00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.480
 You are listening to a message from Southwood Presbyterian Church in Huntsville, Alabama.

00:00:06.980 --> 00:00:10.620
 Our passion is to experience and express grace. Join us.

00:00:12.300 --> 00:00:19.019
 Good morning. It's good to be here at Southwood this morning and I want to say thank you for

00:00:19.019 --> 00:00:23.740
 giving me this opportunity to preach and bring God's Word this morning and also worship.

00:00:23.739 --> 00:00:30.359
 And so, with that being said, if you have your Bibles or you can look up at the screen,

00:00:30.500 --> 00:00:36.179
 you'll see that we'll be looking at Matthew chapter 7, verses 21 through 23.

00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:45.340
 And as always, this is God's good and holy Word. It stands over us. It is for our good and for our benefit.

00:00:46.099 --> 00:00:48.119
 Therefore, let us give our attention to it.

00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:59.379
 Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven,

00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:04.900
 but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:16.219
 On that day, many will say to me, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name?

00:01:16.219 --> 00:01:20.459
 And cast out demons in your name?

00:01:21.739 --> 00:01:26.159
 And do many mighty works in your name?

00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:31.200
 And then will I declare to them,

00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:33.420
 I never knew you.

00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.239
 Depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.

00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:43.480
 This is God's Word. Let me pray for us and pray for our time this morning.

00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:43.900
 Let's pray.

00:01:46.219 --> 00:01:48.719
 Jesus, as always,

00:01:50.039 --> 00:01:55.120
 as always, we need you.

00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:58.980
 We need your grace.

00:01:59.219 --> 00:02:00.340
 We need your mercy.

00:02:01.620 --> 00:02:03.939
 We need your kindness to us.

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:06.719
 Especially

00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:10.099
 where we are sitting under your Word.

00:02:10.099 --> 00:02:17.079
 Lord, we ask that you would be with us this morning,

00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:18.900
 that you would soften our hearts,

00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:20.900
 that we might hear you and hear your Word.

00:02:23.099 --> 00:02:25.979
 We ask that you would unstop our ears

00:02:25.979 --> 00:02:31.479
 and again shine the light of your grace upon us,

00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:38.759
 that we might take in these hard but good words,

00:02:39.459 --> 00:02:42.759
 that we might see you as beautiful,

00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:44.579
 as glorious,

00:02:44.979 --> 00:02:49.060
 that we might see your gospel as it really is,

00:02:49.139 --> 00:02:50.339
 the good news for us.

00:02:50.340 --> 00:02:55.539
 our prayer this morning, Lord,

00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:57.980
 is that you would be our teacher,

00:02:58.860 --> 00:02:59.879
 that by your Spirit,

00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:01.099
 you would teach us.

00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:03.680
 For we,

00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:04.560
 your people,

00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:06.659
 we do not need to hear from a man,

00:03:06.659 --> 00:03:10.500
 but we need to hear from you.

00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:14.379
 And so we ask,

00:03:14.900 --> 00:03:15.419
 kindly,

00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:16.079
 humbly,

00:03:16.340 --> 00:03:16.659
 begging,

00:03:18.219 --> 00:03:19.439
 that you, God,

00:03:19.500 --> 00:03:21.419
 would be gracious and kind to us

00:03:21.419 --> 00:03:23.139
 and speak to us,

00:03:23.659 --> 00:03:25.979
 that we might be changed,

00:03:27.659 --> 00:03:29.919
 that we might leave this place

00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:32.579
 differently from the way we came in.

00:03:32.580 --> 00:03:36.040
 We ask,

00:03:36.180 --> 00:03:36.260
 Lord,

00:03:36.300 --> 00:03:37.340
 that you would use me,

00:03:37.420 --> 00:03:37.820
 a sinner,

00:03:38.980 --> 00:03:40.840
 to proclaim the goodness

00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:42.520
 and the excellencies of your kingdom.

00:03:44.860 --> 00:03:46.760
 We pray all these things in Christ's name.

00:03:47.780 --> 00:03:48.060
 Amen.

00:03:49.340 --> 00:03:50.020
 Growing up,

00:03:50.060 --> 00:03:53.260
 I was a part of about six friends

00:03:53.260 --> 00:03:56.800
 who were really big into WWF wrestling.

00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.140
 So much that I pretty much used to say

00:04:00.140 --> 00:04:01.480
 that Hulk Hogan was my dad.

00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:03.139
 I don't know if you can see the resemblance.

00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:06.719
 But we really loved wrestling.

00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:08.479
 We would talk about it all the time.

00:04:08.579 --> 00:04:09.899
 It would consume our lives.

00:04:10.339 --> 00:04:12.099
 It consumed everything we did.

00:04:12.659 --> 00:04:14.060
 And these circle of friends,

00:04:14.239 --> 00:04:14.479
 we would,

00:04:14.899 --> 00:04:15.099
 you know,

00:04:15.139 --> 00:04:16.639
 a lot of times just try to emulate

00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:20.519
 what we saw on WWF the night before.

00:04:21.420 --> 00:04:21.639
 Well,

00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:23.199
 there's one friend in this group

00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.399
 who in particular was a friend

00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:29.420
 who made us comfortable in a lot of ways.

00:04:29.420 --> 00:04:32.140
 And the reason why is because

00:04:32.140 --> 00:04:34.620
 whenever this friend would come around,

00:04:35.220 --> 00:04:37.860
 we knew to be on our guards.

00:04:38.220 --> 00:04:40.379
 We knew that we better watch out.

00:04:40.740 --> 00:04:44.140
 And the reason why is because this friend,

00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:47.280
 instead of greeting you like a normal person would,

00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:47.939
 you know,

00:04:47.939 --> 00:04:49.580
 like a handshake or a hug,

00:04:50.180 --> 00:04:53.439
 this friend would greet you with a wrestling move.

00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:55.980
 And so we would be standing in a circle

00:04:55.980 --> 00:04:57.180
 and we would see this guy coming

00:04:57.180 --> 00:04:58.939
 and immediately we'd start trembling

00:04:58.939 --> 00:04:59.860
 because we knew,

00:05:00.019 --> 00:05:00.300
 okay,

00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:02.240
 he's about to put one of us in a full Nelson

00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:04.740
 or he's about to dropkick one of us

00:05:04.740 --> 00:05:06.339
 and we're just going to have to take it.

00:05:06.779 --> 00:05:08.100
 And the thing about it was

00:05:08.100 --> 00:05:12.319
 that was his way of saying hello to us.

00:05:12.980 --> 00:05:15.860
 And so it got worse over time.

00:05:15.860 --> 00:05:18.240
 The more we saw him coming,

00:05:18.840 --> 00:05:21.620
 the more immediately in our hearts we would tremble

00:05:21.620 --> 00:05:25.160
 because we knew that this could be the day

00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:27.600
 that you would be suplexed on concrete

00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.420
 or you would be putting the figure four leg lock.

00:05:31.400 --> 00:05:34.080
 And for those of you who are like me now,

00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:35.420
 a little jaded about wrestling,

00:05:36.220 --> 00:05:37.900
 is you know it's not real,

00:05:38.520 --> 00:05:40.699
 but if you do these moves in real life on people,

00:05:40.840 --> 00:05:41.580
 they actually hurt.

00:05:41.579 --> 00:05:49.800
 And so this friend was an extreme source

00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:52.279
 of anxiety and discomfort for me.

00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:56.060
 And when I think about that story

00:05:56.060 --> 00:05:57.360
 and that experience growing up,

00:05:58.019 --> 00:06:00.299
 there are very few times

00:06:00.299 --> 00:06:03.240
 where I feel that sense of angst

00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:05.399
 and anxiety and discomfort.

00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:09.599
 And one of those ways in particular

00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.920
 is at times when I read the Word of God.

00:06:15.080 --> 00:06:17.000
 That you're reading in your Bibles,

00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:21.180
 you're having your personal time of devotion with God,

00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:24.439
 and then you stumble on a passage

00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.020
 like this one we read this morning.

00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:31.439
 That Jesus is speaking to his disciples

00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:35.560
 and talking about what it means to be in his kingdom.

00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:39.000
 And then he says this,

00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:40.920
 Not everyone who says to me,

00:06:41.620 --> 00:06:44.819
 Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven.

00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.560
 Not everyone who says to me,

00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.300
 Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven.

00:06:54.060 --> 00:06:56.819
 That as I think about these words,

00:06:57.840 --> 00:07:00.040
 that immediately they unsettle me.

00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:04.280
 That these words bring to mind

00:07:04.280 --> 00:07:07.160
 the words of C.S. Lewis

00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:08.740
 in his work,

00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:10.000
 The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe,

00:07:10.060 --> 00:07:11.000
 if you're familiar with.

00:07:11.580 --> 00:07:14.160
 The first time the children are going to meet Aslan,

00:07:14.260 --> 00:07:15.240
 who's this God figure.

00:07:16.340 --> 00:07:18.560
 And they are inquiring to figure out

00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:19.740
 what is Aslan like?

00:07:19.780 --> 00:07:21.640
 And they're asking Mr. Beaver these questions.

00:07:23.220 --> 00:07:25.460
 And Lucy asks this question,

00:07:25.459 --> 00:07:27.739
 Is he safe?

00:07:29.659 --> 00:07:32.519
 And you can remember Mr. Beaver's response,

00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:33.939
 Safe?

00:07:35.620 --> 00:07:36.239
 Safe?

00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:39.560
 Who said anything about safe?

00:07:41.019 --> 00:07:42.339
 But he's good.

00:07:44.060 --> 00:07:44.620
 Safe?

00:07:44.620 --> 00:07:44.699
 Safe?

00:07:45.419 --> 00:07:46.060
 Safe?

00:07:46.979 --> 00:07:49.079
 Who said anything about safe?

00:07:49.979 --> 00:07:51.679
 But he is good.

00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:57.220
 And that's what I want you to come away with this morning.

00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:02.519
 That Jesus says hard things to us.

00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:05.379
 Things that make us feel unsafe.

00:08:07.019 --> 00:08:09.379
 But it is for our good.

00:08:09.699 --> 00:08:11.240
 It is for our benefit.

00:08:13.259 --> 00:08:15.399
 That Jesus in this passage is talking about

00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:18.699
 what it means to enter the kingdom of heaven.

00:08:18.699 --> 00:08:21.139
 And he shows us,

00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:23.019
 for our purposes this morning,

00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:24.879
 these three things.

00:08:26.060 --> 00:08:27.519
 That Jesus shows us

00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:30.980
 that entrance into the kingdom of heaven

00:08:30.980 --> 00:08:34.039
 is not through right theology.

00:08:35.779 --> 00:08:37.439
 Secondly, he shows us that entrance

00:08:37.439 --> 00:08:39.299
 into the kingdom of heaven

00:08:39.299 --> 00:08:42.340
 is not through right works.

00:08:43.539 --> 00:08:45.379
 But thirdly, he shows us that

00:08:45.379 --> 00:08:47.179
 entrance into the kingdom of heaven

00:08:47.179 --> 00:08:50.000
 is through him and him alone.

00:08:51.579 --> 00:08:53.839
 So not through right theology,

00:08:54.359 --> 00:08:57.019
 not through right works,

00:08:57.379 --> 00:09:00.839
 but through him and him alone.

00:09:02.620 --> 00:09:04.419
 So as we consider this passage

00:09:04.419 --> 00:09:05.620
 in light of this first point,

00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:07.459
 you might be familiar,

00:09:07.599 --> 00:09:09.199
 this is the Gospel of Matthew.

00:09:09.479 --> 00:09:11.639
 This is one of the five major teaching sections

00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:12.659
 of the Gospel of Matthew

00:09:12.659 --> 00:09:15.579
 where Jesus has began to speak about his kingdom.

00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:17.719
 And in Matthew 5,

00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:19.199
 he begins what we know as

00:09:19.199 --> 00:09:20.240
 the Sermon on the Mount.

00:09:20.779 --> 00:09:21.939
 He begins with the Beatitudes.

00:09:22.100 --> 00:09:23.500
 He begins by talking about

00:09:23.500 --> 00:09:25.919
 how the law speaks to our hearts,

00:09:26.459 --> 00:09:28.000
 how it shows us our sin

00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:30.100
 and our need for God's grace.

00:09:30.899 --> 00:09:32.679
 He continues in talking about

00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:34.279
 what it means to pray

00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:36.899
 and what it means to trust God

00:09:36.899 --> 00:09:37.860
 and not be anxious.

00:09:37.860 --> 00:09:40.899
 And then as you get into chapter 7,

00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:42.860
 he begins to talk about false prophets

00:09:42.860 --> 00:09:46.039
 and trees that do not bear good fruit.

00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:49.000
 And then we get to verse 21

00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:50.120
 and he says this,

00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:52.600
 Not everyone who says to me,

00:09:52.680 --> 00:09:54.340
 Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven,

00:09:54.460 --> 00:09:56.879
 but the one who does the will of my Father

00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:58.480
 who is in heaven.

00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:02.120
 And if you think about those words,

00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:04.399
 Lord, Lord,

00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:08.159
 in the context in which this passage is given,

00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:11.139
 that what Jesus is teaching us

00:10:11.139 --> 00:10:13.379
 is that for these people

00:10:13.379 --> 00:10:14.519
 of whom he's speaking,

00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:17.100
 they really do understand

00:10:17.100 --> 00:10:19.659
 and get some things about him.

00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:22.439
 That, for example,

00:10:22.899 --> 00:10:24.100
 they get the fact

00:10:24.100 --> 00:10:26.399
 that he is Lord.

00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:28.679
 They get the fact

00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:30.360
 that he is master

00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:32.000
 and ruler over all things.

00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:35.059
 They get that he is sovereign

00:10:35.059 --> 00:10:37.899
 and in control of all things.

00:10:39.179 --> 00:10:41.919
 Now, I know it's easy for us at times

00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:43.159
 to miss the significance

00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:44.279
 of the word Lord,

00:10:44.940 --> 00:10:46.679
 especially in Southern culture

00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:49.320
 because it's ingrained in our culture.

00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:52.360
 But I want you to take a step back

00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:53.340
 and try to imagine

00:10:53.340 --> 00:10:55.100
 what it would be like

00:10:55.100 --> 00:10:56.940
 for a first century Jew

00:10:56.940 --> 00:11:00.080
 to call Jesus Lord.

00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:02.480
 that for one thing,

00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:05.240
 they would be guilty

00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:06.879
 of one of the greatest sins

00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:10.520
 in the eyes of Jewish religious leaders.

00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:13.980
 That you don't call a man Lord.

00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:15.920
 That is blasphemy.

00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:17.920
 That is wrong.

00:11:18.820 --> 00:11:19.639
 And in some cases,

00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:20.879
 it's punishable by death.

00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:23.340
 But also,

00:11:23.779 --> 00:11:26.539
 that this group of people

00:11:26.539 --> 00:11:28.500
 were under Roman authority.

00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:30.120
 That is,

00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:31.240
 they were taught

00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:33.139
 that only one person was Lord.

00:11:33.899 --> 00:11:35.200
 And it's not Jesus.

00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:37.039
 It's Caesar.

00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:39.220
 Caesar is Lord.

00:11:40.100 --> 00:11:42.279
 And any threat to his lordship

00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:44.100
 was a crime

00:11:44.100 --> 00:11:46.620
 that was punishable by death.

00:11:46.620 --> 00:11:49.259
 And yet,

00:11:49.620 --> 00:11:51.019
 Jesus would say

00:11:51.019 --> 00:11:52.480
 of these people,

00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:54.960
 listen,

00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:56.039
 you really do get

00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.759
 who I am.

00:11:59.879 --> 00:12:01.440
 That you call me Lord,

00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:02.899
 and rightly so.

00:12:05.100 --> 00:12:05.899
 And yet,

00:12:06.019 --> 00:12:06.539
 we see

00:12:06.539 --> 00:12:08.220
 that he says

00:12:08.220 --> 00:12:09.200
 these hard words.

00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:11.000
 not everyone

00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:12.100
 who says to me,

00:12:13.020 --> 00:12:13.940
 Lord, Lord,

00:12:14.680 --> 00:12:15.600
 will enter

00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:16.900
 the kingdom of heaven.

00:12:18.980 --> 00:12:20.379
 It shows us

00:12:20.379 --> 00:12:22.120
 that even though

00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:22.640
 these people,

00:12:22.780 --> 00:12:23.980
 theologically speaking,

00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:26.360
 knew things about God

00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:27.280
 that were right,

00:12:28.640 --> 00:12:29.259
 that that,

00:12:29.520 --> 00:12:30.340
 in and of itself,

00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:32.060
 was not enough.

00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:34.120
 That that alone

00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:36.320
 did not save them.

00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:38.700
 And especially

00:12:38.700 --> 00:12:41.860
 being a ordained minister

00:12:41.860 --> 00:12:43.900
 in the Presbyterian Church

00:12:43.900 --> 00:12:44.540
 in America,

00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:46.800
 I think this is something

00:12:46.800 --> 00:12:48.140
 we need to hear.

00:12:49.620 --> 00:12:50.860
 That you and I

00:12:50.860 --> 00:12:51.520
 need to hear

00:12:51.520 --> 00:12:52.520
 over and over again

00:12:52.520 --> 00:12:54.320
 that

00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:56.340
 reformed theology

00:12:56.340 --> 00:12:57.500
 does not save us.

00:12:58.440 --> 00:12:59.940
 That the five solas

00:12:59.940 --> 00:13:01.000
 don't save us.

00:13:01.780 --> 00:13:02.840
 That adherence

00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:04.320
 to the Westminster standards

00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:06.420
 do not save us.

00:13:07.560 --> 00:13:09.320
 That our perfect theology

00:13:10.060 --> 00:13:11.420
 does not save us.

00:13:11.640 --> 00:13:13.580
 Jesus saves us.

00:13:15.180 --> 00:13:17.440
 Jesus alone saves us.

00:13:18.760 --> 00:13:20.060
 And he is saying,

00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:23.580
 not everyone who says to me,

00:13:23.760 --> 00:13:24.540
 Lord, Lord,

00:13:24.620 --> 00:13:26.320
 will enter the kingdom of heaven.

00:13:27.800 --> 00:13:28.800
 And I know

00:13:28.800 --> 00:13:30.680
 when we hear these words,

00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:33.280
 as I so often do,

00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:35.059
 I just immediately think,

00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:36.799
 well, he's not talking

00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:37.279
 about me.

00:13:39.339 --> 00:13:40.179
 He's talking about

00:13:40.179 --> 00:13:40.899
 those other people.

00:13:42.939 --> 00:13:43.939
 And I'm going to ask

00:13:43.939 --> 00:13:45.220
 that you not do that.

00:13:46.319 --> 00:13:47.240
 I'm going to ask

00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:48.539
 that you not run to

00:13:48.539 --> 00:13:49.839
 the Westminster Confession

00:13:49.839 --> 00:13:50.319
 of Faith,

00:13:50.740 --> 00:13:51.980
 chapter 17 and 18,

00:13:52.179 --> 00:13:52.779
 on the assurance

00:13:52.779 --> 00:13:53.759
 of grace and salvation

00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:54.740
 and perseverance

00:13:54.740 --> 00:13:55.439
 of the saints.

00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:57.100
 I'm going to ask you

00:13:57.100 --> 00:13:58.220
 to be vulnerable

00:13:58.220 --> 00:13:59.779
 and let the words

00:13:59.779 --> 00:14:00.959
 of Jesus cut.

00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:02.900
 and let them

00:14:02.900 --> 00:14:04.200
 do their good work.

00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:07.780
 Because what he is

00:14:07.780 --> 00:14:08.540
 saying to us

00:14:08.540 --> 00:14:09.879
 is that is

00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:10.900
 not enough

00:14:10.900 --> 00:14:11.740
 to save us.

00:14:13.620 --> 00:14:14.540
 And that's not to say

00:14:14.540 --> 00:14:15.540
 what we believe

00:14:15.540 --> 00:14:16.259
 doesn't matter.

00:14:17.860 --> 00:14:19.040
 It's not to say

00:14:19.040 --> 00:14:20.900
 just throw all our theology

00:14:20.900 --> 00:14:21.500
 out the window.

00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:24.680
 But it is to say

00:14:24.680 --> 00:14:26.940
 that if we are resting

00:14:26.940 --> 00:14:28.480
 in and on that,

00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:30.639
 it will not save us.

00:14:31.539 --> 00:14:33.000
 We will be sorely

00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:33.639
 disappointed

00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:34.759
 on the last day

00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:35.840
 if that is our hope.

00:14:36.580 --> 00:14:37.639
 Jesus saves us.

00:14:39.680 --> 00:14:40.759
 Martin Lloyd-Jones,

00:14:41.659 --> 00:14:42.360
 as we wrap up

00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:44.820
 this first point,

00:14:45.060 --> 00:14:46.779
 says that orthodoxy,

00:14:48.019 --> 00:14:48.639
 that's right belief,

00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:49.779
 is absolutely vital

00:14:49.779 --> 00:14:50.399
 and essential.

00:14:51.259 --> 00:14:52.680
 Unless we believe

00:14:52.680 --> 00:14:54.100
 that Jesus of Nazareth

00:14:54.100 --> 00:14:55.180
 is indeed

00:14:55.180 --> 00:14:56.039
 the Son of God,

00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:57.080
 unless we recognize

00:14:57.080 --> 00:14:58.420
 him as the eternal Son,

00:14:59.100 --> 00:15:00.520
 substance of the eternal substance,

00:15:00.740 --> 00:15:01.360
 made flesh

00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:03.259
 and dwelling amongst us,

00:15:03.820 --> 00:15:04.900
 unless we believe

00:15:04.900 --> 00:15:06.100
 the New Testament doctrine

00:15:06.100 --> 00:15:07.360
 that he was sent by God

00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:08.280
 to be the Messiah,

00:15:08.860 --> 00:15:09.980
 the Savior of the world,

00:15:10.540 --> 00:15:11.520
 and that because of that

00:15:11.520 --> 00:15:12.379
 he has been exalted

00:15:12.379 --> 00:15:13.560
 and is Lord of all,

00:15:13.680 --> 00:15:14.480
 to whom every knee

00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:15.600
 shall eventually bow,

00:15:16.400 --> 00:15:17.780
 we are not Christian at all.

00:15:18.560 --> 00:15:20.080
 We must believe that.

00:15:21.060 --> 00:15:22.120
 To be a Christian

00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:23.160
 is a matter

00:15:23.160 --> 00:15:24.560
 of believing certain truths

00:15:24.560 --> 00:15:25.940
 concerning the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:15:25.940 --> 00:15:27.360
 In other words,

00:15:27.860 --> 00:15:29.080
 believing on him.

00:15:30.040 --> 00:15:30.940
 There's no such thing

00:15:30.940 --> 00:15:31.540
 as Christianity

00:15:31.540 --> 00:15:32.640
 apart from that.

00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:34.080
 To be a Christian

00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:35.440
 means that we rest

00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:37.000
 our entire case,

00:15:37.660 --> 00:15:38.820
 our whole salvation,

00:15:39.460 --> 00:15:41.240
 our whole eternal destiny,

00:15:41.800 --> 00:15:42.800
 entirely upon

00:15:42.800 --> 00:15:43.920
 the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:15:44.860 --> 00:15:46.040
 That is why

00:15:46.040 --> 00:15:46.940
 a true Christian

00:15:46.940 --> 00:15:47.700
 says,

00:15:48.460 --> 00:15:49.480
 Lord, Lord.

00:15:50.100 --> 00:15:51.040
 That is the content

00:15:51.040 --> 00:15:51.600
 of the statement.

00:15:52.680 --> 00:15:53.860
 It does not just mean

00:15:53.860 --> 00:15:55.639
 saying the right words.

00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:58.240
 It indicates that we mean

00:15:58.240 --> 00:15:59.159
 those things

00:15:59.159 --> 00:16:00.639
 when we say them.

00:16:01.740 --> 00:16:03.620
 It is not just saying

00:16:03.620 --> 00:16:04.680
 the right words.

00:16:05.560 --> 00:16:07.639
 It indicates that we mean

00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:08.919
 those things

00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:09.940
 when we say them.

00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:12.620
 Jesus shows us

00:16:12.620 --> 00:16:14.259
 that not through

00:16:14.259 --> 00:16:15.440
 right theology

00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.639
 that is the way

00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:19.340
 that we enter

00:16:19.340 --> 00:16:20.480
 the kingdom of heaven.

00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:21.460
 But secondly,

00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:22.519
 he shows us

00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:24.019
 that it is not

00:16:24.019 --> 00:16:25.500
 through right works.

00:16:26.620 --> 00:16:27.139
 And I think

00:16:27.139 --> 00:16:28.680
 this is the part

00:16:28.680 --> 00:16:29.440
 of these three verses

00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:31.300
 that are equally troubling

00:16:31.300 --> 00:16:32.800
 or more troubling

00:16:32.800 --> 00:16:33.940
 than those first words

00:16:33.940 --> 00:16:35.659
 because Jesus says this

00:16:35.659 --> 00:16:37.159
 in verse 22.

00:16:37.259 --> 00:16:37.659
 On that day,

00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:38.759
 many will say to me,

00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:39.980
 Lord, Lord,

00:16:41.180 --> 00:16:42.060
 did we not

00:16:42.060 --> 00:16:42.480
 prophesy

00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:43.960
 in your name

00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:46.600
 and cast out demons

00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:47.980
 in your name

00:16:47.980 --> 00:16:51.920
 and do many mighty works

00:16:51.920 --> 00:16:53.940
 in your name.

00:16:56.500 --> 00:16:58.879
 And you see this clause

00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:03.259
 in your name.

00:17:04.840 --> 00:17:06.799
 In your name.

00:17:07.340 --> 00:17:08.759
 It comes up three times.

00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:11.700
 And I think

00:17:11.700 --> 00:17:13.099
 that is terrifying.

00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:15.900
 That what Jesus

00:17:15.900 --> 00:17:16.900
 is communicating

00:17:16.900 --> 00:17:18.779
 is that there are

00:17:18.779 --> 00:17:19.779
 actually people

00:17:19.779 --> 00:17:22.039
 who are laboring

00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:23.180
 in his name

00:17:23.180 --> 00:17:27.099
 and don't know him.

00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:30.299
 That there are

00:17:30.299 --> 00:17:31.220
 actually people

00:17:31.220 --> 00:17:34.680
 who are serving him

00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:38.000
 and don't know him.

00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:41.359
 that if Jesus

00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:42.379
 were telling

00:17:42.379 --> 00:17:44.480
 this story

00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:45.460
 in light of

00:17:45.460 --> 00:17:47.220
 our day and age

00:17:47.220 --> 00:17:47.879
 and in light of

00:17:47.879 --> 00:17:48.619
 our culture

00:17:48.619 --> 00:17:50.779
 in specific terms,

00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:53.940
 that he wouldn't say

00:17:53.940 --> 00:17:55.539
 did we not

00:17:55.539 --> 00:17:56.259
 cast out demons

00:17:56.259 --> 00:17:56.799
 in your name

00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:58.039
 because we don't do that

00:17:58.039 --> 00:17:58.879
 in the Presbyterian church.

00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:00.339
 If you're in a Presbyterian church

00:18:00.339 --> 00:18:00.920
 that does that,

00:18:01.019 --> 00:18:01.220
 run.

00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:02.559
 So,

00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:05.339
 but what he might say

00:18:05.339 --> 00:18:08.220
 and the way

00:18:08.220 --> 00:18:08.819
 that he might

00:18:08.819 --> 00:18:09.379
 word this

00:18:09.379 --> 00:18:11.720
 is that

00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:12.599
 did we not

00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:14.559
 preach the word

00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:15.000
 of God

00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:15.579
 faithfully

00:18:15.579 --> 00:18:17.480
 in your name?

00:18:18.980 --> 00:18:19.939
 Did we not

00:18:19.939 --> 00:18:20.659
 worship you

00:18:20.659 --> 00:18:21.299
 faithfully

00:18:21.299 --> 00:18:22.399
 in your name?

00:18:22.459 --> 00:18:22.980
 Did we not

00:18:22.980 --> 00:18:23.939
 serve your church

00:18:23.939 --> 00:18:25.579
 in your name?

00:18:25.659 --> 00:18:26.220
 Did we not

00:18:26.220 --> 00:18:27.459
 give to the work

00:18:27.459 --> 00:18:28.279
 of your church?

00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:30.339
 Did we not

00:18:30.339 --> 00:18:31.339
 give our tithes

00:18:31.339 --> 00:18:31.899
 and offerings?

00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:32.559
 Did we not

00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:34.059
 baptize our children

00:18:34.059 --> 00:18:35.179
 in your name?

00:18:36.159 --> 00:18:36.859
 Did we not

00:18:36.859 --> 00:18:37.879
 love our spouse

00:18:37.879 --> 00:18:40.000
 in your name?

00:18:40.220 --> 00:18:40.740
 Did we not

00:18:40.740 --> 00:18:41.759
 do all those things

00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:43.859
 because we loved you?

00:18:46.879 --> 00:18:48.139
 And that is troubling

00:18:48.139 --> 00:18:49.960
 to see

00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:53.399
 that Jesus would say,

00:18:54.440 --> 00:18:55.279
 I don't

00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:56.039
 know you.

00:18:58.200 --> 00:18:59.220
 I don't

00:18:59.220 --> 00:18:59.819
 know you.

00:18:59.819 --> 00:19:02.079
 that even

00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:03.179
 as a minister

00:19:03.179 --> 00:19:04.000
 of the gospel

00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:05.960
 that I have

00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:07.039
 many times

00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:08.799
 where I

00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:09.539
 question

00:19:09.539 --> 00:19:10.399
 what in the

00:19:10.399 --> 00:19:11.019
 world am I

00:19:11.019 --> 00:19:11.439
 doing?

00:19:13.179 --> 00:19:13.559
 That God,

00:19:13.679 --> 00:19:14.460
 why in the

00:19:14.460 --> 00:19:15.059
 world would

00:19:15.059 --> 00:19:16.220
 I do

00:19:16.220 --> 00:19:17.000
 RUF

00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:18.879
 and have

00:19:18.879 --> 00:19:19.439
 to raise

00:19:19.439 --> 00:19:20.119
 support

00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:21.579
 and

00:19:21.579 --> 00:19:22.679
 labor

00:19:22.679 --> 00:19:23.159
 for the

00:19:23.159 --> 00:19:23.720
 good news

00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:24.019
 and the

00:19:24.019 --> 00:19:24.339
 kingdom

00:19:24.339 --> 00:19:25.379
 on the

00:19:25.379 --> 00:19:25.799
 campus

00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:26.439
 of Alabama

00:19:26.439 --> 00:19:27.019
 A&M?

00:19:27.019 --> 00:19:29.759
 and

00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:31.879
 I think

00:19:31.879 --> 00:19:32.559
 it's a foolish

00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:33.339
 way to live

00:19:33.339 --> 00:19:34.680
 if I'm

00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:35.460
 humanly speaking

00:19:35.460 --> 00:19:38.000
 that if I

00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:38.299
 would say

00:19:38.299 --> 00:19:38.859
 to God

00:19:38.859 --> 00:19:39.599
 was I

00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:40.019
 not

00:19:40.019 --> 00:19:41.099
 was I

00:19:41.099 --> 00:19:41.359
 not

00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:41.639
 doing

00:19:41.639 --> 00:19:42.019
 all that

00:19:42.019 --> 00:19:42.539
 for you

00:19:42.539 --> 00:19:45.119
 and to

00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:45.519
 think

00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:46.740
 that on

00:19:46.740 --> 00:19:47.180
 the last

00:19:47.180 --> 00:19:47.460
 day

00:19:47.460 --> 00:19:48.000
 Jesus

00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:48.680
 will look

00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:49.099
 at me

00:19:49.099 --> 00:19:49.700
 and say

00:19:49.700 --> 00:19:50.339
 I never

00:19:50.339 --> 00:19:50.579
 knew

00:19:50.579 --> 00:19:50.940
 you

00:19:50.940 --> 00:19:53.519
 that that

00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:53.819
 is

00:19:53.819 --> 00:19:55.059
 terrifying

00:19:55.059 --> 00:19:57.559
 that what

00:19:57.559 --> 00:19:58.079
 God is

00:19:58.079 --> 00:19:58.599
 asking

00:19:58.599 --> 00:19:59.299
 all of

00:19:59.299 --> 00:19:59.659
 us

00:19:59.659 --> 00:20:01.759
 is that

00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:03.039
 are you

00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:03.859
 sure it

00:20:03.859 --> 00:20:04.359
 is God

00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:04.679
 you are

00:20:04.679 --> 00:20:05.000
 serving?

00:20:07.879 --> 00:20:08.779
 Are you

00:20:08.779 --> 00:20:09.579
 sure that

00:20:09.579 --> 00:20:10.220
 you are

00:20:10.220 --> 00:20:11.059
 resting in

00:20:11.059 --> 00:20:11.500
 Christ

00:20:11.500 --> 00:20:13.599
 and not

00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:14.619
 in all

00:20:14.619 --> 00:20:15.039
 the stuff

00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:15.440
 that you

00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:15.879
 are doing

00:20:15.879 --> 00:20:16.319
 for God?

00:20:16.399 --> 00:20:16.720
 Are you

00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:17.079
 sure

00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:19.779
 that Jesus

00:20:19.779 --> 00:20:20.799
 wants to

00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:21.480
 show us

00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:23.179
 over and

00:20:23.179 --> 00:20:23.899
 over again

00:20:23.900 --> 00:20:24.940
 that he

00:20:24.940 --> 00:20:26.100
 alone

00:20:26.100 --> 00:20:27.160
 saves?

00:20:28.980 --> 00:20:29.840
 I had a

00:20:29.840 --> 00:20:30.800
 friend in

00:20:30.800 --> 00:20:31.519
 seminary who

00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:32.220
 went on to

00:20:32.220 --> 00:20:32.660
 be a church

00:20:32.660 --> 00:20:34.080
 planner who

00:20:34.080 --> 00:20:34.500
 in the

00:20:34.500 --> 00:20:35.000
 middle of

00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:35.440
 our preaching

00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:37.720
 class he

00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:38.280
 became a

00:20:38.280 --> 00:20:38.900
 Christian he

00:20:38.900 --> 00:20:39.420
 was converted

00:20:39.420 --> 00:20:39.940
 in the middle

00:20:39.940 --> 00:20:40.200
 of our

00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:40.420
 preaching

00:20:40.420 --> 00:20:41.680
 class and

00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:42.560
 for the

00:20:42.560 --> 00:20:42.900
 kids who

00:20:42.900 --> 00:20:43.259
 are here

00:20:43.259 --> 00:20:43.800
 and think

00:20:43.800 --> 00:20:44.259
 it's tough

00:20:44.259 --> 00:20:44.800
 to sit

00:20:44.800 --> 00:20:45.220
 through one

00:20:45.220 --> 00:20:45.519
 sermon

00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:46.900
 just imagine

00:20:46.900 --> 00:20:47.180
 being in

00:20:47.180 --> 00:20:47.620
 seminary and

00:20:47.620 --> 00:20:48.040
 listening to

00:20:48.040 --> 00:20:48.680
 five sermons

00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:49.240
 in a row

00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:50.280
 and that'll

00:20:50.280 --> 00:20:50.700
 give you

00:20:50.700 --> 00:20:51.400
 some

00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:52.080
 perspective

00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:53.679
 on just

00:20:53.679 --> 00:20:54.099
 long

00:20:54.099 --> 00:20:54.480
 suffering

00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:55.639
 but this

00:20:55.639 --> 00:20:57.879
 friend

00:20:57.879 --> 00:21:00.179
 was

00:21:00.179 --> 00:21:01.199
 you know

00:21:01.199 --> 00:21:01.419
 if you

00:21:01.419 --> 00:21:01.779
 had asked

00:21:01.779 --> 00:21:02.279
 me if

00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:02.500
 there was

00:21:02.500 --> 00:21:02.759
 anybody

00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:03.639
 who knew

00:21:03.639 --> 00:21:04.179
 God and

00:21:04.179 --> 00:21:04.759
 was faithful

00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:06.059
 and was

00:21:06.059 --> 00:21:06.500
 a Christian

00:21:06.500 --> 00:21:07.819
 I would

00:21:07.819 --> 00:21:08.139
 definitely

00:21:08.139 --> 00:21:08.639
 have said

00:21:08.639 --> 00:21:09.659
 before that

00:21:09.659 --> 00:21:10.659
 moment that

00:21:10.659 --> 00:21:11.220
 guy is

00:21:11.220 --> 00:21:11.819
 definitely a

00:21:11.819 --> 00:21:12.159
 Christian

00:21:12.159 --> 00:21:13.579
 that guy

00:21:13.579 --> 00:21:14.000
 definitely

00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:14.980
 gets what

00:21:14.980 --> 00:21:15.399
 it means

00:21:15.399 --> 00:21:16.139
 to walk

00:21:16.139 --> 00:21:16.819
 after God

00:21:16.819 --> 00:21:18.579
 and here

00:21:18.579 --> 00:21:18.980
 he was

00:21:18.980 --> 00:21:19.379
 in the middle

00:21:19.379 --> 00:21:19.599
 of this

00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:19.799
 preaching

00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:20.359
 class he's

00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:20.619
 standing

00:21:20.619 --> 00:21:21.279
 before us

00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:22.079
 and he

00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:22.439
 makes this

00:21:22.439 --> 00:21:22.819
 confession

00:21:22.819 --> 00:21:24.479
 hey I

00:21:24.479 --> 00:21:24.779
 don't know

00:21:24.779 --> 00:21:25.059
 if I'm

00:21:25.059 --> 00:21:25.379
 really a

00:21:25.379 --> 00:21:25.699
 Christian

00:21:25.699 --> 00:21:27.179
 in the

00:21:27.179 --> 00:21:27.639
 middle of

00:21:27.639 --> 00:21:28.139
 seminary

00:21:28.139 --> 00:21:29.299
 and today

00:21:29.299 --> 00:21:29.739
 I want

00:21:29.739 --> 00:21:30.699
 to accept

00:21:30.699 --> 00:21:32.259
 Jesus as

00:21:32.259 --> 00:21:32.659
 Lord of

00:21:32.659 --> 00:21:33.099
 my life

00:21:33.099 --> 00:21:33.439
 I want

00:21:33.439 --> 00:21:33.879
 to submit

00:21:33.879 --> 00:21:34.599
 myself to

00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:34.919
 him

00:21:34.919 --> 00:21:37.039
 and his

00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:37.899
 reasons for

00:21:37.899 --> 00:21:38.939
 not coming

00:21:38.939 --> 00:21:40.579
 to Christ

00:21:40.579 --> 00:21:41.079
 earlier

00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:42.379
 was that

00:21:42.379 --> 00:21:43.439
 he had

00:21:43.439 --> 00:21:44.359
 already been

00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:44.739
 in youth

00:21:44.739 --> 00:21:45.079
 ministry

00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:45.399
 he had

00:21:45.399 --> 00:21:45.959
 already been

00:21:45.959 --> 00:21:46.799
 involved in

00:21:46.799 --> 00:21:47.099
 the ministry

00:21:47.099 --> 00:21:47.719
 of the church

00:21:47.719 --> 00:21:49.799
 and he

00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:50.119
 had heard

00:21:50.119 --> 00:21:50.579
 the gospel

00:21:50.579 --> 00:21:51.179
 preached at

00:21:51.179 --> 00:21:51.459
 a youth

00:21:51.459 --> 00:21:51.899
 conference

00:21:51.899 --> 00:21:52.879
 and was

00:21:52.879 --> 00:21:53.939
 deeply moved

00:21:53.939 --> 00:21:54.759
 to confess

00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:55.279
 his sin

00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:56.079
 and turn

00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:56.519
 to God

00:21:56.519 --> 00:21:57.079
 and yet

00:21:57.079 --> 00:21:58.119
 out of

00:21:58.119 --> 00:21:58.599
 shame

00:21:58.599 --> 00:22:00.259
 he didn't

00:22:00.259 --> 00:22:00.679
 because

00:22:00.679 --> 00:22:01.859
 who wants

00:22:01.859 --> 00:22:02.299
 to be

00:22:02.299 --> 00:22:02.799
 the youth

00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:03.199
 minister

00:22:03.199 --> 00:22:04.319
 who goes

00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:04.579
 to a

00:22:04.579 --> 00:22:04.899
 conference

00:22:04.899 --> 00:22:05.279
 and gets

00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:05.659
 converted

00:22:05.659 --> 00:22:08.279
 and he

00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:08.779
 shared that

00:22:08.779 --> 00:22:09.339
 with us

00:22:09.339 --> 00:22:11.839
 that he

00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:12.159
 needed

00:22:12.159 --> 00:22:12.539
 Jesus

00:22:12.539 --> 00:22:14.559
 and he

00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:14.979
 trusted

00:22:14.979 --> 00:22:15.500
 Jesus

00:22:15.500 --> 00:22:17.559
 and I

00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:18.039
 think it

00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:19.119
 is better

00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:21.619
 that he

00:22:21.619 --> 00:22:22.859
 stood

00:22:22.859 --> 00:22:23.539
 before us

00:22:23.539 --> 00:22:24.180
 that day

00:22:24.180 --> 00:22:25.700
 some years

00:22:25.700 --> 00:22:26.039
 ago

00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:26.960
 and confessed

00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:27.539
 Christ as

00:22:27.539 --> 00:22:27.839
 Lord

00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:29.599
 than for

00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:30.039
 him

00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:31.180
 to wait

00:22:31.180 --> 00:22:31.579
 at the

00:22:31.579 --> 00:22:32.220
 last day

00:22:32.220 --> 00:22:34.119
 and have

00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:34.779
 Jesus say

00:22:34.779 --> 00:22:35.220
 to him

00:22:35.220 --> 00:22:37.359
 I never

00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:38.079
 knew you

00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:40.140
 depart from

00:22:40.140 --> 00:22:40.859
 me you

00:22:40.859 --> 00:22:41.559
 worker of

00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:42.019
 lawlessness

00:22:42.019 --> 00:22:45.240
 that what

00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:46.220
 God wants

00:22:46.220 --> 00:22:47.480
 you and

00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:48.299
 me to

00:22:48.299 --> 00:22:48.599
 do

00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:49.859
 is to

00:22:49.859 --> 00:22:50.299
 consider

00:22:50.299 --> 00:22:51.119
 our hearts

00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:52.859
 consider

00:22:52.859 --> 00:22:53.579
 what it

00:22:53.579 --> 00:22:53.980
 is

00:22:53.980 --> 00:22:56.119
 we think

00:22:56.119 --> 00:22:56.559
 makes us

00:22:56.559 --> 00:22:56.980
 right with

00:22:56.980 --> 00:22:57.359
 God

00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:00.139
 and if it

00:23:00.139 --> 00:23:00.700
 is anything

00:23:00.700 --> 00:23:01.440
 other than

00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:02.019
 Jesus

00:23:02.019 --> 00:23:02.839
 himself

00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:05.039
 then it

00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:05.559
 will fail

00:23:05.559 --> 00:23:05.960
 us at

00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:06.279
 the last

00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:06.539
 day

00:23:06.539 --> 00:23:09.660
 and that's

00:23:09.660 --> 00:23:10.139
 where Jesus

00:23:10.139 --> 00:23:11.099
 takes us

00:23:11.099 --> 00:23:11.519
 finally

00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:12.220
 in these

00:23:12.220 --> 00:23:12.720
 three verses

00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:14.879
 that

00:23:14.879 --> 00:23:16.460
 in verse

00:23:16.460 --> 00:23:16.859
 21

00:23:16.859 --> 00:23:17.839
 he says

00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:18.400
 to us

00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:19.539
 and not

00:23:19.539 --> 00:23:19.940
 everyone

00:23:19.940 --> 00:23:20.440
 who says

00:23:20.440 --> 00:23:20.900
 to me

00:23:20.900 --> 00:23:21.480
 Lord

00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:21.900
 Lord

00:23:21.900 --> 00:23:23.400
 will enter

00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:23.799
 the kingdom

00:23:23.799 --> 00:23:24.339
 of heaven

00:23:24.339 --> 00:23:25.619
 but the

00:23:25.619 --> 00:23:26.420
 one who

00:23:26.420 --> 00:23:26.779
 does the

00:23:26.779 --> 00:23:27.379
 will of

00:23:27.379 --> 00:23:27.920
 my father

00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:28.920
 who is

00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:29.379
 in heaven

00:23:29.379 --> 00:23:31.160
 and

00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:33.000
 that last

00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:34.319
 clause

00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:34.819
 where he

00:23:34.819 --> 00:23:35.279
 says but

00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:35.859
 the one

00:23:35.859 --> 00:23:36.559
 who does

00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:37.319
 the will

00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:37.700
 of my

00:23:37.700 --> 00:23:38.200
 father in

00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:38.440
 heaven

00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:39.799
 we've

00:23:39.799 --> 00:23:40.299
 just seen

00:23:40.299 --> 00:23:40.619
 that it's

00:23:40.619 --> 00:23:41.039
 not a

00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:41.559
 matter of

00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:42.559
 just doing

00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:42.899
 the right

00:23:42.899 --> 00:23:43.480
 things before

00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:43.879
 God

00:23:43.879 --> 00:23:46.200
 and so

00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:46.720
 it must

00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:47.319
 mean something

00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:47.680
 else

00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:49.399
 and in a

00:23:49.399 --> 00:23:50.180
 passage that

00:23:50.180 --> 00:23:50.819
 I think is

00:23:50.819 --> 00:23:51.960
 strikingly

00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:52.599
 similar to

00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:53.339
 this passage

00:23:53.339 --> 00:23:54.759
 is John

00:23:54.759 --> 00:23:55.440
 6 you can

00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:55.839
 turn there

00:23:55.839 --> 00:23:56.200
 if you want

00:23:56.200 --> 00:23:56.619
 to but if

00:23:56.619 --> 00:23:56.960
 not I'll

00:23:56.960 --> 00:23:57.200
 read it

00:23:57.200 --> 00:23:57.599
 for you

00:23:57.599 --> 00:23:58.819
 but in

00:23:58.819 --> 00:23:59.420
 John 6

00:23:59.420 --> 00:24:00.279
 Jesus is

00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:00.920
 again

00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:02.299
 teaching his

00:24:02.299 --> 00:24:03.359
 disciples what

00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:03.940
 it means to

00:24:03.940 --> 00:24:04.579
 follow him

00:24:04.579 --> 00:24:06.019
 what it means

00:24:06.019 --> 00:24:06.859
 to trust him

00:24:06.859 --> 00:24:08.379
 and the

00:24:08.379 --> 00:24:09.019
 reality of

00:24:09.019 --> 00:24:09.759
 it being a

00:24:09.759 --> 00:24:10.359
 very hard

00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:10.679
 thing

00:24:10.679 --> 00:24:12.599
 the reality

00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:13.319
 of it being

00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:14.279
 that kingdom

00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:15.679
 life is

00:24:15.679 --> 00:24:16.079
 hard

00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:17.919
 and in

00:24:17.919 --> 00:24:18.719
 John 6

00:24:18.719 --> 00:24:20.279
 in verse

00:24:20.279 --> 00:24:21.899
 verses 28

00:24:21.899 --> 00:24:23.179
 and 29

00:24:23.179 --> 00:24:24.000
 his disciples

00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:24.979
 ask him

00:24:24.979 --> 00:24:25.639
 this question

00:24:25.639 --> 00:24:27.359
 what must

00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:27.939
 we do

00:24:27.939 --> 00:24:29.899
 to be doing

00:24:29.899 --> 00:24:30.819
 the works

00:24:30.819 --> 00:24:31.379
 of God

00:24:31.379 --> 00:24:33.539
 what must

00:24:33.539 --> 00:24:34.179
 we do to

00:24:34.179 --> 00:24:34.699
 be doing

00:24:34.700 --> 00:24:35.319
 the works

00:24:35.319 --> 00:24:35.720
 of God

00:24:35.720 --> 00:24:36.840
 and this

00:24:36.840 --> 00:24:37.160
 is the way

00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:37.900
 Jesus responds

00:24:37.900 --> 00:24:38.220
 to them

00:24:38.220 --> 00:24:38.960
 in verse 29

00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:41.539
 Jesus answered

00:24:41.539 --> 00:24:41.860
 them

00:24:41.860 --> 00:24:43.559
 this is the

00:24:43.559 --> 00:24:44.360
 work of God

00:24:44.360 --> 00:24:45.940
 that you

00:24:45.940 --> 00:24:46.920
 believe in

00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:47.340
 him

00:24:47.340 --> 00:24:49.019
 whom he

00:24:49.019 --> 00:24:49.580
 has sent

00:24:49.580 --> 00:24:51.860
 this is

00:24:51.860 --> 00:24:52.440
 the work

00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:53.220
 of God

00:24:53.220 --> 00:24:55.500
 that you

00:24:55.500 --> 00:24:56.880
 and I

00:24:56.880 --> 00:24:57.860
 believe

00:24:57.860 --> 00:24:58.960
 in him

00:24:58.960 --> 00:24:59.759
 whom he

00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:00.259
 has sent

00:25:00.259 --> 00:25:03.140
 that God

00:25:03.140 --> 00:25:03.940
 has set

00:25:03.940 --> 00:25:04.640
 his seal

00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:05.420
 upon his

00:25:05.420 --> 00:25:05.759
 son

00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:06.740
 Jesus

00:25:06.740 --> 00:25:09.300
 that God's

00:25:09.300 --> 00:25:09.960
 will for

00:25:09.960 --> 00:25:10.780
 your life

00:25:10.780 --> 00:25:11.380
 and my

00:25:11.380 --> 00:25:11.800
 life

00:25:11.800 --> 00:25:12.780
 is that

00:25:12.780 --> 00:25:13.440
 we would

00:25:13.440 --> 00:25:13.940
 believe

00:25:13.940 --> 00:25:14.920
 and rest

00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:15.920
 in the

00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:16.740
 person

00:25:16.740 --> 00:25:17.500
 and work

00:25:17.500 --> 00:25:18.200
 of Jesus

00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:21.440
 that you

00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:22.060
 and I

00:25:22.060 --> 00:25:23.140
 would know

00:25:23.140 --> 00:25:25.180
 that

00:25:25.180 --> 00:25:26.740
 the good

00:25:26.740 --> 00:25:27.140
 news

00:25:27.140 --> 00:25:27.960
 is really

00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:28.380
 good

00:25:28.380 --> 00:25:30.560
 that Jesus

00:25:30.560 --> 00:25:31.520
 really

00:25:31.520 --> 00:25:32.720
 paid for

00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:33.180
 our sin

00:25:33.180 --> 00:25:34.420
 that Jesus

00:25:34.420 --> 00:25:35.200
 really

00:25:35.200 --> 00:25:36.160
 makes us

00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:36.620
 righteous

00:25:36.620 --> 00:25:37.880
 that Jesus

00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:38.799
 is enough

00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:39.360
 for us

00:25:39.360 --> 00:25:43.259
 and what

00:25:43.259 --> 00:25:44.000
 that does

00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:44.900
 whenever the

00:25:44.900 --> 00:25:45.580
 Bible talks

00:25:45.580 --> 00:25:46.320
 about belief

00:25:46.320 --> 00:25:48.600
 it is not

00:25:48.600 --> 00:25:49.019
 just

00:25:49.019 --> 00:25:50.640
 these cognitive

00:25:50.640 --> 00:25:51.299
 things

00:25:51.299 --> 00:25:52.799
 or these

00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:53.779
 rational things

00:25:53.779 --> 00:25:54.759
 but it always

00:25:54.759 --> 00:25:55.500
 is wedded

00:25:55.500 --> 00:25:55.860
 with

00:25:55.860 --> 00:25:57.440
 action

00:25:57.440 --> 00:25:59.660
 that what

00:25:59.660 --> 00:26:00.180
 we think

00:26:00.180 --> 00:26:00.940
 about God

00:26:00.940 --> 00:26:01.759
 influences

00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:02.279
 what we

00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:02.519
 do

00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:02.940
 what we

00:26:02.940 --> 00:26:03.259
 think

00:26:03.259 --> 00:26:03.620
 about

00:26:03.620 --> 00:26:04.140
 Jesus

00:26:04.140 --> 00:26:05.320
 influences

00:26:05.320 --> 00:26:07.120
 all of

00:26:07.120 --> 00:26:07.259
 our

00:26:07.259 --> 00:26:07.580
 living

00:26:07.580 --> 00:26:10.600
 and because

00:26:10.600 --> 00:26:11.180
 you and

00:26:11.180 --> 00:26:12.120
 I believe

00:26:12.120 --> 00:26:12.920
 in Jesus

00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:15.039
 then it

00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:15.779
 should affect

00:26:15.779 --> 00:26:17.880
 how we

00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:18.320
 think about

00:26:18.320 --> 00:26:18.559
 him

00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:20.200
 that we

00:26:20.200 --> 00:26:20.940
 should study

00:26:20.940 --> 00:26:21.779
 God's word

00:26:21.779 --> 00:26:22.320
 more

00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:24.639
 that we

00:26:24.639 --> 00:26:25.220
 might think

00:26:25.220 --> 00:26:25.599
 rightly

00:26:25.599 --> 00:26:26.339
 about God

00:26:26.339 --> 00:26:26.939
 that our

00:26:26.939 --> 00:26:27.419
 theology

00:26:27.419 --> 00:26:28.740
 might be

00:26:28.740 --> 00:26:29.299
 good and

00:26:29.299 --> 00:26:29.939
 helpful and

00:26:29.939 --> 00:26:31.039
 true of

00:26:31.039 --> 00:26:31.339
 the way

00:26:31.339 --> 00:26:31.819
 God

00:26:31.819 --> 00:26:32.799
 declares

00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:33.439
 and shows

00:26:33.439 --> 00:26:33.980
 himself to

00:26:33.980 --> 00:26:34.220
 be

00:26:34.220 --> 00:26:36.799
 that our

00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:37.319
 actions

00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:38.439
 should be

00:26:38.439 --> 00:26:39.079
 influenced

00:26:39.079 --> 00:26:40.139
 by Christ

00:26:40.139 --> 00:26:41.220
 and what

00:26:41.220 --> 00:26:41.679
 he has

00:26:41.679 --> 00:26:42.139
 done for

00:26:42.139 --> 00:26:42.460
 us

00:26:42.460 --> 00:26:45.359
 and that's

00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:46.559
 a subtle

00:26:46.559 --> 00:26:47.159
 difference

00:26:47.159 --> 00:26:48.399
 but a

00:26:48.399 --> 00:26:48.819
 significant

00:26:48.819 --> 00:26:49.319
 one

00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:50.759
 in this

00:26:50.759 --> 00:26:52.099
 that you

00:26:52.099 --> 00:26:52.779
 know that

00:26:52.779 --> 00:26:53.259
 your right

00:26:53.259 --> 00:26:53.720
 theology

00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:54.519
 and your

00:26:54.519 --> 00:26:55.079
 works are

00:26:55.079 --> 00:26:55.379
 not the

00:26:55.379 --> 00:26:55.779
 things that

00:26:55.779 --> 00:26:56.299
 save you

00:26:56.299 --> 00:26:57.240
 but Jesus

00:26:57.240 --> 00:26:58.079
 himself is

00:26:58.079 --> 00:26:58.379
 the one

00:26:58.379 --> 00:26:58.879
 that saves

00:26:58.879 --> 00:26:59.119
 you

00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:01.399
 that he

00:27:01.399 --> 00:27:01.919
 is the

00:27:01.919 --> 00:27:03.139
 one who

00:27:03.139 --> 00:27:03.659
 has come

00:27:03.659 --> 00:27:04.279
 to us

00:27:04.279 --> 00:27:05.259
 and this

00:27:05.259 --> 00:27:05.879
 is all

00:27:05.879 --> 00:27:06.500
 by his

00:27:06.500 --> 00:27:06.919
 grace

00:27:06.919 --> 00:27:08.700
 not because

00:27:08.700 --> 00:27:09.139
 you and I

00:27:09.139 --> 00:27:09.839
 deserved it

00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:10.460
 but he

00:27:10.460 --> 00:27:10.859
 has come

00:27:10.859 --> 00:27:11.319
 to us

00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:12.299
 by his

00:27:12.299 --> 00:27:12.720
 grace

00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:14.039
 and given

00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:14.519
 us the

00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:14.819
 kingdom

00:27:14.819 --> 00:27:16.559
 and given

00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:17.460
 us everything

00:27:17.460 --> 00:27:18.159
 we need

00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:19.600
 to honor

00:27:19.600 --> 00:27:20.040
 him in

00:27:20.040 --> 00:27:20.660
 our thoughts

00:27:20.660 --> 00:27:21.400
 in our

00:27:21.400 --> 00:27:21.800
 words

00:27:21.800 --> 00:27:22.300
 in our

00:27:22.300 --> 00:27:22.720
 deeds

00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:25.759
 that God

00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:26.420
 has made

00:27:26.420 --> 00:27:27.759
 us daughters

00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:28.740
 and sons

00:27:28.740 --> 00:27:30.680
 that God

00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:31.880
 really loves

00:27:31.880 --> 00:27:32.300
 us

00:27:32.300 --> 00:27:34.560
 and he

00:27:34.560 --> 00:27:35.000
 has done

00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:35.800
 that through

00:27:35.800 --> 00:27:36.540
 Jesus

00:27:36.540 --> 00:27:37.580
 and Jesus

00:27:37.580 --> 00:27:38.140
 alone

00:27:38.140 --> 00:27:42.120
 and that's

00:27:42.120 --> 00:27:42.519
 what Jesus

00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:43.019
 is showing

00:27:43.019 --> 00:27:43.360
 us

00:27:43.360 --> 00:27:44.840
 that this

00:27:44.840 --> 00:27:45.300
 is how

00:27:45.300 --> 00:27:45.660
 you get

00:27:45.660 --> 00:27:45.940
 in

00:27:45.940 --> 00:27:47.600
 this

00:27:47.600 --> 00:27:48.080
 is how

00:27:48.080 --> 00:27:48.680
 you enter

00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:48.960
 my

00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:49.360
 kingdom

00:27:49.360 --> 00:27:51.380
 it is

00:27:51.380 --> 00:27:51.740
 through

00:27:51.740 --> 00:27:52.279
 me

00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:54.460
 it is

00:27:54.460 --> 00:27:55.000
 reason

00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:55.799
 why

00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:56.620
 heaven

00:27:56.620 --> 00:27:57.120
 won't be

00:27:57.120 --> 00:27:57.400
 just

00:27:57.400 --> 00:27:58.160
 Presbyterians

00:27:58.160 --> 00:27:59.299
 sorry if

00:27:59.299 --> 00:27:59.580
 that's

00:27:59.580 --> 00:28:00.220
 big news

00:28:00.220 --> 00:28:00.539
 to you

00:28:00.539 --> 00:28:01.019
 or shocking

00:28:01.019 --> 00:28:01.400
 news to

00:28:01.400 --> 00:28:01.640
 you

00:28:01.640 --> 00:28:03.440
 but it's

00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:03.680
 because

00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:04.019
 Jesus

00:28:04.019 --> 00:28:04.380
 really

00:28:04.380 --> 00:28:04.880
 saves

00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:08.539
 as we

00:28:08.539 --> 00:28:09.140
 wrap up

00:28:09.140 --> 00:28:09.500
 our sermon

00:28:09.500 --> 00:28:09.799
 I want

00:28:09.799 --> 00:28:10.320
 to close

00:28:10.320 --> 00:28:10.680
 with

00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:12.680
 this quote

00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:13.100
 from

00:28:13.100 --> 00:28:13.880
 Alec

00:28:13.880 --> 00:28:14.360
 Motier

00:28:14.360 --> 00:28:14.779
 and he

00:28:14.779 --> 00:28:15.080
 says

00:28:15.080 --> 00:28:15.460
 this

00:28:15.460 --> 00:28:17.259
 the grace

00:28:17.259 --> 00:28:18.420
 has made

00:28:18.420 --> 00:28:19.039
 them citizens

00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:20.000
 of a heavenly

00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:20.519
 city

00:28:20.519 --> 00:28:22.220
 in their

00:28:22.220 --> 00:28:22.740
 far off

00:28:22.740 --> 00:28:23.120
 land

00:28:23.120 --> 00:28:24.080
 they are

00:28:24.080 --> 00:28:24.580
 the heavenly

00:28:24.580 --> 00:28:25.140
 homeland

00:28:25.140 --> 00:28:25.759
 in miniature

00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:27.620
 heaven's laws

00:28:27.620 --> 00:28:28.019
 are their

00:28:28.019 --> 00:28:28.360
 laws

00:28:28.360 --> 00:28:28.680
 and their

00:28:28.680 --> 00:28:29.100
 privileges

00:28:29.100 --> 00:28:30.019
 its privileges

00:28:30.019 --> 00:28:31.640
 the life

00:28:31.640 --> 00:28:32.160
 worthy of the

00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:32.519
 gospel

00:28:32.519 --> 00:28:33.160
 is an

00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:34.039
 inescapable

00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:34.620
 obligation

00:28:34.620 --> 00:28:36.060
 it is the

00:28:36.060 --> 00:28:36.440
 essence

00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:36.900
 of the

00:28:36.900 --> 00:28:37.420
 homeland

00:28:37.420 --> 00:28:38.440
 where the

00:28:38.440 --> 00:28:38.680
 lamb

00:28:38.680 --> 00:28:39.160
 standing

00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:39.900
 as though

00:28:39.900 --> 00:28:40.100
 it had

00:28:40.100 --> 00:28:40.820
 been slain

00:28:40.819 --> 00:28:42.539
 forms the

00:28:42.539 --> 00:28:43.240
 focal point

00:28:43.240 --> 00:28:44.339
 of all

00:28:44.339 --> 00:28:45.059
 life

00:28:45.059 --> 00:28:47.039
 that the

00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:47.399
 work

00:28:47.399 --> 00:28:48.679
 the person

00:28:48.679 --> 00:28:49.279
 of Jesus

00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:50.899
 informs

00:28:50.899 --> 00:28:52.099
 all of our

00:28:52.099 --> 00:28:52.519
 lives

00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:54.539
 and that

00:28:54.539 --> 00:28:55.179
 is my

00:28:55.179 --> 00:28:55.500
 hope

00:28:55.500 --> 00:28:56.119
 that is

00:28:56.119 --> 00:28:56.480
 your

00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:56.839
 hope

00:28:56.839 --> 00:28:59.000
 that Jesus

00:28:59.000 --> 00:28:59.639
 gives us

00:28:59.639 --> 00:29:00.299
 these hard

00:29:00.299 --> 00:29:00.679
 words

00:29:00.679 --> 00:29:01.099
 that we

00:29:01.099 --> 00:29:01.960
 might again

00:29:01.960 --> 00:29:03.339
 come back

00:29:03.339 --> 00:29:04.259
 to him

00:29:04.259 --> 00:29:05.339
 and rest

00:29:05.339 --> 00:29:06.019
 in him

00:29:06.019 --> 00:29:06.740
 and trust

00:29:06.740 --> 00:29:07.059
 him

00:29:07.059 --> 00:29:08.839
 that the

00:29:08.839 --> 00:29:09.200
 work of

00:29:09.200 --> 00:29:09.619
 God is

00:29:09.619 --> 00:29:10.159
 that you

00:29:10.159 --> 00:29:10.579
 and I

00:29:10.579 --> 00:29:11.319
 believe

00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:12.859
 in Jesus

00:29:12.859 --> 00:29:14.000
 whom he

00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:14.439
 has sent

00:29:14.439 --> 00:29:15.039
 for us

00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:16.579
 let's pray

00:29:16.579 --> 00:29:23.599
 father we

00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:24.599
 we confess

00:29:24.599 --> 00:29:25.579
 the many

00:29:25.579 --> 00:29:26.079
 ways

00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:30.539
 that we

00:29:30.539 --> 00:29:32.699
 would love

00:29:32.699 --> 00:29:33.399
 to get

00:29:33.399 --> 00:29:33.919
 beyond

00:29:33.919 --> 00:29:35.339
 our need

00:29:35.339 --> 00:29:35.879
 for grace

00:29:35.879 --> 00:29:37.819
 our need

00:29:37.819 --> 00:29:38.559
 for Jesus

00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:39.559
 we

00:29:39.559 --> 00:29:42.500
 we

00:29:42.500 --> 00:29:43.059
 confess

00:29:43.059 --> 00:29:47.879
 that

00:29:47.879 --> 00:29:48.159
 many

00:29:48.159 --> 00:29:48.579
 times

00:29:48.579 --> 00:29:48.899
 we

00:29:48.899 --> 00:29:49.240
 we

00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:49.539
 don't

00:29:49.539 --> 00:29:49.740
 think

00:29:49.740 --> 00:29:50.059
 Jesus

00:29:50.059 --> 00:29:50.279
 is

00:29:50.279 --> 00:29:50.619
 enough

00:29:50.619 --> 00:29:54.440
 we

00:29:54.440 --> 00:29:55.399
 find

00:29:55.399 --> 00:29:56.460
 or we

00:29:56.460 --> 00:29:56.759
 think

00:29:56.759 --> 00:29:57.359
 that Jesus

00:29:57.359 --> 00:29:58.220
 is lacking

00:29:58.220 --> 00:29:59.139
 that our

00:29:59.139 --> 00:29:59.639
 salvation

00:29:59.639 --> 00:30:00.299
 is lacking

00:30:00.299 --> 00:30:04.059
 and we

00:30:04.059 --> 00:30:04.619
 we ask

00:30:04.619 --> 00:30:04.940
 that you

00:30:04.940 --> 00:30:05.279
 would forgive

00:30:05.279 --> 00:30:05.619
 us for

00:30:05.619 --> 00:30:05.879
 that

00:30:05.879 --> 00:30:08.519
 we ask

00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:08.980
 that you

00:30:08.980 --> 00:30:09.379
 would help

00:30:09.379 --> 00:30:09.779
 us

00:30:09.779 --> 00:30:11.940
 to treasure

00:30:11.940 --> 00:30:12.799
 our savior

00:30:12.799 --> 00:30:16.480
 to prize

00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:16.919
 him

00:30:16.919 --> 00:30:17.460
 highly

00:30:17.460 --> 00:30:20.579
 to love

00:30:20.579 --> 00:30:21.220
 him more

00:30:21.220 --> 00:30:24.559
 we thank

00:30:24.559 --> 00:30:24.860
 you

00:30:24.860 --> 00:30:25.559
 that you

00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:26.079
 speak to

00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:26.299
 us

00:30:26.299 --> 00:30:26.480
 through

00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:26.900
 your word

00:30:26.900 --> 00:30:27.339
 we thank

00:30:27.339 --> 00:30:27.660
 you

00:30:27.660 --> 00:30:30.539
 that you

00:30:30.539 --> 00:30:31.000
 continue

00:30:31.000 --> 00:30:31.700
 to

00:30:31.700 --> 00:30:33.799
 build us

00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:34.000
 up

00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:34.460
 and encourage

00:30:34.460 --> 00:30:34.880
 us

00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:36.019
 and make

00:30:36.019 --> 00:30:36.420
 us more

00:30:36.420 --> 00:30:36.920
 like him

00:30:36.920 --> 00:30:39.779
 and

00:30:39.779 --> 00:30:42.240
 we pray

00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:42.560
 that it

00:30:42.560 --> 00:30:42.900
 would never

00:30:42.900 --> 00:30:43.380
 be said

00:30:43.380 --> 00:30:43.840
 of us

00:30:43.840 --> 00:30:44.740
 at the

00:30:44.740 --> 00:30:45.380
 last day

00:30:45.380 --> 00:30:47.800

00:30:47.800 --> 00:30:49.240
 Jesus

00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:49.820
 you don't

00:30:49.820 --> 00:30:50.320
 know us

00:30:50.320 --> 00:30:53.220
 we pray

00:30:53.220 --> 00:30:53.539
 that it

00:30:53.539 --> 00:30:53.800
 would be

00:30:53.800 --> 00:30:54.160
 said of
