00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.400
 Well, good morning, everyone.

00:00:02.220 --> 00:00:04.960
 You'd be grateful to keep your Bibles open there.

00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:07.320
! Esther's 8 through to 10.

00:00:07.379 --> 00:00:10.880
 If you've just joined us, we've been working our way through this book of Esther,

00:00:13.820 --> 00:00:14.839
!

00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:20.379
 particularly realising that it's not just some kind of Cinderella story of some poor orphan Jewish girl

00:00:20.379 --> 00:00:23.280
 who rises to greatness, become the Queen of Persia,

00:00:23.339 --> 00:00:29.800
 but ultimately it's a story about how God brings salvation to his people

00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:37.640
 through silently but sovereignly working through ordinary circumstances of life.

00:00:38.340 --> 00:00:40.439
 And we come to the end of it today.

00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:46.100
 So if you've got the Sir Paul's app, you'll see an outline for today's message, three points there.

00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:52.159
 And we're kicking off with the temporary victory of Esther.

00:00:53.460 --> 00:00:56.799
 So having, well, just to sort of summarise where we've been,

00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:04.060
 King Xerxes was convinced by the narcissistic Haman, who was chief of his administration,

00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:13.979
 to issue a decree to the whole entire Persian empire to kill, destroy and annihilate the Jews,

00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:18.799
 something that Haman himself obviously didn't like the Jews very much.

00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:26.959
 And so last time we met, what we got there was the first stages of glimpses, if you like,

00:01:27.019 --> 00:01:29.759
 of a reversal of fortune in chapter 6,

00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:36.239
 when Xerxes publicly honours Esther's cousin Mordecai,

00:01:36.939 --> 00:01:39.840
 the person who Haman hated the most,

00:01:40.340 --> 00:01:47.459
 publicly honours him just in the nick of time before Haman murders him.

00:01:47.459 --> 00:01:57.859
 And that moment there marked the reversal of fortunes and the swift downfall of Haman.

00:02:00.039 --> 00:02:07.679
 Haman was very soon, from that moment, he was executed on the stake that he himself had built

00:02:07.679 --> 00:02:11.639
 in order to impale Mordecai.

00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:20.259
 And so with Haman's downfall, Mordecai rises to Haman's place of power.

00:02:21.579 --> 00:02:29.119
 And so with Xerxes' original edict to annihilate the Jews, gone out into the empire,

00:02:29.959 --> 00:02:34.639
 and as we've just read, it cannot be reversed, it cannot be repealed.

00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:42.059
 Instead, what now happens is a counter-edict is drawn up,

00:02:42.519 --> 00:02:46.979
 allowing the Jews to defend themselves when they are now attacked.

00:02:46.979 --> 00:02:55.179
 What that means is, without this edict, the Jews would have been breaking the law

00:02:55.179 --> 00:02:58.259
 if they attempted to defend themselves in any way.

00:03:01.399 --> 00:03:07.179
 And the edict, we read, means that not only can they defend themselves,

00:03:07.339 --> 00:03:09.319
 but anyone who attacks them,

00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:14.780
 they can now take possession of all of their property.

00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:19.120
 Now, you would expect that this counter-edict

00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:21.359
 would have put the whole thing to rest,

00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:22.180
 and people would have gone,

00:03:22.340 --> 00:03:24.060
 OK, look, you know, deal's off.

00:03:24.620 --> 00:03:27.639
 Let's just go home and rethink this.

00:03:28.079 --> 00:03:29.740
 You'd think it'd be over, but it wasn't.

00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:31.599
 Not in any sense.

00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:34.620
 In fact, quite a number were willing to carry through

00:03:34.620 --> 00:03:38.360
 with the original edict, even in the citadel,

00:03:38.580 --> 00:03:42.719
 which we might remember from the very first message.

00:03:42.920 --> 00:03:45.599
 The citadel is the seat of power and influence.

00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:47.539
 Even there in the palace,

00:03:48.700 --> 00:03:52.000
 there are more than 500 who wanted to kill the Jews.

00:03:54.200 --> 00:03:57.219
 Verse 16 says that at the end of the day,

00:03:57.780 --> 00:03:59.740
 75,000 were killed.

00:03:59.740 --> 00:04:05.719
 75,000 attacked the Jews on that day

00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:08.280
 in order to kill and annihilate them.

00:04:08.780 --> 00:04:16.019
 And the only ones named of those 75,000

00:04:16.019 --> 00:04:18.900
 are the, well done, Anne,

00:04:20.840 --> 00:04:24.579
 the Haman's sons with names you just can't pronounce.

00:04:27.400 --> 00:04:28.000
 Why?

00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:30.939
 Why name his 10 sons?

00:04:33.019 --> 00:04:35.439
 I think for one really important reason.

00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:38.199
 There's a couple, but I'll give you one important reason.

00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:40.480
 At the end of chapter 5,

00:04:41.259 --> 00:04:44.860
 when Haman's ego was bruised by Mordecai

00:04:44.860 --> 00:04:47.819
 because Mordecai would not bow down and honour him

00:04:47.819 --> 00:04:49.660
 as he thought that he should be doing,

00:04:50.220 --> 00:04:53.339
 he goes home, gathers all of his friends and his family

00:04:53.339 --> 00:04:54.420
 and has a boast fest.

00:04:54.420 --> 00:04:59.220
 He boasted about three things in chapter 5

00:04:59.220 --> 00:05:04.920
 to reveal that he was a man worthy to be honoured.

00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:07.740
 He boasted about his power,

00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:10.080
 he boasted about his wealth

00:05:10.080 --> 00:05:12.840
 and he boasted about his sons,

00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:17.079
 which is another way of boasting about his legacy

00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:20.219
 and about his name going on beyond him.

00:05:20.220 --> 00:05:24.100
 And in chapter 7,

00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:28.180
 we see the reversal happening.

00:05:29.520 --> 00:05:31.360
 His position is taken away from him

00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:34.760
 and given to Mordecai in chapter 8.

00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:38.000
 In chapter 8, his wealth is taken away from him

00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.380
 and as we just read, given to Esther.

00:05:40.379 --> 00:05:46.279
 And now his sons, following through with their father's plan

00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:47.579
 to annihilate the Jews,

00:05:48.459 --> 00:05:50.699
 his sons are now taken away from him.

00:05:50.980 --> 00:05:53.899
 In other words, his name is no longer.

00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:56.519
 His name, his heritage is over.

00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:57.459
 He is finished.

00:05:57.540 --> 00:05:58.560
 His legacy is done.

00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:02.459
 The great reversal of Haman,

00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.879
 who set himself up against God's people,

00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:07.680
 is now complete.

00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:13.959
 Every basis of his boasting has now been removed.

00:06:14.780 --> 00:06:17.019
 All that he built his life on,

00:06:17.660 --> 00:06:21.000
 all that his ego, that pumped up his ego, is gone.

00:06:22.379 --> 00:06:24.579
 The one who boasted,

00:06:24.780 --> 00:06:28.860
 the one who profoundly proud in heart

00:06:28.860 --> 00:06:33.319
 has now been deeply and completely, totally humbled.

00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:40.379
 Regardless, having said all of that,

00:06:41.659 --> 00:06:45.199
 in the sense that there is a sense of poetic justice here,

00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:49.159
 regardless of that, in this narrative,

00:06:49.159 --> 00:06:54.579
 many in our society struggle with the Bible

00:06:54.579 --> 00:06:59.719
 portraying God's people like this,

00:06:59.939 --> 00:07:01.759
 executing judgment on others.

00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:06.500
 Our citizens of modern Western civilization

00:07:06.500 --> 00:07:10.519
 are a product of a culture

00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:17.039
 that has normalized unconditional self-acceptance.

00:07:19.039 --> 00:07:22.360
 That is our normal response,

00:07:23.420 --> 00:07:25.719
 unconditional self-acceptance.

00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:30.620
 And so, because we are drilled into us

00:07:30.620 --> 00:07:31.860
 from a very young age,

00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:34.020
 that we must accept ourself,

00:07:35.020 --> 00:07:36.380
 who we are.

00:07:37.140 --> 00:07:40.500
 And it's the dominant theme of self-acceptance.

00:07:40.740 --> 00:07:44.120
 When it comes to hearing about God's acceptance of us,

00:07:44.460 --> 00:07:46.560
 that's not so amazing.

00:07:48.140 --> 00:07:50.560
 What else would we expect God to do?

00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:53.319
 That's his job.

00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:56.879
 His job is to accept me as I have accepted me.

00:07:58.459 --> 00:08:00.560
 In fact, the idea of grace

00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:05.540
 in Western civilization is not so amazing.

00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:07.639
 It's God's job.

00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:11.160
 That's what we expect him to do,

00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:14.860
 to accept me as I have accepted me.

00:08:14.860 --> 00:08:18.000
 And yet, in our same culture,

00:08:18.100 --> 00:08:21.879
 the idea that God would stand in judgment of humanity

00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:24.900
 and demand from us repentance

00:08:24.900 --> 00:08:27.740
 or obedience of any form at all,

00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:31.800
 and the idea that he will finally condemn

00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:34.120
 all those who proudly reject him

00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:35.919
 and set themselves up against him,

00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:37.800
 as we have a glimpse here of Haman,

00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:44.359
 that concept is shockingly counterintuitive to us,

00:08:45.099 --> 00:08:46.620
 deeply perplexing.

00:08:47.539 --> 00:08:49.000
 How can God,

00:08:49.379 --> 00:08:51.519
 who we have created in our own image,

00:08:51.620 --> 00:08:52.639
 a God of love,

00:08:52.899 --> 00:08:54.399
 also hold us accountable?

00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:55.639
 That is perplexing.

00:08:59.039 --> 00:08:59.899
 And so, therefore,

00:09:00.219 --> 00:09:01.719
 in our civilization,

00:09:01.959 --> 00:09:02.879
 our society,

00:09:03.439 --> 00:09:06.620
 there are some aspects of the Christian faith

00:09:06.620 --> 00:09:08.340
 which we want to go,

00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:10.480
 that's absolutely right, of course,

00:09:10.560 --> 00:09:14.159
 because it agrees with our worldview,

00:09:15.019 --> 00:09:16.539
 but there are others,

00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:18.360
 aspects of the Christian faith

00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:20.679
 that we think are fundamentally dangerous

00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:22.899
 and we would despise

00:09:22.899 --> 00:09:25.399
 because it sets itself up against our worldview.

00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:29.179
 The bigger picture here

00:09:29.179 --> 00:09:30.820
 that's happening here

00:09:30.820 --> 00:09:33.519
 is that God's anger at his enemy

00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:38.439
 is not some kind of cranky explosion.

00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:42.139
 It's not an act of revenge.

00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:46.500
 God's acts of justice and retribution

00:09:46.500 --> 00:09:47.559
 in the Bible

00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:50.259
 are his settled opposition

00:09:50.259 --> 00:09:52.500
 to the cancer

00:09:52.500 --> 00:09:55.980
 which is eating out the insides of humanity,

00:09:56.659 --> 00:09:58.139
 the cancer of sin,

00:09:58.139 --> 00:10:01.980
 a humanity that is created

00:10:01.980 --> 00:10:03.419
 in his image

00:10:03.419 --> 00:10:05.879
 to enjoy relationship with him,

00:10:06.100 --> 00:10:07.960
 a humanity that he loves

00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:10.080
 with his whole being.

00:10:11.139 --> 00:10:12.080
 And the Bible says

00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:13.139
 that God's anger

00:10:13.139 --> 00:10:15.500
 flows from his love

00:10:15.500 --> 00:10:16.679
 and his delight

00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:18.860
 in that which he has created

00:10:18.860 --> 00:10:20.699
 to be enjoyed.

00:10:22.779 --> 00:10:25.100
 He is angry at evil

00:10:25.100 --> 00:10:25.960
 and injustice.

00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:28.360
 He is angry

00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:30.100
 at the pride of humanity

00:10:30.100 --> 00:10:31.960
 that sets itself up against him

00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:34.500
 because it is destroying

00:10:34.500 --> 00:10:35.639
 the peace

00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:36.680
 and the integrity

00:10:36.680 --> 00:10:38.580
 of what he has made.

00:10:40.540 --> 00:10:42.360
 God's punishment of evil

00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:44.320
 is not an overreach.

00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:48.259
 It is certainly shocking

00:10:48.259 --> 00:10:51.139
 and it is certainly terrifying.

00:10:52.259 --> 00:10:53.940
 That's what images of this

00:10:53.940 --> 00:10:54.740
 like Esther

00:10:54.740 --> 00:10:55.820
 is meant to,

00:10:56.560 --> 00:10:57.440
 the conclusion

00:10:57.440 --> 00:10:59.980
 is meant us to be.

00:11:01.580 --> 00:11:03.360
 It is his justice.

00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:06.480
 In that sense,

00:11:06.580 --> 00:11:08.220
 the punishment fits the crime

00:11:08.220 --> 00:11:10.420
 and it's the kind of justice

00:11:10.420 --> 00:11:11.920
 that we want to live for,

00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:13.240
 we want in society.

00:11:14.740 --> 00:11:15.600
 We want,

00:11:15.700 --> 00:11:17.280
 if someone does wrong to me,

00:11:17.620 --> 00:11:18.980
 we want wrong

00:11:18.980 --> 00:11:20.460
 to be done to them.

00:11:20.460 --> 00:11:22.800
 We want justice

00:11:22.800 --> 00:11:23.700
 in that moment.

00:11:24.340 --> 00:11:25.420
 We want the punishment

00:11:25.420 --> 00:11:26.379
 to fit the crime.

00:11:28.740 --> 00:11:29.780
 And so the Bible

00:11:29.780 --> 00:11:30.900
 clearly declares

00:11:30.900 --> 00:11:32.180
 that those who proudly

00:11:32.180 --> 00:11:33.180
 set themselves up

00:11:33.180 --> 00:11:34.040
 against God

00:11:34.040 --> 00:11:34.860
 in life

00:11:34.860 --> 00:11:37.960
 will be brought low.

00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:42.259
 They will be humbled.

00:11:43.100 --> 00:11:44.680
 They will be held accountable.

00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:47.220
 They will be punished.

00:11:47.220 --> 00:11:51.620
 But notice something else

00:11:51.620 --> 00:11:52.420
 in this text.

00:11:53.220 --> 00:11:54.480
 A couple of times

00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:55.240
 in these verses,

00:11:55.660 --> 00:11:57.440
 we are told very clearly

00:11:57.440 --> 00:11:59.759
 that the wealth,

00:12:00.379 --> 00:12:01.800
 the Jews did not take

00:12:01.800 --> 00:12:02.500
 the wealth

00:12:02.500 --> 00:12:03.500
 of their attackers.

00:12:04.779 --> 00:12:06.920
 Even though Xerxes' edict,

00:12:07.340 --> 00:12:07.980
 the law,

00:12:08.580 --> 00:12:09.820
 said that they could.

00:12:10.300 --> 00:12:11.420
 As they acted

00:12:11.420 --> 00:12:12.560
 in self-defence,

00:12:13.100 --> 00:12:13.620
 they were allowed

00:12:13.620 --> 00:12:14.920
 to take the plunder

00:12:14.920 --> 00:12:16.440
 of those who attacked them.

00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:17.700
 but they didn't.

00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:19.800
 Emphatically,

00:12:20.020 --> 00:12:20.920
 three times,

00:12:21.400 --> 00:12:22.200
 they didn't.

00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:24.220
 In other words,

00:12:24.680 --> 00:12:25.420
 the bloodshed

00:12:25.420 --> 00:12:26.840
 that we read of here

00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:28.060
 was an act

00:12:28.060 --> 00:12:29.900
 of self-defence

00:12:29.900 --> 00:12:31.300
 against tens

00:12:31.300 --> 00:12:32.120
 of thousands

00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:32.860
 of people

00:12:32.860 --> 00:12:34.660
 who wanted them dead

00:12:34.660 --> 00:12:36.080
 for no reason

00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:38.260
 than their race,

00:12:39.220 --> 00:12:40.180
 than their culture,

00:12:40.760 --> 00:12:41.660
 or their religion.

00:12:42.660 --> 00:12:44.540
 For no other reason

00:12:44.539 --> 00:12:45.179
 than that.

00:12:47.179 --> 00:12:48.120
 In other words,

00:12:48.179 --> 00:12:49.019
 this is not,

00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:50.219
 what we are reading here

00:12:50.219 --> 00:12:51.899
 is not an act

00:12:51.899 --> 00:12:53.399
 of imperial action

00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:54.919
 by which they were

00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:56.139
 enriching themselves

00:12:56.139 --> 00:12:57.159
 and increasing

00:12:57.159 --> 00:12:57.980
 their power.

00:12:57.980 --> 00:13:01.399
 we are told

00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:02.300
 several times

00:13:02.300 --> 00:13:03.139
 they needed

00:13:03.139 --> 00:13:03.840
 relief

00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:05.259
 from their enemies

00:13:05.259 --> 00:13:06.600
 who were seeking

00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:07.840
 to annihilate them.

00:13:11.820 --> 00:13:12.519
 And chapter 9,

00:13:12.560 --> 00:13:13.620
 verse 17

00:13:13.620 --> 00:13:14.399
 tells us

00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:15.159
 that that relief

00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:15.840
 from their enemies

00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:17.680
 is exactly what they got.

00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:19.039
 They rested

00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:19.879
 and made it

00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:20.360
 a day

00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:21.759
 of feasting

00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:22.420
 and joy.

00:13:22.419 --> 00:13:24.659
 And this particular day

00:13:24.659 --> 00:13:26.879
 became an annual day

00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:29.299
 of celebration

00:13:29.299 --> 00:13:30.659
 for,

00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:31.519
 of salvation

00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:32.479
 and rescue

00:13:32.479 --> 00:13:33.819
 and rest from enemies

00:13:33.819 --> 00:13:35.000
 for the Jewish nation.

00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:37.159
 However,

00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:37.919
 let me just say

00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:38.939
 as we get to there,

00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:41.439
 this is nothing new.

00:13:42.779 --> 00:13:43.979
 What we're experiencing

00:13:43.979 --> 00:13:44.839
 here at the end of Esther,

00:13:44.959 --> 00:13:45.899
 this is nothing new

00:13:45.899 --> 00:13:47.199
 for God's historic people

00:13:47.199 --> 00:13:48.000
 in the Old Testament.

00:13:48.899 --> 00:13:50.639
 They have a track record

00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:51.539
 of leaders

00:13:51.539 --> 00:13:53.559
 who give them rest

00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:55.100
 temporarily.

00:13:56.220 --> 00:13:57.860
 Moses gave it to them

00:13:57.860 --> 00:13:58.580
 for a little while.

00:13:59.019 --> 00:14:00.080
 Joshua gave it to them

00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:00.580
 for a little while.

00:14:00.659 --> 00:14:01.399
 Then there's the judges

00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:02.139
 and there's David

00:14:02.139 --> 00:14:03.000
 and then there's Solomon

00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:04.340
 and now Esther.

00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:06.480
 There's relief

00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:08.480
 but it doesn't last.

00:14:09.220 --> 00:14:10.019
 It's temporary.

00:14:12.059 --> 00:14:13.360
 And we even see it here

00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:14.779
 because tacked on the end

00:14:14.779 --> 00:14:15.500
 of this book

00:14:15.500 --> 00:14:17.519
 rather awkwardly

00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:19.840
 is this little postscript

00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:22.300
 in Esther chapter 10.

00:14:25.040 --> 00:14:27.080
 King Xerxes imposed tribute

00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:28.780
 throughout the empire

00:14:28.780 --> 00:14:30.280
 to its distant shores

00:14:30.280 --> 00:14:32.440
 and all his acts

00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:33.660
 of power and might

00:14:33.660 --> 00:14:35.980
 together with a full account

00:14:35.980 --> 00:14:37.560
 of the greatness of Mordecai

00:14:37.560 --> 00:14:39.060
 whom the king

00:14:39.060 --> 00:14:41.100
 had promoted.

00:14:41.920 --> 00:14:43.139
 Now at first glance,

00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:44.379
 you read those verses

00:14:44.379 --> 00:14:44.720
 and you go,

00:14:45.300 --> 00:14:46.259
 I mean, okay, great.

00:14:46.379 --> 00:14:47.220
 You know, a little postscript.

00:14:47.580 --> 00:14:48.519
 What are they there for?

00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:51.179
 However, in the context

00:14:51.179 --> 00:14:52.600
 of Esther

00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:54.460
 and the great victory

00:14:54.460 --> 00:14:56.399
 that means one here

00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:57.879
 for God's people

00:14:57.879 --> 00:14:59.419
 against people

00:14:59.419 --> 00:15:00.179
 who were seeking

00:15:00.179 --> 00:15:01.360
 to annihilate them,

00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:03.919
 what these little verses

00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:04.579
 show us

00:15:04.579 --> 00:15:05.500
 is that nothing

00:15:05.500 --> 00:15:07.079
 has actually changed

00:15:07.079 --> 00:15:07.639
 at all.

00:15:09.299 --> 00:15:10.019
 Xerxes,

00:15:10.019 --> 00:15:15.299
 the ruler of Persia,

00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:16.879
 the kingdom

00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:17.779
 that is oppressing

00:15:17.779 --> 00:15:18.639
 God's people

00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:20.480
 is still king.

00:15:22.419 --> 00:15:24.600
 And his personal interests

00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:26.379
 remain paramount

00:15:26.379 --> 00:15:27.399
 regardless

00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:28.299
 of the cost

00:15:28.299 --> 00:15:29.120
 of his subjects.

00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:33.320
 At least 75,000

00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:34.419
 of his subjects

00:15:34.419 --> 00:15:35.700
 have just died

00:15:35.700 --> 00:15:38.600
 and it says here

00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:40.620
 that he imposed tribute

00:15:40.620 --> 00:15:42.179
 throughout the empire.

00:15:43.779 --> 00:15:44.179
 He didn't,

00:15:44.620 --> 00:15:45.720
 there's no day of mourning.

00:15:48.419 --> 00:15:49.000
 A tribute

00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:52.539
 is either a new tax

00:15:52.539 --> 00:15:55.259
 or it's constricting

00:15:55.259 --> 00:15:55.839
 people

00:15:55.839 --> 00:15:57.019
 into forced labour.

00:15:57.980 --> 00:15:59.379
 That's his response.

00:16:01.860 --> 00:16:02.719
 God's people

00:16:02.719 --> 00:16:03.779
 have received

00:16:03.779 --> 00:16:04.319
 rest

00:16:04.319 --> 00:16:04.879
 from

00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:06.279
 one enemy

00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:08.079
 but they have yet

00:16:08.079 --> 00:16:09.120
 to receive rest

00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:10.319
 from Xerxes himself.

00:16:11.699 --> 00:16:12.740
 And so their relief

00:16:12.740 --> 00:16:13.099
 here

00:16:13.099 --> 00:16:14.399
 is temporary

00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:15.799
 and it is fragile

00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:17.399
 as the next day

00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:18.259
 they start paying

00:16:18.259 --> 00:16:19.000
 more taxes

00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:20.379
 and they start

00:16:20.379 --> 00:16:21.139
 getting back

00:16:21.139 --> 00:16:22.240
 into slave labour.

00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:27.240
 And so it's

00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:28.759
 during this time

00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:29.639
 in the history

00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:31.019
 of God's people

00:16:31.019 --> 00:16:32.740
 that the

00:16:32.740 --> 00:16:33.759
 latter prophets

00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:34.759
 of the Old Testament

00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:36.200
 began to prophesy

00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:37.980
 that there will

00:16:37.980 --> 00:16:38.460
 someday

00:16:38.460 --> 00:16:39.519
 be a Messiah

00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:41.620
 and a Messiah

00:16:41.620 --> 00:16:42.580
 who will come

00:16:42.580 --> 00:16:44.039
 and this Messiah

00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:44.940
 will provide

00:16:44.940 --> 00:16:46.419
 for them

00:16:46.419 --> 00:16:48.139
 ultimate rest.

00:16:48.139 --> 00:16:49.639
 a final rest

00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:51.179
 a final peace.

00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:52.480
 In fact

00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:53.559
 Daniel chapter 7

00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:54.740
 who writes

00:16:54.740 --> 00:16:55.840
 during this time

00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:56.720
 of exile

00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:58.039
 talks about

00:16:58.039 --> 00:16:59.179
 this one

00:16:59.179 --> 00:17:00.080
 as being

00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:01.240
 the son of man

00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:03.120
 a powerful figure

00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:04.099
 who will have

00:17:04.099 --> 00:17:05.220
 great authority

00:17:05.220 --> 00:17:06.639
 direct from God

00:17:06.639 --> 00:17:07.599
 who will come

00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:08.539
 and wage war

00:17:08.539 --> 00:17:10.079
 against all evil

00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:11.319
 all injustice

00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:12.660
 and bring about

00:17:12.660 --> 00:17:14.339
 the final rest

00:17:14.339 --> 00:17:15.019
 of those

00:17:15.019 --> 00:17:15.940
 who are God's people.

00:17:15.940 --> 00:17:19.420
 and that final

00:17:19.420 --> 00:17:20.380
 victory comes

00:17:20.380 --> 00:17:21.140
 in the person

00:17:21.140 --> 00:17:21.740
 of Jesus.

00:17:23.120 --> 00:17:23.600
 Because several

00:17:23.600 --> 00:17:24.160
 hundred years

00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:24.720
 later

00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:25.680
 Jesus of

00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:26.180
 Nazareth

00:17:26.180 --> 00:17:28.039
 suddenly bursts

00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:29.220
 into the scene

00:17:29.220 --> 00:17:30.120
 the first century

00:17:30.120 --> 00:17:30.680
 Palestine

00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:31.960
 and the masses

00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:32.799
 there wondered

00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:34.220
 who is this

00:17:34.220 --> 00:17:34.559
 one

00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:35.400
 who is such

00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:36.000
 authority

00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:36.500
 with such

00:17:36.500 --> 00:17:37.019
 power

00:17:37.019 --> 00:17:37.660
 not just

00:17:37.660 --> 00:17:37.980
 with his

00:17:37.980 --> 00:17:38.340
 teaching

00:17:38.340 --> 00:17:38.980
 but the things

00:17:38.980 --> 00:17:39.660
 that he does

00:17:39.660 --> 00:17:40.539
 and Jesus

00:17:40.539 --> 00:17:41.059
 says

00:17:41.059 --> 00:17:42.039
 I am

00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:43.500
 the son of man

00:17:43.500 --> 00:17:46.599
 and I've come

00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:47.659
 to forgive sins.

00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:51.240
 That is

00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:52.339
 he's the son of man

00:17:52.339 --> 00:17:53.119
 from God

00:17:53.119 --> 00:17:54.200
 with God's authority

00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:55.480
 waging war

00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:57.159
 against humanity's

00:17:57.159 --> 00:17:58.799
 greatest enemy

00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:01.299
 sin

00:18:01.299 --> 00:18:03.759
 and its consequence

00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:04.859
 eternal death.

00:18:04.859 --> 00:18:07.759
 that's our

00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:08.159
 greatest

00:18:08.159 --> 00:18:09.139
 that's our

00:18:09.139 --> 00:18:10.599
 greatest enemy

00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:11.939
 and this

00:18:11.939 --> 00:18:12.399
 is

00:18:12.399 --> 00:18:12.939
 his

00:18:12.939 --> 00:18:13.399
 mission

00:18:13.399 --> 00:18:16.839
 but right

00:18:16.839 --> 00:18:17.359
 from the very

00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:17.759
 beginning

00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:18.439
 Jesus is

00:18:18.439 --> 00:18:18.919
 rejected

00:18:18.919 --> 00:18:21.339
 rejected

00:18:21.339 --> 00:18:22.139
 as the

00:18:22.139 --> 00:18:22.719
 son of man

00:18:22.719 --> 00:18:26.299
 and this

00:18:26.299 --> 00:18:26.779
 is where

00:18:26.779 --> 00:18:27.299
 we see

00:18:27.299 --> 00:18:27.699
 Jesus

00:18:27.699 --> 00:18:28.159
 treating

00:18:28.159 --> 00:18:28.839
 his enemies

00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:29.719
 quite differently.

00:18:30.939 --> 00:18:31.659
 In Luke

00:18:31.659 --> 00:18:32.179
 chapter 9

00:18:32.179 --> 00:18:32.799
 there's a place

00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:33.259
 where some

00:18:33.259 --> 00:18:33.619
 people

00:18:33.619 --> 00:18:33.919
 in fact

00:18:33.919 --> 00:18:34.259
 right at the

00:18:34.259 --> 00:18:34.779
 very beginning

00:18:34.779 --> 00:18:36.539
 of his

00:18:36.539 --> 00:18:36.920
 public

00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:37.420
 ministry

00:18:37.420 --> 00:18:38.660
 he's

00:18:38.660 --> 00:18:39.819
 rejected

00:18:39.819 --> 00:18:41.399
 and they

00:18:41.399 --> 00:18:42.220
 show themselves

00:18:42.220 --> 00:18:42.859
 to be

00:18:42.859 --> 00:18:43.799
 an enemy

00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:44.879
 of Jesus

00:18:44.879 --> 00:18:45.660
 and enemies

00:18:45.660 --> 00:18:46.379
 of disciples

00:18:46.379 --> 00:18:47.079
 of Jesus

00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:47.559
 an enemy

00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:48.059
 against the

00:18:48.059 --> 00:18:48.440
 mission of

00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:48.740
 Jesus

00:18:48.740 --> 00:18:49.740
 and the

00:18:49.740 --> 00:18:50.200
 disciples

00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:50.819
 turn to

00:18:50.819 --> 00:18:51.059
 Jesus

00:18:51.059 --> 00:18:51.519
 say to

00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:51.779
 him

00:18:51.779 --> 00:18:52.940
 you know

00:18:52.940 --> 00:18:53.460
 Jesus

00:18:53.460 --> 00:18:54.539
 do you

00:18:54.539 --> 00:18:55.299
 want us

00:18:55.299 --> 00:18:55.559
 to call

00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:56.240
 down fire

00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:56.759
 from heaven

00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:57.799
 and just

00:18:57.799 --> 00:18:58.460
 obliterate

00:18:58.460 --> 00:18:58.819
 this little

00:18:58.819 --> 00:18:59.480
 village here

00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:00.440
 you want us

00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:00.740
 to take

00:19:00.740 --> 00:19:01.059
 them out

00:19:01.059 --> 00:19:01.399
 you know

00:19:01.399 --> 00:19:02.059
 call in

00:19:02.059 --> 00:19:02.359
 nuclear

00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:02.940
 strike

00:19:02.940 --> 00:19:03.639
 the smart

00:19:03.639 --> 00:19:04.000
 bombs

00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:06.740
 in other

00:19:06.740 --> 00:19:06.960
 words

00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:07.220
 what the

00:19:07.220 --> 00:19:07.559
 disciples

00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:07.940
 are saying

00:19:07.940 --> 00:19:08.359
 to Jesus

00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:09.019
 you are

00:19:09.019 --> 00:19:09.299
 the son

00:19:09.299 --> 00:19:09.619
 of man

00:19:09.619 --> 00:19:10.059
 aren't you

00:19:10.059 --> 00:19:10.640
 you are

00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:10.880
 the one

00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:11.440
 Daniel 7

00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:12.059
 said about

00:19:12.059 --> 00:19:13.539
 so show us

00:19:13.539 --> 00:19:14.259
 your power

00:19:14.259 --> 00:19:15.140
 and defeat

00:19:15.140 --> 00:19:15.740
 your enemy

00:19:15.740 --> 00:19:16.380
 right now

00:19:16.380 --> 00:19:16.680
 and these

00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:17.220
 people here

00:19:17.220 --> 00:19:17.480
 are your

00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:17.839
 enemy

00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:20.299
 and Jesus

00:19:20.299 --> 00:19:20.859
 rebuked

00:19:20.859 --> 00:19:21.079
 them

00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:22.919
 and he

00:19:22.919 --> 00:19:23.359
 says love

00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:23.980
 your enemies

00:19:23.980 --> 00:19:25.179
 forgive

00:19:25.179 --> 00:19:25.839
 your enemies

00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:29.619
 and it

00:19:29.619 --> 00:19:30.099
 wasn't

00:19:30.099 --> 00:19:30.919
 until

00:19:30.919 --> 00:19:32.359
 his main

00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:33.079
 disciples

00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:34.799
 had been

00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:35.299
 with him

00:19:35.299 --> 00:19:36.159
 for three

00:19:36.159 --> 00:19:36.959
 years

00:19:36.959 --> 00:19:38.439
 that they

00:19:38.439 --> 00:19:39.519
 finally got

00:19:39.519 --> 00:19:40.579
 it at the

00:19:40.579 --> 00:19:41.480
 very end

00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:43.759
 and they

00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:44.259
 didn't like

00:19:44.259 --> 00:19:44.579
 it

00:19:44.579 --> 00:19:47.199
 on the

00:19:47.199 --> 00:19:47.579
 night of

00:19:47.579 --> 00:19:47.779
 his

00:19:47.779 --> 00:19:48.639
 crucifixion

00:19:48.639 --> 00:19:48.919
 his

00:19:48.919 --> 00:19:49.439
 enemies

00:19:49.439 --> 00:19:51.099
 in this

00:19:51.099 --> 00:19:51.599
 case

00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:52.579
 not

00:19:52.579 --> 00:19:53.240
 the

00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:53.879
 oppressive

00:19:53.879 --> 00:19:54.379
 rulers

00:19:54.379 --> 00:19:54.699
 the

00:19:54.699 --> 00:19:55.079
 Romans

00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:55.599
 but it

00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:55.899
 was the

00:19:55.899 --> 00:19:56.199
 Romans

00:19:56.199 --> 00:19:57.059
 and the

00:19:57.059 --> 00:19:57.480
 Jews

00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:00.379
 came in

00:20:00.379 --> 00:20:00.899
 force to

00:20:00.899 --> 00:20:01.419
 arrest him

00:20:01.419 --> 00:20:01.639
 in the

00:20:01.639 --> 00:20:02.039
 garden of

00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:02.659
 Gethsemane

00:20:02.659 --> 00:20:04.539
 and Jesus

00:20:04.539 --> 00:20:05.099
 mate

00:20:05.099 --> 00:20:05.539
 Peter

00:20:05.539 --> 00:20:06.720
 slow on

00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:07.159
 patience

00:20:07.159 --> 00:20:07.399
 and

00:20:07.399 --> 00:20:07.879
 compassion

00:20:07.879 --> 00:20:10.339
 draws his

00:20:10.339 --> 00:20:11.000
 sword

00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:13.480
 because he

00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:14.240
 thinks this

00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:14.660
 is it

00:20:14.660 --> 00:20:16.339
 this is the

00:20:16.339 --> 00:20:17.160
 moment we've

00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:17.680
 been waiting

00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:18.059
 for

00:20:18.059 --> 00:20:19.799
 where finally

00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:20.440
 the son of

00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:21.059
 man will

00:20:21.059 --> 00:20:21.880
 stand up

00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:22.619
 and defeat

00:20:22.619 --> 00:20:24.059
 the occupying

00:20:24.059 --> 00:20:24.960
 Roman forces

00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:27.160
 and he

00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:28.019
 swipes the

00:20:28.019 --> 00:20:28.539
 ear off

00:20:28.539 --> 00:20:29.400
 one of the

00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:31.240
 guys who

00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:31.980
 comes to

00:20:31.980 --> 00:20:32.839
 arrest Jesus

00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:34.160
 and Jesus

00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:34.720
 says put your

00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:35.220
 sword away

00:20:35.220 --> 00:20:35.539
 Peter

00:20:35.539 --> 00:20:39.140
 and Jesus

00:20:39.140 --> 00:20:40.099
 goes with his

00:20:40.099 --> 00:20:40.420
 enemies

00:20:40.420 --> 00:20:41.240
 he allows

00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:42.259
 them to

00:20:42.259 --> 00:20:43.320
 bound him

00:20:43.320 --> 00:20:44.539
 and ultimately

00:20:44.539 --> 00:20:45.620
 to bind him

00:20:45.620 --> 00:20:47.000
 with nails

00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:47.500
 onto a

00:20:47.500 --> 00:20:48.039
 cross to

00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:48.420
 die

00:20:48.420 --> 00:20:50.240
 and he

00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:50.660
 utters

00:20:50.660 --> 00:20:51.380
 incredible

00:20:51.380 --> 00:20:52.039
 words from

00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:52.560
 the cross

00:20:52.560 --> 00:20:53.660
 father

00:20:53.660 --> 00:20:54.960
 forgive them

00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:56.560
 for they do

00:20:56.560 --> 00:20:57.100
 not know

00:20:57.100 --> 00:20:57.500
 what they

00:20:57.500 --> 00:20:57.980
 are doing

00:20:57.980 --> 00:21:00.480
 he forgives

00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:01.100
 his enemies

00:21:01.100 --> 00:21:03.220
 and so what

00:21:03.220 --> 00:21:03.600
 we have on

00:21:03.600 --> 00:21:04.340
 the cross

00:21:04.340 --> 00:21:06.380
 is Jesus

00:21:06.380 --> 00:21:06.980
 Christ

00:21:06.980 --> 00:21:08.240
 the son of

00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:08.580
 man

00:21:08.580 --> 00:21:09.640
 the son of

00:21:09.640 --> 00:21:10.019
 God

00:21:10.019 --> 00:21:11.339
 loving his

00:21:11.339 --> 00:21:11.920
 enemies

00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:13.299
 forgiving his

00:21:13.299 --> 00:21:13.779
 enemies

00:21:13.779 --> 00:21:15.039
 dying for

00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:15.859
 his enemies

00:21:15.859 --> 00:21:18.039
 and his

00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:18.680
 death

00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:19.779
 is the

00:21:19.779 --> 00:21:20.440
 ultimate

00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:21.740
 judgment

00:21:21.740 --> 00:21:22.839
 of evil

00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:24.000
 and injustice

00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:27.740
 this is

00:22:52.940 --> 00:22:53.340
 God

00:23:01.980 --> 00:23:02.300
 as he

00:23:02.300 --> 00:23:03.020
 is concerned

 one person

00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:12.660
 with another

00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:15.980
 even

00:23:15.980 --> 00:23:17.460

 groups of

00:23:18.980 --> 00:23:19.680
 and races

00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:20.759
 against this

00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:21.019
 group

00:23:21.019 --> 00:23:21.379
 and against

00:23:21.379 --> 00:23:21.980
 that group

00:23:21.980 --> 00:23:22.740
 but most

00:23:22.740 --> 00:23:23.159
 of all

00:23:23.159 --> 00:23:23.460
 Jesus

00:23:23.460 --> 00:23:23.919
 came

00:23:23.919 --> 00:23:24.700
 to defeat

00:23:24.700 --> 00:23:25.399
 the enmity

00:23:25.399 --> 00:23:26.180
 that exists

00:23:26.180 --> 00:23:26.579
 between

00:23:26.579 --> 00:23:27.099
 humanity

00:23:27.099 --> 00:23:27.859
 and its

00:23:27.859 --> 00:23:28.359
 creator

00:23:28.359 --> 00:23:31.359
 the enmity

00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:31.879
 exists

00:23:31.879 --> 00:23:32.399
 because

00:23:32.399 --> 00:23:33.079
 in our

00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:33.859
 proud state

00:23:33.859 --> 00:23:34.299
 we have

00:23:34.299 --> 00:23:34.740
 rejected

00:23:34.740 --> 00:23:35.220
 God

00:23:35.220 --> 00:23:36.919
 and deep

00:23:36.919 --> 00:23:37.200
 in our

00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:37.559
 hearts

00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:37.940
 we are

00:23:37.940 --> 00:23:38.539
 at war

00:23:38.539 --> 00:23:39.220
 with God

00:23:39.220 --> 00:23:42.980
 you see

00:23:42.980 --> 00:23:43.559
 if Jesus

00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:44.180
 had picked

00:23:44.180 --> 00:23:44.680
 up the

00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:44.980
 sword

00:23:44.980 --> 00:23:45.360
 in the

00:23:50.839 --> 00:23:51.079
 Jewish

00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:51.440
 people

00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:51.759
 in the

 first

00:23:51.980 --> 00:23:52.480
 century

00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:55.360
 he would

00:23:55.360 --> 00:23:55.759
 have given

00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:56.460
 his people

00:23:56.460 --> 00:23:56.980
 in that

00:23:56.980 --> 00:23:57.420
 moment

00:23:57.420 --> 00:23:57.940
 temporary

00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:02.720
 but when

00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:03.059
 he died

00:24:03.059 --> 00:24:03.319
 on the

00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:03.559
 cross

00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:03.940
 for our

00:24:03.940 --> 00:24:04.299
 sin

00:24:04.299 --> 00:24:05.319
 he was

00:24:12.740 --> 00:24:13.200
 death

00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:13.780

 the anger

00:24:23.180 --> 00:24:23.780
 of God

00:24:23.780 --> 00:24:25.640
 from us

00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:26.200
 and allowed

00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:26.480
 it to

00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:26.840
 descend

00:24:26.840 --> 00:24:27.360
 on him

00:24:27.360 --> 00:24:30.600
 the cross

00:24:30.600 --> 00:24:31.259
 of Jesus

00:24:31.259 --> 00:24:32.060
 is the

00:24:32.060 --> 00:24:32.560
 ultimate

00:24:32.560 --> 00:24:33.120
 warfare

00:24:33.120 --> 00:24:33.759
 against

00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:34.220
 God's

00:24:34.220 --> 00:24:34.580
 enemy

00:24:34.579 --> 00:24:36.980
 this is

00:24:36.980 --> 00:24:37.379
 so

00:24:37.379 --> 00:24:37.919
 important

00:24:37.919 --> 00:24:38.259
 for us

00:24:38.259 --> 00:24:38.740
 to grasp

00:24:38.740 --> 00:24:41.339
 because

00:24:41.339 --> 00:24:43.299
 as a

00:24:43.299 --> 00:24:43.960
 general rule

00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:44.639
 if someone

00:24:44.639 --> 00:24:45.419
 hurts our

00:24:45.419 --> 00:24:46.179
 reputation

00:24:46.179 --> 00:24:48.000
 we genuinely

00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:48.779
 conclude

00:24:48.779 --> 00:24:50.639
 that we

00:24:50.639 --> 00:24:51.159
 have an

00:24:51.159 --> 00:24:51.619
 absolute

00:24:51.619 --> 00:24:52.359
 perfect

00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:52.919
 right

00:24:52.919 --> 00:24:53.960
 to tell

00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:54.659
 everyone

00:24:54.659 --> 00:24:55.619
 about what

00:24:55.619 --> 00:24:56.279
 has happened

00:24:56.279 --> 00:24:57.879
 and therefore

00:24:57.879 --> 00:24:58.779
 in the hope

00:24:58.779 --> 00:24:59.319
 that we will

00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:00.199
 ruin their

00:25:00.199 --> 00:25:00.899
 reputation

00:25:00.900 --> 00:25:03.180
 the

00:25:03.180 --> 00:25:03.580
 natural

00:25:03.580 --> 00:25:04.120
 default

00:25:04.120 --> 00:25:04.720
 position

00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:05.660
 of every

00:25:05.660 --> 00:25:06.100
 human

00:25:06.100 --> 00:25:06.700
 heart

00:25:06.700 --> 00:25:07.620
 is to

00:25:07.620 --> 00:25:08.340
 respond

00:25:08.340 --> 00:25:09.680
 to evil

00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:10.220
 force

00:25:10.220 --> 00:25:11.040
 with hurtful

00:25:11.040 --> 00:25:11.519
 force

00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:12.780
 we fight

00:25:12.780 --> 00:25:13.280
 fire

00:25:13.280 --> 00:25:14.240
 with fire

00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:15.560
 in other

00:25:15.560 --> 00:25:15.920
 words

00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:16.600
 to defeat

00:25:16.600 --> 00:25:17.360
 our enemy

00:25:17.360 --> 00:25:18.340
 we must

00:25:18.340 --> 00:25:18.820
 whack

00:25:18.820 --> 00:25:19.680
 our enemy

00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:20.880
 and if

00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:21.580
 we whack

00:25:21.580 --> 00:25:22.320
 our enemy

00:25:22.320 --> 00:25:23.320
 hard enough

00:25:23.320 --> 00:25:24.500
 then we

00:25:24.500 --> 00:25:25.019
 will get

00:25:25.019 --> 00:25:25.660
 rest

00:25:25.660 --> 00:25:27.640
 don't we

00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:28.980
 that's the

00:25:28.980 --> 00:25:29.420
 thinking

00:25:29.420 --> 00:25:30.400
 if we

00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:30.700
 whack

00:25:30.700 --> 00:25:30.900
 them

00:25:30.900 --> 00:25:31.160
 hard

00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:31.440
 enough

00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:31.860
 we will

00:25:31.860 --> 00:25:32.099
 get

00:25:32.099 --> 00:25:32.599
 rest

00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:34.700
 and yet

00:25:34.700 --> 00:25:35.480
 the reality

00:25:35.480 --> 00:25:36.420
 is we

00:25:36.420 --> 00:25:37.000
 don't

00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:38.500
 all we

00:25:38.500 --> 00:25:39.240
 have done

00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:39.839
 is we

00:25:39.839 --> 00:25:40.620
 have made

00:25:40.620 --> 00:25:41.440
 our enemy

00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:42.299
 worse

00:25:42.299 --> 00:25:46.559
 the enmity

00:25:46.559 --> 00:25:47.599
 in other

00:25:47.599 --> 00:25:47.980
 words the

00:25:47.980 --> 00:25:48.599
 relational

00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:49.559
 hostility

00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:50.259
 is still

00:25:50.259 --> 00:25:50.740
 there

00:25:50.740 --> 00:25:52.720
 you

00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:53.140
 don't

00:25:53.140 --> 00:25:53.559
 have an

00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:54.120
 enemy

00:25:54.120 --> 00:25:55.740
 defeat

00:25:55.740 --> 00:25:56.019
 your

00:25:56.019 --> 00:25:56.359
 enemy

00:25:56.359 --> 00:25:57.359
 decisively

00:25:57.359 --> 00:25:58.579
 and they

00:25:58.579 --> 00:25:59.140
 come back

00:25:59.140 --> 00:25:59.440
 at you

00:25:59.440 --> 00:25:59.759
 and go

00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:00.240
 oh I

00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:00.400
 was

00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:00.839
 terribly

00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:01.279
 wrong

00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:02.880
 I got

00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:03.059
 that

00:26:03.059 --> 00:26:03.519
 entirely

00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:04.039
 you were

00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:04.519
 always

00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:04.920
 you were

00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:05.279
 totally

00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:05.720
 right

00:26:05.720 --> 00:26:06.440
 can we

00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:06.900
 now be

00:26:06.900 --> 00:26:07.140
 best

00:26:07.140 --> 00:26:07.559
 friends

00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:11.000
 tell me

00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:11.460
 when that's

00:26:11.460 --> 00:26:11.859
 ever

00:26:11.859 --> 00:26:12.259
 happened

00:26:12.259 --> 00:26:12.740
 in race

00:26:12.740 --> 00:26:13.579
 relationships

00:26:13.579 --> 00:26:17.919
 any

00:26:17.919 --> 00:26:18.519
 victory

00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:19.019
 in a

00:26:19.019 --> 00:26:19.299
 battle

00:26:19.299 --> 00:26:19.779
 where we

00:26:19.779 --> 00:26:20.099
 fight

00:26:20.099 --> 00:26:20.439
 fire

00:26:20.439 --> 00:26:20.639
 with

00:26:20.639 --> 00:26:21.039
 fire

00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:21.379
 is

00:26:21.379 --> 00:26:21.899
 only

00:26:21.899 --> 00:26:22.460
 temporary

00:26:22.460 --> 00:26:24.220
 when we

00:26:24.220 --> 00:26:24.480
 fight

00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:24.819
 evil

00:26:24.819 --> 00:26:25.019
 with

00:26:25.019 --> 00:26:25.619
 evil

00:26:25.619 --> 00:26:26.179
 we

00:26:26.179 --> 00:26:27.159
 don't

00:26:27.159 --> 00:26:27.699
 beat

00:26:27.699 --> 00:26:28.500
 evil

00:26:28.500 --> 00:26:29.359
 evil

00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:30.279
 wins

00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:31.980
 it

00:26:31.980 --> 00:26:32.359
 wins

00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:32.759
 every

00:26:32.759 --> 00:26:33.339
 time

00:26:33.339 --> 00:26:36.359
 and the

00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:37.119
 only way

00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:37.659
 to defeat

00:26:37.659 --> 00:26:38.139
 evil

00:26:38.139 --> 00:26:39.159
 is with

00:26:39.159 --> 00:26:39.699
 good

00:26:39.700 --> 00:26:40.860
 it's the

00:26:40.860 --> 00:26:41.559
 only way

00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:43.120
 and this

00:26:43.120 --> 00:26:43.700
 is what

00:26:43.700 --> 00:26:44.120
 Jesus

00:26:44.120 --> 00:26:44.600
 achieved

00:26:44.600 --> 00:26:45.059
 for us

00:26:45.059 --> 00:26:45.480
 on the

00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:45.880
 cross

00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:46.779
 the

00:26:46.779 --> 00:26:47.620
 perfectly

00:26:47.620 --> 00:26:48.400
 righteous

00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:48.840
 one

00:26:48.840 --> 00:26:49.519
 took on

00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:50.019
 all of

00:26:50.019 --> 00:26:50.200
 our

00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:50.539
 evil

00:26:50.539 --> 00:26:51.019
 all of

00:26:51.019 --> 00:26:51.200
 our

00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:51.600
 sin

00:26:51.600 --> 00:26:52.519
 all of

00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:52.779
 our

00:26:52.779 --> 00:26:53.960
 unrighteousness

00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:54.700
 and allowed

00:26:54.700 --> 00:26:55.519
 God

00:26:55.519 --> 00:26:56.720
 his father

00:26:56.720 --> 00:26:57.920
 to whack

00:26:57.920 --> 00:26:58.660
 him

00:26:58.660 --> 00:26:59.539
 for it

00:26:59.539 --> 00:27:00.080
 instead

00:27:00.080 --> 00:27:05.380
 his grace

00:27:05.380 --> 00:27:06.039
 is so

00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:06.700
 powerful

00:27:06.700 --> 00:27:07.720
 it's because

00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:08.880
 his grace

00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:10.060
 for us

00:27:10.060 --> 00:27:11.940
 destroys

00:27:11.940 --> 00:27:12.240
 the

00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:12.780
 enmity

00:27:12.780 --> 00:27:13.980
 there is

00:27:13.980 --> 00:27:14.440
 nothing

00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:14.940
 more

00:27:14.940 --> 00:27:15.380
 formidable

00:27:15.380 --> 00:27:16.640
 nothing

00:27:16.640 --> 00:27:17.000
 more

00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:17.800
 violent

00:27:17.800 --> 00:27:19.180
 if I

00:27:19.180 --> 00:27:19.560
 can say

00:27:19.560 --> 00:27:20.000
 that in

00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:20.340
 the most

00:27:20.340 --> 00:27:20.800
 positive

00:27:20.800 --> 00:27:21.340
 terms

00:27:21.340 --> 00:27:22.280
 there is

00:27:22.280 --> 00:27:22.700
 nothing

00:27:22.700 --> 00:27:23.260
 more

00:27:23.260 --> 00:27:23.820
 violent

00:27:23.820 --> 00:27:24.240
 than

00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:24.960
 grace

00:27:24.960 --> 00:27:27.800
 because

00:27:27.800 --> 00:27:28.000
 it

00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:28.680
 ultimately

00:27:28.680 --> 00:27:29.560
 defeats

00:27:29.560 --> 00:27:30.080
 evil

00:27:30.080 --> 00:27:31.860
 it

00:27:31.860 --> 00:27:32.440
 defeats

00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:33.060
 enmity

00:27:33.060 --> 00:27:34.520
 when you

00:27:34.520 --> 00:27:35.400
 give someone

00:27:35.400 --> 00:27:36.020
 grace

00:27:36.020 --> 00:27:36.500
 who does

00:27:36.500 --> 00:27:37.140
 not deserve

00:27:37.140 --> 00:27:37.300
 it

00:27:37.300 --> 00:27:38.000
 when you

00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:38.540
 forgive

00:27:38.540 --> 00:27:38.860
 them

00:27:38.859 --> 00:27:39.500
 when you

00:27:39.500 --> 00:27:40.139
 give them

00:27:40.139 --> 00:27:40.659
 the

00:27:40.659 --> 00:27:41.679
 prospect

00:27:41.679 --> 00:27:43.119
 when you

00:27:43.119 --> 00:27:43.719
 give someone

00:27:43.719 --> 00:27:44.259
 grace

00:27:44.259 --> 00:27:44.579
 when you

00:27:44.579 --> 00:27:44.979
 give them

00:27:44.979 --> 00:27:45.359
 mercy

00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:45.719
 when you

00:27:45.719 --> 00:27:46.079
 give them

00:27:46.079 --> 00:27:46.579
 forgiveness

00:27:46.579 --> 00:27:47.699
 you actually

00:27:47.699 --> 00:27:48.359
 turn an

00:27:48.359 --> 00:27:48.719
 enemy

00:27:48.719 --> 00:27:49.479
 and you

00:27:49.479 --> 00:27:50.000
 give them

00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:50.699
 the prospect

00:27:50.699 --> 00:27:51.279
 of becoming

00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:51.839
 a friend

00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:55.879
 and

00:27:55.879 --> 00:27:56.519
 friendship

00:27:56.519 --> 00:27:57.439
 is in fact

00:27:57.439 --> 00:27:58.159
 the only

00:27:58.159 --> 00:27:58.819
 way to

00:27:58.819 --> 00:27:59.359
 really

00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:00.079
 deal with

00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:00.539
 an enemy

00:28:00.539 --> 00:28:04.519
 it's the

00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:04.979
 only way

00:28:04.979 --> 00:28:05.539
 to destroy

00:28:05.539 --> 00:28:07.039
 an enemy

00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:09.680
 is to

00:28:09.680 --> 00:28:10.480
 make them

00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:10.899
 a friend

00:28:10.899 --> 00:28:12.920
 and that's

00:28:12.920 --> 00:28:13.359
 what Jesus

00:28:13.359 --> 00:28:13.859
 did for us

00:28:13.859 --> 00:28:14.119
 on the

00:28:14.119 --> 00:28:14.460
 cross

00:28:14.460 --> 00:28:15.920
 he was

00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:16.599
 changing us

00:28:16.599 --> 00:28:17.079
 from being

00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:17.519
 God's

00:28:17.519 --> 00:28:18.039
 enemies

00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:18.740
 deserving

00:28:18.740 --> 00:28:19.440
 of his

00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:19.940
 eternal

00:28:19.940 --> 00:28:20.539
 punishment

00:28:20.539 --> 00:28:21.859
 into his

00:28:21.859 --> 00:28:22.339
 friends

00:28:22.339 --> 00:28:22.879
 deserving

00:28:22.879 --> 00:28:23.720
 of his

00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:24.180
 eternal

00:28:24.180 --> 00:28:24.619
 love

00:28:24.619 --> 00:28:26.799
 instead of

00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:27.079
 whacking

00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:27.519
 us

00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:28.819
 God

00:28:28.819 --> 00:28:29.180
 dealt

00:28:29.180 --> 00:28:29.440
 with

00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:29.680
 his

00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:30.240
 righteous

00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:30.859
 anger

00:28:30.859 --> 00:28:31.539
 at our

00:28:31.539 --> 00:28:32.139
 evil

00:28:32.139 --> 00:28:32.980
 by

00:28:32.980 --> 00:28:33.400
 whacking

00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:33.960
 himself

00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:35.519
 so that

00:28:35.519 --> 00:28:35.940
 we might

00:28:35.940 --> 00:28:36.400
 not just

00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:36.859
 be his

00:28:36.859 --> 00:28:37.460
 friends

00:28:37.460 --> 00:28:38.519
 but that

00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:38.960
 we might

00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:39.680
 be co-heirs

00:28:39.680 --> 00:28:40.420
 with Jesus

00:28:40.420 --> 00:28:41.599
 his much

00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:42.139
 loved

00:28:42.139 --> 00:28:42.619
 children

00:28:42.619 --> 00:28:45.039
 and the

00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:45.660
 minute we

00:28:45.660 --> 00:28:46.539
 grasp hold

00:28:46.539 --> 00:28:46.980
 of that

00:28:46.980 --> 00:28:48.460
 that that

00:28:48.460 --> 00:28:49.139
 message which

00:28:49.139 --> 00:28:49.480
 is the

00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:50.099
 center of

00:28:50.099 --> 00:28:50.740
 Christianity

00:28:50.740 --> 00:28:52.000
 take hold

00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:52.420
 of that

00:28:52.420 --> 00:28:53.440
 it actually

00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:54.599
 changes us

00:28:54.599 --> 00:28:55.919
 from being

00:28:55.919 --> 00:28:56.599
 an enemy

00:28:56.599 --> 00:28:58.579
 to becoming

00:28:58.579 --> 00:28:59.159
 a friend

00:28:59.159 --> 00:29:00.879
 of Jesus

00:29:00.879 --> 00:29:02.059
 and of

00:29:02.059 --> 00:29:02.319
 God

00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:05.500
 and what

00:29:05.500 --> 00:29:06.079
 that does

00:29:06.079 --> 00:29:06.480
 therefore

00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:07.059
 is it

00:29:07.059 --> 00:29:07.599
 sends us

00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:08.359
 out into

00:29:08.359 --> 00:29:09.179
 this world

00:29:09.179 --> 00:29:10.259
 at rest

00:29:10.259 --> 00:29:11.000
 from enemies

00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:13.019
 if we

00:29:13.019 --> 00:29:13.719
 understand the

00:29:13.719 --> 00:29:14.279
 good news

00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:14.799
 of what Jesus

00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:15.139
 has done

00:29:15.139 --> 00:29:15.559
 for us

00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:16.219
 we actually

00:29:16.219 --> 00:29:16.779
 get rest

00:29:16.779 --> 00:29:17.259
 from all

00:29:17.259 --> 00:29:17.539
 of our

00:29:17.539 --> 00:29:17.899
 enemies

00:29:17.899 --> 00:29:18.439
 now

00:29:18.439 --> 00:29:22.719
 so let

00:29:22.719 --> 00:29:23.059
 me show

00:29:23.059 --> 00:29:23.299
 you how

00:29:23.299 --> 00:29:23.819
 this works

00:29:23.819 --> 00:29:24.519
 how do we

00:29:24.519 --> 00:29:25.099
 rest in

00:29:25.099 --> 00:29:25.460
 the victory

00:29:25.460 --> 00:29:26.099
 of Jesus

00:29:26.099 --> 00:29:30.639
 do you

00:29:30.639 --> 00:29:31.299
 believe

00:29:31.299 --> 00:29:32.000
 let me ask

00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:32.180
 a couple

00:29:32.180 --> 00:29:32.359
 questions

00:29:32.359 --> 00:29:32.599
 do you

00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:32.799
 believe

00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:33.259
 that Jesus

00:29:33.259 --> 00:29:33.740
 Christ

00:29:33.740 --> 00:29:34.099
 had to

00:29:34.099 --> 00:29:34.379
 die

00:29:34.379 --> 00:29:35.059
 for you

00:29:35.059 --> 00:29:36.299
 because

00:29:36.299 --> 00:29:37.460
 for your

00:29:37.460 --> 00:29:37.980
 sin

00:29:37.980 --> 00:29:40.559
 because in

00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:40.940
 fact you

00:29:40.940 --> 00:29:41.500
 are that

00:29:41.500 --> 00:29:42.039
 evil

00:29:42.039 --> 00:29:43.980
 that you

00:29:43.980 --> 00:29:44.519
 are that

00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:45.119
 flawed

00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:48.779
 that you

00:29:48.779 --> 00:29:49.299
 are that

00:29:49.299 --> 00:29:49.779
 much an

00:29:49.779 --> 00:29:50.279
 enemy of

00:29:50.279 --> 00:29:50.839
 God's

00:29:50.839 --> 00:29:52.500
 you were

00:29:52.500 --> 00:29:53.160
 that bad

00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:55.000
 do you

00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:55.400
 secondly

00:29:55.400 --> 00:29:55.940
 believe

00:29:55.940 --> 00:29:56.460
 that you

00:29:56.460 --> 00:29:56.900
 are

00:29:56.900 --> 00:29:58.120
 that

00:29:58.120 --> 00:29:58.700
 sinful

00:29:58.700 --> 00:29:59.560
 that

00:29:59.560 --> 00:30:00.600
 nothing

00:30:00.600 --> 00:30:01.360
 less

00:30:01.360 --> 00:30:01.960
 than

00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:02.480
 God

00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:02.920
 himself

00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:03.160
 the

00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:03.360
 son

00:30:03.360 --> 00:30:03.480
 of

00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:03.640
 God

00:30:03.640 --> 00:30:03.940
 Jesus

00:30:03.940 --> 00:30:04.259
 Christ

00:30:04.259 --> 00:30:04.600
 coming

00:30:04.600 --> 00:30:05.100
 into

00:30:05.100 --> 00:30:05.400
 this

00:30:05.400 --> 00:30:05.940
 world

00:30:05.940 --> 00:30:07.060
 to die

00:30:07.060 --> 00:30:07.540
 in your

00:30:07.540 --> 00:30:08.180
 place

00:30:08.180 --> 00:30:08.779
 nothing

00:30:08.779 --> 00:30:09.259
 less than

00:30:09.259 --> 00:30:09.980
 that is

00:30:09.980 --> 00:30:10.480
 required

00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:11.259
 to rescue

00:30:11.259 --> 00:30:11.640
 you

00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:12.160
 and to

00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:12.420
 bring you

00:30:12.420 --> 00:30:12.779
 back to

00:30:12.779 --> 00:30:13.040
 God

00:30:13.039 --> 00:30:16.259
 if you

00:30:16.259 --> 00:30:16.680
 do

00:30:16.680 --> 00:30:19.180
 that

00:30:19.180 --> 00:30:19.859
 is

00:30:19.859 --> 00:30:20.859
 incredibly

00:30:20.859 --> 00:30:21.539
 humbling

00:30:21.539 --> 00:30:22.159
 to a

00:30:22.159 --> 00:30:22.440
 proud

00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:22.779
 heart

00:30:22.779 --> 00:30:25.639
 and what

00:30:25.639 --> 00:30:26.319
 it does

00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:27.680
 is it

00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:28.440
 vaccinates

00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:28.819
 you

00:30:28.819 --> 00:30:29.879
 against

00:30:29.879 --> 00:30:30.859
 what evil

00:30:30.859 --> 00:30:31.579
 does to

00:30:31.579 --> 00:30:32.359
 keep itself

00:30:32.359 --> 00:30:32.920
 going in

00:30:32.920 --> 00:30:33.399
 the world

00:30:33.399 --> 00:30:35.279
 when someone

00:30:35.279 --> 00:30:35.879
 wrongs us

00:30:35.879 --> 00:30:36.319
 the first

00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:36.940
 thing that

00:30:36.940 --> 00:30:37.700
 happens is

00:30:37.700 --> 00:30:38.180
 we get on

00:30:38.180 --> 00:30:38.700
 our high

00:30:38.700 --> 00:30:39.119
 horse

00:30:39.119 --> 00:30:40.420
 and religious

00:30:40.420 --> 00:30:41.000
 people are

00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:42.000
 very good

00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:42.480
 at this

00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:42.900
 as a

00:30:42.900 --> 00:30:43.180
 general

00:30:43.180 --> 00:30:43.539
 rule

00:30:43.539 --> 00:30:44.519
 we get

00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:44.819
 on our

00:30:44.819 --> 00:30:45.119
 high

00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:45.460
 horse

00:30:45.460 --> 00:30:45.839
 we get

00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:46.339
 angry

00:30:46.339 --> 00:30:46.960
 and so

00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:47.920
 self-righteous

00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:49.240
 I would

00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:49.759
 never do

00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:50.099
 that

00:30:50.099 --> 00:30:51.599
 can't believe

00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:51.980
 they did

00:30:51.980 --> 00:30:52.279
 that to

00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:52.400
 me

00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:52.720
 don't they

00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:53.099
 realise

00:30:53.099 --> 00:30:53.400
 who I

00:30:53.400 --> 00:30:53.700
 am

00:30:53.700 --> 00:30:55.440
 and that

00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:55.900
 is how

00:30:55.900 --> 00:30:56.339
 evil

00:30:56.339 --> 00:30:56.900
 just

00:30:56.900 --> 00:30:57.519
 keeps

00:30:57.519 --> 00:30:58.140
 going

00:30:58.140 --> 00:30:59.859
 and the

00:30:59.859 --> 00:31:00.299
 good news

00:31:00.299 --> 00:31:00.720
 of Jesus

00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:01.259
 dying on

00:31:01.259 --> 00:31:01.779
 the cross

00:31:01.779 --> 00:31:02.859
 tells me

00:31:02.859 --> 00:31:03.240
 that when

00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:03.779
 someone

00:31:03.779 --> 00:31:04.339
 wrongs

00:31:04.339 --> 00:31:04.680
 me

00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:06.000
 and it

00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:06.619
 impacts

00:31:06.619 --> 00:31:07.500
 me so

00:31:07.500 --> 00:31:08.380
 hard

00:31:08.380 --> 00:31:08.700
 in my

00:31:08.700 --> 00:31:09.240
 heart

00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:10.619
 my

00:31:10.619 --> 00:31:11.440
 instinct

00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:11.859
 going

00:31:11.859 --> 00:31:12.059
 to

00:31:12.059 --> 00:31:12.399
 Jesus

00:31:12.399 --> 00:31:12.679
 should

00:31:12.679 --> 00:31:13.059
 say

00:31:13.059 --> 00:31:14.339
 oh

00:31:14.339 --> 00:31:15.259
 I

00:31:15.259 --> 00:31:15.399
 am

00:31:15.399 --> 00:31:15.579
 no

00:31:15.579 --> 00:31:15.859
 better

00:31:15.859 --> 00:31:19.399
 I'm

00:31:19.399 --> 00:31:19.579
 a

00:31:19.579 --> 00:31:19.779
 sinner

00:31:19.779 --> 00:31:20.159
 that's

00:31:20.159 --> 00:31:20.339
 saved

00:31:20.339 --> 00:31:20.559
 by

00:31:20.559 --> 00:31:20.879
 sheer

00:31:20.879 --> 00:31:21.439
 grace

00:31:21.439 --> 00:31:23.099
 I'm

00:31:23.099 --> 00:31:23.259
 no

00:31:23.259 --> 00:31:23.519
 better

00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:25.919
 and if

00:31:25.919 --> 00:31:26.740
 that is

00:31:26.740 --> 00:31:27.019
 our

00:31:27.019 --> 00:31:27.419
 place

00:31:27.419 --> 00:31:27.659
 of

00:31:27.659 --> 00:31:28.439
 refuge

00:31:28.439 --> 00:31:29.199
 then

00:31:29.199 --> 00:31:29.699
 evil

00:31:29.699 --> 00:31:30.199
 doesn't

00:31:30.199 --> 00:31:30.639
 have to

00:31:30.639 --> 00:31:31.000
 get a

00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:31.439
 foothold

00:31:31.439 --> 00:31:31.799
 in that

00:31:31.799 --> 00:31:32.259
 moment

00:31:32.259 --> 00:31:34.059
 what I'm

00:31:34.059 --> 00:31:34.419
 saying

00:31:34.419 --> 00:31:34.979
 is that

00:31:34.979 --> 00:31:35.419
 if a

00:31:35.419 --> 00:31:35.799
 Christian

00:31:35.799 --> 00:31:36.359
 hates

00:31:36.359 --> 00:31:36.899
 someone

00:31:36.899 --> 00:31:37.919
 who is

00:31:37.919 --> 00:31:38.459
 attacking

00:31:38.459 --> 00:31:39.000
 them

00:31:39.000 --> 00:31:39.839
 then they

00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:40.099
 have

00:31:40.099 --> 00:31:40.599
 forgotten

00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:40.959
 that they

00:31:40.959 --> 00:31:41.399
 are a

00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:41.700
 sinner

00:31:41.700 --> 00:31:42.540
 saved

00:31:42.540 --> 00:31:42.820
 by

00:31:42.820 --> 00:31:43.240
 God's

00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:43.540
 grace

00:31:43.540 --> 00:31:43.740
 they

00:31:43.740 --> 00:31:43.920
 have

00:31:43.920 --> 00:31:44.320
 forgotten

00:31:44.320 --> 00:31:44.680
 that they

00:31:44.680 --> 00:31:45.019
 are an

00:31:45.019 --> 00:31:45.300
 enemy

00:31:45.300 --> 00:31:45.580
 of

00:31:45.580 --> 00:31:45.960
 God

00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:46.660
 saved

00:31:46.660 --> 00:31:47.160
 by the

00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:47.440
 grace

00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:47.680
 of the

00:31:47.680 --> 00:31:47.840
 Lord

00:31:47.840 --> 00:31:48.100
 Jesus

00:31:48.100 --> 00:31:48.680
 Christ

00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:50.400
 if a

00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:50.700
 Christian

00:31:50.700 --> 00:31:50.940
 hates

00:31:50.940 --> 00:31:51.500
 anyone

00:31:51.500 --> 00:31:51.920
 you've

00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:52.340
 forgotten

00:31:52.340 --> 00:31:52.660
 the

00:31:52.660 --> 00:31:53.140
 gospel

00:31:53.140 --> 00:31:56.420
 this is

00:31:56.420 --> 00:31:56.940
 so

00:31:56.940 --> 00:31:58.360
 crucial

00:31:58.360 --> 00:31:59.120
 for us

00:31:59.120 --> 00:32:00.320
 as we

00:32:00.320 --> 00:32:00.940
 grasp

00:32:00.940 --> 00:32:01.960
 to grasp

00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:02.200
 this

00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:02.680
 as we

00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:03.320
 look to

00:32:03.320 --> 00:32:03.500
 our

00:32:03.500 --> 00:32:03.960
 future

00:32:03.960 --> 00:32:05.220
 as a

00:32:05.220 --> 00:32:05.640
 church

00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:06.120
 doing

00:32:06.120 --> 00:32:07.060
 ministry

00:32:07.060 --> 00:32:07.820
 here at

00:32:07.820 --> 00:32:08.400
 Chatswood

00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:09.160
 and

00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:09.540
 beyond

00:32:09.540 --> 00:32:10.960
 we

00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:11.660
 exist

00:32:11.660 --> 00:32:12.080
 in a

00:32:12.080 --> 00:32:12.759
 society

00:32:12.759 --> 00:32:13.440
 that

00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:13.680
 has

00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:13.900
 a

00:32:13.900 --> 00:32:14.340
 growing

00:32:14.340 --> 00:32:15.460
 indifference

00:32:15.460 --> 00:32:16.980
 a

00:32:16.980 --> 00:32:18.540
 genuine

00:32:18.540 --> 00:32:19.740
 perplexity

00:32:19.740 --> 00:32:21.320
 and

00:32:21.320 --> 00:32:21.960
 even

00:32:21.960 --> 00:32:22.180
 at

00:32:22.180 --> 00:32:22.500
 some

00:32:22.500 --> 00:32:22.980
 places

00:32:22.980 --> 00:32:23.440
 a

00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:24.180
 very

00:32:24.180 --> 00:32:24.580
 deep

00:32:24.580 --> 00:32:25.420
 hostility

00:32:25.420 --> 00:32:26.860
 to

00:32:26.860 --> 00:32:27.280
 the

00:32:27.280 --> 00:32:27.600
 gospel

00:32:27.600 --> 00:32:27.860
 of the

00:32:27.860 --> 00:32:28.019
 Lord

00:32:28.019 --> 00:32:28.240
 Jesus

00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:28.580
 Christ

00:32:28.580 --> 00:32:28.820
 to

00:32:28.820 --> 00:32:29.000
 the

00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:29.280
 Christian

00:32:29.280 --> 00:32:29.640
 faith

00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:31.900
 there

00:32:31.900 --> 00:32:32.060
 are

00:32:32.060 --> 00:32:32.460
 those

00:32:32.460 --> 00:32:32.600
 who

00:32:32.600 --> 00:32:32.740
 are

00:32:32.740 --> 00:32:33.140
 ignorant

00:32:33.140 --> 00:32:33.400
 of

00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:33.580
 what

00:32:33.580 --> 00:32:33.700
 it

00:32:33.700 --> 00:32:33.860
 is

00:32:33.860 --> 00:32:33.980
 that

00:32:33.980 --> 00:32:34.120
 we

00:32:34.120 --> 00:32:34.560
 believe

00:32:34.560 --> 00:32:35.500
 there

00:32:35.500 --> 00:32:35.680
 are

00:32:35.680 --> 00:32:36.020
 those

00:32:36.020 --> 00:32:36.180
 who

00:32:36.180 --> 00:32:36.480
 frankly

00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:36.860
 don't

00:32:36.860 --> 00:32:37.180
 care

00:32:37.180 --> 00:32:37.400
 what

00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:37.540
 it

00:32:37.540 --> 00:32:37.720
 is

00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:37.840
 that

00:32:37.840 --> 00:32:37.980
 we

00:32:37.980 --> 00:32:38.520
 believe

00:32:38.520 --> 00:32:39.160
 and

00:32:39.160 --> 00:32:39.320
 there

00:32:39.320 --> 00:32:39.500
 are

00:32:39.500 --> 00:32:40.080
 those

00:32:40.080 --> 00:32:40.280
 who

00:32:40.280 --> 00:32:40.759
 believe

00:32:40.759 --> 00:32:41.160
 that

00:32:41.160 --> 00:32:41.380
 what

00:32:41.380 --> 00:32:41.680
 we

00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:42.120
 believe

00:32:42.120 --> 00:32:42.520
 is

00:32:42.520 --> 00:32:43.180
 fundamentally

00:32:43.180 --> 00:32:43.820
 dangerous

00:32:43.820 --> 00:32:44.040
 for

00:32:44.040 --> 00:32:44.580
 society

00:32:44.580 --> 00:32:45.200
 for

00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:45.380
 the

00:32:45.380 --> 00:32:45.700
 welfare

00:32:45.700 --> 00:32:45.940
 of
