00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:17.679
 John chapter 6. Today we reach the last section in John and the last discussion of the discourse of the bread of life.

00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:23.879
! Let's read together verses 66 through 71.

00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:34.340
 After this, many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him.

00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:41.359
 So Jesus said to the twelve, do you want to go away as well?

00:00:43.179 --> 00:00:50.019
 Simon Peter answered, Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.

00:00:50.020 --> 00:00:56.160
 And we have believed and have come to know that you are the Holy One of God.

00:00:57.480 --> 00:01:08.579
 Jesus answered him, or them, did I not choose you, the twelve? And yet one of you is a devil.

00:01:08.579 --> 00:01:19.200
 He spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was going to betray him.

00:01:21.700 --> 00:01:32.500
 Father, as we look at this passage today, we ask especially that you would illumine our hearts by the Holy Spirit you have given us.

00:01:32.500 --> 00:01:45.719
 Help us, Lord, to grasp what Jesus was communicating to his disciples and grow by that.

00:01:46.859 --> 00:01:55.859
 Father, we thank you for your loving, nourishing, strengthening care for us.

00:01:55.859 --> 00:02:05.959
 And we ask that we would respond appropriately and fully with thanksgiving and praise and growth.

00:02:06.420 --> 00:02:07.640
 In Jesus' name.

00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:21.479
 If anyone could have taken ordinary young men and prepared them to change the world, it would have been Jesus.

00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:33.459
 If anyone could take fishermen, a tax collector, a political nationalist, and possibly farmers or tradesmen,

00:02:33.519 --> 00:02:41.739
 and prepare them to bring the gospel to places like Rome, Mesopotamia, Persia, India, Egypt, and Ethiopia,

00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:44.419
 it would be Jesus.

00:02:44.419 --> 00:02:59.179
 If anyone could take self-reliant, ambitious, insecure, and fearful men and prepare them to endure rejection, betrayal,

00:02:59.959 --> 00:03:05.319
 and the eventual martyrdom that would crown their service, it would be Jesus.

00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:14.159
 And he did just that with those men that he had chose and sent out.

00:03:15.359 --> 00:03:25.759
 And he did it by preparing them through strengthening their faith and establishing their knowledge of him.

00:03:27.699 --> 00:03:31.400
 I believe Jesus is preparing people in the same way today.

00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:37.400
 We might not have the same ministry that the apostles had,

00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:43.060
 but we face the same pain and temptation to self-pity that they did.

00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:57.140
 And though the Spirit is still strengthening faith by directing us to consider and look to him.

00:03:57.139 --> 00:04:08.899
 The passage we read this morning reveals Jesus' gracious care in helping his followers endure the widespread desertion

00:04:08.899 --> 00:04:13.339
 and eventual betrayal of one of their own.

00:04:13.340 --> 00:04:22.040
 He did this through a contrast of false and genuine faith,

00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:31.780
 showing that true endurance begins with genuine faith and knowing him.

00:04:31.779 --> 00:04:42.039
 I believe this morning Jesus wants to strengthen you to endure, to remain, to abide,

00:04:42.659 --> 00:04:44.579
 even if all others fall away,

00:04:45.679 --> 00:04:50.259
 as you focus on him as the source of your life.

00:04:50.259 --> 00:04:57.420
 And so, we will look at this passage in three parts,

00:04:59.019 --> 00:05:03.560
 highlighting these truths.

00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.839
 You must look to Jesus alone because,

00:05:07.860 --> 00:05:10.099
 one, no one else can give you eternal life.

00:05:11.699 --> 00:05:14.459
 Two, because he alone is the Holy One of God.

00:05:14.459 --> 00:05:23.219
 And three, because only grace produced faith in him endures.

00:05:25.019 --> 00:05:26.319
 So, first of all,

00:05:27.459 --> 00:05:30.279
 when others are unfaithful all around you,

00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:32.519
 you must look to Jesus alone because,

00:05:33.060 --> 00:05:36.279
 no one else can give you eternal life.

00:05:37.799 --> 00:05:40.740
 Let's look at verses 67 and 68 again.

00:05:40.740 --> 00:05:42.240
 So, Jesus said to the twelve,

00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:45.879
 Do you want to go away as well?

00:05:47.220 --> 00:05:49.019
 Simon Peter answered him,

00:05:49.939 --> 00:05:52.060
 Lord, to whom shall we go?

00:05:52.860 --> 00:05:55.360
 You have the words of eternal life.

00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:02.259
 Now, after many of Jesus' followers had turned away,

00:06:04.259 --> 00:06:08.259
 he turned to the twelve that he had specifically chosen.

00:06:08.259 --> 00:06:13.699
 And he questioned them,

00:06:14.180 --> 00:06:16.620
 Do you want to go away as well?

00:06:18.159 --> 00:06:21.240
 Now, that question didn't arise from insecurity.

00:06:23.180 --> 00:06:27.459
 No, it was designed to test and strengthen their faith.

00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:32.279
 In Greek, the negative particle in that sentence

00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:33.860
 anticipates a no answer.

00:06:33.860 --> 00:06:35.300
 Literally is,

00:06:36.340 --> 00:06:38.540
 You don't also want to go away, do you?

00:06:40.520 --> 00:06:43.379
 Instead of correcting or rebuking them

00:06:43.379 --> 00:06:44.420
 or challenging them,

00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:46.319
 Jesus is inviting them

00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:50.960
 to reaffirm their faith in him.

00:06:52.819 --> 00:06:56.020
 Now, we don't know exactly how the twelve felt

00:06:56.020 --> 00:06:59.759
 after hearing Jesus' hard sayings

00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:01.939
 about eating his flesh and drinking his blood,

00:07:01.939 --> 00:07:04.240
 but we can imagine their confusion.

00:07:06.660 --> 00:07:08.980
 Yet, even when they didn't understand,

00:07:09.100 --> 00:07:09.759
 they stayed.

00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:13.660
 And Peter, speaking for the group,

00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:17.079
 gave one of the most beautiful confessions in Scripture.

00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:20.300
 Lord, to whom shall we go?

00:07:21.180 --> 00:07:23.079
 You have the words of eternal life.

00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:28.159
 The disciples recognized here

00:07:28.159 --> 00:07:32.379
 that there was no one else like him.

00:07:34.539 --> 00:07:36.219
 Moses couldn't save them.

00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:38.599
 The prophets couldn't redeem them.

00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:42.379
 The philosophers of the age could not give them life.

00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:43.740
 Only Jesus could.

00:07:45.779 --> 00:07:47.839
 Only Jesus could.

00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:50.699
 And that truth is echoed again and again

00:07:50.699 --> 00:07:51.539
 in the New Testament.

00:07:51.919 --> 00:07:52.879
 Later on in John,

00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:53.560
 he writes,

00:07:53.979 --> 00:07:55.019
 he writes

00:07:55.019 --> 00:07:57.459
 the words of Christ

00:07:57.459 --> 00:07:57.939
 when he said,

00:07:58.060 --> 00:07:59.759
 I am the way

00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:00.979
 and the truth

00:08:00.979 --> 00:08:01.979
 and the life.

00:08:02.739 --> 00:08:04.299
 No one comes to the Father

00:08:04.299 --> 00:08:05.319
 except through me.

00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:08.799
 In Acts,

00:08:09.239 --> 00:08:10.579
 when Peter was arrested

00:08:10.579 --> 00:08:13.539
 and faced the Sanhedrin

00:08:13.539 --> 00:08:15.159
 because he was preaching

00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:17.220
 Jesus resurrected from the dead,

00:08:17.380 --> 00:08:19.520
 he declared to them,

00:08:19.620 --> 00:08:21.280
 there is no salvation

00:08:21.280 --> 00:08:23.939
 in anyone else.

00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:27.620
 For there is no other name

00:08:27.620 --> 00:08:28.520
 under heaven

00:08:28.520 --> 00:08:30.920
 given among men

00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.040
 by which we must be saved.

00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:35.440
 And then John,

00:08:35.560 --> 00:08:36.700
 in his first epistle,

00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:39.019
 in writing about the testimony

00:08:39.019 --> 00:08:40.320
 that God had given

00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:41.399
 about his son,

00:08:41.460 --> 00:08:42.519
 he said it this way,

00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:44.340
 and this is the testimony

00:08:44.340 --> 00:08:45.740
 that God has given us

00:08:45.740 --> 00:08:46.540
 eternal life.

00:08:46.940 --> 00:08:47.740
 And this life

00:08:47.740 --> 00:08:48.660
 is in his son.

00:08:49.660 --> 00:08:51.740
 Whoever has the son

00:08:51.740 --> 00:08:53.460
 has life.

00:08:54.560 --> 00:08:56.440
 Whoever does not have the son

00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:59.220
 does not have life.

00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:02.420
 It's all focused

00:09:02.420 --> 00:09:03.680
 in Christ.

00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:05.879
 And that's what the disciples understood.

00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:08.019
 Where,

00:09:08.300 --> 00:09:10.080
 to who else would we go?

00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:13.360
 And I think Jesus

00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:15.060
 could be asking us

00:09:15.060 --> 00:09:15.980
 the same question.

00:09:17.160 --> 00:09:18.100
 At moments

00:09:18.100 --> 00:09:18.740
 when we're shaken

00:09:18.740 --> 00:09:20.400
 by trials and temptations,

00:09:21.220 --> 00:09:21.720
 you don't

00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:23.800
 also want to go away,

00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:24.259
 do you?

00:09:26.660 --> 00:09:27.680
 At that moment,

00:09:27.780 --> 00:09:28.540
 is your answer

00:09:28.540 --> 00:09:29.980
 the same as Peter's?

00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:34.500
 There have been surveys

00:09:34.500 --> 00:09:36.220
 over the last few decades

00:09:36.220 --> 00:09:37.520
 questioning Christians

00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:39.419
 about their beliefs.

00:09:41.539 --> 00:09:42.759
 And their conclusions

00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:43.779
 are interesting.

00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:45.699
 And they found

00:09:45.699 --> 00:09:46.679
 that a great number

00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:47.860
 of those who claim

00:09:47.860 --> 00:09:48.620
 Christ

00:09:48.620 --> 00:09:50.299
 as their

00:09:50.299 --> 00:09:52.419
 Savior

00:09:52.419 --> 00:09:53.879
 also believe

00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:54.840
 that there are

00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:55.819
 other ways to God.

00:09:57.159 --> 00:09:58.500
 They also believe

00:09:58.500 --> 00:09:58.980
 that there

00:09:58.980 --> 00:10:00.460
 are other ways

00:10:00.460 --> 00:10:01.519
 to receive

00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:02.779
 eternal life.

00:10:02.779 --> 00:10:05.959
 percentages

00:10:05.959 --> 00:10:07.899
 that range

00:10:07.899 --> 00:10:08.899
 they range

00:10:08.899 --> 00:10:09.439
 from about

00:10:09.439 --> 00:10:10.220
 a third

00:10:10.220 --> 00:10:11.120
 to two thirds

00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:12.120
 depending on how

00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:12.799
 the questions

00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:14.459
 are assembled

00:10:14.459 --> 00:10:15.039
 and

00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:16.379
 who's included

00:10:16.379 --> 00:10:16.939
 in the term

00:10:16.939 --> 00:10:17.480
 Christian.

00:10:17.740 --> 00:10:17.919
 But

00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:19.379
 even at its

00:10:19.379 --> 00:10:20.659
 lowest percentage

00:10:20.659 --> 00:10:22.620
 this is tragic.

00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:24.860
 This is not

00:10:24.860 --> 00:10:25.459
 what the Bible

00:10:25.459 --> 00:10:25.980
 says

00:10:25.980 --> 00:10:27.059
 a Christian

00:10:27.059 --> 00:10:28.500
 must understand.

00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:30.000
 Jesus Christ

00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:31.559
 is the only way

00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:33.100
 to life.

00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:36.320
 When others

00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:37.399
 fall away

00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:38.440
 or look elsewhere

00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:41.000
 Jesus wants you

00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:42.159
 to have the same

00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:43.000
 deep conviction

00:10:43.580 --> 00:10:44.659
 that says to him

00:10:44.659 --> 00:10:45.980
 you alone

00:10:45.980 --> 00:10:46.580
 have

00:10:46.580 --> 00:10:47.000
 words

00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:49.059
 of eternal life.

00:10:53.539 --> 00:10:54.299
 So

00:10:54.299 --> 00:10:56.120
 first

00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:58.060
 you must

00:10:58.060 --> 00:10:58.460
 look to

00:10:58.460 --> 00:10:58.779
 Jesus

00:10:58.779 --> 00:11:00.299
 because he

00:11:00.299 --> 00:11:00.679
 has the

00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:01.080
 words of

00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:01.399
 life.

00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:01.960
 And second

00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:03.620
 when all

00:11:03.620 --> 00:11:04.039
 others

00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:05.440
 are unfaithful

00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:06.080
 all around

00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:06.379
 you

00:11:06.379 --> 00:11:07.580
 you must

00:11:07.580 --> 00:11:07.940
 look to

00:11:07.940 --> 00:11:08.240
 Jesus

00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:08.679
 alone

00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:09.159
 because

00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:10.259
 he alone

00:11:10.259 --> 00:11:11.120
 is the

00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:11.580
 Holy One

00:11:11.580 --> 00:11:12.139
 of God.

00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:14.600
 This really

00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:15.560
 answers why.

00:11:17.220 --> 00:11:17.580
 Peter

00:11:17.580 --> 00:11:18.100
 continues

00:11:18.100 --> 00:11:18.500
 in verse

00:11:18.500 --> 00:11:19.139
 69

00:11:19.139 --> 00:11:19.620
 the

00:11:19.620 --> 00:11:20.259
 chiastic

00:11:20.259 --> 00:11:20.720
 center

00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:22.399
 of the

00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:22.980
 passage

00:11:22.980 --> 00:11:24.320
 the one

00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:24.519
 that

00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:25.580
 the Apostle

00:11:25.580 --> 00:11:26.220
 John wanted

00:11:26.220 --> 00:11:26.840
 us to

00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:27.420
 grasp.

00:11:29.860 --> 00:11:30.220
 He says

00:11:30.220 --> 00:11:30.600
 and we

00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:30.879
 have

00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:31.400
 believed

00:11:31.400 --> 00:11:31.920
 and have

00:11:31.920 --> 00:11:32.480
 come to

00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:32.780
 know

00:11:32.780 --> 00:11:33.340
 that you

00:11:33.340 --> 00:11:33.840
 are the

00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:34.400
 Holy One

00:11:34.400 --> 00:11:34.940
 of God.

00:11:37.940 --> 00:11:38.700
 With this

00:11:38.700 --> 00:11:39.180
 verse we

00:11:39.180 --> 00:11:39.720
 reach the

00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:40.300
 heart of

00:11:40.300 --> 00:11:40.660
 Peter's

00:11:40.660 --> 00:11:41.240
 response

00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:42.960
 and it's

00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:43.500
 the genuine

00:11:43.500 --> 00:11:44.160
 disciples

00:11:44.160 --> 00:11:45.060
 confession

00:11:45.060 --> 00:11:46.639
 believing

00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:47.780
 and knowing

00:11:47.780 --> 00:11:48.920
 who

00:11:48.920 --> 00:11:50.120
 Jesus

00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:51.460
 is

00:11:51.460 --> 00:11:53.020
 who he

00:11:53.020 --> 00:11:53.660
 truly

00:11:53.660 --> 00:11:54.820
 is.

00:11:55.580 --> 00:11:56.420
 the two

00:11:56.420 --> 00:11:56.860
 verbs

00:11:56.860 --> 00:11:57.139
 have

00:11:57.139 --> 00:11:57.639
 believed

00:11:57.639 --> 00:11:58.000
 and have

00:11:58.000 --> 00:11:58.560
 come to

00:11:58.560 --> 00:11:59.100
 know

00:11:59.100 --> 00:12:00.360
 describe

00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:00.740
 their

00:12:00.740 --> 00:12:01.480
 experience.

00:12:02.660 --> 00:12:03.340
 Together

00:12:03.340 --> 00:12:04.080
 these words

00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:05.040
 reveal something

00:12:05.040 --> 00:12:05.540
 more than

00:12:05.540 --> 00:12:06.180
 simple

00:12:06.180 --> 00:12:08.379
 recitation

00:12:08.379 --> 00:12:09.139
 of facts

00:12:09.139 --> 00:12:09.620
 learned in

00:12:09.620 --> 00:12:10.100
 a lesson.

00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:12.540
 One

00:12:12.540 --> 00:12:13.280
 theologian

00:12:13.280 --> 00:12:13.860
 called it

00:12:13.860 --> 00:12:15.000
 a settled

00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:15.700
 conviction

00:12:15.700 --> 00:12:17.120
 about

00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:17.520
 Jesus'

00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:18.580
 identity.

00:12:18.580 --> 00:12:24.720
 faith comes

00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:25.700
 first and

00:12:25.700 --> 00:12:26.200
 knowledge

00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:26.879
 follows.

00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:29.280
 You don't

00:12:29.280 --> 00:12:29.780
 have to

00:12:29.780 --> 00:12:30.160
 wait

00:12:30.160 --> 00:12:31.680
 until you

00:12:31.680 --> 00:12:32.280
 understand

00:12:32.280 --> 00:12:33.440
 everything about

00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:34.100
 Jesus to

00:12:34.100 --> 00:12:34.800
 believe in him.

00:12:35.340 --> 00:12:36.240
 You believe

00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:38.460
 and he

00:12:38.460 --> 00:12:39.420
 helps you

00:12:39.420 --> 00:12:40.180
 understand.

00:12:42.040 --> 00:12:43.020
 Knowing who

00:12:43.020 --> 00:12:43.860
 Jesus is

00:12:43.860 --> 00:12:44.860
 comes through

00:12:44.860 --> 00:12:45.420
 faith

00:12:45.419 --> 00:12:47.240
 and it

00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:47.899
 is essential

00:12:47.899 --> 00:12:49.539
 to life.

00:12:51.219 --> 00:12:52.000
 At this

00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:52.439
 point in

00:12:52.439 --> 00:12:53.000
 the journey

00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:53.860
 in their

00:12:53.860 --> 00:12:54.379
 journey with

00:12:54.379 --> 00:12:54.819
 Christ

00:12:54.819 --> 00:12:55.319
 the twelve

00:12:55.319 --> 00:12:55.959
 don't fully

00:12:55.959 --> 00:12:56.699
 understand who

00:12:56.699 --> 00:12:57.159
 he is.

00:12:58.179 --> 00:12:58.379
 Their

00:12:58.379 --> 00:12:58.939
 understanding

00:12:58.939 --> 00:12:59.719
 is limited

00:12:59.719 --> 00:13:03.079
 but it

00:13:03.079 --> 00:13:03.579
 is true

00:13:03.579 --> 00:13:05.379
 what they

00:13:05.379 --> 00:13:06.120
 know

00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:06.839
 what they

00:13:06.839 --> 00:13:07.139
 have

00:13:07.139 --> 00:13:07.979
 experienced

00:13:07.979 --> 00:13:10.299
 was gripping

00:13:10.299 --> 00:13:10.899
 to them.

00:13:11.699 --> 00:13:12.179
 They had a

00:13:12.179 --> 00:13:13.099
 firm conviction

00:13:13.100 --> 00:13:14.399
 you are

00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:14.960
 the holy

00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:15.379
 one

00:13:15.379 --> 00:13:16.460
 of God.

00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:20.019
 Now to

00:13:20.019 --> 00:13:20.639
 call Jesus

00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:21.040
 the holy

00:13:21.040 --> 00:13:21.340
 one of

00:13:21.340 --> 00:13:21.680
 God

00:13:21.680 --> 00:13:23.120
 isn't

00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:23.620
 entirely

00:13:23.620 --> 00:13:25.080
 clear

00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:25.560
 because

00:13:25.560 --> 00:13:26.300
 it

00:13:26.300 --> 00:13:26.960
 really

00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:27.519
 wasn't

00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:28.019
 that

00:13:28.019 --> 00:13:29.100
 commonly

00:13:29.100 --> 00:13:30.120
 expressed

00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:31.100
 in the

00:13:31.100 --> 00:13:31.480
 Bible.

00:13:32.300 --> 00:13:32.680
 Perhaps

00:13:32.680 --> 00:13:32.960
 it was

00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:33.259
 common

00:13:33.259 --> 00:13:33.519
 in the

00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:33.700
 day

00:13:33.700 --> 00:13:33.960
 but we

00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:34.120
 only

00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:34.320
 have

00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:34.560
 one

00:13:34.560 --> 00:13:34.940
 other

00:13:34.940 --> 00:13:35.560
 occurrence

00:13:35.560 --> 00:13:36.120
 of it.

00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:37.779
 But the

00:13:37.779 --> 00:13:38.120
 word

00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:38.519
 holy

00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:38.960
 one

00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:39.960
 in

00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:40.360
 scripture

00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:42.019
 is more

00:13:42.019 --> 00:13:42.480
 prominent.

00:13:43.100 --> 00:13:44.120
 It refers

00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:44.519
 to God

00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:45.100
 himself.

00:13:45.940 --> 00:13:46.680
 It refers

00:13:46.680 --> 00:13:47.019
 to the

00:13:47.019 --> 00:13:47.360
 one

00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:48.240
 who is

00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:48.460
 set

00:13:48.460 --> 00:13:48.920
 apart

00:13:48.920 --> 00:13:49.399
 who is

00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:50.159
 pure

00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:50.960
 and

00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:51.440
 sovereign.

00:13:53.259 --> 00:13:54.019
 So

00:13:54.019 --> 00:13:54.340
 a holy

00:13:54.340 --> 00:13:54.560
 one

00:13:54.560 --> 00:13:54.720
 of

00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:55.220
 God

00:13:55.220 --> 00:13:57.279
 referring

00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:57.560
 to

00:13:57.560 --> 00:13:57.960
 Jesus

00:13:57.960 --> 00:13:58.600
 is an

00:13:58.600 --> 00:13:59.100
 amazing

00:13:59.100 --> 00:13:59.980
 title

00:13:59.980 --> 00:14:01.180
 and it

00:14:01.180 --> 00:14:01.440
 only

00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:01.899
 appears

00:14:01.899 --> 00:14:03.139
 in two

00:14:03.139 --> 00:14:03.379
 other

00:14:03.379 --> 00:14:03.820
 verses

00:14:03.820 --> 00:14:05.700
 both

00:14:05.700 --> 00:14:06.279
 describing

00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:06.800
 the same

00:14:06.800 --> 00:14:07.519
 situation

00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:07.920
 where

00:14:07.920 --> 00:14:08.519
 a

00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:09.240
 demoniac

00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:10.399
 cries

00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:11.080
 in fear

00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:11.779
 when seeing

00:14:11.779 --> 00:14:12.179
 Jesus

00:14:12.179 --> 00:14:12.759
 I know

00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:12.939
 who

00:14:12.939 --> 00:14:13.159
 you

00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:13.559
 are

00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:14.399
 the

00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:14.659
 holy

00:14:14.659 --> 00:14:14.879
 one

00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:15.039
 of

00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:15.439
 God

00:14:15.439 --> 00:14:19.059
 even

00:14:19.059 --> 00:14:19.699
 the

00:14:19.699 --> 00:14:20.159
 demons

00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:21.839
 recognized

00:14:21.839 --> 00:14:22.120
 his

00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:22.600
 identity

00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:24.139
 although

00:14:24.139 --> 00:14:24.360
 they

00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:24.679
 didn't

00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:25.120
 love

00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:25.720
 or

00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:26.100
 follow

00:14:26.100 --> 00:14:26.459
 him

00:14:26.459 --> 00:14:28.860
 Peter's

00:14:28.860 --> 00:14:29.259
 confession

00:14:29.259 --> 00:14:29.519
 is

00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:29.860
 different

00:14:29.860 --> 00:14:31.799
 the

00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:32.079
 demon

00:14:32.079 --> 00:14:32.600
 confessed

00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:33.199
 in fear

00:14:33.199 --> 00:14:33.559
 Peter

00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:34.100
 confessed

00:14:34.100 --> 00:14:34.759
 in faith

00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:38.159
 the

00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:38.700
 disciples

00:14:38.700 --> 00:14:39.159
 still

00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:39.399
 had

00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:39.720
 much

00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:39.939
 to

00:14:39.939 --> 00:14:40.399
 learn

00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:41.019
 especially

00:14:41.019 --> 00:14:41.519
 about

00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:42.679
 who

00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:43.120
 Jesus

00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:43.779
 was

00:14:43.779 --> 00:14:44.340
 and

00:14:44.340 --> 00:14:45.340
 the

00:14:45.340 --> 00:14:45.980
 cross

00:14:45.980 --> 00:14:47.659
 the

00:14:47.659 --> 00:14:47.960
 very

00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:48.720
 thing

00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:49.120
 Jesus

00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:49.700
 was trying

00:14:49.700 --> 00:14:49.860
 to

00:14:49.860 --> 00:14:50.319
 communicate

00:14:50.319 --> 00:14:50.860
 in

00:14:50.860 --> 00:14:51.480
 the

00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:51.639
 bread

00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:51.799
 of

00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:52.080
 life

00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:52.639
 discourse

00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:53.039
 but

00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:54.240
 at

00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:54.480
 this

00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:54.740
 point

00:14:54.740 --> 00:14:54.960
 they

00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:55.240
 knew

00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:55.659
 enough

00:14:55.659 --> 00:14:55.899
 to

00:14:55.899 --> 00:14:56.439
 trust

00:14:56.439 --> 00:14:56.840
 him

00:14:56.840 --> 00:14:57.879
 you

00:14:57.879 --> 00:14:58.240
 are

00:14:58.240 --> 00:14:58.460
 from

00:14:58.460 --> 00:14:58.939
 God

00:14:58.939 --> 00:14:59.799
 you

00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:00.000
 are

00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:00.700
 unlike

00:15:00.700 --> 00:15:01.279
 anyone

00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:01.879
 else

00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:02.919
 and

00:15:02.919 --> 00:15:03.120
 you

00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:03.639
 alone

00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:04.139
 have

00:15:04.139 --> 00:15:04.639
 life

00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:09.960
 your

00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:10.759
 endurance

00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:11.600
 in the

00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:11.860
 Christian

00:15:11.860 --> 00:15:12.179
 life

00:15:12.179 --> 00:15:12.700
 depends

00:15:12.700 --> 00:15:14.399
 on

00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:14.559
 what

00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:14.740
 you

00:15:14.740 --> 00:15:15.039
 truly

00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:15.500
 believe

00:15:15.500 --> 00:15:15.799
 about

00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:16.299
 Jesus

00:15:16.299 --> 00:15:18.480
 your

00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:18.879
 faith

00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:19.080
 is

00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:19.419
 based

00:15:19.419 --> 00:15:19.600
 on

00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:20.360
 emotions

00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:21.580
 temporal

00:15:21.580 --> 00:15:22.419
 interests

00:15:22.419 --> 00:15:23.899
 popularity

00:15:23.899 --> 00:15:25.279
 or

00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:25.779
 comfort

00:15:25.779 --> 00:15:26.360
 it

00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:26.580
 will

00:15:26.580 --> 00:15:27.159
 collapse

00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:27.600
 when

00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:28.059
 tested

00:15:28.059 --> 00:15:29.720
 but

00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:29.840
 if

00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:30.039
 it's

00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:30.500
 grounded

00:15:30.500 --> 00:15:30.919
 in a

00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:31.379
 settled

00:15:31.379 --> 00:15:31.960
 conviction

00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:32.320
 of

00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:32.519
 who

00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:32.860
 Jesus

00:15:32.860 --> 00:15:33.439
 is

00:15:33.439 --> 00:15:33.879
 it

00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:34.220
 will

00:15:34.220 --> 00:15:34.600
 stand

00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:34.980
 firm

00:15:34.980 --> 00:15:36.740
 so

00:15:36.740 --> 00:15:36.980
 I

00:15:36.980 --> 00:15:37.379
 encourage

00:15:37.379 --> 00:15:37.559
 you

00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:37.939
 today

00:15:37.939 --> 00:15:38.179
 to

00:15:38.179 --> 00:15:38.659
 anchor

00:15:38.659 --> 00:15:39.100
 your

00:15:39.100 --> 00:15:39.779
 perseverance

00:15:39.779 --> 00:15:41.399
 not

00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:41.720
 in how

00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:41.919
 you

00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:42.279
 feel

00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:42.620
 about

00:15:42.620 --> 00:15:43.139
 Christ

00:15:43.139 --> 00:15:44.220
 but

00:15:44.220 --> 00:15:44.360
 in

00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:44.559
 what

00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:44.720
 you

00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:45.139
 know

00:15:45.139 --> 00:15:45.600
 about

00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:45.840
 him

00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:46.039
 what

00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:46.399
 God

00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:46.799
 has

00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:47.419
 revealed

00:15:47.419 --> 00:15:48.019
 about

00:15:48.019 --> 00:15:48.320
 him

00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:48.600
 and

00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:48.879
 what

00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:49.200
 the

00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:49.720
 spirit

00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:51.200
 confirms

00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:51.600
 in

00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:51.820
 your

00:15:51.820 --> 00:15:52.240
 heart

00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:52.720
 about

00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:53.159
 him

00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:54.360
 daily

00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:54.960
 remind

00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:55.480
 yourself

00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:55.980
 Jesus

00:15:55.980 --> 00:15:56.440
 is

00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:56.620
 the

00:15:56.620 --> 00:15:56.820
 holy

00:15:56.820 --> 00:15:57.019
 one

00:15:57.019 --> 00:15:57.159
 of

00:15:57.159 --> 00:15:57.500
 God

00:15:57.500 --> 00:15:58.320
 he

00:15:58.320 --> 00:15:58.440
 is

00:15:58.440 --> 00:15:58.960
 divine

00:15:58.960 --> 00:15:59.220
 he

00:15:59.220 --> 00:15:59.379
 is

00:15:59.379 --> 00:15:59.860
 trustworthy

00:15:59.860 --> 00:16:00.340
 he

00:16:00.340 --> 00:16:00.500
 is

00:16:00.500 --> 00:16:01.360
 unchanging

00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:03.680
 when

00:16:03.680 --> 00:16:04.019
 doubts

00:16:04.019 --> 00:16:04.500
 whisper

00:16:04.500 --> 00:16:04.899
 when

00:16:04.899 --> 00:16:05.700
 circumstances

00:16:05.700 --> 00:16:06.740
 overwhelm

00:16:06.740 --> 00:16:07.000
 you

00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:07.620
 confess

00:16:07.620 --> 00:16:08.060
 the

00:16:08.060 --> 00:16:08.399
 truth

00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:08.899
 again

00:16:08.899 --> 00:16:11.980
 faith

00:16:11.980 --> 00:16:12.360
 begins

00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:12.580
 by

00:16:12.580 --> 00:16:13.159
 believing

00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:15.639
 that's

00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:15.919
 kind of

00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:16.639
 an oxymoron

00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:17.680
 faith

00:16:17.680 --> 00:16:18.039
 begins

00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:18.240
 by

00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:18.519
 believing

00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:20.519
 endurance

00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:20.519


00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:20.659
 endurance

00:16:20.659 --> 00:16:21.120
 begins

00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:21.340
 by

00:16:21.340 --> 00:16:21.759
 believing

00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:23.659
 and it

00:16:23.659 --> 00:16:24.100
 matures

00:16:24.100 --> 00:16:24.539
 through

00:16:24.539 --> 00:16:25.000
 knowing

00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:26.579
 keep

00:16:26.579 --> 00:16:26.939
 learning

00:16:26.939 --> 00:16:27.579
 Christ

00:16:27.579 --> 00:16:28.159
 read

00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:28.379
 his

00:16:28.379 --> 00:16:28.899
 word

00:16:28.899 --> 00:16:29.439
 worship

00:16:29.439 --> 00:16:30.159
 deeply

00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:31.319
 talk

00:16:31.319 --> 00:16:31.519
 with

00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:31.679
 him

00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:32.179
 often

00:16:32.179 --> 00:16:33.240
 the

00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:33.500
 better

00:16:33.500 --> 00:16:33.720
 you

00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:33.980
 know

00:16:33.980 --> 00:16:34.360
 him

00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:35.500
 the

00:16:35.500 --> 00:16:35.720
 more

00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:36.399
 impossible

00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:36.699
 it

00:16:36.699 --> 00:16:37.360
 becomes

00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:38.340
 to walk

00:16:38.340 --> 00:16:38.840
 away

00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:39.259
 from

00:16:39.259 --> 00:16:39.639
 him

00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:41.639
!

00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:43.799
 Now

00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:44.080
 in the

00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:44.399
 last

00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:45.019
 verses

00:16:45.019 --> 00:16:45.980
 70

00:16:45.980 --> 00:16:46.179
 and

00:16:46.179 --> 00:16:46.699
 71

00:16:46.699 --> 00:16:47.159
 Jesus

00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:47.740
 reminds

00:16:47.740 --> 00:16:48.139
 us

00:16:48.139 --> 00:16:49.000
 something

00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:49.299
 very

00:16:49.299 --> 00:16:49.819
 important

00:16:49.819 --> 00:16:51.500
 that

00:16:51.500 --> 00:16:51.779
 not

00:16:51.779 --> 00:16:52.240
 every

00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:52.779
 follower

00:16:52.779 --> 00:16:53.139
 of

00:16:53.139 --> 00:16:53.600
 Christ

00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:54.519
 is

00:16:54.519 --> 00:16:54.960
 genuine

00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:56.659
 only

00:16:56.659 --> 00:16:57.220
 faith

00:16:57.220 --> 00:16:58.220
 born

00:16:58.220 --> 00:16:58.939
 of

00:16:58.939 --> 00:16:59.580
 grace

00:16:59.580 --> 00:17:01.259
 endures

00:17:01.259 --> 00:17:01.659
 to the

00:17:01.659 --> 00:17:02.019
 end

00:17:02.019 --> 00:17:04.660
 so

00:17:04.660 --> 00:17:05.079
 here's

00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:05.279
 the

00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:05.599
 third

00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:06.720
 point

00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:09.259
 when

00:17:09.259 --> 00:17:09.579
 others

00:17:09.579 --> 00:17:09.799
 are

00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:10.460
 unfaithful

00:17:10.460 --> 00:17:10.740
 all

00:17:10.740 --> 00:17:11.120
 around

00:17:11.120 --> 00:17:11.400
 you

00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:11.640
 you

00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:11.900
 must

00:17:11.900 --> 00:17:12.120
 look

00:17:12.120 --> 00:17:12.299
 to

00:17:12.299 --> 00:17:12.579
 Jesus

00:17:12.579 --> 00:17:13.220
 alone

00:17:13.220 --> 00:17:13.960
 because

00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:14.720
 only

00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:15.519
 grace

00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:17.180
 produced

00:17:17.180 --> 00:17:17.680
 faith

00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:18.200
 in

00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:18.660
 Jesus

00:17:18.660 --> 00:17:19.480
 endures

00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:21.319
 look at

00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:21.519
 verses

00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:22.019
 70

00:17:22.019 --> 00:17:22.799
 and 71

00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:23.620
 Jesus

00:17:23.620 --> 00:17:24.079
 answered

00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:24.319
 them

00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:24.660
 did I

00:17:24.660 --> 00:17:24.940
 not

00:17:24.940 --> 00:17:25.400
 choose

00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:25.680
 you

00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:25.920
 the

00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:26.360
 twelve

00:17:26.360 --> 00:17:26.740
 and yet

00:17:26.740 --> 00:17:27.079
 one

00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:27.240
 of

00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:27.440
 you

00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:27.740
 is

00:17:27.740 --> 00:17:27.920
 a

00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:28.220
 devil

00:17:28.220 --> 00:17:29.940
 he

00:17:29.940 --> 00:17:30.220
 spoke

00:17:30.220 --> 00:17:30.400
 of

00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:30.860
 Judas

00:17:30.860 --> 00:17:31.299
 the

00:17:31.299 --> 00:17:31.500
 son

00:17:31.500 --> 00:17:31.620
 of

00:17:31.620 --> 00:17:32.440
 Simon

00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:33.339
 Iscariot

00:17:33.339 --> 00:17:34.180
 for

00:17:34.180 --> 00:17:34.420
 he

00:17:34.420 --> 00:17:34.680
 one

00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:34.799
 of

00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:34.940
 the

00:17:34.940 --> 00:17:35.299
 twelve

00:17:35.299 --> 00:17:35.759
 was

00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:36.120
 going

00:17:36.120 --> 00:17:36.400
 to

00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:37.100
 betray

00:17:37.100 --> 00:17:37.540
 him

00:17:37.540 --> 00:17:40.820
 now

00:17:40.820 --> 00:17:41.000
 we

00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:41.240
 might

00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:41.580
 be

00:17:41.580 --> 00:17:42.660
 a

00:17:42.660 --> 00:17:42.840
 bit

00:17:42.840 --> 00:17:43.519
 puzzled

00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:44.040
 at

00:17:44.040 --> 00:17:44.360
 Jesus

00:17:44.360 --> 00:17:45.180
 response

00:17:45.180 --> 00:17:45.519
 to

00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:45.880
 Peter's

00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:46.300
 confession

00:17:46.300 --> 00:17:48.440
 he

00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:48.759
 seems

00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:48.960
 to

00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:49.320
 skip

00:17:49.320 --> 00:17:49.660
 over

00:17:49.660 --> 00:17:50.180
 it

00:17:50.180 --> 00:17:51.960
 instead

00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:52.180
 of

00:17:52.180 --> 00:17:52.840
 affirming

00:17:52.840 --> 00:17:53.380
 it

00:17:53.380 --> 00:17:53.900
 or

00:17:53.900 --> 00:17:54.740
 praising

00:17:54.740 --> 00:17:55.380
 him

00:17:55.380 --> 00:17:55.680
 as

00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:56.080
 he

00:17:56.080 --> 00:17:56.440
 appears

00:17:56.440 --> 00:17:56.660
 to

00:17:56.660 --> 00:17:56.820
 do

00:17:56.820 --> 00:17:57.160
 six

00:17:57.160 --> 00:17:57.440
 months

00:17:57.440 --> 00:17:57.780
 later

00:17:57.780 --> 00:17:58.000
 when

00:17:58.000 --> 00:17:58.300
 Peter

00:17:58.300 --> 00:17:58.860
 makes

00:17:58.860 --> 00:17:59.340
 another

00:17:59.340 --> 00:18:01.740
 amazing

00:18:01.740 --> 00:18:02.259
 confession

00:18:02.259 --> 00:18:02.540
 of

00:18:02.540 --> 00:18:02.820
 Jesus

00:18:02.820 --> 00:18:03.480
 identity

00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:03.820
 he

00:18:03.820 --> 00:18:04.120
 says

00:18:04.120 --> 00:18:04.519
 here

00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:04.960
 did I

00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:05.300
 not

00:18:05.300 --> 00:18:05.740
 choose

00:18:05.740 --> 00:18:06.019
 you

00:18:06.019 --> 00:18:06.220
 the

00:18:06.220 --> 00:18:06.599
 twelve

00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:06.759
 and

00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:06.900
 yet

00:18:06.900 --> 00:18:07.099
 one

00:18:07.099 --> 00:18:07.220
 of

00:18:07.220 --> 00:18:07.339
 you

00:18:07.339 --> 00:18:07.480
 is

00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:07.619
 a

00:18:07.619 --> 00:18:07.900
 devil

00:18:07.900 --> 00:18:11.839
 these

00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:12.480
 disciples

00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:12.900
 were

00:18:12.900 --> 00:18:13.460
 likely

00:18:13.460 --> 00:18:14.299
 already

00:18:14.299 --> 00:18:15.359
 startled

00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:15.859
 by the

00:18:15.859 --> 00:18:16.160
 recent

00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:16.700
 events

00:18:16.700 --> 00:18:18.200
 the

00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:19.059
 defections

00:18:19.059 --> 00:18:21.500
 and now

00:18:21.500 --> 00:18:21.819
 they hear

00:18:21.819 --> 00:18:22.180
 Jesus

00:18:22.180 --> 00:18:22.599
 say that

00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:22.900
 one of

00:18:22.900 --> 00:18:23.019
 them

00:18:23.019 --> 00:18:23.619
 is a

00:18:23.619 --> 00:18:23.960
 devil

00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:26.220
 not

00:18:26.220 --> 00:18:26.460
 the

00:18:26.460 --> 00:18:26.759
 most

00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:27.299
 encouraging

00:18:27.299 --> 00:18:28.500
 response

00:18:28.500 --> 00:18:28.720
 to

00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:29.059
 Peter's

00:18:29.059 --> 00:18:29.420
 answer

00:18:29.420 --> 00:18:32.340
 and

00:18:32.340 --> 00:18:32.500
 why

00:18:32.500 --> 00:18:32.759
 might

00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:32.880
 he

00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:33.019
 have

00:18:33.019 --> 00:18:33.259
 said

00:18:33.259 --> 00:18:33.560
 that

00:18:33.560 --> 00:18:35.480
 one

00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:35.840
 reason

00:18:35.840 --> 00:18:36.060
 is

00:18:36.060 --> 00:18:36.440
 likely

00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:36.700
 that

00:18:36.700 --> 00:18:36.820
 he

00:18:36.820 --> 00:18:37.060
 wanted

00:18:37.060 --> 00:18:37.279
 them

00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:37.460
 to

00:18:37.460 --> 00:18:37.660
 know

00:18:37.660 --> 00:18:37.860
 that

00:18:37.860 --> 00:18:38.180
 Peter's

00:18:38.180 --> 00:18:38.580
 confession

00:18:38.580 --> 00:18:39.019
 was not

00:18:39.019 --> 00:18:39.380
 entirely

00:18:39.380 --> 00:18:39.860
 correct

00:18:39.860 --> 00:18:41.400
 one

00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:41.560
 of

00:18:41.560 --> 00:18:41.820
 them

00:18:41.820 --> 00:18:42.400
 did

00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:42.720
 not

00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:43.220
 believe

00:18:43.220 --> 00:18:46.120
 at

00:18:46.120 --> 00:18:46.259
 the

00:18:46.259 --> 00:18:46.480
 moment

00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:46.680
 the

00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:46.920
 others

00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:47.259
 had

00:18:47.259 --> 00:18:47.539
 no

00:18:47.539 --> 00:18:47.980
 clue

00:18:47.980 --> 00:18:48.259
 who

00:18:48.259 --> 00:18:48.400
 he

00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:48.560
 was

00:18:48.560 --> 00:18:48.920
 referring

00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:49.160
 to

00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:49.340
 but

00:18:49.340 --> 00:18:49.600
 John

00:18:49.600 --> 00:18:49.860
 much

00:18:49.860 --> 00:18:50.279
 later

00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:50.820
 writes

00:18:50.820 --> 00:18:51.100
 that

00:18:51.100 --> 00:18:51.240
 he

00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:51.580
 spoke

00:18:51.580 --> 00:18:51.779
 of

00:18:51.779 --> 00:18:52.120
 Judas

00:18:52.120 --> 00:18:52.360
 the

00:18:52.360 --> 00:18:52.539
 son

00:18:52.539 --> 00:18:52.680
 of

00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:53.019
 Simon

00:18:53.019 --> 00:18:53.820
 Iscariot

00:18:53.819 --> 00:18:54.859
 one

00:18:54.859 --> 00:18:55.019
 of

00:18:55.019 --> 00:18:55.200
 the

00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:55.599
 twelve

00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:55.819
 who

00:18:55.819 --> 00:18:55.960
 was

00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:56.179
 going

00:18:56.179 --> 00:18:56.359
 to

00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:56.700
 betray

00:18:56.700 --> 00:18:57.139
 him

00:18:57.139 --> 00:18:59.319
 this

00:18:59.319 --> 00:18:59.700
 Judas

00:18:59.700 --> 00:19:00.119
 walked

00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:00.339
 with

00:19:00.339 --> 00:19:00.740
 Jesus

00:19:00.740 --> 00:19:01.220
 heard

00:19:01.220 --> 00:19:01.439
 his

00:19:01.439 --> 00:19:01.899
 teaching

00:19:01.899 --> 00:19:02.259
 saw

00:19:02.259 --> 00:19:02.500
 his

00:19:02.500 --> 00:19:02.960
 miracles

00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:04.960
 but

00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:05.079
 he

00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:05.359
 never

00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:05.720
 truly

00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:06.299
 believed

00:19:06.299 --> 00:19:07.460
 he

00:19:07.460 --> 00:19:07.720
 looked

00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:07.879
 the

00:19:07.879 --> 00:19:08.179
 part

00:19:08.179 --> 00:19:08.399
 he

00:19:08.399 --> 00:19:08.720
 talked

00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:08.939
 the

00:19:08.939 --> 00:19:09.339
 part

00:19:09.339 --> 00:19:10.019
 he

00:19:10.019 --> 00:19:10.379
 acted

00:19:10.379 --> 00:19:10.619
 the

00:19:10.619 --> 00:19:10.960
 part

00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:13.059
 he

00:19:13.059 --> 00:19:13.359
 even

00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:13.619
 fooled

00:19:13.619 --> 00:19:13.819
 the

00:19:13.819 --> 00:19:14.220
 others

00:19:14.220 --> 00:19:16.359
 but

00:19:16.359 --> 00:19:16.519
 his

00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:16.859
 heart

00:19:16.859 --> 00:19:17.359
 was

00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:17.619
 never

00:19:17.619 --> 00:19:18.379
 changed

00:19:18.379 --> 00:19:20.519
 in

00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:20.839
 making

00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:22.039
 this

00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:22.720
 clarification

00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:23.240
 of

00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:23.720
 Peter's

00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:24.319
 confession

00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:24.759
 Jesus

00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:25.740
 likely

00:19:25.740 --> 00:19:26.279
 wanted

00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:26.559
 to

00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:27.500
 start

00:19:27.500 --> 00:19:28.059
 preparing

00:19:28.059 --> 00:19:28.480
 them

00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:28.860
 for

00:19:28.860 --> 00:19:29.100
 the

00:19:29.100 --> 00:19:29.539
 betrayal

00:19:29.539 --> 00:19:31.259
 he

00:19:31.259 --> 00:19:31.500
 wanted

00:19:31.500 --> 00:19:31.700
 them

00:19:31.700 --> 00:19:31.880
 to

00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:32.339
 know

00:19:32.339 --> 00:19:33.519
 that

00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:33.660
 the

00:19:33.660 --> 00:19:34.200
 unbelief

00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:34.400
 of

00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:34.740
 Jesus

00:19:34.740 --> 00:19:35.500
 did

00:19:35.500 --> 00:19:35.799
 not

00:19:35.799 --> 00:19:36.160
 mean

00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:36.339
 the

00:19:36.339 --> 00:19:37.279
 failure

00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:39.539
 on

00:19:39.539 --> 00:19:39.779
 his

00:19:39.779 --> 00:19:40.079
 part

00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:42.700
 he

00:19:42.700 --> 00:19:42.819
 had

00:19:42.819 --> 00:19:43.140
 chosen

00:19:43.140 --> 00:19:43.380
 the

00:19:43.380 --> 00:19:43.680
 twelve

00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:44.360
 knowing

00:19:44.360 --> 00:19:45.319
 fully

00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:46.000
 knowing

00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:47.700
 that

00:19:47.700 --> 00:19:47.980
 one

00:19:47.980 --> 00:19:48.140
 of

00:19:48.140 --> 00:19:48.380
 them

00:19:48.380 --> 00:19:48.620
 would

00:19:48.620 --> 00:19:48.980
 betray

00:19:48.980 --> 00:19:49.380
 him

00:19:49.380 --> 00:19:52.700
 but

00:19:52.700 --> 00:19:52.860
 the

00:19:52.859 --> 00:19:53.219
 statement

00:19:53.219 --> 00:19:53.779
 also

00:19:53.779 --> 00:19:54.339
 assures

00:19:54.339 --> 00:19:54.959
 us

00:19:54.959 --> 00:19:55.559
 and

00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:55.939
 them

00:19:55.939 --> 00:19:57.279
 that

00:19:57.279 --> 00:19:57.779
 God's

00:19:57.779 --> 00:19:58.279
 purposes

00:19:58.279 --> 00:19:58.959
 were

00:19:58.959 --> 00:19:59.339
 still

00:19:59.339 --> 00:19:59.679
 being

00:19:59.679 --> 00:20:00.240
 fulfilled

00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:01.339
 in

00:20:01.339 --> 00:20:01.679
 spite

00:20:01.679 --> 00:20:01.839
 of

00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:02.099
 that

00:20:02.099 --> 00:20:03.899
 Jesus

00:20:03.899 --> 00:20:04.179
 said

00:20:04.179 --> 00:20:04.659
 earlier

00:20:04.659 --> 00:20:04.939
 that

00:20:04.939 --> 00:20:05.379
 all

00:20:05.379 --> 00:20:05.899
 whom

00:20:05.899 --> 00:20:06.099
 the

00:20:06.099 --> 00:20:06.419
 father

00:20:06.419 --> 00:20:07.799
 had

00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:08.039
 given

00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:08.419
 him

00:20:08.419 --> 00:20:08.859
 would

00:20:08.859 --> 00:20:09.119
 come

00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:09.319
 to

00:20:09.319 --> 00:20:09.579
 him

00:20:09.579 --> 00:20:10.359
 and

00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:10.479
 he

00:20:10.479 --> 00:20:10.639
 would

00:20:10.639 --> 00:20:10.899
 lose

00:20:10.899 --> 00:20:11.159
 none

00:20:11.159 --> 00:20:11.339
 of

00:20:11.339 --> 00:20:11.639
 them

00:20:11.639 --> 00:20:15.479
 Judas'

00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:16.659
 unbelief

00:20:16.660 --> 00:20:19.660
 did

00:20:19.660 --> 00:20:20.080
 not

00:20:20.080 --> 00:20:20.800
 undermine

00:20:20.800 --> 00:20:21.060
 the

00:20:21.060 --> 00:20:21.300
 plan

00:20:21.300 --> 00:20:21.460
 of

00:20:21.460 --> 00:20:21.800
 God

00:20:21.800 --> 00:20:23.620
 it

00:20:23.620 --> 00:20:24.080
 fulfilled

00:20:24.080 --> 00:20:24.480
 it

00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:26.740
 ultimately

00:20:26.740 --> 00:20:27.220
 Judas'

00:20:27.460 --> 00:20:28.100
 unbelief

00:20:28.100 --> 00:20:28.240
 and

00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:28.600
 betrayal

00:20:28.600 --> 00:20:28.900
 would

00:20:28.900 --> 00:20:29.300
 serve

00:20:29.300 --> 00:20:30.420
 God's

00:20:30.420 --> 00:20:30.840
 gracious

00:20:30.840 --> 00:20:32.019
 purpose

00:20:32.019 --> 00:20:33.540
 though

00:20:33.540 --> 00:20:33.900
 Jesus

00:20:33.900 --> 00:20:34.500
 willingly

00:20:34.500 --> 00:20:34.900
 laid

00:20:34.900 --> 00:20:35.100
 down

00:20:35.100 --> 00:20:35.300
 his

00:20:35.300 --> 00:20:35.640
 life

00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:35.880
 to

00:20:35.880 --> 00:20:36.320
 satisfy

00:20:36.320 --> 00:20:36.540
 the

00:20:36.540 --> 00:20:37.180
 demands

00:20:37.180 --> 00:20:37.380
 of

00:20:37.380 --> 00:20:37.800
 justice

00:20:37.800 --> 00:20:38.320
 against

00:20:38.320 --> 00:20:38.800
 us

00:20:38.800 --> 00:20:39.500
 he

00:20:39.500 --> 00:20:39.740
 did

00:20:39.740 --> 00:20:39.880
 it

00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:40.060
 by

00:20:40.060 --> 00:20:40.519
 submitting

00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:40.840
 to

00:20:40.840 --> 00:20:41.060
 the

00:20:41.060 --> 00:20:41.519
 envy

00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:42.740
 the

00:20:42.740 --> 00:20:43.480
 unbelief

00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:44.640
 and the

00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:45.060
 betrayal

00:20:45.060 --> 00:20:45.600
 of his

00:20:45.600 --> 00:20:45.779
 own

00:20:45.779 --> 00:20:46.160
 people

00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:48.640
 God

00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:49.240
 used

00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:49.980
 Judas'

00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:50.920
 unbelief

00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:51.080
 and

00:20:51.080 --> 00:20:51.480
 betrayal

00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:51.800
 to

00:20:51.800 --> 00:20:52.160
 bring

00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:53.060
 life

00:20:53.060 --> 00:20:53.240
 to

00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:53.380
 the

00:20:53.380 --> 00:20:53.720
 world

00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:57.100
 but

00:20:57.100 --> 00:20:57.259
 he

00:20:57.259 --> 00:20:57.480
 had

00:20:57.480 --> 00:20:57.640
 no

00:20:57.640 --> 00:20:58.000
 benefit

00:20:58.000 --> 00:20:58.320
 from

00:20:58.320 --> 00:20:58.560
 it

00:20:58.560 --> 00:21:00.840
 Jesus

00:21:00.840 --> 00:21:01.160
 said

00:21:01.160 --> 00:21:01.560
 later

00:21:01.560 --> 00:21:01.880
 at

00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:02.279
 the

00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:02.640
 last

00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:03.080
 supper

00:21:03.080 --> 00:21:04.840
 the

00:21:04.840 --> 00:21:05.100
 son

00:21:05.100 --> 00:21:05.259
 of

00:21:05.259 --> 00:21:05.540
 man

00:21:05.540 --> 00:21:06.140
 goes

00:21:06.140 --> 00:21:06.640
 as

00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:06.779
 it

00:21:06.779 --> 00:21:06.960
 is

00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:07.259
 written

00:21:07.259 --> 00:21:07.700
 of

00:21:07.700 --> 00:21:08.000
 him

00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:08.380
 but

00:21:08.380 --> 00:21:08.940
 woe

00:21:08.940 --> 00:21:09.080
 to

00:21:09.080 --> 00:21:09.320
 that

00:21:09.320 --> 00:21:09.680
 man

00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:09.920
 by

00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:10.200
 whom

00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:10.400
 the

00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:10.580
 son

00:21:10.580 --> 00:21:10.740
 of

00:21:10.740 --> 00:21:10.960
 man

00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:11.140
 is

00:21:11.140 --> 00:21:11.560
 betrayed

00:21:11.560 --> 00:21:12.900
 it

00:21:12.900 --> 00:21:13.060
 would

00:21:13.060 --> 00:21:13.220
 have

00:21:13.220 --> 00:21:13.380
 been

00:21:13.380 --> 00:21:13.660
 better

00:21:13.660 --> 00:21:13.920
 for

00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:14.220
 him

00:21:14.220 --> 00:21:15.800
 if

00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:15.919
 he

00:21:15.919 --> 00:21:16.059
 had

00:21:16.059 --> 00:21:16.399
 not

00:21:16.399 --> 00:21:16.819
 been

00:21:16.819 --> 00:21:17.279
 born

00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:20.139
 Jesus

00:21:20.139 --> 00:21:20.460
 was

00:21:20.460 --> 00:21:20.879
 preparing

00:21:20.879 --> 00:21:21.240
 his

00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:21.720
 disciples

00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:22.079
 to

00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:22.500
 endure

00:21:22.500 --> 00:21:22.819
 the

00:21:22.819 --> 00:21:23.519
 heartbreak

00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:23.940
 of

00:21:23.940 --> 00:21:24.460
 betrayal

00:21:24.460 --> 00:21:25.859
 he

00:21:25.859 --> 00:21:26.159
 wanted

00:21:26.159 --> 00:21:26.399
 them

00:21:26.399 --> 00:21:26.579
 to

00:21:26.579 --> 00:21:27.279
 understand

00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:28.099
 that

00:21:28.099 --> 00:21:28.460
 real

00:21:28.460 --> 00:21:29.059
 faith

00:21:29.059 --> 00:21:30.240
 genuine

00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:30.879
 faith

00:21:30.879 --> 00:21:32.519
 faith

00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:33.139
 produced

00:21:33.139 --> 00:21:33.440
 by

00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:34.039
 grace

00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:34.659
 would

00:21:34.659 --> 00:21:35.279
 endure

00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:39.159
 even

00:21:39.159 --> 00:21:39.419
 when

00:21:39.419 --> 00:21:39.919
 others

00:21:39.919 --> 00:21:41.059
 fall

00:21:41.059 --> 00:21:41.379
 away

00:21:41.380 --> 00:21:43.620
 I

00:21:43.620 --> 00:21:43.880
 believe

00:21:43.880 --> 00:21:44.200
 Jesus

00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:44.480
 wants

00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:44.700
 us

00:21:44.700 --> 00:21:44.880
 to

00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:45.240
 know

00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:46.720
 that

00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:47.000
 false

00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:47.440
 disciples

00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:47.980
 exist

00:21:47.980 --> 00:21:49.220
 he

00:21:49.220 --> 00:21:49.460
 doesn't

00:21:49.460 --> 00:21:49.640
 want

00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:49.960
 us

00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:50.100
 to

00:21:50.100 --> 00:21:50.280
 go

00:21:50.280 --> 00:21:50.640
 looking

00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:51.120
 around

00:21:51.120 --> 00:21:51.320
 and

00:21:51.320 --> 00:21:51.520
 trying

00:21:51.520 --> 00:21:51.640
 to

00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:51.820
 figure

00:21:51.820 --> 00:21:52.060
 out

00:21:52.060 --> 00:21:52.220
 who

00:21:52.220 --> 00:21:52.360
 they

00:21:52.360 --> 00:21:52.680
 are

00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:53.760
 in

00:21:53.760 --> 00:21:54.620
 fact

00:21:54.620 --> 00:21:54.800
 he

00:21:54.800 --> 00:21:54.980
 told

00:21:54.980 --> 00:21:55.140
 a

00:21:55.140 --> 00:21:55.540
 parable

00:21:55.540 --> 00:21:55.920
 about

00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:56.200
 wheat

00:21:56.200 --> 00:21:56.400
 and

00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:56.760
 tares

00:21:56.760 --> 00:21:57.180
 saying

00:21:57.180 --> 00:21:57.400
 that

00:21:57.400 --> 00:21:57.580
 this

00:21:57.580 --> 00:21:57.740
 is

00:21:57.740 --> 00:21:57.940
 just

00:21:57.940 --> 00:21:58.120
 a

 age

00:22:00.900 --> 00:22:02.780
 God

00:22:02.780 --> 00:22:03.000
 would

00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:03.340
 sort

00:22:03.340 --> 00:22:03.560
 them

00:22:03.560 --> 00:22:03.940
 out

 the

00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:08.820
 same

 him

00:22:09.660 --> 00:22:13.279
 there

00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:13.440
 is

00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:13.560
 a

00:22:13.560 --> 00:22:13.940
 time

00:22:13.940 --> 00:22:15.279
 when

00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:15.519
 those

00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:16.200
 unbelievers

00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:16.560
 will

00:22:16.560 --> 00:22:16.800
 be

00:22:16.800 --> 00:22:17.720
 exposed

00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:19.960
 but

00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:20.120
 it's

00:22:20.120 --> 00:22:20.480
 always

 for

 you're

 this

 unless

00:22:49.940 --> 00:22:50.840
 indeed

 you

00:22:59.780 --> 00:23:00.020
 is

00:23:00.020 --> 00:23:00.360
 not

00:23:00.360 --> 00:23:00.920
 proof

00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:01.780
 of

 proof

00:23:03.360 --> 00:23:04.140
 of

 God's

00:23:04.700 --> 00:23:05.560

 left

 was

00:23:14.320 --> 00:23:14.759
 grace

00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:16.820
 so

00:23:16.820 --> 00:23:17.100
 thank

00:23:17.100 --> 00:23:17.440
 God

00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:17.640
 for

00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:17.779
 the

00:23:17.779 --> 00:23:18.059
 faith

00:23:18.059 --> 00:23:18.240
 that

00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:18.539
 holds

00:23:18.539 --> 00:23:18.820
 you

00:23:18.820 --> 00:23:20.860
 if

00:23:20.860 --> 00:23:20.980
 you

00:23:20.980 --> 00:23:21.140
 are

00:23:21.140 --> 00:23:21.580
 following

00:23:21.580 --> 00:23:22.880
 Christ

00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:23.360
 today

00:23:23.360 --> 00:23:24.059
 it's

00:23:24.059 --> 00:23:24.519
 because

00:23:24.519 --> 00:23:24.799
 his

00:23:24.799 --> 00:23:25.140
 grace

00:23:25.140 --> 00:23:25.420
 has

00:23:25.420 --> 00:23:25.680
 kept

00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:25.920
 you

00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:27.360
 if

00:23:27.360 --> 00:23:27.480
 you

00:23:27.480 --> 00:23:27.860
 struggle

00:23:27.860 --> 00:23:28.120
 with

00:23:28.120 --> 00:23:28.519
 doubt

00:23:28.519 --> 00:23:29.840
 look

00:23:29.840 --> 00:23:30.200
 again

00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:30.420
 to

00:23:30.420 --> 00:23:30.640
 him

00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:30.860
 for

00:23:30.860 --> 00:23:31.480
 assurance

00:23:31.480 --> 00:23:32.779
 his

00:23:32.779 --> 00:23:33.339
 grace

00:23:33.339 --> 00:23:33.900
 produces

00:23:33.900 --> 00:23:35.700
 and

00:23:35.700 --> 00:23:36.339
 preserves

00:23:36.339 --> 00:23:36.700
 true

00:23:36.700 --> 00:23:37.200
 faith

00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:41.519
 a

00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:41.700
 good

00:23:41.700 --> 00:23:42.140
 reflection

00:23:42.140 --> 00:23:42.599
 might

00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:42.980
 be

00:23:42.980 --> 00:23:43.640
 to

00:23:43.640 --> 00:23:43.940
 ask

00:23:43.940 --> 00:23:44.380
 yourselves

00:23:44.380 --> 00:23:44.579
 are

00:23:44.579 --> 00:23:44.720
 you

00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:45.140
 following

00:23:45.140 --> 00:23:45.620
 Jesus

00:23:45.620 --> 00:23:46.799
 for

00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:47.000
 who

00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:47.220
 he

00:23:47.220 --> 00:23:47.620
 is

00:23:47.620 --> 00:23:49.380
 or

00:23:49.380 --> 00:23:49.539
 for

00:23:49.539 --> 00:23:49.740
 what

00:23:49.740 --> 00:23:49.880
 he

00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:50.319
 gives

00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:52.579
 true

00:23:52.579 --> 00:23:53.799
 discipleship

00:23:53.799 --> 00:23:54.220
 flows

00:23:54.220 --> 00:23:54.440
 from

00:23:54.440 --> 00:23:54.759
 love

00:23:54.759 --> 00:23:55.019
 not

00:23:55.019 --> 00:23:55.720
 convenience

00:23:55.720 --> 00:23:57.180
 if

00:23:57.180 --> 00:23:57.319
 your

00:23:57.319 --> 00:23:57.559
 faith

00:23:57.559 --> 00:23:57.720
 is

00:23:57.720 --> 00:23:57.920
 born

00:23:57.920 --> 00:23:58.079
 of

00:23:58.079 --> 00:23:58.440
 grace

00:23:58.440 --> 00:23:58.759
 it

00:23:58.759 --> 00:23:58.960
 will

00:23:58.960 --> 00:23:59.460
 continue

00:23:59.460 --> 00:24:02.660
 so

00:24:02.660 --> 00:24:03.079
 I'd

00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:03.220
 like

00:24:03.220 --> 00:24:03.380
 to

00:24:03.380 --> 00:24:03.740
 conclude

00:24:03.740 --> 00:24:03.960
 by

00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:04.299
 asking

00:24:04.299 --> 00:24:04.680
 what

00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:05.840
 is

00:24:05.840 --> 00:24:06.039
 the

00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:06.319
 Lord

00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:06.759
 saying

00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:07.019
 to

00:24:07.019 --> 00:24:07.279
 us

00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:07.460
 through

00:24:07.460 --> 00:24:07.680
 this

00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:08.200
 passage

00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:10.360
 Jesus'

00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:11.100
 question

00:24:11.100 --> 00:24:11.660
 challenges

00:24:11.660 --> 00:24:12.160
 us

00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:12.519
 do

00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:12.980
 you

00:24:12.980 --> 00:24:13.340
 don't

00:24:13.340 --> 00:24:14.120
 also

00:24:14.120 --> 00:24:14.400
 want

00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:14.519
 to

00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:14.640
 go

00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:15.400
 away

00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:15.620
 do

00:24:15.620 --> 00:24:15.840
 you

00:24:15.840 --> 00:24:17.100
 it's

00:24:17.100 --> 00:24:17.220
 a

00:24:17.220 --> 00:24:17.519
 question

00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:17.740
 for

00:24:17.740 --> 00:24:18.000
 every

00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:18.400
 believer
