00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.020
 The joys we can have as we know the Lord.

00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:12.179
 And we try to do little things and to be involved in His church.

00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:15.000
!

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:34.820
 Late on Thursday when he said that's it and all, he finally admitted that he shouldn't do this.

00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:38.960
 He listened to Jen and I think Charles had been talking to him.

00:00:38.980 --> 00:00:40.780
 I know I had been talking to him.

00:00:40.780 --> 00:00:47.039
 And finally the doctor told him, no, you shouldn't be working this weekend.

00:00:48.120 --> 00:00:50.159
 You shouldn't do that.

00:00:51.219 --> 00:00:53.560
 And Charles told me, well, I'm so sick.

00:00:53.620 --> 00:00:56.299
 He said, I can't go and speak on Sunday morning.

00:00:56.299 --> 00:01:00.219
 And I guess that left me.

00:01:01.059 --> 00:01:07.640
 So I don't know whether I was the last choice, but I'm the only one you've got this morning.

00:01:07.780 --> 00:01:08.739
 So here we go.

00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:15.120
 I woke up in the middle of the night a couple nights ago.

00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:19.939
 And it couldn't have been more than that because I haven't known more than that that I had to do this.

00:01:19.939 --> 00:01:24.379
 But with a song just in my head.

00:01:26.299 --> 00:01:28.459
 And it was the middle of the night.

00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:31.599
 And I didn't have a pen and paper.

00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:32.840
 And I went back to sleep.

00:01:32.899 --> 00:01:34.000
 And I woke up in the morning.

00:01:34.140 --> 00:01:36.500
 I knew that I'd had a song during the night.

00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:38.340
 But I still can't remember what it was.

00:01:38.979 --> 00:01:39.239
 Okay.

00:01:39.899 --> 00:01:43.679
 But it gave me the idea that what I should do this morning.

00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:50.599
 In my reading lately in the Bible, I've been in 1 Corinthians.

00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:56.239
 And if any of you know 1 Corinthians, if we get to the 13th chapter,

00:01:57.199 --> 00:02:01.239
 it's something just after I came to know the Lord that a friend pointed out to me.

00:02:01.479 --> 00:02:03.319
 They called it the love chapter.

00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:04.859
 Okay.

00:02:05.379 --> 00:02:08.579
 And when we read it, as I will here in a second,

00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:14.900
 I think you'll agree with that analogy.

00:02:14.900 --> 00:02:20.460
 And now I will show you the most excellent way.

00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:27.240
 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love,

00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:33.400
 I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

00:02:33.900 --> 00:02:39.240
 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge,

00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:45.000
 and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love,

00:02:45.620 --> 00:02:46.600
 I am nothing.

00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:53.360
 If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,

00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.800
 but have not love, I gain nothing.

00:02:59.260 --> 00:03:00.480
 Love is patient.

00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:02.140
 Love is kind.

00:03:02.920 --> 00:03:04.379
 It does not envy.

00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:06.719
 It does not boast.

00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:08.879
 It is not proud.

00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:10.479
 It is not rude.

00:03:10.819 --> 00:03:12.659
 It is not self-seeking.

00:03:13.500 --> 00:03:15.860
 It is not easily angered.

00:03:16.139 --> 00:03:19.039
 It keeps no record of wrongs.

00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:21.939
 Love does not delight in evil,

00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:25.319
 but rejoices with the truth.

00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:29.180
 It always protects,

00:03:29.740 --> 00:03:30.900
 always trusts,

00:03:31.900 --> 00:03:32.860
 always hopes,

00:03:34.079 --> 00:03:36.020
 always perseveres.

00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:39.139
 Love never fails.

00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.620
 But where there are prophecies,

00:03:43.099 --> 00:03:44.280
 they will cease.

00:03:45.060 --> 00:03:46.300
 Where there are tongues,

00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:47.919
 they will be stilled.

00:03:48.419 --> 00:03:49.979
 Where there is knowledge,

00:03:50.340 --> 00:03:51.620
 it will pass away.

00:03:52.340 --> 00:03:53.379
 For we know it,

00:03:53.939 --> 00:03:56.079
 for we know in part,

00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.159
 and we prophesy in part.

00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:00.759
 But when perfection comes,

00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:03.599
 the imperfect disappears.

00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:05.960
 When I was a child,

00:04:06.079 --> 00:04:07.419
 I talked like a child.

00:04:07.699 --> 00:04:09.120
 I thought like a child.

00:04:09.519 --> 00:04:11.579
 I reasoned like a child.

00:04:12.579 --> 00:04:13.919
 When I became a man,

00:04:14.079 --> 00:04:16.319
 I put childish ways behind me.

00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:18.459
 Now we see,

00:04:18.819 --> 00:04:20.180
 but a poor reflection,

00:04:20.719 --> 00:04:21.800
 as in a mirror.

00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:24.519
 Then we shall see,

00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:26.060
 face to face.

00:04:27.060 --> 00:04:28.759
 Now I know in part.

00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:30.980
 Then I shall know fully,

00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:34.079
 even as I am fully known.

00:04:35.139 --> 00:04:36.360
 And now,

00:04:36.719 --> 00:04:38.819
 these three remain.

00:04:40.159 --> 00:04:40.920
 Faith,

00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:42.560
 hope,

00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:44.300
 and love.

00:04:44.300 --> 00:04:47.920
 But the greatest of these,

00:04:48.780 --> 00:04:49.800
 is love.

00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:55.600
 When I read that,

00:04:55.660 --> 00:04:57.040
 and I have many times,

00:04:57.660 --> 00:04:59.560
 it reminds me so much,

00:05:00.379 --> 00:05:02.480
 of responsibilities that I should have.

00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:04.840
 In a loving way.

00:05:05.340 --> 00:05:07.699
 To be able to share in a loving way,

00:05:07.819 --> 00:05:08.879
 and to treat people,

00:05:09.580 --> 00:05:10.120
 properly.

00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:14.120
 The Bible,

00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:15.379
 the whole book,

00:05:16.180 --> 00:05:16.819
 to me,

00:05:17.660 --> 00:05:19.660
 is a love book.

00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:22.019
 It is filled,

00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:23.720
 with love.

00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:26.920
 God's love.

00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:29.300
 For us.

00:05:31.459 --> 00:05:31.860
 Okay.

00:05:32.819 --> 00:05:34.759
 I could ask you a question,

00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:36.399
 and I don't know whether I,

00:05:36.660 --> 00:05:37.560
 want an answer,

00:05:37.740 --> 00:05:39.280
 but think about this.

00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:42.100
 How are you going to get into heaven?

00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:45.300
 Is it because you love Jesus?

00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:47.180
 Is that how you're going to get into heaven?

00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:52.280
 Or is it because Jesus already loved you?

00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:56.840
 And I think it's got to be both.

00:05:57.360 --> 00:05:57.759
 Okay.

00:05:58.699 --> 00:06:00.019
 We can't just,

00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:01.920
 we can't do it alone.

00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:03.060
 Okay.

00:06:03.139 --> 00:06:05.300
 There's no way we can get into heaven,

00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:07.800
 without Jesus,

00:06:07.980 --> 00:06:09.819
 without God leading the way.

00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:11.759
 And God sharing,

00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:13.560
 his love.

00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:16.639
 I was happy,

00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:19.840
 the last song that Cindy played this morning.

00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:20.660
 Okay.

00:06:20.699 --> 00:06:23.040
 How deep the Father's love,

00:06:23.840 --> 00:06:24.480
 for us.

00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:26.519
 How vast,

00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:27.740
 beyond all measure.

00:06:28.819 --> 00:06:29.180
 Okay.

00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:30.160
 Love.

00:06:31.280 --> 00:06:32.439
 Never fails.

00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:33.439
 God's love.

00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.439
 The verses I just read,

00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:39.279
 already stated that for us.

00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:40.360
 Okay.

00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:42.160
 Love is there.

00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:44.040
 Always.

00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:47.800
 God's love never,

00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:49.040
 ever,

00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:50.680
 goes away.

00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:54.019
 But we have to remember,

00:06:55.019 --> 00:06:56.680
 as we read his word,

00:06:56.819 --> 00:06:58.399
 as we sit in a pew,

00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:00.579
 as we go about,

00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:02.259
 our day-to-day lives.

00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:04.699
 Is that we,

00:07:04.859 --> 00:07:06.039
 have a responsibility,

00:07:06.039 --> 00:07:08.000
 to share God's life,

00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:09.879
 with everybody that we know.

00:07:11.479 --> 00:07:11.819
 Okay.

00:07:12.679 --> 00:07:13.259
 I mean,

00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:14.239
 think of yourselves.

00:07:14.679 --> 00:07:15.019
 Okay.

00:07:15.019 --> 00:07:16.139
 if somebody,

00:07:16.379 --> 00:07:17.359
 hadn't shared,

00:07:18.259 --> 00:07:19.519
 God with you,

00:07:19.699 --> 00:07:20.779
 where would you be today?

00:07:23.579 --> 00:07:23.859
 Okay.

00:07:24.819 --> 00:07:26.959
 It is God reaching out to us,

00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:28.240
 with his love,

00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.299
 that allows us,

00:07:31.859 --> 00:07:33.500
 to love others.

00:07:33.500 --> 00:07:36.000
 It,

00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:36.839
 it actually,

00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:37.980
 tells us,

00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:40.480
 it's a responsibility,

00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:41.560
 we have,

00:07:41.939 --> 00:07:42.620
 to share.

00:07:43.980 --> 00:07:44.220
 Okay.

00:07:45.660 --> 00:07:46.920
 There goes my length.

00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:47.939
 I knew it was going to happen.

00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:50.860
 I've never worn,

00:07:50.860 --> 00:07:51.699
 one of these before.

00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:53.959
 Now I've got to remember,

00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:54.920
 how to put it back on.

00:07:56.100 --> 00:07:56.839
 I'll try this.

00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:00.600
 Where did I get it?

00:08:00.620 --> 00:08:01.540
 Is that still working?

00:08:01.819 --> 00:08:02.060
 Yes.

00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:02.699
 Okay.

00:08:03.500 --> 00:08:06.939
 Not that that would,

00:08:06.939 --> 00:08:07.680
 distract me,

00:08:07.740 --> 00:08:08.699
 but now I'll have to find,

00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:09.660
 where I wanted to go.

00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:11.339
 I have,

00:08:11.620 --> 00:08:13.920
 such a long list,

00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:16.699
 of things that I did here.

00:08:18.180 --> 00:08:19.199
 There's my notes,

00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:20.000
 for this morning.

00:08:21.379 --> 00:08:21.819
 Okay.

00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:23.800
 I,

00:08:24.220 --> 00:08:27.300
 almost thought,

00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:28.560
 that I was unprepared,

00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:30.379
 to come and speak,

00:08:30.379 --> 00:08:31.000
 this morning.

00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:32.539
 But you know,

00:08:32.539 --> 00:08:37.579
 I love,

00:08:37.579 --> 00:08:37.579


00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:39.699
 Jesus.

00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:40.819
 I love the Lord.

00:08:40.939 --> 00:08:41.839
 He loves me.

00:08:42.659 --> 00:08:43.240
 And to be,

00:08:43.319 --> 00:08:44.539
 have the opportunity,

00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:46.899
 to talk about that love.

00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:48.699
 How can you be unprepared?

00:08:49.659 --> 00:08:50.439
 If it's here,

00:08:51.099 --> 00:08:52.519
 it's already there.

00:08:53.199 --> 00:08:54.339
 I just have to,

00:08:54.819 --> 00:08:55.779
 get it out.

00:08:55.779 --> 00:08:59.220
 I think of many things.

00:08:59.220 --> 00:08:59.379
 I asked,

00:08:59.379 --> 00:09:01.079
 I asked Colleen,

00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:02.860
 to refresh my mind,

00:09:02.899 --> 00:09:03.779
 about a story,

00:09:03.899 --> 00:09:04.679
 she told me,

00:09:05.379 --> 00:09:06.480
 years ago.

00:09:07.839 --> 00:09:08.100
 And,

00:09:08.199 --> 00:09:09.720
 a couple people in here,

00:09:09.819 --> 00:09:11.100
 will probably remember,

00:09:11.220 --> 00:09:11.740
 the name,

00:09:12.319 --> 00:09:13.159
 Jane Goodman.

00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:14.879
 Did anybody know Jane?

00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:15.459
 Okay.

00:09:16.079 --> 00:09:17.379
 Jane was from Girvin.

00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:17.939
 Her husband,

00:09:18.059 --> 00:09:18.319
 Ernie,

00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:19.740
 ran a little garage there,

00:09:19.839 --> 00:09:20.120
 farm,

00:09:20.199 --> 00:09:20.879
 did some things.

00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:22.240
 A character.

00:09:22.939 --> 00:09:23.860
 So was Jane.

00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:25.719
 But Jane loved the Lord,

00:09:25.980 --> 00:09:28.339
 and she loved teaching Sunday school.

00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:29.899
 Okay.

00:09:29.980 --> 00:09:30.819
 The little kids,

00:09:30.899 --> 00:09:31.719
 she'd bring them in,

00:09:31.779 --> 00:09:32.219
 and why not.

00:09:32.220 --> 00:09:34.160
 And there was a favorite song,

00:09:34.300 --> 00:09:34.840
 she had.

00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:36.360
 It was,

00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:37.920
 Jesus Loves Me.

00:09:40.100 --> 00:09:41.019
 And I'm sure,

00:09:41.180 --> 00:09:42.379
 we all know that song.

00:09:42.500 --> 00:09:43.480
 We've all heard it,

00:09:43.899 --> 00:09:44.820
 many times.

00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:45.620
 Okay.

00:09:45.860 --> 00:09:46.139
 Well,

00:09:46.680 --> 00:09:48.019
 the kids in the class,

00:09:48.899 --> 00:09:49.980
 year after year,

00:09:50.940 --> 00:09:52.019
 listened to Jane.

00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:53.480
 Jesus Loves Me.

00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:54.580
 Jesus Loves Me.

00:09:54.620 --> 00:09:55.540
 And they sang the song,

00:09:55.660 --> 00:09:57.000
 and Jane always led them.

00:09:57.139 --> 00:09:58.220
 Jesus Loves Me.

00:09:58.600 --> 00:09:59.580
 This I know.

00:10:00.700 --> 00:10:01.060
 Okay.

00:10:01.059 --> 00:10:03.659
 And the kids all got to know the song.

00:10:04.199 --> 00:10:05.479
 What was the name of the song?

00:10:05.819 --> 00:10:06.939
 Jesus Loves Jane.

00:10:09.359 --> 00:10:11.359
 Because that's the way she sang,

00:10:11.439 --> 00:10:11.619
 she said,

00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:12.179
 she poured it,

00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:13.519
 Jesus Loves Me.

00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:14.719
 So,

00:10:15.079 --> 00:10:15.659
 the kids,

00:10:16.259 --> 00:10:16.899
 actually,

00:10:17.459 --> 00:10:17.819
 would say,

00:10:17.939 --> 00:10:19.219
 Jesus Loves Jane.

00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:21.479
 Okay.

00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:23.039
 So when you sing a song like,

00:10:23.099 --> 00:10:23.699
 Jesus Loves,

00:10:23.719 --> 00:10:25.099
 put your own name in it.

00:10:27.299 --> 00:10:29.000
 Jesus Loves Brian.

00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:30.159
 This I know.

00:10:31.059 --> 00:10:34.859
 Jesus Loves Memphis.

00:10:37.939 --> 00:10:39.559
 Jesus Loves Judy.

00:10:40.899 --> 00:10:42.419
 Put it in your hearts.

00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:43.179
 Know

00:10:43.179 --> 00:10:45.619
 the love of God.

00:10:46.619 --> 00:10:47.759
 It's there.

00:10:48.019 --> 00:10:49.339
 It's there for us.

00:10:50.819 --> 00:10:51.119
 That's

00:10:51.119 --> 00:10:54.119
 how deep the Father's love for us.

00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:55.220
 Okay.

00:10:57.120 --> 00:10:58.560
 He sent his son.

00:10:58.620 --> 00:10:59.779
 His son died.

00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:00.639
 Okay.

00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:01.879
 For us.

00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:05.720
 God's love was there.

00:11:06.220 --> 00:11:07.039
 He died.

00:11:07.899 --> 00:11:09.320
 To save a wretch.

00:11:09.779 --> 00:11:10.600
 Like me.

00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:11.340
 Or like you.

00:11:12.940 --> 00:11:13.379
 Okay.

00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:14.580
 To give us

00:11:14.580 --> 00:11:15.879
 eternal life.

00:11:16.620 --> 00:11:17.019
 Wow.

00:11:17.019 --> 00:11:17.100
 Wow.

00:11:17.100 --> 00:11:21.200
 I wanted to.

00:11:21.540 --> 00:11:22.879
 Four different verses

00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:23.779
 came to mind

00:11:23.779 --> 00:11:24.420
 as I was

00:11:24.420 --> 00:11:25.300
 thinking about

00:11:25.300 --> 00:11:26.519
 talking about love.

00:11:26.779 --> 00:11:27.980
 One is in Matthew.

00:11:28.100 --> 00:11:29.159
 Matthew 22

00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:30.540
 verse 39.

00:11:34.060 --> 00:11:35.620
 I just have to find

00:11:35.620 --> 00:11:36.159
 39.

00:11:38.379 --> 00:11:39.060
 Okay.

00:11:39.059 --> 00:11:41.539
 It's just before that.

00:11:41.619 --> 00:11:41.859
 Okay.

00:11:41.899 --> 00:11:43.359
 I'm going to start at 37.

00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:43.979
 It says

00:11:43.979 --> 00:11:45.939
 love the Lord your God

00:11:45.939 --> 00:11:47.159
 with all your heart

00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:49.439
 with all your soul

00:11:49.439 --> 00:11:51.199
 and with all your mind.

00:11:51.479 --> 00:11:52.799
 This is the first

00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:54.559
 and greatest commandment.

00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:56.419
 And the second

00:11:56.419 --> 00:11:58.579
 is like it.

00:11:58.939 --> 00:12:00.259
 Love your neighbor

00:12:00.259 --> 00:12:02.039
 as yourself.

00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:06.759
 So it reminds us

00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:07.840
 that what

00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:09.120
 what are we to do?

00:12:09.379 --> 00:12:09.740
 Love.

00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:11.659
 We got to love the Lord.

00:12:11.819 --> 00:12:13.460
 The first four commandments

00:12:13.460 --> 00:12:15.059
 deal with love.

00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:16.100
 The love of God.

00:12:16.439 --> 00:12:17.559
 Loving our parents.

00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:18.360
 Respecting them.

00:12:19.059 --> 00:12:19.379
 Love.

00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:20.600
 Okay.

00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:22.419
 The two greatest commandments.

00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:23.659
 The first one

00:12:23.659 --> 00:12:25.519
 love the Lord your God.

00:12:27.539 --> 00:12:28.740
 And the second one

00:12:28.740 --> 00:12:29.500
 just like it.

00:12:29.500 --> 00:12:30.840
 Love your neighbor

00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:32.320
 as yourself.

00:12:36.860 --> 00:12:37.759
 It just

00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:41.080
 tells me

00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:42.320
 that love

00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:43.580
 is that important.

00:12:44.740 --> 00:12:45.639
 The next one

00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:46.960
 I don't have to look up.

00:12:47.899 --> 00:12:48.279
 Okay.

00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:49.919
 I've got it marked here.

00:12:50.379 --> 00:12:51.860
 It's from the book of John.

00:12:52.860 --> 00:12:54.519
 It's in chapter 3.

00:12:54.940 --> 00:12:56.419
 Anybody figured it out yet?

00:12:56.419 --> 00:12:59.099
 And how about

00:12:59.099 --> 00:13:00.939
 verse 16 and 17?

00:13:01.199 --> 00:13:02.439
 I like to throw 17

00:13:02.439 --> 00:13:03.679
 into it as well.

00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:09.620
 But John 3.16

00:13:09.620 --> 00:13:11.059
 starts out

00:13:11.059 --> 00:13:12.059
 verse 16.

00:13:12.059 --> 00:13:14.259
 For God so loved the world

00:13:14.259 --> 00:13:16.439
 that he gave his

00:13:16.439 --> 00:13:18.299
 one and only son

00:13:18.299 --> 00:13:20.679
 that whoever believes in him

00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:21.839
 shall not perish

00:13:21.839 --> 00:13:23.959
 but have eternal life.

00:13:24.959 --> 00:13:26.399
 For God did not send

00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:27.539
 his son into the world

00:13:27.539 --> 00:13:28.959
 to condemn the world

00:13:28.959 --> 00:13:31.559
 but to save the world

00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:33.259
 through his son.

00:13:33.259 --> 00:13:36.220
 He loved us

00:13:36.220 --> 00:13:37.500
 that much

00:13:37.500 --> 00:13:41.100
 that he would

00:13:41.100 --> 00:13:43.000
 send his

00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:43.860
 only son.

00:13:43.939 --> 00:13:45.220
 I have an only son.

00:13:45.419 --> 00:13:46.340
 Some of you do too.

00:13:46.419 --> 00:13:47.240
 But even if it's not

00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:47.980
 your only son

00:13:47.980 --> 00:13:48.819
 if you have a son

00:13:48.819 --> 00:13:50.580
 can you imagine

00:13:50.580 --> 00:13:51.379
 intentionally

00:13:51.379 --> 00:13:53.000
 sending your son

00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:55.000
 to die

00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:55.899
 for somebody else?

00:13:55.899 --> 00:14:00.379
 I can imagine it

00:14:00.379 --> 00:14:00.759
 but boy

00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:01.039
 it

00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:02.740
 it almost

00:14:02.740 --> 00:14:03.879
 horrifies me

00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:05.019
 to think of that

00:14:05.019 --> 00:14:06.059
 to

00:14:06.059 --> 00:14:07.100
 to let

00:14:07.100 --> 00:14:08.399
 to send myself

00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:08.899
 and have

00:14:08.899 --> 00:14:09.620
 me

00:14:09.620 --> 00:14:11.139
 die for somebody

00:14:11.139 --> 00:14:11.740
 that would be alright

00:14:11.740 --> 00:14:12.959
 but not my son.

00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:16.579
 The love God

00:14:16.579 --> 00:14:17.639
 must have for us

00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:18.740
 that he would allow

00:14:18.740 --> 00:14:20.539
 that to happen.

00:14:21.439 --> 00:14:21.600
 Okay

00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:22.960
 this is going to run away

00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:23.639
 on me again.

00:14:24.819 --> 00:14:25.000
 The

00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:30.039
 how about Romans

00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:33.720
 chapter 5

00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:35.039
 verse 8

00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:37.799
 but God

00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:38.659
 demonstrates

00:14:38.659 --> 00:14:39.799
 his own love

00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:40.480
 for us

00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:41.419
 in this

00:14:41.419 --> 00:14:43.460
 while we were

00:14:43.460 --> 00:14:44.700
 still sinners

00:14:44.700 --> 00:14:46.740
 Christ died

00:14:46.740 --> 00:14:47.360
 for us.

00:14:51.980 --> 00:14:52.940
 Christ died

00:14:52.940 --> 00:14:53.500
 for me

00:14:53.500 --> 00:14:55.320
 just over

00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:56.820
 2,000 years

00:14:56.820 --> 00:14:57.240
 ago

00:14:57.240 --> 00:15:00.720
 long before

00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:01.600
 I was ever

00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:02.019
 here

00:15:02.019 --> 00:15:03.360
 but he knew

00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:03.919
 that I was

00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:04.279
 coming

00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:06.580
 and he knew

00:15:06.580 --> 00:15:08.399
 that I needed

00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:08.899
 saving.

00:15:10.539 --> 00:15:11.879
 I didn't know

00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:13.419
 I didn't know

00:15:13.419 --> 00:15:13.820
 until

00:15:13.820 --> 00:15:15.600
 I was going to say

00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:16.460
 a couple years ago

00:15:16.460 --> 00:15:17.019
 but when I

00:15:17.019 --> 00:15:17.759
 start thinking

00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:18.299
 it's

00:15:18.299 --> 00:15:21.659
 more than a couple

00:15:21.659 --> 00:15:25.139
 it's almost

00:15:25.139 --> 00:15:26.120
 half my life

00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:26.439
 ago

00:15:26.439 --> 00:15:28.639
 when I realized

00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:29.099
 how much

00:15:29.099 --> 00:15:29.799
 he loved me

00:15:29.799 --> 00:15:30.539
 and what he

00:15:30.539 --> 00:15:31.139
 wanted me

00:15:31.139 --> 00:15:31.639
 to do.

00:15:35.059 --> 00:15:36.179
 And the last

00:15:36.179 --> 00:15:36.959
 verse I'm going

00:15:36.959 --> 00:15:37.679
 to go to

00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:38.559
 is in

00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:39.519
 Mark.

00:15:40.479 --> 00:15:41.159
 It is

00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:41.879
 one of my

00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:42.879
 favorite verses

00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:43.659
 in the Bible

00:15:43.659 --> 00:15:44.179
 I have

00:15:44.179 --> 00:15:44.980
 used it

00:15:44.980 --> 00:15:46.699
 for years

00:15:46.699 --> 00:15:48.319
 when Colleen

00:15:48.319 --> 00:15:48.659
 and I

00:15:48.659 --> 00:15:49.019
 were in

00:15:49.019 --> 00:15:49.839
 camp ministry

00:15:49.839 --> 00:15:50.659
 we spoke

00:15:50.659 --> 00:15:52.100
 all over

00:15:52.100 --> 00:15:53.159
 western Canada

00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:53.719
 really

00:15:53.719 --> 00:15:54.919
 at different

00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:55.339
 churches

00:15:55.339 --> 00:15:55.959
 and what not

00:15:55.959 --> 00:15:57.079
 but this

00:15:57.079 --> 00:15:57.659
 is a verse

00:15:57.659 --> 00:15:58.259
 that I used

00:15:58.259 --> 00:15:58.740
 an awful

00:15:58.740 --> 00:15:59.219
 lot

00:15:59.219 --> 00:15:59.879
 then

00:15:59.879 --> 00:16:00.959
 and it

00:16:00.959 --> 00:16:01.279
 is

00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:01.939
 Mark

00:16:01.939 --> 00:16:02.919
 chapter 10

00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:04.539
 starting

00:16:04.539 --> 00:16:04.839
 at

00:16:04.839 --> 00:16:05.779
 verse

00:16:05.779 --> 00:16:06.620
 13

00:16:06.620 --> 00:16:08.539
 and it

00:16:08.539 --> 00:16:08.740
 says

00:16:08.740 --> 00:16:09.339
 people were

00:16:09.339 --> 00:16:09.740
 bringing

00:16:09.740 --> 00:16:10.159
 little

00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:10.639
 children

00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:11.480
 to Jesus

00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:12.439
 to have

00:16:12.439 --> 00:16:13.019
 him touch

00:16:13.019 --> 00:16:13.379
 them

00:16:13.379 --> 00:16:14.539
 but the

00:16:14.539 --> 00:16:15.399
 disciples

00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:16.460
 rebuked

00:16:16.460 --> 00:16:16.720
 them

00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:17.559
 when Jesus

00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:18.379
 saw this

00:16:18.379 --> 00:16:19.179
 he was

00:16:19.179 --> 00:16:19.819
 indignant

00:16:19.819 --> 00:16:20.939
 he said

00:16:20.939 --> 00:16:21.519
 to them

00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:22.460
 let the

00:16:22.460 --> 00:16:22.720
 little

00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:23.199
 children

00:16:23.199 --> 00:16:23.980
 come to

00:16:23.980 --> 00:16:24.279
 me

00:16:24.279 --> 00:16:24.779
 and do

00:16:24.779 --> 00:16:25.220
 not

00:16:25.220 --> 00:16:26.039
 hinder

00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:26.480
 them

00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:28.539
 for

00:16:28.539 --> 00:16:29.059
 the

00:16:29.059 --> 00:16:29.480
 kingdom

00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:30.500
 of God

00:16:30.500 --> 00:16:31.759
 belongs

00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:32.500
 to such

00:16:32.500 --> 00:16:33.279
 as these

00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:34.600
 I tell

00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:35.019
 you the

00:16:35.019 --> 00:16:35.319
 truth

00:16:35.319 --> 00:16:35.759
 anyone

00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:36.299
 who will

00:16:36.299 --> 00:16:36.600
 not

00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:37.039
 receive

00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:37.279
 the

00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:37.580
 kingdom

00:16:37.580 --> 00:16:38.139
 of God

00:16:38.139 --> 00:16:38.559
 like a

00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:38.919
 little

00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:39.439
 child

00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:40.920
 will

00:16:40.920 --> 00:16:41.300
 never

00:16:41.300 --> 00:16:41.920
 enter

00:16:41.920 --> 00:16:42.240
 it

00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:45.140
 now

00:16:45.140 --> 00:16:45.460
 this

00:16:45.460 --> 00:16:46.020
 next

00:16:46.020 --> 00:16:46.260
 little

00:16:46.260 --> 00:16:46.640
 verse

00:16:46.640 --> 00:16:47.720
 touches

00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:47.960
 my

00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:48.160
 heart

00:16:48.160 --> 00:16:48.340
 all

00:16:48.340 --> 00:16:48.500
 the

00:16:48.500 --> 00:16:48.780
 time

00:16:48.780 --> 00:16:49.420
 it's

00:16:49.420 --> 00:16:50.900
 and he

00:16:50.900 --> 00:16:51.120
 says

00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:51.520
 and he

00:16:51.520 --> 00:16:51.860
 took

00:16:51.860 --> 00:16:52.120
 the

00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:52.540
 children

00:16:52.540 --> 00:16:53.360
 in his

00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:54.100
 arms

00:16:54.100 --> 00:16:55.000
 and put

00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:55.500
 his hands

00:16:55.500 --> 00:16:55.920
 on them

00:16:55.920 --> 00:16:56.440
 and blessed

00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:56.780
 them

00:16:56.780 --> 00:16:57.800
 he took

00:16:57.800 --> 00:16:58.360
 the children

00:16:58.360 --> 00:16:58.780
 in his

00:16:58.780 --> 00:16:58.980
 arms

00:16:58.980 --> 00:16:59.400
 he gave

00:16:59.400 --> 00:16:59.700
 them a

00:16:59.700 --> 00:17:00.100
 hug

00:17:00.100 --> 00:17:01.180
 okay

00:17:01.180 --> 00:17:01.640
 can you

00:17:01.640 --> 00:17:02.100
 imagine

00:17:02.100 --> 00:17:02.580
 that

00:17:02.580 --> 00:17:04.200
 I can

00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:05.400
 I can

00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:05.860
 almost

00:17:05.860 --> 00:17:06.500
 feel

00:17:06.500 --> 00:17:06.779
 it

00:17:06.779 --> 00:17:08.240
 okay

00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:09.000
 Jesus

00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:09.720
 giving me

00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:10.279
 a hug

00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:11.339
 okay

00:17:11.339 --> 00:17:12.240
 a hug

00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:12.680
 is one

00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:13.120
 of the

00:17:13.120 --> 00:17:14.880
 greatest

00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:16.400
 expressions

00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:17.539
 of love

00:17:17.539 --> 00:17:17.960
 that I

00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:18.460
 know

00:17:18.460 --> 00:17:20.000
 okay

00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:23.380
 it can

00:17:23.380 --> 00:17:24.200
 it can

00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:25.039
 reach really

00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:25.579
 right to

00:17:25.579 --> 00:17:26.240
 my soul

00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:27.059
 okay

00:17:27.059 --> 00:17:28.420
 I give

00:17:28.420 --> 00:17:29.019
 you a hug

00:17:29.019 --> 00:17:30.220
 when I

00:17:30.220 --> 00:17:30.620
 meet you

00:17:30.620 --> 00:17:30.900
 and I

00:17:30.900 --> 00:17:31.460
 greet you

00:17:31.460 --> 00:17:32.200
 and it's

00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:32.720
 because

00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:36.220
 I love

00:17:36.220 --> 00:17:36.539
 you

00:17:36.539 --> 00:17:37.339
 not

00:17:37.339 --> 00:17:38.279
 I try

00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:38.620
 to love

00:17:38.620 --> 00:17:38.880
 you as

00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:39.299
 much as

00:17:39.299 --> 00:17:39.640
 Christ

00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:40.160
 but that'll

00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:40.440
 never

00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:40.839
 work

00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:41.279
 I'll never

00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:41.620
 get

00:17:41.620 --> 00:17:42.759
 that good

00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:43.299
 at it

00:17:43.299 --> 00:17:45.079
 but

00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:46.000
 it's the

00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:46.380
 way

00:17:46.380 --> 00:17:47.120
 God

00:17:47.120 --> 00:17:48.100
 wants it

00:17:48.100 --> 00:17:48.680
 he wants

00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:49.120
 us to

00:17:49.120 --> 00:17:49.700
 know

00:17:49.700 --> 00:17:51.240
 that yes

00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:52.100
 we have

00:17:52.100 --> 00:17:52.600
 to love

00:17:52.600 --> 00:17:53.059
 him

00:17:53.059 --> 00:17:54.759
 but

00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:56.279
 the only

00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:56.720
 way we

00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:57.279
 can do

00:17:57.279 --> 00:17:57.759
 that

00:17:57.759 --> 00:17:58.920
 is because

00:17:58.920 --> 00:17:59.839
 he first

00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:00.980
 loved us

00:18:00.980 --> 00:18:02.240
 and he

00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:02.759
 loved us

00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:03.759
 so much

00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:05.879
 he gave

00:18:05.879 --> 00:18:06.379
 his son

00:18:06.379 --> 00:18:07.759
 for us

00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:12.759
 Jesus

00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:13.399
 loves

00:18:13.399 --> 00:18:13.740
 me

00:18:13.740 --> 00:18:17.500
 can you

00:18:17.500 --> 00:18:17.919
 put your

00:18:17.919 --> 00:18:18.379
 own name

00:18:18.379 --> 00:18:18.879
 in it

00:18:18.879 --> 00:18:21.240
 Jesus

00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:21.799
 loves

00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:22.339
 less

00:18:22.339 --> 00:18:26.439
 and

00:18:26.439 --> 00:18:26.980
 Gary

00:18:26.980 --> 00:18:29.860
 and

00:18:29.860 --> 00:18:30.339
 Simon

00:18:30.339 --> 00:18:32.660
 put our

00:18:32.660 --> 00:18:33.140
 own

00:18:33.140 --> 00:18:33.599
 names

00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:34.200
 on it

00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:34.819
 okay

00:18:34.819 --> 00:18:35.779
 let's

00:18:35.779 --> 00:18:36.799
 take

00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:37.620
 hold

00:18:37.620 --> 00:18:38.400
 of the

00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:38.980
 love

00:18:38.980 --> 00:18:40.819
 that

00:18:40.819 --> 00:18:41.240
 God

00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:42.500
 wants us

00:18:42.500 --> 00:18:43.180
 to have

00:18:43.180 --> 00:18:44.759
 and then

00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:45.079
 let's

00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:45.640
 remember

00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:47.140
 to share

00:18:47.140 --> 00:18:47.880
 that love

00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:49.319
 okay

00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:50.360
 be a

00:18:50.360 --> 00:18:50.860
 glowing

00:18:50.860 --> 00:18:52.279
 example

00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:53.279
 okay

00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:54.599
 they say

00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:55.680
 you don't

00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:56.299
 light a

00:18:56.299 --> 00:18:56.799
 light and

00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:57.440
 put it

00:18:57.440 --> 00:18:57.899
 under a

00:18:57.899 --> 00:18:58.259
 bowl

00:18:58.259 --> 00:18:59.579
 be the

00:18:59.579 --> 00:18:59.940
 light
