00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.419
 Good morning, saints of Siwi Bay. It is great to be with you, and it is a joy and an honor to preach for you this morning.

00:00:10.419 --> 00:00:18.660
 And I bring greetings from the saints of Holy City, the pastors, the elders, the membership on James Island.

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:27.000
 There's nothing more necessary in today's day and age than like-minded, healthy churches.

00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:36.539
 The reality is we live in a world of compromise today, and it was a joy for me to get acquainted with you all and to speak to your pastor

00:00:36.539 --> 00:00:43.760
 and to just know that the faithful word of Christ is being proclaimed out this way as it is our way.

00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:53.060
 This morning, thus far, we have worshiped the triune God in at least three ways.

00:00:53.060 --> 00:01:01.900
 So far, we have confessed the faith. We've used our minds and our voices to exalt the triune God through singing.

00:01:02.859 --> 00:01:08.859
 We have responded to the goodness and mercy of God through our giving.

00:01:08.859 --> 00:01:19.700
 And as we come now to the preaching of the word, the apostle Paul tells us in Romans that the word of God preached and proclaimed

00:01:19.700 --> 00:01:24.379
 is the means by which we have been born again.

00:01:25.259 --> 00:01:32.920
 Through the word preached, the saving gospel of repentance and faith has come to save us from our sins.

00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:39.879
 And whether or not that was through our parents, maybe an evangelist, maybe in a church service,

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:45.460
 nevertheless, it was God's truth proclaimed that was used by the Spirit

00:01:45.460 --> 00:01:50.900
 to transfer us from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of the beloved Son.

00:01:50.900 --> 00:02:02.600
 It is the word of God preached and proclaimed, not only, but loved and trusted and applied to the saints

00:02:02.600 --> 00:02:10.759
 by which we are instructed in righteousness, encouraged, admonished, sanctified.

00:02:11.460 --> 00:02:18.920
 How we endure trials, trusting Christ alone for salvation, and how ultimately we're kept till the end.

00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:26.699
 Our text this morning will be Philippians chapter 2, verses 5 through 11.

00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:31.959
 And before we read that and the word is exposited and preached,

00:02:32.239 --> 00:02:37.859
 I'm going to say one more prayer and ask the Lord to be with us and to bless our time together.

00:02:39.259 --> 00:02:40.399
 Lord, we love you.

00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:44.839
 We've come together to worship you on the Lord's day.

00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:52.640
 The day in which we remember that the resurrection of Christ actually occurred.

00:02:53.480 --> 00:02:59.219
 Lord, we remember that you are Lord and you are exalted and you are the King.

00:03:00.420 --> 00:03:04.900
 Lord, please speak, convert the lost, and edify the saints.

00:03:04.900 --> 00:03:07.120
 We love you, Lord.

00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:09.099
 In Christ's name, amen.

00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:16.439
 If you haven't yet, you can turn in your Bibles to Paul's epistle to the Philippians,

00:03:16.980 --> 00:03:21.360
 chapter 2, verses 5 to 11.

00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:28.719
 Again, Paul's epistle to the Philippians, chapter 2, verses 5 to 11.

00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:34.659
 Please stand for the reading of God's word.

00:03:34.659 --> 00:03:46.039
 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,

00:03:46.300 --> 00:03:52.939
 who though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,

00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:59.240
 but emptied himself by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.

00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:05.360
 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death,

00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:07.659
 even death on a cross.

00:04:08.700 --> 00:04:13.640
 Therefore, God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,

00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:20.199
 so that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

00:04:20.620 --> 00:04:25.500
 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.

00:04:25.500 --> 00:04:30.399
 Let he who has ears to hear the word of God, let him hear.

00:04:30.620 --> 00:04:31.300
 Please be seated.

00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:42.259
 Well, I certainly didn't expect the Baptist Catechism confession and reading

00:04:42.259 --> 00:04:50.199
 in the Lord's providence to align in particular with our text this morning.

00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:56.159
 He's kind to do such a thing to remind us he's truly with us.

00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:58.800
 This text is important.

00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:00.979
 It's very special.

00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:07.919
 It's special and important because it is the clearest explanation of the truth

00:05:07.919 --> 00:05:14.180
 that the eternal person of God the Son became man.

00:05:14.180 --> 00:05:22.759
 If we get Christ wrong, we end up trusting in a Christ who doesn't exist.

00:05:23.340 --> 00:05:25.120
 We end up perishing.

00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:35.879
 And that is why Satan has launched since the apostolic age a full assault on teaching regarding the person of Christ.

00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:45.459
 false doctrine, false religion, false apostles, Jesus warns, false prophets, Paul warns, the Ephesian elders,

00:05:45.939 --> 00:05:50.620
 many false prophets will arise even from among yourselves, speaking what?

00:05:51.139 --> 00:05:52.740
 Twisted things.

00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:57.800
 Not necessarily immoral things, things that are intentionally wrong.

00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:02.759
 False teachers, if you want to remember something, remember this.

00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:10.740
 False teachers use our vocabulary but not our dictionary.

00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:15.959
 They use the same words and they mean something else.

00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:22.800
 And we want to be diligent in the whole counsel of God, understanding it.

00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:24.899
 Reading the Bible is one thing.

00:06:24.899 --> 00:06:32.819
 Understanding what the Bible teaches is something altogether different, vitally important.

00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:38.379
 We want to be diligent in understanding what God has revealed to us by his word.

00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:43.439
 And not just understanding it, not just understanding it to win theological arguments.

00:06:45.219 --> 00:06:46.699
 No, we want to love him.

00:06:46.979 --> 00:06:50.560
 We want to have true inward devotion toward him.

00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.339
 We want to know him, love him, and worship him rightly.

00:06:54.280 --> 00:06:58.780
 We want to trust it, speak it, believe it from the heart.

00:06:59.540 --> 00:07:05.840
 And we want to apply it to our lives so we can walk in holiness and honoring him.

00:07:07.139 --> 00:07:15.300
 A saving relationship with Christ is the most important relationship you can have in this life.

00:07:15.300 --> 00:07:27.340
 He honors the Father because the Father sent the Son and commands that the Son share in that honor.

00:07:27.339 --> 00:07:41.539
 There are approximately 150 to 200 warnings and references related to false teaching and doctrinal error in the New Testament alone.

00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:50.059
 It is the constant fear and, in a sense, anxiousness of the apostles who are planning churches,

00:07:50.259 --> 00:07:54.799
 who are raising up lost people, who are establishing the truth and teaching.

00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:56.600
 Hey, watch your doctrine.

00:07:56.740 --> 00:07:57.439
 Watch your teaching.

00:07:57.579 --> 00:07:58.520
 Hold fast to it.

00:07:58.740 --> 00:07:59.819
 Don't depart from it.

00:07:59.939 --> 00:08:00.439
 Love it.

00:08:02.620 --> 00:08:10.139
 The Apostle John, later in life, inspired by the Spirit, gave us the letter 1 John.

00:08:11.840 --> 00:08:22.220
 And in 1 John chapter 4, our Father in the faith gives us a warning regarding the theology of the person of Christ.

00:08:22.220 --> 00:08:24.720
 In 1 John 4, I'll read it.

00:08:24.780 --> 00:08:25.840
 You can stay in Philippians.

00:08:26.640 --> 00:08:27.860
 He says this,

00:08:27.860 --> 00:08:38.480
 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, spirit meaning person, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God.

00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:42.440
 For many false prophets have gone out into the world.

00:08:43.379 --> 00:08:46.180
 By this you know the Spirit of God.

00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:53.560
 Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God.

00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:59.099
 And every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God.

00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:06.019
 This is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world today.

00:09:06.859 --> 00:09:12.079
 Jonathan Edwards, commenting on this passage in his work,

00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:19.540
 The Distinguishing Marks of a Work of the Spirit of God, has argued, rightly, I think,

00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:29.360
 that the first test of any movement of any church that claims itself to be of Christ or Christian,

00:09:29.620 --> 00:09:34.080
 or whether or not they're orthodox in their confession, faith, and teaching,

00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:48.480
 He argued that 1 John, from 1 John, that a right Christological view that is birth of the Spirit leads people to truth regarding Christ and not error.

00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:53.960
 And moreover, produces genuine love for God.

00:09:53.960 --> 00:10:01.180
 If we are to love God with all of our heart, mind, soul, and strength,

00:10:01.400 --> 00:10:05.600
 we must know who He has revealed Himself to be.

00:10:06.900 --> 00:10:11.639
 And when He is dishonored or falsely taught,

00:10:12.420 --> 00:10:15.680
 we must be bold to clarify the truth and defend that truth.

00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:25.739
 We remember earlier, from John's Gospel, in chapter 1,

00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:30.979
 that he laid the theology of the person of Christ,

00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:34.659
 of whom we are to trust and believe for eternal life in a few ways.

00:10:35.379 --> 00:10:37.559
 Briefly, I love John's Gospel,

00:10:38.199 --> 00:10:43.939
 because in the Synoptic Gospels, or Matthew, Mark, and Luke,

00:10:43.940 --> 00:10:49.440
 it takes a bit of time to see the full glory of Christ and His deity on display.

00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:53.080
 John is just like, chapter 1, verse 1, Jesus is God.

00:10:53.540 --> 00:10:54.360
 I love that.

00:10:54.540 --> 00:10:58.040
 And you see the rest of the storyline unfold from there.

00:11:00.140 --> 00:11:03.400
 As we transition to Philippians, I want to lay this foundation.

00:11:04.100 --> 00:11:04.980
 He is the Word.

00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:06.780
 He is the Logos.

00:11:09.020 --> 00:11:12.700
 Logos, John doesn't define why he uses that term.

00:11:12.700 --> 00:11:14.460
 There's a reason for that.

00:11:14.640 --> 00:11:17.120
 Because the audience, the recipients of the letter,

00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:18.960
 didn't need a definition for that.

00:11:19.920 --> 00:11:23.280
 For the Jews, the Logos, they understood,

00:11:23.560 --> 00:11:27.640
 was the eternal Word of God's power who created all things in Genesis 1.

00:11:28.340 --> 00:11:29.820
 For the Gentiles,

00:11:30.940 --> 00:11:35.960
 they had a false Gentile theology

00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:37.780
 of the same word,

00:11:37.900 --> 00:11:43.100
 which was our today's unbelieving version of intelligent design,

00:11:43.740 --> 00:11:44.800
 an agnostic view.

00:11:45.800 --> 00:11:48.259
 The Greeks understood there is a God,

00:11:48.340 --> 00:11:49.280
 but we don't know Him.

00:11:49.379 --> 00:11:50.240
 But we know

00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:53.040
 that He's omnipotent in power,

00:11:53.139 --> 00:11:54.040
 created all things.

00:11:54.740 --> 00:11:55.300
 John says,

00:11:55.379 --> 00:11:56.139
 Hey, Greeks,

00:11:56.300 --> 00:11:57.379
 that eternal,

00:11:57.580 --> 00:11:58.220
 omnipotent,

00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:00.080
 unknown person

00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:01.480
 who created all things,

00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:03.279
 His name is Jesus,

00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:05.259
 and He became man.

00:12:06.259 --> 00:12:07.879
 We also learn

00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:11.820
 that Jesus is distinct

00:12:11.820 --> 00:12:13.600
 from the Father,

00:12:14.460 --> 00:12:16.019
 is God,

00:12:17.019 --> 00:12:19.159
 and is eternal and uncreated.

00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:22.379
 Jesus, or the Word,

00:12:23.180 --> 00:12:24.980
 is with God,

00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:26.860
 and is God.

00:12:26.860 --> 00:12:29.200
 That word,

00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:29.960
 with God,

00:12:30.019 --> 00:12:30.680
 in our English,

00:12:30.800 --> 00:12:31.659
 doesn't give us

00:12:31.659 --> 00:12:33.779
 enough information.

00:12:33.980 --> 00:12:34.440
 In the Greek,

00:12:34.560 --> 00:12:35.639
 prostantheion,

00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:36.580
 speaks of

00:12:36.580 --> 00:12:37.879
 an eternal

00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:38.980
 love

00:12:38.980 --> 00:12:40.039
 relationship.

00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:42.580
 It speaks of

00:12:42.580 --> 00:12:43.539
 communion.

00:12:44.820 --> 00:12:45.480
 Eternally,

00:12:45.740 --> 00:12:47.840
 all three persons of the Trinity

00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:48.740
 have existed,

00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:51.420
 being three distinct persons

00:12:51.420 --> 00:12:52.960
 sharing one divine nature,

00:12:53.379 --> 00:12:54.600
 in perfect love,

00:12:54.740 --> 00:12:55.360
 in fellowship,

00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:56.360
 in communion.

00:12:56.860 --> 00:12:58.840
 We see that this

00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:00.060
 eternal Lagos

00:13:00.060 --> 00:13:01.500
 created all things,

00:13:01.899 --> 00:13:04.519
 and we see that

00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:06.220
 this eternal,

00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:08.000
 uncreated person

00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:10.360
 who was with God

00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:11.200
 in perfect loving

00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:11.759
 community

00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:13.659
 and relationship,

00:13:14.659 --> 00:13:17.080
 He took on flesh,

00:13:17.700 --> 00:13:19.600
 and He dwelt among us.

00:13:21.139 --> 00:13:23.039
 This is what the Nicene Creed

00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:24.080
 states about

00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:26.120
 the divinity of Christ.

00:13:26.860 --> 00:13:28.159
 We believe in one

00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:29.480
 Lord Jesus Christ,

00:13:30.139 --> 00:13:31.580
 the only begotten

00:13:31.580 --> 00:13:32.440
 Son of God,

00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:34.200
 begotten of the Father

00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:35.300
 before all ages,

00:13:36.019 --> 00:13:36.980
 light of light,

00:13:37.539 --> 00:13:39.220
 very God of very God,

00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:40.379
 begotten,

00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:41.560
 not made,

00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:43.860
 being of one substance

00:13:43.860 --> 00:13:44.560
 with the Father

00:13:44.560 --> 00:13:45.519
 by whom all things

00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:45.919
 were made.

00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:47.639
 Briefly on begotten,

00:13:47.700 --> 00:13:48.120
 not made.

00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:49.440
 Look,

00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:50.620
 I understand that's confusing.

00:13:51.800 --> 00:13:52.060
 Okay?

00:13:52.059 --> 00:13:53.539
 Because we're not God,

00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:54.159
 we're human.

00:13:56.439 --> 00:13:58.079
 This must be understood.

00:13:58.979 --> 00:13:59.139
 Okay?

00:14:00.259 --> 00:14:01.000
 Begotten

00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:03.099
 is only meant

00:14:03.099 --> 00:14:03.959
 to communicate.

00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:05.000
 Okay?

00:14:05.959 --> 00:14:07.919
 The eternal way

00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:09.339
 that the Father and Son

00:14:09.339 --> 00:14:10.559
 have loved and related

00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:12.039
 to another eternally.

00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:15.480
 The Son is loved

00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:17.219
 as the Father's begotten.

00:14:19.059 --> 00:14:20.139
 That is what it's meant

00:14:20.139 --> 00:14:20.639
 to communicate.

00:14:21.179 --> 00:14:22.199
 It is not meant

00:14:22.199 --> 00:14:22.779
 to communicate

00:14:22.779 --> 00:14:23.620
 in any way

00:14:23.620 --> 00:14:26.740
 that as to

00:14:26.740 --> 00:14:28.000
 the three persons

00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:29.099
 of the Trinity's deity,

00:14:29.459 --> 00:14:30.679
 one has more authority

00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:31.599
 or more power

00:14:31.599 --> 00:14:34.539
 or more attributes.

00:14:34.819 --> 00:14:36.120
 They are all omnipotent.

00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:37.460
 They share the,

00:14:38.340 --> 00:14:39.539
 they share immutability,

00:14:39.740 --> 00:14:40.539
 impassibility.

00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:42.159
 They're all omniscient,

00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:43.139
 omnipresent.

00:14:43.620 --> 00:14:45.100
 But although they're distinct

00:14:45.100 --> 00:14:46.299
 and have distinct,

00:14:46.620 --> 00:14:47.580
 specific roles

00:14:47.580 --> 00:14:48.720
 in redemption

00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:49.879
 and how they relate

00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:50.460
 to one another.

00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:53.240
 They are the,

00:14:53.440 --> 00:14:54.279
 the triune God

00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:56.159
 is the only being

00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:57.000
 in existence

00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:58.700
 that exists

00:14:58.700 --> 00:15:00.299
 as three distinct persons

00:15:00.299 --> 00:15:00.899
 yet shares

00:15:00.899 --> 00:15:02.120
 the same divine nature.

00:15:02.700 --> 00:15:02.899
 Okay?

00:15:04.620 --> 00:15:06.000
 It is abundantly

00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:06.620
 clear

00:15:06.620 --> 00:15:08.960
 that the prophets

00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:09.740
 foretold

00:15:09.740 --> 00:15:10.320
 the Messiah

00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:10.899
 would be God

00:15:10.899 --> 00:15:11.580
 in the flesh.

00:15:12.500 --> 00:15:13.799
 Genesis 3.15,

00:15:14.659 --> 00:15:16.700
 the proto-euangelion,

00:15:17.019 --> 00:15:17.940
 the first gospel,

00:15:18.700 --> 00:15:19.720
 it's going to be

00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:20.440
 a seed of a woman

00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:21.159
 who's going to crush

00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:21.899
 the serpent's head.

00:15:24.179 --> 00:15:24.700
 But,

00:15:25.059 --> 00:15:26.440
 in Isaiah 7.14,

00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:28.340
 we see a bigger glimpse

00:15:28.340 --> 00:15:30.580
 that the sign

00:15:30.580 --> 00:15:31.820
 of the Messiah,

00:15:32.740 --> 00:15:33.039
 behold,

00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:34.360
 the virgin will conceive.

00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:35.980
 A virgin conceiving.

00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:37.899
 And his name

00:15:37.899 --> 00:15:38.620
 will be Emmanuel.

00:15:39.620 --> 00:15:41.220
 God will be with us.

00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:42.960
 Later,

00:15:43.340 --> 00:15:44.399
 in Isaiah 9.6,

00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:46.039
 we see that exact same

00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:47.860
 Davidic king's son,

00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:49.840
 the fulfillment

00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:51.740
 of 2 Samuel 7

00:15:51.740 --> 00:15:53.860
 in Isaiah 9.6,

00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:55.139
 that his name

00:15:55.139 --> 00:15:55.659
 will be

00:15:55.659 --> 00:15:57.000
 everlasting father,

00:15:57.720 --> 00:15:58.279
 mighty God,

00:15:58.419 --> 00:15:59.139
 prince of peace.

00:15:59.139 --> 00:15:59.139


00:16:00.139 --> 00:16:01.139
 and

00:16:01.139 --> 00:16:01.799
 the apostles

00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:02.819
 who lived

00:16:02.819 --> 00:16:04.159
 and witnessed

00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:05.460
 the life of Christ,

00:16:05.659 --> 00:16:06.279
 witnessed him

00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:06.939
 personally,

00:16:07.819 --> 00:16:09.139
 proclaim to be

00:16:09.139 --> 00:16:09.960
 God in the flesh,

00:16:10.319 --> 00:16:11.519
 and validate

00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:12.600
 those claims

00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:14.299
 by his miracles,

00:16:14.980 --> 00:16:15.500
 resurrection,

00:16:16.379 --> 00:16:17.039
 and even

00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:17.639
 the father

00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:18.740
 himself,

00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:19.980
 personally speaking

00:16:19.980 --> 00:16:20.500
 from heaven

00:16:20.500 --> 00:16:21.699
 on multiple occasions,

00:16:22.419 --> 00:16:23.019
 affirming

00:16:23.019 --> 00:16:23.559
 Jesus'

00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:24.700
 person and work.

00:16:24.700 --> 00:16:26.280
 briefly on that.

00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:27.879
 You see the launch

00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:28.860
 of the

00:16:28.860 --> 00:16:30.180
 earthly ministry

00:16:30.180 --> 00:16:30.820
 of Christ

00:16:30.820 --> 00:16:32.000
 at his baptism.

00:16:33.340 --> 00:16:34.400
 John the Baptist,

00:16:35.560 --> 00:16:35.860
 hey,

00:16:35.980 --> 00:16:37.200
 you need to baptize me.

00:16:37.980 --> 00:16:39.440
 I'm not baptizing you.

00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:41.660
 the Lord Jesus

00:16:41.660 --> 00:16:43.240
 obviously had no need

00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:44.200
 of showing

00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:45.300
 any form of repentance

00:16:45.300 --> 00:16:46.760
 through baptism,

00:16:46.760 --> 00:16:47.520
 but he did

00:16:47.520 --> 00:16:48.760
 that to

00:16:48.760 --> 00:16:50.080
 fulfill all righteousness.

00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:51.080
 That is to say,

00:16:51.560 --> 00:16:52.340
 whatever the father

00:16:52.340 --> 00:16:53.360
 required of man,

00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:54.180
 Jesus was going

00:16:54.180 --> 00:16:55.240
 to submit and obey.

00:16:57.800 --> 00:16:58.760
 And the father

00:16:58.760 --> 00:16:59.440
 speaks,

00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:01.040
 all three triune

00:17:01.040 --> 00:17:01.960
 persons are present

00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:02.640
 at the baptism

00:17:02.640 --> 00:17:03.180
 of Jesus.

00:17:03.880 --> 00:17:04.680
 This is my

00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:05.660
 beloved son

00:17:05.660 --> 00:17:06.400
 in whom I am

00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:07.019
 well pleased.

00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:08.880
 On the Mount

00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:09.920
 of Transfiguration,

00:17:10.600 --> 00:17:11.840
 when the glory

00:17:11.840 --> 00:17:12.460
 and divinity

00:17:12.460 --> 00:17:12.980
 of Christ

00:17:12.980 --> 00:17:13.840
 is peeled back

00:17:13.840 --> 00:17:14.280
 for Peter,

00:17:14.420 --> 00:17:14.620
 James,

00:17:14.660 --> 00:17:15.520
 and John to see,

00:17:15.980 --> 00:17:16.600
 the father

00:17:16.600 --> 00:17:17.660
 again speaks,

00:17:18.980 --> 00:17:19.640
 this is my

00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:20.420
 beloved son

00:17:20.420 --> 00:17:21.060
 in whom I am

00:17:21.060 --> 00:17:21.800
 well pleased.

00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:23.160
 Listen to him.

00:17:25.340 --> 00:17:26.220
 When Jesus

00:17:26.220 --> 00:17:27.160
 enters Jerusalem,

00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:29.060
 obviously at this

00:17:29.060 --> 00:17:29.420
 point,

00:17:29.540 --> 00:17:30.500
 it's very hostile

00:17:30.500 --> 00:17:32.300
 because

00:17:32.300 --> 00:17:34.060
 Jesus has

00:17:34.060 --> 00:17:35.000
 raised Lazarus

00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:35.660
 from the dead.

00:17:36.540 --> 00:17:37.500
 They have

00:17:37.500 --> 00:17:38.460
 no way

00:17:38.460 --> 00:17:39.620
 to put

00:17:39.620 --> 00:17:40.640
 those rumors

00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:41.360
 to death

00:17:41.360 --> 00:17:42.240
 since

00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:43.140
 there were

00:17:43.140 --> 00:17:44.079
 tons of

00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:44.500
 witnesses

00:17:44.500 --> 00:17:45.640
 to this.

00:17:46.380 --> 00:17:46.940
 And it was

00:17:46.940 --> 00:17:47.840
 the Jewish

00:17:47.840 --> 00:17:49.039
 leader's idea,

00:17:49.180 --> 00:17:49.539
 wait a minute,

00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:50.840
 this is so undeniable,

00:17:51.059 --> 00:17:51.819
 here's our only option,

00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:52.539
 we've got to kill

00:17:52.539 --> 00:17:53.279
 Lazarus.

00:17:55.840 --> 00:17:56.779
 That's how bizarre

00:17:56.779 --> 00:17:57.200
 it got.

00:17:57.400 --> 00:17:58.380
 It was undeniable

00:17:58.380 --> 00:17:59.140
 the truth that

00:17:59.140 --> 00:18:00.259
 Jesus had the ability

00:18:00.259 --> 00:18:01.039
 to raise the dead.

00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:01.920
 The issue for

00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:02.720
 the Jewish leaders

00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:03.740
 was they were

00:18:03.740 --> 00:18:04.579
 trying to teach

00:18:04.579 --> 00:18:05.559
 and proclaim

00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:06.299
 that Jesus

00:18:06.299 --> 00:18:06.899
 was doing

00:18:06.899 --> 00:18:07.419
 his miracles

00:18:07.419 --> 00:18:08.059
 by the power

00:18:08.059 --> 00:18:08.539
 of Satan.

00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:12.200
 That's a big

00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:12.599
 issue

00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:14.480
 because

00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:15.519
 the man

00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:16.000
 is clearly

00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:16.559
 divine.

00:18:17.859 --> 00:18:18.240
 The man

00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:18.799
 is clearly

00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:20.200
 approved

00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:21.720
 by God

00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:23.079
 and Jesus

00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:23.779
 in Jerusalem

00:18:23.779 --> 00:18:25.379
 when he's

00:18:25.379 --> 00:18:25.839
 pronouncing

00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:26.460
 woes

00:18:26.460 --> 00:18:27.599
 on the Pharisees

00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:27.960
 for their

00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:29.339
 false self-righteousness,

00:18:29.980 --> 00:18:30.720
 their false

00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:32.019
 form of Judaism,

00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:32.859
 which was

00:18:32.859 --> 00:18:33.839
 completely foreign

00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:34.919
 to Moses

00:18:34.919 --> 00:18:35.779
 and the prophets.

00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:37.639
 The Father

00:18:37.639 --> 00:18:38.359
 speaks from heaven.

00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:40.639
 These people

00:18:40.639 --> 00:18:41.159
 are trying

00:18:41.159 --> 00:18:41.859
 to have

00:18:41.859 --> 00:18:42.319
 Jesus

00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:42.939
 arrested,

00:18:43.539 --> 00:18:44.199
 put to death

00:18:44.199 --> 00:18:45.879
 according to

00:18:45.879 --> 00:18:46.639
 God's sovereign

00:18:46.639 --> 00:18:47.399
 redemptive plan

00:18:47.399 --> 00:18:48.799
 and Jesus

00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:49.740
 says,

00:18:49.899 --> 00:18:50.199
 Father,

00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:52.679
 glorify your name.

00:18:54.419 --> 00:18:55.319
 And the Father

00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:56.039
 speaks for the

00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:56.539
 whole crowd

00:18:56.539 --> 00:18:56.939
 to hear.

00:18:57.599 --> 00:18:58.199
 These people

00:18:58.199 --> 00:18:58.699
 who are

00:18:58.699 --> 00:18:59.639
 the Pharisees

00:18:59.639 --> 00:19:00.039
 are saying,

00:19:00.159 --> 00:19:00.259
 no,

00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:00.720
 don't listen

00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:01.079
 to him.

00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:02.679
 Jesus

00:19:02.679 --> 00:19:02.960
 says,

00:19:03.019 --> 00:19:03.220
 Father,

00:19:03.339 --> 00:19:03.839
 glorify your

00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:04.099
 name.

00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:05.179
 God

00:19:05.179 --> 00:19:05.679
 speaks from

00:19:05.679 --> 00:19:06.000
 heaven

00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:07.039
 for all

00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:07.500
 to hear.

00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:09.159
 I have

00:19:09.159 --> 00:19:09.899
 glorified it

00:19:09.899 --> 00:19:10.839
 and I

00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:11.419
 will glorify

00:19:11.419 --> 00:19:12.000
 it again.

00:19:15.939 --> 00:19:16.460
 With

00:19:16.460 --> 00:19:16.879
 that being

00:19:16.879 --> 00:19:17.339
 said,

00:19:18.059 --> 00:19:19.399
 let's

00:19:19.399 --> 00:19:19.799
 begin

00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:20.759
 unpacking

00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:21.179
 our text

00:19:21.179 --> 00:19:21.559
 today.

00:19:22.159 --> 00:19:22.579
 This is

00:19:22.579 --> 00:19:23.220
 the theology

00:19:23.220 --> 00:19:23.740
 of the

00:19:23.740 --> 00:19:24.299
 incarnation.

00:19:26.379 --> 00:19:26.879
 Paul

00:19:26.879 --> 00:19:27.319
 begins

00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:27.939
 with this,

00:19:28.599 --> 00:19:29.399
 verse 6,

00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:42.259
 The phrase

00:19:42.259 --> 00:19:42.759
 form of

00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:43.040
 God

00:19:43.040 --> 00:19:44.019
 here is

00:19:44.019 --> 00:19:44.380
 very

00:19:44.380 --> 00:19:44.880
 important.

00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:45.400
 Okay?

00:19:46.340 --> 00:19:47.060
 Paul uses

00:19:47.060 --> 00:19:47.600
 this Greek

00:19:47.600 --> 00:19:48.019
 word

00:19:48.019 --> 00:19:49.259
 morphe.

00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:51.640
 This is

00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:52.120
 referring

00:19:52.120 --> 00:19:53.340
 to Christ

00:19:53.340 --> 00:19:54.140
 already

00:19:54.140 --> 00:19:54.880
 existing

00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:55.759
 as God.

00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:58.160
 It

00:19:58.160 --> 00:19:58.559
 refers

00:19:58.559 --> 00:19:58.900
 to

00:19:58.900 --> 00:19:59.440
 Christ

00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:01.140
 possessing

00:20:01.140 --> 00:20:01.799
 the nature

00:20:01.799 --> 00:20:03.059
 and status

00:20:03.059 --> 00:20:04.200
 as God.

00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:05.220
 And this

00:20:05.220 --> 00:20:05.839
 is reinforced

00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:06.819
 by the

00:20:06.819 --> 00:20:07.400
 next phrase

00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:07.980
 Paul uses,

00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:09.700
 equality

00:20:09.700 --> 00:20:10.319
 with God.

00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:10.920
 He came

00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:11.379
 in the

00:20:11.379 --> 00:20:11.819
 form of

00:20:11.819 --> 00:20:12.099
 God,

00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:12.759
 actual,

00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:14.500
 eternal

00:20:14.500 --> 00:20:15.359
 God,

00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:18.400
 and he

00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:18.940
 was willing

00:20:18.940 --> 00:20:20.039
 to not

00:20:20.039 --> 00:20:20.440
 hold on

00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:20.759
 to that

00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:21.319
 status.

00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:25.619
 Paul

00:20:25.619 --> 00:20:25.960
 said he

00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:26.159
 didn't

00:20:26.159 --> 00:20:26.399
 count

00:20:26.399 --> 00:20:26.779
 equality

00:20:26.779 --> 00:20:27.259
 with God

00:20:27.259 --> 00:20:27.539
 a thing

00:20:27.539 --> 00:20:27.819
 to be

00:20:27.819 --> 00:20:27.980
 held

00:20:27.980 --> 00:20:28.159
 on

00:20:28.159 --> 00:20:28.339
 to.

00:20:29.439 --> 00:20:30.019
 Paul

00:20:30.019 --> 00:20:30.379
 is not

00:20:30.379 --> 00:20:31.079
 describing

00:20:31.079 --> 00:20:33.220
 a mere

00:20:33.220 --> 00:20:34.220
 human being

00:20:34.220 --> 00:20:34.960
 who later

00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:35.439
 became

00:20:35.439 --> 00:20:35.899
 divine.

00:20:36.879 --> 00:20:37.439
 He

00:20:37.439 --> 00:20:37.960
 starts

00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:38.639
 with Christ

00:20:38.639 --> 00:20:39.359
 already

00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:40.119
 existing

00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:41.659
 as God.

00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:42.819
 And I

00:20:42.819 --> 00:20:43.720
 love this

00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:44.319
 in John

00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:44.859
 17,

00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:46.000
 Father,

00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:47.460
 only someone

00:20:47.460 --> 00:20:47.859
 who is

00:20:47.859 --> 00:20:48.319
 equal with

00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:48.639
 God

00:20:48.639 --> 00:20:49.139
 could pray

00:20:49.139 --> 00:20:49.439
 in this

00:20:49.439 --> 00:20:49.720
 way.

00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:51.180
 Father,

00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:52.680
 glorify

00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:53.160
 me

00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:53.759
 with the

00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:54.160
 glory

00:20:54.160 --> 00:20:54.579
 that I

00:20:54.579 --> 00:20:54.880
 had

00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:55.420
 with you

00:20:55.420 --> 00:20:56.400
 before

00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:56.779
 the

00:20:56.779 --> 00:20:57.180
 world

00:20:57.180 --> 00:20:58.120
 existed.

00:21:01.120 --> 00:21:01.819
 He

00:21:01.819 --> 00:21:02.339
 did not

00:21:02.339 --> 00:21:02.759
 give up

00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:02.960
 his

00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:03.319
 deity,

00:21:03.600 --> 00:21:03.900
 okay?

00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:04.900
 We need

00:21:04.900 --> 00:21:05.360
 to understand

00:21:05.360 --> 00:21:05.920
 this.

00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:07.220
 Paul

00:21:07.220 --> 00:21:07.960
 continues,

00:21:09.100 --> 00:21:09.880
 but emptied

00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:10.400
 himself,

00:21:10.700 --> 00:21:11.160
 Philippians

00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:11.380
 2,

00:21:11.460 --> 00:21:11.759
 7.

00:21:12.380 --> 00:21:13.079
 The key

00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:13.519
 question

00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:13.980
 is,

00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:15.420
 how did

00:21:15.420 --> 00:21:15.759
 Christ

00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:16.079
 empty

00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:16.400
 himself?

00:21:16.819 --> 00:21:17.079
 What

00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:17.420
 does he

00:21:17.420 --> 00:21:17.839
 mean by

00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:18.319
 he emptied

00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:18.759
 himself?

00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:22.400
 Paul

00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:23.240
 explains,

00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:24.140
 taking

00:21:24.140 --> 00:21:25.180
 on the

00:21:25.180 --> 00:21:25.680
 morphe

00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:27.160
 of a

00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:27.640
 servant,

00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:29.220
 being

00:21:29.220 --> 00:21:30.200
 born in

00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:31.059
 the likeness

00:21:31.059 --> 00:21:32.339
 of men.

00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:33.559
 Now,

00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:34.880
 he exists

00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:35.140
 in the

00:21:35.140 --> 00:21:35.500
 form of

00:21:35.500 --> 00:21:35.779
 God.

00:21:36.940 --> 00:21:37.279
 He

00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:37.779
 emptied

00:21:37.779 --> 00:21:38.299
 himself

00:21:38.299 --> 00:21:40.600
 by taking

00:21:40.600 --> 00:21:41.420
 on the

00:21:41.420 --> 00:21:42.100
 form of

00:21:42.100 --> 00:21:42.579
 a servant

00:21:42.579 --> 00:21:43.059
 or a

00:21:43.059 --> 00:21:43.620
 slave,

00:21:44.140 --> 00:21:44.940
 a doulos,

00:21:45.360 --> 00:21:46.880
 being born

00:21:46.880 --> 00:21:47.200
 in the

00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:47.559
 likeness

00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:48.000
 of men.

00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:48.940
 Now,

00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:49.720
 notice that

00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:49.980
 the

00:21:49.980 --> 00:21:50.460
 emptying

00:21:50.460 --> 00:21:51.079
 occurs

00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:51.680
 by

00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:52.220
 taking

00:21:52.220 --> 00:21:52.819
 on,

00:21:53.819 --> 00:21:54.359
 not

00:21:54.359 --> 00:21:55.079
 surrendering

00:21:55.079 --> 00:21:55.700
 anything,

00:21:56.380 --> 00:21:56.680
 okay?

00:21:57.559 --> 00:21:58.880
 He does

00:21:58.880 --> 00:21:59.940
 not say,

00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:00.480
 okay,

00:22:00.579 --> 00:22:00.980
 he does

00:22:00.980 --> 00:22:01.599
 not say

00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:02.400
 he emptied

00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:02.900
 himself

00:22:02.900 --> 00:22:04.359
 by ceasing

00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:04.779
 to be

00:22:04.779 --> 00:22:05.220
 God.

00:22:05.740 --> 00:22:06.799
 He emptied

00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:07.359
 himself

00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:08.700
 for a

00:22:08.700 --> 00:22:09.140
 time

00:22:09.140 --> 00:22:11.480
 during his

00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:12.079
 humiliation

00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:12.139
 salvation

00:22:12.139 --> 00:22:13.859
 by adding

00:22:13.859 --> 00:22:14.559
 to himself

00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:15.839
 a true

00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:16.859
 human nature

00:22:16.859 --> 00:22:17.579
 with a

00:22:17.579 --> 00:22:18.019
 true

00:22:18.019 --> 00:22:19.119
 human mind,

00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:20.079
 born

00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:21.240
 under the

00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:21.659
 law,

00:22:22.740 --> 00:22:23.119
 born

00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:25.259
 as our

00:22:25.259 --> 00:22:25.480
 brother

00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:26.399
 prayed in

00:22:26.399 --> 00:22:26.759
 a lowly

00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:27.139
 manger.

00:22:28.579 --> 00:22:29.339
 The

00:22:29.339 --> 00:22:29.819
 eternal

00:22:29.819 --> 00:22:30.559
 son,

00:22:31.199 --> 00:22:31.419
 the

00:22:31.419 --> 00:22:31.980
 eternal

00:22:31.980 --> 00:22:32.699
 creator

00:22:32.699 --> 00:22:34.659
 condescended

00:22:34.660 --> 00:22:37.360
 and he

00:22:37.360 --> 00:22:37.960
 added to

00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:38.500
 himself

00:22:38.500 --> 00:22:40.120
 a true

00:22:40.120 --> 00:22:40.860
 human nature,

00:22:41.980 --> 00:22:42.680
 the

00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:43.160
 eternal

00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:43.860
 son

00:22:43.860 --> 00:22:45.300
 of God,

00:22:46.019 --> 00:22:46.860
 uncreated,

00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:48.440
 all-powerful,

00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:49.980
 became

00:22:49.980 --> 00:22:51.759
 the

00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:52.759
 incarnate

00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:53.259
 son.

00:22:55.259 --> 00:22:56.680
 So he

00:22:56.680 --> 00:22:57.180
 emptied

00:22:57.180 --> 00:22:57.720
 himself

00:22:57.720 --> 00:22:59.400
 by adding

00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:00.000
 humanity

00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:01.319
 and

00:23:01.319 --> 00:23:01.819
 assuming

00:23:01.819 --> 00:23:02.119
 the

00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:02.460
 role

00:23:02.460 --> 00:23:02.740
 of

00:23:02.740 --> 00:23:02.880
 an

00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:03.359
 obedient

00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:04.279
 slave.

00:23:05.339 --> 00:23:05.940
 Dr.

00:23:06.059 --> 00:23:06.359
 Stephen

00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:06.839
 Wellam

00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:07.619
 bringing

00:23:07.619 --> 00:23:08.079
 clarity

00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:08.660
 to this,

00:23:09.579 --> 00:23:09.779
 the

00:23:09.779 --> 00:23:10.180
 son

00:23:10.180 --> 00:23:11.000
 remained

00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:11.720
 truly

00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:12.119
 and

00:23:12.119 --> 00:23:12.480
 fully

00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:13.059
 God

00:23:13.059 --> 00:23:14.220
 during

00:23:14.220 --> 00:23:14.460
 the

00:23:14.460 --> 00:23:15.019
 incarnation.

00:23:15.940 --> 00:23:16.599
 He

00:23:16.599 --> 00:23:17.359
 did not

00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:17.839
 surrender

00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:18.660
 omniscience,

00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:20.180
 omnipotence,

00:23:20.299 --> 00:23:20.799
 or any

00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:21.339
 other divine

00:23:21.339 --> 00:23:21.880
 attribute.

00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:23.259
 Rather,

00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:25.000
 in becoming

00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:25.599
 human,

00:23:25.900 --> 00:23:26.799
 he willingly

00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:27.420
 took on

00:23:27.420 --> 00:23:27.819
 the role

00:23:27.819 --> 00:23:28.140
 of a

00:23:28.140 --> 00:23:28.400
 servant

00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:29.119
 and chose

00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:29.559
 to live

00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:30.099
 in obedience

00:23:30.099 --> 00:23:30.559
 to the

00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:30.899
 Father

00:23:30.899 --> 00:23:31.359
 according

00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:31.720
 to his

00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:31.940
 human

00:23:31.940 --> 00:23:32.339
 nature.

00:23:33.099 --> 00:23:33.279
 The

00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:33.960
 emptying

00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:35.159
 is seen

00:23:35.159 --> 00:23:35.859
 primarily

00:23:35.859 --> 00:23:36.639
 in his

00:23:36.639 --> 00:23:37.339
 humiliation,

00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:38.859
 taking on

00:23:38.859 --> 00:23:39.779
 true humanity,

00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:40.799
 accepting the

00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:41.619
 limitations of

00:23:41.619 --> 00:23:42.319
 human life,

00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:43.779
 and ultimately

00:23:43.779 --> 00:23:45.159
 submitting to

00:23:45.159 --> 00:23:45.659
 death on a

00:23:45.659 --> 00:23:46.059
 cross.

00:23:47.879 --> 00:23:48.940
 The passage

00:23:48.940 --> 00:23:49.679
 is deliberately

00:23:49.679 --> 00:23:50.980
 contrasting in

00:23:50.980 --> 00:23:51.599
 verse 6 and

00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:51.940
 7,

00:23:52.299 --> 00:23:52.740
 form of

00:23:52.740 --> 00:23:53.159
 God,

00:23:54.179 --> 00:23:54.799
 form of

00:23:54.799 --> 00:23:55.139
 servant.

00:23:56.500 --> 00:23:57.099
 And the

00:23:57.099 --> 00:23:57.359
 word

00:23:57.359 --> 00:23:57.960
 morphe,

00:23:58.139 --> 00:23:58.659
 Paul uses

00:23:58.659 --> 00:23:59.519
 intentionally to

00:23:59.519 --> 00:23:59.920
 communicate,

00:24:00.379 --> 00:24:00.960
 he really

00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:01.960
 is eternally

00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:02.359
 God,

00:24:02.460 --> 00:24:03.160
 he really

00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:03.920
 did become

00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:04.759
 truly human.

00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:08.319
 Paul does

00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:09.339
 not say

00:24:09.339 --> 00:24:10.940
 that Christ

00:24:10.940 --> 00:24:11.799
 exchanged

00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:12.720
 one form

00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:13.420
 for another,

00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:14.599
 but rather,

00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:15.920
 the one who

00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:16.460
 is in the

00:24:16.460 --> 00:24:16.879
 form of

00:24:16.879 --> 00:24:18.160
 God took

00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:18.539
 on the

00:24:18.539 --> 00:24:19.019
 form of

00:24:19.019 --> 00:24:19.500
 an obedient

00:24:19.500 --> 00:24:20.160
 slave.

00:24:21.420 --> 00:24:22.519
 The same

00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:22.900
 eternal

00:24:22.900 --> 00:24:24.220
 person of

00:24:24.220 --> 00:24:24.759
 the Son

00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:25.299
 in the

00:24:25.299 --> 00:24:25.960
 incarnation,

00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:26.059
 incarnation,

00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:27.600
 this is

00:24:27.600 --> 00:24:29.559
 incomprehensible,

00:24:29.900 --> 00:24:30.440
 by the way.

00:24:31.039 --> 00:24:31.579
 If this

00:24:31.579 --> 00:24:32.279
 sounds confusing,

00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:33.460
 it is,

00:24:34.380 --> 00:24:34.759
 okay?

00:24:35.960 --> 00:24:36.519
 But we

00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:36.840
 want to be

00:24:36.840 --> 00:24:37.480
 diligent because

00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:37.900
 it's in the

00:24:37.900 --> 00:24:38.160
 text,

00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:38.799
 it's God's

00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:39.259
 given it to

00:24:39.259 --> 00:24:39.640
 us for us

00:24:39.640 --> 00:24:40.100
 to love and

00:24:40.100 --> 00:24:40.500
 trust and

00:24:40.500 --> 00:24:41.059
 understand and

00:24:41.059 --> 00:24:41.579
 confess and

00:24:41.579 --> 00:24:41.960
 defend and

00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:42.600
 die for.

00:24:43.539 --> 00:24:44.259
 The same

00:24:44.259 --> 00:24:44.700
 eternal

00:24:44.700 --> 00:24:45.460
 person of

00:24:45.460 --> 00:24:46.000
 the Son

00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:46.980
 in the

00:24:46.980 --> 00:24:47.579
 incarnation

00:24:47.579 --> 00:24:49.380
 now possesses

00:24:49.380 --> 00:24:50.480
 both a

00:24:50.480 --> 00:24:51.519
 divine nature

00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:53.400
 and a

00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:54.019
 human nature.

00:24:54.339 --> 00:24:54.859
 He is.

00:24:55.900 --> 00:24:56.599
 He is the

00:24:56.599 --> 00:24:57.139
 God-man.

00:24:58.720 --> 00:24:59.400
 His

00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:00.379
 humiliation

00:25:00.379 --> 00:25:03.000
 is his

00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:03.599
 becoming

00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:04.339
 human

00:25:04.339 --> 00:25:05.859
 and

00:25:05.859 --> 00:25:06.440
 obedient.

00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:09.639
 We also

00:25:09.639 --> 00:25:10.139
 read from

00:25:10.139 --> 00:25:10.539
 the

00:25:10.539 --> 00:25:11.119
 catechism

00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:11.859
 of his

00:25:11.859 --> 00:25:12.579
 exaltation.

00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:16.240
 I love

00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:16.779
 this quote

00:25:16.779 --> 00:25:17.720
 by Dr.

00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:18.200
 MacArthur

00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:21.359
 that

00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:23.019
 the stone

00:25:23.019 --> 00:25:23.539
 was rolled

00:25:23.539 --> 00:25:24.119
 away

00:25:24.119 --> 00:25:26.159
 not to

00:25:26.159 --> 00:25:26.839
 let Jesus

00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:27.459
 out,

00:25:27.819 --> 00:25:29.159
 but to

00:25:29.159 --> 00:25:29.619
 let the

00:25:29.619 --> 00:25:30.019
 witnesses

00:25:30.019 --> 00:25:30.500
 in.

00:25:31.159 --> 00:25:31.579
 How do we

00:25:31.579 --> 00:25:32.079
 know that?

00:25:32.259 --> 00:25:33.059
 Because later

00:25:33.059 --> 00:25:33.699
 that night,

00:25:33.899 --> 00:25:34.799
 they're locked

00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:35.359
 in a room,

00:25:35.500 --> 00:25:36.179
 it intentionally

00:25:36.179 --> 00:25:36.879
 says doors

00:25:36.879 --> 00:25:37.359
 are shut

00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:37.879
 and locked,

00:25:38.379 --> 00:25:38.959
 windows are

00:25:38.959 --> 00:25:39.659
 boarded up,

00:25:40.059 --> 00:25:40.559
 and Jesus

00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:41.099
 appears in

00:25:41.099 --> 00:25:41.359
 the midst

00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:41.679
 of them,

00:25:42.439 --> 00:25:42.779
 in his

00:25:42.779 --> 00:25:43.299
 human body.

00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:45.039
 His

00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:45.559
 exalted,

00:25:45.779 --> 00:25:46.879
 glorified state

00:25:46.879 --> 00:25:47.399
 of his

00:25:47.399 --> 00:25:48.459
 new creation

00:25:48.459 --> 00:25:49.119
 body

00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:52.919
 has

00:25:52.919 --> 00:25:53.179
 different

00:25:53.179 --> 00:25:53.719
 limitations.

00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:55.319
 His

00:25:55.319 --> 00:25:55.679
 new

00:25:55.679 --> 00:25:56.319
 glorified

00:25:56.319 --> 00:25:56.639
 human

00:25:56.639 --> 00:25:57.119
 body

00:25:57.119 --> 00:25:58.199
 is made

00:25:58.199 --> 00:25:58.799
 for the

00:25:58.799 --> 00:25:58.959
 new

00:25:58.959 --> 00:25:59.379
 world,

00:25:59.779 --> 00:26:00.859
 which we

00:26:00.859 --> 00:26:01.379
 ourselves

00:26:01.379 --> 00:26:02.399
 will be

00:26:02.399 --> 00:26:02.819
 given as

00:26:02.819 --> 00:26:03.079
 well.

00:26:03.739 --> 00:26:04.419
 No sin,

00:26:04.639 --> 00:26:05.219
 no death,

00:26:05.359 --> 00:26:05.939
 no pain,

00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:06.739
 no crying.

00:26:07.699 --> 00:26:08.019
 He will

00:26:08.019 --> 00:26:08.699
 wipe away

00:26:08.699 --> 00:26:09.379
 every tear.

00:26:10.659 --> 00:26:11.339
 And I

00:26:11.339 --> 00:26:11.899
 love that

00:26:11.899 --> 00:26:13.079
 because

00:26:13.079 --> 00:26:14.579
 it is a

00:26:14.579 --> 00:26:15.239
 reminder for

00:26:15.239 --> 00:26:15.639
 us

00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:17.300
 that there

00:26:17.300 --> 00:26:17.560
 are better

00:26:17.560 --> 00:26:18.180
 days ahead.

00:26:19.940 --> 00:26:20.580
 Here's a

00:26:20.580 --> 00:26:20.980
 question,

00:26:21.820 --> 00:26:23.560
 I think a

00:26:23.560 --> 00:26:24.040
 good question.

00:26:25.080 --> 00:26:25.380
 Now,

00:26:26.060 --> 00:26:27.900
 what is

00:26:27.900 --> 00:26:28.300
 your appeal

00:26:28.300 --> 00:26:28.700
 to heaven?

00:26:29.340 --> 00:26:30.040
 When you

00:26:30.040 --> 00:26:30.640
 think about,

00:26:30.840 --> 00:26:31.120
 man,

00:26:31.780 --> 00:26:32.440
 I can't

00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:32.660
 wait to

00:26:32.660 --> 00:26:32.880
 go to

00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:33.140
 heaven,

00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:34.080
 what are

00:26:34.080 --> 00:26:34.360
 you thinking

00:26:34.360 --> 00:26:34.640
 about?

00:26:35.240 --> 00:26:35.600
 Now,

00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:36.080
 obviously,

00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:36.580
 for some

00:26:36.580 --> 00:26:37.000
 people,

00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:37.780
 okay,

00:26:38.620 --> 00:26:39.600
 they have

00:26:39.600 --> 00:26:40.380
 physical

00:26:40.380 --> 00:26:41.500
 disabilities

00:26:41.500 --> 00:26:41.920
 or things,

00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:42.440
 they're really

00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:43.080
 looking forward

00:26:43.080 --> 00:26:44.320
 to having

00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:44.579
 a new

00:26:44.579 --> 00:26:44.839
 body,

00:26:44.980 --> 00:26:45.399
 that's

00:26:45.399 --> 00:26:45.779
 totally

00:26:45.779 --> 00:26:46.240
 understandable.

00:26:46.480 --> 00:26:46.659
 But,

00:26:47.460 --> 00:26:48.720
 what's

00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:49.000
 your appeal

00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:49.299
 to heaven?

00:26:50.019 --> 00:26:50.359
 Is it

00:26:50.359 --> 00:26:51.099
 simply because

00:26:51.099 --> 00:26:51.460
 you just

00:26:51.460 --> 00:26:51.879
 want no

00:26:51.879 --> 00:26:52.200
 hell?

00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:52.939
 Is it

00:26:52.939 --> 00:26:53.259
 simply

00:26:53.259 --> 00:26:53.899
 because

00:26:53.899 --> 00:26:55.000
 you

00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:56.279
 want

00:26:56.279 --> 00:26:56.980
 the big

00:26:56.980 --> 00:26:57.919
 mansion

00:26:57.919 --> 00:26:58.779
 prepared for

00:26:58.779 --> 00:26:59.079
 you,

00:26:59.220 --> 00:26:59.799
 the crown?

00:27:01.379 --> 00:27:02.019
 What are

00:27:02.019 --> 00:27:02.379
 you thinking

00:27:02.379 --> 00:27:02.720
 about?

00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:03.819
 You know

00:27:03.819 --> 00:27:04.059
 what I'm

00:27:04.059 --> 00:27:04.200
 thinking

00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:04.500
 about?

00:27:04.879 --> 00:27:05.279
 I'm

00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:05.539
 thinking

00:27:05.539 --> 00:27:05.980
 about

00:27:05.980 --> 00:27:07.339
 unhindered

00:27:07.339 --> 00:27:08.480
 true

00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:09.159
 communion

00:27:09.159 --> 00:27:11.000
 with a

00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:11.279
 trying

00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:11.799
 God.

00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:11.839
 God.

00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:14.759
 He is

00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:14.899
 the

00:27:14.899 --> 00:27:15.519
 prize.

00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:17.379
 All of

00:27:17.379 --> 00:27:17.960
 the other

00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:18.839
 things,

00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:20.339
 the blessing

00:27:20.339 --> 00:27:21.299
 and the

00:27:21.299 --> 00:27:21.980
 sonship

00:27:21.980 --> 00:27:22.639
 and the

00:27:22.639 --> 00:27:23.039
 sitting on

00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:23.419
 his throne

00:27:23.419 --> 00:27:23.879
 with him

00:27:23.879 --> 00:27:24.159
 and all

00:27:24.159 --> 00:27:24.460
 that,

00:27:25.700 --> 00:27:25.960
 no,

00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:26.399
 that's not

00:27:26.399 --> 00:27:26.879
 our motive.

00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:27.619
 Our motive

00:27:27.619 --> 00:27:29.200
 is we

00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:29.639
 want to be

00:27:29.639 --> 00:27:30.079
 with him.

00:27:30.700 --> 00:27:31.319
 We want

00:27:31.319 --> 00:27:31.700
 to truly

00:27:31.700 --> 00:27:32.220
 see him

00:27:32.220 --> 00:27:32.579
 as he

00:27:32.579 --> 00:27:32.779
 is,

00:27:32.859 --> 00:27:33.200
 love him

00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:33.559
 as he

00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:33.919
 is.

00:27:35.259 --> 00:27:35.859
 Let that

00:27:35.859 --> 00:27:36.139
 be your

00:27:36.139 --> 00:27:36.559
 motivation.

00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:38.720
 Look,

00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:39.039
 we live

00:27:39.039 --> 00:27:39.240
 in a

00:27:39.240 --> 00:27:40.259
 materialistic,

00:27:40.579 --> 00:27:40.859
 sinful

00:27:40.859 --> 00:27:41.859
 world where

00:27:41.859 --> 00:27:42.259
 all we

00:27:42.259 --> 00:27:42.659
 can think

00:27:42.659 --> 00:27:43.179
 about is

00:27:43.179 --> 00:27:43.439
 getting

00:27:43.439 --> 00:27:43.859
 something

00:27:43.859 --> 00:27:44.319
 else.

00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:46.559
 Now,

00:27:46.679 --> 00:27:47.059
 we must

00:27:47.059 --> 00:27:47.259
 be

00:27:47.259 --> 00:27:47.839
 heaven-minded.

00:27:50.079 --> 00:27:50.839
 We must

00:27:50.839 --> 00:27:51.159
 be.

00:27:52.379 --> 00:27:52.899
 Because

00:27:52.899 --> 00:27:54.099
 true love

00:27:54.099 --> 00:27:54.479
 for God

00:27:54.479 --> 00:27:54.759
 is what

00:27:54.759 --> 00:27:55.559
 motivates us

00:27:55.559 --> 00:27:56.179
 and motivated

00:27:56.179 --> 00:27:56.839
 the apostles

00:27:56.839 --> 00:27:59.059
 to be

00:27:59.059 --> 00:27:59.459
 beheaded

00:27:59.459 --> 00:28:00.639
 and crucified.

00:28:01.919 --> 00:28:02.619
 Some of

00:28:02.619 --> 00:28:02.959
 our

00:28:02.959 --> 00:28:03.799
 Protestant

00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:04.519
 brothers

00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:06.240
 being

00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:07.059
 tied to

00:28:07.059 --> 00:28:07.740
 a stake

00:28:07.740 --> 00:28:08.940
 and set

00:28:08.940 --> 00:28:09.599
 on fire

00:28:09.599 --> 00:28:11.500
 with

00:28:11.500 --> 00:28:12.519
 the

00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:13.220
 attitude

00:28:13.220 --> 00:28:14.380
 Hugh

00:28:14.380 --> 00:28:14.799
 Latimer,

00:28:14.980 --> 00:28:15.279
 Calvin

00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:15.680
 Ridley

00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:16.759
 have the

00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:17.140
 flames

00:28:17.140 --> 00:28:17.599
 coming up

00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:17.859
 to their

00:28:17.859 --> 00:28:18.180
 feet.

00:28:18.339 --> 00:28:18.559
 Mr.

00:28:18.620 --> 00:28:18.819
 Ridley

00:28:18.819 --> 00:28:19.240
 play the

00:28:19.240 --> 00:28:19.519
 man.

00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:20.319
 For

00:28:20.319 --> 00:28:21.079
 we will

00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:21.519
 have

00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:23.960
 sorry

00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:28.259
 he says

00:28:28.259 --> 00:28:31.140
 we will

00:28:31.140 --> 00:28:31.539
 have

00:28:31.539 --> 00:28:32.940
 good

00:28:32.940 --> 00:28:33.279
 dinner.

00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:34.299
 we will

00:28:34.299 --> 00:28:34.559
 have a

00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:34.720
 good

00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:35.000
 dinner

00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:35.200
 with

00:28:35.200 --> 00:28:35.359
 the

00:28:35.359 --> 00:28:35.579
 Lord

00:28:35.579 --> 00:28:36.059
 tonight.

00:28:38.940 --> 00:28:39.500
 And

00:28:39.500 --> 00:28:40.899
 we

00:28:40.899 --> 00:28:41.200
 shall

00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:41.579
 set

00:28:41.579 --> 00:28:42.099
 such a

00:28:42.099 --> 00:28:42.420
 fire

00:28:42.420 --> 00:28:42.619
 in

00:28:42.619 --> 00:28:42.920
 England

00:28:42.920 --> 00:28:44.259
 that

00:28:44.259 --> 00:28:44.440
 will

00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:44.660
 never

00:28:44.660 --> 00:28:44.859
 be

00:28:44.859 --> 00:28:45.059
 put

00:28:45.059 --> 00:28:45.319
 out.

00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:48.759
 So

00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:49.319
 Paul,

00:28:50.279 --> 00:28:51.019
 here's a

00:28:51.019 --> 00:28:51.339
 reminder,

00:28:51.680 --> 00:28:52.480
 do you think

00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:53.039
 about this?

00:28:53.940 --> 00:28:54.399
 Paul was

00:28:54.399 --> 00:28:54.779
 literally

00:28:54.779 --> 00:28:55.559
 killing

00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:56.139
 Christians.

00:28:56.140 --> 00:29:01.200
 the

00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:01.500
 risen

00:29:01.500 --> 00:29:02.120
 Christ

00:29:02.120 --> 00:29:03.420
 appeared

00:29:03.420 --> 00:29:03.900
 to him.

00:29:05.420 --> 00:29:06.020
 He's

00:29:06.020 --> 00:29:06.220
 now

00:29:06.220 --> 00:29:06.640
 writing

00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:07.540
 us

00:29:07.540 --> 00:29:08.040
 this

00:29:08.040 --> 00:29:08.400
 text

00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:08.980
 exalting

00:29:08.980 --> 00:29:09.220
 the

00:29:09.220 --> 00:29:09.580
 son

00:29:09.580 --> 00:29:10.900
 whom

00:29:10.900 --> 00:29:11.220
 he was

00:29:11.220 --> 00:29:11.420
 just

00:29:11.420 --> 00:29:11.940
 executing

00:29:11.940 --> 00:29:12.320
 people

00:29:12.320 --> 00:29:12.520
 for

00:29:12.520 --> 00:29:13.060
 professing

00:29:13.060 --> 00:29:13.280
 him.

00:29:13.500 --> 00:29:13.820
 This

00:29:13.820 --> 00:29:14.020
 is

00:29:14.020 --> 00:29:14.440
 true.

00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:18.160
 Paul,

00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:20.020
 who

00:29:20.020 --> 00:29:20.160
 was

00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:20.460
 formerly

00:29:20.460 --> 00:29:20.880
 Saul,

00:29:22.080 --> 00:29:22.520
 describes

00:29:22.520 --> 00:29:22.759
 this

00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:23.120
 downward

00:29:23.120 --> 00:29:23.620
 movement.

00:29:23.619 --> 00:29:26.259
 ask

00:29:26.259 --> 00:29:26.519
 yourself

00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:26.739
 this

00:29:26.739 --> 00:29:27.079
 question.

00:29:27.219 --> 00:29:27.519
 If you

00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:27.839
 are at

00:29:27.839 --> 00:29:28.000
 the

00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:28.359
 state

00:29:28.359 --> 00:29:28.679
 of the

00:29:28.679 --> 00:29:29.099
 exalted

00:29:29.099 --> 00:29:29.519
 eternal

00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:30.079
 son,

00:29:30.899 --> 00:29:31.359
 are you

00:29:31.359 --> 00:29:31.699
 willing

00:29:31.699 --> 00:29:32.219
 to come

00:29:32.219 --> 00:29:32.399
 be

00:29:32.399 --> 00:29:33.019
 flogged,

00:29:33.099 --> 00:29:33.339
 beaten,

00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:33.899
 murdered,

00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:34.559
 slaughtered,

00:29:34.619 --> 00:29:35.039
 spit on,

00:29:35.199 --> 00:29:36.059
 falsely accused,

00:29:36.259 --> 00:29:36.939
 false trial?

00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:39.419
 Are you

00:29:39.419 --> 00:29:39.959
 doing that

00:29:39.959 --> 00:29:40.979
 if you're

00:29:40.979 --> 00:29:41.299
 God?

00:29:42.339 --> 00:29:43.000
 This is

00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:43.299
 hard to

00:29:43.299 --> 00:29:43.759
 comprehend

00:29:43.759 --> 00:29:44.239
 that God

00:29:44.239 --> 00:29:44.519
 would do

00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:44.839
 such a

00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:45.079
 thing.

00:29:47.399 --> 00:29:47.919
 It

00:29:47.919 --> 00:29:48.399
 elevates

00:29:48.399 --> 00:29:48.579
 the

00:29:48.579 --> 00:29:48.859
 gospel

00:29:48.859 --> 00:29:49.459
 message.

00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:52.279
 Paul

00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:53.159
 describes

00:29:53.159 --> 00:29:53.339
 the

00:29:53.339 --> 00:29:53.599
 downward

00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:54.000
 movement.

00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:55.079
 He

00:29:55.079 --> 00:29:55.439
 existed

00:29:55.439 --> 00:29:55.759
 in the

00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:56.099
 form of

00:29:56.099 --> 00:29:56.459
 God,

00:29:56.799 --> 00:29:57.059
 truly

00:29:57.059 --> 00:29:57.519
 God,

00:29:58.179 --> 00:29:58.459
 took

00:29:58.459 --> 00:29:58.839
 on the

00:29:58.839 --> 00:29:59.199
 form of

00:29:59.199 --> 00:29:59.319
 a

00:29:59.319 --> 00:29:59.719
 slave,

00:30:00.159 --> 00:30:00.459
 servant,

00:30:00.879 --> 00:30:01.179
 really

00:30:01.179 --> 00:30:01.339
 a

00:30:01.339 --> 00:30:01.639
 slave,

00:30:02.899 --> 00:30:04.439
 truly

00:30:04.439 --> 00:30:04.839
 human,

00:30:05.539 --> 00:30:05.759
 truly

00:30:05.759 --> 00:30:06.219
 obedient

00:30:06.219 --> 00:30:06.659
 servant,

00:30:07.159 --> 00:30:08.019
 being

00:30:08.019 --> 00:30:08.439
 born as

00:30:08.439 --> 00:30:08.919
 a man,

00:30:10.379 --> 00:30:10.719
 humbling

00:30:10.719 --> 00:30:11.379
 himself,

00:30:11.899 --> 00:30:12.099
 God

00:30:12.099 --> 00:30:12.439
 humbling

00:30:12.439 --> 00:30:12.899
 himself,

00:30:14.679 --> 00:30:15.339
 becoming

00:30:15.339 --> 00:30:15.819
 obedient

00:30:15.819 --> 00:30:16.139
 unto

00:30:16.139 --> 00:30:16.619
 death,

00:30:17.959 --> 00:30:18.579
 even

00:30:18.579 --> 00:30:18.839
 death

00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:19.079
 on a

00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:19.480
 cross.

00:30:20.579 --> 00:30:20.799
 The

00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:21.559
 humiliation,

00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:22.079
 listen,

00:30:22.419 --> 00:30:23.319
 is not

00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:24.500
 that he

00:30:24.500 --> 00:30:24.980
 ceased

00:30:24.980 --> 00:30:25.339
 being

00:30:25.339 --> 00:30:25.939
 God.

00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:26.919
 The

00:30:26.919 --> 00:30:27.460
 humiliation

00:30:27.460 --> 00:30:28.279
 is this,

00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:28.939
 that the

00:30:28.939 --> 00:30:29.399
 divine

00:30:29.399 --> 00:30:30.000
 son

00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:30.700
 entered

00:30:30.700 --> 00:30:31.019
 the

00:30:31.019 --> 00:30:31.679
 conditions

00:30:31.679 --> 00:30:32.359
 of human

00:30:32.359 --> 00:30:32.859
 weakness,

00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:33.419
 suffering,

00:30:33.539 --> 00:30:34.059
 and death,

00:30:34.220 --> 00:30:35.519
 so that

00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:36.059
 he might

00:30:36.059 --> 00:30:36.539
 store up

00:30:36.539 --> 00:30:36.899
 for us

00:30:36.899 --> 00:30:37.579
 a perfect

00:30:37.579 --> 00:30:38.259
 righteousness

00:30:38.259 --> 00:30:39.779
 that will

00:30:39.779 --> 00:30:40.439
 be imputed

00:30:40.439 --> 00:30:41.460
 to us.

00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:43.500
 He was

00:30:43.500 --> 00:30:44.099
 perfectly

00:30:44.099 --> 00:30:46.339
 a little

00:30:46.339 --> 00:30:46.659
 baby.

00:30:47.659 --> 00:30:48.419
 And then,

00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:48.919
 if you can

00:30:48.919 --> 00:30:49.339
 imagine,

00:30:49.339 --> 00:30:51.319
 sinless,

00:30:51.439 --> 00:30:51.759
 perfect,

00:30:51.939 --> 00:30:52.379
 obedient

00:30:52.379 --> 00:30:53.079
 toddler,

00:30:53.599 --> 00:30:56.139
 and then

00:30:56.139 --> 00:30:56.740
 a young

00:30:56.740 --> 00:30:57.179
 man,

00:30:57.359 --> 00:30:57.720
 and then

00:30:57.720 --> 00:30:58.339
 a teenager,

00:30:58.759 --> 00:30:59.059
 and then

00:30:59.059 --> 00:30:59.419
 a fully

00:30:59.419 --> 00:30:59.939
 grown adult

00:30:59.939 --> 00:31:00.220
 man,

00:31:00.619 --> 00:31:01.039
 perfectly

00:31:01.039 --> 00:31:01.699
 sinless,

00:31:01.939 --> 00:31:02.359
 obedient,

00:31:03.819 --> 00:31:04.240
 loving,

00:31:05.619 --> 00:31:06.220
 worships

00:31:06.220 --> 00:31:06.720
 truly,

00:31:08.379 --> 00:31:08.899
 worships

00:31:08.899 --> 00:31:09.159
 with a

00:31:09.159 --> 00:31:09.959
 right mind.

00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:13.880
 after

00:31:13.880 --> 00:31:14.539
 describing

00:31:14.539 --> 00:31:15.700
 Christ's

00:31:15.700 --> 00:31:16.299
 humiliation,

00:31:17.299 --> 00:31:18.759
 he goes

00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:19.079
 on to

00:31:19.079 --> 00:31:19.400
 say in

00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:20.059
 verse 9,

00:31:20.420 --> 00:31:20.819
 therefore,

00:31:22.539 --> 00:31:23.120
 God has

00:31:23.120 --> 00:31:23.460
 highly

00:31:23.460 --> 00:31:23.940
 exalted

00:31:23.940 --> 00:31:24.340
 him and

00:31:24.340 --> 00:31:24.700
 bestowed

00:31:24.700 --> 00:31:25.019
 on him

00:31:25.019 --> 00:31:25.360
 the name

00:31:25.360 --> 00:31:25.620
 that is

00:31:25.620 --> 00:31:25.840
 above

00:31:25.840 --> 00:31:26.079
 every

00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:26.400
 name.

00:31:28.620 --> 00:31:28.880
 And at

00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:29.240
 the name

00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:30.100
 of Jesus,

00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:31.319
 every knee

00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:31.880
 should bow,

00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:33.380
 and every

00:31:33.380 --> 00:31:33.640
 tongue

00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:34.400
 confess that

00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:35.160
 Jesus Christ

00:31:35.160 --> 00:31:35.680
 is Lord.

00:31:35.680 --> 00:31:37.680
 Now,

00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:39.200
 this language

00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:40.539
 is taken

00:31:40.539 --> 00:31:41.840
 exactly

00:31:41.840 --> 00:31:43.320
 and precisely

00:31:43.320 --> 00:31:45.060
 from Isaiah

00:31:45.060 --> 00:31:45.900
 45,

00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:47.820
 verse 23,

00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:48.460
 where it is

00:31:48.460 --> 00:31:49.000
 Yahweh

00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:50.100
 himself speaking.

00:31:50.960 --> 00:31:51.860
 In Isaiah,

00:31:52.860 --> 00:31:53.900
 it reads

00:31:53.900 --> 00:31:54.380
 this,

00:31:54.779 --> 00:31:55.340
 to me,

00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:56.180
 Yahweh,

00:31:56.440 --> 00:31:56.860
 the true

00:31:56.860 --> 00:31:57.299
 and living

00:31:57.299 --> 00:31:57.759
 triune

00:31:57.759 --> 00:31:58.200
 God,

00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:00.900
 every tongue

00:32:00.900 --> 00:32:01.539
 shall swear

00:32:01.539 --> 00:32:02.200
 allegiance.

00:32:03.160 --> 00:32:03.600
 Who's Paul

00:32:03.600 --> 00:32:04.600
 apply that to?

00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:05.099
 He applies

00:32:05.099 --> 00:32:05.399
 it to

00:32:05.399 --> 00:32:05.819
 Christ.

00:32:06.519 --> 00:32:07.199
 The same

00:32:07.199 --> 00:32:07.619
 way in

00:32:07.619 --> 00:32:08.059
 which the

00:32:08.059 --> 00:32:08.859
 apostle John

00:32:08.859 --> 00:32:10.459
 applies Isaiah's

00:32:10.459 --> 00:32:11.079
 vision of

00:32:11.079 --> 00:32:11.859
 Yahweh in

00:32:11.859 --> 00:32:12.819
 Isaiah 6,

00:32:13.539 --> 00:32:14.019
 the holy,

00:32:14.119 --> 00:32:14.319
 holy,

00:32:14.439 --> 00:32:16.199
 holy text,

00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:17.619
 the whom,

00:32:17.919 --> 00:32:18.740
 who will go,

00:32:18.839 --> 00:32:19.459
 who will send

00:32:19.459 --> 00:32:20.599
 me text,

00:32:21.299 --> 00:32:22.099
 of Yahweh

00:32:22.099 --> 00:32:22.740
 sitting on the

00:32:22.740 --> 00:32:23.119
 throne,

00:32:23.679 --> 00:32:24.699
 and the robes

00:32:24.699 --> 00:32:25.339
 and the train

00:32:25.339 --> 00:32:25.980
 of his garment

00:32:25.980 --> 00:32:26.579
 filling the

00:32:26.579 --> 00:32:26.859
 temple.

00:32:27.019 --> 00:32:27.619
 John says,

00:32:27.779 --> 00:32:28.559
 Isaiah saw

00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:29.319
 Christ.

00:32:31.679 --> 00:32:32.659
 And now Paul

00:32:32.659 --> 00:32:33.059
 is saying,

00:32:33.159 --> 00:32:33.240
 hey,

00:32:33.299 --> 00:32:33.740
 in Isaiah,

00:32:33.740 --> 00:32:35.700
 every knee

00:32:35.700 --> 00:32:36.099
 shall bow

00:32:36.099 --> 00:32:36.500
 to me,

00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:37.140
 every tongue

00:32:37.140 --> 00:32:37.720
 swear allegiance

00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:38.299
 to me.

00:32:38.799 --> 00:32:39.400
 Paul applies

00:32:39.400 --> 00:32:39.700
 that to

00:32:39.700 --> 00:32:40.120
 Christ.

00:32:42.420 --> 00:32:42.900
 Thus,

00:32:43.220 --> 00:32:43.779
 the one

00:32:43.779 --> 00:32:44.599
 who became

00:32:44.599 --> 00:32:45.259
 man

00:32:45.259 --> 00:32:46.640
 is still

00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:47.220
 worthy of

00:32:47.220 --> 00:32:47.519
 worship

00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:48.240
 that belongs

00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:48.700
 only to

00:32:48.700 --> 00:32:49.019
 God.

00:32:50.220 --> 00:32:50.819
 And you

00:32:50.819 --> 00:32:50.980
 know,

00:32:51.059 --> 00:32:51.359
 here's the

00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:51.599
 thing.

00:32:52.539 --> 00:32:53.099
 You're going

00:32:53.099 --> 00:32:53.359
 to meet

00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:53.779
 plenty of

00:32:53.779 --> 00:32:54.180
 people,

00:32:55.140 --> 00:32:55.420
 false

00:32:55.420 --> 00:32:55.819
 teachers,

00:32:56.120 --> 00:32:56.400
 mainly

00:32:56.400 --> 00:32:56.900
 deceived

00:32:56.900 --> 00:32:57.380
 people,

00:32:57.880 --> 00:32:58.180
 okay,

00:32:58.579 --> 00:32:58.900
 who have

00:32:58.900 --> 00:32:59.460
 been wrongly

00:32:59.460 --> 00:33:00.000
 taught by

00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:00.500
 cults their

00:33:00.500 --> 00:33:01.059
 whole life

00:33:01.059 --> 00:33:01.759
 on wrong

00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:02.339
 things about

00:33:02.339 --> 00:33:02.779
 Christ.

00:33:04.220 --> 00:33:04.759
 They're

00:33:04.759 --> 00:33:04.959
 going to

00:33:04.959 --> 00:33:05.559
 take you

00:33:05.559 --> 00:33:06.319
 to all

00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:06.679
 of the

00:33:06.679 --> 00:33:07.319
 texts

00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:09.039
 that clearly

00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:09.839
 are teaching

00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:10.299
 of his

00:33:10.299 --> 00:33:10.879
 humanity.

00:33:11.819 --> 00:33:12.559
 He was

00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:12.980
 tired.

00:33:13.199 --> 00:33:13.879
 He slept.

00:33:14.659 --> 00:33:15.139
 In some

00:33:15.139 --> 00:33:15.559
 cases,

00:33:16.059 --> 00:33:16.599
 he says he

00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:17.359
 didn't know

00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:18.240
 the day or

00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:18.659
 the hour.

00:33:19.439 --> 00:33:19.659
 Well,

00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:20.079
 that's his

00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:20.699
 humanity on

00:33:20.699 --> 00:33:21.119
 display,

00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:22.039
 because the

00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:22.919
 eternal son

00:33:22.919 --> 00:33:23.919
 who became

00:33:23.919 --> 00:33:24.459
 man,

00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:25.359
 okay,

00:33:25.579 --> 00:33:26.240
 is still

00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:26.859
 truly and

00:33:26.859 --> 00:33:27.299
 fully and

00:33:27.299 --> 00:33:27.939
 totally God.

00:33:28.199 --> 00:33:28.599
 But,

00:33:28.599 --> 00:33:30.379
 he has

00:33:30.379 --> 00:33:30.839
 a true

00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:32.279
 human brain

00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:33.259
 and mind

00:33:33.259 --> 00:33:34.559
 and emotions

00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:35.599
 and soul.

00:33:36.459 --> 00:33:37.339
 The eternal

00:33:37.339 --> 00:33:38.079
 person of

00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:38.399
 Christ,

00:33:38.519 --> 00:33:39.019
 during his

00:33:39.019 --> 00:33:39.619
 humiliation,

00:33:40.619 --> 00:33:41.399
 lived his

00:33:41.399 --> 00:33:42.819
 human life

00:33:42.819 --> 00:33:44.699
 by the power

00:33:44.699 --> 00:33:44.939
 of the

00:33:44.939 --> 00:33:45.199
 spirit.

00:33:46.179 --> 00:33:46.980
 The spirit

00:33:46.980 --> 00:33:47.539
 is pushing

00:33:47.539 --> 00:33:47.899
 him into

00:33:47.899 --> 00:33:48.359
 the wilderness.

00:33:49.059 --> 00:33:49.779
 The spirit

00:33:49.779 --> 00:33:50.279
 is telling

00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:51.399
 him what

00:33:51.399 --> 00:33:51.679
 he ought

00:33:51.679 --> 00:33:52.179
 to say,

00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:52.599
 what he

00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:52.919
 ought to

00:33:52.919 --> 00:33:53.240
 speak,

00:33:53.339 --> 00:33:53.599
 where he

00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:53.899
 ought to

00:33:53.899 --> 00:33:54.279
 go.

00:33:54.819 --> 00:33:55.019
 Hey,

00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:55.259
 we're

00:33:55.259 --> 00:33:55.439
 going to

00:33:55.439 --> 00:33:55.759
 have to

00:33:55.759 --> 00:33:56.139
 go through

00:33:56.139 --> 00:33:56.639
 Samaria.

00:33:56.640 --> 00:33:59.640
 I've

00:33:59.640 --> 00:33:59.940
 got an

00:33:59.940 --> 00:34:00.259
 eternal

00:34:00.259 --> 00:34:00.880
 divine

00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:02.200
 plan

00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:02.500
 there.

00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:03.320
 I've

00:34:03.320 --> 00:34:03.520
 got to

00:34:03.520 --> 00:34:03.680
 meet

00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:03.900
 someone

00:34:03.900 --> 00:34:04.200
 there.

00:34:07.600 --> 00:34:08.140
 He is

00:34:08.140 --> 00:34:08.760
 truly God

00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:09.180
 and truly

00:34:09.180 --> 00:34:09.519
 human.

00:34:11.140 --> 00:34:11.500
 They're

00:34:11.500 --> 00:34:11.720
 going to

00:34:11.720 --> 00:34:12.019
 try and

00:34:12.019 --> 00:34:12.340
 take you

00:34:12.340 --> 00:34:12.640
 to those

00:34:12.640 --> 00:34:13.000
 verses

00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:14.059
 and prove

00:34:14.059 --> 00:34:14.420
 to you,

00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:14.619
 see,

00:34:14.700 --> 00:34:14.980
 he's not

00:34:14.980 --> 00:34:15.180
 God.

00:34:15.220 --> 00:34:15.500
 He says

00:34:15.500 --> 00:34:15.760
 right here

00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:16.039
 he doesn't

00:34:16.039 --> 00:34:16.180
 know.

00:34:16.240 --> 00:34:16.500
 He can't

00:34:16.500 --> 00:34:16.780
 be God.

00:34:16.860 --> 00:34:17.039
 No,

00:34:17.180 --> 00:34:17.559
 he is

00:34:17.559 --> 00:34:18.099
 God

00:34:18.099 --> 00:34:19.019
 and he

00:34:19.019 --> 00:34:19.500
 is human.

00:34:21.579 --> 00:34:21.940
 And

00:34:21.940 --> 00:34:23.200
 he lived

00:34:23.200 --> 00:34:23.940
 inwardly

00:34:23.940 --> 00:34:24.880
 and outwardly

00:34:24.880 --> 00:34:25.760
 a perfect

00:34:25.760 --> 00:34:26.619
 righteous

00:34:26.619 --> 00:34:27.259
 and holy

00:34:27.259 --> 00:34:27.900
 life without

00:34:27.900 --> 00:34:28.359
 sin.

00:34:29.019 --> 00:34:29.319
 And we

00:34:29.319 --> 00:34:29.539
 got to

00:34:29.539 --> 00:34:29.799
 think about

00:34:29.799 --> 00:34:30.159
 this as

00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:30.279
 well.

00:34:30.359 --> 00:34:30.579
 He didn't

00:34:30.579 --> 00:34:31.139
 just fulfill

00:34:31.139 --> 00:34:31.579
 the whole

00:34:31.579 --> 00:34:32.920
 law according

00:34:32.920 --> 00:34:34.639
 to all

00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:34.940
 of the

00:34:34.940 --> 00:34:35.619
 commands given

00:34:35.619 --> 00:34:36.599
 to Israel

00:34:36.599 --> 00:34:37.239
 from Moses.

00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:38.279
 Of course

00:34:38.279 --> 00:34:38.679
 he did.

00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:41.079
 He lived

00:34:41.079 --> 00:34:42.460
 a holy

00:34:42.460 --> 00:34:43.000
 life without

00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:43.359
 sin,

00:34:43.539 --> 00:34:43.839
 fulfilling

00:34:43.839 --> 00:34:44.239
 the whole

00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:44.539
 law.

00:34:44.659 --> 00:34:45.139
 But at

00:34:45.139 --> 00:34:45.500
 the same

00:34:45.500 --> 00:34:45.940
 time,

00:34:46.199 --> 00:34:46.699
 this is

00:34:46.699 --> 00:34:47.699
 probably

00:34:47.699 --> 00:34:48.460
 even more

00:34:48.460 --> 00:34:48.920
 important,

00:34:49.500 --> 00:34:49.920
 every

00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:50.559
 thought,

00:34:51.739 --> 00:34:52.179
 every

00:34:52.179 --> 00:34:52.599
 inner

00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:53.219
 desire,

00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:54.579
 all of

00:34:54.579 --> 00:34:54.819
 his

00:34:54.819 --> 00:34:55.839
 affections,

00:34:55.840 --> 00:34:56.820
 were

00:34:56.820 --> 00:34:57.300
 holy

00:34:57.300 --> 00:34:57.740
 and

00:34:57.740 --> 00:34:58.340
 blameless.

00:34:59.340 --> 00:35:00.000
 He

00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:00.480
 absorbed

00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:00.700
 the

00:35:00.700 --> 00:35:00.960
 wrath

00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:01.340
 due to

00:35:01.340 --> 00:35:01.579
 all

00:35:01.579 --> 00:35:01.900
 those

00:35:01.900 --> 00:35:02.039
 who

00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:02.160
 would

00:35:02.160 --> 00:35:02.460
 believe

00:35:02.460 --> 00:35:02.600
 on

00:35:02.600 --> 00:35:02.740
 the

00:35:02.740 --> 00:35:03.180
 cross.

00:35:04.640 --> 00:35:05.320
 He

00:35:05.320 --> 00:35:06.300
 validated

00:35:06.300 --> 00:35:06.680
 his

00:35:06.680 --> 00:35:07.380
 lordship

00:35:07.380 --> 00:35:08.579
 by being

00:35:08.579 --> 00:35:09.180
 raised

00:35:09.180 --> 00:35:10.019
 and he

00:35:10.019 --> 00:35:10.340
 is the

00:35:10.340 --> 00:35:11.100
 firstborn

00:35:11.099 --> 00:35:11.519
 of the

00:35:11.519 --> 00:35:11.679
 new

00:35:11.679 --> 00:35:12.179
 creation.

00:35:13.339 --> 00:35:14.019
 He

00:35:14.019 --> 00:35:14.299
 is the

00:35:14.299 --> 00:35:14.659
 first

00:35:14.659 --> 00:35:15.219
 new

00:35:15.219 --> 00:35:15.699
 created

00:35:15.699 --> 00:35:16.139
 man.

00:35:16.259 --> 00:35:16.339
 He

00:35:16.339 --> 00:35:16.659
 is the

00:35:16.659 --> 00:35:16.839
 new

00:35:16.839 --> 00:35:17.159
 Adam

00:35:17.159 --> 00:35:18.299
 of the

00:35:18.299 --> 00:35:18.460
 new

00:35:18.460 --> 00:35:18.880
 creation.

00:35:19.179 --> 00:35:19.719
 And now

00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:20.559
 the

00:35:20.559 --> 00:35:21.239
 crowned

00:35:21.239 --> 00:35:21.759
 exalted

00:35:21.759 --> 00:35:22.179
 God

00:35:22.179 --> 00:35:22.559
 man

00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:23.420
 inherits

00:35:23.420 --> 00:35:23.639
 the

00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:24.000
 entire

00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:24.559
 creation

00:35:24.559 --> 00:35:25.579
 with

00:35:25.579 --> 00:35:25.960
 all

00:35:25.960 --> 00:35:26.279
 of the

00:35:26.279 --> 00:35:26.699
 worship,

00:35:27.179 --> 00:35:27.480
 all

00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:27.799
 of the

00:35:27.799 --> 00:35:28.199
 glory

00:35:28.199 --> 00:35:28.480
 and

00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:28.819
 honor

00:35:28.819 --> 00:35:29.059
 that

00:35:29.059 --> 00:35:29.400
 comes

00:35:29.400 --> 00:35:29.679
 with

00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:29.920
 it

00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:30.880
 that

00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:31.039
 he

00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:31.219
 is

00:35:31.219 --> 00:35:31.480
 worthy

00:35:31.480 --> 00:35:31.839
 of.

00:35:32.679 --> 00:35:33.279
 So

00:35:33.279 --> 00:35:33.719
 Paul's

00:35:33.719 --> 00:35:34.000
 argument

00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:34.420
 looks like

00:35:34.420 --> 00:35:34.779
 this.

00:35:34.780 --> 00:35:52.500
 So

00:35:52.500 --> 00:35:53.300
 Philippians 2

00:35:53.300 --> 00:35:53.760
 teaches

00:35:53.760 --> 00:35:54.540
 not that

00:35:54.540 --> 00:35:54.800
 Jesus

00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:55.180
 stopped

00:35:55.180 --> 00:35:55.420
 being

00:35:55.420 --> 00:35:55.660
 God

00:35:55.660 --> 00:35:56.060
 at all.

00:35:56.420 --> 00:35:56.640
 It does

00:35:56.640 --> 00:35:56.800
 not

00:35:56.800 --> 00:35:57.040
 teach

00:35:57.040 --> 00:35:57.300
 that.

00:35:59.180 --> 00:35:59.900
 But

00:35:59.900 --> 00:36:00.240
 it

00:36:00.240 --> 00:36:00.620
 teaches

00:36:00.620 --> 00:36:01.100
 that

00:36:01.100 --> 00:36:01.460
 the

00:36:01.460 --> 00:36:02.160
 eternal

00:36:02.160 --> 00:36:02.660
 divine

00:36:02.660 --> 00:36:03.100
 son

00:36:03.100 --> 00:36:03.740
 added

00:36:03.740 --> 00:36:04.360
 human

00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:04.800
 nature

00:36:04.800 --> 00:36:05.539
 and

00:36:05.539 --> 00:36:05.920
 entered

00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:06.120
 a

00:36:06.120 --> 00:36:06.300
 state

00:36:06.300 --> 00:36:06.440
 of

00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:07.059
 humiliation

00:36:07.059 --> 00:36:08.059
 while

00:36:08.059 --> 00:36:08.800
 remaining

00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:09.920
 fully

00:36:09.920 --> 00:36:10.620
 divine

00:36:10.620 --> 00:36:11.240
 truly

00:36:11.240 --> 00:36:11.940
 God.

00:36:12.960 --> 00:36:13.800
 So

00:36:13.800 --> 00:36:14.840
 this is

00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:15.260
 why many

00:36:15.260 --> 00:36:15.940
 theologians

00:36:15.940 --> 00:36:16.240
 see

00:36:16.240 --> 00:36:17.160
 Philippians 2

00:36:17.160 --> 00:36:18.000
 as this

00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:18.400
 summary.

00:36:19.099 --> 00:36:19.280
 Okay?

00:36:20.140 --> 00:36:21.099
 Pre-existent

00:36:21.099 --> 00:36:21.860
 uncreated

00:36:21.860 --> 00:36:22.340
 eternal

00:36:22.340 --> 00:36:22.780
 deity

00:36:22.780 --> 00:36:25.579
 incarnation

00:36:25.579 --> 00:36:27.120
 taking

00:36:27.120 --> 00:36:27.559
 on human

00:36:27.559 --> 00:36:28.059
 flesh

00:36:28.059 --> 00:36:29.360
 humiliation

00:36:29.360 --> 00:36:32.019
 suffering

00:36:32.019 --> 00:36:32.920
 obedience

00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:33.880
 having to

00:36:33.880 --> 00:36:34.180
 deal

00:36:34.180 --> 00:36:34.180


00:36:34.180 --> 00:36:34.420
 with

00:36:34.420 --> 00:36:34.740
 living

00:36:34.740 --> 00:36:35.039
 in a

00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:35.240
 sin

00:36:35.240 --> 00:36:35.559
 cursed

00:36:35.559 --> 00:36:35.960
 world

00:36:35.960 --> 00:36:36.240
 yet

00:36:36.240 --> 00:36:36.519
 being

00:36:36.519 --> 00:36:37.019
 perfectly

00:36:37.019 --> 00:36:37.400
 holy

00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:37.579
 and

00:36:37.579 --> 00:36:37.900
 obedient

00:36:37.900 --> 00:36:38.119
 the

00:36:38.119 --> 00:36:38.380
 entire

00:36:38.380 --> 00:36:38.840
 time.

00:36:40.360 --> 00:36:40.960
 Being

00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:41.500
 crucified

00:36:41.500 --> 00:36:43.019
 which is

00:36:43.019 --> 00:36:44.180
 not just

00:36:44.180 --> 00:36:44.380
 being

00:36:44.380 --> 00:36:44.820
 crucified

00:36:44.820 --> 00:36:45.960
 he

00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:46.740
 absorbed

00:36:46.740 --> 00:36:47.960
 God's

00:36:47.960 --> 00:36:48.440
 eternal

00:36:48.440 --> 00:36:49.059
 wrath

00:36:49.059 --> 00:36:50.599
 in our

00:36:50.599 --> 00:36:51.160
 place

00:36:51.160 --> 00:36:52.860
 and

00:36:52.860 --> 00:36:53.740
 exaltation

00:36:53.740 --> 00:36:55.519
 after his

00:36:55.519 --> 00:36:56.019
 resurrection.

00:36:57.260 --> 00:36:57.619
 This

00:36:57.619 --> 00:36:58.300
 man

00:36:58.300 --> 00:36:59.380
 who is

00:36:59.380 --> 00:36:59.680
 also

00:36:59.680 --> 00:37:00.240
 God

00:37:00.240 --> 00:37:01.559
 is being

00:37:01.559 --> 00:37:01.940
 rewarded

00:37:01.940 --> 00:37:02.340
 for his

00:37:02.340 --> 00:37:02.639
 perfect

00:37:02.639 --> 00:37:03.119
 obedience

00:37:03.119 --> 00:37:03.579
 and his

00:37:03.579 --> 00:37:04.300
 exaltation.

00:37:06.220 --> 00:37:07.119
 This is so

00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:07.519
 vitally

00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:08.159
 important for

00:37:08.159 --> 00:37:08.920
 us to

00:37:08.920 --> 00:37:09.320
 remember

00:37:09.320 --> 00:37:10.820
 and to

00:37:10.820 --> 00:37:11.200
 meditate

00:37:11.200 --> 00:37:11.740
 on.

00:37:13.420 --> 00:37:13.980
 Meditate

00:37:13.980 --> 00:37:14.260
 on.

00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:14.900
 People think

00:37:14.900 --> 00:37:15.920
 meditate means

00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:16.599
 go sit in

00:37:16.599 --> 00:37:16.940
 your room

00:37:16.940 --> 00:37:17.659
 and be

00:37:17.659 --> 00:37:17.980
 quiet,

00:37:18.079 --> 00:37:18.340
 turn out

00:37:18.340 --> 00:37:18.659
 the lights.

00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:19.760
 Meditation

00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:20.480
 really is

00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:20.940
 thinking.

00:37:21.679 --> 00:37:22.179
 When you're

00:37:22.179 --> 00:37:22.700
 driving in

00:37:22.700 --> 00:37:23.059
 your car,

00:37:23.179 --> 00:37:23.539
 what are you

00:37:23.539 --> 00:37:24.139
 thinking about?

00:37:24.440 --> 00:37:25.119
 When you're

00:37:25.119 --> 00:37:25.920
 going on a

00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:26.159
 walk,

00:37:26.240 --> 00:37:26.619
 what are you

00:37:26.619 --> 00:37:27.139
 thinking about?

00:37:27.200 --> 00:37:27.480
 When you're

00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:27.980
 laying in bed

00:37:27.980 --> 00:37:28.240
 at night,

00:37:28.300 --> 00:37:28.679
 what are you

00:37:28.679 --> 00:37:29.300
 thinking about?

00:37:29.300 --> 00:37:31.680
 you think

00:37:31.680 --> 00:37:32.120
 of these

00:37:32.120 --> 00:37:32.480
 things,

00:37:32.580 --> 00:37:32.980
 you put

00:37:32.980 --> 00:37:33.400
 your mind

00:37:33.400 --> 00:37:33.840
 on these

00:37:33.840 --> 00:37:34.220
 things,

00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:34.800
 you meditate

00:37:34.800 --> 00:37:35.480
 and think

00:37:35.480 --> 00:37:36.000
 on these

00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:36.320
 things

00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:36.840
 regularly,

00:37:37.960 --> 00:37:39.039
 your inner

00:37:39.039 --> 00:37:39.440
 man is

00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:39.600
 going to

00:37:39.600 --> 00:37:39.740
 be

00:37:39.740 --> 00:37:40.320
 transformed.

00:37:41.700 --> 00:37:42.240
 You're

00:37:42.240 --> 00:37:42.400
 going to

00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:43.260
 be provoked

00:37:43.260 --> 00:37:44.380
 when you

00:37:44.380 --> 00:37:45.100
 hear Christ

00:37:45.100 --> 00:37:46.000
 dishonored.

00:37:47.240 --> 00:37:47.800
 You're

00:37:47.800 --> 00:37:48.480
 going to

00:37:48.480 --> 00:37:49.500
 desire more

00:37:49.500 --> 00:37:50.360
 to boldly

00:37:50.360 --> 00:37:51.380
 evangelize the

00:37:51.380 --> 00:37:51.920
 people whom

00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:52.460
 you're so

00:37:52.460 --> 00:37:53.440
 normally afraid

00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:54.060
 of speaking

00:37:54.060 --> 00:37:54.660
 truth to.

00:37:54.659 --> 00:37:59.599
 We've

00:37:59.599 --> 00:37:59.819
 got to

00:37:59.819 --> 00:38:00.399
 meditate on

00:38:00.399 --> 00:38:00.599
 this,

00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:00.960
 think of

00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:01.179
 it as

00:38:01.179 --> 00:38:01.579
 often as

00:38:01.579 --> 00:38:02.059
 we can

00:38:02.059 --> 00:38:02.699
 because for

00:38:02.699 --> 00:38:03.099
 too many

00:38:03.099 --> 00:38:03.500
 people,

00:38:03.639 --> 00:38:03.980
 really,

00:38:04.500 --> 00:38:04.980
 the gospel

00:38:04.980 --> 00:38:05.319
 is just

00:38:05.319 --> 00:38:05.779
 this word

00:38:05.779 --> 00:38:06.139
 that gets

00:38:06.139 --> 00:38:07.399
 thrown around

00:38:07.399 --> 00:38:07.859
 and just

00:38:07.859 --> 00:38:08.359
 becomes

00:38:08.359 --> 00:38:08.719
 meaningless

00:38:08.719 --> 00:38:09.219
 to them.

00:38:09.739 --> 00:38:10.179
 We're

00:38:10.179 --> 00:38:10.699
 talking about

00:38:10.699 --> 00:38:11.299
 God becoming

00:38:11.299 --> 00:38:12.039
 man and

00:38:12.039 --> 00:38:12.839
 absorbing

00:38:12.839 --> 00:38:13.940
 your sin,

00:38:15.279 --> 00:38:16.199
 your

00:38:16.199 --> 00:38:17.019
 immorality,

00:38:17.940 --> 00:38:18.199
 your

00:38:18.199 --> 00:38:19.079
 blasphemy,

00:38:19.899 --> 00:38:21.619
 your lying,

00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:23.599
 your dishonoring

00:38:23.599 --> 00:38:23.899
 him,

00:38:23.900 --> 00:38:24.860
 your sinfulness.

00:38:25.820 --> 00:38:26.480
 The eternal

00:38:26.480 --> 00:38:27.119
 blameless

00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:27.740
 son was

00:38:27.740 --> 00:38:28.380
 treated on

00:38:28.380 --> 00:38:28.900
 the cross

00:38:28.900 --> 00:38:29.559
 by God

00:38:29.559 --> 00:38:30.079
 as if he

00:38:30.079 --> 00:38:31.059
 lived your

00:38:31.059 --> 00:38:31.720
 life.

00:38:34.920 --> 00:38:35.680
 That is

00:38:35.680 --> 00:38:35.980
 why there

00:38:35.980 --> 00:38:36.220
 is no

00:38:36.220 --> 00:38:36.579
 room for

00:38:36.579 --> 00:38:36.920
 boasting.

00:38:41.000 --> 00:38:41.980
 For our

00:38:41.980 --> 00:38:42.380
 sake,

00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:43.599
 2 Corinthians

00:38:43.599 --> 00:38:43.940
 5,

00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:44.360
 21,

00:38:45.180 --> 00:38:45.820
 he made

00:38:45.820 --> 00:38:46.680
 him to

00:38:46.680 --> 00:38:47.400
 be sin,

00:38:48.039 --> 00:38:48.740
 who knew

00:38:48.740 --> 00:38:49.460
 no sin,

00:38:50.460 --> 00:38:50.960
 so that

00:38:50.960 --> 00:38:51.619
 in him we

00:38:51.619 --> 00:38:52.200
 might become

00:38:52.200 --> 00:38:52.760
 the righteousness

00:38:52.760 --> 00:38:53.400
 of God.

00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:54.000
 You know

00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:54.480
 why Jesus

00:38:54.480 --> 00:38:55.400
 was bleeding

00:38:55.400 --> 00:38:56.680
 sweat drops

00:38:56.680 --> 00:38:57.119
 of blood

00:38:57.119 --> 00:38:57.400
 in the

00:38:57.400 --> 00:38:57.680
 garden?

00:38:58.000 --> 00:38:58.780
 Because an

00:38:58.780 --> 00:38:59.780
 eternal divine

00:38:59.780 --> 00:39:00.760
 holy person

00:39:00.760 --> 00:39:02.380
 is contemplating

00:39:02.380 --> 00:39:03.980
 becoming sin

00:39:03.980 --> 00:39:04.700
 for us.

00:39:06.780 --> 00:39:07.780
 We can't

00:39:07.780 --> 00:39:08.519
 imagine that.

00:39:11.519 --> 00:39:12.360
 Through his

00:39:12.360 --> 00:39:12.900
 human nature,

00:39:13.059 --> 00:39:14.360
 that right,

00:39:14.599 --> 00:39:15.139
 holy,

00:39:17.139 --> 00:39:18.119
 non-sinful,

00:39:18.680 --> 00:39:18.960
 anxious

00:39:18.960 --> 00:39:21.019
 thoughts is

00:39:21.019 --> 00:39:21.519
 made evident

00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:22.219
 through his

00:39:22.219 --> 00:39:23.440
 human faculties.

00:39:26.139 --> 00:39:26.719
 He is

00:39:26.719 --> 00:39:27.079
 truly,

00:39:28.519 --> 00:39:29.099
 sorry,

00:39:29.159 --> 00:39:29.460
 let me say

00:39:29.460 --> 00:39:29.880
 it this way,

00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:31.019
 only because

00:39:31.019 --> 00:39:31.360
 this is

00:39:31.360 --> 00:39:31.800
 important,

00:39:32.059 --> 00:39:32.280
 okay,

00:39:32.500 --> 00:39:33.019
 because if you

00:39:33.019 --> 00:39:33.219
 look,

00:39:33.280 --> 00:39:33.579
 you cannot

00:39:33.579 --> 00:39:34.000
 have the

00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:34.340
 attitude,

00:39:34.500 --> 00:39:34.739
 well,

00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:35.980
 does this

00:39:35.980 --> 00:39:36.280
 matter?

00:39:37.500 --> 00:39:37.820
 Like,

00:39:37.860 --> 00:39:38.039
 yeah,

00:39:38.119 --> 00:39:38.280
 I mean,

00:39:38.300 --> 00:39:38.780
 my friend

00:39:38.780 --> 00:39:39.480
 denies the

00:39:39.480 --> 00:39:39.860
 deity of

00:39:39.860 --> 00:39:40.300
 Christ,

00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:40.699
 and you

00:39:40.699 --> 00:39:40.759
 know,

00:39:40.800 --> 00:39:41.059
 he believes

00:39:41.059 --> 00:39:41.500
 Jesus is a

00:39:41.500 --> 00:39:41.940
 good teacher,

00:39:42.039 --> 00:39:42.179
 right?

00:39:42.219 --> 00:39:42.500
 Isn't that

00:39:42.500 --> 00:39:42.820
 good enough?

00:39:42.860 --> 00:39:43.219
 He believes

00:39:43.219 --> 00:39:43.599
 in Jesus.

00:39:44.119 --> 00:39:44.599
 Does that

00:39:44.599 --> 00:39:44.900
 matter?

00:39:44.900 --> 00:39:45.880
 Absolutely

00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:46.559
 it matters.

00:39:47.480 --> 00:39:48.139
 Does sound

00:39:48.139 --> 00:39:48.840
 doctrine matter?

00:39:49.320 --> 00:39:49.780
 Yes.

00:39:52.500 --> 00:39:52.960
 Listen,

00:39:53.119 --> 00:39:53.840
 only because

00:39:53.840 --> 00:39:54.500
 Jesus is

00:39:54.500 --> 00:39:55.180
 truly God

00:39:55.180 --> 00:39:55.519
 could he

00:39:55.519 --> 00:39:56.119
 provide an

00:39:56.119 --> 00:39:56.440
 infinite

00:39:56.440 --> 00:39:57.019
 atonement.

00:39:58.320 --> 00:39:59.420
 Only because

00:39:59.420 --> 00:40:00.099
 he is truly

00:40:00.099 --> 00:40:01.680
 man could

00:40:01.680 --> 00:40:02.220
 he die

00:40:02.220 --> 00:40:02.599
 in our

00:40:02.599 --> 00:40:03.579
 place as

00:40:03.579 --> 00:40:03.900
 our

00:40:03.900 --> 00:40:05.039
 representative.

00:40:07.200 --> 00:40:07.700
 Reject

00:40:07.700 --> 00:40:08.360
 either,

00:40:08.940 --> 00:40:09.380
 and the

00:40:09.380 --> 00:40:10.099
 gospel is

00:40:10.099 --> 00:40:11.579
 emptied of

00:40:11.579 --> 00:40:12.079
 its saving

00:40:12.079 --> 00:40:12.519
 power.

00:40:12.519 --> 00:40:15.599
 that is

00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:15.980
 why

00:40:15.980 --> 00:40:17.659
 whenever I

00:40:17.659 --> 00:40:18.340
 meet someone

00:40:18.340 --> 00:40:18.840
 who

00:40:18.840 --> 00:40:20.960
 says they're

00:40:20.960 --> 00:40:21.380
 a Christian,

00:40:21.539 --> 00:40:21.800
 and look,

00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:22.259
 it's not from

00:40:22.259 --> 00:40:23.559
 a place of

00:40:23.559 --> 00:40:24.380
 self-righteousness,

00:40:24.519 --> 00:40:24.880
 it's not,

00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:25.420
 I'm not trying

00:40:25.420 --> 00:40:25.780
 to be

00:40:25.780 --> 00:40:26.300
 suspicious,

00:40:26.920 --> 00:40:27.099
 look,

00:40:27.139 --> 00:40:27.579
 I just know

00:40:27.579 --> 00:40:27.880
 what's out

00:40:27.880 --> 00:40:28.119
 there.

00:40:29.079 --> 00:40:29.400
 I know

00:40:29.400 --> 00:40:30.019
 deceived people

00:40:30.019 --> 00:40:30.440
 are everywhere.

00:40:31.579 --> 00:40:32.300
 That is why

00:40:32.300 --> 00:40:32.800
 it is normally

00:40:32.800 --> 00:40:33.440
 my custom

00:40:33.440 --> 00:40:33.980
 when someone

00:40:33.980 --> 00:40:34.199
 says,

00:40:34.280 --> 00:40:34.360
 yeah,

00:40:34.380 --> 00:40:34.599
 I'm a

00:40:34.599 --> 00:40:34.840
 Christian,

00:40:34.960 --> 00:40:35.119
 oh,

00:40:35.199 --> 00:40:35.719
 let me

00:40:35.719 --> 00:40:36.139
 just ask

00:40:36.139 --> 00:40:36.340
 a few

00:40:36.340 --> 00:40:36.820
 questions.

00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:37.659
 What is

00:40:37.659 --> 00:40:38.119
 the gospel?

00:40:40.300 --> 00:40:40.699
 What?

00:40:41.320 --> 00:40:41.780
 What do

00:40:41.780 --> 00:40:42.079
 you mean?

00:40:42.519 --> 00:40:43.179
 I met

00:40:43.179 --> 00:40:43.659
 this girl

00:40:43.659 --> 00:40:44.139
 who told

00:40:44.139 --> 00:40:44.539
 me she,

00:40:45.639 --> 00:40:45.980
 at a

00:40:45.980 --> 00:40:46.579
 coffee shop,

00:40:46.639 --> 00:40:46.980
 she just

00:40:46.980 --> 00:40:47.440
 became a

00:40:47.440 --> 00:40:48.059
 Roman Catholic

00:40:48.059 --> 00:40:49.420
 on Easter,

00:40:50.139 --> 00:40:51.000
 and I was

00:40:51.000 --> 00:40:51.119
 like,

00:40:51.199 --> 00:40:51.400
 oh,

00:40:51.500 --> 00:40:51.800
 okay,

00:40:52.920 --> 00:40:53.340
 why are you

00:40:53.340 --> 00:40:53.619
 going to

00:40:53.619 --> 00:40:53.800
 heaven?

00:40:55.159 --> 00:40:55.780
 She had no

00:40:55.780 --> 00:40:56.179
 idea what I

00:40:56.179 --> 00:40:56.179


00:40:56.259 --> 00:40:56.519
 she didn't

00:40:56.519 --> 00:40:56.659
 know how

00:40:56.659 --> 00:40:56.920
 to answer

00:40:56.920 --> 00:40:57.219
 that.

00:40:58.579 --> 00:40:59.099
 How is

00:40:59.099 --> 00:40:59.599
 that possible?

00:41:05.059 --> 00:41:05.599
 Then I

00:41:05.599 --> 00:41:05.940
 took her

00:41:05.940 --> 00:41:06.719
 to her

00:41:06.719 --> 00:41:07.199
 supposed

00:41:07.199 --> 00:41:07.800
 pope's

00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:08.159
 preaching

00:41:08.159 --> 00:41:08.800
 in Acts

00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:09.099
 2.

00:41:09.800 --> 00:41:10.199
 What must

00:41:10.199 --> 00:41:10.460
 we do

00:41:10.460 --> 00:41:10.699
 to be

00:41:10.699 --> 00:41:11.039
 saved,

00:41:11.159 --> 00:41:11.300
 Peter?

00:41:12.519 --> 00:41:12.840
 Repent

00:41:12.840 --> 00:41:13.360
 and believe

00:41:13.360 --> 00:41:15.039
 and be

00:41:15.039 --> 00:41:15.360
 baptized

00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:15.860
 for your

00:41:15.860 --> 00:41:16.099
 sins.

00:41:16.159 --> 00:41:16.340
 You will

00:41:16.340 --> 00:41:16.860
 be saved.

00:41:19.059 --> 00:41:19.719
 If the

00:41:19.719 --> 00:41:20.099
 eternal

00:41:20.099 --> 00:41:20.619
 son

00:41:20.619 --> 00:41:21.159
 willingly

00:41:21.159 --> 00:41:21.599
 humbled

00:41:21.599 --> 00:41:22.039
 himself,

00:41:22.139 --> 00:41:22.420
 okay,

00:41:22.639 --> 00:41:23.940
 to endure

00:41:23.940 --> 00:41:24.360
 human

00:41:24.360 --> 00:41:25.019
 weakness

00:41:25.019 --> 00:41:26.719
 and rejection

00:41:26.719 --> 00:41:28.239
 and suffering

00:41:28.239 --> 00:41:29.599
 for our

00:41:29.599 --> 00:41:30.199
 sake,

00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:31.480
 how much

00:41:31.480 --> 00:41:32.099
 more should

00:41:32.099 --> 00:41:32.639
 we?

00:41:34.559 --> 00:41:35.159
 His

00:41:35.159 --> 00:41:35.719
 slaves,

00:41:35.820 --> 00:41:36.039
 his

00:41:36.039 --> 00:41:36.619
 servants,

00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:37.619
 those who

00:41:37.619 --> 00:41:38.119
 claim his

00:41:38.119 --> 00:41:38.539
 name,

00:41:38.679 --> 00:41:39.079
 who claim

00:41:39.079 --> 00:41:39.340
 to be

00:41:39.340 --> 00:41:39.880
 devoted to

00:41:39.880 --> 00:41:40.099
 him,

00:41:40.099 --> 00:41:40.699
 who claim

00:41:40.699 --> 00:41:41.119
 to love

00:41:41.119 --> 00:41:41.400
 him,

00:41:42.079 --> 00:41:42.360
 who

00:41:42.360 --> 00:41:43.119
 apparently

00:41:43.119 --> 00:41:43.880
 have

00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:44.219
 counted

00:41:44.219 --> 00:41:44.759
 the cost

00:41:44.759 --> 00:41:44.900
 of

00:41:44.900 --> 00:41:45.639
 discipleship,

00:41:45.739 --> 00:41:46.159
 which

00:41:46.159 --> 00:41:46.839
 one of

00:41:46.839 --> 00:41:47.059
 those

00:41:47.059 --> 00:41:47.500
 costs,

00:41:47.539 --> 00:41:47.900
 he says

00:41:47.900 --> 00:41:48.199
 in Luke

00:41:48.199 --> 00:41:48.699
 14,

00:41:49.500 --> 00:41:49.819
 you must

00:41:49.819 --> 00:41:50.259
 be willing

00:41:50.259 --> 00:41:51.619
 to bear

00:41:51.619 --> 00:41:52.000
 your own

00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:52.559
 cross.

00:41:53.839 --> 00:41:54.319
 Look,

00:41:54.400 --> 00:41:54.739
 that's not

00:41:54.739 --> 00:41:55.380
 talking about

00:41:55.380 --> 00:41:55.980
 your boss

00:41:55.980 --> 00:41:56.339
 being mean

00:41:56.339 --> 00:41:56.659
 to you.

00:41:57.079 --> 00:41:57.679
 That's not

00:41:57.679 --> 00:41:58.279
 your cross.

00:41:58.719 --> 00:41:59.339
 He's literally

00:41:59.339 --> 00:42:00.079
 saying in the

00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:00.960
 immediate context,

00:42:01.059 --> 00:42:01.480
 you must be

00:42:01.480 --> 00:42:01.980
 willing to

00:42:01.980 --> 00:42:02.679
 suffer Roman

00:42:02.679 --> 00:42:03.599
 crucifixion if

00:42:03.599 --> 00:42:03.779
 you're going

00:42:03.779 --> 00:42:04.139
 to follow

00:42:04.139 --> 00:42:04.360
 me.

00:42:05.079 --> 00:42:05.719
 He's not

00:42:05.719 --> 00:42:06.179
 trying to

00:42:06.179 --> 00:42:06.799
 prevent people

00:42:06.800 --> 00:42:07.360
 from following

00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:07.680
 him.

00:42:08.720 --> 00:42:09.620
 He's trying

00:42:09.620 --> 00:42:10.280
 to prevent

00:42:10.280 --> 00:42:11.060
 false

00:42:11.060 --> 00:42:11.680
 converts.

00:42:12.600 --> 00:42:12.960
 We must

00:42:12.960 --> 00:42:13.240
 do the

00:42:13.240 --> 00:42:13.460
 same.

00:42:14.340 --> 00:42:14.880
 We don't

00:42:14.880 --> 00:42:15.240
 try and

00:42:15.240 --> 00:42:15.800
 draw people

00:42:15.800 --> 00:42:16.140
 into the

00:42:16.140 --> 00:42:16.680
 church with

00:42:16.680 --> 00:42:17.140
 earthly

00:42:17.140 --> 00:42:18.060
 pleasures.

00:42:19.180 --> 00:42:20.000
 We don't

00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:20.440
 tell them,

00:42:20.560 --> 00:42:20.780
 hey,

00:42:21.460 --> 00:42:22.060
 there's no

00:42:22.060 --> 00:42:22.640
 suffering after

00:42:22.640 --> 00:42:23.000
 you follow

00:42:23.000 --> 00:42:23.460
 Christ.

00:42:24.480 --> 00:42:24.840
 No,

00:42:25.039 --> 00:42:25.640
 Jesus literally

00:42:25.640 --> 00:42:26.280
 says the

00:42:26.280 --> 00:42:27.100
 world hates

00:42:27.100 --> 00:42:27.800
 you because

00:42:27.800 --> 00:42:28.380
 it first

00:42:28.380 --> 00:42:29.260
 hated me.

00:42:30.660 --> 00:42:31.680
 Paul says

00:42:31.680 --> 00:42:32.640
 I bear in

00:42:32.640 --> 00:42:33.360
 my body

00:42:33.360 --> 00:42:35.019
 the marks

00:42:35.019 --> 00:42:35.680
 of Christ.

00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:37.880
 The world

00:42:37.880 --> 00:42:38.420
 doesn't hate

00:42:38.420 --> 00:42:39.240
 you personally.

00:42:40.920 --> 00:42:41.880
 They hate

00:42:41.880 --> 00:42:42.600
 Christ in

00:42:42.600 --> 00:42:42.880
 you.

00:42:43.700 --> 00:42:44.600
 We speak

00:42:44.600 --> 00:42:45.160
 his words.

00:42:45.260 --> 00:42:45.640
 We love

00:42:45.640 --> 00:42:46.140
 like him.

00:42:46.220 --> 00:42:46.740
 We represent

00:42:46.740 --> 00:42:47.120
 him.

00:42:47.180 --> 00:42:47.600
 They hate

00:42:47.600 --> 00:42:47.900
 him.

00:42:48.500 --> 00:42:49.280
 And it

00:42:49.280 --> 00:42:50.200
 is our

00:42:50.200 --> 00:42:52.720
 job to

00:42:52.720 --> 00:42:53.060
 bring the

00:42:53.060 --> 00:42:53.539
 message to

00:42:53.539 --> 00:42:54.080
 them regardless

00:42:54.080 --> 00:42:54.539
 of what it

00:42:54.539 --> 00:42:55.060
 costs.

00:42:56.960 --> 00:42:57.700
 If the

00:42:57.700 --> 00:42:58.019
 son of

00:42:58.019 --> 00:42:58.200
 God

00:42:58.200 --> 00:42:58.600
 willingly

00:42:58.600 --> 00:42:58.960
 humbled

00:42:58.960 --> 00:42:59.440
 himself

00:42:59.440 --> 00:42:59.800
 unto

00:42:59.800 --> 00:43:00.240
 death,

00:43:01.120 --> 00:43:01.940
 how much

00:43:01.940 --> 00:43:02.440
 more should

00:43:02.440 --> 00:43:03.460
 we be

00:43:03.460 --> 00:43:03.960
 willing to

00:43:03.960 --> 00:43:04.680
 bear hardship

00:43:04.680 --> 00:43:05.980
 in faithful

00:43:05.980 --> 00:43:06.780
 obedience?

00:43:06.800 --> 00:43:07.060
 obedience.

00:43:08.500 --> 00:43:09.300
 When the

00:43:09.300 --> 00:43:09.700
 Lord of

00:43:09.700 --> 00:43:10.200
 glory

00:43:10.200 --> 00:43:10.840
 willingly

00:43:10.840 --> 00:43:11.519
 stooped

00:43:11.519 --> 00:43:11.940
 to human

00:43:11.940 --> 00:43:12.420
 frailty

00:43:12.420 --> 00:43:12.780
 on the

00:43:12.780 --> 00:43:13.260
 cross,

00:43:14.039 --> 00:43:14.340
 sorry,

00:43:14.519 --> 00:43:15.039
 human frailty

00:43:15.039 --> 00:43:15.860
 and was

00:43:15.860 --> 00:43:16.300
 willing to

00:43:16.300 --> 00:43:16.680
 suffer on

00:43:16.680 --> 00:43:17.100
 the cross,

00:43:17.260 --> 00:43:18.320
 he established

00:43:18.320 --> 00:43:19.260
 the pattern

00:43:19.260 --> 00:43:20.580
 for his

00:43:20.580 --> 00:43:20.980
 people,

00:43:21.519 --> 00:43:22.800
 for us.

00:43:24.320 --> 00:43:25.100
 We are

00:43:25.100 --> 00:43:25.539
 not above

00:43:25.539 --> 00:43:26.160
 our master

00:43:26.160 --> 00:43:27.800
 but called

00:43:27.800 --> 00:43:29.160
 to follow

00:43:29.160 --> 00:43:29.820
 him in

00:43:29.820 --> 00:43:30.100
 humble

00:43:30.100 --> 00:43:30.580
 obedience

00:43:30.580 --> 00:43:30.840
 through

00:43:30.840 --> 00:43:31.220
 suffering.

00:43:31.960 --> 00:43:32.720
 What does

00:43:32.720 --> 00:43:33.100
 he say?

00:43:33.099 --> 00:43:34.159
 look,

00:43:35.179 --> 00:43:36.099
 a slave

00:43:36.099 --> 00:43:37.000
 is not

00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:37.440
 greater than

00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:37.579
 their

00:43:37.579 --> 00:43:37.920
 master.

00:43:38.819 --> 00:43:39.539
 If this

00:43:39.539 --> 00:43:39.779
 is how

00:43:39.779 --> 00:43:40.199
 the world

00:43:40.199 --> 00:43:40.579
 treated

00:43:40.579 --> 00:43:41.000
 me,

00:43:41.380 --> 00:43:41.819
 who had

00:43:41.819 --> 00:43:42.440
 no sin,

00:43:42.819 --> 00:43:43.480
 who loved

00:43:43.480 --> 00:43:44.019
 perfectly,

00:43:44.400 --> 00:43:44.880
 who treated

00:43:44.880 --> 00:43:45.319
 everyone

00:43:45.319 --> 00:43:45.880
 perfectly,

00:43:46.440 --> 00:43:47.519
 who obeyed

00:43:47.519 --> 00:43:47.860
 the father

00:43:47.860 --> 00:43:48.400
 perfectly,

00:43:48.860 --> 00:43:49.259
 who is

00:43:49.259 --> 00:43:49.699
 God,

00:43:50.339 --> 00:43:50.980
 if that's

00:43:50.980 --> 00:43:51.239
 how they

00:43:51.239 --> 00:43:51.539
 treated

00:43:51.539 --> 00:43:52.000
 me,

00:43:52.699 --> 00:43:53.279
 you don't

00:43:53.279 --> 00:43:53.880
 think your

00:43:53.880 --> 00:43:54.400
 life is

00:43:54.400 --> 00:43:54.559
 going to

00:43:54.559 --> 00:43:54.880
 be void

00:43:54.880 --> 00:43:55.380
 of suffering,

00:43:55.500 --> 00:43:55.759
 do you?

00:43:55.760 --> 00:43:57.880
 how much

00:43:57.880 --> 00:43:58.320
 more so,

00:43:58.380 --> 00:43:58.780
 he says,

00:43:58.820 --> 00:43:59.020
 look,

00:43:59.080 --> 00:43:59.320
 a slave

00:43:59.320 --> 00:43:59.520
 is not

00:43:59.520 --> 00:43:59.820
 greater than

00:43:59.820 --> 00:43:59.980
 his

00:43:59.980 --> 00:44:00.320
 master.

00:44:02.100 --> 00:44:02.480
 That's

00:44:02.480 --> 00:44:02.660
 why he

00:44:02.660 --> 00:44:02.860
 got a

00:44:02.860 --> 00:44:02.960
 little

00:44:02.960 --> 00:44:03.440
 frustrated

00:44:03.440 --> 00:44:03.620
 with

00:44:03.620 --> 00:44:03.840
 James

00:44:03.840 --> 00:44:03.980
 and

00:44:03.980 --> 00:44:04.160
 John.

00:44:04.240 --> 00:44:04.440
 Lord,

00:44:04.640 --> 00:44:04.960
 can we

00:44:04.960 --> 00:44:05.240
 sit at

00:44:05.240 --> 00:44:05.360
 your

00:44:05.360 --> 00:44:05.520
 right

00:44:05.520 --> 00:44:05.700
 hand?

00:44:06.540 --> 00:44:06.760
 Can

00:44:06.760 --> 00:44:06.920
 you

00:44:06.920 --> 00:44:07.240
 stop?

00:44:08.760 --> 00:44:09.000
 Can

00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:09.340
 we

00:44:09.340 --> 00:44:11.100
 put

00:44:11.100 --> 00:44:11.640
 aside

00:44:11.640 --> 00:44:12.060
 these

00:44:12.060 --> 00:44:12.520
 future

00:44:12.520 --> 00:44:13.000
 plans

00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:13.180
 of

00:44:13.180 --> 00:44:13.660
 succession

00:44:13.660 --> 00:44:14.060
 or

00:44:14.060 --> 00:44:14.700
 reigning?

00:44:16.180 --> 00:44:16.400
 The

00:44:16.400 --> 00:44:16.680
 son of

00:44:16.680 --> 00:44:16.820
 man

00:44:16.820 --> 00:44:17.020
 must

00:44:17.020 --> 00:44:17.280
 suffer

00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:17.660
 dying

00:44:17.660 --> 00:44:17.820
 on

00:44:17.820 --> 00:44:17.940
 the

00:44:17.940 --> 00:44:18.120
 third

00:44:18.120 --> 00:44:18.280
 day

00:44:18.280 --> 00:44:18.400
 be

00:44:18.400 --> 00:44:18.760
 raised.

00:44:18.900 --> 00:44:19.200
 Remember

00:44:19.200 --> 00:44:19.520
 that.

00:44:19.620 --> 00:44:19.760
 Let's

00:44:19.760 --> 00:44:19.920
 start

00:44:19.920 --> 00:44:20.080
 with

00:44:20.080 --> 00:44:20.340
 that.

00:44:21.620 --> 00:44:21.780
 What

00:44:21.780 --> 00:44:21.900
 does

00:44:21.900 --> 00:44:22.000
 he

00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:22.160
 mean

00:44:22.160 --> 00:44:22.340
 by

00:44:22.340 --> 00:44:22.600
 that?

00:44:23.920 --> 00:44:24.120
 They

00:44:24.120 --> 00:44:24.400
 found

00:44:24.400 --> 00:44:24.680
 out.

00:44:29.240 --> 00:44:29.960
 As we

00:44:29.960 --> 00:44:30.280
 bring the

00:44:30.280 --> 00:44:30.780
 message to

00:44:30.780 --> 00:44:31.420
 a close,

00:44:32.900 --> 00:44:34.420
 a very

00:44:34.420 --> 00:44:34.940
 important

00:44:34.940 --> 00:44:35.500
 quote

00:44:35.500 --> 00:44:37.139
 that I

00:44:37.139 --> 00:44:37.519
 love

00:44:37.519 --> 00:44:38.119
 is very

00:44:38.119 --> 00:44:38.539
 dear to

00:44:38.539 --> 00:44:38.860
 me.

00:44:43.579 --> 00:44:44.180
 Really

00:44:44.180 --> 00:44:45.900
 transformed

00:44:45.900 --> 00:44:46.599
 my life,

00:44:47.139 --> 00:44:47.880
 the trajectory

00:44:47.880 --> 00:44:48.420
 of it,

00:44:48.960 --> 00:44:50.119
 because

00:44:50.119 --> 00:44:51.099
 it's far

00:44:51.099 --> 00:44:51.840
 too easy

00:44:51.840 --> 00:44:52.720
 in this

00:44:52.720 --> 00:44:54.039
 life to

00:44:54.039 --> 00:44:54.559
 get caught

00:44:54.559 --> 00:44:55.000
 up in

00:44:55.000 --> 00:44:57.340
 cultural

00:44:57.340 --> 00:44:58.159
 Christianity,

00:44:59.779 --> 00:45:01.059
 where you

00:45:01.059 --> 00:45:01.400
 might just

00:45:01.400 --> 00:45:01.719
 go to

00:45:01.719 --> 00:45:02.139
 church,

00:45:02.480 --> 00:45:03.139
 and you

00:45:03.139 --> 00:45:03.679
 get married,

00:45:03.759 --> 00:45:04.019
 you have

00:45:04.019 --> 00:45:04.619
 kids,

00:45:05.279 --> 00:45:05.759
 culturally

00:45:05.759 --> 00:45:06.039
 you're

00:45:06.039 --> 00:45:06.360
 Christian,

00:45:06.420 --> 00:45:06.559
 you'll

00:45:06.559 --> 00:45:06.820
 go to

00:45:06.820 --> 00:45:07.099
 church,

00:45:07.199 --> 00:45:07.400
 you might

00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:07.599
 even

00:45:07.599 --> 00:45:08.079
 become a

00:45:08.079 --> 00:45:08.239
 member

00:45:08.239 --> 00:45:08.480
 of a

00:45:08.480 --> 00:45:08.759
 church,

00:45:08.880 --> 00:45:09.119
 but

00:45:09.119 --> 00:45:11.880
 your

00:45:11.880 --> 00:45:12.639
 internal

00:45:12.639 --> 00:45:13.860
 motive and

00:45:13.860 --> 00:45:14.219
 attitude

00:45:14.219 --> 00:45:14.759
 isn't

00:45:14.759 --> 00:45:15.139
 full,

00:45:15.300 --> 00:45:15.759
 complete,

00:45:15.940 --> 00:45:16.219
 total

00:45:16.219 --> 00:45:16.719
 devotion.

00:45:18.139 --> 00:45:18.619
 This

00:45:18.619 --> 00:45:19.300
 quote

00:45:19.300 --> 00:45:19.800
 really

00:45:19.800 --> 00:45:21.199
 moved me

00:45:21.199 --> 00:45:21.559
 in that

00:45:21.559 --> 00:45:22.000
 direction.

00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:25.059
 not that

00:45:25.059 --> 00:45:25.300
 I was

00:45:25.300 --> 00:45:25.679
 deceived,

00:45:25.800 --> 00:45:26.019
 but I

00:45:26.019 --> 00:45:26.219
 just

00:45:26.219 --> 00:45:26.480
 kind of

00:45:26.480 --> 00:45:26.719
 was a

00:45:26.719 --> 00:45:26.960
 product

00:45:26.960 --> 00:45:27.380
 of my

00:45:27.380 --> 00:45:27.739
 environment.

00:45:27.860 --> 00:45:28.059
 I was

00:45:28.059 --> 00:45:28.420
 in a

00:45:28.420 --> 00:45:29.940
 weak

00:45:29.940 --> 00:45:30.480
 teaching,

00:45:30.699 --> 00:45:31.099
 seeker

00:45:31.099 --> 00:45:31.380
 friendly

00:45:31.380 --> 00:45:31.760
 church,

00:45:31.820 --> 00:45:32.039
 where that

00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:32.480
 was just

00:45:32.480 --> 00:45:33.000
 the

00:45:33.000 --> 00:45:33.340
 attitude.

00:45:33.860 --> 00:45:34.539
 I heard

00:45:34.539 --> 00:45:35.019
 this,

00:45:35.400 --> 00:45:35.800
 a lot

00:45:35.800 --> 00:45:36.000
 has

00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:36.420
 changed.

00:45:37.239 --> 00:45:37.659
 Dr.

00:45:37.739 --> 00:45:37.980
 John

00:45:37.980 --> 00:45:38.440
 Piper

00:45:38.440 --> 00:45:39.960
 says

00:45:39.960 --> 00:45:40.460
 this,

00:45:40.460 --> 00:45:54.900
 John

00:45:54.900 --> 00:45:55.320
 MacArthur

00:45:55.320 --> 00:45:55.900
 commenting

00:45:55.900 --> 00:45:56.119
 and

00:45:56.119 --> 00:45:56.639
 clarifying

00:45:56.639 --> 00:45:57.099
 this,

00:45:58.099 --> 00:45:58.760
 he says

00:45:58.760 --> 00:45:59.940
 the

00:45:59.940 --> 00:46:00.400
 gospel

00:46:00.400 --> 00:46:01.179
 offers

00:46:01.179 --> 00:46:02.380
 what

00:46:02.380 --> 00:46:02.619
 the

00:46:02.619 --> 00:46:02.960
 sinner

00:46:02.960 --> 00:46:03.659
 does

00:46:03.659 --> 00:46:04.059
 not

00:46:04.059 --> 00:46:04.599
 want

00:46:04.599 --> 00:46:05.679
 naturally.

00:46:06.420 --> 00:46:07.000
 It

00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:07.679
 offers

00:46:07.679 --> 00:46:08.840
 reconciliation

00:46:08.840 --> 00:46:09.440
 with

00:46:09.440 --> 00:46:09.940
 God.

00:46:10.260 --> 00:46:10.900
 It

00:46:10.900 --> 00:46:11.360
 offers

00:46:11.360 --> 00:46:12.100
 righteousness,

00:46:12.760 --> 00:46:13.180
 holiness,

00:46:13.660 --> 00:46:14.140
 forgiveness,

00:46:14.680 --> 00:46:15.079
 heaven,

00:46:15.660 --> 00:46:16.559
 and dominating

00:46:16.559 --> 00:46:17.039
 all of

00:46:17.039 --> 00:46:17.340
 that.

00:46:17.920 --> 00:46:18.460
 Christ.

00:46:20.300 --> 00:46:21.140
 The

00:46:21.140 --> 00:46:21.620
 gospel

00:46:21.620 --> 00:46:22.960
 is not

00:46:22.960 --> 00:46:23.720
 a gospel.

00:46:23.960 --> 00:46:24.140
 Our

00:46:24.140 --> 00:46:24.700
 message

00:46:24.700 --> 00:46:25.200
 is not

00:46:25.200 --> 00:46:25.700
 a message

00:46:25.700 --> 00:46:26.140
 of

00:46:26.140 --> 00:46:26.800
 self

00:46:26.800 --> 00:46:27.480
 fulfillment.

00:46:28.039 --> 00:46:28.820
 It

00:46:28.820 --> 00:46:29.160
 is a

00:46:29.160 --> 00:46:29.760
 message

00:46:29.760 --> 00:46:30.440
 of

00:46:30.440 --> 00:46:30.960
 self

00:46:30.960 --> 00:46:31.760
 denial.

00:46:32.620 --> 00:46:33.400
 Paul

00:46:33.400 --> 00:46:33.579
 in

00:46:33.579 --> 00:46:34.039
 Philippians

00:46:34.039 --> 00:46:34.300
 3

00:46:34.300 --> 00:46:34.860
 later in

00:46:34.860 --> 00:46:35.019
 this

00:46:35.019 --> 00:46:35.300
 letter

00:46:35.300 --> 00:46:36.019
 goes on

00:46:36.019 --> 00:46:36.500
 to say,

00:46:36.500 --> 00:46:37.659
 but

00:46:37.659 --> 00:46:38.019
 whatever

00:46:38.019 --> 00:46:38.440
 gain

00:46:38.440 --> 00:46:38.619
 I

00:46:38.619 --> 00:46:38.920
 had

00:46:38.920 --> 00:46:39.079
 I

00:46:39.079 --> 00:46:39.400
 counted

00:46:39.400 --> 00:46:39.639
 as

00:46:39.639 --> 00:46:39.940
 loss

00:46:39.940 --> 00:46:40.099
 for

00:46:40.099 --> 00:46:40.260
 the

00:46:40.260 --> 00:46:40.460
 sake

00:46:40.460 --> 00:46:40.619
 of

00:46:40.619 --> 00:46:41.079
 Christ.

00:46:41.619 --> 00:46:41.980
 Indeed,

00:46:42.380 --> 00:46:42.659
 I

00:46:42.659 --> 00:46:42.920
 count

00:46:42.920 --> 00:46:43.400
 everything

00:46:43.400 --> 00:46:43.659
 as

00:46:43.659 --> 00:46:44.099
 loss

00:46:44.099 --> 00:46:44.619
 because

00:46:44.619 --> 00:46:44.880
 of

00:46:44.880 --> 00:46:45.059
 the

00:46:45.059 --> 00:46:45.760
 surpassing

00:46:45.760 --> 00:46:46.059
 worth

00:46:46.059 --> 00:46:46.199
 of

00:46:46.199 --> 00:46:46.380
 knowing

00:46:46.380 --> 00:46:46.760
 Christ

00:46:46.760 --> 00:46:47.079
 Jesus

00:46:47.079 --> 00:46:47.380
 my

00:46:47.380 --> 00:46:47.760
 Lord.

00:46:48.539 --> 00:46:48.659
 For

00:46:48.659 --> 00:46:48.940
 his

00:46:48.940 --> 00:46:49.300
 sake

00:46:49.300 --> 00:46:49.519
 I

00:46:49.519 --> 00:46:49.699
 have

00:46:49.699 --> 00:46:50.079
 suffered

00:46:50.079 --> 00:46:50.300
 the

00:46:50.300 --> 00:46:50.599
 loss

00:46:50.599 --> 00:46:50.760
 of

00:46:50.760 --> 00:46:50.960
 all

00:46:50.960 --> 00:46:51.320
 things

00:46:51.320 --> 00:46:51.519
 and

00:46:51.519 --> 00:46:51.780
 count

00:46:51.780 --> 00:46:51.940
 them

00:46:51.940 --> 00:46:52.119
 as

00:46:52.119 --> 00:46:52.639
 rubbish

00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:53.639
 in

00:46:53.639 --> 00:46:53.960
 order

00:46:53.960 --> 00:46:54.199
 that

00:46:54.199 --> 00:46:54.320
 I

00:46:54.320 --> 00:46:54.519
 may

00:46:54.519 --> 00:46:54.880
 gain

00:46:54.880 --> 00:46:55.239
 Christ

00:46:55.239 --> 00:46:55.420
 and

00:46:55.420 --> 00:46:55.579
 be

00:46:55.579 --> 00:46:55.860
 found

00:46:55.860 --> 00:46:56.079
 in

00:46:56.079 --> 00:46:56.320
 him

00:46:56.320 --> 00:46:56.940
 not

00:46:56.940 --> 00:46:57.239
 having

00:46:57.239 --> 00:46:57.400
 a

00:46:57.400 --> 00:46:57.739
 righteousness

00:46:57.739 --> 00:46:58.059
 of

00:46:58.059 --> 00:46:58.239
 my

00:46:58.239 --> 00:46:58.400
 own

00:46:58.400 --> 00:46:58.539
 that

00:46:58.539 --> 00:46:58.760
 comes

00:46:58.760 --> 00:46:58.920
 from

00:46:58.920 --> 00:46:59.079
 the

00:46:59.079 --> 00:46:59.400
 law

00:46:59.400 --> 00:46:59.920
 but

00:46:59.920 --> 00:47:00.200
 that

00:47:00.200 --> 00:47:00.440
 which

00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:00.740
 comes

00:47:00.740 --> 00:47:00.920
 through

00:47:00.920 --> 00:47:01.220
 faith

00:47:01.220 --> 00:47:01.400
 in

00:47:01.400 --> 00:47:01.880
 Christ

00:47:01.880 --> 00:47:02.260
 the

00:47:02.260 --> 00:47:02.740
 righteousness

00:47:02.740 --> 00:47:03.119
 from

00:47:03.119 --> 00:47:03.420
 God

00:47:03.420 --> 00:47:03.619
 that

00:47:03.619 --> 00:47:04.000
 depends

00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:04.260
 on

00:47:04.260 --> 00:47:04.820
 faith

00:47:04.820 --> 00:47:06.360
 we

00:47:06.360 --> 00:47:06.639
 must

00:47:06.639 --> 00:47:07.039
 remember

 our

00:49:47.639 --> 00:49:48.340
 Nicodemus

 it

00:49:51.220 --> 00:49:51.360
 is

00:49:58.520 --> 00:49:58.840
 born

00:49:58.840 --> 00:49:59.460

 comes

00:51:49.219 --> 00:51:50.539
 look

00:51:50.539 --> 00:51:51.000
 for some

00:51:51.000 --> 00:51:51.299
 reason

00:51:51.299 --> 00:51:51.939
 everyone

00:51:51.939 --> 00:51:52.500
 thinks

00:51:52.500 --> 00:51:52.719
 they're

00:51:52.719 --> 00:51:52.959
 going to

00:51:52.959 --> 00:51:53.239
 die

00:51:53.239 --> 00:51:53.379
 in

00:51:53.379 --> 00:51:53.519
 their

00:51:53.519 --> 00:51:53.819
 bed

00:51:53.819 --> 00:51:53.959
 at

00:51:53.959 --> 00:51:54.259
 100

00:51:54.259 --> 00:51:54.639
 years

00:51:54.639 --> 00:51:55.019
 old

00:51:55.019 --> 00:51:55.939
 painless

00:51:55.939 --> 00:51:56.259
 in

00:51:56.259 --> 00:51:56.379
 a

00:51:56.379 --> 00:51:56.779
 hospital

00:51:56.779 --> 00:51:57.119
 with

00:51:57.119 --> 00:51:57.399
 plenty

00:51:57.399 --> 00:51:57.579
 of

00:51:57.579 --> 00:51:57.879
 pain

00:51:57.879 --> 00:51:58.459
 meds

00:51:58.459 --> 00:51:59.019
 surrounded

00:51:59.019 --> 00:51:59.259
 by

00:51:59.259 --> 00:51:59.699
 family

00:51:59.699 --> 00:52:00.019
 and

00:52:00.019 --> 00:52:00.219
 dying

00:52:00.219 --> 00:52:00.379
 their

00:52:00.379 --> 00:52:00.619
 sleep

00:52:00.619 --> 00:52:01.079
 painless

00:52:01.079 --> 00:52:01.899
 why

00:52:01.899 --> 00:52:02.199
 do we

00:52:02.199 --> 00:52:02.959
 think

00:52:02.960 --> 00:52:03.260
 that

00:52:03.260 --> 00:52:05.860
 you know

00:52:05.860 --> 00:52:06.199
 I think

00:52:06.199 --> 00:52:06.480
 of like

00:52:06.480 --> 00:52:06.960
 9-11

00:52:06.960 --> 00:52:07.500
 a lot

00:52:07.500 --> 00:52:08.800
 when you

00:52:08.800 --> 00:52:09.220
 watch the

00:52:09.220 --> 00:52:09.599
 plane hit

00:52:09.599 --> 00:52:10.079
 the tower

00:52:10.079 --> 00:52:11.820
 like someone

00:52:11.820 --> 00:52:12.240
 was probably

00:52:12.240 --> 00:52:12.659
 sitting there

00:52:12.659 --> 00:52:13.059
 pouring their

00:52:13.059 --> 00:52:13.360
 coffee

00:52:13.360 --> 00:52:13.780
 getting ready

00:52:13.780 --> 00:52:14.079
 for their

00:52:14.079 --> 00:52:14.480
 meeting

00:52:14.480 --> 00:52:17.099
 next thing

00:52:17.099 --> 00:52:17.579
 you know

00:52:17.579 --> 00:52:20.139
 we know

00:52:20.139 --> 00:52:20.619
 what happens

00:52:20.619 --> 00:52:21.079
 next

00:52:21.079 --> 00:52:23.000
 why do you

00:52:23.000 --> 00:52:23.740
 think that

00:52:23.740 --> 00:52:24.720
 do you

00:52:24.720 --> 00:52:25.139
 think that

00:52:25.139 --> 00:52:25.440
 way

00:52:25.440 --> 00:52:28.280
 the

00:52:28.280 --> 00:52:28.880
 Christian

00:52:28.880 --> 00:52:30.780
 must live

00:52:30.780 --> 00:52:31.519
 for Christ

00:52:31.519 --> 00:52:32.460
 now

00:52:32.460 --> 00:52:34.039
 the

00:52:34.039 --> 00:52:34.559
 believer

00:52:34.559 --> 00:52:35.539
 must

00:52:35.539 --> 00:52:35.940
 serve

00:52:35.940 --> 00:52:36.340
 Christ

00:52:36.340 --> 00:52:36.700
 now

00:52:36.700 --> 00:52:37.139
 and

00:52:37.139 --> 00:52:37.340
 the

00:52:37.340 --> 00:52:37.659
 sinner

00:52:37.659 --> 00:52:39.659
 must

00:52:39.659 --> 00:52:39.900
 come

00:52:39.900 --> 00:52:40.079
 to

00:52:40.079 --> 00:52:40.440
 Christ

00:52:40.440 --> 00:52:41.500
 now

00:52:41.500 --> 00:52:43.800

00:52:44.780 --> 00:52:45.119

00:52:45.119 --> 00:52:45.360
 harden

00:52:45.360 --> 00:52:45.559
 your

00:52:45.559 --> 00:52:45.920
