00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.219
 Well, royal scandals are everywhere on the pages of history.

00:00:07.140 --> 00:00:13.759
 For millennia, people have plotted, seduced, bribed, battled, beheaded,

00:00:14.500 --> 00:00:19.920
 and committed countless atrocities to either seize a throne

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:24.580
 or to increase their access or their influence over a throne.

00:00:24.579 --> 00:00:31.779
 The greatest royal scandal these days is a young couple trying to get as far away as the throne as they possibly can.

00:00:32.519 --> 00:00:37.299
 But in world history, it doesn't sort of rate as a royal scandal.

00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:42.799
 I've never heard anywhere in the editorials about bringing back the chopping block

00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:46.079
 or anything like that to do with a young Harry or Meghan.

00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:51.340
 There have been many great royal scandals that have displayed the stupidity,

00:00:51.340 --> 00:00:55.440
 the ineptitude, the selfishness, and the cruelty of leaders.

00:00:56.180 --> 00:00:58.740
 Even in England, a number of them.

00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:01.640
 We don't have to go very much far back than Henry VIII,

00:01:02.060 --> 00:01:04.579
 woman in one hand and a leg of lamb in the other.

00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:09.100
 But even you go into the history of Egypt,

00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:14.939
 and again you come up with scandal after scandal of ineptitude,

00:01:15.240 --> 00:01:17.359
 stupidity amongst the pharaohs.

00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:22.700
 Pharaoh Pepe II, who oversaw the downfall of the sixth Egyptian dynasty,

00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:24.980
 he was pretty much a weird one.

00:01:25.659 --> 00:01:28.480
 He had many, many wives,

00:01:29.099 --> 00:01:31.500
 all of whom were his sisters.

00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:37.439
 That was creepy even in their day and their culture.

00:01:38.739 --> 00:01:40.379
 And apart from loving his sisters,

00:01:41.219 --> 00:01:45.079
 he is known for having some sort of weird fascination with pygmies

00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:48.579
 and would search the world for pygmies

00:01:48.579 --> 00:01:52.700
 and bring them back into the Egyptian empire,

00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:54.140
 to his cities and his palaces.

00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:57.799
 And he also loved his food like Henry VIII.

00:01:58.579 --> 00:02:03.120
 He would work apparently only very briefly in any given day,

00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:06.459
 but spend most of his days hosting feasts,

00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:08.379
 one after another after another.

00:02:08.379 --> 00:02:12.659
 The only thing he particularly hated about his feasts

00:02:12.659 --> 00:02:17.419
 was the constant need for him to shoo the flies away.

00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:20.879
 And so one thing that he decided to do,

00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:22.079
 one of his solution,

00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:27.280
 was to bring into his dining area a bunch of slaves,

00:02:27.819 --> 00:02:29.740
 have them doused in honey,

00:02:30.300 --> 00:02:32.419
 and get them to serve the food

00:02:32.419 --> 00:02:35.659
 and to stand to one side in order to draw all the insects.

00:02:35.659 --> 00:02:40.299
 Sort of like a living, breathing fly trap, if you like.

00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:44.120
 Now, like many before him and after him,

00:02:44.219 --> 00:02:48.280
 Pepe II oppressed others for his own glory and freedom.

00:02:48.859 --> 00:02:51.219
 And we see it again as we open up

00:02:51.219 --> 00:02:54.639
 the first two chapters of Exodus.

00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:59.659
 Again, jumping into the Egyptian empire,

00:02:59.659 --> 00:03:06.400
 but a terrifying situation of royalty behaving badly again,

00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:09.780
 but in this case, terrifyingly so.

00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:11.960
 This is a story,

00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:15.280
 Exodus is a story of salvation,

00:03:16.099 --> 00:03:17.680
 salvation from slavery.

00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:19.079
 So if you've got the St. Paul's app,

00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:20.919
 it'd be great if you could open that up.

00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:22.599
 And I've got three points there.

00:03:22.819 --> 00:03:25.479
 I want to run through today as we launch into this series.

00:03:26.139 --> 00:03:28.579
 Three things I want to say in the first two chapters.

00:03:28.580 --> 00:03:31.600
 The promise of salvation.

00:03:31.860 --> 00:03:33.840
 First of all, three principles of salvation.

00:03:34.160 --> 00:03:36.040
 And lastly, the person of salvation.

00:03:36.760 --> 00:03:38.220
 So firstly, the promise of salvation.

00:03:38.700 --> 00:03:43.960
 Now, the book of Exodus begins with the word and.

00:03:45.140 --> 00:03:50.640
 It's missing in virtually every English translation.

00:03:50.639 --> 00:04:00.539
 But the word and immediately alerts us to the fact that this book is part of a much bigger story.

00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:05.899
 Exodus flows straight on where Genesis left off.

00:04:06.359 --> 00:04:11.159
 In fact, the last three verses of Genesis give us a really strong hint

00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:15.119
 that there is a sequel coming to this movie.

00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:16.660
 It says,

00:04:16.660 --> 00:04:27.540
 Weird, because they weren't needing it in that moment.

00:04:28.020 --> 00:04:35.620
 We'll come to your aid and take you up out of this land to the land he promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

00:04:35.620 --> 00:04:41.480
 And Joseph made the Israelites swear an oath and said, God will surely come to your aid.

00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:45.420
 And then you must carry my bones up from this place.

00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:48.800
 So Joseph died at the age of 110.

00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:54.399
 And after they embalmed him, he was placed in a coffin in Egypt.

00:04:54.399 --> 00:05:01.179
 So the unfolding story of Genesis is the background to Exodus.

00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:12.139
 And more specifically, as highlighted there, is that the promises of God to Abraham are the background to these opening chapters.

00:05:12.819 --> 00:05:17.719
 In Genesis 12, 15 and 17, God made a promise to Abraham, just an ordinary bloke.

00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:25.100
 A man that he called out of idolatry to know him, to obey him and to follow him.

00:05:25.960 --> 00:05:29.100
 It's a promise God sealed with a covenant with Abraham.

00:05:29.540 --> 00:05:33.300
 A covenant is a binding agreement between two parties.

00:05:34.380 --> 00:05:40.020
 And there are two elements to this binding agreement to God's promise.

00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:43.200
 The first was the promise of a people.

00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:49.740
 Abraham, we are told from God, Abraham is told that he would become a great nation.

00:05:51.539 --> 00:05:57.180
 Leave your family, go and you will become a great nation.

00:05:57.779 --> 00:05:59.620
 And the second was the promise of a land.

00:05:59.939 --> 00:06:03.000
 Abraham's family would inherit the land of Canaan as their home.

00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:13.819
 And above all, God promised to Abraham that a descendant from Abraham would in fact be the savior.

00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:18.100
 The one who would defeat evil and rescue his people.

00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:26.019
 And 400 years before Exodus chapter 1, that promise was under threat.

00:06:26.019 --> 00:06:33.560
 A famine looked like it would in fact wipe out Abraham's family.

00:06:34.419 --> 00:06:38.799
 God, however, rescued his people through a descendant of Abraham.

00:06:39.539 --> 00:06:48.060
 A man named Joseph who rose up from slavery and imprisonment to become sort of like the prime minister of Egypt.

00:06:48.060 --> 00:06:57.160
 Through Joseph's leadership, all the nations were blessed and saved from starvation.

00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:03.259
 In those desperate times, Joseph's whole family settled in Egypt.

00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:09.060
 And so the promise of God was secure for a time.

00:07:09.060 --> 00:07:22.180
 Four centuries later, at the beginning of Exodus, God promised his promise of establishing a nation for himself is gradually being fulfilled.

00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:27.399
 The first five verses list the sons of Israel who came to Egypt.

00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:33.120
 The total number of Joseph's family who settled in Egypt was about 70.

00:07:33.620 --> 00:07:38.120
 Now, 400 years later, they have become a great nation.

00:07:39.060 --> 00:07:45.160
 As verse 6 and 7 indicate, they have multiplied greatly and have filled the lands.

00:07:47.459 --> 00:07:53.720
 In fact, they've become so great, they are now resented and feared.

00:07:54.160 --> 00:08:01.259
 So once again, the promise of God, his covenant to Abraham is under threat.

00:08:01.660 --> 00:08:07.819
 As Pharaoh enslaves the Israelites and works them ruthlessly.

00:08:09.060 --> 00:08:19.459
 So the book of Exodus is a story of God fulfilling his promise of liberation and salvation.

00:08:21.939 --> 00:08:25.800
 Israel is rescued from slavery in Egypt.

00:08:25.939 --> 00:08:29.360
 It's a rescue that points ultimately to a greater rescue.

00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:33.300
 And we will see this again and again as we journey through Exodus.

00:08:33.779 --> 00:08:37.220
 The liberation of God's people from slavery to sin.

00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:49.460
 We are spending this term in Exodus because this story of salvation 3,000 years ago is our story of salvation.

00:08:49.460 --> 00:08:56.460
 The Old Testament prophets promised a new Exodus.

00:08:56.460 --> 00:09:05.280
 And the trajectory of Exodus right from the opening verses just points us, takes us to Jesus.

00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:30.139
 This book is key to understanding the person and the work of Jesus Christ.

00:09:30.139 --> 00:09:36.220
 It points us to him and inspires us to worship him.

00:09:40.220 --> 00:09:45.120
 Secondly, Exodus 1 and 2 cover many decades of time.

00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:54.940
 They give us the background, if you like, and they set up the liberation that will come in the chapters to follow.

00:09:55.840 --> 00:10:02.340
 They also teach us in these first two chapters, they teach us some key principles of salvation.

00:10:02.340 --> 00:10:17.720
 The first principle is that salvation is rescue from the misery and the slavery of serving anything in your life as more important than God.

00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:20.200
 Let me say that again.

00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:29.180
 Salvation is rescue from the misery and the slavery of serving anything in your life as more important than God.

00:10:29.179 --> 00:10:34.759
 Have a look at me at verses 13 and 14 in Exodus 1.

00:10:36.620 --> 00:10:39.879
 The Egyptians came to dread the Israelites and work them ruthlessly.

00:10:40.079 --> 00:10:45.539
 They made their lives bitter with harsh labor in brick and mortar and with all kinds of work in the fields.

00:10:45.659 --> 00:10:49.579
 In all their harsh labor, the Egyptians worked them ruthlessly.

00:10:50.359 --> 00:10:55.959
 Now basically, and I don't like doing this as a general rule, but I think this is helpful in this instance.

00:10:55.960 --> 00:11:03.639
 Every English translation softens the original language in those verses.

00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:11.460
 You can see that when I give you a more literal reading of those verses.

00:11:11.580 --> 00:11:13.039
 Let me read it to you and I'll tell you why.

00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:15.840
 It makes it obvious why they soften it.

00:11:16.220 --> 00:11:16.340
 Right?

00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:18.039
 So here we go.

00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:40.360
 The same Hebrew verb is used over and over.

00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:44.000
 It's the word that means to serve.

00:11:44.379 --> 00:11:46.680
 Serving as if you are serving a master.

00:11:47.500 --> 00:11:52.899
 Israel is a forced servant of another.

00:11:54.800 --> 00:11:57.680
 It's a deep and oppressive service.

00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:02.360
 This is Israel's plight.

00:12:03.940 --> 00:12:09.340
 Ignorant of her God, she serves another with great pain.

00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:16.960
 Now one of the themes of the Bible, and it's here in Exodus,

00:12:17.899 --> 00:12:23.680
 it is in knowing and serving God that we find blessing.

00:12:24.700 --> 00:12:29.080
 We are freed from other oppressive masters.

00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:34.660
 As Jesus said, you cannot serve two masters.

00:12:36.980 --> 00:12:40.660
 And what he means by that is you can only serve one master.

00:12:43.160 --> 00:12:49.040
 We are truly free when we are serving the right master.

00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:56.759
 When Moses went to Pharaoh, let me just expand this point a little bit.

00:12:56.839 --> 00:12:59.879
 When he went to Pharaoh a couple of chapters later than this,

00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:03.439
 he did not say, let my people go.

00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:07.819
 Now I know Charlton Heston said that in the movie,

00:13:08.079 --> 00:13:10.379
 and I know we all want to believe that's what he said.

00:13:10.719 --> 00:13:13.099
 He did not say, let my people go.

00:13:13.100 --> 00:13:21.220
 He always said, let my people go that they may serve me,

00:13:22.019 --> 00:13:26.279
 that they may worship me in the wilderness.

00:13:26.940 --> 00:13:33.060
 That is, the book of Exodus doesn't end when Israel escapes through the sea

00:13:33.060 --> 00:13:36.180
 and out of Egypt's clutches.

00:13:36.179 --> 00:13:40.839
 There is a whole second section to this book,

00:13:41.079 --> 00:13:45.120
 and most of us get bogged down in the second section of the book.

00:13:46.239 --> 00:13:48.299
 Halfway through, we get bogged down at this point.

00:13:48.779 --> 00:13:53.099
 The first half of Exodus is full of special effects.

00:13:53.899 --> 00:13:57.259
 It's the exciting stuff, the miracles, the action, the power.

00:13:57.599 --> 00:13:59.059
 It's the stuff we want to read through.

00:13:59.059 --> 00:14:04.939
 The second half is page after page after page of instructions

00:14:04.939 --> 00:14:06.759
 on how to build a tabernacle

00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:10.239
 and what you're supposed to do when you build a tabernacle

00:14:10.239 --> 00:14:11.739
 and what goes on the doorposts

00:14:11.739 --> 00:14:13.199
 and what the priests are meant to wear.

00:14:14.139 --> 00:14:16.159
 It's the sort of stuff that, frankly,

00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:19.979
 doesn't ever get into a movie about Exodus.

00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:27.859
 But if you cut the second half of Exodus out,

00:14:29.059 --> 00:14:32.139
 you don't include it in the movie of Exodus,

00:14:32.899 --> 00:14:35.379
 you miss the entire teaching of the book.

00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:37.299
 You miss the whole point.

00:14:40.099 --> 00:14:45.219
 Exodus starts in slavery and it ends in worship.

00:14:47.359 --> 00:14:51.979
 It starts in service, the word service,

00:14:52.979 --> 00:14:57.479
 and it ends with the word service.

00:14:59.059 --> 00:15:04.819
 which in English translations are translated slavery and worship.

00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:09.779
 Service and service, the same word is used at the beginning and the end.

00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:13.819
 You go from serving one to serving another.

00:15:15.479 --> 00:15:17.339
 God's salvation means freedom,

00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:24.179
 liberation to serve the only one whose service will never crush us.

00:15:24.179 --> 00:15:26.859
 That's what liberation is.

00:15:26.859 --> 00:15:28.959
 Now, when we hear that in the modern context,

00:15:29.099 --> 00:15:32.120
 we interpret freedom very differently than that.

00:15:32.339 --> 00:15:35.659
 We interpret freedom as having no masters of constraints whatsoever.

00:15:35.979 --> 00:15:37.579
 No boundaries, no constraints.

00:15:38.079 --> 00:15:41.620
 It's freedom to choose to live life any way I want to live.

00:15:42.719 --> 00:15:46.819
 And Exodus works against that definition for us.

00:15:46.820 --> 00:15:54.800
 Until we are captivated by the beauty and the presence of the God who made us and love us,

00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:57.440
 we are never free.

00:15:58.480 --> 00:15:59.300
 Never free.

00:16:00.340 --> 00:16:04.920
 Unless we are centered on him and we serve him and we worship him,

00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:08.680
 then we are always a slave to something else.

00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:11.719
 Something else has captivated us.

00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:18.139
 Anything that we center our life on more than God makes us a slave to it.

00:16:20.199 --> 00:16:21.259
 How does that happen?

00:16:22.359 --> 00:16:26.979
 Well, every single human being has something that they live for.

00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:30.059
 Something that makes us think that if we have it,

00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:33.219
 we have security and we have significance.

00:16:34.099 --> 00:16:36.599
 It might be, let's just pick on us for a moment,

00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:37.800
 it might be a religious thing.

00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:42.540
 Where we feel significant, we feel secure,

00:16:42.940 --> 00:16:46.639
 we feel hopeful because we are devout and we are good.

00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:49.519
 Whatever it is, it might be our family,

00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:53.279
 it might be success, professional status, a good name.

00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:59.440
 It could be anything that makes us feel significant, happy and secure.

00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:07.480
 However, you can generally tell what it is because we generally respond with anger

00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:10.220
 when someone tries to take that thing away from us.

00:17:10.539 --> 00:17:15.200
 Or we are terribly despondent and troubled when we lose it.

00:17:16.980 --> 00:17:20.860
 Our sense of identity and worth is wrapped up in our career,

00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:24.440
 our work that we do, we lose it,

00:17:24.700 --> 00:17:26.380
 into depression real quick.

00:17:26.380 --> 00:17:28.940
 Can't focus in life.

00:17:32.740 --> 00:17:34.920
 But if you must have it, this is the thing,

00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:39.720
 if you must have that thing in order to feel good about yourself and your life,

00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:43.720
 then what that means is, is you are actually serving it.

00:17:45.220 --> 00:17:48.000
 Constantly striving for it, to have it.

00:17:48.820 --> 00:17:51.240
 You're not free, you're not living free,

00:17:51.360 --> 00:17:53.120
 you're pursuing that thing.

00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:57.919
 Striving to get that thing.

00:17:58.059 --> 00:18:00.539
 You are not free, you are chained to it

00:18:00.539 --> 00:18:03.359
 and anything that can threaten it.

00:18:04.179 --> 00:18:05.639
 And so therefore you live in fear.

00:18:08.339 --> 00:18:12.099
 Exodus tells us that our journey out of slavery isn't done

00:18:12.099 --> 00:18:16.779
 until we come to rest in worship and service and love of God.

00:18:17.139 --> 00:18:20.639
 He's the only one who deserves the highest allegiance of our life.

00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:24.440
 The second principle of salvation we see here

00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:27.620
 is that we are usually prepared for salvation

00:18:27.620 --> 00:18:32.160
 through difficult and hard times in life.

00:18:33.700 --> 00:18:37.320
 One of the striking things about the first two chapters of Exodus

00:18:37.320 --> 00:18:41.980
 is that God is hardly mentioned at all.

00:18:44.380 --> 00:18:46.540
 Things are going from bad to worse

00:18:46.539 --> 00:18:49.539
 and God hardly even seems to be around.

00:18:51.740 --> 00:18:53.839
 First, Pharaoh enslaves the people

00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:55.440
 and when that doesn't work,

00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:57.839
 he tries to kill all the male infants,

00:18:58.279 --> 00:19:00.039
 which is an act of cultural genocide.

00:19:00.899 --> 00:19:04.279
 And when he can't get the midwives to do it subtly and quietly,

00:19:04.659 --> 00:19:06.220
 then he orders everyone,

00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:08.159
 and I'm assuming here,

00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:11.559
 this is an order for not just the Egyptian population,

00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:14.059
 but for the Hebrew population as well.

00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:17.659
 You see a baby boy,

00:19:17.899 --> 00:19:19.599
 Hebrew boy playing in a playground,

00:19:19.819 --> 00:19:21.619
 you grab him and you throw him in the Nile.

00:19:22.460 --> 00:19:24.899
 It's an order for all of the population.

00:19:27.419 --> 00:19:29.299
 It gets worse and worse

00:19:29.299 --> 00:19:30.720
 and the one person

00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:33.139
 in chapters one and two,

00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:34.299
 the one person

00:19:34.299 --> 00:19:37.500
 who looks like he might be able to do something

00:19:37.500 --> 00:19:40.200
 turns out to be no good at all

00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:42.640
 when in anger he murders an Egyptian man.

00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:46.119
 In that act,

00:19:46.539 --> 00:19:48.579
 he alienates both God's people

00:19:48.579 --> 00:19:50.779
 and gets Pharaoh as an enemy.

00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:53.059
 He ends up running off into the desert,

00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:54.579
 gets cut off from the power

00:19:54.579 --> 00:19:55.759
 and the position

00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:57.519
 that he could have used

00:19:57.519 --> 00:19:59.819
 in order to help his people

00:19:59.819 --> 00:20:00.940
 out of the plight that they're in.

00:20:02.500 --> 00:20:03.940
 Everything gets worse

00:20:03.940 --> 00:20:05.400
 to worse to worse

00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:06.119
 and you've got to ask,

00:20:06.220 --> 00:20:06.960
 where is God?

00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:10.299
 Two long chapters

00:20:10.299 --> 00:20:12.640
 covering decades

00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:14.079
 and I mean decades

00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:15.519
 of Israel's history

00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:16.799
 and God is mentioned

00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:17.859
 in verse 17

00:20:17.859 --> 00:20:19.000
 and verse 20

00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:20.019
 and that's all.

00:20:21.859 --> 00:20:22.619
 That's all.

00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:26.460
 But is that not the natural sense

00:20:26.460 --> 00:20:27.000
 that we have

00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:28.660
 when things are going bad in life?

00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:32.519
 God, where are you?

00:20:33.579 --> 00:20:35.279
 You just don't seem to be there.

00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:38.319
 God seems absent.

00:20:38.639 --> 00:20:39.379
 He seems powerless.

00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:40.859
 He even seems careless.

00:20:43.559 --> 00:20:45.039
 And yet these chapters

00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:46.940
 turn that whole idea

00:20:46.940 --> 00:20:47.579
 on their head

00:20:47.579 --> 00:20:51.700
 when you dig in a bit closer to them.

00:20:53.299 --> 00:20:55.220
 Every bad thing here

00:20:55.220 --> 00:20:57.119
 turns out for good.

00:20:57.680 --> 00:20:58.559
 It's remarkable.

00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:00.740
 everything that Pharaoh

00:21:00.740 --> 00:21:02.720
 tries to do here

00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:05.099
 doesn't just backfire on him

00:21:05.099 --> 00:21:06.619
 but it accomplishes

00:21:06.619 --> 00:21:07.960
 the exact opposite

00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:09.519
 of what he was hoping to achieve.

00:21:10.980 --> 00:21:13.019
 He enslaves the Israelites

00:21:13.019 --> 00:21:15.919
 who didn't know their God

00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:18.519
 and he tries to get the midwives

00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:20.660
 to murder the male babies.

00:21:21.180 --> 00:21:22.180
 Verse 20 however

00:21:22.180 --> 00:21:22.920
 tells us

00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:24.019
 the midwives

00:21:24.019 --> 00:21:25.539
 feared God

00:21:25.539 --> 00:21:27.300
 they were brave

00:21:27.300 --> 00:21:28.140
 and

00:21:28.140 --> 00:21:29.380
 they had children

00:21:29.380 --> 00:21:29.940
 themselves

00:21:29.940 --> 00:21:31.140
 and the Israelites

00:21:31.140 --> 00:21:32.660
 increased in number.

00:21:33.980 --> 00:21:35.080
 One of the great

00:21:35.080 --> 00:21:36.440
 ironies of these chapters

00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:38.100
 is that it is only

00:21:38.100 --> 00:21:38.860
 because

00:21:38.859 --> 00:21:41.259
 it is only because

00:21:41.259 --> 00:21:43.279
 Pharaoh

00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:44.799
 tried to kill off

00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:46.059
 all the male infants

00:21:46.059 --> 00:21:47.559
 that Moses

00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:48.939
 was brought

00:21:48.939 --> 00:21:49.639
 into

00:21:49.639 --> 00:21:51.419
 the Egyptian palace

00:21:51.419 --> 00:21:52.559
 and received

00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:53.539
 the training needed

00:21:53.539 --> 00:21:54.679
 to become a liberator.

00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:57.019
 It's only because of that.

00:21:58.799 --> 00:21:59.799
 Only because

00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:00.479
 of the decree

00:22:00.479 --> 00:22:00.939
 to kill

00:22:00.939 --> 00:22:02.179
 all the male infants

00:22:02.179 --> 00:22:03.159
 is Moses

00:22:03.159 --> 00:22:04.019
 nursed

00:22:04.019 --> 00:22:05.279
 by his own mother

00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:06.339
 for the early years

00:22:06.339 --> 00:22:06.879
 of his life

00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:08.500
 probably three to four years

00:22:08.500 --> 00:22:09.820
 he received

00:22:09.820 --> 00:22:10.500
 his own

00:22:10.500 --> 00:22:12.000
 Israelite identity

00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:13.640
 before going

00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:14.440
 into the palace

00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:15.260
 and receiving

00:22:15.260 --> 00:22:16.520
 the best academic

00:22:16.520 --> 00:22:17.700
 and military training

00:22:17.700 --> 00:22:18.300
 in the land

00:22:18.300 --> 00:22:20.020
 in the world

00:22:20.020 --> 00:22:20.680
 at the time.

00:22:22.420 --> 00:22:23.140
 It's only because

00:22:23.140 --> 00:22:23.860
 of that decree

00:22:23.860 --> 00:22:26.260
 the ideal liberator

00:22:26.260 --> 00:22:27.160
 was created

00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:28.080
 by the decree

00:22:28.080 --> 00:22:29.720
 designed to destroy

00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:30.800
 the people

00:22:30.800 --> 00:22:31.860
 from whom

00:22:31.860 --> 00:22:32.500
 he came.

00:22:33.860 --> 00:22:35.600
 Even the stupidity

00:22:35.600 --> 00:22:36.240
 of Moses

00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:37.400
 gets turned around

00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:38.980
 he ends up

00:22:38.980 --> 00:22:39.759
 out in the desert

00:22:39.759 --> 00:22:40.700
 and he learns

00:22:40.700 --> 00:22:41.480
 the humility

00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:42.559
 over the course

00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:43.359
 of many years

00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:44.380
 the very thing

00:22:44.380 --> 00:22:45.539
 that he would not learn

00:22:45.539 --> 00:22:46.819
 in the palace

00:22:46.819 --> 00:22:49.319
 of Egypt.

00:22:49.779 --> 00:22:50.799
 Numbers 12

00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:51.319
 verse 3

00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:51.799
 tells us

00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:52.779
 Moses was a very

00:22:52.779 --> 00:22:53.500
 humble man

00:22:53.500 --> 00:22:54.940
 more humble

00:22:54.940 --> 00:22:56.339
 than anyone else

00:22:56.339 --> 00:22:57.079
 on the face

00:22:57.079 --> 00:22:57.920
 of the earth.

00:22:58.720 --> 00:22:59.359
 He learned

00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:01.120
 not just the ability

00:23:01.120 --> 00:23:01.740
 of leadership

00:23:01.740 --> 00:23:03.019
 in Egypt

00:23:03.019 --> 00:23:03.559
 he learned

00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:04.240
 the character

00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:04.799
 of leadership

00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:05.440
 in the wilderness.

00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:08.079
 That was the missing

00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:08.559
 ingredient

00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:09.319
 when he decided

00:23:09.319 --> 00:23:09.980
 to take on

00:23:09.980 --> 00:23:10.299
 and kill

00:23:10.299 --> 00:23:10.819
 the Egyptian.

00:23:14.299 --> 00:23:14.819
 Now

00:23:14.819 --> 00:23:16.799
 we can see

00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:17.460
 this because

00:23:17.460 --> 00:23:18.279
 of the standpoint

00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:19.159
 of history

00:23:19.159 --> 00:23:20.919
 but they couldn't

00:23:20.919 --> 00:23:21.579
 see that.

00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:22.839
 They couldn't

00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:23.379
 see that.

00:23:24.379 --> 00:23:25.759
 In the same way

00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:26.779
 we cannot see

00:23:26.779 --> 00:23:27.419
 when God

00:23:27.419 --> 00:23:28.379
 what he's doing

00:23:28.379 --> 00:23:29.639
 and so question

00:23:29.639 --> 00:23:29.980
 whether

00:23:29.980 --> 00:23:31.299
 he is in fact

00:23:31.299 --> 00:23:32.099
 a promise

00:23:32.099 --> 00:23:33.139
 keeping God

00:23:33.139 --> 00:23:34.579
 a powerful

00:23:34.579 --> 00:23:35.059
 God

00:23:35.059 --> 00:23:35.740
 a caring

00:23:35.740 --> 00:23:36.180
 God.

00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:37.279
 We learn

00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:37.700
 here

00:23:37.700 --> 00:23:38.419
 that when

00:23:38.419 --> 00:23:39.339
 God seems

00:23:39.339 --> 00:23:40.099
 the most

00:23:40.099 --> 00:23:40.460
 hidden

00:23:40.460 --> 00:23:41.319
 and the

00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:42.399
 most absent

00:23:42.399 --> 00:23:43.799
 he's not.

00:23:45.460 --> 00:23:46.359
 He is

00:23:46.359 --> 00:23:47.139
 working for

00:23:47.139 --> 00:23:47.659
 our good

00:23:47.659 --> 00:23:48.460
 he is producing

00:23:48.460 --> 00:23:49.000
 miracle

00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:49.819
 after miracle

00:23:49.819 --> 00:23:50.639
 after miracle

00:23:50.639 --> 00:23:51.519
 he's working

00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:52.200
 for justice

00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:53.039
 and salvation.

00:23:53.879 --> 00:23:54.240
 The Bible

00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:54.940
 tells us

00:23:54.940 --> 00:23:55.480
 he doesn't

00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:56.159
 want anyone

00:23:56.159 --> 00:23:56.740
 to suffer

00:23:56.740 --> 00:23:57.639
 he takes

00:23:57.639 --> 00:23:58.639
 no delight

00:23:58.639 --> 00:23:59.579
 in the suffering

00:23:59.579 --> 00:24:00.759
 of any human

00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:01.179
 being

00:24:01.179 --> 00:24:02.899
 and yet

00:24:02.899 --> 00:24:04.139
 behind all

00:24:04.139 --> 00:24:04.740
 the suffering

00:24:04.740 --> 00:24:05.779
 he's working

00:24:05.779 --> 00:24:06.279
 to bring

00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:07.399
 about good

00:24:07.399 --> 00:24:08.240
 and justice.

00:24:08.779 --> 00:24:09.299
 Everything

00:24:09.299 --> 00:24:09.919
 that God

00:24:09.919 --> 00:24:10.480
 was doing

00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:11.000
 here in

00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:11.599
 these chapters

00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:12.220
 with Moses

00:24:12.220 --> 00:24:13.179
 was to

00:24:13.179 --> 00:24:13.779
 prepare

00:24:13.779 --> 00:24:14.839
 Moses

00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:15.939
 for an

00:24:15.939 --> 00:24:17.519
 unforgettable

00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:18.319
 encounter

00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:19.339
 in chapter

00:24:19.339 --> 00:24:19.779
 3.

00:24:21.019 --> 00:24:21.639
 Moses

00:24:21.639 --> 00:24:22.159
 at this

00:24:22.159 --> 00:24:22.419
 point

00:24:22.419 --> 00:24:22.980
 did not

00:24:22.980 --> 00:24:23.299
 know

00:24:23.299 --> 00:24:24.099
 his God

00:24:24.099 --> 00:24:25.460
 but he

00:24:25.460 --> 00:24:25.879
 does

00:24:25.879 --> 00:24:26.460
 in chapter

00:24:26.460 --> 00:24:26.819
 3.

00:24:29.579 --> 00:24:31.559
 The third

00:24:31.559 --> 00:24:32.099
 principle

00:24:32.099 --> 00:24:33.960
 is salvation

00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:34.679
 comes to the

00:24:34.679 --> 00:24:35.099
 weak and the

00:24:35.099 --> 00:24:35.439
 powerless

00:24:35.439 --> 00:24:35.859
 not the

00:24:35.859 --> 00:24:36.240
 strong and

00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:36.699
 the powerful.

00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:38.419
 God works

00:24:38.419 --> 00:24:39.740
 for and

00:24:39.740 --> 00:24:41.000
 with the

00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:41.480
 poor

00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:42.240

00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:42.819
 marginalized

00:24:42.819 --> 00:24:44.299
 the excluded

00:24:44.299 --> 00:24:45.099
 the oppressed

00:24:45.099 --> 00:24:45.960
 he works

00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:46.799
 through weakness

00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:47.599
 not power

00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:48.899
 for the

00:24:48.899 --> 00:24:49.480
 outsider

00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:50.579
 he works

00:24:50.579 --> 00:24:52.039
 through

00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:53.119
 the outsider

00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:56.099
 God works

00:24:56.099 --> 00:24:56.439
 with the

00:24:56.439 --> 00:24:57.079
 second son

00:24:57.079 --> 00:24:58.039
 not the

00:24:58.039 --> 00:24:58.599

00:25:53.139 --> 00:25:53.619
 women

00:25:53.619 --> 00:25:54.099
 who did

 not have

00:25:54.500 --> 00:25:54.859
 children

00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:01.079
 God

00:26:01.079 --> 00:26:01.679
 rewards

00:26:01.679 --> 00:26:01.919
 their

00:26:01.919 --> 00:26:02.279
 faith

00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:02.480
 by

00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:02.819
 giving

00:26:02.819 --> 00:26:03.039
 them

00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:03.500
 children

00:26:03.500 --> 00:26:03.779
 which

00:26:03.779 --> 00:26:04.019
 means

00:26:04.019 --> 00:26:04.179
 they

00:26:04.179 --> 00:26:04.460
 didn't

00:26:04.460 --> 00:26:04.740
 have

00:26:04.740 --> 00:26:05.019

 their

00:26:06.879 --> 00:26:07.500
 culture

00:26:07.500 --> 00:26:08.819
 these

00:26:08.819 --> 00:26:09.220
 women

00:26:09.220 --> 00:26:09.639
 without

00:26:09.639 --> 00:26:10.119
 children

00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:10.359
 were

00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:10.779
 considered

00:26:10.779 --> 00:26:11.419
 useless

00:26:11.419 --> 00:26:12.579
 or

00:26:12.579 --> 00:26:13.220
 even

00:26:13.220 --> 00:26:14.119
 cursed

00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:14.559
 by the

00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:15.059
 gods

00:26:15.059 --> 00:26:17.659
 family

00:26:17.659 --> 00:26:17.919
 was

00:26:17.919 --> 00:26:18.500
 everything

00:26:18.500 --> 00:26:19.200
 heritage

00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:19.700

00:26:19.700 --> 00:26:20.259
 everything

00:26:20.259 --> 00:26:21.000
 and so

00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:21.339
 they were

00:26:21.339 --> 00:26:21.619
 given

00:26:21.619 --> 00:26:22.379
 a low

 social

00:26:23.299 --> 00:26:24.319

00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:27.000
 God

00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:27.639
 saves

00:26:27.639 --> 00:26:28.399
 his

00:26:28.399 --> 00:26:28.779
 people

00:26:28.779 --> 00:26:29.059
 through

00:26:29.059 --> 00:26:29.519
 those

00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:29.740
 with

00:26:29.740 --> 00:26:30.019
 low

00:26:30.019 --> 00:26:30.399

00:26:30.399 --> 00:26:30.799
 women

00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:31.599
 who

00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:32.519
 courageously

00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:33.119
 obey

00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:33.679
 God

00:26:33.679 --> 00:26:34.839
 and not

00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:35.299
 the most

00:26:35.299 --> 00:26:35.659
 powerful

00:26:35.659 --> 00:26:35.980
 man

00:26:36.220 --> 00:26:36.500
 world

00:26:36.500 --> 00:26:38.679
 and then

00:26:38.679 --> 00:26:39.099
 you move

00:26:39.099 --> 00:26:39.599
 to Exodus

00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:40.419
 chapter 2

00:26:40.419 --> 00:26:41.200
 and we

00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:41.359
 have

00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:41.740
 Moses

00:26:41.740 --> 00:26:42.220
 mother

00:26:42.220 --> 00:26:42.899
 she

00:26:42.899 --> 00:26:43.139
 like

00:26:43.139 --> 00:26:43.339
 the

00:26:43.339 --> 00:26:43.720
 rest

00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:44.200
 was

00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:44.679
 commanded

00:26:44.679 --> 00:26:45.139
 to throw

00:26:45.139 --> 00:26:45.700
 her baby

00:26:45.700 --> 00:26:46.000
 son

00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:46.279
 into

00:26:46.279 --> 00:26:46.480
 the

00:26:46.480 --> 00:26:46.720
 river

00:26:46.720 --> 00:26:47.399
 and so

00:26:47.399 --> 00:26:47.599
 she

00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:48.039
 does

00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:48.659
 just

00:26:48.659 --> 00:26:49.000
 not

00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:49.339
 quite

00:26:49.339 --> 00:26:49.500
 the

00:26:49.500 --> 00:26:49.659
 way

00:26:49.659 --> 00:26:49.839
 that

00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:50.059
 Pharaoh

00:26:50.059 --> 00:26:50.299
 had

00:26:50.299 --> 00:26:50.419
 in

00:26:50.419 --> 00:26:50.779
 mind

00:26:50.779 --> 00:26:51.299
 put

00:26:51.299 --> 00:26:51.399
 him

00:26:51.399 --> 00:26:51.500
 in

00:26:51.500 --> 00:26:51.619
 his

00:26:51.619 --> 00:26:51.779
 own

00:26:51.779 --> 00:26:51.939
 little

00:26:51.939 --> 00:26:52.299
 boat

00:26:52.299 --> 00:26:52.899
 instead

00:26:52.900 --> 00:26:56.759
 and then

00:26:56.759 --> 00:26:57.000
 there's

00:26:57.000 --> 00:26:57.440
 Pharaoh's

00:26:57.440 --> 00:26:57.780
 daughter

00:26:57.780 --> 00:26:59.360
 she's

00:26:59.360 --> 00:26:59.500
 a

00:26:59.500 --> 00:27:00.040
 Gentile

00:27:00.040 --> 00:27:01.320
 she's

00:27:01.320 --> 00:27:01.900
 a racial

00:27:01.900 --> 00:27:02.320
 and a

00:27:02.320 --> 00:27:02.640
 religious

00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:03.380
 outsider

00:27:03.380 --> 00:27:04.560
 and surprisingly

00:27:04.560 --> 00:27:05.640
 she is

00:27:05.640 --> 00:27:06.340
 compassionate

00:27:06.340 --> 00:27:07.140
 and she

00:27:07.140 --> 00:27:07.820
 takes a

00:27:07.820 --> 00:27:08.460
 huge

00:27:08.460 --> 00:27:09.259
 risk

00:27:09.259 --> 00:27:10.759
 to

00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:11.780
 defy

00:27:11.780 --> 00:27:12.000
 her

00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:12.420
 father

00:27:12.420 --> 00:27:14.920
 God

00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:15.580
 uses

00:27:15.580 --> 00:27:15.940
 a

00:27:15.940 --> 00:27:16.960
 Gentile

00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:18.640
 to

00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:19.000
 save

00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:19.200
 his

00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:19.580
 people

00:27:19.579 --> 00:27:22.759
 when

00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:22.879
 you

00:27:22.879 --> 00:27:23.059
 look

00:27:23.059 --> 00:27:23.220
 at

00:27:23.220 --> 00:27:23.519
 chapters

00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:23.759
 1

00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:23.919
 and

00:27:23.919 --> 00:27:24.240
 2

00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:24.720
 what

00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:25.059
 is

00:27:25.059 --> 00:27:25.799
 remarkable

00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:26.559
 and

00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:26.699
 it

00:27:26.699 --> 00:27:26.899
 is

00:27:26.899 --> 00:27:27.240
 no

00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:27.879
 accident

00:27:27.879 --> 00:27:29.259
 that

00:27:29.259 --> 00:27:29.779
 Pharaoh

00:27:29.779 --> 00:27:30.480
 is

00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:30.819
 not

00:27:30.819 --> 00:27:31.419
 named

00:27:31.419 --> 00:27:34.379
 the

00:27:34.379 --> 00:27:34.599
 most

00:27:34.599 --> 00:27:35.039
 powerful

00:27:35.039 --> 00:27:35.500
 person

00:27:35.500 --> 00:27:35.720
 in the

00:27:35.720 --> 00:27:35.899
 world

00:27:35.899 --> 00:27:36.139
 at the

00:27:36.139 --> 00:27:36.519
 time

00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:36.720
 we

00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:36.960
 don't

00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:37.159
 know

00:27:37.159 --> 00:27:37.599
 exactly

00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:37.839
 who

00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:38.000
 he

00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:38.220
 is

00:27:38.220 --> 00:27:38.419
 it's

00:27:38.419 --> 00:27:38.799
 speculation

00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:39.179
 to

00:27:39.179 --> 00:27:39.339
 this

00:27:39.339 --> 00:27:39.699
 day

00:27:39.699 --> 00:27:44.439
 but

00:27:44.439 --> 00:27:44.599
 we

00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:44.819
 know

00:27:44.819 --> 00:27:45.179
 who

00:27:45.179 --> 00:27:46.539
 Shipra

00:27:46.539 --> 00:27:47.559
 and

00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:47.839
 Pua

00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:48.259
 are

00:27:48.259 --> 00:27:49.539
 3,000

00:27:49.539 --> 00:27:49.819
 years

00:27:49.819 --> 00:27:50.140
 later

00:27:50.140 --> 00:27:53.559
 God

00:27:53.559 --> 00:27:53.920
 works

00:27:53.920 --> 00:27:54.099
 with

00:27:54.099 --> 00:27:54.240
 the

00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:54.740
 nobodies

00:27:54.740 --> 00:27:54.900
 of

00:27:54.900 --> 00:27:55.079
 this

00:27:55.079 --> 00:27:55.379
 world

00:27:55.379 --> 00:27:55.599
 and

00:27:55.599 --> 00:27:55.740
 he

00:27:55.740 --> 00:27:55.960
 gives

00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:56.119
 them

00:27:56.119 --> 00:27:56.259
 a

00:27:56.259 --> 00:27:56.539
 name

00:27:56.539 --> 00:27:57.879
 and

00:27:57.879 --> 00:27:58.000
 he

00:27:58.000 --> 00:27:58.160
 can

00:27:58.160 --> 00:27:58.400
 give

00:27:58.400 --> 00:27:58.579
 you

00:27:58.579 --> 00:27:58.740
 a

00:27:58.740 --> 00:27:59.019
 name

00:27:59.019 --> 00:28:00.099
 a

00:28:00.099 --> 00:28:00.339
 name

00:28:00.339 --> 00:28:00.480
 that

00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:00.599
 will

00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:00.799
 never

00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:01.319
 perish

00:28:01.319 --> 00:28:01.960
 spoil

00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:02.339
 or

00:28:02.339 --> 00:28:02.759
 fade

00:28:02.759 --> 00:28:03.839
 disappear

00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:04.160
 into

00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:04.759
 oblivion

00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:05.640
 his

00:28:05.640 --> 00:28:06.119
 salvation

00:28:06.119 --> 00:28:06.599
 makes

00:28:06.599 --> 00:28:07.000
 you

00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:07.420
 a

00:28:07.420 --> 00:28:07.980
 somebody

00:28:07.980 --> 00:28:08.619
 forever

00:28:08.619 --> 00:28:10.039
 of

00:28:10.039 --> 00:28:10.279
 course

00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:11.279
 when

00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:11.519
 you

00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:11.740
 have

00:28:11.740 --> 00:28:12.339
 experienced

00:28:12.339 --> 00:28:12.700
 God's

00:28:12.700 --> 00:28:13.140
 salvation

00:28:13.140 --> 00:28:13.599
 and

00:28:13.599 --> 00:28:13.779
 you

00:28:13.779 --> 00:28:14.180
 become

00:28:14.180 --> 00:28:14.460
 a

00:28:14.460 --> 00:28:14.920
 somebody

00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:15.339
 in

00:28:15.339 --> 00:28:15.859
 him

00:28:15.859 --> 00:28:17.079
 you

00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:17.259
 have

00:28:17.259 --> 00:28:17.400
 been

00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:17.700
 set

00:28:17.700 --> 00:28:18.240
 free

00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:20.099
 and

00:28:20.099 --> 00:28:20.779
 elevated

00:28:20.779 --> 00:28:21.579
 the

00:28:21.579 --> 00:28:21.980
 power

00:28:21.980 --> 00:28:22.200
 of

00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:22.380
 that

00:28:22.380 --> 00:28:22.980
 transformation

00:28:22.980 --> 00:28:23.559
 in

00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:23.740
 your

00:28:23.740 --> 00:28:24.240
 life

00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:24.579
 means

00:28:24.579 --> 00:28:24.759
 that

00:28:24.759 --> 00:28:24.900
 you

00:28:24.900 --> 00:28:25.240
 work

00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:25.400
 for

00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:25.539
 the

00:28:25.539 --> 00:28:25.940
 marginalized

00:28:25.940 --> 00:28:26.240
 and

00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:26.339
 the

00:28:26.339 --> 00:28:26.859
 disadvantaged

00:28:26.859 --> 00:28:27.019
 and

00:28:27.019 --> 00:28:27.140
 the

00:28:27.140 --> 00:28:27.440
 powerless

00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:27.620
 and

00:28:27.620 --> 00:28:27.740
 the

00:28:27.740 --> 00:28:27.920
 poor

00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:28.039
 in

00:28:28.039 --> 00:28:28.200
 this

00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:28.500
 world

00:28:28.500 --> 00:28:31.339
 they're

00:28:31.339 --> 00:28:31.500
 not

00:28:31.500 --> 00:28:32.099
 nobodies

00:28:32.099 --> 00:28:37.339
 so

00:28:37.339 --> 00:28:37.599
 those

00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:37.720
 are

00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:37.839
 the

00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:38.059
 three

00:28:38.059 --> 00:28:38.579
 principles

00:28:38.579 --> 00:28:38.740
 of

00:28:38.740 --> 00:28:39.160
 salvation

00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:39.339
 that

00:28:39.339 --> 00:28:39.460
 we

00:28:39.460 --> 00:28:39.720
 see

00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:40.079
 here

00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:42.019
 serving

00:28:42.019 --> 00:28:42.500
 anything

00:28:42.500 --> 00:28:42.779
 but

00:28:42.779 --> 00:28:43.059
 God

00:28:43.059 --> 00:28:43.259
 is

00:28:43.259 --> 00:28:43.799
 slavery

00:28:43.799 --> 00:28:45.480
 God

00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:45.640
 is

00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:46.079
 always

00:28:46.079 --> 00:28:46.299
 at

00:28:46.299 --> 00:28:46.539
 work

00:28:46.539 --> 00:28:46.680
 in

00:28:46.680 --> 00:28:46.799
 the

00:28:46.799 --> 00:28:47.059
 hard

00:28:47.059 --> 00:28:47.700
 times

00:28:47.700 --> 00:28:48.740
 preparing

00:28:48.740 --> 00:28:49.000
 you

00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:49.160
 for

00:28:49.160 --> 00:28:49.700
 salvation

00:28:49.700 --> 00:28:50.779
 and

00:28:50.779 --> 00:28:50.960
 his

00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:51.460
 salvation

00:28:51.460 --> 00:28:52.039
 comes

00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:52.279
 through

00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:52.519
 the

00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:53.100
 outsider

00:28:53.100 --> 00:28:53.420
 for

00:28:53.420 --> 00:28:53.620
 the

00:28:53.620 --> 00:28:54.120
 outsider

00:28:54.120 --> 00:28:56.039
 now

00:28:56.039 --> 00:28:56.220
 there's

00:28:56.220 --> 00:28:56.539
 one more

00:28:56.539 --> 00:28:56.740
 thing

 left it

00:28:59.539 --> 00:28:59.940

00:29:01.700 --> 00:29:01.980
 I could

00:29:01.980 --> 00:29:02.279

00:29:09.460 --> 00:29:09.640
 would

00:29:09.640 --> 00:29:09.860
 now

00:29:09.860 --> 00:29:10.060
 be

 Christianity

00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:42.920
 Christianity

00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:43.279
 will boil

00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:43.640
 down to

00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:43.840
 my

00:33:43.840 --> 00:33:44.220
 effort

00:33:44.220 --> 00:33:45.460
 and

00:33:45.460 --> 00:33:45.620
 we'll

00:33:45.620 --> 00:33:45.799
 either

00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:46.019
 feel

00:33:46.019 --> 00:33:46.559
 guilty

00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:47.019
 for

00:33:47.019 --> 00:33:47.220
 not

00:33:47.220 --> 00:33:47.660
 performing

00:33:47.660 --> 00:33:48.440
 or

00:33:48.440 --> 00:33:48.740
 feel

00:33:48.740 --> 00:33:49.380
 proud

00:33:49.380 --> 00:33:49.860
 because

00:33:49.860 --> 00:33:50.080
 we're

00:33:50.080 --> 00:33:50.340
 doing

00:33:50.340 --> 00:33:50.660
 a whole

00:33:50.660 --> 00:33:50.819
 lot

00:33:50.819 --> 00:33:51.019
 better

00:33:51.019 --> 00:33:51.220
 than

00:33:51.220 --> 00:33:51.480
 everyone

00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:51.900
 else

00:33:51.900 --> 00:33:53.360
 and

00:33:53.360 --> 00:33:53.519
 when

00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:53.680
 we

00:33:53.680 --> 00:33:53.900
 do

00:33:53.900 --> 00:33:54.140
 that

00:33:54.140 --> 00:33:54.340
 we

00:33:54.340 --> 00:33:54.799
 become

00:33:54.799 --> 00:33:55.080
 our

00:33:55.080 --> 00:33:55.420
 own

00:33:55.420 --> 00:33:56.000
 liberator

00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:56.580
 we

00:33:56.580 --> 00:33:56.880
 become

00:33:56.880 --> 00:33:57.080
 our

00:33:57.080 --> 00:33:57.420
 own

00:33:57.420 --> 00:33:58.039
 rescuer

00:33:58.039 --> 00:33:58.519
 our

00:33:58.519 --> 00:33:58.980
 own

00:33:58.980 --> 00:33:59.840
 savior

00:33:59.840 --> 00:34:00.700
 because

00:34:00.700 --> 00:34:01.120
 we

00:34:01.120 --> 00:34:01.500
 trust

00:34:01.500 --> 00:34:01.660
 in

00:34:01.660 --> 00:34:01.840
 our

00:34:01.840 --> 00:34:02.259

00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:04.080
 and

00:34:04.080 --> 00:34:04.440
 therefore

00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:05.279
 ultimately

00:34:05.279 --> 00:34:05.599
 we

00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:05.759
 will

00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:05.960
 be

00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:06.539
 crushed

00:34:06.539 --> 00:34:07.180
 by

00:34:07.180 --> 00:34:07.379
 our

00:34:07.379 --> 00:34:07.700
 own

00:34:07.700 --> 00:34:08.239
 service

00:34:08.239 --> 00:34:09.019
 it

00:34:09.019 --> 00:34:09.199
 will

00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:09.519
 never

00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:09.880
 ever

00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:10.139
 be

00:34:10.139 --> 00:34:10.579
 enough

00:34:10.579 --> 00:34:12.019
 without

00:34:12.019 --> 00:34:12.500
 Jesus

00:34:12.500 --> 00:34:12.900
 as the

00:34:12.900 --> 00:34:13.380
 liberator

00:34:13.380 --> 00:34:13.619
 the

00:34:13.619 --> 00:34:13.980
 savior

00:34:13.980 --> 00:34:14.199
 the

00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:14.679
 rescuer

00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:15.300
 then

00:34:15.300 --> 00:34:15.679
 our

00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:16.380
 suffering

00:34:16.380 --> 00:34:17.259
 will

00:34:17.259 --> 00:34:17.599
 either

00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:18.099
 break

00:34:18.099 --> 00:34:18.539
 us

00:34:18.539 --> 00:34:19.599
 or

00:34:19.599 --> 00:34:19.860
 it

00:34:19.860 --> 00:34:20.039
 will

00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:20.320
 turn

00:34:20.320 --> 00:34:20.579
 us

00:34:20.579 --> 00:34:21.000
 into

00:34:21.000 --> 00:34:21.440
 a

00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:21.980
 stoic

00:34:22.759 --> 00:34:28.960
 stoicism

00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:30.840
 can I

00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:31.239
 say

00:34:31.239 --> 00:34:34.300
 is

00:34:34.300 --> 00:34:34.619
 not

00:34:34.619 --> 00:34:35.199
 maturity

00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:35.419
 it

00:34:35.419 --> 00:34:36.599
 it

00:34:36.599 --> 00:34:36.679
 is

00:34:36.679 --> 00:34:36.799
 a

00:34:36.799 --> 00:34:37.239
 weakness

00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:41.419
 we

00:34:41.419 --> 00:34:41.599
 need

00:34:41.599 --> 00:34:41.739
 to

00:34:41.739 --> 00:34:41.939
 see

00:34:41.939 --> 00:34:42.339
 Jesus

00:34:42.339 --> 00:34:42.579
 who

00:34:42.579 --> 00:34:42.960
 suffered

00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:43.239
 for

00:34:43.239 --> 00:34:43.679
 us

00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:45.019
 suffered

00:34:45.019 --> 00:34:45.559
 because

00:34:45.559 --> 00:34:45.759
 of

 Jesus

00:35:15.299 --> 00:35:16.679
 letting

00:35:16.679 --> 00:35:17.119
 go

00:35:17.119 --> 00:35:17.399
 of

 power

00:35:17.879 --> 00:35:18.259
 and

00:35:18.259 --> 00:35:18.679
 dying

00:35:18.679 --> 00:35:19.019
 on

 the

 cross

00:35:19.599 --> 00:35:20.339
 his

00:35:20.339 --> 00:35:20.879
 salvation

00:35:20.879 --> 00:35:21.480
 is

00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:21.799
 brought

00:35:21.799 --> 00:35:22.219
 into

00:35:22.219 --> 00:35:22.559
 our

00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:22.980
 life

00:35:22.980 --> 00:35:23.179
 when

00:35:23.179 --> 00:35:23.359
 we

00:35:23.359 --> 00:35:23.839
 acknowledge

00:35:23.839 --> 00:35:24.079
 that

00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:24.239
 we

00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:24.420
 are

00:35:24.420 --> 00:35:24.920
 weak

00:35:24.920 --> 00:35:25.460
 that

00:35:25.460 --> 00:35:25.639
 we

00:35:25.639 --> 00:35:25.839
 are

00:35:25.839 --> 00:35:26.319
 poor

00:35:26.319 --> 00:35:26.759
 that

00:35:26.759 --> 00:35:26.980
 we

00:35:26.980 --> 00:35:27.159
 are

00:35:27.159 --> 00:35:27.799
 marginalized

00:35:27.799 --> 00:35:28.259
 that

00:35:28.259 --> 00:35:28.399
 we

00:35:28.399 --> 00:35:28.539
 are

00:35:28.539 --> 00:35:29.019
 broken

00:35:29.019 --> 00:35:29.279
 and

00:35:29.279 --> 00:35:29.420
 we

00:35:29.420 --> 00:35:29.739
 need

00:35:29.739 --> 00:35:30.000
 his

00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:30.420
 grace

00:35:30.420 --> 00:35:30.839
 when

00:35:30.839 --> 00:35:31.059
 we

00:35:31.059 --> 00:35:31.599
 realize

00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:31.899
 that

00:35:31.899 --> 00:35:32.119
 we

00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:32.359
 are

00:35:32.359 --> 00:35:32.799
 loved

00:35:32.799 --> 00:35:33.039
 and

00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:33.219
 we

00:35:33.219 --> 00:35:33.399
 are

00:35:33.399 --> 00:35:33.960
 accepted

00:35:33.960 --> 00:35:35.539
 though

00:35:35.539 --> 00:35:35.879
 we

00:35:35.879 --> 00:35:36.099
 are

00:35:36.099 --> 00:35:36.879
 unlovable

00:35:36.879 --> 00:35:37.819
 and

00:35:37.819 --> 00:35:38.000
 we

00:35:38.000 --> 00:35:38.179
 are

00:35:38.179 --> 00:35:39.039
 unworthy

00:35:39.039 --> 00:35:40.519
 until

00:35:40.519 --> 00:35:40.759
 we

00:35:40.759 --> 00:35:41.159
 fully

00:35:41.159 --> 00:35:41.679
 grasp

00:35:41.679 --> 00:35:42.039
 that

00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:42.259
 can

00:35:42.259 --> 00:35:42.440
 we

00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:42.819
 move

00:35:42.819 --> 00:35:43.399
 out

00:35:43.399 --> 00:35:43.879
 to

00:35:43.879 --> 00:35:44.119
 help

00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:44.299
 the

00:35:44.299 --> 00:35:44.699
 vulnerable

00:35:44.699 --> 00:35:45.559
 from

00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:45.739
 a

00:35:45.739 --> 00:35:46.500
 genuine

00:35:46.500 --> 00:35:47.099
 place

00:35:47.099 --> 00:35:47.359
 of

00:35:47.359 --> 00:35:47.839
 identifying

00:35:47.839 --> 00:35:48.359
 with

00:35:48.359 --> 00:35:48.599
 them

00:35:48.599 --> 00:35:49.119
 rather

00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:49.299
 than

00:35:49.299 --> 00:35:49.799
 elevating

00:35:49.799 --> 00:35:50.239
 ourselves

00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:50.679
 over

00:35:50.679 --> 00:35:50.940
 them

00:35:50.940 --> 00:35:53.659
 it

00:35:53.659 --> 00:35:53.960
 means

00:35:53.960 --> 00:35:54.299
 therefore

00:35:54.299 --> 00:35:54.500
 that

00:35:54.500 --> 00:35:54.619
 you

00:35:54.619 --> 00:35:54.779
 will

00:35:54.779 --> 00:35:55.000
 treat

00:35:55.000 --> 00:35:55.199
 them

00:35:55.199 --> 00:35:55.500
 well

00:35:55.500 --> 00:35:58.159
 only

00:35:58.159 --> 00:35:58.440
 when

00:35:58.440 --> 00:35:58.599
 we

00:35:58.599 --> 00:35:58.799
 see

00:35:58.799 --> 00:35:59.019
 the

00:35:59.019 --> 00:35:59.659
 person

00:35:59.659 --> 00:36:00.179
 to

00:36:00.179 --> 00:36:00.500
 whom
