WEBVTT

00:00:00.340 --> 00:00:02.879
 Father, we come now to think upon your word.

00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:08.660
 We ask, Father, that your Holy Spirit would move and work in our lives

00:00:08.660 --> 00:00:15.960
 so that the very best of our minds, Father, might come to listen and attend to your word,

00:00:16.240 --> 00:00:20.859
 that we might have a humble spirit, Father, so that you might teach us,

00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:26.379
 that we might learn, that we might, if necessary, be rebuked, change how we think.

00:00:26.379 --> 00:00:29.480
 We ask, Father, that you help us to use the best of our mind.

00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:32.759
 We ask that you humble our minds so that our mind might be changed.

00:00:33.380 --> 00:00:37.780
 We ask that you make us hungry to know more of you and know more of your truth.

00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:44.399
 And at the same time, Father, we ask that you would grant us that even deeper humility, Father,

00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:48.320
 that acknowledges that unless you draw us to yourselves,

00:00:48.859 --> 00:00:54.060
 even the most brilliant mind will not understand you or know you in a saving way.

00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:59.320
 So, Father, we ask that you would do this wonderful work in our lives as we think upon your word,

00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:04.539
 and now all these things we ask in the name of Jesus, your Son and our Savior. Amen.

00:01:05.259 --> 00:01:06.159
 Please be seated.

00:01:10.399 --> 00:01:12.500
 So, it's good to be back.

00:01:13.140 --> 00:01:18.479
 If God wanted people to believe in him, why doesn't he do more to prove it to them?

00:01:18.859 --> 00:01:21.259
 Why doesn't he do miracles?

00:01:21.659 --> 00:01:23.120
 Why doesn't he show up?

00:01:23.620 --> 00:01:25.120
 Why doesn't he reveal himself?

00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:31.240
 And it's a very, very common idea, and I have to confess that for a long time I sort of thought that as well.

00:01:31.340 --> 00:01:35.060
 I sort of wish that God would show up in some particular way,

00:01:35.140 --> 00:01:38.980
 that there'd be some dramatic miracle that would make it easier for me to believe in him

00:01:38.980 --> 00:01:41.680
 or maybe help me to start to believe him for the very first time.

00:01:42.020 --> 00:01:42.980
 It's a very common thing.

00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:44.180
 Maybe some of you have thought that.

00:01:44.260 --> 00:01:45.880
 Maybe some of you are thinking that right now.

00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:50.780
 The Bible story that we're going to look at today has some interesting things to say about that, believe it or not.

00:01:50.979 --> 00:01:54.539
 Sort of some interesting observations in the form of a story.

00:01:55.140 --> 00:01:56.799
 So, it'd be a great help to me.

00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:58.879
 The words will be on the screen.

00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.739
 We're doing a sermon series called Real Jesus, Real Miracles.

00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:03.620
 We're going to look at a miracle story,

00:02:03.699 --> 00:02:06.959
 so something where Jesus shows up, where he does a remarkable miracle,

00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:10.900
 and we see how that impacts different people.

00:02:10.900 --> 00:02:14.159
 So, it'd be a great help if you have your own Bibles to open them up

00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:16.659
 because it can be very helpful to make notes in your own Bible

00:02:16.659 --> 00:02:19.500
 or just to see it in the one that you actually use yourself for reading.

00:02:20.180 --> 00:02:23.980
 And it's Luke chapter 17, verses 11 to 19.

00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:25.500
 That's the story that we're going to look at.

00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:28.060
 And it's interesting.

00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:30.840
 All of the other miracle stories that we've been looking at,

00:02:31.020 --> 00:02:34.580
 that we will look at over this series, are in several Gospels.

00:02:35.140 --> 00:02:38.580
 This story is only told in Luke.

00:02:38.580 --> 00:02:44.880
 Luke, but if you are an old Anglican, old in spirit, maybe not in body,

00:02:45.220 --> 00:02:47.600
 and you're used to the old lectionary,

00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:51.080
 this story actually is one of the stories that's read every year

00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:52.439
 in the cycle of the readings.

00:02:52.740 --> 00:02:55.100
 So, the prayer book thought it was an important story,

00:02:55.160 --> 00:02:56.520
 and that's one of the reasons I put it down,

00:02:56.600 --> 00:02:58.740
 even though it's the only miracle story we'll look at

00:02:58.740 --> 00:03:01.520
 that's only found in one of the Gospels, not all of them.

00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.020
 And just before we look at this story as well,

00:03:04.100 --> 00:03:05.939
 just to understand a little bit about it,

00:03:06.320 --> 00:03:07.620
 what we're looking at now,

00:03:07.620 --> 00:03:09.400
 you know, I love saying this,

00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:12.060
 you probably start to fade out when I start to say it.

00:03:12.300 --> 00:03:13.879
 It now is in the Bible,

00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:15.900
 and it all looks fancy and fancy paper,

00:03:16.060 --> 00:03:18.939
 but what we're reading when we're reading the Gospel of Luke,

00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:21.840
 look at how it begins, look at how Acts begins.

00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:24.280
 There was a doctor who was a pagan,

00:03:24.860 --> 00:03:26.040
 who became a Christian,

00:03:26.659 --> 00:03:30.319
 and he decided that he would write a biography of Jesus

00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:32.659
 based on eyewitness testimony.

00:03:32.659 --> 00:03:34.699
 And that's what we have in front of us.

00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:37.419
 It was probably written in the mid to late 60s,

00:03:37.539 --> 00:03:41.280
 so it was written within 30 years of the death and resurrection of Jesus.

00:03:41.500 --> 00:03:44.419
 It was written while there were many eyewitnesses around.

00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:45.599
 You could have just said,

00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:47.639
 sorry, but that's not right.

00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:48.699
 You got that wrong.

00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:49.919
 That didn't happen.

00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:52.180
 And it's an eyewitness biography

00:03:52.180 --> 00:03:55.199
 written while many eyewitnesses were alive,

00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:56.759
 and that's what we're reading,

00:03:57.079 --> 00:03:59.879
 and here it goes with verse 11 of chapter 17.

00:04:00.239 --> 00:04:01.419
 It starts this way.

00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:02.879
 It says,

00:04:03.459 --> 00:04:05.879
 on the way to Jerusalem,

00:04:06.799 --> 00:04:10.560
 Jesus was passing along between Samaria and Galilee.

00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:13.000
 Now, just pause here for a second.

00:04:13.379 --> 00:04:15.280
 If you go back, remember this is a story.

00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:17.539
 It's a biography.

00:04:17.719 --> 00:04:18.279
 It's a story.

00:04:18.740 --> 00:04:20.819
 And the way that Luke writes the Gospel,

00:04:21.019 --> 00:04:21.539
 the story,

00:04:21.659 --> 00:04:23.139
 is that in chapter 9,

00:04:23.139 --> 00:04:25.459
 Jesus reveals to his disciples,

00:04:25.459 --> 00:04:27.800
 he's been with them for a couple of years,

00:04:27.899 --> 00:04:29.979
 but he reveals to them in chapter 9

00:04:29.979 --> 00:04:31.919
 that he's going to start going to Jerusalem,

00:04:32.459 --> 00:04:33.740
 and that he's going to go to Jerusalem,

00:04:33.740 --> 00:04:35.360
 and this time when he goes to Jerusalem,

00:04:35.939 --> 00:04:38.120
 something very different is going to happen.

00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:39.599
 This time when he goes to Jerusalem,

00:04:39.819 --> 00:04:40.959
 he's going to be captured,

00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:42.699
 he's going to die on the cross,

00:04:42.740 --> 00:04:43.860
 and he's going to rise from the dead.

00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:46.839
 And everything that happens in the Gospel,

00:04:46.979 --> 00:04:49.120
 in this story from Luke chapter 9,

00:04:49.419 --> 00:04:52.879
 right up until he actually gets to Jerusalem,

00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:55.920
 it's all Jesus walking towards Jerusalem.

00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:57.740
 And it's all,

00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:00.540
 it's going to be reiterated time and time and time again

00:05:00.540 --> 00:05:01.360
 to the disciples.

00:05:01.939 --> 00:05:02.560
 By the way,

00:05:02.699 --> 00:05:03.680
 we're going to Jerusalem.

00:05:03.899 --> 00:05:04.360
 In Jerusalem,

00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:06.540
 I'm going to die on the cross,

00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:08.420
 and I'm going to rise from the dead.

00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:11.540
 And so he's on his way to Jerusalem.

00:05:12.100 --> 00:05:14.360
 And there's an interesting thing here,

00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:16.740
 which isn't translated into the English,

00:05:16.860 --> 00:05:18.659
 and it happens twice in this story.

00:05:19.180 --> 00:05:20.340
 There's a word,

00:05:20.540 --> 00:05:21.620
 a phrase,

00:05:21.820 --> 00:05:22.780
 in the story,

00:05:22.820 --> 00:05:24.260
 which isn't translated into English,

00:05:24.260 --> 00:05:27.400
 because it messes up the flow of the English.

00:05:28.060 --> 00:05:28.900
 But what it is,

00:05:28.939 --> 00:05:29.520
 is it says,

00:05:29.620 --> 00:05:30.820
 it happened that.

00:05:32.300 --> 00:05:33.140
 I was just,

00:05:33.520 --> 00:05:36.720
 on Friday,

00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:39.200
 when I was working in a certain coffee shop,

00:05:39.580 --> 00:05:40.540
 on my sermon,

00:05:41.100 --> 00:05:43.379
 one of the people who talks to me regularly,

00:05:43.580 --> 00:05:44.440
 come up and says,

00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:44.700
 well,

00:05:44.740 --> 00:05:45.980
 what are you preaching on this week?

00:05:46.379 --> 00:05:47.800
 And so I started to tell him the story

00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:48.980
 that I was going to be preaching on.

00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:50.140
 And he said,

00:05:50.180 --> 00:05:50.280
 well,

00:05:50.280 --> 00:05:51.520
 we know that that can't happen.

00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:53.100
 There's no miracles can't happen.

00:05:53.259 --> 00:05:55.920
 So is it an allegory?

00:05:56.060 --> 00:05:56.819
 Is it a myth?

00:05:56.960 --> 00:05:57.140
 Like,

00:05:57.480 --> 00:05:58.259
 what's going on?

00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:00.420
 And I just paused.

00:06:00.540 --> 00:06:00.759
 I said,

00:06:00.840 --> 00:06:00.939
 like,

00:06:00.980 --> 00:06:02.040
 one moment here.

00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:03.800
 Here's the ground rule.

00:06:03.860 --> 00:06:05.319
 This fellow that talked to me,

00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:06.520
 he's written several books

00:06:06.520 --> 00:06:11.400
 of a sort of a cultural analysis.

00:06:11.860 --> 00:06:13.400
 Those are the types of books that he's written.

00:06:14.359 --> 00:06:15.939
 And so I said to him,

00:06:15.939 --> 00:06:16.259
 listen here,

00:06:16.339 --> 00:06:17.799
 hold on for a second here.

00:06:17.819 --> 00:06:18.919
 You have to understand something.

00:06:19.479 --> 00:06:20.560
 And he had one of his books

00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:21.560
 right with him on the table.

00:06:21.679 --> 00:06:21.839
 I said,

00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:23.560
 if I took that book of yours

00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:24.899
 and started reading it

00:06:24.899 --> 00:06:25.519
 and said to you,

00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:26.939
 this is wonderful poetry,

00:06:27.799 --> 00:06:28.620
 you'd be offended.

00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:29.979
 You'd say,

00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:30.699
 it's not poetry.

00:06:30.779 --> 00:06:31.639
 You don't know how to read.

00:06:32.359 --> 00:06:33.959
 It's a work of cultural criticism.

00:06:34.459 --> 00:06:35.079
 Or if I said,

00:06:35.179 --> 00:06:36.379
 this is a wonderful myth.

00:06:36.500 --> 00:06:36.759
 He said,

00:06:36.799 --> 00:06:36.919
 no,

00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:37.060
 no,

00:06:37.060 --> 00:06:37.679
 it's not a myth.

00:06:37.899 --> 00:06:39.019
 I'm giving you history.

00:06:39.019 --> 00:06:40.799
 I'm giving you sociological facts.

00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:41.540
 It's not a myth.

00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:42.780
 You'd be offended

00:06:42.780 --> 00:06:44.920
 if I said that it was a type of writing

00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:45.540
 that it isn't.

00:06:45.939 --> 00:06:46.420
 So I said,

00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:47.139
 what you need to do

00:06:47.139 --> 00:06:48.920
 is you need to extend that

00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:50.079
 same

00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:53.220
 respect

00:06:53.220 --> 00:06:55.160
 to the story.

00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:57.379
 And I can tell you that Luke,

00:06:57.519 --> 00:06:58.000
 and I said,

00:06:58.060 --> 00:06:58.519
 you go back,

00:06:58.580 --> 00:06:59.160
 just the same thing

00:06:59.160 --> 00:06:59.840
 I just said to you.

00:07:00.379 --> 00:07:01.639
 69 times

00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:03.180
 in the Gospel of Luke,

00:07:03.620 --> 00:07:04.100
 he says,

00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:05.080
 and it happened that.

00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:06.840
 It's a marker to say

00:07:06.840 --> 00:07:07.939
 that I'm writing history.

00:07:08.060 --> 00:07:09.459
 It's not once upon a time,

00:07:09.620 --> 00:07:09.779
 it's,

00:07:10.100 --> 00:07:10.959
 and it happened that.

00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:12.439
 And if you read the beginning

00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:12.899
 of the book,

00:07:12.939 --> 00:07:14.000
 he says he's writing a biography.

00:07:14.259 --> 00:07:15.500
 So here's the thing.

00:07:15.540 --> 00:07:16.219
 I almost said his name.

00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:16.740
 Here's the thing,

00:07:16.819 --> 00:07:17.040
 Bob.

00:07:17.420 --> 00:07:19.579
 You might say that he's full of bleep.

00:07:20.300 --> 00:07:21.879
 You might say that he's a liar.

00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:24.360
 You might say all sorts of things,

00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:25.620
 but what you can't say

00:07:25.620 --> 00:07:27.540
 is that it's a myth or an allegory.

00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:30.259
 He's claiming he's writing history,

00:07:30.259 --> 00:07:32.159
 and you have to deal with it

00:07:32.159 --> 00:07:32.659
 on that level.

00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:34.659
 And this is one of those times

00:07:34.659 --> 00:07:35.399
 he nodded and said,

00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:35.560
 well,

00:07:35.620 --> 00:07:36.639
 that makes a bit of sense.

00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:37.300
 I mean, he's a writer.

00:07:37.379 --> 00:07:38.300
 He understands that.

00:07:38.500 --> 00:07:39.860
 So he still thinks

00:07:39.860 --> 00:07:40.639
 it's a bunch of hooey.

00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:41.439
 He thinks it's wrong,

00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:42.860
 but at least he now understands

00:07:42.860 --> 00:07:44.219
 that it's history.

00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:46.339
 And so that's what happens here.

00:07:46.459 --> 00:07:47.800
 Luke is recording this story.

00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:48.419
 And once again,

00:07:48.479 --> 00:07:49.479
 on the way to Jerusalem,

00:07:50.419 --> 00:07:52.159
 and because you haven't been reading

00:07:52.159 --> 00:07:52.759
 from the beginning,

00:07:52.919 --> 00:07:53.120
 you don't,

00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:55.060
 there's this reminder why

00:07:55.060 --> 00:07:56.240
 the first time Jesus said

00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:57.079
 he was going to Jerusalem,

00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:58.060
 he told them,

00:07:58.139 --> 00:07:58.919
 I'm going there to die.

00:07:58.919 --> 00:07:59.300
 So now,

00:07:59.379 --> 00:07:59.699
 okay,

00:07:59.819 --> 00:08:00.740
 he's going there to die.

00:08:01.419 --> 00:08:02.639
 And he was passing along

00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:03.899
 between Samaria and Galilee.

00:08:04.019 --> 00:08:04.620
 Verse 12,

00:08:04.620 --> 00:08:06.860
 and as Jesus entered a village,

00:08:08.420 --> 00:08:10.379
 he was met by 10 lepers

00:08:10.379 --> 00:08:12.280
 who stood at a distance

00:08:12.280 --> 00:08:14.420
 and lifted up their voices saying,

00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:15.280
 Jesus,

00:08:15.840 --> 00:08:16.620
 master,

00:08:17.100 --> 00:08:18.480
 have mercy on us.

00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:19.740
 Now,

00:08:19.780 --> 00:08:20.240
 just sort of,

00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:21.019
 you want to pause.

00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:23.319
 I don't know if there's any lepers

00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:23.879
 in Ottawa.

00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:24.699
 I mean,

00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:25.939
 like literal lepers.

00:08:26.060 --> 00:08:27.259
 There's lots of social lepers

00:08:27.259 --> 00:08:27.699
 in Ottawa,

00:08:27.860 --> 00:08:29.259
 but that's a separate type of thing.

00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:30.959
 People who aren't sort of welcome

00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:32.039
 in polite society.

00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:32.879
 And,

00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:33.899
 but,

00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:35.219
 there's still,

00:08:35.299 --> 00:08:35.779
 I think it's,

00:08:35.959 --> 00:08:36.899
 I looked it up on the internet,

00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:37.879
 so it has to be true.

00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:39.899
 I think it said something

00:08:39.899 --> 00:08:40.799
 about somewhere between,

00:08:40.899 --> 00:08:41.259
 actually,

00:08:41.500 --> 00:08:42.139
 it's one of those things

00:08:42.139 --> 00:08:42.699
 that has to be true,

00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:44.120
 but I saw two different numbers

00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:44.759
 on the internet.

00:08:45.199 --> 00:08:45.699
 There you go.

00:08:46.219 --> 00:08:48.240
 100 to 200,000 cases

00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:48.919
 of leprosy

00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:49.620
 are diagnosed

00:08:49.620 --> 00:08:50.779
 every year.

00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:51.980
 New cases are diagnosed

00:08:51.980 --> 00:08:52.339
 every year

00:08:52.339 --> 00:08:53.399
 in the United States of America.

00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:54.179
 United States.

00:08:56.259 --> 00:08:57.799
 All in the southern states.

00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:00.039
 And there's a,

00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:01.919
 I can't remember what it was,

00:09:01.959 --> 00:09:02.399
 but it was like

00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:03.799
 several million new cases

00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:04.479
 of leprosy

00:09:04.479 --> 00:09:05.699
 are diagnosed every year.

00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:07.199
 Over half of them

00:09:07.199 --> 00:09:07.799
 in India.

00:09:09.219 --> 00:09:10.019
 But it's a,

00:09:10.019 --> 00:09:11.139
 it's a terrible disease.

00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:12.199
 It's now curable.

00:09:12.359 --> 00:09:12.740
 And in fact,

00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:14.079
 the World Health Organization

00:09:14.079 --> 00:09:16.419
 funded through

00:09:16.419 --> 00:09:17.719
 richer countries,

00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:19.059
 primarily the United States,

00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:19.539
 of course,

00:09:19.599 --> 00:09:20.859
 but also probably Canada

00:09:20.859 --> 00:09:21.599
 in a small way.

00:09:22.219 --> 00:09:23.159
 Anywhere in the world

00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:24.139
 that a person's diagnosed

00:09:24.139 --> 00:09:24.819
 with leprosy,

00:09:24.899 --> 00:09:25.559
 all the medication,

00:09:25.699 --> 00:09:26.379
 drugs are free.

00:09:26.379 --> 00:09:28.139
 And it doesn't reverse

00:09:28.139 --> 00:09:29.019
 the problem,

00:09:29.019 --> 00:09:29.980
 but it will at least

00:09:29.980 --> 00:09:30.740
 heal the problem.

00:09:31.259 --> 00:09:33.279
 But in the ancient society,

00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:33.860
 and it would be

00:09:33.860 --> 00:09:34.820
 probably the same now

00:09:34.820 --> 00:09:35.740
 if you've seen pictures

00:09:35.740 --> 00:09:36.200
 of lepers

00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:37.700
 with their blindness,

00:09:37.980 --> 00:09:38.759
 the disfigurement

00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:39.659
 of their fingers,

00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:40.659
 the disfigurement

00:09:40.659 --> 00:09:41.460
 on their feet,

00:09:41.620 --> 00:09:42.799
 maybe missing limbs

00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:43.799
 as well altogether,

00:09:45.539 --> 00:09:47.379
 they were outcasts.

00:09:48.820 --> 00:09:49.960
 They weren't allowed

00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:50.759
 to be part,

00:09:51.059 --> 00:09:52.159
 and especially in this Jewish

00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:53.340
 and in Samaritan culture,

00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:53.980
 they weren't allowed

00:09:53.980 --> 00:09:54.779
 to really be part

00:09:54.779 --> 00:09:55.220
 of the community.

00:09:55.299 --> 00:09:56.159
 They had to live separate.

00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:56.879
 They could no longer

00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:57.980
 live with their wives,

00:09:58.559 --> 00:09:59.839
 their wife or their kids.

00:10:00.059 --> 00:10:01.579
 They couldn't go to events.

00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:02.620
 They couldn't go to parties.

00:10:02.860 --> 00:10:04.799
 They had to live separate.

00:10:05.579 --> 00:10:06.860
 They were unclean,

00:10:07.219 --> 00:10:09.139
 not able to be part of society.

00:10:09.539 --> 00:10:11.000
 So when they're standing there

00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:11.719
 from a distance,

00:10:11.719 --> 00:10:12.759
 it's not because

00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:13.799
 they're just sort of like

00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:14.819
 heckling Jesus

00:10:14.819 --> 00:10:15.980
 as he walks by,

00:10:16.079 --> 00:10:16.240
 you know,

00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:17.100
 hey, dude,

00:10:17.199 --> 00:10:17.419
 you know,

00:10:17.459 --> 00:10:17.659
 or anything.

00:10:17.699 --> 00:10:18.419
 No, it's not like that.

00:10:18.860 --> 00:10:19.319
 They're just,

00:10:19.439 --> 00:10:20.459
 they're respecting

00:10:20.459 --> 00:10:21.360
 the social norm

00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:22.860
 because bad things

00:10:22.860 --> 00:10:23.500
 would happen to them

00:10:23.500 --> 00:10:24.559
 if they disregarded it.

00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:26.179
 And it's very interesting.

00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:27.339
 It's important to the story.

00:10:27.459 --> 00:10:28.559
 Remember I said how this,

00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:30.579
 I began by saying

00:10:30.579 --> 00:10:31.279
 how people

00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:32.879
 sort of think,

00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:35.019
 why doesn't God

00:10:35.019 --> 00:10:35.879
 just show up

00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:37.299
 in a very powerful way?

00:10:37.339 --> 00:10:37.899
 And if he did,

00:10:37.959 --> 00:10:38.859
 then I'd believe in him.

00:10:38.860 --> 00:10:41.120
 And in this particular case here,

00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:42.360
 they say,

00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:43.039
 it's a very odd thing.

00:10:43.139 --> 00:10:43.300
 They say,

00:10:43.379 --> 00:10:44.259
 Jesus, Master,

00:10:44.340 --> 00:10:45.500
 have mercy on us.

00:10:45.539 --> 00:10:46.899
 And it's the only place

00:10:46.899 --> 00:10:48.240
 in all of the New Testament

00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:49.240
 that the word Master

00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:50.120
 is found,

00:10:50.379 --> 00:10:51.440
 but it's a completely

00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:52.840
 non-religious term.

00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:53.620
 It's boss.

00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:54.620
 Hey, boss.

00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:55.879
 Boss man.

00:10:57.039 --> 00:10:57.960
 Hey, boss.

00:10:58.800 --> 00:10:59.919
 Have mercy on us.

00:11:00.940 --> 00:11:02.600
 And have mercy on us

00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:03.300
 is an indirect

00:11:03.300 --> 00:11:04.420
 and polite way

00:11:04.420 --> 00:11:04.920
 of saying,

00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:06.259
 could you heal us?

00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:08.139
 They've heard about him.

00:11:08.139 --> 00:11:09.360
 They're not making any claim

00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:10.519
 that he's a rabbi,

00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:11.639
 that he's special.

00:11:12.100 --> 00:11:13.419
 They're just calling him boss.

00:11:13.659 --> 00:11:14.819
 Very neutral term.

00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:16.779
 And they ask indirectly

00:11:16.779 --> 00:11:18.580
 that he'd heal them.

00:11:20.319 --> 00:11:21.399
 I don't know how many of you

00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:21.939
 have seen a wedding

00:11:21.939 --> 00:11:22.559
 that I've done.

00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:23.559
 I have lots of fun

00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:24.199
 at the rehearsal

00:11:24.199 --> 00:11:26.679
 when I explain something

00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:27.799
 to the couple

00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:28.659
 that's getting married.

00:11:29.059 --> 00:11:29.799
 And if you've been

00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:30.299
 in the wedding,

00:11:31.139 --> 00:11:32.340
 sometimes I say something,

00:11:32.439 --> 00:11:33.139
 sometimes I don't.

00:11:33.500 --> 00:11:34.559
 But I like to say

00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:35.779
 that there's an Anglican

00:11:35.779 --> 00:11:36.340
 polite,

00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:37.799
 indirect way

00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:38.359
 of saying,

00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:39.959
 you may kiss the bride.

00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:41.579
 And I say,

00:11:41.979 --> 00:11:42.620
 if you've ever heard

00:11:42.620 --> 00:11:43.339
 a wedding that I've done,

00:11:43.439 --> 00:11:44.259
 I'll say,

00:11:44.419 --> 00:11:45.679
 you may now greet each other,

00:11:45.979 --> 00:11:47.679
 which means kiss.

00:11:48.439 --> 00:11:49.099
 But it's just,

00:11:49.179 --> 00:11:50.120
 it's a bit of an indirect,

00:11:50.319 --> 00:11:51.359
 it's a very old

00:11:51.359 --> 00:11:52.399
 prayer book

00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:55.139
 way of referring to it.

00:11:55.379 --> 00:11:56.099
 And here,

00:11:56.339 --> 00:11:57.139
 they're indirectly

00:11:57.139 --> 00:11:58.339
 making a request

00:11:58.339 --> 00:11:59.019
 for healing.

00:11:59.539 --> 00:12:00.199
 And obviously,

00:12:00.459 --> 00:12:01.839
 if he's going to heal them,

00:12:01.859 --> 00:12:02.240
 it's going to be

00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:02.979
 an act of mercy

00:12:02.979 --> 00:12:03.599
 on his part,

00:12:03.659 --> 00:12:04.459
 that he's paying attention

00:12:04.460 --> 00:12:04.860
 to them,

00:12:05.340 --> 00:12:06.180
 he's showing them mercy.

00:12:06.300 --> 00:12:06.940
 But they're asking

00:12:06.940 --> 00:12:07.440
 for healing.

00:12:07.920 --> 00:12:08.800
 So what does Jesus do?

00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:10.360
 Does he go over?

00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:11.139
 Does he touch them?

00:12:11.180 --> 00:12:11.480
 What does he do?

00:12:11.500 --> 00:12:12.360
 No, he keeps

00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:13.160
 the same distance

00:12:13.160 --> 00:12:14.220
 in this particular case.

00:12:14.560 --> 00:12:15.220
 Look what happens

00:12:15.220 --> 00:12:16.620
 in verse 14.

00:12:17.740 --> 00:12:19.120
 When Jesus saw them,

00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:19.900
 he said to them,

00:12:20.060 --> 00:12:20.560
 he would have had

00:12:20.560 --> 00:12:21.259
 to yell back,

00:12:21.379 --> 00:12:22.580
 go and show yourselves

00:12:22.580 --> 00:12:23.440
 to the priests.

00:12:24.019 --> 00:12:25.300
 And as they went,

00:12:26.040 --> 00:12:27.320
 they were cleansed.

00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:28.900
 Now,

00:12:29.980 --> 00:12:32.200
 they hear what

00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:33.140
 he asked them to do

00:12:33.140 --> 00:12:34.680
 and they go.

00:12:34.780 --> 00:12:34.879
 Now,

00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:36.180
 they've asked for healing

00:12:36.180 --> 00:12:37.860
 in an indirect type of way.

00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:40.060
 And Jesus says,

00:12:40.160 --> 00:12:41.040
 I'm going to heal you

00:12:41.040 --> 00:12:42.260
 in an indirect way.

00:12:43.460 --> 00:12:44.840
 Because what they would

00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:45.340
 have known

00:12:45.340 --> 00:12:46.920
 is that the only way

00:12:46.920 --> 00:12:48.200
 that they could rejoin

00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:48.920
 society,

00:12:49.160 --> 00:12:50.020
 that they could go back

00:12:50.020 --> 00:12:50.920
 to making money,

00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:51.960
 having businesses,

00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:53.880
 getting married,

00:12:54.760 --> 00:12:55.900
 playing sports,

00:12:56.160 --> 00:12:57.180
 going to the temple,

00:12:57.320 --> 00:12:58.620
 going to whatever,

00:12:58.760 --> 00:12:59.220
 the synagogue,

00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:00.000
 the only way

00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:00.900
 they could do that

00:13:00.900 --> 00:13:02.660
 is if a priest

00:13:02.660 --> 00:13:04.700
 authenticates

00:13:04.700 --> 00:13:05.820
 that the leprosy

00:13:05.820 --> 00:13:06.360
 is gone.

00:13:07.700 --> 00:13:08.620
 So they would hear

00:13:08.620 --> 00:13:09.379
 Jesus saying,

00:13:09.540 --> 00:13:10.560
 go to the priests

00:13:10.560 --> 00:13:11.760
 and show yourselves.

00:13:12.640 --> 00:13:13.580
 And they would take it.

00:13:14.060 --> 00:13:14.700
 But that means

00:13:14.700 --> 00:13:15.560
 that somehow or another,

00:13:15.660 --> 00:13:16.340
 they don't know how,

00:13:16.420 --> 00:13:17.160
 that they'll be healed

00:13:17.160 --> 00:13:17.760
 as they go.

00:13:18.760 --> 00:13:19.740
 And as they go,

00:13:20.160 --> 00:13:21.340
 they're cleansed.

00:13:22.060 --> 00:13:22.920
 You'll see in a moment

00:13:22.920 --> 00:13:24.280
 that that also means healed.

00:13:24.580 --> 00:13:25.360
 That actually,

00:13:25.920 --> 00:13:27.180
 they're healed

00:13:27.179 --> 00:13:28.500
 the leprosy is gone

00:13:28.500 --> 00:13:29.479
 and that they're now

00:13:29.479 --> 00:13:30.019
 clean.

00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:30.719
 They're now able

00:13:30.719 --> 00:13:31.939
 to rejoin society.

00:13:32.059 --> 00:13:32.579
 That's what Jesus

00:13:32.579 --> 00:13:33.459
 does for them.

00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:35.139
 Now you might wonder,

00:13:35.219 --> 00:13:36.079
 how is it that they know

00:13:36.079 --> 00:13:37.019
 they were cleansed?

00:13:39.539 --> 00:13:40.379
 How did they know?

00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:42.199
 Well, there's two things

00:13:42.199 --> 00:13:43.500
 that went on here probably.

00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:45.379
 And the first thing,

00:13:45.479 --> 00:13:46.439
 which had to be there,

00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:47.399
 it has to be there.

00:13:47.479 --> 00:13:48.239
 If it's not there,

00:13:48.299 --> 00:13:48.939
 it's not a healing

00:13:48.939 --> 00:13:49.620
 or a cleansing.

00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:51.759
 And this is actually sort of,

00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:52.919
 if you just try to picture it,

00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:53.439
 I don't know if you have

00:13:53.439 --> 00:13:54.240
 an imagination

00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:55.539
 that you could try to picture

00:13:55.539 --> 00:13:56.060
 what would happen,

00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:56.860
 it would be that

00:13:56.860 --> 00:13:57.820
 they're walking along

00:13:57.820 --> 00:13:59.180
 and all of a sudden

00:13:59.180 --> 00:14:00.360
 as they're walking along,

00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:02.259
 I'll take off my sand,

00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:02.720
 all of a sudden

00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:03.580
 as they're walking along

00:14:03.580 --> 00:14:04.840
 they hit something

00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:05.279
 and they go,

00:14:05.460 --> 00:14:05.680
 ow!

00:14:07.860 --> 00:14:08.620
 And then there'd be

00:14:08.620 --> 00:14:09.399
 this pause.

00:14:10.940 --> 00:14:11.659
 And one of them said,

00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:13.519
 did you just say ow?

00:14:15.700 --> 00:14:16.259
 And you go,

00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:17.820
 my foot hurts.

00:14:17.820 --> 00:14:20.460
 I'm healed.

00:14:23.620 --> 00:14:24.640
 Experiencing pain

00:14:24.640 --> 00:14:25.800
 would show them

00:14:25.800 --> 00:14:26.960
 that they'd been healed.

00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:30.040
 Over a third of all people

00:14:30.040 --> 00:14:30.860
 with leprosy,

00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:32.000
 loose,

00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:33.160
 have numbness

00:14:33.160 --> 00:14:34.520
 and no longer feel pain

00:14:34.520 --> 00:14:35.940
 on their face,

00:14:36.379 --> 00:14:36.840
 their arms,

00:14:36.920 --> 00:14:37.540
 and their legs.

00:14:38.560 --> 00:14:39.480
 It's one of the main reasons

00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:40.040
 why they end up

00:14:40.040 --> 00:14:41.379
 having stumps for fingers

00:14:41.379 --> 00:14:42.220
 and losing limbs

00:14:42.220 --> 00:14:43.100
 because they can have

00:14:43.100 --> 00:14:44.480
 their hand in the fire

00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:45.520
 and not feel the fire.

00:14:45.980 --> 00:14:47.460
 They can drop a large rock

00:14:47.460 --> 00:14:48.019
 on their foot

00:14:48.019 --> 00:14:48.879
 and not feel it.

00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:51.620
 They won't feel

00:14:51.620 --> 00:14:52.800
 the pain of the infection

00:14:52.800 --> 00:14:53.580
 to have it clean.

00:14:53.700 --> 00:14:55.040
 They don't feel pain.

00:14:57.960 --> 00:14:58.580
 And so,

00:14:58.700 --> 00:14:59.560
 incontrovertibly,

00:14:59.700 --> 00:15:00.320
 one of the ways

00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:00.960
 that they would know

00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:01.660
 as they're walking

00:15:01.660 --> 00:15:03.220
 that they'd been healed

00:15:03.220 --> 00:15:04.600
 is when they go,

00:15:05.259 --> 00:15:05.680
 ouch!

00:15:06.920 --> 00:15:07.280
 In fact,

00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:07.759
 it could have been

00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:09.220
 a very, very funny situation.

00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:09.940
 It could be that

00:15:09.940 --> 00:15:10.580
 all of a sudden

00:15:10.580 --> 00:15:11.879
 you'd see them,

00:15:12.259 --> 00:15:12.980
 you try it!

00:15:12.980 --> 00:15:14.040
 And they kick a rock,

00:15:14.259 --> 00:15:14.620
 ouch!

00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:15.180
 That hurts!

00:15:15.300 --> 00:15:16.080
 And before you know it,

00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:17.220
 they're crying with the pain

00:15:17.220 --> 00:15:18.000
 and laughing

00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:18.920
 and it would look like

00:15:18.920 --> 00:15:19.740
 the weirdest thing

00:15:19.740 --> 00:15:20.240
 in the world.

00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:22.740
 Ten guys hurting themselves

00:15:22.740 --> 00:15:23.820
 and cheering

00:15:23.820 --> 00:15:24.960
 and high-fiving

00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:26.240
 and laughing

00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:28.180
 because they're healed.

00:15:28.560 --> 00:15:30.379
 They feel pain.

00:15:31.899 --> 00:15:33.540
 The leprosy's gone.

00:15:34.060 --> 00:15:34.500
 The leprosy's gone.

00:15:34.500 --> 00:15:39.740
 Now, it could very well be

00:15:39.740 --> 00:15:40.080
 as well

00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:41.019
 that at the same time

00:15:41.019 --> 00:15:41.860
 that they feel pain

00:15:41.860 --> 00:15:43.059
 that Jesus does

00:15:43.059 --> 00:15:43.980
 this other miracle

00:15:43.980 --> 00:15:44.500
 as well

00:15:44.500 --> 00:15:44.759
 that

00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:47.320
 the fingers

00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:48.379
 that were gone

00:15:48.379 --> 00:15:49.700
 are there.

00:15:50.860 --> 00:15:51.740
 The toes

00:15:51.740 --> 00:15:52.440
 that were gone

00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:53.700
 are there.

00:15:54.379 --> 00:15:55.059
 The eye

00:15:55.059 --> 00:15:55.899
 that was blind

00:15:55.899 --> 00:15:57.259
 can now see.

00:15:58.659 --> 00:15:59.820
 The Bible's not clear.

00:15:59.919 --> 00:16:00.799
 It could very well be

00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:01.799
 that that's also part

00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:02.580
 of what the miracle is.

00:16:02.580 --> 00:16:03.720
 But it's also really important

00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:04.360
 to understand

00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:06.620
 that if

00:16:06.620 --> 00:16:08.100
 their fingers

00:16:08.100 --> 00:16:08.940
 were regrown

00:16:08.940 --> 00:16:09.759
 and their eye

00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:10.800
 was remade

00:16:10.800 --> 00:16:11.800
 and their foot

00:16:11.800 --> 00:16:12.759
 was regrown

00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:14.840
 but there was no pain,

00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:18.759
 they would only be

00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:19.740
 in deeper despair.

00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:22.680
 Because how much despair

00:16:22.680 --> 00:16:23.280
 would it be

00:16:23.280 --> 00:16:25.060
 to have your fingers

00:16:25.060 --> 00:16:25.580
 regrow

00:16:25.580 --> 00:16:29.000
 but you know

00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:29.740
 that the leprosy

00:16:29.740 --> 00:16:30.440
 is still there

00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:32.100
 and you're going

00:16:32.100 --> 00:16:32.600
 to be banging

00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:33.160
 your finger

00:16:33.160 --> 00:16:34.080
 and banging your toe

00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:35.139
 and before you know it

00:16:35.139 --> 00:16:36.620
 you're back

00:16:36.620 --> 00:16:39.460
 to all of the disfigurement.

00:16:40.060 --> 00:16:41.020
 You haven't been healed.

00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:43.080
 So whether or not

00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:44.120
 Jesus actually

00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:44.820
 regrows fingers,

00:16:44.900 --> 00:16:45.500
 I think he did.

00:16:45.580 --> 00:16:46.000
 I think he,

00:16:46.180 --> 00:16:46.720
 all of a sudden

00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:47.440
 there were fingers,

00:16:47.560 --> 00:16:48.139
 there were toes,

00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:48.780
 there was an eye

00:16:48.780 --> 00:16:49.640
 but at the same time

00:16:49.640 --> 00:16:51.820
 to cure the leprosy

00:16:51.820 --> 00:16:52.700
 there was

00:16:52.700 --> 00:16:53.660
 the restoration

00:16:53.659 --> 00:16:54.939
 of the nerve endings,

00:16:55.079 --> 00:16:56.019
 the disease is gone,

00:16:56.100 --> 00:16:58.159
 they feel pain.

00:17:00.419 --> 00:17:01.419
 That's what they do.

00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:05.259
 Remember I said to you

00:17:05.259 --> 00:17:07.159
 that what Luke

00:17:07.159 --> 00:17:07.980
 is writing here

00:17:07.980 --> 00:17:08.659
 is he's claiming

00:17:08.659 --> 00:17:09.879
 this is a true story.

00:17:10.379 --> 00:17:11.019
 This is something

00:17:11.019 --> 00:17:12.019
 that really happened.

00:17:13.099 --> 00:17:14.559
 If Luke was able

00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:15.099
 to come

00:17:15.099 --> 00:17:15.759
 and be here

00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:16.500
 amongst Canadians

00:17:16.500 --> 00:17:16.980
 he would say

00:17:16.980 --> 00:17:17.960
 that if you could have

00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:19.099
 a time machine

00:17:19.099 --> 00:17:20.180
 and go back in time

00:17:20.180 --> 00:17:21.099
 you would see this

00:17:21.099 --> 00:17:22.279
 happen yourself as well.

00:17:22.339 --> 00:17:22.940
 If I took you

00:17:22.940 --> 00:17:23.860
 to the right village

00:17:23.860 --> 00:17:25.200
 you would see

00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:26.200
 this happen yourself.

00:17:26.320 --> 00:17:27.160
 This really happened.

00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:28.460
 It's a remarkable miracle.

00:17:29.620 --> 00:17:30.740
 It's not a spell.

00:17:30.900 --> 00:17:31.660
 It's not medicine.

00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:32.779
 It's not prayer.

00:17:32.940 --> 00:17:33.779
 Jesus doesn't say

00:17:33.779 --> 00:17:34.860
 Father heal them.

00:17:35.380 --> 00:17:36.000
 He doesn't come

00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:36.600
 and touch them.

00:17:36.620 --> 00:17:37.460
 He doesn't do anything.

00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:38.240
 He doesn't do anything

00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:39.160
 like the magicians

00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:40.460
 and the sorcerers do

00:17:40.460 --> 00:17:41.320
 that would have been

00:17:41.320 --> 00:17:42.240
 present in Jewish

00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:43.080
 and Samaritan

00:17:43.080 --> 00:17:44.080
 and pagan culture.

00:17:44.420 --> 00:17:45.140
 He doesn't do anything

00:17:45.140 --> 00:17:45.799
 that a doctor

00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:46.200
 would have done.

00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:47.380
 He doesn't even do anything

00:17:47.380 --> 00:17:48.640
 like an Old Testament saint

00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:49.200
 or you and I

00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:50.240
 would do where we pray.

00:17:50.660 --> 00:17:52.320
 He merely wills it

00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:53.379
 from a distance

00:17:53.379 --> 00:17:55.099
 and the leprosy

00:17:55.099 --> 00:17:55.859
 is gone

00:17:55.859 --> 00:17:57.439
 the nerve endings

00:17:57.439 --> 00:17:58.379
 are restored

00:17:58.379 --> 00:18:00.099
 and quite likely

00:18:00.099 --> 00:18:00.960
 the limbs

00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:02.700
 are remade

00:18:02.700 --> 00:18:04.279
 all merely

00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:06.059
 by willing it

00:18:06.059 --> 00:18:07.579
 and it

00:18:07.579 --> 00:18:09.000
 is so.

00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:16.960
 Remember I said

00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:19.900
 why doesn't God

00:18:19.900 --> 00:18:20.700
 just show up

00:18:20.700 --> 00:18:21.940
 and do a remarkable miracle?

00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:24.259
 I've shared the gospel

00:18:24.259 --> 00:18:25.220
 with so many people

00:18:25.220 --> 00:18:27.299
 and they don't seem

00:18:27.299 --> 00:18:28.180
 to come to faith

00:18:28.180 --> 00:18:28.799
 right then.

00:18:28.940 --> 00:18:29.779
 Like why isn't it

00:18:29.779 --> 00:18:30.420
 that he just doesn't

00:18:30.420 --> 00:18:31.200
 give me that ability

00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:31.880
 that I could say

00:18:31.880 --> 00:18:33.600
 here cut off your fingers

00:18:33.600 --> 00:18:34.539
 I'm going to pray for you

00:18:34.539 --> 00:18:35.220
 they're going to grow

00:18:35.220 --> 00:18:35.960
 right back.

00:18:36.860 --> 00:18:37.519
 You know

00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:39.360
 why doesn't he do

00:18:39.360 --> 00:18:40.380
 something like that?

00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:41.160
 Like you know

00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:42.240
 surely if he did

00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:43.039
 something like that

00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:44.019
 all sorts of people

00:18:44.019 --> 00:18:45.079
 would become Christians

00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:46.779
 and that's what we think

00:18:46.779 --> 00:18:47.379
 but what happens

00:18:47.379 --> 00:18:48.159
 in the story?

00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:49.480
 Well let's see

00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:49.980
 what happens

00:18:49.980 --> 00:18:50.439
 in the story

00:18:50.439 --> 00:18:51.439
 verse 15

00:18:51.439 --> 00:18:54.199
 then one of them

00:18:54.199 --> 00:18:55.399
 remember ten of them

00:18:55.399 --> 00:18:55.839
 are healed

00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:58.279
 one of them

00:18:58.279 --> 00:18:58.980
 out of the ten

00:18:58.980 --> 00:18:59.819
 one of them

00:18:59.819 --> 00:19:00.939
 when he saw

00:19:00.939 --> 00:19:01.559
 that he was healed

00:19:01.559 --> 00:19:02.460
 turned back

00:19:02.460 --> 00:19:05.299
 praising God

00:19:05.299 --> 00:19:06.319
 with a loud voice

00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:08.039
 and he fell on his face

00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:09.079
 at Jesus' feet

00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:10.460
 giving him thanks

00:19:10.460 --> 00:19:12.400
 now he was a Samaritan

00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:16.500
 only one

00:19:16.500 --> 00:19:17.920
 and it's very very

00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:18.360
 interesting

00:19:18.360 --> 00:19:19.539
 in the language here

00:19:19.539 --> 00:19:20.840
 the three things

00:19:20.840 --> 00:19:21.680
 he's giving thanks

00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:22.660
 praising God

00:19:22.660 --> 00:19:24.980
 and the falling on his face

00:19:24.980 --> 00:19:26.079
 is an act of worship

00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:27.559
 he praises God

00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:28.840
 he starts to

00:19:28.840 --> 00:19:30.120
 to worship Jesus

00:19:30.120 --> 00:19:31.519
 and giving him thanks

00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:33.039
 I think it's like 37

00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:34.240
 the word for thanks

00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:34.860
 there is the word

00:19:34.860 --> 00:19:36.059
 that we get Eucharist from

00:19:36.059 --> 00:19:37.779
 and all the way

00:19:37.779 --> 00:19:38.559
 through the New Testament

00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:39.059
 it's only

00:19:39.059 --> 00:19:40.259
 that word is only used

00:19:40.259 --> 00:19:41.000
 when it's in a reference

00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:41.480
 to God

00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:42.259
 it's one of the small

00:19:42.259 --> 00:19:43.220
 indirect ways

00:19:43.220 --> 00:19:43.839
 that the Bible

00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:46.059
 affirms that Jesus is God

00:19:46.059 --> 00:19:48.299
 he praises God

00:19:48.299 --> 00:19:49.339
 he worships Jesus

00:19:49.339 --> 00:19:50.419
 and he gives thanks

00:19:50.419 --> 00:19:51.379
 to God

00:19:51.379 --> 00:19:52.399
 for what's happened

00:19:52.399 --> 00:19:53.460
 and he's a Samaritan

00:19:53.460 --> 00:19:55.240
 now we're all

00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:56.179
 very well instructed

00:19:56.179 --> 00:19:56.700
 in the Bible

00:19:56.700 --> 00:19:57.419
 but one of the things

00:19:57.419 --> 00:19:58.059
 you have to remember

00:19:58.059 --> 00:19:59.220
 if you ever tell a story

00:19:59.220 --> 00:20:00.539
 like this to a non-Christian

00:20:00.539 --> 00:20:02.159
 is that for non-Christians

00:20:02.159 --> 00:20:03.119
 when they hear

00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:04.119
 the word Samaritan

00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:05.279
 if they understand it at all

00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:06.139
 they're liable to think

00:20:06.139 --> 00:20:06.919
 that Samaritans

00:20:06.919 --> 00:20:07.779
 are the good guys

00:20:07.779 --> 00:20:08.179
 why?

00:20:08.180 --> 00:20:09.100
 because one of the few

00:20:09.100 --> 00:20:09.860
 Bible stories

00:20:09.860 --> 00:20:11.500
 that most non-Christians

00:20:11.500 --> 00:20:11.980
 might know

00:20:11.980 --> 00:20:12.680
 is the story

00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:15.360
 of the good Samaritan

00:20:15.360 --> 00:20:16.480
 Samaritans are good

00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:18.440
 and so one of the things

00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:19.180
 you have to understand

00:20:19.180 --> 00:20:19.779
 about this is

00:20:19.779 --> 00:20:20.740
 and this is a Canadian

00:20:20.740 --> 00:20:21.400
 analogy here

00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:22.380
 I'm not making this

00:20:22.380 --> 00:20:23.120
 as

00:20:23.120 --> 00:20:25.080
 I'm not making any type

00:20:25.080 --> 00:20:25.900
 of political content

00:20:25.900 --> 00:20:26.759
 but this is just how

00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:28.000
 most Canadians think

00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:28.320
 okay

00:20:28.320 --> 00:20:29.700
 so the analogy

00:20:29.700 --> 00:20:30.120
 I would say

00:20:30.120 --> 00:20:31.180
 no you have to understand

00:20:31.180 --> 00:20:32.560
 that from a Jewish perspective

00:20:32.560 --> 00:20:34.320
 Samaritans are the bad guys

00:20:34.320 --> 00:20:35.140
 that's the whole point

00:20:35.140 --> 00:20:35.640
 of the story

00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:37.140
 they're the unclean

00:20:37.140 --> 00:20:37.980
 they're the unwashed

00:20:37.980 --> 00:20:38.520
 they're the ones

00:20:38.520 --> 00:20:39.360
 you don't want to go near

00:20:39.360 --> 00:20:40.060
 they're the ones

00:20:40.060 --> 00:20:40.880
 who are confused

00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:41.900
 they're heretics

00:20:41.900 --> 00:20:42.640
 they don't think

00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:43.259
 the right way

00:20:43.259 --> 00:20:44.520
 it's a story

00:20:44.520 --> 00:20:46.180
 of you know

00:20:46.180 --> 00:20:47.480
 a really really good

00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:48.700
 social justice warrior

00:20:48.700 --> 00:20:49.720
 getting hurt

00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:50.380
 and by the side

00:20:50.380 --> 00:20:50.940
 of the road

00:20:50.940 --> 00:20:52.200
 and you know

00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:53.700
 the liberal

00:20:53.700 --> 00:20:54.620
 goes by

00:20:54.620 --> 00:20:55.320
 and the NDP

00:20:55.320 --> 00:20:56.200
 goes by

00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:57.040
 and the Green Party

00:20:57.040 --> 00:20:58.259
 person goes by

00:20:58.259 --> 00:20:59.140
 and then

00:20:59.140 --> 00:21:00.160
 a good old boy

00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:01.400
 with a big fat gut

00:21:01.400 --> 00:21:01.740
 with a

00:21:01.740 --> 00:21:02.800
 I love Trump

00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:04.519
 and an NRA sticker

00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:05.279
 on his truck

00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:06.440
 he stops

00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:06.960
 and helps

00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:08.379
 the social justice warrior

00:21:08.379 --> 00:21:09.519
 for Canadians

00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:10.700
 that's the Samaritan

00:21:10.700 --> 00:21:12.419
 the good old boy

00:21:12.419 --> 00:21:13.500
 Trump loving

00:21:13.500 --> 00:21:14.720
 NRA supporter

00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:16.240
 for a Canadian

00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:17.579
 we don't like

00:21:17.579 --> 00:21:18.139
 those people

00:21:18.139 --> 00:21:20.740
 that's a Samaritan

00:21:20.740 --> 00:21:22.500
 it's a shock

00:21:22.500 --> 00:21:24.079
 but one person

00:21:24.079 --> 00:21:24.680
 out of ten

00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:25.579
 the other nine

00:21:25.579 --> 00:21:27.919
 they go on

00:21:27.919 --> 00:21:28.240
 they

00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:29.440
 they go to

00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:30.460
 get cleansed

00:21:30.460 --> 00:21:31.099
 so they can go

00:21:31.099 --> 00:21:32.119
 and start making money

00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:32.859
 so they can start

00:21:32.859 --> 00:21:33.839
 making babies

00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:34.979
 so that they can

00:21:34.979 --> 00:21:37.059
 they can get back

00:21:37.059 --> 00:21:37.639
 to worship

00:21:37.639 --> 00:21:38.439
 that they can go

00:21:38.439 --> 00:21:39.039
 traveling

00:21:39.039 --> 00:21:40.579
 that they can play sports

00:21:40.579 --> 00:21:41.459
 like whatever it is

00:21:41.459 --> 00:21:42.439
 all those things

00:21:42.439 --> 00:21:43.019
 good things

00:21:43.019 --> 00:21:43.959
 in and of themselves

00:21:43.959 --> 00:21:45.079
 they go on

00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:45.919
 to do all those things

00:21:45.919 --> 00:21:47.099
 it's only one person

00:21:47.099 --> 00:21:47.879
 and it's the worst

00:21:47.879 --> 00:21:48.779
 possible person

00:21:48.779 --> 00:21:49.299
 out of the ten

00:21:49.299 --> 00:21:50.239
 who comes back

00:21:50.239 --> 00:21:51.479
 and acknowledges

00:21:51.479 --> 00:21:52.439
 Jesus as God

00:21:52.439 --> 00:21:53.639
 and gives him thanks

00:21:53.639 --> 00:21:54.500
 as if he's God

00:21:54.500 --> 00:21:56.179
 so what does Jesus say

00:21:56.179 --> 00:21:57.359
 verse

00:21:57.359 --> 00:21:58.500
 six

00:21:58.500 --> 00:21:59.719
 verse 17

00:21:59.719 --> 00:22:01.559
 then Jesus answered

00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:02.579
 we're not ten

00:22:02.579 --> 00:22:03.079
 cleansed

00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:04.399
 Jesus makes the point

00:22:04.399 --> 00:22:05.240
 if we've forgotten

00:22:05.240 --> 00:22:06.119
 that nine of them

00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:07.419
 saw something remarkable

00:22:07.419 --> 00:22:08.139
 it's saying something

00:22:08.139 --> 00:22:09.559
 very important

00:22:09.559 --> 00:22:10.500
 about our heart

00:22:10.500 --> 00:22:14.319
 that what we can

00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:15.519
 understand is this

00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:16.899
 and there's constant

00:22:16.899 --> 00:22:17.799
 stories like this

00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:18.319
 in the Bible

00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:19.460
 time after time

00:22:19.460 --> 00:22:20.079
 after time

00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:20.700
 after time

00:22:20.700 --> 00:22:21.359
 after time

00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:23.980
 the thing that

00:22:23.980 --> 00:22:25.039
 keeps us from Jesus

00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:26.139
 isn't that God

00:22:26.139 --> 00:22:27.099
 doesn't do a miracle

00:22:27.099 --> 00:22:27.960
 in front of us

00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:31.160
 now the rest of the

00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:31.799
 gospel is going to

00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:32.840
 talk about that more

00:22:32.840 --> 00:22:34.539
 but in a powerful

00:22:34.539 --> 00:22:35.380
 story level

00:22:35.380 --> 00:22:36.079
 it makes it very

00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:36.860
 clear to us

00:22:36.860 --> 00:22:38.079
 for nine of the ten

00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:38.920
 ninety percent of them

00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:39.799
 the miracle made no

00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:40.480
 difference in their

00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:41.360
 lives whatsoever

00:22:41.360 --> 00:22:42.440
 zero

00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:43.240
 zilch

00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:46.200
 verse 17

00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:46.440
 again

00:22:46.440 --> 00:22:47.299
 then Jesus answered

00:22:47.299 --> 00:22:48.000
 we're not ten

00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:48.460
 cleansed

00:22:48.460 --> 00:22:49.079
 where are the nine

00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:50.019
 was no one found

00:22:50.019 --> 00:22:50.799
 to return and give

00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:51.880
 praise to God

00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:52.539
 except this

00:22:52.539 --> 00:22:53.299
 foreigner

00:22:53.299 --> 00:22:55.099
 now just sort of

00:22:55.099 --> 00:22:55.659
 pause there

00:22:55.659 --> 00:22:56.059
 that word

00:22:56.059 --> 00:22:56.839
 foreigner is the

00:22:56.839 --> 00:22:57.740
 only place in the

00:22:57.740 --> 00:22:58.220
 New Testament

00:22:58.220 --> 00:22:59.039
 that that word is

00:22:59.039 --> 00:22:59.339
 found

00:22:59.339 --> 00:23:00.940
 and it sounds a

00:23:00.940 --> 00:23:01.480
 little bit like

00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:02.000
 it's a bit of a

00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:02.899
 racist thing for a

00:23:02.899 --> 00:23:03.480
 lot of Canadians

00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:04.200
 when they hear it

00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:04.659
 it sounds like a

00:23:04.659 --> 00:23:05.379
 bit of a put down

00:23:05.379 --> 00:23:06.419
 but it's actually a

00:23:06.419 --> 00:23:07.180
 really significant

00:23:07.180 --> 00:23:07.700
 word

00:23:07.700 --> 00:23:08.919
 because

00:23:08.919 --> 00:23:10.899
 Josephus reports

00:23:10.899 --> 00:23:12.879
 and the Jewish

00:23:12.879 --> 00:23:13.960
 readers of this

00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:15.059
 gospel would have

00:23:15.059 --> 00:23:15.539
 understood

00:23:15.539 --> 00:23:16.720
 that if you went

00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:17.440
 to the temple

00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:18.099
 to pray

00:23:18.099 --> 00:23:19.539
 you come to an

00:23:19.539 --> 00:23:20.460
 important gate

00:23:20.460 --> 00:23:22.059
 and it would say

00:23:22.059 --> 00:23:23.819
 no foreigners

00:23:23.819 --> 00:23:25.419
 allowed to enter

00:23:25.419 --> 00:23:26.419
 and the exact

00:23:26.419 --> 00:23:27.419
 same word

00:23:27.419 --> 00:23:28.619
 that bars

00:23:28.619 --> 00:23:29.839
 non-Jews

00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:31.240
 is the word

00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:32.200
 that Jesus

00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:33.279
 uses here

00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:37.879
 and so

00:23:37.879 --> 00:23:38.559
 Jesus

00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:40.099
 well look what

00:23:40.099 --> 00:23:40.500
 he says in

00:23:40.500 --> 00:23:41.059
 verse 19

00:23:41.059 --> 00:23:41.500
 he said

00:23:41.500 --> 00:23:42.339
 rise and go

00:23:42.339 --> 00:23:42.759
 your way

00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:43.579
 your faith

00:23:43.579 --> 00:23:45.000
 has saved

00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:45.359
 you

00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:47.319
 your faith

00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:48.159
 has saved

00:23:48.159 --> 00:23:48.700
 you

00:23:48.700 --> 00:23:52.080
 it's talking

00:23:52.080 --> 00:23:52.840
 about some

00:23:52.840 --> 00:23:53.940
 completely new

00:23:53.940 --> 00:23:54.860
 thing that God

00:23:54.860 --> 00:23:55.299
 is doing

00:23:55.299 --> 00:23:56.000
 in a sense

00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:57.059
 it's not a new

00:23:57.059 --> 00:23:57.380
 thing

00:23:57.380 --> 00:23:58.059
 it's just really

00:23:58.059 --> 00:23:58.880
 going back

00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:00.100
 to what God

00:24:00.100 --> 00:24:00.620
 had said he was

00:24:00.620 --> 00:24:00.940
 going to do

00:24:00.940 --> 00:24:01.640
 through Abraham

00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:02.240
 if you read

00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:03.279
 Genesis 12

00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:04.279
 verses 1 to 3

00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:05.819
 it's not that

00:24:05.819 --> 00:24:07.600
 salvation is going

00:24:07.600 --> 00:24:08.400
 to come through

00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:09.019
 the Jews

00:24:09.019 --> 00:24:09.960
 for the entire

00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:10.620
 world

00:24:10.620 --> 00:24:12.000
 and we see

00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:12.799
 this Jewish

00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:13.799
 boy Jesus

00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:15.180
 and through

00:24:15.180 --> 00:24:16.019
 him and what

00:24:16.019 --> 00:24:16.860
 he has done

00:24:16.859 --> 00:24:17.559
 and what he

00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:18.359
 accomplishes

00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:19.240
 it is through

00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:20.419
 him that a

00:24:20.419 --> 00:24:20.919
 foreigner

00:24:20.919 --> 00:24:21.979
 who before

00:24:21.979 --> 00:24:22.439
 is kept

00:24:22.439 --> 00:24:23.159
 far from

00:24:23.159 --> 00:24:23.559
 God

00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:24.379
 is now

00:24:24.379 --> 00:24:25.299
 able to

00:24:25.299 --> 00:24:25.919
 come and

00:24:25.919 --> 00:24:26.379
 be at the

00:24:26.379 --> 00:24:26.899
 very feet

00:24:26.899 --> 00:24:27.339
 of Jesus

00:24:27.339 --> 00:24:27.979
 and to be

00:24:27.979 --> 00:24:28.379
 made right

00:24:28.379 --> 00:24:28.939
 with God

00:24:28.939 --> 00:24:30.459
 it's not a

00:24:30.459 --> 00:24:30.979
 put down

00:24:30.979 --> 00:24:31.399
 word

00:24:31.399 --> 00:24:32.740
 it's a

00:24:32.740 --> 00:24:33.240
 word that

00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:33.799
 for Jewish

00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:34.319
 readers at

00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:34.679
 the time

00:24:34.679 --> 00:24:34.959
 would have

00:24:34.959 --> 00:24:35.839
 gobsmacked

00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:36.139
 them

00:24:36.139 --> 00:24:37.240
 Jesus

00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:38.000
 carefully

00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:38.759
 picks the

00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:39.399
 word that

00:24:39.399 --> 00:24:39.939
 was on the

00:24:39.939 --> 00:24:40.419
 walls of

00:24:40.419 --> 00:24:40.939
 the temple

00:24:40.939 --> 00:24:42.879
 and says

00:24:42.879 --> 00:24:43.459
 this person

00:24:43.459 --> 00:24:44.079
 is saved

00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:46.359
 now what

00:24:46.359 --> 00:24:46.599
 do some

00:24:46.599 --> 00:24:46.839
 of these

00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:47.419
 things all

00:24:47.419 --> 00:24:47.939
 sort of

00:24:47.939 --> 00:24:48.459
 mean for

00:24:48.459 --> 00:24:48.799
 us

00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:50.459
 you know

00:24:50.459 --> 00:24:51.419
 I was having

00:24:51.419 --> 00:24:52.119
 a conversation

00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:52.639
 with somebody

00:24:52.639 --> 00:24:53.199
 this week

00:24:53.199 --> 00:24:56.039
 and one

00:24:56.039 --> 00:24:56.240
 of the

00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:57.439
 things I

00:24:57.439 --> 00:24:58.119
 tried to

00:24:58.119 --> 00:24:58.699
 get across

00:24:58.699 --> 00:24:59.059
 to him

00:24:59.059 --> 00:24:59.500
 is this

00:24:59.500 --> 00:25:02.299
 he was

00:25:02.299 --> 00:25:02.500
 having

00:25:02.500 --> 00:25:03.799
 here's the

00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:04.079
 thing I was

00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:04.259
 trying to

00:25:04.259 --> 00:25:04.699
 get across

00:25:04.699 --> 00:25:04.879
 to him

00:25:04.879 --> 00:25:05.159
 I said

00:25:05.159 --> 00:25:05.379
 to him

00:25:05.379 --> 00:25:05.539
 you know

00:25:05.539 --> 00:25:05.719
 what

00:25:05.719 --> 00:25:07.459
 if life

00:25:07.459 --> 00:25:07.899
 and death

00:25:07.899 --> 00:25:08.259
 are both

00:25:08.259 --> 00:25:08.899
 natural

00:25:08.899 --> 00:25:10.579
 why is it

00:25:10.579 --> 00:25:10.979
 that you

00:25:10.979 --> 00:25:12.039
 that we

00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:12.619
 all sense

00:25:12.619 --> 00:25:13.119
 that life

00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:13.539
 is good

00:25:13.539 --> 00:25:13.959
 but not

00:25:13.959 --> 00:25:14.419
 death

00:25:14.420 --> 00:25:16.320
 if health

00:25:16.320 --> 00:25:16.920
 and sickness

00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:17.380
 are both

00:25:17.380 --> 00:25:18.000
 natural

00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:20.519
 why is it

00:25:20.519 --> 00:25:21.660
 that we

00:25:21.660 --> 00:25:23.400
 pay lots

00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:23.779
 of money

00:25:23.779 --> 00:25:24.700
 to doctors

00:25:24.700 --> 00:25:25.920
 to heal

00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:26.380
 people

00:25:26.380 --> 00:25:27.560
 but if there

00:25:27.560 --> 00:25:28.140
 was somebody

00:25:28.140 --> 00:25:28.420
 else

00:25:28.420 --> 00:25:28.980
 in fact

00:25:28.980 --> 00:25:29.380
 there's a

00:25:29.380 --> 00:25:29.840
 case in

00:25:29.840 --> 00:25:30.240
 the paper

00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:30.640
 right now

00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:30.960
 about a

00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:31.320
 man who

00:25:31.320 --> 00:25:32.039
 was intentionally

00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:32.539
 having

00:25:32.539 --> 00:25:33.259
 unprotected

00:25:33.259 --> 00:25:33.759
 sex

00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:34.660
 with other

00:25:34.660 --> 00:25:35.019
 men

00:25:35.019 --> 00:25:35.820
 intentionally

00:25:35.820 --> 00:25:36.380
 to give

00:25:36.380 --> 00:25:37.200
 them AIDS

00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:38.759
 to make

00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:39.220
 them HIV

00:25:39.220 --> 00:25:39.800
 positive

00:25:39.799 --> 00:25:40.859
 so why

00:25:40.859 --> 00:25:41.079
 is it

00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:41.419
 we throw

00:25:41.419 --> 00:25:41.899
 that guy

00:25:41.899 --> 00:25:42.539
 in jail

00:25:42.539 --> 00:25:44.480
 but we

00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:44.819
 give the

00:25:44.819 --> 00:25:45.220
 doctor

00:25:45.220 --> 00:25:45.839
 and the

00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:46.059
 nurse

00:25:46.059 --> 00:25:46.579
 lots of

00:25:46.579 --> 00:25:46.879
 money

00:25:46.879 --> 00:25:47.700
 but if

00:25:47.700 --> 00:25:48.000
 they're both

00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:48.559
 natural

00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:49.559
 because that

00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:49.879
 isn't that

00:25:49.879 --> 00:25:50.299
 true like

00:25:50.299 --> 00:25:50.980
 in nature

00:25:50.980 --> 00:25:51.680
 you have

00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:52.639
 health

00:25:52.639 --> 00:25:52.960
 and you

00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:53.379
 have

00:25:53.379 --> 00:25:54.099
 sickness

00:25:54.099 --> 00:25:54.700
 you have

00:25:54.700 --> 00:25:55.539
 life

00:25:55.539 --> 00:25:55.839
 and you

00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:56.079
 have

00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:56.559
 death

00:25:56.559 --> 00:25:58.039
 you have

00:25:58.039 --> 00:25:58.419
 light

00:25:58.419 --> 00:25:58.720
 and you

00:25:58.720 --> 00:25:58.919
 have

00:25:58.919 --> 00:25:59.440
 darkness

00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:01.259
 you have

00:26:01.259 --> 00:26:02.099
 kindness

00:26:02.099 --> 00:26:02.799
 and you

00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:03.000
 have

00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:03.419
 hatred

00:26:03.419 --> 00:26:03.859
 it's

00:26:03.859 --> 00:26:04.059
 all

00:26:04.059 --> 00:26:04.619
 natural

00:26:04.619 --> 00:26:06.959
 so if

00:26:06.959 --> 00:26:07.399
 these things

00:26:07.399 --> 00:26:07.679
 are all

00:26:07.679 --> 00:26:08.119
 natural

00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:08.799
 why is it

00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:09.500
 in a sense

00:26:09.500 --> 00:26:09.879
 that we

00:26:09.879 --> 00:26:10.579
 sense that

00:26:10.579 --> 00:26:10.879
 there's

00:26:10.879 --> 00:26:11.419
 something on

00:26:11.419 --> 00:26:12.039
 one hand

00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:12.799
 that's good

00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:13.959
 and proper

00:26:13.959 --> 00:26:15.819
 and right

00:26:15.819 --> 00:26:17.639
 and good

00:26:17.639 --> 00:26:18.879
 and the

00:26:18.879 --> 00:26:19.179
 other we

00:26:19.179 --> 00:26:19.500
 want to

00:26:19.500 --> 00:26:19.979
 say

00:26:19.979 --> 00:26:20.859
 shouldn't

00:26:20.859 --> 00:26:21.199
 be

00:26:21.199 --> 00:26:21.859
 like why

00:26:21.859 --> 00:26:22.459
 is that

00:26:22.459 --> 00:26:23.339
 have you

00:26:23.339 --> 00:26:23.779
 stopped to

00:26:23.779 --> 00:26:24.219
 think about

00:26:24.219 --> 00:26:24.500
 it

00:26:24.500 --> 00:26:27.099
 and he

00:26:27.099 --> 00:26:27.759
 tried to

00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:28.819
 then make

00:26:28.819 --> 00:26:29.579
 this claim

00:26:29.579 --> 00:26:30.779
 that from a

00:26:30.779 --> 00:26:31.359
 Christian point

00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:31.539
 of view

00:26:31.539 --> 00:26:31.799
 he said

00:26:31.799 --> 00:26:32.179
 George you

00:26:32.179 --> 00:26:32.599
 can say

00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:33.079
 that but

00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:34.379
 the problem

00:26:34.379 --> 00:26:34.839
 is that

00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:35.299
 that means

00:26:35.299 --> 00:26:35.799
 that God

00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:36.279
 has created

00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:36.859
 all those

00:26:36.859 --> 00:26:37.500
 evil things

00:26:37.500 --> 00:26:37.779
 and I

00:26:37.779 --> 00:26:38.119
 said no

00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:38.460
 no it's

00:26:38.460 --> 00:26:38.819
 not like

00:26:38.819 --> 00:26:39.079
 that

00:26:39.079 --> 00:26:39.639
 in fact

00:26:39.639 --> 00:26:40.240
 we had

00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:40.740
 this odd

00:26:40.740 --> 00:26:41.399
 conversation

00:26:41.399 --> 00:26:42.419
 and here's

00:26:42.419 --> 00:26:42.720
 one of the

00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:43.059
 things to

00:26:43.059 --> 00:26:43.819
 encourage you

00:26:43.819 --> 00:26:45.460
 I wish I

00:26:45.460 --> 00:26:45.879
 could tell

00:26:45.879 --> 00:26:46.579
 you he

00:26:46.579 --> 00:26:47.199
 said that

00:26:47.199 --> 00:26:47.819
 and right

00:26:47.819 --> 00:26:48.240
 away I

00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:48.679
 had this

00:26:48.679 --> 00:26:49.139
 perfect

00:26:49.139 --> 00:26:49.779
 reply

00:26:49.779 --> 00:26:50.419
 and before

00:26:50.419 --> 00:26:50.799
 you know

00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:51.000
 it he

00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:51.299
 was in

00:26:51.299 --> 00:26:51.819
 tears

00:26:51.819 --> 00:26:52.579
 and fell

00:26:52.579 --> 00:26:52.899
 on his

00:26:52.899 --> 00:26:53.220
 knees

00:26:53.220 --> 00:26:53.500
 in the

00:26:53.500 --> 00:26:53.939
 Starbucks

00:26:53.939 --> 00:26:54.399
 and gave

00:26:54.399 --> 00:26:54.759
 his life

00:26:54.759 --> 00:26:55.279
 to Jesus

00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:55.639
 and we

00:26:55.639 --> 00:26:56.039
 all go

00:26:56.039 --> 00:26:56.619
 hooray

00:26:56.619 --> 00:26:57.099
 no that's

00:26:57.099 --> 00:26:57.339
 not how

00:26:57.339 --> 00:26:57.799
 it worked

00:26:57.799 --> 00:26:58.899
 we did

00:26:58.899 --> 00:26:59.740
 have a

00:26:59.740 --> 00:27:00.399
 conversation

00:27:00.399 --> 00:27:00.779
 but it

00:27:00.779 --> 00:27:01.079
 was only

00:27:01.079 --> 00:27:01.379
 when I

00:27:01.379 --> 00:27:01.859
 was driving

00:27:01.859 --> 00:27:02.259
 home that

00:27:02.259 --> 00:27:02.579
 I came

00:27:02.579 --> 00:27:02.839
 up with

00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:03.359
 the analogy

00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:03.700
 that I

00:27:03.700 --> 00:27:03.960
 should have

00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:04.379
 given him

00:27:04.379 --> 00:27:05.839
 and the

00:27:05.839 --> 00:27:06.460
 analogy that

00:27:06.460 --> 00:27:06.700
 I should

00:27:06.700 --> 00:27:07.019
 have given

00:27:07.019 --> 00:27:07.379
 him is

00:27:07.379 --> 00:27:08.960
 that I

00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:09.740
 said you're

00:27:09.740 --> 00:27:10.140
 trying to

00:27:10.140 --> 00:27:11.119
 the mistake

00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:11.640
 you're making

00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:12.220
 is this

00:27:12.220 --> 00:27:15.440
 it's as if

00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:17.059
 I invite

00:27:17.059 --> 00:27:17.839
 my son

00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:19.299
 maybe who's

00:27:19.299 --> 00:27:19.839
 come from

00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:20.660
 another city

00:27:20.660 --> 00:27:20.900
 and he's

00:27:20.900 --> 00:27:21.279
 come back

00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:21.960
 from Calgary

00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:22.440
 my son

00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:22.779
 Jacob

00:27:22.779 --> 00:27:23.059
 and I

00:27:23.059 --> 00:27:23.359
 say I

00:27:23.359 --> 00:27:23.920
 got two

00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:24.339
 cottages

00:27:24.339 --> 00:27:24.680
 and you

00:27:24.680 --> 00:27:24.980
 can have

00:27:24.980 --> 00:27:25.400
 your choice

00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:25.740
 of one

00:27:25.740 --> 00:27:26.019
 cottage

00:27:26.019 --> 00:27:26.240
 or the

00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:26.400
 other

00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:27.059
 and in

00:27:27.059 --> 00:27:27.240
 one

00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:27.539
 cottage

00:27:27.539 --> 00:27:28.039
 everything's

00:27:28.039 --> 00:27:28.420
 broken

00:27:28.420 --> 00:27:30.379
 the fridge

00:27:30.379 --> 00:27:30.819
 is filled

00:27:30.819 --> 00:27:31.299
 with meat

00:27:31.299 --> 00:27:31.599
 and the

00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:31.839
 meat's

00:27:31.839 --> 00:27:32.599
 all rancid

00:27:32.599 --> 00:27:33.819
 and all

00:27:33.819 --> 00:27:34.399
 the vegetables

00:27:34.399 --> 00:27:35.000
 are rotten

00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:35.899
 and you

00:27:35.899 --> 00:27:36.240
 could choose

00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:36.759
 that cottage

00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:37.220
 you can choose

00:27:37.220 --> 00:27:37.599
 this other

00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:37.919
 cottage

00:27:37.919 --> 00:27:38.419
 and this other

00:27:38.419 --> 00:27:38.740
 cottage

00:27:38.740 --> 00:27:39.519
 everything works

00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:39.919
 there's air

00:27:39.919 --> 00:27:40.459
 conditioning

00:27:40.459 --> 00:27:41.019
 the lights

00:27:41.019 --> 00:27:41.379
 work

00:27:41.379 --> 00:27:42.480
 there's stocked

00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:42.899
 with great

00:27:42.899 --> 00:27:43.179
 food

00:27:43.179 --> 00:27:43.500
 you just

00:27:43.500 --> 00:27:44.000
 choose which

00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:44.319
 one of them

00:27:44.319 --> 00:27:44.839
 I've made

00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:45.299
 both of them

00:27:45.299 --> 00:27:45.639
 for you

00:27:45.639 --> 00:27:45.959
 you just

00:27:45.959 --> 00:27:46.240
 go ahead

00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:46.699
 and choose

00:27:46.699 --> 00:27:48.119
 and I said

00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:48.439
 that's not

00:27:48.439 --> 00:27:48.879
 how it works

00:27:48.879 --> 00:27:49.119
 you see

00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:49.419
 what the

00:27:49.419 --> 00:27:50.079
 Bible says

00:27:50.079 --> 00:27:50.539
 is this

00:27:50.539 --> 00:27:50.939
 is that the

00:27:50.939 --> 00:27:52.079
 Bible understands

00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:53.139
 and teaches

00:27:53.139 --> 00:27:53.859
 that God

00:27:53.859 --> 00:27:54.879
 that in a sense

00:27:54.879 --> 00:27:55.339
 if you think

00:27:55.339 --> 00:27:55.679
 about it

00:27:55.679 --> 00:27:56.179
 that all

00:27:56.179 --> 00:27:56.519
 things

00:27:56.519 --> 00:27:57.319
 I did use

00:27:57.319 --> 00:27:57.720
 this part

00:27:57.720 --> 00:27:57.939
 of it

00:27:57.939 --> 00:27:58.359
 that all

00:27:58.359 --> 00:27:59.019
 things came

00:27:59.019 --> 00:27:59.539
 to be as a

00:27:59.539 --> 00:28:00.059
 result of

00:28:00.059 --> 00:28:00.440
 light

00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:00.960
 life

00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:01.539
 and love

00:28:01.539 --> 00:28:02.899
 the Father

00:28:02.899 --> 00:28:03.319
 the Son

00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:04.059
 and the Holy Spirit

00:28:04.059 --> 00:28:04.940
 John's Gospel

00:28:04.940 --> 00:28:05.700
 compares them

00:28:05.700 --> 00:28:06.359
 with love

00:28:06.359 --> 00:28:07.039
 with life

00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:07.559
 with light

00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:08.879
 and light

00:28:08.879 --> 00:28:09.440
 life

00:28:09.440 --> 00:28:09.980
 and love

00:28:09.980 --> 00:28:10.359
 creates

00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:11.299
 all things

00:28:11.299 --> 00:28:12.379
 and one of the

00:28:12.379 --> 00:28:13.039
 reasons that

00:28:13.039 --> 00:28:13.599
 God made

00:28:13.599 --> 00:28:14.339
 human beings

00:28:14.339 --> 00:28:14.859
 is that so

00:28:14.859 --> 00:28:15.519
 we would love

00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:15.720
 him

00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:16.139
 that we would

00:28:16.139 --> 00:28:17.279
 have companionship

00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:17.599
 with him

00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:18.680
 and you can't

00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:19.240
 have love

00:28:19.240 --> 00:28:19.759
 and you can't

00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:20.700
 have companionship

00:28:20.700 --> 00:28:21.440
 without freedom

00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:23.379
 and if you

00:28:23.379 --> 00:28:23.980
 give somebody

00:28:23.980 --> 00:28:24.639
 freedom

00:28:24.639 --> 00:28:26.460
 there is

00:28:26.460 --> 00:28:27.539
 always a choice

00:28:27.539 --> 00:28:28.000
 that they will

00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:28.859
 use their freedom

00:28:28.859 --> 00:28:29.859
 not for love

00:28:29.859 --> 00:28:31.139
 not for companionship

00:28:31.139 --> 00:28:31.679
 for something

00:28:31.679 --> 00:28:32.379
 very different

00:28:32.379 --> 00:28:34.019
 I did use

00:28:34.019 --> 00:28:34.519
 this analogy

00:28:34.519 --> 00:28:35.000
 I didn't think

00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:35.559
 of the cottage

00:28:35.559 --> 00:28:36.019
 analogy

00:28:36.019 --> 00:28:36.579
 which is what

00:28:36.579 --> 00:28:36.939
 I should have

00:28:36.939 --> 00:28:37.459
 thought of

00:28:37.459 --> 00:28:38.399
 so I said

00:28:38.399 --> 00:28:39.619
 this is what

00:28:39.619 --> 00:28:40.039
 I would say

00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:40.659
 now if I could

00:28:40.659 --> 00:28:41.359
 go back in time

00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:41.639
 I'd say

00:28:41.639 --> 00:28:42.099
 so what you

00:28:42.099 --> 00:28:42.879
 have to understand

00:28:42.879 --> 00:28:43.519
 is it would

00:28:43.519 --> 00:28:44.240
 be like my son

00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:45.059
 Jacob coming

00:28:45.059 --> 00:28:46.079
 to spend

00:28:46.079 --> 00:28:46.679
 some time

00:28:46.679 --> 00:28:47.019
 and I say

00:28:47.019 --> 00:28:47.339
 oh you can

00:28:47.339 --> 00:28:47.819
 go use this

00:28:47.819 --> 00:28:48.639
 cottage for a week

00:28:48.639 --> 00:28:49.299
 and in the cottage

00:28:49.299 --> 00:28:50.079
 it's all perfect

00:28:50.079 --> 00:28:50.879
 the air conditioning

00:28:50.879 --> 00:28:51.500
 works

00:28:51.500 --> 00:28:54.099
 and the water

00:28:54.099 --> 00:28:54.799
 is clean

00:28:54.799 --> 00:28:55.379
 and the fridge

00:28:55.379 --> 00:28:55.979
 is stocked

00:28:55.979 --> 00:28:57.019
 with great food

00:28:57.019 --> 00:28:58.319
 and stuff

00:28:58.319 --> 00:28:58.859
 to drink

00:28:58.859 --> 00:29:00.419
 and then

00:29:00.419 --> 00:29:01.200
 Jacob goes

00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:01.759
 and he turns

00:29:01.759 --> 00:29:02.480
 off the fridge

00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:02.879
 and he makes

00:29:02.879 --> 00:29:03.379
 all the meat

00:29:03.379 --> 00:29:03.859
 rancid

00:29:03.859 --> 00:29:04.679
 and he pisses

00:29:04.679 --> 00:29:05.980
 in the stuff

00:29:05.980 --> 00:29:06.939
 and he makes

00:29:06.939 --> 00:29:07.799
 everything broken

00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:09.379
 and he doesn't

00:29:09.379 --> 00:29:09.779
 have anything

00:29:09.779 --> 00:29:10.419
 which is good

00:29:10.419 --> 00:29:13.439
 but I made

00:29:13.439 --> 00:29:14.119
 it all good

00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:17.960
 and you

00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:18.619
 threw out

00:29:18.619 --> 00:29:19.019
 the good

00:29:19.019 --> 00:29:19.439
 you made

00:29:19.439 --> 00:29:20.220
 the good

00:29:20.220 --> 00:29:20.700
 foul

00:29:20.700 --> 00:29:21.599
 you broke

00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:22.119
 things

00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:25.079
 and I said

00:29:25.079 --> 00:29:26.539
 that's

00:29:26.539 --> 00:29:27.000
 how it is

00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:27.440
 we've used

00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:27.980
 our freedom

00:29:27.980 --> 00:29:28.980
 and so

00:29:28.980 --> 00:29:29.619
 what we see

00:29:29.619 --> 00:29:30.420
 in this story

00:29:30.420 --> 00:29:31.680
 if you could

00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:31.920
 put up

00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:32.700
 the first point

00:29:32.700 --> 00:29:33.819
 is that

00:29:33.819 --> 00:29:34.440
 we now know

00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:34.920
 that we live

00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:35.420
 in a world

00:29:35.420 --> 00:29:36.220
 with brokenness

00:29:36.220 --> 00:29:36.660
 and evil

00:29:36.660 --> 00:29:37.220
 and death

00:29:37.220 --> 00:29:38.339
 on one hand

00:29:38.339 --> 00:29:39.019
 it's completely

00:29:39.019 --> 00:29:39.599
 natural

00:29:39.599 --> 00:29:40.140
 but we know

00:29:40.140 --> 00:29:40.720
 that it's not

00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:41.680
 really natural

00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:42.460
 it's not good

00:29:42.460 --> 00:29:43.160
 and so

00:29:43.160 --> 00:29:43.700
 what we see

00:29:43.700 --> 00:29:44.480
 in this story

00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:44.880
 is this

00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:45.859
 only health

00:29:45.859 --> 00:29:46.740
 himself

00:29:46.740 --> 00:29:48.000
 can do

00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:48.559
 what Jesus

00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:48.980
 did

00:29:48.980 --> 00:29:50.119
 only life

00:29:50.119 --> 00:29:51.039
 himself

00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:52.259
 can do

00:29:52.259 --> 00:29:53.339
 what the man

00:29:53.339 --> 00:29:54.019
 Jesus

00:29:54.019 --> 00:29:54.959
 did

00:29:54.959 --> 00:29:55.819
 and it's

00:29:55.819 --> 00:29:56.500
 really interesting

00:29:56.500 --> 00:29:57.139
 because when I

00:29:57.139 --> 00:29:57.480
 was writing

00:29:57.480 --> 00:29:57.839
 these things

00:29:57.839 --> 00:29:58.159
 I had to

00:29:58.159 --> 00:29:58.639
 keep fighting

00:29:58.639 --> 00:29:59.859
 I was writing

00:29:59.859 --> 00:30:00.939
 himself

00:30:00.939 --> 00:30:01.659
 but as I'm

00:30:01.659 --> 00:30:02.339
 writing himself

00:30:02.339 --> 00:30:03.199
 I want to

00:30:03.199 --> 00:30:03.679
 not make it

00:30:03.679 --> 00:30:04.139
 himself

00:30:04.139 --> 00:30:04.980
 I want to

00:30:04.980 --> 00:30:05.279
 make it

00:30:05.279 --> 00:30:05.959
 impersonal

00:30:05.959 --> 00:30:06.319
 I want to

00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:06.720
 say only

00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:07.079
 health

00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:07.799
 itself

00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:08.599
 can do

00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:08.939
 what Jesus

00:30:08.939 --> 00:30:09.179
 did

00:30:09.179 --> 00:30:10.019
 only life

00:30:10.019 --> 00:30:10.959
 itself

00:30:10.959 --> 00:30:11.679
 can do

00:30:11.679 --> 00:30:12.079
 what Jesus

00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:12.319
 did

00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:12.639
 as if

00:30:12.639 --> 00:30:12.899
 it's

00:30:12.899 --> 00:30:13.259
 something

00:30:13.259 --> 00:30:14.019
 impersonal

00:30:14.019 --> 00:30:14.579
 and I'm

00:30:14.579 --> 00:30:14.980
 greater

00:30:14.980 --> 00:30:15.519
 because a

00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:15.899
 person

00:30:15.899 --> 00:30:16.519
 a human

00:30:16.519 --> 00:30:16.740
 being

00:30:16.740 --> 00:30:17.279
 is greater

00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:17.659
 than the

00:30:17.659 --> 00:30:18.259
 impersonal

00:30:18.259 --> 00:30:18.459
 I'm

00:30:18.459 --> 00:30:18.779
 greater

00:30:18.779 --> 00:30:18.959
 than

00:30:18.959 --> 00:30:19.299
 electricity

00:30:19.299 --> 00:30:20.099
 I have

00:30:20.099 --> 00:30:20.480
 mind

00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:21.000
 intelligence

00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:21.700
 and I

00:30:21.700 --> 00:30:22.000
 want to

00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:22.180
 keep

00:30:22.180 --> 00:30:22.500
 putting

00:30:22.500 --> 00:30:22.740
 in

00:30:22.740 --> 00:30:23.599
 itself

00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:24.440
 but what

00:30:24.440 --> 00:30:25.440
 is being

00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:25.940
 revealed

00:30:25.940 --> 00:30:26.500
 here

00:30:26.500 --> 00:30:27.940
 only

00:30:27.940 --> 00:30:28.519
 health

00:30:28.519 --> 00:30:29.099
 himself

00:30:29.099 --> 00:30:31.759
 can see

00:30:31.759 --> 00:30:32.299
 a leper

00:30:32.299 --> 00:30:34.079
 and merely

00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:34.980
 by willing

00:30:34.980 --> 00:30:36.460
 make the

00:30:36.460 --> 00:30:36.779
 leper

00:30:36.779 --> 00:30:37.339
 well

00:30:37.339 --> 00:30:37.779
 only

00:30:37.779 --> 00:30:38.500
 life

00:30:38.500 --> 00:30:39.579
 and it's

00:30:39.579 --> 00:30:39.920
 not in

00:30:39.920 --> 00:30:40.640
 itself

00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:42.660
 health

00:30:42.660 --> 00:30:43.660
 is revealed

00:30:43.660 --> 00:30:44.500
 as a

00:30:44.500 --> 00:30:45.039
 person

00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:47.860
 life

00:30:47.860 --> 00:30:48.960
 is revealed

00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:50.640
 as a

00:30:50.640 --> 00:30:51.200
 person

00:30:51.200 --> 00:30:53.920
 and if

00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:54.720
 this story

00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:55.480
 really

00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:56.279
 happened

00:30:56.279 --> 00:30:57.779
 it means

00:30:57.779 --> 00:30:59.140
 that life

00:30:59.140 --> 00:31:00.759
 himself

00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:02.440
 stood

00:31:02.440 --> 00:31:03.460
 before the

00:31:03.460 --> 00:31:03.840
 lepers

00:31:03.840 --> 00:31:04.779
 health

00:31:04.779 --> 00:31:06.140
 himself

00:31:06.140 --> 00:31:07.539
 stood

00:31:07.539 --> 00:31:08.480
 before

00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:09.380
 the lepers

00:31:09.380 --> 00:31:09.819
 if you could

00:31:09.819 --> 00:31:10.200
 put up the

00:31:10.200 --> 00:31:10.860
 next point

00:31:10.860 --> 00:31:13.079
 and so

00:31:13.079 --> 00:31:13.740
 what we see

00:31:13.740 --> 00:31:14.100
 in this

00:31:14.100 --> 00:31:14.579
 story

00:31:14.579 --> 00:31:16.279
 is that

00:31:16.279 --> 00:31:16.799
 life

00:31:16.799 --> 00:31:17.660
 himself

00:31:17.660 --> 00:31:19.519
 has invaded

00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:20.519
 his dying

00:31:20.519 --> 00:31:21.360
 creation

00:31:21.360 --> 00:31:22.940
 to begin

00:31:22.940 --> 00:31:23.480
 to put

00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:24.380
 things right

00:31:24.380 --> 00:31:26.040
 and deliver

00:31:26.040 --> 00:31:27.380
 his fallen

00:31:27.380 --> 00:31:28.800
 image bearers

00:31:28.800 --> 00:31:29.759
 health

00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:31.060
 himself

00:31:31.060 --> 00:31:32.840
 has invaded

00:31:32.840 --> 00:31:34.140
 his sick

00:31:34.140 --> 00:31:34.900
 creation

00:31:34.900 --> 00:31:36.060
 to begin

00:31:36.060 --> 00:31:36.480
 to put

00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:37.200
 things right

00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:38.360
 and deliver

00:31:38.360 --> 00:31:40.200
 his fallen

00:31:40.200 --> 00:31:41.940
 image bearers

00:31:41.940 --> 00:31:43.720
 that's what

00:31:43.720 --> 00:31:44.140
 we see

00:31:44.140 --> 00:31:46.500
 that's

00:31:46.500 --> 00:31:48.620
 you see

00:31:48.620 --> 00:31:51.440
 the bible

00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:52.240
 is in

00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:52.980
 the course

00:31:52.980 --> 00:31:53.259
 of the

00:31:53.259 --> 00:31:53.759
 story

00:31:53.759 --> 00:31:54.280
 through a

00:31:54.280 --> 00:31:54.759
 narrative

00:31:54.759 --> 00:31:57.759
 the bible

00:31:57.759 --> 00:31:58.580
 through a

00:31:58.580 --> 00:31:58.980
 narrative

00:31:58.980 --> 00:31:59.520
 I mean

00:31:59.520 --> 00:32:00.240
 like in the

00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:00.560
 book of

00:32:00.560 --> 00:32:00.860
 romans

00:32:00.860 --> 00:32:01.140
 it might

00:32:01.140 --> 00:32:01.540
 just give

00:32:01.540 --> 00:32:02.220
 you certain

00:32:02.220 --> 00:32:02.800
 doctrinal

00:32:02.800 --> 00:32:03.360
 points very

00:32:03.360 --> 00:32:03.740
 clearly

00:32:03.740 --> 00:32:04.100
 but what

00:32:04.100 --> 00:32:04.740
 the story

00:32:04.740 --> 00:32:05.100
 does

00:32:05.100 --> 00:32:05.440
 is the

00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:05.800
 story

00:32:05.800 --> 00:32:07.000
 helps us

00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:07.720
 changes

00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:08.100
 our

00:32:08.100 --> 00:32:08.800
 imagination

00:32:08.800 --> 00:32:09.120
 our

00:32:09.120 --> 00:32:09.740
 consciousness

00:32:09.740 --> 00:32:10.080
 our

00:32:10.080 --> 00:32:10.780
 categories

00:32:10.779 --> 00:32:13.099
 in a way

00:32:13.099 --> 00:32:13.559
 that just

00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:14.379
 having like a

00:32:14.379 --> 00:32:14.799
 creed

00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:15.399
 doesn't do

00:32:15.399 --> 00:32:15.639
 it

00:32:15.639 --> 00:32:16.279
 and that

00:32:16.279 --> 00:32:16.599
 as we

00:32:16.599 --> 00:32:16.879
 realize

00:32:16.879 --> 00:32:17.220
 that's what

00:32:17.220 --> 00:32:17.639
 happened

00:32:17.639 --> 00:32:19.019
 you see

00:32:19.019 --> 00:32:19.539
 life

00:32:19.539 --> 00:32:20.339
 invading

00:32:20.339 --> 00:32:21.940
 life

00:32:21.940 --> 00:32:22.539
 himself

00:32:22.539 --> 00:32:23.440
 invades

00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:24.779
 and when

00:32:24.779 --> 00:32:25.160
 life

00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:25.700
 himself

00:32:25.700 --> 00:32:26.279
 invades

00:32:26.279 --> 00:32:26.819
 his dying

00:32:26.819 --> 00:32:27.399
 creation

00:32:27.399 --> 00:32:28.019
 he gives

00:32:28.019 --> 00:32:28.339
 life

00:32:28.339 --> 00:32:28.819
 he gives

00:32:28.819 --> 00:32:29.500
 health

00:32:29.500 --> 00:32:31.139
 he begins

00:32:31.139 --> 00:32:31.579
 to put

00:32:31.579 --> 00:32:32.200
 that right

00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:38.180
 now

00:32:38.180 --> 00:32:39.059
 how should

00:32:39.059 --> 00:32:39.279
 we then

00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:39.440
 live

00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:39.840
 we're just

00:32:39.840 --> 00:32:40.059
 going to

00:32:40.059 --> 00:32:40.480
 close with

00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:40.740
 the next

00:32:40.740 --> 00:32:41.100
 couple of

00:32:41.100 --> 00:32:41.220
 minutes

00:32:41.220 --> 00:32:41.539
 about a

00:32:41.539 --> 00:32:41.840
 couple of

00:32:41.840 --> 00:32:42.420
 very important

00:32:42.420 --> 00:32:42.779
 things

00:32:42.779 --> 00:32:43.700
 this first

00:32:43.700 --> 00:32:44.080
 point

00:32:44.080 --> 00:32:44.960
 or the

00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:45.160
 third

00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:45.360
 point

00:32:45.360 --> 00:32:45.559
 if you

00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:45.779
 could put

00:32:45.779 --> 00:32:45.960
 it up

00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:46.380
 right now

00:32:46.380 --> 00:32:46.640
 Andrew

00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:47.340
 this is

00:32:47.340 --> 00:32:47.559
 really

00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:48.000
 important

00:32:48.000 --> 00:32:48.319
 for us

00:32:48.319 --> 00:32:48.480
 as

00:32:48.480 --> 00:32:48.880
 Christians

00:32:48.880 --> 00:32:51.759
 I think

00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:52.039
 it's

00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:52.680
 statistics

00:32:52.680 --> 00:32:53.140
 are that

00:32:53.140 --> 00:32:54.019
 2-3%

00:32:54.019 --> 00:32:54.580
 of Ottawa

00:32:54.580 --> 00:32:55.400
 the population

00:32:55.400 --> 00:32:55.759
 of Ottawa

00:32:55.759 --> 00:32:56.900
 are evangelicals

00:32:56.900 --> 00:32:58.200
 and I

00:32:58.200 --> 00:32:58.779
 you know

00:32:58.779 --> 00:32:59.340
 if you're

00:32:59.340 --> 00:32:59.920
 a guest

00:32:59.920 --> 00:33:00.120
 here

00:33:00.120 --> 00:33:00.319
 and you're

00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:00.819
 non-Christian

00:33:00.819 --> 00:33:01.120
 and this

00:33:01.120 --> 00:33:01.420
 might be

00:33:01.420 --> 00:33:01.600
 a bit

00:33:01.600 --> 00:33:01.799
 of a

00:33:01.799 --> 00:33:02.160
 surprise

00:33:02.200 --> 00:33:02.480
 to you

00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:02.980
 but let

00:33:02.980 --> 00:33:03.360
 me tell

00:33:03.360 --> 00:33:03.600
 you

00:33:03.600 --> 00:33:06.019
 often

00:33:06.019 --> 00:33:06.440
 if I

00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:06.759
 was to

00:33:06.759 --> 00:33:07.019
 say to

00:33:07.019 --> 00:33:07.240
 people

00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:07.539
 that I'm

00:33:07.539 --> 00:33:07.640
 an

00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:08.039
 evangelical

00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:08.680
 Christian

00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:09.259
 at a

00:33:09.259 --> 00:33:09.580
 party

00:33:09.580 --> 00:33:10.680
 of my

00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:11.059
 neighbors

00:33:11.059 --> 00:33:11.360
 they

00:33:11.360 --> 00:33:12.860
 smirk

00:33:12.860 --> 00:33:13.340
 or they

00:33:13.340 --> 00:33:14.039
 get

00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:14.440
 like

00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:16.000
 often

00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:16.380
 in lots

00:33:16.380 --> 00:33:16.519
 of

00:33:16.519 --> 00:33:16.779
 settings

00:33:16.779 --> 00:33:17.140
 I'm

00:33:17.140 --> 00:33:17.279
 a

00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:17.559
 leper

00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:20.799
 so what

00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:20.960
 should

00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:21.360
 we do

00:33:21.360 --> 00:33:22.500
 so in

00:33:22.500 --> 00:33:22.900
 this city

00:33:22.900 --> 00:33:23.240
 should we

00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:23.580
 just say

00:33:23.580 --> 00:33:23.940
 ah the

00:33:23.940 --> 00:33:24.460
 heck

00:33:24.460 --> 00:33:24.940
 with them

00:33:24.940 --> 00:33:25.860
 you know

00:33:25.860 --> 00:33:26.259
 let them

00:33:26.259 --> 00:33:26.539
 all go

00:33:26.539 --> 00:33:26.960
 to hell

00:33:26.960 --> 00:33:27.220
 in a

00:33:27.220 --> 00:33:27.500
 hand

00:33:27.500 --> 00:33:27.940
 basket

00:33:27.940 --> 00:33:28.160
 let

00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:28.480
 everything

00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:28.960
 fall

00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:29.400
 apart

00:33:29.400 --> 00:33:29.880
 like why

00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:30.240
 should I

00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:30.539
 do any

00:33:30.539 --> 00:33:31.100
 no no

00:33:31.099 --> 00:33:32.240
 or should

00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:32.619
 we just

00:33:32.619 --> 00:33:32.859
 like

00:33:32.859 --> 00:33:33.779
 only if

00:33:33.779 --> 00:33:34.119
 we want to

00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:34.480
 feed the

00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:34.639

00:33:34.779 --> 00:33:35.199
 only feed

00:33:35.199 --> 00:33:35.579
 the poor

00:33:35.579 --> 00:33:35.839
 who are

00:33:35.839 --> 00:33:36.179
 actually going

00:33:36.179 --> 00:33:36.539

 ten people

00:33:42.379 --> 00:33:43.179
 nine of whom

00:33:43.179 --> 00:33:44.240
 have no regard

00:33:45.099 --> 00:33:45.819
 afterwards

00:33:45.819 --> 00:33:46.459

00:33:52.980 --> 00:33:53.680
 very significant

00:33:53.680 --> 00:33:54.000
 way

00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:54.539

00:34:00.180 --> 00:34:00.799
 not trust

00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:01.120
 in him

00:34:01.120 --> 00:34:01.420
