00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.980
 I like that translation of Ephesians 1.10 we heard talked about God's purpose.

00:00:09.040 --> 00:00:15.960
 Another rendering of that word is in the ESV.

00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:19.699
 And it translated it like this.

00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:28.719
 A plan, purpose, a plan for the fullness of time to unite all things in him in Christ.

00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:32.820
 Things in heaven and things on earth.

00:00:36.659 --> 00:00:46.460
 Shortly after we were married, I thought it good to take my wife to Ireland, Northern Ireland,

00:00:47.379 --> 00:00:51.780
 so she had some idea where this wild man that she let into her life had come from.

00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:57.159
 Meet some of my relatives. I chose some of the less wild ones.

00:00:58.719 --> 00:00:59.780
 It was difficult.

00:01:02.839 --> 00:01:10.000
 So my Aunt Kathleen and my Uncle Stanley met us at the airport and drove us 80 miles to their home.

00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:14.480
 Our journey took us through the little town of Antrim.

00:01:15.019 --> 00:01:16.480
 I don't know if any of you know the province.

00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:25.960
 And as we drove down the main street, Sue, my wife, noting the red, white and blue bunting,

00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:31.380
 the union flags fluttering from shops and homes,

00:01:31.379 --> 00:01:37.519
 and the fact that somebody had painted the curb stones red, white and blue,

00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:42.859
 asked if the town was still celebrating the Jubilee.

00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.539
 I'm afraid there was sniggering from the paddies.

00:01:48.540 --> 00:01:58.120
 So when she asked why, we told her that no, the colours and the flags were there to, as it were,

00:01:58.219 --> 00:02:04.260
 underline the tribal identity of the population of the town.

00:02:04.260 --> 00:02:12.840
 A few miles down the road, over the Glenchain Pass, we came into the nationalist town of Dungiven.

00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:16.120
 Different colours there.

00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:18.439
 Different flags.

00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:23.120
 The green and white and saffron of the flag of the Irish Republic.

00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:31.900
 So in that small patch of land, beautiful as it is,

00:02:33.420 --> 00:02:39.480
 people who look exactly the same, speak the same accent,

00:02:41.700 --> 00:02:43.840
 share much of the same history,

00:02:45.340 --> 00:02:52.020
 adhere to actually very slightly different branches of the same Christian faith.

00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:54.759
 people who look at the same,

00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:55.659
 were stressing,

00:02:57.020 --> 00:02:59.060
 as I'm afraid they still stress,

00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:02.360
 the things that divide them,

00:03:03.700 --> 00:03:07.280
 that make them diverse from one another,

00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:11.480
 rather than what unites them.

00:03:14.099 --> 00:03:17.120
 Is it just my personal history

00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:20.540
 that makes me raise my eyebrows

00:03:20.539 --> 00:03:22.679
 when people

00:03:22.679 --> 00:03:28.259
 say, as if it were totally self-evident,

00:03:28.819 --> 00:03:30.079
 diversity is good?

00:03:33.019 --> 00:03:34.079
 Up to a point,

00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:35.319
 Lord Copper.

00:03:39.180 --> 00:03:41.319
 When Paul wrote Ephesians,

00:03:41.459 --> 00:03:42.079
 and by the way,

00:03:42.139 --> 00:03:43.739
 I am of course aware of the arguments

00:03:43.739 --> 00:03:44.899
 that he didn't write it,

00:03:44.959 --> 00:03:45.840
 but the disciple did,

00:03:45.899 --> 00:03:46.859
 I just don't agree with them.

00:03:46.860 --> 00:03:50.000
 When Paul wrote Ephesians,

00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:53.160
 there was a lot of diversity,

00:03:55.200 --> 00:03:58.940
 religious, cultural, and social,

00:03:59.480 --> 00:04:00.180
 around him.

00:04:01.380 --> 00:04:03.280
 The Romans had brought together

00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.660
 people from very different backgrounds

00:04:06.660 --> 00:04:08.300
 into their great empire.

00:04:09.740 --> 00:04:10.820
 And by and large, you see,

00:04:10.920 --> 00:04:13.560
 Rome was pretty good at managing all this.

00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:16.240
 A mixture of tolerance,

00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:17.920
 sort of saying,

00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:19.399
 well, your god Sulla,

00:04:19.660 --> 00:04:21.180
 that they worship in Bath,

00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:23.939
 is just the same as our god Minerva,

00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:24.939
 same goddess,

00:04:25.459 --> 00:04:26.019
 just, you know,

00:04:26.100 --> 00:04:26.800
 different name,

00:04:27.620 --> 00:04:28.360
 the whole thing they did.

00:04:31.259 --> 00:04:31.699
 And,

00:04:31.779 --> 00:04:34.220
 stamping down hard,

00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:36.319
 very hard,

00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:39.800
 if diversity threatened

00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:41.620
 the Roman peace.

00:04:44.020 --> 00:04:44.579
 So,

00:04:44.819 --> 00:04:45.199
 Greeks,

00:04:45.420 --> 00:04:46.939
 and Gauls,

00:04:47.220 --> 00:04:48.060
 Numidians,

00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:49.460
 and Nabataeans,

00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:51.579
 all rubbed along together

00:04:51.579 --> 00:04:52.400
 fairly well,

00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:53.720
 as long as

00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:55.680
 everybody knew

00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:56.639
 who was in charge.

00:04:58.420 --> 00:04:58.580
 Yeah.

00:04:59.340 --> 00:05:00.660
 Burn a bit of incense

00:05:00.660 --> 00:05:02.160
 to Caesar in your temple.

00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:04.319
 Do what they tell you.

00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:06.800
 It'll all work out.

00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:09.639
 However,

00:05:09.960 --> 00:05:12.800
 in Paul's time,

00:05:13.540 --> 00:05:15.600
 there was one particular

00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:17.139
 diverse group

00:05:17.139 --> 00:05:18.139
 in the empire,

00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:19.540
 which,

00:05:20.819 --> 00:05:21.220
 yeah,

00:05:21.620 --> 00:05:23.120
 made for big problems.

00:05:24.620 --> 00:05:26.000
 The group

00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:27.879
 Paul himself

00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:30.160
 had been born into.

00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:33.519
 The Jewish people.

00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:37.459
 There were a lot of them,

00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:39.259
 perhaps one in ten

00:05:39.259 --> 00:05:40.539
 of the entire population

00:05:40.539 --> 00:05:41.199
 of the empire.

00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:43.519
 They were found

00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:44.560
 everywhere in it,

00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:46.919
 only in Judea,

00:05:47.159 --> 00:05:47.799
 around Jerusalem,

00:05:47.939 --> 00:05:48.560
 and in Galilee,

00:05:48.740 --> 00:05:49.299
 the majority.

00:05:51.139 --> 00:05:51.579
 But,

00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:52.399
 they formed

00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:53.579
 big minorities

00:05:53.579 --> 00:05:54.139
 elsewhere.

00:05:54.579 --> 00:05:54.819
 I mean,

00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:55.259
 for instance,

00:05:55.379 --> 00:05:56.159
 in Alexandria,

00:05:56.500 --> 00:05:56.899
 which was

00:05:56.899 --> 00:05:58.279
 the biggest city

00:05:58.279 --> 00:05:58.979
 in the empire,

00:05:59.099 --> 00:06:00.399
 apart from Rome itself,

00:06:00.819 --> 00:06:01.979
 they were one in three

00:06:01.979 --> 00:06:02.819
 of the population

00:06:02.819 --> 00:06:03.540
 were Jewish.

00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:08.420
 There were a lot of them,

00:06:08.939 --> 00:06:10.659
 and both what they believed

00:06:10.659 --> 00:06:11.959
 and what they did

00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:14.599
 was so different

00:06:14.599 --> 00:06:15.579
 from the rest

00:06:15.579 --> 00:06:16.379
 of the empire,

00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:18.180
 it was difficult

00:06:18.180 --> 00:06:19.579
 for them to be

00:06:19.579 --> 00:06:20.680
 sort of assimilated.

00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:23.079
 It wasn't just

00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:24.339
 that they only believed

00:06:24.339 --> 00:06:25.219
 in one God,

00:06:25.620 --> 00:06:26.100
 a God

00:06:26.100 --> 00:06:27.420
 who you couldn't

00:06:27.420 --> 00:06:28.439
 make an idol of,

00:06:29.500 --> 00:06:29.899
 and

00:06:29.899 --> 00:06:30.800
 they sort of

00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:31.819
 rather looked down

00:06:31.819 --> 00:06:32.339
 on the people

00:06:32.339 --> 00:06:33.139
 who had lots

00:06:33.139 --> 00:06:33.759
 of gods

00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:35.540
 and worshipped

00:06:35.540 --> 00:06:36.319
 them in idols

00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:37.300
 and thought,

00:06:37.540 --> 00:06:37.779
 actually,

00:06:37.939 --> 00:06:39.159
 that they were

00:06:39.159 --> 00:06:40.079
 all sinful.

00:06:41.579 --> 00:06:42.699
 It wasn't just that,

00:06:42.779 --> 00:06:43.360
 it's the stuff

00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:44.019
 they did.

00:06:44.459 --> 00:06:44.659
 You know,

00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:45.159
 they had a different

00:06:45.159 --> 00:06:45.639
 calendar.

00:06:47.019 --> 00:06:47.159
 You know,

00:06:47.159 --> 00:06:47.959
 we're so used to

00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:49.240
 a week and a day

00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:49.920
 of rest at the end

00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:50.199
 of it,

00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:50.759
 we don't realise

00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:51.899
 how unusual that was

00:06:51.899 --> 00:06:52.719
 in the ancient world.

00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:54.200
 And then there were

00:06:54.200 --> 00:06:54.860
 the foods they

00:06:54.860 --> 00:06:55.560
 wouldn't eat.

00:06:56.940 --> 00:06:57.280
 Bacon,

00:06:57.440 --> 00:06:57.960
 for instance.

00:06:59.180 --> 00:06:59.300
 Yeah?

00:07:01.460 --> 00:07:02.040
 And then,

00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:02.460
 of course,

00:07:02.580 --> 00:07:04.920
 it was common

00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:05.460
 knowledge that

00:07:05.460 --> 00:07:06.180
 their menfolk

00:07:06.180 --> 00:07:07.620
 were mutilated

00:07:07.620 --> 00:07:08.720
 in a certain way

00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:09.480
 as babies.

00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:10.760
 It seemed

00:07:10.760 --> 00:07:11.380
 very odd.

00:07:14.140 --> 00:07:14.700
 So,

00:07:14.940 --> 00:07:16.140
 problems.

00:07:16.139 --> 00:07:16.300
 problems.

00:07:17.860 --> 00:07:20.000
 And the Jews

00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:20.860
 were marching

00:07:20.860 --> 00:07:21.939
 to a different

00:07:21.939 --> 00:07:22.719
 beat from

00:07:22.719 --> 00:07:23.599
 everybody else

00:07:23.599 --> 00:07:25.899
 and march

00:07:25.899 --> 00:07:26.939
 they did.

00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:29.899
 For instance,

00:07:30.019 --> 00:07:30.500
 when a Roman

00:07:30.500 --> 00:07:32.099
 official tried

00:07:32.099 --> 00:07:32.659
 to put up

00:07:32.659 --> 00:07:33.719
 statues of the

00:07:33.719 --> 00:07:34.199
 emperor

00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:36.519
 in the synagogues

00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:37.399
 in Alexandria,

00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:40.839
 a violent

00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:42.299
 revolt ensued

00:07:42.299 --> 00:07:43.479
 and the whole

00:07:43.479 --> 00:07:44.179
 city was

00:07:44.179 --> 00:07:45.459
 convulsed

00:07:45.459 --> 00:07:46.479
 and in flames

00:07:46.479 --> 00:07:48.079
 for months.

00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:51.319
 And,

00:07:51.419 --> 00:07:51.719
 of course,

00:07:52.039 --> 00:07:54.120
 shortly after

00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:54.719
 Paul's death

00:07:54.719 --> 00:07:55.599
 in AD 66,

00:07:55.859 --> 00:07:56.919
 a great revolt

00:07:56.919 --> 00:07:58.060
 broke out

00:07:58.060 --> 00:07:59.879
 in Judea.

00:08:01.159 --> 00:08:02.079
 Four years

00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:02.819
 it took the Romans

00:08:02.819 --> 00:08:03.259
 to bring it

00:08:03.259 --> 00:08:03.879
 under control.

00:08:05.419 --> 00:08:06.379
 And it ended

00:08:06.379 --> 00:08:07.159
 with the destruction

00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:07.820
 of Jerusalem

00:08:07.820 --> 00:08:09.000
 and its great

00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:09.320
 temple.

00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:13.640
 Well,

00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:14.280
 you may say,

00:08:14.340 --> 00:08:14.720
 this is all

00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:15.360
 very helpful

00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:16.300
 for the pub quiz,

00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:16.640
 Peter.

00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:17.500
 Thank you very much

00:08:17.500 --> 00:08:18.000
 for the history

00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:18.420
 lecture.

00:08:21.100 --> 00:08:21.700
 What's it got

00:08:21.700 --> 00:08:22.040
 to do with

00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:22.620
 Ephesians?

00:08:26.340 --> 00:08:27.120
 To answer that,

00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:27.480
 we've got to

00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:28.000
 get inside

00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:29.200
 Paul's head

00:08:29.200 --> 00:08:32.700
 as almost

00:08:32.700 --> 00:08:33.180
 certainly

00:08:33.180 --> 00:08:34.480
 towards the

00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:35.120
 end of his

00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:35.580
 life

00:08:35.580 --> 00:08:37.560
 ministry

00:08:37.560 --> 00:08:39.200
 in prison

00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:40.639
 in Rome,

00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:43.360
 he decides

00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:44.139
 to send out

00:08:44.139 --> 00:08:44.800
 this letter.

00:08:46.020 --> 00:08:46.980
 Almost certainly

00:08:46.980 --> 00:08:48.000
 not just

00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:48.879
 to the Ephesians,

00:08:49.040 --> 00:08:49.360
 actually.

00:08:50.680 --> 00:08:51.180
 There are some

00:08:51.180 --> 00:08:52.020
 manuscripts of the letter

00:08:52.020 --> 00:08:52.820
 which don't say

00:08:52.820 --> 00:08:54.020
 Ephesus.

00:08:55.300 --> 00:08:55.840
 No,

00:08:55.920 --> 00:08:56.259
 it was almost

00:08:56.259 --> 00:08:56.500
 certainly

00:08:56.500 --> 00:08:57.560
 a circular

00:08:57.560 --> 00:08:58.139
 letter

00:08:58.139 --> 00:09:00.120
 he sent out

00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:00.780
 to all

00:09:00.779 --> 00:09:01.339
 the churches

00:09:01.339 --> 00:09:01.899
 he knew.

00:09:05.939 --> 00:09:06.740
 And in it

00:09:06.740 --> 00:09:07.519
 he sets out,

00:09:07.579 --> 00:09:07.899
 as I said,

00:09:07.939 --> 00:09:08.299
 at the end

00:09:08.299 --> 00:09:08.819
 of his life,

00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:09.480
 thinking it

00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:10.039
 all through,

00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:13.120
 what has

00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:13.799
 God been

00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:14.980
 showing me

00:09:14.980 --> 00:09:17.000
 about Jesus

00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:18.079
 and then

00:09:18.079 --> 00:09:18.579
 what the

00:09:18.579 --> 00:09:19.199
 gospel is

00:09:19.199 --> 00:09:19.779
 all about?

00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:21.759
 Ephesians

00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:22.679
 is Paul's

00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:23.879
 big reveal.

00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:25.679
 That's why

00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:26.179
 it's so

00:09:26.179 --> 00:09:26.720
 wonderful

00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:27.079
 that you're

00:09:27.079 --> 00:09:27.860
 exploring it.

00:09:27.860 --> 00:09:30.120
 You know,

00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:30.419
 the other

00:09:30.419 --> 00:09:30.700
 letters,

00:09:30.820 --> 00:09:31.340
 like to Rome

00:09:31.340 --> 00:09:31.860
 and Corinth

00:09:31.860 --> 00:09:32.500
 and Galatia,

00:09:32.820 --> 00:09:33.399
 he writes

00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:33.879
 to address

00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:35.519
 particular issues

00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:36.200
 and then

00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:37.000
 the deep

00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:38.080
 stuff comes

00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:38.919
 with that.

00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:39.980
 But here

00:09:39.980 --> 00:09:40.720
 he just

00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:41.120
 wants to

00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:41.399
 say,

00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:42.139
 this is

00:09:42.139 --> 00:09:42.580
 what it's

00:09:42.580 --> 00:09:43.279
 all about.

00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:46.399
 And what

00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:46.700
 is it?

00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:47.159
 This big

00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:47.620
 theme?

00:09:48.379 --> 00:09:48.659
 Well,

00:09:48.800 --> 00:09:49.399
 it's spelled

00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:49.899
 out in

00:09:49.899 --> 00:09:50.659
 that last

00:09:50.659 --> 00:09:51.039
 verse.

00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:53.399
 God's

00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:53.840
 purpose,

00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:55.120
 his plan

00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:56.200
 for the

00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:56.600
 fullness

00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:57.659
 of time

00:09:57.659 --> 00:09:59.500
 to unite

00:09:59.500 --> 00:10:00.519
 all

00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:01.539
 things

00:10:01.539 --> 00:10:02.000
 in

00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:02.799
 Christ,

00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:04.580
 things

00:10:04.580 --> 00:10:05.399
 in heaven

00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:07.019
 and things

00:10:07.019 --> 00:10:07.639
 on earth.

00:10:10.100 --> 00:10:10.659
 A big

00:10:10.659 --> 00:10:10.980
 word,

00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:11.759
 purpose,

00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:12.980
 plan

00:10:12.980 --> 00:10:14.600
 and

00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:15.200
 unity.

00:10:17.100 --> 00:10:17.980
 God

00:10:17.980 --> 00:10:18.419
 has a

00:10:18.419 --> 00:10:18.940
 plan,

00:10:20.019 --> 00:10:21.519
 a great

00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:22.100
 plan,

00:10:23.700 --> 00:10:24.620
 staggering,

00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:26.240
 breathtaking

00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:27.639
 in its

00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:28.179
 scope

00:10:28.179 --> 00:10:29.480
 and reach.

00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:34.679
 What is

00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:34.899
 it?

00:10:35.419 --> 00:10:36.500
 To

00:10:36.500 --> 00:10:37.159
 unite

00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:38.500
 all

00:10:38.500 --> 00:10:39.519
 things

00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:40.480
 in

00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:41.159
 Christ.

00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:43.039
 To

00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:43.379
 bring

00:10:43.379 --> 00:10:43.919
 together

00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:44.600
 and

00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:45.399
 restore

00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:46.779
 everything

00:10:46.779 --> 00:10:47.940
 and

00:10:47.940 --> 00:10:48.560
 everyone

00:10:48.560 --> 00:10:49.960
 that has

00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:50.180
 been

00:10:50.180 --> 00:10:50.919
 divided,

00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:52.399
 pushed

00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:53.080
 apart

00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:54.060
 by

00:10:54.060 --> 00:10:54.519
 sin.

00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:59.560
 And

00:10:59.560 --> 00:10:59.700
 this

00:10:59.700 --> 00:10:59.940
 plan

00:10:59.940 --> 00:11:00.139
 to

00:11:00.139 --> 00:11:00.679
 unite

00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:00.940
 all

00:11:00.940 --> 00:11:01.240
 things

00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:01.379
 and

00:11:01.379 --> 00:11:01.580
 all

00:11:01.580 --> 00:11:01.860
 people

00:11:01.860 --> 00:11:02.259
 had

00:11:02.259 --> 00:11:02.480
 been

00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:02.679
 a

00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:03.100
 complete

00:11:03.100 --> 00:11:04.179
 surprise

00:11:04.179 --> 00:11:04.980
 to

00:11:04.980 --> 00:11:05.620
 Paul

00:11:05.620 --> 00:11:06.179
 when

00:11:06.179 --> 00:11:06.460
 many

00:11:06.460 --> 00:11:06.879
 years

00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:07.080
 ago

00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:07.259
 he

00:11:07.259 --> 00:11:07.639
 first

00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:07.960
 began

00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:08.120
 to

00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:08.259
 get

00:11:08.259 --> 00:11:08.399
 his

00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:08.620
 head

00:11:08.620 --> 00:11:08.940
 around

00:11:08.940 --> 00:11:09.220
 it.

00:11:10.460 --> 00:11:10.940
 He

00:11:10.940 --> 00:11:11.240
 calls

00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:11.340
 it

00:11:11.340 --> 00:11:11.440
 in

00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:11.580
 verse

00:11:11.580 --> 00:11:11.799
 nine

00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:12.019
 a

00:11:12.019 --> 00:11:12.399
 secret.

00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:12.700
 He

00:11:12.700 --> 00:11:13.100
 actually

00:11:13.100 --> 00:11:13.399
 uses

00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:13.580
 the

00:11:13.580 --> 00:11:13.779
 Greek

00:11:13.779 --> 00:11:14.000
 word

00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:14.740
 mysterion

00:11:14.740 --> 00:11:15.779
 which

00:11:15.779 --> 00:11:16.560
 is

00:11:16.560 --> 00:11:16.720
 our

00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:16.899
 word

00:11:16.899 --> 00:11:17.240
 mystery

00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:17.440
 isn't

00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:17.639
 it?

00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:18.879
 It's

00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:18.980
 a

00:11:18.980 --> 00:11:19.299
 mystery,

00:11:19.419 --> 00:11:19.500
 a

00:11:19.500 --> 00:11:19.799
 secret.

00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:22.319
 You

00:11:22.319 --> 00:11:22.500
 see

00:11:22.500 --> 00:11:23.099
 as Paul

00:11:23.099 --> 00:11:23.579
 tells us

00:11:23.579 --> 00:11:23.979
 in another

00:11:23.979 --> 00:11:24.519
 letter to

00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:24.679
 the

00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:25.259
 Philippians

00:11:25.259 --> 00:11:27.859
 he

00:11:27.859 --> 00:11:28.099
 had

00:11:28.099 --> 00:11:28.419
 been

00:11:28.419 --> 00:11:30.079
 before

00:11:30.079 --> 00:11:30.419
 he

00:11:30.419 --> 00:11:30.839
 met

00:11:30.839 --> 00:11:31.279
 the

00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:31.579
 risen

00:11:31.579 --> 00:11:32.159
 Lord

00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:32.740
 Jesus

00:11:32.740 --> 00:11:34.479
 the

00:11:34.479 --> 00:11:35.240
 most

00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:36.059
 Jewish

00:11:36.059 --> 00:11:37.019
 Jew

00:11:37.019 --> 00:11:37.699
 you

00:11:37.699 --> 00:11:37.959
 could

00:11:37.959 --> 00:11:38.639
 imagine

00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:41.539
 circumcised

00:11:41.539 --> 00:11:42.439
 on the

00:11:42.439 --> 00:11:42.799
 eighth

00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:43.219
 day

00:11:43.219 --> 00:11:43.879
 of the

00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:44.299
 people

00:11:44.299 --> 00:11:45.000
 of Israel

00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:45.620
 of the

00:11:45.620 --> 00:11:46.179
 tribe

00:11:46.179 --> 00:11:46.399
 of

00:11:49.620 --> 00:11:50.080
 Hebrews

00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:51.240
 if

00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:51.519
 Paul

00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:51.639
 had

00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:51.759
 been

00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:51.940
 a

 stick

00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:52.280
 of

00:11:52.280 --> 00:11:52.500
 rock

00:11:52.500 --> 00:11:53.500

00:11:53.500 --> 00:11:53.600
 get

00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:53.720
 at

00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:53.840
 the

00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:54.379
 seaside

00:11:54.379 --> 00:11:57.100
 he'd

00:11:57.100 --> 00:11:57.280
 been

00:11:57.280 --> 00:11:57.920
 kosher

00:11:57.920 --> 00:11:58.300
 all

00:11:58.300 --> 00:11:58.420
 the

00:11:58.420 --> 00:11:58.620
 way

00:11:58.620 --> 00:11:58.920
 through

00:11:58.920 --> 00:12:02.740
 and

00:12:02.740 --> 00:12:03.019
 as a

00:12:03.019 --> 00:12:03.280
 proud

00:12:03.280 --> 00:12:03.600
 Jew

00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:04.440
 Paul

00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:04.780
 had

00:12:04.780 --> 00:12:05.220
 regarded

00:12:05.220 --> 00:12:06.060
 non-Jews

00:12:06.060 --> 00:12:06.780
 in his

00:12:06.780 --> 00:12:06.980
 own

00:12:06.980 --> 00:12:07.360
 words

00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:08.820
 as

00:12:08.820 --> 00:12:09.240
 sinners

00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:10.660
 who

00:12:10.660 --> 00:12:10.840
 he says

00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:10.960
 in

00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:11.519
 Galatians

00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:12.639
 Gentile

00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:13.060
 sinners

00:12:13.060 --> 00:12:15.400
 strangers

00:12:15.400 --> 00:12:16.040
 to God's

00:12:16.040 --> 00:12:16.420
 promises

00:12:16.419 --> 00:12:17.199
 from

00:12:17.199 --> 00:12:17.439
 this

00:12:17.439 --> 00:12:17.740
 very

00:12:17.740 --> 00:12:18.799
 letter

00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:20.399
 later

00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:20.740
 on

00:12:20.740 --> 00:12:22.039
 before

00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:22.559
 Gentiles

00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:22.759
 met

00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:23.059
 Christ

00:12:23.059 --> 00:12:23.240
 they

00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:23.379
 are

00:12:23.379 --> 00:12:24.099
 strangers

00:12:24.099 --> 00:12:24.839
 they

00:12:24.839 --> 00:12:25.000
 are

00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:25.620
 apart

00:12:25.620 --> 00:12:25.839
 they

00:12:25.839 --> 00:12:25.959
 are

00:12:25.959 --> 00:12:26.559
 different

00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:27.959
 from

00:12:27.959 --> 00:12:28.360
 God's

00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:28.719
 people

00:12:28.719 --> 00:12:29.639
 they

00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:29.759
 have

00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:29.919
 no

00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:30.259
 part

00:12:30.259 --> 00:12:30.399
 in

00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:30.559
 his

00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:30.939
 promises

00:12:30.939 --> 00:12:31.399
 until

00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:31.620
 they

00:12:31.620 --> 00:12:31.779
 meet

00:12:31.779 --> 00:12:32.199
 Christ

00:12:32.199 --> 00:12:34.219
 but

00:12:34.219 --> 00:12:34.439
 that's

00:12:34.439 --> 00:12:34.620
 also

00:12:34.620 --> 00:12:34.819
 true

00:12:34.819 --> 00:12:34.939
 of

00:12:34.939 --> 00:12:35.039
 the

00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:35.379
 Jews

00:12:35.379 --> 00:12:38.120
 ones

00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:38.339
 like

00:12:38.339 --> 00:12:38.659
 himself

00:12:38.659 --> 00:12:38.879
 who

00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:39.219
 at

00:12:39.219 --> 00:12:39.360
 that

00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:39.579
 time

00:12:39.579 --> 00:12:39.740
 had

00:12:39.740 --> 00:12:40.120
 rejected

00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:40.500
 Christ

00:12:40.500 --> 00:12:40.980
 before

00:12:40.980 --> 00:12:41.179
 they

00:12:41.179 --> 00:12:41.480
 accept

00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:41.980
 Christ

00:12:41.980 --> 00:12:45.620
 so the

00:12:45.620 --> 00:12:46.100
 idea

00:12:46.100 --> 00:12:46.820
 that God

00:12:46.820 --> 00:12:47.740
 in Christ

00:12:47.740 --> 00:12:48.759
 could now

00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:49.700
 reach out

00:12:49.700 --> 00:12:51.019
 to those

00:12:51.019 --> 00:12:52.120
 same

00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:53.180
 sinful

00:12:53.180 --> 00:12:54.639
 idolatrous

00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:55.600
 Gentiles

00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:57.139
 and unite

00:12:57.139 --> 00:12:57.539
 them

00:12:57.539 --> 00:12:58.220
 with the

00:12:58.220 --> 00:12:58.980
 faithful

00:12:58.980 --> 00:12:59.920
 among his

00:12:59.920 --> 00:13:00.399
 people

00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:01.039
 the ones

00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:01.259
 who had

00:13:01.259 --> 00:13:01.860
 recognized

00:13:01.860 --> 00:13:02.240
 Jesus

00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:03.379
 as God's

00:13:03.379 --> 00:13:03.820
 anointed

00:13:03.820 --> 00:13:06.160
 the

00:13:06.160 --> 00:13:06.700
 saviour

00:13:06.700 --> 00:13:07.160
 of the

00:13:07.160 --> 00:13:07.400
 world

00:13:07.400 --> 00:13:07.700
 and its

00:13:07.700 --> 00:13:08.040
 Lord

00:13:08.040 --> 00:13:11.560
 and

00:13:11.560 --> 00:13:11.960
 had

00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:12.220
 done

00:13:12.220 --> 00:13:12.480
 so

00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:12.800
 mark

00:13:12.800 --> 00:13:12.980
 you

00:13:12.980 --> 00:13:13.520
 without

00:13:13.520 --> 00:13:14.480
 requiring

00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:14.760
 the

00:13:14.760 --> 00:13:15.379
 Gentiles

00:13:15.379 --> 00:13:15.960
 to keep

00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:16.379
 Sabbath

00:13:16.379 --> 00:13:17.420
 to eat

00:13:17.420 --> 00:13:17.860
 kosher

00:13:17.860 --> 00:13:19.620
 to have

00:13:19.620 --> 00:13:19.860
 their

00:13:19.860 --> 00:13:20.480
 male children

00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:21.320
 circumcised

00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:22.200
 just as

00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:22.700
 they are

00:13:22.700 --> 00:13:23.340
 just as

00:13:23.340 --> 00:13:23.640
 they are

00:13:23.640 --> 00:13:23.960
 they can

00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:24.320
 come

00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:26.600
 as long

00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:26.840
 as they

00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:27.200
 accept

00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:27.500
 Jesus

00:13:27.500 --> 00:13:27.760
 as

00:13:27.760 --> 00:13:28.040
 Lord

00:13:28.040 --> 00:13:31.960
 that

00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:32.140
 would

00:13:32.140 --> 00:13:32.280
 have

00:13:32.280 --> 00:13:32.540
 seemed

00:13:32.540 --> 00:13:33.240
 madness

00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:34.159
 to Paul

00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:34.899
 before he

00:13:34.899 --> 00:13:35.159
 met

00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:35.659
 Jesus

00:13:35.659 --> 00:13:40.180
 but now

00:13:40.180 --> 00:13:40.480
 at the

00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:40.960
 end of

00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:41.519
 his life

00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:42.159
 having

00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:42.759
 come to

00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:43.320
 believe

00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:43.919
 that Jesus

00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:44.940
 is the

00:13:44.940 --> 00:13:45.480
 anointed

00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:46.060
 Lord

00:13:46.060 --> 00:13:46.799
 the Christ

00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:47.360
 of God

00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:48.820
 he writes

00:13:48.820 --> 00:13:49.440
 to churches

00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:52.480
 which are

00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:53.360
 in fact

00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:54.279
 already

00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:55.080
 now

00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:56.960
 overwhelmingly

00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:58.039
 Gentile

00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.820
 the churches

00:14:01.820 --> 00:14:02.500
 he'd founded

00:14:02.500 --> 00:14:03.220
 and pastored

00:14:03.220 --> 00:14:03.860
 and known

00:14:03.860 --> 00:14:05.420
 were all

00:14:05.420 --> 00:14:06.840
 overwhelmingly

00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:08.779
 non-Jews

00:14:08.779 --> 00:14:12.240
 he can't

00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:12.899
 get over

00:14:12.899 --> 00:14:13.320
 what has

00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:13.759
 happened

00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:16.100
 that the

00:14:16.100 --> 00:14:16.580
 blood of

00:14:16.580 --> 00:14:17.040
 Christ

00:14:17.040 --> 00:14:17.899
 has brought

00:14:17.899 --> 00:14:18.180
 these

00:14:18.180 --> 00:14:18.960
 diverse

00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.660
 antagonistic

00:14:22.660 --> 00:14:25.139
 groups

00:14:25.139 --> 00:14:25.500
 together

00:14:25.500 --> 00:14:26.019
 people who

00:14:26.019 --> 00:14:26.860
 hated one

00:14:26.860 --> 00:14:27.200
 another

00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:27.960
 and condemned

00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:28.800
 one another

00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:29.559
 are now

00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:30.079
 together

00:14:30.079 --> 00:14:31.159
 in one

00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:32.039
 fellowship

00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:34.419
 wow

00:14:34.419 --> 00:14:36.839
 what a

00:14:36.839 --> 00:14:37.359
 surprise

00:14:37.359 --> 00:14:38.620
 what a

00:14:38.620 --> 00:14:39.079
 mystery

00:14:39.079 --> 00:14:45.519
 and this

00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:46.659
 astonishing

00:14:46.659 --> 00:14:47.219
 thing

00:14:47.219 --> 00:14:49.359
 is a

00:14:49.359 --> 00:14:50.319
 small part

00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:52.580
 and a

00:14:52.580 --> 00:14:53.260
 sign

00:14:53.260 --> 00:14:55.020
 of a

00:14:55.020 --> 00:14:55.640
 much

00:14:55.640 --> 00:14:56.879
 greater

00:14:56.879 --> 00:14:58.020
 work

00:14:58.020 --> 00:14:58.420
 of

00:14:58.420 --> 00:14:59.040
 God

00:14:59.040 --> 00:15:00.700
 to

00:15:00.700 --> 00:15:01.560
 unite

00:15:01.560 --> 00:15:03.080
 all

00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:03.940
 things

00:15:03.940 --> 00:15:05.980
 everything

00:15:05.980 --> 00:15:06.420
 that's been

00:15:06.420 --> 00:15:07.320
 blown apart

00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:08.080
 by sin

00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:10.480
 in Christ

00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:16.659
 you know

00:15:16.659 --> 00:15:17.120
 it's often

00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:18.560
 an accusation

00:15:18.560 --> 00:15:19.060
 I've heard

00:15:19.060 --> 00:15:19.899
 hurled at

00:15:19.899 --> 00:15:20.279
 Christians

00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:21.440
 by Jews

00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:21.920
 and others

00:15:21.920 --> 00:15:22.220
 well

00:15:22.220 --> 00:15:25.800
 Jesus is the

00:15:25.800 --> 00:15:26.139
 Messiah

00:15:26.139 --> 00:15:26.800
 how come

00:15:26.800 --> 00:15:27.300
 there's still

00:15:27.300 --> 00:15:27.700
 so much

00:15:27.700 --> 00:15:28.120
 fighting

00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:28.720
 and conflict

00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:29.039
 in the

00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:29.379
 world

00:15:29.379 --> 00:15:30.180
 why hasn't

00:15:30.180 --> 00:15:30.519
 he brought

00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:31.100
 peace

00:15:31.100 --> 00:15:33.680
 which I

00:15:33.680 --> 00:15:34.560
 answer

00:15:34.560 --> 00:15:35.300
 by saying

00:15:35.300 --> 00:15:36.279
 he has

00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:38.919
 but he

00:15:38.919 --> 00:15:39.279
 in his

00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:39.720
 mercy

00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:40.860
 is doing

00:15:40.860 --> 00:15:41.620
 it slowly

00:15:41.620 --> 00:15:42.819
 and mercifully

00:15:42.819 --> 00:15:44.559
 but

00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:45.439
 when I

00:15:45.439 --> 00:15:45.759
 look at

00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:46.079
 Christian

00:15:46.079 --> 00:15:46.639
 communities

00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:47.259
 which are

00:15:47.259 --> 00:15:47.959
 united

00:15:47.959 --> 00:15:49.720
 even though

00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:50.120
 they have

00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:50.600
 so many

00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:51.000
 different

00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:51.480
 people

00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:52.319
 from different

00:15:52.319 --> 00:15:53.199
 racial groups

00:15:53.199 --> 00:15:53.959
 different

00:15:53.959 --> 00:15:54.579
 backgrounds

00:15:54.579 --> 00:15:55.059
 but all

00:15:55.059 --> 00:15:55.620
 united

00:15:55.620 --> 00:15:56.759
 I see

00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:57.360
 already

00:15:57.360 --> 00:15:58.639
 a sign

00:15:58.639 --> 00:15:59.279
 of the

00:15:59.279 --> 00:15:59.600
 great

00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:00.240
 peace

00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:01.079
 that is

00:16:01.079 --> 00:16:01.419
 coming

00:16:01.419 --> 00:16:01.679
 at the

00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:01.959
 end of

00:16:01.959 --> 00:16:02.079
 the

00:16:02.079 --> 00:16:02.459
 age

00:16:02.460 --> 00:16:13.920
 and

00:16:13.920 --> 00:16:15.500
 fascinatingly

00:16:15.500 --> 00:16:16.639
 in our

00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:17.139
 passage this

00:16:17.139 --> 00:16:17.420
 morning

00:16:17.420 --> 00:16:18.000
 elsewhere

00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:18.400
 in the

00:16:18.400 --> 00:16:18.680
 letter

00:16:18.680 --> 00:16:20.060
 Paul

00:16:20.060 --> 00:16:21.900
 suggests

00:16:21.900 --> 00:16:22.440
 that this

00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:22.980
 unity

00:16:22.980 --> 00:16:24.120
 does not

00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:24.800
 mean

00:16:24.800 --> 00:16:26.080
 that we

00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:26.639
 have to

00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:27.420
 merge

00:16:27.420 --> 00:16:28.720
 what makes

00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:29.200
 us different

00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:29.560
 our

00:16:29.560 --> 00:16:30.340
 histories

00:16:30.340 --> 00:16:31.200
 our past

00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:32.740
 the good

00:16:32.740 --> 00:16:33.259
 stuff in

00:16:33.259 --> 00:16:33.420
 our

00:16:33.420 --> 00:16:33.980
 heritage

00:16:33.980 --> 00:16:36.120
 into one

00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:36.420
 sort of

00:16:36.420 --> 00:16:37.400
 melting pot

00:16:37.400 --> 00:16:38.100
 which produces

00:16:38.100 --> 00:16:39.220
 a big

00:16:39.220 --> 00:16:39.879
 tasteless

00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:40.440
 stew

00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:42.420
 no

00:16:42.420 --> 00:16:45.500
 we can

00:16:45.500 --> 00:16:46.000
 keep

00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:46.860
 our

00:16:46.860 --> 00:16:47.440
 identity

00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:50.720
 the stuff

00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:51.240
 that God

00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:53.240
 planned for

00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:53.560
 us to

00:16:53.560 --> 00:16:53.980
 have

00:16:53.980 --> 00:16:54.560
 each of

00:16:54.560 --> 00:16:54.720
 us

00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:55.220
 different

00:16:55.220 --> 00:16:56.140
 men

00:16:56.140 --> 00:16:56.860
 and women

00:16:56.860 --> 00:16:58.020
 slaves

00:16:58.020 --> 00:16:58.720
 and free

00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:01.180
 Jews

00:17:01.179 --> 00:17:01.659
 and none

00:17:01.659 --> 00:17:01.959
 do

00:17:01.959 --> 00:17:03.979
 all

00:17:03.979 --> 00:17:04.779
 have

00:17:04.779 --> 00:17:05.339
 rich

00:17:05.339 --> 00:17:06.500
 important

00:17:06.500 --> 00:17:07.379
 histories

00:17:07.379 --> 00:17:09.779
 that don't

00:17:09.779 --> 00:17:10.079
 need to

00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:10.679
 be lost

00:17:10.679 --> 00:17:12.179
 in fact

00:17:12.179 --> 00:17:13.220
 when they

00:17:13.220 --> 00:17:13.779
 come together

00:17:13.779 --> 00:17:14.639
 and work

00:17:14.639 --> 00:17:15.259
 together

00:17:15.259 --> 00:17:17.519
 they make

00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:17.960
 for a

00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:18.539
 far

00:17:18.539 --> 00:17:19.220
 deeper

00:17:19.220 --> 00:17:20.379
 richer

00:17:20.379 --> 00:17:21.259
 unity

00:17:21.259 --> 00:17:23.460
 than if

00:17:23.460 --> 00:17:23.779
 we had to

00:17:23.779 --> 00:17:24.259
 give everything

00:17:24.259 --> 00:17:24.839
 up and have

00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:25.599
 some bland

00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:26.099
 common

00:17:26.099 --> 00:17:26.779
 denominator

00:17:26.779 --> 00:17:29.660
 which is

00:17:29.660 --> 00:17:30.139
 why of course

00:17:30.139 --> 00:17:30.559
 later in

00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:30.960
 the letter

00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:33.379
 Paul holds

00:17:33.379 --> 00:17:34.619
 out the

00:17:34.619 --> 00:17:35.059
 picture of

00:17:35.059 --> 00:17:35.720
 a marriage

00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:36.680
 between a

00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:37.000
 man and

00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:37.480
 a woman

00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:39.259
 as a

00:17:39.259 --> 00:17:39.700
 picture

00:17:39.700 --> 00:17:41.559
 of the

00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:42.240
 unity between

00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:42.940
 Christ and

00:17:42.940 --> 00:17:43.799
 his church

00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:44.700
 because

00:17:44.700 --> 00:17:46.680
 as I know

00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:47.139
 rather well

00:17:47.139 --> 00:17:47.639
 actually after

00:17:47.639 --> 00:17:48.539
 45 years of

00:17:48.539 --> 00:17:48.859
 marriage

00:17:48.859 --> 00:17:49.839
 men and

00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:50.160
 women are

00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:50.519
 different

00:17:50.519 --> 00:17:51.019
 you may not

00:17:51.019 --> 00:17:51.700
 notice this

00:17:51.700 --> 00:17:52.340
 but yeah

00:17:52.340 --> 00:17:53.480
 you know

00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:55.380
 and Paul

00:17:55.380 --> 00:17:55.940
 says vive la

00:17:55.940 --> 00:17:56.220
 difference

00:17:56.220 --> 00:17:56.880
 you know

00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:00.120
 because actually

00:18:00.120 --> 00:18:01.240
 when a man

00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:01.580
 and woman

00:18:01.580 --> 00:18:02.220
 come together

00:18:02.220 --> 00:18:03.140
 and they

00:18:03.140 --> 00:18:03.680
 become one

00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:04.380
 flesh

00:18:04.380 --> 00:18:06.860
 their unity

00:18:06.860 --> 00:18:08.259
 transcends

00:18:08.259 --> 00:18:09.279
 enriches

00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:10.680
 and deepens

00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:13.819
 their union

00:18:13.819 --> 00:18:14.559
 than if they

00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:15.019
 had just been

00:18:15.019 --> 00:18:15.799
 the same

00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:16.740
 because they're

00:18:16.740 --> 00:18:17.140
 different

00:18:17.140 --> 00:18:18.920
 because their

00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:19.600
 weaknesses and

00:18:19.600 --> 00:18:20.500
 strengths complement

00:18:20.500 --> 00:18:21.300
 each other

00:18:21.300 --> 00:18:23.500
 and that's

00:18:23.500 --> 00:18:23.820
 what he says

00:18:23.820 --> 00:18:24.120
 about the

00:18:24.120 --> 00:18:24.540
 church

00:18:24.540 --> 00:18:28.280
 our

00:18:28.280 --> 00:18:28.800
 differences

00:18:28.800 --> 00:18:31.100
 can be

00:18:31.100 --> 00:18:32.140
 in God's

00:18:32.140 --> 00:18:32.680
 mercy

00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:35.040
 sources for

00:18:35.040 --> 00:18:35.680
 a richer

00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:36.460
 and deeper

00:18:36.460 --> 00:18:37.120
 unity

00:18:37.120 --> 00:18:37.880
 than if we

00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:38.200
 were all

00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:38.759
 the same

00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:39.380
 cast from

00:18:39.380 --> 00:18:39.759
 the same

00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:40.120
 mold

00:18:40.120 --> 00:18:45.140
 so what

00:18:45.140 --> 00:18:45.420
 does that

00:18:45.420 --> 00:18:45.759
 mean for

00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:46.220
 us today

00:18:46.220 --> 00:18:49.680
 well

00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:51.920
 if you take

00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:52.380
 nothing else

00:18:52.380 --> 00:18:52.880
 from this

00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:54.259
 what I've

00:18:54.259 --> 00:18:54.460
 said

00:18:54.460 --> 00:18:57.920
 let's try

00:18:57.920 --> 00:18:58.799
 and get

00:18:58.799 --> 00:18:59.420
 our heads

00:18:59.420 --> 00:18:59.839
 round

00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:02.360
 how big

00:19:02.360 --> 00:19:03.079
 is God's

00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:03.559
 plan

00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:06.440
 yes

00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:07.000
 yes of

00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:07.319
 course

00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:08.360
 it includes

00:19:08.360 --> 00:19:09.480
 our own

00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:10.480
 personal

00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:11.400
 salvation

00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:12.600
 and restoration

00:19:12.600 --> 00:19:14.759
 but it's

00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:15.339
 far bigger

00:19:15.339 --> 00:19:15.839
 even than

00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:16.259
 that

00:19:16.259 --> 00:19:19.179
 he's making

00:19:19.179 --> 00:19:20.179
 all things

00:19:20.179 --> 00:19:20.720
 new

00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:21.559
 uniting

00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:22.720
 all things

00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:24.819
 and when

00:19:24.819 --> 00:19:25.119
 the end

00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:25.539
 comes

00:19:25.539 --> 00:19:26.679
 all the

00:19:26.679 --> 00:19:27.019
 stuff that

00:19:27.019 --> 00:19:27.459
 makes us

00:19:27.459 --> 00:19:28.259
 weep

00:19:28.259 --> 00:19:28.859
 about our

00:19:28.859 --> 00:19:29.199
 world

00:19:29.199 --> 00:19:30.139
 the wars

00:19:30.139 --> 00:19:30.879
 and the

00:19:30.879 --> 00:19:31.500
 conflict

00:19:31.500 --> 00:19:32.799
 the ruthless

00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:33.599
 exploitation

00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:34.679
 of nature

00:19:34.679 --> 00:19:35.480
 by humans

00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:38.779
 all that

00:19:38.779 --> 00:19:40.279
 will end

00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:41.620
 and all

00:19:41.620 --> 00:19:42.200
 things will

00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:43.140
 work together

00:19:43.140 --> 00:19:43.819
 for good

00:19:43.819 --> 00:19:47.039
 that's how

00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:47.660
 big it is

00:19:47.660 --> 00:19:48.360
 all things

00:19:48.360 --> 00:19:51.700
 that's his

00:19:51.700 --> 00:19:52.039
 plan

00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:54.640
 and he

00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:55.059
 wants

00:19:55.059 --> 00:19:55.740
 you and

00:19:55.740 --> 00:19:56.339
 me to be

00:19:56.339 --> 00:19:56.940
 part of

00:19:56.940 --> 00:19:57.160
 it

00:19:57.160 --> 00:19:57.759
 to work

00:19:57.759 --> 00:19:58.319
 with him

00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:00.700
 where

00:20:00.700 --> 00:20:01.319
 in our

00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:01.939
 lives

00:20:01.939 --> 00:20:02.720
 in our

00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:03.220
 homes

00:20:03.220 --> 00:20:04.339
 and communities

00:20:04.339 --> 00:20:05.279
 and our

00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:05.819
 nation

00:20:05.819 --> 00:20:06.679
 and our

00:20:06.679 --> 00:20:07.240
 world

00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:08.339
 is God's

00:20:08.339 --> 00:20:09.339
 great plan

00:20:09.339 --> 00:20:12.299
 momentarily

00:20:12.299 --> 00:20:13.019
 delayed

00:20:13.019 --> 00:20:14.119
 and thwarted

00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:15.779
 you know

00:20:15.779 --> 00:20:16.179
 look I've read

00:20:16.179 --> 00:20:16.500
 the bible

00:20:16.500 --> 00:20:16.980
 I know how

00:20:16.980 --> 00:20:17.619
 it ends

00:20:17.619 --> 00:20:18.079
 okay

00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:20.539
 but we know

00:20:20.539 --> 00:20:21.220
 evil is still

00:20:21.220 --> 00:20:22.099
 powerful and sin

00:20:22.099 --> 00:20:22.559
 and the devil

00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:23.179
 in our world

00:20:23.179 --> 00:20:23.859
 trying to

00:20:23.859 --> 00:20:24.339
 thwart the

00:20:24.339 --> 00:20:24.619
 plan

00:20:24.619 --> 00:20:27.259
 let's get

00:20:27.259 --> 00:20:27.779
 on board

00:20:27.779 --> 00:20:30.139
 let's work

00:20:30.139 --> 00:20:30.639
 with him

00:20:30.639 --> 00:20:32.579
 promote

00:20:32.579 --> 00:20:33.240
 unity

00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:34.500
 wherever we

00:20:34.500 --> 00:20:34.859
 can

00:20:34.859 --> 00:20:38.779
 I've

00:20:38.779 --> 00:20:39.119
 mentioned my

00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:39.699
 uncle Stanley

00:20:39.699 --> 00:20:40.519
 let me tell you

00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:40.899
 a bit more

00:20:40.899 --> 00:20:41.439
 about what he

00:20:41.439 --> 00:20:41.720
 did

00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:45.899
 he was

00:20:45.899 --> 00:20:46.419
 headmaster

00:20:46.419 --> 00:20:46.799
 of the

00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:47.339
 grammar school

00:20:47.339 --> 00:20:47.959
 in Limavady

00:20:47.959 --> 00:20:50.299
 and in the

00:20:50.299 --> 00:20:51.740
 early 1960s

00:20:51.740 --> 00:20:52.779
 before the

00:20:52.779 --> 00:20:53.579
 violence began

00:20:53.579 --> 00:20:57.559
 he went

00:20:57.559 --> 00:20:58.019
 to see

00:20:58.019 --> 00:20:59.039
 the new

00:20:59.039 --> 00:20:59.579
 Catholic

00:20:59.579 --> 00:21:00.119
 priest

00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:01.339
 Stanley

00:21:01.339 --> 00:21:01.980
 himself was

00:21:01.980 --> 00:21:03.099
 a faithful

00:21:03.099 --> 00:21:03.579
 member of

00:21:03.579 --> 00:21:03.899
 the Church

00:21:03.899 --> 00:21:04.480
 of Ireland

00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:05.859
 an Anglican

00:21:05.859 --> 00:21:06.639
 if you want

00:21:06.639 --> 00:21:09.879
 and he

00:21:09.879 --> 00:21:10.279
 said to the

00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:10.439
 priest

00:21:10.439 --> 00:21:10.740
 look

00:21:10.740 --> 00:21:12.439
 we've got a

00:21:12.439 --> 00:21:12.980
 sixth form

00:21:12.980 --> 00:21:13.539
 in the grammar

00:21:13.539 --> 00:21:13.899
 school

00:21:13.899 --> 00:21:15.279
 which of course

00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:15.879
 you know the

00:21:15.879 --> 00:21:16.199
 province

00:21:16.199 --> 00:21:17.099
 was at that

00:21:17.099 --> 00:21:18.159
 point 100%

00:21:18.159 --> 00:21:18.939
 Protestant

00:21:18.939 --> 00:21:20.599
 we have a

00:21:20.599 --> 00:21:21.079
 sixth form

00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:21.899
 you've not

00:21:21.899 --> 00:21:22.419
 got a sixth

00:21:22.419 --> 00:21:22.819
 form in the

00:21:22.819 --> 00:21:23.119
 Catholic

00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:23.519
 secondary

00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:23.900
 school

00:21:23.900 --> 00:21:24.819
 so your

00:21:24.819 --> 00:21:25.339
 sixth form

00:21:25.339 --> 00:21:25.599
 must have

00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:25.799
 to get

00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:26.079
 on the

00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:26.440
 bus

00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:27.059
 and go

00:21:27.059 --> 00:21:28.379
 15 miles

00:21:28.379 --> 00:21:29.460
 there and

00:21:29.460 --> 00:21:29.759
 back

00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:31.740
 to Derry

00:21:31.740 --> 00:21:33.539
 that's

00:21:33.539 --> 00:21:34.019
 silly isn't

00:21:34.019 --> 00:21:34.240
 it

00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:35.940
 if I

00:21:35.940 --> 00:21:36.639
 promise to

00:21:36.639 --> 00:21:36.900
 you

00:21:36.900 --> 00:21:38.000
 that nothing

00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:38.720
 will be done

00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:39.420
 in the grammar

00:21:39.420 --> 00:21:39.839
 school

00:21:39.839 --> 00:21:41.019
 to offend

00:21:41.019 --> 00:21:41.859
 the Catholic

00:21:41.859 --> 00:21:43.039
 students

00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:45.420
 and you

00:21:45.420 --> 00:21:46.079
 can come in

00:21:46.079 --> 00:21:46.819
 and teach them

00:21:46.819 --> 00:21:47.660
 Catholic

00:21:47.660 --> 00:21:48.019
 religious

00:21:48.019 --> 00:21:48.639
 instruction

00:21:48.639 --> 00:21:49.660
 can they

00:21:49.660 --> 00:21:50.099
 come to

00:21:50.099 --> 00:21:50.459
 us

00:21:50.459 --> 00:21:54.859
 so they

00:21:54.859 --> 00:21:55.099
 did

00:21:55.099 --> 00:21:57.839
 very

00:21:57.839 --> 00:21:58.379
 unusual

00:21:58.379 --> 00:21:58.879
 almost

00:21:58.879 --> 00:21:59.399
 unheard

00:21:59.399 --> 00:21:59.659
 of at

00:21:59.659 --> 00:22:00.099
 the time

00:22:00.099 --> 00:22:04.019
 and it's

00:22:04.019 --> 00:22:04.699
 still the

00:22:04.699 --> 00:22:04.980
 case

00:22:04.980 --> 00:22:05.959
 I'm still

00:22:05.959 --> 00:22:06.299
 in touch

00:22:06.299 --> 00:22:06.619
 with people

00:22:06.619 --> 00:22:07.099
 in Limavadi

00:22:07.099 --> 00:22:08.839
 and still

00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:09.459
 Catholics

00:22:09.459 --> 00:22:10.579
 go to the

00:22:10.579 --> 00:22:11.139
 grammar school

00:22:11.139 --> 00:22:11.579
 in the

00:22:11.579 --> 00:22:12.039
 sixth form

00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:15.200
 Limavadi

00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:16.059
 was just

00:22:16.059 --> 00:22:16.659
 the sort

00:22:16.659 --> 00:22:17.039
 of little

00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:17.519
 town

00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:18.519
 which there

00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:18.740
 could have

00:22:18.740 --> 00:22:19.299
 been a lot

00:22:19.299 --> 00:22:20.019
 of violence

00:22:20.019 --> 00:22:20.339
 in the

00:22:20.339 --> 00:22:20.740
 Troubles

00:22:20.740 --> 00:22:24.120
 there wasn't

00:22:24.120 --> 00:22:27.339
 how can you

00:22:27.339 --> 00:22:27.839
 shoot a

00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:28.339
 policeman

00:22:28.339 --> 00:22:28.680
 in the

00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:29.059
 back

00:22:29.059 --> 00:22:31.180
 when you've

00:22:31.180 --> 00:22:31.559
 been in the

00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:32.140
 same rugby

00:22:32.140 --> 00:22:32.640
 team as

00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:32.839
 him

00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:34.900
 how can you

00:22:34.900 --> 00:22:35.299
 throw a

00:22:35.299 --> 00:22:35.799
 bomb into

00:22:35.799 --> 00:22:36.279
 a Catholic

00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:36.720
 pub

00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:38.839
 when you

00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:40.180
 you might

00:22:40.180 --> 00:22:40.920
 kill or

00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:41.220
 injure

00:22:41.220 --> 00:22:41.700
 Seamus

00:22:41.700 --> 00:22:42.759
 who was

00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:43.120
 your best

00:22:43.120 --> 00:22:43.539
 mate in

00:22:43.539 --> 00:22:43.839
 the grammar

00:22:43.839 --> 00:22:44.240
 school

00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:51.180
 well

00:22:51.180 --> 00:22:51.519
 it's an

00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:51.880
 example

00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:52.559
 the sort

00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:52.819
 of stuff

00:22:52.819 --> 00:22:53.220
 I'm talking

00:22:53.220 --> 00:22:53.579
 about

00:22:53.579 --> 00:22:56.500
 and the

00:22:56.500 --> 00:22:56.880
 church

00:22:56.880 --> 00:22:59.400
 you know

00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:00.759
 the church

00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:01.099
 has got to

00:23:01.099 --> 00:23:01.519
 be a sign

00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:02.019
 of unity

00:23:02.019 --> 00:23:04.519
 and I

00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:05.380
 rejoice

00:23:05.380 --> 00:23:06.140
 that here

00:23:06.140 --> 00:23:07.180
 you know

00:23:07.180 --> 00:23:07.700
 originally

00:23:07.700 --> 00:23:09.140
 two

00:23:09.140 --> 00:23:10.000
 traditions

00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:11.900
 separated

00:23:11.900 --> 00:23:13.980
 came together

00:23:13.980 --> 00:23:15.420
 Anglican

00:23:15.420 --> 00:23:16.099
 and Methodist

00:23:16.099 --> 00:23:17.759
 I guess by

00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:18.160
 now it's

00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:18.620
 all so long

00:23:18.620 --> 00:23:19.039
 ago that

00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:19.380
 many of

00:23:19.380 --> 00:23:19.539
 you

00:23:19.539 --> 00:23:20.700
 that's all

00:23:20.700 --> 00:23:20.920
 ancient

00:23:20.920 --> 00:23:21.279
 history

00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:21.539
 I don't

00:23:21.539 --> 00:23:21.740
 know

00:23:21.740 --> 00:23:22.059
 but

00:23:22.059 --> 00:23:24.400
 that's

00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:24.740
 such a

00:23:24.740 --> 00:23:24.920
 great

00:23:24.920 --> 00:23:25.339
 sign

00:23:25.339 --> 00:23:27.079
 I cannot

00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:27.519
 commend you

00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:27.819
 more

00:23:27.819 --> 00:23:29.160
 strongly

00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:30.480
 for that

00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:30.759
 to have

00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:31.059
 happened

00:23:31.059 --> 00:23:34.019
 and

00:23:34.019 --> 00:23:35.059
 also

00:23:35.059 --> 00:23:35.779
 you know

00:23:35.779 --> 00:23:36.099
 there are

00:23:36.099 --> 00:23:36.500
 things that

00:23:36.500 --> 00:23:36.819
 divide

00:23:36.819 --> 00:23:37.360
 Christians

00:23:37.360 --> 00:23:38.920
 which

00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:39.380
 unfortunately

00:23:39.380 --> 00:23:40.240
 you can't

00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:40.539
 just

00:23:40.539 --> 00:23:41.579
 gloss over

00:23:41.579 --> 00:23:41.900
 I mean

00:23:41.900 --> 00:23:43.460
 I'm sorry

00:23:43.460 --> 00:23:43.860
 I've got to

00:23:43.860 --> 00:23:44.480
 say it

00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:45.779
 but

00:23:45.779 --> 00:23:48.640
 when there

00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:49.019
 are deep

00:23:49.019 --> 00:23:49.620
 divisions

00:23:49.620 --> 00:23:52.019
 over matters

00:23:52.019 --> 00:23:52.380
 like the

00:23:52.380 --> 00:23:53.319
 authority of

00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:53.819
 scripture

00:23:53.819 --> 00:23:57.900
 the role

00:23:57.900 --> 00:23:58.480
 of preaching

00:23:58.480 --> 00:24:01.840
 then

00:24:01.840 --> 00:24:04.299
 it's very

00:24:04.299 --> 00:24:04.740
 hard

00:24:04.740 --> 00:24:05.360
 actually to

00:24:05.360 --> 00:24:05.779
 live with

00:24:05.779 --> 00:24:06.319
 contradictory

00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:07.100
 opinions

00:24:07.100 --> 00:24:08.039
 really is

00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:09.319
 I'm

00:24:09.319 --> 00:24:09.579
 minded

00:24:09.579 --> 00:24:09.879
 of

00:24:09.879 --> 00:24:10.920
 Elijah

00:24:10.920 --> 00:24:11.960
 on Mount

00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:12.319
 Carmel

00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:12.879
 why

00:24:12.879 --> 00:24:13.420
 limp

00:24:13.420 --> 00:24:13.700
 ye

00:24:13.700 --> 00:24:14.099
 between

00:24:14.099 --> 00:24:14.599
 two

00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:15.200
 opinions

00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:16.440
 sometimes

00:24:16.440 --> 00:24:17.019
 actually

00:24:17.019 --> 00:24:17.420
 we've got

00:24:17.420 --> 00:24:17.779
 to hammer

00:24:17.779 --> 00:24:18.259
 it out

00:24:18.259 --> 00:24:19.039
 decide what

00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:19.700
 we believe

00:24:19.700 --> 00:24:20.519
 and be

00:24:20.519 --> 00:24:21.079
 united

00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:21.359
 around

00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:21.659
 what we

00:24:21.659 --> 00:24:21.940
 see as

00:24:21.940 --> 00:24:22.420
 the truth

00:24:22.420 --> 00:24:24.779
 and that

00:24:24.779 --> 00:24:25.159
 may mean

00:24:25.159 --> 00:24:25.460
 division

00:24:25.460 --> 00:24:25.819
 actually

00:24:25.819 --> 00:24:27.639
 but come

00:24:27.639 --> 00:24:27.960
 on

00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:29.339
 we all

00:24:29.339 --> 00:24:29.559
 know

00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:30.899
 most of

00:24:30.899 --> 00:24:31.379
 the divisions

00:24:31.379 --> 00:24:31.960
 in churches

00:24:31.960 --> 00:24:32.500
 aren't about

00:24:32.500 --> 00:24:32.879
 that are

00:24:32.879 --> 00:24:33.119
 they

00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:36.079
 it's about

00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:36.819
 petty

00:24:36.819 --> 00:24:37.239
 stuff

00:24:37.239 --> 00:24:37.519
 isn't it

00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:38.179
 or much

00:24:38.179 --> 00:24:38.699
 less

00:24:38.699 --> 00:24:39.059
 important

00:24:39.059 --> 00:24:39.439
 stuff

00:24:39.439 --> 00:24:40.619
 I mean

00:24:40.619 --> 00:24:41.500
 I know

00:24:41.500 --> 00:24:41.839
 Germany

00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:42.379
 very well

00:24:42.379 --> 00:24:42.959
 live there

00:24:42.959 --> 00:24:44.179
 worshipped

00:24:44.179 --> 00:24:44.599
 mostly

00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:44.859
 actually

00:24:44.859 --> 00:24:45.259
 in Catholic

00:24:45.259 --> 00:24:45.679
 churches

00:24:45.679 --> 00:24:45.979
 you know

00:24:45.979 --> 00:24:46.839
 and I was

00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:47.159
 reminded

00:24:47.159 --> 00:24:47.519
 when

00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:49.859
 you said

00:24:49.859 --> 00:24:50.439
 stand up

00:24:50.439 --> 00:24:51.059
 and then it

00:24:51.059 --> 00:24:51.299
 was the

00:24:51.299 --> 00:24:51.639
 prayers

00:24:51.639 --> 00:24:52.759
 well actually

00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:53.039
 if you go

00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:53.539
 to a Catholic

00:24:53.539 --> 00:24:54.059
 church in

00:24:54.059 --> 00:24:54.379
 Germany

00:24:54.379 --> 00:24:55.479
 you stand

00:24:55.479 --> 00:24:56.299
 to sing

00:24:56.299 --> 00:24:57.099
 and sit

00:24:57.099 --> 00:24:57.500
 or kneel

00:24:57.500 --> 00:24:58.019
 to pray

00:24:58.019 --> 00:24:58.899
 just like

00:24:58.899 --> 00:24:59.279
 we do

00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:00.160
 you go

00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:00.379
 to the

00:25:00.379 --> 00:25:00.720
 Protestant

00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:01.420
 churches

00:25:01.420 --> 00:25:04.000
 just to

00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:04.319
 catch the

00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:04.599
 Catholics

00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:05.000
 out

00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:06.460
 they

00:25:06.460 --> 00:25:07.240
 sit

00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:08.000
 to sing

00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:11.339
 and stand

00:25:11.339 --> 00:25:11.980
 to pray

00:25:11.980 --> 00:25:13.420
 okay

00:25:13.420 --> 00:25:15.180
 spot the

00:25:15.180 --> 00:25:15.480
 visitor

00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:15.899
 you know

00:25:15.899 --> 00:25:17.039
 from the

00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:17.579
 other lot

00:25:17.579 --> 00:25:19.519
 and that's

00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:20.099
 why Lutheran

00:25:20.099 --> 00:25:20.539
 hymns by

00:25:20.539 --> 00:25:20.779
 the way

00:25:20.779 --> 00:25:21.139
 are all

00:25:21.139 --> 00:25:22.440
 so low

00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:26.119
 you know

00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:26.319
 you have to

00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:26.740
 growl them

00:25:26.740 --> 00:25:27.000
 out

00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:27.619
 because they're

00:25:27.619 --> 00:25:27.920
 seated

00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:31.680
 that's just

00:25:31.680 --> 00:25:32.279
 petty isn't

00:25:32.279 --> 00:25:32.539
 it

00:25:32.539 --> 00:25:33.420
 but you know

00:25:33.420 --> 00:25:33.720
 how people

00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:34.180
 get worked

00:25:34.180 --> 00:25:34.380
 up

00:25:34.380 --> 00:25:34.800
 don't they

00:25:34.800 --> 00:25:39.180
 I remember

00:25:39.180 --> 00:25:40.380
 when I was

00:25:40.380 --> 00:25:40.820
 a pastor

00:25:40.820 --> 00:25:41.440
 of a church

00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:42.160
 in the

00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:42.580
 Midlands

00:25:42.580 --> 00:25:46.420
 and the

00:25:46.420 --> 00:25:47.660
 worship wars

00:25:47.660 --> 00:25:48.160
 were in

00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:48.720
 full swing

00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:52.120
 on the one

00:25:52.120 --> 00:25:52.440
 hand

00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:53.160
 the traditional

00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:53.820
 organist

00:25:53.820 --> 00:25:56.600
 and the

00:25:56.600 --> 00:25:56.980
 choir

00:25:56.980 --> 00:25:58.740
 on the

00:25:58.740 --> 00:25:58.960
 other

00:25:58.960 --> 00:25:59.660
 the music

00:25:59.660 --> 00:26:00.259
 group

00:26:00.259 --> 00:26:01.599
 hymns

00:26:01.599 --> 00:26:03.120
 or spiritual

00:26:03.120 --> 00:26:04.019
 songs

00:26:04.019 --> 00:26:05.660
 which should

00:26:05.660 --> 00:26:06.220
 we sing

00:26:06.220 --> 00:26:07.480
 now there

00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:07.779
 was an

00:26:07.779 --> 00:26:08.160
 uneasy

00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:08.680
 compromise

00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:09.819
 so every

00:26:09.819 --> 00:26:10.660
 fourth Sunday

00:26:10.660 --> 00:26:11.720
 the music

00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:12.220
 group got

00:26:12.220 --> 00:26:12.799
 to lead

00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:15.559
 and most

00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:15.960
 of the people

00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:16.259
 who were

00:26:16.259 --> 00:26:16.779
 traditionally

00:26:16.779 --> 00:26:17.240
 inclined

00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:17.700
 didn't bother

00:26:17.700 --> 00:26:18.140
 to come

00:26:18.140 --> 00:26:21.319
 but then

00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:21.799
 something

00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:22.420
 amazing

00:26:22.420 --> 00:26:22.980
 happened

00:26:22.980 --> 00:26:25.500
 the organist

00:26:25.500 --> 00:26:26.400
 went on

00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:27.000
 an alpha

00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:27.500
 course

00:26:27.500 --> 00:26:30.400
 and his

00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:31.039
 walk with

00:26:31.039 --> 00:26:31.539
 Jesus

00:26:31.539 --> 00:26:33.380
 grew

00:26:33.380 --> 00:26:34.099
 much

00:26:34.099 --> 00:26:34.539
 closer

00:26:34.539 --> 00:26:37.960
 and one

00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:38.360
 Sunday

00:26:38.360 --> 00:26:38.799
 when the

00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:39.319
 worship group

00:26:39.319 --> 00:26:39.839
 was leading

00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:41.200
 they were

00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:41.720
 belting out

00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:42.059
 you know

00:26:42.059 --> 00:26:43.360
 our God's

00:26:43.360 --> 00:26:43.720
 the king of

00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:44.200
 the giants

00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:44.680
 or something

00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:48.740
 and David

00:26:48.740 --> 00:26:49.220
 began

00:26:49.220 --> 00:26:49.940
 softly

00:26:49.940 --> 00:26:51.759
 to play

00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:53.259
 the organ

00:26:53.259 --> 00:26:55.120
 in perfect

00:26:55.120 --> 00:26:55.620
 harmony

00:26:55.620 --> 00:26:56.259
 he was a

00:26:56.259 --> 00:26:57.019
 consummate

00:26:57.019 --> 00:26:57.480
 musician

00:26:57.480 --> 00:26:59.400
 with them

00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:04.420
 it was the

00:27:04.420 --> 00:27:04.680
 beginning

00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:05.060
 actually

00:27:05.060 --> 00:27:05.460
 in that

00:27:05.460 --> 00:27:05.660
 church

00:27:05.660 --> 00:27:05.920
 of a

00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:06.299
 wonderful

00:27:06.299 --> 00:27:06.880
 process

00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:07.060
 of

00:27:07.060 --> 00:27:07.560
 transformation

00:27:07.560 --> 00:27:08.820
 when God

00:27:08.820 --> 00:27:09.259
 the Holy

00:27:09.259 --> 00:27:09.680
 Spirit

00:27:09.680 --> 00:27:10.360
 worked

00:27:10.360 --> 00:27:10.940
 deeply

00:27:10.940 --> 00:27:11.539
 in people's

00:27:11.539 --> 00:27:11.960
 hearts

00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:13.940
 everybody's

00:27:13.940 --> 00:27:14.180
 hearts

00:27:14.180 --> 00:27:14.539
 actually

00:27:14.539 --> 00:27:15.940
 because there

00:27:15.940 --> 00:27:16.200
 was no

00:27:16.200 --> 00:27:16.599
 right or

00:27:16.599 --> 00:27:17.079
 wrong side

00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:17.240
 there

00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:17.659
 was there

00:27:17.659 --> 00:27:23.519
 and finally

00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:25.940
 all things

00:27:25.940 --> 00:27:27.359
 includes

00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:28.599
 you

00:27:28.599 --> 00:27:29.980
 and me

00:27:29.980 --> 00:27:35.099
 each

00:27:35.099 --> 00:27:35.639
 one of

00:27:35.639 --> 00:27:36.159
 us

00:27:36.159 --> 00:27:39.079
 needs

00:27:39.079 --> 00:27:39.759
 to be

00:27:39.759 --> 00:27:40.899
 united

00:27:40.899 --> 00:27:41.440
 in

00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:42.000
 Christ

00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:44.900
 for

00:27:44.900 --> 00:27:45.259
 without

00:27:45.259 --> 00:27:45.619
 his

00:27:45.619 --> 00:27:46.579
 headship

00:27:46.579 --> 00:27:48.640
 that's

00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:48.920
 what the

00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:49.299
 word

00:27:49.299 --> 00:27:51.099
 used in

00:27:51.099 --> 00:27:51.380
 the Greek

00:27:51.380 --> 00:27:51.920
 gestures

00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:52.420
 towards

00:27:52.420 --> 00:27:53.019
 it's

00:27:53.019 --> 00:27:53.819
 literally

00:27:53.819 --> 00:27:55.339
 all things

00:27:55.339 --> 00:27:55.519
 are going

00:27:55.519 --> 00:27:55.740
 to be

00:27:55.740 --> 00:27:56.960
 re-headed

00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:58.240
 in Christ

00:27:58.240 --> 00:28:00.019
 given a

00:28:00.019 --> 00:28:00.640
 new head

00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:02.140
 a new

00:28:02.140 --> 00:28:02.640
 mind

00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:04.859
 you know

00:28:04.859 --> 00:28:05.599
 sometimes my

00:28:05.599 --> 00:28:06.119
 body doesn't

00:28:06.119 --> 00:28:06.599
 obey me

00:28:06.599 --> 00:28:09.240
 increasingly I

00:28:09.240 --> 00:28:09.639
 find

00:28:09.639 --> 00:28:13.319
 my knees

00:28:13.319 --> 00:28:13.599
 gone

00:28:13.599 --> 00:28:14.139
 my legs

00:28:14.139 --> 00:28:14.500
 gone to

00:28:14.500 --> 00:28:14.819
 sleep

00:28:14.819 --> 00:28:15.240
 I've only

00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:15.679
 sat down

00:28:15.679 --> 00:28:15.959
 for ten

00:28:15.959 --> 00:28:16.299
 minutes

00:28:16.299 --> 00:28:18.419
 but there

00:28:18.419 --> 00:28:18.759
 are far

00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:19.659
 more

00:28:19.659 --> 00:28:20.399
 disobedient

00:28:20.399 --> 00:28:21.000
 things going

00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:21.459
 on in our

00:28:21.459 --> 00:28:21.839
 bodies

00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:22.480
 and our

00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:22.819
 hearts

00:28:22.819 --> 00:28:23.079
 aren't

00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:23.299
 there

00:28:23.299 --> 00:28:24.299
 you know

00:28:24.299 --> 00:28:25.000
 Paul really

00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:25.959
 nails it

00:28:25.959 --> 00:28:26.359
 in Romans

00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:26.779
 7

00:28:26.779 --> 00:28:28.399
 when he

00:28:28.399 --> 00:28:28.899
 talks about

00:28:28.899 --> 00:28:29.480
 the divided

00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:30.059
 heart

00:28:30.059 --> 00:28:32.480
 the thing

00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:33.500
 that I

00:28:33.500 --> 00:28:34.259
 so much

00:28:34.259 --> 00:28:34.960
 want to

00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:35.259
 do

00:28:35.259 --> 00:28:36.039
 I don't

00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:36.359
 do

00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:37.220
 I do

00:28:37.220 --> 00:28:37.619
 the thing

00:28:37.619 --> 00:28:38.279
 I hate

00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:39.899
 you know

00:28:39.899 --> 00:28:41.960
 that's

00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:43.940
 that's us

00:28:43.940 --> 00:28:44.319
 without

00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:44.919
 Christ's

00:28:44.919 --> 00:28:45.440
 headship

00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:49.000
 divided

00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:51.879
 torn

00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:54.520
 unbearably

00:28:54.520 --> 00:28:55.240
 diverse

00:28:55.240 --> 00:28:58.060
 and that's

00:28:58.060 --> 00:28:59.020
 so many

00:28:59.020 --> 00:28:59.420
 people

00:28:59.420 --> 00:29:00.540
 in our

00:29:00.540 --> 00:29:01.060
 society

00:29:01.060 --> 00:29:01.400
 now

00:29:01.400 --> 00:29:02.100
 are in

00:29:02.100 --> 00:29:02.320
 that

00:29:02.320 --> 00:29:02.960
 situation

00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:03.400
 they are

00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:03.900
 torn

00:29:03.900 --> 00:29:04.640
 apart

00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:06.500
 by different

00:29:06.500 --> 00:29:07.180
 desires and

00:29:07.180 --> 00:29:07.480
 urges

00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:07.980
 they can't

00:29:07.980 --> 00:29:08.520
 control

00:29:08.520 --> 00:29:13.480
 they know

00:29:13.480 --> 00:29:14.100
 what's right

00:29:14.100 --> 00:29:14.460
 they know

00:29:14.460 --> 00:29:14.700
 what they

00:29:14.700 --> 00:29:15.340
 want and

00:29:15.340 --> 00:29:15.960
 yearn for

00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:16.220
 but

00:29:16.220 --> 00:29:18.360
 they can't

00:29:18.360 --> 00:29:18.840
 do it

00:29:18.840 --> 00:29:19.740
 they do

00:29:19.740 --> 00:29:20.040
 the thing

00:29:20.040 --> 00:29:20.700
 they hate

00:29:20.700 --> 00:29:23.259
 they're not

00:29:23.259 --> 00:29:23.680
 just talking

00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:24.539
 about addicts

00:29:24.539 --> 00:29:25.519
 but they're

00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:25.880
 talking about

00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:26.460
 them certainly

00:29:26.460 --> 00:29:26.860
 there are

00:29:26.860 --> 00:29:27.340
 many things

00:29:27.340 --> 00:29:27.700
 we can be

00:29:27.700 --> 00:29:28.319
 addicted to

00:29:28.319 --> 00:29:30.519
 so much

00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:31.039
 stuff in

00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:31.680
 our society

00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:32.059
 now

00:29:32.059 --> 00:29:35.900
 and we

00:29:35.900 --> 00:29:36.420
 can be

00:29:36.420 --> 00:29:37.140
 re-headed

00:29:37.140 --> 00:29:38.580
 in Christ

00:29:38.580 --> 00:29:39.460
 we can have

00:29:39.460 --> 00:29:40.059
 the mind

00:29:40.059 --> 00:29:40.720
 of Christ

00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:43.600
 be united

00:29:43.600 --> 00:29:44.180
 in him

00:29:44.180 --> 00:29:45.059
 in our

00:29:45.059 --> 00:29:45.860
 inner selves

00:29:45.860 --> 00:29:49.600
 and all

00:29:49.600 --> 00:29:50.600
 the anger

00:29:50.599 --> 00:29:51.199
 fear and

00:29:51.199 --> 00:29:52.579
 fear and

00:29:52.579 --> 00:29:53.240
 the hatred

00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:55.779
 and the

00:29:55.779 --> 00:29:56.299
 despair

00:29:56.299 --> 00:29:58.179
 that we

00:29:58.179 --> 00:29:58.439
 know

00:29:58.439 --> 00:29:58.959
 sometimes

00:29:58.959 --> 00:29:59.379
 our inner

00:29:59.379 --> 00:29:59.939
 selves

00:29:59.939 --> 00:30:02.579
 can be

00:30:02.579 --> 00:30:04.839
 re-headed

00:30:04.839 --> 00:30:06.319
 united

00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:07.019
 in him

00:30:07.019 --> 00:30:11.439
 if you've

00:30:11.439 --> 00:30:11.939
 experienced

00:30:11.939 --> 00:30:12.319
 that

00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:13.919
 you know

00:30:13.919 --> 00:30:14.199
 what I'm

00:30:14.199 --> 00:30:14.819
 talking about

00:30:14.819 --> 00:30:17.359
 if you

00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:17.939
 haven't

00:30:17.940 --> 00:30:19.340
 it's on

00:30:19.340 --> 00:30:19.700
 offer

00:30:19.700 --> 00:30:20.320
 for you

00:30:20.320 --> 00:30:20.620
 this

00:30:20.620 --> 00:30:20.960
 morning

00:30:20.960 --> 00:30:24.539
 we

00:30:24.539 --> 00:30:25.840
 can be

00:30:25.840 --> 00:30:26.380
 part

00:30:26.380 --> 00:30:27.140
 of God's

00:30:27.140 --> 00:30:28.019
 great

00:30:28.019 --> 00:30:28.799
 plan

00:30:28.799 --> 00:30:29.980
 to unite

00:30:29.980 --> 00:30:31.000
 all things

00:30:31.000 --> 00:30:31.799
 in Christ

00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:32.680
 heaven

00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:33.740
 and earth

00:30:33.740 --> 00:30:35.720
 enemies

00:30:35.720 --> 00:30:37.299
 divided

00:30:37.299 --> 00:30:38.080
 churches

00:30:38.080 --> 00:30:39.400
 divided

00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:40.059
 people

00:30:40.059 --> 00:30:42.799
 it's on

00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:43.100
 offer

00:30:43.100 --> 00:30:43.799

00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:44.160
 grace

00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:44.580
 by the

00:30:44.580 --> 00:30:44.860
 riches

00:30:44.859 --> 00:30:45.279
 of his

00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:45.699
 grace

00:30:45.699 --> 00:30:46.639
 it's not

00:30:46.639 --> 00:30:47.139
 a secret

00:30:47.139 --> 00:30:47.759
 any longer

00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:48.399
 it's been

00:30:48.399 --> 00:30:49.099
 made known

00:30:49.099 --> 00:30:49.399
 on the

00:30:49.399 --> 00:30:49.859
 cross of

00:30:49.859 --> 00:30:50.299
 Christ

00:30:50.299 --> 00:30:51.139
 and his

00:30:51.139 --> 00:30:51.619
 blood

00:30:51.619 --> 00:30:52.539
 on the

00:30:52.539 --> 00:30:53.659

00:30:54.339 --> 00:30:55.159
 all things

00:30:55.159 --> 00:30:59.240
 and it's

00:30:59.240 --> 00:30:59.759
 here for us

00:30:59.759 --> 00:31:00.240
 this morning

00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:03.240

00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:03.619
 nation

00:31:03.619 --> 00:31:04.240
 our world

00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:05.079

00:31:06.279 --> 00:31:06.979
 one of us

00:31:06.979 --> 00:31:08.119
 and if you

00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:08.559
 don't know

00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:08.899
 what I'm

00:31:08.899 --> 00:31:09.579

00:31:10.699 --> 00:31:11.159
 or someone

00:31:11.159 --> 00:31:11.740
 else you know

00:31:11.740 --> 00:31:12.000
 in this

00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:12.339
 congregation

00:31:12.339 --> 00:31:13.019
 afterwards

00:31:13.019 --> 00:31:14.299
 and let

00:31:14.299 --> 00:31:14.799

00:31:16.779 --> 00:31:17.319
 grace

00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:18.119
 and only

00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:18.559
 by his

00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:18.939
 grace

00:31:18.939 --> 00:31:19.599
 find it

00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:20.019
 together

00:31:20.019 --> 00:31:21.919
 I'm sure

00:31:21.919 --> 00:31:22.159
 there'll be

00:31:22.159 --> 00:31:22.679
