00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:27.260
 I want you to turn in your Bibles this morning to John chapter 17.

00:00:27.260 --> 00:00:27.199
!

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:38.799
 John 17, verse 1.

00:00:38.799 --> 00:01:08.799


00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:24.539
 Let's pray together.

00:01:24.540 --> 00:01:35.600
 Father, this morning as we take your word in hand, and we remind ourselves at the very

00:01:35.600 --> 00:01:44.620
 outset that this word that we have is your clear and direct revelation to us, telling

00:01:44.620 --> 00:01:51.240
 us about our Lord Jesus, telling us all that we need for life and godliness.

00:01:52.780 --> 00:01:58.240
 And this morning as we hold this word and as we study it together, we are reminded that

00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:00.239
 we are dependent upon your spirit.

00:02:01.619 --> 00:02:04.299
 I'm dependent upon your spirit in preaching the word.

00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:10.759
 And your dear people are dependent upon the spirit in understanding and applying it that

00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:14.419
 their hearts may grow in affection for our Savior.

00:02:14.419 --> 00:02:21.060
 And that those who are here that do not know Christ this morning by your spirit would first

00:02:21.060 --> 00:02:27.079
 be convicted of their sin and drawn to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ in whom alone is salvation.

00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:34.940
 And we pray, Lord, this morning that the Lord Jesus would be the one that is exalted and lifted up,

00:02:35.180 --> 00:02:41.780
 and those of us that know him would grow in our affection and our love and our desire to please him.

00:02:41.780 --> 00:02:44.939
 And we ask this in Jesus' name.

00:02:46.259 --> 00:02:46.620
 Amen.

00:02:48.819 --> 00:02:53.900
 As we take up our study of John, we are coming towards the end of the book.

00:02:54.979 --> 00:03:01.460
 And if I were to ask you this morning what is the central unifying theme of the book of John,

00:03:01.780 --> 00:03:06.879
 you would tell me that we find that stated very clearly in the very end of the book.

00:03:06.920 --> 00:03:07.379
 Am I right?

00:03:07.379 --> 00:03:13.340
 These things are written that you might know that Jesus is the Christ

00:03:13.340 --> 00:03:16.259
 and that knowing and believing you might come to faith.

00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:21.460
 And so we are looking at a portion of the Scripture

00:03:21.460 --> 00:03:26.180
 and underlying the study this morning is this desire

00:03:26.180 --> 00:03:30.919
 that you who sit here under the hearing of the word of God

00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:33.000
 would grow in your love for the Lord Jesus.

00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:37.599
 And as a result of growing in that, you would be transformed from glory to glory,

00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.900
 as it says in 2 Corinthians, and grow to be more like him.

00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:45.680
 I trust that this morning as you look at this passage in John 17,

00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:51.900
 you realize that the gospel of John is different from the other synoptics in this sense.

00:03:52.900 --> 00:03:57.560
 John's gospel focuses primarily on the deity of Christ.

00:03:57.560 --> 00:03:57.640
 Christ.

00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:03.259
 The synoptics tell us more about what Jesus did,

00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:05.780
 what he did in his public ministry,

00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:10.659
 and how those things played out in the 33 years of his ministry here on earth.

00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:16.480
 And probably one of the characteristics that helps us see this so radically,

00:04:17.340 --> 00:04:19.060
 I mean, the difference between the two,

00:04:19.379 --> 00:04:23.519
 is particularly right here in the hours before the cross.

00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:27.879
 What we're looking at in John 17 is Jesus' prayer

00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:31.000
 before he goes to the Garden of Gethsemane.

00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:35.479
 The synoptics, Matthew, Mark, and Luke,

00:04:35.599 --> 00:04:38.399
 all tell us about the prayer in the Garden.

00:04:38.939 --> 00:04:41.959
 They don't tell us about this prayer,

00:04:42.379 --> 00:04:46.379
 which many Bible scholars refer to as Christ's high priestly prayer.

00:04:46.459 --> 00:04:48.899
 Now, that's an interesting comparison, isn't it?

00:04:49.579 --> 00:04:51.379
 Stop and think with me just for a moment.

00:04:51.379 --> 00:04:56.019
 What was the spirit that Jesus had when he was praying in the garden?

00:04:57.319 --> 00:04:58.279
 What was it like?

00:04:58.980 --> 00:04:59.620
 Can you think?

00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:03.779
 Let me have you refresh your memories by having you turn.

00:05:03.899 --> 00:05:05.219
 Keep your finger there in John.

00:05:05.740 --> 00:05:08.879
 But turn over, if you would, just for a moment to Mark chapter 14.

00:05:12.459 --> 00:05:14.399
 Mark chapter 14, verse 32.

00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:16.500
 And they went to a place called Gethsemane.

00:05:16.579 --> 00:05:17.639
 And he said to his disciples,

00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:19.699
 Sit here while I pray.

00:05:19.699 --> 00:05:20.879
 Stop just for a moment.

00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:25.839
 The prayer that we are going to study the next three weeks

00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:29.959
 is prayed prior to the Garden.

00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:35.139
 And we are going to note the radical difference between the two.

00:05:35.259 --> 00:05:36.560
 So here in verse 32,

00:05:37.019 --> 00:05:37.939
 Sit here while I pray.

00:05:38.039 --> 00:05:40.339
 And he took with him Peter, James, and John

00:05:40.339 --> 00:05:43.039
 and began to be greatly distressed and troubled.

00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:44.740
 And he said to them,

00:05:44.780 --> 00:05:46.520
 My soul is very sorrowful.

00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:48.720
 Even to death, remain here and watch.

00:05:49.080 --> 00:05:50.160
 And going a little further,

00:05:50.660 --> 00:05:53.100
 he fell on the ground and prayed that if it were possible,

00:05:53.460 --> 00:05:54.920
 the hour might pass from him.

00:05:54.960 --> 00:05:56.300
 It tells us in the book of Luke

00:05:56.300 --> 00:06:00.400
 that as he prayed in this very, very earnest

00:06:00.400 --> 00:06:03.160
 and passionate appeal to the Father,

00:06:03.400 --> 00:06:05.240
 it says that he was suffering to the point

00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:07.120
 that great drops of blood came.

00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:10.920
 And as you read the prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane,

00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:13.860
 you get a picture of Jesus suffering

00:06:13.860 --> 00:06:18.759
 in a fashion that we can sympathize with as human beings.

00:06:19.379 --> 00:06:21.340
 We can understand what it is

00:06:21.340 --> 00:06:23.620
 to have a certain level of anxiety

00:06:23.620 --> 00:06:25.699
 for what lies in front of us.

00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:26.959
 We've all been there, haven't we?

00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:28.439
 With one thing or another,

00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:30.560
 we're not sure how this is going to work out.

00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:32.759
 And there's a little bit of anxiety

00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:35.759
 and, oh man, do I really have to do this?

00:06:37.060 --> 00:06:38.819
 I have on many occasions

00:06:38.819 --> 00:06:41.980
 been with different people in our fellowship

00:06:41.980 --> 00:06:44.560
 prior to their going in for surgery.

00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.019
 And those who are not frequent flyers,

00:06:49.100 --> 00:06:51.079
 and by that I mean those who have

00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:53.340
 maybe one surgery in their lifetime,

00:06:53.699 --> 00:06:55.920
 some of us have been kind of in the environment

00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:57.100
 where, yeah, you can cut on me.

00:06:57.139 --> 00:06:58.579
 I know how that worked out last time.

00:06:58.579 --> 00:07:01.159
 Others like, I've never been here before.

00:07:01.259 --> 00:07:02.699
 Do I really have to do this?

00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:06.439
 And a little bit of anxiety.

00:07:06.620 --> 00:07:08.879
 And here's Jesus in the Garden praying his heart out.

00:07:11.699 --> 00:07:16.139
 In John, we see a completely different spirit.

00:07:18.139 --> 00:07:19.759
 And I want you to recognize

00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:22.360
 that the prayer in John 17

00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:24.959
 and the prayers in the Garden

00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:28.139
 were only separated by mere moments.

00:07:29.479 --> 00:07:30.699
 Very interesting.

00:07:31.599 --> 00:07:32.719
 In John, remember,

00:07:32.939 --> 00:07:35.359
 John's goal was to show us

00:07:35.359 --> 00:07:36.879
 the deity of Christ.

00:07:37.379 --> 00:07:38.740
 And here in John 17,

00:07:38.919 --> 00:07:39.899
 you're getting a window

00:07:39.899 --> 00:07:41.800
 into the heart of the Lord Jesus

00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:44.180
 as he prays prior to the cross

00:07:44.180 --> 00:07:46.319
 and he is thinking about the cross

00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:48.779
 with a divine perspective.

00:07:50.459 --> 00:07:52.159
 In Matthew, Mark, and Luke,

00:07:52.219 --> 00:07:53.000
 he is praying

00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:55.579
 with a very human understanding

00:07:55.579 --> 00:07:57.079
 of what is coming.

00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:59.680
 Now, as we put these two together,

00:07:59.919 --> 00:08:01.000
 we have to recognize

00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:01.740
 that the Scriptures

00:08:01.740 --> 00:08:05.719
 see Jesus as entirely human

00:08:05.719 --> 00:08:08.259
 and entirely God.

00:08:09.620 --> 00:08:11.699
 Not part human and part God.

00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:15.360
 Entirely, completely, in totality.

00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:19.659
 And we, in our finite minds,

00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:22.019
 struggle with keeping those two pieces together.

00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:22.680
 Isn't that true?

00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:24.280
 How many confess

00:08:24.280 --> 00:08:26.280
 that dealing with something

00:08:26.280 --> 00:08:27.800
 of this theological nature,

00:08:28.220 --> 00:08:30.120
 it's hard for us to press together?

00:08:30.819 --> 00:08:32.340
 We can focus on this part

00:08:32.340 --> 00:08:33.340
 or this part.

00:08:34.299 --> 00:08:35.340
 And John is going to help us

00:08:35.340 --> 00:08:36.360
 focus on the divine.

00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:37.000
 But remember

00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.080
 that the larger picture

00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:39.680
 of the Scripture

00:08:39.680 --> 00:08:40.580
 gives to us

00:08:40.580 --> 00:08:42.580
 the picture of the Lord Jesus Christ

00:08:42.580 --> 00:08:43.419
 as our Savior,

00:08:43.860 --> 00:08:44.740
 the God-man.

00:08:46.259 --> 00:08:47.799
 With that kind of as a background,

00:08:48.060 --> 00:08:49.259
 I want you to step now

00:08:49.259 --> 00:08:50.620
 to what we do find

00:08:50.620 --> 00:08:51.779
 here in John 17.

00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:53.799
 We're going to spend time

00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:55.759
 looking at Christ's prayer

00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:57.220
 prior to the cross

00:08:57.220 --> 00:08:59.220
 and a prayer that is not marked

00:08:59.220 --> 00:09:00.679
 by a single moment

00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:02.439
 of hesitation or caution.

00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:05.159
 We find, first of all,

00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:06.439
 in verse 1,

00:09:06.860 --> 00:09:08.299
 a personal request.

00:09:10.059 --> 00:09:11.179
 Here at this stage,

00:09:11.299 --> 00:09:12.980
 Jesus is praying to His Father,

00:09:13.500 --> 00:09:14.500
 and He is praying

00:09:14.500 --> 00:09:15.600
 without lament,

00:09:15.860 --> 00:09:17.039
 without anguish,

00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:18.120
 and He is praying

00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:19.639
 in a very objective way

00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:20.879
 about what lies

00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:21.899
 in front of Him.

00:09:22.980 --> 00:09:23.419
 Here,

00:09:23.939 --> 00:09:25.259
 He makes a statement there.

00:09:25.439 --> 00:09:25.819
 He says,

00:09:25.980 --> 00:09:28.019
 the hour has come.

00:09:28.659 --> 00:09:29.559
 If you were to work

00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:30.439
 your way back

00:09:30.439 --> 00:09:31.620
 through the life of Christ,

00:09:31.719 --> 00:09:32.179
 you would find

00:09:32.179 --> 00:09:33.120
 at various times,

00:09:33.500 --> 00:09:35.319
 He had made the statement,

00:09:35.740 --> 00:09:37.139
 the hour is not now.

00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:38.120
 It's not the time.

00:09:38.179 --> 00:09:38.980
 It's not the time.

00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:39.839
 It's not the time.

00:09:40.079 --> 00:09:41.759
 And there were various instances

00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:43.259
 in His public ministry

00:09:43.259 --> 00:09:44.679
 where He had made it clear

00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:46.500
 that this was not the moment,

00:09:46.979 --> 00:09:48.159
 the primary purpose

00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:48.819
 of His coming.

00:09:49.259 --> 00:09:50.339
 It was something

00:09:50.339 --> 00:09:51.459
 that was in the future.

00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:52.000
 And now,

00:09:52.139 --> 00:09:52.719
 here He is

00:09:52.719 --> 00:09:54.179
 in the shadow of the cross.

00:09:54.259 --> 00:09:54.539
 He says,

00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:55.099
 now,

00:09:55.359 --> 00:09:56.559
 the hour has come.

00:09:57.819 --> 00:09:58.639
 And as you think

00:09:58.639 --> 00:09:59.919
 about our Lord's ministry,

00:10:00.019 --> 00:10:00.899
 I want you to recognize

00:10:00.899 --> 00:10:02.819
 that from the very moment

00:10:02.819 --> 00:10:04.099
 of His arriving here

00:10:04.099 --> 00:10:04.620
 on the earth,

00:10:04.959 --> 00:10:07.059
 His face was set

00:10:07.059 --> 00:10:08.819
 towards Golgotha

00:10:08.819 --> 00:10:10.259
 and towards the ministry

00:10:10.259 --> 00:10:10.979
 on the cross

00:10:10.980 --> 00:10:12.639
 and Him dying

00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:13.879
 for my sins

00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:14.940
 and for your sins

00:10:14.940 --> 00:10:16.519
 as the remedy

00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:17.779
 for the fall.

00:10:18.580 --> 00:10:19.399
 We look here

00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:21.279
 and we find

00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:22.159
 that Jesus looks

00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:23.039
 at the cross

00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:24.300
 and look what it says there.

00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:25.220
 He says,

00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:27.019
 the hour has come.

00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:28.539
 Glorify your Son

00:10:28.539 --> 00:10:29.560
 that the Son

00:10:29.560 --> 00:10:30.639
 may glorify you.

00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:31.740
 He looked at the cross

00:10:31.740 --> 00:10:32.940
 and instead of seeing it

00:10:32.940 --> 00:10:34.480
 as a gross injustice

00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:36.120
 and a denial

00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:37.620
 of His basic rights

00:10:37.620 --> 00:10:38.460
 as a human being,

00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:39.399
 He looked at it

00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:39.639
 and said,

00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:41.199
 that's going to be my glory.

00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:44.039
 Instead of looking

00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:45.079
 with this heartache

00:10:45.079 --> 00:10:45.899
 and this sorrow

00:10:45.899 --> 00:10:47.860
 as we sometimes do

00:10:47.860 --> 00:10:49.779
 and not inappropriately so,

00:10:50.199 --> 00:10:50.720
 but remember,

00:10:50.819 --> 00:10:51.840
 there has to be a balance.

00:10:52.699 --> 00:10:53.939
 Jesus looked at the cross

00:10:53.939 --> 00:10:54.840
 and He looked at this thing

00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:55.139
 and He says,

00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:56.639
 this is the most glorious moment

00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:58.500
 of all of eternity

00:10:58.500 --> 00:10:59.139
 in history

00:10:59.139 --> 00:11:00.419
 and it is the moment

00:11:00.419 --> 00:11:01.980
 when God's amazing work

00:11:01.980 --> 00:11:02.620
 of salvation

00:11:02.620 --> 00:11:03.779
 is going to come

00:11:03.779 --> 00:11:04.620
 to full fruition.

00:11:05.419 --> 00:11:06.100
 So listen to what

00:11:06.100 --> 00:11:06.960
 Jesus says there.

00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:08.960
 Glorify your Son

00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:11.000
 that your Son

00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:12.780
 may glorify you.

00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:15.080
 Let's take those two pieces together

00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:16.500
 or one at a time here

00:11:16.500 --> 00:11:17.139
 just for a moment

00:11:17.139 --> 00:11:18.519
 and think them through

00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:20.040
 as we look at the passage.

00:11:20.920 --> 00:11:22.180
 We mark that Jesus

00:11:22.180 --> 00:11:23.600
 as He is making this statement,

00:11:23.780 --> 00:11:24.460
 He looks at

00:11:24.460 --> 00:11:25.780
 what was going to happen

00:11:25.780 --> 00:11:27.720
 and He sees

00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:29.980
 that His dying on the cross

00:11:29.980 --> 00:11:30.940
 was going to be

00:11:30.940 --> 00:11:32.000
 for our benefit

00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:32.960
 and for His glory.

00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:35.060
 He was glorified.

00:11:35.059 --> 00:11:36.439
 He was glorified

00:11:36.439 --> 00:11:38.419
 by dying on the cross

00:11:38.419 --> 00:11:39.459
 for our sins.

00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:41.099
 Now what is the glory in that?

00:11:41.179 --> 00:11:42.059
 Stop and think about it.

00:11:42.719 --> 00:11:43.539
 What is the glory

00:11:43.539 --> 00:11:44.819
 of Christ dying

00:11:44.819 --> 00:11:45.919
 for our sins

00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:47.099
 on the cross?

00:11:47.719 --> 00:11:49.019
 If you do something

00:11:49.019 --> 00:11:50.239
 that is necessary

00:11:50.239 --> 00:11:51.399
 and is an obligation,

00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:53.139
 is there any glory in that?

00:11:53.179 --> 00:11:53.799
 What's the answer?

00:11:55.259 --> 00:11:55.859
 Not really.

00:11:56.500 --> 00:11:57.559
 I think about the passage

00:11:57.559 --> 00:11:58.099
 in Luke

00:11:58.099 --> 00:11:59.439
 where it talks about

00:11:59.439 --> 00:12:00.219
 the servants

00:12:00.219 --> 00:12:01.319
 who served all day

00:12:01.319 --> 00:12:02.719
 and they did their work

00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:03.940
 and they did what was expected

00:12:03.940 --> 00:12:04.480
 of them

00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:06.139
 and even in the evening

00:12:06.139 --> 00:12:07.340
 when they came in

00:12:07.340 --> 00:12:07.940
 from the fields

00:12:07.940 --> 00:12:08.740
 the master says

00:12:08.740 --> 00:12:10.340
 I want you to take care

00:12:10.340 --> 00:12:11.480
 of cleaning up

00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:12.940
 and then cooking for me

00:12:12.940 --> 00:12:14.080
 and serving me.

00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:15.840
 And he says

00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:16.740
 does the master

00:12:16.740 --> 00:12:17.560
 thank them?

00:12:17.700 --> 00:12:17.940
 No.

00:12:18.259 --> 00:12:18.700
 Just hey,

00:12:18.940 --> 00:12:20.100
 you did your job.

00:12:20.500 --> 00:12:21.340
 You did your job.

00:12:22.160 --> 00:12:23.399
 There is no glory

00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:24.240
 in one sense

00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:25.019
 in doing that

00:12:25.019 --> 00:12:26.480
 which is understood

00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:27.800
 to be our responsibility

00:12:27.800 --> 00:12:29.960
 and so where is the glory

00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:31.680
 in Christ dying for us?

00:12:32.579 --> 00:12:34.059
 The glory lies in this.

00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:35.079
 It was something

00:12:35.079 --> 00:12:37.579
 that he did not need to do

00:12:37.579 --> 00:12:38.899
 in the sense of

00:12:38.899 --> 00:12:40.079
 divine obligation

00:12:40.079 --> 00:12:41.120
 other than the plan of God

00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:41.859
 and he did it

00:12:41.859 --> 00:12:43.659
 because of his love for us

00:12:43.659 --> 00:12:44.699
 and his willingness

00:12:44.699 --> 00:12:46.019
 to be part of what

00:12:46.019 --> 00:12:46.959
 the Father,

00:12:47.339 --> 00:12:47.699
 the Son,

00:12:47.779 --> 00:12:48.339
 and the Holy Ghost

00:12:48.339 --> 00:12:49.620
 had planned for our salvation.

00:12:50.819 --> 00:12:51.779
 It's interesting

00:12:51.779 --> 00:12:52.599
 that when you stop

00:12:52.599 --> 00:12:53.279
 and think about

00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:55.539
 this issue of salvation

00:12:55.539 --> 00:12:57.539
 as being a moment of glory

00:12:57.539 --> 00:12:59.579
 you stop and set it

00:12:59.579 --> 00:13:00.579
 against some other

00:13:00.580 --> 00:13:02.400
 of the spectacular works

00:13:02.400 --> 00:13:03.400
 that God has done

00:13:03.400 --> 00:13:04.500
 namely the matter

00:13:04.500 --> 00:13:05.160
 of creation.

00:13:06.100 --> 00:13:06.860
 And I want you to think

00:13:06.860 --> 00:13:07.639
 of what we find

00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:08.460
 in the book of Job

00:13:08.460 --> 00:13:09.460
 when it talks about

00:13:09.460 --> 00:13:10.960
 the angels observing

00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:12.720
 God in the creative acts

00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:14.139
 and as the angels

00:13:14.139 --> 00:13:15.360
 watch the heavens

00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:16.280
 come into being

00:13:16.280 --> 00:13:17.860
 and watch every aspect

00:13:17.860 --> 00:13:18.800
 of this creation

00:13:18.800 --> 00:13:20.480
 it says that they kind of

00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:21.680
 burst out in applause,

00:13:21.800 --> 00:13:22.020
 right?

00:13:22.100 --> 00:13:23.120
 They were pretty excited

00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:24.120
 seeing what God

00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:24.680
 was doing.

00:13:26.800 --> 00:13:27.980
 They appreciated

00:13:27.980 --> 00:13:28.960
 that evidence

00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:29.840
 of his power.

00:13:30.259 --> 00:13:31.019
 They appreciated

00:13:31.019 --> 00:13:31.920
 what they were

00:13:31.920 --> 00:13:33.560
 watching God create.

00:13:34.980 --> 00:13:36.000
 But when it comes

00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:36.620
 to the matter

00:13:36.620 --> 00:13:38.240
 of our redemption

00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:39.259
 and our salvation

00:13:39.259 --> 00:13:40.220
 I want you to stop

00:13:40.220 --> 00:13:41.019
 just for a moment

00:13:41.019 --> 00:13:42.539
 and think of how

00:13:42.539 --> 00:13:43.539
 it humbled them

00:13:43.539 --> 00:13:44.860
 to ponder this

00:13:44.860 --> 00:13:46.279
 imponderable thing

00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:46.600
 for them.

00:13:46.680 --> 00:13:47.519
 Turn over in your Bible

00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:48.220
 you're going to keep

00:13:48.220 --> 00:13:48.920
 your finger there

00:13:48.920 --> 00:13:50.200
 in John 17

00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:51.039
 but turn over

00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:52.700
 to 1 Peter chapter 1

00:13:52.700 --> 00:13:55.620
 we're talking about

00:13:55.620 --> 00:13:56.860
 the glory of Christ

00:13:56.860 --> 00:13:58.220
 and dying for our sins

00:13:58.220 --> 00:13:58.780
 and I want you

00:13:58.780 --> 00:13:59.340
 to understand

00:13:59.340 --> 00:14:00.780
 that it is a glory

00:14:00.780 --> 00:14:02.520
 that is transcendent

00:14:02.520 --> 00:14:03.980
 it is unbelievably

00:14:03.980 --> 00:14:05.080
 significant.

00:14:06.920 --> 00:14:08.460
 1 Peter chapter 1

00:14:08.460 --> 00:14:09.259
 verse 12

00:14:09.259 --> 00:14:15.680
 1 Peter chapter 1

00:14:15.680 --> 00:14:17.100
 verse 12

00:14:17.100 --> 00:14:19.000
 I want you to look

00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:19.660
 at verse 8

00:14:19.660 --> 00:14:20.879
 one of those verses

00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:22.360
 that even this morning

00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:24.039
 as I was praying

00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:25.120
 and preparing my heart

00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:25.759
 for this morning

00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:27.419
 this verse came

00:14:27.419 --> 00:14:28.059
 to my mind

00:14:28.059 --> 00:14:29.799
 though you have not

00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:30.299
 seen him

00:14:30.299 --> 00:14:31.059
 you love him

00:14:31.059 --> 00:14:32.519
 though you do not

00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:33.460
 now see him

00:14:33.460 --> 00:14:34.679
 you believe in him

00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:35.700
 and rejoice

00:14:35.700 --> 00:14:36.539
 with joy

00:14:36.539 --> 00:14:38.179
 that is inexpressible

00:14:38.179 --> 00:14:39.240
 and filled

00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:39.960
 with glory

00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:41.179
 your thoughts

00:14:41.179 --> 00:14:42.439
 of Jesus

00:14:42.439 --> 00:14:45.220
 rightly framed

00:14:45.220 --> 00:14:46.720
 are characterized

00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:47.899
 by satisfaction

00:14:47.899 --> 00:14:48.919
 and delight

00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:49.759
 let me say that

00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:50.980
 slowly

00:14:50.980 --> 00:14:53.100
 your thoughts

00:14:53.100 --> 00:14:53.779
 of Jesus

00:14:53.779 --> 00:14:55.539
 rightly framed

00:14:55.539 --> 00:14:58.779
 are characterized

00:14:58.779 --> 00:15:01.519
 by satisfaction

00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:02.720
 and delight

00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:07.240
 is that true

00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:08.259
 the answer is

00:15:08.259 --> 00:15:08.919
 yes

00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:10.139
 so if you're

00:15:10.139 --> 00:15:10.740
 sitting here

00:15:10.740 --> 00:15:12.159
 kind of dull

00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:13.439
 and indifferent

00:15:13.439 --> 00:15:14.799
 in your thinking

00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:15.779
 about Jesus

00:15:15.779 --> 00:15:17.120
 is the problem

00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:18.339
 with him

00:15:18.339 --> 00:15:20.459
 or is the problem

00:15:20.459 --> 00:15:21.279
 with a heart

00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:22.600
 that is distracted

00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:23.620
 by the moment

00:15:23.620 --> 00:15:24.799
 and distracted

00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:25.720
 by the life

00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:26.519
 that you're engaged

00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:26.819
 in

00:15:26.819 --> 00:15:28.019
 and you need

00:15:28.019 --> 00:15:28.939
 to reconcile

00:15:28.939 --> 00:15:29.579
 yourself

00:15:29.579 --> 00:15:30.399
 that you need

00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:30.860
 the enabling

00:15:30.860 --> 00:15:31.579
 of the Holy Spirit

00:15:31.579 --> 00:15:32.459
 to think properly

00:15:32.459 --> 00:15:33.019
 of Christ

00:15:33.019 --> 00:15:33.980
 that your heart

00:15:33.980 --> 00:15:34.860
 might be filled

00:15:34.860 --> 00:15:35.939
 with incredible

00:15:35.939 --> 00:15:37.199
 delight and satisfaction

00:15:37.199 --> 00:15:39.000
 Jesus

00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:40.419
 the very thought

00:15:40.419 --> 00:15:41.000
 of thee

00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:43.059
 with sweetness

00:15:43.059 --> 00:15:44.159
 fills my breast

00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:47.159
 we look here

00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:49.199
 and Peter says

00:15:49.199 --> 00:15:49.599
 listen

00:15:49.599 --> 00:15:51.179
 you believe in him

00:15:51.179 --> 00:15:51.699
 and rejoice

00:15:51.699 --> 00:15:52.199
 with joy

00:15:52.199 --> 00:15:53.319
 that is inexpressible

00:15:53.319 --> 00:15:54.639
 and filled with glory

00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:55.739
 obtaining the outcome

00:15:55.739 --> 00:15:56.319
 of your faith

00:15:56.319 --> 00:15:56.879
 the salvation

00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:57.639
 of your souls

00:15:57.639 --> 00:15:59.779
 concerning this salvation

00:15:59.779 --> 00:16:00.279
 wow

00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:01.099
 it's spectacular

00:16:01.099 --> 00:16:02.079
 that we're saved

00:16:02.079 --> 00:16:03.219
 the prophets

00:16:03.219 --> 00:16:03.979
 who prophesied

00:16:03.979 --> 00:16:04.679
 about the grace

00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:05.939
 that was to be yours

00:16:05.939 --> 00:16:06.599
 searched

00:16:06.599 --> 00:16:07.239
 and inquired

00:16:07.239 --> 00:16:07.799
 carefully

00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:09.219
 inquiring

00:16:09.219 --> 00:16:09.919
 what person

00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:10.359
 or time

00:16:10.359 --> 00:16:10.779
 the spirit

00:16:10.779 --> 00:16:11.179
 of Christ

00:16:11.179 --> 00:16:11.539
 in them

00:16:11.539 --> 00:16:12.259
 was indicating

00:16:12.259 --> 00:16:13.439
 when he predicted

00:16:13.439 --> 00:16:14.219
 the sufferings

00:16:14.219 --> 00:16:14.759
 of Christ

00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:15.979
 and the subsequent

00:16:15.979 --> 00:16:16.879
 glories

00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:19.159
 it was revealed

00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:19.679
 to them

00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:20.620
 that they were

00:16:20.620 --> 00:16:21.279
 serving not

00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:21.639
 themselves

00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:22.279
 but you

00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:23.199
 in the things

00:16:23.199 --> 00:16:24.359
 that have now

00:16:24.359 --> 00:16:25.039
 been announced

00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:25.379
 to you

00:16:25.379 --> 00:16:25.919
 through those

00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:26.399
 who preach

00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:27.219
 the good news

00:16:27.219 --> 00:16:27.799
 to you

00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:29.459
 by the Holy Spirit

00:16:29.459 --> 00:16:30.699
 sent from heaven

00:16:30.699 --> 00:16:32.299
 things which

00:16:32.299 --> 00:16:33.579
 the angels

00:16:33.579 --> 00:16:34.719
 what does it say

00:16:34.719 --> 00:16:35.959
 long

00:16:35.959 --> 00:16:36.919
 to look

00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:38.699
 have you ever

00:16:38.699 --> 00:16:39.919
 really wanted

00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:40.839
 to understand

00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:41.139
 something

00:16:41.139 --> 00:16:42.060
 really wanted

00:16:42.060 --> 00:16:42.740
 to understand

00:16:42.740 --> 00:16:43.320
 something

00:16:43.320 --> 00:16:44.540
 but it just

00:16:44.540 --> 00:16:46.160
 wasn't clicking

00:16:46.160 --> 00:16:48.080
 you ever been there

00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:50.080
 Andy Manweller

00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:50.680
 in his Sunday

00:16:50.680 --> 00:16:51.480
 school this morning

00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:52.960
 that was a phenomenal

00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:54.620
 little video clip

00:16:54.620 --> 00:16:55.860
 it's called

00:16:55.860 --> 00:16:56.680
 a speed artist

00:16:56.680 --> 00:16:57.580
 how would we look

00:16:57.580 --> 00:16:58.360
 it up on Google

00:16:58.360 --> 00:16:59.139
 or YouTube

00:16:59.139 --> 00:17:03.320
 a man painting

00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:04.240
 upside down

00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:04.799
 in a minute

00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:05.420
 and a half

00:17:05.420 --> 00:17:06.319
 it is just

00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:06.880
 really

00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:08.420
 phenomenal

00:17:08.420 --> 00:17:10.580
 he paints

00:17:10.580 --> 00:17:11.320
 this picture

00:17:11.320 --> 00:17:12.720
 upside down

00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:13.500
 in literally

00:17:13.500 --> 00:17:14.259
 one minute

00:17:14.259 --> 00:17:15.100
 and thirty seconds

00:17:15.100 --> 00:17:16.360
 and the last

00:17:16.360 --> 00:17:17.180
 millisecond

00:17:17.180 --> 00:17:18.120
 you're sitting there

00:17:18.120 --> 00:17:18.320
 thinking

00:17:18.320 --> 00:17:19.240
 what is that

00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:20.060
 and he turns

00:17:20.060 --> 00:17:20.480
 it around

00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:21.240
 and whoa

00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:22.779
 it's a picture

00:17:22.779 --> 00:17:24.580
 okay

00:17:24.580 --> 00:17:28.240
 apart from

00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:29.580
 God

00:17:29.580 --> 00:17:30.539
 giving to us

00:17:30.539 --> 00:17:31.600
 an understanding

00:17:31.600 --> 00:17:32.820
 of his son

00:17:32.820 --> 00:17:34.120
 and salvation

00:17:34.120 --> 00:17:35.360
 through grace

00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:36.339
 we would be

00:17:36.339 --> 00:17:36.819
 brain dead

00:17:36.819 --> 00:17:37.379
 would we not

00:17:37.379 --> 00:17:39.119
 the angels

00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:39.979
 don't get it

00:17:39.979 --> 00:17:41.179
 the angels

00:17:41.179 --> 00:17:42.079
 don't get it

00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:44.119
 they look

00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:45.119
 at the issue

00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:45.959
 of the holiness

00:17:45.959 --> 00:17:46.539
 of God

00:17:46.539 --> 00:17:47.199
 and the justice

00:17:47.199 --> 00:17:47.740
 of God

00:17:47.740 --> 00:17:48.659
 and the judgment

00:17:48.659 --> 00:17:49.179
 of God

00:17:49.179 --> 00:17:50.159
 and the reality

00:17:50.159 --> 00:17:50.699
 of sin

00:17:50.699 --> 00:17:51.619
 and what do

00:17:51.619 --> 00:17:52.479
 they understand

00:17:52.479 --> 00:17:54.000
 they understand

00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:54.339
 this

00:17:54.339 --> 00:17:55.219
 once and done

00:17:55.220 --> 00:17:57.279
 we

00:17:57.279 --> 00:17:59.440
 have received

00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:00.000
 a measure

00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:00.700
 of grace

00:18:00.700 --> 00:18:01.380
 and forgiveness

00:18:01.380 --> 00:18:02.640
 that angels

00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:03.880
 cannot get

00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:04.559
 their heads

00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:04.940
 around

00:18:04.940 --> 00:18:08.059
 and here

00:18:08.059 --> 00:18:08.740
 is Jesus

00:18:08.740 --> 00:18:10.680
 before he

00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:11.299
 goes to the

00:18:11.299 --> 00:18:11.759
 cross

00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:13.799
 saying this

00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:15.500
 father

00:18:15.500 --> 00:18:17.360
 glorify

00:18:17.360 --> 00:18:18.279
 your son

00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:19.579
 make me

00:18:19.579 --> 00:18:20.579
 spectacular

00:18:20.579 --> 00:18:22.660
 why

00:18:22.660 --> 00:18:24.880
 that I may

00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:25.620
 make you

00:18:25.620 --> 00:18:26.800
 spectacular

00:18:26.800 --> 00:18:28.660
 doesn't that

00:18:28.660 --> 00:18:28.900
 give you

00:18:28.900 --> 00:18:29.380
 cold chills

00:18:29.380 --> 00:18:31.920
 make me

00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:32.940
 spectacular

00:18:32.940 --> 00:18:35.080
 that I may

00:18:35.080 --> 00:18:36.160
 make you

00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:37.440
 spectacular

00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:41.240
 that's

00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:41.500
 Jesus'

00:18:41.740 --> 00:18:41.980
 prayer

00:18:41.980 --> 00:18:43.980
 we're

00:18:43.980 --> 00:18:44.560
 moments

00:18:44.560 --> 00:18:45.279
 away

00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:46.779
 from my

00:18:46.779 --> 00:18:48.240
 sacrificial

00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:48.720
 death

00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:49.500
 for the sins

00:18:49.500 --> 00:18:50.080
 of the whole

00:18:50.080 --> 00:18:50.540
 world

00:18:50.540 --> 00:18:51.880
 and in that

00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:52.340
 moment

00:18:52.339 --> 00:18:53.359
 make me

00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:54.199
 spectacular

00:18:54.199 --> 00:18:55.220
 that I

00:18:55.220 --> 00:18:55.879
 can make

00:18:55.879 --> 00:18:56.379
 you

00:18:56.379 --> 00:18:57.419
 spectacular

00:18:57.419 --> 00:19:01.740
 Jesus

00:19:01.740 --> 00:19:03.659
 was not

00:19:03.659 --> 00:19:04.500
 only glorified

00:19:04.500 --> 00:19:05.199
 on the cross

00:19:05.199 --> 00:19:05.859
 but he also

00:19:05.859 --> 00:19:06.679
 glorified the

00:19:06.679 --> 00:19:07.059
 father

00:19:07.059 --> 00:19:08.299
 in planning

00:19:08.299 --> 00:19:08.919
 our redemption

00:19:08.919 --> 00:19:11.699
 and so as

00:19:11.699 --> 00:19:12.240
 you think

00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:12.879
 about this

00:19:12.879 --> 00:19:13.259
 matter

00:19:13.259 --> 00:19:14.139
 this morning

00:19:14.139 --> 00:19:16.720
 and you

00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:17.379
 think about

00:19:17.379 --> 00:19:18.519
 the example

00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:19.259
 that Jesus

00:19:19.259 --> 00:19:20.519
 is to us

00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:23.059
 you look

00:19:23.059 --> 00:19:23.740
 at the

00:19:23.740 --> 00:19:24.240
 model

00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:24.819
 that our

00:19:24.819 --> 00:19:25.160
 savior

00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:25.960
 sets

00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:27.379
 of having

00:19:27.379 --> 00:19:28.200
 a singular

00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:28.900
 desire

00:19:28.900 --> 00:19:29.839
 that his

00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:30.859
 father might

00:19:30.859 --> 00:19:32.119
 be glorified

00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:33.559
 isn't that

00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:33.779
 right

00:19:33.779 --> 00:19:35.879
 and here

00:19:35.879 --> 00:19:36.599
 is Jesus

00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:37.180
 praying

00:19:37.180 --> 00:19:38.740
 I want

00:19:38.740 --> 00:19:39.579
 you to be

00:19:39.579 --> 00:19:40.420
 glorified

00:19:40.420 --> 00:19:41.180
 how

00:19:41.180 --> 00:19:42.299
 by glorifying

00:19:42.299 --> 00:19:42.619
 me

00:19:42.619 --> 00:19:44.319
 and so I

00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:44.720
 ask the

00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:45.579
 question that

00:19:45.579 --> 00:19:46.639
 I want

00:19:46.639 --> 00:19:46.899
 you to

00:19:46.899 --> 00:19:47.220

00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:52.720
 and think

00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:53.259
 about that

 am I

00:19:59.059 --> 00:20:01.359
 hey

00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:02.599
 you know one

00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:02.879
 of the things

00:20:02.879 --> 00:20:03.279
 I know

00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:04.299
 from personal

00:20:04.299 --> 00:20:04.859
 experience

00:20:04.859 --> 00:20:06.720
 when I spend

00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:07.339
 a lot of time

00:20:07.339 --> 00:20:07.960
 thinking about

00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:08.699
 myself and

00:20:08.699 --> 00:20:09.240
 my glory

00:20:09.240 --> 00:20:10.159
 I invariably

00:20:10.159 --> 00:20:10.599
 end up

00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:11.639
 quite unhappy

00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:13.900
 does anybody

00:20:13.900 --> 00:20:14.560
 identify with

00:20:14.560 --> 00:20:14.800
 me

00:20:14.800 --> 00:20:15.640
 how many

00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:15.740
 of you

00:20:15.740 --> 00:20:16.180
 understand

00:20:16.180 --> 00:20:17.120
 the more

00:20:17.120 --> 00:20:17.580
 you become

00:20:17.580 --> 00:20:18.040
 a navel

00:20:18.040 --> 00:20:18.420
 gazer

00:20:18.420 --> 00:20:18.860
 the less

00:20:18.860 --> 00:20:19.360
 happy you

00:20:19.360 --> 00:20:19.759
 become

00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:20.060
 do you know

00:20:20.060 --> 00:20:20.420
 what I mean

00:20:20.420 --> 00:20:20.920
 by a navel

00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:21.360
 gazer

00:20:21.360 --> 00:20:22.540
 do I need

00:20:22.540 --> 00:20:22.900
 to go into

00:20:22.900 --> 00:20:23.420
 biology

00:20:23.420 --> 00:20:24.420
 we'll stop

00:20:24.420 --> 00:20:24.640
 there

00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:25.620
 here's the

00:20:25.620 --> 00:20:25.880
 deal

00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:29.000
 father

00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:30.640
 I'm really

00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:31.380
 interested in

00:20:31.380 --> 00:20:32.040
 your glory

00:20:32.040 --> 00:20:34.000
 and you

00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:34.820
 work in me

00:20:34.820 --> 00:20:35.340
 that you

00:20:35.340 --> 00:20:35.820
 might get

00:20:35.820 --> 00:20:36.240
 glory

00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:39.660
 am I

00:20:39.660 --> 00:20:40.200
 passionate

00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:42.019
 like Jesus

00:20:42.019 --> 00:20:42.620
 was

00:20:42.620 --> 00:20:43.960
 about the

00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:44.420
 father's

00:20:44.420 --> 00:20:44.799
 glory

00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:46.620
 well let's

00:20:46.620 --> 00:20:47.340
 look secondly

00:20:47.340 --> 00:20:48.519
 at verse

00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:49.220
 two and

00:20:49.220 --> 00:20:49.640
 three

00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:51.940
 since you've

00:20:51.940 --> 00:20:52.279
 given him

00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:53.120
 authority over

00:20:53.120 --> 00:20:53.880
 all flesh to

00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:54.360
 give eternal

00:20:54.360 --> 00:20:55.000
 life to all

00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:55.420
 whom you've

00:20:55.420 --> 00:20:55.840
 given him

00:20:55.840 --> 00:20:57.920
 we can't

00:20:57.920 --> 00:20:58.680
 miss the

00:20:58.680 --> 00:20:59.160
 fact that

00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:00.019
 Jesus understood

00:21:00.019 --> 00:21:00.640
 that he was

00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:01.200
 the sovereign

00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:02.000
 lord of all

00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:03.680
 and that the

00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:04.140
 father had

00:21:04.140 --> 00:21:04.600
 given him

00:21:04.600 --> 00:21:05.620
 complete authority

00:21:05.620 --> 00:21:06.100
 one of the

00:21:06.100 --> 00:21:06.600
 interesting

00:21:06.600 --> 00:21:08.059
 lines of

00:21:08.059 --> 00:21:08.799
 logic in

00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:09.440
 relationship

00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:10.160
 to this

00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:10.580
 is that

00:21:10.580 --> 00:21:12.360
 in the

00:21:12.360 --> 00:21:13.039
 apostolic

00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:13.720
 preaching of

00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:14.340
 the cross

00:21:14.340 --> 00:21:15.000
 on

00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:15.779
 Pentecost

00:21:15.779 --> 00:21:17.600
 Peter as

00:21:17.600 --> 00:21:18.080
 he's preaching

00:21:18.080 --> 00:21:18.759
 to the crowd

00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:19.160
 he says

00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:19.580
 listen

00:21:19.580 --> 00:21:20.620
 the ones

00:21:20.620 --> 00:21:21.080
 who you've

00:21:21.080 --> 00:21:21.240
 been

00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:21.900
 who you

00:21:21.900 --> 00:21:22.480
 crucified

00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:23.400
 is the

00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:23.740
 one who

00:21:23.740 --> 00:21:24.279
 now has

00:21:24.279 --> 00:21:24.799
 authority

00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:25.480
 to judge

00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:25.720
 you

00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:26.360
 I mean

00:21:26.360 --> 00:21:26.820
 can you

00:21:26.820 --> 00:21:27.279
 imagine

00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:27.660
 just I

00:21:27.660 --> 00:21:27.900
 want you

00:21:27.900 --> 00:21:28.299
 to imagine

00:21:28.299 --> 00:21:28.779
 this just

00:21:28.779 --> 00:21:29.340
 temporarily

00:21:29.340 --> 00:21:30.799
 that you

00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:31.160
 have been

00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:31.660
 apprehended

00:21:31.660 --> 00:21:32.120
 for some

00:21:32.120 --> 00:21:32.580
 vile

00:21:32.580 --> 00:21:33.019
 criminal

00:21:33.019 --> 00:21:33.480
 deed

00:21:38.299 --> 00:21:38.519
 guy

00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:39.099
 trundling

00:21:39.099 --> 00:21:39.719
 through the

00:21:39.719 --> 00:21:40.199
 lobby

00:21:40.199 --> 00:21:40.579
 on his

00:21:40.579 --> 00:21:40.859
 way

00:21:40.859 --> 00:21:41.539
 and you're

00:21:41.539 --> 00:21:41.959
 having a

00:21:41.959 --> 00:21:42.579
 bad attitude

00:21:42.579 --> 00:21:43.099
 and so you

00:21:43.099 --> 00:21:43.579
 say something

00:21:43.579 --> 00:21:44.259
 snarky to

00:21:44.259 --> 00:21:44.479

00:22:33.879 --> 00:22:34.919
 broad sense

00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:35.519
 what Jesus

00:22:35.519 --> 00:22:36.060
 is talking

00:22:36.060 --> 00:22:36.600
 about here

00:22:57.200 --> 00:22:57.800
 hands around

00:22:57.800 --> 00:22:58.580
 for one

00:22:58.580 --> 00:22:59.460
 salvation is

00:22:59.460 --> 00:23:00.120
 something he

00:23:00.120 --> 00:23:00.820
 gives not

00:23:00.820 --> 00:23:01.500
 something we

00:23:01.500 --> 00:23:01.820
 earn

00:23:01.820 --> 00:23:02.560
 look at what

00:23:02.560 --> 00:23:03.039
 it says there

00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:03.400
 in verse

00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:03.700
 two

00:23:03.700 --> 00:23:04.440
 since you

00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:04.900
 have given

00:23:04.900 --> 00:23:05.539
 him authority

00:23:05.539 --> 00:23:06.220
 to give

00:23:06.220 --> 00:23:06.860
 eternal life

00:23:06.860 --> 00:23:07.380
 to all who

00:23:07.380 --> 00:23:07.940
 you have

00:23:07.940 --> 00:23:08.519
 given him

00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:09.440
 where does

00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:10.440
 eternal life

00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:11.240
 come from

00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:12.799
 is it

00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:13.660
 something that

00:23:13.660 --> 00:23:14.480
 I earn

00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:15.660
 is it

00:23:15.660 --> 00:23:16.299
 something that

00:23:16.299 --> 00:23:17.180
 I decide

00:23:17.180 --> 00:23:18.120
 is it

00:23:18.120 --> 00:23:18.819
 something that

00:23:18.819 --> 00:23:19.720
 is entirely

00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:20.420
 up to me

00:23:20.420 --> 00:23:20.880
 and what is

00:23:20.880 --> 00:23:21.400
 the answer

00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:22.160
 in this

00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:22.559
 passage

00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:22.960
 it says

00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:23.259
 hey

00:23:23.259 --> 00:23:24.420
 it is

00:23:24.420 --> 00:23:25.100
 something that

00:23:25.100 --> 00:23:25.740
 I have been

00:23:25.740 --> 00:23:26.600
 given by his

00:23:26.600 --> 00:23:27.100
 grace

00:23:27.100 --> 00:23:28.160
 not something

00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:28.620
 that I've

00:23:28.620 --> 00:23:29.340
 ever earned

00:23:29.340 --> 00:23:31.120
 individual came

00:23:31.120 --> 00:23:31.559
 up to me

00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:32.319
 earlier today

00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:32.680
 and said

00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:32.920
 you know

00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:33.299
 pastor

00:23:33.299 --> 00:23:34.740
 I had an

00:23:34.740 --> 00:23:35.180
 opportunity to

00:23:35.180 --> 00:23:35.460
 share the

00:23:35.460 --> 00:23:35.980
 gospel with

00:23:35.980 --> 00:23:36.319
 somebody

00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:37.599
 and actually

00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:38.200
 I had somebody

00:23:38.200 --> 00:23:39.119
 say to me

00:23:39.119 --> 00:23:40.960
 they've been a

00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:41.279
 pretty good

00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:42.059
 person

00:23:42.059 --> 00:23:43.720
 you know

00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:44.099
 it's like

00:23:44.099 --> 00:23:44.419
 hey

00:23:44.419 --> 00:23:45.039
 really

00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:46.419
 are you

00:23:46.419 --> 00:23:46.740
 going to go

00:23:46.740 --> 00:23:47.079
 to heaven

00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:47.619
 because you're

00:23:47.619 --> 00:23:48.059
 a pretty good

00:23:48.059 --> 00:23:48.399
 person

00:23:48.399 --> 00:23:48.819
 what's the

00:23:48.819 --> 00:23:49.259
 answer

00:23:49.259 --> 00:23:52.220
 is this a

00:23:52.220 --> 00:23:52.799
 Baptist crowd

00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:54.879
 it is

00:23:54.879 --> 00:23:58.639
 here's the

00:23:58.639 --> 00:23:58.899
 secret

00:23:58.899 --> 00:23:59.359
 you're not

00:23:59.359 --> 00:23:59.759
 going to heaven

00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:00.180
 because you're

00:24:00.180 --> 00:24:00.539
 a pretty good

00:24:00.539 --> 00:24:00.819
 person

00:24:00.819 --> 00:24:01.220
 you're a

00:24:01.220 --> 00:24:02.119
 lousy rat

00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:04.679
 a couple

00:24:04.679 --> 00:24:05.099
 weeks ago

00:24:05.099 --> 00:24:05.399
 when I had

00:24:05.399 --> 00:24:05.959
 the privilege

00:24:05.959 --> 00:24:06.500
 of presenting

00:24:06.500 --> 00:24:07.019
 the gospel

00:24:07.019 --> 00:24:07.279
 at a

00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:07.799
 graveside

00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:08.059
 you know

00:24:08.059 --> 00:24:08.559
 I have

00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:09.159
 no hesitation

00:24:09.159 --> 00:24:09.599
 of telling

00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:09.979
 people

00:24:09.979 --> 00:24:13.339
 we're all

00:24:13.339 --> 00:24:14.219
 miserably sick

00:24:14.219 --> 00:24:15.159
 and sinful

00:24:15.159 --> 00:24:16.019
 and apart

00:24:16.019 --> 00:24:16.519
 from Jesus

00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:17.139
 we have no

00:24:17.139 --> 00:24:17.779
 eternal hope

00:24:17.779 --> 00:24:18.079
 right

00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:20.139
 and here

00:24:20.139 --> 00:24:20.739
 is Jesus

00:24:20.739 --> 00:24:21.679
 explaining the

00:24:21.679 --> 00:24:22.500
 reality that

00:24:22.500 --> 00:24:23.199
 salvation is

00:24:23.199 --> 00:24:23.799
 something that

00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:24.659
 he has given

00:24:24.659 --> 00:24:24.959
 to us

00:24:24.959 --> 00:24:25.459
 we don't earn

00:24:25.459 --> 00:24:25.659
 it

00:24:25.659 --> 00:24:27.399
 he gives

00:24:27.399 --> 00:24:27.899
 us eternal

00:24:27.900 --> 00:24:28.400
 life

00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:30.800
 furthermore

00:24:30.800 --> 00:24:31.759
 mark what

00:24:31.759 --> 00:24:32.100
 it says

00:24:32.100 --> 00:24:32.400
 here

00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:33.580
 the saved

00:24:33.580 --> 00:24:34.080
 ones are

00:24:34.080 --> 00:24:34.480
 the ones

00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:34.800
 that the

00:24:34.800 --> 00:24:35.400
 father has

00:24:35.400 --> 00:24:35.920
 given to

00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:36.300
 Jesus

00:24:36.300 --> 00:24:36.800
 look at the

00:24:36.800 --> 00:24:37.660
 passage there

00:24:37.660 --> 00:24:39.759
 to give

00:24:39.759 --> 00:24:40.360
 eternal life

00:24:40.360 --> 00:24:41.140
 to all whom

00:24:41.140 --> 00:24:41.860
 you have

00:24:41.860 --> 00:24:42.920
 given him

00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:44.680
 now

00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:45.860
 I have to

00:24:45.860 --> 00:24:46.280
 tell you

00:24:46.280 --> 00:24:46.700
 that the

00:24:46.700 --> 00:24:47.500
 passage is

00:24:47.500 --> 00:24:48.360
 pretty explicit

00:24:48.360 --> 00:24:49.220
 in explaining

00:24:49.220 --> 00:24:49.960
 that the issue

00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:50.620
 of salvation

00:24:50.620 --> 00:24:51.580
 is something

00:24:51.580 --> 00:24:52.180
 that is in

00:24:52.180 --> 00:24:52.900
 God's hands

00:24:52.900 --> 00:24:54.700
 it is in

00:24:54.700 --> 00:24:55.340
 God's hands

00:24:55.339 --> 00:24:56.799
 now can I

00:24:56.799 --> 00:24:57.579
 put together

00:24:57.579 --> 00:24:58.579
 the reality

00:24:58.579 --> 00:24:59.379
 of the

00:24:59.379 --> 00:25:00.019
 sovereignty of

00:25:00.019 --> 00:25:00.459
 God in

00:25:00.459 --> 00:25:01.019
 salvation

00:25:01.019 --> 00:25:01.859
 and the

00:25:01.859 --> 00:25:02.899
 responsibility of

00:25:02.899 --> 00:25:04.139
 man in

00:25:04.139 --> 00:25:05.220
 calling out

00:25:05.220 --> 00:25:06.039
 for salvation

00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:06.639
 and the answer

00:25:06.639 --> 00:25:07.439
 is no

00:25:07.439 --> 00:25:08.079
 and I don't

00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:08.539
 have to

00:25:08.539 --> 00:25:09.799
 I accept

00:25:09.799 --> 00:25:10.379
 both of them

00:25:10.379 --> 00:25:10.799
 equally

00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:11.799
 the same as

00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:12.339
 I accept

00:25:12.339 --> 00:25:13.119
 follow me

00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:13.459
 carefully

00:25:13.459 --> 00:25:14.919
 that Jesus

00:25:14.919 --> 00:25:15.579
 is all

00:25:15.579 --> 00:25:16.019
 man

00:25:16.019 --> 00:25:17.319
 100%

00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:18.259
 and he is

00:25:18.259 --> 00:25:19.059
 all God

00:25:19.059 --> 00:25:21.039
 I accept

00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:21.279
 it

00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:22.480
 I accept

00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:22.799
 it

00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:23.720
 and I don't

00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:24.240
 have a problem

00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:24.659
 with that

00:25:24.660 --> 00:25:26.360
 and when

00:25:26.360 --> 00:25:26.720
 we get

00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:27.320
 carried away

00:25:27.320 --> 00:25:27.960
 on one side

00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:28.400
 or the other

00:25:28.400 --> 00:25:28.880
 of this whole

00:25:28.880 --> 00:25:29.080
 thing

00:25:29.080 --> 00:25:29.540
 we end up

00:25:29.540 --> 00:25:30.120
 with attitudes

00:25:30.120 --> 00:25:30.759
 invariably

00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:31.759
 that reflect

00:25:31.759 --> 00:25:32.700
 the fleshliness

00:25:32.700 --> 00:25:33.400
 of our own

00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:33.720
 hearts

00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:34.500
 and argument

00:25:34.500 --> 00:25:35.100
 of the spirit

00:25:35.100 --> 00:25:35.420
 and it's

00:25:35.420 --> 00:25:36.120
 not of the

00:25:36.120 --> 00:25:36.460
 Lord

00:25:36.460 --> 00:25:38.000
 I want you

00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:38.340
 to look a

00:25:38.340 --> 00:25:38.600
 little bit

00:25:38.600 --> 00:25:39.180
 more as we

00:25:39.180 --> 00:25:39.560
 go into

00:25:39.560 --> 00:25:40.080
 the passage

00:25:40.080 --> 00:25:40.440
 here

00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:40.960
 and mark

00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:41.200
 what it

00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:41.560
 says there

00:25:41.560 --> 00:25:41.900
 in verse

00:25:41.900 --> 00:25:42.180
 3

00:25:42.180 --> 00:25:43.160
 and this

00:25:43.160 --> 00:25:43.660
 is eternal

00:25:43.660 --> 00:25:44.200
 life

00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:46.019
 that they

00:25:46.019 --> 00:25:46.620
 may know

00:25:46.620 --> 00:25:46.860
 you

00:25:46.860 --> 00:25:47.300
 the only

00:25:47.300 --> 00:25:48.100
 true God

00:25:48.100 --> 00:25:50.940
 I want you

00:25:50.940 --> 00:25:51.440
 to recognize

00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:52.240
 this morning

00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:53.240
 listen to me

00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:53.560
 carefully

00:25:53.560 --> 00:25:54.019
 so you don't

00:25:54.019 --> 00:25:54.620
 miss this

00:25:54.619 --> 00:25:56.059
 everybody

00:25:56.059 --> 00:25:56.579
 lives

00:25:56.579 --> 00:25:57.019
 forever

00:25:57.019 --> 00:25:59.579
 everybody

00:25:59.579 --> 00:26:00.119
 lives

00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:00.579
 forever

00:26:00.579 --> 00:26:02.000
 do you

00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:02.279
 understand

00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:02.639
 that

00:26:02.639 --> 00:26:04.239
 everybody

00:26:04.239 --> 00:26:04.779
 lives

00:26:04.779 --> 00:26:05.199
 forever

00:26:05.199 --> 00:26:07.299
 and so

00:26:07.299 --> 00:26:08.319
 the real

00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:09.119
 blessing

00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:09.959
 is not

00:26:09.959 --> 00:26:10.419
 that we

00:26:10.419 --> 00:26:10.939
 receive

00:26:10.939 --> 00:26:11.379
 eternal

00:26:11.379 --> 00:26:11.879
 life

00:26:11.879 --> 00:26:12.579
 the real

00:26:12.579 --> 00:26:13.000
 blessing

00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:13.539
 is what

00:26:13.539 --> 00:26:14.039
 kind of

00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:14.399
 eternal

00:26:14.399 --> 00:26:14.799
 life

00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:15.019
 we

00:26:15.019 --> 00:26:15.899
 receive

00:26:15.899 --> 00:26:22.859
 death

00:26:22.859 --> 00:26:23.339
 would not

00:26:23.339 --> 00:26:23.959
 be frightening

00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:27.960
 if those

00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:28.519
 who died

00:26:28.519 --> 00:26:29.180
 apart from

00:26:29.180 --> 00:26:29.539
 Christ

00:26:29.539 --> 00:26:29.740
 were

00:26:29.740 --> 00:26:30.400
 annihilated

00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:30.720
 and

00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:31.259
 disappeared

00:26:31.259 --> 00:26:31.640
 into

00:26:31.640 --> 00:26:32.000
 nothing

00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:34.500
 the Bible

00:26:34.500 --> 00:26:35.120
 gives us a

00:26:35.120 --> 00:26:35.860
 clear indication

00:26:35.860 --> 00:26:36.420
 that those

00:26:36.420 --> 00:26:36.920
 who die

00:26:36.920 --> 00:26:37.600
 apart from

00:26:37.600 --> 00:26:38.000
 Christ

00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:39.400
 suffer for

00:26:39.400 --> 00:26:40.200
 all of

00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:40.840
 eternity

00:26:40.839 --> 00:26:42.119
 they have

00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:41.000
 eternity

00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:42.119
 they have

00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:43.079
 eternal

00:26:43.079 --> 00:26:43.939
 life

00:26:43.939 --> 00:26:46.299
 and it

00:26:46.299 --> 00:26:46.759
 is something

00:26:46.759 --> 00:26:47.359
 that should

00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:47.839
 give us

00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:48.299
 pause

00:26:48.299 --> 00:26:48.639
 when we

00:26:48.639 --> 00:26:49.199
 stop and

00:26:49.199 --> 00:26:49.679
 think about

00:26:49.679 --> 00:26:50.279
 those that

00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:50.879
 we love

00:26:50.879 --> 00:26:51.659
 that do

00:26:51.659 --> 00:26:52.179
 not know

00:26:52.179 --> 00:26:52.799
 the Lord

00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:53.119
 Jesus

00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:53.599
 Christ

00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:54.500
 our prayers

00:26:54.500 --> 00:26:55.039
 should be

00:26:55.039 --> 00:26:56.039
 incessantly

00:26:56.039 --> 00:26:57.619
 begging for

00:26:57.619 --> 00:26:58.539
 their redemption

00:26:58.539 --> 00:26:59.220
 and their

00:26:59.220 --> 00:26:59.799
 salvation

00:26:59.799 --> 00:27:00.980
 because apart

00:27:00.980 --> 00:27:01.559
 from Christ

00:27:01.559 --> 00:27:02.099
 they will

00:27:02.099 --> 00:27:02.699
 live forever

00:27:02.699 --> 00:27:03.459
 and it will

00:27:03.459 --> 00:27:04.199
 be a heartache

00:27:04.199 --> 00:27:05.079
 of unbelievable

00:27:05.079 --> 00:27:05.720
 imagination

00:27:05.720 --> 00:27:08.920
 so here we

00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:09.319
 look at the

00:27:09.319 --> 00:27:09.940
 passage

00:27:09.940 --> 00:27:11.620
 and we

00:27:11.620 --> 00:27:12.360
 understand that

00:27:12.360 --> 00:27:13.140
 Jesus is making

00:27:13.140 --> 00:27:13.660
 a statement

00:27:13.660 --> 00:27:14.720
 and this is

00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:15.480
 eternal life

00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:16.720
 that they may

00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:17.519
 know you

00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:18.660
 the only true

00:27:18.660 --> 00:27:19.539
 God and

00:27:19.539 --> 00:27:20.400
 Jesus Christ

00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:21.380
 that you have

00:27:21.380 --> 00:27:21.720
 sent

00:27:21.720 --> 00:27:23.299
 so how is it

00:27:23.299 --> 00:27:23.940
 that I end up

00:27:23.940 --> 00:27:24.519
 knowing God

00:27:24.519 --> 00:27:26.480
 oh brains

00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:27.200
 yeah

00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:28.400
 really

00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:29.299
 really brains

00:27:29.299 --> 00:27:30.019
 it's just all

00:27:30.019 --> 00:27:30.559
 about me being

00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:31.079
 so smart

00:27:31.079 --> 00:27:31.819
 that I figured

00:27:31.819 --> 00:27:32.240
 it out

00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:32.940
 do you follow

00:27:32.940 --> 00:27:33.279
 that

00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:34.960
 turn back

00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:35.200
 in your

00:27:35.200 --> 00:27:35.440
 Bible

00:27:35.440 --> 00:27:35.980
 just for a

00:27:35.980 --> 00:27:36.220
 moment

00:27:36.220 --> 00:27:38.099
 not turn

00:27:38.099 --> 00:27:38.319
 back

00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:38.980
 turn forward

00:27:38.980 --> 00:27:39.279
 in your

00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:39.619
 Bible

00:27:39.619 --> 00:27:40.839
 to 1

00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:41.240
 Corinthians

00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:41.980
 chapter 1

00:27:41.980 --> 00:27:42.720
 just take

00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:43.420
 a second

00:27:43.420 --> 00:27:46.740
 here is

00:27:46.740 --> 00:27:47.299
 Paul

00:27:47.299 --> 00:27:48.319
 explaining

00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:49.440
 the issue

00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:50.460
 of salvation

00:27:50.460 --> 00:27:51.980
 and how

00:27:51.980 --> 00:27:52.480
 it is

00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:53.139
 that we

00:27:53.139 --> 00:27:53.759
 have come

00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:54.799
 to appreciate

00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:55.259
 the Lord

00:27:55.259 --> 00:27:56.019
 Jesus Christ

00:27:56.019 --> 00:27:56.480
 as our

00:27:56.480 --> 00:27:56.879
 Savior

00:27:56.879 --> 00:27:59.259
 where is

00:27:59.259 --> 00:27:59.559
 the one

00:27:59.559 --> 00:27:59.859
 who is

00:27:59.859 --> 00:28:00.259
 wise

00:28:00.259 --> 00:28:00.980
 verse 20

00:28:00.980 --> 00:28:02.240
 1 Corinthians

00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:03.140
 1 verse 20

00:28:03.140 --> 00:28:03.480
 where is

00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:03.740
 the one

00:28:03.740 --> 00:28:04.000
 who is

00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:04.440
 wise

00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:05.059
 where is

00:28:05.059 --> 00:28:05.579
 the scribe

00:28:05.579 --> 00:28:05.920
 where is

00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:06.420
 the debater

00:28:06.420 --> 00:28:06.779
 of this

00:28:06.779 --> 00:28:07.059
 age

00:28:07.059 --> 00:28:07.859
 has not

00:28:07.859 --> 00:28:08.279
 God

00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:08.619
 made

00:28:08.619 --> 00:28:09.119
 foolish

00:28:09.119 --> 00:28:09.700
 the wisdom

00:28:09.700 --> 00:28:10.119
 of this

00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:10.579
 world

00:28:10.579 --> 00:28:12.480
 did you

00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:12.900
 figure it

00:28:12.900 --> 00:28:13.220
 out on

00:28:13.220 --> 00:28:13.720
 your own

00:28:13.720 --> 00:28:15.160
 in fact

00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:15.440
 if you

00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:15.980
 look around

00:28:15.980 --> 00:28:16.700
 you recognize

00:28:16.700 --> 00:28:17.339
 that God

00:28:17.339 --> 00:28:17.960
 chose

00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:18.400
 as it

00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:18.660
 says

00:28:18.660 --> 00:28:19.500
 there in

00:28:19.500 --> 00:28:20.259
 verse 28

00:28:20.259 --> 00:28:20.900
 what is

00:28:20.900 --> 00:28:21.339
 low and

00:28:21.339 --> 00:28:21.900
 despised

00:28:21.900 --> 00:28:22.140
 in the

00:28:22.140 --> 00:28:22.379
 world

00:28:22.379 --> 00:28:23.079
 even things

00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:23.339
 that are

00:28:23.339 --> 00:28:23.740
 not

00:28:23.740 --> 00:28:24.399
 to bring

00:28:24.399 --> 00:28:24.879
 to nothing

00:28:24.879 --> 00:28:25.279
 things

00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:25.799
 that are

00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:27.579
 and verse

00:28:27.579 --> 00:28:28.119
 29

00:28:28.119 --> 00:28:28.699
 so that

00:28:28.699 --> 00:28:29.359
 no human

00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:29.879
 being may

00:28:29.879 --> 00:28:30.339
 boast in

00:28:30.339 --> 00:28:30.779
 the presence

00:28:30.779 --> 00:28:31.319
 of God

00:28:31.319 --> 00:28:32.199
 and because

00:28:32.199 --> 00:28:32.579
 of him

00:28:32.579 --> 00:28:33.339
 you are

00:28:33.339 --> 00:28:33.980
 in Christ

00:28:33.980 --> 00:28:34.419
 Jesus

00:28:34.419 --> 00:28:35.679
 who became

00:28:35.679 --> 00:28:36.259
 to us

00:28:36.259 --> 00:28:36.779
 wisdom

00:28:36.779 --> 00:28:37.399
 from God

00:28:37.399 --> 00:28:38.240
 righteousness

00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:39.679
 and sanctification

00:28:39.679 --> 00:28:40.679
 and redemption

00:28:40.679 --> 00:28:41.439
 why

00:28:41.439 --> 00:28:42.579
 as it is

00:28:42.579 --> 00:28:42.959
 written

00:28:42.959 --> 00:28:43.779
 let

00:28:43.779 --> 00:28:44.240
 know

00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:44.720
 the one

00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:45.279
 who boasts

00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:45.819
 boast in

00:28:45.819 --> 00:28:46.319
 the Lord

00:28:46.319 --> 00:28:48.059
 so I want

00:28:48.059 --> 00:28:48.259
 you to

00:28:48.259 --> 00:28:48.639
 understand

00:28:48.639 --> 00:28:49.159
 going back

00:28:49.159 --> 00:28:49.579
 to John

00:28:49.579 --> 00:28:50.859
 chapter 17

00:28:50.859 --> 00:28:51.679
 we mark

00:28:51.679 --> 00:28:52.179
 what it says

00:28:52.179 --> 00:28:52.559
 there in

00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:53.119
 verse 3

00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:54.419
 the blessing

00:28:54.419 --> 00:28:54.979
 that we

00:28:54.979 --> 00:28:55.439
 have

00:28:55.439 --> 00:28:56.259
 of our

00:28:56.259 --> 00:28:56.939
 eternal life

00:28:56.939 --> 00:28:57.759
 is that

00:28:57.759 --> 00:28:58.559
 our eternal

00:28:58.559 --> 00:28:59.359
 life is

00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:00.519
 marked by

00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:01.399
 knowing

00:29:01.399 --> 00:29:02.339
 God

00:29:02.339 --> 00:29:03.539
 knowing

00:29:03.539 --> 00:29:04.579
 God

00:29:04.579 --> 00:29:06.000
 there's one

00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:06.519
 other piece

00:29:06.519 --> 00:29:07.039
 that I want you

00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:07.579
 to recognize

00:29:07.579 --> 00:29:08.439
 in this passage

00:29:08.439 --> 00:29:09.139
 and we pick up

00:29:09.139 --> 00:29:09.599
 on it there

00:29:09.599 --> 00:29:10.219
 in verse 4

00:29:10.219 --> 00:29:10.679
 and 5

00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:11.680
 I have

00:29:16.120 --> 00:29:16.700
 gave me

00:29:16.700 --> 00:29:17.160
 to do

00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:19.460

00:29:22.660 --> 00:29:23.080
 presence

00:29:23.080 --> 00:29:23.759
 with the glory

00:29:23.759 --> 00:29:24.500
 that I had

00:29:24.500 --> 00:29:25.060
 with you

00:29:25.060 --> 00:29:26.279
 before the

00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:26.680
 world

00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:27.360
 existed

00:29:27.360 --> 00:29:28.940
 did Jesus

00:29:28.940 --> 00:29:29.799
 want to come

00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:30.420
 here to this

00:29:30.420 --> 00:29:30.640
 earth

00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:31.279
 yes he did

00:29:31.279 --> 00:29:32.120
 because of us

00:29:32.120 --> 00:29:33.580
 because of the

00:29:33.580 --> 00:29:34.360
 plan of redemption

00:29:34.360 --> 00:29:36.320
 but here he was

00:29:36.320 --> 00:29:36.940
 just moments

00:29:36.940 --> 00:29:37.539
 away from the

00:29:37.539 --> 00:29:37.920
 cross

00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:39.060
 and as he was

00:29:39.060 --> 00:29:39.860
 thinking about

00:29:39.860 --> 00:29:40.960
 this large

00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:42.100
 plan of

00:29:42.100 --> 00:29:42.759
 salvation

00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:43.420
 and redemption

00:29:43.420 --> 00:29:44.519
 he was thinking

00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:45.400
 and when I

00:29:49.560 --> 00:29:49.940
 neat

00:29:49.940 --> 00:29:52.100
 one of the

00:29:52.100 --> 00:29:52.539
 things that

00:29:52.539 --> 00:29:53.340
 has happened

00:29:53.340 --> 00:29:53.779
 to me on

00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:02.420
 about my car

00:30:02.420 --> 00:30:03.680
 when I turn

00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:04.500

00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:08.759
 unrelenting

00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:09.460
 interest in

00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:16.619
 out is not

00:30:16.619 --> 00:30:17.240
 half as much

00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:17.779
 fun as the

00:30:27.819 --> 00:30:29.460
 to being with

 any of

00:34:33.820 --> 00:34:34.460
 forward

00:34:34.460 --> 00:34:34.759
 to

00:34:34.759 --> 00:34:35.199
 coming

00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:35.980
 back

00:34:35.980 --> 00:34:36.860
 home

00:34:36.860 --> 00:34:41.079
 let's

00:34:41.079 --> 00:34:41.360
 pray

00:34:41.360 --> 00:34:49.700
 our

00:34:49.700 --> 00:34:49.960
 father

00:34:49.960 --> 00:34:50.240
 God

00:34:50.240 --> 00:34:50.519
 this

00:34:50.519 --> 00:34:50.840
 morning

00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:54.220
 we

00:34:54.220 --> 00:34:54.620
 are

00:34:54.620 --> 00:34:58.840
 in

00:34:58.840 --> 00:34:59.240
 awe

00:34:59.240 --> 00:35:01.960
 when

00:35:01.960 --> 00:35:02.120
 we

00:35:02.120 --> 00:35:02.360
 think

00:35:02.360 --> 00:35:02.640
 about

00:35:02.640 --> 00:35:03.079
 Jesus

00:35:03.079 --> 00:35:03.420
 in

00:35:03.420 --> 00:35:03.559
 the

00:35:03.559 --> 00:35:03.880
 face

00:35:03.880 --> 00:35:04.019
 of

00:35:04.019 --> 00:35:04.220
 the

00:35:04.220 --> 00:35:04.820
 cross

00:35:04.820 --> 00:35:07.240
 being

00:35:07.240 --> 00:35:07.599
 so

00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:08.000
 caught

00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:08.240
 up

00:35:08.240 --> 00:35:08.400
 by

00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:08.579
 the

00:35:08.579 --> 00:35:09.099
 glory

00:35:09.099 --> 00:35:11.319
 of

00:35:11.319 --> 00:35:11.639
 what

00:35:11.639 --> 00:35:12.679
 you

00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:12.960
 had

00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:13.400
 sent

00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:13.719
 him

00:35:13.719 --> 00:35:13.940
 to

00:35:13.940 --> 00:35:14.239
 do

00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:18.179
 that

00:35:18.179 --> 00:35:18.500
 at

00:35:18.500 --> 00:35:18.799
 this

00:35:18.799 --> 00:35:19.259
 time

00:35:19.259 --> 00:35:19.420
 and

00:35:19.420 --> 00:35:19.579
 in

00:35:19.579 --> 00:35:19.779
 this

00:35:19.779 --> 00:35:20.139
 moment

00:35:20.139 --> 00:35:20.380
 that

00:35:20.380 --> 00:35:21.159
 we're

00:35:21.159 --> 00:35:21.799
 pondering

00:35:21.799 --> 00:35:22.279
 today

00:35:22.279 --> 00:35:22.980
 we

00:35:22.980 --> 00:35:23.259
 do

00:35:23.259 --> 00:35:23.579
 not

00:35:23.579 --> 00:35:24.139
 see

00:35:24.139 --> 00:35:25.339
 sorrow

00:35:25.339 --> 00:35:26.980
 but

00:35:26.980 --> 00:35:27.139
 we

00:35:27.139 --> 00:35:27.440
 see

00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:27.960
 hope

00:35:27.960 --> 00:35:28.460
 and

00:35:28.460 --> 00:35:28.860
 joy

00:35:28.860 --> 00:35:29.179
 and

00:35:29.179 --> 00:35:29.659
 ambition

00:35:29.659 --> 00:35:31.380
 and

00:35:31.380 --> 00:35:31.719
 we

00:35:31.719 --> 00:35:32.460
 ask

00:35:32.460 --> 00:35:32.759
 that

00:35:32.759 --> 00:35:33.099
 you

00:35:33.099 --> 00:35:33.420
 would

00:35:33.420 --> 00:35:33.799
 work

00:35:33.799 --> 00:35:33.980
 in

00:35:33.980 --> 00:35:34.319
 our

00:35:34.319 --> 00:35:35.019
 lives

00:35:35.019 --> 00:35:35.619
 we

00:35:35.619 --> 00:35:35.860
 who

00:35:35.860 --> 00:35:36.119
 know

00:35:36.119 --> 00:35:36.639
 Christ

00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:38.940
 that

00:35:38.940 --> 00:35:39.279
 we

00:35:39.279 --> 00:35:39.599
 would

00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:40.159
 have

00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:40.460
 a

00:35:40.460 --> 00:35:41.119
 same

00:35:41.119 --> 00:35:42.179
 desire

00:35:42.179 --> 00:35:43.980
 that

00:35:43.980 --> 00:35:44.139
 the

00:35:44.139 --> 00:35:44.480
 glory

00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:44.659
 of

00:35:44.659 --> 00:35:44.859
 the

00:35:44.859 --> 00:35:45.339
 father

00:35:45.339 --> 00:35:47.980
 would

00:35:47.980 --> 00:35:48.279
 so

00:35:48.279 --> 00:35:48.859
 consume

00:35:48.859 --> 00:35:49.420
 us

00:35:49.420 --> 00:35:52.099
 that

00:35:52.099 --> 00:35:52.359
 we

00:35:52.359 --> 00:35:52.579
 would

00:35:52.579 --> 00:35:52.920
 find

00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:53.139
 our

00:35:53.139 --> 00:35:53.639
 delight

00:35:53.639 --> 00:35:54.039
 in

00:35:54.039 --> 00:35:54.839
 everything

00:35:54.839 --> 00:35:55.440
 that

00:35:55.440 --> 00:35:56.139
 exalts

00:35:56.139 --> 00:35:56.460
 your

00:35:56.460 --> 00:35:56.960
 name

00:35:56.960 --> 00:35:59.400
 I

00:35:59.400 --> 00:35:59.699
 ask

00:35:59.699 --> 00:36:00.059
 this

00:36:00.059 --> 00:36:01.239
 because

00:36:01.239 --> 00:36:01.420
 of

00:36:01.420 --> 00:36:01.859
 Jesus

00:36:01.859 --> 00:36:03.219
 Amen
