00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:11.359
 Well, we can turn back to our reading in Mark's Gospel, chapter 10, and we'll look at these verses that we've read together from verse 32 down to verse 45.

00:00:15.580 --> 00:00:25.800
! A few weeks ago, just before the October holidays on the Lord's Day morning, we were looking at the previous section to this from verse 13 down to verse 31.

00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:38.280
 And we saw there how in verse 13 there was the children that were being brought to Jesus, and the disciples were rebuking them and telling them not to bother the Master with them.

00:00:38.760 --> 00:00:44.179
 But Jesus says, let the children come to me, for to them belongs the kingdom of God.

00:00:44.179 --> 00:00:58.060
 And then we went on from there into verse 17 down to verse 31, where we see Jesus meeting with the rich young ruler, as he's known, the one who had great wealth, but yet lacked one thing.

00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:00.299
 One thing missing in his life.

00:01:00.379 --> 00:01:05.379
 He wasn't willing to give it all up and to come and follow Jesus.

00:01:05.379 --> 00:01:11.500
 And the people who heard this and saw this, the disciples and those who were with Jesus, they were astonished.

00:01:11.619 --> 00:01:18.619
 In verse 26, it says, they were exceedingly astonished and said to him, then who can be saved?

00:01:18.899 --> 00:01:28.280
 If this young man, who's seemingly kept all of the law in his own eyes, a good man in many ways, how, if he can't be saved, how can anyone be saved?

00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:36.840
 Well, Jesus reminded them that with man it's impossible, but with God, all things are possible, it says in verse 27.

00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:41.640
 And so that's where we're continuing from as we come into verse 32.

00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:46.819
 And who is Jesus speaking to in this passage?

00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:54.420
 As you read from verse 32 down to verse 45, when you see everything that's taking place,

00:01:54.420 --> 00:02:01.200
 when you see the kind of words that are used, you think of that word, verse 26, that people were exceedingly astonished.

00:02:01.320 --> 00:02:03.840
 There was this astonishment in their midst.

00:02:03.980 --> 00:02:05.019
 There was amazement.

00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:06.140
 There was fear.

00:02:06.299 --> 00:02:07.859
 There was demands being made.

00:02:07.980 --> 00:02:08.920
 There was dismay.

00:02:09.539 --> 00:02:13.180
 There was all kinds of thoughts going on among the people.

00:02:13.259 --> 00:02:20.060
 So you might think that Jesus here is speaking to people who are opposed to him or know nothing about him.

00:02:20.500 --> 00:02:22.960
 And he's teaching them his ways.

00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:26.020
 But who is he actually speaking to?

00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:31.800
 Well, he's speaking to the disciples and to his closest followers.

00:02:32.819 --> 00:02:39.080
 And we see in their experience so much of what our experience can be like as well.

00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:45.319
 We have all these times that we go through different experiences in life, different emotions,

00:02:45.580 --> 00:02:48.980
 that sense of astonishment, amazement, fear.

00:02:48.979 --> 00:02:55.319
 All can be our experience too in life when it comes to following Jesus.

00:02:56.679 --> 00:03:02.839
 And so what we see here as we look at this passage is all of these mixed up feelings,

00:03:03.239 --> 00:03:09.759
 mixed up questions that they have, mixed up reactions to the situation that they find themselves.

00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:18.539
 And it shows us the reality of the world in which we live, that we have so many challenges that we have to face up to.

00:03:18.679 --> 00:03:21.419
 Here are those who are closest to Jesus.

00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:24.579
 This is coming towards the end of his ministry.

00:03:24.979 --> 00:03:27.199
 He's been three years with them.

00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:34.439
 And still you could say they don't fully understand who they have before them.

00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:43.119
 And it's a great reminder to us as Christians or as those who are maybe seeking to know more about the Christian faith,

00:03:43.259 --> 00:03:49.019
 to know more about the Lord, that in our own understanding, our own emotions,

00:03:49.259 --> 00:03:52.780
 we can, as they would say, we can go through the ringer.

00:03:52.780 --> 00:03:55.500
 We can go through all of these different challenges.

00:03:55.620 --> 00:04:00.340
 And we feel one moment that we're close to the Lord, just like the disciples were,

00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:02.500
 and the followers on many occasions.

00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:07.039
 And at other times we can feel like we're so far away from the Lord

00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:10.719
 and almost going in the opposite direction to him.

00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:15.500
 But our faith is not dependent on our feelings.

00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:20.399
 Our faith is not dependent on what's going on around us.

00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:26.379
 And when we look at this situation and the way the people respond and the way the people act,

00:04:26.859 --> 00:04:30.319
 it's almost an encouragement to us.

00:04:31.259 --> 00:04:34.379
 It's an encouragement to us that, well, we're not alone.

00:04:35.099 --> 00:04:41.459
 When we feel like we're going through these experiences of astonishment, amazement, doubt, and fear,

00:04:41.539 --> 00:04:44.079
 and all of these things, we're not alone.

00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:45.819
 We're not the first.

00:04:45.939 --> 00:04:46.979
 We won't be the last.

00:04:46.980 --> 00:04:51.500
 And there are many others going through these experiences as well.

00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:55.620
 Even those who were the closest to Jesus, his own disciples,

00:04:56.319 --> 00:05:03.400
 found themselves almost again and again asking that question that they asked in Mark chapter 4

00:05:03.400 --> 00:05:05.700
 with the storm that they were with Jesus in.

00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:07.860
 Who is this?

00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:12.400
 They were astonished again and again.

00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:18.500
 They react in different ways again and again throughout the Gospels as we see.

00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:21.599
 But where does it always come back to?

00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:28.339
 It needs to come back to the reality of the truth that Jesus speaks,

00:05:28.459 --> 00:05:34.560
 the word that Jesus speaks to them and to us as well.

00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:40.040
 They're brought back to see the teaching of Jesus.

00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:46.220
 And that's what Jesus is giving to them in the verses that we are looking at this evening.

00:05:46.620 --> 00:05:48.980
 And there is a wealth of teaching again.

00:05:49.500 --> 00:05:56.500
 Chapter 10 just seems to be full of teaching after teaching after teaching of who Jesus is

00:05:56.500 --> 00:05:59.560
 and how they need to trust him.

00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:05.839
 And you see it's in the situation, the setting again of Jesus foretelling his death,

00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:09.060
 reminding them this is the purpose that he has come,

00:06:09.139 --> 00:06:11.459
 that he has a mission to fulfill,

00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:15.459
 and that his mission is for the salvation of souls.

00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:21.620
 And so he's telling them for the third time that he is going to die for them,

00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:23.899
 and yet they don't understand.

00:06:25.060 --> 00:06:27.620
 And don't we too have so much to learn?

00:06:27.620 --> 00:06:29.819
 You don't know everything.

00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:31.579
 I don't know everything.

00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:33.699
 We don't have all the answers.

00:06:33.899 --> 00:06:38.300
 Being a minister doesn't mean all the answers are contained in my mind.

00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:39.139
 It's impossible.

00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:43.699
 Being a church member doesn't mean you've made it.

00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:45.340
 You've arrived and that's it.

00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:50.360
 Coming to church doesn't make you better than others around us.

00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:56.639
 And so it's important for us that we see that we are all a work in progress.

00:06:57.100 --> 00:07:00.500
 That's what this passage reminds us about.

00:07:00.620 --> 00:07:03.540
 We are all a work in progress.

00:07:04.139 --> 00:07:09.420
 And in the midst of all the mixed up emotions that we can have in life,

00:07:09.860 --> 00:07:13.840
 that we can depend on the word of God.

00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:19.319
 And so the first thing we see with the people here is their mixed up feelings.

00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:24.839
 Jesus here is continuing, as it says in verse 32,

00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:28.219
 they were on the road going up to Jerusalem.

00:07:29.219 --> 00:07:31.439
 So he's been on this journey.

00:07:31.659 --> 00:07:34.359
 You see it in verse 17 as well.

00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:37.099
 Just before he met the rich young man,

00:07:37.159 --> 00:07:40.779
 he says he was setting out on his journey.

00:07:40.779 --> 00:07:44.319
 What was his journey?

00:07:45.339 --> 00:07:49.019
 Well, it was his journey that he was on going up to Jerusalem.

00:07:49.659 --> 00:07:53.699
 And he outlines for them in verse 32 to verse 34

00:07:53.699 --> 00:07:57.579
 the purpose for which he was going up to Jerusalem.

00:07:58.799 --> 00:08:02.199
 And perhaps this is what leaves the disciples and the followers

00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:07.419
 with so many mixed up feelings of amazement and fear

00:08:07.419 --> 00:08:09.179
 all mixed up together.

00:08:09.180 --> 00:08:12.199
 Because when you look at what this journey entails,

00:08:13.420 --> 00:08:15.699
 he says to them in verse 33,

00:08:15.939 --> 00:08:18.740
 See, we are going up to Jerusalem.

00:08:19.340 --> 00:08:20.939
 And he outlines the purpose.

00:08:21.100 --> 00:08:25.800
 The Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the scribes

00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:27.620
 and they will condemn him to death

00:08:27.620 --> 00:08:30.600
 and deliver him over to the Gentiles.

00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:31.680
 And so it goes on.

00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:35.879
 This is the purpose for which Jesus has come.

00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.919
 And since Jesus began his earthly ministry,

00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:44.519
 he has been teaching the disciples who he called to follow

00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:46.399
 and all who are in his hearing,

00:08:46.500 --> 00:08:50.120
 he was teaching them of the purpose of his coming.

00:08:50.740 --> 00:08:54.939
 He was revealing it to them again and again.

00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:58.639
 He has called them to follow him.

00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:02.240
 And he has been telling them who he is.

00:09:02.340 --> 00:09:04.860
 And they believed so much about Jesus.

00:09:05.419 --> 00:09:08.120
 They believed he was a great teacher.

00:09:08.259 --> 00:09:10.799
 They believed he was a great prophet.

00:09:11.939 --> 00:09:15.299
 But yet they were still missing out on so much.

00:09:15.379 --> 00:09:18.720
 Again, you go back to that event in chapter 4

00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:20.259
 when he was with them in the boat

00:09:20.259 --> 00:09:22.240
 and they were astonished and they said,

00:09:22.580 --> 00:09:23.580
 Who is this?

00:09:24.460 --> 00:09:26.759
 When they had seen Jesus by his word,

00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:32.600
 calm the wind and the waves to be a peaceful, calm sea.

00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:34.519
 They were amazed.

00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:35.480
 Who is this?

00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:38.620
 And it's almost like they still have this question

00:09:38.620 --> 00:09:40.580
 in the back of their mind,

00:09:40.779 --> 00:09:44.899
 even at this point as they're just about arriving in Jerusalem.

00:09:45.100 --> 00:09:47.019
 Who is this?

00:09:47.019 --> 00:09:50.779
 They believed that the rabbi,

00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:53.439
 their teacher as he was, Jesus,

00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:57.000
 that he was going to deliver his people

00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:58.879
 from the domination of Rome.

00:09:59.620 --> 00:10:04.159
 They believed that Jesus was going to restore God's people.

00:10:04.899 --> 00:10:09.000
 They believed that he would be the king of Israel.

00:10:09.139 --> 00:10:12.100
 And all of these things they were right with.

00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:14.740
 But where they were going wrong

00:10:14.740 --> 00:10:17.820
 was just how this was going to happen

00:10:17.820 --> 00:10:20.340
 and when this was going to happen.

00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:23.320
 They expected it to be done in a way

00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:25.899
 that they could understand.

00:10:26.940 --> 00:10:29.980
 And because it wasn't going the way they expected,

00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:33.000
 their feelings were all over the place.

00:10:34.259 --> 00:10:36.120
 And so as Jesus tells them

00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:38.279
 for the third time here

00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:40.220
 that they are going up to Jerusalem

00:10:40.220 --> 00:10:42.040
 for this very purpose,

00:10:43.019 --> 00:10:45.980
 they're still not understanding.

00:10:47.800 --> 00:10:50.720
 The disciples believed that everything

00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:53.660
 was going to be right in their own lifetime.

00:10:54.500 --> 00:10:56.500
 They believed that Jesus was on the verge

00:10:56.500 --> 00:10:59.379
 of his kingdom coming in power

00:10:59.379 --> 00:11:01.100
 and that he was going to rule.

00:11:01.860 --> 00:11:04.620
 But they didn't see that what God was doing

00:11:04.620 --> 00:11:07.220
 was beyond anything that they could imagine.

00:11:07.220 --> 00:11:10.300
 that it went beyond their situation,

00:11:10.300 --> 00:11:12.279
 that it went beyond their setting

00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:13.460
 and their time.

00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.399
 It went down to generation after generation

00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:19.720
 that God was building his kingdom

00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:21.420
 and his kingdom was going to come

00:11:21.420 --> 00:11:23.259
 in an even greater way

00:11:23.259 --> 00:11:24.480
 than they could ever imagine.

00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:29.440
 That God was restoring his people

00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:32.240
 through Jesus giving himself,

00:11:32.379 --> 00:11:34.519
 as we see in this passage,

00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:36.540
 as a ransom for many.

00:11:37.220 --> 00:11:41.180
 When Jesus predicted his death

00:11:41.180 --> 00:11:43.259
 three times in the Gospel of Mark,

00:11:43.700 --> 00:11:45.180
 you find that each time

00:11:45.180 --> 00:11:46.480
 that he tells his people

00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:47.860
 what is to take place,

00:11:48.460 --> 00:11:50.860
 there is a sense of confusion.

00:11:52.139 --> 00:11:54.740
 There is a sense of misunderstanding.

00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:57.540
 If he has really come to put the world in order,

00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.860
 how is his death going to accomplish this?

00:12:02.019 --> 00:12:04.259
 It just seemed absurd.

00:12:04.259 --> 00:12:09.279
 But Jesus has his purpose.

00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:11.539
 He is going to Jerusalem

00:12:11.539 --> 00:12:14.519
 and they are afraid and astonished.

00:12:17.019 --> 00:12:19.319
 But Jesus is here reminding them

00:12:19.319 --> 00:12:20.480
 of the question that he had

00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:22.860
 in chapter 8, verse 29,

00:12:23.299 --> 00:12:23.779
 where he says,

00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:26.159
 Who do you say that I am?

00:12:26.179 --> 00:12:27.960
 It keeps coming back to this.

00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:29.159
 It's not about your feelings.

00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:32.519
 It's not about what you think should happen

00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:34.379
 or how it should happen,

00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:37.299
 but who do you say that I am?

00:12:38.620 --> 00:12:41.240
 And that's the same for ourselves today as well.

00:12:41.299 --> 00:12:44.439
 When life isn't going maybe the way that we expected

00:12:44.439 --> 00:12:47.620
 or the church isn't going the way that we would want it,

00:12:47.959 --> 00:12:49.279
 all of these things,

00:12:49.419 --> 00:12:50.639
 we come back to see,

00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:54.240
 well, what is the foundation of our church?

00:12:54.580 --> 00:12:57.100
 What is the foundation of our faith?

00:12:58.080 --> 00:12:59.840
 It is the one who asks of us,

00:13:00.100 --> 00:13:02.220
 Who do you say that I am?

00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:06.100
 Do we see that it is the Christ

00:13:06.100 --> 00:13:10.259
 and that his word is our security?

00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:12.460
 Not our feelings,

00:13:13.620 --> 00:13:16.120
 but our faith in him.

00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:19.860
 Martin Luther once famously said,

00:13:19.860 --> 00:13:22.440
 Feelings come and feelings go

00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:24.639
 and feelings are deceiving.

00:13:25.139 --> 00:13:27.779
 My warrant is the word of God.

00:13:28.500 --> 00:13:30.519
 Not else is worth believing.

00:13:31.379 --> 00:13:34.240
 I'll trust in God's unchanging word

00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:36.620
 till soul and body sever.

00:13:37.419 --> 00:13:40.600
 For though all things shall pass away,

00:13:41.220 --> 00:13:44.120
 his word shall stand forever.

00:13:44.920 --> 00:13:47.300
 Feelings come and feelings go

00:13:47.300 --> 00:13:49.180
 and feelings are deceiving.

00:13:49.860 --> 00:13:51.220
 But we can say the same.

00:13:51.340 --> 00:13:54.419
 My warrant is the word of God.

00:13:54.980 --> 00:13:58.080
 Not else is worth believing.

00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:01.940
 And that's what Jesus is teaching them here.

00:14:02.340 --> 00:14:04.139
 In their mixed up feelings,

00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:07.759
 it is to see that the word that he is speaking,

00:14:08.139 --> 00:14:10.759
 it will stand forever.

00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:14.179
 And that is our hope today as well.

00:14:14.179 --> 00:14:16.559
 Faith is not on feelings.

00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:20.100
 Faith is on the word of God

00:14:20.100 --> 00:14:25.019
 and the promises given through Jesus in that word.

00:14:25.980 --> 00:14:27.759
 And the question comes to us,

00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:29.659
 do we believe?

00:14:31.019 --> 00:14:34.059
 Who do we say that this man is?

00:14:34.059 --> 00:14:38.339
 Is he the Christ who has come into the world?

00:14:39.619 --> 00:14:41.479
 Well, we have these mixed up feelings,

00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:43.239
 but we also see, secondly here,

00:14:43.359 --> 00:14:44.699
 mixed up questions.

00:14:46.259 --> 00:14:47.859
 You can almost ask yourself,

00:14:47.939 --> 00:14:50.119
 have the disciples learned anything

00:14:50.119 --> 00:14:51.939
 in all their experience with Jesus,

00:14:52.139 --> 00:14:54.419
 given that this is the third time

00:14:54.419 --> 00:14:56.799
 that he's told them that his death

00:14:56.799 --> 00:14:57.899
 is going to come

00:14:57.899 --> 00:15:00.000
 as they make their way up to Jerusalem?

00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:02.000
 Have they learned anything

00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:03.779
 from their experience with him?

00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:08.299
 And when you look at chapter 8, 9, and 10,

00:15:08.379 --> 00:15:09.659
 in each of these chapters,

00:15:10.220 --> 00:15:12.419
 Jesus tells them his purpose

00:15:12.419 --> 00:15:13.840
 in coming into the world

00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:16.639
 is that he is going to give his life.

00:15:16.740 --> 00:15:19.299
 In chapter 8, verse 31,

00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:21.659
 he began to teach them

00:15:21.659 --> 00:15:24.139
 that the Son of Man must suffer many things

00:15:24.139 --> 00:15:26.240
 and be rejected by the elders

00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:27.980
 and the chief priests and the scribes

00:15:27.980 --> 00:15:30.779
 and be killed, and after three days,

00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:32.879
 rise again.

00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:36.420
 In chapter 9, verse 31,

00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:39.019
 for he was teaching his disciples,

00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:39.779
 saying to them,

00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:41.620
 the Son of Man is going to be delivered

00:15:41.620 --> 00:15:42.940
 into the hands of men,

00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:44.399
 and they will kill him,

00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:45.500
 and when he is killed,

00:15:45.539 --> 00:15:48.340
 after three days, he will rise.

00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:50.500
 And then we have it again

00:15:50.500 --> 00:15:52.779
 in chapter 10 here,

00:15:53.740 --> 00:15:55.539
 in verse 33, as we've read,

00:15:55.539 --> 00:15:57.299
 to verse 34.

00:15:58.039 --> 00:15:59.779
 See, we are going up to Jerusalem,

00:15:59.879 --> 00:16:00.579
 and so on.

00:16:01.079 --> 00:16:03.620
 Three times he has told them.

00:16:04.839 --> 00:16:05.980
 And you would think by now

00:16:05.980 --> 00:16:07.039
 they're going to understand,

00:16:07.219 --> 00:16:08.299
 they're going to get it,

00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:11.399
 that this is why Jesus has come.

00:16:11.779 --> 00:16:13.740
 Surely, at least by this third time.

00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:16.959
 The first time you see Jesus telling them,

00:16:17.079 --> 00:16:18.459
 well, he has to tell Peter

00:16:18.459 --> 00:16:20.179
 to get behind me, Satan.

00:16:20.719 --> 00:16:23.099
 If we do not know what you are talking about,

00:16:23.100 --> 00:16:24.259
 the things of God,

00:16:24.779 --> 00:16:26.840
 your mind is not on the things of God,

00:16:26.899 --> 00:16:28.100
 but on the things of man,

00:16:28.139 --> 00:16:30.159
 in verse 33 of chapter 8.

00:16:30.820 --> 00:16:32.240
 So there was a misunderstanding.

00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:33.320
 They didn't get it.

00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:36.960
 The same is true in chapter 9,

00:16:37.019 --> 00:16:38.180
 after he's told them.

00:16:38.220 --> 00:16:39.659
 What do they start speaking about?

00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:41.100
 They start speaking about,

00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:42.540
 in verse 33,

00:16:43.040 --> 00:16:44.399
 who is the greatest?

00:16:45.860 --> 00:16:46.899
 Who is the greatest?

00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:49.100
 Their minds go to something

00:16:49.100 --> 00:16:50.220
 completely different.

00:16:50.220 --> 00:16:52.000
 So surely this time

00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:53.240
 they're going to get it.

00:16:54.180 --> 00:16:55.000
 But no.

00:16:56.019 --> 00:16:57.019
 What do they have?

00:16:57.860 --> 00:16:59.480
 After they've been told this,

00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:01.440
 you'd think they'd have questions.

00:17:02.460 --> 00:17:04.700
 But even their questions are mixed up.

00:17:05.380 --> 00:17:07.240
 They almost don't know what to ask.

00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:10.180
 So as in verse 35 it says,

00:17:10.339 --> 00:17:11.259
 James and John,

00:17:11.339 --> 00:17:12.460
 the sons of Sebedee,

00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:13.880
 came to him and said to him,

00:17:14.299 --> 00:17:14.680
 Teacher,

00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:17.380
 you would maybe expect,

00:17:18.220 --> 00:17:19.680
 help us understand.

00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:23.200
 Teach us what this actually means.

00:17:23.360 --> 00:17:25.279
 Teach us what it will mean for us.

00:17:25.340 --> 00:17:27.200
 But what do they say in verse 35?

00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:27.840
 Teacher,

00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:30.420
 we want you to do for us

00:17:30.420 --> 00:17:32.160
 whatever we ask of you.

00:17:33.320 --> 00:17:33.840
 And you might think,

00:17:33.900 --> 00:17:34.380
 well okay,

00:17:35.060 --> 00:17:36.299
 what do they want?

00:17:36.340 --> 00:17:38.100
 And that's exactly what Jesus says to them.

00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:40.220
 What do you want me to do for you?

00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:41.240
 And look at the reply.

00:17:41.420 --> 00:17:44.539
 Grant us to sit one at your right hand

00:17:44.539 --> 00:17:46.240
 and one at your left

00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:48.059
 in your glory.

00:17:50.220 --> 00:17:52.299
 Grant us to sit one at your right,

00:17:52.700 --> 00:17:54.099
 one at your left

00:17:54.099 --> 00:17:56.559
 in your glory.

00:17:57.680 --> 00:17:58.940
 There's almost no thought

00:17:58.940 --> 00:18:01.799
 of what Jesus is going to do for them.

00:18:02.139 --> 00:18:04.579
 How glory is going to come to them.

00:18:04.579 --> 00:18:07.240
 They think it's going to be easy.

00:18:08.439 --> 00:18:11.139
 They want all this glory.

00:18:11.259 --> 00:18:12.419
 They want the crown.

00:18:13.299 --> 00:18:15.279
 But they don't want the cross.

00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:17.679
 They don't want that suffering.

00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:19.839
 They don't want any of that.

00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:22.579
 And there's the problem.

00:18:23.099 --> 00:18:24.699
 And perhaps in the back of their mind

00:18:24.699 --> 00:18:27.059
 is the account of the rich young ruler

00:18:27.059 --> 00:18:30.960
 and the cost of following Jesus.

00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:33.779
 That's at the end of that section

00:18:33.779 --> 00:18:36.319
 in verse 29 of this chapter

00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:37.500
 to verse 31.

00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:39.379
 You know, there's the cost.

00:18:39.619 --> 00:18:40.539
 Truly I say to you,

00:18:40.579 --> 00:18:42.299
 there is no one who has left house

00:18:42.299 --> 00:18:44.200
 or brothers or sisters or mother,

00:18:44.659 --> 00:18:45.339
 so on.

00:18:46.339 --> 00:18:47.240
 There's a cost.

00:18:48.639 --> 00:18:49.179
 And it's almost like

00:18:49.179 --> 00:18:50.720
 as we come into verse 35,

00:18:50.940 --> 00:18:52.399
 that's maybe in the back of their minds.

00:18:52.879 --> 00:18:54.819
 They're wanting something out of this.

00:18:54.819 --> 00:18:56.200
 They're wanting glory.

00:18:57.059 --> 00:18:59.579
 But they don't grasp

00:18:59.579 --> 00:19:01.579
 what the cost is

00:19:01.579 --> 00:19:04.359
 that Jesus is going to pay.

00:19:04.679 --> 00:19:06.500
 If only they truly knew

00:19:06.500 --> 00:19:07.859
 who was before them.

00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:10.599
 If only they could truly understand

00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:12.819
 what he was about to do.

00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:15.319
 What his death actually meant.

00:19:15.679 --> 00:19:18.359
 The price that was being paid.

00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:21.240
 Why did he have to tell them so often

00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:22.839
 what had to happen?

00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:25.440
 Why did he leave a remembrance

00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:27.860
 before the crucifixion,

00:19:27.940 --> 00:19:29.140
 that he gave this remembrance,

00:19:29.360 --> 00:19:30.880
 the Lord's Supper,

00:19:31.120 --> 00:19:33.880
 to do this in remembrance of me?

00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:36.220
 Because we forget.

00:19:36.860 --> 00:19:38.900
 Because we are a forgetful people

00:19:38.900 --> 00:19:41.220
 where we want all the glory,

00:19:41.220 --> 00:19:43.319
 glory,

00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:44.559
 but none of the dirty work.

00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:47.200
 Jesus came

00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:49.420
 to give his life.

00:19:50.140 --> 00:19:51.779
 But the problem with the disciples

00:19:51.779 --> 00:19:53.519
 is just like us,

00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:56.720
 pride so often takes over.

00:19:57.319 --> 00:19:58.539
 We want glory.

00:20:00.220 --> 00:20:01.140
 When you think about

00:20:01.140 --> 00:20:02.740
 what they're asking for here,

00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:04.660
 grant us to sit

00:20:04.660 --> 00:20:05.980
 one at your right hand

00:20:05.980 --> 00:20:07.600
 and one at your left

00:20:07.600 --> 00:20:08.480
 in your glory.

00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:11.460
 You wonder what they thought

00:20:11.460 --> 00:20:12.940
 as Jesus was crucified

00:20:12.940 --> 00:20:14.420
 with a thief,

00:20:14.660 --> 00:20:15.720
 one on the right

00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:17.400
 and one on the left.

00:20:18.940 --> 00:20:20.059
 And one of these thieves

00:20:20.059 --> 00:20:21.140
 actually crying out,

00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:22.480
 remember me

00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:24.240
 when you're in paradise.

00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:29.079
 The humility that was seen

00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:30.140
 there on the cross

00:20:30.140 --> 00:20:32.700
 of Jesus giving himself.

00:20:33.860 --> 00:20:35.360
 They would understand

00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:36.799
 eventually.

00:20:37.740 --> 00:20:38.619
 And that's what Jesus

00:20:38.619 --> 00:20:39.719
 makes clear here.

00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:41.000
 You don't understand

00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:42.319
 at this point,

00:20:42.379 --> 00:20:43.399
 are you able to drink

00:20:43.399 --> 00:20:44.500
 the cup that I drink

00:20:44.500 --> 00:20:45.179
 or be baptized

00:20:45.179 --> 00:20:46.740
 with a baptism

00:20:46.740 --> 00:20:47.740
 which I am baptized?

00:20:49.199 --> 00:20:50.379
 He's saying at this point,

00:20:50.500 --> 00:20:51.839
 you don't understand.

00:20:53.199 --> 00:20:54.679
 But then he says

00:20:54.679 --> 00:20:57.179
 in the end of verse 39,

00:20:57.419 --> 00:20:58.459
 the cup that I drink,

00:20:58.539 --> 00:20:59.319
 you will drink.

00:20:59.740 --> 00:21:00.439
 And the baptism

00:21:00.439 --> 00:21:01.419
 with which I am baptized,

00:21:01.419 --> 00:21:02.579
 you will be baptized.

00:21:02.579 --> 00:21:05.500
 So they will receive this.

00:21:06.379 --> 00:21:06.980
 And as you see

00:21:06.980 --> 00:21:07.779
 with the disciples

00:21:07.779 --> 00:21:08.679
 as they go on,

00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:10.359
 after the crucifixion,

00:21:10.439 --> 00:21:11.579
 many of them suffered

00:21:11.579 --> 00:21:12.679
 greatly.

00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:15.079
 But at this point,

00:21:15.159 --> 00:21:16.519
 they just don't understand.

00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:17.579
 And that's the danger

00:21:17.579 --> 00:21:18.139
 for us

00:21:18.139 --> 00:21:19.559
 to allow pride

00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:20.539
 to come in.

00:21:20.679 --> 00:21:21.799
 The Bible teaches us

00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:22.480
 again and again

00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:23.319
 about pride.

00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:24.899
 Proverbs 16,

00:21:25.019 --> 00:21:25.599
 verse 18,

00:21:25.779 --> 00:21:27.799
 pride goes before destruction

00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:29.419
 and a haughty spirit

00:21:29.419 --> 00:21:30.579
 before a fall.

00:21:30.579 --> 00:21:32.500
 1 Corinthians 10,

00:21:32.579 --> 00:21:33.099
 verse 12,

00:21:33.220 --> 00:21:34.019
 therefore let anyone

00:21:34.019 --> 00:21:35.399
 who thinks he stands

00:21:35.399 --> 00:21:37.579
 take heed lest he fall.

00:21:38.299 --> 00:21:40.319
 Pride is so dangerous.

00:21:42.740 --> 00:21:44.000
 And so as Jesus

00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:45.659
 is teaching them here

00:21:45.659 --> 00:21:47.759
 in their mixed up questions,

00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:49.779
 again he is pointing them back

00:21:49.779 --> 00:21:51.399
 towards himself

00:21:51.399 --> 00:21:53.980
 and taking their minds

00:21:53.980 --> 00:21:55.179
 off their pride

00:21:55.179 --> 00:21:56.500
 and their glory

00:21:56.500 --> 00:21:58.159
 and all of these things

00:21:58.160 --> 00:22:00.080
 and to come and see

00:22:00.080 --> 00:22:01.200
 as we see thirdly

00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:04.180
 a need for a servant's heart.

00:22:05.300 --> 00:22:06.860
 The disciples here

00:22:06.860 --> 00:22:08.140
 asked that question.

00:22:09.180 --> 00:22:10.380
 We want you to do

00:22:10.380 --> 00:22:11.259
 whatever we ask.

00:22:11.340 --> 00:22:12.240
 And Jesus says,

00:22:12.380 --> 00:22:13.279
 what do you want me

00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:14.700
 to do for you?

00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:16.620
 They wanted glory.

00:22:17.060 --> 00:22:17.779
 But if you read on

00:22:17.779 --> 00:22:18.779
 to the end of the chapter,

00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:19.940
 you see another man,

00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:21.240
 Bartimaeus,

00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:22.759
 with the same opportunity

00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:24.019
 where Jesus says,

00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:25.740
 what do you want me

00:22:25.740 --> 00:22:27.039
 to do for you?

00:22:27.099 --> 00:22:28.200
 In verse 51.

00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:29.819
 And look at the difference

00:22:29.819 --> 00:22:30.900
 in the response.

00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:32.740
 The blind man,

00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:33.380
 Bartimaeus,

00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:34.079
 came to him and said,

00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:34.819
 little rabbi,

00:22:35.420 --> 00:22:37.839
 let me recover my sight.

00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:39.819
 What would you ask

00:22:39.819 --> 00:22:41.220
 of Jesus tonight?

00:22:41.940 --> 00:22:42.980
 For glory

00:22:42.980 --> 00:22:44.799
 or for gain

00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:45.460
 in the sense

00:22:45.460 --> 00:22:47.160
 of seeing Jesus?

00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:50.440
 We can have mixed up questions,

00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:51.839
 but what we need to do

00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:53.799
 is humble ourselves

00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:55.599
 before God.

00:22:56.399 --> 00:22:57.579
 It's so easy for us

00:22:57.579 --> 00:22:58.319
 to forget

00:22:58.319 --> 00:23:00.159
 what the Lord has done

00:23:00.159 --> 00:23:01.180
 and why.

00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:02.819
 And so again,

00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:04.700
 we don't go on feelings.

00:23:05.740 --> 00:23:06.419
 We come

00:23:06.419 --> 00:23:08.220
 to the word of God

00:23:08.220 --> 00:23:09.039
 and stand

00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:10.399
 on what the word

00:23:10.399 --> 00:23:11.700
 of God says.

00:23:12.139 --> 00:23:13.359
 That he has come

00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:15.539
 to give his life.

00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:17.559
 That we might be called

00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:18.680
 the children

00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:20.039
 of God.

00:23:20.879 --> 00:23:21.740
 So we see

00:23:21.740 --> 00:23:22.759
 mixed up questions.

00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:23.299
 Thirdly,

00:23:23.339 --> 00:23:24.039
 we see here

00:23:24.039 --> 00:23:26.279
 mixed up reactions.

00:23:28.140 --> 00:23:29.579
 There's a mixture

00:23:29.579 --> 00:23:30.660
 of reactions here.

00:23:30.779 --> 00:23:31.319
 The reaction

00:23:31.319 --> 00:23:32.220
 of the James

00:23:32.220 --> 00:23:32.839
 and John

00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:33.779
 to hearing

00:23:33.779 --> 00:23:34.859
 for a third time

00:23:34.859 --> 00:23:36.079
 that Jesus will die.

00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:37.240
 The reaction

00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:38.019
 is to say

00:23:38.019 --> 00:23:38.779
 this question,

00:23:38.879 --> 00:23:39.539
 we want one

00:23:39.539 --> 00:23:40.059
 to sit

00:23:40.059 --> 00:23:41.019
 on the right

00:23:41.019 --> 00:23:41.420
 and one

00:23:41.420 --> 00:23:42.420
 to sit on the left

00:23:42.420 --> 00:23:43.279
 in your glory.

00:23:44.359 --> 00:23:44.980
 And Jesus

00:23:44.980 --> 00:23:45.859
 rebukes

00:23:45.859 --> 00:23:47.019
 James and John.

00:23:47.879 --> 00:23:48.819
 But the ten

00:23:48.819 --> 00:23:49.839
 are also there

00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:50.579
 as well.

00:23:50.579 --> 00:23:52.519
 And you notice

00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:52.980
 that

00:23:52.980 --> 00:23:55.619
 excuse me,

00:23:56.259 --> 00:23:57.019
 you notice that

00:23:57.019 --> 00:23:57.679
 when he begins

00:23:57.679 --> 00:23:58.579
 to help them

00:23:58.579 --> 00:24:00.059
 to understand.

00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:01.359
 When he talks

00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:02.139
 about the cup

00:24:02.139 --> 00:24:02.939
 and all of these

00:24:02.939 --> 00:24:03.399
 things,

00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:05.000
 you know that

00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:05.720
 all of these

00:24:05.720 --> 00:24:06.939
 things are to come.

00:24:07.699 --> 00:24:08.179
 But then he goes

00:24:08.179 --> 00:24:09.639
 on to teach them

00:24:09.639 --> 00:24:10.539
 about what it is

00:24:10.539 --> 00:24:11.919
 to serve,

00:24:12.460 --> 00:24:13.879
 to be a servant.

00:24:13.880 --> 00:24:17.160
 The other ten

00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:18.460
 were indignant,

00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:19.780
 it says.

00:24:20.520 --> 00:24:21.460
 When they heard

00:24:21.460 --> 00:24:22.780
 in verse 41,

00:24:23.080 --> 00:24:24.100
 when the ten

00:24:24.100 --> 00:24:24.560
 heard it,

00:24:24.600 --> 00:24:25.080
 they began

00:24:25.080 --> 00:24:26.180
 to be indignant

00:24:26.180 --> 00:24:27.400
 at James

00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:28.520
 and John.

00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:30.580
 You wonder

00:24:30.580 --> 00:24:31.200
 if that was

00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:32.780
 their first reaction.

00:24:34.100 --> 00:24:34.760
 You wonder

00:24:34.760 --> 00:24:35.680
 if when they heard

00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:36.940
 James and John

00:24:36.940 --> 00:24:38.200
 ask this question,

00:24:38.740 --> 00:24:39.300
 that would come

00:24:39.300 --> 00:24:40.160
 into our heart

00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:40.580
 as well

00:24:40.580 --> 00:24:40.980
 and say,

00:24:41.760 --> 00:24:42.540
 wish I'd

00:24:42.540 --> 00:24:43.640
 asked that first.

00:24:43.880 --> 00:24:46.480
 Wouldn't it be great

00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:47.460
 if I could sit

00:24:47.460 --> 00:24:48.460
 on the right

00:24:48.460 --> 00:24:49.140
 or on the left

00:24:49.140 --> 00:24:49.720
 of Jesus

00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:50.420
 in glory?

00:24:50.740 --> 00:24:51.360
 You can almost

00:24:51.360 --> 00:24:52.560
 imagine the other ten

00:24:52.560 --> 00:24:53.760
 thinking these thoughts

00:24:53.760 --> 00:24:55.540
 because it's most

00:24:55.540 --> 00:24:56.420
 naturally what we

00:24:56.420 --> 00:24:57.600
 might think ourselves

00:24:57.600 --> 00:24:58.720
 if we heard somebody

00:24:58.720 --> 00:25:00.520
 asking Jesus that.

00:25:01.420 --> 00:25:02.340
 But the reply

00:25:02.340 --> 00:25:03.640
 after Jesus

00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:04.800
 has rebuked them,

00:25:05.280 --> 00:25:06.260
 when he says to them,

00:25:06.360 --> 00:25:07.100
 you don't know

00:25:07.100 --> 00:25:08.180
 what you are asking,

00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:09.540
 the response

00:25:09.540 --> 00:25:10.280
 of the ten

00:25:10.280 --> 00:25:11.480
 is then this

00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:13.340
 indignant response

00:25:13.339 --> 00:25:14.379
 towards James

00:25:14.379 --> 00:25:14.879
 and John.

00:25:14.959 --> 00:25:15.299
 They're almost

00:25:15.299 --> 00:25:16.379
 tut-tutting

00:25:16.379 --> 00:25:17.319
 James and John

00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:17.559
 now,

00:25:17.639 --> 00:25:18.379
 forever daring

00:25:18.379 --> 00:25:19.339
 to think of

00:25:19.339 --> 00:25:20.720
 asking that question.

00:25:21.899 --> 00:25:22.839
 But the thing is

00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:23.779
 that as you see

00:25:23.779 --> 00:25:24.919
 Jesus teaching

00:25:24.919 --> 00:25:25.500
 here,

00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:26.939
 you see that

00:25:26.939 --> 00:25:27.699
 Jesus sees

00:25:27.699 --> 00:25:28.599
 into the hearts

00:25:28.599 --> 00:25:29.759
 of all.

00:25:30.619 --> 00:25:31.359
 Not just

00:25:31.359 --> 00:25:32.339
 James and John

00:25:32.339 --> 00:25:32.980
 who had asked

00:25:32.980 --> 00:25:33.679
 the question,

00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:35.399
 but the other ten

00:25:35.399 --> 00:25:36.099
 as well.

00:25:36.899 --> 00:25:37.799
 But when you see

00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:38.839
 in verse 42,

00:25:39.159 --> 00:25:39.639
 it says,

00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:40.900
 Jesus called

00:25:40.900 --> 00:25:41.720
 them to him

00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:42.320
 and said

00:25:42.320 --> 00:25:42.920
 to them,

00:25:42.980 --> 00:25:43.640
 this is them

00:25:43.640 --> 00:25:45.040
 all together,

00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:46.900
 you know

00:25:46.900 --> 00:25:47.700
 that those

00:25:47.700 --> 00:25:48.640
 who are considered

00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:49.620
 rulers of the

00:25:49.620 --> 00:25:50.280
 Gentiles

00:25:50.280 --> 00:25:51.840
 lorded over

00:25:51.840 --> 00:25:52.300
 them,

00:25:52.620 --> 00:25:52.980
 and their

00:25:52.980 --> 00:25:53.740
 great ones

00:25:53.740 --> 00:25:54.280
 exercise

00:25:54.280 --> 00:25:55.500
 authority over

00:25:55.500 --> 00:25:55.740
 them,

00:25:56.160 --> 00:25:56.900
 but it shall

00:25:56.900 --> 00:25:58.200
 not be so

00:25:58.200 --> 00:25:59.500
 among you.

00:26:01.200 --> 00:26:02.080
 He is saying

00:26:02.080 --> 00:26:02.920
 this is not

00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:03.980
 to be you.

00:26:04.940 --> 00:26:05.580
 Instead,

00:26:06.460 --> 00:26:07.200
 you are to

00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:07.740
 have a

00:26:07.740 --> 00:26:08.440
 servant's

00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:08.759
 heart,

00:26:09.140 --> 00:26:09.940
 but whoever

00:26:09.940 --> 00:26:10.480
 would be

00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:11.360
 great among

00:26:11.360 --> 00:26:12.720
 you must

00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:13.559
 be your

00:26:13.559 --> 00:26:14.180
 servant,

00:26:14.299 --> 00:26:14.799
 and whoever

00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:15.759
 would be

00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:16.759
 first among

00:26:16.759 --> 00:26:17.740
 you must

00:26:17.740 --> 00:26:18.640
 be slave,

00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:19.220
 which is the

00:26:19.220 --> 00:26:19.799
 same word,

00:26:19.980 --> 00:26:21.400
 servant of

00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:21.880
 all.

00:26:22.980 --> 00:26:23.519
 So they are

00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:24.740
 told this is

00:26:24.740 --> 00:26:25.779
 what our

00:26:25.779 --> 00:26:26.519
 hearts are

00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:27.279
 to be like,

00:26:28.140 --> 00:26:28.900
 not looking

00:26:28.900 --> 00:26:30.019
 for glory,

00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:31.539
 but for giving

00:26:31.539 --> 00:26:33.140
 service to

00:26:33.140 --> 00:26:33.700
 the Lord.

00:26:33.700 --> 00:26:33.779
 the Lord.

00:26:35.380 --> 00:26:35.840
 Why?

00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:37.360
 Well,

00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:38.259
 Jesus gives

00:26:38.259 --> 00:26:38.620
 them the

00:26:38.620 --> 00:26:39.360
 reason why.

00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:39.779
 In verse

00:26:39.779 --> 00:26:40.519
 45,

00:26:41.100 --> 00:26:41.620
 for even

00:26:41.620 --> 00:26:42.400
 the Son of

00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:43.120
 Man came

00:26:43.120 --> 00:26:44.019
 not to be

00:26:44.019 --> 00:26:44.700
 served,

00:26:45.120 --> 00:26:45.660
 but to

00:26:45.660 --> 00:26:46.460
 serve and

00:26:46.460 --> 00:26:46.799
 to give

00:26:46.799 --> 00:26:47.380
 his life

00:26:47.380 --> 00:26:48.220
 as a

00:26:48.220 --> 00:26:49.000
 ransom for

00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:49.319
 many.

00:26:50.519 --> 00:26:51.160
 There is

00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:51.819
 the reason.

00:26:52.500 --> 00:26:53.019
 Not just

00:26:53.019 --> 00:26:53.420
 why the

00:26:53.420 --> 00:26:54.360
 disciples should

00:26:54.360 --> 00:26:54.860
 have that

00:26:54.860 --> 00:26:55.720
 servant heart,

00:26:55.940 --> 00:26:56.840
 but every

00:26:56.840 --> 00:26:57.960
 one of

00:26:57.960 --> 00:26:58.380
 Jesus'

00:26:58.640 --> 00:26:59.019
 followers

00:26:59.019 --> 00:26:59.779
 should have

00:26:59.779 --> 00:27:01.000
 the servant

00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:01.580
 heart.

00:27:01.900 --> 00:27:02.539
 Servant,

00:27:02.539 --> 00:27:03.359
 as the

00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:04.019
 word has

00:27:04.019 --> 00:27:04.519
 here.

00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:05.659
 When you

00:27:05.659 --> 00:27:06.000
 look at

00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:06.579
 its meaning

00:27:06.579 --> 00:27:07.480
 in the

00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:07.839
 Greek,

00:27:07.980 --> 00:27:08.379
 it has

00:27:08.379 --> 00:27:08.779
 that

00:27:08.779 --> 00:27:09.960
 servant,

00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:10.899
 slave

00:27:10.899 --> 00:27:12.159
 mindset.

00:27:13.019 --> 00:27:13.579
 It also

00:27:13.579 --> 00:27:14.059
 has and

00:27:14.059 --> 00:27:14.700
 is used

00:27:14.700 --> 00:27:15.099
 for

00:27:15.099 --> 00:27:16.220
 deacon

00:27:16.220 --> 00:27:17.359
 or minister.

00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:18.059
 It's used

00:27:18.059 --> 00:27:18.379
 in the

00:27:18.379 --> 00:27:19.099
 same way.

00:27:19.639 --> 00:27:20.159
 And behind

00:27:20.159 --> 00:27:20.680
 it all

00:27:20.680 --> 00:27:21.039
 is the

00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:21.819
 same thing,

00:27:22.740 --> 00:27:23.720
 that we

00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:24.399
 are not

00:27:24.399 --> 00:27:25.500
 our own.

00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:27.159
 As one

00:27:27.159 --> 00:27:27.859
 person put

00:27:27.859 --> 00:27:28.039
 it,

00:27:28.399 --> 00:27:29.399
 both words

00:27:29.399 --> 00:27:30.079
 denote a

00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:30.559
 man who

00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:31.079
 is not

00:27:31.079 --> 00:27:31.460
 at his

00:27:31.460 --> 00:27:31.819
 own

00:27:31.819 --> 00:27:32.579
 disposal,

00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:33.659
 but is

00:27:33.659 --> 00:27:33.899
 his

00:27:33.899 --> 00:27:34.759
 master's

00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:35.439
 purchased

00:27:35.439 --> 00:27:36.319
 property,

00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:37.619
 bought to

00:27:37.619 --> 00:27:38.500
 serve his

00:27:38.500 --> 00:27:39.279
 master's

00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:39.639
 needs,

00:27:39.899 --> 00:27:40.599
 to be at

00:27:40.599 --> 00:27:40.819
 his

00:27:40.819 --> 00:27:41.379
 beg and

00:27:41.379 --> 00:27:42.700
 call every

00:27:42.700 --> 00:27:43.399
 moment the

00:27:43.399 --> 00:27:44.240
 slave's

00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:45.619
 sole business

00:27:45.619 --> 00:27:46.899
 is to do

00:27:46.899 --> 00:27:47.700
 as he

00:27:47.700 --> 00:27:48.980
 is told.

00:27:50.399 --> 00:27:51.059
 That goes

00:27:51.059 --> 00:27:51.819
 for all

00:27:51.819 --> 00:27:52.559
 who are

00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:53.119
 servants

00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:54.319
 of Christ.

00:27:55.220 --> 00:27:55.720
 We are

00:27:55.720 --> 00:27:56.859
 not our

00:27:56.859 --> 00:27:57.240
 own.

00:27:57.359 --> 00:27:57.659
 We are

00:27:57.659 --> 00:27:58.240
 purchased

00:27:58.240 --> 00:27:59.279
 with a

00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:00.180
 price to

00:28:00.180 --> 00:28:00.859
 serve

00:28:00.859 --> 00:28:01.680
 our

00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:02.220
 master.

00:28:05.339 --> 00:28:05.799
 And so

00:28:05.799 --> 00:28:06.180
 we are

00:28:06.180 --> 00:28:06.839
 to live

00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:07.859
 for our

00:28:07.859 --> 00:28:08.420
 saviour

00:28:08.420 --> 00:28:10.299
 because we

00:28:10.299 --> 00:28:11.460
 see what

00:28:11.460 --> 00:28:11.880
 he has

00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:12.539
 done for

00:28:12.539 --> 00:28:12.839
 us.

00:28:12.920 --> 00:28:13.259
 For even

00:28:13.259 --> 00:28:13.720
 the son

00:28:13.720 --> 00:28:14.319
 of man

00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:15.500
 came not

00:28:15.500 --> 00:28:15.880
 to be

00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:16.519
 served,

00:28:16.620 --> 00:28:16.960
 but to

00:28:16.960 --> 00:28:17.400
 serve.

00:28:18.180 --> 00:28:18.539
 And so

00:28:18.539 --> 00:28:19.079
 if Jesus

00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:20.160
 himself came

00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:20.559
 with his

00:28:20.559 --> 00:28:21.079
 mindset

00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:22.259
 not to

00:28:22.259 --> 00:28:22.960
 be served,

00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:23.579
 the one

00:28:23.579 --> 00:28:23.900
 who if

00:28:23.900 --> 00:28:24.259
 anyone

00:28:24.259 --> 00:28:25.079
 deserved it

00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:25.759
 was him,

00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:26.900
 but no,

00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:27.619
 he came

00:28:27.619 --> 00:28:28.559
 to serve

00:28:28.559 --> 00:28:29.279
 and to

00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:29.859
 give his

00:28:29.859 --> 00:28:31.039
 life as

00:28:31.039 --> 00:28:31.680
 a ransom

00:28:31.680 --> 00:28:32.900
 for many.

00:28:34.259 --> 00:28:34.519
 And so

00:28:34.519 --> 00:28:35.059
 that's what

00:28:35.059 --> 00:28:35.660
 he asks

00:28:35.660 --> 00:28:36.460
 of his

00:28:36.460 --> 00:28:37.819
 people today.

00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:39.640
 Not to

00:28:39.640 --> 00:28:40.900
 seek glory,

00:28:41.819 --> 00:28:42.420
 but to

00:28:42.420 --> 00:28:43.519
 seek service.

00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:45.559
 To see

00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:46.319
 that he

00:28:46.319 --> 00:28:46.960
 has bought

00:28:46.960 --> 00:28:47.599
 us with

00:28:47.599 --> 00:28:48.240
 a price.

00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:48.900
 To see

00:28:48.900 --> 00:28:49.799
 what he

00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:50.619
 has done

00:28:50.619 --> 00:28:51.960
 for us

00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:53.240
 and that

00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:53.660
 we are

00:28:53.660 --> 00:28:54.160
 fellow

00:28:54.160 --> 00:28:54.980
 servants

00:28:54.980 --> 00:28:55.880
 together.

00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:57.400
 Willing

00:28:57.400 --> 00:28:58.059
 to do

00:28:58.059 --> 00:28:59.019
 whatever

00:28:59.019 --> 00:28:59.839
 he

00:28:59.839 --> 00:29:00.380
 commands.

00:29:03.140 --> 00:29:03.740
 That's

00:29:03.740 --> 00:29:04.059
 what the

00:29:04.059 --> 00:29:04.559
 love of

00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:05.059
 Christ

00:29:05.059 --> 00:29:06.299
 has done

00:29:06.299 --> 00:29:06.980
 for us.

00:29:07.700 --> 00:29:07.940
 And when

00:29:07.940 --> 00:29:08.240
 you see

00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:08.980
 the example

00:29:08.980 --> 00:29:09.660
 of Jesus

00:29:09.660 --> 00:29:10.279
 that even

00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:12.460
 as he

00:29:12.460 --> 00:29:13.079
 sat around

00:29:13.079 --> 00:29:13.779
 the table

00:29:13.779 --> 00:29:14.180
 with his

00:29:14.180 --> 00:29:14.680
 disciples,

00:29:14.860 --> 00:29:15.539
 he washed

00:29:15.539 --> 00:29:16.259
 his

00:29:16.259 --> 00:29:16.920
 disciples'

00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:17.720
 feet.

00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:19.559
 All that

00:29:19.559 --> 00:29:19.980
 he did

00:29:19.980 --> 00:29:21.019
 for his

00:29:21.019 --> 00:29:21.579
 people,

00:29:22.380 --> 00:29:22.900
 all that

00:29:22.900 --> 00:29:23.599
 he gave,

00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:25.299
 we are

00:29:25.299 --> 00:29:25.639
 to be

00:29:25.639 --> 00:29:26.559
 servants,

00:29:27.480 --> 00:29:27.859
 not

00:29:27.859 --> 00:29:28.319
 seekers

00:29:28.319 --> 00:29:29.359
 of glory

00:29:29.359 --> 00:29:30.079
 for

00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:30.919
 ourselves.

00:29:32.179 --> 00:29:32.639
 David

00:29:32.639 --> 00:29:33.219
 Livingston,

00:29:33.639 --> 00:29:34.119
 famous

00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:34.980
 missionary to

00:29:34.980 --> 00:29:35.599
 Africa in

00:29:35.599 --> 00:29:36.759
 the 1800s,

00:29:38.259 --> 00:29:39.099
 many people

00:29:39.099 --> 00:29:40.439
 praised him

00:29:40.439 --> 00:29:41.919
 for the

00:29:41.919 --> 00:29:42.799
 sacrifice that

00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:43.480
 he made in

00:29:43.480 --> 00:29:44.039
 leaving his

00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:44.639
 home and

00:29:44.639 --> 00:29:45.519
 going to

00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:46.179
 serve the

00:29:46.179 --> 00:29:47.159
 Lord in

00:29:47.159 --> 00:29:47.659
 a foreign

00:29:47.659 --> 00:29:48.059
 land.

00:29:48.139 --> 00:29:48.319
 But I

00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:48.619
 want to

00:29:48.619 --> 00:29:49.559
 read how

00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:49.879
 David

00:29:49.879 --> 00:29:50.500
 Livingston

00:29:50.500 --> 00:29:51.799
 himself put

00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:52.039
 it.

00:29:52.859 --> 00:29:53.339
 He said

00:29:53.339 --> 00:29:53.619
 this,

00:29:53.700 --> 00:29:54.579
 people talk

00:29:54.579 --> 00:29:55.519
 of the

00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:56.539
 sacrifice I

00:29:56.539 --> 00:29:57.160
 have made

00:29:57.160 --> 00:29:57.920
 in spending

00:29:57.920 --> 00:29:58.559
 so much

00:29:58.559 --> 00:29:58.880
 of my

00:29:58.880 --> 00:29:59.519
 life in

00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:00.039
 Africa.

00:30:01.099 --> 00:30:01.579
 Can that

00:30:01.579 --> 00:30:02.160
 be called

00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:02.980
 a sacrifice

00:30:02.980 --> 00:30:03.640
 which is

00:30:03.640 --> 00:30:04.059
 simply

00:30:04.059 --> 00:30:04.759
 acknowledging

00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:05.359
 a great

00:30:05.359 --> 00:30:05.940
 debt we

00:30:05.940 --> 00:30:06.400
 owe to

00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:07.059
 our God

00:30:07.059 --> 00:30:08.000
 which we

00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:08.599
 can never

00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:09.160
 repay?

00:30:09.880 --> 00:30:10.420
 Is that

00:30:10.420 --> 00:30:11.160
 a sacrifice

00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:11.980
 which brings

00:30:11.980 --> 00:30:12.579
 its own

00:30:12.579 --> 00:30:13.859
 reward in

00:30:13.859 --> 00:30:14.559
 healthful

00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:15.180
 activity,

00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:16.039
 the

00:30:16.039 --> 00:30:16.619
 consciousness

00:30:16.619 --> 00:30:17.420
 of doing

00:30:17.420 --> 00:30:17.839
 good,

00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:18.960
 peace of

00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:19.400
 mind,

00:30:20.019 --> 00:30:20.279
 and a

00:30:20.279 --> 00:30:21.059
 bright hope

00:30:21.059 --> 00:30:21.360
 of our

00:30:21.360 --> 00:30:21.860
 glorious

00:30:21.860 --> 00:30:22.640
 destiny?

00:30:23.620 --> 00:30:24.120
 It is

00:30:24.120 --> 00:30:24.940
 emphatically

00:30:24.940 --> 00:30:26.180
 no sacrifice,

00:30:26.660 --> 00:30:27.819
 rather it

00:30:27.819 --> 00:30:28.160
 is a

00:30:28.160 --> 00:30:28.759
 privilege.

00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:30.440
 Anxiety,

00:30:30.840 --> 00:30:31.240
 sickness,

00:30:31.579 --> 00:30:31.980
 suffering,

00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:32.660
 danger,

00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:33.740
 foregoing

00:30:33.740 --> 00:30:34.380
 the common

00:30:34.380 --> 00:30:35.319
 convenience of

00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:36.019
 this life,

00:30:36.600 --> 00:30:37.240
 these may

00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:37.799
 make us

00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:39.360
 pause and

00:30:39.360 --> 00:30:40.079
 cause the

00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:40.819
 spirit to

00:30:40.819 --> 00:30:41.860
 waver and

00:30:41.860 --> 00:30:42.420
 the soul

00:30:42.420 --> 00:30:43.140
 to sink,

00:30:43.819 --> 00:30:44.360
 but let

00:30:44.360 --> 00:30:45.019
 this only

00:30:45.019 --> 00:30:45.840
 be for a

00:30:45.840 --> 00:30:46.180
 moment.

00:30:47.019 --> 00:30:47.720
 All these

00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:48.500
 are nothing

00:30:48.500 --> 00:30:49.859
 compared with

00:30:49.859 --> 00:30:50.440
 the glory

00:30:50.440 --> 00:30:50.980
 which shall

00:30:50.980 --> 00:30:51.539
 later be

00:30:51.539 --> 00:30:52.519
 revealed in

00:30:52.519 --> 00:30:53.059
 and through

00:30:53.059 --> 00:30:53.440
 us.

00:30:54.200 --> 00:30:54.980
 I never

00:30:54.980 --> 00:30:55.839
 made a

00:30:55.839 --> 00:30:56.400
 sacrifice.

00:30:57.359 --> 00:30:57.980
 Of this

00:30:57.980 --> 00:30:58.519
 we ought

00:30:58.519 --> 00:30:59.220
 not to

00:30:59.220 --> 00:31:00.460
 talk when

00:31:00.460 --> 00:31:01.119
 we remember

00:31:01.119 --> 00:31:01.700
 the great

00:31:01.700 --> 00:31:02.380
 sacrifice

00:31:02.380 --> 00:31:03.099
 which he

00:31:03.099 --> 00:31:04.259
 made who

00:31:04.259 --> 00:31:05.000
 left his

00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:05.720
 father's

00:31:05.720 --> 00:31:06.279
 throne on

00:31:06.279 --> 00:31:07.519
 high to

00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:08.740
 give himself

00:31:08.740 --> 00:31:10.160
 for us.

00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:12.480
 Isn't

00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:13.400
 that a

00:31:13.400 --> 00:31:13.720
 great

00:31:13.720 --> 00:31:14.579
 response?

00:31:15.380 --> 00:31:15.759
 Where he

00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:16.380
 didn't see

00:31:16.380 --> 00:31:17.240
 his life

00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:18.220
 as a

00:31:18.220 --> 00:31:19.000
 sacrifice

00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:20.019
 but as

00:31:20.019 --> 00:31:20.859
 a privilege

00:31:20.859 --> 00:31:22.359
 to serve

00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:22.880
 the one

00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:23.420
 who left

00:31:23.420 --> 00:31:24.359
 the father's

00:31:24.359 --> 00:31:24.759
 throne

00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:26.099
 to give

00:31:26.099 --> 00:31:26.819
 himself

00:31:26.819 --> 00:31:28.099
 for us.

00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:29.620
 The

00:31:29.620 --> 00:31:30.539
 disciples as

00:31:30.539 --> 00:31:30.940
 we see

00:31:30.940 --> 00:31:31.620
 them here,

00:31:32.460 --> 00:31:33.079
 they had

00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:34.059
 their mixed

00:31:34.059 --> 00:31:34.859
 up feelings.

00:31:35.720 --> 00:31:36.299
 They had

00:31:36.299 --> 00:31:36.880
 all these

00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:37.680
 mixed up

00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:38.559
 emotions,

00:31:39.220 --> 00:31:39.579
 the mixed

00:31:39.579 --> 00:31:40.500
 up questions,

00:31:40.759 --> 00:31:41.140
 the mixed

00:31:41.140 --> 00:31:42.099
 up reactions,

00:31:43.099 --> 00:31:43.859
 but all

00:31:43.859 --> 00:31:44.500
 the time

00:31:44.500 --> 00:31:45.500
 they were

00:31:45.500 --> 00:31:45.980
 learning.

00:31:47.259 --> 00:31:47.759
 And so

00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:48.259
 are we.

00:31:49.140 --> 00:31:49.779
 We are

00:31:49.779 --> 00:31:50.480
 learning what

00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:51.500
 Jesus Christ

00:31:51.500 --> 00:31:52.160
 has done

00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:52.819
 for us.

00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:53.779
 And the

00:31:53.779 --> 00:31:54.240
 more that

00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:55.000
 we see

00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:55.940
 and the

00:31:55.940 --> 00:31:56.279
 more that

00:31:56.279 --> 00:31:56.960
 we believe

00:31:56.960 --> 00:31:57.480
 in him,

00:31:57.599 --> 00:31:57.940
 the more

00:31:57.940 --> 00:31:59.019
 we understand

00:31:59.019 --> 00:32:00.220
 that it's

00:32:00.220 --> 00:32:00.700
 not about

00:32:00.700 --> 00:32:01.880
 our glory

00:32:01.880 --> 00:32:03.619
 but our

00:32:03.619 --> 00:32:04.160
 humbling

00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:04.779
 ourselves

00:32:04.779 --> 00:32:06.440
 before him,

00:32:07.339 --> 00:32:07.880
 the one

00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:08.740
 who came

00:32:08.740 --> 00:32:10.039
 not to be

00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:10.700
 served but

00:32:10.700 --> 00:32:11.480
 to serve

00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:12.440
 and to

00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:12.940
 give his

00:32:12.940 --> 00:32:13.539
 life as

00:32:13.539 --> 00:32:14.099
 a ransom

00:32:14.099 --> 00:32:15.420
 for many.

00:32:16.299 --> 00:32:16.839
 In a

00:32:16.839 --> 00:32:17.319
 day of

00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:18.440
 remembrance,

00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:19.860
 may we

00:32:19.860 --> 00:32:21.220
 remember the

00:32:21.220 --> 00:32:21.700
 one who

00:32:21.700 --> 00:32:22.680
 gave his

00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:24.240
 life as

00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:24.819
 a ransom

00:32:24.819 --> 00:32:25.559
 for many

00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:27.220
 and remember

00:32:27.220 --> 00:32:28.559
 him by

00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:29.140
 humbly

00:32:29.140 --> 00:32:30.680
 serving him

00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:32.000
 and following

00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:32.539
 him,

00:32:33.460 --> 00:32:34.620
 leaning on

00:32:34.620 --> 00:32:35.519
 his word.

00:32:36.259 --> 00:32:36.720
 Let us

00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:36.960
 pray.

00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:40.100
 Lord,

00:32:40.180 --> 00:32:40.400
 our

00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:41.000
 gracious

00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:41.539
 God,

00:32:41.600 --> 00:32:41.860
 we do

00:32:41.860 --> 00:32:42.620
 thank you

00:32:42.620 --> 00:32:43.680
 for the

00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:44.539
 humble

00:32:44.539 --> 00:32:45.279
 service

00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:46.000
 of our

00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:46.740
 Lord Jesus

00:32:46.740 --> 00:32:47.440
 Christ,

00:32:48.140 --> 00:32:48.640
 the one

00:32:48.640 --> 00:32:49.019
 who did

00:32:49.019 --> 00:32:49.779
 not consider

00:32:49.779 --> 00:32:50.460
 equality

00:32:50.460 --> 00:32:51.100
 with God

00:32:51.100 --> 00:32:51.640
 a thing

00:32:51.640 --> 00:32:52.059
 to be

00:32:52.059 --> 00:32:52.700
 grasped

00:32:52.700 --> 00:32:53.980
 but made

00:32:53.980 --> 00:32:54.680
 himself

00:32:54.680 --> 00:32:55.220
 nothing.

00:32:56.039 --> 00:32:56.680
 We thank

00:32:56.680 --> 00:32:57.039
 you that

00:32:57.039 --> 00:32:57.819
 in Jesus

00:32:57.819 --> 00:32:58.460
 we see

00:32:58.460 --> 00:32:59.000
 the one

00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:00.259
 who came

00:33:00.259 --> 00:33:01.160
 and could

00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:01.840
 and perhaps

00:33:01.840 --> 00:33:02.299
 we would

00:33:02.299 --> 00:33:03.019
 say should

00:33:03.019 --> 00:33:03.340
 have been

00:33:03.340 --> 00:33:03.960
 served

00:33:03.960 --> 00:33:05.180
 and yet

00:33:05.180 --> 00:33:05.700
 we see

00:33:05.700 --> 00:33:06.000
 him

00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:07.019
 despised

00:33:07.019 --> 00:33:07.779
 and rejected.

00:33:08.700 --> 00:33:09.259
 We see

00:33:09.259 --> 00:33:09.759
 him even

00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:10.840
 here reminding

00:33:10.840 --> 00:33:11.700
 of the

00:33:11.700 --> 00:33:12.480
 very purpose

00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:12.900
 that he

00:33:12.900 --> 00:33:14.079
 came as

00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:14.480
 he made

00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:14.940
 his way

00:33:14.940 --> 00:33:15.600
 to Jerusalem

00:33:15.600 --> 00:33:16.279
 to give

00:33:16.279 --> 00:33:17.240
 his life

00:33:17.240 --> 00:33:18.299
 but that

00:33:18.299 --> 00:33:18.799
 the hope

00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:19.559
 was as

00:33:19.559 --> 00:33:20.180
 the hope

00:33:20.180 --> 00:33:20.819
 still is

00:33:20.819 --> 00:33:21.140
 of the

00:33:21.140 --> 00:33:21.720
 resurrection

00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:22.880
 and we

00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:23.340
 thank you

00:33:23.340 --> 00:33:23.840
 for all

00:33:23.840 --> 00:33:24.559
 the promises

00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:24.940
 that we

00:33:24.940 --> 00:33:25.640
 find to

00:33:25.640 --> 00:33:26.259
 that end

00:33:26.259 --> 00:33:26.600
 in your

00:33:26.600 --> 00:33:27.759
 word of

00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:28.279
 the one

00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:29.120
 who came

00:33:29.120 --> 00:33:29.440
 not to

00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:29.600
 be

00:33:29.600 --> 00:33:29.980
 served

00:33:29.980 --> 00:33:30.340
 but to

00:33:30.340 --> 00:33:30.759
 serve

00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:31.519
 and to

00:33:31.519 --> 00:33:31.880
 give his

00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:32.559
 life as

00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:33.120
 a ransom

00:33:33.120 --> 00:33:33.799
 for many.

00:33:33.960 --> 00:33:34.759
 May it

00:33:34.759 --> 00:33:35.200
 encourage

00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:35.779
 us

00:33:35.779 --> 00:33:36.680
 may it

00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:37.079
 humble

00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:37.559
 us

00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:38.500
 and may

00:33:38.500 --> 00:33:38.600
 it

00:33:38.600 --> 00:33:38.860
 make

00:33:38.860 --> 00:33:39.440
 ourselves

00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:40.000
 cast

00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:40.539
 ourselves

00:33:40.539 --> 00:33:41.039
 upon

00:33:41.039 --> 00:33:41.480
 him

00:33:41.480 --> 00:33:42.440
 who

00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:42.799
 came

00:33:42.799 --> 00:33:43.000
 from

00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:43.200
 the

00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:43.819
 father's

00:33:43.819 --> 00:33:44.140
 throne

00:33:44.140 --> 00:33:44.860
 to

00:33:44.860 --> 00:33:45.200
 give

00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:45.860
 himself

00:33:45.860 --> 00:33:46.779
 for us

00:33:46.779 --> 00:33:47.600
 that we

00:33:47.600 --> 00:33:48.059
 might see

00:33:48.059 --> 00:33:48.920
 the privilege

00:33:48.920 --> 00:33:49.680
 that there

00:33:49.680 --> 00:33:50.120
 is in

00:33:50.120 --> 00:33:50.539

00:33:50.539 --> 00:33:51.000

00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:52.200
 and believing

00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:52.900
 in him

00:33:52.900 --> 00:33:54.120
 and praising
