00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.000
 I don't know how many of you have heard of song by the Boontown Rats, I Don't Like Mondays.

00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:14.000
 I remember that I bought this record in this country, in this city, in London, when I was a teenager.

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:18.000
 And every time I was going to secondary school, the song was in my head, no?

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:21.000
 Tell me why, tell me why, I don't like Mondays.

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:25.000
 And Mondays are a depressing day for many people.

00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:34.000
 And you wonder why, of course, it's got to do with the thing you have to do with the beginning of a new week.

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:41.000
 Then you realize how much is the burden of your life.

00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:48.000
 I don't know if you are aware that there is more possibilities that you have a heart attack on Monday than on any other day.

00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:55.000
 Some say that the blood tension is so high that even you can have a stroke.

00:00:55.000 --> 00:01:02.000
 And even the possibility of an ulcer, they say that it's bigger.

00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:17.000
 Maybe you find a strange figure, but some people say that twice there is more the chance that people commit suicide on Monday than any other day.

00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:27.000
 But, of course, we realize that this has not only to do with work, but with the purpose of it.

00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:31.000
 The reason we live, why we are here for.

00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:38.000
 Because idleness can be attractive if you have something to do.

00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.000
 If you don't have anything to do, you cannot enjoy idleness.

00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:52.000
 In a way, this is the problem we face, when the things we have to do are in front of us on a new week.

00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:58.000
 And it's really to do with the purpose of our lives.

00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:00.000
 What we are here for.

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:15.000
 And Jesus has this story, these amazing parables, which really are often striking, because it's in the end, in the tale of the story, when it's the great surprise.

00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:20.000
 And here, like in most of the stories of Jesus, it's a strange end.

00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:25.000
 It's not really the conclusion with respect at the end of the story.

00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:38.000
 But it brings us something, not only of the perspective of Jesus Christ and his message, but the reality of our own expectations.

00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:43.000
 In Jesus' day, people were waiting for better times.

00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:45.000
 They call it the kingdom.

00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:46.000
 The kingdom of God.

00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:51.000
 When he will come and he will rule and things will be as they need to be.

00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:58.000
 But in this Gospel according to Luke, it's the story of a journey.

00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:06.000
 The journey of Jesus and also the announcement in the center of what he's going to do in Jerusalem.

00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:14.000
 And from that very moment, he finds all these reactions to him.

00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:27.000
 Why he speaks about his death, about his sacrifice, what he's going to offer, giving his own life in Jerusalem.

00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:32.000
 In a way, our lives are also like a journey.

00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:41.000
 And here, the Lord Jesus Christ shows us what is really the greatest goal and purpose for our lives.

00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:44.000
 To live for that kingdom.

00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.000
 And this is hope.

00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:51.000
 Because without hope, there is no life at all.

00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:58.000
 It's Woody Allen, I think, who says that the future is not what it used to be.

00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:10.000
 And the reality is that so many doomed thinkers saying that what we have to face is even worse things that we have today.

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:15.000
 It makes us really wonder what future have we got for our lives.

00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:21.000
 When we come to this life, we all have dreams, expectations, ambitions.

00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:26.000
 But when you get older, like me, you start to think that finally, better forget them.

00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:29.000
 Because you are not going to fulfill them anyway.

00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:34.000
 And this is a hard factor we have to face very soon in our lives.

00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:44.000
 The fact that these dreams and expectations cannot be achieved by ourselves.

00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:51.000
 But here, the Lord proposes to us better goals and achievements.

00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:56.000
 What is the purpose and the end of his kingdom?

00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:08.000
 And I would like to show you this evening three reactions you find here, in the parable, about what people can think about the kingdom.

00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:17.000
 First, you have the really shocking scene of those who reject this kingdom.

00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.000
 You see that there is no future for them.

00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:28.000
 Those who have said, I don't want him, ask him, they will not have him.

00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:29.000
 Forever.

00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:30.000
 For an eternity.

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:31.000
 Without him.

00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:34.000
 And this is a shocking reality.

00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:53.000
 What we face here is the danger we all have when we say that we prefer our dreams, our goals, our ambitions to what God showed us through Jesus Christ.

00:05:53.000 --> 00:06:00.000
 And one day, this is the message again and again in the gospel.

00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.000
 We will have to face him.

00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:05.000
 And then he will be the king.

00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:08.000
 We don't have the last word.

00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.000
 This is the hard thing for us.

00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:14.000
 To realize that we have to take a second place.

00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:16.000
 He must be the first.

00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:23.000
 And it is not the question if you want to, if you like to.

00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:26.000
 The truth is that he is going to rule.

00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:29.000
 And there is only two possibilities.

00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.000
 Or you are under his rule, no?

00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:33.000
 Or you are against his rule.

00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:37.000
 And if you are against it, there is no future for you.

00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:42.000
 Because the whole message of the gospel is his victory.

00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:51.000
 He has finally not only got the last words, but there will be no enemies in that kingdom.

00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:54.000
 No dissenting voices.

00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.000
 Everyone will worship him.

00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:00.000
 Everyone will acknowledge and assault him.

00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:03.000
 Because he is the king of kings.

00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:08.000
 And all kingdoms will be under his throne.

00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:15.000
 And he will be forever, the whole eternity, the only king.

00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.000
 So there are only two possibilities for us.

00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:20.000
 Or we submit to him.

00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:23.000
 We surrender to him.

00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:29.000
 Or we will see one day what it is to resist him.

00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:41.000
 And after this serious danger, we find another two reactions.

00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:46.000
 And these two are surprising.

00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:53.000
 Because all of us think that the purpose, the goal of our lives is what we can achieve.

00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:56.000
 What we can get.

00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:01.000
 But we see how different really is at the end of the day.

00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:08.000
 First you have some servants who come before this king.

00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:16.000
 And they show him what they have achieved with their lives.

00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:23.000
 With their resources, the endowments, the talents, the minus they have received.

00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:30.000
 There has been a lot of discussion in the commentaries about what does it mean, no?

00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:32.000
 These minus.

00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:35.000
 Some people say, well, maybe it's the gospel.

00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:36.000
 What we have done with it.

00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:42.000
 Others have said, the Holy Spirit, the greatest gift we can receive from the Father.

00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:44.000
 That is the minus.

00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:53.000
 And others think that the way we use our resources, everything we receive in this life from him.

00:08:53.000 --> 00:09:00.000
 I would say that probably all those things are included in the minus.

00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:05.000
 Like in so many parables, it's easy to get lost in the trees, no?

00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:08.000
 Not to see the forest, the purpose of it all.

00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:12.000
 And the truth is that he is not anymore with us.

00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:17.000
 That is what he is saying again and again to his disciples.

00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:28.000
 And as we have remembered one Ascension Day recently, we don't have our Lord upon this earth.

00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:32.000
 We cannot organize pilgrimage to the Holy Land to see him.

00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:34.000
 It would be a disappointment, you know?

00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:36.000
 So long queues, no?

00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:44.000
 So a difficult journey just to be, just for a moment, to see his face for an instant.

00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:46.000
 It's a blessing for us.

00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:51.000
 So the Lord says, it's better for you that I don't stay here.

00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:53.000
 Because I have something better for you.

00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:55.000
 That is someone.

00:09:55.000 --> 00:10:03.000
 Someone who is another Christ, the Conforter, in my place, the Holy Spirit.

00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.000
 And this is the greatest gift we can receive now.

00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:19.000
 And it's interesting that this is introduced in the way the Lord Jesus speaks to us about God as our Father.

00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:34.000
 He says to him, if you, who are not good, but bad parents, when your children ask you something, breath, are you going to give them a stone?

00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:41.000
 When they ask you for food, are you going to give them a snake?

00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:54.000
 Being not good and being evil, if you do that, why do you think your Father in Heaven is not going to give you better things?

00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:59.000
 So the Lord concludes that section.

00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:04.000
 Ask them the greatest gift of all, the Holy Spirit.

00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:09.000
 So this is the reality we can have today.

00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:15.000
 The Spirit brings us the life of the Son to us, Jesus Christ.

00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:21.000
 And we can understand about Him through His testimony.

00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:27.000
 It's through Him that we realize what good is to come.

00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:32.000
 He is the assurance we have that we are His children.

00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:40.000
 So the testimony of the Spirit goes not only with His words, but works deeply inside us.

00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:47.000
 The Apostle John speaks about this inner testimony that you are children of God.

00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:59.000
 The Apostle Paul in Romans 8 speaks about how this sonship awareness comes through the work of the Holy Spirit.

00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:06.000
 And what a great difference makes in this life to know that you are not alone.

00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:14.000
 That you don't have to face this task and existence without a Father.

00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:17.000
 You are not an orphan anymore.

00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:21.000
 You have God as your Father.

00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:26.000
 And the Lord teaches to pray to our Father in Heaven.

00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:32.000
 And you see, this is the problem of the last servant.

00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:42.000
 The last servant, what view has he got of God, of the ruler, of the king?

00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:54.000
 When the Master comes, his first words give us exactly the view of God.

00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:59.000
 And he is so close to us, so familiar to us.

00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:02.000
 He is afraid of Him.

00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:09.000
 I don't know how much you have been afraid of God, but it depends on how good you feel.

00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:19.000
 When you think that you have a problem with Him, it is when you realize how far you are away from Him.

00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:29.000
 That is probably what Luther said when he said that before you have Christ as a friend, you have to see Him as your enemy.

00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:40.000
 In a way, there is no way to come in a relationship with Him if first we don't realize the distance.

00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:42.000
 How far away is from Him.

00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:49.000
 But not only the distance, the fact that He has something against us.

00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:58.000
 That our sin has made this big problem which we cannot resolve.

00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:02.000
 Then we are afraid of that day.

00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:07.000
 Some of you have the privilege of being raised in a Christian family.

00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:11.000
 I am one of the few Spanish evangelicals who had that opportunity.

00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:14.000
 And it is an advantage.

00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:19.000
 And at the same time, of course, it can be a problem sometimes.

00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:29.000
 But I remember always that this fear of what it meant the responsibility I have.

00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:35.000
 When I was growing up in the 70s, we used to have a lot of comics.

00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.000
 It was the entertainment of those days before the computers came.

00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:41.000
 And there were even Christian comics.

00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:44.000
 You know there is a Christian alternative for everything.

00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:47.000
 We have built a subculture like that.

00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:51.000
 And some who have been growing in the church, we have grown in the subculture.

00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:55.000
 With the Christian music and everything Christian.

00:14:55.000 --> 00:15:03.000
 And one of these comics is rather worse.

00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:05.000
 A publishing company in America.

00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:07.000
 Very fundamentalistic.

00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:08.000
 It is called Chick Publications.

00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:12.000
 Chick Publications has a very low series of comics.

00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:15.000
 Very popular in the States between Americans.

00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:20.000
 And one of them was the expectation of what could be the last day.

00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:26.000
 And that last day, there would be a film.

00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:28.000
 So, in a big screen.

00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:33.000
 And you could see in the drawing all the people around the hills

00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:37.000
 looking like a cinemascope screen.

00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:39.000
 Well, the younger ones don't know what is cinemascope.

00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:42.000
 But it was a very big screen, you know.

00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:44.000
 Like in the old cinema.

00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:47.000
 When the theatres were very big, you know.

00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:49.000
 And there were crowds, you know.

00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:52.000
 Going to the cinema on the weekends.

00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:55.000
 And the nightmare I have, you know.

00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:59.000
 Is that the story of that film was my life, you know.

00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:04.000
 And what you will see is what I would not like you to see.

00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:07.000
 The things I must say of.

00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:10.000
 The realities I have.

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:12.000
 And that was a nightmare.

00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:15.000
 To think that one day you have to face yourself.

00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:18.000
 The reality of who you are.

00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:22.000
 And this is really the greatest hopelessness of it all.

00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:26.000
 And that is what that wicked servant experienced.

00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:29.000
 The fear is God, no?

00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:33.000
 That he has to face such a demanding master.

00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:40.000
 Someone who is going to ask you, what have you done with your life?

00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:43.000
 And he has this distorted view of him.

00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:46.000
 Because when you think about it, he is not so mean.

00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:50.000
 He has given them not only the minas.

00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:52.000
 All these gifts.

00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:54.000
 And that is what he is sharing with them.

00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:56.000
 In fact, in that kingdom.

00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:59.000
 It is not someone who is exploding them.

00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:04.000
 Who wants to use them for his own benefit only.

00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:07.000
 He wants to share with them what it means.

00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:09.000
 The goodness of that kingdom.

00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:14.000
 But that wicked servant thinks only in his fears.

00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:21.000
 And that is very often the truth when we look at ourselves.

00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:27.000
 When we look at ourselves, we realize how much we miss.

00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:30.000
 How much we miss first in us.

00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:34.000
 We are not the people who we would like to be.

00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:40.000
 We realize how far we are to be the good servants.

00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:42.000
 Who can hear that day.

00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:44.000
 Good and faithful servant.

00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:46.000
 Come with me.

00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:54.000
 Some are afraid that that day we will not hear good and faithful servant.

00:17:54.000 --> 00:18:02.000
 And like that man, our gifts, everything we have received from him, is well kept.

00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:09.000
 Hidden, preserved, conserved, but not used for him and his kingdom.

00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:11.000
 Why?

00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:15.000
 First, because of this self-pity.

00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:18.000
 Maybe we think like this man, what have I got?

00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:22.000
 If you notice the difference between these servants and the others.

00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:26.000
 There is also a different number.

00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:28.000
 He has got only one man.

00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:31.000
 The others have got several.

00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:33.000
 And it is multiplied.

00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:34.000
 They got more with that.

00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:36.000
 But this man has only one.

00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:41.000
 And very often we think of our lives like that.

00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:43.000
 What can I do?

00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:46.000
 I am not such a great person.

00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:50.000
 Maybe if I have the ability to speak well.

00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:52.000
 Or I could be a preacher.

00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:54.000
 Or if I would not be so shy.

00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:57.000
 I could tell more to the people.

00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:03.000
 This good news from the kingdom of God.

00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:05.000
 You wonder if you would have more money.

00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:11.000
 What I could do for God's kingdom and his purpose.

00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:13.000
 If I would have the abilities.

00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:15.000
 What I don't have.

00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:16.000
 But here we see.

00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:22.000
 This is exactly what the Lord does not expect from us.

00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:28.000
 He is not going to judge us according to how much gifts we have received.

00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:30.000
 How much talents.

00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:31.000
 How much abilities.

00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:33.000
 How much resources.

00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:34.000
 Endowments.

00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:36.000
 Is not the number.

00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:41.000
 It is clearly the lesson of the other servants.

00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:45.000
 The servants got.

00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:47.000
 Because of the use they have done.

00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:48.000
 Of the miners.

00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:50.000
 They received citizenship.

00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:56.000
 And some have got a greater number than others.

00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:57.000
 But it doesn't matter.

00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:01.000
 The point is not how much have you got.

00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:06.000
 It is not how much do you achieve in your life.

00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:07.000
 As we usually say.

00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:09.000
 It is not success.

00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:12.000
 But faithfulness really.

00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:15.000
 But how is faithfulness here seen.

00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:19.000
 It is interesting that those of us who are more conservative.

00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:22.000
 In a biblical and theological way.

00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:25.000
 Tend to be conservative in everything.

00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:27.000
 So very often.

00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:29.000
 We are afraid.

00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:30.000
 So much.

00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:31.000
 Of everything.

00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:32.000
 That.

00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:35.000
 Not trying to put in danger.

00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:37.000
 But we have got.

00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:40.000
 We have gambled on.

00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:43.000
 The greatest loss of it all.

00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:44.000
 Trying to keep.

00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:47.000
 The things we have got.

00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:49.000
 Because you see here.

00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:50.000
 That the greatest risk.

00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:52.000
 We can take in this life.

00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:54.000
 Is doing nothing.

00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:57.000
 Do you remember that.

00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:00.000
 The thing Luther wrote to Melaton.

00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:02.000
 Melaton was a very shy person.

00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:05.000
 Who was afraid.

00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:07.000
 Of the steps they were taking.

00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:08.000
 In the reformation.

00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:09.000
 In the 16th century.

00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:10.000
 In Germany.

00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:11.000
 No.

00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:13.000
 And Luther sometimes was fed up.

00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:14.000
 No.

00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:15.000
 With the.

00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:16.000
 The way.

00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:17.000
 He was always.

00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:19.000
 So paralyzed.

00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:20.000
 By his doubts.

00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:21.000
 No.

00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:23.000
 And there is a very well known sentence.

00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:24.000
 He wrote to Melaton.

00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:25.000
 Seen both leads.

00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:26.000
 Seen both leads.

00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:27.000
 Seen both leads.

00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:29.000
 This sentence is something used by Catholics.

00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:30.000
 To say.

00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:31.000
 Yeah.

00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:32.000
 What is this message of God's grace.

00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:33.000
 Seen both leads.

00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:34.000
 Seen both leads.

00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:35.000
 Said Luther.

00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:36.000
 But.

00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:37.000
 Luther mentioned to.

00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:38.000
 And said to Melaton.

00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:39.000
 We've seen both leads.

00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:40.000
 Seen both leads.

00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:41.000
 Was the fact that he.

00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:44.000
 Had to take risks.

00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:45.000
 That.

00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:46.000
 The.

00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:47.000
 The.

00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:48.000
 Responsibility.

00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:49.000
 We have.

00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:50.000
 Means that.

00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:51.000
 We can make mistakes.

00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:52.000
 No.

00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:53.000
 But we have to do something.

00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:54.000
 Something.

00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:55.000
 With what we have received.

00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:57.000
 And it is exactly.

00:21:57.000 --> 00:21:58.000
 What you see here.

00:21:58.000 --> 00:21:59.000
 No.

00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:00.000
 No.

00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:01.000
 The great difference.

00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:02.000
 With our lives.

00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:03.000
 Is.

00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:04.000
 When you see.

00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:05.000
 The goal.

00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:06.000
 The purpose.

00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:07.000
 Of it.

00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:08.000
 This often.

00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:09.000
 The story told.

00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:10.000
 Of.

00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:11.000
 This man.

00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:12.000
 Working.

00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:13.000
 Building.

00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:14.000
 No.

00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:15.000
 And you.

00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:16.000
 Ask one person.

00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:17.000
 Who is just.

00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:18.000
 A.

00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:19.000
 Hammering a rock.

00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:20.000
 No.

00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:21.000
 Working.

00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:22.000
 On the stones.

00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:23.000
 No.

00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:24.000
 And.

00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:25.000
 They ask.

00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:26.000
 What you are doing.

00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:27.000
 No.

00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:28.000
 No.

00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:29.000
 Breaking a stone.

00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:30.000
 No.

00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:31.000
 Doing.

00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:32.000
 The work.

00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:33.000
 He is doing.

00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:34.000
 And you ask.

00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:35.000
 The next person.

00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:36.000
 And.

00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:37.000
 He.

00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:38.000
 Could say.

00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:39.000
 Well.

00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:40.000
 I am earning.

00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:41.000
 My money.

00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:42.000
 I am.

00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:43.000
 Trying to.

00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:44.000
 To provide.

00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:45.000
 My family.

00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:46.000
 With what they need.

00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:47.000
 And of course.

00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:48.000
 The story is that.

00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:49.000
 Only the last one.

00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:50.000
 Is able to say.

00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:51.000
 I am building.

00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:52.000
 A cathedral.

00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:54.000
 He has got the purpose.

00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:55.000
 The goal of it all.

00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:56.000
 No.

00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:57.000
 Jesus.

00:22:57.000 --> 00:22:58.000
 Cannot see further.

00:22:58.000 --> 00:22:58.000


00:22:58.000 --> 00:22:59.000
 Of what they are.

00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:00.000
 Doing.

00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:01.000
 At this very moment.

00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:02.000
 And.

00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:03.000
 That is why.

00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:04.000
 Hope.

00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:05.000
 Is so important.

00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:06.000
 For us.

00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:07.000
 Because.

00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:08.000
 Really.

00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:08.000


00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:09.000
 Not only.

00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:09.000


00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:10.000
 Our life.

00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:11.000
 And our work.

00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:12.000
 Worth.

00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:13.000
 Value.

00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:14.000
 But really.

00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:15.000
 It means.

00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:16.000
 That.

00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:17.000
 We have.

00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:18.000
 This.

00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:19.000
 Salvation.

00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:20.000
 That we.

00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:21.000
 Hope.

00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:22.000
 To get.

00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:23.000
 From our.

00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:23.000


00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:24.000
 Jesus Christ.

00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:27.839
 Christ. And the Lord

00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:31.880
 showed us that that day he is going

00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:35.960
 to come to this earth and bring

00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:40.039
 this kingdom. It's not ourselves who are going

00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:44.059
 to bring the kingdom of God between the people

00:23:44.059 --> 00:23:47.339
 at this present moment. This is of course the greatest

00:23:47.339 --> 00:23:52.180
 mistake of much contemporary theology, of much

00:23:52.180 --> 00:23:56.100
 of the humanistic Christianity, which

00:23:56.100 --> 00:24:00.240
 speaks very boldly about what the work

00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:03.880
 of the Church is achieving between the people and this world today.

00:24:04.380 --> 00:24:08.180
 As if they are building the kingdom in the sense that they are

00:24:08.180 --> 00:24:11.860
 bringing finally this new world of justice

00:24:11.860 --> 00:24:15.500
 just because of the service, the sacrifice,

00:24:15.500 --> 00:24:18.320
 the commitment they have for God.

00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:22.240
 But to pray

00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:24.960
 that the Lord will come

00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:27.319
 means also that our salvation

00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:29.740
 will come from heaven.

00:24:30.980 --> 00:24:32.700
 He will bring this kingdom.

00:24:34.159 --> 00:24:36.559
 And what we here face

00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:38.559
 is what we have to do

00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:40.599
 while we ask

00:24:40.599 --> 00:24:42.359
 that thy kingdom

00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:43.259
 will come.

00:24:43.259 --> 00:24:46.000
 what we have to do

00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:46.920
 is something.

00:24:47.819 --> 00:24:48.940
 This is the point

00:24:48.940 --> 00:24:49.859
 of this story.

00:24:50.480 --> 00:24:51.480
 You cannot just

00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:52.319
 sit down

00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:52.940
 and wait.

00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:54.980
 You need

00:24:54.980 --> 00:24:56.519
 to do something

00:24:56.519 --> 00:24:57.559
 with your life.

00:24:59.000 --> 00:24:59.319
 And

00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:00.759
 the greatest

00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:04.379
 the clearest point

00:25:04.379 --> 00:25:05.319
 of the story

00:25:05.319 --> 00:25:07.539
 is that you have to take risks.

00:25:08.180 --> 00:25:09.299
 That there is a danger.

00:25:09.299 --> 00:25:11.279
 In this investment

00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:13.839
 there is the possibility

00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:14.859
 of a great loss.

00:25:16.419 --> 00:25:16.839
 But

00:25:16.839 --> 00:25:18.559
 what here we learn

00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:20.019
 is that finally

00:25:20.019 --> 00:25:21.879
 there is no loss at all.

00:25:23.460 --> 00:25:24.579
 Like this missionary

00:25:24.579 --> 00:25:26.399
 who was going in Ecuador

00:25:26.399 --> 00:25:28.220
 to the Indians

00:25:28.220 --> 00:25:30.019
 through these plains

00:25:30.019 --> 00:25:30.879
 in the 50s.

00:25:31.319 --> 00:25:32.519
 And they were

00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:33.259
 killed

00:25:33.259 --> 00:25:34.419
 by the spears

00:25:34.419 --> 00:25:35.879
 of those Indians

00:25:35.880 --> 00:25:37.280
 when they were going

00:25:37.280 --> 00:25:38.620
 to preach them

00:25:38.620 --> 00:25:39.340
 the gospel.

00:25:39.700 --> 00:25:40.620
 You know the story.

00:25:41.100 --> 00:25:42.280
 Nathan and Sainz

00:25:42.280 --> 00:25:43.480
 all these

00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:44.920
 men we still remember.

00:25:45.320 --> 00:25:46.300
 One of them

00:25:46.300 --> 00:25:47.460
 wrote

00:25:47.460 --> 00:25:48.360
 these words

00:25:48.360 --> 00:25:49.340
 in his diary.

00:25:50.800 --> 00:25:51.600
 It's not

00:25:51.600 --> 00:25:52.060
 fool

00:25:52.060 --> 00:25:53.980
 to put your life

00:25:53.980 --> 00:25:54.620
 in danger

00:25:54.620 --> 00:25:56.080
 when you don't have

00:25:56.080 --> 00:25:56.880
 nothing to lose.

00:25:58.100 --> 00:25:59.240
 What do you want

00:25:59.240 --> 00:25:59.760
 to keep

00:25:59.760 --> 00:26:00.900
 if you cannot

00:26:00.900 --> 00:26:01.500
 lose it?

00:26:02.620 --> 00:26:03.000
 So

00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:04.440
 the only way

00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:05.640
 we can take risks

00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:06.940
 that we can

00:26:06.940 --> 00:26:08.660
 bring our lives

00:26:08.660 --> 00:26:09.240
 to danger

00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:10.560
 is when we realize

00:26:10.560 --> 00:26:11.420
 that we are safe.

00:26:12.660 --> 00:26:13.540
 That we don't have

00:26:13.540 --> 00:26:14.759
 nothing to be afraid.

00:26:16.040 --> 00:26:16.700
 This is why

00:26:16.700 --> 00:26:17.380
 the Lord says

00:26:17.380 --> 00:26:17.980
 so often

00:26:17.980 --> 00:26:18.880
 to his disciples

00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:21.000
 don't be afraid.

00:26:22.020 --> 00:26:22.600
 The peace

00:26:22.600 --> 00:26:23.460
 be with you.

00:26:24.780 --> 00:26:25.259
 Because

00:26:25.259 --> 00:26:26.120
 it's the fear

00:26:26.120 --> 00:26:27.900
 which paralyzes us.

00:26:28.259 --> 00:26:29.000
 It's the fear

00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:30.280
 which makes us

00:26:30.280 --> 00:26:31.140
 not able

00:26:31.140 --> 00:26:31.980
 to do anything

00:26:31.980 --> 00:26:32.860
 in this life.

00:26:34.300 --> 00:26:34.660
 You know

00:26:34.660 --> 00:26:35.060
 what are

00:26:35.059 --> 00:26:35.899
 the greatest fears?

00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:37.379
 The fears

00:26:37.379 --> 00:26:37.980
 of the unknown.

00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:39.200
 The fears

00:26:39.200 --> 00:26:39.940
 which are not

00:26:39.940 --> 00:26:41.539
 based on reality.

00:26:42.179 --> 00:26:43.419
 The irrational fears

00:26:43.419 --> 00:26:44.179
 we all have

00:26:44.179 --> 00:26:46.319
 that could happen

00:26:46.319 --> 00:26:47.000
 one day

00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:47.859
 our

00:26:47.859 --> 00:26:49.259
 greatest nightmare.

00:26:50.079 --> 00:26:50.960
 What we are

00:26:50.960 --> 00:26:52.039
 more afraid of.

00:26:53.220 --> 00:26:53.839
 And this

00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:54.940
 experience

00:26:54.940 --> 00:26:55.539
 of fear

00:26:55.539 --> 00:26:56.639
 is

00:26:56.639 --> 00:26:57.960
 that make us

00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:01.099
 so difficult

00:27:01.099 --> 00:27:02.460
 to do anything

00:27:02.460 --> 00:27:03.380
 with our lives.

00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:05.940
 So the Lord

00:27:05.940 --> 00:27:08.160
 shows us

00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:09.039
 and he says

00:27:09.039 --> 00:27:09.940
 to his disciples

00:27:09.940 --> 00:27:12.019
 don't be afraid

00:27:12.019 --> 00:27:13.059
 my beloved

00:27:13.059 --> 00:27:13.500
 flock

00:27:13.500 --> 00:27:15.500
 because

00:27:15.500 --> 00:27:16.960
 the pastor

00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:18.620
 has

00:27:18.620 --> 00:27:19.200
 care

00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:20.039
 upon you.

00:27:20.779 --> 00:27:21.259
 There is

00:27:21.259 --> 00:27:22.180
 a shepherd

00:27:22.180 --> 00:27:23.420
 a father

00:27:23.420 --> 00:27:24.019
 in heaven

00:27:24.019 --> 00:27:25.200
 who is

00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:26.059
 taking care

00:27:26.059 --> 00:27:26.640
 of you.

00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:28.140
 And we

00:27:28.140 --> 00:27:28.400
 need

00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:29.380
 not only

00:27:29.380 --> 00:27:30.220
 to hear that

00:27:30.220 --> 00:27:31.120
 but to

00:27:31.120 --> 00:27:31.920
 experience it.

00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:33.640
 So

00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:35.579
 the whole

00:27:35.579 --> 00:27:36.100
 purpose

00:27:36.100 --> 00:27:37.220
 not only

00:27:37.220 --> 00:27:37.799
 of the Bible

00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:38.600
 but of the

00:27:38.600 --> 00:27:39.140
 work of the

00:27:39.140 --> 00:27:39.740
 Holy Spirit

00:27:39.740 --> 00:27:41.839
 is to have

00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:42.720
 this assurance

00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:44.420
 this confidence

00:27:44.420 --> 00:27:45.920
 that we are

00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:46.440
 his children.

00:27:47.600 --> 00:27:48.779
 If we know

00:27:48.779 --> 00:27:49.579
 that we are

00:27:49.579 --> 00:27:50.759
 his children

00:27:50.759 --> 00:27:52.319
 then there is

00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:52.720
 nothing

00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:53.960
 we have to

00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:54.539
 be afraid

00:27:54.539 --> 00:27:54.819
 of.

00:27:54.819 --> 00:27:57.399
 This is

00:27:57.399 --> 00:27:58.079
 certainly

00:27:58.079 --> 00:27:58.519
 the great

00:27:58.519 --> 00:27:58.919
 lesson

00:27:58.919 --> 00:27:59.980
 of the

00:27:59.980 --> 00:28:00.299
 suffering

00:28:00.299 --> 00:28:00.759
 church

00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:01.859
 in so

00:28:01.859 --> 00:28:02.119
 many

00:28:02.119 --> 00:28:02.679
 countries

00:28:02.679 --> 00:28:03.319
 and for

00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:03.819
 so many

00:28:03.819 --> 00:28:04.319
 centuries.

00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:05.960
 Why

00:28:05.960 --> 00:28:06.819
 how

00:28:06.819 --> 00:28:08.259
 they were

00:28:08.259 --> 00:28:08.579
 able

00:28:08.579 --> 00:28:09.419
 to put

00:28:09.419 --> 00:28:10.000
 their lives

00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:10.919
 in so much

00:28:10.919 --> 00:28:11.319
 danger

00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:12.960
 to sacrifice

00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:13.720
 themselves

00:28:13.720 --> 00:28:14.779
 for God's

00:28:14.779 --> 00:28:15.059
 kingdom.

00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:18.059
 I think

00:28:18.059 --> 00:28:18.659
 that

00:28:18.659 --> 00:28:19.619
 there is

00:28:19.619 --> 00:28:20.279
 only one

00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:20.859
 possible

00:28:20.859 --> 00:28:21.500
 explanation

00:28:21.500 --> 00:28:23.139
 the assurance

00:28:23.140 --> 00:28:23.700
 they have

00:28:23.700 --> 00:28:25.100
 that they

00:28:25.100 --> 00:28:25.400
 were

00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:26.160
 God's

00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:26.480
 children

00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:27.259
 that there

00:28:27.259 --> 00:28:28.220
 was no

00:28:28.220 --> 00:28:28.700
 danger

00:28:28.700 --> 00:28:29.480
 in that

00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:29.820
 death.

00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:33.160
 I remember

00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:33.900
 reading as a

00:28:33.900 --> 00:28:34.200
 student

00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:35.120
 when I was

00:28:35.120 --> 00:28:35.480
 in the

00:28:35.480 --> 00:28:35.800
 Christian

00:28:35.800 --> 00:28:36.220
 Union

00:28:36.220 --> 00:28:37.100
 the beginning

00:28:37.100 --> 00:28:37.600
 of the

00:28:37.600 --> 00:28:37.900
 Christian

00:28:37.900 --> 00:28:38.200
 Union

00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:38.500
 at the

00:28:38.500 --> 00:28:38.880
 University

00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:39.420
 of Madrid

00:28:39.420 --> 00:28:41.580
 there was

00:28:41.580 --> 00:28:42.220
 an American

00:28:42.220 --> 00:28:42.960
 book called

00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:43.560
 Sacrifice

00:28:43.560 --> 00:28:45.340
 and this

00:28:45.340 --> 00:28:46.380
 holiness

00:28:46.380 --> 00:28:47.500
 teacher

00:28:47.500 --> 00:28:49.380
 was asking

00:28:49.380 --> 00:28:49.860
 from the

00:28:49.860 --> 00:28:50.680
 very first

00:28:50.680 --> 00:28:51.020
 page

00:28:51.020 --> 00:28:51.759
 what have

00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:52.380
 you sacrificed

00:28:52.380 --> 00:28:52.920
 for the

00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:53.160
 kingdom.

00:28:54.300 --> 00:28:54.600
 Oh

00:28:54.600 --> 00:28:55.120
 then I

00:28:55.120 --> 00:28:55.560
 realized

00:28:55.560 --> 00:28:57.160
 the

00:28:57.160 --> 00:28:57.800
 sacrifices

00:28:57.800 --> 00:28:58.300
 are not

00:28:58.300 --> 00:28:58.760
 so big

00:28:58.760 --> 00:28:59.100
 maybe.

00:28:59.880 --> 00:29:00.460
 So I

00:29:00.460 --> 00:29:01.240
 started to

00:29:01.240 --> 00:29:01.520
 worry

00:29:01.520 --> 00:29:03.140
 how great

00:29:03.140 --> 00:29:03.420
 is the

00:29:03.420 --> 00:29:04.000
 sacrifice

00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:04.480
 I've done

00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:06.220
 and you

00:29:06.220 --> 00:29:06.900
 get sometimes

00:29:06.900 --> 00:29:07.360
 this

00:29:07.360 --> 00:29:08.780
 a bit

00:29:08.780 --> 00:29:09.900
 insane

00:29:09.900 --> 00:29:10.380
 illy

00:29:10.380 --> 00:29:10.860
 spirituality

00:29:10.860 --> 00:29:11.480
 that

00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:12.120
 very sick

00:29:12.120 --> 00:29:12.460
 that

00:29:12.460 --> 00:29:14.340
 what can

00:29:14.340 --> 00:29:15.000
 you sacrifice

00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:16.000
 for the

00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:16.260
 Lord

00:29:16.260 --> 00:29:17.480
 what thing

00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:18.120
 can you do

00:29:18.120 --> 00:29:18.500
 extra

00:29:18.500 --> 00:29:19.560
 more

00:29:19.560 --> 00:29:20.960
 but of

00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:21.220
 course

00:29:21.220 --> 00:29:21.920
 this is not

00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:22.340
 the point

00:29:22.340 --> 00:29:22.840
 of Christian

00:29:22.840 --> 00:29:23.180
 life

00:29:23.180 --> 00:29:24.200
 Christ

00:29:24.200 --> 00:29:24.640
 has done

00:29:24.640 --> 00:29:25.120
 everything

00:29:25.120 --> 00:29:26.100
 there is

00:29:26.100 --> 00:29:26.660
 no greater

00:29:26.660 --> 00:29:27.500
 sacrifice

00:29:27.500 --> 00:29:28.180
 that he

00:29:28.180 --> 00:29:28.640
 has done

00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:29.840
 so the

00:29:29.840 --> 00:29:30.160
 Christian

00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:30.700
 life is

00:29:30.700 --> 00:29:31.160
 not about

00:29:31.160 --> 00:29:31.420
 our

00:29:31.420 --> 00:29:32.120
 sacrifices

00:29:32.120 --> 00:29:32.880
 it's about

00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:33.240
 his

00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:34.060
 sacrifice

00:29:34.060 --> 00:29:35.640
 to acknowledge

00:29:35.640 --> 00:29:35.940
 that

00:29:35.940 --> 00:29:36.600
 to realize

00:29:36.600 --> 00:29:36.960
 that

00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:37.840
 and to

00:29:37.840 --> 00:29:38.600
 live

00:29:38.600 --> 00:29:39.080
 according

00:29:39.080 --> 00:29:39.560
 to that

00:29:39.560 --> 00:29:42.080
 so here

00:29:42.080 --> 00:29:42.460
 the Lord

00:29:42.460 --> 00:29:43.480
 shows us

00:29:43.480 --> 00:29:44.440
 that it's

00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:44.880
 not through

00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:45.880
 our sacrifices

00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:46.660
 we achieve

00:29:46.660 --> 00:29:47.039
 things

00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:48.680
 is the

00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:49.079
 way we

00:29:49.079 --> 00:29:49.519
 see our

00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:49.879
 lives

00:29:49.879 --> 00:29:50.779
 the way

00:29:50.779 --> 00:29:51.279
 we use

00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:51.539
 them

00:29:51.539 --> 00:29:52.680
 the ways

00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:53.359
 we put

00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:54.339
 our faith

00:29:54.339 --> 00:29:55.420
 in practice

00:29:55.420 --> 00:29:57.299
 because as

00:29:57.299 --> 00:29:57.619
 you know

00:29:57.619 --> 00:29:57.960
 there are

00:29:57.960 --> 00:29:58.720
 two mistakes

00:29:58.720 --> 00:29:59.599
 you can do

00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:01.139
 to think

00:30:01.139 --> 00:30:01.799
 that you can

00:30:01.799 --> 00:30:02.220
 be saved

00:30:02.220 --> 00:30:02.619
 by your

00:30:02.619 --> 00:30:03.019
 works

00:30:03.019 --> 00:30:05.159
 moralistic

00:30:05.159 --> 00:30:05.980
 legalistic

00:30:05.980 --> 00:30:06.500
 religion

00:30:06.500 --> 00:30:07.680
 but you

00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:08.039
 have the

00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:08.339
 opposite

00:30:08.339 --> 00:30:08.920
 mistake

00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:10.279
 the fact

00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:11.379
 that so

00:30:11.379 --> 00:30:11.680
 many

00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:12.259
 Christians

00:30:12.259 --> 00:30:13.799
 can think

00:30:13.799 --> 00:30:14.519
 that they

00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:14.879
 don't have

00:30:14.879 --> 00:30:15.159
 to do

00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:15.800
 anything at

00:30:15.800 --> 00:30:16.000
 all

00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:19.160
 but here

00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:20.779
 it's clear

00:30:20.779 --> 00:30:21.380
 to us

00:30:21.380 --> 00:30:22.040
 that what

00:30:22.040 --> 00:30:22.580
 we have

00:30:22.580 --> 00:30:23.040
 to do

00:30:23.040 --> 00:30:23.620
 is not

00:30:23.620 --> 00:30:24.420
 to achieve

00:30:24.420 --> 00:30:25.140
 or to

00:30:25.140 --> 00:30:25.880
 get something

00:30:25.880 --> 00:30:26.380
 to earn

00:30:26.380 --> 00:30:26.920
 salvation

00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:28.140
 what we

00:30:28.140 --> 00:30:28.640
 have to

00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:28.920
 do

00:30:28.920 --> 00:30:29.720
 is

00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:30.900
 the

00:30:30.900 --> 00:30:31.460
 result

00:30:31.460 --> 00:30:32.440
 the

00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:32.980
 consequence

00:30:32.980 --> 00:30:33.580
 of our

00:30:33.580 --> 00:30:34.440
 confidence

00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:35.240
 of being

00:30:35.240 --> 00:30:36.160
 God's

00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:36.620
 servants

00:30:36.620 --> 00:30:39.320
 and

00:30:39.320 --> 00:30:40.200
 it seems

00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:40.740
 unfair

00:30:40.740 --> 00:30:41.680
 the end

00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:41.960
 of the

00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:42.220
 story

00:30:42.220 --> 00:30:43.580
 when you

00:30:43.580 --> 00:30:43.960
 read

00:30:43.960 --> 00:30:44.880
 the words

00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:45.220
 of our

00:30:45.220 --> 00:30:45.500
 Lord

00:30:45.500 --> 00:30:47.300
 that this

00:30:47.300 --> 00:30:47.580
 man

00:30:47.580 --> 00:30:47.860
 who

00:30:47.860 --> 00:30:48.440
 has

00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:48.720
 only

00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:49.100
 one

00:30:49.100 --> 00:30:50.020
 mind

00:30:50.020 --> 00:30:50.700
 will

00:30:50.700 --> 00:30:50.920
 be

00:30:50.920 --> 00:30:51.280
 taken

00:30:51.280 --> 00:30:53.340
 yeah

00:30:53.340 --> 00:30:53.900
 there's a

00:30:53.900 --> 00:30:54.140
 bit

00:30:54.140 --> 00:30:55.240
 harsh

00:30:55.240 --> 00:30:56.540
 it's

00:30:56.540 --> 00:30:56.860
 really

00:30:56.860 --> 00:30:58.020
 too hard

00:30:58.020 --> 00:30:58.440
 to cope

00:30:58.440 --> 00:30:58.720
 with

00:30:58.720 --> 00:31:00.180
 yeah

00:31:00.180 --> 00:31:00.580
 you have

00:31:00.580 --> 00:31:00.880
 pity

00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:02.240
 for the

00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:02.500
 poor

00:31:02.500 --> 00:31:02.740
 man

00:31:02.740 --> 00:31:04.280
 but

00:31:04.280 --> 00:31:05.360
 is

00:31:05.360 --> 00:31:06.080
 this

00:31:06.080 --> 00:31:06.740
 shock

00:31:06.740 --> 00:31:07.620
 at the

00:31:07.620 --> 00:31:08.000
 end

00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:08.300
 of the

00:31:08.300 --> 00:31:08.640
 story

00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:09.820
 that

00:31:09.820 --> 00:31:10.240
 make us

00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:10.640
 awake

00:31:10.640 --> 00:31:11.460
 of the

00:31:11.460 --> 00:31:11.840
 danger

00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:13.740
 is

00:31:13.740 --> 00:31:14.039
 not

00:31:14.039 --> 00:31:14.579
 that

00:31:14.579 --> 00:31:16.159
 when you

00:31:16.159 --> 00:31:16.619
 have so

00:31:16.619 --> 00:31:16.919
 little

00:31:16.919 --> 00:31:17.879
 you are

00:31:17.879 --> 00:31:18.299
 expected

00:31:18.299 --> 00:31:19.059
 so

00:31:19.059 --> 00:31:19.399
 little

00:31:19.399 --> 00:31:21.339
 this is

00:31:21.339 --> 00:31:21.759
 not how

00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:22.199
 it works

00:31:22.199 --> 00:31:22.500
 in the

00:31:22.500 --> 00:31:22.679
 kingdom

00:31:22.679 --> 00:31:23.179
 of God

00:31:23.179 --> 00:31:24.779
 who am

00:31:24.779 --> 00:31:25.039
 I

00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:26.220
 what can

00:31:26.220 --> 00:31:26.579
 I do

00:31:26.579 --> 00:31:28.559
 the only

00:31:28.559 --> 00:31:29.039
 thing I

00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:29.439
 can do

00:31:29.439 --> 00:31:29.759
 is to

00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:30.119
 keep the

00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:30.480
 faith

00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:31.539
 to be

00:31:31.539 --> 00:31:31.899
 faithful

00:31:31.899 --> 00:31:32.259
 at the

00:31:32.259 --> 00:31:32.519
 end

00:31:32.519 --> 00:31:32.919
 and that

00:31:32.919 --> 00:31:33.859
 is the

00:31:33.859 --> 00:31:34.359
 only thing

00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:34.819
 I can

00:31:34.819 --> 00:31:35.399
 expect

00:31:35.399 --> 00:31:35.779
 to do

00:31:35.779 --> 00:31:37.180
 here

00:31:37.180 --> 00:31:38.039
 is

00:31:38.039 --> 00:31:38.740
 in a

00:31:38.740 --> 00:31:38.920
 very

00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:39.420
 striking

00:31:39.420 --> 00:31:39.819
 way

00:31:39.819 --> 00:31:41.299
 seeing

00:31:41.299 --> 00:31:41.539
 the

00:31:41.539 --> 00:31:41.859
 fact

00:31:41.859 --> 00:31:42.720
 that

00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:43.059
 even

00:31:43.059 --> 00:31:43.299
 the

00:31:43.299 --> 00:31:43.960
 ones

00:31:43.960 --> 00:31:44.899
 who

00:31:44.899 --> 00:31:45.299
 have

00:31:45.299 --> 00:31:46.259
 something

00:31:46.259 --> 00:31:47.379
 this

00:31:47.379 --> 00:31:47.619
 could

00:31:47.619 --> 00:31:47.799
 be

00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:48.099
 taken

00:31:48.099 --> 00:31:48.379
 from

00:31:48.379 --> 00:31:48.619
 them

00:31:48.619 --> 00:31:49.480
 of

00:31:49.480 --> 00:31:49.700
 course

00:31:49.700 --> 00:31:49.879
 we

00:31:49.879 --> 00:31:50.160
 think

00:31:50.160 --> 00:31:50.399
 about

00:31:50.399 --> 00:31:50.740
 Israel

00:31:50.740 --> 00:31:52.440
 and the

00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:52.700
 way

00:31:52.700 --> 00:31:53.579
 that

00:31:53.579 --> 00:31:53.759
 the

00:31:53.759 --> 00:31:54.000
 Jews

00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:54.240
 have

00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:54.579
 received

00:31:54.579 --> 00:31:55.000
 such

00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:55.399
 great

00:31:55.399 --> 00:31:55.899
 blessings

00:31:55.899 --> 00:31:56.920
 as

00:31:56.920 --> 00:31:57.299
 God's

00:31:57.299 --> 00:31:57.579
 people

00:31:57.579 --> 00:31:58.940
 it

00:31:58.940 --> 00:31:59.099
 is

00:31:59.099 --> 00:31:59.339
 often

00:31:59.339 --> 00:31:59.639
 said

00:31:59.639 --> 00:31:59.839
 by

00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:00.599
 commentators

00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:01.059
 that

00:32:01.059 --> 00:32:01.920
 of

00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:02.180
 course

00:32:02.180 --> 00:32:02.339
 in

00:32:02.339 --> 00:32:02.539
 that

00:32:02.539 --> 00:32:02.819
 time

00:32:02.819 --> 00:32:02.980
 as

00:32:02.980 --> 00:32:03.099
 in

00:32:03.099 --> 00:32:03.200
 the

00:32:03.200 --> 00:32:03.940
 reformation

00:32:03.940 --> 00:32:05.680
 the

00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:08.039
 usury

00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:08.220
 the

00:32:08.220 --> 00:32:08.500
 lending

00:32:08.500 --> 00:32:08.740
 of

00:32:08.740 --> 00:32:09.059
 money

00:32:09.059 --> 00:32:09.940
 was

00:32:09.940 --> 00:32:10.380
 forbidden

00:32:10.380 --> 00:32:11.420
 so

00:32:11.420 --> 00:32:12.220
 that

00:32:12.220 --> 00:32:13.920
 this

00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:14.580
 business

00:32:14.580 --> 00:32:15.200
 aspect

00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:15.480
 of

00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:15.640
 that

00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:16.100
 story

00:32:16.100 --> 00:32:17.059
 probably

00:32:17.059 --> 00:32:17.620
 was not

00:32:17.620 --> 00:32:18.200
 possible

00:32:18.200 --> 00:32:18.799
 between

00:32:18.799 --> 00:32:19.140
 Jews

00:32:19.140 --> 00:32:19.960
 so

00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:20.240
 some

00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:20.539
 people

00:32:20.539 --> 00:32:20.900
 think

00:32:20.900 --> 00:32:21.200
 that

00:32:21.200 --> 00:32:22.500
 it's

00:32:22.500 --> 00:32:22.920
 here

00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:24.279
 this

00:32:24.279 --> 00:32:24.740
 story

00:32:24.740 --> 00:32:25.220
 understood

00:32:25.220 --> 00:32:25.720
 better

00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:26.420
 when we

00:32:26.420 --> 00:32:26.700
 think

00:32:26.700 --> 00:32:27.220
 in terms

00:32:27.220 --> 00:32:27.440
 of

00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:27.860
 Jews

00:32:27.860 --> 00:32:28.120
 and

00:32:28.120 --> 00:32:28.680
 Gentiles

00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:29.720
 so

00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:30.019
 that

00:32:30.019 --> 00:32:31.140
 here

00:32:31.140 --> 00:32:31.320
 the

00:32:31.320 --> 00:32:31.519
 Lord

00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:31.740
 Jesus

00:32:31.740 --> 00:32:32.000
 is

00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:32.259
 saying

00:32:32.259 --> 00:32:32.920
 you

00:32:32.920 --> 00:32:33.160
 have

00:32:33.160 --> 00:32:33.279
 to

00:32:33.279 --> 00:32:33.480
 do

00:32:33.480 --> 00:32:33.960
 something

00:32:33.960 --> 00:32:34.200
 with

00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:34.380
 your

00:32:34.380 --> 00:32:34.880
 faith

00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:35.319
 as

00:32:35.319 --> 00:32:35.740
 God's

00:32:35.740 --> 00:32:36.019
 people

00:32:36.019 --> 00:32:36.339
 as

00:32:36.339 --> 00:32:36.720
 Jews

00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:38.339
 with

00:32:38.339 --> 00:32:38.460
 the

00:32:38.460 --> 00:32:38.980
 Gentiles

00:32:38.980 --> 00:32:40.059
 with

00:32:40.059 --> 00:32:40.420
 those

00:32:40.420 --> 00:32:40.940
 who

00:32:40.940 --> 00:32:41.860
 needed

00:32:41.860 --> 00:32:42.240
 this

00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:42.559
 light

00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:44.000
 but

00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:46.259
 independently

00:32:46.259 --> 00:32:46.860
 of what

00:32:46.860 --> 00:32:47.299
 it means

00:32:47.299 --> 00:32:48.039
 originally

00:32:48.039 --> 00:32:49.079
 in that

00:32:49.079 --> 00:32:49.559
 context

00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:50.620
 you see

00:32:50.620 --> 00:32:51.120
 here

00:32:51.120 --> 00:32:51.960
 the

00:32:51.960 --> 00:32:52.700
 importance

00:32:52.700 --> 00:32:53.900
 and the

00:32:53.900 --> 00:32:55.099
 responsibility

00:32:55.099 --> 00:32:56.099
 we have

00:32:56.099 --> 00:32:56.839
 so that

00:32:56.839 --> 00:32:57.539
 the

00:32:57.539 --> 00:32:58.099
 privileges

00:32:58.099 --> 00:32:58.819
 we receive

00:32:58.819 --> 00:32:59.519
 doesn't

00:32:59.519 --> 00:32:59.779
 matter

00:32:59.779 --> 00:33:00.140
 we are

00:33:00.140 --> 00:33:00.500
 Jews

00:33:00.500 --> 00:33:00.680
 or

00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:01.120
 Christians

00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:02.059
 the

00:33:02.059 --> 00:33:02.619
 privileges

00:33:02.619 --> 00:33:02.939
 we

00:33:02.939 --> 00:33:03.539
 have

00:33:03.539 --> 00:33:04.339
 it

00:33:04.339 --> 00:33:04.699
 means

00:33:04.699 --> 00:33:05.039
 a

00:33:05.039 --> 00:33:05.799
 responsibility

00:33:05.799 --> 00:33:07.039
 what

00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:07.219
 you

00:33:07.219 --> 00:33:07.439
 do

00:33:07.439 --> 00:33:07.639
 with

00:33:07.639 --> 00:33:07.919
 it

00:33:07.919 --> 00:33:09.399
 and

00:33:09.399 --> 00:33:10.179
 you

00:33:10.179 --> 00:33:10.599
 cannot

00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:11.979
 hope

00:33:11.979 --> 00:33:12.639
 like so

00:33:12.639 --> 00:33:12.899
 many

00:33:12.899 --> 00:33:13.239
 years

00:33:13.239 --> 00:33:13.839
 that

00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:14.659
 while the

00:33:14.659 --> 00:33:15.039
 temple

00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:16.019
 was there

00:33:16.019 --> 00:33:16.639
 in

00:33:16.639 --> 00:33:17.099
 Jerusalem

00:33:17.099 --> 00:33:19.079
 then you

00:33:19.079 --> 00:33:19.719
 don't have

00:33:19.719 --> 00:33:20.379
 anything

00:33:20.379 --> 00:33:20.839
 to be

00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:21.519
 afraid of

00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:22.859
 because

00:33:22.859 --> 00:33:23.139
 God

00:33:23.139 --> 00:33:23.739
 can take

00:33:23.739 --> 00:33:24.039
 away

00:33:24.039 --> 00:33:24.259
 that

00:33:24.259 --> 00:33:24.599
 temple

00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:25.659
 the

00:33:25.659 --> 00:33:25.879
 Lord

00:33:25.879 --> 00:33:26.099
 Jesus

00:33:26.099 --> 00:33:26.459
 Christ

00:33:26.459 --> 00:33:26.639
 said

00:33:26.639 --> 00:33:26.779
 I

00:33:26.779 --> 00:33:27.000
 can't

00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:27.359
 destroy

00:33:27.359 --> 00:33:27.639
 it

00:33:27.639 --> 00:33:28.639
 I

00:33:28.639 --> 00:33:28.859
 can

00:33:28.859 --> 00:33:29.199
 take

00:33:29.199 --> 00:33:29.439
 this

00:33:29.439 --> 00:33:29.819
 life

00:33:29.819 --> 00:33:30.139
 and

00:33:30.139 --> 00:33:30.359
 give

00:33:30.359 --> 00:33:30.500
 the

00:33:30.500 --> 00:33:30.699
 life

00:33:30.699 --> 00:33:30.879
 to

00:33:30.879 --> 00:33:31.059
 other

00:33:31.059 --> 00:33:31.459
 people

00:33:31.459 --> 00:33:32.819
 you

00:33:32.819 --> 00:33:32.980
 don't

00:33:32.980 --> 00:33:33.240
 have

00:33:33.240 --> 00:33:33.359
 to

00:33:33.359 --> 00:33:33.639
 think

00:33:33.639 --> 00:33:33.919
 that

00:33:33.919 --> 00:33:35.859
 because

00:33:35.859 --> 00:33:36.159
 you

00:33:36.159 --> 00:33:36.299
 are

00:33:36.299 --> 00:33:36.619
 children

00:33:36.619 --> 00:33:36.899
 of

00:33:36.899 --> 00:33:37.279
 Abraham

00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:38.279
 you

00:33:38.279 --> 00:33:38.539
 have

00:33:38.539 --> 00:33:39.019
 everything

00:33:39.019 --> 00:33:39.539
 and nothing

00:33:39.539 --> 00:33:39.939
 to be

00:33:39.939 --> 00:33:40.240
 worried

00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:40.659
 about

00:33:40.659 --> 00:33:42.219
 if

00:33:42.219 --> 00:33:42.379
 you

00:33:42.379 --> 00:33:42.559
 don't

00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:42.719
 do

00:33:42.719 --> 00:33:43.219
 anything

00:33:43.219 --> 00:33:44.480
 with

00:33:46.059 --> 00:33:46.480
 it

00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:46.659
 can

00:33:46.659 --> 00:33:46.819
 be

00:33:46.819 --> 00:33:47.099
 taken

00:33:47.099 --> 00:33:47.459
 away

00:33:47.459 --> 00:33:47.699
 from

00:33:47.699 --> 00:33:47.919
 you

00:33:47.919 --> 00:33:49.459

 this

00:33:49.579 --> 00:33:49.719
 is

 all

00:33:53.440 --> 00:33:54.820
 in

00:33:54.820 --> 00:33:55.039
 this

00:33:55.039 --> 00:33:55.500
 country

00:33:55.500 --> 00:33:56.680
 as

00:33:56.680 --> 00:33:57.120
 in

00:33:57.120 --> 00:33:57.320
 my

00:33:57.320 --> 00:33:57.740
 continent

00:33:57.740 --> 00:33:59.120
 the

00:33:59.120 --> 00:33:59.440
 fact

00:33:59.440 --> 00:33:59.660
 that

00:33:59.660 --> 00:33:59.820
 we

00:33:59.820 --> 00:34:00.000
 have

00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:00.180
 been

00:34:00.180 --> 00:34:00.460
 so

00:34:00.460 --> 00:34:00.680
 much

00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:01.039
 blessed

00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:01.660
 in

00:34:01.660 --> 00:34:02.120
 history

00:34:02.120 --> 00:34:03.299
 through

00:34:03.299 --> 00:34:03.880
 centuries

00:34:03.880 --> 00:34:05.180
 it

00:34:05.180 --> 00:34:05.539
 doesn't

00:34:05.539 --> 00:34:05.779
 mean

00:34:05.779 --> 00:34:06.200
 just

 be

00:35:40.659 --> 00:35:40.859
 so

00:35:40.859 --> 00:35:41.299
 afraid

00:35:41.299 --> 00:35:41.659
 even

00:35:57.180 --> 00:35:57.480
 safe

00:35:57.480 --> 00:35:58.360
 about

 here

00:36:04.940 --> 00:36:05.079
 in

 was

00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:09.220
 seeing

00:36:09.220 --> 00:36:09.579
 him

 someone

00:36:11.800 --> 00:36:12.700
 so demanding

00:36:12.700 --> 00:36:14.140
 that you

00:36:14.140 --> 00:36:14.460
 have to

00:36:22.720 --> 00:36:24.340
 it's

00:36:24.340 --> 00:36:24.780
 not to

00:36:28.940 --> 00:36:30.060
 easy

 to

 satisfy

00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:33.019
 the

00:36:33.019 --> 00:36:33.360
 point

00:36:33.360 --> 00:36:33.560
 is

00:36:33.560 --> 00:36:34.019
 exactly

00:36:34.019 --> 00:36:34.900
 that

00:36:34.900 --> 00:36:35.120
 he

00:36:35.120 --> 00:36:35.280
 is

00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:35.800
 satisfied

00:36:35.800 --> 00:36:36.760
 through

00:36:36.760 --> 00:36:37.120
 Jesus

00:36:37.120 --> 00:36:37.700
 Christ

00:36:37.700 --> 00:36:38.660
 there

00:36:38.660 --> 00:36:38.860
 is

00:36:38.860 --> 00:36:39.420
 nothing

00:36:39.420 --> 00:36:39.940
 really

00:36:39.940 --> 00:36:40.400
 he

00:36:40.400 --> 00:36:40.700
 has

00:36:40.700 --> 00:36:41.300

00:36:41.300 --> 00:36:41.760
 us

00:36:41.760 --> 00:36:43.039
 so

00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:43.320
 what

00:36:43.320 --> 00:36:43.560
 he

00:36:43.560 --> 00:36:43.940
 expects

00:36:43.940 --> 00:36:44.180
 from

00:36:44.180 --> 00:36:44.539
 us

00:36:44.539 --> 00:36:45.400
 is

00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:45.560
 the

00:36:45.560 --> 00:36:46.000
 trust

00:36:46.000 --> 00:36:46.980
 is

00:36:46.980 --> 00:36:47.160
 the

 confidence

00:36:47.820 --> 00:36:49.320
 so much

00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:50.019
 that we

00:36:50.019 --> 00:36:50.500
 take

00:36:50.500 --> 00:36:51.320
 on

00:36:51.320 --> 00:36:51.740
 risk

 our

00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:52.900
 lives

00:36:52.900 --> 00:36:55.680
 then

00:36:55.680 --> 00:36:55.860
 we

00:36:55.860 --> 00:36:56.200
 have

00:36:56.200 --> 00:36:56.760
 to

00:36:56.760 --> 00:36:57.019
 ask

00:36:57.019 --> 00:36:57.560
 ourselves

00:36:57.560 --> 00:36:57.960
 once

00:36:57.960 --> 00:36:58.280
 more

00:36:58.280 --> 00:37:00.600
 if

00:37:00.600 --> 00:37:00.840
 we

00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:00.840


00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:01.100
 willing

00:37:01.100 --> 00:37:02.420
 to

00:37:02.420 --> 00:37:03.160
 take

00:37:03.160 --> 00:37:03.420
 this

00:37:03.420 --> 00:37:03.800
 risk

00:37:03.800 --> 00:37:04.940
 to

00:37:04.940 --> 00:37:05.400
 use

00:37:05.400 --> 00:37:07.120
 even

00:37:07.120 --> 00:37:07.840
 our

00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:08.320
 small

00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:09.240
 little

00:37:09.240 --> 00:37:09.620

 our

00:37:10.179 --> 00:37:10.559
 eyes

00:37:10.559 --> 00:37:11.139
 it

00:37:11.139 --> 00:37:11.460
 doesn't

00:37:11.460 --> 00:37:11.759
 matter

00:37:11.759 --> 00:37:12.099
 how

00:37:12.099 --> 00:37:12.519
 small

00:37:12.519 --> 00:37:12.719
 and

00:37:12.719 --> 00:37:13.019
 little

00:37:13.019 --> 00:37:13.539
 are

00:37:13.539 --> 00:37:13.819
 in

00:37:13.819 --> 00:37:14.019
 our

00:37:14.019 --> 00:37:14.380
 eyes

00:37:14.380 --> 00:37:15.480
 but

00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:15.699
 what

00:37:15.699 --> 00:37:15.859
 we

00:37:15.859 --> 00:37:16.000
 are

00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:16.339
 doing

00:37:16.339 --> 00:37:16.859
 with

00:37:16.859 --> 00:37:17.039
 our

00:37:17.039 --> 00:37:17.440
 lives

00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:19.639
 and

00:37:19.639 --> 00:37:19.819
 the

00:37:19.819 --> 00:37:20.179
 truth

00:37:20.179 --> 00:37:20.819
 is

00:37:20.819 --> 00:37:20.980
 that

00:37:20.980 --> 00:37:21.139
 there

00:37:21.139 --> 00:37:21.259
 is

00:37:21.259 --> 00:37:21.420
 not

00:37:21.420 --> 00:37:21.659
 much

00:37:21.659 --> 00:37:22.000
 time

00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:23.259
 it's

00:37:23.259 --> 00:37:23.519
 coming

00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:23.960
 back

00:37:23.960 --> 00:37:25.339
 and

00:37:25.339 --> 00:37:25.559
 then

00:37:25.559 --> 00:37:25.839
 one

00:37:25.839 --> 00:37:26.139
 day

00:37:26.139 --> 00:37:26.799
 it

00:37:26.799 --> 00:37:26.980
 will

00:37:26.980 --> 00:37:27.219
 be

00:37:27.219 --> 00:37:27.400
 too

00:37:27.400 --> 00:37:27.719
 late

00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:30.279
 so

00:37:30.279 --> 00:37:30.719
 our

00:37:30.719 --> 00:37:31.359
 responsibility

00:37:31.359 --> 00:37:32.039
 is

00:37:32.039 --> 00:37:32.399
 what

00:37:32.399 --> 00:37:32.939
 we

00:37:32.939 --> 00:37:33.059
 are

00:37:33.059 --> 00:37:33.319
 going

00:37:33.319 --> 00:37:33.519
 to

00:37:33.519 --> 00:37:33.759
 do

00:37:33.759 --> 00:37:34.799
 today

00:37:34.799 --> 00:37:36.239
 tomorrow

00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:39.879
 the

00:37:39.879 --> 00:37:40.099
 only

00:37:40.099 --> 00:37:40.419
 way

00:37:40.419 --> 00:37:41.179
 we

00:37:41.179 --> 00:37:41.299
 are

00:37:41.299 --> 00:37:41.519
 able

00:37:41.519 --> 00:37:41.699
 to

00:37:41.699 --> 00:37:41.859
 do

00:37:41.859 --> 00:37:42.299
 something

00:37:42.299 --> 00:37:43.459
 is

00:37:43.459 --> 00:37:43.879
 looking

00:37:43.879 --> 00:37:44.139
 at

00:37:44.139 --> 00:37:44.399
 him

00:37:44.399 --> 00:37:44.939
 in

00:37:44.939 --> 00:37:45.079
 a

00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:45.399
 different

00:37:45.399 --> 00:37:45.799
 way

00:37:45.799 --> 00:37:46.459
 than

00:37:46.459 --> 00:37:46.659
 this

00:37:46.659 --> 00:37:46.919
 wicked

00:37:46.919 --> 00:37:47.359
 servant

00:37:47.359 --> 00:37:49.239
 if

00:37:49.239 --> 00:37:49.399
 you

00:37:49.399 --> 00:37:49.980
 think

00:37:49.980 --> 00:37:50.319
 of

00:37:50.319 --> 00:37:50.659
 him

00:37:50.659 --> 00:37:51.019
 in

00:37:51.019 --> 00:37:51.179
 the

00:37:51.179 --> 00:37:51.599
 terms

00:37:51.599 --> 00:37:52.519
 of

00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:52.759
 this

00:37:52.759 --> 00:37:53.079
 man

00:37:53.079 --> 00:37:54.159
 who

00:37:54.159 --> 00:37:54.699
 said

00:37:54.699 --> 00:37:55.819
 that

00:37:55.819 --> 00:37:56.900
 he

00:37:56.900 --> 00:37:57.380
 was

00:37:57.380 --> 00:37:58.099
 such

00:37:58.099 --> 00:37:58.319
 a

00:37:58.319 --> 00:37:58.840
 lord

00:37:58.840 --> 00:37:59.139
 and

00:37:59.139 --> 00:37:59.619
 master

00:37:59.619 --> 00:38:00.739
 that

00:38:00.739 --> 00:38:00.980
 he

00:38:00.980 --> 00:38:01.299
 was

00:38:01.299 --> 00:38:01.940
 so

00:38:01.940 --> 00:38:02.960
 afraid

00:38:02.960 --> 00:38:03.639
 that

00:38:03.639 --> 00:38:03.900
 he

00:38:03.900 --> 00:38:04.139
 will

00:38:04.139 --> 00:38:04.460
 be

00:38:04.460 --> 00:38:05.539
 condemned

00:38:05.539 --> 00:38:07.319
 then

00:38:07.319 --> 00:38:07.860
 we

00:38:07.860 --> 00:38:08.059
 will

00:38:08.059 --> 00:38:08.219
 do

00:38:08.219 --> 00:38:08.579
 nothing

00:38:08.579 --> 00:38:10.840
 but

00:38:10.840 --> 00:38:11.380
 only

00:38:11.380 --> 00:38:12.380
 when

00:38:12.380 --> 00:38:12.579
 we

00:38:12.579 --> 00:38:13.019
 feel

00:38:13.019 --> 00:38:13.340
 the

00:38:13.340 --> 00:38:14.019
 confidence

00:38:14.019 --> 00:38:14.319
 the

00:38:14.319 --> 00:38:14.739

00:38:14.739 --> 00:38:16.199
 that

00:38:16.199 --> 00:38:16.599
 he

00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:17.699
 accepts

00:38:17.699 --> 00:38:18.119
 us

00:38:18.119 --> 00:38:18.759
 that

 not

00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:21.000
 only

00:38:23.319 --> 00:38:24.619
 then

00:38:24.619 --> 00:38:24.859
 we

00:38:24.859 --> 00:38:25.079
 can

00:38:25.079 --> 00:38:25.319
 do
