00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.219
 When I was about 15 in high school, so I'd been a Christian for about a year,

00:00:05.339 --> 00:00:09.320
 I had the chance to be trained in sharing the good news of Jesus.

00:00:09.939 --> 00:00:16.879
 I was trained to do a spiel, can't even have a better word,

00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:19.960
 and a hundred point outline of the gospel.

00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:24.780
 There was a hundred different stories, memory verses, illustrations,

00:00:25.300 --> 00:00:26.480
 points to go through.

00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:32.579
 And the point was I could articulate start to finish somebody who needed to meet Jesus

00:00:32.579 --> 00:00:34.539
 to would you like to become a Christian.

00:00:34.700 --> 00:00:38.340
 Now, as a side point, I'm not sure you need an a hundred point presentation.

00:00:38.620 --> 00:00:43.140
 I think we can maybe do it with a few less, but it was the one that I learned anyway as a 15 year old,

00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:43.880
 and it was a good one.

00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:49.840
 But this presentation would always begin with two what we call diagnostic questions.

00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:53.280
 Questions that were supposed to help you figure out where the person was

00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:57.420
 in terms of what they knew about God, what they were trusting in, that sort of thing.

00:00:58.140 --> 00:00:59.460
 The first question was,

00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:05.140
 if you were to die tonight, are you certain you would go to heaven?

00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:09.640
 And the second, it's quite morbid in hindsight,

00:01:09.900 --> 00:01:11.980
 suppose you did die tonight,

00:01:12.579 --> 00:01:15.319
 and you appeared before God, and he asked you,

00:01:15.540 --> 00:01:17.079
 why should I let you into my heaven?

00:01:17.819 --> 00:01:18.640
 What would you say?

00:01:19.260 --> 00:01:21.560
 I remember as a teenager finding those questions really heavy,

00:01:21.659 --> 00:01:23.200
 and so to try and lighten the mood,

00:01:23.259 --> 00:01:25.000
 you would improv a little bit in the second question,

00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.000
 and I'd be like, you know, suppose you did die tonight,

00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:28.920
 you know, you got hit by a bus, or something like that,

00:01:29.060 --> 00:01:31.159
 which didn't really lighten it, but that was my attempt to go,

00:01:31.259 --> 00:01:33.759
 I'm actually asking you a really, really serious question here

00:01:33.759 --> 00:01:36.539
 about life and death, something that really matters.

00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:39.159
 And on one level, these questions are really quite simple,

00:01:40.039 --> 00:01:42.439
 but at the same time, they're quite profound.

00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:47.599
 And I wonder for you, if I was to ask you those questions,

00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:49.920
 not in front of everyone, not with everyone eavesdropping,

00:01:50.019 --> 00:01:52.379
 but just we were to have a chat, and I was to ask you those questions,

00:01:52.819 --> 00:01:54.379
 what would your answer be?

00:01:56.340 --> 00:01:59.519
 If I was to ask you, if you were to die tonight,

00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:03.579
 how certain are you that you would go to heaven?

00:02:06.420 --> 00:02:10.560
 And if you did rock up at the gates to heaven,

00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:13.379
 and God's there, and he says, why should I let you in?

00:02:13.420 --> 00:02:14.580
 What would your response be?

00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:19.900
 See, these questions reveal a whole lot

00:02:19.900 --> 00:02:22.379
 about what it is that we're trusting in.

00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:25.400
 The things that we would hand over to God

00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:27.300
 as the basis for letting us into heaven,

00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:32.159
 but also, just how confident we are

00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:33.780
 that those things are actually going to deliver.

00:02:35.640 --> 00:02:37.840
 Just how much we actually believe these things

00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:40.420
 that we would present to God would be a convincing resume.

00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:44.099
 These questions show us not just if we're confident,

00:02:44.379 --> 00:02:45.659
 but what we're trusting in,

00:02:45.740 --> 00:02:47.039
 and whether or not, deep down,

00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:50.439
 we actually know that those things can come through for us.

00:02:50.860 --> 00:02:53.560
 Now, the most interesting thing for me in this whole process was,

00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:56.180
 when I couldn't find somebody to share the gospel with,

00:02:56.379 --> 00:02:59.340
 to help me practice my 100 points that I had to memorize,

00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:02.000
 I would make my friends sit down with me

00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:03.900
 so that I could go through my big presentation.

00:03:03.900 --> 00:03:06.620
 And it was always interesting to me

00:03:06.620 --> 00:03:09.840
 to hear what my friends who went to church with me

00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:12.819
 would say when asked those two questions.

00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:14.640
 It wasn't always the same.

00:03:15.379 --> 00:03:18.439
 On one end, you had the people who were certain

00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:19.719
 that they were going to heaven,

00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:23.099
 but were trusting in flimsy things.

00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:25.340
 They were certain they were going to get into heaven,

00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:27.580
 but they were trusting in how much better they were

00:03:27.580 --> 00:03:29.159
 than most people in the world.

00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:32.699
 Or they were trusting in the fact that they'd been baptized once.

00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:34.879
 Or they were trusting in the fact that

00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.199
 their parents worked at the church.

00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.539
 Down the other end, you had those who were uncertain,

00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:43.460
 really wanted to go to heaven,

00:03:43.579 --> 00:03:45.139
 but couldn't say certain,

00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:48.800
 but were trusting in the unbreakable promises of God

00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:49.479
 to get them there.

00:03:50.060 --> 00:03:52.639
 And then you had everything in between on the spectrum.

00:03:53.340 --> 00:03:56.259
 Now, the point being that not everyone

00:03:56.259 --> 00:04:00.219
 who wants certainty when it comes to heaven,

00:04:00.419 --> 00:04:02.979
 not everyone who wants that kind of guarantee,

00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.679
 wants to be able to answer with an emphatic yes

00:04:05.679 --> 00:04:06.919
 to that first question,

00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:10.340
 actually gets it.

00:04:14.379 --> 00:04:16.860
 And in reality, some of the people who say

00:04:16.860 --> 00:04:19.500
 that they're certain probably shouldn't be.

00:04:20.980 --> 00:04:23.920
 Even though God's word promises peace

00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:25.259
 that passes understanding,

00:04:25.259 --> 00:04:28.300
 even though God's word speaks of an immovable hope,

00:04:28.860 --> 00:04:30.300
 in the passage just read out for us,

00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:32.519
 in Hebrews 10, it talks about confidence

00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:35.019
 to enter the most holy place.

00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:40.259
 Sometimes it's easier to talk about confidence,

00:04:41.259 --> 00:04:42.920
 to talk about certainty,

00:04:43.420 --> 00:04:45.000
 than it is to know it,

00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:46.659
 to feel it,

00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:48.060
 to believe it.

00:04:50.860 --> 00:04:53.000
 Martin Luther, who was one of the key figures

00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:55.199
 in the Reformation 500 years ago,

00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.540
 was a man who was acutely aware of God's holiness

00:04:58.540 --> 00:05:01.579
 in stark contrast to his own sin.

00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:04.459
 It's said that having become a monk,

00:05:04.860 --> 00:05:07.439
 he would often hog his confession opportunities

00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:09.680
 and would stay in the confessional booth

00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:11.540
 for up to six hours at a time

00:05:11.540 --> 00:05:14.740
 to just recount as many of his sins

00:05:14.740 --> 00:05:16.660
 as he could possibly remember.

00:05:16.660 --> 00:05:20.700
 He was a man who was soaking in God's word,

00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:21.980
 he was studying it,

00:05:22.080 --> 00:05:23.360
 he was meditating on it,

00:05:23.420 --> 00:05:25.700
 and yet he was somebody who lived his life

00:05:25.700 --> 00:05:29.660
 crushed by the weight of his own sin

00:05:29.660 --> 00:05:31.220
 and guilt and failure.

00:05:32.900 --> 00:05:35.500
 He knew that God demanded perfection

00:05:35.500 --> 00:05:40.040
 and it was that unattainable goal

00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:43.980
 that cast a shadow over his life.

00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.220
 And even having dedicated his life

00:05:47.220 --> 00:05:47.939
 to being a monk,

00:05:48.220 --> 00:05:49.339
 to serving God,

00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:52.740
 the security he so desperately wanted

00:05:52.740 --> 00:05:54.720
 continued to elude him.

00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:56.759
 And he's not alone.

00:05:59.860 --> 00:06:01.199
 Maybe that's how you feel.

00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:05.860
 Maybe you're doing lots of things

00:06:05.860 --> 00:06:07.599
 to serve God.

00:06:08.019 --> 00:06:09.979
 Maybe you're trying very hard

00:06:09.979 --> 00:06:11.779
 to be the person that you know

00:06:11.779 --> 00:06:12.740
 he wants you to be

00:06:12.740 --> 00:06:15.259
 because you desperately want to know

00:06:15.259 --> 00:06:16.819
 for certain that when you die

00:06:16.819 --> 00:06:18.279
 you will get to go to heaven.

00:06:18.659 --> 00:06:20.800
 But it feels like the harder you try,

00:06:21.599 --> 00:06:23.659
 the less certain you feel.

00:06:26.159 --> 00:06:28.259
 Last week, Steve mentioned briefly

00:06:28.259 --> 00:06:31.180
 about the sale of indulgences.

00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:34.740
 These were effectively papal pardons

00:06:34.740 --> 00:06:36.099
 for sin.

00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:38.639
 That is, the Pope would give these things out

00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:40.740
 as a kind of pardon

00:06:40.740 --> 00:06:42.180
 for the sin that you had done.

00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:43.539
 And in the time of the Reformation,

00:06:43.699 --> 00:06:46.120
 these had begun to be sold for money

00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.000
 as a fundraiser for building projects

00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:49.980
 and stuff like that.

00:06:50.719 --> 00:06:52.279
 Effective for building projects

00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:53.439
 but probably not really helpful

00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:54.279
 for everyone else.

00:06:55.779 --> 00:06:57.079
 These indulgences were then

00:06:57.079 --> 00:06:58.860
 subcontracted out to priests

00:06:58.860 --> 00:06:59.899
 who would travel around

00:06:59.899 --> 00:07:01.299
 and give people the chance

00:07:01.299 --> 00:07:03.060
 to confess sin

00:07:03.060 --> 00:07:06.199
 and then essentially buy forgiveness.

00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:08.899
 That's how the system worked.

00:07:09.060 --> 00:07:10.519
 Now, a really key reason

00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:11.599
 that something as ridiculous

00:07:11.599 --> 00:07:12.659
 as that happened

00:07:12.659 --> 00:07:14.679
 was what we looked at last week.

00:07:15.039 --> 00:07:16.099
 That really the priests

00:07:16.099 --> 00:07:17.019
 were the only ones

00:07:17.019 --> 00:07:18.179
 who had access to the Bible.

00:07:18.419 --> 00:07:20.219
 Unless you had been through university

00:07:20.219 --> 00:07:21.039
 and studied Latin,

00:07:21.159 --> 00:07:22.139
 you had no idea

00:07:22.139 --> 00:07:23.459
 what God said in his word

00:07:23.459 --> 00:07:24.560
 and so who were you to argue?

00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:26.879
 You just took their word for it.

00:07:26.899 --> 00:07:27.539
 All you knew

00:07:27.539 --> 00:07:29.319
 is that you were sinful,

00:07:29.859 --> 00:07:30.719
 God was holy,

00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:32.019
 God was just

00:07:32.019 --> 00:07:33.359
 and you needed help.

00:07:34.819 --> 00:07:36.219
 But there's a second

00:07:36.219 --> 00:07:38.279
 really important reason

00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:40.439
 that this all happened.

00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:42.620
 There's a second reason

00:07:42.620 --> 00:07:43.620
 that we need to grasp

00:07:43.620 --> 00:07:45.240
 as we reflect on the Reformation

00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:46.399
 500 years later.

00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:49.319
 See, the problem

00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:51.139
 that required the Reformation,

00:07:51.459 --> 00:07:53.259
 the thing that needed change,

00:07:53.599 --> 00:07:56.219
 wasn't the Catholic Church itself.

00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:59.339
 Now, it was the context for it.

00:07:59.799 --> 00:08:00.639
 It was the place

00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:01.319
 where the issue

00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:03.099
 got institutionalized,

00:08:03.159 --> 00:08:04.639
 but it wasn't the problem itself.

00:08:05.939 --> 00:08:07.519
 The core problem

00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:09.719
 was sinful people.

00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:13.039
 And I'm not even talking

00:08:13.039 --> 00:08:14.219
 about the active sin

00:08:14.219 --> 00:08:14.859
 of the fact that

00:08:14.860 --> 00:08:15.939
 they were trying, you know,

00:08:16.020 --> 00:08:17.819
 to pervert the truth of God

00:08:17.819 --> 00:08:18.740
 and take advantage

00:08:18.740 --> 00:08:19.960
 of insecure people.

00:08:20.420 --> 00:08:21.600
 Although that's true

00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:22.840
 and that was there.

00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:26.040
 See, the problem then

00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:27.199
 wasn't that they didn't know

00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:27.860
 they were sinful.

00:08:28.060 --> 00:08:28.780
 Of course they did.

00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:30.680
 That's what made people insecure.

00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:34.419
 The problem

00:08:34.419 --> 00:08:36.740
 was that they didn't understand

00:08:36.740 --> 00:08:38.240
 just how fundamental

00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:39.500
 their sin was.

00:08:40.779 --> 00:08:42.139
 They didn't understand

00:08:42.139 --> 00:08:44.480
 how inherent their sin was,

00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:45.860
 how deeply inside

00:08:45.860 --> 00:08:46.759
 of a person

00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:48.139
 sin exists.

00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:50.259
 And so the solutions

00:08:50.259 --> 00:08:51.240
 they would come up with,

00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:52.139
 the security

00:08:52.139 --> 00:08:53.200
 they would reach out for

00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:54.879
 was only of a surface level,

00:08:55.680 --> 00:08:56.899
 only of a superficial.

00:08:57.440 --> 00:08:59.000
 And the surface level solution

00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:00.000
 that the Catholic Church

00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:00.759
 came up with

00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:02.080
 was a thing called

00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:03.019
 penance.

00:09:03.860 --> 00:09:05.360
 Penance had three steps.

00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:06.500
 You confess,

00:09:07.060 --> 00:09:08.220
 you show contrition,

00:09:08.220 --> 00:09:10.320
 and then you do satisfaction.

00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:10.920
 So,

00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:12.720
 you steal some bread.

00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:15.040
 You confess to the priest

00:09:15.040 --> 00:09:16.160
 that you stole some bread.

00:09:16.920 --> 00:09:17.820
 You be contrite.

00:09:18.140 --> 00:09:18.500
 That is,

00:09:18.580 --> 00:09:19.860
 you actually mean

00:09:19.860 --> 00:09:21.400
 your sorry confession

00:09:21.400 --> 00:09:22.440
 and you plan

00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:23.240
 to not do it again.

00:09:23.640 --> 00:09:24.140
 And then,

00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:25.280
 you do some satisfaction,

00:09:25.460 --> 00:09:26.200
 which basically means

00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:27.280
 you give some money

00:09:27.280 --> 00:09:27.940
 to the poor,

00:09:28.100 --> 00:09:28.860
 you spend some time

00:09:28.860 --> 00:09:29.740
 in prayer and fasting,

00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:31.040
 you make a trip to Rome,

00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:31.840
 a bit of a pilgrimage,

00:09:32.300 --> 00:09:33.320
 something like that.

00:09:33.860 --> 00:09:34.300
 Essentially,

00:09:34.800 --> 00:09:36.000
 your ledger with God

00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:36.680
 is in the negative,

00:09:37.660 --> 00:09:38.820
 so do some good stuff

00:09:38.820 --> 00:09:39.520
 to get you back

00:09:39.520 --> 00:09:40.100
 in the positive.

00:09:41.140 --> 00:09:42.140
 That was the answer.

00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:43.240
 And there's some logic

00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:44.040
 to this system.

00:09:44.800 --> 00:09:45.540
 There's even some

00:09:45.540 --> 00:09:46.340
 rightness in it.

00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:46.760
 I mean,

00:09:46.860 --> 00:09:49.400
 confession is a good gift

00:09:49.400 --> 00:09:50.020
 from God.

00:09:50.760 --> 00:09:51.980
 You don't need a priest,

00:09:52.760 --> 00:09:53.980
 but confession itself

00:09:53.980 --> 00:09:54.860
 is a good thing

00:09:54.860 --> 00:09:56.200
 because it reflects

00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:57.640
 that we're understanding

00:09:57.640 --> 00:09:59.140
 sin is actually serious.

00:09:59.940 --> 00:10:00.580
 You've actually got to

00:10:00.580 --> 00:10:01.760
 do something with sin.

00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:02.660
 It needs to be dealt with.

00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:03.480
 Contrition,

00:10:03.640 --> 00:10:04.240
 of course.

00:10:04.860 --> 00:10:05.840
 You've got to be genuine

00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:06.880
 when you confess.

00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:08.060
 You can't just say the words

00:10:08.060 --> 00:10:08.760
 and not mean it.

00:10:08.980 --> 00:10:09.860
 We want to be genuine

00:10:09.860 --> 00:10:10.940
 in seeking God's forgiveness.

00:10:11.140 --> 00:10:12.080
 And even the idea

00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:13.060
 of satisfaction,

00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:14.800
 that third bit,

00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:16.220
 the idea that having

00:10:16.220 --> 00:10:17.360
 done something wrong

00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:18.220
 towards God,

00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:18.940
 there should be

00:10:18.940 --> 00:10:19.780
 some payment

00:10:19.780 --> 00:10:22.020
 or some restitution,

00:10:22.900 --> 00:10:23.940
 makes sense.

00:10:26.340 --> 00:10:27.760
 But when the payment

00:10:27.760 --> 00:10:28.760
 that you owe God

00:10:28.760 --> 00:10:29.400
 for sin

00:10:29.400 --> 00:10:30.500
 is something trivial

00:10:30.500 --> 00:10:31.720
 like money,

00:10:32.920 --> 00:10:34.480
 or something temporary

00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:36.220
 like a few hours fasting,

00:10:36.220 --> 00:10:38.680
 or a trip to St. Peter's

00:10:38.680 --> 00:10:39.100
 in Rome,

00:10:39.899 --> 00:10:41.460
 all it shows

00:10:41.460 --> 00:10:41.940
 is that

00:10:41.940 --> 00:10:43.480
 we haven't really

00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:44.360
 understood sin

00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:44.820
 at all.

00:10:46.820 --> 00:10:47.639
 We haven't actually

00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:48.060
 understood

00:10:48.060 --> 00:10:49.300
 how big an issue

00:10:49.300 --> 00:10:49.639
 it is,

00:10:49.700 --> 00:10:50.740
 how close to us

00:10:50.740 --> 00:10:51.120
 it is.

00:10:51.259 --> 00:10:52.259
 It's just a thing

00:10:52.259 --> 00:10:53.080
 that's been done

00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:53.680
 and so it's a

00:10:53.680 --> 00:10:54.940
 good thing

00:10:54.940 --> 00:10:55.600
 that can be done

00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:56.540
 to balance it out.

00:10:57.820 --> 00:10:58.639
 It's just a

00:10:58.639 --> 00:10:59.820
 superficial solution.

00:10:59.820 --> 00:11:00.900
 And the result

00:11:00.900 --> 00:11:01.620
 back then

00:11:01.620 --> 00:11:03.280
 was a church

00:11:03.280 --> 00:11:03.780
 full of

00:11:03.780 --> 00:11:05.120
 petrified people.

00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:07.740
 People who are aware

00:11:07.740 --> 00:11:08.580
 that they were sinful,

00:11:09.300 --> 00:11:10.280
 they knew that,

00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:11.760
 but they are imprisoned

00:11:11.760 --> 00:11:13.220
 by these temporary,

00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:14.520
 ritualistic,

00:11:14.760 --> 00:11:15.640
 resource-based

00:11:15.640 --> 00:11:16.260
 solutions.

00:11:17.860 --> 00:11:18.520
 Their forgiveness

00:11:18.520 --> 00:11:19.560
 at any given moment,

00:11:19.660 --> 00:11:20.580
 their security

00:11:20.580 --> 00:11:21.300
 to say,

00:11:21.379 --> 00:11:22.020
 I'm certain

00:11:22.020 --> 00:11:22.560
 I'm going to be

00:11:22.560 --> 00:11:23.000
 in heaven,

00:11:23.780 --> 00:11:25.000
 was only ever

00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:25.720
 partial.

00:11:27.300 --> 00:11:28.200
 And in some cases

00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:28.720
 it was limited

00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:29.200
 to how much

00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:30.040
 money they had

00:11:30.040 --> 00:11:32.020
 to buy that

00:11:32.020 --> 00:11:32.480
 forgiveness.

00:11:34.680 --> 00:11:35.780
 And so the answer

00:11:35.780 --> 00:11:36.360
 for the average

00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:37.180
 churchgoer

00:11:37.180 --> 00:11:38.580
 back then

00:11:38.580 --> 00:11:39.400
 to that second

00:11:39.400 --> 00:11:40.560
 diagnostic question

00:11:40.560 --> 00:11:41.080
 would have been

00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:42.060
 about how many

00:11:42.060 --> 00:11:43.320
 indulgences they had,

00:11:44.180 --> 00:11:45.240
 how many trips

00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:46.340
 to Rome they'd made,

00:11:46.560 --> 00:11:47.420
 how much money

00:11:47.420 --> 00:11:47.840
 they'd given

00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:48.520
 to the poor,

00:11:49.220 --> 00:11:50.240
 how many times

00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:50.780
 a week they were

00:11:50.780 --> 00:11:51.860
 fasting and praying,

00:11:52.620 --> 00:11:54.920
 which was such

00:11:54.920 --> 00:11:56.379
 an inadequate answer.

00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:57.700
 Even the church

00:11:57.700 --> 00:11:58.080
 knew it was

00:11:58.080 --> 00:11:58.680
 an inadequate answer,

00:11:58.759 --> 00:11:59.440
 they invented

00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:00.500
 a theology

00:12:00.500 --> 00:12:01.360
 of purgatory.

00:12:03.560 --> 00:12:04.040
 Purgatory

00:12:04.040 --> 00:12:05.480
 essentially exists

00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:07.040
 as the place,

00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:08.180
 they believe,

00:12:08.460 --> 00:12:09.400
 the place between

00:12:09.400 --> 00:12:10.440
 this life and heaven

00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:11.420
 where you settle

00:12:11.420 --> 00:12:12.000
 the accounts

00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:12.520
 that you didn't

00:12:12.520 --> 00:12:13.080
 have a chance

00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:13.500
 to settle

00:12:13.500 --> 00:12:14.240
 in this life.

00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:15.320
 So it's like,

00:12:15.400 --> 00:12:16.240
 here's our solution.

00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:17.420
 Do good stuff

00:12:17.420 --> 00:12:17.900
 to make up

00:12:17.900 --> 00:12:18.759
 for your bad stuff,

00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:19.480
 but you'll never

00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:19.879
 be able to do

00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:20.660
 enough good stuff,

00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:21.000
 so we're going

00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:21.460
 to invent

00:12:21.460 --> 00:12:22.500
 another space

00:12:22.500 --> 00:12:23.280
 that the Bible

00:12:23.280 --> 00:12:23.980
 doesn't talk about

00:12:23.980 --> 00:12:24.420
 where you can

00:12:24.420 --> 00:12:25.440
 keep doing good stuff.

00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:26.280
 In some cases

00:12:26.280 --> 00:12:26.980
 they thought people

00:12:26.980 --> 00:12:27.280
 were going to be

00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:27.679
 in there for

00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:28.620
 thousands of years

00:12:28.620 --> 00:12:29.319
 trying to catch up

00:12:29.319 --> 00:12:30.299
 for all their bad stuff

00:12:30.299 --> 00:12:31.839
 because their solution

00:12:31.839 --> 00:12:32.860
 was inadequate.

00:12:35.179 --> 00:12:35.620
 See,

00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:36.259
 on one level

00:12:36.259 --> 00:12:37.179
 they knew it

00:12:37.179 --> 00:12:39.699
 and yet

00:12:39.699 --> 00:12:40.839
 this was the cycle,

00:12:40.959 --> 00:12:41.779
 this was the trap,

00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:42.899
 this was the prison

00:12:42.899 --> 00:12:45.199
 that people lived in,

00:12:46.059 --> 00:12:47.299
 a prison of fear.

00:12:47.299 --> 00:12:50.019
 And then,

00:12:50.599 --> 00:12:53.939
 while soaking in God's word,

00:12:55.659 --> 00:12:56.559
 the reformers

00:12:56.559 --> 00:12:58.879
 saw Jesus,

00:13:00.019 --> 00:13:01.319
 saw him for who

00:13:01.319 --> 00:13:02.620
 he really is,

00:13:02.839 --> 00:13:03.539
 saw him for what

00:13:03.539 --> 00:13:04.859
 he had actually done,

00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:05.699
 saw him for what

00:13:05.699 --> 00:13:06.439
 he was doing

00:13:06.439 --> 00:13:07.559
 and is doing

00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:08.139
 even now

00:13:08.139 --> 00:13:08.879
 and it changed

00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:09.599
 everything.

00:13:10.659 --> 00:13:11.359
 Now it's not that

00:13:11.359 --> 00:13:12.319
 the Catholic church

00:13:12.319 --> 00:13:13.039
 back then

00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:13.919
 didn't believe

00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:14.500
 in Jesus,

00:13:14.500 --> 00:13:16.940
 it's just that

00:13:16.940 --> 00:13:17.759
 they weren't seeing

00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:19.080
 him clearly enough.

00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:20.360
 They weren't seeing

00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:20.840
 him the way

00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:22.179
 he's revealed himself

00:13:22.179 --> 00:13:23.320
 in his word.

00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:27.360
 Even now today

00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:28.059
 it feels like

00:13:28.059 --> 00:13:29.039
 when we say

00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:30.299
 we believe in Jesus

00:13:30.299 --> 00:13:31.960
 we need to clarify

00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:32.919
 that because

00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:34.240
 it's almost not enough

00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:35.080
 because lots of people

00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:36.179
 say they believe in Jesus

00:13:36.179 --> 00:13:37.279
 but they don't all

00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:38.100
 mean the same thing.

00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:39.659
 I've had people

00:13:39.659 --> 00:13:40.419
 come to my house

00:13:40.419 --> 00:13:41.279
 and knock on my door,

00:13:41.700 --> 00:13:42.159
 Mormons,

00:13:42.939 --> 00:13:43.120
 you know,

00:13:43.179 --> 00:13:43.719
 white shirts,

00:13:43.839 --> 00:13:44.419
 name tags

00:13:44.419 --> 00:13:45.879
 and they try and convince

00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:46.980
 me they believe in Jesus

00:13:46.980 --> 00:13:48.959
 and I try and explain

00:13:48.959 --> 00:13:49.759
 to them that the Jesus

00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:50.600
 that you believe in

00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:51.319
 is not the Jesus

00:13:51.319 --> 00:13:52.179
 that the Bible talks

00:13:52.179 --> 00:13:53.319
 about who I believe in.

00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:55.079
 Sometimes just to say

00:13:55.079 --> 00:13:55.899
 you believe in Jesus

00:13:55.899 --> 00:13:56.959
 is not enough.

00:13:57.059 --> 00:13:57.740
 If you desire

00:13:57.740 --> 00:13:59.120
 true salvation,

00:14:00.579 --> 00:14:01.339
 if you desire

00:14:01.339 --> 00:14:02.259
 the kind that gives

00:14:02.259 --> 00:14:03.799
 peace and security

00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:05.600
 and purpose

00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:06.459
 and direction

00:14:06.459 --> 00:14:08.139
 then you need to know

00:14:08.139 --> 00:14:08.740
 who Jesus

00:14:08.740 --> 00:14:10.179
 really is.

00:14:10.179 --> 00:14:11.639
 you need to know

00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:13.059
 what the Bible says

00:14:13.059 --> 00:14:14.339
 about Jesus

00:14:14.339 --> 00:14:15.379
 because it all

00:14:15.379 --> 00:14:16.599
 stands or falls

00:14:16.599 --> 00:14:17.159
 on Jesus.

00:14:18.099 --> 00:14:18.579
 Everything.

00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:22.679
 And so we need to look

00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:23.839
 to the ultimate source

00:14:23.839 --> 00:14:24.799
 of authority,

00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:25.779
 the place that Steve

00:14:25.779 --> 00:14:26.779
 took us last week,

00:14:27.079 --> 00:14:27.879
 the place that the

00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:28.559
 Reformers went

00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:29.539
 500 years ago,

00:14:29.620 --> 00:14:30.419
 the place where God

00:14:30.419 --> 00:14:32.279
 promises to speak to us

00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:33.599
 in His Word

00:14:33.599 --> 00:14:34.459
 to us,

00:14:34.699 --> 00:14:35.099
 the Bible.

00:14:36.099 --> 00:14:37.179
 So what does it say?

00:14:37.179 --> 00:14:40.620
 Well, quite a bit.

00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:43.620
 Every page is about Jesus.

00:14:44.279 --> 00:14:45.179
 But let's look at

00:14:45.179 --> 00:14:46.319
 two specific things

00:14:46.319 --> 00:14:47.019
 in this passage

00:14:47.019 --> 00:14:47.939
 from Hebrews 10

00:14:47.939 --> 00:14:48.500
 that the Bible

00:14:48.500 --> 00:14:49.919
 definitely says

00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:50.599
 about Jesus

00:14:50.599 --> 00:14:51.359
 that we need to grab.

00:14:52.319 --> 00:14:53.139
 First one.

00:14:54.959 --> 00:14:56.120
 Jesus does

00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:57.859
 what you can't.

00:14:59.459 --> 00:14:59.879
 So again,

00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:00.959
 Jesus does

00:15:00.959 --> 00:15:02.339
 what you can't.

00:15:03.479 --> 00:15:04.179
 He's perfect.

00:15:04.179 --> 00:15:04.739
 perfect.

00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:08.219
 This has been the issue

00:15:08.219 --> 00:15:09.099
 since Adam and Eve

00:15:09.099 --> 00:15:09.959
 in the Garden of Eden.

00:15:10.719 --> 00:15:11.519
 Since the moment

00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:12.139
 where Adam and Eve

00:15:12.139 --> 00:15:13.279
 decided that they knew

00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:14.000
 better than God

00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:14.479
 and they were going to

00:15:14.479 --> 00:15:15.639
 do things their own way,

00:15:16.579 --> 00:15:18.139
 God is pure

00:15:18.139 --> 00:15:18.939
 and perfect

00:15:18.939 --> 00:15:20.639
 and He demands

00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:21.799
 the same of His people.

00:15:21.959 --> 00:15:22.579
 And so from that

00:15:22.579 --> 00:15:23.500
 point in time,

00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:24.759
 there has been

00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:25.399
 this gap

00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:26.659
 that no one of us

00:15:26.659 --> 00:15:27.459
 has ever been able

00:15:27.459 --> 00:15:27.919
 to bridge.

00:15:28.939 --> 00:15:29.740
 And that gap

00:15:29.740 --> 00:15:30.359
 is essentially

00:15:30.359 --> 00:15:31.099
 perfection.

00:15:31.100 --> 00:15:31.180
 perfection.

00:15:32.460 --> 00:15:33.139
 That's what

00:15:33.139 --> 00:15:34.060
 God requires.

00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:35.060
 That's the standard

00:15:35.060 --> 00:15:35.700
 He expects.

00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:37.279
 That's what He's asking for.

00:15:37.800 --> 00:15:39.000
 So before Jesus came,

00:15:39.100 --> 00:15:40.279
 God provided His law

00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:41.300
 with sacrifices

00:15:41.300 --> 00:15:42.399
 and rituals

00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:43.560
 and there was contrition

00:15:43.560 --> 00:15:44.360
 and there was confession

00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:44.980
 and all those bits

00:15:44.980 --> 00:15:45.580
 were in there.

00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:47.139
 But even that

00:15:47.139 --> 00:15:48.240
 was never going to fix

00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:49.019
 this issue.

00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:50.600
 I mean,

00:15:50.620 --> 00:15:51.080
 have a look at

00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:52.240
 Hebrews 10 verse 1.

00:15:53.100 --> 00:15:54.139
 The law is only

00:15:54.139 --> 00:15:54.680
 a shadow

00:15:54.680 --> 00:15:55.600
 of the good things

00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:56.120
 that are coming,

00:15:56.220 --> 00:15:57.000
 not the realities

00:15:57.000 --> 00:15:57.660
 themselves.

00:15:58.180 --> 00:15:59.220
 For this reason,

00:15:59.220 --> 00:16:01.060
 it can never

00:16:01.060 --> 00:16:03.100
 by the same sacrifices

00:16:03.100 --> 00:16:04.040
 repeated endlessly

00:16:04.040 --> 00:16:05.040
 year after year

00:16:05.040 --> 00:16:06.420
 make perfect

00:16:06.420 --> 00:16:07.540
 those who draw

00:16:07.540 --> 00:16:08.420
 near to worship.

00:16:09.060 --> 00:16:09.840
 Can't do it.

00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:11.639
 Otherwise,

00:16:11.940 --> 00:16:12.440
 would they not have

00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:13.340
 stopped being offered?

00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:14.820
 For the worshippers

00:16:14.820 --> 00:16:15.800
 would have been cleansed

00:16:15.800 --> 00:16:16.680
 once and for all

00:16:16.680 --> 00:16:17.360
 and would no longer

00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:18.160
 have felt guilty

00:16:18.160 --> 00:16:19.100
 for their sins.

00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:20.960
 But those sacrifices

00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:21.759
 are an annual

00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:23.040
 reminder of sins.

00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:25.040
 It is impossible

00:16:25.040 --> 00:16:26.580
 for the blood

00:16:26.580 --> 00:16:27.340
 of bulls

00:16:27.340 --> 00:16:27.980
 and goats

00:16:27.980 --> 00:16:29.920
 to take away sins.

00:16:31.580 --> 00:16:32.360
 None of it

00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:33.720
 made anyone perfect.

00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:35.700
 This huge chunk

00:16:35.700 --> 00:16:36.840
 in the Old Testament

00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:38.039
 which tells Israel

00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:39.039
 exactly how they

00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:39.580
 should live,

00:16:39.860 --> 00:16:40.399
 which tells them

00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:41.259
 exactly how they

00:16:41.259 --> 00:16:41.800
 should worship,

00:16:41.980 --> 00:16:42.539
 which tells them

00:16:42.539 --> 00:16:43.360
 exactly how they

00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:43.879
 should gather,

00:16:44.420 --> 00:16:45.340
 none of it

00:16:45.340 --> 00:16:46.779
 made anyone

00:16:46.779 --> 00:16:47.320
 perfect.

00:16:49.220 --> 00:16:50.159
 And that's what

00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:50.879
 needs to happen.

00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:53.420
 If people are going

00:16:53.420 --> 00:16:54.100
 to be certain

00:16:54.100 --> 00:16:54.700
 about heaven,

00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:55.200
 if people are going

00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:56.180
 to know God,

00:16:56.259 --> 00:16:56.639
 if people are going

00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:57.440
 to have a relationship

00:16:57.440 --> 00:16:57.980
 with Him,

00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:00.000
 the issue is

00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:00.840
 they're not perfect

00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:01.800
 and so the solution

00:17:01.800 --> 00:17:02.520
 is they need to be

00:17:02.520 --> 00:17:03.480
 made perfect.

00:17:04.980 --> 00:17:06.200
 That's the core issue.

00:17:06.580 --> 00:17:07.860
 That's why we fumble

00:17:07.860 --> 00:17:09.380
 with that first question.

00:17:10.120 --> 00:17:10.960
 That's why that word

00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:12.019
 certain makes us

00:17:12.019 --> 00:17:13.140
 feel so uncomfortable

00:17:13.140 --> 00:17:15.960
 because anyone

00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:17.160
 with even the slightest

00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:18.460
 bit of self-awareness

00:17:18.460 --> 00:17:19.360
 knows that perfect

00:17:19.360 --> 00:17:20.200
 is not them.

00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:23.140
 And so we feel

00:17:23.140 --> 00:17:23.740
 uncomfortable

00:17:23.740 --> 00:17:25.759
 because God

00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:26.960
 does require that.

00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:29.500
 And even if the

00:17:29.500 --> 00:17:30.559
 sacrifices that He

00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:31.519
 describes in the law

00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:32.620
 had been able to

00:17:32.620 --> 00:17:33.740
 pay for past sins,

00:17:33.779 --> 00:17:34.600
 which they couldn't,

00:17:35.500 --> 00:17:36.140
 but even if they

00:17:36.140 --> 00:17:37.000
 had been able to do

00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:37.500
 that, if they were

00:17:37.500 --> 00:17:38.519
 able to wipe the

00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:39.420
 slate clean,

00:17:39.420 --> 00:17:40.660
 it doesn't change

00:17:40.660 --> 00:17:41.700
 the fact that

00:17:41.700 --> 00:17:43.519
 people are sinful.

00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:45.880
 That sin runs

00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:46.360
 deeper.

00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:47.659
 So even if we

00:17:47.659 --> 00:17:48.199
 could do the

00:17:48.199 --> 00:17:49.139
 sacrifices and

00:17:49.139 --> 00:17:49.819
 wipe the slate

00:17:49.819 --> 00:17:50.740
 clean, as soon

00:17:50.740 --> 00:17:51.359
 as it's clean,

00:17:51.419 --> 00:17:51.859
 we've already

00:17:51.859 --> 00:17:52.679
 dirtied it again.

00:17:53.679 --> 00:17:54.539
 As soon as the

00:17:54.539 --> 00:17:55.559
 accounts to zero,

00:17:55.679 --> 00:17:56.019
 we've already

00:17:56.019 --> 00:17:57.059
 started accumulating

00:17:57.059 --> 00:17:57.759
 debt again

00:17:57.759 --> 00:17:58.779
 because it's us

00:17:58.779 --> 00:17:59.959
 who are sinful.

00:18:01.539 --> 00:18:02.279
 Sin comes from

00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:03.399
 within us

00:18:03.399 --> 00:18:05.119
 and so something

00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:06.279
 else is needed.

00:18:07.199 --> 00:18:08.099
 A better solution

00:18:08.099 --> 00:18:08.959
 is required.

00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:10.799
 Therefore,

00:18:11.840 --> 00:18:12.960
 verse 5,

00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:15.440
 Therefore,

00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:16.539
 when Christ came

00:18:16.539 --> 00:18:17.160
 into the world,

00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:17.720
 He said,

00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:19.799
 Sacrifice and

00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:20.539
 offering you did

00:18:20.539 --> 00:18:21.299
 not desire,

00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:22.779
 but a body you

00:18:22.779 --> 00:18:23.620
 prepared for me.

00:18:24.259 --> 00:18:24.920
 With burnt

00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:25.880
 offerings and sin

00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:26.559
 offerings you were

00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:27.299
 not pleased.

00:18:28.019 --> 00:18:28.860
 Then I said,

00:18:28.980 --> 00:18:29.720
 Here I am.

00:18:30.059 --> 00:18:30.600
 It is written

00:18:30.600 --> 00:18:31.380
 about me in the

00:18:31.380 --> 00:18:31.700
 scroll.

00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:33.259
 I have come to

00:18:33.259 --> 00:18:34.059
 do your will,

00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:34.819
 my God.

00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:36.519
 First,

00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:36.940
 He said,

00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:37.779
 sacrifice and

00:18:37.779 --> 00:18:38.240
 offerings,

00:18:38.420 --> 00:18:38.940
 burnt offerings,

00:18:38.940 --> 00:18:39.720
 and sin offerings

00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:40.259
 you do not

00:18:40.259 --> 00:18:40.680
 desire,

00:18:41.019 --> 00:18:41.480
 nor were you

00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:41.920
 pleased with

00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:42.100
 them,

00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:43.100
 though they

00:18:43.100 --> 00:18:43.480
 were offered

00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:44.000
 in accordance

00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:44.600
 with the law.

00:18:45.100 --> 00:18:45.920
 Then He said,

00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:47.360
 Here I am.

00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:48.340
 I have come

00:18:48.340 --> 00:18:49.140
 to do your

00:18:49.140 --> 00:18:49.460
 will.

00:18:50.100 --> 00:18:51.000
 He sets aside

00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:51.640
 the first to

00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:52.380
 establish the

00:18:52.380 --> 00:18:52.720
 second,

00:18:53.259 --> 00:18:54.000
 and by that

00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:54.820
 will we've

00:18:54.820 --> 00:18:55.240
 been made

00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:56.259
 holy through

00:18:56.259 --> 00:18:56.960
 the sacrifice

00:18:56.960 --> 00:18:57.799
 of the body

00:18:57.799 --> 00:18:58.299
 of Jesus

00:18:58.299 --> 00:18:59.660
 Christ once

00:18:59.660 --> 00:19:00.600
 for all.

00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:03.380
 Jesus came

00:19:03.380 --> 00:19:04.240
 to do what

00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:04.820
 we couldn't.

00:19:06.080 --> 00:19:07.039
 Jesus came

00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:07.920
 to provide

00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:08.700
 the perfection

00:19:08.700 --> 00:19:09.160
 that was

00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:09.680
 required.

00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:10.740
 He came

00:19:10.740 --> 00:19:11.360
 to do

00:19:11.360 --> 00:19:12.360
 the perfect

00:19:12.360 --> 00:19:12.840
 obedience

00:19:12.840 --> 00:19:13.259
 that we

00:19:13.259 --> 00:19:13.740
 were falling

00:19:13.740 --> 00:19:14.279
 short on.

00:19:14.380 --> 00:19:14.880
 Verse 9,

00:19:15.220 --> 00:19:16.200
 Here I am.

00:19:16.819 --> 00:19:17.700
 I have come

00:19:17.700 --> 00:19:18.200
 to do

00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:18.819
 your will.

00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:21.279
 Perfect

00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:21.740
 obedience

00:19:21.740 --> 00:19:22.600
 was required,

00:19:23.600 --> 00:19:24.620
 and in

00:19:24.620 --> 00:19:24.940
 Jesus,

00:19:25.259 --> 00:19:25.580
 perfect

00:19:25.580 --> 00:19:25.960
 obedience

00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:26.819
 was provided.

00:19:27.819 --> 00:19:28.640
 The only

00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:29.980
 place anyone

00:19:29.980 --> 00:19:30.440
 will ever

00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:30.940
 find the

00:19:30.940 --> 00:19:31.360
 perfection

00:19:31.360 --> 00:19:31.880
 that God

00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:32.480
 demands of

00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:32.660
 them

00:19:32.660 --> 00:19:34.680
 is in

00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:35.000
 Jesus,

00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:36.660
 in his

00:19:36.660 --> 00:19:37.120
 perfect

00:19:37.120 --> 00:19:37.759
 life,

00:19:38.180 --> 00:19:39.340
 in his

00:19:39.340 --> 00:19:39.759
 perfect

00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:40.259
 death.

00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:42.340
 In fact,

00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:42.720
 that's the

00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:43.100
 whole reason

00:19:43.100 --> 00:19:43.500
 he came.

00:19:45.660 --> 00:19:46.140
 Now,

00:19:46.220 --> 00:19:46.560
 let me just

00:19:46.560 --> 00:19:47.180
 slow down

00:19:47.180 --> 00:19:47.779
 here for a

00:19:47.779 --> 00:19:48.080
 second.

00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:50.680
 Jesus

00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:51.820
 didn't come

00:19:51.820 --> 00:19:53.100
 to be

00:19:53.100 --> 00:19:53.800
 perfect for

00:19:53.800 --> 00:19:54.259
 you because

00:19:54.259 --> 00:19:54.560
 it was

00:19:54.560 --> 00:19:55.300
 difficult and

00:19:55.300 --> 00:19:55.600
 he wanted

00:19:55.600 --> 00:19:56.080
 to make it

00:19:56.080 --> 00:19:56.460
 easier.

00:19:56.460 --> 00:20:00.200
 he didn't

00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:00.740
 come because

00:20:00.740 --> 00:20:01.019
 you were

00:20:01.019 --> 00:20:01.539
 close and

00:20:01.539 --> 00:20:01.720
 you would

00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:01.900
 have got

00:20:01.900 --> 00:20:02.059
 there

00:20:02.059 --> 00:20:02.480
 eventually,

00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:03.340
 but he

00:20:03.340 --> 00:20:03.620
 just wanted

00:20:03.620 --> 00:20:03.920
 to help

00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:04.400
 you along.

00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:07.420
 Jesus

00:20:07.420 --> 00:20:08.460
 does it

00:20:08.460 --> 00:20:09.039
 because it's

00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:09.779
 impossible

00:20:09.779 --> 00:20:11.140
 for you

00:20:11.140 --> 00:20:11.700
 to do it.

00:20:13.120 --> 00:20:13.579
 There is

00:20:13.579 --> 00:20:14.799
 no chance

00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:16.500
 that anyone

00:20:16.500 --> 00:20:17.779
 could ever

00:20:17.779 --> 00:20:18.299
 make this

00:20:18.299 --> 00:20:18.779
 standard.

00:20:19.380 --> 00:20:19.700
 Isaiah

00:20:19.700 --> 00:20:20.220
 tells us

00:20:20.220 --> 00:20:20.579
 that even

00:20:20.579 --> 00:20:21.420
 our righteous

00:20:21.420 --> 00:20:22.380
 acts are

00:20:22.380 --> 00:20:23.140
 like filthy

00:20:23.140 --> 00:20:24.160
 rags before

00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:24.579
 God.

00:20:24.579 --> 00:20:26.500
 that our

00:20:26.500 --> 00:20:27.460
 best attempts

00:20:27.460 --> 00:20:28.019
 are almost

00:20:28.019 --> 00:20:28.939
 offensive to

00:20:28.939 --> 00:20:29.199
 him.

00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:34.079
 And yet

00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:34.720
 sometimes

00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:37.000
 we treat

00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:37.899
 Jesus and

00:20:37.899 --> 00:20:38.659
 his perfect

00:20:38.659 --> 00:20:39.439
 obedience like

00:20:39.439 --> 00:20:39.839
 it's the

00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:40.919
 top up for

00:20:40.919 --> 00:20:41.619
 our almost

00:20:41.619 --> 00:20:42.279
 perfect

00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:42.699
 obedience.

00:20:45.259 --> 00:20:46.159
 We don't

00:20:46.159 --> 00:20:47.279
 see him as

00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:47.899
 the solution

00:20:47.899 --> 00:20:48.359
 to our

00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:48.899
 impossible

00:20:48.899 --> 00:20:49.460
 problem.

00:20:50.619 --> 00:20:51.480
 We see

00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:51.980
 him as the

00:20:51.980 --> 00:20:52.819
 icing on

00:20:52.819 --> 00:20:53.319
 our pretty

00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:53.740
 reasonable

00:20:53.740 --> 00:20:54.139
 cake.

00:20:54.579 --> 00:20:58.059
 But the

00:20:58.059 --> 00:20:58.759
 Bible says

00:20:58.759 --> 00:20:59.439
 about Jesus

00:20:59.439 --> 00:21:00.919
 that he's

00:21:00.919 --> 00:21:01.679
 doing what

00:21:01.679 --> 00:21:02.679
 we couldn't

00:21:02.679 --> 00:21:03.059
 do.

00:21:06.899 --> 00:21:07.699
 He's the

00:21:07.699 --> 00:21:08.399
 only perfect

00:21:08.399 --> 00:21:08.699
 one.

00:21:09.720 --> 00:21:10.119
 That's the

00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:10.659
 first thing.

00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:12.359
 The second

00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:14.339
 thing is

00:21:14.339 --> 00:21:14.919
 that Jesus

00:21:14.919 --> 00:21:16.559
 takes what

00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:17.259
 you deserve.

00:21:18.059 --> 00:21:18.799
 Two things

00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:19.159
 are needed

00:21:19.159 --> 00:21:19.500
 if we're

00:21:19.500 --> 00:21:19.619
 going to

00:21:19.619 --> 00:21:20.059
 grab hold

00:21:20.059 --> 00:21:20.319
 of this

00:21:20.319 --> 00:21:20.919
 perfection

00:21:20.919 --> 00:21:21.720
 that we

00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:22.159
 need to.

00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:23.680
 we need

00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:24.259
 this new

00:21:24.259 --> 00:21:24.700
 perfect

00:21:24.700 --> 00:21:25.400
 record that

00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:25.960
 Jesus has

00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:26.720
 established by

00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:27.180
 living a

00:21:27.180 --> 00:21:27.960
 perfect life

00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:29.380
 but we

00:21:29.380 --> 00:21:30.000
 still need to

00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:30.519
 deal with the

00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:31.240
 consequence of

00:21:31.240 --> 00:21:31.840
 our sin.

00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:33.120
 We still need

00:21:33.120 --> 00:21:33.660
 to deal with

00:21:33.660 --> 00:21:34.100
 the right

00:21:34.100 --> 00:21:34.779
 judgment that

00:21:34.779 --> 00:21:35.500
 God has for

00:21:35.500 --> 00:21:36.140
 the times that

00:21:36.140 --> 00:21:36.900
 we ignore him

00:21:36.900 --> 00:21:37.680
 and dishonor him

00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:38.259
 and don't love

00:21:38.259 --> 00:21:38.880
 him the way he

00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:39.360
 deserves.

00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:41.460
 But Jesus

00:21:41.460 --> 00:21:42.680
 takes that as

00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:42.940
 well.

00:21:42.940 --> 00:21:44.140
 verse 10

00:21:44.140 --> 00:21:46.360
 by that

00:21:46.360 --> 00:21:46.880
 will we've

00:21:46.880 --> 00:21:47.420
 been made

00:21:47.420 --> 00:21:48.220
 holy through

00:21:48.220 --> 00:21:49.019
 the sacrifice

00:21:49.019 --> 00:21:49.740
 of the body

00:21:49.740 --> 00:21:50.180
 of Jesus

00:21:50.180 --> 00:21:50.860
 Christ once

00:21:50.860 --> 00:21:51.320
 for all.

00:21:52.360 --> 00:21:52.960
 Day after

00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:53.519
 day every

00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:54.279
 priest stands

00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:54.920
 and performs

00:21:54.920 --> 00:21:55.500
 his religious

00:21:55.500 --> 00:21:56.400
 duties again

00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:57.200
 and again he

00:21:57.200 --> 00:21:57.660
 offers the

00:21:57.660 --> 00:21:58.640
 same sacrifices

00:21:58.640 --> 00:21:59.100
 which can

00:21:59.100 --> 00:21:59.660
 never take

00:21:59.660 --> 00:22:00.259
 away sins

00:22:00.259 --> 00:22:00.960
 but when

00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:01.900
 this priest

00:22:01.900 --> 00:22:03.259
 Jesus had

00:22:03.259 --> 00:22:03.820
 offered for

00:22:03.820 --> 00:22:04.920
 all time one

00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:05.740
 sacrifice for

00:22:05.740 --> 00:22:06.740
 sins he sat

00:22:06.740 --> 00:22:07.240
 down at the

00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:07.880
 right hand of

00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:08.559
 God and since

00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:09.660
 that time he

00:22:09.660 --> 00:22:10.340
 waits for his

00:22:10.340 --> 00:22:11.080
 enemies to be

00:22:11.080 --> 00:22:11.559
 made his

00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:12.660
 footstool for

00:22:12.660 --> 00:22:13.300
 by one

00:22:13.300 --> 00:22:15.340
 sacrifice he

00:22:15.340 --> 00:22:17.040
 has made

00:22:17.040 --> 00:22:19.560
 perfect forever

00:22:19.560 --> 00:22:21.640
 those who are

00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:22.320
 being made

00:22:22.320 --> 00:22:22.759
 holy.

00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:25.440
 One

00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:26.279
 sacrifice

00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:27.220
 sufficient for

00:22:27.220 --> 00:22:27.800
 all sins

00:22:27.800 --> 00:22:29.040
 past present

00:22:29.040 --> 00:22:29.840
 and future

00:22:29.840 --> 00:22:31.580
 the perfect

00:22:31.580 --> 00:22:32.560
 son of God

00:22:32.560 --> 00:22:33.560
 the innocent

00:22:33.560 --> 00:22:34.500
 son of God

00:22:34.500 --> 00:22:36.080
 killed in the

00:22:36.080 --> 00:22:36.940
 place of guilty

00:22:36.940 --> 00:22:37.440
 ones

00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:39.779
 killed in our

00:22:39.779 --> 00:22:40.279
 place

00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:40.399
 peace.

00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:42.859
 The prophet

00:22:42.859 --> 00:22:43.440
 Isaiah

00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:44.220
 describes it

00:22:44.220 --> 00:22:46.079
 vividly in

00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:46.940
 chapter 53

00:22:46.940 --> 00:22:49.579
 it says

00:22:49.579 --> 00:22:50.299
 surely he

00:22:50.299 --> 00:22:51.200
 took up our

00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:52.299
 pain and

00:22:52.299 --> 00:22:52.839
 bore our

00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:54.460
 suffering yet

00:22:54.460 --> 00:22:55.119
 we considered

00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:55.779
 him punished

00:22:55.779 --> 00:22:56.440
 by God

00:22:56.440 --> 00:22:57.359
 stricken by

00:22:57.359 --> 00:22:57.680
 him and

00:22:57.680 --> 00:22:59.500
 afflicted but

00:22:59.500 --> 00:23:00.279
 he was

00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:01.519
 pierced for

00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:02.839
 our transgressions

00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:04.579
 he was

00:23:04.579 --> 00:23:05.660
 crushed for

00:23:05.660 --> 00:23:06.779
 our iniquities

00:23:06.779 --> 00:23:08.139
 the punishment

00:23:08.139 --> 00:23:08.559
 that brought

00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:09.299
 us peace

00:23:09.299 --> 00:23:09.660
 was on

00:23:09.660 --> 00:23:10.480
 him and

00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:11.139
 by his

00:23:11.139 --> 00:23:12.139
 wounds we

00:23:12.139 --> 00:23:12.839
 are healed

00:23:12.839 --> 00:23:14.839
 we all like

00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:15.399
 sheep have

00:23:15.399 --> 00:23:16.059
 gone astray

00:23:16.059 --> 00:23:17.279
 each of us

00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:19.200
 has turned to

00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:19.779
 our own way

00:23:19.779 --> 00:23:20.279
 and the Lord

00:23:20.279 --> 00:23:20.859
 has laid on

00:23:20.859 --> 00:23:21.819
 him the

00:23:21.819 --> 00:23:22.680
 iniquity of

00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:23.259
 us all

00:23:23.259 --> 00:23:25.799
 Jesus death

00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:26.500
 on the cross

00:23:26.500 --> 00:23:27.359
 was the once

00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:28.379
 for all

00:23:28.379 --> 00:23:29.259
 sufficient

00:23:29.259 --> 00:23:30.500
 payment for

00:23:30.500 --> 00:23:30.940
 sin

00:23:30.940 --> 00:23:32.500
 it was the

00:23:32.500 --> 00:23:33.140
 one time

00:23:33.140 --> 00:23:33.720
 payment that

00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:34.180
 keeps the

00:23:34.180 --> 00:23:34.580
 debt at

00:23:34.580 --> 00:23:35.120
 zero no

00:23:35.120 --> 00:23:35.519
 matter how

00:23:35.519 --> 00:23:36.100
 many times

00:23:36.100 --> 00:23:36.539
 you stuff

00:23:36.539 --> 00:23:36.779
 up

00:23:36.779 --> 00:23:39.259
 it removed

00:23:39.259 --> 00:23:40.299
 every possible

00:23:40.299 --> 00:23:41.259
 barrier between

00:23:41.259 --> 00:23:42.299
 us and

00:23:42.299 --> 00:23:43.920
 God and

00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:46.400
 replaced those

00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:47.759
 barriers with

00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:48.380
 the perfect

00:23:48.380 --> 00:23:49.400
 obedience of

00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:49.740
 Jesus

00:23:49.740 --> 00:23:52.100
 it's what we

00:23:52.100 --> 00:23:52.920
 sometimes call

00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:53.620
 the great

00:23:53.620 --> 00:23:54.360
 exchange

00:23:54.359 --> 00:23:56.339
 Jesus takes

00:23:56.339 --> 00:23:56.819
 what we

00:23:56.819 --> 00:23:57.319
 deserve

00:23:57.319 --> 00:23:58.279
 he takes

00:23:58.279 --> 00:23:59.219
 our wrath

00:23:59.219 --> 00:23:59.619
 he takes

00:23:59.619 --> 00:24:00.479
 our judgment

00:24:00.479 --> 00:24:01.099
 he fully

00:24:01.099 --> 00:24:02.119
 satisfies God

00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:02.879
 by dying in

00:24:02.879 --> 00:24:03.439
 our place

00:24:03.439 --> 00:24:04.240
 and then in

00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:04.879
 exchange

00:24:04.879 --> 00:24:06.379
 he gives us

00:24:06.379 --> 00:24:07.519
 his perfect

00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:08.339
 report card

00:24:08.339 --> 00:24:10.000
 he gives us

00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:10.779
 his perfect

00:24:10.779 --> 00:24:11.439
 obedience

00:24:11.439 --> 00:24:12.259
 and now he

00:24:12.259 --> 00:24:13.179
 can sit at

00:24:13.179 --> 00:24:13.979
 the right hand

00:24:13.979 --> 00:24:14.579
 of God in

00:24:14.579 --> 00:24:14.879
 heaven

00:24:14.879 --> 00:24:16.179
 guaranteeing

00:24:16.179 --> 00:24:17.179
 that his

00:24:17.179 --> 00:24:17.899
 life lived

00:24:17.899 --> 00:24:18.539
 for us

00:24:18.539 --> 00:24:19.379
 his death

00:24:19.379 --> 00:24:19.899
 died in

00:24:19.899 --> 00:24:20.419
 our place

00:24:20.419 --> 00:24:21.219
 makes it

00:24:21.219 --> 00:24:21.719
 possible

00:24:21.719 --> 00:24:22.939
 for people

00:24:22.939 --> 00:24:23.539
 like you and

00:24:23.539 --> 00:24:24.119
 me to hear

00:24:24.119 --> 00:24:24.539
 the words

00:24:24.539 --> 00:24:25.099
 that should

00:24:25.099 --> 00:24:25.759
 be reserved

00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:26.299
 just for

00:24:26.299 --> 00:24:26.779
 Jesus

00:24:26.779 --> 00:24:30.439
 words like

00:24:30.439 --> 00:24:32.399
 this is my

00:24:32.399 --> 00:24:33.939
 son whom

00:24:33.939 --> 00:24:34.559
 I love

00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:36.059
 and with

00:24:36.059 --> 00:24:36.559
 him I am

00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:37.239
 well pleased

00:24:37.239 --> 00:24:39.839
 this is my

00:24:39.839 --> 00:24:41.500
 daughter whom

00:24:41.500 --> 00:24:42.239
 I love

00:24:42.239 --> 00:24:44.199
 with her I

00:24:44.199 --> 00:24:44.659
 am well

00:24:44.659 --> 00:24:45.259
 pleased

00:24:45.259 --> 00:24:47.059
 Jesus is the

00:24:47.059 --> 00:24:47.919
 only place

00:24:47.919 --> 00:24:48.839
 where sinful

00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:49.639
 people can

00:24:49.639 --> 00:24:50.259
 find hope

00:24:50.259 --> 00:24:52.939
 he's the

00:24:52.939 --> 00:24:53.879
 only chance

00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:54.600
 that we

00:24:54.600 --> 00:24:55.560
 have to

00:24:55.560 --> 00:24:55.900
 know the

00:24:55.900 --> 00:24:56.940
 perfect God

00:24:56.940 --> 00:24:57.260
 of all

00:24:57.260 --> 00:24:57.780
 creation

00:24:57.780 --> 00:24:58.900
 as our

00:24:58.900 --> 00:24:59.260
 heavenly

00:24:59.260 --> 00:24:59.760
 father

00:24:59.760 --> 00:25:03.300
 Christ

00:25:03.300 --> 00:25:03.920
 alone

00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:07.260
 can do

00:25:07.260 --> 00:25:07.600
 what is

00:25:07.600 --> 00:25:07.920
 needed

00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:09.960
 Christ

00:25:09.960 --> 00:25:10.560
 alone

00:25:10.560 --> 00:25:11.420
 does what

00:25:11.420 --> 00:25:11.880
 you could

00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:12.220
 not

00:25:12.220 --> 00:25:13.240
 and takes

00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:13.540
 what you

00:25:13.540 --> 00:25:13.980
 deserve

00:25:13.980 --> 00:25:14.420
 and that's

00:25:14.420 --> 00:25:14.860
 why Acts

00:25:14.860 --> 00:25:15.680
 4 says

00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:16.760
 salvation is

00:25:16.760 --> 00:25:17.340
 found in

00:25:17.340 --> 00:25:17.840
 no one

00:25:17.840 --> 00:25:18.200
 else

00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:18.779
 for there

00:25:18.779 --> 00:25:19.160
 is no

00:25:19.160 --> 00:25:19.720
 other name

00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:20.420
 under heaven

00:25:20.420 --> 00:25:21.019
 given to

00:25:21.019 --> 00:25:21.400
 mankind

00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:22.460
 by which

00:25:22.460 --> 00:25:22.880
 we must

00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:23.559
 be saved

00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:30.860
 the issue

00:25:30.860 --> 00:25:31.319
 for many

00:25:31.319 --> 00:25:31.759
 of us

00:25:31.759 --> 00:25:32.059
 when it

00:25:32.059 --> 00:25:32.580
 comes to

00:25:32.580 --> 00:25:33.039
 being able

00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:33.460
 to answer

00:25:33.460 --> 00:25:34.039
 that first

00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:34.700
 question with

00:25:34.700 --> 00:25:35.259
 a confident

00:25:35.259 --> 00:25:35.840
 yes

00:25:35.840 --> 00:25:38.019
 comes back

00:25:38.019 --> 00:25:38.380
 to that

00:25:38.380 --> 00:25:39.120
 system of

00:25:39.120 --> 00:25:39.660
 penance

00:25:39.660 --> 00:25:41.660
 confession

00:25:41.660 --> 00:25:44.720
 is a good

00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:45.060
 and right

00:25:45.060 --> 00:25:45.560
 response

00:25:45.560 --> 00:25:45.960
 when God

00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:46.460
 shows us

00:25:46.460 --> 00:25:46.779
 that we're

00:25:46.779 --> 00:25:47.040
 not the

00:25:47.040 --> 00:25:47.460
 people we

00:25:47.460 --> 00:25:47.779
 need to

00:25:47.779 --> 00:25:48.060
 be

00:25:48.060 --> 00:25:49.519
 contrition

00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:50.360
 is a

00:25:50.360 --> 00:25:50.779
 necessary

00:25:50.779 --> 00:25:51.540
 part of

00:25:51.540 --> 00:25:52.340
 that genuine

00:25:52.340 --> 00:25:53.360
 confession

00:25:53.360 --> 00:25:54.120
 but it's the

00:25:54.120 --> 00:25:54.860
 satisfaction

00:25:54.860 --> 00:25:55.360
 bit where

00:25:55.360 --> 00:25:55.700
 we go

00:25:55.700 --> 00:25:56.040
 wrong

00:25:56.040 --> 00:25:57.420
 satisfaction

00:25:57.420 --> 00:25:58.220
 needs to

00:25:58.220 --> 00:25:58.620
 happen

00:25:58.620 --> 00:26:00.160
 but the

00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:00.519
 only

00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:01.220
 satisfaction

00:26:01.220 --> 00:26:01.740
 that leads

00:26:01.740 --> 00:26:02.580
 to assurance

00:26:02.580 --> 00:26:04.460
 is trusting

00:26:04.460 --> 00:26:04.900
 in the

00:26:04.900 --> 00:26:05.420
 satisfaction

00:26:05.420 --> 00:26:06.080
 that Jesus

00:26:06.080 --> 00:26:06.700
 has done

00:26:06.700 --> 00:26:08.319
 trusting in

00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:08.779
 the payment

00:26:08.779 --> 00:26:09.519
 that Jesus

00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:10.259
 has made

00:26:10.259 --> 00:26:10.680
 for our

00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:10.960
 sin

00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:13.840
 there's a

00:26:13.840 --> 00:26:14.440
 chance that

00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:14.759
 if you're

00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:15.440
 somebody who

00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:16.039
 doesn't feel

00:26:16.039 --> 00:26:16.600
 particularly

00:26:16.600 --> 00:26:17.420
 secure when

00:26:17.420 --> 00:26:17.920
 it comes

00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:18.799
 to heaven

00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:20.400
 if you're

00:26:20.400 --> 00:26:21.019
 somebody who

00:26:21.019 --> 00:26:21.860
 struggles with

00:26:21.860 --> 00:26:22.600
 the certainty

00:26:22.600 --> 00:26:23.180
 that God

00:26:23.180 --> 00:26:23.900
 speaks of in

00:26:23.900 --> 00:26:24.380
 his word

00:26:24.380 --> 00:26:24.980
 and promises

00:26:24.980 --> 00:26:25.620
 is available

00:26:25.620 --> 00:26:26.140
 through his

00:26:26.140 --> 00:26:26.460
 son

00:26:26.460 --> 00:26:28.740
 there's a

00:26:28.740 --> 00:26:29.259
 chance that

00:26:29.259 --> 00:26:29.720
 you're doing

00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:30.400
 the confession

00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:31.039
 bit maybe

00:26:31.039 --> 00:26:32.200
 you're doing

00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:32.900
 the contrition

00:26:32.900 --> 00:26:33.519
 bit but it's

00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:34.000
 when it gets

00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:34.799
 the satisfaction

00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:35.340
 that you're

00:26:35.340 --> 00:26:36.180
 tempted to do

00:26:36.180 --> 00:26:37.240
 maybe Jesus

00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:39.539
 and yeah

00:26:39.539 --> 00:26:39.940
 I trust

00:26:39.940 --> 00:26:40.600
 Jesus but I

00:26:40.600 --> 00:26:41.019
 feel the need

00:26:41.019 --> 00:26:41.440
 to do a bit

00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:41.799
 of the work

00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:42.360
 myself

00:26:42.360 --> 00:26:47.860
 the only

00:26:47.860 --> 00:26:48.480
 place you're

00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:48.860
 going to find

00:26:48.860 --> 00:26:49.500
 certainty is

00:26:49.500 --> 00:26:50.799
 him because

00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:51.460
 the only place

00:26:51.460 --> 00:26:51.740
 you're going to

00:26:51.740 --> 00:26:52.460
 find perfection

00:26:52.460 --> 00:26:53.039
 which is what

00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:53.539
 is required

00:26:53.539 --> 00:26:54.000
 is him

00:26:54.000 --> 00:26:56.200
 and all you

00:26:56.200 --> 00:26:56.740
 do when you

00:26:56.740 --> 00:26:57.299
 try and add

00:26:57.299 --> 00:26:57.660
 to his

00:26:57.660 --> 00:26:58.460
 perfection is

00:26:58.460 --> 00:26:59.180
 dilute it

00:26:59.180 --> 00:27:02.100
 you unperfect

00:27:02.100 --> 00:27:02.400
 it

00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:06.900
 if you're

00:27:06.900 --> 00:27:07.440
 somebody in

00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:07.920
 this room

00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:08.660
 who is not

00:27:08.660 --> 00:27:09.400
 following Jesus

00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:09.860
 if you're not

00:27:09.860 --> 00:27:10.340
 a Christian

00:27:10.340 --> 00:27:10.840
 if you're not

00:27:10.840 --> 00:27:11.440
 somebody who

00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:12.200
 has gone

00:27:12.200 --> 00:27:12.540
 through that

00:27:12.540 --> 00:27:13.160
 process of

00:27:13.160 --> 00:27:14.019
 recognizing that

00:27:14.019 --> 00:27:14.620
 you need

00:27:14.620 --> 00:27:15.320
 God's help

00:27:15.320 --> 00:27:15.880
 if you're ever

00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:16.340
 going to know

00:27:16.340 --> 00:27:16.540
 him

00:27:16.540 --> 00:27:17.160
 you need

00:27:17.160 --> 00:27:17.660
 his help

00:27:17.660 --> 00:27:17.940
 if you're

00:27:17.940 --> 00:27:18.180
 ever going

00:27:18.180 --> 00:27:18.560
 to be in

00:27:18.560 --> 00:27:18.860
 heaven

00:27:18.860 --> 00:27:19.860
 if you're

00:27:19.860 --> 00:27:20.320
 not somebody

00:27:20.320 --> 00:27:20.680
 who has

00:27:20.680 --> 00:27:21.320
 asked for

00:27:21.320 --> 00:27:21.900
 the forgiveness

00:27:21.900 --> 00:27:22.820
 that Jesus

00:27:22.820 --> 00:27:24.000
 purchased by

00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:24.640
 dying on the

00:27:24.640 --> 00:27:25.120
 cross in

00:27:25.120 --> 00:27:25.720
 your place

00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:26.940
 I want to

00:27:26.940 --> 00:27:27.360
 tell you

00:27:27.360 --> 00:27:28.120
 that the

00:27:28.120 --> 00:27:29.600
 offer of

00:27:29.599 --> 00:27:30.019
 forgiveness

00:27:30.019 --> 00:27:31.579
 the offer

00:27:31.579 --> 00:27:32.779
 of certainty

00:27:32.779 --> 00:27:33.719
 of hope

00:27:33.719 --> 00:27:34.599
 of peace

00:27:34.599 --> 00:27:35.379
 is there

00:27:35.379 --> 00:27:35.779
 for you

00:27:35.779 --> 00:27:37.000
 right now

00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:38.779
 tonight

00:27:38.779 --> 00:27:42.079
 because Jesus

00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:42.740
 has done

00:27:42.740 --> 00:27:43.339
 what you

00:27:43.339 --> 00:27:44.099
 cannot do

00:27:44.099 --> 00:27:46.259
 he has taken

00:27:46.259 --> 00:27:46.699
 what you

00:27:46.699 --> 00:27:47.299
 deserve

00:27:47.299 --> 00:27:50.859
 and he is

00:27:50.859 --> 00:27:51.219
 offering

00:27:51.219 --> 00:27:53.339
 to forgive

00:27:53.339 --> 00:27:53.619
 you

00:27:53.619 --> 00:27:56.219
 to restore

00:27:56.219 --> 00:27:56.559
 you

00:27:56.559 --> 00:27:58.459
 and to

00:27:58.459 --> 00:27:58.839
 begin the

00:27:58.839 --> 00:27:59.240
 work of

00:27:59.240 --> 00:27:59.660
 preparing

00:27:59.660 --> 00:28:00.079
 you for

00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:00.359
 heaven

00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:07.039
 here's the

00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:07.500
 question we

00:28:07.500 --> 00:28:07.759
 need to

00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:08.380
 finish with

00:28:08.380 --> 00:28:12.460
 does this

00:28:12.460 --> 00:28:13.079
 still matter

00:28:13.079 --> 00:28:15.819
 surely

00:28:15.819 --> 00:28:16.279
 you know

00:28:16.279 --> 00:28:16.779
 we're a

00:28:16.779 --> 00:28:17.059
 bible

00:28:17.059 --> 00:28:17.460
 believing

00:28:17.460 --> 00:28:17.920
 church

00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:19.620
 this was

00:28:19.620 --> 00:28:20.079
 a drastic

00:28:20.079 --> 00:28:20.680
 discovery

00:28:20.680 --> 00:28:21.519
 500 years

00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:21.920
 ago but

00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:22.480
 we know

00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:22.700
 it's

00:28:22.700 --> 00:28:23.019
 Christ

00:28:23.019 --> 00:28:23.400
 alone

00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:24.620
 I mean

00:28:24.620 --> 00:28:24.920
 Steve

00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:25.420
 even mentioned

00:28:25.420 --> 00:28:25.819
 it last

00:28:25.819 --> 00:28:26.160
 week

00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:27.000
 you might

00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:27.400
 be really

00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:27.700
 clever

00:28:27.700 --> 00:28:28.000
 and even

00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:28.220
 be able

00:28:28.220 --> 00:28:28.599
 to say

00:28:28.599 --> 00:28:29.399
 solus

00:28:29.399 --> 00:28:30.059
 Christus

00:28:30.059 --> 00:28:30.980
 which is

00:28:30.980 --> 00:28:31.219
 what the

00:28:31.219 --> 00:28:31.699
 reformers

00:28:31.699 --> 00:28:31.959
 would have

00:28:31.959 --> 00:28:32.219
 said

00:28:32.219 --> 00:28:33.480
 so surely

00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:33.939
 we don't

00:28:33.939 --> 00:28:34.219
 need to

00:28:34.219 --> 00:28:34.699
 cover this

00:28:34.699 --> 00:28:35.139
 we know

00:28:35.139 --> 00:28:35.799
 Jesus is

00:28:35.799 --> 00:28:36.159
 the only

00:28:36.159 --> 00:28:36.579
 way we

00:28:36.579 --> 00:28:36.879
 can be

00:28:36.879 --> 00:28:37.279
 saved

00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:37.599
 we talk

00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:37.919
 about this

00:28:37.919 --> 00:28:38.839
 every week

00:28:38.839 --> 00:28:39.559
 at church

00:28:39.559 --> 00:28:40.619
 was this

00:28:40.619 --> 00:28:41.199
 really worth

00:28:41.199 --> 00:28:43.359
 27 minutes

00:28:43.359 --> 00:28:43.619
 of our

00:28:43.619 --> 00:28:43.939
 time

00:28:43.940 --> 00:28:50.519
 well maybe

00:28:50.519 --> 00:28:51.000
 why did

00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:51.100
 why did

00:28:51.100 --> 00:28:51.220
 what the

00:28:51.220 --> 00:28:51.720
 entire

00:28:51.720 --> 00:28:52.240
 church

00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:52.799
 in the

00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:53.320
 15th

00:28:53.320 --> 00:28:53.720
 century

00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:54.460
 who knew

00:28:54.460 --> 00:28:54.940
 what God

00:28:54.940 --> 00:28:55.299
 had done

00:28:55.299 --> 00:28:55.700
 in Jesus

00:28:55.700 --> 00:28:56.019
 on the

00:28:56.019 --> 00:28:56.279
 cross

00:28:56.279 --> 00:28:56.700
 end up

00:28:56.700 --> 00:28:56.920
 so

00:28:56.920 --> 00:28:57.519
 fatally

00:28:57.519 --> 00:28:58.120
 misled

00:28:58.119 --> 00:29:04.859
 why do

00:29:04.859 --> 00:29:05.079
 you and

00:29:05.079 --> 00:29:05.359
 I need

00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:05.659
 to hear

00:29:05.659 --> 00:29:05.979
 this

00:29:05.979 --> 00:29:08.859
 the answer

00:29:08.859 --> 00:29:09.199
 is

00:29:09.199 --> 00:29:09.839
 sin

00:29:09.839 --> 00:29:12.679
 it was

00:29:12.679 --> 00:29:13.119
 the problem

00:29:13.119 --> 00:29:13.419
 then

00:29:13.419 --> 00:29:13.799
 and it's

00:29:13.799 --> 00:29:14.219
 the problem

00:29:14.219 --> 00:29:14.639
 now

00:29:14.639 --> 00:29:16.479
 we need to

00:29:16.479 --> 00:29:17.079
 understand

00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:17.479
 that the

00:29:17.479 --> 00:29:18.259
 issue here

00:29:18.259 --> 00:29:18.899
 is not

00:29:18.899 --> 00:29:19.659
 that it's

00:29:19.659 --> 00:29:20.299
 confusing

00:29:20.299 --> 00:29:20.839
 God has

00:29:20.839 --> 00:29:21.259
 laid it

00:29:21.259 --> 00:29:21.459
 out

00:29:21.459 --> 00:29:21.899
 he said

00:29:21.899 --> 00:29:22.539
 trust in

00:29:22.539 --> 00:29:22.799
 Jesus

00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:23.879
 just pick up

00:29:23.879 --> 00:29:24.539
 this solution

00:29:24.539 --> 00:29:25.119
 it's here

00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:25.519
 I've done

00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:26.019
 all the work

00:29:26.019 --> 00:29:26.400
 it's right

00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:26.539
 there

00:29:26.539 --> 00:29:27.119
 just take

00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:27.359
 it

00:29:27.359 --> 00:29:28.059
 and yet

00:29:28.059 --> 00:29:28.879
 our default

00:29:28.879 --> 00:29:29.460
 setting

00:29:29.460 --> 00:29:30.339
 is to

00:29:30.339 --> 00:29:30.839
 not do

00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:31.119
 that

00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:33.539
 our default

00:29:33.539 --> 00:29:34.000
 setting

00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:34.559
 is to

00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:35.539
 take what

00:29:35.539 --> 00:29:36.019
 God has

00:29:36.019 --> 00:29:37.039
 idiot proofed

00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:37.680
 for us

00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:38.799
 and make

00:29:38.799 --> 00:29:39.119
 it not

00:29:39.119 --> 00:29:39.559
 work

00:29:39.559 --> 00:29:42.339
 our default

00:29:42.339 --> 00:29:42.680
 setting

00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:42.980
 is to

00:29:42.980 --> 00:29:43.500
 hear God

00:29:43.500 --> 00:29:43.980
 say I

00:29:43.980 --> 00:29:44.420
 love you

00:29:44.420 --> 00:29:44.980
 in spite

00:29:44.980 --> 00:29:45.259
 of who

00:29:45.259 --> 00:29:45.680
 you are

00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:46.240
 and then

00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:46.660
 feel this

00:29:46.660 --> 00:29:47.220
 need to

00:29:47.220 --> 00:29:47.859
 be somebody

00:29:47.859 --> 00:29:48.139
 who's

00:29:48.139 --> 00:29:48.400
 worthy

00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:48.879
 of God's

00:29:48.879 --> 00:29:49.220
 love

00:29:49.220 --> 00:29:51.420
 our default

00:29:51.420 --> 00:29:51.839
 setting

00:29:51.839 --> 00:29:52.180
 is to

00:29:52.180 --> 00:29:52.579
 move in

00:29:52.579 --> 00:29:53.319
 the opposite

00:29:53.319 --> 00:29:54.279
 direction

00:29:54.279 --> 00:29:55.099
 of the

00:29:55.099 --> 00:29:55.779
 certainty

00:29:55.779 --> 00:29:56.339
 that God

00:29:56.339 --> 00:29:56.839
 has offered

00:29:56.839 --> 00:29:57.480
 by doing

00:29:57.480 --> 00:29:57.899
 what you

00:29:57.899 --> 00:29:58.299
 can't

00:29:58.299 --> 00:29:59.000
 and taking

00:29:59.000 --> 00:29:59.379
 what you

00:29:59.379 --> 00:29:59.819
 deserve

00:29:59.819 --> 00:30:00.700
 and sending

00:30:00.700 --> 00:30:01.220
 his son

00:30:01.220 --> 00:30:01.639
 to die

00:30:01.639 --> 00:30:01.839
 in your

00:30:01.839 --> 00:30:02.139
 place

00:30:02.139 --> 00:30:02.379
 on the

00:30:02.379 --> 00:30:02.799
 cross

00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:05.859
 we need

00:30:05.859 --> 00:30:06.240
 to be

00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:06.799
 reminded

00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:08.819
 that it's

00:30:08.819 --> 00:30:09.559
 only in

00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:09.960
 Jesus

00:30:09.960 --> 00:30:12.539
 because when

00:30:12.539 --> 00:30:13.059
 I asked you

00:30:13.059 --> 00:30:13.259
 at the

00:30:13.259 --> 00:30:13.779
 beginning of

00:30:13.779 --> 00:30:14.119
 this

00:30:14.119 --> 00:30:14.920
 whether or

00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:15.220
 not you're

00:30:15.220 --> 00:30:15.519
 certain

00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:15.899
 you're going

00:30:15.899 --> 00:30:16.339
 to heaven

00:30:16.339 --> 00:30:19.420
 most if

00:30:19.420 --> 00:30:19.839
 not all

00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:20.339
 of us

00:30:20.339 --> 00:30:21.119
 were hesitant

00:30:21.119 --> 00:30:21.660
 about the

00:30:21.660 --> 00:30:21.879
 word

00:30:21.879 --> 00:30:22.279
 certain

00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:26.639
 that's

00:30:26.639 --> 00:30:26.819
 what

00:30:26.819 --> 00:30:27.200
 Jesus

00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:27.740
 offers

00:30:27.740 --> 00:30:31.200
 and so

00:30:31.200 --> 00:30:31.819
 we need

00:30:31.819 --> 00:30:32.160
 to come

00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:32.440
 back

00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:32.819
 now

00:30:32.819 --> 00:30:33.859
 we need

00:30:33.859 --> 00:30:34.399
 to recognize

00:30:34.399 --> 00:30:34.859
 that this

00:30:34.859 --> 00:30:35.339
 is a battle

00:30:35.339 --> 00:30:36.000
 going on

00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:36.379
 in our

00:30:36.379 --> 00:30:36.779
 hearts

00:30:36.779 --> 00:30:37.480
 and that

00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:38.160
 salvation

00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:39.240
 is only

00:30:39.240 --> 00:30:40.059
 found in

00:30:40.059 --> 00:30:40.420
 Jesus

00:30:40.420 --> 00:30:44.079
 not in

00:30:44.079 --> 00:30:44.700
 the extra

00:30:44.700 --> 00:30:46.480
 ministry

00:30:46.480 --> 00:30:46.920
 that you're

00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:47.220
 doing

00:30:47.220 --> 00:30:49.220
 not in

00:30:49.220 --> 00:30:49.360
 your

00:30:49.360 --> 00:30:49.920
 incredible

00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:50.339
 godly

00:30:50.339 --> 00:30:50.860
 character

00:30:50.860 --> 00:30:53.299
 even

00:30:53.299 --> 00:30:53.460
 though

00:30:53.460 --> 00:30:53.620
 that

00:30:53.620 --> 00:30:53.779
 might

00:30:53.779 --> 00:30:53.940
 be

00:30:53.940 --> 00:30:54.319
 true

00:30:54.319 --> 00:30:57.819
 Jesus

00:30:57.819 --> 00:30:58.259
 is not

00:30:58.259 --> 00:30:58.759
 the top

00:30:58.759 --> 00:30:59.000
 up

00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:02.240
 he's

00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:02.360
 the

00:31:02.360 --> 00:31:03.000
 exchange

00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:04.559
 he's

00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:04.720
 the

00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:05.180
 substitute

00:31:05.180 --> 00:31:08.660
 and in

00:31:08.660 --> 00:31:08.920
 him

00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:09.339
 and him

00:31:09.339 --> 00:31:09.720
 alone

00:31:09.720 --> 00:31:11.940
 can we

00:31:11.940 --> 00:31:12.200
 find

00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:12.759
 certainty

00:31:12.759 --> 00:31:15.039
 certainty

00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:15.380
 is the

00:31:15.380 --> 00:31:15.640
 debt

00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:16.299
 that we

00:31:16.299 --> 00:31:16.579
 owe to

00:31:16.579 --> 00:31:16.720
 the

00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:17.160
 protestant

00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:17.819
 reformation

00:31:17.819 --> 00:31:19.500
 the

00:31:19.500 --> 00:31:19.940
 possibility

00:31:19.940 --> 00:31:20.400
 of

00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:20.839
 assurance

00:31:20.839 --> 00:31:21.180
 and

00:31:21.180 --> 00:31:21.680
 security

00:31:21.680 --> 00:31:22.059
 in

00:31:22.059 --> 00:31:22.420
 Jesus

00:31:22.420 --> 00:31:23.220
 was

00:31:23.220 --> 00:31:23.380
 all

00:31:23.380 --> 00:31:23.539
 but

00:31:23.539 --> 00:31:24.019
 lost

00:31:24.019 --> 00:31:25.519
 prior

00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:25.640
 to

00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:25.759
 the

00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:26.400
 reformation

00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:29.339
 but

00:31:29.339 --> 00:31:29.620
 thank

00:31:29.620 --> 00:31:29.900
 god

00:31:29.900 --> 00:31:30.360
 500

00:31:30.360 --> 00:31:30.759
 years

00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:31.000
 ago

00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:31.220
 some

00:31:31.220 --> 00:31:31.480
 people

00:31:31.480 --> 00:31:31.779
 opened

00:31:31.779 --> 00:31:31.960
 their

00:31:31.960 --> 00:31:32.339
 bibles

00:31:32.339 --> 00:31:32.960
 and

00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:33.880
 rediscovered

00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:34.259
 it

00:31:34.259 --> 00:31:36.740
 rediscovered

00:31:36.740 --> 00:31:37.519
 security

00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:38.400
 and peace

00:31:38.400 --> 00:31:39.259
 forgiveness

00:31:39.259 --> 00:31:40.200
 grace

00:31:40.200 --> 00:31:40.880
 hope

00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:41.720
 love

00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:44.180
 and all

00:31:44.180 --> 00:31:44.480
 of it

00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:45.220
 in

00:31:45.220 --> 00:31:45.539
 Jesus

00:31:45.539 --> 00:31:45.980
 alone

00:31:45.980 --> 00:31:49.279
 and only

00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:50.200
 in

00:31:50.200 --> 00:31:50.480
 Jesus

00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:50.880
 alone

00:31:50.880 --> 00:31:54.799
 Jesus

00:31:54.799 --> 00:31:55.299
 has done

00:31:55.299 --> 00:31:55.620
 what you

00:31:55.620 --> 00:31:55.980
 cannot

00:31:55.980 --> 00:31:57.740
 he has

00:31:57.740 --> 00:31:58.059
 taken

00:31:58.059 --> 00:31:58.420
 what you

00:31:58.420 --> 00:31:58.900
 deserve

00:31:58.900 --> 00:32:02.579
 and he

00:32:02.579 --> 00:32:03.200
 invites you

00:32:03.200 --> 00:32:04.519
 to rest

00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:05.460
 securely

00:32:05.460 --> 00:32:05.960
 in that

00:32:06.120 --> 00:32:15.039
 heart

00:32:26.860 --> 00:32:27.279
 and there

00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:27.519
 you

00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:28.640
 know
