00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.060
 The Reverend Dr. Alan Cole was a classical biblical scholar.

00:00:04.339 --> 00:00:04.960
 A biblical scholar.

00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:07.400
 He lectured at Oak Hill Theological College in London

00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:12.099
 and in Moore College in Sydney and Trinity College in Singapore.

00:00:12.900 --> 00:00:17.580
 He was a missionary, both with the China Inland Mission

00:00:17.580 --> 00:00:20.640
 and CMS in Southeast Asia.

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:25.100
 He was a founding master of Robert Menzies College

00:00:25.100 --> 00:00:26.240
 at Macquarie University

00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:30.139
 and one-time federal secretary of CMS in Australia.

00:00:30.479 --> 00:00:35.739
 He was a scholar of both Hebrew and Greek language.

00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:37.979
 He wrote three biblical commentaries,

00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:41.219
 one on Exodus, one on Galatians,

00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:42.619
 and one on Mark's gospel,

00:00:43.099 --> 00:00:45.159
 which has been a significant help for me

00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:47.579
 throughout this series on Mark.

00:00:47.780 --> 00:00:51.239
 I met Dr. Cole in 1997

00:00:51.239 --> 00:00:54.739
 while I was a student at Moore College.

00:00:54.740 --> 00:00:58.900
 Although I was totally unaware of who he was.

00:00:59.980 --> 00:01:04.099
 I was in a New Testament lecture on the book of Galatians,

00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:08.320
 a book that Dr. Cole had written a commentary on.

00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:11.740
 And I'd noticed on previous occasions

00:01:11.740 --> 00:01:15.840
 this elderly gentleman who sat at the back of the lecture room

00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:16.859
 taking notes.

00:01:16.859 --> 00:01:20.840
 And he didn't appear in any other lectures,

00:01:20.939 --> 00:01:23.819
 so I assume he wasn't a second-year Moore College student.

00:01:24.859 --> 00:01:26.760
 And it seemed a little strange

00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:28.840
 that to be a student,

00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:30.840
 that why was he there?

00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:31.680
 For me as a student,

00:01:31.819 --> 00:01:33.739
 why is this elderly gentleman there?

00:01:34.460 --> 00:01:35.719
 And in my view,

00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:37.340
 this is a little bit ironic,

00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:38.659
 but a little bit strange,

00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:39.659
 but in my view,

00:01:39.859 --> 00:01:41.359
 he resembled my lecturer.

00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:45.920
 And I just assumed that this elderly gentleman

00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:48.000
 was coming along encouraging his son

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:51.319
 as he lectured in this particular subject.

00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:52.260
 And so one day,

00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:53.599
 at this very same subject,

00:01:54.060 --> 00:01:55.340
 this elderly gentleman came in

00:01:55.340 --> 00:01:56.900
 and he sat beside me.

00:01:57.219 --> 00:02:00.019
 And I struck up a conversation with Dr. Cole,

00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:01.379
 unaware of who he was,

00:02:01.700 --> 00:02:04.019
 but my curiosity got the better of me

00:02:04.019 --> 00:02:05.180
 and I asked him,

00:02:05.659 --> 00:02:07.000
 why are you here?

00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.259
 I don't see you in anything else.

00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:09.919
 Why are you here?

00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:11.979
 And his response to me was,

00:02:12.300 --> 00:02:15.159
 I've had a long interest in the Greek language

00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.699
 and in Galatians particular.

00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:22.020
 And I, being totally clueless

00:02:22.020 --> 00:02:24.060
 and potentially the arrogance of youth,

00:02:25.219 --> 00:02:26.580
 I said something to him

00:02:26.580 --> 00:02:28.460
 that went something like this,

00:02:29.900 --> 00:02:31.719
 it's never too late to learn Greek.

00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:38.819
 And how personally encouraged I was

00:02:38.819 --> 00:02:41.280
 that someone of his stage of life

00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:42.599
 was choosing to pick it up.

00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:47.800
 Somewhat embarrassed

00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:50.579
 when the guy who was sitting beside me

00:02:50.579 --> 00:02:52.800
 over morning tea said,

00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:53.479
 you idiot,

00:02:54.139 --> 00:02:56.479
 do you have any idea who you were talking to?

00:02:56.819 --> 00:02:57.860
 None whatsoever.

00:02:58.479 --> 00:02:59.259
 None whatsoever.

00:02:59.259 --> 00:03:00.739
 I was in the presence

00:03:00.739 --> 00:03:03.579
 of one of the great disciples of the kingdom,

00:03:04.139 --> 00:03:05.399
 of the biblical scholarship,

00:03:05.679 --> 00:03:07.159
 the Greek language Galatians,

00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:09.359
 at no concept of who it was

00:03:09.359 --> 00:03:10.979
 that I was sitting beside in that moment.

00:03:12.620 --> 00:03:14.120
 And is that not the issue

00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:15.579
 as we've been journeying

00:03:15.579 --> 00:03:18.180
 through the first section of Mark's gospel,

00:03:18.459 --> 00:03:19.359
 first eight chapters?

00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:23.120
 Who is this Jesus who we're coming to?

00:03:23.180 --> 00:03:24.899
 Who is this person we're sitting beside?

00:03:26.139 --> 00:03:26.939
 And of course for us,

00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:27.759
 for the readers,

00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:31.280
 the very first sentence of Mark's gospel

00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:33.159
 answers the question for us.

00:03:33.679 --> 00:03:33.939
 It says,

00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:35.399
 the beginning of the good news

00:03:35.399 --> 00:03:36.819
 about Jesus the Messiah,

00:03:37.379 --> 00:03:38.560
 the Son of God.

00:03:40.579 --> 00:03:44.680
 Jesus is the especially anointed one of God

00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:47.519
 who has the task of redeeming the world

00:03:47.519 --> 00:03:49.519
 back to God.

00:03:50.259 --> 00:03:51.879
 And the very first words of Jesus

00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:53.560
 in his gospel make that clear.

00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:56.759
 The kingdom of God has come near.

00:03:56.759 --> 00:04:00.939
 God has broken into his world

00:04:00.939 --> 00:04:02.259
 in the person of Christ.

00:04:04.179 --> 00:04:06.599
 So we know who Jesus is,

00:04:06.699 --> 00:04:07.120
 the readers.

00:04:09.620 --> 00:04:11.439
 Now some of us here might remember

00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:14.519
 the American television series Columbo.

00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:17.420
 I say some of us

00:04:17.420 --> 00:04:19.620
 because it was in the 1970s and 80s.

00:04:19.620 --> 00:04:22.360
 It was a show that popularised,

00:04:23.259 --> 00:04:24.939
 the first of its kind in fact,

00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:27.620
 the inverted detective story.

00:04:29.019 --> 00:04:31.920
 Which begins by showing us the crime

00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:33.840
 and the perpetrator

00:04:33.840 --> 00:04:35.680
 right from the very start.

00:04:36.220 --> 00:04:38.319
 And the plot therefore doesn't run

00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:40.680
 on the standard whodunit plot

00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:41.860
 of Midsummer murders,

00:04:42.259 --> 00:04:43.100
 that sort of thing.

00:04:43.100 --> 00:04:45.980
 But instead revolves around the criminal

00:04:45.980 --> 00:04:48.580
 who is finally caught and exposed

00:04:48.580 --> 00:04:50.320
 and it is referred to as the

00:04:50.320 --> 00:04:51.560
 how catch them.

00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:54.720
 How you're going to catch them theme.

00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:57.280
 And this is exactly how Mark reads.

00:04:57.660 --> 00:04:59.320
 Mark makes it clear

00:04:59.320 --> 00:05:01.080
 who Jesus is

00:05:01.080 --> 00:05:03.060
 right from the very start

00:05:03.060 --> 00:05:03.640
 for the readers.

00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:07.579
 And then he reveals

00:05:07.579 --> 00:05:08.659
 the details

00:05:08.659 --> 00:05:09.800
 of Jesus

00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:11.519
 backing up the claim

00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:12.459
 of who he is.

00:05:13.259 --> 00:05:14.759
 And we're following the narrative

00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:15.360
 to find out

00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:16.959
 will people see Jesus

00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:17.959
 for who he is?

00:05:20.099 --> 00:05:21.240
 First five chapters

00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:22.139
 we're seeing that Jesus

00:05:22.139 --> 00:05:23.300
 is staggering

00:05:23.300 --> 00:05:25.360
 divine authority

00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:26.500
 to conquer Satan,

00:05:26.699 --> 00:05:27.560
 to forgive sins,

00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:28.459
 to heal the sick,

00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:28.919
 to tell

00:05:28.919 --> 00:05:31.259
 the sea,

00:05:31.379 --> 00:05:32.039
 the oceans,

00:05:32.219 --> 00:05:33.099
 to be calm

00:05:33.100 --> 00:05:34.280
 and the wind

00:05:34.280 --> 00:05:35.360
 to stop

00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:36.400
 and overcome death.

00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:38.120
 And later in this chapter

00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:39.100
 which we did get to

00:05:39.100 --> 00:05:39.840
 in our reading

00:05:39.840 --> 00:05:41.560
 he miraculously

00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:43.060
 feeds 5,000 people

00:05:43.060 --> 00:05:44.860
 with a boy's lunchbox

00:05:44.860 --> 00:05:45.280
 and then

00:05:45.280 --> 00:05:47.160
 he walks on water

00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:47.500
 in the middle

00:05:47.500 --> 00:05:48.660
 of this deep lake.

00:05:49.840 --> 00:05:51.200
 He is consistently

00:05:51.200 --> 00:05:52.400
 through this gospel

00:05:52.400 --> 00:05:53.160
 backing up

00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:53.860
 the claim

00:05:53.860 --> 00:05:55.060
 that Mark says

00:05:55.060 --> 00:05:55.520
 at the beginning

00:05:55.520 --> 00:05:56.920
 he is the Messiah,

00:05:57.340 --> 00:05:58.560
 the Son of God.

00:05:58.660 --> 00:05:59.520
 He's the rescuer

00:05:59.520 --> 00:06:00.720
 and he is the redeemer.

00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:02.980
 And in fact

00:06:02.980 --> 00:06:04.500
 the two big miracles

00:06:04.500 --> 00:06:06.720
 at the end of Mark 6

00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:07.340
 are reminiscent

00:06:07.340 --> 00:06:08.440
 of the big act

00:06:08.440 --> 00:06:09.140
 of salvation

00:06:09.140 --> 00:06:10.700
 in the Old Testament

00:06:10.700 --> 00:06:11.940
 the rescue of Egypt

00:06:11.940 --> 00:06:14.040
 the rescue of God's people

00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:14.860
 out of Egypt.

00:06:15.980 --> 00:06:16.820
 Three times

00:06:16.820 --> 00:06:18.000
 at the end of Mark 6

00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:18.760
 we are told

00:06:18.760 --> 00:06:19.180
 that they are

00:06:19.180 --> 00:06:20.480
 in a remote place

00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:22.160
 just like Israel

00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:23.100
 was in the wilderness

00:06:23.100 --> 00:06:25.160
 after the escape.

00:06:25.400 --> 00:06:26.540
 Jesus is the good shepherd

00:06:26.540 --> 00:06:27.700
 teaching and leading

00:06:27.700 --> 00:06:28.280
 his people

00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:28.919
 in the wilderness.

00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:30.699
 He miraculously

00:06:30.699 --> 00:06:31.399
 feeds

00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:32.699
 his people

00:06:32.699 --> 00:06:33.719
 just like

00:06:33.719 --> 00:06:35.019
 was in the wilderness

00:06:35.019 --> 00:06:36.319
 under Moses.

00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:38.379
 Jesus miraculously

00:06:38.379 --> 00:06:39.679
 crosses the lake

00:06:39.679 --> 00:06:41.099
 just like the Israelites

00:06:41.099 --> 00:06:42.159
 miraculously

00:06:42.159 --> 00:06:43.399
 cross through

00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:44.839
 the divided sea

00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:46.000
 with Moses

00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:46.939
 and Jesus

00:06:46.939 --> 00:06:47.779
 as it says

00:06:47.779 --> 00:06:49.359
 in verse 48

00:06:49.359 --> 00:06:50.139
 chapter 6

00:06:50.139 --> 00:06:51.759
 was passing by

00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:52.879
 his disciples.

00:06:53.019 --> 00:06:53.739
 His glory

00:06:53.739 --> 00:06:54.419
 was passing

00:06:54.419 --> 00:06:55.479
 by his disciples

00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:57.220
 just as God

00:06:57.220 --> 00:06:58.160
 passed by Moses

00:06:58.160 --> 00:06:58.600
 and revealed

00:06:58.600 --> 00:06:59.040
 his glory

00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:00.060
 in Exodus 33.

00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:03.580
 All this

00:07:03.580 --> 00:07:04.660
 is for the disciples

00:07:04.660 --> 00:07:05.400
 to see

00:07:05.400 --> 00:07:07.000
 to see

00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:07.640
 that Jesus

00:07:07.640 --> 00:07:08.660
 is

00:07:08.660 --> 00:07:10.080
 God

00:07:10.080 --> 00:07:11.700
 the Redeemer.

00:07:13.100 --> 00:07:13.500
 You see

00:07:13.500 --> 00:07:14.920
 Jesus and God

00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:16.480
 of the Exodus

00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:16.980
 events

00:07:16.980 --> 00:07:17.980
 are one and the same.

00:07:19.540 --> 00:07:20.360
 And the emphasis

00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:21.259
 in these chapters

00:07:21.259 --> 00:07:22.420
 is we must

00:07:22.420 --> 00:07:23.280
 see Jesus

00:07:23.280 --> 00:07:24.240
 for who he is.

00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:27.080
 it's not good

00:07:27.080 --> 00:07:27.480
 enough

00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:28.480
 to make

00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:29.140
 the statement

00:07:29.140 --> 00:07:30.000
 of

00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.500
 the earlier

00:07:32.500 --> 00:07:33.200
 chapters.

00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:34.480
 You see it

00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:35.160
 in chapter 3

00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:35.840
 a couple of weeks

00:07:35.840 --> 00:07:36.160
 ago

00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:36.819
 when Takeshi

00:07:36.819 --> 00:07:37.140
 and John

00:07:37.140 --> 00:07:37.700
 were preaching.

00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:39.180
 The religious leaders

00:07:39.180 --> 00:07:39.740
 thought Jesus

00:07:39.740 --> 00:07:40.620
 was bad.

00:07:41.280 --> 00:07:41.960
 His family

00:07:41.960 --> 00:07:42.560
 thought he was

00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:43.240
 mad.

00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:44.939
 The average

00:07:44.939 --> 00:07:45.400
 Australian

00:07:45.400 --> 00:07:46.080
 thinks he's

00:07:46.080 --> 00:07:47.300
 a good bloke.

00:07:48.460 --> 00:07:49.280
 Not good

00:07:49.280 --> 00:07:49.700
 enough.

00:07:49.699 --> 00:07:54.620
 Again in chapter 3

00:07:54.620 --> 00:07:55.300
 the Herodians

00:07:55.300 --> 00:07:56.199
 and the Pharisees

00:07:56.199 --> 00:07:57.699
 they plotted

00:07:57.699 --> 00:07:58.519
 to kill him.

00:07:59.039 --> 00:07:59.639
 They teamed up.

00:07:59.699 --> 00:08:00.279
 The Herodians

00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:01.839
 and the Pharisees

00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:02.639
 are like the left wing

00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:03.339
 and the right wing.

00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:03.959
 They don't agree

00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:04.800
 on anything.

00:08:05.599 --> 00:08:06.560
 But in this case

00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:07.019
 the only thing

00:08:07.019 --> 00:08:07.740
 they do agree on

00:08:07.740 --> 00:08:08.759
 that Jesus must go.

00:08:09.419 --> 00:08:10.019
 And it's not much

00:08:10.019 --> 00:08:10.819
 different as we see

00:08:10.819 --> 00:08:11.399
 in the beginning

00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:12.459
 of chapter 6 here

00:08:12.459 --> 00:08:13.240
 that Jesus

00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:13.819
 goes back

00:08:13.819 --> 00:08:14.459
 to his hometown

00:08:14.459 --> 00:08:15.439
 in Nazareth.

00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:17.139
 not as a

00:08:17.139 --> 00:08:18.399
 returning Olympian.

00:08:19.259 --> 00:08:20.759
 It says in verse 3

00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:21.480
 of chapter 6

00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:22.120
 they took

00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:23.120
 offense

00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:24.060
 at him.

00:08:24.740 --> 00:08:25.480
 So the religious

00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:26.040
 elite

00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:27.500
 the scholars

00:08:27.500 --> 00:08:28.060
 of the day

00:08:28.060 --> 00:08:28.839
 they took offense

00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:29.259
 of him

00:08:29.259 --> 00:08:30.480
 and then he goes

00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:31.199
 to Nazareth

00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:32.759
 which could be

00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:34.019
 called

00:08:34.019 --> 00:08:35.059
 Nowheresville.

00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:36.340
 It's a humble

00:08:36.340 --> 00:08:36.980
 little village

00:08:36.980 --> 00:08:37.559
 that is hardly

00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:38.500
 mentioned in history

00:08:38.500 --> 00:08:38.899
 at all.

00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:39.940
 Jesus is

00:08:39.940 --> 00:08:40.820
 its most famous

00:08:40.820 --> 00:08:41.360
 resident.

00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:43.179
 These are

00:08:43.179 --> 00:08:44.500
 grassroots people

00:08:44.500 --> 00:08:46.100
 who knew

00:08:46.100 --> 00:08:46.519
 Jesus

00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:47.460
 from a kid

00:08:47.460 --> 00:08:48.659
 and even

00:08:48.659 --> 00:08:49.480
 they're offended

00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:50.100
 by him.

00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:52.100
 The word

00:08:52.100 --> 00:08:52.539
 translated

00:08:52.539 --> 00:08:52.980
 offense

00:08:52.980 --> 00:08:53.639
 in verse 3

00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:54.100
 means that

00:08:54.100 --> 00:08:54.440
 they were

00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:55.399
 scandalized

00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:56.000
 by him.

00:08:57.179 --> 00:08:57.340
 You see

00:08:57.340 --> 00:08:57.600
 to be

00:08:57.600 --> 00:08:58.600
 scandalized

00:08:58.600 --> 00:08:59.440
 is not

00:08:59.440 --> 00:08:59.720
 just

00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:01.620
 we disagree

00:09:01.620 --> 00:09:02.340
 with Jesus

00:09:02.340 --> 00:09:03.379
 he's got

00:09:03.379 --> 00:09:03.919
 an inflated

00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:04.580
 view himself

00:09:04.580 --> 00:09:05.159
 nice bloke

00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:05.700
 but we disagree

00:09:05.700 --> 00:09:06.179
 with him.

00:09:06.980 --> 00:09:07.639
 It means

00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:08.639
 to totally

00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:09.700
 reject.

00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:11.720
 It means

00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:12.159
 to feel

00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:13.179
 hostility

00:09:13.179 --> 00:09:14.579
 towards

00:09:14.579 --> 00:09:15.439
 Jesus

00:09:15.439 --> 00:09:18.019
 yet

00:09:18.019 --> 00:09:18.339
 everywhere

00:09:18.339 --> 00:09:18.899
 he went

00:09:18.899 --> 00:09:19.319
 crowds

00:09:19.319 --> 00:09:19.739
 gathered

00:09:19.739 --> 00:09:22.359
 Jesus

00:09:22.359 --> 00:09:22.959
 both

00:09:22.959 --> 00:09:24.059
 mesmerized

00:09:24.059 --> 00:09:25.519
 and alienated

00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:27.439
 he attracted

00:09:27.439 --> 00:09:28.039
 and he

00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:29.099
 infuriated

00:09:29.099 --> 00:09:31.639
 he evokes

00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:32.479
 rejection

00:09:32.479 --> 00:09:33.779
 and hostility

00:09:33.779 --> 00:09:36.199
 he

00:09:36.199 --> 00:09:36.919
 scandalized

00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:37.819
 everyone

00:09:37.820 --> 00:09:40.660
 there's

00:09:40.660 --> 00:09:41.580
 no one

00:09:41.580 --> 00:09:41.800
 here

00:09:41.800 --> 00:09:41.980
 that's

00:09:41.980 --> 00:09:42.140
 not

00:09:42.140 --> 00:09:42.840
 scandalized

00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:43.040
 by

00:09:43.040 --> 00:09:43.620
 Jesus

00:09:43.620 --> 00:09:45.620
 but

00:09:45.620 --> 00:09:46.160
 all

00:09:46.160 --> 00:09:46.540
 for

00:09:46.540 --> 00:09:46.879
 different

00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:47.480
 reasons

00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:48.960
 you know

00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:49.320
 it's

00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:50.580
 the same

00:09:50.580 --> 00:09:50.940
 today

00:09:50.940 --> 00:09:51.220
 for

00:09:51.220 --> 00:09:51.720
 various

00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:51.960
 different

00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:52.260
 reasons

00:09:52.260 --> 00:09:52.540
 people

00:09:52.540 --> 00:09:52.660
 are

00:09:52.660 --> 00:09:53.080
 scandalized

00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:53.260
 by

00:09:53.260 --> 00:09:53.500
 Jesus

00:09:53.500 --> 00:09:53.780
 people

00:09:53.780 --> 00:09:54.140
 in the

00:09:54.140 --> 00:09:54.540
 east

00:09:54.540 --> 00:09:55.640
 and

00:09:55.640 --> 00:09:56.440
 eastern

00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:56.820
 suburbs

00:09:56.820 --> 00:09:57.180
 and northern

00:09:57.180 --> 00:09:57.460
 suburbs

00:09:57.460 --> 00:09:57.960
 of Sydney

00:09:57.960 --> 00:09:59.740
 are

00:09:59.740 --> 00:10:00.200
 kind of

00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:00.720
 okay

00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:01.080
 with

00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:01.540
 Jesus

00:10:01.540 --> 00:10:02.620
 and

00:10:02.620 --> 00:10:03.180
 Christianity

00:10:03.180 --> 00:10:04.139
 talking

00:10:04.139 --> 00:10:04.600
 about

00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:05.220
 love

00:10:05.220 --> 00:10:05.400
 and

00:10:05.400 --> 00:10:05.780
 forgiveness

00:10:05.780 --> 00:10:06.420
 and grace

00:10:06.420 --> 00:10:06.820
 we kind

00:10:06.820 --> 00:10:07.240
 of like

00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:08.040
 that aspect

00:10:08.040 --> 00:10:08.660
 of Christianity

00:10:08.660 --> 00:10:09.660
 love

00:10:09.660 --> 00:10:10.300
 forgiveness

00:10:10.300 --> 00:10:10.879
 grace

00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:11.860
 however

00:10:11.860 --> 00:10:12.320
 as soon

00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:12.580
 as you

00:10:12.580 --> 00:10:13.120
 talk

00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:13.820
 about

00:10:13.820 --> 00:10:14.360
 Jesus

00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:15.440
 being

00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:16.180
 the only

00:10:16.180 --> 00:10:16.560
 true

00:10:16.560 --> 00:10:16.900
 God

00:10:16.900 --> 00:10:17.420
 and saviour

00:10:17.420 --> 00:10:17.620
 of the

00:10:17.620 --> 00:10:17.980
 world

00:10:17.980 --> 00:10:19.720
 that's

00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:20.000
 when the

00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:20.200
 blood

00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:20.519
 pressure

00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:20.940
 starts

00:10:20.940 --> 00:10:21.680
 to rise

00:10:21.680 --> 00:10:23.660
 don't

00:10:23.660 --> 00:10:23.920
 cope

00:10:23.920 --> 00:10:24.400
 with that

00:10:24.400 --> 00:10:25.060
 at all

00:10:25.059 --> 00:10:27.679
 and yet

00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:29.099
 if we

00:10:29.099 --> 00:10:29.439
 plotted

00:10:29.439 --> 00:10:29.739
 picked

00:10:29.739 --> 00:10:30.139
 ourselves

00:10:30.139 --> 00:10:30.359
 up

00:10:30.359 --> 00:10:30.679
 now

00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:30.919
 and

00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:31.199
 move

00:10:31.199 --> 00:10:31.339
 to

00:10:31.339 --> 00:10:31.779
 traditional

00:10:31.779 --> 00:10:32.339
 culture

00:10:32.339 --> 00:10:32.919
 in the

00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:33.279
 in the

00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:33.500
 east

00:10:33.500 --> 00:10:33.779
 and middle

00:10:33.779 --> 00:10:33.959
 east

00:10:33.959 --> 00:10:34.399
 particularly

00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:34.859
 that kind

00:10:34.859 --> 00:10:35.299
 of area

00:10:35.299 --> 00:10:36.379
 and talk

00:10:36.379 --> 00:10:36.759
 about

00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:37.559
 one

00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:38.059
 religion

00:10:38.059 --> 00:10:39.219
 being the

00:10:39.219 --> 00:10:40.059
 only true

00:10:40.059 --> 00:10:40.419
 religion

00:10:40.419 --> 00:10:40.759
 in the

00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:41.159
 world

00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:42.759
 yep

00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:43.059
 that's

00:10:43.059 --> 00:10:43.319
 fine

00:10:43.319 --> 00:10:44.179
 totally

00:10:44.179 --> 00:10:45.119
 tolerate

00:10:45.119 --> 00:10:45.500
 that

00:10:45.500 --> 00:10:45.799
 that's

00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:46.239
 totally

00:10:46.239 --> 00:10:46.639
 fine

00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:48.379
 but you

00:10:48.379 --> 00:10:48.659
 start

00:10:48.659 --> 00:10:49.000
 talking

00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:49.239
 about

00:10:49.239 --> 00:10:49.719
 forgiveness

00:10:49.719 --> 00:10:50.899
 and love

00:10:50.899 --> 00:10:51.839
 and grace

00:10:51.839 --> 00:10:53.719
 they think

00:10:53.719 --> 00:10:54.099
 you've got

00:10:54.099 --> 00:10:54.859
 no integrity

00:10:54.860 --> 00:10:55.800
 at all

00:10:55.800 --> 00:10:59.320
 scandalised

00:10:59.320 --> 00:10:59.779
 by different

00:10:59.779 --> 00:11:00.419
 reasons

00:11:00.419 --> 00:11:02.639
 they think

00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:02.899
 you'd have

00:11:02.899 --> 00:11:04.019
 no sense

00:11:04.019 --> 00:11:05.480
 of honour

00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:06.539

00:11:06.860 --> 00:11:07.399
 and forgiveness

00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:10.779
 every place

00:11:10.779 --> 00:11:11.740
 is offended

00:11:11.740 --> 00:11:12.399
 but offended

00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:12.940

00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:13.820
 Jesus

 simply

00:11:25.079 --> 00:11:25.500
 means

 there's

 part

00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:31.019
 of

00:11:41.899 --> 00:11:42.120
 all it

00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:42.439
 means

00:11:42.439 --> 00:11:45.779
 but if

00:11:45.779 --> 00:11:46.159
 Jesus

00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:47.379
 is

 way

00:12:00.899 --> 00:12:04.840
 that's

00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:05.179
 because

00:12:05.179 --> 00:12:05.459
 he

00:12:05.459 --> 00:12:06.039
 stands

00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:06.620
 outside

00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:09.799

 not

00:12:25.319 --> 00:12:25.860
 means

00:12:25.860 --> 00:12:26.179
 he

00:12:26.179 --> 00:12:26.799

 will say

 about

 slightly

00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:52.800
 more

00:14:52.800 --> 00:14:52.980

00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:01.899
 life

00:16:01.899 --> 00:16:03.980
 ordinary

00:16:03.980 --> 00:16:04.980
 humanness

00:16:04.980 --> 00:16:07.200
 in all

00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:07.420
 other

00:16:07.420 --> 00:16:07.960
 religions

00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:08.600
 ultimately

00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:09.300
 salvation

00:16:09.300 --> 00:16:10.060
 is seen

00:16:10.060 --> 00:16:11.100
 as escape

00:16:11.100 --> 00:16:11.899
 from the

00:16:11.899 --> 00:16:12.480
 shackles

00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:13.060
 of my

00:16:13.060 --> 00:16:13.620
 humanity

00:16:13.620 --> 00:16:14.200
 in some

00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:14.539
 way

00:16:14.539 --> 00:16:17.220
 it's been

00:16:17.220 --> 00:16:17.920
 set free

00:16:17.920 --> 00:16:18.519
 from all

00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:19.060
 human

00:16:19.060 --> 00:16:20.480
 limitations

00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:21.360
 of becoming

00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:21.940
 a

00:16:21.940 --> 00:16:22.779
 limitless

00:16:22.779 --> 00:16:23.120
 free

00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:23.500
 spirit

00:16:23.500 --> 00:16:23.820
 in some

00:16:23.820 --> 00:16:24.159
 cases

00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:24.460
 it's

00:16:24.460 --> 00:16:24.720
 literally

00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:24.879
 a

00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:25.200
 limitless

00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:25.420
 free

00:16:25.420 --> 00:16:25.759
 spirit

00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:26.259
 but in

00:16:26.259 --> 00:16:26.539
 every

00:16:26.539 --> 00:16:26.860
 way

00:16:26.860 --> 00:16:27.639
 it's

00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:28.000
 to

00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:28.779
 remove

00:16:28.779 --> 00:16:28.960
 the

00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:29.420
 limitations

00:16:29.420 --> 00:16:29.879
 I feel

00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:30.080
 as a

00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:30.259
 human

00:16:30.259 --> 00:16:30.639
 being

00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:32.920
 and

00:16:32.920 --> 00:16:33.279
 biblical

00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:33.680
 salvation

00:16:33.680 --> 00:16:34.279
 is the

00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:34.539
 exact

00:16:34.539 --> 00:16:34.960
 opposite

00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:35.720
 it is

00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:36.200
 not

00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:36.480
 an

00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:36.860
 escape

00:16:36.860 --> 00:16:37.080
 from

00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:37.320
 this

00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:37.720
 world

00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:38.060
 out

00:16:38.060 --> 00:16:38.159
 of

00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:38.320
 this

00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:38.560
 world

00:16:38.560 --> 00:16:38.879
 but a

00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:39.300
 transformation

00:16:39.300 --> 00:16:39.840
 of

00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:40.080
 this

00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:40.480
 world

00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:42.500
 the

00:16:42.500 --> 00:16:42.759
 biblical

00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:43.120
 vision

00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:43.300
 of

00:16:43.300 --> 00:16:43.759
 salvation

00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:44.420
 is

00:16:44.420 --> 00:16:45.039
 unique

00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:45.620
 it's

00:16:45.620 --> 00:16:46.200
 God

00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:46.620
 coming

00:16:46.620 --> 00:16:47.240
 down

00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:47.840
 into

00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:48.500
 our

00:16:48.500 --> 00:16:49.800
 ordinariness

00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:50.699
 not

00:16:50.699 --> 00:16:51.159
 yanking

00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:51.379
 us

00:16:51.379 --> 00:16:51.699
 out

00:16:51.699 --> 00:16:51.819
 of

00:16:51.819 --> 00:16:51.919
 it

00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:52.079
 but

00:16:52.079 --> 00:16:52.379
 coming

00:16:52.379 --> 00:16:52.859
 into

00:16:52.859 --> 00:16:53.039
 it

00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:53.339
 he

00:16:53.339 --> 00:16:53.959
 immersed

00:16:53.959 --> 00:16:54.419
 himself

00:16:54.419 --> 00:16:54.699
 in

00:16:54.699 --> 00:16:54.839
 the

00:16:54.839 --> 00:16:55.279
 pain

00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:55.519
 and

00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:55.659
 in

00:16:55.659 --> 00:16:55.779
 the

00:16:55.779 --> 00:16:56.240
 vulnerability

00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:57.279
 and

00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:57.479
 the

00:16:57.479 --> 00:16:57.919
 suffering

00:16:57.919 --> 00:16:58.159
 of

00:16:58.159 --> 00:16:58.639
 ordinary

00:16:58.639 --> 00:16:59.079
 human

00:16:59.079 --> 00:16:59.599
 life

00:16:59.599 --> 00:17:03.319
 and

00:17:03.319 --> 00:17:03.479
 yet

00:17:03.479 --> 00:17:03.719
 the

00:17:03.719 --> 00:17:04.079
 beauty

00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:04.519
 and

00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:04.700
 the

00:17:04.700 --> 00:17:05.079
 comfort

00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:05.440
 of

00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:05.940
 God

00:17:05.940 --> 00:17:06.639
 coming

00:17:06.639 --> 00:17:07.220
 down

00:17:07.220 --> 00:17:07.740
 into

00:17:07.740 --> 00:17:08.000
 the

00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:08.460
 mess

00:17:08.460 --> 00:17:08.700
 and

00:17:08.700 --> 00:17:08.859
 the

00:17:08.859 --> 00:17:09.599
 ordinariness

00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:10.079
 of

00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:10.319
 this

00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:10.740
 life

00:17:10.740 --> 00:17:11.019
 is

00:17:11.019 --> 00:17:11.319
 just

00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:11.819
 frankly

00:17:11.819 --> 00:17:12.159
 too

00:17:12.159 --> 00:17:12.619
 ordinary

00:17:12.619 --> 00:17:12.960
 for

00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:13.299
 most

00:17:13.299 --> 00:17:16.139
 the

00:17:16.139 --> 00:17:16.740
 humility

00:17:16.740 --> 00:17:17.279
 and

00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:17.480
 the

00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:17.919
 grace

00:17:17.919 --> 00:17:18.139
 of

00:17:18.139 --> 00:17:18.919
 salvation

00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:20.500
 of

00:17:20.500 --> 00:17:20.640
 the

00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:20.840
 Lord

00:17:20.840 --> 00:17:21.200
 Jesus

00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:21.900
 is

00:17:21.900 --> 00:17:22.660
 offensive

00:17:22.660 --> 00:17:24.480
 I

00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:24.720
 cannot

00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:25.320
 tell you

00:17:25.320 --> 00:17:25.480
 the

00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:25.680
 number

00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:25.840
 of

00:17:25.840 --> 00:17:26.160
 times

00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:26.400
 I've

00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:26.740
 spoken

00:17:26.740 --> 00:17:26.920
 to

00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:27.160
 people

00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:27.360
 and

00:17:27.360 --> 00:17:27.620
 said

00:17:27.620 --> 00:17:28.300
 this

00:17:28.300 --> 00:17:28.580
 is

00:17:28.580 --> 00:17:29.279
 the

00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:29.980
 grace

00:17:29.980 --> 00:17:30.300
 of

00:17:30.300 --> 00:17:30.440
 the

00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:30.759
 gospel

00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:30.900
 of

00:17:30.900 --> 00:17:31.039
 Jesus

00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:31.160
 Christ

00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:31.380
 let me

00:17:31.380 --> 00:17:32.100
 explain

00:17:32.100 --> 00:17:32.300
 to

00:17:32.300 --> 00:17:32.440
 you

00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:32.840
 nothing

00:17:32.840 --> 00:17:33.060
 that

00:17:33.060 --> 00:17:33.180
 you

00:17:33.180 --> 00:17:33.320
 have

00:17:33.320 --> 00:17:33.539
 done

00:17:33.539 --> 00:17:33.700
 but

00:17:33.700 --> 00:17:34.160
 everything

00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:34.400
 that

00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:34.680
 Jesus

00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:35.060
 done

00:17:35.060 --> 00:17:36.680
 how

00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:36.900
 many

00:17:36.900 --> 00:17:37.320
 times

00:17:37.320 --> 00:17:37.440
 the

00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:37.900
 response

00:17:37.900 --> 00:17:38.019
 has

00:17:38.019 --> 00:17:38.100
 been

00:17:38.100 --> 00:17:38.279
 that

00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:39.140
 what

00:17:39.140 --> 00:17:39.480
 that's

00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:39.680
 it

00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:41.620
 there's

00:17:41.620 --> 00:17:41.759
 got to

00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:41.920
 be

00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:42.279
 something

00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:42.660
 that I

00:17:42.660 --> 00:17:43.000
 do

00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:44.680
 that's

00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:44.960
 it

00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:47.720
 and

00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:47.840
 they

00:17:47.840 --> 00:17:48.100
 walk

00:17:48.100 --> 00:17:48.440
 away

00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:50.320
 it's

00:17:50.320 --> 00:17:50.960
 offensive

00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:56.100
 as

00:17:56.100 --> 00:17:56.279
 is

00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:56.460
 the

00:17:56.460 --> 00:17:56.759
 fact

00:17:56.759 --> 00:17:56.980
 that

00:17:56.980 --> 00:17:58.200
 it

00:17:58.200 --> 00:17:58.759
 takes

00:17:58.759 --> 00:17:59.539
 God

00:17:59.539 --> 00:18:00.220
 to

00:18:00.220 --> 00:18:00.720
 make

00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:01.039
 such

00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:01.820
 drastic

00:18:01.820 --> 00:18:02.519
 steps

00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:03.500
 in

00:18:03.500 --> 00:18:03.660
 order

00:18:03.660 --> 00:18:03.900
 to

00:18:03.900 --> 00:18:04.220
 save

00:18:04.220 --> 00:18:04.440
 us

00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:04.640
 it's

00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:05.039
 offensive

00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:05.279
 to the

00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:05.460
 human

00:18:05.460 --> 00:18:05.720
 heart

00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:05.920
 to

00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:06.279
 think

00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:07.039
 that

00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:07.259
 I

00:18:07.259 --> 00:18:07.460
 am

00:18:07.460 --> 00:18:07.920
 helpless

00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:08.519
 in

00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:08.779
 my

00:18:08.779 --> 00:18:09.220
 sin

00:18:09.220 --> 00:18:09.559
 and

00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:09.920
 I

00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:10.320
 need

00:18:10.320 --> 00:18:10.720
 God

00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:10.960
 to

00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:11.580
 rescue

00:18:11.580 --> 00:18:11.980
 me

00:18:11.980 --> 00:18:14.380
 surely

00:18:14.380 --> 00:18:14.600
 I

00:26:38.860 --> 00:26:39.360
 we

00:26:39.360 --> 00:26:39.519
 have

00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:39.880
 got a

00:26:39.880 --> 00:26:40.200
 name

00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:40.620
 and we

00:26:40.620 --> 00:26:40.759
 have

00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:41.000
 got

00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:41.200
 an

00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:41.559
 eternal

00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:42.119
 place

00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:43.039
 and it

00:26:43.039 --> 00:26:43.379
 means

00:26:43.379 --> 00:26:43.559
 that

00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:43.759
 we

00:26:43.759 --> 00:26:43.960
 can

00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:44.279
 take

00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:44.559
 whatever

00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:45.159
 form

00:26:45.159 --> 00:26:45.460
 of

00:26:45.460 --> 00:26:46.200
 rejection

00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:46.500
 this

00:26:46.500 --> 00:26:46.819
 world

00:26:46.819 --> 00:26:47.000
 will

00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:47.299
 throw

00:26:47.299 --> 00:26:47.500
 at

00:26:47.500 --> 00:26:47.819
 us

00:26:47.819 --> 00:26:48.200
 it

00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:48.500
 doesn't

00:26:48.500 --> 00:26:48.819
 matter

00:26:48.819 --> 00:26:49.079
 what

00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:49.519
 anyone

00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:50.240
 thinks

00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:51.099
 when you

00:26:51.099 --> 00:26:51.559
 have

00:26:51.559 --> 00:26:51.799
 the

00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:52.220
 love

00:26:52.220 --> 00:26:52.539
 of the

00:26:52.539 --> 00:26:52.919
 king

00:26:52.919 --> 00:26:53.179
 and the

00:26:53.179 --> 00:26:53.579
 acceptance

00:26:53.579 --> 00:26:53.960
 of the

00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:54.359
 father

00:26:54.359 --> 00:26:55.639
 who

00:26:55.639 --> 00:26:56.220
 cares

00:26:56.220 --> 00:26:56.500
 what

00:26:56.500 --> 00:26:56.879
 anyone

00:26:56.879 --> 00:26:57.240
 else

00:26:57.240 --> 00:26:57.839
 thinks

00:26:57.839 --> 00:27:05.779
 so

00:27:05.779 --> 00:27:06.099
 throughout

00:27:06.099 --> 00:27:06.359
 these

00:27:06.359 --> 00:27:06.579
 early

00:27:06.579 --> 00:27:06.959
 chapters

00:27:06.959 --> 00:27:07.139
 of

00:27:07.139 --> 00:27:07.500
 Mark

00:27:07.500 --> 00:27:08.859
 we

00:27:08.859 --> 00:27:09.139

00:27:10.459 --> 00:27:10.720
 been

00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:11.399
 strongly

00:27:11.399 --> 00:27:12.359
 encouraged

00:27:12.359 --> 00:27:13.079
 to

00:27:13.079 --> 00:27:13.679
 understand

00:27:13.679 --> 00:27:14.000
 who

00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:14.359
 Jesus

00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:14.859
 is

00:27:14.859 --> 00:27:15.500
 to

00:27:15.500 --> 00:27:16.079
 repent

00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:16.919
 to put

00:27:16.919 --> 00:27:17.099
 our

00:27:17.099 --> 00:27:17.399
 faith

00:27:17.399 --> 00:27:17.579
 in

00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:24.579
 Jesus

00:27:24.579 --> 00:27:24.839
 the

00:27:24.839 --> 00:27:25.259
 redeemer

00:27:25.259 --> 00:27:25.799
 he's

00:27:26.900 --> 00:27:27.340
 he's

 the

00:27:27.500 --> 00:27:27.900
 only

00:27:27.900 --> 00:27:28.500
 source

00:27:28.500 --> 00:27:28.940
 of

00:27:28.940 --> 00:27:29.800
 eternal

00:27:29.800 --> 00:27:30.440
 rescue

00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:34.640
 and

00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:35.040
 Jesus

00:27:35.040 --> 00:27:35.800
 faced

00:27:35.800 --> 00:27:36.820
 acceptance

00:27:36.820 --> 00:27:37.340
 and

00:27:37.340 --> 00:27:37.860
 rejection

00:27:37.860 --> 00:27:39.400
 many

00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:39.800
 people

00:27:39.800 --> 00:27:40.040
 were

 Jesus

00:27:41.460 --> 00:27:42.780
 fascinated

00:27:42.780 --> 00:27:43.259
 by

00:27:43.259 --> 00:27:43.540
 him

00:27:43.540 --> 00:27:44.700
 and

00:27:44.700 --> 00:27:44.980
 that

00:27:44.980 --> 00:27:45.360
 might

00:27:45.360 --> 00:27:45.660
 in

 with

00:27:59.319 --> 00:27:59.619
 Jesus

00:27:59.619 --> 00:27:59.960
 coming

 to

00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:00.460
 church

00:28:00.460 --> 00:28:00.779
 week

00:28:00.779 --> 00:28:01.000
 in

00:28:02.460 --> 00:28:02.859
 with

00:28:02.859 --> 00:28:03.019
 this

00:28:03.019 --> 00:28:03.480
 Jesus

00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:06.519
 but

00:28:06.519 --> 00:28:06.639
 you

00:28:06.639 --> 00:28:06.960
 find

00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:07.500
 aspects

00:28:07.500 --> 00:28:07.700
 of

00:28:07.700 --> 00:28:07.960
 Jesus

00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:08.819
 offensive

00:28:08.819 --> 00:28:10.779
 there's

00:28:10.779 --> 00:28:11.059
 bits

00:28:11.059 --> 00:28:11.240
 of

00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:11.660
 Jesus

00:28:11.660 --> 00:28:12.220
 that

00:28:12.220 --> 00:28:12.359
 he

00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:12.940
 says

00:28:12.940 --> 00:28:13.400
 that

00:28:13.400 --> 00:28:13.559
 I

00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:13.940
 just

00:28:13.940 --> 00:28:15.000
 keep

00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:15.099
 it

00:28:15.099 --> 00:28:15.299
 over

00:28:15.299 --> 00:28:15.480
 there

00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:15.660
 just

00:28:15.660 --> 00:28:16.039
 ignore

00:28:16.039 --> 00:28:16.359
 those

00:28:16.359 --> 00:28:16.740
 bits

00:28:16.740 --> 00:28:46.740


00:28:46.740 --> 00:29:16.740


00:29:16.740 --> 00:29:46.740


00:29:46.740 --> 00:30:16.740


00:30:16.740 --> 00:30:46.740


00:30:46.740 --> 00:31:16.740


00:31:16.740 --> 00:31:46.740


00:31:46.740 --> 00:32:16.740


00:32:16.740 --> 00:32:46.740


00:32:46.740 --> 00:33:00.519
 epil

00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:00.880
 have

00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:02.140
 hundred

00:33:02.140 --> 00:33:02.720
 things

00:33:04.839 --> 00:33:06.740
 t

00:33:06.740 --> 00:33:07.140
 the

00:33:07.140 --> 00:33:07.620
 moment

00:33:07.620 --> 00:33:07.880
 of

00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:08.440
 opportunity

00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:09.019
 was

00:33:09.019 --> 00:33:09.500
 gone

00:33:09.500 --> 00:33:19.059
 whether your fascination with Jesus

00:33:19.059 --> 00:33:20.740
 has been two days, three days

00:33:20.740 --> 00:33:22.619
 30 years, 40 years

00:33:22.619 --> 00:33:26.259
 you are not in control of your heart

00:33:26.259 --> 00:33:30.680
 you think you are

00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:32.440
 but you're not

00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:36.599
 we do not have power and control over our hearts

00:33:36.599 --> 00:33:39.480
 and so I'm saying to you now

00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:45.299
 if you are open to do something with Jesus

00:33:45.299 --> 00:33:48.279
 but you are afraid to do it

00:33:48.279 --> 00:33:51.079
 even though you know you should do it

00:33:51.079 --> 00:33:53.559
 but you're confused by aspects of Jesus

00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:55.860
 or even offended by aspects of Jesus

00:33:55.860 --> 00:34:00.640
 don't think the window of opportunity

00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:03.279
 is going to be open forever

00:34:03.279 --> 00:34:07.940
 10 days, 10 months, 10 years

00:34:07.940 --> 00:34:09.360
 50 years

00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:11.920
 you've been hearing Jesus say

00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:14.079
 obey me, obey me, obey me

00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:15.260
 in this area of life

00:34:15.260 --> 00:34:16.280
 but you've shut it out

00:34:16.280 --> 00:34:17.059
 you've shut it out

00:34:17.059 --> 00:34:17.940
 you've shut it out

00:34:17.940 --> 00:34:23.639
 today is the day to change

00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:25.679
 that don't think the window of opportunity

00:34:25.679 --> 00:34:26.760
 is just going to stay open

00:34:26.760 --> 00:34:29.360
 don't keep putting it off

00:34:29.360 --> 00:34:31.260
 don't wait until the day

00:34:31.260 --> 00:34:36.140
 when you don't find Jesus offensive anymore

00:34:36.139 --> 00:34:41.960
 it will never come

00:34:41.960 --> 00:34:45.679
 or it will come

00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:47.539
 but it will be too late

00:34:47.539 --> 00:34:51.879
 don't reject the king

00:34:51.879 --> 00:34:54.599
 understand who he is

00:34:54.599 --> 00:34:56.460
 repent

00:34:56.460 --> 00:34:58.519
 put your faith in Jesus

00:34:58.519 --> 00:35:00.279
 listen to him

00:35:00.279 --> 00:35:01.719
 and obey him

00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:02.639
 and do it
