WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.200
 Amen. You may be seated. Children in the room, you are excused to your King's Kids class.

00:00:06.379 --> 00:00:10.820
! And if you would open up your Bibles to John chapter 3, we're going to be looking at John

00:00:10.820 --> 00:00:22.080
! Chapter 3, verses 22 through 36. You know, when we brought Pastor Zach Melgren onto the

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:29.839
 pastoral staff a few years ago, what became quickly evident was among a number of different

00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:37.439
 strengths of his was a pronounced administrative gift. And so 18 months ago, I handed the reins.

00:00:38.060 --> 00:00:46.679
 He's denying it. So 18 months ago, I handed the reins of our staff meeting over to Zach,

00:00:46.780 --> 00:00:51.939
 and he has been rocking it ever since. And so he is well organized. He leads us so well.

00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:58.500
 But what that meant is I had to come to terms with who I was and who I was not. I was going to either

00:00:58.500 --> 00:01:07.960
 resist him or I was going to rejoice in him. Do you know who you are? And do you know who you're not?

00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:14.219
 There are these moments in our lives when we realize that someone else is better qualified

00:01:14.219 --> 00:01:21.960
 for the job that we have. It's not always easy handing over the reins to someone else. And the

00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:27.639
 reason why is because you can feel like someone's moving in on your turf, or maybe you feel threatened

00:01:27.639 --> 00:01:33.699
 by someone who's more qualified. You know why that can be so hard? It's because you've got to admit

00:01:33.699 --> 00:01:39.479
 that someone is better qualified than you. You're either going to resist it or you're going to rejoice

00:01:39.479 --> 00:01:47.799
 in it. But to resist is to live in denial, isn't it? But to rejoice means you have to relinquish control.

00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:57.579
 This morning in John 3, 22-36, Jesus and his disciples, well, they show up and start baptizing at the same

00:01:57.579 --> 00:02:08.439
 place where John the Baptist, JTB, and his disciples are baptizing. John the Baptist's disciples respond

00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:17.180
 with some resistance. Who is this guy across the river? But John the Baptist rejoices because he knows

00:02:17.180 --> 00:02:26.920
 who just came on the scene. In fact, this passage has a great verse in it that summarizes everything.

00:02:27.099 --> 00:02:32.020
 It's verse 30 where John the Baptist says, he must increase but I must decrease.

00:02:33.420 --> 00:02:36.560
 He's saying that Jesus is greater than me.

00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:39.800
 When you become a Christian,

00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:43.400
 Jesus comes onto the scene of your life.

00:02:44.420 --> 00:02:49.500
 And oftentimes, he'll come bringing peace. Other times, he'll come as a great disruptor.

00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:51.340
 But when he comes,

00:02:51.620 --> 00:02:55.219
 he's not coming for just part of your life. He's coming for all of your life.

00:02:56.220 --> 00:02:59.080
 And then you will be faced with the daily decision of

00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:00.620
 unbelief or faith.

00:03:02.020 --> 00:03:03.920
 The unbelief of resisting him

00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:07.280
 or faith that rejoices in him.

00:03:07.359 --> 00:03:11.339
 And so, there are two moves to this passage that we're about to read.

00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:13.339
 In verses 22 through 26,

00:03:13.819 --> 00:03:15.399
 Jesus comes on the scene.

00:03:15.699 --> 00:03:16.879
 He's met with some resistance.

00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:19.459
 And then verses 27 through 36,

00:03:20.219 --> 00:03:22.239
 John the Baptist rejoices

00:03:22.239 --> 00:03:26.179
 because he knows that Jesus is greater than him.

00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:27.779
 He must increase

00:03:27.779 --> 00:03:29.119
 but I must decrease.

00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:30.300
 So, let me read

00:03:30.300 --> 00:03:33.800
 John chapter 3, 22 through 36.

00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:36.280
 After this,

00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.020
 Jesus and his disciples

00:03:38.020 --> 00:03:40.140
 went into the Judean countryside

00:03:40.140 --> 00:03:42.520
 and he remained there with them

00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:43.539
 and was baptizing.

00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:46.319
 John also was baptizing at Anon

00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:47.240
 near Salim

00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:49.040
 because water was plentiful there

00:03:49.040 --> 00:03:50.860
 and people were coming and being baptized

00:03:50.860 --> 00:03:53.560
 for John had not yet been put in prison.

00:03:54.580 --> 00:03:55.840
 Now, a discussion arose

00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:57.340
 between some of John's disciples

00:03:57.340 --> 00:03:59.159
 and a Jew over purification.

00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:01.360
 And they came to John

00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:02.360
 and said to him,

00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:02.939
 Rabbi,

00:04:03.500 --> 00:04:05.740
 he who is with you across the Jordan

00:04:05.740 --> 00:04:07.240
 to whom you bore witness,

00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:07.699
 look!

00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:09.060
 He's baptizing!

00:04:09.539 --> 00:04:10.580
 And all are going to him!

00:04:11.580 --> 00:04:12.560
 John answered,

00:04:13.480 --> 00:04:15.699
 a person cannot receive even one thing

00:04:15.699 --> 00:04:18.439
 unless it is given to him from heaven.

00:04:18.980 --> 00:04:21.139
 You yourselves bear me witness

00:04:21.139 --> 00:04:22.199
 that I said,

00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:23.819
 I am not the Christ

00:04:23.819 --> 00:04:25.519
 but I have been sent before him.

00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:26.839
 The one who has,

00:04:27.699 --> 00:04:29.419
 the bride is the bridegroom.

00:04:29.740 --> 00:04:30.779
 The friend of the bridegroom

00:04:30.779 --> 00:04:32.099
 who stands and hears him

00:04:32.099 --> 00:04:33.459
 rejoices greatly

00:04:33.459 --> 00:04:34.879
 at the bridegroom's voice.

00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:35.819
 Therefore,

00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:36.879
 this joy of mine

00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:38.060
 is now complete.

00:04:38.579 --> 00:04:39.560
 He must increase

00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:40.740
 but I must decrease.

00:04:41.699 --> 00:04:42.879
 He who comes from above

00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:44.099
 is above all.

00:04:44.659 --> 00:04:45.680
 He who is of the earth

00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:46.740
 belongs to the earth

00:04:46.740 --> 00:04:48.399
 and speaks in an earthly way.

00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:50.019
 He who comes from heaven

00:04:50.019 --> 00:04:50.699
 is above all.

00:04:51.019 --> 00:04:51.919
 He bears witness

00:04:51.919 --> 00:04:53.459
 to what he has seen and heard

00:04:53.459 --> 00:04:55.419
 yet no one receives his testimony.

00:04:56.039 --> 00:04:57.479
 Whoever receives his testimony

00:04:57.479 --> 00:04:58.759
 sets his seal to this

00:04:58.759 --> 00:04:59.859
 that God is true.

00:05:00.919 --> 00:05:02.219
 For he whom God has sent

00:05:02.219 --> 00:05:03.500
 utters the words of God

00:05:03.500 --> 00:05:04.859
 for he gives the spirit

00:05:04.859 --> 00:05:05.599
 without measure.

00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:07.799
 The Father loves the Son

00:05:07.799 --> 00:05:09.439
 and has given all things

00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:10.519
 into his hand.

00:05:10.919 --> 00:05:12.139
 Whoever believes in the Son

00:05:12.139 --> 00:05:12.959
 is eternal life.

00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:15.299
 Whoever does not obey the Son

00:05:15.299 --> 00:05:16.199
 shall not see life

00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:17.339
 but the wrath of God

00:05:17.339 --> 00:05:19.639
 remains on him.

00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:20.719
 May God bless the hearing

00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:21.360
 of his words.

00:05:21.500 --> 00:05:22.200
 So two scenes.

00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:23.880
 Let's look at scene one

00:05:23.880 --> 00:05:25.680
 when Jesus shows up.

00:05:27.100 --> 00:05:29.320
 In verses 22 through 24

00:05:29.320 --> 00:05:30.220
 the scene is set.

00:05:31.640 --> 00:05:32.520
 It takes place

00:05:32.520 --> 00:05:33.980
 in the Judean countryside

00:05:33.980 --> 00:05:35.500
 at a place

00:05:35.500 --> 00:05:36.440
 along the Jordan River

00:05:36.440 --> 00:05:38.700
 between the Sea of Galilee

00:05:38.700 --> 00:05:40.420
 and the Dead Sea.

00:05:40.580 --> 00:05:41.220
 It's at a place

00:05:41.220 --> 00:05:42.640
 called Anon by Selim

00:05:42.640 --> 00:05:44.220
 and this place

00:05:44.220 --> 00:05:45.160
 was known for having

00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:46.960
 a number of natural springs

00:05:46.960 --> 00:05:47.920
 and so there was

00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:48.939
 an abundance of water

00:05:48.939 --> 00:05:51.640
 ideal for baptizing.

00:05:51.819 --> 00:05:52.699
 And so in verse 22

00:05:52.699 --> 00:05:54.439
 Jesus and his disciples

00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:56.100
 arrive on the scene

00:05:56.100 --> 00:05:57.920
 and begin baptizing.

00:05:58.080 --> 00:05:58.580
 Quick note.

00:05:59.420 --> 00:06:00.400
 If you look at down

00:06:00.400 --> 00:06:02.120
 at chapter 4 verse 2

00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:03.819
 John the writer

00:06:03.819 --> 00:06:04.600
 of this gospel

00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:06.259
 wants us to know something.

00:06:06.860 --> 00:06:08.319
 Although Jesus himself

00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:09.400
 did not baptize

00:06:09.400 --> 00:06:10.580
 but only his disciples.

00:06:11.060 --> 00:06:12.180
 So what you need to know

00:06:12.180 --> 00:06:14.040
 is that Jesus himself

00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:14.980
 is not baptizing

00:06:14.980 --> 00:06:16.020
 his disciples are

00:06:16.019 --> 00:06:17.639
 and that's what's going on

00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:18.639
 here in Anon

00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:20.719
 but we're not told

00:06:20.719 --> 00:06:21.899
 much of anything else

00:06:21.899 --> 00:06:24.079
 just that they were baptizing.

00:06:25.899 --> 00:06:27.339
 Well in verse 23

00:06:27.339 --> 00:06:28.859
 things get a little more interesting.

00:06:29.979 --> 00:06:31.000
 We learn that

00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:31.799
 John the Baptist

00:06:31.799 --> 00:06:32.839
 and his disciples

00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:34.219
 were already there

00:06:34.219 --> 00:06:35.060
 baptizing.

00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:37.219
 So we have

00:06:37.219 --> 00:06:39.539
 two baptism services

00:06:39.539 --> 00:06:40.399
 going on

00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:42.099
 on both sides

00:06:42.099 --> 00:06:42.939
 of the Jordan.

00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:44.039
 Now isn't that interesting?

00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:46.660
 In verse 24

00:06:46.660 --> 00:06:48.680
 we're told by

00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:50.060
 John the gospel writer

00:06:50.060 --> 00:06:51.800
 that this took place

00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:52.780
 before John the Baptist

00:06:52.780 --> 00:06:53.939
 was put in prison.

00:06:54.080 --> 00:06:55.000
 It's a time stamp.

00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:56.160
 It's letting us know

00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:57.620
 that what is happening here

00:06:57.620 --> 00:06:58.600
 is happening early

00:06:58.600 --> 00:06:59.980
 in Jesus' ministry.

00:07:01.100 --> 00:07:02.259
 Let me ask you a question.

00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:03.200
 Have you ever been

00:07:03.200 --> 00:07:04.140
 to a battle of the bands?

00:07:05.660 --> 00:07:06.140
 No?

00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:07.920
 Yes.

00:07:09.700 --> 00:07:10.800
 Let's say that

00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:12.840
 there's this battle

00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:13.399
 of the bands

00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:14.219
 this coming summer

00:07:14.219 --> 00:07:16.459
 and it's up at the

00:07:16.459 --> 00:07:18.819
 Milwaukee Summerfest grounds.

00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:21.679
 Multiple bands

00:07:21.679 --> 00:07:22.439
 rocking out

00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:23.599
 same time

00:07:23.599 --> 00:07:24.959
 multiple stages.

00:07:25.719 --> 00:07:27.279
 The battle would come in

00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:28.399
 in terms of

00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:28.799
 how

00:07:28.799 --> 00:07:30.219
 what kind of crowd

00:07:30.219 --> 00:07:31.259
 each band

00:07:31.259 --> 00:07:31.899
 would gather

00:07:31.899 --> 00:07:32.699
 around it

00:07:32.699 --> 00:07:33.319
 and so the bigger

00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:34.120
 the crowd

00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:35.620
 that band

00:07:35.620 --> 00:07:36.639
 wins.

00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:39.879
 what we have

00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:40.360
 going on

00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:41.099
 in Anon

00:07:41.099 --> 00:07:41.539
 here

00:07:41.539 --> 00:07:42.560
 appears to be

00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:43.419
 not a battle

00:07:43.419 --> 00:07:44.159
 of the bands

00:07:44.159 --> 00:07:44.819
 but a battle

00:07:44.819 --> 00:07:45.699
 of the baptisms.

00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:48.000
 Which baptism

00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:48.519
 service

00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:49.219
 will draw

00:07:49.219 --> 00:07:50.000
 more people?

00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:51.159
 Will it be

00:07:51.159 --> 00:07:52.019
 John the Baptist

00:07:52.019 --> 00:07:52.680
 baptism

00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:53.779
 or will it be

00:07:53.779 --> 00:07:54.379
 Jesus?

00:07:54.899 --> 00:07:55.779
 The Jesus baptism

00:07:55.779 --> 00:07:57.180
 with team Jesus.

00:07:57.539 --> 00:07:58.459
 Which baptism

00:07:58.459 --> 00:07:59.279
 will draw more?

00:07:59.379 --> 00:07:59.899
 So the scene

00:07:59.899 --> 00:08:00.500
 is set.

00:08:01.180 --> 00:08:02.120
 Jesus and his

00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:02.620
 disciples

00:08:02.620 --> 00:08:04.420
 are baptizing

00:08:04.420 --> 00:08:05.600
 on the other

00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:06.300
 side of the river

00:08:06.300 --> 00:08:07.360
 of John the Baptist

00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:08.439
 and his disciples.

00:08:08.939 --> 00:08:10.199
 So there's already

00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:11.319
 some tension here

00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:11.740
 right?

00:08:12.019 --> 00:08:12.780
 But if you would

00:08:12.780 --> 00:08:13.360
 now look

00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:14.340
 at verses 25

00:08:14.340 --> 00:08:14.959
 and 26

00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:16.240
 this account

00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:16.959
 moves from

00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:17.540
 description

00:08:17.540 --> 00:08:19.019
 to dialogue.

00:08:19.420 --> 00:08:19.879
 It's kind of

00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:20.819
 slowing down.

00:08:21.740 --> 00:08:22.579
 And what we have

00:08:22.579 --> 00:08:22.920
 here

00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:24.579
 if it was

00:08:24.579 --> 00:08:25.519
 a movie scene

00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:27.199
 is the camera

00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:28.120
 now zooms

00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:28.720
 in

00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:30.000
 on a heated

00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:30.699
 discussion.

00:08:31.280 --> 00:08:31.959
 Verse 25

00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:34.179
 Now a discussion

00:08:34.179 --> 00:08:34.819
 arose between

00:08:34.819 --> 00:08:35.639
 some of John's

00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:36.120
 disciples

00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:37.139
 and a Jew

00:08:37.139 --> 00:08:38.120
 over purification.

00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:39.759
 In the original

00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:40.600
 language that word

00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:41.079
 discussion

00:08:41.079 --> 00:08:42.019
 is actually

00:08:42.019 --> 00:08:43.399
 a dispute

00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:44.179
 a heated

00:08:44.179 --> 00:08:44.860
 discussion.

00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:46.139
 So we have this

00:08:46.139 --> 00:08:47.059
 heated discussion

00:08:47.059 --> 00:08:48.019
 going on between

00:08:48.019 --> 00:08:49.199
 John the Baptist

00:08:49.199 --> 00:08:49.919
 disciples

00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:50.799
 and a particular

00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:51.259
 Jew.

00:08:52.220 --> 00:08:52.759
 Now we're not

00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:54.079
 told what exactly

00:08:54.079 --> 00:08:54.539
 they're saying

00:08:54.539 --> 00:08:55.299
 other than it's

00:08:55.299 --> 00:08:57.079
 over purification.

00:08:57.600 --> 00:08:58.340
 How is one

00:08:58.340 --> 00:08:58.980
 made pure

00:08:58.980 --> 00:09:00.399
 in God's

00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:01.179
 sight?

00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:02.500
 And given

00:09:02.500 --> 00:09:02.860
 that this

00:09:02.860 --> 00:09:03.259
 was a

00:09:03.259 --> 00:09:03.720
 heated

00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:05.340
 discussion

00:09:05.340 --> 00:09:05.879
 I'm guessing

00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:06.340
 that this

00:09:06.340 --> 00:09:06.540
 Jew

00:09:06.540 --> 00:09:06.920
 is making

00:09:06.920 --> 00:09:07.460
 some kind

00:09:07.460 --> 00:09:07.820
 of case

00:09:07.820 --> 00:09:08.519
 I'm guessing

00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:09.720
 that this

00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:10.560
 Jew

00:09:10.560 --> 00:09:10.860
 is making

00:09:10.860 --> 00:09:11.340
 some kind

00:09:11.340 --> 00:09:11.740
 of case

00:09:11.740 --> 00:09:13.240
 for purification

00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:13.920
 according to

00:09:13.920 --> 00:09:14.240
 the law

00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:14.840
 of Moses.

00:09:15.660 --> 00:09:16.480
 But what we

00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:17.080
 have here

00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:18.259
 is more

00:09:18.259 --> 00:09:18.660
 tension.

00:09:19.920 --> 00:09:20.620
 In verse 25

00:09:20.620 --> 00:09:21.480
 there's already

00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:22.400
 this kind

00:09:22.400 --> 00:09:22.540
 of

00:09:22.540 --> 00:09:23.800
 more of this

00:09:23.800 --> 00:09:24.560
 tense

00:09:24.560 --> 00:09:25.360
 kind of

00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:26.080
 situation

00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:27.139
 happening at

00:09:27.139 --> 00:09:28.019
 the baptismal

00:09:28.019 --> 00:09:28.360
 waters

00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:29.139
 of Anon.

00:09:29.139 --> 00:09:31.279
 And then

00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:32.199
 in verse 26

00:09:32.199 --> 00:09:33.799
 it's a

00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:34.819
 rather abrupt

00:09:34.819 --> 00:09:35.360
 move.

00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:36.220
 The disciples

00:09:36.220 --> 00:09:36.799
 of John the

00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:37.120
 Baptist

00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:38.019
 move from

00:09:38.019 --> 00:09:38.919
 this heated

00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:39.439
 dispute

00:09:39.439 --> 00:09:40.279
 now to

00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:40.819
 taking issue

00:09:40.819 --> 00:09:41.340
 with Jesus.

00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:43.019
 And the

00:09:43.019 --> 00:09:43.659
 disciples

00:09:43.659 --> 00:09:44.659
 Jesus'

00:09:44.860 --> 00:09:45.199
 disciples

00:09:45.199 --> 00:09:45.939
 baptizing

00:09:45.939 --> 00:09:46.340
 on the

00:09:46.340 --> 00:09:46.899
 other side

00:09:46.899 --> 00:09:47.120
 of the

00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:47.360
 Jordan

00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:47.840
 and so

00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:49.120
 they turn

00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:49.399
 to John

00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:49.799
 the Baptist

00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:50.639
 and address

00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:51.080
 him as

00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:51.539
 rabbi

00:09:51.539 --> 00:09:52.299
 in verse 26

00:09:52.299 --> 00:09:52.899
 and they're

00:09:52.899 --> 00:09:53.399
 just looking

00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:53.860
 to him

00:09:53.860 --> 00:09:54.419
 hey what

00:09:54.419 --> 00:09:54.580
 do we

00:09:54.580 --> 00:09:54.840
 do?

00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:55.879
 So look

00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:56.580
 at verse 26

00:09:56.580 --> 00:09:59.620
 and they

00:09:59.620 --> 00:10:00.100
 John the

00:10:00.100 --> 00:10:00.379
 Baptist

00:10:00.379 --> 00:10:00.960
 disciples

00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:01.600
 came to

00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:02.039
 John

00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:03.000
 and said

00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:03.320
 to him

00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:04.060
 rabbi

00:10:04.060 --> 00:10:04.680
 teacher

00:10:04.680 --> 00:10:05.259
 leader

00:10:05.259 --> 00:10:06.580
 he who

00:10:06.580 --> 00:10:07.060
 was with

00:10:07.060 --> 00:10:07.240
 you

00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:07.639
 across

00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:07.840
 the

00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:08.180
 Jordan

00:10:08.180 --> 00:10:09.240
 to whom

00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:09.419
 you

00:10:09.419 --> 00:10:10.159
 you bore

00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:10.639
 witness

00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:11.919
 look

00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:12.180
 he's

00:10:12.180 --> 00:10:12.700
 baptizing

00:10:12.700 --> 00:10:13.139
 and all

00:10:13.139 --> 00:10:13.539
 are going

00:10:13.539 --> 00:10:13.960
 to him

00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:15.539
 it's like

00:10:15.539 --> 00:10:15.919
 that they're

00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:16.379
 saying

00:10:16.379 --> 00:10:17.720
 hey

00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:18.220
 this

00:10:18.220 --> 00:10:19.060
 this

00:10:19.060 --> 00:10:19.539
 guy

00:10:19.539 --> 00:10:20.279
 of yours

00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:21.200
 JTB

00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:22.379
 whom

00:10:22.379 --> 00:10:22.800
 you

00:10:22.800 --> 00:10:23.279
 witnessed

00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:23.759
 about

00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:26.439
 he and

00:10:26.439 --> 00:10:26.840
 his crew

00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:27.500
 are baptizing

00:10:27.500 --> 00:10:27.720
 on the

00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:28.039
 other side

00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:28.200
 of the

00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:28.519
 Jordan

00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:29.700
 and everybody's

00:10:29.700 --> 00:10:30.200
 going to him

00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:30.960
 we're losing

00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:31.840
 the battle

00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:32.139
 of the

00:10:32.139 --> 00:10:32.819
 baptisms

00:10:32.819 --> 00:10:39.100
 if you

00:10:39.100 --> 00:10:39.439
 were

00:10:39.439 --> 00:10:41.000
 part of

00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:42.179
 John's

00:10:42.179 --> 00:10:42.460
 crew

00:10:42.460 --> 00:10:43.600
 this may

00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:43.879
 have been

00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:44.759
 very discouraging

00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:45.159
 to you

00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:45.559
 to see

00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:46.039
 people

00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:47.080
 not coming

00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:47.919
 to your

00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:48.259
 site

00:10:48.259 --> 00:10:48.539
 to be

00:10:48.539 --> 00:10:48.879
 baptized

00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:50.080
 and going

00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:50.759
 to another

00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:51.159
 site

00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:51.500
 to be

00:10:51.500 --> 00:10:51.860
 baptized

00:10:51.860 --> 00:10:52.799
 and if

00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:52.980
 you're

00:10:52.980 --> 00:10:53.179
 in the

00:10:53.179 --> 00:10:53.559
 room

00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:54.199
 and you're

00:10:54.199 --> 00:10:54.359
 like

00:10:54.359 --> 00:10:54.739
 I can't

00:10:54.739 --> 00:10:55.000
 relate

00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:55.299
 with that

00:10:55.299 --> 00:10:55.459
 you

00:10:55.459 --> 00:10:55.859
 actually

00:10:55.859 --> 00:10:56.219
 can

00:10:56.219 --> 00:10:56.500
 relate

00:10:56.500 --> 00:10:56.939
 with that

00:10:56.939 --> 00:10:57.939
 because

00:10:57.939 --> 00:10:58.459
 I'm

00:10:58.459 --> 00:10:58.739
 guessing

00:10:58.739 --> 00:10:59.159
 at some

00:10:59.159 --> 00:10:59.399
 point

00:10:59.399 --> 00:10:59.719
 in time

00:10:59.719 --> 00:11:00.059
 you've

00:11:00.059 --> 00:11:00.379
 wondered

00:11:00.379 --> 00:11:01.139
 why are

00:11:01.139 --> 00:11:01.559
 these

00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:01.919
 people

00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:02.479
 going to

00:11:02.479 --> 00:11:02.759
 that

00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:03.099
 church

00:11:03.099 --> 00:11:03.559
 and not

00:13:14.700 --> 00:13:14.920
 are

00:13:14.920 --> 00:13:15.120
 you'll

00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:15.279
 want

00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:15.399
 to

00:13:18.660 --> 00:13:19.060
 hard

00:13:19.060 --> 00:13:20.360
 but

00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:20.779
 what

00:13:20.779 --> 00:13:21.320
 if

 river

00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:24.960
 is

00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:25.160

00:13:38.580 --> 00:13:38.779
 John

00:13:38.779 --> 00:13:38.899
 the

 Baptist

00:13:39.160 --> 00:13:39.759
 disciples

00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:40.160
 seem

00:13:40.160 --> 00:13:40.440
 to be

00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:40.740
 a little

00:13:40.740 --> 00:13:41.420
 standoff

00:13:41.420 --> 00:13:41.600
 and

00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:42.040
 resistant

00:13:42.040 --> 00:13:42.360
 to

00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:42.639
 Jesus

00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:42.879
 and

00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:43.040
 what

00:13:43.040 --> 00:13:43.180
 he's

00:13:43.180 --> 00:13:43.500
 doing

00:13:43.500 --> 00:13:45.000
 but

00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:45.360
 John

00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:45.540
 the

00:13:45.540 --> 00:13:45.860
 Baptist

00:13:45.860 --> 00:13:46.500
 response

00:13:46.500 --> 00:13:46.660
 and

00:13:46.660 --> 00:13:46.800
 what

00:13:46.800 --> 00:13:47.000
 we're

00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:47.300
 about

00:13:47.300 --> 00:13:47.519
 to

00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:47.800
 see

00:13:47.800 --> 00:13:49.040
 is

00:13:49.040 --> 00:13:49.180
 the

 complete

00:13:49.500 --> 00:13:49.920
 opposite

00:13:49.920 --> 00:13:51.399
 and

00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:51.540
 so

00:13:51.540 --> 00:13:51.700
 would

00:13:51.700 --> 00:13:51.800
 you

00:13:51.800 --> 00:13:52.060
 turn

00:13:52.060 --> 00:13:52.240
 with

00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:52.379
 me

00:13:52.379 --> 00:13:52.600
 now

00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:52.779
 we'll

00:13:52.779 --> 00:13:52.940
 move

00:13:52.940 --> 00:13:53.080
 to

00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:53.600
 the

00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:54.040
 second

00:13:54.040 --> 00:13:55.060
 move

00:13:55.060 --> 00:13:55.840
 and

00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:55.879
 I'm

00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:55.980
 just

00:13:55.980 --> 00:13:56.740
 going to

00:13:56.740 --> 00:13:57.019
 summarize

00:13:58.720 --> 00:13:59.100
 he must

00:13:59.100 --> 00:13:59.840
 increase

00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:00.660
 but

00:14:00.660 --> 00:14:00.879
 I

00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:01.120
 must

00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:01.700
 decrease

00:14:01.700 --> 00:14:03.800
 verses

00:14:03.800 --> 00:14:04.480
 27

00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:05.480
 36

00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:08.540
 what

00:14:08.540 --> 00:14:10.940
 was

00:14:10.940 --> 00:14:11.240
 taking

00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:11.740
 place

00:14:11.740 --> 00:14:12.000
 in

00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:12.460
 Anon

00:14:12.460 --> 00:14:13.560
 was

00:14:13.560 --> 00:14:13.860
 not

00:14:13.860 --> 00:14:14.080
 a

00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:14.399
 battle

00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:14.580
 of

00:14:14.580 --> 00:14:14.700
 the

00:14:14.700 --> 00:14:15.300
 baptisms

00:14:15.300 --> 00:14:16.399
 but

00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:16.540
 a

00:14:16.540 --> 00:14:16.899
 passing

00:14:16.899 --> 00:14:17.120
 of

00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:17.259
 the

00:14:17.259 --> 00:14:17.720
 baton

00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:19.279
 this

00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:20.279
 is

00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:20.540
 what

00:14:20.540 --> 00:14:20.700
 he

00:14:20.700 --> 00:14:20.940
 was

00:14:20.940 --> 00:14:21.379
 sent

 Baptist

00:14:22.019 --> 00:14:22.320
 was

00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:22.660
 sent

00:14:22.660 --> 00:14:23.060
 for

00:14:23.060 --> 00:14:23.620
 this

00:14:23.620 --> 00:14:24.100
 was

00:14:24.100 --> 00:14:24.500
 the

00:14:24.500 --> 00:14:25.120
 necessary

00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:25.759
 fulfillment

00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:26.379
 of

00:14:26.379 --> 00:14:26.540
 the

00:14:26.540 --> 00:14:26.840
 coming

00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:27.060
 of

00:14:27.060 --> 00:14:27.399
 Jesus

00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:28.040
 to

00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:28.500
 take

00:14:28.500 --> 00:14:29.039
 over

 the

00:14:29.899 --> 00:14:30.199
 Baptist

00:14:30.199 --> 00:14:30.799
 knew

00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:31.899
 that

00:14:31.899 --> 00:14:32.219
 God

00:14:32.219 --> 00:14:32.399
 would

00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:32.599
 not

00:14:32.599 --> 00:14:33.179
 establish

00:14:33.179 --> 00:14:33.480
 his

00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:33.860
 kingdom

00:14:33.860 --> 00:14:34.639
 in

00:14:35.419 --> 00:14:35.839
 Baptist

00:14:35.839 --> 00:14:37.399
 but

00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:37.500
 in

00:14:37.500 --> 00:14:37.620
 the

00:14:37.620 --> 00:14:37.759
 name

00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:37.919
 of

00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:38.179
 Jesus

00:14:38.179 --> 00:14:38.819
 Christ

00:14:38.819 --> 00:14:40.699
 John

00:14:40.699 --> 00:14:40.919
 knew

00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:41.139
 who

00:14:41.139 --> 00:14:41.360
 he

00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:41.839
 was

00:14:41.839 --> 00:14:42.079
 in

00:14:42.079 --> 00:14:42.599
 relationship

00:14:42.599 --> 00:14:42.839
 to

00:14:42.839 --> 00:14:43.139
 Jesus

00:14:43.139 --> 00:14:43.980
 and

00:14:43.980 --> 00:14:44.179
 knew

00:14:44.179 --> 00:14:44.419
 who

00:14:44.419 --> 00:14:44.659
 he

00:14:44.659 --> 00:14:45.419
 wasn't

00:14:45.419 --> 00:14:46.399
 so

00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:46.559
 in

00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:46.740
 verses

00:14:46.740 --> 00:14:47.379
 27

00:14:47.379 --> 00:14:47.599
 through

00:14:47.599 --> 00:14:48.179
 35

00:14:48.179 --> 00:14:48.919
 what

00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:49.120
 we're

00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:49.379
 given

00:14:49.379 --> 00:14:49.759
 here

00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:50.439
 is

00:14:50.439 --> 00:14:51.299
 our

00:14:51.299 --> 00:14:52.019
 four

00:14:52.019 --> 00:14:52.559
 reasons

00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:53.199
 essentially

00:14:53.199 --> 00:14:54.099
 of

00:14:54.099 --> 00:14:54.480
 why

00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:54.980
 we

00:14:54.980 --> 00:14:55.379
 must

00:14:55.379 --> 00:14:56.079
 confess

00:14:56.079 --> 00:14:57.039
 he

00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:57.299
 must

00:14:57.299 --> 00:14:57.879
 increase

00:14:57.879 --> 00:14:58.820
 but

00:14:58.820 --> 00:14:58.980
 I

00:14:58.980 --> 00:14:59.200
 must

00:14:59.200 --> 00:14:59.700
 decrease

00:14:59.700 --> 00:15:01.240
 so

00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:01.460
 let's

00:15:01.460 --> 00:15:01.779
 look at

00:15:01.779 --> 00:15:02.259
 each

00:15:02.259 --> 00:15:02.639
 reason

00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:02.960
 one

00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:03.059
 at

00:15:03.059 --> 00:15:03.159
 a

00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:03.439
 time

00:15:03.439 --> 00:15:04.399
 reason

00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:04.639
 number

00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:05.000
 one

 Jesus

00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:03.059
 the

 on

 this

00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:41.500
 one

 you

00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:42.019
 think

00:28:42.019 --> 00:28:42.240
 that

00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:42.740
 when

00:28:42.740 --> 00:28:42.879
 he

00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:46.539
 that's

00:28:46.539 --> 00:28:46.679
 not

00:28:46.679 --> 00:28:46.839
 the

00:28:46.839 --> 00:28:47.219
 case

 bears

00:28:50.860 --> 00:28:51.200
 witness

00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:51.400
 to

00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:51.600
 what

00:28:51.600 --> 00:28:51.720
 he

00:28:51.720 --> 00:28:51.860
 has

00:28:51.860 --> 00:28:52.039
 seen

 yet

00:28:52.539 --> 00:28:52.839
 no

00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:53.079
 one

00:28:53.079 --> 00:28:53.720
 receives

00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:54.600
 his

00:28:54.600 --> 00:28:55.360
 testimony

 will

00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:57.920
 but

00:28:57.920 --> 00:28:58.339
 most

00:28:58.339 --> 00:28:58.660
 do

00:28:58.660 --> 00:28:59.100
 not

00:28:59.100 --> 00:29:02.259
 the

00:29:02.259 --> 00:29:02.440
 one

00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:02.579
 who

00:29:02.579 --> 00:29:02.880
 does

00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:03.259
 receive

 his

00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:08.759
 God

00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:08.900
 is

00:29:08.900 --> 00:29:09.100
 true

00:29:09.100 --> 00:29:09.360
 that's

00:29:09.360 --> 00:29:09.700
 interesting

00:29:09.700 --> 00:29:10.079
 language

00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:10.360
 set

 seal

00:29:13.079 --> 00:29:13.180
 is

 a

00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:13.480
 picture

00:29:13.480 --> 00:29:13.620
 of

00:29:13.620 --> 00:29:14.079
 authentication

00:29:14.079 --> 00:29:16.279
 it

00:29:16.279 --> 00:29:16.880
 means

00:29:16.880 --> 00:29:17.040
 that

00:29:17.040 --> 00:29:17.280
 something

00:29:17.280 --> 00:29:17.440
 is

00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:17.900
 genuine

00:29:17.900 --> 00:29:18.720
 it's

00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:19.020
 when

00:29:19.020 --> 00:29:19.780
 back

00:29:19.780 --> 00:29:19.900
 in

00:29:19.900 --> 00:29:20.000
 the

00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:20.200
 day

00:29:20.200 --> 00:29:20.480
 people

00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:20.640
 would

00:29:20.640 --> 00:29:20.800
 have

00:29:20.800 --> 00:29:21.300
 signet

00:29:21.300 --> 00:29:21.720
 rings

 signet

00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:22.920
 press

00:29:24.340 --> 00:29:24.700
 this

00:29:24.700 --> 00:29:25.300
 seal

00:29:25.300 --> 00:29:25.680
 would

00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:25.860
 be

00:29:25.860 --> 00:29:26.220
 pressed

00:29:26.220 --> 00:29:26.520
 into

00:29:26.520 --> 00:29:26.820
 hot

00:29:26.820 --> 00:29:27.180
 wax

00:29:27.180 --> 00:29:27.440
 upon

00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:27.660
 let's

00:29:27.660 --> 00:29:27.800
 say

00:29:27.800 --> 00:29:28.000
 a

00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:28.480
 document

00:29:28.480 --> 00:29:28.960
 and

00:29:28.960 --> 00:29:29.120
 that

00:29:29.120 --> 00:29:29.600
 document

00:29:29.600 --> 00:29:29.940
 with

00:29:29.940 --> 00:29:30.140
 that

00:29:30.140 --> 00:29:30.600
 seal

00:29:30.600 --> 00:29:30.820
 would

00:29:30.820 --> 00:29:31.200
 mean

00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:32.140
 it's

00:29:32.140 --> 00:29:32.560
 legitimate

00:29:32.560 --> 00:29:34.600
 yeah

00:29:34.600 --> 00:29:35.000
 I

00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:35.600
 approve

00:29:35.600 --> 00:29:35.920
 that

00:29:35.920 --> 00:29:36.600
 I

00:29:36.600 --> 00:29:36.860
 agree

00:29:36.860 --> 00:29:40.180
 those

00:29:40.180 --> 00:29:40.620
 of us

00:29:40.620 --> 00:29:40.940
 who

00:29:40.940 --> 00:29:41.720
 receive

00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:41.880
 the

00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:42.060
 words

00:29:42.060 --> 00:29:42.220
 of

00:29:42.220 --> 00:29:42.480
 Jesus

00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:42.760
 as

00:29:42.760 --> 00:29:43.120
 God's

00:29:43.120 --> 00:29:43.480
 truth

00:29:43.480 --> 00:29:44.580
 we

00:29:44.580 --> 00:29:44.800
 set

00:29:44.800 --> 00:29:44.960
 our

00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:45.340
 seal

00:29:45.340 --> 00:29:45.360
!

00:29:45.360 --> 00:29:45.580
 on

00:29:45.580 --> 00:29:45.720
 it

00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:46.000
 it's

00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:46.140
 not

00:29:46.140 --> 00:29:46.340
 like

00:29:46.339 --> 00:29:46.500
 we

00:29:46.500 --> 00:29:46.679
 have

00:29:46.679 --> 00:29:46.879
 much

00:29:46.879 --> 00:29:47.240
 authority

00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:47.399
 in

00:29:47.399 --> 00:29:47.759
 ourselves

00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:48.599
 but

00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:48.740
 we're

00:29:48.740 --> 00:29:49.079
 saying

00:29:49.079 --> 00:29:49.399
 it's

00:29:49.399 --> 00:29:49.879
 true

00:29:49.879 --> 00:29:51.220
 I'm

00:29:51.220 --> 00:29:51.619
 committed

00:29:51.619 --> 00:29:51.819
 to

00:29:51.819 --> 00:29:52.199
 this

00:29:52.199 --> 00:29:53.459
 God's

00:29:53.459 --> 00:29:53.859
 plan

00:29:53.859 --> 00:29:54.000
 of

00:29:54.000 --> 00:29:54.419
 salvation

00:29:54.419 --> 00:29:54.759
 in

00:29:54.759 --> 00:29:55.039
 Christ

00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:55.379
 Jesus

00:29:55.379 --> 00:29:55.759
 it's

00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:56.000
 all

00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:56.439
 true

 you

00:29:57.139 --> 00:29:57.379
 remember

00:29:58.159 --> 00:29:59.720
 that

00:29:59.720 --> 00:29:59.899
 it

00:29:59.899 --> 00:30:00.299
 dawned

00:30:00.299 --> 00:30:00.559
 on you

00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:00.759
 that

00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:01.299
 Christianity

00:30:01.299 --> 00:30:01.619
 was

00:30:01.619 --> 00:30:01.899
 true

00:30:01.899 --> 00:30:02.199
 do you

00:30:02.199 --> 00:30:02.359
 remember

 that

00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:03.259
 started

00:30:03.259 --> 00:30:03.619
 happening

00:30:03.619 --> 00:30:33.619


00:30:33.619 --> 00:31:03.619


00:31:03.619 --> 00:31:04.559
 we

00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:04.559


00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:04.739
 build

00:31:04.739 --> 00:31:04.899
 our

00:31:04.899 --> 00:31:05.339
 lives

00:31:05.339 --> 00:31:05.899
 on

 of

00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:06.699
 Jesus

00:31:06.699 --> 00:31:08.839
 we're

00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:09.299
 dependent

00:31:09.299 --> 00:31:10.719
 on

00:31:10.719 --> 00:31:10.839
 the

00:31:11.199 --> 00:31:11.419
 Jesus

00:31:11.419 --> 00:31:11.659
 if

00:31:11.659 --> 00:31:11.759
 you

00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:11.859
 would

00:31:11.859 --> 00:31:12.059
 flip

00:31:12.059 --> 00:31:12.359
 back

00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:12.459
 in

 your

00:31:18.859 --> 00:31:18.959
 going to

00:31:18.959 --> 00:31:19.319
 look at

 Jesus

00:31:23.739 --> 00:31:24.379
 wrapping

00:31:24.379 --> 00:31:24.639
 up

00:31:24.639 --> 00:31:24.839
 this

00:31:24.839 --> 00:31:24.979
 is

00:31:24.979 --> 00:31:25.159
 his

00:31:25.159 --> 00:31:25.779
 conclusion

00:31:25.779 --> 00:31:26.559
 to

00:35:19.940 --> 00:35:20.340
 death

00:35:20.340 --> 00:35:21.800
 since

00:35:21.800 --> 00:35:22.059
 he's

00:35:22.059 --> 00:35:22.360
 first

00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:22.720
 born

00:35:22.720 --> 00:35:23.039
 from

00:35:23.460 --> 00:35:24.900
 you

00:35:24.900 --> 00:35:25.080
 might

00:35:25.080 --> 00:35:25.300
 say

00:35:25.300 --> 00:35:25.519
 well

00:35:25.519 --> 00:35:25.620
 it

00:35:25.620 --> 00:35:25.840
 doesn't

00:35:25.840 --> 00:35:26.059
 feel

00:35:26.059 --> 00:35:26.240
 like

00:35:26.240 --> 00:35:26.519
 Jesus

00:35:26.519 --> 00:35:26.740
 is

00:35:27.680 --> 00:35:28.500
 I'm

00:35:28.500 --> 00:35:28.740

 looks

00:35:29.500 --> 00:35:29.680
 like

00:35:29.680 --> 00:35:29.860
 things

00:35:29.860 --> 00:35:29.960
 are

00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:30.140
 pretty

00:35:30.140 --> 00:35:30.519
 crazy

00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:30.680
 and

00:35:30.680 --> 00:35:31.200
 chaotic

00:35:31.200 --> 00:35:33.880

 scriptures

00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:40.800
 what

00:35:40.800 --> 00:35:40.960
 is

00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:41.600

00:36:27.820 --> 00:36:27.960
 one

 gone

00:36:28.260 --> 00:36:28.599
 before

 this

00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:30.840
 means

00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:31.220
 for

00:36:31.220 --> 00:36:31.619
 us

00:36:31.619 --> 00:36:32.460
 we

00:36:32.460 --> 00:36:32.599
 are

00:36:32.599 --> 00:36:32.800
 not

00:36:32.800 --> 00:36:32.960
 in

 control

00:36:33.360 --> 00:36:35.480
 Christ

00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:35.679
 is

00:36:35.679 --> 00:36:35.820
 in

00:36:35.820 --> 00:36:36.099
 control

00:36:36.099 --> 00:36:36.340
 all

00:36:36.340 --> 00:36:36.559
 things

 his

 right

00:36:37.659 --> 00:36:37.960
 hand

00:36:37.960 --> 00:36:38.420
 and

00:36:38.420 --> 00:36:38.619
 we

00:36:38.619 --> 00:36:38.900
 must

00:36:38.900 --> 00:36:39.099
!

00:36:39.099 --> 00:36:39.579
 resist

00:36:39.579 --> 00:36:39.780
 him

00:36:39.780 --> 00:36:39.980
 but

00:36:39.980 --> 00:36:40.559
 rejoice

00:36:40.559 --> 00:36:40.860
 in

 his

00:36:41.079 --> 00:36:41.559
 control

00:36:41.559 --> 00:36:42.940
 so

00:36:42.940 --> 00:36:43.099
 the

00:36:43.099 --> 00:36:43.320
 fourth

00:36:43.320 --> 00:36:43.639
 reason

00:36:43.639 --> 00:36:43.960
 why

00:36:43.960 --> 00:36:44.119
 he

00:36:44.119 --> 00:36:44.320
 must

00:36:44.320 --> 00:36:44.699
 increase

00:36:44.699 --> 00:36:44.880
 and

00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:45.019
 why

00:36:45.019 --> 00:36:45.199
 we

00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:45.440
 must

00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:45.980
 decrease

00:36:45.980 --> 00:36:47.400
 is

00:36:47.400 --> 00:36:47.559
 that

00:36:47.559 --> 00:36:47.719
 he

00:36:47.719 --> 00:36:47.900
 is

00:36:47.900 --> 00:36:48.019
 in

00:36:48.019 --> 00:36:48.440
 control

00:36:48.440 --> 00:36:49.940
 and

00:36:49.940 --> 00:36:50.099
 we

00:36:50.099 --> 00:36:50.239
 are

00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:50.559
 not

00:36:50.559 --> 00:36:50.880
 and

00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:51.119
 that's

00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:51.320
 really

00:36:51.320 --> 00:36:51.539
 good

00:36:51.539 --> 00:36:51.960
 news

00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:54.000
 so

00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:54.219
 here's

00:36:54.219 --> 00:36:54.340
 the

00:36:54.340 --> 00:36:54.599
 point

00:36:54.599 --> 00:36:56.940
 we're

00:36:56.940 --> 00:36:57.099
 not

00:36:57.099 --> 00:36:57.259
 the

00:36:57.259 --> 00:36:57.500
 king

00:36:57.500 --> 00:36:59.440
 Jesus

00:36:59.440 --> 00:36:59.860
 is

00:36:59.860 --> 00:37:00.059
 our

00:37:00.059 --> 00:37:00.320
 king

00:37:00.320 --> 00:37:00.500
 and

00:37:00.500 --> 00:37:00.679
 by

00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:00.880
 his

00:37:00.880 --> 00:37:01.259
 grace

00:37:01.259 --> 00:37:02.019
 we

00:37:02.019 --> 00:37:02.199
 have

00:37:02.199 --> 00:37:02.340
 been

00:37:02.340 --> 00:37:02.639
 brought

 forever

00:37:03.659 --> 00:37:04.079
 kingdom

00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:04.940
 we're

00:37:04.940 --> 00:37:05.099
 not

00:37:05.099 --> 00:37:05.279
 the

00:37:05.279 --> 00:37:05.559
 groom

00:37:05.559 --> 00:37:07.840
 Jesus

00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:08.079
 is

00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:08.259
 the

00:37:08.259 --> 00:37:08.440
 groom

00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:08.599
 and

00:37:08.599 --> 00:37:08.759
 by

00:37:08.759 --> 00:37:09.039
 his

00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:09.360
 grace

00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:09.599
 he

00:37:09.599 --> 00:37:09.900
 laid

00:37:09.900 --> 00:37:10.159
 down

00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:10.380
 his

00:37:10.380 --> 00:37:10.699
 life

00:37:10.699 --> 00:37:10.920
 for

00:37:10.920 --> 00:37:11.420
 us

00:37:11.420 --> 00:37:13.019
 we

00:37:13.019 --> 00:37:13.180
 are

00:37:13.180 --> 00:37:13.400
 not

00:37:13.400 --> 00:37:13.659
 from

00:37:13.659 --> 00:37:14.099
 above

00:37:14.099 --> 00:37:15.940
 Jesus

00:37:15.940 --> 00:37:16.240
 is

00:37:16.240 --> 00:37:16.440
 from

00:37:16.440 --> 00:37:16.840
 above

00:37:16.840 --> 00:37:18.139
 and

00:37:18.139 --> 00:37:18.400
 he

00:37:18.400 --> 00:37:18.780
 has

00:37:18.780 --> 00:37:19.400
 the

00:37:19.400 --> 00:37:19.680
 all

00:37:19.680 --> 00:37:20.280
 authoritative

00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:20.659
 words

00:37:20.659 --> 00:37:20.860
 of

00:37:20.860 --> 00:37:21.099
 God

00:37:21.099 --> 00:37:21.300
 that

00:37:21.300 --> 00:37:21.519
 we

00:37:21.519 --> 00:37:21.880
 build

00:37:21.880 --> 00:37:22.159
 our

00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:22.619
 lives

00:37:22.619 --> 00:37:23.039
 on

00:37:23.039 --> 00:37:25.180
 and

00:37:25.180 --> 00:37:25.320
 we

00:37:25.320 --> 00:37:25.420
 are

00:37:25.420 --> 00:37:25.599
 not

00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:25.860
 above

00:37:25.860 --> 00:37:26.200
 all

00:37:26.200 --> 00:37:27.980
 Jesus

00:37:27.980 --> 00:37:28.240
 is

00:37:28.240 --> 00:37:28.440
 above

00:37:28.440 --> 00:37:28.760
 all

00:37:28.760 --> 00:37:29.320
 he

00:37:29.320 --> 00:37:29.539
 is

00:37:29.539 --> 00:37:29.639
 in

00:37:29.639 --> 00:37:30.019
 control

00:37:30.019 --> 00:37:30.260
 of

00:37:30.260 --> 00:37:30.559
 all

00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:30.780
 and

00:37:30.780 --> 00:37:30.960
 we

00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:31.579
 submit

00:37:31.579 --> 00:37:32.220
 ourselves

00:37:32.220 --> 00:37:33.000
 to

00:37:33.000 --> 00:37:33.340
 him

00:37:33.340 --> 00:37:33.720
 like

00:37:33.720 --> 00:37:34.220
 John

00:37:34.220 --> 00:37:34.740
 we

00:37:34.740 --> 00:37:35.099
 must

00:37:35.099 --> 00:37:35.340
 know

00:37:35.340 --> 00:37:35.599
 who

00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:35.880
 we

00:37:35.880 --> 00:37:36.300
 are

00:37:36.300 --> 00:37:36.820
 and

00:37:36.820 --> 00:37:37.099
 who

00:37:37.099 --> 00:37:37.420
 we're

00:37:37.420 --> 00:37:37.840
 not

00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:38.480
 we

00:37:38.480 --> 00:37:38.800
 are

00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:39.280
 not

00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:39.920
 Jesus

00:37:39.920 --> 00:37:40.740
 the

00:37:40.740 --> 00:37:41.139
 king

00:37:41.139 --> 00:37:41.900
 the groom

00:37:41.900 --> 00:37:42.859
 from above

00:37:42.859 --> 00:37:43.339
 and above

00:37:43.339 --> 00:37:43.699
 all

00:37:43.699 --> 00:37:44.900
 what we

00:37:44.900 --> 00:37:45.400
 are

00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:46.400
 are those

00:37:46.400 --> 00:37:47.119
 who confess

00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:48.679
 with joy

00:37:48.679 --> 00:37:50.119
 he must

00:37:50.119 --> 00:37:50.659
 increase

00:37:50.659 --> 00:37:52.099
 and we

00:37:52.099 --> 00:37:52.960
 must decrease

00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:54.879
 because he

00:37:54.879 --> 00:37:55.480
 is worthy

00:37:55.480 --> 00:37:57.420
 Jesus is

00:37:57.420 --> 00:37:57.900
 greater than

00:37:57.900 --> 00:37:58.139
 me

00:37:58.139 --> 00:38:02.079
 when Jesus

00:38:02.079 --> 00:38:02.579
 comes on the

00:38:02.579 --> 00:38:02.960
 scene of your

00:38:02.960 --> 00:38:03.299
 life

00:38:03.299 --> 00:38:05.739
 will you

00:38:05.739 --> 00:38:06.299
 resist him

00:38:06.299 --> 00:38:06.960
 or will you

00:38:06.960 --> 00:38:07.719
 rejoice in

00:38:07.719 --> 00:38:08.000
 him

00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:09.860
 verse

00:38:09.860 --> 00:38:09.860


00:38:09.860 --> 00:38:10.500
 36

00:38:10.500 --> 00:38:12.500
 there are

00:38:12.500 --> 00:38:12.960
 two ways

00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:13.559
 to respond

00:38:13.559 --> 00:38:13.900
 to this

00:38:13.900 --> 00:38:14.400
 one

00:38:14.400 --> 00:38:15.119
 who is

00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:15.480
 now

00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:15.840
 risen

00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:16.039
 and

00:38:16.039 --> 00:38:16.320
 reigning

00:38:16.320 --> 00:38:16.619
 at the

00:38:16.619 --> 00:38:16.800
 right

00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:16.960
 hand

00:38:16.960 --> 00:38:17.099
 of

00:38:17.099 --> 00:38:17.320
 God

00:38:17.320 --> 00:38:17.500
 he's

00:38:17.500 --> 00:38:17.619
 no

00:38:17.619 --> 00:38:17.820
 longer

00:38:17.820 --> 00:38:18.019
 on the

00:38:18.019 --> 00:38:18.139
 other

00:38:18.139 --> 00:38:18.300
 side

00:38:18.300 --> 00:38:18.460
 of the

00:38:18.460 --> 00:38:18.659
 river

00:38:18.659 --> 00:38:21.340
 you

00:38:21.340 --> 00:38:21.659
 believe

00:38:21.659 --> 00:38:22.019
 in him

00:38:22.019 --> 00:38:23.639
 you

00:38:23.639 --> 00:38:24.019
 receive

00:38:24.019 --> 00:38:24.199
 his

00:38:24.199 --> 00:38:24.739
 testimony

00:38:24.739 --> 00:38:25.860
 and in

00:38:25.860 --> 00:38:26.000
 the

00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:26.539
 context

00:38:26.539 --> 00:38:27.320
 of this

00:38:27.320 --> 00:38:27.900
 passage

00:38:27.900 --> 00:38:28.400
 to

00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:28.639
 believe

00:38:28.639 --> 00:38:28.800
 in

00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:29.119
 Jesus

00:38:29.119 --> 00:38:29.739
 means

00:38:29.739 --> 00:38:29.860
 you

00:38:29.860 --> 00:38:30.059
 make

00:38:30.059 --> 00:38:30.219
 a

00:38:30.219 --> 00:38:30.739
 confession

00:38:30.739 --> 00:38:32.839
 he

00:38:32.839 --> 00:38:33.119
 must

00:38:33.119 --> 00:38:33.719
 increase

00:38:33.719 --> 00:38:34.799
 but I

00:38:34.799 --> 00:38:35.019
 must

00:38:35.019 --> 00:38:35.500
 decrease

00:38:35.500 --> 00:38:37.439
 now

00:38:37.439 --> 00:38:37.899
 for some

00:38:37.899 --> 00:38:38.079
 of you

00:38:38.079 --> 00:38:38.259
 in the

00:38:38.259 --> 00:38:38.399
 room

00:38:38.399 --> 00:38:38.639
 I'm

00:38:38.639 --> 00:38:38.859
 guessing

00:38:38.859 --> 00:38:39.039
 that

00:38:39.039 --> 00:38:39.299
 sounds

00:38:39.299 --> 00:38:39.500
 like

00:38:39.500 --> 00:38:39.919
 misery

00:38:39.919 --> 00:38:42.039
 because

00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:42.459
 in your

00:38:42.459 --> 00:38:42.899
 mind

00:38:42.899 --> 00:38:43.299
 you

00:38:43.299 --> 00:38:43.500
 think

00:38:43.500 --> 00:38:43.819
 the way

00:38:43.819 --> 00:38:43.959
 to

00:38:43.959 --> 00:38:44.319
 flourish

00:38:44.319 --> 00:38:44.939
 is

00:38:44.939 --> 00:38:45.119
 by

00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:45.359
 living

00:38:45.359 --> 00:38:45.579
 by

00:38:45.579 --> 00:38:45.899
 another

00:38:45.899 --> 00:38:46.279
 motto

00:38:46.279 --> 00:38:47.219
 I

00:38:47.219 --> 00:38:47.479
 must

00:38:47.479 --> 00:38:47.959
 increase

00:38:47.959 --> 00:38:48.319
 and

00:38:48.319 --> 00:38:48.599
 everybody

00:38:48.599 --> 00:38:48.919
 else

00:38:48.919 --> 00:38:49.159
 must

00:38:49.159 --> 00:38:49.659
 decrease

00:38:49.659 --> 00:38:51.239
 but

00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:51.439
 that's

00:38:51.439 --> 00:38:51.659
 simply

00:38:51.659 --> 00:38:51.879
 just

00:38:51.879 --> 00:38:52.079
 not

00:38:52.079 --> 00:38:52.399
 true

00:38:52.399 --> 00:38:53.479
 what

00:38:53.479 --> 00:38:53.839
 we

00:38:53.839 --> 00:38:54.159
 set

00:38:54.159 --> 00:38:54.539
 our

00:38:54.539 --> 00:38:54.939
 seal

00:38:54.939 --> 00:38:55.339
 on

00:38:55.339 --> 00:38:55.919
 is

00:38:55.919 --> 00:38:56.079
 that

00:38:56.079 --> 00:38:56.199
 the

00:38:56.199 --> 00:38:56.459
 way

00:38:56.459 --> 00:38:56.679
 to

00:38:56.679 --> 00:38:57.039
 abundant

00:38:57.039 --> 00:38:57.059
!

00:38:57.059 --> 00:38:57.439
 life

00:38:57.439 --> 00:38:57.819
 eternal

00:38:57.819 --> 00:38:58.059
 life

00:38:58.059 --> 00:38:58.219
 that

00:38:58.219 --> 00:38:58.539
 starts

00:38:58.539 --> 00:38:58.879
 now

00:38:58.879 --> 00:38:59.859
 to truly

00:38:59.859 --> 00:39:00.419
 flourish

00:39:00.420 --> 00:39:00.920
 is

00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:01.099
 by

00:39:01.099 --> 00:39:01.639
 realizing

00:39:01.639 --> 00:39:01.980
 that

00:39:01.980 --> 00:39:02.340
 Jesus

00:39:02.340 --> 00:39:03.180
 alone

00:39:03.180 --> 00:39:04.019
 because

00:39:04.019 --> 00:39:04.200
 of

00:39:04.200 --> 00:39:04.420
 who

00:39:04.420 --> 00:39:04.680
 he

00:39:04.680 --> 00:39:05.240
 is

00:39:05.240 --> 00:39:05.860
 he's

00:39:05.860 --> 00:39:06.019
 the

00:39:06.019 --> 00:39:06.300
 king

00:39:06.300 --> 00:39:06.659
 he's

00:39:06.659 --> 00:39:06.820
 the

00:39:06.820 --> 00:39:07.139
 groom

00:39:07.139 --> 00:39:07.420
 he's

00:39:07.420 --> 00:39:07.639
 from

00:39:07.639 --> 00:39:07.960
 above

00:39:07.960 --> 00:39:08.119
 and

00:39:08.119 --> 00:39:08.440
 above

00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:08.900
 all

00:39:08.900 --> 00:39:09.940
 we

00:39:09.940 --> 00:39:10.720
 realize

00:39:10.720 --> 00:39:10.940
 he

00:39:10.940 --> 00:39:11.139
 must

00:39:11.139 --> 00:39:11.760
 increase

00:39:11.760 --> 00:39:12.180
 and

00:39:12.180 --> 00:39:12.480
 I

00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:12.820
 must

00:39:12.820 --> 00:39:14.559
 decrease

00:39:14.559 --> 00:39:15.200
 that

00:39:15.200 --> 00:39:16.300
 means

00:39:16.300 --> 00:39:16.440
 he

00:39:16.440 --> 00:39:16.760
 becomes

00:39:16.760 --> 00:39:16.940
 our

00:39:16.940 --> 00:39:17.139
 one

00:39:17.139 --> 00:39:17.500
 consuming

00:39:17.500 --> 00:39:17.920
 passion

00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:18.180
 our

00:39:18.180 --> 00:39:18.460
 all

00:39:18.460 --> 00:39:18.740
 governing

00:39:18.740 --> 00:39:19.360
 reality
