00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.940
 Please take your copy of God's Word and turn to Luke chapter 15.

00:00:05.940 --> 00:00:13.679
 Having finished our exposition of the book of Acts, Luke's second account is account of the work of the risen Christ.

00:00:14.820 --> 00:00:20.460
 We're taking just a short little interlude to do some smaller expositions.

00:00:21.460 --> 00:00:25.580
 And we've come to his first account of Jesus's earthly ministry.

00:00:25.579 --> 00:00:31.859
 And a particular set of parables that he told in Luke chapter 15.

00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:37.060
 Now, like we did last week, I'm going to read the entirety of the chapter to you.

00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:44.579
 Because we want to set this parable that we most often know as the parable of the prodigal son in its proper context.

00:00:45.599 --> 00:00:48.079
 There's a great truth being communicated here.

00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:52.140
 And we don't want to miss that as we study it across these three weeks.

00:00:52.179 --> 00:00:54.859
 Last week, today, and the next as well.

00:00:55.579 --> 00:01:03.359
 Our focus for today, though, as we read the chapter and we'll come back to, is verses 20 through 24.

00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:06.879
 So, Luke chapter 15.

00:01:07.340 --> 00:01:11.400
 Before I begin reading, let me remind you, beloved, that this is God's Word to us.

00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:15.140
 It was written for His glory and for our good.

00:01:15.900 --> 00:01:21.780
 We would all do well to listen to it in order to believe its promises and obey its commands.

00:01:21.780 --> 00:01:25.299
 Luke chapter 15, beginning in verse 1 and following.

00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:30.540
 Now, the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to Him.

00:01:30.540 --> 00:01:37.040
 And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, This man receives sinners and eats with them.

00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:39.820
 So He told them this parable.

00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:49.780
 What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the one that is lost until he finds it?

00:01:49.780 --> 00:01:53.700
 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

00:01:54.500 --> 00:02:02.920
 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.

00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:11.180
 Just so I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.

00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:21.259
 Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it?

00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:29.319
 And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.

00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:35.439
 Just so I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.

00:02:36.419 --> 00:02:40.459
 And he said, There was a man who had two sons.

00:02:41.079 --> 00:02:46.259
 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the share of my property that is coming to me.

00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:49.139
 And he divided his property between them.

00:02:49.979 --> 00:02:55.340
 Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country.

00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:58.959
 And there he squandered his property in reckless living.

00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:04.919
 And when he had spent everything, a severe famine arose in that country, and he began to be in need.

00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:11.799
 So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.

00:03:12.379 --> 00:03:17.500
 And he was longing to be fed with the pods that the pigs ate, and no one gave him anything.

00:03:17.500 --> 00:03:24.060
 But when he came to himself, he said, How many of my father's hired servants have more than enough bread?

00:03:24.460 --> 00:03:26.699
 But I perish here with hunger.

00:03:27.379 --> 00:03:33.439
 I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you.

00:03:34.020 --> 00:03:36.680
 I am no longer worthy to be called your son.

00:03:37.219 --> 00:03:39.199
 Treat me as one of your hired servants.

00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:42.159
 And he arose and came to his father.

00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:51.099
 But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion and ran and embraced him and kissed him.

00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:56.259
 And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you.

00:03:56.759 --> 00:03:59.699
 I am no longer worthy to be called your son.

00:03:59.699 --> 00:04:12.179
 But the father said to his servants, Bring quickly the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet, and bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate.

00:04:12.839 --> 00:04:16.099
 For this, my son was dead and is alive again.

00:04:16.579 --> 00:04:19.000
 He was lost and is found.

00:04:19.539 --> 00:04:21.019
 And they began to celebrate.

00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:24.560
 Now his older son was in the field.

00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:28.599
 And as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.

00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:32.400
 And he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant.

00:04:32.860 --> 00:04:39.820
 And he said to him, Your brother has come and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has received him back safe and sound.

00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.100
 But he was angry and refused to go in.

00:04:43.939 --> 00:04:46.000
 His father came out and entreated him.

00:04:46.400 --> 00:04:52.340
 But he answered his father, Look, these many years I have served you and I never disobeyed your command.

00:04:52.500 --> 00:04:57.120
 Yet you never gave me a young goat that I might celebrate with my friends.

00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:04.519
 But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.

00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:10.860
 And he said to him, Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.

00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:13.579
 It was fitting to celebrate and be glad.

00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:17.139
 For this, your brother was dead and is alive.

00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:20.699
 He was lost and is found.

00:05:20.699 --> 00:05:32.779
 And so, as I said, our major attention is on this parable that's most often called the parable of the prodigal son.

00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:37.300
 And there are many commentators who have a problem with that title.

00:05:37.659 --> 00:05:41.740
 Say it should rather be called the parable of the two sons.

00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:45.699
 Or the parable, as Tim Keller says, the parable of the prodigal father.

00:05:45.699 --> 00:05:46.300
 Father.

00:05:47.099 --> 00:05:56.000
 Because we can, if we only think of the younger son, we can miss the point altogether of this text.

00:05:56.719 --> 00:06:08.480
 You see, Jesus is juxtaposing the attitudes of the Pharisees and the scribes with the rejoicing of heaven over lost souls being found.

00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:14.640
 He is not in any way suggesting to the Pharisees and scribes that they themselves are righteous.

00:06:15.340 --> 00:06:22.340
 They are as desperately lost as those Gentiles and tax collectors that are gathering around Jesus.

00:06:22.460 --> 00:06:24.819
 But they don't have a perception of this.

00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:28.379
 They are the older brother.

00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:36.740
 And so, we're driving to that point, which we'll make readily and at length next week.

00:06:36.740 --> 00:06:44.240
 Last week, we focused on verses 11 through 19, the younger son, the one that we call the prodigal.

00:06:44.740 --> 00:06:53.720
 And we noted the various stages in the history of this type of sinner, this licentious sinner.

00:06:54.000 --> 00:07:00.900
 They were, as follows, number one, a desire for independence from God.

00:07:01.019 --> 00:07:05.879
 The truth of it is that we never really are independent from God, but we can seek to be independent from Him.

00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:09.680
 We can believe that we are independent from Him.

00:07:10.579 --> 00:07:16.379
 The second stage in the history of this sinner is the indulgence of self.

00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:18.199
 Investing in us.

00:07:18.379 --> 00:07:23.639
 The experience of the fleeting pleasure of sin to its end.

00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:33.240
 The third, which some people reach, and I pray you never do, is insanity of the soul.

00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:38.759
 This young man came to the place where he wanted to eat inedible food.

00:07:38.860 --> 00:07:41.180
 Food that was given to pigs.

00:07:41.280 --> 00:07:46.939
 He was brought that low in his sinfulness, in his rebellion against the Father.

00:07:47.840 --> 00:07:55.220
 And then, as the prodigal seems to, and if you have come to place believing faith in Christ,

00:07:55.220 --> 00:08:00.200
 we see on his part repentance and faith.

00:08:00.320 --> 00:08:04.680
 We see him come to himself, believing that his Father will be good to him,

00:08:05.180 --> 00:08:08.740
 and will take him back into his control and care.

00:08:09.940 --> 00:08:17.380
 This morning, we're going to focus our attention on the love of the Father for the younger son.

00:08:17.379 --> 00:08:25.519
 And today, if you're here with us, you find yourself in one of three places.

00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:35.019
 Number one, it is possible this morning that you are presently the prodigal son.

00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:38.159
 You've sought your independence from God.

00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:40.100
 You indulge yourself.

00:08:40.100 --> 00:08:45.759
 You may even be finding yourself this morning at the very end of yourself.

00:08:45.899 --> 00:08:51.440
 Maybe that's why you chose to accept an invitation to come to church.

00:08:51.659 --> 00:08:54.300
 You don't know where else to go.

00:08:54.460 --> 00:08:58.840
 You've sought out the pleasure of the world, and it has left you wanting.

00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:04.259
 My hope for you this morning, my prayer for you this week,

00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:10.420
 is that you will see with what kind of love God loves.

00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:16.899
 That you will see that God's love is offered freely and lavishly to anyone

00:09:16.899 --> 00:09:20.080
 who will come to him in repentance and faith,

00:09:20.660 --> 00:09:22.320
 and that your heart will be drawn to him.

00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:30.180
 Secondly, you may find that you are the elder brother

00:09:30.180 --> 00:09:35.240
 who we'll talk about more extensively next week.

00:09:35.379 --> 00:09:39.040
 But that's to say that you are self-righteous.

00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:44.660
 You think you've done enough good to seek God's pleasure.

00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:47.920
 You desire to obey God,

00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:52.839
 but that desire, that obedience has nothing to do with a love for him,

00:09:53.219 --> 00:09:56.819
 but is rather motivated by what you can get from him.

00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:59.419
 You think there's some promise on the other side

00:09:59.419 --> 00:10:01.779
 if you will simply obey.

00:10:03.139 --> 00:10:05.620
 You also, just like the younger son,

00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:07.719
 wish that the father was dead,

00:10:09.099 --> 00:10:11.079
 and your sin may be the worst of the two

00:10:11.079 --> 00:10:14.299
 because it is so much more deceptive.

00:10:14.299 --> 00:10:18.159
 You think you're accepted by God by your works,

00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:21.179
 and your works will come up short.

00:10:22.439 --> 00:10:23.879
 My hope for you this morning

00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:29.079
 is that you will also see your need for repentance and faith,

00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:33.319
 that you would love God in his ways to have him,

00:10:33.959 --> 00:10:35.620
 and not merely what he can give you,

00:10:36.099 --> 00:10:40.199
 that you also would fly home to your father,

00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:43.959
 that you may rejoice in his goodness to mankind.

00:10:44.299 --> 00:10:48.339
 The third position you may find yourself in this morning,

00:10:48.699 --> 00:10:51.879
 I hope that most of you, if not all,

00:10:52.019 --> 00:10:53.620
 find yourself in this place,

00:10:54.179 --> 00:10:58.279
 having been a rebel of one kind or the other,

00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:01.479
 having been the younger or been the elder son,

00:11:02.179 --> 00:11:04.339
 you have humbly returned to God,

00:11:04.839 --> 00:11:07.539
 and he has given you a place in his household.

00:11:08.659 --> 00:11:09.679
 My hope for you this morning

00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:11.659
 is that you will appreciate afresh

00:11:11.659 --> 00:11:14.959
 God's loving kindness towards you.

00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:18.939
 Beloved, it is very possible to be found in Christ,

00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:20.539
 to be justified before God

00:11:20.539 --> 00:11:23.139
 because of what Christ has done on our behalf,

00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:24.620
 and to forget it,

00:11:25.179 --> 00:11:27.399
 and to function as if.

00:11:27.779 --> 00:11:29.859
 We need to earn our way to God,

00:11:30.059 --> 00:11:33.500
 or to function as if we can live however we want,

00:11:33.500 --> 00:11:35.539
 and be accepted by him.

00:11:36.379 --> 00:11:38.820
 It's very possible to find ourself

00:11:38.820 --> 00:11:41.440
 in the proper stance with the Lord,

00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:44.740
 but not living in accordance with it.

00:11:45.139 --> 00:11:48.620
 So I hope this morning you will appreciate once again

00:11:48.620 --> 00:11:52.159
 how good the Father is to his people.

00:11:53.019 --> 00:11:54.220
 As his sons and daughters,

00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:56.720
 we would want to live in his house joyfully

00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:58.820
 and obediently.

00:11:59.580 --> 00:12:02.060
 That despite how difficult your week may have been,

00:12:02.700 --> 00:12:04.440
 that you will revel today in the fact

00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:07.360
 that you have been clothed in the righteousness of Christ,

00:12:08.180 --> 00:12:10.840
 given the authority to be a herald of God,

00:12:11.180 --> 00:12:14.200
 and you have been called a son.

00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.440
 So we're going to consider the love of the Father

00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:19.879
 toward the younger son.

00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:22.139
 On the front of your bulletin

00:12:22.139 --> 00:12:24.620
 is a quote by A.W. Tozer

00:12:24.620 --> 00:12:26.779
 from a book he wrote called Knowledge of the Holy,

00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:27.799
 which I commend to you.

00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:31.519
 He was a 20th century American pastor,

00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:32.379
 and he said this,

00:12:33.019 --> 00:12:35.580
 speaking of God's attributes

00:12:35.580 --> 00:12:37.120
 as they relate to his love.

00:12:38.500 --> 00:12:40.659
 Because God is self-existent,

00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:42.919
 his love had no beginning.

00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:45.080
 Because he is eternal,

00:12:45.220 --> 00:12:47.679
 his love can have no end.

00:12:48.419 --> 00:12:49.759
 Because he is infinite,

00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:51.120
 it has no limit.

00:12:51.700 --> 00:12:53.100
 Because he is holy,

00:12:53.100 --> 00:12:54.820
 it is the quintessence

00:12:54.820 --> 00:12:57.840
 of all spotless purity.

00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:00.100
 Because he is immense,

00:13:00.300 --> 00:13:03.560
 his love is an incomprehensibly vast,

00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:07.460
 bottomless, shoreless sea.

00:13:08.740 --> 00:13:10.180
 So let's get to it.

00:13:10.259 --> 00:13:12.720
 Let's consider the Father's love

00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:13.840
 toward the younger son.

00:13:14.180 --> 00:13:15.759
 The outline for this morning's text

00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:17.480
 is as follows.

00:13:18.680 --> 00:13:19.399
 Number one,

00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:22.019
 the compassion of the Father.

00:13:24.779 --> 00:13:26.000
 Number two,

00:13:27.199 --> 00:13:31.220
 the son interrupted and restored.

00:13:33.620 --> 00:13:34.959
 And number three,

00:13:35.659 --> 00:13:37.519
 the celebration of the Father

00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:39.199
 and his servants.

00:13:42.199 --> 00:13:43.199
 Number one,

00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:46.919
 the compassion of the Father.

00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:48.959
 We see this throughout

00:13:48.959 --> 00:13:50.059
 our text for today,

00:13:50.319 --> 00:13:51.279
 but predominantly,

00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:52.819
 mostly I want to look at it

00:13:52.819 --> 00:13:55.519
 in verse 20 this morning.

00:13:56.459 --> 00:13:57.459
 We see,

00:13:57.819 --> 00:13:59.259
 coming off the rest of our text

00:13:59.259 --> 00:14:00.599
 from verse 19,

00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:03.799
 the prodigal son arose

00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:07.120
 and came to his father.

00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:08.379
 Now,

00:14:08.500 --> 00:14:09.779
 it's really important

00:14:09.779 --> 00:14:10.919
 that we understand

00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:13.059
 what this young man

00:14:13.059 --> 00:14:14.719
 would have been going back to

00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:16.940
 in this particular culture.

00:14:17.740 --> 00:14:19.100
 Remember that this story

00:14:19.100 --> 00:14:20.100
 is being told

00:14:20.100 --> 00:14:22.040
 predominantly to these scribes

00:14:22.040 --> 00:14:22.920
 and Pharisees, right?

00:14:22.980 --> 00:14:24.940
 Jesus is driving this point

00:14:24.940 --> 00:14:27.040
 and he is using

00:14:27.040 --> 00:14:29.440
 shock and awe

00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:30.639
 to accomplish it, right?

00:14:31.300 --> 00:14:31.860
 Already,

00:14:32.160 --> 00:14:33.000
 these Pharisees

00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:33.720
 and scribes

00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:34.519
 would have just been

00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:35.720
 astounded

00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:38.600
 by the flagrant

00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:39.759
 disobedience

00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:41.379
 of this young man, right?

00:14:41.700 --> 00:14:42.560
 This young man

00:14:42.560 --> 00:14:44.160
 in asking for his inheritance

00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:44.959
 from his father

00:14:44.959 --> 00:14:46.379
 has said to his father,

00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:48.360
 I wish you were dead, right?

00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:48.819
 He's gone to him

00:14:48.819 --> 00:14:48.959
 and said,

00:14:49.019 --> 00:14:50.279
 just go ahead and die

00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:51.120
 so that I can have

00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:53.240
 what's coming to me, right?

00:14:53.339 --> 00:14:54.699
 He has gone off

00:14:54.699 --> 00:14:56.679
 to unclean people,

00:14:56.779 --> 00:14:58.120
 to Gentile lands.

00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:00.539
 He has spent this money

00:15:00.539 --> 00:15:02.439
 in a licentious way.

00:15:02.500 --> 00:15:03.779
 The older brother tells us

00:15:03.779 --> 00:15:05.120
 he must have heard reports

00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:07.259
 that he sent it on prostitutes.

00:15:07.719 --> 00:15:10.079
 He finds himself now destitute,

00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:13.620
 caring for unclean animals.

00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:15.580
 These scribes and Pharisees

00:15:15.580 --> 00:15:16.980
 are astounded

00:15:16.980 --> 00:15:18.580
 at the rebellion

00:15:18.580 --> 00:15:21.000
 of this young man.

00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:23.360
 So remember in this culture,

00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:25.659
 God's given instruction

00:15:25.659 --> 00:15:27.060
 in Deuteronomy chapter 21

00:15:27.060 --> 00:15:29.139
 that if a son is rebellious,

00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:30.600
 he will not listen.

00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:33.019
 There's no bringing this son

00:15:33.019 --> 00:15:33.779
 to correction.

00:15:34.460 --> 00:15:35.759
 That the people of the town

00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:36.740
 were supposed to take the son

00:15:36.740 --> 00:15:37.440
 outside the gate

00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:38.460
 and stone him to death.

00:15:38.460 --> 00:15:40.240
 So this is the kind

00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:42.040
 of serious culture

00:15:42.040 --> 00:15:44.600
 that is looking at the story

00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:46.240
 and thinking about obedience.

00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:48.780
 Now, the instruction

00:15:48.780 --> 00:15:49.879
 of Deuteronomy 21

00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:51.139
 was very rarely,

00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:52.259
 if ever, followed

00:15:52.259 --> 00:15:53.500
 in this day,

00:15:54.040 --> 00:15:54.759
 but there would have been

00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:56.720
 a great deal of scorn

00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:57.740
 for this young man

00:15:57.740 --> 00:15:58.759
 as he comes back.

00:15:59.280 --> 00:16:00.960
 The cultural expectation.

00:16:02.040 --> 00:16:03.080
 These scribes and Pharisees

00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:03.960
 are thinking to themselves,

00:16:04.160 --> 00:16:05.320
 oh boy, here it comes.

00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:06.800
 The son's about to get it

00:16:06.800 --> 00:16:07.620
 from his father.

00:16:08.400 --> 00:16:10.120
 The cultural expectation

00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:11.320
 is that the father

00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:12.680
 would have had nothing

00:16:12.680 --> 00:16:14.240
 to do with him

00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:17.220
 until the son had sat

00:16:17.220 --> 00:16:18.120
 outside of his gate

00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:20.800
 for an extended period of time.

00:16:21.680 --> 00:16:23.980
 Weeks, even months.

00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:25.980
 Sat outside the gate.

00:16:26.379 --> 00:16:28.280
 And the job of the town folk

00:16:28.280 --> 00:16:29.560
 would have been

00:16:29.560 --> 00:16:30.660
 to ridicule him.

00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:32.160
 Would have been

00:16:32.160 --> 00:16:33.000
 to tell him

00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:34.000
 what a horrible,

00:16:34.160 --> 00:16:35.220
 disobedient son

00:16:35.220 --> 00:16:36.040
 he was.

00:16:36.180 --> 00:16:37.240
 To spit on him.

00:16:37.300 --> 00:16:39.800
 To throw rotten food at him.

00:16:39.860 --> 00:16:40.700
 And if the son would

00:16:40.700 --> 00:16:42.600
 persevere outside the gate.

00:16:42.700 --> 00:16:43.519
 If he would stay

00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:44.700
 in that spot

00:16:44.700 --> 00:16:46.980
 receiving all of this scorn.

00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:48.820
 All of this ridicule

00:16:48.820 --> 00:16:50.040
 that was due him

00:16:50.040 --> 00:16:51.000
 for his disobedience.

00:16:51.100 --> 00:16:52.340
 The father may

00:16:52.340 --> 00:16:53.820
 take him back in.

00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:55.340
 The father might

00:16:55.340 --> 00:16:56.320
 deal with him

00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:58.560
 as a hired servant.

00:16:59.220 --> 00:17:00.200
 And this is the hope

00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:01.100
 of the son, right?

00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:02.480
 He's just saying,

00:17:03.180 --> 00:17:04.680
 my father will at least

00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:06.019
 let me live on the land

00:17:06.019 --> 00:17:07.140
 and work for him.

00:17:07.460 --> 00:17:08.480
 I'll at least

00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:09.680
 have food

00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:10.580
 for my belly.

00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:11.420
 And this is what

00:17:11.420 --> 00:17:13.500
 he goes back to.

00:17:13.700 --> 00:17:14.400
 This is what he's

00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:15.580
 headed back for.

00:17:16.500 --> 00:17:16.900
 Remember

00:17:16.900 --> 00:17:18.539
 that he had a plan, right?

00:17:18.560 --> 00:17:19.320
 He had thought up

00:17:19.320 --> 00:17:19.680
 this plan.

00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:20.279
 He was going to

00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:22.000
 say this thing.

00:17:22.060 --> 00:17:22.960
 He had come to himself

00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:23.740
 and I'm going to say,

00:17:23.840 --> 00:17:24.420
 verse 18,

00:17:24.840 --> 00:17:25.460
 Father, I have sinned

00:17:25.460 --> 00:17:25.860
 against heaven

00:17:25.860 --> 00:17:26.600
 and before you.

00:17:27.120 --> 00:17:28.140
 I'm no longer worthy

00:17:28.140 --> 00:17:28.980
 to be called your son.

00:17:29.080 --> 00:17:30.160
 Treat me as one

00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:32.200
 of your hired servants.

00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:33.400
 And beyond Jesus

00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:34.160
 telling the story,

00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:35.200
 I just imagine him

00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:35.880
 rehearsing that

00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:36.980
 over and over again

00:17:36.980 --> 00:17:38.460
 in his head, right?

00:17:39.019 --> 00:17:39.380
 Waiting.

00:17:39.600 --> 00:17:40.019
 I'm going to sit

00:17:40.019 --> 00:17:40.640
 outside the gate.

00:17:40.700 --> 00:17:41.039
 I'm going to sit

00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:41.580
 outside the gate.

00:17:41.620 --> 00:17:41.960
 I'm going to sit

00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:42.600
 outside the gate.

00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:43.960
 And when I get an

00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:44.880
 audience before my father,

00:17:44.980 --> 00:17:45.580
 I'm going to say

00:17:45.580 --> 00:17:46.720
 this thing.

00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:47.600
 And we see in our text

00:17:47.600 --> 00:17:48.660
 today that he launches

00:17:48.660 --> 00:17:49.420
 into it, right?

00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:50.299
 He's got it ready

00:17:50.299 --> 00:17:51.440
 to go.

00:17:52.779 --> 00:17:54.000
 But look at what

00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:55.960
 happens instead.

00:17:56.700 --> 00:17:57.700
 And he arose

00:17:57.700 --> 00:17:58.840
 and he came

00:17:58.840 --> 00:17:59.480
 to his father.

00:18:00.620 --> 00:18:02.000
 But while he was

00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:03.720
 still a long

00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:05.980
 way off.

00:18:06.580 --> 00:18:07.539
 Now in this day,

00:18:08.380 --> 00:18:09.360
 landowners

00:18:09.360 --> 00:18:10.200
 would have had

00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:12.680
 homes in the city.

00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:14.299
 For me as a person

00:18:14.299 --> 00:18:15.220
 who currently lives

00:18:15.220 --> 00:18:16.720
 in the city of Gainesville

00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:17.840
 and really loves

00:18:17.840 --> 00:18:18.559
 being out,

00:18:18.980 --> 00:18:19.660
 I think, why?

00:18:19.740 --> 00:18:20.400
 I'd rather have a house

00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:21.220
 out on the land

00:18:21.220 --> 00:18:21.880
 someplace.

00:18:22.140 --> 00:18:23.000
 But it wasn't safe

00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:23.740
 to have a house

00:18:23.740 --> 00:18:24.519
 out on the land.

00:18:24.660 --> 00:18:25.700
 So they all had homes

00:18:25.700 --> 00:18:27.039
 in the town.

00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:28.059
 So the young man

00:18:28.059 --> 00:18:29.099
 is approaching the town

00:18:29.099 --> 00:18:30.099
 and while he's still

00:18:30.099 --> 00:18:31.180
 a long way off,

00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:33.899
 his father sees him

00:18:33.899 --> 00:18:36.759
 expectantly watching

00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:37.579
 for him.

00:18:37.659 --> 00:18:38.859
 This isn't a walk

00:18:38.859 --> 00:18:39.579
 by a window

00:18:39.579 --> 00:18:40.319
 when he happens

00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:41.079
 to see a dirty

00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:41.899
 young man

00:18:41.899 --> 00:18:43.180
 coming into town.

00:18:43.579 --> 00:18:44.879
 He is outside.

00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:46.139
 He is expectant.

00:18:46.220 --> 00:18:47.319
 And he is watching

00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:50.139
 for his son's return.

00:18:50.420 --> 00:18:51.420
 And the text says

00:18:51.420 --> 00:18:54.440
 he felt compassion.

00:18:55.379 --> 00:18:56.579
 He felt compassion.

00:18:57.039 --> 00:18:59.059
 The Greek word

00:18:59.059 --> 00:19:00.599
 used in the original text

00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:02.079
 is a lot stronger

00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:03.399
 than the thought

00:19:03.399 --> 00:19:04.440
 that comes to my mind

00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:05.460
 when I read the word

00:19:05.460 --> 00:19:06.539
 compassion.

00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:07.379
 I think of kind of

00:19:07.379 --> 00:19:09.899
 a momentary feeling

00:19:09.899 --> 00:19:11.480
 of affection.

00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:13.460
 But the Greek word

00:19:13.460 --> 00:19:16.559
 speaks of a guttural,

00:19:16.879 --> 00:19:19.500
 a visceral love

00:19:19.500 --> 00:19:20.839
 for this young man.

00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:22.740
 This is a father

00:19:22.740 --> 00:19:24.019
 who would have done

00:19:24.019 --> 00:19:26.519
 anything for his son.

00:19:28.299 --> 00:19:29.220
 Fathers in the room,

00:19:29.299 --> 00:19:29.779
 I know there's not

00:19:29.779 --> 00:19:30.619
 a lot of us,

00:19:31.259 --> 00:19:32.299
 but I think we can

00:19:32.299 --> 00:19:33.599
 in some measure

00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:35.159
 understand this,

00:19:35.199 --> 00:19:35.679
 that we would do

00:19:35.679 --> 00:19:38.119
 anything for our sons.

00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:39.799
 When Cade,

00:19:39.859 --> 00:19:40.619
 who is my oldest,

00:19:40.779 --> 00:19:41.359
 who is now seven,

00:19:41.859 --> 00:19:42.659
 was five,

00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:44.000
 I took him

00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:45.019
 and his younger brother,

00:19:45.339 --> 00:19:45.559
 Judah,

00:19:45.619 --> 00:19:46.220
 to a playground.

00:19:46.220 --> 00:19:48.100
 And there was

00:19:48.100 --> 00:19:49.720
 a family reunion

00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:50.279
 that looked like

00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:51.140
 happening nearby

00:19:51.140 --> 00:19:52.100
 and this group

00:19:52.100 --> 00:19:53.360
 of probably cousins,

00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:54.059
 they just seemed

00:19:54.059 --> 00:19:55.740
 like a family unit

00:19:55.740 --> 00:19:57.120
 playing a game together.

00:19:57.279 --> 00:19:58.039
 They were playing tag

00:19:58.039 --> 00:19:59.240
 and Cade wanted

00:19:59.240 --> 00:19:59.740
 to get in

00:19:59.740 --> 00:20:00.380
 on this game.

00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:01.460
 So he just invited

00:20:01.460 --> 00:20:02.400
 himself into it

00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:03.500
 and was just bouncing around

00:20:03.500 --> 00:20:04.160
 and playing

00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:05.299
 in this game with them.

00:20:05.740 --> 00:20:06.819
 There was the oldest

00:20:06.819 --> 00:20:07.920
 of this crew

00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:08.900
 who was probably

00:20:08.900 --> 00:20:09.900
 eight or nine

00:20:09.900 --> 00:20:12.100
 who kept saying to him,

00:20:12.259 --> 00:20:12.420
 no,

00:20:12.500 --> 00:20:13.660
 you can't play with us.

00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:15.300
 But Cade didn't hear that.

00:20:15.360 --> 00:20:16.180
 He just kept playing anyway.

00:20:16.300 --> 00:20:17.240
 Like, hey, guys, guys.

00:20:17.300 --> 00:20:18.080
 And he's running around,

00:20:18.180 --> 00:20:18.680
 running around.

00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:19.759
 And finally,

00:20:20.019 --> 00:20:20.800
 this older boy

00:20:20.800 --> 00:20:21.640
 got his attention

00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:22.300
 from on top

00:20:22.300 --> 00:20:22.960
 of the play set

00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:24.240
 and Cade's standing down

00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:25.580
 and I'm sitting over

00:20:25.580 --> 00:20:26.279
 on the little wall

00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:27.120
 as parents do,

00:20:27.420 --> 00:20:28.000
 observing.

00:20:28.759 --> 00:20:29.759
 And the young boy

00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:30.380
 got his attention

00:20:30.380 --> 00:20:30.960
 and said,

00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:32.220
 hey, kid,

00:20:32.340 --> 00:20:34.360
 you can't play with us.

00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:36.800
 And Cade looked over

00:20:36.800 --> 00:20:36.980
 at me.

00:20:36.980 --> 00:20:37.360
 I'm going to cry

00:20:37.360 --> 00:20:37.920
 thinking about it.

00:20:38.019 --> 00:20:38.740
 Cade looked over at me

00:20:38.740 --> 00:20:39.880
 and his little arms

00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:40.620
 fell like this

00:20:40.620 --> 00:20:41.800
 and his big tears

00:20:41.800 --> 00:20:42.519
 welled up in his eyes

00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:43.380
 and I just went like this.

00:20:43.660 --> 00:20:46.080
 And he came running

00:20:46.080 --> 00:20:46.740
 across the playground

00:20:46.740 --> 00:20:48.240
 and just fell into my arms.

00:20:48.740 --> 00:20:49.680
 And I wanted,

00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:51.640
 I wanted to go pinch

00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:52.820
 that kid's head off.

00:20:53.700 --> 00:20:54.140
 Right?

00:20:54.500 --> 00:20:55.220
 Which would have been

00:20:55.220 --> 00:20:55.960
 highly inappropriate

00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:58.460
 for me to do.

00:20:59.320 --> 00:20:59.779
 But gosh,

00:20:59.820 --> 00:21:00.420
 you just want to do

00:21:00.420 --> 00:21:02.600
 anything for your kids.

00:21:02.660 --> 00:21:03.060
 And that's,

00:21:03.060 --> 00:21:03.940
 that's small.

00:21:04.060 --> 00:21:04.200
 Right?

00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:04.960
 In comparison.

00:21:05.220 --> 00:21:05.400
 Right?

00:21:05.540 --> 00:21:05.940
 So,

00:21:06.259 --> 00:21:07.740
 so small

00:21:07.740 --> 00:21:08.620
 of an example.

00:21:08.619 --> 00:21:09.279
 And then just

00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:10.039
 for your sake,

00:21:10.459 --> 00:21:10.739
 um,

00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:12.379
 maybe for mine

00:21:12.379 --> 00:21:13.159
 to tell you that

00:21:13.159 --> 00:21:14.739
 not too many moments later

00:21:14.739 --> 00:21:15.779
 the kid was running

00:21:15.779 --> 00:21:16.379
 full on

00:21:16.379 --> 00:21:16.899
 and was looking

00:21:16.899 --> 00:21:17.559
 over his shoulder

00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:18.979
 and just slammed

00:21:18.979 --> 00:21:19.659
 into a pole.

00:21:21.539 --> 00:21:21.559
 And,

00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:25.139
 and to,

00:21:25.299 --> 00:21:26.199
 to my,

00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:27.199
 to my shame,

00:21:27.339 --> 00:21:27.759
 I went,

00:21:28.259 --> 00:21:28.559
 yes!

00:21:28.559 --> 00:21:31.000
 So,

00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:32.200
 right,

00:21:32.779 --> 00:21:33.179
 um,

00:21:34.019 --> 00:21:36.179
 Psalm 103,

00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:37.539
 13 says this,

00:21:37.539 --> 00:21:39.399
 as a father

00:21:39.399 --> 00:21:40.700
 shows compassion

00:21:40.700 --> 00:21:41.659
 to his children,

00:21:42.460 --> 00:21:43.519
 so the Lord

00:21:43.519 --> 00:21:44.779
 shows compassion

00:21:44.779 --> 00:21:45.980
 to those

00:21:45.980 --> 00:21:46.700
 who fear him.

00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:47.799
 Right?

00:21:47.859 --> 00:21:48.839
 So the father has,

00:21:48.899 --> 00:21:49.779
 he sees the son

00:21:49.779 --> 00:21:51.059
 from a long way off

00:21:51.059 --> 00:21:52.720
 and has this guttural

00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:53.379
 love

00:21:53.379 --> 00:21:54.220
 for him.

00:21:54.259 --> 00:21:55.200
 And what does it do?

00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:55.460
 Like,

00:21:55.460 --> 00:21:56.700
 what does it compel him

00:21:56.700 --> 00:21:57.700
 to do?

00:21:58.100 --> 00:21:59.840
 He runs

00:21:59.840 --> 00:22:01.559
 to his son.

00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:02.460
 Now,

00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:02.900
 I think,

00:22:02.980 --> 00:22:04.000
 I think for us,

00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:06.080
 21st century readers

00:22:06.080 --> 00:22:06.519
 of this,

00:22:06.860 --> 00:22:07.259
 we just,

00:22:07.460 --> 00:22:08.200
 we see a movie

00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:09.160
 play out in our mind,

00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:10.460
 the music queues up

00:22:10.460 --> 00:22:11.319
 as he sprints

00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:12.140
 to his son.

00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:13.620
 To Jesus' listeners,

00:22:13.860 --> 00:22:15.299
 they would have been

00:22:15.299 --> 00:22:16.680
 horrified

00:22:16.680 --> 00:22:18.700
 by such an action.

00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:19.080
 Now,

00:22:19.120 --> 00:22:19.440
 remember,

00:22:20.059 --> 00:22:20.640
 this father

00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:21.400
 should have scorned him

00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:21.920
 to begin with.

00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:22.759
 This father should have,

00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:23.720
 should have had nothing

00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:24.960
 to do with him.

00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:25.240
 Right?

00:22:25.420 --> 00:22:26.160
 Even seeing him

00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:26.779
 a long way off,

00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:28.040
 gone back inside

00:22:28.040 --> 00:22:29.220
 the house.

00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:30.080
 But instead,

00:22:30.340 --> 00:22:31.940
 he runs.

00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:32.700
 Okay?

00:22:32.840 --> 00:22:33.560
 So not only does it

00:22:33.560 --> 00:22:34.400
 go out to him,

00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:35.500
 but he goes out to him

00:22:35.500 --> 00:22:37.000
 with haste.

00:22:37.180 --> 00:22:38.019
 And the thing for you

00:22:38.019 --> 00:22:38.640
 to know is that

00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:39.840
 men of wealth

00:22:39.840 --> 00:22:40.600
 in this day

00:22:40.600 --> 00:22:42.700
 did not run.

00:22:43.820 --> 00:22:44.580
 They didn't run.

00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:46.920
 They never ran.

00:22:47.740 --> 00:22:49.680
 Boys and servants

00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:50.540
 ran.

00:22:51.060 --> 00:22:51.200
 Right?

00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:52.460
 So if you needed something,

00:22:52.800 --> 00:22:53.820
 you sent somebody

00:22:53.820 --> 00:22:55.120
 to run for you.

00:22:55.300 --> 00:22:56.019
 You didn't run.

00:22:56.019 --> 00:22:57.200
 It was shameful

00:22:57.200 --> 00:22:58.480
 to run

00:22:58.480 --> 00:22:59.660
 for men

00:22:59.660 --> 00:23:00.480
 in this day.

00:23:01.379 --> 00:23:02.200
 Not only

00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:04.180
 the very act

00:23:04.180 --> 00:23:04.720
 of running,

00:23:05.220 --> 00:23:05.960
 but he would have

00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:07.319
 taken his long robe,

00:23:07.980 --> 00:23:09.119
 his well-dressed robe,

00:23:09.180 --> 00:23:09.740
 and he would have had

00:23:09.740 --> 00:23:10.639
 to hike it up

00:23:10.639 --> 00:23:11.299
 to his knees

00:23:11.299 --> 00:23:12.539
 to run.

00:23:13.019 --> 00:23:13.319
 Right?

00:23:13.700 --> 00:23:14.119
 And he showed

00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:14.519
 the bottom

00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:15.859
 of his legs.

00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:16.700
 This was a thing

00:23:16.700 --> 00:23:18.099
 that slaves

00:23:18.099 --> 00:23:18.920
 had exposed,

00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:19.900
 not men

00:23:19.900 --> 00:23:21.000
 of wealth

00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:22.279
 and of honor.

00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:23.619
 So he

00:23:23.619 --> 00:23:25.559
 humbles himself

00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:27.319
 out of this

00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:28.379
 visceral love

00:23:28.379 --> 00:23:28.859
 for his son.

00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:29.839
 He humbles himself

00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:31.240
 and he runs

00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:31.879
 out

00:23:31.879 --> 00:23:33.200
 to him.

00:23:34.299 --> 00:23:34.960
 God

00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:36.619
 humbled himself.

00:23:37.619 --> 00:23:38.059
 He became

00:23:38.059 --> 00:23:38.599
 a man

00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:39.960
 and he suffered

00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:40.639
 and he died

00:23:40.639 --> 00:23:42.000
 in our stead.

00:23:43.500 --> 00:23:44.019
 Hebrews 12,

00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:44.579
 2 states

00:23:44.579 --> 00:23:45.039
 that Jesus

00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:45.740
 endured

00:23:45.740 --> 00:23:47.119
 the cross

00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:48.459
 despising

00:23:48.459 --> 00:23:49.839
 the shame.

00:23:50.659 --> 00:23:51.119
 Paul writes

00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:51.919
 in Philippians 2,

00:23:52.019 --> 00:23:52.959
 6-8

00:23:52.959 --> 00:23:55.500
 of Jesus

00:23:55.500 --> 00:23:56.000
 who though

00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:56.839
 he was in the form

00:23:56.839 --> 00:23:57.299
 of God

00:23:57.299 --> 00:23:58.019
 did not count

00:23:58.019 --> 00:23:59.219
 equality with God

00:23:59.219 --> 00:24:00.559
 a thing to be grasped

00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:02.079
 but emptied himself

00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:03.259
 by taking the form

00:24:03.259 --> 00:24:03.759
 of a servant

00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:04.359
 being born

00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:05.079
 in the likeness

00:24:05.079 --> 00:24:05.519
 of men

00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:06.919
 and being found

00:24:06.919 --> 00:24:07.599
 in human form

00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:08.819
 he humbled himself

00:24:08.819 --> 00:24:10.179
 by becoming obedient

00:24:10.179 --> 00:24:11.579
 to the point of death

00:24:11.579 --> 00:24:13.099
 even death

00:24:13.099 --> 00:24:14.879
 on a cross.

00:24:15.199 --> 00:24:16.679
 So this young

00:24:16.680 --> 00:24:19.279
 smelly

00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:21.200
 rebellious

00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:21.680
 kid

00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:22.960
 is coming home

00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:24.460
 and the father

00:24:24.460 --> 00:24:26.420
 shames himself

00:24:26.420 --> 00:24:28.460
 shames himself

00:24:28.460 --> 00:24:29.299
 to go out

00:24:29.299 --> 00:24:30.259
 and to meet him

00:24:30.259 --> 00:24:31.660
 before he makes

00:24:31.660 --> 00:24:32.180
 his way

00:24:32.180 --> 00:24:33.400
 into the town.

00:24:34.140 --> 00:24:35.140
 We'll see why

00:24:35.140 --> 00:24:35.940
 in a moment.

00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:37.539
 But he makes himself

00:24:37.539 --> 00:24:38.299
 a fool.

00:24:38.420 --> 00:24:39.539
 You have to imagine.

00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:40.620
 It's daytime

00:24:40.620 --> 00:24:42.080
 he sees him a long way off

00:24:42.080 --> 00:24:43.400
 but people are out

00:24:43.400 --> 00:24:44.500
 about in the town

00:24:44.500 --> 00:24:45.380
 they're in the marketplace

00:24:45.380 --> 00:24:46.519
 and they see him

00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:48.259
 run out

00:24:48.259 --> 00:24:49.940
 to his boy.

00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:51.740
 From our daily

00:24:51.740 --> 00:24:52.740
 Bible reading

00:24:52.740 --> 00:24:53.879
 for this past week

00:24:53.879 --> 00:24:55.220
 Mr. Doug read it to us

00:24:55.220 --> 00:24:55.859
 this morning

00:24:55.859 --> 00:24:57.980
 Genesis 22

00:24:57.980 --> 00:24:59.039
 we read of Abraham's

00:24:59.039 --> 00:24:59.480
 willingness

00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:01.079
 to sacrifice Isaac

00:25:01.079 --> 00:25:02.319
 and that sacrifice

00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:02.700
 of Isaac

00:25:02.700 --> 00:25:03.440
 being replaced

00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:04.680
 with a ram

00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:06.039
 who is a type

00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:07.759
 for Christ.

00:25:09.460 --> 00:25:10.359
 And what does he do

00:25:10.359 --> 00:25:11.200
 when he gets to him?

00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:13.319
 he doesn't run out

00:25:13.319 --> 00:25:13.640
 to him

00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:14.420
 in order to bring

00:25:14.420 --> 00:25:15.100
 to him

00:25:15.100 --> 00:25:15.940
 the condemnation

00:25:15.940 --> 00:25:17.620
 that's due to him

00:25:17.620 --> 00:25:18.840
 but he embraces him

00:25:18.840 --> 00:25:20.460
 and he kisses him.

00:25:21.460 --> 00:25:23.420
 He fell on his neck

00:25:23.420 --> 00:25:24.480
 some translations

00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:25.319
 will say

00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:25.940
 he

00:25:25.940 --> 00:25:27.700
 collapsed

00:25:27.700 --> 00:25:28.940
 onto his son

00:25:28.940 --> 00:25:29.980
 and wrapped his arms

00:25:29.980 --> 00:25:31.180
 around him

00:25:31.180 --> 00:25:32.140
 and the tense

00:25:32.140 --> 00:25:33.160
 of kissed him

00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:33.860
 means to

00:25:33.860 --> 00:25:35.400
 kiss him

00:25:35.400 --> 00:25:36.539
 repeatedly.

00:25:36.539 --> 00:25:38.619
 this compassion

00:25:38.619 --> 00:25:40.099
 is overflowing

00:25:40.099 --> 00:25:41.259
 into a great

00:25:41.259 --> 00:25:42.059
 joy

00:25:42.059 --> 00:25:42.759
 to see

00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:43.759
 his son

00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:45.359
 return.

00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:47.639
 John MacArthur

00:25:47.639 --> 00:25:48.059
 said

00:25:48.059 --> 00:25:49.259
 of this little

00:25:49.259 --> 00:25:49.740
 moment

00:25:49.740 --> 00:25:50.519
 in the story

00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:51.659
 the prodigal

00:25:51.659 --> 00:25:52.319
 came home

00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:52.879
 prepared

00:25:52.879 --> 00:25:53.839
 to kiss

00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:54.680
 his father's

00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:55.099
 feet

00:25:55.099 --> 00:25:56.240
 instead

00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:57.599
 the father

00:25:57.599 --> 00:25:58.579
 was kissing

00:25:58.579 --> 00:25:59.819
 the prodigal's

00:25:59.819 --> 00:26:00.799
 pig stinking

00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:01.319
 head.

00:26:01.319 --> 00:26:04.079
 And the father's

00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:04.439
 compassion

00:26:04.439 --> 00:26:04.799
 does not

00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:05.559
 stop there.

00:26:06.460 --> 00:26:06.980
 Secondly

00:26:06.980 --> 00:26:08.259
 let's look at

00:26:08.259 --> 00:26:08.799
 the son

00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:09.659
 interrupted

00:26:09.659 --> 00:26:12.139
 and restored

00:26:12.139 --> 00:26:12.519
 verses

00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:13.579
 21

00:26:13.579 --> 00:26:14.879
 and 22.

00:26:16.200 --> 00:26:17.039
 So what happens?

00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:17.559
 The son

00:26:17.559 --> 00:26:18.480
 launches into

00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:19.119
 his speech

00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:21.700
 just up in

00:26:21.700 --> 00:26:22.379
 verse 18

00:26:22.379 --> 00:26:22.919
 and 19

00:26:22.919 --> 00:26:24.500
 but he doesn't

00:26:24.500 --> 00:26:25.319
 get all the way

00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:25.859
 through it

00:26:25.859 --> 00:26:26.919
 and I love this

00:26:26.919 --> 00:26:27.240
 in Jesus'

00:26:27.439 --> 00:26:28.159
 telling here

00:26:28.159 --> 00:26:28.720
 he says

00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:29.439
 father I'm sitting

00:26:29.439 --> 00:26:29.819
 against heaven

00:26:29.819 --> 00:26:30.379
 and before you

00:26:30.380 --> 00:26:31.660
 I am no longer

00:26:31.660 --> 00:26:32.780
 worthy to be

00:26:32.780 --> 00:26:33.460
 called your son

00:26:33.460 --> 00:26:34.340
 and what is it

00:26:34.340 --> 00:26:34.760
 that he was going

00:26:34.760 --> 00:26:35.260
 to go on to say

00:26:35.260 --> 00:26:36.560
 treat me as one

00:26:36.560 --> 00:26:37.600
 of your hired

00:26:37.600 --> 00:26:38.860
 servants

00:26:38.860 --> 00:26:39.920
 but he gets

00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:40.520
 interrupted

00:26:40.520 --> 00:26:41.300
 I think that's

00:26:41.300 --> 00:26:41.960
 the right way

00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:43.200
 to read this

00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:43.540
 right

00:26:43.540 --> 00:26:44.940
 the conjunction

00:26:44.940 --> 00:26:45.660
 verse 22

00:26:45.660 --> 00:26:46.580
 but is in the

00:26:46.580 --> 00:26:47.460
 original text

00:26:47.460 --> 00:26:48.340
 but the father

00:26:48.340 --> 00:26:49.880
 he's in the middle

00:26:49.880 --> 00:26:50.500
 of the speech

00:26:50.500 --> 00:26:51.720
 but rather than

00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:52.240
 him getting to

00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:53.340
 finish the speech

00:26:53.340 --> 00:26:54.460
 he said

00:26:54.460 --> 00:26:55.280
 I'm not worthy

00:26:55.280 --> 00:26:55.720
 to be called

00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:56.000
 your son

00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:56.460
 what does the

00:26:56.460 --> 00:26:57.540
 father do?

00:26:58.020 --> 00:26:59.020
 He does all

00:26:59.020 --> 00:26:59.880
 of these things

00:26:59.880 --> 00:27:01.060
 to show

00:27:01.060 --> 00:27:01.800
 the son

00:27:01.800 --> 00:27:02.280
 that he

00:27:02.280 --> 00:27:03.240
 is restored

00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:03.800
 to him

00:27:03.800 --> 00:27:05.600
 as a son

00:27:05.600 --> 00:27:06.540
 he says

00:27:06.540 --> 00:27:07.300
 to his servants

00:27:07.300 --> 00:27:08.960
 bring quickly

00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:09.640
 here's the running

00:27:09.640 --> 00:27:10.620
 that's going on

00:27:10.620 --> 00:27:10.940
 right

00:27:10.940 --> 00:27:12.120
 I'm presuming

00:27:12.120 --> 00:27:12.520
 they're still

00:27:12.520 --> 00:27:13.360
 outside the town

00:27:13.360 --> 00:27:13.920
 they've yet to

00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:14.720
 walk through

00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:15.760
 the crowd

00:27:15.760 --> 00:27:17.120
 back to the house

00:27:17.120 --> 00:27:18.280
 and he sends

00:27:18.280 --> 00:27:18.740
 the servants

00:27:18.740 --> 00:27:19.360
 running

00:27:19.360 --> 00:27:20.260
 you gotta imagine

00:27:20.260 --> 00:27:21.300
 they ran after him

00:27:21.300 --> 00:27:22.240
 why is our master

00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:22.680
 running

00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:23.760
 let's run after him

00:27:23.760 --> 00:27:24.720
 to see what's going on

00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:26.000
 they send him

00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:26.620
 he sends some

00:27:26.620 --> 00:27:27.200
 of them back

00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:28.279
 to bring what?

00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:29.420
 the best robe

00:27:29.420 --> 00:27:30.819
 a ring

00:27:30.819 --> 00:27:32.480
 and shoes

00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:34.220
 these are significant

00:27:34.220 --> 00:27:34.799
 things

00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:36.279
 that this loving

00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:36.680
 father

00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:38.120
 brought to put on

00:27:38.120 --> 00:27:39.000
 his youngest

00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:39.839
 son

00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:40.620
 first the

00:27:40.620 --> 00:27:42.339
 best robe

00:27:42.339 --> 00:27:43.120
 is brought

00:27:43.120 --> 00:27:43.519
 and it's

00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:44.480
 put on him

00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:45.500
 the best robe

00:27:45.500 --> 00:27:47.220
 was an extremely

00:27:47.220 --> 00:27:47.940
 significant

00:27:47.940 --> 00:27:48.940
 article of clothing

00:27:48.940 --> 00:27:50.620
 every wealthy man

00:27:50.620 --> 00:27:51.380
 would own

00:27:51.380 --> 00:27:52.759
 an ornate robe

00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:54.039
 made of the finest

00:27:54.039 --> 00:27:54.720
 fabrics

00:27:54.720 --> 00:27:56.440
 that was reserved

00:27:56.440 --> 00:27:57.519
 for the very

00:27:57.519 --> 00:27:58.960
 most special

00:27:58.960 --> 00:28:00.279
 of events

00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:02.119
 this was a robe

00:28:02.119 --> 00:28:03.119
 that the owner

00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:04.579
 wouldn't wear

00:28:04.579 --> 00:28:05.519
 to a wedding

00:28:05.519 --> 00:28:06.539
 he was invited to

00:28:06.539 --> 00:28:07.400
 this is how special

00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:07.779
 it was

00:28:07.779 --> 00:28:08.420
 but would rather

00:28:08.420 --> 00:28:09.379
 only wear it

00:28:09.379 --> 00:28:10.019
 to the weddings

00:28:10.019 --> 00:28:11.220
 of their own

00:28:11.220 --> 00:28:12.240
 children

00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:13.200
 we don't have

00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:14.140
 anything like this

00:28:14.140 --> 00:28:14.819
 in our culture

00:28:14.819 --> 00:28:16.220
 I don't even think

00:28:16.220 --> 00:28:16.980
 most people own

00:28:16.980 --> 00:28:18.319
 like a nice tux

00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:18.940
 anymore

00:28:18.940 --> 00:28:19.720
 right

00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:21.420
 this would have been

00:28:21.420 --> 00:28:22.440
 better than that

00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:23.320
 this was in

00:28:23.320 --> 00:28:24.640
 high reserve

00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:25.519
 for very

00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:26.860
 very special

00:28:26.860 --> 00:28:27.940
 events

00:28:27.940 --> 00:28:28.940
 this robe

00:28:28.940 --> 00:28:29.360
 and it was

00:28:29.360 --> 00:28:31.220
 his robe

00:28:31.220 --> 00:28:33.120
 giving this robe

00:28:33.120 --> 00:28:33.799
 to the son

00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:34.519
 is not even

00:28:34.519 --> 00:28:35.600
 a normal honor

00:28:35.600 --> 00:28:36.259
 that a son

00:28:36.259 --> 00:28:37.120
 would receive

00:28:37.120 --> 00:28:37.840
 right

00:28:37.840 --> 00:28:39.000
 this isn't

00:28:39.000 --> 00:28:39.740
 extra special

00:28:39.740 --> 00:28:40.340
 it's a very

00:28:40.340 --> 00:28:42.080
 high honor

00:28:42.080 --> 00:28:43.080
 and what he

00:28:43.080 --> 00:28:43.759
 is doing

00:28:43.759 --> 00:28:44.880
 is he is saying

00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:46.960
 this

00:28:46.960 --> 00:28:48.059
 boy

00:28:48.059 --> 00:28:49.220
 that rebelled

00:28:49.220 --> 00:28:49.700
 against me

00:28:49.700 --> 00:28:50.500
 is restored

00:28:50.500 --> 00:28:51.240
 to the honor

00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:52.000
 of my

00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:52.759
 house

00:28:52.759 --> 00:28:53.119
 right

00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:54.220
 this is my

00:28:54.220 --> 00:28:54.920
 best

00:28:54.920 --> 00:28:55.720
 robe

00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:56.380
 and I am

00:28:56.380 --> 00:28:56.880
 putting it

00:28:56.880 --> 00:28:58.460
 on him

00:28:58.460 --> 00:28:59.619
 he belongs

00:28:59.619 --> 00:29:00.779
 to me

00:29:00.779 --> 00:29:01.539
 so as he gets

00:29:01.539 --> 00:29:02.240
 taken back

00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:03.220
 through that town

00:29:03.220 --> 00:29:04.559
 everyone can see

00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:05.660
 the son

00:29:05.660 --> 00:29:06.380
 has been

00:29:06.380 --> 00:29:08.140
 restored

00:29:08.140 --> 00:29:10.560
 psalm 5

00:29:10.560 --> 00:29:11.020

00:29:11.020 --> 00:29:12.280
 also from

00:29:12.280 --> 00:29:13.320
 our reading

00:29:13.320 --> 00:29:14.200
 this week

00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:16.160
 says

00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:16.720
 for you are not

00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:17.220
 a god who

00:29:17.220 --> 00:29:18.020
 delights in

00:29:18.020 --> 00:29:18.660
 wickedness

00:29:18.660 --> 00:29:19.560
 evil

00:29:19.560 --> 00:29:21.000
 may not

00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:21.480
 dwell

00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:22.400
 with you

00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:23.440
 so

00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:24.160
 god our

00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:24.620
 father

00:29:24.620 --> 00:29:25.180
 cannot

00:29:25.180 --> 00:29:26.220
 exist with

00:29:26.220 --> 00:29:26.740
 us

00:29:26.740 --> 00:29:27.640
 in wickedness

00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:28.060
 god can

00:29:28.060 --> 00:29:28.740
 associate

00:29:28.740 --> 00:29:29.660
 with us

00:29:29.660 --> 00:29:30.620
 in our

00:29:30.620 --> 00:29:32.180
 unrighteousness

00:29:32.180 --> 00:29:32.460
 right

00:29:32.460 --> 00:29:33.080
 in our

00:29:33.080 --> 00:29:33.980
 evil deeds

00:29:33.980 --> 00:29:35.020
 in our

00:29:35.020 --> 00:29:35.940
 rebellion

00:29:35.940 --> 00:29:36.980
 so how is it

00:29:36.980 --> 00:29:37.559
 that we come

00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:38.320
 into right

00:29:38.320 --> 00:29:38.980
 relationship

00:29:38.980 --> 00:29:39.779
 with him

00:29:39.779 --> 00:29:42.059
 it's that

00:29:42.059 --> 00:29:43.480
 our sin

00:29:43.480 --> 00:29:45.000
 is imputed

00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:45.720
 to christ

00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:46.220
 as christ

00:29:46.220 --> 00:29:46.799
 died on the

00:29:46.799 --> 00:29:47.259
 cross

00:29:47.259 --> 00:29:48.860
 he took

00:29:48.860 --> 00:29:49.539
 our sin

00:29:49.539 --> 00:29:51.100
 and we're

00:29:51.100 --> 00:29:51.660
 given

00:29:51.660 --> 00:29:52.779
 his righteousness

00:29:52.779 --> 00:29:53.700
 his perfect

00:29:53.700 --> 00:29:54.279
 life is

00:29:54.279 --> 00:29:54.820
 imputed

00:29:54.820 --> 00:29:55.759
 to us

00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:56.220
 it's called

00:29:56.220 --> 00:29:56.820
 the double

00:29:56.820 --> 00:29:57.519
 imputation

00:29:57.519 --> 00:29:58.100
 right

00:29:58.100 --> 00:29:58.539
 it's this

00:29:58.539 --> 00:29:59.779
 great trade

00:29:59.779 --> 00:30:00.360
 martin luther

00:30:00.360 --> 00:30:00.720
 called it

00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:01.059
 the great

00:30:01.059 --> 00:30:01.940
 exchange

00:30:01.940 --> 00:30:02.779
 right

00:30:02.779 --> 00:30:03.360
 our sin

00:30:03.360 --> 00:30:03.740
 given to

00:30:03.740 --> 00:30:04.120
 christ

00:30:04.120 --> 00:30:05.460
 his righteousness

00:30:05.460 --> 00:30:05.920
 given

00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:07.600
 to us

00:30:07.600 --> 00:30:07.880
 and we

00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:08.519
 often speak

00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:08.940
 in terms

00:30:08.940 --> 00:30:09.340
 of being

00:30:09.340 --> 00:30:10.220
 clothed

00:30:10.220 --> 00:30:10.720
 in the

00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:11.200
 righteousness

00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:12.759
 of christ

00:30:12.759 --> 00:30:14.140
 you see

00:30:14.140 --> 00:30:14.600
 the picture

00:30:14.600 --> 00:30:15.000
 here

00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:16.860
 god comes

00:30:16.860 --> 00:30:17.500
 to us

00:30:17.500 --> 00:30:19.039
 in repentance

00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:19.440
 of faith

00:30:19.440 --> 00:30:19.759
 he comes

00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:19.960
 to us

00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:20.160
 and he

00:30:20.160 --> 00:30:21.060
 wraps us

00:30:21.060 --> 00:30:22.060
 in christ

00:30:22.060 --> 00:30:22.720
 righteousness

00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:23.259
 he says

00:30:23.259 --> 00:30:24.220
 this is

00:30:24.220 --> 00:30:24.800
 my

00:30:24.800 --> 00:30:25.980
 son

00:30:25.980 --> 00:30:27.700
 and when

00:30:27.700 --> 00:30:28.200
 he sees

00:30:28.200 --> 00:30:28.660
 us

00:30:28.660 --> 00:30:29.980
 he sees

00:30:29.980 --> 00:30:30.580
 christ

00:30:30.580 --> 00:30:32.400
 and escorts

00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:32.980
 us back

00:30:32.980 --> 00:30:34.000
 to the

00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:34.420

 paul writes

00:30:35.340 --> 00:30:35.560
 in 2

00:30:35.560 --> 00:30:35.900
 corinthians

00:30:36.180 --> 00:30:36.500

00:30:36.500 --> 00:30:37.080
 for our

00:30:37.080 --> 00:30:37.460
 sake

00:30:37.460 --> 00:30:38.300
 he made

00:30:38.300 --> 00:30:38.680
 him to

00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:38.820
 be

00:30:38.820 --> 00:30:39.060
 sin

00:30:39.060 --> 00:30:39.519
 who knew

00:30:39.519 --> 00:30:39.820
 no

00:30:39.820 --> 00:30:40.280
 sin

00:30:40.280 --> 00:30:41.300
 so that

00:30:41.300 --> 00:30:42.060
 in him

00:30:42.060 --> 00:30:42.640
 we might

00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:42.980
 become

00:30:42.980 --> 00:30:43.700
 the righteousness

00:30:43.700 --> 00:30:44.860
 of god

00:30:44.860 --> 00:30:45.500
 i think this

00:30:45.500 --> 00:30:46.120
 is the best

00:30:46.120 --> 00:30:47.140
 verse that

00:30:47.140 --> 00:30:47.580
 speaks of

00:30:47.580 --> 00:30:47.980
 double

00:30:47.980 --> 00:30:49.500
 imputation

 that meant

00:30:58.819 --> 00:30:59.279
 something

00:30:59.279 --> 00:31:01.240
 said this

 there

00:31:04.980 --> 00:31:04.980


00:31:04.980 --> 00:31:05.500
 is probably

 we are

00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:23.519
 clothed

00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:24.059
 in his

00:31:24.059 --> 00:31:24.599
 righteousness

00:31:24.599 --> 00:31:26.180
 christ

00:31:26.180 --> 00:31:26.720
 bearing our

00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:27.039
 sins

00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:27.419
 did not

00:31:27.419 --> 00:31:28.059
 make him

00:31:28.059 --> 00:31:28.680
 morally

00:31:28.680 --> 00:31:29.359
 a sinner

00:31:29.359 --> 00:31:30.879
 nor does

00:31:30.879 --> 00:31:31.399
 christ's

00:31:31.399 --> 00:31:31.759
 righteousness

00:31:31.759 --> 00:31:32.299
 become

00:31:32.299 --> 00:31:33.319
 subjectively

00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:34.079
 ours

00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:35.019
 it is not

00:31:35.019 --> 00:31:35.539
 the moral

00:31:35.539 --> 00:31:36.500
 quality

00:31:36.500 --> 00:31:36.940
 of our

00:31:36.940 --> 00:31:37.680
 souls

00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:39.399
 our

00:31:39.399 --> 00:31:39.879
 sins

00:31:39.879 --> 00:31:40.159
 were the

00:31:40.159 --> 00:31:40.639
 judicial

00:31:40.639 --> 00:31:41.419
 ground

00:31:41.419 --> 00:31:41.839
 of the

00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:42.319
 sufferings

00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:43.019
 of christ

00:31:43.019 --> 00:31:43.940
 so that

00:31:43.940 --> 00:31:44.180
 they were

00:31:44.180 --> 00:31:44.799
 a satisfaction

00:31:44.799 --> 00:31:45.759
 of justice

00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:46.920
 and his

00:31:46.920 --> 00:31:47.460
 righteousness

00:31:47.460 --> 00:31:48.059
 is the

00:31:48.059 --> 00:31:48.579
 judicial

00:31:48.579 --> 00:31:49.099
 ground

00:31:49.099 --> 00:31:49.680
 of our

00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:50.480
 acceptance

00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:52.099
 with god

00:31:52.099 --> 00:31:52.879
 right

00:31:52.879 --> 00:31:53.799
 so the

00:31:53.799 --> 00:31:54.220
 prodigal

00:31:54.220 --> 00:31:54.660
 was still

00:31:54.660 --> 00:31:55.279
 the prodigal

00:31:55.279 --> 00:31:55.599
 he was

00:31:55.599 --> 00:31:56.079
 still the

00:31:56.079 --> 00:31:56.319
 son

00:31:56.319 --> 00:31:56.640
 and he

00:31:56.640 --> 00:31:57.079
 had still

00:31:57.079 --> 00:31:57.579
 done the

00:31:57.579 --> 00:31:57.980
 things he

00:31:57.980 --> 00:31:58.500
 had done

00:31:58.500 --> 00:31:59.220
 but he's

00:31:59.220 --> 00:32:00.740
 now clothed

00:32:00.740 --> 00:32:01.519
 in the

00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:02.420
 father's

00:32:02.420 --> 00:32:03.140
 robe

00:32:03.140 --> 00:32:03.559
 right

00:32:03.559 --> 00:32:04.579
 he is now

00:32:04.579 --> 00:32:05.660
 no longer

00:32:05.660 --> 00:32:06.319
 to be

00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:07.500
 scorned

00:32:07.500 --> 00:32:07.720
 right

00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:08.619
 abused

00:32:08.619 --> 00:32:09.299
 spit upon

00:32:09.299 --> 00:32:09.920
 by the

00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:10.660
 town folks

00:32:10.660 --> 00:32:11.059
 right

00:32:11.059 --> 00:32:11.740
 because he

00:32:11.740 --> 00:32:12.220
 has been

00:32:12.220 --> 00:32:12.940
 restored

00:32:12.940 --> 00:32:14.059
 as a son

00:32:14.059 --> 00:32:15.160
 but not only

00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:15.440
 that

00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:15.799
 not only

00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:16.039
 is the

00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:16.380
 best

00:32:16.380 --> 00:32:16.779
 robe

00:32:16.779 --> 00:32:17.100
 brought

00:32:17.100 --> 00:32:17.460
 to him

00:32:17.460 --> 00:32:17.820
 and put

00:32:17.820 --> 00:32:18.279
 on him

00:32:18.279 --> 00:32:18.980
 but also

00:32:18.980 --> 00:32:20.059
 a ring

00:32:20.059 --> 00:32:21.480
 now this

00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:21.920
 ring

00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:22.700
 would have

00:32:22.700 --> 00:32:23.340
 been a

00:32:23.340 --> 00:32:24.120
 signet

00:32:24.120 --> 00:32:24.420
 ring

00:32:24.420 --> 00:32:24.700
 which would

00:32:24.700 --> 00:32:25.100
 have carried

00:32:25.100 --> 00:32:25.720
 the family

00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:26.279
 crest

00:32:26.279 --> 00:32:26.920
 or seal

00:32:26.920 --> 00:32:28.000
 so that it

00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:28.259
 could be

00:32:28.259 --> 00:32:28.740
 pressed

00:32:28.740 --> 00:32:29.680
 into wax

00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:30.400
 on formal

00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:30.799
 letters

00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:31.660
 or documents

00:32:31.660 --> 00:32:32.820
 as verification

00:32:32.820 --> 00:32:33.580
 of legal

00:32:33.580 --> 00:32:34.100
 authority

00:32:34.100 --> 00:32:35.140
 probably seen

00:32:35.140 --> 00:32:35.559
 a movie

00:32:35.559 --> 00:32:36.140
 in which this

00:32:36.140 --> 00:32:36.559
 happened

00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:37.180
 right

00:32:37.180 --> 00:32:37.900
 they often

00:32:37.900 --> 00:32:38.440
 wore that

00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:39.779
 as a

00:32:39.779 --> 00:32:40.160
 ring

00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:40.580
 right

00:32:40.580 --> 00:32:40.880
 so that

00:32:40.880 --> 00:32:41.160
 they can

00:32:41.160 --> 00:32:41.680
 make that

00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:42.420
 stamp

00:32:42.420 --> 00:32:43.460
 on letters

00:32:43.460 --> 00:32:44.240
 or documents

00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:44.660
 right

00:32:44.660 --> 00:32:46.140
 so in

00:32:46.140 --> 00:32:46.800
 placing a

00:32:46.800 --> 00:32:47.120
 ring on

00:32:47.120 --> 00:32:47.540
 the finger

00:32:47.540 --> 00:32:47.880
 of his

00:32:47.880 --> 00:32:48.279
 son

00:32:48.279 --> 00:32:49.480
 the father

00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:49.960
 is not

00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:50.519
 only showing

00:32:50.519 --> 00:32:51.019
 that the

00:32:51.019 --> 00:32:51.900
 son had

00:32:51.900 --> 00:32:52.440
 restored

00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:53.120
 honor

00:32:53.120 --> 00:32:54.620
 but also

00:32:54.620 --> 00:32:55.720
 restored

00:32:55.720 --> 00:32:56.759
 authority

00:32:56.759 --> 00:32:58.400
 he's saying

00:32:58.400 --> 00:32:59.380
 once again

00:32:59.380 --> 00:33:00.700
 this young

00:33:00.700 --> 00:33:01.279
 man

00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:02.220
 is my

00:33:02.220 --> 00:33:02.700
 son

00:33:02.700 --> 00:33:03.080
 and he

00:33:03.080 --> 00:33:03.820
 speaks

00:33:03.820 --> 00:33:04.900
 on my

00:33:04.900 --> 00:33:05.660
 behalf

00:33:05.660 --> 00:33:07.820

00:33:09.120 --> 00:33:10.120
 20

00:33:10.120 --> 00:33:10.620
 just a

00:33:10.620 --> 00:33:10.800
 verse

00:33:10.800 --> 00:33:11.160
 before

00:33:11.160 --> 00:33:11.519
 where we

00:33:11.519 --> 00:33:11.720
 just

00:33:11.720 --> 00:33:12.140
 were

 paul

00:33:13.100 --> 00:33:13.279
 says

00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:13.740
 therefore

00:33:13.740 --> 00:33:15.720
 we are

00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:16.460
 ambassadors

00:33:18.340 --> 00:33:18.880
 making his

00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:19.320
 appeal

00:33:19.320 --> 00:33:20.259
 through us

00:33:26.040 --> 00:33:27.120
 so just

 as we've

00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:27.960
 been clothed

00:33:44.019 --> 00:33:44.720
 for christ

00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:46.279
 inconsistency

00:33:46.279 --> 00:33:46.579
 with his

00:33:46.579 --> 00:33:46.920

00:33:46.920 --> 00:33:47.440

00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:48.720
 as a

 side

00:33:48.920 --> 00:33:49.180
 note

00:33:49.180 --> 00:33:52.019
 but not

00:33:52.019 --> 00:33:52.319
 only

00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:53.379
 the best

00:33:53.379 --> 00:33:53.759
 robe

00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:54.960
 and a

00:33:54.960 --> 00:33:55.279
 ring

00:33:55.279 --> 00:33:57.019
 but also

00:33:57.019 --> 00:33:57.559
 shoes

00:33:57.559 --> 00:33:59.359
 hired

00:33:59.359 --> 00:34:00.000
 servants

00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:00.899
 and

 household

00:34:01.500 --> 00:34:02.279
 slaves

00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:03.619
 customarily

00:34:03.619 --> 00:34:04.079
 went

00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:09.579
 right

00:34:09.579 --> 00:34:09.840
 so it's

00:34:09.840 --> 00:34:10.300
 another

 have

00:34:13.400 --> 00:34:13.840
 shoes

00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:14.300
