00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.360
 Good morning, brothers and sisters.

00:00:03.020 --> 00:00:07.719
 What a joy it is and a privilege for me to be here with you.

00:00:08.279 --> 00:00:10.200
! For those of you who don't know me, my name is Tyler.

00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:11.200
! I'm one of the lay elders.

00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:16.980
 And it is a true delight and privilege to be able to bring you God's Word this morning.

00:00:18.820 --> 00:00:23.080
 Let's pray together, asking for the Lord's help before we begin.

00:00:24.460 --> 00:00:25.879
 Oh, Father in heaven,

00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:34.659
 like Moses, Lord, would Christ be lifted up like the bronze serpent?

00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:40.679
 Help Christ to be exalted, the risen and reigning King of the universe.

00:00:41.859 --> 00:00:48.859
 And Father, help me as an ambassador to bring this glad tiding, this message of reconciliation.

00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:52.439
 Would it go forth by the power of your Spirit?

00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:57.079
 And like a magnet, would you draw all people to yourself by the power of the Spirit?

00:00:57.939 --> 00:00:59.539
 Father, open eyes, open ears.

00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:04.200
 Father, help me to declare the glories of your majestic name.

00:01:05.219 --> 00:01:08.939
 I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

00:01:12.060 --> 00:01:15.259
 Friends, let me ask you a question.

00:01:15.260 --> 00:01:21.060
 If you could have a conversation with Jesus, what would it be about?

00:01:21.859 --> 00:01:23.040
 What would you talk to him about?

00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:28.820
 Maybe if you're here and you're a scientist, you think,

00:01:28.980 --> 00:01:34.640
 Jesus, you're the sovereign Lord, the creator of heaven and earth, things visible and invisible.

00:01:35.620 --> 00:01:37.980
 Jesus, how exactly did you create the universe?

00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:39.300
 Start at the very beginning.

00:01:39.299 --> 00:01:46.679
 Maybe for some of you, your life feels like a puzzle scattered on the floor,

00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:49.719
 and you'd like his help to put the pieces together,

00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:55.079
 to help you understand where the dark puzzle pieces of your life fit in the overall picture.

00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:02.239
 Now, one fascinating conversation that we see with Jesus is with Nicodemus,

00:02:02.739 --> 00:02:04.759
 the passage that George read for us earlier.

00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:10.140
 Nicodemus wanted to have a conversation with Jesus about religion.

00:02:11.420 --> 00:02:13.120
 Jesus, what's it all about?

00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:15.480
 Help me put the pieces together.

00:02:16.980 --> 00:02:23.540
 Nicodemus was an older man, a learned one, an influential one, a student, a scholar even in the scriptures.

00:02:25.340 --> 00:02:30.099
 But there was a gap between his credentials and his comprehension.

00:02:31.099 --> 00:02:33.980
 He possessed knowledge, yes, but he lacked something.

00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:36.539
 And he was at a point of personal crisis.

00:02:37.739 --> 00:02:40.939
 He wanted to discuss ultimate things of reality.

00:02:41.379 --> 00:02:44.099
 Jesus, what is religion really all about?

00:02:45.579 --> 00:02:47.079
 And he came to Jesus by night.

00:02:47.780 --> 00:02:50.340
 And the context tells you all you need to know.

00:02:51.539 --> 00:02:53.840
 He says in verse 2 of John chapter 3,

00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:55.739
 He says,

00:02:55.739 --> 00:02:57.939
 Jesus, we know you are a teacher come from God.

00:02:57.939 --> 00:03:03.819
 And Jesus, with the skill of a trained physician, diagnoses Nicodemus immediately.

00:03:04.740 --> 00:03:06.919
 And he tells him of his greatest need.

00:03:07.859 --> 00:03:11.479
 Nicodemus, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.159
 Everything you've achieved is not enough.

00:03:15.819 --> 00:03:17.560
 You lack this one thing.

00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:19.780
 You must be born anew.

00:03:19.780 --> 00:03:23.419
 Now, I'm sure at this point, Nicodemus' head is spinning.

00:03:24.379 --> 00:03:25.300
 He's confused.

00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:28.199
 He asks the question, how can these things be?

00:03:29.460 --> 00:03:30.599
 Jesus explains further.

00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:32.319
 But still, he doesn't understand.

00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:34.360
 He lacks comprehension.

00:03:35.340 --> 00:03:39.740
 But then in verse 14, Jesus picks up an analogy to help explain.

00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:42.979
 One that Nicodemus no doubt was familiar with.

00:03:43.500 --> 00:03:45.500
 Verse 14, Jesus says this,

00:03:45.500 --> 00:03:50.780
 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up.

00:03:51.699 --> 00:03:54.020
 That whoever believes in him may have eternal life.

00:03:56.919 --> 00:04:00.620
 Now, Jesus was comparing his own death on the cross to this story.

00:04:00.699 --> 00:04:04.219
 As Moses lifted up the serpents, the Son of Man must be lifted up.

00:04:05.780 --> 00:04:07.439
 Now, that's a risky story.

00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:09.139
 It's pretty shocking.

00:04:09.900 --> 00:04:13.020
 Jesus, why would you compare yourself to a snake?

00:04:13.020 --> 00:04:15.939
 You sure you want to go there?

00:04:16.939 --> 00:04:18.579
 There are other places in the Old Testament.

00:04:18.740 --> 00:04:20.460
 Why compare yourself to a serpent?

00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:25.379
 Maybe this would be an analogy that would make Nicodemus even more confused.

00:04:26.939 --> 00:04:36.639
 Friend, the snake, the serpent, on a pole was such good news that Jesus needed Nicodemus to understand this reality.

00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:46.099
 What was this story, and why was it so important to understand, to truly grasp what spirituality, what religion, what Jesus was really all about?

00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:52.500
 Well, let me invite you to open your Bible to Numbers chapter 21 as we look at this story together.

00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:55.399
 It's page 120 of the Pew Bible.

00:04:55.399 --> 00:05:03.199
 And if you're not familiar with the Bible, the big numbers are the chapter numbers, and the smaller numbers are the verse numbers.

00:05:03.979 --> 00:05:09.120
 And it will help you to follow along to have your Bible open as we look together.

00:05:10.620 --> 00:05:12.779
 And we're going to be looking at this text in three parts.

00:05:14.139 --> 00:05:16.419
 Point number one will be the rebellion of God's people.

00:05:17.339 --> 00:05:18.459
 Point number two, the remedy.

00:05:19.339 --> 00:05:22.199
 And point number three, the road to glory.

00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:25.959
 So let's read the first nine verses together in chapter 21.

00:05:31.779 --> 00:05:32.860
 God's Word says this.

00:05:33.779 --> 00:05:41.000
 When the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the Negev, heard that Israel was coming by the way of Atherim,

00:05:41.259 --> 00:05:44.099
 he fought against Israel and took some of them captive.

00:05:45.620 --> 00:05:48.060
 And Israel vowed a vow to the Lord and said,

00:05:48.060 --> 00:05:53.980
 If you will indeed give this people into my hand, then I will devote their cities to destruction.

00:05:55.259 --> 00:05:58.579
 And the Lord heeded the voice of Israel and gave over the Canaanites.

00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:01.720
 And they devoted them and their cities to destruction.

00:06:02.500 --> 00:06:04.000
 So the name of the place was Hormah.

00:06:05.340 --> 00:06:09.120
 And from Mount Hor they set out by the way to the Red Sea to go around the land of Edom.

00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:12.759
 And the people became impatient on the way.

00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:16.519
 And the people spoke against Moses and against God.

00:06:17.579 --> 00:06:21.959
 Why have you brought us out of Egypt to die in the wilderness?

00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:26.319
 For there is no food and there is no water, and we loathe this worthless food.

00:06:27.099 --> 00:06:29.519
 And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people,

00:06:29.719 --> 00:06:33.879
 and they bit the people so that many people of Israel died.

00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:36.719
 And the people came to Moses and said,

00:06:36.939 --> 00:06:39.740
 We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against you.

00:06:40.379 --> 00:06:43.060
 Pray to the Lord that he take away the serpents from us.

00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:45.100
 So Moses prayed for the people.

00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:47.060
 And the Lord said to Moses,

00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:50.139
 Make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole.

00:06:50.659 --> 00:06:54.800
 And everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.

00:06:56.379 --> 00:06:59.100
 So Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on a pole.

00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:03.759
 And if a serpent bit anyone, he would look at the bronze serpent and live.

00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:05.939
 Oh, this is God's word.

00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:07.019
 Let's stop there.

00:07:08.980 --> 00:07:12.779
 Well, if you're new here, we've been going through the book of Numbers,

00:07:13.579 --> 00:07:17.019
 which is a story of the people's journey into the promised land.

00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:20.399
 To situate ourselves in the story thus far,

00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:25.659
 remember in Exodus, God saves his people in Egypt from slavery,

00:07:26.500 --> 00:07:29.480
 fulfilling the promise he made to Abraham 400 years earlier.

00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:33.120
 Through 10 devastating and astonishing plagues,

00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:37.040
 he delivers them with his mighty arm and his outstretched hands.

00:07:37.899 --> 00:07:42.720
 In Numbers, he brings the people to the edge of the promised land.

00:07:43.540 --> 00:07:46.899
 And this is the moment they've been waiting for.

00:07:47.459 --> 00:07:50.180
 The door is open and it's time to go in.

00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:55.139
 But in Numbers chapter 14, the people, they get cold feet.

00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:57.079
 They don't trust God.

00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:59.680
 They accuse him of conspiring to murder them in the wilderness.

00:08:00.899 --> 00:08:03.339
 And the people in the land, they say, are stronger and taller.

00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:04.899
 They're powerful warriors.

00:08:05.300 --> 00:08:06.800
 They have walls to the sky.

00:08:07.139 --> 00:08:08.079
 We can't defeat them.

00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:09.719
 Let's go back to Egypt.

00:08:10.539 --> 00:08:11.680
 Forget about what God has said.

00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:14.259
 There's no way we can do this.

00:08:14.259 --> 00:08:20.300
 And how dishonoring those words were to God.

00:08:20.819 --> 00:08:22.800
 God had said he would protect them.

00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:25.139
 He would fight their battles.

00:08:25.620 --> 00:08:28.579
 And yes, humanly speaking, they had absolutely no chance.

00:08:29.099 --> 00:08:32.159
 They were a bunch of farmers with pitchforks and shovels

00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:35.840
 against a legion of well-trained Spartan warriors, as it were.

00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:37.580
 There's no way they're going to win.

00:08:37.580 --> 00:08:43.540
 Unless, of course, you had a much more powerful warrior fighting on your behalf.

00:08:44.300 --> 00:08:46.340
 They failed to put their faith in the promise.

00:08:46.860 --> 00:08:49.759
 And the door that was open, God slams that door shut.

00:08:50.379 --> 00:08:54.680
 And God punishes them by their wandering 40 years in the wilderness.

00:08:55.900 --> 00:08:58.480
 The children will enter the promised land,

00:08:58.540 --> 00:09:01.280
 but only until the old generation has died.

00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:04.700
 Now we come to chapter 21, and this is the turning point.

00:09:04.700 --> 00:09:09.560
 Because remember, last week, the old generation is now dead.

00:09:10.340 --> 00:09:11.160
 Remember chapter 20?

00:09:11.620 --> 00:09:12.379
 Miriam dies.

00:09:13.160 --> 00:09:13.940
 Aaron dies.

00:09:14.680 --> 00:09:16.280
 Moses isn't going in with them.

00:09:16.920 --> 00:09:20.220
 The people are weeping by the end of chapter 20 and verse 29.

00:09:20.400 --> 00:09:23.400
 The old generation is now dead.

00:09:24.060 --> 00:09:27.700
 The new generation now has their eyes set on the promised land.

00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:34.480
 So let's begin by looking at this astonishing scene with the bronze serpents.

00:09:35.040 --> 00:09:38.960
 And it seems so important that Jesus needed Nicodemus to understand this.

00:09:39.860 --> 00:09:41.540
 Let's look at the people's rebellion.

00:09:41.660 --> 00:09:42.440
 That's point number one.

00:09:42.740 --> 00:09:43.720
 Look down at verse 4.

00:09:44.280 --> 00:09:45.600
 It says, the people set out again.

00:09:46.500 --> 00:09:49.340
 But then we see an all-too-familiar pattern.

00:09:49.500 --> 00:09:51.000
 Same story, different chapter.

00:09:51.340 --> 00:09:53.560
 The people start complaining.

00:09:54.340 --> 00:09:56.340
 They start grumbling.

00:09:57.560 --> 00:10:01.460
 Delicious bread, remember, has been raining from the sky in the manna.

00:10:01.460 --> 00:10:05.560
 Yet they say, we detest this loathsome food.

00:10:05.680 --> 00:10:06.200
 It's worthless.

00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:09.620
 You know, parents, it's like kids at dinnertime.

00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:12.379
 This food is worthless.

00:10:13.620 --> 00:10:15.560
 I guess they wanted some variety in their diet.

00:10:16.259 --> 00:10:17.900
 I mean, they had been eating it for 40 years.

00:10:18.500 --> 00:10:19.580
 At this point, they were tired.

00:10:20.300 --> 00:10:21.540
 They were tired of the manna.

00:10:21.539 --> 00:10:30.240
 But now there's a biblical way to bring our cares, our concerns, even our complaints to God.

00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:32.579
 The Psalms teach us how to do this.

00:10:33.139 --> 00:10:35.159
 The Bible calls this to lament.

00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:41.600
 They could have said, God, we are tired of this bread.

00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:46.299
 We are thirsty, weary, we're hungry.

00:10:46.980 --> 00:10:48.959
 We long to be in the promised land.

00:10:49.339 --> 00:10:51.459
 How long, O Lord?

00:10:51.539 --> 00:10:52.379
 Give us relief.

00:10:53.819 --> 00:10:54.759
 Father, we trust you.

00:10:55.939 --> 00:10:56.939
 Bring us relief.

00:10:58.219 --> 00:10:59.919
 But that's not what they do, is it?

00:11:00.620 --> 00:11:02.459
 Instead, they shake their fists at heaven.

00:11:03.460 --> 00:11:06.040
 God's grace is taken for granted.

00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:09.040
 God's faithfulness and His grace are nothing to them.

00:11:09.280 --> 00:11:09.720
 It's worthless.

00:11:12.620 --> 00:11:15.040
 Well, friends, how often are we like Israel?

00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:22.240
 You know, I wonder what the hardships you're facing and how you've responded to those hardships.

00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:26.320
 And, of course, life has unexpected challenges, doesn't it?

00:11:27.100 --> 00:11:31.940
 A desire to be married, a finding yourself single, crying kids.

00:11:32.700 --> 00:11:35.379
 Not being able to have kids, disobedient kids.

00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:37.300
 Pain from an aging body.

00:11:38.340 --> 00:11:39.600
 Not having the job you need.

00:11:40.500 --> 00:11:43.820
 Having a job, but then having a boss who always seems out to get you.

00:11:44.780 --> 00:11:46.300
 Having a job and not being recognized.

00:11:47.220 --> 00:11:52.759
 Instead of bringing those concerns and cares to God, we find ourselves shaking our fists at God, don't we?

00:11:54.019 --> 00:11:55.420
 God, what you've given us is worthless.

00:11:55.419 --> 00:11:59.740
 Friend, do we lament or do we sinfully complain?

00:12:01.319 --> 00:12:04.479
 No, I guess we all find reasons to complain, don't we?

00:12:04.740 --> 00:12:05.539
 You know the feeling.

00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:06.479
 It's never enough.

00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:08.599
 Always jumping from one thing to another.

00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:10.639
 And complaining is the water we drink.

00:12:11.259 --> 00:12:12.000
 It's the air we breathe.

00:12:12.099 --> 00:12:15.059
 I mean, what would we talk about with other people if we didn't complain about our circumstances?

00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:19.860
 Friend, complaining is much more dangerous than we think.

00:12:19.860 --> 00:12:24.680
 And we see that sinful desire blinds us to the reality as it really is.

00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:29.419
 Because what is God's response to complaining while it's judgment?

00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:33.240
 God says, this is blasphemy.

00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:35.419
 In verse 10, He says, you all get snakes.

00:12:36.539 --> 00:12:39.320
 God is saying, you've taken my grace for granted.

00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:41.940
 Here's what life is like in the wilderness.

00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:46.820
 And He sends in venomous snakes in His anger, in His wrath.

00:12:46.820 --> 00:12:50.640
 And the text calls them fiery serpents in verse 6.

00:12:51.400 --> 00:12:53.980
 Other translations call them venomous snakes.

00:12:54.860 --> 00:12:58.720
 And the reason they're called fiery is what happened when they bit you.

00:12:59.900 --> 00:13:02.920
 When you were bit, the snake would inject its venom.

00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:07.400
 And your body would begin to burn like fire because of a scorching fever.

00:13:08.500 --> 00:13:10.160
 Now, we don't know what kind of snake it is.

00:13:10.260 --> 00:13:13.540
 Is it a black mamba, a king cobra, a venomous viper?

00:13:14.160 --> 00:13:16.340
 Either way, these snakes are deadly.

00:13:16.820 --> 00:13:19.080
 This is terrifying.

00:13:19.820 --> 00:13:21.220
 This should alarm you.

00:13:22.580 --> 00:13:27.080
 You know, growing up in Arizona, I remember being on a nature hike in the wild.

00:13:28.220 --> 00:13:30.980
 And then I heard the rattle of a venomous rattlesnake.

00:13:31.520 --> 00:13:33.940
 It's a way of saying, stay away before I bite you.

00:13:34.740 --> 00:13:35.879
 Now, I don't mess with snakes.

00:13:36.379 --> 00:13:39.760
 I ran as fast as I could doing a beeline back to base camp.

00:13:40.040 --> 00:13:41.100
 I was terrified.

00:13:41.100 --> 00:13:43.920
 But here, there was nowhere for them to run.

00:13:44.860 --> 00:13:47.580
 You know, imagine for a second the terror of the people for just a moment.

00:13:48.460 --> 00:13:52.440
 The venomous serpents are entering the camp and coming for them.

00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:55.440
 The camp is with two million people, almost a city.

00:13:55.740 --> 00:13:56.519
 There are no walls.

00:13:56.779 --> 00:13:57.540
 They live in tents.

00:13:57.539 --> 00:13:59.759
 And they're sleeping.

00:13:59.879 --> 00:14:05.980
 The snakes slither into their tent unnoticed and then plunge their venomous fangs into a part of your body.

00:14:07.079 --> 00:14:09.159
 And as more people are bitten, many are dying.

00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:12.899
 So you can imagine the fear begins to spread like wildfire in the camp.

00:14:12.899 --> 00:14:16.019
 And the people cried out to Moses in verse 7,

00:14:16.459 --> 00:14:20.360
 We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against you.

00:14:21.100 --> 00:14:23.539
 Pray to the Lord that he take away the serpents from us.

00:14:24.579 --> 00:14:26.860
 And then Moses intercedes for them as he often does.

00:14:27.500 --> 00:14:29.699
 You know, as a quick aside, good for Moses here.

00:14:30.659 --> 00:14:36.019
 After everything we saw that happened in chapter 20, God tells him, look, you're not going in with them.

00:14:36.340 --> 00:14:37.659
 And yet he's not mailing it in.

00:14:38.100 --> 00:14:39.620
 There's no lame duck leadership here.

00:14:39.939 --> 00:14:42.000
 He still is interceding for the people.

00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:43.080
 Good for him.

00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:46.980
 And then God tells Moses to give them a remedy.

00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:48.559
 That's point number two.

00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:50.620
 The remedy after the rebellion.

00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:54.960
 Now God in his wisdom doesn't take the serpents away.

00:14:55.759 --> 00:15:00.240
 He commands Moses to make a replica of the serpent and then put it on a pole.

00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:03.120
 He says, spread the message throughout the entire camp.

00:15:03.779 --> 00:15:04.799
 And there are millions of people.

00:15:05.460 --> 00:15:08.740
 Spread a message to everyone that whenever someone is bitten by the serpent

00:15:08.740 --> 00:15:11.379
 and looks at the bronze serpent God,

00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:12.740
 he will heal them.

00:15:16.019 --> 00:15:17.419
 You know, imagine how this would work.

00:15:18.179 --> 00:15:20.159
 A man, let's call him Issachar.

00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:23.500
 He's in the camp.

00:15:23.980 --> 00:15:27.219
 And then he goes into his tents and he's rummaging around.

00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:29.039
 And these aren't rattlesnakes.

00:15:29.139 --> 00:15:30.539
 There's no warning before they attack.

00:15:31.259 --> 00:15:34.579
 And underneath a pile of his clothes, one of these serpents lunges at him

00:15:34.579 --> 00:15:36.459
 and plunges his fangs into the man's wrist.

00:15:38.219 --> 00:15:40.000
 The man starts to feel confused.

00:15:41.439 --> 00:15:42.079
 He's sweating.

00:15:42.500 --> 00:15:44.000
 He feels feverish.

00:15:44.139 --> 00:15:46.120
 He starts to feel sick inside.

00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:48.700
 How long do I have to live, he thinks to himself.

00:15:48.820 --> 00:15:49.720
 He's not sure.

00:15:50.779 --> 00:15:52.120
 You know, he knows he has a problem.

00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:55.220
 And just that morning, he heard this strange message.

00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:58.820
 Look at the bronze serpent and you will live.

00:15:58.820 --> 00:16:03.920
 But then his mind begins to flood with doubt.

00:16:06.140 --> 00:16:11.280
 He thinks to himself, this whole bronze serpent thing is ridiculous.

00:16:12.580 --> 00:16:13.980
 All this is nonsense.

00:16:14.220 --> 00:16:15.100
 It's foolishness.

00:16:15.500 --> 00:16:16.240
 How can it be?

00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:20.340
 A bronze serpent lifted up on a pole will cure me of my wounds?

00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:22.159
 What, with a glance?

00:16:22.899 --> 00:16:23.480
 It's impossible.

00:16:24.139 --> 00:16:29.100
 Who in their right mind would, when they're bitten by a snake, would believe such a thing?

00:16:30.259 --> 00:16:32.500
 And it's just the means, but the material itself.

00:16:33.580 --> 00:16:37.240
 We have to understand, this is a shocking image to use in that culture.

00:16:38.259 --> 00:16:39.659
 He thinks to himself, a snake?

00:16:40.220 --> 00:16:40.659
 Really?

00:16:41.820 --> 00:16:42.919
 It's not even gold.

00:16:42.980 --> 00:16:43.580
 It's bronze.

00:16:43.659 --> 00:16:44.120
 It's worthless.

00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:46.539
 The man thinks, I hate snakes.

00:16:47.259 --> 00:16:49.379
 Why would I look at a snake?

00:16:49.700 --> 00:16:53.259
 Why would God want me to look at this disgusting image?

00:16:54.419 --> 00:16:55.179
 Snakes are filthy.

00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:57.039
 They're unclean.

00:16:57.799 --> 00:16:58.539
 They're killers.

00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:01.820
 They've killed countless people.

00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:03.480
 They represent what?

00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:04.519
 They represent evil.

00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:05.779
 They represent the curse.

00:17:07.500 --> 00:17:11.299
 You know, preparing, I was trying to think of something in our culture that we would find

00:17:11.299 --> 00:17:11.980
 reprehensible.

00:17:11.980 --> 00:17:16.779
 Something or someone with a loathsome reputation.

00:17:17.620 --> 00:17:18.539
 Now, I have to be careful here.

00:17:20.099 --> 00:17:24.579
 But I suppose it's like if someone put up a huge billboard at the center of New Haven

00:17:24.579 --> 00:17:27.819
 with a picture of Jeffrey Epstein at one of his parties.

00:17:29.299 --> 00:17:33.640
 You know, imagine in that picture for a second, you see Jesus there in close proximity to Jeffrey

00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:34.019
 Epstein.

00:17:35.460 --> 00:17:37.079
 Caption, Jesus, friend of sinners.

00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:41.759
 Point being, you need to identify with Jeffrey Epstein if you are to come to Jesus.

00:17:42.500 --> 00:17:43.179
 That would be a scandal.

00:17:44.439 --> 00:17:48.799
 A loathsome creature with a loathsome reputation.

00:17:49.220 --> 00:17:54.199
 God put an image that was detestable in their culture on a billboard, a banner.

00:17:54.980 --> 00:17:56.319
 That's what the word pole means.

00:17:56.599 --> 00:17:57.819
 A banner, a billboard.

00:17:58.339 --> 00:18:03.779
 Lift up this image high on a pole as the only means of deliverance from this deadly disease.

00:18:03.779 --> 00:18:06.639
 So what does Iskar do?

00:18:07.460 --> 00:18:11.200
 He thinks to himself, I'm too smart for this superstitious nonsense.

00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:13.799
 And so he takes the matter into his own hands.

00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:16.160
 Maybe he tries to suck the poison out of his leg.

00:18:17.220 --> 00:18:18.940
 Maybe he has a friend that has some medical training.

00:18:20.619 --> 00:18:22.119
 Well, maybe he can just sleep it off.

00:18:22.180 --> 00:18:23.819
 He'll feel better tomorrow, he thinks to himself.

00:18:24.139 --> 00:18:25.740
 I don't need to look at the serpent.

00:18:25.740 --> 00:18:28.799
 And if I'm not feeling better, then I'll look at the serpent then.

00:18:30.140 --> 00:18:32.920
 But that night, Iskar, he drops dead.

00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:37.420
 Imagine another person, let's call her Rachel.

00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:41.279
 She's not as antagonistic, but she is presumptuous.

00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:44.420
 One night, Rachel is sleeping, and then in the middle of the night,

00:18:44.539 --> 00:18:48.259
 a snake plunges its venomous fangs right into her calf.

00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:51.380
 Rachel thinks to herself, I've heard the message.

00:18:51.380 --> 00:18:55.980
 But, you know, I've lived a pretty good moral life, haven't I?

00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:57.880
 I've brought my offerings this year.

00:18:58.060 --> 00:19:00.380
 I can recite the truth as good as any Israelites.

00:19:01.280 --> 00:19:03.320
 In fact, my mom and dad looked at the serpent.

00:19:04.460 --> 00:19:07.500
 And if God was going to heal anyone, he'll heal me.

00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:08.800
 I'll even pray about it tonight.

00:19:10.460 --> 00:19:11.960
 But that night, she drops dead.

00:19:12.500 --> 00:19:15.620
 She did not personally look at the serpent herself.

00:19:16.320 --> 00:19:17.780
 Verse 6 says many people died.

00:19:18.540 --> 00:19:20.060
 Many died.

00:19:20.059 --> 00:19:24.059
 Countless people had the opportunity and chose not to.

00:19:25.740 --> 00:19:30.099
 Whether it's pride, presumption, procrastination, they all perished.

00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:32.259
 They died from their unbelief.

00:19:33.639 --> 00:19:35.799
 But now, imagine for a moment, another man is bitten.

00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:38.480
 He feels weak.

00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:41.919
 He cannot even see straight.

00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:44.419
 He's not sure if he can get himself out of bed.

00:19:45.299 --> 00:19:48.359
 A friend sees his condition and reminds him of the promise.

00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:51.719
 Anyone who looks to the bronze serpent will live.

00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:56.039
 A friend urges him to look and live, look and live.

00:19:56.719 --> 00:19:58.059
 He thinks about that promise.

00:19:58.059 --> 00:20:01.899
 He's heard about what God has done.

00:20:01.980 --> 00:20:03.460
 He believes that God is real.

00:20:05.220 --> 00:20:06.940
 And then he believes the word spoken.

00:20:07.500 --> 00:20:10.159
 He took it by faith that this would heal him.

00:20:10.419 --> 00:20:12.879
 So with the help of a friend, he staggers out of his bed.

00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:14.019
 He goes outside.

00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:16.240
 He looks at the bronze serpent.

00:20:17.379 --> 00:20:20.399
 He sees it shining, glistening in the sun.

00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:23.740
 Then God in his grace heals him.

00:20:24.560 --> 00:20:27.380
 He trusted in the promise God had given.

00:20:29.900 --> 00:20:30.880
 Let's take a step back.

00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:34.080
 What is God doing here in this new generation?

00:20:35.220 --> 00:20:39.340
 Well, you see, God is dividing those bitten by serpents into two categories, isn't he?

00:20:39.339 --> 00:20:44.539
 Those who look will not perish, and those who do not look are condemned.

00:20:44.659 --> 00:20:45.139
 They will die.

00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:51.439
 He's separating those in Israel, those who have faith and those who do not.

00:20:53.059 --> 00:20:54.059
 Friend, what about us?

00:20:54.099 --> 00:20:54.519
 What about you?

00:20:54.599 --> 00:20:55.099
 What about me?

00:20:56.919 --> 00:21:00.639
 Do we recognize our need and put our faith in the promise?

00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:07.480
 You see, it's not just Israel under this judgment, but the whole world stands under God's judgment.

00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:09.799
 But Jesus made that very clear.

00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:12.620
 The wrath of God remains on those outside of Christ.

00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:17.000
 John 3, verse 36, whoever believes in the Son has eternal life.

00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:19.920
 Whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life.

00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:22.740
 But the wrath of God remains on him.

00:21:24.360 --> 00:21:27.700
 And just like Israel, God is not indifferent to our sin.

00:21:28.660 --> 00:21:30.259
 You see, God made us in his image.

00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:37.400
 He created you and I to enjoy him supremely, to love him, to trust him, to be in relationship.

00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:41.700
 But we have sinned against this good God, just like the Israelites.

00:21:42.539 --> 00:21:45.059
 And what do you think is more likely to kill you, friend?

00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:48.460
 A venomous snake bite or sin?

00:21:49.940 --> 00:21:54.779
 See, sin is laced with poison that will kill you and me, left untreated.

00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:59.500
 And there's no remedy that we can come up with for this problem of God's wrath.

00:21:59.660 --> 00:22:01.140
 We can't work out our own cure.

00:22:01.140 --> 00:22:06.800
 Before looking, friend, you must know that you and I have this venom running through your veins.

00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:10.920
 The venom of sin which will lead to death and hell.

00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:15.160
 Now, you might not feel a scorching fever in your body from a venomous snake bite.

00:22:15.900 --> 00:22:18.880
 But left to ourselves, our sin will ruin us.

00:22:19.840 --> 00:22:23.500
 And you might say to yourself, I don't feel myself to be in any desperate need at all.

00:22:23.500 --> 00:22:25.640
 Well, I'm quite fine, thank you.

00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:31.119
 But, friend, that only shows you that your wounds are the more deep and deadly.

00:22:32.259 --> 00:22:34.740
 You know, ask a doctor if they've ever met someone who appeared healthy

00:22:34.740 --> 00:22:38.700
 but was unaware of a deadly disease that had gone undiagnosed.

00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:44.460
 Friend, you suffer from the same pride and presumption that killed many in Israel that day.

00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:47.880
 But, friend, there is good news.

00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:51.640
 Because God's mercy is held out to you today.

00:22:52.260 --> 00:22:56.900
 Because does not the cross of Christ ensure the same benefit to those who look to him?

00:22:57.500 --> 00:22:59.260
 Isn't there a perfect congruence?

00:22:59.320 --> 00:23:01.220
 Did you see it, what Jesus came to do?

00:23:02.040 --> 00:23:03.820
 Think again to John 3, verse 14.

00:23:03.820 --> 00:23:07.260
 As Moses lifted up the serpents in the wilderness,

00:23:07.740 --> 00:23:10.080
 so the Son of Man must be lifted up,

00:23:10.520 --> 00:23:12.980
 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.

00:23:12.980 --> 00:23:19.559
 And as John read, what follows is perhaps the most famous verse in the Bible, John 3, 16.

00:23:20.599 --> 00:23:22.579
 For God so loved the world.

00:23:23.120 --> 00:23:26.360
 Meaning, it doesn't mean that God loved the world so, so, so, so much.

00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:28.120
 He does. His love is limitless.

00:23:28.380 --> 00:23:28.799
 It's infinite.

00:23:29.740 --> 00:23:33.400
 But what it means is that God loved the world in this same way.

00:23:35.160 --> 00:23:38.839
 God shows his love by, just like the serpent in the wilderness,

00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:41.120
 God shows his love by sending his Son.

00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:44.000
 That whoever believes, whoever looks to the Son,

00:23:44.339 --> 00:23:46.500
 would not perish but have eternal life.

00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:48.639
 If you look, you will live.

00:23:49.539 --> 00:23:51.039
 Now, friend, that's good news, is it not?

00:23:51.439 --> 00:23:54.159
 Because Jesus, 2,000 years ago, fully God and fully man,

00:23:54.359 --> 00:23:56.619
 he came and lived a perfect life.

00:23:57.619 --> 00:23:58.839
 You see, he never sinned.

00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:03.399
 Every single thought was a perfect, God-glorifying thought.

00:24:03.479 --> 00:24:04.939
 He never sinfully complained.

00:24:05.639 --> 00:24:07.619
 But despite never sinning, he goes to a cross.

00:24:08.159 --> 00:24:09.779
 He went as a substitute.

00:24:09.779 --> 00:24:13.139
 And just like that bronze serpent, Jesus was lifted up.

00:24:13.539 --> 00:24:15.160
 Lifted up on a cross.

00:24:15.660 --> 00:24:18.180
 And the image of a snake is no accident.

00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:21.339
 Because on the cross, he became a curse.

00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:24.039
 He became the image of a snake.

00:24:25.019 --> 00:24:28.139
 Paul says God made him to be sin.

00:24:29.420 --> 00:24:33.259
 The one was, he was cursed, and he was lifted up in full view.

00:24:33.259 --> 00:24:37.359
 Oh, friend, he bore the wrath that we deserved.

00:24:37.420 --> 00:24:38.019
 Do you see that?

00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:41.140
 On the third day, he rose from the dead.

00:24:41.819 --> 00:24:44.900
 The Son of Man was lifted up after his resurrection.

00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:48.420
 He was lifted up in his exaltation and his ascension.

00:24:48.579 --> 00:24:50.619
 Lifted up to the Father's right hands.

00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:53.740
 And as Moses told the people, I say to you this morning,

00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:55.799
 look to him and you will live.

00:24:56.500 --> 00:24:57.900
 Look to him by faith.

00:24:58.200 --> 00:24:59.900
 See Christ lifted up.

00:24:59.900 --> 00:25:00.220
 Look.

00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:03.200
 See that his work glistening, shining in the sun.

00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:06.820
 The Holy Spirit gives us eyes to see the glory of Christ.

00:25:07.820 --> 00:25:08.940
 See the cure, friend.

00:25:09.040 --> 00:25:10.320
 Look and live.

00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:13.080
 Do you see the greatness and glory of this great love?

00:25:14.019 --> 00:25:17.420
 Do you see this as foolishness, stumbling block?

00:25:18.860 --> 00:25:21.460
 Friend, pray the Spirit will give you eyes to see the glory of Christ.

00:25:21.460 --> 00:25:23.539
 Because this is the wisdom of God.

00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:27.299
 Jesus is the healing and rescue from the poison of sin and the wrath to come.

00:25:27.940 --> 00:25:29.259
 And all you need to do is look.

00:25:29.860 --> 00:25:31.920
 Whoever believes in him will have eternal life.

00:25:32.460 --> 00:25:34.480
 It's for the rich and the poor, the young and the old.

00:25:34.900 --> 00:25:36.720
 It's for sinners the size of Goliath.

00:25:37.700 --> 00:25:39.720
 No matter what your past, no matter what you've done,

00:25:39.840 --> 00:25:42.779
 all you must do is look and you will live.

00:25:44.299 --> 00:25:45.539
 And the cure isn't just for Israel.

00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:46.319
 It's for the whole world.

00:25:46.799 --> 00:25:49.480
 It's for a multitude that no one can number from every tribe, tongue, and nation.

00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:55.559
 Now there's a man who heard this story, this message, and it changed his life.

00:25:56.360 --> 00:25:59.380
 It was January 6, 1850.

00:26:01.019 --> 00:26:05.420
 A 15-year-old young man was on his way to church in Essex, England.

00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:08.360
 And then a fierce blizzard set in.

00:26:09.319 --> 00:26:12.339
 It was so severe that he had to turn on a side street,

00:26:12.660 --> 00:26:14.460
 and he went into the first church that he saw.

00:26:15.460 --> 00:26:18.400
 He wasn't a Christian, but he was despairing and in darkness.

00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:24.599
 And the preacher he heard that day was a lay preacher, an uneducated man.

00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:26.120
 He couldn't even pronounce the words correctly.

00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:29.599
 But during that storm, God would change this man's life,

00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:32.019
 and through him, the lives of millions of people.

00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:34.000
 The man was Charles Spurgeon.

00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:38.240
 Let me share this story in Spurgeon's own words.

00:26:38.980 --> 00:26:42.759
 As he's sitting there in this chapel of 13 to 15 people,

00:26:43.019 --> 00:26:44.380
 and this lay preacher comes up.

00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:46.120
 Spurgeon writes this.

00:26:46.119 --> 00:27:16.099
 He says,

00:27:16.119 --> 00:27:46.119


00:27:46.119 --> 00:27:46.799
 Look to Christ.

00:27:48.379 --> 00:27:48.919
 Christ says,

00:27:49.059 --> 00:27:49.500
 Look to me.

00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:51.019
 Some of you,

00:27:51.139 --> 00:27:52.539
 we look into the spirits working.

00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:54.839
 Ah, you have no business with that just now.

00:27:55.119 --> 00:27:55.879
 Look to Christ.

00:27:56.239 --> 00:27:56.979
 The text says,

00:27:57.239 --> 00:27:57.799
 Look unto me.

00:27:58.699 --> 00:28:00.799
 Then the good man followed up his text in this way.

00:28:01.059 --> 00:28:01.659
 Look unto me.

00:28:01.739 --> 00:28:03.479
 I am sweating great drops of blood.

00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:04.659
 Look unto me.

00:28:04.719 --> 00:28:06.199
 I am hanging on a cross.

00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:06.959
 Look,

00:28:07.099 --> 00:28:08.019
 I am dead and buried.

00:28:08.339 --> 00:28:08.879
 Look unto me.

00:28:08.939 --> 00:28:09.899
 I rise again.

00:28:10.239 --> 00:28:10.819
 Look unto me.

00:28:10.879 --> 00:28:11.399
 I ascend.

00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:13.540
 I am sitting at the Father's right hand.

00:28:13.740 --> 00:28:13.920
 Oh,

00:28:13.980 --> 00:28:14.660
 look to me.

00:28:14.860 --> 00:28:15.560
 Look to me.

00:28:17.860 --> 00:28:20.720
 When he had gone about that length and managed to spend about ten minutes,

00:28:20.820 --> 00:28:21.800
 he was at the end of his tether,

00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:22.560
 Spurgeon writes.

00:28:23.380 --> 00:28:24.680
 Then he looked at me under the gallery,

00:28:24.780 --> 00:28:25.280
 and I dare say,

00:28:25.340 --> 00:28:26.080
 with so few present,

00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:27.460
 he knew me to be a stranger.

00:28:27.579 --> 00:28:27.960
 He then said,

00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:28.379
 Young man,

00:28:29.379 --> 00:28:30.319
 you look very miserable.

00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:32.659
 Well, I did,

00:28:32.740 --> 00:28:36.220
 but I had not been accustomed to have remarks made on my personal appearance from the pulpit before.

00:28:37.539 --> 00:28:38.879
 However, it was a good blowstruck.

00:28:39.359 --> 00:28:39.879
 He continued,

00:28:40.199 --> 00:28:41.859
 And you will always be miserable.

00:28:42.500 --> 00:28:45.279
 Miserable in life and miserable in death if you do not obey my text.

00:28:45.659 --> 00:28:47.079
 If you obey now this moment,

00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:48.419
 you will be saved.

00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:49.960
 Then lifting up his hands,

00:28:50.019 --> 00:28:52.000
 he shouted as only a primitive Methodist could do.

00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:52.659
 Young man,

00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:53.279
 look to Christ.

00:28:53.659 --> 00:28:53.839
 Look,

00:28:53.980 --> 00:28:54.119
 look,

00:28:54.220 --> 00:28:54.399
 look.

00:28:54.400 --> 00:28:56.180
 You have nothing to do but to look and live.

00:28:59.220 --> 00:29:03.880
 God uses the foolishness to accomplish his good purposes, does he not?

00:29:04.340 --> 00:29:06.080
 I saw at once the way of salvation.

00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:08.019
 I know not what else he said.

00:29:08.080 --> 00:29:09.560
 I did not take much notice of it.

00:29:09.820 --> 00:29:12.000
 I was so possessed with that one thought.

00:29:12.420 --> 00:29:14.880
 Like as when the brazen serpent was lifted up,

00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:17.100
 the people only looked and were healed.

00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:18.200
 So was with me.

00:29:18.780 --> 00:29:20.160
 I had been waiting to do fifty things,

00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:21.560
 but then I heard the word look.

00:29:21.780 --> 00:29:23.420
 What a charming word it seemed to me.

00:29:23.420 --> 00:29:24.140
 Oh,

00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:26.900
 I looked until I could have looked my eyes away.

00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:29.000
 There and then the cloud was gone.

00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:30.840
 The darkness rolled away.

00:29:31.240 --> 00:29:32.560
 In that moment I saw the sun,

00:29:32.860 --> 00:29:34.340
 and I could have risen that instant

00:29:34.340 --> 00:29:36.400
 and sung with the most enthusiastic with them

00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:38.320
 of the precious blood of Christ

00:29:38.320 --> 00:29:40.880
 and the simple faith which looks alone to him.

00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:43.300
 Friend,

00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:44.440
 learn from this example.

00:29:45.800 --> 00:29:47.500
 Some of you want to do fifty things.

00:29:48.700 --> 00:29:49.140
 Friend,

00:29:49.140 --> 00:29:50.060
 do this one thing.

00:29:51.020 --> 00:29:51.240
 Look.

00:29:52.860 --> 00:29:53.220
 Look.

00:29:53.940 --> 00:29:54.259
 Look.

00:29:54.600 --> 00:29:54.800
 Look.

00:29:54.800 --> 00:29:56.320
 That is faith, friend.

00:29:57.460 --> 00:29:58.400
 As one person said,

00:29:59.060 --> 00:30:00.800
 faith is grace

00:30:00.800 --> 00:30:02.580
 where the eye looks,

00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:04.060
 the hand grafts,

00:30:04.300 --> 00:30:05.700
 the mouth that feeds upon Christ.

00:30:05.840 --> 00:30:06.980
 All you need to do is look.

00:30:08.700 --> 00:30:10.800
 And he not only shows us his nail-scarred hands,

00:30:10.900 --> 00:30:11.540
 he promises

00:30:11.540 --> 00:30:13.660
 to take you into his arms.

00:30:14.560 --> 00:30:14.940
 Jesus says,

00:30:15.040 --> 00:30:15.640
 whoever comes to me,

00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:16.560
 I will never cast out

00:30:16.560 --> 00:30:17.840
 if you just look to him.

00:30:19.860 --> 00:30:20.860
 Now that's just point number two,

00:30:21.340 --> 00:30:21.800
 the remedy.

00:30:21.980 --> 00:30:23.300
 And as amazing as that is,

00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:24.300
 you know,

00:30:24.320 --> 00:30:25.259
 for the original audience,

00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:26.740
 that wasn't the most important part

00:30:26.740 --> 00:30:27.220
 of this chapter.

00:30:28.220 --> 00:30:29.900
 Because if you look at the Old Testament authors

00:30:29.900 --> 00:30:31.900
 as they look at Numbers chapter 21,

00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:33.120
 what they grab

00:30:33.120 --> 00:30:34.980
 isn't the bronze serpent primarily.

00:30:36.220 --> 00:30:38.120
 What they're looking at

00:30:38.120 --> 00:30:39.820
 is God conquering kings

00:30:39.820 --> 00:30:41.620
 and bringing the people into the land.

00:30:41.820 --> 00:30:43.600
 So let's consider that point together.

00:30:44.300 --> 00:30:44.920
 Point number three,

00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:46.620
 the road to glory.

00:30:48.740 --> 00:30:49.700
 And what we see

00:30:49.700 --> 00:30:50.620
 in the rest of this chapter

00:30:50.620 --> 00:30:52.220
 is that God can win

00:30:52.220 --> 00:30:54.480
 impossible battles.

00:30:55.660 --> 00:30:56.400
 Now remember,

00:30:56.560 --> 00:30:57.740
 Israel has suffered defeat

00:30:57.740 --> 00:30:59.300
 and now Israel begins to march

00:30:59.300 --> 00:30:59.980
 to victory

00:30:59.980 --> 00:31:01.060
 to take the promised land.

00:31:01.320 --> 00:31:02.240
 Go back to verse one.

00:31:02.900 --> 00:31:04.440
 The first battle begins.

00:31:05.380 --> 00:31:06.240
 The chapter begins

00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:06.840
 with a conflict

00:31:06.840 --> 00:31:08.140
 with the Canaanite king,

00:31:08.220 --> 00:31:09.120
 the king of Arad.

00:31:09.500 --> 00:31:10.800
 He fought against Israel

00:31:10.800 --> 00:31:12.060
 and they suffer a setback.

00:31:12.580 --> 00:31:13.500
 Some are taken captives.

00:31:13.500 --> 00:31:14.980
 What would they do?

00:31:15.740 --> 00:31:17.220
 Would they go back to Egypt

00:31:17.220 --> 00:31:18.460
 like their parents wanted to?

00:31:19.019 --> 00:31:19.339
 No.

00:31:19.880 --> 00:31:20.700
 No, they made a vow

00:31:20.700 --> 00:31:21.759
 to the Lord in verse two.

00:31:22.140 --> 00:31:23.619
 Lord, if you give these people

00:31:23.619 --> 00:31:24.420
 into our hand,

00:31:24.859 --> 00:31:26.200
 we will destroy them.

00:31:26.940 --> 00:31:28.380
 They asked for divine help.

00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:30.079
 Their prayer went up

00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:31.400
 and God's help

00:31:31.400 --> 00:31:32.460
 powerfully came down.

00:31:32.539 --> 00:31:32.960
 Verse three,

00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:35.099
 the Lord heeded the voice of Israel

00:31:35.099 --> 00:31:37.679
 and gave over the Canaanites.

00:31:38.599 --> 00:31:39.519
 And the battle is won

00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:41.259
 because of their own efforts?

00:31:41.740 --> 00:31:43.199
 No, it's because God is with them.

00:31:43.659 --> 00:31:44.059
 Verse three,

00:31:44.119 --> 00:31:45.759
 they call the place Hormah,

00:31:45.859 --> 00:31:47.079
 which means destruction.

00:31:47.699 --> 00:31:48.919
 That was literally the case.

00:31:49.459 --> 00:31:51.000
 But the name is significance.

00:31:51.679 --> 00:31:53.379
 Because 38 years prior,

00:31:53.879 --> 00:31:54.699
 when the people refused

00:31:54.699 --> 00:31:55.639
 to go into the land,

00:31:55.699 --> 00:31:57.459
 when the people got cold feet,

00:31:57.740 --> 00:31:59.539
 they experienced a great defeat.

00:32:00.019 --> 00:32:02.099
 And that place was called Hormah.

00:32:02.099 --> 00:32:04.099
 Now, this is the way of saying,

00:32:04.219 --> 00:32:05.379
 look, the tide has turned.

00:32:05.899 --> 00:32:07.199
 The people were destroyed

00:32:07.199 --> 00:32:08.259
 38 years earlier,

00:32:08.399 --> 00:32:09.179
 but now the Israelites

00:32:09.179 --> 00:32:10.659
 are marching toward victory.

00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:12.599
 And the rest of these kings

00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:13.759
 of this chapter

00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:15.059
 are telling the same story.

00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:17.179
 Israel is conquering.

00:32:17.599 --> 00:32:18.240
 You see that with

00:32:18.240 --> 00:32:19.459
 Sion of the Amorites

00:32:19.459 --> 00:32:20.959
 and Aga of Bashan.

00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:22.059
 Look at verse 21.

00:32:23.159 --> 00:32:24.699
 They ask if they can pass through.

00:32:24.779 --> 00:32:25.439
 In verse 23,

00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:26.719
 they get an answer, no.

00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:28.519
 Same answer as Edom.

00:32:29.619 --> 00:32:30.379
 Israel is like,

00:32:30.459 --> 00:32:31.319
 yeah, we're going through.

00:32:32.099 --> 00:32:34.079
 In verses 21 to 26,

00:32:34.919 --> 00:32:36.519
 King Sion is defeated.

00:32:37.559 --> 00:32:38.240
 In verse 21,

00:32:38.679 --> 00:32:39.599
 Israel defeated him

00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:40.539
 with the edge of the sword

00:32:40.539 --> 00:32:42.500
 and took possession of his land.

00:32:42.699 --> 00:32:43.919
 They're marching to victory,

00:32:44.019 --> 00:32:44.980
 to the promised land.

00:32:45.980 --> 00:32:46.879
 You see the same pattern

00:32:46.879 --> 00:32:48.559
 in verse 31 to 34.

00:32:49.459 --> 00:32:50.059
 You look down,

00:32:50.159 --> 00:32:52.619
 Israel defeats the mighty King Og.

00:32:53.419 --> 00:32:54.659
 The Lord tells the people

00:32:54.659 --> 00:32:56.199
 to not fear in verse 34.

00:32:56.439 --> 00:32:57.419
 Do not fear him,

00:32:58.459 --> 00:33:00.019
 for I have given him into your hands

00:33:00.019 --> 00:33:01.579
 and all his people

00:33:01.579 --> 00:33:02.139
 and his land.

00:33:02.339 --> 00:33:03.359
 And you shall do to him

00:33:03.359 --> 00:33:04.180
 as you did to Sion,

00:33:04.319 --> 00:33:05.079
 king of the Amorites,

00:33:05.139 --> 00:33:05.940
 who lived at Heshbon.

00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:10.139
 Now, why are these names important?

00:33:11.599 --> 00:33:12.879
 Well, remember when the Israelites

00:33:12.879 --> 00:33:14.579
 were afraid of battling the giants?

00:33:15.539 --> 00:33:16.680
 Friends, these are the giants.

00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:19.500
 These are the very giants

00:33:19.500 --> 00:33:20.759
 their parents were afraid of.

00:33:21.759 --> 00:33:22.579
 You know, King Og

00:33:22.579 --> 00:33:23.879
 literally was a giant.

00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:25.639
 He was like 12 feet tall.

00:33:26.440 --> 00:33:27.520
 In Deuteronomy chapter 3,

00:33:27.620 --> 00:33:28.440
 Moses says he slept

00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:29.340
 on an iron bed

00:33:29.340 --> 00:33:31.380
 13 and a half feet tall

00:33:31.380 --> 00:33:32.280
 and six feet wide.

00:33:33.180 --> 00:33:34.380
 The man was huge.

00:33:35.340 --> 00:33:36.020
 But God says,

00:33:36.220 --> 00:33:36.759
 don't fear them.

00:33:37.600 --> 00:33:38.820
 And he is teaching the people,

00:33:39.800 --> 00:33:39.920
 you know,

00:33:39.960 --> 00:33:42.060
 it's easy to hand over

00:33:42.060 --> 00:33:42.800
 these nations.

00:33:43.700 --> 00:33:44.860
 It's easy as for me, friends,

00:33:44.900 --> 00:33:45.900
 to hand over a pen to you.

00:33:46.740 --> 00:33:47.800
 These Goliath nations

00:33:47.800 --> 00:33:50.000
 are nothing before God.

00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:51.960
 They're a mere speck of dust

00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:53.140
 in the scales of history.

00:33:53.140 --> 00:33:54.940
 They are no match

00:33:54.940 --> 00:33:56.120
 for the living God.

00:33:56.620 --> 00:33:57.700
 And that's why this text

00:33:57.700 --> 00:33:58.759
 is so well remembered.

00:33:59.560 --> 00:34:00.580
 Because you can read

00:34:00.580 --> 00:34:02.880
 Psalm 135 and 136,

00:34:02.940 --> 00:34:03.759
 you can read that this afternoon.

00:34:04.259 --> 00:34:05.759
 These are songs of praise.

00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:07.880
 And the psalmist celebrates

00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:09.480
 the great acts

00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:11.019
 and great mighty works of God.

00:34:11.460 --> 00:34:12.340
 And he celebrates

00:34:12.340 --> 00:34:13.700
 the conquering of these kings.

00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:15.220
 That's how he knew

00:34:15.220 --> 00:34:16.860
 that God's love endured forever.

00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:18.680
 Or you can read

00:34:18.680 --> 00:34:20.059
 in Nehemiah chapter 9,

00:34:20.380 --> 00:34:21.400
 he prays and remembers

00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:22.780
 God giving Israel the land

00:34:22.780 --> 00:34:24.560
 and rehearses God's faithfulness.

00:34:24.900 --> 00:34:25.820
 And he remembers

00:34:25.820 --> 00:34:26.940
 these very victories

00:34:26.940 --> 00:34:28.300
 to help him remember

00:34:28.300 --> 00:34:29.260
 of God's faithfulness

00:34:29.260 --> 00:34:29.760
 to the people.

00:34:32.080 --> 00:34:32.560
 So, friend,

00:34:32.600 --> 00:34:33.140
 if you are here

00:34:33.140 --> 00:34:33.820
 and you are a Christian,

00:34:34.100 --> 00:34:35.140
 it's the same for us.

00:34:35.940 --> 00:34:37.500
 We are part of the present

00:34:37.500 --> 00:34:38.860
 but not yet kingdom of God.

00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:40.920
 You know, of course,

00:34:40.980 --> 00:34:41.540
 in the New Covenant,

00:34:41.700 --> 00:34:42.220
 God's kingdom

00:34:42.220 --> 00:34:44.080
 does not refer to a nation state

00:34:44.080 --> 00:34:46.140
 living within a geographic region.

00:34:46.840 --> 00:34:47.500
 Church, you are,

00:34:47.620 --> 00:34:48.840
 but you are a chosen people,

00:34:49.200 --> 00:34:49.940
 a holy nation,

00:34:50.040 --> 00:34:50.780
 a royal priesthood,

00:34:51.060 --> 00:34:52.400
 a people for God's own possession.

00:34:52.780 --> 00:34:54.460
 Our citizenship is in heaven.

00:34:55.580 --> 00:34:56.560
 And if you are in Christ,

00:34:56.640 --> 00:34:57.519
 just like God's people

00:34:57.519 --> 00:34:58.140
 in the Old Testament,

00:34:58.280 --> 00:34:59.680
 we are still journeying

00:34:59.680 --> 00:35:00.880
 to the promised land.

00:35:01.460 --> 00:35:02.420
 There is a battle

00:35:02.420 --> 00:35:03.780
 that needs to be fought.

00:35:04.300 --> 00:35:05.120
 There is a battle,

00:35:05.400 --> 00:35:06.040
 a spiritual war

00:35:06.040 --> 00:35:06.960
 that is being waged.

00:35:07.460 --> 00:35:09.460
 And we live in a fallen world

00:35:09.460 --> 00:35:09.920
 of flesh,

00:35:10.019 --> 00:35:10.720
 the world and the devil

00:35:10.720 --> 00:35:11.820
 rebelling against

00:35:11.820 --> 00:35:13.140
 the authority of God.

00:35:13.940 --> 00:35:14.800
 And this reality

00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:15.620
 has led the church

00:35:15.620 --> 00:35:18.160
 to speak of the church militant

00:35:18.160 --> 00:35:19.200
 in this present age.

00:35:19.199 --> 00:35:20.639
 The church is engaged

00:35:20.639 --> 00:35:21.099
 in a battle

00:35:21.099 --> 00:35:21.819
 as God builds,

00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:22.339
 expands,

00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:23.579
 and defends His kingdom

00:35:23.579 --> 00:35:24.139
 through the power

00:35:24.139 --> 00:35:24.859
 of the Holy Spirit.

00:35:26.139 --> 00:35:27.159
 But one day,

00:35:27.259 --> 00:35:28.239
 God will finish

00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:28.960
 what He starts.

00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:30.019
 One day,

00:35:30.059 --> 00:35:30.480
 the church

00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:32.039
 will be triumphant.

00:35:33.339 --> 00:35:33.699
 You see,

00:35:33.839 --> 00:35:34.579
 in the first part

00:35:34.579 --> 00:35:35.059
 of this chapter,

00:35:35.439 --> 00:35:36.239
 with the bronze serpent,

00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:37.299
 we see God

00:35:37.299 --> 00:35:38.239
 will show grace

00:35:38.239 --> 00:35:39.319
 and will heal

00:35:39.319 --> 00:35:40.000
 and deliver

00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:40.919
 His people from sin.

00:35:41.619 --> 00:35:42.659
 The rest of this chapter

00:35:42.659 --> 00:35:43.439
 shows that God

00:35:43.439 --> 00:35:44.599
 will, by His power,

00:35:45.059 --> 00:35:46.000
 keep His promises

00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:47.539
 and bring the people

00:35:47.539 --> 00:35:49.320
 into the promised land.

00:35:50.059 --> 00:35:51.500
 So the first part

00:35:51.500 --> 00:35:53.219
 is Christ's first coming.

00:35:53.699 --> 00:35:54.539
 And the second part

00:35:54.539 --> 00:35:56.579
 is Christ's second coming.

00:35:57.800 --> 00:35:58.059
 Brother,

00:35:58.119 --> 00:35:58.820
 He will finish

00:35:58.820 --> 00:35:59.820
 the work that He starts.

00:36:00.219 --> 00:36:01.099
 He will finish it.

00:36:01.820 --> 00:36:02.400
 Romans 8

00:36:02.400 --> 00:36:05.139
 is the great Mount Everest

00:36:05.139 --> 00:36:06.139
 of assurance.

00:36:07.579 --> 00:36:08.320
 Romans 8 begins

00:36:08.320 --> 00:36:09.440
 with no condemnation,

00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:11.579
 ends with no separation,

00:36:12.099 --> 00:36:12.579
 and in between,

00:36:12.900 --> 00:36:13.739
 there's no defeat

00:36:13.739 --> 00:36:14.500
 for the Christian.

00:36:15.179 --> 00:36:16.960
 God will bring us

00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:18.079
 to the promised land.

00:36:18.500 --> 00:36:19.260
 Even in trials,

00:36:19.340 --> 00:36:19.780
 there's nothing

00:36:19.780 --> 00:36:21.059
 that can separate you

00:36:21.059 --> 00:36:21.800
 from the love of God.

00:36:21.980 --> 00:36:22.539
 And just like

00:36:22.539 --> 00:36:23.179
 these Israelites,

00:36:23.619 --> 00:36:24.260
 is it not true

00:36:24.260 --> 00:36:24.820
 that we are more

00:36:24.820 --> 00:36:25.559
 than conquerors

00:36:25.559 --> 00:36:26.860
 through Him who loved us?

00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:28.099
 We fight.

00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:29.179
 We battle.

00:36:29.300 --> 00:36:30.380
 We will suffer setbacks

00:36:30.380 --> 00:36:31.500
 like the people of Israel did,

00:36:31.559 --> 00:36:32.840
 but we endure.

00:36:33.139 --> 00:36:34.280
 We march to victory

00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:35.579
 not in our own strength.

00:36:35.920 --> 00:36:37.079
 We march in the strength

00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:38.039
 that God supplies.

00:36:38.980 --> 00:36:39.659
 And as a Christian,

00:36:39.659 --> 00:36:41.659
 you march toward victory

00:36:41.659 --> 00:36:42.579
 with every believer

00:36:42.579 --> 00:36:43.780
 throughout the ages,

00:36:43.780 --> 00:36:45.320
 knowing that one day

00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:48.000
 we will experience triumph.

00:36:48.420 --> 00:36:50.200
 The church will be triumpent.

00:36:50.400 --> 00:36:52.120
 The outcome is secure.

00:36:54.460 --> 00:36:55.120
 So, friend,

00:36:55.140 --> 00:36:55.620
 let me ask you,

00:36:55.700 --> 00:36:56.240
 what are areas

00:36:56.240 --> 00:36:58.040
 that we rationally think

00:36:58.040 --> 00:36:59.260
 that God is not big enough

00:36:59.260 --> 00:37:00.720
 for Him to accomplish

00:37:00.720 --> 00:37:02.320
 when He calls us to do

00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:03.019
 as a church?

00:37:04.019 --> 00:37:04.860
 There is nothing

00:37:04.860 --> 00:37:06.460
 that will prevent God

00:37:06.460 --> 00:37:07.740
 from doing His work.

00:37:08.200 --> 00:37:09.320
 As Hudson Taylor says,

00:37:09.460 --> 00:37:10.240
 depend on it.

00:37:10.580 --> 00:37:12.420
 God's work done in God's way

00:37:12.420 --> 00:37:13.720
 will never lack God's supply.

00:37:16.079 --> 00:37:17.039
 And notice their posture

00:37:17.039 --> 00:37:17.579
 as they journey.

00:37:18.340 --> 00:37:19.480
 Look at verse 17.

00:37:20.340 --> 00:37:21.180
 In the wilderness journey,

00:37:21.340 --> 00:37:23.139
 God supplied their every need

00:37:23.139 --> 00:37:24.039
 and given them water.

00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:25.400
 And we see their hearts

00:37:25.400 --> 00:37:26.240
 are lifted up.

00:37:26.760 --> 00:37:28.059
 They're singing along the way.

00:37:29.980 --> 00:37:30.960
 Friend, they're singing

00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:32.059
 because God had given them

00:37:32.059 --> 00:37:32.780
 a small well.

00:37:34.159 --> 00:37:35.240
 You know, how mentally practical

00:37:35.240 --> 00:37:36.380
 is this for us today?

00:37:36.380 --> 00:37:38.079
 You know, if you find yourself

00:37:38.079 --> 00:37:39.059
 in the wilderness

00:37:39.059 --> 00:37:40.659
 coming out of time of pain,

00:37:40.840 --> 00:37:42.139
 of sorrow, of trial,

00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:43.639
 friend, what are the wells

00:37:43.639 --> 00:37:44.119
 in your life

00:37:44.119 --> 00:37:45.219
 that you can thank God for?

00:37:46.460 --> 00:37:47.259
 Yeah, that would be

00:37:47.259 --> 00:37:48.480
 a great thing for us

00:37:48.480 --> 00:37:49.460
 to help each other see

00:37:49.460 --> 00:37:50.559
 in our trials.

00:37:51.099 --> 00:37:52.139
 Helping each other see

00:37:52.139 --> 00:37:53.400
 those wells in our lives.

00:37:54.059 --> 00:37:54.539
 We can say,

00:37:54.599 --> 00:37:55.659
 Lord, I see you in that.

00:37:56.219 --> 00:37:57.639
 Thank you for providing for me.

00:37:57.799 --> 00:37:58.519
 I praise you

00:37:58.519 --> 00:37:59.299
 for your faithfulness

00:37:59.299 --> 00:38:00.799
 for giving me this well.

00:38:01.759 --> 00:38:02.920
 Friend, we sing songs

00:38:02.920 --> 00:38:04.579
 to remember God's faithfulness.

00:38:05.019 --> 00:38:05.960
 And that's our posture

00:38:05.960 --> 00:38:06.779
 as pilgrims

00:38:06.779 --> 00:38:08.139
 to the promised land.

00:38:08.139 --> 00:38:09.079
 And one day,

00:38:09.420 --> 00:38:10.199
 God will deliver

00:38:10.199 --> 00:38:11.679
 everything he's promised.

00:38:11.799 --> 00:38:12.460
 Verse 45,

00:38:13.619 --> 00:38:14.819
 the last verse of the chapter

00:38:14.819 --> 00:38:16.339
 will end there.

00:38:16.779 --> 00:38:17.139
 It says,

00:38:17.460 --> 00:38:18.259
 they defeated him

00:38:18.259 --> 00:38:18.799
 and the sons

00:38:18.799 --> 00:38:19.679
 and all his people

00:38:19.679 --> 00:38:21.299
 until he had no survivor left.

00:38:21.579 --> 00:38:22.480
 And they possessed

00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:24.039
 his land.

00:38:24.539 --> 00:38:26.119
 God came through

00:38:26.119 --> 00:38:27.420
 on his promises.

00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:28.819
 God is faithful

00:38:28.819 --> 00:38:29.599
 to deliver

00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:30.440
 on what he said

00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:30.920
 he would do.

00:38:31.159 --> 00:38:32.480
 And we long for that day

00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:34.279
 as Revelation 11,

00:38:34.279 --> 00:38:35.179
 verse 15 says.

00:38:35.299 --> 00:38:35.879
 The kingdom of this

00:38:35.880 --> 00:38:37.220
 we'll sing

00:38:37.220 --> 00:38:38.320
 one final song

00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:40.160
 that's about

00:38:40.160 --> 00:38:41.960
 casting our eyes

00:38:41.960 --> 00:38:42.480
 on Jesus,

00:38:42.640 --> 00:38:43.220
 looking to him.

00:38:43.860 --> 00:38:44.559
 So if you're able,

00:38:44.680 --> 00:38:45.300
 please stand

00:38:45.300 --> 00:38:46.599
 and let's sing together.

00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759


00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:46.759
