WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.120
 Father, we all are very good at seeing the blindfolds that other people wear,

00:00:08.040 --> 00:00:15.000
 and we are blindfolded to the blindfolds that we wear and that we clutch to our eyes.

00:00:16.100 --> 00:00:23.879
 Father, we ask that your Holy Spirit would do a gentle but wonderful and deep work in our lives today as we read your word.

00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:29.160
 We ask, Father, that you do not help us to see the blindfolds that others wear,

00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:34.480
 but that you help us to see the blindfolds that we keep putting on or that we hold on.

00:00:35.420 --> 00:00:39.659
 We ask, Father, that you would do this work, that we would see our blindfolds.

00:00:40.340 --> 00:00:45.179
 Father, all this we ask in the name of Jesus, your Son and our Savior. Amen.

00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:46.859
 Please be seated.

00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:56.799
 Just recently in the same week, I had two remarkable conversations in different coffee shops.

00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:59.699
 I won't keep advertising the coffee shops that they both were.

00:01:00.259 --> 00:01:02.659
 Those of you who are regulars know what they probably were.

00:01:03.219 --> 00:01:05.319
 The first one happened just a few weeks ago.

00:01:05.459 --> 00:01:11.280
 I was talking to a young man, and the conversation, I've had lots of conversations with him,

00:01:11.299 --> 00:01:14.140
 and the conversation took a very sudden and surprising turn.

00:01:14.739 --> 00:01:15.719
 He said to me,

00:01:16.340 --> 00:01:19.239
 George, you know, I've been puzzled about this.

00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:27.879
 I have been raised by very, very secular parents who wanted nothing to do with religion or spirituality.

00:01:29.459 --> 00:01:34.659
 As I was growing up as a child and as a teenager and as a young adult when I still lived in my house,

00:01:34.759 --> 00:01:40.159
 my parents once never took me to a church or a mosque or a synagogue or a temple.

00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:40.899
 Never once.

00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:47.159
 I've had a completely and utterly secular education where I wasn't taught anything about God at school,

00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:48.319
 but I was taught ethics.

00:01:49.379 --> 00:01:51.840
 Yet as far back as I can remember, I have prayed.

00:01:53.420 --> 00:01:56.200
 And I pray virtually every day right now.

00:01:56.979 --> 00:01:59.099
 And I don't really understand why.

00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:02.719
 Isn't that a remarkable conversation?

00:02:03.340 --> 00:02:06.500
 I mean, just brothers and sisters, those of you who are here are Christians,

00:02:06.620 --> 00:02:10.060
 one of the great mistakes that we make when we talk to our non-Christian friends

00:02:10.060 --> 00:02:11.719
 is to presume that they never pray.

00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:16.379
 In fact, it might very well be that one of the things that will shock us

00:02:16.379 --> 00:02:19.719
 is that many Christians live prayerless lives.

00:02:20.620 --> 00:02:23.539
 And we might discover, if we actually had an honest conversation,

00:02:23.740 --> 00:02:26.219
 that our non-Christian friends pray more than we do.

00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:29.180
 And so,

00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.740
 the text that we're going to look at in a moment

00:02:32.740 --> 00:02:36.120
 actually talks a little bit about how I tried to answer the question.

00:02:36.259 --> 00:02:38.039
 It's a very important text, actually,

00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:40.199
 to help us to understand this phenomenon

00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:44.120
 as to why it would be that somebody in a completely secular environment

00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:46.199
 in a very, very secular culture

00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:47.219
 would pray every day

00:02:47.219 --> 00:02:50.780
 and have a basic belief that there must be a God that does exist.

00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.719
 This particular person also actually lives without hope,

00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:57.280
 which is a very, very interesting mixture of things.

00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:01.139
 Shortly after this conversation,

00:03:01.219 --> 00:03:02.079
 in the same week,

00:03:03.079 --> 00:03:05.319
 I had a conversation with a young woman

00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:06.759
 that went in a very different way.

00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:09.819
 Those of you who've taken the bulletins,

00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:11.560
 every week in the bulletin I have a blog.

00:03:12.399 --> 00:03:15.299
 It's in the bulletin and then it's online on Monday.

00:03:16.099 --> 00:03:17.219
 And the opening quote,

00:03:17.299 --> 00:03:18.439
 I mean, it might look a bit shocking.

00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.319
 I realize I should have put a question mark after it afterwards.

00:03:22.060 --> 00:03:25.319
 But this is pretty almost exactly word for word

00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:26.879
 an assertion that came to me

00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:28.699
 in a different conversation later in the week

00:03:28.699 --> 00:03:29.639
 with a different person.

00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:31.680
 And she said this repeatedly.

00:03:32.299 --> 00:03:33.719
 And this is what she said to me.

00:03:34.359 --> 00:03:36.359
 Christianity believes it is exceptional.

00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.259
 But every religion believes it is exceptional.

00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:42.199
 There have been at least 10,000 religions

00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:44.379
 and 100,000 gods.

00:03:45.079 --> 00:03:47.659
 There were religions that existed before Christianity

00:03:47.659 --> 00:03:49.060
 that do not exist today.

00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:51.099
 In 4,000 years' time,

00:03:51.239 --> 00:03:52.679
 Christianity will not exist.

00:03:52.819 --> 00:03:54.419
 And there will be other religions.

00:03:54.419 --> 00:03:57.559
 These are just facts that you have to accept.

00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:00.299
 And you can look at the blog.

00:04:01.859 --> 00:04:04.639
 The scripture text touches on this as well, by the way,

00:04:04.699 --> 00:04:05.239
 just slightly.

00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:08.219
 You can look at the blog yourself later on at your leisure

00:04:08.219 --> 00:04:10.259
 where if my sermon gets very boring,

00:04:10.799 --> 00:04:12.239
 you can look at it yourself

00:04:12.239 --> 00:04:14.679
 and see how I sort of responded to that.

00:04:15.539 --> 00:04:17.939
 But two very, very different conversations.

00:04:17.939 --> 00:04:19.399
 The second one would be a person

00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:21.560
 who clearly identifies themselves as an atheist.

00:04:21.860 --> 00:04:22.839
 The first one is,

00:04:23.060 --> 00:04:25.680
 I don't know how he would identify himself.

00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:28.699
 The scripture text addresses both of these issues,

00:04:28.980 --> 00:04:30.259
 but the first one in particular.

00:04:30.420 --> 00:04:31.420
 So it would be a great help to me

00:04:31.420 --> 00:04:32.600
 if you open your Bibles

00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:35.060
 and turn to the text that Anya read

00:04:35.060 --> 00:04:36.100
 just a few moments ago,

00:04:36.220 --> 00:04:38.560
 2 Corinthians 3, verse 7.

00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:42.759
 2 Corinthians 3, verse 7.

00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:45.420
 And actually, I'm just going to read

00:04:45.420 --> 00:04:49.740
 the very last sentence of verse 6

00:04:49.740 --> 00:04:53.800
 because it's sort of, it's part of the argument.

00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:54.539
 Actually, one of the things,

00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:56.079
 another bit of a time out here.

00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:59.060
 For those of you who call this your church home,

00:04:59.120 --> 00:04:59.819
 one of the things you can,

00:04:59.899 --> 00:05:02.019
 I really, really, really, really,

00:05:02.019 --> 00:05:04.159
 desperately need your prayers every week.

00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:07.659
 One of the hard parts about trying to preach

00:05:07.659 --> 00:05:09.980
 through 2 Corinthians, the first seven chapters,

00:05:09.980 --> 00:05:12.900
 is it's a very, very subtle

00:05:12.900 --> 00:05:15.319
 but sustained argument

00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:17.020
 where things keep looping back.

00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:18.720
 And it's hard to know.

00:05:18.819 --> 00:05:20.360
 A lot of what it's talked about here

00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:22.600
 is talked about in chapter 4 and 5 and 6.

00:05:22.700 --> 00:05:25.000
 It's just really hard to somehow figure out

00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:25.640
 how to preach it.

00:05:25.700 --> 00:05:27.759
 I really, really value your prayers

00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:29.759
 that as I'm listening to the Bible,

00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:32.900
 I know how to sort of bring you into the argument

00:05:32.900 --> 00:05:35.300
 without having to listen to all of the seven chapters.

00:05:35.400 --> 00:05:36.420
 So please pray for me.

00:05:37.100 --> 00:05:38.340
 Anyway, if we just, we're going to look at,

00:05:38.339 --> 00:05:40.399
 so remember, so this young man,

00:05:40.500 --> 00:05:42.959
 and why is it that I've prayed,

00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:45.099
 and I still pray, I've prayed today,

00:05:45.419 --> 00:05:48.539
 and I never had any religious background or upbringing.

00:05:49.259 --> 00:05:51.859
 So we'll begin at just the last sentence of verse 6.

00:05:52.799 --> 00:05:53.959
 For the letter kills,

00:05:54.799 --> 00:05:56.559
 but the Spirit gives life.

00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:58.199
 And then it goes on.

00:05:58.859 --> 00:06:00.259
 Now if the ministry of death,

00:06:00.919 --> 00:06:02.719
 carved in letters on stone,

00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:04.839
 came with such glory

00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:07.819
 that the Israelites could not gaze at Moses' face

00:06:07.819 --> 00:06:08.899
 because of its glory,

00:06:09.459 --> 00:06:11.119
 which was being brought to an end.

00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:13.560
 Will not the ministry of the Spirit

00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:15.079
 have even more glory?

00:06:16.039 --> 00:06:17.379
 For if there was glory

00:06:17.379 --> 00:06:19.120
 in the ministry of condemnation,

00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:21.259
 the ministry of righteousness

00:06:21.259 --> 00:06:23.459
 must far exceed it in glory.

00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:25.539
 Indeed, in this case,

00:06:26.179 --> 00:06:27.339
 what once had glory

00:06:27.339 --> 00:06:29.679
 has come to have no glory at all

00:06:29.679 --> 00:06:32.259
 because of the glory that surpasses it.

00:06:32.259 --> 00:06:35.300
 For if what was being brought to an end

00:06:35.300 --> 00:06:36.639
 came with glory,

00:06:37.259 --> 00:06:38.980
 much more will what is permanent

00:06:38.980 --> 00:06:40.240
 have glory.

00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:42.279
 It's a big chunk of scripture.

00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:43.860
 It's, you know, said 7 to 11,

00:06:43.980 --> 00:06:45.139
 so that's five verses.

00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:47.599
 But here's the big idea

00:06:47.599 --> 00:06:49.360
 with this text.

00:06:49.599 --> 00:06:51.180
 It's Paul using

00:06:51.180 --> 00:06:53.439
 a different set of images

00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:54.480
 to try to communicate

00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:56.459
 a very fundamental Christian truth.

00:06:56.579 --> 00:06:58.639
 It's in virtually all of his letters.

00:06:58.819 --> 00:07:00.500
 It's what Jesus was trying to communicate.

00:07:00.500 --> 00:07:02.399
 It's a constant New Testament lesson.

00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:05.279
 It's a lesson that goes right back

00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:06.740
 to what we call the Old Testament

00:07:06.740 --> 00:07:08.800
 and our Jewish friends call the Tanakh.

00:07:09.540 --> 00:07:10.480
 And it's this.

00:07:11.300 --> 00:07:12.199
 And I'm sorry I don't have

00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:14.279
 this point up on a slide,

00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:15.860
 but this is it.

00:07:16.579 --> 00:07:18.439
 If all I have are rules

00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:20.259
 and rituals to follow,

00:07:20.699 --> 00:07:21.920
 I will die a failure.

00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:25.340
 If all I have are rules

00:07:25.340 --> 00:07:27.020
 and rituals to follow,

00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:30.060
 I will die a failure.

00:07:30.660 --> 00:07:31.900
 If all I have are rules

00:07:31.900 --> 00:07:32.900
 and rituals to follow,

00:07:33.180 --> 00:07:34.520
 I will die a failure.

00:07:35.960 --> 00:07:37.000
 One of the points

00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:38.200
 I was going to try to make,

00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:39.700
 and you can see it in my blog,

00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:42.060
 to the woman who said

00:07:42.060 --> 00:07:43.420
 that there's 10,000 religions,

00:07:43.540 --> 00:07:44.620
 100,000 gods,

00:07:45.500 --> 00:07:47.759
 is I tried to communicate

00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:49.400
 that it might be

00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:50.839
 that they're not all the same.

00:07:51.979 --> 00:07:53.060
 And I would suggest

00:07:53.060 --> 00:07:55.859
 that there are several

00:07:55.859 --> 00:07:57.439
 very, very distinctive things

00:07:57.439 --> 00:07:58.459
 about the Christian way

00:07:58.459 --> 00:07:59.739
 and about what Jesus taught.

00:08:00.620 --> 00:08:01.639
 That in a sense,

00:08:01.739 --> 00:08:02.759
 if there are 10,000,

00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:04.839
 I don't know if there have been 10,000,

00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:09.639
 but 9,999 share one common feature.

00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:12.099
 And that common feature

00:08:12.099 --> 00:08:14.180
 is that whether it's come

00:08:14.180 --> 00:08:15.379
 from a seer,

00:08:15.579 --> 00:08:16.699
 from a prophetic vision,

00:08:16.939 --> 00:08:17.659
 whether they believe

00:08:17.659 --> 00:08:18.399
 it's come directly

00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:19.879
 from the mind or mouth of God

00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:20.620
 or word of God,

00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:22.000
 they all teach

00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:22.800
 that there's rules

00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:24.039
 and rituals to follow.

00:08:24.899 --> 00:08:26.159
 And if you're successful

00:08:26.159 --> 00:08:27.620
 at following the rules

00:08:27.620 --> 00:08:28.459
 and the rituals,

00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:30.860
 you will be accepted by God.

00:08:31.620 --> 00:08:32.080
 Now, granted,

00:08:32.199 --> 00:08:33.379
 the 9,999,

00:08:33.779 --> 00:08:34.419
 they all disagree

00:08:34.419 --> 00:08:35.519
 on lots of things.

00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:37.220
 You know,

00:08:37.220 --> 00:08:38.940
 the rules and the rituals

00:08:38.940 --> 00:08:39.920
 that you have to follow

00:08:39.920 --> 00:08:41.160
 if you follow Muhammad

00:08:41.160 --> 00:08:42.860
 are going to be very different

00:08:42.860 --> 00:08:43.420
 than the rules

00:08:43.420 --> 00:08:43.980
 and the rituals

00:08:43.980 --> 00:08:44.879
 you have to follow

00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:46.279
 if you're listening to Buddha

00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:47.220
 or to Krishna.

00:08:47.940 --> 00:08:49.360
 And the consequence

00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:51.120
 for failing to follow

00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:52.180
 the rules and the rituals

00:08:52.180 --> 00:08:53.300
 are going to be very different

00:08:53.300 --> 00:08:54.460
 if you're following Muhammad

00:08:54.460 --> 00:08:55.700
 than if you're following Buddha

00:08:55.700 --> 00:08:56.980
 or Krishna.

00:08:57.100 --> 00:08:57.840
 With Buddha and Krishna,

00:08:57.960 --> 00:08:58.980
 you get another kick

00:08:58.980 --> 00:09:00.120
 at the can, so to speak.

00:09:00.160 --> 00:09:00.740
 You come back

00:09:00.740 --> 00:09:01.660
 and you keep doing it.

00:09:02.040 --> 00:09:02.899
 But it's all

00:09:02.899 --> 00:09:05.259
 a very, very common teaching

00:09:05.259 --> 00:09:07.000
 that there are rules,

00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:07.980
 there are rituals.

00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:10.059
 Some of it might involve

00:09:10.059 --> 00:09:10.940
 going to a temple

00:09:10.940 --> 00:09:12.620
 in Paul's time in Corinth.

00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:14.000
 You know,

00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:15.259
 the men would have said,

00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:16.240
 so long, dear,

00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:17.139
 I'm going to the temple

00:09:17.139 --> 00:09:17.539
 to worship

00:09:17.539 --> 00:09:18.179
 and it would have meant

00:09:18.179 --> 00:09:18.700
 that they were going

00:09:18.700 --> 00:09:19.259
 to have sex

00:09:19.259 --> 00:09:20.419
 with a temple prostitute.

00:09:21.659 --> 00:09:22.059
 You know,

00:09:22.100 --> 00:09:23.019
 now it might be yoga.

00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:24.000
 In other places,

00:09:24.179 --> 00:09:25.639
 it might be killing an animal

00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:26.399
 or a sacrifice.

00:09:26.659 --> 00:09:27.399
 It might be learning

00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:27.980
 how to say

00:09:27.980 --> 00:09:29.940
 a certain type of prayer

00:09:29.940 --> 00:09:31.259
 or following a practice.

00:09:31.899 --> 00:09:32.879
 But it's a very,

00:09:32.980 --> 00:09:33.679
 very common thing

00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:34.339
 I would suggest

00:09:34.339 --> 00:09:37.699
 for all 9,999 religions

00:09:37.699 --> 00:09:39.019
 and spiritualities

00:09:39.019 --> 00:09:40.139
 and systems of thought

00:09:40.139 --> 00:09:40.859
 that there are rules

00:09:40.859 --> 00:09:41.519
 and there are rituals.

00:09:41.699 --> 00:09:42.279
 You follow them

00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:43.259
 and God accepts you.

00:09:44.319 --> 00:09:45.939
 And the message of Jesus

00:09:45.939 --> 00:09:47.659
 and the New Testament message

00:09:47.659 --> 00:09:49.179
 is the message of Jesus

00:09:49.179 --> 00:09:53.039
 is that no human being

00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:54.439
 will ever follow

00:09:54.439 --> 00:09:55.659
 the rules and the rituals

00:09:55.659 --> 00:09:56.359
 sufficiently.

00:09:57.019 --> 00:09:58.240
 And if your hope

00:09:58.240 --> 00:09:59.339
 is following the rules

00:09:59.339 --> 00:09:59.939
 and the rituals,

00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:00.559
 you will die.

00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:02.059
 In fact,

00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:03.159
 if you go back

00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:04.039
 and you read Romans,

00:10:04.259 --> 00:10:05.079
 the book of Romans,

00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:06.019
 and just,

00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:08.479
 most scholars think

00:10:08.479 --> 00:10:09.000
 that the letter

00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:09.679
 that Paul wrote

00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:10.419
 after this

00:10:10.419 --> 00:10:11.399
 was the book of Romans.

00:10:12.199 --> 00:10:13.079
 And if you go back

00:10:13.079 --> 00:10:13.639
 and you read

00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:14.839
 chapter 2 of Romans,

00:10:14.979 --> 00:10:15.559
 one of the things

00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:16.179
 that Paul does

00:10:16.179 --> 00:10:16.799
 in an argument

00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:18.519
 is to say in a sense

00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:19.559
 that God is completely

00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:20.339
 and utterly fair.

00:10:20.439 --> 00:10:21.579
 Even if you don't believe

00:10:21.579 --> 00:10:23.119
 or know in his rules

00:10:23.119 --> 00:10:24.639
 and rituals

00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:25.319
 that he's revealed

00:10:25.319 --> 00:10:26.079
 in the Tanakh,

00:10:26.479 --> 00:10:27.479
 if you make your own,

00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:28.559
 just pick your own rules

00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:29.279
 and rituals.

00:10:29.459 --> 00:10:29.899
 You can pick

00:10:29.899 --> 00:10:30.500
 whatever rules

00:10:30.500 --> 00:10:31.399
 or rituals you want

00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:32.159
 and then just measure

00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:33.179
 your life by your own rules

00:10:33.179 --> 00:10:33.579
 or rituals.

00:10:33.699 --> 00:10:34.600
 You won't even keep them.

00:10:34.860 --> 00:10:36.100
 Very, very common thing

00:10:36.100 --> 00:10:36.600
 in movies.

00:10:37.500 --> 00:10:37.860
 You know,

00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:38.699
 I have these rules

00:10:38.699 --> 00:10:39.819
 and I'm going to break them

00:10:39.819 --> 00:10:40.600
 or they break them

00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:41.559
 and things happen.

00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:42.939
 And so,

00:10:43.079 --> 00:10:44.519
 what Paul is saying here

00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:46.720
 in verses 7 to 11

00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:48.699
 is that if all I have

00:10:48.699 --> 00:10:49.600
 are rules and rituals

00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:50.139
 to follow,

00:10:50.259 --> 00:10:51.480
 I will die a failure.

00:10:51.959 --> 00:10:53.720
 In this particular context,

00:10:53.860 --> 00:10:54.379
 he's saying,

00:10:54.659 --> 00:10:56.059
 he's referring to a story

00:10:56.059 --> 00:10:57.179
 that goes in Exodus

00:10:57.179 --> 00:10:58.220
 chapter 32,

00:10:58.399 --> 00:10:58.799
 33,

00:10:58.919 --> 00:10:59.659
 and 34.

00:10:59.899 --> 00:11:01.600
 where God

00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:03.579
 appears to Moses.

00:11:03.819 --> 00:11:04.559
 Moses goes up

00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:04.919
 in a mountain.

00:11:05.059 --> 00:11:05.679
 God appears

00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:06.779
 to Moses.

00:11:06.899 --> 00:11:07.159
 Of course,

00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:08.860
 Moses can't see him directly,

00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:10.819
 but Moses is in God's presence

00:11:10.819 --> 00:11:12.079
 and God himself

00:11:12.079 --> 00:11:13.840
 writes on tablets of stone

00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:15.279
 what we now know of

00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:16.399
 as the Ten Commandments,

00:11:16.500 --> 00:11:17.620
 the Ten Instructions,

00:11:18.019 --> 00:11:19.079
 the Ten Words

00:11:19.079 --> 00:11:21.179
 that are to be the basis

00:11:21.179 --> 00:11:22.079
 about how you live.

00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:23.319
 And when Moses comes down

00:11:23.319 --> 00:11:23.899
 from the mountain,

00:11:23.899 --> 00:11:24.600
 because he's been

00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:25.759
 in the presence of God,

00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:28.799
 his face is bright,

00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:30.139
 like the brightest spotlight,

00:11:31.139 --> 00:11:33.100
 and the people of Israel

00:11:33.100 --> 00:11:34.879
 can't bear to look at it,

00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:35.340
 so they,

00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:36.240
 his face,

00:11:36.340 --> 00:11:37.879
 so he puts a cover on it

00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:39.200
 so it doesn't frighten them.

00:11:39.700 --> 00:11:40.759
 And that's the background.

00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:43.279
 But if you understand

00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:44.679
 that it's,

00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:46.059
 that if you follow,

00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:47.120
 if you believe that

00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:48.659
 following rules and rituals

00:11:48.659 --> 00:11:50.240
 will make you right with God,

00:11:50.779 --> 00:11:52.980
 if that's what your religion is,

00:11:53.379 --> 00:11:54.639
 you should know

00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:56.000
 that you will die of failure.

00:11:56.539 --> 00:11:58.100
 If you keep that perspective,

00:11:58.220 --> 00:11:59.620
 listen again to verses 7,

00:11:59.879 --> 00:12:02.000
 verses 7 to 11.

00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:04.580
 Now if the ministry of death

00:12:04.580 --> 00:12:07.019
 carved in letters on stone,

00:12:07.500 --> 00:12:08.440
 see that's what it is.

00:12:09.220 --> 00:12:10.059
 They're words

00:12:10.059 --> 00:12:11.500
 carved in letters of stone,

00:12:11.620 --> 00:12:12.159
 but it ends up

00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:13.120
 just bringing you death

00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:14.240
 because you can't keep them.

00:12:14.299 --> 00:12:15.100
 I can't keep them.

00:12:15.139 --> 00:12:16.200
 I'm not just saying you.

00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:17.240
 Ha ha ha,

00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:18.120
 you can't keep them,

00:12:18.179 --> 00:12:18.440
 I do.

00:12:18.500 --> 00:12:18.919
 No, no, no.

00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:19.620
 I have three fingers

00:12:19.620 --> 00:12:20.259
 pointing back.

00:12:21.419 --> 00:12:22.240
 I'm more than you.

00:12:22.299 --> 00:12:22.919
 I'm probably worse

00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:23.679
 at keeping the rules

00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:24.679
 than many of you

00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:25.220
 who are here.

00:12:27.179 --> 00:12:28.480
 If the ministry of death,

00:12:28.539 --> 00:12:29.519
 that's what it ends up being

00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:30.399
 if you just have rules

00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:30.860
 and rituals,

00:12:30.860 --> 00:12:32.159
 carved in letters on stone,

00:12:32.259 --> 00:12:33.100
 came with such glory

00:12:33.100 --> 00:12:33.720
 that the Israelites

00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:35.500
 could not gaze at Moses' face

00:12:35.500 --> 00:12:36.419
 because of its glory,

00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:38.200
 which was being brought to an end.

00:12:38.680 --> 00:12:40.180
 Will not the ministry of the Spirit

00:12:40.180 --> 00:12:41.360
 have even more glory?

00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:42.759
 Listen again to this.

00:12:42.800 --> 00:12:43.700
 For if there was glory

00:12:43.700 --> 00:12:45.320
 in the ministry of condemnation,

00:12:45.419 --> 00:12:46.000
 because you see,

00:12:46.060 --> 00:12:48.419
 if in fact God reveals perfect rules

00:12:48.419 --> 00:12:51.220
 and we can't keep the rules,

00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:53.300
 then that actually is a word against us.

00:12:53.340 --> 00:12:55.480
 It's a type of condemnation of us.

00:12:56.500 --> 00:12:58.000
 The ministry of righteousness

00:12:58.000 --> 00:12:59.560
 must far exceed it in glory.

00:12:59.800 --> 00:13:00.680
 And just so you know,

00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:01.980
 every time you see

00:13:01.980 --> 00:13:02.919
 the word righteousness,

00:13:03.700 --> 00:13:04.419
 or most of the times

00:13:04.419 --> 00:13:06.000
 you see the word righteousness,

00:13:06.659 --> 00:13:07.800
 understand that it means

00:13:07.800 --> 00:13:09.000
 right standing,

00:13:09.259 --> 00:13:10.039
 making it right.

00:13:10.300 --> 00:13:11.779
 What makes you right with God?

00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:12.039
 Right?

00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:12.879
 The image is,

00:13:13.560 --> 00:13:14.840
 I don't know,

00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:16.300
 maybe you work in a Starbucks

00:13:16.300 --> 00:13:17.419
 or something like that

00:13:17.419 --> 00:13:21.159
 and a customer's complaining

00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:22.419
 and they're complaining

00:13:22.419 --> 00:13:23.639
 that the,

00:13:23.940 --> 00:13:24.200
 you know,

00:13:24.220 --> 00:13:24.519
 I don't know,

00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:25.860
 that the coffee's not right,

00:13:25.940 --> 00:13:26.580
 the bill's wrong,

00:13:26.680 --> 00:13:27.379
 et cetera, et cetera.

00:13:27.379 --> 00:13:28.300
 What is it that they do,

00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:28.879
 whether it's them

00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:29.360
 or the manager,

00:13:29.420 --> 00:13:30.300
 they come to make it right?

00:13:30.299 --> 00:13:30.379
 Right.

00:13:31.419 --> 00:13:32.599
 They come to make it right.

00:13:34.079 --> 00:13:35.919
 And they want to make it right

00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:37.339
 so that there's a sense

00:13:37.339 --> 00:13:38.259
 of satisfaction,

00:13:38.659 --> 00:13:39.259
 that there's a sense

00:13:39.259 --> 00:13:40.399
 of restoration of justice

00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:41.159
 and wholeness.

00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:42.579
 and it usually means

00:13:42.579 --> 00:13:43.319
 making it right

00:13:43.319 --> 00:13:45.799
 is that the restaurant pays.

00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:47.079
 They say,

00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:47.980
 here,

00:13:48.079 --> 00:13:48.799
 we'll give it exactly

00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:49.339
 the way you want,

00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:50.199
 we'll take it all back,

00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:50.439
 in fact,

00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:51.719
 we'll make it free for you.

00:13:51.860 --> 00:13:52.500
 We'll make it free

00:13:52.500 --> 00:13:52.839
 because why?

00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:54.100
 We want to make it right.

00:13:54.620 --> 00:13:55.219
 And that image

00:13:55.219 --> 00:13:56.419
 of making it right

00:13:56.419 --> 00:13:58.000
 is what the word righteousness

00:13:58.000 --> 00:13:58.740
 in English,

00:13:59.360 --> 00:13:59.699
 that's,

00:13:59.740 --> 00:14:00.879
 it's an English translation

00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:01.579
 of a Greek word,

00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:02.139
 that's what it's trying

00:14:02.139 --> 00:14:02.620
 to communicate,

00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:04.399
 that there's going to be

00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:05.319
 a ministry from God

00:14:05.319 --> 00:14:06.539
 that makes it right

00:14:06.539 --> 00:14:07.299
 with him.

00:14:08.179 --> 00:14:09.319
 Go back to verse 10.

00:14:09.659 --> 00:14:10.199
 In this case,

00:14:10.299 --> 00:14:12.059
 what once had glory

00:14:12.059 --> 00:14:12.959
 has come to have

00:14:12.959 --> 00:14:13.879
 no glory at all

00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:14.699
 because of the glory

00:14:14.699 --> 00:14:15.719
 that surpasses it.

00:14:16.179 --> 00:14:17.000
 For if what was being

00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:17.639
 brought to an end

00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:18.339
 came with glory,

00:14:18.419 --> 00:14:19.099
 much more will that

00:14:19.099 --> 00:14:19.699
 which is permanent

00:14:19.699 --> 00:14:20.139
 have glory.

00:14:20.199 --> 00:14:20.879
 I'll talk about that

00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:21.279
 in a moment.

00:14:22.079 --> 00:14:23.500
 But here we can see

00:14:23.500 --> 00:14:26.019
 that there's this basic idea

00:14:26.019 --> 00:14:27.779
 that if all I have

00:14:27.779 --> 00:14:28.539
 are rules and rituals

00:14:28.539 --> 00:14:29.000
 to follow,

00:14:29.059 --> 00:14:30.139
 I will die a failure

00:14:30.139 --> 00:14:32.099
 and we just cannot

00:14:32.099 --> 00:14:34.159
 literally keep the rules.

00:14:34.620 --> 00:14:34.939
 In fact,

00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:36.079
 in the same conversation

00:14:36.079 --> 00:14:36.959
 with the young man

00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:37.620
 who was telling me

00:14:37.620 --> 00:14:38.300
 about prayer,

00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:41.820
 I knew that he liked

00:14:41.820 --> 00:14:42.720
 watching movies.

00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:43.840
 So I said to him,

00:14:44.400 --> 00:14:44.980
 because I was trying

00:14:44.980 --> 00:14:46.420
 to explain how Christians

00:14:46.420 --> 00:14:47.660
 understand this issue,

00:14:47.740 --> 00:14:48.840
 why it is that Christians

00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:49.639
 would understand

00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:50.600
 or should understand

00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:52.360
 that people pray naturally.

00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:52.860
 And I said,

00:14:52.900 --> 00:14:53.800
 if you saw a movie,

00:14:54.500 --> 00:14:55.120
 science fiction

00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:56.139
 or a fantasy movie,

00:14:56.220 --> 00:14:57.220
 but if you saw a movie

00:14:57.220 --> 00:14:58.519
 and in the movie

00:14:58.519 --> 00:14:59.960
 you come to a place

00:14:59.960 --> 00:15:01.000
 where everything

00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:01.700
 is perfect,

00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:03.879
 the people are perfect,

00:15:04.300 --> 00:15:05.180
 they follow all

00:15:05.180 --> 00:15:05.700
 of the rules,

00:15:05.860 --> 00:15:06.860
 everything is perfect,

00:15:07.420 --> 00:15:08.259
 wouldn't you know

00:15:08.259 --> 00:15:09.120
 that as the movie

00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:09.680
 progresses

00:15:09.680 --> 00:15:10.620
 that there's evil

00:15:10.620 --> 00:15:11.379
 behind it,

00:15:12.160 --> 00:15:13.320
 that it's an illusion?

00:15:13.980 --> 00:15:14.519
 And he said,

00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:14.860
 yes.

00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:16.400
 That's always

00:15:16.400 --> 00:15:16.920
 what it means

00:15:16.920 --> 00:15:17.379
 in Hollywood

00:15:17.379 --> 00:15:17.900
 where you see

00:15:17.900 --> 00:15:18.680
 something perfect.

00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:20.420
 It always means

00:15:20.420 --> 00:15:21.019
 there's evil

00:15:21.019 --> 00:15:23.800
 and that there's control.

00:15:25.220 --> 00:15:25.720
 I said,

00:15:25.820 --> 00:15:26.080
 one of the,

00:15:26.139 --> 00:15:26.580
 and this would be

00:15:26.580 --> 00:15:27.040
 another thing

00:15:27.040 --> 00:15:28.480
 to the woman

00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:29.740
 about the 10,000 religions,

00:15:29.900 --> 00:15:30.639
 the second thing

00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:31.540
 which is very distinctive

00:15:31.540 --> 00:15:32.460
 in the Christian faith

00:15:32.460 --> 00:15:33.060
 is the doctrine

00:15:33.060 --> 00:15:33.600
 of the fall.

00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:35.960
 that the idea

00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:37.139
 that God created

00:15:37.139 --> 00:15:38.360
 all things good

00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:40.360
 and that the creator

00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:40.759
 who created

00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:41.620
 all things good

00:15:41.620 --> 00:15:42.519
 created human beings

00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:43.860
 in a very special place

00:15:43.860 --> 00:15:44.960
 to tend the garden,

00:15:45.680 --> 00:15:46.379
 to in a sense

00:15:46.379 --> 00:15:49.259
 be a sub-creator

00:15:49.259 --> 00:15:50.040
 under God

00:15:50.040 --> 00:15:50.720
 and to manage

00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:51.420
 God's creation,

00:15:51.500 --> 00:15:52.220
 almost like a type

00:15:52.220 --> 00:15:53.399
 of priest and priestess

00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:54.620
 where we care

00:15:54.620 --> 00:15:55.240
 for the earth

00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:56.540
 and we at the same time

00:15:56.540 --> 00:15:56.980
 in a sense

00:15:56.980 --> 00:15:57.740
 offer the earth

00:15:57.740 --> 00:15:58.460
 up to God

00:15:58.460 --> 00:16:00.120
 under his direction.

00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:02.220
 and human beings alone

00:16:02.220 --> 00:16:03.460
 out of all the created order

00:16:03.460 --> 00:16:04.799
 are made in the image

00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:05.620
 of God.

00:16:05.980 --> 00:16:06.899
 The Greek word

00:16:06.899 --> 00:16:07.700
 translating is

00:16:07.700 --> 00:16:08.320
 icon,

00:16:08.500 --> 00:16:09.899
 E-I-K-O-N

00:16:09.899 --> 00:16:11.899
 and human beings alone

00:16:11.899 --> 00:16:12.899
 are made in the icon

00:16:12.899 --> 00:16:13.740
 of God

00:16:13.740 --> 00:16:14.779
 and when human beings

00:16:14.779 --> 00:16:15.740
 in Genesis 3

00:16:15.740 --> 00:16:17.700
 decided that they did not

00:16:17.700 --> 00:16:19.019
 want to be sub-creators

00:16:19.019 --> 00:16:20.080
 but wanted to be equal

00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:20.519
 with God

00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:21.860
 or superior to God

00:16:21.860 --> 00:16:23.419
 what happened

00:16:23.419 --> 00:16:24.740
 is that something

00:16:24.740 --> 00:16:25.240
 within us

00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:26.159
 was bent

00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:29.299
 and twisted

00:16:29.299 --> 00:16:32.839
 and because

00:16:32.839 --> 00:16:33.839
 you can never

00:16:33.839 --> 00:16:34.519
 leave yourself

00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:35.459
 to fix yourself

00:16:35.459 --> 00:16:36.279
 that which is now

00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:37.279
 bent and twisted

00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:39.759
 can't be unbent

00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:40.419
 and untwisted

00:16:40.419 --> 00:16:41.219
 because it'd be

00:16:41.219 --> 00:16:42.439
 a bent and twisted

00:16:42.439 --> 00:16:43.419
 being

00:16:43.419 --> 00:16:44.799
 trying to unbend

00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:45.719
 and untwist

00:16:45.719 --> 00:16:46.719
 a twisted being

00:16:46.719 --> 00:16:47.839
 and we only bend

00:16:47.839 --> 00:16:48.819
 and twist it more

00:16:48.819 --> 00:16:51.379
 and so

00:16:51.379 --> 00:16:52.959
 when we rebelled

00:16:52.959 --> 00:16:53.579
 against God

00:16:53.579 --> 00:16:54.099
 because we wanted

00:16:54.099 --> 00:16:54.779
 to be like God

00:16:54.779 --> 00:16:55.279
 ourselves

00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:56.159
 it isn't that God

00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:56.859
 erased

00:16:56.859 --> 00:16:58.179
 the image

00:16:58.179 --> 00:16:58.799
 and likeness

00:16:58.799 --> 00:16:59.240
 in us

00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:00.639
 and removed it

00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:01.799
 it stays in us

00:17:01.799 --> 00:17:02.680
 but we're now bent

00:17:02.680 --> 00:17:03.620
 we're now twisted

00:17:03.620 --> 00:17:05.279
 and

00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:07.240
 and that's why

00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:07.779
 it is

00:17:07.779 --> 00:17:09.720
 that every day

00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:11.120
 if we woke up

00:17:11.120 --> 00:17:11.799
 on Monday

00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:12.680
 and the newspaper

00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:13.240
 said

00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:14.000
 there's been

00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:15.200
 no wars

00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:16.720
 no robberies

00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:18.039
 nothing bad

00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:19.339
 happened in the entire world

00:17:19.339 --> 00:17:20.079
 we know we wouldn't

00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:20.579
 believe it

00:17:20.579 --> 00:17:22.519
 nobody in the city

00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:23.120
 would believe it

00:17:23.120 --> 00:17:23.960
 even the hardened

00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:24.620
 atheist

00:17:24.620 --> 00:17:25.660
 even the most

00:17:25.660 --> 00:17:26.460
 unbelievably

00:17:26.460 --> 00:17:27.460
 optimistic

00:17:27.460 --> 00:17:28.819
 Rousseau

00:17:28.819 --> 00:17:29.500
 following

00:17:29.500 --> 00:17:30.000
 sorry

00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:30.500
 bit of an

00:17:30.500 --> 00:17:30.819
 academic

00:17:30.819 --> 00:17:31.420
 reference

00:17:31.420 --> 00:17:32.440
 person who

00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:32.740
 teaches

00:17:32.740 --> 00:17:33.480
 in the education

00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:34.039
 faculty

00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:34.579
 that somehow

00:17:34.579 --> 00:17:35.400
 often teaches

00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:36.220
 that human beings

00:17:36.220 --> 00:17:37.140
 are inherently good

00:17:37.140 --> 00:17:38.779
 nobody would believe it

00:17:38.779 --> 00:17:39.640
 right

00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:41.340
 nothing bad

00:17:41.340 --> 00:17:41.759
 happened

00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:42.880
 like nothing at all

00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:44.200
 and even if we thought

00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:44.900
 that nothing bad

00:17:44.900 --> 00:17:45.180
 happened

00:17:45.180 --> 00:17:45.759
 we'd know in our

00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:46.299
 thoughts

00:17:46.299 --> 00:17:47.500
 that bad things

00:17:47.500 --> 00:17:47.920
 were going on

00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:48.360
 in our thoughts

00:17:48.360 --> 00:17:48.700
 why

00:17:48.700 --> 00:17:50.220
 because human beings

00:17:50.220 --> 00:17:50.640
 are bent

00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:51.319
 they're twisted

00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:52.259
 we're made in the image

00:17:52.259 --> 00:17:52.759
 of God

00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:53.440
 we were made

00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:54.120
 in a sense

00:17:54.120 --> 00:17:54.860
 in the image

00:17:54.859 --> 00:17:55.419
 of a creator

00:17:55.419 --> 00:17:56.179
 but we are bent

00:17:56.179 --> 00:17:57.039
 and we are twisted

00:17:57.039 --> 00:17:58.159
 it's another thing

00:17:58.159 --> 00:17:58.839
 which is unique

00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:01.059
 to what Jesus taught

00:18:01.059 --> 00:18:02.439
 what the Bible teaches

00:18:02.439 --> 00:18:05.339
 so human beings

00:18:05.339 --> 00:18:06.539
 are made in God's image

00:18:06.539 --> 00:18:08.139
 and we're bent

00:18:08.139 --> 00:18:08.819
 and we're twisted

00:18:08.819 --> 00:18:10.479
 it explains two things

00:18:10.479 --> 00:18:12.419
 it explains why

00:18:12.419 --> 00:18:13.099
 when I say

00:18:13.099 --> 00:18:13.699
 and when Paul

00:18:13.699 --> 00:18:14.399
 is saying here

00:18:14.399 --> 00:18:15.079
 that if God

00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:16.199
 gives us perfect laws

00:18:16.199 --> 00:18:16.959
 we won't keep them

00:18:16.959 --> 00:18:17.539
 all it will do

00:18:17.539 --> 00:18:18.339
 is give us reason

00:18:18.339 --> 00:18:19.099
 to understand

00:18:19.099 --> 00:18:19.559
 that God

00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:20.939
 has a very valid reason

00:18:20.939 --> 00:18:22.079
 to not allow us

00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:22.740
 into his heaven

00:18:22.740 --> 00:18:24.240
 in the new heaven

00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:24.920
 and the new earth

00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:26.220
 at the same time

00:18:26.220 --> 00:18:26.839
 the fact that

00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:27.680
 every human being

00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:28.839
 is made in God's image

00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:29.299
 it talks

00:18:29.299 --> 00:18:30.240
 it explains

00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:31.279
 very powerfully

00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:32.319
 why it is

00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:35.140
 that there have been

00:18:35.140 --> 00:18:36.259
 10,000 religions

00:18:36.259 --> 00:18:39.059
 I mean

00:18:39.059 --> 00:18:39.680
 I didn't put it

00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:40.220
 in my blog

00:18:40.220 --> 00:18:40.980
 but one of the things

00:18:40.980 --> 00:18:41.579
 I would have said

00:18:41.579 --> 00:18:42.740
 to my Dawkins

00:18:42.740 --> 00:18:43.960
 loving friend

00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:46.039
 with the 10,000

00:18:46.039 --> 00:18:46.740
 religion quote

00:18:46.740 --> 00:18:47.420
 is you know

00:18:47.420 --> 00:18:48.359
 atheism

00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:49.480
 has to account

00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:50.079
 for why there's

00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:51.079
 10,000 religions

00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:53.299
 and you know

00:18:53.299 --> 00:18:53.500
 what

00:18:53.500 --> 00:18:54.699
 Freud's explanation

00:18:54.699 --> 00:18:55.379
 doesn't work

00:18:55.379 --> 00:18:56.559
 Freudbox explanation

00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:57.240
 doesn't work

00:18:57.240 --> 00:18:58.339
 Marx's explanation

00:18:58.339 --> 00:18:59.220
 doesn't work

00:18:59.220 --> 00:19:01.399
 you know

00:19:01.399 --> 00:19:02.220
 they don't work

00:19:02.220 --> 00:19:03.619
 and you have to

00:19:03.619 --> 00:19:04.439
 account for that

00:19:04.439 --> 00:19:05.619
 but you know

00:19:05.619 --> 00:19:06.539
 for us as Christians

00:19:06.539 --> 00:19:07.460
 if in fact

00:19:07.460 --> 00:19:08.359
 every human being

00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:09.399
 has been made

00:19:09.399 --> 00:19:10.399
 in the image

00:19:10.399 --> 00:19:11.579
 and the icon of God

00:19:11.579 --> 00:19:12.720
 and we have a creator

00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:14.980
 there is something

00:19:14.980 --> 00:19:16.619
 in every human being

00:19:16.619 --> 00:19:18.699
 because we're made

00:19:18.699 --> 00:19:19.759
 in the image of God

00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:20.879
 that cries out

00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:23.080
 and longs for

00:19:23.080 --> 00:19:24.460
 and desires

00:19:24.460 --> 00:19:27.480
 that creator

00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:28.460
 in whom

00:19:28.460 --> 00:19:29.340
 whose

00:19:29.340 --> 00:19:30.500
 in whose image

00:19:30.500 --> 00:19:31.360
 we have been made

00:19:31.360 --> 00:19:33.460
 and the fact

00:19:33.460 --> 00:19:34.180
 that we can never

00:19:34.180 --> 00:19:35.400
 stop being creatures

00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:36.420
 as much as we might

00:19:36.420 --> 00:19:37.500
 think that we're gods

00:19:37.500 --> 00:19:38.580
 and our technology

00:19:38.580 --> 00:19:39.440
 and our techniques

00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:40.620
 can make us like God

00:19:40.620 --> 00:19:41.380
 and our politics

00:19:41.380 --> 00:19:42.620
 can make us like God

00:19:42.620 --> 00:19:44.400
 if we just follow Marxism

00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:45.120
 if we just follow

00:19:45.120 --> 00:19:45.860
 some utopia

00:19:45.860 --> 00:19:47.060
 that we will be like gods

00:19:47.060 --> 00:19:47.800
 we will manage

00:19:47.800 --> 00:19:48.700
 the means of production

00:19:48.700 --> 00:19:49.400
 we will manage

00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:50.160
 the created order

00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:51.340
 we will be perfect

00:19:51.340 --> 00:19:51.860
 that

00:19:51.860 --> 00:19:55.340
 none of those things work

00:19:55.340 --> 00:19:56.980
 but the creation itself

00:19:56.980 --> 00:19:57.759
 we're creatures

00:19:57.759 --> 00:19:58.600
 in a created order

00:19:58.600 --> 00:20:00.360
 that regularly reminds us

00:20:00.360 --> 00:20:01.240
 that there's a creator

00:20:01.240 --> 00:20:02.500
 even if we suppress it

00:20:02.500 --> 00:20:03.820
 and there is something

00:20:03.820 --> 00:20:05.000
 in every human being

00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:05.940
 that longs

00:20:05.940 --> 00:20:07.040
 to once again

00:20:07.040 --> 00:20:07.900
 be aligned

00:20:07.900 --> 00:20:08.720
 with that

00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:09.440
 with whom

00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:10.380
 we are made

00:20:10.380 --> 00:20:11.720
 and whom we are made

00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:12.519
 in his image

00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:14.060
 the true

00:20:14.060 --> 00:20:14.940
 and living God

00:20:14.940 --> 00:20:15.500
 the creator

00:20:15.500 --> 00:20:16.300
 and sustainer

00:20:16.299 --> 00:20:17.579
 of all things

00:20:17.579 --> 00:20:24.700
 so the question is

00:20:24.700 --> 00:20:25.319
 okay George

00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:26.200
 whoa whoa whoa

00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:26.539
 okay

00:20:26.539 --> 00:20:28.059
 George

00:20:28.059 --> 00:20:28.980
 does that mean

00:20:28.980 --> 00:20:29.940
 if I'm just reading this

00:20:29.940 --> 00:20:30.339
 all right

00:20:30.339 --> 00:20:30.960
 does this mean

00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:32.139
 that God did something

00:20:32.139 --> 00:20:32.759
 on purpose

00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:33.779
 to condemn us

00:20:33.779 --> 00:20:35.539
 does this mean

00:20:35.539 --> 00:20:36.919
 that God did something

00:20:36.919 --> 00:20:37.859
 that failed

00:20:37.859 --> 00:20:40.019
 like

00:20:40.019 --> 00:20:42.039
 how does that fit

00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:42.599
 George

00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:44.659
 how would it fit

00:20:44.659 --> 00:20:45.259
 that this

00:20:45.259 --> 00:20:46.839
 if God does all these things

00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:48.000
 and it just condemns us

00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:48.479
 and it

00:20:48.479 --> 00:20:49.259
 like

00:20:49.259 --> 00:20:50.459
 like

00:20:50.459 --> 00:20:51.219
 in fact actually

00:20:51.219 --> 00:20:51.459
 this

00:20:51.459 --> 00:20:53.500
 I explained some of these things

00:20:53.500 --> 00:20:54.179
 to the

00:20:54.179 --> 00:20:55.319
 to the young man

00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:55.839
 who first

00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:57.000
 asked me this question

00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:57.479
 about prayer

00:20:57.479 --> 00:20:59.839
 and his response was

00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:01.000
 because

00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:02.399
 he acknowledged

00:21:02.399 --> 00:21:03.379
 that

00:21:03.380 --> 00:21:05.540
 if we saw a movie

00:21:05.540 --> 00:21:06.420
 with utopia

00:21:06.420 --> 00:21:07.320
 we'd know there was evil

00:21:07.320 --> 00:21:08.020
 behind it

00:21:08.020 --> 00:21:08.460
 and he'd say

00:21:08.460 --> 00:21:09.360
 there's no hope then

00:21:09.360 --> 00:21:11.600
 and given that in fact

00:21:11.600 --> 00:21:12.720
 he has always struggled

00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:13.320
 with the fact

00:21:13.320 --> 00:21:14.260
 that there's no hope

00:21:14.260 --> 00:21:15.240
 he said

00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:15.760
 now I know

00:21:15.760 --> 00:21:16.580
 there's no hope

00:21:16.580 --> 00:21:18.460
 I'm really good

00:21:18.460 --> 00:21:19.460
 at cheering people up

00:21:19.460 --> 00:21:20.100
 and

00:21:20.100 --> 00:21:21.800
 and then I said

00:21:21.800 --> 00:21:22.240
 but that's why

00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:23.020
 we need grace

00:21:23.020 --> 00:21:25.040
 that's why we need grace

00:21:25.040 --> 00:21:26.000
 I'm going to read

00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:27.300
 verses 7 to 11 again

00:21:27.300 --> 00:21:28.100
 but take in mind

00:21:28.100 --> 00:21:29.480
 a different type of image

00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:30.460
 it wasn't as if

00:21:30.460 --> 00:21:30.840
 God said

00:21:30.840 --> 00:21:31.300
 well I'm going to try

00:21:31.300 --> 00:21:32.240
 this plan with Moses

00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:34.359
 I sure hope it works

00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:36.140
 and then after a period

00:21:36.140 --> 00:21:36.480
 of time

00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:36.960
 God went

00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:37.900
 oh dang

00:21:37.900 --> 00:21:38.660
 it didn't work

00:21:38.660 --> 00:21:39.200
 what on earth

00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:40.019
 am I going to do now

00:21:40.019 --> 00:21:40.940
 it wasn't like that at all

00:21:40.940 --> 00:21:42.920
 if any of you have

00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:43.299
 some

00:21:43.299 --> 00:21:44.359
 if any of you have watched

00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:44.859
 any of the

00:21:44.859 --> 00:21:46.059
 of the moon shots

00:21:46.059 --> 00:21:46.880
 any of the

00:21:46.880 --> 00:21:47.460
 of the

00:21:47.460 --> 00:21:48.480
 you know

00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:48.940
 on YouTube

00:21:48.940 --> 00:21:50.339
 or maybe some of us

00:21:50.339 --> 00:21:51.519
 watch it on TV

00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:52.839
 back when it actually happened

00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:54.240
 and they sent those

00:21:54.240 --> 00:21:55.559
 Saturn rockets up

00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:56.180
 to send

00:21:56.180 --> 00:21:58.259
 people on

00:21:58.259 --> 00:21:59.180
 to be on the moon

00:21:59.180 --> 00:22:00.400
 you'll know that

00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:00.960
 the rockets

00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:02.220
 were in several stages

00:22:02.220 --> 00:22:04.140
 it was glorious

00:22:04.140 --> 00:22:04.600
 wasn't it

00:22:04.600 --> 00:22:05.180
 watching it

00:22:05.180 --> 00:22:07.120
 I could just imagine

00:22:07.120 --> 00:22:07.940
 what it must have been like

00:22:07.940 --> 00:22:08.559
 to actually have

00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:09.480
 physically been there

00:22:09.480 --> 00:22:10.120
 and you probably

00:22:10.120 --> 00:22:10.600
 would have actually

00:22:10.600 --> 00:22:11.539
 not only seen

00:22:11.539 --> 00:22:12.500
 the rocket

00:22:12.500 --> 00:22:13.720
 you would have

00:22:13.720 --> 00:22:14.620
 probably felt it

00:22:14.620 --> 00:22:15.759
 and it would have

00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:16.680
 been in your body

00:22:16.680 --> 00:22:17.640
 like a throbbing

00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:18.259
 in your body

00:22:18.259 --> 00:22:19.259
 and in your ears

00:22:19.259 --> 00:22:19.620
 it would have been

00:22:19.620 --> 00:22:20.400
 very overwhelming

00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:21.200
 very glorious

00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:22.759
 but you know how long

00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:23.500
 the first stage

00:22:23.500 --> 00:22:24.000
 of the rocket

00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:24.960
 had to last for

00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:25.860
 and had to do its work

00:22:25.860 --> 00:22:27.319
 I only know this

00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:28.019
 because I looked it up

00:22:28.019 --> 00:22:29.100
 I find it on the internet

00:22:29.100 --> 00:22:30.039
 it has to be true

00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:31.059
 if you find it on the internet

00:22:31.059 --> 00:22:31.319
 right

00:22:31.319 --> 00:22:32.579
 two minutes

00:22:32.579 --> 00:22:33.619
 and 42 seconds

00:22:33.619 --> 00:22:36.179
 this huge

00:22:36.179 --> 00:22:36.960
 the biggest part

00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:37.619
 of the whole rocket

00:22:37.619 --> 00:22:38.579
 only has to last

00:22:38.579 --> 00:22:39.240
 for two minutes

00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:40.279
 and 42 seconds

00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:42.139
 and then if it's

00:22:42.139 --> 00:22:42.839
 doing its job

00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:43.279
 right at the end

00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:43.700
 of two minutes

00:22:43.700 --> 00:22:44.579
 and 42 seconds

00:22:44.579 --> 00:22:45.079
 the rocket

00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:45.819
 turns off

00:22:45.819 --> 00:22:47.980
 and the next rocket

00:22:47.980 --> 00:22:48.639
 keeps going

00:22:48.639 --> 00:22:51.700
 and all of the language

00:22:51.700 --> 00:22:52.559
 here

00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:54.059
 in the text

00:22:54.059 --> 00:22:55.319
 and it's

00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:56.419
 a bit more subtle

00:22:56.419 --> 00:22:56.939
 in English

00:22:56.939 --> 00:22:57.819
 it's very obvious

00:22:57.819 --> 00:22:58.899
 in the original language

00:22:58.900 --> 00:23:00.320
 is that God

00:23:00.320 --> 00:23:01.000
 was doing

00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:01.940
 a mighty work

00:23:01.940 --> 00:23:02.660
 through Moses

00:23:02.660 --> 00:23:04.759
 and at every stage

00:23:04.759 --> 00:23:05.740
 throughout that

00:23:05.740 --> 00:23:07.180
 he always knew

00:23:07.180 --> 00:23:08.000
 that it was leading

00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:09.280
 to the next stage

00:23:09.280 --> 00:23:11.120
 this isn't replacement

00:23:11.120 --> 00:23:11.720
 theology

00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:12.360
 or anything like that

00:23:12.360 --> 00:23:13.400
 this is part of God's

00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:13.940
 bigger plan

00:23:13.940 --> 00:23:14.680
 he always only has

00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:15.340
 one people

00:23:15.340 --> 00:23:17.160
 but it was always

00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:17.720
 every

00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:19.060
 Moses has all of these

00:23:19.060 --> 00:23:20.500
 promises and prophecies

00:23:20.500 --> 00:23:21.600
 of a greater prophet

00:23:21.600 --> 00:23:21.960
 of a

00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:22.840
 all of the

00:23:22.840 --> 00:23:24.620
 sacrifices are pointing

00:23:24.620 --> 00:23:26.060
 to a greater sacrifice

00:23:26.059 --> 00:23:28.279
 all of these things

00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:29.099
 it's always pointing

00:23:29.099 --> 00:23:30.099
 to something more

00:23:30.099 --> 00:23:30.879
 and that's this

00:23:30.879 --> 00:23:31.879
 language

00:23:31.879 --> 00:23:33.319
 that it's not a failure

00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:34.759
 part of it was to help

00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:35.839
 to communicate to us

00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:36.679
 that we can't follow

00:23:36.679 --> 00:23:37.559
 rules and rituals

00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:38.559
 but that it always

00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:39.619
 had an end

00:23:39.619 --> 00:23:41.039
 it always had a purpose

00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:42.579
 it always had

00:23:42.579 --> 00:23:43.740
 a next stage

00:23:43.740 --> 00:23:44.799
 it always had

00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:46.179
 the next thing

00:23:46.179 --> 00:23:46.879
 in mind

00:23:46.879 --> 00:23:47.919
 and that's why

00:23:47.919 --> 00:23:48.879
 if you listen to it again

00:23:48.879 --> 00:23:49.700
 listen to it within

00:23:49.700 --> 00:23:50.559
 that perspective

00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:51.220
 thinking of the

00:23:51.220 --> 00:23:51.980
 Saturn rocket

00:23:51.980 --> 00:23:53.240
 and when they built

00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:54.079
 the Saturn rocket

00:23:54.079 --> 00:23:54.720
 they built it

00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:55.599
 so the first stage

00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:56.719
 they had a plan

00:23:56.719 --> 00:23:57.819
 that it would stop

00:23:57.819 --> 00:23:58.419
 and that there'd be

00:23:58.419 --> 00:23:59.279
 these other stages

00:23:59.279 --> 00:23:59.899
 that would eventually

00:23:59.899 --> 00:24:01.500
 take human beings

00:24:01.500 --> 00:24:02.699
 to walk on the moon

00:24:02.699 --> 00:24:03.859
 now if the ministry

00:24:03.859 --> 00:24:04.299
 of death

00:24:04.299 --> 00:24:04.859
 verse 7

00:24:04.859 --> 00:24:05.699
 carved in letters

00:24:05.699 --> 00:24:06.319
 on stone

00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:07.439
 came with such glory

00:24:07.439 --> 00:24:08.099
 that the Israelites

00:24:08.099 --> 00:24:08.919
 could not gaze

00:24:08.919 --> 00:24:09.939
 at Moses' face

00:24:09.939 --> 00:24:10.899
 because of its glory

00:24:10.899 --> 00:24:12.059
 which was being

00:24:12.059 --> 00:24:13.259
 brought to an end

00:24:13.259 --> 00:24:14.899
 will not the ministry

00:24:14.899 --> 00:24:15.740
 of the Holy Spirit

00:24:15.740 --> 00:24:16.980
 have even more glory

00:24:16.980 --> 00:24:18.500
 for if there was glory

00:24:18.500 --> 00:24:19.099
 in the ministry

00:24:19.099 --> 00:24:20.000
 of condemnation

00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:20.519
 the ministry

00:24:20.519 --> 00:24:21.639
 of righteousness

00:24:21.639 --> 00:24:22.639
 a ministry

00:24:22.639 --> 00:24:23.339
 that's going to

00:24:23.339 --> 00:24:24.379
 make us right

00:24:24.379 --> 00:24:25.139
 with God

00:24:25.140 --> 00:24:26.140
 make it right

00:24:26.140 --> 00:24:27.880
 must far exceed

00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:28.860
 in its glory

00:24:28.860 --> 00:24:30.220
 indeed in this case

00:24:30.220 --> 00:24:31.259
 what once had glory

00:24:31.259 --> 00:24:31.960
 has come to have

00:24:31.960 --> 00:24:32.780
 no glory at all

00:24:32.780 --> 00:24:33.720
 because of the glory

00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:34.720
 that surpasses it

00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:36.440
 who looks at the final stage

00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:37.140
 when you can be looking

00:24:37.140 --> 00:24:38.060
 at the people on the moon

00:24:38.060 --> 00:24:40.460
 I mean who looks at

00:24:40.460 --> 00:24:40.980
 the first stage

00:24:40.980 --> 00:24:41.460
 when you can be looking

00:24:41.460 --> 00:24:42.259
 at the people on the moon

00:24:42.259 --> 00:24:43.420
 because of the glory

00:24:43.420 --> 00:24:45.259
 that surpasses it

00:24:45.259 --> 00:24:46.420
 for if what was being

00:24:46.420 --> 00:24:47.400
 brought to an end

00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:48.380
 came with glory

00:24:48.380 --> 00:24:49.520
 much more will that

00:24:49.520 --> 00:24:50.380
 which is permanent

00:24:50.380 --> 00:24:51.060
 have glory

00:24:51.059 --> 00:24:52.319
 since we have

00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:53.159
 such a hope

00:24:53.159 --> 00:24:54.679
 we are very bold

00:24:54.679 --> 00:24:55.879
 or we are very open

00:24:55.879 --> 00:24:56.419
 the word bold

00:24:56.419 --> 00:24:57.159
 can also mean

00:24:57.159 --> 00:24:58.940
 completely and utterly open

00:24:58.940 --> 00:25:00.200
 not like Moses

00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:01.079
 who would put a veil

00:25:01.079 --> 00:25:01.980
 over his face

00:25:01.980 --> 00:25:03.299
 so that the Israelites

00:25:03.299 --> 00:25:04.240
 might not gaze

00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:04.799
 at the outcome

00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:05.599
 of what was being

00:25:05.599 --> 00:25:06.720
 brought to an end

00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:09.220
 you see

00:25:09.220 --> 00:25:12.220
 God looks down

00:25:12.220 --> 00:25:12.720
 from heaven

00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:13.460
 at you and me

00:25:13.460 --> 00:25:15.159
 and he knows

00:25:15.159 --> 00:25:16.139
 that we cannot

00:25:16.139 --> 00:25:17.440
 keep rules and rituals

00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:19.079
 and that if all we think

00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:19.899
 if we are part of those

00:25:19.899 --> 00:25:22.179
 9,999 religions

00:25:22.179 --> 00:25:23.500
 that believe

00:25:23.500 --> 00:25:24.419
 it's just some rule

00:25:24.419 --> 00:25:25.119
 or some ritual

00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:26.159
 and if these ones don't work

00:25:26.159 --> 00:25:27.339
 if Islam's not working out

00:25:27.339 --> 00:25:28.359
 maybe we should try Buddhism

00:25:28.359 --> 00:25:28.980
 and if Buddhism

00:25:28.980 --> 00:25:29.679
 isn't working out

00:25:29.679 --> 00:25:31.139
 there's thousands

00:25:31.139 --> 00:25:31.939
 of different types

00:25:31.939 --> 00:25:32.460
 of Hinduism

00:25:32.460 --> 00:25:33.079
 maybe one of those

00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:33.460
 work out

00:25:33.460 --> 00:25:34.279
 and if those don't work out

00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:35.119
 well maybe we can make

00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:35.740
 our own little bit

00:25:35.740 --> 00:25:36.379
 of Hinduism

00:25:36.379 --> 00:25:37.000
 bit of Buddhism

00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:37.779
 bit of Judaism

00:25:37.779 --> 00:25:38.619
 bit of Islam

00:25:38.619 --> 00:25:39.939
 and put it all together

00:25:39.939 --> 00:25:40.740
 and he knows

00:25:40.740 --> 00:25:41.179
 that they're all

00:25:41.179 --> 00:25:42.199
 just not going to work

00:25:42.199 --> 00:25:43.159
 they're just not going to work

00:25:43.159 --> 00:25:44.039
 they're just not going to work

00:25:44.039 --> 00:25:44.859
 they're just not going to work

00:25:44.859 --> 00:25:45.639
 he knows that

00:25:45.639 --> 00:25:46.960
 he loves us

00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:48.319
 and so

00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:50.099
 he's going to do

00:25:50.099 --> 00:25:51.039
 something about it

00:25:51.039 --> 00:25:52.480
 he's going to do

00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:53.659
 something about it

00:25:53.659 --> 00:25:54.899
 now

00:25:54.899 --> 00:26:02.879
 in many ways

00:26:02.879 --> 00:26:04.299
 this is just a two point sermon

00:26:04.299 --> 00:26:05.539
 the first one

00:26:05.539 --> 00:26:06.200
 about the rules

00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:08.159
 and the second point

00:26:08.159 --> 00:26:09.099
 is going to culminate

00:26:09.099 --> 00:26:09.960
 in verse 18

00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:11.339
 and those of you

00:26:11.339 --> 00:26:11.759
 who have been here

00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:12.359
 other weeks

00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:13.439
 I think book of

00:26:13.439 --> 00:26:14.039
 2nd Corinthians

00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:15.519
 has more verses

00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:16.200
 to memorize

00:26:16.200 --> 00:26:16.919
 than just about

00:26:16.919 --> 00:26:18.019
 any verse in the Bible

00:26:18.019 --> 00:26:19.940
 could you put it up

00:26:19.940 --> 00:26:20.539
 on the stage

00:26:20.539 --> 00:26:21.259
 could you read this

00:26:21.259 --> 00:26:21.879
 out with me

00:26:21.879 --> 00:26:23.480
 we're going to say this

00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:24.460
 quite a few times

00:26:24.460 --> 00:26:26.160
 I really encourage you

00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:27.059
 if you have never

00:26:27.059 --> 00:26:28.160
 memorized scripture

00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:29.680
 to start memorizing scripture

00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:30.740
 and this is a great verse

00:26:30.740 --> 00:26:31.259
 to memorize

00:26:31.259 --> 00:26:32.599
 we're going to read it up

00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:33.779
 I just want to read it first

00:26:33.779 --> 00:26:34.759
 this is the conclusion

00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:35.839
 of this whole section

00:26:35.839 --> 00:26:36.779
 we're going to get to it

00:26:36.779 --> 00:26:37.859
 but could you read it

00:26:37.859 --> 00:26:38.720
 out loud with me

00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:40.519
 and we all

00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:42.359
 with unveiled face

00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:44.039
 beholding the glory

00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:44.759
 of the Lord

00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:46.619
 are being transformed

00:26:46.619 --> 00:26:48.240
 into the same image

00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:49.440
 from one degree

00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:50.059
 of glory

00:26:50.059 --> 00:26:50.779
 to another

00:26:50.779 --> 00:26:52.339
 for this comes

00:26:52.339 --> 00:26:53.140
 from the Lord

00:26:53.140 --> 00:26:54.519
 who is the spirit

00:26:54.519 --> 00:26:55.779
 and

00:26:55.779 --> 00:26:59.480
 Paul begins

00:26:59.480 --> 00:26:59.920
 with this

00:26:59.920 --> 00:27:00.680
 very powerful

00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:01.379
 presentation

00:27:01.379 --> 00:27:01.980
 of in a sense

00:27:01.980 --> 00:27:02.920
 the bad news

00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:04.220
 and then he's going

00:27:04.220 --> 00:27:04.900
 to switch

00:27:04.900 --> 00:27:06.839
 to a different image

00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:07.740
 he sort of is

00:27:07.740 --> 00:27:08.420
 like a comedian

00:27:08.420 --> 00:27:09.079
 he takes

00:27:09.079 --> 00:27:10.119
 this image

00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:10.779
 of the veil

00:27:10.779 --> 00:27:11.400
 and he's going to

00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:12.059
 now all of a sudden

00:27:12.059 --> 00:27:12.720
 turn this into

00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:13.940
 something very powerful

00:27:13.940 --> 00:27:14.640
 and it's a very

00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:15.960
 human experience

00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:17.640
 to help us explain

00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:18.480
 how it is

00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:20.420
 see what God wants

00:27:20.420 --> 00:27:21.480
 he wants us

00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:22.460
 to come to the point

00:27:22.460 --> 00:27:25.019
 where we say

00:27:25.019 --> 00:27:27.120
 in a sense

00:27:27.120 --> 00:27:28.279
 that first person

00:27:28.279 --> 00:27:28.759
 the young man

00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:29.600
 that I talked to

00:27:29.600 --> 00:27:31.799
 who said

00:27:31.799 --> 00:27:32.320
 that there was

00:27:32.320 --> 00:27:32.940
 no hope

00:27:32.940 --> 00:27:35.000
 that acknowledged

00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:36.360
 that he could never

00:27:36.360 --> 00:27:37.200
 keep the rules

00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:37.920
 and the rituals

00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:40.380
 that he could never

00:27:40.380 --> 00:27:41.080
 that there would

00:27:41.080 --> 00:27:41.940
 always be things

00:27:41.940 --> 00:27:42.460
 that he would do

00:27:42.460 --> 00:27:42.840
 is wrong

00:27:42.840 --> 00:27:43.539
 in a sense

00:27:43.539 --> 00:27:45.000
 what God wants

00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:47.059
 is to come

00:27:47.059 --> 00:27:47.659
 to the point

00:27:47.659 --> 00:27:48.259
 to say

00:27:48.259 --> 00:27:49.159
 which I tried

00:27:49.159 --> 00:27:49.940
 to share with him

00:27:49.940 --> 00:27:52.399
 God unless you

00:27:52.399 --> 00:27:53.039
 do something

00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:54.019
 real and effective

00:27:54.019 --> 00:27:55.879
 I have no hope

00:27:55.879 --> 00:27:59.319
 I need you

00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:00.200
 to do something

00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:01.740
 because I can't

00:28:01.740 --> 00:28:02.139
 do it

00:28:02.139 --> 00:28:05.240
 I need you

00:28:05.240 --> 00:28:06.420
 to show

00:28:06.420 --> 00:28:07.519
 real and effective

00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:08.240
 and powerful

00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:09.500
 mercy and grace

00:28:09.500 --> 00:28:12.000
 I need mercy

00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:12.559
 and grace

00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:17.740
 I need mercy

00:28:17.740 --> 00:28:18.319
 and grace

00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:21.099
 and Paul

00:28:21.099 --> 00:28:22.259
 continues to deepen

00:28:22.259 --> 00:28:23.940
 this by developing

00:28:23.940 --> 00:28:24.420
 the image

00:28:24.420 --> 00:28:25.140
 of the blindfold

00:28:25.140 --> 00:28:27.119
 it's a very

00:28:27.119 --> 00:28:28.359
 very human problem

00:28:28.359 --> 00:28:28.700
 right

00:28:28.700 --> 00:28:30.059
 human beings

00:28:30.059 --> 00:28:30.759
 have multiple

00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:31.740
 blindfolds

00:28:31.740 --> 00:28:32.980
 the surprising

00:28:32.980 --> 00:28:33.660
 thing is that

00:28:33.660 --> 00:28:34.380
 for most of us

00:28:34.380 --> 00:28:35.259
 it's very interesting

00:28:35.259 --> 00:28:36.259
 I mean do we have

00:28:36.259 --> 00:28:36.839
 blindfolds

00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:37.640
 what is it that

00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:38.759
 supporters of

00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:39.619
 Hillary Clinton

00:28:39.619 --> 00:28:40.479
 say

00:28:40.479 --> 00:28:41.359
 those of you

00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:41.759
 who are here

00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:42.719
 who like Clinton

00:28:42.719 --> 00:28:43.179
 what do you say

00:28:43.179 --> 00:28:43.639
 about people

00:28:43.639 --> 00:28:44.500
 who if you find

00:28:44.500 --> 00:28:45.159
 out that somebody

00:28:45.159 --> 00:28:46.659
 after a drink coffee

00:28:46.659 --> 00:28:47.279
 that somebody here

00:28:47.279 --> 00:28:48.219
 might vote for Trump

00:28:48.219 --> 00:28:49.279
 you'd think to yourself

00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:51.599
 can't they see

00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:54.279
 are they blind

00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:55.939
 like

00:28:55.939 --> 00:28:57.939
 how can they look

00:28:57.939 --> 00:28:58.819
 at that guy

00:28:58.819 --> 00:29:00.500
 they're not looking

00:29:00.500 --> 00:29:01.879
 if they were looking

00:29:01.879 --> 00:29:03.399
 they wouldn't vote

00:29:03.399 --> 00:29:04.000
 for him

00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:06.079
 you Trump supporters

00:29:06.079 --> 00:29:08.359
 you quiet ones

00:29:08.359 --> 00:29:09.119
 you know who you are

00:29:09.119 --> 00:29:12.379
 what are you saying

00:29:12.379 --> 00:29:12.819
 about people

00:29:12.819 --> 00:29:13.059
 who are going

00:29:13.059 --> 00:29:13.819
 to vote for Clinton

00:29:13.819 --> 00:29:14.799
 he's saying

00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:16.579
 are they blind

00:29:16.579 --> 00:29:18.659
 can't they see

00:29:18.659 --> 00:29:20.139
 who on earth

00:29:20.139 --> 00:29:20.899
 could possibly

00:29:20.899 --> 00:29:21.959
 vote for her

00:29:21.959 --> 00:29:24.599
 I could do this

00:29:24.599 --> 00:29:25.419
 with just about anything

00:29:25.419 --> 00:29:26.799
 climate change deniers

00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:27.799
 and climate change

00:29:27.799 --> 00:29:28.299
 supporters

00:29:28.299 --> 00:29:29.099
 what do both of them

00:29:29.099 --> 00:29:29.740
 say about the other

00:29:29.740 --> 00:29:30.879
 can't they see

00:29:30.879 --> 00:29:32.319
 are they wearing

00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:33.179
 blindfolds

00:29:33.179 --> 00:29:34.019
 what do often

00:29:34.019 --> 00:29:34.759
 some of you say

00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:35.539
 in relationships

00:29:35.539 --> 00:29:36.240
 you know you have

00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:36.979
 your girlfriend

00:29:36.980 --> 00:29:37.660
 or whatever

00:29:37.660 --> 00:29:38.400
 and she starts

00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:38.980
 to be interested

00:29:38.980 --> 00:29:40.000
 in a particular guy

00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:40.720
 and you say

00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:41.400
 to your girlfriends

00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:42.640
 somebody has to

00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:43.180
 speak to her

00:29:43.180 --> 00:29:44.059
 can't she see

00:29:44.059 --> 00:29:45.480
 who that guy is

00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:48.319
 he's such a loser

00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:50.700
 like is she

00:29:50.700 --> 00:29:52.140
 what's she's blind

00:29:52.140 --> 00:29:54.960
 right we say this

00:29:54.960 --> 00:29:55.579
 all the time

00:29:55.579 --> 00:29:57.860
 no no Clinton

00:29:57.860 --> 00:29:58.720
 supporter thinks

00:29:58.720 --> 00:29:59.360
 that they might be

00:29:59.360 --> 00:29:59.640
 blind

00:29:59.640 --> 00:30:00.620
 no Trump supporter

00:30:00.620 --> 00:30:01.180
 thinks that they

00:30:01.180 --> 00:30:01.900
 might be blind

00:30:01.900 --> 00:30:03.200
 but the surprising

00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:04.079
 thing is is that

00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:04.799
 in the world

00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:05.500
 how do we deal

00:30:05.500 --> 00:30:06.220
 with blindfolds

00:30:06.220 --> 00:30:06.660
 we think that

00:30:06.660 --> 00:30:07.160
 if we can just

00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:07.740
 take off our

00:30:07.740 --> 00:30:08.440
 blindfolds

00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:08.880
 and take off

00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:09.559
 our blindfolds

00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:10.000
 and take off

00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:10.700
 our blindfolds

00:30:10.700 --> 00:30:11.220
 and maybe we'll

00:30:11.220 --> 00:30:11.759
 take off the

00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:12.579
 blindfolds

00:30:12.579 --> 00:30:13.420
 enough blindfolds

00:30:13.420 --> 00:30:13.920
 that we can see

00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:14.220
 God

00:30:14.220 --> 00:30:15.400
 the Bible says

00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:15.940
 you got it all

00:30:15.940 --> 00:30:16.339
 wrong

00:30:16.339 --> 00:30:17.920
 what we're going

00:30:17.920 --> 00:30:18.359
 to see in the

00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:19.059
 Bible here

00:30:19.059 --> 00:30:19.960
 is that the

00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:20.759
 Bible is going

00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:21.259
 to tell us

00:30:21.259 --> 00:30:21.980
 that the root

00:30:21.980 --> 00:30:23.299
 blindfold that we

00:30:23.299 --> 00:30:23.720
 wear

00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:25.920
 is a blindfold

00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:26.880
 that keeps us

00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:27.799
 blind to God

00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:32.359
 and so

00:30:32.359 --> 00:30:33.099
 one of the

00:30:33.099 --> 00:30:33.720
 images of

00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:34.319
 salvation

00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:35.860
 is that

00:30:35.860 --> 00:30:36.240
 one of the

00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:36.620
 ways that

00:30:36.620 --> 00:30:37.120
 God makes

00:30:37.120 --> 00:30:37.519
 us right

00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:38.180
 with himself

00:30:38.180 --> 00:30:39.620
 is that

00:30:39.620 --> 00:30:40.779
 he does it

00:30:40.779 --> 00:30:41.180
 all by

00:30:41.180 --> 00:30:41.860
 Jesus dying

00:30:41.860 --> 00:30:42.259
 upon the

00:30:42.259 --> 00:30:42.559
 cross

00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:43.000
 later on

00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:43.839
 in 2 Corinthians

00:30:43.839 --> 00:30:44.200
 it's going

00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:44.440
 to say

00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:45.160
 God made

00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:45.559
 him

00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:46.660
 who knew

00:30:46.660 --> 00:30:47.440
 no sin

00:30:47.440 --> 00:30:48.400
 to be

00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:49.019
 sin for

00:30:49.019 --> 00:30:49.420
 us

00:30:49.420 --> 00:30:50.299
 so that

00:30:50.299 --> 00:30:51.039
 in him

00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:52.039
 we might

00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:52.559
 become

00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:53.640
 the righteousness

00:30:53.640 --> 00:30:54.360
 of God

00:30:54.360 --> 00:30:55.319
 and explain

00:30:55.319 --> 00:30:55.779
 that when we

00:30:55.779 --> 00:30:56.160
 get to it

00:30:56.160 --> 00:30:56.480
 in a couple

00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:56.779
 of weeks

00:30:56.779 --> 00:30:57.120
 it's just

00:30:57.120 --> 00:30:57.940
 one of the

00:30:57.940 --> 00:30:58.680
 most powerful

00:30:58.680 --> 00:30:59.579
 compact

00:30:59.579 --> 00:31:00.440
 almost creedal

00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:00.900
 statements

00:31:00.900 --> 00:31:01.259
 of what

00:31:01.259 --> 00:31:01.819
 Jesus does

00:31:01.819 --> 00:31:02.100
 for us

00:31:02.100 --> 00:31:02.360
 on the

00:31:02.360 --> 00:31:02.740
 cross

00:31:02.740 --> 00:31:03.980
 it's going

00:31:03.980 --> 00:31:04.240
 to come

00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:04.539
 up in

00:31:04.539 --> 00:31:05.400
 a couple

00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:05.759
 of weeks

00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:06.420
 the end

00:31:06.420 --> 00:31:07.240
 of 2 Corinthians

00:31:07.240 --> 00:31:07.920
 God made

00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:08.319
 him who

00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:08.680
 knew no

00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:08.940
 sin

00:31:08.940 --> 00:31:09.779
 to be

00:31:09.779 --> 00:31:10.180
 sin for

00:31:10.180 --> 00:31:10.480
 us

00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:11.680
 so that

00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:12.079
 in him

00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:12.440
 we might

00:31:12.440 --> 00:31:12.740
 become

00:31:12.740 --> 00:31:13.220
 the righteousness

00:31:13.220 --> 00:31:13.819
 of God

00:31:13.819 --> 00:31:14.799
 and part

00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:15.000
 of that

00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:15.620
 whole process

00:31:15.620 --> 00:31:16.900
 is that

00:31:16.900 --> 00:31:17.640
 God takes

00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:18.220
 the blindfold

00:31:18.220 --> 00:31:18.779
 off

00:31:18.779 --> 00:31:23.059
 that the

00:31:23.059 --> 00:31:23.339
 root

00:31:23.339 --> 00:31:24.039
 blindfold

00:31:24.039 --> 00:31:25.980
 that

00:31:25.980 --> 00:31:26.839
 undergirds

00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:27.640
 the blindfolds

00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:27.960
 we have

00:31:27.960 --> 00:31:28.779
 about politics

00:31:28.779 --> 00:31:29.059
 and the

00:31:29.059 --> 00:31:29.599
 blindfolds

00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:29.759
 that we

00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:29.920
 have

00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:30.140
 about

00:31:30.140 --> 00:31:30.799
 relationships

00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:31.980
 that the

00:31:31.980 --> 00:31:32.220
 root

00:31:32.220 --> 00:31:32.659
 blindfold

00:31:32.659 --> 00:31:33.240
 is the

00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:33.379
 one

00:31:33.379 --> 00:31:33.639
 that we

00:31:33.639 --> 00:31:33.980
 wear

00:31:33.980 --> 00:31:34.940
 in regard

00:31:34.940 --> 00:31:35.180
 to

00:31:35.180 --> 00:31:35.619
 eternal

00:31:35.619 --> 00:31:36.180
 destiny

00:31:36.180 --> 00:31:37.119
 and a

00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:37.599
 relationship

00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:38.019
 with the

00:31:38.019 --> 00:31:38.339
 creator

00:31:38.339 --> 00:31:42.200
 listen to

00:31:42.200 --> 00:31:43.119
 verses 12

00:31:43.119 --> 00:31:43.980
 through 18

00:31:43.980 --> 00:31:45.119
 since we

00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:45.759
 have such a

00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:46.039
 hope

00:31:46.039 --> 00:31:46.700
 that is that

00:31:46.700 --> 00:31:47.159
 there's God

00:31:47.159 --> 00:31:47.639
 has some

00:31:47.639 --> 00:31:49.000
 greater thing

00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:49.519
 that he's going

00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:49.879
 to do

00:31:49.879 --> 00:31:50.940
 since we have

00:31:50.940 --> 00:31:51.559
 such a hope

00:31:51.559 --> 00:31:52.059
 we are very

00:31:52.059 --> 00:31:52.519
 bold

00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:53.599
 or very open

00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:54.059
 not like

00:31:54.059 --> 00:31:54.440
 Moses

00:31:54.440 --> 00:31:55.440
 who would put

00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:55.799
 a veil

00:31:55.799 --> 00:31:56.299
 over his

00:31:56.299 --> 00:31:56.599
 face

00:31:56.599 --> 00:31:57.119
 so that the

00:31:57.119 --> 00:31:57.480
 Israelites

00:31:57.480 --> 00:31:57.960
 might not

00:31:57.960 --> 00:31:58.500
 gaze at the

00:31:58.500 --> 00:31:58.960
 outcome of

00:31:58.960 --> 00:31:59.399
 what was being

00:31:59.399 --> 00:31:59.960
 brought to an

00:31:59.960 --> 00:32:00.180
 end

00:32:00.180 --> 00:32:01.319
 but their

00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:01.860
 minds were

00:32:01.860 --> 00:32:02.400
 hardened

00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:03.519
 he's just

00:32:03.519 --> 00:32:03.840
 going to say

00:32:03.840 --> 00:32:04.360
 that briefly

00:32:04.360 --> 00:32:04.740
 but he's going

00:32:04.740 --> 00:32:05.160
 to get right

00:32:05.160 --> 00:32:05.819
 back to this

00:32:05.819 --> 00:32:06.579
 issue of a

00:32:06.579 --> 00:32:07.500
 hardening in the

00:32:07.500 --> 00:32:08.500
 blindfold or the

00:32:08.500 --> 00:32:09.079
 veil is the

00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:09.620
 same thing

00:32:09.620 --> 00:32:10.240
 but their

00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:10.620
 minds were

00:32:10.620 --> 00:32:11.160
 hardened for

00:32:11.160 --> 00:32:11.720
 to this day

00:32:11.720 --> 00:32:12.220
 when they read

00:32:12.220 --> 00:32:12.600
 the old

00:32:12.600 --> 00:32:13.000
 covenant

00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:14.279
 the same veil

00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:14.799
 remains

00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:16.340
 unlifted

00:32:16.340 --> 00:32:17.079
 that is because

00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:17.779
 we continue

00:32:17.779 --> 00:32:18.579
 time and time

00:32:18.579 --> 00:32:18.940
 and time

00:32:18.940 --> 00:32:19.299
 and time

00:32:19.299 --> 00:32:19.640
 again

00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:20.480
 Einstein said

00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:21.140
 that insanity

00:32:21.140 --> 00:32:21.640
 is trying to

00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:22.079
 do the same

00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:22.579
 thing over

00:32:22.579 --> 00:32:22.920
 and over

00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:23.240
 and over

00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:23.720
 expecting

00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:24.640
 different results

00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:25.640
 and the

00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:26.100
 very very

00:32:26.100 --> 00:32:26.960
 heart of the

00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:27.819
 religious spirit

00:32:27.819 --> 00:32:28.480
 is to think

00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:28.880
 that we can

00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:29.819
 keep changing

00:32:29.819 --> 00:32:30.379
 the rules

00:32:30.379 --> 00:32:31.799
 and eventually

00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:32.980
 we'll get the

00:32:32.980 --> 00:32:33.839
 rules that will

00:32:33.839 --> 00:32:34.439
 allow us to

00:32:34.439 --> 00:32:34.919
 succeed

00:32:34.919 --> 00:32:35.939
 but the problem

00:32:35.939 --> 00:32:36.579
 is that we

00:32:36.579 --> 00:32:37.119
 can't keep

00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:37.659
 the rules

00:32:37.659 --> 00:32:39.579
 so say that

00:32:39.579 --> 00:32:39.839
 again

00:32:39.839 --> 00:32:40.460
 verse 14

00:32:40.460 --> 00:32:40.819
 but their

00:32:40.819 --> 00:32:41.220
 minds were

00:32:41.220 --> 00:32:41.539
 hardened

00:32:41.539 --> 00:32:42.119
 for this day

00:32:42.119 --> 00:32:42.559
 when the old

00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:42.879
 covenant

00:32:42.879 --> 00:32:43.980
 when they read

00:32:43.980 --> 00:32:44.659
 the old covenant

00:32:44.659 --> 00:32:45.579
 that same veil

00:32:45.579 --> 00:32:46.079
 remains

00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:46.799
 unlifted

00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:47.519
 because only

00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:48.299
 through Christ

00:32:48.299 --> 00:32:48.899
 it is taken

00:32:48.899 --> 00:32:49.240
 away

00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:49.939
 is it taken

00:32:49.939 --> 00:32:50.099
 away

00:32:50.099 --> 00:32:50.639
 yes to this

00:32:50.639 --> 00:32:51.079
 day whenever

00:32:51.079 --> 00:32:52.079
 Moses is read

00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:53.759
 whenever the

00:32:53.759 --> 00:32:54.279
 rules and the

00:32:54.279 --> 00:32:54.799
 rituals are

00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:55.039
 read

00:32:55.039 --> 00:32:56.019
 a veil lies

00:32:56.019 --> 00:32:56.399
 over their

00:32:56.399 --> 00:32:56.659
 hearts

00:32:56.659 --> 00:32:57.099
 but when

00:32:57.099 --> 00:32:57.839
 one turns

00:32:57.839 --> 00:32:58.240
 to the

00:32:58.240 --> 00:32:58.519
 Lord

00:32:58.519 --> 00:32:59.939
 the veil

00:32:59.939 --> 00:33:00.599
 is removed

00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:02.439
 but when

00:33:02.439 --> 00:33:03.099
 one turns

00:33:03.099 --> 00:33:03.399
 to the

00:33:03.399 --> 00:33:03.579
 Lord

00:33:03.579 --> 00:33:04.259
 notice that

00:33:04.259 --> 00:33:04.539
 it doesn't

00:33:04.539 --> 00:33:04.839
 say when

00:33:04.839 --> 00:33:05.359
 one takes

00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:05.740
 off the

00:33:05.740 --> 00:33:06.000
 veil

00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:07.059
 it's saying

00:33:07.059 --> 00:33:11.759
 I can't

00:33:11.759 --> 00:33:12.279
 follow the

00:33:12.279 --> 00:33:12.720
 rules

00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:13.639
 I can't

00:33:13.639 --> 00:33:13.939
 look at

00:33:13.939 --> 00:33:14.480
 your glory

00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:15.919
 I can't

00:33:15.919 --> 00:33:16.379
 keep the

00:33:16.379 --> 00:33:16.899
 rituals

00:33:16.900 --> 00:33:20.140
 I'm

00:33:20.140 --> 00:33:21.060
 bent

00:33:21.060 --> 00:33:21.460
 and I'm

00:33:21.460 --> 00:33:21.880
 twisted

00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:23.360
 and I

00:33:23.360 --> 00:33:24.160
 can't

00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:25.400
 fix it

00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:27.400
 and I

00:33:27.400 --> 00:33:28.280
 still pray

00:33:28.280 --> 00:33:29.960
 but really

00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:30.720
 God

00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:31.080
 you're an

00:33:31.080 --> 00:33:31.440
 unknown

00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:31.800
 God

00:33:31.800 --> 00:33:32.040
 I don't

00:33:32.040 --> 00:33:32.540
 really know

00:33:32.540 --> 00:33:32.740
 you

00:33:32.740 --> 00:33:33.160
 but I

00:33:33.160 --> 00:33:33.720
 sense

00:33:33.720 --> 00:33:34.160
 there must

00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:34.480
 be a

00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:34.700
 God

00:33:34.700 --> 00:33:34.960
 there's

00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:35.240
 something

00:33:35.240 --> 00:33:35.700
 within me

00:33:35.700 --> 00:33:36.040
 which is

00:33:36.040 --> 00:33:36.620
 calling out

00:33:36.620 --> 00:33:38.140
 and in

00:33:38.140 --> 00:33:38.519
 the Greek

00:33:38.519 --> 00:33:39.019
 tenses

00:33:39.019 --> 00:33:39.460
 of this

00:33:39.460 --> 00:33:39.880
 original

00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:40.300
 text

00:33:40.300 --> 00:33:40.640
 it's a

00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:40.820
 very

00:33:40.820 --> 00:33:41.460
 interesting

00:33:41.460 --> 00:33:42.180
 ambiguity

00:33:42.180 --> 00:33:43.380
 it's

00:33:43.380 --> 00:33:43.860
 on one

00:33:43.860 --> 00:33:44.200
 hand

00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:44.640
 that God

00:33:44.640 --> 00:33:44.960
 has put

00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:45.120
 the

00:33:45.120 --> 00:33:45.480
 blindfold

00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:46.140
 and the

00:33:46.140 --> 00:33:46.300
 other

00:33:46.300 --> 00:33:46.600
 hand

00:33:46.600 --> 00:33:46.880
 it is

00:33:46.880 --> 00:33:47.260
 that I

00:33:47.260 --> 00:33:47.600
 have put

00:33:47.600 --> 00:33:47.760
 the

00:33:47.760 --> 00:33:48.140
 blindfold

00:33:48.140 --> 00:33:50.560
 and I

00:33:50.560 --> 00:33:51.320
 can't

00:33:51.320 --> 00:33:51.960
 use my

00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:52.340
 hands

00:33:52.340 --> 00:33:52.740
 father

00:33:52.740 --> 00:33:53.700
 and then

00:33:53.700 --> 00:33:54.180
 you turn

00:33:54.180 --> 00:33:54.440
 to the

00:33:54.440 --> 00:33:54.600
 Lord

00:33:54.600 --> 00:33:55.040
 you call

00:33:55.040 --> 00:33:55.200
 out

00:33:55.200 --> 00:33:55.520
 and say

00:33:55.520 --> 00:33:55.880
 father

00:33:55.880 --> 00:33:56.400
 God

00:33:56.400 --> 00:33:56.780
 I don't

00:33:56.780 --> 00:33:57.120
 know

00:33:57.120 --> 00:33:58.120
 everything

00:33:58.120 --> 00:33:58.520
 there is

00:33:58.520 --> 00:33:58.800
 to know

00:33:58.800 --> 00:33:59.220
 about you

00:33:59.220 --> 00:33:59.600
 I only

00:33:59.600 --> 00:33:59.900
 know a

00:33:59.900 --> 00:34:00.220
 little bit

00:34:00.220 --> 00:34:00.800
 about you

00:34:00.800 --> 00:34:01.280
 and I

00:34:01.280 --> 00:34:01.440
 don't

00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:01.960
 even

00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:02.360
 all I

00:34:02.360 --> 00:34:02.500
 know

00:34:02.500 --> 00:34:02.900
 father

00:34:02.900 --> 00:34:03.160
 is

00:34:03.160 --> 00:34:03.560
 if you

00:34:03.560 --> 00:34:03.960
 do not

00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:04.240
 do

00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:04.580
 something

00:34:04.580 --> 00:34:04.960
 that I

00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:05.240
 cannot

00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:05.560
 do

00:34:05.560 --> 00:34:06.040
 if you

00:34:06.040 --> 00:34:06.460
 do not

00:34:06.460 --> 00:34:06.760
 show

00:34:06.760 --> 00:34:06.960
 me

00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:07.380
 mercy

00:34:07.380 --> 00:34:07.740
 if

00:34:07.740 --> 00:34:08.780
 you

00:34:08.780 --> 00:34:09.260
 don't

00:34:09.260 --> 00:34:09.539
 do

00:34:09.539 --> 00:34:09.780
 what

00:34:09.780 --> 00:34:10.079
 I

00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:10.500
 cannot

00:34:10.500 --> 00:34:10.900
 do

00:34:10.900 --> 00:34:11.119
 I

00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:11.420
 have

00:34:11.420 --> 00:34:11.640
 no

00:34:11.640 --> 00:34:11.940
 hope

00:34:11.940 --> 00:34:13.240
 dear

00:34:13.240 --> 00:34:13.720
 God

00:34:13.720 --> 00:34:14.039
 do

00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:14.240
 what

00:34:14.240 --> 00:34:14.519
 I

00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:14.880
 cannot

00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:15.380
 do

00:34:15.380 --> 00:34:16.179
 I

00:34:16.179 --> 00:34:16.579
 trust

00:34:16.579 --> 00:34:17.019
 and hope

00:34:17.019 --> 00:34:17.340
 that you

00:34:17.340 --> 00:34:17.579
 have

00:34:17.579 --> 00:34:18.000
 mercy

00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:20.599
 when you

00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:20.980
 turn to

00:34:20.980 --> 00:34:21.119
 the

00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:21.340
 Lord

00:34:21.340 --> 00:34:23.039
 even

00:34:23.039 --> 00:34:23.219
 though

00:34:23.219 --> 00:34:23.420
 our

00:34:23.420 --> 00:34:23.759
 hands

00:34:23.759 --> 00:34:24.139
 want to

00:34:24.139 --> 00:34:24.460
 cling

00:34:24.460 --> 00:34:24.880
 to the

00:34:24.880 --> 00:34:25.300
 blindfold

00:34:25.300 --> 00:34:25.739
 on our

00:34:25.739 --> 00:34:25.980
 eyes

00:34:25.980 --> 00:34:26.179
 the

00:34:26.179 --> 00:34:26.380
 Lord

00:34:26.380 --> 00:34:26.699
 takes

00:34:26.699 --> 00:34:26.860
 the

00:34:26.860 --> 00:34:27.480
 blindfolds

00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:27.739
 away

00:34:27.739 --> 00:34:31.940
 because

00:34:31.940 --> 00:34:32.179
 only

00:34:32.179 --> 00:34:32.480
 God

00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:32.699
 can

00:34:32.699 --> 00:34:32.880
 do

00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:33.159
 it

00:34:33.159 --> 00:34:34.599
 that's

00:34:34.599 --> 00:34:34.739
 what

00:34:34.739 --> 00:34:34.900
 the

00:34:34.900 --> 00:34:35.159
 text

00:34:35.159 --> 00:34:35.360
 is

00:34:35.360 --> 00:34:35.659
 saying

00:34:35.659 --> 00:34:37.639
 verse

00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:38.039
 16

00:34:38.039 --> 00:34:38.320
 again

00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:38.480
 but

00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:38.639
 when

00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:38.860
 one

00:34:38.860 --> 00:34:39.280
 turns

00:34:39.280 --> 00:34:39.440
 to

00:34:39.440 --> 00:34:39.559
 the

00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:39.719
 Lord

00:34:39.719 --> 00:34:39.920
 the

00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:40.119
 veil

00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:40.300
 is

00:34:40.300 --> 00:34:40.659
 removed

00:34:40.659 --> 00:34:40.880
 now

00:34:40.880 --> 00:34:41.079
 the

00:34:41.079 --> 00:34:41.360
 Lord

00:34:41.360 --> 00:34:41.559
 is

00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:41.719
 the

00:34:41.719 --> 00:34:42.039
 spirit

00:34:42.039 --> 00:34:42.199
 and

00:34:42.199 --> 00:34:42.320
 where

00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:42.519
 the

00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:42.800
 spirit

00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:42.920
 of

00:34:42.920 --> 00:34:43.059
 the

00:34:43.059 --> 00:34:43.199
 Lord

00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:43.400
 is

00:34:43.400 --> 00:34:43.599
 there

00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:43.780
 is

00:34:43.780 --> 00:34:44.239
 freedom

00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:46.920
 God

00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:47.219
 made

00:34:47.219 --> 00:34:47.380
 us

00:34:47.380 --> 00:34:47.579
 for

00:34:47.579 --> 00:34:48.059
 himself

00:34:48.059 --> 00:34:48.280
 and

 our

00:34:48.480 --> 00:34:48.820
 hearts

00:34:48.820 --> 00:34:49.019
 are

00:34:49.019 --> 00:34:49.440
 restless

00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:49.719
 and

 our

00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:50.139
 hearts

00:34:50.139 --> 00:34:50.340
 are

00:34:50.340 --> 00:34:51.179
 burdened

00:34:51.179 --> 00:34:51.500
 until

00:34:51.500 --> 00:34:51.719
 our

00:34:51.719 --> 00:34:52.000
 hearts

00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:52.340
 rest

00:34:52.340 --> 00:34:52.519
 in

00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:52.800
 him

00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:54.340
 and

00:34:54.579 --> 00:34:54.800
 all

00:34:54.800 --> 00:34:54.980
 could

 this

00:34:55.400 --> 00:34:55.619
 verse

00:34:55.840 --> 00:34:55.960
 me

00:34:55.960 --> 00:34:56.079
 if

00:34:56.079 --> 00:34:56.239
 it's

00:34:56.239 --> 00:34:56.340
 still

00:34:56.340 --> 00:34:56.480
 up

00:34:56.480 --> 00:34:56.579
 on

00:37:31.120 --> 00:37:31.500
 why

00:37:31.500 --> 00:37:31.980
 is it

00:37:31.980 --> 00:37:32.260
 that we

00:37:32.260 --> 00:37:32.660
 can be

00:37:32.660 --> 00:37:33.080
 blind

00:37:33.080 --> 00:37:33.480
 to our

00:37:33.480 --> 00:37:33.660
 own

00:37:33.660 --> 00:37:34.060
 political

 intellectual

00:37:37.580 --> 00:37:38.240
 biases

 relational

00:37:39.080 --> 00:37:39.680
 biases

00:37:39.680 --> 00:37:40.060
 and we

00:37:40.060 --> 00:37:40.420
 can see

00:37:40.420 --> 00:37:40.680
 it in

00:37:40.680 --> 00:37:41.060
 others

00:37:41.060 --> 00:37:42.040
 and human

00:37:42.040 --> 00:37:42.420
 beings

00:37:42.420 --> 00:37:43.000
 in general

00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:43.480
 have a

00:37:43.480 --> 00:37:43.860
 sense

00:37:43.860 --> 00:37:44.780
 that human

00:37:44.780 --> 00:37:45.400
 health

00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:46.440
 is being

00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:47.240
 unveiled

00:37:47.240 --> 00:37:50.040
 and it's

00:37:50.040 --> 00:37:50.480
 grounded

00:37:50.480 --> 00:37:50.780
 here

00:37:50.780 --> 00:37:51.340
 this is the

00:37:51.340 --> 00:37:51.820
 ground

00:37:51.820 --> 00:37:52.320
 for us

00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:52.740
 when we're

00:37:52.740 --> 00:37:53.220
 grounded

00:37:53.220 --> 00:37:53.540
 in the

00:37:53.540 --> 00:37:53.920
 gospel

00:37:53.920 --> 00:37:54.440
 when we're

00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:54.780
 gripped

00:37:54.780 --> 00:37:55.140
 by the

00:37:55.140 --> 00:37:55.540
 gospel

00:37:55.539 --> 00:37:56.159
 when we

00:37:56.159 --> 00:37:56.699
 understand

00:37:56.699 --> 00:37:57.320
 that God

00:37:57.320 --> 00:37:57.840
 saw us

00:37:57.840 --> 00:37:58.400
 with perfect

00:37:58.400 --> 00:37:58.800
 clarity

00:37:58.800 --> 00:37:59.340
 and still

00:37:59.340 --> 00:37:59.779
 his son

00:37:59.779 --> 00:38:00.219
 came and

00:38:00.219 --> 00:38:00.699
 died for

00:38:00.699 --> 00:38:00.860
 us

00:38:00.860 --> 00:38:01.420
 that when

00:38:01.420 --> 00:38:01.860
 we see

00:38:01.860 --> 00:38:02.500
 that the

00:38:02.500 --> 00:38:02.900
 fundamental

00:38:02.900 --> 00:38:03.500
 act of

00:38:03.500 --> 00:38:04.019
 God

00:38:04.019 --> 00:38:04.679
 in making

00:38:04.679 --> 00:38:05.400
 us justified

00:38:05.400 --> 00:38:05.820
 and right

00:38:05.820 --> 00:38:06.179
 with him

00:38:06.179 --> 00:38:06.599
 is that he

00:38:06.599 --> 00:38:07.219
 would remove

00:38:07.219 --> 00:38:07.759
 the veil

00:38:07.759 --> 00:38:08.619
 there is a

00:38:08.619 --> 00:38:09.340
 courage for

00:38:09.340 --> 00:38:09.599
 us

00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:10.159
 and an

00:38:10.159 --> 00:38:10.539
 impetus

00:38:10.539 --> 00:38:11.039
 for us

00:38:11.039 --> 00:38:11.840
 to remove

00:38:11.840 --> 00:38:12.420
 the veils

00:38:12.420 --> 00:38:12.880
 by which

00:38:12.880 --> 00:38:13.179
 we live

00:38:13.179 --> 00:38:13.820
 the smaller

00:38:13.820 --> 00:38:14.199
 veils

00:38:14.199 --> 00:38:14.679
 by which

00:38:14.679 --> 00:38:15.440
 we live

00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:16.000
 that blind

00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:16.340
 us to

00:38:16.340 --> 00:38:16.639
 who we

00:38:16.639 --> 00:38:16.980
 are and

00:38:16.980 --> 00:38:17.239
 what we're

00:38:17.239 --> 00:38:17.559
 doing to

00:38:17.559 --> 00:38:18.099
 other people

00:38:18.099 --> 00:38:18.920
 there's this

00:38:18.920 --> 00:38:19.659
 incentive

00:38:19.659 --> 00:38:20.119
 in the

00:38:20.119 --> 00:38:20.500
 gospel

00:38:20.500 --> 00:38:21.239
 a grounding

00:38:21.239 --> 00:38:21.599
 in the

00:38:21.599 --> 00:38:22.039
 gospel

00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:23.320
 a push

00:38:23.320 --> 00:38:23.820
 and a pull

00:38:23.820 --> 00:38:24.239
 from the

00:38:24.239 --> 00:38:24.719
 gospel

00:38:25.539 --> 00:38:26.079
 courage

00:38:26.079 --> 00:38:26.679
 to look

00:38:26.679 --> 00:38:26.900
 at the

00:38:26.900 --> 00:38:27.619
 blindfolds

00:38:27.619 --> 00:38:28.039
 by which

00:38:28.039 --> 00:38:28.500
 we live

00:38:28.500 --> 00:38:29.259
 and call

00:38:29.259 --> 00:38:29.559
 out to

00:38:29.559 --> 00:38:29.779
 God

00:38:29.779 --> 00:38:30.119
 and say

00:38:30.119 --> 00:38:30.420
 God

00:38:30.420 --> 00:38:30.719
 I know

00:38:30.719 --> 00:38:31.000
 there's

00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:31.639
 blindfolds

00:38:31.639 --> 00:38:31.840
 in this

00:38:31.840 --> 00:38:31.960
 way

00:38:34.360 --> 00:38:34.860
 taken the

00:38:34.860 --> 00:38:35.559
 big blindfold

00:38:35.559 --> 00:38:36.039
 away

00:38:36.039 --> 00:38:36.420
 in terms

00:38:36.420 --> 00:38:36.679
 of my

00:38:39.659 --> 00:38:39.960
 at the

00:38:39.960 --> 00:38:40.380
 world

00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:44.859
 freedom

00:38:44.859 --> 00:38:45.359
 of having

00:38:45.359 --> 00:38:45.639
 an

00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:46.359
 unveiled

00:38:46.359 --> 00:38:47.259
 look

00:38:47.259 --> 00:38:49.019
 that's

00:38:49.019 --> 00:38:49.259
 what it

00:38:49.259 --> 00:38:49.599
 says

00:38:49.599 --> 00:38:49.900
 here

00:38:49.900 --> 00:38:50.400
 can you

00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:50.599
 say

00:38:50.599 --> 00:38:51.119
 verse 18

00:38:51.119 --> 00:38:51.460
 with me

00:38:51.460 --> 00:38:51.859
 again

00:38:51.859 --> 00:38:52.739
 and we

00:38:52.739 --> 00:38:53.259
 all

00:38:53.259 --> 00:38:54.420
 with unveiled

00:38:54.420 --> 00:38:55.039
 face

00:38:55.039 --> 00:38:56.139
 beholding

00:38:56.139 --> 00:38:56.719
 the glory

00:38:56.719 --> 00:38:57.159
 of the

00:38:57.159 --> 00:38:57.480
 Lord

00:38:57.480 --> 00:38:58.420
 are being

00:38:58.420 --> 00:38:59.259
 transformed

00:38:59.259 --> 00:38:59.980
 into the

00:38:59.980 --> 00:39:00.339
 same

00:39:00.339 --> 00:39:00.839
 image

00:39:00.839 --> 00:39:01.539
 from one

00:39:01.539 --> 00:39:01.980
 degree

00:39:01.980 --> 00:39:02.599
 of glory

00:39:02.599 --> 00:39:03.279
 to another

00:39:03.279 --> 00:39:04.119
 for this

00:39:04.119 --> 00:39:04.799
 comes from

00:39:04.799 --> 00:39:05.279
 the Lord

00:39:05.279 --> 00:39:06.000
 who is the

00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:06.380
 spirit

00:39:06.380 --> 00:39:07.119
 and you

00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:07.739
 might notice

00:39:07.739 --> 00:39:08.440
 that there's

00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:09.159
 different words

00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:09.879
 for beholding

00:39:09.879 --> 00:39:10.119
 in your

00:39:10.119 --> 00:39:10.440
 different

00:39:10.440 --> 00:39:11.039
 translations

00:39:11.039 --> 00:39:11.579
 that's

00:39:11.579 --> 00:39:11.879
 because

00:39:11.879 --> 00:39:12.399
 in the

00:39:12.399 --> 00:39:12.719
 original

00:39:12.719 --> 00:39:13.239
 language

00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:13.739
 there's

00:39:13.739 --> 00:39:13.920
 this

00:39:13.920 --> 00:39:14.420
 wonderful

00:39:14.420 --> 00:39:15.199
 ambiguity

00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:15.940
 around the

00:39:15.940 --> 00:39:16.139
 word

00:39:16.139 --> 00:39:16.440
 that's

00:39:16.440 --> 00:39:16.619
 used

00:39:16.619 --> 00:39:16.920
 and in

00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:17.199
 English

00:39:17.199 --> 00:39:17.480
 you can

00:39:17.480 --> 00:39:17.819
 only use

00:39:17.819 --> 00:39:18.239
 either the

00:39:18.239 --> 00:39:18.399
 word

00:39:18.399 --> 00:39:19.099
 beholding

00:39:19.099 --> 00:39:19.379
 or the

00:39:19.379 --> 00:39:19.559
 word

00:39:19.559 --> 00:39:20.099
 reflecting

00:39:20.099 --> 00:39:20.839
 but in

00:39:20.839 --> 00:39:21.339
 the original

00:39:21.339 --> 00:39:22.019
 language

00:39:22.019 --> 00:39:22.920
 the same

00:39:22.920 --> 00:39:23.259
 word

00:39:23.259 --> 00:39:23.719
 can mean

00:39:23.719 --> 00:39:24.139
 both

00:39:24.139 --> 00:39:24.779
 and it's

00:39:24.779 --> 00:39:25.219
 such a

00:39:25.219 --> 00:39:25.859
 powerful

00:39:25.859 --> 00:39:27.379
 grace

00:39:27.379 --> 00:39:27.719
 filled

00:39:27.719 --> 00:39:28.099
 image

00:39:28.099 --> 00:39:28.879
 because both

00:39:28.879 --> 00:39:29.500
 images are

00:39:29.500 --> 00:39:29.980
 completely

00:39:29.980 --> 00:39:30.440
 and utterly

00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:30.859
 true

00:39:30.859 --> 00:39:31.799
 there is

00:39:31.799 --> 00:39:32.279
 nothing

00:39:32.279 --> 00:39:33.059
 in me

00:39:33.059 --> 00:39:33.299
 that

00:39:33.299 --> 00:39:34.000
 shines

00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:37.899
 I am

00:39:37.899 --> 00:39:38.460
 not a

00:39:38.460 --> 00:39:38.859
 source

00:39:38.860 --> 00:39:39.599
 of light

00:39:39.599 --> 00:39:41.300
 but I

00:39:41.300 --> 00:39:41.740
 am made

00:39:41.740 --> 00:39:42.019
 in the

00:39:42.019 --> 00:39:42.320
 image

00:39:42.320 --> 00:39:42.980
 of God

00:39:42.980 --> 00:39:44.400
 and by

00:39:44.400 --> 00:39:44.880
 grace

00:39:44.880 --> 00:39:45.240
 as I

00:39:45.240 --> 00:39:45.760
 am gripped

00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:46.120
 by the

00:39:46.120 --> 00:39:46.559
 gospel

00:39:46.559 --> 00:39:47.140
 the glory

00:39:47.140 --> 00:39:47.800
 of God

00:39:47.800 --> 00:39:49.559
 that some

00:39:49.559 --> 00:39:50.300
 of that

00:39:50.300 --> 00:39:51.079
 beauty

00:39:51.079 --> 00:39:52.680
 of holiness

00:39:52.680 --> 00:39:53.500
 and salvation

00:39:53.500 --> 00:39:54.200
 and grace

00:39:54.200 --> 00:39:55.440
 reflects off

00:39:55.440 --> 00:39:55.860
 of me

00:39:55.860 --> 00:39:58.680
 and reflects

00:39:58.680 --> 00:39:59.320
 off of you

00:39:59.320 --> 00:40:00.660
 and at the

00:40:00.660 --> 00:40:01.300
 same time

00:40:01.300 --> 00:40:02.079
 it's also

00:40:02.079 --> 00:40:03.039
 that I'm

00:40:03.039 --> 00:40:03.599
 gripped

00:40:03.599 --> 00:40:04.440
 that I

00:40:04.440 --> 00:40:05.519
 not looking

00:40:05.519 --> 00:40:06.059
 to rules

00:40:06.059 --> 00:40:06.440
 I'm not

00:40:06.440 --> 00:40:06.900
 looking to

00:40:06.900 --> 00:40:07.320
 rituals

00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:07.760
 as the

00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:08.400
 primary

00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:09.000
 source

00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:09.380
 of my

00:40:09.380 --> 00:40:09.940
 identity

00:40:09.940 --> 00:40:11.120
 and my

00:40:11.120 --> 00:40:11.540
 hope

00:40:11.540 --> 00:40:11.860
 and my

00:40:11.860 --> 00:40:12.440
 comfort

00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:13.320
 but my

00:40:13.320 --> 00:40:13.720
 hope

00:40:13.720 --> 00:40:14.040
 and my

00:40:14.040 --> 00:40:14.460
 comfort

00:40:14.460 --> 00:40:14.740
 my

00:40:14.740 --> 00:40:15.440
 identity

00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:16.180
 is gripped

00:40:16.180 --> 00:40:16.680
 by the

00:40:16.680 --> 00:40:17.200
 glory

00:40:17.200 --> 00:40:18.280
 how do they

00:40:18.280 --> 00:40:18.580
 put it

00:40:18.580 --> 00:40:18.880
 here

00:40:18.880 --> 00:40:19.980
 the glory

00:40:19.980 --> 00:40:20.520
 of the Lord

00:40:20.520 --> 00:40:21.100
 what is the

00:40:21.100 --> 00:40:21.740
 glory of the

00:40:21.740 --> 00:40:21.980
 Lord

00:40:21.980 --> 00:40:23.000
 it's not a

00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:23.380
 mystical

00:40:23.380 --> 00:40:24.400
 experience

00:40:24.400 --> 00:40:26.680
 read John's

00:40:26.680 --> 00:40:27.200
 gospel

00:40:27.200 --> 00:40:29.000
 this is very

00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:29.920
 reminiscent of

00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:30.860
 John's gospel

00:40:30.860 --> 00:40:31.620
 which is filled

00:40:31.620 --> 00:40:32.360
 with the images

00:40:32.360 --> 00:40:33.020
 of glory

00:40:33.019 --> 00:40:34.460
 and if you

00:40:34.460 --> 00:40:34.940
 read and you

00:40:34.940 --> 00:40:35.400
 go right to

00:40:35.400 --> 00:40:35.900
 the end

00:40:35.900 --> 00:40:36.940
 the glory

00:40:36.940 --> 00:40:37.599
 of God

00:40:37.599 --> 00:40:38.699
 is supremely

00:40:38.699 --> 00:40:39.639
 made evident

00:40:39.639 --> 00:40:40.259
 to human

00:40:40.259 --> 00:40:40.840
 beings

00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:42.320
 when we see

00:40:42.320 --> 00:40:43.300
 Jesus dying

00:40:43.300 --> 00:40:43.900
 upon the

00:40:43.900 --> 00:40:44.300
 cross

00:40:44.300 --> 00:40:48.960
 the Lamb

00:40:48.960 --> 00:40:49.500
 of God

00:40:49.500 --> 00:40:50.119
 who takes

00:40:50.119 --> 00:40:50.719
 away the

00:40:50.719 --> 00:40:51.099
 sin of the

00:40:51.099 --> 00:40:51.420
 world

00:40:51.420 --> 00:40:52.880
 almost at the

00:40:52.880 --> 00:40:53.280
 beginning of

00:40:53.280 --> 00:40:54.079
 John's gospel

00:40:54.079 --> 00:40:54.539
 John the

00:40:54.539 --> 00:40:55.400
 Baptist says

00:40:55.400 --> 00:40:56.159
 to his

00:40:56.159 --> 00:40:56.659
 disciples

00:40:56.659 --> 00:40:57.639
 as he sees

00:40:57.639 --> 00:40:58.480
 Jesus walking

00:40:58.480 --> 00:40:59.719
 behold the Lamb

00:40:59.719 --> 00:41:00.239
 of God

00:41:00.239 --> 00:41:01.480
 who takes away

00:41:01.480 --> 00:41:02.099
 the sin of the

00:41:02.099 --> 00:41:02.400
 world

00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:04.599
 the lesson

00:41:04.599 --> 00:41:05.199
 of Genesis

00:41:05.199 --> 00:41:06.059
 and of Exodus

00:41:06.059 --> 00:41:06.940
 and Leviticus

00:41:06.940 --> 00:41:07.699
 and Numbers

00:41:07.699 --> 00:41:08.639
 and Deuteronomy

00:41:08.639 --> 00:41:09.759
 of the sacrifice

00:41:09.759 --> 00:41:10.599
 of the paschal

00:41:10.599 --> 00:41:11.159
 sacrifice

00:41:11.159 --> 00:41:11.880
 of the peace

00:41:11.880 --> 00:41:12.579
 sacrifices

00:41:12.579 --> 00:41:13.380
 the offerings

00:41:13.380 --> 00:41:14.579
 all of these

00:41:14.579 --> 00:41:15.539
 types of things

00:41:15.539 --> 00:41:16.480
 all of the

00:41:16.480 --> 00:41:17.460
 different aspects

00:41:17.460 --> 00:41:18.119
 and images

00:41:18.119 --> 00:41:18.639
 of what it

00:41:18.639 --> 00:41:19.199
 means to be

00:41:19.199 --> 00:41:19.559
 human

00:41:19.559 --> 00:41:19.900
 and the

00:41:19.900 --> 00:41:20.480
 sacrifices

00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:20.799
 that are

00:41:20.799 --> 00:41:21.039
 made

00:41:21.039 --> 00:41:21.279
 and the

00:41:21.279 --> 00:41:21.719
 rituals

00:41:21.719 --> 00:41:22.500
 and the

00:41:22.500 --> 00:41:23.059
 sacrifices

00:41:23.059 --> 00:41:23.339
 that are

00:41:23.339 --> 00:41:23.539
 made

00:41:23.539 --> 00:41:23.799
 to be

00:41:23.799 --> 00:41:24.000
 right

00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:24.519
 with God

00:41:24.519 --> 00:41:25.440
 and John

00:41:25.440 --> 00:41:25.980
 the Baptist

00:41:25.980 --> 00:41:26.420
 under

00:41:26.420 --> 00:41:26.860
 prophetic

00:41:26.860 --> 00:41:27.579
 inspiration

00:41:27.579 --> 00:41:28.480
 summarizes

00:41:28.480 --> 00:41:29.039
 them all up

00:41:29.039 --> 00:41:29.239
 when he

00:41:29.239 --> 00:41:29.619
 looks at

00:41:29.619 --> 00:41:29.920
 Jesus

00:41:29.920 --> 00:41:30.400
 and says

00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:31.219
 behold the

00:41:31.219 --> 00:41:31.679
 Lamb of

00:41:31.679 --> 00:41:32.039
 God

00:41:32.039 --> 00:41:32.599
 who takes

00:41:32.599 --> 00:41:33.000
 away

00:41:33.000 --> 00:41:33.460
 the sin

00:41:33.460 --> 00:41:33.719
 of the

00:41:33.719 --> 00:41:33.960
 world

00:41:33.960 --> 00:41:36.940
 and then

00:41:36.940 --> 00:41:37.380
 John

00:41:37.380 --> 00:41:38.820
 the Apostle

00:41:38.820 --> 00:41:39.199
 who is

00:41:39.199 --> 00:41:39.659
 the writer

00:41:39.659 --> 00:41:40.000
 of the

00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:40.400
 Gospel

00:41:40.400 --> 00:41:40.719
 who has

00:41:40.719 --> 00:41:41.159
 listened to

00:41:41.159 --> 00:41:41.420
 Jesus

00:41:41.420 --> 00:41:42.099
 is teaching

00:41:42.099 --> 00:41:43.019
 and understands

00:41:43.019 --> 00:41:43.860
 that the glory

00:41:43.860 --> 00:41:44.340
 of God

00:41:44.340 --> 00:41:44.820
 is to be

00:41:44.820 --> 00:41:45.259
 revealed

00:41:45.259 --> 00:41:46.779
 and the glory

00:41:46.779 --> 00:41:47.279
 of God

00:41:47.279 --> 00:41:47.820
 is revealed

00:41:47.820 --> 00:41:48.840
 most supremely

00:41:48.840 --> 00:41:49.539
 as Jesus

00:41:49.539 --> 00:41:51.440
 dies upon

00:41:51.440 --> 00:41:52.259
 the cross

00:41:52.259 --> 00:41:55.880
 not for

00:41:55.880 --> 00:41:56.500
 his own

00:41:56.500 --> 00:41:56.960
 sins

00:41:56.960 --> 00:41:57.599
 but for you

00:41:57.599 --> 00:41:57.980
 and me

00:41:57.980 --> 00:41:59.199
 not

00:41:59.199 --> 00:41:59.559
 not because

00:41:59.559 --> 00:41:59.800
 he's

00:41:59.800 --> 00:42:00.340
 surprised

00:42:00.340 --> 00:42:00.860
 by human

00:42:00.860 --> 00:42:01.219
 beings

00:42:01.219 --> 00:42:01.820
 but because

00:42:01.820 --> 00:42:02.360
 he knows

00:42:02.360 --> 00:42:03.179
 every human

00:42:03.179 --> 00:42:03.519
 being

00:42:03.519 --> 00:42:03.980
 deeply

00:42:03.980 --> 00:42:04.900
 that no

00:42:04.900 --> 00:42:05.300
 rule

00:42:05.300 --> 00:42:05.960
 or ritual

00:42:05.960 --> 00:42:06.900
 will ever

00:42:06.900 --> 00:42:07.320
 make us

00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:07.719
 right with

00:42:07.719 --> 00:42:07.920
 him

00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:08.199
 it will

00:42:08.199 --> 00:42:08.780
 only lead

00:42:08.780 --> 00:42:09.599
 to condemnation

00:42:09.599 --> 00:42:10.039
 and death

00:42:10.039 --> 00:42:10.639
 and what

00:42:10.639 --> 00:42:11.440
 we need

00:42:11.440 --> 00:42:12.480
 is real

00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:13.480
 powerful

00:42:13.480 --> 00:42:14.579
 historical

00:42:14.579 --> 00:42:15.699
 actual

00:42:15.699 --> 00:42:16.440
 mercy

00:42:16.440 --> 00:42:17.219
 and grace

00:42:17.219 --> 00:42:18.119
 that can

00:42:18.119 --> 00:42:19.139
 transform us

00:42:19.139 --> 00:42:20.099
 and that we

00:42:20.099 --> 00:42:20.480
 can be

00:42:20.480 --> 00:42:21.320
 restored to

00:42:21.320 --> 00:42:21.820
 God's

00:42:21.820 --> 00:42:22.280
 intention

00:42:22.280 --> 00:42:22.719
 to make

00:42:22.719 --> 00:42:23.059
 a new

00:42:23.059 --> 00:42:23.420
 heaven

00:42:23.420 --> 00:42:24.039
 and a new

00:42:24.039 --> 00:42:24.440
 earth

00:42:24.440 --> 00:42:25.340
 where his

00:42:25.340 --> 00:42:25.900
 creatures

00:42:25.900 --> 00:42:26.599
 will live

00:42:26.599 --> 00:42:27.680
 fully

00:42:27.680 --> 00:42:28.760
 and restoredly

00:42:28.760 --> 00:42:29.400
 bearing the

00:42:29.400 --> 00:42:29.900
 image of

00:42:29.900 --> 00:42:30.260
 God

00:42:30.260 --> 00:42:31.019
 and God

00:42:31.019 --> 00:42:31.380
 in his

00:42:31.380 --> 00:42:31.740
 mercy

00:42:31.740 --> 00:42:32.360
 desires

00:42:32.360 --> 00:42:32.680
 that as

00:42:32.680 --> 00:42:33.139
 we walk

00:42:33.139 --> 00:42:33.539
 with him

00:42:33.539 --> 00:42:33.960
 we will

00:42:33.960 --> 00:42:34.599
 be changed

00:42:34.599 --> 00:42:35.260
 from glory

00:42:35.260 --> 00:42:35.900
 to glory

00:42:35.900 --> 00:42:36.740
 and it

00:42:36.740 --> 00:42:37.099
 begins

00:42:37.099 --> 00:42:37.740
 with grace

00:42:37.740 --> 00:42:38.400
 it continues

00:42:38.400 --> 00:42:39.039
 with grace

00:42:39.039 --> 00:42:39.360
 and it

00:42:39.360 --> 00:42:39.619
 ends

00:42:39.619 --> 00:42:40.200
 with grace

00:42:40.200 --> 00:42:40.860
 and brothers

00:42:40.860 --> 00:42:41.500
 and sisters

00:42:41.500 --> 00:42:42.420
 who have been

00:42:42.420 --> 00:42:43.000
 gripped by the

00:42:43.000 --> 00:42:43.380
 gospel

00:42:43.380 --> 00:42:44.079
 that is your

00:42:44.079 --> 00:42:44.539
 destiny

00:42:44.539 --> 00:42:45.420
 that is your

00:42:45.420 --> 00:42:45.820
 identity

00:42:45.820 --> 00:42:46.740
 and that is

00:42:46.740 --> 00:42:47.039
 what the

00:42:47.039 --> 00:42:47.700
 Bible says

00:42:47.700 --> 00:42:48.639
 don't believe

00:42:48.639 --> 00:42:48.980
 me

00:42:48.980 --> 00:42:49.700
 believe

00:42:49.700 --> 00:42:50.539
 the Bible

00:42:50.539 --> 00:42:52.800
 please

00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:53.200
 stand

00:42:53.199 --> 00:42:58.799

00:42:58.799 --> 00:42:59.319
 this verse

00:42:59.319 --> 00:42:59.699
 with me

00:42:59.699 --> 00:43:00.159
 one more

00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:00.659
 time

00:43:00.659 --> 00:43:02.039
 and then

00:43:02.039 --> 00:43:02.460
 I'll pray

00:43:02.460 --> 00:43:04.059
 and we

00:43:04.059 --> 00:43:04.799
 all with

00:43:04.799 --> 00:43:05.419
 unveiled

00:43:05.419 --> 00:43:06.039
 face

00:43:06.039 --> 00:43:07.019
 beholding

00:43:07.019 --> 00:43:07.579
 the glory

00:43:07.579 --> 00:43:08.000
 of the

00:43:08.000 --> 00:43:08.319
 Lord

00:43:09.319 --> 00:43:10.139
 transformed

00:43:10.139 --> 00:43:10.919
 into the

00:43:10.919 --> 00:43:11.259
 same

00:43:11.259 --> 00:43:11.799
 image

00:43:11.799 --> 00:43:12.599
 from one

00:43:12.599 --> 00:43:13.000
 degree

00:43:13.000 --> 00:43:13.639
 of glory

00:43:13.639 --> 00:43:14.339
 to another

00:43:14.339 --> 00:43:15.419
 for this

00:43:15.419 --> 00:43:16.119
 comes from

00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:16.619
 the Lord

00:43:16.619 --> 00:43:17.139
 who is

00:43:17.139 --> 00:43:17.779
 the Spirit

00:43:17.779 --> 00:43:18.960
 Father we

00:43:18.960 --> 00:43:19.500

00:43:19.500 --> 00:43:19.960
 you would

00:43:19.960 --> 00:43:20.419
 if there's

00:43:20.419 --> 00:43:21.059
 anyone here

00:43:21.059 --> 00:43:21.399
 who has

00:43:21.399 --> 00:43:22.139
 never given

00:43:22.139 --> 00:43:22.599
 their life

00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:23.099
 to Jesus

00:43:23.099 --> 00:43:24.440
 that you

00:43:24.440 --> 00:43:24.860
 would now

00:43:24.860 --> 00:43:25.400
 meet with

00:43:25.400 --> 00:43:25.639
 them

00:43:25.639 --> 00:43:26.119
 in a very

00:43:26.119 --> 00:43:26.940
 powerful way

00:43:26.940 --> 00:43:27.420
 and help

00:43:27.420 --> 00:43:27.779
 them to

00:43:27.779 --> 00:43:28.299
 call out

00:43:28.299 --> 00:43:29.079
 to Jesus

00:43:29.079 --> 00:43:29.860
 for mercy

00:43:29.860 --> 00:43:30.339
 and Father

00:43:32.920 --> 00:43:33.940
 always receive

00:43:33.940 --> 00:43:34.099
 it

00:43:34.099 --> 00:43:34.380
 that you

00:43:34.380 --> 00:43:34.779
 do not

00:43:34.779 --> 00:43:35.099
 weigh

00:43:35.099 --> 00:43:35.799
 their merits

00:43:35.799 --> 00:43:36.219
 or our

00:43:36.219 --> 00:43:36.500
 merits

00:43:36.500 --> 00:43:36.900
 but you

00:43:36.900 --> 00:43:37.319
 pardon

00:43:37.319 --> 00:43:37.519
 their

00:43:37.519 --> 00:43:37.940
 offenses

00:43:37.940 --> 00:43:39.000
 we thank

00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:39.319
 you that

00:43:39.319 --> 00:43:39.699
 Jesus

00:43:39.699 --> 00:43:40.239
 is that

00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:40.779
 power

00:43:40.779 --> 00:43:41.000

00:43:41.000 --> 00:43:41.179
 comes

00:43:41.179 --> 00:43:44.559
 from you

00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:45.380

 us right

 Jesus

00:43:49.759 --> 00:43:50.139
 who are

00:43:50.139 --> 00:43:50.599
 gripped

00:43:50.599 --> 00:43:51.019
 by the

00:43:51.019 --> 00:43:51.460
 gospel

00:43:51.460 --> 00:43:52.199
 who by

 upon

00:43:54.260 --> 00:43:54.740
 Father

00:43:54.740 --> 00:43:55.340
 the glory

00:43:55.340 --> 00:43:55.720
 of what

00:43:55.720 --> 00:43:56.000
 you have

00:43:56.000 --> 00:43:56.220
 done

00:43:56.220 --> 00:43:56.800
 for us

00:43:56.800 --> 00:43:57.460
 in the

00:43:57.460 --> 00:43:57.840
 person

00:43:57.840 --> 00:43:58.340
 of Jesus

00:43:58.340 --> 00:43:58.760
 and his

00:43:58.760 --> 00:43:59.619
 mighty work

00:43:59.619 --> 00:44:00.079
 upon the

00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:00.519
 cross

00:44:00.519 --> 00:44:01.179
 and descent

00:44:01.179 --> 00:44:01.880
 into death

00:44:01.880 --> 00:44:02.420
 and hell

00:44:02.420 --> 00:44:03.539
 and sin

00:44:03.539 --> 00:44:04.059
 and burying

00:44:04.059 --> 00:44:04.599
 our sin

00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:05.119
 and rising

00:44:05.119 --> 00:44:05.800
 triumphant

00:44:05.800 --> 00:44:06.639
 over it all

00:44:06.639 --> 00:44:07.159
 in his mighty

00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:07.720
 resurrection

00:44:07.720 --> 00:44:08.780
 who will come

00:44:08.780 --> 00:44:09.599
 again in glory

00:44:09.599 --> 00:44:10.220
 who will bring

00:44:10.220 --> 00:44:10.980
 in not just

00:44:10.980 --> 00:44:11.579
 a new heaven

00:44:11.579 --> 00:44:12.340
 but a new

00:44:12.340 --> 00:44:12.659
 heaven

00:44:12.659 --> 00:44:13.099

 earth

00:44:13.440 --> 00:44:14.099
 Father

00:44:14.099 --> 00:44:14.740
 where we

00:44:14.740 --> 00:44:15.720
 are once

00:44:15.720 --> 00:44:16.179
 again

00:44:16.179 --> 00:44:16.559
 Father

00:44:16.559 --> 00:44:17.559
 the caretakers

00:44:17.559 --> 00:44:18.059
 for this

00:44:18.059 --> 00:44:18.619
 your created

00:44:18.619 --> 00:44:18.940
 order

00:44:18.940 --> 00:44:19.500
 Father

00:44:19.500 --> 00:44:20.320
 Father

00:44:20.320 --> 00:44:21.159
 please

00:44:21.159 --> 00:44:21.519
 in your

00:44:21.519 --> 00:44:21.880
 mercy

00:44:21.880 --> 00:44:22.440
 make us

00:44:22.440 --> 00:44:22.980
 disciples

00:44:22.980 --> 00:44:23.579
 of Jesus

00:44:23.579 --> 00:44:23.940
 who are

00:44:23.940 --> 00:44:24.240
 gripped

00:44:24.240 --> 00:44:24.659
 by the

00:44:24.659 --> 00:44:25.139
 gospel

00:44:25.139 --> 00:44:26.460
 and as

00:44:26.460 --> 00:44:26.659
 we're

00:44:26.659 --> 00:44:26.900
 gripped

00:44:26.900 --> 00:44:27.260
 by the

00:44:27.260 --> 00:44:27.679
 gospel

00:44:27.679 --> 00:44:28.139
 that we

00:44:28.139 --> 00:44:28.639
 are being

00:44:28.639 --> 00:44:29.900
 convicted

00:44:29.900 --> 00:44:30.280
 of our

00:44:30.280 --> 00:44:30.960
 blindfolds

00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:31.420
 and tearing

00:44:31.420 --> 00:44:32.019
 them off

00:44:32.019 --> 00:44:32.740
 as we

00:44:32.740 --> 00:44:33.179
 live for

00:44:33.179 --> 00:44:33.980
 your glory

00:44:33.980 --> 00:44:34.900
 to boast

00:44:34.900 --> 00:44:35.320
 in you

00:44:35.320 --> 00:44:36.039
 and not

00:44:36.039 --> 00:44:36.460
 to boast

00:44:36.460 --> 00:44:37.000
 in ourselves

00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:37.400
 and this

00:44:37.400 --> 00:44:37.880
 we ask

00:44:37.880 --> 00:44:38.360
 in Jesus

00:44:38.360 --> 00:44:38.900
 name

00:44:38.900 --> 00:44:39.780
 Amen
