WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:12.380
 What a time of worship.

00:00:13.980 --> 00:00:21.660
 As we've come this morning, really at the feet of the cross, as we've come to behold our

00:00:21.660 --> 00:00:21.660


00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:39.240
 At least there should be. The reality of knowing Christ, seeing Him for who He is, really should

00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:45.219
 lead us to what we have just done, and that is worship.

00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:57.100
 Several months ago, I was driving home from Illinois with my family, and we were about

00:00:57.100 --> 00:01:03.160
 the Lafayette area. We were coming from Illinois down to southern Ohio, and we were making

00:01:03.160 --> 00:01:09.140
 our way, and there was major construction there right there in Lafayette. And of course,

00:01:09.260 --> 00:01:15.680
 my GPS is telling me to get off. It kind of foresees the impending construction issues,

00:01:15.859 --> 00:01:25.140
 and it encouraged me to get off. I said, get off. Hey, I'll be fine. I can handle a little

00:01:25.140 --> 00:01:31.840
 bit of a delay. No problem. So I passed the exit, and you kind of think, well, is it just

00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:35.799
 asking me to get off so I can get back on? I'm kind of short-cutting the system, kind

00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:40.560
 of cutting in line. I don't want to be one of those people, and in my heart, I'm spurning

00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:45.200
 all the people who are getting off and thinking, there they are. They're just cutting in line,

00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:57.560
 those cheaters. And so I drive another hundred yards, and it takes me ten minutes, and I get

00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:05.060
 to this little turnaround spot. You know, the one where it says, do not U-turn? And I'm thinking

00:02:05.060 --> 00:02:11.939
 to myself, here's my opportunity. The crossroads, you know, this is an opportunity for me to kind

00:02:11.939 --> 00:02:16.960
 shortcut the system to turn around and do what I was encouraged to do a hundred yards

00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:23.879
 ago, ten minutes ago, but traffic seemed to be picking up, and I'm like, okay, I can handle

00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:34.319
 this. It's okay. I'll just keep moving. A hundred yards later, ten more minutes, and I am absolutely

00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:40.680
 kicking myself. What in the world was I thinking? And I noticed that they actually took the sign

00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:45.960
 down, that was said, no U-turn right there, because they anticipated that people would do

00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:50.540
 that, and they were actually kind of giving them permission. And so the regret, you're like,

00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:59.180
 ah! And thirty minutes later, I've only gone about 200 yards. It just, this is going to take

00:02:59.180 --> 00:03:03.060
 forever. This is already the middle of a trip, and I've already got four more hours to go.

00:03:03.060 --> 00:03:14.099
 I can't afford an hour delay here in Lafayette. You ever been in crossroads of life? You ever

00:03:14.099 --> 00:03:24.819
 been at those points of decision in life, and you look back on those points of decision, those

00:03:24.819 --> 00:03:32.340
 intersections of life, and you think, boy, I sure wish I would have made a different decision.

00:03:32.340 --> 00:03:38.360
 Or maybe you look back on those crossroads, and you say, praise you, Lord, for helping

00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:47.219
 to make the right decision. Well, in our passage in John chapter 10 this morning, we come to

00:03:47.219 --> 00:03:56.960
 one of those crossroads, one of those intersections of life, one of those points of decision, those

00:03:56.960 --> 00:04:04.379
 points of meeting, those watershed moments of life where we are called to make a decision,

00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:12.980
 what will you do with this? And here, Jesus is answering a challenge, as we will find in

00:04:12.980 --> 00:04:20.019
 our passage this morning, John chapter 10, beginning in verse 22. There's a challenge that's coming

00:04:20.019 --> 00:04:27.899
 from the Jews, this group of religious leaders, and they're challenging Jesus. Make it plain,

00:04:28.039 --> 00:04:37.680
 Jesus. Tell us once and for all, in clear speech, who you really are. And what we'll find this

00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:47.079
 morning is we'll find Jesus helping to definitively and clearly tell them, once and for all, here is who I am.

00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:58.639
 What will you do with me? We're all faced with that same crossroad today. As we're going to come and

00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:06.680
 hopefully this morning look at 10 characteristics that we'll see in just these 12 verses, 10 characteristics

00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:15.759
 of Christ that help us to understand definitively that He is the Messiah, that He is the one who came

00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:22.800
 as not only a representative from God to fulfill the work of God, but that He is God in the flesh.

00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:31.420
 He has come to carry out the work of God on the earth. Now, some have said that less is more.

00:05:33.139 --> 00:05:38.480
 And this morning, I'm going to try to go against that and say more is better.

00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:50.860
 So this could be an absolute fail, but my hope is, my prayer is that as I give you more to process,

00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:57.879
 that you'll be able to just together marvel at the wonder of our God.

00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:06.980
 So what I'm going to do is we've got 18 slides this morning. And if any of you are feeling frustrated,

00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:13.920
 like I can't keep up and there's too many references, what I've done is I've got a half sheet here

00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:18.980
 that I can give to anybody at the end of the service so you don't get frustrated. They have all the

00:06:18.980 --> 00:06:26.000
 passages and all the fill in the blanks right here, okay? So hopefully more is better, not less is more.

00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:38.620
 But we have a challenge before us this morning. In just 12 verses that are so packed with theological

00:06:38.620 --> 00:06:46.620
 content, we could spend months developing any number of 10 or 11 different theological themes.

00:06:47.459 --> 00:06:52.160
 We could talk about the inerrancy of Scripture. We could talk about the depravity of man.

00:06:52.160 --> 00:07:00.680
 We could talk about sanctification and regeneration and illumination and soteriology and election and

00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:06.600
 foreknowledge. We could talk about eternal security. We could talk about the deity of Christ. We could

00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:14.200
 talk about the oneness of God in the Trinity and the unity of the Godhead. But what we're going to try

00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:23.459
 to do this morning is focus on one question. One of these themes that Jesus responds to directly

00:07:23.459 --> 00:07:30.899
 because it is my conviction, and I believe Scripture bears this out, that if we come to know Jesus,

00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:40.959
 then everything else will begin to come into focus. As we begin to understand and love and know our

00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:49.399
 Savior, Jesus Christ, and come to enjoy the sweetness of Him, then everything else will just fall into place.

00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:57.539
 And so this morning, we're going to look at these 10 evidences, some that are definitive and some that

00:07:57.539 --> 00:08:04.879
 are implied through our passage today, and we'll see that indeed Jesus is God.

00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:15.100
 And here He is, standing in their presence. Here He is, showing up in flesh and blood. Here He is,

00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:26.500
 the proof that God has come to man. Here He is, theology wrapped up in humanity. Here He is,

00:08:26.500 --> 00:08:36.419
 the tangible has come to make the glory of God. So this morning I'd like to look at this,

00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:41.860
 and I'll begin just with reading the first few verses. We'll take this a piece at a time.

00:08:42.539 --> 00:08:49.100
 Just beginning with verses 22 to 25, and we'll begin with the fact that Jesus

00:08:49.100 --> 00:08:58.920
 claims to be God because He speaks the words of God. We find that here in verses 22 to 25.

00:08:59.920 --> 00:09:01.060
 It says this,

00:09:01.060 --> 00:09:06.920
 At that time, the feast of the dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was the winter,

00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:14.220
 and Jesus was walking in the temple in the colonnade of Solomon. So the Jews gathered around Him and said

00:09:14.220 --> 00:09:22.420
 to Him, How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.

00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:35.240
 Jesus answered them, I told you and you do not believe. Jesus speaks the words from God. That's our

00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:42.779
 first point this morning. He speaks the words from God, and here it shows up, I told you and you do not

00:09:42.779 --> 00:09:49.740
 believe. We might ask ourselves the questions we've been going through this study in the gospel of

00:09:49.740 --> 00:09:57.740
 John. When did Jesus tell them that He was the Son of God? When did He make it very clear? When was it

00:09:57.740 --> 00:10:07.079
 definitive? How did it show up in His ministry? How should they have known? And why are they now asking

00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:13.160
 this question at this time? Notice here in verse 22 it says, It was at the time of the feast of

00:10:13.160 --> 00:10:19.120
 dedication. Now we have transitioned now, and there's been two months that have occurred between

00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:27.160
 verses 21 and 22. The feast of the tabernacles was kind of the context, the setting for chapters 7

00:10:27.160 --> 00:10:35.140
 through 10 up to verse 21, and now two months have transpired. And look at this, the conversation

00:10:35.139 --> 00:10:42.259
 continues. Jesus is picking up this theme again, as we'll see, about the shepherd and the sheep. But now,

00:10:42.740 --> 00:10:50.199
 as He's dealing with being a shepherd and speaking directly to the fact that He is the shepherd and

00:10:50.199 --> 00:10:57.759
 talking about His relationship with the Father. The feast of dedication would have been not a

00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:06.039
 mosaic feast, not a feast that was spelled out in the book of the law, but it was a feast that

00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:12.399
 happened during the intertestament period, the time between the Old and the New Testament.

00:11:13.439 --> 00:11:22.960
 What had happened in about 165 BC was Antiochus, I think his name Antiochus Epiphanes, who was a ruler,

00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:32.960
 thought that he would impose his Hellenistic ideas on the empire and on the world. And so he comes

00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:40.860
 marching into Israel, and he seeks to stamp out anything Jewish, anything distinctively Jewish,

00:11:41.180 --> 00:11:48.440
 or that had any overtones of the law, anything that wasn't distinctly Hellenistic. And so he

00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:56.420
 marched into the temple, and in order to desecrate the temple, he offered a pig as a sacrifice on the

00:11:56.420 --> 00:12:03.860
 temple. Not only a forbidden animal, but a forbidden person performing these ceremonial duties,

00:12:04.860 --> 00:12:12.360
 leaving the temple utterly worthless in terms of being able to be useful in any way in worship of God.

00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:20.340
 He also set up his own gods in the temple, which was a desecration to the temple, keeping any of the

00:12:20.340 --> 00:12:26.720
 Jews from being able to worship there. He also made sure that anyone who was reading a copy of the Old

00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:34.720
 Testament was punished, and that any copy that he found was destroyed. It was his intention to make

00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:44.340
 sure that anything that would resemble worship to anything but his God was stamped out. But in 165 BC,

00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:55.779
 a man by the name of Judas Maccabees led a revolt and was able to retake Jerusalem on the 25th of

00:12:55.779 --> 00:13:05.079
 Kislev in 164 BC, liberating the temple, rededicating it, making it sanctified again, so that worship could

00:13:05.079 --> 00:13:12.339
 begin to take place. And so we have the Feast of Dedication, the Festival of Lights, or today is known

00:13:12.339 --> 00:13:19.600
 as Hanukkah, that has continued to be celebrated by the Jewish people. This celebration of rekindling the

00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:27.180
 worship that was happening in Jerusalem, restoring what was broken and allowing the people to worship

00:13:27.180 --> 00:13:34.060
 God once again. And so you can imagine that during this season of time, during this festival, there was

00:13:34.060 --> 00:13:40.340
 a heightened awareness of the Messiah who would come, who would set the world straight, who would right

00:13:40.340 --> 00:13:47.180
 all of the wrongs, who would reestablish the nation of Israel, who would liberate them from any

00:13:47.179 --> 00:13:55.719
 oppression, who would restore the nation, not only to its previous glory nationally, but its previous

00:13:55.719 --> 00:14:04.819
 glory in terms of religion and worship of God. And so here they come. We find not only the Feast of

00:14:04.819 --> 00:14:10.939
 Dedication, we find that Jesus is in the temple. He's in the temple walking in a place known as the

00:14:10.940 --> 00:14:18.880
 colonnade of Solomon. This would have been a portico, a location that was supported by pillars and kind of

00:14:18.880 --> 00:14:24.700
 had this awning so that people could be protected from the elements. And Jesus is there, and the Jews

00:14:24.700 --> 00:14:34.020
 gather, and they challenge him with this statement. If you are the Christ, tell us plainly. Let us know.

00:14:34.019 --> 00:14:42.679
 Stop speaking in figurative language. Make it clear to us who you really are. Now, of course, their intention

00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:49.779
 wasn't to have information. Their intention wasn't really to know the facts so they could respond to those facts.

00:14:50.460 --> 00:14:58.460
 They wanted an excuse to hang him. They wanted a reason to put him to death. They wanted something definitive so

00:14:58.460 --> 00:15:09.340
 they could say, this one is blaspheming. And there they stood at the intersection of fact and faith, and they

00:15:09.340 --> 00:15:16.519
 are rejecting the very one who will lead them into worship. The very one who will lead them into

00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:25.019
 relationship with God the Father. Throughout Jesus' ministry, his words were distinctive. And certainly we

00:15:25.019 --> 00:15:30.879
 don't have time to go through all the passages, but I'm going to put a few of them up here for you, not only

00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:37.539
 in the Gospel of John, but also in the Gospel of Luke. I had the privilege of preaching through Luke

00:15:37.539 --> 00:15:44.899
 when I was at Tabernacle, and so a lot of these verses are fresh and familiar to me. So I wanted to

00:15:44.899 --> 00:15:52.039
 give you some correlation between the synoptic Gospels and also the Gospel of John to help you see

00:15:52.039 --> 00:16:00.139
 that Jesus spoke with the words of God. They were distinctive. They were separate. They stood apart

00:16:00.139 --> 00:16:06.759
 from the words of the other religious leaders. They carried authority. There was depth and insight,

00:16:07.079 --> 00:16:12.179
 understanding into the Scripture. He spoke with his own authority and not with the authority of those

00:16:12.179 --> 00:16:21.919
 who had come before. But there was grace in his words. There was wisdom in his words. There was

00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:31.339
 boldness that cut to the heart and got to the matter that was at stake. His words alone, through his words

00:16:31.340 --> 00:16:39.399
 alone, Jesus demonstrated that he was from God. In John chapter 4 verse 42,

00:16:41.540 --> 00:16:47.480
 those who had come from this Samaritan village and had heard the words of this woman who Jesus had

00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:53.620
 encountered, they say this, they said to the woman, it is no longer because of what you said that we

00:16:53.620 --> 00:17:01.919
 believe. For we have heard for ourselves and we know that this indeed is the Savior of the world.

00:17:02.860 --> 00:17:09.579
 We have heard him for ourselves and it is distinctive and we know that he is the Savior of the world.

00:17:10.819 --> 00:17:15.240
 In John chapter 6 verse 68, Simon Peter answers the Lord and says,

00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:18.599
 Lord, you alone have the words of life.

00:17:19.940 --> 00:17:23.380
 The words from God. In John chapter 7

00:17:23.380 --> 00:17:24.819
 verses 14 to 16 it says,

00:17:25.180 --> 00:17:29.620
 Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught and the Jews

00:17:29.620 --> 00:17:32.059
 marveled at his words.

00:17:33.779 --> 00:17:34.700
 John 7

00:17:34.700 --> 00:17:35.740
 40 and 41,

00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:42.000
 Therefore many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said, truly this is the prophet.

00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:48.359
 And a quick study through the gospel of Luke will help you to see the same things.

00:17:48.900 --> 00:17:52.259
 That when Jesus teaches, there was distinctiveness.

00:17:52.660 --> 00:17:53.660
 People marveled.

00:17:53.819 --> 00:17:55.240
 They recognized his authority.

00:17:55.539 --> 00:17:57.579
 Not only authority to teach from the scriptures,

00:17:58.019 --> 00:18:03.720
 but authority to speak and to declare victory and power over the demons.

00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:07.079
 There was power in his words.

00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:12.839
 So that in Luke chapter 5, early in Jesus' ministry, it says,

00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:16.779
 As the multitude pressed about him, why?

00:18:17.699 --> 00:18:20.519
 To hear his words.

00:18:21.399 --> 00:18:26.000
 There was something about the words of Christ that set themselves apart from the world.

00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:35.420
 And as Jesus calls these group of Jews to just recall and remember his words,

00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:38.619
 he calls them to the point of intersection.

00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:44.140
 The intersection of fact and faith and to consider,

00:18:44.539 --> 00:18:45.500
 Who am I?

00:18:45.819 --> 00:18:48.359
 What will you do with Jesus?

00:18:49.339 --> 00:18:52.900
 He proves he is God because he speaks the words of God.

00:18:52.900 --> 00:18:56.780
 But notice moving on in verse 25, he says,

00:18:56.940 --> 00:18:58.940
 I told you and you do not believe,

00:18:59.780 --> 00:19:04.240
 The works that I do in my Father's name bear witness about me.

00:19:05.120 --> 00:19:10.440
 He not only speaks the words of God, but he does the works of God.

00:19:11.300 --> 00:19:14.900
 He performs the works that God has given him to perform.

00:19:15.900 --> 00:19:18.920
 The works that I do in my Father's name bear witness of me, he says.

00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:24.740
 Jesus' life in ministry was punctuated by working,

00:19:25.300 --> 00:19:27.640
 was punctuated by miracles.

00:19:28.120 --> 00:19:31.120
 It was the exclamation point that said,

00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:33.080
 You are who you say you are.

00:19:33.380 --> 00:19:34.840
 You are from God.

00:19:35.600 --> 00:19:40.800
 And anyone who would have observed and seen and witnessed these miracles

00:19:40.800 --> 00:19:43.019
 should have come to the point of saying,

00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:45.519
 Truly, this is the Son of God.

00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:47.940
 Look at what he has done.

00:19:49.460 --> 00:19:51.420
 They prove unquestionably.

00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:54.519
 They prove with definitive evidence,

00:19:54.859 --> 00:19:59.660
 substance that helps to set him apart as one who is from God.

00:20:00.539 --> 00:20:03.220
 Miracles that spanned the gamut.

00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:06.859
 Miracles that demonstrated power over demons,

00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:08.539
 power over disease,

00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:10.119
 power over death,

00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:11.559
 power over blindness,

00:20:12.139 --> 00:20:13.619
 power to restore limbs,

00:20:13.619 --> 00:20:15.399
 power to make clean,

00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:18.259
 power to create the bread and the fish

00:20:18.259 --> 00:20:19.819
 and the feeding of the 5,000,

00:20:20.339 --> 00:20:23.079
 power over nature to gather the fish

00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:25.839
 and to walk on water,

00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:29.399
 power to calm the wind and the waves.

00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:32.139
 There was power in miracles

00:20:32.139 --> 00:20:35.079
 and evidence that he is God.

00:20:36.159 --> 00:20:39.399
 And Jesus calls the attention of these Jews

00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:39.860
 and says,

00:20:40.080 --> 00:20:41.560
 Look at my works.

00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:44.840
 They're the difference maker.

00:20:45.820 --> 00:20:47.259
 They provide the substance.

00:20:48.040 --> 00:20:48.880
 Just look at them.

00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:51.380
 And through John's gospel,

00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:52.340
 we see the same.

00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:55.360
 We see in John 2, verse 11,

00:20:56.259 --> 00:20:56.620
 this,

00:20:57.340 --> 00:20:58.800
 the first of his signs in Cana,

00:20:58.860 --> 00:21:00.300
 where he turned the water into wine.

00:21:01.220 --> 00:21:01.780
 And he says,

00:21:01.840 --> 00:21:03.300
 He manifested his glory,

00:21:03.580 --> 00:21:04.519
 and because of it,

00:21:04.620 --> 00:21:05.880
 his disciples believed.

00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:09.520
 When Jesus did his works,

00:21:09.840 --> 00:21:11.160
 people were saved.

00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:12.600
 People were converted.

00:21:13.120 --> 00:21:14.100
 Faith came.

00:21:14.340 --> 00:21:16.900
 It was the intersection of fact and faith

00:21:16.900 --> 00:21:18.680
 as they saw the evidence of Christ

00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:21.820
 showing up in his working

00:21:21.820 --> 00:21:24.640
 and manifesting that he was from God.

00:21:25.520 --> 00:21:27.340
 In chapter 2, verse 23, it says,

00:21:27.600 --> 00:21:28.880
 Now when he was in Jerusalem,

00:21:29.420 --> 00:21:30.600
 at the Passover feast,

00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:32.060
 many believed in his name

00:21:32.060 --> 00:21:34.940
 when they saw the signs that he was doing.

00:21:34.940 --> 00:21:37.440
 And then jumping over to chapter 4,

00:21:37.840 --> 00:21:39.680
 I love what Nicodemus says.

00:21:40.360 --> 00:21:40.920
 He says,

00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:43.080
 actually chapter 3,

00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:45.440
 This man came to Jesus by night

00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:46.080
 and said to him,

00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:46.799
 Rabbi,

00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:49.600
 we know that you are a teacher

00:21:49.600 --> 00:21:50.680
 come from God.

00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:51.299
 Why?

00:21:52.820 --> 00:21:55.140
 For no one can do the signs

00:21:55.140 --> 00:21:56.180
 that you do

00:21:56.180 --> 00:21:57.460
 unless God is with him.

00:21:58.500 --> 00:21:59.940
 There is evidence.

00:22:00.860 --> 00:22:03.500
 We are a society of evidence.

00:22:03.500 --> 00:22:07.380
 We are a society that demands proof.

00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:10.039
 Jesus was about evidence.

00:22:11.140 --> 00:22:13.180
 Fact and faith meet

00:22:13.180 --> 00:22:15.400
 at the intersection of Jesus Christ

00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:17.160
 and he demands a response.

00:22:17.539 --> 00:22:19.339
 What will you do with me?

00:22:20.500 --> 00:22:21.819
 What will you do

00:22:21.819 --> 00:22:23.420
 with the evidence

00:22:23.420 --> 00:22:25.180
 that I am from God?

00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:28.480
 Jesus moves on

00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:29.839
 in his argument.

00:22:31.079 --> 00:22:31.900
 In verse 26,

00:22:31.900 --> 00:22:33.480
 he says,

00:22:34.220 --> 00:22:36.060
 he says,

00:22:36.060 --> 00:22:38.180
 but you do not believe

00:22:38.180 --> 00:22:40.360
 because you are not part

00:22:40.360 --> 00:22:41.700
 of my flock.

00:22:42.500 --> 00:22:43.540
 You do not believe

00:22:43.540 --> 00:22:45.460
 because you are not part of my flock.

00:22:46.100 --> 00:22:48.060
 Jesus possesses

00:22:48.060 --> 00:22:49.500
 the knowledge of God.

00:22:51.320 --> 00:22:53.780
 Jesus shows up on the scene

00:22:53.780 --> 00:22:55.259
 and understands

00:22:55.259 --> 00:22:56.980
 and perceives

00:22:56.980 --> 00:22:58.680
 and knows the heart of men.

00:22:58.680 --> 00:23:02.100
 He is looking at these Jews.

00:23:02.299 --> 00:23:04.560
 He is understanding

00:23:04.560 --> 00:23:05.700
 the skepticism.

00:23:06.019 --> 00:23:07.340
 He sees their heart.

00:23:07.620 --> 00:23:08.980
 He knows their end.

00:23:10.340 --> 00:23:11.860
 But he is still here

00:23:11.860 --> 00:23:13.500
 answering their question.

00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:16.100
 You do not believe

00:23:16.100 --> 00:23:17.539
 because you are not my sheep.

00:23:18.080 --> 00:23:19.320
 I know your heart.

00:23:20.360 --> 00:23:21.720
 You would like to conceal

00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:22.920
 your true identity,

00:23:23.140 --> 00:23:24.660
 but I know who you really are.

00:23:24.660 --> 00:23:26.740
 I know you fully.

00:23:27.500 --> 00:23:28.140
 And I know why

00:23:28.140 --> 00:23:28.920
 you are asking me

00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:29.580
 this question.

00:23:30.340 --> 00:23:31.580
 Not so that you can be

00:23:31.580 --> 00:23:32.519
 drawn into worship,

00:23:32.980 --> 00:23:33.860
 but you are asking me

00:23:33.860 --> 00:23:34.460
 this question

00:23:34.460 --> 00:23:35.880
 because you want

00:23:35.880 --> 00:23:36.640
 a reason

00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:38.440
 to indict me.

00:23:40.120 --> 00:23:41.000
 This is another

00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:41.560
 clear evidence

00:23:41.560 --> 00:23:42.060
 of his deity.

00:23:42.700 --> 00:23:43.860
 His ability to perceive,

00:23:44.120 --> 00:23:45.279
 his ability to know

00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:47.019
 the knowledge of God

00:23:47.019 --> 00:23:48.460
 that was coming through

00:23:48.460 --> 00:23:49.860
 the ministry of Christ.

00:23:50.220 --> 00:23:51.620
 From start to finish,

00:23:51.700 --> 00:23:52.279
 we see it

00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:53.200
 showing up

00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:54.200
 in the Gospel of John.

00:23:54.759 --> 00:23:55.960
 In John 1,

00:23:56.279 --> 00:23:57.740
 47-49,

00:23:58.039 --> 00:23:59.080
 Jesus is encountering

00:23:59.080 --> 00:23:59.600
 Nathanael.

00:24:00.940 --> 00:24:03.059
 And in his

00:24:03.059 --> 00:24:05.299
 announcement to Nathanael,

00:24:05.380 --> 00:24:06.200
 in his welcome

00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:06.779
 to Nathanael,

00:24:06.819 --> 00:24:07.340
 he says this,

00:24:07.539 --> 00:24:08.120
 Behold,

00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:09.360
 an Israelite

00:24:09.360 --> 00:24:09.920
 in whom

00:24:09.920 --> 00:24:11.319
 there is no deceit.

00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:13.960
 How did Jesus know that?

00:24:14.700 --> 00:24:15.380
 Well, he knew

00:24:15.380 --> 00:24:16.960
 because he knew

00:24:16.960 --> 00:24:18.039
 Nathanael.

00:24:19.900 --> 00:24:20.580
 Nathanael is

00:24:20.580 --> 00:24:21.620
 enamored by this

00:24:21.619 --> 00:24:22.819
 and he's just,

00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:23.939
 How did you know

00:24:23.939 --> 00:24:24.959
 who I was?

00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:26.059
 And Jesus says,

00:24:26.139 --> 00:24:27.139
 I saw you

00:24:27.139 --> 00:24:27.959
 when you were standing

00:24:27.959 --> 00:24:28.659
 by that fig tree

00:24:28.659 --> 00:24:29.000
 over there.

00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:31.279
 And Nathanael says,

00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:32.479
 Because of the knowledge

00:24:32.479 --> 00:24:32.939
 of God,

00:24:33.199 --> 00:24:33.859
 he says,

00:24:34.099 --> 00:24:34.979
 You truly are

00:24:34.979 --> 00:24:35.559
 the Messiah.

00:24:36.859 --> 00:24:37.939
 And Jesus is like,

00:24:38.299 --> 00:24:41.199
 Yes, Nathanael,

00:24:41.459 --> 00:24:42.199
 but you're going to see

00:24:42.199 --> 00:24:43.279
 greater things than this.

00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:45.699
 There is better

00:24:45.699 --> 00:24:47.119
 things to witness

00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:48.099
 than even this.

00:24:48.099 --> 00:24:49.939
 Just hold on

00:24:49.939 --> 00:24:50.519
 to your seat,

00:24:50.659 --> 00:24:51.099
 Nathanael.

00:24:51.719 --> 00:24:52.619
 We've got a ride

00:24:52.619 --> 00:24:53.159
 in store.

00:24:54.159 --> 00:24:54.859
 I'm going to show you

00:24:54.859 --> 00:24:55.559
 that I am

00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:56.219
 the person

00:24:56.219 --> 00:24:57.000
 that you have just

00:24:57.000 --> 00:24:58.439
 stated me to be.

00:24:59.399 --> 00:25:00.619
 In John chapter 2,

00:25:00.719 --> 00:25:01.819
 22 to 24,

00:25:02.339 --> 00:25:03.319
 23 to 24,

00:25:03.639 --> 00:25:03.899
 it says,

00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:04.799
 Now when he was

00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:05.359
 in Jerusalem

00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:06.039
 at the Passover,

00:25:06.539 --> 00:25:07.439
 during the feast,

00:25:07.740 --> 00:25:08.740
 many believed

00:25:08.740 --> 00:25:09.480
 in his name

00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:10.779
 when they saw

00:25:10.779 --> 00:25:11.319
 the signs

00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:11.819
 that he did.

00:25:12.719 --> 00:25:13.240
 But,

00:25:13.679 --> 00:25:15.079
 Jesus did not

00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:15.679
 commit himself

00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:16.380
 to them

00:25:16.380 --> 00:25:17.720
 because he knew

00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:18.420
 all men.

00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:21.120
 In chapter 4,

00:25:21.180 --> 00:25:21.779
 verse 39,

00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:23.620
 the woman

00:25:23.620 --> 00:25:24.200
 at the well

00:25:24.200 --> 00:25:26.960
 and the moment

00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:27.820
 for her

00:25:27.820 --> 00:25:29.279
 in understanding

00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:30.539
 the person

00:25:30.539 --> 00:25:31.060
 of Christ

00:25:31.060 --> 00:25:31.700
 and who he really

00:25:31.700 --> 00:25:32.340
 was,

00:25:33.060 --> 00:25:34.299
 this is summed up

00:25:34.299 --> 00:25:35.019
 in this statement

00:25:35.019 --> 00:25:35.900
 as she is going

00:25:35.900 --> 00:25:36.759
 back and telling

00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:37.180
 the people

00:25:37.180 --> 00:25:37.700
 in her village.

00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:38.380
 She says,

00:25:38.580 --> 00:25:39.920
 He told me all

00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:41.000
 that I ever did

00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:42.900
 and many more

00:25:42.900 --> 00:25:43.400
 believed

00:25:43.400 --> 00:25:45.279
 because of his word.

00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:46.900
 And as we run

00:25:46.900 --> 00:25:48.019
 through the gospel

00:25:48.019 --> 00:25:48.380
 of Luke,

00:25:48.420 --> 00:25:49.120
 we see the same

00:25:49.120 --> 00:25:50.019
 kinds of things.

00:25:50.440 --> 00:25:51.340
 We see that Jesus

00:25:51.340 --> 00:25:52.060
 is perceiving

00:25:52.060 --> 00:25:52.560
 the thoughts

00:25:52.560 --> 00:25:53.039
 of those

00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:53.820
 who he is

00:25:53.820 --> 00:25:54.660
 teaching to.

00:25:55.080 --> 00:25:56.000
 We see that Jesus

00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:56.940
 knows exactly

00:25:56.940 --> 00:25:57.740
 what they're thinking

00:25:57.740 --> 00:25:59.039
 in Luke chapter 6.

00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:00.299
 We see that

00:26:00.299 --> 00:26:01.240
 a Pharisee

00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:02.360
 is having a conversation

00:26:02.360 --> 00:26:03.259
 in his own mind

00:26:03.259 --> 00:26:04.560
 and Jesus picks up

00:26:04.560 --> 00:26:04.799
 on that

00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:05.900
 and responds to it.

00:26:07.220 --> 00:26:08.380
 And on three occasions,

00:26:09.380 --> 00:26:10.340
 Jesus tells

00:26:10.340 --> 00:26:11.140
 his disciples

00:26:11.140 --> 00:26:12.380
 definitively

00:26:12.380 --> 00:26:13.259
 and clearly

00:26:13.259 --> 00:26:14.360
 and specifically

00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:15.559
 what will happen

00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:16.439
 on the cross.

00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:18.839
 He knew

00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:20.039
 the who.

00:26:20.399 --> 00:26:20.859
 He knew

00:26:20.859 --> 00:26:21.599
 the what.

00:26:21.879 --> 00:26:22.339
 He knew

00:26:22.339 --> 00:26:23.079
 the when.

00:26:23.639 --> 00:26:23.979
 He knew

00:26:23.979 --> 00:26:24.500
 the how.

00:26:25.199 --> 00:26:25.939
 But he also knew

00:26:25.939 --> 00:26:26.500
 the resurrection

00:26:26.500 --> 00:26:27.099
 was coming.

00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:29.919
 Jesus had

00:26:29.919 --> 00:26:30.500
 the knowledge

00:26:30.500 --> 00:26:31.219
 of God.

00:26:32.179 --> 00:26:32.719
 That

00:26:32.719 --> 00:26:34.199
 should also

00:26:34.199 --> 00:26:35.019
 have been enough.

00:26:37.019 --> 00:26:38.179
 Who can do

00:26:38.179 --> 00:26:39.059
 this but God?

00:26:39.059 --> 00:26:39.119
 God.

00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:42.579
 And what amazes me

00:26:42.579 --> 00:26:44.460
 is not only

00:26:44.460 --> 00:26:45.259
 the evidence

00:26:45.259 --> 00:26:46.059
 of divinity

00:26:46.059 --> 00:26:46.720
 showing up

00:26:46.720 --> 00:26:47.659
 in the knowledge,

00:26:48.059 --> 00:26:50.419
 this divine knowledge

00:26:50.419 --> 00:26:51.279
 that is coming

00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:52.919
 through in Jesus Christ,

00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:53.940
 but what I am

00:26:53.940 --> 00:26:54.879
 so amazed at

00:26:54.879 --> 00:26:57.000
 is the divine love

00:26:57.000 --> 00:26:58.639
 that comes through.

00:26:59.779 --> 00:27:00.319
 Because,

00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:00.940
 let me tell you,

00:27:01.619 --> 00:27:02.599
 when I know

00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:02.980
 what people

00:27:02.980 --> 00:27:03.659
 are going to do,

00:27:04.159 --> 00:27:05.679
 when I know

00:27:05.679 --> 00:27:06.139
 what people

00:27:06.139 --> 00:27:06.819
 have done,

00:27:06.819 --> 00:27:08.439
 it changes,

00:27:08.980 --> 00:27:09.460
 or at least

00:27:09.460 --> 00:27:10.960
 tries to change

00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:11.559
 everything

00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:12.960
 about my posture

00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:13.919
 with those people.

00:27:14.939 --> 00:27:15.259
 And yet,

00:27:15.419 --> 00:27:16.460
 Jesus went

00:27:16.460 --> 00:27:17.259
 to their homes.

00:27:17.659 --> 00:27:18.740
 Jesus raised

00:27:18.740 --> 00:27:19.359
 their kids

00:27:19.359 --> 00:27:19.980
 from the dead.

00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:21.399
 Jesus healed

00:27:21.399 --> 00:27:22.279
 their diseases.

00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:23.819
 He speaks

00:27:23.819 --> 00:27:24.399
 the truth

00:27:24.399 --> 00:27:24.720
 to them.

00:27:24.939 --> 00:27:26.039
 He loves them.

00:27:26.299 --> 00:27:27.240
 He goes to their house

00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:27.899
 and eats dinner

00:27:27.899 --> 00:27:28.379
 with them.

00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:29.099
 He knows

00:27:29.099 --> 00:27:29.939
 it's all a setup,

00:27:29.939 --> 00:27:30.980
 but he does it

00:27:30.980 --> 00:27:32.000
 because of

00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:32.779
 divine love.

00:27:32.779 --> 00:27:36.059
 He is

00:27:36.059 --> 00:27:37.200
 one who has

00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:38.059
 divine knowledge.

00:27:38.940 --> 00:27:40.019
 But in that

00:27:40.019 --> 00:27:40.859
 divine knowledge,

00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:41.639
 there's also

00:27:41.639 --> 00:27:42.480
 divine love.

00:27:43.460 --> 00:27:44.220
 Oh, the wonder

00:27:44.220 --> 00:27:45.660
 of our God

00:27:45.660 --> 00:27:47.220
 and Jesus

00:27:47.220 --> 00:27:48.220
 helping them

00:27:48.220 --> 00:27:48.660
 to see,

00:27:49.180 --> 00:27:49.879
 I possess

00:27:49.879 --> 00:27:51.019
 divine knowledge.

00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:53.379
 What will you do

00:27:53.379 --> 00:27:54.720
 at the intersection

00:27:54.720 --> 00:27:55.920
 of fact

00:27:55.920 --> 00:27:56.559
 and faith?

00:27:57.359 --> 00:27:58.379
 What will you do

00:27:58.379 --> 00:27:59.079
 with Jesus?

00:28:00.619 --> 00:28:01.559
 Jesus moves on

00:28:01.559 --> 00:28:02.099
 in his argument.

00:28:02.779 --> 00:28:03.680
 He helps him

00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:04.279
 to understand

00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:05.460
 that there is

00:28:05.460 --> 00:28:06.500
 more to be said.

00:28:07.339 --> 00:28:08.259
 He says here

00:28:08.259 --> 00:28:10.240
 in verse 27,

00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:11.819
 he says,

00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:12.539
 my sheep

00:28:12.539 --> 00:28:13.859
 hear my voice

00:28:13.859 --> 00:28:15.119
 and I know them

00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:16.079
 and they follow me.

00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:18.039
 In this

00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:19.200
 little phrase,

00:28:19.339 --> 00:28:20.180
 I see that he

00:28:20.180 --> 00:28:21.319
 exercises

00:28:21.319 --> 00:28:22.339
 the authority

00:28:22.339 --> 00:28:22.899
 of God.

00:28:23.980 --> 00:28:24.460
 My sheep

00:28:24.460 --> 00:28:25.160
 hear my voice

00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:26.039
 and I know them

00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:27.019
 and they follow me.

00:28:27.539 --> 00:28:28.819
 Jesus alone

00:28:28.819 --> 00:28:29.940
 has the right

00:28:29.940 --> 00:28:30.899
 to command

00:28:30.899 --> 00:28:31.559
 your obedience.

00:28:32.779 --> 00:28:33.519
 We saw that

00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:34.859
 in previous weeks.

00:28:35.879 --> 00:28:36.299
 We saw that

00:28:36.299 --> 00:28:36.859
 he alone

00:28:36.859 --> 00:28:37.579
 has the authority

00:28:37.579 --> 00:28:38.099
 from God.

00:28:38.339 --> 00:28:38.980
 He alone

00:28:38.980 --> 00:28:39.940
 can demand

00:28:39.940 --> 00:28:40.579
 my obedience.

00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:42.019
 He has exclusive

00:28:42.019 --> 00:28:42.639
 rights

00:28:42.639 --> 00:28:43.960
 as Messiah

00:28:43.960 --> 00:28:45.200
 over my life.

00:28:46.799 --> 00:28:47.299
 He alone

00:28:47.299 --> 00:28:48.660
 is the good shepherd.

00:28:49.819 --> 00:28:50.619
 Throughout his ministry,

00:28:50.779 --> 00:28:51.440
 Jesus again

00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:52.460
 establishes

00:28:52.460 --> 00:28:53.000
 that he has

00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:53.799
 the sole authority

00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:55.279
 to lead God's people.

00:28:56.039 --> 00:28:56.420
 And we see

00:28:56.420 --> 00:28:56.920
 his authority

00:28:56.920 --> 00:28:57.460
 show up

00:28:57.460 --> 00:28:58.299
 in the book

00:28:58.299 --> 00:28:58.899
 of the gospel

00:28:58.899 --> 00:28:59.259
 of John

00:28:59.259 --> 00:28:59.659
 and also

00:28:59.659 --> 00:29:01.599
 in the gospels

00:29:01.599 --> 00:29:02.000
 themselves,

00:29:02.139 --> 00:29:02.980
 the synoptic gospels.

00:29:03.059 --> 00:29:03.480
 We see

00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:04.339
 his authority

00:29:04.339 --> 00:29:05.019
 established.

00:29:06.180 --> 00:29:06.819
 And this

00:29:06.819 --> 00:29:07.539
 certainly cannot

00:29:07.539 --> 00:29:08.519
 be a comprehensive

00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:09.000
 study.

00:29:09.720 --> 00:29:10.339
 But here are

00:29:10.339 --> 00:29:10.919
 some ideas,

00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:11.720
 here are some ways

00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:12.099
 that Jesus

00:29:12.099 --> 00:29:13.119
 shows up

00:29:13.119 --> 00:29:13.779
 in his authority.

00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:15.180
 He shows up

00:29:15.180 --> 00:29:16.619
 as an authority

00:29:16.619 --> 00:29:17.960
 over the law

00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:19.059
 in John

00:29:19.059 --> 00:29:19.759
 chapter 1

00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:20.539
 verse 17.

00:29:21.539 --> 00:29:22.019
 It says,

00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:22.480
 for the law

00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:23.000
 was given

00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:23.940
 through Moses

00:29:23.940 --> 00:29:24.619
 but grace

00:29:24.619 --> 00:29:25.200
 and truth

00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:26.180
 came through

00:29:26.180 --> 00:29:27.539
 Jesus Christ.

00:29:28.560 --> 00:29:29.240
 Jesus is

00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:29.820
 greater

00:29:29.820 --> 00:29:30.740
 than the law.

00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:33.200
 There is only

00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:33.900
 one

00:29:33.900 --> 00:29:34.600
 greater than

00:29:34.600 --> 00:29:34.980
 the law.

00:29:35.880 --> 00:29:36.700
 And the law

00:29:36.700 --> 00:29:37.360
 was something

00:29:37.360 --> 00:29:37.820
 that was

00:29:37.820 --> 00:29:39.080
 cherished

00:29:39.080 --> 00:29:40.160
 and loved

00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:41.019
 and revered

00:29:41.019 --> 00:29:41.660
 and almost

00:29:41.660 --> 00:29:42.500
 worshipped

00:29:42.500 --> 00:29:43.440
 by the people

00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:44.120
 of the Jews.

00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:45.720
 And Jesus

00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:46.220
 shows up

00:29:46.220 --> 00:29:46.680
 to say,

00:29:47.060 --> 00:29:47.539
 I am

00:29:47.539 --> 00:29:48.420
 greater than

00:29:48.420 --> 00:29:48.840
 the law.

00:29:50.420 --> 00:29:51.200
 Of course,

00:29:51.299 --> 00:29:51.960
 he didn't come

00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:53.220
 to abolish

00:29:53.220 --> 00:29:53.680
 the law

00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:54.440
 as we find

00:29:54.440 --> 00:29:54.799
 in Matthew

00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:55.380
 chapter 5

00:29:55.380 --> 00:29:55.779
 17.

00:29:56.180 --> 00:29:56.840
 Don't think

00:29:56.840 --> 00:29:57.299
 that I came

00:29:57.299 --> 00:29:57.840
 to destroy

00:29:57.840 --> 00:29:58.279
 the law

00:29:58.279 --> 00:29:59.340
 but I

00:29:59.340 --> 00:30:00.100
 came

00:30:00.100 --> 00:30:00.799
 to fulfill

00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:01.080
 it.

00:30:02.340 --> 00:30:02.720
 And then

00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:02.980
 on the

00:30:02.980 --> 00:30:03.420
 Sermon on the

00:30:03.420 --> 00:30:03.560
 Mount

00:30:03.560 --> 00:30:04.279
 we find

00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:04.799
 that Jesus

00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:05.460
 is authority

00:30:05.460 --> 00:30:06.039
 of the law

00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:07.259
 over the law

00:30:07.259 --> 00:30:08.019
 is coming

00:30:08.019 --> 00:30:08.860
 front and center

00:30:08.860 --> 00:30:09.600
 where on

00:30:09.600 --> 00:30:09.920
 at least

00:30:09.920 --> 00:30:10.920
 five occasions

00:30:10.920 --> 00:30:11.840
 Jesus says,

00:30:12.580 --> 00:30:12.960
 you have heard

00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:13.500
 it said

00:30:13.500 --> 00:30:15.120
 but I

00:30:15.120 --> 00:30:16.340
 say to you

00:30:16.340 --> 00:30:18.080
 I

00:30:18.080 --> 00:30:18.720
 am the

00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:19.160
 authority

00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:20.360
 listen to me

00:30:20.360 --> 00:30:22.120
 I

00:30:22.120 --> 00:30:22.500
 am

00:30:22.500 --> 00:30:23.860
 the authority

00:30:23.860 --> 00:30:24.279
 over

00:30:24.279 --> 00:30:25.080
 the law.

00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:26.019
 we also

00:30:26.019 --> 00:30:26.460
 see that

00:30:26.460 --> 00:30:26.740
 he is

00:30:26.740 --> 00:30:27.339
 the authority

00:30:27.339 --> 00:30:28.199
 over the

00:30:28.199 --> 00:30:28.539
 temple

00:30:28.539 --> 00:30:29.639
 and Jesus

00:30:29.639 --> 00:30:30.220
 comes

00:30:30.220 --> 00:30:31.159
 into Jerusalem

00:30:31.159 --> 00:30:31.619
 at the very

00:30:31.619 --> 00:30:32.460
 onset of his

00:30:32.460 --> 00:30:32.879
 ministry

00:30:32.879 --> 00:30:33.859
 in John

00:30:33.859 --> 00:30:34.599
 chapter 2

00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:35.460
 verses 13

00:30:35.460 --> 00:30:36.000
 to 15

00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:36.500
 Jesus

00:30:36.500 --> 00:30:37.039
 goes up

00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:37.500
 to Jerusalem

00:30:37.500 --> 00:30:37.799
 and what

00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:38.259
 does he do?

00:30:39.059 --> 00:30:40.059
 He cleans

00:30:40.059 --> 00:30:40.579
 the place

00:30:40.579 --> 00:30:41.019
 out

00:30:41.019 --> 00:30:42.379
 this

00:30:42.379 --> 00:30:43.679
 is to be

00:30:43.679 --> 00:30:44.299
 a house

00:30:44.299 --> 00:30:45.019
 of prayer

00:30:45.019 --> 00:30:45.819
 but you

00:30:45.819 --> 00:30:46.179
 have made

00:30:46.179 --> 00:30:46.500
 it a den

00:30:46.500 --> 00:30:47.079
 of thieves

00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:47.740
 Jesus

00:30:47.740 --> 00:30:48.500
 exerts his

00:30:48.500 --> 00:30:48.960
 authority

00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:49.559
 over the

00:30:49.559 --> 00:30:49.899
 temple

00:30:49.899 --> 00:30:50.839
 and cleans

00:30:50.839 --> 00:30:51.279
 house

00:30:51.279 --> 00:30:51.399
 cross

00:30:51.399 --> 00:30:52.619
 he does

00:30:52.619 --> 00:30:52.920
 it at the

00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:53.220
 beginning

00:30:53.220 --> 00:30:53.500
 of his

00:30:53.500 --> 00:30:53.920
 ministry

00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:54.700
 he does

00:30:54.700 --> 00:30:55.039
 it at the

00:30:55.039 --> 00:30:55.500
 end of his

00:30:55.500 --> 00:30:55.960
 ministry

00:30:55.960 --> 00:30:56.460
 in the

00:30:56.460 --> 00:30:57.240
 final week

00:30:57.240 --> 00:30:58.019
 leading up

00:30:58.019 --> 00:30:58.240
 to the

00:30:58.240 --> 00:30:58.680
 cross

00:30:58.680 --> 00:30:59.740
 to establish

00:30:59.740 --> 00:31:00.639
 I am

00:31:00.639 --> 00:31:01.059
 the one

00:31:01.059 --> 00:31:01.299
 who has

00:31:01.299 --> 00:31:01.779
 authority

00:31:01.779 --> 00:31:02.379
 over the

00:31:02.379 --> 00:31:02.759
 temple

00:31:02.759 --> 00:31:05.539
 he has

00:31:05.539 --> 00:31:05.940
 authority

00:31:05.940 --> 00:31:06.599
 over the

00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:06.899
 temple

00:31:06.899 --> 00:31:07.519
 and also

00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:08.220
 authority

00:31:08.220 --> 00:31:08.899
 over sin

00:31:08.899 --> 00:31:10.579
 he shows

00:31:10.579 --> 00:31:11.399
 this authority

00:31:11.399 --> 00:31:12.519
 by forgiving

00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:13.019
 sin

00:31:13.019 --> 00:31:14.059
 in John

00:31:14.059 --> 00:31:14.680
 chapter 1

00:31:14.680 --> 00:31:15.220
 verse 29

00:31:15.220 --> 00:31:15.539
 it says

00:31:15.539 --> 00:31:16.220
 John the

00:31:16.220 --> 00:31:16.440
 Baptist

00:31:16.440 --> 00:31:16.660
 says

00:31:16.660 --> 00:31:17.100
 behold

00:31:17.100 --> 00:31:17.380
 the

00:31:17.380 --> 00:31:17.720
 Lamb

00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:18.320
 of God

00:31:18.320 --> 00:31:18.640
 who

00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:19.120
 takes

00:31:19.120 --> 00:31:19.580
 away

00:31:19.580 --> 00:31:20.480
 the

00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:20.980
 sin

00:31:20.980 --> 00:31:21.480
 of

00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:21.580
 the

00:31:21.580 --> 00:31:21.940
 world

00:31:21.940 --> 00:31:24.700
 and in

00:31:24.700 --> 00:31:24.900
 John

00:31:24.900 --> 00:31:25.660
 chapter 5

00:31:25.660 --> 00:31:27.080
 verse 14

00:31:27.080 --> 00:31:27.960
 Jesus

00:31:27.960 --> 00:31:28.740
 finds this

00:31:28.740 --> 00:31:29.019
 one

00:31:29.019 --> 00:31:29.300
 he has

00:31:29.300 --> 00:31:29.540
 just

00:31:29.540 --> 00:31:29.860
 healed

00:31:29.860 --> 00:31:30.140
 in the

00:31:30.140 --> 00:31:30.440
 temple

00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:31.240
 and he

00:31:31.240 --> 00:31:31.700
 tells him

00:31:31.700 --> 00:31:32.200
 and commands

00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:32.380
 him

00:31:32.380 --> 00:31:33.140
 go and

00:31:33.140 --> 00:31:33.540
 sin

00:31:33.540 --> 00:31:34.420
 no more

00:31:34.420 --> 00:31:37.040
 and throughout

00:31:37.040 --> 00:31:37.960
 the gospel

00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:38.380
 of Luke

00:31:38.380 --> 00:31:38.720
 I think

00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:39.060
 where this

00:31:39.060 --> 00:31:39.740
 really comes

00:31:39.740 --> 00:31:40.500
 front and

00:31:40.500 --> 00:31:40.860
 center

00:31:40.860 --> 00:31:42.200
 is in

00:31:42.200 --> 00:31:42.400
 Luke

00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:43.160
 chapter 5

00:31:43.160 --> 00:31:43.400
 where

00:31:43.400 --> 00:31:44.080
 Jesus

00:31:44.080 --> 00:31:44.540
 heals

00:31:44.540 --> 00:31:44.720
 the

00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:45.180
 paralytic

00:31:45.180 --> 00:31:46.060
 and he

00:31:46.059 --> 00:31:46.679
 tells that

00:31:46.679 --> 00:31:47.119
 paralyzed

00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:47.639
 man

00:31:47.639 --> 00:31:48.399
 he says

00:31:48.399 --> 00:31:49.039
 your sins

00:31:49.039 --> 00:31:49.539
 are forgiven

00:31:49.539 --> 00:31:51.039
 and then it

00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:51.599
 says that the

00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:52.379
 Jews grumble

00:31:52.379 --> 00:31:52.720
 in their

00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:53.139
 hearts

00:31:53.139 --> 00:31:54.220
 who is

00:31:54.220 --> 00:31:54.599
 such a

00:31:54.599 --> 00:31:54.859
 one

00:31:54.859 --> 00:31:55.419
 as can

00:31:55.419 --> 00:31:55.740
 forgive

00:31:55.740 --> 00:31:56.119
 sins

00:31:56.119 --> 00:31:56.480
 only

00:31:56.480 --> 00:31:57.059
 God

00:31:57.059 --> 00:31:57.480
 can

00:31:57.480 --> 00:31:57.779
 forgive

00:31:57.779 --> 00:31:58.179
 sins

00:31:58.179 --> 00:31:58.559
 and

00:31:58.559 --> 00:31:59.119
 Jesus

00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:01.259
 capitalizing

00:32:01.259 --> 00:32:01.519
 on that

00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:01.839
 moment

00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:02.279
 says

00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:02.980
 yes

00:32:02.980 --> 00:32:03.839
 I am

00:32:03.839 --> 00:32:04.139
 he

00:32:04.139 --> 00:32:05.519
 I will

00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:05.859
 forgive

00:32:05.859 --> 00:32:06.460
 sins

00:32:06.460 --> 00:32:07.339
 and I

00:32:07.339 --> 00:32:07.759
 will heal

00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:08.319
 this man

00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:09.079
 and you

00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:09.539
 will see

00:32:09.539 --> 00:32:09.819
 that I

00:32:09.819 --> 00:32:09.899
 have

00:32:09.899 --> 00:32:10.339
 authority

00:32:10.339 --> 00:32:10.899
 on earth

00:32:10.899 --> 00:32:11.779
 to forgive

00:32:11.779 --> 00:32:12.299
 sins

00:32:12.299 --> 00:32:12.819
 and to

00:32:12.819 --> 00:32:13.099
 heal

00:32:13.099 --> 00:32:13.779
 I

00:32:13.779 --> 00:32:13.940
 am

00:32:13.940 --> 00:32:14.359
 God

00:32:14.359 --> 00:32:15.659
 authority

00:32:15.660 --> 00:32:15.960
 over

00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:16.460
 sin

00:32:16.460 --> 00:32:17.340
 that's

00:32:17.340 --> 00:32:17.620
 me

00:32:17.620 --> 00:32:18.700
 he

00:32:18.700 --> 00:32:18.980
 has

00:32:18.980 --> 00:32:19.460
 authority

00:32:19.460 --> 00:32:19.779
 over

00:32:19.779 --> 00:32:20.300
 Moses

00:32:20.300 --> 00:32:21.060
 John

00:32:21.060 --> 00:32:21.600
 speaks

00:32:21.600 --> 00:32:22.240
 more

00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:22.400
 of

00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:22.720
 Moses

00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:22.940
 than

00:32:22.940 --> 00:32:23.140
 any

00:32:23.140 --> 00:32:23.340
 other

00:32:23.340 --> 00:32:23.779
 gospel

00:32:23.779 --> 00:32:24.800
 because

00:32:24.800 --> 00:32:26.380
 John

00:32:26.380 --> 00:32:26.700
 wants

00:32:26.700 --> 00:32:26.860
 his

00:32:26.860 --> 00:32:27.100
 readers

00:32:27.100 --> 00:32:27.259
 to

00:32:27.259 --> 00:32:27.560
 understand

00:32:27.560 --> 00:32:27.779
 that

00:32:27.779 --> 00:32:28.200
 Jesus

00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:28.620
 is

00:32:28.620 --> 00:32:29.040
 better

00:32:29.040 --> 00:32:29.560
 than

00:32:29.560 --> 00:32:29.759
 this

00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:30.080
 great

00:32:30.080 --> 00:32:30.340
 leader

00:32:30.340 --> 00:32:30.900
 Moses

00:32:30.900 --> 00:32:32.200
 John

00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:32.940
 chapter 5

00:32:32.940 --> 00:32:33.279

00:32:33.279 --> 00:32:33.900
 46

00:32:33.900 --> 00:32:34.560
 and 47

00:32:34.560 --> 00:32:35.880
 Jesus

00:32:35.880 --> 00:32:36.200
 says

00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:36.600
 if you

00:32:36.600 --> 00:32:36.980
 believed

00:32:36.980 --> 00:32:37.120
 in

 course

00:32:47.780 --> 00:32:48.120
 Jesus

00:32:48.120 --> 00:32:48.680
 also

00:32:48.680 --> 00:32:49.360
 has

00:32:49.360 --> 00:32:49.780
 authority

00:32:49.780 --> 00:32:50.080
 over

 John's

00:32:52.820 --> 00:32:53.440
 Abraham

00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:54.040

00:32:54.040 --> 00:32:54.700
 times

00:32:54.700 --> 00:32:56.860
 to help

00:32:59.580 --> 00:33:00.320
 Jesus

00:33:00.320 --> 00:33:01.240
 has

00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:01.560
 the

00:33:01.560 --> 00:33:02.000

00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:02.220
 that

00:33:02.220 --> 00:33:02.680
 comes

00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:03.100
 from

00:33:03.100 --> 00:33:03.580
 God

00:33:03.580 --> 00:33:04.200
 alone

00:33:04.200 --> 00:33:06.400
 Jesus

00:33:06.780 --> 00:33:07.160
 God

00:33:07.160 --> 00:33:09.000
 and so

00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:09.220
 these

00:33:09.220 --> 00:33:09.660
 Jews

00:33:09.660 --> 00:33:10.920
 standing

00:33:12.300 --> 00:33:13.140

00:33:13.140 --> 00:33:13.640
 fact

00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:14.040
 and

00:33:14.040 --> 00:33:14.500
 faith

00:33:14.500 --> 00:33:15.540
 are

00:33:15.540 --> 00:33:15.900
 coming

00:33:15.900 --> 00:33:16.180
 to the

00:33:16.180 --> 00:33:16.400
 point

00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:16.500
 of

00:33:16.500 --> 00:33:16.880
 decision

00:33:16.880 --> 00:33:17.620
 what

00:33:17.620 --> 00:33:18.019
 will

00:33:18.019 --> 00:33:18.160
 you

00:33:18.160 --> 00:33:18.560

00:33:19.320 --> 00:33:19.820
 Jesus

00:33:19.820 --> 00:33:21.860

00:33:21.860 --> 00:33:22.060
 Jesus

00:33:22.060 --> 00:33:22.380
 isn't

00:33:22.380 --> 00:33:22.700
 done

00:33:22.700 --> 00:33:23.300

00:33:23.300 --> 00:33:23.880
 continues

00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:24.259
 to

00:33:24.259 --> 00:33:24.580
 move

00:33:24.580 --> 00:33:24.740

00:33:51.799 --> 00:33:52.119
 sheep

00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:53.159
 we

00:33:53.159 --> 00:33:53.379
 saw

00:33:53.379 --> 00:33:53.720
 that

00:33:56.099 --> 00:33:56.279
 and

00:33:56.279 --> 00:33:56.440
 so

00:33:56.440 --> 00:33:56.579
 we

00:33:56.579 --> 00:33:56.759
 need

00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:06.019
 come

00:34:06.019 --> 00:34:06.799
 to

 God

00:34:11.759 --> 00:34:11.900
 has

00:36:32.280 --> 00:36:32.539
 fall

00:36:32.539 --> 00:36:32.960
 flat

00:36:32.960 --> 00:36:34.400
 because

00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:34.780
 of the

00:36:34.780 --> 00:36:35.360
 power

00:36:35.360 --> 00:36:36.099
 of

00:36:36.099 --> 00:36:36.680
 God

00:36:36.680 --> 00:36:37.380
 flowing

00:36:37.380 --> 00:36:38.099
 through

00:36:38.099 --> 00:36:38.660
 Jesus

00:36:38.660 --> 00:36:39.240
 Christ

00:36:39.240 --> 00:36:41.680
 helping

00:36:41.680 --> 00:36:42.139
 us to

00:36:42.139 --> 00:36:42.680
 understand

00:36:42.680 --> 00:36:43.920
 definitively

00:36:43.920 --> 00:36:44.940
 categorically

00:36:44.940 --> 00:36:45.539
 that he

00:36:45.539 --> 00:36:45.920
 is

00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:46.179
 who

00:36:46.179 --> 00:36:46.260
 he

00:36:46.260 --> 00:36:46.599
 claimed

00:36:46.599 --> 00:36:46.800
 to

00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:47.039
 be

00:36:47.039 --> 00:36:47.840
 he

00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:48.179
 is

00:36:48.179 --> 00:36:48.659
 Messiah

00:36:48.659 --> 00:36:49.639
 he

00:36:49.639 --> 00:36:49.840
 is

00:36:49.840 --> 00:36:50.220
 God

00:36:50.220 --> 00:36:52.659
 moving

00:36:52.659 --> 00:36:52.840
 to

 verse

00:36:53.000 --> 00:36:53.539
 29

00:36:53.539 --> 00:36:54.800
 it

00:36:54.800 --> 00:36:55.220
 continues

00:36:55.220 --> 00:36:55.500
 to

00:36:55.500 --> 00:36:55.740
 build

00:36:55.740 --> 00:36:55.880
 on

00:36:55.880 --> 00:36:56.360
 itself

00:36:56.360 --> 00:36:56.980
 it

00:36:56.980 --> 00:36:57.179
 says

00:36:57.179 --> 00:36:57.360
 my

00:36:57.360 --> 00:36:57.800
 father

00:36:57.800 --> 00:36:57.980
 who

00:36:57.980 --> 00:36:58.119
 has

00:36:58.119 --> 00:36:58.380
 given

00:36:58.380 --> 00:36:58.579
 them

00:36:58.579 --> 00:36:58.720
 to

00:36:58.720 --> 00:36:59.079
 me

00:36:59.079 --> 00:36:59.519
 is

00:36:59.519 --> 00:36:59.800
 greater

00:36:59.800 --> 00:36:59.980
 than

00:36:59.980 --> 00:37:00.280
 all

00:37:00.280 --> 00:37:01.200
 and

 no

00:37:01.480 --> 00:37:01.720
 one

00:37:01.720 --> 00:37:01.900
 is

00:37:01.900 --> 00:37:02.220
 able

00:37:02.220 --> 00:37:02.420
 to

00:37:02.420 --> 00:37:02.740
 snatch

00:37:02.740 --> 00:37:02.920
 them

00:37:02.920 --> 00:37:03.179
 out

00:37:03.179 --> 00:37:03.320
 of

00:37:03.320 --> 00:37:03.480
 my

 father's

00:37:04.019 --> 00:37:04.599

00:37:04.599 --> 00:37:05.740
 and

00:37:05.740 --> 00:37:05.860
 in

00:37:05.860 --> 00:37:06.059
 this

00:37:06.059 --> 00:37:06.480
 statement

00:37:06.480 --> 00:37:07.119
 Jesus

00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:07.360
 is

00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:07.800
 identifying

00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:08.380
 himself

00:37:08.380 --> 00:37:08.860
 with

00:37:09.400 --> 00:37:10.099
 and

00:37:10.099 --> 00:37:10.460
 says

00:37:10.460 --> 00:37:11.240
 essentially

00:37:11.240 --> 00:37:11.840
 he

00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:12.200
 is

00:37:12.200 --> 00:37:12.659
 equal

00:37:12.659 --> 00:37:13.220
 with

00:37:13.220 --> 00:37:13.619
 God

00:37:13.619 --> 00:37:15.219
 my

00:37:15.219 --> 00:37:15.559
 father

00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:15.679
 who

00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:15.779
 has

00:37:15.779 --> 00:37:16.000
 given

 them

00:37:16.420 --> 00:37:16.539
 to

 me

00:37:16.639 --> 00:37:16.759
 is

00:37:16.759 --> 00:37:16.980
 greater

00:37:16.980 --> 00:37:17.179
 than

00:37:17.179 --> 00:37:17.460
 all

00:37:17.460 --> 00:37:17.819
 and

00:37:17.819 --> 00:37:18.179
 I

00:37:18.179 --> 00:37:18.380
 am

00:37:18.380 --> 00:37:18.739
 equal

00:37:18.739 --> 00:37:19.059
 with

00:37:19.059 --> 00:37:19.319
 him

00:37:19.319 --> 00:37:20.440
 it

00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:20.819
 comes

00:37:20.819 --> 00:37:21.159
 front

00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:21.319
 and

00:37:21.319 --> 00:37:21.599
 center

00:37:21.599 --> 00:37:22.079
 in

00:37:23.819 --> 00:37:24.199
 17

00:37:24.199 --> 00:37:25.159
 Jesus

00:37:25.159 --> 00:37:25.460
 has

00:37:25.460 --> 00:37:25.659
 done

00:37:25.659 --> 00:37:25.880
 a

00:37:25.880 --> 00:37:26.519
 miracle

00:37:26.519 --> 00:37:26.759
 in

00:37:26.759 --> 00:37:26.859
 the

00:37:26.859 --> 00:37:27.159
 temple

00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:27.420
 on

00:37:27.420 --> 00:37:27.579
 the

00:37:27.579 --> 00:37:27.839
 Sabbath

00:37:27.839 --> 00:37:28.199
 day

00:37:28.199 --> 00:37:29.139
 and

00:37:29.139 --> 00:37:29.400
 the

00:37:29.400 --> 00:37:29.639
 Jews

00:37:29.639 --> 00:37:29.940
 again

00:37:29.940 --> 00:37:30.119
 are

00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:30.539
 grumbling

00:37:30.539 --> 00:37:31.739
 it

00:37:31.739 --> 00:37:31.900
 says

00:37:31.900 --> 00:37:32.039
 for

00:37:32.039 --> 00:37:32.259
 this

00:37:32.259 --> 00:37:32.579
 reason

00:37:32.579 --> 00:37:32.779
 the

00:37:32.779 --> 00:37:32.960
 Jews

00:37:32.960 --> 00:37:33.519
 persecuted

00:37:33.519 --> 00:37:33.880
 Jesus

00:37:33.880 --> 00:37:34.539
 and

00:37:34.539 --> 00:37:34.839
 sought

00:37:34.839 --> 00:37:35.019
 to

00:37:35.019 --> 00:37:35.199
 kill

00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:35.319
 him

00:37:35.319 --> 00:37:35.599
 because

00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:35.779
 he

00:37:35.779 --> 00:37:35.880
 had

00:37:35.880 --> 00:37:36.039
 done

00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:36.239
 these

00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:36.420
 things

00:37:36.420 --> 00:37:37.159
 on

00:37:37.159 --> 00:37:37.299
 the

00:37:37.299 --> 00:37:37.579
!

00:37:43.619 --> 00:37:49.319
 big deal!

00:37:49.319 --> 00:37:51.179
 Well

00:37:51.179 --> 00:37:51.880
 not to

00:37:51.880 --> 00:37:52.000
 the

00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:52.319
 Jews

00:37:52.319 --> 00:37:54.359
 therefore

00:37:54.359 --> 00:37:54.920
 it says

00:37:54.920 --> 00:37:55.699
 the Jews

00:37:55.699 --> 00:37:56.739
 sought all the

00:37:56.739 --> 00:37:57.099
 more to

00:37:57.099 --> 00:37:57.500
 kill him

00:37:57.500 --> 00:37:58.500
 because he

00:37:58.500 --> 00:37:59.059
 not only

00:37:59.059 --> 00:37:59.500
 broke the

00:37:59.500 --> 00:37:59.759
 Sabbath

00:37:59.759 --> 00:38:00.739
 but also

00:38:00.739 --> 00:38:01.420
 said that

00:38:01.420 --> 00:38:01.859
 God was

00:38:01.859 --> 00:38:02.099
 his

00:38:02.099 --> 00:38:02.559
 father

00:38:02.559 --> 00:38:03.420
 making

00:38:03.420 --> 00:38:04.119
 himself

00:38:04.119 --> 00:38:04.739
 equal

00:38:04.739 --> 00:38:05.539
 with

00:38:05.539 --> 00:38:06.099
 God

00:38:06.099 --> 00:38:08.679
 by

00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:09.199
 aligning

00:38:09.199 --> 00:38:09.819
 himself

00:38:09.819 --> 00:38:11.179
 relationally

00:38:11.179 --> 00:38:11.500
 to

00:38:11.500 --> 00:38:11.759
 God

00:38:11.759 --> 00:38:11.920
 the

00:38:11.920 --> 00:38:12.219
 father

00:38:12.219 --> 00:38:12.719
 saying

00:38:12.719 --> 00:38:12.900
 he

00:38:12.900 --> 00:38:13.059
 has

00:38:13.059 --> 00:38:13.380
 come

00:38:13.380 --> 00:38:13.619
 from

00:38:13.619 --> 00:38:13.920
 heaven

00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:15.119
 is

00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:15.259
 to

00:38:15.259 --> 00:38:15.539
 say

00:38:15.539 --> 00:38:15.719
 that

00:38:15.719 --> 00:38:15.819
 he

00:38:15.819 --> 00:38:15.960
 is

00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:16.259
 God

00:38:16.259 --> 00:38:18.019
 now

00:38:18.019 --> 00:38:18.279
 we

00:38:18.279 --> 00:38:19.299
 in

 our

00:38:19.980 --> 00:38:20.420
 and age

00:38:20.420 --> 00:38:20.679

00:38:20.679 --> 00:38:20.940
 see

00:38:20.940 --> 00:38:21.659
 snapshots

00:38:21.659 --> 00:38:21.659


00:38:21.659 --> 00:38:21.839

00:38:21.839 --> 00:38:22.179
 time

00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:27.880
 understood

00:38:27.880 --> 00:38:28.219
 that

 a

00:44:37.340 --> 00:44:37.940
 humanity

00:44:37.940 --> 00:44:38.460

00:44:41.380 --> 00:44:41.599
 can

00:44:41.599 --> 00:44:42.219
 sympathize

00:44:42.219 --> 00:44:42.400
 with

00:44:42.400 --> 00:44:42.519
 our

00:44:42.519 --> 00:44:42.900
 weaknesses

00:44:42.900 --> 00:44:42.900


00:44:44.400 --> 00:44:45.119
 Jesus

00:44:45.119 --> 00:44:45.779
 came

00:44:48.320 --> 00:44:48.980
 all

00:44:48.980 --> 00:44:49.500
 of the

00:44:49.500 --> 00:44:49.800
 Old

00:44:49.800 --> 00:44:50.179
 Testament

00:44:50.179 --> 00:44:50.719
 promises

00:44:51.840 --> 00:44:52.360
 Messiah

00:44:52.360 --> 00:44:52.699

00:44:52.880 --> 00:44:53.300
 come

00:44:53.300 --> 00:44:53.779

00:44:53.920 --> 00:44:54.259
 bring

00:44:54.259 --> 00:44:54.980
 deliverance

00:44:54.980 --> 00:44:55.519
 and

00:44:55.519 --> 00:44:55.779
 not

00:44:55.779 --> 00:44:56.179
 just

00:44:56.179 --> 00:44:56.900

00:44:56.900 --> 00:44:57.440
 nationally

00:44:57.440 --> 00:44:57.679
 but

00:44:57.679 --> 00:44:58.000
 most

00:44:58.000 --> 00:44:58.539
 importantly

00:44:58.539 --> 00:44:59.719
 deliverance

00:44:59.719 --> 00:45:00.480
 spiritually

00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:01.159
