00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.580
 So while boys and girls are heading out to their classes and to Koresh,

00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:09.599
 those of us who are remaining here,

00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:12.160
 we can turn in our Bibles to the New Testament

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:17.300
 and to Paul's letter, first letter of the Thessalonians.

00:00:19.420 --> 00:00:21.980
 We're going to read two sections,

00:00:21.980 --> 00:00:26.400
 two things that Paul says to this church.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:39.780
 On the subject of their attitude towards work, at least in part.

00:00:39.899 --> 00:00:43.620
 So 1 Thessalonians chapter 4, the first 12 verses,

00:00:44.420 --> 00:00:46.120
 and let's hear God's word together.

00:00:46.980 --> 00:00:49.140
 As for other matters, brothers and sisters,

00:00:49.620 --> 00:00:52.519
 we instructed you how to live in order to please God,

00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:54.320
 as in fact you are living.

00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:58.240
 Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more.

00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:02.539
 For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:05.740
 It is God's will that you should be sanctified,

00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:08.180
 that you should avoid sexual immorality,

00:01:08.780 --> 00:01:11.020
 that each of you should learn to control your own body

00:01:11.020 --> 00:01:13.040
 in a way that is holy and honorable,

00:01:13.740 --> 00:01:16.640
 not in passionate lust like the pagans who do not know God,

00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:21.159
 and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister.

00:01:21.820 --> 00:01:24.599
 The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins,

00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:26.419
 as we told you and warned you before,

00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:28.739
 for God did not call us to be impure,

00:01:29.259 --> 00:01:30.479
 but to live a holy life.

00:01:31.179 --> 00:01:33.119
 Therefore anyone who rejects this instruction

00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:35.000
 does not reject a human being,

00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:37.819
 but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit.

00:01:38.579 --> 00:01:40.439
 Now about your love for one another,

00:01:40.819 --> 00:01:42.439
 we do not need to write to you,

00:01:42.780 --> 00:01:45.619
 for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other.

00:01:46.119 --> 00:01:49.739
 And in fact, you do love all of God's family throughout Macedonia.

00:01:49.739 --> 00:01:52.319
 Yet we urge you, brothers and sisters,

00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:53.759
 to do so more and more,

00:01:54.379 --> 00:01:57.599
 and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life.

00:01:58.159 --> 00:01:59.679
 You should mind your own business,

00:02:00.019 --> 00:02:02.280
 and work with your hands just as we told you,

00:02:02.759 --> 00:02:05.899
 so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders,

00:02:06.639 --> 00:02:09.859
 and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.

00:02:10.979 --> 00:02:13.780
 And then 2 Thessalonians chapter 3,

00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:15.419
 Paul writes another letter to them.

00:02:15.419 --> 00:02:21.639
 And at verse 6, we hear some more of his teaching there.

00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:25.060
 In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,

00:02:25.519 --> 00:02:27.139
 we command you, brothers and sisters,

00:02:27.519 --> 00:02:30.719
 to keep away from every believer who is idle and disruptive,

00:02:31.359 --> 00:02:34.299
 and does not live according to the teaching you received from us.

00:02:34.819 --> 00:02:38.019
 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example.

00:02:38.779 --> 00:02:40.839
 We were not idle when we were with you,

00:02:41.219 --> 00:02:43.959
 nor did we eat anyone's food without paying for it.

00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.939
 On the contrary, we worked night and day,

00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:48.920
 laboring and toiling,

00:02:49.480 --> 00:02:51.700
 so that we would not be a burden to any of you.

00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:55.360
 We did this not because we do not have the right to such help,

00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:59.760
 but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate.

00:03:00.780 --> 00:03:03.280
 For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule,

00:03:03.640 --> 00:03:06.600
 the one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.

00:03:07.500 --> 00:03:10.560
 We hear that some among you are idle and disruptive.

00:03:10.780 --> 00:03:11.500
 They are not busy.

00:03:12.180 --> 00:03:13.159
 They are busybodies.

00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:17.400
 Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus to settle down

00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:19.419
 and earn the food they eat.

00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:21.759
 And as for you, brothers and sisters,

00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:24.719
 never tire of doing what is good.

00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:26.560
 Take special note,

00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:29.199
 if anyone who does not obey our instruction in this letter,

00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:31.019
 do not associate with them,

00:03:31.079 --> 00:03:32.699
 in order that they may feel ashamed.

00:03:33.659 --> 00:03:35.180
 Yet do not regard them as an enemy,

00:03:35.740 --> 00:03:36.680
 but warn them,

00:03:36.979 --> 00:03:37.639
 as you would,

00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:39.319
 a fellow believer.

00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:41.079
 Amen.

00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:44.000
 And we will return to some of those thoughts

00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.299
 as we're thinking about Ecclesiastes in a few moments.

00:03:47.979 --> 00:03:49.239
 But before we get there,

00:03:49.299 --> 00:03:50.519
 we're going to sing.

00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:51.719
 As we're singing through our Psalms,

00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:53.120
 we come to Psalm 13.

00:03:53.359 --> 00:03:55.299
 And when we think of this Psalm,

00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.259
 think of how it relates to Jesus,

00:03:58.479 --> 00:03:59.199
 the true King,

00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:00.560
 who knew,

00:04:00.780 --> 00:04:01.819
 like David the Psalmist,

00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:03.019
 the sorrow of separation,

00:04:03.679 --> 00:04:05.079
 who knew trouble and loneliness,

00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:07.199
 who knew the attacks of his enemies,

00:04:07.359 --> 00:04:10.319
 and yet is one who trusted and had joy.

00:04:11.119 --> 00:04:12.479
 And as we think of Jesus,

00:04:12.659 --> 00:04:14.199
 think too of his church.

00:04:14.839 --> 00:04:16.779
 I pray for ourselves,

00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:20.800
 but also make it a prayer for God's suffering church in the world.

00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:24.220
 So let's stand and let's sing Psalm 13 together.

00:04:24.220 --> 00:04:37.520
 How long will you forget me, Lord?

00:04:37.760 --> 00:04:42.680
 Will you forget always?

00:04:45.080 --> 00:04:48.060
 How long, Lord,

00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:53.340
 will you hide your face?

00:04:53.339 --> 00:05:01.619
 and turn from me your gaze?

00:05:01.619 --> 00:05:10.500
 How long must I be sat each day

00:05:10.500 --> 00:05:16.059
 in deeper perplexity?

00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:22.779
 How long will my,

00:05:22.779 --> 00:05:33.779
 Opponents stand in triumph over me?

00:05:33.779 --> 00:05:40.159
 O Lord, my God,

00:05:40.159 --> 00:05:43.779
 consider me

00:05:43.779 --> 00:05:49.979
 and give me your reply.

00:05:49.980 --> 00:05:57.280
 Light up my eyes,

00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:01.780
 Or I will sleep,

00:06:01.780 --> 00:06:07.980
 The sleep of those who die.

00:06:07.980 --> 00:06:19.780
 Then would my enemy declare,

00:06:19.780 --> 00:06:25.980
 At last I've laid him low,

00:06:25.980 --> 00:06:35.980
 And so my foes would sing for joy,

00:06:35.980 --> 00:06:38.980
 To see my overthrow.

00:06:38.980 --> 00:06:42.980
 To see my overthrow.

00:06:42.980 --> 00:06:52.980
 But still I trust your constant love,

00:06:52.980 --> 00:06:59.980
 You save and set me free.

00:06:59.980 --> 00:07:12.140
 With joy I will extol the Lord,

00:07:12.139 --> 00:07:19.139
 Who has been good to me.

00:07:19.139 --> 00:07:30.759
 Now let's turn to pray together.

00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:35.759
 Lord, our God,

00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:40.699
 Our God, as we have sung of David's lament,

00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:42.759
 But also his trust,

00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:48.759
 We thank you that it reminds us of the reality of suffering,

00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:52.079
 So that we would take it to you in prayer.

00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:53.959
 Lord, once again,

00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:57.759
 We bring before you the nation of Ukraine,

00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:04.379
 With all the suffering that we see continuing to go on.

00:08:05.379 --> 00:08:07.039
 Lord, once again,

00:08:07.039 --> 00:08:10.099
 We bring before you our prayer for peace,

00:08:11.099 --> 00:08:13.279
 And our prayer for justice.

00:08:14.420 --> 00:08:21.399
 Lord, we remember the civilians who are caught up in the conflict,

00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:25.539
 The huge humanitarian crisis that is growing,

00:08:27.099 --> 00:08:35.620
 The uncertainty even of being able to find those safe corridors to pass through.

00:08:36.860 --> 00:08:41.419
 Lord, we pray for those who are in the midst of war,

00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:43.279
 And living with fear,

00:08:43.779 --> 00:08:46.340
 And where family are separated from one another.

00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:50.620
 Lord, we pray that you would hear our prayers,

00:08:50.620 --> 00:08:51.919
 And their prayers.

00:08:52.740 --> 00:08:55.759
 Lord, we ask that justice would be done,

00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:58.700
 That evil would be stopped.

00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:02.639
 And we pray wisdom for all the leaders of the world,

00:09:02.740 --> 00:09:04.919
 And indeed of businesses,

00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:06.799
 And of the financial world,

00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:09.120
 To know how to respond well,

00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:13.560
 In order to bring this to an end.

00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:19.639
 Lord, we ask that you would cause many people

00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:21.559
 To be praying,

00:09:22.259 --> 00:09:24.159
 In light of the difficulties,

00:09:24.319 --> 00:09:25.600
 In light of the suffering.

00:09:26.500 --> 00:09:30.500
 Lord, we pray for your church in the Ukraine,

00:09:31.539 --> 00:09:34.539
 Asking that you would strengthen them in their trust,

00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:38.840
 That you would give them the joy of the Lord Jesus,

00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:41.399
 In the midst of their sorrow.

00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:47.120
 Enable them to hold out the gospel of the Lord Jesus,

00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:50.559
 As a beacon of light in the midst of darkness.

00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:55.600
 Lord, we know that the church in Ukraine has a strong tradition,

00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:58.879
 It has a strong tradition of sending,

00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:03.019
 And supporting mission and missionaries around the world.

00:10:04.060 --> 00:10:06.840
 Lord, we pray that the strength of the church,

00:10:07.220 --> 00:10:10.440
 Would enable them to love and to serve,

00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:14.360
 And to bring help where it is needed,

00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:19.240
 And ultimately to continue bringing the hope,

00:10:19.340 --> 00:10:21.340
 The eternal hope of the Lord Jesus.

00:10:21.340 --> 00:10:26.460
 Lord, we remember that Ukraine is not on its own,

00:10:27.019 --> 00:10:29.860
 In being a place of war and suffering.

00:10:30.920 --> 00:10:34.840
 We remember friends and those we've heard of in Myanmar,

00:10:35.680 --> 00:10:38.200
 As they continue to suffer.

00:10:39.379 --> 00:10:42.899
 Lord, again, we ask that you would enable your people,

00:10:43.220 --> 00:10:45.340
 To endure in their faith,

00:10:46.019 --> 00:10:49.519
 To endure in their desire to love,

00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:51.079
 And to serve one another,

00:10:51.079 --> 00:10:53.539
 And to be a blessing to their communities,

00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:55.899
 Even when they have so little themselves.

00:10:57.319 --> 00:11:02.500
 Lord, we also remember your suffering church in South Sudan.

00:11:03.019 --> 00:11:04.860
 We remember some of us,

00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:08.139
 Patrick Jock, who came to visit a number of years ago.

00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:12.000
 We remember him and the churches that he is a part of,

00:11:12.299 --> 00:11:17.899
 As they look to serve those who are the victims of war,

00:11:17.899 --> 00:11:19.519
 And who have so little.

00:11:20.100 --> 00:11:21.980
 But Lord, we thank you for the gospel,

00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:25.579
 That gives the sure hope of eternal life.

00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:27.659
 That beyond suffering,

00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:30.419
 There is that eternal weight of glory.

00:11:31.079 --> 00:11:33.459
 And we pray that for people who are suffering,

00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:37.259
 And indeed for people in prosperity and security,

00:11:37.459 --> 00:11:39.199
 As we often find ourselves in,

00:11:40.259 --> 00:11:43.399
 That our hope would be fixed on what is eternal.

00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:47.100
 Lord, we don't just think of troubled places,

00:11:47.100 --> 00:11:49.220
 We think of troubled people we know.

00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:53.779
 Lord, we realize that the financial impact

00:11:53.779 --> 00:11:57.299
 Keeps on coming beyond pandemic,

00:11:57.799 --> 00:11:59.620
 And there are many who are fearful.

00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:04.399
 Lord, we pray for those whose health is struggling,

00:12:04.939 --> 00:12:07.960
 And who are worried for those who have ill health.

00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:12.680
 And we pray for those who are dealing with difficult news,

00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:14.400
 And difficult circumstances.

00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:21.320
 For those who are anticipating an uncertain future.

00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:27.440
 For those who are struggling to live as a Christian in the workplace,

00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:31.660
 Because of opposition and challenge.

00:12:31.659 --> 00:12:36.240
 For those who are finding the going hard spiritually,

00:12:37.299 --> 00:12:39.879
 And growing weaker in their faith.

00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:42.779
 Lord, we ask that you would draw near,

00:12:43.419 --> 00:12:46.600
 That you would comfort and renew and restore.

00:12:47.779 --> 00:12:51.139
 Lord, that you would keep our eyes looking up to Jesus,

00:12:52.059 --> 00:12:54.819
 The author and the perfecter of our faith.

00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:57.120
 And we pray that you would do that for us,

00:12:57.120 --> 00:13:00.659
 Even in this time that we gather together to worship.

00:13:00.659 --> 00:13:03.899
 We pray in Jesus' name. Amen.

00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:09.259
 Now let's turn in our Bibles once again.

00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:11.819
 And we're back in Ecclesiastes.

00:13:12.419 --> 00:13:14.959
 And we're going to read chapter 3,

00:13:15.539 --> 00:13:17.799
 Verse 16 down to chapter 4,

00:13:18.299 --> 00:13:20.759
 And to verse number 6.

00:13:22.019 --> 00:13:26.000
 And let's again hear God's word.

00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:30.360
 And I saw something else under the sun,

00:13:30.659 --> 00:13:34.419
 In the place of judgment, wickedness was there.

00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:38.799
 In the place of justice, wickedness was there.

00:13:39.299 --> 00:13:40.539
 I said to myself,

00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:44.079
 God will bring into judgment both the righteous and the wicked,

00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:46.779
 For there will be a time for every activity,

00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:48.980
 A time to judge every deed.

00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:51.120
 I also said to myself,

00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:52.120
 As for humans,

00:13:52.959 --> 00:13:54.199
 God tests them,

00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:56.759
 So that they may see that they are like the animals.

00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:00.360
 Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals.

00:14:00.500 --> 00:14:02.360
 The same fate awaits them both.

00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:05.139
 As one dies, so dies the other.

00:14:05.500 --> 00:14:06.519
 All have the same breath.

00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:08.700
 Humans have no advantage over animals.

00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:11.679
 Everything is meaningless or vanity.

00:14:12.379 --> 00:14:13.679
 All go to the same place.

00:14:14.100 --> 00:14:15.120
 All come from dust,

00:14:15.179 --> 00:14:16.379
 And to dust all return.

00:14:16.899 --> 00:14:19.059
 Who knows if the human spirit rises upward,

00:14:19.220 --> 00:14:21.799
 And if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth.

00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:25.659
 So I saw that it is nothing better for a person

00:14:25.659 --> 00:14:27.379
 Than to enjoy their work,

00:14:27.599 --> 00:14:28.899
 Because that is their lot.

00:14:29.379 --> 00:14:31.959
 For who can bring them to see what will happen after them?

00:14:32.899 --> 00:14:35.199
 Again, I looked and saw all the oppression

00:14:35.199 --> 00:14:37.319
 That was taking place under the sun.

00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:39.759
 I saw the tears of the oppressed,

00:14:39.839 --> 00:14:41.000
 And they have no comforter.

00:14:41.599 --> 00:14:44.359
 Power was on the side of their oppressors,

00:14:44.539 --> 00:14:46.519
 And they have no comforter.

00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:50.659
 And I declared that the dead who had already died

00:14:50.659 --> 00:14:53.939
 Are happier than the living who are still alive,

00:14:54.460 --> 00:14:56.759
 But better than both is the one who has never been born,

00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:59.679
 Who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun.

00:15:00.439 --> 00:15:03.279
 And I saw that all toil and all achievement

00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:05.779
 Spring from one person's envy of another.

00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:07.639
 This too is meaningless,

00:15:08.500 --> 00:15:10.220
 A chasing after the wind.

00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:13.579
 Fools fold their hands and ruin themselves.

00:15:13.580 --> 00:15:16.860
 Better one handful with tranquility

00:15:16.860 --> 00:15:19.480
 Than two handfuls with toil

00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:22.700
 And chasing after the wind.

00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:23.639
 Amen.

00:15:24.700 --> 00:15:26.820
 So our theme this morning

00:15:26.820 --> 00:15:29.259
 Is that of working wisely

00:15:29.259 --> 00:15:32.200
 In a wicked world.

00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:34.900
 Our attitude to work

00:15:34.900 --> 00:15:37.660
 Can be a complicated one.

00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:39.980
 Some people speak of work as

00:15:39.980 --> 00:15:41.240
 The rat race.

00:15:41.300 --> 00:15:43.100
 And we've probably heard that famous quip

00:15:43.100 --> 00:15:45.259
 The trouble with the rat race is

00:15:45.259 --> 00:15:46.220
 That even if you win,

00:15:46.379 --> 00:15:47.740
 You're still a rat.

00:15:48.560 --> 00:15:49.600
 We speak about work as

00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:52.200
 A dog-eat-dog environment.

00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:54.100
 Where people are doing whatever it takes

00:15:54.100 --> 00:15:54.960
 To get ahead,

00:15:55.060 --> 00:15:57.580
 Even if it means harming others.

00:15:57.779 --> 00:16:00.060
 We talk about the corporate jungle.

00:16:00.800 --> 00:16:03.159
 Where there's threat from all sides.

00:16:03.220 --> 00:16:04.519
 And how do we survive

00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:06.259
 In that context.

00:16:07.779 --> 00:16:09.700
 And so today's question is

00:16:09.700 --> 00:16:11.379
 How should we work wisely

00:16:11.379 --> 00:16:12.059
 Wisely,

00:16:12.659 --> 00:16:14.439
 As we acknowledge that we live

00:16:14.439 --> 00:16:16.039
 In a wicked world.

00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:17.960
 How do we enjoy the gift of work

00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:19.039
 In a broken world.

00:16:19.139 --> 00:16:20.919
 How as Christians do we live

00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:23.240
 And work well.

00:16:23.980 --> 00:16:25.000
 Now our teacher,

00:16:25.220 --> 00:16:26.240
 If you were here last week,

00:16:26.439 --> 00:16:27.139
 Chapter 3,

00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:28.379
 We were in his famous poem.

00:16:28.939 --> 00:16:30.320
 Thinking about all the times

00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:32.299
 That God sets for our lives.

00:16:33.019 --> 00:16:35.159
 Now we're considering this set time

00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:37.620
 That we have as people for work.

00:16:37.620 --> 00:16:40.179
 And that work that takes place

00:16:40.179 --> 00:16:41.799
 In the context of,

00:16:41.860 --> 00:16:42.759
 As he tells us,

00:16:43.220 --> 00:16:43.940
 Wickedness,

00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:45.159
 Oppression,

00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:46.480
 Envy,

00:16:46.899 --> 00:16:48.000
 And toil.

00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:51.139
 And I imagine few of us

00:16:51.139 --> 00:16:52.700
 Can doubt his conclusion.

00:16:54.060 --> 00:16:55.919
 We just need to turn on our televisions.

00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:57.600
 We see what's happening in Ukraine.

00:16:57.779 --> 00:16:59.580
 We see the power grab

00:16:59.580 --> 00:17:01.299
 And the drive for personal glory.

00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:03.740
 We are seeing civilian suffering

00:17:03.740 --> 00:17:06.380
 And a humanitarian crisis in Europe

00:17:06.380 --> 00:17:08.640
 That we haven't seen since World War II.

00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:11.740
 But we also see it in the world of business

00:17:11.740 --> 00:17:12.420
 In the workplace.

00:17:12.579 --> 00:17:15.000
 We talk about destroyer pricing.

00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:19.799
 Where large companies want to drive out of business,

00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:20.720
 Smaller companies.

00:17:20.779 --> 00:17:22.640
 We talk of hostile takeovers.

00:17:23.940 --> 00:17:26.160
 And we know that many folks

00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:28.120
 Who are doing incredibly valuable jobs

00:17:28.120 --> 00:17:31.079
 Have to do so with very difficult pay and conditions.

00:17:31.299 --> 00:17:33.480
 Think of the care sector struggles at the moment.

00:17:33.740 --> 00:17:35.480
 And then we go around the world

00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:37.680
 And we recognize the reality

00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:39.559
 That still exists of modern day slavery

00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:40.680
 And sweatshop labor.

00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:44.019
 And against this backdrop,

00:17:44.859 --> 00:17:46.920
 Our relationship to work

00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:48.660
 Can then begin to go wrong.

00:17:49.940 --> 00:17:51.799
 And we can struggle, on the one hand,

00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:53.640
 With our work-life balance.

00:17:54.579 --> 00:17:56.079
 Sometimes underworking,

00:17:56.220 --> 00:17:57.539
 Sometimes overworking.

00:17:58.059 --> 00:18:01.079
 We can struggle with our attitude towards work.

00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:04.119
 So we can take this negative view,

00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:06.000
 Well, work is a necessary evil

00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:09.879
 That I just need to do in order to pay the bills.

00:18:11.179 --> 00:18:12.220
 On the other hand,

00:18:12.299 --> 00:18:14.519
 Work can become an all-consuming God.

00:18:14.619 --> 00:18:17.980
 I am because I have this particular job.

00:18:17.980 --> 00:18:23.180
 So again, the question that the teacher in Ecclesiastes

00:18:23.180 --> 00:18:24.860
 Is bringing to us is,

00:18:24.860 --> 00:18:27.339
 What do we do when we recognize

00:18:27.339 --> 00:18:29.140
 And when we feel that the world is broken?

00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:30.160
 And here particularly,

00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:31.680
 How do we work

00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:34.240
 When the world is broken?

00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:39.079
 Just as a sidebar,

00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:41.779
 We're going to see that our author says,

00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:43.319
 In light of oppression and injustice,

00:18:43.500 --> 00:18:45.079
 We are to work quietly.

00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:47.720
 But we know when we read the Bible,

00:18:47.779 --> 00:18:49.420
 That's not all that the Bible has to say

00:18:49.420 --> 00:18:52.279
 About our response to oppression and injustice.

00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:54.339
 Read the Old Testament prophets,

00:18:54.660 --> 00:18:55.359
 Read Jesus,

00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:56.200
 And you discover,

00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:57.980
 Very clearly,

00:18:58.120 --> 00:19:00.200
 God believes that injustice and greed and oppression

00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:02.099
 Should be fought against.

00:19:02.099 --> 00:19:04.619
 It is right for us to support

00:19:04.619 --> 00:19:08.159
 Organizations that look to bring help

00:19:08.159 --> 00:19:09.879
 And to speak against injustice.

00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:11.899
 It's right for us to support organizations

00:19:11.899 --> 00:19:14.399
 That speak for the suffering church also.

00:19:15.099 --> 00:19:15.779
 Barnabas Fund,

00:19:15.879 --> 00:19:16.339
 Open Doors,

00:19:16.459 --> 00:19:17.740
 International Justice Mission,

00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:19.079
 It's right and proper.

00:19:19.419 --> 00:19:20.159
 Where possible,

00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:21.759
 The Christian church should work

00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:24.179
 To challenge and to end injustice.

00:19:24.379 --> 00:19:27.159
 We should be a voice for the voiceless.

00:19:28.699 --> 00:19:31.839
 But that's an important sermon for another day.

00:19:32.859 --> 00:19:33.459
 Today,

00:19:33.859 --> 00:19:36.339
 Our teacher makes a more narrow point

00:19:36.339 --> 00:19:38.919
 To say that because we live

00:19:38.919 --> 00:19:41.039
 In a wicked and broken world,

00:19:41.219 --> 00:19:43.059
 We should work quietly

00:19:43.059 --> 00:19:46.139
 Enjoying that work as a gift from God.

00:19:48.439 --> 00:19:49.699
 So let's begin

00:19:49.699 --> 00:19:52.019
 By joining him

00:19:52.019 --> 00:19:53.859
 In considering the reality

00:19:53.859 --> 00:19:55.699
 Of a wicked world.

00:19:55.819 --> 00:19:56.819
 So by now,

00:19:56.899 --> 00:19:57.980
 If you've been with us for a few weeks,

00:19:58.039 --> 00:19:59.599
 You'll know our teacher in Ecclesiastes,

00:19:59.779 --> 00:20:01.000
 He's not a cynic.

00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:03.400
 But he is a realist.

00:20:03.859 --> 00:20:05.980
 He is someone who is probing

00:20:05.980 --> 00:20:08.319
 The complexities of life deeply.

00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:11.059
 And he is doing it from that perspective

00:20:11.059 --> 00:20:12.740
 Of life under the sun.

00:20:13.059 --> 00:20:14.640
 Thinking about a world view

00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:17.039
 That by and large ignores God

00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:18.779
 And ignores the reality of eternity.

00:20:18.779 --> 00:20:22.399
 And we have three observations

00:20:22.399 --> 00:20:23.720
 That point to the reality

00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:25.139
 Of a wicked world in our text.

00:20:25.579 --> 00:20:26.740
 The first thing he observes

00:20:26.740 --> 00:20:28.500
 Is in chapter 3, verse 16,

00:20:28.500 --> 00:20:30.359
 I saw something else

00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:31.139
 Under the sun.

00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:32.980
 In the place of judgment,

00:20:33.180 --> 00:20:34.079
 Wickedness was there.

00:20:34.460 --> 00:20:35.960
 In the place of justice,

00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:37.500
 Wickedness was there.

00:20:37.500 --> 00:20:40.079
 You have perhaps seen

00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:41.299
 The iconic statue

00:20:41.299 --> 00:20:42.319
 Of Lady Justice

00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:44.680
 On the old Bailey High Court

00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:45.700
 Down in London.

00:20:46.319 --> 00:20:47.160
 Lady Justice

00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:49.220
 With her eyes blindfolded

00:20:49.220 --> 00:20:50.579
 With the scales of justice

00:20:50.579 --> 00:20:51.099
 In her hand

00:20:51.099 --> 00:20:52.759
 With the double-edged sword

00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:54.799
 Of justice in the other hand.

00:20:56.299 --> 00:20:57.680
 The imagery there

00:20:57.680 --> 00:20:59.359
 Intended to project the idea

00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:00.460
 That in this court

00:21:00.460 --> 00:21:02.599
 And in the world of justice

00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:03.500
 There should be no favoritism.

00:21:04.299 --> 00:21:04.960
 That there should be

00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:06.299
 True justice for all.

00:21:06.380 --> 00:21:07.380
 That's the ideal.

00:21:09.340 --> 00:21:10.240
 But sadly,

00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:11.400
 And our teacher is seeing it

00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:12.680
 All too often,

00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:16.360
 Justice turns a blind eye

00:21:16.360 --> 00:21:18.319
 To the needs of the weak

00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:19.200
 And the marginalized.

00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:21.539
 All too often,

00:21:21.700 --> 00:21:23.340
 Those responsible for justice

00:21:23.340 --> 00:21:25.000
 Have their eyes turned,

00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:26.819
 Perhaps because of bribery

00:21:26.819 --> 00:21:27.460
 And corruption,

00:21:28.120 --> 00:21:29.539
 To favor the powerful.

00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:33.019
 And so injustice continues.

00:21:33.019 --> 00:21:35.079
 And now as people,

00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:35.920
 Because we're made

00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:36.779
 In the image of God

00:21:36.779 --> 00:21:37.680
 And we are made

00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:38.440
 In the image of a God

00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:39.599
 Who is perfectly just,

00:21:39.660 --> 00:21:41.759
 We have that love of justice,

00:21:41.900 --> 00:21:43.799
 That longing for justice,

00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:46.420
 But we understand

00:21:46.420 --> 00:21:47.980
 That injustice continues.

00:21:49.299 --> 00:21:50.059
 And whether we're thinking

00:21:50.059 --> 00:21:51.559
 About the suffering in Ukraine

00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:52.680
 Or we're thinking about

00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:54.359
 The suffering in the global church,

00:21:54.359 --> 00:21:57.740
 We see wickedness and injustice.

00:21:58.819 --> 00:22:00.839
 That's not all our teacher sees.

00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:02.439
 Chapter 4,

00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:03.379
 Verse 1 to 3,

00:22:03.459 --> 00:22:04.899
 He also sees oppression

00:22:04.899 --> 00:22:07.159
 And isolation.

00:22:08.059 --> 00:22:08.359
 Again,

00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:09.419
 I looked and saw

00:22:09.419 --> 00:22:10.439
 All the oppression

00:22:10.439 --> 00:22:11.339
 That was taking place

00:22:11.339 --> 00:22:12.059
 Under the sun.

00:22:13.059 --> 00:22:14.639
 I saw the tears of the oppressed

00:22:14.639 --> 00:22:16.019
 And they have no comforter.

00:22:16.699 --> 00:22:17.839
 Power was on the side

00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:18.699
 Of their oppressors

00:22:18.699 --> 00:22:21.259
 And they have no comforter.

00:22:22.539 --> 00:22:23.259
 And notice again,

00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:24.419
 He's observing this life

00:22:24.419 --> 00:22:25.240
 Under the sun.

00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:26.959
 And in this life under the sun,

00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:27.439
 Where we're just thinking

00:22:27.439 --> 00:22:28.500
 About me and the moment

00:22:28.500 --> 00:22:29.379
 And not about eternity,

00:22:29.380 --> 00:22:30.420
 There is that drive

00:22:30.420 --> 00:22:31.340
 For getting everything

00:22:31.340 --> 00:22:32.840
 That we can now.

00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:34.480
 And so power-hungry people

00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:36.100
 Will always have that tendency

00:22:36.100 --> 00:22:37.440
 Towards oppression.

00:22:38.860 --> 00:22:40.080
 And so we're presented

00:22:40.080 --> 00:22:41.560
 With this sad picture

00:22:41.560 --> 00:22:43.140
 Of the tears

00:22:43.140 --> 00:22:44.920
 Of the oppressed

00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:45.740
 With no one

00:22:45.740 --> 00:22:46.880
 To provide comfort.

00:22:47.580 --> 00:22:48.380
 The powerless

00:22:48.380 --> 00:22:49.660
 Are victimized

00:22:49.660 --> 00:22:50.880
 And they are isolated

00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:52.260
 From any source of help.

00:22:52.259 --> 00:22:56.519
 Hasn't this been so painful

00:22:56.519 --> 00:22:57.879
 To see and to witness

00:22:57.879 --> 00:22:58.680
 This week

00:22:58.680 --> 00:23:00.400
 Are those pleas

00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:01.200
 For help

00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:02.220
 Coming out of Ukraine

00:23:02.220 --> 00:23:04.839
 Seeing children's hospitals

00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:06.319
 Having to move underground

00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:09.240
 Seeing those brutal war tactics

00:23:09.240 --> 00:23:10.599
 Day after day

00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:14.019
 And there is no way

00:23:14.019 --> 00:23:14.759
 To help.

00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:17.799
 Think about the personal stories

00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:19.220
 That we know in the workplace.

00:23:19.220 --> 00:23:22.000
 Perhaps you have suffered from

00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:22.900
 Or you know someone

00:23:22.900 --> 00:23:23.779
 Who suffered from

00:23:23.779 --> 00:23:25.279
 Workplace bullying.

00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:27.900
 Perhaps you have experienced

00:23:27.900 --> 00:23:29.180
 Horrible bosses

00:23:29.180 --> 00:23:30.819
 Or difficult colleagues.

00:23:32.259 --> 00:23:33.880
 And you've seen others suffer

00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:34.799
 And so often

00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:36.799
 We recognize the oppression

00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:37.980
 But we are powerless

00:23:37.980 --> 00:23:40.160
 To bring change.

00:23:42.500 --> 00:23:45.740
 Our teacher has a sliding scale

00:23:45.740 --> 00:23:46.579
 Of happiness

00:23:46.579 --> 00:23:48.319
 In verses 2 and 3

00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:50.899
 Where he says

00:23:50.899 --> 00:23:52.419
 Because of all the evil

00:23:52.419 --> 00:23:53.220
 That's happening in the world

00:23:53.220 --> 00:23:54.279
 The dead are better off

00:23:54.279 --> 00:23:54.759
 Than the living

00:23:54.759 --> 00:23:55.919
 Because they're done

00:23:55.919 --> 00:23:56.859
 With having to witness

00:23:56.859 --> 00:23:57.619
 All the oppression

00:23:57.619 --> 00:23:58.619
 But best off

00:23:58.619 --> 00:24:00.579
 Are the unborn

00:24:00.579 --> 00:24:01.500
 Because they haven't come

00:24:01.500 --> 00:24:02.199
 To discover

00:24:02.199 --> 00:24:04.419
 Just how much oppression

00:24:04.419 --> 00:24:05.599
 Goes on in the world.

00:24:08.879 --> 00:24:10.599
 The third observation

00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:12.559
 Third reality of life

00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:13.419
 In a wicked world

00:24:13.419 --> 00:24:15.539
 Chapter 4 verse 4

00:24:15.539 --> 00:24:17.759
 Envy and toil

00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:19.779
 I saw that all the toil

00:24:19.779 --> 00:24:20.819
 And all achievement

00:24:20.819 --> 00:24:22.740
 Spring from one person's

00:24:22.740 --> 00:24:23.940
 Envy of another

00:24:23.940 --> 00:24:25.700
 This too is meaningless

00:24:25.700 --> 00:24:26.960
 A chasing after the wind.

00:24:27.180 --> 00:24:28.779
 Now not everybody sees this

00:24:28.779 --> 00:24:29.440
 As a negative.

00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:30.460
 There's an economist

00:24:30.460 --> 00:24:31.940
 By the name of

00:24:31.940 --> 00:24:32.920
 Gregory Rodriguez

00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:34.899
 Who would argue that

00:24:34.899 --> 00:24:36.319
 Envy drives

00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:37.539
 Economic aspiration.

00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:39.960
 Envy drives

00:24:39.960 --> 00:24:41.299
 Economic activity.

00:24:41.879 --> 00:24:43.000
 So he writes papers

00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:44.319
 Arguing that it's beneficial

00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:46.759
 In a competitive society

00:24:46.759 --> 00:24:48.599
 That people and businesses

00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:49.759
 Have envy.

00:24:49.919 --> 00:24:50.919
 We're driven by

00:24:50.919 --> 00:24:51.980
 Well I see the position

00:24:51.980 --> 00:24:52.799
 Of that company

00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:54.240
 And I want my company

00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:54.799
 To get there

00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:55.899
 So I'm going to work hard

00:24:55.899 --> 00:24:56.639
 To level up.

00:24:57.480 --> 00:24:59.259
 Or I see what my colleague

00:24:59.259 --> 00:24:59.919
 Has achieved

00:24:59.919 --> 00:25:00.460
 And I see

00:25:00.460 --> 00:25:02.399
 The car that he's bought

00:25:02.399 --> 00:25:03.159
 And the house that he's bought

00:25:03.159 --> 00:25:04.079
 And the success that he's had

00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:04.679
 So I'm going to work

00:25:04.679 --> 00:25:05.839
 All the harder

00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:07.539
 Driven by envy

00:25:07.539 --> 00:25:09.299
 To get to that position.

00:25:09.439 --> 00:25:09.879
 Our teacher

00:25:09.879 --> 00:25:11.259
 Doesn't see it as a positive.

00:25:11.259 --> 00:25:13.200
 The Bible doesn't see

00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:14.160
 Envy as a positive.

00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:16.359
 Because the natural tendency

00:25:16.359 --> 00:25:18.660
 Isn't for us to level up

00:25:18.660 --> 00:25:20.500
 It's for us to want to tear

00:25:20.500 --> 00:25:22.480
 The other down.

00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:24.680
 To step on others

00:25:24.680 --> 00:25:25.779
 To get ahead.

00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:27.319
 Envy will always tend

00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:29.039
 To be self-seeking.

00:25:29.180 --> 00:25:30.579
 It will tend to compare

00:25:30.579 --> 00:25:31.799
 And compete.

00:25:32.299 --> 00:25:34.839
 Therefore not be content.

00:25:34.839 --> 00:25:38.500
 Our author says

00:25:38.500 --> 00:25:40.939
 This is not a positive way

00:25:40.939 --> 00:25:41.799
 To live.

00:25:42.379 --> 00:25:43.659
 He says it's vanity.

00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:46.919
 It's a chasing after the wind.

00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:49.619
 We can spend all of our time

00:25:49.619 --> 00:25:52.539
 Toiling for the latest toy.

00:25:53.459 --> 00:25:54.259
 But our teacher says

00:25:54.259 --> 00:25:56.199
 That's never going to satisfy.

00:25:57.799 --> 00:25:59.099
 Working and working and working

00:25:59.099 --> 00:26:00.119
 To try and keep up

00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:01.259
 Or to get ahead

00:26:01.259 --> 00:26:03.059
 Will not bring

00:26:03.059 --> 00:26:05.220
 Lasting ultimate joy

00:26:05.220 --> 00:26:06.059
 And gain.

00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:06.980
 Rather

00:26:06.980 --> 00:26:08.359
 It's working

00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:09.599
 For the wind.

00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:11.940
 Keeps pushing us

00:26:11.940 --> 00:26:12.900
 To reflect on

00:26:12.900 --> 00:26:14.059
 Ultimate things.

00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:16.099
 Our work will not save

00:26:16.099 --> 00:26:16.779
 And satisfy

00:26:16.779 --> 00:26:17.420
 Beyond

00:26:17.420 --> 00:26:18.460
 Death.

00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:20.400
 So our teacher

00:26:20.400 --> 00:26:22.319
 Gives us once again

00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:23.720
 A healthy dose of realism.

00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:25.940
 And it's helpful for us

00:26:25.940 --> 00:26:26.259
 Because

00:26:26.259 --> 00:26:27.879
 Here we are reminded

00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:29.480
 And maybe especially

00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:30.540
 For us in the church

00:26:30.540 --> 00:26:31.660
 We're not expected

00:26:31.660 --> 00:26:32.360
 To say

00:26:32.360 --> 00:26:34.260
 Everything is okay

00:26:34.260 --> 00:26:36.060
 Because clearly

00:26:36.060 --> 00:26:37.740
 Everything is not okay

00:26:37.740 --> 00:26:40.740
 With our teacher

00:26:40.740 --> 00:26:41.680
 We are invited

00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:42.520
 To grieve

00:26:42.520 --> 00:26:43.700
 What is lost

00:26:43.700 --> 00:26:45.200
 And what is broken

00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:48.980
 We're invited

00:26:48.980 --> 00:26:50.820
 To reflect

00:26:50.820 --> 00:26:51.720
 And to see

00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:52.820
 That sometimes

00:26:52.820 --> 00:26:55.780
 The reality of wickedness

00:26:55.780 --> 00:26:56.440
 And injustice

00:26:56.440 --> 00:26:57.100
 In our world

00:26:57.099 --> 00:26:58.279
 Can become almost

00:26:58.279 --> 00:27:00.079
 Unbearable for us

00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:02.740
 I wonder

00:27:02.740 --> 00:27:03.859
 If

00:27:03.859 --> 00:27:04.839
 With all the

00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:05.919
 Media coverage

00:27:05.919 --> 00:27:06.480
 Of the war

00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:07.439
 You felt the need

00:27:07.439 --> 00:27:08.759
 To switch off

00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:09.619
 Because it's just

00:27:09.619 --> 00:27:11.159
 Felt too much

00:27:11.159 --> 00:27:13.599
 To distract ourselves

00:27:13.599 --> 00:27:14.959
 Just for a little

00:27:14.959 --> 00:27:17.339
 Because it's almost

00:27:17.339 --> 00:27:19.039
 Overwhelming us

00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:22.079
 We feel that

00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:22.439
 As Christians

00:27:22.439 --> 00:27:23.199
 What we should do

00:27:23.199 --> 00:27:24.059
 I guess as Christians

00:27:24.059 --> 00:27:24.480
 Is to

00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:25.659
 If we're going to

00:27:25.659 --> 00:27:26.099
 Turn away

00:27:26.099 --> 00:27:26.779
 We turn away

00:27:26.779 --> 00:27:27.279
 To take it

00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:27.679
 To God

00:27:27.679 --> 00:27:28.139
 In prayer

00:27:28.139 --> 00:27:28.519
 That's our

00:27:28.519 --> 00:27:29.480
 Best response

00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:30.099
 When we feel

00:27:30.099 --> 00:27:30.679
 Overwhelmed

00:27:30.679 --> 00:27:31.279
 Is to take it

00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:32.139
 To the God

00:27:32.139 --> 00:27:33.079
 Who's on the throne

00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:35.299
 But to look

00:27:35.299 --> 00:27:36.679
 At our news

00:27:36.679 --> 00:27:37.379
 To look at

00:27:37.379 --> 00:27:38.079
 Our circumstances

00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:38.639
 And to look at

00:27:38.639 --> 00:27:39.259
 Ecclesiastes

00:27:39.259 --> 00:27:40.240
 Is to be reminded

00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:40.859
 As well

00:27:40.859 --> 00:27:42.839
 The reality

00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:43.339
 That the heart

00:27:43.339 --> 00:27:43.819
 Of the problem

00:27:43.819 --> 00:27:44.399
 Is the problem

00:27:44.399 --> 00:27:45.359
 Of the human heart

00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:46.819
 That's true

00:27:46.819 --> 00:27:46.839
 That's true

00:27:46.839 --> 00:27:46.859
 That's true

00:27:46.859 --> 00:27:47.500
 In our warfare

00:27:47.500 --> 00:27:48.099
 And that's true

00:27:48.099 --> 00:27:48.979
 In our workplaces

00:27:48.979 --> 00:27:49.519
 As well

00:27:49.519 --> 00:27:52.659
 So he presents us

00:27:52.659 --> 00:27:53.240
 With the reality

00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:53.979
 Of a wicked world

00:27:53.979 --> 00:27:55.179
 But he also

00:27:55.179 --> 00:27:56.399
 Speaks to us

00:27:56.399 --> 00:27:56.959
 About how we can

00:27:56.959 --> 00:27:57.799
 Learn to work

00:27:57.799 --> 00:27:58.539
 Wisely

00:27:58.539 --> 00:28:00.279
 In that reality

00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:02.399
 So let's move there

00:28:02.399 --> 00:28:03.359
 Let's think about

00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:04.279
 Learning to work

00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:05.019
 Wisely

00:28:05.019 --> 00:28:07.219
 And again

00:28:07.219 --> 00:28:07.939
 To recognise

00:28:07.939 --> 00:28:08.519
 The time

00:28:08.519 --> 00:28:09.159
 That we find

00:28:09.159 --> 00:28:10.039
 Ourselves in

00:28:10.039 --> 00:28:10.500
 Because these

00:28:10.500 --> 00:28:12.219
 Last two years

00:28:12.220 --> 00:28:13.160
 For the first time

00:28:13.160 --> 00:28:13.839
 In a long time

00:28:13.839 --> 00:28:14.120
 I suppose

00:28:14.120 --> 00:28:15.039
 Have disrupted

00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:16.220
 All of our

00:28:16.220 --> 00:28:17.180
 Normal work

00:28:17.180 --> 00:28:18.059
 Practices

00:28:18.059 --> 00:28:19.900
 Now most of us

00:28:19.900 --> 00:28:20.460
 Will find

00:28:20.460 --> 00:28:21.460
 That we have

00:28:21.460 --> 00:28:22.279
 A new relation

00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:23.480
 To our office

00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:24.039
 Spaces

00:28:24.039 --> 00:28:25.019
 To our colleagues

00:28:25.019 --> 00:28:26.360
 And to our homes

00:28:26.360 --> 00:28:27.279
 Because of

00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:28.880
 Hybrid working

00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:31.059
 Many of the

00:28:31.059 --> 00:28:31.900
 Places where we

00:28:31.900 --> 00:28:32.920
 Work will be

00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:33.559
 Dealing with

00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:34.519
 Ongoing human

00:28:34.519 --> 00:28:35.660
 Resource issues

00:28:35.660 --> 00:28:36.759
 Because of

00:28:36.759 --> 00:28:37.819
 Pandemic

00:28:37.819 --> 00:28:39.420
 And perhaps

00:28:39.420 --> 00:28:40.180
 These last two

00:28:40.180 --> 00:28:40.480
 Years

00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:41.559
 The effect of that

00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:42.299
 In part has been

00:28:42.299 --> 00:28:43.099
 To change our

00:28:43.099 --> 00:28:44.079
 View of working

00:28:44.079 --> 00:28:45.700
 To change our

00:28:45.700 --> 00:28:46.980
 Understanding of

00:28:46.980 --> 00:28:48.139
 Our role

00:28:48.139 --> 00:28:49.319
 And how to

00:28:49.319 --> 00:28:50.559
 Perform that role

00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:51.240
 Or even

00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:52.919
 Why to bother

00:28:52.919 --> 00:28:53.399
 And then

00:28:53.399 --> 00:28:54.539
 You put on top

00:28:54.539 --> 00:28:54.819
 Of that

00:28:54.819 --> 00:28:55.299
 What we've been

00:28:55.299 --> 00:28:55.899
 Watching in the

00:28:55.899 --> 00:28:56.980
 Last two weeks

00:28:56.980 --> 00:28:58.539
 As we've watched

00:28:58.539 --> 00:28:59.159
 This horror

00:28:59.159 --> 00:29:00.579
 Unfold

00:29:00.579 --> 00:29:01.159
 And it's been

00:29:01.159 --> 00:29:02.279
 Both distressing

00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:04.000
 And distracting

00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:04.940
 Perhaps we find

00:29:04.940 --> 00:29:05.559
 Ourselves just

00:29:05.559 --> 00:29:06.139
 Throwing our hands

00:29:06.139 --> 00:29:06.679
 At what is

00:29:06.679 --> 00:29:07.220
 Happening

00:29:07.220 --> 00:29:08.399
 Why bother

00:29:08.399 --> 00:29:09.359
 With my

00:29:09.359 --> 00:29:10.339
 Little piece of

00:29:10.339 --> 00:29:10.700
 Work

00:29:10.700 --> 00:29:11.519
 In light of

00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:11.960
 What's going

00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:12.960
 On in

00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:14.039
 The world

00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:17.059
 Well

00:29:17.059 --> 00:29:18.299
 Into that

00:29:18.299 --> 00:29:18.819
 Reality

00:29:18.819 --> 00:29:19.779
 Speaks our

00:29:19.779 --> 00:29:20.279
 Teacher

00:29:20.279 --> 00:29:21.860
 And in this

00:29:21.860 --> 00:29:22.360
 Text we can

00:29:22.360 --> 00:29:23.220
 Identify four

00:29:23.220 --> 00:29:24.019
 Pieces of

00:29:24.019 --> 00:29:24.660
 Wisdom

00:29:24.660 --> 00:29:25.940
 To help us

00:29:25.940 --> 00:29:26.519
 To walk and

00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:27.420
 Work wisely

00:29:27.420 --> 00:29:27.960
 In our

00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:29.140
 Present times

00:29:29.140 --> 00:29:30.660
 For us as

00:29:30.660 --> 00:29:31.319
 Christians to

00:29:31.319 --> 00:29:31.920
 Know how to

00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:32.740
 Work wisely

00:29:32.740 --> 00:29:33.620
 Under God

00:29:33.620 --> 00:29:34.600
 In light of

00:29:34.600 --> 00:29:35.180
 The times we

00:29:35.180 --> 00:29:35.960
 Find ourselves

00:29:35.960 --> 00:29:36.299
 In

00:29:36.299 --> 00:29:38.559
 The first

00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:39.539
 Piece of

00:29:39.539 --> 00:29:40.059
 Wisdom

00:29:40.059 --> 00:29:41.079
 We find in

00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:42.059
 Verse 17

00:29:42.059 --> 00:29:44.019
 Take heart

00:29:44.019 --> 00:29:45.759
 God is

00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:46.460
 Just

00:29:46.460 --> 00:29:49.599
 What does the

00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:50.220
 Teacher do

00:29:50.220 --> 00:29:50.859
 When he sees

00:29:50.859 --> 00:29:51.559
 Wickedness

00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:51.899
 When there

00:29:51.899 --> 00:29:52.259
 Should be

00:29:52.259 --> 00:29:52.700
 Justice

00:29:52.700 --> 00:29:54.259
 I said

00:29:54.259 --> 00:29:55.039
 To myself

00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:56.399
 God will

00:29:56.399 --> 00:29:57.059
 Bring into

00:29:57.059 --> 00:29:57.639
 Judgment

00:29:57.639 --> 00:29:58.720
 Both the

00:29:58.720 --> 00:29:59.339
 Righteous

00:29:59.339 --> 00:29:59.859
 And the

00:29:59.859 --> 00:30:00.279
 Wicked

00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:01.159
 For there

00:30:01.159 --> 00:30:01.879
 Will be a

00:30:01.879 --> 00:30:02.659
 Time for

00:30:02.659 --> 00:30:03.659
 Every activity

00:30:03.660 --> 00:30:05.380
 A time to

00:30:05.380 --> 00:30:05.880
 Judge

00:30:05.880 --> 00:30:07.680
 Every deed

00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:10.600
 When we

00:30:10.600 --> 00:30:11.080
 Think about

00:30:11.080 --> 00:30:11.640
 War

00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:13.380
 When we

00:30:13.380 --> 00:30:13.779
 Think about

00:30:13.779 --> 00:30:14.740
 Injustice

00:30:14.740 --> 00:30:15.400
 Whether that's

00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:15.920
 On a global

00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:16.620
 Scale or a

00:30:16.620 --> 00:30:17.460
 Personal scale

00:30:17.460 --> 00:30:18.779
 What we

00:30:18.779 --> 00:30:19.620
 Find ourselves

00:30:19.620 --> 00:30:20.759
 Longing for

00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:22.580
 Is a

00:30:22.580 --> 00:30:23.279
 Strongman

00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:25.200
 Someone who

00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:25.880
 Can come

00:30:25.880 --> 00:30:26.680
 And right

00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:27.800
 Those wrongs

00:30:27.800 --> 00:30:28.900
 Someone who

00:30:28.900 --> 00:30:29.519
 Is going to

00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:30.519
 Come and

00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:31.460
 Deal with

00:30:31.460 --> 00:30:32.000
 The evil

00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:34.740
 And you

00:30:34.740 --> 00:30:34.900
 Know the

00:30:34.900 --> 00:30:35.680
 Bible reminds

00:30:35.680 --> 00:30:36.380
 Us over

00:30:36.380 --> 00:30:36.660
 And over

00:30:36.660 --> 00:30:37.119
 Again this

00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:37.799
 Strongman

00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:38.920
 Is coming

00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:40.119
 And his

00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:41.259
 Name is

00:30:41.259 --> 00:30:41.880
 Jesus

00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:44.339
 Acts 17

00:30:44.339 --> 00:30:45.400
 Verse 31

00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:46.640
 For God

00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:47.380
 Has set a

00:30:47.380 --> 00:30:47.859
 Day when he

00:30:47.859 --> 00:30:48.400
 Will judge

00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:48.920
 The world

00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:50.000
 With justice

00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:51.059
 By the

00:30:51.059 --> 00:30:51.559
 Man he

00:30:51.559 --> 00:30:52.299
 Has appointed

00:30:52.299 --> 00:30:53.299
 He has

00:30:53.299 --> 00:30:53.960
 Given proof

00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:54.400
 Of this

00:30:54.400 --> 00:30:55.220
 To everyone

00:30:55.220 --> 00:30:56.559
 By raising

00:30:56.559 --> 00:30:57.059
 Him from

00:30:57.059 --> 00:30:57.440
 The dead

00:30:57.440 --> 00:30:57.819
 Jesus

00:30:57.819 --> 00:30:58.359
 The risen

00:30:58.359 --> 00:30:58.720
 From the

00:30:58.720 --> 00:30:58.940
 Dead

00:30:58.940 --> 00:30:59.380
 Savior

00:30:59.380 --> 00:31:00.539
 Is the

00:31:00.539 --> 00:31:00.900
 Judge

00:31:00.900 --> 00:31:01.240
 Who will

00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:01.559
 Bring

00:31:01.559 --> 00:31:02.319
 Justice

00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:03.359
 To the

00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:03.639
 Earth

00:31:03.639 --> 00:31:03.919
 There is

00:31:03.919 --> 00:31:04.579
 A promise

00:31:04.579 --> 00:31:05.200
 In the

00:31:05.200 --> 00:31:05.500
 Bible

00:31:05.500 --> 00:31:05.859
 That the

00:31:05.859 --> 00:31:06.179
 Judge

00:31:06.179 --> 00:31:06.539
 Of all

00:31:06.539 --> 00:31:06.720
 The

00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:06.960
 Earth

00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:07.319
 Will

00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:07.940
 Do

00:31:07.940 --> 00:31:08.720
 Right

00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:10.679
 Injustice

00:31:10.679 --> 00:31:11.179
 And evil

00:31:11.179 --> 00:31:12.179
 Will give

00:31:12.179 --> 00:31:12.619
 Way

00:31:12.619 --> 00:31:13.559
 And will

00:31:13.559 --> 00:31:13.980
 Be

00:31:13.980 --> 00:31:14.879
 Answered

00:31:14.879 --> 00:31:15.319
 For

00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:18.139
 But

00:31:18.139 --> 00:31:21.259
 That good

00:31:21.259 --> 00:31:22.220
 That justice

00:31:22.220 --> 00:31:23.259
 May not win

00:31:23.259 --> 00:31:24.019
 In our

00:31:24.019 --> 00:31:24.659
 Lifetime

00:31:24.659 --> 00:31:26.960
 And that's

00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:27.279
 A hard

00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:27.759
 Reality

00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:29.379
 But it

00:31:29.379 --> 00:31:29.919
 Will win

00:31:29.919 --> 00:31:30.220
 In the

00:31:30.220 --> 00:31:30.619
 End

00:31:30.619 --> 00:31:31.459
 At the

00:31:31.459 --> 00:31:31.839
 Return

00:31:31.839 --> 00:31:32.139
 Of the

00:31:32.139 --> 00:31:32.339
 Lord

00:31:32.339 --> 00:31:32.719
 Jesus

00:31:32.719 --> 00:31:34.039
 And that's

00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:34.459
 The hope

00:31:34.459 --> 00:31:34.779
 That we

00:31:34.779 --> 00:31:35.159
 Need

00:31:35.159 --> 00:31:35.879
 To hold

00:31:35.879 --> 00:31:36.439
 On to

00:31:36.439 --> 00:31:38.479
 Of course

00:31:38.479 --> 00:31:39.099
 That presents

00:31:39.099 --> 00:31:39.599
 A challenge

00:31:39.599 --> 00:31:40.119
 Why is there

00:31:40.119 --> 00:31:40.739
 Not justice

00:31:40.739 --> 00:31:41.019
 Now

00:31:41.019 --> 00:31:41.419
 Why is

00:31:41.419 --> 00:31:41.939
 Justice

00:31:41.939 --> 00:31:42.500
 The justice

00:31:42.500 --> 00:31:43.019
 Of God

00:31:43.019 --> 00:31:43.339
 Not

00:31:43.339 --> 00:31:44.119
 Immediate

00:31:44.119 --> 00:31:46.119
 And the

00:31:46.119 --> 00:31:46.819
 Bible has

00:31:46.819 --> 00:31:48.419
 Some responses

00:31:48.419 --> 00:31:48.859
 To that

00:31:48.859 --> 00:31:49.459
 While obviously

00:31:49.459 --> 00:31:49.799
 There's an

00:31:49.799 --> 00:31:50.419
 Element of

00:31:50.419 --> 00:31:51.659
 Mystery there

00:31:51.659 --> 00:31:52.159
 Also

00:31:52.159 --> 00:31:53.919
 We can think

00:31:53.919 --> 00:31:54.239
 About the

00:31:54.239 --> 00:31:54.839
 Patience

00:31:54.839 --> 00:31:55.500
 Of God

00:31:55.500 --> 00:31:57.119
 The Bible

00:31:57.119 --> 00:31:57.519
 Speaks

00:31:57.519 --> 00:31:58.180
 About God's

00:31:58.180 --> 00:31:58.740
 Patience

00:31:58.740 --> 00:31:59.660
 In holding

00:31:59.660 --> 00:32:00.420
 Back mercy

00:32:00.420 --> 00:32:00.779
 In order

00:32:00.779 --> 00:32:01.319
 To give

00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:01.859
 Us a

00:32:01.859 --> 00:32:02.259
 Chance

00:32:02.259 --> 00:32:03.019
 To repent

00:32:03.019 --> 00:32:04.180
 That God

00:32:04.180 --> 00:32:04.799
 Doesn't judge

00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:05.720
 Sin instantly

00:32:05.720 --> 00:32:06.579
 Is grace

00:32:06.579 --> 00:32:07.059
 For us

00:32:07.059 --> 00:32:07.619
 Because we

00:32:07.619 --> 00:32:07.980
 Too

00:32:07.980 --> 00:32:08.740
 Would

00:32:08.740 --> 00:32:09.559
 Deserve

00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:10.660
 Judgment

00:32:10.660 --> 00:32:11.299
 That we

00:32:11.299 --> 00:32:11.619
 Have an

00:32:11.619 --> 00:32:12.380
 Opportunity

00:32:12.380 --> 00:32:13.420
 To turn

00:32:13.420 --> 00:32:13.839
 And find

00:32:13.839 --> 00:32:14.500
 Salvation

00:32:14.500 --> 00:32:15.019
 Is a

00:32:15.019 --> 00:32:15.380
 Gift

00:32:15.380 --> 00:32:16.140
 Of God

00:32:16.140 --> 00:32:16.599
 That flows

00:32:16.599 --> 00:32:16.960
 From his

00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:17.380
 Mercy

00:32:17.380 --> 00:32:18.339
 And his

00:32:18.339 --> 00:32:19.279
 Patience

00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:21.960
 Another

00:32:21.960 --> 00:32:22.539
 Partial

00:32:22.539 --> 00:32:22.960
 Answer

00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:23.500
 To why

00:32:23.500 --> 00:32:23.879
 Justice

00:32:23.879 --> 00:32:24.180
 Isn't

00:32:24.180 --> 00:32:24.440
 Now

00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:24.759
 Is

00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:25.960
 God's

00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:26.579
 Providence

00:32:26.579 --> 00:32:26.940
 We can

00:32:26.940 --> 00:32:27.460
 Trust in

00:32:27.460 --> 00:32:27.700
 God's

00:32:27.700 --> 00:32:27.960
 Providence

00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:28.160
 We're

00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:28.500
 Thinking about

00:32:28.500 --> 00:32:28.700
 This

00:32:28.700 --> 00:32:29.039
 Tonight

00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:29.759
 We

00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:30.460
 Trust in

00:32:30.460 --> 00:32:30.819
 A God

00:32:30.819 --> 00:32:31.099
 Who is

00:32:31.099 --> 00:32:31.399
 Able

00:32:31.399 --> 00:32:31.859
 To bring

00:32:31.859 --> 00:32:32.359
 Good

00:32:32.359 --> 00:32:33.119
 From

00:32:33.119 --> 00:32:34.099
 Evil

00:32:34.099 --> 00:32:36.819
 And you

00:32:36.819 --> 00:32:37.160
 Know that's

00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:37.480
 Even been

00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:38.039
 The testimony

00:32:38.039 --> 00:32:38.460
 From the

00:32:38.460 --> 00:32:38.920
 Church in

00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:39.399
 Ukraine

00:32:39.399 --> 00:32:41.220
 That they're

00:32:41.220 --> 00:32:41.519
 Struggling

00:32:41.519 --> 00:32:42.059
 To keep up

00:32:42.059 --> 00:32:42.299
 With the

00:32:42.299 --> 00:32:42.680
 Demand

00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:42.899
 For

00:32:42.899 --> 00:32:43.399
 Bibles

00:32:43.399 --> 00:32:44.399
 The

00:32:44.399 --> 00:32:44.660
 People

00:32:44.660 --> 00:32:44.819
 That

00:32:44.819 --> 00:32:45.200
 Previously

00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:45.639
 Had no

00:32:45.639 --> 00:32:46.039
 Spiritual

00:32:46.039 --> 00:32:46.460
 Interest

00:32:46.460 --> 00:32:46.779
 Are now

00:32:46.779 --> 00:32:47.139
 Asking

00:32:47.139 --> 00:32:47.359
 Lots

00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:47.480
 Of

00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:47.819
 Questions

00:32:47.819 --> 00:32:48.099
 About

00:32:48.099 --> 00:32:48.399
 Jesus

00:32:48.399 --> 00:32:48.619
 And

00:32:48.619 --> 00:32:48.919
 Beginning

00:32:48.919 --> 00:32:49.159
 To

00:32:49.159 --> 00:32:49.419
 Pray

00:32:49.419 --> 00:32:50.119
 And

00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:50.259
 The

00:32:50.259 --> 00:32:50.539
 Church

00:32:50.539 --> 00:32:50.719
 Is

00:32:50.719 --> 00:32:51.039
 Finding

00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:51.619
 Strength

00:32:51.619 --> 00:32:52.079
 And

00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:52.359
 People

00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:52.539
 Are

00:32:52.539 --> 00:32:52.779
 Being

00:32:52.779 --> 00:32:53.379
 Saved

00:32:53.379 --> 00:32:53.719
 Even

00:32:53.719 --> 00:32:54.099
 In

00:32:54.099 --> 00:32:54.379
 A

00:32:54.379 --> 00:32:54.639
 War

00:32:54.639 --> 00:32:55.079
 Zone

00:32:55.079 --> 00:32:56.019
 What

00:32:56.019 --> 00:32:56.239
 Is

00:32:56.239 --> 00:32:56.739
 Evil

00:32:56.739 --> 00:32:57.659
 But

00:32:57.659 --> 00:32:57.839
 God

00:32:57.839 --> 00:32:57.979
 Is

00:32:57.979 --> 00:32:58.179
 Able

00:32:58.179 --> 00:32:58.359
 To

00:32:58.359 --> 00:32:58.539
 Bring

00:32:58.539 --> 00:32:58.919
 Saving

00:32:58.919 --> 00:32:59.399
 Good

00:32:59.399 --> 00:33:00.919
 Where

00:33:00.919 --> 00:33:01.019
 Do

00:33:01.019 --> 00:33:01.139
 We

00:33:01.139 --> 00:33:01.279
 See

00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:01.459
 That

00:33:01.459 --> 00:33:01.699
 Most

00:33:01.699 --> 00:33:02.159
 Clearly

00:33:02.159 --> 00:33:02.339
 We

00:33:02.339 --> 00:33:02.539
 See

00:33:02.539 --> 00:33:02.639
 It

00:33:02.639 --> 00:33:02.859
 Most

00:33:02.859 --> 00:33:03.279
 Clearly

00:33:03.279 --> 00:33:03.439
 At

00:33:03.439 --> 00:33:03.539
 The

00:33:03.539 --> 00:33:04.119
 Cross

00:33:04.119 --> 00:33:05.579
 Wicked

00:33:05.579 --> 00:33:05.899
 Men

00:33:05.899 --> 00:33:06.159
 Nailed

00:33:06.159 --> 00:33:06.519
 Jesus

00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:07.139
 To

00:33:07.139 --> 00:33:07.319
 The

00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:07.599
 Cross

00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:07.739
 But

00:33:07.739 --> 00:33:07.859
 That

00:33:07.859 --> 00:33:08.000
 Was

00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:08.439
 God's

00:33:08.439 --> 00:33:08.919
 Design

00:33:08.919 --> 00:33:09.419
 That

00:33:09.419 --> 00:33:09.559
 We

00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:09.699
 Would

00:33:09.699 --> 00:33:09.859
 Have

00:33:09.859 --> 00:33:10.019
 A

00:33:10.019 --> 00:33:10.339
 Savior

00:33:10.339 --> 00:33:13.379
 Why

00:33:13.379 --> 00:33:13.779
 Doesn't

00:33:13.779 --> 00:33:14.139
 God

00:33:14.139 --> 00:33:14.379
 Bring

00:33:14.379 --> 00:33:14.839
 Justice

00:33:14.839 --> 00:33:15.239
 Now

00:33:15.239 --> 00:33:16.519
 We

00:33:16.519 --> 00:33:16.659
 Need

00:33:16.660 --> 00:33:16.779
 To

00:33:16.779 --> 00:33:17.019
 Trust

00:33:17.019 --> 00:33:17.200
 In

00:33:17.200 --> 00:33:17.500
 God's

00:33:17.500 --> 00:33:18.259
 Perspective

00:33:18.259 --> 00:33:20.080
 Sometimes

00:33:20.080 --> 00:33:20.340
 We

00:33:20.340 --> 00:33:20.480
 Need

00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:20.580
 To

00:33:20.580 --> 00:33:20.740
 Just

00:33:20.740 --> 00:33:20.940
 Have

00:33:20.940 --> 00:33:21.500
 Humility

00:33:21.500 --> 00:33:22.460
 And

00:33:22.460 --> 00:33:22.820
 Understand

00:33:22.820 --> 00:33:23.060
 That

00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:27.680
 Because

00:35:54.580 --> 00:35:55.100
 Why

00:35:55.100 --> 00:35:56.540

00:35:56.940 --> 00:35:57.340
 Said

00:42:23.120 --> 00:42:24.180
 Of

 Dust

00:42:27.640 --> 00:42:27.840
 To

00:42:27.840 --> 00:42:28.280
 Dust

00:42:28.280 --> 00:42:29.320
 The

00:42:30.020 --> 00:42:30.480
 That

00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:30.600
 We

00:42:30.600 --> 00:42:31.220
 Experience

00:42:31.220 --> 00:42:31.620
 In

00:42:31.620 --> 00:42:31.980
 Our

00:42:31.980 --> 00:42:33.000
 Toils

00:42:33.000 --> 00:42:36.460
 Why does

00:42:36.460 --> 00:42:36.960
 God have

00:42:36.960 --> 00:42:37.180
 It in

00:42:37.180 --> 00:42:37.280
 The

00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:37.660
 Bible

00:42:37.660 --> 00:42:39.380
 And it's

00:42:39.380 --> 00:42:39.520
 Our

00:42:39.520 --> 00:42:39.820

00:42:40.500 --> 00:42:42.320
 Surely

00:42:42.320 --> 00:42:42.540
 It's

00:42:42.540 --> 00:42:42.640
 So

00:42:42.640 --> 00:42:42.780
 We

00:42:42.780 --> 00:42:43.180
 Look

00:42:43.180 --> 00:42:43.400

00:42:45.640 --> 00:42:45.980
 Son

00:42:45.980 --> 00:42:48.519
 Surely

00:42:48.519 --> 00:42:48.699
 It's

00:42:48.699 --> 00:42:48.800
 That

00:42:48.800 --> 00:42:48.920
 We

00:42:48.920 --> 00:42:49.059

00:42:49.760 --> 00:42:49.880
