00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.879
 Now, I'm not very good at standing still, so I'm not going to stand still over here.

00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:12.560
 I shall wander around and I hope that that's okay and that you can still see me.

00:00:14.900 --> 00:00:20.780
 Well, in that passage, we heard Jesus talking to Nicodemus.

00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:25.019
 And as we heard right at the beginning, he's a Pharisee.

00:00:25.140 --> 00:00:28.100
 He's a member of the Jewish council.

00:00:28.100 --> 00:00:32.740
 He should not be seen speaking to Jesus.

00:00:32.740 --> 00:00:35.980
 And so, he comes at night.

00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:38.420
 He hides in the darkness.

00:00:39.800 --> 00:00:43.880
 Coming to speak with Jesus was him living a bit dangerously, really.

00:00:44.780 --> 00:00:49.920
 But curiosity about Jesus had got the better of him.

00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:54.520
 He calls Jesus Rabbi.

00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:58.000
 He recognizes that Jesus is a teacher.

00:00:58.100 --> 00:01:07.439
 As many others did at that time who had heard him, heard his teaching as he taught remarkable things with remarkable stories in remarkable ways.

00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:15.780
 But because he's also seen the things that Jesus has done, he wants to know more.

00:01:15.780 --> 00:01:24.260
 He's recognizing that God is here amongst them in a new way.

00:01:25.019 --> 00:01:26.640
 And he wants to understand.

00:01:28.060 --> 00:01:39.340
 And Jesus challenges him to come into the light, to be born again, to come out of the shadows and into the light.

00:01:39.340 --> 00:01:42.280
 There's loads of references in the Bible about light.

00:01:42.380 --> 00:01:45.620
 It's one of those things you'll read of over and over again.

00:01:45.820 --> 00:01:48.600
 Right there, right at the beginning in Genesis.

00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.300
 Let there be light.

00:01:51.299 --> 00:01:58.700
 And in the New Testament, we hear lots of images, lots of words about light.

00:01:58.700 --> 00:02:06.179
 John's gospel speaks about the light shining in the darkness and the light that gives life to everyone.

00:02:07.259 --> 00:02:10.139
 Paul talks about a kingdom of light.

00:02:10.139 --> 00:02:17.519
 And Peter talks of the followers of Jesus as being called into God's light.

00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:19.919
 Moving from a place of darkness.

00:02:20.859 --> 00:02:22.879
 Moving into God's light.

00:02:23.099 --> 00:02:24.579
 With God's understanding.

00:02:25.079 --> 00:02:26.159
 With God's spirit.

00:02:26.839 --> 00:02:27.619
 Being born again.

00:02:28.979 --> 00:02:32.500
 Jesus, of course, also used light to talk about himself, didn't he?

00:02:32.500 --> 00:02:37.039
 He said, I am the light of the world.

00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:46.319
 And just as he did with Nicodemus, he tells his followers to be light and to reflect his light.

00:02:46.659 --> 00:02:51.060
 The light of life that gives life to all people.

00:02:53.419 --> 00:02:55.519
 And of course, the same is true with us.

00:02:55.579 --> 00:02:59.299
 When we recognize Jesus as for who he is,

00:03:00.299 --> 00:03:05.519
 when we grab hold of his hand and recognize who he is and all he did for us,

00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:10.460
 and we step into that light, we too can be born again.

00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:14.219
 The Son of God.

00:03:14.219 --> 00:03:21.300
 He challenges Nicodemus and he challenges us to step out into that light.

00:03:23.180 --> 00:03:24.400
 So what?

00:03:24.900 --> 00:03:26.800
 What does that look like?

00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:32.280
 What does it mean for us to live as disciples in the light?

00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:37.159
 First of all, of course, we need to be seen.

00:03:37.300 --> 00:03:41.259
 I think we might have a slide that, there we go, we need to be seen.

00:03:41.379 --> 00:03:44.479
 I'm sure you'll recognize those as sparklers.

00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:53.300
 And there's a story told of a little girl who was shivering her way along the main street one winter's evening.

00:03:53.300 --> 00:03:59.219
 And she saw a church with the lights pouring out and she could hear music.

00:03:59.939 --> 00:04:04.100
 And as she was cold, she went into the church to warm herself for a little while.

00:04:04.500 --> 00:04:08.200
 And as she listened to the preacher, she heard him say,

00:04:08.320 --> 00:04:09.840
 I am the light of the world.

00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:15.900
 So at the end of the service, as she was coming out and the preacher was stood at the door,

00:04:15.900 --> 00:04:17.160
 as preachers often do.

00:04:17.500 --> 00:04:21.180
 And she said, did you say that you were the light of the world?

00:04:23.220 --> 00:04:25.040
 No, said the preacher.

00:04:26.060 --> 00:04:28.579
 Jesus is the light of the world.

00:04:28.860 --> 00:04:32.220
 Those of us that believe in him are like little lights.

00:04:33.699 --> 00:04:36.420
 And the little girl looked at him for a moment and said,

00:04:36.420 --> 00:04:41.000
 Well, I wish you'd come down here and shine in my alley

00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:45.180
 because it's cold and it's dark down there.

00:04:47.699 --> 00:04:53.300
 I think it packs quite a punch, that story about how we be God's light,

00:04:53.300 --> 00:04:59.780
 where we go, how we show, how we be God's people in the world,

00:05:00.780 --> 00:05:06.240
 reminding us that we need to live out the faith that we proclaim.

00:05:06.420 --> 00:05:12.300
 And yes, that can be a little overwhelming to think that day by day,

00:05:12.420 --> 00:05:15.560
 minute by minute, we're living out as God's disciples.

00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:17.259
 It can be hugely challenging.

00:05:17.699 --> 00:05:20.580
 Because I don't know about you, but not long after I've had my breakfast,

00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:21.720
 I kind of mess up.

00:05:22.780 --> 00:05:25.360
 Living each and every day is hard work, isn't it?

00:05:26.520 --> 00:05:29.920
 And what if we mess up and someone sees us?

00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:34.560
 Have you ever had anyone say to you,

00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:36.420
 I thought you were a Christian?

00:05:37.740 --> 00:05:39.620
 Anyone ever had that said to them?

00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:41.879
 I know I have.

00:05:42.660 --> 00:05:46.120
 Maybe sometimes if I get a bit impatient at the supermarket

00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:48.420
 or I'm sitting in a traffic jam,

00:05:48.840 --> 00:05:50.459
 I'm not very good at sitting in traffic.

00:05:52.019 --> 00:05:56.379
 Particularly if two lorries are driving side by side,

00:05:56.519 --> 00:06:00.000
 you know, one in the inside lane and one in the middle lane

00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:01.660
 and neither's overtaking the other,

00:06:02.300 --> 00:06:03.899
 I get quite frustrated.

00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:09.759
 There's a whole list of things that I could tell you about times

00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:12.139
 when I am not always patient

00:06:12.139 --> 00:06:15.500
 and struggle sometimes to live as a disciple.

00:06:16.779 --> 00:06:17.860
 But when I was younger,

00:06:17.980 --> 00:06:18.899
 can we have the next picture?

00:06:18.899 --> 00:06:22.279
 I had one of these.

00:06:22.479 --> 00:06:26.259
 In fact, I still got it in my drawer upstairs,

00:06:26.459 --> 00:06:27.719
 in the bedroom upstairs.

00:06:28.339 --> 00:06:29.699
 Has anyone ever had one of these?

00:06:29.799 --> 00:06:32.339
 A what would Jesus do bracelet

00:06:32.339 --> 00:06:36.979
 to remind us to do what Jesus would do.

00:06:37.099 --> 00:06:38.399
 So if we're having a, you know,

00:06:38.479 --> 00:06:39.699
 what on earth do I do?

00:06:40.159 --> 00:06:41.560
 Well, what would Jesus do?

00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:44.019
 To remind us to live out the life

00:06:44.019 --> 00:06:45.479
 that he has called to us.

00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:47.939
 Although, to be honest,

00:06:48.580 --> 00:06:53.120
 what would Jesus do on the M5 sometimes?

00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.180
 Sometimes it's hard, isn't it?

00:06:58.780 --> 00:07:00.439
 Yes, people watch us.

00:07:00.660 --> 00:07:01.980
 Of course they watch us.

00:07:02.259 --> 00:07:05.640
 They wait quite excited about the fact

00:07:05.640 --> 00:07:07.520
 that we might actually make a mistake

00:07:07.520 --> 00:07:09.160
 and then they can pull us up and say,

00:07:09.280 --> 00:07:12.020
 ha ha, I thought you were a Christian.

00:07:12.019 --> 00:07:15.659
 And it might mean that sometimes

00:07:15.659 --> 00:07:19.879
 we feel that we better wait a while.

00:07:20.039 --> 00:07:22.159
 We stay in the shadows for a little bit

00:07:22.159 --> 00:07:24.299
 until we're better at being Christians.

00:07:24.740 --> 00:07:26.120
 You know, until we're perfect

00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:27.819
 and we've got it all sussed.

00:07:28.219 --> 00:07:30.120
 And then, when we're better,

00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:32.639
 we can step out of the shadows

00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:35.099
 because now we're better Christians than we were.

00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:37.479
 We're more proficient.

00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:38.859
 We make fewer mistakes.

00:07:38.860 --> 00:07:43.100
 But actually, the mistakes that we make

00:07:43.100 --> 00:07:45.100
 are actually part and parcel

00:07:45.100 --> 00:07:48.460
 of living as a light in God's world.

00:07:49.540 --> 00:07:51.560
 Because it's not about the mistake.

00:07:52.420 --> 00:07:56.360
 It's about how you deal with the mistakes.

00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:57.740
 We can never be perfect,

00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:00.280
 which is quite good news for me.

00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:02.360
 Can never, ever be perfect.

00:08:03.379 --> 00:08:04.680
 But that's okay.

00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:06.519
 Because actually,

00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:09.180
 when we go to one another and seek forgiveness,

00:08:09.699 --> 00:08:11.220
 when we've hurt one another,

00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:13.639
 when we've done what we shouldn't do

00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:15.939
 and we come before God asking for forgiveness

00:08:15.939 --> 00:08:17.460
 in need of his grace,

00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:19.780
 people see that too.

00:08:20.460 --> 00:08:21.500
 I thought you were a Christian

00:08:21.500 --> 00:08:23.519
 and yes, I've done that wrong.

00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:25.860
 But actually, I know that.

00:08:26.420 --> 00:08:28.280
 And I've come before God to say sorry

00:08:28.280 --> 00:08:31.340
 and to hear about and to receive his grace.

00:08:31.339 --> 00:08:35.480
 We don't have to wait

00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:38.059
 until we're perfect Christians.

00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:42.179
 Thank heavens, literally, for that.

00:08:43.659 --> 00:08:47.120
 We need to step out of the shadows,

00:08:47.379 --> 00:08:49.860
 trusting in God's grace

00:08:49.860 --> 00:08:52.720
 for what he calls us to do.

00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:53.959
 I always think of God's grace

00:08:53.959 --> 00:08:55.459
 as a kind of safety net.

00:08:55.779 --> 00:08:56.959
 It's there for us.

00:08:57.339 --> 00:08:59.399
 It catches us if we fall.

00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:01.860
 We can draw strength on him,

00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:03.659
 from him, once again.

00:09:03.980 --> 00:09:05.899
 His grace holds us

00:09:05.899 --> 00:09:07.579
 and keeps us

00:09:07.579 --> 00:09:09.360
 as we come to him.

00:09:10.699 --> 00:09:12.559
 And that's good news, isn't it?

00:09:12.959 --> 00:09:13.840
 And so as Christians,

00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:16.139
 we need to be seen warts and all

00:09:16.139 --> 00:09:17.639
 because those warts

00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:18.939
 and how we deal with them

00:09:18.939 --> 00:09:21.379
 are key to showing others

00:09:21.379 --> 00:09:22.740
 what it means to walk

00:09:22.740 --> 00:09:24.500
 in the light of God.

00:09:24.500 --> 00:09:27.220
 But as disciples,

00:09:27.740 --> 00:09:29.159
 we need to be seen

00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:31.480
 and we need to be heard.

00:09:32.139 --> 00:09:33.419
 We need to be light

00:09:33.419 --> 00:09:36.279
 in a difficult and dark world,

00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:39.340
 even when that is hard,

00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:43.419
 even when that makes us unpopular.

00:09:43.419 --> 00:09:47.360
 There is no such thing

00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:49.979
 as a secret disciple

00:09:49.979 --> 00:09:51.959
 in a world,

00:09:52.719 --> 00:09:53.879
 in a country

00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:55.719
 where we are free to gather,

00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:57.500
 where we are free

00:09:57.500 --> 00:09:58.919
 to read our Bibles,

00:09:59.439 --> 00:10:00.459
 where we are free

00:10:00.459 --> 00:10:01.799
 to live out the faith

00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:02.719
 that we proclaim.

00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:07.740
 Our faith is not private.

00:10:07.959 --> 00:10:09.159
 It shouldn't be private.

00:10:10.019 --> 00:10:11.879
 Personal, yes.

00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:15.000
 but private, no.

00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:17.080
 For our faith

00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.200
 is what we live out

00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:20.820
 in the everyday world.

00:10:21.340 --> 00:10:23.000
 Free to read our Bibles,

00:10:23.620 --> 00:10:25.740
 free to step out of the shadows

00:10:25.740 --> 00:10:27.639
 and into the light.

00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:30.120
 And not for our own sake.

00:10:32.100 --> 00:10:34.059
 We're not born again.

00:10:34.179 --> 00:10:35.779
 We don't receive God's Spirit.

00:10:35.940 --> 00:10:37.980
 We don't step into that light

00:10:37.980 --> 00:10:39.500
 for our own sake.

00:10:39.500 --> 00:10:41.679
 And we do so

00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:42.980
 for the sake of the world.

00:10:45.940 --> 00:10:47.259
 Jesus says,

00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:48.440
 come into the light

00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:51.360
 so that others can see

00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:54.039
 what God is doing.

00:10:54.039 --> 00:11:00.019
 If we look at Matthew's gospel

00:11:00.019 --> 00:11:05.299
 and he tells us of Jesus saying,

00:11:05.939 --> 00:11:08.579
 let your light shine before others.

00:11:08.839 --> 00:11:10.159
 This little light of mine,

00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:11.439
 I'm going to let it shine.

00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:12.980
 I'm sure some of you remember

00:11:12.980 --> 00:11:14.240
 singing that at school.

00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:15.179
 I certainly do.

00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:17.139
 Let it shine before others

00:11:17.139 --> 00:11:18.399
 so that they may see

00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:19.659
 your good works

00:11:19.659 --> 00:11:22.039
 and give glory

00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:24.360
 to God in heaven.

00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:27.360
 A light that needs to be seen.

00:11:27.459 --> 00:11:29.000
 A light that isn't hidden

00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:30.459
 under a basket.

00:11:31.299 --> 00:11:33.059
 Not so that people might think

00:11:33.059 --> 00:11:35.059
 how amazing we are

00:11:35.059 --> 00:11:35.980
 as Christians,

00:11:36.980 --> 00:11:38.719
 but so they can glimpse

00:11:38.719 --> 00:11:39.839
 through our words

00:11:39.839 --> 00:11:41.199
 and through our actions.

00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:43.659
 So they can glimpse

00:11:43.659 --> 00:11:44.740
 just for a moment

00:11:44.740 --> 00:11:45.699
 that little bit

00:11:45.699 --> 00:11:46.939
 of God's kingdom.

00:11:46.940 --> 00:11:49.220
 the love and grace

00:11:49.220 --> 00:11:50.480
 of God

00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:51.700
 that is for all people.

00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:55.920
 Now I remember

00:11:55.920 --> 00:11:57.580
 at the turn

00:11:57.580 --> 00:11:58.580
 of the millennium,

00:11:58.680 --> 00:11:59.440
 does anyone remember

00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:00.680
 the turn of the millennium?

00:12:01.180 --> 00:12:03.520
 It's 26 years ago.

00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:05.620
 How can that be?

00:12:05.700 --> 00:12:07.340
 It made me feel really old

00:12:07.340 --> 00:12:08.660
 when I thought about it.

00:12:09.660 --> 00:12:10.860
 But I can remember

00:12:10.860 --> 00:12:12.960
 26 years ago

00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:14.340
 watching the television

00:12:14.340 --> 00:12:16.420
 as we move

00:12:16.420 --> 00:12:17.660
 not just into a new year

00:12:17.660 --> 00:12:18.800
 but into a new millennium.

00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:19.700
 And I remember it

00:12:19.700 --> 00:12:21.160
 because Mike and I

00:12:21.160 --> 00:12:22.460
 decided that we should

00:12:22.460 --> 00:12:23.580
 wake up the children

00:12:23.580 --> 00:12:25.100
 so that they saw

00:12:25.100 --> 00:12:26.780
 this bit of history too.

00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:28.620
 Because it was really important

00:12:28.620 --> 00:12:29.460
 they could say

00:12:29.460 --> 00:12:30.540
 they remember

00:12:30.540 --> 00:12:32.800
 moving into the new millennium.

00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:36.080
 Well, Matt was only four

00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:38.100
 so he doesn't really

00:12:38.100 --> 00:12:40.040
 remember it at all.

00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:42.100
 But I remember

00:12:42.100 --> 00:12:43.100
 when we sat there,

00:12:43.100 --> 00:12:44.000
 the four of us

00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:46.220
 as the clock struck midnight

00:12:46.220 --> 00:12:47.639
 and the new year

00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:48.840
 and the new millennium

00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:49.680
 rolled in

00:12:49.680 --> 00:12:51.580
 beacons were lit

00:12:51.580 --> 00:12:53.399
 across the UK

00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:54.800
 and it was a really

00:12:54.800 --> 00:12:56.320
 powerful moment.

00:12:56.800 --> 00:12:57.139
 And of course

00:12:57.139 --> 00:12:58.340
 that happened again

00:12:58.340 --> 00:12:59.740
 at the late Queen's

00:12:59.740 --> 00:13:02.279
 Platinum Jubilee celebration.

00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:03.340
 She lit the first

00:13:03.340 --> 00:13:04.300
 of those beacons

00:13:04.300 --> 00:13:05.840
 and beacons were lit

00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:07.860
 right across the UK.

00:13:09.500 --> 00:13:11.960
 Really powerful moment

00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:13.660
 marking a really

00:13:13.660 --> 00:13:15.560
 important moment.

00:13:16.780 --> 00:13:17.580
 Beacons

00:13:17.580 --> 00:13:19.759
 burning brightly.

00:13:20.940 --> 00:13:22.100
 And to me

00:13:22.100 --> 00:13:23.120
 it felt like a very

00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:24.680
 hopeful sign.

00:13:25.860 --> 00:13:27.040
 And that's

00:13:27.040 --> 00:13:29.180
 what we are called to be.

00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:32.000
 When the world

00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:33.600
 seems hopeless

00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:35.659
 we are called

00:13:35.659 --> 00:13:36.560
 to be hope

00:13:36.560 --> 00:13:37.759
 by burning

00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:38.920
 brightly.

00:13:39.580 --> 00:13:40.240
 Beacons

00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:41.519
 of light

00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:43.500
 and of hope.

00:13:43.899 --> 00:13:45.000
 Blazing with the

00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:46.340
 reflected light

00:13:46.340 --> 00:13:47.440
 of God.

00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:48.860
 Just as the moon

00:13:48.860 --> 00:13:50.139
 reflects the light

00:13:50.139 --> 00:13:50.759
 of the sun

00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:51.940
 so we are challenged

00:13:51.940 --> 00:13:52.740
 to reflect

00:13:52.740 --> 00:13:53.639
 the light

00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:54.620
 of Jesus.

00:13:55.659 --> 00:13:56.879
 To shine

00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:57.899
 unhampered

00:13:57.899 --> 00:13:59.840
 without that fear

00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:01.040
 of getting things wrong

00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:01.839
 because we have

00:14:01.839 --> 00:14:02.480
 God's grace

00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:03.339
 to catch us

00:14:03.339 --> 00:14:04.199
 without that

00:14:04.199 --> 00:14:04.919
 embarrassment

00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:06.279
 that we might feel.

00:14:06.579 --> 00:14:07.179
 That fear

00:14:07.179 --> 00:14:07.679
 that actually

00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:08.539
 someone might

00:14:08.539 --> 00:14:09.579
 find us out.

00:14:10.199 --> 00:14:11.000
 To shine

00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:12.099
 not for our own

00:14:12.099 --> 00:14:12.519
 glory

00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:13.360
 but for the

00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:14.579
 glory of

00:14:14.579 --> 00:14:15.240
 God.

00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:19.379
 And when I'm

00:14:19.379 --> 00:14:20.459
 preparing a

00:14:20.459 --> 00:14:21.500
 talk or a sermon

00:14:21.500 --> 00:14:22.199
 or whatever you

00:14:22.199 --> 00:14:22.860
 want to call it

00:14:22.860 --> 00:14:23.980
 I always look

00:14:23.980 --> 00:14:24.939
 at different

00:14:24.939 --> 00:14:25.699
 translations

00:14:25.699 --> 00:14:26.740
 of the Bible

00:14:26.740 --> 00:14:27.719
 to see if they

00:14:27.719 --> 00:14:28.719
 might help

00:14:28.719 --> 00:14:29.579
 bring some

00:14:29.580 --> 00:14:31.060
 new parts

00:14:31.060 --> 00:14:31.520
 or a new

00:14:31.520 --> 00:14:32.100
 ones that I'd

00:14:32.100 --> 00:14:32.740
 not really

00:14:32.740 --> 00:14:33.280
 picked up

00:14:33.280 --> 00:14:33.740
 before.

00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:34.900
 And I read

00:14:34.900 --> 00:14:35.500
 the message

00:14:35.500 --> 00:14:36.060
 whilst I was

00:14:36.060 --> 00:14:36.860
 looking at this

00:14:36.860 --> 00:14:38.240
 and the Bible

00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:39.460
 puts it this way

00:14:39.460 --> 00:14:40.820
 you are here

00:14:40.820 --> 00:14:42.120
 to be light

00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:44.080
 bringing out

00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:44.879
 the colours

00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:46.300
 in God's

00:14:46.300 --> 00:14:46.900
 world.

00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:48.480
 God is not

00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:49.000
 a secret

00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:49.960
 to be kept.

00:14:50.379 --> 00:14:51.240
 I love that

00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:52.259
 the bringing

00:14:52.259 --> 00:14:53.180
 out of the

00:14:53.180 --> 00:14:53.620
 colours

00:14:53.620 --> 00:14:55.020
 in God's

00:14:55.020 --> 00:14:55.460
 world.

00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:56.240
 And they

00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:56.920
 bring to mind

00:14:56.920 --> 00:14:57.540
 that picture

00:14:57.540 --> 00:14:58.660
 there of

00:14:58.660 --> 00:14:59.259
 a prism

00:14:59.259 --> 00:15:00.000
 that beam

00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:00.720
 of light

00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:01.480
 travelling

00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:02.200
 through the

00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:02.600
 prism

00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:03.779
 and that's

00:15:03.779 --> 00:15:04.360
 splitting

00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:05.419
 into the

00:15:05.419 --> 00:15:06.100
 beautiful

00:15:06.100 --> 00:15:07.039
 colours

00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:08.120
 of the

00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:08.559
 rainbow.

00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:10.200
 That's what

00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:11.139
 we are called

00:15:11.139 --> 00:15:11.879
 to be

00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:13.340
 as light.

00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:15.439
 And how

00:15:15.439 --> 00:15:15.899
 do we do

00:15:15.899 --> 00:15:16.179
 that?

00:15:16.340 --> 00:15:16.539
 Well

00:15:16.539 --> 00:15:17.840
 you might be

00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:18.480
 familiar with

00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:19.340
 the Micah

00:15:19.340 --> 00:15:19.899
 challenge

00:15:19.899 --> 00:15:20.460
 the prophet

00:15:20.460 --> 00:15:20.980
 Micah

00:15:20.980 --> 00:15:22.159
 talks about

00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:23.419
 how we

00:15:23.419 --> 00:15:24.080
 do that

00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:24.580
 how we

00:15:24.580 --> 00:15:25.120
 live

00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:25.740
 as

00:15:25.740 --> 00:15:26.460
 Christians

00:15:26.460 --> 00:15:27.639
 and

00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:28.080
 again

00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:28.460
 I

00:15:28.460 --> 00:15:28.780
 use

00:15:28.780 --> 00:15:29.080
 the

00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:29.780
 message

00:15:29.780 --> 00:15:30.840
 version

00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:31.100
 it

00:15:31.100 --> 00:15:31.340
 says

00:15:31.340 --> 00:15:31.800
 this

00:15:31.800 --> 00:15:32.800
 God's

00:15:32.800 --> 00:15:33.220
 already

00:15:33.220 --> 00:15:33.620
 made

00:15:33.620 --> 00:15:33.820
 it

00:15:33.820 --> 00:15:34.320
 plain

00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:34.820
 as to

00:15:34.820 --> 00:15:35.500
 how to

00:15:35.500 --> 00:15:35.700
 live

00:15:35.700 --> 00:15:36.000
 and what

00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:36.440
 to do

00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:38.100
 what God

00:15:38.100 --> 00:15:38.560
 is looking

00:15:38.560 --> 00:15:39.180
 for in

00:15:39.180 --> 00:15:39.800
 men and

00:15:39.800 --> 00:15:40.060
 women

00:15:40.060 --> 00:15:40.600
 is quite

00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:41.200
 simple

00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:42.800
 do what

00:15:42.800 --> 00:15:43.420
 is fair

00:15:43.420 --> 00:15:44.420
 and just

00:15:44.420 --> 00:15:44.860
 to your

00:15:44.860 --> 00:15:45.240
 neighbour

00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:46.240
 be

00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:46.920
 compassionate

00:15:46.920 --> 00:15:47.700
 and loyal

00:15:47.700 --> 00:15:48.220
 in your

00:15:48.220 --> 00:15:48.680
 love

00:15:48.680 --> 00:15:49.980
 don't take

00:15:49.980 --> 00:15:50.320
 yourself

00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:50.620
 too

00:15:50.620 --> 00:15:51.259
 seriously

00:15:51.259 --> 00:15:52.159
 take

00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:52.960
 God

00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:54.159
 seriously

00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:57.319
 it's a

00:15:57.319 --> 00:15:57.720
 challenge

00:15:57.720 --> 00:15:58.059
 that

00:15:58.059 --> 00:15:58.360
 isn't

00:15:58.360 --> 00:15:58.620
 it

00:15:58.620 --> 00:15:59.759
 a

00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:00.220
 challenge

00:16:00.220 --> 00:16:01.620
 to do

00:16:01.620 --> 00:16:02.059
 what is

00:16:02.059 --> 00:16:02.480
 just

00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:03.519
 and fair

00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:04.779
 compassionate

00:16:04.779 --> 00:16:06.279
 and loyal

00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:08.980
 to do

00:16:08.980 --> 00:16:09.399
 what that

00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:10.100
 little girl

00:16:10.100 --> 00:16:10.819
 asked

00:16:10.819 --> 00:16:12.159
 I wish

00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:12.419
 you could

00:16:12.419 --> 00:16:13.000
 come down

00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:13.519
 here and

00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:14.019
 hang out

00:16:14.019 --> 00:16:14.460
 in our

00:16:14.460 --> 00:16:14.759
 alley

00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:15.860
 because

00:16:15.860 --> 00:16:16.080
 it's

00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:16.639
 cold

00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:17.600
 and it's

00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:18.019
 dark

00:16:18.019 --> 00:16:18.360
 down

00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:18.759
 here

00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:23.220
 welcoming

00:16:23.220 --> 00:16:23.480
 the

00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:23.980
 stranger

00:16:23.980 --> 00:16:25.519
 feeding

00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:25.720
 the

00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:26.159
 hungry

00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:27.500
 showing

00:16:27.500 --> 00:16:28.100
 compassion

00:16:28.100 --> 00:16:29.559
 speaking

00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:30.039
 out

00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:30.480
 against

00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:31.299
 injustice

00:16:31.299 --> 00:16:32.439
 crossing

00:16:32.439 --> 00:16:33.220
 the barriers

00:16:33.220 --> 00:16:34.200
 of race

00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:35.039
 gender

00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:36.139
 and class

00:16:36.139 --> 00:16:37.519
 and all

00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:37.919
 those

00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:38.720
 decisive

00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:40.179
 barriers

00:16:40.179 --> 00:16:40.759
 that

00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:41.519
 we

00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:41.960
 put

00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:42.220
 in

00:16:42.220 --> 00:16:42.720
 place

00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:44.779
 we

00:16:44.779 --> 00:16:45.279
 can't

00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:45.639
 proclaim

00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:46.759
 faith

00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:47.879
 unless

00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:48.460
 we

00:16:48.460 --> 00:16:48.700
 live

00:16:48.700 --> 00:16:49.000
 it

00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:50.860
 we

00:16:50.860 --> 00:16:51.179
 need

00:16:51.179 --> 00:16:51.399
 to

00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:52.100
 shine

00:16:52.100 --> 00:16:53.419
 not

00:16:53.419 --> 00:16:53.879
 hide

00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:54.179
 in the

00:16:54.179 --> 00:16:54.679
 shadows

00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:55.019
 like

00:16:55.019 --> 00:16:55.700
 Nicodemus

00:16:55.700 --> 00:16:56.059
 did

00:16:56.059 --> 00:16:57.200
 to

00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:57.559
 step

00:16:57.559 --> 00:16:58.080
 out

00:16:58.080 --> 00:16:59.039
 to

00:16:59.039 --> 00:16:59.299
 know

00:16:59.299 --> 00:16:59.759
 Jesus

00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:00.679
 to

00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:01.039
 seek

00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:01.299
 his

00:17:01.299 --> 00:17:01.840
 grace

00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:02.299
 to

00:17:02.299 --> 00:17:02.600
 be

00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:03.039
 forgiven

00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:03.960
 to

00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:04.180
 be

00:17:04.180 --> 00:17:04.460
 filled

00:17:04.460 --> 00:17:04.680
 with

00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:04.880
 his

00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:05.339
 spirit

00:17:05.339 --> 00:17:06.240
 to

00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:06.660
 be

00:17:06.660 --> 00:17:07.339
 born

00:17:07.339 --> 00:17:07.900
 again

00:17:07.900 --> 00:17:11.700
 there's

00:17:11.700 --> 00:17:12.099
 a story

00:17:12.099 --> 00:17:12.579
 told

00:17:12.579 --> 00:17:12.980
 about

00:17:12.980 --> 00:17:13.220
 Saint

00:17:13.619 --> 00:17:14.220

00:17:14.220 --> 00:17:14.980
 a man

00:17:14.980 --> 00:17:15.440
 who gave

00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:15.819
 away

00:17:15.819 --> 00:17:16.259
 everything

00:17:16.259 --> 00:17:16.660
 he had

00:17:16.660 --> 00:17:17.000

00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:17.240
 poor

00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:18.120
 who walked

00:17:18.120 --> 00:17:19.359
 unarmed

00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:19.920
 into a

00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:24.240
 war

00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:25.279

 millions

00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:26.620
 of
