00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.400
 Exodus chapter 12, it's on page 68 of the Church Bible.

00:00:07.679 --> 00:00:11.679
 So Exodus chapter 12 and it's verse 1 to 14.

00:00:12.660 --> 00:00:16.140
 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt,

00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:22.019
 This month is to be for you the first month, the first month of your year.

00:00:22.820 --> 00:00:27.839
 Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month,

00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:33.340
 each man is to take a lamb for his family, one for each household.

00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:37.740
 If any household is too small for a whole lamb,

00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:40.620
 they must share one with the nearest neighbor,

00:00:41.519 --> 00:00:45.100
 having taken into account the number of people there are.

00:00:46.219 --> 00:00:52.039
 You are to determine the amount of lamb needed in accordance with what each person will eat.

00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:58.019
 The animals you choose must be year-old males, without defect,

00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:01.399
 and you may take them from the sheep or the goats.

00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:06.319
 Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month,

00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:11.700
 when all the people of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight.

00:01:11.700 --> 00:01:20.020
 Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the door frames of the houses

00:01:20.020 --> 00:01:21.980
 where they eat the lambs.

00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:27.560
 That same night they are to eat the meat roasted over the fire,

00:01:28.260 --> 00:01:32.379
 along with bitter herbs and bread made without yeast.

00:01:32.379 --> 00:01:36.979
 Do not eat the meat raw or cooked in water,

00:01:37.579 --> 00:01:42.479
 but roast it over the fire, head, legs and inner parts.

00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:45.560
 Do not leave any of it until morning.

00:01:46.259 --> 00:01:49.539
 If something is left till morning, you must burn it.

00:01:50.500 --> 00:01:52.519
 This is how you are to eat it,

00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:55.340
 with your cloak tucked into your belt,

00:01:55.899 --> 00:01:57.679
 and your sandals on your feet,

00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:00.079
 and your staff in your hand.

00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:04.299
 Eat it in haste, it is the Lord's Passover.

00:02:05.459 --> 00:02:08.800
 On that same night I will pass through Egypt

00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:11.740
 and strike down every firstborn,

00:02:12.340 --> 00:02:13.939
 both men and animals,

00:02:14.500 --> 00:02:17.800
 and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt.

00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:19.400
 I am the Lord.

00:02:20.259 --> 00:02:24.579
 The blood will be assigned to you on the houses where they are,

00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:28.159
 and when I see the blood, I will pass over you.

00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:32.319
 No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.

00:02:33.740 --> 00:02:38.259
 This is the day you are to commemorate for the generations to come.

00:02:38.939 --> 00:02:41.819
 You shall celebrate it as a festival to the Lord,

00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:43.280
 a lasting ordinance.

00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:54.500
 Okay, this reading is from 1 Corinthians 11, verse 12,

00:02:54.620 --> 00:02:58.180
 and that's on page 1152.

00:03:01.180 --> 00:03:03.139
 That's 1152.

00:03:03.139 --> 00:03:08.079
 I think I have a book in verse 17.

00:03:10.299 --> 00:03:11.459
 Oh, right.

00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:11.859
 Okay.

00:03:12.659 --> 00:03:16.379
 Yeah, that's 1 Corinthians 11, verse 17.

00:03:16.379 --> 00:03:21.479
 In the following directives,

00:03:21.819 --> 00:03:23.639
 I have no praise for you,

00:03:24.079 --> 00:03:25.979
 for your meetings do more harm than good.

00:03:26.699 --> 00:03:27.539
 In the first place,

00:03:27.620 --> 00:03:29.919
 I hear that when you come together as a church,

00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:31.719
 there are divisions among you,

00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:34.060
 and to some extent I believe it.

00:03:34.460 --> 00:03:37.120
 No doubt there have to be differences among you

00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.359
 to show which of you have God's approval.

00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:41.260
 When you come together,

00:03:41.820 --> 00:03:43.460
 it is not the Lord's supper you eat,

00:03:44.040 --> 00:03:47.720
 for as you eat,

00:03:48.140 --> 00:03:51.800
 each of you goes ahead without waiting for anybody else.

00:03:52.540 --> 00:03:54.520
 One remains hungry, another gets drunk.

00:03:55.600 --> 00:03:57.940
 Don't you have homes to eat and drink in?

00:03:58.780 --> 00:04:00.980
 Or do you despise the church of God

00:04:00.980 --> 00:04:03.700
 and humiliate those who have nothing?

00:04:03.699 --> 00:04:06.500
 What shall I say to you?

00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:08.479
 Shall I praise you for this?

00:04:08.679 --> 00:04:09.500
 Certainly not.

00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:12.039
 For I receive from the Lord

00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:15.419
 what also passed on to you.

00:04:16.579 --> 00:04:19.219
 The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed,

00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:19.879
 took bread,

00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:21.779
 and when he had given thanks,

00:04:22.259 --> 00:04:23.120
 he broke and said,

00:04:23.259 --> 00:04:25.399
 This is my body, which is for you.

00:04:26.379 --> 00:04:27.959
 Do this in remembrance of me.

00:04:28.819 --> 00:04:30.360
 In the same way, after supper,

00:04:30.459 --> 00:04:31.639
 he took the cup, saying,

00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:34.599
 This is the cup of the new covenant in my blood.

00:04:35.139 --> 00:04:38.339
 Do this whenever you drink in remembrance of me.

00:04:39.719 --> 00:04:42.439
 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup,

00:04:42.779 --> 00:04:45.500
 you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

00:04:45.500 --> 00:05:02.420
 So, please keep your Bibles open at 1 Corinthians 11.

00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:06.339
 Kirstie's or Angelina are handing around pens and sheets.

00:05:06.459 --> 00:05:08.199
 If anybody would like that to take notes,

00:05:09.060 --> 00:05:11.680
 please feel free to do that.

00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:19.300
 Looking at different aspects of our gathering on Sundays

00:05:19.300 --> 00:05:20.500
 when we meet together.

00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.740
 Looking at things like hearing God's word from the Bible,

00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:28.680
 prayer, singing together,

00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:33.960
 and something we also do is to remember Jesus' death.

00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:37.800
 So, this morning we celebrate the Lord's Supper

00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:39.980
 and we're going to focus and look in that

00:05:39.980 --> 00:05:42.000
 and hopefully what we do this morning

00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:43.699
 is going to help us.

00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:45.180
 It will shape a little bit more

00:05:45.180 --> 00:05:50.520
 of how we should think about this very simple meal.

00:05:51.660 --> 00:05:53.180
 Well, let's pray together

00:05:53.180 --> 00:05:56.680
 and ask for God's help in this.

00:05:56.680 --> 00:06:05.840
 Our Father, thank you again for your amazing grace.

00:06:06.840 --> 00:06:10.860
 Thank you for the word of your grace.

00:06:12.660 --> 00:06:16.240
 Thank you that we can hear you speak to us

00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:17.259
 by your Spirit.

00:06:17.259 --> 00:06:23.019
 and we pray that you would continue to change us

00:06:23.019 --> 00:06:24.120
 and transform us

00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:28.079
 and as we think about the Lord's Supper,

00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:31.360
 something we do very often

00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:36.379
 and maybe we just do without thinking,

00:06:37.379 --> 00:06:40.180
 we pray that we would learn afresh

00:06:40.180 --> 00:06:41.659
 what it is all about,

00:06:41.660 --> 00:06:44.680
 how it changes us

00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:48.420
 and how it helps us to understand

00:06:48.420 --> 00:06:49.439
 your grace better.

00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:52.960
 So, we ask for your help in this this morning.

00:06:53.500 --> 00:06:54.440
 In Jesus' name.

00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:55.420
 Amen.

00:06:58.420 --> 00:07:01.340
 Well, depending on your church tradition,

00:07:01.340 --> 00:07:04.460
 the celebration of the bread and wine

00:07:04.460 --> 00:07:05.960
 is known by different names.

00:07:06.140 --> 00:07:09.000
 So, if you happen to come from a Protestant tradition,

00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:11.720
 you might call it something like Holy Communion

00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:13.300
 or the Lord's Supper.

00:07:13.779 --> 00:07:15.779
 If you come from a Catholic tradition,

00:07:16.060 --> 00:07:17.980
 you might call it the Eucharist,

00:07:18.060 --> 00:07:20.819
 which simply means Thanksgiving

00:07:20.819 --> 00:07:22.459
 or the Sacrament.

00:07:23.740 --> 00:07:25.879
 But we're not so much interested

00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:27.579
 in various church traditions.

00:07:28.220 --> 00:07:31.620
 We want to hear what the Bible has to say.

00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:36.100
 Primarily, when we're thinking about the Lord's Supper,

00:07:36.100 --> 00:07:39.780
 it is a dramatic visual picture

00:07:39.780 --> 00:07:41.980
 of the Gospel.

00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:46.600
 The good news that Jesus Christ died for our sins

00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:49.360
 and that we can be forgiven.

00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:52.060
 That's why we can call it,

00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:53.420
 or as I have termed it,

00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:55.400
 the Grace Meal.

00:07:56.080 --> 00:07:57.400
 As we gather,

00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:00.379
 we remember and we participate

00:08:00.379 --> 00:08:03.140
 in God's grace to us.

00:08:03.139 --> 00:08:06.199
 It flows from God to us.

00:08:06.819 --> 00:08:07.740
 And as we gather,

00:08:07.939 --> 00:08:08.759
 we practice

00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:12.300
 and we announce God's grace to each other.

00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:15.439
 So we receive God's grace

00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:18.699
 and we give God's grace.

00:08:19.860 --> 00:08:22.539
 The detail of this Grace Meal

00:08:22.539 --> 00:08:25.479
 is mentioned only five times

00:08:25.479 --> 00:08:26.620
 in the New Testament.

00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:28.860
 We read about it three times

00:08:28.860 --> 00:08:29.680
 in the Gospels,

00:08:29.819 --> 00:08:31.419
 Matthew, Mark and Luke,

00:08:31.420 --> 00:08:33.879
 and there's a couple of references,

00:08:34.139 --> 00:08:35.200
 one of which is here

00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:36.340
 in Corinthians.

00:08:37.340 --> 00:08:39.340
 It's a command from the Lord Jesus

00:08:39.340 --> 00:08:42.720
 as we read in verse 23 of chapter 11.

00:08:43.300 --> 00:08:45.279
 This is Paul writing, he says,

00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:47.580
 For I received from the Lord

00:08:47.580 --> 00:08:50.700
 what I also passed on to you.

00:08:50.779 --> 00:08:52.259
 So he got it from the Lord,

00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:54.519
 the Lord Jesus instituted it

00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:56.860
 and he passes it on to his church,

00:08:56.980 --> 00:08:58.159
 to his people.

00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.319
 So let's have a look at what this Grace Meal

00:09:01.319 --> 00:09:02.219
 is all about.

00:09:02.379 --> 00:09:03.019
 And to do that,

00:09:03.100 --> 00:09:04.679
 we're going to look at four things

00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:06.360
 as we share in this meal.

00:09:07.219 --> 00:09:07.819
 First one,

00:09:07.899 --> 00:09:09.419
 we remember God's grace.

00:09:10.379 --> 00:09:10.860
 Second,

00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:13.100
 we participate in God's grace.

00:09:13.439 --> 00:09:13.839
 Third,

00:09:13.959 --> 00:09:15.759
 we practice God's grace.

00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:17.139
 And fourth,

00:09:17.299 --> 00:09:19.199
 we announce God's grace.

00:09:19.299 --> 00:09:21.559
 So we're going to look at those four things

00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:23.939
 to help us better understand

00:09:23.939 --> 00:09:25.439
 this simple meal.

00:09:25.579 --> 00:09:25.799
 First,

00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:27.439
 we remember God's grace.

00:09:27.579 --> 00:09:28.679
 Look at verse 24.

00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:30.539
 When he,

00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:31.479
 that Jesus,

00:09:31.620 --> 00:09:33.000
 had given thanks for the bread

00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:33.559
 and broke it,

00:09:33.579 --> 00:09:33.859
 he said,

00:09:33.939 --> 00:09:34.899
 This is my body,

00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:35.779
 which is for you.

00:09:36.219 --> 00:09:38.259
 Do this in remembrance

00:09:38.259 --> 00:09:39.799
 of me.

00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:41.500
 In the same way,

00:09:41.539 --> 00:09:42.120
 after supper,

00:09:42.179 --> 00:09:43.199
 he took the cup saying,

00:09:43.579 --> 00:09:44.759
 This cup is the new covenant

00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:45.479
 in my blood.

00:09:45.579 --> 00:09:46.979
 Do this whenever you drink it

00:09:46.979 --> 00:09:48.599
 in remembrance

00:09:48.599 --> 00:09:49.799
 of me.

00:09:51.439 --> 00:09:52.399
 But what is it

00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:53.939
 that we are remembering

00:09:53.940 --> 00:09:55.080
 about Jesus?

00:09:56.420 --> 00:09:56.900
 Well,

00:09:56.920 --> 00:09:58.080
 there are two events

00:09:58.080 --> 00:09:59.740
 that we need to look at.

00:10:01.020 --> 00:10:02.340
 The first has to do

00:10:02.340 --> 00:10:03.080
 with the Passover.

00:10:03.620 --> 00:10:05.020
 Look at verse 23.

00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:07.140
 He says,

00:10:07.260 --> 00:10:08.800
 For I received from the Lord

00:10:08.800 --> 00:10:10.840
 what I also passed

00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:11.720
 unto you.

00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:13.140
 The Lord Jesus,

00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:14.240
 on the night

00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:15.720
 he was betrayed,

00:10:16.260 --> 00:10:16.940
 took bread.

00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:18.800
 But what happened

00:10:18.800 --> 00:10:19.720
 on that night?

00:10:20.460 --> 00:10:21.400
 The first time

00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:22.419
 Jesus celebrated

00:10:22.419 --> 00:10:24.220
 with his disciples.

00:10:25.220 --> 00:10:25.500
 Well,

00:10:25.539 --> 00:10:26.399
 Paul is giving us

00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:27.360
 a context

00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:28.740
 to help us

00:10:28.740 --> 00:10:29.480
 to understand

00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:30.959
 what we are to remember.

00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:33.019
 He's bringing to our minds

00:10:33.019 --> 00:10:34.100
 to think back

00:10:34.100 --> 00:10:35.279
 to what happened

00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:36.399
 when Jesus was with

00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:37.179
 his disciples

00:10:37.179 --> 00:10:38.559
 on that night.

00:10:39.059 --> 00:10:40.279
 Let me read to you

00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:42.259
 what happened

00:10:42.259 --> 00:10:43.019
 on that night.

00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:44.559
 It's Matthew 26,

00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:45.600
 verse 17.

00:10:45.740 --> 00:10:47.019
 Just listen to these words.

00:10:47.019 --> 00:10:50.120
 The disciples said to Jesus,

00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:51.699
 Where do you want us

00:10:51.699 --> 00:10:53.259
 to make preparations

00:10:53.259 --> 00:10:54.819
 for you to eat

00:10:54.819 --> 00:10:55.639
 the Passover?

00:10:57.399 --> 00:10:58.379
 Jesus replied,

00:10:58.519 --> 00:10:59.460
 Go into the city

00:10:59.460 --> 00:11:00.419
 to a certain man

00:11:00.419 --> 00:11:01.139
 and tell him,

00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:02.460
 The teacher says,

00:11:02.539 --> 00:11:03.639
 My appointed time

00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:04.100
 is near.

00:11:04.100 --> 00:11:05.740
 I am going to celebrate

00:11:05.740 --> 00:11:06.579
 the Passover

00:11:06.579 --> 00:11:07.919
 with my disciples

00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:08.779
 at your house.

00:11:09.379 --> 00:11:10.960
 So the disciples did

00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:12.639
 as Jesus had directed them

00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:14.139
 and prepared

00:11:14.139 --> 00:11:15.659
 the Passover.

00:11:15.659 --> 00:11:17.519
 Now,

00:11:17.579 --> 00:11:18.159
 as we read

00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:19.240
 just a moment ago

00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:20.299
 in Exodus,

00:11:21.419 --> 00:11:22.120
 the Passover

00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:23.879
 was a special

00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:24.939
 annual meal

00:11:24.939 --> 00:11:26.299
 to remember

00:11:26.299 --> 00:11:27.100
 the rescue

00:11:27.100 --> 00:11:28.179
 of Israel

00:11:28.179 --> 00:11:29.699
 from their slavery

00:11:29.699 --> 00:11:30.659
 under Pharaoh

00:11:30.659 --> 00:11:31.579
 in Egypt.

00:11:32.459 --> 00:11:33.639
 And because Pharaoh

00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:34.799
 would not release

00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:35.439
 Israel,

00:11:35.620 --> 00:11:36.279
 God's people,

00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:37.159
 from their slavery,

00:11:37.620 --> 00:11:38.379
 God had promised

00:11:38.379 --> 00:11:39.079
 a plague.

00:11:39.579 --> 00:11:40.699
 He was going to send

00:11:40.699 --> 00:11:42.000
 the angel of death

00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:44.299
 who would pass over

00:11:44.299 --> 00:11:46.039
 every home

00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:47.099
 in Egypt.

00:11:48.439 --> 00:11:49.939
 And the eldest son

00:11:49.939 --> 00:11:51.099
 in each home,

00:11:52.199 --> 00:11:52.799
 God said,

00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:53.539
 would die

00:11:53.539 --> 00:11:54.919
 as a sign

00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:56.039
 of his judgment

00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:57.500
 and his justice

00:11:57.500 --> 00:11:58.799
 because of their sin,

00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:00.279
 because they would not

00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:01.319
 let the people go.

00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:06.740
 But it wasn't just Egypt.

00:12:06.979 --> 00:12:08.159
 We have to ask the question,

00:12:08.359 --> 00:12:09.479
 how would Israel,

00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:10.339
 God's people,

00:12:10.500 --> 00:12:11.479
 also survive

00:12:11.479 --> 00:12:12.559
 the angel of death?

00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:13.259
 Because, well,

00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:14.459
 let's face it,

00:12:14.500 --> 00:12:15.579
 they were as messed up

00:12:15.579 --> 00:12:16.399
 as everybody else.

00:12:16.500 --> 00:12:17.339
 They weren't pure

00:12:17.339 --> 00:12:18.019
 and perfect.

00:12:18.899 --> 00:12:20.399
 So as this angel of death

00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:21.359
 was going to pass over,

00:12:21.599 --> 00:12:22.619
 how would they survive?

00:12:24.079 --> 00:12:24.539
 Well,

00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:25.919
 they were told by God

00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:27.379
 to take a lamb,

00:12:28.500 --> 00:12:29.899
 to kill this lamb,

00:12:30.599 --> 00:12:31.659
 to eat it.

00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:33.199
 And then they were

00:12:33.199 --> 00:12:34.500
 to take some of the blood

00:12:34.500 --> 00:12:35.099
 from the lamb

00:12:35.099 --> 00:12:36.579
 and they were to put it

00:12:36.579 --> 00:12:37.739
 on the door frames

00:12:37.739 --> 00:12:39.099
 of the house.

00:12:39.100 --> 00:12:42.100
 And through this very act,

00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:43.860
 the people were learning

00:12:43.860 --> 00:12:46.200
 that this little lamb

00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:48.180
 would die

00:12:48.180 --> 00:12:49.899
 instead of them.

00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:52.320
 The lamb that they would

00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:53.139
 eat together

00:12:53.139 --> 00:12:54.200
 as a family

00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:56.519
 was being sacrificed

00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:58.340
 in their place.

00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:01.540
 So when the angel of death

00:13:01.540 --> 00:13:02.940
 passed over

00:13:02.940 --> 00:13:04.480
 and when he saw

00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:06.379
 the blood on the door,

00:13:06.379 --> 00:13:08.740
 he would pass over

00:13:08.740 --> 00:13:09.439
 that house

00:13:09.439 --> 00:13:12.120
 and all inside

00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:13.539
 were kept safe

00:13:13.539 --> 00:13:15.659
 from God's judgment

00:13:15.659 --> 00:13:17.159
 and justice.

00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:19.299
 And as we read

00:13:19.299 --> 00:13:19.799
 in Exodus,

00:13:20.299 --> 00:13:22.000
 every year following,

00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:23.720
 they were to remember

00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:24.659
 this rescue

00:13:24.659 --> 00:13:26.899
 with a Passover meal.

00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:28.799
 Every year,

00:13:29.019 --> 00:13:30.019
 they were to remember

00:13:30.019 --> 00:13:31.480
 God's rescue

00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:32.299
 and liberation

00:13:32.299 --> 00:13:33.159
 of his people.

00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:35.919
 That was until Jesus

00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:37.299
 gave it a new meaning

00:13:37.299 --> 00:13:39.620
 and a new interpretation.

00:13:41.379 --> 00:13:42.600
 Because as Jesus

00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:44.759
 celebrated that Passover meal

00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:45.899
 with his disciples,

00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:48.079
 on that occasion,

00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:49.319
 that very night,

00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:52.339
 something very significant

00:13:52.339 --> 00:13:52.860
 happened.

00:13:54.079 --> 00:13:55.279
 Look at verse 24

00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:56.459
 of Corinthians 11.

00:13:58.459 --> 00:14:01.120
 Jesus took some bread.

00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:05.100
 And when he had

00:14:05.100 --> 00:14:06.399
 broken it,

00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:07.399
 when he had

00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:08.820
 torn that bread

00:14:08.820 --> 00:14:09.740
 apart,

00:14:11.060 --> 00:14:12.659
 he gave it to them

00:14:12.659 --> 00:14:13.200
 and said,

00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:16.159
 this is my body

00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.980
 broken for you.

00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:20.460
 This is for you.

00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:23.940
 And then he took some wine

00:14:23.940 --> 00:14:24.799
 and he poured it

00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:25.639
 into a cup

00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:29.399
 and he said,

00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:31.519
 this is my blood.

00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:33.919
 It's for you.

00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:37.279
 So here we have

00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:38.460
 a bread,

00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:39.699
 a torn body.

00:14:40.259 --> 00:14:41.720
 We have this wine

00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:44.019
 representing spilt blood.

00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:46.240
 Jesus is obviously

00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:46.980
 talking about

00:14:46.980 --> 00:14:47.559
 a terrible

00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:49.259
 and a violent death.

00:14:49.659 --> 00:14:50.700
 Except Jesus

00:14:50.700 --> 00:14:51.899
 is no longer

00:14:51.899 --> 00:14:52.659
 talking about

00:14:52.659 --> 00:14:53.259
 what happened

00:14:53.259 --> 00:14:54.179
 to the lamb

00:14:54.179 --> 00:14:56.819
 in the Passover meal.

00:14:57.519 --> 00:14:58.459
 Jesus is talking

00:14:58.459 --> 00:14:59.459
 about himself.

00:15:03.099 --> 00:15:03.879
 You see,

00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:05.079
 in this text here

00:15:05.079 --> 00:15:06.239
 in Corinthians 11,

00:15:06.479 --> 00:15:07.519
 there's no mention

00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:08.139
 of a lamb.

00:15:09.099 --> 00:15:10.159
 There's no lamb here.

00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:11.439
 Why?

00:15:12.979 --> 00:15:14.059
 Because Jesus

00:15:14.059 --> 00:15:15.879
 is the true lamb.

00:15:16.739 --> 00:15:17.620
 What happened

00:15:17.620 --> 00:15:18.899
 in the Passover meal

00:15:18.899 --> 00:15:19.919
 was only a sign

00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:20.479
 of something

00:15:20.479 --> 00:15:21.539
 far greater.

00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:22.219
 The lambs

00:15:22.220 --> 00:15:23.040
 that were broken,

00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:24.460
 that were torn.

00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:25.899
 The blood

00:15:25.899 --> 00:15:26.879
 that was spilt

00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:27.620
 and that was put

00:15:27.620 --> 00:15:29.019
 across the door frames

00:15:29.019 --> 00:15:30.600
 could never

00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:31.820
 deal with sin

00:15:31.820 --> 00:15:32.580
 and deal with

00:15:32.580 --> 00:15:33.379
 God's judgment

00:15:33.379 --> 00:15:34.200
 and justice.

00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:35.879
 They pointed forward

00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:36.940
 to the greater need

00:15:36.940 --> 00:15:37.639
 for a bigger

00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:39.180
 and a greater sacrifice,

00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:40.220
 a perfect one

00:15:40.220 --> 00:15:41.720
 and a complete one.

00:15:42.940 --> 00:15:43.920
 So as Jesus

00:15:43.920 --> 00:15:45.320
 sat with his disciples

00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:46.180
 to celebrate

00:15:46.180 --> 00:15:46.860
 this meal,

00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:48.180
 he was talking

00:15:48.180 --> 00:15:49.080
 about his death

00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:49.639
 and the cross

00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:50.379
 which was just

00:15:50.379 --> 00:15:51.259
 about to happen.

00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:53.299
 His body

00:15:53.299 --> 00:15:55.299
 broken for you.

00:15:56.059 --> 00:15:56.759
 His blood

00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:58.860
 spilt for you.

00:15:59.700 --> 00:16:00.559
 Jesus was saying

00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:01.539
 to his disciples,

00:16:02.059 --> 00:16:03.000
 I have come

00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:04.919
 to die for you.

00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:06.299
 I have become

00:16:06.299 --> 00:16:07.340
 the sacrifice

00:16:07.340 --> 00:16:08.340
 for you.

00:16:08.580 --> 00:16:09.439
 I am the lamb,

00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:10.720
 the lamb that was cut

00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:12.200
 and torn up

00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:12.960
 and eaten.

00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:14.519
 I am that lamb

00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:15.539
 who's come to deal

00:16:15.539 --> 00:16:16.340
 with the judgment

00:16:16.340 --> 00:16:17.580
 and the justice

00:16:17.580 --> 00:16:18.180
 of God

00:16:18.180 --> 00:16:19.440
 so that you

00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:21.620
 can be kept safe.

00:16:23.940 --> 00:16:24.940
 So first,

00:16:25.060 --> 00:16:25.960
 as we remember

00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:27.500
 or come to this

00:16:27.500 --> 00:16:28.160
 simple meal,

00:16:28.259 --> 00:16:29.080
 it's a simple

00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:29.860
 remembrance

00:16:29.860 --> 00:16:31.900
 of God's

00:16:31.900 --> 00:16:33.020
 amazing grace

00:16:33.020 --> 00:16:33.920
 demonstrated

00:16:33.920 --> 00:16:35.759
 as Christ died

00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:37.139
 on the cross.

00:16:38.540 --> 00:16:39.500
 And second,

00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:40.960
 we not only remember

00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:42.340
 but we participate

00:16:42.340 --> 00:16:44.460
 in God's grace.

00:16:44.800 --> 00:16:45.540
 We're not only

00:16:45.539 --> 00:16:46.299
 to remember

00:16:46.299 --> 00:16:47.039
 this meal,

00:16:47.319 --> 00:16:48.219
 we are to get

00:16:48.219 --> 00:16:49.599
 involved in it.

00:16:50.459 --> 00:16:51.360
 Look at the words.

00:16:51.459 --> 00:16:51.799
 He says,

00:16:51.980 --> 00:16:52.679
 do this,

00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:53.860
 take this,

00:16:54.199 --> 00:16:55.159
 eat this bread,

00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:56.459
 drink this wine.

00:16:57.839 --> 00:16:58.799
 Flick back to

00:16:58.799 --> 00:16:59.579
 chapter 10,

00:16:59.699 --> 00:17:00.500
 verse 16.

00:17:00.500 --> 00:17:09.619
 chapter 10,

00:17:09.700 --> 00:17:10.339
 verse 16.

00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:10.799
 He says,

00:17:11.259 --> 00:17:12.400
 is not the cup

00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:13.319
 of thanksgiving

00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:14.460
 for which we give

00:17:14.460 --> 00:17:16.359
 thanks a participation

00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:18.019
 in the blood

00:17:18.019 --> 00:17:18.680
 of Christ?

00:17:19.779 --> 00:17:21.220
 And is not the bread

00:17:21.220 --> 00:17:21.980
 that we break

00:17:21.980 --> 00:17:22.880
 a participation

00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:23.980
 in the body

00:17:23.980 --> 00:17:24.619
 of Christ?

00:17:25.740 --> 00:17:26.339
 You see,

00:17:26.420 --> 00:17:26.900
 if we are to

00:17:26.900 --> 00:17:27.759
 experience

00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:28.839
 God's grace,

00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:30.699
 if it's going

00:17:30.699 --> 00:17:31.740
 to change us

00:17:31.740 --> 00:17:32.959
 and transform us

00:17:32.959 --> 00:17:34.179
 from the inside out,

00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:35.419
 we've got to

00:17:35.419 --> 00:17:36.939
 participate in this

00:17:36.939 --> 00:17:37.179
 meal.

00:17:37.399 --> 00:17:38.240
 We've got to be

00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:39.439
 involved in it.

00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:41.839
 Now,

00:17:41.899 --> 00:17:42.500
 there's two very

00:17:42.500 --> 00:17:43.439
 different traditions

00:17:43.439 --> 00:17:44.619
 when it comes to

00:17:44.619 --> 00:17:45.879
 participating in

00:17:45.879 --> 00:17:47.199
 this grace meal.

00:17:48.639 --> 00:17:49.439
 And I'm not

00:17:49.439 --> 00:17:50.159
 wanting to

00:17:50.159 --> 00:17:51.639
 pinpoint or

00:17:51.639 --> 00:17:52.500
 direct things

00:17:52.500 --> 00:17:53.220
 in any particular

00:17:53.220 --> 00:17:53.759
 way because

00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:54.399
 both of what

00:17:54.399 --> 00:17:54.959
 I'm going to say,

00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:55.379
 both,

00:17:55.659 --> 00:17:56.539
 I don't think,

00:17:56.619 --> 00:17:57.259
 get it right.

00:17:57.259 --> 00:17:58.420
 So hear me out.

00:17:58.740 --> 00:17:59.379
 First of all,

00:17:59.420 --> 00:18:00.559
 the Catholic teaching

00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:02.220
 takes the literal

00:18:02.220 --> 00:18:02.660
 view.

00:18:03.500 --> 00:18:04.640
 It says that

00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:05.539
 the bread and

00:18:05.539 --> 00:18:07.700
 wine actually

00:18:07.700 --> 00:18:09.460
 become the body

00:18:09.460 --> 00:18:10.279
 and the blood

00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:11.420
 of Jesus.

00:18:12.140 --> 00:18:13.039
 So when you

00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:13.920
 eat the bread

00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:14.480
 and when you

00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:15.619
 drink the wine,

00:18:16.379 --> 00:18:17.759
 you automatically

00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:19.299
 receive the

00:18:19.299 --> 00:18:20.339
 saving grace

00:18:20.339 --> 00:18:21.539
 of God.

00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:23.240
 In other words,

00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:24.119
 you can only

00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:25.379
 get eternal life,

00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:26.480
 you can only

00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:27.400
 have forgiveness

00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:28.039
 of sins

00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:28.860
 when you

00:18:28.860 --> 00:18:29.599
 eat and

00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:30.059
 drink.

00:18:32.620 --> 00:18:33.180
 Theologians

00:18:33.180 --> 00:18:33.640
 call it

00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:35.059
 transubstantiation.

00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:36.940
 Now,

00:18:36.980 --> 00:18:37.740
 the problem

00:18:37.740 --> 00:18:38.740
 with looking

00:18:38.740 --> 00:18:39.319
 at it like

00:18:39.319 --> 00:18:40.000
 that is that

00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:40.860
 the participation

00:18:40.860 --> 00:18:41.980
 is just simply

00:18:41.980 --> 00:18:42.680
 physical.

00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:44.160
 It doesn't

00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:44.799
 require you

00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:45.599
 to engage

00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:46.440
 the heart.

00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:46.920
 It's just

00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:47.819
 a physical act,

00:18:48.120 --> 00:18:48.819
 something you

00:18:48.819 --> 00:18:49.360
 do that you

00:18:49.360 --> 00:18:50.079
 don't necessarily

00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:51.200
 have to understand

00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:52.640
 or enter into

00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:53.319
 or be involved

00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:54.039
 and it's

00:18:54.039 --> 00:18:54.379
 just there

00:18:54.379 --> 00:18:54.899
 to cover

00:18:54.899 --> 00:18:55.519
 over sin

00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:56.059
 until the

00:18:56.059 --> 00:18:56.559
 next time.

00:18:56.700 --> 00:18:56.859
 So,

00:18:57.439 --> 00:18:57.879
 sin this

00:18:57.879 --> 00:18:58.159
 week,

00:18:58.500 --> 00:18:59.179
 take something,

00:18:59.399 --> 00:18:59.919
 cover over,

00:19:00.099 --> 00:19:00.639
 and so on

00:19:00.639 --> 00:19:01.399
 and so on.

00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:02.480
 There's no

00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:03.099
 assurance.

00:19:04.779 --> 00:19:05.439
 In fact,

00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:06.099
 it goes against

00:19:06.099 --> 00:19:07.059
 everything Jesus

00:19:07.059 --> 00:19:08.240
 teaches because

00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:09.079
 he is saying

00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:09.659
 that it's not

00:19:09.659 --> 00:19:10.639
 what you do,

00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:11.439
 not even what

00:19:11.439 --> 00:19:12.019
 you eat and

00:19:12.019 --> 00:19:12.519
 drink,

00:19:13.019 --> 00:19:13.859
 that brings

00:19:13.859 --> 00:19:14.419
 salvation.

00:19:14.619 --> 00:19:15.399
 It's faith

00:19:15.399 --> 00:19:16.460
 in what Christ

00:19:16.460 --> 00:19:17.119
 has done

00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:18.139
 and completed

00:19:18.139 --> 00:19:19.200
 on your behalf.

00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:20.720
 So,

00:19:20.779 --> 00:19:21.160
 that's the

00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:21.960
 literal view.

00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:24.680
 Protestant churches

00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:25.620
 talk about

00:19:25.620 --> 00:19:26.720
 the symbol

00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:27.140
 view.

00:19:28.580 --> 00:19:28.860
 So,

00:19:28.940 --> 00:19:29.360
 as Jesus

00:19:29.360 --> 00:19:30.180
 ate the meal

00:19:30.180 --> 00:19:30.580
 with his

00:19:30.580 --> 00:19:31.100
 disciples,

00:19:31.740 --> 00:19:32.319
 he didn't

00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:32.960
 mean that

00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:33.580
 the bread

00:19:33.580 --> 00:19:34.039
 and wine

00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:35.720
 actually became

00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:36.779
 his body

00:19:36.779 --> 00:19:37.259
 and blood.

00:19:37.380 --> 00:19:37.519
 No,

00:19:37.539 --> 00:19:38.180
 it was a

00:19:38.180 --> 00:19:38.680
 symbol,

00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:40.299
 a sign

00:19:40.299 --> 00:19:40.759
 of his

00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:41.220
 death

00:19:41.220 --> 00:19:42.120
 to come.

00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:44.660
 The bread

00:19:44.660 --> 00:19:45.380
 and the

00:19:45.380 --> 00:19:45.759
 wine

00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:46.519
 represent

00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:47.039
 Jesus.

00:19:47.180 --> 00:19:47.519
 We look

00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:48.500
 beyond them

00:19:48.500 --> 00:19:49.819
 to what

00:19:49.819 --> 00:19:50.420
 Jesus had

00:19:50.420 --> 00:19:50.720
 done.

00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:51.980
 So,

00:19:52.059 --> 00:19:52.420
 when we

00:19:52.420 --> 00:19:52.859
 see the

00:19:52.859 --> 00:19:53.440
 bread being

00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:53.859
 broken,

00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:54.359
 when the

00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:54.900
 wine is

00:19:54.900 --> 00:19:55.619
 being poured,

00:19:56.279 --> 00:19:56.839
 it's a

00:19:56.839 --> 00:19:57.839
 visual picture

00:19:57.839 --> 00:19:58.819
 of the

00:19:58.819 --> 00:19:59.160
 gospel,

00:19:59.279 --> 00:19:59.720
 the good

00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:00.299
 news that

00:20:00.299 --> 00:20:01.000
 Christ died

00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:01.660
 for us.

00:20:02.619 --> 00:20:02.960
 Now,

00:20:03.019 --> 00:20:03.319
 I think

00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:03.599
 that's

00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:04.180
 beginning to

00:20:04.180 --> 00:20:04.619
 get to

00:20:04.619 --> 00:20:05.579
 a right

00:20:05.579 --> 00:20:06.240
 interpretation.

00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:07.019
 We do

00:20:07.019 --> 00:20:07.619
 treat the

00:20:07.619 --> 00:20:08.000
 bread and

00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:08.299
 the wine

00:20:08.299 --> 00:20:09.380
 as symbols.

00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:10.859
 But there's

00:20:10.859 --> 00:20:11.359
 also a

00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:12.000
 problem with

00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:12.539
 that view.

00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:14.079
 The

00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:14.759
 emphasis

00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:15.420
 that the

00:20:15.420 --> 00:20:15.839
 bread and

00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:16.220
 the wine

00:20:16.220 --> 00:20:16.640
 are just

00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:17.319
 symbols

00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:18.099
 and that

00:20:18.099 --> 00:20:18.480
 they can

00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:18.759
 never

00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:19.459
 change

00:20:19.459 --> 00:20:19.819
 you

00:20:19.819 --> 00:20:21.279
 seems to

00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:21.859
 go against

00:20:21.859 --> 00:20:22.579
 what Jesus

00:20:22.579 --> 00:20:23.539
 is teaching.

00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:25.339
 In other

00:20:25.339 --> 00:20:25.539
 words,

00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:26.119
 we can go

00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:26.819
 so far to

00:20:26.819 --> 00:20:27.219
 try and

00:20:27.219 --> 00:20:28.219
 correct a

00:20:28.219 --> 00:20:29.039
 literal view

00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:30.399
 that we

00:20:30.399 --> 00:20:31.399
 lose something

00:20:31.399 --> 00:20:32.299
 of its

00:20:32.299 --> 00:20:33.579
 actual effect

00:20:33.579 --> 00:20:34.539
 and our

00:20:34.539 --> 00:20:35.159
 involvement

00:20:35.159 --> 00:20:35.679
 and our

00:20:35.679 --> 00:20:36.679
 participation.

00:20:39.480 --> 00:20:40.159
 So,

00:20:40.259 --> 00:20:41.000
 how do we

00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:41.639
 participate

00:20:41.639 --> 00:20:42.559
 in this

00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:43.319
 grace meal?

00:20:43.639 --> 00:20:44.539
 How can

00:20:44.539 --> 00:20:44.919
 we

00:20:44.919 --> 00:20:46.279
 experience

00:20:46.279 --> 00:20:47.339
 God's

00:20:47.339 --> 00:20:47.740
 grace?

00:20:48.879 --> 00:20:49.220
 Well,

00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:49.559
 look at

00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:49.920
 those

00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:50.720
 words in

00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:51.379
 chapter 10

00:20:51.379 --> 00:20:52.059
 verse 16

00:20:52.059 --> 00:20:52.480
 again.

00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:54.119
 Is not

00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:54.559
 the cup

00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:54.740
 of

00:20:54.740 --> 00:20:55.379
 thanksgiving

00:20:55.379 --> 00:20:55.920
 for which

00:20:55.920 --> 00:20:56.319
 we give

00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:56.720
 thanks

00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:57.279
 a

00:20:57.279 --> 00:20:58.099
 participation

00:20:58.099 --> 00:20:58.980
 in the

00:20:58.980 --> 00:20:59.379
 blood of

00:20:59.379 --> 00:20:59.819
 Christ?

00:21:00.779 --> 00:21:01.519
 And is

00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:01.980
 not the

00:21:01.980 --> 00:21:02.460
 bread that

00:21:02.460 --> 00:21:03.059
 we break

00:21:03.059 --> 00:21:03.359
 a

00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:04.119
 participation

00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:05.039
 in the

00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:05.579
 body of

00:21:05.579 --> 00:21:06.000
 Christ?

00:21:07.019 --> 00:21:07.539
 You see,

00:21:07.619 --> 00:21:07.960
 as we

00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:08.420
 eat the

00:21:08.420 --> 00:21:08.839
 bread,

00:21:09.379 --> 00:21:10.119
 as we

00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:10.660
 drink the

00:21:10.660 --> 00:21:11.039
 wine,

00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:13.680
 by faith,

00:21:14.500 --> 00:21:14.920
 we are

00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:16.119
 participating

00:21:16.119 --> 00:21:17.720
 in Jesus'

00:21:17.980 --> 00:21:18.659
 sacrifice

00:21:18.659 --> 00:21:20.159
 for us.

00:21:20.859 --> 00:21:21.579
 The very

00:21:21.579 --> 00:21:22.779
 physical act

00:21:22.779 --> 00:21:23.779
 of taking

00:21:23.779 --> 00:21:24.720
 something in

00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:25.220
 your hand,

00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:26.159
 of holding

00:21:26.159 --> 00:21:26.720
 the bread

00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:27.059
 in your

00:21:27.059 --> 00:21:27.559
 hand,

00:21:28.460 --> 00:21:29.619
 of drinking

00:21:29.619 --> 00:21:30.740
 the wine,

00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:32.119
 reflects our

00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:32.980
 absolute

00:21:32.980 --> 00:21:33.779
 dependence

00:21:33.779 --> 00:21:35.319
 upon the

00:21:35.319 --> 00:21:36.180
 sacrifice of

00:21:36.180 --> 00:21:36.500
 Jesus.

00:21:37.099 --> 00:21:38.139
 As I eat

00:21:38.139 --> 00:21:38.680
 the bread,

00:21:38.879 --> 00:21:39.259
 I am

00:21:39.259 --> 00:21:39.680
 saying,

00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:41.519
 Jesus had

00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:41.940
 to be

00:21:41.940 --> 00:21:42.620
 broken for

00:21:42.620 --> 00:21:42.860
 me.

00:21:43.820 --> 00:21:44.420
 As I

00:21:44.420 --> 00:21:44.940
 drink the

00:21:44.940 --> 00:21:45.180
 wine,

00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:45.500
 I am

00:21:45.500 --> 00:21:45.779
 saying,

00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:47.019
 Jesus had

00:21:47.019 --> 00:21:47.460
 to be

00:21:47.460 --> 00:21:48.080
 slain for

00:21:48.080 --> 00:21:48.360
 me.

00:21:48.860 --> 00:21:49.279
 That if

00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:49.759
 he didn't

00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:50.160
 do it,

00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:50.480
 I'm

00:21:50.480 --> 00:21:51.000
 lost,

00:21:51.340 --> 00:21:51.680
 I'm

00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:52.039
 nothing,

00:21:52.420 --> 00:21:53.480
 I need

00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:54.000
 God's

00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:54.299
 grace,

00:21:54.580 --> 00:21:54.920
 and I

00:21:54.920 --> 00:21:55.600
 need to

00:21:55.600 --> 00:21:55.980
 take it

00:21:55.980 --> 00:21:56.480
 into my

00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:56.900
 life.

00:21:59.920 --> 00:22:00.720
 But more

00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:01.039
 than that,

00:22:01.100 --> 00:22:01.519
 we are to

00:22:01.519 --> 00:22:02.660
 take the

00:22:02.660 --> 00:22:03.180
 grace of

00:22:03.180 --> 00:22:04.019
 God by

00:22:04.019 --> 00:22:04.680
 faith,

00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:06.080
 so that

00:22:06.080 --> 00:22:06.640
 it becomes

00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:07.340
 part of

00:22:07.340 --> 00:22:07.740
 us.

00:22:08.340 --> 00:22:08.700
 And I

00:22:08.700 --> 00:22:09.180
 think this

00:22:09.180 --> 00:22:09.500
 is what

00:22:09.500 --> 00:22:10.220
 Jesus wants

00:22:10.220 --> 00:22:10.559
 us to

00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:11.039
 grasp when

00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:11.400
 he says,

00:22:11.859 --> 00:22:12.500
 take and

00:22:12.500 --> 00:22:12.880
 eat,

00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:13.559
 this is

00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:14.220
 my body,

00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:15.619
 this is

00:22:15.619 --> 00:22:16.240
 my blood,

00:22:16.619 --> 00:22:17.279
 drink from

00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:17.460
 it,

00:22:17.660 --> 00:22:18.099
 all of

00:22:18.099 --> 00:22:18.380
 you.

00:22:21.420 --> 00:22:21.980
 John

00:22:21.980 --> 00:22:22.480
 Stott,

00:22:23.579 --> 00:22:24.519
 an Anglican

00:22:24.519 --> 00:22:24.880
 minister,

00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:25.480
 he's now

00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:26.160
 in heaven,

00:22:27.259 --> 00:22:27.779
 he wrote

00:22:27.779 --> 00:22:28.240
 and he put

00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:28.599
 it like

00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:29.079
 this,

00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:30.880
 our faith

00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:32.480
 looks beyond

00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:33.279
 the symbols

00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:33.839
 to the

00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:34.380
 reality

00:22:34.380 --> 00:22:35.319
 they

00:22:35.319 --> 00:22:36.180
 represent.

00:22:36.180 --> 00:22:38.240
 bread and

00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:38.680
 even as

00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:39.320
 we take

00:22:39.320 --> 00:22:39.900
 the bread

00:22:39.900 --> 00:22:40.519
 and wine

00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:41.860
 and feed

00:22:41.860 --> 00:22:42.320
 on them

00:22:42.320 --> 00:22:42.860
 in our

00:22:42.860 --> 00:22:43.620
 mouths by

00:22:43.620 --> 00:22:44.320
 eating and

00:22:44.320 --> 00:22:44.720
 drinking,

00:22:45.660 --> 00:22:46.320
 so we

00:22:46.320 --> 00:22:47.080
 feed on

00:22:47.080 --> 00:22:47.720
 Christ

00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:48.660
 crucified

00:22:48.660 --> 00:22:49.720
 in our

00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:50.279
 hearts

00:22:50.279 --> 00:22:52.060
 by faith.

00:22:52.059 --> 00:22:55.659
 we must

00:22:55.659 --> 00:22:57.000
 eat and

00:22:57.000 --> 00:22:57.480
 drink,

00:22:57.619 --> 00:22:58.059
 we must

00:22:58.059 --> 00:22:58.899
 as it

00:22:58.899 --> 00:22:59.059
 were

00:22:59.059 --> 00:22:59.819
 take in

00:22:59.819 --> 00:23:00.480
 by faith

00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:01.019
 the grace

00:23:01.019 --> 00:23:01.460
 of God,

00:23:01.539 --> 00:23:01.899
 we must

00:23:01.899 --> 00:23:02.799
 realise that

00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:03.619
 we are so

00:23:03.619 --> 00:23:04.899
 needy people

00:23:04.899 --> 00:23:05.500
 that without

00:23:05.500 --> 00:23:06.399
 God's grace

00:23:06.399 --> 00:23:06.740
 we are

00:23:06.740 --> 00:23:07.059
 nothing.

00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:08.819
 And so our

00:23:08.819 --> 00:23:09.539
 participation

00:23:09.539 --> 00:23:10.379
 isn't just

00:23:10.379 --> 00:23:10.740
 thinking,

00:23:11.139 --> 00:23:11.700
 oh well these

00:23:11.700 --> 00:23:12.039
 are just

00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:12.639
 symbols and

00:23:12.639 --> 00:23:12.980
 they're never

00:23:12.980 --> 00:23:13.279
 going to

00:23:13.279 --> 00:23:13.859
 change me

00:23:13.859 --> 00:23:14.200
 or do

00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:14.740
 anything to

00:23:14.740 --> 00:23:15.079
 me and

00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:15.919
 you know

00:23:15.919 --> 00:23:17.220
 it's just

00:23:17.220 --> 00:23:17.799
 as much as

00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:18.319
 reading the

00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:18.939
 Bible and

00:23:18.939 --> 00:23:19.639
 going to

00:23:19.639 --> 00:23:20.139
 church is

00:23:20.139 --> 00:23:20.579
 never going

00:23:20.579 --> 00:23:20.879
 to save

00:23:20.879 --> 00:23:21.240
 me, so

00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:21.759
 doing this

00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:22.159
 is never

00:23:22.159 --> 00:23:22.460
 going to

00:23:22.460 --> 00:23:22.819
 save me.

00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:23.720
 Yeah that's

00:23:23.720 --> 00:23:24.819
 right, but

00:23:24.819 --> 00:23:27.000
 we are to

00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:27.939
 engage, we

00:23:27.939 --> 00:23:28.379
 are to be

00:23:28.379 --> 00:23:30.259
 involved and

00:23:30.259 --> 00:23:31.059
 see that in

00:23:31.059 --> 00:23:31.619
 eating and

00:23:31.619 --> 00:23:32.259
 drinking we

00:23:32.259 --> 00:23:32.919
 are by

00:23:32.919 --> 00:23:33.740
 faith taking

00:23:33.740 --> 00:23:34.639
 in God's

00:23:34.639 --> 00:23:35.240
 grace to

00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:36.379
 transform us

00:23:36.379 --> 00:23:37.119
 and to

00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:38.099
 change us.

00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:40.619
 So we

00:23:40.619 --> 00:23:41.720
 must participate

00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:43.399
 in God's

00:23:43.399 --> 00:23:43.799
 grace.

00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:46.740
 Third, we

00:23:46.740 --> 00:23:47.559
 must practice

00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:48.419
 God's grace.

00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:50.159
 This grace

00:23:50.159 --> 00:23:50.679
 meal is

00:23:50.679 --> 00:23:51.240
 something we

00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:51.759
 don't just

00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:52.539
 do alone,

00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:53.819
 we participate

00:23:53.819 --> 00:23:54.819
 together, that's

00:23:54.819 --> 00:23:55.399
 why we're all

00:23:55.399 --> 00:23:55.740
 here.

00:23:56.240 --> 00:23:56.839
 We don't just

00:23:56.839 --> 00:23:57.379
 have our little

00:23:57.379 --> 00:23:58.379
 individual meals

00:23:58.379 --> 00:23:58.879
 at home.

00:24:00.099 --> 00:24:00.779
 But you

00:24:00.779 --> 00:24:01.119
 know what,

00:24:01.159 --> 00:24:01.599
 there was a

00:24:01.599 --> 00:24:02.399
 problem whenever

00:24:02.399 --> 00:24:03.399
 this church in

00:24:03.399 --> 00:24:04.139
 Corinthians were

00:24:04.139 --> 00:24:04.819
 meeting and I

00:24:04.819 --> 00:24:05.519
 don't think it's

00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:06.740
 unlike most

00:24:06.740 --> 00:24:07.319
 churches.

00:24:08.740 --> 00:24:09.379
 Look at

00:24:09.379 --> 00:24:10.240
 verse 18 of

00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:11.059
 chapter 11.

00:24:14.179 --> 00:24:14.939
 He says,

00:24:14.940 --> 00:24:15.460
 in the first

00:24:15.460 --> 00:24:16.220
 place I hear

00:24:16.220 --> 00:24:16.799
 that when you

00:24:16.799 --> 00:24:17.440
 come together

00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:18.100
 as a church

00:24:18.100 --> 00:24:18.860
 there are

00:24:18.860 --> 00:24:19.759
 divisions among

00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:21.000
 you and to

00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:21.779
 some extent I

00:24:21.779 --> 00:24:22.480
 can believe it

00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:23.140
 because, well,

00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:24.620
 you know, we're

00:24:24.620 --> 00:24:25.580
 people and people

00:24:25.580 --> 00:24:26.460
 make mistakes.

00:24:27.360 --> 00:24:27.920
 Verse 20.

00:24:28.600 --> 00:24:29.220
 When you come

00:24:29.220 --> 00:24:30.019
 together it is

00:24:30.019 --> 00:24:30.820
 not the Lord's

00:24:30.820 --> 00:24:31.600
 supper you eat.

00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:33.660
 For as you

00:24:33.660 --> 00:24:34.660
 eat each of you

00:24:34.660 --> 00:24:35.680
 goes ahead without

00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:36.860
 waiting for anybody

00:24:36.860 --> 00:24:37.380
 else.

00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:38.920
 One remains

00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:40.259
 hungry and

00:24:40.259 --> 00:24:40.799
 another one

00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:41.539
 gets drunk.

00:24:41.539 --> 00:24:43.740
 pretty mad,

00:24:43.859 --> 00:24:43.960
 eh?

00:24:45.099 --> 00:24:45.599
 You see,

00:24:45.659 --> 00:24:46.279
 unlike our

00:24:46.279 --> 00:24:47.480
 church practice,

00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:48.200
 the early

00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:48.859
 church would

00:24:48.859 --> 00:24:49.700
 have met for

00:24:49.700 --> 00:24:50.659
 a meal

00:24:50.659 --> 00:24:51.379
 beforehand.

00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:54.059
 And then they

00:24:54.059 --> 00:24:54.339
 would have

00:24:54.339 --> 00:24:55.019
 shared in the

00:24:55.019 --> 00:24:55.659
 Lord's supper.

00:24:55.779 --> 00:24:56.079
 It was a

00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:56.619
 little bit like

00:24:56.619 --> 00:24:57.339
 a potluck

00:24:57.339 --> 00:24:58.079
 lunch.

00:24:58.500 --> 00:24:58.819
 Everybody

00:24:58.819 --> 00:24:59.519
 brought their

00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:00.019
 own bit of

00:25:00.019 --> 00:25:00.500
 food and,

00:25:00.980 --> 00:25:01.220
 well, they

00:25:01.220 --> 00:25:01.619
 were all meant

00:25:01.619 --> 00:25:02.319
 to share it

00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:03.579
 and be together

00:25:03.579 --> 00:25:03.879
 in it.

00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:04.659
 But what they

00:25:04.659 --> 00:25:05.379
 were doing was

00:25:05.379 --> 00:25:05.859
 they were all

00:25:05.859 --> 00:25:06.299
 doing their

00:25:06.299 --> 00:25:06.839
 own thing.

00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:08.459
 Some were

00:25:08.459 --> 00:25:09.019
 just plain

00:25:09.019 --> 00:25:09.639
 greedy and

00:25:09.639 --> 00:25:09.980
 they had

00:25:09.980 --> 00:25:10.399
 lots of

00:25:10.399 --> 00:25:10.740
 money and

00:25:10.740 --> 00:25:11.259
 had nice

00:25:11.259 --> 00:25:11.740
 food and,

00:25:12.099 --> 00:25:12.359
 well, they

00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:12.699
 could just

00:25:12.699 --> 00:25:13.179
 eat away.

00:25:13.359 --> 00:25:13.659
 And there

00:25:13.659 --> 00:25:14.059
 were poor

00:25:14.059 --> 00:25:14.639
 people there

00:25:14.639 --> 00:25:15.119
 who didn't

00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:15.799
 have money and

00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:16.740
 maybe the

00:25:16.740 --> 00:25:17.480
 only actual

00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:17.980
 meal they

00:25:17.980 --> 00:25:18.240
 were going

00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:18.779
 to have was

00:25:18.779 --> 00:25:19.179
 the bread

00:25:19.179 --> 00:25:19.419
 and the

00:25:19.419 --> 00:25:19.799
 wine that

00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:20.220
 was there

00:25:20.220 --> 00:25:20.539
 for the

00:25:20.539 --> 00:25:20.919
 Lord's

00:25:20.919 --> 00:25:21.159
 supper.

00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:23.179
 And others

00:25:23.179 --> 00:25:23.539
 were just

00:25:23.539 --> 00:25:24.000
 too busy

00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:24.659
 getting drunk

00:25:24.659 --> 00:25:25.019
 on the

00:25:25.019 --> 00:25:25.399
 wine that

00:25:25.399 --> 00:25:26.059
 they bought

00:25:26.059 --> 00:25:27.619
 to notice

00:25:27.619 --> 00:25:28.179
 the needs

00:25:28.179 --> 00:25:28.720
 of anybody

00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:29.039
 else.

00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:29.359
 There was

00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:29.779
 chaos.

00:25:32.159 --> 00:25:32.819
 And Paul

00:25:32.819 --> 00:25:33.599
 was furious.

00:25:33.939 --> 00:25:34.699
 Verse 22.

00:25:36.019 --> 00:25:36.480
 He says,

00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:36.880
 don't you

00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:37.380
 have homes

00:25:37.380 --> 00:25:37.839
 to eat

00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:38.140
 in and

00:25:38.140 --> 00:25:38.680
 drink in?

00:25:39.480 --> 00:25:40.240
 Or do you

00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:41.019
 despise the

00:25:41.019 --> 00:25:41.460
 church of

00:25:41.460 --> 00:25:41.900
 God and

00:25:41.900 --> 00:25:42.799
 humiliate those

00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:43.160
 who have

00:25:43.160 --> 00:25:43.480
 nothing?

00:25:44.120 --> 00:25:44.860
 What shall I

00:25:44.860 --> 00:25:45.519
 say to you?

00:25:46.019 --> 00:25:46.480
 Am I going

00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:47.140
 to praise you

00:25:47.140 --> 00:25:47.640
 for this?

00:25:48.299 --> 00:25:48.900
 Well done,

00:25:48.980 --> 00:25:49.480
 you're behaving

00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:50.000
 very well.

00:25:50.079 --> 00:25:51.140
 Absolutely not.

00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:51.519
 It's a

00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:52.120
 disgrace.

00:25:55.279 --> 00:25:55.799
 Now, I

00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:56.240
 don't think we

00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:56.620
 have to be

00:25:56.620 --> 00:25:57.319
 too hard on

00:25:57.319 --> 00:25:57.839
 these guys.

00:25:57.940 --> 00:25:58.180
 Well, we

00:25:58.180 --> 00:25:58.640
 have to be

00:25:58.640 --> 00:25:59.039
 hard on

00:25:59.039 --> 00:25:59.539
 them because,

00:26:00.180 --> 00:26:00.460
 well, they

00:26:00.460 --> 00:26:00.900
 weren't doing

00:26:00.900 --> 00:26:01.420
 what's right.

00:26:01.500 --> 00:26:01.740
 But I

00:26:01.740 --> 00:26:02.279
 don't think

00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:03.579
 we're any

00:26:03.579 --> 00:26:04.279
 different to

00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:05.039
 some extent.

00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:06.720
 not saying

00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:06.960
 that we're

00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:07.440
 all turning

00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:07.980
 up drunk

00:26:07.980 --> 00:26:08.440
 or anything

00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:08.819
 else like

00:26:08.819 --> 00:26:09.119
 that, but

00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:09.559
 we're all

00:26:09.559 --> 00:26:10.440
 messy people,

00:26:10.579 --> 00:26:10.960
 aren't we?

00:26:12.859 --> 00:26:13.519
 And we

00:26:13.519 --> 00:26:14.460
 fail to

00:26:14.460 --> 00:26:15.759
 understand the

00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:16.639
 workings out

00:26:16.639 --> 00:26:17.339
 of God's

00:26:17.339 --> 00:26:17.720
 grace.

00:26:19.399 --> 00:26:19.960
 And instead

00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:20.539
 of joining

00:26:20.539 --> 00:26:21.779
 together as a

00:26:21.779 --> 00:26:22.619
 family, and

00:26:22.619 --> 00:26:23.539
 he's at these

00:26:23.539 --> 00:26:24.240
 people here,

00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:24.960
 they were all

00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:25.700
 huddling into

00:26:25.700 --> 00:26:26.099
 cliques.

00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:27.019
 The rich were

00:26:27.019 --> 00:26:27.619
 with the rich

00:26:27.619 --> 00:26:28.539
 and the poor

00:26:28.539 --> 00:26:29.460
 with the poor

00:26:29.460 --> 00:26:30.599
 and the insiders

00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:31.839
 were separated

00:26:31.839 --> 00:26:32.319
 from the

00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:33.259
 outsiders, and

00:26:33.259 --> 00:26:34.039
 well, all the

00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:34.799
 good people who

00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:35.199
 read their

00:26:35.199 --> 00:26:35.679
 Bible and

00:26:35.679 --> 00:26:36.019
 went to

00:26:36.019 --> 00:26:36.519
 church and

00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:37.159
 went to

00:26:37.159 --> 00:26:37.679
 prayer meetings,

00:26:37.779 --> 00:26:38.119
 they all

00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:38.720
 huddled together,

00:26:38.819 --> 00:26:39.179
 and then all

00:26:39.179 --> 00:26:39.879
 the bad people

00:26:39.879 --> 00:26:40.240
 who kept

00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:40.959
 messing up and

00:26:40.959 --> 00:26:41.459
 failing, well,

00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:41.839
 they were all

00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:42.419
 over here.

00:26:44.859 --> 00:26:45.819
 It was quite

00:26:45.819 --> 00:26:46.839
 ironic that the

00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:47.500
 meal that was

00:26:47.500 --> 00:26:48.099
 supposed to

00:26:48.099 --> 00:26:49.039
 unite the

00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:49.879
 family of God

00:26:49.879 --> 00:26:50.759
 was becoming

00:26:50.759 --> 00:26:51.359
 a meal of

00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:51.779
 division.

00:26:53.220 --> 00:26:53.659
 And in

00:26:53.659 --> 00:26:54.559
 response, Paul

00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:55.279
 directs them

00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:56.299
 back to the

00:26:56.299 --> 00:26:57.000
 grace meal.

00:26:58.519 --> 00:26:59.279
 We are to

00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:00.299
 remember God's

00:27:00.299 --> 00:27:00.559
 grace.

00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:01.119
 We are to

00:27:01.119 --> 00:27:02.240
 participate in

00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:02.859
 God's grace

00:27:02.859 --> 00:27:04.480
 so that we

00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:06.019
 can practice

00:27:06.019 --> 00:27:07.779
 God's grace

00:27:07.779 --> 00:27:08.879
 to each

00:27:08.879 --> 00:27:09.299
 other.

00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:10.940
 You see, the

00:27:10.940 --> 00:27:12.480
 grace meal is

00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:12.879
 a great

00:27:12.879 --> 00:27:13.700
 leveller, isn't

00:27:13.700 --> 00:27:14.039
 it?

00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:15.619
 It brings us

00:27:15.619 --> 00:27:16.740
 all into line.

00:27:16.839 --> 00:27:17.339
 We all think,

00:27:17.460 --> 00:27:18.019
 well, I'm here

00:27:18.019 --> 00:27:18.419
 and they're

00:27:18.419 --> 00:27:18.700
 there.

00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:19.779
 Well, actually,

00:27:19.899 --> 00:27:20.079
 no.

00:27:20.740 --> 00:27:21.599
 Regardless of

00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:22.859
 our class or

00:27:22.859 --> 00:27:23.539
 our culture,

00:27:23.899 --> 00:27:24.519
 our religious

00:27:24.519 --> 00:27:25.700
 background or

00:27:25.700 --> 00:27:26.480
 our heritage,

00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:27.539
 we are all

00:27:27.539 --> 00:27:28.159
 brought into

00:27:28.159 --> 00:27:29.159
 line equally.

00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:31.460
 The reality

00:27:31.460 --> 00:27:32.319
 is none of

00:27:32.319 --> 00:27:32.919
 us deserve

00:27:32.919 --> 00:27:33.879
 God's grace.

00:27:34.740 --> 00:27:35.500
 We're all in

00:27:35.500 --> 00:27:36.319
 desperate need

00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:36.859
 of God's

00:27:36.859 --> 00:27:37.119
 grace.

00:27:37.460 --> 00:27:37.960
 We're all

00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:39.659
 outsiders, but

00:27:39.659 --> 00:27:40.419
 we have become

00:27:40.419 --> 00:27:41.720
 insiders through

00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:42.519
 the sacrificial

00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:43.700
 death of

00:27:43.700 --> 00:27:44.179
 Christ.

00:27:45.339 --> 00:27:46.319
 So when we

00:27:46.319 --> 00:27:47.039
 gather together,

00:27:47.159 --> 00:27:47.919
 we are reminding

00:27:47.919 --> 00:27:49.240
 ourselves through

00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:50.099
 the grace meal

00:27:50.099 --> 00:27:51.579
 that there's no

00:27:51.579 --> 00:27:52.079
 room for

00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:53.539
 superiority, nobody

00:27:53.539 --> 00:27:54.179
 can think of

00:27:54.179 --> 00:27:55.059
 themselves better,

00:27:55.720 --> 00:27:56.599
 and there's no

00:27:56.599 --> 00:27:57.059
 room for

00:27:57.059 --> 00:27:58.179
 inferiority to

00:27:58.179 --> 00:27:58.779
 think that I'm

00:27:58.779 --> 00:27:59.319
 no good.

00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:01.980
 By remembering

00:28:01.980 --> 00:28:03.019
 and participating

00:28:03.019 --> 00:28:04.160
 in this grace

00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:05.259
 meal, we

00:28:05.259 --> 00:28:06.379
 accept one

00:28:06.379 --> 00:28:07.500
 another, we

00:28:07.500 --> 00:28:08.579
 welcome one

00:28:08.579 --> 00:28:09.759
 another, just

00:28:09.759 --> 00:28:10.559
 as Christ

00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:12.420
 accepted and

00:28:12.420 --> 00:28:13.420
 welcomed us.

00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:16.660
 So third, we

00:28:16.660 --> 00:28:17.579
 are practicing

00:28:17.579 --> 00:28:19.579
 grace as we

00:28:19.579 --> 00:28:20.519
 meet together.

00:28:23.899 --> 00:28:25.119
 Fourth, we're

00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:26.399
 announcing God's

00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:26.800
 grace.

00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:28.620
 Because this

00:28:28.620 --> 00:28:29.780
 grace meal is

00:28:29.780 --> 00:28:30.680
 not just to be

00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:31.580
 kept for

00:28:31.580 --> 00:28:32.220
 ourselves.

00:28:33.280 --> 00:28:34.220
 It is to be

00:28:34.220 --> 00:28:35.080
 announced, to

00:28:35.080 --> 00:28:36.060
 be proclaimed.

00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:37.560
 Look at how

00:28:37.560 --> 00:28:38.120
 this meal

00:28:38.120 --> 00:28:38.840
 finished in

00:28:38.840 --> 00:28:39.680
 this passage,

00:28:39.780 --> 00:28:40.720
 verse 26.

00:28:42.600 --> 00:28:43.420
 For whenever

00:28:43.420 --> 00:28:44.100
 you eat this

00:28:44.100 --> 00:28:44.620
 bread and

00:28:44.620 --> 00:28:45.240
 drink this

00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:45.820
 cup, you

00:28:45.820 --> 00:28:46.820
 proclaim, you

00:28:46.820 --> 00:28:48.140
 announce the

00:28:48.140 --> 00:28:49.140
 Lord's death.

00:28:50.300 --> 00:28:51.160
 You talk about

00:28:51.160 --> 00:28:51.860
 his grace

00:28:51.859 --> 00:28:53.159
 grace until

00:28:53.159 --> 00:28:54.219
 he comes

00:28:54.219 --> 00:28:55.159
 again.

00:28:56.279 --> 00:28:57.279
 At one level,

00:28:57.379 --> 00:28:58.179
 this meal is

00:28:58.179 --> 00:28:58.859
 exclusive.

00:29:00.399 --> 00:29:01.699
 It is for all

00:29:01.699 --> 00:29:02.399
 those who

00:29:02.399 --> 00:29:03.240
 come to

00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:04.500
 Jesus by

00:29:04.500 --> 00:29:05.539
 faith to

00:29:05.539 --> 00:29:06.500
 receive and

00:29:06.500 --> 00:29:07.740
 experience God's

00:29:07.740 --> 00:29:08.139
 grace.

00:29:09.879 --> 00:29:10.759
 But in

00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:11.479
 another way,

00:29:12.199 --> 00:29:13.199
 this meal is

00:29:13.199 --> 00:29:13.699
 open.

00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:15.039
 There's an

00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:16.519
 inclusiveness to

00:29:16.519 --> 00:29:17.099
 this meal.

00:29:17.719 --> 00:29:18.579
 There is this

00:29:18.579 --> 00:29:19.899
 open invitation

00:29:19.900 --> 00:29:21.380
 to all

00:29:21.380 --> 00:29:22.060
 those who

00:29:22.060 --> 00:29:22.900
 see their

00:29:22.900 --> 00:29:23.380
 need of

00:29:23.380 --> 00:29:25.340
 grace to

00:29:25.340 --> 00:29:26.480
 participate in

00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:26.800
 it.

00:29:27.940 --> 00:29:28.740
 The grace

00:29:28.740 --> 00:29:29.380
 that we have

00:29:29.380 --> 00:29:30.220
 received from

00:29:30.220 --> 00:29:31.720
 God is not

00:29:31.720 --> 00:29:32.340
 private.

00:29:33.300 --> 00:29:34.360
 It is to be

00:29:34.360 --> 00:29:34.980
 proclaimed.

00:29:35.220 --> 00:29:35.720
 It's to be

00:29:35.720 --> 00:29:36.259
 announced.

00:29:36.780 --> 00:29:37.660
 Jesus came for

00:29:37.660 --> 00:29:38.660
 sinners and I

00:29:38.660 --> 00:29:39.380
 reckon that we're

00:29:39.380 --> 00:29:40.000
 not the only

00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:40.400
 sinners.

00:29:43.400 --> 00:29:44.259
 As we're

00:29:44.259 --> 00:29:44.960
 reminded in

00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:45.780
 this text in

00:29:45.780 --> 00:29:46.660
 verse 23,

00:29:48.120 --> 00:29:48.700
 that it all

00:29:48.700 --> 00:29:49.420
 happened on the

00:29:49.420 --> 00:29:50.060
 night, Jesus

00:29:50.060 --> 00:29:50.920
 was betrayed.

00:29:52.380 --> 00:29:52.860
 Remember

00:29:52.860 --> 00:29:54.900
 Judas, the

00:29:54.900 --> 00:29:55.500
 one who turned

00:29:55.500 --> 00:29:56.180
 his back on

00:29:56.180 --> 00:29:56.740
 Jesus, the

00:29:56.740 --> 00:29:57.700
 betrayer, the

00:29:57.700 --> 00:29:58.620
 failure, the

00:29:58.620 --> 00:29:59.580
 sinner, was

00:29:59.580 --> 00:30:01.019
 present at

00:30:01.019 --> 00:30:01.779
 that meal.

00:30:03.740 --> 00:30:04.560
 And grace

00:30:04.560 --> 00:30:05.279
 was offered

00:30:05.279 --> 00:30:05.860
 to him.

00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:07.800
 He rejected

00:30:07.800 --> 00:30:09.920
 it, but it

00:30:09.920 --> 00:30:10.440
 was offered.

00:30:12.100 --> 00:30:12.759
 And in the

00:30:12.759 --> 00:30:13.640
 same way, we

00:30:13.640 --> 00:30:14.700
 are to announce

00:30:14.700 --> 00:30:16.279
 God's grace to

00:30:16.279 --> 00:30:18.119
 all who

00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:19.220
 will come in

00:30:19.220 --> 00:30:21.519
 faith to

00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:22.399
 receive and

00:30:22.399 --> 00:30:24.599
 experience God's

00:30:24.599 --> 00:30:25.500
 amazing grace.

00:30:27.660 --> 00:30:29.099
 So four things

00:30:29.099 --> 00:30:30.500
 that help us to

00:30:30.500 --> 00:30:31.299
 grasp and

00:30:31.299 --> 00:30:32.519
 understand a

00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:33.200
 little bit more

00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:34.139
 what we're going

00:30:34.139 --> 00:30:35.039
 to celebrate, and

00:30:35.039 --> 00:30:35.799
 we're going to do

00:30:35.799 --> 00:30:37.480
 that in just a

00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:37.680
 minute.

00:30:38.319 --> 00:30:39.339
 We remember

00:30:39.339 --> 00:30:41.299
 his grace as we

00:30:41.299 --> 00:30:42.139
 look back to the

00:30:42.139 --> 00:30:42.559
 cross.

00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:44.200
 We participate

00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:46.720
 in that grace as

00:30:46.720 --> 00:30:47.539
 we involve

00:30:47.539 --> 00:30:48.480
 ourselves by

00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:49.119
 faith.

00:30:51.200 --> 00:30:51.960
 And we

00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:53.419
 practice grace to

00:30:53.419 --> 00:30:54.019
 one another,

00:30:54.619 --> 00:30:55.399
 welcoming each

00:30:55.399 --> 00:30:57.039
 other as Christ

00:30:57.039 --> 00:30:58.279
 welcomed us, and

00:30:58.279 --> 00:30:59.240
 we announce that

00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:01.440
 grace, saying that

00:31:01.440 --> 00:31:02.480
 God's grace is

00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:03.679
 available to all

00:31:03.679 --> 00:31:05.119
 who will come

00:31:05.119 --> 00:31:06.579
 in faith.

00:31:06.579 --> 00:31:09.319
 we're going to

00:31:09.319 --> 00:31:11.480
 sing Behold

00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:12.240
 the Lamb, which

00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:13.379
 is a song that

00:31:13.379 --> 00:31:14.339
 really takes us

00:31:14.339 --> 00:31:15.079
 through the

00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:17.699
 whole story of

00:31:17.699 --> 00:31:19.179
 the grace meal.

00:31:20.939 --> 00:31:21.839
 We're going to

00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:23.379
 sing it all the

00:31:23.379 --> 00:31:23.960
 way through, and

00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:24.439
 then we're going

00:31:24.439 --> 00:31:25.960
 to share in that

00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:27.939
 simple meal together.

00:31:28.079 --> 00:31:29.079
 But just use these

00:31:29.079 --> 00:31:30.939
 words to reflect,

00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:33.559
 to meditate, and

00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:34.359
 also to give

00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:36.519
 thanks to the

00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:38.059
 Lord Jesus for

00:31:38.059 --> 00:31:38.700
 what he has

00:31:38.700 --> 00:31:38.940
 done.

00:31:39.019 --> 00:31:39.639
 We'll stand

00:31:39.639 --> 00:31:41.379
 together as we

00:31:41.379 --> 00:31:41.980
 sing this.

00:31:44.980 --> 00:31:46.440
 Behold the Lamb

00:31:46.440 --> 00:31:47.639
 who bears our

00:31:47.639 --> 00:31:49.639
 sins away,

00:31:50.139 --> 00:31:52.680
 slain for us.

00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:55.279
 And we

00:31:55.279 --> 00:31:58.139
 remember the

00:31:58.139 --> 00:31:59.440
 promise made

00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:00.619
 that all who

00:32:00.619 --> 00:32:02.259
 come in

00:32:02.259 --> 00:32:03.500
 faith find

00:32:03.500 --> 00:32:05.220
 forgiveness

00:32:05.220 --> 00:32:07.759

00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:10.360
 So we

00:32:10.360 --> 00:32:11.299
 share

00:32:11.299 --> 00:32:13.720
 in this

00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:15.299
 bread of

00:32:15.299 --> 00:32:16.559
 life, and

00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:18.640
 we drink

00:32:18.640 --> 00:32:20.180

00:32:20.180 --> 00:32:21.900
 sacrifice

00:32:21.900 --> 00:32:23.420
 at the

00:32:23.420 --> 00:32:24.759
 time

00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:26.700
 of our

00:32:26.700 --> 00:32:28.259
 palms of

00:32:28.259 --> 00:32:29.799
 peace.

 Around the

00:32:31.559 --> 00:32:33.039

00:32:33.039 --> 00:32:34.039
 peace.

00:32:34.579 --> 00:32:37.779
 The body

00:32:37.779 --> 00:32:38.819
 of our

00:32:38.819 --> 00:32:39.379

00:32:43.220 --> 00:32:44.579

00:32:45.579 --> 00:32:47.399
 Read and

00:32:47.399 --> 00:32:48.920
 remember

00:32:48.920 --> 00:32:50.639

00:32:50.639 --> 00:32:51.420
 that heal,

00:32:51.579 --> 00:32:52.259
 the death

00:32:52.259 --> 00:32:53.440
 that brings

00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:54.759

00:33:25.839 --> 00:33:28.779

00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:30.500
 cleanses

00:33:30.500 --> 00:33:32.119
 every stain

00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:33.259
 of sin

00:33:33.259 --> 00:33:34.779
 shed for

 As we

 So as

00:35:30.340 --> 00:35:31.640
 involve

00:35:31.640 --> 00:35:33.560
 all of

00:35:34.060 --> 00:35:34.400
 are.

00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:35.360
 We need

00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:35.780

00:35:36.160 --> 00:35:36.680
 if you like,

00:35:36.760 --> 00:35:37.620
 our senses

00:35:37.620 --> 00:35:38.480

00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:39.820
 We need

 to use

00:35:40.160 --> 00:35:40.960
 our eyes,

00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:42.820
 we need

00:35:42.820 --> 00:35:43.140
 to use

00:35:43.140 --> 00:35:43.940
 our ears,

00:35:43.940 --> 00:35:46.300
 and our

00:35:46.300 --> 00:35:46.880
 mouth as

00:35:46.880 --> 00:35:47.740
 we taste,

00:35:48.460 --> 00:35:48.960
 as we

00:35:48.960 --> 00:35:49.619
 celebrate

00:35:49.619 --> 00:35:51.059
 in this

00:35:57.119 --> 00:35:57.900
 We need

00:35:57.900 --> 00:35:58.239
 to use

00:35:58.239 --> 00:35:58.500
 our

00:35:58.500 --> 00:35:59.000

00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:00.039
 as we

00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:00.579
 visualize.

00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:02.440
 We

00:36:02.440 --> 00:36:02.900
 think of

00:36:02.900 --> 00:36:03.519
 the cross

00:36:03.519 --> 00:36:04.920
 of Christ.

00:36:05.820 --> 00:36:06.119
 We

00:36:06.119 --> 00:36:06.579
 think of

00:36:06.579 --> 00:36:07.119
 Jesus

00:36:07.119 --> 00:36:08.000
 holding

00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:08.259
 the

00:36:08.259 --> 00:36:08.579
 bread,

00:36:09.320 --> 00:36:09.940
 speaking of

00:36:09.940 --> 00:36:10.139
 his

00:36:10.139 --> 00:36:10.440
 day.

00:36:11.300 --> 00:36:11.980
 His body

00:36:11.980 --> 00:36:12.559
 broken,

00:36:13.179 --> 00:36:14.840
 torn for

00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:15.280
 us,

00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:16.440
 ripped

00:36:16.440 --> 00:36:18.140
 for us,

00:36:18.340 --> 00:36:18.860
 broken

00:36:18.860 --> 00:36:20.260
 for us,

00:36:20.400 --> 00:36:21.120
 we visualize

00:36:21.120 --> 00:36:23.120
 and we

00:36:23.120 --> 00:36:23.680
 remember

00:36:23.680 --> 00:36:25.200
 Christ.

00:36:26.780 --> 00:36:27.320
 And when

00:36:27.320 --> 00:36:27.600
 he comes

00:36:27.600 --> 00:36:27.780
 to

00:36:27.780 --> 00:36:28.160
 the cross

00:36:28.160 --> 00:36:29.340
 to the

00:36:29.340 --> 00:36:29.640
 light,

00:36:29.720 --> 00:36:30.320
 we visualize

00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:30.900
 and we

00:36:30.900 --> 00:36:31.360
 remember

00:36:31.360 --> 00:36:32.100
 himself.

00:36:33.059 --> 00:36:34.079
 His blood

00:36:34.079 --> 00:36:35.780
 shed,

00:36:36.440 --> 00:36:37.120
 slain

00:36:37.120 --> 00:36:38.559
 for us,

00:36:38.720 --> 00:36:39.360
 dying

00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:41.120
 for us.

00:36:41.119 --> 00:36:43.400
 a visual

00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:44.440
 picture,

00:36:45.539 --> 00:36:46.259
 a reminder

00:36:46.259 --> 00:36:47.699
 of a

00:36:47.699 --> 00:36:48.119
 broken

00:36:48.119 --> 00:36:48.659
 body,

00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:50.299

00:36:50.299 --> 00:36:50.819

00:36:52.359 --> 00:36:52.859
 true

00:36:52.859 --> 00:36:53.299
 man

00:36:53.299 --> 00:36:54.940
 sacrifice

00:36:54.940 --> 00:36:56.759
 for us.

00:36:56.760 --> 00:36:58.400
 So we

00:36:58.400 --> 00:36:58.800
 use our

00:36:58.800 --> 00:37:00.460
 eyes as

00:37:00.460 --> 00:37:00.620
 we

00:37:00.620 --> 00:37:01.200
 visualize,

00:37:02.380 --> 00:37:02.880
 but we

00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:03.280
 use our

00:37:03.280 --> 00:37:03.920
 ears to

00:37:03.920 --> 00:37:04.260
 listen,

00:37:04.380 --> 00:37:05.320
 listen to

00:37:05.320 --> 00:37:05.920
 this from

00:37:05.920 --> 00:37:06.460
 God's

00:37:06.460 --> 00:37:06.960
 words,

00:37:07.620 --> 00:37:08.100
 for his

00:37:08.100 --> 00:37:08.860
 words give

00:37:08.860 --> 00:37:09.860
 interpretation

00:37:09.860 --> 00:37:11.380
 and meaning

00:37:11.380 --> 00:37:12.520
 to the

00:37:12.520 --> 00:37:13.700
 bread and

00:37:13.700 --> 00:37:13.980
 to the

00:37:13.980 --> 00:37:14.300
 wine.

00:37:16.440 --> 00:37:17.440
 I tell

00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:17.740
 you the

00:37:17.740 --> 00:37:18.320
 truth,

00:37:18.940 --> 00:37:19.200
 Jesus

00:37:19.200 --> 00:37:19.780
 says,

00:37:20.500 --> 00:37:21.060
 he who

00:37:21.060 --> 00:37:21.720
 believes,

00:37:21.820 --> 00:37:22.280
 who has

00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:22.880
 faith,

00:37:23.700 --> 00:37:24.060
 has

00:37:24.060 --> 00:37:24.980
 everlasting

00:37:24.980 --> 00:37:25.700
 life.

00:37:26.760 --> 00:37:28.520
 Jesus

00:37:28.520 --> 00:37:29.040
 said to

00:37:29.040 --> 00:37:29.200
 them,

00:37:29.240 --> 00:37:29.780
 I tell

00:37:29.780 --> 00:37:30.120
 you the

00:37:30.120 --> 00:37:30.500
 truth,

00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:31.660
 unless you

00:37:31.660 --> 00:37:32.300
 can eat

00:37:32.300 --> 00:37:33.280
 the flesh

00:37:33.280 --> 00:37:33.840
 of the

00:37:33.840 --> 00:37:34.200
 Son of

00:37:34.200 --> 00:37:35.660
 Man and

00:37:35.660 --> 00:37:36.380
 drink his

00:37:36.380 --> 00:37:36.860
 blood,

00:37:37.320 --> 00:37:37.820
 you have

00:37:37.820 --> 00:37:38.440
 no life

00:37:38.440 --> 00:37:39.080
 in you.

00:37:39.920 --> 00:37:40.300
 Whoever

00:37:40.300 --> 00:37:41.480
 eats my

00:37:41.480 --> 00:37:42.960
 flesh and

00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:43.640
 drinks my

00:37:43.640 --> 00:37:44.200
 blood has

00:37:44.200 --> 00:37:44.960
 eternal life

00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:46.240
 and I will

00:37:46.240 --> 00:37:46.780
 raise them

00:37:46.780 --> 00:37:47.220
 up at the

00:37:47.220 --> 00:37:47.820
 last day,

00:37:47.940 --> 00:37:48.400
 for my

00:37:48.400 --> 00:37:49.340
 flesh is

00:37:49.340 --> 00:37:50.300
 real food

00:37:50.300 --> 00:37:51.580
 and my

00:37:51.580 --> 00:37:52.080
 blood is

00:37:52.080 --> 00:37:52.820
 real drink.

00:37:53.900 --> 00:37:54.320
 Whoever

00:37:54.320 --> 00:37:55.020
 eats my

00:37:55.020 --> 00:37:55.640
 flesh and

00:37:55.640 --> 00:37:56.380
 drinks my

00:37:56.380 --> 00:37:56.740
 blood,

00:37:56.760 --> 00:37:57.960
 remains in

00:37:57.960 --> 00:37:58.920
 me and

00:37:58.920 --> 00:37:59.540
 I in

00:37:59.540 --> 00:37:59.880
 him.

00:38:01.000 --> 00:38:01.840
 Just as

00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:02.180
 the living

00:38:02.180 --> 00:38:03.060
 Father sent

00:38:03.060 --> 00:38:04.280
 me and

00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:04.760
 I live

00:38:04.760 --> 00:38:05.260
 because of

00:38:05.260 --> 00:38:05.780
 the Father,

00:38:06.880 --> 00:38:07.640
 so the

00:38:07.640 --> 00:38:08.220
 one who

00:38:08.220 --> 00:38:09.520
 feeds on

00:38:09.520 --> 00:38:10.800
 me will

00:38:10.800 --> 00:38:12.480
 live because

00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:12.980
 of me.

00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:16.300
 So we

00:38:16.300 --> 00:38:16.720
 use our

00:38:16.720 --> 00:38:17.440
 eyes to

00:38:17.440 --> 00:38:17.900
 visualize,

00:38:18.240 --> 00:38:18.840
 our ears

00:38:18.840 --> 00:38:19.600
 to listen,

00:38:20.680 --> 00:38:21.220
 and in a

00:38:21.220 --> 00:38:21.900
 moment we're

00:38:21.900 --> 00:38:22.540
 going to use

00:38:22.540 --> 00:38:23.340
 our mouths as

00:38:23.340 --> 00:38:24.079
 we taste

00:38:24.079 --> 00:38:25.840
 and eat

00:38:25.840 --> 00:38:26.780
 and drink

00:38:26.780 --> 00:38:28.140
 and by

00:38:28.140 --> 00:38:28.800
 faith we

00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:30.440
 receive and

00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:32.680
 experience the

00:38:32.680 --> 00:38:33.180
 grace of

00:38:33.180 --> 00:38:33.539
 God.

00:38:35.420 --> 00:38:36.400
 Before we do

00:38:36.400 --> 00:38:36.820
 that we're

00:38:36.820 --> 00:38:37.480
 going to read

00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:38.240
 together a

00:38:38.240 --> 00:38:38.820
 portion of

00:38:38.820 --> 00:38:39.420
 a psalm,

00:38:40.620 --> 00:38:41.660
 Psalm 32.

00:38:42.860 --> 00:38:44.019
 If you turn to

00:38:44.019 --> 00:38:45.360
 that's Psalm 32,

00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:45.380
 that's Psalm 32.

00:39:01.380 --> 00:39:02.860
 We come without

00:39:02.860 --> 00:39:03.940
 any masks,

00:39:04.599 --> 00:39:06.300
 we come without

00:39:06.300 --> 00:39:07.219
 any sense of

00:39:07.219 --> 00:39:07.980
 pretense,

00:39:07.980 --> 00:39:11.840
 we may hide

00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:12.519
 our sin,

00:39:12.619 --> 00:39:13.199
 our secret

00:39:13.199 --> 00:39:13.920
 sin from

00:39:13.920 --> 00:39:14.539
 one another,

00:39:15.460 --> 00:39:16.199
 but the

00:39:16.199 --> 00:39:16.780
 Lord knows

00:39:16.780 --> 00:39:18.340
 us and

00:39:18.340 --> 00:39:18.920
 he invites

00:39:18.920 --> 00:39:19.300
 us to

00:39:19.300 --> 00:39:19.940
 come as

00:39:19.940 --> 00:39:20.360
 we are

00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:21.019
 with all

00:39:21.019 --> 00:39:21.420
 of our

00:39:21.420 --> 00:39:22.360
 sin and

00:39:22.360 --> 00:39:22.679
 all of

00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:23.199
 our mess

00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:23.559
 and our

00:39:23.559 --> 00:39:24.159
 failures

00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:26.079
 to receive

00:39:26.079 --> 00:39:26.440
 his

00:39:26.440 --> 00:39:27.039
 forgiveness

00:39:27.039 --> 00:39:28.599
 because

00:39:28.599 --> 00:39:30.500
 he took

00:39:30.500 --> 00:39:31.360
 our sin

00:39:31.360 --> 00:39:32.280
 on himself

00:39:32.280 --> 00:39:34.420
 and died

00:39:34.420 --> 00:39:34.800
 in our

00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:35.320
 place.

00:39:35.699 --> 00:39:36.280
 So let's

00:39:36.280 --> 00:39:36.940
 read this

00:39:36.940 --> 00:39:38.240
 as a

00:39:38.240 --> 00:39:38.679
 means of

00:39:38.679 --> 00:39:38.920
 our

00:39:38.920 --> 00:39:39.579
 confession

00:39:39.579 --> 00:39:40.860
 and

00:39:40.860 --> 00:39:41.400
 reminding

00:39:41.400 --> 00:39:41.880
 us

00:39:41.880 --> 00:39:43.139
 of the

00:39:43.139 --> 00:39:43.700
 grace of

00:39:43.700 --> 00:39:44.079
 forgiveness.

00:39:44.300 --> 00:39:44.559
 Let's

00:39:44.559 --> 00:39:45.139
 read Psalm

00:39:45.139 --> 00:39:46.079
 32 verses

00:39:46.079 --> 00:39:47.099
 1 to

00:39:47.099 --> 00:39:47.639
 5

00:39:47.639 --> 00:39:48.380
 together.

00:39:51.440 --> 00:39:52.159
 Blessed

00:39:52.159 --> 00:39:53.019
 is he

00:39:53.019 --> 00:39:53.440
 whose

00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:54.559
 transgressions

00:39:54.559 --> 00:39:55.320
 are forgiven,

00:39:56.099 --> 00:39:56.380
 whose

00:39:56.380 --> 00:39:57.200
 sins are

00:39:57.200 --> 00:39:57.679
 covered.

00:39:58.500 --> 00:39:58.880
 Blessed

00:39:58.880 --> 00:39:59.340
 is the

00:39:59.340 --> 00:39:59.920
 man whose

00:39:59.920 --> 00:40:00.539
 sin the

00:40:00.539 --> 00:40:01.079
 Lord does

00:40:01.079 --> 00:40:01.760
 not count

00:40:01.760 --> 00:40:02.159
 against

00:40:02.159 --> 00:40:03.300
 him and

00:40:03.300 --> 00:40:03.740
 in whose

00:40:03.740 --> 00:40:04.460
 spirit is

00:40:04.460 --> 00:40:05.340
 no deceit.

00:40:06.240 --> 00:40:06.679
 When I

00:40:06.679 --> 00:40:07.519
 kept silent,

00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:08.299
 my bones

00:40:08.299 --> 00:40:09.239
 wasted away

00:40:09.239 --> 00:40:10.519
 through my

00:40:10.519 --> 00:40:11.399
 groaning all

00:40:11.399 --> 00:40:12.000
 day long.

00:40:12.759 --> 00:40:13.339
 For day

00:40:13.339 --> 00:40:13.859
 and night

00:40:13.859 --> 00:40:14.519
 your hand

00:40:14.519 --> 00:40:15.079
 was heavy

00:40:15.079 --> 00:40:15.719
 upon me,

00:40:16.199 --> 00:40:17.099
 my strength

00:40:17.099 --> 00:40:17.779
 was sacked

00:40:17.779 --> 00:40:18.379
 as in the

00:40:18.379 --> 00:40:18.799
 heat of

00:40:18.799 --> 00:40:19.119
 summer.

00:40:20.019 --> 00:40:20.759
 Then I

00:40:20.759 --> 00:40:21.359
 acknowledged

00:40:21.359 --> 00:40:22.039
 my sin

00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:22.519
 to you

00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:23.519
 and did

00:40:23.519 --> 00:40:24.139
 not cover

00:40:24.139 --> 00:40:24.659
 up my

00:40:24.659 --> 00:40:25.259
 iniquity.

00:40:25.859 --> 00:40:26.539
 I said,

00:40:26.739 --> 00:40:27.099
 I will

00:40:27.099 --> 00:40:28.059
 confess my

00:40:28.059 --> 00:40:28.940
 transgressions

00:40:28.940 --> 00:40:29.319
 to the

00:40:29.319 --> 00:40:29.599
 Lord,

00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:30.739
 and you

00:40:30.739 --> 00:40:31.659
 forgave the

00:40:31.659 --> 00:40:32.460
 guilt of

00:40:32.460 --> 00:40:33.099
 my sin.

00:40:33.099 --> 00:40:35.099
 God's

00:40:35.099 --> 00:40:36.099
 will

00:40:36.099 --> 00:40:37.000
 pass the

00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:37.279
 bread

00:40:37.279 --> 00:40:37.699
 around

00:40:37.699 --> 00:40:38.099
 and you

00:40:38.099 --> 00:40:38.319
 will

00:40:38.319 --> 00:40:38.960
 taste,

00:40:40.559 --> 00:40:41.059
 you

00:40:41.059 --> 00:40:41.259
 will

00:40:41.259 --> 00:40:41.839
 visualize

00:40:41.839 --> 00:40:42.559
 and you

00:40:42.559 --> 00:40:43.099
 will hear

00:40:43.099 --> 00:40:43.799
 those words

00:40:43.799 --> 00:40:44.159
 we have

00:40:44.159 --> 00:40:44.860
 just read.

00:40:45.819 --> 00:40:46.619
 Hold on

00:40:46.619 --> 00:40:46.920
 to that

00:40:46.920 --> 00:40:47.440
 piece of

00:40:47.440 --> 00:40:48.799
 bread and

00:40:48.799 --> 00:40:49.199
 then we

00:40:49.199 --> 00:40:49.679
 will eat

00:40:49.679 --> 00:40:50.239
 together

00:40:50.239 --> 00:40:51.739
 because we

00:40:51.739 --> 00:40:52.559
 participate

00:40:52.559 --> 00:40:53.339
 together

00:40:53.339 --> 00:40:55.019
 and we

00:40:55.019 --> 00:40:55.659
 practice

00:40:55.659 --> 00:40:56.679
 grace

00:40:56.679 --> 00:40:57.860
 together

00:40:57.860 --> 00:40:59.619
 as God's

00:40:59.619 --> 00:41:00.019
 family.

00:41:00.019 --> 00:41:01.619
 so please

00:41:01.619 --> 00:41:02.059
 take the

00:41:02.059 --> 00:41:02.539
 piece of

00:41:02.539 --> 00:41:02.739
 bread,

00:41:02.860 --> 00:41:03.300
 hold on

00:41:03.300 --> 00:41:03.679
 to it

00:41:03.679 --> 00:41:04.559
 and then

00:41:04.559 --> 00:41:04.840
 we will

00:41:04.840 --> 00:41:05.099
 eat

00:41:05.099 --> 00:41:05.800
 together.

00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:08.619
 As we

00:41:08.619 --> 00:41:09.199
 visualize

00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:09.960
 and we

00:41:09.960 --> 00:41:10.539
 remember

00:41:10.539 --> 00:41:11.519
 Christ's

00:41:11.519 --> 00:41:11.900
 body

00:41:11.900 --> 00:41:13.739
 torn,

00:41:14.780 --> 00:41:15.059
 broken

00:41:15.059 --> 00:41:15.880
 for us,

00:41:16.119 --> 00:41:16.460
 taking

00:41:16.460 --> 00:41:17.500
 our sin

00:41:17.500 --> 00:41:18.219
 upon

00:41:18.219 --> 00:41:18.820
 himself,

00:41:19.820 --> 00:41:20.800
 by faith

00:41:20.800 --> 00:41:21.059
 we

00:41:21.059 --> 00:41:21.840
 participate

00:41:21.840 --> 00:41:23.659
 to

00:41:23.659 --> 00:41:24.340
 experience

00:41:24.340 --> 00:41:25.360
 and receive

00:41:25.360 --> 00:41:26.280
 his grace.

00:41:27.480 --> 00:41:28.440
 Let us

00:41:28.440 --> 00:41:29.360
 taste and

00:41:29.360 --> 00:41:29.800
 eat

00:41:29.800 --> 00:41:31.380
 and remember

00:41:31.380 --> 00:41:31.900
 let's

00:41:31.900 --> 00:41:32.120
 eat

00:41:32.120 --> 00:41:32.539
 together.

00:41:32.539 --> 00:41:32.740
 Let us

00:41:32.740 --> 00:41:33.100
 eat

00:41:33.100 --> 00:41:33.539
 together.

00:41:59.800 --> 00:42:04.539
 he made

00:42:04.539 --> 00:42:05.019
 known his

00:42:05.019 --> 00:42:05.580
 ways to

00:42:05.580 --> 00:42:05.980
 Moses,

00:42:06.420 --> 00:42:07.140
 his deeds

00:42:07.140 --> 00:42:07.500
 to the

00:42:07.500 --> 00:42:08.000
 people of

00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:08.480
 Israel.

00:42:09.300 --> 00:42:09.740
 The

00:42:09.740 --> 00:42:10.320
 Lord is

00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:11.039
 compassionate

00:42:11.039 --> 00:42:12.019
 and gracious,

00:42:13.140 --> 00:42:13.760
 slow to

00:42:13.760 --> 00:42:14.240
 anger,

00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:15.420
 abounding

00:42:15.420 --> 00:42:16.039
 in love.

00:42:16.840 --> 00:42:17.200
 He will

00:42:17.200 --> 00:42:17.740
 not always

00:42:17.740 --> 00:42:18.380
 accuse,

00:42:18.539 --> 00:42:18.920
 nor will

00:42:18.920 --> 00:42:19.860
 he harbor

00:42:19.860 --> 00:42:20.539
 his anger

00:42:20.539 --> 00:42:21.019
 forever.

00:42:21.920 --> 00:42:22.519
 He does

00:42:22.519 --> 00:42:23.080
 not treat

00:42:23.080 --> 00:42:23.780
 us as our

00:42:23.780 --> 00:42:24.600
 sins deserve

00:42:24.600 --> 00:42:25.840
 or repay

00:42:25.840 --> 00:42:26.440
 us according

00:42:26.440 --> 00:42:26.840
 to our

00:42:26.840 --> 00:42:27.519
 iniquities.

00:42:27.519 --> 00:42:28.780
 for as

00:42:28.780 --> 00:42:29.440
 high as

00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:30.000
 the heavens

00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:30.639
 are above

00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:31.280
 the earth,

00:42:31.940 --> 00:42:32.820
 so great

00:42:32.820 --> 00:42:33.340
 is his

00:42:33.340 --> 00:42:33.840
 love for

00:42:33.840 --> 00:42:34.420
 those who

00:42:34.420 --> 00:42:35.019
 fear him.

00:42:35.880 --> 00:42:36.639
 As far

00:42:36.639 --> 00:42:37.099
 as the

00:42:37.099 --> 00:42:37.780
 east is

00:42:37.780 --> 00:42:38.239
 from the

00:42:38.239 --> 00:42:38.659
 west,

00:42:39.320 --> 00:42:40.079
 so far

00:42:40.079 --> 00:42:40.759
 has he

00:42:40.759 --> 00:42:41.259
 removed

00:42:41.259 --> 00:42:41.599
 our

00:42:41.599 --> 00:42:42.539
 transgressions

00:42:42.539 --> 00:42:43.420
 from us.

00:42:43.420 --> 00:42:49.539
 we're

00:42:49.539 --> 00:42:49.900
 going to

00:42:49.900 --> 00:42:50.220
 sing

00:42:50.220 --> 00:42:50.760
 together.

00:42:51.400 --> 00:42:52.220
 Only by

00:42:52.220 --> 00:42:53.260
 grace can

00:42:53.260 --> 00:42:53.820
 we enter

00:42:53.820 --> 00:42:54.800
 because it

00:42:54.800 --> 00:42:55.240
 is only

00:42:55.240 --> 00:42:56.340
 because of

00:42:56.340 --> 00:42:56.860
 the grace

00:42:56.860 --> 00:42:58.139
 of God

00:42:58.139 --> 00:42:59.039
 it picks

00:42:59.039 --> 00:43:00.579
 up something

00:43:00.579 --> 00:43:00.960
 of that

00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:01.539
 theme that

00:43:01.539 --> 00:43:01.860
 we were

00:43:01.860 --> 00:43:02.500
 looking at.

00:43:02.880 --> 00:43:03.360
 It's not

00:43:03.360 --> 00:43:03.720
 by our

00:43:03.720 --> 00:43:04.039
 human

00:43:04.039 --> 00:43:04.420
 endeavor,

00:43:04.559 --> 00:43:05.000
 nothing that

00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:05.599
 we do,

00:43:06.500 --> 00:43:07.099
 but by

00:43:07.099 --> 00:43:07.599
 the blood

00:43:07.599 --> 00:43:07.960
 of the

00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:08.220
 Lamb,

00:43:08.340 --> 00:43:08.880
 but by

00:43:08.880 --> 00:43:09.400
 Jesus

00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:09.980
 Christ.

00:43:09.980 --> 00:43:11.340
 we'll

00:43:11.340 --> 00:43:11.679
 remain

00:43:11.679 --> 00:43:12.139
 seated

00:43:12.139 --> 00:43:13.019
 as we

00:43:13.019 --> 00:43:13.420
 sing this

00:43:13.420 --> 00:43:13.780
 through a

00:43:13.780 --> 00:43:14.099
 couple of

00:43:14.099 --> 00:43:14.420
 times.

00:43:14.420 --> 00:43:14.480
 verse.

00:43:34.980 --> 00:43:36.300
 Only by

00:43:36.300 --> 00:43:37.180
 grace can

00:43:37.180 --> 00:43:38.820
 we enter,

00:43:39.700 --> 00:43:40.559
 only by

00:43:40.559 --> 00:43:41.360
 grace can

00:43:41.360 --> 00:43:42.559
 we stand,

00:43:42.559 --> 00:43:44.679
 not by

00:43:44.679 --> 00:43:45.500
 a human

00:43:45.500 --> 00:43:47.259
 endeavor,

00:43:48.099 --> 00:43:48.880
 but by

00:43:48.880 --> 00:43:49.699
 the blood

00:43:49.699 --> 00:43:50.320
 of the

00:43:50.320 --> 00:43:51.980
 Lamb.

00:43:52.519 --> 00:43:52.940
 Into

00:43:52.940 --> 00:43:54.039
 your presence

00:43:54.039 --> 00:43:55.360
 you call,

00:43:56.480 --> 00:43:58.039
 we call

00:43:58.039 --> 00:43:58.699
 us to

00:43:58.699 --> 00:44:00.139
 come.

00:44:00.799 --> 00:44:01.199
 Into

00:44:01.199 --> 00:44:02.299
 your presence

00:44:02.299 --> 00:44:04.360
 you jolt,

00:44:04.759 --> 00:44:05.279
 and now

00:44:05.279 --> 00:44:05.799
 by your

00:44:05.799 --> 00:44:06.900
 grace we

00:44:06.900 --> 00:44:07.900
 come.

00:44:08.900 --> 00:44:09.739
 Now by

00:44:09.739 --> 00:44:10.639
 your grace

00:44:10.639 --> 00:44:12.019
 we come.

00:44:12.559 --> 00:44:13.659
 Lord,

00:44:13.699 --> 00:44:14.059
 if you

00:44:14.059 --> 00:44:14.799
 mark our

00:44:14.799 --> 00:44:16.119
 transgressions,

00:44:16.119 --> 00:44:17.400
 who would

00:44:17.400 --> 00:44:18.119
 die?

00:44:21.119 --> 00:44:22.039
 Thanks to

00:44:22.039 --> 00:44:22.759
 your grace

00:44:22.759 --> 00:44:23.239
 we are

00:44:23.239 --> 00:44:24.079
 cleansed by

00:44:24.079 --> 00:44:24.820
 the blood

00:44:24.820 --> 00:44:25.320
 of the

00:44:25.320 --> 00:44:26.320
 Lamb.

00:44:29.219 --> 00:44:29.900
 Lord,

00:44:29.980 --> 00:44:30.320
 if you

00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:31.099
 mark our

00:44:31.099 --> 00:44:32.279
 transgressions,

00:44:32.679 --> 00:44:33.619
 who would

00:44:33.619 --> 00:44:34.380
 die?

00:44:37.239 --> 00:44:38.159
 Thanks to

00:44:38.159 --> 00:44:38.920
 your grace

00:44:38.920 --> 00:44:39.420
 we are

00:44:39.420 --> 00:44:40.239

00:44:40.979 --> 00:44:41.559
 of the

00:44:41.559 --> 00:44:42.239
 Lamb.

00:44:42.239 --> 00:44:42.959
 The blood

00:44:42.959 --> 00:44:43.639
 of the Lamb.

00:44:45.119 --> 00:44:46.439
 Only by

00:44:46.439 --> 00:44:47.279
 grace can

00:44:47.279 --> 00:44:47.699
 be

00:44:47.699 --> 00:44:48.919

 only by

00:44:50.559 --> 00:44:51.319
 grace can

 your

00:45:14.059 --> 00:45:14.859
 Now by

 your grace

00:45:15.779 --> 00:45:16.960

00:45:25.420 --> 00:45:41.260
 we

00:45:41.260 --> 00:45:42.240
 continue to

00:45:42.240 --> 00:45:43.180
 visualize

00:45:43.180 --> 00:45:45.539
 as we

00:45:45.539 --> 00:45:46.420
 look at

00:45:46.420 --> 00:45:48.000
 the wine

00:45:48.000 --> 00:45:48.920
 we remember

00:45:48.920 --> 00:45:50.300
 Christ's

00:45:51.019 --> 00:45:51.559
 sacrifice

00:45:51.559 --> 00:45:52.320
 on the

00:45:52.320 --> 00:45:52.780
 cross.

00:45:52.780 --> 00:45:55.060
 his

00:45:55.060 --> 00:45:55.440
 blood

00:45:55.440 --> 00:45:55.660
 our

00:45:55.660 --> 00:45:56.200
 faith

00:45:56.200 --> 00:45:56.900
 in

00:45:56.900 --> 00:45:57.220
 his

00:45:57.220 --> 00:45:57.580
 death

00:45:57.580 --> 00:45:57.840
 for

00:45:57.840 --> 00:45:58.300
 us

00:45:58.300 --> 00:45:58.700
 that

00:45:58.700 --> 00:45:59.320
 rescues

00:45:59.320 --> 00:45:59.680
 us

00:45:59.680 --> 00:46:00.500
 and

00:46:00.500 --> 00:46:00.920
 forgives

00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:01.240
 us.

00:46:01.600 --> 00:46:01.980
 As

00:46:01.980 --> 00:46:02.280
 this

00:46:02.280 --> 00:46:02.460
 is

00:46:02.460 --> 00:46:02.720
 being

00:46:02.720 --> 00:46:03.180
 passed

00:46:03.180 --> 00:46:03.620
 around

00:46:03.620 --> 00:46:04.200
 drink

00:46:04.200 --> 00:46:04.860
 as

00:46:04.860 --> 00:46:05.000
 you

00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:05.420
 receive

00:46:05.420 --> 00:46:05.680
 but

00:46:05.680 --> 00:46:05.980
 let's

00:46:05.980 --> 00:46:06.200
 use

00:46:06.200 --> 00:46:06.460
 this

00:46:06.460 --> 00:46:06.620
 as

00:46:06.620 --> 00:46:06.800
 an

00:46:06.800 --> 00:46:07.180
 open

00:46:07.180 --> 00:46:07.680
 time

00:46:07.680 --> 00:46:09.040
 to

00:46:09.040 --> 00:46:09.300
 give

00:46:09.300 --> 00:46:09.800
 thanks

00:46:09.800 --> 00:46:10.220
 and

00:46:10.220 --> 00:46:10.400
 to

00:46:10.400 --> 00:46:10.800
 praise.

00:46:10.960 --> 00:46:11.000
 We

00:46:11.000 --> 00:46:11.140
 have

00:46:11.140 --> 00:46:11.340
 had

00:46:11.340 --> 00:46:11.580
 our

00:46:11.580 --> 00:46:12.660
 personal

00:46:12.660 --> 00:46:13.440
 reflection

00:46:13.440 --> 00:46:14.420
 and

00:46:14.420 --> 00:46:15.000
 repentance

00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:16.460
 but

00:46:16.460 --> 00:46:16.680
 now

00:46:16.680 --> 00:46:16.920
 we

00:46:16.920 --> 00:46:17.820
 celebrate

00:46:17.820 --> 00:46:18.980
 his

00:46:18.980 --> 00:46:19.440
 forgiveness

00:46:19.440 --> 00:46:19.720
 we

00:46:19.720 --> 00:46:20.420
 celebrate

00:46:20.420 --> 00:46:20.780
 that

00:46:20.780 --> 00:46:21.000
 new

00:46:21.000 --> 00:46:21.420
 life.

00:46:21.420 --> 00:46:22.619
 So

00:46:22.619 --> 00:46:22.980
 let's

00:46:22.980 --> 00:46:23.260
 take

00:46:23.260 --> 00:46:23.480
 this

00:46:23.480 --> 00:46:23.820
 time

00:46:23.820 --> 00:46:23.980
 as

00:46:23.980 --> 00:46:24.159
 it's

00:46:24.159 --> 00:46:24.380
 being

00:46:24.380 --> 00:46:24.800
 passed

00:46:24.800 --> 00:46:25.079
 around

00:46:25.079 --> 00:46:25.300
 to

00:46:25.300 --> 00:46:25.599
 pray

00:46:25.599 --> 00:46:25.760
 if

00:46:25.760 --> 00:46:25.820
 you

00:46:25.820 --> 00:46:25.920
 want

00:46:25.920 --> 00:46:26.019
 to

00:46:26.019 --> 00:46:26.220
 pray

00:46:26.220 --> 00:46:26.440
 out

00:46:26.440 --> 00:46:26.760
 loud

00:46:26.760 --> 00:46:27.340
 or

00:46:27.340 --> 00:46:28.000
 read

00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:28.480
 something

00:46:28.480 --> 00:46:28.760
 of

00:46:28.760 --> 00:46:29.619
 prayer

00:46:29.619 --> 00:46:30.200
 or

00:46:30.200 --> 00:46:30.400
 of

00:46:30.400 --> 00:46:31.000
 praise

00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:32.220
 to

00:46:32.220 --> 00:46:32.460
 do

00:46:32.460 --> 00:46:32.860
 that

00:46:32.860 --> 00:46:33.820
 as

00:46:33.820 --> 00:46:33.980
 we

00:46:33.980 --> 00:46:34.260
 gather

00:46:34.260 --> 00:46:34.760
 together.
