00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.480
 Let me invite you to join me in your copy of God's Word in Hebrews chapter 7.

00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:17.120
 We had yesterday a 10-year family reunion for the church, and I'm tired.

00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:19.900
! Maybe that's why words aren't coming out of my mouth the way they should.

00:00:21.500 --> 00:00:29.660
 Our text for this morning is Hebrews chapter 7, verses 11 through 19 as we continue our verse-by-verse study.

00:00:29.660 --> 00:00:36.500
 Of this letter. Before I read it, beloved, let me remind you this is God's Word to us written for His glory and our good.

00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:42.740
 So we would all do well to listen to it in order to believe its promises and to obey its commands.

00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:45.460
 Verse 11 of Hebrews chapter 7.

00:00:46.859 --> 00:00:54.659
 Now, if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood, for under it the people received the law,

00:00:54.659 --> 00:01:01.119
 what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek,

00:01:01.379 --> 00:01:04.039
 rather than one named after the order of Aaron?

00:01:04.899 --> 00:01:09.899
 For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well.

00:01:10.539 --> 00:01:17.099
 For the one of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.

00:01:17.099 --> 00:01:24.919
 For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, and in connection with that tribe, Moses said nothing about priests.

00:01:25.919 --> 00:01:30.539
 This becomes even more evident when another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek,

00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:35.359
 who has become a priest not on the basis of a legal requirement concerning bodily descent,

00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:38.639
 but by the power of an indestructible life.

00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:45.119
 For it is witnessed of him, you are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:51.240
 For on the one hand, a former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness,

00:01:51.420 --> 00:01:53.320
 for the law made nothing perfect.

00:01:54.180 --> 00:02:01.400
 But on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.

00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:08.319
 Before we begin our consideration of this morning's text about Melchizedek,

00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:13.340
 I would like to re-deliver the summary I gave you last week of the author of Hebrews,

00:02:13.799 --> 00:02:18.419
 when he begins mentioning Melchizedek back in chapter 5.

00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:24.319
 Recall that the author first mentioned him in speaking of Jesus' earthly priesthood.

00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:28.340
 He goes on in Hebrews chapter 5, verse 11 to say,

00:02:28.740 --> 00:02:31.759
 about this we have much to say.

00:02:31.819 --> 00:02:35.579
 And he's referring to Jesus' Melchizedekian priesthood.

00:02:35.580 --> 00:02:42.760
 And it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:51.100
 So he stops to rebuke this little, tired, suffering church.

00:02:51.820 --> 00:02:57.620
 This letter is meant to be pressing them on in their faithful endurance.

00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:00.700
 And he stops at this point and rebukes them.

00:03:00.760 --> 00:03:04.000
 He says, you have become dull of hearing.

00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:11.300
 And he warns them against apostasy, against abandoning the faith altogether.

00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:17.219
 And he then exhorts his hearers to faithful and patient endurance

00:03:17.219 --> 00:03:21.860
 to inherit the promises, chapter 6 and verse 12.

00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:27.759
 And he roots the surety of those promises in Jesus' person and work.

00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:31.659
 Chapter 6, verses 19 and 20.

00:03:32.139 --> 00:03:35.719
 We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul.

00:03:36.179 --> 00:03:38.879
 A hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain.

00:03:39.139 --> 00:03:42.199
 Where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf.

00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:47.239
 Having become a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:51.700
 So we've been following an arc, I pointed out to you last week,

00:03:51.740 --> 00:03:54.219
 over about seven or eight weeks.

00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:58.000
 Beginning in chapter 5, verse 10.

00:03:58.600 --> 00:04:03.180
 Being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

00:04:03.660 --> 00:04:07.400
 To, verse 20 of chapter 6.

00:04:08.060 --> 00:04:12.379
 Having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

00:04:12.379 --> 00:04:15.819
 He picks back up that theme here again.

00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:18.959
 So, we've come back to our author.

00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:25.839
 Explaining the significance of what it means that Jesus is a Melchizedekian priest.

00:04:26.620 --> 00:04:33.759
 In the beginning of chapter 7, we saw last week that Melchizedek foreshadows Christ's offices.

00:04:34.420 --> 00:04:37.219
 That he foreshadows Christ's qualifications.

00:04:37.980 --> 00:04:41.680
 And that he foreshadows Christ's superiority.

00:04:42.379 --> 00:04:49.199
 And the author is driving his original hearers and us in our study this morning.

00:04:49.699 --> 00:04:53.740
 To this point found in Hebrews chapter 7 and verse 25.

00:04:54.879 --> 00:05:00.860
 Consequently, he, being Christ, is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God.

00:05:01.159 --> 00:05:03.219
 Through him, being Christ.

00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:08.620
 Since he always lives to make intercession for them.

00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:12.159
 This is the case that is being built.

00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:16.280
 It's that Christ is able to save forever.

00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:24.740
 To be able to save perfectly all those who come to God through him because he lives.

00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:29.420
 And because he lives, he intercedes for us.

00:05:29.420 --> 00:05:35.819
 You see, the Hebrew believers were being tempted through their suffering to abandon their faith.

00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:39.600
 And go back to the comfort of Judaism.

00:05:40.620 --> 00:05:44.439
 And the author of this letter wants them to avoid doing so.

00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:48.200
 Out of a great pastoral care for them.

00:05:48.620 --> 00:05:50.980
 He's saying, don't go back.

00:05:51.420 --> 00:05:54.340
 Don't make shipwreck of your faith.

00:05:54.339 --> 00:05:57.879
 Continue to pursue Christ.

00:05:59.019 --> 00:06:03.819
 He wants to see them and us faithful to the end.

00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:09.639
 The question for us is, will we persevere?

00:06:10.579 --> 00:06:12.799
 Will we persevere?

00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:17.000
 Now, if we are Christ, we most certainly will.

00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:21.160
 But we are living in that time right now.

00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:25.000
 Will I be faithful to the end?

00:06:25.980 --> 00:06:30.199
 Now, we most likely will not be tempted to turn to Judaism.

00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:38.819
 But we very well may be tempted in the trial of life, in the discomfort of living as a people for the praise of God,

00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:43.699
 to turn to some other religion of the world.

00:06:44.459 --> 00:06:46.659
 And this is the simplicity of it.

00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:51.480
 You have two basic religions in the world.

00:06:51.579 --> 00:06:53.459
 And everybody ascribes to one of the two.

00:06:53.459 --> 00:07:00.239
 The one that we're commending this morning is to place your faith in Jesus Christ.

00:07:00.419 --> 00:07:01.519
 Saving faith.

00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:03.579
 To throw all of yourself on Him.

00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:04.939
 Turn from your sin.

00:07:05.379 --> 00:07:09.659
 And plead His person and His work for the salvation of your soul.

00:07:11.419 --> 00:07:14.879
 The other, in whatever form it takes,

00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:20.099
 merely works to be found right before God.

00:07:20.100 --> 00:07:23.360
 Whether a person recognizes that there is a God,

00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:26.300
 will be good enough in some measure,

00:07:26.520 --> 00:07:29.920
 will live by their own command and their own rule.

00:07:30.620 --> 00:07:33.640
 Everyone who doesn't place believing faith in Christ,

00:07:34.020 --> 00:07:37.740
 who doesn't recognize that nothing they can do can make them accepted,

00:07:37.860 --> 00:07:39.400
 can make them right,

00:07:39.780 --> 00:07:42.220
 is following this way.

00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:45.020
 And Judaism is that.

00:07:45.100 --> 00:07:46.520
 It fits in that category.

00:07:46.520 --> 00:07:49.340
 So we're not so different from the Hebrew believers.

00:07:50.100 --> 00:07:54.960
 Temple worship was meant to point to something greater.

00:07:55.580 --> 00:07:58.580
 It was meant to say to the Hebrews,

00:07:58.879 --> 00:07:59.820
 not this,

00:08:00.520 --> 00:08:04.860
 but this is a dress rehearsal for something much grander.

00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:08.080
 We want you to see what you really need

00:08:08.080 --> 00:08:14.400
 as this ironic worship is carried out.

00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:20.099
 Now, an example of a failure to persevere,

00:08:20.219 --> 00:08:22.039
 as far as we can tell,

00:08:22.599 --> 00:08:26.079
 has come to light just in the past couple of weeks.

00:08:26.939 --> 00:08:30.060
 Some of you may be familiar with Josh Harris.

00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:31.819
 Wrote half a dozen books.

00:08:32.340 --> 00:08:35.299
 I Kissed Dating Goodbye is the most popular of them.

00:08:35.459 --> 00:08:36.240
 Not the best of them,

00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:38.560
 but the most popular of them.

00:08:39.580 --> 00:08:43.879
 Pastored a Sovereign Grace church for 14 years,

00:08:44.500 --> 00:08:45.120
 I believe.

00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:49.399
 He recently announced on social media

00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:50.740
 that he was divorcing his wife.

00:08:51.340 --> 00:08:52.019
 Prior to that,

00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:54.379
 he had just repudiated a bunch of his writing.

00:08:55.379 --> 00:08:56.299
 He's divorcing his wife,

00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:57.720
 and just here recently,

00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:00.899
 has decided that he's no longer a Christian.

00:09:01.860 --> 00:09:02.919
 I want to read to you,

00:09:02.980 --> 00:09:05.399
 this is the post that he put on Instagram,

00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:07.819
 and I do this with a heavy heart.

00:09:08.079 --> 00:09:08.439
 I don't,

00:09:10.059 --> 00:09:13.379
 none of this is standing in judgment of Josh Harris,

00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:15.740
 but to help you to see the danger,

00:09:16.340 --> 00:09:18.299
 outward appearance.

00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:19.799
 Who would have ever thought,

00:09:20.379 --> 00:09:21.259
 who would have ever thought

00:09:21.259 --> 00:09:22.740
 we'd be reading these words

00:09:22.740 --> 00:09:24.720
 written by Josh Harris?

00:09:25.319 --> 00:09:25.899
 He says,

00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:27.079
 My heart is full of gratitude.

00:09:27.899 --> 00:09:29.579
 I wish you could see all the messages

00:09:29.580 --> 00:09:30.920
 people sent me after the announcement

00:09:30.920 --> 00:09:31.639
 of my divorce.

00:09:32.420 --> 00:09:33.660
 They are expressions of love,

00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:34.980
 though they are saddened

00:09:34.980 --> 00:09:36.820
 or even strongly disapprove of the decision.

00:09:37.620 --> 00:09:38.800
 I am learning that no group

00:09:38.800 --> 00:09:40.480
 has the market cornered on grace.

00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:41.480
 This week,

00:09:41.520 --> 00:09:42.800
 I have received grace from Christians,

00:09:42.980 --> 00:09:43.379
 atheists,

00:09:43.460 --> 00:09:44.240
 evangelicals,

00:09:44.400 --> 00:09:45.639
 ex-evangelicals,

00:09:46.280 --> 00:09:47.100
 straight people,

00:09:47.379 --> 00:09:48.740
 LGBTQ people,

00:09:48.820 --> 00:09:49.759
 and everyone in between.

00:09:50.680 --> 00:09:51.200
 Of course,

00:09:51.280 --> 00:09:52.879
 there have also been strong words of rebuke

00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:53.680
 from religious people.

00:09:54.280 --> 00:09:55.259
 While not always pleasant,

00:09:55.259 --> 00:09:56.800
 I know they are seeking to love me.

00:09:57.340 --> 00:09:58.300
 They have also been spiteful,

00:09:58.299 --> 00:10:00.199
 hateful comments that angered and hurt me.

00:10:01.099 --> 00:10:02.919
 The information that was left out

00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:03.699
 of our announcement

00:10:03.699 --> 00:10:05.039
 concerning the divorce

00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:06.759
 is that I have undergone

00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:07.839
 a massive shift

00:10:07.839 --> 00:10:09.639
 in regard to my faith in Jesus.

00:10:10.479 --> 00:10:12.179
 The popular phrase for this

00:10:12.179 --> 00:10:13.779
 is deconstruction.

00:10:14.579 --> 00:10:15.879
 The biblical phrase

00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:17.479
 is falling away.

00:10:18.459 --> 00:10:20.099
 By all the measurements that I have

00:10:20.099 --> 00:10:21.339
 for defining a Christian,

00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:23.039
 I am not a Christian.

00:10:23.579 --> 00:10:25.079
 And I appreciate he's at least

00:10:25.079 --> 00:10:26.240
 intellectually honest.

00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:28.799
 He's willing to take the Bible

00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:31.980
 as the framework for Christianity.

00:10:32.340 --> 00:10:32.799
 But he's saying,

00:10:32.980 --> 00:10:34.960
 I can't call myself that

00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:36.720
 any longer.

00:10:37.180 --> 00:10:37.759
 He goes on,

00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:38.779
 Many people tell me

00:10:38.779 --> 00:10:39.759
 that there is a different way

00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:40.779
 to practice faith.

00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:42.759
 And I want to remain open to this,

00:10:43.139 --> 00:10:44.320
 but I'm not there now.

00:10:45.620 --> 00:10:46.779
 Then he quotes Martin Luther,

00:10:46.899 --> 00:10:47.340
 which is interesting.

00:10:47.580 --> 00:10:47.879
 But he says,

00:10:47.940 --> 00:10:48.600
 Martin Luther said

00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:50.120
 that the entire life of believers

00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:50.879
 should be repentance.

00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:52.840
 There's beauty in that sentiment

00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:54.259
 regardless of your view of God.

00:10:54.259 --> 00:10:55.659
 I have lived in repentance

00:10:55.659 --> 00:10:56.799
 for the past several years,

00:10:56.919 --> 00:10:58.340
 repenting of my self-righteousness,

00:10:58.539 --> 00:11:00.379
 my fear-based approach to life,

00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:01.559
 the teaching of my books,

00:11:01.980 --> 00:11:03.360
 my views of women in the church,

00:11:03.460 --> 00:11:04.460
 and my approach to parenting,

00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:05.299
 to name a few.

00:11:06.019 --> 00:11:07.899
 But I specifically want to add

00:11:07.899 --> 00:11:09.139
 to this list now

00:11:09.139 --> 00:11:11.580
 to the LGBTQ plus community,

00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:12.759
 I want to say that I'm sorry

00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:14.279
 for the views that I taught in my books

00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:16.480
 and as a pastor regarding sexuality.

00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:19.360
 I regret standing against marriage equality,

00:11:19.560 --> 00:11:20.800
 for not affirming you

00:11:20.800 --> 00:11:21.840
 and your place in the church,

00:11:22.019 --> 00:11:23.639
 and for any ways that my writing

00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:24.639
 and speaking contributed

00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:27.440
 to a culture of exclusion and bigotry.

00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:29.379
 I hope you can forgive me.

00:11:30.779 --> 00:11:32.680
 Now, there's certainly a lot of sentiment

00:11:32.680 --> 00:11:35.080
 in there that's good and healthy.

00:11:35.220 --> 00:11:35.940
 There's some things he says

00:11:35.940 --> 00:11:36.560
 that you can say,

00:11:36.659 --> 00:11:38.879
 yes, well, we would want to apologize

00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:42.259
 for contributing to cultures of bigotry,

00:11:42.500 --> 00:11:43.920
 to be sure.

00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.740
 But you can see the way in which it seems

00:11:46.740 --> 00:11:49.120
 as if he's entirely abandoned

00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:51.199
 the gospel of Jesus Christ,

00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:53.120
 even at his admission.

00:11:54.259 --> 00:11:56.679
 Now, we cannot know with any finality

00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:00.240
 what is going on in the soul of Josh Harris.

00:12:00.500 --> 00:12:03.139
 I'd invite you to join me in praying for him.

00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:05.439
 He has many close friends

00:12:05.439 --> 00:12:06.719
 who are walking beside him

00:12:06.719 --> 00:12:08.079
 and working with him.

00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:10.199
 I've even seen him tongue-in-cheek say

00:12:10.199 --> 00:12:11.360
 they're welcome to hang out with him

00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:12.879
 because now it would be considered evangelism.

00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:16.759
 We would like to think

00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:19.899
 that Josh has come to just a low place

00:12:19.899 --> 00:12:20.819
 in his life

00:12:20.819 --> 00:12:23.479
 and he is, in fact, in Christ.

00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:26.500
 But, either way,

00:12:26.599 --> 00:12:27.879
 this points to the reality

00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:30.019
 that the danger is real.

00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:32.679
 The temptation is out there.

00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:34.339
 He, as a public figure,

00:12:34.599 --> 00:12:36.059
 got a lot of heat.

00:12:36.059 --> 00:12:38.439
 And he found himself,

00:12:38.579 --> 00:12:41.459
 rather than standing firm in Christ,

00:12:42.079 --> 00:12:44.679
 Christ being the anchor of his soul

00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:46.779
 and pressing on in truth,

00:12:47.299 --> 00:12:49.559
 abandoning faith.

00:12:49.939 --> 00:12:53.500
 Abandoning it for something else.

00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:55.500
 The temptation is there.

00:12:55.579 --> 00:12:57.559
 And as you continue in your pursuit

00:12:57.559 --> 00:12:59.399
 of a life pleasing to God

00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:00.439
 in Christ Jesus,

00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:03.060
 you will experience trial

00:13:03.060 --> 00:13:06.560
 and you will experience discomfort.

00:13:08.160 --> 00:13:09.620
 Hold, beloved.

00:13:10.260 --> 00:13:10.780
 Hold.

00:13:11.900 --> 00:13:13.320
 This is the message of Hebrews.

00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:15.380
 And this morning's text

00:13:15.380 --> 00:13:16.400
 makes this point

00:13:16.400 --> 00:13:18.780
 by showing us two things.

00:13:19.880 --> 00:13:20.440
 Number one,

00:13:21.100 --> 00:13:22.180
 the insufficiency

00:13:22.179 --> 00:13:25.179
 of the Aaronic priesthood

00:13:25.179 --> 00:13:26.559
 and the Old Covenant.

00:13:27.819 --> 00:13:28.799
 And two,

00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:30.539
 the sufficiency

00:13:30.539 --> 00:13:33.620
 of the Melchizedekian priesthood

00:13:33.620 --> 00:13:35.759
 and the New Covenant.

00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:37.219
 If you're taking notes,

00:13:37.299 --> 00:13:37.759
 you could just say

00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:39.159
 insufficiency, O-T,

00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:41.239
 insufficiency, N-T.

00:13:43.059 --> 00:13:43.579
 First,

00:13:44.579 --> 00:13:45.259
 the insufficiency

00:13:45.259 --> 00:13:46.519
 of the Aaronic priesthood

00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:48.339
 and the Old Covenant.

00:13:48.599 --> 00:13:51.339
 See this in verses 11 through 14.

00:13:51.340 --> 00:13:52.680
 Now, if perfection

00:13:52.680 --> 00:13:53.320
 had been attainable

00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:54.639
 through the Levitical priesthood,

00:13:54.980 --> 00:13:55.940
 for under it

00:13:55.940 --> 00:13:57.399
 the people received the law,

00:13:57.800 --> 00:13:58.600
 what further need

00:13:58.600 --> 00:13:59.480
 would there have been

00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:00.340
 for another priest

00:14:00.340 --> 00:14:00.940
 to arise

00:14:00.940 --> 00:14:02.540
 after the order of Melchizedek

00:14:02.540 --> 00:14:04.259
 rather than one named

00:14:04.259 --> 00:14:05.780
 after the order of Aaron?

00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:07.519
 For when there is a change

00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:08.120
 in the priesthood,

00:14:08.180 --> 00:14:08.980
 there is necessarily

00:14:08.980 --> 00:14:11.139
 a change in the law as well.

00:14:11.800 --> 00:14:13.440
 For the one of whom

00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:14.440
 these things are spoken

00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:15.720
 belong to another tribe

00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:16.460
 from which no one

00:14:16.460 --> 00:14:17.460
 has ever served

00:14:17.460 --> 00:14:18.379
 at the altar.

00:14:18.860 --> 00:14:19.519
 For it is evident

00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:19.940
 that our Lord

00:14:19.940 --> 00:14:20.900
 was descended from Judah

00:14:20.899 --> 00:14:21.659
 and in connection

00:14:21.659 --> 00:14:22.439
 with that tribe,

00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:24.039
 Moses said nothing

00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:25.220
 about priests.

00:14:26.100 --> 00:14:27.159
 Now, we talk about this

00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:28.039
 a bit at length

00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:30.639
 about the different order

00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:31.539
 and why it was

00:14:31.539 --> 00:14:32.899
 that Christ came from

00:14:32.899 --> 00:14:34.860
 the Melchizedekian order

00:14:34.860 --> 00:14:36.699
 versus the Aaronic order

00:14:36.699 --> 00:14:37.679
 and he's just continuing

00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:39.539
 to make that point here.

00:14:40.299 --> 00:14:41.100
 He's saying,

00:14:41.100 --> 00:14:45.240
 if the law had been able

00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:47.320
 to make us perfect,

00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:49.100
 then why not just have

00:14:49.100 --> 00:14:50.420
 another priest in the order

00:14:50.420 --> 00:14:51.240
 of Aaron?

00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:53.500
 But because it couldn't,

00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:54.980
 verse 11 is making this point,

00:14:55.100 --> 00:14:57.560
 if perfection had been attainable,

00:14:58.100 --> 00:15:01.240
 they couldn't bring about perfection,

00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:05.060
 then a different type of priest

00:15:05.060 --> 00:15:06.560
 was necessary.

00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:08.560
 A different priest

00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:09.279
 that came from

00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:10.579
 a different line.

00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:11.619
 Jesus coming from,

00:15:11.699 --> 00:15:12.179
 verse 14,

00:15:12.539 --> 00:15:13.639
 the line of Judah

00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:15.459
 was not allowed to serve

00:15:15.459 --> 00:15:17.799
 as an Aaronic priest,

00:15:17.899 --> 00:15:19.299
 a Levitical priest,

00:15:19.819 --> 00:15:22.219
 but he was appointed by God,

00:15:22.259 --> 00:15:23.039
 not because he was

00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:24.739
 in a lineage of man,

00:15:24.899 --> 00:15:25.899
 but because God

00:15:25.899 --> 00:15:27.059
 appointed him

00:15:27.059 --> 00:15:28.719
 a priest.

00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:31.439
 And this idea of perfection,

00:15:31.619 --> 00:15:33.019
 we very quickly

00:15:33.019 --> 00:15:34.059
 think of it

00:15:34.059 --> 00:15:36.419
 in terms of maturity,

00:15:36.719 --> 00:15:39.199
 being grown up in.

00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:40.639
 Now, certainly,

00:15:41.319 --> 00:15:42.419
 if you were able

00:15:42.419 --> 00:15:44.359
 to keep the law perfectly,

00:15:45.219 --> 00:15:47.000
 you could attain

00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:48.759
 to such perfection.

00:15:49.359 --> 00:15:50.099
 But the meaning

00:15:50.099 --> 00:15:51.719
 is a bit broader than that,

00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:53.099
 and we get a clue of that

00:15:53.099 --> 00:15:54.259
 as we look further down

00:15:54.259 --> 00:15:55.379
 in the text,

00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:56.059
 the parenthetical

00:15:56.599 --> 00:15:58.319
 in verse 19,

00:15:59.439 --> 00:16:00.719
 where the writer of Hebrews says,

00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:01.759
 for the law made

00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:03.800
 nothing perfect.

00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:06.279
 Same Greek word.

00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:07.360
 And he ties it

00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:08.700
 into this idea

00:16:08.700 --> 00:16:11.080
 of being able

00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:12.279
 to draw near

00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:13.820
 to God.

00:16:14.500 --> 00:16:16.420
 So it's an ability

00:16:16.420 --> 00:16:19.399
 to have unfettered access

00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:20.980
 to God.

00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:22.240
 And the law

00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:23.320
 could not

00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:25.259
 accomplish this.

00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:26.920
 Now,

00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:28.180
 that does not exclude

00:16:28.179 --> 00:16:28.839
 the ability

00:16:28.839 --> 00:16:30.599
 of the God-worshippers

00:16:30.599 --> 00:16:31.679
 under the Old Covenant

00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:33.519
 to draw near to God,

00:16:34.179 --> 00:16:34.939
 but the author

00:16:34.939 --> 00:16:36.359
 is driving us toward

00:16:36.359 --> 00:16:36.939
 and speaking

00:16:36.939 --> 00:16:39.679
 of a better hope.

00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:41.179
 They had a

00:16:41.179 --> 00:16:42.120
 fettered access

00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:42.979
 to God.

00:16:43.500 --> 00:16:44.539
 We now,

00:16:44.739 --> 00:16:45.419
 in Christ,

00:16:45.599 --> 00:16:46.639
 because he is

00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:47.439
 the better hope,

00:16:47.819 --> 00:16:48.339
 have an

00:16:48.339 --> 00:16:50.059
 unfettered

00:16:50.059 --> 00:16:51.099
 access.

00:16:52.099 --> 00:16:53.159
 God dwelt

00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:54.740
 in a tabernacle,

00:16:54.959 --> 00:16:55.819
 in an inner place

00:16:55.819 --> 00:16:56.699
 called the Holy of Holies,

00:16:56.819 --> 00:16:57.819
 and then in a temple,

00:16:57.820 --> 00:16:58.660
 in an inner place

00:16:58.660 --> 00:17:00.040
 called the Holy of Holies.

00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:01.320
 This is where his

00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:02.580
 presence was.

00:17:02.660 --> 00:17:03.840
 It wasn't amongst

00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:05.019
 and in his people.

00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:05.980
 It was in a

00:17:05.980 --> 00:17:06.960
 place.

00:17:08.380 --> 00:17:09.259
 And they could

00:17:09.259 --> 00:17:10.160
 draw near

00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:11.620
 by visiting

00:17:11.620 --> 00:17:12.440
 the temple.

00:17:12.779 --> 00:17:13.440
 They had to remain

00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:15.620
 outside the Holy of Holies

00:17:15.620 --> 00:17:16.660
 through much

00:17:16.660 --> 00:17:17.420
 sacrifice,

00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:18.460
 through much

00:17:18.460 --> 00:17:19.259
 cleansing,

00:17:19.860 --> 00:17:20.820
 all of these

00:17:20.820 --> 00:17:21.420
 rites

00:17:21.420 --> 00:17:22.460
 and rituals

00:17:22.460 --> 00:17:23.640
 that were meant

00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:24.580
 to point to

00:17:24.579 --> 00:17:26.000
 a greater

00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:26.899
 sacrifice,

00:17:27.259 --> 00:17:28.059
 meant to point

00:17:28.059 --> 00:17:29.119
 to a greater

00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:30.079
 cleansing.

00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:31.759
 And I wish,

00:17:31.819 --> 00:17:32.519
 I wish that we

00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:33.019
 could just get

00:17:33.019 --> 00:17:33.879
 an injection

00:17:33.879 --> 00:17:35.960
 of understanding,

00:17:36.500 --> 00:17:37.419
 a feeling

00:17:37.419 --> 00:17:38.639
 of the weightiness

00:17:38.639 --> 00:17:39.699
 of that temple

00:17:39.699 --> 00:17:40.319
 worship.

00:17:40.779 --> 00:17:41.939
 We are so far

00:17:41.939 --> 00:17:43.199
 removed from that.

00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:44.679
 Our minds,

00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:45.220
 when we see

00:17:45.220 --> 00:17:45.699
 that there's a

00:17:45.699 --> 00:17:46.720
 better hope

00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:47.679
 in drawing near

00:17:47.679 --> 00:17:48.119
 to God,

00:17:48.199 --> 00:17:48.379
 go,

00:17:49.159 --> 00:17:49.639
 okay.

00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:52.040
 these people

00:17:52.040 --> 00:17:53.100
 would have

00:17:53.100 --> 00:17:53.740
 had much,

00:17:53.800 --> 00:17:54.020
 they would have

00:17:54.020 --> 00:17:55.100
 been consumed

00:17:55.100 --> 00:17:56.480
 with this idea

00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:57.440
 of being able

00:17:57.440 --> 00:17:58.360
 to draw near

00:17:58.360 --> 00:17:59.840
 to God.

00:18:00.280 --> 00:18:00.720
 And this was

00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:01.440
 tied in their

00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:01.940
 minds,

00:18:02.259 --> 00:18:03.200
 most often

00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:04.060
 and regularly

00:18:04.060 --> 00:18:05.940
 to the temple.

00:18:07.020 --> 00:18:07.820
 We can see this

00:18:07.820 --> 00:18:08.720
 all throughout

00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:10.200
 the Psalms.

00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:11.660
 C.S. Lewis

00:18:11.660 --> 00:18:12.440
 in his work

00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:13.360
 Reflections on the

00:18:13.360 --> 00:18:13.720
 Psalms

00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:14.440
 wrote this,

00:18:15.100 --> 00:18:15.800
 these poets

00:18:15.800 --> 00:18:17.759
 knew far less

00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:18.600
 reason than we

00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:19.919
 for loving God.

00:18:20.859 --> 00:18:21.699
 Yet they express

00:18:21.699 --> 00:18:23.059
 a longing for Him,

00:18:23.379 --> 00:18:24.059
 for His mere

00:18:24.059 --> 00:18:24.659
 presence,

00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:25.699
 which comes only

00:18:25.699 --> 00:18:26.379
 to the best

00:18:26.379 --> 00:18:27.339
 Christians or to

00:18:27.339 --> 00:18:28.079
 Christians in

00:18:28.079 --> 00:18:29.519
 their best moments.

00:18:30.819 --> 00:18:31.559
 They long

00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:33.359
 to live all

00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:33.859
 their days

00:18:33.859 --> 00:18:34.339
 in the temple

00:18:34.339 --> 00:18:35.599
 so that they

00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:36.859
 may constantly

00:18:36.859 --> 00:18:37.679
 see the fair

00:18:37.679 --> 00:18:38.959
 beauty of the

00:18:38.959 --> 00:18:39.259
 Lord.

00:18:39.500 --> 00:18:40.139
 Psalm 27

00:18:40.139 --> 00:18:40.980
 in verse 4.

00:18:41.819 --> 00:18:42.419
 Their longing

00:18:42.419 --> 00:18:43.039
 to go up to

00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:43.799
 Jerusalem and

00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:44.480
 appear before

00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:45.199
 the presence of

00:18:45.199 --> 00:18:45.899
 God is like

00:18:45.899 --> 00:18:46.679
 a physical

00:18:46.679 --> 00:18:47.699
 thirst.

00:18:47.700 --> 00:18:48.920
 Psalm 42.

00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:50.960
 From Jerusalem

00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:52.019
 His presence

00:18:52.019 --> 00:18:53.220
 flashes out

00:18:53.220 --> 00:18:54.160
 in perfect

00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:55.100
 beauty.

00:18:55.360 --> 00:18:56.160
 Psalm 50

00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:57.160
 verse 2.

00:18:58.720 --> 00:18:59.120
 Lacking

00:18:59.120 --> 00:18:59.980
 that encounter

00:18:59.980 --> 00:19:00.440
 with Him,

00:19:00.860 --> 00:19:01.480
 their souls

00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:02.299
 are parched

00:19:02.299 --> 00:19:03.420
 like a waterless

00:19:03.420 --> 00:19:04.600
 countryside.

00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:06.279
 Psalm 63

00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:07.240
 verse 2.

00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:09.100
 They crave

00:19:09.100 --> 00:19:10.019
 to be satisfied

00:19:10.019 --> 00:19:11.380
 with the pleasures

00:19:11.380 --> 00:19:12.940
 of His house.

00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:14.299
 Psalm 65

00:19:14.299 --> 00:19:15.440
 and verse 4.

00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:17.400
 Only there

00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:18.140
 can they be

00:19:18.140 --> 00:19:18.799
 at ease

00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:19.519
 like a bird

00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:20.259
 in a nest.

00:19:20.420 --> 00:19:21.039
 Psalm 84

00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:22.120
 and verse 3.

00:19:23.080 --> 00:19:24.039
 One day

00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:24.940
 of those

00:19:24.940 --> 00:19:25.500
 pleasures

00:19:25.500 --> 00:19:26.120
 is better

00:19:26.120 --> 00:19:27.100
 than a lifetime

00:19:27.100 --> 00:19:28.320
 spent

00:19:28.320 --> 00:19:29.660
 elsewhere.

00:19:30.460 --> 00:19:31.059
 Psalm 20.

00:19:32.080 --> 00:19:32.340
 So,

00:19:32.580 --> 00:19:33.420
 they seem

00:19:33.420 --> 00:19:34.039
 to comprehend

00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:35.140
 these inspired

00:19:35.140 --> 00:19:36.320
 psalmists.

00:19:36.539 --> 00:19:37.880
 The beauty

00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:38.559
 of being

00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:39.539
 in the presence

00:19:39.539 --> 00:19:40.920
 of God

00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:41.340
 and they

00:19:41.340 --> 00:19:42.080
 tied it

00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:43.199
 to this

00:19:43.199 --> 00:19:44.599
 place.

00:19:45.460 --> 00:19:45.919
 Beloved,

00:19:46.019 --> 00:19:46.339
 we don't

00:19:46.339 --> 00:19:47.559
 have a place.

00:19:47.740 --> 00:19:48.399
 We are

00:19:48.399 --> 00:19:49.740
 a people.

00:19:50.819 --> 00:19:51.879
 Praise God

00:19:51.879 --> 00:19:52.379
 that He

00:19:52.379 --> 00:19:53.199
 now indwells

00:19:53.199 --> 00:19:53.759
 us

00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:54.819
 and gathers

00:19:54.819 --> 00:19:55.439
 us together

00:19:55.439 --> 00:19:56.240
 for times

00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:58.039
 such as this.

00:19:59.500 --> 00:20:00.179
 The law

00:20:00.179 --> 00:20:00.919
 could not

00:20:00.919 --> 00:20:02.000
 atone

00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:02.500
 for sin,

00:20:03.500 --> 00:20:03.799
 grant

00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:04.179
 a clean

00:20:04.179 --> 00:20:04.740
 conscience,

00:20:05.139 --> 00:20:06.139
 or provide

00:20:06.139 --> 00:20:06.839
 unfettered

00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:07.299
 access

00:20:07.299 --> 00:20:08.559
 to God.

00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:09.680
 The author

00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:10.019
 of Hebrews

00:20:10.019 --> 00:20:10.839
 makes this

00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:11.579
 point throughout

00:20:11.579 --> 00:20:12.339
 the letter.

00:20:13.079 --> 00:20:13.319
 The law

00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:13.740
 could not

00:20:13.740 --> 00:20:14.299
 atone

00:20:14.299 --> 00:20:15.779
 for sin,

00:20:15.980 --> 00:20:16.500
 could not

00:20:16.500 --> 00:20:17.099
 pay the

00:20:17.099 --> 00:20:17.700
 price

00:20:17.700 --> 00:20:18.399
 that was

00:20:18.399 --> 00:20:18.779
 due

00:20:18.779 --> 00:20:19.680
 our sin.

00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:20.639
 The law

00:20:20.639 --> 00:20:21.980
 makes us

00:20:21.980 --> 00:20:23.180
 painfully aware

00:20:23.180 --> 00:20:24.000
 that the price

00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:24.639
 needs to be

00:20:24.639 --> 00:20:25.019
 paid.

00:20:25.500 --> 00:20:26.119
 That none

00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:26.399
 of us

00:20:26.399 --> 00:20:27.240
 have perfectly

00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:27.700
 kept

00:20:27.700 --> 00:20:28.619
 the law

00:20:28.619 --> 00:20:28.980
 of God.

00:20:29.059 --> 00:20:29.299
 And it

00:20:29.299 --> 00:20:30.000
 is a good

00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:30.319
 law.

00:20:30.539 --> 00:20:30.980
 It is a

00:20:30.980 --> 00:20:31.399
 law that

00:20:31.399 --> 00:20:32.419
 ought to

00:20:32.419 --> 00:20:32.940
 be

00:20:32.940 --> 00:20:33.740
 commended

00:20:33.740 --> 00:20:34.319
 and

00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:35.480
 obeyed.

00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:36.240
 None

00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:36.700
 of us

00:20:36.700 --> 00:20:37.180
 have

00:20:37.180 --> 00:20:37.420
 kept

00:20:37.420 --> 00:20:37.640
 it.

00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:38.680
 Most

00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:39.039
 of us

00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:39.500
 have been

00:20:39.500 --> 00:20:39.799
 guilty

00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:40.480
 at every

00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:40.880
 point

00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:41.660
 of it.

00:20:42.740 --> 00:20:43.059
 And there's

00:20:43.059 --> 00:20:43.700
 a great

00:20:43.700 --> 00:20:45.099
 unfathomable

00:20:45.099 --> 00:20:45.859
 debt

00:20:45.859 --> 00:20:46.339
 that is

00:20:46.339 --> 00:20:46.660
 due

00:20:46.660 --> 00:20:47.359
 because we

00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:48.200
 are rebels

00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:48.720
 against the

00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:49.799
 most holy

00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:50.200
 God.

00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:51.120
 The law

00:20:51.120 --> 00:20:51.900
 serves us

00:20:51.900 --> 00:20:52.460
 in this

00:20:52.460 --> 00:20:52.819
 way.

00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:53.640
 It says

00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:54.039
 to us

00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:55.000
 you need

00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:56.200
 atonement.

00:20:56.680 --> 00:20:57.740
 There needs

00:20:57.740 --> 00:20:58.240
 to be

00:20:58.240 --> 00:20:59.120
 a penalty

00:20:59.120 --> 00:20:59.940
 paid

00:20:59.940 --> 00:21:01.259
 for your

00:21:01.259 --> 00:21:01.680
 rebellion.

00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:02.620
 But the

00:21:02.620 --> 00:21:02.920
 law

00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:03.640
 itself

00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:04.480
 could not

00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:05.559
 atone

00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:06.480
 for sin.

00:21:07.379 --> 00:21:07.700
 This

00:21:07.700 --> 00:21:08.319
 temple

00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:09.240
 practice,

00:21:09.480 --> 00:21:10.059
 this

00:21:10.059 --> 00:21:10.720
 Aaronic

00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:11.359
 priesthood

00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:12.099
 was all

00:21:12.099 --> 00:21:12.700
 about

00:21:12.700 --> 00:21:13.539
 making

00:21:13.539 --> 00:21:14.579
 atonement.

00:21:15.159 --> 00:21:15.639
 And it

00:21:15.639 --> 00:21:16.619
 was constant.

00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:17.099
 It was

00:21:17.099 --> 00:21:17.859
 always

00:21:17.859 --> 00:21:18.480
 ongoing.

00:21:18.980 --> 00:21:19.740
 Blood

00:21:19.740 --> 00:21:20.579
 flowed

00:21:20.579 --> 00:21:21.559
 constantly

00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:22.440
 off the

00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:22.740
 temple

00:21:22.740 --> 00:21:23.419
 mount.

00:21:23.679 --> 00:21:24.220
 Again

00:21:24.220 --> 00:21:25.099
 and again

00:21:25.099 --> 00:21:26.139
 and again.

00:21:26.859 --> 00:21:27.259
 There were

00:21:27.259 --> 00:21:27.839
 sacrifices

00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:28.659
 of all

00:21:28.659 --> 00:21:29.200
 kinds.

00:21:29.579 --> 00:21:29.759
 And there

00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:30.359
 were sacrifices

00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:31.019
 made for

00:21:31.019 --> 00:21:31.399
 the sins

00:21:31.399 --> 00:21:31.679
 that you

00:21:31.679 --> 00:21:31.980
 weren't even

00:21:31.980 --> 00:21:32.700
 aware that

00:21:32.700 --> 00:21:33.119
 you made.

00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:33.859
 It was

00:21:33.859 --> 00:21:34.339
 meant to

00:21:34.339 --> 00:21:34.719
 be a

00:21:34.719 --> 00:21:35.059
 system

00:21:35.059 --> 00:21:35.719
 built

00:21:35.719 --> 00:21:37.000
 to show

00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:37.459
 that there

00:21:37.459 --> 00:21:37.739
 was a

00:21:37.739 --> 00:21:38.159
 greater

00:21:38.159 --> 00:21:39.039
 sacrifice

00:21:39.039 --> 00:21:40.479
 necessary.

00:21:41.699 --> 00:21:41.919
 The author

00:21:41.919 --> 00:21:42.259
 of Hebrews

00:21:42.259 --> 00:21:42.839
 chapter 10

00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:43.379
 verse 4

00:21:43.379 --> 00:21:43.859
 says,

00:21:43.979 --> 00:21:44.159
 For it is

00:21:44.159 --> 00:21:44.719
 impossible

00:21:44.719 --> 00:21:45.739
 for the

00:21:45.739 --> 00:21:46.259
 blood of

00:21:46.259 --> 00:21:46.839
 bulls

00:21:46.839 --> 00:21:47.539
 and goats

00:21:47.539 --> 00:21:48.639
 to take

00:21:48.639 --> 00:21:49.359
 away sins.

00:21:49.859 --> 00:21:50.139
 And then

00:21:50.139 --> 00:21:50.739
 in verse 11

00:21:50.739 --> 00:21:51.399
 of chapter 10,

00:21:51.500 --> 00:21:51.959
 And every

00:21:51.959 --> 00:21:53.139
 priest stands

00:21:53.139 --> 00:21:54.039
 daily at

00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:54.539
 his service

00:21:54.539 --> 00:21:55.239
 offering

00:21:55.239 --> 00:21:56.019
 repeatedly

00:21:56.019 --> 00:21:57.119
 the same

00:21:57.119 --> 00:21:57.799
 sacrifices

00:21:57.799 --> 00:21:58.779
 which can

00:21:58.779 --> 00:21:59.199
 never

00:21:59.199 --> 00:22:00.559
 take away

00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:00.979
 sins.

00:22:00.980 --> 00:22:02.259
 being a

00:22:02.259 --> 00:22:02.599
 Levitical

00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:02.980
 priest

00:22:02.980 --> 00:22:03.380
 sounds

00:22:03.380 --> 00:22:04.259
 exhausting.

00:22:05.059 --> 00:22:05.660
 I feel like

00:22:05.660 --> 00:22:05.980
 at the end

00:22:05.980 --> 00:22:06.200
 of your

00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:06.680
 shift you

00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:06.880
 would just

00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:07.319
 be like,

00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:08.599
 What are

00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:09.279
 we doing?

00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:10.759
 We're going

00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:10.980
 to have to

00:22:10.980 --> 00:22:11.360
 pick it up

00:22:11.360 --> 00:22:11.839
 and do it

00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:13.380
 again tomorrow.

00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:14.440
 You would

00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:14.779
 have hoped

00:22:14.779 --> 00:22:15.140
 of all

00:22:15.140 --> 00:22:15.880
 people that

00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:16.380
 the Levitical

00:22:16.380 --> 00:22:17.019
 priests would

00:22:17.019 --> 00:22:18.099
 have been

00:22:18.099 --> 00:22:18.420
 in the

00:22:18.420 --> 00:22:19.079
 scripture and

00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:19.680
 been longing

00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:20.339
 for that

00:22:20.339 --> 00:22:21.319
 perfect

00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:22.079
 sacrifice

00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:23.140
 that would

00:22:23.140 --> 00:22:23.480
 take away

00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:23.980
 the sins

00:22:23.980 --> 00:22:23.980


00:22:24.700 --> 00:22:24.880
 Of the

00:22:24.880 --> 00:22:25.180
 world.

00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:25.960
 So the

00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:26.339
 law could

00:22:26.339 --> 00:22:26.660
 not atone

00:22:26.660 --> 00:22:26.980
 for sin.

00:22:27.059 --> 00:22:27.360
 The law

00:22:27.360 --> 00:22:28.920
 also could

00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:29.579
 not grant

00:22:29.579 --> 00:22:31.039
 a clean

00:22:31.039 --> 00:22:31.539
 conscience.

00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:32.099
 We won't

00:22:32.099 --> 00:22:32.559
 spend much

00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:33.579
 time talking

00:22:33.579 --> 00:22:34.079
 about and

00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:35.319
 thinking about

00:22:35.319 --> 00:22:35.740
 conscience.

00:22:36.699 --> 00:22:37.899
 But we

00:22:37.899 --> 00:22:38.859
 have experienced

00:22:38.859 --> 00:22:40.359
 a guilty

00:22:40.359 --> 00:22:41.059
 conscience.

00:22:41.619 --> 00:22:42.439
 We have

00:22:42.439 --> 00:22:43.159
 experienced

00:22:43.159 --> 00:22:44.419
 doing something

00:22:44.419 --> 00:22:44.859
 that was

00:22:44.859 --> 00:22:46.500
 offensive to

00:22:46.500 --> 00:22:47.480
 God and

00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:48.240
 carrying the

00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:49.500
 weight of

00:22:49.500 --> 00:22:50.599
 that offense.

00:22:51.419 --> 00:22:52.559
 The law

00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:53.859
 heaps guilt

00:22:53.859 --> 00:22:54.579
 on the

00:22:54.579 --> 00:22:55.099
 conscience

00:22:55.099 --> 00:22:56.720
 to drive us

00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:57.220
 to Christ.

00:22:57.439 --> 00:22:58.139
 It cannot

00:22:58.139 --> 00:22:59.460
 clean.

00:23:00.399 --> 00:23:00.519
 The

00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:00.980
 conscience.

00:23:02.099 --> 00:23:02.279
 Hebrews

00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:02.939
 chapter 9

00:23:02.939 --> 00:23:03.759
 last half

00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:04.379
 of verse

00:23:04.379 --> 00:23:05.519
 9 says

00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:06.399
 gifts and

00:23:06.399 --> 00:23:07.879
 sacrifices are

00:23:07.879 --> 00:23:09.220
 offered that

00:23:09.220 --> 00:23:10.299
 cannot perfect

00:23:10.299 --> 00:23:11.079
 the conscience

00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:12.439
 of the

00:23:12.439 --> 00:23:12.859
 worshiper.

00:23:14.740 --> 00:23:15.720
 Also the

00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:16.279
 law could

00:23:16.279 --> 00:23:17.279
 not provide

00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:19.099
 unfettered

00:23:19.099 --> 00:23:20.379
 access to

00:23:20.379 --> 00:23:20.679
 God.

00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:21.439
 And that's

00:23:21.439 --> 00:23:21.759
 the point

00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:22.359
 being made

00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:23.119
 in verse

00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:23.699
 11.

00:23:24.460 --> 00:23:24.839
 Now if

00:23:24.839 --> 00:23:25.659
 perfection had

00:23:25.659 --> 00:23:26.379
 been attainable

00:23:26.379 --> 00:23:26.720
 through the

00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:27.019
 Levitical

00:23:27.019 --> 00:23:27.559
 priesthood for

00:23:27.559 --> 00:23:28.599
 under it

00:23:28.599 --> 00:23:29.279
 the people

00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:31.159
 received the

00:23:31.159 --> 00:23:31.440
 law.

00:23:32.379 --> 00:23:33.039
 If it

00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:33.759
 could have

00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:35.200
 what further

00:23:35.200 --> 00:23:35.639
 need would

00:23:35.639 --> 00:23:35.940
 there have

00:23:35.940 --> 00:23:36.539
 been for

00:23:36.539 --> 00:23:37.579
 another priest

00:23:37.579 --> 00:23:38.500
 to arise

00:23:38.500 --> 00:23:39.539
 after the

00:23:39.539 --> 00:23:40.579
 order of

00:23:40.579 --> 00:23:41.220
 Melchizedek?

00:23:41.220 --> 00:23:42.119
 The law

00:23:42.119 --> 00:23:43.759
 also cannot

00:23:43.759 --> 00:23:44.720
 give us

00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:45.960
 unfettered

00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:47.579
 access to

00:23:47.579 --> 00:23:47.839
 God.

00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:49.960
 However,

00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:51.259
 praise the

00:23:51.259 --> 00:23:51.980
 Lord that

00:23:51.980 --> 00:23:52.480
 this text

00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:53.019
 speaks

00:23:53.019 --> 00:23:54.559
 secondly to

00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:55.279
 the sufficiency

00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:56.419
 of the

00:23:56.419 --> 00:23:57.159
 Melchizedekian

00:23:57.159 --> 00:23:57.700
 priesthood

00:23:57.700 --> 00:23:59.319
 and the

00:23:59.319 --> 00:23:59.779
 new covenant.

00:24:01.440 --> 00:24:02.000
 The Aaronic

00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:02.359
 and the

00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:02.720
 old

00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:04.099
 meant to

00:24:04.099 --> 00:24:04.579
 point us

00:24:04.579 --> 00:24:04.980
 to,

00:24:05.419 --> 00:24:06.220
 to make

00:24:06.220 --> 00:24:07.440
 us aware

00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:07.700
 of our

00:24:07.700 --> 00:24:08.899
 need of

00:24:08.899 --> 00:24:10.099
 the other.

00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:12.339
 Verse 15

00:24:12.339 --> 00:24:12.639
 through the

00:24:12.639 --> 00:24:12.899
 end of the

00:24:12.899 --> 00:24:13.200
 text.

00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:14.379
 This becomes

00:24:14.379 --> 00:24:14.919
 even more

00:24:14.919 --> 00:24:15.720
 evident when

00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:16.359
 another priest

00:24:16.359 --> 00:24:17.319
 arises in

00:24:17.319 --> 00:24:17.980
 the likeness

00:24:17.980 --> 00:24:18.960
 of Melchizedek

00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:19.819
 who has

00:24:19.819 --> 00:24:20.200
 become a

00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:20.639
 priest not

00:24:20.639 --> 00:24:20.839
 on the

00:24:20.839 --> 00:24:21.279
 basis of

00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:21.619
 a legal

00:24:21.619 --> 00:24:22.099
 requirement

00:24:22.099 --> 00:24:22.539
 concerning

00:24:22.539 --> 00:24:22.899
 bodily

00:24:22.899 --> 00:24:23.339
 descent,

00:24:23.339 --> 00:24:24.220
 but by

00:24:24.220 --> 00:24:24.779
 the power

00:24:24.779 --> 00:24:25.119
 of an

00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:25.879
 indestructible

00:24:25.879 --> 00:24:26.839
 life.

00:24:27.859 --> 00:24:28.279
 For it is

00:24:28.279 --> 00:24:28.879
 witnessed of

00:24:28.879 --> 00:24:29.179
 him,

00:24:29.259 --> 00:24:29.500
 this is

00:24:29.500 --> 00:24:30.299
 Psalm 110

00:24:30.299 --> 00:24:31.319
 verse 4,

00:24:31.879 --> 00:24:32.259
 you are a

00:24:32.259 --> 00:24:33.319
 priest forever

00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:34.339
 after the

00:24:34.339 --> 00:24:35.639
 order of

00:24:35.639 --> 00:24:36.279
 Melchizedek.

00:24:36.959 --> 00:24:37.720
 For on the

00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:38.439
 one hand,

00:24:38.539 --> 00:24:38.959
 a former

00:24:38.959 --> 00:24:39.379
 commandment

00:24:39.379 --> 00:24:39.599
 is set

00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:40.139
 aside because

00:24:40.139 --> 00:24:40.399
 of its

00:24:40.399 --> 00:24:40.839
 weakness

00:24:40.839 --> 00:24:42.079
 and uselessness,

00:24:42.299 --> 00:24:42.740
 for the

00:24:42.740 --> 00:24:43.299
 law made

00:24:43.299 --> 00:24:43.699
 nothing

00:24:43.699 --> 00:24:44.720
 perfect.

00:24:45.439 --> 00:24:45.839
 But on

00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:46.139
 the other

00:24:46.139 --> 00:24:46.379
 hand,

00:24:46.439 --> 00:24:46.740
 a better

00:24:46.740 --> 00:24:47.240
 hope is

00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:47.720
 introduced

00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:48.119
 through

00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:49.419
 which we

00:24:49.419 --> 00:24:49.899
 draw near

00:24:49.899 --> 00:24:50.899
 to God.

00:24:51.959 --> 00:24:52.519
 So remember

00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:53.099
 last week,

00:24:53.099 --> 00:24:53.500
 we talked

00:24:53.500 --> 00:24:53.699
 a bit

00:24:53.699 --> 00:24:54.019
 about

00:24:54.019 --> 00:24:54.419
 this

00:24:54.419 --> 00:24:55.859
 Melchizedek.

00:24:56.159 --> 00:24:57.099
 He is a

00:24:57.099 --> 00:24:57.980
 rather obscure

00:24:57.980 --> 00:24:59.019
 character in

00:24:59.019 --> 00:24:59.559
 the Bible.

00:24:59.980 --> 00:25:00.399
 We read

00:25:00.399 --> 00:25:00.899
 about him

00:25:00.899 --> 00:25:01.419
 in Genesis

00:25:01.419 --> 00:25:02.519
 chapter 14.

00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:03.439
 You can

00:25:03.439 --> 00:25:04.339
 get much

00:25:04.339 --> 00:25:04.639
 of that

00:25:04.639 --> 00:25:05.099
 information

00:25:05.099 --> 00:25:05.639
 right here

00:25:05.639 --> 00:25:05.859
 in the

00:25:05.859 --> 00:25:06.039
 beginning

00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:06.439
 of Hebrews

00:25:06.439 --> 00:25:07.839
 chapter 7.

00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:09.019
 Abraham

00:25:09.019 --> 00:25:09.639
 goes out,

00:25:10.219 --> 00:25:10.579
 fights a

00:25:10.579 --> 00:25:10.899
 battle.

00:25:11.139 --> 00:25:11.379
 On his

00:25:11.379 --> 00:25:11.819
 return from

00:25:11.819 --> 00:25:12.279
 that battle,

00:25:12.399 --> 00:25:12.839
 he meets

00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:13.419
 with this

00:25:13.419 --> 00:25:14.319
 priest king

00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:15.859
 Melchizedek

00:25:15.859 --> 00:25:16.619
 and he

00:25:16.619 --> 00:25:17.259
 offers to

00:25:17.259 --> 00:25:18.119
 him a

00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:18.619
 tithe

00:25:18.619 --> 00:25:19.619
 of his

00:25:19.619 --> 00:25:20.740
 spoils of

00:25:20.740 --> 00:25:21.019
 war.

00:25:21.019 --> 00:25:22.099
 And this

00:25:22.099 --> 00:25:22.980
 priest king

00:25:22.980 --> 00:25:24.039
 blesses

00:25:24.039 --> 00:25:24.980
 Abraham.

00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:26.220
 And then he

00:25:26.220 --> 00:25:26.879
 disappears

00:25:26.879 --> 00:25:27.740
 from the

00:25:27.740 --> 00:25:28.160
 pages of

00:25:28.160 --> 00:25:28.440
 scripture

00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:29.440
 until in

00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:30.339
 Psalm 110

00:25:30.339 --> 00:25:31.440
 and verse

00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:32.319
 4.

00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:33.799
 There's this

00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:34.539
 inspired

00:25:34.539 --> 00:25:36.400
 revelation

00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:37.059
 of who

00:25:37.059 --> 00:25:37.720
 Christ would

00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:38.119
 be,

00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:39.420
 where he

00:25:39.420 --> 00:25:39.700
 says,

00:25:39.799 --> 00:25:40.059
 you are a

00:25:40.059 --> 00:25:40.980
 priest forever

00:25:40.980 --> 00:25:42.099
 after the

00:25:42.099 --> 00:25:43.220
 order of

00:25:43.220 --> 00:25:43.660
 Melchizedek.

00:25:43.839 --> 00:25:44.059
 And I

00:25:44.059 --> 00:25:44.819
 praise God

00:25:44.819 --> 00:25:45.779
 for our

00:25:45.779 --> 00:25:46.619
 inspired text,

00:25:46.700 --> 00:25:46.879
 for the

00:25:46.879 --> 00:25:47.319
 New Testament

00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:47.680
 that gives

00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:48.559
 us so much

00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:49.399
 explanation of

00:25:49.399 --> 00:25:50.059
 the Old

00:25:50.059 --> 00:25:50.419
 Testament,

00:25:50.619 --> 00:25:50.980
 that the

00:25:50.980 --> 00:25:51.579
 writer of

00:25:51.579 --> 00:25:52.259
 Hebrews

00:25:52.259 --> 00:25:53.659
 was shown

00:25:53.659 --> 00:25:54.379
 what all

00:25:54.379 --> 00:25:54.819
 of this

00:25:54.819 --> 00:25:56.339
 means for

00:25:56.339 --> 00:25:56.700
 us.

00:25:57.419 --> 00:25:57.559
 It's

00:25:57.559 --> 00:25:57.980
 incredible.

00:25:59.220 --> 00:25:59.599
 So remember

00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:00.319
 that Melchizedek

00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:00.899
 foreshadows

00:26:00.899 --> 00:26:01.839
 Christ's

00:26:01.839 --> 00:26:02.279
 offices,

00:26:02.539 --> 00:26:03.000
 the offices

00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:04.339
 of king

00:26:04.339 --> 00:26:05.919
 and of

00:26:05.919 --> 00:26:06.399
 priest.

00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:08.259
 Verse 2

00:26:08.259 --> 00:26:09.079
 chapter 7.

00:26:09.179 --> 00:26:10.379
 He is first

00:26:10.379 --> 00:26:11.099
 by translation

00:26:11.099 --> 00:26:11.500
 of his

00:26:11.500 --> 00:26:11.879
 name,

00:26:12.139 --> 00:26:12.399
 king of

00:26:12.399 --> 00:26:12.859
 Melchizedek,

00:26:12.940 --> 00:26:13.279
 king of

00:26:13.279 --> 00:26:13.679
 righteousness,

00:26:14.460 --> 00:26:14.960
 and then he

00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:15.460
 is also

00:26:15.460 --> 00:26:15.980
 king of

00:26:15.980 --> 00:26:16.279
 Salem.

00:26:16.399 --> 00:26:17.200
 That is

00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:19.539
 king of

00:26:19.539 --> 00:26:20.160
 peace.

00:26:21.360 --> 00:26:23.360
 He, being

00:26:23.360 --> 00:26:24.000
 Melchizedek,

00:26:24.580 --> 00:26:25.360
 foreshadowing

00:26:25.360 --> 00:26:27.500
 Christ, was

00:26:27.500 --> 00:26:27.940
 one who

00:26:27.940 --> 00:26:28.440
 could hold

00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:29.559
 both offices.

00:26:30.460 --> 00:26:30.779
 And the

00:26:30.779 --> 00:26:31.759
 Levitical priests

00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:32.400
 could not be

00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:32.920
 kings, and

00:26:32.920 --> 00:26:33.460
 kings most

00:26:33.460 --> 00:26:33.940
 certainly could

00:26:33.940 --> 00:26:34.400
 not be

00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:35.100
 Levitical

00:26:35.100 --> 00:26:35.840
 priests.

00:26:35.940 --> 00:26:36.559
 Much judgment

00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:37.180
 was brought

00:26:37.180 --> 00:26:37.840
 upon kings

00:26:37.840 --> 00:26:38.340
 who tried to

00:26:38.340 --> 00:26:39.680
 serve in

00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:40.259
 that role.

00:26:40.940 --> 00:26:41.600
 So they're

00:26:41.600 --> 00:26:42.880
 unique, and

00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:43.920
 they're appointed

00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:45.039
 uniquely.

00:26:46.259 --> 00:26:46.740
 Secondly,

00:26:46.740 --> 00:26:47.200
 Melchizedek

00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:47.640
 foreshadows

00:26:47.640 --> 00:26:48.519
 Christ's

00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:49.180
 qualifications.

00:26:50.079 --> 00:26:50.859
 He had

00:26:50.859 --> 00:26:51.859
 no genealogy,

00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:52.500
 that is no

00:26:52.500 --> 00:26:53.819
 genealogy by

00:26:53.819 --> 00:26:54.319
 which to

00:26:54.319 --> 00:26:55.240
 show himself

00:26:55.240 --> 00:26:56.240
 a Levitical

00:26:56.240 --> 00:26:56.640
 priest.

00:26:56.740 --> 00:26:56.920
 He was

00:26:56.920 --> 00:26:57.200
 from the

00:26:57.200 --> 00:26:58.160
 line of

00:26:58.160 --> 00:26:58.420
 Judah.

00:26:59.240 --> 00:26:59.720
 Verse 3,

00:26:59.779 --> 00:26:59.960
 he is

00:26:59.960 --> 00:27:00.620
 without father

00:27:00.620 --> 00:27:01.200
 or mother

00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:02.220
 or genealogy.

00:27:02.359 --> 00:27:02.559
 We have

00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:03.140
 no record

00:27:03.140 --> 00:27:03.680
 of this

00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:04.599
 in the

00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:05.079
 text about

00:27:05.079 --> 00:27:05.740
 Melchizedek,

00:27:05.960 --> 00:27:06.859
 and has

00:27:06.859 --> 00:27:07.620
 no beginning

00:27:07.620 --> 00:27:08.720
 or end.

00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:09.039
 Again,

00:27:09.180 --> 00:27:09.460
 interpreting

00:27:09.460 --> 00:27:10.160
 from silence,

00:27:10.380 --> 00:27:11.180
 we know

00:27:11.180 --> 00:27:11.839
 not anything

00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:12.220
 about

00:27:12.220 --> 00:27:12.859
 Melchizedek's

00:27:12.859 --> 00:27:13.160
 beginning

00:27:13.160 --> 00:27:14.440
 or end,

00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:14.700
 and this

00:27:14.700 --> 00:27:14.940
 is meant

00:27:14.940 --> 00:27:15.279
 to show

00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:15.500
 us

00:27:15.500 --> 00:27:16.039
 something

00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:16.779
 of

00:27:16.779 --> 00:27:17.839
 Christ.

00:27:18.220 --> 00:27:18.319
 Right?

00:27:18.779 --> 00:27:19.519
 But resembling

00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:19.819
 the Son

00:27:19.819 --> 00:27:20.319
 of God,

00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:21.119
 verse 3,

00:27:21.500 --> 00:27:22.279
 he continues

00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:23.539
 a priest

00:27:23.539 --> 00:27:25.039
 forever.

00:27:25.899 --> 00:27:26.379
 And in

00:27:26.379 --> 00:27:26.759
 our text

00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:27.180
 today,

00:27:27.319 --> 00:27:27.779
 this is

00:27:27.779 --> 00:27:28.139
 where the

00:27:28.139 --> 00:27:28.740
 author is

00:27:28.740 --> 00:27:29.839
 still going.

00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:30.119
 That's why

00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:30.599
 I'm reminding

00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:31.139
 you of

00:27:31.139 --> 00:27:31.559
 this.

00:27:32.059 --> 00:27:32.460
 Because in

00:27:32.460 --> 00:27:33.500
 verse 16

00:27:33.500 --> 00:27:34.759
 and 17,

00:27:35.220 --> 00:27:35.639
 he's making

00:27:35.639 --> 00:27:36.259
 that point

00:27:36.259 --> 00:27:37.119
 once again.

00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:37.759
 Right?

00:27:38.019 --> 00:27:38.440
 He didn't

00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:38.859
 become a

00:27:38.859 --> 00:27:39.379
 priest on

00:27:39.379 --> 00:27:39.720
 the basis

00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:40.160
 of a legal

00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:40.839
 requirement

00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:41.920
 from the

00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:42.660
 old covenant,

00:27:42.660 --> 00:27:44.380
 but by

00:27:44.380 --> 00:27:45.040
 the power

00:27:45.040 --> 00:27:45.380
 of an

00:27:45.380 --> 00:27:46.240
 indestructible

00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:47.259
 life.

00:27:47.580 --> 00:27:47.600
 Right?

00:27:47.779 --> 00:27:48.259
 Put to death

00:27:48.259 --> 00:27:48.840
 on the cross

00:27:48.840 --> 00:27:49.460
 but raised

00:27:49.460 --> 00:27:49.860
 again

00:27:49.860 --> 00:27:51.120
 three days

00:27:51.120 --> 00:27:51.480
 later.

00:27:51.759 --> 00:27:52.120
 He's a

00:27:52.120 --> 00:27:52.779
 priest

00:27:52.779 --> 00:27:54.019
 forever,

00:27:54.279 --> 00:27:55.160
 verse 17,

00:27:55.380 --> 00:27:56.200
 quoting Psalm

00:27:56.200 --> 00:27:56.680
 110,

00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:57.500
 verse 4.

00:27:57.880 --> 00:27:58.560
 A priest

00:27:58.560 --> 00:27:59.680
 forever

00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:00.640
 after the

00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:00.940
 order

00:28:00.940 --> 00:28:02.560
 of Melchizedek.

00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:03.880
 So

00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:05.019
 significant.

00:28:06.080 --> 00:28:06.620
 Which is the

00:28:06.620 --> 00:28:07.000
 third thing

00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:07.519
 that Melchizedek

00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:08.080
 foreshadows

00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:08.500
 for us

00:28:08.500 --> 00:28:09.259
 about Christ.

00:28:09.419 --> 00:28:10.500
 Christ's

00:28:10.500 --> 00:28:11.099
 superiority

00:28:11.099 --> 00:28:12.539
 over

00:28:12.539 --> 00:28:13.399
 Abraham,

00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:14.480
 over

00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:15.039
 Melchizedek,

00:28:15.220 --> 00:28:15.480
 over

00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:16.519
 all.

00:28:17.799 --> 00:28:18.240
 We see

00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:18.539
 that the

00:28:18.539 --> 00:28:18.980
 inferior

00:28:18.980 --> 00:28:19.579
 tithes

00:28:19.579 --> 00:28:19.799
 to the

00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:20.119
 superior

00:28:20.119 --> 00:28:21.059
 and secondly

00:28:21.059 --> 00:28:21.740
 the superior

00:28:21.740 --> 00:28:22.779
 blesses

00:28:22.779 --> 00:28:23.960
 the inferior

00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:24.960
 verses 4

00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:26.279
 through 7.

00:28:26.740 --> 00:28:27.319
 All of

00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:27.659
 this is

00:28:27.659 --> 00:28:28.679
 driving us

00:28:28.679 --> 00:28:29.399
 to understand

00:28:29.399 --> 00:28:30.119
 the superiority

00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:31.659
 of Jesus

00:28:31.659 --> 00:28:32.119
 Christ.

00:28:32.859 --> 00:28:33.000
 So

00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:33.339
 Jesus

00:28:33.339 --> 00:28:33.799
 Christ,

00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:34.119
 our

00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:34.659
 forever

00:28:34.659 --> 00:28:35.699
 perfect

00:28:35.699 --> 00:28:36.419
 priest,

00:28:36.420 --> 00:28:37.759
 atones

00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:38.259
 for sin,

00:28:38.900 --> 00:28:39.700
 he grants

00:28:39.700 --> 00:28:40.300
 a clean

00:28:40.300 --> 00:28:40.840
 conscience,

00:28:41.539 --> 00:28:42.120
 and he

00:28:42.120 --> 00:28:42.720
 provides

00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:43.980
 unfettered

00:28:43.980 --> 00:28:44.420
 access

00:28:44.420 --> 00:28:46.060
 to God.

00:28:46.820 --> 00:28:47.680
 Why would

00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:47.960
 you go

00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:48.360
 back to

00:28:48.360 --> 00:28:48.880
 the old

00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:49.140
 is what

00:28:49.140 --> 00:28:49.440
 the author

00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:49.880
 of Hebrews

00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:50.560
 is saying.

00:28:50.980 --> 00:28:51.440
 Why would

00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:51.860
 you do

00:28:51.860 --> 00:28:52.259
 that?

00:28:52.380 --> 00:28:52.740
 It was

00:28:52.740 --> 00:28:53.660
 insufficient.

00:28:54.660 --> 00:28:54.880
 But

00:28:54.880 --> 00:28:55.440
 Christ

00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:56.920
 is sufficient.

00:28:58.820 --> 00:28:59.240
 Jesus

00:28:59.240 --> 00:28:59.759
 Christ

00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:00.820
 atones

00:29:00.820 --> 00:29:02.360
 for sin.

00:29:03.180 --> 00:29:03.460
 Hebrews

00:29:03.460 --> 00:29:03.740
 chapter

00:29:03.740 --> 00:29:04.180
 10

00:29:04.180 --> 00:29:04.840
 verses

00:29:04.840 --> 00:29:05.440
 12

00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:06.480
 14

00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:08.160
 when

00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:08.559
 Christ

00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:08.720
 had

00:29:08.720 --> 00:29:09.039
 offered

00:29:09.039 --> 00:29:09.259
 for

00:29:09.259 --> 00:29:09.559
 all

00:29:09.559 --> 00:29:10.080
 time

00:29:10.080 --> 00:29:10.860
 a

00:29:10.860 --> 00:29:11.400
 single

00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:12.420
 sacrifice

00:29:12.420 --> 00:29:13.380
 for

00:29:13.380 --> 00:29:13.900
 sins.

00:29:14.759 --> 00:29:14.860
 He

00:29:14.860 --> 00:29:15.080
 sat

00:29:15.080 --> 00:29:15.360
 down

00:29:15.360 --> 00:29:15.460
 at

00:29:15.460 --> 00:29:15.559
 the

00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:15.740
 right

00:29:15.740 --> 00:29:16.120
 hand

00:29:16.120 --> 00:29:16.400
 of

00:29:16.400 --> 00:29:16.740
 God

00:29:16.740 --> 00:29:17.660
 waiting

00:29:17.660 --> 00:29:17.880
 from

00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:18.059
 that

00:29:18.059 --> 00:29:18.380
 time

00:29:18.380 --> 00:29:18.600
 until

00:29:18.600 --> 00:29:18.820
 his

00:29:18.820 --> 00:29:19.100
 enemy

00:29:19.100 --> 00:29:19.320
 should

00:29:19.320 --> 00:29:19.420
 be

00:29:19.420 --> 00:29:19.559
 made

00:29:19.559 --> 00:29:19.700
 a

00:29:19.700 --> 00:29:20.200
 footstool

00:29:20.200 --> 00:29:20.920
 for

00:29:20.920 --> 00:29:21.140
 his

00:29:21.140 --> 00:29:21.500
 feet.

00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:22.320
 For

00:29:22.320 --> 00:29:22.559
 by

00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:22.820
 a

00:29:22.820 --> 00:29:23.240
 single

00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:23.779
 offering

00:29:23.779 --> 00:29:24.059
 he

00:29:24.059 --> 00:29:24.200
 has

00:29:24.200 --> 00:29:24.920
 perfected

00:29:24.920 --> 00:29:25.380
 for

00:29:25.380 --> 00:29:25.759
 all

00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:26.279
 time

00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:27.360
 those

00:29:27.360 --> 00:29:27.500
 who

00:29:27.500 --> 00:29:27.580
 are

00:29:27.580 --> 00:29:27.940
 being

00:29:27.940 --> 00:29:29.120
 sanctified.

00:29:29.600 --> 00:29:29.960
 So

00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:30.180
 here

00:29:30.180 --> 00:29:30.500
 again

00:29:30.500 --> 00:29:30.660
 is

00:29:30.660 --> 00:29:30.820
 this

00:29:30.820 --> 00:29:31.299
 idea

00:29:31.299 --> 00:29:31.799
 of

00:29:31.799 --> 00:29:32.759
 perfection.

00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:33.940
 Having

00:29:33.940 --> 00:29:34.220
 the

00:29:34.220 --> 00:29:34.799
 ability

00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:35.159
 because

00:29:35.159 --> 00:29:35.339
 we

00:29:35.339 --> 00:29:35.500
 have

00:29:35.500 --> 00:29:36.099
 Christ's

00:29:36.099 --> 00:29:36.460
 righteousness

00:29:36.460 --> 00:29:36.740
 to

00:29:36.740 --> 00:29:37.159
 draw

00:29:37.159 --> 00:29:37.899
 near

00:29:37.899 --> 00:29:38.659
 to

00:29:38.659 --> 00:29:39.079
 God.

00:29:39.619 --> 00:29:39.960
 And

00:29:39.960 --> 00:29:40.180
 by

00:29:40.180 --> 00:29:40.680
 what?

00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:41.559
 What

00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:42.419
 atones

00:29:42.419 --> 00:29:42.680
 for

00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:42.960
 our

00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:43.500
 sin

00:29:43.500 --> 00:29:43.980
 in

00:29:43.980 --> 00:29:44.599
 order

00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:45.500
 to

00:29:45.500 --> 00:29:45.700
 bring

00:29:45.700 --> 00:29:45.819
 us

00:29:45.819 --> 00:29:45.940
 to

00:29:45.940 --> 00:29:46.279
 God?

00:29:46.839 --> 00:29:47.240
 The

00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:47.919
 sacrifice

00:29:47.919 --> 00:29:48.899
 of

00:29:48.899 --> 00:29:49.359
 Christ.

00:29:50.220 --> 00:29:50.440
 A

00:29:50.440 --> 00:29:51.000
 single

00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:51.819
 sacrifice.

00:29:52.299 --> 00:29:52.539
 Not

00:29:52.539 --> 00:29:53.059
 continued

00:29:53.059 --> 00:29:53.639
 sacrifice.

00:29:54.119 --> 00:29:54.259
 Not

00:29:54.259 --> 00:29:54.720
 all

00:29:54.720 --> 00:29:55.200
 day

00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:55.879
 never

00:29:55.879 --> 00:29:56.399
 ending

00:29:56.399 --> 00:29:57.379
 sacrifice.

00:29:58.059 --> 00:29:58.440
 But

00:29:58.440 --> 00:29:58.639
 a

00:29:58.639 --> 00:29:59.299
 single

00:29:59.299 --> 00:30:00.399
 sacrifice.

00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:01.060
 He

00:30:01.060 --> 00:30:01.380
 offered

00:30:01.380 --> 00:30:01.900
 himself

00:30:01.900 --> 00:30:02.700
 as

00:30:02.700 --> 00:30:03.000
 a

00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:03.940
 perfect

00:30:03.940 --> 00:30:04.620
 sacrifice

00:30:04.620 --> 00:30:04.960
 that

00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:05.140
 we

00:30:05.140 --> 00:30:05.400
 might

00:30:05.400 --> 00:30:05.580
 be

00:30:05.580 --> 00:30:06.120
 perfect

00:30:06.120 --> 00:30:07.100
 in

00:30:07.100 --> 00:30:07.480
 him.

00:30:08.280 --> 00:30:08.480
 And

00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:08.600
 the

00:30:08.600 --> 00:30:08.820
 last

00:30:08.820 --> 00:30:09.019
 half

00:30:09.019 --> 00:30:09.140
 of

00:30:09.140 --> 00:30:09.280
 verse

00:30:09.280 --> 00:30:09.519
 12

00:30:09.519 --> 00:30:09.680
 is

00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:09.880
 so

00:30:09.880 --> 00:30:10.340
 significant

00:30:10.340 --> 00:30:10.860
 because

00:30:10.860 --> 00:30:11.480
 the

00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:11.759
 temple

00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:12.400
 had

00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:12.860
 nowhere

00:30:12.860 --> 00:30:13.900
 to

00:30:13.900 --> 00:30:14.060
 sit

00:30:14.060 --> 00:30:14.400
 down.

00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:15.100
 There

00:30:15.100 --> 00:30:15.240
 was

00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:15.460
 no

00:30:15.460 --> 00:30:15.980
 sitting

00:30:15.980 --> 00:30:16.480
 furniture

00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:16.780
 for

00:30:16.780 --> 00:30:16.880
 the

00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:17.240
 Levitical

00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:17.720
 priests.

00:30:18.140 --> 00:30:18.420
 Why?

00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:19.740
 Because

00:30:19.740 --> 00:30:19.920
 they

00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:20.120
 didn't

00:30:20.120 --> 00:30:20.320
 have

00:30:20.320 --> 00:30:20.680
 time

00:30:20.680 --> 00:30:20.860
 to

00:30:20.860 --> 00:30:21.000
 sit

00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:21.400
 down.

00:30:22.040 --> 00:30:22.340
 When

00:30:22.340 --> 00:30:22.480
 they

00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:22.620
 were

00:30:22.620 --> 00:30:22.940
 working

00:30:22.940 --> 00:30:23.220
 their

00:30:23.220 --> 00:30:23.880
 shift

00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:24.560
 they

00:30:24.560 --> 00:30:24.700
 were

00:30:24.700 --> 00:30:25.240
 busy

00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:26.220
 making

00:30:26.220 --> 00:30:26.820
 sacrifice

00:30:26.820 --> 00:30:27.200
 making

00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:27.820
 sacrifice

00:30:27.820 --> 00:30:28.200
 making

00:30:28.200 --> 00:30:28.940
 sacrifice

00:30:28.940 --> 00:30:30.320
 sins

00:30:30.320 --> 00:30:30.900
 piling

00:30:30.900 --> 00:30:31.299
 up

00:30:31.299 --> 00:30:32.259
 sacrifices

00:30:32.259 --> 00:30:32.840
 being

00:30:32.840 --> 00:30:33.440
 made.

00:30:33.539 --> 00:30:33.559
 It

00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:33.680
 was

00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:34.380
 never

00:30:34.380 --> 00:30:35.400
 enough

00:30:35.400 --> 00:30:35.840
 because

00:30:35.840 --> 00:30:36.019
 it

00:30:36.019 --> 00:30:36.279
 wasn't

00:30:36.279 --> 00:30:36.620
 meant

00:30:36.620 --> 00:30:36.779
 to

00:30:36.779 --> 00:30:37.019
 be.

00:30:38.200 --> 00:30:38.400
 It

00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:38.480
 was

00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:38.620
 meant

00:30:38.620 --> 00:30:38.759
 to

00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:39.000
 point

00:30:39.000 --> 00:30:39.200
 us

00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:39.500
 to

00:30:39.500 --> 00:30:39.620
 the

00:30:39.620 --> 00:30:39.980
 perfect

00:30:39.980 --> 00:30:40.820
 sacrifice

00:30:40.820 --> 00:30:41.480
 of

00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:41.860
 Christ.

00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:42.059
 So

00:30:42.059 --> 00:30:42.140
 the

00:30:42.140 --> 00:30:42.340
 last

00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:43.140

00:30:43.140 --> 00:30:43.700
 says

00:30:43.700 --> 00:30:44.180
 he

00:30:44.180 --> 00:30:45.039
 sat

00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:46.420
 down.

00:30:47.180 --> 00:30:47.480
 We

00:30:47.480 --> 00:30:47.840
 know

00:30:47.840 --> 00:30:48.100
 he

 it

00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:49.680
 is

00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:50.960
 finished

00:30:50.960 --> 00:30:51.840
 and

00:30:51.840 --> 00:30:51.960
 he

00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:52.299
 sat

00:30:52.299 --> 00:30:52.860
 down

00:30:52.860 --> 00:30:53.039
 at

00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:53.140
 the

00:30:54.080 --> 00:30:54.279
 of

00:30:54.279 --> 00:30:54.820
 honor

00:30:54.820 --> 00:30:55.960
 of

00:30:55.960 --> 00:30:56.320
 God

00:30:56.320 --> 00:30:57.000
 the

00:30:57.000 --> 00:30:57.320
 Father.

00:30:58.059 --> 00:30:58.460
 One

00:30:58.460 --> 00:30:59.200
 sacrifice

00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:00.340
 for

00:31:00.340 --> 00:31:00.819
 all.

00:31:02.220 --> 00:31:02.579
 First

 Peter

00:31:03.779 --> 00:31:04.039
 four

00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:04.340

00:31:04.500 --> 00:31:04.819
 same

00:31:05.920 --> 00:31:06.700
 bore

00:31:06.700 --> 00:31:07.019
 our

00:31:07.019 --> 00:31:07.420
 sins

00:31:07.420 --> 00:31:07.640
 in

00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:07.799
 his

00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:08.200
 body

00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:09.100
 on

00:31:09.100 --> 00:31:09.240
 the

00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:09.579
 tree.

00:31:10.140 --> 00:31:10.579
 He

00:31:10.579 --> 00:31:10.759
 took

00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:10.900
 the

00:31:10.900 --> 00:31:11.220
 punishment

00:31:11.220 --> 00:31:11.420

00:31:11.539 --> 00:31:11.740
 due

00:31:11.740 --> 00:31:12.120
 us.

00:31:12.279 --> 00:31:12.360
 He

00:31:12.360 --> 00:31:12.579
 took

00:31:12.579 --> 00:31:12.700
 it

00:31:12.700 --> 00:31:12.920
 on

00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:13.319

00:31:13.440 --> 00:31:13.600
 God

00:31:13.600 --> 00:31:13.920
 couldn't

00:31:13.920 --> 00:31:14.400
 overlook

00:31:14.400 --> 00:31:14.700
 the

00:31:14.700 --> 00:31:14.960
 sin.

00:31:15.059 --> 00:31:15.160

 we

00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:19.740
 might

 The

00:31:34.579 --> 00:31:34.940
 this.

00:31:35.340 --> 00:31:35.460
 It

00:31:35.460 --> 00:31:35.819
 points

00:32:08.140 --> 00:32:08.700
 What a

00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:10.160
 it is

00:32:10.160 --> 00:32:11.279
 that if

 we are

 its

 ugly

00:32:20.540 --> 00:32:21.120
 head.

00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:22.719
 we

00:32:22.719 --> 00:32:23.259
 forget

00:32:23.259 --> 00:32:23.519
 who

00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:23.719
 we

00:32:23.719 --> 00:32:24.059
 are

00:32:24.059 --> 00:32:24.399
 in

00:32:24.399 --> 00:32:24.739
 Jesus

00:32:24.739 --> 00:32:25.139
 and

00:32:25.139 --> 00:32:25.379
 we

00:32:25.379 --> 00:32:25.879
 still

00:32:25.879 --> 00:32:26.959
 sin

00:32:26.959 --> 00:32:28.179
 that

00:32:28.179 --> 00:32:28.579
 that

00:32:28.579 --> 00:32:29.019
 sin

00:32:29.019 --> 00:32:29.259
 was

00:32:29.259 --> 00:32:29.939
 also

00:32:29.939 --> 00:32:30.579
 covered

00:32:30.579 --> 00:32:31.539
 by

00:32:31.539 --> 00:32:31.659
 the

00:32:31.659 --> 00:32:31.799
 blood

00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:31.959
 of

00:32:31.959 --> 00:32:32.299
 Christ.

00:32:33.299 --> 00:32:33.819
 Brother,

00:32:33.919 --> 00:32:34.179
 we don't

00:32:34.179 --> 00:32:34.439
 need to

00:32:34.439 --> 00:32:34.599
 do

00:32:34.599 --> 00:32:35.319
 penance.

00:32:35.699 --> 00:32:35.859
 We

00:32:35.859 --> 00:32:36.059
 merely

00:32:36.059 --> 00:32:36.239
 need

00:32:36.239 --> 00:32:36.299
 to

00:32:36.299 --> 00:32:36.459
 do

00:32:36.459 --> 00:32:36.959
 repentance.

00:32:38.500 --> 00:32:38.699
 And

00:32:38.699 --> 00:32:39.059
 repentance

00:32:39.059 --> 00:32:39.519
 when we

00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:39.759
 sin

00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:40.059
 is a

00:32:40.059 --> 00:32:40.299
 merely

00:32:40.299 --> 00:32:40.719
 going

00:32:40.719 --> 00:32:41.139
 that

00:32:41.139 --> 00:32:41.359
 was

00:32:41.359 --> 00:32:41.819
 sin.

00:32:42.500 --> 00:32:42.839
 Praise

00:32:42.839 --> 00:32:43.359
 God

00:32:43.359 --> 00:32:43.519
 for

00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:43.619
 the

00:32:43.619 --> 00:32:43.919
 cross

00:32:43.919 --> 00:32:44.699
 of

00:32:44.699 --> 00:32:45.059
 Christ.

00:32:46.099 --> 00:32:46.500
 Many

00:32:46.500 --> 00:32:46.839
 of us

00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:46.979
 who

00:32:46.979 --> 00:32:47.259
 take

00:32:47.259 --> 00:32:47.639
 sin

00:32:47.639 --> 00:32:48.259
 seriously

00:32:48.259 --> 00:32:49.579
 want

00:32:49.579 --> 00:32:49.699
 to

00:32:49.699 --> 00:32:49.919
 spend

00:32:49.919 --> 00:32:50.079
 a

00:32:50.079 --> 00:32:50.319
 period

00:32:50.319 --> 00:32:50.479
 of

00:32:50.479 --> 00:32:50.919
 time

00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:51.820
 mourning

00:32:51.820 --> 00:32:53.100
 our

00:32:53.100 --> 00:32:53.500
 sinfulness.

00:32:54.279 --> 00:32:54.720
 We

00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:54.880
 want

00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:54.960
 to

00:32:54.960 --> 00:32:55.140
 spend

00:32:55.140 --> 00:32:55.480
 much

00:32:55.480 --> 00:32:56.060
 time

00:32:56.060 --> 00:32:57.640
 beating

00:32:57.640 --> 00:32:58.180
 ourselves

00:32:58.180 --> 00:32:58.640
 up

00:32:58.640 --> 00:32:59.460
 over

00:32:59.460 --> 00:32:59.759
 what

00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:00.039
 we

00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:00.400
 have

00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:01.519
 done.

00:33:02.340 --> 00:33:02.620
 And

00:33:02.620 --> 00:33:02.800
 I've

00:33:02.800 --> 00:33:02.920
 been

00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:03.140
 asked

00:33:03.140 --> 00:33:03.320
 the

00:33:03.320 --> 00:33:03.680
 question,

00:33:03.860 --> 00:33:04.019
 how

00:33:04.019 --> 00:33:04.940
 long

00:33:04.940 --> 00:33:05.279
 should

00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:05.500
 I

00:33:05.500 --> 00:33:05.920
 mourn

00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:05.900
!

00:33:06.460 --> 00:33:06.880
 my

00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:07.340
 sin?

00:33:08.420 --> 00:33:08.880
 My

00:33:08.880 --> 00:33:09.160
 answer

00:33:09.160 --> 00:33:09.620
 is only

00:33:09.620 --> 00:33:10.060
 as long

00:33:10.060 --> 00:33:10.279
 as it

00:33:10.279 --> 00:33:10.480
 takes

00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:10.740
 to get

00:33:10.740 --> 00:33:10.860
 you

00:33:10.860 --> 00:33:11.120
 back

00:33:11.120 --> 00:33:11.240
 to

00:33:11.240 --> 00:33:11.340
 the

00:33:11.340 --> 00:33:11.560
 cross

00:33:11.560 --> 00:33:11.700
 of

00:33:11.700 --> 00:33:12.160
 Christ.

00:33:13.340 --> 00:33:13.800
 Flee

00:33:13.800 --> 00:33:14.240
 to it

00:33:14.240 --> 00:33:14.660
 and flee

00:33:14.660 --> 00:33:15.279
 as fast

00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:15.580
 as you

00:33:15.580 --> 00:33:16.039
 can.

00:33:17.300 --> 00:33:17.500
 Mourn

00:33:17.500 --> 00:33:17.860
 the sin

00:33:17.860 --> 00:33:18.140
 on your

00:33:18.140 --> 00:33:18.380
 way

00:33:18.380 --> 00:33:18.779
 there,

00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:18.960
 but

00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:19.120
 when

00:33:19.120 --> 00:33:19.300
 you're

00:33:19.300 --> 00:33:19.860
 there,

00:33:19.859 --> 00:33:20.799
 recognize

00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:21.740
 that this

00:33:21.740 --> 00:33:22.399
 too

00:33:22.399 --> 00:33:23.619
 was covered

00:33:23.619 --> 00:33:24.339
 by the

00:33:24.339 --> 00:33:24.659
 blood of

00:33:24.659 --> 00:33:25.039
 Christ.

00:33:25.919 --> 00:33:26.279
 Have your

00:33:26.279 --> 00:33:26.899
 conscience

00:33:26.899 --> 00:33:28.139
 made clean.

00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:29.019
 Don't

00:33:29.019 --> 00:33:29.740
 bear the

00:33:29.740 --> 00:33:30.339
 guilt that's

00:33:30.339 --> 00:33:30.939
 not years

00:33:30.939 --> 00:33:31.519
 to bear

00:33:31.519 --> 00:33:32.279
 that Christ

00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:32.859
 died

00:33:32.859 --> 00:33:34.500
 for you.

00:33:35.819 --> 00:33:36.539
 Jesus Christ

00:33:36.539 --> 00:33:37.000
 grants

00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:38.000
 a clean

00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:38.500
 conscience.

00:33:39.899 --> 00:33:40.740
 The law

00:33:40.740 --> 00:33:41.439
 could not

00:33:41.439 --> 00:33:42.159
 do this.

00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:43.559
 I

00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:44.019
 imagine

00:33:44.019 --> 00:33:45.099
 going through

00:33:45.099 --> 00:33:46.119
 the ritual

00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:47.119
 practice of it,

00:33:47.119 --> 00:33:49.439
 living

00:33:49.439 --> 00:33:49.719
 living in

00:33:49.719 --> 00:33:50.279
 that day

00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:51.259
 and the

00:33:51.259 --> 00:33:51.639
 outskirts

00:33:51.639 --> 00:33:52.199
 of Jerusalem

00:33:52.199 --> 00:33:52.739
 and making

00:33:52.739 --> 00:33:53.539
 the trek

00:33:53.539 --> 00:33:54.419
 up the

00:33:54.419 --> 00:33:54.719
 mountain

00:33:54.719 --> 00:33:55.739
 and buying

00:33:55.739 --> 00:33:56.359
 the sacrifice

00:33:56.359 --> 00:33:56.919
 and taking

00:33:56.919 --> 00:33:57.539
 the sacrifice

00:33:57.539 --> 00:33:57.759
 to the

00:33:57.759 --> 00:33:58.039
 Levitical

00:33:58.039 --> 00:33:58.379
 priest

00:33:58.379 --> 00:33:58.959
 and him

00:33:58.959 --> 00:33:59.179
 going

00:33:59.179 --> 00:33:59.679
 through the

00:33:59.679 --> 00:34:00.199
 practice

00:34:00.199 --> 00:34:00.619
 of making

00:34:00.619 --> 00:34:01.159
 the sacrifice

00:34:01.159 --> 00:34:01.759
 and turning

00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:02.339
 around and

00:34:02.339 --> 00:34:02.979
 feeling the

00:34:02.979 --> 00:34:04.059
 exact same

00:34:04.059 --> 00:34:04.339
 way.

00:34:06.199 --> 00:34:06.759
 Feeling

00:34:06.759 --> 00:34:07.399
 nothing.

00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:09.119
 These people

00:34:09.119 --> 00:34:09.339
 would have

00:34:09.339 --> 00:34:09.940
 had a faith

00:34:09.940 --> 00:34:10.279
 that went

00:34:10.279 --> 00:34:11.000
 beyond the

00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:11.400
 sacrifice

00:34:11.400 --> 00:34:12.019
 itself.

00:34:12.579 --> 00:34:12.980
 Somehow

00:34:12.980 --> 00:34:14.099
 God is

00:34:14.099 --> 00:34:14.579
 pleased

00:34:14.579 --> 00:34:15.340
 as I'm

00:34:15.340 --> 00:34:15.960
 doing this.

00:34:16.219 --> 00:34:16.639
 Looking

00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:17.199
 to

00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:18.059
 the

00:34:18.059 --> 00:34:18.400
 ultimate

00:34:18.400 --> 00:34:19.420
 sacrifice.

00:34:20.460 --> 00:34:20.679
 Looking

00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:21.119
 to

00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:21.679
 the

00:34:21.679 --> 00:34:22.039
 hope

00:34:22.039 --> 00:34:22.739
 of a

00:34:22.739 --> 00:34:22.920
 clean

00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:23.440
 conscience.

00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:24.819
 Third,

00:34:25.099 --> 00:34:25.619
 Jesus Christ

00:34:25.619 --> 00:34:26.179
 provides

00:34:26.179 --> 00:34:27.639
 unfettered

00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:28.039
 access

00:34:28.039 --> 00:34:29.019
 to God.

00:34:29.099 --> 00:34:29.299
 There's

00:34:29.299 --> 00:34:29.759
 nothing

00:34:29.759 --> 00:34:30.099
 that

00:34:30.099 --> 00:34:31.079
 restrains

00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:31.980
 this

00:34:31.980 --> 00:34:32.460
 access.

00:34:33.119 --> 00:34:33.960
 You have

00:34:33.960 --> 00:34:34.420
 to remember

00:34:34.420 --> 00:34:35.079
 it is so

00:34:35.079 --> 00:34:35.539
 massively

00:34:35.539 --> 00:34:36.099
 significant

00:34:36.099 --> 00:34:36.840
 that when

00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:37.699
 Jesus died

00:34:37.699 --> 00:34:38.539
 the temple

00:34:38.539 --> 00:34:39.099
 curtain

00:34:39.099 --> 00:34:39.819
 which was

00:34:39.819 --> 00:34:40.259
 the curtain

00:34:40.259 --> 00:34:40.840
 that divided

00:34:40.840 --> 00:34:41.679
 the holy

00:34:41.679 --> 00:34:42.019
 place

00:34:42.019 --> 00:34:42.299
 from the

00:34:42.299 --> 00:34:42.519
 holy

00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:43.099
 of holies

00:34:43.099 --> 00:34:43.799
 was

00:34:43.800 --> 00:34:44.620
 dividing

00:34:44.620 --> 00:34:46.120
 where people

00:34:46.120 --> 00:34:46.700
 could go

00:34:46.700 --> 00:34:47.060
 to where

00:34:47.060 --> 00:34:47.600
 only one

00:34:47.600 --> 00:34:47.820
 person

00:34:47.820 --> 00:34:48.220
 could go

00:34:48.220 --> 00:34:48.800
 one day

00:34:48.800 --> 00:34:49.220
 a year

00:34:49.220 --> 00:34:50.300
 the presence

00:34:50.300 --> 00:34:51.019
 of God

00:34:51.019 --> 00:34:52.060
 and he

00:34:52.060 --> 00:34:52.580
 wasn't there

00:34:52.580 --> 00:34:52.960
 in Jesus'

00:34:53.120 --> 00:34:53.480
 day by the

00:34:53.480 --> 00:34:53.680
 way.

00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:54.000
 He had

00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:54.700
 left long

00:34:54.700 --> 00:34:55.039
 ago.

00:34:55.700 --> 00:34:55.880
 It was

00:34:55.880 --> 00:34:56.240
 just an

00:34:56.240 --> 00:34:56.480
 empty

00:34:56.480 --> 00:34:57.100
 space.

00:34:58.000 --> 00:34:58.500
 But there

00:34:58.500 --> 00:34:58.760
 was a

00:34:58.760 --> 00:34:59.080
 curtain

00:34:59.080 --> 00:34:59.840
 still there

00:34:59.840 --> 00:35:01.000
 and it

00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:01.640
 signified

00:35:01.640 --> 00:35:02.140
 something.

00:35:03.260 --> 00:35:03.820
 You're

00:35:03.820 --> 00:35:04.740
 unclean.

00:35:04.860 --> 00:35:05.640
 You can't

00:35:05.640 --> 00:35:06.600
 come in

00:35:06.600 --> 00:35:06.960
 here.

00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:08.500
 This

00:35:08.500 --> 00:35:08.900
 curtain

00:35:08.900 --> 00:35:09.740
 was as

00:35:09.740 --> 00:35:10.500
 thick as

00:35:10.500 --> 00:35:10.880
 a man's

00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:11.340
 hand.

00:35:12.560 --> 00:35:13.300
 My hand's

00:35:13.300 --> 00:35:13.539
 not very

00:35:13.539 --> 00:35:13.780
 thick.

00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:14.260
 It was

00:35:14.260 --> 00:35:14.580
 thick.

00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:16.940
 And it

00:35:16.940 --> 00:35:17.300
 was torn

00:35:17.300 --> 00:35:17.760
 from the

00:35:17.760 --> 00:35:18.280
 top

00:35:18.280 --> 00:35:19.660
 to the

00:35:19.660 --> 00:35:20.000
 bottom.

00:35:21.120 --> 00:35:21.700
 Christ

00:35:21.700 --> 00:35:22.940
 gives us

00:35:22.940 --> 00:35:23.900
 access

00:35:23.900 --> 00:35:25.620
 to the

00:35:25.620 --> 00:35:25.980
 place of

00:35:25.980 --> 00:35:26.280
 God.

00:35:26.480 --> 00:35:26.760
 God is

00:35:26.760 --> 00:35:27.060
 saying you

00:35:27.060 --> 00:35:27.340
 will no

00:35:27.340 --> 00:35:27.700
 longer

00:35:27.700 --> 00:35:28.320
 worship me

00:35:28.320 --> 00:35:28.840
 in this

00:35:28.840 --> 00:35:29.360
 way.

00:35:30.080 --> 00:35:30.800
 There's a

00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:31.960
 better hope

00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:32.680
 for you

00:35:32.680 --> 00:35:33.280
 to draw

00:35:33.280 --> 00:35:34.420
 near to

00:35:34.420 --> 00:35:34.700
 me.

00:35:35.080 --> 00:35:35.760
 Verse 19

00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:36.600
 for the

00:35:36.600 --> 00:35:37.200
 law made

00:35:37.200 --> 00:35:38.120
 nothing

00:35:38.120 --> 00:35:38.680
 perfect.

00:35:39.539 --> 00:35:39.760
 But on

00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:40.140
 the other

00:35:40.140 --> 00:35:40.980
 hand a

00:35:40.980 --> 00:35:41.640
 better hope

00:35:41.639 --> 00:35:42.279
 is

00:35:42.279 --> 00:35:42.799
 introduced

00:35:42.799 --> 00:35:43.500
 through

00:35:43.500 --> 00:35:44.000
 which

00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:44.500
 this is

00:35:44.500 --> 00:35:45.000
 Christ

00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:45.319
 that he's

00:35:45.319 --> 00:35:45.579
 talking

00:35:45.579 --> 00:35:45.859
 about.

00:35:46.099 --> 00:35:46.279
 We

00:35:46.279 --> 00:35:47.079
 draw

00:35:47.079 --> 00:35:47.539
 near

00:35:47.539 --> 00:35:49.099
 to

00:35:49.099 --> 00:35:49.420
 God.

00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:51.440
 Verse 25

00:35:51.440 --> 00:35:52.199
 consequently

00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:53.339
 he is

00:35:53.339 --> 00:35:53.920
 able to

00:35:53.920 --> 00:35:54.379
 save to

00:35:54.379 --> 00:35:54.739
 the utter

00:35:54.739 --> 00:35:55.199
 most

00:35:55.199 --> 00:35:55.819
 those

00:35:55.819 --> 00:35:56.460
 who

00:35:56.460 --> 00:35:56.699
 draw

00:35:56.699 --> 00:35:56.980
 near

00:35:56.980 --> 00:35:57.159
 to

00:35:57.159 --> 00:35:57.539
 God

00:35:57.539 --> 00:35:58.420
 through

00:35:58.420 --> 00:35:58.859
 him

00:35:58.859 --> 00:35:59.739
 since

00:35:59.739 --> 00:35:59.940
 he

00:35:59.940 --> 00:36:00.799
 always

00:36:00.799 --> 00:36:01.420
 lives.

00:36:01.480 --> 00:36:01.619
 Remember

00:36:01.619 --> 00:36:01.859
 this is

00:36:01.859 --> 00:36:02.099
 where we're

00:36:02.099 --> 00:36:02.319
 headed.

00:36:02.440 --> 00:36:02.539
 He

00:36:02.539 --> 00:36:03.400
 always

00:36:03.400 --> 00:36:04.159
 lives

00:36:04.159 --> 00:36:04.900
 to make

00:36:04.900 --> 00:36:05.559
 intercession

00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:07.239
 for them.

00:36:08.380 --> 00:36:08.900
 Beloved

00:36:08.900 --> 00:36:09.340
 if you're

00:36:09.340 --> 00:36:10.019
 in Christ

00:36:10.019 --> 00:36:10.539
 there's a

00:36:10.539 --> 00:36:11.139
 reality

00:36:11.139 --> 00:36:11.860
 that Jesus

00:36:11.860 --> 00:36:13.159
 right now

00:36:13.159 --> 00:36:14.559
 is speaking

00:36:14.559 --> 00:36:15.079
 to the

00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:15.739
 father on

00:36:15.739 --> 00:36:16.480
 your behalf.

00:36:17.539 --> 00:36:18.079
 God

00:36:18.079 --> 00:36:18.360
 in his

00:36:18.360 --> 00:36:18.779
 holiness

00:36:18.779 --> 00:36:19.860
 his

00:36:19.860 --> 00:36:20.500
 perfect

00:36:20.500 --> 00:36:21.239
 justice

00:36:21.239 --> 00:36:22.119
 has a

00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:22.699
 white

00:36:22.699 --> 00:36:23.340
 hot

00:36:23.340 --> 00:36:23.920
 wrath

00:36:23.920 --> 00:36:25.259
 that burns

00:36:25.259 --> 00:36:25.980
 against those

00:36:25.980 --> 00:36:26.259
 who are

00:36:26.259 --> 00:36:26.759
 rebels

00:36:26.759 --> 00:36:27.480
 against him.

00:36:28.279 --> 00:36:29.380
 And Jesus

00:36:29.380 --> 00:36:30.299
 sits at his

00:36:30.299 --> 00:36:30.980
 right hand

00:36:30.980 --> 00:36:31.519
 and says

00:36:31.519 --> 00:36:32.119
 but not

00:36:32.119 --> 00:36:32.759
 that one

00:36:32.759 --> 00:36:33.579
 he's

00:36:33.579 --> 00:36:34.000
 mine

00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:35.460
 not her

00:36:35.460 --> 00:36:36.420
 she's

00:36:36.420 --> 00:36:37.260
 mine.

00:36:37.780 --> 00:36:38.340
 Yes

00:36:38.340 --> 00:36:39.199
 they're

00:36:39.199 --> 00:36:39.500
 wretched.

00:36:40.840 --> 00:36:41.380
 Yes

00:36:41.380 --> 00:36:41.820
 they've

00:36:41.820 --> 00:36:42.099
 been

00:36:42.099 --> 00:36:42.800
 rebels

00:36:42.800 --> 00:36:43.519
 right

00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:44.139
 but they

00:36:44.139 --> 00:36:44.579
 believed

00:36:44.579 --> 00:36:45.139
 in me

00:36:45.139 --> 00:36:45.920
 right

00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:46.900
 I took

00:36:46.900 --> 00:36:47.139
 their

00:36:47.139 --> 00:36:47.559
 punishment

00:36:47.559 --> 00:36:47.980
 on the

00:36:47.980 --> 00:36:48.420
 cross

00:36:48.420 --> 00:36:49.480
 I've

00:36:49.480 --> 00:36:49.740
 given

00:36:49.740 --> 00:36:50.059
 them

00:36:50.059 --> 00:36:50.599
 my

00:36:50.599 --> 00:36:51.420
 righteousness

00:36:51.420 --> 00:36:52.000
 right

00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:52.860
 they are

00:36:52.860 --> 00:36:53.840
 in me

00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:54.380
 and I

00:36:54.380 --> 00:36:54.579
 am

00:36:54.579 --> 00:36:55.019
 in

00:36:55.019 --> 00:36:55.900
 them

00:36:55.900 --> 00:36:56.420
 they

00:36:56.420 --> 00:36:56.940
 belong

00:36:56.940 --> 00:36:57.179
 to

00:36:57.179 --> 00:36:57.980
 us

00:36:57.980 --> 00:36:59.039
 forever

00:36:59.039 --> 00:37:00.900
 God's

00:37:00.900 --> 00:37:01.199
 wrath

00:37:01.199 --> 00:37:02.220
 passes

00:37:02.220 --> 00:37:02.619
 on

00:37:02.619 --> 00:37:03.880
 it's

00:37:03.880 --> 00:37:04.000
 the

00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:04.260
 beautiful

00:37:04.260 --> 00:37:04.780
 picture

00:37:04.780 --> 00:37:05.900
 of the

00:37:05.900 --> 00:37:06.460
 Passover

00:37:06.460 --> 00:37:06.860
 as the

00:37:06.860 --> 00:37:07.060
 people

00:37:07.060 --> 00:37:07.800
 huddled

00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:08.420
 in their

00:37:08.420 --> 00:37:08.900
 houses

00:37:08.900 --> 00:37:10.260
 and the

00:37:10.260 --> 00:37:10.760
 angel of

00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:11.080
 death

00:37:11.080 --> 00:37:11.519
 passed

00:37:11.519 --> 00:37:11.860
 over

00:37:11.860 --> 00:37:12.680
 Egypt

00:37:12.680 --> 00:37:13.460
 because of

00:37:13.460 --> 00:37:14.060
 the sacrifice

00:37:14.060 --> 00:37:14.440
 of that

00:37:14.440 --> 00:37:14.820
 perfect

00:37:14.820 --> 00:37:15.080
 lamb

00:37:15.080 --> 00:37:15.440
 put on

00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:15.600
 the

00:37:15.600 --> 00:37:16.240
 doorpost

00:37:16.240 --> 00:37:16.360
 the

00:37:16.360 --> 00:37:16.660
 angel of

00:37:16.660 --> 00:37:16.820
 death

00:37:16.820 --> 00:37:16.960
 would

00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:17.260
 pass

00:37:17.260 --> 00:37:17.560
 over

00:37:17.560 --> 00:37:18.200
 their

00:37:18.200 --> 00:37:18.700
 houses

00:37:18.700 --> 00:37:19.240
 right

00:37:19.240 --> 00:37:20.280
 God's

00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:20.920
 judgment

00:37:20.920 --> 00:37:22.220
 moving

00:37:22.220 --> 00:37:22.900
 beyond

00:37:22.900 --> 00:37:23.800
 right

00:37:23.800 --> 00:37:24.660
 because

00:37:24.660 --> 00:37:25.240
 the

00:37:25.240 --> 00:37:25.680
 blood

00:37:25.680 --> 00:37:26.340
 of

00:37:26.340 --> 00:37:26.980
 Christ

00:37:26.980 --> 00:37:28.160
 protects

00:37:28.160 --> 00:37:28.800
 us

00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:30.380
 John

 chapter

00:37:30.700 --> 00:37:31.280
 14

00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:31.640
 in

00:37:31.640 --> 00:37:31.820
 verse

00:37:31.820 --> 00:37:32.240
 6

00:37:32.239 --> 00:37:33.219
 Jesus

00:37:33.219 --> 00:37:33.639
 said

00:37:33.639 --> 00:37:34.279
 I

00:37:34.279 --> 00:37:34.399
 am

00:37:34.399 --> 00:37:34.539
 the

00:37:34.539 --> 00:37:34.879
 way

00:37:34.879 --> 00:37:35.619
 and

00:37:35.619 --> 00:37:35.759
 the

00:37:35.759 --> 00:37:36.259
 truth

00:37:36.259 --> 00:37:37.039
 and

00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:37.179
 the

00:37:37.179 --> 00:37:37.579
 life

00:37:42.839 --> 00:37:44.059
 Christ

00:37:44.059 --> 00:37:44.819

 the

00:37:53.559 --> 00:37:53.899
 temptation

00:37:53.899 --> 00:37:54.199

00:37:54.199 --> 00:37:54.619
 be

00:37:54.619 --> 00:37:56.539
 to

00:37:56.539 --> 00:37:56.839
 a

 cultural

00:37:58.019 --> 00:37:58.459
 version

00:37:58.699 --> 00:37:59.259
 Christianity

00:37:59.260 --> 00:38:00.300
 thing

00:38:00.300 --> 00:38:00.480
 that

00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:00.920
 calls

00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:01.320
 itself

00:38:01.320 --> 00:38:01.800
 Christian

00:38:01.800 --> 00:38:02.040
 but

00:38:02.040 --> 00:38:02.760
 isn't

00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:02.900
 at

00:38:02.900 --> 00:38:03.220
 all

00:38:03.220 --> 00:38:04.560
 to

 West

00:38:07.540 --> 00:38:08.400

00:38:10.740 --> 00:38:11.620
 it

00:38:11.620 --> 00:38:12.740
 won't

00:38:12.740 --> 00:38:12.900

 I

00:38:13.440 --> 00:38:13.700
 don't

00:38:13.700 --> 00:38:14.080
 think

00:38:14.080 --> 00:38:14.340
 maybe

00:38:14.340 --> 00:38:14.860
 Judaism

00:38:14.860 --> 00:38:15.440
 maybe

00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:15.680
 that

00:38:15.680 --> 00:38:16.000
 becomes

00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:16.160
 the

00:38:16.160 --> 00:38:16.540
 temptation

00:38:16.540 --> 00:38:17.500
 for

 you

00:38:17.780 --> 00:38:20.120
 whatever

 it

00:38:20.900 --> 00:38:21.540
 may

00:38:21.540 --> 00:38:21.760
 be

00:38:21.760 --> 00:38:22.220
 will

00:38:22.220 --> 00:38:22.800
 you

00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:23.900
 persevere

00:38:23.900 --> 00:38:25.260
 because

00:38:25.260 --> 00:38:25.840
 everything

00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:26.240
 else

00:38:26.240 --> 00:38:26.620
 is

00:38:26.620 --> 00:38:27.200
 insufficient

00:38:27.200 --> 00:38:27.940
 it

00:38:27.940 --> 00:38:28.120
 has

00:38:28.120 --> 00:38:28.300
 the
