WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.919
 Once again, thank you for your warm welcome. It's lovely to be with you again tonight,

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:09.480
 and we pray God's blessing as we join together around his word. And so we're going to begin

00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:15.220
 by worshiping God, singing to his praise from Psalm 9. Psalm 9 and sing Psalms,

00:00:15.220 --> 00:00:19.000
 that's on page 8 of the Blue Psalm books, 9a.

00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:28.259
 We'll read from verse 9.

00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:53.219
 We'll sing down to the end of the verse marked 14, to the tune done firmly,

00:00:53.380 --> 00:00:57.159
 and standing to sing, The Lord Will Be a Hiding Place.

00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:13.939
 The Lord will be a hiding place, for the host of our rest,

00:01:13.939 --> 00:01:28.219
 and he will be a strong defence, for those who are distressed.

00:01:28.219 --> 00:01:43.280
 All those who know your name, O Lord, in you their just will place,

00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:58.159
 for you do not abandon those who seek your gracious face.

00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:12.879
 Sing praises to the Lord who saith, in Zion on his throne,

00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:20.759
 among the nations of the world,

00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:27.840
 proclaim what he has done.

00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:36.240
 For he, the adventurer of man's blood,

00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:50.800
 remembers evermore, the cry of the afflicted one,

00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:57.719
 he never will ignore.

00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:12.900
 O Lord, see how my enemies are persecuting me,

00:03:12.900 --> 00:03:20.379
 and mercy from the gates of death,

00:03:20.379 --> 00:03:27.780
 let me have set me free.

00:03:27.780 --> 00:03:42.780
 So that in Zion's city gates, pure grace I may declare,

00:03:42.780 --> 00:03:58.259
 and that I may exult with joy in your salvation air.

00:03:58.259 --> 00:04:03.939
 Let's unite our hearts in prayer.

00:04:03.939 --> 00:04:05.739
 Let us pray.

00:04:05.740 --> 00:04:15.879
 Gracious God, we are humbled this evening hour of worship,

00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:22.340
 that a God who is infinite, eternal, and unchangeable,

00:04:22.339 --> 00:04:28.619
 one who is holy, holy, holy, holy,

00:04:28.619 --> 00:04:31.019
 one who inhabits eternity,

00:04:31.019 --> 00:04:38.359
 has indeed chosen to condescend to reveal himself to us,

00:04:38.359 --> 00:04:42.899
 that you are not a God who is distant or detached,

00:04:43.819 --> 00:04:45.699
 a God who cannot be known,

00:04:45.699 --> 00:04:52.500
 but rather a God who tells us even today to come.

00:04:52.500 --> 00:04:57.839
 Come unto me, all you who labor and are heavy laden,

00:04:58.500 --> 00:05:02.599
 and I will give you rest, rest for your souls.

00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:06.159
 And how we long this evening hour to know that,

00:05:06.339 --> 00:05:10.879
 rest afresh as we come and as we find ourselves

00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:15.519
 as those who are sojourners through this wilderness that is time.

00:05:15.699 --> 00:05:21.300
 negotiating our way through many trials and temptations,

00:05:22.300 --> 00:05:25.659
 difficulties and discouragements.

00:05:26.599 --> 00:05:30.500
 But yet in the midst of it all, you are God.

00:05:31.599 --> 00:05:33.139
 And so we praise you, O Lord,

00:05:33.259 --> 00:05:38.000
 that we are not found this Saturday evening as we once were,

00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.939
 perhaps, worshiping idols dumb,

00:05:41.919 --> 00:05:45.019
 giving ourselves over to the things of this world

00:05:45.019 --> 00:05:47.500
 that cry out peace, peace,

00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:49.879
 where there is no peace.

00:05:50.620 --> 00:05:56.659
 Those many temptations that captivate our hearts and our minds,

00:05:57.259 --> 00:06:00.259
 those things that even give to us pleasure,

00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:03.620
 but yet only for a moment.

00:06:03.620 --> 00:06:06.060
 We praise you, O Lord,

00:06:06.060 --> 00:06:07.879
 that by the grace of God,

00:06:07.939 --> 00:06:08.980
 we are able to see,

00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:10.639
 at least in a measure,

00:06:10.740 --> 00:06:12.420
 the deceitfulness of sin,

00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.519
 a world that promises us so much,

00:06:15.579 --> 00:06:19.199
 yet time and time again fails to deliver.

00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:22.360
 And so we bless you and we praise you then

00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:26.259
 for the fact that you never fail to deliver,

00:06:26.259 --> 00:06:29.659
 that you are a covenant-keeping God,

00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.000
 that you are a God who,

00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:35.240
 in spite of our unfaithfulness,

00:06:36.039 --> 00:06:37.139
 remains faithful,

00:06:38.219 --> 00:06:43.420
 a God whose promises are from everlasting to everlasting.

00:06:43.659 --> 00:06:44.599
 And in light of this,

00:06:44.719 --> 00:06:48.420
 we pray that we might be found as your people

00:06:48.420 --> 00:06:50.079
 pleading these promises,

00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:52.579
 for we have nothing else.

00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:56.500
 Not only would we plead these promises

00:06:56.500 --> 00:06:58.399
 that are set before us,

00:06:58.919 --> 00:07:01.300
 the innumerable truths in your scripture,

00:07:01.500 --> 00:07:04.339
 but that we would do so with confidence.

00:07:05.500 --> 00:07:06.500
 Forgive us, O Lord,

00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:08.659
 for our lack of faith.

00:07:09.620 --> 00:07:13.159
 Forgive us for neglecting to remember

00:07:13.159 --> 00:07:16.519
 that you are the creator of the heavens and the earth

00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:18.019
 and all that in them is.

00:07:18.919 --> 00:07:20.319
 You are the one who has wrought

00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:23.299
 perhaps even the greatest miracle of all

00:07:23.299 --> 00:07:26.139
 by bringing sinners such as we are

00:07:26.139 --> 00:07:29.919
 from darkness into your own marvellous light.

00:07:30.899 --> 00:07:33.099
 And as we reflect upon who you are

00:07:33.099 --> 00:07:35.139
 and the power of your hand,

00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:37.799
 help us all the more to believe,

00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:39.359
 to trust,

00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:44.259
 to come and to cast ourselves upon you.

00:07:44.259 --> 00:07:47.800
 And Lord, we pray this evening,

00:07:48.060 --> 00:07:49.599
 especially for this town.

00:07:50.379 --> 00:07:52.899
 We are so mindful of the fact that,

00:07:53.459 --> 00:07:54.539
 relatively speaking,

00:07:54.860 --> 00:07:57.139
 we are few in number gathered here,

00:07:58.139 --> 00:07:59.399
 that there are so many

00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:03.560
 seeking to find that fulfilment elsewhere.

00:08:04.719 --> 00:08:06.920
 Those who have no word of their soul,

00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:10.959
 those who are captured by the world

00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:13.240
 and the flesh and the devil.

00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:15.639
 Remind us, O Lord,

00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:17.360
 that it is but by the grace of God

00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:19.639
 that we are what we are.

00:08:20.280 --> 00:08:21.920
 And were it not for that grace,

00:08:22.139 --> 00:08:23.660
 we would be there also.

00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:26.060
 But what we long for, O Lord,

00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:29.759
 is to see this town revived and renewed,

00:08:29.840 --> 00:08:31.040
 that we as your people

00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.860
 might see afresh the wonder

00:08:33.860 --> 00:08:35.639
 of that salvation

00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:37.240
 that has been wrought for us

00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:38.560
 on Calvary's tree,

00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:42.619
 that we would afresh be amazed

00:08:42.619 --> 00:08:45.279
 by that sacrificial act of love

00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:47.699
 that has given unto us a hope

00:08:47.699 --> 00:08:49.059
 not only for time,

00:08:49.859 --> 00:08:51.199
 but for all eternity.

00:08:52.239 --> 00:08:53.719
 And that us being renewed

00:08:53.719 --> 00:08:56.119
 and revived in our own spirit,

00:08:56.299 --> 00:08:57.439
 that this would indeed

00:08:57.439 --> 00:09:00.219
 flow out to those around us,

00:09:00.299 --> 00:09:01.659
 our friends, our neighbours,

00:09:02.339 --> 00:09:03.059
 our family.

00:09:03.059 --> 00:09:05.459
 And that we would indeed see

00:09:05.459 --> 00:09:07.459
 days where your name

00:09:07.459 --> 00:09:09.199
 is high and lifted up,

00:09:09.259 --> 00:09:10.099
 even days,

00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:12.659
 as in days not so long ago,

00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:14.399
 where this very building

00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:15.239
 would be filled

00:09:15.239 --> 00:09:16.579
 with men and women,

00:09:16.839 --> 00:09:17.879
 boys and girls,

00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:19.479
 with that longing

00:09:19.479 --> 00:09:21.399
 and that desire in their heart

00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:24.519
 to come and worship you.

00:09:25.079 --> 00:09:26.359
 O Lord, you are able.

00:09:26.979 --> 00:09:28.619
 And so we pray it to be so,

00:09:28.739 --> 00:09:31.459
 for the glory of your name.

00:09:31.460 --> 00:09:33.200
 But in the meantime,

00:09:33.400 --> 00:09:34.660
 O Lord, we give thanks.

00:09:35.340 --> 00:09:36.120
 We give thanks

00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:38.820
 that you are still saving souls.

00:09:39.800 --> 00:09:40.820
 We praise your name

00:09:40.820 --> 00:09:41.900
 for our dear sister

00:09:41.900 --> 00:09:43.540
 who has professed faith

00:09:43.540 --> 00:09:44.639
 for the first time

00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:46.400
 in this congregation.

00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:48.420
 Although perhaps we know,

00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:50.540
 we do not all know her,

00:09:50.680 --> 00:09:51.560
 you know her.

00:09:52.340 --> 00:09:53.320
 You are the God

00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:55.100
 who has called her to yourself.

00:09:55.220 --> 00:09:55.840
 And we pray

00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:57.379
 that you would be with her

00:09:57.379 --> 00:09:59.400
 as she takes this step of faith

00:09:59.400 --> 00:10:00.920
 that she would know

00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:02.219
 in a very real way

00:10:02.219 --> 00:10:03.120
 the strengthening

00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:05.299
 that follows obedience.

00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:06.740
 That you would,

00:10:06.839 --> 00:10:07.379
 as it were,

00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:10.759
 put that wall of fire around her,

00:10:10.839 --> 00:10:11.819
 protecting her

00:10:11.819 --> 00:10:13.099
 from the fiery darts

00:10:13.099 --> 00:10:14.120
 of the evil one

00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:15.179
 who no doubt

00:10:15.179 --> 00:10:16.579
 even this evening hour

00:10:16.579 --> 00:10:18.219
 seeks to distract her

00:10:18.219 --> 00:10:20.519
 and to bring her

00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:22.479
 to that place of despondency.

00:10:22.659 --> 00:10:24.740
 We know that he is a liar.

00:10:25.500 --> 00:10:26.179
 He is the one

00:10:26.179 --> 00:10:27.579
 who seeks to rob us

00:10:27.579 --> 00:10:28.779
 of our peace.

00:10:28.779 --> 00:10:30.579
 And what we pray for her,

00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:31.779
 we pray for us all

00:10:31.779 --> 00:10:32.699
 as we prepare,

00:10:33.439 --> 00:10:35.120
 as we prepare to come

00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:36.620
 and to do this

00:10:36.620 --> 00:10:38.459
 in remembrance of you.

00:10:39.100 --> 00:10:41.100
 That we would do so

00:10:41.100 --> 00:10:43.620
 in remembrance of the one

00:10:43.620 --> 00:10:46.339
 who is so worth remembering.

00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:49.039
 In remembrance of the one

00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:51.480
 who never forgets us

00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:53.919
 although we forget him.

00:10:54.860 --> 00:10:55.240
 Lord,

00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:56.659
 that you would be pleased

00:10:56.659 --> 00:10:57.480
 in your mercy

00:10:57.480 --> 00:10:58.219
 and your grace

00:10:58.219 --> 00:10:58.980
 and your love

00:10:58.980 --> 00:11:00.919
 to grant unto us

00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:01.879
 even a glimpse

00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:03.939
 of yourself.

00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:05.959
 That we would behold

00:11:05.959 --> 00:11:07.480
 the beauty of the king

00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:09.059
 through the lattice

00:11:09.059 --> 00:11:11.219
 of his word.

00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:12.600
 That you would show

00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:13.860
 unto us something

00:11:13.860 --> 00:11:15.939
 of who you are

00:11:15.939 --> 00:11:17.539
 and what you have done

00:11:17.539 --> 00:11:19.000
 for wretched sinners

00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:20.899
 such as we are.

00:11:20.959 --> 00:11:21.939
 We are not worthy.

00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:23.379
 We are not worthy

00:11:23.379 --> 00:11:24.879
 of the smallest

00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:26.080
 of your mercies.

00:11:26.539 --> 00:11:27.799
 But yet we praise you

00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:28.600
 all the more

00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:29.700
 that we come not

00:11:29.700 --> 00:11:30.860
 leaning upon our own

00:11:30.860 --> 00:11:31.700
 worthiness,

00:11:32.299 --> 00:11:33.639
 our own good works,

00:11:34.179 --> 00:11:35.639
 but rather upon the one

00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:36.919
 who has cried out,

00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:39.779
 it is finished.

00:11:40.419 --> 00:11:41.100
 And if there are any

00:11:41.100 --> 00:11:41.919
 here tonight

00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:43.039
 who are yet to come

00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:44.980
 and to profess your name,

00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:47.480
 who perhaps have many fears

00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:48.700
 and questions

00:11:48.700 --> 00:11:50.120
 at the front of their mind

00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:52.580
 that are perhaps

00:11:52.580 --> 00:11:53.620
 prohibiting them

00:11:53.620 --> 00:11:54.480
 from doing so,

00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:55.019
 that you would

00:11:55.019 --> 00:11:56.700
 take these things

00:11:56.700 --> 00:11:57.300
 from them

00:11:57.300 --> 00:11:58.120
 and enable them

00:11:58.120 --> 00:11:59.600
 to see even tonight

00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:01.539
 that we are called

00:12:01.539 --> 00:12:03.000
 to a life of faith.

00:12:03.580 --> 00:12:04.800
 We are not to look

00:12:04.800 --> 00:12:06.639
 through the eyes

00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:07.879
 of our own reason,

00:12:08.560 --> 00:12:09.600
 but through the eyes

00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:11.060
 of Scripture.

00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:12.800
 That we would come

00:12:12.800 --> 00:12:14.039
 and that we would believe

00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:15.819
 that you are a God

00:12:15.819 --> 00:12:17.679
 who has never once

00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:18.860
 let down any

00:12:18.860 --> 00:12:19.699
 who have come out

00:12:19.699 --> 00:12:20.759
 on your side.

00:12:21.419 --> 00:12:22.120
 Yes, we know

00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:23.240
 for all of us here

00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:24.000
 we have times

00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:24.980
 of difficulties,

00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:26.620
 times of joy,

00:12:26.819 --> 00:12:28.139
 times of expectation,

00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:29.959
 times of sorrow.

00:12:30.620 --> 00:12:31.879
 Yet every step

00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:32.480
 of the way

00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:33.679
 you are there

00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:34.740
 by our side

00:12:34.740 --> 00:12:35.980
 leading us

00:12:35.980 --> 00:12:37.019
 and guiding us.

00:12:37.659 --> 00:12:38.559
 And so we pray then

00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:40.419
 that you would bless us

00:12:40.419 --> 00:12:41.259
 as we come around

00:12:41.259 --> 00:12:42.439
 your word this evening.

00:12:42.599 --> 00:12:43.779
 We thank you for it.

00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:45.679
 As it speaks to us,

00:12:45.719 --> 00:12:47.480
 as it challenges us

00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:49.279
 and encourages us

00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:50.819
 that you would grant

00:12:50.819 --> 00:12:53.079
 unto us hearing ears

00:12:53.079 --> 00:12:54.279
 and hearts

00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:55.620
 that are ready

00:12:55.620 --> 00:12:57.299
 and willing to receive

00:12:57.299 --> 00:12:58.319
 not the word

00:12:58.319 --> 00:12:59.000
 of the preacher

00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:00.419
 but the word

00:13:00.419 --> 00:13:02.099
 of God himself.

00:13:02.419 --> 00:13:03.759
 That your Holy Spirit

00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:04.759
 might truly be

00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:05.639
 in our midst

00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:07.759
 accompanying your truth

00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:08.939
 so that we might

00:13:08.939 --> 00:13:09.879
 be able to see

00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:10.759
 it was good

00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:12.319
 for us to meet.

00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:13.080
 We pray for

00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:14.500
 our dear brothers

00:13:14.500 --> 00:13:14.920
 here,

00:13:15.140 --> 00:13:16.600
 for James

00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:17.660
 and for Colin Mordo.

00:13:17.820 --> 00:13:19.120
 We give thanks

00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:20.040
 for their ministry,

00:13:20.220 --> 00:13:20.920
 for their witness,

00:13:21.220 --> 00:13:22.420
 for their faithfulness.

00:13:23.160 --> 00:13:24.040
 We pray, O Lord,

00:13:24.140 --> 00:13:25.240
 that they would see

00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:26.520
 fruit for their labor,

00:13:26.920 --> 00:13:28.240
 that they would be

00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:29.700
 encouraged in their work

00:13:29.700 --> 00:13:31.080
 as they continue

00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:31.900
 to reach out

00:13:31.900 --> 00:13:32.720
 with the good news

00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:33.440
 of the gospel

00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:34.940
 and that together

00:13:34.940 --> 00:13:35.540
 with their

00:13:35.540 --> 00:13:36.620
 curccession,

00:13:36.820 --> 00:13:37.700
 deacon's court,

00:13:37.860 --> 00:13:38.460
 their members

00:13:38.460 --> 00:13:39.440
 and their adherents,

00:13:39.900 --> 00:13:40.540
 they would have

00:13:40.540 --> 00:13:42.300
 that zeal

00:13:42.300 --> 00:13:43.080
 and vision

00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:44.360
 to indeed

00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:44.960
 go out

00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:46.060
 with that glorious

00:13:46.060 --> 00:13:46.760
 message

00:13:46.760 --> 00:13:48.580
 for time is short

00:13:48.580 --> 00:13:49.940
 and eternity

00:13:49.940 --> 00:13:50.680
 is long.

00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:51.860
 Go with us

00:13:51.860 --> 00:13:52.080
 then,

00:13:52.160 --> 00:13:52.620
 we pray,

00:13:53.040 --> 00:13:53.740
 and forgive us

00:13:53.740 --> 00:13:54.780
 for Jesus' sake.

00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:55.420
 Amen.

00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:57.379
 We're going to sing

00:13:57.379 --> 00:13:57.599
 then,

00:13:57.740 --> 00:13:57.959
 friends,

00:13:58.019 --> 00:13:58.579
 once more

00:13:58.579 --> 00:14:01.279
 from Psalm 19

00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:02.779
 in the Scottish Psalter.

00:14:04.179 --> 00:14:05.240
 Psalm 19.

00:14:13.079 --> 00:14:14.199
 I'm going to pick up

00:14:14.199 --> 00:14:14.620
 our reading

00:14:14.620 --> 00:14:16.360
 at verse 8.

00:14:16.439 --> 00:14:18.059
 That's on page 223.

00:14:20.179 --> 00:14:21.419
 Psalm 19.

00:14:21.419 --> 00:14:22.819
 The statutes

00:14:22.819 --> 00:14:23.539
 of the Lord

00:14:23.539 --> 00:14:24.199
 are right

00:14:24.199 --> 00:14:25.459
 and do rejoice

00:14:25.459 --> 00:14:26.120
 the heart.

00:14:26.819 --> 00:14:27.819
 The Lord's command

00:14:27.819 --> 00:14:28.620
 is pure

00:14:28.620 --> 00:14:29.959
 and doth light

00:14:29.959 --> 00:14:31.240
 to the eyes

00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:31.779
 impart.

00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:33.419
 Unspotted

00:14:33.419 --> 00:14:34.259
 is the fear

00:14:34.259 --> 00:14:34.799
 of God

00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:35.819
 and doth endure

00:14:35.819 --> 00:14:36.299
 forever.

00:14:36.979 --> 00:14:37.599
 The judgments

00:14:37.599 --> 00:14:38.360
 of the Lord

00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:39.000
 are true

00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:40.459
 and righteous

00:14:40.459 --> 00:14:42.120
 altogether.

00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:42.939
 We'll sing

00:14:42.939 --> 00:14:43.699
 down to the

00:14:43.699 --> 00:14:44.679
 end of the first

00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:46.159
 part of verse 13

00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:47.240
 to the praise

00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:47.699
 of God

00:14:47.699 --> 00:14:48.379
 and to the tune

00:14:48.379 --> 00:14:49.079
 Bethesda.

00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:50.199
 Standing to sing

00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:51.480
 The statutes

00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:53.040
 of the Lord

00:14:53.040 --> 00:14:53.759
 are right.

00:14:53.759 --> 00:15:00.759
 The statutes

00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:05.759
 of the Lord

00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:08.879
 are right

00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:12.759
 and do rejoice

00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:16.759
 the heart

00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:20.139
 the Lord's

00:15:20.139 --> 00:15:20.179
 heard The Lord's

00:15:20.179 --> 00:15:22.279
 peace

00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:22.720
 no matter

00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:24.779
 is pure

00:15:25.659 --> 00:15:27.939
 and dumb

00:15:27.939 --> 00:15:29.179
 high

00:15:29.179 --> 00:15:31.539
 to be

00:15:31.539 --> 00:15:31.919
 Fot swerve

00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:45.959
 little

00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:54.120
 And doth endure forever

00:15:54.120 --> 00:16:06.300
 The judgment's all the Lord are true

00:16:06.300 --> 00:16:13.259
 And righteous all together

00:16:13.259 --> 00:16:20.240
 They bore and bore

00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:25.480
 In much time old

00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:33.879
 To be desired and

00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:39.659
 And money, money

00:16:39.659 --> 00:16:44.319
 From the cold

00:16:44.319 --> 00:16:51.639
 That drop the sweeter fire

00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:57.620
 Moreover day

00:16:57.620 --> 00:17:03.620
 Thy servant mourn

00:17:03.620 --> 00:17:12.099
 Are thee this life should pain

00:17:12.099 --> 00:17:22.079
 A great reward provided is

00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:31.079
 For them that keep us safe

00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:41.059
 Who can this ever understand

00:17:41.059 --> 00:17:48.059
 Oh, thanks I'll be within

00:17:48.059 --> 00:17:52.720
 From sin

00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:55.099
 Thy cause

00:17:55.099 --> 00:18:00.200
 Thy servant keep

00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:03.039
 From all

00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:07.039
 Resanctious sin

00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:17.420
 Well friends, let's join together

00:18:17.420 --> 00:18:18.960
 To read the word of God

00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:21.079
 We're going to read from 1 Peter

00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:24.159
 1 Peter chapter 1

00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:39.140
 We can read the whole chapter together

00:18:39.740 --> 00:18:41.880
 Let us hear the word of God

00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:46.860
 Peter

00:18:46.860 --> 00:18:48.920
 Peter

00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:51.460
 An apostle of Jesus Christ

00:18:51.460 --> 00:18:54.340
 To those who are elect exiles

00:18:54.340 --> 00:18:57.140
 Of the dispersion in Pontus

00:18:57.140 --> 00:18:58.540
 Galatia

00:18:58.540 --> 00:18:59.540
 Cappadocia

00:19:00.180 --> 00:19:00.540
 Asia

00:19:01.260 --> 00:19:02.140
 And Bithynia

00:19:02.140 --> 00:19:04.460
 According to the foreknowledge

00:19:04.460 --> 00:19:05.540
 Of God the Father

00:19:05.540 --> 00:19:07.980
 In the sanctification of the Spirit

00:19:07.980 --> 00:19:10.799
 For obedience to Jesus Christ

00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:13.900
 And for sprinkling with his blood

00:19:13.900 --> 00:19:17.960
 May grace and peace be multiplied to you

00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:20.599
 Blessed be the God and Father

00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:22.339
 Of our Lord Jesus Christ

00:19:22.339 --> 00:19:24.900
 According to his great mercy

00:19:24.900 --> 00:19:27.299
 He has caused us to be born again

00:19:27.299 --> 00:19:28.620
 To a living hope

00:19:28.620 --> 00:19:31.259
 Through the resurrection of Jesus Christ

00:19:31.259 --> 00:19:31.960
 From the dead

00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:35.279
 To an inheritance that is imperishable

00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:37.759
 Undefiled and unfading

00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:40.160
 Kept in heaven for you

00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:42.099
 Who by God's power

00:19:42.099 --> 00:19:42.980
 Are being guarded

00:19:42.980 --> 00:19:44.119
 Through faith

00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:45.619
 For a salvation

00:19:45.619 --> 00:19:47.039
 Ready to be revealed

00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:48.200
 In the last time

00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:50.500
 In this you rejoice

00:19:50.500 --> 00:19:52.299
 Though now for a little while

00:19:52.299 --> 00:19:53.119
 If necessary

00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:54.819
 You have been grieved

00:19:54.819 --> 00:19:56.200
 By various trials

00:19:56.200 --> 00:19:58.200
 So that the tested

00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:00.099
 Genuineness of your faith

00:20:00.099 --> 00:20:01.960
 More precious than gold

00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:02.980
 That perishes

00:20:02.980 --> 00:20:05.359
 That it is tested by fire

00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:07.259
 May be found to result

00:20:07.259 --> 00:20:08.200
 In praise

00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:09.500
 And glory

00:20:09.500 --> 00:20:10.319
 And honor

00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:11.720
 At the revelation

00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:12.960
 Of Jesus Christ

00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:15.480
 Though you have not seen him

00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:17.160
 You love him

00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:21.019
 Though you do not now see him

00:20:21.019 --> 00:20:22.779
 You believe in him

00:20:22.779 --> 00:20:25.000
 And rejoice with joy

00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:26.579
 That is inexpressible

00:20:26.579 --> 00:20:28.559
 And filled with glory

00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:30.460
 Obtaining the outcome

00:20:30.460 --> 00:20:31.339
 Of your faith

00:20:31.339 --> 00:20:32.720
 The salvation

00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:34.180
 Of your souls

00:20:34.180 --> 00:20:37.000
 Concerning this salvation

00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:37.759
 The prophets

00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:39.120
 Who prophesied

00:20:39.120 --> 00:20:40.360
 About the grace

00:20:40.360 --> 00:20:42.259
 That was to be yours

00:20:42.259 --> 00:20:43.140
 Searched

00:20:43.140 --> 00:20:44.460
 And inquired carefully

00:20:44.460 --> 00:20:46.460
 Inquiring what person

00:20:46.460 --> 00:20:47.079
 Or time

00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:48.319
 The spirit of Christ

00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:49.900
 In them was indicating

00:20:49.900 --> 00:20:51.240
 When he predicted

00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:52.779
 The sufferings of Christ

00:20:52.779 --> 00:20:54.740
 And the subsequent glories

00:20:54.740 --> 00:20:57.000
 It was revealed to them

00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:58.240
 That they were serving

00:20:58.240 --> 00:20:59.339
 Not themselves

00:20:59.339 --> 00:21:00.220
 But you

00:21:00.220 --> 00:21:01.380
 In the things

00:21:01.380 --> 00:21:03.019
 That have now been

00:21:03.019 --> 00:21:03.980
 Announced to you

00:21:03.980 --> 00:21:04.680
 Through those

00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:05.859
 Who preach the good news

00:21:05.859 --> 00:21:06.440
 To you

00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:07.980
 By the Holy Spirit

00:21:07.980 --> 00:21:09.039
 Sent from heaven

00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:10.120
 Things

00:21:10.120 --> 00:21:11.960
 Into which the angels

00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:13.839
 Long to look

00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:15.480
 Therefore

00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:16.920
 Preparing your minds

00:21:16.920 --> 00:21:17.640
 For action

00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:19.420
 And being sober-minded

00:21:19.420 --> 00:21:21.120
 Set your hope

00:21:21.120 --> 00:21:22.460
 Fully on the grace

00:21:22.460 --> 00:21:23.519
 That will be brought

00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:24.140
 To you

00:21:24.140 --> 00:21:25.440
 At the revelation

00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:26.880
 Of Jesus Christ

00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:29.060
 As obedient children

00:21:29.060 --> 00:21:31.060
 Do not be conformed

00:21:31.060 --> 00:21:31.740
 To the passions

00:21:31.740 --> 00:21:33.400
 Of your former ignorance

00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:34.940
 But as he

00:21:34.940 --> 00:21:36.019
 Who has called you

00:21:36.019 --> 00:21:36.640
 Is holy

00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:38.560
 You also be holy

00:21:38.560 --> 00:21:39.880
 In all your conduct

00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:41.600
 Since it is written

00:21:41.600 --> 00:21:43.539
 You shall be holy

00:21:43.539 --> 00:21:45.820
 For I am holy

00:21:45.820 --> 00:21:48.180
 And if you call on him

00:21:48.180 --> 00:21:48.940
 As father

00:21:48.940 --> 00:21:50.940
 Who judges impartially

00:21:50.940 --> 00:21:53.160
 According to each one's deeds

00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:54.880
 Conduct yourselves

00:21:54.880 --> 00:21:55.240
 With

00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:57.680
 Conduct yourselves

00:21:57.680 --> 00:21:58.940
 With fear

00:21:58.940 --> 00:21:59.880
 Throughout the time

00:21:59.880 --> 00:22:00.740
 Of your exile

00:22:00.740 --> 00:22:02.059
 Knowing that you

00:22:02.059 --> 00:22:02.759
 Were ransomed

00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:04.299
 From the futile ways

00:22:04.299 --> 00:22:06.600
 Inherited from your forefathers

00:22:06.600 --> 00:22:08.799
 Not with perishable things

00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:10.519
 Such as silver or gold

00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:13.059
 But with the precious blood

00:22:13.059 --> 00:22:13.860
 Of Christ

00:22:13.860 --> 00:22:15.759
 Like that of a lamb

00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:17.480
 Without blemish

00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:18.480
 Or spot

00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:19.019
 Or spot

00:22:19.019 --> 00:22:21.460
 He was foreknown

00:22:21.460 --> 00:22:23.140
 Before the foundation

00:22:23.140 --> 00:22:23.960
 Of the world

00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:25.819
 But was made manifest

00:22:25.819 --> 00:22:27.160
 In the last times

00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:28.259
 For your sake

00:22:28.259 --> 00:22:30.240
 Who through him

00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:32.120
 Are believers in God

00:22:32.120 --> 00:22:34.000
 Who raised him from the dead

00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:35.059
 And gave him glory

00:22:35.059 --> 00:22:36.640
 So that your faith

00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:37.339
 And hope

00:22:37.339 --> 00:22:38.799
 Are in God

00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:41.000
 Having purified your souls

00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:42.140
 By your obedience

00:22:42.140 --> 00:22:43.039
 To the truth

00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:44.379
 For a sincere

00:22:44.379 --> 00:22:45.460
 Brotherly love

00:22:45.460 --> 00:22:47.000
 Love one another

00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:47.680
 Earnestly

00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:48.940
 With a pure heart

00:22:48.940 --> 00:22:50.220
 Since you have been

00:22:50.220 --> 00:22:50.960
 Born again

00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:52.519
 Not of perishable seed

00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:54.559
 But of imperishable

00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:55.980
 Through the living

00:22:55.980 --> 00:22:56.980
 And abiding

00:22:56.980 --> 00:22:58.159
 Word of God

00:22:58.159 --> 00:22:59.859
 For all flesh

00:22:59.859 --> 00:23:00.799
 Is like grass

00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:02.460
 And all its glory

00:23:02.460 --> 00:23:03.339
 Like the flower

00:23:03.339 --> 00:23:04.039
 Of grass

00:23:04.039 --> 00:23:05.839
 The grass withers

00:23:05.839 --> 00:23:07.180
 And the flower falls

00:23:07.180 --> 00:23:08.500
 But the word

00:23:08.500 --> 00:23:09.360
 Of the Lord

00:23:09.360 --> 00:23:10.299
 Remains

00:23:10.299 --> 00:23:11.140
 Forever

00:23:11.140 --> 00:23:13.080
 And this word

00:23:13.080 --> 00:23:14.200
 Is the good news

00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:15.700
 That was preached

00:23:15.700 --> 00:23:16.880
 To you

00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:18.060
 Amen

00:23:18.060 --> 00:23:18.720
 And we pray

00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:19.660
 God's blessing

00:23:19.660 --> 00:23:20.640
 On that portion

00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:21.840
 Of his own

00:23:21.840 --> 00:23:23.620
 Holy word

00:23:23.620 --> 00:23:25.799
 Friends

00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:26.340
 We're going to

00:23:26.340 --> 00:23:27.400
 Sing once more

00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:28.640
 To the praise of God

00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:29.860
 This time from

00:23:29.860 --> 00:23:30.960
 Psalm 51

00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:33.240
 And sing Psalms

00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:44.380
 That's on page 67

00:23:44.380 --> 00:23:46.920
 Psalm 51

00:23:46.920 --> 00:23:47.980
 Reading at the beginning

00:23:47.980 --> 00:23:48.680
 Of the psalm

00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:49.559
 Oh my God

00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:50.839
 Have mercy on me

00:23:50.839 --> 00:23:53.000
 In your steadfast love

00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:53.680
 I pray

00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:55.980
 In your infinite compassion

00:23:55.980 --> 00:23:57.420
 My transgressions

00:23:57.420 --> 00:23:58.259
 Wipe away

00:23:58.259 --> 00:23:59.680
 Cleanse me

00:23:59.680 --> 00:24:00.660
 From iniquity

00:24:00.660 --> 00:24:02.500
 Wash my sin

00:24:02.500 --> 00:24:03.759
 Away from me

00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:05.079
 For I know

00:24:05.079 --> 00:24:06.880
 My own transgressions

00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:08.420
 I can see

00:24:08.420 --> 00:24:11.200
 My sinful plight

00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:11.799
 We'll sing down

00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:12.799
 To the end of the verse

00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:13.819
 Marked 12

00:24:13.819 --> 00:24:15.579
 To the tune Ottawa

00:24:15.579 --> 00:24:17.200
 Standing to sing

00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:18.619
 Oh my God

00:24:18.619 --> 00:24:20.660
 Have mercy on me

00:24:20.660 --> 00:24:27.220
 Oh my God

00:24:27.220 --> 00:24:31.019
 Have mercy on me

00:24:31.019 --> 00:24:34.279
 In your steadfast love

00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:36.279
 I pray

00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:44.119
 In your infinite compassion

00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:47.480
 My transgressions

00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:50.279
 Wipe away

00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:59.279
 Cleanse me from iniquity

00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:02.539
 Wash my sin

00:25:02.539 --> 00:25:03.660
 Wash my sin away

00:25:03.660 --> 00:25:06.539
 From me

00:25:06.539 --> 00:25:10.940
 For I know

00:25:10.940 --> 00:25:14.940
 My own transgressions

00:25:14.940 --> 00:25:21.660
 I can see my sinful fight

00:25:21.660 --> 00:25:27.940
 You, you, only I've offended

00:25:27.940 --> 00:25:31.200
 And done evil

00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:33.200
 In your sight

00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:34.200
 And done evil

00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:35.380
 In your sight

00:25:35.380 --> 00:25:38.200
 So your words

00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:40.200
 Are verified

00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:42.200
 And your verdict

00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:44.200
 Justified

00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:46.200
 And your verdict

00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:48.200
 Justified

00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:55.640
 From my birth

00:25:55.640 --> 00:25:58.460
 I have been sinful

00:25:58.460 --> 00:26:01.460
 Such a nature

00:26:01.460 --> 00:26:04.460
 I receive

00:26:04.460 --> 00:26:07.460
 Sinful

00:26:07.460 --> 00:26:12.580
 From my first beginning

00:26:12.579 --> 00:26:16.839
 In my mother's womb

00:26:16.839 --> 00:26:16.899
 In my mother's womb

00:26:16.899 --> 00:26:20.019
 Conceived

00:26:20.019 --> 00:26:24.839
 Truth you look for

00:26:24.839 --> 00:26:28.960
 In my heart

00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:31.839
 Wisdom to me

00:26:31.839 --> 00:26:33.839
 You impart

00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:36.099
 In my heart

00:26:36.099 --> 00:26:40.159
 Cleanse with this

00:26:40.159 --> 00:26:43.939
 Of purifying me

00:26:43.939 --> 00:26:46.220
 I'll be whiter

00:26:46.220 --> 00:26:50.099
 Than the snow

00:26:50.099 --> 00:26:53.359
 Let the hope

00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:55.159
 You crush

00:26:55.159 --> 00:26:57.359
 Be joyful

00:26:57.359 --> 00:26:59.359
 May I joy

00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:01.359
 And gladness

00:27:01.359 --> 00:27:03.359
 Know

00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:08.359
 From my failure

00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:11.359
 I hear

00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:12.359
 Peace

00:27:12.359 --> 00:27:16.419
 Brought out all my

00:27:16.420 --> 00:27:20.860
 Wickedness

00:27:20.860 --> 00:27:22.680
 Lord

00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:26.460
 Create a pure heart

00:27:26.460 --> 00:27:28.279
 In me

00:27:28.279 --> 00:27:32.120
 And a steadfast mind

00:27:32.120 --> 00:27:34.680
 Clean you

00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:39.680
 Do not take your spirit

00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:41.960
 From me

00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:45.060
 Cast me not away

00:27:45.059 --> 00:27:48.539
 From you

00:27:48.539 --> 00:27:51.319
 Give me

00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:54.759
 The joy

00:27:54.759 --> 00:27:57.539
 I have

00:27:57.539 --> 00:27:59.039
 Keep my

00:27:59.039 --> 00:28:00.220
 Willing

00:28:00.220 --> 00:28:01.539
 Spirit

00:28:01.539 --> 00:28:04.879
 Act

00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:17.720
 For a short time

00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:18.020
 Friends

00:28:18.020 --> 00:28:18.900
 Let's turn back

00:28:18.900 --> 00:28:20.000
 To the chapter

00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:20.840
 We read together

00:28:20.840 --> 00:28:21.640
 1 Peter

00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:22.620
 Chapter 1

00:28:22.620 --> 00:28:28.720
 We can read

00:28:28.720 --> 00:28:30.220
 Verses 18

00:28:30.220 --> 00:28:31.620
 And 19

00:28:31.619 --> 00:28:37.299
 We'll read

00:28:37.299 --> 00:28:38.239
 From verse 17

00:28:38.239 --> 00:28:39.819
 And if you call

00:28:39.819 --> 00:28:40.899
 On him as father

00:28:40.899 --> 00:28:41.519
 Who judges

00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:42.339
 Impartially

00:28:42.339 --> 00:28:43.199
 According to

00:28:43.199 --> 00:28:44.059
 Each one's

00:28:44.059 --> 00:28:44.479
 Deeds

00:28:44.479 --> 00:28:46.419
 Conduct yourselves

00:28:46.419 --> 00:28:47.659
 With fear

00:28:47.659 --> 00:28:48.779
 Throughout the time

00:28:48.779 --> 00:28:49.959
 Of your exile

00:28:49.959 --> 00:28:51.699
 Knowing that you

00:28:51.699 --> 00:28:52.539
 Were ransomed

00:28:52.539 --> 00:28:53.659
 From the futile

00:28:53.659 --> 00:28:54.279
 Ways

00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:55.199
 Inherited from

00:28:55.199 --> 00:28:56.159
 Your forefathers

00:28:56.159 --> 00:28:57.479
 Not with

00:28:57.479 --> 00:28:58.619
 Perishable things

00:28:58.619 --> 00:28:59.199
 Such as

00:28:59.199 --> 00:28:59.799
 Silver

00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:01.079
 Or gold

00:29:01.079 --> 00:29:02.240
 But with the

00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:03.680
 Precious blood

00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:05.019
 Of Christ

00:29:05.019 --> 00:29:06.399
 Like that of

00:29:06.399 --> 00:29:07.000
 A lamb

00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:08.779
 Without blemish

00:29:08.779 --> 00:29:10.379
 Or without

00:29:10.379 --> 00:29:11.379
 Spot

00:29:11.379 --> 00:29:12.619
 Especially those

00:29:12.619 --> 00:29:13.879
 Four

00:29:13.879 --> 00:29:15.720
 Five words

00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:16.759
 The precious

00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:17.279
 Blood

00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:19.759
 Of Christ

00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:20.720
 The precious

00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:21.279
 Blood

00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:23.279
 Of

00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:24.419
 Christ

00:29:24.420 --> 00:29:27.400
 I wonder

00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:27.800
 Friends

00:29:27.800 --> 00:29:28.380
 This evening

00:29:28.380 --> 00:29:29.840
 Do you have

00:29:29.840 --> 00:29:32.039
 Any phobias

00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:33.920
 Might seem like

00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:34.420
 A strange

00:29:34.420 --> 00:29:35.560
 Question to ask

00:29:35.560 --> 00:29:36.100
 At the beginning

00:29:36.100 --> 00:29:36.940
 Of a sermon

00:29:36.940 --> 00:29:38.840
 Are there any

00:29:38.840 --> 00:29:40.080
 Things in life

00:29:40.080 --> 00:29:40.539
 That you're

00:29:40.539 --> 00:29:41.279
 Particularly

00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:42.580
 Scared of

00:29:42.580 --> 00:29:43.940
 To the point

00:29:43.940 --> 00:29:44.620
 That you cannot

00:29:44.620 --> 00:29:45.700
 Be near them

00:29:45.700 --> 00:29:46.160
 In any

00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:46.880
 Way

00:29:46.880 --> 00:29:47.420
 Shape

00:29:47.420 --> 00:29:48.100
 Or form

00:29:48.100 --> 00:29:49.039
 There are of course

00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:50.759
 Many different

00:29:50.759 --> 00:29:52.160
 Phobias

00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:53.759
 Claustrophobia

00:29:53.759 --> 00:29:54.300
 Of course

00:29:54.300 --> 00:29:54.880
 Is that

00:29:54.880 --> 00:29:55.519
 Fear

00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:57.019
 Of confined

00:29:57.019 --> 00:29:57.980
 Spaces

00:29:57.980 --> 00:29:58.960
 So that when

00:29:58.960 --> 00:29:59.680
 You find yourself

00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:00.420
 In a confined

00:30:00.420 --> 00:30:01.080
 Space

00:30:01.080 --> 00:30:02.220
 You have to

00:30:02.220 --> 00:30:02.820
 Get out

00:30:02.820 --> 00:30:04.880
 Aerophobia

00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:06.320
 Is a fear

00:30:06.320 --> 00:30:08.380
 Of flying

00:30:08.380 --> 00:30:10.160
 Arachnophobia

00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:11.200
 Is a fear

00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:12.640
 Of spiders

00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:13.200
 The list

00:30:13.200 --> 00:30:13.980
 Goes on

00:30:13.980 --> 00:30:15.000
 And on

00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:15.680
 And on

00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:16.060
 There's a

00:30:16.060 --> 00:30:16.500
 Phobia

00:30:16.500 --> 00:30:17.279
 For nearly

00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:17.880
 Everything

00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:18.660
 In this

00:30:18.660 --> 00:30:19.120
 World

00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:21.000
 But perhaps

00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:21.479
 One of the

00:30:21.479 --> 00:30:22.399
 Most common

00:30:22.399 --> 00:30:23.259
 Phobias

00:30:23.259 --> 00:30:24.399
 Is

00:30:24.399 --> 00:30:25.699
 Hemophobia

00:30:25.699 --> 00:30:27.699
 Hemophobia

00:30:27.699 --> 00:30:28.399
 What is

00:30:28.399 --> 00:30:29.559
 Hemophobia

00:30:29.559 --> 00:30:30.559
 Well hemophobia

00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:31.719
 Is a

00:30:31.719 --> 00:30:32.219
 Phobia

00:30:32.219 --> 00:30:34.000
 Of blood

00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:35.579
 There are

00:30:35.579 --> 00:30:36.000
 Countless

00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:36.379
 People

00:30:36.379 --> 00:30:36.859
 No doubt

00:30:36.859 --> 00:30:37.599
 Some of you

00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:38.399
 Here tonight

00:30:38.399 --> 00:30:39.139
 Who simply

00:30:39.139 --> 00:30:40.399
 Cannot stand

00:30:40.399 --> 00:30:41.459
 The sight

00:30:41.459 --> 00:30:42.000
 Of blood

00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:42.500
 And in

00:30:42.500 --> 00:30:43.259
 Seeing blood

00:30:43.259 --> 00:30:44.279
 They might

00:30:44.279 --> 00:30:44.699
 Faint

00:30:44.699 --> 00:30:45.139
 They might

00:30:45.139 --> 00:30:46.219
 Pass out

00:30:46.219 --> 00:30:48.179
 Yet what's

00:30:48.179 --> 00:30:48.959
 Interesting about

00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:49.819
 Hemophobia

00:30:49.819 --> 00:30:50.279
 More than

00:30:50.279 --> 00:30:51.340
 Any other

00:30:51.340 --> 00:30:51.880
 Phobia

00:30:51.880 --> 00:30:52.539
 Is the

00:30:52.539 --> 00:30:53.360
 Irony

00:30:53.360 --> 00:30:54.079
 That's

00:30:54.079 --> 00:30:54.600
 Attached

00:30:54.600 --> 00:30:55.140
 To it

00:30:55.140 --> 00:30:56.880
 Because

00:30:56.880 --> 00:30:58.539
 In being

00:30:58.539 --> 00:30:59.299
 Scared of

00:30:59.299 --> 00:30:59.759
 Blood

00:30:59.759 --> 00:31:01.140
 You're being

00:31:01.140 --> 00:31:01.940
 Scared of

00:31:01.940 --> 00:31:02.579
 The one

00:31:02.579 --> 00:31:03.319
 Thing

00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:04.299
 That we

00:31:04.299 --> 00:31:04.960
 Need

00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:06.160
 To be

00:31:06.160 --> 00:31:06.880
 Alive

00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:08.200
 Blood

00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:08.700
 Is of

00:31:08.700 --> 00:31:08.900
 Course

00:31:08.900 --> 00:31:09.420
 The most

00:31:09.420 --> 00:31:10.160
 Important

00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:11.259
 Thing

00:31:11.259 --> 00:31:11.600
 If you

00:31:11.600 --> 00:31:11.940
 Like

00:31:11.940 --> 00:31:12.340
 In

00:31:12.340 --> 00:31:13.120
 Your

00:31:13.120 --> 00:31:13.519
 Body

00:31:13.519 --> 00:31:13.720
 Or

00:31:13.720 --> 00:31:14.000
 Mine

00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:14.700
 It's

00:31:14.700 --> 00:31:15.180
 Blood

00:31:15.180 --> 00:31:16.200
 Circulating

00:31:16.200 --> 00:31:16.620
 Around

00:31:16.620 --> 00:31:16.900
 Our

00:31:16.900 --> 00:31:17.279
 Bodies

00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:17.819
 As we

00:31:17.819 --> 00:31:18.160
 Sit

00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:18.460
 Here

00:31:18.460 --> 00:31:18.940
 In this

00:31:18.940 --> 00:31:19.259
 Church

00:31:19.259 --> 00:31:19.740
 Tonight

00:31:19.740 --> 00:31:20.400
 That is

00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:20.840
 Keeping

00:31:20.840 --> 00:31:21.600
 Us

00:31:21.600 --> 00:31:22.440
 Alive

00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:22.740
 When the

00:31:22.740 --> 00:31:22.960
 Blood

00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:23.380
 Fails

00:31:23.380 --> 00:31:23.819
 To do

00:31:23.819 --> 00:31:24.120
 So

00:31:24.120 --> 00:31:24.460
 When it

00:31:24.460 --> 00:31:25.079
 Doesn't

00:31:25.079 --> 00:31:25.440
 Reach

00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:26.000
 Various

00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:26.740
 Cells

00:31:26.740 --> 00:31:27.840
 And members

00:31:27.840 --> 00:31:28.200
 Of the

00:31:28.200 --> 00:31:28.500
 Body

00:31:28.500 --> 00:31:28.779
 What

00:31:28.779 --> 00:31:29.440
 Happens

00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:30.440
 Will

00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:30.720
 Those

00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:31.140
 Cells

00:31:31.140 --> 00:31:31.779
 Die

00:31:31.779 --> 00:31:33.220
 For example

00:31:33.220 --> 00:31:33.620
 We know

00:31:33.620 --> 00:31:33.980
 That at

00:31:33.980 --> 00:31:34.259
 Times

00:31:34.259 --> 00:31:34.579
 People

00:31:34.579 --> 00:31:35.059
 Might need

00:31:35.059 --> 00:31:35.440
 To have

00:31:35.440 --> 00:31:36.140
 One of

00:31:36.140 --> 00:31:36.279
 Their

00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:36.819
 Limbs

00:31:36.819 --> 00:31:37.680
 Amputated

00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:38.019
 When the

00:31:38.019 --> 00:31:38.660
 Blood

00:31:38.660 --> 00:31:39.160
 Stops

00:31:39.160 --> 00:31:39.740
 Flowing

00:31:39.740 --> 00:31:40.200
 To

00:31:40.200 --> 00:31:40.740
 That

00:31:40.740 --> 00:31:41.460
 Particular

00:31:41.460 --> 00:31:42.420
 Limb

00:31:42.420 --> 00:31:43.500
 Or

00:31:43.500 --> 00:31:43.800
 More

00:31:43.800 --> 00:31:44.360
 Commonly

00:31:44.360 --> 00:31:44.660
 When the

00:31:44.660 --> 00:31:45.000
 Blood

00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:45.480
 To

00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:45.720
 Our

00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:46.160
 Hearts

00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:46.380
 Is

00:31:46.380 --> 00:31:47.120
 Somehow

00:31:47.120 --> 00:31:48.300
 Obstructed

00:31:48.300 --> 00:31:48.519
 Or

00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:49.380
 Blocked

00:31:49.380 --> 00:31:49.560
 We

00:31:49.560 --> 00:31:50.160
 We

00:31:50.160 --> 00:31:50.320
 Can

00:31:50.320 --> 00:31:50.440
 Have

00:31:50.440 --> 00:31:50.580
 A

00:31:50.580 --> 00:31:50.880
 Heart

00:31:50.880 --> 00:31:51.240
 Attack

00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:51.400
 And

00:31:51.400 --> 00:31:51.539
 We

00:31:51.539 --> 00:31:51.900
 Can

00:31:51.900 --> 00:31:52.600
 Even

00:31:52.600 --> 00:31:53.180
 Sadly

00:31:53.180 --> 00:31:54.120
 Die

00:31:54.120 --> 00:31:54.500
 Why

00:31:54.500 --> 00:31:54.800
 Is

00:31:54.800 --> 00:31:55.200
 That

00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:55.640
 Death

00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:56.720
 Well

00:31:56.720 --> 00:31:56.960
 Quite

00:31:56.960 --> 00:31:57.420
 Simply

00:31:57.420 --> 00:31:57.860
 Friends

00:31:57.860 --> 00:31:58.279
 Because

00:31:58.279 --> 00:31:58.779
 Without

00:31:58.779 --> 00:31:59.640
 Blood

00:31:59.640 --> 00:32:01.380
 There

00:32:01.380 --> 00:32:01.559
 Is

00:32:01.559 --> 00:32:02.140
 Death

00:32:02.140 --> 00:32:03.980
 And

00:32:03.980 --> 00:32:04.120
 So

00:32:04.120 --> 00:32:04.360
 That

00:32:04.360 --> 00:32:04.759
 Very

00:32:04.759 --> 00:32:05.140
 Thing

00:32:05.140 --> 00:32:05.319
 That

00:32:05.319 --> 00:32:05.480
 We

00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:05.640
 Can

00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:05.960
 Perhaps

00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:06.180
 Be

00:32:06.180 --> 00:32:06.819
 Scared

00:32:06.819 --> 00:32:07.100
 Of

00:32:07.100 --> 00:32:07.279
 Or

00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:07.980
 Cause

00:32:07.980 --> 00:32:08.160
 Us

00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:08.299
 To

00:32:08.299 --> 00:32:08.460
 Be

00:32:08.460 --> 00:32:09.380
 Squeamish

00:32:09.380 --> 00:32:10.039
 Is

00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:10.200
 The

00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:10.460
 Very

00:32:10.460 --> 00:32:11.039
 Thing

00:32:11.039 --> 00:32:11.319
 That

00:32:11.319 --> 00:32:11.480
 We

00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:11.960
 All

00:32:11.960 --> 00:32:12.920
 Need

00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:14.120
 To

00:32:14.120 --> 00:32:14.500
 Live

00:32:14.500 --> 00:32:16.500
 Last

00:32:16.500 --> 00:32:16.740
 Night

00:32:16.740 --> 00:32:16.920
 We

00:32:16.920 --> 00:32:17.519
 Considered

00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:17.720
 Why

00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:17.940
 We're

00:32:17.940 --> 00:32:18.299
 Here

00:32:18.299 --> 00:32:19.340
 We're

00:32:19.340 --> 00:32:19.500
 Here

00:32:19.500 --> 00:32:19.700
 Of

00:32:19.700 --> 00:32:19.940
 Course

00:32:19.940 --> 00:32:20.120
 As

00:32:20.120 --> 00:32:20.240
 We

00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:20.559
 Saw

00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:20.779
 In

00:32:20.779 --> 00:32:22.080
 Peter's

00:32:22.080 --> 00:32:22.640
 Encounter

00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:22.940
 With

00:32:22.940 --> 00:32:23.460
 Satan

00:32:23.460 --> 00:32:23.779
 We

00:32:23.779 --> 00:32:23.940
 Are

00:32:23.940 --> 00:32:24.259
 Here

00:32:24.259 --> 00:32:24.759
 Because

00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:25.000
 We

00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:25.339
 Are

00:32:25.339 --> 00:32:26.259
 In

00:32:26.259 --> 00:32:27.400
 Christ

00:32:27.400 --> 00:32:27.660
 Our

00:32:27.660 --> 00:32:28.079
 Security

00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:28.619
 Is

00:32:28.619 --> 00:32:29.379
 Not

00:32:29.379 --> 00:32:29.980
 In

00:32:29.980 --> 00:32:30.859
 Ourselves

00:32:30.859 --> 00:32:31.160
 In

00:32:31.160 --> 00:32:31.379
 Our

00:32:31.379 --> 00:32:31.859
 Own

 Confidence

00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:34.240

00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:34.359
 You

00:32:34.359 --> 00:32:34.680
 Like

00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:34.879
 But

00:32:34.879 --> 00:32:35.039
 Our

00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:35.619
 Security

00:32:35.619 --> 00:32:36.319
 Is

00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:36.519
 In

00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:37.140
 His

00:32:37.140 --> 00:32:38.420
 Commitment

00:32:38.420 --> 00:32:39.220
 To

00:32:39.220 --> 00:32:39.680
 Us

00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:40.660
 And

 Going

00:32:41.539 --> 00:32:41.660
 To

00:32:41.660 --> 00:32:41.960
 Think

00:32:41.960 --> 00:32:42.379
 About

00:32:42.379 --> 00:32:42.980
 The

00:32:42.980 --> 00:32:43.460
 How

00:32:43.460 --> 00:32:44.619
 How

00:32:44.619 --> 00:32:44.940
 Has

00:32:44.940 --> 00:32:45.079
 It

00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:45.220
 Been

00:32:45.220 --> 00:32:45.460
 Made

00:32:45.460 --> 00:32:46.039
 Possible

00:32:46.039 --> 00:32:46.720
 For

00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:47.339
 Tonight

00:32:47.339 --> 00:32:47.819
 Your

00:32:47.819 --> 00:32:48.579
 Confidence

00:32:48.579 --> 00:32:48.819
 And

00:32:48.819 --> 00:32:49.119
 My

00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:49.920
 Confidence

00:32:49.920 --> 00:32:50.460
 To

00:32:50.460 --> 00:32:50.900
 Be

00:32:50.900 --> 00:32:51.700
 In

00:32:51.700 --> 00:32:52.500
 Christ

00:32:52.500 --> 00:32:52.720
 For

00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:52.920
 Us

00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:53.099
 To

00:32:53.099 --> 00:32:53.359
 Have

00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:53.700
 Such

00:32:53.700 --> 00:32:53.920
 A

00:32:53.920 --> 00:32:54.240
 An

00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:55.480
 Unshakeable

00:32:55.480 --> 00:32:56.720
 Security

00:32:56.720 --> 00:32:57.740
 In

00:32:57.740 --> 00:32:58.720
 Him

00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:00.299
 The

00:33:00.299 --> 00:33:00.839
 Answer

00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:03.299
 Blood

00:33:03.299 --> 00:33:04.920
 And

00:33:04.920 --> 00:33:05.839
 Specifically

00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:07.000
 The

00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:07.859
 Precious

00:33:07.859 --> 00:33:08.960
 Blood

00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:09.859
 Of

00:33:09.859 --> 00:33:10.359
 Christ

00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:10.920
 That

00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:11.700
 Which

00:33:11.700 --> 00:33:11.920
 We

00:33:11.920 --> 00:33:12.420
 Need

00:33:12.420 --> 00:33:13.200
 To

00:33:13.200 --> 00:33:13.539
 Live

00:33:13.539 --> 00:33:13.839
 Not

00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:14.140
 Only

00:33:14.140 --> 00:33:14.839
 Physically

00:33:14.839 --> 00:33:15.900
 But

00:33:15.900 --> 00:33:16.099
 More

00:33:16.099 --> 00:33:17.099
 Importantly

00:33:17.099 --> 00:33:19.019
 Spiritually

00:33:19.019 --> 00:33:21.619
 Now

00:33:21.619 --> 00:33:22.559
 It's

00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:22.779
 True

00:33:22.779 --> 00:33:23.700
 It's

00:33:23.700 --> 00:33:24.980
 True I

00:33:24.980 --> 00:33:25.119
 Would

00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:25.639
 Say that

00:33:25.639 --> 00:33:25.900
 There are

00:33:25.900 --> 00:33:42.500
 Many parts of the Bible that for many of us not all but for many of us here tonight we've been brought up knowing we hear certain phrases and we just take them for granted we don't really think too much about them we don't look into them and and perhaps delve into exactly what they mean

00:33:42.500 --> 00:34:12.239
 What they mean i wonder tonight does the precious blood of christ come into that we hear about the blood being spilled we hear of the importance of the blood for our to cover our sins but what exactly does that mean well that's what we're going to think about for a time tonight but before we consider the blood just a little bit by way of context here we are in first Peter

00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:42.219
 Now bear in mind the words that are penned here in this epistle that we have before us are the words of the very same man that we considered last evening the one who had denied the lord three times yes peter he had many faults he had many failings he was brash he was bold he was impulsive at times but but nonetheless what did the lord choose

00:34:42.219 --> 00:35:03.219
 To do with him did he write him to do with him did he write him to do with him did he write him off did he cast him to one side no he didn't he chose to use him how by strengthening his brethren by strengthening his brethren and that's what he went on to do he went on to strengthen his brethren

00:35:03.219 --> 00:35:24.939
 Peter was in many ways the spokesman for the twelve disciples the one who would voice certain opinions on behalf of the group at certain times and we see this in the book of acts in particular where we see peter being described as a rock the one in that position of leadership and authority

00:35:24.940 --> 00:35:39.360
 In acts 1 15 we see that peter sets that ball rolling if you like when it comes to getting a replacement for judas he's the one who's proactive in ensuring that happens

00:35:39.360 --> 00:35:45.880
 on the day of peter's делать it's starts BOB on the exodus on the day of peter and acts 2 peter wpft peter he stands up in order to to affirm overwhelmingly

00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:47.640
 to assumption of the spirituality

00:35:47.640 --> 00:35:48.420
 of the purity of the people

00:35:48.420 --> 00:35:57.000
 There was a reason for this the spirit of the lord at that time working mighty

00:35:57.000 --> 00:36:02.460
 amongst the people so much so that you will remember they were accused of being

00:36:03.220 --> 00:36:04.220
 drunk

00:36:04.219 --> 00:36:13.419
 an accusation which Peter stands up and refutes as he he did in in many areas and in front of

00:36:13.419 --> 00:36:22.239
 the masses of people time and time again Peter went on to do what the Lord said he would do

00:36:22.239 --> 00:36:30.699
 by strengthening his brethren not least by writing the epistle that we have before us here tonight

00:36:30.699 --> 00:36:37.980
 now it's thought that this epistle was written around about AD 64 65 sometimes with epistles and

00:36:37.980 --> 00:36:46.480
 letters the exact dates are debated but round about that time and this was a an extremely significant

00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:55.199
 time in the history of the Roman Empire in July of AD 64 the city of Rome it was completely

00:36:55.199 --> 00:37:03.919
 annihilated by fire it was destroyed and and it's thought the city was set alight on purpose

00:37:03.919 --> 00:37:13.539
 who was it set on a light by well the emperor himself Nero and so we might ask well why would

00:37:13.539 --> 00:37:20.159
 the emperor want to to set a light to to his own city why would he want to burn it down

00:37:20.159 --> 00:37:27.019
 well the reason he wanted to burn it down was that he wanted to to build it bigger and better than

00:37:27.019 --> 00:37:37.019
 before now naturally the people of Rome they were devastated by this they lost absolutely everything

00:37:37.019 --> 00:37:46.179
 their homes and in some cases their lives and what happened following this well resentment set in amongst

00:37:46.179 --> 00:37:54.319
 the people that they're outraged that Nero could have done such a thing and as often happens when when

00:37:54.319 --> 00:38:03.339
 the spotlight comes upon leaders in any kind of negative way what do they do they deflect they take the

00:38:03.339 --> 00:38:10.639
 spotlight from themselves they move it to someone or to something else to take the heat off them and

00:38:10.639 --> 00:38:18.639
 that's what Nero does he removes the spotlight from himself and who does he place it on the young

00:38:18.639 --> 00:38:31.139
 Christian church of Rome and because of this persecution sets in the people gather momentum if you like in

00:38:31.139 --> 00:38:36.879
 their persecution of the Lord's people you know what it's like when when people get carried away when

00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:42.920
 people begin to whisper and and people get ideas in their head that aren't necessarily based on fact

00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:53.420
 but still uh they they go with it that's what we see happening here in Rome and so that's why Peter's writing

00:38:53.420 --> 00:39:03.559
 this letter he's writing this letter to the persecuted church he's writing this letter to Christians

00:39:03.559 --> 00:39:09.019
 just like you and just like me well we're not in the persecuted church but nonetheless

00:39:09.019 --> 00:39:12.219
 Christians who need to be

00:39:12.219 --> 00:39:22.699
 encouraged to strengthen the brethren to help them to try at least to to keep positive in such dark days to to to not

00:39:22.699 --> 00:39:32.380
 become bitter in their faith or to lose hope to always remember to trust in the person and in the work of the

00:39:32.380 --> 00:39:36.400
 Lord Jesus Christ now that wouldn't have been easy for them it's not easy for any of us when we have

00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:44.340
 difficult providences just to to to to let go of those if you like and and to somehow always feel

00:39:44.340 --> 00:39:51.240
 strong in the Lord it's hard and so that's why we continually need those reminders just to help us just to

00:39:51.240 --> 00:40:00.800
 to encourage us as we negotiate our way through this world and we're better friends to start in this first chapter

00:40:00.800 --> 00:40:09.480
 and to make direct reference to the precious blood of Christ

00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:12.800
 the precious blood of Christ

00:40:12.800 --> 00:40:15.980
 now the Bible it's it's full of blood

00:40:15.980 --> 00:40:22.640
 there are around 450 references to blood throughout the pages of scripture

00:40:22.640 --> 00:40:24.240
 blood is central

00:40:24.239 --> 00:40:28.419
 to the whole narrative of redemption

00:40:28.419 --> 00:40:34.379
 but you know the the very God who's it's amazing how God works things

00:40:34.379 --> 00:40:40.439
 just so wonderfully together there's always a temptation that we divorce God from certain

00:40:40.439 --> 00:40:47.099
 things and we forget that it's it's God who's created all things it's God who created blood to work in

00:40:47.099 --> 00:40:53.639
 such a miraculous way in our bodies it's it's him that's the author of it all he's a creator he's a designer

00:40:53.639 --> 00:41:06.360
 and so in using blood in the at the center of the narrative of redemption he knew exactly what he was doing this this

00:41:06.360 --> 00:41:13.460
 crimson thread if you like that that runs right the way from Genesis to Revelation

00:41:13.460 --> 00:41:16.740
 but why blood

00:41:16.740 --> 00:41:21.059
 well I hardly need to remind you that

00:41:21.059 --> 00:41:23.579
 we have Genesis 1

00:41:23.579 --> 00:41:28.800
 and what do we see in Genesis 1 2 3 we

00:41:28.800 --> 00:41:32.480
 we see things not quite as they ought

00:41:32.480 --> 00:41:33.760
 to have been

00:41:33.760 --> 00:41:36.440
 we see do we not

00:41:36.440 --> 00:41:39.840
 that disobedience of Adam

00:41:39.840 --> 00:41:47.539
 that disobedience of Adam that plummeted mankind you and me with you into sin

00:41:47.539 --> 00:41:48.900
 and into

00:41:48.900 --> 00:41:51.900
 misery and because of this what happened

00:41:51.900 --> 00:41:52.740
 consequently

00:41:52.740 --> 00:41:55.579
 communion between the creator God

00:41:55.579 --> 00:41:57.639
 and his created beings

00:41:57.639 --> 00:41:58.500
 was

00:41:58.500 --> 00:41:59.780
 broken

00:41:59.780 --> 00:42:05.140
 but not only was this this communion between God and man broken

00:42:05.140 --> 00:42:07.060
 but also death

00:42:07.060 --> 00:42:10.200
 came into the world that's why death isn't natural

00:42:10.200 --> 00:42:12.240
 death is ugly

00:42:12.240 --> 00:42:16.220
 it's no way to be celebrated or glamorized

00:42:16.220 --> 00:42:19.200
 it's not the way things were supposed to be

00:42:19.200 --> 00:42:20.580
 we were not

00:42:20.580 --> 00:42:21.640
 created

00:42:21.640 --> 00:42:23.260
 to die

00:42:23.260 --> 00:42:24.200
 it's the last

00:42:24.200 --> 00:42:25.280
 enemy

00:42:25.280 --> 00:42:28.840
 and so we all

00:42:28.840 --> 00:42:30.000
 died

00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:30.840
 in

00:42:30.840 --> 00:42:32.060
 Adam

00:42:32.060 --> 00:42:35.040
 and we're reminded are we not

00:42:35.040 --> 00:42:36.780
 in Romans 5

00:42:36.780 --> 00:42:37.480
 that just

00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:38.519
 as sin

00:42:38.519 --> 00:42:40.320
 came into the world

00:42:40.320 --> 00:42:41.660
 through one man

00:42:41.660 --> 00:42:43.080
 and death

00:42:43.080 --> 00:42:44.400
 through sin

00:42:44.400 --> 00:42:46.740
 and so death spread

00:42:46.740 --> 00:42:48.300
 to all men

00:42:48.300 --> 00:42:49.980
 because

00:42:49.980 --> 00:42:51.500
 all

00:42:51.500 --> 00:42:53.120
 sinned

00:42:53.119 --> 00:42:55.759
 we all

00:42:55.759 --> 00:42:56.839
 died

00:42:56.839 --> 00:42:58.299
 in Adam

00:42:58.299 --> 00:42:59.440
 and as Adam

00:42:59.440 --> 00:43:00.980
 took off that fruit

00:43:00.980 --> 00:43:02.059
 what happened was that

00:43:02.059 --> 00:43:03.480
 his very blood

00:43:03.480 --> 00:43:04.440
 itself

00:43:04.440 --> 00:43:05.500
 was contaminated

00:43:05.500 --> 00:43:06.819
 by sin

00:43:06.819 --> 00:43:08.019
 so that the process of

00:43:08.019 --> 00:43:08.819
 of decay

00:43:08.819 --> 00:43:09.940
 in the body

00:43:09.940 --> 00:43:11.400
 it began to take place

00:43:11.400 --> 00:43:12.539
 not only in him

00:43:12.539 --> 00:43:14.219
 but in all of his offspring

00:43:14.219 --> 00:43:15.179
 including you

00:43:15.179 --> 00:43:16.440
 including me

00:43:16.440 --> 00:43:17.599
 and why was this

00:43:17.599 --> 00:43:20.019
 it was because the wages of sin

00:43:20.019 --> 00:43:21.259
 is death

00:43:21.260 --> 00:43:23.480
 physical death

00:43:23.480 --> 00:43:24.000
 yes

00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:26.580
 but spiritual death

00:43:26.580 --> 00:43:28.240
 also

00:43:28.240 --> 00:43:30.260
 spiritual death

00:43:30.260 --> 00:43:32.100
 in a lost

00:43:32.100 --> 00:43:33.400
 eternity

00:43:33.400 --> 00:43:37.800
 but that's not the end of the story

00:43:37.800 --> 00:43:38.360
 is it

00:43:38.360 --> 00:43:41.100
 because the wonder

00:43:41.100 --> 00:43:42.780
 and the marvel of the gospel

00:43:42.780 --> 00:43:44.000
 is that the Lord

00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:45.520
 has not left us

00:43:45.520 --> 00:43:46.480
 to ourselves

00:43:46.480 --> 00:43:49.360
 that's why we're here tonight

00:43:49.360 --> 00:43:49.920
 to not

00:43:49.920 --> 00:43:52.019
 as we once were

00:43:52.019 --> 00:43:55.420
 drinking from the broken cisterns

00:43:55.420 --> 00:43:56.320
 of this world

00:43:56.320 --> 00:43:58.480
 he's not left us

00:43:58.480 --> 00:43:59.559
 to ourselves

00:43:59.559 --> 00:44:00.059
 the world

00:44:00.059 --> 00:44:00.680
 leaves us

00:44:00.680 --> 00:44:01.320
 to ourselves

00:44:01.320 --> 00:44:02.980
 the world doesn't care about us

00:44:02.980 --> 00:44:05.720
 the devil doesn't care about us

00:44:05.720 --> 00:44:07.720
 but the Lord does

00:44:07.720 --> 00:44:09.720
 and because he cares

00:44:09.720 --> 00:44:10.579
 for mankind

00:44:10.579 --> 00:44:12.039
 what has he done

00:44:12.039 --> 00:44:13.680
 he has opened up

00:44:13.680 --> 00:44:14.400
 to us

00:44:14.400 --> 00:44:15.980
 that way of escape

00:44:15.980 --> 00:44:16.840
 that way

00:44:16.840 --> 00:44:18.500
 of forgiveness

00:44:18.500 --> 00:44:18.559
 forgiveness

00:44:18.559 --> 00:44:20.559
 and in order for there to be forgiveness

00:44:20.559 --> 00:44:22.079
 there needs

00:44:22.079 --> 00:44:23.559
 to be blood

00:44:23.559 --> 00:44:25.840
 what do we read in

00:44:25.840 --> 00:44:27.360
 Hebrews 9 22

00:44:27.360 --> 00:44:29.880
 and according to the law

00:44:29.880 --> 00:44:31.539
 almost all things

00:44:31.539 --> 00:44:32.460
 are purified

00:44:32.460 --> 00:44:33.340
 with blood

00:44:33.340 --> 00:44:34.760
 and without

00:44:34.760 --> 00:44:35.820
 the shedding

00:44:35.820 --> 00:44:36.639
 of blood

00:44:36.639 --> 00:44:38.539
 there is

00:44:38.539 --> 00:44:39.159
 no

00:44:39.159 --> 00:44:40.639
 remission

00:44:40.639 --> 00:44:41.679
 of

00:44:41.679 --> 00:44:42.800
 sins

00:44:42.800 --> 00:44:44.559
 and that's why we see so much blood

00:44:44.559 --> 00:44:45.519
 in the Old Testament

00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:47.159
 at times

00:44:47.159 --> 00:44:48.820
 as we read through the pages

00:44:48.820 --> 00:44:49.820
 of the Old Testament

00:44:49.820 --> 00:44:50.639
 we can

00:44:50.639 --> 00:44:51.920
 see that

00:44:51.920 --> 00:44:53.360
 there maybe is

00:44:53.360 --> 00:44:54.579
 too much blood

00:44:54.579 --> 00:44:55.380
 for our liking

00:44:55.380 --> 00:44:56.059
 and we wonder

00:44:56.059 --> 00:44:56.500
 why

00:44:56.500 --> 00:44:57.039
 what's

00:44:57.039 --> 00:44:57.800
 this

00:44:57.800 --> 00:44:58.579
 all

00:44:58.579 --> 00:44:59.579
 about

00:44:59.579 --> 00:45:01.400
 well the clue is found

00:45:01.400 --> 00:45:02.719
 in Leviticus 7

00:45:02.719 --> 00:45:03.460
 11

00:45:03.460 --> 00:45:05.920
 sometimes we look at Leviticus

00:45:05.920 --> 00:45:06.460
 and we think

00:45:06.460 --> 00:45:08.199
 well what relevance does that have

00:45:08.199 --> 00:45:08.960
 to us today

00:45:08.960 --> 00:45:09.219
 it's

00:45:09.219 --> 00:45:09.960
 it's hard

00:45:09.960 --> 00:45:10.780
 and it's heavy

00:45:10.780 --> 00:45:13.120
 but Christ is there

00:45:13.120 --> 00:45:15.700
 for in Leviticus 17

00:45:15.700 --> 00:45:16.280
 11

00:45:16.280 --> 00:45:17.200
 what do we read

00:45:17.200 --> 00:45:18.700
 for the life

00:45:18.700 --> 00:45:20.260
 of the flesh

00:45:20.260 --> 00:45:21.640
 is in

00:45:21.640 --> 00:45:23.100
 the blood

00:45:23.100 --> 00:45:25.019
 a wonderful statement

00:45:25.019 --> 00:45:25.740
 the life

00:45:25.740 --> 00:45:27.000
 of the flesh

00:45:27.000 --> 00:45:28.519
 is in the blood

00:45:28.519 --> 00:45:29.580
 and I have given it

00:45:29.580 --> 00:45:29.980
 to you

00:45:29.980 --> 00:45:31.260
 upon the altar

00:45:31.260 --> 00:45:32.700
 to make atonement

00:45:32.700 --> 00:45:33.680
 for your souls

00:45:33.680 --> 00:45:35.600
 for it is the blood

00:45:35.600 --> 00:45:37.080
 that makes

00:45:37.080 --> 00:45:38.519
 atonement

00:45:38.519 --> 00:45:41.079
 for the soul

00:45:41.079 --> 00:45:42.840
 now the way

00:45:42.840 --> 00:45:44.019
 in which these offerings

00:45:44.019 --> 00:45:44.579
 were to be

00:45:44.579 --> 00:45:45.340
 administrated

00:45:45.340 --> 00:45:46.420
 is outlined

00:45:46.420 --> 00:45:48.500
 in Leviticus 1

00:45:48.500 --> 00:45:50.059
 and verses 2 to 3

00:45:50.059 --> 00:45:51.179
 highlight the fact

00:45:51.179 --> 00:45:52.699
 that the worshipper

00:45:52.699 --> 00:45:53.259
 I'm not going to go

00:45:53.259 --> 00:45:54.300
 into detail about this

00:45:54.300 --> 00:45:55.420
 but just as an overview

00:45:55.420 --> 00:45:56.559
 the worshipper

00:45:56.559 --> 00:45:57.400
 was to bring

00:45:57.400 --> 00:45:58.280
 an offering

00:45:58.280 --> 00:46:00.099
 to the Lord

00:46:00.099 --> 00:46:00.679
 an offering

00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:01.699
 of his own flock

00:46:01.699 --> 00:46:02.179
 or herd

00:46:02.179 --> 00:46:03.360
 that was to be

00:46:03.360 --> 00:46:04.320
 a male

00:46:04.320 --> 00:46:05.800
 without blemish

00:46:05.800 --> 00:46:06.519
 it was to be

00:46:06.519 --> 00:46:07.360
 perfect

00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:08.680
 then what would

00:46:08.680 --> 00:46:09.300
 happen is

00:46:09.300 --> 00:46:10.420
 the offerer

00:46:10.420 --> 00:46:11.720
 was to place

00:46:11.720 --> 00:46:12.880
 his hand

00:46:12.880 --> 00:46:13.880
 on the head

00:46:13.880 --> 00:46:14.660
 of the burnt

00:46:14.660 --> 00:46:15.180
 offering

00:46:15.180 --> 00:46:16.800
 and it would

00:46:16.800 --> 00:46:17.660
 be accepted

00:46:17.660 --> 00:46:19.860
 accepted as what

00:46:19.860 --> 00:46:20.320
 well it would be

00:46:20.320 --> 00:46:21.039
 accepted

00:46:21.039 --> 00:46:22.559
 as a means

00:46:22.559 --> 00:46:23.620
 of atoning

00:46:23.620 --> 00:46:26.120
 for his sins

00:46:26.120 --> 00:46:26.720
 it would

00:46:26.720 --> 00:46:27.480
 it would act

00:46:27.480 --> 00:46:28.880
 as a symbolic

00:46:28.880 --> 00:46:29.620
 and it's important

00:46:29.620 --> 00:46:30.120
 to remember

00:46:30.120 --> 00:46:30.860
 it's symbolic

00:46:30.860 --> 00:46:31.880
 a symbolic

00:46:31.880 --> 00:46:32.840
 transfer

00:46:32.840 --> 00:46:34.460
 of his sin

00:46:34.460 --> 00:46:36.220
 and his

00:46:36.220 --> 00:46:37.079
 guilt

00:46:37.079 --> 00:46:38.559
 so the guilt

00:46:38.559 --> 00:46:39.340
 the sin

00:46:39.340 --> 00:46:40.139
 symbolically

00:46:40.139 --> 00:46:40.880
 was transferred

00:46:40.880 --> 00:46:41.960
 to the animal

00:46:41.960 --> 00:46:43.219
 and then the animal

00:46:43.219 --> 00:46:44.739
 would be killed

00:46:44.739 --> 00:46:45.980
 and as the animal

00:46:45.980 --> 00:46:46.779
 would be killed

00:46:46.779 --> 00:46:48.500
 the blood of the animal

00:46:48.500 --> 00:46:49.980
 would then be sprinkled

00:46:49.980 --> 00:46:51.360
 all around

00:46:51.360 --> 00:46:52.219
 the altar

00:46:52.219 --> 00:46:53.699
 that was by the door

00:46:53.699 --> 00:46:55.039
 of the tabernacle

00:46:55.039 --> 00:46:55.759
 of meeting

00:46:55.759 --> 00:46:56.500
 and we're going to think

00:46:56.500 --> 00:46:57.039
 a bit more

00:46:57.039 --> 00:46:58.239
 about the tabernacle

00:46:58.239 --> 00:46:59.239
 tomorrow

00:46:59.239 --> 00:46:59.940
 God willing

00:46:59.940 --> 00:47:01.400
 now this was

00:47:01.400 --> 00:47:02.360
 of course

00:47:02.360 --> 00:47:04.139
 the Old Testament

00:47:04.139 --> 00:47:07.079
 the Old Covenant

00:47:07.079 --> 00:47:09.420
 and because it was

00:47:09.420 --> 00:47:10.599
 the Old Testament

00:47:10.599 --> 00:47:12.159
 it was the blood

00:47:12.159 --> 00:47:13.480
 of animals

00:47:13.480 --> 00:47:15.159
 and not humans

00:47:15.159 --> 00:47:16.000
 that was shed

00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:17.980
 and because it was

00:47:17.980 --> 00:47:19.000
 the blood of animals

00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:19.960
 and not humans

00:47:19.960 --> 00:47:21.339
 what we see

00:47:21.339 --> 00:47:22.759
 in the Old Testament

00:47:22.759 --> 00:47:24.279
 is but a shadow

00:47:24.279 --> 00:47:26.500
 of what was still

00:47:26.500 --> 00:47:27.339
 to come

00:47:27.339 --> 00:47:28.319
 because the blood

00:47:28.319 --> 00:47:29.079
 of goats

00:47:29.079 --> 00:47:30.239
 or bulls

00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:31.379
 could never ever

00:47:31.380 --> 00:47:32.500
 hope to atone

00:47:32.500 --> 00:47:33.440
 for the sin

00:47:33.440 --> 00:47:34.260
 of mankind

00:47:34.260 --> 00:47:36.280
 ultimately

00:47:36.280 --> 00:47:37.079
 because it was

00:47:37.079 --> 00:47:38.599
 man who sinned

00:47:38.599 --> 00:47:40.039
 it was man

00:47:40.039 --> 00:47:40.980
 who would have

00:47:40.980 --> 00:47:41.579
 to pay

00:47:41.579 --> 00:47:42.619
 the price

00:47:42.619 --> 00:47:43.840
 for sin

00:47:43.840 --> 00:47:45.800
 and that's where

00:47:45.800 --> 00:47:46.740
 we come to the pages

00:47:46.740 --> 00:47:47.740
 of the New Testament

00:47:47.740 --> 00:47:49.640
 because there

00:47:49.640 --> 00:47:50.900
 we meet that man

00:47:50.900 --> 00:47:52.280
 that man

00:47:52.280 --> 00:47:53.240
 that has brought us

00:47:53.240 --> 00:47:53.960
 here tonight

00:47:53.960 --> 00:47:54.519
 together

00:47:54.519 --> 00:47:56.519
 the Lord

00:47:56.519 --> 00:47:57.900
 Jesus

00:47:57.900 --> 00:47:59.340
 Christ

00:47:59.340 --> 00:48:01.360
 1 Corinthians

00:48:01.360 --> 00:48:02.000
 15

00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:02.600
 21

00:48:02.600 --> 00:48:03.400
 for since

00:48:03.400 --> 00:48:04.220
 by man

00:48:04.220 --> 00:48:05.860
 came death

00:48:05.860 --> 00:48:07.059
 by man

00:48:07.059 --> 00:48:08.340
 also came

00:48:08.340 --> 00:48:09.480
 the resurrection

00:48:09.480 --> 00:48:10.539
 of the dead

00:48:10.539 --> 00:48:11.720
 for as

00:48:11.720 --> 00:48:12.780
 as in Adam

00:48:12.780 --> 00:48:14.059
 all die

00:48:14.059 --> 00:48:15.660
 even so

00:48:15.660 --> 00:48:16.620
 in Christ

00:48:16.620 --> 00:48:17.960
 all

00:48:17.960 --> 00:48:18.880
 shall be

00:48:18.880 --> 00:48:19.440
 made

00:48:19.440 --> 00:48:20.660
 alive

00:48:20.660 --> 00:48:21.400
 and so really

00:48:21.400 --> 00:48:21.940
 friends

00:48:21.940 --> 00:48:22.820
 the blood

00:48:22.820 --> 00:48:23.740
 of Christ

00:48:23.740 --> 00:48:24.760
 it's but a

00:48:24.760 --> 00:48:25.180
 synonym

00:48:25.180 --> 00:48:26.940
 of

00:48:26.940 --> 00:48:28.079
 the gospel

00:48:28.079 --> 00:48:29.799
 for the gospel

00:48:29.799 --> 00:48:30.980
 a synonym

00:48:30.980 --> 00:48:33.079
 for salvation

00:48:33.079 --> 00:48:34.380
 and

00:48:34.380 --> 00:48:35.219
 for

00:48:35.219 --> 00:48:36.519
 redemption

00:48:36.519 --> 00:48:38.420
 that's why

00:48:38.420 --> 00:48:38.980
 Peter needs

00:48:38.980 --> 00:48:39.539
 to remind

00:48:39.539 --> 00:48:40.139
 believers

00:48:40.139 --> 00:48:41.759
 he needs

00:48:41.759 --> 00:48:42.420
 to remind

00:48:42.420 --> 00:48:43.340
 these struggling

00:48:43.340 --> 00:48:44.079
 believers

00:48:44.079 --> 00:48:45.340
 that the blood

00:48:45.340 --> 00:48:46.940
 is precious

00:48:46.940 --> 00:48:48.079
 that's why

00:48:48.079 --> 00:48:48.759
 you and I

00:48:48.759 --> 00:48:49.840
 need to be

00:48:49.840 --> 00:48:50.840
 reminded tonight

00:48:50.840 --> 00:48:52.039
 that the blood

00:48:52.039 --> 00:48:53.279
 is precious

00:48:53.279 --> 00:48:54.179
 we hear these

00:48:54.179 --> 00:48:55.179
 things being said

00:48:55.179 --> 00:48:55.880
 we say them

00:48:55.880 --> 00:48:56.679
 we read them

00:48:56.679 --> 00:48:57.500
 but we need

00:48:57.500 --> 00:48:58.500
 reminded as

00:48:58.500 --> 00:48:59.599
 to exactly

00:48:59.599 --> 00:49:00.460
 what they

00:49:00.460 --> 00:49:00.699
 mean

00:49:00.699 --> 00:49:00.919
 and we

00:49:00.919 --> 00:49:01.500
 might ask

00:49:01.500 --> 00:49:02.119
 well why

00:49:02.119 --> 00:49:03.059
 why is

00:49:03.059 --> 00:49:03.799
 this blood

00:49:03.799 --> 00:49:04.519
 precious

00:49:04.519 --> 00:49:05.099
 we know

00:49:05.099 --> 00:49:05.539
 what it

00:49:05.539 --> 00:49:05.980
 does

00:49:05.980 --> 00:49:07.460
 but what

00:49:07.460 --> 00:49:08.099
 makes it

00:49:08.099 --> 00:49:09.440
 so precious

00:49:09.440 --> 00:49:11.000
 well there's

00:49:11.000 --> 00:49:11.339
 a few

00:49:11.339 --> 00:49:11.919
 things

00:49:11.919 --> 00:49:14.099
 firstly what

00:49:14.099 --> 00:49:14.440
 we know

00:49:14.440 --> 00:49:15.000
 is that the

00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:15.519
 blood of

00:49:15.519 --> 00:49:16.539
 Jesus Christ

00:49:16.539 --> 00:49:19.039
 it justifies

00:49:19.039 --> 00:49:19.799
 now we hear

00:49:19.799 --> 00:49:20.980
 theological words

00:49:20.980 --> 00:49:21.319
 like

00:49:21.319 --> 00:49:22.419
 justification

00:49:22.420 --> 00:49:24.320
 and perhaps

00:49:24.320 --> 00:49:25.579
 we switch

00:49:25.579 --> 00:49:26.000
 off

00:49:26.000 --> 00:49:27.039
 and we

00:49:27.039 --> 00:49:27.659
 think well

00:49:27.659 --> 00:49:28.500
 that's

00:49:28.500 --> 00:49:29.260
 just

00:49:29.260 --> 00:49:29.940
 theology

00:49:29.940 --> 00:49:30.440
 I don't

00:49:30.440 --> 00:49:30.940
 really want

00:49:30.940 --> 00:49:31.900
 to think

00:49:31.900 --> 00:49:32.519
 about that

00:49:32.519 --> 00:49:32.980
 just now

00:49:32.980 --> 00:49:33.639
 these words

00:49:33.639 --> 00:49:34.400
 at times

00:49:34.400 --> 00:49:34.980
 can lead

00:49:34.980 --> 00:49:35.579
 us perhaps

00:49:35.579 --> 00:49:36.059
 not to

00:49:36.059 --> 00:49:36.680
 tune in

00:49:36.680 --> 00:49:37.880
 but these

00:49:37.880 --> 00:49:38.639
 words behind

00:49:38.639 --> 00:49:39.000
 them have

00:49:39.000 --> 00:49:39.980
 very simple

00:49:39.980 --> 00:49:41.039
 meaning

00:49:41.039 --> 00:49:42.659
 the blood

00:49:42.659 --> 00:49:43.579
 of Jesus

00:49:43.579 --> 00:49:44.300
 Christ

00:49:44.300 --> 00:49:45.659
 justifies

00:49:45.659 --> 00:49:46.099
 what does

00:49:46.099 --> 00:49:46.659
 that mean

00:49:46.659 --> 00:49:48.220
 well we

00:49:48.220 --> 00:49:48.960
 are as

00:49:48.960 --> 00:49:49.300
 sinners

00:49:49.300 --> 00:49:50.240
 by nature

00:49:50.239 --> 00:49:51.479
 unjust

00:49:51.479 --> 00:49:52.379
 people

00:49:52.379 --> 00:49:53.479
 we're

00:49:53.479 --> 00:49:54.139
 unjust

00:49:54.139 --> 00:49:55.219
 people

00:49:55.219 --> 00:49:57.079
 we break

00:49:57.079 --> 00:49:57.759
 God's law

00:49:57.759 --> 00:49:58.039
 in our

00:49:58.039 --> 00:49:58.579
 thoughts

00:49:58.579 --> 00:49:59.279
 in our

00:49:59.279 --> 00:49:59.739
 words

00:49:59.739 --> 00:50:00.059
 in our

00:50:00.059 --> 00:50:00.579
 actions

00:50:00.579 --> 00:50:01.500
 and because

00:50:01.500 --> 00:50:02.119
 of this

00:50:02.119 --> 00:50:02.739
 God's

00:50:02.739 --> 00:50:03.259
 justice

00:50:03.259 --> 00:50:04.459
 it needs

00:50:04.459 --> 00:50:05.419
 to be

00:50:05.419 --> 00:50:06.399
 satisfied

00:50:06.399 --> 00:50:06.939
 we're

00:50:06.939 --> 00:50:07.579
 unjust

00:50:07.579 --> 00:50:08.719
 God is

00:50:08.719 --> 00:50:09.239
 just

00:50:09.239 --> 00:50:09.899
 his

00:50:09.899 --> 00:50:10.519
 justice

00:50:10.519 --> 00:50:11.379
 has to

00:50:11.379 --> 00:50:11.699
 be

00:50:11.699 --> 00:50:12.500
 satisfied

00:50:12.500 --> 00:50:12.819
 in the

00:50:12.819 --> 00:50:13.139
 same way

00:50:13.139 --> 00:50:13.419
 that if

00:50:13.419 --> 00:50:13.739
 someone

00:50:13.739 --> 00:50:14.299
 commits a

00:50:14.299 --> 00:50:14.719
 crime

00:50:14.719 --> 00:50:15.699
 we expect

00:50:15.699 --> 00:50:16.279
 to see

00:50:16.279 --> 00:50:16.839
 justice

00:50:16.839 --> 00:50:17.199
 and if

00:50:17.199 --> 00:50:17.559
 we don't

00:50:17.559 --> 00:50:17.819
 see

00:50:17.819 --> 00:50:18.459
 justice

00:50:18.459 --> 00:50:19.219
 we're

00:50:19.219 --> 00:50:19.500
 not

00:50:19.500 --> 00:50:20.059
 happy

00:50:20.059 --> 00:50:21.259
 we expect

00:50:21.259 --> 00:50:21.659
 to see

00:50:21.659 --> 00:50:21.960
 someone

00:50:21.960 --> 00:50:22.639
 being dealt

00:50:22.639 --> 00:50:23.079
 with

00:50:23.079 --> 00:50:24.219
 accordingly

00:50:24.219 --> 00:50:27.599
 now as

00:50:27.599 --> 00:50:27.779
 we've

00:50:27.779 --> 00:50:28.039
 already

00:50:28.039 --> 00:50:28.500
 said

00:50:28.500 --> 00:50:28.779
 our

00:50:28.779 --> 00:50:29.259
 sins

00:50:29.259 --> 00:50:29.659
 have

00:50:29.659 --> 00:50:30.199
 left

00:50:30.199 --> 00:50:30.739
 all of

00:50:30.739 --> 00:50:30.960
 us

00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:31.179
 with

00:50:31.179 --> 00:50:31.519
 that

00:50:31.519 --> 00:50:32.320
 which

00:50:32.320 --> 00:50:32.599
 needs

00:50:32.599 --> 00:50:32.980
 to be

00:50:32.980 --> 00:50:33.279
 dealt

00:50:33.279 --> 00:50:33.699
 with

00:50:33.699 --> 00:50:34.920
 accordingly

00:50:34.920 --> 00:50:36.299
 the

00:50:36.299 --> 00:50:36.699
 wages

00:50:36.699 --> 00:50:37.139
 of

00:50:37.139 --> 00:50:37.679
 sin

00:50:37.679 --> 00:50:38.880
 is

00:50:38.880 --> 00:50:39.420
 death

00:50:39.420 --> 00:50:40.960
 and

00:50:40.960 --> 00:50:41.239
 that's

00:50:41.239 --> 00:50:41.539
 where

00:50:41.539 --> 00:50:42.279
 Jesus

00:50:42.279 --> 00:50:42.880
 Christ

00:50:42.880 --> 00:50:44.019
 comes

00:50:44.019 --> 00:50:44.279
 in

00:50:44.279 --> 00:50:44.639
 because

00:50:44.639 --> 00:50:45.219
 Christ

00:50:45.219 --> 00:50:45.679
 died

00:50:45.679 --> 00:50:46.000
 did he

00:50:46.000 --> 00:50:46.340
 not

00:50:46.340 --> 00:50:47.279
 as a

00:50:47.279 --> 00:50:48.000
 substitute

00:50:48.000 --> 00:50:49.460
 a

00:50:49.460 --> 00:50:50.099
 just

00:50:50.099 --> 00:50:50.659
 man

00:50:50.659 --> 00:50:51.920
 dying

00:50:51.920 --> 00:50:52.579
 for

00:50:52.579 --> 00:50:53.900
 unjust

00:50:53.900 --> 00:50:55.340
 people

00:50:55.340 --> 00:50:56.619
 so we

00:50:56.619 --> 00:50:57.019
 are

00:50:57.019 --> 00:50:58.119
 justified

00:50:58.119 --> 00:50:59.460
 in

00:50:59.460 --> 00:51:00.380
 Christ

00:51:00.380 --> 00:51:00.800
 we are

00:51:00.800 --> 00:51:01.460
 safe

00:51:01.460 --> 00:51:02.079
 we are

00:51:02.079 --> 00:51:02.739
 secure

00:51:02.739 --> 00:51:03.480
 in

00:51:03.480 --> 00:51:03.980
 Christ

00:51:03.980 --> 00:51:04.179
 and

00:51:04.179 --> 00:51:04.480
 because

00:51:04.480 --> 00:51:05.000
 we are

00:51:05.000 --> 00:51:05.420
 safe

00:51:05.420 --> 00:51:05.579
 and

00:51:05.579 --> 00:51:05.960
 secure

00:51:05.960 --> 00:51:06.159
 in

00:51:06.159 --> 00:51:06.400
 Christ

00:51:06.400 --> 00:51:06.840
 because

00:51:06.840 --> 00:51:07.119
 we're

00:51:07.119 --> 00:51:07.639
 justified

00:51:07.639 --> 00:51:08.139
 in

00:51:08.139 --> 00:51:08.539
 Christ

00:51:08.539 --> 00:51:09.159
 we can

00:51:09.159 --> 00:51:09.579
 never

00:51:09.579 --> 00:51:10.159
 face

00:51:10.159 --> 00:51:10.659
 the

00:51:10.659 --> 00:51:11.059
 wrath

00:51:11.059 --> 00:51:11.320
 of

00:51:11.320 --> 00:51:11.599
 God

00:51:11.599 --> 00:51:11.840
 isn't

00:51:11.840 --> 00:51:12.019
 that

00:51:12.019 --> 00:51:12.599
 wonderful

00:51:12.599 --> 00:51:14.500
 that

00:51:14.500 --> 00:51:14.679
 no

00:51:14.679 --> 00:51:15.059
 matter

00:51:15.059 --> 00:51:15.400
 what

00:51:15.400 --> 00:51:15.860
 happens

00:51:15.860 --> 00:51:16.219
 if

00:51:16.219 --> 00:51:16.480
 we

00:51:16.480 --> 00:51:16.799
 are

00:51:16.799 --> 00:51:17.119
 in

00:51:17.119 --> 00:51:17.539
 Christ

00:51:17.539 --> 00:51:18.000
 we

00:51:18.000 --> 00:51:18.360
 cannot

00:51:18.360 --> 00:51:18.779
 face

00:51:18.779 --> 00:51:19.000
 his

00:51:19.000 --> 00:51:19.400
 wrath

00:51:19.400 --> 00:51:19.839
 his

00:51:19.839 --> 00:51:20.400
 curse

00:51:20.400 --> 00:51:21.799
 that's

00:51:21.799 --> 00:51:21.940
 a

00:51:21.940 --> 00:51:22.380
 thought

00:51:22.380 --> 00:51:23.299
 a

00:51:23.299 --> 00:51:23.519
 thought

00:51:23.519 --> 00:51:23.699
 that

00:51:23.699 --> 00:51:24.039
 ought

00:51:24.039 --> 00:51:24.179
 to

00:51:24.179 --> 00:51:24.360
 lead

00:51:24.360 --> 00:51:24.539
 us

00:51:24.539 --> 00:51:24.759
 to

00:51:24.759 --> 00:51:25.199
 praise

00:51:25.199 --> 00:51:25.440
 and

00:51:25.440 --> 00:51:26.019
 worship

00:51:26.019 --> 00:51:26.819
 all

00:51:26.819 --> 00:51:27.500
 the

00:51:27.500 --> 00:51:27.920
 more

00:51:27.920 --> 00:51:30.759
 reminds

00:51:30.759 --> 00:51:30.940
 me

00:51:30.940 --> 00:51:31.279
 of a

00:51:31.279 --> 00:51:31.739
 story

00:51:31.739 --> 00:51:31.980
 I

00:51:31.980 --> 00:51:32.339
 read

00:51:32.339 --> 00:51:33.199
 about

00:51:33.199 --> 00:51:33.420
 a

00:51:33.420 --> 00:51:33.759
 man

00:51:33.759 --> 00:51:33.940
 in

00:51:33.940 --> 00:51:34.119
 a

00:51:34.119 --> 00:51:34.480
 church

00:51:34.480 --> 00:51:34.880
 in

00:51:34.880 --> 00:51:35.440
 Germany

00:51:35.440 --> 00:51:37.019
 it was

00:51:37.019 --> 00:51:37.119
 in

00:51:37.119 --> 00:51:37.259
 the

00:51:37.259 --> 00:51:37.559
 city

00:51:37.559 --> 00:51:38.000
 of

00:51:38.000 --> 00:51:38.960
 Worden

00:51:38.960 --> 00:51:40.539
 and

00:51:40.539 --> 00:51:40.679
 there's

00:51:40.679 --> 00:51:40.940
 a

00:51:40.940 --> 00:51:41.400
 church

00:51:41.400 --> 00:51:41.759
 there

00:51:41.760 --> 00:51:42.560
 with a

00:51:42.560 --> 00:51:43.160
 lamb

00:51:43.160 --> 00:51:43.560
 that's

00:51:43.560 --> 00:51:44.120
 carved

00:51:44.120 --> 00:51:44.780
 out of

00:51:44.780 --> 00:51:45.480
 stone

00:51:45.480 --> 00:51:46.160
 and

00:51:46.160 --> 00:51:46.700
 placed

00:51:46.700 --> 00:51:47.220
 on

00:51:47.220 --> 00:51:48.020
 its

00:51:48.020 --> 00:51:48.460
 roof

00:51:48.460 --> 00:51:48.820
 now

00:51:48.820 --> 00:51:49.080
 it's

00:51:49.080 --> 00:51:49.300
 said

00:51:49.300 --> 00:51:49.540
 that

00:51:49.540 --> 00:51:50.020
 when

00:51:50.020 --> 00:51:50.280
 this

00:51:50.280 --> 00:51:50.600
 church

00:51:50.600 --> 00:51:50.780
 was

00:51:50.780 --> 00:51:51.040
 being

00:51:51.040 --> 00:51:51.540
 built

00:51:51.540 --> 00:51:52.080
 a

00:51:52.080 --> 00:51:52.460
 stone

00:51:52.460 --> 00:51:52.960
 carving

00:51:52.960 --> 00:51:53.340
 mason

00:51:53.340 --> 00:51:53.740
 he was

00:51:53.740 --> 00:51:54.420
 working

00:51:54.420 --> 00:51:54.860
 really

00:51:54.860 --> 00:51:55.240
 high

00:51:55.240 --> 00:51:55.620
 up

00:51:55.620 --> 00:51:56.020
 on

00:51:56.020 --> 00:51:56.200
 the

00:51:56.200 --> 00:51:57.000
 scaffolding

00:51:57.000 --> 00:51:58.180
 when

00:51:58.180 --> 00:51:58.380
 he

00:51:58.380 --> 00:51:58.740
 fell

00:51:58.740 --> 00:52:00.040
 he fell

00:52:00.040 --> 00:52:00.440
 a

00:52:00.440 --> 00:52:00.960
 great

00:52:00.960 --> 00:52:01.420
 height

00:52:01.420 --> 00:52:01.660
 a

00:52:01.660 --> 00:52:02.440
 height

00:52:02.440 --> 00:52:02.940
 at

00:52:02.940 --> 00:52:03.120
 which

00:52:03.120 --> 00:52:03.240
 you

00:52:03.240 --> 00:52:03.400
 could

00:52:03.400 --> 00:52:03.840
 never

00:52:03.840 --> 00:52:04.580
 hope

00:52:04.580 --> 00:52:05.100
 to

00:52:05.100 --> 00:52:05.620
 survive

00:52:05.620 --> 00:52:05.860
 and

00:52:05.860 --> 00:52:06.420
 so

00:52:06.420 --> 00:52:06.600
 his

00:52:06.600 --> 00:52:07.020
 colleagues

00:52:07.020 --> 00:52:07.340
 went

00:52:07.340 --> 00:52:07.680
 down

00:52:07.680 --> 00:52:07.900
 his

00:52:07.900 --> 00:52:08.440
 workmates

00:52:08.440 --> 00:52:08.700
 went

00:52:08.700 --> 00:52:09.060
 down

00:52:09.060 --> 00:52:09.820
 expecting

00:52:09.820 --> 00:52:10.140
 to

00:52:10.140 --> 00:52:10.400
 find

00:52:10.400 --> 00:52:10.600
 the

00:52:10.600 --> 00:52:10.840
 man

00:52:10.840 --> 00:52:11.320
 dead

00:52:11.320 --> 00:52:11.780
 on

00:52:11.780 --> 00:52:11.940
 the

00:52:11.940 --> 00:52:12.400
 ground

00:52:12.400 --> 00:52:14.140
 but

00:52:14.140 --> 00:52:14.480
 no

00:52:14.480 --> 00:52:15.740
 there

00:52:15.740 --> 00:52:15.920
 he

00:52:15.920 --> 00:52:16.519
 was

00:52:16.519 --> 00:52:17.980
 alive

00:52:17.980 --> 00:52:19.440
 with

00:52:19.440 --> 00:52:20.200
 minor

00:52:20.200 --> 00:52:21.600
 injuries

00:52:21.600 --> 00:52:23.019
 how on

00:52:23.019 --> 00:52:23.320
 earth

00:52:23.320 --> 00:52:23.800
 you might

00:52:23.800 --> 00:52:24.080
 ask

00:52:24.080 --> 00:52:24.420
 did he

00:52:24.420 --> 00:52:25.160
 survive

00:52:25.160 --> 00:52:27.420
 providentially

00:52:27.420 --> 00:52:27.720
 and this

00:52:27.720 --> 00:52:28.240
 is true

00:52:28.240 --> 00:52:30.039
 providentially

00:52:30.039 --> 00:52:31.360
 a flock

00:52:31.360 --> 00:52:32.340
 of sheep

00:52:32.340 --> 00:52:32.900
 just

00:52:32.900 --> 00:52:33.660
 happened

00:52:33.660 --> 00:52:34.080
 to be

00:52:34.080 --> 00:52:34.600
 passing

00:52:34.600 --> 00:52:35.300
 beneath

00:52:35.300 --> 00:52:36.260
 the tower

00:52:36.260 --> 00:52:37.220
 at that

00:52:37.220 --> 00:52:37.740
 very

00:52:37.740 --> 00:52:38.660
 time

00:52:38.659 --> 00:52:39.039
 and what

00:52:39.039 --> 00:52:39.539
 happened

00:52:39.539 --> 00:52:40.039
 he

00:52:40.039 --> 00:52:40.659
 landed

00:52:40.659 --> 00:52:41.779
 on top

00:52:41.779 --> 00:52:42.659
 of a

00:52:42.659 --> 00:52:43.059
 lamb

00:52:43.059 --> 00:52:44.179
 he

00:52:44.179 --> 00:52:44.699
 landed

00:52:44.699 --> 00:52:45.559
 on top

00:52:45.559 --> 00:52:46.239
 of a

00:52:46.239 --> 00:52:46.619
 lamb

00:52:46.619 --> 00:52:47.960
 the

00:52:47.960 --> 00:52:48.239
 lamb

00:52:48.239 --> 00:52:48.719
 broke

00:52:48.719 --> 00:52:48.980
 his

00:52:48.980 --> 00:52:49.579
 fall

00:52:49.579 --> 00:52:50.239
 and was

00:52:50.239 --> 00:52:50.579
 of course

00:52:50.579 --> 00:52:51.159
 crushed

00:52:51.159 --> 00:52:52.139
 to death

00:52:52.139 --> 00:52:54.379
 but the

00:52:54.379 --> 00:52:54.940
 man was

00:52:54.940 --> 00:52:55.659
 saved

00:52:55.659 --> 00:52:58.219
 that is

00:52:58.219 --> 00:52:58.679
 of course

00:52:58.679 --> 00:52:59.000
 a

00:52:59.000 --> 00:53:00.960
 poor

00:53:00.960 --> 00:53:01.460
 picture

00:53:01.460 --> 00:53:01.799
 of

00:53:01.799 --> 00:53:03.339
 what

00:53:03.339 --> 00:53:03.920
 justification

00:53:03.920 --> 00:53:04.779
 is

00:53:04.780 --> 00:53:06.480
 but yet

00:53:06.480 --> 00:53:06.760
 it's

00:53:06.760 --> 00:53:07.040
 a

00:53:07.040 --> 00:53:07.540
 picture

00:53:07.540 --> 00:53:09.160
 the

00:53:09.160 --> 00:53:09.660
 just

00:53:09.660 --> 00:53:10.360
 dying

00:53:10.360 --> 00:53:11.320
 for

00:53:11.320 --> 00:53:12.120
 the

00:53:12.120 --> 00:53:12.780
 unjust

00:53:12.780 --> 00:53:13.900
 the

00:53:13.900 --> 00:53:14.240
 lamb

00:53:14.240 --> 00:53:14.420
 of

00:53:14.420 --> 00:53:15.040
 God

00:53:15.040 --> 00:53:16.480
 protecting

00:53:16.480 --> 00:53:17.060
 us

00:53:17.060 --> 00:53:17.940
 from

00:53:17.940 --> 00:53:19.100
 eternal

00:53:19.100 --> 00:53:19.600
 death

00:53:19.600 --> 00:53:20.140
 taking

00:53:20.140 --> 00:53:20.920
 to himself

00:53:20.920 --> 00:53:21.280
 that

00:53:21.280 --> 00:53:21.760
 death

00:53:21.760 --> 00:53:22.760
 himself

00:53:22.760 --> 00:53:23.060
 being

00:53:23.060 --> 00:53:23.700
 crushed

00:53:23.700 --> 00:53:27.160
 so we're

00:53:27.160 --> 00:53:27.660
 justified

00:53:27.660 --> 00:53:28.280
 through the

00:53:28.280 --> 00:53:28.660
 blood

00:53:28.660 --> 00:53:30.500
 but that's

00:53:30.500 --> 00:53:31.000
 not all

00:53:31.000 --> 00:53:31.460
 because we're

00:53:31.460 --> 00:53:31.920
 also

00:53:31.920 --> 00:53:33.100
 redeemed

00:53:33.099 --> 00:53:34.199
 Job

00:53:34.199 --> 00:53:34.699
 famously

00:53:34.699 --> 00:53:35.099
 said

00:53:35.099 --> 00:53:35.860
 I know

00:53:35.860 --> 00:53:37.000
 that my

00:53:37.000 --> 00:53:38.039
 redeemer

00:53:38.039 --> 00:53:39.299
 lives

00:53:39.299 --> 00:53:40.639
 and you know

00:53:40.639 --> 00:53:41.339
 Christ is called

00:53:41.339 --> 00:53:42.079
 many things in

00:53:42.079 --> 00:53:42.739
 scripture but

00:53:42.739 --> 00:53:43.839
 isn't it so

00:53:43.839 --> 00:53:44.940
 that the term

00:53:44.940 --> 00:53:45.679
 redeemer

00:53:45.679 --> 00:53:46.659
 it paints

00:53:46.659 --> 00:53:47.119
 such a

00:53:47.119 --> 00:53:47.659
 beautiful

00:53:47.659 --> 00:53:48.719
 picture

00:53:48.719 --> 00:53:50.159
 because what

00:53:50.159 --> 00:53:50.659
 we have here

00:53:50.659 --> 00:53:50.980
 is that

00:53:50.980 --> 00:53:52.079
 idea of

00:53:52.079 --> 00:53:52.420
 being

00:53:52.420 --> 00:53:53.739
 in bondage

00:53:53.739 --> 00:53:54.000
 being

00:53:54.000 --> 00:53:55.179
 enslaved

00:53:55.179 --> 00:53:56.819
 what are we

00:53:56.819 --> 00:53:57.519
 in bondage

00:53:57.519 --> 00:53:57.739
 to

00:53:57.739 --> 00:53:58.279
 we are of

00:53:58.279 --> 00:53:58.719
 course by

00:53:58.719 --> 00:53:59.239
 nature

00:53:59.239 --> 00:54:00.679
 in bondage

00:54:00.679 --> 00:54:01.000
 to and

00:54:01.000 --> 00:54:01.759
 enslaved

00:54:01.760 --> 00:54:03.200
 by sin

00:54:03.200 --> 00:54:03.620
 this was

00:54:03.620 --> 00:54:04.240
 language that

00:54:04.240 --> 00:54:04.920
 those in

00:54:04.920 --> 00:54:05.560
 Peter's day

00:54:05.560 --> 00:54:06.480
 were familiar

00:54:06.480 --> 00:54:06.840
 with

00:54:06.840 --> 00:54:07.680
 half the

00:54:07.680 --> 00:54:08.080
 world

00:54:08.080 --> 00:54:08.840
 were bought

00:54:08.840 --> 00:54:09.500
 and sold

00:54:09.500 --> 00:54:10.300
 into

00:54:10.300 --> 00:54:11.440
 slavery

00:54:11.440 --> 00:54:11.980
 they were

00:54:11.980 --> 00:54:12.480
 held in

00:54:12.480 --> 00:54:13.100
 bondage

00:54:13.100 --> 00:54:13.460
 as a

00:54:13.460 --> 00:54:13.940
 slave

00:54:13.940 --> 00:54:14.580
 or a

00:54:14.580 --> 00:54:15.020
 captive

00:54:15.020 --> 00:54:16.100
 only until

00:54:16.100 --> 00:54:16.680
 someone

00:54:16.680 --> 00:54:17.680
 would come

00:54:17.680 --> 00:54:18.440
 and buy

00:54:18.440 --> 00:54:19.060
 them back

00:54:19.060 --> 00:54:19.740
 with silver

00:54:19.740 --> 00:54:21.300
 and with

00:54:21.300 --> 00:54:22.360
 gold

00:54:22.360 --> 00:54:24.180
 that's what

00:54:24.180 --> 00:54:25.340
 the word

00:54:25.340 --> 00:54:25.880
 redeem

00:54:25.880 --> 00:54:27.000
 means

00:54:27.000 --> 00:54:28.920
 we see in

00:54:28.920 --> 00:54:29.860
 Isaiah 43

00:54:29.860 --> 00:54:31.099
 but now

00:54:31.099 --> 00:54:32.800
 thus says

00:54:32.800 --> 00:54:33.539
 the Lord

00:54:33.539 --> 00:54:34.039
 he who

00:54:34.039 --> 00:54:35.079
 created you

00:54:35.079 --> 00:54:35.680
 O

00:54:35.680 --> 00:54:36.079
 Jacob

00:54:36.079 --> 00:54:36.680
 he who

00:54:36.680 --> 00:54:37.539
 formed you

00:54:37.539 --> 00:54:38.180
 O

00:54:38.180 --> 00:54:38.780
 Israel

00:54:38.780 --> 00:54:40.680
 fear not

00:54:40.680 --> 00:54:42.480
 for I

00:54:42.480 --> 00:54:43.700
 have

00:54:43.700 --> 00:54:45.059
 redeemed

00:54:45.059 --> 00:54:45.500
 you

00:54:45.500 --> 00:54:46.360
 I've

00:54:46.360 --> 00:54:46.840
 brought you

00:54:46.840 --> 00:54:47.240
 back

00:54:47.240 --> 00:54:47.559
 I've

00:54:47.559 --> 00:54:48.120
 redeemed

00:54:48.120 --> 00:54:48.360
 you

00:54:48.360 --> 00:54:48.980
 I have

00:54:48.980 --> 00:54:49.700
 called

00:54:49.700 --> 00:54:50.099
 you

00:54:50.099 --> 00:54:50.880
 by

00:54:50.880 --> 00:54:51.680
 my

00:54:51.680 --> 00:54:52.240
 name

00:54:52.240 --> 00:54:52.800
 you

00:54:52.800 --> 00:54:54.240
 are

00:54:54.240 --> 00:54:55.760
 mine

00:54:55.760 --> 00:54:57.620
 again

00:54:57.620 --> 00:54:58.240
 wonderful

00:54:58.240 --> 00:54:59.380
 that all

00:54:59.380 --> 00:54:59.700
 of us

00:54:59.700 --> 00:54:59.960
 who were

00:54:59.960 --> 00:55:00.480
 once

00:55:00.480 --> 00:55:01.480
 slaves

00:55:01.480 --> 00:55:02.060
 to sin

00:55:02.060 --> 00:55:03.160
 in bondage

00:55:03.160 --> 00:55:03.840
 to sin

00:55:03.840 --> 00:55:04.340
 again a

00:55:04.340 --> 00:55:05.220
 vivid picture

00:55:05.220 --> 00:55:06.360
 just in

00:55:06.360 --> 00:55:07.260
 shackles

00:55:07.260 --> 00:55:07.760
 sin

00:55:07.760 --> 00:55:08.840
 not allowing

00:55:08.840 --> 00:55:09.180
 us

00:55:09.180 --> 00:55:10.180
 to do

00:55:10.180 --> 00:55:10.540
 that

00:55:10.540 --> 00:55:10.900
 which we

00:55:10.900 --> 00:55:11.040
 were

00:55:11.040 --> 00:55:11.580
 created

00:55:11.580 --> 00:55:12.120
 to do

00:55:12.120 --> 00:55:13.100
 to offer

00:55:13.100 --> 00:55:13.700
 ourselves

00:55:13.700 --> 00:55:14.180
 daily

00:55:14.180 --> 00:55:14.840
 as living

00:55:14.840 --> 00:55:15.780
 sacrifices

00:55:15.780 --> 00:55:16.600
 unto

00:55:16.600 --> 00:55:18.020
 the Lord

00:55:18.020 --> 00:55:20.720
 Christ

00:55:20.720 --> 00:55:20.980
 just

00:55:20.980 --> 00:55:21.320
 paid

00:55:21.320 --> 00:55:22.960
 the price

00:55:22.960 --> 00:55:24.440
 the full

00:55:24.440 --> 00:55:25.460
 price

00:55:25.460 --> 00:55:26.619
 of our

00:55:26.619 --> 00:55:27.880
 redemption

00:55:27.880 --> 00:55:28.619
 and this is all

00:55:28.619 --> 00:55:29.240
 tied up

00:55:29.240 --> 00:55:29.579
 with that

00:55:29.579 --> 00:55:30.159
 word that

00:55:30.159 --> 00:55:31.139
 we used

00:55:31.139 --> 00:55:31.480
 another

00:55:31.480 --> 00:55:32.079
 theological

00:55:32.079 --> 00:55:32.599
 term

00:55:32.599 --> 00:55:32.920
 that we

00:55:32.920 --> 00:55:33.340
 used

00:55:33.340 --> 00:55:34.139
 earlier

00:55:34.139 --> 00:55:35.220
 atonement

00:55:35.220 --> 00:55:37.079
 atonement

00:55:37.079 --> 00:55:37.480
 and it's

00:55:37.480 --> 00:55:37.820
 interesting

00:55:37.820 --> 00:55:38.179
 when you

00:55:38.179 --> 00:55:38.980
 when you

00:55:38.980 --> 00:55:39.220
 look at

00:55:39.220 --> 00:55:39.780
 that word

00:55:39.780 --> 00:55:40.500
 atonement

00:55:40.500 --> 00:55:40.980
 and if you

00:55:40.980 --> 00:55:41.679
 break it

00:55:41.679 --> 00:55:42.019
 down

00:55:42.019 --> 00:55:42.599
 words are

00:55:42.599 --> 00:55:43.079
 interesting

00:55:43.079 --> 00:55:44.440
 you can

00:55:44.440 --> 00:55:45.099
 come to

00:55:45.099 --> 00:55:46.039
 to saying

00:55:46.039 --> 00:55:47.460
 at one

00:55:47.460 --> 00:55:48.440
 meant

00:55:48.440 --> 00:55:49.780
 at one

00:55:49.780 --> 00:55:50.139
 meant

00:55:50.139 --> 00:55:50.460
 and that's

00:55:50.460 --> 00:55:51.119
 what happens

00:55:51.119 --> 00:55:52.119
 when we

00:55:52.119 --> 00:55:52.300
 are

00:55:52.300 --> 00:55:52.980
 redeemed

00:55:52.980 --> 00:55:53.760
 by Christ

00:55:53.760 --> 00:55:54.039
 we are

00:55:54.039 --> 00:55:54.560
 at one

00:55:54.560 --> 00:55:55.660
 with God

00:55:55.660 --> 00:55:56.400
 in Christ

00:55:56.400 --> 00:55:56.860
 the word

00:55:56.860 --> 00:55:57.740
 atonement

00:55:57.740 --> 00:55:58.360
 it literally

00:55:58.360 --> 00:55:59.100
 means to

00:55:59.100 --> 00:56:00.000
 to pay

00:56:00.000 --> 00:56:01.260
 a ransom

00:56:01.260 --> 00:56:02.900
 to pay

00:56:02.900 --> 00:56:04.320
 a ransom

00:56:04.320 --> 00:56:04.840
 and of course

00:56:04.840 --> 00:56:05.460
 the idea

00:56:05.460 --> 00:56:06.080
 of a ransom

00:56:06.080 --> 00:56:06.600
 it's often

00:56:06.600 --> 00:56:07.280
 associated

00:56:07.280 --> 00:56:07.660
 with

00:56:07.660 --> 00:56:08.680
 with the

00:56:08.680 --> 00:56:09.039
 idea

00:56:09.039 --> 00:56:09.300
 that

00:56:09.300 --> 00:56:10.120
 that someone's

00:56:10.120 --> 00:56:10.680
 needing to be

00:56:10.680 --> 00:56:11.240
 released

00:56:11.240 --> 00:56:12.240
 from captivity

00:56:12.240 --> 00:56:13.240
 or in

00:56:13.240 --> 00:56:13.980
 bondage

00:56:13.980 --> 00:56:14.600
 and in

00:56:14.600 --> 00:56:15.100
 order for

00:56:15.100 --> 00:56:15.519
 this to

00:56:15.519 --> 00:56:15.900
 happen

00:56:15.900 --> 00:56:16.720
 a price

00:56:16.720 --> 00:56:17.340
 needs

00:56:17.340 --> 00:56:18.100
 to be

00:56:18.100 --> 00:56:18.500
 paid

00:56:18.500 --> 00:56:19.220
 it must

00:56:19.220 --> 00:56:20.039
 it simply

00:56:20.039 --> 00:56:20.920
 must

00:56:20.920 --> 00:56:22.060
 be paid

00:56:22.059 --> 00:56:24.219
 and it

00:56:24.219 --> 00:56:24.559
 has

00:56:24.559 --> 00:56:25.000
 tonight

00:56:25.000 --> 00:56:26.380
 it's

00:56:26.380 --> 00:56:26.559
 been

00:56:26.559 --> 00:56:27.219
 paid

00:56:27.219 --> 00:56:28.579
 in

00:56:28.579 --> 00:56:29.079
 full

00:56:29.079 --> 00:56:30.500
 why am

00:56:30.500 --> 00:56:31.039
 I stating

00:56:31.039 --> 00:56:31.840
 the obvious

00:56:31.840 --> 00:56:32.920
 that we're

00:56:32.920 --> 00:56:33.519
 justified

00:56:33.519 --> 00:56:34.380
 that we're

00:56:34.380 --> 00:56:34.699
 redeemed

00:56:34.699 --> 00:56:35.259
 we know

00:56:35.259 --> 00:56:36.019
 all this

00:56:36.019 --> 00:56:37.699
 yet friends

00:56:37.699 --> 00:56:38.440
 how often

00:56:38.440 --> 00:56:39.239
 do we

00:56:39.239 --> 00:56:39.759
 remind

00:56:39.759 --> 00:56:40.279
 ourselves

00:56:40.279 --> 00:56:40.840
 of these

00:56:40.840 --> 00:56:41.659
 wonderful

00:56:41.659 --> 00:56:42.759
 realities

00:56:42.759 --> 00:56:43.119
 these

00:56:43.119 --> 00:56:43.799
 wonderful

00:56:43.799 --> 00:56:44.380
 truths

00:56:44.380 --> 00:56:44.799
 the

00:56:44.799 --> 00:56:45.779
 implications

00:56:45.779 --> 00:56:46.739
 of

00:56:46.739 --> 00:56:47.199
 the

00:56:47.199 --> 00:56:47.820
 precious

00:56:47.820 --> 00:56:48.699
 blood

00:56:48.699 --> 00:56:49.460
 of

00:56:49.460 --> 00:56:50.219
 Christ

00:56:50.219 --> 00:56:52.199
 our text

00:56:52.199 --> 00:56:52.659
 says

00:56:52.659 --> 00:56:53.119
 that we

00:56:53.119 --> 00:56:53.699
 cannot be

00:56:53.699 --> 00:56:54.259
 redeemed

00:56:54.259 --> 00:56:55.179
 with gold

00:56:55.179 --> 00:56:56.480
 or silver

00:56:56.480 --> 00:56:57.579
 or precious

00:56:57.579 --> 00:56:58.279
 stones

00:56:58.279 --> 00:56:59.000
 but with

00:56:59.000 --> 00:56:59.819
 the precious

00:56:59.819 --> 00:57:00.899
 blood

00:57:00.899 --> 00:57:02.359
 of Christ

00:57:02.359 --> 00:57:02.619
 he

00:57:02.619 --> 00:57:03.299
 he came

00:57:03.299 --> 00:57:03.759
 into the

00:57:03.759 --> 00:57:04.059
 world

00:57:04.059 --> 00:57:04.500
 friends

00:57:04.500 --> 00:57:04.919
 as a

00:57:04.919 --> 00:57:05.359
 ransom

00:57:05.359 --> 00:57:06.559
 for many

00:57:06.559 --> 00:57:07.059
 we could

00:57:07.059 --> 00:57:07.839
 never ever

00:57:07.839 --> 00:57:08.699
 afford

00:57:08.699 --> 00:57:09.379
 to pay

00:57:09.379 --> 00:57:10.119
 that ransom

00:57:10.119 --> 00:57:10.599
 no matter

00:57:10.599 --> 00:57:11.259
 what we try

00:57:11.259 --> 00:57:11.659
 to do

00:57:11.659 --> 00:57:11.980
 to be

00:57:11.980 --> 00:57:12.439
 free

00:57:12.439 --> 00:57:13.439
 we're all

00:57:13.439 --> 00:57:13.980
 looking for

00:57:13.980 --> 00:57:14.579
 freedom in

00:57:14.579 --> 00:57:15.000
 the world

00:57:15.000 --> 00:57:15.679
 are we not

00:57:15.679 --> 00:57:16.739
 and we try

00:57:16.739 --> 00:57:17.719
 various outlets

00:57:17.719 --> 00:57:18.619
 to be

00:57:18.619 --> 00:57:19.219
 free

00:57:19.219 --> 00:57:20.899
 but yet we

00:57:20.899 --> 00:57:21.559
 don't have

00:57:21.559 --> 00:57:22.319
 what it takes

00:57:22.319 --> 00:57:22.960
 to buy

00:57:22.960 --> 00:57:23.719
 that

00:57:23.719 --> 00:57:24.500
 freedom

00:57:24.500 --> 00:57:27.019
 but he

00:57:27.019 --> 00:57:27.519
 does

00:57:27.519 --> 00:57:28.940
 and he's

00:57:28.940 --> 00:57:29.500
 paid for

00:57:29.500 --> 00:57:29.899
 it from

00:57:29.899 --> 00:57:30.719
 that bank

00:57:30.719 --> 00:57:32.079
 of his

00:57:32.079 --> 00:57:33.419
 eternal

00:57:33.419 --> 00:57:34.059
 love

00:57:34.059 --> 00:57:34.619
 through that

00:57:34.619 --> 00:57:35.379
 currency

00:57:35.379 --> 00:57:36.639
 of his

00:57:36.639 --> 00:57:37.419
 precious

00:57:37.419 --> 00:57:38.639
 blood

00:57:38.639 --> 00:57:41.139
 so the

00:57:41.139 --> 00:57:41.359
 blood

00:57:41.359 --> 00:57:42.299
 justifies

00:57:42.299 --> 00:57:43.139
 it

00:57:43.139 --> 00:57:43.599
 redeems

00:57:43.599 --> 00:57:44.079
 time is

00:57:44.079 --> 00:57:44.460
 going

00:57:44.460 --> 00:57:45.880
 but it

00:57:45.880 --> 00:57:46.199
 also

00:57:46.199 --> 00:57:47.480
 reconciles

00:57:47.480 --> 00:57:49.360
 what do

00:57:49.360 --> 00:57:49.679
 we read

00:57:49.679 --> 00:57:49.940
 in

00:57:49.940 --> 00:57:50.960
 Isaiah

00:57:50.960 --> 00:57:52.159
 59

00:57:52.159 --> 00:57:52.960
 verse 2

00:57:52.960 --> 00:57:54.179
 but your

00:57:54.179 --> 00:57:55.220
 iniquities

00:57:55.220 --> 00:57:55.960
 have made

00:57:55.960 --> 00:57:56.920
 a separation

00:57:56.920 --> 00:57:57.980
 between you

00:57:57.980 --> 00:57:59.079
 and your

00:57:59.079 --> 00:57:59.639
 God

00:57:59.639 --> 00:58:00.599
 and your

00:58:00.599 --> 00:58:01.179
 sins

00:58:01.179 --> 00:58:01.800
 have hidden

00:58:01.800 --> 00:58:02.720
 his face

00:58:02.720 --> 00:58:03.440
 from you

00:58:03.440 --> 00:58:04.579
 so that

00:58:04.579 --> 00:58:05.280
 he does

00:58:05.280 --> 00:58:06.199
 not hear

00:58:06.199 --> 00:58:06.619
 this is a

00:58:06.619 --> 00:58:07.099
 picture of

00:58:07.099 --> 00:58:07.539
 us by

00:58:07.539 --> 00:58:08.059
 nature

00:58:08.059 --> 00:58:09.000
 because

00:58:09.000 --> 00:58:09.740
 we're all

00:58:09.740 --> 00:58:10.340
 fallen

00:58:10.340 --> 00:58:11.340
 in Adam

00:58:11.340 --> 00:58:12.099
 we have

00:58:12.099 --> 00:58:12.539
 God

00:58:12.539 --> 00:58:12.980
 here

00:58:12.980 --> 00:58:14.179
 we have

00:58:14.179 --> 00:58:14.699
 ourselves

00:58:14.699 --> 00:58:15.199
 here

00:58:15.199 --> 00:58:15.559
 and in

00:58:15.559 --> 00:58:15.839
 between

00:58:15.839 --> 00:58:16.179
 there is

00:58:16.179 --> 00:58:16.339
 this

00:58:16.339 --> 00:58:16.940
 great

00:58:16.940 --> 00:58:17.940
 gulf

00:58:17.940 --> 00:58:19.019
 we are

00:58:19.019 --> 00:58:19.980
 separated

00:58:19.980 --> 00:58:21.440
 from God

00:58:21.440 --> 00:58:22.259
 by nature

00:58:22.259 --> 00:58:23.980
 we are

00:58:23.980 --> 00:58:25.179
 as those

00:58:25.179 --> 00:58:26.799
 who need

00:58:26.799 --> 00:58:27.399
 to be

00:58:27.399 --> 00:58:28.759
 reconciled

00:58:28.759 --> 00:58:29.379
 to God

00:58:29.379 --> 00:58:29.619
 you know

00:58:29.619 --> 00:58:30.019
 what it's

00:58:30.019 --> 00:58:30.440
 like

00:58:30.440 --> 00:58:32.139
 when perhaps

00:58:32.139 --> 00:58:32.919
 you

00:58:32.919 --> 00:58:34.460
 have a

00:58:34.460 --> 00:58:34.919
 disagreement

00:58:34.919 --> 00:58:35.980
 with someone

00:58:35.980 --> 00:58:37.480
 perhaps a

00:58:37.480 --> 00:58:37.799
 bitter

00:58:37.799 --> 00:58:38.480
 disagreement

00:58:38.480 --> 00:58:39.099
 with someone

00:58:39.099 --> 00:58:39.519
 perhaps

00:58:39.519 --> 00:58:40.559
 you're in the

00:58:40.559 --> 00:58:41.259
 middle of that

00:58:41.260 --> 00:58:41.560
 at the

00:58:41.560 --> 00:58:41.860
 moment

00:58:41.860 --> 00:58:42.440
 I don't

00:58:42.440 --> 00:58:42.760
 know

00:58:42.760 --> 00:58:44.580
 and what

00:58:44.580 --> 00:58:45.300
 happens is

00:58:45.300 --> 00:58:45.980
 that someone

00:58:45.980 --> 00:58:46.560
 perhaps who

00:58:46.560 --> 00:58:46.840
 you were

00:58:46.840 --> 00:58:47.560
 close with

00:58:47.560 --> 00:58:48.320
 goes in

00:58:48.320 --> 00:58:49.120
 that direction

00:58:49.120 --> 00:58:49.520
 and you

00:58:49.520 --> 00:58:49.900
 go in

00:58:49.900 --> 00:58:50.780
 that direction

00:58:50.780 --> 00:58:51.860
 and there's

00:58:51.860 --> 00:58:52.520
 this great

00:58:52.520 --> 00:58:53.360
 gulf

00:58:53.360 --> 00:58:54.460
 between you

00:58:54.460 --> 00:58:55.940
 and for you

00:58:55.940 --> 00:58:56.380
 to come

00:58:56.380 --> 00:58:56.860
 together

00:58:56.860 --> 00:58:57.420
 you need

00:58:57.420 --> 00:58:58.040
 once more

00:58:58.040 --> 00:58:58.580
 to be

00:58:58.580 --> 00:58:59.900
 reconciled

00:58:59.900 --> 00:59:00.320
 well that's

00:59:00.320 --> 00:59:00.700
 the way it

00:59:00.700 --> 00:59:01.500
 is with us

00:59:01.500 --> 00:59:02.420
 and God

00:59:02.420 --> 00:59:02.880
 the Father

00:59:02.880 --> 00:59:03.700
 we need

00:59:03.700 --> 00:59:04.740
 to be

00:59:04.740 --> 00:59:06.120
 reconciled

00:59:06.120 --> 00:59:06.800
 because by

00:59:06.800 --> 00:59:07.440
 stranger

00:59:07.440 --> 00:59:08.580
 by nature

00:59:08.579 --> 00:59:09.239
 rather our

00:59:09.239 --> 00:59:10.059
 iniquities

00:59:10.059 --> 00:59:11.099
 have made

00:59:11.099 --> 00:59:11.860
 this

00:59:11.860 --> 00:59:13.219
 separation

00:59:13.219 --> 00:59:20.599
 what do we

00:59:20.599 --> 00:59:21.000
 read in

00:59:21.000 --> 00:59:21.739
 Romans 5

00:59:21.739 --> 00:59:22.179
 9

00:59:22.179 --> 00:59:24.500
 we read

00:59:24.500 --> 00:59:25.039
 that since

00:59:25.039 --> 00:59:25.519
 therefore

00:59:25.519 --> 00:59:26.779
 we have

00:59:26.779 --> 00:59:27.259
 now been

00:59:27.259 --> 00:59:27.920
 justified

00:59:27.920 --> 00:59:29.219
 by

00:59:29.219 --> 00:59:30.319
 his

00:59:30.319 --> 00:59:30.980
 blood

00:59:30.980 --> 00:59:32.239
 much

00:59:32.239 --> 00:59:32.679
 more

00:59:32.679 --> 00:59:33.159
 shall we

00:59:33.159 --> 00:59:33.880
 be saved

00:59:33.880 --> 00:59:34.759
 by him

00:59:34.759 --> 00:59:35.920
 from the

00:59:35.920 --> 00:59:36.480
 wrath of

00:59:36.480 --> 00:59:36.980
 God

00:59:36.980 --> 00:59:38.699
 for if

00:59:38.699 --> 00:59:39.420
 while we

00:59:39.420 --> 00:59:40.260
 were enemies

00:59:40.260 --> 00:59:41.179
 that's what

00:59:41.179 --> 00:59:41.539
 we are

00:59:41.539 --> 00:59:42.199
 by nature

00:59:42.199 --> 00:59:43.460
 we were

00:59:43.460 --> 00:59:44.519
 reconciled

00:59:44.519 --> 00:59:45.179
 to God

00:59:45.179 --> 00:59:45.760
 how

00:59:45.760 --> 00:59:47.380
 by the

00:59:47.380 --> 00:59:47.840
 death

00:59:47.840 --> 00:59:48.800
 of

00:59:48.800 --> 00:59:49.940
 his

00:59:49.940 --> 00:59:51.119
 son

00:59:51.119 --> 00:59:52.940
 by the

00:59:52.940 --> 00:59:53.440
 shedding

00:59:53.440 --> 00:59:54.559
 of

00:59:54.559 --> 00:59:55.780
 his

00:59:55.780 --> 00:59:56.800
 blood

00:59:56.800 --> 00:59:57.219
 that's what

00:59:57.219 --> 00:59:57.619
 the blood

00:59:57.619 --> 00:59:58.139
 does

00:59:58.139 --> 00:59:59.360
 so that

00:59:59.360 --> 00:59:59.900
 that great

00:59:59.900 --> 01:00:00.619
 gulf between

01:00:00.619 --> 01:00:01.219
 us

01:00:01.219 --> 01:00:02.699
 and God

01:00:02.699 --> 01:00:03.940
 it's

01:00:03.940 --> 01:00:04.619
 restored

01:00:04.619 --> 01:00:05.780
 it's

01:00:05.780 --> 01:00:06.619
 bridged

01:00:06.619 --> 01:00:07.799
 so that

01:00:07.799 --> 01:00:08.619
 once more

01:00:08.619 --> 01:00:09.460
 we can

01:00:09.460 --> 01:00:10.019
 be in

01:00:10.019 --> 01:00:10.719
 fellowship

01:00:10.719 --> 01:00:11.339
 in

01:00:11.339 --> 01:00:12.179
 relationship

01:00:12.179 --> 01:00:13.359
 in union

01:00:13.359 --> 01:00:14.199
 and communion

01:00:14.199 --> 01:00:15.279
 with our

01:00:15.279 --> 01:00:15.799
 father

01:00:15.799 --> 01:00:16.420
 through the

01:00:16.420 --> 01:00:16.900
 son

01:00:16.900 --> 01:00:17.819
 who shed

01:00:17.819 --> 01:00:18.319
 his

01:00:18.319 --> 01:00:18.880
 blood

01:00:18.880 --> 01:00:20.199
 for us

01:00:20.199 --> 01:00:23.380
 isn't there

01:00:23.380 --> 01:00:23.900
 something so

01:00:23.900 --> 01:00:24.819
 special when

01:00:24.819 --> 01:00:26.219
 fragmented

01:00:26.219 --> 01:00:27.480
 relations

01:00:27.480 --> 01:00:28.739
 are restored

01:00:28.739 --> 01:00:29.639
 perhaps people

01:00:29.639 --> 01:00:30.059
 you haven't

01:00:30.059 --> 01:00:30.699
 spoken to

01:00:30.699 --> 01:00:31.519
 for years

01:00:31.519 --> 01:00:32.460
 and there's

01:00:32.460 --> 01:00:32.980
 that coming

01:00:32.980 --> 01:00:33.559
 together

01:00:33.559 --> 01:00:34.719
 something

01:00:34.719 --> 01:00:35.360
 wonderful

01:00:35.360 --> 01:00:36.119
 about that

01:00:36.119 --> 01:00:37.059
 that almost

01:00:37.059 --> 01:00:37.659
 the union

01:00:37.659 --> 01:00:38.039
 that you

01:00:38.039 --> 01:00:39.079
 have now

01:00:39.079 --> 01:00:39.799
 is stronger

01:00:39.799 --> 01:00:40.779
 than what

01:00:40.779 --> 01:00:41.139
 you had

01:00:41.139 --> 01:00:41.820
 before because

01:00:41.820 --> 01:00:42.380
 you've come

01:00:42.380 --> 01:00:43.239
 through so

01:00:43.239 --> 01:00:43.759
 much to

01:00:43.759 --> 01:00:44.719
 get to

01:00:44.719 --> 01:00:45.619
 that point

01:00:45.619 --> 01:00:47.299
 and so

01:00:47.299 --> 01:00:47.699
 tonight

01:00:47.699 --> 01:00:48.320
 friends it's

01:00:48.320 --> 01:00:48.940
 worth us

01:00:48.940 --> 01:00:49.699
 celebrating

01:00:49.699 --> 01:00:51.239
 the reality

01:00:51.239 --> 01:00:51.980
 that by the

01:00:51.980 --> 01:00:53.420
 precious blood

01:00:53.420 --> 01:00:54.340
 of Christ

01:00:54.340 --> 01:00:55.059
 we are not

01:00:55.059 --> 01:00:55.779
 strangers

01:00:55.779 --> 01:00:57.019
 to God

01:00:57.019 --> 01:00:59.000
 we are

01:00:59.000 --> 01:00:59.940
 reconciled

01:00:59.940 --> 01:01:00.559
 to God

01:01:00.559 --> 01:01:02.579
 not so

01:01:02.579 --> 01:01:02.900
 that we

01:01:02.900 --> 01:01:03.320
 call him

01:01:03.320 --> 01:01:04.219
 just God

01:01:04.219 --> 01:01:05.000
 which he

01:01:05.000 --> 01:01:05.400
 is

01:01:05.400 --> 01:01:07.659
 but because

01:01:07.659 --> 01:01:07.980
 we can

01:01:07.980 --> 01:01:08.579
 now call

01:01:08.579 --> 01:01:08.980
 him our

01:01:08.980 --> 01:01:09.500
 father

01:01:09.500 --> 01:01:10.960
 and our

01:01:10.960 --> 01:01:11.619
 friend

01:01:11.619 --> 01:01:12.900
 there's that

01:01:12.900 --> 01:01:13.639
 intimacy

01:01:13.639 --> 01:01:15.000
 that

01:01:15.000 --> 01:01:15.940
 closeness

01:01:15.940 --> 01:01:17.360
 that

01:01:17.360 --> 01:01:18.579
 being

01:01:18.579 --> 01:01:19.739
 at one

01:01:19.739 --> 01:01:20.300
 that at

01:01:20.300 --> 01:01:21.139
 one meant

01:01:21.139 --> 01:01:22.179
 with

01:01:22.179 --> 01:01:23.119
 him

01:01:23.119 --> 01:01:24.719
 the blood

01:01:24.719 --> 01:01:25.699
 justifies

01:01:25.699 --> 01:01:27.539
 it redeems

01:01:27.539 --> 01:01:29.799
 it reconciles

01:01:29.799 --> 01:01:30.519
 but finally

01:01:30.519 --> 01:01:31.819
 it also

01:01:31.819 --> 01:01:32.859
 cleanses

01:01:32.859 --> 01:01:35.179
 it cleanses

01:01:35.179 --> 01:01:35.759
 now if you've

01:01:35.759 --> 01:01:36.139
 ever had

01:01:36.139 --> 01:01:37.039
 anything stained

01:01:37.039 --> 01:01:37.759
 by blood

01:01:37.759 --> 01:01:38.159
 you'll

01:01:38.159 --> 01:01:39.219
 you'll know

01:01:39.219 --> 01:01:39.799
 that it

01:01:39.799 --> 01:01:40.319
 leaves a

01:01:40.319 --> 01:01:41.119
 stain that

01:01:41.119 --> 01:01:42.239
 is deep

01:01:42.239 --> 01:01:43.139
 and lasting

01:01:43.139 --> 01:01:43.879
 a stain that

01:01:43.879 --> 01:01:45.159
 is so difficult

01:01:45.159 --> 01:01:45.779
 to get out

01:01:45.779 --> 01:01:46.419
 no matter how

01:01:46.419 --> 01:01:47.039
 many times

01:01:47.039 --> 01:01:47.679
 you wash it

01:01:47.679 --> 01:01:48.199
 there's always

01:01:48.199 --> 01:01:49.619
 this dull

01:01:49.619 --> 01:01:51.299
 brown stain

01:01:51.299 --> 01:01:51.799
 there it

01:01:51.799 --> 01:01:52.519
 just will

01:01:52.519 --> 01:01:53.819
 not go

01:01:53.819 --> 01:01:54.359
 away

01:01:54.360 --> 01:01:55.860
 yet here

01:01:55.860 --> 01:01:56.160
 is the

01:01:56.160 --> 01:01:56.460
 great

01:01:56.460 --> 01:01:57.300
 paradox

01:01:57.300 --> 01:01:58.500
 because the

01:01:58.500 --> 01:01:59.320
 blood of

01:01:59.320 --> 01:02:00.260
 Jesus Christ

01:02:00.260 --> 01:02:01.059
 instead of

01:02:01.059 --> 01:02:02.000
 staining

01:02:02.000 --> 01:02:03.480
 what does

01:02:03.480 --> 01:02:04.019
 it do

01:02:04.019 --> 01:02:05.640
 it washes

01:02:05.640 --> 01:02:06.400
 away

01:02:06.400 --> 01:02:07.059
 any

01:02:07.059 --> 01:02:08.000
 stain

01:02:08.000 --> 01:02:09.059
 of sin

01:02:09.059 --> 01:02:10.240
 the blackness

01:02:10.240 --> 01:02:11.460
 of the black

01:02:11.460 --> 01:02:12.000
 of our

01:02:12.000 --> 01:02:13.240
 sinful hearts

01:02:13.240 --> 01:02:13.980
 it washes

01:02:13.980 --> 01:02:14.920
 each

01:02:14.920 --> 01:02:15.880
 and every

01:02:15.880 --> 01:02:17.120
 stain away

01:02:17.120 --> 01:02:17.760
 that is the

01:02:17.760 --> 01:02:18.320
 wonder

01:02:18.320 --> 01:02:19.840
 working power

01:02:19.840 --> 01:02:20.780
 of the

01:02:20.780 --> 01:02:21.260
 blood

01:02:21.260 --> 01:02:22.580
 sin

01:02:22.580 --> 01:02:23.240
 has left

01:02:23.240 --> 01:02:24.440
 a crimson

01:02:24.440 --> 01:02:25.040
 stain

01:02:25.040 --> 01:02:25.520
 which can

01:02:25.520 --> 01:02:26.100
 only

01:02:26.100 --> 01:02:27.240
 be washed

01:02:27.240 --> 01:02:28.140
 by the

01:02:28.140 --> 01:02:28.380
 blood

01:02:28.380 --> 01:02:28.680
 it doesn't

01:02:28.680 --> 01:02:29.180
 matter how

01:02:29.180 --> 01:02:29.720
 dark our

01:02:29.720 --> 01:02:30.240
 hearts are

01:02:30.240 --> 01:02:30.840
 maybe tonight

01:02:30.840 --> 01:02:31.320
 you're not a

01:02:31.320 --> 01:02:31.680
 Christian

01:02:31.680 --> 01:02:32.560
 and you think

01:02:32.560 --> 01:02:33.240
 I'm too

01:02:33.240 --> 01:02:33.980
 far gone

01:02:33.980 --> 01:02:34.820
 my heart's

01:02:34.820 --> 01:02:35.420
 so black

01:02:35.420 --> 01:02:35.880
 if only

01:02:35.880 --> 01:02:36.580
 you could

01:02:36.580 --> 01:02:37.460
 see within

01:02:37.460 --> 01:02:39.180
 and you think

01:02:39.180 --> 01:02:39.960
 there's nothing

01:02:39.960 --> 01:02:40.500
 that can be

01:02:40.500 --> 01:02:41.180
 done for you

01:02:41.180 --> 01:02:41.520
 you're a

01:02:41.520 --> 01:02:42.440
 lost cause

01:02:42.440 --> 01:02:43.860
 rubbish

01:02:43.860 --> 01:02:46.300
 his blood

01:02:46.300 --> 01:02:47.519
 is sufficient

01:02:47.519 --> 01:02:48.680
 to wash

01:02:48.680 --> 01:02:49.579
 the darkest

01:02:49.579 --> 01:02:51.140
 of sins

01:02:51.140 --> 01:02:52.280
 the darkest

01:02:52.280 --> 01:02:53.380
 of

01:02:53.380 --> 01:02:54.800
 hearts

01:02:54.800 --> 01:03:01.180
 will your

01:03:01.180 --> 01:03:01.700
 sins

01:03:01.700 --> 01:03:03.079
 be as

01:03:03.079 --> 01:03:03.780
 scarlet

01:03:03.780 --> 01:03:05.400
 they shall

01:03:05.400 --> 01:03:05.840
 be as

01:03:05.840 --> 01:03:06.420
 white

01:03:06.420 --> 01:03:08.440
 as snow

01:03:08.440 --> 01:03:09.880
 although

01:03:09.880 --> 01:03:10.260
 they be

01:03:10.260 --> 01:03:10.720
 red

01:03:10.720 --> 01:03:11.760
 like

01:03:11.760 --> 01:03:12.640
 crimson

01:03:12.640 --> 01:03:13.079
 what are

01:03:13.079 --> 01:03:13.680
 they like

01:03:13.679 --> 01:03:15.739
 yeah that's

01:03:15.739 --> 01:03:16.139
 wool

01:03:16.139 --> 01:03:17.919
 that's what

01:03:17.919 --> 01:03:18.299
 the blood

01:03:18.299 --> 01:03:18.779
 of Jesus

01:03:18.779 --> 01:03:19.319
 Christ

01:03:19.319 --> 01:03:19.819
 is able

01:03:19.819 --> 01:03:20.399
 to do

01:03:20.399 --> 01:03:22.259
 it

01:03:22.259 --> 01:03:23.059
 justifies

01:03:23.059 --> 01:03:24.399
 it

01:03:24.399 --> 01:03:25.159
 redeems

01:03:25.159 --> 01:03:26.299
 it

01:03:26.299 --> 01:03:27.299
 cleanses

01:03:27.299 --> 01:03:28.399
 it

01:03:28.399 --> 01:03:29.219
 reconciles

01:03:29.219 --> 01:03:29.519
 what does

01:03:29.519 --> 01:03:29.799
 the hymn

01:03:29.799 --> 01:03:30.119
 writer

01:03:30.119 --> 01:03:30.559
 say

01:03:30.559 --> 01:03:30.879
 well he

01:03:30.879 --> 01:03:31.199
 says

01:03:31.199 --> 01:03:31.599
 this

01:03:31.599 --> 01:03:32.719
 there is

01:03:32.719 --> 01:03:33.399
 a fountain

01:03:33.399 --> 01:03:34.219
 filled

01:03:34.219 --> 01:03:35.199
 with blood

01:03:35.199 --> 01:03:35.819
 drawn

01:03:35.819 --> 01:03:36.719
 from

01:03:36.719 --> 01:03:37.599
 Emmanuel's

01:03:37.599 --> 01:03:38.119
 veins

01:03:38.119 --> 01:03:39.500
 and

01:03:39.500 --> 01:03:40.219
 sinners

01:03:40.219 --> 01:03:41.319
 plunged

01:03:41.319 --> 01:03:42.019
 beneath

01:03:42.019 --> 01:03:43.659
 that flood

01:03:43.659 --> 01:03:45.039
 lose

01:03:45.039 --> 01:03:45.840
 all

01:03:45.840 --> 01:03:46.719
 not some

01:03:46.719 --> 01:03:48.039
 all

01:03:48.039 --> 01:03:48.980
 their

01:03:48.980 --> 01:03:49.739
 guilty

01:03:49.739 --> 01:03:51.079
 stains

01:03:51.079 --> 01:03:51.380
 and you know

01:03:51.380 --> 01:03:51.920
 the church

01:03:51.920 --> 01:03:52.619
 in Rome

01:03:52.619 --> 01:03:53.699
 she needed

01:03:53.699 --> 01:03:54.159
 to be

01:03:54.159 --> 01:03:54.659
 reminded

01:03:54.659 --> 01:03:55.320
 of this

01:03:55.320 --> 01:03:56.079
 as

01:03:56.079 --> 01:03:57.239
 she and

01:03:57.239 --> 01:03:58.019
 her people

01:03:58.019 --> 01:03:58.920
 navigated

01:03:58.920 --> 01:03:59.599
 their way

01:03:59.599 --> 01:04:00.039
 through the

01:04:00.039 --> 01:04:00.739
 challenges

01:04:00.739 --> 01:04:01.460
 of life

01:04:01.460 --> 01:04:02.099
 and so

01:04:02.099 --> 01:04:02.500
 do you

01:04:02.500 --> 01:04:02.719
 need

01:04:02.719 --> 01:04:03.259
 reminded

01:04:03.259 --> 01:04:03.800
 tonight

01:04:03.800 --> 01:04:06.260
 your

01:04:06.260 --> 01:04:06.620
 heart

01:04:06.620 --> 01:04:07.039
 I'm sure

01:04:07.039 --> 01:04:07.380
 feels

01:04:07.380 --> 01:04:08.160
 so dark

01:04:08.160 --> 01:04:09.900
 so full

01:04:09.900 --> 01:04:10.420
 of sin

01:04:10.420 --> 01:04:11.080
 even as

01:04:11.080 --> 01:04:11.600
 the Lord's

01:04:11.600 --> 01:04:11.900
 people

01:04:11.900 --> 01:04:12.600
 especially

01:04:12.600 --> 01:04:13.080
 as the

01:04:13.080 --> 01:04:13.420
 Lord's

01:04:13.420 --> 01:04:13.800
 people

01:04:13.800 --> 01:04:15.460
 and we

01:04:15.460 --> 01:04:16.060
 hang out

01:04:16.060 --> 01:04:16.400
 heads

01:04:16.400 --> 01:04:16.920
 in shame

01:04:16.920 --> 01:04:17.620
 coming to

01:04:17.620 --> 01:04:18.340
 his table

01:04:18.340 --> 01:04:19.660
 and that's

01:04:19.660 --> 01:04:20.080
 why we

01:04:20.080 --> 01:04:20.400
 need

01:04:20.400 --> 01:04:21.560
 to remember

01:04:21.560 --> 01:04:23.100
 that's

01:04:23.100 --> 01:04:23.500
 why we

01:04:23.500 --> 01:04:23.860
 need

01:04:23.860 --> 01:04:24.440
 to be

01:04:24.440 --> 01:04:24.900
 reminded

01:04:24.900 --> 01:04:25.300
 that's

01:04:25.300 --> 01:04:25.440
 why

01:04:25.440 --> 01:04:26.000
 tomorrow

01:04:26.000 --> 01:04:26.580
 we are

01:04:26.580 --> 01:04:26.980
 going to

01:04:26.980 --> 01:04:27.600
 take of

01:04:27.600 --> 01:04:28.320
 that wine

01:04:28.320 --> 01:04:29.760
 symbolizing

01:04:29.760 --> 01:04:30.940
 that blood

01:04:30.940 --> 01:04:31.320
 to be

01:04:31.320 --> 01:04:31.840
 reminded

01:04:31.840 --> 01:04:32.480
 of what

01:04:32.480 --> 01:04:33.000
 to be

01:04:33.000 --> 01:04:33.440
 reminded

01:04:33.440 --> 01:04:33.880
 of its

01:04:33.880 --> 01:04:34.380
 power

01:04:34.380 --> 01:04:35.699
 to lead

01:04:35.699 --> 01:04:36.260
 us to

01:04:36.260 --> 01:04:37.099
 that place

01:04:37.099 --> 01:04:38.039
 of worship

01:04:38.039 --> 01:04:39.300
 and praise

01:04:39.300 --> 01:04:40.420
 and adoration

01:04:40.420 --> 01:04:41.179
 of the

01:04:41.179 --> 01:04:41.760
 one whose

01:04:41.760 --> 01:04:42.380
 blood it

01:04:42.380 --> 01:04:42.820
 was that

01:04:42.820 --> 01:04:43.539
 was shed

01:04:43.539 --> 01:04:44.619
 the Lord

01:04:44.619 --> 01:04:45.740
 Jesus Christ

01:04:45.740 --> 01:04:46.139
 it's all

01:04:46.139 --> 01:04:46.880
 about Jesus

01:04:46.880 --> 01:04:49.079
 it has to

01:04:49.079 --> 01:04:49.740
 be about

01:04:49.740 --> 01:04:50.260
 Jesus

01:04:50.260 --> 01:04:50.679
 if it's

01:04:50.679 --> 01:04:51.639
 not about

01:04:51.639 --> 01:04:52.340
 Jesus

01:04:52.340 --> 01:04:54.519
 we're

01:04:54.519 --> 01:04:54.900
 wasting

01:04:54.900 --> 01:04:55.639
 our time

01:04:55.639 --> 01:04:57.300
 the one

01:04:57.300 --> 01:04:57.599
 who has

01:04:57.599 --> 01:04:58.119
 bridged

01:04:58.119 --> 01:04:58.940
 that great

01:04:58.940 --> 01:04:59.360
 gulf

01:04:59.360 --> 01:05:00.280
 between us

01:05:00.280 --> 01:05:01.460
 and God

01:05:01.460 --> 01:05:02.340
 with that

01:05:02.340 --> 01:05:03.019
 path

01:05:03.019 --> 01:05:03.840
 that is

01:05:03.840 --> 01:05:04.500
 stained

01:05:04.500 --> 01:05:05.280
 by his

01:05:05.280 --> 01:05:05.860
 precious

01:05:05.860 --> 01:05:06.360
 blood

01:05:06.360 --> 01:05:06.740
 so that

01:05:06.740 --> 01:05:07.340
 all of

01:05:07.340 --> 01:05:07.600
 us

01:05:07.600 --> 01:05:08.280
 if we

01:05:08.280 --> 01:05:08.660
 are in

01:05:08.660 --> 01:05:08.900
 him

01:05:08.900 --> 01:05:09.360
 tonight

01:05:09.360 --> 01:05:10.760
 and this

01:05:10.760 --> 01:05:11.000
 is why

01:05:11.000 --> 01:05:11.320
 you need

01:05:11.320 --> 01:05:11.840
 to profess

01:05:11.840 --> 01:05:12.260
 if you

01:05:12.260 --> 01:05:12.559
 are

01:05:12.559 --> 01:05:13.620
 it's the

01:05:13.620 --> 01:05:13.820
 least

01:05:13.820 --> 01:05:14.220
 you can

01:05:14.220 --> 01:05:14.600
 do

01:05:14.600 --> 01:05:15.900
 so that

01:05:15.900 --> 01:05:16.480
 all of

01:05:16.480 --> 01:05:16.920
 us

01:05:16.920 --> 01:05:17.280
 if we

01:05:17.280 --> 01:05:17.579
 are in

01:05:17.579 --> 01:05:17.880
 him

01:05:17.880 --> 01:05:18.420
 we can

01:05:18.420 --> 01:05:19.460
 confidently

01:05:19.460 --> 01:05:20.600
 and

01:05:20.600 --> 01:05:22.079
 experientially

01:05:22.079 --> 01:05:22.820
 say

01:05:22.820 --> 01:05:23.920
 our

01:05:23.920 --> 01:05:24.539
 amen

01:05:24.539 --> 01:05:25.200
 to the

01:05:25.200 --> 01:05:25.559
 words

01:05:25.559 --> 01:05:25.860
 of the

01:05:25.860 --> 01:05:26.079
 hymn

01:05:26.079 --> 01:05:26.360
 writer

01:05:26.360 --> 01:05:26.700
 when he

01:05:26.700 --> 01:05:26.900
 said

01:05:26.900 --> 01:05:27.140
 and I'm

01:05:27.140 --> 01:05:27.420
 going to

01:05:27.420 --> 01:05:27.840
 close

01:05:27.840 --> 01:05:28.440
 by reading

01:05:28.440 --> 01:05:29.260
 these

01:05:29.260 --> 01:05:30.119
 few

01:05:30.119 --> 01:05:31.159
 verses

01:05:31.159 --> 01:05:31.599
 verses

01:05:31.599 --> 01:05:31.940
 that

01:05:31.940 --> 01:05:33.079
 sum up

01:05:33.079 --> 01:05:33.280
 the

01:05:33.280 --> 01:05:33.860
 essence

01:05:33.860 --> 01:05:34.579
 of what

01:05:34.579 --> 01:05:34.820
 we've

01:05:34.820 --> 01:05:34.960
 been

01:05:34.960 --> 01:05:35.420
 thinking

01:05:35.420 --> 01:05:35.960
 about

01:05:35.960 --> 01:05:36.820
 tonight

01:05:36.820 --> 01:05:38.940
 would you

01:05:38.940 --> 01:05:39.659
 be free

01:05:39.659 --> 01:05:40.940
 from the

01:05:40.940 --> 01:05:41.340
 burden

01:05:41.340 --> 01:05:42.059
 of sin

01:05:42.059 --> 01:05:43.400
 there's

01:05:43.400 --> 01:05:43.940
 power

01:05:43.940 --> 01:05:44.340
 in the

01:05:44.340 --> 01:05:44.800
 blood

01:05:44.800 --> 01:05:46.280
 power

01:05:46.280 --> 01:05:46.820
 in the

01:05:46.820 --> 01:05:47.240
 blood

01:05:47.240 --> 01:05:48.760
 would you

01:05:48.760 --> 01:05:49.840
 or evil

01:05:49.840 --> 01:05:50.740
 a victory

01:05:50.740 --> 01:05:51.220
 win

01:05:51.220 --> 01:05:52.260
 there's

 wonderful

01:05:52.860 --> 01:05:53.539

01:05:54.280 --> 01:06:22.180
 sin

01:06:22.180 --> 01:06:22.860
 stains

01:06:22.860 --> 01:06:23.140
 are

01:06:23.140 --> 01:06:23.800
 lost

01:06:23.800 --> 01:06:24.539
 in its

01:06:24.539 --> 01:06:25.060
 life

01:06:25.060 --> 01:06:25.560
 giving

 there's

01:07:24.639 --> 01:07:27.639
 has enabled

01:07:27.639 --> 01:07:28.259
 us to

01:07:28.259 --> 01:07:28.960
 come into

01:07:28.960 --> 01:07:29.460
 union

01:07:29.460 --> 01:07:29.899
 and

01:07:29.899 --> 01:07:31.719
 communion

01:07:31.719 --> 01:07:32.219
 with a

01:07:32.219 --> 01:07:32.739
 god who

01:07:32.739 --> 01:07:33.079
 is of

01:07:33.079 --> 01:07:33.419
 pure

01:07:33.419 --> 01:07:33.919
 rise

01:07:33.919 --> 01:07:34.239
 and to

01:07:34.239 --> 01:07:34.719
 behold

01:07:34.719 --> 01:07:35.439
 iniquity

01:07:35.439 --> 01:07:37.859
 a power

01:07:37.859 --> 01:07:38.399
 that has

01:07:38.399 --> 01:07:39.139
 given unto

01:07:39.139 --> 01:07:39.779
 us that

01:07:39.779 --> 01:07:40.579
 spirit of

01:07:40.579 --> 01:07:41.139
 adoption

01:07:41.139 --> 01:07:43.079
 whereby we

01:07:43.079 --> 01:07:43.980
 cry out

01:07:43.980 --> 01:07:45.619
 Abba

01:07:45.619 --> 01:07:47.199
 father

01:07:47.199 --> 01:07:49.179
 and lord

01:07:49.179 --> 01:07:49.679

 hour as

01:07:50.899 --> 01:07:52.079

01:07:52.639 --> 01:07:53.859
 children

01:07:53.859 --> 01:07:55.079
 to remember

01:07:55.079 --> 01:07:55.899
 your death

01:07:55.899 --> 01:07:57.319
 that you

01:07:57.319 --> 01:07:57.639
 would be

01:07:57.639 --> 01:07:58.259
 with us

01:07:58.259 --> 01:07:58.919
 also

01:07:58.919 --> 01:08:00.379
 tomorrow

01:08:00.380 --> 01:08:01.760
 that we

01:08:01.760 --> 01:08:02.760
 would come

01:08:02.760 --> 01:08:03.800
 around word

01:08:03.800 --> 01:08:04.780
 and sacrament

01:08:04.780 --> 01:08:05.559
 with that

01:08:05.559 --> 01:08:07.220
 reality of

01:08:07.220 --> 01:08:07.920
 the power

01:08:07.920 --> 01:08:08.280
 of the

01:08:08.280 --> 01:08:08.800
 blood at

01:08:08.800 --> 01:08:09.400
 the forefront

01:08:09.400 --> 01:08:09.920
 of our

01:08:09.920 --> 01:08:10.440
 hearts

01:08:10.440 --> 01:08:11.720
 and our

01:08:11.720 --> 01:08:12.300
 minds

01:08:12.300 --> 01:08:13.760
 and that in

01:08:13.760 --> 01:08:14.500
 doing so

01:08:14.500 --> 01:08:15.980
 we would

01:08:15.980 --> 01:08:16.619
 worship

01:08:16.619 --> 01:08:18.159
 for truly

01:08:18.159 --> 01:08:19.800
 you are

01:08:19.800 --> 01:08:20.420
 worthy

01:08:20.420 --> 01:08:22.159
 go with us

01:08:22.159 --> 01:08:23.020
 now we pray

01:08:23.020 --> 01:08:23.720
 we ask

01:08:23.720 --> 01:08:24.659
 forgiveness

01:08:24.659 --> 01:08:25.440
 for all our

01:08:25.440 --> 01:08:26.319
 many sins

01:08:26.319 --> 01:08:27.980
 in jesus name

01:08:27.979 --> 01:08:28.839
 amen

01:08:28.839 --> 01:08:35.199
 friends we're

01:08:35.199 --> 01:08:35.659
 going to

01:08:35.659 --> 01:08:36.019
 conclude

01:08:36.019 --> 01:08:36.500
 apologies

01:08:36.500 --> 01:08:37.019
 I've kept

01:08:37.019 --> 01:08:37.739
 you a little

01:08:37.739 --> 01:08:38.439
 longer than

01:08:38.439 --> 01:08:38.919
 I'd hoped

01:08:38.919 --> 01:08:39.259
 we're going

01:08:39.259 --> 01:08:39.979
 to conclude

01:08:39.979 --> 01:08:41.199
 by singing

01:08:41.199 --> 01:08:42.099
 from psalm

01:08:42.099 --> 01:08:42.859
 16

01:08:42.859 --> 01:08:45.179
 and sing

01:08:45.179 --> 01:08:45.979
 psalms

01:08:45.979 --> 01:08:51.739
 verse 8

01:08:51.739 --> 01:08:56.380
 this is a

01:08:56.380 --> 01:08:56.859
 psalm that

01:08:56.859 --> 01:08:57.699
 reminds us

01:08:57.699 --> 01:08:58.099
 of the

01:08:58.099 --> 01:08:58.639
 power

01:08:58.639 --> 01:09:00.019
 of

01:09:00.019 --> 01:09:00.920
 the

01:09:00.920 --> 01:09:01.359
 blood

01:09:01.359 --> 01:09:03.340
 a power

01:09:03.340 --> 01:09:03.699
 that

01:09:03.699 --> 01:09:04.679
 will not

01:09:04.679 --> 01:09:05.500
 leave us

01:09:05.500 --> 01:09:06.019
 even in

01:09:06.019 --> 01:09:06.399
 death

01:09:06.399 --> 01:09:07.479
 to see

01:09:07.479 --> 01:09:08.859
 the tombs

01:09:08.859 --> 01:09:09.939
 decay

01:09:09.939 --> 01:09:10.739
 before me

01:09:10.739 --> 01:09:11.340
 constantly

01:09:11.340 --> 01:09:12.039
 verse 8

01:09:12.039 --> 01:09:12.340
 this is on

01:09:12.340 --> 01:09:12.939
 page 17

01:09:12.939 --> 01:09:13.539
 I set

01:09:13.539 --> 01:09:14.639
 the lord

01:09:14.639 --> 01:09:15.279
 alone

01:09:15.279 --> 01:09:17.039
 because he

01:09:17.039 --> 01:09:17.779
 is at my

01:09:17.779 --> 01:09:18.599
 right hand

01:09:18.599 --> 01:09:19.880
 I'll not

01:09:19.880 --> 01:09:21.559
 be overthrown

01:09:21.560 --> 01:09:21.840
 we're going

01:09:21.840 --> 01:09:22.140
 to sing

01:09:22.140 --> 01:09:22.400
 to the

01:09:22.400 --> 01:09:22.640
 end of

01:09:22.640 --> 01:09:23.220
 the psalm

01:09:23.220 --> 01:09:23.840
 to the

01:09:23.840 --> 01:09:24.100
 tune

01:09:24.100 --> 01:09:24.860
 golden hill

01:09:24.860 --> 01:09:25.640
 standing to

01:09:25.640 --> 01:09:26.000
 sing

01:09:26.000 --> 01:09:27.260
 before me

01:09:27.260 --> 01:09:28.380
 constantly

01:09:28.380 --> 01:09:46.779
 I set

01:09:46.779 --> 01:10:05.779
 Because he lives at my right hand, and not the overthrown.

01:10:05.779 --> 01:10:22.779
 Therefore my heart is gone, my tongue with joy will sing.

01:10:22.779 --> 01:10:40.779
 My body too will rest secure in open wavering.

01:10:40.779 --> 01:10:57.779
 For you will not align my soul in death to stay.

01:10:57.779 --> 01:11:15.779
 For will you leave your holy one to see the tomb she gave?

01:11:15.779 --> 01:11:32.779
 You have made no to me, the path of life divine.

01:11:32.779 --> 01:11:51.779
 This child I know that your right hand, joy from your face will shine.

01:11:51.779 --> 01:12:04.779
 Now may the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God the Father, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, rest on and abide with you now and forevermore. Amen.
