00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.880
 Micah 6.

00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:04.940
 And just again,

00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:06.940
 that book for David and Marsh would be lovely

00:00:06.940 --> 00:00:09.080
! If we could get lots of people to sign it and to write messages

00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:11.339
! for them, if you're able to do that.

00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:13.099
 And then we're meeting for prayer on Wednesday.

00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:14.160
 Don't forget that.

00:00:14.859 --> 00:00:15.580
 Micah 6.

00:00:16.580 --> 00:00:18.640
 So school exams are coming up, aren't they?

00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:21.339
 Sophie and Marius

00:00:21.339 --> 00:00:23.120
 are doing GCSEs, aren't they? I'm sure they're delighted

00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:24.179
 to be reminded about that.

00:00:25.100 --> 00:00:27.500
 And when I was in school, I don't know if it's the same now,

00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:28.879
 when you were

00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:31.619
 preparing for exams, your teachers

00:00:31.619 --> 00:00:33.619
 would give you kind of exam coaching, wouldn't they?

00:00:33.700 --> 00:00:35.679
 They'd give you this advice and they'd

00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:37.460
 give you this strongly

00:00:37.460 --> 00:00:39.359
 over and over again, repeated words.

00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:41.519
 So they would say to me and the others

00:00:41.519 --> 00:00:43.600
 in my class, they'd say, don't panic, make sure

00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:45.560
 you take the time to read the questions carefully.

00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:46.500
 Did you get that advice?

00:00:47.879 --> 00:00:49.420
 Because time and time again,

00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:51.579
 people rush in and they

00:00:51.579 --> 00:00:52.960
 come out afterwards

00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:55.579
 and they confer with people only to find out that they've

00:00:55.579 --> 00:00:56.820
 given a perfect answer

00:00:56.820 --> 00:00:59.020
 to a question that wasn't on the paper.

00:01:00.259 --> 00:01:01.820
 Make sure you read the paper properly

00:01:01.820 --> 00:01:03.619
 because people often

00:01:03.619 --> 00:01:05.060
 give a good answer

00:01:05.060 --> 00:01:07.859
 to a question

00:01:07.859 --> 00:01:08.680
 that wasn't on the paper.

00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:11.019
 It's very sad when people do that, isn't it?

00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:12.099
 It's tragic, actually.

00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:12.920
 You feel gutted

00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:14.140
 if you've done that.

00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:16.519
 And yet, how often

00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:18.000
 many people do that

00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:19.260
 when it comes to God?

00:01:19.260 --> 00:01:21.859
 Because what does God

00:01:21.859 --> 00:01:22.600
 require of us?

00:01:24.340 --> 00:01:25.980
 What does God expect from you?

00:01:27.780 --> 00:01:28.700
 And what does God

00:01:28.700 --> 00:01:29.420
 want from you?

00:01:31.080 --> 00:01:32.340
 There are lots and lots of people

00:01:32.340 --> 00:01:33.219
 in churches, aren't there,

00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:34.480
 sitting like you are tonight

00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:36.660
 and they think

00:01:36.660 --> 00:01:38.200
 they know what God requires of them.

00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:40.620
 And without any reflection,

00:01:40.800 --> 00:01:42.719
 they busily go about their lives

00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:43.980
 and they think they know

00:01:43.980 --> 00:01:45.240
 what God requires of them

00:01:45.240 --> 00:01:46.860
 only to find out

00:01:46.860 --> 00:01:48.420
 too late on the day of judgment

00:01:48.420 --> 00:01:49.980
 that they've read the question wrongly.

00:01:51.939 --> 00:01:52.920
 And so look at verse 8.

00:01:52.980 --> 00:01:54.960
 It's a really famous verse, isn't it?

00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:58.240
 And I want to speak really

00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:00.079
 from the whole chapter

00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:01.540
 but kind of hone in on that verse.

00:02:01.620 --> 00:02:02.599
 Verse 8 is the text.

00:02:05.099 --> 00:02:07.280
 What does the Lord require of you?

00:02:07.320 --> 00:02:08.000
 That's the question.

00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:10.460
 He has told you,

00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:12.120
 O man, what is good.

00:02:12.379 --> 00:02:13.900
 What does the Lord require of you?

00:02:15.259 --> 00:02:16.060
 Let's do justice

00:02:16.060 --> 00:02:16.860
 and to love kindness

00:02:16.860 --> 00:02:18.460
 and to walk humbly with our God.

00:02:20.460 --> 00:02:22.020
 That's what the Lord requires of us.

00:02:23.600 --> 00:02:24.460
 But the question is,

00:02:24.540 --> 00:02:25.740
 how can we actually do that?

00:02:26.860 --> 00:02:28.960
 And in order for us to understand that,

00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:30.960
 we need to put this really famous verse

00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:32.000
 into its context.

00:02:33.380 --> 00:02:34.420
 If you look at the passage,

00:02:35.720 --> 00:02:36.940
 you'll notice that the passage

00:02:36.940 --> 00:02:38.140
 describes a courtroom.

00:02:39.600 --> 00:02:41.200
 Look at the opening verse,

00:02:41.460 --> 00:02:42.100
 what it says.

00:02:42.099 --> 00:02:42.879
 It says, doesn't it?

00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:44.900
 Hear what the Lord says.

00:02:45.579 --> 00:02:46.019
 Arise.

00:02:46.379 --> 00:02:47.680
 Court, arise.

00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:50.959
 Plead your case before the mountains

00:02:50.959 --> 00:02:53.379
 and let the hills hear your voice.

00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:54.719
 Hear you mountains,

00:02:54.959 --> 00:02:55.780
 the indictment of the Lord

00:02:55.780 --> 00:02:58.859
 and you enduring foundations of the earth.

00:02:59.659 --> 00:03:01.159
 For the Lord has got an indictment.

00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:02.459
 The Lord has got a case against Israel.

00:03:03.740 --> 00:03:04.419
 Against his people.

00:03:04.539 --> 00:03:06.099
 And he will contend with Israel.

00:03:06.099 --> 00:03:09.639
 Everyone is entitled to their day in court.

00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:10.560
 So we say, don't we?

00:03:11.259 --> 00:03:12.560
 And this is God's day in court.

00:03:13.979 --> 00:03:15.699
 And God has got a charge against his people

00:03:15.699 --> 00:03:17.459
 and his people, Israel, are in the dock.

00:03:18.979 --> 00:03:20.079
 God is the plaintiff

00:03:20.079 --> 00:03:21.479
 and the mountains

00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:22.959
 and the ancient hills,

00:03:23.699 --> 00:03:24.780
 they're in the witness box.

00:03:26.060 --> 00:03:27.120
 That's the scene

00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.099
 that's painted here in Micah chapter 6.

00:03:29.099 --> 00:03:31.979
 And the charge is this

00:03:31.979 --> 00:03:32.900
 to the people of Israel.

00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:34.299
 You have not given the Lord

00:03:34.299 --> 00:03:35.319
 what he requires of them.

00:03:36.659 --> 00:03:37.659
 That's the charge against them.

00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:38.359
 That's the big issue.

00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:40.439
 What does the Lord require of us?

00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:43.319
 Now Israel is their defense,

00:03:43.419 --> 00:03:43.759
 you notice.

00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:45.319
 They bring into court

00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:47.060
 the whole sacrificial system

00:03:47.060 --> 00:03:47.560
 of the Old Testament.

00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:48.680
 Look at verses 6 and 7.

00:03:49.060 --> 00:03:50.120
 Here is Israel

00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:51.759
 defending themselves

00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:52.859
 against this charge.

00:03:53.340 --> 00:03:55.120
 Well, with what shall I come before the Lord

00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:56.919
 and bow myself before God on high?

00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:57.979
 Shall I come before him

00:03:57.979 --> 00:03:58.759
 with burnt offerings?

00:03:58.759 --> 00:03:59.379
 Here they are.

00:04:01.259 --> 00:04:03.079
 With calves a year old?

00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:07.340
 Will the Lord be pleased

00:04:07.340 --> 00:04:08.699
 with thousands of rams?

00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:11.659
 With ten thousands of rivers of oil?

00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:12.639
 Isn't that enough?

00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:13.819
 Haven't we done enough for you, Lord?

00:04:15.939 --> 00:04:16.699
 What next?

00:04:17.159 --> 00:04:18.199
 How much more do you think

00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:19.060
 you can have?

00:04:19.180 --> 00:04:20.000
 How much more do you want?

00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:22.259
 Do you think you'll be expecting us, God,

00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:23.800
 to offer up our children next?

00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:24.579
 Is that what you want?

00:04:24.579 --> 00:04:26.459
 Shall I give my firstborn, verse 7,

00:04:27.420 --> 00:04:28.560
 for my transgressions?

00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.319
 The fruit of my body

00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:32.539
 for the sin of my soul?

00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:33.839
 Aren't you satisfied

00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:35.099
 with animal sacrifices?

00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:37.159
 Do I have to give my firstborn?

00:04:38.699 --> 00:04:40.300
 How much more, God,

00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:41.459
 do you require of me?

00:04:41.719 --> 00:04:43.039
 Aren't you asking too much?

00:04:44.459 --> 00:04:46.180
 What more does God require of us?

00:04:46.180 --> 00:04:50.100
 At St. Paul's Cathedral

00:04:50.100 --> 00:04:51.160
 in the center of town,

00:04:51.620 --> 00:04:53.420
 kind of one of the great buildings

00:04:53.420 --> 00:04:54.360
 of the world, isn't it?

00:04:54.379 --> 00:04:55.259
 One of the great church buildings.

00:04:55.379 --> 00:04:56.560
 St. Christopher Wren was the architect.

00:04:57.500 --> 00:04:58.660
 And I remember hearing about a man

00:04:58.660 --> 00:05:00.019
 whose job it was

00:05:00.019 --> 00:05:01.460
 to lead tours

00:05:01.460 --> 00:05:02.879
 of St. Paul's Cathedral.

00:05:04.420 --> 00:05:05.240
 If you go to visit,

00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:06.879
 I don't know whether you can get in

00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:07.699
 as a worshiper on Sunday.

00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:08.340
 I assume you can,

00:05:08.379 --> 00:05:09.180
 but if you're not a worshiper,

00:05:09.379 --> 00:05:10.399
 you've got to pay to get in.

00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:12.819
 And this guy

00:05:12.819 --> 00:05:14.739
 was a tourist guide.

00:05:15.779 --> 00:05:16.639
 And so if you want to go

00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:18.219
 round at St. Paul's,

00:05:18.259 --> 00:05:18.899
 someone like him

00:05:18.899 --> 00:05:19.639
 will show you around.

00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:23.079
 And this guy,

00:05:23.159 --> 00:05:23.959
 he got into conversation

00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:27.120
 with his tour group,

00:05:27.179 --> 00:05:27.879
 and he was asked,

00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:28.919
 do you enjoy your work?

00:05:30.719 --> 00:05:31.659
 And the man said,

00:05:31.779 --> 00:05:33.699
 yeah, there's only one drawback.

00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:34.000
 He said,

00:05:34.039 --> 00:05:35.859
 I can never get to a place of worship.

00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:38.319
 So busy on a Sunday,

00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:39.560
 I can never get to a place of worship.

00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:41.980
 Think about that for a moment,

00:05:42.100 --> 00:05:43.040
 the irony of that.

00:05:44.019 --> 00:05:45.780
 It's a man who spent his life

00:05:45.780 --> 00:05:48.819
 inside St. Paul's Cathedral

00:05:48.819 --> 00:05:50.180
 showing people around,

00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:51.899
 and yet he said,

00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:53.399
 I can never get to a place of worship.

00:05:56.459 --> 00:05:57.259
 That's my problem.

00:05:59.699 --> 00:06:00.379
 And I want to decide

00:06:00.379 --> 00:06:02.319
 if that's an application for us.

00:06:02.540 --> 00:06:03.860
 Do you ever get

00:06:03.860 --> 00:06:06.000
 to a place of worship?

00:06:08.340 --> 00:06:09.540
 You say you're in one,

00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:09.839
 now.

00:06:10.280 --> 00:06:11.000
 Well, not necessarily.

00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:13.780
 For all our Bible reading,

00:06:14.060 --> 00:06:15.120
 and for all our singing of hymns,

00:06:15.180 --> 00:06:15.819
 and for all our praying,

00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:16.819
 for all our fellowshipping,

00:06:16.980 --> 00:06:18.560
 for all our religious observances,

00:06:19.379 --> 00:06:20.939
 for all the Sundays

00:06:20.939 --> 00:06:22.079
 that we've spent in this place,

00:06:22.340 --> 00:06:23.100
 for all the sermons

00:06:23.100 --> 00:06:23.740
 that I've preached

00:06:23.740 --> 00:06:24.819
 and you've had to listen to,

00:06:24.939 --> 00:06:25.660
 do we ever get

00:06:25.660 --> 00:06:26.600
 to a place of worship?

00:06:29.740 --> 00:06:31.019
 Notice how God is described

00:06:31.019 --> 00:06:32.160
 here in verse 6.

00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:34.500
 With what?

00:06:34.500 --> 00:06:37.540
 Shall I come before the Lord?

00:06:39.380 --> 00:06:40.660
 It's the word Yahweh.

00:06:40.860 --> 00:06:42.380
 It's his covenant name.

00:06:44.380 --> 00:06:45.860
 God is revealing himself.

00:06:47.440 --> 00:06:49.379
 He is giving Israel a handle

00:06:49.379 --> 00:06:50.200
 on who he is.

00:06:50.320 --> 00:06:51.840
 He's giving a name to himself.

00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:55.859
 You can call me this,

00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:56.419
 he says.

00:06:57.619 --> 00:06:58.279
 Yahweh, the Lord,

00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:00.079
 how shall I come before this one,

00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:01.959
 the Lord who's revealed himself

00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:03.239
 to Moses at the burning bush?

00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:05.479
 This isn't one of the

00:07:05.479 --> 00:07:06.759
 pagan deities

00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:08.239
 that's out there in Canaan.

00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:09.600
 It isn't one of the

00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:10.699
 fertility gods

00:07:10.699 --> 00:07:12.060
 or the gods of war

00:07:12.060 --> 00:07:13.240
 or the gods of whatever

00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:14.180
 or wherever.

00:07:14.379 --> 00:07:15.079
 This is Yahweh.

00:07:15.180 --> 00:07:16.280
 Do you notice how he's described?

00:07:18.860 --> 00:07:20.639
 With what shall I come before the Lord

00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:23.100
 and bow myself before God on high?

00:07:23.180 --> 00:07:25.319
 It's not like the Roman pantheon.

00:07:25.400 --> 00:07:27.000
 This is not Zeus

00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:28.879
 or Jupiter

00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:29.819
 or Mars

00:07:29.819 --> 00:07:30.379
 or Venus.

00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:32.100
 It's not like the pagan deities.

00:07:34.280 --> 00:07:35.780
 The problem with pagan deities

00:07:35.780 --> 00:07:36.819
 or the Greek gods

00:07:36.819 --> 00:07:38.019
 is they were just really

00:07:38.019 --> 00:07:39.479
 souped up human beings,

00:07:39.579 --> 00:07:39.879
 weren't they,

00:07:39.939 --> 00:07:40.639
 behaving badly.

00:07:42.899 --> 00:07:43.779
 That's all they are.

00:07:46.339 --> 00:07:47.759
 And the problem with religion

00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:48.539
 is that you've got to get

00:07:48.539 --> 00:07:49.859
 on the right side of your god.

00:07:52.159 --> 00:07:52.959
 And so if you are

00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:53.939
 a pagan Canaanite

00:07:53.939 --> 00:07:54.560
 and you need to get

00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:55.799
 on the right side of your god,

00:07:56.019 --> 00:07:57.159
 your god who brings fertility,

00:07:57.779 --> 00:07:58.740
 well, if you fall out

00:07:58.740 --> 00:07:59.560
 with your god,

00:08:00.819 --> 00:08:01.859
 with him or with her,

00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:03.099
 then your crops won't grow.

00:08:04.699 --> 00:08:05.879
 And it's tit for tat.

00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:06.939
 That's what religion is.

00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:10.139
 But our god,

00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:11.199
 Yahweh,

00:08:12.919 --> 00:08:13.659
 the god of the Bible,

00:08:13.719 --> 00:08:14.279
 is above all that.

00:08:14.379 --> 00:08:15.539
 He is the exalted one.

00:08:17.899 --> 00:08:18.680
 The god of the Bible,

00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:19.419
 the god whom we worship,

00:08:19.479 --> 00:08:20.919
 is not some tin pot god

00:08:20.919 --> 00:08:21.719
 that you can manipulate

00:08:21.719 --> 00:08:23.740
 and that you can get blessings

00:08:23.740 --> 00:08:25.560
 from him.

00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:27.339
 No, he's the exalted one.

00:08:27.339 --> 00:08:30.519
 And so how can I appear

00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:32.000
 before the one who is exalted?

00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:32.639
 That's the question.

00:08:32.819 --> 00:08:34.759
 How do I get to a place of worship?

00:08:34.980 --> 00:08:35.819
 That's the question

00:08:35.819 --> 00:08:37.120
 in all my religious activity.

00:08:38.699 --> 00:08:40.079
 In all my religious observance,

00:08:40.179 --> 00:08:41.500
 that is a very important question

00:08:41.500 --> 00:08:42.679
 because unless we get

00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:45.299
 to a place of worship,

00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:48.000
 unless we get to that place

00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:49.120
 of brokenness

00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:50.799
 and bowing down

00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:52.679
 and prostrating ourselves

00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:53.339
 before him

00:08:53.340 --> 00:08:54.980
 and adoring him,

00:08:55.280 --> 00:08:55.720
 well, I can tell you

00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:56.500
 what happens in ministry.

00:08:57.500 --> 00:08:58.240
 What happens in ministry

00:08:58.240 --> 00:08:59.519
 is you burn out.

00:09:02.280 --> 00:09:03.740
 All the sermons I prepare,

00:09:03.860 --> 00:09:05.200
 all the sermons I preach,

00:09:05.620 --> 00:09:07.120
 if I never get to a place

00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:07.860
 of worship,

00:09:07.940 --> 00:09:08.320
 in the end,

00:09:08.340 --> 00:09:08.899
 it just becomes

00:09:08.899 --> 00:09:09.800
 intolerable toil.

00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:13.659
 Do you see the issue?

00:09:13.819 --> 00:09:15.120
 If saying my prayers,

00:09:15.219 --> 00:09:15.879
 singing the hymns,

00:09:15.959 --> 00:09:17.159
 going through the routine,

00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:20.539
 do I ever get to a place

00:09:20.539 --> 00:09:21.259
 of adoration?

00:09:24.259 --> 00:09:25.059
 And the question is,

00:09:25.099 --> 00:09:25.859
 what does God require?

00:09:26.019 --> 00:09:27.399
 And how do I get to the place

00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:28.199
 where I can bow

00:09:28.199 --> 00:09:29.539
 before the exalted God

00:09:29.539 --> 00:09:31.000
 and come before Yahweh

00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:32.659
 and pour out my heart

00:09:32.659 --> 00:09:33.259
 before him

00:09:33.259 --> 00:09:35.579
 and praise him

00:09:35.579 --> 00:09:36.779
 in an attitude of worship?

00:09:36.859 --> 00:09:37.479
 And the answer comes

00:09:37.479 --> 00:09:38.399
 in verses three to five.

00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:39.620
 Do you notice God's answer

00:09:39.620 --> 00:09:40.259
 to the question?

00:09:42.019 --> 00:09:43.159
 He's charging them

00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:44.279
 for all their religiosity,

00:09:44.899 --> 00:09:46.580
 but they're not actually

00:09:46.580 --> 00:09:47.019
 getting it.

00:09:48.179 --> 00:09:48.860
 They're not actually

00:09:48.860 --> 00:09:49.679
 coming before him

00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:50.519
 and worshiping him.

00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:51.980
 That's the charge.

00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:54.779
 And they've brought in

00:09:54.779 --> 00:09:55.679
 the sacrificial system

00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:56.480
 and all the things

00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:57.360
 they've offered before him

00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:57.799
 and all the things

00:09:57.799 --> 00:09:58.519
 they've done for him.

00:09:58.759 --> 00:09:59.620
 And this is his answer

00:09:59.620 --> 00:10:00.560
 in verses three to five.

00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:01.940
 It's the cry, isn't it?

00:10:05.659 --> 00:10:06.820
 Can you see how it begins?

00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:08.100
 Oh, oh.

00:10:08.899 --> 00:10:10.899
 It's a cry from the heart

00:10:10.899 --> 00:10:11.460
 of God.

00:10:13.379 --> 00:10:14.340
 Oh, my people.

00:10:14.500 --> 00:10:16.159
 And he's not only

00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:17.600
 pleading against his people,

00:10:17.700 --> 00:10:18.399
 he is doing that

00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:19.500
 in verses one to two

00:10:19.500 --> 00:10:22.659
 because he's got a charge

00:10:22.659 --> 00:10:23.340
 against them.

00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:24.600
 But he's not only

00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:25.659
 pleading against his people,

00:10:25.700 --> 00:10:26.420
 he's at the same time

00:10:26.420 --> 00:10:27.500
 pleading with his people.

00:10:27.740 --> 00:10:28.800
 So listen to what he says.

00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:29.159
 He says,

00:10:29.259 --> 00:10:30.779
 oh, my people, Israel,

00:10:30.860 --> 00:10:31.960
 what have I done to you?

00:10:32.740 --> 00:10:33.879
 How have I wearied you?

00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:34.580
 Answer me,

00:10:34.580 --> 00:10:35.759
 for I brought you up

00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:36.560
 from the land of Egypt.

00:10:36.680 --> 00:10:37.379
 I redeemed you

00:10:37.379 --> 00:10:38.280
 from the house of slavery.

00:10:38.400 --> 00:10:39.020
 I sent you,

00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:40.300
 before you,

00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:41.680
 Moses, Aaron, Miriam.

00:10:42.900 --> 00:10:43.920
 Oh, my people,

00:10:44.420 --> 00:10:45.639
 remember what Balak,

00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:46.160
 king of Moab,

00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:47.240
 devised and what Balab,

00:10:47.300 --> 00:10:47.920
 the son of Beor,

00:10:47.980 --> 00:10:48.460
 answered him.

00:10:48.660 --> 00:10:49.280
 And what happened

00:10:49.280 --> 00:10:50.860
 from Shittim to Gilgal

00:10:50.860 --> 00:10:51.820
 that you may know

00:10:51.820 --> 00:10:52.500
 the righteous act

00:10:52.500 --> 00:10:52.960
 of the Lord.

00:10:57.460 --> 00:10:58.220
 Verse five,

00:10:58.320 --> 00:10:58.960
 that journey,

00:10:59.080 --> 00:10:59.500
 what happened between

00:10:59.500 --> 00:11:00.600
 Shittim and Gilgal,

00:11:00.980 --> 00:11:02.120
 it's the journey

00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:03.180
 across the Jordan.

00:11:03.179 --> 00:11:03.899
 That's what it is.

00:11:05.419 --> 00:11:06.359
 There are two places

00:11:06.359 --> 00:11:07.199
 on either side.

00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:09.679
 And the geography,

00:11:09.899 --> 00:11:10.699
 it might be a little bit

00:11:10.699 --> 00:11:11.759
 foreign to us,

00:11:12.139 --> 00:11:12.919
 but it wasn't to them.

00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:13.679
 These people should know

00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:14.159
 their history.

00:11:15.819 --> 00:11:16.819
 And what God is doing here

00:11:16.819 --> 00:11:17.759
 is he's reminding

00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:18.500
 these people

00:11:18.500 --> 00:11:19.399
 of what he's done for them.

00:11:19.419 --> 00:11:20.059
 That's really important,

00:11:20.139 --> 00:11:20.439
 isn't it?

00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:28.959
 If you become,

00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:29.699
 I don't know,

00:11:29.699 --> 00:11:30.199
 like,

00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:33.820
 if you say,

00:11:33.920 --> 00:11:33.980
 right,

00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:34.980
 I'm going to become Welsh,

00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:35.520
 all right,

00:11:35.740 --> 00:11:37.020
 I'm going to become

00:11:37.020 --> 00:11:37.640
 a Welshman,

00:11:38.780 --> 00:11:39.860
 you can't just make

00:11:39.860 --> 00:11:39.980
 that,

00:11:40.060 --> 00:11:40.660
 there's certain things

00:11:40.660 --> 00:11:41.200
 you've got to know.

00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:43.000
 There's certain things

00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:43.820
 you've got to understand.

00:11:45.900 --> 00:11:46.680
 You've got to understand

00:11:46.680 --> 00:11:47.759
 the beauty of a place

00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:48.340
 like Swansea.

00:11:50.379 --> 00:11:51.820
 You've got to know

00:11:51.820 --> 00:11:52.580
 certain things

00:11:52.580 --> 00:11:53.120
 about our history.

00:11:53.220 --> 00:11:53.620
 You've got to know

00:11:53.620 --> 00:11:54.620
 about O'England Dool.

00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:56.540
 You've got to know

00:11:56.540 --> 00:11:57.780
 about these nationalists

00:11:57.780 --> 00:11:59.020
 burning English people's houses

00:11:59.019 --> 00:12:00.340
 down in the 1960s.

00:12:02.100 --> 00:12:02.879
 You've got to know

00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:04.500
 about the mining community.

00:12:04.699 --> 00:12:05.519
 You can't just say

00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:05.779
 your Welsh.

00:12:06.019 --> 00:12:06.960
 If you say your Welsh,

00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:07.360
 you've got to know

00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:07.840
 your history.

00:12:08.139 --> 00:12:08.519
 It's in wherever

00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:09.000
 you're from,

00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:09.419
 isn't it?

00:12:12.819 --> 00:12:13.939
 And that's what he's saying

00:12:13.939 --> 00:12:14.100
 here.

00:12:14.220 --> 00:12:14.840
 Don't you know

00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:15.379
 your history?

00:12:17.740 --> 00:12:18.220
 He's saying

00:12:18.220 --> 00:12:19.919
 you won't make

00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:20.980
 the right response

00:12:20.980 --> 00:12:21.759
 to God.

00:12:21.860 --> 00:12:22.360
 You won't make

00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:23.019
 the right response

00:12:23.019 --> 00:12:23.259
 to God.

00:12:23.319 --> 00:12:24.220
 You won't worship God

00:12:24.220 --> 00:12:25.419
 in an acceptable way.

00:12:25.779 --> 00:12:26.240
 You won't know

00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:27.600
 what God requires of you

00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:28.680
 until first you understand

00:12:28.680 --> 00:12:29.659
 what God has done for you.

00:12:32.700 --> 00:12:33.379
 And I think that's

00:12:33.379 --> 00:12:34.340
 a really key message

00:12:34.340 --> 00:12:34.700
 in the Bible.

00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:36.600
 You will not worship God

00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:37.720
 until you understand

00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:38.639
 what he's done for you.

00:12:40.500 --> 00:12:41.259
 And maybe the reason

00:12:41.259 --> 00:12:42.100
 actually why

00:12:42.100 --> 00:12:42.960
 you're not worshipping God

00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:43.759
 is because you haven't

00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:44.399
 understood what he's done

00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:44.680
 for you.

00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:47.539
 In fact,

00:12:47.579 --> 00:12:48.019
 that's the pattern

00:12:48.019 --> 00:12:48.620
 in the New Testament,

00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:48.939
 isn't it?

00:12:48.959 --> 00:12:49.620
 You see it in the

00:12:49.620 --> 00:12:50.459
 New Testament letters.

00:12:50.979 --> 00:12:51.339
 Broadly,

00:12:51.819 --> 00:12:52.500
 Paul's letters

00:12:52.500 --> 00:12:53.059
 in the New Testament

00:12:53.059 --> 00:12:53.699
 are always split

00:12:53.699 --> 00:12:54.239
 into two.

00:12:55.059 --> 00:12:55.899
 The first half

00:12:55.899 --> 00:12:56.459
 is indicative

00:12:56.459 --> 00:12:57.779
 what God has done

00:12:57.779 --> 00:12:58.599
 and the second half

00:12:58.599 --> 00:12:59.459
 is ordinarily

00:12:59.459 --> 00:13:00.379
 how we're to live

00:13:00.379 --> 00:13:00.759
 that out,

00:13:00.859 --> 00:13:01.259
 the imperative.

00:13:04.239 --> 00:13:04.939
 He tells us

00:13:04.939 --> 00:13:05.639
 what God has done

00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:06.419
 and then he tells us

00:13:06.419 --> 00:13:07.120
 what we are to do.

00:13:08.959 --> 00:13:09.639
 The indicative,

00:13:09.839 --> 00:13:10.439
 it points to

00:13:10.439 --> 00:13:11.839
 the great salvation

00:13:11.839 --> 00:13:12.939
 that God has accomplished.

00:13:12.940 --> 00:13:15.260
 And only then

00:13:15.260 --> 00:13:16.120
 there is the imperative

00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:16.820
 to live it out.

00:13:20.020 --> 00:13:20.300
 And so,

00:13:20.380 --> 00:13:21.260
 a number of years ago,

00:13:21.400 --> 00:13:22.100
 it seems to disappear,

00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:22.740
 there was this thing

00:13:22.740 --> 00:13:23.860
 called the Micah Challenge,

00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:24.760
 a guy called Jim Wallace,

00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:26.120
 you probably don't remember it.

00:13:27.420 --> 00:13:28.340
 But it was a big thing,

00:13:28.380 --> 00:13:28.620
 wasn't it?

00:13:28.660 --> 00:13:29.180
 So churches

00:13:29.180 --> 00:13:30.040
 and the big message

00:13:30.040 --> 00:13:30.500
 of Christianity

00:13:30.500 --> 00:13:30.840
 is what?

00:13:30.920 --> 00:13:31.340
 They would say

00:13:31.340 --> 00:13:33.340
 to act justly,

00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:34.120
 walk humbly

00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:35.500
 before our God.

00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:37.500
 Act justly,

00:13:38.300 --> 00:13:39.700
 love kindness,

00:13:39.940 --> 00:13:40.460
 walk humbly

00:13:40.460 --> 00:13:41.160
 before our God.

00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:43.259
 the problem

00:13:43.259 --> 00:13:43.959
 with all that

00:13:43.959 --> 00:13:45.719
 was that it didn't

00:13:45.719 --> 00:13:46.519
 point you

00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:47.819
 to what God

00:13:47.819 --> 00:13:48.100
 had done,

00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:49.100
 the facts of salvation.

00:13:50.939 --> 00:13:51.799
 It didn't give you

00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:52.439
 the indicative,

00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:53.240
 it didn't give you

00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:54.259
 the oh my people,

00:13:54.439 --> 00:13:55.279
 oh my people.

00:13:56.860 --> 00:13:57.199
 Remember,

00:13:57.299 --> 00:13:57.519
 he says,

00:13:57.559 --> 00:13:58.279
 remember what I've

00:13:58.279 --> 00:13:58.879
 done to you.

00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:02.360
 It's a bit,

00:14:02.659 --> 00:14:03.919
 I hesitate

00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:04.799
 to use this illustration,

00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:07.539
 but Monty Python,

00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:08.240
 I've got a sketch,

00:14:08.439 --> 00:14:09.679
 in the life of Brian,

00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:10.439
 which is not a film

00:14:10.439 --> 00:14:10.919
 I recommend,

00:14:11.099 --> 00:14:12.359
 but there's a sketch

00:14:12.359 --> 00:14:12.739
 in it,

00:14:13.019 --> 00:14:14.379
 where there's a really

00:14:14.379 --> 00:14:15.459
 brilliant sketch in it.

00:14:16.579 --> 00:14:17.939
 The Jewish authorities

00:14:17.939 --> 00:14:18.539
 are plotting

00:14:18.539 --> 00:14:19.579
 to overthrow the Romans.

00:14:19.779 --> 00:14:20.639
 You'll know the sketch

00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:21.319
 as I tell you about it.

00:14:22.579 --> 00:14:23.259
 And one of the leaders

00:14:23.259 --> 00:14:24.259
 stands up and says,

00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:26.199
 what have the Romans

00:14:26.199 --> 00:14:27.319
 ever done for us?

00:14:28.819 --> 00:14:29.599
 It's a very funny scene.

00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:30.259
 Somebody pipes up

00:14:30.259 --> 00:14:30.959
 from the back of the crowd,

00:14:31.079 --> 00:14:31.219
 well,

00:14:31.719 --> 00:14:32.579
 there's the aqueduct.

00:14:34.099 --> 00:14:34.859
 Another one puts up

00:14:34.859 --> 00:14:35.559
 his hand and says,

00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:37.699
 there's the roads.

00:14:37.700 --> 00:14:39.680
 Another one says,

00:14:40.259 --> 00:14:40.920
 there's sanitation.

00:14:41.620 --> 00:14:42.240
 And then the answers

00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:43.040
 start flooding in.

00:14:44.220 --> 00:14:44.700
 There's irrigation,

00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:45.420
 medicine,

00:14:45.660 --> 00:14:46.400
 public baths,

00:14:46.520 --> 00:14:47.000
 law and order,

00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:47.620
 education.

00:14:47.700 --> 00:14:48.000
 All right,

00:14:48.060 --> 00:14:48.420
 all right,

00:14:48.500 --> 00:14:49.000
 says the leader.

00:14:49.140 --> 00:14:50.200
 Apart from the aqueducts,

00:14:50.259 --> 00:14:50.620
 the roads,

00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:51.060
 the sanitation,

00:14:51.340 --> 00:14:51.560
 irrigation,

00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:52.100
 medicine,

00:14:52.500 --> 00:14:52.860
 education,

00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:53.520
 public baths,

00:14:53.560 --> 00:14:54.060
 law and order,

00:14:54.340 --> 00:14:54.860
 and education,

00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:56.020
 what have these people

00:14:56.020 --> 00:14:57.020
 ever done for us?

00:15:00.800 --> 00:15:01.759
 That's what they're doing

00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:03.140
 in Micah.

00:15:03.280 --> 00:15:03.680
 They're saying,

00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:04.520
 what has the Lord

00:15:04.520 --> 00:15:05.280
 ever done for us?

00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:07.740
 All the times I've

00:15:07.740 --> 00:15:08.259
 slaved for you,

00:15:08.319 --> 00:15:09.079
 all the sacrifices

00:15:09.079 --> 00:15:09.519
 I've offered.

00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:13.240
 The thousands of rams,

00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:14.799
 the rivers of oils

00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:15.579
 I've poured out,

00:15:15.740 --> 00:15:16.339
 worshipping you,

00:15:16.419 --> 00:15:17.519
 observing your religious

00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:18.019
 practices.

00:15:18.299 --> 00:15:19.100
 And what has he ever

00:15:19.100 --> 00:15:19.839
 done for us?

00:15:21.179 --> 00:15:21.799
 Oh, my people,

00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:22.399
 God says,

00:15:22.459 --> 00:15:23.019
 oh, my people.

00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:24.959
 Remember,

00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:25.899
 remember.

00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:29.019
 And he mentions

00:15:29.019 --> 00:15:29.679
 all these things.

00:15:31.339 --> 00:15:32.339
 It's the history of

00:15:32.339 --> 00:15:33.339
 God's dealing with Israel.

00:15:33.340 --> 00:15:34.019
 These people,

00:15:34.160 --> 00:15:34.759
 these places,

00:15:34.899 --> 00:15:35.879
 they're foreign to us,

00:15:35.940 --> 00:15:36.379
 but they wouldn't be

00:15:36.379 --> 00:15:37.000
 foreign to them.

00:15:38.860 --> 00:15:39.220
 He says,

00:15:39.340 --> 00:15:40.740
 remember how I brought

00:15:40.740 --> 00:15:41.639
 you out from the land

00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:42.160
 of Egypt.

00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:43.560
 I am the Lord your God

00:15:43.560 --> 00:15:45.800
 who redeemed you.

00:15:48.300 --> 00:15:49.180
 Who redeemed you

00:15:49.180 --> 00:15:50.080
 from the house of slavery.

00:15:50.259 --> 00:15:51.600
 Remember how I gave you

00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:53.340
 Moses and Aaron

00:15:53.340 --> 00:15:54.180
 and Miriam.

00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:56.720
 I led you through

00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:57.160
 the wilderness.

00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:00.139
 Do you remember

00:16:00.139 --> 00:16:01.060
 when the Moabites,

00:16:01.059 --> 00:16:02.159
 they wanted to curse you

00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:03.619
 and they hired

00:16:03.619 --> 00:16:04.759
 Balaam the prophet

00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:06.219
 to curse you?

00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:06.799
 And do you remember

00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:07.319
 what happened?

00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:08.979
 He couldn't curse you

00:16:08.979 --> 00:16:09.859
 because I kept

00:16:09.859 --> 00:16:11.299
 making him pronounce

00:16:11.299 --> 00:16:11.959
 blessings.

00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:15.139
 Do you remember

00:16:15.139 --> 00:16:16.039
 how I turned the tables

00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:16.379
 on him?

00:16:16.419 --> 00:16:16.719
 Do you remember

00:16:16.719 --> 00:16:17.419
 how I brought you

00:16:17.419 --> 00:16:18.479
 across the river Jordan

00:16:18.479 --> 00:16:19.419
 onto dry land?

00:16:21.419 --> 00:16:22.059
 And he's saying,

00:16:22.139 --> 00:16:22.859
 how can these people

00:16:22.859 --> 00:16:23.859
 who are Israelites

00:16:23.859 --> 00:16:25.959
 call themselves Israelites

00:16:25.959 --> 00:16:26.859
 if they've forgotten

00:16:26.859 --> 00:16:28.139
 about Moses and Miriam

00:16:28.139 --> 00:16:28.580
 and Aaron

00:16:28.580 --> 00:16:30.559
 and Balaam

00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:31.539
 and Balak

00:16:31.539 --> 00:16:33.679
 and the journey

00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:34.259
 to Gilgal?

00:16:35.019 --> 00:16:35.799
 How can they call

00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:36.620
 themselves Israelites

00:16:36.620 --> 00:16:37.439
 if they've forgotten

00:16:37.439 --> 00:16:38.120
 what God has done

00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:38.439
 for them?

00:16:38.460 --> 00:16:39.080
 And that's the point,

00:16:39.139 --> 00:16:39.419
 you see.

00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:42.059
 God is not a concept.

00:16:44.899 --> 00:16:45.879
 God is not an idea.

00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:47.059
 God is not a force.

00:16:52.259 --> 00:16:53.240
 God is a person.

00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:53.279
 God is a person.

00:16:57.399 --> 00:16:59.340
 When Pascal was converted,

00:16:59.440 --> 00:16:59.759
 I don't know if you

00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:00.139
 know the story

00:17:00.139 --> 00:17:01.220
 of Pascal's conversion.

00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:02.899
 He was a child protégé.

00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:04.680
 He was a mathematical genius.

00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:06.380
 He was in fact

00:17:06.380 --> 00:17:07.240
 the inventor

00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:08.059
 of the first computer.

00:17:08.180 --> 00:17:08.440
 He didn't know

00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:08.819
 it was a computer

00:17:08.819 --> 00:17:09.299
 at the time.

00:17:10.099 --> 00:17:10.660
 They wouldn't have

00:17:10.660 --> 00:17:11.720
 called it that day

00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:12.980
 but in the 17th century

00:17:12.980 --> 00:17:14.279
 it was a mechanical calculator.

00:17:15.099 --> 00:17:15.880
 The guy was a genius,

00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:16.900
 an absolute genius

00:17:16.900 --> 00:17:17.660
 but he'd been

00:17:17.660 --> 00:17:18.579
 a nominal Christian.

00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:21.460
 But on the evening

00:17:21.460 --> 00:17:22.359
 of Monday the 23rd

00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:23.879
 of November 1654,

00:17:24.339 --> 00:17:25.359
 Pascal had a profound

00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:26.359
 encounter with God.

00:17:28.659 --> 00:17:29.339
 He didn't talk about it

00:17:29.339 --> 00:17:29.699
 very much.

00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:30.119
 In fact,

00:17:30.159 --> 00:17:30.699
 he didn't tell anyone.

00:17:31.099 --> 00:17:32.240
 But he did write about it.

00:17:33.639 --> 00:17:34.439
 He wrote it down

00:17:34.439 --> 00:17:35.240
 on a piece of parchment

00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:36.439
 and he sewed it

00:17:36.439 --> 00:17:37.059
 into the lining

00:17:37.059 --> 00:17:37.699
 of his jacket.

00:17:37.979 --> 00:17:39.500
 He was 31 years of age

00:17:39.500 --> 00:17:40.299
 and although he

00:17:40.299 --> 00:17:41.939
 never spoke about it

00:17:41.939 --> 00:17:43.259
 very much,

00:17:43.259 --> 00:17:44.099
 he wrote it down.

00:17:44.259 --> 00:17:44.859
 It was discovered

00:17:44.859 --> 00:17:45.759
 after his death.

00:17:47.879 --> 00:17:48.659
 His sister looked

00:17:48.659 --> 00:17:49.179
 in his jacket.

00:17:49.299 --> 00:17:49.719
 There was something

00:17:49.719 --> 00:17:50.759
 kind of in the lining.

00:17:51.019 --> 00:17:51.599
 She discovered this.

00:17:51.639 --> 00:17:52.299
 It's called Pascal.

00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:52.919
 Pascal's memorial.

00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:54.159
 This is what it says.

00:17:55.500 --> 00:17:56.059
 Pascal became

00:17:56.059 --> 00:17:56.879
 a great philosopher,

00:17:57.179 --> 00:17:57.779
 a great scholar.

00:17:58.199 --> 00:17:59.839
 He was a very eloquent man.

00:18:01.219 --> 00:18:02.399
 But when he encountered God,

00:18:02.479 --> 00:18:03.159
 this is what he said.

00:18:03.199 --> 00:18:04.139
 It's a bit disjointed

00:18:04.139 --> 00:18:05.319
 because he wanted to capture

00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:06.119
 what he experienced

00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:06.579
 that night.

00:18:06.939 --> 00:18:07.639
 Let me read it to you.

00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:08.399
 Fire,

00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:09.579
 fire,

00:18:10.299 --> 00:18:10.779
 fire.

00:18:12.099 --> 00:18:12.759
 God of Abraham.

00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:14.500
 God of Isaac.

00:18:15.619 --> 00:18:16.500
 God of Jacob.

00:18:16.699 --> 00:18:17.719
 Not of the philosophers

00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:18.640
 and of the learned.

00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:18.720
 The learned.

00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:19.960
 Certitude.

00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:21.360
 Certitude.

00:18:22.500 --> 00:18:22.839
 Feeling.

00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:24.259
 Joy.

00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:26.120
 Peace.

00:18:27.360 --> 00:18:28.779
 God of Jesus Christ.

00:18:29.360 --> 00:18:30.279
 My God.

00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:32.039
 And your God.

00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:33.039
 God of Jesus Christ.

00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:33.039


00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:33.039


00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:34.039
 God of Jesus Christ.

00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:34.039


00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:34.639
 God of Jesus Christ.

00:18:34.639 --> 00:18:35.240
 And so he goes on.

00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:35.680
 That's what he put

00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:36.940
 inside his jacket.

00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:39.440
 And every day,

00:18:39.579 --> 00:18:40.359
 he remembered

00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:41.180
 what had happened to him

00:18:41.180 --> 00:18:42.519
 on Monday the 23rd of November

00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:43.579
 of 1654.

00:18:44.879 --> 00:18:46.059
 He carried it round with him

00:18:46.059 --> 00:18:46.720
 as a memorial

00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:47.619
 to the fact that God

00:18:47.619 --> 00:18:48.519
 is not a concept.

00:18:48.700 --> 00:18:49.639
 God is not an idea.

00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:50.879
 He is the living God

00:18:50.879 --> 00:18:51.859
 and he is the God

00:18:51.859 --> 00:18:52.339
 of people

00:18:52.339 --> 00:18:53.940
 and of places.

00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:54.639
 He is the God

00:18:54.639 --> 00:18:55.119
 of Abraham

00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:55.859
 and Isaac

00:18:55.859 --> 00:18:56.500
 and of Jacob.

00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:57.099
 He is the God

00:18:57.099 --> 00:18:57.740
 of Bethel.

00:18:57.740 --> 00:19:02.200
 These are monuments

00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:04.440
 you can go to.

00:19:04.539 --> 00:19:05.339
 These are places

00:19:05.339 --> 00:19:06.140
 in geography

00:19:06.140 --> 00:19:08.319
 and God has been there,

00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:08.859
 God is saying

00:19:08.859 --> 00:19:09.720
 to the people

00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:10.299
 in Micah's day.

00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:12.940
 God has left

00:19:12.940 --> 00:19:13.680
 his footprints

00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:15.299
 in the sands of time.

00:19:15.700 --> 00:19:16.380
 Oh my people,

00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:16.720
 he says,

00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:17.259
 remember,

00:19:17.579 --> 00:19:18.539
 remember the righteous

00:19:18.539 --> 00:19:19.400
 acts of God.

00:19:22.779 --> 00:19:23.759
 That's what it says

00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:24.839
 there in verse 5.

00:19:27.740 --> 00:19:29.019
 Now how does all this

00:19:29.019 --> 00:19:29.640
 apply to us,

00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:32.059
 this side of the cross

00:19:32.059 --> 00:19:32.740
 and the resurrection?

00:19:32.980 --> 00:19:34.000
 Well, very, very much so.

00:19:36.819 --> 00:19:37.579
 Because tonight,

00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:38.900
 after we've sung a hymn,

00:19:39.059 --> 00:19:39.819
 we will gather round

00:19:39.819 --> 00:19:40.359
 this table

00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:43.279
 and we will hear the words,

00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:44.140
 as the bread

00:19:44.140 --> 00:19:44.559
 and the wine

00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:45.180
 is distributed,

00:19:45.420 --> 00:19:46.019
 Jesus said,

00:19:46.140 --> 00:19:47.059
 do this in remembrance

00:19:47.059 --> 00:19:47.440
 of me.

00:19:49.819 --> 00:19:50.480
 And that is what

00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:50.880
 the Lord's Supper

00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:51.339
 is all about.

00:19:54.120 --> 00:19:54.859
 The Lord's Supper

00:19:54.859 --> 00:19:56.019
 is a cry from the heart

00:19:56.019 --> 00:19:56.960
 of God to his people.

00:19:57.059 --> 00:19:57.680
 Oh my people,

00:19:57.740 --> 00:19:58.380
 oh my people.

00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:02.140
 Chuck Colson,

00:20:02.220 --> 00:20:03.039
 I'm reading some books

00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:03.720
 of his in a minute.

00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:05.339
 He once made this observation

00:20:05.339 --> 00:20:06.440
 about the wine

00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:07.180
 in the Lord's Supper

00:20:07.180 --> 00:20:07.900
 and he said this,

00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:08.859
 the world drinks

00:20:08.859 --> 00:20:09.539
 to forget,

00:20:10.500 --> 00:20:11.299
 the Christian drinks

00:20:11.299 --> 00:20:11.880
 to remember.

00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:12.559
 Isn't that right?

00:20:15.380 --> 00:20:16.279
 The world drinks

00:20:16.279 --> 00:20:16.819
 to forget,

00:20:16.980 --> 00:20:17.759
 the Christian drinks

00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:18.079
 to remember.

00:20:18.099 --> 00:20:18.500
 How important

00:20:18.500 --> 00:20:19.339
 the Lord's Supper is.

00:20:21.019 --> 00:20:21.420
 Which probably

00:20:21.420 --> 00:20:21.960
 happens more often

00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:22.279
 than we do,

00:20:22.339 --> 00:20:23.359
 as often as you do this.

00:20:25.299 --> 00:20:26.039
 As you drink,

00:20:26.120 --> 00:20:27.079
 you show the Lord's death

00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:27.659
 until he comes.

00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:31.119
 Do you remember

00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:32.240
 how in the Gospels

00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:32.980
 Jesus went up

00:20:32.980 --> 00:20:34.839
 the Mount of Transfiguration?

00:20:35.059 --> 00:20:35.779
 He's on this mountain,

00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:36.960
 he's transfigured,

00:20:37.019 --> 00:20:38.659
 his glory shines

00:20:38.659 --> 00:20:39.259
 through the veil

00:20:39.259 --> 00:20:41.039
 of his humanity.

00:20:41.220 --> 00:20:41.659
 It's taken away

00:20:41.659 --> 00:20:42.759
 and Jesus is seen

00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:43.179
 for years,

00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:43.779
 all glorious.

00:20:44.339 --> 00:20:45.099
 He's on the Mount

00:20:45.099 --> 00:20:45.859
 of Transfiguration

00:20:45.859 --> 00:20:46.439
 and he's talking

00:20:46.439 --> 00:20:47.819
 with Moses and Elijah.

00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:48.779
 Peter, James and John

00:20:48.779 --> 00:20:49.500
 can't believe it.

00:20:51.439 --> 00:20:52.059
 They see Jesus

00:20:52.059 --> 00:20:52.919
 talking with Moses

00:20:52.919 --> 00:20:53.399
 and Elijah,

00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:54.399
 the law and the prophets,

00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:55.060
 the great summary

00:20:55.060 --> 00:20:55.740
 of the Old Testament

00:20:55.740 --> 00:20:58.440
 and Jesus is there

00:20:58.440 --> 00:20:58.900
 and what are they

00:20:58.900 --> 00:20:59.340
 talking about?

00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:00.040
 One of the Gospel

00:21:00.040 --> 00:21:00.900
 writers tells us

00:21:00.900 --> 00:21:01.540
 that the subject

00:21:01.540 --> 00:21:02.380
 of that conversation

00:21:02.380 --> 00:21:03.360
 was the exodus,

00:21:03.460 --> 00:21:04.080
 the exodus

00:21:04.080 --> 00:21:05.140
 that he was about

00:21:05.140 --> 00:21:05.620
 to accomplish

00:21:05.620 --> 00:21:06.180
 in Jerusalem.

00:21:10.540 --> 00:21:11.360
 So what has God

00:21:11.360 --> 00:21:12.019
 ever done for us?

00:21:14.180 --> 00:21:16.140
 He has sent his son

00:21:16.140 --> 00:21:16.780
 to set us free

00:21:16.780 --> 00:21:17.480
 from our sins

00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:20.100
 and he became

00:21:20.100 --> 00:21:21.700
 flesh and blood

00:21:21.700 --> 00:21:22.519
 in order to bleed

00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:23.059
 and to die

00:21:23.059 --> 00:21:25.319
 so that you

00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:26.220
 might be set free

00:21:26.220 --> 00:21:26.859
 from the slavery

00:21:26.859 --> 00:21:27.619
 to sin and death

00:21:27.619 --> 00:21:29.639
 and you might be

00:21:29.639 --> 00:21:30.359
 brought into his

00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:30.660
 kingdom,

00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:31.660
 into his family

00:21:31.660 --> 00:21:33.920
 and you might be

00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:34.700
 called children of God

00:21:34.700 --> 00:21:37.799
 and so all my people,

00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:38.579
 oh my people,

00:21:38.700 --> 00:21:39.099
 remember.

00:21:41.299 --> 00:21:42.000
 It's not just

00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:42.759
 a fanciable idea,

00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:43.160
 it's not just

00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:43.920
 a nice thing to believe

00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:44.420
 that makes life

00:21:44.420 --> 00:21:44.960
 a little bit better

00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:45.579
 because it doesn't.

00:21:48.059 --> 00:21:49.079
 This is time

00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:49.859
 and space

00:21:49.859 --> 00:21:50.619
 that's happened

00:21:50.619 --> 00:21:51.240
 in history

00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:53.880
 God has literally

00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:54.980
 put his footpins

00:21:54.980 --> 00:21:55.579
 in the sands

00:21:55.579 --> 00:21:56.000
 of time.

00:21:58.339 --> 00:21:59.039
 And so all my people,

00:21:59.180 --> 00:21:59.740
 remember there is

00:21:59.740 --> 00:22:00.220
 a green hill,

00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:01.000
 I doubt there is

00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:01.519
 a green hill,

00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:02.480
 but there is a hill

00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:04.140
 outside the city wall

00:22:04.140 --> 00:22:05.559
 where God's dear son

00:22:05.559 --> 00:22:06.420
 was crucified

00:22:06.420 --> 00:22:07.519
 who died to save us all.

00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:08.220
 This happened,

00:22:08.299 --> 00:22:08.500
 remember.

00:22:08.900 --> 00:22:10.059
 Look at verse 7.

00:22:15.019 --> 00:22:15.940
 They respond

00:22:15.940 --> 00:22:16.920
 and they say,

00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:17.180
 don't they,

00:22:17.220 --> 00:22:18.640
 shall I give my firstborn

00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:19.740
 for my transgression,

00:22:20.680 --> 00:22:21.900
 the fruit of my body

00:22:21.900 --> 00:22:22.940
 for the sin of my soul.

00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:23.980
 Does God require

00:22:23.980 --> 00:22:25.040
 a human sacrifice?

00:22:27.040 --> 00:22:27.580
 They're saying,

00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:27.800
 aren't they,

00:22:27.940 --> 00:22:29.300
 are all the human sacrifices

00:22:29.300 --> 00:22:29.700
 not enough?

00:22:29.780 --> 00:22:30.400
 Does he require

00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:31.240
 a human sacrifice?

00:22:31.460 --> 00:22:31.980
 Yes, he does.

00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:35.500
 Can you offer it?

00:22:35.580 --> 00:22:36.160
 Can I offer it?

00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:36.440
 No.

00:22:38.020 --> 00:22:39.240
 Why can't you offer it?

00:22:39.280 --> 00:22:40.360
 Because God has already

00:22:40.360 --> 00:22:40.800
 done so.

00:22:43.580 --> 00:22:44.560
 Because God has not

00:22:44.560 --> 00:22:45.440
 spared his own son

00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:46.100
 but gave him up

00:22:46.099 --> 00:22:47.039
 for us all

00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:48.519
 and how will he now

00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:49.959
 not freely give us

00:22:49.959 --> 00:22:50.500
 all things?

00:22:53.199 --> 00:22:53.899
 And so how are we

00:22:53.899 --> 00:22:55.319
 to respond to that,

00:22:55.439 --> 00:22:56.399
 what God has done

00:22:56.399 --> 00:22:57.480
 for us in Christ

00:22:57.480 --> 00:22:58.740
 in giving of his son?

00:22:58.819 --> 00:22:59.599
 How are we to

00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:00.659
 respond to that?

00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:01.559
 What do we do

00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:02.139
 with that

00:23:02.139 --> 00:23:03.199
 when we get

00:23:03.199 --> 00:23:04.339
 eventually to verse 8?

00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:05.599
 And we're ready

00:23:05.599 --> 00:23:06.279
 to understand it,

00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:06.539
 aren't we?

00:23:07.959 --> 00:23:08.839
 What does God

00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:10.000
 require of you

00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:10.659
 and I

00:23:10.659 --> 00:23:11.219
 in the light

00:23:11.219 --> 00:23:11.799
 of what he's done

00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:12.139
 for us?

00:23:12.139 --> 00:23:12.879
 This is what God

00:23:12.879 --> 00:23:13.379
 requires.

00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:15.139
 Do justice.

00:23:16.099 --> 00:23:16.659
 Love kindness

00:23:16.659 --> 00:23:18.319
 and walk humbly

00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:18.839
 with your God.

00:23:20.779 --> 00:23:21.159
 Verse 8,

00:23:21.199 --> 00:23:21.679
 he's shown you,

00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:22.079
 oh man.

00:23:24.339 --> 00:23:25.240
 Where has he shown you?

00:23:25.579 --> 00:23:26.480
 Where has he shown you?

00:23:26.539 --> 00:23:27.039
 He's shown you

00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:27.559
 in his dealings

00:23:27.559 --> 00:23:27.939
 with Israel

00:23:27.939 --> 00:23:28.579
 for a start.

00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:30.299
 The calcitrant bunch,

00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:30.599
 aren't they?

00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:34.480
 The Israelites,

00:23:35.079 --> 00:23:36.019
 they were stubborn,

00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:37.359
 they were rebellious

00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:38.240
 and yet how patiently

00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:39.199
 God deals with them.

00:23:40.699 --> 00:23:41.299
 They keep on

00:23:41.299 --> 00:23:42.019
 breaking his covenant

00:23:42.019 --> 00:23:42.919
 and he sends them

00:23:42.919 --> 00:23:43.579
 into exile

00:23:43.579 --> 00:23:45.219
 and he brings them

00:23:45.219 --> 00:23:46.039
 back from exile

00:23:46.039 --> 00:23:46.159
 to the Lord.

00:23:48.099 --> 00:23:48.779
 He's shown you

00:23:48.779 --> 00:23:50.399
 that he is a just God

00:23:50.399 --> 00:23:52.200
 who will do

00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:52.899
 what he says.

00:23:54.220 --> 00:23:55.440
 He is a just God

00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:56.619
 but he's also a saviour

00:23:56.619 --> 00:23:59.539
 and he will punish

00:23:59.539 --> 00:24:00.519
 sin

00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:01.779
 but he will save

00:24:01.779 --> 00:24:02.259
 sinners.

00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:03.259
 He's shown you.

00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:04.440
 Where?

00:24:04.940 --> 00:24:06.119
 Where has he shown you?

00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:07.500
 Where do you see this?

00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:08.339
 You see it ultimately

00:24:08.339 --> 00:24:10.220
 at the cross.

00:24:10.220 --> 00:24:11.220
 God at the cross.

00:24:11.220 --> 00:24:13.440
 God at the cross

00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:16.339
 where Jesus died.

00:24:17.380 --> 00:24:18.779
 God shows his justice

00:24:18.779 --> 00:24:19.660
 and his mercy.

00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:21.519
 The cross is a revelation

00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:23.160
 of the justice

00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:24.339
 and the mercy of God.

00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:26.539
 It shows us

00:24:26.539 --> 00:24:26.960
 just like the way

00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:27.940
 that God can remain just

00:24:27.940 --> 00:24:28.740
 and yet be merciful

00:24:28.740 --> 00:24:29.700
 to the likes of you and I.

00:24:29.700 --> 00:24:32.519
 How just is God?

00:24:32.580 --> 00:24:33.779
 How righteous is God?

00:24:33.860 --> 00:24:34.700
 Well he's so righteous

00:24:34.700 --> 00:24:35.200
 so holy

00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:36.340
 that when sin is found

00:24:36.340 --> 00:24:37.420
 on his own son

00:24:37.420 --> 00:24:38.860
 not because of what he's done

00:24:38.860 --> 00:24:39.960
 but because it is placed

00:24:39.960 --> 00:24:41.100
 on him by imputation

00:24:41.100 --> 00:24:42.519
 when Jesus takes

00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:43.460
 the sin of the world

00:24:43.460 --> 00:24:44.160
 upon himself

00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:46.299
 he is forsaken

00:24:46.299 --> 00:24:46.819
 by God.

00:24:48.819 --> 00:24:49.640
 He cries out

00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:50.000
 my God

00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:50.380
 my God

00:24:50.380 --> 00:24:51.559
 why have you forsaken me?

00:24:51.620 --> 00:24:52.220
 That's how serious

00:24:52.220 --> 00:24:53.120
 a thing sin is.

00:24:54.220 --> 00:24:55.180
 That's how holy

00:24:55.180 --> 00:24:56.299
 God is.

00:24:56.360 --> 00:24:57.000
 That's how just

00:24:57.000 --> 00:24:57.579
 God is.

00:24:59.579 --> 00:25:00.119
 And yet the cross

00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:00.940
 not only shows us

00:25:00.940 --> 00:25:02.000
 the seriousness of sin

00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:03.599
 and how righteous

00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:04.099
 God is

00:25:04.099 --> 00:25:05.000
 and how he will punish it

00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:05.799
 it also shows us

00:25:05.799 --> 00:25:06.500
 at the same time

00:25:06.500 --> 00:25:06.759
 doesn't it

00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:07.700
 how much God loves sin.

00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:12.119
 It's an old hymn

00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:12.579
 isn't it?

00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:13.380
 I've not sung it

00:25:13.380 --> 00:25:13.960
 since I was growing up

00:25:13.960 --> 00:25:14.279
 in Wales

00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:14.839
 but payment

00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:15.660
 God cannot

00:25:15.660 --> 00:25:16.779
 twice demand

00:25:16.779 --> 00:25:19.359
 first at my bleeding

00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:20.480
 surety's hand

00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:21.799
 and then again at mine.

00:25:24.380 --> 00:25:25.279
 God is just

00:25:25.279 --> 00:25:26.059
 and the reason

00:25:26.059 --> 00:25:26.720
 God is just

00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:27.819
 because he's just

00:25:27.819 --> 00:25:28.519
 he will not punish

00:25:28.519 --> 00:25:29.140
 sin twice

00:25:29.140 --> 00:25:32.579
 and if your sin

00:25:32.579 --> 00:25:33.420
 has been laid

00:25:33.420 --> 00:25:34.480
 on the Lord Jesus Christ

00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:35.240
 it has been punished

00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:35.440
 there

00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:36.120
 he will not punish

00:25:36.120 --> 00:25:36.880
 you for your sins.

00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:38.980
 That would be unjust

00:25:38.980 --> 00:25:39.400
 wouldn't it?

00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:42.480
 That's why John says

00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:43.579
 if we confess our sins

00:25:43.579 --> 00:25:44.480
 if we own up to them

00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:46.460
 if we own up to

00:25:46.460 --> 00:25:47.279
 what we're really like

00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:47.740
 tonight

00:25:47.740 --> 00:25:49.000
 he is what?

00:25:49.059 --> 00:25:49.559
 What is God like?

00:25:49.620 --> 00:25:50.440
 Well he's lovey-dovey

00:25:50.440 --> 00:25:51.400
 and he'll sweep it

00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:52.079
 all under the carpet

00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:52.920
 and he'll say

00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:53.440
 it doesn't matter

00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:54.059
 no that's not

00:25:54.059 --> 00:25:54.740
 what he's like at all.

00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:56.299
 If we confess our sins

00:25:56.299 --> 00:25:57.079
 God is faithful

00:25:57.079 --> 00:25:57.879
 and he's just

00:25:57.879 --> 00:25:59.579
 to forgive us our sins

00:25:59.579 --> 00:26:00.240
 and cleanse us

00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:01.200
 from all unrighteousness.

00:26:03.259 --> 00:26:04.259
 At the cross

00:26:04.259 --> 00:26:05.399
 God's judgment

00:26:05.399 --> 00:26:06.319
 and God's mercy

00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:06.940
 they meet.

00:26:10.339 --> 00:26:11.299
 At the cross

00:26:11.299 --> 00:26:12.279
 God has found a way

00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:13.539
 to be merciful to you

00:26:13.539 --> 00:26:17.899
 and be merciful to me

00:26:17.899 --> 00:26:18.799
 without compromising

00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:19.559
 his justice.

00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:23.139
 what has God

00:26:23.139 --> 00:26:23.759
 ever done for you?

00:26:25.539 --> 00:26:26.159
 What has God

00:26:26.159 --> 00:26:26.799
 ever done for me?

00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:29.460
 He has given

00:26:29.460 --> 00:26:29.919
 his son

00:26:29.919 --> 00:26:30.500
 to die

00:26:30.500 --> 00:26:31.960
 for me.

00:26:33.899 --> 00:26:34.599
 And so what should

00:26:34.599 --> 00:26:35.299
 be my response?

00:26:37.460 --> 00:26:37.819
 Love

00:26:37.819 --> 00:26:38.519
 so amazing

00:26:38.519 --> 00:26:39.359
 so divine

00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:39.799
 demands

00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:40.419
 my soul

00:26:40.419 --> 00:26:41.139
 my life

00:26:41.139 --> 00:26:41.700
 my all.

00:26:44.220 --> 00:26:44.779
 And what will that

00:26:44.779 --> 00:26:45.139
 look like?

00:26:45.179 --> 00:26:45.659
 Well that's where

00:26:45.659 --> 00:26:46.440
 you begin to act

00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:46.840
 justly.

00:26:48.600 --> 00:26:49.220
 And he began

00:26:49.220 --> 00:26:50.180
 to love mercy

00:26:50.180 --> 00:26:51.700
 and he began

00:26:51.700 --> 00:26:52.400
 to walk humbly.

00:26:55.779 --> 00:26:56.980
 In the 1970s

00:26:56.980 --> 00:26:57.620
 E.D. Armin

00:26:57.620 --> 00:26:58.160
 he was

00:26:58.160 --> 00:27:00.500
 Ugandan

00:27:00.500 --> 00:27:01.759
 president

00:27:01.759 --> 00:27:02.360
 kind of

00:27:02.360 --> 00:27:02.820
 totalitarian

00:27:02.820 --> 00:27:03.980
 ruler

00:27:03.980 --> 00:27:04.539
 if you've seen

00:27:04.539 --> 00:27:04.740
 the film

00:27:04.740 --> 00:27:05.259
 The Last King

00:27:05.259 --> 00:27:05.720
 of Scotland

00:27:05.720 --> 00:27:06.460
 it's kind of

00:27:06.460 --> 00:27:06.799
 depiction

00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:07.500
 of what he was

00:27:07.500 --> 00:27:07.880
 like really.

00:27:09.519 --> 00:27:10.380
 And E.D. Armin

00:27:10.380 --> 00:27:11.360
 murdered the

00:27:11.360 --> 00:27:11.920
 Archbishop

00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:13.019
 Janani Lawum.

00:27:14.220 --> 00:27:14.980
 Janani Lawum

00:27:14.980 --> 00:27:15.440
 he was the

00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:15.900
 leader of the

00:27:15.900 --> 00:27:16.180
 church in

00:27:16.180 --> 00:27:16.599
 Uganda.

00:27:18.120 --> 00:27:18.480
 E.D. Armin

00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:19.220
 murdered him.

00:27:19.339 --> 00:27:19.740
 Next to him

00:27:19.740 --> 00:27:20.259
 for the job

00:27:20.259 --> 00:27:20.660
 was a man

00:27:20.660 --> 00:27:20.940
 called

00:27:20.940 --> 00:27:21.480
 Amfesto

00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:22.079
 Kivangari.

00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:24.319
 Amfesto

00:27:24.319 --> 00:27:24.839
 Kivangari

00:27:24.839 --> 00:27:25.400
 struggled

00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:25.799
 with what

00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:26.019
 he should

00:27:26.019 --> 00:27:26.200
 do

00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:26.500
 but he

00:27:26.500 --> 00:27:27.160
 fled the

00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:27.440
 country

00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:28.140
 understandably.

00:27:30.259 --> 00:27:30.680
 And during

00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:31.819
 his exile

00:27:31.819 --> 00:27:32.160
 Festo

00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:32.640
 Kivangari

00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:33.960
 wrote a

00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:34.279
 book

00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:35.720
 while

00:27:35.720 --> 00:27:36.200
 Ammin

00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:36.440
 was

00:27:36.440 --> 00:27:37.360
 persecuting

00:27:37.360 --> 00:27:37.740
 and killing

00:27:37.740 --> 00:27:38.220
 Christians.

00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:40.420
 During his

00:27:40.420 --> 00:27:40.680
 exile

00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:40.980
 Festo

00:27:40.980 --> 00:27:41.339
 Kivangari

00:27:41.339 --> 00:27:41.720
 wrote this

00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:41.960
 book

00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:42.259
 and the

00:27:42.259 --> 00:27:42.579
 title of

00:27:42.579 --> 00:27:42.740
 the book

00:27:42.740 --> 00:27:42.960
 is a

00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:43.220
 strange

00:27:43.220 --> 00:27:43.559
 title.

00:27:43.700 --> 00:27:43.980
 The title

00:27:43.980 --> 00:27:44.140
 of the

00:27:44.140 --> 00:27:44.519

00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:45.059
 Why I

 Love

00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:46.099
 E.D. Armin.

00:27:49.700 --> 00:27:50.259
 And in

00:27:50.259 --> 00:27:50.599
 that book

00:27:52.700 --> 00:27:53.379
 about his

00:27:53.379 --> 00:27:54.339
 and expresses

00:27:54.339 --> 00:27:54.920
 his longing

00:27:54.920 --> 00:27:55.799
 for E.D. Armin

00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:56.619
 that evil

00:27:56.619 --> 00:27:57.039
 dictator

00:27:57.039 --> 00:27:57.460
 to come

00:27:57.460 --> 00:27:57.859
 to know

00:27:57.859 --> 00:27:58.039
 the

00:27:58.039 --> 00:27:58.420
 forgiveness

00:27:58.420 --> 00:27:59.000
 of God.

00:28:01.500 --> 00:28:02.099
 How can

00:28:02.099 --> 00:28:02.480
 he write

00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:02.779
 a book

00:28:02.779 --> 00:28:03.180
 like that?

00:28:05.019 --> 00:28:05.579
 How can

00:28:05.579 --> 00:28:05.799
 he write

00:28:05.799 --> 00:28:06.039
 a book

00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:06.259
 like that

00:28:06.259 --> 00:28:06.500
 when his

00:28:06.500 --> 00:28:07.359
 best friend

00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:08.259
 had been

00:28:08.259 --> 00:28:08.599
 murdered

00:28:08.599 --> 00:28:09.019
 by this

00:28:09.019 --> 00:28:09.379
 tyrant?

00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:12.139
 How can

00:28:12.139 --> 00:28:12.500
 he write

00:28:12.500 --> 00:28:12.779
 a book

00:28:12.779 --> 00:28:13.119
 like that

00:28:13.119 --> 00:28:13.519
 when so

00:28:13.519 --> 00:28:13.700
 many

00:28:13.700 --> 00:28:14.340
 atrocities

00:28:14.340 --> 00:28:14.840
 were taking

00:28:14.840 --> 00:28:15.400
 place

00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:15.920
 when so

00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:16.080
 many

00:28:16.080 --> 00:28:16.759
 injustices

00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:17.279
 were being

00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:18.019
 afflicted?

00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:19.200
 How can

00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:19.500
 he write

00:28:19.500 --> 00:28:19.819
 a book

00:28:19.819 --> 00:28:20.519
 why I

00:28:20.519 --> 00:28:20.880
 love

00:28:20.880 --> 00:28:21.500
 E.D. Armin?

00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:23.100
 Only because

00:28:23.100 --> 00:28:23.500
 Festo

00:28:23.500 --> 00:28:24.100
 Kivangari

00:28:24.100 --> 00:28:26.120
 he himself

00:28:26.120 --> 00:28:26.519
 knew the

00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:26.960
 mercy of

00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:27.240
 God

00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:30.759
 and he

00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:31.400
 recognized

00:28:31.400 --> 00:28:32.819
 that he

00:28:32.819 --> 00:28:33.120
 needed

00:28:33.120 --> 00:28:33.500
 forgiving

00:28:33.500 --> 00:28:33.920
 just like

00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:34.519
 E.D. Armin

00:28:34.519 --> 00:28:36.200
 needed

00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:36.480
 forgiveness.

00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:39.160
 And here's

00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:39.539
 the shocking

00:28:39.539 --> 00:28:39.779
 truth

00:28:39.779 --> 00:28:40.079
 we're all

00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:40.259
 in the

00:28:40.259 --> 00:28:40.440
 same

00:28:40.440 --> 00:28:40.640
 boat

00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:40.819
 aren't

00:28:40.819 --> 00:28:41.039
 we?

00:28:42.319 --> 00:28:44.880
 All of

00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:45.240
 us human

00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:45.819
 beings

00:28:45.819 --> 00:28:46.440
 we're all

00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:46.660
 in the

00:28:46.660 --> 00:28:46.839
 same

00:28:46.839 --> 00:28:47.120
 boat.

00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:47.539
 So

00:28:47.539 --> 00:28:47.920
 offensive

00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:48.339
 isn't it?

00:28:50.420 --> 00:28:50.920
 We're all

00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:51.059
 in the

00:28:51.059 --> 00:28:51.380
 same boat

00:28:51.380 --> 00:28:51.559
 and the

00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:51.799
 boat is

00:28:51.799 --> 00:28:51.960
 called

00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:52.180
 the

00:28:52.180 --> 00:28:52.519
 Titanic

00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:52.819
 and we're

00:28:52.819 --> 00:28:52.940
 all

00:28:52.940 --> 00:28:53.099
 going

00:28:53.099 --> 00:28:53.360
 down.

00:28:55.240 --> 00:28:55.680
 And we

00:28:55.680 --> 00:28:56.000
 all need

00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:56.799
 I need

00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:57.599
 you need

00:28:57.599 --> 00:28:57.860
 God

00:28:57.860 --> 00:28:58.420
 to be

00:28:58.420 --> 00:28:58.700
 merciful

00:28:58.700 --> 00:28:59.099
 to you.

00:29:01.880 --> 00:29:02.400
 We're all

00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:02.640
 sinners

00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:03.400
 in different

00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:03.680
 ways.

00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:04.019
 it'll show

00:29:04.019 --> 00:29:04.240
 itself

00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:04.380
 in

00:29:04.380 --> 00:29:04.580
 different

00:29:04.580 --> 00:29:04.900
 ways.

00:29:07.259 --> 00:29:07.900
 And all

00:29:07.900 --> 00:29:08.120
 of us

00:29:08.120 --> 00:29:08.320
 need

00:29:08.320 --> 00:29:08.519
 God

00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:08.740
 to be

00:29:08.740 --> 00:29:09.019
 merciful

00:29:09.019 --> 00:29:09.560
 to us.

00:29:12.500 --> 00:29:13.100
 And those

00:29:13.100 --> 00:29:13.600
 who know

00:29:13.600 --> 00:29:14.160
 the mercy

00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:14.600
 of God

00:29:14.600 --> 00:29:14.900
 will be

00:29:14.900 --> 00:29:15.299
 those who

00:29:15.299 --> 00:29:15.700
 show the

00:29:15.700 --> 00:29:16.120
 mercy of

00:29:16.120 --> 00:29:16.320
 God.

00:29:19.019 --> 00:29:19.560
 And if

00:29:19.560 --> 00:29:19.980
 you know

00:29:19.980 --> 00:29:20.420
 the grace

00:29:20.420 --> 00:29:20.940
 of God

00:29:20.940 --> 00:29:21.299
 you will

00:29:21.299 --> 00:29:21.880
 want to

00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:22.220
 live it

00:29:22.220 --> 00:29:22.880
 out in

00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:23.039
 your

00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:23.500
 relationships

00:29:23.500 --> 00:29:23.779
 with

00:29:23.779 --> 00:29:24.060
 others.

00:29:27.460 --> 00:29:27.920
 It'll

00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:28.279
 show

00:29:28.279 --> 00:29:28.840
 itself

00:29:28.840 --> 00:29:31.140
 not only

00:29:31.140 --> 00:29:31.320
 in the

00:29:31.320 --> 00:29:31.560
 way that

00:29:31.560 --> 00:29:31.799
 you

00:29:31.799 --> 00:29:32.400
 handle

00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:32.700
 other

00:29:32.700 --> 00:29:32.940
 human

00:29:32.940 --> 00:29:33.279
 relationships

00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:33.619
 which are

00:29:33.619 --> 00:29:33.920
 close

00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:34.180
 to

00:29:34.180 --> 00:29:34.420
 you

00:29:34.420 --> 00:29:35.019
 but it

00:29:35.019 --> 00:29:35.119
 will

00:29:35.119 --> 00:29:35.319
 show

00:29:35.319 --> 00:29:35.779
 yourself

00:29:35.779 --> 00:29:38.639
 in

00:29:38.639 --> 00:29:39.819
 how you

00:29:39.819 --> 00:29:40.059
 view

00:29:40.059 --> 00:29:40.379
 public

00:29:40.379 --> 00:29:40.539
 and

00:29:40.539 --> 00:29:40.960
 societal

00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:41.579
 issues.

00:29:42.579 --> 00:29:42.779
 In a view

00:29:42.779 --> 00:29:43.339
 of compassion.

00:29:46.839 --> 00:29:47.359
 You'll

00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:47.660
 want to

00:29:47.660 --> 00:29:47.920
 act

00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:48.399
 justly

00:29:48.399 --> 00:29:48.740
 and show

00:29:48.740 --> 00:29:49.139
 mercy.

00:29:50.799 --> 00:29:51.299
 You'll

00:29:51.299 --> 00:29:51.759
 want to

00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:52.019
 walk

00:29:52.019 --> 00:29:52.500
 humbly

00:29:52.500 --> 00:29:52.940
 before

00:29:52.940 --> 00:29:53.399
 God.

00:29:57.119 --> 00:29:57.759
 If you

00:29:57.759 --> 00:29:58.200
 know

00:29:58.200 --> 00:29:58.759
 God's

00:29:58.759 --> 00:29:59.259
 grace

00:29:59.259 --> 00:29:59.920
 God's

00:29:59.920 --> 00:30:00.599
 you'll

00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:01.640
 will

00:30:01.640 --> 00:30:01.819
 be

00:30:01.819 --> 00:30:02.279
 very

00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:02.980
 reluctant

00:30:02.980 --> 00:30:03.279
 to

00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:03.799
 condemn.

00:30:06.220 --> 00:30:06.640
 Nor

00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:06.900
 will you

00:30:06.900 --> 00:30:07.259
 want to

00:30:07.259 --> 00:30:07.779
 condone

00:30:07.779 --> 00:30:08.200
 isn't it?

00:30:10.519 --> 00:30:10.960
 You'll

00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:11.339
 not be

00:30:11.339 --> 00:30:11.599
 one of

00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:11.839
 those

00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:12.640
 pharisaic

00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:13.019
 figures

00:30:13.019 --> 00:30:13.819
 crying out

00:30:13.819 --> 00:30:14.200
 what a

00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:14.559
 terrible

00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:15.099
 word we

00:30:15.099 --> 00:30:15.460
 live in

00:30:15.460 --> 00:30:15.779
 ringing

00:30:15.779 --> 00:30:16.339
 up five

00:30:16.339 --> 00:30:16.680
 live.

00:30:19.319 --> 00:30:20.000
 You will

00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:20.480
 recognize

00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:21.180
 in your

00:30:21.180 --> 00:30:21.440
 own

00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:22.019
 heart

00:30:22.019 --> 00:30:23.779
 there but

00:30:23.779 --> 00:30:24.019
 for the

00:30:24.019 --> 00:30:24.379
 grace of

00:30:24.380 --> 00:30:24.560
 God

00:30:24.560 --> 00:30:24.980
 go I.

00:30:27.020 --> 00:30:27.640
 And you

00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:28.260
 will act

00:30:28.260 --> 00:30:29.020
 justly and

00:30:29.020 --> 00:30:29.400
 you will

00:30:29.400 --> 00:30:29.980
 love

00:30:29.980 --> 00:30:30.700
 mercy.

00:30:31.040 --> 00:30:31.400
 Love it.

00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:34.840
 And you'll

00:30:34.840 --> 00:30:35.520
 walk humbly

00:30:35.520 --> 00:30:36.500
 not arrogantly

00:30:36.500 --> 00:30:37.280
 not proudly

00:30:37.280 --> 00:30:39.740
 not in a

00:30:39.740 --> 00:30:40.340
 superior way

00:30:40.340 --> 00:30:40.700
 not in a

00:30:40.700 --> 00:30:41.240
 patronizing

00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:42.080
 way but

00:30:42.080 --> 00:30:42.380
 humbly.

00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:45.580
 Because the

00:30:45.580 --> 00:30:46.000
 Bible teaches

00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:46.420
 us that God

00:30:46.420 --> 00:30:46.920
 resists the

00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:49.540
 proud but

00:30:49.540 --> 00:30:49.820
 he gives

00:30:49.820 --> 00:30:50.180
 grace to

00:30:50.180 --> 00:30:50.480
 the humble.

00:30:53.320 --> 00:30:54.020
 Like a

00:30:54.019 --> 00:30:54.720
 magnet isn't

00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:54.839
 it?

00:30:54.960 --> 00:30:55.700
 You turn

00:30:55.700 --> 00:30:56.619
 the magnet

00:30:56.619 --> 00:30:57.079
 the wrong

00:30:57.079 --> 00:30:57.420
 way around.

00:30:57.500 --> 00:30:57.759
 I can never

00:30:57.759 --> 00:30:58.139
 work out

00:30:58.139 --> 00:30:58.460
 which way

00:30:58.460 --> 00:30:58.740
 it is but

00:30:58.740 --> 00:30:59.559
 you turn

00:30:59.559 --> 00:30:59.839
 it around

00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:00.119
 the wrong

00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:00.599
 way and

00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:01.220
 you can

00:31:01.220 --> 00:31:02.639
 push the

00:31:02.639 --> 00:31:03.119
 iron filings

00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:03.619
 away can't

00:31:03.619 --> 00:31:03.759
 you?

00:31:05.180 --> 00:31:05.680
 But then

00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:06.160
 you flick

00:31:06.160 --> 00:31:06.660
 the magnet

00:31:06.660 --> 00:31:09.160
 and the

00:31:09.160 --> 00:31:09.740
 iron filings

00:31:09.740 --> 00:31:11.019
 just are so

00:31:11.019 --> 00:31:11.500
 attracted to

00:31:11.500 --> 00:31:11.559
 it.

00:31:11.639 --> 00:31:11.900
 It's the same

00:31:11.900 --> 00:31:12.500
 with pride

00:31:12.500 --> 00:31:12.799
 isn't it?

00:31:12.819 --> 00:31:13.019
 With the

00:31:13.019 --> 00:31:13.240
 proud.

00:31:13.539 --> 00:31:14.099
 God wants

00:31:14.099 --> 00:31:14.519
 nothing to do

00:31:14.519 --> 00:31:14.660
 with the

00:31:14.660 --> 00:31:14.859
 proud.

00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:15.879
 He resists

00:31:15.879 --> 00:31:16.279
 them but

00:31:16.279 --> 00:31:16.519
 with the

00:31:16.519 --> 00:31:16.839
 humble he

00:31:16.839 --> 00:31:17.119
 can't keep

00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:17.460
 away from

00:31:17.460 --> 00:31:17.619
 them.

00:31:20.660 --> 00:31:21.099
 That's the

00:31:21.099 --> 00:31:21.700
 micro challenge.

00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:23.940
 It's much

00:31:23.940 --> 00:31:24.920
 more than we

00:31:24.920 --> 00:31:26.120
 realise it's

00:31:26.120 --> 00:31:26.900
 not a social

00:31:26.900 --> 00:31:27.539
 gospel at all.

00:31:28.519 --> 00:31:28.860
 It's got

00:31:28.860 --> 00:31:30.140
 social implications

00:31:30.140 --> 00:31:30.880
 massive ones.

00:31:33.740 --> 00:31:34.480
 The challenge

00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:35.039
 is to point

00:31:35.039 --> 00:31:35.779
 to what God

00:31:35.779 --> 00:31:36.559
 has done in

00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:37.100
 human history

00:31:37.100 --> 00:31:37.779
 through Christ

00:31:37.779 --> 00:31:39.900
 and to

00:31:39.900 --> 00:31:40.640
 proclaim Christ

00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:42.840
 and to

00:31:42.840 --> 00:31:43.160
 call people

00:31:43.160 --> 00:31:43.740
 to respond

00:31:43.740 --> 00:31:44.480
 to what Christ

00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:44.799
 has done

00:31:44.799 --> 00:31:45.059
 for them.

00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:48.920
 And so

00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:49.840
 he has told

00:31:49.840 --> 00:31:50.680
 you oh man

00:31:50.680 --> 00:31:51.680
 oh IPC

00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:52.400
 what is good

00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:52.900
 and what

00:31:52.900 --> 00:31:53.220
 does the

00:31:53.220 --> 00:31:53.700
 Lord require

00:31:53.700 --> 00:31:54.039
 of you.

00:31:55.480 --> 00:31:55.920
 But to do

00:31:55.920 --> 00:31:56.400
 justice

00:31:56.400 --> 00:31:57.960
 to love

00:31:57.960 --> 00:31:58.360
 kindness

00:31:58.360 --> 00:32:00.480
 and more

00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:00.740
 humbly

00:32:00.740 --> 00:32:00.960
 with your

00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:01.180
 God.

00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620

00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620

00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620

00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620


00:32:01.620 --> 00:32:01.620
