00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.419
 We continue our verse-by-verse exposition through the Gospel according to Mark.

00:00:03.419 --> 00:00:08.500
! We find ourselves in the last week of Jesus' earthly ministry.

00:00:08.500 --> 00:00:12.720
! This is the week most often called Passion Week.

00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:14.560
!

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:34.439
 He leaves, comes back, cleanses the temple.

00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:36.780
 And now he's back in the temple.

00:00:37.060 --> 00:00:39.299
 He's established some authority in this place.

00:00:39.539 --> 00:00:40.880
 And he's now being questioned.

00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:45.259
 The Sadducees, the Pharisees, etc. are coming to him

00:00:45.259 --> 00:00:47.700
 and wondering how it is that he has this authority.

00:00:47.879 --> 00:00:52.340
 And they're now beginning to work on discrediting him.

00:00:53.219 --> 00:00:56.379
 As we come to this text, I was really thankful this morning

00:00:56.380 --> 00:01:00.020
 to hear the song on Jordan's stormy banks.

00:01:00.020 --> 00:01:03.940
 As we live in this life, a life full of trouble,

00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:08.060
 and we stand on the banks, so to speak, metaphorically of the Jordan,

00:01:08.219 --> 00:01:11.820
 looking to the promise of God in Christ.

00:01:11.960 --> 00:01:15.099
 I feel that way a bit in our text together.

00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:21.079
 I want to rush to the great work of Jesus on our behalf on the cross

00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:23.180
 and then his resurrection.

00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:25.760
 It's going to take us some months to get to that point.

00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:29.719
 And I feel in my own soul kind of attention for this

00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:31.800
 as we preach through it.

00:01:31.960 --> 00:01:36.980
 The last couple of weeks, we've been in Wednesday of Passion Week

00:01:36.980 --> 00:01:39.300
 and we'll be there a bit longer still.

00:01:40.300 --> 00:01:42.920
 I hope that you feel that way this morning.

00:01:43.320 --> 00:01:48.520
 We've now experienced the redemptive work of Christ on our behalf.

00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:52.560
 He has accomplished this thing, this great climax of redemptive history.

00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:57.579
 And we're waiting for the next great event in redemptive history.

00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:02.100
 And that is his return where he's brought in the kingdom of God.

00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:05.439
 He's now going to bring it to a full culmination one day.

00:02:05.500 --> 00:02:09.719
 And there should be a longing in our hearts for such a thing to come to pass.

00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:14.139
 But in the midst of that, we come to these small stories.

00:02:14.359 --> 00:02:18.319
 These, at first glance, maybe even insignificant stories

00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:21.139
 in light of the thing that's going to happen in just a few days

00:02:21.139 --> 00:02:24.639
 in the life of Christ, which has such a massive effect

00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:27.199
 on the world and on us as well.

00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:28.979
 But it's important that we pause

00:02:28.979 --> 00:02:32.219
 and we take a careful look at these things.

00:02:32.219 --> 00:02:35.680
 We saw last week in verses 13 through 17

00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:41.240
 an interaction that he has with the Pharisees and the Herodians

00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:45.400
 with a religious group and a political group.

00:02:45.500 --> 00:02:49.340
 They've come together and they worked a question in such a way

00:02:49.340 --> 00:02:51.960
 they believed it was so incredibly brilliant

00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:56.900
 that they would trap him with both this political and theological question.

00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:00.240
 And today we're going to see the Sadducees,

00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.900
 another group, another religious group,

00:03:02.900 --> 00:03:05.920
 and they're going to take a turn and take a stab

00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:07.879
 at discrediting Jesus Christ.

00:03:08.780 --> 00:03:12.120
 So I'm going to read to you in Mark 12, beginning in verse 18.

00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:13.780
 So follow along as I read.

00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:19.260
 And Sadducees came to him who say that there is no resurrection.

00:03:19.939 --> 00:03:21.740
 And they asked him a question, saying,

00:03:22.379 --> 00:03:25.780
 Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies

00:03:25.780 --> 00:03:27.920
 and leaves a wife, but leaves no child,

00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:31.780
 the man must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.

00:03:32.699 --> 00:03:33.639
 There were seven brothers.

00:03:34.259 --> 00:03:36.839
 The first took a wife and when he died left no offspring.

00:03:37.379 --> 00:03:40.219
 And the second took her and died, leaving no offspring.

00:03:40.799 --> 00:03:41.779
 And the third likewise.

00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:44.239
 And the seven left no offspring.

00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.359
 Last of all, the woman also died.

00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:50.279
 In the resurrection, when they rise again,

00:03:50.419 --> 00:03:52.060
 whose wife will she be?

00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.099
 For the seven had her as wife.

00:03:55.099 --> 00:03:56.979
 Jesus said to them,

00:03:57.479 --> 00:03:59.759
 Is this not the reason you are wrong?

00:03:59.919 --> 00:04:04.120
 Because you know neither the scriptures nor the power of God.

00:04:04.579 --> 00:04:06.180
 For when they rise from the dead,

00:04:06.259 --> 00:04:08.819
 they neither marry nor are given in marriage,

00:04:08.859 --> 00:04:10.539
 but are like angels in heaven.

00:04:11.379 --> 00:04:12.919
 And as for the dead being raised,

00:04:12.979 --> 00:04:14.579
 have you not read in the book of Moses,

00:04:14.799 --> 00:04:16.279
 in the passage about the bush,

00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:18.279
 how God spoke to him, saying,

00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:20.100
 I am the God of Abraham,

00:04:20.540 --> 00:04:21.800
 and the God of Isaac,

00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:23.060
 and the God of Jacob.

00:04:23.060 --> 00:04:26.120
 He is not God of the dead,

00:04:26.300 --> 00:04:27.339
 but of the living.

00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:29.600
 You are quite wrong.

00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:32.339
 This is God's word to us.

00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:34.959
 It was written for his glory and our good.

00:04:35.379 --> 00:04:37.340
 We would all do well to listen to it

00:04:37.340 --> 00:04:39.180
 in order to believe its promises

00:04:39.180 --> 00:04:41.079
 and obey its commands.

00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:42.319
 Let's pray together.

00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:46.759
 Father God,

00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.399
 for the preaching of your gospel,

00:04:49.699 --> 00:04:52.959
 who is sufficient for such a thing?

00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:54.899
 Surely not I.

00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:56.439
 And none of us are sufficient

00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:58.759
 for the proper application of these words

00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:00.659
 to our minds and our hearts.

00:05:01.740 --> 00:05:03.339
 And so we would pray this morning,

00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:04.159
 by your Spirit,

00:05:04.259 --> 00:05:06.740
 that you would illuminate our minds and our hearts,

00:05:06.740 --> 00:05:09.480
 that you would help us to rightly understand

00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:12.420
 and rightly apply these words of truth.

00:05:13.540 --> 00:05:16.699
 We recognize that your word is authoritative,

00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:19.100
 that it is inerrant,

00:05:19.259 --> 00:05:20.699
 that it is sufficient,

00:05:21.300 --> 00:05:23.900
 that it has something to say to us in this day,

00:05:23.960 --> 00:05:25.460
 and we expect that, Lord,

00:05:25.699 --> 00:05:26.860
 for your name's sake.

00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:29.439
 So use me as a vessel.

00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:32.400
 Surely you can accomplish good things

00:05:32.400 --> 00:05:33.460
 in my speaking.

00:05:33.459 --> 00:05:36.680
 Work to the great end of your people

00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:38.939
 looking more like Christ,

00:05:39.500 --> 00:05:40.859
 proclaiming your name in greater

00:05:40.859 --> 00:05:42.339
 and more radical ways

00:05:42.339 --> 00:05:44.039
 to your glory.

00:05:44.739 --> 00:05:46.479
 And we pray all this in Jesus' precious name.

00:05:47.719 --> 00:05:48.039
 Amen.

00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:51.939
 So we have this new group that comes to Jesus,

00:05:52.039 --> 00:05:53.039
 a group that's not mentioned

00:05:53.039 --> 00:05:55.299
 all that often in the Scriptures,

00:05:55.459 --> 00:05:57.079
 and so we must first ask the question,

00:05:57.219 --> 00:05:59.539
 who were these Sadducees?

00:05:59.939 --> 00:06:00.819
 Who are they?

00:06:00.819 --> 00:06:04.000
 They're not so much a religious party,

00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:05.980
 an established religious party,

00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:08.319
 but this is rather a label given them,

00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:09.980
 a people with a particular

00:06:09.980 --> 00:06:12.959
 Judaic theological viewpoint.

00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:15.319
 Now, it contained within it

00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.139
 a number of variances,

00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:18.959
 a number of discrepancies

00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:21.959
 between what they and the Pharisees believed,

00:06:22.060 --> 00:06:22.620
 and in fact,

00:06:22.699 --> 00:06:24.500
 we could spend the entire time together

00:06:24.500 --> 00:06:25.800
 just talking about that,

00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:26.899
 the things that they believed

00:06:26.899 --> 00:06:28.699
 versus what the Pharisees believed.

00:06:28.699 --> 00:06:30.759
 In fact, this text has a lot of things

00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:32.300
 we could spend a lot of time on,

00:06:32.500 --> 00:06:33.139
 and it doesn't it?

00:06:33.180 --> 00:06:34.240
 The nature of resurrection,

00:06:34.420 --> 00:06:36.300
 we could talk about angels

00:06:36.300 --> 00:06:37.639
 and our relation to them,

00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:39.500
 but we're going to focus primarily

00:06:39.500 --> 00:06:41.959
 on this question and this challenge, right?

00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:44.579
 The context is driving us to Friday,

00:06:44.819 --> 00:06:46.919
 to Jesus' judgment,

00:06:47.099 --> 00:06:47.519
 his death,

00:06:47.579 --> 00:06:49.300
 and then his subsequent resurrection.

00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:51.199
 So we're going to stay in that realm.

00:06:51.779 --> 00:06:52.959
 So these Sadduceean views

00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:55.079
 were espoused by most

00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:57.180
 of the priestly families in this day,

00:06:57.180 --> 00:07:00.300
 so that most of the ruling class,

00:07:00.420 --> 00:07:01.759
 those in the temple,

00:07:02.100 --> 00:07:02.860
 the Sanhedrin,

00:07:02.980 --> 00:07:04.040
 the court that was held,

00:07:04.180 --> 00:07:07.060
 most of them were Sadducees, right?

00:07:07.620 --> 00:07:09.660
 This belief system was held

00:07:09.660 --> 00:07:13.160
 by most of those in power, right?

00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:14.579
 Now, in one sense,

00:07:14.620 --> 00:07:15.460
 and you've heard me say this

00:07:15.460 --> 00:07:16.340
 over and over again,

00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:17.879
 they were liberals.

00:07:18.280 --> 00:07:19.860
 The Pharisees tended to be

00:07:19.860 --> 00:07:21.740
 the more fundamental,

00:07:21.960 --> 00:07:24.480
 the more conservative in that regard,

00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:26.079
 in their practice of the law,

00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:27.859
 their strict adherence to the law.

00:07:28.019 --> 00:07:29.079
 It was the Pharisees

00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:30.699
 that had added to the law of God,

00:07:30.779 --> 00:07:31.579
 the hedge laws.

00:07:31.719 --> 00:07:33.719
 They had heaped upon the law of God

00:07:33.719 --> 00:07:36.680
 extra laws to keep you from ever breaking.

00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:38.300
 So you might break the hedge laws,

00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:39.399
 but to ever keep from breaking

00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:40.919
 the law of God,

00:07:40.979 --> 00:07:42.000
 which of course they all did,

00:07:42.039 --> 00:07:43.180
 and they just didn't recognize it.

00:07:43.259 --> 00:07:44.819
 They were hypocrites,

00:07:45.139 --> 00:07:46.139
 whitewashed tombs,

00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:48.339
 very unaware of their inability

00:07:48.339 --> 00:07:49.599
 to keep the law.

00:07:50.659 --> 00:07:52.439
 The Sadducees were a bit more liberal

00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:53.620
 in that case,

00:07:53.620 --> 00:07:54.920
 a little less concerned

00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:57.280
 about strict adherence to the law.

00:07:57.360 --> 00:07:57.860
 But in another,

00:07:57.980 --> 00:07:59.259
 they were very conservative,

00:07:59.500 --> 00:08:01.199
 and that was that they did not

00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:03.420
 accept oral tradition.

00:08:04.300 --> 00:08:04.939
 In this day,

00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:05.840
 there was something called

00:08:05.840 --> 00:08:06.420
 oral tradition.

00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:08.720
 It exists in some denominations today,

00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.199
 which was a passing down of teaching.

00:08:11.340 --> 00:08:12.480
 They would listen to the teachings

00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:13.780
 of a rabbi,

00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:14.660
 rabbinical teachings,

00:08:14.660 --> 00:08:16.620
 and they would apply those teachings

00:08:16.620 --> 00:08:18.060
 and understand the scriptures

00:08:18.060 --> 00:08:19.240
 by them,

00:08:19.280 --> 00:08:20.379
 in many cases,

00:08:20.379 --> 00:08:22.480
 elevating them even to the degree

00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:23.459
 of scripture.

00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:26.100
 The Sadducees did not do this.

00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:27.379
 They totally rejected

00:08:27.379 --> 00:08:28.740
 the oral tradition,

00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:32.279
 and they held just to the scriptures.

00:08:32.500 --> 00:08:32.679
 Now,

00:08:33.139 --> 00:08:33.879
 interestingly,

00:08:34.059 --> 00:08:35.840
 they held almost exclusively

00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:37.399
 to the Pentateuch,

00:08:37.500 --> 00:08:38.580
 to the books of Moses,

00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:39.299
 Genesis, Exodus,

00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:39.860
 Levitas,

00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:40.100
 Numbers,

00:08:40.179 --> 00:08:40.620
 Deuteronomy.

00:08:40.620 --> 00:08:42.120
 They highly elevated

00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:44.740
 the writings of Moses.

00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:46.659
 They didn't deny the rest

00:08:46.659 --> 00:08:47.500
 of the Jewish scriptures,

00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:48.779
 which we would have

00:08:48.779 --> 00:08:49.899
 as our Old Testament.

00:08:49.899 --> 00:08:51.079
 They didn't deny them

00:08:51.079 --> 00:08:52.319
 as the word of God,

00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:54.019
 but those were always

00:08:54.019 --> 00:08:57.399
 subservient to the Pentateuch.

00:08:58.159 --> 00:08:58.720
 So,

00:08:58.899 --> 00:09:00.199
 if something was taught

00:09:00.199 --> 00:09:02.620
 in the rest of our Old Testament

00:09:02.620 --> 00:09:04.100
 and their scriptures of the day

00:09:04.100 --> 00:09:06.120
 that they couldn't find proof for

00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:06.939
 in the Pentateuch

00:09:06.939 --> 00:09:08.379
 and the writings of Moses,

00:09:08.379 --> 00:09:10.639
 they would disregard it altogether.

00:09:11.419 --> 00:09:12.179
 And the resurrection

00:09:12.179 --> 00:09:13.939
 is one of those cases,

00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:14.379
 right?

00:09:14.539 --> 00:09:14.980
 In fact,

00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:16.100
 it was a rather major one

00:09:16.100 --> 00:09:16.819
 in this day.

00:09:16.939 --> 00:09:18.919
 This was a common theological debate

00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:19.779
 that took place

00:09:19.779 --> 00:09:20.719
 between the Sadducees

00:09:20.719 --> 00:09:21.860
 and the Pharisees.

00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:22.299
 It was something

00:09:22.299 --> 00:09:23.779
 that was talked about often.

00:09:24.019 --> 00:09:25.839
 Is there a resurrection?

00:09:26.179 --> 00:09:28.479
 Is there an afterlife?

00:09:29.479 --> 00:09:30.179
 It would seem,

00:09:30.259 --> 00:09:30.879
 and it's my belief,

00:09:30.939 --> 00:09:31.639
 that the Sadducees

00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:32.360
 were what we would call

00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:34.979
 annihilationists.

00:09:35.479 --> 00:09:36.419
 They believed that

00:09:36.419 --> 00:09:37.399
 at the end of your life,

00:09:37.459 --> 00:09:37.799
 you died

00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:39.360
 and nothing happened beyond.

00:09:39.479 --> 00:09:40.339
 You just were gone.

00:09:40.740 --> 00:09:42.459
 There was no eternal joy.

00:09:42.579 --> 00:09:43.839
 There was no eternal punishment.

00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:46.039
 You were simply gone.

00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:47.559
 Now, the Old Testament

00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:48.939
 does teach about resurrection,

00:09:49.139 --> 00:09:49.919
 but in some of these,

00:09:50.179 --> 00:09:51.039
 in their minds,

00:09:51.539 --> 00:09:52.299
 lesser books,

00:09:52.459 --> 00:09:54.799
 like in Isaiah 26, 19.

00:09:55.599 --> 00:09:56.799
 Your dead shall live,

00:09:57.259 --> 00:09:58.719
 their body shall rise.

00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:00.740
 You who dwell in the dust,

00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:02.699
 awake and sing for joy.

00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:04.839
 For your dew is a dew of light,

00:10:04.939 --> 00:10:06.399
 and the earth will give birth

00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:07.539
 to the dead.

00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:10.379
 Daniel 12, 2 also.

00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:12.939
 Possibly, with some hindsight,

00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:14.279
 knowing what we know now,

00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:16.579
 you can look back at some other texts

00:10:16.579 --> 00:10:19.839
 and see this idea of resurrection,

00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:20.620
 although in their day

00:10:20.620 --> 00:10:21.419
 it would have been challenging.

00:10:21.699 --> 00:10:22.699
 For further study,

00:10:22.860 --> 00:10:24.759
 Psalm 16, 9-11,

00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:28.439
 Psalm 49, 15, 73, 23-26,

00:10:29.059 --> 00:10:31.559
 Job 19, 25-26.

00:10:31.779 --> 00:10:32.500
 There are some places

00:10:32.500 --> 00:10:33.399
 that it's spoken of,

00:10:33.439 --> 00:10:35.579
 but it wasn't so explicit

00:10:35.579 --> 00:10:36.399
 in this case.

00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:38.059
 So the only two explicit examples

00:10:38.059 --> 00:10:40.100
 we have is Isaiah 26, 19

00:10:40.100 --> 00:10:42.319
 and Daniel 12, 2.

00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:45.020
 Now the Pharisees tried,

00:10:45.180 --> 00:10:46.060
 although they failed,

00:10:46.180 --> 00:10:47.720
 to make a case from the Pentateuch

00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:48.780
 for the resurrection,

00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:50.420
 and the Sadducees just

00:10:50.420 --> 00:10:53.080
 were not convinced of this.

00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:56.140
 Now Jesus believed in resurrection.

00:10:56.920 --> 00:10:57.720
 Praise God.

00:10:57.960 --> 00:10:58.879
 I'm really glad that He did.

00:10:59.660 --> 00:11:01.140
 We see some examples of that

00:11:01.140 --> 00:11:02.200
 in the Gospel of Mark already.

00:11:02.260 --> 00:11:03.280
 So turn back a few chapters

00:11:03.280 --> 00:11:05.560
 to Mark 8, verse 31.

00:11:06.260 --> 00:11:08.720
 Chapter 8, chapter 9, chapter 10,

00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:09.879
 we see predictions

00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:11.200
 of what's about to happen.

00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:12.480
 He's teaching the disciples

00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:13.460
 what's coming.

00:11:13.560 --> 00:11:14.300
 We're headed on a journey.

00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:15.240
 We're going towards Jerusalem.

00:11:15.560 --> 00:11:16.879
 Let me tell you what's going to happen

00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:18.420
 in this Passion Week.

00:11:18.580 --> 00:11:19.759
 Verse 31 says,

00:11:19.860 --> 00:11:20.960
 And He began to teach them

00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:21.840
 that the Son of Man

00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:23.660
 must suffer many things

00:11:23.660 --> 00:11:25.660
 and be rejected by the elders

00:11:25.660 --> 00:11:27.220
 and the chief priests

00:11:27.220 --> 00:11:28.080
 and the scribes.

00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:29.000
 Isn't that what's happening

00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:30.220
 on this Wednesday

00:11:30.220 --> 00:11:31.259
 in this interaction?

00:11:31.540 --> 00:11:32.660
 And be killed.

00:11:33.019 --> 00:11:34.340
 And after three days,

00:11:35.180 --> 00:11:35.920
 rise again.

00:11:36.699 --> 00:11:38.319
 Chapter 9, verse 31,

00:11:38.839 --> 00:11:40.079
 For He was teaching His disciples,

00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:40.860
 saying to them,

00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:43.019
 The Son of Man is going to be delivered

00:11:43.019 --> 00:11:44.039
 into the hands of men,

00:11:44.099 --> 00:11:45.159
 and they will kill Him.

00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:46.479
 And when He is killed,

00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:47.639
 after three days,

00:11:48.439 --> 00:11:49.339
 He will rise.

00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:52.779
 Chapter 10, verse 33 and 34,

00:11:54.259 --> 00:11:56.120
 See, we are going up to Jerusalem,

00:11:56.299 --> 00:11:57.679
 and the Son of Man will be delivered

00:11:57.679 --> 00:11:58.819
 over to the chief priests

00:11:58.819 --> 00:11:59.980
 and the scribes,

00:12:00.059 --> 00:12:01.779
 and they will condemn Him to death

00:12:01.779 --> 00:12:03.599
 and deliver Him over to the Gentiles,

00:12:03.740 --> 00:12:04.939
 and they will mock Him

00:12:04.940 --> 00:12:05.840
 and spit on Him

00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:06.740
 and flog Him

00:12:06.740 --> 00:12:07.760
 and kill Him.

00:12:07.820 --> 00:12:09.060
 And after three days,

00:12:09.760 --> 00:12:10.700
 He will rise.

00:12:10.760 --> 00:12:12.240
 This is the great hope

00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:12.880
 and the suffering

00:12:12.880 --> 00:12:14.340
 that Jesus was going to experience

00:12:14.340 --> 00:12:16.060
 is that He would, in fact,

00:12:16.160 --> 00:12:16.880
 one day,

00:12:17.300 --> 00:12:18.420
 three days, in fact,

00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:19.860
 after His death,

00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:21.520
 rise again.

00:12:22.400 --> 00:12:23.420
 Jesus certainly believed

00:12:23.420 --> 00:12:24.540
 in raising from the dead

00:12:24.540 --> 00:12:25.540
 as He had raised Lazarus

00:12:25.540 --> 00:12:25.980
 from the dead.

00:12:26.060 --> 00:12:26.860
 It's not recorded

00:12:26.860 --> 00:12:27.740
 in the Gospel of Mark,

00:12:27.820 --> 00:12:28.540
 but it is elsewhere

00:12:28.540 --> 00:12:29.440
 that Lazarus

00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:30.640
 had come back to life

00:12:30.640 --> 00:12:33.520
 by the words of Jesus Christ.

00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:35.379
 So, the Sadducees come to Him

00:12:35.379 --> 00:12:36.379
 with this question

00:12:36.379 --> 00:12:38.179
 knowing this of Him.

00:12:38.659 --> 00:12:39.899
 They have placed Him

00:12:39.899 --> 00:12:41.340
 in this category

00:12:41.340 --> 00:12:43.659
 with the Pharisees,

00:12:43.899 --> 00:12:45.819
 and they mean to humiliate Him

00:12:45.819 --> 00:12:47.419
 by this question.

00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:49.199
 Because this question,

00:12:49.539 --> 00:12:51.039
 by their attempt,

00:12:51.539 --> 00:12:53.340
 is a reductio ad absurdum,

00:12:53.439 --> 00:12:54.220
 which is Latin for

00:12:54.220 --> 00:12:55.579
 reduction to absurdity.

00:12:55.939 --> 00:12:56.919
 They're essentially saying to Him,

00:12:57.340 --> 00:12:59.500
 how can you possibly believe

00:12:59.500 --> 00:13:00.840
 in such a thing

00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:02.779
 as a resurrection from the dead?

00:13:02.779 --> 00:13:04.039
 Let us give you this

00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:05.559
 insane situation

00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:07.139
 that makes it just seem

00:13:07.139 --> 00:13:08.919
 that it would be impossible.

00:13:09.659 --> 00:13:11.059
 It's not a genuine question.

00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:12.860
 They're not coming to Him

00:13:12.860 --> 00:13:14.179
 with teachable hearts,

00:13:14.220 --> 00:13:15.120
 wanting to know

00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:16.620
 from the Lord of Lords

00:13:16.620 --> 00:13:17.120
 what the answer

00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:18.059
 to this question is.

00:13:18.199 --> 00:13:19.139
 They're coming to Him

00:13:19.139 --> 00:13:20.039
 to trick Him,

00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:21.799
 to humiliate Him,

00:13:22.179 --> 00:13:23.740
 as He, they suppose,

00:13:23.860 --> 00:13:24.360
 would not be able

00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:25.179
 to give an answer

00:13:25.179 --> 00:13:26.860
 to such a question.

00:13:27.439 --> 00:13:28.480
 They obviously didn't know

00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:30.600
 who they were talking to.

00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:32.340
 So they set up

00:13:32.340 --> 00:13:33.960
 this scenario for Him.

00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:35.740
 You see in verse 19,

00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:36.399
 they say,

00:13:37.139 --> 00:13:40.019
 Teacher, Moses wrote for us.

00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:41.240
 And they're quoting directly

00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:43.440
 after this from Deuteronomy 25,

00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:45.920
 5, and 6.

00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:47.000
 Let me read that to you.

00:13:48.060 --> 00:13:49.700
 If brothers dwell together,

00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:51.379
 and one of them dies

00:13:51.379 --> 00:13:52.460
 and has no son,

00:13:52.540 --> 00:13:53.700
 the wife of the dead man

00:13:53.700 --> 00:13:54.740
 shall not be married

00:13:54.740 --> 00:13:55.720
 outside the family

00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:56.920
 to a stranger.

00:13:57.440 --> 00:13:58.420
 Her husband's brother

00:13:58.419 --> 00:13:59.319
 shall go into her

00:13:59.319 --> 00:14:00.459
 and take her as his wife

00:14:00.459 --> 00:14:01.439
 and perform the duty

00:14:01.439 --> 00:14:02.360
 of a husband's brother

00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:03.479
 to her.

00:14:04.019 --> 00:14:04.779
 And the first son

00:14:04.779 --> 00:14:05.299
 who she bears

00:14:05.299 --> 00:14:06.039
 shall succeed

00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:06.799
 to the name

00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:07.719
 of his dead brother

00:14:07.719 --> 00:14:08.879
 that his name

00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:09.919
 may not be blotted out

00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:10.839
 of Israel.

00:14:10.959 --> 00:14:11.819
 So this was a command,

00:14:11.939 --> 00:14:12.939
 a way in which

00:14:12.939 --> 00:14:14.139
 the brother's lineage

00:14:14.139 --> 00:14:15.259
 was maintained

00:14:15.259 --> 00:14:17.319
 that an unmarried brother

00:14:17.319 --> 00:14:18.179
 living in the home

00:14:18.179 --> 00:14:19.879
 would step into the role

00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:20.779
 of the husband,

00:14:20.860 --> 00:14:21.899
 would become the husband,

00:14:21.899 --> 00:14:23.240
 and the first son

00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:23.899
 would carry on

00:14:23.899 --> 00:14:25.959
 the name of his brother.

00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:26.600
 And there's some

00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:28.620
 extreme examples

00:14:28.620 --> 00:14:29.840
 and some severe punishments

00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:30.700
 that go on beyond that

00:14:30.700 --> 00:14:31.379
 you're welcome to read

00:14:31.379 --> 00:14:32.280
 in Deuteronomy 25

00:14:32.280 --> 00:14:33.700
 at a later time.

00:14:33.820 --> 00:14:34.660
 So they set up

00:14:34.660 --> 00:14:35.700
 a scenario for him

00:14:35.700 --> 00:14:36.220
 where there are

00:14:36.220 --> 00:14:37.139
 seven brothers

00:14:37.139 --> 00:14:38.360
 living in a house together.

00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:39.540
 The first one's married

00:14:39.540 --> 00:14:40.019
 and they go through

00:14:40.019 --> 00:14:40.900
 this process

00:14:40.900 --> 00:14:43.060
 of death and remarriage

00:14:43.060 --> 00:14:43.759
 and death and remarriage

00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:44.580
 and death and remarriage

00:14:44.580 --> 00:14:46.100
 and none of them have

00:14:46.100 --> 00:14:47.019
 a child.

00:14:47.420 --> 00:14:48.259
 There's never a child.

00:14:48.280 --> 00:14:48.900
 There's never a child

00:14:48.900 --> 00:14:50.620
 to carry on the posterity

00:14:50.620 --> 00:14:51.820
 and they finally wrap

00:14:51.820 --> 00:14:52.460
 all this up

00:14:52.460 --> 00:14:53.240
 in the resurrection.

00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:54.160
 So if this thing

00:14:54.160 --> 00:14:55.420
 called resurrection is true,

00:14:55.419 --> 00:14:56.439
 if it happens,

00:14:56.500 --> 00:14:58.360
 if there's life after this,

00:14:58.979 --> 00:15:00.439
 whose wife will she be?

00:15:01.479 --> 00:15:02.199
 Oh, what are you going

00:15:02.199 --> 00:15:03.079
 to do with that, Jesus?

00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:04.419
 Whose wife is she going to be?

00:15:04.439 --> 00:15:06.019
 She had seven husbands.

00:15:06.899 --> 00:15:08.120
 What are we going to do?

00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:09.679
 And Jesus answers

00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:10.899
 in the great wisdom

00:15:10.899 --> 00:15:12.779
 that he always does.

00:15:13.479 --> 00:15:13.639
 Right?

00:15:13.899 --> 00:15:15.159
 A double indictment.

00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:16.759
 And you see that he says

00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:17.639
 in verse 24,

00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:19.039
 you are wrong.

00:15:19.139 --> 00:15:20.279
 And at the end of verse 27,

00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:21.199
 he says again,

00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:24.019
 you are quite wrong

00:15:24.019 --> 00:15:25.620
 because you know

00:15:25.620 --> 00:15:27.120
 neither the scriptures

00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:29.319
 nor the power

00:15:29.319 --> 00:15:30.539
 of God.

00:15:31.079 --> 00:15:33.199
 You do not know

00:15:33.199 --> 00:15:34.639
 the scriptures.

00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:35.639
 This would have been

00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:37.559
 an incredible statement

00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:38.939
 to say to these men

00:15:38.939 --> 00:15:40.199
 in this day.

00:15:40.699 --> 00:15:41.419
 These were the leaders.

00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:42.559
 These were the guys

00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:44.620
 that knew the scriptures.

00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:45.620
 These were the guys

00:15:45.620 --> 00:15:46.179
 in positions

00:15:46.179 --> 00:15:47.899
 of religious authority.

00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:48.819
 These are the guys

00:15:48.819 --> 00:15:49.899
 that spent their days

00:15:49.899 --> 00:15:51.939
 studying the scriptures.

00:15:51.940 --> 00:15:52.760
 In fact,

00:15:52.800 --> 00:15:53.620
 this particular group

00:15:53.620 --> 00:15:54.120
 were the guys

00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:54.540
 that said,

00:15:54.820 --> 00:15:55.340
 we're not even going

00:15:55.340 --> 00:15:56.500
 to listen to oral traditions.

00:15:56.500 --> 00:15:57.400
 We're going to stay

00:15:57.400 --> 00:15:59.540
 honed in on the scriptures.

00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:00.820
 More than that,

00:16:01.280 --> 00:16:03.020
 Moses is our great father.

00:16:03.160 --> 00:16:04.000
 We're going to really,

00:16:04.140 --> 00:16:05.180
 really apply ourselves

00:16:05.180 --> 00:16:06.560
 to those books,

00:16:06.660 --> 00:16:07.360
 to the Pentateuch,

00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:08.740
 to those five.

00:16:08.980 --> 00:16:09.220
 Right?

00:16:09.620 --> 00:16:10.160
 This would have been

00:16:10.160 --> 00:16:11.480
 shocking to them.

00:16:11.980 --> 00:16:14.480
 You do not know

00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:15.440
 the scriptures.

00:16:15.800 --> 00:16:16.440
 They had no clear

00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:17.000
 understanding

00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:17.920
 of the scriptures at all.

00:16:18.160 --> 00:16:18.480
 In fact,

00:16:18.500 --> 00:16:19.200
 if they had,

00:16:19.340 --> 00:16:20.400
 they would be leading Israel

00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:22.519
 in a much different way.

00:16:22.779 --> 00:16:23.579
 Jesus is going to continue

00:16:23.579 --> 00:16:25.179
 to establish this for us

00:16:25.179 --> 00:16:27.299
 and show us the way of God

00:16:27.299 --> 00:16:28.659
 rather than the way

00:16:28.659 --> 00:16:30.559
 of apostate Judaism.

00:16:31.179 --> 00:16:31.259
 Right?

00:16:31.340 --> 00:16:32.019
 Jews in this day,

00:16:32.079 --> 00:16:32.579
 by and large,

00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:34.139
 didn't follow the ways of God.

00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:36.379
 They followed some set-up religion

00:16:36.379 --> 00:16:37.340
 that they had formed.

00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:38.379
 It had kind of come out

00:16:38.379 --> 00:16:39.480
 of the law of God.

00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:40.779
 But they had formulated it

00:16:40.779 --> 00:16:41.459
 and thought that they were

00:16:41.459 --> 00:16:42.419
 in right standing with Him

00:16:42.419 --> 00:16:43.299
 because of the things

00:16:43.299 --> 00:16:44.419
 that they did

00:16:44.419 --> 00:16:45.860
 rather than the condition

00:16:45.860 --> 00:16:47.960
 of their heart.

00:16:48.579 --> 00:16:48.699
 Right?

00:16:48.700 --> 00:16:50.140
 You do not know

00:16:50.140 --> 00:16:51.259
 the scriptures.

00:16:52.180 --> 00:16:53.100
 And this God

00:16:53.100 --> 00:16:53.900
 that they claimed

00:16:53.900 --> 00:16:54.520
 to worship,

00:16:55.460 --> 00:16:56.640
 they apparently

00:16:56.640 --> 00:16:57.940
 had no real understanding

00:16:57.940 --> 00:16:58.920
 of His character

00:16:58.920 --> 00:17:00.540
 because He also says

00:17:00.540 --> 00:17:01.900
 nor the power of God,

00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:02.720
 the God that can,

00:17:02.820 --> 00:17:03.320
 in fact,

00:17:03.620 --> 00:17:04.620
 raise someone

00:17:04.620 --> 00:17:05.559
 from the dead.

00:17:05.620 --> 00:17:06.380
 You don't understand

00:17:06.380 --> 00:17:08.360
 either of these things.

00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:09.460
 And we see so often

00:17:09.460 --> 00:17:10.420
 it would seem

00:17:10.420 --> 00:17:11.440
 with the Pharisees

00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:12.220
 that they worshipped

00:17:12.220 --> 00:17:13.319
 the right God

00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:14.340
 wrongly.

00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:15.620
 In the case of the Sadducees,

00:17:15.620 --> 00:17:16.340
 it seems that they were

00:17:16.340 --> 00:17:17.680
 worshipping the wrong God

00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:19.460
 wrongly altogether.

00:17:21.580 --> 00:17:22.420
 Jesus goes on

00:17:22.420 --> 00:17:23.740
 to explain what He means.

00:17:24.019 --> 00:17:24.700
 Verse 25,

00:17:26.259 --> 00:17:27.240
 For when they rise

00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:27.820
 from the dead,

00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:29.700
 they neither marry

00:17:29.700 --> 00:17:31.060
 nor are given in marriage

00:17:31.060 --> 00:17:32.100
 but are like angels

00:17:32.100 --> 00:17:33.600
 in heaven.

00:17:34.539 --> 00:17:36.000
 Now here He's introducing

00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:37.120
 some additional

00:17:37.120 --> 00:17:39.080
 theological information

00:17:39.080 --> 00:17:40.220
 to the scene of this day.

00:17:40.560 --> 00:17:41.340
 I looked and looked.

00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:42.500
 I thought for sure

00:17:42.500 --> 00:17:43.299
 He had to have been

00:17:43.299 --> 00:17:44.080
 quoting something

00:17:44.080 --> 00:17:44.640
 in the Old Testament.

00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:46.160
 Showing these men

00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:47.080
 how they really

00:17:47.080 --> 00:17:48.040
 should have known

00:17:48.040 --> 00:17:49.000
 and really should have

00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:50.340
 understood their Scriptures

00:17:50.340 --> 00:17:51.560
 and known this.

00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:53.340
 That there was no marriage

00:17:53.340 --> 00:17:53.860
 after.

00:17:54.019 --> 00:17:54.680
 There's not.

00:17:54.740 --> 00:17:55.320
 That I could tell.

00:17:55.600 --> 00:17:56.320
 Someone please tell me

00:17:56.320 --> 00:17:57.680
 if I'm wrong about that

00:17:57.680 --> 00:17:58.320
 later.

00:17:58.440 --> 00:17:59.019
 Not at this moment.

00:17:59.960 --> 00:18:00.620
 But He's introducing

00:18:00.620 --> 00:18:01.519
 some new theological

00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:03.480
 information to the scene.

00:18:04.019 --> 00:18:05.500
 But we know now

00:18:05.500 --> 00:18:07.840
 what marriage is for.

00:18:07.980 --> 00:18:08.600
 What is marriage

00:18:08.600 --> 00:18:10.220
 meant to do?

00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:12.160
 Why marriage?

00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:12.640
 Marriage.

00:18:13.120 --> 00:18:13.900
 We find out from

00:18:13.900 --> 00:18:15.340
 Ephesians chapter 5

00:18:15.340 --> 00:18:16.220
 that marriage is

00:18:16.220 --> 00:18:17.340
 prefigurative.

00:18:17.560 --> 00:18:18.660
 It's a shadow.

00:18:18.860 --> 00:18:19.840
 It's something meant

00:18:19.840 --> 00:18:22.279
 to point to a greater thing.

00:18:22.360 --> 00:18:23.279
 And that is our union

00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:24.680
 with Christ.

00:18:26.040 --> 00:18:26.980
 Imperfect people

00:18:26.980 --> 00:18:28.100
 joining together

00:18:28.100 --> 00:18:29.600
 to be made more perfect,

00:18:29.700 --> 00:18:30.360
 to procreate.

00:18:30.420 --> 00:18:30.840
 There are certainly

00:18:30.840 --> 00:18:31.880
 some other,

00:18:32.100 --> 00:18:34.300
 some subservient purposes

00:18:34.300 --> 00:18:35.259
 for marriage.

00:18:35.340 --> 00:18:36.560
 But the major purpose,

00:18:36.980 --> 00:18:38.000
 the major reason

00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:38.759
 that we are joined

00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:39.740
 in union with one another

00:18:39.740 --> 00:18:41.420
 is to show this picture

00:18:41.420 --> 00:18:42.460
 of this relationship

00:18:42.460 --> 00:18:43.660
 between Christ

00:18:43.660 --> 00:18:44.839
 and the church.

00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:46.200
 Let me read to you

00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:46.819
 Ephesians 5

00:18:46.819 --> 00:18:47.680
 beginning in verse 31.

00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:49.259
 Therefore a man

00:18:49.259 --> 00:18:50.259
 shall leave his father

00:18:50.259 --> 00:18:50.720
 and mother

00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:52.220
 and hold fast to his wife

00:18:52.220 --> 00:18:53.220
 and the two

00:18:53.220 --> 00:18:55.279
 shall become one flesh.

00:18:55.940 --> 00:18:57.579
 This mystery is profound

00:18:57.579 --> 00:18:58.259
 and I am saying

00:18:58.259 --> 00:18:58.940
 that it refers

00:18:58.940 --> 00:19:00.180
 to Christ

00:19:00.180 --> 00:19:01.920
 and the church.

00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:03.240
 We get to have

00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:04.359
 a very clear understanding

00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:05.339
 of this on this side.

00:19:05.420 --> 00:19:06.240
 There's no need

00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:07.500
 for marriage anymore

00:19:07.500 --> 00:19:08.599
 once we're raised

00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:09.160
 from the dead

00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:10.700
 because we don't need

00:19:10.700 --> 00:19:11.440
 it any longer.

00:19:12.220 --> 00:19:13.160
 It's meant to be

00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:13.720
 a picture,

00:19:13.900 --> 00:19:14.560
 a snapshot

00:19:14.560 --> 00:19:15.940
 of the real thing.

00:19:16.180 --> 00:19:16.880
 Once we have

00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:17.519
 the real thing,

00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:18.620
 it's no longer

00:19:18.620 --> 00:19:19.480
 necessary

00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:20.660
 to be married.

00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:22.600
 Now let's read

00:19:22.600 --> 00:19:23.259
 a little bit more

00:19:23.259 --> 00:19:24.519
 about resurrection.

00:19:25.080 --> 00:19:25.820
 I mentioned

00:19:25.820 --> 00:19:27.340
 Daniel 12, 2 to you.

00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:27.980
 Let me read to you

00:19:27.980 --> 00:19:28.980
 Daniel 12, 2

00:19:28.980 --> 00:19:30.360
 and verse 3.

00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:31.800
 And many of those

00:19:31.800 --> 00:19:32.620
 who sleep

00:19:32.620 --> 00:19:34.040
 in the dust of the earth

00:19:34.040 --> 00:19:34.960
 shall awake,

00:19:35.540 --> 00:19:37.259
 some to everlasting life

00:19:37.259 --> 00:19:38.600
 and some to shame

00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:39.919
 and everlasting contempt.

00:19:40.399 --> 00:19:41.559
 And those who are wise

00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:42.279
 shall shine

00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:43.019
 like the brightness

00:19:43.019 --> 00:19:44.219
 of the sky above.

00:19:44.459 --> 00:19:45.399
 And those who turn

00:19:45.399 --> 00:19:46.299
 many to righteousness

00:19:46.299 --> 00:19:47.500
 like the stars

00:19:47.500 --> 00:19:50.000
 forever and ever.

00:19:50.859 --> 00:19:51.779
 So catch here

00:19:51.779 --> 00:19:52.399
 the connection

00:19:52.399 --> 00:19:53.000
 he's making

00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:54.219
 as he's drawing

00:19:54.219 --> 00:19:55.079
 this out for us.

00:19:55.419 --> 00:19:56.000
 What marriage

00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:56.779
 is meant for

00:19:56.779 --> 00:19:58.559
 and that we are going

00:19:58.559 --> 00:19:59.759
 to be like angels

00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:01.119
 in heaven.

00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:02.459
 From Daniel 12, 2 there,

00:20:02.699 --> 00:20:03.740
 when we rise

00:20:03.740 --> 00:20:04.359
 from the dead,

00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:05.379
 we shall shine

00:20:05.379 --> 00:20:06.119
 like the brightness

00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:07.079
 of the sky above

00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:08.219
 and those who turn

00:20:08.219 --> 00:20:08.879
 many to righteousness

00:20:08.879 --> 00:20:09.739
 like the stars

00:20:09.739 --> 00:20:11.359
 forever and ever.

00:20:11.479 --> 00:20:12.319
 And in the Old Testament

00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:13.179
 when brightness

00:20:13.179 --> 00:20:13.959
 is talked about,

00:20:14.099 --> 00:20:15.019
 it's speaking of,

00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:15.699
 it's referring to,

00:20:15.779 --> 00:20:16.339
 it's referencing

00:20:16.339 --> 00:20:18.299
 the glory of God.

00:20:18.639 --> 00:20:19.799
 So when we rise,

00:20:19.919 --> 00:20:21.000
 we'll be made perfect

00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:22.459
 and glorify God

00:20:22.459 --> 00:20:23.159
 forever.

00:20:23.419 --> 00:20:24.579
 This is how we will be

00:20:24.579 --> 00:20:26.179
 like the angels

00:20:26.179 --> 00:20:27.179
 in heaven.

00:20:27.579 --> 00:20:28.719
 The angels in heaven

00:20:28.719 --> 00:20:29.899
 versus the angels

00:20:29.899 --> 00:20:30.719
 not in heaven,

00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:31.319
 those who were

00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:32.299
 cast down,

00:20:32.379 --> 00:20:32.859
 which are actually

00:20:32.859 --> 00:20:34.179
 mentioned as stars,

00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:35.199
 a third of the stars

00:20:35.199 --> 00:20:36.599
 being cast down

00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:37.539
 out of heaven.

00:20:37.659 --> 00:20:38.199
 But the angels

00:20:38.199 --> 00:20:38.740
 in heaven

00:20:38.740 --> 00:20:39.859
 worship God

00:20:39.859 --> 00:20:41.939
 perfectly forever.

00:20:42.379 --> 00:20:43.599
 And this will be

00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:44.539
 us.

00:20:45.139 --> 00:20:46.399
 Nehemiah 9, 6

00:20:46.399 --> 00:20:47.139
 says,

00:20:47.500 --> 00:20:49.039
 You are the Lord,

00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:49.939
 you alone.

00:20:50.019 --> 00:20:51.659
 This is Israel's

00:20:51.659 --> 00:20:52.519
 prayer of repentance

00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:53.319
 found right in the

00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:54.339
 middle of it.

00:20:54.699 --> 00:20:55.759
 You have made heaven

00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:56.779
 the heavens of heaven

00:20:56.779 --> 00:20:58.439
 with all their host,

00:20:58.879 --> 00:20:59.859
 the earth and all

00:20:59.859 --> 00:21:00.419
 that is on it,

00:21:00.479 --> 00:21:01.639
 the seas and all

00:21:01.639 --> 00:21:02.279
 that is in them.

00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:03.259
 And you preserve

00:21:03.259 --> 00:21:03.859
 all of them

00:21:03.859 --> 00:21:05.559
 and the host of heaven

00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:06.759
 worships you,

00:21:06.899 --> 00:21:08.359
 the angels in heaven

00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:09.879
 forever and ever

00:21:09.879 --> 00:21:10.940
 and ever.

00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:12.139
 So there's this new

00:21:12.139 --> 00:21:13.079
 theological information

00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:14.559
 introduced to the scene

00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:15.639
 to help us better

00:21:15.639 --> 00:21:16.460
 understand.

00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:17.480
 And Jesus is saying

00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:17.920
 to them,

00:21:18.139 --> 00:21:19.399
 you don't understand

00:21:19.399 --> 00:21:19.779
 the scriptures

00:21:19.779 --> 00:21:20.599
 and you don't know

00:21:20.599 --> 00:21:21.359
 the power of God

00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:23.180
 for resurrection.

00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:25.579
 He more explicitly

00:21:25.579 --> 00:21:26.319
 addresses it

00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:27.559
 and brilliantly

00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:28.440
 now uses

00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:30.200
 their very text

00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:31.119
 to make his points.

00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:31.979
 And so now he quotes

00:21:31.979 --> 00:21:33.799
 from the Pentateuch.

00:21:33.899 --> 00:21:34.459
 And as for the dead

00:21:34.459 --> 00:21:35.039
 being raised,

00:21:35.179 --> 00:21:35.659
 have you not read

00:21:35.659 --> 00:21:36.399
 in the book of Moses

00:21:36.399 --> 00:21:36.919
 in the passage

00:21:36.919 --> 00:21:37.599
 about the bush

00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:39.179
 how God spoke to him

00:21:39.179 --> 00:21:39.500
 saying,

00:21:39.599 --> 00:21:40.279
 this is from Exodus

00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:41.319
 chapter 3,

00:21:42.099 --> 00:21:43.239
 I am the God of Abraham

00:21:43.239 --> 00:21:44.519
 and the God of Isaac

00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:46.519
 and the God of Jacob.

00:21:46.659 --> 00:21:47.359
 Verse 27,

00:21:47.500 --> 00:21:49.039
 He is not God of the dead

00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:50.679
 but of the living.

00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:51.019
 You see,

00:21:51.099 --> 00:21:52.479
 as God is saying this

00:21:52.479 --> 00:21:52.979
 to Moses,

00:21:53.139 --> 00:21:53.599
 He's saying,

00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:56.539
 I am and they are.

00:21:56.599 --> 00:21:57.299
 I'm not worshipped

00:21:57.299 --> 00:21:58.279
 by corpses.

00:21:58.680 --> 00:21:59.599
 I am God.

00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:00.839
 I am the God of Abraham.

00:22:01.299 --> 00:22:02.700
 Abraham worships me.

00:22:03.059 --> 00:22:04.139
 Abraham lives

00:22:04.139 --> 00:22:04.919
 and he worships me.

00:22:04.980 --> 00:22:05.879
 I am the God of Isaac.

00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:06.799
 Isaac lives

00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:07.980
 and he worships me.

00:22:08.099 --> 00:22:09.200
 And I am the God of Jacob

00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:10.119
 who lives

00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:12.099
 and he worships me.

00:22:12.220 --> 00:22:14.200
 I am and they are.

00:22:14.259 --> 00:22:15.200
 Not that they were

00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:17.579
 but that they are.

00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:20.039
 So he is the God

00:22:20.039 --> 00:22:21.259
 not of the dead

00:22:21.259 --> 00:22:22.879
 but of the living.

00:22:23.619 --> 00:22:25.579
 He totally deconstructs

00:22:25.579 --> 00:22:26.599
 their entire idea

00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:27.759
 of resurrection

00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:29.960
 and what that means now

00:22:29.960 --> 00:22:31.539
 for their lives.

00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:33.399
 Totally destroys it.

00:22:33.439 --> 00:22:34.619
 They come to humiliate him

00:22:34.619 --> 00:22:35.779
 and he flips it around

00:22:35.779 --> 00:22:37.000
 this double indictment

00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:38.220
 and humiliates them

00:22:38.220 --> 00:22:40.099
 in return.

00:22:41.179 --> 00:22:42.179
 So what do we gain

00:22:42.179 --> 00:22:43.619
 from a little story

00:22:43.619 --> 00:22:44.539
 like this?

00:22:44.819 --> 00:22:46.099
 A pericope.

00:22:46.419 --> 00:22:47.579
 I have learned

00:22:47.579 --> 00:22:48.779
 I was mispronouncing that

00:22:48.779 --> 00:22:49.579
 as of recent.

00:22:49.919 --> 00:22:50.619
 Not a pericope.

00:22:50.859 --> 00:22:51.460
 A pericope.

00:22:52.059 --> 00:22:53.439
 This little story.

00:22:53.500 --> 00:22:54.480
 What is the application?

00:22:54.779 --> 00:22:55.299
 What does it mean

00:22:55.299 --> 00:22:56.180
 for us today?

00:22:56.259 --> 00:22:56.700
 If the scriptures

00:22:56.700 --> 00:22:57.200
 were written

00:22:57.200 --> 00:22:58.339
 for this day

00:22:58.339 --> 00:22:59.139
 and for us

00:22:59.139 --> 00:22:59.720
 in this day

00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:00.519
 what does this story

00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:02.419
 mean for us?

00:23:02.700 --> 00:23:03.240
 Three things

00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:04.299
 I want to address.

00:23:05.159 --> 00:23:05.500
 Firstly

00:23:05.500 --> 00:23:08.220
 do not be

00:23:08.220 --> 00:23:09.799
 like the Sadducees.

00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:11.559
 Do not be

00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:12.960
 like the Sadducees.

00:23:13.079 --> 00:23:13.919
 Not knowing

00:23:13.919 --> 00:23:15.159
 your scriptures

00:23:15.159 --> 00:23:16.899
 or the power

00:23:16.899 --> 00:23:17.779
 of God.

00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:19.299
 We live in a very

00:23:19.299 --> 00:23:20.740
 scripture rich

00:23:20.740 --> 00:23:21.919
 environment.

00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:22.680
 I don't know

00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:23.440
 all of you in the room.

00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:24.159
 In fact we have a number

00:23:24.159 --> 00:23:25.059
 of guests with us today.

00:23:25.059 --> 00:23:25.379
 I don't know

00:23:25.379 --> 00:23:25.799
 if you have ever

00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:27.419
 placed believing faith

00:23:27.419 --> 00:23:28.519
 in Jesus Christ

00:23:28.519 --> 00:23:29.679
 but it is likely

00:23:29.679 --> 00:23:30.879
 it is most likely

00:23:30.879 --> 00:23:31.779
 that you have heard

00:23:31.779 --> 00:23:32.679
 the gospel.

00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:33.679
 That you have

00:23:33.679 --> 00:23:35.119
 had a copy

00:23:35.119 --> 00:23:36.039
 of the scriptures.

00:23:36.339 --> 00:23:37.000
 That you may have

00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:38.039
 actually read

00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:38.839
 the scriptures

00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:39.839
 themselves.

00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:41.139
 Don't be like

00:23:41.139 --> 00:23:42.179
 the Sadducees.

00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:43.419
 God himself

00:23:43.419 --> 00:23:44.240
 has spoken.

00:23:44.700 --> 00:23:45.299
 He has given us

00:23:45.299 --> 00:23:46.019
 a book

00:23:46.019 --> 00:23:46.659
 that we might

00:23:46.659 --> 00:23:47.299
 know him

00:23:47.299 --> 00:23:48.059
 and know the way

00:23:48.059 --> 00:23:48.639
 of holiness.

00:23:49.460 --> 00:23:49.859
 That we might

00:23:49.859 --> 00:23:50.799
 turn from sin

00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:51.960
 and pursue him.

00:23:52.099 --> 00:23:52.819
 Do not be

00:23:52.819 --> 00:23:54.299
 like the Sadducees.

00:23:54.700 --> 00:23:55.759
 Having some degree

00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:57.119
 of mental assent.

00:23:57.399 --> 00:23:58.359
 Some understanding

00:23:58.359 --> 00:23:58.779
 of it.

00:23:59.019 --> 00:23:59.839
 And not allowing

00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:00.740
 it to work

00:24:00.740 --> 00:24:02.139
 into your heart.

00:24:03.919 --> 00:24:04.819
 The Sadducees

00:24:04.819 --> 00:24:05.259
 misunderstood

00:24:05.259 --> 00:24:06.299
 the resurrection

00:24:06.299 --> 00:24:07.039
 altogether.

00:24:08.159 --> 00:24:09.159
 Christians understand

00:24:09.159 --> 00:24:09.439
 it.

00:24:09.779 --> 00:24:10.359
 We understand

00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:11.000
 it to be

00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:11.679
 true.

00:24:11.819 --> 00:24:12.359
 And in fact

00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:13.399
 if it's not true

00:24:13.399 --> 00:24:14.359
 as the Sadducees

00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:14.859
 believed

00:24:14.859 --> 00:24:16.519
 we are people

00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:17.159
 to be

00:24:17.159 --> 00:24:18.079
 most

00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:19.459
 pitied.

00:24:19.779 --> 00:24:20.399
 Paul says this

00:24:20.399 --> 00:24:21.019
 in 1 Corinthians

00:24:21.019 --> 00:24:22.119
 chapter 15

00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:23.459
 For if the dead

00:24:23.459 --> 00:24:24.219
 are not raised

00:24:24.219 --> 00:24:25.639
 not even Christ

00:24:25.639 --> 00:24:26.759
 has been raised.

00:24:27.219 --> 00:24:27.839
 The Sadducees

00:24:27.839 --> 00:24:28.379
 were right.

00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:29.439
 If the dead

00:24:29.439 --> 00:24:29.959
 aren't raised

00:24:29.959 --> 00:24:30.619
 not even Christ

00:24:30.619 --> 00:24:31.099
 has been raised.

00:24:31.439 --> 00:24:31.979
 And if Christ

00:24:31.979 --> 00:24:32.939
 has not been raised

00:24:32.939 --> 00:24:33.919
 your faith

00:24:33.919 --> 00:24:34.599
 is futile

00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:35.559
 and you are still

00:24:35.559 --> 00:24:36.519
 in your sins.

00:24:37.379 --> 00:24:38.219
 Then those also

00:24:38.219 --> 00:24:38.759
 who have fallen

00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:39.679
 asleep in Christ

00:24:39.679 --> 00:24:40.559
 have perished.

00:24:40.779 --> 00:24:41.240
 The Sadducees

00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:41.719
 were right.

00:24:42.019 --> 00:24:42.639
 They're gone.

00:24:43.399 --> 00:24:44.179
 If in Christ

00:24:44.180 --> 00:24:44.960
 we have hope

00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:45.720
 in this life

00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:46.120
 only

00:24:46.120 --> 00:24:47.700
 we are of all

00:24:47.700 --> 00:24:48.440
 people

00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:49.299
 most

00:24:49.299 --> 00:24:50.279
 to be pitied.

00:24:50.820 --> 00:24:51.279
 If our faith

00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:52.019
 only means

00:24:52.019 --> 00:24:52.980
 something for us

00:24:52.980 --> 00:24:54.720
 now in this life

00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:55.279
 and it does

00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:55.680
 certainly

00:24:55.680 --> 00:24:56.259
 but if that's

00:24:56.259 --> 00:24:57.060
 it for us

00:24:57.060 --> 00:24:58.200
 we are to be

00:24:58.200 --> 00:24:59.039
 pitied

00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:00.080
 as Christians

00:25:00.080 --> 00:25:00.820
 if the resurrection

00:25:00.820 --> 00:25:02.200
 is not true.

00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:03.440
 Don't be like

00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:04.299
 the Sadducees.

00:25:04.779 --> 00:25:05.580
 Place believing

00:25:05.580 --> 00:25:06.720
 faith in Christ.

00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:07.500
 Believe in the

00:25:07.500 --> 00:25:07.940
 resurrection.

00:25:08.180 --> 00:25:08.620
 Believe that

00:25:08.620 --> 00:25:09.580
 in Him

00:25:09.580 --> 00:25:10.720
 there is

00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:11.680
 life.

00:25:13.440 --> 00:25:13.920
 Secondly

00:25:13.920 --> 00:25:15.960
 if you have

00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:16.500
 been saved

00:25:16.500 --> 00:25:16.880
 if you have

00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:17.340
 placed

00:25:17.340 --> 00:25:18.400
 saving faith

00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:18.920
 in Christ

00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:19.720
 you have

00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:20.120
 been saved

00:25:20.120 --> 00:25:20.560
 by grace

00:25:20.560 --> 00:25:20.840
 alone

00:25:20.840 --> 00:25:21.300
 through faith

00:25:21.300 --> 00:25:21.620
 alone

00:25:21.620 --> 00:25:22.980
 do not

00:25:22.980 --> 00:25:23.320
 be like

00:25:23.320 --> 00:25:24.019
 the Sadducees.

00:25:25.320 --> 00:25:25.940
 If you are

00:25:25.940 --> 00:25:26.519
 a Christian

00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:27.759
 do not

00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:28.060
 be

00:25:28.060 --> 00:25:29.019
 like the

00:25:29.019 --> 00:25:29.620
 Sadducees.

00:25:30.740 --> 00:25:31.640
 I'm afraid

00:25:31.640 --> 00:25:32.100
 that we

00:25:32.100 --> 00:25:33.320
 live in a

00:25:33.320 --> 00:25:34.320
 biblically

00:25:34.320 --> 00:25:35.180
 illiterate

00:25:35.180 --> 00:25:36.120
 time.

00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:37.880
 Copies of

00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:38.279
 God's Word

00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:39.039
 everywhere.

00:25:39.360 --> 00:25:40.060
 I've got a

00:25:40.060 --> 00:25:40.779
 hard copy of it

00:25:40.779 --> 00:25:41.259
 here in front

00:25:41.259 --> 00:25:41.440
 of me.

00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:41.940
 I can

00:25:41.940 --> 00:25:42.440
 pull up

00:25:42.440 --> 00:25:42.720
 on my

00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:43.200
 iPad

00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:44.000
 every

00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:44.519
 single

00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:45.059
 translation

00:25:45.059 --> 00:25:45.840
 imaginable

00:25:45.840 --> 00:25:46.100
 in a

00:25:46.100 --> 00:25:46.259
 matter

00:25:46.259 --> 00:25:46.440
 of

00:25:46.440 --> 00:25:46.860
 moments.

00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:47.279
 I've

00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:47.680
 got so

00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:47.900
 many

00:25:47.900 --> 00:25:48.299
 tools

00:25:48.299 --> 00:25:48.799
 practical

00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:49.240
 tools

00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:49.500
 at my

00:25:49.500 --> 00:25:49.900
 fingertips.

00:25:50.400 --> 00:25:50.680
 So

00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:51.500
 much

00:25:51.500 --> 00:25:51.740
 is

00:25:51.740 --> 00:25:52.360
 access

00:25:52.360 --> 00:25:52.660
 to

00:25:52.660 --> 00:25:53.000
 us.

00:25:53.220 --> 00:25:53.779
 We have

00:25:53.779 --> 00:25:54.279
 so

00:25:54.279 --> 00:25:55.200
 much

00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:55.740
 of the

00:25:55.740 --> 00:25:55.880
 Word

00:25:55.880 --> 00:25:56.019
 of

00:25:56.019 --> 00:25:56.240
 God

00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:56.400
 but

00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:56.519
 it

00:25:56.519 --> 00:25:56.920
 seems

00:25:56.920 --> 00:25:57.120
 that

00:25:57.120 --> 00:25:57.660
 so

00:25:57.660 --> 00:25:58.140
 many

00:25:58.140 --> 00:25:58.340
 of

00:25:58.340 --> 00:25:58.519
 us

00:25:58.519 --> 00:25:58.799
 know

00:25:58.799 --> 00:25:58.960
 it

00:25:58.960 --> 00:25:59.420
 very

00:25:59.420 --> 00:26:00.460
 little.

00:26:01.539 --> 00:26:01.820
 Just

00:26:01.820 --> 00:26:02.320
 really

00:26:02.320 --> 00:26:03.100
 don't

00:26:03.100 --> 00:26:03.960
 understand

00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:04.740
 the

00:26:04.740 --> 00:26:05.019
 scriptures.

00:26:05.160 --> 00:26:05.279
 It's

00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:05.400
 a

00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:05.980
 travesty

00:26:05.980 --> 00:26:06.160
 as

00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:06.500
 Christians

00:26:06.500 --> 00:26:06.900
 that we

00:26:06.900 --> 00:26:07.720
 wouldn't

00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:08.559
 know

00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:09.120
 the

00:26:09.120 --> 00:26:09.279
 Word

00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:09.440
 of

00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:09.900
 God.

00:26:09.900 --> 00:26:10.400
 We're

00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:10.540
 a

00:26:10.540 --> 00:26:10.800
 people

00:26:10.800 --> 00:26:10.980
 of

00:26:10.980 --> 00:26:11.120
 the

00:26:11.120 --> 00:26:11.340
 Word.

00:26:11.500 --> 00:26:11.700
 We

00:26:11.700 --> 00:26:11.980
 came

00:26:11.980 --> 00:26:12.140
 to

00:26:12.140 --> 00:26:12.380
 saving

00:26:12.380 --> 00:26:12.820
 faith

00:26:12.820 --> 00:26:13.140
 by

00:26:13.140 --> 00:26:13.340
 the

00:26:13.340 --> 00:26:13.500
 Word

00:26:13.500 --> 00:26:13.640
 of

00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:13.920
 God

00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:14.500
 preached

00:26:14.500 --> 00:26:14.700
 to

00:26:14.700 --> 00:26:14.980
 us.

00:26:15.080 --> 00:26:15.220
 This

00:26:15.220 --> 00:26:15.300
 is

00:26:15.300 --> 00:26:15.440
 the

00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:15.680
 way

00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:15.920
 in which

00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:16.220
 God

00:26:16.220 --> 00:26:16.380
 has

00:26:16.380 --> 00:26:16.640
 chosen

00:26:16.640 --> 00:26:16.800
 to

00:26:16.800 --> 00:26:17.240
 communicate

00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:17.500
 to

00:26:17.500 --> 00:26:17.660
 us.

00:26:17.940 --> 00:26:18.200
 Why

00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:18.400
 would

00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:18.540
 we

00:26:18.540 --> 00:26:18.780
 not

00:26:18.780 --> 00:26:19.320
 pour

00:26:19.320 --> 00:26:19.540
 over

00:26:19.540 --> 00:26:19.780
 this?

00:26:20.120 --> 00:26:20.280
 Why

00:26:20.280 --> 00:26:20.460
 would

00:26:20.460 --> 00:26:20.580
 we

00:26:20.580 --> 00:26:20.780
 not

00:26:20.780 --> 00:26:21.060
 know

00:26:21.060 --> 00:26:21.820
 every

00:26:21.820 --> 00:26:22.340
 bit

00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:52.700
 one

00:27:52.700 --> 00:27:52.799
 of

00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:53.039
 those

00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:53.180
 like

00:27:53.180 --> 00:27:53.259
 a

00:27:53.259 --> 00:27:53.359
 little

00:27:53.359 --> 00:27:53.839
 placard

00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:54.240
 thing

00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:54.539
 like

00:27:54.539 --> 00:27:54.680
 a

00:27:54.680 --> 00:27:55.000
 rock

00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:55.159
 that

00:27:55.159 --> 00:27:55.319
 had

00:27:55.319 --> 00:27:56.099
 words

00:27:56.099 --> 00:27:56.740
 engraved

00:27:56.740 --> 00:27:56.980
 into

00:27:56.980 --> 00:27:57.220
 it

00:27:57.220 --> 00:27:57.579
 and

00:27:57.579 --> 00:27:57.779
 said

00:27:57.779 --> 00:27:58.220
 this

00:27:58.220 --> 00:27:59.720
 God

00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:00.099
 could

00:28:00.099 --> 00:28:00.359
 not

00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:00.559
 be

00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:00.980
 everywhere

00:28:00.980 --> 00:28:02.200
 so

00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:02.399
 he

00:28:02.399 --> 00:28:02.799
 created

00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:03.720
 grandfathers

00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:06.920
 oh

00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:07.339
 that's

00:28:07.339 --> 00:28:07.879
 so sweet

00:28:07.879 --> 00:28:08.399
 right

00:28:08.399 --> 00:28:09.680
 it's

00:28:09.680 --> 00:28:10.200
 heresy

00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:10.879
 right

00:28:10.879 --> 00:28:11.440
 it's

00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:11.859
 absolute

00:28:11.859 --> 00:28:12.480
 heresy

00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:14.259
 this

00:28:14.259 --> 00:28:14.420
 is

00:28:14.420 --> 00:28:14.599
 not

00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:14.720
 a

00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:14.940
 thing

00:28:14.940 --> 00:28:15.119
 in

00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:15.559
 fact

00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:16.759
 in

00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:17.299
 retrospect

00:28:17.299 --> 00:28:17.579
 I

00:28:17.579 --> 00:28:17.700
 kind

00:28:17.700 --> 00:28:17.779
 of

00:28:17.779 --> 00:28:17.899
 wish

00:28:17.899 --> 00:28:18.000
 I

00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:18.019
 had

00:28:18.019 --> 00:28:18.160
 gotten

00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:18.279
 her

00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:18.379
 to

00:28:18.379 --> 00:28:18.599
 buy

00:28:18.599 --> 00:28:18.740
 it

00:28:18.740 --> 00:28:18.819
 so

00:28:18.819 --> 00:28:18.920
 we

00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:19.160
 could

00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:19.240
 have

00:28:19.240 --> 00:28:19.440
 gotten

00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:19.980
 away

00:28:19.980 --> 00:28:20.200
 from

00:28:20.200 --> 00:28:20.440
 anybody

00:28:20.440 --> 00:28:20.839
 else

00:28:20.839 --> 00:28:21.019
 and

00:28:21.019 --> 00:28:22.099
 destroyed

00:28:22.099 --> 00:28:23.019
 such

00:28:23.019 --> 00:28:23.160
 a

00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:23.399
 thing

00:28:23.399 --> 00:28:23.879
 God

00:28:23.879 --> 00:28:24.359
 could

00:28:24.359 --> 00:28:24.559
 not

00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:24.740
 be

00:28:24.740 --> 00:28:25.259
 everywhere

00:28:25.259 --> 00:28:25.639
 God

00:28:25.639 --> 00:28:26.279
 poor

00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:26.519
 little

00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:26.879

00:28:26.879 --> 00:28:27.099
 little

00:28:27.099 --> 00:28:27.440
 pitiful

00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:27.859
 God

00:28:27.859 --> 00:28:28.099
 had

00:28:28.099 --> 00:28:28.200
 to

00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:28.299
 get

00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:16.939
 by

00:29:16.939 --> 00:29:17.099
 it

00:29:17.099 --> 00:29:17.879
 constantly

00:29:17.879 --> 00:29:18.419
 this

00:29:18.419 --> 00:29:18.559
 is

00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:18.779
 called

00:29:18.779 --> 00:29:18.960
 the

00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:19.279
 bread

00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:19.439
 of

00:29:19.439 --> 00:29:19.960
 life

00:29:19.960 --> 00:29:20.439
 right

00:29:20.439 --> 00:29:21.000
 feast

00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:21.279
 upon

00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:21.539
 it

00:29:21.539 --> 00:29:22.039
 right

00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:22.140
 you

00:29:22.140 --> 00:29:22.279
 need

00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:22.319
 to

00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:22.440
 be

00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:22.680
 taking

00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:22.859
 it

00:29:22.859 --> 00:29:23.019
 in

00:29:23.019 --> 00:29:23.539
 all

00:29:23.539 --> 00:29:23.720
 the

00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:24.079
 time

00:29:24.079 --> 00:29:24.420
 so

00:29:24.420 --> 00:29:24.599
 many

00:29:24.599 --> 00:29:24.700
 of

00:29:24.700 --> 00:29:24.799
 you

00:29:24.799 --> 00:29:24.920
 are

00:29:24.920 --> 00:29:25.559
 famished

00:29:25.559 --> 00:29:25.819
 because

00:29:25.819 --> 00:29:26.000
 you

00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:26.220
 have

00:29:26.220 --> 00:29:26.519
 a

00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:26.880
 meal

00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:27.200
 of

00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:27.420
 some

00:29:27.420 --> 00:29:27.819
 sort

00:29:27.819 --> 00:29:28.000
 I

00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:28.160
 hope

00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:28.259
 you're

00:29:28.259 --> 00:29:28.420
 even

00:29:28.420 --> 00:29:28.660
 paying

00:29:28.660 --> 00:29:29.059
 attention

00:29:29.059 --> 00:29:29.259
 and

00:29:29.259 --> 00:29:29.559
 taking

00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:29.759
 it

00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:30.059
 in

00:29:30.059 --> 00:29:31.240
 and

00:29:31.240 --> 00:29:31.339
 then

00:29:31.339 --> 00:29:31.420
 you

00:29:31.420 --> 00:29:31.559
 go

00:29:31.559 --> 00:29:31.880
 away

00:29:31.880 --> 00:29:32.119
 and

00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:32.220
 you

00:29:32.220 --> 00:29:32.319
 come

00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:32.480
 back

00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:32.599
 a

00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:32.740
 week

00:29:32.740 --> 00:29:33.059
 later

00:29:33.059 --> 00:29:33.759
 and

00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:33.839
 you

00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:33.960
 do

00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:34.079
 it

00:29:34.079 --> 00:29:34.420
 again

00:29:34.420 --> 00:29:35.079
 and

00:29:35.079 --> 00:29:35.200
 it's

00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:35.319
 not

00:29:35.319 --> 00:29:35.559
 having

00:29:35.559 --> 00:29:35.720
 any

00:29:35.720 --> 00:29:35.880
 real

00:29:35.880 --> 00:29:36.220
 effect

00:29:36.220 --> 00:29:36.380
 in

00:29:36.380 --> 00:29:36.500
 your

00:29:36.500 --> 00:29:36.759
 life

00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:37.000
 because

00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:37.140
 you're

00:29:37.140 --> 00:29:37.319
!

00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:37.740
 you're

00:29:37.740 --> 00:29:38.480
!

00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:38.480


00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:38.480


00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:41.240
 some

00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:41.359
 of

00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:41.420
 you

00:29:41.420 --> 00:29:41.620
 might

00:29:41.620 --> 00:29:41.859
 listen

00:29:41.859 --> 00:29:42.039
 to

00:29:42.039 --> 00:29:42.220
 some

00:29:42.220 --> 00:29:42.599
 supplemental

00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:42.960
 sermons

00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:43.160
 in

00:29:43.160 --> 00:29:43.420
 between

00:29:43.420 --> 00:29:43.819
 that's

00:29:43.819 --> 00:29:44.000
 not

00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:44.279
 enough

00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:44.819
 either

00:29:44.819 --> 00:29:45.299
 open

00:29:45.299 --> 00:29:45.480
 the

00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:45.599
 word

00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:45.740
 of

00:29:45.740 --> 00:29:46.099
 God

00:29:46.099 --> 00:29:46.440
 get

00:29:46.440 --> 00:29:46.559
 on

00:29:46.559 --> 00:29:46.700
 your

00:29:46.700 --> 00:29:47.039
 knees

00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:47.200
 and

00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:47.500
 ask

00:29:47.500 --> 00:29:47.680
 the

00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:47.920
 Lord

00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:48.380
 to

00:29:48.380 --> 00:29:48.859
 work

00:29:48.859 --> 00:29:49.400
 in

00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:49.500
 you

00:29:49.500 --> 00:29:49.620
 if

00:29:49.620 --> 00:29:49.779
 you're

00:29:49.779 --> 00:29:49.940
 a

00:29:49.940 --> 00:29:50.420
 Christian

00:29:50.420 --> 00:29:50.900
 you have

00:29:50.900 --> 00:29:51.039
 the

00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:51.339
 spirit

00:29:51.339 --> 00:29:51.539
 of

00:29:51.539 --> 00:29:51.859
 God

00:29:51.859 --> 00:29:52.259
 which

00:29:52.259 --> 00:29:52.480
 can

00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:53.079
 illuminate

00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:53.240
 the

00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:53.440
 scriptures

00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:53.720
 to

00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:53.839
 you

00:29:53.839 --> 00:29:54.039
 can

00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:54.220
 make

00:29:54.220 --> 00:29:54.359
 it

00:29:54.359 --> 00:29:54.839
 clear

00:29:54.839 --> 00:29:55.079
 to

00:29:55.079 --> 00:29:55.240
 you

00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:55.359
 it's

00:29:55.359 --> 00:29:55.460
 an

00:29:55.460 --> 00:29:55.799
 important

00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:56.160
 biblical

00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:56.599
 doctrine

00:29:56.599 --> 00:29:56.819
 the

00:29:56.819 --> 00:29:57.279
 clarity

00:29:57.279 --> 00:29:57.799
 of

00:29:57.799 --> 00:29:58.099
 scripture

00:29:58.099 --> 00:29:58.779
 you

00:29:58.779 --> 00:29:59.680
 can

00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:00.480
 understand

00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:01.099
 this

00:30:01.099 --> 00:30:02.299
 part

00:30:02.299 --> 00:30:02.380
 of

00:30:02.380 --> 00:30:02.460
 the

00:30:02.460 --> 00:30:02.700
 reason

00:30:02.700 --> 00:30:02.940
 that

00:30:02.940 --> 00:30:03.140
 I

00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:11.400
 out

00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:11.660
 loud

00:30:11.660 --> 00:30:11.859
 about

00:30:11.859 --> 00:30:12.140
 how

00:30:12.140 --> 00:30:12.319
 I

00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:12.940
 arrived

00:30:12.940 --> 00:30:13.180
 at

00:30:13.180 --> 00:30:13.339
 the

00:30:13.339 --> 00:30:13.680
 position

00:30:13.680 --> 00:30:13.940
 that

00:30:13.940 --> 00:30:14.079
 I

00:30:14.079 --> 00:30:14.620
 hold

00:30:14.620 --> 00:30:14.779
 is

00:30:14.779 --> 00:30:14.960
 because

00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:15.140
 I

00:30:15.140 --> 00:30:15.380
 want

00:30:15.380 --> 00:30:15.500
 you

00:30:15.500 --> 00:30:15.640
 to

00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:15.900
 see

00:30:15.900 --> 00:30:16.319
 that

00:30:16.319 --> 00:30:16.440
 it's

00:30:16.440 --> 00:30:16.720
 not

00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:16.960
 that

00:30:16.960 --> 00:30:17.299
 hard

00:30:17.299 --> 00:30:18.519
 I'm

00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:18.759
 not

00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:19.480
 brilliant

00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:20.980
 look

00:30:20.980 --> 00:30:21.079
 at

00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:21.220
 the

00:30:21.220 --> 00:30:21.880
 context

00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:23.180
 I go

00:30:23.180 --> 00:30:23.740
 isn't that

00:30:23.740 --> 00:30:24.140
 an interesting

00:30:24.140 --> 00:30:24.839
 statement

00:30:24.839 --> 00:30:25.599
 seems

00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:26.059
 confusing

00:30:26.059 --> 00:30:26.519
 at first

00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:26.759
 you hear

00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:27.000
 me say

00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:27.240
 things

00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:27.420
 like

00:30:27.420 --> 00:30:27.700
 that

00:30:27.700 --> 00:30:28.279
 because

00:30:28.279 --> 00:30:28.420
 I

00:30:28.420 --> 00:30:28.680
 know

00:30:28.680 --> 00:30:28.880
 that

00:30:28.880 --> 00:30:29.180
 happens

00:30:29.180 --> 00:30:29.339
 to

00:30:29.339 --> 00:30:29.420
 you

00:30:29.420 --> 00:30:29.519
 when

00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:29.620
 you

00:30:29.620 --> 00:30:29.799
 open

00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:29.900
 up

00:30:29.900 --> 00:30:30.019
 the

00:30:30.019 --> 00:30:30.259
 scriptures

00:30:30.259 --> 00:30:30.440
 you

00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:30.579
 go

00:30:30.579 --> 00:30:30.940
 what

00:30:30.940 --> 00:30:31.140
 in

00:30:31.140 --> 00:30:31.319
 the

00:30:31.319 --> 00:30:31.740
 world

00:30:31.740 --> 00:30:32.079
 I

00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:32.240
 do

00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:32.339
 it

00:30:32.339 --> 00:30:32.500
 all

00:30:32.500 --> 00:30:32.620
 the

00:30:32.620 --> 00:30:32.940
 time

00:30:32.940 --> 00:30:34.120
 often

00:30:34.120 --> 00:30:34.299
 the

00:30:34.299 --> 00:30:34.500
 things

00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:41.500
 many

00:30:41.500 --> 00:30:41.980
 times

00:30:41.980 --> 00:30:42.099
 but

00:30:42.099 --> 00:30:42.180
 I

00:30:42.180 --> 00:30:42.400
 never

00:30:42.400 --> 00:30:42.559
 had

00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:42.680
 to

00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:43.160
 preach

00:30:43.160 --> 00:30:43.440
 I

00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:43.539
 never

00:30:43.539 --> 00:30:43.640
 had

00:30:43.640 --> 00:30:43.740
 to

00:30:43.740 --> 00:30:44.039
 stand

00:30:44.039 --> 00:30:44.160
 up

00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:44.240
 with

00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:44.359
 any

00:30:44.359 --> 00:30:44.859
 authority

00:30:44.859 --> 00:30:45.359
 and

00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:45.500
 tell

00:30:45.500 --> 00:30:45.620
 you

00:30:45.620 --> 00:30:45.740
 what

00:30:45.740 --> 00:30:45.859
 it

00:30:45.859 --> 00:30:46.220
 means

00:30:46.220 --> 00:30:46.700
 and

00:30:46.700 --> 00:30:46.759
 I

00:30:46.759 --> 00:30:47.220
 just

 I get

00:31:39.220 --> 00:31:39.800
 to do

00:31:39.800 --> 00:31:39.920
 that

00:31:39.920 --> 00:31:40.040
 it's

00:31:40.040 --> 00:31:40.180
 not

00:31:40.180 --> 00:31:40.600
 enough

00:31:40.600 --> 00:31:41.360
 and

00:31:41.360 --> 00:31:41.640
 most

00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:41.759
 of

00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:41.840
 you

00:31:41.840 --> 00:31:41.980
 don't

00:31:41.980 --> 00:31:42.180
 make

00:31:42.180 --> 00:31:42.300
 it

00:31:42.300 --> 00:31:42.519
 that

00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:42.880
 often

00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:43.900
 to

00:31:43.900 --> 00:31:44.040
 our

00:31:44.340 --> 00:31:44.740
 together

00:31:44.740 --> 00:31:45.160
 so

00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:45.900
 don't

00:31:45.900 --> 00:31:46.000
 be

00:31:46.000 --> 00:31:46.160
 like

00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:46.300
 the

00:31:46.300 --> 00:31:46.680
 Pharisees

00:31:46.680 --> 00:31:46.900
 as

 a

00:31:47.060 --> 00:31:47.500
 Christian

00:31:47.500 --> 00:31:48.200
 know

00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:48.920
 the

00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:49.220
 scriptures

00:31:49.220 --> 00:31:50.100
 you

00:31:50.100 --> 00:31:50.280
 can

00:31:50.280 --> 00:31:50.480
 do

00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:50.700
 it

00:31:50.700 --> 00:31:51.120
 start

00:31:51.120 --> 00:31:51.420
 now

00:31:51.420 --> 00:31:51.640
 I'm

00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:51.800
 still

00:31:51.800 --> 00:31:52.100
 working

00:31:52.100 --> 00:31:52.300
 it

00:31:52.300 --> 00:31:52.500
 out

00:31:52.500 --> 00:31:52.780
 right

00:31:52.780 --> 00:31:52.960
 I'm

00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:53.120
 never

00:31:53.120 --> 00:31:53.300
 going

00:31:53.300 --> 00:31:53.380
 to

00:31:53.380 --> 00:31:53.680
 arrive

00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:53.800
 at

00:31:53.800 --> 00:31:53.860
 a

00:31:53.860 --> 00:31:54.100
 complete

00:31:54.100 --> 00:31:54.540
 understanding

00:31:54.540 --> 00:31:54.740
 of

00:31:54.740 --> 00:31:54.840
 them

00:31:54.840 --> 00:31:55.000
 but

00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:55.120
 you

00:31:55.120 --> 00:31:55.280
 can

00:31:55.280 --> 00:31:55.740
 begin

00:31:55.740 --> 00:31:56.320
 to

00:31:56.320 --> 00:31:56.480
 let

00:31:56.480 --> 00:31:56.720
 God

00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:04.580
 by

00:32:04.580 --> 00:32:04.759
 the

00:32:04.759 --> 00:32:05.060
 father

00:32:05.060 --> 00:32:05.280
 to

00:32:05.280 --> 00:32:05.640
 speak

00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:05.860
 to

00:32:05.860 --> 00:32:06.280
 people

00:32:06.280 --> 00:32:06.540
 in

00:32:06.540 --> 00:32:07.220
 terms

00:32:07.220 --> 00:32:08.180
 they

00:32:08.180 --> 00:32:08.360
 will

00:32:08.360 --> 00:32:08.900
 understand

00:32:08.900 --> 00:32:10.480
 it's

00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:10.660
 really

00:32:10.660 --> 00:32:11.019
 important

00:32:11.019 --> 00:32:11.300
 for us

00:32:11.300 --> 00:32:11.440
 to

00:32:11.440 --> 00:32:11.800
 remember

00:32:11.800 --> 00:32:12.400
 every

00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:12.820
 time

00:32:12.820 --> 00:32:13.000
 we

00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:13.480
 behold

00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:13.759
 the

00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:14.259
 brilliance

00:32:14.259 --> 00:32:14.420
 of

00:32:14.420 --> 00:32:14.620
 Jesus

00:32:14.620 --> 00:32:15.120
 Christ

00:32:15.120 --> 00:32:16.640
 that

00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:16.700
 it

00:32:16.700 --> 00:32:16.800
 was

00:32:16.800 --> 00:32:17.180
 ultimately

00:32:17.180 --> 00:32:17.400
 the

00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:17.660
 brilliance

00:32:17.660 --> 00:32:17.820
 of

00:32:17.820 --> 00:32:18.220
 God

00:32:18.220 --> 00:32:19.360
 Jesus

00:32:19.360 --> 00:32:19.600
 did

00:32:19.600 --> 00:32:19.820
 not

00:32:19.820 --> 00:32:20.700
 stop

00:32:20.700 --> 00:32:21.160
 being

00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:21.740
 God

00:32:21.740 --> 00:32:21.880
 when

00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:21.980
 he

00:32:21.980 --> 00:32:22.120
 came

00:32:22.120 --> 00:32:22.220
 to

00:32:22.220 --> 00:32:22.320
 earth

00:32:22.320 --> 00:32:22.420
 and

00:32:22.420 --> 00:32:22.600
 became

00:32:22.600 --> 00:32:22.740
 a

00:32:22.740 --> 00:32:22.880
 man

00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:23.000
 he

00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:23.160
 didn't

00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:23.400
 lay

00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:23.900
 aside

00:32:23.900 --> 00:32:24.120
 his

00:32:24.120 --> 00:32:24.460
 deity

00:32:24.460 --> 00:32:25.080
 he

00:32:25.080 --> 00:32:25.180
 was

00:32:25.180 --> 00:32:25.340
 still

00:32:25.340 --> 00:32:25.700
 fully

00:32:25.700 --> 00:32:26.100
 God

00:32:26.100 --> 00:32:26.800
 fully

00:32:26.800 --> 00:32:27.220
 man

00:32:27.220 --> 00:32:27.600
 but

00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:14.339
 him

00:34:14.339 --> 00:34:14.539
 that's

00:34:14.539 --> 00:34:14.699
 not

00:34:14.699 --> 00:34:14.839
 the

00:34:14.839 --> 00:34:15.099
 case

00:34:15.099 --> 00:34:15.239
 in

00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:15.500
 fact

00:34:15.500 --> 00:34:15.819
 it

00:34:15.819 --> 00:34:15.920
 was

00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:16.039
 the

00:34:16.039 --> 00:34:16.440
 Sadducees

00:34:16.440 --> 00:34:16.579
 that

00:34:16.579 --> 00:34:16.659
 were

00:34:16.659 --> 00:34:16.799
 part

00:34:16.799 --> 00:34:16.880
 of

00:34:16.880 --> 00:34:16.940
!

00:34:16.940 --> 00:34:16.940


00:34:16.940 --> 00:34:17.079
!

00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:17.420
!

00:34:17.420 --> 00:34:17.639
 We

00:34:17.639 --> 00:34:18.119
 have

00:34:29.860 --> 00:34:30.500
 such

00:34:30.500 --> 00:34:31.000
 a

00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:31.400
 precious

00:34:31.400 --> 00:34:32.320
 gift

00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:32.800
 in

00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:32.920
 the

00:34:32.920 --> 00:34:33.160
 scriptures

00:34:33.160 --> 00:34:33.980
 if

00:34:33.980 --> 00:34:34.079
 you're

00:34:34.079 --> 00:34:34.280
 not

00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:34.420
 a

00:34:34.420 --> 00:34:34.820
 believer

00:34:34.820 --> 00:34:35.700
 the

00:34:35.700 --> 00:34:36.220
 gospel

00:34:36.220 --> 00:34:36.440
 is

00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:36.559
 in

00:34:36.559 --> 00:34:36.720
 the

00:34:36.720 --> 00:34:37.039
 scriptures

00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:37.320
 the

00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:37.599
 power

00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:37.780
 of

00:34:37.780 --> 00:34:38.039
 God

00:34:38.039 --> 00:34:38.579
 unto

00:34:38.579 --> 00:34:39.059
 salvation

00:34:39.059 --> 00:34:39.620
 if

00:34:39.620 --> 00:34:39.760
 you

00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:40.240
 are

00:34:40.240 --> 00:34:40.599
 a

00:34:40.599 --> 00:34:40.980
 believer

00:34:40.980 --> 00:34:41.880
 oh

00:34:41.880 --> 00:34:42.099
 how

00:34:42.099 --> 00:34:42.260
 we

00:34:42.260 --> 00:34:42.380
 need

00:34:42.380 --> 00:34:42.480
 to

00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:42.620
 hear

00:34:42.620 --> 00:34:42.820
 that

00:34:42.820 --> 00:34:43.320
 story

00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:43.980
 over

00:34:43.980 --> 00:34:44.519
 and

00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:44.960
 over

00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:45.720
 and

00:34:45.720 --> 00:34:46.059
 over

00:34:46.059 --> 00:34:46.780
 again

00:34:46.780 --> 00:34:47.960
 many

00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:48.240
 of the

00:34:48.240 --> 00:34:48.620
 songs

00:34:48.620 --> 00:34:48.820
 we

00:34:48.820 --> 00:34:49.160
 sing

00:34:49.160 --> 00:34:49.320
 on

00:34:49.320 --> 00:34:49.559
 Sunday

00:34:49.559 --> 00:34:49.920
 morning

00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:50.120
 if

00:34:50.120 --> 00:34:50.220
 you're

00:34:50.220 --> 00:34:50.420
 not

00:34:50.420 --> 00:34:50.640
 very

00:34:50.640 --> 00:34:50.960
 familiar

00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:51.160
 with

00:34:51.160 --> 00:34:51.280
 the

00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:51.559
 scriptures

00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:51.800
 you

00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:52.019
 wouldn't

00:34:52.019 --> 00:34:52.260
 know

00:34:52.260 --> 00:34:52.539
 this

00:34:52.539 --> 00:34:52.680
 but

00:34:52.680 --> 00:34:52.900
 many

00:34:52.900 --> 00:34:53.099
 of

00:34:53.099 --> 00:34:53.340
 them

00:34:53.340 --> 00:34:53.940
 are

00:34:53.940 --> 00:34:55.059
 saturated

00:34:55.059 --> 00:34:55.400
 with

00:34:55.400 --> 00:34:55.720
 Old

00:34:55.720 --> 00:34:56.120
 Testament

00:34:56.119 --> 00:34:56.299
 and

00:34:56.299 --> 00:34:56.440
 New

00:34:56.440 --> 00:34:56.739
 Testament

00:34:56.739 --> 00:34:57.460
 quotations

00:34:57.460 --> 00:34:57.920
 just

00:34:57.920 --> 00:34:58.239
 carried

00:34:58.239 --> 00:34:58.559
 through

00:34:58.559 --> 00:34:58.980
 I

00:34:58.980 --> 00:34:59.159
 so

00:34:59.159 --> 00:34:59.440
 often

00:34:59.440 --> 00:34:59.639
 want

00:34:59.639 --> 00:34:59.739
 to

00:34:59.739 --> 00:35:00.460
 preach

00:35:00.460 --> 00:35:00.759
 little

00:35:00.759 --> 00:35:01.079
 sermons

00:35:01.079 --> 00:35:01.259
 in

00:35:01.259 --> 00:35:01.519
 between

00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:01.980
 songs

00:35:01.980 --> 00:35:02.179
 just

00:35:02.179 --> 00:35:02.319
 to

00:35:02.319 --> 00:35:02.519
 tie

00:35:02.519 --> 00:35:02.639
 it

00:35:02.639 --> 00:35:02.759
 all

00:35:02.759 --> 00:35:03.139
 together

00:35:03.139 --> 00:35:03.739
 for

00:35:03.739 --> 00:35:03.900
 you

00:35:03.900 --> 00:35:04.059
 and

00:35:04.059 --> 00:35:04.179
 they

00:35:04.179 --> 00:35:04.460
 talk

00:35:04.460 --> 00:35:04.739
 about

00:35:04.739 --> 00:35:05.000
 our

00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:06.079
 pre-Christ

00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:06.719
 experience

00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:07.119
 the

00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:07.699
 actual

00:35:07.699 --> 00:35:08.259
 conversion

00:35:08.259 --> 00:35:08.779
 and beyond

00:35:08.779 --> 00:35:09.059
 that

00:35:09.059 --> 00:35:09.319
 it's

00:35:09.319 --> 00:35:09.519
 why

00:35:09.519 --> 00:35:10.059
 most

00:35:10.059 --> 00:35:10.599
 hymns

00:35:10.599 --> 00:35:11.159
 we

00:35:11.159 --> 00:35:11.319
 should

00:35:11.319 --> 00:35:11.659
 sing

00:35:11.659 --> 00:35:11.819
 the

00:35:11.819 --> 00:35:12.079
 verses

00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:12.380
 because

00:35:12.380 --> 00:35:12.539
 it's

00:35:12.539 --> 00:35:12.619
 a

00:35:12.619 --> 00:35:13.079
 complete

00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:13.559
 gospel

00:35:13.559 --> 00:35:14.199
 presentation

00:35:14.199 --> 00:35:14.880
 in

00:35:14.880 --> 00:35:15.059
 those

00:35:15.059 --> 00:35:15.299
 things

00:35:15.299 --> 00:35:15.699
 oftentimes

00:35:15.699 --> 00:35:16.259
 first

00:35:16.259 --> 00:35:16.519
 third

00:35:16.519 --> 00:35:16.679
 and

00:35:16.679 --> 00:35:16.980
 fifth

00:35:16.980 --> 00:35:17.179
 just

00:35:17.179 --> 00:35:17.400
 doesn't

00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:17.719
 quite

00:35:17.719 --> 00:35:18.440
 cover

00:35:18.440 --> 00:35:18.659
 it

00:35:18.659 --> 00:35:19.219
 for

00:35:19.219 --> 00:35:19.480
 us

00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:19.679
 and

00:35:19.679 --> 00:35:20.219
 and

00:35:20.219 --> 00:35:21.039
 sometimes

00:35:21.039 --> 00:35:21.679
 I go

00:35:21.679 --> 00:35:21.939
 man

00:35:21.939 --> 00:35:22.119
 this

00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:22.319
 song

00:35:22.319 --> 00:35:22.559
 feels

00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:22.699
 like

00:35:22.699 --> 00:35:22.839
 it's

00:35:22.839 --> 00:35:23.019
 getting

00:35:23.019 --> 00:35:23.459
 really

00:35:23.459 --> 00:35:24.079
 long

00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:24.439
 but

00:35:24.439 --> 00:35:24.519
 if

00:35:24.519 --> 00:35:24.639
 you're

00:35:24.639 --> 00:35:24.799
 really

00:35:24.799 --> 00:35:25.019
 paying

00:35:25.019 --> 00:35:25.359
 attention

00:35:25.359 --> 00:35:25.559
 to

00:35:25.559 --> 00:35:25.719
 the

00:35:25.719 --> 00:35:26.199
 words

00:35:26.199 --> 00:35:26.359
 are

00:35:26.359 --> 00:35:26.579
 so

00:35:26.579 --> 00:35:27.259
 necessary

00:35:27.259 --> 00:35:27.639
 and

00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:28.219
 Wes

00:35:28.219 --> 00:35:28.339
 is

00:35:28.339 --> 00:35:28.500
 so

00:35:28.500 --> 00:35:28.899
 careful

00:35:28.899 --> 00:35:29.099
 to

00:35:29.099 --> 00:35:29.299
 do

00:35:29.299 --> 00:35:29.519
 that

00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:29.739
 for

00:35:29.739 --> 00:35:29.980
 us

00:35:29.980 --> 00:35:30.139
 that

00:35:30.139 --> 00:35:30.299
 we

00:35:30.299 --> 00:35:30.819
 see

00:35:30.819 --> 00:35:31.019
 this

00:35:31.019 --> 00:35:31.480
 entire

00:35:31.480 --> 00:35:32.599
 expression

00:35:32.599 --> 00:35:33.519
 of that

00:35:33.519 --> 00:35:33.699
 in

00:35:33.699 --> 00:35:33.899
 our

00:35:33.899 --> 00:35:34.459
 songs

00:35:34.459 --> 00:35:34.919
 together

00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:36.279
 gospel

00:35:36.279 --> 00:35:36.599
 we need

00:35:36.599 --> 00:35:36.699
 it

00:35:36.699 --> 00:35:36.879
 every

00:35:36.879 --> 00:35:37.179
 day

00:35:37.179 --> 00:35:37.319
 we

00:35:37.319 --> 00:35:37.419
 need

 be

00:35:37.579 --> 00:35:38.119
 reminded

00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:38.519

 God's

 pray
