00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.940
 Thank you, Treg. If you would, please take your Bibles and open them up to the Gospel according to John.

00:00:08.679 --> 00:00:16.120
 And we're going to be in chapter 16 this morning, verses 16 through 33, through the end of the chapter.

00:00:16.620 --> 00:00:21.719
 And I'll remind you, just for the sake of context, that we're continuing our series here in John's Gospel,

00:00:21.859 --> 00:00:27.019
 and we are in the moments leading up to the cross and the upper room discourse,

00:00:27.019 --> 00:00:33.119
 as we're functioning like flies on the wall listening in to some of Jesus' last words to his disciples.

00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:38.480
 So John chapter 16, verses 16 through 33, when you found that in your Bibles,

00:00:38.480 --> 00:00:42.899
 I ask that, would you please stand for the reading of God's Word and follow along with me as I read?

00:00:53.299 --> 00:00:56.140
 Jesus says, a little while and you will see me no longer.

00:00:57.020 --> 00:00:59.440
 And again a little while and you will see me.

00:01:00.140 --> 00:01:04.700
 So some of his disciples said to one another, what is this that he says to us?

00:01:04.880 --> 00:01:07.200
 A little while and you will not see me.

00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:09.420
 And again a little while and you will see me.

00:01:09.960 --> 00:01:11.820
 And because I am going to the Father.

00:01:12.620 --> 00:01:15.200
 So they were saying, what does he mean by a little while?

00:01:15.520 --> 00:01:17.219
 We do not know what he's talking about.

00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:20.060
 Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him.

00:01:20.060 --> 00:01:23.200
 So he said to them, is this what you are asking yourselves?

00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:26.740
 What I meant by saying a little while and you will not see me.

00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:29.140
 And again a little while and you will see me.

00:01:29.939 --> 00:01:35.799
 Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice.

00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:41.300
 You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy.

00:01:42.300 --> 00:01:46.060
 When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come.

00:01:46.060 --> 00:01:52.600
 But when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish for joy that a human being has been born into the world.

00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:57.180
 So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again.

00:01:57.579 --> 00:02:01.620
 And your hearts will rejoice and no one will take your joy from you.

00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:04.540
 In that day you will ask nothing of me.

00:02:05.180 --> 00:02:09.680
 Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:12.840
 Until now you have asked nothing in my name.

00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:17.479
 Ask and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

00:02:18.500 --> 00:02:21.159
 I have said these things to you in figures of speech.

00:02:21.539 --> 00:02:25.039
 The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech,

00:02:25.300 --> 00:02:27.319
 but will tell you plainly about the Father.

00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:33.640
 In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf.

00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:36.740
 For the Father himself loves you,

00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:40.759
 because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.

00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:44.780
 I came from the Father and have come into the world,

00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:48.079
 and now I am leaving the world and going to the Father.

00:02:49.060 --> 00:02:50.079
 His disciples said,

00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:54.859
 Ah, now you are speaking plainly and not using figurative speech.

00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:59.340
 Now we know that you know all things and do not need anyone to question you.

00:02:59.799 --> 00:03:01.840
 This is why we believe that you came from God.

00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:03.939
 Jesus answered them,

00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:05.700
 Do you now believe?

00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:08.140
 Behold, the hour is coming.

00:03:08.640 --> 00:03:09.700
 Indeed it has come,

00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:12.860
 when you will be scattered, each to his own home,

00:03:13.020 --> 00:03:14.420
 and will leave me alone.

00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:18.039
 Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

00:03:18.740 --> 00:03:20.020
 I have said these things to you,

00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:22.039
 that in me you may have peace.

00:03:22.539 --> 00:03:24.580
 In the world you will have tribulation,

00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:25.520
 but take heart,

00:03:26.140 --> 00:03:27.699
 I have overcome the world.

00:03:27.699 --> 00:03:31.959
 This is God's holy, inspired word.

00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:34.280
 Please be seated as we pray.

00:03:34.459 --> 00:03:40.679
 Lord, would you take these words and implant them in our hearts

00:03:40.679 --> 00:03:43.679
 with faith and joy in believing.

00:03:43.939 --> 00:03:44.819
 We pray in Christ's name.

00:03:45.780 --> 00:03:46.099
 Amen.

00:03:47.979 --> 00:03:52.539
 I'll ask you a probably strange question as we begin.

00:03:52.539 --> 00:03:57.620
 Do you treat the gospel more like tap water

00:03:57.620 --> 00:04:01.280
 or like a stream of water in the desert?

00:04:02.359 --> 00:04:04.639
 Do you treat the gospel more like tap water

00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:07.139
 or like a stream in the desert?

00:04:07.239 --> 00:04:09.859
 I had this image in my mind this week.

00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:11.419
 I spoke with some missionary friends

00:04:11.419 --> 00:04:14.759
 who are serving in the deserts of North Africa.

00:04:15.239 --> 00:04:18.339
 Very hot, hostile, humid territory.

00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:21.420
 They are bringing the gospel to unreached people groups

00:04:21.420 --> 00:04:23.620
 there in the deserts of North Africa,

00:04:23.819 --> 00:04:26.040
 scattered throughout that harsh terrain.

00:04:26.460 --> 00:04:28.960
 I just want you to get in your mind this morning

00:04:28.960 --> 00:04:30.000
 the image of a desert.

00:04:30.980 --> 00:04:32.699
 It is hot.

00:04:32.860 --> 00:04:35.020
 Temperature is hotter than we could possibly imagine.

00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:35.920
 It's dry.

00:04:36.520 --> 00:04:37.639
 It's dusty.

00:04:37.840 --> 00:04:38.879
 It's difficult terrain.

00:04:39.460 --> 00:04:42.520
 But imagine that right there in the middle

00:04:42.520 --> 00:04:44.759
 of that hot, dry desert

00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:48.460
 is a flowing stream of water.

00:04:48.459 --> 00:04:52.859
 And of course we know that that water is so precious.

00:04:53.159 --> 00:04:53.899
 It's so important.

00:04:54.039 --> 00:04:55.199
 It's life-giving for the area.

00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:57.399
 But I just want to think for a moment

00:04:57.399 --> 00:04:58.620
 about all of the benefits

00:04:58.620 --> 00:05:01.859
 that that flowing stream of water might provide.

00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:03.359
 Of course it provides hydration.

00:05:04.359 --> 00:05:05.819
 And I would imagine that men and women

00:05:05.819 --> 00:05:07.560
 would travel for miles

00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:09.959
 throughout all that harsh, dry desert

00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:12.699
 in order to come and drink from this flowing stream.

00:05:13.419 --> 00:05:15.219
 It would provide nourishment.

00:05:15.220 --> 00:05:17.560
 It provides strength for the crops

00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:19.040
 that would grow up around the area

00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:20.800
 which would in turn provide food

00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:22.520
 for the people nearby.

00:05:23.400 --> 00:05:24.860
 It gives life to the animals

00:05:24.860 --> 00:05:26.440
 that live in the desert.

00:05:26.820 --> 00:05:28.420
 They drink from the water

00:05:28.420 --> 00:05:30.840
 and then they in turn provide strength for labor

00:05:30.840 --> 00:05:31.980
 for those who live nearby.

00:05:32.140 --> 00:05:33.840
 They would provide meat to eat.

00:05:34.380 --> 00:05:36.780
 The stream is a place to wash and to clean.

00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:40.120
 If you lived in this harsh, dry desert

00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:44.560
 you would be well acquainted with the benefit,

00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:46.000
 all the many benefits

00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:48.759
 that this flowing stream of water might provide.

00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:51.040
 You would spend time here often drinking

00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:54.120
 and washing and benefiting from this stream of water.

00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:58.620
 Now, compare that to water from the tap.

00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.420
 Of course we know that water is important,

00:06:02.939 --> 00:06:03.980
 but let's be honest,

00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:05.759
 when is the last time you got excited

00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:07.500
 about water from the tap?

00:06:07.500 --> 00:06:11.180
 We drink it because we know that it's good for us,

00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:13.079
 but we hardly think about it.

00:06:13.100 --> 00:06:14.600
 We turn on the tap, the water comes out,

00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:15.259
 we know we need it,

00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:18.899
 but most of the time it is an afterthought.

00:06:19.060 --> 00:06:19.839
 Church, sadly,

00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:21.920
 far too often,

00:06:22.980 --> 00:06:26.300
 this is how we tend to think about the gospel.

00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:29.019
 We know that it's good,

00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:29.759
 right?

00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:33.219
 We know that it's life-giving for us,

00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:35.099
 we know that we need it,

00:06:35.180 --> 00:06:37.899
 but we are so slow

00:06:37.899 --> 00:06:40.539
 to fully grasp the depth

00:06:40.539 --> 00:06:42.980
 of what Christ has done for us

00:06:42.980 --> 00:06:44.000
 in his life,

00:06:44.379 --> 00:06:45.000
 his death,

00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:46.319
 his resurrection.

00:06:46.539 --> 00:06:48.060
 What I want us to see this morning

00:06:48.060 --> 00:06:50.579
 is that the gospel of Jesus Christ

00:06:50.579 --> 00:06:53.319
 is a life-giving stream

00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:55.539
 of spiritual benefits

00:06:55.539 --> 00:06:57.219
 to all who come and drink.

00:06:58.140 --> 00:06:58.900
 So this morning,

00:06:59.260 --> 00:07:00.040
 what I want us to do

00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:01.200
 with God's help

00:07:01.200 --> 00:07:02.500
 from John chapter 16

00:07:02.500 --> 00:07:03.860
 is I want us to see

00:07:03.860 --> 00:07:06.840
 just three life-giving benefits

00:07:06.840 --> 00:07:08.420
 of what Jesus has done.

00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:10.500
 Just three this morning.

00:07:10.620 --> 00:07:12.160
 Three life-giving benefits

00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:14.300
 of the gospel of Jesus Christ

00:07:14.300 --> 00:07:15.960
 so that you and I

00:07:15.960 --> 00:07:19.120
 might more fully enjoy this gospel,

00:07:19.860 --> 00:07:20.700
 the gift of life

00:07:20.700 --> 00:07:22.180
 that God has given us in Christ.

00:07:22.180 --> 00:07:25.040
 Three life-giving benefits

00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:26.740
 benefits of what Jesus has done.

00:07:26.860 --> 00:07:27.840
 Benefit number one,

00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:30.060
 permanent joy.

00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:33.220
 Permanent joy.

00:07:33.960 --> 00:07:34.680
 Look there with me

00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:35.220
 to our passage

00:07:35.220 --> 00:07:36.879
 starting in verse 16.

00:07:38.080 --> 00:07:39.960
 Jesus is trying to explain

00:07:39.960 --> 00:07:40.700
 to his disciples

00:07:40.700 --> 00:07:41.960
 what is about to happen.

00:07:42.080 --> 00:07:42.740
 You remember again,

00:07:42.820 --> 00:07:44.160
 this conversation is happening

00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:46.439
 on the eve of his crucifixion.

00:07:46.820 --> 00:07:47.840
 And so he tells them,

00:07:48.280 --> 00:07:49.160
 in a little while,

00:07:49.280 --> 00:07:50.780
 you will see me no longer.

00:07:51.320 --> 00:07:51.820
 And again,

00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:52.680
 in a little while,

00:07:52.820 --> 00:07:54.100
 you will see me.

00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:55.140
 And I don't think

00:07:55.140 --> 00:07:56.140
 it's too hard for us

00:07:56.140 --> 00:07:56.720
 to understand

00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:57.540
 that he's talking about

00:07:57.540 --> 00:07:58.480
 his death

00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:00.120
 and then his resurrection.

00:08:00.780 --> 00:08:02.060
 In just a matter of hours,

00:08:02.180 --> 00:08:03.120
 he will be betrayed,

00:08:03.460 --> 00:08:05.400
 he will be hung on a cross,

00:08:05.460 --> 00:08:06.980
 and he will die.

00:08:07.580 --> 00:08:09.200
 And the disciples in the room

00:08:09.200 --> 00:08:11.700
 who see him right now

00:08:11.700 --> 00:08:14.060
 will no longer see him.

00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:15.080
 They won't see him anymore.

00:08:15.780 --> 00:08:17.260
 But he assures them,

00:08:17.300 --> 00:08:18.620
 again in a little while,

00:08:18.700 --> 00:08:20.000
 after I have died,

00:08:20.080 --> 00:08:22.120
 after I have been laid in a tomb,

00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.759
 you will see me.

00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:26.759
 He's speaking about

00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:29.439
 his miraculous resurrection.

00:08:29.740 --> 00:08:30.920
 Well, again, as usual,

00:08:31.420 --> 00:08:33.200
 the disciples don't understand

00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:34.220
 what he's talking about.

00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.019
 What is this that he says to us?

00:08:37.379 --> 00:08:37.960
 A little while,

00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:39.440
 and you will not see me.

00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:40.419
 And again, a little while,

00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:41.299
 and you will see me.

00:08:41.379 --> 00:08:42.840
 And because I'm going to the Father,

00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:44.240
 what does he mean by a little while?

00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:45.480
 I love this in verse 18,

00:08:45.539 --> 00:08:46.399
 at least they're being honest.

00:08:46.500 --> 00:08:46.759
 They say,

00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:48.299
 we don't know

00:08:48.299 --> 00:08:49.379
 what he's talking about.

00:08:51.379 --> 00:08:52.559
 And Jesus, of course,

00:08:52.779 --> 00:08:54.019
 knew that they were having

00:08:54.019 --> 00:08:55.220
 some issues with this,

00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:56.000
 and he knew what they wanted

00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:56.620
 to ask him,

00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:58.059
 and so he explained it to them

00:08:58.059 --> 00:08:59.379
 like this.

00:08:59.439 --> 00:09:00.840
 Look there to verse 20.

00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:02.539
 He said,

00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:03.480
 Truly, truly,

00:09:03.580 --> 00:09:04.379
 I say to you,

00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:06.179
 you will weep and lament,

00:09:06.860 --> 00:09:09.039
 but the world will rejoice.

00:09:09.899 --> 00:09:11.039
 You will be sorrowful,

00:09:11.740 --> 00:09:12.740
 but your sorrow

00:09:12.740 --> 00:09:16.039
 will turn into joy.

00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:19.079
 This is a promise

00:09:19.079 --> 00:09:21.659
 of a stunning reversal.

00:09:21.939 --> 00:09:22.539
 For a moment,

00:09:22.659 --> 00:09:24.099
 it will feel like all is lost.

00:09:24.199 --> 00:09:24.679
 For a moment,

00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:26.000
 it will feel like the world

00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:27.120
 has won,

00:09:27.439 --> 00:09:28.799
 but your sorrow

00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:31.599
 will turn into joy.

00:09:31.719 --> 00:09:32.679
 How can this be?

00:09:33.599 --> 00:09:35.019
 I know it's hard for us.

00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:37.000
 We know how the story ends.

00:09:37.439 --> 00:09:38.319
 So it's hard for us

00:09:38.319 --> 00:09:39.319
 to place ourselves

00:09:39.319 --> 00:09:40.799
 in the events of the cross

00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:42.779
 without thinking of the events

00:09:42.779 --> 00:09:43.719
 of the resurrection,

00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:45.579
 but I want us to try

00:09:45.580 --> 00:09:46.700
 just for a moment.

00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:48.540
 Try to place yourself

00:09:48.540 --> 00:09:50.300
 in the events of Good Friday

00:09:50.300 --> 00:09:52.180
 and the death of Jesus

00:09:52.180 --> 00:09:53.940
 without knowing

00:09:53.940 --> 00:09:55.120
 how this all pans out

00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:55.620
 in the end.

00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:57.300
 Your friend

00:09:57.300 --> 00:09:58.639
 and your teacher

00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:00.160
 is on a cross,

00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:01.040
 the man who has

00:10:01.040 --> 00:10:03.520
 revealed God to you

00:10:03.520 --> 00:10:05.240
 in more powerful

00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:06.280
 and tangible ways

00:10:06.280 --> 00:10:07.080
 than anything

00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:08.280
 you've ever experienced.

00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:09.779
 this man who has

00:10:09.779 --> 00:10:11.559
 made incredible promises

00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:12.159
 to you,

00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:12.879
 come to me

00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:13.699
 and be saved,

00:10:13.779 --> 00:10:14.299
 come to me

00:10:14.299 --> 00:10:15.799
 and drink freely

00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:16.740
 of my life.

00:10:16.819 --> 00:10:17.519
 I am the way,

00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:18.100
 the truth,

00:10:18.199 --> 00:10:18.600
 the life.

00:10:18.699 --> 00:10:19.759
 No one comes to the Father

00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:21.399
 except through me.

00:10:22.439 --> 00:10:23.240
 And then he's laid

00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:24.199
 to rest in a tomb

00:10:24.199 --> 00:10:25.139
 and you would wonder,

00:10:25.980 --> 00:10:26.079
 well,

00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:27.079
 has all of this

00:10:27.079 --> 00:10:28.319
 been for nothing?

00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:31.299
 Can we trust

00:10:31.299 --> 00:10:32.659
 his promises?

00:10:32.659 --> 00:10:34.980
 Has all of our hope

00:10:34.980 --> 00:10:36.199
 been a waste?

00:10:36.319 --> 00:10:38.719
 Is this all just in vain?

00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:40.120
 And then he dies,

00:10:40.219 --> 00:10:41.039
 he's laid in a tomb

00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:42.620
 and for three days,

00:10:42.779 --> 00:10:43.959
 those who are still

00:10:43.959 --> 00:10:44.679
 in their sin,

00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:45.399
 the world,

00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:46.519
 the unbelieving world

00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:47.799
 will rejoice

00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:48.519
 at the death

00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:49.360
 of the Son of God.

00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:51.759
 And for three days,

00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:53.819
 you will grieve

00:10:53.819 --> 00:10:55.719
 and you will mourn,

00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:56.600
 your heart will be

00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:58.039
 consumed with sorrow.

00:10:58.199 --> 00:10:59.100
 For three days,

00:10:59.179 --> 00:10:59.899
 you will question

00:10:59.899 --> 00:11:01.100
 whether all of this

00:11:01.100 --> 00:11:03.179
 has been in vain.

00:11:04.299 --> 00:11:05.559
 This sorrow

00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:06.879
 is very,

00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:08.299
 very real

00:11:08.299 --> 00:11:09.259
 for his disciples.

00:11:09.439 --> 00:11:10.899
 They are defeated.

00:11:12.319 --> 00:11:13.039
 You get a sense

00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:14.419
 of that defeat

00:11:14.419 --> 00:11:15.620
 on the road to Emmaus.

00:11:15.699 --> 00:11:16.279
 You know the story

00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:17.659
 from Luke chapter 24.

00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:19.159
 You have to love

00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:20.220
 Jesus' sense of humor

00:11:20.220 --> 00:11:21.639
 in this story.

00:11:21.860 --> 00:11:22.759
 Two of his disciples

00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:23.960
 are walking

00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:25.360
 on the road to Emmaus.

00:11:25.419 --> 00:11:26.299
 This is after Jesus

00:11:26.299 --> 00:11:27.720
 has been crucified

00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:29.879
 and Jesus risen

00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:31.139
 from the grave.

00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:31.679
 He comes

00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:32.720
 and he walks

00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:33.419
 with them

00:11:33.419 --> 00:11:33.939
 but it says

00:11:33.939 --> 00:11:34.659
 that their eyes

00:11:34.659 --> 00:11:35.100
 were kept

00:11:35.100 --> 00:11:36.740
 from recognizing him

00:11:36.740 --> 00:11:37.879
 and he asks them,

00:11:37.980 --> 00:11:38.379
 what are you guys

00:11:38.379 --> 00:11:38.840
 talking about?

00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:40.720
 And they said,

00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:42.019
 and when he asked them

00:11:42.019 --> 00:11:42.360
 this,

00:11:42.500 --> 00:11:43.600
 they stood still

00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:45.500
 and they looked sad

00:11:45.500 --> 00:11:46.080
 and they said,

00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:47.000
 are you the only one

00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:47.419
 around here

00:11:47.419 --> 00:11:48.000
 who hasn't heard

00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:48.500
 what's happened?

00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:50.360
 This man,

00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:52.000
 Jesus of Nazareth,

00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:53.179
 a man who was

00:11:53.179 --> 00:11:54.080
 a prophet mighty

00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:55.019
 indeed and word

00:11:55.019 --> 00:11:55.679
 before God

00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:56.500
 and all the people

00:11:56.500 --> 00:11:57.820
 and how our chief

00:11:57.820 --> 00:11:58.659
 priests and rulers

00:11:58.659 --> 00:11:59.440
 delivered him up

00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:00.120
 to be condemned

00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:00.720
 to death

00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:02.360
 and crucified him

00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:04.160
 but we had hoped

00:12:04.160 --> 00:12:05.460
 that he would be

00:12:05.460 --> 00:12:06.460
 the one to redeem

00:12:06.460 --> 00:12:07.280
 Israel.

00:12:07.420 --> 00:12:07.840
 You hear that?

00:12:09.180 --> 00:12:10.740
 We had hoped.

00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:11.780
 Do you hear the hopelessness

00:12:11.780 --> 00:12:12.400
 in their voice?

00:12:13.540 --> 00:12:15.480
 They were sorrowful.

00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:16.900
 They were defeated.

00:12:18.660 --> 00:12:19.700
 What do you think

00:12:19.700 --> 00:12:21.060
 their reaction was

00:12:21.060 --> 00:12:22.500
 when their eyes

00:12:22.500 --> 00:12:23.600
 were opened

00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:24.640
 to recognize

00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:26.039
 that this was

00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:26.600
 in fact

00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:28.379
 the risen Jesus

00:12:28.379 --> 00:12:29.699
 speaking with them?

00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:31.600
 That Jesus was now

00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:33.039
 back from the dead.

00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:33.860
 Jesus himself

00:12:33.860 --> 00:12:34.899
 showing himself

00:12:34.899 --> 00:12:35.860
 to them,

00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:36.419
 telling them

00:12:36.419 --> 00:12:37.679
 that all of this

00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:38.199
 that's happened

00:12:38.199 --> 00:12:39.399
 was according to plan.

00:12:39.539 --> 00:12:40.039
 All of this

00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:41.519
 was God's design.

00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:43.199
 Satan has not won.

00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:45.179
 The world has not won.

00:12:45.299 --> 00:12:46.279
 I have overcome

00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:47.279
 the world.

00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:48.139
 I have defeated

00:12:48.139 --> 00:12:49.039
 the grave.

00:12:49.179 --> 00:12:50.299
 All of my promises

00:12:50.299 --> 00:12:51.059
 are true

00:12:51.059 --> 00:12:51.720
 and trustworthy

00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:52.920
 and you can believe

00:12:52.920 --> 00:12:54.120
 my word

00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:55.000
 because I've risen

00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:55.720
 from the grave.

00:12:55.800 --> 00:12:56.399
 What do you think

00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:57.779
 they would feel

00:12:57.779 --> 00:12:58.759
 in that moment?

00:13:00.139 --> 00:13:01.060
 Their sorrow

00:13:01.060 --> 00:13:02.360
 would be swallowed

00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:05.120
 up by joy

00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:06.700
 at the resurrection

00:13:06.700 --> 00:13:07.620
 of Christ.

00:13:08.980 --> 00:13:10.540
 Jesus is promising

00:13:10.540 --> 00:13:11.560
 his disciples here

00:13:11.560 --> 00:13:11.960
 yes,

00:13:12.060 --> 00:13:13.420
 you will have sorrow.

00:13:13.620 --> 00:13:13.820
 Yes,

00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:15.660
 this will be hard

00:13:15.660 --> 00:13:18.060
 but when you see me again

00:13:18.060 --> 00:13:19.279
 you will have

00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:20.920
 unshakable

00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:22.059
 joy.

00:13:24.339 --> 00:13:25.279
 He compares it

00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:26.719
 to a woman

00:13:26.719 --> 00:13:28.819
 who's giving birth

00:13:28.819 --> 00:13:29.639
 to a child

00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:30.779
 and those who have

00:13:30.779 --> 00:13:31.759
 given birth

00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:32.959
 know what this is like.

00:13:33.019 --> 00:13:34.059
 When that hour comes

00:13:34.059 --> 00:13:35.539
 it's not easy,

00:13:35.659 --> 00:13:36.219
 it's painful,

00:13:36.439 --> 00:13:37.279
 it's scary,

00:13:37.839 --> 00:13:39.559
 it's a terrifying moment,

00:13:39.620 --> 00:13:40.500
 it's an anxious moment

00:13:40.500 --> 00:13:41.360
 and I just had to watch.

00:13:41.439 --> 00:13:41.919
 I wasn't the one

00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:42.519
 actually doing it

00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:43.319
 but for me

00:13:43.319 --> 00:13:44.319
 it was scary as well

00:13:44.319 --> 00:13:45.000
 and I can't imagine

00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:45.779
 what it was like for her

00:13:45.779 --> 00:13:47.579
 but all of that

00:13:47.579 --> 00:13:49.339
 pain and sorrow

00:13:49.340 --> 00:13:50.780
 is eclipsed

00:13:50.780 --> 00:13:52.100
 by joy

00:13:52.100 --> 00:13:53.080
 the moment

00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:53.620
 that you hold

00:13:53.620 --> 00:13:54.000
 that baby

00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:54.620
 in your arms.

00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:57.100
 It is not

00:13:57.100 --> 00:13:58.019
 that the pain

00:13:58.019 --> 00:13:59.200
 didn't happen.

00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:00.500
 It's that that

00:14:00.500 --> 00:14:01.720
 moment of pain

00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:02.960
 has now transformed

00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:04.019
 into a moment

00:14:04.019 --> 00:14:05.220
 of joy.

00:14:06.899 --> 00:14:07.899
 But for those

00:14:07.899 --> 00:14:08.220
 who know

00:14:08.220 --> 00:14:08.960
 the resurrected

00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:09.759
 Jesus

00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:10.700
 it's much more

00:14:10.700 --> 00:14:11.280
 than just

00:14:11.280 --> 00:14:12.160
 a moment,

00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:12.800
 isn't it?

00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:14.200
 Look at what he says.

00:14:14.259 --> 00:14:14.519
 He says,

00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:15.279
 you also

00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:16.259
 will have sorrow

00:14:16.259 --> 00:14:16.699
 now

00:14:16.699 --> 00:14:17.179
 but I will

00:14:17.179 --> 00:14:18.100
 see you again

00:14:18.100 --> 00:14:19.419
 and your hearts

00:14:19.419 --> 00:14:20.120
 will rejoice

00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:22.059
 and no one

00:14:22.059 --> 00:14:22.740
 will take

00:14:22.740 --> 00:14:23.559
 your joy

00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:24.319
 from you.

00:14:25.179 --> 00:14:25.819
 Did you hear that?

00:14:26.740 --> 00:14:27.720
 No one

00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:28.579
 will take

00:14:28.579 --> 00:14:29.539
 your joy

00:14:29.539 --> 00:14:30.620
 from you.

00:14:31.620 --> 00:14:32.519
 The resurrection

00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:33.299
 of Jesus

00:14:33.299 --> 00:14:34.679
 is an

00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:35.879
 ever-flowing

00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:36.600
 stream

00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:37.759
 of endless

00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:38.779
 permanent

00:14:38.779 --> 00:14:39.759
 glorious

00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:40.220
 joy

00:14:40.220 --> 00:14:40.679
 for all

00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:41.279
 who know him.

00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:42.819
 And unlike

00:14:42.819 --> 00:14:43.819
 anything else

00:14:43.820 --> 00:14:44.240
 that you might

00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:44.860
 enjoy

00:14:44.860 --> 00:14:45.440
 in this

00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:45.820
 life

00:14:45.820 --> 00:14:46.140
 in this

00:14:46.140 --> 00:14:46.500
 world

00:14:46.500 --> 00:14:47.460
 no one

00:14:47.460 --> 00:14:48.160
 can take

00:14:48.160 --> 00:14:49.140
 that joy

00:14:49.140 --> 00:14:49.720
 away

00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:50.540
 from those

00:14:50.540 --> 00:14:51.180
 who believe.

00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:52.280
 Not

00:14:52.280 --> 00:14:53.200
 sickness,

00:14:53.560 --> 00:14:54.580
 not sorrow,

00:14:54.780 --> 00:14:55.420
 not death,

00:14:55.580 --> 00:14:56.620
 not loss,

00:14:56.740 --> 00:14:57.460
 not pain,

00:14:57.580 --> 00:14:58.200
 not grief.

00:14:58.300 --> 00:14:58.580
 Why?

00:14:59.400 --> 00:14:59.760
 Because

00:14:59.760 --> 00:15:00.660
 Jesus

00:15:00.660 --> 00:15:01.460
 lives

00:15:01.460 --> 00:15:01.700
 and will

00:15:01.700 --> 00:15:02.160
 never die

00:15:02.160 --> 00:15:02.520
 again

00:15:02.520 --> 00:15:03.960
 and because

00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:04.960
 you by

00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:05.460
 faith

00:15:05.460 --> 00:15:06.379
 live in

00:15:06.379 --> 00:15:06.840
 him

00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:07.540
 forever.

00:15:07.680 --> 00:15:07.960
 What did we

00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:08.440
 just read

00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:08.840
 from Psalm

00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:09.700
 1611?

00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:10.400
 This promise

00:15:10.400 --> 00:15:11.380
 that in

00:15:11.380 --> 00:15:12.260
 your presence

00:15:12.260 --> 00:15:12.540
 in the

00:15:12.540 --> 00:15:13.060
 presence of

00:15:13.060 --> 00:15:13.300
 God

00:15:13.300 --> 00:15:13.660
 there is

00:15:13.659 --> 00:15:14.219
 fullness

00:15:14.219 --> 00:15:14.899
 of what?

00:15:14.980 --> 00:15:15.159
 What did

00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:15.459
 it say?

00:15:16.379 --> 00:15:16.899
 Fullness

00:15:16.899 --> 00:15:17.459
 of joy.

00:15:18.100 --> 00:15:18.360
 At your

00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:18.899
 right hand

00:15:18.899 --> 00:15:19.559
 are pleasures

00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:20.139
 for a little

00:15:20.139 --> 00:15:20.480
 while,

00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:21.879
 pleasures

00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:22.980
 forever

00:15:22.980 --> 00:15:24.199
 more.

00:15:24.319 --> 00:15:24.639
 This is

00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:25.399
 what Christ

00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:26.299
 has invited

00:15:26.299 --> 00:15:27.519
 you into

00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:28.459
 by what

00:15:28.459 --> 00:15:28.839
 he has

00:15:28.839 --> 00:15:29.219
 done

00:15:29.219 --> 00:15:30.019
 in the

00:15:30.019 --> 00:15:30.459
 gospel.

00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:32.100
 One of

00:15:32.100 --> 00:15:32.480
 my boys

00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:33.939
 brought home

00:15:33.939 --> 00:15:34.740
 prayer requests

00:15:34.740 --> 00:15:35.379
 this week

00:15:35.379 --> 00:15:35.860
 from friends.

00:15:35.959 --> 00:15:36.399
 I love

00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:36.659
 this,

00:15:36.719 --> 00:15:36.839
 y'all.

00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:38.360
 We sat

00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:38.620
 down to

00:15:38.620 --> 00:15:38.939
 pray at

00:15:38.939 --> 00:15:39.220
 the dinner

00:15:39.220 --> 00:15:39.480
 table

00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:40.399
 before we

00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:41.100
 ate and

00:15:41.100 --> 00:15:41.699
 he had a

00:15:41.699 --> 00:15:42.179
 bag where

00:15:42.179 --> 00:15:42.659
 each of his

00:15:42.659 --> 00:15:43.120
 friends had

00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:43.580
 filled out a

00:15:43.580 --> 00:15:43.980
 little slip

00:15:43.980 --> 00:15:44.399
 of paper

00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:44.980
 with something

00:15:44.980 --> 00:15:45.560
 to pray

00:15:45.560 --> 00:15:46.000
 for and

00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:46.379
 his plan

00:15:46.379 --> 00:15:46.700
 was just

00:15:46.700 --> 00:15:47.299
 to draw

00:15:47.299 --> 00:15:48.139
 one out

00:15:48.139 --> 00:15:49.100
 and pray

00:15:49.100 --> 00:15:49.539
 for whichever

00:15:49.539 --> 00:15:50.460
 one he drew

00:15:50.460 --> 00:15:51.600
 is so sweet.

00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:53.019
 And his

00:15:53.019 --> 00:15:53.460
 friend,

00:15:53.539 --> 00:15:54.039
 the request

00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:54.879
 that he had

00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:55.480
 was I guess

00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:56.159
 his grandfather

00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:57.240
 had recently

00:15:57.240 --> 00:15:58.000
 passed away

00:15:58.000 --> 00:15:59.039
 and so he

00:15:59.039 --> 00:15:59.899
 wanted prayer

00:15:59.899 --> 00:16:01.200
 that he would

00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:02.060
 not be lonely

00:16:02.060 --> 00:16:02.600
 in heaven.

00:16:03.560 --> 00:16:04.159
 Isn't that

00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:04.419
 sweet?

00:16:05.580 --> 00:16:06.080
 That he would

00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:06.639
 fit in

00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:07.500
 up there,

00:16:07.560 --> 00:16:07.759
 that he

00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:08.039
 wouldn't be

00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:08.399
 anxious,

00:16:08.580 --> 00:16:08.759
 that he

00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:09.120
 would have

00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:10.200
 friends.

00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:11.480
 I got

00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:12.360
 to explain

00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:13.320
 to them

00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:14.659
 that heaven

00:16:14.659 --> 00:16:15.120
 is not

00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:15.460
 like it

00:16:15.460 --> 00:16:16.019
 is down

00:16:16.019 --> 00:16:16.399
 here.

00:16:16.500 --> 00:16:16.980
 Here we

00:16:16.980 --> 00:16:17.820
 have sorrow,

00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:18.919
 here we

00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:20.019
 have grief,

00:16:20.139 --> 00:16:20.399
 here we

00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:20.779
 have that

00:16:20.779 --> 00:16:21.879
 social anxiety,

00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:22.399
 we want to

00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:22.820
 fit in,

00:16:22.860 --> 00:16:23.080
 we don't

00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:23.259
 want to

00:16:23.259 --> 00:16:23.820
 be lonely.

00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:25.620
 In the

00:16:25.620 --> 00:16:26.340
 presence of

00:16:26.340 --> 00:16:27.080
 the resurrected

00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:27.779
 Jesus,

00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:29.220
 there is no

00:16:29.220 --> 00:16:29.560
 sorrow,

00:16:30.220 --> 00:16:31.500
 there is no

00:16:31.500 --> 00:16:32.000
 loneliness,

00:16:32.740 --> 00:16:33.480
 there is no

00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:34.019
 grief,

00:16:34.139 --> 00:16:34.560
 there is no

00:16:34.560 --> 00:16:35.019
 loss,

00:16:35.139 --> 00:16:35.560
 there is no

00:16:35.560 --> 00:16:36.120
 pain,

00:16:36.299 --> 00:16:36.620
 there is

00:16:36.620 --> 00:16:37.519
 fullness

00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:38.960
 of joy

00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:39.639
 that can

00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:40.519
 never be

00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:41.299
 taken from

00:16:41.299 --> 00:16:41.960
 you who

00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:42.439
 believe.

00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:43.159
 Amen?

00:16:49.379 --> 00:16:50.340
 We have

00:16:50.340 --> 00:16:51.360
 entered in

00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:52.559
 to a

00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:53.179
 never ending

00:16:53.179 --> 00:16:53.819
 moment of

00:16:53.819 --> 00:16:54.259
 joy by

00:16:54.259 --> 00:16:54.659
 faith in

00:16:54.659 --> 00:16:55.159
 the resurrected

00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:55.679
 Christ.

00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:57.779
 That's the

00:16:57.779 --> 00:16:58.319
 status of

00:16:58.319 --> 00:16:58.539
 you,

00:16:58.720 --> 00:16:59.039
 Christian,

00:16:59.340 --> 00:16:59.759
 you who

00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:00.079
 believe.

00:17:00.179 --> 00:17:00.460
 We have

00:17:00.460 --> 00:17:01.039
 been

00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:01.659
 transformed

00:17:01.659 --> 00:17:02.500
 from a

00:17:02.500 --> 00:17:03.179
 moment of

00:17:03.179 --> 00:17:04.240
 sorrow with

00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:05.039
 no hope,

00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:05.559
 a moment of

00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:06.460
 hopelessness,

00:17:06.579 --> 00:17:07.099
 to a

00:17:07.099 --> 00:17:07.500
 moment of

00:17:07.500 --> 00:17:08.539
 joy.

00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:08.960
 Yes,

00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:09.359
 with its

00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:10.160
 challenges in

00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:10.619
 this world,

00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:11.000
 yes,

00:17:11.059 --> 00:17:11.400
 with its

00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:12.019
 sorrows in

00:17:12.019 --> 00:17:12.480
 this world,

00:17:12.579 --> 00:17:13.819
 but joy in

00:17:13.819 --> 00:17:14.579
 a resurrected

00:17:14.579 --> 00:17:15.359
 Savior that

00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:16.220
 can never be

00:17:16.220 --> 00:17:17.019
 taken away.

00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:17.440
 We have

00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:18.359
 entered in

00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:19.000
 to a

00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:19.480
 never ending

00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:20.359
 moment of

00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:21.079
 joy and

00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:22.019
 no one and

00:17:22.019 --> 00:17:22.640
 nothing can

00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:23.180
 take it away

00:17:23.180 --> 00:17:23.720
 from you.

00:17:24.599 --> 00:17:25.619
 Because Jesus

00:17:25.619 --> 00:17:26.539
 lives, we can

00:17:26.539 --> 00:17:27.559
 drink from that

00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:28.079
 stream of

00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:29.039
 resurrection joy,

00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:30.019
 not just in

00:17:30.019 --> 00:17:30.819
 eternity when we

00:17:30.819 --> 00:17:31.319
 get there,

00:17:31.819 --> 00:17:32.519
 but right

00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:33.480
 now.

00:17:33.579 --> 00:17:33.880
 Isn't that

00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:34.240
 glorious?

00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:36.099
 And we don't

00:17:36.099 --> 00:17:36.839
 have to wait

00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:37.779
 until heaven

00:17:37.779 --> 00:17:38.459
 to enjoy

00:17:38.459 --> 00:17:39.179
 what Christ

00:17:39.179 --> 00:17:39.839
 has done.

00:17:41.379 --> 00:17:42.099
 Our mission

00:17:42.099 --> 00:17:42.539
 and vision,

00:17:42.679 --> 00:17:43.139
 again, we

00:17:43.139 --> 00:17:44.000
 aim to

00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:44.659
 magnify the

00:17:44.659 --> 00:17:45.099
 glory of

00:17:45.099 --> 00:17:45.480
 God and

00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:45.980
 the gospel

00:17:45.980 --> 00:17:46.480
 of Jesus

00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:47.019
 Christ,

00:17:47.199 --> 00:17:48.099
 number one,

00:17:48.179 --> 00:17:48.639
 way number

00:17:48.639 --> 00:17:49.339
 one that we

00:17:49.339 --> 00:17:49.859
 aim to do

00:17:49.859 --> 00:17:50.099
 that.

00:17:50.159 --> 00:17:50.639
 What is it?

00:17:51.220 --> 00:17:52.500
 By enjoying

00:17:52.500 --> 00:17:53.740
 Him,

00:17:53.939 --> 00:17:54.839
 by enjoying

00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:55.819
 God.

00:17:56.019 --> 00:17:56.879
 Christians of

00:17:56.879 --> 00:17:58.119
 all people in

00:17:58.119 --> 00:17:58.720
 the world ought

00:17:58.720 --> 00:17:59.279
 to be marked

00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:00.379
 by unusual

00:18:00.379 --> 00:18:01.459
 joy.

00:18:02.659 --> 00:18:03.179
 Does that

00:18:03.179 --> 00:18:03.879
 describe you?

00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:06.320
 when people

00:18:06.320 --> 00:18:07.100
 talk about

00:18:07.100 --> 00:18:08.200
 members of

00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:08.740
 Seaweed Bay

00:18:08.740 --> 00:18:09.840
 Baptist Church,

00:18:10.520 --> 00:18:11.000
 one of the

00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:11.540
 things I want

00:18:11.540 --> 00:18:12.400
 them to see

00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:13.160
 and to say

00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:13.860
 about us is,

00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:14.220
 man, that's

00:18:14.220 --> 00:18:14.580
 the people

00:18:14.580 --> 00:18:15.640
 that enjoy

00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:16.240
 God.

00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:17.620
 That's a

00:18:17.620 --> 00:18:18.480
 joyful people.

00:18:19.260 --> 00:18:19.960
 They rejoice

00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:20.640
 in what Christ

00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:21.160
 has done

00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:22.220
 in the gospel.

00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:23.800
 And if that

00:18:23.800 --> 00:18:25.340
 doesn't describe

00:18:25.340 --> 00:18:25.900
 you, well,

00:18:26.280 --> 00:18:27.140
 Jesus tells us

00:18:27.140 --> 00:18:27.680
 one of the

00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:28.240
 ways that we

00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:29.220
 can tap into

00:18:29.220 --> 00:18:29.940
 that stream

00:18:29.940 --> 00:18:30.900
 of joy right

00:18:30.900 --> 00:18:32.560
 now is

00:18:32.560 --> 00:18:33.800
 through prayer.

00:18:34.460 --> 00:18:35.120
 Look there

00:18:35.120 --> 00:18:35.440
 with me to

00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:36.120
 verse 23,

00:18:36.300 --> 00:18:36.960
 through prayer.

00:18:38.360 --> 00:18:38.840
 Jesus says,

00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:39.360
 in that day

00:18:39.360 --> 00:18:39.900
 you will ask

00:18:39.900 --> 00:18:40.840
 nothing of

00:18:40.840 --> 00:18:41.060
 me.

00:18:41.180 --> 00:18:41.880
 Truly, truly,

00:18:41.980 --> 00:18:42.480
 I say to

00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:43.620
 you, whatever

00:18:43.620 --> 00:18:44.740
 you ask of

00:18:44.740 --> 00:18:45.480
 the Father in

00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:46.160
 my name,

00:18:46.280 --> 00:18:46.980
 He will give

00:18:46.980 --> 00:18:47.780
 it to you.

00:18:48.300 --> 00:18:48.960
 Until now,

00:18:49.060 --> 00:18:49.620
 you have asked

00:18:49.620 --> 00:18:50.460
 nothing in

00:18:50.460 --> 00:18:50.980
 my name.

00:18:51.180 --> 00:18:52.220
 Ask and

00:18:52.220 --> 00:18:53.680
 receive that

00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:55.240
 your joy may

00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:56.640
 be full.

00:18:56.780 --> 00:18:56.920
 You know,

00:18:56.960 --> 00:18:57.380
 we've been

00:18:57.380 --> 00:18:58.260
 talking this

00:18:58.260 --> 00:18:58.860
 year a lot

00:18:58.860 --> 00:18:59.400
 about prayer,

00:18:59.440 --> 00:18:59.720
 and it seems

00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:00.100
 like the Lord

00:19:00.100 --> 00:19:01.140
 isn't done

00:19:01.140 --> 00:19:02.080
 teaching us to

00:19:02.080 --> 00:19:02.740
 pray, is He?

00:19:03.180 --> 00:19:03.880
 We saw a few

00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:05.099
 weeks ago a

00:19:05.099 --> 00:19:05.779
 similar promise

00:19:05.779 --> 00:19:06.660
 from Psalm 37

00:19:06.660 --> 00:19:07.519
 verse 4.

00:19:07.700 --> 00:19:07.880
 It said,

00:19:08.120 --> 00:19:08.819
 delight yourself

00:19:08.819 --> 00:19:09.480
 in the Lord,

00:19:09.859 --> 00:19:10.500
 and He will

00:19:10.500 --> 00:19:11.299
 give you the

00:19:11.299 --> 00:19:12.359
 desires of

00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:13.240
 your heart.

00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:14.240
 Well, here,

00:19:14.380 --> 00:19:14.980
 Jesus says,

00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:16.319
 ask in my name

00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:17.220
 for my glory,

00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:18.160
 for my purposes,

00:19:18.700 --> 00:19:19.240
 and not for your

00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:20.079
 selfish agenda,

00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:21.039
 but for my

00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:21.960
 name's sake.

00:19:22.180 --> 00:19:23.339
 Ask in my name

00:19:23.339 --> 00:19:24.380
 and receive.

00:19:24.700 --> 00:19:25.099
 We can say

00:19:25.099 --> 00:19:25.960
 receive the

00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:26.740
 desires of your

00:19:26.740 --> 00:19:27.019
 heart.

00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:27.740
 And what's the

00:19:27.740 --> 00:19:28.599
 result of this

00:19:28.599 --> 00:19:30.039
 God honoring,

00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:30.620
 asking,

00:19:30.619 --> 00:19:31.519
 and receiving

00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:32.239
 in the hearts

00:19:32.239 --> 00:19:32.719
 of those who

00:19:32.719 --> 00:19:33.119
 believe?

00:19:34.379 --> 00:19:34.859
 Joy.

00:19:36.019 --> 00:19:37.019
 Ask and receive

00:19:37.019 --> 00:19:37.739
 that your joy

00:19:37.739 --> 00:19:39.179
 may be full.

00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:39.439
 You know,

00:19:39.479 --> 00:19:39.859
 one of the

00:19:39.859 --> 00:19:40.579
 purposes of

00:19:40.579 --> 00:19:41.719
 prayer for

00:19:41.719 --> 00:19:42.279
 believers,

00:19:42.979 --> 00:19:43.419
 one of the

00:19:43.419 --> 00:19:44.539
 aims that God

00:19:44.539 --> 00:19:45.119
 wants to work

00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:46.099
 in your heart

00:19:46.099 --> 00:19:46.619
 as you come

00:19:46.619 --> 00:19:47.239
 to Him and

00:19:47.239 --> 00:19:48.099
 ask and then

00:19:48.099 --> 00:19:49.500
 receive is

00:19:49.500 --> 00:19:50.500
 joy.

00:19:52.179 --> 00:19:52.739
 Here's the

00:19:52.739 --> 00:19:53.019
 point,

00:19:53.179 --> 00:19:53.419
 church.

00:19:55.059 --> 00:19:56.319
 God is far

00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:57.099
 more ready to

00:19:57.099 --> 00:19:57.939
 give us joy

00:19:57.940 --> 00:19:59.299
 than we are

00:19:59.299 --> 00:19:59.799
 to ask.

00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:02.519
 Christ has

00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:03.240
 purchased

00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:04.740
 permanent joy

00:20:04.740 --> 00:20:05.580
 for His

00:20:05.580 --> 00:20:06.460
 people in

00:20:06.460 --> 00:20:07.200
 the gospel.

00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:08.640
 There's a

00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:09.480
 river of

00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:10.320
 endless joy

00:20:10.320 --> 00:20:11.059
 available for

00:20:11.059 --> 00:20:11.460
 all who

00:20:11.460 --> 00:20:11.840
 believe,

00:20:11.940 --> 00:20:12.299
 but you and

00:20:12.299 --> 00:20:13.019
 I tend to

00:20:13.019 --> 00:20:13.740
 be satisfied

00:20:13.740 --> 00:20:14.480
 with drips

00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:15.259
 from the

00:20:15.259 --> 00:20:15.620
 tap.

00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:16.019
 Church,

00:20:16.580 --> 00:20:16.900
 are you

00:20:16.900 --> 00:20:18.019
 asking God

00:20:18.019 --> 00:20:18.680
 to move?

00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:20.940
 Are you

00:20:20.940 --> 00:20:21.700
 asking God

00:20:21.700 --> 00:20:23.200
 to save,

00:20:23.320 --> 00:20:23.759
 to redeem

00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:24.299
 those around

00:20:24.299 --> 00:20:24.660
 you who are

00:20:24.660 --> 00:20:25.100
 lost?

00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:26.320
 Are you

00:20:26.320 --> 00:20:27.019
 asking God

00:20:27.019 --> 00:20:28.039
 to replace

00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:29.099
 your sorrow

00:20:29.099 --> 00:20:30.359
 with His

00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:31.220
 joy?

00:20:31.299 --> 00:20:31.559
 Are you

00:20:31.559 --> 00:20:32.339
 asking?

00:20:33.879 --> 00:20:34.460
 The gospel

00:20:34.460 --> 00:20:35.500
 is the

00:20:35.500 --> 00:20:36.259
 source of

00:20:36.259 --> 00:20:36.660
 permanent

00:20:36.660 --> 00:20:37.099
 joy.

00:20:37.220 --> 00:20:37.579
 Not only

00:20:37.579 --> 00:20:37.859
 this,

00:20:37.940 --> 00:20:38.139
 benefit

00:20:38.139 --> 00:20:38.379
 number

00:20:38.379 --> 00:20:38.700
 two,

00:20:39.220 --> 00:20:40.099
 benefit

00:20:40.099 --> 00:20:40.420
 number

00:20:40.420 --> 00:20:40.819
 two of

00:20:40.819 --> 00:20:41.259
 what Christ

00:20:41.259 --> 00:20:41.720
 has done

00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:41.940
 in the

00:20:41.940 --> 00:20:42.359
 gospel,

00:20:43.119 --> 00:20:44.099
 paternal

00:20:44.099 --> 00:20:44.839
 love.

00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:46.660
 Permanent

00:20:46.660 --> 00:20:47.099
 joy,

00:20:48.019 --> 00:20:48.519
 and second,

00:20:49.019 --> 00:20:49.299
 benefit

00:20:49.299 --> 00:20:50.000
 number two,

00:20:50.879 --> 00:20:51.680
 paternal

00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:52.779
 love.

00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:54.099
 Look there

00:20:54.099 --> 00:20:54.440
 with me to

00:20:54.440 --> 00:20:55.359
 verse 25.

00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:55.700
 Jesus,

00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:56.660
 He says,

00:20:56.660 --> 00:20:57.060
 I've said

00:20:57.060 --> 00:20:57.519
 these things

00:20:57.519 --> 00:20:57.940
 to you

00:20:57.940 --> 00:20:58.540
 in figures

00:20:58.540 --> 00:20:59.580
 of speech.

00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:00.180
 The hour

00:21:00.180 --> 00:21:00.900
 is coming

00:21:00.900 --> 00:21:01.600
 when I

00:21:01.600 --> 00:21:01.860
 will no

00:21:01.860 --> 00:21:02.160
 longer

00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:02.600
 speak to

00:21:02.600 --> 00:21:02.740
 you

00:21:02.740 --> 00:21:03.200
 in figures

00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:03.860
 of speech,

00:21:03.860 --> 00:21:04.200
 but I

00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:04.660
 will tell

00:21:04.660 --> 00:21:04.940
 you

00:21:04.940 --> 00:21:06.040
 plainly

00:21:06.040 --> 00:21:06.700
 about

00:21:06.700 --> 00:21:06.980
 the

00:21:06.980 --> 00:21:07.580
 Father.

00:21:07.740 --> 00:21:08.019
 We saw

00:21:08.019 --> 00:21:09.040
 this last

00:21:09.040 --> 00:21:09.460
 week.

00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:09.700
 If you

00:21:09.700 --> 00:21:09.980
 remember,

00:21:10.120 --> 00:21:10.620
 again,

00:21:10.740 --> 00:21:11.340
 up to

00:21:11.340 --> 00:21:12.320
 this point,

00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:13.100
 Jesus

00:21:13.100 --> 00:21:13.779
 has been

00:21:13.779 --> 00:21:14.400
 sort of

00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:15.080
 veiled.

00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:16.200
 His purposes

00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:16.740
 have been

00:21:16.740 --> 00:21:17.300
 veiled.

00:21:17.460 --> 00:21:18.340
 His full

00:21:18.340 --> 00:21:18.940
 work and

00:21:18.940 --> 00:21:19.560
 full identity

00:21:19.560 --> 00:21:20.040
 has not

00:21:20.040 --> 00:21:20.920
 been entirely

00:21:20.920 --> 00:21:21.920
 clear to

00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:22.620
 His disciples,

00:21:23.019 --> 00:21:23.920
 but after

00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:25.100
 His resurrection,

00:21:25.099 --> 00:21:26.039
 what did

00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:26.439
 He promise?

00:21:27.139 --> 00:21:27.480
 He's

00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:28.059
 promised His

00:21:28.059 --> 00:21:28.899
 Spirit,

00:21:29.099 --> 00:21:29.699
 the Helper,

00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:30.359
 will come

00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:30.919
 and will

00:21:30.919 --> 00:21:31.779
 guide them

00:21:31.779 --> 00:21:32.899
 into all

00:21:32.899 --> 00:21:33.759
 the truth,

00:21:33.879 --> 00:21:34.659
 specifically,

00:21:35.139 --> 00:21:35.819
 the truth

00:21:35.819 --> 00:21:36.319
 about who

00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:37.139
 Christ is

00:21:37.139 --> 00:21:37.419
 and what

00:21:37.419 --> 00:21:37.839
 He's done

00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:38.559
 in the

00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:39.039
 gospel.

00:21:39.939 --> 00:21:40.240
 So for

00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:40.879
 these disciples,

00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:42.059
 the cross

00:21:42.059 --> 00:21:42.579
 will be

00:21:42.579 --> 00:21:43.539
 clarified for

00:21:43.539 --> 00:21:43.819
 them.

00:21:44.299 --> 00:21:45.219
 The resurrection

00:21:45.219 --> 00:21:46.079
 will be

00:21:46.079 --> 00:21:46.959
 clarified for

00:21:46.959 --> 00:21:47.219
 them.

00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:47.679
 The Old

00:21:47.679 --> 00:21:48.119
 Testament

00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:48.799
 promises

00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:49.259
 that are

00:21:49.259 --> 00:21:50.099
 fulfilled in

00:21:50.099 --> 00:21:50.679
 Christ will

00:21:50.679 --> 00:21:51.619
 be clarified

00:21:51.619 --> 00:21:52.559
 for them.

00:21:52.639 --> 00:21:52.980
 All their

00:21:52.980 --> 00:21:53.759
 questions about

00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:54.700
 why Jesus

00:21:54.700 --> 00:21:55.140
 had to

00:21:55.140 --> 00:21:55.480
 die,

00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:56.160
 why like

00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:56.519
 this,

00:21:56.619 --> 00:21:56.980
 why in

00:21:56.980 --> 00:21:57.460
 this way,

00:21:57.759 --> 00:21:58.879
 the gospel

00:21:58.879 --> 00:22:00.140
 message will

00:22:00.140 --> 00:22:01.099
 be clarified

00:22:01.099 --> 00:22:02.460
 for them.

00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:04.099
 Church,

00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:04.660
 one of the

00:22:04.660 --> 00:22:05.859
 greatest blessings

00:22:05.859 --> 00:22:06.579
 of the gospel

00:22:06.579 --> 00:22:07.640
 is that if

00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:08.440
 we want to

00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:09.400
 know about

00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:10.220
 God,

00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:11.279
 if we want

00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:12.019
 to learn

00:22:12.019 --> 00:22:12.579
 about who

00:22:12.579 --> 00:22:13.279
 He is,

00:22:13.339 --> 00:22:13.660
 how He

00:22:13.660 --> 00:22:14.319
 thinks about

00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:14.839
 His heart,

00:22:14.940 --> 00:22:15.519
 His character,

00:22:16.019 --> 00:22:17.119
 this is where

00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:18.480
 we look.

00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:20.039
 We look

00:22:20.039 --> 00:22:21.019
 to the

00:22:21.019 --> 00:22:21.460
 gospel.

00:22:22.740 --> 00:22:23.099
 If you

00:22:23.099 --> 00:22:23.319
 want to

00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:24.159
 judge for

00:22:24.159 --> 00:22:24.559
 yourself,

00:22:24.659 --> 00:22:25.220
 how well

00:22:25.220 --> 00:22:25.599
 do I

00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:26.259
 understand

00:22:26.259 --> 00:22:26.720
 God?

00:22:27.399 --> 00:22:27.839
 How well

00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:28.079
 do I

00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:28.439
 understand

00:22:28.439 --> 00:22:29.039
 His ways?

00:22:29.139 --> 00:22:29.379
 How well

00:22:29.379 --> 00:22:29.639
 do I

00:22:29.639 --> 00:22:30.099
 understand

00:22:30.099 --> 00:22:30.939
 His heart?

00:22:31.179 --> 00:22:31.500
 Ask

00:22:31.500 --> 00:22:31.859
 yourself,

00:22:31.980 --> 00:22:32.500
 how well

00:22:32.500 --> 00:22:32.819
 you

00:22:32.819 --> 00:22:33.460
 understand

00:22:33.460 --> 00:22:34.000
 the gospel?

00:22:35.139 --> 00:22:35.859
 The gospel

00:22:35.859 --> 00:22:37.099
 is God's

00:22:37.099 --> 00:22:37.659
 plan to

00:22:37.659 --> 00:22:38.599
 save sinners

00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:39.599
 through Jesus

00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:40.159
 Christ.

00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:41.000
 The Puritans,

00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:42.480
 I love to

00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:42.740
 read the

00:22:42.740 --> 00:22:43.279
 Puritans.

00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:44.159
 Most of the

00:22:44.159 --> 00:22:44.539
 people I

00:22:44.539 --> 00:22:44.960
 read are

00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:45.559
 old,

00:22:45.819 --> 00:22:46.519
 dead people

00:22:46.519 --> 00:22:46.939
 that are

00:22:46.939 --> 00:22:47.639
 much wiser

00:22:47.639 --> 00:22:48.039
 than me.

00:22:48.779 --> 00:22:49.179
 Sinclair

00:22:49.179 --> 00:22:49.679
 Ferguson,

00:22:49.899 --> 00:22:50.679
 he really

00:22:50.679 --> 00:22:51.139
 said it best,

00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:51.619
 he said that

00:22:51.619 --> 00:22:52.279
 the Puritans,

00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:53.139
 they often

00:22:53.139 --> 00:22:53.779
 treat the

00:22:53.779 --> 00:22:54.480
 gospel like

00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:54.940
 a diamond.

00:22:56.299 --> 00:22:56.579
 It's a

00:22:56.579 --> 00:22:57.839
 precious gospel

00:22:57.839 --> 00:22:58.480
 message.

00:22:58.660 --> 00:22:59.700
 They take it

00:22:59.700 --> 00:22:59.940
 and they

00:22:59.940 --> 00:23:00.619
 slowly,

00:23:00.899 --> 00:23:01.680
 very slowly,

00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:03.059
 sometimes painfully

00:23:03.059 --> 00:23:03.559
 slowly,

00:23:03.779 --> 00:23:04.720
 they turn it

00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:05.339
 and they look

00:23:05.339 --> 00:23:06.240
 at this gospel

00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:06.859
 message from

00:23:06.859 --> 00:23:07.839
 every angle

00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:08.660
 to see every

00:23:08.660 --> 00:23:09.819
 facet,

00:23:09.879 --> 00:23:10.700
 every reflection

00:23:10.700 --> 00:23:11.480
 of the glory

00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:12.119
 of God

00:23:12.119 --> 00:23:12.819
 in the gospel

00:23:12.819 --> 00:23:13.720
 of Jesus Christ.

00:23:13.839 --> 00:23:14.279
 They want to

00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:15.099
 examine every

00:23:15.099 --> 00:23:16.079
 little reflection,

00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:16.859
 every little

00:23:16.859 --> 00:23:17.680
 detail so they

00:23:17.680 --> 00:23:18.220
 can know

00:23:18.220 --> 00:23:19.099
 the heart

00:23:19.099 --> 00:23:20.219
 of God.

00:23:21.019 --> 00:23:21.879
 We ought

00:23:21.879 --> 00:23:22.319
 to do

00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:22.959
 this as

00:23:22.959 --> 00:23:23.359
 well.

00:23:24.419 --> 00:23:24.819
 As we

00:23:24.819 --> 00:23:25.159
 think on

00:23:25.159 --> 00:23:25.699
 what Jesus

00:23:25.699 --> 00:23:26.240
 has done,

00:23:26.299 --> 00:23:26.679
 we can see

00:23:26.679 --> 00:23:27.899
 with stunning

00:23:27.899 --> 00:23:28.699
 clarity the

00:23:28.699 --> 00:23:29.579
 character of

00:23:29.579 --> 00:23:30.639
 God on

00:23:30.639 --> 00:23:31.059
 display.

00:23:31.259 --> 00:23:31.599
 Think about

00:23:31.599 --> 00:23:31.879
 it with

00:23:31.879 --> 00:23:32.039
 me.

00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:34.219
 Do you

00:23:34.219 --> 00:23:35.019
 want to

00:23:35.019 --> 00:23:35.659
 see the

00:23:35.659 --> 00:23:36.359
 justice of

00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:36.719
 God?

00:23:37.959 --> 00:23:38.500
 Where else

00:23:38.500 --> 00:23:38.799
 can we

00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:39.199
 look but

00:23:39.199 --> 00:23:39.459
 on the

00:23:39.459 --> 00:23:39.879
 cross?

00:23:40.959 --> 00:23:41.619
 Where sin,

00:23:41.719 --> 00:23:42.359
 our sin,

00:23:42.439 --> 00:23:43.119
 not Christ's

00:23:43.119 --> 00:23:43.279
 sin,

00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:44.219
 our sin

00:23:44.219 --> 00:23:45.159
 was punished

00:23:45.159 --> 00:23:45.659
 on the

00:23:45.659 --> 00:23:45.959
 cross.

00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:46.939
 God judged

00:23:46.939 --> 00:23:47.879
 sin at the

00:23:47.879 --> 00:23:48.419
 cross of

00:23:48.420 --> 00:23:48.860
 Christ.

00:23:49.860 --> 00:23:50.140
 Do you

00:23:50.140 --> 00:23:50.340
 want to

00:23:50.340 --> 00:23:50.640
 see the

00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:51.440
 mercy of

00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:51.920
 God on

00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:52.259
 display?

00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:53.279
 Look to

00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:53.940
 the cross.

00:23:54.800 --> 00:23:55.300
 Where sinners

00:23:55.300 --> 00:23:55.779
 like you and

00:23:55.779 --> 00:23:57.100
 me are spared

00:23:57.100 --> 00:23:57.700
 the punishment

00:23:57.700 --> 00:23:58.500
 we deserve,

00:23:58.620 --> 00:23:59.680
 we are spared

00:23:59.680 --> 00:24:00.080
 from the

00:24:00.080 --> 00:24:00.560
 judgment of

00:24:00.560 --> 00:24:00.779
 God.

00:24:00.840 --> 00:24:00.980
 Do you

00:24:00.980 --> 00:24:01.120
 want to

00:24:01.120 --> 00:24:01.380
 see the

00:24:01.380 --> 00:24:02.100
 grace of

00:24:02.100 --> 00:24:02.580
 God on

00:24:02.580 --> 00:24:02.940
 display?

00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:03.940
 Look to

00:24:03.940 --> 00:24:04.660
 the cross.

00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:05.900
 Where Christ

00:24:05.900 --> 00:24:07.080
 himself died

00:24:07.080 --> 00:24:07.580
 in your

00:24:07.580 --> 00:24:08.420
 place to

00:24:08.420 --> 00:24:08.920
 take what

00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:09.759
 you've earned

00:24:09.759 --> 00:24:10.200
 so that you

00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:10.640
 can have

00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:11.300
 what he

00:24:11.300 --> 00:24:11.860
 earned.

00:24:12.320 --> 00:24:12.759
 Not by

00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:13.259
 our merit,

00:24:13.380 --> 00:24:13.960
 but by the

00:24:13.960 --> 00:24:14.759
 grace of

00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:15.060
 God.

00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:15.240
 See,

00:24:15.340 --> 00:24:15.500
 we can

00:24:15.500 --> 00:24:16.800
 turn that

00:24:16.800 --> 00:24:17.700
 diamond of

00:24:17.700 --> 00:24:18.279
 the gospel

00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:19.220
 every which

00:24:19.220 --> 00:24:19.759
 way we

00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:20.160
 want and

00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:20.399
 we can

00:24:20.399 --> 00:24:21.299
 see the

00:24:21.299 --> 00:24:21.859
 heart of

00:24:21.859 --> 00:24:22.259
 God.

00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:23.680
 But here

00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:23.940
 in our

00:24:23.940 --> 00:24:24.299
 passage,

00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:25.180
 Jesus draws

00:24:25.180 --> 00:24:25.660
 our attention

00:24:25.660 --> 00:24:26.899
 to one

00:24:26.899 --> 00:24:28.220
 particular

00:24:28.220 --> 00:24:29.619
 gloriously

00:24:29.619 --> 00:24:30.920
 bright shining

00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:31.660
 side of this

00:24:31.660 --> 00:24:31.960
 diamond.

00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:32.259
 Do you

00:24:32.259 --> 00:24:32.539
 see it?

00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:34.440
 It's the

00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:35.619
 love of

00:24:35.619 --> 00:24:36.599
 God on

00:24:36.599 --> 00:24:37.039
 display.

00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:39.180
 The love

00:24:39.180 --> 00:24:40.299
 of God

00:24:40.299 --> 00:24:41.859
 is seen

00:24:41.859 --> 00:24:43.579
 and extended

00:24:43.579 --> 00:24:44.619
 to sinners

00:24:44.619 --> 00:24:45.379
 in the

00:24:45.379 --> 00:24:46.139
 cross of

00:24:46.139 --> 00:24:46.439
 Jesus

00:24:46.439 --> 00:24:47.000
 Christ.

00:24:48.219 --> 00:24:49.019
 If you

00:24:49.019 --> 00:24:49.619
 want to

00:24:49.619 --> 00:24:50.199
 know the

00:24:50.199 --> 00:24:51.159
 love of

00:24:51.159 --> 00:24:51.579
 God,

00:24:51.679 --> 00:24:52.019
 where do

00:24:52.019 --> 00:24:52.479
 you look?

00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:53.719
 You look

00:24:53.719 --> 00:24:54.119
 to what

00:24:54.119 --> 00:24:54.839
 Christ has

00:24:54.839 --> 00:24:55.219
 done.

00:24:56.299 --> 00:24:56.599
 If you

00:24:56.599 --> 00:24:57.379
 ever wonder

00:24:57.379 --> 00:24:58.539
 whether God

00:24:58.539 --> 00:24:59.479
 is able

00:24:59.479 --> 00:25:00.000
 or willing

00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:00.619
 to love

00:25:00.619 --> 00:25:01.139
 a sinner

00:25:01.139 --> 00:25:01.799
 like you,

00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:02.779
 you look

00:25:02.779 --> 00:25:03.379
 to the

00:25:03.379 --> 00:25:03.859
 cross.

00:25:04.419 --> 00:25:04.979
 You look

00:25:04.979 --> 00:25:05.399
 to what

00:25:05.399 --> 00:25:06.059
 Jesus has

00:25:06.059 --> 00:25:06.379
 done.

00:25:06.459 --> 00:25:06.679
 We know

00:25:06.679 --> 00:25:07.159
 this verse,

00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:07.599
 John 3,

00:25:07.659 --> 00:25:08.099
 16,

00:25:08.259 --> 00:25:08.619
 for God

00:25:08.619 --> 00:25:17.759
 so loved

00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:18.559
 the world,

00:25:19.379 --> 00:25:20.279
 loved the

00:25:20.279 --> 00:25:20.679
 world that

00:25:20.679 --> 00:25:21.059
 he gave

00:25:21.059 --> 00:25:21.500
 his only

00:25:21.500 --> 00:25:21.799
 son,

00:25:21.879 --> 00:25:22.240
 that whoever

00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:23.119
 believes in

00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:23.559
 him should

00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:24.219
 not perish

00:25:24.219 --> 00:25:24.919
 but have

00:25:24.919 --> 00:25:25.519
 everlasting

00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:26.279
 life.

00:25:26.379 --> 00:25:26.539
 That's

00:25:26.539 --> 00:25:27.099
 gospel

00:25:27.099 --> 00:25:28.159
 love.

00:25:29.159 --> 00:25:29.639
 God

00:25:29.639 --> 00:25:30.219
 demonstrates

00:25:30.219 --> 00:25:30.699
 his own

00:25:30.699 --> 00:25:31.159
 love for

00:25:31.159 --> 00:25:31.480
 us and

00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:31.779
 that while

00:25:31.779 --> 00:25:32.199
 we were

00:25:32.199 --> 00:25:32.939
 still sinners,

00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:33.859
 Christ died

00:25:33.859 --> 00:25:34.439
 for us,

00:25:34.500 --> 00:25:35.099
 Romans 5,

00:25:35.219 --> 00:25:35.599
 8.

00:25:36.459 --> 00:25:36.959
 See what

00:25:36.959 --> 00:25:37.359
 kind of

00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:38.019
 love

00:25:38.019 --> 00:25:38.379
 has been

00:25:38.379 --> 00:25:38.740
 given to

00:25:38.740 --> 00:25:38.940
 us,

00:25:38.980 --> 00:25:39.539
 that we

00:25:39.539 --> 00:25:39.980
 should be

00:25:39.980 --> 00:25:40.220
 called

00:25:40.220 --> 00:25:40.920
 children of

00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:41.359
 God and

00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:41.759
 so we

00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:42.019
 are,

00:25:42.139 --> 00:25:42.599
 1 John

00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:42.980
 3,

00:25:43.379 --> 00:25:43.819
 1.

00:25:44.500 --> 00:25:45.019
 Paul tells

00:25:45.019 --> 00:25:45.759
 us nothing

00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:46.220
 will be able

00:25:46.220 --> 00:25:46.700
 to separate

00:25:46.700 --> 00:25:47.220
 us who

00:25:47.220 --> 00:25:47.680
 believe,

00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:48.379
 nothing will

00:25:48.379 --> 00:25:48.619
 be able

00:25:48.619 --> 00:25:49.119
 to separate

00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:49.599
 us from

00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:50.180
 the love

00:25:50.180 --> 00:25:50.799
 of God

00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:51.339
 in Christ

00:25:51.339 --> 00:25:52.119
 Jesus our

00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:52.519
 Lord,

00:25:52.619 --> 00:25:53.559
 Romans 8,

00:25:53.639 --> 00:25:54.039
 39.

00:25:55.099 --> 00:25:55.579
 We were

00:25:55.579 --> 00:25:56.079
 dead in

00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:56.819
 our trespasses

00:25:56.819 --> 00:25:57.359
 and sins

00:25:57.359 --> 00:25:57.759
 in which we

00:25:57.759 --> 00:25:58.420
 once walked

00:25:58.420 --> 00:25:59.379
 but God

00:25:59.379 --> 00:26:00.220
 being rich

00:26:00.220 --> 00:26:01.000
 in mercy

00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:02.579
 because of

00:26:02.579 --> 00:26:03.259
 the great

00:26:03.259 --> 00:26:04.720
 love with

00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:05.139
 which he

00:26:05.139 --> 00:26:06.099
 loved us

00:26:06.099 --> 00:26:06.639
 even when

00:26:06.639 --> 00:26:06.900
 we were

00:26:06.900 --> 00:26:07.220
 dead in

00:26:07.220 --> 00:26:07.379
 our

00:26:07.380 --> 00:26:08.100
 trespasses

00:26:08.100 --> 00:26:08.940
 made us

00:26:08.940 --> 00:26:09.840
 alive together

00:26:09.840 --> 00:26:10.440
 with Christ,

00:26:10.580 --> 00:26:11.040
 Ephesians

00:26:11.040 --> 00:26:12.240
 chapter 2.

00:26:13.740 --> 00:26:14.500
 All of

00:26:14.500 --> 00:26:15.440
 our salvation

00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:17.140
 from beginning

00:26:17.140 --> 00:26:18.360
 to end,

00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:19.100
 all of it

00:26:19.100 --> 00:26:20.060
 is a work

00:26:20.060 --> 00:26:21.360
 of divine

00:26:21.360 --> 00:26:22.060
 profound

00:26:22.060 --> 00:26:23.980
 love for

00:26:23.980 --> 00:26:24.360
 sinners.

00:26:27.180 --> 00:26:27.920
 Of course

00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:29.860
 this shatters

00:26:29.860 --> 00:26:30.620
 the idea

00:26:30.620 --> 00:26:32.200
 that God

00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:32.940
 is a God

00:26:32.940 --> 00:26:33.540
 of wrath

00:26:33.540 --> 00:26:34.040
 and Jesus

00:26:34.040 --> 00:26:34.820
 is a God

00:26:34.820 --> 00:26:35.320
 of love.

00:26:35.319 --> 00:26:35.559
 have you

00:26:35.559 --> 00:26:35.839
 ever heard

00:26:35.839 --> 00:26:36.419
 anybody

00:26:36.419 --> 00:26:36.759
 say that

00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:37.019
 to you?

00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:37.679
 Maybe

00:26:37.679 --> 00:26:37.859
 you've

00:26:37.859 --> 00:26:38.019
 ever

00:26:38.019 --> 00:26:38.659
 thought

00:26:38.659 --> 00:26:38.839
 that

00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:39.240
 yourself

00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:39.500
 that

00:26:39.500 --> 00:26:40.200
 God

00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:40.359
 the

00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:40.519
 Old

00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:40.859
 Testament

00:26:40.859 --> 00:26:41.259
 God

00:26:41.259 --> 00:26:41.500
 he's

00:26:41.500 --> 00:26:41.619
 the

00:26:41.619 --> 00:26:42.059
 wrathful

00:26:42.059 --> 00:26:42.359
 one

00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:42.539
 and

 Jesus

00:26:42.779 --> 00:26:43.279
 over here

00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:43.559

00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:43.859
 the good

 one

00:26:44.059 --> 00:26:44.319
 God

 the father's

00:26:44.859 --> 00:26:45.539
 bad cop

00:26:45.539 --> 00:26:45.859
 Jesus

00:26:47.179 --> 00:26:48.000
 Jesus

00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:48.539
 just has

00:26:48.539 --> 00:26:49.079
 to twist

00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:49.640
 God's

00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:49.960
 arm

00:26:49.960 --> 00:26:50.480

00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:50.720
 him

00:26:50.720 --> 00:26:51.140
 like

00:26:51.140 --> 00:26:51.680
 us

00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:52.740
 that

00:26:52.740 --> 00:26:53.059
 couldn't

00:26:53.059 --> 00:26:53.200
 be

00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:53.500
 further

00:26:53.500 --> 00:26:53.779
 from

 the

00:26:53.900 --> 00:26:54.279
 truth

00:26:54.279 --> 00:26:55.799

00:26:55.799 --> 00:26:56.480
 cross

00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:56.839
 of

 Jesus

00:26:57.240 --> 00:26:57.839
 Christ

00:26:57.839 --> 00:26:58.140
 is

00:26:58.140 --> 00:26:59.259
 God's

00:26:59.259 --> 00:27:00.119

00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:01.960
 God's

00:27:01.960 --> 00:27:02.599
 plan

00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:03.220
 to

00:27:03.220 --> 00:27:03.819
 remove

00:27:03.819 --> 00:27:04.140
 the

00:27:04.140 --> 00:27:04.440
 fullness

00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:04.779
 of

00:27:04.779 --> 00:27:05.180

00:27:05.180 --> 00:27:05.700
 wrath

00:27:05.700 --> 00:27:06.079
 from

00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:06.640
 so

00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:06.799

00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:07.000
 we

00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:07.339
 might

00:27:07.339 --> 00:27:07.579
 know

00:27:07.579 --> 00:27:07.819
 the

00:27:07.819 --> 00:27:08.079
 fullness

00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:08.380
 of

00:27:08.380 --> 00:27:08.720
 God's

00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:09.279
 love

00:27:09.279 --> 00:27:09.660
 for

00:27:09.660 --> 00:27:10.000

00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:10.400
 in

00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:11.000

00:28:28.119 --> 00:28:29.140
 Moses

00:28:29.140 --> 00:28:29.599
 well

00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:29.900
 this

00:28:29.900 --> 00:28:30.259
 is

00:28:30.259 --> 00:28:30.859
 a

00:28:30.859 --> 00:28:31.319
 bit

00:28:31.319 --> 00:28:31.559
 it's

00:28:31.559 --> 00:28:31.680
 a

00:28:31.680 --> 00:28:32.099
 shadow

00:28:32.099 --> 00:28:32.319
 it's

00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:32.480
 a

00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:32.720
 bit

00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:33.059
 like

00:28:33.059 --> 00:28:33.339
 the

00:28:33.339 --> 00:28:33.880
 priestly

00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:34.500
 work

00:28:34.500 --> 00:28:34.799
 of

00:28:34.799 --> 00:28:35.200
 Jesus

00:28:35.200 --> 00:28:36.779
 Jesus

00:28:36.779 --> 00:28:37.100
 is

00:28:37.100 --> 00:28:37.259
 the

00:28:37.259 --> 00:28:37.600
 one

00:28:37.600 --> 00:28:38.279
 who

00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:39.360
 mediates

00:28:39.360 --> 00:28:39.779
 between

00:28:39.779 --> 00:28:40.360
 sinful

00:28:40.360 --> 00:28:40.819
 man

00:28:40.819 --> 00:28:41.039
 and

00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:41.480
 holy

00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:42.059
 God

00:28:42.059 --> 00:28:43.160
 he's

00:28:43.160 --> 00:28:43.259
 the

00:28:43.259 --> 00:28:43.440
 one

00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:43.600
 that

00:28:43.600 --> 00:28:43.839
 makes

00:28:43.839 --> 00:28:43.960
 it

00:28:43.960 --> 00:28:44.380
 possible

00:28:44.380 --> 00:28:44.759
 for

00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:45.160
 sinners

00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:45.460
 like

00:28:45.460 --> 00:28:45.700
 us

00:28:45.700 --> 00:28:45.880
 to

00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:46.720
 speak

00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:46.980
 to

00:28:46.980 --> 00:28:47.140
 a

00:28:47.140 --> 00:28:47.380
 holy

00:28:47.380 --> 00:28:47.799
 God

00:28:47.799 --> 00:28:48.299
 but

00:28:48.299 --> 00:28:48.940
 he

00:28:48.940 --> 00:28:49.299
 says

00:28:49.299 --> 00:28:49.480
 it's

00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:49.980
 even

00:28:49.980 --> 00:28:50.720
 better

00:28:50.720 --> 00:28:50.980
 than

00:28:50.980 --> 00:28:51.180
 what

00:28:51.180 --> 00:28:51.519
 Moses

00:28:51.519 --> 00:28:51.880
 did

00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:52.000
 on

00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:52.120
 the

00:28:52.120 --> 00:28:52.400
 mountain

00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:53.180
 because

00:28:53.180 --> 00:28:54.039
 you've

00:28:54.039 --> 00:28:54.319
 loved

00:28:54.319 --> 00:28:54.559
 me

00:28:54.559 --> 00:28:54.860
 because

00:28:54.860 --> 00:28:55.140
 you

00:28:55.140 --> 00:28:55.620
 believe

00:28:55.620 --> 00:28:55.900
 me

00:28:55.900 --> 00:28:56.660
 God

00:28:56.660 --> 00:28:57.559
 himself

00:28:57.559 --> 00:28:58.519
 loves

00:28:58.519 --> 00:28:59.539
 you

00:28:59.539 --> 00:29:01.640
 you

00:29:01.640 --> 00:29:01.779
 see

00:29:01.779 --> 00:29:01.920
 the

00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:02.259
 difference

00:29:02.259 --> 00:29:02.539
 here

00:29:02.539 --> 00:29:04.180
 because

00:29:04.180 --> 00:29:04.680
 of what

00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:05.000
 Jesus

00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:05.259
 has

00:29:05.259 --> 00:29:05.559
 done

00:29:05.559 --> 00:29:05.899
 you

00:29:05.899 --> 00:29:06.059
 and

00:29:06.059 --> 00:29:06.220
 I

00:29:06.220 --> 00:29:06.420
 are

00:29:06.420 --> 00:29:06.920
 invited

00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:07.200
 to

00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:07.619
 come

00:29:07.619 --> 00:29:07.940
 to

00:29:07.940 --> 00:29:08.480
 God

00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:09.259
 in

00:29:09.259 --> 00:29:10.299
 Christ

00:29:10.299 --> 00:29:11.339
 not

00:29:11.339 --> 00:29:11.700
 simply

00:29:11.700 --> 00:29:11.980
 as a

00:29:11.980 --> 00:29:12.139
 go

00:29:12.139 --> 00:29:12.500
 between

00:29:12.500 --> 00:29:12.859
 but

00:29:12.859 --> 00:29:13.200
 but

00:29:13.200 --> 00:29:13.639
 in

00:29:13.639 --> 00:29:14.319
 him

00:29:14.319 --> 00:29:14.599
 listen

00:29:14.599 --> 00:29:14.759
 to

00:29:14.759 --> 00:29:14.960
 this

00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:15.220
 church

00:29:15.220 --> 00:29:15.859
 we

00:29:15.859 --> 00:29:16.180
 are

00:29:16.180 --> 00:29:16.799
 invited

00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:17.159
 to

00:29:17.159 --> 00:29:17.960
 share

00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:18.159
 in

00:29:18.159 --> 00:29:18.319
 the

00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:19.139
 relational

00:29:19.139 --> 00:29:20.200
 love

00:29:20.200 --> 00:29:20.559
 that

00:29:20.559 --> 00:29:20.759
 has

00:29:20.759 --> 00:29:21.359
 existed

00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:21.960
 before

00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:22.559
 eternity

00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:23.019
 began

00:29:23.019 --> 00:29:23.339
 between

00:29:23.339 --> 00:29:23.579
 the

00:29:23.579 --> 00:29:23.960
 father

00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:24.619
 and

00:29:24.619 --> 00:29:24.799
 the

00:29:24.799 --> 00:29:25.139
 son

00:29:25.139 --> 00:29:25.460
 do

00:29:25.460 --> 00:29:25.500
 you

00:29:25.500 --> 00:29:25.639
 hear

00:29:25.639 --> 00:29:25.940
 that

00:29:25.940 --> 00:29:27.119
 not

00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:27.279
 as

00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:27.399
 an

00:29:27.399 --> 00:29:27.940
 unwelcome

00:29:27.940 --> 00:29:28.359
 third

00:29:28.359 --> 00:29:28.720
 wheel

00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:29.899
 but

00:29:29.899 --> 00:29:30.000
 in

00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:30.139
 the

00:29:30.139 --> 00:29:30.759
 full

00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:31.619
 acceptance

00:29:31.619 --> 00:29:32.799
 and love

00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:33.259
 of the

00:29:33.259 --> 00:29:33.779
 son

00:29:33.779 --> 00:29:34.659
 himself

00:29:34.659 --> 00:29:35.759
 that's

00:29:35.759 --> 00:29:36.719
 unthinkable

00:29:36.719 --> 00:29:37.359
 access

00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:41.859
 I'll give you another illustration

00:29:41.859 --> 00:29:42.479
 I'll see if this

00:29:42.479 --> 00:29:44.399
 helps clarify this for us

00:29:44.399 --> 00:29:48.219
 there is a

00:29:48.219 --> 00:29:50.199
 there's a pastor

00:29:50.199 --> 00:29:52.559
 who has influenced me

00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:52.939
 and

00:29:52.939 --> 00:29:54.139
 in profound

00:29:54.139 --> 00:29:55.079
 ways

00:29:55.079 --> 00:29:56.319
 I won't say his name right now

00:29:56.319 --> 00:29:57.000
 I don't know that that'd be

00:29:57.000 --> 00:29:57.699
 helpful

00:29:57.700 --> 00:29:59.340
 but this man's

00:29:59.340 --> 00:29:59.940
 writing

00:29:59.940 --> 00:30:01.140
 has influenced

00:30:01.140 --> 00:30:01.720
 me

00:30:01.720 --> 00:30:02.080
 his

00:30:02.080 --> 00:30:02.840
 preaching

00:30:02.840 --> 00:30:03.319
 has

00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:04.180
 influenced

00:30:04.180 --> 00:30:04.519
 me

00:30:04.519 --> 00:30:05.059
 he's not

00:30:05.059 --> 00:30:05.580
 perfect

00:30:05.580 --> 00:30:06.360
 of course he's not

00:30:06.360 --> 00:30:06.860
 he's human

00:30:06.860 --> 00:30:08.580
 but he's been a

00:30:08.580 --> 00:30:09.559
 major impact

00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:10.279
 on my life

00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:11.559
 he's shaped

00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:12.840
 my theology

00:30:12.840 --> 00:30:13.759
 my ministry

00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:15.360
 he's helped me see more

00:30:15.360 --> 00:30:16.400
 clearly the gospel

00:30:16.400 --> 00:30:18.680
 than just about anybody else

00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:19.940
 indirectly

00:30:19.940 --> 00:30:20.700
 I've never

00:30:20.700 --> 00:30:21.660
 never met him

00:30:21.660 --> 00:30:23.380
 never spoken with him

00:30:23.380 --> 00:30:23.940
 but he has

00:30:23.940 --> 00:30:25.080
 he's shaped me

00:30:25.080 --> 00:30:25.779
 and countless

00:30:25.779 --> 00:30:26.960
 thousands of others

00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:28.340
 in ways that he probably

00:30:28.340 --> 00:30:29.180
 won't even realize

00:30:29.180 --> 00:30:30.160
 until he gets to glory

00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:32.259
 well

00:30:32.259 --> 00:30:34.279
 interestingly enough

00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:35.880
 again I don't know him

00:30:35.880 --> 00:30:37.380
 I've never spoken to him

00:30:37.380 --> 00:30:39.500
 but over the past few years

00:30:39.500 --> 00:30:40.680
 I have gotten to know

00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:41.539
 his son

00:30:41.539 --> 00:30:43.600
 and listen

00:30:43.600 --> 00:30:45.100
 I have never once

00:30:45.100 --> 00:30:46.440
 over the past three years

00:30:46.440 --> 00:30:47.240
 that I've known the son

00:30:47.240 --> 00:30:48.299
 I've never once

00:30:48.299 --> 00:30:49.000
 asked him

00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:49.660
 anything

00:30:49.660 --> 00:30:50.819
 about the father

00:30:50.819 --> 00:30:52.400
 we talk almost

00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:53.480
 weekly over text

00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:54.539
 we talk exclusively

00:30:54.539 --> 00:30:55.340
 about basketball

00:30:55.340 --> 00:30:56.779
 that's it

00:30:56.779 --> 00:30:58.500
 but you've got to understand

00:30:58.500 --> 00:30:59.460
 that this man

00:30:59.460 --> 00:31:00.299
 his father

00:31:00.299 --> 00:31:01.539
 is a hero

00:31:01.539 --> 00:31:02.339
 of mine

00:31:02.339 --> 00:31:03.220
 and I could

00:31:03.220 --> 00:31:04.079
 in theory

00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:05.440
 I could at any time

00:31:05.440 --> 00:31:07.099
 I could text the son

00:31:07.099 --> 00:31:08.160
 and ask him

00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:09.819
 to bring to the father

00:31:09.819 --> 00:31:10.779
 a request

00:31:10.779 --> 00:31:12.079
 or a question

00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:13.700
 or a thank you

00:31:13.700 --> 00:31:15.559
 or some sort of message

00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:16.240
 from me

00:31:16.240 --> 00:31:17.059
 if I'm struggling

00:31:17.059 --> 00:31:17.899
 with a text

00:31:17.899 --> 00:31:19.139
 and preparing for a sermon

00:31:19.139 --> 00:31:20.200
 I could in theory

00:31:20.200 --> 00:31:21.359
 text the son

00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:22.000
 and ask him

00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:22.740
 to ask the father

00:31:22.740 --> 00:31:23.839
 hey can you help me out here

00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:26.119
 that sort of access

00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:27.220
 to one of my

00:31:27.220 --> 00:31:28.759
 theological heroes

00:31:28.759 --> 00:31:30.000
 is at all time

00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:31.619
 right there in my pocket

00:31:31.619 --> 00:31:33.279
 I'm two degrees removed

00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:34.119
 from one of my

00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:35.859
 my men that's shaped me

00:31:35.859 --> 00:31:36.919
 in profound ways

00:31:36.919 --> 00:31:37.299
 that's

00:31:37.299 --> 00:31:39.159
 I think pretty incredible

00:31:39.159 --> 00:31:41.220
 but what

00:31:41.220 --> 00:31:41.939
 Jesus

00:31:41.939 --> 00:31:42.779
 says

00:31:42.779 --> 00:31:44.379
 here in John 16

00:31:44.379 --> 00:31:45.159
 listen to this

00:31:45.159 --> 00:31:46.899
 is that what he

00:31:46.899 --> 00:31:48.019
 has worked up

00:31:48.019 --> 00:31:48.799
 in the gospel

00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:49.619
 is even

00:31:49.619 --> 00:31:50.240
 better

00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:51.119
 than that

00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:53.139
 you have

00:31:53.139 --> 00:31:54.419
 an even sweeter

00:31:54.419 --> 00:31:55.239
 access

00:31:55.239 --> 00:31:56.599
 to God the father

00:31:56.599 --> 00:31:57.359
 than that

00:31:57.359 --> 00:31:59.079
 yes your access

00:31:59.079 --> 00:31:59.859
 to the father

00:31:59.859 --> 00:32:01.039
 is through

00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:02.119
 the son

00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:03.239
 in the name

00:32:03.239 --> 00:32:03.839
 of the son

00:32:03.839 --> 00:32:04.299
 but church

00:32:04.299 --> 00:32:05.599
 you come to God

00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:06.199
 not just

00:32:06.199 --> 00:32:07.479
 through the son

00:32:07.479 --> 00:32:08.399
 but in

00:32:08.399 --> 00:32:09.179
 the son

00:32:09.179 --> 00:32:10.699
 as a son

00:32:10.699 --> 00:32:14.279
 God the father

00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:15.339
 sees

00:32:15.339 --> 00:32:16.279
 not just

00:32:16.279 --> 00:32:16.819
 the son

00:32:16.819 --> 00:32:18.239
 representing you

00:32:18.240 --> 00:32:19.819
 he sees the son

00:32:19.819 --> 00:32:21.079
 in you

00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:21.599
 and you

00:32:21.599 --> 00:32:22.120
 in him

00:32:22.120 --> 00:32:23.920
 do you see the difference

00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:27.240
 what a difference

00:32:27.240 --> 00:32:27.720
 that makes

00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:28.220
 praise

00:32:28.220 --> 00:32:29.259
 Jesus

00:32:29.259 --> 00:32:29.900
 we are not

00:32:29.900 --> 00:32:30.680
 two degrees

00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:31.539
 removed from God

00:32:31.539 --> 00:32:32.039
 the father

00:32:32.039 --> 00:32:34.400
 we are made

00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:35.620
 one with God

00:32:35.620 --> 00:32:36.559
 through faith

00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:37.660
 in Christ

00:32:37.660 --> 00:32:38.579
 that's what Jesus

00:32:38.579 --> 00:32:39.319
 has done

00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:40.440
 for all who love

00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:40.859
 him

00:32:40.859 --> 00:32:42.140
 and believe

00:32:42.140 --> 00:32:42.920
 in him

00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:43.460
 you see that

00:32:43.460 --> 00:32:44.519
 that qualification

00:32:44.519 --> 00:32:45.420
 there at the end

00:32:45.420 --> 00:32:47.420
 that love of the father

00:32:47.420 --> 00:32:48.800
 is offered to you

00:32:48.800 --> 00:32:49.620
 non-believer

00:32:49.620 --> 00:32:50.960
 if you would turn

00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:51.560
 from your sin

00:32:51.560 --> 00:32:52.080
 and trust

00:32:52.080 --> 00:32:52.940
 in Christ

00:32:52.940 --> 00:32:53.680
 you can enter

00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:54.720
 into the love

00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:55.539
 of the father

00:32:55.539 --> 00:32:56.519
 for all who love

00:32:56.519 --> 00:32:57.060
 the son

00:32:57.060 --> 00:32:58.140
 and believe

00:32:58.140 --> 00:32:59.060
 that he came

00:32:59.060 --> 00:32:59.600
 from God

00:32:59.600 --> 00:33:00.060
 if so

00:33:00.060 --> 00:33:01.500
 you can enjoy

00:33:01.500 --> 00:33:02.220
 one more benefit

00:33:02.220 --> 00:33:02.840
 here

00:33:02.840 --> 00:33:03.440
 of the work

00:33:03.440 --> 00:33:03.900
 of Christ

00:33:03.900 --> 00:33:04.580
 benefit number

00:33:04.580 --> 00:33:05.000
 three

00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:07.140
 persevering

00:33:07.140 --> 00:33:07.940
 peace

00:33:07.940 --> 00:33:10.200
 persevering

00:33:10.200 --> 00:33:11.300
 peace

00:33:11.300 --> 00:33:13.560
 Jesus says

00:33:13.560 --> 00:33:15.400
 in verse 28

00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:16.660
 I came from the father

00:33:16.660 --> 00:33:17.279
 and have come

00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:18.019
 into the world

00:33:18.019 --> 00:33:18.580
 and now

00:33:18.580 --> 00:33:19.920
 I am leaving

00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:20.480
 the world

00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:21.019
 and going

00:33:21.019 --> 00:33:22.360
 to the father

00:33:22.360 --> 00:33:23.000
 and the light bulbs

00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:23.620
 come on

00:33:23.620 --> 00:33:24.460
 all of a sudden

00:33:24.460 --> 00:33:25.220
 for the disciples

00:33:25.220 --> 00:33:26.540
 the disciples

00:33:26.540 --> 00:33:27.400
 finally get it

00:33:27.400 --> 00:33:27.860
 or so

00:33:27.860 --> 00:33:28.720
 so they thought

00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:29.180
 right

00:33:29.180 --> 00:33:29.640
 they said

00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:30.420
 ah

00:33:30.420 --> 00:33:32.019
 now you're speaking

00:33:32.019 --> 00:33:32.960
 to us plainly

00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:33.640
 and not using

00:33:33.640 --> 00:33:34.580
 figurative speech

00:33:34.580 --> 00:33:34.940
 now

00:33:34.940 --> 00:33:35.660
 now we know

00:33:35.660 --> 00:33:36.019
 that you

00:33:36.019 --> 00:33:37.259
 you know all things

00:33:37.259 --> 00:33:38.060
 do not need anyone

00:33:38.060 --> 00:33:38.980
 to question you

00:33:38.980 --> 00:33:40.300
 this is why

00:33:40.300 --> 00:33:40.920
 we believe

00:33:40.920 --> 00:33:41.560
 that you came

00:33:41.560 --> 00:33:42.200
 from God

00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:42.779
 and Jesus

00:33:42.779 --> 00:33:44.880
 he knows better

00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:47.220
 he calms down

00:33:47.220 --> 00:33:48.160
 their enthusiasm

00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:49.100
 just a bit

00:33:49.100 --> 00:33:49.580
 doesn't he

00:33:49.580 --> 00:33:51.020
 he says

00:33:51.020 --> 00:33:51.800
 do you now

00:33:51.800 --> 00:33:52.300
 believe

00:33:52.300 --> 00:33:53.580
 behold

00:33:53.580 --> 00:33:54.180
 the hour

00:33:54.180 --> 00:33:54.700
 is coming

00:33:54.700 --> 00:33:55.020
 indeed

00:33:55.020 --> 00:33:56.000
 it has come

00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:56.240
 when

00:33:56.240 --> 00:33:57.360
 you will all

00:33:57.360 --> 00:33:58.220
 be scattered

00:33:58.220 --> 00:33:59.300
 each

00:33:59.300 --> 00:34:00.060
 to his own

00:34:00.060 --> 00:34:00.440
 home

00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:00.820
 and will

00:34:00.820 --> 00:34:01.620
 leave me

00:34:01.620 --> 00:34:02.560
 alone

00:34:02.560 --> 00:34:03.020
 you think

00:34:03.020 --> 00:34:04.040
 you get it

00:34:04.040 --> 00:34:04.440
 you think

00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:05.120
 you understand

00:34:05.120 --> 00:34:06.280
 you think

00:34:06.280 --> 00:34:07.100
 you see me

00:34:07.100 --> 00:34:07.920
 for who I am

00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:08.260
 just

00:34:08.260 --> 00:34:09.260
 wait

00:34:09.260 --> 00:34:10.059
 and of course

00:34:10.059 --> 00:34:11.640
 this prediction

00:34:11.640 --> 00:34:12.119
 will

00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:13.079
 in just a few

00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:13.859
 short hours

00:34:13.859 --> 00:34:14.359
 prove

00:34:14.359 --> 00:34:15.000
 true

00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:17.000
 Mark's

00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:17.679
 gospel

00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:18.019
 shares

00:34:18.019 --> 00:34:18.460
 that in the

00:34:18.460 --> 00:34:18.759
 same

00:34:18.759 --> 00:34:19.359
 upper room

00:34:19.359 --> 00:34:19.859
 discourse

00:34:19.859 --> 00:34:20.159
 they

00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:20.900
 they take

00:34:20.900 --> 00:34:21.400
 the Lord's

00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:21.639
 supper

00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:22.239
 together

00:34:22.239 --> 00:34:22.519
 they

00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:23.380
 they sing

00:34:23.380 --> 00:34:24.019
 a hymn

00:34:24.019 --> 00:34:24.699
 together

00:34:24.699 --> 00:34:25.339
 and then

00:34:25.339 --> 00:34:25.859
 Jesus

00:34:25.859 --> 00:34:26.599
 looks around

00:34:26.599 --> 00:34:27.079
 to the men

00:34:27.079 --> 00:34:27.599
 in the room

00:34:27.599 --> 00:34:28.239
 and he says

00:34:28.239 --> 00:34:28.940
 you will all

00:34:28.940 --> 00:34:29.500
 fall away

00:34:29.500 --> 00:34:30.940
 for it is

00:34:30.940 --> 00:34:31.199
 written

00:34:31.199 --> 00:34:32.000
 I will strike

00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:32.619
 the shepherd

00:34:32.619 --> 00:34:33.460
 and the sheep

00:34:33.460 --> 00:34:34.400
 will be

00:34:34.400 --> 00:34:35.339
 scattered

00:34:35.339 --> 00:34:36.980
 and Peter

00:34:36.980 --> 00:34:37.759
 in typical

00:34:37.759 --> 00:34:38.179
 fashion

00:34:38.179 --> 00:34:38.579
 what does he

00:34:38.579 --> 00:34:38.839
 say

00:34:38.839 --> 00:34:40.299
 not me

00:34:40.299 --> 00:34:40.699
 Lord

00:34:40.699 --> 00:34:42.279
 I will

00:34:42.279 --> 00:34:42.759
 die

00:34:42.759 --> 00:34:43.279
 before I

00:34:43.279 --> 00:34:43.500
 deny

00:34:43.500 --> 00:34:43.839
 you

00:34:43.839 --> 00:34:44.239
 it can't

00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:44.799
 be me

00:34:44.799 --> 00:34:46.899
 how many

00:34:46.899 --> 00:34:47.199
 of us

00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:47.519
 would say

00:34:47.519 --> 00:34:47.919
 the same

00:34:47.919 --> 00:34:48.379
 thing

00:34:48.379 --> 00:34:49.980
 Jesus

00:34:49.980 --> 00:34:50.639
 is arrested

00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:51.059
 in Mark

00:34:51.059 --> 00:34:51.599
 14

00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:52.239
 verse 50

00:34:52.239 --> 00:34:52.659
 it simply

00:34:52.659 --> 00:34:53.039
 says

00:34:53.039 --> 00:34:53.779
 they all

00:34:53.779 --> 00:34:54.319
 left him

00:34:54.319 --> 00:34:55.439
 and fled

00:34:55.439 --> 00:34:56.419
 only Peter

00:34:56.419 --> 00:34:57.179
 and John

00:34:57.179 --> 00:34:57.939
 followed Jesus

00:34:57.939 --> 00:34:58.460
 after his

00:34:58.460 --> 00:34:58.819
 arrest

00:34:58.819 --> 00:34:59.219
 and of course

00:34:59.219 --> 00:34:59.460
 you know

00:34:59.460 --> 00:34:59.960
 the story

00:34:59.960 --> 00:35:00.739
 that Peter

00:35:00.739 --> 00:35:01.859
 stayed outside

00:35:01.859 --> 00:35:02.559
 the courtroom

00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:03.000
 door

00:35:03.000 --> 00:35:03.359
 and while

00:35:03.359 --> 00:35:03.739
 Jesus

00:35:03.739 --> 00:35:04.480
 was questioned

00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:04.899
 Peter

00:35:04.899 --> 00:35:05.799
 Peter was asked

00:35:05.799 --> 00:35:06.519
 three times

00:35:06.519 --> 00:35:06.939
 do you

00:35:06.939 --> 00:35:07.460
 do you

00:35:07.460 --> 00:35:07.799
 know the

00:35:07.799 --> 00:35:08.059
 man

00:35:08.059 --> 00:35:09.639
 are you

00:35:09.639 --> 00:35:09.879
 his

00:35:09.879 --> 00:35:10.419
 disciple

00:35:10.420 --> 00:35:10.980
 didn't I

00:35:10.980 --> 00:35:11.460
 see you

00:35:11.460 --> 00:35:12.000
 with him

00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:13.599
 three

00:35:13.599 --> 00:35:14.300
 times

00:35:14.300 --> 00:35:14.599
 he had

00:35:14.599 --> 00:35:14.720
 the

00:35:14.720 --> 00:35:15.159
 opportunity

00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:15.820
 to claim

00:35:15.820 --> 00:35:16.420
 allegiance

00:35:16.420 --> 00:35:17.059
 to Jesus

00:35:17.059 --> 00:35:17.740
 and three

00:35:17.740 --> 00:35:18.559
 times

00:35:18.559 --> 00:35:19.760
 he denied

00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:20.099
 him

00:35:20.099 --> 00:35:21.039
 I don't

00:35:21.039 --> 00:35:21.460
 know him

00:35:21.460 --> 00:35:22.900
 I don't

00:35:22.900 --> 00:35:23.300
 know him

00:35:23.300 --> 00:35:23.800
 I don't

00:35:23.800 --> 00:35:24.460
 know the

00:35:24.460 --> 00:35:24.880
 man

00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:26.519
 Jesus'

00:35:26.760 --> 00:35:27.139
 words

00:35:27.139 --> 00:35:27.539
 here

00:35:27.539 --> 00:35:27.800
 this

00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:28.780
 promise

00:35:28.780 --> 00:35:29.320
 sadly

00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:30.460
 came true

00:35:30.460 --> 00:35:31.019
 the shepherd

00:35:31.019 --> 00:35:31.780
 was struck

00:35:31.780 --> 00:35:32.180
 and all

00:35:32.180 --> 00:35:32.720
 the sheep

00:35:32.720 --> 00:35:33.940
 were scattered

00:35:33.940 --> 00:35:34.380
 and you know

00:35:34.380 --> 00:35:35.280
 at the hour

00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:36.639
 of his death

00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:37.599
 on the cross

00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:37.840
 you know

00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:38.320
 only one

00:35:38.320 --> 00:35:38.680
 apostle

00:35:38.680 --> 00:35:39.159
 remained

00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:40.159
 you know

00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:40.379
 who it

00:35:40.379 --> 00:35:40.699
 was

00:35:40.699 --> 00:35:42.599
 John

00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:44.339
 the author

00:35:44.339 --> 00:35:45.539
 of this

00:35:45.539 --> 00:35:46.059
 gospel

00:35:46.059 --> 00:35:46.719
 account

00:35:46.719 --> 00:35:47.480
 and I

00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:47.719
 just want

00:35:47.719 --> 00:35:48.079
 to say

00:35:48.079 --> 00:35:48.719
 briefly

00:35:48.719 --> 00:35:49.019
 as an

00:35:49.019 --> 00:35:49.359
 aside

00:35:49.359 --> 00:35:49.699
 as we

00:35:49.699 --> 00:35:50.239
 prepare

00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:50.559
 in the

00:35:50.559 --> 00:35:50.879
 weeks

00:35:50.879 --> 00:35:51.480
 to come

00:35:51.480 --> 00:35:52.539
 to walk

00:35:52.539 --> 00:35:53.119
 with Jesus

00:35:53.119 --> 00:35:53.859
 towards the

00:35:53.859 --> 00:35:54.239
 cross

00:35:54.239 --> 00:35:54.539
 as we

00:35:54.539 --> 00:35:54.980
 hear from

00:35:54.980 --> 00:35:55.819
 the lips

00:35:55.819 --> 00:35:56.539
 of John

00:35:56.539 --> 00:35:57.619
 about his

00:35:57.619 --> 00:35:58.259
 brutal

00:35:58.259 --> 00:35:59.399
 beatings

00:35:59.399 --> 00:35:59.739
 about his

00:35:59.739 --> 00:36:00.119
 death

00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:00.379
 on the

00:36:00.379 --> 00:36:00.659
 cross

00:36:00.659 --> 00:36:01.500
 I want

00:36:01.500 --> 00:36:01.819
 you to

00:36:01.819 --> 00:36:02.559
 hear from

00:36:02.559 --> 00:36:03.199
 John's

00:36:03.199 --> 00:36:03.759
 perspective

00:36:03.759 --> 00:36:04.460
 as an

00:36:04.460 --> 00:36:05.219
 eyewitness

00:36:05.219 --> 00:36:05.679
 to the

00:36:05.679 --> 00:36:06.099
 sufferings

00:36:06.099 --> 00:36:06.679
 of Christ

00:36:06.679 --> 00:36:08.019
 I want

00:36:08.019 --> 00:36:08.219
 you to

00:36:08.219 --> 00:36:08.539
 place

00:36:08.539 --> 00:36:09.039
 yourself

00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:09.379
 there

00:36:09.379 --> 00:36:09.739
 and see

00:36:09.739 --> 00:36:09.960
 with

00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:10.480
 John's

00:36:10.480 --> 00:36:10.899
 eyes

00:36:10.899 --> 00:36:11.139
 that's

00:36:11.139 --> 00:36:11.239
 what

00:36:11.239 --> 00:36:11.519
 he wants

00:36:11.519 --> 00:36:11.739
 you to

00:36:11.739 --> 00:36:11.919
 do

00:36:11.919 --> 00:36:12.639
 he wants

00:36:12.639 --> 00:36:12.839
 you to

00:36:12.839 --> 00:36:13.480
 consider

00:36:13.480 --> 00:36:14.179
 the things

00:36:14.179 --> 00:36:14.699
 that have

00:36:14.699 --> 00:36:15.539
 been done

00:36:15.539 --> 00:36:17.000
 he wants

00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:17.159
 you to

00:36:17.159 --> 00:36:17.480
 consider

00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:18.079
 what Jesus

00:36:18.079 --> 00:36:18.679
 has done

00:36:18.679 --> 00:36:18.940
 he wants

00:36:18.940 --> 00:36:19.179
 you to

00:36:19.179 --> 00:36:20.239
 consider

00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:20.859
 what he's

00:36:20.859 --> 00:36:21.239
 seen

00:36:21.239 --> 00:36:21.579
 he wants

00:36:21.579 --> 00:36:21.739
 you to

00:36:21.739 --> 00:36:22.139
 consider

00:36:22.139 --> 00:36:22.480
 with him

00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:23.039
 the words

00:36:23.039 --> 00:36:23.279
 that were

00:36:23.279 --> 00:36:23.739
 spoken

00:36:23.739 --> 00:36:24.059
 and the

00:36:24.059 --> 00:36:24.539
 promises

00:36:24.539 --> 00:36:24.960
 that were

00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:25.339
 kept

00:36:25.339 --> 00:36:26.059
 in Christ

00:36:26.059 --> 00:36:27.059
 most of

00:36:27.059 --> 00:36:27.239
 them

00:36:27.239 --> 00:36:28.000
 gloriously

00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:28.399
 good

00:36:28.399 --> 00:36:28.960
 but this

00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:30.000
 this one

00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:31.379
 this promise

00:36:31.379 --> 00:36:31.960
 filled with

00:36:31.960 --> 00:36:32.319
 sorrow

00:36:32.319 --> 00:36:33.199
 you profess

00:36:33.199 --> 00:36:34.159
 to understand

00:36:34.159 --> 00:36:34.639
 but you

00:36:34.639 --> 00:36:35.299
 will all

00:36:35.300 --> 00:36:36.400
 leave me

00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:37.400
 alone

00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:38.060
 yet he

00:36:38.060 --> 00:36:38.480
 says in

00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:39.120
 verse 32

00:36:39.120 --> 00:36:41.300
 I am

00:36:41.300 --> 00:36:41.900
 not alone

00:36:41.900 --> 00:36:42.380
 for the

00:36:42.380 --> 00:36:42.760
 father

00:36:42.760 --> 00:36:43.860
 is with

00:36:43.860 --> 00:36:44.200
 me

00:36:44.200 --> 00:36:45.820
 I've

00:36:45.820 --> 00:36:46.019
 said

00:36:46.019 --> 00:36:46.240
 these

00:36:46.240 --> 00:36:46.600
 things

00:36:46.600 --> 00:36:47.019
 to you

00:36:47.019 --> 00:36:47.360
 that in

00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:47.519
 me

00:36:47.519 --> 00:36:47.920
 you may

00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:48.280
 have

00:36:48.280 --> 00:36:49.000
 peace

00:36:49.000 --> 00:36:49.320
 in the

00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:49.640
 world

00:36:49.640 --> 00:36:50.100
 you will

00:36:50.100 --> 00:36:50.300
 have

00:36:50.300 --> 00:36:51.019
 tribulation

00:36:51.019 --> 00:36:51.600
 but take

00:36:51.600 --> 00:36:52.060
 heart

00:36:52.060 --> 00:36:53.120
 I have

00:36:53.120 --> 00:36:53.940
 overcome

00:36:53.940 --> 00:36:54.820
 the

00:36:54.820 --> 00:36:55.280
 world

00:36:55.280 --> 00:36:55.560
 you know

00:36:55.560 --> 00:36:55.920
 wouldn't

00:36:55.920 --> 00:36:57.140
 you think

00:36:57.140 --> 00:36:58.080
 that this

00:36:58.080 --> 00:36:59.060
 would distress

00:36:59.060 --> 00:36:59.740
 the disciples

00:36:59.740 --> 00:37:00.320
 even more

00:37:00.320 --> 00:37:02.320
 he says

00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:02.760
 I've

00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:03.160
 said these

00:37:03.160 --> 00:37:03.560
 things to

00:37:03.560 --> 00:37:03.800
 you that

00:37:03.800 --> 00:37:04.180
 you might

00:37:04.180 --> 00:37:04.580
 have

00:37:04.579 --> 00:37:05.279
 peace

00:37:05.279 --> 00:37:05.639
 what does

00:37:05.639 --> 00:37:05.940
 he just

00:37:05.940 --> 00:37:06.219
 say

00:37:06.219 --> 00:37:06.519
 that you

00:37:06.519 --> 00:37:06.840
 will all

00:37:06.840 --> 00:37:07.340
 leave me

00:37:07.340 --> 00:37:07.719
 alone

00:37:07.719 --> 00:37:09.360
 I'm about

00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:09.860
 to die

00:37:09.860 --> 00:37:10.119
 and you're

00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:10.480
 going to be

00:37:10.480 --> 00:37:11.059
 going to be

00:37:11.059 --> 00:37:11.559
 scattered

00:37:11.559 --> 00:37:12.000
 to hear that

00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:12.319
 they're all

00:37:12.319 --> 00:37:12.679
 going to

00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:13.360
 fall away

00:37:13.360 --> 00:37:13.639
 and yet

00:37:13.639 --> 00:37:14.299
 Jesus says

00:37:14.299 --> 00:37:15.179
 I tell

00:37:15.179 --> 00:37:15.599
 you this

00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:15.920
 that you

00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:16.539
 might have

00:37:16.539 --> 00:37:17.380
 peace

00:37:17.380 --> 00:37:17.840
 why

00:37:17.840 --> 00:37:20.599
 it's peace

00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:21.279
 that comes

00:37:21.279 --> 00:37:21.960
 not from

00:37:21.960 --> 00:37:22.860
 their

00:37:22.860 --> 00:37:23.460
 righteousness

00:37:23.460 --> 00:37:25.440
 not from

00:37:25.440 --> 00:37:26.099
 their goodness

00:37:26.099 --> 00:37:26.639
 not from

00:37:26.639 --> 00:37:27.739
 their faithfulness

00:37:27.739 --> 00:37:28.139
 not from

00:37:28.139 --> 00:37:29.059
 their victory

00:37:29.059 --> 00:37:30.679
 but because

00:37:30.679 --> 00:37:31.360
 Jesus

00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:32.759
 has overcome

00:37:32.759 --> 00:37:33.920
 the world

00:37:33.920 --> 00:37:35.500
 he says

00:37:35.500 --> 00:37:35.860
 in this

00:37:35.860 --> 00:37:36.119
 world

00:37:36.119 --> 00:37:36.500
 you will

00:37:36.500 --> 00:37:36.760
 have

00:37:36.760 --> 00:37:37.119
 trouble

00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:37.659
 and probably

00:37:37.659 --> 00:37:37.980
 a lot

00:37:37.980 --> 00:37:38.119
 of it

00:37:38.119 --> 00:37:38.260
 is going

00:37:38.260 --> 00:37:38.480
 to come

00:37:38.480 --> 00:37:38.639
 from

00:37:38.639 --> 00:37:38.880
 you

00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:40.940
 but take

00:37:40.940 --> 00:37:41.320
 heart

00:37:41.320 --> 00:37:42.139
 believer

00:37:42.139 --> 00:37:43.860
 take

00:37:43.860 --> 00:37:44.280
 heart

00:37:44.280 --> 00:37:45.380
 unfaithful

 heart

00:37:47.019 --> 00:37:47.440
 sinner

00:37:47.440 --> 00:37:48.019
 struggling

00:37:48.019 --> 00:37:48.579
 again

00:37:48.579 --> 00:37:49.619
 and again

00:37:49.619 --> 00:37:50.639
 and again

00:37:50.639 --> 00:37:51.539
 and again

00:37:53.500 --> 00:37:54.360
 in me

00:37:54.360 --> 00:37:54.680
 because

00:37:54.680 --> 00:37:55.400
 I

00:37:55.400 --> 00:37:55.900
 have

00:37:55.900 --> 00:37:56.380
 overcome

00:37:56.380 --> 00:37:57.599
 the world

00:37:57.599 --> 00:37:58.360
 so you

00:37:58.360 --> 00:37:59.119
 in me

00:37:59.119 --> 00:37:59.800
 can be

00:37:59.800 --> 00:38:00.240
 at

00:38:00.240 --> 00:38:01.139
 peace

00:38:01.139 --> 00:38:03.599
 I

00:38:03.599 --> 00:38:03.839
 love

00:38:03.839 --> 00:38:04.239
 the quote

00:38:04.239 --> 00:38:05.839
 from Dodd

00:38:05.839 --> 00:38:06.339
 who says

00:38:06.339 --> 00:38:07.519
 it is part

00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:07.799
 of the

00:38:07.799 --> 00:38:08.259
 character

00:38:08.259 --> 00:38:09.039
 and genius

00:38:09.039 --> 00:38:09.480
 of the

00:38:09.480 --> 00:38:09.940
 church

00:38:09.940 --> 00:38:10.579
 that its

00:38:10.579 --> 00:38:11.179
 foundation

00:38:11.179 --> 00:38:11.779
 members

00:38:11.779 --> 00:38:12.019
 were

00:38:12.019 --> 00:38:12.759
 discredited

00:38:12.759 --> 00:38:13.179
 men

00:38:13.179 --> 00:38:15.159
 it owes

00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:16.139
 its existence

00:38:16.139 --> 00:38:16.659
 not to

00:38:16.659 --> 00:38:17.639
 their faith

00:38:17.639 --> 00:38:18.960
 their courage

00:38:18.960 --> 00:38:19.480
 or their

00:38:19.480 --> 00:38:19.879
 virtue

00:38:19.879 --> 00:38:20.460
 but to

00:38:20.460 --> 00:38:21.259
 what Christ

00:38:21.259 --> 00:38:21.940
 had done

00:38:21.940 --> 00:38:22.559
 with them

00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:23.279
 and this

00:38:23.279 --> 00:38:24.039
 they could

00:38:24.039 --> 00:38:24.480
 never

00:38:24.480 --> 00:38:25.440
 forget

00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:27.460
 see the

00:38:27.460 --> 00:38:27.879
 good news

00:38:27.879 --> 00:38:28.179
 of the

00:38:28.179 --> 00:38:28.579
 gospel

00:38:28.579 --> 00:38:28.920
 is that

00:38:28.920 --> 00:38:29.400
 the peace

00:38:29.400 --> 00:38:29.900
 that we're

00:38:29.900 --> 00:38:30.259
 offered

00:38:30.260 --> 00:38:30.640
 again

00:38:30.640 --> 00:38:31.080
 it's not

00:38:31.080 --> 00:38:31.960
 based on

00:38:31.960 --> 00:38:32.500
 our

00:38:32.500 --> 00:38:33.080
 goodness

00:38:33.080 --> 00:38:33.860
 but on

00:38:33.860 --> 00:38:34.160
 his

00:38:34.160 --> 00:38:35.460
 it's not

00:38:35.460 --> 00:38:35.860
 based on

00:38:35.860 --> 00:38:36.240
 our

00:38:36.240 --> 00:38:36.980
 righteousness

00:38:36.980 --> 00:38:37.880
 but on

00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:38.640
 his

00:38:38.640 --> 00:38:38.980
 it's not

00:38:38.980 --> 00:38:39.360
 based on

00:38:39.360 --> 00:38:39.740
 our

00:38:39.740 --> 00:38:40.880
 faithfulness

00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:41.860
 but on

00:38:41.860 --> 00:38:42.200
 his

00:38:42.200 --> 00:38:42.520
 it's not

00:38:42.520 --> 00:38:42.940
 based on

00:38:42.940 --> 00:38:43.320
 our

00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:43.880
 victory

00:38:43.880 --> 00:38:45.220
 but on

00:38:45.220 --> 00:38:45.720
 his

00:38:45.720 --> 00:38:46.660
 that's

00:38:46.660 --> 00:38:47.360
 the source

00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:48.020
 of a

00:38:48.020 --> 00:38:48.700
 believer's

00:38:48.700 --> 00:38:49.620
 peace

00:38:49.620 --> 00:38:51.940
 Christian

00:38:51.940 --> 00:38:54.940
 I wonder

00:38:54.940 --> 00:38:55.440
 what sort

00:38:55.440 --> 00:38:55.740
 of

00:38:55.740 --> 00:38:57.060
 trouble

00:38:57.060 --> 00:38:57.400
 you're

00:38:57.400 --> 00:38:57.660
 walking

00:38:57.660 --> 00:38:57.920
 through

00:38:57.920 --> 00:38:58.460
 right now

00:38:58.460 --> 00:39:01.059
 what sort

00:39:01.059 --> 00:39:01.179
 of

00:39:01.179 --> 00:39:01.820
 tribulation

00:39:01.820 --> 00:39:02.980
 you're

00:39:02.980 --> 00:39:03.280
 walking

00:39:03.280 --> 00:39:03.559
 through

00:39:03.559 --> 00:39:03.860
 in your

00:39:03.860 --> 00:39:04.220
 life

00:39:04.220 --> 00:39:05.019
 this

00:39:05.019 --> 00:39:05.340
 moment

00:39:05.340 --> 00:39:05.480
 I

00:39:05.480 --> 00:39:05.619
 don't

00:39:05.619 --> 00:39:05.820
 know

00:39:05.820 --> 00:39:07.480
 I

00:39:07.480 --> 00:39:07.720
 wonder

00:39:07.720 --> 00:39:08.360
 what sort

00:39:08.360 --> 00:39:08.480
 of

00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:09.240
 right

00:39:09.240 --> 00:39:09.500

00:39:09.500 --> 00:39:09.639
 the

00:39:09.639 --> 00:39:09.940
 corner

00:39:09.940 --> 00:39:11.159
 God

00:39:11.159 --> 00:39:11.420
 only

00:39:11.420 --> 00:39:11.880
 knows

00:39:11.880 --> 00:39:13.599
 I

00:39:13.599 --> 00:39:13.900
 want

00:39:13.900 --> 00:39:14.320
 to

00:39:14.320 --> 00:39:14.699
 encourage

 your

00:39:18.679 --> 00:39:19.320

00:39:27.860 --> 00:39:28.199
 is

00:39:28.199 --> 00:39:28.460
 not

00:39:28.460 --> 00:39:28.559
 in

00:39:28.559 --> 00:39:28.679
 the

 purchased

00:39:34.780 --> 00:39:35.420
 for you

 had

00:40:07.759 --> 00:40:08.179
 before

00:40:08.179 --> 00:40:08.379
 the

00:40:08.379 --> 00:40:08.639
 ages

00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:09.159
 began

00:40:09.159 --> 00:40:09.819
 but

00:40:09.819 --> 00:40:10.279
 here

00:40:10.279 --> 00:40:11.219
 Jesus

00:40:11.219 --> 00:40:11.739
 as

00:40:11.739 --> 00:40:12.759
 man

00:40:12.759 --> 00:40:14.139
 shows

00:40:14.139 --> 00:40:14.500
 us

00:40:14.500 --> 00:40:14.819
 what it

00:40:14.819 --> 00:40:15.179
 means

00:40:15.179 --> 00:40:15.539
 to be

00:40:15.539 --> 00:40:16.219
 completely

00:40:16.219 --> 00:40:17.159
 satisfied

00:40:17.159 --> 00:40:17.659
 in

00:40:17.659 --> 00:40:18.039
 God

00:40:18.039 --> 00:40:18.420
 alone

00:40:18.420 --> 00:40:18.699
 in the

00:40:18.699 --> 00:40:19.000
 face

00:40:19.000 --> 00:40:19.219
 of

00:40:19.219 --> 00:40:20.420
 unthinkable

00:40:20.420 --> 00:40:20.940
 suffering

00:40:20.940 --> 00:40:22.920
 all

00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:23.239
 his

00:40:23.239 --> 00:40:23.739
 disciples

00:40:23.739 --> 00:40:24.500
 scattered

00:40:24.500 --> 00:40:24.939
 betrayed

00:40:24.939 --> 00:40:25.319
 with a

00:40:25.319 --> 00:40:25.579
 kiss

00:40:25.579 --> 00:40:26.039
 denied

00:40:26.039 --> 00:40:26.639
 three

00:40:26.639 --> 00:40:27.119
 times

00:40:27.119 --> 00:40:27.439
 nothing

00:40:27.439 --> 00:40:27.619
 but

00:40:27.619 --> 00:40:27.899
 trouble

00:40:27.899 --> 00:40:28.219
 lies

00:40:28.219 --> 00:40:28.500
 ahead

00:40:28.500 --> 00:40:28.619
 of

00:40:28.619 --> 00:40:28.759
 this

00:40:28.759 --> 00:40:29.079
 moment

00:40:29.079 --> 00:40:30.399
 but

00:40:30.399 --> 00:40:30.659
 Jesus

00:40:30.659 --> 00:40:31.319
 says

00:40:31.319 --> 00:40:31.659
 I

00:40:31.659 --> 00:40:31.899
 am

00:40:31.899 --> 00:40:32.279
 not

00:40:32.279 --> 00:40:33.179
 alone

00:40:33.179 --> 00:40:34.479
 and

00:40:34.479 --> 00:40:34.619
 the

00:40:34.619 --> 00:40:34.919
 father

00:40:34.919 --> 00:40:35.159
 is

00:40:35.159 --> 00:40:35.359
 with

00:40:35.359 --> 00:40:35.959
 me

00:40:35.959 --> 00:40:37.339
 and

00:40:37.339 --> 00:40:37.519
 church

00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:37.679
 what

00:40:37.679 --> 00:40:37.899
 about

00:40:37.899 --> 00:40:38.259
 us

00:40:38.259 --> 00:40:40.059
 I

00:40:40.059 --> 00:40:40.219
 wonder

00:40:40.219 --> 00:40:40.439
 where

00:40:40.439 --> 00:40:40.679
 you

00:40:40.679 --> 00:40:41.099
 turn

00:40:41.099 --> 00:40:41.319
 for

00:40:41.319 --> 00:40:41.779
 peace

00:40:41.779 --> 00:40:42.639
 when

00:40:42.639 --> 00:40:42.779
 you're

00:40:42.779 --> 00:40:43.079
 lonely

 what's

00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:45.679

 you're

00:40:47.119 --> 00:40:47.939
 sorrowful

00:40:47.939 --> 00:40:48.399
 when

 you feel

00:40:48.919 --> 00:40:49.879
 abandoned

00:40:49.879 --> 00:40:50.259
 when

00:40:50.259 --> 00:40:51.379
 your life

00:40:51.379 --> 00:40:51.759
 is full

00:40:51.759 --> 00:40:52.299
 of trials

00:40:52.299 --> 00:40:52.479
 and
