00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.280
 Good morning, everybody.

00:00:04.980 --> 00:00:10.980
 So, if your Bibles are open to Ezra chapter 9, we're going to cover two chapters today.

00:00:11.060 --> 00:00:13.780
! We're not going to read every verse in the two chapters.

00:00:14.280 --> 00:00:16.240
 I'm not going to read it all from the start either.

00:00:16.379 --> 00:00:18.620
 We're just going to walk through the text together as we go.

00:00:19.339 --> 00:00:23.199
 So, Ezra chapter 9, page 481.

00:00:23.699 --> 00:00:25.460
 A reminder of where we are in the story.

00:00:25.460 --> 00:00:30.700
 A remnant of God's people have returned from exile in Babylon.

00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:35.640
 Ezra chapters 1 to 6 tell us how the temple is restored.

00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:42.100
 And then chapters 7 to 10 tell us how God's people are restored.

00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:49.939
 And in chapter 8, Jerusalem is filled with joy as sacrifices are made at the temple.

00:00:49.939 --> 00:00:56.339
 As Ezra, the priest and the teacher, begins to teach God's word again.

00:00:57.619 --> 00:01:02.459
 But the joy is about to turn to anguish.

00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:06.259
 And that's what we come across in chapter 9.

00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:11.039
 So, let me just pray again briefly before we read this.

00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:20.020
 Lord, as we open your perfect word, we thank you that you're speaking to us right now through it.

00:01:20.060 --> 00:01:20.820
 We believe that.

00:01:21.900 --> 00:01:29.080
 We pray that you would, by your spirit, expose our sin and help us see Christ in his glory.

00:01:29.660 --> 00:01:30.040
 Amen.

00:01:31.180 --> 00:01:33.620
 Ezra chapter 9, verse 1.

00:01:33.620 --> 00:01:37.340
 After these things had been done, the leaders came to me and said,

00:01:38.060 --> 00:01:45.180
 The people of Israel, including the priests and the Levites, have not kept themselves separate from the neighboring peoples

00:01:45.180 --> 00:01:54.800
 with their detestable practices, like those of the Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Jebusites, Ammonites, Moabites, Egyptians, and Amorites.

00:01:54.799 --> 00:02:06.459
 They have taken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and their sons and have mingled the holy race with the peoples around them.

00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:13.199
 And the leaders and officials have led the way in this unfaithfulness.

00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:18.639
 Now, it could be easy to look at this and say,

00:02:18.819 --> 00:02:27.319
 What's the big deal if around 100 or so Israelite men married women from other nations?

00:02:27.780 --> 00:02:30.139
 Why is that a bad thing?

00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:34.179
 Well, the key is the last word in the verse.

00:02:36.739 --> 00:02:37.179
 Unfaithfulness.

00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:42.539
 In fact, it's repeated five times in the next two chapters.

00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.319
 The issue here was not racial.

00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:49.780
 It was spiritual.

00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:52.259
 Here's how.

00:02:52.780 --> 00:02:58.539
 When God rescued his people from slavery in Egypt and brought them into the Promised Land,

00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:03.099
 he warned them with these words, as Ezra records, in verse 11.

00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:04.199
 Look down to verse 11.

00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:06.500
 A little bit into the verse.

00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:07.179
 It says this.

00:03:07.979 --> 00:03:08.439
 God said,

00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:27.300
 And now here was God's loving instruction.

00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:28.180
 Verse 12.

00:03:28.180 --> 00:03:36.680
 Therefore, do not give your daughters in marriage to their sons or take their daughters for your sons.

00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:40.080
 Do not seek a treaty of friendship with them at any time,

00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:45.780
 that you may be strong and eat the good things of the land,

00:03:46.020 --> 00:03:49.939
 and leave it to your children as an everlasting inheritance.

00:03:49.939 --> 00:03:54.879
 You see, these peoples of other nations,

00:03:54.979 --> 00:04:00.000
 they worshipped demonic powers disguised as idols,

00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:04.560
 who required detestable practices,

00:04:05.099 --> 00:04:10.939
 such as ritual prostitution, self-harm, child sacrifice.

00:04:10.939 --> 00:04:16.339
 Out of love, God warned them,

00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:18.920
 do not join yourselves to these people.

00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:25.959
 They will lead you astray from me, your true husband.

00:04:26.740 --> 00:04:31.740
 They will lead you into those detestable practices of false gods.

00:04:31.740 --> 00:04:35.199
 But the people wouldn't listen.

00:04:35.960 --> 00:04:38.680
 And time after time,

00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.300
 they allowed these people from the surrounding nations to live among them.

00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:44.740
 And as we see here,

00:04:45.100 --> 00:04:46.400
 they even married them,

00:04:48.420 --> 00:04:50.680
 practicing the same evil

00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:54.620
 as they ran after those false gods.

00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:56.379
 It's horrendous.

00:04:56.379 --> 00:05:02.259
 They were unfaithful to the perfectly faithful God

00:05:02.259 --> 00:05:03.839
 in heaven,

00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:06.139
 who had rescued them and redeemed them.

00:05:09.300 --> 00:05:10.959
 Now, what about us?

00:05:13.980 --> 00:05:16.819
 Christ has fulfilled the Old Testament law.

00:05:17.180 --> 00:05:21.779
 There's no racial restriction on who we marry anymore.

00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:24.719
 The New Testament simply calls believers

00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:26.840
 not to marry unbelievers.

00:05:28.960 --> 00:05:30.840
 But our unfaithfulness

00:05:30.840 --> 00:05:33.720
 stretches so far beyond

00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:35.420
 who we marry.

00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:38.720
 We are unfaithful to God

00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.400
 every time we look to someone

00:05:41.400 --> 00:05:42.500
 or something else

00:05:42.500 --> 00:05:44.720
 for life or joy or comfort

00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:46.020
 apart from God.

00:05:47.200 --> 00:05:48.180
 It could be a career

00:05:48.180 --> 00:05:50.160
 or a family or a person.

00:05:50.960 --> 00:05:52.240
 We are unfaithful to God

00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:54.860
 every time we indulge in sin,

00:05:56.420 --> 00:05:57.439
 whether that's gossip

00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:58.699
 about a colleague

00:05:58.699 --> 00:06:01.139
 or lying to get ahead

00:06:01.139 --> 00:06:03.620
 or entertaining lustful thoughts

00:06:03.620 --> 00:06:04.460
 about someone.

00:06:05.400 --> 00:06:06.819
 We are unfaithful to God

00:06:06.819 --> 00:06:08.939
 every time we know the right thing to do

00:06:08.939 --> 00:06:09.560
 from his word

00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:11.220
 and we don't do it

00:06:11.220 --> 00:06:12.660
 out of fear

00:06:12.660 --> 00:06:14.699
 or laziness

00:06:14.699 --> 00:06:16.819
 or desire for our own comfort.

00:06:16.819 --> 00:06:20.659
 God is perfectly faithful.

00:06:21.779 --> 00:06:26.099
 We are treacherously unfaithful.

00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:29.699
 All our sin and rebellion

00:06:29.699 --> 00:06:31.019
 is just like us

00:06:31.019 --> 00:06:32.279
 walking out

00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:33.300
 on the God

00:06:33.300 --> 00:06:35.219
 who has loved us perfectly

00:06:35.219 --> 00:06:36.740
 and into the arms

00:06:36.740 --> 00:06:37.519
 of false gods

00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:38.759
 that we have set up.

00:06:39.339 --> 00:06:40.699
 When someone commits

00:06:40.699 --> 00:06:41.879
 adultery

00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:43.039
 on a loving,

00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:44.040
 caring spouse

00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:44.819
 who has been faithful

00:06:44.819 --> 00:06:45.640
 over many years,

00:06:45.700 --> 00:06:47.020
 that is devastating.

00:06:50.860 --> 00:06:52.460
 God uses that image

00:06:52.460 --> 00:06:53.379
 to help us,

00:06:53.400 --> 00:06:53.800
 I think,

00:06:53.900 --> 00:06:54.740
 to grasp

00:06:54.740 --> 00:06:57.660
 this is the nature

00:06:57.660 --> 00:06:58.560
 of our unfaithfulness

00:06:58.560 --> 00:06:59.220
 to God.

00:07:00.340 --> 00:07:01.740
 That is how shocking

00:07:01.740 --> 00:07:04.100
 and incomprehensible

00:07:04.100 --> 00:07:05.220
 it is

00:07:05.220 --> 00:07:08.120
 that we

00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:09.180
 would walk out

00:07:09.180 --> 00:07:09.939
 on him

00:07:09.939 --> 00:07:12.120
 in his love

00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:13.500
 and

00:07:13.500 --> 00:07:14.180
 the question

00:07:14.180 --> 00:07:14.699
 looming

00:07:14.699 --> 00:07:16.139
 large

00:07:16.139 --> 00:07:17.000
 in front of us

00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:17.680
 in this text

00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:18.280
 is this.

00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:21.639
 How can a treacherously

00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:23.540
 unfaithful people

00:07:23.540 --> 00:07:25.100
 remain

00:07:25.100 --> 00:07:26.699
 with a perfectly

00:07:26.699 --> 00:07:27.660
 faithful God?

00:07:29.540 --> 00:07:30.879
 How could we,

00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:32.600
 the repeatedly

00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:33.680
 adulterous wife,

00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:36.120
 continue in relationship

00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:37.360
 with this perfect husband?

00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:40.500
 it would seem

00:07:40.500 --> 00:07:41.060
 impossible.

00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:43.040
 And yet,

00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:44.080
 the answer rings

00:07:44.080 --> 00:07:45.080
 through the pages

00:07:45.080 --> 00:07:47.580
 of Ezra 9 and 10

00:07:47.580 --> 00:07:48.980
 that through

00:07:48.980 --> 00:07:50.080
 repentance

00:07:50.080 --> 00:07:51.780
 and faith,

00:07:52.460 --> 00:07:52.740
 we,

00:07:53.259 --> 00:07:54.080
 the unfaithful,

00:07:54.379 --> 00:07:55.560
 can remain

00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:58.199
 with the perfectly

00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:00.139
 faithful God.

00:08:00.699 --> 00:08:01.480
 Repentance

00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:02.340
 and faith

00:08:02.340 --> 00:08:03.480
 is not just how we

00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:04.900
 begin the Christian life,

00:08:04.899 --> 00:08:07.139
 it's how we live it

00:08:07.139 --> 00:08:08.739
 every single day.

00:08:08.919 --> 00:08:10.039
 So we need to hear,

00:08:10.339 --> 00:08:11.299
 what does it mean

00:08:11.299 --> 00:08:12.099
 to truly repent?

00:08:12.819 --> 00:08:13.839
 What does that look like?

00:08:14.899 --> 00:08:15.699
 And then,

00:08:16.419 --> 00:08:19.659
 what is that true faith

00:08:19.659 --> 00:08:21.939
 that follows repentance?

00:08:22.620 --> 00:08:23.579
 We're going to see it

00:08:23.579 --> 00:08:24.159
 in this text.

00:08:24.339 --> 00:08:25.000
 We're going to

00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:25.959
 first see

00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:27.179
 three different stages

00:08:27.179 --> 00:08:28.539
 of true repentance

00:08:28.539 --> 00:08:30.419
 as we walk through

00:08:30.419 --> 00:08:31.739
 the story.

00:08:31.740 --> 00:08:33.180
 Now,

00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:34.360
 the first step

00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:35.240
 of true repentance

00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.659
 is brokenheartedness

00:08:37.659 --> 00:08:38.340
 at our sin.

00:08:38.620 --> 00:08:39.200
 Look with me

00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:41.899
 at Ezra 9

00:08:41.899 --> 00:08:43.000
 and verse 3.

00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:48.320
 And this is Ezra's

00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:49.440
 reaction to hearing

00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:51.539
 of the Israelite sin

00:08:51.539 --> 00:08:52.820
 of marrying women

00:08:52.820 --> 00:08:53.560
 from other nations.

00:08:54.560 --> 00:08:55.200
 Verse 3,

00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:57.080
 when I heard this,

00:08:57.600 --> 00:08:59.360
 I tore my tunic

00:08:59.360 --> 00:08:59.919
 and cloak,

00:09:00.299 --> 00:09:01.259
 pulled hair

00:09:01.259 --> 00:09:01.960
 from my head

00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:02.480
 and beard

00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:03.580
 and sat down

00:09:03.580 --> 00:09:05.100
 appalled.

00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:07.759
 Then everyone

00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:08.559
 who trembled

00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:09.240
 at the words

00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:10.340
 of the God of Israel

00:09:10.340 --> 00:09:12.100
 gathered around me

00:09:12.100 --> 00:09:14.039
 because of this

00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:15.340
 unfaithfulness

00:09:15.340 --> 00:09:16.840
 of the exiles.

00:09:18.220 --> 00:09:19.639
 And I sat there

00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:21.039
 appalled

00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:23.679
 until the evening sacrifice.

00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:25.559
 Skip forward

00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:26.980
 to chapter 10

00:09:26.980 --> 00:09:27.519
 verse 1.

00:09:28.059 --> 00:09:28.899
 While Ezra

00:09:28.899 --> 00:09:29.519
 was praying

00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:30.340
 and confessing,

00:09:30.779 --> 00:09:31.159
 weeping

00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:32.000
 and throwing

00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:32.899
 himself down

00:09:32.899 --> 00:09:34.039
 before the house

00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:34.500
 of God,

00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:36.059
 a large crowd

00:09:36.059 --> 00:09:36.639
 of Israelites,

00:09:37.179 --> 00:09:37.519
 men,

00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:37.819
 women,

00:09:37.899 --> 00:09:38.360
 and children

00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:39.879
 gathered round him.

00:09:40.419 --> 00:09:41.240
 They too

00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:43.299
 wept bitterly.

00:09:43.980 --> 00:09:45.000
 Here's the first sign

00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:46.659
 of true repentance.

00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:49.939
 It's a broken heart

00:09:49.939 --> 00:09:51.199
 at our own sin.

00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:55.820
 We all know

00:09:55.820 --> 00:09:56.560
 the situation

00:09:56.560 --> 00:09:57.620
 around the dinner table.

00:09:59.020 --> 00:09:59.780
 The child

00:09:59.780 --> 00:10:01.220
 wrongs their sibling

00:10:01.220 --> 00:10:02.020
 in some way

00:10:02.020 --> 00:10:02.520
 or another

00:10:02.520 --> 00:10:03.500
 and shows

00:10:03.500 --> 00:10:04.140
 no remorse

00:10:04.140 --> 00:10:04.540
 for it.

00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:06.200
 Parent says

00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:06.759
 to child,

00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:08.160
 say sorry

00:10:08.160 --> 00:10:09.180
 to your brother.

00:10:10.660 --> 00:10:11.259
 But

00:10:11.259 --> 00:10:12.259
 no apology

00:10:12.259 --> 00:10:13.040
 is forthcoming.

00:10:13.900 --> 00:10:14.200
 Parent

00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:14.940
 gets a little

00:10:14.940 --> 00:10:15.460
 tetchy,

00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:17.100
 says,

00:10:17.580 --> 00:10:18.320
 unless you

00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:18.920
 say sorry,

00:10:19.860 --> 00:10:21.220
 there won't

00:10:21.220 --> 00:10:21.960
 be any dessert.

00:10:24.460 --> 00:10:25.000
 Child

00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:25.700
 thinks about it

00:10:25.700 --> 00:10:26.280
 for a second,

00:10:26.860 --> 00:10:27.260
 weighs up

00:10:27.260 --> 00:10:27.940
 the options,

00:10:28.620 --> 00:10:29.180
 and then

00:10:29.180 --> 00:10:29.720
 mutters

00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:31.120
 sorry.

00:10:33.420 --> 00:10:34.400
 We all

00:10:34.400 --> 00:10:34.820
 know

00:10:34.820 --> 00:10:35.420
 fake

00:10:35.420 --> 00:10:36.360
 repentance

00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:37.620
 of the lips

00:10:37.620 --> 00:10:38.620
 when we

00:10:38.620 --> 00:10:39.200
 see it,

00:10:39.300 --> 00:10:39.720
 when we

00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:40.340
 hear it.

00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:42.760
 David

00:10:42.760 --> 00:10:43.280
 said in

00:10:43.280 --> 00:10:44.020
 Psalm 51,

00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:44.520
 he said,

00:10:44.640 --> 00:10:45.120
 you don't

00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:45.540
 delight,

00:10:45.700 --> 00:10:45.820
 Lord,

00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:47.080
 in sacrifice

00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:47.460
 or I'd

00:10:47.460 --> 00:10:47.880
 bring it.

00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:49.400
 You don't

00:10:49.400 --> 00:10:49.980
 take pleasure

00:10:49.980 --> 00:10:50.460
 in burnt

00:10:50.460 --> 00:10:50.980
 offerings.

00:10:51.620 --> 00:10:51.879
 My

00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:52.640
 sacrifice,

00:10:52.800 --> 00:10:53.240
 oh God,

00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:53.820
 is a

00:10:53.820 --> 00:10:54.300
 broken

00:10:54.300 --> 00:10:55.160
 spirit,

00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:57.260
 a broken

00:10:57.260 --> 00:10:58.500
 and contrite

00:10:58.500 --> 00:10:59.040
 heart

00:10:59.040 --> 00:10:59.840
 you,

00:11:00.040 --> 00:11:00.360
 God,

00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:01.280
 will not

00:11:01.280 --> 00:11:02.120
 despise.

00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:04.700
 True

00:11:04.700 --> 00:11:05.220
 repentance

00:11:05.220 --> 00:11:06.080
 begins with

00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:06.920
 a broken

00:11:06.920 --> 00:11:08.800
 and contrite

00:11:08.800 --> 00:11:09.320
 heart

00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:10.460
 at our

00:11:10.460 --> 00:11:11.280
 unfaithfulness,

00:11:12.740 --> 00:11:13.500
 recognizing

00:11:13.500 --> 00:11:14.520
 how hideous

00:11:14.520 --> 00:11:15.020
 our sin

00:11:15.020 --> 00:11:15.700
 is.

00:11:15.700 --> 00:11:17.680
 and we

00:11:17.680 --> 00:11:18.259
 can't

00:11:18.259 --> 00:11:18.600
 fake

00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:19.100
 that.

00:11:22.100 --> 00:11:23.259
 So we

00:11:23.259 --> 00:11:23.820
 need to

00:11:23.820 --> 00:11:24.340
 know

00:11:24.340 --> 00:11:26.020
 what

00:11:26.020 --> 00:11:26.759
 caused

00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:27.480
 Ezra

00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:27.920
 and the

00:11:27.920 --> 00:11:28.280
 people

00:11:28.280 --> 00:11:29.200
 of Israel

00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:30.100
 around him

00:11:30.100 --> 00:11:31.040
 to be

00:11:31.040 --> 00:11:31.580
 truly

00:11:31.580 --> 00:11:32.259
 grieved

00:11:32.259 --> 00:11:33.000
 at their

00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:33.420
 sin.

00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:34.720
 Here's the

00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:35.160
 answer.

00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:36.259
 What happened

00:11:36.259 --> 00:11:36.759
 right before

00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:37.400
 this chapter?

00:11:38.040 --> 00:11:38.640
 God's

00:11:38.640 --> 00:11:39.200
 word

00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:40.240
 was taught

00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:41.480
 for the

00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:41.940
 first time

00:11:41.940 --> 00:11:42.300
 in a very

00:11:42.299 --> 00:11:43.059
 long time.

00:11:44.419 --> 00:11:45.579
 And God's

00:11:45.579 --> 00:11:46.039
 spirit

00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:47.120
 convicted

00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:47.859
 the people

00:11:47.859 --> 00:11:49.099
 how they

00:11:49.099 --> 00:11:50.219
 were totally

00:11:50.219 --> 00:11:51.059
 out of line

00:11:51.059 --> 00:11:52.000
 with God's

00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:52.359
 word.

00:11:54.599 --> 00:11:54.839
 You see,

00:11:54.899 --> 00:11:55.199
 God's word

00:11:55.199 --> 00:11:56.079
 shows us

00:11:56.079 --> 00:11:57.319
 his perfect

00:11:57.319 --> 00:11:58.219
 standard.

00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:00.179
 And then

00:12:00.179 --> 00:12:00.919
 the spirit

00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:01.959
 convicts us

00:12:01.959 --> 00:12:02.359
 of how

00:12:02.359 --> 00:12:03.120
 we've

00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:03.359
 fallen

00:12:03.359 --> 00:12:03.819
 short.

00:12:04.299 --> 00:12:04.819
 And we

00:12:04.819 --> 00:12:06.120
 need this

00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:07.139
 desperately.

00:12:07.779 --> 00:12:08.459
 We must

00:12:08.459 --> 00:12:09.120
 have

00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:09.799
 God's

00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:10.099
 spirit

00:12:10.100 --> 00:12:11.000
 expose

00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:11.500
 our

00:12:11.500 --> 00:12:11.879
 sin

00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:12.519
 through

00:12:12.519 --> 00:12:13.320
 God's

00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:13.700
 word.

00:12:14.420 --> 00:12:15.100
 So we

00:12:15.100 --> 00:12:15.680
 cry out

00:12:15.680 --> 00:12:15.960
 to him

00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:16.240
 to do

00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:16.460
 that

00:12:16.460 --> 00:12:16.899
 convicting

00:12:16.899 --> 00:12:17.340
 work.

00:12:19.060 --> 00:12:19.580
 Whether

00:12:19.580 --> 00:12:19.759
 we're

00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:20.019
 hearing

00:12:20.019 --> 00:12:20.399
 God's

00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:20.620
 word

00:12:20.620 --> 00:12:21.340
 in church

00:12:21.340 --> 00:12:21.580
 on a

00:12:21.580 --> 00:12:21.740
 Sunday

00:12:21.740 --> 00:12:22.120
 morning

00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:23.860
 or

00:12:23.860 --> 00:12:24.159
 sitting

00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:24.399
 down

00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:24.659
 in our

00:12:24.659 --> 00:12:24.820
 own

00:12:24.820 --> 00:12:25.220
 personal

00:12:25.220 --> 00:12:25.560
 time

00:12:25.560 --> 00:12:25.680
 with

00:12:25.680 --> 00:12:25.820
 the

00:12:25.820 --> 00:12:26.060
 Lord

00:12:26.060 --> 00:12:26.980
 with

00:12:26.980 --> 00:12:27.120
 his

00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:27.340
 word

00:12:27.340 --> 00:12:27.840
 open

00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:29.580
 or

00:12:29.580 --> 00:12:29.860
 opening

00:12:29.860 --> 00:12:30.139
 it up

00:12:30.139 --> 00:12:30.420
 with a

00:12:30.420 --> 00:12:30.920
 brother

00:12:30.920 --> 00:12:31.399
 or sister

00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:31.700
 during

00:12:31.700 --> 00:12:31.840
 the

00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:32.120
 week.

00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:34.519
 We

00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:35.240
 need

00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:36.080
 God's

00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:36.440
 spirit

00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:37.779
 to show

00:12:37.779 --> 00:12:38.240
 us

00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:38.960
 our

00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:39.379
 sin.

00:12:40.100 --> 00:12:40.480
 That

00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:40.600
 we

00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:40.759
 would

00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:41.060
 be

00:12:41.060 --> 00:12:42.080
 broken

00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:42.560
 hearted

00:12:42.560 --> 00:12:42.779
 at

00:12:42.779 --> 00:12:43.040
 it.

00:12:44.500 --> 00:12:45.159
 Repentance

00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:46.019
 begins

00:12:46.019 --> 00:12:46.860
 here.

00:12:48.180 --> 00:12:48.820
 But as

00:12:48.820 --> 00:12:49.200
 we read

00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:49.500
 on we

00:12:49.500 --> 00:12:49.899
 also

00:12:49.899 --> 00:12:51.080
 see that

00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:51.740
 repentance

00:12:51.740 --> 00:12:52.180
 involves

00:12:52.180 --> 00:12:52.759
 full

00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:53.399
 confession

00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:54.100
 of that

00:12:54.100 --> 00:12:54.399
 sin

00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:55.000
 to

00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:55.340
 God.

00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:55.580
 Read

00:12:55.580 --> 00:12:55.879
 on in

00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:56.379
 Ezra's

00:12:56.379 --> 00:12:56.820
 words

00:12:56.820 --> 00:12:57.220
 from

00:12:57.220 --> 00:12:57.800
 chapter

00:12:57.800 --> 00:12:58.040
 9

00:12:58.040 --> 00:12:58.360
 verse

00:12:58.360 --> 00:12:58.980
 5.

00:13:01.700 --> 00:13:02.379
 Then

00:13:02.379 --> 00:13:02.740
 at the

00:13:02.740 --> 00:13:02.980
 evening

00:13:02.980 --> 00:13:03.540
 sacrifice

00:13:03.540 --> 00:13:03.879
 I

00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:04.340
 rose

00:13:04.340 --> 00:13:04.540
 from

00:13:04.540 --> 00:13:04.940
 myself

00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:10.179
 With

00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:34.080
 because

00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:34.480
 of

00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:34.700
 our

 it

00:13:44.820 --> 00:13:45.259
 is

00:13:45.259 --> 00:13:45.899
 today.

00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:48.720
 One

00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:49.080
 thing to

00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:49.560
 notice

00:13:49.560 --> 00:13:51.460
 Ezra

00:13:51.460 --> 00:13:51.960
 didn't

00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:52.240
 marry

00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:52.620
 any

00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:53.419
 wife

00:13:53.419 --> 00:13:56.720
 but

00:13:56.720 --> 00:13:57.000
 he's

00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:57.299
 not

00:13:57.299 --> 00:13:57.639
 so

00:13:57.639 --> 00:13:58.120
 naive

00:13:58.120 --> 00:13:59.340
 as

00:13:59.340 --> 00:13:59.539
 to

00:13:59.539 --> 00:13:59.799
 think

00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:00.000
 that

00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:00.299
 everyone

00:14:00.299 --> 00:14:00.759
 else

00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:02.279

00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:02.500
 not

00:14:02.500 --> 00:14:02.879
 him.

00:14:05.439 --> 00:14:05.819
 He

00:14:05.819 --> 00:14:06.100
 says

00:14:06.100 --> 00:14:07.340
 our

00:14:07.340 --> 00:14:08.059
 sins

00:14:08.059 --> 00:14:09.179
 are

00:14:09.179 --> 00:14:09.460
 higher

00:14:09.460 --> 00:14:09.659
 than

00:14:09.659 --> 00:14:09.840
 our

00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:10.259
 heads.

00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:12.299
 How

00:14:12.299 --> 00:14:12.860
 easy

00:14:12.860 --> 00:14:13.120
 it

00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:13.659
 is

00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:15.539
 see

00:14:15.539 --> 00:14:15.799
 the

00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:16.159
 sin

00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:16.480
 of

00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:17.220
 others

00:14:17.220 --> 00:14:19.419
 and

00:14:19.419 --> 00:14:19.860
 ignore

00:14:19.860 --> 00:14:20.179
 that

00:14:20.179 --> 00:14:20.319
 in

 our

00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:20.700

00:14:23.939 --> 00:14:24.659
 In

 true

00:14:25.100 --> 00:14:25.679
 confession

00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:26.460
 we

00:14:26.460 --> 00:14:26.960
 take

00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:27.580
 ownership

00:14:27.580 --> 00:14:27.980
 for

00:14:27.980 --> 00:14:28.220
 our

00:14:28.220 --> 00:14:28.639
 own

00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:28.980
 sin.

00:14:29.100 --> 00:14:29.179
 We

00:14:29.179 --> 00:14:29.659
 confess

00:14:29.659 --> 00:14:29.960
 it

00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:30.120
 to

00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:30.500
 God

00:14:30.500 --> 00:14:30.700
 in

00:14:30.700 --> 00:14:31.080
 full

00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:31.600
 and

00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:32.080
 also

00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:33.179
 to

00:14:33.179 --> 00:14:33.379
 his

00:14:33.379 --> 00:14:33.899
 people

00:14:33.899 --> 00:14:34.539
 walking

00:14:34.539 --> 00:14:35.000
 alongside

00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:35.600
 us.

00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:37.200
 We

00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:37.399
 don't

00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:37.600
 make

00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:38.179
 excuses

00:14:38.179 --> 00:14:39.460
 or

00:14:39.460 --> 00:14:39.659
 point

00:14:39.659 --> 00:14:39.799
 the

00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:40.000

 someone

00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:40.840
 else.

00:14:42.179 --> 00:14:42.559
 And

00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:42.840
 as we

00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:43.039
 see

00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:43.379
 next

00:14:43.379 --> 00:14:43.679
 we

00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:43.840
 need

00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:43.960
 to

00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:44.419
 specifically

00:14:44.419 --> 00:14:45.019
 name

00:14:45.019 --> 00:14:45.659
 that

00:14:45.659 --> 00:14:45.980
 sin.

00:14:46.980 --> 00:14:47.139
 Read

00:14:47.139 --> 00:14:47.600
 on in

00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:47.779
 verse

00:14:47.779 --> 00:14:48.159
 8.

00:14:50.299 --> 00:14:51.000
 But

00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:51.399
 now

00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:52.179
 for a

00:14:52.179 --> 00:14:52.480
 brief

00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:52.980
 moment

00:14:52.980 --> 00:14:53.860
 the

00:14:53.860 --> 00:14:54.299
 Lord

00:14:54.299 --> 00:14:54.620
 our

00:14:54.620 --> 00:14:54.960
 God

00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:55.179
 has

00:14:55.179 --> 00:14:55.360
 been

00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:55.860
 gracious

00:14:55.860 --> 00:14:56.440
 in

00:14:56.440 --> 00:14:56.700
 leaving

00:14:56.700 --> 00:14:56.960
 us

00:14:56.960 --> 00:14:57.100
 a

00:14:57.100 --> 00:14:57.480
 remnant

00:14:57.480 --> 00:14:58.340
 and

00:14:58.340 --> 00:14:58.600
 giving

00:14:58.600 --> 00:14:58.980
 us a

00:14:58.980 --> 00:14:59.240
 firm

00:14:59.240 --> 00:14:59.779
 place

00:14:59.779 --> 00:15:00.159
 in

00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:00.319
 his

00:15:00.319 --> 00:15:00.779
 sanctuary.

00:15:01.659 --> 00:15:01.759
 And

00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:02.000
 so

00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:02.259
 our

00:15:02.259 --> 00:15:02.459
 God

00:15:02.459 --> 00:15:02.699
 gives

00:15:02.699 --> 00:15:03.019
 light

00:15:03.019 --> 00:15:03.220
 to

00:15:03.220 --> 00:15:03.379
 our

00:15:03.379 --> 00:15:03.740
 eyes

00:15:03.740 --> 00:15:04.059
 and

00:15:04.059 --> 00:15:04.179
 a

00:15:04.179 --> 00:15:04.319
 little

00:15:04.319 --> 00:15:04.779
 relief

00:15:04.779 --> 00:15:05.079
 in

00:15:05.079 --> 00:15:05.220
 our

00:15:05.220 --> 00:15:05.699
 bondage.

00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:06.399
 Though

00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:06.579
 we

00:15:06.579 --> 00:15:06.740
 are

00:15:06.740 --> 00:15:07.159
 slaves,

00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:07.539
 our

00:15:07.539 --> 00:15:07.740
 God

00:15:07.740 --> 00:15:08.100
 has not

00:15:08.100 --> 00:15:08.539
 forsaken

00:15:08.539 --> 00:15:08.860
 us

00:15:08.860 --> 00:15:09.179
 in

00:15:09.179 --> 00:15:09.319
 our

00:15:09.319 --> 00:15:09.740
 bondage.

00:15:09.740 --> 00:15:10.220
 He

00:15:10.220 --> 00:15:10.439
 shown

00:15:10.439 --> 00:15:11.039
 kindness

00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:11.659
 in

00:15:11.659 --> 00:15:11.799
 the

00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:12.039
 sight

00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:12.159
 of

00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:12.279
 the

00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:12.500
 kings

00:15:12.500 --> 00:15:12.679
 of

00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:13.079
 Persia.

00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:13.759
 He

00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:13.940
 has

00:15:13.940 --> 00:15:14.200
 granted

00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:14.460
 us

00:15:14.460 --> 00:15:15.020
 new

00:15:15.020 --> 00:15:15.580
 life

00:15:15.580 --> 00:15:16.080
 to

00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:16.560
 rebuild

00:15:16.560 --> 00:15:16.940
 the

00:15:16.940 --> 00:15:17.200
 house

00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:17.340
 of

00:15:17.340 --> 00:15:17.500
 our

00:15:17.500 --> 00:15:17.840
 God

00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:18.180
 and

00:15:18.180 --> 00:15:18.700
 repair

00:15:18.700 --> 00:15:18.980
 its

00:15:18.980 --> 00:15:19.340
 ruins

00:15:19.340 --> 00:15:19.759
 and

00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:19.900
 he

00:15:19.900 --> 00:15:20.040
 has

00:15:20.040 --> 00:15:20.200
 given

00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:20.360
 us

00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:20.580
 a

00:15:20.580 --> 00:15:21.060
 wall

00:15:21.060 --> 00:15:21.280
 of

00:15:21.280 --> 00:15:21.800
 protection

00:15:21.800 --> 00:15:22.540
 in

00:15:22.540 --> 00:15:22.900
 Judah

00:15:22.900 --> 00:15:23.560
 and

00:15:23.560 --> 00:15:24.080
 Jerusalem.

00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:26.120
 But

00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:26.879
 now

00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:27.259
 our

00:15:27.259 --> 00:15:27.860
 God

00:15:27.860 --> 00:15:28.780
 what

00:15:28.780 --> 00:15:29.120
 can

00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:29.300
 we

00:15:29.300 --> 00:15:29.780
 say

00:15:29.780 --> 00:15:30.160
 after

00:15:30.160 --> 00:15:30.660
 this?

00:15:32.040 --> 00:15:32.300
 For

00:15:32.300 --> 00:15:32.740
 we

00:15:32.740 --> 00:15:33.259
 have

00:15:33.259 --> 00:15:34.100
 forsaken

00:15:34.100 --> 00:15:34.840
 the

00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:35.360
 commands

00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:35.900
 you

00:15:35.900 --> 00:15:36.440
 gave

00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:37.420
 through

00:15:37.420 --> 00:15:38.100
 your

00:15:38.100 --> 00:15:38.740
 servants

00:15:38.740 --> 00:15:39.780
 the

00:15:39.780 --> 00:15:40.379
 prophets.

00:15:40.379 --> 00:15:41.240
 Ezra

00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:41.519
 goes

00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:41.779
 on

00:15:41.779 --> 00:15:41.939
 to

00:15:41.939 --> 00:15:42.320
 name

00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:43.320
 what

00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:43.539
 that

00:15:43.539 --> 00:15:43.799
 sin

00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:44.299
 was

00:15:44.299 --> 00:15:45.320
 intermarrying

00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:46.700
 with

00:15:46.700 --> 00:15:46.939
 other

00:15:46.939 --> 00:15:47.519
 nations.

00:15:48.620 --> 00:15:49.460
 Despite

00:15:49.460 --> 00:15:50.419
 God's

00:15:50.419 --> 00:15:51.120
 lavish

00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:51.679
 grace

00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:52.679
 and

00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:53.399
 protection

00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:53.960
 and

00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:54.419
 kindness

00:15:54.419 --> 00:15:54.820
 over

00:15:54.820 --> 00:15:55.080
 them

00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:56.179
 they've

00:15:56.179 --> 00:15:56.559
 basically

00:15:56.559 --> 00:15:57.000
 thrown

00:15:57.000 --> 00:15:57.360
 it back

00:15:57.360 --> 00:15:57.480
 in

00:15:57.480 --> 00:15:57.620
 his

00:15:57.620 --> 00:15:58.120
 face

00:15:58.120 --> 00:15:59.659
 in

00:15:59.659 --> 00:15:59.840
 this

00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:00.620
 intermarriage.

00:16:02.899 --> 00:16:03.759
 True

00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:04.399
 confession

00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:04.899
 is not

00:16:04.899 --> 00:16:05.379
 offering

00:16:05.379 --> 00:16:05.899
 a general

00:16:05.899 --> 00:16:06.580
 catch-all

00:16:06.580 --> 00:16:08.460
 Lord

00:16:08.460 --> 00:16:09.019
 I'm

00:16:09.019 --> 00:16:09.259
 sorry

00:16:09.259 --> 00:16:09.639
 for my

00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:10.100
 sins

00:16:10.100 --> 00:16:11.320
 at the

00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:11.420
 end

00:16:11.420 --> 00:16:11.519
 of

00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:11.580
 the

00:16:11.580 --> 00:16:11.759
 day.

00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:12.920
 It's

00:16:12.920 --> 00:16:13.540
 naming

00:16:13.540 --> 00:16:13.940
 those

00:16:13.940 --> 00:16:14.240
 sins

00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:14.440
 to

00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:14.580
 the

00:16:14.580 --> 00:16:14.800
 Lord

00:16:14.800 --> 00:16:15.120
 day

00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:15.360
 by

00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:15.800
 day.

00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:17.920
 And

00:16:17.920 --> 00:16:18.019
 it

00:16:18.019 --> 00:16:18.440
 also

00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:19.180
 involves

00:16:19.180 --> 00:16:20.899
 recognizing

00:16:20.899 --> 00:16:22.000
 the

00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:22.639
 consequences

00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:23.779
 of our

00:16:23.779 --> 00:16:24.019
 sin.

00:16:24.279 --> 00:16:24.680
 Read

00:16:24.680 --> 00:16:24.940
 on

00:16:24.940 --> 00:16:25.200
 from

00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:25.440
 verse

00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:25.980
 13.

00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:29.399
 Ezra

00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:29.680
 says

00:16:29.680 --> 00:16:30.340
 what

00:16:30.340 --> 00:16:30.500
 has

00:16:30.500 --> 00:16:30.759
 happened

00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:30.960
 to

00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:31.320
 us

00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:32.360
 is

00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:32.500
 a

00:16:32.500 --> 00:16:32.980
 result

00:16:32.980 --> 00:16:33.240
 of

00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:33.420
 our

00:16:33.420 --> 00:16:33.759
 evil

00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:34.220
 deeds

00:16:34.220 --> 00:16:35.019
 and

00:16:35.019 --> 00:16:35.200
 our

00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:35.700
 great

00:16:35.700 --> 00:16:36.139
 guilt

00:16:36.139 --> 00:16:37.460
 and

00:16:37.460 --> 00:16:37.759
 yet

00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:38.000
 our

00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:38.379
 God

00:16:38.379 --> 00:16:39.460
 you

00:16:39.460 --> 00:16:39.660
 have

00:16:39.660 --> 00:16:40.019
 punished

00:16:40.019 --> 00:16:40.360
 us

00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:41.040
 less

00:16:41.040 --> 00:16:41.280
 than

00:16:41.280 --> 00:16:41.460
 our

00:16:41.460 --> 00:16:41.720
 sins

00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:42.259
 deserved

00:16:42.259 --> 00:16:42.940
 and

00:16:42.940 --> 00:16:43.100
 have

00:16:43.100 --> 00:16:43.360
 given

00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:43.639
 us

00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:43.820
 a

00:16:43.820 --> 00:16:44.259
 remnant

00:16:44.259 --> 00:16:44.780
 like

00:16:44.780 --> 00:16:45.220
 this.

00:16:46.740 --> 00:16:47.240
 Shall

00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:47.440
 we

00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:47.680
 then

00:16:47.680 --> 00:16:48.139
 break

00:16:48.139 --> 00:16:48.340
 your

00:16:48.340 --> 00:16:48.700
 commands

00:16:48.700 --> 00:16:49.220
 again

00:16:49.220 --> 00:16:50.120
 and

00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:50.879
 intermarry

00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:51.340
 with the

00:16:51.340 --> 00:16:51.660
 peoples

00:16:51.660 --> 00:16:52.320
 who commit

00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:53.200
 such detestable

00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:53.780
 practices?

00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:55.660
 Would

00:16:55.660 --> 00:16:55.960
 you not

00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:56.480
 be angry

00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:57.139
 enough

00:16:57.139 --> 00:16:57.500
 with us

00:16:57.500 --> 00:16:58.280
 to destroy

00:16:58.280 --> 00:16:58.820
 us

00:16:58.820 --> 00:17:00.379
 leaving

00:17:00.379 --> 00:17:00.600
 us

00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:01.080
 no

00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:01.820
 remnant

00:17:01.820 --> 00:17:02.040
 or

00:17:02.040 --> 00:17:02.580
 survivor?

00:17:04.059 --> 00:17:04.600
 Ezra

00:17:04.600 --> 00:17:04.940
 knew

00:17:04.940 --> 00:17:06.340
 being

00:17:06.340 --> 00:17:06.700
 exiled

00:17:06.700 --> 00:17:06.900
 to

00:17:06.900 --> 00:17:07.240
 Babylon

00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:07.480
 was

00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:07.620
 the

00:17:07.620 --> 00:17:07.860
 least

00:17:07.860 --> 00:17:08.000
 of

00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:08.160
 their

00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:08.680
 worries.

00:17:10.180 --> 00:17:10.420
 He

00:17:10.420 --> 00:17:10.900
 recognized

00:17:10.900 --> 00:17:11.200
 God

00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:11.360
 had

00:17:11.360 --> 00:17:11.820
 every

00:17:11.820 --> 00:17:12.080
 right

00:17:12.080 --> 00:17:12.220
 to

00:17:12.220 --> 00:17:13.039
 destroy

00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:13.759
 his

00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:14.299
 people

00:17:14.299 --> 00:17:15.799
 because

00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:16.840
 of

00:17:16.840 --> 00:17:17.019
 their

00:17:17.019 --> 00:17:18.160
 horrendous

00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:18.820
 unfaithfulness.

00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:22.680
 That

00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:22.980
 is the

00:17:22.980 --> 00:17:23.480
 deserved

00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:24.080
 consequence

00:17:24.080 --> 00:17:24.500
 of our

00:17:24.500 --> 00:17:24.900
 rebellion.

00:17:26.120 --> 00:17:26.400
 It's

00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:26.860
 death.

00:17:28.700 --> 00:17:29.460
 But

00:17:29.460 --> 00:17:30.039
 even worse

00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:30.559
 than that,

00:17:32.259 --> 00:17:32.860
 our sin

00:17:32.859 --> 00:17:34.139
 means that

00:17:34.139 --> 00:17:35.279
 we must

00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:36.059
 be separate

00:17:36.059 --> 00:17:37.259
 from God

00:17:37.259 --> 00:17:38.379
 forever.

00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:39.199
 Look,

00:17:40.439 --> 00:17:42.439
 I grew

00:17:42.439 --> 00:17:42.819
 up on a

00:17:42.819 --> 00:17:43.039
 farm.

00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:44.799
 Some

00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:45.659
 wet,

00:17:45.979 --> 00:17:46.240
 dreary

00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:46.779
 days in

00:17:46.779 --> 00:17:47.139
 the depths

00:17:47.139 --> 00:17:47.599
 of winter

00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:48.219
 convinced me

00:17:48.219 --> 00:17:48.500
 that I

00:17:48.500 --> 00:17:48.959
 wasn't cut

00:17:48.959 --> 00:17:49.240
 out for

00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:49.619
 the farming

00:17:49.619 --> 00:17:50.139
 business.

00:17:51.219 --> 00:17:51.779
 Scraping

00:17:51.779 --> 00:17:52.240
 out cow

00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:52.479
 muck

00:17:52.479 --> 00:17:53.139
 from the

00:17:53.139 --> 00:17:53.500
 stalls,

00:17:54.979 --> 00:17:55.319
 slipping

00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:56.139
 and sliding

00:17:56.139 --> 00:17:56.619
 down a

00:17:56.619 --> 00:17:57.419
 rain-soaked

00:17:57.419 --> 00:17:57.799
 mountain,

00:17:58.000 --> 00:17:58.319
 chasing

00:17:58.319 --> 00:17:59.319
 after cows

00:17:59.319 --> 00:17:59.539
 we were

00:17:59.539 --> 00:17:59.859
 never going

00:17:59.859 --> 00:18:00.179
 to catch

00:18:00.179 --> 00:18:00.500
 anyway,

00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:02.319
 losing

00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:02.899
 your boot

00:18:02.899 --> 00:18:03.299
 in a

00:18:03.299 --> 00:18:03.439
 mud

00:18:03.439 --> 00:18:03.779
 bath.

00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:05.059
 Now,

00:18:05.099 --> 00:18:05.460
 my mom

00:18:05.460 --> 00:18:05.799
 would keep

00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:06.159
 a clean

00:18:06.159 --> 00:18:06.599
 house.

00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:08.379
 She would

00:18:08.379 --> 00:18:08.779
 mop the

00:18:08.779 --> 00:18:09.279
 floors every

00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:09.599
 Saturday

00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:09.899
 night.

00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:10.299
 She would

00:18:10.299 --> 00:18:10.619
 hoover.

00:18:11.899 --> 00:18:12.279
 It was

00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:12.799
 always looking

00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:13.220
 great.

00:18:14.399 --> 00:18:14.879
 Some

00:18:14.879 --> 00:18:15.439
 days,

00:18:15.740 --> 00:18:16.039
 you'd

00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:16.799
 arrive back

00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:17.079
 to the

00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:18.000
 house filthy

00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:18.779
 from head

00:18:18.779 --> 00:18:19.359
 to toe

00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:20.819
 and stinking

00:18:20.819 --> 00:18:21.859
 of farm.

00:18:23.919 --> 00:18:24.279
 And I

00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:24.799
 would stand

00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:25.519
 there thinking

00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:25.980
 at the

00:18:25.980 --> 00:18:26.419
 back door,

00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:29.700
 there's no

00:18:29.700 --> 00:18:31.059
 way I

00:18:31.059 --> 00:18:31.559
 can enter

00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:31.899
 in this

00:18:31.899 --> 00:18:32.259
 state.

00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:33.500
 There's

00:18:33.500 --> 00:18:33.919
 just no

00:18:33.919 --> 00:18:34.220
 way.

00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:38.200
 Likewise,

00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:39.819
 Ezra cries

00:18:39.819 --> 00:18:40.179
 out in

00:18:40.179 --> 00:18:40.939
 verse 15.

00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:41.399
 See what

00:18:41.399 --> 00:18:41.859
 he says,

00:18:42.299 --> 00:18:42.679
 Lord,

00:18:43.579 --> 00:18:44.099
 the God

00:18:44.099 --> 00:18:44.539
 of Israel,

00:18:44.899 --> 00:18:45.579
 you are

00:18:45.579 --> 00:18:46.039
 righteous.

00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:48.399
 We are

00:18:48.399 --> 00:18:48.859
 left this

00:18:48.859 --> 00:18:49.299
 day as a

00:18:49.299 --> 00:18:49.659
 remnant.

00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:50.720
 Here we

00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:51.319
 are before

00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:51.859
 you in

00:18:51.859 --> 00:18:52.419
 our guilt,

00:18:52.679 --> 00:18:53.279
 though because

00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:53.579
 of it,

00:18:53.779 --> 00:18:54.700
 not one

00:18:54.700 --> 00:18:55.339
 of us

00:18:55.339 --> 00:18:56.720
 can stand

00:18:56.720 --> 00:18:57.779
 in your

00:18:57.779 --> 00:18:58.379
 presence.

00:19:00.899 --> 00:19:01.439
 True

00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:02.000
 confession

00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:02.700
 acknowledges

00:19:02.700 --> 00:19:03.220
 that left

00:19:03.220 --> 00:19:03.400
 to

00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:03.840
 ourselves

00:19:03.840 --> 00:19:04.180
 the

00:19:04.180 --> 00:19:04.759
 filth

00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:05.180
 of our

00:19:05.180 --> 00:19:05.759
 sin

00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:07.120
 separates

00:19:07.120 --> 00:19:08.340
 us from

00:19:08.340 --> 00:19:08.860
 the perfect

00:19:08.860 --> 00:19:09.759
 holiness of

00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:09.980
 God.

00:19:09.980 --> 00:19:10.920
 We can't

00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:12.480
 stand in

00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:13.240
 his presence

00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:14.240
 with our

00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:14.539
 guilt.

00:19:14.539 --> 00:19:14.680
 repentance.

00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:20.859
 But repentance

00:19:20.859 --> 00:19:21.759
 involves more

00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:22.319
 than just

00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:24.299
 brokenheartedness

00:19:24.299 --> 00:19:25.279
 at our

00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:26.960
 sin and

00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:27.220
 full

00:19:27.220 --> 00:19:27.799
 confession

00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:29.299
 of it.

00:19:29.299 --> 00:19:29.419
 sin.

00:19:30.619 --> 00:19:31.480
 We're also

00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:31.740
 going to

00:19:31.740 --> 00:19:33.419
 see repentance

00:19:33.419 --> 00:19:35.480
 means turning

00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:36.299
 away from

00:19:36.299 --> 00:19:36.759
 that sin.

00:19:39.779 --> 00:19:40.440
 Bringing

00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:41.000
 our lives

00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:41.619
 back in

00:19:41.619 --> 00:19:42.859
 line with

00:19:42.859 --> 00:19:43.240
 God's

00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:43.559
 word.

00:19:44.819 --> 00:19:45.200
 Look what

00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:45.799
 happens next

00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:46.079
 in the

00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:46.440
 story.

00:19:47.220 --> 00:19:47.480
 Chapter

00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:47.919
 10,

00:19:48.700 --> 00:19:49.480
 verse 2.

00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:53.039
 Then

00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:53.680
 Shekaniah,

00:19:53.779 --> 00:19:54.139
 son of

00:19:54.139 --> 00:19:54.539
 Jehiel,

00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:55.500
 one of the

00:19:55.500 --> 00:19:56.399
 descendants of

00:19:56.399 --> 00:19:56.700
 Elam,

00:19:56.819 --> 00:19:57.240
 said to

00:19:57.240 --> 00:19:57.579
 Ezra,

00:19:57.579 --> 00:20:00.519
 we have

00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:01.659
 been unfaithful

00:20:01.659 --> 00:20:02.039
 to our

00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:03.199
 God by

00:20:03.199 --> 00:20:03.720
 marrying

00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:04.240
 foreign

00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:05.039
 women from

00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:05.539
 the peoples

00:20:05.539 --> 00:20:06.240
 around us.

00:20:07.419 --> 00:20:08.059
 But in

00:20:08.059 --> 00:20:08.519
 spite of

00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:08.879
 this,

00:20:09.439 --> 00:20:10.019
 there is

00:20:10.019 --> 00:20:10.599
 still hope

00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:11.179
 for Israel.

00:20:12.579 --> 00:20:13.220
 Now,

00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:13.799
 let us

00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:14.159
 make a

00:20:14.159 --> 00:20:14.579
 covenant

00:20:14.579 --> 00:20:15.500
 before our

00:20:15.500 --> 00:20:15.879
 God to

00:20:15.879 --> 00:20:16.960
 send away

00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:17.679
 all these

00:20:17.679 --> 00:20:18.559
 women and

00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:19.240
 their children

00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:20.059
 in accordance

00:20:20.059 --> 00:20:20.480
 with the

00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:21.299
 counsel of

00:20:21.299 --> 00:20:21.740
 my Lord

00:20:21.740 --> 00:20:22.419
 and of

00:20:22.419 --> 00:20:22.899
 those who

00:20:22.899 --> 00:20:23.460
 fear the

00:20:23.460 --> 00:20:23.899
 commands

00:20:23.899 --> 00:20:24.500
 of our

00:20:24.500 --> 00:20:24.779
 God.

00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:25.480
 Let it

00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:26.199
 be done

00:20:26.199 --> 00:20:27.259
 according

00:20:27.259 --> 00:20:28.579
 to the

00:20:28.579 --> 00:20:29.039
 law.

00:20:32.980 --> 00:20:33.700
 Shekaniah

00:20:33.700 --> 00:20:35.460
 knew that

00:20:35.460 --> 00:20:36.359
 their repentance

00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:37.740
 was not

00:20:37.740 --> 00:20:38.240
 genuine

00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:39.920
 until they

00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:40.619
 had practically

00:20:40.619 --> 00:20:41.359
 done something

00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:41.920
 about it,

00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:43.640
 until they

00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:44.039
 had actually

00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:45.039
 turned away

00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:47.319
 from their

00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:47.720
 sin.

00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:50.079
 And to

00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:50.680
 do that,

00:20:51.059 --> 00:20:52.200
 they would

00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:52.640
 have to

00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:53.660
 send away

00:20:53.660 --> 00:20:55.200
 these women

00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:56.140
 with their

00:20:56.140 --> 00:20:57.400
 detestable

00:20:57.400 --> 00:20:58.019
 practices

00:20:58.019 --> 00:20:59.299
 and idol

00:20:59.299 --> 00:20:59.960
 worship.

00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:02.480
 And you

00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:02.980
 can bet

00:21:02.980 --> 00:21:03.480
 that was an

00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:04.880
 excruciatingly

00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:05.340
 hard thing

00:21:05.340 --> 00:21:05.740
 to do.

00:21:08.860 --> 00:21:09.720
 But for

00:21:09.720 --> 00:21:10.519
 God's people

00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:11.259
 at that

00:21:11.259 --> 00:21:11.819
 time,

00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:13.740
 that was

00:21:13.740 --> 00:21:14.100
 what was

00:21:14.100 --> 00:21:14.580
 required,

00:21:15.580 --> 00:21:16.840
 which says

00:21:16.840 --> 00:21:17.600
 to us,

00:21:18.600 --> 00:21:19.620
 letting go

00:21:19.620 --> 00:21:20.400
 of the sin

00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:21.000
 that we

00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:21.600
 cherish

00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:23.000
 is going

00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:24.419
 to hurt

00:21:24.419 --> 00:21:25.879
 in the

00:21:25.879 --> 00:21:26.419
 short term.

00:21:29.219 --> 00:21:29.939
 But we

00:21:29.939 --> 00:21:30.599
 cannot afford

00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:31.000
 to hold

00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:31.539
 on to it.

00:21:34.379 --> 00:21:35.279
 The question

00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:35.779
 we all need

00:21:35.779 --> 00:21:36.199
 to ask

00:21:36.199 --> 00:21:36.599
 ourselves

00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:36.919
 is,

00:21:37.919 --> 00:21:40.000
 what sin

00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:40.399
 have I

00:21:40.399 --> 00:21:41.059
 failed to

00:21:41.059 --> 00:21:41.519
 turn away

00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:41.839
 from?

00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:41.879
 sin.

00:21:46.500 --> 00:21:47.099
 It's not

00:21:47.099 --> 00:21:47.399
 at all

00:21:47.399 --> 00:21:47.659
 that we

00:21:47.659 --> 00:21:47.839
 should

00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:48.220
 expect

00:21:48.220 --> 00:21:48.659
 to turn

00:21:48.659 --> 00:21:48.939
 away

00:21:48.939 --> 00:21:50.059
 from sin

00:21:50.059 --> 00:21:50.359
 in our

00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:51.099
 own strength

00:21:51.099 --> 00:21:51.480
 just by

00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:52.379
 trying harder

00:21:52.379 --> 00:21:52.859
 or something

00:21:52.859 --> 00:21:53.199
 like that.

00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:53.599
 God has

00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:54.000
 given us

00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:55.039
 his spirit

00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:56.919
 and other

00:21:56.919 --> 00:21:58.139
 means to

00:21:58.139 --> 00:21:58.639
 help us

00:21:58.639 --> 00:22:00.279
 fight sin.

00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:01.459
 Here's one

00:22:01.459 --> 00:22:02.039
 such mean

00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:03.019
 in verse

00:22:03.019 --> 00:22:03.759
 7,

00:22:03.959 --> 00:22:04.419
 chapter 10,

00:22:04.459 --> 00:22:05.000
 verse 7.

00:22:06.740 --> 00:22:06.980
 A

00:22:06.980 --> 00:22:07.480
 proclamation

00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:08.399
 was then

00:22:08.399 --> 00:22:08.740
 issued

00:22:08.740 --> 00:22:09.159
 throughout

00:22:09.159 --> 00:22:09.639
 Judah

00:22:09.639 --> 00:22:10.399
 and

00:22:10.399 --> 00:22:10.899
 Jerusalem

00:22:10.900 --> 00:22:12.500
 for all

00:22:12.500 --> 00:22:13.300
 the exiles

00:22:13.300 --> 00:22:14.140
 to assemble

00:22:14.140 --> 00:22:16.000
 in Jerusalem.

00:22:16.160 --> 00:22:16.780
 So if you

00:22:16.780 --> 00:22:17.280
 read on

00:22:17.280 --> 00:22:17.840
 you'll see

00:22:17.840 --> 00:22:18.820
 how they

00:22:18.820 --> 00:22:19.660
 dealt with

00:22:19.660 --> 00:22:20.280
 the sin

00:22:20.280 --> 00:22:21.400
 in community.

00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:23.220
 No keeping

00:22:23.220 --> 00:22:23.620
 it private.

00:22:25.180 --> 00:22:26.180
 They brought

00:22:26.180 --> 00:22:26.620
 their sin

00:22:26.620 --> 00:22:27.000
 out into

00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:27.440
 the open

00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:29.340
 and seeking

00:22:29.340 --> 00:22:29.940
 accountability

00:22:29.940 --> 00:22:30.759
 with each

00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:31.080
 other

00:22:31.080 --> 00:22:32.980
 and seeking

00:22:32.980 --> 00:22:33.280
 to do

00:22:33.280 --> 00:22:33.840
 everything

00:22:33.840 --> 00:22:34.320
 in accordance

00:22:34.320 --> 00:22:34.740
 with what

00:22:34.740 --> 00:22:35.840
 God said,

00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:38.380
 their sin

00:22:38.380 --> 00:22:38.880
 was dealt

00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:39.759
 with effectively

00:22:39.759 --> 00:22:41.220
 and swiftly.

00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:44.240
 Now maybe

00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:44.839
 that frightens

00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:45.259
 you a bit.

00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:47.619
 It does

00:22:47.619 --> 00:22:47.819
 me,

00:22:47.900 --> 00:22:48.160
 I'm not

00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:48.400
 going to

00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:48.619
 lie.

00:22:49.539 --> 00:22:50.339
 We tend

00:22:50.339 --> 00:22:51.319
 to treat

00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:52.160
 sin as a

00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:52.779
 really

00:22:52.779 --> 00:22:53.759
 private

00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:54.680
 thing,

00:22:55.539 --> 00:22:57.039
 just between

00:22:57.039 --> 00:22:57.379
 me and

00:22:57.379 --> 00:22:57.700
 God.

00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:00.599
 We think,

00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:01.519
 oh,

00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:01.960
 I'd be too

00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:02.460
 ashamed

00:23:02.460 --> 00:23:05.140
 if they

00:23:05.140 --> 00:23:05.700
 knew that

00:23:05.700 --> 00:23:05.880
 I

00:23:05.880 --> 00:23:06.200
 struggled

00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:06.380
 with

00:23:06.380 --> 00:23:06.779
 that.

00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:11.240
 So we

00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:11.539
 can tend

00:23:11.539 --> 00:23:11.920
 to turn

00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:12.220
 up at

00:23:12.220 --> 00:23:12.680
 church

00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:13.299
 as if

00:23:13.299 --> 00:23:13.700
 everything's

00:23:13.700 --> 00:23:14.079
 fine

00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:16.900
 and we

00:23:16.900 --> 00:23:17.620
 struggle on

00:23:17.620 --> 00:23:19.319
 on our

00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:19.620
 own.

00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:22.480
 That's

00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:22.960
 not what

00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:23.279
 God

00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:23.720
 intends

00:23:23.720 --> 00:23:24.200
 the church

00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:24.680
 to be.

00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:27.660
 this is

00:23:27.660 --> 00:23:28.340
 not a

00:23:28.340 --> 00:23:28.860
 museum

00:23:28.860 --> 00:23:29.519
 for

00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:30.440
 perfected

00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:31.220
 saints

00:23:31.220 --> 00:23:32.400
 where we

00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:33.200
 all put

00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:33.680
 our perfect

00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:34.320
 lives on

00:23:34.320 --> 00:23:34.880
 display on

00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:35.299
 a Sunday.

00:23:38.580 --> 00:23:39.160
 No,

00:23:39.240 --> 00:23:39.600
 church is

00:23:39.600 --> 00:23:40.660
 more like

00:23:40.660 --> 00:23:41.940
 a

00:23:41.940 --> 00:23:42.740
 rehabilitation

00:23:42.740 --> 00:23:43.720
 facility

00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:45.680
 for sinners

00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:48.320
 where real

00:23:48.320 --> 00:23:49.740
 mercy flows

00:23:49.740 --> 00:23:50.640
 from God

00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:52.400
 through us

00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:53.180
 to one

00:23:53.180 --> 00:23:53.519
 another.

00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:55.220
 where we

00:23:55.220 --> 00:23:56.000
 can confess

00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:57.019
 our sin

00:23:57.019 --> 00:23:58.200
 openly

00:23:58.200 --> 00:24:01.160
 and find

00:24:01.160 --> 00:24:01.740
 accountability

00:24:01.740 --> 00:24:03.299
 in one

00:24:03.299 --> 00:24:03.720
 another.

00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:05.099
 Brothers and

00:24:05.099 --> 00:24:05.480
 sisters who

00:24:05.480 --> 00:24:06.000
 will pray

00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:06.799
 for us

00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:08.339
 and walk

00:24:08.339 --> 00:24:09.119
 with us

00:24:09.119 --> 00:24:10.940
 and help

00:24:10.940 --> 00:24:11.500
 us to

00:24:11.500 --> 00:24:12.319
 turn away

00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:13.559
 from that

00:24:13.559 --> 00:24:13.879
 sin.

00:24:13.980 --> 00:24:14.299
 That is

00:24:14.299 --> 00:24:14.680
 God's

00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:15.740
 design for

00:24:15.740 --> 00:24:15.960
 us,

00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:16.240
 that we

00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:16.819
 would help

00:24:16.819 --> 00:24:17.359
 each other

00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:18.099
 to maturity

00:24:18.099 --> 00:24:18.920
 in Christ.

00:24:20.920 --> 00:24:21.720
 So we

00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:22.299
 need to ask

00:24:22.299 --> 00:24:22.980
 ourselves,

00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:25.920
 is there

00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:27.940
 someone in

00:24:27.940 --> 00:24:28.299
 the body

00:24:28.299 --> 00:24:28.740
 of Christ

00:24:28.740 --> 00:24:30.980
 here that

00:24:30.980 --> 00:24:32.500
 I am

00:24:32.500 --> 00:24:33.240
 open with

00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:33.839
 about my

00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:34.180
 sin?

00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:37.480
 Is there

00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:38.099
 someone who's

00:24:38.099 --> 00:24:38.720
 praying for

00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:41.200
 me with

00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:41.720
 the sin I'm

00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:42.259
 struggling with

00:24:42.259 --> 00:24:42.720
 right now?

00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:46.680
 accountability

00:24:46.680 --> 00:24:47.740
 is God's

00:24:47.740 --> 00:24:48.339
 gift to

00:24:48.339 --> 00:24:49.700
 us to

00:24:49.700 --> 00:24:50.339
 help us

00:24:50.339 --> 00:24:51.360
 turn away

00:24:51.360 --> 00:24:51.980
 from sin.

00:24:57.380 --> 00:24:58.299
 So true

00:24:58.299 --> 00:24:58.799
 repentance,

00:24:59.539 --> 00:25:00.700
 we've learned

00:25:00.700 --> 00:25:00.980
 it's three

00:25:00.980 --> 00:25:01.339
 things,

00:25:01.400 --> 00:25:01.839
 it's broken

00:25:01.839 --> 00:25:02.460
 heartedness

00:25:02.460 --> 00:25:02.740
 at our

00:25:02.740 --> 00:25:02.960
 sin,

00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:04.460
 it's

00:25:04.460 --> 00:25:04.980
 confessing

00:25:04.980 --> 00:25:05.279
 it in

00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:05.559
 full,

00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:07.660
 and it's

00:25:07.660 --> 00:25:08.180
 turning away

00:25:08.180 --> 00:25:08.700
 from it.

00:25:08.700 --> 00:25:12.100
 now our

00:25:12.100 --> 00:25:12.620
 question at

00:25:12.620 --> 00:25:13.160
 the start

00:25:13.160 --> 00:25:13.759
 was how

00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:14.160
 can a

00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:14.740
 treacherously

00:25:14.740 --> 00:25:15.559
 unfaithful

00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:16.519
 people remain

00:25:16.519 --> 00:25:18.460
 with a

00:25:18.460 --> 00:25:18.819
 faithful

00:25:18.819 --> 00:25:19.400
 God?

00:25:23.100 --> 00:25:23.860
 And we

00:25:23.860 --> 00:25:24.299
 see in

00:25:24.299 --> 00:25:24.779
 this text

00:25:24.779 --> 00:25:25.259
 that actually

00:25:25.259 --> 00:25:25.860
 repentance

00:25:25.860 --> 00:25:26.799
 alone,

00:25:27.299 --> 00:25:27.759
 just saying

00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:28.440
 sorry for

00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:28.759
 our sin

00:25:28.759 --> 00:25:29.140
 and meaning

00:25:29.140 --> 00:25:29.460
 it,

00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:30.259
 and turning

00:25:30.259 --> 00:25:30.759
 away from

00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:30.880
 it,

00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:31.740
 that actually

00:25:31.740 --> 00:25:32.240
 isn't

00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:32.819
 enough.

00:25:32.819 --> 00:25:36.819
 In

00:25:36.819 --> 00:25:37.319
 chapter 10

00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:37.619
 and verse

00:25:37.619 --> 00:25:38.279
 14,

00:25:38.879 --> 00:25:39.480
 the Israelites

00:25:39.480 --> 00:25:40.460
 know that

00:25:40.460 --> 00:25:41.740
 the fierce

00:25:41.740 --> 00:25:42.439
 anger of

00:25:42.439 --> 00:25:42.960
 their God

00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:43.579
 needs to

00:25:43.579 --> 00:25:44.359
 be turned

00:25:44.359 --> 00:25:46.059
 away from

00:25:46.059 --> 00:25:46.419
 them.

00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:47.679
 And God

00:25:47.679 --> 00:25:48.359
 is right

00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:48.759
 to be

00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:49.339
 filled with

00:25:49.339 --> 00:25:50.720
 this holy

00:25:50.720 --> 00:25:51.639
 jealous

00:25:51.639 --> 00:25:52.759
 anger at

00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:53.179
 our

00:25:53.179 --> 00:25:54.159
 unfaithfulness.

00:25:55.539 --> 00:25:56.319
 We have

00:25:56.319 --> 00:25:56.859
 defied

00:25:56.859 --> 00:25:58.299
 his perfect

00:25:58.299 --> 00:25:58.759
 character,

00:25:58.899 --> 00:25:59.200
 we have

00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:00.179
 disrupted

00:26:00.179 --> 00:26:01.019
 our relationship

00:26:01.019 --> 00:26:01.460
 with him,

00:26:01.460 --> 00:26:02.759
 we have

00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:03.319
 defaced

00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:03.920
 ourselves

00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:04.319
 as his

00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:04.620
 image

00:26:04.620 --> 00:26:05.079
 bearers.

00:26:06.120 --> 00:26:07.360
 We can't

00:26:07.360 --> 00:26:07.819
 just say

00:26:07.819 --> 00:26:10.059
 sorry and

00:26:10.059 --> 00:26:10.460
 he just

00:26:10.460 --> 00:26:11.180
 overlook it.

00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:13.220
 God

00:26:13.220 --> 00:26:14.400
 must punish

00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:15.039
 sin if

00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:15.400
 he is to

00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:15.900
 be just.

00:26:18.140 --> 00:26:18.980
 And the

00:26:18.980 --> 00:26:19.940
 people realized

00:26:19.940 --> 00:26:20.600
 the just

00:26:20.600 --> 00:26:21.340
 punishment of

00:26:21.340 --> 00:26:21.779
 sin was

00:26:21.779 --> 00:26:23.140
 death and

00:26:23.140 --> 00:26:23.700
 separation

00:26:23.700 --> 00:26:24.860
 from God.

00:26:26.180 --> 00:26:27.120
 And this

00:26:27.120 --> 00:26:27.420
 is where

00:26:27.420 --> 00:26:28.059
 faith comes

00:26:28.059 --> 00:26:28.319
 in.

00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:30.579
 The people

00:26:30.579 --> 00:26:32.220
 had faith

00:26:32.220 --> 00:26:34.240
 that God

00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:35.059
 would show

00:26:35.059 --> 00:26:36.119
 mercy to

00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:37.439
 them on

00:26:37.439 --> 00:26:38.059
 the basis

00:26:38.059 --> 00:26:39.519
 of a

00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:40.019
 sacrifice

00:26:40.019 --> 00:26:40.919
 being made.

00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:41.960
 Look with

00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:42.279
 me.

00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:43.399
 Chapter 10

00:26:43.399 --> 00:26:44.119
 verse 19.

00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:49.799
 It says,

00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:50.779
 they all

00:26:50.779 --> 00:26:51.339
 gave their

00:26:51.339 --> 00:26:52.119
 hands in

00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:53.159
 pledge to

00:26:53.159 --> 00:26:53.680
 put away

00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:54.480
 their wives

00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:56.899
 and for

00:26:56.899 --> 00:26:57.899
 their guilt

00:26:57.899 --> 00:26:59.240
 they each

00:26:59.240 --> 00:27:00.099
 presented a

00:27:00.099 --> 00:27:01.000
 ram from

00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:01.639
 the flock

00:27:01.639 --> 00:27:02.559
 as a

00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:02.940
 guilt

00:27:02.940 --> 00:27:03.839
 offering.

00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:04.779
 They had

00:27:04.779 --> 00:27:06.519
 faith that

00:27:06.519 --> 00:27:07.159
 God would

00:27:07.159 --> 00:27:08.059
 show mercy

00:27:08.059 --> 00:27:08.980
 on the

00:27:08.980 --> 00:27:10.960
 basis of

00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:11.500
 the blood

00:27:11.500 --> 00:27:11.879
 of this

00:27:11.879 --> 00:27:13.079
 animal being

00:27:13.079 --> 00:27:14.299
 poured out.

00:27:14.539 --> 00:27:14.839
 On the

00:27:14.839 --> 00:27:15.319
 basis of

00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:16.559
 this sacrifice

00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:18.440
 being made.

00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:19.559
 Now,

00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:20.700
 Hebrews 9.22

00:27:20.700 --> 00:27:21.299
 says this,

00:27:21.840 --> 00:27:23.220
 without the

00:27:23.220 --> 00:27:23.700
 shedding of

00:27:23.700 --> 00:27:24.019
 blood,

00:27:24.460 --> 00:27:25.000
 there is

00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:25.680
 no

00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:26.180
 forgiveness.

00:27:29.620 --> 00:27:30.460
 I want

00:27:30.460 --> 00:27:30.820
 you please

00:27:30.820 --> 00:27:31.299
 to turn

00:27:31.299 --> 00:27:32.539
 to Hebrews

00:27:32.539 --> 00:27:33.259
 chapter 10

00:27:33.259 --> 00:27:33.880
 as we think

00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:34.539
 about this

00:27:34.539 --> 00:27:36.180
 and as we

00:27:36.180 --> 00:27:37.120
 finish today.

00:27:39.380 --> 00:27:40.100
 Hebrews

00:27:40.100 --> 00:27:42.000
 chapter 10.

00:27:42.080 --> 00:27:42.279
 It's on

00:27:42.279 --> 00:27:42.519
 page

00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:44.960
 1208.

00:27:44.960 --> 00:28:05.680
 in the

00:28:05.680 --> 00:28:06.380
 Old Testament

00:28:06.380 --> 00:28:06.860
 law,

00:28:06.980 --> 00:28:07.420
 God had

00:28:07.420 --> 00:28:08.220
 graciously made

00:28:08.220 --> 00:28:09.220
 a way for

00:28:09.220 --> 00:28:09.840
 the Israelites

00:28:09.840 --> 00:28:10.680
 to be forgiven

00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:11.460
 of their sin

00:28:11.460 --> 00:28:13.120
 by presenting

00:28:13.120 --> 00:28:14.460
 an innocent

00:28:14.460 --> 00:28:15.160
 animal for

00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:15.840
 sacrifice.

00:28:17.819 --> 00:28:18.299
 Now,

00:28:18.340 --> 00:28:18.720
 the question

00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:18.980
 was,

00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:19.420
 could the

00:28:19.420 --> 00:28:19.940
 blood of

00:28:19.940 --> 00:28:20.640
 that animal

00:28:20.640 --> 00:28:22.779
 ever really

00:28:22.779 --> 00:28:23.920
 atone for

00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:24.660
 the people's

00:28:24.660 --> 00:28:24.960
 sins?

00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:25.160
 Well,

00:28:25.180 --> 00:28:25.700
 the writer of

00:28:25.700 --> 00:28:26.380
 Hebrews gives

00:28:26.380 --> 00:28:27.259
 us the answer.

00:28:27.380 --> 00:28:27.640
 Read from

00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:28.200
 verse 1.

00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:30.500
 He says,

00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:31.299
 the law is

00:28:31.299 --> 00:28:32.200
 only a shadow

00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:33.220
 of the good

00:28:33.220 --> 00:28:33.740
 things that are

00:28:33.740 --> 00:28:34.079
 coming,

00:28:34.420 --> 00:28:34.840
 not the

00:28:34.840 --> 00:28:35.240
 realities

00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:35.860
 themselves.

00:28:37.140 --> 00:28:37.680
 For this

00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:38.000
 reason,

00:28:38.059 --> 00:28:38.579
 it can never,

00:28:38.900 --> 00:28:39.900
 by the same

00:28:39.900 --> 00:28:41.140
 sacrifices,

00:28:41.980 --> 00:28:42.460
 repeated

00:28:42.460 --> 00:28:43.120
 endlessly

00:28:43.120 --> 00:28:44.019
 year after

00:28:44.019 --> 00:28:44.440
 year,

00:28:45.300 --> 00:28:46.360
 make perfect

00:28:46.360 --> 00:28:48.080
 those who

00:28:48.080 --> 00:28:48.840
 draw near

00:28:48.840 --> 00:28:49.460
 to worship.

00:28:51.340 --> 00:28:51.980
 Otherwise,

00:28:53.019 --> 00:28:53.620
 would they

00:28:53.620 --> 00:28:53.960
 not have

00:28:53.960 --> 00:28:54.519
 stopped being

00:28:54.519 --> 00:28:54.880
 offered?

00:28:56.680 --> 00:28:57.500
 For the

00:28:57.500 --> 00:28:58.100
 worshippers

00:28:58.100 --> 00:28:59.100
 would have

00:28:59.100 --> 00:28:59.720
 been cleansed

00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:00.160
 once for

00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:00.800
 all and

00:29:00.800 --> 00:29:01.120
 would no

00:29:01.120 --> 00:29:01.580
 longer have

00:29:01.580 --> 00:29:02.040
 felt guilty

00:29:02.040 --> 00:29:02.420
 for their

00:29:02.420 --> 00:29:02.820
 sins.

00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:05.400
 But those

00:29:05.400 --> 00:29:06.560
 sacrifices are

00:29:06.560 --> 00:29:07.120
 an annual

00:29:07.120 --> 00:29:08.340
 reminder of

00:29:08.340 --> 00:29:08.840
 sins.

00:29:09.900 --> 00:29:11.160
 it is

00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:12.140
 impossible

00:29:12.140 --> 00:29:13.980
 for the

00:29:13.980 --> 00:29:14.759
 blood of

00:29:14.759 --> 00:29:15.780
 bulls and

00:29:15.780 --> 00:29:17.440
 goats to

00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:18.640
 take away

00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:19.440
 sins.

00:29:21.340 --> 00:29:22.300
 Therefore,

00:29:22.940 --> 00:29:24.480
 when Christ

00:29:24.480 --> 00:29:24.960
 came into

00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:25.460
 the world,

00:29:25.580 --> 00:29:26.160
 he said,

00:29:26.900 --> 00:29:27.820
 sacrifice an

00:29:27.820 --> 00:29:28.480
 offering you

00:29:28.480 --> 00:29:28.880
 did not

00:29:28.880 --> 00:29:29.360
 desire,

00:29:30.280 --> 00:29:31.120
 but a

00:29:31.120 --> 00:29:32.360
 body you

00:29:32.360 --> 00:29:33.519
 prepared for

00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:33.820
 me.

00:29:34.900 --> 00:29:35.660
 With burnt

00:29:35.660 --> 00:29:36.280
 offerings and

00:29:36.280 --> 00:29:36.860
 sin offerings,

00:29:36.860 --> 00:29:37.780
 you are not

00:29:37.780 --> 00:29:38.259
 pleased.

00:29:38.259 --> 00:29:39.599
 then I

00:29:39.599 --> 00:29:39.859
 said,

00:29:40.180 --> 00:29:41.079
 here I

00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:41.460
 am.

00:29:42.539 --> 00:29:42.940
 It is

00:29:42.940 --> 00:29:43.599
 written about

00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:44.079
 me in the

00:29:44.079 --> 00:29:44.500
 scroll.

00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:45.900
 I have

00:29:45.900 --> 00:29:46.440
 come to

00:29:46.440 --> 00:29:47.220
 do your

00:29:47.220 --> 00:29:47.759
 will,

00:29:48.539 --> 00:29:49.200
 my God.

00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:52.920
 You see,

00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:53.579
 the sacrifice

00:29:53.579 --> 00:29:54.559
 that the

00:29:54.559 --> 00:29:55.640
 people made

00:29:55.640 --> 00:29:57.039
 in Ezra's

00:29:57.039 --> 00:29:58.740
 time for

00:29:58.740 --> 00:29:59.180
 the guilt

00:29:59.180 --> 00:29:59.559
 of their

00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:00.000
 sin,

00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:03.059
 and all

00:30:03.059 --> 00:30:03.859
 the sacrifices

00:30:03.859 --> 00:30:04.440
 made over

00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:05.940
 about 1,500

00:30:05.940 --> 00:30:06.480
 years,

00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:08.320
 every one

00:30:08.320 --> 00:30:08.700
 of them

00:30:08.700 --> 00:30:10.480
 was merely

00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:11.279
 showing the

00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:13.039
 people that

00:30:13.039 --> 00:30:13.759
 blood was

00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:16.160
 necessary to

00:30:16.160 --> 00:30:16.960
 make atonement

00:30:16.960 --> 00:30:17.680
 for their

00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:17.960
 sin.

00:30:18.779 --> 00:30:19.700
 But it

00:30:19.700 --> 00:30:20.240
 wasn't the

00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:20.779
 blood of the

00:30:20.779 --> 00:30:21.320
 animals that

00:30:21.320 --> 00:30:23.059
 would really

00:30:23.059 --> 00:30:24.600
 pay for

00:30:24.600 --> 00:30:25.220
 their sin.

00:30:25.220 --> 00:30:27.480
 it was

00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:28.200
 pointing

00:30:28.200 --> 00:30:29.680
 forward to

00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:30.640
 the sacrifice

00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:31.519
 that would

00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:32.620
 pay for

00:30:32.620 --> 00:30:33.039
 sin.

00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:35.720
 The people

00:30:35.720 --> 00:30:36.360
 needed not

00:30:36.360 --> 00:30:36.920
 an animal.

00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:38.920
 They needed

00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:39.539
 someone who

00:30:39.539 --> 00:30:39.900
 would do

00:30:39.900 --> 00:30:40.460
 God's will

00:30:40.460 --> 00:30:41.360
 perfectly.

00:30:42.360 --> 00:30:42.740
 And that

00:30:42.740 --> 00:30:44.319
 is Christ,

00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:45.299
 who we just

00:30:45.299 --> 00:30:45.839
 read about.

00:30:47.100 --> 00:30:48.220
 His body

00:30:48.220 --> 00:30:50.039
 was prepared

00:30:50.039 --> 00:30:50.960
 as a

00:30:50.960 --> 00:30:51.519
 sacrifice

00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:52.660
 for us,

00:30:52.779 --> 00:30:53.960
 the perfect

00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:55.039
 sacrifice.

00:30:55.220 --> 00:30:56.019
 Look at

00:30:56.019 --> 00:30:56.559
 verse 10

00:30:56.559 --> 00:30:58.059
 in Hebrews

00:30:58.059 --> 00:30:58.660
 chapter 10.

00:30:58.759 --> 00:30:58.960
 It says,

00:30:59.160 --> 00:30:59.600
 and by that

00:30:59.600 --> 00:30:59.940
 will,

00:31:01.120 --> 00:31:02.440
 we have

00:31:02.440 --> 00:31:03.000
 been made

00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:03.640
 holy

00:31:03.640 --> 00:31:05.440
 through the

00:31:05.440 --> 00:31:06.000
 sacrifice

00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:07.120
 of the

00:31:07.120 --> 00:31:08.120
 body of

00:31:08.120 --> 00:31:08.559
 Jesus

00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:09.299
 Christ

00:31:09.299 --> 00:31:10.220
 once and

00:31:10.220 --> 00:31:10.660
 for all.

00:31:10.860 --> 00:31:11.180
 Do you

00:31:11.180 --> 00:31:11.660
 remember that

00:31:11.660 --> 00:31:12.400
 earlier picture

00:31:12.400 --> 00:31:14.160
 of the

00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:15.079
 filth of our

00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:15.539
 sin and

00:31:15.539 --> 00:31:16.240
 unfaithfulness,

00:31:16.500 --> 00:31:16.900
 meaning we

00:31:16.900 --> 00:31:17.539
 can't enter

00:31:17.539 --> 00:31:17.860
 God's

00:31:17.860 --> 00:31:18.240
 presence?

00:31:20.880 --> 00:31:21.559
 Through

00:31:21.559 --> 00:31:22.500
 faith

00:31:22.500 --> 00:31:24.240
 in Christ's

00:31:24.240 --> 00:31:25.140
 sacrifice,

00:31:25.220 --> 00:31:26.059
 for us,

00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:27.180
 we can

00:31:27.180 --> 00:31:27.600
 be made

00:31:27.600 --> 00:31:27.900
 holy.

00:31:29.019 --> 00:31:29.720
 That is

00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:30.759
 the astonishing

00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:31.360
 news for

00:31:31.360 --> 00:31:31.640
 you and

00:31:31.640 --> 00:31:31.860
 I.

00:31:34.460 --> 00:31:35.720
 We can

00:31:35.720 --> 00:31:36.500
 have faith

00:31:36.500 --> 00:31:37.100
 that the

00:31:37.100 --> 00:31:37.860
 blood of

00:31:37.860 --> 00:31:38.920
 Jesus Christ

00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:40.220
 cleanses us

00:31:40.220 --> 00:31:40.920
 from all

00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:41.519
 our sin.

00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:44.079
 It is as if

00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:44.600
 we are given

00:31:44.600 --> 00:31:45.880
 new,

00:31:46.220 --> 00:31:46.700
 clean

00:31:46.700 --> 00:31:48.059
 clothes to

00:31:48.059 --> 00:31:48.440
 wear.

00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:50.100
 the

00:31:50.100 --> 00:31:50.820
 righteousness

00:31:50.820 --> 00:31:52.420
 of Jesus

00:31:52.420 --> 00:31:53.840
 so we

00:31:53.840 --> 00:31:55.120
 can stand

00:31:55.120 --> 00:31:55.580
 in God's

00:31:55.580 --> 00:31:55.960
 presence

00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:56.640
 forever,

00:31:57.180 --> 00:31:58.120
 made right

00:31:58.120 --> 00:31:58.920
 with him.

00:31:59.880 --> 00:32:00.539
 When John

00:32:00.539 --> 00:32:00.940
 the Baptist

00:32:00.940 --> 00:32:01.620
 first saw

00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:02.160
 Jesus,

00:32:03.019 --> 00:32:03.580
 he said

00:32:03.580 --> 00:32:04.220
 these words,

00:32:04.779 --> 00:32:05.519
 behold,

00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:07.240
 the Lamb

00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:08.360
 of God

00:32:08.360 --> 00:32:10.220
 who takes

00:32:10.220 --> 00:32:11.519
 away the

00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:12.660
 sins of

00:32:12.660 --> 00:32:13.460
 the world.

00:32:13.460 --> 00:32:16.759
 see the

00:32:16.759 --> 00:32:17.220
 Lamb

00:32:17.220 --> 00:32:18.519
 hanging on

00:32:18.519 --> 00:32:19.079
 the cross

00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:20.200
 for your

00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:20.960
 unfaithfulness.

00:32:23.019 --> 00:32:23.920
 See him

00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:24.920
 drink the

00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:25.539
 cup of

00:32:25.539 --> 00:32:26.180
 God's

00:32:26.180 --> 00:32:26.759
 wrath

00:32:26.759 --> 00:32:28.440
 at your

00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:29.019
 sin

00:32:29.019 --> 00:32:29.940
 and

00:32:29.940 --> 00:32:30.579
 treachery.

00:32:32.380 --> 00:32:33.079
 He

00:32:33.079 --> 00:32:34.039
 bore God's

00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:34.519
 wrath for

00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:34.940
 you.

00:32:36.220 --> 00:32:37.319
 He paid

00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:38.600
 for all

00:32:38.600 --> 00:32:39.079
 of your

00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:39.579
 sin.

00:32:39.579 --> 00:32:42.139
 We

00:32:42.139 --> 00:32:43.059
 are made

00:32:43.059 --> 00:32:43.619
 right

00:32:43.619 --> 00:32:44.460
 with God

00:32:44.460 --> 00:32:44.980
 the Father

00:32:44.980 --> 00:32:45.980
 through

00:32:45.980 --> 00:32:47.240
 repentance

00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:48.619
 and

00:32:48.619 --> 00:32:49.859
 faith

00:32:49.859 --> 00:32:50.859
 in

00:32:50.859 --> 00:32:51.740
 Christ

00:32:51.740 --> 00:32:52.619
 whose

00:32:52.619 --> 00:32:53.240
 blood

00:32:53.240 --> 00:32:53.919
 atones

00:32:53.919 --> 00:32:55.000
 for

00:32:55.000 --> 00:32:55.439
 our

00:32:55.439 --> 00:32:55.919
 sin.

00:32:57.220 --> 00:32:58.039
 Friend

00:32:58.039 --> 00:32:58.839
 here today

00:32:58.839 --> 00:32:59.339
 who has

00:32:59.339 --> 00:33:00.079
 not yet

00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:00.839
 trusted in

00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:01.279
 Christ,

00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:03.079
 repent

00:33:03.079 --> 00:33:03.819
 of your

00:33:03.819 --> 00:33:04.240
 sin.

00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:05.659
 Put

00:33:05.659 --> 00:33:06.139
 your

00:33:06.139 --> 00:33:06.839
 faith

00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:07.639
 wholly

00:33:07.639 --> 00:33:08.339
 in him.

00:33:09.579 --> 00:33:11.259
 The song

00:33:11.259 --> 00:33:12.079
 we sang

00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:12.559
 earlier

00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:13.159
 said it.

00:33:13.939 --> 00:33:14.299
 This is

00:33:14.299 --> 00:33:14.659
 how we

00:33:14.659 --> 00:33:14.939
 come.

00:33:15.699 --> 00:33:16.639
 Just as

00:33:16.639 --> 00:33:17.199
 I am

00:33:17.199 --> 00:33:18.279
 without

00:33:18.279 --> 00:33:19.480
 one plea

00:33:19.480 --> 00:33:21.159
 but that

00:33:21.159 --> 00:33:21.899
 your

00:33:21.899 --> 00:33:22.579
 blood

00:33:22.579 --> 00:33:23.299
 was shed

00:33:23.299 --> 00:33:24.199
 for me

00:33:24.199 --> 00:33:26.379
 and that

00:33:26.379 --> 00:33:27.000
 you

00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:27.859
 bid me

00:33:27.859 --> 00:33:28.439
 come

00:33:28.439 --> 00:33:29.199
 to thee

00:33:29.199 --> 00:33:30.379
 O

00:33:30.379 --> 00:33:30.960
 Lamb

00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:31.699
 of God

00:33:31.699 --> 00:33:32.039
 I

00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:32.899
 come.

00:33:35.339 --> 00:33:36.339
 Jesus

00:33:36.339 --> 00:33:37.919
 bids

00:33:37.919 --> 00:33:38.339
 you

00:33:38.339 --> 00:33:39.019
 come.

00:33:39.579 --> 00:33:41.659
 And

00:33:41.659 --> 00:33:41.919
 not

00:33:41.919 --> 00:33:42.199
 just

00:33:42.199 --> 00:33:42.480
 on the

00:33:42.480 --> 00:33:42.759
 first

00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:43.000
 day

00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:43.139
 of

00:33:43.139 --> 00:33:43.279
 your

00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:43.559
 life

00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:43.759
 with

00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:43.980
 him.

00:33:46.779 --> 00:33:47.379
 Jesus

00:33:47.379 --> 00:33:47.759
 bids

00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:47.980
 us

00:33:47.980 --> 00:33:48.240
 come

00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:48.599
 every

00:33:48.599 --> 00:33:48.939
 day

00:33:48.939 --> 00:33:51.079
 in

00:33:51.079 --> 00:33:51.599
 repentance

00:33:51.599 --> 00:33:52.699
 and

00:33:52.699 --> 00:33:53.159
 faith

00:33:53.159 --> 00:33:55.079
 because

00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:55.579
 every

00:33:55.579 --> 00:33:55.899
 day

00:33:55.899 --> 00:33:56.299
 we

00:33:56.299 --> 00:33:56.679
 fail

00:33:56.679 --> 00:33:56.879
 to

00:33:56.879 --> 00:33:57.079
 love

00:33:57.079 --> 00:33:57.220
 him

00:33:57.220 --> 00:33:57.359
 as

00:33:57.359 --> 00:33:57.519
 we

00:33:57.519 --> 00:33:57.799
 should.

00:33:58.799 --> 00:33:59.399
 We
