00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.700
 How many of you watched the Summer Olympics in 1972 in Munich, Germany?

00:00:11.700 --> 00:00:14.080
! Does anybody remember that?

00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:17.500
 You were there. Stop it.

00:00:17.980 --> 00:00:21.339
! Linda Sears, our pianist, was there.

00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:22.179
! Unbelievable.

00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:25.359
 Did you attend the gold medal basketball game?

00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:26.160
 Oh!

00:00:27.699 --> 00:00:29.359
 She's kicking herself ever since then.

00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:36.000
 Well, listen, that was one of the all-time great moments in the history of sports competition.

00:00:36.519 --> 00:00:38.679
 It was more than just a game.

00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:45.960
 The Americans walked into the gold medal basketball game in Munich, Germany, 1972, Summer Olympics,

00:00:46.579 --> 00:00:50.320
 with what felt like one hand tied behind their back.

00:00:50.320 --> 00:01:00.799
 There was all kinds of socioeconomic, political powers and all kinds of extracurricular things going on behind the scenes.

00:01:00.899 --> 00:01:02.840
 You're looking at the Cold War type situation.

00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:07.319
 And that bled over into competition and sports.

00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:13.479
 And so Olympic rules barred professional players from competing at that time.

00:01:13.539 --> 00:01:15.979
 Of course, nowadays, they allow the professionals to compete.

00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:17.579
 But back then, they couldn't.

00:01:17.679 --> 00:01:21.839
 So Team USA was made up of college stars, amateurs.

00:01:22.579 --> 00:01:30.079
 While the Soviets and many of the other Eastern Bloc countries, well, they found ways around the rules.

00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:39.560
 They stacked their team, their amateur squads, so to speak, with veteran state-supported players who function like full-time professional basketball players.

00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:43.799
 So that's what the United States had been dealing with throughout the competition.

00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:49.640
 And now they were in the gold medal game against the Soviet Union.

00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:57.019
 The gold medal game itself only deepened the sense that the deck was stacked.

00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.239
 As they began to play, they sensed this.

00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:04.939
 It was bruising, physical, controversial.

00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:11.639
 The Americans realized that hard contact and rough play were being tolerated in ways that were unusual.

00:02:12.920 --> 00:02:16.599
 Referees were not going to call these things in their favor at all.

00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:20.659
 American star Doug Collins went on to become a famous NBA coach.

00:02:21.060 --> 00:02:24.139
 Was famously hammered to the floor near the end of the game.

00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:25.120
 He still got up.

00:02:25.539 --> 00:02:27.259
 They actually called a foul for once.

00:02:27.579 --> 00:02:35.400
 He still got up and hit the go-ahead free throws, put the United States up in position to win the game with three seconds left.

00:02:35.519 --> 00:02:38.400
 The United States was leading 50-49.

00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:44.419
 Now, if you know anything about basketball, you know that's a very low-scoring game, 50-49.

00:02:44.419 --> 00:02:47.000
 And that tells you what kind of game it was.

00:02:47.099 --> 00:02:47.759
 It was brutal.

00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:50.599
 Survival of the fittest, I guess.

00:02:52.299 --> 00:02:53.679
 Three seconds left.

00:02:54.279 --> 00:02:58.719
 The United States stopped the Soviets from scoring and they won the gold medal.

00:03:00.060 --> 00:03:00.359
 Yay!

00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:02.939
 Except they didn't.

00:03:04.079 --> 00:03:07.119
 The officials cut their celebration short.

00:03:07.259 --> 00:03:09.060
 You can see a little bit on the picture on the right.

00:03:09.060 --> 00:03:16.539
 And they found a reason to give the Soviets another chance.

00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:23.300
 The Americans stopped them again and won the gold medal again.

00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:25.680
 Happy ending to the story.

00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:28.039
 Except they didn't.

00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:34.159
 Because the officials found another reason to put the three seconds back on the clock.

00:03:34.799 --> 00:03:37.979
 And this time, the Soviets threw the ball the length of the court.

00:03:38.519 --> 00:03:42.979
 One of the Soviet players seemingly might have knocked one of the American players down.

00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:44.859
 Scored a last-second layup.

00:03:45.739 --> 00:03:48.899
 And then they said, yep, Soviets won the gold medal this time.

00:03:48.900 --> 00:03:54.039
 Giving the Soviets three chances.

00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:55.819
 Three seconds.

00:03:57.060 --> 00:03:58.460
 Three chances to win.

00:03:59.460 --> 00:04:02.480
 The United States protested with the Olympic Committee.

00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:03.540
 They lost their appeal.

00:04:04.300 --> 00:04:10.759
 And to this day, that U.S. Olympic basketball team has never accepted their silver medals.

00:04:11.620 --> 00:04:13.219
 They stayed off the medal stand.

00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:15.099
 They didn't participate in the ceremony.

00:04:15.099 --> 00:04:20.199
 Because they walked away from the game that day feeling and realizing one thing.

00:04:20.860 --> 00:04:22.319
 The game was rigged.

00:04:23.159 --> 00:04:24.459
 They never stood a chance.

00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:26.800
 They fought valiantly.

00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:28.240
 Won it twice.

00:04:29.060 --> 00:04:30.659
 But it still went the other way.

00:04:31.180 --> 00:04:36.100
 Sometimes your life feels like that basketball game.

00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:39.180
 Sometimes it feels like the deck is stacked against you.

00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:40.920
 Life is rigged.

00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:42.699
 The good guys don't win.

00:04:43.219 --> 00:04:44.480
 You can do everything right.

00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:45.879
 You should come out on top.

00:04:45.960 --> 00:04:46.700
 And you don't.

00:04:47.340 --> 00:04:49.040
 The hardest worker gets laid off.

00:04:49.460 --> 00:04:51.420
 Meanwhile, the dishonest person gets promoted.

00:04:52.280 --> 00:04:54.740
 The kindest person gets sick.

00:04:56.180 --> 00:04:58.580
 The cruelest person seems to prosper.

00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:02.300
 Every time it happens, we ask the same question.

00:05:02.460 --> 00:05:04.560
 Why does life work this way?

00:05:05.620 --> 00:05:07.759
 Would you turn with me to Ecclesiastes chapter 9?

00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:12.500
 We have been in our study.

00:05:13.819 --> 00:05:15.399
 Ecclesiastes chapter 9.

00:05:15.819 --> 00:05:19.240
 By the way, as you're turning, here's a little peek at that basketball game I was talking to you about.

00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:21.599
 See the last second?

00:05:21.860 --> 00:05:23.519
 The U.S. guy laying on the floor.

00:05:23.779 --> 00:05:25.079
 The Russian guy making the layup.

00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:26.719
 It was crazy.

00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:28.060
 All right.

00:05:28.180 --> 00:05:28.580
 Moving on.

00:05:28.700 --> 00:05:29.880
 Ecclesiastes chapter 9.

00:05:31.640 --> 00:05:33.460
 They haven't moved on, but we can.

00:05:33.540 --> 00:05:33.820
 All right?

00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:36.240
 We can get in the Word of God.

00:05:36.320 --> 00:05:39.860
 We have been in our study of Ecclesiastes for several weeks.

00:05:40.060 --> 00:05:41.520
 We've got a couple of weeks left.

00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:44.099
 And this has been called catching smoke.

00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:45.659
 You saw the little video beforehand.

00:05:46.180 --> 00:05:50.699
 Ecclesiastes gives this vibe that life is meaningless sometimes.

00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:54.199
 You can give it your best shot and you still lose.

00:05:54.579 --> 00:05:56.799
 It's like chasing the wind.

00:05:56.899 --> 00:05:57.839
 You're never going to catch it.

00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:00.299
 It's like trying to catch smoke in your hand.

00:06:00.740 --> 00:06:01.959
 You can't hold it.

00:06:02.379 --> 00:06:04.719
 So Ecclesiastes chapter 9.

00:06:05.299 --> 00:06:08.379
 And let's look at verse 1 together.

00:06:08.379 --> 00:06:12.240
 Ecclesiastes chapter 9 and verse 1.

00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:13.620
 I'm reading from the New Living Translation.

00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:16.219
 This too I carefully explored.

00:06:16.300 --> 00:06:17.040
 Who is I there?

00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:17.620
 Who's talking?

00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:18.560
 It's the teacher.

00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:20.579
 We've identified him as King Solomon.

00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:24.120
 And so the teacher, the author of Ecclesiastes,

00:06:24.579 --> 00:06:28.439
 compares living this life under the sun to something as pointless

00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.399
 as chasing the wind or trying to catch smoke.

00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:35.639
 And he's brutally honest about the truth that we just talked about

00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:40.120
 and remembered through this crazy moment in the history of sports,

00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:41.819
 even bigger than sports,

00:06:42.019 --> 00:06:44.979
 that sometimes the wicked prosper, the good guys lose,

00:06:45.060 --> 00:06:46.000
 the righteous suffer.

00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:50.599
 And in the end, death comes for everyone.

00:06:51.740 --> 00:06:53.699
 Ecclesiastes digs into this.

00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:55.139
 Why?

00:06:55.919 --> 00:06:58.620
 Because it's not just bad luck.

00:06:58.620 --> 00:07:01.759
 The world is under a curse.

00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:04.340
 It's cursed.

00:07:05.459 --> 00:07:07.000
 Say, what are you talking about?

00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:09.579
 Are we like watching a pirate movie or something?

00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:11.019
 No, this is a real curse.

00:07:13.540 --> 00:07:15.579
 Ecclesiastes chapter 1.

00:07:15.780 --> 00:07:17.680
 He said, I carefully explored this.

00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:20.620
 Even though the actions of godly...

00:07:21.379 --> 00:07:22.240
 Did I say chapter 1?

00:07:22.340 --> 00:07:23.340
 Chapter 9, verse 1.

00:07:23.339 --> 00:07:27.139
 The actions of godly and wise people are in God's hands.

00:07:27.539 --> 00:07:30.359
 No one knows whether God will show them favor.

00:07:31.919 --> 00:07:34.819
 The same destiny ultimately awaits everyone,

00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:36.779
 whether you're righteous or you're wicked,

00:07:37.219 --> 00:07:38.539
 you're good or you're bad,

00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:40.919
 ceremonially clean or unclean,

00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:42.639
 religious or irreligious.

00:07:42.739 --> 00:07:46.079
 He says we do all these things to try to be the best,

00:07:46.299 --> 00:07:48.759
 and at the end, it doesn't matter.

00:07:48.859 --> 00:07:51.019
 The same fate awaits everyone.

00:07:51.019 --> 00:07:53.740
 Good people receive the same treatment as sinners.

00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:56.379
 People who make promises to God

00:07:56.379 --> 00:07:58.479
 are treated like people who don't.

00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:02.339
 It seems so wrong that everyone under the sun

00:08:02.339 --> 00:08:03.799
 suffers the same fate,

00:08:04.099 --> 00:08:05.879
 already twisted by evil.

00:08:06.019 --> 00:08:07.979
 People choose their own mad course,

00:08:08.359 --> 00:08:10.120
 for they have no hope.

00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:12.399
 There's nothing ahead but death anyway.

00:08:13.919 --> 00:08:15.620
 Man, this is crazy, isn't it?

00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:17.519
 What an outlook on life.

00:08:17.779 --> 00:08:18.519
 Ah, what does it matter?

00:08:18.599 --> 00:08:19.919
 There's nothing ahead but death anyway.

00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:21.640
 Where's he going with this?

00:08:21.780 --> 00:08:22.460
 Let's keep reading.

00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:23.480
 Verse four,

00:08:23.580 --> 00:08:25.160
 there's hope only for the living.

00:08:25.280 --> 00:08:25.920
 As they say,

00:08:25.980 --> 00:08:28.000
 it's better to be a live dog than a dead lion.

00:08:28.540 --> 00:08:29.259
 It's probably true.

00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:32.519
 In life, a dog wouldn't stand a chance against a lion,

00:08:32.820 --> 00:08:34.940
 but if the dog's alive and the lion's not,

00:08:35.220 --> 00:08:36.560
 better off to be the dog, right?

00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:38.100
 Verse five,

00:08:38.180 --> 00:08:39.840
 the living at least know they will die,

00:08:39.940 --> 00:08:41.259
 but the dead know nothing.

00:08:41.560 --> 00:08:42.860
 They have no further reward,

00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:44.580
 nor are they remembered.

00:08:45.139 --> 00:08:46.600
 Whatever they did in their lifetime,

00:08:46.779 --> 00:08:48.019
 loving, hating, envying,

00:08:48.019 --> 00:08:49.620
 it's all long gone.

00:08:50.439 --> 00:08:53.360
 They no longer play a part in anything here on earth.

00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:54.419
 So go ahead.

00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:56.220
 Eat your food with joy.

00:08:56.379 --> 00:08:57.720
 Drink your wine with a happy heart,

00:08:57.980 --> 00:08:59.259
 for God approves of this.

00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:01.240
 Wear fine clothes with a splash of cologne.

00:09:02.259 --> 00:09:04.500
 Whatever the ancient version of cologne was.

00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:06.659
 Live happily with the woman you love

00:09:06.659 --> 00:09:08.379
 through all the meaningless days of life

00:09:08.379 --> 00:09:10.139
 that God has given you under the sun.

00:09:10.659 --> 00:09:11.779
 Now in Solomon's case,

00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:14.860
 live happy with the thousands of women

00:09:14.860 --> 00:09:15.720
 he seemed to love.

00:09:17.539 --> 00:09:18.259
 Remember that?

00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:20.720
 How many wives and how many concubines?

00:09:21.460 --> 00:09:23.180
 900 wives, 700 concubines.

00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:27.659
 The wife God gives you is your reward

00:09:27.659 --> 00:09:28.899
 for all your earthly toil.

00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:30.680
 Whatever you do, do it well.

00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:31.879
 When you go to the grave,

00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:33.039
 there will be no more work,

00:09:33.139 --> 00:09:33.860
 no more planning,

00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:35.279
 no knowledge, no wisdom.

00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:36.000
 He says,

00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:37.700
 I've observed everything under the sun.

00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:38.860
 In verse 11,

00:09:38.980 --> 00:09:41.120
 the fastest runner doesn't always win the race.

00:09:41.420 --> 00:09:42.360
 The strongest warrior

00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:43.560
 doesn't always win the battle.

00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:45.319
 The wise sometimes go hungry.

00:09:45.479 --> 00:09:48.339
 The skillful are not necessarily wealthy.

00:09:48.659 --> 00:09:49.259
 How many of you say,

00:09:49.379 --> 00:09:50.899
 yeah, I'm skillful, but I ain't wealthy.

00:09:51.419 --> 00:09:53.539
 You can connect with that verse.

00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:55.019
 Those who are educated

00:09:55.019 --> 00:09:56.959
 don't always lead successful lives.

00:09:57.059 --> 00:09:57.979
 I've seen news reports

00:09:57.979 --> 00:10:01.059
 about people who have gotten their PhDs

00:10:01.059 --> 00:10:03.339
 and there just aren't enough teaching gigs

00:10:03.339 --> 00:10:04.500
 out there for them.

00:10:05.059 --> 00:10:08.459
 They're having to take menial labor jobs

00:10:08.459 --> 00:10:10.399
 or whatever they can get their hands on

00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:11.879
 because there aren't enough positions

00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:14.139
 for them to actually go teach in their field

00:10:14.139 --> 00:10:16.019
 that they're well qualified to teach in.

00:10:17.299 --> 00:10:19.039
 It's all decided by chance,

00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:20.899
 by being in the right place at the right time.

00:10:20.980 --> 00:10:22.500
 Isn't that an interesting perspective here?

00:10:22.860 --> 00:10:23.500
 In the Bible?

00:10:24.299 --> 00:10:25.279
 What's he talking about?

00:10:27.179 --> 00:10:27.720
 Verse 12,

00:10:27.860 --> 00:10:28.919
 people can never predict

00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:30.200
 when hard times might come.

00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:32.539
 Like fish in a net

00:10:32.539 --> 00:10:33.639
 or birds in a trap,

00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:34.539
 people are caught

00:10:34.539 --> 00:10:36.580
 by sudden tragedy.

00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:38.460
 Here's another bit of wisdom.

00:10:38.460 --> 00:10:39.680
 It's impressed me

00:10:39.680 --> 00:10:41.420
 as I've watched the way our world works.

00:10:42.400 --> 00:10:43.920
 He gives a little parable here,

00:10:44.060 --> 00:10:44.680
 a little story.

00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:45.460
 It might have been something

00:10:45.460 --> 00:10:46.940
 he actually encountered in his life.

00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:47.400
 We're not sure.

00:10:47.460 --> 00:10:48.519
 He doesn't exactly tell us.

00:10:49.060 --> 00:10:49.300
 He says,

00:10:49.420 --> 00:10:50.240
 there was a small town

00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:51.220
 with only a few people,

00:10:51.860 --> 00:10:52.560
 Henrietta, Texas.

00:10:53.379 --> 00:10:53.940
 Just kidding.

00:10:54.620 --> 00:10:55.860
 And a great king came

00:10:55.860 --> 00:10:56.460
 with his army

00:10:56.460 --> 00:10:57.300
 and besieged it.

00:10:57.379 --> 00:10:57.740
 Oh no.

00:10:58.200 --> 00:10:59.540
 A poor wise man

00:10:59.540 --> 00:11:00.940
 knew how to save the town

00:11:00.940 --> 00:11:02.360
 and so it was rescued.

00:11:02.700 --> 00:11:03.720
 I want to see the movie.

00:11:04.379 --> 00:11:05.200
 I want to read the book.

00:11:05.280 --> 00:11:06.259
 What happened here, Solomon?

00:11:06.340 --> 00:11:07.400
 You're kind of teasing us here.

00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:09.019
 But the point wasn't

00:11:09.019 --> 00:11:10.579
 how the poor wise man

00:11:10.579 --> 00:11:11.899
 saved the town.

00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:12.840
 He says,

00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:13.399
 afterward,

00:11:13.699 --> 00:11:14.699
 no one thought

00:11:14.699 --> 00:11:15.879
 to thank him.

00:11:16.740 --> 00:11:17.919
 You ever been that guy?

00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:20.259
 Came through for somebody

00:11:20.259 --> 00:11:20.980
 in the clutch

00:11:20.980 --> 00:11:22.360
 and they just didn't seem

00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:23.019
 all that grateful?

00:11:24.620 --> 00:11:26.139
 So even though our wisdom

00:11:26.139 --> 00:11:27.759
 is better than strength,

00:11:28.779 --> 00:11:29.659
 those who are wise

00:11:29.659 --> 00:11:30.840
 will be despised

00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:32.879
 if they are poor.

00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:34.740
 What they say

00:11:34.740 --> 00:11:36.439
 will not be appreciated for long.

00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:38.240
 So it's better

00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:39.620
 to hear the quiet words

00:11:39.620 --> 00:11:40.800
 of a wise person

00:11:40.800 --> 00:11:42.100
 than the shouts

00:11:42.100 --> 00:11:43.920
 of a foolish king.

00:11:44.920 --> 00:11:45.860
 A lot of times

00:11:45.860 --> 00:11:47.260
 foolish kings will shout.

00:11:47.940 --> 00:11:48.920
 They won't be quiet.

00:11:50.280 --> 00:11:51.180
 Verse 18,

00:11:51.300 --> 00:11:52.380
 he elaborates on that.

00:11:52.460 --> 00:11:53.380
 He compounds on it.

00:11:53.500 --> 00:11:54.680
 Better to have wisdom

00:11:54.680 --> 00:11:56.380
 than weapons of war.

00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:58.680
 But one sinner

00:11:58.680 --> 00:12:00.140
 can destroy much

00:12:00.140 --> 00:12:01.220
 that is good.

00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:03.420
 Okay, that was a lot.

00:12:03.419 --> 00:12:05.500
 We just read 18 verses.

00:12:07.019 --> 00:12:08.039
 And it was a lot

00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:08.799
 of doom and gloom.

00:12:08.899 --> 00:12:09.519
 But it was a lot

00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:10.719
 of reality check too.

00:12:11.139 --> 00:12:11.759
 It was a lot

00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:12.899
 of the facts of life.

00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:14.519
 Some of you maybe

00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:15.599
 who haven't dug

00:12:15.599 --> 00:12:16.559
 into Ecclesiastes

00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:17.319
 very much

00:12:17.319 --> 00:12:18.599
 are surprised

00:12:18.599 --> 00:12:19.599
 to read this kind

00:12:19.599 --> 00:12:20.059
 of thing

00:12:20.059 --> 00:12:21.719
 in the book

00:12:21.719 --> 00:12:22.319
 we call

00:12:22.319 --> 00:12:23.079
 the Holy Bible,

00:12:23.219 --> 00:12:23.819
 God's Word.

00:12:25.419 --> 00:12:26.139
 So where is he going

00:12:26.139 --> 00:12:26.719
 with all this?

00:12:27.019 --> 00:12:27.519
 Let's go back

00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:28.059
 to verse 2.

00:12:28.059 --> 00:12:30.119
 The same destiny

00:12:30.119 --> 00:12:32.259
 ultimately awaits everyone.

00:12:32.579 --> 00:12:33.299
 Death comes

00:12:33.299 --> 00:12:33.979
 for the righteous.

00:12:34.599 --> 00:12:35.219
 Death comes

00:12:35.219 --> 00:12:35.839
 for the wicked.

00:12:36.379 --> 00:12:36.899
 Death comes

00:12:36.899 --> 00:12:37.579
 for the wise.

00:12:37.699 --> 00:12:38.000
 It comes

00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:38.799
 for the foolish.

00:12:39.079 --> 00:12:39.559
 The teacher

00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:40.819
 looks at life

00:12:40.819 --> 00:12:41.759
 under the sun

00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:43.039
 and tells the truth

00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:43.719
 that life

00:12:43.719 --> 00:12:44.699
 is unpredictable.

00:12:45.839 --> 00:12:46.799
 It's unfair.

00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:48.859
 Something has gone

00:12:48.859 --> 00:12:49.839
 terribly wrong

00:12:49.839 --> 00:12:50.719
 with the world.

00:12:50.859 --> 00:12:51.539
 What Solomon

00:12:51.539 --> 00:12:52.539
 didn't have

00:12:52.539 --> 00:12:53.659
 when he wrote

00:12:53.659 --> 00:12:54.459
 these words

00:12:54.459 --> 00:12:56.039
 was the whole story.

00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:58.120
 he didn't have

00:12:58.120 --> 00:12:59.439
 the full perspective.

00:12:59.980 --> 00:13:00.719
 He had wisdom

00:13:00.719 --> 00:13:01.879
 for his life

00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:02.959
 given to him

00:13:02.959 --> 00:13:03.659
 from God

00:13:03.659 --> 00:13:05.120
 but he didn't have

00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:05.679
 the coming

00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:06.919
 of Jesus yet.

00:13:07.719 --> 00:13:08.639
 He didn't have

00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:09.759
 the full understanding

00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:11.099
 of the fall of man

00:13:11.099 --> 00:13:12.419
 and the curse

00:13:12.419 --> 00:13:13.799
 that this world

00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:14.719
 is under.

00:13:14.860 --> 00:13:15.500
 This leads us

00:13:15.500 --> 00:13:16.259
 to our first

00:13:16.259 --> 00:13:17.339
 main truth.

00:13:17.819 --> 00:13:18.079
 We were in

00:13:18.079 --> 00:13:19.159
 Ecclesiastes chapter 1

00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:19.480
 in verse

00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:22.120
 chapter 9.

00:13:22.219 --> 00:13:22.679
 I keep saying

00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:23.240
 chapter 1.

00:13:23.439 --> 00:13:23.939
 Y'all forgive me

00:13:23.939 --> 00:13:24.219
 for that.

00:13:24.319 --> 00:13:25.039
 Chapter 9

00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:25.879
 verse 1

00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:26.559
 through 18.

00:13:28.139 --> 00:13:29.360
 First main truth

00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:29.899
 is this.

00:13:30.500 --> 00:13:31.159
 Two truths

00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:31.580
 that I want us

00:13:31.580 --> 00:13:31.899
 to draw

00:13:31.899 --> 00:13:32.779
 from these 18 verses.

00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:34.120
 First,

00:13:34.340 --> 00:13:35.360
 life under the sun

00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:36.279
 is under

00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:37.019
 the curse

00:13:37.019 --> 00:13:37.639
 of sin.

00:13:38.179 --> 00:13:39.480
 This explains

00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:40.960
 everything

00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:42.679
 he just said.

00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:44.720
 Yes,

00:13:44.980 --> 00:13:46.139
 all those things

00:13:46.139 --> 00:13:46.600
 are true.

00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:47.860
 The good guy

00:13:47.860 --> 00:13:48.500
 doesn't always

00:13:48.500 --> 00:13:49.439
 come out on top.

00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:51.960
 The guy

00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:52.700
 who does right

00:13:52.700 --> 00:13:53.559
 doesn't always

00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:54.259
 finish first.

00:13:54.259 --> 00:13:57.000
 sometimes evil

00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:58.080
 seems to win.

00:13:58.740 --> 00:13:58.980
 Why?

00:13:59.319 --> 00:14:00.220
 Because this world

00:14:00.220 --> 00:14:00.899
 is broken.

00:14:01.620 --> 00:14:02.379
 This world

00:14:02.379 --> 00:14:03.200
 is warped.

00:14:03.659 --> 00:14:04.120
 This world

00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:05.019
 is under

00:14:05.019 --> 00:14:05.899
 a curse.

00:14:07.139 --> 00:14:07.939
 So that's

00:14:07.939 --> 00:14:08.659
 the bad news.

00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:09.799
 Look down

00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:10.960
 at verse 11

00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:11.819
 of chapter 9.

00:14:11.819 --> 00:14:12.600
 The race

00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:13.580
 is not to the swift.

00:14:13.740 --> 00:14:14.240
 The battle

00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:15.299
 is not to the strong.

00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:16.500
 Time and chance

00:14:16.500 --> 00:14:17.360
 happen to them all.

00:14:17.580 --> 00:14:18.399
 The fastest runner

00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:19.279
 doesn't always win,

00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:19.500
 right?

00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:20.379
 The smartest person

00:14:20.379 --> 00:14:21.279
 doesn't always succeed.

00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:22.659
 The strongest army

00:14:22.659 --> 00:14:23.699
 doesn't always

00:14:23.699 --> 00:14:24.559
 find the victory

00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:25.059
 in battle.

00:14:25.419 --> 00:14:26.259
 Then the teacher

00:14:26.259 --> 00:14:27.480
 gives an image

00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:28.419
 that explains

00:14:28.419 --> 00:14:29.079
 the frustration

00:14:29.079 --> 00:14:29.620
 of life

00:14:29.620 --> 00:14:30.339
 in the next verse.

00:14:30.419 --> 00:14:30.860
 Verse 12.

00:14:31.259 --> 00:14:32.399
 People are trapped

00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:33.659
 in an evil time

00:14:33.659 --> 00:14:34.439
 as fish

00:14:34.439 --> 00:14:35.019
 are caught

00:14:35.019 --> 00:14:35.600
 in a net.

00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:36.379
 That's the picture.

00:14:37.199 --> 00:14:38.079
 That's the illustration.

00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:39.399
 Human beings

00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:40.879
 moving through life

00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:41.819
 made in the image

00:14:41.819 --> 00:14:42.259
 of God

00:14:42.259 --> 00:14:43.019
 but moving

00:14:43.019 --> 00:14:43.579
 through this

00:14:43.579 --> 00:14:44.500
 cursed world

00:14:44.500 --> 00:14:45.799
 and suddenly

00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:46.319
 the net

00:14:46.319 --> 00:14:47.179
 drops around them.

00:14:48.740 --> 00:14:49.699
 They experience

00:14:49.700 --> 00:14:50.640
 loss,

00:14:51.540 --> 00:14:52.020
 tragedy,

00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:54.259
 serious illness,

00:14:54.800 --> 00:14:55.740
 even death.

00:14:57.020 --> 00:14:57.780
 So life

00:14:57.780 --> 00:14:58.900
 under the sun

00:14:58.900 --> 00:15:00.820
 is not functioning

00:15:00.820 --> 00:15:01.680
 the way

00:15:01.680 --> 00:15:02.940
 it was meant to.

00:15:03.980 --> 00:15:05.120
 Solomon recognized

00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:05.780
 this.

00:15:07.160 --> 00:15:07.940
 He knew

00:15:07.940 --> 00:15:08.620
 it was true.

00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:09.800
 He'd experienced it.

00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:10.620
 He'd seen it

00:15:10.620 --> 00:15:12.060
 and in all his wisdom

00:15:12.060 --> 00:15:13.420
 he'd seen

00:15:13.420 --> 00:15:14.300
 the injustice

00:15:14.300 --> 00:15:14.920
 of it

00:15:14.920 --> 00:15:16.180
 but he didn't

00:15:16.180 --> 00:15:16.780
 know why.

00:15:17.940 --> 00:15:18.460
 The apostle

00:15:18.460 --> 00:15:19.040
 Paul

00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:21.419
 in Romans

00:15:21.419 --> 00:15:21.899
 the letter

00:15:21.899 --> 00:15:22.439
 to the church

00:15:22.439 --> 00:15:22.860
 in Rome

00:15:22.860 --> 00:15:23.379
 chapter 8

00:15:23.379 --> 00:15:23.980
 verse 20

00:15:23.980 --> 00:15:25.199
 sheds light

00:15:25.199 --> 00:15:25.959
 on the why.

00:15:26.599 --> 00:15:26.899
 He says

00:15:26.899 --> 00:15:27.899
 all creation

00:15:27.899 --> 00:15:29.259
 was subjected

00:15:29.259 --> 00:15:30.799
 to God's curse.

00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:33.240
 Why?

00:15:33.779 --> 00:15:34.899
 Because of

00:15:34.899 --> 00:15:35.699
 sin.

00:15:37.199 --> 00:15:38.159
 We are

00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:38.899
 in a

00:15:38.899 --> 00:15:40.099
 cursed world.

00:15:40.259 --> 00:15:40.679
 We were talking

00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:41.360
 about this

00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:42.179
 in our starting point

00:15:42.179 --> 00:15:42.879
 course this morning

00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:43.399
 a little bit

00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:44.819
 that we are

00:15:44.819 --> 00:15:45.699
 living in

00:15:45.699 --> 00:15:46.519
 the domain

00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:47.519
 of darkness.

00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:47.740
 darkness.

00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:48.939
 Remember

00:15:48.939 --> 00:15:49.980
 the battle

00:15:49.980 --> 00:15:50.579
 the cosmic

00:15:50.579 --> 00:15:51.000
 battle

00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:51.579
 in the heavens

00:15:51.579 --> 00:15:52.240
 long ago

00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:52.779
 before any

00:15:52.779 --> 00:15:53.100
 of this

00:15:53.100 --> 00:15:53.579
 existed

00:15:53.579 --> 00:15:54.799
 and Satan

00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:56.220
 and Lucifer

00:15:56.220 --> 00:15:57.279
 and his angels

00:15:57.279 --> 00:15:58.319
 fought against God

00:15:58.319 --> 00:15:58.819
 and of course

00:15:58.819 --> 00:15:59.620
 they couldn't win

00:15:59.620 --> 00:16:00.159
 and so God

00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:00.899
 cast them out

00:16:00.899 --> 00:16:01.279
 of heaven

00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:02.179
 down

00:16:02.179 --> 00:16:03.620
 to this

00:16:03.620 --> 00:16:04.220
 earth.

00:16:05.539 --> 00:16:06.299
 This is the

00:16:06.299 --> 00:16:06.720
 domain.

00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:07.720
 And then God

00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:08.220
 came down

00:16:08.220 --> 00:16:08.720
 and created

00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:09.720
 things perfectly.

00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:10.519
 He created

00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:12.379
 man and woman

00:16:12.379 --> 00:16:13.000
 perfectly

00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:14.019
 but he didn't

00:16:14.019 --> 00:16:14.740
 make them robots.

00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:15.639
 He gave them

00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:16.019
 choice.

00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:16.600
 He gave them

00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:17.159
 free will

00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:18.360
 knowing that

00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:18.819
 they would

00:16:18.819 --> 00:16:19.399
 choose the

00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:19.960
 opposite of

00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:20.159
 him.

00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:20.500
 They would

00:16:20.500 --> 00:16:21.139
 choose darkness

00:16:21.139 --> 00:16:21.840
 over light

00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:23.439
 and the curse

00:16:23.439 --> 00:16:24.360
 set in.

00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:25.980
 Satan

00:16:25.980 --> 00:16:27.279
 instead of

00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:27.639
 man

00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:28.480
 was given

00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:29.019
 dominion

00:16:29.019 --> 00:16:29.659
 over the

00:16:29.659 --> 00:16:29.899
 earth.

00:16:30.539 --> 00:16:31.379
 God created

00:16:31.379 --> 00:16:32.319
 mankind

00:16:32.319 --> 00:16:32.939
 to have

00:16:32.939 --> 00:16:33.279
 dominion

00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:33.559
 over the

00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:33.740
 earth

00:16:33.740 --> 00:16:34.019
 but then

00:16:34.019 --> 00:16:34.679
 we surrendered

00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:35.460
 that authority

00:16:35.460 --> 00:16:36.159
 over to

00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:36.580
 the devil.

00:16:37.019 --> 00:16:37.259
 So now

00:16:37.259 --> 00:16:37.559
 we live

00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:38.000
 in his

00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:38.580
 domain

00:16:38.580 --> 00:16:39.340
 and it's

00:16:39.340 --> 00:16:40.059
 not perfect

00:16:40.059 --> 00:16:40.480
 as God

00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:40.899
 intended

00:16:40.899 --> 00:16:41.340
 for it

00:16:41.340 --> 00:16:41.679
 to be.

00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:42.500
 It's under

00:16:42.500 --> 00:16:43.080
 the curse

00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:43.580
 of sin.

00:16:43.580 --> 00:16:44.480
 So all

00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:45.080
 creation

00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:46.500
 all the

00:16:46.500 --> 00:16:46.980
 beautiful

00:16:46.980 --> 00:16:47.400
 that we

00:16:47.400 --> 00:16:47.879
 see all

00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:48.400
 around us

00:16:48.400 --> 00:16:48.960
 in nature

00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:50.500
 all the

00:16:50.500 --> 00:16:51.879
 majesty

00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:52.720
 of God's

00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:53.240
 creation

00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:54.700
 the intricacy

00:16:54.700 --> 00:16:55.160
 of the

00:16:55.160 --> 00:16:55.940
 human body

00:16:55.940 --> 00:16:56.660
 everything

00:16:56.660 --> 00:16:57.160
 that we

00:16:57.160 --> 00:16:58.120
 marvel at

00:16:58.120 --> 00:16:58.860
 and admire

00:16:58.860 --> 00:16:59.600
 in God's

00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:00.100
 creation

00:17:00.100 --> 00:17:00.879
 it's all

00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:01.300
 cursed.

00:17:02.180 --> 00:17:02.960
 It's all

00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:03.540
 under God's

00:17:03.540 --> 00:17:03.900
 curse.

00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:06.960
 Creation

00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:07.740
 itself has

00:17:07.740 --> 00:17:08.200
 been pulled

00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:09.400
 into futility

00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:11.420
 like all

00:17:11.420 --> 00:17:12.079
 your efforts

00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:12.899
 are futile

00:17:12.899 --> 00:17:15.279
 worthless

00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:16.179
 destined

00:17:16.179 --> 00:17:16.779
 to fail

00:17:16.779 --> 00:17:17.899
 because

00:17:17.899 --> 00:17:18.639
 of this

00:17:18.639 --> 00:17:19.059
 curse.

00:17:19.539 --> 00:17:19.919
 The world

00:17:19.919 --> 00:17:20.699
 is bent

00:17:20.699 --> 00:17:21.960
 justice

00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:22.619
 is often

00:17:22.619 --> 00:17:23.460
 incorrect

00:17:23.460 --> 00:17:24.559
 or at

00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:24.759
 least

00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:25.319
 delayed

00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:26.619
 outcomes

00:17:26.619 --> 00:17:26.859
 are

00:17:26.859 --> 00:17:27.559
 unpredictable

00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:27.599
!

00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:28.559
 Death

00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:29.399
 shadows

00:17:29.399 --> 00:17:30.519
 everything

00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:31.059
 the Bible

00:17:31.059 --> 00:17:31.439
 doesn't

00:17:31.439 --> 00:17:31.839
 deny

00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:32.220
 that

00:17:32.220 --> 00:17:32.980
 it

00:17:32.980 --> 00:17:33.619
 explains

00:17:33.619 --> 00:17:33.919
 it

00:17:33.919 --> 00:17:35.259
 the world

00:17:35.259 --> 00:17:35.939
 is living

00:17:35.939 --> 00:17:36.539
 under the

00:17:36.539 --> 00:17:36.839
 curse

00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:37.299
 of sin

00:17:37.299 --> 00:17:38.119
 so yes

00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:39.159
 the world

00:17:39.159 --> 00:17:39.839
 is stacked

00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:40.220
 against

00:17:40.220 --> 00:17:40.500
 you

00:17:40.500 --> 00:17:42.599
 but here's

00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:42.880
 the good

00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:43.099
 news

00:17:43.099 --> 00:17:43.519
 that Solomon

00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:43.819
 didn't

00:17:43.819 --> 00:17:44.220
 have

00:17:44.220 --> 00:17:45.759
 Jesus

00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:47.259
 overcame

00:17:47.259 --> 00:17:48.420
 the world

00:17:48.420 --> 00:17:51.839
 Jesus

00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:53.440
 overcame

00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:54.859
 this

00:17:54.859 --> 00:17:55.799
 cursed

00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:56.539
 world

00:17:56.539 --> 00:17:58.119
 yes

00:17:58.119 --> 00:17:58.559
 the deck

00:17:58.559 --> 00:17:58.940
 is stacked

00:17:58.940 --> 00:17:59.259
 against

00:17:59.259 --> 00:18:00.099
 you

00:18:00.099 --> 00:18:00.460
 yes

00:18:00.460 --> 00:18:01.039
 the world

00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:01.859
 the flesh

00:18:01.859 --> 00:18:02.539
 and the devil

00:18:02.539 --> 00:18:03.319
 are trying

00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:03.920
 to stop

00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:04.119
 you

00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:04.960
 they're trying

00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:05.400
 to trip

00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:05.779
 you up

00:18:05.779 --> 00:18:06.400
 you're living

00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:07.319
 in the domain

00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:08.039
 of darkness

00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:09.200
 but Jesus

00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:10.339
 overcomes

00:18:10.339 --> 00:18:10.500
 it

00:18:10.500 --> 00:18:10.980
 that leads

00:18:10.980 --> 00:18:11.279
 us to

00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:11.539
 truth

00:18:11.539 --> 00:18:11.799
 number

00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:12.139
 two

00:18:12.139 --> 00:18:12.940
 Christ

00:18:12.940 --> 00:18:13.659
 broke

00:18:13.659 --> 00:18:14.420
 the curse

00:18:14.420 --> 00:18:15.079
 yes

00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:15.579
 this world

00:18:15.579 --> 00:18:16.139
 is cursed

00:18:16.139 --> 00:18:17.119
 but Christ

00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:17.879
 broke it

00:18:17.879 --> 00:18:18.420
 yes

00:18:18.420 --> 00:18:19.019
 life under

00:18:19.019 --> 00:18:19.440
 the sun

00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:19.920
 is under

00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:20.359
 the curse

00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:20.839
 of sin

00:18:20.839 --> 00:18:21.960
 but Christ

00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:22.720
 breaks

00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:23.500
 that curse

00:18:23.500 --> 00:18:24.680
 so Ecclesiastes

00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:24.680


00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:25.500
 looks at the

00:18:25.500 --> 00:18:25.779
 world

00:18:25.779 --> 00:18:26.579
 and sees

00:18:26.579 --> 00:18:27.200
 the reality

00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:27.599
 of the

00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:27.899
 shadow

00:18:27.899 --> 00:18:28.339
 of death

00:18:28.339 --> 00:18:28.940
 Jesus

00:18:28.940 --> 00:18:29.339
 says

00:18:29.339 --> 00:18:29.720
 I can

00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:30.099
 walk

00:18:30.099 --> 00:18:30.299
 through

00:18:30.299 --> 00:18:30.759
 the valley

00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:31.039
 of the

00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:31.299
 shadow

00:18:31.299 --> 00:18:31.680
 of death

00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:32.159
 and I

00:18:32.159 --> 00:18:32.559
 can get

00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:32.700
 you

00:18:32.700 --> 00:18:33.019
 to the

00:18:33.019 --> 00:18:33.200
 other

00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:33.539
 side

00:18:33.539 --> 00:18:34.200
 the

00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:34.599
 gospel

00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:35.200
 tells us

00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:35.399
 what

00:18:35.399 --> 00:18:35.740
 happened

00:18:35.740 --> 00:18:36.159
 next

00:18:36.159 --> 00:18:36.839
 Jesus

00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:37.359
 the son

00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:37.740
 of God

00:18:37.740 --> 00:18:38.460
 stepped

00:18:38.460 --> 00:18:38.980
 into

00:18:38.980 --> 00:18:39.500
 the

00:18:39.500 --> 00:18:39.779
 very

00:18:39.779 --> 00:18:40.279
 curse

00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:40.700
 that

00:18:40.700 --> 00:18:41.259
 breaks

00:18:41.259 --> 00:18:41.599
 this

00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:42.039
 world

00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:43.319
 and his

00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:43.700
 death

00:18:43.700 --> 00:18:44.059
 on the

00:18:44.059 --> 00:18:44.460
 cross

00:18:44.460 --> 00:18:45.359
 looks

00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:45.799
 like

00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:47.480
 he

00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:47.960
 lost

00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:49.120
 it

00:18:49.120 --> 00:18:49.519
 looks

00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:49.960
 like

00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:50.660
 he

00:18:50.660 --> 00:18:50.900
 was

00:18:50.900 --> 00:18:51.319
 defeated

00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:51.819
 by the

00:18:51.819 --> 00:18:52.160
 curse

00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:54.279
 that evil

00:18:54.279 --> 00:18:54.859
 won

00:18:54.859 --> 00:18:58.700
 but his

00:18:58.700 --> 00:18:59.120
 death

00:18:59.120 --> 00:18:59.440
 on the

00:18:59.440 --> 00:18:59.839
 cross

00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:01.259
 was a

00:19:01.259 --> 00:19:01.759
 result

00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:03.019
 of the

00:19:03.019 --> 00:19:03.519
 death

00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:04.480
 that this

00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:04.859
 cursed

00:19:04.859 --> 00:19:05.339
 world

00:19:05.339 --> 00:19:05.900
 leads

00:19:05.900 --> 00:19:06.180
 to

00:19:06.180 --> 00:19:06.640
 death

00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:07.480
 he

00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:08.200
 had

00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:08.440
 to

00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:08.799
 die

00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:09.840
 because

00:19:09.840 --> 00:19:10.539
 sin

00:19:10.539 --> 00:19:11.539
 and

00:19:11.539 --> 00:19:12.120
 destruction

00:19:12.120 --> 00:19:13.440
 leads

00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:13.660
 to

00:19:13.660 --> 00:19:13.960
 death

00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:14.500
 sin

00:19:14.500 --> 00:19:14.820
 and

00:19:14.820 --> 00:19:15.220
 darkness

00:19:15.220 --> 00:19:15.740
 leads

00:19:15.740 --> 00:19:15.960
 to

00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:16.279
 death

00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:16.460
 and

00:19:16.460 --> 00:19:16.900
 destruction

00:19:16.900 --> 00:19:17.720
 so

00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:18.160
 Jesus

00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:18.620
 took

00:19:18.620 --> 00:19:18.880
 that

00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:19.140
 on

00:19:19.140 --> 00:19:19.620
 himself

00:19:19.620 --> 00:19:20.400
 he

00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:20.620
 said

00:19:20.620 --> 00:19:20.759
 I

00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:20.920
 will

00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:21.259
 take

00:19:21.259 --> 00:19:21.480
 your

00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:21.799
 best

00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:22.120
 shot

00:19:22.120 --> 00:19:23.960
 and

00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:24.160
 I'll

00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:24.360
 come

00:19:24.360 --> 00:19:24.539
 up

00:19:24.539 --> 00:19:24.840
 swinging

00:19:24.840 --> 00:19:25.660
 I'll

00:19:25.660 --> 00:19:25.820
 come

00:19:25.820 --> 00:19:25.980
 up

00:19:25.980 --> 00:19:26.080
 the

00:19:26.080 --> 00:19:26.440
 victor

00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:27.759
 you

00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:27.980
 can

00:19:27.980 --> 00:19:28.220
 do

00:19:28.220 --> 00:19:28.480
 your

00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:28.920
 worst

00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:29.140
 to

00:19:29.140 --> 00:19:29.400
 me

00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:30.720
 sin

00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:31.360
 death

00:19:31.360 --> 00:19:31.920
 hell

00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:32.680
 darkness

00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:32.680


00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:33.500
 Satan

00:19:33.500 --> 00:19:34.640
 take

00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:34.799
 your

00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:35.019
 best

00:19:35.019 --> 00:19:35.299
 shot

00:19:35.299 --> 00:19:35.640
 kill

00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:36.019
 me

00:19:36.019 --> 00:19:37.660
 and

00:19:37.660 --> 00:19:37.779
 I

00:19:37.779 --> 00:19:38.039
 still

00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:38.240
 win

00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:38.360
 the

00:19:38.360 --> 00:19:38.660
 victory

00:19:38.660 --> 00:19:39.600
 because

00:19:39.600 --> 00:19:39.940
 the

00:19:39.940 --> 00:19:40.340
 curse

00:19:40.340 --> 00:19:40.820
 has

00:19:40.820 --> 00:19:41.019
 no

00:19:41.019 --> 00:19:41.480
 power

00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:42.460
 over

00:19:42.460 --> 00:19:42.680
 the

00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:42.840
 son

00:19:42.840 --> 00:19:42.980
 of

00:19:42.980 --> 00:19:43.240
 God

00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:43.880
 it's

00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:44.060
 got

00:19:44.060 --> 00:19:44.400
 power

00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:44.700
 over

00:19:44.700 --> 00:19:44.960
 you

00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:45.640
 it

00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:45.840
 had

00:19:45.840 --> 00:19:46.180
 power

00:19:46.180 --> 00:19:46.460
 over

00:19:46.460 --> 00:19:46.880
 Solomon

00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:47.480
 it

00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:47.680
 has

00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:48.000
 power

00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:48.299
 over

00:19:48.299 --> 00:19:48.560
 me

00:19:48.560 --> 00:19:49.160
 but

00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:49.279
 it

00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:49.539
 has

00:19:49.539 --> 00:19:49.779
 no

00:19:49.779 --> 00:19:50.200
 curse

00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:50.860
 over

00:19:50.860 --> 00:19:51.299
 God

00:19:51.299 --> 00:19:52.100
 so

00:19:52.100 --> 00:19:52.900
 we

00:19:52.900 --> 00:19:53.340
 literally

00:19:53.340 --> 00:19:53.740
 read

00:19:53.740 --> 00:19:53.900
 in

00:19:53.900 --> 00:19:54.440
 Deuteronomy

00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:54.799
 and

00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:54.920
 then

00:19:54.920 --> 00:19:55.180
 again

00:19:55.180 --> 00:19:55.360
 in

00:19:55.360 --> 00:19:55.980
 Galatians

00:19:55.980 --> 00:19:56.460
 that

00:19:56.460 --> 00:19:56.960
 anyone

00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:57.299
 who

00:19:57.299 --> 00:19:57.460
 is

00:19:57.460 --> 00:19:57.820
 hung

00:19:57.820 --> 00:19:58.080
 on

00:19:58.080 --> 00:19:58.240
 a

00:19:58.240 --> 00:19:58.580
 tree

00:19:58.580 --> 00:19:58.920
 is

00:19:58.920 --> 00:19:59.299
 under

00:19:59.299 --> 00:19:59.580
 a

00:19:59.580 --> 00:19:59.920
 curse

00:19:59.920 --> 00:20:00.340
 you

00:20:00.340 --> 00:20:00.620
 realize

00:20:00.620 --> 00:20:00.860
 what

00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:03.259
 Jesus

00:20:03.259 --> 00:20:03.880
 died

00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:04.200
 as a

00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:04.539
 result

00:20:04.539 --> 00:20:04.799
 of

00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:04.960
 the

00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:05.380
 curse

00:20:05.380 --> 00:20:05.920
 he

00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:06.400
 spelled

00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:06.620
 out

00:20:06.620 --> 00:20:06.779
 the

00:20:06.779 --> 00:20:07.140
 problem

00:20:07.140 --> 00:20:07.480
 for

00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:07.779
 us

00:20:07.779 --> 00:20:08.220
 then

00:20:08.220 --> 00:20:08.380
 the

00:20:08.380 --> 00:20:08.880
 resurrection

00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:09.500
 reveals

00:20:09.500 --> 00:20:10.019
 that

00:20:10.019 --> 00:20:10.320
 his

00:20:10.320 --> 00:20:10.680
 death

00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:10.900
 was

00:20:10.900 --> 00:20:11.440
 actually

00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:12.039
 the

00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:12.340
 means

00:20:12.340 --> 00:20:12.539
 to

 the

00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:03.259
 wrath

00:22:03.259 --> 00:22:03.420
 of

00:22:03.420 --> 00:22:03.779
 God's

00:22:03.779 --> 00:22:04.319
 punishment

00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:06.259
 instead

00:22:06.259 --> 00:22:07.000
 that

00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:07.220
 by

00:22:07.220 --> 00:22:07.539
 his

00:22:07.539 --> 00:22:08.160
 death

00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:09.139
 and

00:22:09.139 --> 00:22:09.339
 his

00:22:09.339 --> 00:22:10.000
 resurrection

00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:11.879
 Christ

00:22:11.879 --> 00:22:12.519
 defeated

00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:12.879
 the

00:22:12.879 --> 00:22:13.220
 enemy

00:22:13.220 --> 00:22:13.759
 he

00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:14.180
 broke

00:22:14.180 --> 00:22:14.440
 the

00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:14.819
 curse

00:22:14.819 --> 00:22:15.079
 of

00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:15.299
 sin

00:22:15.299 --> 00:22:15.440
 and

00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:15.759
 death

00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:17.240
 that's

00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:17.379
 the

00:22:17.379 --> 00:22:17.779
 gospel

00:22:17.779 --> 00:22:20.099
 what is

00:22:20.099 --> 00:22:20.259
 the

00:22:20.259 --> 00:22:20.660
 gospel

00:22:20.660 --> 00:22:21.160
 it's a

00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:21.339
 word

00:22:21.339 --> 00:22:21.660
 we hear

00:22:21.660 --> 00:22:21.920
 around

00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:22.319
 church

00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:23.220
 it's a

00:22:23.220 --> 00:22:23.420
 word

00:22:23.420 --> 00:22:23.740
 you might

00:22:23.740 --> 00:22:24.139
 read in

00:22:24.139 --> 00:22:24.279
 the

00:22:24.279 --> 00:22:24.599
 Bible

00:22:24.599 --> 00:22:25.119
 it's a

00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:25.319
 word

00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:25.680
 you might

00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:25.980
 hear

00:22:25.980 --> 00:22:26.339
 if you

00:22:26.339 --> 00:22:27.360
 hang around

00:22:27.360 --> 00:22:27.700
 church

00:22:27.700 --> 00:22:28.039
 people

00:22:28.039 --> 00:22:28.779
 sometimes

00:22:28.779 --> 00:22:29.680
 occasionally

00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:30.400
 outside of

00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:30.599
 that

00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:30.960
 but what

00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:31.279
 does that

00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:31.599
 mean

00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:32.299
 the gospel

00:22:32.299 --> 00:22:32.640
 is a

00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:32.839
 word

00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:33.120
 that we

00:22:33.120 --> 00:22:33.420
 hear

00:22:33.420 --> 00:22:34.220
 but sometimes

00:22:34.220 --> 00:22:34.779
 we'll struggle

00:22:34.779 --> 00:22:35.200
 to put it

00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:35.660
 into words

00:22:35.660 --> 00:22:36.299
 I think

00:22:36.299 --> 00:22:37.059
 there's one of my

00:22:37.059 --> 00:22:37.660
 favorite authors

00:22:37.660 --> 00:22:38.279
 Brian Zahn

00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:38.720
 he says

00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:39.900
 the gospel

00:22:39.900 --> 00:22:40.460
 is the

00:22:40.460 --> 00:22:41.460
 beautiful story

00:22:41.460 --> 00:22:42.500
 of how God

00:22:42.500 --> 00:22:43.160
 is bringing

00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:43.700
 the world

00:22:43.700 --> 00:22:44.720
 out of bondage

00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:45.259
 to sin

00:22:45.259 --> 00:22:45.839
 and death

00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:47.380
 through the

00:22:47.380 --> 00:22:47.819
 triumph

00:22:47.819 --> 00:22:48.299
 of Jesus

00:22:48.299 --> 00:22:48.740
 Christ

00:22:48.740 --> 00:22:49.640
 that's a

00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:50.240
 really nice

00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:50.740
 definition

00:22:50.740 --> 00:22:51.480
 of what the

00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:52.180
 gospel is

00:22:52.180 --> 00:22:52.980
 it's the

00:22:52.980 --> 00:22:53.620
 story

00:22:53.620 --> 00:22:55.420
 of God

00:22:55.420 --> 00:22:56.960
 rescuing

00:22:56.960 --> 00:22:57.380
 us

00:22:57.380 --> 00:22:58.820
 freeing

00:22:58.820 --> 00:22:59.220
 us

00:22:59.220 --> 00:23:00.460
 from this

00:23:00.460 --> 00:23:00.920
 curse

00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:01.420
 of sin

00:23:01.420 --> 00:23:03.100
 that's

00:23:03.100 --> 00:23:03.360
 what the

00:23:03.360 --> 00:23:03.720
 gospel

00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:04.580
 is

00:23:04.580 --> 00:23:05.420
 that's

00:23:05.420 --> 00:23:06.039
 Christus

00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:06.580
 victor

00:23:06.580 --> 00:23:07.340
 victorious

00:23:07.340 --> 00:23:08.200
 Christ

00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:09.620
 it's the

00:23:09.620 --> 00:23:10.039
 best news

00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:10.340
 you'll ever

00:23:10.340 --> 00:23:10.580
 hear

00:23:10.580 --> 00:23:11.840
 it's what

00:23:11.840 --> 00:23:12.440
 gives meaning

00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:12.860
 to our

00:23:12.860 --> 00:23:13.259
 lives

00:23:13.259 --> 00:23:14.279
 so our

00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:14.539
 takeaway

00:23:14.539 --> 00:23:15.140
 from this

00:23:15.140 --> 00:23:16.240
 when death

00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:16.759
 lost its

00:23:16.759 --> 00:23:17.160
 power

00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:18.340
 life

00:23:18.340 --> 00:23:18.720
 gained

00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:18.880
 its

00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:19.279
 purpose

00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:20.980
 what's

00:23:20.980 --> 00:23:21.139
 the

00:23:21.139 --> 00:23:21.619
 purpose

00:23:21.619 --> 00:23:22.339
 of life

00:23:22.339 --> 00:23:23.000
 what's

00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:23.160
 the

00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:23.399
 meaning

00:23:23.399 --> 00:23:25.420
 of life

00:23:25.420 --> 00:23:25.980
 ultimately

00:23:25.980 --> 00:23:26.619
 it's all

00:23:26.619 --> 00:23:27.259
 meaningless

00:23:27.259 --> 00:23:28.259
 ultimately

00:23:28.259 --> 00:23:28.779
 there is

00:23:28.779 --> 00:23:29.299
 no purpose

00:23:29.299 --> 00:23:30.059
 and that's

00:23:30.059 --> 00:23:30.339
 what you

00:23:30.339 --> 00:23:30.839
 see from

00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:31.240
 Solomon

00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:33.200
 all throughout

00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:33.879
 Ecclesiastes

00:23:33.879 --> 00:23:33.879


00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:34.920
 he keeps

00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:36.139
 hammering home

00:23:36.139 --> 00:23:36.759
 this idea

00:23:36.759 --> 00:23:37.180
 that man

00:23:37.180 --> 00:23:37.940
 you can try

00:23:37.940 --> 00:23:38.859
 you can get

00:23:38.859 --> 00:23:39.319
 in the rat

00:23:39.319 --> 00:23:39.660
 race

00:23:39.660 --> 00:23:39.960
 and you

00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:40.420
 can win

00:23:40.420 --> 00:23:40.680
 it

00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:41.480
 but at the

00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:41.680
 end of

00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:41.859
 the day

00:23:41.859 --> 00:23:42.220
 you're still

00:23:42.220 --> 00:23:42.639
 a rat

00:23:42.639 --> 00:23:44.339
 Walter

00:23:44.339 --> 00:23:44.660
 Brueggemann

00:23:44.660 --> 00:23:45.039
 said that

00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:45.339
 I didn't

00:23:45.339 --> 00:23:45.799
 say that

00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:46.680
 but I

00:23:46.680 --> 00:23:47.279
 repeated it

00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:48.920
 I love

00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:49.299
 that quote

00:23:49.299 --> 00:23:49.700
 you know

00:23:49.700 --> 00:23:50.660
 yeah at

00:23:50.660 --> 00:23:50.859
 the end

00:23:50.859 --> 00:23:51.059
 of the

00:23:51.059 --> 00:23:51.359
 day

00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:53.000
 you can

00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:53.139
 do

00:23:53.139 --> 00:23:53.480
 everything

00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:53.899
 right

00:23:53.899 --> 00:23:55.119
 you're

00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:55.460
 still not

00:23:55.460 --> 00:23:55.619
 going to

00:23:55.619 --> 00:23:55.879
 come out

00:23:55.879 --> 00:23:56.099
 ahead

00:23:56.099 --> 00:23:57.180
 you're

00:23:57.180 --> 00:23:57.500
 still not

00:23:57.500 --> 00:23:57.660
 going to

00:23:57.660 --> 00:23:58.000
 ultimately

00:23:58.000 --> 00:23:58.319
 win

00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:00.660
 because the

00:24:00.660 --> 00:24:00.980
 world is

00:24:00.980 --> 00:24:01.339
 cursed

00:24:01.339 --> 00:24:03.319
 but God

00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:03.879
 is the

00:24:03.879 --> 00:24:04.399
 X factor

00:24:04.399 --> 00:24:05.879
 Jesus

00:24:05.879 --> 00:24:06.539
 is the

00:24:06.539 --> 00:24:07.059
 X factor

00:24:07.059 --> 00:24:07.660
 he's the

00:24:07.660 --> 00:24:08.000
 one who

00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:08.440
 came down

00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:09.000
 and broke

00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:09.500
 the curse

00:24:09.500 --> 00:24:10.279
 there was

00:24:10.279 --> 00:24:10.879
 no hope

00:24:10.879 --> 00:24:11.779
 there was

00:24:11.779 --> 00:24:12.399
 only hope

00:24:12.399 --> 00:24:12.899
 of him

00:24:12.899 --> 00:24:13.339
 coming

00:24:13.339 --> 00:24:14.019
 but then

00:24:14.019 --> 00:24:14.980
 he came

00:24:14.980 --> 00:24:16.859
 and now

00:24:16.859 --> 00:24:17.779
 we get

00:24:17.779 --> 00:24:18.099
 hope

00:24:18.099 --> 00:24:18.419
 that is

00:24:18.419 --> 00:24:19.059
 alive

00:24:19.059 --> 00:24:20.139
 hope

00:24:20.139 --> 00:24:20.519
 that is

00:24:20.519 --> 00:24:21.019
 real

00:24:21.019 --> 00:24:21.979
 hope

00:24:21.979 --> 00:24:22.199
 that

00:24:22.199 --> 00:24:22.740
 happened

00:24:22.740 --> 00:24:23.819
 hope

00:24:23.819 --> 00:24:24.019
 that

00:24:24.019 --> 00:24:24.240
 took

00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:24.819
 place

00:24:24.819 --> 00:24:25.699
 now

00:24:25.699 --> 00:24:26.579
 hope

00:24:26.579 --> 00:24:27.119
 turns

00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:27.579
 into

00:24:27.579 --> 00:24:28.459
 faith

00:24:28.459 --> 00:24:29.979
 now

00:24:29.979 --> 00:24:30.339
 we have

00:24:30.339 --> 00:24:30.699
 faith

00:24:30.699 --> 00:24:30.939
 in the

00:24:30.939 --> 00:24:31.099
 one

00:24:31.099 --> 00:24:31.240
 who

00:24:31.240 --> 00:24:31.459
 did

00:24:31.459 --> 00:24:31.719
 come

00:24:31.719 --> 00:24:32.559
 the

00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:32.759
 one

00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:32.939
 who

00:24:32.939 --> 00:24:33.159
 did

00:24:33.159 --> 00:24:33.439
 win

00:24:33.439 --> 00:24:34.259
 the

00:24:34.259 --> 00:24:34.459
 one

00:24:34.459 --> 00:24:34.639
 who

00:25:21.180 --> 00:25:22.620
 you

00:25:22.620 --> 00:25:22.840
 don't

00:25:22.840 --> 00:25:23.120
 know

00:25:23.120 --> 00:25:24.519
 if

 your

 the

00:25:29.900 --> 00:25:30.100
 deck

00:25:30.100 --> 00:25:30.200
 is

00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:30.320
 going

00:25:30.320 --> 00:25:30.340
 to

 be

00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:30.720
 stacked

 against

00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:31.299
 you

00:25:31.299 --> 00:25:31.440
 and

00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:31.680
 life

00:25:31.680 --> 00:25:31.840
 is

00:25:31.840 --> 00:25:32.220
 rigged

00:25:32.220 --> 00:25:32.340
 and

00:25:32.340 --> 00:25:32.539
 it's

00:25:32.539 --> 00:25:32.799
 just

00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:33.519
 you're

00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:33.600
 going

00:25:33.600 --> 00:25:33.640
 to

00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:33.799
 come

00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:33.960
 up

00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:34.259
 empty

00:25:34.259 --> 00:25:35.839
 do

00:25:35.839 --> 00:25:36.079
 the

00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:36.440
 next

00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:36.779
 right

00:25:36.779 --> 00:25:37.160
 thing

00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:37.680
 anyway

00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:38.460
 because

00:25:38.460 --> 00:25:38.879
 you

00:25:38.879 --> 00:25:39.180
 know

00:25:39.180 --> 00:25:40.039
 that

00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:40.180
 no

00:25:40.180 --> 00:25:40.400
 matter

00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:40.900
 what

00:25:40.900 --> 00:25:41.500
 life

00:25:41.500 --> 00:25:42.200
 the

00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:42.519
 world

00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:42.700
 the

00:25:42.700 --> 00:25:43.000
 flesh

00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:43.200
 the

00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:43.440
 devil

00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:43.879
 throws

00:25:43.879 --> 00:25:44.279
 against

00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:44.680
 you

00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:45.299
 you

00:25:45.299 --> 00:25:45.599
 know

00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:45.779
 that

00:25:45.779 --> 00:25:46.019
 that

00:25:46.019 --> 00:25:46.339
 curse

00:25:46.339 --> 00:25:46.680
 has

00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:47.059
 been

00:25:47.059 --> 00:25:47.839
 broken

00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:49.359
 yes

00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:49.640
 we're

00:25:49.640 --> 00:25:49.859
 still

00:25:49.859 --> 00:25:50.220
 surrounded

00:25:50.220 --> 00:25:50.460
 by

00:25:50.460 --> 00:25:50.799
 sin

00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:51.460
 yes

00:25:51.460 --> 00:25:51.720
 we

00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:52.140
 still

00:25:52.140 --> 00:25:52.819
 participate

00:25:52.819 --> 00:25:53.240
 in

00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:53.539
 sin

00:25:53.539 --> 00:25:54.160
 sometimes

00:25:54.160 --> 00:25:54.700
 because

00:25:54.700 --> 00:25:55.000
 God

00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:55.220
 is in

00:25:55.220 --> 00:25:55.359
 the

00:25:55.359 --> 00:25:55.759
 process

00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:56.279
 of

00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:56.940
 changing

00:25:56.940 --> 00:25:57.220
 us

00:25:57.220 --> 00:25:57.400
 we're

00:25:57.400 --> 00:25:57.599
 not

00:25:57.599 --> 00:25:57.980
 totally

00:25:57.980 --> 00:25:58.500
 changed

00:25:58.500 --> 00:25:58.900
 yet

00:25:58.900 --> 00:26:00.200
 so

00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:00.480
 our

00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:00.879
 job

00:26:00.879 --> 00:26:01.140
 is

00:26:01.140 --> 00:26:01.259
 to

00:26:01.259 --> 00:26:01.379
 do

00:26:01.379 --> 00:26:01.519
 the

00:26:01.519 --> 00:26:01.779
 next

00:26:01.779 --> 00:26:02.140
 right

00:26:02.140 --> 00:26:02.579
 thing

00:26:02.579 --> 00:26:03.259
 even

00:26:03.259 --> 00:26:03.740
 facing

00:26:03.740 --> 00:26:04.279
 uncertain

00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:04.740
 outcomes

00:26:04.740 --> 00:26:05.220
 secondly

00:26:05.220 --> 00:26:05.819
 it's

00:26:05.819 --> 00:26:05.980
 to

00:26:05.980 --> 00:26:06.420
 refuse

00:26:06.420 --> 00:26:06.720
 to

00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:07.240
 remeasure

00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:07.599
 your

00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:08.059
 life

00:26:08.059 --> 00:26:08.299
 by

00:26:08.299 --> 00:26:08.759
 immediate

00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:09.460
 results

00:26:09.460 --> 00:26:10.960
 we

00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:11.559
 let

00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:11.839
 this

00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:12.120
 trip

00:26:12.120 --> 00:26:12.359
 us

00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:12.559
 up

00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:12.839
 so

00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:13.120
 many

00:26:13.120 --> 00:26:13.620
 times

00:26:13.620 --> 00:26:14.480
 we

00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:14.819
 are

00:26:14.819 --> 00:26:15.380
 prisoners

00:26:15.380 --> 00:26:15.960
 of

00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:16.099
 the

00:26:16.099 --> 00:26:16.539
 moment

00:26:16.539 --> 00:26:17.779
 well

00:26:17.779 --> 00:26:17.880
 if

00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:18.019
 it

00:26:18.019 --> 00:26:18.380
 didn't

00:26:18.380 --> 00:26:18.759
 help

00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:18.920
 me

00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:19.299
 right

00:26:19.299 --> 00:26:19.700
 now

00:26:19.700 --> 00:26:19.920
 then

00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:20.140
 what

00:26:20.140 --> 00:26:20.380
 good

00:26:20.380 --> 00:26:20.559
 is

00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:20.819
 it

00:26:20.819 --> 00:26:21.960
 Jesus

00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:22.359
 was

00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:22.819
 never

00:26:22.819 --> 00:26:23.099
 a

 us

00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:53.180
 captive

00:28:53.180 --> 00:28:54.740
 so

00:28:54.740 --> 00:28:55.920
 the

00:28:55.920 --> 00:28:56.200
 world

00:28:56.200 --> 00:28:56.420
 under

00:28:56.420 --> 00:28:56.620
 the

00:28:56.620 --> 00:28:56.860
 sun

00:28:56.860 --> 00:28:57.680
 is

00:28:57.680 --> 00:28:58.039
 broken

00:28:58.039 --> 00:28:58.559
 it's

00:28:58.559 --> 00:28:58.920
 cursed

00:28:58.920 --> 00:29:00.019
 but the

00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:00.700
 the

00:29:00.700 --> 00:29:00.900
 sun

00:29:00.900 --> 00:29:01.400
 came

00:29:01.400 --> 00:29:01.819
 down

00:29:01.819 --> 00:29:02.079
 to

00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:02.319
 our

00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:02.640
 world

00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:03.000
 under

00:29:03.220 --> 00:29:03.440
 sun

00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:04.160
 and

00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:04.279
 he

00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:04.599
 broke

00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:04.819
 that

00:29:04.819 --> 00:29:05.140
 curse

00:29:05.140 --> 00:29:06.039
 Jesus

00:29:06.039 --> 00:29:06.299
 is

00:29:06.299 --> 00:29:06.480
 our

00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:06.920
 rescuer

00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:07.319
 Jesus

00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:07.720
 brings

00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:07.920
 the

00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:08.200
 joy

00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:08.980
 he

00:29:08.980 --> 00:29:09.220
 brings

00:29:09.220 --> 00:29:09.380
 the

00:29:09.380 --> 00:29:09.680
 freedom

00:29:09.680 --> 00:29:10.200
 to

00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:10.400
 this

00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:10.759

00:29:11.740 --> 00:29:11.920
 so

00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:12.099
 we've

00:29:12.099 --> 00:29:12.180

00:29:12.620 --> 00:29:12.920
 question

00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:13.140
 every

00:29:13.140 --> 00:29:13.360
 week

00:29:13.360 --> 00:29:13.460
 and

00:29:13.460 --> 00:29:13.579
 we've

00:29:13.579 --> 00:29:13.680
 been

00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:13.980
 answering

00:29:13.980 --> 00:29:14.000

00:29:14.700 --> 00:29:14.860
 do

00:29:14.860 --> 00:29:14.960
 it

00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:15.220
 again

00:29:15.220 --> 00:29:15.220


00:29:15.220 --> 00:29:15.839
 how

00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:25.599
 let's

00:29:25.599 --> 00:29:25.819
 pray

00:29:25.819 --> 00:29:26.140
 God

00:29:26.140 --> 00:29:26.400
 that's

00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:26.519
 what

00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:26.640
 we

00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:26.799
 want

00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:26.900
 to

00:29:26.900 --> 00:29:27.039
 do

00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:27.259
 right

00:29:27.259 --> 00:29:27.500
 now

00:29:27.500 --> 00:29:27.720
 is

00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:28.039
 fix

00:29:28.039 --> 00:29:28.339
 our

00:29:28.339 --> 00:29:28.680
 eyes

00:29:28.680 --> 00:29:29.180
 above

00:29:29.180 --> 00:29:29.440
 the

00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:29.700

00:29:29.700 --> 00:29:29.900
 we

00:29:29.900 --> 00:29:30.420
 recognize

00:29:30.420 --> 00:29:30.799
 that

00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:30.980
 this

00:29:30.980 --> 00:29:31.220
 world

00:29:31.220 --> 00:29:31.400
 is

00:29:31.400 --> 00:29:31.720
 broken

00:29:31.720 --> 00:29:31.960
 it

00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:32.120
 is

00:29:32.120 --> 00:29:32.480
 cursed

00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:33.160
 sometimes

00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:33.579
 we

00:29:33.579 --> 00:29:33.819
 see

00:29:33.819 --> 00:29:34.259
 glimpses

00:29:34.259 --> 00:29:34.420
 of

 light

00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:35.339
 sometimes

 and

00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:37.299
 acting

00:29:37.299 --> 00:29:37.480
 in

00:29:37.819 --> 00:29:38.180
 and

 we

00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:38.640
 love

00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:38.860
 that

00:29:38.860 --> 00:29:39.039
 but

00:29:39.039 --> 00:29:39.240
 we're

00:29:39.240 --> 00:29:39.660
