00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.400
 Well, the issue that Jesus is dealing with in this passage has to do with the disciples' attitude of superiority.

00:00:09.700 --> 00:00:10.960
 An attitude of superiority.

00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:23.760
 As you follow through the gospel narratives, you find that the disciples were constantly arguing and disputing with one another about who would be the greatest in the kingdom of God.

00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:26.920
 They all wanted a place of honor.

00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:32.840
 Each one of them seemed to have thought that they were superior to the others.

00:00:33.800 --> 00:00:36.960
 And you can imagine how those conversations unfolded.

00:00:36.980 --> 00:00:42.859
 And what we see presented in the scripture is that these weren't casual conversations.

00:00:43.140 --> 00:00:54.620
 These often developed into full-out arguments, hateful disagreements among these men who had been called together to serve Christ, not themselves.

00:00:54.619 --> 00:01:08.739
 James Edwards, I think, interestingly puts this, describes it when he says that the disciples have imbibed the wine of rank, placement, and self-importance.

00:01:09.219 --> 00:01:12.280
 And they imported into their fellowship with Jesus.

00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:25.980
 The same desire for rank and importance and superiority that is indicative of the culture around us, these men had now brought into their fellowship and discipleship of Jesus.

00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:28.540
 And it's exactly the same thing that we do.

00:01:28.540 --> 00:01:31.300
 It's exactly the same.

00:01:33.240 --> 00:01:35.640
 As we'll see in verses 38 to 41.

00:01:36.620 --> 00:01:39.060
 I really wanted to get there today and we just can't.

00:01:39.100 --> 00:01:40.180
 We're going to have to wait until next week.

00:01:40.320 --> 00:01:49.980
 But this sinful attitude caused them even to look down on others who weren't a part of their special group.

00:01:49.980 --> 00:01:56.800
 They didn't judge others by whether or not they were really following Christ.

00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:02.480
 They judged others on the basis of whether or not they were a part of their group, whether they identified with them.

00:02:03.100 --> 00:02:11.920
 They were more concerned if these other people were with them than they were concerned if those other people were actually truly with Christ.

00:02:12.860 --> 00:02:15.480
 And they began to draw their lines of disagreement.

00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:19.719
 They began to assign enemies and allies in all the wrong places.

00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:25.699
 There's a real sense in which these men thought of themselves as elite.

00:02:26.939 --> 00:02:30.539
 And their time with Jesus should have produced a spirit of humility.

00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:35.659
 But they were instead full of prideful arrogance.

00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.599
 Sinclair Ferguson writing on this passage said,

00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:48.639
 If we did not know our own hearts, we would find it difficult to believe that this really happened.

00:02:49.939 --> 00:02:58.139
 But any disciple who knows himself hears the echoes in his own life of such unfaithfulness.

00:03:00.959 --> 00:03:05.280
 It's easy to come to these narratives about the disciples and think,

00:03:05.579 --> 00:03:07.840
 man, these guys were really messed up.

00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:14.200
 But any disciple who really knows himself, says Sinclair,

00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.379
 hears the echo of his own voice in this.

00:03:18.640 --> 00:03:20.219
 We're no different than these men.

00:03:22.300 --> 00:03:26.580
 Because pride is a destructive sin that pervades the heart of every person.

00:03:26.580 --> 00:03:36.860
 We all desire a place of prominence and honor above everyone else.

00:03:37.980 --> 00:03:42.960
 We all want to be recognized as more significant than others.

00:03:44.500 --> 00:03:50.680
 We all desire to be served more than we look to actually serve others.

00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:56.939
 And like the 12, our pride often leads to schisms.

00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:01.939
 Schisms within the fellowship of believers.

00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:07.240
 Schisms within the various relationships of our lives.

00:04:07.980 --> 00:04:14.060
 And it leads us to draw lines of division on the basis of things other than the gospel.

00:04:14.060 --> 00:04:15.060
 It's destructive.

00:04:15.060 --> 00:04:16.060
 It's destructive.

00:04:16.060 --> 00:04:16.740
 It's destructive.

00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:19.480
 It's blinding.

00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:27.459
 Because so few of us actually see the reality of it in our own lives.

00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:30.259
 But it's tearing us apart.

00:04:31.379 --> 00:04:33.680
 It's tearing churches apart.

00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:37.360
 It's tearing families apart.

00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:41.040
 Says MacArthur,

00:04:41.400 --> 00:04:47.079
 The danger revealed here is that pride ruins unity by destroying relationships.

00:04:48.900 --> 00:04:52.079
 Relationships are based on loving sacrifice and service.

00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:55.379
 On selfless deferring to and giving to others.

00:04:56.139 --> 00:05:01.420
 But pride being self-focused is indifferent to others.

00:05:01.420 --> 00:05:06.819
 And beyond that, it is ultimately judgmental and critical.

00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.420
 And therefore, it is divisive.

00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:18.819
 Because of that, pride is the most common destroyer, both of relationships and churches.

00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:26.900
 And so Jesus dealt with this time and time and time again with these disciples.

00:05:27.819 --> 00:05:30.100
 And they never seemed to learn the lesson.

00:05:30.100 --> 00:05:33.260
 And maybe we'll learn it today.

00:05:34.060 --> 00:05:35.420
 Two things I want to point out to you.

00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:37.080
 There's really four parts to this section.

00:05:37.220 --> 00:05:39.500
 It goes all the way to verse 50.

00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:43.060
 And we just, you know, won't have time to go that far.

00:05:43.379 --> 00:05:45.760
 And so we're really going to deal with the first two sections today.

00:05:46.100 --> 00:05:49.060
 Lord willing, we'll deal with the last two sections next week.

00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:55.640
 The first thing we see here in verses 31 to 32 is Jesus reaffirming his purpose.

00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:59.819
 Jesus reaffirming his purpose.

00:06:00.159 --> 00:06:01.839
 Look with me at verse 31.

00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:05.599
 For he was teaching his disciples, saying to them,

00:06:05.599 --> 00:06:10.379
 The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men,

00:06:10.539 --> 00:06:12.579
 and they will kill him.

00:06:12.979 --> 00:06:17.360
 And when he is killed, after three days, he will rise.

00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:21.699
 So though Jesus was teaching the disciples many things,

00:06:21.699 --> 00:06:25.139
 the primary topic was his messianic purpose.

00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.540
 Now that they had trusted in who he was as the Messiah,

00:06:29.660 --> 00:06:35.319
 it was necessary that he teach them what the Messiah was actually intended to do,

00:06:35.420 --> 00:06:37.340
 what his purpose was.

00:06:37.339 --> 00:06:44.739
 We cannot understand our discipleship apart from understanding Jesus's Messiahship.

00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:49.659
 These messianic misunderstandings were rampant among the Jews.

00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:52.579
 The disciples were no exclusion to that.

00:06:53.459 --> 00:06:57.120
 In fact, they floundered so much during this time of training,

00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:02.439
 precisely because they didn't grasp the significance of Jesus's coming.

00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:09.980
 They believed in who he was, but they were confused about what he actually came to do.

00:07:10.899 --> 00:07:16.000
 And the result of this misunderstanding is that they continued to fail

00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:19.819
 in imitating Jesus as faithful disciples.

00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:23.879
 So now we get to this verse, and it's now the second time

00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:28.959
 that Mark records Jesus teaching about his coming death and resurrection.

00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:32.500
 And just as in chapter 8 and verse 31,

00:07:32.659 --> 00:07:37.259
 the Lord used this messianic title, Son of Man, Son of Man.

00:07:37.359 --> 00:07:38.419
 It's from Daniel 7.

00:07:39.139 --> 00:07:43.939
 All of the Jews would have recognized this title as significant to the messianic kingdom.

00:07:44.659 --> 00:07:48.859
 And what they anticipated based on Daniel's prophecy in chapter 7

00:07:48.859 --> 00:07:51.339
 is that when the Son of Man came,

00:07:51.500 --> 00:07:56.919
 that would be the moment that the Father would then give over the eternal kingdom to him,

00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:00.420
 that he would establish the kingdom in perfection in that moment.

00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:04.759
 But what Jesus was doing in emphasizing his title as the Son of Man

00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:10.740
 was linking the Daniel 7 Son of Man to the Isaiah 53 suffering servant.

00:08:11.420 --> 00:08:14.160
 Jesus was teaching them in this process that no,

00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:17.280
 the Son of Man must first suffer.

00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:23.280
 And it is only after he suffers that he will then rule.

00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:28.659
 And Jesus explicitly described the nature of this execution.

00:08:29.119 --> 00:08:32.199
 He promised resurrection after three days.

00:08:32.379 --> 00:08:35.639
 All the things Jesus told them plainly.

00:08:35.659 --> 00:08:39.259
 And this is now the second time that Mark has actually recorded him doing so.

00:08:40.079 --> 00:08:41.939
 And there's so much we could say about this,

00:08:41.980 --> 00:08:46.159
 but I want to draw your attention here before we move on to the word delivered.

00:08:46.579 --> 00:08:48.159
 Notice with me again in verse 31.

00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:51.659
 For he was teaching his disciples, saying to them,

00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:58.079
 the Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men.

00:08:59.339 --> 00:09:06.299
 Now, who is it exactly that Jesus means will deliver him into the hands of men?

00:09:08.259 --> 00:09:11.740
 We could point to a number of people involved with Jesus' crucifixion.

00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:14.399
 Perhaps we could say Judas.

00:09:14.659 --> 00:09:17.500
 Well, Judas is the one that actually betrays the Lord.

00:09:17.500 --> 00:09:21.460
 He maybe is the one that's responsible for handing Jesus over,

00:09:21.539 --> 00:09:22.200
 is what this means.

00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:26.559
 Handing Jesus over to evil men that would then proceed to execute.

00:09:27.379 --> 00:09:28.720
 We could say it's Pilate.

00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:31.779
 Pilate's the one that passed the final judgment,

00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:34.500
 that gave the thumbs up for the execution to continue.

00:09:34.779 --> 00:09:37.700
 He's the one that handed him over to the Roman soldiers for the scourging,

00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:40.600
 and then beyond that to the actual crucifixion itself.

00:09:40.659 --> 00:09:41.799
 We could say maybe it's Pilate.

00:09:42.340 --> 00:09:44.600
 We could say maybe it's the Sanhedrin.

00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:49.700
 It's the court of Jews that had that kangaroo court in the middle of the night,

00:09:49.700 --> 00:09:55.200
 that had unjustly accused Jesus, brought false witnesses against Jesus,

00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:57.740
 and then passed him on to Pilate from there.

00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:00.060
 We could point to any number of these people,

00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:03.240
 but I don't think that that's what Jesus actually had in mind here.

00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:07.680
 This phrase, smoothed out in English,

00:10:08.259 --> 00:10:11.279
 is presented as if it's in the future tense,

00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:14.700
 and it's done that way in order to match the phrases,

00:10:15.220 --> 00:10:19.460
 he will be killed, and after they kill him, he will rise.

00:10:19.539 --> 00:10:20.840
 Those are future tense verbs.

00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:25.820
 But what's written here actually as delivered is not a future tense verb.

00:10:25.820 --> 00:10:28.680
 It's a present tense verb.

00:10:29.420 --> 00:10:31.020
 We could literally read this.

00:10:31.500 --> 00:10:35.620
 The Son of Man is delivered into the hands of men,

00:10:35.740 --> 00:10:40.440
 and they will kill him, and he will rise.

00:10:40.560 --> 00:10:42.920
 But the delivering part is already done.

00:10:43.560 --> 00:10:45.600
 It's already done, present tense.

00:10:46.700 --> 00:10:50.120
 This type of phrase is referred to as a divine passive,

00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:55.120
 and what that means simply is that though the name of God is absent in the text,

00:10:55.299 --> 00:11:00.159
 the implication of the text is that God himself is the one performing the action.

00:11:00.740 --> 00:11:00.860
 Okay?

00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:04.820
 And so Jesus says the Son of Man is delivered.

00:11:05.179 --> 00:11:05.980
 That's passive.

00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:09.179
 Being delivered is what's happening to Jesus,

00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.580
 but who's the one actually doing it?

00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:17.340
 The implication on Jesus' part here is that it's God the Father who is doing this.

00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:18.840
 It's God the Father.

00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:23.460
 He's not being handed over into the hands of men by men.

00:11:23.580 --> 00:11:27.860
 He's being handed over into the hands of men by the Father.

00:11:28.700 --> 00:11:34.100
 In other words, the atonement of Jesus made on the cross for our sins

00:11:34.100 --> 00:11:39.820
 was the very plan of God for bringing salvation to man.

00:11:40.680 --> 00:11:45.259
 This was his plan established in eternity past.

00:11:45.259 --> 00:11:48.980
 This was spoken of by Jesus as a guarantee.

00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:53.100
 It's not possible that he will be delivered into the hands of men.

00:11:53.319 --> 00:11:55.419
 No, he has already been delivered.

00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:58.259
 God has delivered him into the hands of men,

00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:00.960
 and this is what they will do to him.

00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.120
 This is not the action of a man alone.

00:12:03.379 --> 00:12:06.759
 This is ultimately the result of God's plan of salvation.

00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:09.899
 And Peter didn't grasp this at the moment,

00:12:09.899 --> 00:12:14.579
 but he did eventually in Acts chapter 2 when he's preaching that great sermon

00:12:14.579 --> 00:12:16.299
 after Jesus' ascension.

00:12:16.439 --> 00:12:18.100
 What is it that Peter says?

00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:20.279
 Acts chapter 2 verse 22.

00:12:20.959 --> 00:12:23.360
 Men of Israel, hear these words.

00:12:24.059 --> 00:12:27.659
 Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God

00:12:27.659 --> 00:12:30.379
 with mighty works and wonders and signs

00:12:30.379 --> 00:12:32.519
 that God did through him in your midst,

00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:34.299
 as you yourselves know.

00:12:34.299 --> 00:12:35.339
 Here's what he says.

00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:42.639
 This Jesus delivered up according to the definite plan

00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:45.000
 and foreknowledge of God.

00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:50.719
 You crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men,

00:12:50.899 --> 00:12:53.099
 and then God raised him up.

00:12:54.259 --> 00:12:56.779
 What did Peter come to realize after the resurrection?

00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:00.879
 Yeah, Judas was the one who betrayed him.

00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:05.100
 Yeah, Pilate was the one who gave the thumbs up on the crucifixion.

00:13:05.179 --> 00:13:07.379
 Yeah, it was the soldiers who actually carried it out.

00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:11.220
 Yeah, it was the Jewish Sanhedrin who were involved in their part of the process,

00:13:11.220 --> 00:13:12.960
 but this was all the plan of God.

00:13:13.100 --> 00:13:15.899
 It was God the Father who delivered Jesus into this.

00:13:16.100 --> 00:13:17.379
 This was his plan.

00:13:17.860 --> 00:13:18.960
 This was his plan.

00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:21.279
 And what was that plan meant to accomplish?

00:13:21.820 --> 00:13:23.059
 Your salvation.

00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:25.139
 Your salvation.

00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:27.779
 The forgiveness of your sins.

00:13:27.779 --> 00:13:33.000
 But it's not as if the Father did it to the Son unwillingly.

00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:36.860
 Listen to Jesus' words in John chapter 10.

00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:39.860
 I lay down my life.

00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:42.179
 I lay down my life.

00:13:42.659 --> 00:13:44.259
 That I may take it up again.

00:13:44.839 --> 00:13:46.860
 No one takes it from me,

00:13:47.379 --> 00:13:50.879
 but I lay it down of my own accord.

00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:53.519
 I have authority to lay it down,

00:13:53.699 --> 00:13:55.659
 and I have authority to take it up again.

00:13:55.659 --> 00:13:58.079
 And this charge I have received from my Father.

00:13:58.600 --> 00:13:59.579
 What do we find there?

00:14:01.259 --> 00:14:04.579
 The Father didn't send the Son to earth to die for our sins,

00:14:04.699 --> 00:14:05.620
 kicking and screaming.

00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:08.679
 In perfect unity, the Trinity agreed.

00:14:08.980 --> 00:14:10.719
 This was the plan of salvation.

00:14:11.339 --> 00:14:14.459
 Jesus, willingly submitting himself to the Father,

00:14:14.819 --> 00:14:15.879
 comes to this earth,

00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:17.379
 humbles himself,

00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:19.740
 and lays his life down.

00:14:19.959 --> 00:14:21.279
 No one took it from him.

00:14:21.439 --> 00:14:22.839
 He laid it down.

00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:23.440
 Why?

00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:25.660
 So that you could be saved.

00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:28.000
 So that you could know God.

00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:30.280
 So that you could be in heaven,

00:14:30.540 --> 00:14:32.860
 reconciled to God in eternity.

00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:34.840
 He takes our wrath.

00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:36.879
 He takes our sin.

00:14:37.420 --> 00:14:38.920
 He takes our death.

00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:41.500
 In order that we might have his life,

00:14:41.820 --> 00:14:42.920
 and his righteousness,

00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:47.639
 and his eternal relationship with the Father.

00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:51.980
 And this doesn't absolve the responsibility of men

00:14:51.980 --> 00:14:54.840
 in the actual act of crucifying Jesus.

00:14:55.740 --> 00:14:57.259
 Jesus himself said,

00:14:57.399 --> 00:14:58.379
 the night of his arrest,

00:14:58.860 --> 00:15:02.100
 the Son of Man goes as it has been determined for him,

00:15:02.379 --> 00:15:03.980
 but woe to him,

00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:07.319
 woe to him who betrays him.

00:15:08.980 --> 00:15:11.460
 It may seem that Jesus' crucifixion

00:15:11.460 --> 00:15:13.039
 was due to the wickedness of men,

00:15:13.379 --> 00:15:14.259
 and it was.

00:15:14.259 --> 00:15:17.159
 It was always God's plan

00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:19.639
 to forgive our sins in this way.

00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:20.819
 It's the only way.

00:15:21.580 --> 00:15:22.580
 It's his way.

00:15:24.340 --> 00:15:25.879
 And the wonder of it all

00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:28.639
 is that Jesus then says to us,

00:15:29.299 --> 00:15:29.620
 come.

00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:31.960
 Come.

00:15:34.259 --> 00:15:37.559
 And anyone who comes to him, he says,

00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:39.639
 in faith and repentance,

00:15:39.740 --> 00:15:40.899
 I will not turn them away.

00:15:42.580 --> 00:15:44.100
 I will not turn them away.

00:15:44.259 --> 00:15:48.480
 Now, why did Mark put this here in chapter 9?

00:15:50.620 --> 00:15:53.240
 It's not just a transition in the narrative.

00:15:53.419 --> 00:15:54.700
 It's not just another place

00:15:54.700 --> 00:15:55.779
 because they were traveling

00:15:55.779 --> 00:15:57.600
 that Mark decided that he was going to put

00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:00.139
 this teaching here

00:16:00.139 --> 00:16:01.879
 and then kind of move on.

00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:02.139
 No.

00:16:02.460 --> 00:16:05.319
 I think that Mark intended for us to view this

00:16:05.319 --> 00:16:08.399
 in light of Jesus' teaching on humility.

00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:11.039
 Jesus,

00:16:11.319 --> 00:16:13.439
 seen in his willingness

00:16:13.439 --> 00:16:15.340
 to become a man

00:16:15.340 --> 00:16:17.679
 and suffer on our behalf,

00:16:18.179 --> 00:16:20.579
 is the premier example

00:16:20.579 --> 00:16:22.139
 of humility.

00:16:23.740 --> 00:16:25.939
 And it's because of the example

00:16:25.939 --> 00:16:26.879
 of our Lord

00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:29.819
 that we are to imitate this humility

00:16:29.819 --> 00:16:31.459
 as his disciples.

00:16:31.460 --> 00:16:35.320
 We quote Philippians 2 a lot.

00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:36.580
 Maybe you'd write it down

00:16:36.580 --> 00:16:37.460
 in the margins here

00:16:37.460 --> 00:16:38.700
 of your notes.

00:16:39.740 --> 00:16:41.040
 What is it that Paul said

00:16:41.040 --> 00:16:42.200
 of Jesus' incarnation?

00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:44.940
 He first says,

00:16:45.420 --> 00:16:47.820
 have this mind of humility in you.

00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:49.019
 Believer,

00:16:49.560 --> 00:16:51.200
 be humble in this way

00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:53.100
 as this humility

00:16:53.100 --> 00:16:54.580
 is seen in your Lord in Jesus.

00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:55.980
 Have this mind among you

00:16:55.980 --> 00:16:57.660
 which is yours in Christ Jesus

00:16:57.660 --> 00:16:58.120
 who,

00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:00.960
 though he was in the form of God,

00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:04.740
 did not count equality with God

00:17:04.740 --> 00:17:05.980
 a thing to be grasped,

00:17:05.980 --> 00:17:07.920
 but emptied himself

00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:11.279
 by taking on the form of a servant,

00:17:11.840 --> 00:17:14.340
 being born in the likeness of men

00:17:14.340 --> 00:17:16.980
 and being found in human form.

00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:18.940
 He humbled himself

00:17:18.940 --> 00:17:21.680
 by becoming obedient to death,

00:17:22.320 --> 00:17:24.460
 even death on a cross.

00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:27.660
 It's the ultimate description

00:17:27.660 --> 00:17:29.160
 of the humiliation of Jesus.

00:17:30.700 --> 00:17:33.320
 That Jesus in eternity past

00:17:33.320 --> 00:17:35.140
 is one with the Father.

00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:38.940
 And any change at all in him

00:17:38.940 --> 00:17:41.100
 would require condescension.

00:17:42.120 --> 00:17:43.600
 And yet he became a man

00:17:43.600 --> 00:17:45.880
 without actually setting aside his deity.

00:17:46.080 --> 00:17:48.259
 He maintained his essence as God.

00:17:48.259 --> 00:17:49.460
 That's who he is.

00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:51.339
 And that is unchanging about him.

00:17:51.460 --> 00:17:52.559
 But as God,

00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:55.859
 he sets aside the glory of his deity

00:17:55.859 --> 00:17:58.799
 in order to live as a poor man,

00:17:59.099 --> 00:18:00.980
 sometimes homeless man.

00:18:01.980 --> 00:18:04.119
 And he walked among men,

00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:05.839
 the betrayers,

00:18:06.059 --> 00:18:07.759
 he allowed to walk with him

00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:09.039
 for three years.

00:18:09.859 --> 00:18:12.119
 He suffered as we suffered.

00:18:12.779 --> 00:18:15.019
 He was tempted as we are tempted,

00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:16.440
 yet without sin.

00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:18.960
 And he went all the way to death,

00:18:19.019 --> 00:18:20.380
 but not just any death,

00:18:20.600 --> 00:18:21.740
 a criminal's death,

00:18:22.620 --> 00:18:24.039
 a death he did not deserve.

00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:27.100
 And what is that the example of?

00:18:27.660 --> 00:18:29.160
 If not humility.

00:18:30.779 --> 00:18:32.980
 Though he is the greatest of all,

00:18:33.460 --> 00:18:36.000
 he became the servant of all.

00:18:36.700 --> 00:18:37.200
 Why?

00:18:38.180 --> 00:18:39.980
 So that you could know him.

00:18:40.660 --> 00:18:42.580
 So that you could be forgiven.

00:18:42.579 --> 00:18:46.259
 Then we go back to Psalm 117.

00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:48.199
 Why do we gather today?

00:18:48.899 --> 00:18:50.699
 Why do we praise the Lord today?

00:18:51.899 --> 00:18:54.859
 Because great is his steadfast love to us.

00:18:56.159 --> 00:18:58.039
 Great is his redeeming love

00:18:58.039 --> 00:19:00.919
 that he left the portals of heaven

00:19:00.919 --> 00:19:04.079
 to suffer for our sake

00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:05.799
 and on our behalf.

00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:07.720
 There's a hymn.

00:19:07.859 --> 00:19:09.839
 I think I've quoted it to you before.

00:19:11.220 --> 00:19:12.859
 What wondrous love is this,

00:19:12.940 --> 00:19:14.379
 O my soul, O my soul.

00:19:15.460 --> 00:19:18.240
 What wondrous love is this, O my soul.

00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:21.359
 What wondrous love is this

00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:23.940
 that caused the Lord of bliss

00:19:23.940 --> 00:19:26.759
 to bear the dreadful curse

00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:29.480
 for my soul, for my soul.

00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:32.859
 To bear the dreadful curse for my soul.

00:19:32.859 --> 00:19:35.079
 He goes on to say,

00:19:35.259 --> 00:19:36.559
 As I was sinking down,

00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:38.199
 sinking down,

00:19:38.819 --> 00:19:39.639
 sinking down.

00:19:40.159 --> 00:19:42.259
 When I was sinking down,

00:19:42.479 --> 00:19:43.359
 sinking down.

00:19:44.139 --> 00:19:46.279
 When I was sinking down

00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:49.579
 beneath God's righteous frown,

00:19:50.859 --> 00:19:53.159
 Christ laid aside his crown

00:19:53.159 --> 00:19:55.079
 for my soul,

00:19:55.619 --> 00:19:56.519
 for my soul.

00:19:57.419 --> 00:19:59.819
 Christ laid aside his crown

00:19:59.819 --> 00:20:01.439
 for my soul.

00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:03.700
 Why did Mark put this here?

00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:07.140
 Because before Jesus ever taught

00:20:07.140 --> 00:20:09.200
 his disciples to be humble servants,

00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:11.460
 he himself proved to be

00:20:11.460 --> 00:20:13.120
 the humblest of servants.

00:20:14.180 --> 00:20:15.160
 Verse 32,

00:20:15.299 --> 00:20:16.779
 But they did not understand the saying

00:20:16.779 --> 00:20:19.279
 and were afraid to ask him.

00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:22.380
 Have you ever been that student in class?

00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:25.420
 The teacher has gone over

00:20:25.420 --> 00:20:26.580
 this particular issue

00:20:26.580 --> 00:20:28.340
 time and time and time again

00:20:28.340 --> 00:20:29.600
 and you still don't get it,

00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:30.779
 but you're really hoping

00:20:30.779 --> 00:20:31.619
 that somebody else

00:20:31.619 --> 00:20:32.779
 will be the one to raise their hand

00:20:32.779 --> 00:20:33.500
 and ask the question.

00:20:34.219 --> 00:20:35.559
 And nobody raises their hand

00:20:35.559 --> 00:20:36.319
 and asks the question

00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:37.779
 and so the question goes unanswered.

00:20:38.419 --> 00:20:39.559
 We find the disciples

00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:40.819
 in a similar predicament here,

00:20:40.859 --> 00:20:41.099
 don't we?

00:20:42.099 --> 00:20:43.379
 It wasn't that they couldn't

00:20:43.379 --> 00:20:45.059
 intellectually grasp

00:20:45.059 --> 00:20:46.779
 what Jesus was saying.

00:20:47.419 --> 00:20:48.839
 His teaching was plain.

00:20:49.339 --> 00:20:50.299
 It was straightforward.

00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:52.179
 It was supported by scripture.

00:20:52.819 --> 00:20:53.980
 That wasn't the problem.

00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:54.899
 It was logical.

00:20:54.900 --> 00:20:57.220
 The problem is that

00:20:57.220 --> 00:20:59.180
 they would not accept the teaching

00:20:59.180 --> 00:21:00.900
 as a spiritual reality.

00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:03.100
 And it's hard for us

00:21:03.100 --> 00:21:04.140
 to understand this, isn't it?

00:21:04.320 --> 00:21:05.200
 After all they've seen,

00:21:05.320 --> 00:21:06.940
 they have full faith

00:21:06.940 --> 00:21:08.140
 in who Jesus is.

00:21:08.280 --> 00:21:09.620
 They have no doubt in their mind

00:21:09.620 --> 00:21:10.540
 that he is the Messiah.

00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:11.820
 They are following him

00:21:11.820 --> 00:21:13.040
 as the Messiah.

00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:16.120
 But they find it so difficult

00:21:16.120 --> 00:21:17.740
 to really believe

00:21:17.740 --> 00:21:18.680
 what he's saying

00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:20.040
 he's supposed to do

00:21:20.040 --> 00:21:20.860
 as the Messiah.

00:21:20.859 --> 00:21:23.279
 And I don't know

00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:24.119
 that it's necessarily

00:21:24.119 --> 00:21:24.819
 a rebellion.

00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:25.899
 I don't think that

00:21:25.899 --> 00:21:27.599
 it's necessarily a denial

00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:29.000
 as much as it is

00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:30.779
 such difficulty

00:21:30.779 --> 00:21:33.299
 in grasping a concept

00:21:33.299 --> 00:21:34.559
 that was totally foreign

00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:35.579
 to their understanding

00:21:35.579 --> 00:21:37.319
 of messianic interpretation.

00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:42.559
 We see back in chapter 8

00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:43.919
 the healing of the blind man

00:21:43.919 --> 00:21:45.459
 as representative

00:21:45.459 --> 00:21:46.259
 of what these men

00:21:46.259 --> 00:21:47.000
 are going through.

00:21:48.539 --> 00:21:50.099
 Jesus touches him first

00:21:50.099 --> 00:21:50.759
 and he can see

00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:51.819
 but he can't see clearly.

00:21:52.159 --> 00:21:54.000
 Not until Jesus touches him again.

00:21:54.579 --> 00:21:56.740
 The disciples are in that frame

00:21:56.740 --> 00:21:57.459
 at this point.

00:21:58.079 --> 00:21:59.039
 Jesus has opened

00:21:59.039 --> 00:21:59.659
 their understanding.

00:21:59.779 --> 00:22:00.399
 They can see.

00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:01.899
 It's just not clear yet.

00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:03.039
 And it won't be

00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:04.839
 until after Jesus' resurrection.

00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:05.839
 That's when it will click

00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:06.299
 for them.

00:22:07.059 --> 00:22:07.599
 So right now

00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:08.659
 they still don't grasp it.

00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:09.799
 And then of course

00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:10.319
 it's interesting

00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:11.679
 that they're afraid to ask.

00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:14.859
 Surely Jesus was

00:22:14.859 --> 00:22:16.719
 the most approachable person

00:22:16.719 --> 00:22:17.359
 to ever live.

00:22:18.099 --> 00:22:19.119
 Why wouldn't they ask?

00:22:20.099 --> 00:22:21.079
 Well,

00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:22.639
 perhaps they were trying

00:22:22.639 --> 00:22:23.859
 to avoid a rebuke

00:22:23.859 --> 00:22:24.539
 that was similar

00:22:24.539 --> 00:22:25.959
 to what Peter experienced

00:22:25.959 --> 00:22:26.799
 in chapter 8

00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:29.379
 because it would have been

00:22:29.379 --> 00:22:30.179
 difficult for them

00:22:30.179 --> 00:22:31.359
 to bring up the question

00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:34.319
 without arguing with Jesus

00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:35.879
 about what he was teaching.

00:22:36.719 --> 00:22:37.980
 So they kept quiet

00:22:37.980 --> 00:22:40.079
 out of their fear

00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:41.259
 of what this suffering

00:22:41.259 --> 00:22:42.419
 would mean for them.

00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:46.639
 They did not ask any longer.

00:22:47.159 --> 00:22:47.899
 They didn't want to talk

00:22:47.900 --> 00:22:48.600
 about it anymore.

00:22:50.280 --> 00:22:51.340
 Sometimes it's easier

00:22:51.340 --> 00:22:52.880
 to continue in our ignorance

00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:54.759
 than it is to accept

00:22:54.759 --> 00:22:55.960
 a truth that we find

00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:56.840
 disagreeable

00:22:56.840 --> 00:22:58.220
 or alarming.

00:22:59.220 --> 00:23:00.400
 I think we can sympathize

00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:01.060
 with the disciples

00:23:01.060 --> 00:23:01.460
 in that.

00:23:03.280 --> 00:23:04.380
 The heart of the problem

00:23:04.380 --> 00:23:05.040
 is this.

00:23:05.700 --> 00:23:06.780
 Because they didn't get

00:23:06.780 --> 00:23:07.800
 Jesus' purpose

00:23:07.800 --> 00:23:09.360
 they didn't understand

00:23:09.360 --> 00:23:10.100
 discipleship.

00:23:10.099 --> 00:23:12.759
 if you don't get it

00:23:12.759 --> 00:23:14.459
 how could you be

00:23:14.459 --> 00:23:15.299
 a faithful disciple?

00:23:16.659 --> 00:23:17.819
 If you don't get

00:23:17.819 --> 00:23:19.299
 the humility of Christ

00:23:19.299 --> 00:23:20.139
 and even coming

00:23:20.139 --> 00:23:20.759
 to this earth

00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:21.639
 much less

00:23:21.639 --> 00:23:22.339
 the sacrifice

00:23:22.339 --> 00:23:22.959
 that he made

00:23:22.959 --> 00:23:23.679
 on your behalf

00:23:23.679 --> 00:23:24.939
 how could you ever

00:23:24.939 --> 00:23:25.759
 imitate that

00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:26.500
 in your relationship

00:23:26.500 --> 00:23:27.159
 to others?

00:23:27.639 --> 00:23:28.459
 That's where they're at

00:23:28.459 --> 00:23:29.419
 which is what leads us

00:23:29.419 --> 00:23:30.419
 to this second section.

00:23:30.980 --> 00:23:31.539
 We see Jesus

00:23:31.539 --> 00:23:32.959
 redefining greatness.

00:23:33.679 --> 00:23:34.099
 First,

00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:35.019
 he's reaffirming

00:23:35.019 --> 00:23:35.539
 his purpose.

00:23:35.539 --> 00:23:37.000
 Now we see

00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:38.059
 he is redefining

00:23:38.059 --> 00:23:39.159
 greatness.

00:23:39.460 --> 00:23:40.359
 Look at verse 33.

00:23:41.779 --> 00:23:42.779
 They came to Capernaum

00:23:42.779 --> 00:23:44.799
 and when he was

00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:45.700
 in the house

00:23:45.700 --> 00:23:46.819
 he asked them

00:23:46.819 --> 00:23:48.799
 what were you discussing

00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:49.460
 on the way?

00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:51.639
 But they kept silent

00:23:51.639 --> 00:23:52.119
 again

00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:53.700
 from the way

00:23:53.700 --> 00:23:54.440
 they had argued

00:23:54.440 --> 00:23:55.200
 with one another

00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:56.200
 about who was

00:23:56.200 --> 00:23:57.319
 the greatest.

00:23:58.519 --> 00:23:59.859
 So they make their way

00:23:59.859 --> 00:24:00.980
 back to Capernaum

00:24:00.980 --> 00:24:03.720
 incognito perhaps

00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:05.339
 Jesus

00:24:05.339 --> 00:24:06.019
 inquired

00:24:06.019 --> 00:24:06.480
 about their

00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:07.220
 conversation

00:24:07.220 --> 00:24:08.579
 on the road

00:24:08.579 --> 00:24:08.959
 there.

00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:10.779
 Mark presents

00:24:10.779 --> 00:24:11.579
 a separation

00:24:11.579 --> 00:24:12.439
 between Jesus

00:24:12.439 --> 00:24:13.039
 and these men

00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:13.679
 now doesn't he?

00:24:15.159 --> 00:24:15.799
 Who knows

00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:16.179
 what this would

00:24:16.179 --> 00:24:16.799
 have been like?

00:24:17.299 --> 00:24:17.740
 Clearly

00:24:17.740 --> 00:24:19.119
 Jesus was not

00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:19.779
 with them

00:24:19.779 --> 00:24:20.959
 as they traveled.

00:24:22.179 --> 00:24:22.679
 Perhaps

00:24:22.679 --> 00:24:23.439
 because of the

00:24:23.439 --> 00:24:24.199
 content of

00:24:24.199 --> 00:24:25.539
 Jesus' teaching

00:24:25.539 --> 00:24:26.079
 they found it

00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:26.980
 difficult to walk

00:24:26.980 --> 00:24:27.720
 alongside him

00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:28.359
 at this point.

00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:31.319
 Jesus gets

00:24:31.319 --> 00:24:32.059
 to Capernaum

00:24:32.059 --> 00:24:32.579
 they make their

00:24:32.579 --> 00:24:33.319
 way into the house

00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:34.359
 probably Peter's

00:24:34.359 --> 00:24:34.799
 house

00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:34.919
 house.

00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:36.899
 And Jesus

00:24:36.899 --> 00:24:37.579
 says so what

00:24:37.579 --> 00:24:38.000
 were you guys

00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:38.539
 talking about

00:24:38.539 --> 00:24:39.019
 back there?

00:24:40.059 --> 00:24:40.440
 Now it's not

00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:40.799
 that he didn't

00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:41.180
 know.

00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:42.279
 Of course he

00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:42.519
 knew.

00:24:43.559 --> 00:24:44.700
 He was no less

00:24:44.700 --> 00:24:45.279
 familiar with

00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:46.139
 their conversation

00:24:46.139 --> 00:24:46.779
 than he was

00:24:46.779 --> 00:24:47.659
 with the condition

00:24:47.659 --> 00:24:48.599
 of the demon

00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:49.259
 possessed boy

00:24:49.259 --> 00:24:49.779
 in the previous

00:24:49.779 --> 00:24:50.139
 story.

00:24:50.419 --> 00:24:51.220
 Of course he

00:24:51.220 --> 00:24:51.379
 knew.

00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:52.379
 Jesus asked

00:24:52.379 --> 00:24:53.039
 these questions

00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:54.019
 often to draw

00:24:54.019 --> 00:24:54.819
 something out

00:24:54.819 --> 00:24:55.279
 of the people

00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:55.899
 he was talking

00:24:55.899 --> 00:24:56.159
 to.

00:24:56.419 --> 00:24:57.079
 And in this

00:24:57.079 --> 00:24:58.059
 moment he's

00:24:58.059 --> 00:24:58.839
 drawing out

00:24:58.839 --> 00:24:59.559
 the pride

00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:00.500
 of the

00:25:00.500 --> 00:25:01.019
 disciples.

00:25:02.019 --> 00:25:02.980
 We see a

00:25:02.980 --> 00:25:04.039
 stark contrast

00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:05.419
 as being

00:25:05.419 --> 00:25:06.339
 presented between

00:25:06.339 --> 00:25:07.019
 the humility

00:25:07.019 --> 00:25:07.619
 of Jesus

00:25:07.619 --> 00:25:08.619
 and the

00:25:08.619 --> 00:25:08.940
 arrogance

00:25:08.940 --> 00:25:09.299
 of his

00:25:09.299 --> 00:25:09.720
 followers.

00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:12.460
 The Lord

00:25:12.460 --> 00:25:12.940
 had just

00:25:12.940 --> 00:25:13.599
 spoken about

00:25:13.599 --> 00:25:14.480
 his humiliation

00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:15.460
 but all they

00:25:15.460 --> 00:25:15.879
 could think

00:25:15.879 --> 00:25:16.779
 about was

00:25:16.779 --> 00:25:17.759
 their aspirations

00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:18.599
 for honor

00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:19.579
 and position

00:25:19.579 --> 00:25:20.419
 in the

00:25:20.419 --> 00:25:20.740
 kingdom.

00:25:21.740 --> 00:25:22.639
 Again says

00:25:22.639 --> 00:25:23.339
 James Edwards

00:25:23.339 --> 00:25:24.440
 in all three

00:25:24.440 --> 00:25:25.539
 passion predictions

00:25:25.539 --> 00:25:26.960
 Jesus speaks

00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:27.279
 of the

00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:27.819
 necessity

00:25:27.819 --> 00:25:28.220
 of his

00:25:28.220 --> 00:25:28.740
 rejection

00:25:28.740 --> 00:25:29.700
 suffering

00:25:29.700 --> 00:25:30.379
 and death

00:25:30.379 --> 00:25:31.799
 and following

00:25:31.799 --> 00:25:32.700
 all three

00:25:32.700 --> 00:25:33.759
 the disciples

00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:34.440
 voice their

00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:35.000
 ambitions

00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:36.099
 for status

00:25:36.099 --> 00:25:36.920
 and prestige.

00:25:37.539 --> 00:25:38.700
 Jesus speaks

00:25:38.700 --> 00:25:39.379
 of surrendering

00:25:39.379 --> 00:25:39.920
 his life

00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:41.000
 the disciples

00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:41.599
 speak of

00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:42.180
 fulfilling

00:25:42.180 --> 00:25:42.799
 theirs.

00:25:43.619 --> 00:25:44.339
 He counts

00:25:44.339 --> 00:25:44.799
 the cost

00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:45.700
 of discipleship

00:25:45.700 --> 00:25:46.680
 they count

00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:47.720
 its assets.

00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:49.740
 The disciples

00:25:49.740 --> 00:25:50.440
 have yet to

00:25:50.440 --> 00:25:51.399
 learn that

00:25:51.399 --> 00:25:51.980
 the rewards

00:25:51.980 --> 00:25:52.960
 of discipleship

00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:53.980
 come only

00:25:53.980 --> 00:25:54.740
 as a

00:25:54.740 --> 00:25:55.299
 consequence

00:25:55.299 --> 00:25:56.359
 of following

00:25:56.359 --> 00:25:56.940
 Christ

00:25:56.940 --> 00:25:57.720
 on the

00:25:57.720 --> 00:25:58.259
 costly

00:25:58.259 --> 00:25:58.799
 way

00:25:58.799 --> 00:25:59.379
 to

00:25:59.379 --> 00:25:59.919
 Jerusalem.

00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:02.180
 Verse 35

00:26:02.180 --> 00:26:03.639
 He sat

00:26:03.639 --> 00:26:04.019
 down

00:26:04.019 --> 00:26:04.960
 called the

00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:05.440
 twelve

00:26:05.440 --> 00:26:06.359
 and he

00:26:06.359 --> 00:26:06.759
 said to

00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:07.000
 them

00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:08.359
 if anyone

00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:08.839
 would be

00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:09.399
 first

00:26:09.399 --> 00:26:10.720
 he must

00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:11.319
 be last

00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:11.899
 of all

00:26:11.899 --> 00:26:13.399
 and servant

00:26:13.399 --> 00:26:14.079
 of all.

00:26:15.940 --> 00:26:16.619
 It's

00:26:16.619 --> 00:26:16.919
 interesting

00:26:16.919 --> 00:26:17.379
 what Jesus

00:26:17.379 --> 00:26:17.859
 does here

00:26:17.859 --> 00:26:18.200
 he takes

00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:18.579
 a seat

00:26:18.579 --> 00:26:19.099
 actually

00:26:19.099 --> 00:26:21.000
 and again

00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:21.440
 this is

00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:22.099
 not an

00:26:22.099 --> 00:26:23.940
 inconsequential

00:26:23.940 --> 00:26:24.519
 note in the

00:26:24.519 --> 00:26:24.819
 narrative

00:26:24.819 --> 00:26:26.480
 Jesus

00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:27.279
 is assuming

00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:28.059
 the customary

00:26:28.059 --> 00:26:28.759
 posture

00:26:28.759 --> 00:26:29.500
 of an

00:26:29.500 --> 00:26:30.220
 authoritative

00:26:30.220 --> 00:26:30.740
 teacher

00:26:30.740 --> 00:26:32.839
 this is not

00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:33.359
 a passing

00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:34.159
 conversation

00:26:34.159 --> 00:26:34.639
 along the

00:26:34.639 --> 00:26:34.819
 way

00:26:34.819 --> 00:26:35.059
 no

00:26:35.059 --> 00:26:35.700
 Jesus

00:26:35.700 --> 00:26:36.220
 wants

00:26:36.220 --> 00:26:36.500
 these

00:26:36.500 --> 00:26:36.779
 men

00:26:36.779 --> 00:26:37.139
 not

00:26:37.139 --> 00:26:37.379
 to

00:26:37.379 --> 00:26:37.639
 take

00:26:37.639 --> 00:26:37.919
 this

00:26:37.919 --> 00:26:39.139
 conversation

00:26:39.139 --> 00:26:40.099
 casually

00:26:40.099 --> 00:26:40.960
 he wants

00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:41.339
 them to

00:26:41.339 --> 00:26:41.819
 recognize

00:26:41.819 --> 00:26:42.439
 based on

00:26:42.439 --> 00:26:42.740
 how he

00:26:42.740 --> 00:26:43.319
 has positioned

00:26:43.319 --> 00:26:43.779
 himself

00:26:43.779 --> 00:26:44.019
 in the

00:26:44.019 --> 00:26:44.279
 house

00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:44.980
 he wants

00:26:44.980 --> 00:26:45.319
 them to

00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:45.700
 recognize

00:26:45.700 --> 00:26:46.359
 I am

00:26:46.359 --> 00:26:46.779
 speaking

00:26:46.779 --> 00:26:47.159
 to you

00:26:47.159 --> 00:26:47.439
 in a

00:26:47.439 --> 00:26:47.799
 serious

00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:48.220
 manner

00:26:48.220 --> 00:26:48.779
 I'm

00:26:48.779 --> 00:26:49.119
 speaking

00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:49.460
 to you

00:26:49.460 --> 00:26:49.740
 in an

00:26:49.740 --> 00:26:50.500
 authoritative

00:26:50.500 --> 00:26:50.919
 manner

00:26:50.919 --> 00:26:51.599
 gather

00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:52.039
 around

00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:52.720
 and listen

00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:53.119
 to what

00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:53.240
 I'm

00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:53.440
 about

00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:53.899
 to tell

00:26:53.899 --> 00:26:54.200
 you

00:26:54.200 --> 00:26:56.259
 and what

00:26:56.259 --> 00:26:56.639
 he taught

00:26:56.639 --> 00:26:57.119
 was a

00:26:57.119 --> 00:26:57.579
 radical

00:26:57.579 --> 00:26:58.680
 lesson

00:26:58.680 --> 00:26:59.180
 of

00:26:59.180 --> 00:26:59.960
 discipleship

00:26:59.960 --> 00:27:00.639
 once again

00:27:00.639 --> 00:27:02.980
 just like

00:27:02.980 --> 00:27:03.460
 us they

00:27:03.460 --> 00:27:03.700
 are

00:27:03.700 --> 00:27:04.559
 immersed

00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:05.079
 in this

00:27:05.079 --> 00:27:05.420
 moment

00:27:05.420 --> 00:27:05.759
 in a

00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:06.159
 culture

00:27:06.159 --> 00:27:07.099
 that believed

00:27:07.099 --> 00:27:07.759
 greatness

00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:08.799
 was the

00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:09.659
 result of

00:27:09.659 --> 00:27:10.339
 authority

00:27:10.339 --> 00:27:11.519
 and position

00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:12.819
 and power

00:27:12.819 --> 00:27:14.000
 and status

00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:15.019
 and money

00:27:15.019 --> 00:27:16.339
 and so on

00:27:16.339 --> 00:27:18.199
 this idea

00:27:18.199 --> 00:27:18.539
 and that

00:27:18.539 --> 00:27:18.859
 culture

00:27:18.859 --> 00:27:19.699
 even dominated

00:27:19.699 --> 00:27:20.679
 their dinners

00:27:20.679 --> 00:27:21.139
 together

00:27:21.139 --> 00:27:22.659
 they meticulously

00:27:22.659 --> 00:27:23.619
 seated people

00:27:23.619 --> 00:27:24.359
 based on

00:27:24.359 --> 00:27:25.379
 how honorable

00:27:25.379 --> 00:27:25.799
 they were

00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:26.199
 thought to

00:27:26.199 --> 00:27:26.399
 be

00:27:26.399 --> 00:27:26.720
 and it

00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:27.019
 was the

00:27:27.019 --> 00:27:27.359
 common

00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:28.019
 aspiration

00:27:28.019 --> 00:27:28.299
 of the

00:27:28.299 --> 00:27:28.559
 people

00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:29.279
 to be

00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:29.539
 in the

00:27:29.539 --> 00:27:29.839
 place

00:27:29.839 --> 00:27:30.299
 of honor

00:27:30.299 --> 00:27:30.959
 everyone

00:27:30.959 --> 00:27:31.259
 wanted

00:27:31.259 --> 00:27:31.599
 to be

00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:32.059
 recognized

00:27:32.059 --> 00:27:33.500
 we

00:27:33.500 --> 00:27:33.899
 understand

00:27:33.899 --> 00:27:34.419
 that

00:27:34.419 --> 00:27:35.899
 we all

00:27:35.899 --> 00:27:36.279
 want

00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:36.720
 that

00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:38.379
 our

00:27:38.379 --> 00:27:38.799
 flesh

00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:39.399
 craves

00:27:39.399 --> 00:27:39.720
 it

00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:41.419
 we all

00:27:41.419 --> 00:27:41.939
 want the

00:27:41.939 --> 00:27:42.459
 celebrity

00:27:42.459 --> 00:27:43.259
 status

00:27:43.259 --> 00:27:44.919
 even

00:27:44.919 --> 00:27:45.459
 those of

00:27:45.459 --> 00:27:45.699
 us who

00:27:45.700 --> 00:27:46.420
 are introverted

00:27:46.420 --> 00:27:47.080
 would never

00:27:47.080 --> 00:27:47.519
 want to be

00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:47.860
 put in

00:27:47.860 --> 00:27:48.259
 front of

00:27:48.259 --> 00:27:48.519
 people

00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:49.059
 still want

00:27:49.059 --> 00:27:49.279
 to be

00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:49.700
 regarded

00:27:49.700 --> 00:27:49.960
 as

00:27:49.960 --> 00:27:50.279
 everybody

00:27:50.279 --> 00:27:50.600
 else

00:27:50.600 --> 00:27:50.819
 as

00:27:50.819 --> 00:27:51.400
 greater

00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:55.200
 Jesus

00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:55.680
 confronted

00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:56.059
 this with

00:27:56.059 --> 00:27:56.240
 the

00:27:56.240 --> 00:27:56.700
 Pharisees

00:27:56.700 --> 00:27:57.000
 at one

00:27:57.000 --> 00:27:57.240
 point

00:27:57.240 --> 00:27:57.380
 in

00:27:57.380 --> 00:27:57.580
 Matthew

00:27:57.580 --> 00:27:58.059
 23

00:27:58.059 --> 00:27:58.700
 they do

00:27:58.700 --> 00:27:59.019
 all their

00:27:59.019 --> 00:27:59.279
 deeds

00:27:59.279 --> 00:27:59.559
 to be

00:27:59.559 --> 00:27:59.779
 seen

00:27:59.779 --> 00:27:59.980
 by

00:27:59.980 --> 00:28:00.340
 others

00:28:00.340 --> 00:28:01.440
 they

00:28:01.440 --> 00:28:01.680
 make

00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:01.860
 their

00:28:01.860 --> 00:28:02.500
 phylacteries

00:28:02.500 --> 00:28:03.019
 broad

00:28:03.019 --> 00:28:03.340
 and their

00:28:03.340 --> 00:28:03.759
 fringes

00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:04.299
 long

00:28:04.299 --> 00:28:05.500
 they love

00:28:05.500 --> 00:28:05.980
 the place

00:28:05.980 --> 00:28:06.440
 of honor

00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:07.100
 at feast

00:28:07.100 --> 00:28:07.460
 and the

00:28:07.460 --> 00:28:08.100
 best seats

00:28:08.100 --> 00:28:08.420
 in the

00:28:08.420 --> 00:28:09.100
 synagogues

00:28:09.100 --> 00:28:09.660
 and greetings

00:28:09.660 --> 00:28:10.039
 in the

00:28:10.039 --> 00:28:10.759
 marketplaces

00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:11.279
 and being

00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:11.600
 called

00:28:11.600 --> 00:28:12.039
 rabbi

00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:12.660
 by others

00:28:12.660 --> 00:28:13.440
 everybody

00:28:13.440 --> 00:28:14.000
 wants a

00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:14.360
 title

00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:15.099
 everybody

00:28:15.099 --> 00:28:15.699
 wants a

00:28:15.699 --> 00:28:15.939
 place

00:28:15.939 --> 00:28:16.379
 of honor

00:28:16.379 --> 00:28:17.119
 everybody

00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:17.699
 wants to

00:28:17.699 --> 00:28:18.299
 be regarded

00:28:18.299 --> 00:28:18.819
 as

00:28:18.819 --> 00:28:19.439
 the

00:28:19.439 --> 00:28:19.919
 greatest

00:28:19.919 --> 00:28:21.919
 and this

00:28:21.919 --> 00:28:22.259
 is what

00:28:22.259 --> 00:28:22.839
 the disciples

00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:23.399
 are arguing

00:28:23.399 --> 00:28:23.779
 over

00:28:23.779 --> 00:28:24.759
 which one

00:28:24.759 --> 00:28:25.099
 of us

00:28:25.099 --> 00:28:25.639
 is actually

00:28:25.639 --> 00:28:26.419
 the greatest

00:28:26.420 --> 00:28:26.420


00:28:28.560 --> 00:28:29.160
 Jesus

00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:29.860
 takes this

00:28:29.860 --> 00:28:30.660
 concept of

00:28:30.660 --> 00:28:31.060
 greatness

00:28:31.060 --> 00:28:32.440
 and he

00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:32.900
 flips it

00:28:32.900 --> 00:28:33.640
 upside down

00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:34.000
 on them

00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:36.200
 in the

00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:36.740
 kingdom of

00:28:36.740 --> 00:28:37.039
 God

00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:37.340
 Jesus

00:28:37.340 --> 00:28:37.900
 says

00:28:37.900 --> 00:28:39.720
 greatness

00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:40.420
 is not a

00:28:40.420 --> 00:28:40.900
 matter of

00:28:40.900 --> 00:28:41.460
 position

00:28:41.460 --> 00:28:42.300
 and power

00:28:42.300 --> 00:28:43.800
 but of

00:28:43.800 --> 00:28:44.220
 humble

00:28:44.220 --> 00:28:44.940
 service

00:28:44.940 --> 00:28:45.640
 to others

00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:48.340
 what makes

00:28:48.340 --> 00:28:49.000
 you great

00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:49.400
 men

00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:50.600
 is not

00:28:50.600 --> 00:28:51.180
 what kind

00:28:51.180 --> 00:28:51.779
 of position

00:28:51.779 --> 00:28:52.440
 you have

00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:53.900
 because the

00:28:53.900 --> 00:28:54.300
 greatest

00:28:54.300 --> 00:28:55.060
 among you

00:28:55.059 --> 00:28:55.779
 is actually

00:28:55.779 --> 00:28:56.359
 the least

00:28:56.359 --> 00:28:56.839
 of all

00:28:56.839 --> 00:28:58.000
 and the

00:28:58.000 --> 00:28:58.339
 servant

00:28:58.339 --> 00:28:58.919
 of all

00:28:58.919 --> 00:29:01.379
 to be

00:29:01.379 --> 00:29:01.879
 great in

00:29:01.879 --> 00:29:02.359
 the kingdom

00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:03.919
 is to

00:29:03.919 --> 00:29:04.659
 imitate the

00:29:04.659 --> 00:29:05.559
 greatest one

00:29:05.559 --> 00:29:06.559
 of the

00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:06.919
 kingdom

00:29:06.919 --> 00:29:08.839
 who himself

00:29:08.839 --> 00:29:09.359
 said

00:29:09.359 --> 00:29:10.500
 the son of

00:29:10.500 --> 00:29:11.099
 man came

00:29:11.099 --> 00:29:11.819
 not to be

00:29:11.819 --> 00:29:12.379
 served

00:29:12.379 --> 00:29:13.519
 but to

00:29:13.519 --> 00:29:14.179
 serve

00:29:14.179 --> 00:29:15.919
 and to

00:29:15.919 --> 00:29:16.339
 give his

00:29:16.339 --> 00:29:16.859
 life a

00:29:16.859 --> 00:29:17.159
 ransom

00:29:17.159 --> 00:29:18.179
 for many

00:29:18.179 --> 00:29:21.339
 isn't that

00:29:21.339 --> 00:29:21.759
 what Jesus

00:29:21.759 --> 00:29:22.339
 did by

00:29:22.339 --> 00:29:22.839
 example

00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:25.220
 so he

00:29:25.220 --> 00:29:25.699
 calls his

00:29:25.699 --> 00:29:26.179
 disciples

00:29:26.179 --> 00:29:26.539
 to do

00:29:26.539 --> 00:29:26.919
 the same

00:29:26.919 --> 00:29:27.240
 thing

00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:29.759
 one of

00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:30.000
 the most

00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:30.419
 profound

00:29:30.419 --> 00:29:31.059
 examples

00:29:31.059 --> 00:29:31.559
 of this

00:29:31.559 --> 00:29:31.899
 is

00:29:31.899 --> 00:29:32.959
 when Jesus

00:29:32.959 --> 00:29:33.639
 washed the

00:29:33.639 --> 00:29:33.980
 feet of

00:29:33.980 --> 00:29:34.559
 the disciples

00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:34.959
 in fact

00:29:34.959 --> 00:29:35.639
 I want us

00:29:35.639 --> 00:29:36.119
 to look at

00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:36.419
 it before

00:29:36.419 --> 00:29:36.899
 we finish

00:29:36.899 --> 00:29:37.159
 today

00:29:37.159 --> 00:29:37.480
 okay

00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:38.220
 would you

00:29:38.220 --> 00:29:38.599
 turn with

00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:38.859
 me to

00:29:38.859 --> 00:29:39.099
 John

00:29:39.099 --> 00:29:39.599
 13

 chapter

00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:42.439
 13

00:29:42.439 --> 00:29:43.259
 should

00:29:43.259 --> 00:29:43.579
 just be

00:29:43.579 --> 00:29:43.839
 a few

00:29:43.839 --> 00:29:44.179
 pages

00:29:44.179 --> 00:29:44.500
 to the

00:29:44.500 --> 00:29:44.720
 right

00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:44.919
 of where

00:29:44.919 --> 00:29:45.039
 you

00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:45.159
 are

00:29:45.159 --> 00:29:45.519
 now

00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:50.259
 John

 chapter

00:29:50.579 --> 00:29:51.279
 13

00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:55.720
 with me

00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:55.879
 at

00:29:55.879 --> 00:29:56.200
 verse

00:29:56.200 --> 00:29:56.839
 3

00:29:56.839 --> 00:30:01.559
 Jesus

00:30:01.559 --> 00:30:02.059
 knowing

00:30:02.059 --> 00:30:02.460
 that the

00:30:02.460 --> 00:30:03.039
 father had

00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:03.500
 given all

00:30:03.500 --> 00:30:04.000
 things into

00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:04.700
 his hands

00:30:04.700 --> 00:30:06.220
 and that

00:30:06.220 --> 00:30:06.539
 he had

00:30:06.539 --> 00:30:07.059
 come from

00:30:07.059 --> 00:30:07.460
 God

00:30:07.460 --> 00:30:08.119
 and was

00:30:08.119 --> 00:30:08.720
 going back

00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:09.279
 to God

00:30:09.279 --> 00:30:10.200
 rose from

00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:10.579
 supper

00:30:10.579 --> 00:30:11.660
 that's an

00:30:11.660 --> 00:30:12.039
 important

00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:12.599
 verse

00:30:12.599 --> 00:30:14.519
 Jesus

00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:14.939
 wasn't

00:30:14.939 --> 00:30:15.279
 denying

00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:15.480
 the

00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:15.919
 reality

00:30:15.919 --> 00:30:16.159
 of

00:30:16.159 --> 00:30:16.919
 authority

00:30:16.919 --> 00:30:17.219
 and the

00:30:17.219 --> 00:30:17.619
 necessity

00:30:17.619 --> 00:30:17.859
 of

00:30:17.859 --> 00:30:18.219
 leadership

00:30:18.219 --> 00:30:19.199
 it's

00:30:19.199 --> 00:30:19.359
 not

00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:19.519
 what

00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:19.659
 he's

00:30:19.659 --> 00:30:19.959
 doing

00:30:19.959 --> 00:30:21.399
 because

00:30:21.399 --> 00:30:21.679
 even

00:30:21.679 --> 00:30:22.019
 before

00:30:22.019 --> 00:30:22.219
 he

00:30:22.219 --> 00:30:22.480
 does

00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:22.659
 this

00:30:22.659 --> 00:30:22.819
 for

00:30:22.819 --> 00:30:22.959
 his

00:30:22.959 --> 00:30:23.419
 disciples

00:30:23.419 --> 00:30:23.819
 he

00:30:23.819 --> 00:30:24.119
 does

00:30:24.119 --> 00:30:24.339
 so

00:30:24.339 --> 00:30:24.980
 knowing

00:30:24.980 --> 00:30:25.419
 that

00:30:25.419 --> 00:30:25.719
 all

00:30:25.719 --> 00:30:25.980
 things

00:30:25.980 --> 00:30:26.119
 are

00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:26.299
 given

00:30:26.299 --> 00:30:26.559
 into

00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:26.799
 his

00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:27.099
 hands

00:30:27.099 --> 00:30:27.500
 that

00:30:27.500 --> 00:30:27.839
 he

00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:28.079
 is

00:30:28.079 --> 00:30:28.359
 from

00:30:28.359 --> 00:30:28.699
 God

00:30:28.699 --> 00:30:28.899
 that

00:30:28.899 --> 00:30:29.099
 he

00:30:29.099 --> 00:30:29.299
 is

00:30:29.299 --> 00:30:29.579
 one

00:30:29.579 --> 00:30:29.779
 with

00:30:29.779 --> 00:30:30.059
 God

00:30:30.059 --> 00:30:30.199
 and

00:30:30.199 --> 00:30:30.319
 that

00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:30.500
 he's

00:30:30.500 --> 00:30:30.740
 about

00:30:30.740 --> 00:30:30.899
 to

00:30:30.899 --> 00:30:31.019
 be

00:30:31.019 --> 00:30:31.539
 exalted

00:30:31.539 --> 00:30:31.919
 back

00:30:31.919 --> 00:30:32.079
 to

00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:32.199
 the

00:30:32.199 --> 00:30:32.399
 right

00:30:32.399 --> 00:30:32.740
 hand

00:30:32.740 --> 00:30:33.199
 of

00:30:33.199 --> 00:30:33.439
 God

00:30:33.439 --> 00:30:33.599
 the

00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:33.919
 father

00:30:33.919 --> 00:30:34.299
 all

00:30:34.299 --> 00:30:34.439
 of

00:30:34.439 --> 00:30:34.619
 those

00:30:34.619 --> 00:30:34.859
 things

00:30:34.859 --> 00:30:35.019
 were

00:30:35.019 --> 00:30:35.339
 true

00:30:35.339 --> 00:30:35.359
!

00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:58.919
 Do you

00:30:58.919 --> 00:30:59.199
 see the

00:30:59.199 --> 00:30:59.639
 significance

00:30:59.639 --> 00:31:00.299
 of this?

00:31:01.139 --> 00:31:01.539
 Perhaps

00:31:01.539 --> 00:31:01.759
 you've

00:31:01.759 --> 00:31:02.179
 heard of

00:31:02.179 --> 00:31:02.500
 what this

00:31:02.500 --> 00:31:02.779
 would have

00:31:02.779 --> 00:31:03.079
 meant

00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:03.459
 in that

00:31:03.459 --> 00:31:03.879
 cultural

00:31:03.879 --> 00:31:04.259
 day

00:31:04.259 --> 00:31:06.579
 most

00:31:06.579 --> 00:31:07.079
 places

00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:07.439
 if you

00:31:07.439 --> 00:31:07.659
 were to

00:31:07.659 --> 00:31:08.000
 have

00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:08.459
 guests

00:31:08.459 --> 00:31:08.859
 into

00:31:08.859 --> 00:31:09.119
 your

00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:09.539
 home

00:31:09.539 --> 00:31:10.519
 you

00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:10.659
 would

00:31:10.659 --> 00:31:10.779
 have

00:31:10.779 --> 00:31:11.139
 had

00:31:11.139 --> 00:31:11.379
 a

00:31:11.379 --> 00:31:11.779
 servant

00:31:11.779 --> 00:31:12.139
 or a

00:31:12.139 --> 00:31:12.480
 slave

00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:12.740
 or

00:31:12.740 --> 00:31:13.220
 someone

00:31:13.220 --> 00:31:14.079
 designated

00:31:14.079 --> 00:31:14.680
 to

00:31:14.680 --> 00:31:15.180
 wash

00:31:15.180 --> 00:31:15.360
 your

00:31:15.360 --> 00:31:15.680
 guest

00:31:15.680 --> 00:31:16.039
 feet

00:31:16.039 --> 00:31:16.279
 as

00:31:16.279 --> 00:31:16.440
 they

00:31:16.440 --> 00:31:16.740
 came

00:31:16.740 --> 00:31:17.039
 in

00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:17.700
 it

00:31:17.700 --> 00:31:17.860
 was

00:31:17.860 --> 00:31:18.059
 the

00:31:18.059 --> 00:31:18.880
 lowliest

00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:19.480
 of

00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:20.819
 task

00:31:20.819 --> 00:31:21.180
 for

00:31:21.180 --> 00:31:21.360
 the

00:31:21.360 --> 00:31:21.779
 lowliest

00:31:21.779 --> 00:31:21.980
 of

00:31:21.980 --> 00:31:22.339
 people

00:31:22.339 --> 00:31:24.500
 I

00:31:24.500 --> 00:31:24.640
 mean

00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:25.120
 there's

00:31:25.120 --> 00:31:25.279
 even

00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:25.680
 places

00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:25.900
 in

00:31:25.900 --> 00:31:26.019
 the

00:31:26.019 --> 00:31:26.319
 Talmud

00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:26.559
 where

00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:26.880
 Jews

00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:27.160
 weren't

 of

00:35:11.140 --> 00:35:11.480
 leadership

00:35:11.480 --> 00:35:11.760
 and

00:35:11.760 --> 00:35:12.140
 authority

00:35:12.140 --> 00:35:12.460
 or the

00:35:12.460 --> 00:35:12.940
 reality

00:35:12.940 --> 00:35:13.340
 of it

00:35:13.340 --> 00:35:14.640
 he's

00:35:14.640 --> 00:35:15.320
 emphasizing

00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:16.060
 a disposition

00:35:16.059 --> 00:35:16.599
 of the

00:35:16.599 --> 00:35:16.980
 heart

00:35:16.980 --> 00:35:19.279
 again

00:35:19.279 --> 00:35:20.619
 Jesus

00:35:20.619 --> 00:35:21.079
 is the

00:35:21.079 --> 00:35:21.400
 greatest

00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:21.900
 of all

00:35:21.900 --> 00:35:23.420
 and yet

00:35:23.420 --> 00:35:24.099
 he became

00:35:24.099 --> 00:35:25.019
 the servant

00:35:25.019 --> 00:35:25.619
 of all

00:35:25.619 --> 00:35:27.920
 and on

00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:28.320
 his own

00:35:28.320 --> 00:35:28.739
 words

00:35:28.739 --> 00:35:29.779
 he says

00:35:29.779 --> 00:35:30.719
 how much

00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:31.139
 more ought

00:35:31.139 --> 00:35:31.440
 you to

00:35:31.440 --> 00:35:31.739
 do the

00:35:31.739 --> 00:35:31.920
 same

00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:32.279
 thing

00:35:32.279 --> 00:35:35.039
 verse

00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:35.420
 36

00:35:35.420 --> 00:35:36.099
 back in

00:35:36.099 --> 00:35:36.559
 Mark

00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:36.880
 9

00:35:36.880 --> 00:35:40.099
 he took

00:35:40.099 --> 00:35:40.599
 a child

00:35:40.599 --> 00:35:40.960
 and put

00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:41.139
 him in

00:35:41.139 --> 00:35:41.460
 the midst

00:35:41.460 --> 00:35:41.960
 of them

00:35:41.960 --> 00:35:43.579
 and taking

00:35:43.579 --> 00:35:43.840
 him in

00:35:43.840 --> 00:35:44.279
 his arms

00:35:44.279 --> 00:35:44.699
 he said

00:35:44.699 --> 00:35:45.179
 to them

00:35:45.179 --> 00:35:46.119
 whoever

00:35:46.119 --> 00:35:46.739
 receives

00:35:46.739 --> 00:35:47.259
 one such

00:35:47.259 --> 00:35:47.659
 child

00:35:47.659 --> 00:35:47.960
 in my

00:35:47.960 --> 00:35:48.399
 name

00:35:48.399 --> 00:35:49.480
 receives

00:35:49.480 --> 00:35:49.839
 me

00:35:49.839 --> 00:35:51.939
 and whoever

00:35:51.939 --> 00:35:52.460
 receives

00:35:52.460 --> 00:35:52.719
 me

00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:53.139
 receives

00:35:53.139 --> 00:35:53.399
 not

00:35:53.399 --> 00:35:53.759
 me

00:35:53.759 --> 00:35:55.519
 but him

00:35:55.519 --> 00:35:55.939
 who sent

00:35:55.939 --> 00:35:56.219
 me

00:35:56.219 --> 00:35:59.219
 so Jesus

00:35:59.219 --> 00:35:59.779
 expounds

00:35:59.779 --> 00:36:00.259
 on the

00:36:00.259 --> 00:36:01.079
 teaching

00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:02.899
 by illustrating

00:36:02.899 --> 00:36:03.159
 it

00:36:03.159 --> 00:36:04.679
 and in

00:36:04.679 --> 00:36:05.299
 this case

00:36:05.299 --> 00:36:06.399
 he picks

00:36:06.399 --> 00:36:06.659
 up a

00:36:06.659 --> 00:36:06.960
 child

00:36:06.960 --> 00:36:07.339
 maybe

00:36:07.339 --> 00:36:08.379
 maybe one

00:36:08.379 --> 00:36:08.919
 of Peter's

00:36:08.919 --> 00:36:09.179
 if they're

00:36:09.179 --> 00:36:09.659
 in Peter's

00:36:09.659 --> 00:36:09.960
 house

00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:10.519
 perhaps

00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:12.519
 he puts

00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:12.919
 the child

00:36:12.919 --> 00:36:13.239
 on his

00:36:13.239 --> 00:36:13.639
 lap

00:36:13.639 --> 00:36:16.480
 and the

00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:16.759
 child

00:36:16.759 --> 00:36:17.400
 represents

00:36:17.400 --> 00:36:17.819
 here

00:36:17.819 --> 00:36:18.759
 an

00:36:18.759 --> 00:36:19.259
 individual

00:36:19.259 --> 00:36:19.639
 who

00:36:19.639 --> 00:36:20.239
 provides

00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:20.559
 no

00:36:20.559 --> 00:36:21.099
 personal

00:36:21.099 --> 00:36:21.599
 advantage

00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:22.219
 to us

00:36:22.219 --> 00:36:23.299
 that's

00:36:23.299 --> 00:36:23.440
 why

00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:23.599
 he's

00:36:23.599 --> 00:36:23.819
 doing

00:36:23.819 --> 00:36:24.219
 it

00:36:24.219 --> 00:36:26.099
 he

00:36:26.099 --> 00:36:26.400
 doesn't

00:36:26.400 --> 00:36:26.799
 say

00:36:26.799 --> 00:36:27.420
 the

00:36:27.420 --> 00:36:27.859
 greatest

00:36:27.859 --> 00:36:28.799
 of all

00:36:28.799 --> 00:36:29.839
 serves

00:36:29.839 --> 00:36:31.420
 he

00:36:31.420 --> 00:36:31.659
 says

00:36:31.659 --> 00:36:31.839
 the

00:36:31.839 --> 00:36:32.179
 greatest

00:36:32.179 --> 00:36:32.759
 of all

00:36:32.759 --> 00:36:33.940
 serves

00:36:33.940 --> 00:36:34.500
 all

00:36:34.500 --> 00:36:37.259
 sometimes

00:36:37.259 --> 00:36:37.659
 we're not

00:36:37.659 --> 00:36:38.059
 afraid to

00:36:38.059 --> 00:36:38.400
 serve

00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:39.559
 but we're

00:36:39.559 --> 00:36:40.159
 picky about

00:36:40.159 --> 00:36:40.559
 who we

00:36:40.559 --> 00:36:40.900
 serve

00:36:40.900 --> 00:36:43.579
 we'll

00:36:43.579 --> 00:36:43.900
 serve

00:36:43.900 --> 00:36:44.099
 the

00:36:44.099 --> 00:36:44.500
 ones

00:36:44.500 --> 00:36:44.880
 who

00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:45.280
 maybe

00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:45.740
 provide

00:36:45.740 --> 00:36:45.960
 some

00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:46.139
 type

00:36:46.139 --> 00:36:46.300
 of

00:36:46.300 --> 00:36:46.660
 benefit

00:36:46.660 --> 00:36:46.920
 for

00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:47.099
 us

00:36:47.099 --> 00:36:47.220
 in

00:36:47.220 --> 00:36:47.599
 return

00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:49.619
 you know

00:36:49.619 --> 00:36:51.460
 this guy

00:36:51.460 --> 00:36:51.920
 works for

00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:52.460
 the Panthers

00:36:52.460 --> 00:36:52.900
 I'm gonna

00:36:52.900 --> 00:36:53.280
 make sure

00:36:53.280 --> 00:36:53.519
 to go

00:36:53.519 --> 00:36:53.860
 cut his

00:36:53.860 --> 00:36:54.139
 grass

00:36:54.139 --> 00:36:54.559
 maybe he'll

00:36:54.559 --> 00:36:54.920
 throw some

00:36:54.920 --> 00:36:55.420
 tickets my

00:36:55.420 --> 00:36:55.680
 way

00:36:55.680 --> 00:36:55.980
 you know

00:36:55.980 --> 00:36:56.139
 what I

00:36:56.139 --> 00:36:56.300
 mean

00:36:56.300 --> 00:36:56.760
 we do

00:36:56.760 --> 00:36:57.000
 that

00:36:57.000 --> 00:36:57.260
 right

00:36:57.260 --> 00:36:58.079
 we're

00:36:58.079 --> 00:36:58.380
 selfish

00:36:58.380 --> 00:36:59.119
 like that

00:36:59.119 --> 00:37:00.260
 Jesus

00:37:00.260 --> 00:37:00.599
 says

00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:00.900
 no

00:37:00.900 --> 00:37:02.180
 what I

00:37:02.180 --> 00:37:02.400
 mean

00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:02.700
 is the

00:37:02.700 --> 00:37:02.940
 type

00:37:02.940 --> 00:37:03.099
 of

00:37:03.099 --> 00:37:03.660
 service

00:37:03.660 --> 00:37:05.280
 that

00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:05.639
 serves

00:37:05.639 --> 00:37:06.039
 the people

00:37:06.039 --> 00:37:06.420
 that offer

00:37:06.420 --> 00:37:06.800
 nothing

00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:07.340
 in return

00:37:07.340 --> 00:37:08.920
 the people

00:37:08.920 --> 00:37:09.220
 that are

00:37:09.220 --> 00:37:09.559
 helpless

00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:11.079
 the people

00:37:11.079 --> 00:37:11.440
 that maybe

00:37:11.440 --> 00:37:11.960
 at times

00:37:11.960 --> 00:37:12.180
 are

00:37:12.180 --> 00:37:13.380
 annoying

00:37:13.380 --> 00:37:15.660
 maybe

00:37:15.660 --> 00:37:16.180
 our enemy

00:37:16.180 --> 00:37:18.660
 we serve

00:37:18.660 --> 00:37:19.120
 them all

00:37:19.120 --> 00:37:21.480
 I want you

00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:21.780
 to think

00:37:21.780 --> 00:37:21.980
 of the

00:37:21.980 --> 00:37:22.300
 visual

00:37:22.300 --> 00:37:22.800
 impact

00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:23.120
 of this

00:37:23.120 --> 00:37:23.740
 illustration

00:37:23.740 --> 00:37:28.120
 Harper

00:37:28.120 --> 00:37:28.460
 you stand

00:37:28.460 --> 00:37:28.800
 up for a

00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:29.019
 second

00:37:29.019 --> 00:37:30.300
 just stand

00:37:30.300 --> 00:37:30.620
 up

00:37:30.620 --> 00:37:31.680
 notice

00:37:31.680 --> 00:37:32.180
 what Jesus

00:37:32.180 --> 00:37:32.620
 does

00:37:32.620 --> 00:37:34.579
 he gets

00:37:34.579 --> 00:37:35.059
 a seat

00:37:35.059 --> 00:37:36.140
 in the

00:37:36.140 --> 00:37:36.400
 middle of

00:37:36.400 --> 00:37:36.880
 the house

00:37:36.880 --> 00:37:38.200
 and he

00:37:38.200 --> 00:37:38.599
 grabs a

00:37:38.599 --> 00:37:38.760
 child

00:37:38.760 --> 00:37:38.880
 that's

00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:39.079
 probably

00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:39.280
 much

00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:39.500
 younger

00:37:39.500 --> 00:37:39.680
 than

00:37:39.680 --> 00:37:39.940
 Harper

00:37:39.940 --> 00:37:40.380
 but she's

00:37:40.380 --> 00:37:40.780
 the smallest

00:37:40.780 --> 00:37:40.940
 one

00:37:40.940 --> 00:37:41.059
 here

00:37:41.059 --> 00:37:41.240
 well

00:37:41.240 --> 00:37:41.559
 Winnie's

00:37:41.559 --> 00:37:41.680
 here

00:37:41.680 --> 00:37:41.920
 isn't

00:37:41.920 --> 00:37:42.059
 she

00:37:42.059 --> 00:37:42.280
 but I

00:37:42.280 --> 00:37:42.420
 won't

00:37:42.420 --> 00:37:42.599
 mess

00:37:42.599 --> 00:37:42.740
 with

00:37:42.740 --> 00:37:43.000
 Winnie

00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:46.460
 he says

00:37:46.460 --> 00:37:46.860
 he takes

00:37:46.860 --> 00:37:47.420
 the child

00:37:47.420 --> 00:37:49.940
 and he

00:37:49.940 --> 00:37:50.420
 embraces

00:37:50.420 --> 00:37:51.019
 the child

00:37:51.019 --> 00:37:53.640
 he says

00:37:53.640 --> 00:37:53.980
 this is

00:37:53.980 --> 00:37:54.240
 what it

00:37:54.240 --> 00:37:54.640
 means

00:37:54.640 --> 00:37:57.860
 embrace

00:37:57.860 --> 00:37:58.420
 one another

00:37:58.420 --> 00:37:59.380
 the way

00:37:59.380 --> 00:37:59.840
 that Jesus

00:37:59.840 --> 00:38:00.559
 has embraced

00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:01.059
 this child

00:38:01.059 --> 00:38:03.700
 serve

00:38:03.700 --> 00:38:04.079
 the one

00:38:04.079 --> 00:38:04.460
 another

00:38:04.460 --> 00:38:06.099
 the way

00:38:06.099 --> 00:38:06.579
 that Jesus

00:38:06.579 --> 00:38:07.000
 serves

00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:07.219
 this

00:38:07.219 --> 00:38:07.519
 child

00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:09.440
 be

00:38:09.440 --> 00:38:10.299
 affectionate

00:38:10.299 --> 00:38:10.519
 toward

00:38:10.519 --> 00:38:10.759
 one

00:38:10.759 --> 00:38:11.099
 another

00:38:11.099 --> 00:38:11.940
 the way

00:38:11.940 --> 00:38:12.440
 that Jesus

00:38:12.440 --> 00:38:13.719
 was affectionate

00:38:13.719 --> 00:38:14.199
 towards

00:38:14.199 --> 00:38:14.460
 this

00:38:14.460 --> 00:38:14.839
 child

00:38:14.839 --> 00:38:16.539
 she can

00:38:16.539 --> 00:38:16.900
 offer me

00:38:16.900 --> 00:38:17.199
 nothing

00:38:17.199 --> 00:38:17.679
 in return

00:38:17.679 --> 00:38:19.500
 no benefit

00:38:19.500 --> 00:38:19.900
 she actually

00:38:19.900 --> 00:38:20.319
 cost me

00:38:20.319 --> 00:38:20.639
 a lot

00:38:20.639 --> 00:38:23.619
 don't you

00:38:23.619 --> 00:38:28.299
 Jesus says

00:38:28.299 --> 00:38:28.759
 this child

00:38:28.759 --> 00:38:29.159
 cost me

00:38:29.159 --> 00:38:29.639
 everything

00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:33.379
 and yet

00:38:33.379 --> 00:38:34.119
 I love

00:38:34.119 --> 00:38:34.319
 this

00:38:34.319 --> 00:38:34.699
 child

00:38:34.699 --> 00:38:36.579
 I

00:38:36.579 --> 00:38:36.900
 serve

00:38:36.900 --> 00:38:37.139
 this

00:38:37.139 --> 00:38:37.460
 child

00:38:37.460 --> 00:38:39.099
 who

00:38:39.099 --> 00:38:39.379
 are we

00:38:39.379 --> 00:38:39.839
 to think

00:38:39.839 --> 00:38:41.299
 that we're

00:38:41.299 --> 00:38:41.719
 too good

00:38:41.719 --> 00:38:42.099
 to serve

00:38:42.099 --> 00:38:42.480
 others

00:38:42.480 --> 00:38:44.259
 every one

00:38:44.259 --> 00:38:44.500
 of us

00:38:44.500 --> 00:38:44.900
 are enemies

00:38:44.900 --> 00:38:45.339
 of God

00:38:45.339 --> 00:38:46.759
 every one

00:38:46.759 --> 00:38:47.199
 of us

00:38:47.199 --> 00:38:48.339
 yet because

00:38:48.339 --> 00:38:48.659
 of his

00:38:48.659 --> 00:38:49.179
 humble

00:38:49.179 --> 00:38:50.119
 servant

00:38:50.119 --> 00:38:50.940
 heartedness

00:38:50.940 --> 00:38:52.239
 we are

00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:53.099
 reconciled

00:38:53.099 --> 00:38:53.500
 to him

00:38:53.500 --> 00:38:54.759
 at peace

00:38:54.759 --> 00:38:55.219
 with him

00:38:55.219 --> 00:38:56.279
 who are we

00:38:56.279 --> 00:38:56.619
 to think

00:38:56.619 --> 00:38:57.019
 that we

00:38:57.019 --> 00:38:57.639
 can't serve

00:38:57.639 --> 00:38:58.159
 the ones

00:38:58.159 --> 00:38:59.119
 who we're

00:38:59.119 --> 00:38:59.699
 not at peace

00:38:59.699 --> 00:39:00.239
 with now

00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:01.900
 who have

00:39:01.900 --> 00:39:02.679
 hurt us

00:39:02.679 --> 00:39:05.900
 Jesus

00:39:05.900 --> 00:39:06.659
 says no

00:39:06.659 --> 00:39:08.079
 greatness

00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:09.920
 is to

00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:10.279
 serve

00:39:10.279 --> 00:39:12.719
 greatness

00:39:12.719 --> 00:39:13.799
 is to

00:39:13.799 --> 00:39:14.199
 love

00:39:14.199 --> 00:39:16.000
 and the

00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:16.879
 real punch

00:39:16.879 --> 00:39:17.539
 packed into

00:39:17.539 --> 00:39:17.940
 this

00:39:17.940 --> 00:39:19.460
 is when

00:39:19.460 --> 00:39:20.000
 he says

00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:22.259
 when you

00:39:22.259 --> 00:39:22.960
 receive one

00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:23.719
 like this

00:39:23.719 --> 00:39:25.719
 it's as if

00:39:25.719 --> 00:39:26.259
 you're receiving

00:39:26.259 --> 00:39:26.639
 me

00:39:26.639 --> 00:39:28.859
 and when

00:39:28.859 --> 00:39:29.339
 you receive

00:39:29.339 --> 00:39:29.719
 me

00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:30.879
 you receive

00:39:30.879 --> 00:39:31.480
 the father

00:39:31.480 --> 00:39:32.440
 now think

00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:32.940
 about that

00:39:32.940 --> 00:39:33.960
 what if we

00:39:33.960 --> 00:39:34.400
 were to walk

00:39:34.400 --> 00:39:34.940
 that statement

00:39:34.940 --> 00:39:35.460
 backwards

00:39:35.460 --> 00:39:37.279
 the one

00:39:37.279 --> 00:39:38.000
 who embraces

00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:38.779
 the father

00:39:38.779 --> 00:39:40.000
 embraces

00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:40.739
 the son

00:39:40.739 --> 00:39:42.279
 and the

00:39:42.279 --> 00:39:42.839
 one who

00:39:42.839 --> 00:39:43.379
 embraces

00:39:43.379 --> 00:39:44.099
 the son

00:39:44.099 --> 00:39:45.539
 embraces

00:39:45.539 --> 00:39:46.239
 the ones

00:39:46.239 --> 00:39:46.920
 that belong

00:39:46.920 --> 00:39:47.659
 to the son

00:39:47.659 --> 00:39:49.759
 whether they're

00:39:49.759 --> 00:39:50.259
 of status

00:39:50.259 --> 00:39:50.639
 or not

00:39:50.639 --> 00:39:50.960
 it doesn't

00:39:50.960 --> 00:39:51.279
 matter

00:39:51.279 --> 00:39:54.099
 maybe we

00:39:54.099 --> 00:39:54.460
 phrase it

00:39:54.460 --> 00:39:54.779
 one more

00:39:54.779 --> 00:39:55.059
 way

00:39:55.059 --> 00:39:56.279
 this time

00:39:56.279 --> 00:39:56.840
 emphasizing

00:39:56.840 --> 00:39:57.400
 the negative

00:39:57.400 --> 00:39:59.900
 those who

00:39:59.900 --> 00:40:00.460
 do not

00:40:00.460 --> 00:40:01.039
 embrace

00:40:01.039 --> 00:40:01.639
 one such

00:40:01.639 --> 00:40:02.320
 like this

00:40:02.320 --> 00:40:04.000
 does not

00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:04.380
 embrace

00:40:04.380 --> 00:40:04.860
 the son

00:40:04.860 --> 00:40:07.019
 and one

00:40:07.019 --> 00:40:07.440
 who does

00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:08.000
 not embrace

00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:08.539
 the son

00:40:08.539 --> 00:40:10.199
 does not

00:40:10.199 --> 00:40:10.539
 embrace

00:40:10.539 --> 00:40:11.099
 the father

00:40:11.099 --> 00:40:13.039
 r.c.

00:40:13.099 --> 00:40:13.360
 sproul

00:40:13.360 --> 00:40:13.820
 said

00:40:13.820 --> 00:40:15.860
 we want

00:40:15.860 --> 00:40:16.299
 glory

00:40:16.299 --> 00:40:16.840
 without the

00:40:16.840 --> 00:40:17.259
 cross

00:40:17.259 --> 00:40:19.380
 we want

00:40:19.380 --> 00:40:19.820
 greatness

00:40:19.820 --> 00:40:20.239
 without

00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:20.980
 humiliation

00:40:20.980 --> 00:40:21.139
 salvation

00:40:21.139 --> 00:40:23.460
 jesus said

00:40:23.460 --> 00:40:23.820
 you can't

00:40:23.820 --> 00:40:24.139
 get it

00:40:24.139 --> 00:40:24.719
 that way

00:40:24.719 --> 00:40:27.139
 and what

00:40:27.139 --> 00:40:27.820
 jesus taught

00:40:27.820 --> 00:40:28.139
 in this

00:40:28.139 --> 00:40:28.480
 moment

00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:29.219
 says r.c.

00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:29.800
 is not an

00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:30.119
 abstract

00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:30.639
 principle

00:40:30.639 --> 00:40:31.340
 of life

00:40:31.340 --> 00:40:32.740
 it was

00:40:32.740 --> 00:40:33.300
 the principle

00:40:33.300 --> 00:40:33.659
 that he

00:40:33.659 --> 00:40:34.139
 was living

00:40:34.139 --> 00:40:34.619
 out in

00:40:34.619 --> 00:40:35.019
 front of

00:40:35.019 --> 00:40:35.159
 his

00:40:35.159 --> 00:40:35.639
 disciples

00:40:35.639 --> 00:40:36.440
 every

00:40:36.440 --> 00:40:36.800
 single

00:40:36.800 --> 00:40:37.159
 day

00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:40.059
 you see

00:40:40.059 --> 00:40:40.219
 our

00:40:40.219 --> 00:40:40.820
 faithfulness

00:40:40.820 --> 00:40:41.519
 as disciples

00:40:41.519 --> 00:40:42.199
 is directly

00:40:42.199 --> 00:40:42.699
 linked

00:40:42.699 --> 00:40:43.300
 to our

00:40:43.300 --> 00:40:43.960
 understanding

00:40:43.960 --> 00:40:44.500
 of jesus

00:40:44.500 --> 00:40:44.860
 and the

00:40:44.860 --> 00:40:45.280
 gospel

00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:47.280
 and the

00:40:47.280 --> 00:40:47.820
 only way

00:40:47.820 --> 00:40:48.140
 to get

00:40:48.140 --> 00:40:48.660
 our eyes

00:40:48.660 --> 00:40:49.280
 off of

00:40:49.280 --> 00:40:49.860
 ourselves

00:40:49.860 --> 00:40:51.000
 is to

00:40:51.000 --> 00:40:51.580
 fix them

00:40:51.580 --> 00:40:52.040
 instead

00:40:52.040 --> 00:40:53.000
 on the

00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:53.780
 lord jesus

00:40:53.780 --> 00:40:55.660
 and only

00:40:55.660 --> 00:40:56.100
 when we

00:40:56.100 --> 00:40:56.600
 fix our

00:40:56.600 --> 00:40:57.019
 eyes on

00:40:57.019 --> 00:40:57.400
 him

00:40:57.400 --> 00:40:58.360
 will we

00:40:58.360 --> 00:40:58.880
 learn to

00:40:58.880 --> 00:40:59.160
 serve

00:40:59.160 --> 00:40:59.580
 others

00:40:59.580 --> 00:41:00.320
 in

00:41:00.320 --> 00:41:00.760
 humility
