00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.400
 I'll be reading from John chapter 13 verses 1 through 17.

00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:06.860
 This is our sermon text for today.

00:00:06.980 --> 00:00:08.919
 And as I read this and as you follow along,

00:00:09.019 --> 00:00:16.179
 remember that this is God's inspired, inerrant, infallible, clear and sufficient word.

00:00:17.300 --> 00:00:19.740
 After I'm done reading, I'll say this is the word of the Lord.

00:00:20.100 --> 00:00:21.760
 You can respond, thanks be to God.

00:00:23.400 --> 00:00:25.219
 Now before the feast of the Passover,

00:00:25.219 --> 00:00:30.119
 when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father,

00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:32.759
 having loved his own who were in the world,

00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:35.299
 he loved them to the end.

00:00:36.859 --> 00:00:42.500
 During supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot,

00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:44.799
 Simon's son, to betray him,

00:00:45.500 --> 00:00:49.840
 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands

00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:54.179
 and that he had come from God and was going back to God,

00:00:54.179 --> 00:00:55.899
 he rose from supper.

00:00:56.820 --> 00:00:59.719
 He laid aside his outer garments

00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:04.280
 and taking a towel, tied it around his waist.

00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:07.019
 Then he poured water into a basin

00:01:07.019 --> 00:01:11.239
 and began to wash the disciples' feet

00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:16.260
 and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:20.060
 He came to Simon Peter who said to him,

00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:22.980
 Lord, do you wash my feet?

00:01:22.980 --> 00:01:24.660
 Jesus answered him,

00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.939
 What I am doing, you do not understand now,

00:01:28.140 --> 00:01:30.620
 but afterward you will understand.

00:01:31.659 --> 00:01:32.700
 Peter said to him,

00:01:33.020 --> 00:01:34.719
 You shall never wash my feet.

00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:36.200
 Jesus answered him,

00:01:36.260 --> 00:01:37.920
 If I do not wash you,

00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.080
 you have no share with me.

00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:43.640
 Simon Peter said to him,

00:01:43.740 --> 00:01:45.680
 Lord, not only my feet,

00:01:46.020 --> 00:01:48.020
 but also my hands and my head.

00:01:48.019 --> 00:01:49.560
 Jesus said to him,

00:01:49.979 --> 00:01:54.280
 The one who has bathed does not need to wash except for his feet,

00:01:54.459 --> 00:01:56.579
 but is completely clean,

00:01:57.060 --> 00:01:58.719
 and you are clean,

00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.459
 but not every one of you.

00:02:02.019 --> 00:02:04.679
 For he knew who was to betray him.

00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:06.359
 That was why he said,

00:02:06.539 --> 00:02:07.979
 Not all of you are clean.

00:02:08.979 --> 00:02:10.680
 When he had washed their feet

00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:12.800
 and put on his outer garments

00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:14.820
 and resumed his place,

00:02:15.480 --> 00:02:16.280
 he said to them,

00:02:16.760 --> 00:02:18.360
 Do you understand

00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:20.219
 what I have done

00:02:20.219 --> 00:02:21.100
 to you?

00:02:22.100 --> 00:02:23.800
 You call me teacher and Lord,

00:02:23.860 --> 00:02:24.460
 and you are right,

00:02:24.540 --> 00:02:25.340
 for so I am.

00:02:26.060 --> 00:02:26.939
 If I then,

00:02:27.460 --> 00:02:28.420
 your Lord and teacher,

00:02:28.480 --> 00:02:29.740
 have washed your feet,

00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:31.640
 you also ought to wash

00:02:31.640 --> 00:02:32.620
 one another's feet.

00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:35.080
 For I have given you an example

00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:36.060
 that you should do

00:02:36.060 --> 00:02:37.960
 just as I have done to you.

00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:40.060
 Truly, truly,

00:02:40.460 --> 00:02:41.360
 I say to you,

00:02:41.460 --> 00:02:44.280
 a servant is not greater than his master,

00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:45.659
 nor is a messenger

00:02:45.659 --> 00:02:47.800
 greater than the one who sent him.

00:02:48.219 --> 00:02:49.700
 If you know these things,

00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:51.040
 blessed are you

00:02:51.040 --> 00:02:52.360
 if you do them.

00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:54.600
 This is the word of the Lord.

00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:56.040
 Thanks be to God.

00:02:56.939 --> 00:02:57.719
 And you may be seated.

00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:26.780
 Would you pray with me?

00:03:34.819 --> 00:03:37.740
 Lord, please open the eyes of our mind

00:03:37.740 --> 00:03:40.120
 open the eyes of our hearts

00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:41.260
 to behold Jesus.

00:03:44.260 --> 00:03:45.379
 Help us to see

00:03:45.379 --> 00:03:47.200
 our Lord Jesus Christ

00:03:47.200 --> 00:03:49.820
 in the upper room

00:03:49.820 --> 00:03:52.379
 serving

00:03:52.379 --> 00:03:54.700
 those you gave him.

00:03:55.540 --> 00:03:56.660
 And help us to see

00:03:56.660 --> 00:03:57.719
 Christ exalted,

00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:00.340
 having cleansed

00:04:00.340 --> 00:04:02.060
 all those you sent him

00:04:02.060 --> 00:04:02.780
 into the world

00:04:02.780 --> 00:04:04.460
 so that he would show

00:04:04.460 --> 00:04:06.400
 that you are love.

00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:08.080
 press home

00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:10.060
 this gospel truth

00:04:10.060 --> 00:04:10.840
 on our lives

00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:11.780
 and change us

00:04:11.780 --> 00:04:13.040
 as a result we ask

00:04:13.040 --> 00:04:14.300
 for Christ's sake.

00:04:14.460 --> 00:04:14.759
 Amen.

00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:23.939
 Beloved congregation

00:04:23.939 --> 00:04:26.120
 of our Lord Jesus Christ,

00:04:26.740 --> 00:04:27.980
 you need

00:04:27.980 --> 00:04:29.300
 the heavenly

00:04:29.300 --> 00:04:30.899
 servant's love.

00:04:30.899 --> 00:04:30.959
 love.

00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:34.639
 When you get home

00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:35.039
 later on,

00:04:35.099 --> 00:04:35.519
 you try to remember

00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:36.199
 what was the point

00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:36.979
 of the sermon today?

00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:38.639
 It's that you and I,

00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:39.319
 we need

00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:40.179
 the heavenly

00:04:40.179 --> 00:04:41.339
 servant's

00:04:41.339 --> 00:04:42.019
 love.

00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:44.699
 Let me read this

00:04:44.699 --> 00:04:45.519
 statement

00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:46.099
 and

00:04:46.099 --> 00:04:47.799
 decide if

00:04:47.799 --> 00:04:48.579
 you agree

00:04:48.579 --> 00:04:49.279
 or disagree

00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:50.939
 so your options

00:04:50.939 --> 00:04:51.379
 are true,

00:04:51.539 --> 00:04:51.819
 false,

00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:53.099
 or need more information.

00:04:53.219 --> 00:04:54.139
 You got those three options.

00:04:54.219 --> 00:04:55.259
 If I made you all stand up

00:04:55.259 --> 00:04:56.019
 and vote with your feet,

00:04:56.099 --> 00:04:56.679
 where would you go?

00:04:56.739 --> 00:04:57.359
 Here's the statement.

00:04:57.479 --> 00:04:57.639
 Ready?

00:04:57.639 --> 00:04:58.579
 I'm going to tell you

00:04:58.579 --> 00:04:59.039
 who it's from

00:04:59.039 --> 00:04:59.659
 in just a moment.

00:05:01.379 --> 00:05:01.680
 Quote,

00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:04.039
 Christianity has not been

00:05:04.039 --> 00:05:04.779
 tried

00:05:04.779 --> 00:05:06.319
 and found wanting.

00:05:07.019 --> 00:05:08.219
 Christianity has been

00:05:08.219 --> 00:05:09.139
 found difficult

00:05:09.139 --> 00:05:10.259
 and left

00:05:10.259 --> 00:05:10.919
 untried.

00:05:12.699 --> 00:05:13.360
 True,

00:05:13.939 --> 00:05:14.259
 false,

00:05:14.379 --> 00:05:15.379
 or need more information.

00:05:16.939 --> 00:05:17.560
 Do you want me to read it

00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:18.019
 one more time?

00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:19.639
 Christianity

00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:21.560
 has not been tried

00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:22.939
 and found wanting.

00:05:23.659 --> 00:05:24.680
 Christianity has been

00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:25.560
 found difficult

00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:26.379
 and left

00:05:26.379 --> 00:05:27.079
 untried.

00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:32.819
 This quote is by

00:05:32.819 --> 00:05:33.779
 G.K. Chesterton.

00:05:34.060 --> 00:05:34.439
 He was

00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:35.939
 English parliamentarian

00:05:35.939 --> 00:05:36.639
 at the time of

00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:37.839
 World War I.

00:05:38.719 --> 00:05:39.500
 There's a lot of

00:05:39.500 --> 00:05:40.279
 interesting facts

00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:40.939
 about this man.

00:05:41.039 --> 00:05:41.459
 He was also

00:05:41.459 --> 00:05:42.319
 a fiction writer.

00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:43.779
 He was also

00:05:43.779 --> 00:05:44.579
 Roman Catholic.

00:05:46.259 --> 00:05:47.139
 And I think that

00:05:47.139 --> 00:05:47.979
 he's writing this

00:05:47.979 --> 00:05:48.479
 in a way that

00:05:48.479 --> 00:05:48.979
 I would say

00:05:48.979 --> 00:05:49.680
 is mostly true.

00:05:50.379 --> 00:05:51.339
 It's mostly true

00:05:51.339 --> 00:05:52.240
 as an apologist

00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:52.779
 for,

00:05:53.060 --> 00:05:53.439
 you know,

00:05:53.500 --> 00:05:54.019
 arguing with

00:05:54.019 --> 00:05:54.839
 the atheists

00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:55.500
 of his day

00:05:55.500 --> 00:05:57.279
 that what we receive,

00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:58.319
 we receive by faith.

00:05:58.639 --> 00:05:59.319
 And you can say

00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:00.000
 from a rational,

00:06:00.159 --> 00:06:00.639
 humanistic,

00:06:00.819 --> 00:06:01.599
 secular standpoint,

00:06:01.739 --> 00:06:02.359
 it's difficult.

00:06:03.239 --> 00:06:03.639
 But

00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:05.699
 the Lord Jesus

00:06:05.699 --> 00:06:06.779
 reveals himself

00:06:06.779 --> 00:06:07.479
 and when you

00:06:07.479 --> 00:06:08.139
 behold him,

00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:09.519
 it's not difficult.

00:06:09.659 --> 00:06:10.079
 It's the most

00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:11.099
 natural response

00:06:11.099 --> 00:06:12.079
 is to obey

00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:12.859
 and believe him

00:06:12.859 --> 00:06:13.799
 and follow him.

00:06:15.579 --> 00:06:16.059
 Now,

00:06:16.179 --> 00:06:17.039
 the reality though

00:06:17.039 --> 00:06:17.879
 is when you believe

00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:18.799
 in Jesus Christ

00:06:18.799 --> 00:06:19.739
 and he says,

00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:20.579
 look to me,

00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:21.739
 look to this example,

00:06:21.859 --> 00:06:22.399
 you'll be blessed

00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:22.839
 if you do

00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:23.599
 as I have done.

00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:24.519
 That's how our

00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:25.339
 sermon text ended.

00:06:25.339 --> 00:06:27.500
 We look at

00:06:27.500 --> 00:06:28.500
 any story

00:06:28.500 --> 00:06:29.239
 of our Lord Jesus

00:06:29.239 --> 00:06:29.899
 in the Bible

00:06:29.899 --> 00:06:31.199
 and then I look

00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:31.879
 at my life

00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:33.259
 and it's not only

00:06:33.259 --> 00:06:33.659
 difficult,

00:06:33.779 --> 00:06:34.519
 it's impossible

00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:36.039
 by my own strength.

00:06:36.099 --> 00:06:36.759
 We just read this

00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:37.500
 in our catechism.

00:06:37.659 --> 00:06:38.560
 It is impossible

00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:39.339
 for me to present

00:06:39.339 --> 00:06:40.819
 anything to God

00:06:40.819 --> 00:06:41.719
 as a good work

00:06:41.719 --> 00:06:42.739
 that's not blemished

00:06:42.739 --> 00:06:43.419
 by my own

00:06:43.419 --> 00:06:44.419
 remaining sin.

00:06:49.379 --> 00:06:50.500
 I look to Jesus

00:06:50.500 --> 00:06:51.500
 and I see

00:06:51.500 --> 00:06:52.939
 my conscience

00:06:52.939 --> 00:06:53.659
 convicts me

00:06:53.660 --> 00:06:54.800
 and those

00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:55.920
 who are not

00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:56.540
 yet saved,

00:06:56.620 --> 00:06:57.140
 their conscience

00:06:57.140 --> 00:06:57.980
 convicts them

00:06:57.980 --> 00:06:59.120
 by looking at Jesus.

00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:00.939
 We are earthly,

00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:01.900
 we are proud,

00:07:02.100 --> 00:07:02.860
 we are selfish.

00:07:04.420 --> 00:07:04.620
 You know,

00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:05.380
 the term Christian

00:07:05.380 --> 00:07:06.700
 means little Christ,

00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:07.820
 a smaller or lesser

00:07:07.820 --> 00:07:09.240
 version of Christ.

00:07:10.660 --> 00:07:11.740
 And I cannot

00:07:11.740 --> 00:07:12.879
 imitate Christ

00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:14.060
 by my own strength,

00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:14.440
 can you?

00:07:15.320 --> 00:07:15.840
 Christianity

00:07:15.840 --> 00:07:16.600
 in that sense

00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:17.680
 is the most difficult.

00:07:17.780 --> 00:07:18.360
 It's impossible

00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:19.360
 to imitate Christ

00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:20.360
 by your own strength.

00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:21.580
 Adam could not

00:07:21.580 --> 00:07:22.360
 stand righteous

00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:23.100
 before God.

00:07:23.460 --> 00:07:24.100
 And we all

00:07:24.100 --> 00:07:25.180
 inherited that

00:07:25.180 --> 00:07:26.120
 sinful bent,

00:07:26.660 --> 00:07:27.660
 that inclination

00:07:27.660 --> 00:07:28.120
 of the will,

00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:28.840
 that bondage

00:07:28.840 --> 00:07:29.199
 of the will

00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:30.080
 to sin from Adam.

00:07:30.259 --> 00:07:31.180
 So it's even harder

00:07:31.180 --> 00:07:31.920
 for us than it was

00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:32.400
 for Adam.

00:07:33.220 --> 00:07:34.300
 I can't even love

00:07:34.300 --> 00:07:34.920
 my wife

00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:36.060
 or my kids

00:07:36.060 --> 00:07:37.560
 like Christ

00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:38.259
 would have me

00:07:38.259 --> 00:07:38.720
 love them

00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:39.840
 without the love

00:07:39.840 --> 00:07:40.340
 of Christ

00:07:40.340 --> 00:07:41.740
 loving them

00:07:41.740 --> 00:07:42.480
 through me.

00:07:43.580 --> 00:07:44.360
 Is that true

00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:45.080
 for you as well?

00:07:46.699 --> 00:07:47.660
 We need

00:07:47.660 --> 00:07:48.939
 the love

00:07:48.939 --> 00:07:50.080
 of heaven's

00:07:50.080 --> 00:07:50.360
 servant

00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:51.160
 inside of us,

00:07:51.220 --> 00:07:51.520
 don't we?

00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:52.759
 That's what

00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:53.960
 this scene

00:07:53.960 --> 00:07:54.340
 is about,

00:07:54.420 --> 00:07:55.280
 these first 17

00:07:55.280 --> 00:07:55.620
 verses.

00:07:55.780 --> 00:07:56.080
 And I want

00:07:56.080 --> 00:07:56.699
 to try to

00:07:56.699 --> 00:07:57.340
 develop this

00:07:57.340 --> 00:07:58.060
 theme that we

00:07:58.060 --> 00:07:58.879
 need the heavenly

00:07:58.879 --> 00:07:59.759
 servant's love

00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:01.100
 with five observations.

00:08:01.280 --> 00:08:01.780
 The first one

00:08:01.780 --> 00:08:02.300
 is this.

00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:03.980
 From just

00:08:03.980 --> 00:08:04.580
 verse 1,

00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:06.040
 the heavenly

00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:06.900
 servant came

00:08:06.900 --> 00:08:07.800
 into the world

00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:09.199
 because God

00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:10.920
 is love.

00:08:11.660 --> 00:08:12.480
 The heavenly

00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:13.199
 servant came

00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:14.080
 into the world

00:08:14.080 --> 00:08:15.780
 because God

00:08:15.780 --> 00:08:16.500
 is love.

00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:18.939
 Look at verse 1.

00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:19.980
 Before the feast

00:08:19.980 --> 00:08:20.740
 of the Passover,

00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:21.819
 when Jesus knew

00:08:21.819 --> 00:08:22.779
 that his hour

00:08:22.779 --> 00:08:23.420
 had come to

00:08:23.420 --> 00:08:24.060
 depart out

00:08:24.060 --> 00:08:24.500
 of the world,

00:08:24.659 --> 00:08:25.019
 to be,

00:08:26.159 --> 00:08:27.180
 depart out

00:08:27.180 --> 00:08:27.939
 of this world,

00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:29.180
 to return

00:08:29.180 --> 00:08:29.839
 to the Father,

00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:31.500
 notice what it

00:08:31.500 --> 00:08:31.920
 says next

00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:32.620
 in verse 1.

00:08:33.259 --> 00:08:34.460
 Having loved

00:08:34.460 --> 00:08:35.580
 his own

00:08:35.580 --> 00:08:36.519
 who were in

00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:37.039
 the world,

00:08:37.419 --> 00:08:38.299
 he loved them

00:08:38.299 --> 00:08:39.319
 to the end.

00:08:40.779 --> 00:08:41.439
 Sinclair Ferguson

00:08:41.439 --> 00:08:42.519
 said this first

00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:43.319
 verse is like a

00:08:43.319 --> 00:08:44.139
 prologue to this

00:08:44.139 --> 00:08:44.939
 whole second book.

00:08:45.019 --> 00:08:45.580
 The second book

00:08:45.580 --> 00:08:46.559
 is about the hour

00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:47.080
 of Christ.

00:08:47.340 --> 00:08:47.879
 It's about the

00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:48.259
 passion,

00:08:48.659 --> 00:08:49.220
 the death of

00:08:49.220 --> 00:08:49.539
 Christ.

00:08:49.539 --> 00:08:50.399
 And what you

00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:51.000
 need to remember

00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:51.939
 is that this

00:08:51.939 --> 00:08:52.779
 entire hour,

00:08:52.959 --> 00:08:53.439
 everything that

00:08:53.439 --> 00:08:54.120
 will take place,

00:08:54.219 --> 00:08:54.839
 Christ did.

00:08:54.980 --> 00:08:55.139
 Why?

00:08:55.839 --> 00:08:56.539
 For love.

00:08:57.019 --> 00:08:57.939
 His motive is

00:08:57.939 --> 00:08:59.039
 to reveal the

00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:00.259
 love that God

00:09:00.259 --> 00:09:01.620
 is to the world.

00:09:02.579 --> 00:09:03.399
 In Luke 22,

00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:04.500
 we get further

00:09:04.500 --> 00:09:05.019
 insights.

00:09:05.199 --> 00:09:06.000
 Luke 22 says

00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:07.039
 that they then

00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:07.679
 came the day

00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:08.439
 of unleavened bread.

00:09:08.539 --> 00:09:09.019
 That's how John

00:09:09.019 --> 00:09:09.959
 says before the

00:09:09.959 --> 00:09:10.480
 feast of the

00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:10.919
 Passover,

00:09:11.839 --> 00:09:12.399
 on which the

00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:13.059
 Passover lamb

00:09:13.059 --> 00:09:13.480
 had to be

00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:13.939
 sacrificed.

00:09:14.179 --> 00:09:14.719
 That's how Luke

00:09:14.719 --> 00:09:15.120
 told it.

00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:16.459
 And Luke tells

00:09:16.459 --> 00:09:17.319
 us it was Peter

00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:18.140
 and John.

00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:19.400
 So the author

00:09:19.400 --> 00:09:20.020
 of our gospel

00:09:20.020 --> 00:09:20.520
 here, Peter

00:09:20.520 --> 00:09:20.960
 and John,

00:09:21.020 --> 00:09:21.780
 they found a

00:09:21.780 --> 00:09:23.220
 man carrying a

00:09:23.220 --> 00:09:23.740
 jar of water

00:09:23.740 --> 00:09:24.379
 just as Christ

00:09:24.379 --> 00:09:24.940
 had instructed.

00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:25.520
 They followed

00:09:25.520 --> 00:09:26.540
 him there and

00:09:26.540 --> 00:09:26.980
 they prepared

00:09:26.980 --> 00:09:27.660
 the last supper.

00:09:28.379 --> 00:09:29.000
 That's what Luke

00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:29.520
 tells us.

00:09:29.780 --> 00:09:30.360
 Now John and

00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:31.220
 Peter, we get

00:09:31.220 --> 00:09:32.000
 wonderful insights

00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:32.520
 from these two

00:09:32.520 --> 00:09:33.060
 who prepared

00:09:33.060 --> 00:09:33.840
 this very feast,

00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:34.400
 prepared the

00:09:34.400 --> 00:09:35.440
 upper room in

00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:36.400
 which this all

00:09:36.400 --> 00:09:37.080
 takes place.

00:09:37.740 --> 00:09:38.300
 The Passover,

00:09:38.520 --> 00:09:38.960
 as we've seen,

00:09:39.020 --> 00:09:39.620
 is the day of

00:09:39.620 --> 00:09:40.440
 independence for

00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:41.040
 all of Israel.

00:09:41.460 --> 00:09:42.920
 It's July 4th.

00:09:43.180 --> 00:09:43.700
 It's a day of

00:09:43.700 --> 00:09:44.380
 patriotism.

00:09:44.660 --> 00:09:45.280
 It's a day of

00:09:45.280 --> 00:09:46.200
 revolution.

00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:47.259
 and taking

00:09:47.259 --> 00:09:48.620
 political control.

00:09:50.620 --> 00:09:51.540
 The blood of

00:09:51.540 --> 00:09:52.340
 Passover lambs

00:09:52.340 --> 00:09:53.200
 has already begun

00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:53.900
 flowing.

00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:56.759
 We have no

00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:57.520
 reason to

00:09:57.520 --> 00:09:59.020
 imagine anyone

00:09:59.020 --> 00:09:59.860
 else in this

00:09:59.860 --> 00:10:00.360
 upper room.

00:10:00.420 --> 00:10:00.940
 It seems like

00:10:00.940 --> 00:10:01.379
 Christ has

00:10:01.379 --> 00:10:01.820
 intentionally

00:10:01.820 --> 00:10:02.620
 prepared a

00:10:02.620 --> 00:10:03.700
 private place

00:10:03.700 --> 00:10:04.020
 where he's

00:10:04.020 --> 00:10:04.340
 going to give

00:10:04.340 --> 00:10:05.460
 us some very

00:10:05.460 --> 00:10:06.860
 insightful and

00:10:06.860 --> 00:10:07.780
 intimate details

00:10:07.780 --> 00:10:08.280
 into the

00:10:08.280 --> 00:10:08.800
 Father, Son,

00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:09.300
 and Spirit

00:10:09.300 --> 00:10:10.920
 in this upper

00:10:10.920 --> 00:10:11.259
 room.

00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:12.480
 So we can

00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:13.200
 picture a

00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:14.520
 quiet upper

00:10:14.520 --> 00:10:14.860
 room.

00:10:14.860 --> 00:10:16.539
 There's the

00:10:16.539 --> 00:10:17.279
 Passover table

00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:18.000
 set prepared

00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:18.800
 by John

00:10:18.800 --> 00:10:19.240
 and Peter.

00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:21.919
 There's a

00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:22.600
 jar of water

00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:23.840
 and there's

00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:24.340
 a towel.

00:10:26.379 --> 00:10:27.019
 There's the

00:10:27.019 --> 00:10:27.440
 Lord Jesus

00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:28.120
 Christ and

00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:28.440
 there's the

00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:28.720
 twelve

00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:29.240
 disciples.

00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:31.620
 The other

00:10:31.620 --> 00:10:32.120
 gospels,

00:10:32.379 --> 00:10:32.600
 Matthew,

00:10:32.700 --> 00:10:32.840
 Mark,

00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:33.139
 and Luke,

00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:34.019
 they describe

00:10:34.019 --> 00:10:35.440
 this final

00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:36.000
 hour of

00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:36.279
 Christ,

00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:36.840
 this final

00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:38.399
 passion from

00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:39.000
 the outside,

00:10:39.180 --> 00:10:39.700
 but it's the

00:10:39.700 --> 00:10:40.320
 fourth gospel

00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:41.039
 which was

00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:41.460
 written much

00:10:41.460 --> 00:10:42.060
 later by the

00:10:42.060 --> 00:10:42.700
 apostle John

00:10:42.700 --> 00:10:43.379
 that describes

00:10:43.379 --> 00:10:44.280
 this last

00:10:44.280 --> 00:10:45.120
 hour more

00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:45.540
 from the

00:10:45.540 --> 00:10:46.060
 inside.

00:10:46.540 --> 00:10:46.900
 And that's

00:10:46.900 --> 00:10:47.320
 what we get

00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:48.000
 from this

00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:48.440
 wonderful

00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:48.960
 account.

00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:50.620
 And John

00:10:50.620 --> 00:10:51.100
 wants you to

00:10:51.100 --> 00:10:51.660
 know that

00:10:51.660 --> 00:10:53.080
 the mind of

00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:53.879
 Christ was set.

00:10:54.460 --> 00:10:54.980
 He knew he

00:10:54.980 --> 00:10:55.340
 was going to

00:10:55.340 --> 00:10:56.160
 be departing

00:10:56.160 --> 00:10:56.620
 out of this

00:10:56.620 --> 00:10:57.000
 world and

00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:57.660
 returning to

00:10:57.660 --> 00:10:58.160
 the Father.

00:10:58.920 --> 00:10:59.420
 And having

00:10:59.420 --> 00:11:00.560
 loved the

00:11:00.560 --> 00:11:00.980
 ones God

00:11:00.980 --> 00:11:01.360
 gave him,

00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:01.980
 he loved

00:11:01.980 --> 00:11:02.900
 them to

00:11:02.900 --> 00:11:03.879
 the very

00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:04.400
 end.

00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:05.440
 That's the

00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:06.160
 impression John

00:11:06.160 --> 00:11:06.720
 has of this

00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:07.280
 whole account.

00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:07.399
 love.

00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:10.559
 It's God

00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:11.519
 himself who

00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:12.360
 shows this

00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:12.740
 love.

00:11:12.939 --> 00:11:13.279
 We started

00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:14.120
 this wonderful

00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:14.720
 gospel in

00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:15.579
 John 1.14

00:11:15.579 --> 00:11:16.039
 that the

00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:16.519
 word,

00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:17.299
 the word

00:11:17.299 --> 00:11:18.240
 became flesh

00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:19.559
 and dwelt

00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:20.100
 among us.

00:11:20.199 --> 00:11:20.459
 We have

00:11:20.459 --> 00:11:21.079
 seen his

00:11:21.079 --> 00:11:21.579
 glory,

00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:22.740
 glory as

00:11:22.740 --> 00:11:23.240
 of the

00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:23.919
 only son

00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:24.860
 from the

00:11:24.860 --> 00:11:25.240
 father,

00:11:25.539 --> 00:11:26.539
 full of

00:11:26.539 --> 00:11:27.579
 grace and

00:11:27.579 --> 00:11:28.039
 truth.

00:11:28.579 --> 00:11:28.919
 And he

00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:29.339
 knows he

00:11:29.339 --> 00:11:29.559
 will be

00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:30.139
 returning to

00:11:30.139 --> 00:11:30.639
 the father

00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:32.059
 very soon.

00:11:32.139 --> 00:11:32.659
 His hour

00:11:32.659 --> 00:11:33.620
 to depart

00:11:33.620 --> 00:11:34.639
 has arrived.

00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:35.240
 And that

00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:35.600
 phrase,

00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:36.220
 to depart

00:11:36.220 --> 00:11:36.539
 out of

00:11:36.539 --> 00:11:37.039
 this world,

00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:37.740
 is a

00:11:37.740 --> 00:11:38.199
 Jewish way

00:11:38.199 --> 00:11:38.579
 of saying

00:11:38.579 --> 00:11:38.779
 they're

00:11:38.779 --> 00:11:38.980
 going to

00:11:38.980 --> 00:11:39.259
 die.

00:11:40.339 --> 00:11:40.759
 Listen to

00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:41.100
 how Paul

00:11:41.100 --> 00:11:41.480
 used this

00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:41.959
 same phrase

00:11:41.959 --> 00:11:42.579
 in Philippians

00:11:42.579 --> 00:11:42.819
 1.

00:11:42.939 --> 00:11:43.419
 Paul said,

00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:44.159
 remember he

00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:44.319
 said,

00:11:44.419 --> 00:11:44.860
 I'm caught

00:11:44.860 --> 00:11:45.379
 between two

00:11:45.379 --> 00:11:45.799
 things.

00:11:46.439 --> 00:11:46.759
 Paul said,

00:11:46.839 --> 00:11:47.500
 my desire

00:11:47.500 --> 00:11:48.000
 is to

00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:48.439
 depart

00:11:48.439 --> 00:11:49.620
 and be

00:11:49.620 --> 00:11:50.159
 with Christ.

00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:50.439
 There's

00:11:50.439 --> 00:11:51.100
 that phrase.

00:11:52.439 --> 00:11:52.839
 For that

00:11:52.839 --> 00:11:53.279
 is far

00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:53.579
 better.

00:11:54.740 --> 00:11:55.079
 In Hebrews

00:11:55.079 --> 00:11:55.459
 12,

00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:55.819
 it tells

00:11:55.819 --> 00:11:56.199
 us that

00:11:56.199 --> 00:11:56.740
 it was

00:11:56.740 --> 00:11:57.059
 for the

00:11:57.059 --> 00:11:57.799
 joy set

00:11:57.799 --> 00:11:58.480
 before him.

00:11:59.000 --> 00:11:59.699
 The joy.

00:12:00.299 --> 00:12:00.720
 That's why

00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:01.159
 Christ would

00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:01.639
 endure the

00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:02.120
 cross and

00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:02.559
 its shame.

00:12:03.500 --> 00:12:04.000
 So that's

00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:04.519
 the hour

00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:05.220
 and that's

00:12:05.220 --> 00:12:05.919
 the love

00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:06.419
 that's now

00:12:06.419 --> 00:12:07.199
 overflowing

00:12:07.199 --> 00:12:07.860
 from Christ

00:12:07.860 --> 00:12:08.479
 unto these

00:12:08.479 --> 00:12:08.979
 disciples.

00:12:09.740 --> 00:12:10.279
 The Son

00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:10.919
 of God,

00:12:11.539 --> 00:12:12.360
 God himself

00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:13.079
 in the flesh,

00:12:13.500 --> 00:12:13.779
 would be

00:12:13.779 --> 00:12:15.179
 returning to

00:12:15.179 --> 00:12:15.639
 the Father.

00:12:15.719 --> 00:12:16.039
 He would be

00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:16.379
 returning

00:12:16.379 --> 00:12:17.240
 victorious.

00:12:18.899 --> 00:12:19.559
 John 1.1,

00:12:19.620 --> 00:12:20.219
 in the beginning

00:12:20.219 --> 00:12:21.360
 was the Word

00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:21.899
 and the Word

00:12:21.899 --> 00:12:22.759
 was with God

00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:23.219
 and the Word

00:12:23.219 --> 00:12:24.360
 was God.

00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:25.159
 See,

00:12:25.219 --> 00:12:25.679
 it's God

00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:26.719
 himself who

00:12:26.719 --> 00:12:27.559
 is love

00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:28.120
 and who

00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:28.599
 would love

00:12:28.599 --> 00:12:29.279
 to the end.

00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:31.339
 John 10.30,

00:12:31.419 --> 00:12:31.759
 we saw,

00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:32.860
 I and

00:12:32.860 --> 00:12:33.399
 the Father

00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:34.080
 are one,

00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:34.819
 Jesus says.

00:12:35.980 --> 00:12:36.340
 And we'll

00:12:36.340 --> 00:12:36.659
 see in

00:12:36.659 --> 00:12:37.879
 chapter 17,

00:12:37.980 --> 00:12:38.480
 verse 1,

00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:39.000
 Jesus

00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:39.460
 prays,

00:12:39.539 --> 00:12:39.700
 You,

00:12:40.179 --> 00:12:40.439
 Father,

00:12:40.819 --> 00:12:41.259
 are in

00:12:41.259 --> 00:12:41.620
 me and

00:12:41.620 --> 00:12:42.279
 I in

00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:42.580
 you,

00:12:43.319 --> 00:12:43.740
 that they

00:12:43.740 --> 00:12:44.860
 also may

00:12:44.860 --> 00:12:45.399
 be in

00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:45.860
 us.

00:12:46.340 --> 00:12:46.980
 To show

00:12:46.980 --> 00:12:47.759
 the love

00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:48.259
 of God,

00:12:48.500 --> 00:12:49.039
 Jesus took

00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:49.679
 on flesh.

00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:50.519
 To show

00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:50.939
 the love

00:12:50.939 --> 00:12:51.299
 of God,

00:12:51.379 --> 00:12:52.220
 Jesus would

00:12:52.220 --> 00:12:52.700
 love them

00:12:52.700 --> 00:12:53.399
 to the end.

00:12:54.259 --> 00:12:54.679
 And to show

00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:55.059
 the love

00:12:55.059 --> 00:12:55.439
 of God,

00:12:55.500 --> 00:12:55.759
 he would

00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:57.139
 unite his

00:12:57.139 --> 00:12:57.620
 own with

00:12:57.620 --> 00:12:57.860
 him.

00:12:58.240 --> 00:12:58.679
 As he

00:12:58.679 --> 00:12:59.240
 prepares to

00:12:59.240 --> 00:12:59.679
 return to

00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:00.099
 the Father,

00:13:00.199 --> 00:13:00.479
 he is

00:13:00.479 --> 00:13:01.479
 returning as

00:13:01.479 --> 00:13:01.859
 one who

00:13:01.859 --> 00:13:02.439
 has showed

00:13:02.439 --> 00:13:03.000
 God's

00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:03.699
 perfect love

00:13:03.699 --> 00:13:04.500
 fully,

00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:05.319
 completely,

00:13:05.579 --> 00:13:06.239
 to the very

00:13:06.239 --> 00:13:06.639
 end.

00:13:07.500 --> 00:13:07.939
 I want to

00:13:07.939 --> 00:13:08.299
 drive that

00:13:08.299 --> 00:13:08.519
 home,

00:13:08.620 --> 00:13:09.739
 it's because

00:13:09.739 --> 00:13:10.539
 God is

00:13:10.539 --> 00:13:11.079
 love.

00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:12.479
 The Nicene

00:13:12.479 --> 00:13:13.099
 Creed says

00:13:13.099 --> 00:13:13.459
 that the

00:13:13.459 --> 00:13:13.799
 Son of

00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:14.059
 God,

00:13:14.199 --> 00:13:14.779
 begotten of

00:13:14.779 --> 00:13:15.239
 the Father,

00:13:15.599 --> 00:13:16.319
 only begotten,

00:13:16.359 --> 00:13:16.699
 that is,

00:13:16.979 --> 00:13:17.659
 of the substance

00:13:17.659 --> 00:13:18.359
 of the Father,

00:13:18.719 --> 00:13:19.379
 God of God,

00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:20.439
 light of light,

00:13:20.939 --> 00:13:21.639
 true God of

00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:22.179
 true God,

00:13:22.319 --> 00:13:22.839
 begotten,

00:13:23.019 --> 00:13:23.639
 not made,

00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:24.559
 of one

00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:25.419
 substance

00:13:25.419 --> 00:13:26.620
 with the

00:13:26.620 --> 00:13:27.000
 Father.

00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:29.620
 He had

00:13:29.620 --> 00:13:30.059
 come into

00:13:30.059 --> 00:13:30.419
 the world

00:13:30.419 --> 00:13:31.059
 to show

00:13:31.059 --> 00:13:31.840
 God his

00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:32.240
 love.

00:13:32.899 --> 00:13:33.259
 Now his

00:13:33.259 --> 00:13:33.679
 hour had

00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:34.100
 come to

00:13:34.100 --> 00:13:34.899
 depart out

00:13:34.899 --> 00:13:35.659
 of the

00:13:35.659 --> 00:13:36.019
 world.

00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:37.519
 Having loved

00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:38.100
 his own

00:13:38.100 --> 00:13:38.419
 who were

00:13:38.419 --> 00:13:38.740
 in the

00:13:38.740 --> 00:13:38.940
 world,

00:13:39.019 --> 00:13:39.440
 he loved

00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:40.220
 them to

00:13:40.220 --> 00:13:40.639
 the end.

00:13:40.700 --> 00:13:40.960
 You see

00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:41.340
 how John

00:13:41.340 --> 00:13:41.860
 keeps saying

00:13:41.860 --> 00:13:42.620
 God is

00:13:42.620 --> 00:13:43.019
 love.

00:13:43.460 --> 00:13:43.559
 He

00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:43.960
 loves,

00:13:44.220 --> 00:13:44.600
 he came

00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:44.940
 to show

00:13:44.940 --> 00:13:45.279
 the love,

00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:45.740
 he loved

00:13:45.740 --> 00:13:46.080
 to the

00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:46.460
 end.

00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:47.399
 39

00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:48.460
 times John

00:13:48.460 --> 00:13:49.259
 talks about

00:13:49.259 --> 00:13:49.820
 the love

00:13:49.820 --> 00:13:50.480
 of God

00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:51.120
 in Christ,

00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:51.500
 more than

00:13:51.500 --> 00:13:51.980
 any other

00:13:51.980 --> 00:13:52.299
 book in

00:13:52.299 --> 00:13:52.519
 the New

00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:52.879
 Testament.

00:13:54.139 --> 00:13:54.679
 So church,

00:13:55.220 --> 00:13:56.360
 it's because

00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:57.080
 God loved

00:13:57.080 --> 00:13:57.960
 the world,

00:13:58.139 --> 00:13:58.580
 it's because

00:13:58.580 --> 00:13:59.259
 God loved

00:13:59.259 --> 00:13:59.759
 you,

00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:00.980
 that he

00:14:00.980 --> 00:14:01.580
 sent his

00:14:01.580 --> 00:14:02.940
 only begotten

00:14:02.940 --> 00:14:03.440
 son,

00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:05.519
 that whosoever

00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:06.519
 believes in

00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:07.440
 him will

00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:08.300
 not perish,

00:14:08.680 --> 00:14:09.240
 but will

00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:10.700
 have everlasting

00:14:10.700 --> 00:14:11.940
 life in

00:14:11.940 --> 00:14:12.220
 him.

00:14:12.419 --> 00:14:13.259
 It's because

00:14:13.259 --> 00:14:14.500
 God is

00:14:14.500 --> 00:14:15.259
 love.

00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:18.019
 John 3

00:14:18.019 --> 00:14:18.779
 16 says,

00:14:19.100 --> 00:14:19.580
 without the

00:14:19.580 --> 00:14:20.080
 love of

00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:20.519
 heaven's

00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:20.820
 servant,

00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:21.779
 you perish.

00:14:23.100 --> 00:14:24.120
 Without his

00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:24.440
 love,

00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:25.340
 you perish.

00:14:25.340 --> 00:14:25.379
 perish.

00:14:25.820 --> 00:14:26.399
 It's so

00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:27.200
 that you

00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:27.740
 will not

00:14:27.740 --> 00:14:28.180
 perish,

00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:28.860
 but you

00:14:28.860 --> 00:14:29.340
 will have

00:14:29.340 --> 00:14:29.800
 everlasting

00:14:29.800 --> 00:14:30.420
 life that

00:14:30.420 --> 00:14:30.899
 Christ took

00:14:30.899 --> 00:14:31.220
 on the

00:14:31.220 --> 00:14:32.180
 flesh and

00:14:32.180 --> 00:14:32.560
 did his

00:14:32.560 --> 00:14:32.860
 work.

00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:33.560
 You need

00:14:33.560 --> 00:14:34.460
 his love

00:14:34.460 --> 00:14:35.180
 to not

00:14:35.180 --> 00:14:35.600
 perish.

00:14:38.540 --> 00:14:39.340
 God took

00:14:39.340 --> 00:14:39.639
 on the

00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:40.019
 flesh.

00:14:41.660 --> 00:14:42.220
 He

00:14:42.220 --> 00:14:42.660
 accomplished

00:14:42.660 --> 00:14:43.240
 his mission

00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:43.780
 because you

00:14:43.780 --> 00:14:44.100
 and I

00:14:44.100 --> 00:14:45.899
 need the

00:14:45.899 --> 00:14:46.660
 love of

00:14:46.660 --> 00:14:47.120
 heaven's

00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:47.420
 servant.

00:14:48.899 --> 00:14:49.440
 Second

00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:49.980
 observation,

00:14:51.400 --> 00:14:52.200
 this heavenly

00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:52.720
 servant,

00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:54.120
 God himself,

00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:55.480
 is the

00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:56.220
 seed of

00:14:56.220 --> 00:14:56.639
 Eve.

00:14:57.299 --> 00:14:57.679
 It is

00:14:57.679 --> 00:14:57.899
 the

00:14:57.899 --> 00:14:59.860
 son and

00:14:59.860 --> 00:15:00.000
 the

00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:00.399
 triune

00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:00.759
 God.

00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:02.899
 The heavenly

00:15:02.899 --> 00:15:03.580
 servant is

00:15:03.580 --> 00:15:04.200
 the seed of

00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:06.419
 Eve and

00:15:06.419 --> 00:15:07.740
 the son of

00:15:07.740 --> 00:15:08.419
 God himself.

00:15:09.259 --> 00:15:09.720
 Look at

00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:10.200
 verse 2,

00:15:10.580 --> 00:15:10.980
 3,

00:15:11.060 --> 00:15:11.460
 and 4.

00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:14.720
 Why do I

00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:15.320
 say that

00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:16.919
 this servant

00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:17.679
 from heaven,

00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:19.180
 it's also

00:15:19.180 --> 00:15:19.639
 important that

00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:20.120
 this is the

00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:20.500
 seed of

00:15:20.500 --> 00:15:20.759
 Eve?

00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:21.700
 Look at

00:15:21.700 --> 00:15:22.100
 the battle

00:15:22.100 --> 00:15:22.519
 that's going

00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:22.879
 on in

00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:23.319
 verse 2.

00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:23.740
 During

00:15:23.740 --> 00:15:24.179
 supper,

00:15:26.059 --> 00:15:26.419
 when the

00:15:26.419 --> 00:15:26.779
 devil,

00:15:27.740 --> 00:15:28.340
 when Satan

00:15:28.340 --> 00:15:29.059
 had already

00:15:29.059 --> 00:15:29.980
 put it into

00:15:29.980 --> 00:15:30.919
 the heart

00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:31.500
 of Judas,

00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:32.720
 Iscariot,

00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:33.759
 Simon's son,

00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:34.759
 to betray

00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:35.700
 Jesus.

00:15:37.659 --> 00:15:38.519
 This great

00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:39.019
 battle has

00:15:39.019 --> 00:15:39.539
 been raging

00:15:39.539 --> 00:15:40.059
 on since

00:15:40.059 --> 00:15:40.600
 the garden.

00:15:42.779 --> 00:15:43.620
 The devil

00:15:43.620 --> 00:15:44.419
 put it in

00:15:44.419 --> 00:15:45.059
 Eve's heart

00:15:45.059 --> 00:15:45.399
 and in

00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:45.919
 Adam's heart

00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:46.379
 to break

00:15:46.379 --> 00:15:46.840
 the covenant

00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:47.439
 with God.

00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:50.360
 the devil

00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:50.860
 put it in

00:15:50.860 --> 00:15:51.400
 their son,

00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:51.800
 Cain,

00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:52.640
 in his

00:15:52.640 --> 00:15:53.000
 heart to

00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:53.500
 slay his

00:15:53.500 --> 00:15:54.680
 brother and

00:15:54.680 --> 00:15:54.980
 murder.

00:15:56.260 --> 00:15:56.860
 Satan had

00:15:56.860 --> 00:15:57.340
 put it in

00:15:57.340 --> 00:15:57.760
 Pharaoh's

00:15:57.760 --> 00:15:58.120
 heart to

00:15:58.120 --> 00:15:59.320
 kill all

00:15:59.320 --> 00:15:59.720
 those who

00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:00.220
 might be a

00:16:00.220 --> 00:16:00.740
 threat to

00:16:00.740 --> 00:16:01.020
 Satan,

00:16:01.160 --> 00:16:01.700
 the seed,

00:16:02.060 --> 00:16:02.480
 the promised

00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:02.980
 seed in the

00:16:02.980 --> 00:16:03.460
 covenant of

00:16:03.460 --> 00:16:03.840
 grace.

00:16:04.520 --> 00:16:04.980
 Satan put

00:16:04.980 --> 00:16:05.280
 it in

00:16:05.280 --> 00:16:05.740
 Haman's

00:16:05.740 --> 00:16:06.600
 heart to

00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:07.100
 wipe out

00:16:07.100 --> 00:16:07.500
 all the

00:16:07.500 --> 00:16:07.860
 Jews in

00:16:07.860 --> 00:16:08.200
 the story

00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:08.720
 with Esther.

00:16:08.800 --> 00:16:08.880
 You

00:16:08.880 --> 00:16:09.100
 remember

00:16:09.100 --> 00:16:09.360
 that?

00:16:11.620 --> 00:16:12.060
 Satan

00:16:12.060 --> 00:16:12.420
 had put

00:16:12.420 --> 00:16:12.700
 it in

00:16:12.700 --> 00:16:13.080
 Herod's

00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:13.440
 heart to

00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:13.780
 kill all

00:16:13.780 --> 00:16:14.080
 the baby

00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:15.280
 boys because

00:16:15.280 --> 00:16:15.800
 the seed

00:16:15.800 --> 00:16:16.340
 is coming

00:16:16.340 --> 00:16:16.900
 that will

00:16:16.900 --> 00:16:17.360
 crush his

00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:17.600
 head.

00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:19.080
 Satan had

00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:19.700
 put it in

00:16:19.700 --> 00:16:20.340
 Peter's

00:16:20.340 --> 00:16:20.779
 heart to

00:16:20.779 --> 00:16:21.200
 detour

00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:21.779
 Christ from

00:16:21.779 --> 00:16:22.340
 the cross.

00:16:23.680 --> 00:16:24.759
 Jesus saw

00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:25.639
 Satan lurking

00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:26.600
 behind even

00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:27.560
 Peter and

00:16:27.560 --> 00:16:27.700
 said,

00:16:27.860 --> 00:16:28.220
 get behind

00:16:28.220 --> 00:16:28.460
 me,

00:16:28.860 --> 00:16:29.080
 Satan.

00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:30.379
 There's a

00:16:30.379 --> 00:16:31.100
 great battle

00:16:31.100 --> 00:16:31.460
 that's been

00:16:31.460 --> 00:16:32.019
 going on

00:16:32.019 --> 00:16:33.720
 between the

00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:34.060
 serpent,

00:16:34.560 --> 00:16:34.800
 Satan,

00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:35.320
 the devil,

00:16:35.700 --> 00:16:36.240
 and Jesus

00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:36.759
 Christ,

00:16:37.019 --> 00:16:37.519
 the seed of

00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:37.879
 the woman

00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:38.180
 who would

00:16:38.180 --> 00:16:38.659
 crush the

00:16:38.659 --> 00:16:39.000
 devil's

00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:39.200
 head.

00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:42.060
 We saw

00:16:42.060 --> 00:16:42.500
 last week

00:16:42.500 --> 00:16:42.860
 how Jesus

00:16:42.860 --> 00:16:43.200
 said,

00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:43.779
 by my

00:16:43.779 --> 00:16:44.259
 work I

00:16:44.259 --> 00:16:44.779
 will cast

00:16:44.779 --> 00:16:45.159
 down

00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:45.560
 Satan.

00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:46.559
 Satan

00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:48.679
 is not

00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:50.079
 bound for

00:16:50.079 --> 00:16:50.919
 eternity in

00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:51.319
 the chains

00:16:51.319 --> 00:16:51.639
 of hell

00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:51.919
 yet.

00:16:52.019 --> 00:16:52.500
 He still

00:16:52.500 --> 00:16:53.739
 tries to

00:16:53.739 --> 00:16:53.939
 cause

00:16:53.939 --> 00:16:54.479
 destruction.

00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:54.879
 Now God

00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:55.500
 is victorious.

00:16:57.219 --> 00:16:57.459
 Have you

00:16:57.459 --> 00:16:58.059
 ever wondered,

00:16:58.419 --> 00:16:59.759
 I'm not even

00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:00.159
 going to ask you

00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:00.659
 if you've had

00:17:00.659 --> 00:17:01.299
 a dark

00:17:01.299 --> 00:17:01.599
 thought.

00:17:02.119 --> 00:17:02.879
 Every sinner

00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:03.259
 has,

00:17:03.339 --> 00:17:03.859
 which we all

00:17:03.859 --> 00:17:04.099
 are.

00:17:05.259 --> 00:17:05.579
 Have you

00:17:05.579 --> 00:17:06.059
 ever wondered

00:17:06.059 --> 00:17:06.259
 though,

00:17:06.460 --> 00:17:06.859
 how could

00:17:06.859 --> 00:17:07.379
 such a

00:17:07.379 --> 00:17:07.879
 dark

00:17:07.879 --> 00:17:08.519
 thought

00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:08.980
 come into

00:17:08.980 --> 00:17:09.179
 you?

00:17:10.179 --> 00:17:11.039
 Satan wants

00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:11.359
 to do

00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:11.579
 that.

00:17:11.700 --> 00:17:12.099
 He wants

00:17:12.099 --> 00:17:12.359
 to

00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:13.059
 pollute

00:17:13.059 --> 00:17:13.259
 our

00:17:13.259 --> 00:17:13.659
 thinking.

00:17:14.199 --> 00:17:14.459
 He wants

00:17:14.459 --> 00:17:15.019
 to corrupt

00:17:15.019 --> 00:17:15.759
 our minds.

00:17:16.539 --> 00:17:16.719
 And he

00:17:16.719 --> 00:17:17.039
 wants to

00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:17.759
 accuse us

00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:18.199
 against one

00:17:18.199 --> 00:17:18.659
 another and

00:17:18.659 --> 00:17:19.299
 against God.

00:17:21.500 --> 00:17:22.319
 The devil

00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:23.039
 put it in

00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:23.379
 Judas'

00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:24.500
 heart to

00:17:24.500 --> 00:17:24.839
 betray

00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:25.279
 Jesus.

00:17:27.619 --> 00:17:28.480
 I was

00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:29.139
 encouraged

00:17:29.139 --> 00:17:29.759
 just to

00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:30.019
 hear,

00:17:31.439 --> 00:17:31.879
 I'll say

00:17:31.879 --> 00:17:32.159
 he's one

00:17:32.159 --> 00:17:32.379
 of my

00:17:32.379 --> 00:17:32.679
 favorite

00:17:32.679 --> 00:17:33.319
 Jedis,

00:17:33.719 --> 00:17:34.299
 and it's

00:17:34.299 --> 00:17:35.559
 a Scottish

00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:35.939
 Reformed

00:17:35.939 --> 00:17:36.259
 Baptist

00:17:36.259 --> 00:17:36.759
 pastor.

00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:38.179
 It's

00:17:38.179 --> 00:17:38.619
 Alistair

00:17:38.619 --> 00:17:38.879
 Begg.

00:17:38.959 --> 00:17:39.480
 He said,

00:17:39.699 --> 00:17:40.139
 if you

00:17:40.139 --> 00:17:40.519
 knew,

00:17:40.779 --> 00:17:41.119
 congregation,

00:17:41.399 --> 00:17:41.679
 if you

00:17:41.679 --> 00:17:41.959
 knew,

00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:43.039
 the darkest

00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:43.399
 thoughts,

00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:44.079
 something like

00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:44.240
 this,

00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:44.759
 if the darkest

00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:45.219
 thoughts that

00:17:45.219 --> 00:17:45.579
 have passed

00:17:45.579 --> 00:17:45.959
 through my

00:17:45.959 --> 00:17:46.199
 mind,

00:17:46.259 --> 00:17:46.439
 you would

00:17:46.439 --> 00:17:46.719
 not want

00:17:46.719 --> 00:17:46.859
 to be

00:17:46.859 --> 00:17:47.099
 in this

00:17:47.099 --> 00:17:47.419
 church.

00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:48.299
 And then

00:17:48.299 --> 00:17:48.579
 he said,

00:17:48.639 --> 00:17:49.019
 if I knew

00:17:49.019 --> 00:17:49.379
 the darkest

00:17:49.379 --> 00:17:49.779
 thoughts that

00:17:49.779 --> 00:17:50.039
 have come

00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:50.379
 into your

00:17:50.379 --> 00:17:50.599
 hearts,

00:17:50.639 --> 00:17:50.899
 I would

00:17:50.899 --> 00:17:51.159
 not want

00:17:51.159 --> 00:17:51.339
 to be

00:17:51.339 --> 00:17:51.579
 in your

00:17:51.579 --> 00:17:51.859
 church.

00:17:52.579 --> 00:17:52.939
 That's

00:17:52.939 --> 00:17:53.259
 what God

00:17:53.259 --> 00:17:53.539
 does.

00:17:53.619 --> 00:17:54.000
 He takes

00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:54.199
 these

00:17:54.199 --> 00:17:54.599
 disciples

00:17:54.599 --> 00:17:55.219
 like Peter,

00:17:55.639 --> 00:17:56.279
 like everyone

00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:56.719
 in the Bible

00:17:56.719 --> 00:17:57.079
 that we've

00:17:57.079 --> 00:17:57.319
 seen,

00:17:57.379 --> 00:17:57.619
 and there's

00:17:57.619 --> 00:17:58.219
 that battle

00:17:58.219 --> 00:17:58.619
 and Christ

00:17:58.619 --> 00:17:58.799
 says,

00:17:58.899 --> 00:17:59.039
 no,

00:17:59.439 --> 00:17:59.679
 Satan,

00:17:59.980 --> 00:18:00.359
 you don't

00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:00.740
 get this

00:18:00.740 --> 00:18:00.899
 one.

00:18:01.199 --> 00:18:01.599
 This one

00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:02.079
 is mine.

00:18:02.899 --> 00:18:03.259
 You get

00:18:03.259 --> 00:18:03.519
 out of

00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:03.679
 here.

00:18:03.859 --> 00:18:04.119
 You get

00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:04.480
 behind

00:18:12.099 --> 00:18:12.719
 with Judas,

00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:13.659
 not as

00:18:13.659 --> 00:18:14.119
 Peter being

00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:14.839
 the perfect

00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:15.279
 sinless

00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:15.539
 man,

00:18:15.619 --> 00:18:15.759
 no,

00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:16.379
 the opposite.

00:18:16.819 --> 00:18:17.240
 Both

00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:17.980
 men standing

00:18:17.980 --> 00:18:18.299
 in need

00:18:18.299 --> 00:18:18.859
 of grace.

00:18:19.679 --> 00:18:20.039
 So pay

00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:20.519
 attention to

00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:21.099
 that contrast

00:18:21.099 --> 00:18:21.679
 which has

00:18:21.679 --> 00:18:22.179
 begun right

00:18:22.179 --> 00:18:22.439
 now.

00:18:24.959 --> 00:18:25.439
 Church,

00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:25.759
 I want to

00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:26.199
 encourage you

00:18:26.199 --> 00:18:26.619
 as well.

00:18:26.959 --> 00:18:27.419
 When Satan

00:18:27.419 --> 00:18:28.179
 does put it

00:18:28.179 --> 00:18:28.480
 in your

00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:28.899
 heart to

00:18:28.899 --> 00:18:30.379
 despair and

00:18:30.379 --> 00:18:30.799
 tells you

00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:31.319
 of the guilt

00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:31.799
 within,

00:18:32.819 --> 00:18:33.159
 what does

00:18:33.159 --> 00:18:33.439
 the hymn

00:18:33.439 --> 00:18:33.759
 say?

00:18:34.539 --> 00:18:35.259
 Upward I

00:18:35.259 --> 00:18:36.339
 look and

00:18:36.339 --> 00:18:36.980
 see him

00:18:36.980 --> 00:18:38.019
 there who

00:18:38.019 --> 00:18:38.559
 made an

00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:39.379
 end to

00:18:39.379 --> 00:18:39.919
 all my

00:18:39.919 --> 00:18:41.119
 sin because

00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:41.559
 these

00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:42.179
 sinless

00:18:42.179 --> 00:18:42.819
 Savior

00:18:42.819 --> 00:18:43.359
 died.

00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:44.019
 My

00:18:44.019 --> 00:18:44.460
 sinful

00:18:44.460 --> 00:18:44.919
 soul

00:18:44.919 --> 00:18:45.359
 is

00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:45.639
 counted

00:18:45.639 --> 00:18:46.079
 free.

00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:46.659
 For

00:18:46.659 --> 00:18:47.159
 God

00:18:47.159 --> 00:18:47.500
 the

00:18:47.500 --> 00:18:47.980
 just

00:18:47.980 --> 00:18:48.339
 is

00:18:48.339 --> 00:18:48.940
 satisfied

00:18:48.940 --> 00:18:49.619
 to

00:18:49.619 --> 00:18:49.879
 look

00:18:49.879 --> 00:18:50.099
 on

00:18:50.099 --> 00:18:50.480
 him

00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:51.159
 and

00:18:51.159 --> 00:18:51.500
 pardon

00:18:51.500 --> 00:18:52.259
 me.

00:18:53.099 --> 00:18:53.500
 Look

00:18:53.500 --> 00:18:53.980
 to

00:18:53.980 --> 00:18:54.500
 Christ.

00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:55.500
 Satan

00:18:55.500 --> 00:18:55.960
 has no

00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:56.279
 power

00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:56.799
 over you.

00:18:59.319 --> 00:18:59.839
 Not

00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:00.339
 only was

00:19:00.339 --> 00:19:00.700
 Jesus

00:19:00.700 --> 00:19:01.139
 Christ

00:19:01.139 --> 00:19:01.440
 the

00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:02.359
 seed

00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:02.539
 of

00:19:02.539 --> 00:19:02.740
 Eve,

00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:03.059
 he was

00:19:03.059 --> 00:19:03.299
 also

00:19:03.299 --> 00:19:03.519
 the

00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:03.700
 son

00:19:03.700 --> 00:19:03.859
 of

00:19:03.859 --> 00:19:04.220
 God,

00:19:04.579 --> 00:19:04.940
 God

00:19:04.940 --> 00:19:05.419
 himself.

00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:06.000
 Look

00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:06.119
 at

00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:06.299
 verse

00:19:06.299 --> 00:19:06.539
 3.

00:19:06.679 --> 00:19:06.980
 Jesus,

00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:08.099
 knowing

00:19:08.099 --> 00:19:08.480
 that the

00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:08.779
 Father

00:19:08.779 --> 00:19:09.240
 had given

00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:09.720
 all things

00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:10.200
 into his

00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:10.599
 hands,

00:19:10.879 --> 00:19:11.220
 and that

00:19:11.220 --> 00:19:11.420
 he had

00:19:11.420 --> 00:19:11.660
 come

00:19:11.660 --> 00:19:12.059
 from

00:19:12.059 --> 00:19:12.640
 God

00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:13.220
 and

00:19:13.220 --> 00:19:13.380
 was

00:19:13.380 --> 00:19:13.559
 going

00:19:13.559 --> 00:19:13.880
 back

00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:14.620
 to

00:19:14.620 --> 00:19:15.640
 God.

00:19:16.640 --> 00:19:17.160
 This

00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:17.360
 is

00:19:17.360 --> 00:19:17.880
 Trinitarian

00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:18.500
 language.

00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:19.660
 The

00:19:19.660 --> 00:19:20.120
 Holy Spirit

00:19:20.120 --> 00:19:20.620
 inspired

00:19:20.620 --> 00:19:20.880
 John

00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:21.180
 and

00:19:21.180 --> 00:19:21.759
 showed

00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:21.920
 him

00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:22.039
 and

00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:22.240
 gave

00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:22.360
 him

00:19:22.360 --> 00:19:22.480
 the

00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:22.680
 words

00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:22.880
 to

00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:23.100
 write

00:19:23.100 --> 00:19:23.220
 it

00:19:23.220 --> 00:19:23.680
 exactly

00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:23.980
 this

00:19:23.980 --> 00:19:24.259
 way.

00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:25.319
 The

00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:25.839
 Father

00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:26.900
 had

00:19:26.900 --> 00:19:27.200
 given

00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:27.620
 all

00:19:27.620 --> 00:19:27.980
 things

00:19:27.980 --> 00:19:28.240
 into

00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:28.660
 the

00:19:28.660 --> 00:19:29.019
 hands

00:19:29.019 --> 00:19:29.180
 of

00:19:29.180 --> 00:19:29.360
 the

00:19:29.360 --> 00:19:29.579
 Son.

00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:31.100
 God

00:19:31.100 --> 00:19:31.259
 the

00:19:31.259 --> 00:19:31.600
 Father

00:19:31.600 --> 00:19:32.200
 into

00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:32.440
 the

00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:32.660
 hands

00:19:32.660 --> 00:19:32.799
 of

00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:33.019
 God

00:19:33.019 --> 00:19:33.220
 the

00:19:33.220 --> 00:19:33.480
 Son

00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:33.900
 on

00:19:33.900 --> 00:19:34.339
 earth,

00:19:35.600 --> 00:19:35.860
 who

00:19:35.860 --> 00:19:35.960
 had

00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:36.240
 come

00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:36.660
 from

00:19:36.660 --> 00:19:37.039
 God

00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:37.759
 and

00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:37.920
 was

00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:38.160
 going

00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:38.519
 back

00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:38.900
 to

00:19:38.900 --> 00:19:39.620
 God.

00:19:39.619 --> 00:19:40.319
 His

00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:40.639
 union

00:19:40.639 --> 00:19:40.839
 with

00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:41.000
 God

00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:41.139
 is

00:19:41.139 --> 00:19:41.339
 never

00:19:41.339 --> 00:19:41.679
 broken,

00:19:41.819 --> 00:19:41.939
 but

00:19:41.939 --> 00:19:42.500
 God

00:19:42.500 --> 00:19:42.659
 the

00:19:42.659 --> 00:19:42.819
 Son

00:19:42.819 --> 00:19:43.039
 took

00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:43.199
 on

00:19:43.199 --> 00:19:43.359
 a

00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:43.599
 mission

00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:43.799
 on

00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:43.959
 the

00:19:43.959 --> 00:19:44.319
 earth.

00:19:45.719 --> 00:19:46.199
 It's

00:19:46.199 --> 00:19:46.399
 God

00:19:46.399 --> 00:19:46.939
 himself.

00:19:47.639 --> 00:19:47.919
 It's

00:19:47.919 --> 00:19:48.119
 God

00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:48.539
 himself

00:19:48.539 --> 00:19:48.739
 who

00:19:48.739 --> 00:19:48.959
 entered

00:19:48.959 --> 00:19:49.199
 this

00:19:49.199 --> 00:19:49.519
 last

00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:49.939
 hour.

00:19:50.939 --> 00:19:51.159
 The

00:19:51.159 --> 00:19:51.439
 three

00:19:51.439 --> 00:19:51.799
 times

00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:52.119
 holy

00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:52.419
 God,

00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:52.759
 holy,

00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:53.019
 holy,

00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:53.299
 holy,

00:19:53.299 --> 00:19:53.339
 holy,

00:19:53.339 --> 00:19:53.679
 Father,

00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:53.979
 Son,

00:19:54.019 --> 00:19:54.159
 and

00:19:54.159 --> 00:19:54.419
 Spirit.

00:19:54.899 --> 00:19:55.199
 This

00:19:55.199 --> 00:19:55.319
 is

00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:55.699
 important.

00:19:56.139 --> 00:19:56.239
 He

00:19:56.239 --> 00:19:56.819
 lost

00:19:56.819 --> 00:19:57.699
 nothing

00:19:57.700 --> 00:19:58.559
 taking

00:19:58.559 --> 00:19:58.779
 on

00:19:58.779 --> 00:19:58.920
 the

00:19:58.920 --> 00:19:59.319
 flesh

00:19:59.319 --> 00:19:59.960
 to

00:19:59.960 --> 00:20:00.220
 walk

00:20:00.220 --> 00:20:00.460
 this

00:20:00.460 --> 00:20:00.700
 earth.

00:20:01.080 --> 00:20:01.340
 God

00:20:01.340 --> 00:20:01.740
 lost

00:20:01.740 --> 00:20:02.220
 nothing.

00:20:03.900 --> 00:20:04.400
 Adonis

00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:04.819
 Vidu,

00:20:05.220 --> 00:20:06.059
 a Presbyterian

00:20:06.059 --> 00:20:06.700
 professor at

00:20:06.700 --> 00:20:06.940
 Gordon

00:20:06.940 --> 00:20:07.319
 Conwell,

00:20:07.380 --> 00:20:07.640
 he put

00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:07.900
 it this

00:20:07.900 --> 00:20:08.120
 way,

00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:09.100
 all

00:20:09.100 --> 00:20:09.400
 three

00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:09.880
 persons

00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:10.759
 of the

00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:11.000
 Holy

00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:11.420
 Trinity

00:20:11.420 --> 00:20:12.059
 are

00:20:12.059 --> 00:20:12.340
 at

00:20:12.340 --> 00:20:12.620
 work

00:20:12.620 --> 00:20:12.880
 in

00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:13.299
 every

00:20:13.299 --> 00:20:13.940
 action

00:20:13.940 --> 00:20:14.840
 outside

00:20:14.840 --> 00:20:15.100
 the

00:20:15.100 --> 00:20:15.620
 Trinity's

00:20:15.620 --> 00:20:16.019
 life.

00:20:17.420 --> 00:20:17.860
 That's

00:20:17.860 --> 00:20:18.200
 why John

00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:18.700
 said God

00:20:18.700 --> 00:20:19.120
 dwelt

00:20:19.120 --> 00:20:19.500
 with us,

00:20:19.620 --> 00:20:19.779
 God

00:20:19.779 --> 00:20:20.799
 tabernacled.

00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:22.120
 God

00:20:22.120 --> 00:20:22.580
 himself

00:20:22.580 --> 00:20:23.920
 in the

00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:24.319
 flesh

00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:24.700
 was

00:20:24.700 --> 00:20:25.200
 really

00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:25.759
 shooting

00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:26.180
 us from

00:20:26.180 --> 00:20:26.680
 the glory

00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:27.019
 of the

00:20:27.019 --> 00:20:27.360
 triune

00:20:27.360 --> 00:20:27.620
 God,

00:20:27.700 --> 00:20:27.960
 Father,

00:20:28.080 --> 00:20:28.220
 Son,

00:20:28.259 --> 00:20:28.640
 and Spirit.

00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:29.240
 He

00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:29.640
 gave us

00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:29.960
 Christ

00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:30.200
 so we

00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:30.319
 could

00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:30.600
 look at

00:20:30.600 --> 00:20:30.720
 the

00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:30.940
 face

00:20:30.940 --> 00:20:31.100
 of

00:20:31.100 --> 00:20:31.319
 Christ

00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:31.500
 and

00:20:31.500 --> 00:20:31.759
 see

00:20:31.759 --> 00:20:32.299
 the

00:20:32.299 --> 00:20:32.519
 full

00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:32.819
 God

00:20:32.819 --> 00:20:33.059
 head.

00:20:35.600 --> 00:20:36.100
 I

00:20:36.100 --> 00:20:36.240
 think

00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:36.420
 this

00:20:36.420 --> 00:20:36.559
 is

00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:36.920
 important

00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:37.240
 that

00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:38.319
 God

00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:38.700
 put

00:20:38.700 --> 00:20:38.980
 on

00:20:38.980 --> 00:20:39.120
 a

00:20:39.120 --> 00:20:39.380
 human

00:20:39.380 --> 00:20:39.740
 nature

00:20:39.740 --> 00:20:40.039
 to

00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:40.360
 shield

00:20:40.360 --> 00:20:40.539
 us

00:20:40.539 --> 00:20:40.700
 from

00:20:40.700 --> 00:20:41.039
 God's

00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:41.340
 glory.

00:20:41.840 --> 00:20:41.880
 He

00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:42.120
 took

00:20:42.120 --> 00:20:42.340
 on

00:20:42.340 --> 00:20:42.620
 flesh

00:20:42.620 --> 00:20:43.000
 not

00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:44.220
 subtracting

00:20:44.220 --> 00:20:44.620
 anything

00:20:44.620 --> 00:20:44.940
 from

00:20:44.940 --> 00:20:45.140
 his

00:20:45.140 --> 00:20:45.460
 essence

00:20:45.460 --> 00:20:45.600
 or

00:20:45.600 --> 00:20:45.740
 who

00:20:45.740 --> 00:20:45.960
 God

00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:46.299
 is,

00:20:46.600 --> 00:20:46.860
 but

00:20:46.860 --> 00:20:47.039
 he

00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:47.440
 added

00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:47.880
 onto

00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:48.200
 it

00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:48.680
 this

00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:48.940
 human

00:20:48.940 --> 00:20:49.319
 nature.

00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:53.160
 Illustration

00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:53.480
 from

00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:53.880
 this

00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:54.100
 same

00:20:54.100 --> 00:20:54.600
 professor

00:20:54.600 --> 00:20:55.019
 Vidu

00:20:55.019 --> 00:20:56.160
 is

00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:56.480
 that

00:20:56.480 --> 00:20:57.480
 like a

00:20:57.480 --> 00:20:57.759
 great

00:20:57.759 --> 00:20:58.240
 magnet,

00:20:58.480 --> 00:20:58.720
 if you

00:20:58.720 --> 00:20:59.099
 picture a

00:20:59.099 --> 00:20:59.339
 great

00:20:59.339 --> 00:20:59.740
 magnet

00:20:59.740 --> 00:21:00.400
 and it

00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:00.759
 has that

00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:01.220
 power to

00:21:01.220 --> 00:21:01.819
 attract a

00:21:01.819 --> 00:21:01.960
 little

00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:02.480
 paperclip,

00:21:02.860 --> 00:21:03.059
 the

00:21:03.059 --> 00:21:03.519
 paperclip

00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:03.880
 is like

00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:04.099
 the

00:21:04.099 --> 00:21:04.500
 flesh.

00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:05.480
 Nothing

00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:06.200
 is lost

00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:07.180
 of God

00:21:07.180 --> 00:21:08.200
 by taking

00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:08.559
 on the

00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:08.839
 flesh,

00:21:08.940 --> 00:21:09.279
 just like

00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:09.640
 nothing

00:21:09.640 --> 00:21:10.120
 is lost

00:21:10.120 --> 00:21:10.400
 of a

00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:10.620
 great

00:21:10.620 --> 00:21:11.079
 magnet

00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:11.720
 that

00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:12.180
 draws a

00:21:12.180 --> 00:21:12.319

00:21:12.900 --> 00:21:13.779
 onto it.

00:21:13.779 --> 00:21:14.680
 That's

00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:14.920
 what it

00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:15.180
 is,

00:21:15.420 --> 00:21:15.660

 he

00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:18.079
 had

00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:18.440
 everything

00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:18.700
 from

00:21:18.700 --> 00:21:18.859
 the

00:21:18.859 --> 00:21:19.160
 Father.

00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:20.000
 God

00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:20.200
 has

00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:20.799
 not

00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:21.119
 lost

00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:21.519
 anything

00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:22.259
 and

00:21:22.259 --> 00:21:22.379
 he

00:21:22.379 --> 00:21:22.480
 would

00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:22.639
 be

00:21:22.639 --> 00:21:23.099

00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:23.839
 the

00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:24.180
 Father,

00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:25.160
 going

00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:25.460
 back

00:21:25.460 --> 00:21:25.700
 having

00:21:25.700 --> 00:21:26.319
 accomplished

00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:26.859
 his

00:21:26.859 --> 00:21:27.299

 The

00:21:30.980 --> 00:21:31.079
 He

00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:31.480

00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:36.299
 And

00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:47.619

 do

00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:48.399

 It's

00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:49.740
 Independence

00:21:49.740 --> 00:21:50.079

00:21:57.599 --> 00:21:57.899
 in

00:21:57.899 --> 00:21:58.619

00:21:58.619 --> 00:21:58.740

 He

00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:01.440

 his

00:22:16.319 --> 00:22:16.819

00:22:18.740 --> 00:22:18.879
 Now,

 Luke

00:22:22.059 --> 00:22:22.339
 going

00:22:22.339 --> 00:22:22.660

00:22:24.339 --> 00:22:24.639
 Luke

00:22:24.639 --> 00:22:24.960
 tells,

00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:25.399
 based

00:22:25.399 --> 00:22:25.680
 on his

00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:26.000
 interviews,

00:22:26.139 --> 00:22:26.379
 that there

00:22:26.379 --> 00:22:26.819
 was a

00:22:26.819 --> 00:22:27.440

00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:29.480
 disciples.

00:22:30.059 --> 00:22:30.180
 This

00:22:30.180 --> 00:22:30.339
 is

00:22:30.339 --> 00:22:30.559
 Luke

00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:33.200
 What

00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:33.339
 were

00:22:33.339 --> 00:22:33.480
 they

00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:34.039
 disputing

00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:34.319
 about?

00:22:35.139 --> 00:22:35.399
 They're

00:22:35.399 --> 00:22:35.700
 talking

00:22:35.700 --> 00:22:36.039
 about

00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:36.259
 who

00:22:36.259 --> 00:22:36.420
 is

00:22:36.420 --> 00:22:36.619
 the

00:22:36.619 --> 00:22:36.960
 greatest

00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:37.359
 among

00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:37.720
 them.

00:22:39.819 --> 00:22:40.220
 Jesus

00:22:40.220 --> 00:22:40.599
 said,

00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:41.180
 the kings

00:22:41.180 --> 00:22:41.720
 of this

00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:41.980
 world,

00:22:42.099 --> 00:22:42.180
 they

00:22:42.180 --> 00:22:42.879
 lord it

00:22:42.879 --> 00:22:43.319
 over.

00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:45.039
 over those

00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:45.480
 that they're

00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:45.960
 leading.

00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:47.299
 Jesus

00:22:47.299 --> 00:22:47.679
 says,

00:22:47.859 --> 00:22:48.539
 I am

00:22:48.539 --> 00:22:49.659
 among you

00:22:49.659 --> 00:22:50.659

00:22:50.659 --> 00:22:51.740
 who serves.

00:22:52.740 --> 00:22:53.700
 The king

00:22:53.700 --> 00:22:54.419
 of heaven

00:22:54.419 --> 00:22:56.159
 took off

00:22:56.159 --> 00:22:56.519
 his outer

00:22:56.519 --> 00:22:56.879
 garments.

00:22:57.000 --> 00:22:57.359
 He took

00:22:57.359 --> 00:22:58.740
 a servant's

00:22:58.740 --> 00:22:59.179
 rag,

00:22:59.859 --> 00:23:00.579
 and he took

00:23:00.579 --> 00:23:01.299
 that rag and

00:23:01.299 --> 00:23:01.740
 wrapped it

00:23:01.740 --> 00:23:02.740
 around himself,

00:23:02.980 --> 00:23:03.460
 on his

00:23:03.460 --> 00:23:03.879
 person.

00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:06.579
 I am

00:23:06.579 --> 00:23:08.359
 among you

00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:09.919
 as one

00:23:09.919 --> 00:23:10.859
 who serves.

00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:17.779
 He laid

00:23:17.779 --> 00:23:18.319
 aside his

00:23:18.639 --> 00:23:19.159

00:23:19.159 --> 00:23:21.319
 so that

00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:21.619
 he would

00:23:21.619 --> 00:23:22.179
 wash

00:23:22.179 --> 00:23:23.359
 the dirt

00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:24.379
 off of

00:23:24.379 --> 00:23:24.839
 the lowest

00:23:24.839 --> 00:23:25.299
 part

00:23:25.299 --> 00:23:26.299
 of his

00:23:26.299 --> 00:23:26.779
 disciples.

00:23:29.299 --> 00:23:29.899
 He's

00:23:29.899 --> 00:23:30.299
 fulfilling

00:23:30.299 --> 00:23:31.119
 what Isaiah

00:23:31.119 --> 00:23:31.899
 prophesied.

00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:33.079
 Isaiah 42,

00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:34.500
 behold my

00:23:34.500 --> 00:23:35.019
 servant,

00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:35.759
 says God,

00:23:36.339 --> 00:23:36.819
 whom I

00:23:36.819 --> 00:23:37.179
 uphold,

00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:37.819
 my chosen,

00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:38.179
 and whom

00:23:38.179 --> 00:23:38.619
 my soul

00:23:38.619 --> 00:23:39.059
 delights.

00:23:39.299 --> 00:23:39.699
 I have

00:23:39.699 --> 00:23:40.079
 put my

00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:40.699
 spirit upon

00:23:40.699 --> 00:23:40.939
 him.

00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:41.659
 He will

00:23:41.659 --> 00:23:42.259
 bring forth

00:23:42.259 --> 00:23:43.119
 justice to

00:23:43.119 --> 00:23:43.659
 the nations.

00:23:43.659 --> 00:23:44.399
 He will

00:23:44.399 --> 00:23:44.980
 faithfully

00:23:44.980 --> 00:23:45.699
 bring forth

00:23:45.699 --> 00:23:46.799
 justice.

00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:48.000
 How will

00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:48.279
 he do

00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:48.599
 this?

00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:49.619
 By obeying

00:23:49.619 --> 00:23:50.199
 as a

00:23:50.199 --> 00:23:50.519
 servant

00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:51.460
 on the

00:23:51.460 --> 00:23:51.879
 cross,

00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:53.480
 showing God's

00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:54.039
 love to the

00:23:54.039 --> 00:23:54.539
 very end,

00:23:54.799 --> 00:23:55.399
 by loving

00:23:55.399 --> 00:23:55.899
 his own,

00:23:56.899 --> 00:23:57.399
 and serving

00:23:57.399 --> 00:23:58.399
 them with

00:23:58.399 --> 00:23:58.879
 the love

00:23:58.880 --> 00:23:59.640
 of God

00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:00.160
 himself.

00:24:03.320 --> 00:24:03.880
 See,

00:24:03.980 --> 00:24:04.700
 Jesus Christ,

00:24:04.900 --> 00:24:05.280
 in his

00:24:05.280 --> 00:24:05.740
 work and

00:24:05.740 --> 00:24:06.260
 taking on

00:24:06.260 --> 00:24:06.760
 the flesh

00:24:06.760 --> 00:24:07.260
 and dying

00:24:07.260 --> 00:24:07.560
 on the

00:24:07.560 --> 00:24:07.940
 cross,

00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:09.300
 he had

00:24:09.300 --> 00:24:10.300
 laid aside

00:24:10.300 --> 00:24:11.100
 his royal

00:24:11.100 --> 00:24:12.080
 robe as

00:24:12.080 --> 00:24:12.480
 the prince

00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:12.940
 of heaven.

00:24:13.900 --> 00:24:14.320
 He did

00:24:14.320 --> 00:24:14.660
 that for

00:24:14.660 --> 00:24:15.060
 love and

00:24:15.060 --> 00:24:15.880
 he stepped

00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:16.460
 down from

00:24:16.460 --> 00:24:16.980
 his throne

00:24:16.980 --> 00:24:17.460
 in heaven

00:24:17.460 --> 00:24:19.440
 and he

00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:20.180
 became a

00:24:20.180 --> 00:24:20.500
 lowly

00:24:20.500 --> 00:24:22.040
 shepherd to

00:24:22.040 --> 00:24:22.820
 disciple those

00:24:22.820 --> 00:24:23.100
 who would

00:24:23.100 --> 00:24:23.500
 hear his

00:24:23.500 --> 00:24:24.360
 voice and

00:24:24.360 --> 00:24:24.640
 he did

00:24:24.640 --> 00:24:25.400
 that because

00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:26.380
 God is

00:24:26.380 --> 00:24:26.800
 love.

00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:28.680
 This

00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:29.220
 phrase here

00:24:29.220 --> 00:24:29.599
 that he

00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:31.039
 laid aside

00:24:31.039 --> 00:24:31.799
 his outer

00:24:31.799 --> 00:24:32.200
 garments,

00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:32.599
 it's the

00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:33.059
 same thing

00:24:33.059 --> 00:24:33.440
 he said

00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:33.839
 back in

00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:34.599
 John 10

00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:35.200
 verse 10.

00:24:35.799 --> 00:24:36.220
 A good

00:24:36.220 --> 00:24:37.299
 shepherd lays

00:24:37.299 --> 00:24:37.740
 down,

00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:39.000
 lays aside

00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:39.639
 his own

00:24:39.639 --> 00:24:40.399
 life.

00:24:41.379 --> 00:24:41.799
 What did

00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:42.579
 Jesus say

00:24:42.579 --> 00:24:43.180
 in John 10?

00:24:43.579 --> 00:24:43.879
 The good

00:24:43.879 --> 00:24:44.539
 shepherd lays

00:24:44.539 --> 00:24:45.019
 down his

00:24:45.019 --> 00:24:45.519
 life so

00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:45.799
 that he

00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:46.240
 may take

00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:46.680
 it up

00:24:46.680 --> 00:24:47.359
 again.

00:24:48.639 --> 00:24:48.879
 See,

00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:49.599
 Jesus lays

00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:50.079
 aside his

00:24:50.079 --> 00:24:50.299
 outer

00:24:50.299 --> 00:24:50.680
 garments,

00:24:51.379 --> 00:24:51.680
 washes

00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:52.220
 them as

00:24:52.220 --> 00:24:52.720
 a servant,

00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:53.460
 and he

00:24:53.460 --> 00:24:53.980
 takes up

00:24:53.980 --> 00:24:54.440
 his outer

00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:55.200
 garments again

00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:56.319
 and resumes

00:24:56.319 --> 00:24:57.460
 his spot

00:24:57.460 --> 00:24:58.119
 as Lord

00:24:58.119 --> 00:24:58.539
 over the

00:24:58.539 --> 00:24:58.899
 feast.

00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:00.399
 And then

00:25:00.399 --> 00:25:00.839
 Jesus says,

00:25:00.939 --> 00:25:01.099
 do you

00:25:01.099 --> 00:25:01.519
 understand

00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:01.859
 what I

00:25:01.859 --> 00:25:02.240
 have done?

00:25:02.919 --> 00:25:03.119
 They

00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:03.259
 said,

00:25:03.299 --> 00:25:03.460
 no.

00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:04.559
 He says,

00:25:04.619 --> 00:25:04.980
 you will

00:25:04.980 --> 00:25:05.519
 understand.

00:25:05.960 --> 00:25:06.259
 Church,

00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:06.519
 do you

00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:06.939
 understand

00:25:06.939 --> 00:25:07.399
 what Jesus

00:25:07.399 --> 00:25:07.919
 has done

00:25:07.919 --> 00:25:09.639
 by washing

00:25:09.639 --> 00:25:10.119
 their feet?

00:25:13.619 --> 00:25:14.099
 Third

00:25:14.099 --> 00:25:14.599
 observation,

00:25:14.779 --> 00:25:15.200
 the love

00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:15.819
 of heaven's

00:25:15.819 --> 00:25:17.220
 servant is

00:25:17.220 --> 00:25:17.980
 experienced

00:25:17.980 --> 00:25:18.939
 before it's

00:25:18.939 --> 00:25:19.419
 understood.

00:25:20.279 --> 00:25:20.899
 If you're

00:25:20.899 --> 00:25:21.619
 not understanding

00:25:21.619 --> 00:25:22.179
 the gospel

00:25:22.179 --> 00:25:22.899
 in this

00:25:22.899 --> 00:25:23.259
 picture,

00:25:24.559 --> 00:25:25.119
 maybe God

00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:25.500
 wants you

00:25:25.500 --> 00:25:26.299
 to experience

00:25:26.299 --> 00:25:26.759
 it by

00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:27.240
 faith.

00:25:27.819 --> 00:25:28.119
 And the

00:25:28.119 --> 00:25:28.619
 understanding

00:25:28.619 --> 00:25:29.160
 will grow.

00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:29.839
 It'll grow

00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:30.299
 from there.

00:25:30.980 --> 00:25:31.460
 The love

00:25:31.460 --> 00:25:32.079
 of heaven's

00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:32.599
 servant is

00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:33.240
 experienced

00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:34.420
 before it's

00:25:34.420 --> 00:25:34.839
 understood.

00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:37.319
 Now,

00:25:37.380 --> 00:25:37.640
 remember,

00:25:37.740 --> 00:25:37.980
 what he's

00:25:37.980 --> 00:25:38.380
 about to

00:25:38.380 --> 00:25:38.759
 do here

00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:39.539
 is wash

00:25:39.539 --> 00:25:40.160
 their dirty

00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:40.839
 feet.

00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:42.920
 Parents,

00:25:43.019 --> 00:25:43.160
 have you

00:25:43.160 --> 00:25:43.559
 ever had to

00:25:43.559 --> 00:25:43.920
 wash your

00:25:43.920 --> 00:25:44.319
 kids' feet

00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:44.759
 after they've

00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:45.099
 gone and

00:25:45.099 --> 00:25:45.779
 played outside?

00:25:46.720 --> 00:25:46.960
 Well,

00:25:47.019 --> 00:25:47.519
 our children

00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:48.099
 are cute

00:25:48.099 --> 00:25:48.420
 and they

00:25:48.420 --> 00:25:48.839
 don't smell

00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:49.339
 too bad.

00:25:49.660 --> 00:25:50.039
 But these

00:25:50.039 --> 00:25:51.180
 are stinking

00:25:51.180 --> 00:25:51.559
 men.

00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:52.400
 These are

00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:52.799
 fishermen

00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:53.660
 and they're

00:25:53.660 --> 00:25:54.200
 walking around

00:25:54.200 --> 00:25:54.680
 the streets

00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:55.380
 of Jerusalem.

00:25:56.160 --> 00:25:56.820
 There's no

00:25:56.820 --> 00:25:57.180
 pavement.

00:25:57.500 --> 00:25:58.000
 It's going

00:25:58.000 --> 00:25:58.279
 to get a

00:25:58.279 --> 00:25:58.500
 little bit

00:25:58.500 --> 00:25:58.779
 gross.

00:25:58.900 --> 00:25:59.279
 There's no

00:25:59.279 --> 00:25:59.720
 sewage.

00:26:00.500 --> 00:26:00.980
 There's a

00:26:00.980 --> 00:26:01.360
 lot of

00:26:01.360 --> 00:26:01.740
 animals

00:26:01.740 --> 00:26:02.160
 everywhere.

00:26:02.560 --> 00:26:03.019
 There's no

00:26:03.019 --> 00:26:03.400
 codes.

00:26:04.600 --> 00:26:04.940
 And they're

00:26:04.940 --> 00:26:05.640
 walking around

00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:06.460
 not with

00:26:06.460 --> 00:26:07.620
 rubber boots

00:26:07.620 --> 00:26:08.080
 up to their

00:26:08.080 --> 00:26:08.340
 knees.

00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:08.799
 They're walking

00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:09.620
 around in

00:26:09.620 --> 00:26:10.100
 sandals.

00:26:11.820 --> 00:26:12.560
 It would be

00:26:12.560 --> 00:26:13.360
 disgusting to

00:26:13.360 --> 00:26:13.860
 have to touch

00:26:13.860 --> 00:26:14.400
 those men's

00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:14.620
 feet.

00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:16.480
 In verse 5,

00:26:16.580 --> 00:26:17.340
 Jesus poured

00:26:17.340 --> 00:26:18.460
 water into a

00:26:18.460 --> 00:26:20.120
 basin and he

00:26:20.120 --> 00:26:20.700
 began to do

00:26:20.700 --> 00:26:21.279
 just that.

00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:22.060
 He washed

00:26:22.059 --> 00:26:22.779
 the disciples'

00:26:23.019 --> 00:26:24.339
 feet and

00:26:24.339 --> 00:26:24.799
 he wiped

00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:25.240
 them with

00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:25.799
 the towel

00:26:25.799 --> 00:26:26.339
 that was

00:26:26.339 --> 00:26:27.059
 around him.

00:26:27.859 --> 00:26:28.339
 In verse 6,

00:26:28.379 --> 00:26:28.839
 he came to

00:26:28.839 --> 00:26:29.460
 Simon Peter

00:26:29.460 --> 00:26:30.099
 who said to

00:26:30.099 --> 00:26:30.259
 him,

00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:30.559
 Lord,

00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:31.259
 do you

00:26:31.259 --> 00:26:31.720
 wash my

00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:32.000
 feet?

00:26:32.500 --> 00:26:32.819
 And Jesus

00:26:32.819 --> 00:26:33.480
 answered him,

00:26:33.619 --> 00:26:34.240
 what I am

00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:34.539
 doing,

00:26:34.619 --> 00:26:35.159
 you do not

00:26:35.159 --> 00:26:35.919
 understand now,

00:26:36.139 --> 00:26:36.819
 but afterward

00:26:36.819 --> 00:26:37.399
 you will

00:26:37.399 --> 00:26:38.019
 understand.

00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:39.039
 Do you

00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:39.419
 think Peter

00:26:39.419 --> 00:26:40.159
 would understand?

00:26:42.019 --> 00:26:42.639
 They did

00:26:42.639 --> 00:26:43.279
 not understand

00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:43.720
 that they

00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:44.240
 needed to be

00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:45.599
 cleansed by

00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:46.059
 heaven's

00:26:46.059 --> 00:26:46.319
 servant.

00:26:46.319 --> 00:26:46.419
 them.

00:26:48.579 --> 00:26:49.220
 They would

00:26:49.220 --> 00:26:50.039
 understand later

00:26:50.039 --> 00:26:50.839
 that this

00:26:50.839 --> 00:26:51.439
 act of,

00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:52.139
 as they're

00:26:52.139 --> 00:26:52.759
 reclining at

00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:53.339
 the table and

00:26:53.339 --> 00:26:53.779
 their feet are

00:26:53.779 --> 00:26:54.259
 all outward,

00:26:54.399 --> 00:26:54.659
 they're all

00:26:54.659 --> 00:26:55.119
 leaning on

00:26:55.119 --> 00:26:55.559
 their left

00:26:55.559 --> 00:26:55.960
 arm like

00:26:55.960 --> 00:26:56.319
 this with

00:26:56.319 --> 00:26:56.639
 their feet

00:26:56.639 --> 00:26:56.899
 on the

00:26:56.899 --> 00:26:57.439
 outside.

00:26:58.599 --> 00:26:59.379
 Jesus is

00:26:59.379 --> 00:27:00.399
 down low

00:27:00.399 --> 00:27:00.899
 on the

00:27:00.899 --> 00:27:02.439
 ground and

00:27:02.439 --> 00:27:03.859
 this filth and

00:27:03.859 --> 00:27:04.779
 stinky dirt that

00:27:04.779 --> 00:27:05.419
 was on these

00:27:05.419 --> 00:27:06.039
 men's feet,

00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:07.460
 where is the

00:27:07.460 --> 00:27:07.939
 towel on

00:27:07.939 --> 00:27:08.359
 Christ?

00:27:09.399 --> 00:27:09.980
 Where is it?

00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:12.759
 He's got it

00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:13.599
 wrapped around

00:27:13.599 --> 00:27:14.279
 him.

00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:16.119
 Do you

00:27:16.119 --> 00:27:16.420
 see the

00:27:16.420 --> 00:27:16.700
 picture?

00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:18.539
 He washes

00:27:18.539 --> 00:27:19.059
 them with

00:27:19.059 --> 00:27:19.680
 his hands.

00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:20.700
 He takes

00:27:20.700 --> 00:27:21.500
 their dirt on

00:27:21.500 --> 00:27:22.180
 the servant's

00:27:22.180 --> 00:27:22.799
 towel wrapped

00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:23.339
 around his

00:27:23.339 --> 00:27:23.940
 own body.

00:27:24.619 --> 00:27:24.920
 What was

00:27:24.920 --> 00:27:25.700
 their dirt is

00:27:25.700 --> 00:27:26.319
 now on

00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:27.180
 Jesus Christ.

00:27:28.019 --> 00:27:28.480
 Heaven's

00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:28.980
 servant is

00:27:28.980 --> 00:27:29.799
 washing them.

00:27:30.579 --> 00:27:31.039
 They have to

00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:32.160
 experience this.

00:27:33.259 --> 00:27:33.740
 Later they'll

00:27:33.740 --> 00:27:34.319
 understand,

00:27:34.839 --> 00:27:35.539
 my sin was

00:27:35.539 --> 00:27:36.220
 put onto the

00:27:36.220 --> 00:27:37.319
 body of God

00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:38.639
 himself in

00:27:38.639 --> 00:27:39.440
 the person of

00:27:39.440 --> 00:27:40.279
 Jesus Christ.

00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:45.299
 We need a

00:27:45.299 --> 00:27:46.920
 righteousness that

00:27:46.920 --> 00:27:48.039
 can pass God's

00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:48.579
 scrutiny.

00:27:49.099 --> 00:27:49.599
 We just read

00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:49.940
 this.

00:27:50.960 --> 00:27:51.619
 We cannot

00:27:51.619 --> 00:27:52.440
 produce the

00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:53.240
 righteousness we

00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:53.639
 need.

00:27:54.859 --> 00:27:56.160
 Our catechism we

00:27:56.160 --> 00:27:57.200
 just read, a

00:27:57.200 --> 00:27:58.299
 righteousness we

00:27:58.299 --> 00:27:59.139
 need is one that

00:27:59.139 --> 00:27:59.720
 is entirely

00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:00.319
 perfect.

00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:01.339
 It must in

00:28:01.339 --> 00:28:02.480
 every way

00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:03.660
 measure up to

00:28:03.660 --> 00:28:04.139
 the divine

00:28:04.139 --> 00:28:04.480
 law.

00:28:05.240 --> 00:28:06.119
 Even the very

00:28:06.119 --> 00:28:06.920
 best we do in

00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:07.579
 this life is

00:28:07.579 --> 00:28:08.940
 imperfect and it

00:28:08.940 --> 00:28:10.200
 is stained with

00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:10.599
 sin.

00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:10.659
 sin.

00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:13.079
 But you can

00:28:13.079 --> 00:28:14.719
 experience the

00:28:14.719 --> 00:28:15.500
 love of God.

00:28:16.539 --> 00:28:16.899
 You can

00:28:16.899 --> 00:28:17.819
 experience Christ

00:28:17.819 --> 00:28:18.859
 washing you.

00:28:19.819 --> 00:28:20.159
 And when you

00:28:20.159 --> 00:28:21.059
 experience that,

00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:21.799
 when you see he

00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:22.980
 took my dirt on

00:28:22.980 --> 00:28:25.740
 his person, your

00:28:25.740 --> 00:28:27.099
 walk changes.

00:28:29.159 --> 00:28:29.799
 Doesn't it?

00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:30.719
 What do you do

00:28:30.719 --> 00:28:31.500
 with clean feet?

00:28:32.179 --> 00:28:33.500
 You just took a

00:28:33.500 --> 00:28:35.419
 shower and you

00:28:35.419 --> 00:28:36.419
 got to go for

00:28:36.419 --> 00:28:37.500
 somewhere to walk

00:28:37.500 --> 00:28:37.799
 around.

00:28:37.959 --> 00:28:38.439
 You want to keep

00:28:38.439 --> 00:28:39.079
 these feet clean.

00:28:39.139 --> 00:28:39.740
 I just got done

00:28:39.740 --> 00:28:40.500
 washing my feet.

00:28:40.839 --> 00:28:41.240
 You want to

00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:41.839
 watch your walk

00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:42.359
 and keep those

00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:43.039
 feet clean once

00:28:43.039 --> 00:28:43.500
 you've just been

00:28:43.500 --> 00:28:44.000
 cleaned, right?

00:28:44.919 --> 00:28:46.679
 Now, he says you

00:28:46.679 --> 00:28:47.379
 will understand

00:28:47.379 --> 00:28:47.779
 this.

00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:49.339
 Let's start with

00:28:49.339 --> 00:28:49.740
 John, the

00:28:49.740 --> 00:28:50.359
 apostle John.

00:28:50.419 --> 00:28:50.759
 Do you think

00:28:50.759 --> 00:28:51.679
 John understood

00:28:51.679 --> 00:28:51.939
 this?

00:28:52.019 --> 00:28:52.539
 Let me read to

00:28:52.539 --> 00:28:53.279
 you what John,

00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:54.599
 as an elder, an

00:28:54.599 --> 00:28:55.759
 old man to a

00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:56.419
 church writing to

00:28:56.419 --> 00:28:56.899
 them as his

00:28:56.899 --> 00:28:57.559
 little children.

00:28:57.959 --> 00:28:58.519
 Listen to what

00:28:58.519 --> 00:28:59.240
 John taught the

00:28:59.240 --> 00:28:59.879
 church in 1

00:28:59.879 --> 00:29:01.419
 John 1, 7

00:29:01.419 --> 00:29:01.919
 through 10.

00:29:02.019 --> 00:29:02.500
 John said,

00:29:02.899 --> 00:29:03.859
 if we walk,

00:29:04.019 --> 00:29:04.559
 there it is,

00:29:04.740 --> 00:29:05.179
 you're walking

00:29:05.179 --> 00:29:05.799
 with these clean

00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:06.059
 feet.

00:29:06.500 --> 00:29:07.379
 If we walk in

00:29:07.379 --> 00:29:08.699
 the light as he,

00:29:08.859 --> 00:29:09.659
 Jesus Christ, is

00:29:09.659 --> 00:29:10.339
 in the light,

00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:11.159
 we have

00:29:11.159 --> 00:29:11.899
 fellowship with

00:29:11.899 --> 00:29:12.500
 one another,

00:29:12.919 --> 00:29:14.240
 and the blood of

00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:16.079
 Jesus, God's

00:29:16.079 --> 00:29:17.740
 son, cleanses us

00:29:17.740 --> 00:29:18.779
 from all sin.

00:29:18.919 --> 00:29:19.240
 Do you think

00:29:19.240 --> 00:29:19.939
 John got it?

00:29:20.039 --> 00:29:20.679
 Did he understand?

00:29:21.419 --> 00:29:22.559
 If we confess our

00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:24.119
 sins, he is

00:29:24.119 --> 00:29:25.859
 faithful and just

00:29:25.859 --> 00:29:26.719
 to forgive us our

00:29:26.719 --> 00:29:27.899
 sins and to

00:29:27.899 --> 00:29:29.519
 cleanse us from

00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:31.399
 all unrighteousness.

00:29:31.400 --> 00:29:32.400
 God's sins and

00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:32.660
 love.

00:29:32.660 --> 00:29:33.320
 Have you experienced

00:29:33.320 --> 00:29:34.500
 the washing of

00:29:34.500 --> 00:29:34.820
 Jesus?

00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:36.360
 Have you experienced

00:29:36.360 --> 00:29:37.880
 his love as God's

00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:38.759
 heavenly servant?

00:29:39.660 --> 00:29:40.780
 If you have been

00:29:40.780 --> 00:29:41.420
 cleansed by the

00:29:41.420 --> 00:29:42.100
 blood of Jesus,

00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:44.580
 then we take care.

00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:45.720
 We take care with

00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:46.200
 the help of the

00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:46.980
 Holy Spirit as best

00:29:46.980 --> 00:29:48.180
 we can, not to

00:29:48.180 --> 00:29:48.960
 keep getting dirty

00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:49.900
 over and over

00:29:49.900 --> 00:29:50.300
 again.

00:29:50.820 --> 00:29:51.600
 You remember that

00:29:51.600 --> 00:29:52.380
 you were cleaned

00:29:52.380 --> 00:29:55.340
 out of love by

00:29:55.340 --> 00:29:56.060
 heaven's servant

00:29:56.060 --> 00:29:56.600
 himself.

00:29:56.599 --> 00:29:59.659
 The fourth

00:29:59.659 --> 00:30:00.399
 observation is

00:30:00.399 --> 00:30:02.359
 that God must

00:30:02.359 --> 00:30:04.599
 apply inwardly the

00:30:04.599 --> 00:30:05.480
 work of heaven's

00:30:05.480 --> 00:30:06.899
 servant in order

00:30:06.899 --> 00:30:07.539
 for you to be

00:30:07.539 --> 00:30:08.639
 truly cleansed.

00:30:09.980 --> 00:30:10.759
 You might be

00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:11.279
 thinking, I

00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:12.359
 understand this

00:30:12.359 --> 00:30:13.079
 maybe partially,

00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:13.619
 but I want to

00:30:13.619 --> 00:30:14.319
 understand more.

00:30:14.899 --> 00:30:15.519
 And even what I

00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:16.079
 don't understand,

00:30:16.179 --> 00:30:16.859
 I do want to

00:30:16.859 --> 00:30:17.399
 experience.

00:30:18.099 --> 00:30:18.559
 How do I

00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:19.240
 experience this

00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:20.059
 type of cleansing?

00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:22.679
 What Jesus

00:30:22.679 --> 00:30:23.899
 says, you

00:30:23.899 --> 00:30:24.679
 may notice the

00:30:24.679 --> 00:30:25.500
 disciples part in

00:30:25.500 --> 00:30:26.399
 experiencing this,

00:30:26.599 --> 00:30:27.939
 it's to let

00:30:27.939 --> 00:30:29.079
 Jesus wash them.

00:30:29.559 --> 00:30:30.379
 Let him take

00:30:30.379 --> 00:30:31.359
 their dirt and

00:30:31.359 --> 00:30:32.099
 put it on him.

00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:33.939
 It's to be

00:30:33.939 --> 00:30:34.859
 cleansed by him.

00:30:35.219 --> 00:30:36.219
 It's not go out

00:30:36.219 --> 00:30:36.839
 and try to be

00:30:36.839 --> 00:30:37.819
 super clean on

00:30:37.819 --> 00:30:38.099
 your own.

00:30:38.159 --> 00:30:39.299
 No, let him

00:30:39.299 --> 00:30:40.259
 wash you.

00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:41.679
 How does God

00:30:41.679 --> 00:30:42.019
 do this?

00:30:42.059 --> 00:30:42.859
 He does this by

00:30:42.859 --> 00:30:44.500
 inwardly applying

00:30:44.500 --> 00:30:45.319
 to you, your

00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:46.079
 inner being, your

00:30:46.079 --> 00:30:48.119
 inner man, the

00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:48.899
 finished work of

00:30:48.899 --> 00:30:49.659
 Jesus Christ,

00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:50.399
 heaven's servant.

00:30:50.639 --> 00:30:51.359
 The Holy Spirit

00:30:51.359 --> 00:30:53.119
 does it inside

00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:53.480
 of you.

00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:54.480
 God's servant.

00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:55.480
 God's servant.

00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:56.839
 This is the

00:30:56.839 --> 00:30:57.819
 contrast between

00:30:57.819 --> 00:30:58.920
 Peter and

00:30:58.920 --> 00:30:59.220
 Judas.

00:30:59.339 --> 00:30:59.779
 Look at verse

00:30:59.779 --> 00:31:00.079
 8.

00:31:01.380 --> 00:31:02.360
 Peter said to

00:31:02.360 --> 00:31:04.000
 Jesus, you

00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:04.759
 shall never

00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:05.880
 wash my feet.

00:31:06.299 --> 00:31:06.940
 Jesus answered

00:31:06.940 --> 00:31:08.559
 him, if I do

00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:09.400
 not wash you,

00:31:09.500 --> 00:31:10.240
 you have no

00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:11.360
 share with me.

00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:13.319
 Simon Peter

00:31:13.319 --> 00:31:13.960
 said to him,

00:31:14.039 --> 00:31:15.380
 Lord, not my

00:31:15.380 --> 00:31:16.019
 feet only, but

00:31:16.019 --> 00:31:16.799
 also my hands

00:31:16.799 --> 00:31:17.420
 and my head.

00:31:17.980 --> 00:31:18.259
 And Jesus

00:31:18.259 --> 00:31:18.940
 said to him,

00:31:18.940 --> 00:31:20.120
 the one who

00:31:20.120 --> 00:31:21.100
 has bathed

00:31:21.100 --> 00:31:21.980
 does not need

00:31:21.980 --> 00:31:23.799
 to wash except

00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:24.559
 for his feet,

00:31:24.860 --> 00:31:25.799
 but is completely

00:31:25.799 --> 00:31:26.860
 clean.

00:31:27.600 --> 00:31:28.420
 And you, I

00:31:28.420 --> 00:31:28.779
 mean, picture

00:31:28.779 --> 00:31:29.500
 being Peter

00:31:29.500 --> 00:31:30.140
 sitting there,

00:31:30.600 --> 00:31:31.019
 the servant

00:31:31.019 --> 00:31:31.600
 just washed

00:31:31.600 --> 00:31:31.960
 your feet,

00:31:32.059 --> 00:31:32.720
 Jesus Christ,

00:31:33.120 --> 00:31:33.660
 and he says,

00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:34.900
 and you are

00:31:34.900 --> 00:31:35.640
 clean.

00:31:37.779 --> 00:31:38.500
 Peter is the

00:31:38.500 --> 00:31:38.880
 one who has

00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:39.220
 just been

00:31:39.220 --> 00:31:39.880
 working, setting

00:31:39.880 --> 00:31:40.640
 up this Passover.

00:31:40.820 --> 00:31:41.420
 Maybe he smells

00:31:41.420 --> 00:31:42.759
 like smoke from

00:31:42.759 --> 00:31:43.519
 roasting the lamb

00:31:43.519 --> 00:31:45.620
 and he's probably,

00:31:46.000 --> 00:31:46.380
 I don't know if

00:31:46.380 --> 00:31:47.000
 they had deodorant

00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:47.480
 back then.

00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:48.720
 So Peter is

00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:49.360
 saying, I could

00:31:49.360 --> 00:31:49.799
 use a whole

00:31:49.799 --> 00:31:50.400
 bath because I

00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:51.000
 know I'm dirty.

00:31:51.500 --> 00:31:51.799
 And Jesus

00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:53.160
 says, yes, you

00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:53.620
 need to be

00:31:53.620 --> 00:31:53.920
 cleaned.

00:31:54.500 --> 00:31:55.380
 But Peter, it's

00:31:55.380 --> 00:31:56.259
 not your outside,

00:31:57.259 --> 00:31:58.620
 it's your inside.

00:31:58.960 --> 00:31:59.559
 It's your inner

00:31:59.559 --> 00:32:00.880
 man that needs

00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:01.299
 to be clean.

00:32:01.380 --> 00:32:03.039
 And Peter, you've

00:32:03.039 --> 00:32:04.319
 confessed, you

00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:04.900
 Lord have the

00:32:04.900 --> 00:32:05.640
 words of life.

00:32:06.099 --> 00:32:07.200
 You are my

00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:08.000
 Lord and my

00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:08.360
 God.

00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:09.259
 And Jesus

00:32:09.259 --> 00:32:10.279
 says, my spirit

00:32:10.279 --> 00:32:11.299
 through that

00:32:11.299 --> 00:32:11.799
 faith, through

00:32:11.799 --> 00:32:12.579
 that belief, my

00:32:12.579 --> 00:32:13.380
 spirit has made

00:32:13.380 --> 00:32:14.220
 you clean, Peter.

00:32:15.099 --> 00:32:16.400
 And you are

00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:17.140
 clean.

00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:22.339
 You're

00:32:22.339 --> 00:32:22.920
 clean not by

00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:24.140
 water or by an

00:32:24.140 --> 00:32:24.880
 outward act.

00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:27.019
 It's nothing that

00:32:27.019 --> 00:32:28.160
 we do that causes

00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:28.980
 us to be born

00:32:28.980 --> 00:32:29.559
 again.

00:32:30.180 --> 00:32:31.140
 The Holy Spirit

00:32:31.140 --> 00:32:33.000
 regenerates your

00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:33.380
 soul.

00:32:34.819 --> 00:32:35.579
 God says, I

00:32:35.579 --> 00:32:36.640
 breathe life into

00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:37.220
 you, just like I

00:32:37.220 --> 00:32:38.079
 breathe life into

00:32:38.079 --> 00:32:38.420
 Adam.

00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:39.620
 You're now part of

00:32:39.620 --> 00:32:40.299
 the new creation.

00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:41.360
 My spirit moves

00:32:41.360 --> 00:32:42.220
 with power.

00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:44.220
 My word goes

00:32:44.220 --> 00:32:44.839
 forth and it

00:32:44.839 --> 00:32:46.559
 creates life into

00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:47.839
 a dead soul.

00:32:50.339 --> 00:32:51.000
 You are

00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:52.019
 clean by faith

00:32:52.019 --> 00:32:52.819
 in the work

00:32:52.819 --> 00:32:53.980
 that I will

00:32:53.980 --> 00:32:54.779
 do for you on

00:32:54.779 --> 00:32:55.359
 the cross.

00:32:56.019 --> 00:32:57.019
 And church, you

00:32:57.019 --> 00:32:57.799
 believe this good

00:32:57.799 --> 00:32:58.159
 news.

00:32:59.200 --> 00:32:59.980
 If Christ has

00:32:59.980 --> 00:33:01.220
 breathed his

00:33:01.220 --> 00:33:02.700
 work of cleansing

00:33:02.700 --> 00:33:03.619
 into your heart by

00:33:03.619 --> 00:33:04.419
 the power of his

00:33:04.419 --> 00:33:05.659
 spirit, he says

00:33:05.659 --> 00:33:06.379
 those same words

00:33:06.379 --> 00:33:06.839
 to you.

00:33:07.399 --> 00:33:08.119
 You are

00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:08.679
 completely

00:33:08.679 --> 00:33:09.559
 clean.

00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:09.619
 clean.

00:33:11.299 --> 00:33:12.740
 You are

00:33:12.740 --> 00:33:13.639
 clean.

00:33:16.139 --> 00:33:17.000
 Believe this

00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:17.659
 good news.

00:33:18.460 --> 00:33:19.099
 The righteousness

00:33:19.099 --> 00:33:20.319
 of God himself in

00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:21.220
 the flesh, Jesus

00:33:21.220 --> 00:33:22.759
 Christ, is yours.

00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:24.579
 In Orthodox

00:33:24.579 --> 00:33:26.419
 Catechism, this is

00:33:26.419 --> 00:33:27.099
 from what we read

00:33:27.099 --> 00:33:28.419
 last week, even

00:33:28.419 --> 00:33:29.559
 though my conscience

00:33:29.559 --> 00:33:31.539
 accuses me of

00:33:31.539 --> 00:33:32.460
 having grievously

00:33:32.460 --> 00:33:34.259
 sinned against all

00:33:34.259 --> 00:33:34.899
 of God's

00:33:34.899 --> 00:33:35.899
 commandments and of

00:33:35.899 --> 00:33:37.039
 having never kept

00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:38.859
 any of them, and

00:33:38.859 --> 00:33:39.539
 even though I am

00:33:39.539 --> 00:33:40.699
 still inclined toward

00:33:40.699 --> 00:33:41.779
 all evil, nevertheless

00:33:41.779 --> 00:33:43.599
 without my deserving

00:33:43.599 --> 00:33:44.839
 it at all, out of

00:33:44.839 --> 00:33:46.459
 sheer grace, God

00:33:46.459 --> 00:33:47.719
 grants and

00:33:47.719 --> 00:33:48.819
 credits to me

00:33:48.819 --> 00:33:50.159
 the perfect

00:33:50.159 --> 00:33:50.899
 satisfaction,

00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:52.500
 righteousness, and

00:33:52.500 --> 00:33:53.619
 holiness of Christ,

00:33:54.019 --> 00:33:55.359
 as if I had

00:33:55.359 --> 00:33:56.259
 never sinned

00:33:56.259 --> 00:33:58.139
 or been a

00:33:58.139 --> 00:33:59.799
 sinner, as if I

00:33:59.799 --> 00:34:00.859
 had been as

00:34:00.859 --> 00:34:02.399
 perfectly obedient as

00:34:02.399 --> 00:34:03.459
 Christ was

00:34:03.459 --> 00:34:05.319
 obedient for me.

00:34:05.899 --> 00:34:07.000
 All I need to do

00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:08.119
 is accept this gift

00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:09.319
 of God with a

00:34:09.319 --> 00:34:10.519
 believing heart.

00:34:11.659 --> 00:34:12.239
 Isn't that good

00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:12.559
 news?

00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:14.940
 Well, that's

00:34:14.940 --> 00:34:15.679
 Peter, but there's

00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:16.920
 a contrast at the

00:34:16.920 --> 00:34:17.699
 end of verse 10.

00:34:19.539 --> 00:34:20.659
 The contrast is

00:34:20.659 --> 00:34:21.119
 Judas.

00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:22.319
 Notice what Jesus

00:34:22.319 --> 00:34:22.819
 says.

00:34:24.039 --> 00:34:24.880
 After having said,

00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:26.039
 you are clean, he

00:34:26.039 --> 00:34:27.480
 says, but not

00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:28.460
 every one of you.

00:34:28.679 --> 00:34:29.980
 Verse 11, for he

00:34:29.980 --> 00:34:31.639
 knew who was to

00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:32.319
 betray him.

00:34:33.079 --> 00:34:33.819
 That was why he

00:34:33.819 --> 00:34:35.319
 said, not all of

00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:36.460
 you are clean.

00:34:38.019 --> 00:34:38.760
 See, even though he

00:34:38.760 --> 00:34:40.220
 washed Judas' feet

00:34:40.220 --> 00:34:41.059
 on the outside,

00:34:41.920 --> 00:34:42.820
 Judas had a hard

00:34:42.820 --> 00:34:44.720
 heart, an

00:34:44.720 --> 00:34:45.840
 unrepenting heart,

00:34:46.300 --> 00:34:47.280
 which made him

00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:47.940
 unclean.

00:34:49.460 --> 00:34:50.559
 So even there in

00:34:50.559 --> 00:34:51.340
 that upper room, as

00:34:51.340 --> 00:34:52.620
 the glory of God is

00:34:52.620 --> 00:34:53.660
 shining through this

00:34:53.660 --> 00:34:55.100
 heavenly servant,

00:34:55.840 --> 00:34:56.400
 giving them a

00:34:56.400 --> 00:34:57.200
 picture lesson of

00:34:57.200 --> 00:34:58.460
 his glorious work

00:34:58.460 --> 00:35:00.420
 on the cross, in

00:35:00.420 --> 00:35:01.660
 this bright, glorious

00:35:01.660 --> 00:35:02.740
 light of the room,

00:35:02.739 --> 00:35:04.079
 the dark shadow

00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:05.000
 of Satan lurks

00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:07.559
 over Judas with a

00:35:07.559 --> 00:35:08.319
 hard heart of

00:35:08.319 --> 00:35:09.039
 unbelief.

00:35:11.619 --> 00:35:12.899
 John Gill commented

00:35:12.899 --> 00:35:13.719
 that among the

00:35:13.719 --> 00:35:14.819
 purest of churches,

00:35:15.259 --> 00:35:16.239
 there are unclean

00:35:16.239 --> 00:35:16.819
 persons.

00:35:17.339 --> 00:35:18.359
 There are chaff among

00:35:18.359 --> 00:35:19.899
 the wheat, goats

00:35:19.899 --> 00:35:20.819
 among the sheep.

00:35:22.319 --> 00:35:23.459
 So may this be a

00:35:23.459 --> 00:35:24.399
 caution to all of us.

00:35:24.459 --> 00:35:25.319
 We are so close.

00:35:25.459 --> 00:35:26.559
 Judas was so close

00:35:26.559 --> 00:35:28.000
 to Christ.

00:35:28.659 --> 00:35:29.559
 He had heard the

00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:29.899
 teaching.

00:35:30.379 --> 00:35:31.239
 He had the gospel

00:35:31.239 --> 00:35:32.439
 presented as clearly,

00:35:32.739 --> 00:35:33.479
 as could be.

00:35:35.339 --> 00:35:36.319
 And yet he was

00:35:36.319 --> 00:35:38.219
 unclean because his

00:35:38.219 --> 00:35:39.959
 heart was not owned

00:35:39.959 --> 00:35:40.899
 by God himself.

00:35:42.619 --> 00:35:43.539
 And if you have

00:35:43.539 --> 00:35:44.359
 understood the

00:35:44.359 --> 00:35:45.639
 gospel, if you're

00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:46.599
 understanding more

00:35:46.599 --> 00:35:47.559
 and desiring more,

00:35:48.359 --> 00:35:49.159
 take heed the words

00:35:49.159 --> 00:35:49.959
 of a Puritan,

00:35:50.099 --> 00:35:50.679
 John Flabel.

00:35:50.799 --> 00:35:51.139
 He said,

00:35:51.239 --> 00:35:51.879
 the greatest

00:35:51.879 --> 00:35:53.579
 difficulty after

00:35:53.579 --> 00:35:55.799
 conversion is to

00:35:55.799 --> 00:35:57.119
 keep the heart

00:35:57.119 --> 00:35:59.000
 with God,

00:35:59.439 --> 00:36:00.539
 to keep trusting

00:36:00.539 --> 00:36:01.199
 God,

00:36:01.199 --> 00:36:03.419
 to keep repenting

00:36:03.419 --> 00:36:04.719
 and trusting

00:36:04.719 --> 00:36:05.759
 that Christ

00:36:05.759 --> 00:36:06.579
 is the one

00:36:06.579 --> 00:36:07.439
 who washes you

00:36:07.439 --> 00:36:08.239
 and presents you

00:36:08.239 --> 00:36:09.839
 righteous in Christ

00:36:09.839 --> 00:36:10.219
 alone.

00:36:11.299 --> 00:36:12.579
 It's God who must

00:36:12.579 --> 00:36:13.859
 apply inwardly

00:36:13.859 --> 00:36:14.939
 the work of

00:36:14.939 --> 00:36:15.659
 heaven's servant

00:36:15.659 --> 00:36:16.960
 in order for you

00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:17.659
 to be truly

00:36:17.659 --> 00:36:18.719
 cleansed.

00:36:19.419 --> 00:36:20.519
 Ask him to do that,

00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:21.439
 maybe for the first

00:36:21.439 --> 00:36:21.779
 time,

00:36:22.319 --> 00:36:23.500
 and ask him to do it

00:36:23.500 --> 00:36:24.779
 again and again

00:36:24.779 --> 00:36:25.439
 and again.

00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:27.820
 my fifth observation

00:36:27.820 --> 00:36:28.900
 is that the

00:36:28.900 --> 00:36:29.900
 heavenly servant's

00:36:29.900 --> 00:36:32.619
 love is an act

00:36:32.619 --> 00:36:33.380
 for us and it's

00:36:33.380 --> 00:36:34.340
 also in Christ's

00:36:34.340 --> 00:36:34.780
 own words,

00:36:34.900 --> 00:36:35.740
 it is also an

00:36:35.740 --> 00:36:36.980
 example for us

00:36:36.980 --> 00:36:37.780
 who belong to

00:36:37.780 --> 00:36:38.039
 him.

00:36:38.820 --> 00:36:39.980
 But my caution is

00:36:39.980 --> 00:36:41.400
 that we need the

00:36:41.400 --> 00:36:42.440
 heavenly servant's

00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:44.019
 love even to

00:36:44.019 --> 00:36:45.000
 follow his example.

00:36:45.700 --> 00:36:47.220
 We need his love,

00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:48.599
 not just a one-time

00:36:48.599 --> 00:36:48.980
 washing,

00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:49.960
 we need his love

00:36:49.960 --> 00:36:51.320
 to be the force

00:36:51.320 --> 00:36:52.900
 that energizes us

00:36:52.900 --> 00:36:53.660
 and that carries

00:36:53.660 --> 00:36:55.039
 us as we seek

00:36:55.039 --> 00:36:56.059
 to follow this

00:36:56.059 --> 00:36:56.940
 example he's laid

00:36:56.940 --> 00:36:57.740
 down for us.

00:36:58.519 --> 00:36:59.400
 Look at verse 13,

00:36:59.519 --> 00:36:59.980
 Jesus said,

00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:00.500
 you call me

00:37:00.500 --> 00:37:01.840
 teacher and

00:37:01.840 --> 00:37:02.920
 Lord and you

00:37:02.920 --> 00:37:03.860
 are right for so

00:37:03.860 --> 00:37:05.039
 I am.

00:37:06.180 --> 00:37:07.039
 If I then,

00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:08.180
 your Lord and

00:37:08.180 --> 00:37:08.519
 teacher,

00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:09.500
 have washed

00:37:09.500 --> 00:37:10.280
 your feet,

00:37:10.720 --> 00:37:12.019
 you also ought

00:37:12.019 --> 00:37:13.039
 to wash

00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:14.119
 one another's

00:37:14.119 --> 00:37:14.740
 feet.

00:37:15.460 --> 00:37:15.800
 Remember,

00:37:15.900 --> 00:37:16.480
 they were arguing

00:37:16.480 --> 00:37:17.059
 about who is

00:37:17.059 --> 00:37:17.599
 the greatest.

00:37:18.500 --> 00:37:18.740
 He says,

00:37:18.800 --> 00:37:19.240
 this is how

00:37:19.240 --> 00:37:20.160
 my kingdom

00:37:20.160 --> 00:37:21.059
 will be defined.

00:37:21.059 --> 00:37:23.599
 verse 15,

00:37:23.699 --> 00:37:24.299
 for I have

00:37:24.299 --> 00:37:24.840
 given you

00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:25.960
 an example

00:37:25.960 --> 00:37:27.239
 that you also

00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:27.880
 should do

00:37:27.880 --> 00:37:28.639
 just as I have

00:37:28.639 --> 00:37:29.619
 done to you.

00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:31.400
 Truly,

00:37:31.579 --> 00:37:31.759
 truly,

00:37:31.900 --> 00:37:32.599
 I say to you,

00:37:32.679 --> 00:37:33.199
 a servant

00:37:33.199 --> 00:37:34.079
 is not greater

00:37:34.079 --> 00:37:34.820
 than his master

00:37:34.820 --> 00:37:36.519
 nor a messenger

00:37:36.519 --> 00:37:37.840
 greater than

00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:38.679
 the one who

00:37:38.679 --> 00:37:39.219
 sent him.

00:37:39.779 --> 00:37:40.599
 If you know

00:37:40.599 --> 00:37:41.340
 these things,

00:37:41.900 --> 00:37:42.880
 blessed are you

00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:43.980
 if you do

00:37:43.980 --> 00:37:44.259
 them.

00:37:47.860 --> 00:37:48.820
 He says,

00:37:49.179 --> 00:37:49.820
 the messenger

00:37:49.820 --> 00:37:52.059
 the messenger

00:37:52.059 --> 00:37:53.660
 is not

00:37:53.660 --> 00:37:54.500
 greater than

00:37:54.500 --> 00:37:55.059
 the master.

00:37:56.360 --> 00:37:57.000
 The word

00:37:57.000 --> 00:37:57.760
 messenger here

00:37:57.760 --> 00:37:58.600
 is a sent

00:37:58.600 --> 00:37:58.880
 one,

00:37:59.059 --> 00:37:59.460
 a one who

00:37:59.460 --> 00:37:59.740
 has been

00:37:59.740 --> 00:38:00.200
 sent,

00:38:00.760 --> 00:38:01.340
 and it's

00:38:01.340 --> 00:38:01.640
 the word

00:38:01.640 --> 00:38:02.400
 for apostle.

00:38:03.900 --> 00:38:04.680
 So for his

00:38:04.680 --> 00:38:05.120
 disciples,

00:38:05.240 --> 00:38:05.680
 he says,

00:38:06.320 --> 00:38:07.320
 you are my

00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:07.880
 apostles,

00:38:08.080 --> 00:38:08.519
 you are my

00:38:08.519 --> 00:38:09.600
 sent ones.

00:38:10.620 --> 00:38:11.080
 Now remember,

00:38:11.220 --> 00:38:11.700
 Jesus has

00:38:11.700 --> 00:38:12.440
 taken on

00:38:12.440 --> 00:38:13.880
 the role

00:38:13.880 --> 00:38:14.460
 of being a

00:38:14.460 --> 00:38:14.740
 servant,

00:38:15.019 --> 00:38:15.600
 being obedient

00:38:15.600 --> 00:38:16.200
 to his

00:38:16.200 --> 00:38:16.539
 father.

00:38:17.080 --> 00:38:17.519
 All the

00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:18.280
 servant passages

00:38:18.280 --> 00:38:18.900
 of Isaiah,

00:38:19.260 --> 00:38:20.040
 Christ fulfills

00:38:20.040 --> 00:38:20.500
 as the

00:38:20.500 --> 00:38:21.019
 sent one

00:38:21.019 --> 00:38:21.660
 of God.

00:38:22.100 --> 00:38:22.380
 Remember,

00:38:23.040 --> 00:38:23.660
 for love,

00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:24.300
 God sent

00:38:24.300 --> 00:38:24.660
 his only

00:38:24.660 --> 00:38:25.040
 begotten

00:38:25.040 --> 00:38:25.240
 one.

00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:25.980
 Jesus was

00:38:25.980 --> 00:38:26.440
 the sent

00:38:26.440 --> 00:38:26.700
 one.

00:38:27.500 --> 00:38:27.880
 Now he

00:38:27.880 --> 00:38:28.200
 says,

00:38:28.560 --> 00:38:28.940
 I was

00:38:28.940 --> 00:38:29.300
 sent by

00:38:29.300 --> 00:38:29.740
 the father

00:38:29.740 --> 00:38:30.220
 on this

00:38:30.220 --> 00:38:30.580
 mission,

00:38:31.280 --> 00:38:31.540
 and in

00:38:31.540 --> 00:38:31.880
 the same

00:38:31.880 --> 00:38:32.180
 way I

00:38:32.180 --> 00:38:32.660
 was sent,

00:38:33.060 --> 00:38:33.440
 disciples,

00:38:33.700 --> 00:38:34.040
 I am

00:38:34.040 --> 00:38:34.400
 sending

00:38:34.400 --> 00:38:35.519
 you into

00:38:35.519 --> 00:38:35.980
 the world.

00:38:38.580 --> 00:38:39.500
 Luke 22

00:38:39.500 --> 00:38:40.040
 sheds more

00:38:40.040 --> 00:38:40.380
 light on

00:38:40.380 --> 00:38:40.560
 this.

00:38:40.660 --> 00:38:41.360
 Luke 22

00:38:41.360 --> 00:38:42.200
 verse 26,

00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:42.700
 you shall

00:38:42.700 --> 00:38:43.320
 not be

00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:43.860
 like the

00:38:43.860 --> 00:38:44.240
 world,

00:38:44.980 --> 00:38:45.360
 but he

00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:45.740
 that is

00:38:45.739 --> 00:38:46.059
 greatest

00:38:46.059 --> 00:38:46.539
 among

00:38:46.539 --> 00:38:47.239
 you,

00:38:47.699 --> 00:38:48.199
 let him

00:38:48.199 --> 00:38:48.799
 be as

00:38:48.799 --> 00:38:49.000
 the

00:38:49.000 --> 00:38:49.379
 younger,

00:38:50.139 --> 00:38:50.479
 and he

00:38:50.479 --> 00:38:50.819
 that is

00:38:50.819 --> 00:38:51.419
 chief,

00:38:51.799 --> 00:38:52.199
 as he

00:38:52.199 --> 00:38:52.419
 that

00:38:52.419 --> 00:38:52.979
 serves.

00:38:53.319 --> 00:38:53.939
 I am

00:38:53.939 --> 00:38:54.259
 among

00:38:54.259 --> 00:38:55.079
 you as

00:38:55.079 --> 00:38:55.439
 he that

00:38:55.439 --> 00:38:56.019
 serves.

00:38:56.899 --> 00:38:57.319
 Now listen

00:38:57.319 --> 00:38:57.739
 to this

00:38:57.739 --> 00:38:58.099
 part of

00:38:58.099 --> 00:38:58.579
 the covenant

00:38:58.579 --> 00:38:59.179
 that Christ

00:38:59.179 --> 00:38:59.819
 was

00:38:59.819 --> 00:39:00.459
 covenanted

00:39:00.459 --> 00:39:01.159
 a kingdom

00:39:01.159 --> 00:39:01.539
 from the

00:39:01.539 --> 00:39:01.779
 father,

00:39:01.859 --> 00:39:02.000
 and he

00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:02.419
 turns around

00:39:02.419 --> 00:39:03.379
 and covenants

00:39:03.379 --> 00:39:04.299
 this to

00:39:04.299 --> 00:39:04.899
 the apostles

00:39:04.899 --> 00:39:05.399
 in the

00:39:05.399 --> 00:39:05.799
 church.

00:39:06.859 --> 00:39:07.419
 Luke 22

00:39:07.419 --> 00:39:08.059
 verse 28

00:39:08.059 --> 00:39:08.379
 says,

00:39:08.579 --> 00:39:09.279
 you have

00:39:09.279 --> 00:39:09.759
 continued

00:39:09.759 --> 00:39:10.159
 with me

00:39:10.159 --> 00:39:10.759
 through trials,

00:39:10.899 --> 00:39:11.459
 verse 29,

00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:12.579
 and I

00:39:12.579 --> 00:39:13.259
 appoint,

00:39:13.559 --> 00:39:14.279
 I covenant

00:39:14.279 --> 00:39:15.159
 unto you

00:39:15.159 --> 00:39:16.039
 a kingdom,

00:39:16.579 --> 00:39:17.219
 as my

00:39:17.219 --> 00:39:17.859
 father has

00:39:17.859 --> 00:39:18.420
 appointed

00:39:18.420 --> 00:39:19.399
 or covenanted

00:39:19.399 --> 00:39:20.379
 a kingdom

00:39:20.379 --> 00:39:21.599
 unto me,

00:39:22.279 --> 00:39:22.759
 that you

00:39:22.759 --> 00:39:23.359
 may eat

00:39:23.359 --> 00:39:24.119
 and drink

00:39:24.119 --> 00:39:24.559
 at my

00:39:24.559 --> 00:39:24.940
 table,

00:39:25.399 --> 00:39:26.079
 and rule

00:39:26.079 --> 00:39:26.819
 in my

00:39:26.819 --> 00:39:27.159
 kingdom.

00:39:28.839 --> 00:39:29.739
 So it's

00:39:29.739 --> 00:39:30.259
 Independence

00:39:30.259 --> 00:39:30.619
 Day,

00:39:31.019 --> 00:39:31.519
 they have

00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:32.119
 thoughts of

00:39:32.119 --> 00:39:33.099
 a revolution,

00:39:33.279 --> 00:39:33.639
 of taking

00:39:33.639 --> 00:39:34.319
 over political

00:39:34.319 --> 00:39:34.739
 power,

00:39:34.839 --> 00:39:35.339
 of toppling

00:39:35.339 --> 00:39:35.739
 over the

00:39:35.739 --> 00:39:36.359
 Roman Empire,

00:39:36.739 --> 00:39:37.420
 and Jesus

00:39:37.420 --> 00:39:37.779
 says,

00:39:37.940 --> 00:39:38.339
 I have

00:39:38.339 --> 00:39:38.779
 a kingdom,

00:39:39.779 --> 00:39:41.739
 my kingdom

00:39:41.739 --> 00:39:42.579
 is a kingdom

00:39:42.579 --> 00:39:43.139
 of heaven,

00:39:43.359 --> 00:39:44.119
 and it

00:39:44.119 --> 00:39:44.500
 turns the

00:39:44.500 --> 00:39:44.960
 values of

00:39:44.960 --> 00:39:45.280
 the world

00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:45.980
 upside down.

00:39:47.099 --> 00:39:47.460
 In the

00:39:47.460 --> 00:39:47.920
 kingdom of

00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:48.239
 heaven,

00:39:48.880 --> 00:39:49.559
 my people

00:39:49.559 --> 00:39:50.460
 will be

00:39:50.460 --> 00:39:51.079
 like me.

00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:51.900
 They will

00:39:51.900 --> 00:39:52.539
 make themselves

00:39:52.539 --> 00:39:53.139
 lowly,

00:39:53.199 --> 00:39:53.500
 and they

00:39:53.500 --> 00:39:54.260
 will serve.

00:39:55.260 --> 00:39:55.659
 They will

00:39:55.659 --> 00:39:56.380
 exhibit the

00:39:56.380 --> 00:39:57.579
 glorious character

00:39:57.579 --> 00:39:58.280
 and compassion

00:39:58.280 --> 00:39:58.940
 of God

00:39:58.940 --> 00:40:00.159
 to this world

00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:00.659
 and to one

00:40:00.659 --> 00:40:00.980
 another.

00:40:01.239 --> 00:40:01.760
 That's my

00:40:01.760 --> 00:40:02.039
 kingdom.

00:40:02.760 --> 00:40:03.099
 You want to

00:40:03.099 --> 00:40:03.579
 have a part

00:40:03.579 --> 00:40:03.880
 of my

00:40:03.880 --> 00:40:04.139
 kingdom,

00:40:04.420 --> 00:40:05.039
 I give

00:40:05.039 --> 00:40:05.380
 it to you.

00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:05.940
 I covenant

00:40:05.940 --> 00:40:06.800
 my kingdom

00:40:06.800 --> 00:40:07.340
 with you.

00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:08.300
 Just as the

00:40:08.300 --> 00:40:08.800
 Father sent

00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:08.980
 me,

00:40:09.059 --> 00:40:09.699
 I send you

00:40:09.699 --> 00:40:10.539
 into the

00:40:10.539 --> 00:40:10.860
 world.

00:40:12.119 --> 00:40:12.760
 Do as I

00:40:12.760 --> 00:40:13.179
 have done.

00:40:13.179 --> 00:40:14.299
 Do you

00:40:14.299 --> 00:40:14.739
 belong to

00:40:14.739 --> 00:40:15.199
 my kingdom?

00:40:15.619 --> 00:40:16.199
 It will

00:40:16.199 --> 00:40:16.739
 be evident.

00:40:16.859 --> 00:40:17.119
 It will

00:40:17.119 --> 00:40:17.559
 be evident

00:40:17.559 --> 00:40:18.079
 whether you

00:40:18.079 --> 00:40:19.059
 do or

00:40:19.059 --> 00:40:19.559
 whether you're

00:40:19.559 --> 00:40:20.699
 outside of

00:40:20.699 --> 00:40:21.179
 my kingdom.

00:40:21.699 --> 00:40:22.379
 If Christ

00:40:22.379 --> 00:40:22.819
 is your

00:40:22.819 --> 00:40:23.299
 king too,

00:40:23.399 --> 00:40:23.699
 church,

00:40:24.059 --> 00:40:24.679
 if you are

00:40:24.679 --> 00:40:25.339
 so filled

00:40:25.339 --> 00:40:25.899
 with his

00:40:25.899 --> 00:40:27.419
 love and

00:40:27.419 --> 00:40:27.940
 he rules

00:40:27.940 --> 00:40:28.359
 over you

00:40:28.359 --> 00:40:28.759
 as your

00:40:28.759 --> 00:40:29.119
 lord,

00:40:29.359 --> 00:40:29.879
 as your

00:40:29.879 --> 00:40:30.199
 king,

00:40:31.199 --> 00:40:32.259
 it will

00:40:32.259 --> 00:40:32.639
 be his

00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:33.279
 energy that

00:40:33.279 --> 00:40:33.779
 sustains

00:40:33.779 --> 00:40:34.000
 you.

00:40:34.599 --> 00:40:34.960
 You will

00:40:34.960 --> 00:40:35.759
 desire to

00:40:35.759 --> 00:40:36.319
 serve him.

00:40:37.219 --> 00:40:37.639
 You will

00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:38.279
 desire to

00:40:38.279 --> 00:40:38.839
 serve those

00:40:38.839 --> 00:40:39.379
 he has

00:40:39.379 --> 00:40:39.899
 given you.

00:40:39.900 --> 00:40:42.200
 your energy

00:40:42.200 --> 00:40:42.940
 to serve

00:40:42.940 --> 00:40:43.720
 will not

00:40:43.720 --> 00:40:44.180
 be something

00:40:44.180 --> 00:40:44.539
 you've

00:40:44.539 --> 00:40:45.240
 manufactured.

00:40:45.420 --> 00:40:45.599
 It will

00:40:45.599 --> 00:40:46.119
 be energy

00:40:46.119 --> 00:40:46.820
 from heaven

00:40:46.820 --> 00:40:47.420
 itself,

00:40:48.619 --> 00:40:49.280
 implanted

00:40:49.280 --> 00:40:50.039
 within you.

00:40:50.720 --> 00:40:50.900
 It will

00:40:50.900 --> 00:40:51.460
 be a

00:40:51.460 --> 00:40:51.720
 joy.

00:40:52.960 --> 00:40:53.240
 You will

00:40:53.240 --> 00:40:53.820
 be ruled

00:40:53.820 --> 00:40:54.400
 by a

00:40:54.400 --> 00:40:54.539
 law,

00:40:54.619 --> 00:40:54.780
 but it

00:40:54.780 --> 00:40:54.960
 will be

00:40:54.960 --> 00:40:55.400
 the law

00:40:55.400 --> 00:40:55.940
 of Christ.

00:40:56.740 --> 00:40:57.400
 The perfect

00:40:57.400 --> 00:40:58.160
 God who

00:40:58.160 --> 00:40:58.760
 is love

00:40:58.760 --> 00:40:59.599
 puts his

00:40:59.599 --> 00:41:00.180
 life and

00:41:00.180 --> 00:41:00.760
 his law

00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:01.579
 inside your

00:41:01.579 --> 00:41:02.000
 heart and

00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:02.440
 your mind

00:41:02.440 --> 00:41:03.079
 if you

00:41:03.079 --> 00:41:03.619
 belong to

00:41:03.619 --> 00:41:04.079
 his kingdom.

00:41:06.300 --> 00:41:07.000
 Remember that

00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:07.400
 quote I

00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:07.940
 started with?

00:41:08.039 --> 00:41:08.380
 I want you

00:41:08.380 --> 00:41:08.960
 to think back

00:41:08.960 --> 00:41:09.260
 on that

00:41:09.260 --> 00:41:09.800
 quote now

00:41:09.800 --> 00:41:10.320
 that we've

00:41:10.320 --> 00:41:10.640
 seen what

00:41:10.640 --> 00:41:11.120
 Christ has

00:41:11.120 --> 00:41:11.480
 taught in

00:41:11.480 --> 00:41:12.080
 these verses.

00:41:12.820 --> 00:41:13.100
 G.K.

00:41:13.180 --> 00:41:13.560
 Chesterton,

00:41:13.720 --> 00:41:14.180
 Christianity

00:41:14.180 --> 00:41:16.040
 has not been

00:41:16.040 --> 00:41:16.800
 tried and

00:41:16.800 --> 00:41:17.600
 found wanting.

00:41:18.260 --> 00:41:18.640
 Christianity

00:41:18.640 --> 00:41:19.220
 has been

00:41:19.220 --> 00:41:19.980
 found difficult

00:41:19.980 --> 00:41:21.140
 and left

00:41:21.140 --> 00:41:22.140
 untried.

00:41:23.480 --> 00:41:24.420
 It's difficult

00:41:24.420 --> 00:41:25.040
 if you try to

00:41:25.040 --> 00:41:25.440
 do it on

00:41:25.440 --> 00:41:25.780
 your own

00:41:25.780 --> 00:41:26.300
 strength.

00:41:26.740 --> 00:41:27.120
 It's

00:41:27.120 --> 00:41:27.620
 impossible.

00:41:29.520 --> 00:41:30.240
 But you

00:41:30.240 --> 00:41:31.640
 need the

00:41:31.640 --> 00:41:31.960
 heavenly

00:41:31.960 --> 00:41:32.560
 servant's

00:41:32.560 --> 00:41:33.940
 love to

00:41:33.940 --> 00:41:34.680
 even obey

00:41:34.680 --> 00:41:35.340
 what he

00:41:35.340 --> 00:41:35.740
 calls you

00:41:35.740 --> 00:41:36.120
 to do.

00:41:36.460 --> 00:41:36.680
 And if

00:41:36.680 --> 00:41:37.140
 you belong

00:41:37.140 --> 00:41:37.480
 to his

00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:37.780
 kingdom,

00:41:37.940 --> 00:41:38.480
 you have

00:41:38.480 --> 00:41:39.420
 his power

00:41:39.420 --> 00:41:40.039
 and his

00:41:40.039 --> 00:41:40.420
 energy

00:41:40.420 --> 00:41:41.340
 working in

00:41:41.340 --> 00:41:41.519
 you.

00:41:42.260 --> 00:41:42.800
 Jesus knew

00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:43.099
 that the

00:41:43.099 --> 00:41:43.559
 father had

00:41:43.559 --> 00:41:44.099
 given all

00:41:44.099 --> 00:41:44.639
 things into

00:41:44.639 --> 00:41:45.179
 his hand.

00:41:45.980 --> 00:41:46.400
 The father

00:41:46.400 --> 00:41:47.000
 had promised

00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:47.300
 him,

00:41:47.400 --> 00:41:47.820
 the son,

00:41:48.219 --> 00:41:48.719
 a people

00:41:48.719 --> 00:41:49.139
 and a

00:41:49.139 --> 00:41:49.420
 kingdom

00:41:49.420 --> 00:41:50.320
 upon the

00:41:50.320 --> 00:41:51.000
 condition of

00:41:51.000 --> 00:41:51.599
 his work

00:41:51.599 --> 00:41:52.679
 as heaven's

00:41:52.679 --> 00:41:52.940
 servant.

00:41:54.519 --> 00:41:55.099
 And he

00:41:55.099 --> 00:41:55.860
 promised this

00:41:55.860 --> 00:41:57.019
 to reveal

00:41:57.019 --> 00:41:58.400
 God is

00:41:58.400 --> 00:41:59.199
 love.

00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:00.880
 So when you

00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:01.340
 think of your

00:42:01.340 --> 00:42:01.800
 salvation,

00:42:02.059 --> 00:42:02.519
 you think of

00:42:02.519 --> 00:42:03.860
 God's glorious

00:42:03.860 --> 00:42:04.719
 foreknowledge and

00:42:04.719 --> 00:42:05.699
 predestination and

00:42:05.699 --> 00:42:07.139
 how he's elected a

00:42:07.139 --> 00:42:07.579
 people and

00:42:07.579 --> 00:42:08.000
 given that

00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:08.839
 people to

00:42:08.839 --> 00:42:09.400
 his son,

00:42:09.839 --> 00:42:10.339
 think of

00:42:10.339 --> 00:42:10.879
 one word.

00:42:11.039 --> 00:42:11.379
 Think of

00:42:11.379 --> 00:42:13.159
 God's love.

00:42:14.440 --> 00:42:15.079
 It's love.

00:42:15.920 --> 00:42:16.559
 John Fesco

00:42:16.559 --> 00:42:16.879
 said,

00:42:17.339 --> 00:42:17.539
 it was

00:42:17.539 --> 00:42:18.119
 Trinitarian

00:42:18.119 --> 00:42:18.819
 love.

00:42:19.599 --> 00:42:20.199
 Trinitarian

00:42:20.199 --> 00:42:21.619
 love overflowed

00:42:21.619 --> 00:42:21.960
 at the

00:42:21.960 --> 00:42:22.359
 father's

00:42:22.359 --> 00:42:22.719
 command.

00:42:23.379 --> 00:42:23.599
 It was

00:42:23.599 --> 00:42:24.139
 Trinitarian

00:42:24.139 --> 00:42:24.940
 love that

00:42:24.940 --> 00:42:26.579
 overflows in

00:42:26.579 --> 00:42:27.059
 the son's

00:42:27.059 --> 00:42:27.599
 obedience.

00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:28.639
 It was

00:42:28.639 --> 00:42:29.139
 Trinitarian

00:42:29.139 --> 00:42:30.239
 love in

00:42:30.239 --> 00:42:30.900
 the spirit's

00:42:30.900 --> 00:42:31.719
 outpouring to

00:42:31.719 --> 00:42:33.119
 redeem fallen

00:42:33.119 --> 00:42:33.779
 sinners.

00:42:33.780 --> 00:42:35.920
 It's far

00:42:35.920 --> 00:42:36.519
 from a

00:42:36.519 --> 00:42:36.900
 piece of

00:42:36.900 --> 00:42:37.540
 cold business

00:42:37.540 --> 00:42:38.420
 of moving

00:42:38.420 --> 00:42:39.040
 numbers from

00:42:39.040 --> 00:42:39.700
 one side of

00:42:39.700 --> 00:42:40.220
 a ledger to

00:42:40.220 --> 00:42:40.680
 the other.

00:42:41.820 --> 00:42:42.500
 Fesco wrote,

00:42:43.160 --> 00:42:43.600
 the father

00:42:43.600 --> 00:42:44.240
 sends the

00:42:44.240 --> 00:42:44.920
 son in

00:42:44.920 --> 00:42:45.280
 love.

00:42:45.800 --> 00:42:46.220
 The son

00:42:46.220 --> 00:42:46.880
 obeys the

00:42:46.880 --> 00:42:47.800
 father in

00:42:47.800 --> 00:42:48.160
 love.

00:42:48.400 --> 00:42:48.800
 And the

00:42:48.800 --> 00:42:49.680
 spirit applies

00:42:49.680 --> 00:42:50.280
 the son's

00:42:50.280 --> 00:42:51.320
 work in

00:42:51.320 --> 00:42:52.160
 love.

00:42:53.200 --> 00:42:53.720
 God

00:42:53.720 --> 00:42:54.660
 loves you.

00:42:57.140 --> 00:42:57.900
 And Jesus,

00:42:58.120 --> 00:42:58.680
 his hour had

00:42:58.680 --> 00:42:59.060
 come to

00:42:59.060 --> 00:42:59.760
 depart out of

00:42:59.760 --> 00:43:00.300
 this world

00:43:00.300 --> 00:43:01.220
 and having

00:43:01.220 --> 00:43:02.240
 loved his

00:43:02.240 --> 00:43:03.420
 own who

00:43:03.420 --> 00:43:03.680
 were in

00:43:03.680 --> 00:43:04.000
 the world.

00:43:04.099 --> 00:43:04.599
 He loved

00:43:04.599 --> 00:43:05.460
 them to

00:43:05.460 --> 00:43:06.500
 the end.

00:43:09.360 --> 00:43:10.240
 For love,

00:43:11.200 --> 00:43:11.740
 the father

00:43:11.740 --> 00:43:12.340
 sent his

00:43:12.340 --> 00:43:13.079
 only begotten

00:43:13.079 --> 00:43:13.460
 son.

00:43:14.400 --> 00:43:14.940
 The son

00:43:14.940 --> 00:43:15.340
 would not

00:43:15.340 --> 00:43:15.720
 come up

00:43:15.720 --> 00:43:16.200
 short in

00:43:16.200 --> 00:43:16.639
 his mission.

00:43:16.740 --> 00:43:16.880
 It would

00:43:16.880 --> 00:43:17.139
 be that

00:43:17.139 --> 00:43:17.599
 same love

00:43:17.599 --> 00:43:18.059
 that sent

00:43:18.059 --> 00:43:18.659
 him that

00:43:18.659 --> 00:43:19.400
 would sustain

00:43:19.400 --> 00:43:19.780
 him to

00:43:19.780 --> 00:43:20.099
 the very

00:43:20.099 --> 00:43:20.680
 last day.

00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:22.720
 If you

00:43:22.720 --> 00:43:23.079
 feel like

00:43:23.079 --> 00:43:23.460
 you're running

00:43:23.460 --> 00:43:24.000
 low on

00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:24.360
 love,

00:43:24.980 --> 00:43:25.480
 it's the

00:43:25.480 --> 00:43:26.079
 same love

00:43:26.079 --> 00:43:26.480
 that will

00:43:26.480 --> 00:43:27.340
 sustain you

00:43:27.340 --> 00:43:27.800
 to the

00:43:27.800 --> 00:43:28.059
 end.

00:43:29.260 --> 00:43:29.780
 I need

00:43:29.780 --> 00:43:30.180
 more of

00:43:30.180 --> 00:43:30.599
 God's love

00:43:30.599 --> 00:43:30.900
 in my

00:43:30.900 --> 00:43:31.200
 heart.

00:43:31.199 --> 00:43:33.619
 For love,

00:43:33.719 --> 00:43:34.379
 Christ would

00:43:34.379 --> 00:43:34.819
 be lifted

00:43:34.819 --> 00:43:35.179
 up.

00:43:36.099 --> 00:43:36.439
 It was

00:43:36.439 --> 00:43:37.000
 for love

00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:37.299
 that he

00:43:37.299 --> 00:43:37.919
 set his

00:43:37.919 --> 00:43:38.619
 face like

00:43:38.619 --> 00:43:39.699
 flint to

00:43:39.699 --> 00:43:40.239
 the cross.

00:43:41.179 --> 00:43:41.699
 It was

00:43:41.699 --> 00:43:42.239
 for love

00:43:42.239 --> 00:43:42.619
 that the

00:43:42.619 --> 00:43:42.980
 son,

00:43:43.439 --> 00:43:43.679
 Jesus,

00:43:43.879 --> 00:43:44.419
 served his

00:43:44.419 --> 00:43:45.279
 own and

00:43:45.279 --> 00:43:45.839
 washed their

00:43:45.839 --> 00:43:46.099
 feet.

00:43:47.159 --> 00:43:47.719
 For love,

00:43:47.799 --> 00:43:48.239
 he took

00:43:48.239 --> 00:43:49.419
 your sin,

00:43:49.619 --> 00:43:50.139
 if you're a

00:43:50.139 --> 00:43:50.399
 believer,

00:43:50.819 --> 00:43:51.799
 onto himself.

00:43:54.039 --> 00:43:54.879
 For love,

00:43:54.960 --> 00:43:55.399
 he bore

00:43:55.399 --> 00:43:55.980
 your sin

00:43:55.980 --> 00:43:56.399
 and mine

00:43:56.399 --> 00:43:57.460
 on the

00:43:57.460 --> 00:43:57.719
 tree.

00:43:57.719 --> 00:44:01.079
 God's

00:44:01.079 --> 00:44:01.480
 love,

00:44:02.000 --> 00:44:02.519
 it's by

00:44:02.519 --> 00:44:02.859
 God's

00:44:02.859 --> 00:44:03.139
 love that

00:44:03.139 --> 00:44:03.559
 he rules

00:44:03.559 --> 00:44:04.059
 over his

00:44:04.059 --> 00:44:04.699
 church today.

00:44:06.179 --> 00:44:06.719
 It's

00:44:06.719 --> 00:44:07.279
 because God

00:44:07.279 --> 00:44:07.719
 is love

00:44:07.719 --> 00:44:08.459
 overflowing

00:44:08.459 --> 00:44:08.819
 that he

00:44:08.819 --> 00:44:09.839
 fills the

00:44:09.839 --> 00:44:10.339
 hearts and

00:44:10.339 --> 00:44:10.739
 souls of

00:44:10.739 --> 00:44:11.099
 his own

00:44:11.099 --> 00:44:12.099
 people with

00:44:12.099 --> 00:44:12.500
 God's

00:44:12.500 --> 00:44:12.819
 love.

00:44:14.759 --> 00:44:15.500
 So when

00:44:15.500 --> 00:44:16.419
 it's hard,

00:44:16.500 --> 00:44:16.779
 when you're

00:44:16.779 --> 00:44:17.579
 running with

00:44:17.579 --> 00:44:18.099
 the tank on

00:44:18.099 --> 00:44:18.500
 empty,

00:44:18.779 --> 00:44:19.480
 it's hard to

00:44:19.480 --> 00:44:20.559
 love your

00:44:20.559 --> 00:44:21.679
 family to

00:44:21.679 --> 00:44:22.179
 the end.

00:44:23.039 --> 00:44:23.519
 Ask for

00:44:23.519 --> 00:44:24.159
 more of

00:44:24.159 --> 00:44:24.859
 God's love

00:44:24.859 --> 00:44:26.259
 to sustain

00:44:26.260 --> 00:44:27.420
 you to

00:44:27.420 --> 00:44:28.460
 show God's

00:44:28.460 --> 00:44:29.140
 love to

00:44:29.140 --> 00:44:29.680
 your family.

00:44:30.600 --> 00:44:31.180
 When it's

00:44:31.180 --> 00:44:31.560
 hard to

00:44:31.560 --> 00:44:32.380

00:44:33.800 --> 00:44:34.140
 the end,

00:44:34.540 --> 00:44:34.960
 ask for

00:44:34.960 --> 00:44:35.440
 more of

00:44:35.440 --> 00:44:36.020
 his love

00:44:36.020 --> 00:44:36.720
 so you

00:44:36.720 --> 00:44:37.180
 can love

00:44:37.180 --> 00:44:38.020
 your spouse

00:44:38.020 --> 00:44:38.340
 or your

00:44:38.340 --> 00:44:38.880
 loved one

00:44:40.300 --> 00:44:40.780
 the very

00:44:40.780 --> 00:44:41.460
 end.

00:44:42.340 --> 00:44:42.920
 If you

00:44:42.920 --> 00:44:43.440
 have kids

00:44:43.440 --> 00:44:43.840
 and it's

00:44:43.840 --> 00:44:44.340
 hard to

00:44:45.020 --> 00:44:45.400
 the moment,

00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:46.320
 ask for

00:44:46.320 --> 00:44:46.940
 more of

00:44:49.240 --> 00:44:49.920
 it's

00:44:49.920 --> 00:44:50.260
 Christ,

00:44:50.380 --> 00:44:50.500
 it's

00:44:50.500 --> 00:44:50.980
 not you,

00:44:51.300 --> 00:44:51.820
 onto your

00:44:51.820 --> 00:44:52.120

00:44:52.620 --> 00:44:53.000
 to the

00:44:53.000 --> 00:44:54.080
 very end.

00:44:54.079 --> 00:44:56.500
 If it's

00:44:56.500 --> 00:44:56.840
 hard for

00:44:56.840 --> 00:44:57.079

00:45:02.059 --> 00:45:02.539
 ask for

00:45:02.539 --> 00:45:02.940
 more of

00:45:02.940 --> 00:45:03.219
 God's

00:45:03.219 --> 00:45:03.599
 love to

00:45:03.599 --> 00:45:03.960
 fill you

00:45:03.960 --> 00:45:04.239
 that it

00:45:04.239 --> 00:45:04.980
 will overflow

00:45:04.980 --> 00:45:05.699
 onto one

00:45:05.699 --> 00:45:06.639
 another within

00:45:06.639 --> 00:45:07.159
 this church

00:45:07.159 --> 00:45:07.880
 family to

00:45:07.880 --> 00:45:08.679
 the very

00:45:08.679 --> 00:45:09.340
 end.

00:45:10.380 --> 00:45:10.980
 One more,

00:45:11.079 --> 00:45:11.199
 okay?

00:45:11.579 --> 00:45:12.039
 If it's

00:45:12.039 --> 00:45:12.360
 hard for

00:45:12.360 --> 00:45:12.579
 you to

00:45:12.579 --> 00:45:13.679
 love this

00:45:13.679 --> 00:45:14.119
 pastor,

00:45:15.039 --> 00:45:15.380
 church

00:45:15.380 --> 00:45:15.880
 officers,

00:45:16.739 --> 00:45:17.400
 or a

00:45:17.400 --> 00:45:17.619
 fellow

00:45:17.619 --> 00:45:18.259
 Christian who

00:45:18.259 --> 00:45:18.819
 has deeply

00:45:18.819 --> 00:45:19.759
 hurt you,

00:45:21.000 --> 00:45:21.539
 ask for

00:45:21.539 --> 00:45:21.960
 God's

00:45:21.960 --> 00:45:22.360
 love,

00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:22.400
 love,

00:45:23.340 --> 00:45:24.000
 that the

00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:24.340
 love of

00:45:24.340 --> 00:45:24.880
 Christ would

00:45:24.880 --> 00:45:25.340
 fill you

00:45:25.340 --> 00:45:26.059
 to serve

00:45:26.059 --> 00:45:27.160
 those he

00:45:27.160 --> 00:45:28.260
 loves until

00:45:28.260 --> 00:45:28.680
 the very

00:45:28.680 --> 00:45:28.940
 end.

00:45:29.019 --> 00:45:29.340
 We need

00:45:29.340 --> 00:45:29.559
 that.

00:45:31.280 --> 00:45:31.840
 Well, we

00:45:31.840 --> 00:45:32.220
 saw that

00:45:32.220 --> 00:45:32.760
 John learned

00:45:32.760 --> 00:45:33.180
 Christ's

00:45:33.180 --> 00:45:33.440
 lesson.

00:45:33.539 --> 00:45:33.940
 I want to

00:45:33.940 --> 00:45:35.120
 finish off

00:45:35.120 --> 00:45:35.579
 with Peter.

00:45:35.680 --> 00:45:36.160
 Did Peter

00:45:36.160 --> 00:45:37.019
 understand this

00:45:37.019 --> 00:45:37.340
 lesson

00:45:37.340 --> 00:45:37.760
 eventually?

00:45:38.519 --> 00:45:38.980
 Listen to

00:45:38.980 --> 00:45:39.539
 his words,

00:45:39.680 --> 00:45:40.240
 Peter's words

00:45:40.240 --> 00:45:40.840
 to the church

00:45:40.840 --> 00:45:41.480
 in 1 Peter

00:45:41.480 --> 00:45:42.120
 4.9.

00:45:43.440 --> 00:45:44.079
 He instructs

00:45:44.079 --> 00:45:44.599
 the church,

00:45:45.260 --> 00:45:46.140
 show hospitality

00:45:46.140 --> 00:45:47.079
 to one another

00:45:47.079 --> 00:45:48.340
 without grumbling.

00:45:49.579 --> 00:45:50.420
 So that means

00:45:50.420 --> 00:45:50.960
 it's hard

00:45:50.960 --> 00:45:52.340
 because the

00:45:52.340 --> 00:45:52.900
 tendency will

00:45:52.900 --> 00:45:53.199
 be to

00:45:53.199 --> 00:45:53.480
 grumble.

00:45:53.940 --> 00:45:54.400
 But if it's

00:45:54.400 --> 00:45:54.900
 Christ's love

00:45:54.900 --> 00:45:55.260
 in you,

00:45:55.400 --> 00:45:55.940
 not only will

00:45:55.940 --> 00:45:56.320
 you do it,

00:45:56.360 --> 00:45:56.840
 you'll do it

00:45:56.840 --> 00:45:57.699
 without grumbling.

00:45:58.740 --> 00:45:59.300
 Peter wrote,

00:45:59.440 --> 00:46:00.199
 as each has

00:46:00.199 --> 00:46:00.920
 received a

00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:01.199
 gift,

00:46:01.420 --> 00:46:02.240
 use it to

00:46:02.240 --> 00:46:03.240
 serve one

00:46:03.240 --> 00:46:04.579
 another as

00:46:04.579 --> 00:46:05.300
 good stewards

00:46:05.300 --> 00:46:06.059
 of God's

00:46:06.059 --> 00:46:07.099
 varied graces.

00:46:08.039 --> 00:46:08.460
 Now listen

00:46:08.460 --> 00:46:08.960
 to this,

00:46:09.579 --> 00:46:10.720
 serve as

00:46:10.720 --> 00:46:12.460
 one who

00:46:12.460 --> 00:46:13.220
 serves by

00:46:13.220 --> 00:46:14.019
 the strength

00:46:14.019 --> 00:46:15.199
 that God

00:46:15.199 --> 00:46:16.039
 supplies.

00:46:17.280 --> 00:46:17.519
 Do you

00:46:17.519 --> 00:46:17.940
 think Peter

00:46:17.940 --> 00:46:18.519
 understood the

00:46:18.519 --> 00:46:18.800
 lesson?

00:46:18.800 --> 00:46:20.740
 church,

00:46:21.000 --> 00:46:21.380
 serve one

00:46:21.380 --> 00:46:21.720
 another,

00:46:22.160 --> 00:46:22.940
 but serve

00:46:22.940 --> 00:46:23.539
 with the

00:46:23.539 --> 00:46:24.300
 strength that

00:46:24.300 --> 00:46:25.100
 God himself

00:46:25.100 --> 00:46:25.620
 supplies.

00:46:25.780 --> 00:46:26.000
 Why?

00:46:26.380 --> 00:46:27.000
 Peter writes,

00:46:27.360 --> 00:46:28.080
 in order that

00:46:28.080 --> 00:46:28.920
 in everything

00:46:28.920 --> 00:46:30.180
 God may be

00:46:30.180 --> 00:46:31.300
 glorified through

00:46:31.300 --> 00:46:32.680
 Jesus Christ.

00:46:34.580 --> 00:46:35.440
 It should be

00:46:35.440 --> 00:46:36.340
 obvious to you,

00:46:36.539 --> 00:46:37.019
 to me,

00:46:37.080 --> 00:46:37.440
 and to one

00:46:37.440 --> 00:46:37.700
 another,

00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:38.120
 and to the

00:46:38.120 --> 00:46:38.400
 world,

00:46:38.700 --> 00:46:39.300
 that this is

00:46:39.300 --> 00:46:40.000
 a special

00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:40.320
 people,

00:46:40.420 --> 00:46:40.840
 not because

00:46:40.840 --> 00:46:41.140
 they are

00:46:41.140 --> 00:46:41.539
 special,

00:46:41.820 --> 00:46:42.320
 but because

00:46:42.320 --> 00:46:43.100
 it's God's

00:46:43.100 --> 00:46:43.519
 strength

00:46:43.519 --> 00:46:44.300
 overflowing

00:46:44.300 --> 00:46:44.720
 in them.

00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:45.460
 The way

00:46:45.460 --> 00:46:45.940
 they're showing

00:46:45.940 --> 00:46:46.320
 the love

00:46:46.320 --> 00:46:46.740
 of Christ

00:46:46.740 --> 00:46:47.740
 is otherworldly,

00:46:47.739 --> 00:46:48.500
 there's no

00:46:48.500 --> 00:46:49.419
 explanation for

00:46:49.419 --> 00:46:49.639
 it,

00:46:50.139 --> 00:46:50.619
 and that

00:46:50.619 --> 00:46:51.379
 way God

00:46:51.379 --> 00:46:52.639
 is glorified.

00:46:53.019 --> 00:46:53.399
 God gets

00:46:53.399 --> 00:46:53.939
 all the glory,

00:46:54.039 --> 00:46:54.539
 never man,

00:46:54.899 --> 00:46:55.459
 through Jesus

00:46:55.459 --> 00:46:55.939
 Christ,

00:46:56.299 --> 00:46:56.739
 to whom

00:46:56.739 --> 00:46:58.339
 belong all

00:46:58.339 --> 00:46:59.439
 glory and

00:46:59.439 --> 00:46:59.959
 dominion

00:46:59.959 --> 00:47:01.500
 forever and

00:47:01.500 --> 00:47:01.719
 ever.

00:47:03.979 --> 00:47:04.859
 You and I,

00:47:05.039 --> 00:47:05.419
 we need

00:47:05.419 --> 00:47:06.839
 the love of

00:47:06.839 --> 00:47:07.279
 the heavenly

00:47:07.279 --> 00:47:07.719
 servant.

00:47:09.599 --> 00:47:10.339
 If you're

00:47:10.339 --> 00:47:10.719
 clean,

00:47:11.099 --> 00:47:11.459
 if you've

00:47:11.459 --> 00:47:11.939
 been cleaned

00:47:11.939 --> 00:47:12.399
 and washed

00:47:12.399 --> 00:47:12.939
 by Jesus,

00:47:13.099 --> 00:47:13.719
 then walk,

00:47:14.479 --> 00:47:15.319
 walk with

00:47:15.319 --> 00:47:15.979
 him in his

00:47:15.979 --> 00:47:16.319
 light,

00:47:16.320 --> 00:47:17.980
 and serve

00:47:17.980 --> 00:47:18.880
 with the

00:47:18.880 --> 00:47:19.300
 love of

00:47:19.300 --> 00:47:20.260
 Christ himself

00:47:20.260 --> 00:47:21.100
 overflowing

00:47:21.100 --> 00:47:21.860
 in all that

00:47:21.860 --> 00:47:22.200
 you do.

00:47:23.559 --> 00:47:24.080
 Let's

00:47:24.080 --> 00:47:24.280
 pray.

00:47:27.019 --> 00:47:27.539
 From

00:47:27.539 --> 00:47:28.140
 Ephesians

00:47:28.140 --> 00:47:28.920
 chapter 1.

00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:31.800
 Blessed be

00:47:31.800 --> 00:47:32.280
 the God

00:47:32.280 --> 00:47:32.780
 and Father

00:47:32.780 --> 00:47:33.160
 of our

00:47:33.160 --> 00:47:33.620
 Lord Jesus

00:47:33.620 --> 00:47:34.160
 Christ,

00:47:34.460 --> 00:47:35.019
 who has

00:47:35.019 --> 00:47:35.680
 blessed us

00:47:35.680 --> 00:47:36.519
 in Christ

00:47:36.519 --> 00:47:37.860
 with every

00:47:37.860 --> 00:47:38.760
 spiritual blessing

00:47:38.760 --> 00:47:39.380
 in the heavenly

00:47:39.380 --> 00:47:39.900
 places,

00:47:40.260 --> 00:47:40.960
 even as he

00:47:40.960 --> 00:47:41.760
 chose us in

00:47:41.760 --> 00:47:42.720
 him before

00:47:42.720 --> 00:47:43.400
 the foundation

00:47:43.400 --> 00:47:44.059
 of the world,

00:47:44.300 --> 00:47:44.820
 that we

00:47:44.820 --> 00:47:45.360
 should be

00:47:45.360 --> 00:47:46.039
 holy and

00:47:46.039 --> 00:47:46.539
 blameless

00:47:46.539 --> 00:47:47.500
 before him.

00:47:48.679 --> 00:47:50.139
 In love,

00:47:50.960 --> 00:47:51.759
 he predestined

00:47:51.759 --> 00:47:52.159
 us for

00:47:52.159 --> 00:47:52.860
 adoption to

00:47:52.860 --> 00:47:53.719
 himself as

00:47:53.719 --> 00:47:54.320
 sons through

00:47:54.320 --> 00:47:55.139
 Jesus Christ,

00:47:55.659 --> 00:47:56.199
 according to

00:47:56.199 --> 00:47:56.679
 the purpose

00:47:56.679 --> 00:47:57.340
 of his

00:47:57.340 --> 00:47:57.699
 will,

00:47:57.900 --> 00:47:58.759
 to the praise

00:47:58.759 --> 00:47:59.159
 of his

00:47:59.159 --> 00:48:00.259
 glorious grace,

00:48:00.860 --> 00:48:01.659
 with which he

00:48:01.659 --> 00:48:02.619
 has blessed us

00:48:02.619 --> 00:48:03.300
 in the beloved.

00:48:03.779 --> 00:48:04.539
 In him we

00:48:04.539 --> 00:48:05.300
 have redemption

00:48:05.300 --> 00:48:06.519
 through his

00:48:06.519 --> 00:48:06.980
 blood,

00:48:07.759 --> 00:48:08.420
 the forgiveness

00:48:08.420 --> 00:48:08.880
 of our

00:48:08.880 --> 00:48:09.539
 trespasses,

00:48:10.059 --> 00:48:10.659
 according to

00:48:10.659 --> 00:48:11.159
 the riches

00:48:11.159 --> 00:48:12.179
 of his

00:48:12.179 --> 00:48:12.659
 grace.

00:48:12.659 --> 00:48:12.739
 grace.

00:48:13.779 --> 00:48:14.460
 So we

00:48:14.460 --> 00:48:14.759
 ask,

00:48:14.920 --> 00:48:15.099
 Lord,

00:48:15.259 --> 00:48:15.679
 for your

00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:16.079
 glory.

00:48:16.559 --> 00:48:17.359
 In love,

00:48:18.460 --> 00:48:18.960
 clean us

00:48:18.960 --> 00:48:19.299
 again.

00:48:20.920 --> 00:48:21.899
 In love,
