms.

00:00:27.820 --> 00:00:39.020
 And Peter directed his gaze at him, as did John, and said, look at us.

00:00:40.020 --> 00:00:44.019
 And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them.

00:00:44.939 --> 00:00:51.560
 But Peter said, I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you.

00:00:51.560 --> 00:01:00.660
 In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.

00:01:01.820 --> 00:01:10.599
 And he took him by the right hand, raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong.

00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:22.500
 And leaping up, he stood and began to walk and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.

00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:33.500
 And all the people saw him walking and praising God and recognised him as the one who sat at the beautiful gate of the temple asking for alms.

00:01:33.500 --> 00:01:39.900
 And they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:51.140
 While he clung to Peter and John, all the people, utterly astounded, ran together to them in the portico called Solomon's.

00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.099
 And when Peter saw it, he addressed the people.

00:01:55.099 --> 00:02:01.019
 Men of Israel, why do you wonder at this?

00:02:01.679 --> 00:02:07.959
 Or why do you stare at us, as though by our own power or piety we have made him walk?

00:02:09.340 --> 00:02:20.859
 The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his servant Jesus,

00:02:20.860 --> 00:02:28.660
 whom you delivered over and denied in the presence of Pilate when he decided to release him.

00:02:29.780 --> 00:02:36.280
 But you denied the holy and righteous one and asked for a murderer to be granted to you.

00:02:36.620 --> 00:02:40.720
 And you killed the author of life, whom God raised from the dead.

00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:43.660
 To this we are witnesses.

00:02:43.659 --> 00:02:52.000
 And his name, by faith in his name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know.

00:02:52.740 --> 00:03:00.680
 And the faith that is through Jesus has given the man this perfect health in the presence of you all.

00:03:04.460 --> 00:03:09.919
 And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as also did your rulers.

00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:19.419
 For what God foretold by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer, he thus fulfilled.

00:03:21.379 --> 00:03:26.539
 Repent, therefore, turn back, that your sins may be blotted out,

00:03:26.939 --> 00:03:30.379
 that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,

00:03:30.539 --> 00:03:34.060
 and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus,

00:03:34.060 --> 00:03:42.439
 whom heaven must receive until the time for restoring all the things about which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago.

00:03:44.860 --> 00:03:45.920
 Moses said,

00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.780
 The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers.

00:03:51.460 --> 00:03:54.800
 You shall listen to him in whatever he tells you,

00:03:54.800 --> 00:04:02.539
 and it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet shall be destroyed from the people.

00:04:02.539 --> 00:04:10.780
 And all the prophets who have spoken from Samuel and those who came after him also proclaimed these days.

00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:18.300
 You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your fathers,

00:04:18.459 --> 00:04:19.439
 saying to Abraham,

00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:25.240
 And in your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:29.000
 God, having raised up his servant,

00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:37.900
 sent him to you first to bless you by turning every one of you from your wickedness.

00:04:39.900 --> 00:04:42.800
 Okay, well, the allure of gold.

00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.240
 It's been a constant in human history, I think.

00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:59.400
 It's a universal symbol of power, wealth, security, grandeur and extravagance.

00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:05.280
 Kings have decorated their palaces with gold.

00:05:06.620 --> 00:05:14.259
 Ancient societies, their high status people were buried with huge quantities of gold for the next life even.

00:05:14.259 --> 00:05:20.860
 Major temples of major religions absolutely glitter with gold.

00:05:22.939 --> 00:05:27.180
 Every currency in the world, as far as I know, is secured by gold.

00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:33.060
 We reward our top athletes with gold medallions.

00:05:34.659 --> 00:05:37.740
 The movie industry has thrived on the notion of gold.

00:05:38.740 --> 00:05:39.519
 A gold fever.

00:05:40.539 --> 00:05:41.620
 The quest for gold.

00:05:41.620 --> 00:05:44.560
 The fact that people will kill for gold and so on and so forth.

00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:47.959
 The allure of gold.

00:05:52.060 --> 00:05:56.060
 This morning as we continue our series on Acts called The Unstoppable Jesus,

00:05:56.660 --> 00:06:02.680
 we're actually confronted with something that's presented to us as better than gold.

00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:11.879
 And that is the power of Jesus to give us a fresh start.

00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:22.460
 To give the lifeless and the hopeless a fresh start through forgiveness, renewal and reconnection to God and his rich blessing.

00:06:22.459 --> 00:06:35.099
 Remember Luke's purpose in writing the Acts was to record what Jesus continued to do and to teach after he was resurrected and taken back to heaven.

00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:43.399
 Which is gathering all those he died for into his kingdom community, the church.

00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:50.560
 And already in the story we've come across some really radical things.

00:06:50.659 --> 00:06:55.599
 We've seen the radical fulfillment of God's promise to deliver the Holy Spirit.

00:06:56.339 --> 00:06:59.899
 And we've seen a radical change in a large number of people.

00:07:00.219 --> 00:07:04.839
 And we've seen a radical new community, the church, emerging as a result of that change.

00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:12.639
 And this morning we're going to be confronted with something equally radical.

00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.679
 That is a radical new salvation pathway to Jesus.

00:07:19.500 --> 00:07:21.339
 So jump into chapter 3 with me.

00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:27.120
 The incident begins with a very public healing of a very public figure.

00:07:28.379 --> 00:07:34.259
 A man who had lived with a profound physical disability since birth.

00:07:34.259 --> 00:07:38.180
 And in chapter 4 verse 22 it's later identified that this man was in his 40s.

00:07:39.379 --> 00:07:43.459
 A lifetime of severe physical disability.

00:07:43.779 --> 00:07:46.800
 Unable to walk or move by himself.

00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:52.019
 Reduced to begging in order simply to survive.

00:07:54.620 --> 00:07:57.939
 His life would have been life full of shame.

00:07:59.620 --> 00:08:00.219
 Hardship.

00:08:00.220 --> 00:08:05.600
 And utter dependence on the generosity of others.

00:08:06.100 --> 00:08:09.140
 Which doesn't sound much to us but we all love our autonomy, don't we?

00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:17.600
 The generosity of others both to carry him to his spot, we're told, every afternoon.

00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:24.200
 And also the generosity of, well, strangers after 40 years perhaps.

00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:27.220
 Generosity of others to give him money to survive.

00:08:29.260 --> 00:08:36.700
 And goodness only knows what other help he needed on a daily basis given his extended paralysis.

00:08:36.700 --> 00:08:47.300
 And here he is, as the story tells us, positioned at the main entrance into the temple, which is called the Beautiful Gate.

00:08:47.580 --> 00:08:55.220
 Now that Beautiful Gate, if the historians are right, is a tiring, a tiring 20 meter high doorway.

00:08:56.259 --> 00:08:57.280
 Double doors, in fact.

00:08:57.400 --> 00:08:58.960
 Made of Corinthian bronze.

00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:03.660
 Tons and tons of Corinthian bronze.

00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:12.360
 Josephus said it was called the Beautiful Gate because that gateway of all the gateways into the temple, that was far more beautiful than the other gateways.

00:09:12.560 --> 00:09:13.320
 Listen for it.

00:09:13.660 --> 00:09:15.680
 Made of, overlaid with silver and gold.

00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:18.840
 This was a stunning place.

00:09:19.400 --> 00:09:22.860
 A stunningly beautiful place where this man was sitting.

00:09:22.860 --> 00:09:31.259
 But that immediately throws us into a contrast because this man's life was devoid of beauty.

00:09:34.539 --> 00:09:38.220
 He would have been a social and religious outcast.

00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:44.080
 His fellow Jews would have looked at him.

00:09:44.340 --> 00:09:52.680
 They may well have given him money, but they still would have looked at him from a distance and seen him as one cursed by God because of his physical disability.

00:09:52.860 --> 00:10:08.519
 And in fact, it's a little bit ambiguous in intertestamental history, but the most likely scenario is that this man, because of his physical disability, was actually barred from going into the temple proper.

00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:21.259
 He had a form of life, but really was lifeless.

00:10:22.860 --> 00:10:23.960
 He was a little bit more.

00:10:24.019 --> 00:10:24.659
 And hopeless.

00:10:26.659 --> 00:10:29.019
 Beyond the help of medical facilities.

00:10:30.419 --> 00:10:32.460
 Beyond the help of his family, his friends.

00:10:33.379 --> 00:10:35.279
 Beyond the help even of Judaism.

00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:37.620
 The religion of his birth.

00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:51.120
 And into that moment, Peter, with very little fuss, declares the man healed in the name of Jesus.

00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:56.399
 and as proof of those words

00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:58.179
 the guy's on his feet

00:10:58.179 --> 00:11:01.580
 which means not just instant muscle strength

00:11:01.580 --> 00:11:04.440
 but instant neuroreceptor connections

00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:06.700
 right down to tell his brain to leap and jump

00:11:06.700 --> 00:11:08.039
 and go crazy

00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:15.399
 and he follows them into the temple

00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:17.320
 or goes with them into the temple

00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:19.360
 bouncing with excitement

00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:21.060
 and why wouldn't he be

00:11:21.059 --> 00:11:24.779
 and giving credit to God

00:11:24.779 --> 00:11:29.379
 and the crowd were stunned

00:11:29.379 --> 00:11:31.019
 why wouldn't they be

00:11:31.019 --> 00:11:36.159
 and then Peter seizes the moment

00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:37.899
 to put the whole thing

00:11:37.899 --> 00:11:40.759
 into the context of Jesus and salvation

00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:47.379
 so I want to just stop there in a sense

00:11:47.379 --> 00:11:49.479
 and prop there for a moment

00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:50.460
 because first and foremost

00:11:50.460 --> 00:11:51.560
 I want to suggest to us

00:11:51.560 --> 00:11:53.120
 as we unpack this text

00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:55.800
 that this incident is a further confirmation

00:11:56.460 --> 00:12:00.960
 of Jesus as Messiah and Saviour

00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:03.500
 rather than being about miracles

00:12:03.500 --> 00:12:05.200
 let me try and explain that

00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:07.500
 there's a strong parallel

00:12:07.500 --> 00:12:09.379
 in the way Luke structures

00:12:09.379 --> 00:12:11.379
 chapter 2 and chapter 3

00:12:11.379 --> 00:12:12.480
 now they're in the original text

00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:13.399
 there weren't chapter divisions

00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:14.360
 but there were still divisions

00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:16.240
 there's a strong parallel

00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:17.060
 between that

00:12:17.060 --> 00:12:19.379
 which we call Acts 2 and Acts 3

00:12:19.379 --> 00:12:23.399
 each begins with a supernatural event

00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:25.320
 but in each situation

00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:27.100
 the focus very quickly moves away

00:12:27.100 --> 00:12:28.620
 from that supernatural event

00:12:28.620 --> 00:12:30.960
 to understanding the event

00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:34.740
 in terms of the unstoppable Jesus

00:12:34.740 --> 00:12:39.899
 both the supernatural arrival

00:12:39.899 --> 00:12:40.960
 of the Holy Spirit

00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:42.159
 in Acts chapter 2

00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:45.379
 and this miracle in Acts chapter 3

00:12:45.379 --> 00:12:45.940
 I believe

00:12:45.940 --> 00:12:48.399
 are symbolic confirmation

00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:50.940
 that the long promise

00:12:50.940 --> 00:12:53.039
 the long awaited Messiah

00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:54.539
 the age of salvation

00:12:54.539 --> 00:12:55.340
 that he would bring

00:12:55.340 --> 00:12:56.779
 had arrived

00:12:56.779 --> 00:12:59.039
 and it had arrived in Jesus

00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:03.480
 and in each incident

00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:05.019
 Peter makes clear

00:13:05.019 --> 00:13:05.819
 as he steps up

00:13:05.819 --> 00:13:06.639
 and addresses the crowd

00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:07.879
 Peter makes clear

00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:09.819
 in the way he interprets it

00:13:09.819 --> 00:13:10.379
 for the crowd

00:13:10.379 --> 00:13:12.259
 what they've just seen

00:13:12.259 --> 00:13:14.899
 not only is Jesus unstoppable

00:13:14.899 --> 00:13:17.219
 is what Peter's effectively saying

00:13:17.219 --> 00:13:21.199
 but Jesus is also God's pathway

00:13:21.199 --> 00:13:23.620
 to salvation and renewal

00:13:23.620 --> 00:13:26.019
 that which was promised long ago

00:13:26.019 --> 00:13:27.399
 through the prophets

00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:28.719
 to come through Messiah

00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:29.800
 well this is it

00:13:29.800 --> 00:13:31.500
 Jesus is him

00:13:31.500 --> 00:13:33.399
 the time has arrived

00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:38.360
 salvation is among us

00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:40.320
 in the person of Jesus

00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:42.340
 and further confirmation of that

00:13:42.340 --> 00:13:44.139
 I think is hidden in verse 8

00:13:44.139 --> 00:13:45.060
 of chapter 3

00:13:45.060 --> 00:13:48.740
 that part that sounds familiar to us

00:13:48.740 --> 00:13:50.580
 walking and leaping

00:13:50.580 --> 00:13:51.420
 and praising God

00:13:51.420 --> 00:13:52.820
 if that sounds a bit familiar

00:13:52.820 --> 00:13:53.879
 it's because it's the language

00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:54.519
 of Isaiah

00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:56.259
 it's also the language

00:13:56.259 --> 00:13:57.639
 of Handel's Messiah

00:13:57.639 --> 00:13:59.240
 but not many of you

00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:00.299
 necessarily would know that

00:14:00.299 --> 00:14:02.480
 it's familiar to us

00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:05.740
 and so I think what Luke

00:14:05.740 --> 00:14:06.259
 has done here

00:14:06.259 --> 00:14:07.720
 is deliberately use

00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:09.220
 the language of Isaiah

00:14:09.220 --> 00:14:11.539
 because the context

00:14:11.539 --> 00:14:12.919
 in which Isaiah wrote

00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:14.740
 was exactly this

00:14:14.740 --> 00:14:16.419
 that you will recognize

00:14:16.419 --> 00:14:17.799
 the age of salvation

00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:18.799
 when it dawns among you

00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:20.100
 you will recognize Messiah

00:14:20.100 --> 00:14:21.460
 because the lamb

00:14:21.460 --> 00:14:22.559
 will leap for joy

00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:27.019
 there will be supernatural events

00:14:27.019 --> 00:14:28.879
 that will just be radical

00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:29.819
 and beyond belief

00:14:29.819 --> 00:14:32.859
 Luke's telling us

00:14:32.859 --> 00:14:35.459
 that this also is a confirmation

00:14:35.459 --> 00:14:37.699
 of Jesus as Messiah

00:14:37.699 --> 00:14:39.339
 Jesus as God's Savior

00:14:39.339 --> 00:14:40.799
 and God's King

00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:44.819
 now I just got to stop there

00:14:44.819 --> 00:14:45.719
 and I want everybody to listen

00:14:45.719 --> 00:14:46.559
 really really carefully

00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:47.659
 because I don't want to have

00:14:47.659 --> 00:14:49.159
 150 conversations after

00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:50.539
 this morning

00:14:50.539 --> 00:14:52.819
 I am not saying

00:14:52.819 --> 00:14:55.139
 I'm not suggesting

00:14:55.139 --> 00:14:55.779
 for a moment

00:14:55.779 --> 00:14:57.500
 that the Lord

00:14:57.500 --> 00:14:58.779
 does not ever heal

00:14:58.779 --> 00:14:59.719
 people physically

00:14:59.719 --> 00:15:02.059
 these days

00:15:02.059 --> 00:15:05.759
 I am saying

00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:07.319
 that this healing

00:15:07.319 --> 00:15:09.240
 is not a blueprint

00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:10.100
 for us

00:15:10.100 --> 00:15:11.559
 to repeat

00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:12.439
 as we seek

00:15:12.439 --> 00:15:13.879
 to do evangelism

00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:15.240
 as we seek to convince people

00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:16.539
 to believe in Jesus

00:15:16.539 --> 00:15:22.399
 the point here

00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:23.299
 I think is

00:15:23.299 --> 00:15:24.559
 that Jesus

00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:25.659
 radically

00:15:25.659 --> 00:15:27.299
 changes life

00:15:27.299 --> 00:15:28.339
 lives

00:15:28.339 --> 00:15:29.480
 from the inside out

00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:30.980
 as the prophets

00:15:30.980 --> 00:15:32.199
 predicted

00:15:32.199 --> 00:15:33.559
 Messiah would do

00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:35.599
 change hearts of stone

00:15:35.599 --> 00:15:36.939
 to living creatures

00:15:36.939 --> 00:15:39.099
 take dead people

00:15:39.099 --> 00:15:40.039
 spiritually dead people

00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:41.000
 and make them alive

00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:44.079
 that's the point

00:15:44.079 --> 00:15:45.039
 that's on show here

00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:46.439
 Jesus

00:15:46.439 --> 00:15:48.000
 is the one

00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:49.039
 who's doing that

00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:50.579
 dramatically

00:15:50.579 --> 00:15:52.620
 and noticeably

00:15:52.620 --> 00:15:55.519
 now friends

00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:56.500
 I think you'd have to say

00:15:56.500 --> 00:15:56.939
 with me

00:15:56.939 --> 00:15:58.219
 that there is

00:15:58.219 --> 00:15:59.360
 there is no more

00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:00.620
 compelling evidence

00:16:00.620 --> 00:16:03.120
 compelling testimony

00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:04.799
 to the power

00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:05.539
 and desire

00:16:05.539 --> 00:16:06.159
 of Jesus

00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:07.919
 to renew us

00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:10.079
 than a radically

00:16:10.079 --> 00:16:10.839
 changed life

00:16:10.839 --> 00:16:11.959
 and this is the life

00:16:11.959 --> 00:16:13.319
 we see before us

00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:14.660
 the emphasis here

00:16:14.660 --> 00:16:15.540
 immediately goes

00:16:15.540 --> 00:16:16.240
 to this guy

00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:17.260
 once he's healed

00:16:17.260 --> 00:16:19.520
 going to praise God

00:16:19.520 --> 00:16:28.560
 spiritual and physical healing

00:16:28.560 --> 00:16:29.840
 parallel each other

00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:31.420
 go back to Mark chapter 2

00:16:31.420 --> 00:16:33.060
 the healing of the paralytic

00:16:33.060 --> 00:16:34.620
 in Christ's early ministry

00:16:34.620 --> 00:16:38.260
 spiritual and physical healing

00:16:38.260 --> 00:16:39.960
 parallel each other

00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:41.580
 and Christ has the power

00:16:41.580 --> 00:16:42.520
 to do both

00:16:42.520 --> 00:16:45.560
 Christ's ability

00:16:45.560 --> 00:16:46.160
 to heal

00:16:46.160 --> 00:16:47.560
 physical afflictions

00:16:47.560 --> 00:16:49.320
 testifies

00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:50.740
 to the power

00:16:50.740 --> 00:16:52.080
 that is less visible

00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:53.860
 but perhaps

00:16:53.860 --> 00:16:55.220
 more eternally significant

00:16:55.220 --> 00:16:58.240
 the power

00:16:58.240 --> 00:16:59.360
 to heal our souls

00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:00.920
 the power

00:17:00.920 --> 00:17:01.620
 to renew us

00:17:01.620 --> 00:17:02.420
 from the inside out

00:17:02.420 --> 00:17:07.240
 moving on then

00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:08.259
 the pathway

00:17:08.259 --> 00:17:09.759
 to salvation

00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:10.579
 that has been set

00:17:10.579 --> 00:17:10.980
 out here

00:17:10.980 --> 00:17:11.539
 in Jesus

00:17:11.539 --> 00:17:13.220
 exposes real

00:17:13.220 --> 00:17:14.279
 spiritual need

00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:17.079
 not perceived

00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:17.859
 desires

00:17:17.859 --> 00:17:18.980
 I'm trying to set up

00:17:18.980 --> 00:17:19.440
 a little bit of

00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:20.200
 contrast there

00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:20.839
 in my headings

00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:23.500
 now what's the

00:17:23.500 --> 00:17:24.920
 immediate perceived

00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:25.440
 need

00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:26.660
 of this

00:17:26.660 --> 00:17:27.779
 disabled man

00:17:27.779 --> 00:17:28.960
 in the story

00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:30.819
 apparently

00:17:30.819 --> 00:17:31.539
 it's money

00:17:31.539 --> 00:17:35.480
 he wants money

00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:36.019
 because

00:17:36.019 --> 00:17:36.700
 money

00:17:36.700 --> 00:17:37.579
 is the only

00:17:37.579 --> 00:17:38.799
 thing that he can see

00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:39.919
 which will alleviate

00:17:39.919 --> 00:17:41.940
 his terrible situation

00:17:41.940 --> 00:17:43.519
 and deliver him

00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:45.879
 the best version

00:17:45.879 --> 00:17:46.379
 of life

00:17:46.379 --> 00:17:47.200
 that he could expect

00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:47.759
 to have

00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:49.119
 which is pretty miserable

00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:50.259
 but nevertheless

00:17:50.259 --> 00:17:51.559
 it will be the best version

00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:52.279
 he could expect

00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:56.359
 as I said before

00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:56.879
 though alive

00:17:56.879 --> 00:17:57.720
 he was lifeless

00:17:57.720 --> 00:17:58.379
 hopeless

00:17:58.379 --> 00:18:00.220
 it was totally

00:18:00.220 --> 00:18:01.200
 lacking autonomy

00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:03.079
 given his dependence

00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:03.740
 on others

00:18:03.740 --> 00:18:05.640
 his reality

00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:07.539
 his reality

00:18:07.539 --> 00:18:08.140
 was just

00:18:08.140 --> 00:18:08.720
 daily

00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:09.519
 desperation

00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:13.759
 but there's nothing

00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:14.380
 wrong with his head

00:18:14.380 --> 00:18:14.980
 I don't think

00:18:14.980 --> 00:18:17.319
 he was very pragmatic

00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:18.059
 I suspect

00:18:18.059 --> 00:18:18.819
 this guy

00:18:18.819 --> 00:18:19.980
 wily after

00:18:19.980 --> 00:18:20.740
 40 years

00:18:20.740 --> 00:18:22.819
 because he had

00:18:22.819 --> 00:18:23.299
 worked out

00:18:23.299 --> 00:18:23.940
 that the best

00:18:23.940 --> 00:18:24.779
 place to put

00:18:24.779 --> 00:18:26.180
 his distorted

00:18:26.180 --> 00:18:26.920
 dare I say

00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:27.539
 grotesque

00:18:27.539 --> 00:18:28.019
 body

00:18:28.019 --> 00:18:30.420
 on show

00:18:30.420 --> 00:18:31.019
 and that's not

00:18:31.019 --> 00:18:31.559
 a reference to

00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:32.019
 all physical

00:18:32.019 --> 00:18:32.519
 disabilities

00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:33.480
 it's trying to pick up

00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:34.440
 the story here

00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:35.879
 the best place

00:18:35.879 --> 00:18:36.539
 to put that

00:18:36.539 --> 00:18:37.259
 on show

00:18:37.259 --> 00:18:38.220
 he worked out

00:18:38.220 --> 00:18:39.539
 was at

00:18:39.539 --> 00:18:39.980
 this

00:18:39.980 --> 00:18:41.259
 temple gate

00:18:41.259 --> 00:18:44.740
 why?

00:18:44.900 --> 00:18:45.420
 I suspect

00:18:45.420 --> 00:18:46.259
 he was convinced

00:18:46.259 --> 00:18:47.200
 he would exploit

00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:47.879
 any sense

00:18:47.879 --> 00:18:48.740
 of guilt

00:18:48.740 --> 00:18:50.099
 or embarrassment

00:18:50.099 --> 00:18:51.440
 people who

00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:52.200
 passed him

00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:52.619
 daily

00:18:52.619 --> 00:18:53.299
 might have felt

00:18:53.299 --> 00:18:54.079
 and there would have been

00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:54.920
 a constant stream

00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:55.900
 this was the most popular

00:18:55.900 --> 00:18:56.859
 entrance into the temple

00:18:56.859 --> 00:18:57.660
 there would have been

00:18:57.660 --> 00:18:58.859
 hundreds if not thousands

00:18:58.859 --> 00:19:00.279
 gone past him

00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:00.559
 daily

00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:01.919
 and there he was

00:19:01.919 --> 00:19:03.319
 in all his agony

00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:08.679
 and you can imagine it

00:19:08.679 --> 00:19:09.960
 just a pang of guilt

00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:14.399
 and the note you get

00:19:14.399 --> 00:19:14.940
 out of your wallet

00:19:14.940 --> 00:19:15.599
 is a bigger one

00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:19.899
 perhaps he's also

00:19:19.899 --> 00:19:21.099
 exploiting the religious

00:19:21.099 --> 00:19:22.079
 sensibilities

00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:23.319
 of this

00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:24.940
 ongoing stream

00:19:24.940 --> 00:19:26.139
 of able-bodied

00:19:26.139 --> 00:19:27.720
 upright Jews

00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:29.079
 going into the temple

00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:29.799
 to pray

00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:32.220
 now almsgiving

00:19:32.220 --> 00:19:33.440
 or giving to the poor

00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:33.940
 or the needy

00:19:33.940 --> 00:19:35.139
 was a very big part

00:19:35.139 --> 00:19:36.559
 of Jewish religious life

00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:39.259
 and these guys

00:19:39.259 --> 00:19:40.579
 were going to pray

00:19:40.579 --> 00:19:40.919
 so

00:19:40.919 --> 00:19:42.839
 this crippled man

00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:43.599
 may well have been

00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:43.779
 thinking

00:19:43.779 --> 00:19:44.379
 well okay

00:19:44.379 --> 00:19:45.659
 these guys

00:19:45.659 --> 00:19:46.740
 if they give me

00:19:46.740 --> 00:19:47.359
 a donation

00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:48.159
 going into the temple

00:19:48.159 --> 00:19:49.059
 well they're going to

00:19:49.059 --> 00:19:49.539
 actually be able to

00:19:49.539 --> 00:19:50.039
 begin to pray

00:19:50.039 --> 00:19:51.019
 with a little bit more

00:19:51.019 --> 00:19:52.720
 of a sense of confidence

00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:53.500
 before the Lord

00:19:53.500 --> 00:19:55.419
 I've fulfilled

00:19:55.419 --> 00:19:56.659
 your laws

00:19:56.659 --> 00:19:56.980
 Lord

00:19:56.980 --> 00:19:58.259
 I'm a good person

00:19:58.259 --> 00:19:58.620
 Lord

00:19:58.620 --> 00:20:00.220
 give me your blessing

00:20:00.220 --> 00:20:00.620
 Lord

00:20:00.620 --> 00:20:10.039
 this man knew

00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:11.819
 he needed help

00:20:11.819 --> 00:20:12.500
 with life

00:20:12.500 --> 00:20:15.700
 he didn't know

00:20:15.700 --> 00:20:16.799
 he needed Jesus

00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:17.339
 initially

00:20:17.339 --> 00:20:25.299
 he didn't realize

00:20:25.299 --> 00:20:26.259
 his relationship

00:20:26.259 --> 00:20:27.119
 with God

00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:28.339
 was as totally

00:20:28.339 --> 00:20:29.019
 disabled

00:20:29.019 --> 00:20:30.980
 spiritually

00:20:30.980 --> 00:20:32.099
 as what he was

00:20:32.099 --> 00:20:32.779
 physically

00:20:32.779 --> 00:20:36.879
 he seemed

00:20:36.879 --> 00:20:37.699
 oblivious

00:20:37.699 --> 00:20:38.299
 to the fact

00:20:38.299 --> 00:20:39.500
 that the beautiful

00:20:39.500 --> 00:20:40.359
 gate that he was

00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:41.199
 parked beside

00:20:41.199 --> 00:20:42.859
 actually blocked

00:20:42.859 --> 00:20:43.519
 his access

00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:44.199
 to God

00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:46.980
 he just

00:20:46.980 --> 00:20:47.880
 didn't seem

00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:48.720
 to be thinking

00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:49.460
 in that space

00:20:49.460 --> 00:20:50.120
 for him

00:20:50.120 --> 00:20:50.600
 it was just

00:20:50.600 --> 00:20:51.539
 a great place

00:20:51.539 --> 00:20:52.220
 to get money

00:20:52.220 --> 00:20:56.799
 likewise

00:20:56.799 --> 00:20:59.680
 the able-bodied

00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:00.019
 people

00:21:00.019 --> 00:21:01.039
 there's a lot

00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:01.519
 to be learned

00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:02.000
 from them

00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:02.620
 in this story

00:21:02.620 --> 00:21:03.080
 I think

00:21:03.080 --> 00:21:05.400
 the able-bodied

00:21:05.400 --> 00:21:06.279
 people streaming

00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:06.920
 into the temple

00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:07.440
 every day

00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:08.500
 were likewise

00:21:08.500 --> 00:21:09.319
 oblivious

00:21:09.319 --> 00:21:10.360
 to their

00:21:10.360 --> 00:21:11.220
 deep

00:21:11.220 --> 00:21:12.279
 spiritual needs

00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:14.200
 their perceived

00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:14.519
 need

00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:15.019
 as they were

00:21:15.019 --> 00:21:15.720
 trotting into

00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:16.139
 the temple

00:21:16.139 --> 00:21:17.059
 was to get

00:21:17.059 --> 00:21:17.819
 God's blessing

00:21:17.819 --> 00:21:18.319
 as a result

00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:18.879
 of prayer

00:21:18.879 --> 00:21:27.119
 as they passed

00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:27.619
 the beggar

00:21:27.619 --> 00:21:28.079
 no doubt

00:21:28.079 --> 00:21:28.680
 they thanked

00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:29.059
 God

00:21:29.059 --> 00:21:29.460
 that they were

00:21:29.460 --> 00:21:30.240
 not sinful

00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:31.720
 like this

00:21:31.720 --> 00:21:33.160
 wretched person

00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:33.399
 was

00:21:33.399 --> 00:21:33.740
 and that they

00:21:33.740 --> 00:21:34.500
 hadn't experienced

00:21:34.500 --> 00:21:35.259
 God's curse

00:21:35.259 --> 00:21:35.980
 God's judgment

00:21:35.980 --> 00:21:36.759
 like this wretched

00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:37.440
 man had

00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:40.399
 that they could

00:21:40.399 --> 00:21:41.279
 freely enter

00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:41.759
 the temple

00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:45.139
 now their

00:21:45.139 --> 00:21:46.099
 expressed need

00:21:46.099 --> 00:21:47.399
 was simply

00:21:47.399 --> 00:21:48.000
 to get

00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:48.899
 God's blessing

00:21:48.899 --> 00:21:50.220
 by doing

00:21:50.220 --> 00:21:50.960
 what good

00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:51.460
 Jews

00:21:51.460 --> 00:21:52.200
 do

00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:53.859
 going to the

00:21:53.859 --> 00:21:54.119
 temple

00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:55.220
 sacrificing

00:21:55.220 --> 00:21:56.160
 praying

00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:57.559
 giving to the

00:21:57.559 --> 00:21:57.819
 poor

00:21:57.819 --> 00:22:01.079
 they also

00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:02.539
 failed to

00:22:02.539 --> 00:22:03.139
 understand

00:22:03.139 --> 00:22:03.779
 the seriousness

00:22:03.779 --> 00:22:04.500
 of their sin

00:22:04.500 --> 00:22:06.460
 yes it's

00:22:06.460 --> 00:22:06.819
 true

00:22:06.819 --> 00:22:08.119
 that these

00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:09.279
 male

00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:10.399
 Jew

00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:11.280
 able-bodied

00:22:11.280 --> 00:22:11.620
 Jews

00:22:11.620 --> 00:22:12.320
 could get

00:22:12.320 --> 00:22:12.840
 one

00:22:12.840 --> 00:22:13.420
 courtyard

00:22:13.420 --> 00:22:14.180
 further

00:22:14.180 --> 00:22:15.100
 into the

00:22:15.100 --> 00:22:15.360
 temple

00:22:15.360 --> 00:22:15.700
 so if you

00:22:15.700 --> 00:22:16.019
 think about

00:22:16.019 --> 00:22:16.240
 it as

00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:16.560
 moving

00:22:16.560 --> 00:22:16.940
 towards

00:22:16.940 --> 00:22:17.220
 God

00:22:17.220 --> 00:22:17.840
 they could

00:22:17.840 --> 00:22:18.340
 get one

00:22:18.340 --> 00:22:18.820
 courtyard

00:22:18.820 --> 00:22:19.580
 closer to

00:22:19.580 --> 00:22:19.920
 God

00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:20.380
 than this

00:22:20.380 --> 00:22:21.400
 disabled

00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:22.019
 guy could

00:22:22.019 --> 00:22:23.120
 but hey

00:22:23.120 --> 00:22:23.380
 they were

00:22:23.380 --> 00:22:23.660
 still

00:22:23.660 --> 00:22:24.400
 when they

00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:24.700
 got to the

00:22:24.700 --> 00:22:24.960
 other side

00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:25.180
 of that

00:22:25.180 --> 00:22:25.440
 courtyard

00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:26.200
 they were

00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:26.800
 blocked out

00:22:26.800 --> 00:22:27.420
 because they

00:22:27.420 --> 00:22:27.880
 couldn't go

00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:28.340
 into God's

00:22:28.340 --> 00:22:28.580
 presence

00:22:28.580 --> 00:22:29.100
 because of

00:22:29.100 --> 00:22:29.540
 their sin

00:22:29.539 --> 00:22:32.119
 so yeah

00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:32.680
 well what

00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:33.240
 difference does

00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:33.819
 one courtyard

00:22:33.819 --> 00:22:34.379
 make at the

00:22:34.379 --> 00:22:34.659
 end of the

00:22:34.659 --> 00:22:34.940
 day

00:22:34.940 --> 00:22:35.980
 you drown

00:22:35.980 --> 00:22:36.539
 ten meters

00:22:36.539 --> 00:22:36.839
 off the

00:22:36.839 --> 00:22:37.059
 shore

00:22:37.059 --> 00:22:37.480
 you drown

00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:37.879
 a mile

00:22:37.879 --> 00:22:38.220
 off the

00:22:38.220 --> 00:22:38.480
 shore

00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:39.920
 or two

00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:40.299
 kilometers

00:22:40.299 --> 00:22:40.639
 whatever

00:22:40.639 --> 00:22:45.000
 and likewise

00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:46.859
 Jewish women

00:22:46.859 --> 00:22:47.420
 they wouldn't

00:22:47.420 --> 00:22:47.779
 even have been

00:22:47.779 --> 00:22:48.200
 able to go

00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:48.659
 as far

00:22:48.659 --> 00:22:49.079
 into the

00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:49.299
 temple

00:22:49.299 --> 00:22:49.980
 sorry they

00:22:49.980 --> 00:22:50.139
 wouldn't

00:22:50.139 --> 00:22:50.299
 have been

00:22:50.299 --> 00:22:50.579
 able to

00:22:50.579 --> 00:22:51.099
 go any

00:22:51.099 --> 00:22:51.480
 further

00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:51.940
 into the

00:22:51.940 --> 00:22:52.159
 temple

00:22:52.159 --> 00:22:52.539
 than this

00:22:52.539 --> 00:22:53.399
 disabled

00:22:53.399 --> 00:22:53.980
 man was

00:22:53.980 --> 00:22:54.879
 and likewise

00:22:54.879 --> 00:22:55.659
 the Gentiles

00:22:55.660 --> 00:22:56.300
 because this

00:22:56.300 --> 00:22:57.000
 beautiful gate

00:22:57.000 --> 00:22:57.680
 separated the

00:22:57.680 --> 00:22:58.019
 court of

00:22:58.019 --> 00:22:58.740
 the Gentiles

00:22:58.740 --> 00:22:59.480
 from the

00:22:59.480 --> 00:22:59.980
 court of

00:22:59.980 --> 00:23:00.360
 Israel

00:23:00.360 --> 00:23:01.540
 the court

00:23:01.540 --> 00:23:01.779
 of the

00:23:01.779 --> 00:23:02.100
 Jews

00:23:02.100 --> 00:23:04.140
 so it's

00:23:04.140 --> 00:23:05.200
 all there

00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:07.019
 all these

00:23:07.019 --> 00:23:07.440
 people

00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:09.320
 all their

00:23:09.320 --> 00:23:10.080
 perceived

00:23:10.080 --> 00:23:12.040
 desires

00:23:12.040 --> 00:23:14.340
 oblivious

00:23:14.340 --> 00:23:14.620
 to their

00:23:14.620 --> 00:23:15.180
 deep needs

00:23:15.180 --> 00:23:17.360
 the deep

00:23:17.360 --> 00:23:17.940
 need of

00:23:17.940 --> 00:23:18.700
 renewed

00:23:18.700 --> 00:23:19.519
 access to

00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:19.680
 God

00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:19.920
 they were

00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:20.500
 all in

00:23:20.500 --> 00:23:21.000
 the end

00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:21.680
 in the

00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:21.900
 same

00:23:21.900 --> 00:23:22.279
 basket

00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:22.540
 they were

00:23:22.540 --> 00:23:22.800
 all

00:23:22.800 --> 00:23:23.840
 spiritually

00:23:23.840 --> 00:23:24.400
 disabled

00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:25.580
 not much

00:23:25.579 --> 00:23:26.019
 difference

00:23:26.019 --> 00:23:26.399
 really

00:23:26.399 --> 00:23:26.740
 between

00:23:26.740 --> 00:23:27.099
 them

00:23:27.099 --> 00:23:27.519
 and

00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:27.720
 this

00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:28.919
 desperate

00:23:28.919 --> 00:23:29.460
 character

00:23:29.460 --> 00:23:29.859
 they saw

00:23:29.859 --> 00:23:30.399
 before them

00:23:30.399 --> 00:23:31.039
 every single

00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:31.480
 day

00:23:31.480 --> 00:23:38.279
 it's just

00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:38.519
 that the

00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:38.960
 beggar was

00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:39.240
 perhaps

00:23:39.240 --> 00:23:39.559
 more

00:23:39.559 --> 00:23:39.980
 more

00:23:39.980 --> 00:23:40.579
 aware

00:23:40.579 --> 00:23:40.939
 of his

00:23:40.939 --> 00:23:41.419
 condition

00:23:41.419 --> 00:23:42.559
 up to

00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:43.079
 a point

00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:44.720
 anyway

00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:45.279
 moving on

00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:45.960
 Peter addresses

00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:46.599
 the spiritual

00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:47.139
 needs of

00:23:47.139 --> 00:23:47.419
 both

00:23:47.419 --> 00:23:47.899
 the

00:23:47.899 --> 00:23:48.259
 disabled

00:23:48.259 --> 00:23:48.819
 man

00:23:48.819 --> 00:23:49.759
 and

00:23:49.759 --> 00:23:49.960
 the

00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:50.599
 apparently

00:23:50.599 --> 00:23:51.079
 healthy

00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:51.480
 crowd

00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:53.539
 offering

00:23:53.539 --> 00:23:53.759
 them

00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:54.299
 a fresh

00:23:54.299 --> 00:23:54.759
 start

00:23:54.759 --> 00:23:56.440
 through

00:23:56.440 --> 00:23:56.980
 God's

00:23:56.980 --> 00:23:57.379
 new

00:23:57.379 --> 00:23:57.740
 temple

00:23:57.740 --> 00:23:59.619
 not

00:23:59.619 --> 00:23:59.940
 more

00:23:59.940 --> 00:24:00.299
 religious

00:24:00.299 --> 00:24:00.680
 effort

00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:01.180
 and again

00:24:01.180 --> 00:24:01.559
 hopefully

00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:01.879
 this will

00:24:01.879 --> 00:24:02.339
 come clear

00:24:02.339 --> 00:24:02.859
 as I move

00:24:02.859 --> 00:24:03.200
 through the

00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:03.460
 point

00:24:03.460 --> 00:24:05.740
 so

00:24:05.740 --> 00:24:06.599
 the

00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:07.000
 testimony

00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:07.460
 of this

00:24:07.460 --> 00:24:07.779
 man

00:24:07.779 --> 00:24:08.279
 is really

00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:08.700
 compelling

00:24:08.700 --> 00:24:09.119
 no

00:24:09.119 --> 00:24:09.500
 question

00:24:09.500 --> 00:24:09.759
 about

00:24:09.759 --> 00:24:10.019
 that

00:24:10.019 --> 00:24:12.180
 but

00:24:12.180 --> 00:24:12.640
 testimony

00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:13.319
 of itself

00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:14.759
 is never

00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:15.059
 going to be

00:24:15.059 --> 00:24:15.319
 enough

00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:15.640
 we need

00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:16.039
 to speak

00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:16.240
 about

00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:16.579
 Jesus

00:24:16.579 --> 00:24:16.980
 and that's

00:24:16.980 --> 00:24:17.619
 exactly

00:24:17.619 --> 00:24:19.140
 what

00:24:19.140 --> 00:24:19.980
 Peter

00:24:19.980 --> 00:24:20.240
 does

00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:20.720
 testimony

00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:21.579
 tells us

00:24:21.579 --> 00:24:21.799
 what

00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:22.460
 Jesus

00:24:22.460 --> 00:24:22.980
 has done

00:24:22.980 --> 00:24:23.240
 in a

00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:23.640
 person's

00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:23.880
 life

00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:24.140
 in our

00:24:24.140 --> 00:24:24.299
 own

00:24:24.299 --> 00:24:24.839
 experience

00:24:24.839 --> 00:24:25.500
 but we

00:24:25.500 --> 00:24:25.779
 need to

00:24:25.779 --> 00:24:25.980
 hear

00:24:25.980 --> 00:24:26.660
 objectively

00:24:26.660 --> 00:24:27.660
 about who

00:24:27.660 --> 00:24:27.980
 Jesus

00:24:27.980 --> 00:24:28.339
 is

00:24:28.339 --> 00:24:28.700
 and what

00:24:28.700 --> 00:24:28.880
 he's

00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:29.200
 done

00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:30.539
 for all

00:24:30.539 --> 00:24:30.880
 mankind

00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:34.740
 so Peter

00:24:34.740 --> 00:24:35.120
 addresses

00:24:35.120 --> 00:24:35.400
 the

00:24:35.400 --> 00:24:36.200
 spiritual

00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:36.759
 needs

00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:38.519
 of both

00:24:38.519 --> 00:24:38.660
 the

00:24:38.660 --> 00:24:39.000
 disabled

00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:39.319
 man

00:24:39.319 --> 00:24:39.620
 and the

00:24:39.620 --> 00:24:40.160
 apparently

00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:40.620
 healthy

00:24:40.620 --> 00:24:41.000
 crowd

00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:43.240
 and Peter

00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:43.759
 speaks

00:24:43.759 --> 00:24:47.420
 interestingly

00:24:47.420 --> 00:24:48.240
 not at

00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:48.680
 all

00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:49.180
 about

00:24:49.180 --> 00:24:49.920
 the

00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:50.279
 healing

00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:50.720
 or the

00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:50.980
 man

00:24:50.980 --> 00:24:51.180
 who's

00:24:51.180 --> 00:24:51.339
 just

00:24:51.339 --> 00:24:51.500
 been

00:24:51.500 --> 00:24:51.799
 healed

00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:54.160
 nor

00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:54.440
 about

00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:54.879
 himself

00:24:54.879 --> 00:24:55.460
 or his

00:24:55.460 --> 00:24:56.019
 part

00:24:56.019 --> 00:24:56.400
 in the

00:24:56.400 --> 00:24:56.740
 miracle

00:24:56.740 --> 00:24:59.299
 he speaks

00:24:59.299 --> 00:25:00.920
 only

00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:01.299
 about

00:25:01.299 --> 00:25:01.759
 Jesus

00:25:01.759 --> 00:25:07.200
 he speaks

00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:07.819
 about

00:25:07.819 --> 00:25:08.319
 the

00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:08.839
 authority

00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:09.059
 of

00:25:09.059 --> 00:25:09.440
 Jesus

00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:10.500
 he speaks

00:25:10.500 --> 00:25:10.700
 about

00:25:10.700 --> 00:25:10.859
 the

00:25:10.859 --> 00:25:11.119
 death

00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:11.279
 and

00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:11.720
 resurrection

00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:12.000
 of

00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:12.279
 Jesus

00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:13.019
 he speaks

00:25:13.019 --> 00:25:13.220
 about

00:25:13.220 --> 00:25:13.379
 the

00:25:13.379 --> 00:25:13.879
 implication

00:25:13.879 --> 00:25:14.299
 of

00:25:14.299 --> 00:25:14.539
 these

00:25:14.539 --> 00:25:14.839
 things

00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:15.039
 for

00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:15.639
 salvation

00:25:15.639 --> 00:25:16.200
 and

00:25:16.200 --> 00:25:16.379
 for

00:25:16.379 --> 00:25:16.859
 receiving

00:25:16.859 --> 00:25:17.279
 God's

00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:17.720
 blessing

00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:20.319
 my

00:25:20.319 --> 00:25:20.500
 friends

00:25:20.500 --> 00:25:20.839
 Peter

00:25:20.839 --> 00:25:21.220
 goes

00:25:21.220 --> 00:25:21.359
 to

00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:21.519
 the

00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:21.980
 source

00:25:21.980 --> 00:25:22.119
 of

00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:22.240
 the

00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:22.539
 healing

00:25:22.539 --> 00:25:24.980
 with

00:25:24.980 --> 00:25:25.420
 very

00:25:25.420 --> 00:25:26.180
 confronting

00:25:26.180 --> 00:25:26.839
 words

00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:27.259
 might

00:25:27.259 --> 00:25:27.660
 add

00:25:27.660 --> 00:25:28.319
 to

00:25:28.319 --> 00:25:28.839
 these

00:25:28.839 --> 00:25:29.500
 religious

00:25:29.500 --> 00:25:29.960
 Jews

00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:30.599
 and

00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:30.740
 what

00:25:30.740 --> 00:25:30.839
 he

00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:31.039
 says

00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:31.420
 essentially

00:25:31.420 --> 00:25:31.619
 is

00:25:31.619 --> 00:25:31.859
 this

00:25:31.859 --> 00:25:32.519
 picking

00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:32.740
 up

00:25:32.740 --> 00:25:32.980
 in

00:25:32.980 --> 00:25:33.319
 verses

00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:33.700
 13

00:25:33.700 --> 00:25:33.859
 to

00:25:33.859 --> 00:25:34.119
 15

00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:34.319
 now

00:25:34.319 --> 00:25:34.559
 listen

00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:34.940
 here

00:25:34.940 --> 00:25:35.440
 you

00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:35.839
 guys

00:25:35.839 --> 00:25:36.799
 you

00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:37.000
 need

00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:37.160
 to

00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:37.759
 understand

00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:38.879
 that

00:25:38.879 --> 00:25:39.240
 in

00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:39.920
 every

00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:40.299
 way

00:25:40.299 --> 00:25:41.059
 imaginable

00:25:41.059 --> 00:25:41.660
 you

00:25:41.660 --> 00:25:42.200
 guys

00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:43.080
 totally

00:25:43.080 --> 00:25:43.840
 dishonored

00:25:43.840 --> 00:25:44.559
 Jesus

00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:49.019
 you

00:25:49.019 --> 00:25:49.620
 failed to

00:25:49.620 --> 00:25:50.180
 listen to

00:25:50.180 --> 00:25:50.360
 him

00:25:50.360 --> 00:25:50.680
 verses

00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:51.160
 22

00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:51.420
 through

00:25:51.420 --> 00:25:51.900
 25

00:25:51.900 --> 00:25:52.160
 you

00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:52.600
 failed to

00:25:52.600 --> 00:25:52.860
 listen

00:25:52.860 --> 00:25:53.039
 to

00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:53.180
 him

00:25:53.180 --> 00:25:53.720
 when

00:25:53.720 --> 00:25:53.860
 he

00:25:53.860 --> 00:25:54.100
 came

00:25:54.100 --> 00:25:54.279
 to

00:25:54.279 --> 00:25:54.519
 you

00:25:54.519 --> 00:25:55.600
 obviously

00:25:55.600 --> 00:25:56.019
 at the

00:25:56.019 --> 00:25:56.319
 very

00:25:56.319 --> 00:25:56.960
 least

00:25:56.960 --> 00:25:57.420
 he

00:25:57.420 --> 00:25:57.680
 came

00:25:57.680 --> 00:25:57.840
 to

00:25:57.840 --> 00:25:58.000
 you

00:25:58.000 --> 00:25:58.140
 as

00:25:58.140 --> 00:25:58.279
 a

00:25:58.279 --> 00:25:58.580
 prophet

00:25:58.580 --> 00:26:01.720
 but

00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:01.880
 there was

00:26:01.880 --> 00:26:02.080
 actually

00:26:02.080 --> 00:26:02.539
 more than

00:26:02.539 --> 00:26:02.740
 that

00:26:02.740 --> 00:26:03.360
 you

00:26:03.360 --> 00:26:04.140
 dishonored

00:26:04.140 --> 00:26:04.259
 him

00:26:04.259 --> 00:26:04.500
 in

00:26:04.500 --> 00:26:04.720
 spite

00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:04.860
 of

00:26:04.860 --> 00:26:05.360
 all

00:26:05.360 --> 00:26:05.559
 the

00:26:05.559 --> 00:26:06.140
 evidence

00:26:06.140 --> 00:26:06.700
 verses

00:26:06.700 --> 00:26:07.080
 13

00:26:07.080 --> 00:26:07.220
 to

00:26:07.220 --> 00:26:07.460
 15

00:26:07.460 --> 00:26:07.840
 all

00:26:07.840 --> 00:26:08.019
 the

00:26:08.019 --> 00:26:08.360
 evidence

00:26:08.360 --> 00:26:09.059
 pointing

00:26:09.059 --> 00:26:09.240
 to

00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:09.359
 the

00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:09.639
 fact

00:26:09.639 --> 00:26:10.659
 that

00:26:10.659 --> 00:26:10.919
 he

00:26:10.919 --> 00:26:11.179
 was

00:26:11.179 --> 00:26:11.579
 God

00:26:11.579 --> 00:26:11.740
 he

00:26:11.740 --> 00:26:11.899
 was

00:26:11.899 --> 00:26:12.319
 doing

00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:12.659
 things

00:26:12.659 --> 00:26:12.779
 that

00:26:12.779 --> 00:26:13.019
 only

00:26:13.019 --> 00:26:13.319
 God

00:26:13.319 --> 00:26:13.519
 would

00:26:13.519 --> 00:26:13.879
 do

00:26:13.879 --> 00:26:14.599
 could

00:26:14.599 --> 00:26:14.960
 do

00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:18.500
 and

00:26:18.500 --> 00:26:18.700
 he's

00:26:18.700 --> 00:26:19.099
 properly

00:26:19.099 --> 00:26:19.539
 called

00:26:19.539 --> 00:26:20.079
 and in

00:26:20.079 --> 00:26:20.299
 those

00:26:20.299 --> 00:26:20.659
 verses

00:26:20.659 --> 00:26:21.779
 Luke

00:26:21.779 --> 00:26:22.319
 lays

00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:22.440
 it

00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:22.720
 on

00:26:23.139 --> 00:26:23.399
 lays

00:26:23.399 --> 00:26:23.500
 it

00:26:23.500 --> 00:26:23.639
 on

00:26:23.639 --> 00:26:23.720
 to

00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:23.839
 the

00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:24.099
 crowd

00:26:24.099 --> 00:26:25.679
 he's

00:26:25.679 --> 00:26:26.079
 properly

00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:26.419
 called

00:26:26.419 --> 00:26:26.599
 the

00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:26.940
 holy

00:26:26.940 --> 00:26:27.200
 and

00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:27.500
 righteous

00:26:27.500 --> 00:26:27.740
 one

00:26:27.740 --> 00:26:27.899
 that

00:26:27.899 --> 00:26:28.019
 was

00:26:28.019 --> 00:26:28.139
 the

00:26:28.139 --> 00:26:28.299
 name

00:26:28.299 --> 00:26:28.460
 of

00:26:28.460 --> 00:26:28.799
 God

00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:29.839
 he's

00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:30.099
 properly

00:26:30.099 --> 00:26:30.399
 called

00:26:30.399 --> 00:26:30.799
 the

00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:31.119
 author

00:26:31.119 --> 00:26:31.359
 of

00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:31.779
 life

00:26:31.779 --> 00:26:34.399
 and

00:26:34.399 --> 00:26:34.519
 you

00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:34.819
 guys

00:26:34.819 --> 00:26:35.319
 killed

00:26:35.319 --> 00:26:35.460
 him

00:26:35.460 --> 00:26:35.639
 not

00:26:35.639 --> 00:26:36.220
 just

00:26:36.220 --> 00:26:36.859
 accidentally

00:26:36.859 --> 00:26:37.139
 killed

00:26:37.139 --> 00:26:37.240
 him

00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:37.720
 but

00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:37.919
 you

00:26:37.919 --> 00:26:38.579
 pursued

00:26:38.579 --> 00:26:38.960
 him

00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:39.619
 and

00:26:39.619 --> 00:26:40.399
 deliberately

00:26:40.399 --> 00:26:42.279
 bypassed

00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:42.599
 the law

00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:43.000
 in order

00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:43.299
 to have

00:26:43.299 --> 00:26:43.480
 him

00:26:43.480 --> 00:26:43.859
 murdered

00:26:43.859 --> 00:26:49.159
 strong

00:26:49.159 --> 00:26:49.480
 words

00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:49.879
 indeed

00:26:49.879 --> 00:26:54.460
 and

00:26:54.460 --> 00:26:54.720
 another

00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:55.339
 contrast

00:26:55.339 --> 00:26:55.899
 emerges

00:26:55.899 --> 00:26:58.199
 in stark

00:26:58.199 --> 00:26:59.000
 contrast

00:26:59.000 --> 00:26:59.960
 to the

00:26:59.960 --> 00:27:00.439
 way you

00:27:00.439 --> 00:27:01.000
 guys

00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:01.439
 have

00:27:01.439 --> 00:27:02.019
 dishonored

00:27:02.019 --> 00:27:02.379
 Jesus

00:27:02.379 --> 00:27:04.740
 we see

00:27:04.740 --> 00:27:05.439
 how God

00:27:05.439 --> 00:27:05.939
 the Father

00:27:05.939 --> 00:27:06.399
 honored

00:27:06.399 --> 00:27:06.659
 him

00:27:06.659 --> 00:27:07.859
 verse 13

00:27:07.859 --> 00:27:08.399
 and 15

00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:10.019
 God

00:27:10.019 --> 00:27:11.160
 glorified

00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:12.200
 Jesus

00:27:12.200 --> 00:27:12.820
 through

00:27:12.820 --> 00:27:13.060
 his

00:27:13.060 --> 00:27:13.560
 life

00:27:13.560 --> 00:27:14.860
 death

00:27:14.860 --> 00:27:15.259
 and

00:27:15.259 --> 00:27:15.880
 resurrection

00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:17.460
 and

00:27:17.460 --> 00:27:17.780
 indeed

00:27:17.780 --> 00:27:17.940
 his

00:27:17.940 --> 00:27:18.320
 return

00:27:18.320 --> 00:27:18.500
 to

00:27:18.500 --> 00:27:18.680
 the

00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:18.920
 throne

00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:19.100
 in

00:27:19.100 --> 00:27:19.360
 heaven

00:27:19.360 --> 00:27:21.920
 so

00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:22.160
 Peter

00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:22.300
 is

00:27:22.300 --> 00:27:22.500
 saying

00:27:22.500 --> 00:27:22.880
 this

00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:24.180
 you

00:27:24.180 --> 00:27:24.620
 guys

00:27:24.620 --> 00:27:25.259
 dishonored

00:27:25.259 --> 00:27:25.580
 Jesus

00:27:25.580 --> 00:27:25.880
 in

00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:26.400
 every

00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:26.580
 way

00:27:26.580 --> 00:27:27.180
 imaginable

00:27:27.180 --> 00:27:28.940
 God

00:27:28.940 --> 00:27:29.940
 honored

00:27:29.940 --> 00:27:30.420
 Jesus

00:27:30.420 --> 00:27:30.740
 in

00:27:30.740 --> 00:27:31.060
 every

00:27:31.060 --> 00:27:31.240
 way

00:27:31.240 --> 00:27:31.860
 imaginable

00:27:31.859 --> 00:27:34.539
 and

00:27:34.539 --> 00:27:34.859
 here's

00:27:34.859 --> 00:27:34.979
 the

00:27:34.979 --> 00:27:35.419
 specific

00:27:35.419 --> 00:27:35.740
 Peter

00:27:35.740 --> 00:27:36.099
 lays

00:27:36.099 --> 00:27:36.339
 on the

00:27:36.339 --> 00:27:36.599
 crowd

00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:37.139
 in

00:27:37.139 --> 00:27:37.679
 raising

00:27:37.679 --> 00:27:38.299
 Jesus

00:27:38.299 --> 00:27:38.619
 from

00:27:38.619 --> 00:27:38.799
 the

00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:39.219
 dead

00:27:39.219 --> 00:27:41.119
 God

00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:41.979
 confirmed

00:27:41.979 --> 00:27:42.539
 Jesus

00:27:42.539 --> 00:27:43.079
 as

00:27:43.079 --> 00:27:43.699
 uniquely

00:27:43.699 --> 00:27:44.899
 and

00:27:44.899 --> 00:27:45.819
 exclusively

00:27:45.819 --> 00:27:47.399
 the

00:27:47.399 --> 00:27:47.779
 Lord

00:27:47.779 --> 00:27:48.059
 and

00:27:48.059 --> 00:27:48.439
 Savior

00:27:48.439 --> 00:27:48.740
 of

00:27:48.740 --> 00:27:48.919
 all

00:27:48.919 --> 00:27:49.240
 people

00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:55.899
 the

00:27:55.899 --> 00:27:56.359
 healing

00:27:56.359 --> 00:27:56.619
 of

00:27:56.619 --> 00:27:56.819
 this

00:27:56.819 --> 00:27:57.299
 man

00:27:57.299 --> 00:27:58.980
 is

00:27:58.980 --> 00:27:59.720
 in a

00:27:59.720 --> 00:27:59.960
 sense

00:27:59.960 --> 00:28:00.279
 if I can

00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:00.639
 say that

00:28:00.639 --> 00:28:01.220
 simply

00:28:01.220 --> 00:28:01.819
 proof

00:28:01.819 --> 00:28:04.279
 that

00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:05.279
 Jesus

00:28:05.279 --> 00:28:05.679
 is

00:28:05.679 --> 00:28:06.139
 Lord

00:28:06.139 --> 00:28:06.480
 and

 Savior

00:28:06.859 --> 00:28:08.339
 verse

00:28:08.339 --> 00:28:08.799
 16

00:28:08.799 --> 00:28:09.679
 and

00:28:09.679 --> 00:28:09.839
 it's

00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:10.059
 called

00:28:10.059 --> 00:28:10.879
 the man

00:28:10.879 --> 00:28:11.460
 perfect

00:28:11.460 --> 00:28:11.819
 health

00:28:11.819 --> 00:28:12.539
 in other

00:28:12.539 --> 00:28:12.679
 words

00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:13.440
 it's

00:28:13.440 --> 00:28:13.600
 it's

00:28:13.600 --> 00:28:13.759
 more

00:28:13.759 --> 00:28:13.880
 than

00:28:13.880 --> 00:28:14.060
 just

00:28:14.060 --> 00:28:14.400
 physical

00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:14.620
 health

00:28:14.620 --> 00:28:15.060
 it's

00:28:15.060 --> 00:28:15.200
 the

00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:15.519
 whole

00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:16.019
 being

00:28:16.019 --> 00:28:16.500
 health

00:28:16.500 --> 00:28:22.259
 so

00:28:22.259 --> 00:28:22.519
 again

00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:22.779
 let's

00:28:22.779 --> 00:28:23.100
 let's

00:28:23.100 --> 00:28:23.460
 revise

00:28:23.460 --> 00:28:23.680
 what

00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:23.960
 happened

00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:24.060
 to

00:28:24.060 --> 00:28:24.200
 this

00:28:24.200 --> 00:28:24.500
 man

00:28:24.500 --> 00:28:27.140
 he

00:28:27.140 --> 00:28:27.560
 heard

00:28:27.560 --> 00:28:27.779
 the

00:28:27.779 --> 00:28:28.240
 promise

00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:28.660
 in

00:28:28.660 --> 00:28:28.840
 his

00:28:28.840 --> 00:28:29.539
 desperation

00:28:29.539 --> 00:28:30.299
 he

00:28:30.299 --> 00:28:30.820
 heard

00:28:30.820 --> 00:28:31.060
 the

00:28:31.060 --> 00:28:31.560
 promise

00:28:31.560 --> 00:28:33.320
 that

00:28:33.320 --> 00:28:33.840
 Jesus

00:28:33.840 --> 00:28:34.400
 offered

00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:34.580
 him

00:28:34.580 --> 00:28:35.060
 something

00:28:35.060 --> 00:28:35.759
 far

00:28:35.759 --> 00:28:36.120
 better

00:28:36.120 --> 00:28:36.340
 than

00:28:36.340 --> 00:28:36.640
 money

00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:37.860
 it's

00:28:37.860 --> 00:28:38.580
 unlikely

00:28:38.580 --> 00:28:39.360
 that

00:28:39.360 --> 00:28:39.799
 Peter

00:28:39.799 --> 00:28:39.960
 and

00:28:39.960 --> 00:28:40.140
 John

00:28:40.140 --> 00:28:40.299
 had

00:28:40.299 --> 00:28:40.539
 actually

00:28:40.539 --> 00:28:40.960
 no

00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:41.279
 money

00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:41.420
 at

00:28:41.420 --> 00:28:41.600
 all

00:28:41.600 --> 00:28:41.700
 in

00:28:41.700 --> 00:28:41.840
 their

00:28:41.840 --> 00:28:42.200
 pockets

00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:43.279
 in

00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:43.500
 fact

00:28:43.500 --> 00:28:43.759
 chapter

00:28:43.759 --> 00:28:43.980
 2

00:28:43.980 --> 00:28:44.200
 says

00:28:44.200 --> 00:28:44.299
 they

00:28:44.299 --> 00:28:44.420
 had

00:28:44.420 --> 00:28:44.660
 access

00:28:44.660 --> 00:28:44.840
 to

00:28:44.840 --> 00:28:44.960
 a

00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:45.100
 lot

00:28:45.100 --> 00:28:45.180
 of

00:28:45.180 --> 00:28:45.460
 money

00:28:45.460 --> 00:28:47.559
 that's

00:28:47.559 --> 00:28:47.680
 not

00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:47.819
 what

00:28:47.819 --> 00:28:47.980
 Peter

00:28:47.980 --> 00:28:48.080
 is

00:28:48.080 --> 00:28:48.240
 talking

00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:48.420
 about

00:28:48.580 --> 00:28:48.700
 he

00:28:48.700 --> 00:28:48.860
 says

00:28:48.860 --> 00:28:49.000
 I'm

00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:49.180
 not

00:28:49.180 --> 00:28:49.640
 dealing

00:28:49.640 --> 00:28:49.799
 in

00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:49.940
 the

00:28:49.940 --> 00:28:50.319
 currency

00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:50.519
 of

00:28:50.519 --> 00:28:50.700
 this

00:28:50.700 --> 00:28:51.000
 world

00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:51.200
 my

00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:51.440
 friend

00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:51.840
 I

00:28:51.840 --> 00:28:52.000
 want

00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:52.140
 to

00:28:52.140 --> 00:28:52.340
 talk

00:28:52.340 --> 00:28:52.440
 to

00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:52.480
 you

00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:52.600
 about

00:28:52.600 --> 00:28:52.740
 the

00:28:52.740 --> 00:28:53.140
 currency

00:28:53.140 --> 00:28:53.340
 of

00:28:53.340 --> 00:28:53.680
 heaven

00:28:53.680 --> 00:28:58.519
 offering

00:28:58.519 --> 00:28:58.720
 him

00:28:58.720 --> 00:28:59.120
 something

00:28:59.120 --> 00:28:59.700
 far

00:28:59.700 --> 00:28:59.980
 better

00:28:59.980 --> 00:29:00.180
 than

00:29:00.180 --> 00:29:00.400
 money

00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:01.500
 restoration

00:29:01.500 --> 00:29:02.279
 to

00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:02.700
 perfect

00:29:02.700 --> 00:29:03.059
 health

00:29:03.059 --> 00:29:04.200
 being

00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:04.720
 renewed

00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:04.960
 from

00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:05.160
 the

00:29:05.160 --> 00:29:05.580
 inside

00:29:05.580 --> 00:29:06.019
 out

00:29:06.019 --> 00:29:06.880
 physically

00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:07.220
 and

00:29:07.220 --> 00:29:07.680
 spiritually

00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:09.920
 and in

00:29:09.920 --> 00:29:10.340
 response

00:29:10.340 --> 00:29:10.960
 this man

00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:12.259
 believed that

00:29:12.259 --> 00:29:12.579
 Jesus

00:29:12.579 --> 00:29:13.380
 could do

00:29:13.380 --> 00:29:13.600
 it

00:29:13.600 --> 00:29:15.640
 and that

00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:16.319
 Jesus was

00:29:16.319 --> 00:29:16.920
 willing to

00:29:16.920 --> 00:29:17.180
 do it

00:29:17.180 --> 00:29:17.559
 and would

00:29:17.559 --> 00:29:17.900
 do it

00:29:17.900 --> 00:29:18.319
 for him

00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:18.940
 personally

00:29:18.940 --> 00:29:19.940
 in all

00:29:19.940 --> 00:29:20.600
 his misery

00:29:20.600 --> 00:29:23.160
 and that

00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:23.640
 of itself

00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:24.180
 is the first

00:29:24.180 --> 00:29:24.640
 evidence

00:29:24.640 --> 00:29:25.660
 of Jesus

00:29:25.660 --> 00:29:26.100
 working

00:29:26.100 --> 00:29:26.860
 powerfully

00:29:26.860 --> 00:29:27.420
 in the man's

00:29:27.420 --> 00:29:27.640
 heart

00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:28.039
 so he

00:29:28.039 --> 00:29:28.299
 actually

00:29:28.299 --> 00:29:28.980
 grasps

00:29:28.980 --> 00:29:29.680
 the power

00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:30.539
 that was

00:29:30.539 --> 00:29:30.940
 in a sense

00:29:30.940 --> 00:29:31.539
 offered to

00:29:31.539 --> 00:29:31.740
 him in

00:29:31.740 --> 00:29:32.299
 these words

00:29:32.299 --> 00:29:35.299
 and this

00:29:35.299 --> 00:29:35.700
 act of

00:29:35.700 --> 00:29:36.000
 faith

00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:36.259
 as it's

00:29:36.259 --> 00:29:36.460
 called

00:29:36.460 --> 00:29:36.779
 in verse

00:29:36.779 --> 00:29:37.139
 16

00:29:37.139 --> 00:29:37.879
 itself

00:29:37.879 --> 00:29:38.279
 a gift

00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:38.500
 from

00:29:38.500 --> 00:29:38.859
 God

00:29:38.859 --> 00:29:39.859
 resulted

00:29:39.859 --> 00:29:40.180
 in the

00:29:40.180 --> 00:29:40.579
 man being

00:29:40.579 --> 00:29:41.220
 completely

00:29:41.220 --> 00:29:41.639
 healed

00:29:41.639 --> 00:29:42.720
 and a

00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:42.919
 new

00:29:42.919 --> 00:29:43.399
 desire

00:29:43.399 --> 00:29:43.639
 the

00:29:43.639 --> 00:29:44.039
 inside

00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:44.539
 healing

00:29:44.539 --> 00:29:46.039
 a new

00:29:46.039 --> 00:29:46.379
 desire

00:29:46.379 --> 00:29:46.759
 to be

00:29:46.759 --> 00:29:47.000
 near

00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:47.379
 God

00:29:47.379 --> 00:29:48.159
 to praise

00:29:48.159 --> 00:29:48.399
 him

00:29:48.399 --> 00:29:53.859
 that's a

00:29:53.859 --> 00:29:54.220
 marvelous

00:29:54.220 --> 00:29:54.579
 story

00:29:54.579 --> 00:29:54.940
 isn't it

00:29:54.940 --> 00:29:55.339
 that's a

00:29:55.339 --> 00:29:55.680
 marvelous

00:29:55.680 --> 00:29:56.000
 story

00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:56.359
 for this

00:29:56.359 --> 00:29:56.680
 man

00:29:56.680 --> 00:29:58.259
 but Peter

00:29:58.259 --> 00:29:58.519
 doesn't

00:29:58.519 --> 00:29:59.119
 stop there

00:29:59.119 --> 00:29:59.440
 because he

00:29:59.440 --> 00:29:59.759
 said you

00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:01.619
 know what

00:30:01.619 --> 00:30:02.480
 this man

 before you

00:30:04.900 --> 00:30:05.579
 to every

00:30:05.579 --> 00:30:06.000
 one of you

00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:06.539
 here now

00:30:06.539 --> 00:30:14.619
 if you'll

00:30:14.619 --> 00:30:15.140
 turn to

00:30:15.140 --> 00:30:15.680
 Jesus

00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:17.160
 you too

00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:17.579
 he says

00:30:17.579 --> 00:30:17.819
 to the

00:30:17.819 --> 00:30:18.119
 crowd

00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:19.660
 can experience

00:30:19.660 --> 00:30:20.460
 this total

00:30:20.460 --> 00:30:21.480
 perfect health

00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:22.279
 this renewal

00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:22.640
 from the

00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:23.259
 inside out

00:30:23.259 --> 00:30:25.039
 and verses

00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:25.779
 19 through

00:30:25.779 --> 00:30:26.359
 to 21

00:30:26.359 --> 00:30:29.660
 if they

00:30:29.660 --> 00:30:30.180
 repent

00:30:30.180 --> 00:30:32.460
 recognizing

00:30:32.460 --> 00:30:33.620
 all that

00:30:33.620 --> 00:30:34.019
 Jesus

00:30:34.019 --> 00:30:34.519
 is

00:30:34.519 --> 00:30:35.960
 and all

00:30:35.960 --> 00:30:36.440
 that Jesus

00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:37.180
 did for

00:30:37.180 --> 00:30:37.600
 them as

00:30:37.600 --> 00:30:37.960
 God's

00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:38.240
 kingdom

00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:39.080
 and savior

00:30:39.080 --> 00:30:41.840
 then here's

00:30:41.840 --> 00:30:42.180
 the rub

00:30:42.180 --> 00:30:42.720
 says Peter

00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:43.820
 I can tell

00:30:43.820 --> 00:30:44.259
 you now

00:30:44.259 --> 00:30:45.640
 that God

00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:46.279
 will not

00:30:46.279 --> 00:30:47.300
 treat you

00:30:47.300 --> 00:30:49.779
 as you

00:30:49.779 --> 00:30:50.140
 treated

00:30:50.140 --> 00:30:50.700
 Jesus

00:30:50.700 --> 00:30:56.040
 that's a

00:30:56.040 --> 00:30:56.380
 powerful

00:30:56.380 --> 00:30:56.960
 statement of

00:30:56.960 --> 00:30:57.320
 repentance

00:30:57.320 --> 00:30:57.900
 isn't it

00:30:57.900 --> 00:30:59.220
 and the

00:30:59.220 --> 00:30:59.700
 consequence

00:30:59.700 --> 00:31:00.060
 and the

00:31:00.060 --> 00:31:00.380
 results

00:31:00.380 --> 00:31:00.560
 of

00:31:00.560 --> 00:31:01.100
 repentance

00:31:01.100 --> 00:31:02.220
 God

00:31:02.220 --> 00:31:02.740
 will not

00:31:02.740 --> 00:31:03.060
 treat

00:31:03.060 --> 00:31:03.340
 you

00:31:03.340 --> 00:31:03.600
 in the

00:31:03.600 --> 00:31:03.980
 crowd

00:31:03.980 --> 00:31:05.420
 in the

00:31:05.420 --> 00:31:05.820
 way that

00:31:05.820 --> 00:31:06.300
 you have

00:31:06.300 --> 00:31:06.980
 dishonored

00:31:06.980 --> 00:31:07.519
 Jesus

00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:09.560
 God will

00:31:09.560 --> 00:31:09.780
 not

00:31:09.780 --> 00:31:10.280
 dishonor

00:31:10.280 --> 00:31:10.600
 you

00:31:10.600 --> 00:31:12.320
 in fact

00:31:12.320 --> 00:31:12.980
 God

00:31:12.980 --> 00:31:13.580
 will bring

00:31:13.580 --> 00:31:13.980
 you to

00:31:13.980 --> 00:31:14.420
 a position

00:31:14.420 --> 00:31:14.860
 of honor

00:31:14.860 --> 00:31:16.980
 they would

00:31:16.980 --> 00:31:17.620
 enjoy a

00:31:17.620 --> 00:31:18.360
 fresh start

00:31:18.360 --> 00:31:18.800
 that's in

00:31:18.800 --> 00:31:19.380
 those verses

00:31:19.380 --> 00:31:20.460
 a fresh

00:31:20.460 --> 00:31:21.080
 start which

00:31:21.080 --> 00:31:22.040
 is receiving

00:31:22.040 --> 00:31:22.759
 forgiveness

00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:24.140
 having your

00:31:24.140 --> 00:31:25.420
 sin and the

00:31:25.420 --> 00:31:25.900
 guilt of your

00:31:25.900 --> 00:31:26.460
 sin wiped

00:31:26.460 --> 00:31:26.920
 away

00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:29.259
 the word in

00:31:29.259 --> 00:31:29.500
 here is

00:31:29.500 --> 00:31:30.040
 refreshing

00:31:30.040 --> 00:31:30.840
 and that

00:31:30.840 --> 00:31:31.240
 is an

00:31:31.240 --> 00:31:31.680
 Old Testament

00:31:31.680 --> 00:31:32.460
 idea of

00:31:32.460 --> 00:31:33.000
 renewal

00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:35.100
 recharging the

00:31:35.100 --> 00:31:35.660
 batteries or

00:31:35.660 --> 00:31:36.500
 putting the

00:31:36.500 --> 00:31:37.000
 bank account

00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:37.640
 back into

00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:38.440
 the black

00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:38.759
 when it's

00:31:38.759 --> 00:31:38.960
 been

00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:39.740
 trillions of

00:31:39.740 --> 00:31:40.140
 dollars in

00:31:40.140 --> 00:31:40.500
 the red

00:31:40.500 --> 00:31:41.340

00:31:41.580 --> 00:31:41.900
 images

00:31:44.060 --> 00:31:44.560
 idea

00:31:44.560 --> 00:31:47.700
 and the

00:31:47.700 --> 00:31:48.120
 guarantee

00:31:48.120 --> 00:31:49.440
 that Jesus

00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:50.019
 would come

00:31:50.019 --> 00:31:50.519
 back and

00:31:50.519 --> 00:31:51.040
 take them to

00:31:51.040 --> 00:31:51.600
 heaven to be

00:31:51.600 --> 00:31:51.900
 with them

00:31:59.460 --> 00:31:59.940
 temple in

00:31:59.940 --> 00:32:00.379
 the background

00:32:00.379 --> 00:32:02.420
 because in

00:32:02.420 --> 00:32:03.019
 effect I

00:32:03.019 --> 00:32:03.319
 think what

00:32:03.319 --> 00:32:04.039
 Peter's saying

00:32:04.039 --> 00:32:04.680
 to the crowd

00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:06.240

 to the bricks

00:32:07.420 --> 00:32:07.900
 and mortar

00:32:07.900 --> 00:32:09.640

00:32:11.140 --> 00:32:12.359

00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:13.240
 is God's

00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:13.619
 temple

00:32:13.619 --> 00:32:14.879
 Jesus is the

00:32:14.879 --> 00:32:15.500
 new temple

00:32:15.500 --> 00:32:17.799
 which God

00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:18.759
 promised through

00:32:18.759 --> 00:32:19.339
 the prophets

00:32:19.339 --> 00:32:20.400
 and which

00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:21.480
 Jesus himself

00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:22.119
 claimed to be

00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:22.779
 check out

00:32:22.779 --> 00:32:23.519
 chapter John

 chapter 2

00:32:24.099 --> 00:32:24.659
 verses 12

00:32:24.659 --> 00:32:25.299
 through 25

00:32:25.299 --> 00:32:26.699
 Jesus said

00:32:26.699 --> 00:32:27.139
 to the

00:32:27.139 --> 00:32:28.019
 religious leaders

00:32:28.019 --> 00:32:28.279
 and they had

00:32:28.279 --> 00:32:28.759
 no idea

00:32:28.759 --> 00:32:29.059
 what he was

00:32:29.059 --> 00:32:29.459
 talking about

00:32:29.459 --> 00:32:30.659
 destroy this

00:32:30.659 --> 00:32:31.159
 temple and

00:32:31.159 --> 00:32:31.879
 in three days

00:32:31.879 --> 00:32:32.439
 I will raise

00:32:32.439 --> 00:32:32.959
 it up again

00:32:32.959 --> 00:32:34.679
 for it will

00:32:34.679 --> 00:32:35.319
 be raised up

00:32:35.319 --> 00:32:35.599
 again

00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:38.739
 he was speaking

00:32:38.739 --> 00:32:39.399
 of himself

00:32:39.399 --> 00:32:39.919
 and his

00:32:39.919 --> 00:32:40.279
 mission

00:32:40.279 --> 00:32:42.839
 now

00:32:42.839 --> 00:32:44.739
 according to

00:32:44.739 --> 00:32:45.919
 Jewish

00:32:45.919 --> 00:32:46.599
 understanding

00:32:46.599 --> 00:32:47.479
 and according

00:32:47.479 --> 00:32:47.839
 to the Old

00:32:47.839 --> 00:32:48.039
 Testament

00:32:48.039 --> 00:32:48.479
 scripture

00:32:48.479 --> 00:32:49.559
 according to

00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:49.979
 the prophets

00:32:49.979 --> 00:32:51.000
 Jerusalem

00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:51.720
 was the

00:32:51.720 --> 00:32:52.400
 physical

00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:53.759
 center

00:32:53.759 --> 00:32:54.460
 of God's

00:32:54.460 --> 00:32:54.799
 kingdom

00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:56.180
 the kingdom

00:32:56.180 --> 00:32:56.660
 of Israel

00:32:56.660 --> 00:32:57.079
 national

00:32:57.079 --> 00:32:57.420
 Israel

00:32:57.420 --> 00:32:58.680
 and the

00:32:58.680 --> 00:32:59.059
 temple

00:32:59.059 --> 00:32:59.680
 was the

00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:00.299
 spiritual

00:33:00.299 --> 00:33:00.819
 heart

00:33:00.819 --> 00:33:02.339
 of the

00:33:02.339 --> 00:33:02.619
 kingdom

00:33:02.619 --> 00:33:05.480
 now

00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:06.059
 what was the

00:33:06.059 --> 00:33:06.839
 significance of the

00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:07.059
 temple

00:33:07.059 --> 00:33:08.019
 the temple

00:33:08.019 --> 00:33:08.779
 was where God

00:33:08.779 --> 00:33:09.599
 resided among

00:33:09.599 --> 00:33:10.019
 his people

00:33:10.019 --> 00:33:10.400
 it was the

00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:10.960
 physical people

00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:12.460
 where people

00:33:12.460 --> 00:33:12.920
 could see

00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:13.700
 God living

00:33:13.700 --> 00:33:14.220
 as it were

00:33:14.220 --> 00:33:16.160
 and it was the

00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:16.740
 temple where

00:33:16.740 --> 00:33:17.519
 they went to

00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:19.140
 to connect

00:33:19.140 --> 00:33:19.759
 with God

00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:22.360
 they had to

00:33:22.360 --> 00:33:23.460
 offer sacrifices

00:33:23.460 --> 00:33:24.460
 they needed a

00:33:24.460 --> 00:33:25.059
 priest in the

00:33:25.059 --> 00:33:25.339
 temple

00:33:25.339 --> 00:33:26.819
 to be able to

00:33:26.819 --> 00:33:27.720
 access God

00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:30.360
 it was the

00:33:30.360 --> 00:33:30.940
 temple they went

00:33:30.940 --> 00:33:31.559
 to to receive

00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:32.059
 forgiveness

00:33:32.059 --> 00:33:33.360
 it was the

00:33:33.360 --> 00:33:33.860
 temple then they

00:33:33.860 --> 00:33:34.299
 offered other

00:33:34.299 --> 00:33:34.920
 sacrifices

00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:36.039
 of fellowship

00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:36.539
 offerings

00:33:36.539 --> 00:33:38.180
 to ensure

00:33:38.180 --> 00:33:39.240
 the ongoing

00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:40.140
 the continuation

00:33:40.140 --> 00:33:41.259
 of relationship

00:33:41.259 --> 00:33:41.879
 with God

00:33:41.879 --> 00:33:43.160
 given that

00:33:43.160 --> 00:33:43.339
 they were

00:33:43.339 --> 00:33:43.960
 sinful people

00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:44.379
 and he was

00:33:44.379 --> 00:33:45.059
 a holy God

00:33:45.059 --> 00:33:48.119
 it was a

00:33:48.119 --> 00:33:48.519
 place where

00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:48.759
 people

00:33:48.759 --> 00:33:49.440
 God's people

00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:50.140
 would enjoy

00:33:50.140 --> 00:33:50.879
 refreshment

00:33:50.879 --> 00:33:52.140
 as they enjoyed

00:33:52.140 --> 00:33:52.799
 his wonderful

00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:53.319
 blessing

00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:54.000
 as they were

00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:54.700
 shaped as a

00:33:54.700 --> 00:33:55.119
 community

00:33:55.119 --> 00:33:55.640
 because that

00:33:55.640 --> 00:33:55.980
 was one of

00:33:55.980 --> 00:33:56.359
 the things

00:33:56.359 --> 00:33:56.940
 that they

00:33:56.940 --> 00:33:57.259
 had to be

00:33:57.259 --> 00:33:57.660
 they had to

00:33:57.660 --> 00:33:58.379
 reflect God's

00:33:58.379 --> 00:33:58.859
 character

00:33:58.859 --> 00:33:59.779
 to the ends

00:33:59.779 --> 00:34:00.400
 of the earth

00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:02.259
 that was what

00:34:02.259 --> 00:34:02.839
 it was about

00:34:02.839 --> 00:34:05.319
 of course

00:34:05.319 --> 00:34:06.400
 national Israel

00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:07.920
 failed miserably

00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:08.460
 to do any

00:34:08.460 --> 00:34:08.920
 of that

00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:13.720
 and Peter's

00:34:13.720 --> 00:34:14.280
 now saying

00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:14.700
 to these

00:34:14.700 --> 00:34:15.039
 people

00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:16.000
 all of whom

00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:17.159
 are spiritually

00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:17.740
 disabled

00:34:17.740 --> 00:34:19.480
 all of whom

00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:19.980
 are in a sense

00:34:19.980 --> 00:34:20.840
 cut off from

00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:21.260
 God

00:34:21.260 --> 00:34:23.079
 even though

00:34:23.079 --> 00:34:23.760
 they're standing

00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:24.079
 in this

00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:24.800
 magnificent

00:34:24.800 --> 00:34:25.559
 building called

00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:25.980
 the temple

00:34:25.980 --> 00:34:27.920
 Peter's

00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:28.619
 essentially saying

00:34:28.619 --> 00:34:29.440
 don't look to

00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:30.019
 the bricks and

00:34:30.019 --> 00:34:30.260
 mortar

00:34:30.260 --> 00:34:31.460
 don't look to

00:34:31.460 --> 00:34:31.820
 history

00:34:31.820 --> 00:34:32.300
 don't look

00:34:32.300 --> 00:34:32.820
 to tradition

00:34:32.820 --> 00:34:33.880
 look to

00:34:33.880 --> 00:34:34.360
 Jesus

00:34:34.360 --> 00:34:35.860
 he is your

00:34:35.860 --> 00:34:36.240
 temple

00:34:36.240 --> 00:34:38.639
 he is

00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:39.960
 the place

00:34:39.960 --> 00:34:40.299
 you go

00:34:40.299 --> 00:34:41.339
 to

00:34:41.339 --> 00:34:41.500
 for

00:34:41.500 --> 00:34:41.980
 forgiveness

00:34:41.980 --> 00:34:43.359
 he is the

00:34:43.359 --> 00:34:43.559
 one

00:34:43.559 --> 00:34:44.239
 who will

00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:45.119
 assure you

00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:45.699
 and confirm

00:34:45.699 --> 00:34:46.019
 to you

00:34:46.019 --> 00:34:46.599
 ongoing

00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:47.299
 relationship

00:34:47.299 --> 00:34:47.900
 and acceptance

00:34:47.900 --> 00:34:48.519
 with God

00:34:48.519 --> 00:34:51.799
 he is where

00:34:51.799 --> 00:34:52.219
 you see

00:34:52.219 --> 00:34:52.659
 God

00:34:52.659 --> 00:34:53.379
 in all his

00:34:53.379 --> 00:34:53.719
 glory

00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:54.699
 and he

00:34:54.699 --> 00:34:55.440
 will shape

00:34:55.440 --> 00:34:55.940
 you into

00:34:55.940 --> 00:34:56.699
 that community

00:34:56.699 --> 00:34:57.779
 that will

00:34:57.779 --> 00:34:59.059
 display God's

00:34:59.059 --> 00:34:59.559
 character

00:34:59.559 --> 00:35:00.559
 to the ends

00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:00.819
 of the earth

00:35:00.819 --> 00:35:01.960
 the first glimpse

00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:02.400
 of which we

00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:03.000
 saw at the end

00:35:03.000 --> 00:35:03.759
 of chapter 2

00:35:03.760 --> 00:35:08.880
 Jesus

00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:09.540
 says Peter

00:35:09.540 --> 00:35:10.380
 is God's

00:35:10.380 --> 00:35:11.200
 pathways to

00:35:11.200 --> 00:35:11.680
 salvation

00:35:11.680 --> 00:35:12.780
 he is the

00:35:12.780 --> 00:35:13.960
 pathway away

00:35:13.960 --> 00:35:15.180
 from lifelessness

00:35:15.180 --> 00:35:16.120
 and hopelessness

00:35:16.120 --> 00:35:17.160
 away from the

00:35:17.160 --> 00:35:17.800
 distorted

00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:19.000
 and disabled

00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:19.660
 by sin

00:35:19.660 --> 00:35:21.800
 away from

00:35:21.800 --> 00:35:22.300
 that which

00:35:22.300 --> 00:35:22.780
 the Bible

00:35:22.780 --> 00:35:23.420
 another point

00:35:23.420 --> 00:35:23.920
 calls an

00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:24.400
 empty way

00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:24.840
 of life

00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:25.580
 handed down

00:35:25.580 --> 00:35:26.280
 to us

00:35:26.280 --> 00:35:26.600
 by our

00:35:26.600 --> 00:35:27.240
 forefathers

00:35:27.239 --> 00:35:30.259
 Jesus

00:35:30.259 --> 00:35:30.679
 is the

00:35:30.679 --> 00:35:31.339
 pathway

00:35:31.339 --> 00:35:32.379
 to break

00:35:32.379 --> 00:35:33.000
 the cycle

00:35:33.000 --> 00:35:33.500
 of despair

00:35:33.500 --> 00:35:34.439
 to break

00:35:34.439 --> 00:35:34.899
 the cycle

00:35:34.899 --> 00:35:35.719
 of exclusion

00:35:35.719 --> 00:35:36.659
 from God

00:35:36.659 --> 00:35:38.000
 with no

00:35:38.000 --> 00:35:38.500
 hope of

00:35:38.500 --> 00:35:38.819
 anything

00:35:38.819 --> 00:35:39.319
 better

00:35:39.319 --> 00:35:39.959
 in the

00:35:39.959 --> 00:35:40.299
 future

00:35:40.299 --> 00:35:42.159
 he is the

00:35:42.159 --> 00:35:42.419
 one who

00:35:42.419 --> 00:35:42.919
 will shape

00:35:42.919 --> 00:35:43.219
 the new

00:35:43.219 --> 00:35:43.679
 community

00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:46.019
 the church

00:35:46.019 --> 00:35:46.899
 so Christ's

00:35:46.899 --> 00:35:47.319
 character

00:35:47.319 --> 00:35:48.000
 displayed

00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:48.939
 to the ends

00:35:48.939 --> 00:35:49.399
 of the earth

00:35:49.399 --> 00:35:50.839
 in fact

00:35:50.839 --> 00:35:51.379
 the last few

00:35:51.379 --> 00:35:51.679
 verses

00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:52.619
 chapter 22

00:35:52.619 --> 00:35:53.539
 to 26

00:35:53.539 --> 00:35:54.159
 as I finish

00:35:54.159 --> 00:35:54.519
 up now

00:35:54.519 --> 00:35:54.739
 I just

00:35:54.739 --> 00:35:55.500
 draw your

00:35:55.500 --> 00:35:56.079
 attention to that

00:35:56.079 --> 00:35:56.719
 it's almost

00:35:56.719 --> 00:35:57.179
 as if Peter

00:35:57.179 --> 00:35:57.459
 said

00:35:57.459 --> 00:35:57.879
 now look

00:35:57.879 --> 00:36:00.659
 this

00:36:00.659 --> 00:36:01.459
 what I'm

00:36:01.459 --> 00:36:01.899
 talking to you

00:36:01.899 --> 00:36:02.319
 about now

00:36:02.319 --> 00:36:03.079
 is the very

00:36:03.079 --> 00:36:03.819
 thing that God

00:36:03.819 --> 00:36:04.579
 has desired

00:36:04.579 --> 00:36:05.339
 to give you

00:36:05.339 --> 00:36:06.199
 all along

00:36:06.199 --> 00:36:07.619
 this is what

00:36:07.619 --> 00:36:08.139
 he spoke to

00:36:08.139 --> 00:36:09.159
 Abraham and

00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:09.919
 Moses and

00:36:09.919 --> 00:36:10.439
 David and

00:36:10.439 --> 00:36:11.059
 all the prophets

00:36:11.059 --> 00:36:11.399
 about

00:36:11.399 --> 00:36:13.659
 and it's

00:36:13.659 --> 00:36:14.039
 here

00:36:14.039 --> 00:36:16.779
 just listen

00:36:16.779 --> 00:36:17.239
 for goodness

00:36:17.239 --> 00:36:17.779
 sake he's

00:36:17.779 --> 00:36:18.099
 saying to the

00:36:18.099 --> 00:36:18.259
 crowd

00:36:18.259 --> 00:36:19.239
 listen to

00:36:19.239 --> 00:36:19.739
 what God

00:36:19.739 --> 00:36:20.179
 has said

00:36:20.179 --> 00:36:20.480
 to you

00:36:20.480 --> 00:36:20.980
 in Jesus

00:36:20.980 --> 00:36:21.959
 and you

00:36:21.959 --> 00:36:22.659
 will receive

00:36:22.659 --> 00:36:23.079
 the very

00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:23.599
 blessing

00:36:23.599 --> 00:36:24.000
 that God

00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:24.379
 has always

00:36:24.379 --> 00:36:24.959
 wanted to

00:36:24.959 --> 00:36:25.379
 give you

00:36:25.380 --> 00:36:30.059
 turn to

00:36:30.059 --> 00:36:30.380
 Jesus

00:36:30.380 --> 00:36:31.000
 for perfect

00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:31.340
 health

00:36:31.340 --> 00:36:32.059
 and experience

00:36:32.059 --> 00:36:33.579
 sorry

00:36:33.579 --> 00:36:34.079
 turn to

00:36:34.079 --> 00:36:34.340
 Jesus

00:36:34.340 --> 00:36:35.480
 for perfect

00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:35.700
 health

00:36:35.700 --> 00:36:36.539
 and experience

00:36:36.539 --> 00:36:37.960
 every blessing

00:36:37.960 --> 00:36:38.400
 of God

00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:41.980
 I'll finish

00:36:41.980 --> 00:36:42.360
 on this

00:36:42.360 --> 00:36:43.220
 the choice

00:36:43.220 --> 00:36:43.539
 for the

00:36:43.539 --> 00:36:43.920
 crowd

00:36:43.920 --> 00:36:44.460
 and therefore

00:36:44.460 --> 00:36:44.860
 the choice

00:36:44.860 --> 00:36:45.160
 for you

00:36:45.160 --> 00:36:45.559
 and me

00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:47.220
 could not

00:36:47.220 --> 00:36:47.880
 be more

00:36:47.880 --> 00:36:48.340
 simple

00:36:48.340 --> 00:36:52.079
 with the

00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:52.640
 consequences

00:36:52.640 --> 00:36:53.120
 of that

00:36:53.120 --> 00:36:53.600
 choice

00:36:53.600 --> 00:36:55.059
 not being

00:36:55.059 --> 00:36:55.340
 able to

00:36:55.340 --> 00:36:55.680
 be more

00:36:55.680 --> 00:36:56.140
 profound

00:36:56.140 --> 00:37:00.920
 listen

00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:01.920
 says Peter

00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:02.620
 turn to

00:37:02.620 --> 00:37:03.120
 Jesus

00:37:03.120 --> 00:37:04.780
 for perfect

00:37:04.780 --> 00:37:05.140
 health

00:37:05.140 --> 00:37:05.539
 and to

00:37:05.539 --> 00:37:06.160
 experience

00:37:06.160 --> 00:37:06.980
 every blessing

00:37:06.980 --> 00:37:07.460
 of God

00:37:07.460 --> 00:37:09.240
 or

00:37:09.240 --> 00:37:11.100
 shut your

00:37:11.100 --> 00:37:11.460
 eyes

00:37:11.460 --> 00:37:12.160
 shut your

00:37:12.160 --> 00:37:12.500
 ears

00:37:12.500 --> 00:37:13.800
 continue to

00:37:13.800 --> 00:37:14.200
 reject

00:37:14.200 --> 00:37:14.720
 Jesus

00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:16.000
 and as it

00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:16.199
 says

00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:16.339
 they

00:37:16.339 --> 00:37:16.819
 experience

00:37:16.819 --> 00:37:17.500
 the full

00:37:17.500 --> 00:37:18.199
 judgment

00:37:18.199 --> 00:37:18.699
 of God

00:37:18.699 --> 00:37:21.899
 see how

00:37:21.899 --> 00:37:22.480
 the choice

00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:22.839
 is so

00:37:22.839 --> 00:37:23.259
 simple

00:37:23.259 --> 00:37:25.339
 the consequences

00:37:25.339 --> 00:37:25.759
 are so

00:37:25.759 --> 00:37:26.399
 profound

00:37:26.399 --> 00:37:29.000
 so let me

00:37:29.000 --> 00:37:29.379
 end where I

00:37:29.379 --> 00:37:29.699
 started

00:37:29.699 --> 00:37:33.539
 gold is

00:37:33.539 --> 00:37:34.000
 always

00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:34.480
 alluring

00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:37.759
 it's the

00:37:37.759 --> 00:37:38.139
 currency

00:37:38.139 --> 00:37:38.539
 of this

00:37:38.539 --> 00:37:38.899
 world

00:37:38.899 --> 00:37:42.659
 but the

00:37:42.659 --> 00:37:43.359
 currency of

00:37:43.359 --> 00:37:43.739
 heaven

00:37:43.739 --> 00:37:44.619
 is Jesus

00:37:44.619 --> 00:37:48.579
 and so the

00:37:48.579 --> 00:37:49.019
 question is a

00:37:49.019 --> 00:37:49.339
 very simple

00:37:49.339 --> 00:37:49.859
 one to you

00:37:49.859 --> 00:37:51.099
 is that

00:37:51.099 --> 00:37:52.039
 worth more

00:37:52.039 --> 00:37:52.639
 than gold

00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:53.039
 to you

00:37:53.039 --> 00:37:53.719
 is he

00:37:53.719 --> 00:37:54.619
 worth more

00:37:54.619 --> 00:37:55.420
 than gold

00:37:55.420 --> 00:37:56.059
 to you

00:37:56.059 --> 00:38:01.460
 is belonging

00:38:01.460 --> 00:38:02.199
 to Jesus

00:38:02.199 --> 00:38:04.199
 a treasure

00:38:04.199 --> 00:38:05.900
 you want

00:38:05.900 --> 00:38:06.719
 for yourself

00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:09.719
 for your

00:38:09.719 --> 00:38:10.159
 children

00:38:10.159 --> 00:38:10.900
 for your

00:38:10.900 --> 00:38:11.359
 friends

00:38:11.360 --> 00:38:15.519
 I

00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:15.880
 despair

00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:16.380
 sometimes

00:38:16.380 --> 00:38:16.680
 when I

00:38:16.680 --> 00:38:17.079
 hear

00:38:17.079 --> 00:38:19.559
 parents

00:38:19.559 --> 00:38:20.120
 it may

00:38:20.120 --> 00:38:20.480
 not be a

00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:20.660
 true

00:38:20.660 --> 00:38:21.099
 reflection

00:38:21.099 --> 00:38:21.340
 of what

00:38:21.340 --> 00:38:21.500
 they're

00:38:21.500 --> 00:38:21.640
 saying

00:38:21.640 --> 00:38:22.260
 but it's

00:38:22.260 --> 00:38:22.620
 what they

00:38:22.620 --> 00:38:23.260
 express

00:38:23.260 --> 00:38:24.760
 needs

00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:26.120
 I just

00:38:26.120 --> 00:38:26.500
 want to

00:38:26.500 --> 00:38:26.920
 give my

00:38:26.920 --> 00:38:27.599
 children a

00:38:27.599 --> 00:38:28.480
 good financial

00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:29.099
 start in

00:38:29.099 --> 00:38:29.579
 life

00:38:29.579 --> 00:38:38.159
 let me

00:38:38.159 --> 00:38:38.440
 pray

00:38:38.440 --> 00:38:43.759
 Lord what a

00:38:43.759 --> 00:38:44.599
 wonderful

00:38:44.599 --> 00:38:45.480
 wonderful picture

00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:46.179
 you've given

00:38:46.179 --> 00:38:47.139
 us a very

00:38:47.139 --> 00:38:48.000
 personal and

00:38:48.000 --> 00:38:48.719
 immediate picture

00:38:48.719 --> 00:38:49.619
 of this man's

00:38:49.619 --> 00:38:50.539
 plight and

00:38:50.539 --> 00:38:51.239
 then the

00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:51.539
 fact that

00:38:51.539 --> 00:38:52.099
 he's renewed

00:38:52.099 --> 00:38:52.559
 in you

00:38:52.559 --> 00:38:54.579
 Lord we

00:38:54.579 --> 00:38:55.860
 recognize and

00:38:55.860 --> 00:38:56.199
 acknowledge

00:38:56.199 --> 00:38:56.519
 your

00:38:56.519 --> 00:38:57.940
 both your

00:38:57.940 --> 00:38:58.800
 power and

00:38:58.800 --> 00:38:58.980
 your

00:38:58.980 --> 00:38:59.380
 willingness

00:38:59.380 --> 00:39:02.199
 to heal

00:39:02.199 --> 00:39:02.500
 people

00:39:02.500 --> 00:39:02.940
 physically

00:39:02.940 --> 00:39:03.579
 and we

00:39:03.579 --> 00:39:04.199
 know Lord

00:39:04.199 --> 00:39:05.039
 that you

00:39:05.039 --> 00:39:05.280
 do

00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:07.259
 but help

00:39:07.259 --> 00:39:07.619
 us Lord

00:39:07.619 --> 00:39:08.320
 not to

00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:08.820
 trip over

00:39:08.820 --> 00:39:09.420
 this miracle

00:39:09.420 --> 00:39:10.659
 and become

00:39:10.659 --> 00:39:11.360
 demanding

00:39:11.360 --> 00:39:12.139
 as though

00:39:12.139 --> 00:39:12.579
 somehow

00:39:12.579 --> 00:39:13.820
 that is the

00:39:13.820 --> 00:39:14.420
 key point

00:39:14.420 --> 00:39:16.599
 help us to

00:39:16.599 --> 00:39:17.119
 look to the

00:39:17.119 --> 00:39:17.619
 Lord Jesus

00:39:17.619 --> 00:39:19.239
 and see that

00:39:19.239 --> 00:39:19.800
 in him we

00:39:19.800 --> 00:39:21.059
 have perfect

00:39:21.059 --> 00:39:21.440
 health

00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:23.739
 and help us

00:39:23.739 --> 00:39:24.239

00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:24.880
 treasure that

00:39:24.880 --> 00:39:26.099
 is far

00:39:26.099 --> 00:39:27.279
 more value

00:39:27.279 --> 00:39:27.880
 than money

00:39:27.880 --> 00:39:29.880
 and help us

00:39:29.880 --> 00:39:30.619
 to orientate

00:39:30.619 --> 00:39:31.219
 our lives

00:39:31.219 --> 00:39:31.779

00:39:32.500 --> 00:39:32.839
 treasure

00:39:32.839 --> 00:39:33.980
 in Jesus

00:39:33.980 --> 00:39:34.299
 name

00:39:34.299 --> 00:39:34.679
 Amen

00:39:34.679 --> 00:39:37.559
 Thank you
