00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.180
 and then read the passage for today.

00:00:02.919 --> 00:00:05.600
 Dear God, thank you for today.

00:00:05.780 --> 00:00:08.099
 Thank you for bringing us all here.

00:00:08.380 --> 00:00:12.300
 We pray, God, that as we read, as your word is read and preached, oh God,

00:00:12.380 --> 00:00:16.399
 that you would just speak to us individually, God.

00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:19.500
 Lord, we know that your word is alive and active, God.

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:24.000
 We pray that, yeah, we would really see you and know you

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:29.240
 and that your truth, oh God, would be made alive in our lives today.

00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:30.399
 In Jesus' name.

00:00:32.019 --> 00:00:40.679
 Okay, so I'm going to read from Luke 3, starting from verse, let's say, 21 to 413.

00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:47.539
 Now, when all the people were baptized and when Jesus also had been baptized

00:00:47.539 --> 00:00:49.959
 and was praying, the heavens were opened,

00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:54.179
 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dog.

00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:56.579
 And a voice came from heaven,

00:00:56.579 --> 00:00:58.879
 You are my beloved son.

00:00:59.019 --> 00:01:00.679
 With you I am well pleased.

00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:06.000
 Jesus, when he began his ministry, was about 30 years of age,

00:01:06.420 --> 00:01:09.039
 being the son of, as was supposed, of Joseph,

00:01:09.579 --> 00:01:12.680
 the son of Heli, the son of Metathat,

00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:14.000
 the son of Levi,

00:01:14.739 --> 00:01:15.599

 the son of Joseph,

 the son of Metathias,

 the son of Amos,

00:01:21.459 --> 00:01:22.739
 the son of Nahum,

 the son of Esli,

00:01:24.539 --> 00:01:25.659
 the son of Nagaiah,

00:01:26.179 --> 00:01:27.139
 the son of Math,

00:01:27.659 --> 00:01:28.959
 the son of Metathias,

00:01:29.259 --> 00:01:30.299
 the son of Simeon,

00:01:30.899 --> 00:01:31.799
 the son of Josek,

00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:32.599
 the son of Judah,

00:01:33.219 --> 00:01:34.639
 the son of Joannan,

00:01:34.939 --> 00:01:35.839
 the son of Reza,

00:01:36.500 --> 00:01:37.599
 the son of Zerubbabel,

00:01:38.019 --> 00:01:38.819

00:01:41.659 --> 00:01:42.639
 the son of Mirai,

00:01:43.060 --> 00:01:43.879
 the son of Melchi,

00:01:44.039 --> 00:01:45.119
 the son of Adai,

00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:46.219
 the son of Kosam,

00:01:46.299 --> 00:01:49.400
 the son of El-Madan,

00:01:50.019 --> 00:01:51.280
 the son of Er,

00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:52.539
 the son of Joshua,

00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:54.439
 the son of Eliezer,

00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:55.719
 the son of Jorim,

00:01:56.260 --> 00:01:58.659
 the son of Mat Corinthians,

00:01:58.659 --> 00:01:59.500
 the son of Levi,

00:01:59.819 --> 00:02:00.959
 the son of Simeon,

00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:02.200
 the son of Judah,

00:02:02.659 --> 00:02:03.439
 the son of Joseph,

00:02:03.700 --> 00:02:04.480
 the son of JahХ notice,

00:02:05.259 --> 00:02:06.500
 the son of Eliakim,

00:02:06.819 --> 00:02:07.840
 the son of Meliah,

00:02:08.419 --> 00:02:09.240
 the son of Mena,

00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:10.579
 the son of Matatha,

00:02:11.219 --> 00:02:12.159
 the son of Nathan,

00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:13.079
 the son ofman,

00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:13.419
 the son of David,

00:02:14.139 --> 00:02:15.020
 the son of Jesse,

00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:16.099
 the son of bat,

00:02:16.219 --> 00:02:24.340
 the son of Boaz the son of Salah the son of Nashih the son of Aminadab the son of Ajme the son of Arnie

00:02:24.340 --> 00:02:30.400
 the son of Hezron the son of Perez the son of Judah the son of Jacob the son of Isaac

00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:37.500
 the son of Abraham the son of Terah the son of Nahor the son of Saruk the son of Rheul the son

00:02:37.500 --> 00:02:44.479
 of Pellick the son of Eber the son of Shela the son of Canaan the son of Arfaxad the son of Shem

00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:50.699
 the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared,

00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:59.379
 the son of Mahalel, the son of Canaan, the son of Anos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.

00:03:00.959 --> 00:03:08.239
 And Jesus, full of the Spirit, returned from Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness for 40 days,

00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:15.280
 being tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during those days, and when they were ended, he was hungry.

00:03:15.860 --> 00:03:20.820
 The devil said to him, If you are the son of God, command these stones to become bread.

00:03:21.460 --> 00:03:25.900
 And Jesus answered him, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone.

00:03:27.180 --> 00:03:32.400
 And the devil took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in the moment of time,

00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:39.780
 and said to him, To you I will give all these authority and their glory, for it hath been delivered to me,

00:03:40.200 --> 00:03:46.439
 and I give it to whom I will. If you then will worship me, it will all be yours.

00:03:46.780 --> 00:03:53.680
 And Jesus answered him, It is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.

00:03:54.439 --> 00:04:01.099
 And he took him to Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him,

00:04:01.099 --> 00:04:06.439
 If you are the son of God, throw yourself down from there, for it is written,

00:04:06.739 --> 00:04:10.060
 He will command his angels concerning you to guard you.

00:04:10.699 --> 00:04:14.759
 And on their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against the stone.

00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:20.019
 And Jesus answered, It is said, You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.

00:04:20.500 --> 00:04:26.699
 And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time.

00:04:27.300 --> 00:04:28.319
 This is the word of God.

00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:29.219
 Thanks.

00:04:31.100 --> 00:04:50.600
 Imagine meeting someone that's just gleaming with glory and charisma.

00:04:52.100 --> 00:04:56.660
 And surely you think to yourself, This is a VIP.

00:04:57.100 --> 00:04:58.379
 This is an important person.

00:04:58.379 --> 00:05:07.899
 And that person walks right up to you with such gravitas that you feel tempted to bow down in his presence,

00:05:08.159 --> 00:05:09.300
 almost to worship him.

00:05:10.180 --> 00:05:14.579
 And that's what we see in Revelation chapter 22, verses 8 to 9.

00:05:14.779 --> 00:05:19.279
 And after encountering an angel of God and hearing his words and seeing his visions,

00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:20.719
 Apostle John says,

00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:25.420
 When I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me.

00:05:25.900 --> 00:05:28.540
 But he said to me, You must not do that.

00:05:28.620 --> 00:05:35.800
 I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers, the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book.

00:05:36.620 --> 00:05:37.720
 Worship God.

00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:43.300
 This great personage is merely a servant.

00:05:43.300 --> 00:05:48.540
 Who then is the king that this servant ministers to?

00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:53.520
 If this is the manner of the servant, what kind of a person could this king be?

00:05:54.400 --> 00:05:58.280
 If this is the butler, what kind of a person is the master of the house?

00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:02.679
 That's kind of where we find ourselves here in Luke chapter 3, 21.

00:06:02.939 --> 00:06:06.500
 Because in chapter 3, earlier in chapter 3, we met John the Baptist.

00:06:06.939 --> 00:06:10.559
 And we were told about his birth, that he will be great before the Lord.

00:06:10.859 --> 00:06:17.979
 And his birth was attended with such remarkable circumstances that murmurings and rumors about him spread all over the town and the entire region.

00:06:17.979 --> 00:06:20.419
 And people were openly wondering to themselves,

00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:26.459
 What then will this child be?

00:06:26.459 --> 00:06:34.459
 The people were in expectation and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John whether he might be the Christ.

00:06:34.599 --> 00:06:36.739
 Luke chapter 3, verses 15 to 16.

00:06:37.939 --> 00:06:41.519
 But John answered them all, saying,

00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:45.560
 I baptize you with water, but he who is mightier than I is coming,

00:06:45.979 --> 00:06:48.939
 the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.

00:06:49.339 --> 00:06:53.079
 He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:57.459
 So in the ancient Near East, right, the desert climate,

00:06:57.899 --> 00:07:01.199
 people's feet were clad with open-toed sandals,

00:07:01.419 --> 00:07:03.859
 and so it would always become caked with dirt.

00:07:04.500 --> 00:07:06.879
 And so washing the feet, therefore, was a daily necessity,

00:07:07.099 --> 00:07:09.219
 but this was considered such a demeaning task

00:07:09.219 --> 00:07:12.079
 that Jews insisted that even slaves were not,

00:07:12.180 --> 00:07:13.939
 Jewish slaves were not worthy of this task.

00:07:14.339 --> 00:07:16.759
 That you should only have Gentile slaves do this,

00:07:16.819 --> 00:07:19.000
 and Jewish slaves were not allowed to wash people's feet.

00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:23.879
 And yet this great personage, this seeming VIP, the John the Baptist,

00:07:24.500 --> 00:07:29.220
 says, I am not worthy to untie the sandals of this one who is to come.

00:07:30.060 --> 00:07:33.620
 And so that's whom we are about to encounter.

00:07:33.740 --> 00:07:36.500
 This great Jewish prophet, the powerful man of God,

00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:39.660
 whom openly many wondered whether or not it was the Christ,

00:07:40.060 --> 00:07:42.480
 says, no, this master is coming.

00:07:42.620 --> 00:07:43.680
 It is not I.

00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:49.199
 And that's whom we meet in Luke chapter 3, 21 to chapter 4, verse 13.

00:07:49.459 --> 00:07:53.660
 And in this passage, we learn that Jesus is the Son of God

00:07:53.660 --> 00:07:58.939
 who represents and restores humanity to their rightful relationship with God.

00:07:59.019 --> 00:08:00.399
 That's the main point of this passage.

00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:02.519
 And we'll see that in three parts.

00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:04.860
 First, we see the announcement of the Son of God.

00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:07.379
 Second, we see the ancestry of the Son of God.

00:08:07.579 --> 00:08:11.160
 And third, we see the allegiance of the Son of God.

00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:15.000
 In verses 21 to 22, we say that,

00:08:15.220 --> 00:08:17.140
 Now when all the people were baptized,

00:08:17.640 --> 00:08:20.980
 and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying,

00:08:21.820 --> 00:08:23.140
 the heavens were opened,

00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:27.360
 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove.

00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:29.360
 And a voice came from heaven,

00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:32.940
 You are my beloved Son, with you I am well pleased.

00:08:33.460 --> 00:08:37.320
 In the parallel passage in Matthew chapter 3 and Mark chapter 1,

00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.480
 We also learn that the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus after he was baptized.

00:08:41.700 --> 00:08:42.680
 So that's the same.

00:08:43.160 --> 00:08:46.879
 But Luke gives us the additional detail that it was, in fact,

00:08:47.160 --> 00:08:48.540
 after Jesus was baptized,

00:08:48.940 --> 00:08:51.820
 and while he was in the act of praying to God,

00:08:51.980 --> 00:08:53.379
 that the heavens were opened,

00:08:53.760 --> 00:08:55.620
 and the Holy Spirit descended on him.

00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:57.140
 And a voice came from heaven.

00:08:57.780 --> 00:09:01.520
 So God saw it fit to include four gospel accounts in Scripture,

00:09:01.640 --> 00:09:03.700
 because each has its particular emphasis.

00:09:03.700 --> 00:09:08.280
 And this emphasis on prayer is Luke's particular contribution.

00:09:09.020 --> 00:09:12.920
 So in the pivotal moments of Jesus' life and ministry in the Gospel of Luke

00:09:12.920 --> 00:09:15.259
 are all preceded by prayer.

00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:18.500
 So before choosing his 12 disciples,

00:09:18.680 --> 00:09:21.800
 who will go on to become the apostles and the foundation of the church,

00:09:22.100 --> 00:09:23.640
 it says in Luke chapter 6, 12,

00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:27.300
 that all night Jesus continued in prayer to God.

00:09:27.299 --> 00:09:31.099
 Immediately before Peter makes the breakthrough confession

00:09:31.099 --> 00:09:33.599
 that Jesus is the Christ of God,

00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:35.979
 Jesus was praying alone.

00:09:36.779 --> 00:09:40.879
 And just before Jesus is transfigured with dazzling glory of God

00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:43.159
 and joined by Moses and Elijah on the mountain,

00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:44.579
 it says in Luke 9, 29,

00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:46.339
 Jesus was praying.

00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:51.079
 It was after Jesus finished praying in Luke chapter 11, verse 1,

00:09:51.259 --> 00:09:53.500
 that he teaches his disciples how to pray

00:09:53.500 --> 00:09:54.979
 with the motto of the Lord's Prayer.

00:09:54.980 --> 00:10:00.440
 And finally, before his impending arrest, trial, death, and resurrection,

00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:02.519
 it says in Luke chapter 22, 41,

00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:05.139
 that Jesus knelt down and prayed.

00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:07.860
 Why does this happen?

00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:11.100
 Luke is intentionally driving home a point with this,

00:10:11.220 --> 00:10:14.860
 because like the petals that the flower girl drops

00:10:14.860 --> 00:10:17.360
 in preparation for the entrance of the bride,

00:10:17.580 --> 00:10:21.740
 like the light that breaks on the horizon at dawn

00:10:21.740 --> 00:10:23.560
 before the rising of the sun,

00:10:23.559 --> 00:10:27.879
 God has appointed that prayer in the life of the spiritual person

00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:30.479
 to be the forerunner to all of his blessings.

00:10:32.939 --> 00:10:35.439
 We take for granted what was given to us

00:10:35.439 --> 00:10:37.099
 if we receive it without asking,

00:10:37.719 --> 00:10:39.219
 but we cherish it

00:10:39.219 --> 00:10:42.019
 if it's given to us after much seeking.

00:10:42.019 --> 00:10:47.840
 Like parents who are ready to give what is good to their children,

00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:49.879
 but only ways that they would ask,

00:10:50.179 --> 00:10:52.480
 because in the act of asking and giving,

00:10:52.620 --> 00:10:55.000
 there's a deepening of love and trust.

00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:59.860
 Our Heavenly Father stands ready to bestow what we would ask,

00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:02.279
 ready to bestow on us every spiritual blessing

00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:04.000
 in the heavenly places,

00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.100
 awaiting that we would pray.

00:11:07.100 --> 00:11:11.519
 And so this is really a side point here,

00:11:11.580 --> 00:11:12.860
 but we are creatures of time,

00:11:13.100 --> 00:11:15.920
 and so we like to mark days and weeks and years,

00:11:16.040 --> 00:11:19.759
 and often we make resolutions for the new year,

00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.060
 when January 1st comes.

00:11:22.700 --> 00:11:25.879
 And so let me remind you that we're also creatures of habit,

00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:27.639
 and so I want to ask you a question.

00:11:27.740 --> 00:11:30.080
 Do you have a habit of daily prayer?

00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:35.639
 Have you set aside regular time and place to pray?

00:11:39.560 --> 00:11:42.580
 Because you have not set a deliberate course to pray,

00:11:42.680 --> 00:11:44.139
 then you have planned not to pray.

00:11:50.700 --> 00:11:51.960
 Not to guilt trip you,

00:11:52.040 --> 00:11:52.620
 but this is,

00:11:53.020 --> 00:11:55.200
 I sincerely wish that we would all take advantage

00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:56.580
 of the privilege that prayer is,

00:11:56.800 --> 00:11:59.120
 seeing this pattern of blessing that follows it

00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:00.460
 in the Gospel of Luke.

00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:03.360
 And in verse 22,

00:12:03.659 --> 00:12:05.879
 it tells us that while Jesus was praying,

00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:09.779
 the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form,

00:12:09.860 --> 00:12:10.460
 like a dove,

00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:12.299
 and a voice came from heaven.

00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:14.220
 You are my beloved son,

00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:15.820
 with you I am well pleased.

00:12:16.340 --> 00:12:18.600
 The word bodily describes the form

00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:20.200
 in which the Spirit descended.

00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:21.560
 It had substance,

00:12:21.659 --> 00:12:22.899
 so it was visible to everybody.

00:12:23.340 --> 00:12:24.220
 And then the phrase,

00:12:24.379 --> 00:12:24.980
 like a dove,

00:12:25.100 --> 00:12:27.720
 describes the manner in which the Spirit descended.

00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:30.680
 So he did not descend as a dove.

00:12:30.940 --> 00:12:33.080
 It says that he descended like a dove.

00:12:33.180 --> 00:12:35.300
 It's describing the manner in which he came down.

00:12:35.820 --> 00:12:37.120
 And there are significant parallels

00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:38.080
 between this account

00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:40.180
 and the account of creation in Genesis 1.

00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:42.620
 First, in Genesis 1, verse 2,

00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:45.180
 it uses bird language like here.

00:12:45.340 --> 00:12:47.200
 It says that the Spirit of God

00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:50.300
 was hovering over the face of the waters.

00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:51.700
 And in that moment,

00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:53.899
 as the Spirit is hovering like a bird,

00:12:53.899 --> 00:12:56.639
 God speaks creation into this existence.

00:12:57.120 --> 00:12:59.319
 And so something that's similarity,

00:12:59.459 --> 00:13:00.699
 that parallel is suggesting

00:13:00.699 --> 00:13:02.600
 that something of cosmic significance

00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:04.740
 is brewing right now

00:13:04.740 --> 00:13:06.159
 in Jesus' baptism

00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:07.100
 and while he's praying

00:13:07.100 --> 00:13:08.819
 that the Spirit of God is hovering

00:13:08.819 --> 00:13:11.259
 and God the Father speaks.

00:13:11.899 --> 00:13:13.319
 This is a turning point, really,

00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:14.139
 in human history.

00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:16.500
 Because the Jews had reckoned,

00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:18.899
 starting around 435 B.C.,

00:13:18.899 --> 00:13:20.480
 after the death of Malachi,

00:13:20.699 --> 00:13:21.819
 Israel's last prophet,

00:13:21.820 --> 00:13:23.940
 that God had ceased speaking.

00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:27.800
 The Jews during this time of Jesus

00:13:27.800 --> 00:13:29.720
 believed that since that time,

00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:31.400
 God had only spoken to them

00:13:31.400 --> 00:13:32.940
 through faint whispers,

00:13:33.060 --> 00:13:33.640
 these echoes.

00:13:34.560 --> 00:13:36.040
 God never spoke to them directly.

00:13:36.140 --> 00:13:36.780
 Because of that,

00:13:37.040 --> 00:13:39.680
 even the so-called prophets

00:13:39.680 --> 00:13:40.640
 or the people who spoke,

00:13:40.800 --> 00:13:42.400
 those words were not considered

00:13:42.400 --> 00:13:43.400
 divinely authoritative

00:13:43.400 --> 00:13:44.640
 like the previous sayings

00:13:44.640 --> 00:13:45.920
 of the prophets.

00:13:48.520 --> 00:13:50.240
 But here, once again,

00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:52.200
 the voice of God

00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:54.000
 is heard directly.

00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:56.440
 Heaven at long last

00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:58.180
 breaks those hundreds of years

00:13:58.180 --> 00:13:58.759
 of silence.

00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:01.519
 And God the Father's announcement,

00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:02.919
 this dramatic speech,

00:14:03.019 --> 00:14:06.019
 concerns Jesus' sonship.

00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:06.680
 He says,

00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:08.399
 You are my beloved son.

00:14:08.460 --> 00:14:09.940
 With you, I am well pleased.

00:14:09.980 --> 00:14:11.419
 So here we see a glimpse,

00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:12.259
 an early glimpse,

00:14:12.340 --> 00:14:13.360
 of the triune God,

00:14:13.419 --> 00:14:13.799
 the Trinity.

00:14:14.139 --> 00:14:15.120
 The loving Father,

00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:16.519
 the beloved Son,

00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:17.879
 and then the Holy Spirit

00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:20.379
 who bestows and betokens God's love,

00:14:20.439 --> 00:14:21.659
 who's a token of God's love.

00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:23.159
 So this is an announcement

00:14:23.159 --> 00:14:24.840
 of Jesus' divinity.

00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:25.960
 He's the divine Son.

00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:27.460
 He is the Son of Man,

00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:28.199
 as we saw,

00:14:28.299 --> 00:14:29.960
 but He's also the Son of God.

00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:31.360
 And as such,

00:14:31.419 --> 00:14:32.620
 He stands here

00:14:32.620 --> 00:14:33.740
 as the Son of Man

00:14:33.740 --> 00:14:34.259
 and Son of God

00:14:34.259 --> 00:14:35.899
 who bridges heaven and earth

00:14:35.899 --> 00:14:37.460
 and connects God to man.

00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:38.939
 Where He stands,

00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:39.960
 where Jesus stands,

00:14:40.059 --> 00:14:40.919
 the heavens open.

00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:42.319
 Where He stands,

00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:43.679
 the Father speaks.

00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:45.099
 And where He stands,

00:14:45.199 --> 00:14:46.199
 the Spirit descends.

00:14:46.479 --> 00:14:47.899
 He is the one mediator

00:14:47.899 --> 00:14:49.459
 between God and men.

00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:50.399
 And He's the one

00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:51.419
 that establishes

00:14:51.419 --> 00:14:52.919
 that broken communication line

00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:54.219
 between God and men.

00:14:54.659 --> 00:14:55.059
 He's the one

00:14:55.059 --> 00:14:56.059
 who stands in the gap.

00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:57.479
 He's the Son of God

00:14:57.479 --> 00:14:58.479
 who represents

00:14:58.479 --> 00:15:00.519
 and restores humanity

00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:01.759
 to their rightful relationship

00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:02.239
 with God.

00:15:03.439 --> 00:15:05.299
 And this language of sonship

00:15:05.299 --> 00:15:06.459
 not only communicates

00:15:06.459 --> 00:15:07.439
 His divinity,

00:15:07.620 --> 00:15:08.679
 His divine sonship,

00:15:08.819 --> 00:15:09.959
 but also communicates

00:15:09.959 --> 00:15:10.799
 the fact that Jesus

00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:12.559
 is the Messianic King.

00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:13.939
 It communicates His role.

00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:15.899
 Because in the prophecy

00:15:15.899 --> 00:15:17.500
 of Psalm chapter 2

00:15:17.500 --> 00:15:18.619
 verses 7 to 8,

00:15:19.079 --> 00:15:19.479
 it said,

00:15:19.699 --> 00:15:20.519
 God said concerning

00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:21.419
 the Messianic King,

00:15:21.839 --> 00:15:22.979
 You are my Son.

00:15:23.439 --> 00:15:25.479
 Today I have begotten you.

00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:26.699
 Ask of me

00:15:26.699 --> 00:15:27.599
 and I will make

00:15:27.599 --> 00:15:28.839
 the nations your heritage

00:15:28.839 --> 00:15:30.259
 and the ends of the earth

00:15:30.259 --> 00:15:31.399
 your possession.

00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:34.439
 And also in the Messianic prophecy

00:15:34.439 --> 00:15:35.719
 of Isaiah 42.1,

00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:36.139
 God said,

00:15:36.219 --> 00:15:37.299
 Behold my servant

00:15:37.299 --> 00:15:38.479
 whom I uphold,

00:15:38.619 --> 00:15:39.319
 my chosen,

00:15:39.659 --> 00:15:41.299
 in whom my soul delights,

00:15:41.299 --> 00:15:43.699
 I put my spirit upon him.

00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:45.199
 He will bring forth justice

00:15:45.199 --> 00:15:47.019
 to the nations.

00:15:48.659 --> 00:15:50.139
 You can think about

00:15:50.139 --> 00:15:50.899
 what's happening here

00:15:50.899 --> 00:15:51.379
 this way.

00:15:51.479 --> 00:15:52.199
 So when you're applying

00:15:52.199 --> 00:15:53.839
 for a job somewhere,

00:15:54.179 --> 00:15:56.000
 it's kind of helpful

00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:57.159
 to have an endorsement

00:15:57.159 --> 00:15:57.839
 from the CEO

00:15:57.839 --> 00:15:58.459
 of the company.

00:15:59.919 --> 00:16:00.979
 And when you're,

00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:03.519
 so this is God's endorsement

00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:05.439
 of Jesus' ministry

00:16:05.439 --> 00:16:07.579
 as the Messianic King

00:16:07.579 --> 00:16:08.899
 who begins his ministry

00:16:08.899 --> 00:16:09.740
 here after this.

00:16:09.740 --> 00:16:11.379
 And because Luke writes

00:16:11.379 --> 00:16:12.379
 in his sequel,

00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:14.000
 the Acts of the Apostles

00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:14.779
 in chapter 10,

00:16:14.860 --> 00:16:15.879
 verse 37 to 38,

00:16:16.019 --> 00:16:17.259
 that the early Christians

00:16:17.259 --> 00:16:18.759
 saw this instance,

00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:19.680
 the Jesus' baptism

00:16:19.680 --> 00:16:20.460
 and the God the Father

00:16:20.460 --> 00:16:21.460
 speaking from heaven

00:16:21.460 --> 00:16:22.740
 to affirm his sonship,

00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:24.440
 that this was a significant event

00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:25.639
 that proved the identity

00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:27.840
 of Jesus to the watching eyes.

00:16:28.279 --> 00:16:29.860
 And they describe this event

00:16:29.860 --> 00:16:30.620
 as the time

00:16:30.620 --> 00:16:31.899
 when God anointed

00:16:31.899 --> 00:16:33.500
 Jesus of Nazareth

00:16:33.500 --> 00:16:34.940
 with the Holy Spirit

00:16:34.940 --> 00:16:35.659
 and with power.

00:16:35.659 --> 00:16:37.439
 Now, the language

00:16:37.439 --> 00:16:38.559
 of anointing

00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:40.600
 conveys the kingship

00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:42.120
 because in the old days,

00:16:42.319 --> 00:16:43.199
 kings were anointed

00:16:43.199 --> 00:16:44.319
 at their inauguration.

00:16:44.659 --> 00:16:45.779
 So this, in effect,

00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:47.819
 is Jesus' royal inauguration.

00:16:48.100 --> 00:16:48.879
 The king is coming

00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:49.600
 into his kingdom.

00:16:49.939 --> 00:16:50.779
 He's being anointed

00:16:50.779 --> 00:16:52.079
 by the Holy Spirit.

00:16:52.779 --> 00:16:54.120
 And this is not,

00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:55.199
 by that I don't mean

00:16:55.199 --> 00:16:56.179
 that Jesus is becoming

00:16:56.179 --> 00:16:57.100
 the Son of God here.

00:16:57.299 --> 00:16:58.980
 He is the eternal Son of God.

00:16:59.179 --> 00:17:00.699
 He was born the Messianic King

00:17:00.699 --> 00:17:01.899
 as Luke chapter 1 and 2

00:17:01.899 --> 00:17:02.519
 made clear.

00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:03.919
 But this is when

00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:06.000
 he is formally recognized,

00:17:06.180 --> 00:17:07.000
 legitimized,

00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:08.379
 and announced to the world

00:17:08.379 --> 00:17:09.500
 and presented to the world

00:17:09.500 --> 00:17:11.599
 as the Son of God on earth.

00:17:12.379 --> 00:17:15.440
 That's the announcement

00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:16.319
 of the Son of God.

00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:18.400
 And after the announcement

00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:19.079
 of the Son of God,

00:17:19.139 --> 00:17:20.079
 we see the ancestry

00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:20.940
 of the Son of God

00:17:20.940 --> 00:17:22.859
 in verses 23 to 38.

00:17:23.639 --> 00:17:23.960
 Nowadays,

00:17:24.259 --> 00:17:25.539
 genetic testing websites

00:17:25.539 --> 00:17:26.839
 like 23andMe

00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:28.160
 are getting very popular,

00:17:28.379 --> 00:17:28.599
 right?

00:17:28.859 --> 00:17:31.379
 With many family tree records

00:17:31.379 --> 00:17:32.339
 having been lost.

00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:33.740
 People are curious

00:17:33.740 --> 00:17:34.460
 to find out

00:17:34.460 --> 00:17:35.420
 where they come from

00:17:35.420 --> 00:17:36.779
 because our ancestry

00:17:36.779 --> 00:17:38.420
 reveals something

00:17:38.420 --> 00:17:39.180
 about ourselves,

00:17:39.299 --> 00:17:39.480
 right?

00:17:40.500 --> 00:17:41.500
 DNA tests.

00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:42.319
 Nowadays,

00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:43.440
 are fairly comprehensive.

00:17:43.859 --> 00:17:44.539
 They reveal

00:17:44.539 --> 00:17:46.099
 our congenital health risks,

00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:47.680
 carrier status for genes

00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:48.440
 that we could pass on

00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:49.079
 to our children,

00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:50.119
 as well as,

00:17:50.220 --> 00:17:50.579
 of course,

00:17:50.819 --> 00:17:51.819
 reveals our ethnicity

00:17:51.819 --> 00:17:54.059
 and who our relatives are.

00:17:54.879 --> 00:17:55.480
 And likewise,

00:17:55.639 --> 00:17:56.200
 Luke here,

00:17:56.420 --> 00:17:57.440
 for a similar purpose,

00:17:57.579 --> 00:17:58.799
 includes the ancestry

00:17:58.799 --> 00:17:59.440
 of Jesus.

00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:00.599
 He has to reveal

00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:02.079
 something about him,

00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:03.079
 to tell us

00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:04.279
 who he really is.

00:18:05.099 --> 00:18:06.559
 And verse 23 says

00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:07.240
 that Jesus,

00:18:07.500 --> 00:18:08.939
 when he began his ministry,

00:18:09.220 --> 00:18:11.119
 was about 30 years of age.

00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:13.980
 This is not a throwaway statement.

00:18:14.199 --> 00:18:15.139
 Luke doesn't provide

00:18:15.139 --> 00:18:16.419
 an exact age

00:18:16.419 --> 00:18:17.240
 at which Jesus began

00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:17.659
 his ministry,

00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:18.939
 but instead provides

00:18:18.939 --> 00:18:20.279
 an approximate number

00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:22.319
 and he rounds it to 30.

00:18:22.779 --> 00:18:24.039
 And this is intentional

00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:24.980
 because according to

00:18:24.980 --> 00:18:26.099
 Numbers chapter 4,

00:18:26.159 --> 00:18:26.720
 verse 3,

00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:28.319
 30 was the age

00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:29.579
 at which priests

00:18:29.579 --> 00:18:30.640
 were allowed

00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:31.779
 to enter into the priesthood.

00:18:32.299 --> 00:18:33.380
 According to Ezekiel

00:18:33.380 --> 00:18:33.940
 chapter 1,

00:18:33.980 --> 00:18:34.460
 verse 1,

00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:35.880
 30 was the age

00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:36.720
 when Ezekiel,

00:18:36.819 --> 00:18:37.319
 the prophet,

00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:38.079
 was called into

00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:39.079
 his prophetic ministry.

00:18:39.579 --> 00:18:40.200
 And according to

00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:41.660
 Genesis 41, 26,

00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:43.240
 and 2 Samuel chapter 5,

00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:43.779
 verse 4,

00:18:44.100 --> 00:18:45.700
 30 was also the age

00:18:45.700 --> 00:18:46.720
 at which Joseph

00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:48.120
 and David,

00:18:48.259 --> 00:18:48.839
 respectively,

00:18:49.339 --> 00:18:50.400
 began their reign

00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:51.100
 as rulers,

00:18:51.220 --> 00:18:51.740
 as kings.

00:18:51.740 --> 00:18:53.839
 So Luke is telling us

00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:54.180
 by this,

00:18:54.259 --> 00:18:55.099
 that Jesus began

00:18:55.099 --> 00:18:55.620
 his ministry

00:18:55.620 --> 00:18:57.400
 at about 30 years of age

00:18:57.400 --> 00:18:58.279
 to connect

00:18:58.279 --> 00:18:59.799
 Jesus' inauguration

00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:01.759
 with the three major offices

00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:03.339
 of the Old Testament era,

00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:04.140
 priest,

00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:04.920
 prophet,

00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:05.980
 and king.

00:19:06.339 --> 00:19:07.319
 Jesus is the one

00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:08.740
 who comprehensively

00:19:08.740 --> 00:19:09.720
 encompasses

00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:11.640
 and ultimately fulfills

00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:13.220
 all the priestly,

00:19:13.660 --> 00:19:14.059
 prophetic,

00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:15.380
 and kingly offices

00:19:15.380 --> 00:19:16.279
 among God's people.

00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:17.140
 He's the one

00:19:17.140 --> 00:19:18.059
 who fulfills it all.

00:19:18.140 --> 00:19:18.759
 He's the one

00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:20.480
 whom we have been

00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:21.140
 waiting for.

00:19:21.140 --> 00:19:22.680
 And at 30 years of age,

00:19:22.700 --> 00:19:23.880
 he enters his service.

00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:25.640
 And Jesus was,

00:19:25.740 --> 00:19:26.320
 according to

00:19:26.320 --> 00:19:27.660
 the rest of verse 23,

00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:28.759
 the son,

00:19:29.860 --> 00:19:30.600
 as was supposed,

00:19:30.860 --> 00:19:31.400
 of Joseph.

00:19:32.300 --> 00:19:33.620
 The parenthetical remark,

00:19:33.740 --> 00:19:34.400
 as was supposed,

00:19:34.500 --> 00:19:35.300
 is an acknowledgement

00:19:35.300 --> 00:19:36.420
 of the virgin birth

00:19:36.420 --> 00:19:36.820
 of Jesus.

00:19:37.600 --> 00:19:38.680
 Jesus was legally

00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:39.800
 reckoned the son

00:19:39.800 --> 00:19:40.259
 of Joseph,

00:19:40.259 --> 00:19:41.500
 but he was not actually

00:19:41.500 --> 00:19:42.780
 the biological child

00:19:42.780 --> 00:19:43.240
 of Joseph

00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:44.540
 because he was born

00:19:44.540 --> 00:19:45.440
 of the virgin Mary.

00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:46.440
 And the point

00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:47.220
 was made

00:19:47.220 --> 00:19:48.940
 very sharply

00:19:48.940 --> 00:19:50.060
 earlier in chapter 2,

00:19:50.120 --> 00:19:51.060
 verse 48, 49,

00:19:51.140 --> 00:19:52.560
 when Mary asked

00:19:52.560 --> 00:19:52.980
 Jesus,

00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:53.600
 Son,

00:19:54.100 --> 00:19:54.880
 why have you

00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:55.780
 treated us so?

00:19:55.900 --> 00:19:56.259
 Behold,

00:19:56.340 --> 00:19:57.420
 your father and I

00:19:57.420 --> 00:19:58.300
 have been searching

00:19:58.300 --> 00:19:58.800
 for you

00:19:58.800 --> 00:20:00.060
 in great distress.

00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:01.259
 But then Jesus

00:20:01.259 --> 00:20:01.940
 responded

00:20:01.940 --> 00:20:03.040
 by saying

00:20:03.040 --> 00:20:03.680
 to them,

00:20:04.620 --> 00:20:05.480
 Why were you

00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:06.060
 looking for me?

00:20:06.800 --> 00:20:07.660
 Did you not know

00:20:07.660 --> 00:20:08.460
 that I must be

00:20:08.460 --> 00:20:10.740
 in my father's house?

00:20:11.580 --> 00:20:13.000
 Jesus explicitly

00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:13.720
 claimed

00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:14.520
 his divine

00:20:14.520 --> 00:20:15.200
 sonship

00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:16.180
 over and above

00:20:16.180 --> 00:20:17.020
 his sonship

00:20:17.020 --> 00:20:17.660
 to Joseph

00:20:17.660 --> 00:20:18.660
 and Mary?

00:20:19.340 --> 00:20:19.620
 And then

00:20:19.620 --> 00:20:20.440
 from here

00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:21.400
 through verse 38,

00:20:21.600 --> 00:20:22.300
 we see this,

00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:23.180
 he's trying

00:20:23.180 --> 00:20:23.460
 to ask

00:20:23.460 --> 00:20:24.519
 his ancestry

00:20:24.519 --> 00:20:25.620
 as the son

00:20:25.620 --> 00:20:26.000
 of God.

00:20:27.220 --> 00:20:27.660
 Now,

00:20:27.900 --> 00:20:28.200
 it's,

00:20:28.540 --> 00:20:29.180
 at this point,

00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:31.380
 I should address this

00:20:31.380 --> 00:20:32.000
 because you might

00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:32.900
 be aware of it already

00:20:32.900 --> 00:20:33.620
 or it will come up

00:20:33.620 --> 00:20:34.140
 as you're reading

00:20:34.140 --> 00:20:35.100
 the scriptures

00:20:35.100 --> 00:20:36.360
 because the gospel

00:20:36.360 --> 00:20:36.880
 of Matthew

00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:37.920
 also provides

00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:38.600
 a genealogy

00:20:38.600 --> 00:20:39.120
 of Jesus,

00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:40.980
 but the two lists

00:20:40.980 --> 00:20:41.800
 are actually

00:20:41.800 --> 00:20:42.800
 quite different.

00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:44.279
 For example,

00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:45.319
 Matthew lists

00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:46.919
 41 male heads

00:20:46.919 --> 00:20:47.379
 of families

00:20:47.379 --> 00:20:48.680
 while Luke

00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:49.899
 lists 57.

00:20:50.859 --> 00:20:51.819
 From David

00:20:51.819 --> 00:20:52.359
 to Jesus,

00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:52.799
 there are,

00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:53.259
 in fact,

00:20:53.500 --> 00:20:54.279
 only two

00:20:54.279 --> 00:20:55.379
 overlapping names.

00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:57.159
 And the discrepancy

00:20:57.159 --> 00:20:58.159
 begins immediately

00:20:58.159 --> 00:20:59.319
 with Joseph's father

00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:00.339
 because Luke

00:21:00.339 --> 00:21:01.359
 chapter 23,

00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:02.819
 verse 23

00:21:02.819 --> 00:21:03.359
 says that

00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:03.700
 Joseph

00:21:03.700 --> 00:21:05.519
 is the son

00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:06.500
 of Heli,

00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:08.779
 but Matthew

00:21:08.779 --> 00:21:09.440
 chapter 1,

00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:09.879
 16

00:21:09.879 --> 00:21:10.759
 says that

00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:11.539
 Joseph's father

00:21:11.539 --> 00:21:11.759
 was,

00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:12.160
 in fact,

00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:12.920
 a man named

00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:13.359
 Jacob.

00:21:15.140 --> 00:21:16.460
 This sets off

00:21:16.460 --> 00:21:17.259
 two kind of

00:21:17.259 --> 00:21:18.500
 deviations

00:21:18.500 --> 00:21:19.539
 that don't converge

00:21:19.539 --> 00:21:20.359
 again until

00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:21.539
 King David.

00:21:22.579 --> 00:21:23.180
 And in order to

00:21:23.180 --> 00:21:23.839
 understand this

00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:24.640
 discrepancy,

00:21:24.980 --> 00:21:25.740
 we need to address

00:21:25.740 --> 00:21:26.339
 a few things

00:21:26.339 --> 00:21:26.940
 about ancient

00:21:26.940 --> 00:21:28.160
 Jewish genealogies

00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:28.740
 in general.

00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:29.680
 First,

00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:30.879
 the word father

00:21:30.879 --> 00:21:32.660
 can be used

00:21:32.660 --> 00:21:33.720
 narrowly to refer

00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:34.539
 to one's immediate

00:21:34.539 --> 00:21:35.559
 biological father,

00:21:35.879 --> 00:21:36.879
 or it could refer

00:21:36.879 --> 00:21:37.519
 more broadly,

00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:38.500
 as we do in English,

00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:39.720
 to one's ancestor.

00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:41.160
 And likewise,

00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:42.060
 the word son

00:21:42.060 --> 00:21:42.960
 can narrowly refer

00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:43.759
 to one's immediate

00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:44.779
 biological child,

00:21:44.980 --> 00:21:45.620
 but it can also

00:21:45.620 --> 00:21:46.460
 refer more broadly

00:21:46.460 --> 00:21:47.779
 to one's descendant.

00:21:47.900 --> 00:21:48.360
 It's the same

00:21:48.360 --> 00:21:49.080
 in English

00:21:49.080 --> 00:21:50.480
 as in Hebrew

00:21:50.480 --> 00:21:50.880
 and Greek,

00:21:51.580 --> 00:21:52.259
 which is why

00:21:52.259 --> 00:21:53.220
 Matthew can say

00:21:53.220 --> 00:21:53.779
 in chapter 1

00:21:53.779 --> 00:21:54.180
 that Jesus

00:21:54.180 --> 00:21:55.480
 is the son of David.

00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:56.140
 David is not

00:21:56.140 --> 00:21:56.940
 his immediate father.

00:21:57.540 --> 00:21:58.860
 David is his ancestor.

00:21:59.660 --> 00:22:00.640
 So that's the first point.

00:22:00.940 --> 00:22:01.860
 Second is that

00:22:01.860 --> 00:22:02.480
 genealogies

00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:03.920
 are not always exhaustive.

00:22:04.340 --> 00:22:04.759
 In fact,

00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:06.360
 they are often selective.

00:22:07.080 --> 00:22:07.560
 For example,

00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:09.359
 Matthew explicitly says

00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:10.919
 in Matthew chapter 1,

00:22:11.019 --> 00:22:11.859
 verse 17,

00:22:12.579 --> 00:22:13.899
 so all the generations

00:22:13.899 --> 00:22:15.480
 from Abraham to David

00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:17.059
 were 14 generations,

00:22:17.419 --> 00:22:18.200
 and from David

00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:19.259
 to the deportation

00:22:19.259 --> 00:22:19.940
 to Babylon,

00:22:20.220 --> 00:22:21.259
 14 generations,

00:22:21.679 --> 00:22:22.799
 and from the deportation

00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:23.359
 to Babylon

00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:24.379
 to the Christ,

00:22:24.859 --> 00:22:26.359
 14 generations.

00:22:27.460 --> 00:22:27.759
 I don't know

00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:28.200
 if you're following

00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:28.679
 the pattern,

00:22:28.779 --> 00:22:29.599
 but there's obviously

00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:31.419
 an organizational scheme there.

00:22:31.740 --> 00:22:32.619
 He's not just listing

00:22:32.619 --> 00:22:33.259
 all the names.

00:22:33.259 --> 00:22:34.180
 He's intentionally

00:22:34.180 --> 00:22:35.379
 giving 14 names

00:22:35.379 --> 00:22:38.119
 from each major eras

00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:39.720
 of Jewish history,

00:22:39.819 --> 00:22:41.039
 of Israel's history.

00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:42.240
 And I think

00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:43.200
 the organizational scheme

00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:45.359
 comes from Gematria.

00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:47.119
 Gematria is a method

00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:47.879
 by which Jews

00:22:47.879 --> 00:22:49.819
 assigned a numerical value

00:22:49.819 --> 00:22:51.579
 to each Hebrew letter

00:22:51.579 --> 00:22:53.019
 so that someone's name

00:22:53.019 --> 00:22:54.339
 can be added up

00:22:54.339 --> 00:22:56.680
 and given a number value.

00:22:57.200 --> 00:22:58.619
 So according to this method,

00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:00.119
 the name David

00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:02.019
 has the numerical value

00:23:02.019 --> 00:23:02.759
 of 14.

00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:04.259
 Which is likely

00:23:04.259 --> 00:23:05.319
 why Matthew lists

00:23:05.319 --> 00:23:06.980
 three sets of 14s

00:23:06.980 --> 00:23:08.240
 to prove that Jesus

00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:09.079
 is indeed

00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:10.240
 the son of David

00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:11.460
 as Matthew begins

00:23:11.460 --> 00:23:12.500
 his book with

00:23:12.500 --> 00:23:13.339
 in chapter 1,

00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:13.879
 verse 1.

00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:15.779
 The book of the genealogy

00:23:15.779 --> 00:23:17.059
 of Jesus Christ,

00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:18.740
 the son of David.

00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:20.019
 So in other words,

00:23:20.059 --> 00:23:20.660
 there's a scheme.

00:23:21.019 --> 00:23:21.960
 These genealogies

00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:23.200
 don't list all the names.

00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:24.819
 They leave some names out.

00:23:24.900 --> 00:23:25.420
 They're selected.

00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:26.519
 That's the second point.

00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:27.519
 The third point,

00:23:27.660 --> 00:23:28.440
 which is crucial

00:23:28.440 --> 00:23:29.319
 for understanding this,

00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:30.379
 is that Jews

00:23:30.379 --> 00:23:31.400
 practice

00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:33.060
 levirate marriage

00:23:33.060 --> 00:23:33.880
 as stipulated

00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:35.160
 in Deuteronomy 25.

00:23:36.080 --> 00:23:37.560
 This meant that

00:23:37.560 --> 00:23:38.540
 when a man

00:23:38.540 --> 00:23:39.640
 who is married,

00:23:40.080 --> 00:23:41.040
 if he dies

00:23:41.040 --> 00:23:42.600
 without a son

00:23:42.600 --> 00:23:43.700
 to carry on his name,

00:23:44.280 --> 00:23:44.900
 it was his brother's

00:23:44.900 --> 00:23:46.800
 duty to produce

00:23:46.800 --> 00:23:48.259
 a son for him

00:23:48.259 --> 00:23:50.060
 by taking his brother's

00:23:50.060 --> 00:23:51.259
 surviving wife,

00:23:51.340 --> 00:23:51.640
 the widow,

00:23:51.840 --> 00:23:52.640
 as his own wife.

00:23:53.380 --> 00:23:54.100
 Now this was,

00:23:54.360 --> 00:23:55.360
 this seems strange

00:23:55.360 --> 00:23:56.019
 and foreign to us,

00:23:56.019 --> 00:23:56.500
 but this was

00:23:56.500 --> 00:23:57.639
 an important custom

00:23:57.639 --> 00:23:59.180
 in Israel

00:23:59.180 --> 00:24:00.200
 because the Jews'

00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:01.079
 inheritance

00:24:01.079 --> 00:24:03.079
 in God's promised land

00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:04.519
 was directly tied

00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:05.519
 to their ancestry,

00:24:05.660 --> 00:24:06.220
 the tribe that they

00:24:06.220 --> 00:24:06.799
 belonged to,

00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:07.879
 the family that they

00:24:07.879 --> 00:24:08.639
 belonged to.

00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:09.920
 So if they had no son,

00:24:10.420 --> 00:24:11.980
 if the man had no son

00:24:11.980 --> 00:24:12.539
 to his name,

00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:13.420
 it would mean that

00:24:13.420 --> 00:24:14.079
 his family

00:24:14.079 --> 00:24:15.539
 and all of his

00:24:15.539 --> 00:24:15.920
 progeny

00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:16.639
 would be permanently

00:24:16.639 --> 00:24:17.299
 blotted out

00:24:17.299 --> 00:24:18.359
 from the record

00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:19.559
 of the nation of Israel

00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:20.559
 and God's

00:24:20.559 --> 00:24:21.400
 intended promises.

00:24:22.080 --> 00:24:22.480
 So this,

00:24:22.660 --> 00:24:24.120
 so this is why

00:24:24.120 --> 00:24:24.700
 the Levirate marriage

00:24:24.700 --> 00:24:25.160
 was important,

00:24:25.259 --> 00:24:26.259
 but this can obviously,

00:24:26.460 --> 00:24:27.160
 you can figure out,

00:24:27.320 --> 00:24:29.080
 complicate some genealogies

00:24:29.080 --> 00:24:30.240
 because if,

00:24:30.380 --> 00:24:32.400
 if a son of a Levirate marriage

00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:33.180
 would,

00:24:33.360 --> 00:24:34.560
 because son of a Levirate marriage

00:24:34.560 --> 00:24:35.259
 would be considered

00:24:35.259 --> 00:24:36.660
 legally the son

00:24:36.660 --> 00:24:37.940
 of the deceased man,

00:24:38.060 --> 00:24:38.800
 the dead man,

00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:40.060
 but physically

00:24:40.060 --> 00:24:40.900
 he would be

00:24:40.900 --> 00:24:42.080
 the son of his brother.

00:24:42.500 --> 00:24:43.040
 You guys see that?

00:24:44.580 --> 00:24:45.140
 Now why,

00:24:45.220 --> 00:24:45.700
 why are,

00:24:45.820 --> 00:24:46.500
 why is this important?

00:24:46.580 --> 00:24:46.980
 So all these,

00:24:47.060 --> 00:24:48.120
 with all these factors in mind,

00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:48.720
 we can make sense

00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:49.500
 of the discrepancy

00:24:49.500 --> 00:24:51.080
 between Matthew and Luke.

00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:51.759
 Uh,

00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:53.160
 several plausible explanations

00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:53.860
 have been proposed

00:24:53.860 --> 00:24:54.680
 throughout church history.

00:24:55.180 --> 00:24:55.280
 I,

00:24:55.480 --> 00:24:56.680
 the one that I like best

00:24:56.680 --> 00:24:57.519
 that I think is the best

00:24:57.519 --> 00:24:58.360
 explanation for it

00:24:58.360 --> 00:24:59.180
 is that Matthew

00:24:59.180 --> 00:24:59.860
 is providing

00:24:59.860 --> 00:25:01.340
 the royal genealogy.

00:25:01.660 --> 00:25:03.160
 So the line of people

00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:04.000
 who would have been

00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:05.180
 the legal heirs

00:25:05.180 --> 00:25:06.860
 to the Davidic throne.

00:25:07.300 --> 00:25:08.460
 And while Luke

00:25:08.460 --> 00:25:09.040
 is providing

00:25:09.040 --> 00:25:10.680
 the physical genealogy,

00:25:10.980 --> 00:25:11.920
 the line of people

00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:13.040
 from whom Joseph

00:25:13.040 --> 00:25:14.720
 was physically descended.

00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:16.280
 So then even though

00:25:16.280 --> 00:25:18.040
 Jacob was the legal

00:25:18.040 --> 00:25:19.860
 heir of David,

00:25:20.420 --> 00:25:20.660
 uh,

00:25:20.660 --> 00:25:21.620
 because he died

00:25:21.620 --> 00:25:22.540
 without a son,

00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:23.600
 his relative,

00:25:23.940 --> 00:25:24.660
 perhaps a brother

00:25:24.660 --> 00:25:25.300
 or a half-brother,

00:25:25.460 --> 00:25:25.940
 Heli,

00:25:26.080 --> 00:25:27.019
 had a son

00:25:27.019 --> 00:25:28.160
 in his name

00:25:28.160 --> 00:25:29.279
 through Levit marriage

00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:30.759
 to Jacob's widow.

00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:31.840
 That was Joseph.

00:25:32.380 --> 00:25:32.880
 Which is why

00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:33.660
 Matthew and Luke

00:25:33.660 --> 00:25:34.540
 would be both correct

00:25:34.540 --> 00:25:35.240
 in saying that

00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:35.820
 either Jacob

00:25:35.820 --> 00:25:36.700
 was the father of Joseph

00:25:36.700 --> 00:25:37.460
 or Heli

00:25:37.460 --> 00:25:38.720
 was the father of Joseph.

00:25:39.480 --> 00:25:39.700
 Um,

00:25:40.019 --> 00:25:40.900
 this would explain

00:25:40.900 --> 00:25:41.800
 why Matthew's

00:25:41.800 --> 00:25:43.019
 and Luke's genealogies,

00:25:43.019 --> 00:25:43.420
 uh,

00:25:43.600 --> 00:25:43.980
 uh,

00:25:44.080 --> 00:25:44.800
 are identical.

00:25:44.940 --> 00:25:45.480
 They converge

00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:46.240
 and are identical

00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:47.640
 starting David and up.

00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:48.880
 I think it's because

00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:49.740
 Matthew is concerned

00:25:49.740 --> 00:25:50.220
 with preserving

00:25:50.220 --> 00:25:51.300
 the royal genealogy,

00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:52.180
 so after David

00:25:52.180 --> 00:25:53.420
 it becomes all messed up.

00:25:53.740 --> 00:25:54.460
 It would be different

00:25:54.460 --> 00:25:55.620
 from Luke and Luke and Mark,

00:25:55.660 --> 00:25:56.720
 but it's exactly the same

00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:57.880
 from David and onward.

00:25:58.520 --> 00:25:58.740
 Uh,

00:25:58.740 --> 00:25:59.860
 and this would also explain

00:25:59.860 --> 00:26:00.280
 why,

00:26:00.560 --> 00:26:01.460
 if you look at Matthew's

00:26:01.460 --> 00:26:02.040
 genealogy,

00:26:02.320 --> 00:26:04.220
 he includes all the kings

00:26:04.220 --> 00:26:04.940
 from Judah,

00:26:05.040 --> 00:26:06.400
 from David to Jequaniah,

00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:08.100
 but Luke's genealogy

00:26:08.100 --> 00:26:09.900
 contains no king of Judah

00:26:09.900 --> 00:26:11.740
 except King David,

00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:12.160
 right?

00:26:12.220 --> 00:26:13.100
 So I think this is

00:26:13.100 --> 00:26:13.880
 a good explanation

00:26:13.880 --> 00:26:14.280
 of the,

00:26:14.280 --> 00:26:15.420
 the deviation.

00:26:15.420 --> 00:26:16.640
 So,

00:26:16.800 --> 00:26:17.420
 notwithstanding

00:26:17.420 --> 00:26:18.440
 this discrepancy,

00:26:18.539 --> 00:26:19.300
 the point that they're

00:26:19.300 --> 00:26:20.360
 making is the same

00:26:20.360 --> 00:26:21.680
 and it's consistent

00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:22.519
 in Matthew and Luke

00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:23.180
 that regardless

00:26:23.180 --> 00:26:24.340
 of which method

00:26:24.340 --> 00:26:25.320
 you use to trace

00:26:25.320 --> 00:26:25.920
 their line,

00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:27.360
 Jesus' line goes

00:26:27.360 --> 00:26:28.460
 back to King David.

00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:30.080
 The point is that

00:26:30.080 --> 00:26:31.220
 Jesus is the rightful

00:26:31.220 --> 00:26:32.900
 heir to David's throne.

00:26:33.660 --> 00:26:34.700
 And not only to David,

00:26:34.900 --> 00:26:36.019
 from David to Abraham

00:26:36.019 --> 00:26:37.080
 there's perfect agreement

00:26:37.080 --> 00:26:37.519
 as well.

00:26:38.019 --> 00:26:39.420
 So Jesus is not only

00:26:39.420 --> 00:26:40.200
 the son of David,

00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:41.640
 he's also of the

00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:42.420
 seed of Abraham,

00:26:42.600 --> 00:26:43.360
 he's the fulfillment

00:26:43.360 --> 00:26:44.120
 of the promise

00:26:44.120 --> 00:26:44.860
 that God had given

00:26:44.859 --> 00:26:45.439
 to Abraham

00:26:45.439 --> 00:26:46.139
 to the nation

00:26:46.139 --> 00:26:46.939
 of Israel.

00:26:48.379 --> 00:26:49.859
 And Abraham is,

00:26:50.039 --> 00:26:51.139
 so Abraham is as far

00:26:51.139 --> 00:26:52.699
 back as Matthew goes

00:26:52.699 --> 00:26:54.079
 in his genealogy,

00:26:54.159 --> 00:26:55.359
 but from verses 34

00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:55.859
 to 38,

00:26:55.979 --> 00:26:56.819
 Luke goes back

00:26:56.819 --> 00:26:57.740
 even further.

00:26:58.159 --> 00:26:58.799
 So look at

00:26:58.799 --> 00:27:00.059
 verses 34 to 38

00:27:00.059 --> 00:27:00.479
 with me.

00:27:00.959 --> 00:27:01.259
 So he,

00:27:01.500 --> 00:27:02.240
 going back to

00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:02.719
 the genealogy

00:27:02.719 --> 00:27:03.679
 provided in Genesis

00:27:03.679 --> 00:27:04.479
 chapter 11

00:27:04.479 --> 00:27:06.000
 and 5,

00:27:06.139 --> 00:27:07.119
 Luke goes all

00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:07.699
 the way back,

00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:08.879
 it says in verse 38,

00:27:09.639 --> 00:27:10.740
 the son of Seth,

00:27:11.439 --> 00:27:12.759
 the son of Adam,

00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:15.359
 the son of God.

00:27:16.579 --> 00:27:18.440
 By going all the way

00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:19.460
 back to Adam,

00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:20.539
 who was created

00:27:20.539 --> 00:27:22.079
 directly by God

00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:23.480
 and therefore called

00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:24.559
 the son of God,

00:27:24.879 --> 00:27:25.400
 Luke is showing

00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:26.079
 that Jesus,

00:27:26.579 --> 00:27:27.700
 the true son of God,

00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:29.640
 identified with

00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:31.180
 all of humanity.

00:27:31.740 --> 00:27:32.079
 He,

00:27:32.319 --> 00:27:32.980
 like us,

00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:34.180
 is of the seed

00:27:34.180 --> 00:27:35.079
 of Adam.

00:27:35.420 --> 00:27:36.500
 The son of God

00:27:36.500 --> 00:27:37.819
 took on human flesh

00:27:37.819 --> 00:27:38.460
 and became

00:27:38.460 --> 00:27:39.640
 one of us.

00:27:39.640 --> 00:27:40.560
 He is in fact

00:27:40.560 --> 00:27:41.480
 the new

00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:42.540
 and better

00:27:42.540 --> 00:27:43.540
 Adam.

00:27:44.560 --> 00:27:45.460
 God created

00:27:45.460 --> 00:27:46.780
 Adam in his image

00:27:46.780 --> 00:27:47.620
 to rule

00:27:47.620 --> 00:27:48.720
 over the earth

00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:50.020
 as his representative,

00:27:50.360 --> 00:27:51.080
 God's representative.

00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:51.840
 But instead,

00:27:52.259 --> 00:27:52.980
 Adam rebelled

00:27:52.980 --> 00:27:53.759
 against God

00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:54.580
 and sought to

00:27:54.580 --> 00:27:55.400
 rule for himself,

00:27:55.840 --> 00:27:56.400
 sought to do

00:27:56.400 --> 00:27:57.100
 his own will.

00:27:57.660 --> 00:27:58.860
 And because Adam

00:27:58.860 --> 00:27:59.940
 was the fountainhead

00:27:59.940 --> 00:28:00.580
 of humanity,

00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:01.759
 the first human,

00:28:02.140 --> 00:28:03.080
 he represented

00:28:03.080 --> 00:28:03.980
 all of us

00:28:03.980 --> 00:28:05.200
 in God's creative design.

00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:06.620
 So when he said

00:28:06.620 --> 00:28:07.259
 he failed

00:28:07.259 --> 00:28:08.340
 every single

00:28:08.340 --> 00:28:09.100
 one of us

00:28:09.099 --> 00:28:10.019
 so that everyone

00:28:10.019 --> 00:28:10.819
 after him,

00:28:10.939 --> 00:28:11.859
 that's all of us,

00:28:11.939 --> 00:28:13.539
 is born into sin.

00:28:14.859 --> 00:28:16.240
 But Jesus comes

00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:16.919
 as the new

00:28:16.919 --> 00:28:17.959
 and better Adam,

00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:18.819
 the son of God,

00:28:18.879 --> 00:28:19.699
 who represents

00:28:19.699 --> 00:28:21.079
 and restores humanity

00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:21.740
 to their rightful

00:28:21.740 --> 00:28:22.579
 relationship with God.

00:28:22.919 --> 00:28:24.159
 Look at Romans 5,

00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:25.000
 12 to 29.

00:28:25.199 --> 00:28:26.099
 He puts it this way.

00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:27.439
 Therefore,

00:28:27.939 --> 00:28:29.099
 just as sin

00:28:29.099 --> 00:28:30.179
 came into the world

00:28:30.179 --> 00:28:31.619
 through one man,

00:28:31.899 --> 00:28:32.199
 Adam,

00:28:33.199 --> 00:28:34.279
 and death

00:28:34.279 --> 00:28:35.159
 through sin,

00:28:35.879 --> 00:28:36.559
 much more

00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:37.099
 will those

00:28:37.099 --> 00:28:37.740
 who receive

00:28:37.740 --> 00:28:38.400
 the abundance

00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:39.140
 of grace

00:28:39.140 --> 00:28:39.960
 and the free gift

00:28:39.960 --> 00:28:40.660
 of righteousness

00:28:40.660 --> 00:28:42.099
 reign in life

00:28:42.099 --> 00:28:43.299
 through the one man,

00:28:43.620 --> 00:28:44.460
 Jesus Christ.

00:28:44.980 --> 00:28:45.339
 Therefore,

00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:46.640
 as one trespass

00:28:46.640 --> 00:28:47.880
 led to condemnation

00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:48.660
 for all men,

00:28:48.660 --> 00:28:50.079
 so one act

00:28:50.079 --> 00:28:50.900
 of righteousness

00:28:50.900 --> 00:28:52.420
 leads to justification

00:28:52.420 --> 00:28:53.620
 and life

00:28:53.620 --> 00:28:54.779
 for all men.

00:28:55.579 --> 00:28:56.839
 For as by the one man's

00:28:56.839 --> 00:28:57.420
 disobedience

00:28:57.420 --> 00:28:58.339
 the many were made

00:28:58.339 --> 00:28:58.720
 sinners,

00:28:59.099 --> 00:29:00.380
 so by the one man's

00:29:00.380 --> 00:29:00.960
 obedience

00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:02.259
 the many will be

00:29:02.259 --> 00:29:03.559
 made righteous.

00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:06.059
 if you are

00:29:06.059 --> 00:29:06.960
 a human being,

00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:08.940
 which all of you are,

00:29:09.079 --> 00:29:09.259
 right,

00:29:10.899 --> 00:29:12.579
 then you are born

00:29:12.579 --> 00:29:13.759
 identifying

00:29:13.759 --> 00:29:14.759
 with Adam.

00:29:16.379 --> 00:29:17.679
 You were born

00:29:17.679 --> 00:29:18.279
 identifying

00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:19.000
 with his fall.

00:29:20.079 --> 00:29:20.740
 And as sinners,

00:29:20.879 --> 00:29:22.059
 we all deserve

00:29:22.059 --> 00:29:24.159
 God's judgment.

00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:26.819
 But God sent Jesus

00:29:26.819 --> 00:29:28.200
 as the new Adam.

00:29:28.339 --> 00:29:28.440
 See,

00:29:28.500 --> 00:29:30.000
 imagine failing

00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:31.039
 over and over again

00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:31.779
 for generation

00:29:31.779 --> 00:29:32.759
 after generation

00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:34.099
 after generation.

00:29:34.659 --> 00:29:35.659
 Every man

00:29:35.659 --> 00:29:36.879
 and every woman

00:29:36.879 --> 00:29:37.920
 had failed.

00:29:38.059 --> 00:29:38.960
 Here is God's plan

00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:39.700
 laid up for them

00:29:39.700 --> 00:29:41.059
 and every single one

00:29:41.059 --> 00:29:41.920
 of them had failed

00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:43.079
 and we were without

00:29:43.079 --> 00:29:44.099
 hope and lost.

00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:46.279
 No way of being

00:29:46.279 --> 00:29:46.839
 reconciled

00:29:46.839 --> 00:29:47.420
 and gotten restored

00:29:47.420 --> 00:29:48.099
 to right in relationship

00:29:48.099 --> 00:29:48.539
 with him.

00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:49.980
 But finally comes

00:29:49.980 --> 00:29:51.480
 that one man

00:29:51.480 --> 00:29:53.700
 who can restore us,

00:29:54.180 --> 00:29:55.420
 who can represent us,

00:29:55.659 --> 00:29:56.599
 who can fulfill

00:29:56.599 --> 00:29:57.559
 God's desire

00:29:57.559 --> 00:29:58.440
 and that's Jesus

00:29:58.440 --> 00:29:59.220
 the new Adam

00:29:59.220 --> 00:30:00.240
 and he succeeds

00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:01.140
 where Adam

00:30:01.140 --> 00:30:01.960
 had failed

00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:02.859
 by obeying

00:30:02.859 --> 00:30:03.500
 God the Father

00:30:03.500 --> 00:30:04.099
 perfectly

00:30:04.099 --> 00:30:04.620
 and dying

00:30:04.620 --> 00:30:05.240
 on the cross

00:30:05.240 --> 00:30:06.299
 for sinners.

00:30:07.140 --> 00:30:07.859
 So that all those

00:30:07.859 --> 00:30:08.559
 who renounce

00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:09.599
 themselves,

00:30:09.779 --> 00:30:10.819
 renounce their sins

00:30:10.819 --> 00:30:12.200
 and entrust themselves

00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:12.980
 to Jesus

00:30:12.980 --> 00:30:13.900
 may be forgiven

00:30:13.900 --> 00:30:14.700
 of their sins.

00:30:16.420 --> 00:30:17.319
 If you're here

00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:17.759
 this morning

00:30:17.759 --> 00:30:18.420
 and you have not

00:30:18.420 --> 00:30:19.500
 yet aligned yourself

00:30:19.500 --> 00:30:20.099
 with Jesus,

00:30:20.440 --> 00:30:20.960
 then Adam

00:30:20.960 --> 00:30:22.279
 is still your head

00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:23.559
 and your representative

00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:25.359
 and you will perish

00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:26.779
 as the object

00:30:26.779 --> 00:30:27.500
 of God's

00:30:27.500 --> 00:30:28.599
 righteous wrath.

00:30:28.599 --> 00:30:30.219
 but you can

00:30:30.219 --> 00:30:31.279
 align yourself

00:30:31.279 --> 00:30:31.859
 with Jesus

00:30:31.859 --> 00:30:32.659
 instead today

00:30:32.659 --> 00:30:33.740
 so that he

00:30:33.740 --> 00:30:34.619
 can be your head

00:30:34.619 --> 00:30:35.240
 and representative.

00:30:36.519 --> 00:30:37.079
 Then the penalty

00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:37.819
 of our sins

00:30:37.819 --> 00:30:39.539
 is laid on Jesus

00:30:39.539 --> 00:30:40.699
 which he paid

00:30:40.699 --> 00:30:41.379
 for on the cross

00:30:41.379 --> 00:30:42.559
 and his righteousness

00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:43.639
 and the rewards

00:30:43.639 --> 00:30:44.279
 that follow

00:30:44.279 --> 00:30:45.159
 are laid up

00:30:45.159 --> 00:30:46.000
 to us,

00:30:46.299 --> 00:30:47.159
 counted as ours.

00:30:48.419 --> 00:30:48.759
 That's why

00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:49.699
 1 Corinthians 15

00:30:49.699 --> 00:30:50.379
 22 says,

00:30:50.500 --> 00:30:51.339
 For in Adam

00:30:51.339 --> 00:30:52.519
 all die,

00:30:52.639 --> 00:30:53.919
 so also in Christ

00:30:53.919 --> 00:30:55.279
 all will be made

00:30:55.279 --> 00:30:56.039
 alive.

00:30:56.039 --> 00:30:58.500
 Are you in Adam

00:30:58.500 --> 00:30:58.940
 today

00:30:58.940 --> 00:30:59.759
 or are you

00:30:59.759 --> 00:31:00.299
 in Christ

00:31:00.299 --> 00:31:00.700
 today?

00:31:01.519 --> 00:31:02.019
 In Adam

00:31:02.019 --> 00:31:02.639
 is death

00:31:02.639 --> 00:31:03.599
 but in Christ

00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:04.319
 is life

00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:04.980
 everlasting.

00:31:05.619 --> 00:31:06.180
 So if you are

00:31:06.180 --> 00:31:07.259
 not a Christian

00:31:07.259 --> 00:31:07.579
 yet,

00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:08.599
 then this ancestry

00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:09.079
 of the Son

00:31:09.079 --> 00:31:09.440
 of God

00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:10.659
 is inviting you

00:31:10.659 --> 00:31:11.720
 to choose

00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:12.200
 Christ

00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:13.059
 and be restored

00:31:13.059 --> 00:31:13.539
 to a proper

00:31:13.539 --> 00:31:13.960
 relationship

00:31:13.960 --> 00:31:14.379
 with God.

00:31:15.879 --> 00:31:16.920
 So after telling

00:31:16.920 --> 00:31:17.539
 us about Jesus'

00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:18.180
 ancestry

00:31:18.180 --> 00:31:19.379
 in chapter 4

00:31:19.379 --> 00:31:20.559
 verses 1 to 13

00:31:20.559 --> 00:31:22.980
 Luke tells us

00:31:22.980 --> 00:31:24.019
 about the allegiance

00:31:24.019 --> 00:31:25.359
 of the Son

00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:25.740
 of God.

00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:27.639
 As the Son

00:31:27.639 --> 00:31:28.000
 of God,

00:31:28.099 --> 00:31:28.980
 Jesus displays

00:31:28.980 --> 00:31:30.059
 unyielding allegiance

00:31:30.059 --> 00:31:30.839
 to God the Father.

00:31:30.940 --> 00:31:32.000
 He says in

00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:33.279
 verses 1 to 2

00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:33.940
 of chapter 4,

00:31:34.019 --> 00:31:34.579
 read with me,

00:31:35.339 --> 00:31:35.659
 Jesus,

00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:37.059
 full of the Holy

00:31:37.059 --> 00:31:37.460
 Spirit,

00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:38.559
 returned from the

00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:39.259
 Jordan and was

00:31:39.259 --> 00:31:40.279
 led by the Spirit

00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:40.960
 in the wilderness

00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:41.859
 for 40 days,

00:31:42.220 --> 00:31:42.659
 being tempted

00:31:42.659 --> 00:31:43.460
 by the devil.

00:31:44.339 --> 00:31:44.940
 The devil

00:31:44.940 --> 00:31:46.559
 is a Greek

00:31:46.559 --> 00:31:47.279
 equivalent of

00:31:47.279 --> 00:31:47.779
 the Hebrew

00:31:47.779 --> 00:31:48.960
 word Satan

00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:50.960
 and it means

00:31:50.960 --> 00:31:51.740
 accuser

00:31:51.740 --> 00:31:52.899
 or slanderer.

00:31:53.399 --> 00:31:54.039
 It doesn't

00:31:54.039 --> 00:31:55.019
 merely refer to

00:31:55.019 --> 00:31:55.460
 demons

00:31:55.460 --> 00:31:56.160
 or evil

00:31:56.160 --> 00:31:56.720
 spirits

00:31:56.720 --> 00:31:57.299
 but to

00:31:57.299 --> 00:31:57.779
 Satan,

00:31:58.000 --> 00:31:58.440
 the head

00:31:58.440 --> 00:31:58.799
 honcho

00:31:58.799 --> 00:31:59.039
 of them

00:31:59.039 --> 00:31:59.279
 all.

00:31:59.819 --> 00:32:00.400
 But notice

00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:00.759
 the way

00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:02.160
 the sentence

00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:02.799
 is structured.

00:32:03.340 --> 00:32:03.700
 The devil

00:32:03.700 --> 00:32:04.240
 is not

00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:04.940
 the protagonist

00:32:04.940 --> 00:32:05.440
 of this

00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:05.920
 story.

00:32:06.460 --> 00:32:07.559
 Jesus is

00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:08.200
 and the Holy

00:32:08.200 --> 00:32:09.039
 Spirit is.

00:32:09.180 --> 00:32:09.819
 We're told

00:32:09.819 --> 00:32:10.440
 twice that

00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:10.940
 Jesus was

00:32:10.940 --> 00:32:11.779
 full of the

00:32:11.779 --> 00:32:12.319
 Holy Spirit

00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:13.019
 and he was

00:32:13.019 --> 00:32:14.140
 led by the

00:32:14.140 --> 00:32:14.920
 Holy Spirit

00:32:14.920 --> 00:32:16.279
 into being

00:32:16.279 --> 00:32:17.079
 tempted by the

00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:17.220
 devil.

00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:17.640
 It's the

00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:18.299
 Spirit's

00:32:18.299 --> 00:32:18.579
 fullness

00:32:18.579 --> 00:32:19.380
 and leading

00:32:19.380 --> 00:32:20.360
 that brings

00:32:20.360 --> 00:32:21.000
 Jesus to

00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:21.700
 40 days

00:32:21.700 --> 00:32:22.440
 to be tempted

00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:23.000
 by the

00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:23.279
 devil.

00:32:23.660 --> 00:32:24.059
 The devil

00:32:24.059 --> 00:32:24.580
 is simply

00:32:24.580 --> 00:32:25.380
 playing foil

00:32:25.380 --> 00:32:25.980
 to Jesus

00:32:25.980 --> 00:32:27.220
 in order to

00:32:27.220 --> 00:32:28.059
 highlight Jesus'

00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:28.920
 faithful allegiance

00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:29.519
 to the Father

00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:30.360
 as the Son of God.

00:32:31.080 --> 00:32:31.920
 This is insightful

00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:32.600
 for us

00:32:32.600 --> 00:32:33.360
 and we can apply

00:32:33.360 --> 00:32:34.140
 this to our lives

00:32:34.140 --> 00:32:34.720
 because being

00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:35.660
 tempted to sin

00:32:35.660 --> 00:32:36.779
 is not the same

00:32:36.779 --> 00:32:37.840
 thing as sinning.

00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:40.680
 If Jesus can be

00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:40.920
 tempted,

00:32:41.080 --> 00:32:42.100
 so can all of us

00:32:42.100 --> 00:32:42.759
 and we will face

00:32:42.759 --> 00:32:43.559
 many temptations

00:32:43.559 --> 00:32:44.180
 in our lives.

00:32:44.660 --> 00:32:45.500
 But in the midst

00:32:45.500 --> 00:32:45.980
 of all of that,

00:32:46.039 --> 00:32:47.059
 this is also comforting

00:32:47.059 --> 00:32:48.599
 because we see

00:32:48.599 --> 00:32:49.299
 that even in

00:32:49.299 --> 00:32:50.139
 our temptations

00:32:50.139 --> 00:32:51.200
 and trials,

00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:51.740
 even in the

00:32:51.740 --> 00:32:52.899
 toughest moments,

00:32:54.000 --> 00:32:54.619
 even when it

00:32:54.619 --> 00:32:55.460
 seems like the

00:32:55.460 --> 00:32:56.579
 devil is calling

00:32:56.579 --> 00:32:57.379
 all the shots

00:32:57.379 --> 00:32:58.139
 in our lives,

00:32:58.859 --> 00:32:59.480
 in fact,

00:32:59.859 --> 00:33:00.919
 the Lord God

00:33:00.919 --> 00:33:01.619
 is in charge.

00:33:01.919 --> 00:33:03.000
 The Spirit of God

00:33:03.000 --> 00:33:03.740
 is leading

00:33:03.740 --> 00:33:05.220
 sovereignly.

00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:06.480
 And so,

00:33:06.579 --> 00:33:07.240
 if you feel

00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:08.240
 discouraged by the

00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:09.399
 trials and temptations

00:33:09.399 --> 00:33:10.359
 that you are facing

00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:11.960
 today in your life

00:33:11.960 --> 00:33:12.700
 and your situation

00:33:12.700 --> 00:33:13.099
 now,

00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:14.059
 you can know

00:33:14.059 --> 00:33:14.619
 from this

00:33:14.619 --> 00:33:15.119
 in Jesus'

00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:16.000
 example that

00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:16.919
 God is

00:33:16.920 --> 00:33:17.480
 in control,

00:33:17.740 --> 00:33:18.539
 that God

00:33:18.539 --> 00:33:19.140
 is the one

00:33:19.140 --> 00:33:19.800
 that's in charge.

00:33:19.960 --> 00:33:21.100
 He is at work

00:33:21.100 --> 00:33:22.140
 in and through

00:33:22.140 --> 00:33:22.940
 all of that.

00:33:24.700 --> 00:33:25.940
 As Charles Spurgeon

00:33:25.940 --> 00:33:26.400
 once said,

00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:27.120
 the refiner

00:33:27.120 --> 00:33:28.720
 is never very far

00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:29.440
 from the mouth

00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:30.140
 of the furnace

00:33:30.140 --> 00:33:31.180
 when his gold

00:33:31.180 --> 00:33:32.259
 is in the fire.

00:33:34.140 --> 00:33:34.980
 The word

00:33:34.980 --> 00:33:35.580
 to tempt

00:33:35.580 --> 00:33:36.920
 can also be

00:33:36.920 --> 00:33:37.779
 translated as

00:33:37.779 --> 00:33:38.500
 to test.

00:33:39.080 --> 00:33:39.500
 And depending

00:33:39.500 --> 00:33:40.200
 on the context,

00:33:40.300 --> 00:33:40.720
 it can mean

00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:41.900
 to tempt someone

00:33:41.900 --> 00:33:42.779
 in order to

00:33:42.779 --> 00:33:44.240
 make them fail

00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:45.759
 and discredit them.

00:33:45.980 --> 00:33:46.800
 Or it can mean

00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:48.019
 to test someone

00:33:48.019 --> 00:33:48.859
 to show

00:33:48.859 --> 00:33:49.879
 their true worth

00:33:49.879 --> 00:33:50.579
 and approve

00:33:50.579 --> 00:33:50.919
 them and

00:33:50.919 --> 00:33:51.680
 accredit them.

00:33:52.220 --> 00:33:52.539
 So,

00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:53.919
 it has both

00:33:53.919 --> 00:33:54.759
 nuances here

00:33:54.759 --> 00:33:55.500
 because while

00:33:55.500 --> 00:33:56.159
 it's the devil

00:33:56.159 --> 00:33:57.019
 that tempts

00:33:57.019 --> 00:33:57.899
 Jesus in order

00:33:57.899 --> 00:33:59.619
 to discredit him,

00:34:00.059 --> 00:34:00.980
 the Spirit of God

00:34:00.980 --> 00:34:02.180
 leads him into this

00:34:02.180 --> 00:34:03.359
 to test him

00:34:03.359 --> 00:34:03.899
 so that he can

00:34:03.899 --> 00:34:04.779
 accredit him,

00:34:05.019 --> 00:34:05.700
 approve him

00:34:05.700 --> 00:34:07.119
 in preparation

00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:07.960
 for the ministry

00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:08.400
 that he's about

00:34:08.400 --> 00:34:08.800
 to begin.

00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:10.559
 And this period

00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:11.019
 of testing

00:34:11.019 --> 00:34:12.219
 lasted 40 days

00:34:12.219 --> 00:34:12.599
 which,

00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:13.619
 like all the other

00:34:13.619 --> 00:34:14.239
 numbers that we've

00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:14.820
 seen so far,

00:34:14.820 --> 00:34:15.760
 is not a

00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:16.400
 throwaway number.

00:34:16.580 --> 00:34:17.480
 It has symbolic

00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:18.160
 significance

00:34:18.160 --> 00:34:19.100
 and is used

00:34:19.100 --> 00:34:19.800
 frequently throughout

00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:20.420
 the Old Testament.

00:34:20.780 --> 00:34:21.300
 But the most

00:34:21.300 --> 00:34:22.200
 important connection

00:34:22.200 --> 00:34:23.000
 to the Old Testament

00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:24.039
 is that Moses

00:34:24.039 --> 00:34:25.720
 fasted for 40 days

00:34:25.720 --> 00:34:27.140
 before receiving

00:34:27.140 --> 00:34:28.039
 the covenant

00:34:28.039 --> 00:34:29.580
 law from God

00:34:29.580 --> 00:34:30.280
 on behalf

00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:30.960
 of God's people.

00:34:31.880 --> 00:34:32.360
 And also,

00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:33.380
 Israel,

00:34:33.500 --> 00:34:33.980
 God's people,

00:34:34.160 --> 00:34:35.240
 wandered in the

00:34:35.240 --> 00:34:35.680
 wilderness

00:34:35.680 --> 00:34:37.260
 for 40 years.

00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:38.220
 So here,

00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:39.500
 Jesus' 40-day

00:34:39.500 --> 00:34:40.039
 journey into

00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:40.539
 the wilderness

00:34:40.539 --> 00:34:41.559
 parallels the

00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:42.260
 journey of Israel

00:34:42.260 --> 00:34:43.460
 for 40 years

00:34:43.460 --> 00:34:44.520
 in the wilderness.

00:34:45.140 --> 00:34:45.580
 And since

00:34:45.580 --> 00:34:46.200
 Jesus

00:34:46.200 --> 00:34:47.800
 uses

00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:49.640
 scripture,

00:34:50.540 --> 00:34:51.480
 citations

00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:52.320
 from Deuteronomy,

00:34:52.980 --> 00:34:54.320
 which tells

00:34:54.320 --> 00:34:54.880
 about Moses'

00:34:55.180 --> 00:34:55.700
 40 days of

00:34:55.700 --> 00:34:56.300
 fast as well

00:34:56.300 --> 00:34:56.800
 as Israel's

00:34:56.800 --> 00:34:57.120
 journey in

00:34:57.120 --> 00:34:57.480
 the wilderness,

00:34:58.000 --> 00:34:58.820
 Jesus is here

00:34:58.820 --> 00:34:59.460
 being portrayed

00:34:59.460 --> 00:35:00.080
 as the

00:35:00.080 --> 00:35:00.660
 representative,

00:35:01.300 --> 00:35:02.040
 as a new

00:35:02.040 --> 00:35:02.720
 Israel,

00:35:03.140 --> 00:35:03.600
 the people,

00:35:03.760 --> 00:35:04.100
 the God,

00:35:04.240 --> 00:35:05.100
 the Son of God

00:35:05.100 --> 00:35:05.940
 who represents,

00:35:06.100 --> 00:35:06.640
 because Israel

00:35:06.640 --> 00:35:07.340
 is described

00:35:07.340 --> 00:35:07.740
 in Exodus

00:35:07.740 --> 00:35:08.900
 as God's

00:35:08.900 --> 00:35:10.060
 firstborn son.

00:35:10.520 --> 00:35:11.080
 And so here,

00:35:11.079 --> 00:35:12.159
 Jesus is the

00:35:12.159 --> 00:35:12.980
 new firstborn,

00:35:13.059 --> 00:35:13.840
 the new son

00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:14.860
 who represents

00:35:14.860 --> 00:35:16.259
 God's people

00:35:16.259 --> 00:35:16.920
 and succeeds

00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:17.840
 where Israel

00:35:17.840 --> 00:35:18.380
 had failed.

00:35:19.259 --> 00:35:20.039
 Now let's look

00:35:20.039 --> 00:35:20.699
 at the specific

00:35:20.699 --> 00:35:21.400
 aspects of the

00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:22.159
 three temptations.

00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:23.679
 It says at

00:35:23.679 --> 00:35:24.460
 the end of

00:35:24.460 --> 00:35:25.119
 verse 2 that

00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:25.759
 Jesus ate

00:35:25.759 --> 00:35:26.519
 nothing during

00:35:26.519 --> 00:35:27.239
 those days,

00:35:27.380 --> 00:35:27.920
 and when they

00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:28.319
 were ended,

00:35:28.460 --> 00:35:29.199
 he was hungry.

00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:30.579
 This is an

00:35:30.579 --> 00:35:31.559
 extended fast,

00:35:31.719 --> 00:35:32.119
 and remember

00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:32.480
 that while

00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:33.259
 Jesus is fully

00:35:33.259 --> 00:35:33.559
 God,

00:35:33.619 --> 00:35:33.960
 he's also

00:35:33.960 --> 00:35:34.659
 fully man,

00:35:35.099 --> 00:35:35.819
 and naturally

00:35:35.819 --> 00:35:36.539
 he was hungry.

00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:38.099
 And it is

00:35:38.099 --> 00:35:38.619
 at this

00:35:38.619 --> 00:35:39.779
 vulnerable moment

00:35:39.779 --> 00:35:40.400
 that the devil

00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:41.280
 palaces on him,

00:35:41.380 --> 00:35:42.200
 and he speaks

00:35:42.200 --> 00:35:42.880
 for the first

00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:43.800
 time in verse 3.

00:35:44.720 --> 00:35:45.720
 If you are

00:35:45.720 --> 00:35:46.619
 the Son of God,

00:35:47.539 --> 00:35:48.360
 command this

00:35:48.360 --> 00:35:49.200
 stone to

00:35:49.200 --> 00:35:50.400
 become bread.

00:35:51.700 --> 00:35:52.460
 We saw

00:35:52.460 --> 00:35:53.079
 earlier at

00:35:53.079 --> 00:35:53.940
 Jesus' baptism

00:35:53.940 --> 00:35:54.860
 that God the

00:35:54.860 --> 00:35:55.720
 Father said

00:35:55.720 --> 00:35:56.360
 that Jesus

00:35:56.360 --> 00:35:56.900
 is his

00:35:56.900 --> 00:35:58.200
 beloved Son,

00:35:58.539 --> 00:35:59.099
 and then in

00:35:59.099 --> 00:35:59.980
 the genealogy,

00:36:00.300 --> 00:36:00.900
 we saw that

00:36:00.900 --> 00:36:01.940
 Jesus is the

00:36:01.940 --> 00:36:02.579
 Son of Adam,

00:36:02.700 --> 00:36:03.980
 the Son of God.

00:36:04.280 --> 00:36:05.059
 So once the

00:36:05.059 --> 00:36:05.660
 main theme

00:36:05.660 --> 00:36:06.360
 of this entire

00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:07.200
 section is that

00:36:07.200 --> 00:36:08.340
 Jesus is the

00:36:08.340 --> 00:36:09.460
 Son of God,

00:36:09.460 --> 00:36:10.220
 and that theme

00:36:10.220 --> 00:36:10.579
 is running

00:36:10.579 --> 00:36:11.119
 through these

00:36:11.119 --> 00:36:12.059
 temptation accounts

00:36:12.059 --> 00:36:12.480
 as well,

00:36:12.539 --> 00:36:13.159
 because the

00:36:13.159 --> 00:36:14.039
 devil's temptations

00:36:14.039 --> 00:36:15.039
 hinge upon that

00:36:15.039 --> 00:36:15.500
 truth,

00:36:15.619 --> 00:36:16.639
 because it begins,

00:36:16.940 --> 00:36:17.679
 if you are

00:36:17.679 --> 00:36:18.539
 the Son of God,

00:36:18.820 --> 00:36:19.440
 and he repeats

00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:19.980
 that again in

00:36:19.980 --> 00:36:20.480
 verse 9,

00:36:20.740 --> 00:36:21.400
 if you are

00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:22.199
 the Son of God,

00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:23.119
 throw yourself

00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:23.740
 down from here.

00:36:24.320 --> 00:36:25.300
 Now, by asking

00:36:25.300 --> 00:36:25.940
 if you are

00:36:25.940 --> 00:36:26.519
 the Son of God,

00:36:26.599 --> 00:36:27.519
 the devil is not

00:36:27.519 --> 00:36:29.059
 questioning Jesus'

00:36:29.300 --> 00:36:30.079
 identity as the

00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:30.579
 Son of God,

00:36:30.980 --> 00:36:31.460
 because the

00:36:31.460 --> 00:36:32.260
 grammatical

00:36:32.260 --> 00:36:32.740
 construction,

00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:33.320
 this is what

00:36:33.320 --> 00:36:34.099
 Greek grammarians

00:36:34.099 --> 00:36:35.039
 call the first

00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:35.860
 class condition,

00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:36.880
 which means it

00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:37.860
 assumes that the

00:36:37.860 --> 00:36:39.039
 condition is true,

00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:40.659
 if you are

00:36:40.659 --> 00:36:41.279
 the Son of God.

00:36:41.400 --> 00:36:42.340
 It's assumed

00:36:42.340 --> 00:36:42.920
 that that is

00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:43.239
 true.

00:36:43.340 --> 00:36:43.860
 He is the

00:36:43.860 --> 00:36:44.259
 Son of God.

00:36:44.340 --> 00:36:44.659
 So it could

00:36:44.659 --> 00:36:45.420
 really better be

00:36:45.420 --> 00:36:46.400
 translated as,

00:36:46.659 --> 00:36:47.679
 since you are

00:36:47.679 --> 00:36:48.400
 the Son of God,

00:36:48.880 --> 00:36:49.619
 since you are

00:36:49.619 --> 00:36:50.119
 the Son of God,

00:36:50.179 --> 00:36:50.579
 do this and

00:36:50.579 --> 00:36:50.699
 this.

00:36:50.739 --> 00:36:51.460
 So the devil is

00:36:51.460 --> 00:36:52.159
 certain that

00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:52.880
 Jesus is the

00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:53.440
 Son of God,

00:36:53.519 --> 00:36:54.139
 and the devil

00:36:54.139 --> 00:36:54.860
 knows that

00:36:54.860 --> 00:36:55.599
 Jesus knows

00:36:55.599 --> 00:36:56.039
 that he is

00:36:56.039 --> 00:36:56.619
 the Son of God.

00:36:56.800 --> 00:36:57.239
 He's not

00:36:57.239 --> 00:36:57.900
 playing, you

00:36:57.900 --> 00:36:58.500
 know, dare

00:36:58.500 --> 00:36:59.360
 game or using

00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:00.320
 reverse psychology

00:37:00.320 --> 00:37:01.019
 to make Jesus

00:37:01.019 --> 00:37:01.380
 sin.

00:37:01.759 --> 00:37:02.539
 He's saying

00:37:02.539 --> 00:37:03.239
 that he's

00:37:03.239 --> 00:37:04.779
 rather trying

00:37:04.779 --> 00:37:05.960
 to get Jesus

00:37:05.960 --> 00:37:07.119
 to misuse

00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:08.279
 his prerogative

00:37:08.280 --> 00:37:08.980
 as the Son of

00:37:08.980 --> 00:37:09.640
 God and

00:37:09.640 --> 00:37:11.100
 act independently

00:37:11.100 --> 00:37:12.560
 of his

00:37:12.560 --> 00:37:13.240
 Father's will.

00:37:14.100 --> 00:37:15.019
 The first

00:37:15.019 --> 00:37:16.000
 temptation is

00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:16.519
 a temptation

00:37:16.519 --> 00:37:17.320
 of appetite.

00:37:18.680 --> 00:37:18.900
 Right?

00:37:18.960 --> 00:37:19.480
 There's nothing

00:37:19.480 --> 00:37:20.100
 wrong with

00:37:20.100 --> 00:37:20.760
 the appetite

00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:21.420
 for bread

00:37:21.420 --> 00:37:21.820
 in and of

00:37:21.820 --> 00:37:22.260
 itself.

00:37:22.900 --> 00:37:23.660
 God designed

00:37:23.660 --> 00:37:24.120
 us to be

00:37:24.120 --> 00:37:24.620
 hungry for

00:37:24.620 --> 00:37:24.920
 food,

00:37:25.260 --> 00:37:25.960
 but Jesus

00:37:25.960 --> 00:37:26.400
 is here

00:37:26.400 --> 00:37:27.040
 tempted to

00:37:27.040 --> 00:37:28.240
 doubt God's

00:37:28.240 --> 00:37:29.260
 provision for

00:37:29.260 --> 00:37:30.019
 him and to

00:37:30.019 --> 00:37:30.960
 provide for

00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:31.680
 himself.

00:37:32.240 --> 00:37:33.160
 It brings

00:37:33.160 --> 00:37:33.980
 into question

00:37:33.980 --> 00:37:34.840
 the way God

00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:35.460
 is leading

00:37:35.460 --> 00:37:36.180
 Jesus into

00:37:36.180 --> 00:37:36.780
 the wilderness

00:37:36.780 --> 00:37:37.640
 for testing.

00:37:38.240 --> 00:37:38.500
 Right?

00:37:38.540 --> 00:37:39.060
 We can see

00:37:39.060 --> 00:37:39.740
 this in the

00:37:39.740 --> 00:37:40.220
 way Jesus

00:37:40.220 --> 00:37:41.060
 answers the

00:37:41.060 --> 00:37:41.660
 devil in

00:37:41.660 --> 00:37:42.120
 verse 4.

00:37:42.600 --> 00:37:43.140
 It is written,

00:37:43.340 --> 00:37:44.360
 man shall not

00:37:44.360 --> 00:37:45.680
 live by bread

00:37:45.680 --> 00:37:46.220
 alone.

00:37:46.940 --> 00:37:47.160
 Right?

00:37:47.220 --> 00:37:47.840
 Jesus is here

00:37:47.840 --> 00:37:48.820
 quoting from

00:37:48.820 --> 00:37:49.340
 Deuteronomy

00:37:49.340 --> 00:37:49.960
 chapter 8

00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:50.680
 verse 3

00:37:50.680 --> 00:37:52.700
 where Moses

00:37:52.700 --> 00:37:53.400
 tells the

00:37:53.400 --> 00:37:53.840
 Israelites,

00:37:54.480 --> 00:37:55.120
 he humbled

00:37:55.120 --> 00:37:56.000
 you and

00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:56.440
 let you

00:37:56.440 --> 00:37:57.280
 hunger and

00:37:57.280 --> 00:37:57.780
 fed you

00:37:57.780 --> 00:37:58.420
 with manna

00:37:58.420 --> 00:37:59.040
 which you

00:37:59.040 --> 00:37:59.480
 did not

00:37:59.480 --> 00:38:00.040
 know nor

00:38:00.040 --> 00:38:00.400
 did your

00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:01.100
 fathers know

00:38:01.100 --> 00:38:01.600
 that he

00:38:01.600 --> 00:38:02.060
 might make

00:38:02.060 --> 00:38:02.420
 you know

00:38:02.420 --> 00:38:02.740
 that the

00:38:02.740 --> 00:38:03.140
 man does

00:38:03.140 --> 00:38:03.620
 not live

00:38:03.620 --> 00:38:04.140
 by bread

00:38:04.140 --> 00:38:04.480
 alone.

00:38:04.480 --> 00:38:05.119
 But man

00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:05.659
 lives by

00:38:05.659 --> 00:38:06.240
 every word

00:38:06.240 --> 00:38:06.679
 that comes

00:38:06.679 --> 00:38:07.179
 from the

00:38:07.179 --> 00:38:08.039
 mouth of

00:38:08.039 --> 00:38:08.500
 the Lord.

00:38:09.099 --> 00:38:09.639
 God humbled

00:38:09.639 --> 00:38:10.260
 the Israelites

00:38:10.260 --> 00:38:10.820
 by letting

00:38:10.820 --> 00:38:11.340
 them experience

00:38:11.340 --> 00:38:12.280
 hunger and

00:38:12.280 --> 00:38:12.719
 then instead

00:38:12.719 --> 00:38:13.139
 of giving

00:38:13.139 --> 00:38:13.659
 them all the

00:38:13.659 --> 00:38:13.980
 food that

00:38:13.980 --> 00:38:14.240
 they will

00:38:14.240 --> 00:38:14.699
 need for

00:38:14.699 --> 00:38:15.240
 their entire

00:38:15.240 --> 00:38:15.639
 journey of

00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:15.880
 wilderness,

00:38:16.300 --> 00:38:16.780
 God gave

00:38:16.780 --> 00:38:17.460
 them just

00:38:17.460 --> 00:38:18.139
 enough manna

00:38:18.139 --> 00:38:18.539
 to last

00:38:18.539 --> 00:38:19.059
 them one

00:38:19.059 --> 00:38:19.820
 day so

00:38:19.820 --> 00:38:20.340
 that every

00:38:20.340 --> 00:38:21.240
 single day

00:38:21.240 --> 00:38:21.860
 they would

00:38:21.860 --> 00:38:22.460
 be forced

00:38:22.460 --> 00:38:22.980
 to depend

00:38:22.980 --> 00:38:23.480
 on God

00:38:23.480 --> 00:38:24.119
 for his

00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:24.860
 daily

00:38:24.860 --> 00:38:25.679
 provision.

00:38:26.800 --> 00:38:27.500
 This was

00:38:27.500 --> 00:38:28.699
 intended to

00:38:28.699 --> 00:38:29.659
 make Israel

00:38:29.659 --> 00:38:30.800
 depend on

00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:31.820
 God and

00:38:31.820 --> 00:38:32.139
 look to

00:38:32.139 --> 00:38:32.500
 him.

00:38:32.500 --> 00:38:33.500
 they were

00:38:33.500 --> 00:38:33.900
 to learn

00:38:33.900 --> 00:38:35.039
 humility and

00:38:35.039 --> 00:38:36.380
 submission but

00:38:36.380 --> 00:38:38.179
 instead of

00:38:38.179 --> 00:38:38.539
 learning to

00:38:38.539 --> 00:38:39.019
 depend on

00:38:39.019 --> 00:38:39.480
 God they

00:38:39.480 --> 00:38:39.920
 learned to

00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:40.579
 rebel against

00:38:40.579 --> 00:38:41.199
 God, to

00:38:41.199 --> 00:38:41.619
 grumble,

00:38:41.880 --> 00:38:42.340
 complain,

00:38:42.719 --> 00:38:44.500
 to unbelief.

00:38:46.579 --> 00:38:47.360
 Jesus is

00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:47.880
 facing the

00:38:47.880 --> 00:38:48.679
 same temptation

00:38:48.679 --> 00:38:48.980
 here.

00:38:49.360 --> 00:38:49.860
 The devil is

00:38:49.860 --> 00:38:50.420
 asking him

00:38:50.420 --> 00:38:50.960
 aren't you

00:38:50.960 --> 00:38:51.420
 the son of

00:38:51.420 --> 00:38:51.679
 God?

00:38:53.099 --> 00:38:53.760
 Aren't you

00:38:53.760 --> 00:38:54.199
 starving?

00:38:55.480 --> 00:38:56.099
 Where is

00:38:56.099 --> 00:38:56.679
 your father?

00:38:57.500 --> 00:38:57.980
 Doesn't he

00:38:57.980 --> 00:38:58.420
 care?

00:38:58.579 --> 00:38:58.900
 Doesn't he

00:38:58.900 --> 00:38:59.960
 provide for

00:38:59.960 --> 00:39:00.280
 you?

00:39:00.659 --> 00:39:01.199
 Take things

00:39:01.199 --> 00:39:01.599
 into your

00:39:01.599 --> 00:39:02.079
 own hands.

00:39:02.079 --> 00:39:02.480
 Here you

00:39:02.480 --> 00:39:02.980
 can provide

00:39:02.980 --> 00:39:03.460
 for yourself

00:39:03.460 --> 00:39:03.920
 better than

00:39:03.920 --> 00:39:04.360
 he can.

00:39:05.079 --> 00:39:05.779
 Turn this

00:39:05.779 --> 00:39:06.340
 stone into

00:39:06.340 --> 00:39:06.679
 bread.

00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:08.739
 This is

00:39:08.739 --> 00:39:09.319
 representative

00:39:09.319 --> 00:39:09.980
 really of

00:39:09.980 --> 00:39:10.239
 all the

00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:10.819
 temptations

00:39:10.819 --> 00:39:11.340
 of any

00:39:11.340 --> 00:39:11.739
 kinds of

00:39:11.739 --> 00:39:12.000
 temptation

00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:12.420
 that we

00:39:12.420 --> 00:39:13.460
 face as

00:39:13.460 --> 00:39:13.659
 well.

00:39:13.759 --> 00:39:14.179
 Temptations

00:39:14.179 --> 00:39:14.920
 of appetite.

00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:16.639
 What are

00:39:16.639 --> 00:39:17.659
 your appetites

00:39:17.659 --> 00:39:17.920
 that have

00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:18.480
 grown in

00:39:18.480 --> 00:39:19.179
 ordinate in

00:39:19.179 --> 00:39:19.699
 your life?

00:39:20.079 --> 00:39:20.380
 That's

00:39:20.380 --> 00:39:21.319
 become unruly.

00:39:22.759 --> 00:39:23.519
 The devil

00:39:23.519 --> 00:39:24.039
 tempts us

00:39:24.039 --> 00:39:24.460
 in similar

00:39:24.460 --> 00:39:24.940
 ways.

00:39:25.480 --> 00:39:26.119
 Aren't you

00:39:26.119 --> 00:39:26.799
 a child

00:39:26.799 --> 00:39:27.360
 of God?

00:39:28.299 --> 00:39:28.799
 Where is

00:39:28.799 --> 00:39:29.380
 your father?

00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:30.500
 Aren't you

00:39:30.500 --> 00:39:30.940
 lonely?

00:39:30.940 --> 00:39:31.039
 lonely?

00:39:33.340 --> 00:39:33.980
 Date that

00:39:33.980 --> 00:39:34.440
 non-Christian

00:39:34.440 --> 00:39:34.820
 girlfriend.

00:39:36.900 --> 00:39:37.360
 Marry that

00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:37.780
 man that's

00:39:37.780 --> 00:39:38.059
 no good

00:39:38.059 --> 00:39:38.400
 for you.

00:39:39.480 --> 00:39:40.119
 Take things

00:39:40.119 --> 00:39:40.460
 into your

00:39:40.460 --> 00:39:41.059
 own hands.

00:39:42.260 --> 00:39:42.860
 Don't wait

00:39:42.860 --> 00:39:43.340
 on God

00:39:43.340 --> 00:39:43.820
 and trust

00:39:43.820 --> 00:39:44.039
 in his

00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:44.420
 provision.

00:39:44.980 --> 00:39:45.340
 Aren't you

00:39:45.340 --> 00:39:45.840
 in need?

00:39:46.740 --> 00:39:47.139
 Don't you

00:39:47.139 --> 00:39:47.559
 want to

00:39:47.559 --> 00:39:48.000
 eat at

00:39:48.000 --> 00:39:49.340
 those nice

00:39:49.340 --> 00:39:49.760
 restaurants?

00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:50.340
 Don't you

00:39:50.340 --> 00:39:50.840
 want to

00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:51.820
 buy those

00:39:51.820 --> 00:39:52.280
 clothes?

00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:52.780
 Don't you

00:39:52.780 --> 00:39:53.460
 want to

00:39:53.460 --> 00:39:53.980
 feel more

00:39:53.980 --> 00:39:54.480
 attractive?

00:39:54.900 --> 00:39:55.579
 Don't you

00:39:55.579 --> 00:39:56.159
 want to be

00:39:56.159 --> 00:39:56.880
 perceived as

00:39:56.880 --> 00:39:57.700
 more successful?

00:39:57.699 --> 00:39:58.419
 Don't you

00:39:58.419 --> 00:39:58.939
 want to

00:39:58.939 --> 00:39:59.559
 lust after

00:39:59.559 --> 00:40:00.000
 that woman

00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:01.279
 and fantasize

00:40:01.279 --> 00:40:01.799
 about her?

00:40:02.199 --> 00:40:02.639
 Don't you

00:40:02.639 --> 00:40:03.119
 want to

00:40:03.119 --> 00:40:03.639
 drink that

00:40:03.639 --> 00:40:04.919
 extra pint

00:40:04.919 --> 00:40:05.319
 of beer

00:40:05.319 --> 00:40:06.000
 that will

00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:06.359
 tip you

00:40:06.359 --> 00:40:06.699
 over the

00:40:06.699 --> 00:40:07.019
 edge?

00:40:08.219 --> 00:40:09.139
 Why are

00:40:09.139 --> 00:40:09.460
 you

00:40:09.460 --> 00:40:10.359
 depriving

00:40:10.359 --> 00:40:10.679
 yourself

00:40:10.679 --> 00:40:11.019
 of all

00:40:11.019 --> 00:40:11.199
 these

00:40:11.199 --> 00:40:11.559
 things?

00:40:11.980 --> 00:40:12.739
 Where is

00:40:12.739 --> 00:40:13.639
 your father?

00:40:14.980 --> 00:40:15.379
 Aren't you

00:40:15.379 --> 00:40:15.679
 a child

00:40:15.679 --> 00:40:16.159
 of God?

00:40:17.239 --> 00:40:18.239
 Why isn't

00:40:18.239 --> 00:40:18.819
 he caring

00:40:18.819 --> 00:40:19.480
 for you?

00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:24.599
 even if

00:40:24.599 --> 00:40:24.980
 you're

00:40:24.980 --> 00:40:25.599
 trying to

00:40:25.599 --> 00:40:26.099
 meet a

00:40:26.099 --> 00:40:26.579
 genuine

00:40:26.579 --> 00:40:27.340
 legitimate

00:40:27.340 --> 00:40:28.059
 need that

00:40:28.059 --> 00:40:28.519
 you really

00:40:28.519 --> 00:40:29.099
 have?

00:40:29.420 --> 00:40:29.920
 Is your

00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:30.559
 posture

00:40:30.559 --> 00:40:31.519
 toward God

00:40:31.519 --> 00:40:32.199
 of humble

00:40:32.199 --> 00:40:33.240
 dependence

00:40:33.240 --> 00:40:34.099
 clinging to

00:40:34.099 --> 00:40:34.460
 him for

00:40:34.460 --> 00:40:35.059
 his provision

00:40:35.059 --> 00:40:36.059
 looking to

00:40:36.059 --> 00:40:36.500
 him as

00:40:36.500 --> 00:40:37.079
 your Lord

00:40:37.079 --> 00:40:37.659
 and as

00:40:37.659 --> 00:40:38.159
 your God

00:40:38.159 --> 00:40:38.400
 and as

00:40:38.400 --> 00:40:38.780
 your King

00:40:38.780 --> 00:40:39.199
 or are

00:40:39.199 --> 00:40:39.539
 you taking

00:40:39.539 --> 00:40:40.019
 things into

00:40:40.019 --> 00:40:40.320
 your own

00:40:40.320 --> 00:40:40.659
 hands?

00:40:43.179 --> 00:40:43.679
 In

00:40:43.679 --> 00:40:44.360
 Matthew 6

00:40:44.360 --> 00:40:45.159
 25 to

00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:45.559
 34

00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:46.340
 Jesus says

00:40:46.340 --> 00:40:46.820
 therefore I

00:40:46.820 --> 00:40:47.380
 tell you

00:40:47.380 --> 00:40:48.199
 do not be

00:40:48.199 --> 00:40:48.880
 anxious about

00:40:48.880 --> 00:40:49.420
 your life

00:40:49.420 --> 00:40:49.960
 what you

00:40:49.960 --> 00:40:50.440
 will eat

00:40:50.440 --> 00:40:50.800
 or what

00:40:50.800 --> 00:40:51.039
 you will

00:40:51.039 --> 00:40:51.420
 drink

00:40:51.420 --> 00:40:52.180
 nor about

00:40:52.180 --> 00:40:52.820
 your body

00:40:52.820 --> 00:40:53.220
 what you

00:40:53.220 --> 00:40:53.579
 will put

00:40:53.579 --> 00:40:53.840
 on

00:40:53.840 --> 00:40:54.440
 is not

00:40:54.440 --> 00:40:55.079
 life more

00:40:55.079 --> 00:40:55.700
 than food

00:40:55.700 --> 00:40:56.260
 and the

00:40:56.260 --> 00:40:56.820
 body more

00:40:56.820 --> 00:40:57.460
 than clothing

00:40:57.460 --> 00:40:58.680
 but seek

00:40:58.680 --> 00:41:00.039
 first the

00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:00.599
 kingdom of

00:41:00.599 --> 00:41:01.360
 God and

00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:02.019
 his righteousness

00:41:02.019 --> 00:41:03.200
 and all

00:41:03.200 --> 00:41:04.260
 these things

00:41:04.260 --> 00:41:05.280
 will be added

00:41:05.280 --> 00:41:06.360
 to you.

00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:08.700
 You seek to

00:41:08.700 --> 00:41:09.900
 satisfy your

00:41:09.900 --> 00:41:11.460
 appetites more

00:41:11.460 --> 00:41:12.460
 than humbly

00:41:12.460 --> 00:41:13.760
 obeying God.

00:41:14.639 --> 00:41:15.460
 Are you

00:41:15.460 --> 00:41:16.019
 seeking and

00:41:16.019 --> 00:41:16.880
 advancing the

00:41:16.880 --> 00:41:17.340
 kingdom of

00:41:17.340 --> 00:41:17.720
 God in your

00:41:17.720 --> 00:41:18.920
 life or are

00:41:18.920 --> 00:41:19.440
 you merely

00:41:19.440 --> 00:41:19.860
 in a

00:41:19.860 --> 00:41:20.820
 serial pursuit

00:41:20.820 --> 00:41:22.200
 of satisfying

00:41:22.200 --> 00:41:23.300
 your appetites?

00:41:25.599 --> 00:41:26.260
 That's the

00:41:26.260 --> 00:41:26.940
 first temptation

00:41:26.940 --> 00:41:27.680
 the temptation

00:41:27.680 --> 00:41:28.200
 of appetite.

00:41:29.019 --> 00:41:29.460
 Yes we

00:41:29.460 --> 00:41:30.180
 need bread

00:41:30.180 --> 00:41:30.599
 for life

00:41:30.599 --> 00:41:31.099
 but life

00:41:31.099 --> 00:41:31.460
 is not

00:41:31.460 --> 00:41:32.320
 for bread.

00:41:33.400 --> 00:41:34.300
 The point

00:41:34.300 --> 00:41:34.940
 the purpose

00:41:34.940 --> 00:41:35.440
 of our life

00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:35.980
 is to do

00:41:35.980 --> 00:41:36.360
 the will

00:41:36.360 --> 00:41:36.700
 of God

00:41:36.700 --> 00:41:37.340
 which is why

00:41:37.340 --> 00:41:38.099
 Jesus says

00:41:38.099 --> 00:41:38.840
 in John 4

00:41:38.840 --> 00:41:39.340
 34

00:41:39.340 --> 00:41:40.619
 my food

00:41:40.619 --> 00:41:41.460
 is to do

00:41:41.460 --> 00:41:42.300
 the will

00:41:42.300 --> 00:41:42.980
 of him

00:41:42.980 --> 00:41:43.740
 who sent

00:41:43.740 --> 00:41:44.059
 me

00:41:44.059 --> 00:41:44.340
 and to

00:41:44.340 --> 00:41:44.740
 finish

00:41:44.740 --> 00:41:45.639
 his work.

00:41:45.639 --> 00:41:46.059
 that's

00:41:46.059 --> 00:41:46.659
 my food.

00:41:47.940 --> 00:41:48.579
 That's

00:41:48.579 --> 00:41:48.980
 what's

00:41:48.980 --> 00:41:49.379
 prior.

00:41:49.839 --> 00:41:50.319
 That's

00:41:50.319 --> 00:41:51.099
 what's

00:41:51.099 --> 00:41:51.299
 most

00:41:51.299 --> 00:41:51.659
 important.

00:41:53.019 --> 00:41:53.960
 The second

00:41:53.960 --> 00:41:54.460
 temptation

00:41:54.460 --> 00:41:55.539
 is a

00:41:55.539 --> 00:41:55.960
 temptation

00:41:55.960 --> 00:41:56.299
 to

00:41:56.299 --> 00:41:56.799
 ambition.

00:41:58.400 --> 00:41:59.019
 It says

00:41:59.019 --> 00:41:59.359
 in verses

00:41:59.359 --> 00:42:00.159
 5 to 7

00:42:00.159 --> 00:42:00.719
 and the

00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:01.379
 devil took

00:42:01.379 --> 00:42:01.920
 him up

00:42:01.920 --> 00:42:02.480
 and showed

00:42:02.480 --> 00:42:02.839
 him all

00:42:02.839 --> 00:42:03.299
 the kingdoms

00:42:03.299 --> 00:42:03.639
 of the

00:42:03.639 --> 00:42:03.920
 world

00:42:03.920 --> 00:42:04.480
 in a

00:42:04.480 --> 00:42:04.699
 moment

00:42:04.699 --> 00:42:04.899
 of

00:42:04.899 --> 00:42:05.219
 time

00:42:05.219 --> 00:42:05.739
 and

00:42:05.739 --> 00:42:06.059
 said

00:42:06.059 --> 00:42:06.239
 to

00:42:06.239 --> 00:42:06.519
 him

00:42:06.519 --> 00:42:07.179
 to

00:42:07.179 --> 00:42:07.500
 you

00:42:07.500 --> 00:42:07.699
 I

00:42:07.699 --> 00:42:07.819
 will

00:42:07.819 --> 00:42:08.159
 give

00:42:08.159 --> 00:42:08.659
 all the

00:42:08.659 --> 00:42:09.119
 authority

00:42:09.119 --> 00:42:09.500
 and their

00:42:09.500 --> 00:42:09.859
 glory

00:42:09.859 --> 00:42:10.420
 for it

00:42:10.420 --> 00:42:10.879
 has been

00:42:10.879 --> 00:42:11.199
 delivered

00:42:11.199 --> 00:42:11.699
 to me

00:42:11.699 --> 00:42:12.719
 and I

00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:13.059
 give it

00:42:13.059 --> 00:42:13.339
 to whom

00:42:13.339 --> 00:42:13.480
 I

00:42:13.480 --> 00:42:13.739
 will.

00:42:14.519 --> 00:42:14.940
 If you

00:42:14.940 --> 00:42:15.259
 then

00:42:15.259 --> 00:42:15.839
 will

00:42:15.839 --> 00:42:16.179
 worship

00:42:16.179 --> 00:42:16.519
 me

00:42:16.519 --> 00:42:17.219
 it

00:42:17.219 --> 00:42:17.460
 will

00:42:17.460 --> 00:42:17.940
 all

00:42:17.940 --> 00:42:18.319
 be

00:42:18.319 --> 00:42:18.799
 yours.

00:42:18.800 --> 00:42:20.440
 Some

00:42:20.440 --> 00:42:20.740
 people

00:42:20.740 --> 00:42:21.200
 ask

00:42:21.200 --> 00:42:21.560
 at this

00:42:21.560 --> 00:42:21.820
 point

00:42:21.820 --> 00:42:22.220
 whether or

00:42:22.220 --> 00:42:22.440
 not

00:42:22.440 --> 00:42:22.780
 Satan

00:42:22.780 --> 00:42:23.039
 is

00:42:23.039 --> 00:42:23.620
 bluffing

00:42:23.620 --> 00:42:23.860
 here

00:42:23.860 --> 00:42:24.320
 because

00:42:24.320 --> 00:42:24.660
 they

00:42:24.660 --> 00:42:24.820
 don't

00:42:24.820 --> 00:42:25.019
 really

00:42:25.019 --> 00:42:25.280
 think

00:42:25.280 --> 00:42:25.440
 that

00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:25.620
 Satan

00:42:25.620 --> 00:42:25.940
 has

00:42:25.940 --> 00:42:26.220
 this

00:42:26.220 --> 00:42:26.539
 kind

00:42:26.539 --> 00:42:26.680
 of

00:42:26.680 --> 00:42:26.960
 power

00:42:26.960 --> 00:42:27.140
 to

00:42:27.140 --> 00:42:27.320
 offer

00:42:27.320 --> 00:42:27.620
 Jesus

00:42:27.620 --> 00:42:27.820
 all

00:42:27.820 --> 00:42:27.980
 the

00:42:27.980 --> 00:42:28.200
 kingdoms

00:42:28.200 --> 00:42:28.360
 of

00:42:28.360 --> 00:42:28.480
 the

00:42:28.480 --> 00:42:28.680
 world

00:42:28.680 --> 00:42:28.860
 and

00:42:28.860 --> 00:42:28.980
 their

00:42:28.980 --> 00:42:29.280
 glory

00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:29.960
 but

00:42:29.960 --> 00:42:30.080
 I

00:42:30.080 --> 00:42:30.240
 think

00:42:30.240 --> 00:42:30.480
 it's

00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:30.680
 kind

00:42:30.680 --> 00:42:30.800
 of

00:42:30.800 --> 00:42:31.039
 missing

00:42:31.039 --> 00:42:31.240
 the

00:42:31.240 --> 00:42:31.500
 point

00:42:31.500 --> 00:42:31.720
 of

00:42:31.720 --> 00:42:31.840
 the

00:42:31.840 --> 00:42:32.140
 narrative

00:42:32.140 --> 00:42:32.340
 to

00:42:32.340 --> 00:42:32.560
 ask

00:42:32.560 --> 00:42:32.700
 that

00:42:32.700 --> 00:42:33.120
 question

00:42:33.120 --> 00:42:33.900
 because

00:42:33.900 --> 00:42:34.240
 Jesus

00:42:34.240 --> 00:42:34.940
 obviously

00:42:34.940 --> 00:42:35.700
 treats

00:42:35.700 --> 00:42:35.880
 it

00:42:35.880 --> 00:42:36.080
 as

00:42:36.080 --> 00:42:36.220
 a

00:42:36.220 --> 00:42:36.480
 real

00:42:36.480 --> 00:42:37.000
 temptation

00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:37.800
 and

00:42:37.800 --> 00:42:37.980
 this

00:42:37.980 --> 00:42:38.140
 is

00:42:38.140 --> 00:42:38.620
 consistent

00:42:38.620 --> 00:42:38.900
 with

00:42:38.900 --> 00:42:39.080
 the

00:42:39.080 --> 00:42:39.300
 fact

00:42:39.300 --> 00:42:39.519
 that

00:42:39.519 --> 00:42:39.660
 the

00:42:39.660 --> 00:42:39.880
 devil

00:42:39.880 --> 00:42:40.080
 is

00:42:40.080 --> 00:42:40.580
 described

00:42:40.579 --> 00:42:41.319
 in several

00:42:41.319 --> 00:42:41.840
 instances

00:42:41.840 --> 00:42:42.219
 throughout

00:42:42.219 --> 00:42:42.420
 the

00:42:42.420 --> 00:42:42.539
 New

00:42:42.539 --> 00:42:42.860
 Testament

00:42:42.860 --> 00:42:43.199
 as

00:42:43.199 --> 00:42:43.420
 the

00:42:43.420 --> 00:42:43.739
 ruler

00:42:43.739 --> 00:42:44.199
 of

00:42:44.199 --> 00:42:44.500
 this

00:42:44.500 --> 00:42:45.239
 world

00:42:45.239 --> 00:42:46.079
 this

00:42:46.079 --> 00:42:46.480
 doesn't

00:42:46.480 --> 00:42:46.639
 mean

00:42:46.639 --> 00:42:46.960
 of course

00:42:46.960 --> 00:42:47.099
 that

00:42:47.099 --> 00:42:47.219
 the

00:42:47.219 --> 00:42:47.460
 devil

00:42:47.460 --> 00:42:47.699
 is

00:42:47.699 --> 00:42:47.860
 a

00:42:47.860 --> 00:42:48.239
 rival

00:42:48.239 --> 00:42:48.659
 authority

00:42:48.659 --> 00:42:48.900
 to

00:42:48.900 --> 00:42:49.239
 God

00:42:49.239 --> 00:42:49.840
 he

00:42:49.840 --> 00:42:50.179
 says

00:42:50.179 --> 00:42:50.420
 that

00:42:50.420 --> 00:42:50.819
 all

00:42:50.819 --> 00:42:51.059
 this

00:42:51.059 --> 00:42:51.519
 authority

00:42:51.519 --> 00:42:51.679
 and

00:42:51.679 --> 00:42:51.819
 their

00:42:51.819 --> 00:42:52.119
 glory

00:42:52.119 --> 00:42:52.380
 has

00:42:52.380 --> 00:42:52.579
 been

00:42:52.579 --> 00:42:53.179
 delivered

00:42:53.179 --> 00:42:53.500
 to

00:42:53.500 --> 00:42:53.819
 me

00:42:53.819 --> 00:42:54.579
 meaning

00:42:54.579 --> 00:42:54.840
 the

00:42:54.840 --> 00:42:55.139
 devil

00:42:55.139 --> 00:42:55.480
 has

00:42:55.480 --> 00:42:56.099
 subordinate

00:42:56.099 --> 00:42:56.539
 authority

00:42:56.539 --> 00:42:56.759
 to

00:42:56.759 --> 00:42:57.019
 God

00:42:57.019 --> 00:42:57.340
 and

00:42:57.340 --> 00:42:57.559
 has

00:42:57.559 --> 00:42:58.000
 nothing

00:42:58.000 --> 00:42:58.219
 but

00:42:58.219 --> 00:42:58.380
 that

00:42:58.380 --> 00:42:58.579
 which

00:42:58.579 --> 00:42:58.920
 God

00:42:58.920 --> 00:42:59.360
 himself

00:42:59.360 --> 00:42:59.759
 has

00:42:59.759 --> 00:43:00.259
 delivered

00:43:00.259 --> 00:43:00.480
 to

00:43:00.480 --> 00:43:00.779
 him

00:43:00.779 --> 00:43:01.559
 has

00:43:01.559 --> 00:43:01.880
 allowed

00:43:01.880 --> 00:43:02.119
 him

00:43:02.119 --> 00:43:02.319
 and

00:43:02.319 --> 00:43:02.659
 permitted

00:43:02.659 --> 00:43:02.860
 him

00:43:02.860 --> 00:43:03.000
 to

00:43:03.000 --> 00:43:03.259
 have

00:43:03.259 --> 00:43:03.699
 so

00:43:03.699 --> 00:43:03.960
 it's

00:43:03.960 --> 00:43:04.539
 interesting

00:43:04.539 --> 00:43:05.059
 though

00:43:05.059 --> 00:43:05.299
 here

00:43:05.300 --> 00:43:05.500
 that

00:43:12.820 --> 00:43:12.920
 it

00:43:12.920 --> 00:43:12.980

00:43:12.980 --> 00:43:13.140
 the

00:43:13.140 --> 00:43:13.460

00:43:17.860 --> 00:43:18.300
 until

00:43:18.300 --> 00:43:18.660
 it's

00:43:18.660 --> 00:43:19.240
 wrested

00:43:19.240 --> 00:43:19.440
 from

 his

 he

00:43:24.360 --> 00:43:24.420
 why

00:43:24.420 --> 00:43:24.539
 it's

00:43:24.539 --> 00:43:24.640
 a

 mistake

00:43:25.039 --> 00:43:25.340
 for

 we

 that's

 a

 not

00:44:07.660 --> 00:44:08.180
 wrong

00:44:28.039 --> 00:44:28.280
 son

00:44:28.280 --> 00:44:28.440

00:44:30.159 --> 00:44:31.079
 service

00:44:31.079 --> 00:44:33.480
 but

00:44:33.480 --> 00:44:33.820
 this

00:44:33.820 --> 00:44:34.320
 is a

00:44:34.320 --> 00:44:34.760
 temptation

00:44:34.760 --> 00:44:35.039
 to

00:45:20.719 --> 00:45:21.740
 when

00:45:21.740 --> 00:45:21.920
 they

00:45:21.920 --> 00:45:23.079
 make

 golden

 their

00:45:25.099 --> 00:45:25.440
 God

00:45:25.440 --> 00:45:26.179
 in

 Moses

00:45:26.559 --> 00:45:27.340
 absence

00:45:27.340 --> 00:45:28.000
 when

00:45:28.000 --> 00:45:28.179
 he

00:45:28.179 --> 00:45:28.360
 was

00:45:28.360 --> 00:45:29.420
 receiving

00:45:29.420 --> 00:45:29.659
 the

 laws

00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:30.440
 actually

00:45:30.440 --> 00:45:30.880
 fasting

00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:31.380
 they

00:45:31.380 --> 00:45:31.780
 recognized

00:45:31.780 --> 00:45:32.059
 that

00:45:32.059 --> 00:45:32.220
 they

00:45:32.220 --> 00:45:32.579
 need

00:45:32.579 --> 00:45:33.119
 divine

00:45:33.119 --> 00:45:33.740
 sponsorship

00:45:33.740 --> 00:45:34.159
 in order

00:45:34.159 --> 00:45:34.400
 to be

00:45:34.400 --> 00:45:34.900
 successful

00:45:34.900 --> 00:45:35.240
 in their

00:45:35.240 --> 00:45:35.659
 conquest

00:45:35.659 --> 00:45:35.960
 of the

00:45:35.960 --> 00:45:36.220
 promised

00:45:36.220 --> 00:45:36.539
 land

00:45:36.539 --> 00:45:37.059
 but

00:45:37.059 --> 00:45:37.539
 since

00:45:37.539 --> 00:45:37.840
 their

00:45:37.840 --> 00:45:38.400
 conquest

00:45:38.400 --> 00:45:39.200
 was not

00:45:39.200 --> 00:45:39.740
 about

00:45:39.740 --> 00:45:40.280
 the glory

00:45:40.280 --> 00:45:40.820
 of God

00:45:40.820 --> 00:45:41.179
 it was

00:45:41.179 --> 00:45:41.780
 not about

00:45:41.780 --> 00:45:42.360
 pursuing

00:45:42.360 --> 00:45:42.780
 God

00:45:42.780 --> 00:45:43.340
 but because

00:45:43.340 --> 00:45:43.599
 it was

00:45:43.599 --> 00:45:43.860
 about

00:45:43.860 --> 00:45:44.079
 their

00:45:44.079 --> 00:45:44.639
 national

00:45:44.639 --> 00:45:45.059
 glory

00:45:45.059 --> 00:45:45.579
 as

00:45:45.579 --> 00:45:46.119
 Israel

00:45:46.119 --> 00:45:46.599
 because

00:45:46.599 --> 00:45:46.940
 it was

00:45:46.940 --> 00:45:47.260
 for

00:45:47.260 --> 00:45:47.780
 them

00:45:47.780 --> 00:45:48.280
 and not

00:45:48.280 --> 00:45:48.579
 for

00:45:48.579 --> 00:45:48.920
 God

00:45:48.920 --> 00:45:49.340
 they

00:45:49.340 --> 00:45:49.860
 quickly

00:45:49.860 --> 00:45:50.159
 when

00:45:50.159 --> 00:45:50.300
 they

00:45:50.300 --> 00:45:50.619
 realized

00:45:50.619 --> 00:45:50.800
 that

00:45:50.800 --> 00:45:51.119
 God's

00:45:51.119 --> 00:45:51.360
 not

00:45:51.360 --> 00:45:51.659
 with

00:45:51.659 --> 00:45:51.840
 him

00:45:53.940 --> 00:45:54.179
 this

00:45:54.179 --> 00:45:54.519
 golden

00:45:54.519 --> 00:45:55.059
 calf

00:45:55.059 --> 00:45:57.820
 this

00:45:57.820 --> 00:45:58.260
 temptation

00:45:58.260 --> 00:45:58.500
 is

00:45:58.500 --> 00:45:58.679
 about

00:45:58.679 --> 00:45:59.280
 ambition

00:45:59.280 --> 00:46:00.320
 selfish

00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:00.980
 ambition

00:46:00.980 --> 00:46:01.340
 leads

00:46:01.340 --> 00:46:01.519
 to

00:46:01.519 --> 00:46:02.260
 idolatry

00:46:02.260 --> 00:46:04.480
 and

00:46:04.480 --> 00:46:04.659
 whether

00:46:04.659 --> 00:46:04.980
 or not

00:46:04.980 --> 00:46:05.340
 we have

00:46:05.340 --> 00:46:05.820
 godly

00:46:05.820 --> 00:46:06.240
 ambition

00:46:06.240 --> 00:46:06.740
 or

00:46:06.740 --> 00:46:07.200
 selfish

00:46:07.200 --> 00:46:07.619
 ambition

00:46:07.619 --> 00:46:08.440
 is

00:46:08.440 --> 00:46:08.840
 revealed

00:46:08.840 --> 00:46:09.099
 by

00:46:09.099 --> 00:46:09.420
 what

00:46:09.420 --> 00:46:10.119
 costs

00:46:10.119 --> 00:46:10.400
 we're

00:46:10.400 --> 00:46:10.659
 willing

00:46:10.659 --> 00:46:11.139
 to pay

00:46:11.139 --> 00:46:11.420
 to

00:46:11.420 --> 00:46:11.960
 fulfill

00:46:11.960 --> 00:46:12.760
 that

00:46:12.760 --> 00:46:13.179
 ambition

00:46:13.179 --> 00:46:15.300
 are

00:46:15.300 --> 00:46:15.480
 you

00:46:15.480 --> 00:46:15.800
 willing

00:46:15.800 --> 00:46:16.079
 to

00:46:16.079 --> 00:46:16.760
 compromise

00:46:16.760 --> 00:46:17.420
 your

00:46:17.420 --> 00:46:18.039
 principles

00:46:18.039 --> 00:46:18.860
 in order

00:46:18.860 --> 00:46:19.079
 to

00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:19.460
 climb

00:46:19.460 --> 00:46:19.700
 the

00:46:19.700 --> 00:46:19.960
 ladder

00:46:19.960 --> 00:46:20.159
 of

00:46:20.159 --> 00:46:20.639
 success

00:46:20.639 --> 00:46:22.980
 yes

00:46:22.980 --> 00:46:23.159
 you

00:46:23.159 --> 00:46:23.340
 want

00:46:23.340 --> 00:46:23.559
 to do

00:46:23.559 --> 00:46:23.920
 great

00:46:23.940 --> 00:46:24.300
 things

00:46:24.300 --> 00:46:24.500
 for

00:46:24.500 --> 00:46:24.679
 God

00:46:24.679 --> 00:46:25.000
 that's

00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:25.340
 great

00:46:25.340 --> 00:46:25.760
 but

00:46:25.760 --> 00:46:25.900
 is

00:46:25.900 --> 00:46:26.079
 that

00:46:26.079 --> 00:46:26.460
 really

00:46:26.460 --> 00:46:26.920
 for

00:46:26.920 --> 00:46:27.280
 God

00:46:27.280 --> 00:46:27.599
 or

00:46:27.599 --> 00:46:27.900
 is

00:46:54.039 --> 00:46:54.300
 that's

00:46:54.300 --> 00:46:54.440
 an

00:46:54.440 --> 00:46:54.860
 indicator

 this

00:46:56.099 --> 00:46:56.559
 temptation

00:46:56.559 --> 00:46:57.380
 of

00:47:03.700 --> 00:47:04.019
 I

00:47:04.019 --> 00:47:04.320
 will

00:47:04.320 --> 00:47:04.659
 serve

00:47:07.599 --> 00:47:07.880
 final

00:47:07.880 --> 00:47:08.260

00:47:08.800 --> 00:47:08.920
 the

00:47:08.920 --> 00:47:09.300

00:47:13.420 --> 00:47:13.700
 took

00:48:16.639 --> 00:48:17.319
 context

00:48:17.319 --> 00:48:18.299
 is

00:48:18.299 --> 00:48:18.599
 a

00:48:18.599 --> 00:48:19.339
 pretext

00:48:19.339 --> 00:48:21.139
 in

00:48:21.139 --> 00:48:21.359
 its

00:48:21.359 --> 00:48:21.759
 original

00:48:21.759 --> 00:48:22.519
 context

00:48:22.519 --> 00:48:23.440
 Psalm

00:48:23.440 --> 00:48:24.399
 91

00:48:24.399 --> 00:48:25.039
 spoke

00:48:25.039 --> 00:48:25.279
 about

00:48:25.279 --> 00:48:25.480
 how

00:48:25.480 --> 00:48:25.819
 God

00:48:25.819 --> 00:48:26.079
 will

00:48:26.079 --> 00:48:26.519
 guard

00:48:26.519 --> 00:48:26.759
 and

00:48:26.759 --> 00:48:27.219
 protect

00:48:27.219 --> 00:48:27.699
 us

00:48:27.699 --> 00:48:28.699
 as we

00:48:28.699 --> 00:48:29.199
 walk

00:48:29.199 --> 00:48:29.500
 with

00:48:29.500 --> 00:48:29.919
 him

00:48:29.919 --> 00:48:30.359
 and

00:48:30.359 --> 00:48:30.919
 trust

00:48:30.919 --> 00:48:31.119
 in

00:48:31.119 --> 00:48:31.379
 him

00:48:31.379 --> 00:48:32.199
 right

00:48:32.199 --> 00:48:32.419
 the

00:48:32.419 --> 00:48:32.879
 psalm

00:48:32.879 --> 00:48:33.299
 called

00:48:33.299 --> 00:48:33.539
 for

00:48:33.539 --> 00:48:34.019
 humble

00:48:34.019 --> 00:48:34.679
 submission

00:48:34.679 --> 00:48:36.059
 dependence

00:48:36.059 --> 00:48:36.579
 on God

00:48:36.579 --> 00:48:37.019
 walking

00:48:37.019 --> 00:48:37.439
 with him

00:48:37.439 --> 00:48:38.059
 entrusting

00:48:38.059 --> 00:48:38.759
 yourself

00:48:38.759 --> 00:48:39.259
 to him

00:48:39.259 --> 00:48:39.779
 but the

00:48:39.779 --> 00:48:40.059
 devil

00:48:40.059 --> 00:48:40.259
 is

00:48:40.259 --> 00:48:40.579
 tempting

00:48:40.579 --> 00:48:41.019
 Jesus

00:48:41.019 --> 00:48:41.599
 instead

00:48:41.599 --> 00:48:42.019
 to

00:48:42.019 --> 00:48:42.599
 presume

00:48:42.599 --> 00:48:43.759
 on that

00:48:43.759 --> 00:48:44.319
 and to

00:48:44.319 --> 00:48:44.659
 take

00:48:44.659 --> 00:48:45.219
 things

00:48:45.219 --> 00:48:45.899
 out of

00:48:45.899 --> 00:48:46.219
 God's

00:48:46.219 --> 00:48:46.480
 hands

00:48:46.480 --> 00:48:46.899
 and into

00:48:46.899 --> 00:48:47.279
 his own

00:48:47.279 --> 00:48:48.379
 this is a

00:48:48.379 --> 00:48:48.879
 temptation

00:48:48.879 --> 00:48:49.839
 of affirmation

00:48:49.839 --> 00:48:50.519
 that puts

00:48:50.519 --> 00:48:51.199
 man

00:48:51.199 --> 00:48:52.139
 not God

00:48:52.139 --> 00:48:52.779
 at

00:48:52.779 --> 00:48:53.639
 the center

00:48:53.639 --> 00:48:54.439
 it puts

00:48:54.439 --> 00:48:54.879
 man on

00:48:54.879 --> 00:48:55.419
 the driver's

00:48:55.419 --> 00:48:55.639
 seat

00:48:55.639 --> 00:48:57.019
 aren't

00:48:57.019 --> 00:48:57.219
 you

00:48:57.219 --> 00:48:57.400
 the

00:48:57.400 --> 00:48:57.559
 son

00:48:57.559 --> 00:48:57.679
 of

00:48:57.679 --> 00:48:57.980
 God

00:48:57.980 --> 00:48:59.119
 make

00:48:59.119 --> 00:48:59.400
 God

00:48:59.400 --> 00:48:59.839
 prove

00:48:59.839 --> 00:49:00.039
 his

00:49:00.039 --> 00:49:00.460
 care

00:49:00.460 --> 00:49:00.699
 and

00:49:00.699 --> 00:49:01.139
 protection

00:49:01.139 --> 00:49:01.900
 by

00:49:01.900 --> 00:49:02.379
 jumping

00:49:02.379 --> 00:49:02.739
 off

00:49:02.739 --> 00:49:03.559
 the

00:49:03.559 --> 00:49:03.900
 temple

00:49:03.900 --> 00:49:04.900
 notice

00:49:04.900 --> 00:49:05.119
 that

00:49:05.119 --> 00:49:05.799
 the devil

00:49:05.799 --> 00:49:06.179
 doesn't

00:49:06.179 --> 00:49:06.379
 just

00:49:06.379 --> 00:49:06.659
 take

00:49:06.659 --> 00:49:06.759
 him

00:49:06.759 --> 00:49:06.940
 to

00:49:06.940 --> 00:49:07.059
 a

00:49:07.059 --> 00:49:07.239
 high

00:49:07.239 --> 00:49:07.659
 mountain

00:49:07.659 --> 00:49:08.420
 any

00:49:08.420 --> 00:49:08.859
 high

00:49:08.859 --> 00:49:09.139
 mountain

00:49:09.139 --> 00:49:09.279
 would

00:49:09.279 --> 00:49:09.619
 have

00:49:09.619 --> 00:49:10.119
 done

00:49:10.119 --> 00:49:10.339
 if

00:49:10.339 --> 00:49:10.460
 it

00:49:10.460 --> 00:49:10.579
 were

00:49:10.579 --> 00:49:10.819
 just

00:49:10.819 --> 00:49:11.159
 about

00:49:11.159 --> 00:49:11.739
 jumping

00:49:11.739 --> 00:49:12.039
 off

00:49:12.039 --> 00:49:12.199
 and

00:49:12.199 --> 00:49:12.819
 trusting

00:49:12.819 --> 00:49:13.099
 him

00:49:13.099 --> 00:49:13.920
 but

00:49:13.920 --> 00:49:14.059
 he

00:49:14.059 --> 00:49:14.379
 takes

00:49:14.379 --> 00:49:14.579
 him

00:49:14.579 --> 00:49:14.819
 to

00:49:14.819 --> 00:49:15.039
 the

00:49:15.039 --> 00:49:15.359
 pinnacle

00:49:15.359 --> 00:49:15.519
 of

00:49:15.519 --> 00:49:15.659
 the

00:49:15.659 --> 00:49:16.059
 temple

00:49:16.059 --> 00:49:16.579
 why

00:49:16.579 --> 00:49:17.259
 because

00:49:17.259 --> 00:49:17.619
 that's

00:49:17.619 --> 00:49:17.759
 the

00:49:17.759 --> 00:49:18.019
 house

00:49:18.019 --> 00:49:18.179
 of

00:49:18.179 --> 00:49:18.480
 God

00:49:18.480 --> 00:49:19.719
 here

00:49:19.719 --> 00:49:20.679
 surely

00:49:20.679 --> 00:49:20.980
 God

00:49:20.980 --> 00:49:21.119
 is

00:49:21.119 --> 00:49:21.239
 in

00:49:21.239 --> 00:49:21.500
 this

00:49:21.500 --> 00:49:21.940
 place

00:49:21.940 --> 00:49:23.240
 let's

00:49:23.240 --> 00:49:23.360
 do

00:49:23.360 --> 00:49:23.460
 a

00:49:23.460 --> 00:49:23.599
 little

00:49:23.599 --> 00:49:23.920
 trust

00:49:23.920 --> 00:49:24.300
 fall

00:49:24.300 --> 00:49:25.559
 throw

00:49:25.559 --> 00:49:26.059
 yourself

00:49:26.059 --> 00:49:27.179
 make

00:49:27.179 --> 00:49:27.579
 God

00:49:27.579 --> 00:49:28.079
 prove

00:49:28.079 --> 00:49:28.679
 his

00:49:28.679 --> 00:49:29.059
 care

00:49:29.059 --> 00:49:29.619
 and

00:49:29.619 --> 00:49:30.039
 protection

00:49:30.039 --> 00:49:30.280
 for

00:49:30.280 --> 00:49:30.500
 you

00:49:30.500 --> 00:49:32.019
 but

00:49:32.019 --> 00:49:32.340
 Jesus

00:49:32.340 --> 00:49:32.720
 once

00:49:32.720 --> 00:49:33.079
 again

 there's

00:49:56.559 --> 00:49:56.699
 no

00:49:56.699 --> 00:49:57.000
 water

00:49:57.000 --> 00:49:57.179

 of

00:50:21.379 --> 00:50:22.259
 affirmation

00:50:27.759 --> 00:50:27.939
 or

00:50:27.939 --> 00:50:28.379
 not

00:50:28.379 --> 00:50:30.319
 Jesus

00:50:30.319 --> 00:50:30.719
 is

00:50:30.719 --> 00:50:30.980
 being

00:50:30.980 --> 00:50:31.259
 tempted

 test

00:50:31.799 --> 00:50:32.000
 the

00:50:32.000 --> 00:50:32.459
 father's

00:50:32.459 --> 00:50:32.779
 approval

00:50:32.779 --> 00:50:33.000
 of

00:50:33.000 --> 00:50:33.139
 him

00:50:33.139 --> 00:50:33.319
 as

 his

00:50:33.480 --> 00:50:33.699
 son

00:50:33.699 --> 00:50:34.219
 rather

00:50:34.219 --> 00:50:34.480
 than

00:50:34.480 --> 00:50:34.959
 trusting

00:50:34.959 --> 00:50:35.319
 him

00:50:35.319 --> 00:50:35.779
 and

00:50:35.779 --> 00:50:36.000
 Satan

00:50:36.000 --> 00:50:36.259
 trying

 to

00:50:36.359 --> 00:50:36.480
 get

00:50:36.480 --> 00:50:36.559
 him

00:50:36.559 --> 00:50:36.699
 to

00:50:36.699 --> 00:50:37.059

 this

00:50:37.359 --> 00:50:37.959
 artificial

00:50:37.959 --> 00:50:38.599
 situation

00:50:38.599 --> 00:50:38.819
 to

00:50:38.819 --> 00:50:39.139
 force

00:50:39.139 --> 00:50:39.519
 God's

00:50:39.519 --> 00:50:39.779
 hand

00:50:39.779 --> 00:50:40.299
 to

00:50:40.299 --> 00:50:40.639
 show

00:50:40.639 --> 00:50:41.079
 his

00:50:41.079 --> 00:50:41.480
 care

00:50:41.480 --> 00:50:43.099
 how

00:50:43.099 --> 00:50:43.419
 often

00:50:43.419 --> 00:50:43.619
 do

 we

00:50:43.759 --> 00:50:43.899
 do

 this

00:50:44.279 --> 00:50:47.480
 if

 me

00:50:49.539 --> 00:50:50.699
 if

 I

00:50:53.619 --> 00:50:53.739
 will

 know

00:50:53.940 --> 00:50:54.119
 that

 you

00:50:54.320 --> 00:50:54.440
 are

00:50:54.440 --> 00:50:54.639
 there

00:50:54.639 --> 00:50:54.800
 for

00:50:54.800 --> 00:50:54.960
 me

00:50:54.960 --> 00:50:55.179
 and

00:50:55.179 --> 00:50:55.360
 care

00:50:55.360 --> 00:50:55.519
 for

00:50:55.519 --> 00:50:55.719
 me

00:50:55.719 --> 00:50:58.219
 if

 you

00:50:58.420 --> 00:50:58.599
 do

00:50:58.599 --> 00:50:58.840
 this

00:50:58.840 --> 00:50:59.019
 for

00:50:59.019 --> 00:50:59.239
 me

00:50:59.239 --> 00:50:59.639
 then

00:50:59.639 --> 00:50:59.779
 I

00:50:59.779 --> 00:50:59.920
 will

00:50:59.920 --> 00:51:00.320
 believe

00:51:00.320 --> 00:51:01.360
 if

00:51:01.360 --> 00:51:01.480
 you

00:51:01.480 --> 00:51:01.599
 do

00:51:01.599 --> 00:51:01.820
 this

00:51:01.820 --> 00:51:01.960
 for

00:51:01.960 --> 00:51:03.639
 me

00:51:03.639 --> 00:51:03.840
 then

 I

00:51:04.039 --> 00:51:04.179
 will

00:51:04.179 --> 00:51:04.519
 know

00:51:04.519 --> 00:51:04.820
 and

00:51:04.820 --> 00:51:04.960
 I

00:51:04.960 --> 00:51:05.079
 will

00:51:05.079 --> 00:51:05.380
 be

00:51:05.380 --> 00:51:06.759
 your

00:51:06.759 --> 00:51:07.039
 loyal

00:51:07.039 --> 00:51:07.460
 servant

00:51:07.460 --> 00:51:08.920
 me

00:51:08.920 --> 00:51:09.320
 me

00:51:09.320 --> 00:51:09.800
 puts

00:51:09.800 --> 00:51:10.659
 man

00:51:10.659 --> 00:51:10.900
 at

00:51:10.900 --> 00:51:11.079
 the

00:51:11.079 --> 00:51:11.360
 center

00:51:11.360 --> 00:51:12.159
 instead

00:51:12.159 --> 00:51:12.440
 of

00:51:12.440 --> 00:51:12.920
 submitting

00:51:12.920 --> 00:51:13.340
 humbly

00:51:13.340 --> 00:51:13.539
 to

00:51:13.539 --> 00:51:13.840
 God

00:51:13.840 --> 00:51:14.380
 and

00:51:14.380 --> 00:51:14.820
 following

00:51:14.820 --> 00:51:15.219
 God

00:51:15.219 --> 00:51:15.880
 as

00:51:15.880 --> 00:51:16.079
 the

00:51:16.079 --> 00:51:16.420
 center

00:51:16.420 --> 00:51:16.779
 and

00:51:16.779 --> 00:51:16.960
 the

00:51:16.960 --> 00:51:17.360
 driving

00:51:17.360 --> 00:51:17.860
 point

00:51:17.860 --> 00:51:18.119
 of

00:51:18.119 --> 00:51:18.279
 our

00:51:18.279 --> 00:51:18.719
 lives

00:51:18.719 --> 00:51:27.319
 Jesus

00:51:27.319 --> 00:51:29.019
 succeeds

00:51:29.019 --> 00:51:29.440
 here

00:51:29.440 --> 00:51:29.699
 where

00:51:29.699 --> 00:51:30.199
 Israel

00:51:30.199 --> 00:51:30.900
 had

00:51:30.900 --> 00:51:31.339
 failed

00:51:31.339 --> 00:51:31.659
 and

00:51:31.659 --> 00:51:31.920
 this

00:51:31.920 --> 00:51:32.199
 should

00:51:32.199 --> 00:51:32.480
 be a

00:51:32.480 --> 00:51:33.079
 consolation

00:51:33.079 --> 00:51:33.319
 for

00:51:33.319 --> 00:51:33.639
 us

00:51:33.639 --> 00:51:34.339
 because

00:51:34.339 --> 00:51:34.679
 how many

00:51:34.679 --> 00:51:35.019
 times

00:51:35.019 --> 00:51:35.259
 have

00:51:35.259 --> 00:51:35.400
 we

00:51:35.400 --> 00:51:35.719
 fallen

00:51:35.719 --> 00:51:35.960
 to

00:51:35.960 --> 00:51:36.119
 all

00:51:36.119 --> 00:51:36.239
 of

00:51:36.239 --> 00:51:36.420
 these

00:51:36.420 --> 00:51:36.980
 temptations

00:51:36.980 --> 00:51:37.900
 the

00:51:37.900 --> 00:51:38.400
 temptations

00:51:38.400 --> 00:51:38.820
 of

00:51:38.820 --> 00:51:39.880
 affirmation

00:51:39.880 --> 00:51:40.619
 of

00:51:40.619 --> 00:51:41.099
 ambition

00:51:41.099 --> 00:51:43.559
 the

00:51:43.559 --> 00:51:44.019
 temptations

00:51:44.019 --> 00:51:44.340
 of our

00:51:44.340 --> 00:51:44.800
 appetite

00:51:44.800 --> 00:51:47.179
 we have

00:51:47.179 --> 00:51:47.519
 fallen

00:51:47.519 --> 00:51:48.000
 again

00:51:48.000 --> 00:51:48.519
 and again

00:51:48.519 --> 00:51:49.360
 and again

00:51:49.360 --> 00:51:50.380
 and again

00:51:50.380 --> 00:51:52.139
 so that

00:51:52.139 --> 00:51:52.579
 we have

00:51:52.579 --> 00:51:53.199
 no hope

00:51:53.199 --> 00:51:54.039
 of being

00:51:54.039 --> 00:51:54.659
 reconciled

00:51:54.659 --> 00:51:55.019
 to God

00:51:55.019 --> 00:51:57.039
 but that's

00:51:57.039 --> 00:51:57.679
 why Jesus

00:51:57.679 --> 00:51:58.639
 came as a

00:51:58.639 --> 00:51:59.099
 representative

00:51:59.099 --> 00:51:59.960
 and it

00:51:59.960 --> 00:52:00.460
 says in

00:52:00.460 --> 00:52:01.139
 verse 13

00:52:01.139 --> 00:52:02.039
 something very

00:52:02.039 --> 00:52:02.519
 provocative

00:52:02.519 --> 00:52:03.539
 and when

00:52:03.539 --> 00:52:04.079
 the devil

00:52:04.079 --> 00:52:04.800
 had ended

00:52:04.800 --> 00:52:05.179
 every

00:52:05.179 --> 00:52:05.679
 temptation

00:52:05.679 --> 00:52:07.019
 he departed

00:52:07.019 --> 00:52:08.039
 from him

00:52:08.039 --> 00:52:09.059
 until

00:52:09.059 --> 00:52:09.679
 an

00:52:09.679 --> 00:52:10.739
 opportune

00:52:10.739 --> 00:52:11.139
 time

00:52:11.139 --> 00:52:14.420
 Jesus

00:52:14.420 --> 00:52:15.699
 is not

00:52:15.699 --> 00:52:16.340
 confronted

00:52:16.340 --> 00:52:17.500
 directly by

00:52:17.500 --> 00:52:18.159
 Satan

00:52:18.159 --> 00:52:19.719
 the devil

00:52:19.719 --> 00:52:20.599
 between

00:52:20.599 --> 00:52:21.400
 chapter 4

00:52:21.400 --> 00:52:22.139
 verse 13

00:52:22.139 --> 00:52:23.360
 here and

00:52:23.360 --> 00:52:24.280
 chapter 22

00:52:24.280 --> 00:52:24.920
 verse 3

00:52:24.920 --> 00:52:25.579
 in the gospel

00:52:25.579 --> 00:52:25.960
 of Luke

00:52:25.960 --> 00:52:27.820
 he does

00:52:27.820 --> 00:52:28.400
 confront

00:52:28.400 --> 00:52:29.280
 minor demons

00:52:29.280 --> 00:52:30.220
 and unclean

00:52:30.220 --> 00:52:30.659
 spirits

00:52:30.659 --> 00:52:31.159
 in between

00:52:31.159 --> 00:52:32.019
 but

00:52:32.019 --> 00:52:33.260
 there's no

00:52:33.260 --> 00:52:33.639
 direct

00:52:33.639 --> 00:52:34.139
 confrontation

00:52:34.139 --> 00:52:34.880
 with Satan

00:52:34.880 --> 00:52:35.860
 the devil

00:52:35.860 --> 00:52:38.579
 when

00:52:38.579 --> 00:52:38.800
 does

00:52:38.800 --> 00:52:39.059
 Satan

00:52:39.059 --> 00:52:39.500
 return

00:52:39.500 --> 00:52:40.500
 why

00:52:40.500 --> 00:52:40.840
 is the

00:52:40.840 --> 00:52:41.099
 statement

00:52:41.099 --> 00:52:41.440
 here

00:52:41.440 --> 00:52:42.159
 because

00:52:42.159 --> 00:52:42.500
 the

00:52:42.500 --> 00:52:43.159
 opportune

00:52:43.159 --> 00:52:43.480
 time

00:52:43.480 --> 00:52:44.039
 is when

00:52:44.039 --> 00:52:44.380
 Jesus

00:52:44.380 --> 00:52:45.079
 is taken

00:52:45.079 --> 00:52:45.659
 to the

00:52:45.659 --> 00:52:46.079
 cross

00:52:46.079 --> 00:52:48.760
 because

00:52:48.760 --> 00:52:49.480
 we have

00:52:49.480 --> 00:52:49.800
 failed

00:52:49.800 --> 00:52:50.079
 because

00:52:50.079 --> 00:52:50.659
 we had

00:52:50.659 --> 00:52:51.079
 succumb

00:52:51.079 --> 00:52:51.500
 to the

00:52:51.500 --> 00:52:52.059
 temptations

00:52:52.059 --> 00:52:52.780
 of appetite

00:52:52.780 --> 00:52:53.360
 and of

00:52:53.360 --> 00:52:54.119
 affirmation

00:52:54.119 --> 00:52:55.320
 and ambition

00:52:55.320 --> 00:52:55.980
 because we

00:52:55.980 --> 00:52:56.580
 have failed

00:52:56.580 --> 00:52:56.940
 in these

00:52:56.940 --> 00:52:57.500
 ways

00:52:57.500 --> 00:52:58.260
 someone

00:52:58.260 --> 00:52:59.320
 has to

00:52:59.320 --> 00:53:00.720
 stand

00:53:00.720 --> 00:53:01.220
 for us

00:53:01.220 --> 00:53:01.480
 someone

00:53:01.480 --> 00:53:02.320
 has to

00:53:02.320 --> 00:53:02.720
 pay

00:53:02.720 --> 00:53:03.400
 for our

00:53:03.400 --> 00:53:03.660
 sins

00:53:03.660 --> 00:53:03.900
 someone

00:53:03.900 --> 00:53:04.860
 has to

00:53:04.860 --> 00:53:05.340
 stand

00:53:05.340 --> 00:53:05.900
 in our

00:53:05.900 --> 00:53:06.460
 place

00:53:06.460 --> 00:53:07.039
 to bear

00:53:07.039 --> 00:53:07.240
 the

00:53:07.240 --> 00:53:07.680
 punishment

00:53:07.680 --> 00:53:08.460
 the guilt

00:53:08.460 --> 00:53:08.960
 that we

00:53:08.960 --> 00:53:09.620
 have incurred

00:53:09.620 --> 00:53:10.300
 for ourselves

00:53:10.300 --> 00:53:10.920
 and so

00:53:10.920 --> 00:53:11.620
 that opportune

00:53:11.620 --> 00:53:12.360
 time comes

00:53:12.360 --> 00:53:13.019
 this son

00:53:13.019 --> 00:53:13.480
 of man

00:53:13.480 --> 00:53:14.080
 this son

00:53:14.080 --> 00:53:14.539
 of God

00:53:14.539 --> 00:53:15.220
 who should

00:53:15.220 --> 00:53:15.720
 never

00:53:15.720 --> 00:53:16.180
 be

00:53:16.180 --> 00:53:17.080
 never be

00:53:17.080 --> 00:53:17.559
 subjected

00:53:17.559 --> 00:53:19.400
 to the

00:53:19.400 --> 00:53:19.780
 work of

00:53:19.780 --> 00:53:20.039
 the evil

00:53:20.039 --> 00:53:20.360
 one

00:53:20.360 --> 00:53:21.900
 who should

00:53:21.900 --> 00:53:22.760
 never be

00:53:22.760 --> 00:53:23.960
 subjected

00:53:23.960 --> 00:53:24.680
 to the

00:53:24.680 --> 00:53:25.120
 penalties

00:53:25.119 --> 00:53:26.119
 of sin

00:53:26.119 --> 00:53:27.940
 to him

00:53:27.940 --> 00:53:29.279
 that moment

00:53:29.279 --> 00:53:29.679
 that should

00:53:29.679 --> 00:53:30.019
 not have

00:53:30.019 --> 00:53:30.299
 come

00:53:30.299 --> 00:53:31.179
 comes

00:53:31.179 --> 00:53:32.400
 because he

00:53:32.400 --> 00:53:33.159
 takes our

00:53:33.159 --> 00:53:33.619
 place

00:53:33.619 --> 00:53:34.380
 and dies

00:53:34.380 --> 00:53:34.779
 on the

00:53:34.779 --> 00:53:35.199
 cross

00:53:35.199 --> 00:53:36.239
 in our

00:53:36.239 --> 00:53:37.039
 stead

00:53:37.039 --> 00:53:40.599
 and so

00:53:40.599 --> 00:53:40.940
 that

00:53:40.940 --> 00:53:41.900
 for all

00:53:41.900 --> 00:53:42.719
 those who

00:53:42.719 --> 00:53:43.880
 repent of

00:53:43.880 --> 00:53:44.500
 their sins

00:53:44.500 --> 00:53:45.359
 and believe

00:53:45.359 --> 00:53:45.819
 in Jesus

00:53:45.819 --> 00:53:46.279
 Christ

00:53:46.279 --> 00:53:46.960
 we become

00:53:46.960 --> 00:53:47.599
 adopted

00:53:47.599 --> 00:53:48.460
 children

00:53:48.460 --> 00:53:49.000
 of God

00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:50.519
 he takes

00:53:50.519 --> 00:53:50.960
 runaway

00:53:50.960 --> 00:53:51.619
 slaves

00:53:51.619 --> 00:53:52.339
 and adopts

00:53:52.339 --> 00:53:53.079
 them as

00:53:53.079 --> 00:53:53.639
 his own

00:53:53.639 --> 00:53:53.880
 through

00:53:53.880 --> 00:53:54.179
 Jesus

00:53:54.179 --> 00:53:54.639
 Christ

00:53:54.639 --> 00:53:55.480
 he takes

00:53:55.480 --> 00:53:56.039
 rebels

00:53:56.039 --> 00:53:58.099
 and restores

00:53:58.099 --> 00:53:58.839
 them to

00:53:58.839 --> 00:53:59.699
 as heirs

00:53:59.699 --> 00:54:00.599
 of his

00:54:00.599 --> 00:54:01.179
 inheritance

00:54:01.179 --> 00:54:02.199
 that's what

00:54:02.199 --> 00:54:02.659
 God the

00:54:02.659 --> 00:54:03.420
 father does

00:54:03.420 --> 00:54:04.019
 through his

00:54:04.019 --> 00:54:04.299
 son

00:54:04.299 --> 00:54:04.599
 Jesus

00:54:04.599 --> 00:54:04.980
 Christ

00:54:04.980 --> 00:54:05.400
 because

00:54:05.400 --> 00:54:05.739
 Jesus

00:54:05.739 --> 00:54:06.099
 is the

00:54:06.099 --> 00:54:06.400
 son of

00:54:06.400 --> 00:54:06.679
 God

00:54:06.679 --> 00:54:07.039
 who

00:54:07.039 --> 00:54:07.659
 represents

00:54:07.659 --> 00:54:08.420
 and restores

00:54:08.420 --> 00:54:08.920
 humanity

00:54:08.920 --> 00:54:09.339
 to their

00:54:09.339 --> 00:54:09.759
 rightful

00:54:09.759 --> 00:54:10.719
 relationship

00:54:10.719 --> 00:54:11.619
 with

00:54:11.619 --> 00:54:12.259
 God

00:54:12.260 --> 00:54:13.640
 long

00:54:13.640 --> 00:54:13.660
 long

00:54:13.660 --> 00:54:13.680
 long

00:54:13.680 --> 00:54:14.020
 after

00:54:14.020 --> 00:54:14.300
 that

00:54:14.300 --> 00:54:14.660
 voice

00:54:14.660 --> 00:54:14.880
 from

00:54:14.880 --> 00:54:15.120
 heaven

00:54:15.120 --> 00:54:15.480
 saying

00:54:15.480 --> 00:54:15.700
 this

00:54:15.700 --> 00:54:15.820
 is

00:54:15.820 --> 00:54:15.980
 my

00:54:15.980 --> 00:54:16.300
 beloved

00:54:16.300 --> 00:54:16.740
 son

00:54:16.740 --> 00:54:17.260
 have

00:54:17.260 --> 00:54:17.640
 faded

00:54:17.640 --> 00:54:18.220
 and receded

00:54:18.220 --> 00:54:18.520
 into the

00:54:18.520 --> 00:54:19.020
 background

00:54:19.020 --> 00:54:19.580
 in the

00:54:19.580 --> 00:54:19.920
 wilderness

00:54:19.920 --> 00:54:20.400
 of 40

00:54:20.400 --> 00:54:20.660
 days

00:54:20.660 --> 00:54:21.160
 of fasting

00:54:21.160 --> 00:54:21.460
 and when

00:54:21.460 --> 00:54:22.040
 he's receiving

00:54:22.040 --> 00:54:22.980
 these temptations

00:54:22.980 --> 00:54:23.659
 Jesus

00:54:23.659 --> 00:54:24.719
 must hold fast

00:54:24.719 --> 00:54:25.400
 to his

00:54:25.400 --> 00:54:25.880
 identity

00:54:25.880 --> 00:54:26.679
 as the

00:54:26.679 --> 00:54:27.079
 son of

00:54:27.079 --> 00:54:27.320
 God

00:54:27.320 --> 00:54:27.940
 and that's

00:54:27.940 --> 00:54:28.219
 our

00:54:28.219 --> 00:54:28.679
 calling

00:54:28.679 --> 00:54:29.199
 for us

00:54:29.199 --> 00:54:29.880
 as well

00:54:29.880 --> 00:54:30.639
 when you're

00:54:30.639 --> 00:54:31.079
 tempted

00:54:31.079 --> 00:54:31.760
 in these

00:54:31.760 --> 00:54:32.240
 ways to

00:54:32.240 --> 00:54:32.679
 neglect

00:54:32.679 --> 00:54:32.840
 that

00:54:32.840 --> 00:54:33.119
 when you're

00:54:33.119 --> 00:54:33.480
 tempted

00:54:33.480 --> 00:54:34.559
 to question

00:54:34.559 --> 00:54:34.880
 when the

00:54:34.880 --> 00:54:35.500
 devil asks

00:54:35.500 --> 00:54:35.740
 you

00:54:35.740 --> 00:54:36.360
 aren't you

00:54:36.360 --> 00:54:36.780
 the child

00:54:36.780 --> 00:54:37.280
 of God

00:54:37.280 --> 00:54:39.260
 does God

00:54:39.260 --> 00:54:39.920
 really care

00:54:39.920 --> 00:54:40.440
 is he really

00:54:40.440 --> 00:54:41.059
 with you

00:54:41.059 --> 00:54:41.820
 you must

00:54:41.820 --> 00:54:42.579
 remember the

00:54:42.579 --> 00:54:43.139
 voice of God

00:54:43.139 --> 00:54:43.740
 that says

00:54:43.740 --> 00:54:44.599
 this is my

00:54:44.599 --> 00:54:45.099
 beloved

00:54:45.099 --> 00:54:46.380
 child

00:54:46.380 --> 00:54:49.179
 perhaps you're

00:54:49.179 --> 00:54:49.960
 telling yourself

00:54:49.960 --> 00:54:51.579
 sure if I

00:54:51.579 --> 00:54:51.900
 heard the

00:54:51.900 --> 00:54:52.260
 voice of

00:54:52.260 --> 00:54:52.519
 God

00:54:52.519 --> 00:54:53.280
 speaking from

00:54:53.280 --> 00:54:53.579
 heaven

00:54:53.579 --> 00:54:54.220
 announcing that

00:54:54.220 --> 00:54:54.500
 I'm the

00:54:54.500 --> 00:54:54.840
 child of

00:54:54.840 --> 00:54:55.039
 God

00:54:55.039 --> 00:54:55.539
 well then I

00:54:55.539 --> 00:54:56.079
 too will

00:54:56.079 --> 00:54:57.000
 have unwavering

00:54:57.000 --> 00:54:57.340
 faith

00:54:57.340 --> 00:54:58.460
 like Jesus

00:54:58.460 --> 00:55:02.220
 but we

00:55:02.220 --> 00:55:04.179
 do have

00:55:04.179 --> 00:55:04.800
 that assurance

00:55:04.800 --> 00:55:06.320
 because Romans

00:55:06.320 --> 00:55:07.360
 8 15

00:55:07.360 --> 00:55:07.880
 to 16

00:55:07.880 --> 00:55:08.539
 tells us

00:55:08.539 --> 00:55:08.840
 this

00:55:08.840 --> 00:55:09.860
 we have

00:55:09.860 --> 00:55:11.099
 we do not

00:55:11.099 --> 00:55:11.800
 receive

00:55:11.800 --> 00:55:12.820
 the spirit

00:55:12.820 --> 00:55:13.440
 of slavery

00:55:13.440 --> 00:55:13.980
 to fall

00:55:13.980 --> 00:55:14.500
 back into

00:55:14.500 --> 00:55:15.019
 fear

00:55:15.019 --> 00:55:15.860
 but you

00:55:15.860 --> 00:55:16.720
 have received

00:55:16.720 --> 00:55:17.420
 the spirit

00:55:17.420 --> 00:55:18.220
 of adoption

00:55:18.220 --> 00:55:19.320
 as sons

00:55:19.320 --> 00:55:20.120
 by whom

00:55:20.120 --> 00:55:20.860
 we cry

00:55:20.860 --> 00:55:21.400
 Abba

00:55:21.400 --> 00:55:21.780
 father

00:55:21.780 --> 00:55:24.080
 the spirit

00:55:24.080 --> 00:55:25.120
 himself bears

00:55:25.120 --> 00:55:25.700
 witness with

00:55:25.700 --> 00:55:26.240
 our spirit

00:55:26.240 --> 00:55:27.000
 that we

00:55:27.000 --> 00:55:28.280
 are children

00:55:28.280 --> 00:55:29.300
 of God

00:55:29.300 --> 00:55:31.840
 this is not

00:55:31.840 --> 00:55:32.220
 projected

00:55:32.220 --> 00:55:32.660
 there but

00:55:32.660 --> 00:55:33.300
 continues in

00:55:33.300 --> 00:55:33.900
 verse 17

00:55:33.900 --> 00:55:34.720
 if children

00:55:34.720 --> 00:55:35.840
 then heirs

00:55:35.840 --> 00:55:36.720
 heirs of

00:55:36.720 --> 00:55:37.260
 God and

00:55:37.260 --> 00:55:38.120
 fellow heirs

00:55:38.120 --> 00:55:39.059
 with Christ

00:55:39.059 --> 00:55:40.180
 provided we

00:55:40.180 --> 00:55:40.900
 suffer with

00:55:40.900 --> 00:55:41.380
 him in order

00:55:41.380 --> 00:55:41.720
 that we may

00:55:41.720 --> 00:55:42.280
 also be

00:55:42.280 --> 00:55:43.080
 glorified

00:55:43.080 --> 00:55:44.000
 with him

00:55:44.000 --> 00:55:44.800
 we have

00:55:44.800 --> 00:55:45.220
 the very

00:55:45.220 --> 00:55:45.920
 spirit of

00:55:45.920 --> 00:55:46.160
 God

00:55:46.160 --> 00:55:46.840
 the same

00:55:46.840 --> 00:55:47.360
 spirit of

00:55:47.360 --> 00:55:47.660
 God who

00:55:47.660 --> 00:55:48.380
 descended like

00:55:48.380 --> 00:55:48.720
 a dove

00:55:48.720 --> 00:55:49.300
 unto Jesus

00:55:49.300 --> 00:55:49.840
 we have

00:55:49.840 --> 00:55:50.140
 the very

00:55:50.140 --> 00:55:50.680
 spirit of

00:55:50.680 --> 00:55:50.840
 God

00:55:50.840 --> 00:55:51.300
 indwelling

00:55:51.300 --> 00:55:51.680
 us

00:55:51.680 --> 00:55:52.539
 and assuring

00:55:52.539 --> 00:55:52.960
 us

00:55:52.960 --> 00:55:53.420
 that we

00:55:53.420 --> 00:55:54.080
 are adopted

00:55:54.080 --> 00:55:54.620
 children of

00:55:54.620 --> 00:55:54.840
 God

00:55:54.840 --> 00:55:55.320
 so that we

00:55:55.320 --> 00:55:55.700
 can cry

00:55:55.700 --> 00:55:56.100
 out to

00:55:56.100 --> 00:55:56.400
 God the

00:55:56.400 --> 00:55:56.700
 father

00:55:56.700 --> 00:55:57.260
 as Abba

00:55:57.260 --> 00:55:57.760
 father

00:55:57.760 --> 00:55:58.440
 and that

00:55:58.440 --> 00:55:58.860
 we can

00:55:58.860 --> 00:55:59.480
 be assured

00:55:59.480 --> 00:55:59.800
 that we

00:55:59.800 --> 00:56:00.280
 are heirs

00:56:00.280 --> 00:56:01.160
 with Jesus

00:56:01.160 --> 00:56:01.600
 Christ

00:56:01.600 --> 00:56:02.080
 that he

00:56:02.080 --> 00:56:02.380
 is our

00:56:02.380 --> 00:56:03.100
 fellow heir

00:56:03.100 --> 00:56:03.519
 that he

00:56:03.519 --> 00:56:03.800
 is our

00:56:03.800 --> 00:56:04.200
 brother

00:56:04.200 --> 00:56:04.800
 in the

00:56:04.800 --> 00:56:04.980
 kingdom

00:56:04.980 --> 00:56:05.460
 of God

00:56:05.460 --> 00:56:06.000
 that we

00:56:06.000 --> 00:56:06.360
 will be

00:56:06.360 --> 00:56:06.820
 glorified

00:56:06.820 --> 00:56:07.300
 with him

00:56:07.300 --> 00:56:07.900
 because we

00:56:07.900 --> 00:56:08.200
 have that

00:56:08.200 --> 00:56:08.660
 assurance

00:56:08.660 --> 00:56:10.019
 we can

00:56:10.019 --> 00:56:10.860
 stand fast

00:56:10.860 --> 00:56:11.720
 in temptations

00:56:11.720 --> 00:56:14.539
 hold fast

00:56:14.539 --> 00:56:14.720
 to our

00:56:14.720 --> 00:56:15.120
 identity

00:56:15.119 --> 00:56:20.039
 we are

00:56:20.039 --> 00:56:21.199
 children of

00:56:21.199 --> 00:56:21.440
 God

00:56:21.440 --> 00:56:23.859
 take a

00:56:23.859 --> 00:56:24.279
 moment now

00:56:24.279 --> 00:56:24.639
 to just

00:56:24.639 --> 00:56:25.219
 reflect on

00:56:25.219 --> 00:56:25.819
 that reality

00:56:25.819 --> 00:56:28.880
 in what

00:56:28.880 --> 00:56:29.599
 ways has

00:56:29.599 --> 00:56:30.139
 Satan

00:56:30.139 --> 00:56:32.400
 challenged

00:56:32.400 --> 00:56:34.299
 your identity

00:56:34.299 --> 00:56:35.000
 in Christ

00:56:35.000 --> 00:56:43.179
 in what

00:56:43.179 --> 00:56:43.820
 ways have

00:56:43.820 --> 00:56:44.079
 you

00:56:44.079 --> 00:56:44.639
 failed to

00:56:44.639 --> 00:56:45.079
 trust

00:56:45.079 --> 00:56:46.099
 Christ

00:56:46.099 --> 00:56:46.679
 as the

00:56:46.679 --> 00:56:47.059
 son of

00:56:47.059 --> 00:56:47.360
 God

00:56:47.360 --> 00:56:47.739
 who

00:56:47.739 --> 00:56:48.400
 restores

00:56:48.400 --> 00:56:49.300
 you

00:56:49.300 --> 00:56:50.139
 to right

00:56:50.139 --> 00:56:50.619
 relationship

00:56:50.619 --> 00:56:51.079
 with him

00:56:51.079 --> 00:56:52.780
 take a

00:56:52.780 --> 00:56:53.139
 moment and

00:56:53.139 --> 00:56:53.780
 afterward we

00:56:53.780 --> 00:56:54.679
 will respond

00:56:54.679 --> 00:56:55.159
 by praying

00:56:55.159 --> 00:56:55.539
 out loud

00:56:55.539 --> 00:56:55.900
 together

00:56:55.900 --> 00:56:56.360
 as a

00:56:56.360 --> 00:56:56.619
 church

00:56:56.619 --> 00:56:57.619
 you
