00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.980
 These next two things are means of doing that.

00:00:06.100 --> 00:00:06.339
 Okay?

00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:10.040
 So, redeem the time for knowing Christ.

00:00:10.200 --> 00:00:14.080
 You know, college students, a lot of you are just now figuring out what a lot of you believe.

00:00:14.200 --> 00:00:15.560
 Was this what my parents taught me?

00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:16.460
 Is this what I believe?

00:00:17.219 --> 00:00:18.580
 It's a great time to grow.

00:00:18.580 --> 00:00:22.219
 So, redeem that kairos to really know Christ.

00:00:23.059 --> 00:00:28.740
 But number two, redeem the time for growing in relationship with God's people.

00:00:29.619 --> 00:00:30.820
 In other words, the church.

00:00:31.899 --> 00:00:33.960
 The covenant fellowship of believers.

00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:37.479
 The Bible has some really great metaphors for the church.

00:00:37.579 --> 00:00:38.539
 It's called a body.

00:00:39.379 --> 00:00:40.560
 In 1 Corinthians 12.

00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:46.719
 So, to be a part of a body means to belong to a living, functioning, you know, community.

00:00:47.480 --> 00:00:53.320
 A flock, which can sound degrading because you don't ever want to be compared to a sheep.

00:00:53.320 --> 00:01:01.399
 But, belonging to a flock means belonging to a community dependent on Christ for food and protection and direction.

00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:03.980
 A temple, Ephesians 2.

00:01:04.420 --> 00:01:09.120
 To be a stone in His temple means to belong to a worshiping community.

00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:11.760
 And then a household, a family.

00:01:11.939 --> 00:01:13.260
 That's 1 Timothy 3.15.

00:01:13.420 --> 00:01:15.900
 Like we have a common fatherhood.

00:01:15.900 --> 00:01:18.940
 And we will be together for eternity.

00:01:19.140 --> 00:01:22.719
 So, this is a rehearsal for what is to come.

00:01:23.900 --> 00:01:25.340
 So, understand.

00:01:25.620 --> 00:01:29.100
 I don't think most of us in here would be guilty of this.

00:01:29.140 --> 00:01:30.740
 Maybe at some point in our lives we were.

00:01:30.739 --> 00:01:34.000
 But there's a lot of people who say, yeah, I love Christ.

00:01:34.119 --> 00:01:34.959
 I'm all about Jesus.

00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:36.500
 But I can't stand the church.

00:01:38.019 --> 00:01:39.519
 You've heard people say that before.

00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:40.979
 Me and Jesus.

00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:42.759
 That's like all I need.

00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:44.899
 The last place, I think.

00:01:45.219 --> 00:01:45.659
 Yeah, no.

00:01:45.739 --> 00:01:46.159
 Just kidding.

00:01:48.199 --> 00:01:50.599
 Just write it down or log it away in your head.

00:01:51.219 --> 00:01:52.859
 I had to preach on it yesterday at this wedding.

00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:55.079
 Ephesians 5.

00:01:55.959 --> 00:02:00.119
 It talks about the love that Christ has for His church.

00:02:00.739 --> 00:02:02.099
 And it gives us an example.

00:02:02.259 --> 00:02:09.460
 It says, husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her.

00:02:10.500 --> 00:02:12.560
 So, then it goes down in verse 29.

00:02:13.379 --> 00:02:15.139
 Christ loves His church.

00:02:15.259 --> 00:02:17.840
 He nourishes and cherishes His church.

00:02:17.959 --> 00:02:20.199
 Because we are members of His body.

00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:22.639
 So, you can observe that.

00:02:22.740 --> 00:02:24.680
 Christ loves His church and died for it.

00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:27.740
 He cares for the purity of His church.

00:02:28.419 --> 00:02:29.959
 And He is one with His church.

00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:33.980
 So much so that if you attack the church, you're attacking Christ.

00:02:34.860 --> 00:02:38.340
 Any good done to the church is a good done to Christ.

00:02:39.379 --> 00:02:43.439
 So, the church, in one of those images, is called the Bride of Christ.

00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:49.719
 So, how many of you husbands would get it on if someone called your wife ugly and deplorable?

00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:55.020
 Jesus could take some people to the cleaners if He wanted to.

00:02:55.539 --> 00:02:57.099
 Don't insult His bride.

00:02:57.180 --> 00:03:00.460
 If you love Christ, then you will love what Christ loves.

00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:02.719
 Christ loves His church.

00:03:03.219 --> 00:03:05.460
 With all its problems, He loves His church.

00:03:05.460 --> 00:03:09.240
 And He died for the sake of His bride, the church.

00:03:10.320 --> 00:03:17.520
 And so, we are to redeem the time by growing in relationship with God's people.

00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:26.740
 Amazingly, for some reason, God has determined that so much of what we need as believers comes through.

00:03:26.900 --> 00:03:28.020
 This is just His design.

00:03:28.140 --> 00:03:31.180
 It comes through the fellowship of the body.

00:03:31.500 --> 00:03:34.219
 We need our brothers and sisters.

00:03:34.219 --> 00:03:39.599
 There are rich deposits of Christ in every single believer.

00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:41.520
 That's 2 Corinthians 4-7.

00:03:42.460 --> 00:03:45.639
 The treasure of treasures is hidden inside the believer.

00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.139
 Christ takes up residence inside the believer.

00:03:49.979 --> 00:03:54.599
 And if that's true, there are things that we can learn about God and know Him by,

00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:58.259
 by getting to know the body of Christ better.

00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.819
 By getting to know and understand our brothers and sisters better.

00:04:01.819 --> 00:04:08.959
 And God has designed for us not to face all the crud and trials of this world alone.

00:04:09.659 --> 00:04:11.620
 But to be there for one another.

00:04:11.799 --> 00:04:14.120
 To help each other along as we go.

00:04:14.959 --> 00:04:16.420
 But we've been saved.

00:04:17.159 --> 00:04:18.879
 We belong to the body.

00:04:19.060 --> 00:04:20.959
 We belong to Jesus.

00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:24.379
 Jesus suffered and died, it says in the Scripture.

00:04:25.379 --> 00:04:26.399
 The church of God.

00:04:26.500 --> 00:04:28.620
 That He had pained with His own blood.

00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:31.079
 He died for His wife, the church.

00:04:31.819 --> 00:04:41.060
 And so, I pray that as time goes by, we are known here, first and foremost, we are known.

00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:43.620
 I won't mess with other churches.

00:04:43.699 --> 00:04:44.959
 I'm just going to really talk about ours.

00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:52.399
 Like, I hope we are known as a people who love God, who worship Him with fear and reverence and joy,

00:04:53.039 --> 00:04:54.519
 in spirit and in truth.

00:04:54.519 --> 00:05:02.000
 So, what are one of the first things people talk about when they're asked about their church?

00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:04.399
 What pops out of their mouth?

00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:09.620
 Will it be something other than Christ?

00:05:10.579 --> 00:05:13.639
 What is the gathering component of a local church?

00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:15.739
 That's a good litmus test.

00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:19.219
 Why do certain churches gather and why does ours gather?

00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:23.959
 And often you'll see an age demographic.

00:05:24.419 --> 00:05:26.639
 We like being with old people, so we're with old people.

00:05:26.719 --> 00:05:29.599
 We like being with young people, so we're with a bunch of young people.

00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:33.540
 It could be affinity-driven.

00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.160
 There's a bunch of singles at this church.

00:05:36.280 --> 00:05:38.240
 There's a bunch of married people at this church.

00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:42.439
 But more than likely, it's program-driven.

00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:45.220
 This church has a great children's ministry.

00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:47.040
 This church has a great youth ministry.

00:05:47.300 --> 00:05:50.040
 This church has incredible music.

00:05:50.840 --> 00:05:52.519
 And that's what people talk about, right?

00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:53.800
 When you ask them about their church,

00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:55.540
 Oh, we just love our music.

00:05:55.660 --> 00:05:57.660
 We just love our worship service.

00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.920
 We have both a traditional and a contemporary service,

00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:02.800
 so we can fit everybody in.

00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:09.759
 And that just feeds the consumer mindset the opposite of what Christ would have us do,

00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:13.420
 which is to unite around Him, right?

00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:17.360
 I heard on a local Christian radio station several years ago,

00:06:17.379 --> 00:06:18.639
 and it's not a bad station.

00:06:18.740 --> 00:06:19.639
 I won't hate on it.

00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:20.819
 It's not a bad station at all.

00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:23.740
 But for 20 minutes, I had people call in and explain,

00:06:24.060 --> 00:06:24.800
 answer the question,

00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:26.199
 How do you do church?

00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:30.920
 But that whole time, no one said,

00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:32.340
 What does Jesus say about the church?

00:06:32.339 --> 00:06:33.539
 Isn't He the head of the church?

00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:35.539
 Didn't He die for the church?

00:06:36.739 --> 00:06:38.459
 That was the whole point.

00:06:39.359 --> 00:06:41.519
 And a lot of well-meaning people just sort of missed that.

00:06:41.579 --> 00:06:44.000
 So what is our church going to be known for?

00:06:45.060 --> 00:06:46.779
 We do a lot of good things here.

00:06:46.859 --> 00:06:48.379
 We're about a lot of good things.

00:06:49.299 --> 00:06:51.819
 So these aren't bad things when I say this,

00:06:51.819 --> 00:06:55.439
 but we don't want to be known as the homeschool church.

00:06:56.599 --> 00:06:59.059
 We plan on homeschooling our kids, Lord willing.

00:06:59.799 --> 00:07:01.579
 So you know I'm not hating on that,

00:07:01.579 --> 00:07:02.879
 but we don't want to be known for that.

00:07:03.819 --> 00:07:05.979
 We don't want to be known as a church

00:07:05.979 --> 00:07:09.379
 that each family has to have X number of kids.

00:07:10.379 --> 00:07:11.899
 We don't want to be known for that either.

00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:14.439
 We do want to be known for the fact that we love children.

00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:19.379
 But is Christ the gathering component of our church,

00:07:19.459 --> 00:07:20.899
 or does it become something else?

00:07:21.779 --> 00:07:22.560
 Here's how you know.

00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:24.240
 If that one component is removed,

00:07:25.100 --> 00:07:26.600
 sometimes that church falls apart.

00:07:27.660 --> 00:07:28.740
 There's nothing else there.

00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:32.159
 If it's a pastor personality or a certain style of music,

00:07:32.159 --> 00:07:33.000
 it just vanishes.

00:07:33.659 --> 00:07:35.819
 When that is gone, that church falls apart.

00:07:35.819 --> 00:07:38.540
 And that happens with a lot of megachurches out there,

00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:41.180
 with a cool pastor.

00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:43.279
 When he's gone, like, no one knows what to do

00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:45.199
 because they haven't been functioning.

00:07:45.300 --> 00:07:50.060
 But I pray that our church is known for its love for Christ

00:07:50.060 --> 00:07:51.800
 and love for one another

00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:55.699
 and not allow good things to become the main thing.

00:07:56.659 --> 00:08:01.819
 So the Scripture teaches us that we have unity already in Christ.

00:08:01.819 --> 00:08:03.060
 We don't have to create unity.

00:08:03.180 --> 00:08:05.060
 We don't have to make it up out of thin air

00:08:05.060 --> 00:08:07.899
 and unify over some, you know, worldly thing

00:08:07.899 --> 00:08:12.019
 like this ministry or that program or this style of music.

00:08:12.019 --> 00:08:15.759
 We are united in Christ.

00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:19.779
 And so we need each other in discipleship.

00:08:20.219 --> 00:08:23.360
 We need each other for accountability and discipline,

00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:26.300
 encouragement and prayer and leadership.

00:08:26.500 --> 00:08:27.339
 I could go on and on.

00:08:27.500 --> 00:08:30.459
 So that's why this is really more of a bigger thing,

00:08:30.459 --> 00:08:33.399
 but you'll just have to maybe talk to me later

00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:35.179
 if you can handle any more.

00:08:35.579 --> 00:08:37.799
 But we're all gifted, too.

00:08:38.379 --> 00:08:41.179
 When you are saved, you are given gifts by the Holy Spirit.

00:08:41.259 --> 00:08:42.620
 We just read that, which is so cool.

00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:44.439
 You are given gifts.

00:08:45.319 --> 00:08:47.399
 And just because you can't stand up here and do something,

00:08:47.539 --> 00:08:48.139
 it doesn't matter.

00:08:48.340 --> 00:08:52.120
 There are tons of ways that you can serve the body

00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:55.620
 that are special and that have eternal value.

00:08:56.100 --> 00:08:58.399
 So, quick word to students, you know,

00:08:58.500 --> 00:08:59.919
 campus ministries are amazing.

00:08:59.919 --> 00:09:02.279
 I was a part of one, campus outreach,

00:09:02.419 --> 00:09:04.439
 for a little over three years.

00:09:04.579 --> 00:09:04.919
 Loved it.

00:09:04.959 --> 00:09:06.559
 It's not in North Georgia anymore, unfortunately.

00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.579
 But understand, as cool as campus ministries are,

00:09:11.719 --> 00:09:13.199
 they don't replace the church.

00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:14.439
 They just don't.

00:09:15.479 --> 00:09:17.519
 And a good one, in fact, will point you to the church.

00:09:17.579 --> 00:09:20.039
 They'll say, we're just here to kind of help serve the body.

00:09:20.139 --> 00:09:21.879
 And we see sort of a movement in that now,

00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:22.799
 which I'm thankful for.

00:09:23.500 --> 00:09:24.939
 So just to kind of remember,

00:09:25.019 --> 00:09:27.000
 just come and be a part of a fellowship.

00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:28.679
 We hope it's here, but it's not.

00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:30.899
 There's some other healthy churches out there.

00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:33.100
 And then lastly,

00:09:33.500 --> 00:09:36.159
 whew, man, maybe a few more minutes here.

00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:39.019
 That water looks really good to me right now.

00:09:39.500 --> 00:09:43.659
 But lastly, number three,

00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:44.840
 to redeem the time,

00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:46.980
 to redeem the Kairos,

00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.620
 redeem it for obedience to God's mission.

00:09:50.620 --> 00:09:53.299
 Obedience to God's mission.

00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:59.100
 We are called by Jesus in Matthew 28

00:09:59.100 --> 00:10:02.539
 to go and to make disciples of all nations.

00:10:03.379 --> 00:10:04.639
 And what is the goal of that?

00:10:06.259 --> 00:10:07.460
 Read in Revelation.

00:10:08.620 --> 00:10:12.279
 The large myriad of myriad and thousands of thousands

00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:14.279
 from every nation, tribe, and tongue

00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:16.799
 worshiping Christ at His throne

00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:18.680
 at the end of time.

00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:20.500
 And that's only going to happen if we go.

00:10:21.379 --> 00:10:23.239
 Most of the men who heard Jesus say that

00:10:23.239 --> 00:10:24.500
 didn't even make it out of Judea.

00:10:25.359 --> 00:10:28.199
 So we know that that wasn't the plan.

00:10:28.299 --> 00:10:30.279
 It was meant for the disciples that they made

00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:32.399
 to continue that good work,

00:10:32.459 --> 00:10:34.779
 to go to the ends of the earth.

00:10:35.839 --> 00:10:38.019
 And so Paul says,

00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:40.059
 walk in wisdom toward outsiders,

00:10:40.239 --> 00:10:42.059
 making the best use of the time.

00:10:42.459 --> 00:10:44.000
 That's Colossians 4, same word.

00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:46.539
 Walk in wisdom toward outsiders.

00:10:46.539 --> 00:10:50.039
 So we all have neighbors,

00:10:50.740 --> 00:10:52.179
 coworkers, family members

00:10:52.179 --> 00:10:54.899
 that are still walking in darkness.

00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:56.639
 And it's hard.

00:10:56.939 --> 00:10:58.240
 It hurts to watch.

00:10:58.939 --> 00:11:00.439
 But we have the message.

00:11:00.939 --> 00:11:01.860
 We can't save them,

00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:03.939
 but we know the one who can.

00:11:04.959 --> 00:11:05.279
 All right?

00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:06.419
 And students,

00:11:06.899 --> 00:11:08.379
 you will never have,

00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:09.740
 probably most of you,

00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:11.259
 some of you going to the army

00:11:11.259 --> 00:11:13.439
 may have as much opportunity,

00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:16.680
 but you'll never have as many chances

00:11:16.680 --> 00:11:18.860
 to connect with unbelievers as you do now.

00:11:19.400 --> 00:11:20.520
 Like just the relationships,

00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:22.080
 it's just a sea of relationships,

00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:23.120
 of needy people.

00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:26.440
 It's that depressed guy

00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:27.840
 that never leaves his room,

00:11:27.980 --> 00:11:29.260
 who just plays video games

00:11:29.260 --> 00:11:30.200
 and sits on his phone

00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:31.760
 because he's scared to go

00:11:31.760 --> 00:11:32.820
 and like face the world.

00:11:33.820 --> 00:11:34.140
 Right?

00:11:34.139 --> 00:11:36.279
 It's that person

00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:38.539
 in the gym

00:11:38.539 --> 00:11:40.460
 just trying to always exercise

00:11:40.460 --> 00:11:41.199
 like crazy

00:11:41.199 --> 00:11:42.039
 because they want people

00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:44.360
 to give them glory

00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:45.500
 for how they look.

00:11:46.319 --> 00:11:46.980
 It's that girl

00:11:46.980 --> 00:11:48.319
 that spends two hours

00:11:48.319 --> 00:11:49.439
 putting makeup on

00:11:49.439 --> 00:11:50.120
 because she's afraid

00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:50.879
 to go out

00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:52.139
 and afraid that people

00:11:52.139 --> 00:11:53.580
 will think that she's unattractive.

00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:55.299
 She's being evaluated

00:11:55.299 --> 00:11:56.439
 by the people

00:11:56.439 --> 00:11:57.379
 that are around her.

00:11:58.419 --> 00:11:59.220
 And a special heart

00:11:59.220 --> 00:11:59.960
 for these guys,

00:12:00.059 --> 00:12:01.259
 the ones who just got hammered

00:12:01.259 --> 00:12:01.759
 and partied

00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:02.460
 and went crazy.

00:12:02.460 --> 00:12:03.980
 They need the Lord too.

00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:05.660
 You've got to find ways

00:12:05.660 --> 00:12:06.700
 to get them through their life

00:12:06.700 --> 00:12:08.540
 safely, of course.

00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:10.639
 And so,

00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:11.960
 redeem the time.

00:12:12.800 --> 00:12:14.080
 Make the best use of it.

00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:14.800
 The scripture says,

00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:15.800
 rescue those

00:12:15.800 --> 00:12:18.759
 who are being taken away to death.

00:12:19.500 --> 00:12:20.220
 Hold back

00:12:20.220 --> 00:12:21.400
 those who are stumbling

00:12:21.400 --> 00:12:22.860
 to slaughter.

00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:25.980
 Understand that

00:12:25.980 --> 00:12:28.879
 as we bear witness to Christ,

00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:30.580
 he's going to use you

00:12:30.580 --> 00:12:31.780
 to reach those

00:12:31.779 --> 00:12:33.039
 who are around you.

00:12:33.959 --> 00:12:35.019
 And in closing,

00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:36.980
 a couple things.

00:12:38.079 --> 00:12:39.419
 I thought it was worth mentioning.

00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:40.539
 There's some good clips

00:12:40.539 --> 00:12:41.059
 on YouTube

00:12:41.059 --> 00:12:42.379
 if you want to go watch this.

00:12:43.339 --> 00:12:43.620
 I thought,

00:12:43.740 --> 00:12:44.500
 wouldn't that be a shocker

00:12:44.500 --> 00:12:45.439
 if I played a video here

00:12:45.439 --> 00:12:46.159
 on Sunday morning?

00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:48.299
 I've done that here

00:12:48.299 --> 00:12:49.399
 in probably 100 years.

00:12:50.199 --> 00:12:50.459
 But,

00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:52.159
 the movie,

00:12:53.319 --> 00:12:54.079
 Schindler's List,

00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:54.579
 is a movie

00:12:54.579 --> 00:12:55.559
 I just can't watch.

00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:55.980
 Like,

00:12:56.019 --> 00:12:58.399
 I watched it a long time ago.

00:12:58.399 --> 00:12:59.779
 I can't turn it back on.

00:13:00.819 --> 00:13:01.199
 But,

00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:01.740
 it's about

00:13:01.740 --> 00:13:03.240
 the Nazi death camps,

00:13:03.539 --> 00:13:04.360
 the Holocaust.

00:13:05.299 --> 00:13:06.299
 A true story,

00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:06.559
 though,

00:13:06.620 --> 00:13:07.199
 of a German

00:13:07.199 --> 00:13:07.579
 named

00:13:07.579 --> 00:13:08.519
 Oskar Schindler.

00:13:09.459 --> 00:13:10.340
 And he was

00:13:10.340 --> 00:13:11.279
 broken

00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:12.039
 over what

00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:13.139
 Germany was doing.

00:13:14.579 --> 00:13:15.500
 And he

00:13:15.500 --> 00:13:17.360
 took it personally

00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:18.059
 to, like,

00:13:18.139 --> 00:13:18.500
 work.

00:13:18.579 --> 00:13:19.240
 And he ended up

00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:19.879
 saving about

00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:20.459
 the lives

00:13:20.459 --> 00:13:21.659
 of 1,100 Jews

00:13:21.659 --> 00:13:22.960
 from the Nazi

00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:23.740
 death camps.

00:13:24.659 --> 00:13:25.279
 And at the very

00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:25.940
 end of the movie,

00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:26.600
 this is what you can

00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:27.539
 actually go and watch.

00:13:27.659 --> 00:13:27.860
 It's,

00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:29.899
 after all his

00:13:29.899 --> 00:13:30.440
 sacrifice,

00:13:30.680 --> 00:13:31.600
 all the stuff he did,

00:13:31.659 --> 00:13:32.379
 all his labor,

00:13:33.299 --> 00:13:33.919
 he's there

00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:34.700
 with all those

00:13:34.700 --> 00:13:35.740
 people that

00:13:35.740 --> 00:13:39.419
 he was able

00:13:39.419 --> 00:13:40.100
 to deliver

00:13:40.100 --> 00:13:40.879
 and save.

00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:42.340
 And he's with

00:13:42.340 --> 00:13:43.039
 his really close

00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:43.799
 Jewish friend,

00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:44.620
 Stern.

00:13:45.860 --> 00:13:46.299
 And,

00:13:46.539 --> 00:13:47.799
 he's looking around

00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:48.320
 at all of them.

00:13:48.460 --> 00:13:48.580
 He says,

00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:49.700
 he looks at his body

00:13:49.700 --> 00:13:49.860
 and says,

00:13:49.899 --> 00:13:50.580
 I could have gotten

00:13:50.580 --> 00:13:51.200
 more out.

00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:53.420
 I could have

00:13:53.420 --> 00:13:54.060
 gotten more out.

00:13:54.100 --> 00:13:54.800
 If I had just

00:13:54.800 --> 00:13:56.320
 done this,

00:13:56.340 --> 00:13:56.660
 I could have

00:13:56.660 --> 00:13:57.240
 done more.

00:13:57.360 --> 00:13:57.820
 And his friend

00:13:57.820 --> 00:13:58.520
 is so gracious.

00:13:58.640 --> 00:13:58.940
 He's like,

00:13:59.000 --> 00:13:59.220
 look,

00:13:59.259 --> 00:14:00.200
 you did so much.

00:14:00.660 --> 00:14:01.140
 There will be

00:14:01.140 --> 00:14:02.160
 generations of

00:14:02.160 --> 00:14:03.680
 people because

00:14:03.680 --> 00:14:04.580
 of what you did.

00:14:05.640 --> 00:14:06.120
 And he looks

00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:06.800
 at his car

00:14:06.800 --> 00:14:07.220
 and he goes,

00:14:07.259 --> 00:14:07.720
 what about this

00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:08.120
 car?

00:14:09.560 --> 00:14:10.300
 This car could

00:14:10.300 --> 00:14:10.800
 have been 10

00:14:10.800 --> 00:14:11.340
 more people.

00:14:11.340 --> 00:14:12.140
 Why did I keep

00:14:12.140 --> 00:14:12.800
 this car?

00:14:14.379 --> 00:14:15.259
 And then he said,

00:14:15.340 --> 00:14:16.640
 I had so much

00:14:16.640 --> 00:14:17.040
 money.

00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:17.640
 If I just had

00:14:17.640 --> 00:14:18.080
 a little bit

00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:18.740
 more money,

00:14:18.920 --> 00:14:19.620
 I could have

00:14:19.620 --> 00:14:20.080
 gotten more

00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:20.780
 people out.

00:14:22.100 --> 00:14:22.980
 And he says,

00:14:23.020 --> 00:14:23.620
 I wasted

00:14:23.620 --> 00:14:24.980
 so much money.

00:14:26.140 --> 00:14:26.820
 And he just

00:14:26.820 --> 00:14:27.540
 breaks down

00:14:27.540 --> 00:14:29.100
 crying unconsolably

00:14:29.100 --> 00:14:29.780
 like in front

00:14:29.780 --> 00:14:30.240
 of all these

00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:30.580
 people.

00:14:31.560 --> 00:14:32.480
 And his friend

00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:32.879
 picks him up

00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:33.220
 and he's like,

00:14:33.259 --> 00:14:33.379
 hey,

00:14:33.460 --> 00:14:34.200
 you did this.

00:14:34.280 --> 00:14:34.680
 Look at their

00:14:34.680 --> 00:14:35.040
 faces.

00:14:35.160 --> 00:14:35.379
 Like,

00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:35.920
 they're here.

00:14:37.460 --> 00:14:38.140
 He pulls

00:14:38.140 --> 00:14:38.800
 off his Nazi

00:14:38.800 --> 00:14:39.520
 party pen.

00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:39.700
 Like,

00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:40.480
 this is gold.

00:14:41.259 --> 00:14:41.700
 And he gives

00:14:41.700 --> 00:14:42.020
 it to him.

00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:42.160
 Like,

00:14:42.180 --> 00:14:42.560
 this could be

00:14:42.560 --> 00:14:42.960
 two more

00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:43.320
 people.

00:14:43.460 --> 00:14:44.080
 Use this

00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:45.320
 to get

00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:45.879
 them out.

00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:47.520
 But he was

00:14:47.520 --> 00:14:47.879
 so,

00:14:48.100 --> 00:14:48.259
 you know,

00:14:48.280 --> 00:14:48.640
 as you know,

00:14:48.680 --> 00:14:49.180
 in that time,

00:14:49.259 --> 00:14:49.920
 Germans were

00:14:49.920 --> 00:14:50.540
 taught not to

00:14:50.539 --> 00:14:51.159
 show emotion,

00:14:51.259 --> 00:14:51.579
 but he just

00:14:51.579 --> 00:14:52.199
 loses it.

00:14:52.319 --> 00:14:53.599
 And he kept

00:14:53.599 --> 00:14:54.039
 just saying,

00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:54.719
 I haven't done

00:14:54.719 --> 00:14:55.079
 enough.

00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:55.899
 I didn't do

00:14:55.899 --> 00:14:56.559
 enough.

00:14:57.919 --> 00:14:58.719
 And I'm not

00:14:58.719 --> 00:14:59.539
 trying to

00:14:59.539 --> 00:15:00.219
 produce some

00:15:00.219 --> 00:15:00.959
 form of

00:15:00.959 --> 00:15:01.759
 ungodly

00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:03.500
 guilt on

00:15:03.500 --> 00:15:03.759
 you,

00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:04.500
 ungodly

00:15:04.500 --> 00:15:05.139
 conviction.

00:15:05.139 --> 00:15:06.139
 ungodly

00:15:06.139 --> 00:15:06.980
 but none

00:15:06.980 --> 00:15:07.259
 of us

00:15:07.259 --> 00:15:07.799
 want to

00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:08.259
 get to

00:15:08.259 --> 00:15:08.500
 the

00:15:08.500 --> 00:15:08.819
 finish

00:15:08.819 --> 00:15:09.139
 line

00:15:09.139 --> 00:15:09.439
 before

00:15:09.439 --> 00:15:09.659
 the

00:15:09.659 --> 00:15:10.019
 throne

00:15:10.019 --> 00:15:10.240
 and

00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:10.439
 just

00:15:10.439 --> 00:15:10.759
 say,

00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:11.779
 look at

00:15:11.779 --> 00:15:12.120
 all my

00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:12.559
 stuff.

00:15:13.319 --> 00:15:14.019
 And look at

00:15:14.019 --> 00:15:14.340
 all my

00:15:14.340 --> 00:15:14.860
 possessions.

00:15:15.899 --> 00:15:16.519
 You'll just

00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:16.879
 say,

00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:17.799
 why didn't I

00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:18.319
 do more?

00:15:20.419 --> 00:15:21.240
 Sort of a,

00:15:21.860 --> 00:15:22.399
 I think John

00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:23.319
 Piper calls it a

00:15:23.319 --> 00:15:24.259
 heavenly regret.

00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:26.080
 So not a

00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:26.759
 sinful regret,

00:15:26.860 --> 00:15:27.279
 a heavenly

00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:27.919
 regret of like,

00:15:28.019 --> 00:15:28.259
 ah,

00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:29.559
 like,

00:15:29.700 --> 00:15:30.299
 if I knew

00:15:30.299 --> 00:15:30.759
 that this was

00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:31.179
 where things

00:15:31.179 --> 00:15:31.639
 were going,

00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:31.879
 like,

00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:32.240
 I just

00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:32.679
 would not

00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:32.860
 have

00:15:32.860 --> 00:15:33.500
 squandered

00:15:33.500 --> 00:15:34.519
 so much.

00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:35.960
 But Jesus

00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:36.580
 says,

00:15:36.700 --> 00:15:37.500
 do not lay

00:15:37.500 --> 00:15:38.460
 for yourselves

00:15:38.460 --> 00:15:39.139
 treasures on

00:15:39.139 --> 00:15:39.620
 the earth

00:15:39.620 --> 00:15:40.240
 where moth

00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:40.740
 and dust

00:15:40.740 --> 00:15:41.340
 destroy

00:15:41.340 --> 00:15:42.279
 and where

00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:42.899
 thieves break

00:15:42.899 --> 00:15:43.379
 in and steal,

00:15:43.460 --> 00:15:43.899
 but lay up

00:15:43.899 --> 00:15:44.379
 for yourselves

00:15:44.379 --> 00:15:45.179
 treasures that

00:15:45.179 --> 00:15:46.059
 are in heaven.

00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:47.659
 That is the

00:15:47.659 --> 00:15:48.059
 goal.

00:15:48.980 --> 00:15:49.399
 But then he

00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:49.580
 says,

00:15:49.659 --> 00:15:49.899
 where your

00:15:49.899 --> 00:15:50.600
 treasure is,

00:15:50.659 --> 00:15:50.899
 there your

00:15:50.899 --> 00:15:51.340
 heart's going

00:15:51.340 --> 00:15:51.899
 to be also.

00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:53.299
 You're going

00:15:53.299 --> 00:15:53.740
 to see it

00:15:53.740 --> 00:15:54.419
 on display.

00:15:55.580 --> 00:15:55.879
 So,

00:15:57.139 --> 00:15:57.899
 as I said

00:15:57.899 --> 00:15:58.419
 last week

00:15:58.419 --> 00:15:58.899
 from that one

00:15:58.899 --> 00:15:59.259
 missionary,

00:16:00.340 --> 00:16:00.700
 he said,

00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:01.240
 only one

00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:01.679
 life,

00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:02.080
 and it

00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:02.419
 will soon

00:16:02.419 --> 00:16:03.059
 be passed

00:16:03.059 --> 00:16:04.080
 and only

00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:04.620
 what's done

00:16:04.620 --> 00:16:05.259
 for Christ

00:16:05.259 --> 00:16:06.059
 will last.

00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:07.679
 And then

00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:08.100
 lastly,

00:16:08.299 --> 00:16:09.000
 in application

00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:09.779
 of this,

00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:11.779
 we can rest

00:16:11.779 --> 00:16:12.360
 bringing it

00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:12.860
 all into

00:16:12.860 --> 00:16:13.240
 Christ,

00:16:13.299 --> 00:16:13.559
 okay?

00:16:14.659 --> 00:16:15.179
 We see

00:16:15.179 --> 00:16:15.439
 in the

00:16:15.439 --> 00:16:15.860
 Gospels

00:16:15.860 --> 00:16:16.320
 that Jesus

00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:17.039
 was very

00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:17.799
 aware of

00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:18.519
 the providential

00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:19.059
 time that

00:16:19.059 --> 00:16:19.539
 he was here

00:16:19.539 --> 00:16:19.960
 on earth.

00:16:20.460 --> 00:16:21.019
 He was

00:16:21.019 --> 00:16:21.639
 aware of

00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:22.340
 the Kairos.

00:16:22.460 --> 00:16:22.879
 He said,

00:16:23.340 --> 00:16:23.519
 there were

00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:23.899
 times that

00:16:23.899 --> 00:16:24.240
 people wanted

00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:24.559
 to kill

00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:24.860
 him and

00:16:24.860 --> 00:16:25.059
 he said,

00:16:25.139 --> 00:16:25.700
 my hour

00:16:25.700 --> 00:16:26.240
 has not

00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:26.960
 yet come.

00:16:27.299 --> 00:16:28.059
 My Kairos,

00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:28.820
 my time

00:16:28.820 --> 00:16:29.759
 has not

00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:30.740
 yet come.

00:16:30.740 --> 00:16:32.460
 And then

00:16:32.460 --> 00:16:33.379
 eventually,

00:16:33.740 --> 00:16:35.440
 when he

00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:36.039
 had died

00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:37.620
 and breathed

00:16:37.620 --> 00:16:38.159
 his last,

00:16:38.220 --> 00:16:38.519
 he said,

00:16:38.580 --> 00:16:39.200
 it is

00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:39.680
 finished.

00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:40.879
 It is

00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:41.259
 done.

00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:42.700
 And like

00:16:42.700 --> 00:16:43.159
 this one

00:16:43.159 --> 00:16:43.659
 verse in

00:16:43.659 --> 00:16:44.639
 John 17

00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:45.100
 is one

00:16:45.100 --> 00:16:45.500
 that I,

00:16:45.700 --> 00:16:45.960
 man,

00:16:46.019 --> 00:16:46.340
 I really

00:16:46.340 --> 00:16:46.720
 hope on

00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:48.419
 my deathbed,

00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:48.940
 if I make it

00:16:48.940 --> 00:16:49.539
 to a deathbed

00:16:49.539 --> 00:16:49.820
 and don't

00:16:49.820 --> 00:16:50.379
 die in some

00:16:50.379 --> 00:16:50.940
 crazy other

00:16:50.940 --> 00:16:51.299
 way,

00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:53.279
 that I think

00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:53.899
 this verse

00:16:53.899 --> 00:16:54.620
 haunts me

00:16:54.620 --> 00:16:55.200
 just about

00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:55.600
 more than

00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:55.879
 any.

00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:57.340
 But Jesus

00:16:57.340 --> 00:16:57.779
 says,

00:16:57.939 --> 00:16:58.200
 Father,

00:16:58.320 --> 00:16:58.820
 he's praying

00:16:58.820 --> 00:16:59.179
 like the

00:16:59.179 --> 00:16:59.679
 hour has

00:16:59.679 --> 00:16:59.939
 come,

00:17:00.059 --> 00:17:00.720
 glorify your

00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:01.019
 son,

00:17:01.139 --> 00:17:01.480
 the son

00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:02.279
 may glorify

00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:03.460
 you,

00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:04.819
 having

00:17:04.819 --> 00:17:05.420
 accomplished

00:17:05.420 --> 00:17:06.240
 the work

00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:07.000
 that you

00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:07.599
 gave me

00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:08.079
 to do.

00:17:08.579 --> 00:17:09.000
 He was

00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:09.680
 done so

00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:09.980
 he could

00:17:09.980 --> 00:17:10.980
 go and

00:17:10.980 --> 00:17:12.099
 rest,

00:17:12.299 --> 00:17:12.619
 right?

00:17:13.460 --> 00:17:14.019
 So even

00:17:14.019 --> 00:17:15.119
 though we

00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:16.079
 have squandered

00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:16.599
 so much

00:17:16.599 --> 00:17:17.000
 time,

00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:18.200
 ridiculous

00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:18.920
 things that

00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:19.240
 we do

00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:19.480
 with our

00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:19.759
 time,

00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:20.259
 me too,

00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:22.220
 our cell

00:17:22.220 --> 00:17:22.799
 phones don't

00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:23.099
 help.

00:17:23.099 --> 00:17:24.639
 So if

00:17:24.639 --> 00:17:24.939
 you drop

00:17:24.939 --> 00:17:25.139
 it in

00:17:25.139 --> 00:17:25.259
 the

00:17:25.259 --> 00:17:25.619
 commode,

00:17:25.719 --> 00:17:26.359
 just rejoice

00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:26.819
 for the

00:17:26.819 --> 00:17:27.619
 30 minutes

00:17:27.619 --> 00:17:27.899
 that you're

00:17:27.899 --> 00:17:28.119
 going to

00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:28.579
 have before

00:17:28.579 --> 00:17:28.939
 you fix

00:17:28.939 --> 00:17:29.159
 it with

00:17:29.159 --> 00:17:29.539
 rice.

00:17:31.199 --> 00:17:32.000
 The good

00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:32.659
 news is

00:17:32.659 --> 00:17:33.119
 that all

00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:33.579
 the time

00:17:33.579 --> 00:17:33.859
 we've

00:17:33.859 --> 00:17:35.959
 wasted is

00:17:35.959 --> 00:17:36.299
 not going

00:17:36.299 --> 00:17:36.559
 to bear

00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:37.219
 witness against

00:17:37.219 --> 00:17:37.579
 us on

00:17:37.579 --> 00:17:38.019
 the judgment

00:17:38.019 --> 00:17:38.599
 day if

00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:38.899
 we have

00:17:38.899 --> 00:17:39.339
 Christ,

00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:40.740
 because he

00:17:40.740 --> 00:17:41.299
 was faithful.

00:17:41.740 --> 00:17:42.719
 He saved

00:17:42.719 --> 00:17:43.240
 us.

00:17:43.719 --> 00:17:44.079
 We don't

00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:44.679
 have to pay

00:17:44.679 --> 00:17:45.319
 him back

00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:45.679
 for what

00:17:45.679 --> 00:17:46.199
 he did,

00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:47.639
 but if we

00:17:47.639 --> 00:17:48.259
 do belong

00:17:48.259 --> 00:17:48.719
 to Christ,

00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:49.059
 it's going

00:17:49.059 --> 00:17:49.539
 to create

00:17:49.539 --> 00:17:51.019
 a holy

00:17:51.019 --> 00:17:51.980
 desire in

00:17:51.980 --> 00:17:52.519
 us to

00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:52.959
 want,

00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:53.400
 to redeem

00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:53.980
 the time

00:17:53.980 --> 00:17:54.860
 for eternity.

00:17:55.019 --> 00:17:55.240
 We're going

00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:55.759
 to desire

00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:56.160
 that.

00:17:56.819 --> 00:17:57.279
 Make the

00:17:57.279 --> 00:17:58.160
 best use

00:17:58.160 --> 00:17:58.840
 of the

00:17:58.840 --> 00:17:59.380
 time and

00:17:59.380 --> 00:17:59.980
 strive for

00:17:59.980 --> 00:18:01.400
 that daily.

00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:03.019
 It's not

00:18:03.019 --> 00:18:03.400
 about the

00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:03.720
 here and

00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:04.019
 now.

00:18:04.700 --> 00:18:05.180
 So just

00:18:05.180 --> 00:18:05.559
 prepare

00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:06.079
 yourself

00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:07.500
 for the

00:18:07.500 --> 00:18:08.120
 bigger picture,

00:18:08.340 --> 00:18:08.900
 for us

00:18:08.900 --> 00:18:09.480
 going to

00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:10.640
 be in

00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:11.340
 the Father's

00:18:11.340 --> 00:18:11.880
 presence

00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:12.539
 forever.

00:18:14.600 --> 00:18:15.420
 I'll stop

00:18:15.420 --> 00:18:15.740
 there.

00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:17.799
 Yeah.

00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:19.400
 So much

00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:20.019
 more to say

00:18:20.019 --> 00:18:20.620
 on all that.

00:18:20.660 --> 00:18:21.019
 Each one of

00:18:21.019 --> 00:18:21.259
 those could

00:18:21.259 --> 00:18:22.480
 be its own

00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:22.819
 thing,

00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:24.059
 but let's

00:18:24.059 --> 00:18:24.640
 pray together

00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:25.000
 and then

00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:25.620
 we'll respond

00:18:25.620 --> 00:18:26.180
 in song.

00:18:26.180 --> 00:18:26.299
 Let's pray

00:18:26.299 --> 00:18:29.019
 together and

00:18:29.019 --> 00:18:29.019


00:18:29.019 --> 00:18:26.180
 respond in song.
