00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.679
 Heavenly Father, we come before you as people who, whether we know it or not, desperately need a touch from you.

00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:17.960
 Lord, we know that from you, many were healed when you walked this earth.

00:00:18.500 --> 00:00:21.440
 Many were cleansed when you walked this earth.

00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:26.300
 Many were relieved of oppression and possession when you walked this earth.

00:00:26.300 --> 00:00:36.039
 Lord, we are people who have professed our faith in you, and yet we still live in a broken world.

00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:42.880
 We still have our flesh that fights against the Holy Spirit that resides in us.

00:00:43.340 --> 00:00:44.320
 We still struggle.

00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:48.640
 Lord, we need a touch from you this morning, this afternoon.

00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:52.920
 Lord, would you please speak to us by your word?

00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:59.020
 Lord, minister to us by your spirit, and help us to love you and one another.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:01.719
 We pray all these things in Christ's name.

00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:02.760
 Amen.

00:01:02.980 --> 00:01:06.240
 Guys, I will nail that afternoon eventually.

00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:11.719
 It is baked inside of my being to say this morning or good morning.

00:01:12.900 --> 00:01:20.359
 Anyways, wouldn't that be wonderful if that was a big setup for, like, this opening intro to the sermon, but it's not.

00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:25.980
 So, I was talking to Christine about this.

00:01:26.039 --> 00:01:28.879
 I actually, I struggle sometimes with coming up with introductions.

00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:38.140
 But, so this was like a, this was like at the 11th hour, but I married two couples in my life.

00:01:38.460 --> 00:01:39.620
 A huge honor.

00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:47.140
 I mean, marrying and baptizing and some of those kind of big milestone moments are just wonderful.

00:01:47.140 --> 00:01:51.579
 Yeah, it's just, it's such a blessing and honor.

00:01:52.299 --> 00:02:04.480
 One of the things I said in the sermon to one couple I married was that I went into marriage personally with expectations.

00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:12.719
 And the expectations that I went into marriage were, I mean, they were kind of, they were very naive.

00:02:13.420 --> 00:02:21.800
 And I came to realize that the things that I thought were going to be hard in marriage were way harder than I thought they were going to be.

00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:23.439
 They were way, way more difficult.

00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:32.719
 But on the flip side, the things that I was looking forward to in marriage absolutely exceeded my expectations.

00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:39.740
 Like, it was unbelievable and it continues to be exceeding my expectations.

00:02:40.379 --> 00:02:42.780
 But it got me thinking about expectations in general.

00:02:42.780 --> 00:02:55.860
 We have expectations for things that we hope for, our desires, and oftentimes reality doesn't quite line up with our expectations, does it?

00:02:56.699 --> 00:03:02.560
 We think that if we are hoping for retirement to look a certain way,

00:03:03.060 --> 00:03:10.240
 if we are hoping for our children to grow up and pursue a specific profession in a kind of way,

00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:18.200
 if we have expectations, whether big or small, and it doesn't line up with reality,

00:03:19.540 --> 00:03:27.860
 we are, we have a choice before us how we are going to essentially change, how we are going to manage our expectations.

00:03:29.160 --> 00:03:38.520
 We can, we have the choice to either be upset and bitter, if they don't line up the way we want,

00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:45.360
 or we can adjust and ask the question, like, is this actually better than what I was expecting?

00:03:45.780 --> 00:03:49.200
 Or it's a bit of a mixed bag maybe, but you kind of roll with it.

00:03:49.260 --> 00:03:56.260
 You see that life isn't always the way you envision it, but, you know, this is the way reality is.

00:03:56.300 --> 00:03:58.060
 I'm going to make the most of it.

00:03:58.060 --> 00:04:06.400
 If you are joining us, or you've missed a week or two, we've been going through the first three chapters of Mark.

00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:10.719
 And right off the bat, it flavors the rest of the gospel.

00:04:11.259 --> 00:04:17.480
 Mark chapter 1, verses 14 and 15, Jesus says that he has come to proclaim the gospel.

00:04:17.660 --> 00:04:18.560
 The kingdom is at hand.

00:04:19.060 --> 00:04:21.120
 At hand, he is proclaiming the gospel.

00:04:21.379 --> 00:04:23.620
 Repent and believe in the good news.

00:04:23.620 --> 00:04:27.959
 We found out that that good news isn't just a get-out-of-jail-free card,

00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:32.639
 but the good news, the gospel of God, is Jesus himself.

00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:34.620
 His life, his death, his resurrection.

00:04:36.860 --> 00:04:42.579
 Jesus has come, and he is the Messiah that has been proclaimed in the scriptures.

00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:47.000
 And he has been messing with expectations.

00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:52.779
 The religious elite have this idea of who the Messiah is going to be,

00:04:53.740 --> 00:04:57.680
 and Jesus is, it just does not compute with them.

00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:03.600
 We are coming up to the end of kind of like a mini-narrative,

00:05:03.779 --> 00:05:05.420
 like a story within Mark.

00:05:05.779 --> 00:05:09.519
 Chapter 2, verse 1 to chapter 3, verse 6,

00:05:09.620 --> 00:05:12.339
 and we're going to wrap up chapter 3, verse 6 today.

00:05:12.339 --> 00:05:14.439
 Today, there's like a bit of a mini-narrative,

00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.919
 where Jesus, he is proclaiming the gospel.

00:05:18.099 --> 00:05:19.060
 He is healing people.

00:05:19.139 --> 00:05:21.959
 He is cleansing leprous folk.

00:05:22.099 --> 00:05:23.579
 He is casting out demons.

00:05:24.379 --> 00:05:25.919
 He is also forgiving sin.

00:05:26.939 --> 00:05:29.779
 He is also calling himself the bridegroom.

00:05:30.739 --> 00:05:33.639
 He is doing things that are only reserved for God.

00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:39.300
 And his authority and his ability continues to progressively grow.

00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:45.319
 And the religious elite, who know the Bible inside and out,

00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:49.240
 know who the Messiah is supposed to be,

00:05:49.579 --> 00:05:54.319
 as Jesus' ability and authority and revelation of who he truly is

00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:57.079
 gets progressively revealed,

00:05:57.740 --> 00:06:01.899
 their antagonism and anger and frustration progressively grows.

00:06:01.899 --> 00:06:06.620
 And it hits a fever pitch at the beginning of chapter 3.

00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:09.179
 Take a look with me.

00:06:09.359 --> 00:06:12.219
 Chapter 3, verses 1 to 3, it says this.

00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:14.000
 Again, Jesus entered the synagogue.

00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:16.339
 By the way, just pause real quick.

00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.419
 Chapter 2 ends with Jesus saying that he's Lord of the Sabbath.

00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:21.859
 Very offensive.

00:06:22.359 --> 00:06:23.120
 Very offensive.

00:06:23.259 --> 00:06:25.139
 We took a look at that last week.

00:06:26.039 --> 00:06:28.799
 For Jesus to say that he is the Lord of the Sabbath,

00:06:29.219 --> 00:06:31.359
 he is already rattling chains.

00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:35.300
 The Sabbath is, I mean, apart from the Day of Atonement,

00:06:35.939 --> 00:06:37.120
 in the Jewish world,

00:06:37.460 --> 00:06:40.240
 the Sabbath is the holiest day of the year.

00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:41.259
 And it happens every week.

00:06:41.900 --> 00:06:43.620
 Very, very, very, very holy.

00:06:44.620 --> 00:06:48.020
 So for Jesus to claim authority over the Sabbath,

00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:53.139
 he was putting himself in the very bootstraps,

00:06:53.300 --> 00:06:55.199
 or the very boots of God, so to speak.

00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:57.139
 So anyways, a bit of a background.

00:06:57.139 --> 00:06:58.800
 Chapter 3, verse 1.

00:06:59.300 --> 00:07:03.779
 Let's get into this really intense climax in this mini-story here.

00:07:04.500 --> 00:07:06.300
 Again, Jesus entered the synagogue,

00:07:07.180 --> 00:07:09.199
 and a man was there with a withered hand.

00:07:10.019 --> 00:07:12.939
 And they watched Jesus to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath,

00:07:13.099 --> 00:07:14.699
 so that they might accuse him.

00:07:15.579 --> 00:07:17.539
 And he said to the man with the withered hand,

00:07:17.540 --> 00:07:22.200
 hit pause for a quick moment.

00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:27.659
 Jesus is, in the last chapter, he is a blasphemer.

00:07:28.659 --> 00:07:30.659
 He fraternizes with sinners.

00:07:31.500 --> 00:07:32.860
 He's eating dinner with sinners.

00:07:33.860 --> 00:07:37.060
 With another gospel account,

00:07:37.139 --> 00:07:38.300
 talks about prostitutes,

00:07:38.659 --> 00:07:40.039
 tax collectors as well.

00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:42.900
 He's an apostate.

00:07:44.180 --> 00:07:45.840
 He's a breaker of the Sabbath.

00:07:46.640 --> 00:07:49.180
 He's a troublemaker who leads crowds astray.

00:07:49.260 --> 00:07:52.540
 This is from the perspective of the religious elite.

00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:54.000
 They want him gone.

00:07:55.300 --> 00:07:57.720
 And they're quarreling with him.

00:07:57.879 --> 00:07:59.120
 And here, it's very clear

00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:01.879
 that they are looking for an opportunity

00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:03.580
 to just get him.

00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:07.240
 To level charges against him.

00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:08.900
 To accuse him.

00:08:09.259 --> 00:08:09.860
 Trial.

00:08:10.420 --> 00:08:11.019
 Conviction.

00:08:11.460 --> 00:08:12.100
 Execution.

00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:12.840
 Done.

00:08:13.420 --> 00:08:14.220
 Out of the picture.

00:08:15.500 --> 00:08:16.879
 And Jesus here has a chance

00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:19.579
 to pull the plug on his ministry.

00:08:20.400 --> 00:08:23.300
 Or at least postpone this healing.

00:08:23.699 --> 00:08:24.680
 The thing is,

00:08:24.780 --> 00:08:26.900
 it's not as if the religious elite

00:08:26.900 --> 00:08:30.740
 had some bone to pick with people getting well.

00:08:31.500 --> 00:08:33.259
 It's just that the way

00:08:33.259 --> 00:08:37.559
 the Sabbath began to be observed.

00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:39.639
 And I mentioned this last week.

00:08:40.139 --> 00:08:42.980
 That the command was in the Bible

00:08:42.980 --> 00:08:45.659
 for certain bits about prohibition,

00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:46.179
 about work.

00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:48.700
 But then the religious scholars,

00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:51.740
 they would build rules around the rules.

00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:53.980
 And calling those rules the rules.

00:08:54.100 --> 00:08:55.139
 And so on and so forth.

00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:59.039
 So there was this giant collection of rules.

00:08:59.039 --> 00:08:59.860
 Just for the Sabbath.

00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:02.320
 And one of the rules for the Sabbath is,

00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:04.800
 listen, if you get hurt on the Sabbath,

00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:07.000
 if it's not life-threatening,

00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:07.700
 it can wait.

00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:09.860
 It can wait until the Sabbath is over.

00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:11.820
 So an example of this,

00:09:12.539 --> 00:09:14.300
 if you break your leg or your finger,

00:09:14.860 --> 00:09:15.680
 you stub your toe,

00:09:15.779 --> 00:09:17.139
 and it is clearly broken.

00:09:17.180 --> 00:09:18.480
 It's not going to kill you to wait.

00:09:19.180 --> 00:09:20.259
 Set it on Sunday.

00:09:20.860 --> 00:09:22.379
 Like, put a cast on it Sunday.

00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:22.720
 Wait.

00:09:23.379 --> 00:09:26.060
 Why ruin the Sabbath for a broken toe?

00:09:26.059 --> 00:09:27.659
 So another thing was,

00:09:27.739 --> 00:09:29.019
 if a house collapsed,

00:09:30.359 --> 00:09:34.039
 yeah, you want to check the rubble for survivors.

00:09:34.779 --> 00:09:36.179
 But if you find some dead bodies,

00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:38.399
 like you can't clear the dead bodies out.

00:09:38.739 --> 00:09:40.359
 Wait for the Sabbath to be over.

00:09:40.979 --> 00:09:42.739
 Then you can clear out the dead bodies

00:09:42.739 --> 00:09:43.659
 and bury them.

00:09:43.719 --> 00:09:44.119
 The Sabbath,

00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:46.799
 you don't want to screw around on the Sabbath.

00:09:46.899 --> 00:09:48.339
 Don't want to mess things up on the Sabbath.

00:09:49.139 --> 00:09:52.279
 This man's been living with a withered hand his whole life.

00:09:52.359 --> 00:09:54.079
 Why couldn't it wait one more day?

00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.560
 Why do you have to heal on the Sabbath?

00:09:57.300 --> 00:09:58.080
 Why are you poisoning,

00:09:58.920 --> 00:10:01.860
 continuing to poison all the synagogue goers?

00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:03.300
 You're working.

00:10:03.400 --> 00:10:04.080
 What are you doing?

00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:07.639
 They were taking issue at what was about to happen.

00:10:09.060 --> 00:10:10.200
 So Jesus,

00:10:10.580 --> 00:10:11.400
 he could have waited.

00:10:13.160 --> 00:10:14.340
 You don't really,

00:10:15.160 --> 00:10:16.700
 if you're a bit of a troublemaker,

00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:17.900
 whether it's right or not,

00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:20.600
 you don't want to keep being a troublemaker

00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:21.580
 if you can avoid it.

00:10:22.140 --> 00:10:22.560
 Why didn't you,

00:10:22.660 --> 00:10:23.720
 like, Jesus could have waited.

00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:25.240
 He could have waited a day.

00:10:25.900 --> 00:10:28.680
 They wouldn't have got the dirt they wanted.

00:10:28.900 --> 00:10:29.460
 He could have,

00:10:29.700 --> 00:10:32.540
 he could have punked them,

00:10:33.280 --> 00:10:34.259
 played their own game.

00:10:35.259 --> 00:10:36.420
 He could have been strategic.

00:10:36.540 --> 00:10:37.860
 But Jesus does not do that.

00:10:39.040 --> 00:10:40.060
 He sees pain,

00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:42.080
 and he sees an injustice.

00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:43.139
 Because,

00:10:43.820 --> 00:10:44.080
 the Pharisees,

00:10:44.900 --> 00:10:45.720
 and the scribes,

00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:46.780
 and the religious elite,

00:10:46.779 --> 00:10:49.659
 the irony here is that,

00:10:49.659 --> 00:10:51.899
 they are trying to catch Jesus,

00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:53.779
 for doing good on the Sabbath,

00:10:54.699 --> 00:10:57.419
 all the while conspiring to kill him,

00:10:57.519 --> 00:10:58.259
 and to do evil.

00:10:59.600 --> 00:10:59.779
 And,

00:10:59.879 --> 00:11:01.360
 right in the midst of this,

00:11:01.439 --> 00:11:02.379
 forgotten in all this,

00:11:02.439 --> 00:11:03.720
 is this man with a withered hand.

00:11:04.379 --> 00:11:06.379
 And he's leveraged for the Pharisees.

00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:08.659
 He is commodified,

00:11:08.659 --> 00:11:10.319
 by the Pharisees.

00:11:10.319 --> 00:11:11.399
 By the Pharisees.

00:11:11.439 --> 00:11:12.000
 His dignity,

00:11:12.439 --> 00:11:15.259
 isn't that of somebody who's in need of help.

00:11:16.199 --> 00:11:17.179
 He's a pawn,

00:11:17.379 --> 00:11:18.319
 in their scheme,

00:11:18.740 --> 00:11:20.459
 to get Jesus,

00:11:20.779 --> 00:11:21.899
 absolutely crushed.

00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:25.159
 No love.

00:11:25.620 --> 00:11:26.480
 Complete injustice.

00:11:27.839 --> 00:11:29.120
 Jesus sees the pain,

00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:30.439
 and he does not wait,

00:11:30.539 --> 00:11:31.399
 till after the Sabbath.

00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:34.519
 What is the Sabbath for?

00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:35.059
 It is,

00:11:35.179 --> 00:11:36.199
 for rest,

00:11:36.319 --> 00:11:37.639
 but it is also this proclamation,

00:11:37.959 --> 00:11:39.539
 that God created all things,

00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:40.740
 and he made it good.

00:11:41.100 --> 00:11:42.259
 It proclaims,

00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:43.579
 the very goodness of God.

00:11:45.299 --> 00:11:46.779
 It takes disorder,

00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:48.840
 and makes it into order.

00:11:50.179 --> 00:11:51.799
 And Jesus is not having it.

00:11:52.539 --> 00:11:53.779
 This man has a withered hand,

00:11:53.860 --> 00:11:55.439
 but maybe his spirit is withered.

00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:57.960
 People with disabilities,

00:11:57.960 --> 00:11:59.759
 are often ostracized.

00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:01.279
 And maybe,

00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:03.019
 they're not made fun of to their face,

00:12:03.139 --> 00:12:04.199
 but they're gawked at.

00:12:05.379 --> 00:12:06.439
 And they're whispered,

00:12:06.439 --> 00:12:08.480
 whispered about behind their backs.

00:12:09.659 --> 00:12:11.879
 And in an agricultural society,

00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:13.679
 a man with a withered hand,

00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:15.379
 was a man who couldn't work the fields.

00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:19.759
 Sure, I'm speculating here.

00:12:19.819 --> 00:12:21.699
 It doesn't say anything about this guy's job,

00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:23.019
 or what he can and cannot do.

00:12:23.740 --> 00:12:25.120
 But if you think for a minute,

00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:27.860
 there's more withered in this man,

00:12:27.939 --> 00:12:28.659
 than just his hand,

00:12:28.740 --> 00:12:29.100
 isn't there?

00:12:29.100 --> 00:12:32.480
 And Jesus doesn't play the game.

00:12:32.580 --> 00:12:33.519
 He doesn't play the game.

00:12:34.139 --> 00:12:35.060
 What does he do?

00:12:35.340 --> 00:12:36.720
 He sees pain,

00:12:36.899 --> 00:12:37.700
 and brokenness,

00:12:37.779 --> 00:12:38.659
 and injustice,

00:12:39.379 --> 00:12:40.980
 and he fixes it.

00:12:41.060 --> 00:12:42.300
 Right there on the spot.

00:12:42.299 --> 00:12:45.479
 Like I mentioned,

00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:47.000
 complete irony here.

00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:48.620
 The Pharisees,

00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:50.219
 who are trying to do good,

00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:51.199
 and keep the law,

00:12:51.620 --> 00:12:53.419
 are completely missing it.

00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:55.679
 And not just missing it,

00:12:55.779 --> 00:12:56.939
 by not doing it,

00:12:57.179 --> 00:12:58.699
 but are doing evil.

00:13:00.099 --> 00:13:02.379
 Look with me in verse 4.

00:13:02.379 --> 00:13:05.439
 And Jesus said to the religious elite,

00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:07.000
 Is it lawful on the Sabbath

00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:07.779
 to do good,

00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:09.019
 or to do harm,

00:13:09.139 --> 00:13:10.500
 to save life,

00:13:10.740 --> 00:13:11.960
 or to kill?

00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:13.939
 But they were silent,

00:13:14.659 --> 00:13:16.480
 and he looked around them with anger,

00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:19.159
 grieved at their hardness of heart,

00:13:19.259 --> 00:13:20.399
 and said to the man,

00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:22.379
 Stretch out your hand.

00:13:22.379 --> 00:13:25.740
 Jesus,

00:13:26.259 --> 00:13:29.139
 Jesus is angry.

00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:32.919
 And it's connected to the injustice

00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:34.100
 that he sees,

00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:35.919
 to this commodification

00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:38.460
 of a human being made in God's image

00:13:38.460 --> 00:13:39.200
 that he sees,

00:13:39.620 --> 00:13:40.539
 and he is angry.

00:13:40.820 --> 00:13:41.340
 And friends,

00:13:41.419 --> 00:13:42.740
 it is okay to be angry

00:13:42.740 --> 00:13:44.059
 at injustice.

00:13:44.939 --> 00:13:46.740
 It's okay to read the news,

00:13:46.740 --> 00:13:49.639
 and see some kind of horror

00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:52.319
 in the Middle East,

00:13:52.659 --> 00:13:54.159
 or in Asia,

00:13:54.539 --> 00:13:55.679
 or in parts of Latin America,

00:13:55.819 --> 00:13:57.059
 or in our backyard,

00:13:58.100 --> 00:13:59.199
 and to be angry about it.

00:13:59.960 --> 00:14:00.539
 And there's something

00:14:00.539 --> 00:14:02.580
 wonderfully righteous about that.

00:14:04.220 --> 00:14:05.620
 It is not something

00:14:05.620 --> 00:14:06.639
 that you're indifferent to,

00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:07.819
 that you're angry about.

00:14:09.379 --> 00:14:11.100
 Ephesians chapter 4 says,

00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:12.740
 In your anger,

00:14:13.139 --> 00:14:13.899
 do not sin.

00:14:14.539 --> 00:14:15.879
 There's a way to be angry,

00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:16.919
 and not sin.

00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:18.100
 Even though oftentimes,

00:14:18.299 --> 00:14:19.580
 anger and sin are so connected,

00:14:20.100 --> 00:14:21.899
 Jesus here is completely sinless,

00:14:22.500 --> 00:14:24.019
 but he is angry.

00:14:24.620 --> 00:14:25.519
 And not just angry,

00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:28.019
 but he is grieved in his spirit.

00:14:29.319 --> 00:14:31.059
 This idea of being grieved in his spirit,

00:14:31.139 --> 00:14:33.399
 it's the same grieving in his spirit

00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:34.159
 that we'll see

00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:37.199
 when Jesus is in the Garden of Gethsemane.

00:14:38.620 --> 00:14:40.519
 It's not just that it bothers Jesus,

00:14:41.319 --> 00:14:42.960
 but he hates it.

00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:45.819
 He hates what he sees.

00:14:45.820 --> 00:14:53.100
 We can commodify people as well

00:14:53.100 --> 00:14:54.120
 if we use people

00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:57.520
 as a means to our ends.

00:14:57.920 --> 00:14:59.540
 If we see people as

00:14:59.540 --> 00:15:02.500
 a stepping stone for promotion,

00:15:03.560 --> 00:15:05.000
 or, you know,

00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:06.340
 if I'm friends with that person,

00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:08.740
 my reputation might get a bit better,

00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:10.380
 or, you know,

00:15:10.379 --> 00:15:12.939
 if I clown that person

00:15:12.939 --> 00:15:13.799
 at a party,

00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:14.659
 or at a dinner,

00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:16.259
 people laugh at me,

00:15:16.820 --> 00:15:18.059
 think I'm pretty funny.

00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:20.659
 Whenever we disregard

00:15:20.659 --> 00:15:21.879
 the dignity,

00:15:22.539 --> 00:15:24.200
 inherent God-given dignity,

00:15:24.659 --> 00:15:25.220
 for people,

00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:27.919
 we commodify them.

00:15:27.980 --> 00:15:29.059
 We use them for something

00:15:29.059 --> 00:15:31.039
 they were never meant to be used for.

00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:32.779
 That's why

00:15:32.779 --> 00:15:34.819
 sexual knowing

00:15:34.819 --> 00:15:35.759
 with many partners

00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:38.360
 is a form of

00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:39.599
 commodifying people,

00:15:40.179 --> 00:15:40.879
 treating people

00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:41.779
 as a means

00:15:41.779 --> 00:15:42.740
 for your own pleasure.

00:15:43.699 --> 00:15:45.819
 It is not a self-giving act,

00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:47.219
 it is a self-taking act.

00:15:51.099 --> 00:15:52.360
 We read the Bible,

00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:54.019
 and we see stuff like this,

00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:55.179
 and friends,

00:15:55.259 --> 00:15:56.339
 let's ask the Lord,

00:15:56.899 --> 00:15:57.219
 Lord,

00:15:57.360 --> 00:15:59.339
 am I like the Pharisees

00:15:59.340 --> 00:15:59.800
 in this?

00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:02.379
 Am I commodifying people?

00:16:02.540 --> 00:16:03.540
 Am I using people?

00:16:03.620 --> 00:16:04.160
 In any way,

00:16:04.280 --> 00:16:04.879
 small or big,

00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:06.480
 am I not treating people

00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:07.519
 as image bearers

00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:08.420
 of the Most High?

00:16:09.620 --> 00:16:11.120
 Because my guess is,

00:16:11.980 --> 00:16:13.180
 as Jesus is the same

00:16:13.180 --> 00:16:13.519
 yesterday,

00:16:13.700 --> 00:16:14.000
 today,

00:16:14.139 --> 00:16:14.700
 and forever,

00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:16.139
 his reaction

00:16:16.139 --> 00:16:17.379
 to us using people

00:16:17.379 --> 00:16:19.220
 might very well be

00:16:19.220 --> 00:16:20.480
 similar to what we see here.

00:16:22.800 --> 00:16:23.280
 Anger,

00:16:23.940 --> 00:16:24.960
 and deeply grieved.

00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:28.480
 But also,

00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:29.159
 it is permission

00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:30.100
 for us to be angry

00:16:30.100 --> 00:16:31.399
 at the things that we see,

00:16:31.539 --> 00:16:32.200
 the injustices

00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:32.960
 that we witness.

00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:35.960
 This type of injustice

00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:38.519
 is connected

00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:39.740
 to,

00:16:39.920 --> 00:16:40.759
 we'll see here,

00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:41.720
 their hardness

00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:42.600
 of heart.

00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:45.440
 We see that

00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:46.080
 in verse 5,

00:16:46.139 --> 00:16:46.920
 and he looked around

00:16:46.920 --> 00:16:47.779
 at them with anger,

00:16:47.920 --> 00:16:48.580
 grieved at

00:16:48.580 --> 00:16:49.519
 their hardness

00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:50.240
 of heart.

00:16:50.980 --> 00:16:51.759
 And more than

00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:52.980
 intellectual objections,

00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:54.080
 or differing

00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:55.180
 worldviews,

00:16:55.179 --> 00:16:57.659
 or even

00:16:57.659 --> 00:16:59.139
 different faiths,

00:17:00.019 --> 00:17:00.719
 it is,

00:17:00.819 --> 00:17:02.839
 it is a hard heart

00:17:02.839 --> 00:17:03.959
 that is the true enemy

00:17:03.959 --> 00:17:06.179
 of divine grace

00:17:06.179 --> 00:17:07.139
 and,

00:17:07.139 --> 00:17:07.599
 and,

00:17:07.659 --> 00:17:08.799
 and true faith.

00:17:09.619 --> 00:17:10.319
 A hard heart.

00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:12.099
 And how do we get

00:17:12.099 --> 00:17:12.720
 hard hearts?

00:17:12.859 --> 00:17:12.980
 Well,

00:17:13.019 --> 00:17:13.779
 the Pharisees

00:17:13.779 --> 00:17:14.559
 and the,

00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:15.599
 the scribes,

00:17:15.819 --> 00:17:17.119
 they knew the scriptures

00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:18.319
 inside and out.

00:17:18.379 --> 00:17:19.279
 They sought to keep

00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:20.139
 the commands of God.

00:17:20.140 --> 00:17:20.780
 The Apostle Paul

00:17:20.780 --> 00:17:21.900
 talks of the Pharisees

00:17:21.900 --> 00:17:23.740
 and the non-believing Jews

00:17:23.740 --> 00:17:25.360
 as their zeal,

00:17:25.460 --> 00:17:26.420
 they have zeal for God,

00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:27.060
 but not according

00:17:27.060 --> 00:17:27.560
 to knowledge.

00:17:27.660 --> 00:17:28.440
 They genuinely

00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:30.840
 want to follow God,

00:17:31.660 --> 00:17:32.900
 but not,

00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:35.440
 but based on

00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:36.700
 their own interpretation,

00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:38.480
 their own,

00:17:38.560 --> 00:17:39.860
 not coming under

00:17:39.860 --> 00:17:40.520
 the scriptures,

00:17:41.580 --> 00:17:41.759
 right,

00:17:41.820 --> 00:17:42.360
 but standing

00:17:42.360 --> 00:17:43.180
 on top of them.

00:17:44.740 --> 00:17:45.500
 The hardness

00:17:45.500 --> 00:17:46.560
 of heart comes

00:17:46.560 --> 00:17:47.140
 when we fail

00:17:47.140 --> 00:17:48.000
 to see the heart

00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:48.680
 of scripture.

00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:49.700
 And what is

00:17:49.700 --> 00:17:50.500
 the heart of scripture?

00:17:51.320 --> 00:17:52.660
 It's always that God

00:17:52.660 --> 00:17:53.500
 wants to dwell

00:17:53.500 --> 00:17:54.600
 amongst his people.

00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:56.100
 The opening

00:17:56.100 --> 00:17:57.759
 chapters of

00:17:57.759 --> 00:17:58.299
 Genesis,

00:17:58.860 --> 00:17:59.519
 it's this beautiful

00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:00.299
 picture of God

00:18:00.299 --> 00:18:01.620
 walking with Adam

00:18:01.620 --> 00:18:02.840
 and Eve in the garden

00:18:02.840 --> 00:18:03.960
 in the cool of the day.

00:18:04.420 --> 00:18:04.799
 Adam and Eve

00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:06.039
 are naked and unafraid

00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:07.620
 and unashamed.

00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:09.820
 They are completely

00:18:09.820 --> 00:18:10.779
 vulnerable

00:18:10.779 --> 00:18:12.600
 and yet cared for.

00:18:13.860 --> 00:18:15.000
 The tabernacle

00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:16.080
 when the Israelites

00:18:16.080 --> 00:18:16.860
 are going through

00:18:16.860 --> 00:18:17.440
 the desert

00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:18.380
 after their,

00:18:18.380 --> 00:18:19.660
 rescued from slavery

00:18:19.660 --> 00:18:20.280
 is this picture

00:18:20.280 --> 00:18:21.080
 of God dwelling

00:18:21.080 --> 00:18:22.080
 amongst his people.

00:18:22.700 --> 00:18:23.280
 The temple

00:18:23.280 --> 00:18:24.020
 when it's built

00:18:24.020 --> 00:18:24.780
 by King Solomon,

00:18:24.940 --> 00:18:25.700
 what does it represent?

00:18:26.040 --> 00:18:26.820
 God dwelling

00:18:26.820 --> 00:18:28.000
 amongst his people.

00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:29.200
 And now,

00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:30.780
 God himself

00:18:30.780 --> 00:18:31.840
 is clothed

00:18:31.840 --> 00:18:33.460
 in human form,

00:18:33.740 --> 00:18:34.620
 in human flesh,

00:18:34.740 --> 00:18:35.200
 fully God

00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:35.900
 and fully man.

00:18:36.220 --> 00:18:37.020
 And where does he dwell?

00:18:37.600 --> 00:18:38.160
 He dwells among

00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:38.660
 his people.

00:18:39.620 --> 00:18:40.020
 It's the heart

00:18:40.020 --> 00:18:40.520
 of the scriptures.

00:18:41.940 --> 00:18:42.720
 This is the

00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:43.840
 overarching story

00:18:43.840 --> 00:18:44.580
 of the scriptures.

00:18:44.579 --> 00:18:44.679
 scriptures.

00:18:45.399 --> 00:18:46.379
 But when the scriptures

00:18:46.379 --> 00:18:47.539
 are looked at

00:18:47.539 --> 00:18:48.599
 and seen

00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:49.859
 as just a bunch

00:18:49.859 --> 00:18:50.599
 of rules

00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:51.519
 to be kept

00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:52.740
 so that we may

00:18:52.740 --> 00:18:53.619
 please God

00:18:53.619 --> 00:18:54.939
 somehow at the end

00:18:54.939 --> 00:18:56.379
 on the cosmic scale

00:18:56.379 --> 00:18:57.179
 of good and bad,

00:18:57.579 --> 00:18:58.399
 then we fail

00:18:58.399 --> 00:18:59.139
 to see the heart

00:18:59.139 --> 00:18:59.740
 of the scriptures.

00:19:00.819 --> 00:19:01.259
 And our heart

00:19:01.259 --> 00:19:01.919
 becomes hard.

00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:04.319
 Self-righteousness

00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:04.819
 comes in.

00:19:05.819 --> 00:19:06.919
 And all of a sudden

00:19:06.919 --> 00:19:07.839
 we become

00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:09.279
 stiff-necked.

00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:11.480
 We see the Messiah

00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:12.399
 in front of us.

00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:13.299
 What happens?

00:19:13.399 --> 00:19:13.920
 We say

00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:15.180
 he is a blasphemer.

00:19:15.539 --> 00:19:16.960
 He is an apostate.

00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:18.420
 He is a friend

00:19:18.420 --> 00:19:19.420
 of degenerates.

00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:21.059
 And now

00:19:21.059 --> 00:19:22.299
 he is a Sabbath-breaker.

00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:25.079
 God himself,

00:19:25.299 --> 00:19:26.440
 the heart of scripture

00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:27.420
 is unfolding

00:19:27.420 --> 00:19:28.359
 in front of them.

00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:29.819
 God is dwelling

00:19:29.819 --> 00:19:31.500
 amongst his people

00:19:31.500 --> 00:19:33.440
 and they're blind to it.

00:19:33.500 --> 00:19:34.319
 Hardness of heart.

00:19:35.420 --> 00:19:36.559
 It's remarkable

00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:38.419
 that the hardness

00:19:38.419 --> 00:19:38.819
 of heart

00:19:38.819 --> 00:19:39.399
 has set in

00:19:39.399 --> 00:19:40.200
 in such a way.

00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:41.700
 And what is Jesus?

00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:42.799
 He is angered

00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:44.200
 but he's also grieved.

00:19:47.019 --> 00:19:47.759
 God's word

00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:49.159
 points to God's purposes

00:19:49.159 --> 00:19:50.419
 and to God's heart.

00:19:51.859 --> 00:19:52.440
 And God's

00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:54.359
 God's creation

00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:55.899
 is declared good

00:19:55.899 --> 00:19:56.440
 by God

00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:57.279
 but it is bent.

00:19:57.740 --> 00:19:58.359
 But it's still

00:19:58.359 --> 00:19:59.220
 God's creation.

00:19:59.500 --> 00:20:01.059
 And when we

00:20:01.059 --> 00:20:02.679
 treat God's creation

00:20:02.679 --> 00:20:04.159
 humanity

00:20:04.159 --> 00:20:05.179
 as the pinnacle

00:20:05.179 --> 00:20:05.859
 of that

00:20:05.859 --> 00:20:06.939
 made in his image

00:20:06.939 --> 00:20:08.599
 it grieves his heart.

00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:09.439
 It angers him.

00:20:10.899 --> 00:20:11.859
 Hardness of heart

00:20:11.859 --> 00:20:12.719
 is faithlessness

00:20:12.719 --> 00:20:14.240
 and it always

00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:15.039
 leads to some

00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:15.919
 sort of injustice.

00:20:17.539 --> 00:20:18.619
 So Jesus is

00:20:18.619 --> 00:20:19.639
 undeterred

00:20:19.639 --> 00:20:20.599
 and unwavering.

00:20:21.639 --> 00:20:22.179
 The kingdom

00:20:22.179 --> 00:20:22.819
 is at hand

00:20:22.819 --> 00:20:23.240
 remember.

00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:24.659
 He is

00:20:24.659 --> 00:20:26.059
 constantly being

00:20:26.059 --> 00:20:27.699
 the source

00:20:27.699 --> 00:20:28.399
 of healing

00:20:28.399 --> 00:20:29.799
 and cleansing

00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:31.079
 and he

00:20:31.079 --> 00:20:32.439
 says to this man

00:20:32.439 --> 00:20:33.839
 put out your hand

00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:34.539
 and it's healed

00:20:34.539 --> 00:20:35.119
 completely.

00:20:36.579 --> 00:20:37.219
 Right then

00:20:37.219 --> 00:20:37.659
 and there

00:20:37.659 --> 00:20:38.519
 you'd think

00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:38.959
 that

00:20:38.959 --> 00:20:40.519
 the Pharisees

00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:41.679
 and the scribes

00:20:41.679 --> 00:20:42.759
 and the Herodians

00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:43.519
 which I'll mention

00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:44.919
 in a brief moment

00:20:44.919 --> 00:20:46.139
 they would say

00:20:46.139 --> 00:20:47.259
 well hold on a second

00:20:47.259 --> 00:20:48.399
 isn't there something

00:20:48.399 --> 00:20:50.079
 divine

00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:50.779
 and wonderful

00:20:50.779 --> 00:20:51.719
 and beautiful

00:20:51.719 --> 00:20:52.240
 at play?

00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:53.619
 Again

00:20:53.619 --> 00:20:54.079
 the hardness

00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:54.599
 of heart

00:20:54.599 --> 00:20:55.279
 that can come

00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:56.679
 from self-righteousness

00:20:56.679 --> 00:20:57.899
 is blinding.

00:20:59.039 --> 00:20:59.959
 Look with me

00:20:59.959 --> 00:21:00.619
 in verse 6.

00:21:00.619 --> 00:21:04.199
 the Pharisees

00:21:04.199 --> 00:21:04.599
 went out

00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:05.119
 and immediately

00:21:05.119 --> 00:21:05.879
 held council

00:21:05.879 --> 00:21:06.639
 with the Herodians

00:21:06.639 --> 00:21:07.279
 against him

00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:08.259
 how to destroy him.

00:21:09.199 --> 00:21:10.299
 The Pharisees

00:21:10.299 --> 00:21:10.699
 were

00:21:10.699 --> 00:21:11.879
 they were

00:21:11.879 --> 00:21:12.919
 they were purists

00:21:12.919 --> 00:21:14.959
 they did not like

00:21:14.959 --> 00:21:15.859
 the fact that Rome

00:21:15.859 --> 00:21:17.239
 was in their land.

00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:19.019
 The Herodians

00:21:19.019 --> 00:21:20.000
 were

00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:21.779
 they were Hellenists

00:21:21.779 --> 00:21:22.439
 which means

00:21:22.439 --> 00:21:23.299
 that they were

00:21:23.299 --> 00:21:24.639
 deeply influenced

00:21:24.639 --> 00:21:25.219
 by Rome.

00:21:25.220 --> 00:21:25.880
 there was

00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:27.319
 a little sprinkle

00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:28.019
 of Israel

00:21:28.019 --> 00:21:28.920
 a little sprinkle

00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:29.480
 of Rome

00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:30.700
 and they were

00:21:30.700 --> 00:21:31.299
 conspires

00:21:31.299 --> 00:21:32.019
 with the enemies.

00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:33.360
 They were

00:21:33.360 --> 00:21:34.319
 natural enemies

00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:35.380
 the Pharisees

00:21:35.380 --> 00:21:36.120
 and the Herodians

00:21:36.120 --> 00:21:36.839
 and yet

00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:37.740
 because of their

00:21:37.740 --> 00:21:38.620
 hardness of heart

00:21:38.620 --> 00:21:40.000
 what united them?

00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:41.380
 The

00:21:41.380 --> 00:21:42.900
 destruction of Jesus.

00:21:43.079 --> 00:21:43.460
 Verse 6

00:21:43.460 --> 00:21:43.779
 again

00:21:43.779 --> 00:21:45.200
 how they held

00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:45.700
 council

00:21:45.700 --> 00:21:46.860
 with the Herodians

00:21:46.860 --> 00:21:49.259
 how to destroy him

00:21:49.259 --> 00:21:50.940
 and thus ends

00:21:50.940 --> 00:21:51.420
 this kind of

00:21:51.420 --> 00:21:52.279
 mini story

00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:53.339
 but one thing

00:21:53.339 --> 00:21:53.860
 we can take

00:21:53.860 --> 00:21:54.700
 from this mini story

00:21:54.700 --> 00:21:55.200
 is that

00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:57.019
 that the Messiah

00:21:57.019 --> 00:21:57.880
 has come

00:21:57.880 --> 00:21:58.960
 and he is

00:21:58.960 --> 00:21:59.819
 destroying

00:21:59.819 --> 00:22:01.080
 expectations.

00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:03.240
 Destroying the

00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:03.700
 expectations

00:22:03.700 --> 00:22:04.680
 of the Pharisees

00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:06.080
 the Herodians

00:22:06.080 --> 00:22:07.059
 the Sadducees

00:22:07.059 --> 00:22:07.900
 the scribes

00:22:07.900 --> 00:22:09.519
 even the crowds

00:22:09.519 --> 00:22:11.440
 and this will bring us

00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:12.279
 to the next section

00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:12.700
 here

00:22:12.700 --> 00:22:16.640
 starting in verse 7

00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:17.299
 read with me

00:22:17.299 --> 00:22:18.299
 Jesus withdrew

00:22:18.299 --> 00:22:19.319
 with his disciples

00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:20.019
 to the sea

00:22:20.019 --> 00:22:20.980
 and a great crowd

00:22:20.980 --> 00:22:21.500
 followed

00:22:21.500 --> 00:22:22.700
 from Galilee

00:22:22.700 --> 00:22:23.440
 and Judea

00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:24.019
 and Jerusalem

00:22:24.019 --> 00:22:24.900
 and Idumea

00:22:24.900 --> 00:22:25.980
 and from beyond

00:22:25.980 --> 00:22:26.480
 the Jordan

00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:27.180
 and from around

00:22:27.180 --> 00:22:28.339
 Tyre and Sidon

00:22:28.339 --> 00:22:29.759
 when the great crowd

00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:31.160
 heard all that he was doing

00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:32.339
 they came to him

00:22:32.339 --> 00:22:34.319
 and he told his disciples

00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:35.680
 to have a boat ready for him

00:22:35.680 --> 00:22:36.680
 because of the crowd

00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:38.099
 lest they crush him

00:22:38.099 --> 00:22:39.519
 and on one hand

00:22:39.519 --> 00:22:41.099
 there is a desperation

00:22:41.099 --> 00:22:41.960
 in this crowd

00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:43.299
 to touch Jesus

00:22:43.299 --> 00:22:45.019
 but a failure also

00:22:45.019 --> 00:22:46.299
 to understand who he is

00:22:46.299 --> 00:22:47.139
 and the crowd

00:22:47.139 --> 00:22:47.720
 in Mark

00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:49.879
 is never a positive thing

00:22:49.879 --> 00:22:51.339
 the crowd is always

00:22:51.339 --> 00:22:52.720
 getting in Jesus' way

00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:54.399
 and causing him

00:22:54.399 --> 00:22:55.959
 to change plans

00:22:55.959 --> 00:22:58.019
 and causing danger

00:22:58.019 --> 00:23:01.619
 to loom

00:23:01.619 --> 00:23:02.759
 so the crowds

00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:04.259
 are about to crush him

00:23:04.259 --> 00:23:05.319
 why?

00:23:05.659 --> 00:23:06.539
 for he healed many

00:23:06.539 --> 00:23:07.159
 so that all

00:23:07.159 --> 00:23:07.879
 who had diseases

00:23:07.879 --> 00:23:08.919
 pressed around him

00:23:08.919 --> 00:23:09.519
 to touch him

00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:10.379
 and whenever

00:23:10.379 --> 00:23:11.319
 the unclean spirit

00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:11.879
 saw him

00:23:11.879 --> 00:23:12.859
 they fell down

00:23:12.859 --> 00:23:13.339
 before him

00:23:13.339 --> 00:23:13.799
 and cried out

00:23:13.799 --> 00:23:15.139
 you are the son of God

00:23:15.139 --> 00:23:16.559
 and he strictly ordered them

00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:17.659
 not to make him known

00:23:17.659 --> 00:23:19.159
 see it's interesting

00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:20.060
 it's not the crowds

00:23:20.060 --> 00:23:20.680
 that recognize

00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:21.460
 who Jesus is

00:23:21.460 --> 00:23:23.160
 it's not the religious

00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:23.740
 establishment

00:23:23.740 --> 00:23:24.759
 even not even

00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:25.400
 his disciples

00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:27.279
 the demons

00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:28.220
 for some reason

00:23:28.220 --> 00:23:28.759
 are the ones

00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:29.240
 who declare

00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:30.000
 who God really

00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:31.200
 who Jesus really is

00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:33.960
 we'll touch on that

00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:35.080
 in future weeks

00:23:35.080 --> 00:23:35.900
 but one of the things

00:23:35.900 --> 00:23:36.440
 that I want to

00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:37.540
 touch on

00:23:37.540 --> 00:23:39.259
 in verses 7 to 12

00:23:39.259 --> 00:23:40.200
 this middle section

00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:40.740
 of our reading

00:23:40.740 --> 00:23:43.000
 is that one of the things

00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:43.640
 that the Messiah

00:23:43.640 --> 00:23:45.740
 was prophesied to do

00:23:45.740 --> 00:23:46.900
 is to rescue Israel

00:23:46.900 --> 00:23:47.779
 from her enemies

00:23:47.779 --> 00:23:50.339
 and at this time

00:23:50.339 --> 00:23:51.960
 the religious elite

00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:52.740
 they thought

00:23:52.740 --> 00:23:54.019
 the enemies are Rome

00:23:54.019 --> 00:23:55.680
 the Messiah is going to come

00:23:55.680 --> 00:23:57.119
 draw his sword

00:23:57.119 --> 00:23:58.680
 and he is going to

00:23:58.680 --> 00:24:01.279
 whoop behind

00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:02.940
 he's going to destroy

00:24:02.940 --> 00:24:03.660
 these Romans

00:24:03.660 --> 00:24:06.619
 but again

00:24:06.619 --> 00:24:07.599
 failing to see

00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:10.319
 the heart of scripture

00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:11.720
 the Messiah

00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:13.119
 was always

00:24:13.119 --> 00:24:14.440
 going to

00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:15.519
 save Israel

00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:16.299
 from her enemies

00:24:16.299 --> 00:24:17.579
 but two things

00:24:17.579 --> 00:24:18.480
 Israel

00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:20.139
 would be reconstituted

00:24:20.139 --> 00:24:21.039
 it wouldn't be

00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:22.199
 ethnic Jews anymore

00:24:22.199 --> 00:24:24.199
 there's hints of that

00:24:24.199 --> 00:24:25.179
 throughout the Old Testament

00:24:25.179 --> 00:24:26.359
 that it wouldn't just be

00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:27.059
 the Jews

00:24:27.059 --> 00:24:27.939
 it would be the Gentiles

00:24:27.939 --> 00:24:28.379
 as well

00:24:28.379 --> 00:24:29.960
 and also the enemy

00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:30.899
 wouldn't just be

00:24:30.899 --> 00:24:31.659
 the enemy

00:24:31.659 --> 00:24:32.379
 in the here

00:24:32.379 --> 00:24:32.899
 and the now

00:24:32.899 --> 00:24:33.919
 but the eternal enemy

00:24:33.919 --> 00:24:35.460
 sin and death

00:24:35.460 --> 00:24:37.799
 so we see a bit of this

00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:38.619
 just hints of it

00:24:38.619 --> 00:24:39.359
 remember Mark

00:24:39.359 --> 00:24:40.339
 here is leading us

00:24:40.339 --> 00:24:40.980
 to the cross

00:24:40.980 --> 00:24:42.740
 progressively revealing

00:24:42.740 --> 00:24:43.740
 who Jesus is

00:24:43.740 --> 00:24:49.039
 in verse 8

00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:51.599
 Mark is giving this

00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:52.039
 kind of like

00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:53.019
 list of people

00:24:53.019 --> 00:24:55.480
 of where they come from

00:24:55.480 --> 00:24:56.359
 he says

00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:56.880
 Jerusalem

00:24:56.880 --> 00:24:57.839
 the Galilee

00:24:57.839 --> 00:24:58.599
 and Judea

00:24:58.599 --> 00:24:59.460
 Jerusalem

00:24:59.460 --> 00:24:59.819
 I do

00:24:59.819 --> 00:25:00.759
 and from beyond

00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:01.240
 the Jordan

00:25:01.240 --> 00:25:02.099
 and from Tyre

00:25:02.099 --> 00:25:03.000
 and Sidon

00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:04.200
 I'll pause here

00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:06.339
 Tyre and Sidon

00:25:06.339 --> 00:25:07.460
 are not

00:25:07.460 --> 00:25:08.539
 Jewish towns

00:25:08.539 --> 00:25:09.120
 they are

00:25:09.120 --> 00:25:09.859
 they're not

00:25:09.859 --> 00:25:10.399
 they are

00:25:10.399 --> 00:25:12.719
 they are not

00:25:12.719 --> 00:25:13.579
 Jewish towns

00:25:13.579 --> 00:25:15.479
 the people that are there

00:25:15.479 --> 00:25:16.479
 do not worship

00:25:16.479 --> 00:25:17.500
 the God of the Bible

00:25:17.500 --> 00:25:20.159
 in Mark chapter 7

00:25:20.159 --> 00:25:20.939
 it's this

00:25:20.939 --> 00:25:21.759
 picture of

00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:22.500
 there's this

00:25:22.500 --> 00:25:23.319
 sort of interaction

00:25:23.319 --> 00:25:23.819
 with Jesus

00:25:23.819 --> 00:25:25.159
 and the Syrophoenician woman

00:25:25.159 --> 00:25:26.579
 who is desperate

00:25:26.579 --> 00:25:27.119
 desperate

00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:28.599
 to have her child

00:25:28.599 --> 00:25:29.459
 healed

00:25:29.459 --> 00:25:30.939
 and where does she come from

00:25:30.939 --> 00:25:31.519
 she comes from

00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:32.559
 Tyre and Sidon

00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:35.079
 and Jesus says to her

00:25:35.079 --> 00:25:35.539
 listen

00:25:35.539 --> 00:25:37.279
 I've come for the

00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:38.000
 children of Israel

00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:38.799
 it is not

00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:39.719
 appropriate

00:25:39.720 --> 00:25:41.120
 for me to feed

00:25:41.120 --> 00:25:41.819
 the bread

00:25:41.819 --> 00:25:43.700
 to the dogs

00:25:43.700 --> 00:25:44.380
 that is meant

00:25:44.380 --> 00:25:44.940
 for the children

00:25:44.940 --> 00:25:46.400
 very very very

00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:46.940
 offensive thing

00:25:46.940 --> 00:25:47.819
 to say to anybody

00:25:47.819 --> 00:25:49.380
 but this woman

00:25:49.380 --> 00:25:49.900
 she goes

00:25:49.900 --> 00:25:51.279
 even the dogs

00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:51.980
 get the crumbs

00:25:51.980 --> 00:25:53.380
 under the master's table

00:25:53.380 --> 00:25:54.940
 and Jesus heals

00:25:54.940 --> 00:25:56.799
 a non-Jewish

00:25:56.799 --> 00:25:57.980
 non-Israelite

00:25:57.980 --> 00:25:58.420
 daughter

00:25:58.420 --> 00:26:00.059
 and

00:26:00.059 --> 00:26:01.079
 he marvels

00:26:01.079 --> 00:26:01.480
 at her faith

00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:02.200
 it's interesting

00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:03.200
 we will partake

00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:03.740
 in communion

00:26:03.740 --> 00:26:05.519
 later on in the service

00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:06.339
 and there's this prayer

00:26:06.339 --> 00:26:06.559
 it's called

00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:07.600
 the prayer of humble access

00:26:07.600 --> 00:26:08.519
 you might recognize it

00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:09.519
 we do not presume

00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:10.299
 to come to this

00:26:10.299 --> 00:26:10.819
 your table

00:26:10.819 --> 00:26:11.539
 oh Lord

00:26:11.539 --> 00:26:12.660
 trusting in our own

00:26:12.660 --> 00:26:13.139
 righteousness

00:26:13.139 --> 00:26:14.639
 and it goes on

00:26:14.639 --> 00:26:16.299
 and that prayer

00:26:16.299 --> 00:26:17.059
 is fashioned

00:26:17.059 --> 00:26:18.420
 after Mark chapter 7

00:26:18.420 --> 00:26:19.680
 this picture

00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:20.839
 it's a beautiful picture

00:26:20.839 --> 00:26:22.019
 of Jesus

00:26:22.019 --> 00:26:23.639
 this Jewish Messiah

00:26:23.639 --> 00:26:24.900
 reaching out

00:26:24.900 --> 00:26:25.960
 to the Gentiles

00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:29.079
 salvation is not

00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:29.859
 just for the Jews

00:26:29.859 --> 00:26:30.879
 it's for the Gentiles

00:26:30.879 --> 00:26:31.839
 it's not just

00:26:31.839 --> 00:26:33.660
 to kick out the Romans

00:26:33.660 --> 00:26:34.920
 it's to kick out death

00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:36.400
 and we start to see

00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:37.200
 bits and pieces

00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:37.860
 of that

00:26:37.860 --> 00:26:39.180
 all of a sudden

00:26:39.180 --> 00:26:39.860
 the crowd

00:26:39.860 --> 00:26:40.940
 is no longer

00:26:40.940 --> 00:26:42.380
 fully Jewish

00:26:42.380 --> 00:26:42.820
 is it?

00:26:45.300 --> 00:26:46.340
 the next scene

00:26:46.340 --> 00:26:48.300
 is the last scene

00:26:48.300 --> 00:26:49.480
 and

00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:51.180
 Jesus goes up the mountain

00:26:51.180 --> 00:26:51.960
 we can read it

00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:53.200
 in verse 13

00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:54.440
 and Jesus went up

00:26:54.440 --> 00:26:54.940
 on the mountain

00:26:54.940 --> 00:26:55.600
 and called

00:26:55.600 --> 00:26:56.259
 to him

00:26:56.259 --> 00:26:57.580
 those whom he desired

00:26:57.580 --> 00:26:58.819
 and they came

00:26:58.819 --> 00:26:59.220
 to him

00:26:59.220 --> 00:27:00.940
 and he appointed

00:27:00.940 --> 00:27:01.940
 twelve whom he also

00:27:01.940 --> 00:27:02.600
 named apostles

00:27:02.600 --> 00:27:03.420
 so that they might

00:27:03.420 --> 00:27:04.039
 be with him

00:27:04.039 --> 00:27:05.299
 and he might send

00:27:05.299 --> 00:27:06.080
 them out to preach

00:27:06.080 --> 00:27:06.880
 and have authority

00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:08.279
 to cast out demons

00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:08.799
 and I'll

00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:10.120
 hit a pause button

00:27:10.120 --> 00:27:10.420
 there

00:27:10.420 --> 00:27:12.819
 the wonderful thing

00:27:12.819 --> 00:27:13.460
 about the Bible

00:27:13.460 --> 00:27:14.200
 is it doesn't

00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:16.059
 have a whole list

00:27:16.059 --> 00:27:17.299
 of footnotes

00:27:17.299 --> 00:27:17.640
 I mean

00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:19.819
 Crossway here

00:27:19.819 --> 00:27:20.759
 puts footnotes

00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:21.000
 in it

00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:21.599
 your Bible

00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:22.980
 has footnotes

00:27:22.980 --> 00:27:23.299
 in it

00:27:23.299 --> 00:27:24.419
 but the Bible

00:27:24.419 --> 00:27:25.000
 doesn't have

00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:25.960
 a bunch of footnotes

00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:27.619
 it doesn't say

00:27:27.619 --> 00:27:28.500
 hey this is from

00:27:28.500 --> 00:27:29.679
 Isaiah chapter 49

00:27:29.679 --> 00:27:30.720
 and then you can

00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:31.619
 scroll back

00:27:31.619 --> 00:27:32.839
 literally in a scroll

00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:33.559
 and take a look

00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:33.980
 at it

00:27:33.980 --> 00:27:35.539
 but throughout

00:27:35.539 --> 00:27:36.220
 Mark

00:27:36.220 --> 00:27:37.159
 and the other

00:27:37.159 --> 00:27:38.259
 gospel writers

00:27:38.259 --> 00:27:38.919
 there's hints

00:27:38.919 --> 00:27:39.879
 there's whispers

00:27:39.879 --> 00:27:41.460
 allusions

00:27:41.460 --> 00:27:42.379
 to the Old Testament

00:27:42.379 --> 00:27:43.939
 and all of a sudden

00:27:43.939 --> 00:27:44.539
 here we see

00:27:44.539 --> 00:27:45.679
 we have another example

00:27:45.679 --> 00:27:46.220
 and Jesus

00:27:46.220 --> 00:27:47.119
 went up

00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:47.619
 on

00:27:47.619 --> 00:27:48.740
 the mountain

00:27:48.740 --> 00:27:51.200
 the mountain

00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:52.940
 whether it is

00:27:52.940 --> 00:27:53.839
 from Elijah

00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:54.980
 where he is battling

00:27:54.980 --> 00:27:56.759
 the prophets of Baal

00:27:56.759 --> 00:27:57.720
 but especially

00:27:57.720 --> 00:27:59.440
 when Moses

00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:00.559
 climbs up the mountain

00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:01.519
 Mount Sinai

00:28:01.519 --> 00:28:02.720
 to receive the law

00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:03.759
 the mountain

00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:04.440
 is always

00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:05.500
 where God's power

00:28:05.500 --> 00:28:06.099
 comes

00:28:06.099 --> 00:28:07.539
 where his revelation

00:28:07.539 --> 00:28:08.120
 comes

00:28:08.120 --> 00:28:09.859
 and in this case

00:28:09.859 --> 00:28:10.559
 the mountain

00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:12.140
 it's alluding

00:28:12.140 --> 00:28:13.200
 to Mount Sinai

00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:15.460
 Moses goes up

00:28:15.460 --> 00:28:16.000
 on the mountain

00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:16.819
 and he

00:28:16.819 --> 00:28:18.139
 he witnesses

00:28:18.139 --> 00:28:19.460
 God himself

00:28:19.460 --> 00:28:20.439
 he comes down

00:28:20.439 --> 00:28:21.819
 his countenance

00:28:21.819 --> 00:28:22.500
 has changed

00:28:22.500 --> 00:28:22.919
 he has

00:28:22.919 --> 00:28:24.359
 encountered the living God

00:28:24.359 --> 00:28:25.559
 and Jesus

00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:26.819
 goes up the mountain

00:28:26.819 --> 00:28:28.200
 and he calls

00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:30.359
 whom he desires

00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:32.079
 it's interesting

00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:32.700
 that Jesus

00:28:32.700 --> 00:28:33.179
 is the one

00:28:33.179 --> 00:28:33.679
 who takes

00:28:33.679 --> 00:28:34.279
 the initiative

00:28:34.279 --> 00:28:35.500
 the new Moses

00:28:35.500 --> 00:28:36.819
 he is the new Moses

00:28:36.819 --> 00:28:37.299
 he is

00:28:37.299 --> 00:28:38.839
 he is the Moses

00:28:38.839 --> 00:28:40.500
 that is better

00:28:40.500 --> 00:28:41.079
 than Moses

00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:41.859
 who goes up

00:28:41.859 --> 00:28:42.359
 the mountain

00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:42.980
 that is better

00:28:42.980 --> 00:28:43.759
 than Sinai

00:28:43.759 --> 00:28:45.039
 and he calls

00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:46.019
 people

00:28:46.019 --> 00:28:47.440
 whom he desires

00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:48.220
 and what does he do

00:28:48.220 --> 00:28:49.759
 he sends them out

00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:50.220
 no no no

00:28:50.220 --> 00:28:50.819
 he does

00:28:50.819 --> 00:28:51.339
 but he doesn't

00:28:51.339 --> 00:28:51.759
 send them out

00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:52.140
 right away

00:28:52.140 --> 00:28:52.839
 what does it say

00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:56.039
 and he appointed

00:28:56.039 --> 00:28:56.619
 twelve

00:28:56.619 --> 00:28:57.940
 so that they

00:28:57.940 --> 00:28:58.940
 might be with him

00:28:58.940 --> 00:29:01.099
 and all of a sudden

00:29:01.099 --> 00:29:02.079
 he draws

00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:03.319
 disciples

00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:04.879
 first and foremost

00:29:04.879 --> 00:29:05.759
 to be in communion

00:29:05.759 --> 00:29:06.240
 with him

00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:07.160
 to know him

00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:08.700
 and

00:29:08.700 --> 00:29:10.240
 Jesus here

00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:10.799
 is

00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:12.440
 drawing twelve

00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:13.160
 disciples

00:29:13.160 --> 00:29:14.420
 twelve

00:29:14.420 --> 00:29:15.440
 tribes of Israel

00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:16.160
 and we're starting

00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:16.779
 to see these

00:29:16.779 --> 00:29:17.440
 connections with

00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:17.960
 the Old Testament

00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:19.039
 where Jesus

00:29:19.039 --> 00:29:20.519
 is reconstituting

00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:20.920
 Israel

00:29:20.920 --> 00:29:22.019
 no longer is

00:29:22.019 --> 00:29:22.680
 Israel just

00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:23.400
 Jewish people

00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:24.559
 but it will be

00:29:24.559 --> 00:29:25.200
 constituted

00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:26.100
 with people

00:29:26.100 --> 00:29:27.299
 of all

00:29:27.299 --> 00:29:28.220
 ethnicities

00:29:28.220 --> 00:29:29.100
 every tribe

00:29:29.100 --> 00:29:29.840
 every tongue

00:29:29.840 --> 00:29:32.720
 this picture

00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:33.100
 of the Messiah

00:29:33.100 --> 00:29:33.880
 is much bigger

00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:34.480
 than what the

00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:35.019
 Pharisees

00:29:35.019 --> 00:29:35.580
 and the religious

00:29:35.580 --> 00:29:36.180
 elite see

00:29:36.180 --> 00:29:37.960
 the salvation

00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:38.900
 reaches to the

00:29:38.900 --> 00:29:39.420
 ends of the

00:29:39.420 --> 00:29:39.779
 earth

00:29:39.779 --> 00:29:43.579
 it's a beautiful

00:29:43.579 --> 00:29:44.099
 picture

00:29:44.099 --> 00:29:45.079
 of what does he

00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:45.220
 do

00:29:45.220 --> 00:29:46.220
 first he gathers

00:29:46.220 --> 00:29:47.119
 his disciples

00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:47.960
 and the apostles

00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:48.920
 are very unique

00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:49.779
 in what they do

00:29:49.779 --> 00:29:50.779
 a very unique

00:29:50.779 --> 00:29:51.279
 time

00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:52.299
 in the history

00:29:52.299 --> 00:29:53.819
 of the church

00:29:53.819 --> 00:29:55.119
 but the call

00:29:55.119 --> 00:29:56.000
 of discipleship

00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:56.779
 is still the same

00:29:56.779 --> 00:29:57.720
 God first calls

00:29:57.720 --> 00:29:58.500
 us to himself

00:29:58.500 --> 00:29:59.980
 he initiates

00:29:59.980 --> 00:30:00.200
 that

00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:00.839
 he calls us

00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:01.299
 to himself

00:30:01.299 --> 00:30:01.899
 and then what

00:30:01.899 --> 00:30:02.899
 then he sends

00:30:02.899 --> 00:30:03.379
 us out

00:30:03.379 --> 00:30:04.279
 and he sends

00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:04.619
 us out

00:30:04.619 --> 00:30:05.279
 with the same

00:30:05.279 --> 00:30:05.660
 authority

00:30:05.660 --> 00:30:06.420
 that he has

00:30:06.420 --> 00:30:08.019
 verse 15

00:30:08.019 --> 00:30:09.180
 so that they

00:30:09.180 --> 00:30:09.740
 might be with

00:30:09.740 --> 00:30:09.980
 him

00:30:09.980 --> 00:30:10.600
 and he might

00:30:10.600 --> 00:30:11.060
 send them

00:30:11.060 --> 00:30:11.820
 out to preach

00:30:11.820 --> 00:30:12.539
 and have

00:30:12.539 --> 00:30:13.120
 authority to

00:30:13.120 --> 00:30:13.539
 cast out

00:30:13.539 --> 00:30:13.779
 demons

00:30:13.779 --> 00:30:14.519
 the very

00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:15.380
 thing that

00:30:15.380 --> 00:30:16.100
 Christ does

00:30:16.100 --> 00:30:16.580
 himself

00:30:16.580 --> 00:30:18.200
 and this is

00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:18.640
 what it means

00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:19.019
 to be a

00:30:19.019 --> 00:30:19.420
 disciple

00:30:19.420 --> 00:30:20.660
 first it's

00:30:20.660 --> 00:30:21.180
 being and

00:30:21.180 --> 00:30:21.519
 then being

00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:21.920
 sent

00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:23.200
 and it's

00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:23.420
 on the

00:30:23.420 --> 00:30:23.860
 initiative

00:30:23.860 --> 00:30:24.900
 of Christ

00:30:24.900 --> 00:30:25.600
 himself

00:30:25.600 --> 00:30:26.740
 and he

00:30:26.740 --> 00:30:27.220
 draws

00:30:27.220 --> 00:30:27.940
 whom he

00:30:27.940 --> 00:30:28.660
 desires

00:30:28.660 --> 00:30:29.860
 if you are

00:30:29.860 --> 00:30:30.700
 drawn to him

00:30:30.700 --> 00:30:31.180
 it's because

00:30:31.180 --> 00:30:32.000
 he desires

00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:32.500
 you

00:30:32.500 --> 00:30:34.640
 in the same

00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:34.900
 way he

00:30:34.900 --> 00:30:35.720
 desired to

00:30:35.720 --> 00:30:36.240
 heal the

00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:36.660
 man with

00:30:36.660 --> 00:30:37.000
 the withered

00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:37.440
 hand

00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:38.420
 he desires

00:30:38.420 --> 00:30:38.720
 to do

00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:39.200
 good

00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:40.200
 to not

00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:40.940
 do evil

00:30:40.940 --> 00:30:42.720
 to bless

00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:43.180
 and not

00:30:43.180 --> 00:30:43.799
 to curse

00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:45.299
 to proclaim

00:30:45.299 --> 00:30:46.140
 that this

00:30:46.140 --> 00:30:46.640
 is the day

00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:46.920
 of the

00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:47.220
 Lord

00:30:47.220 --> 00:30:47.880
 to do

00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:48.339
 away with

00:30:48.339 --> 00:30:48.920
 sin and

00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:49.120
 death

00:30:49.120 --> 00:30:49.819
 the eternal

00:30:49.819 --> 00:30:50.519
 enemies

00:30:50.519 --> 00:30:51.240
 forever

00:30:51.240 --> 00:30:52.019
 not for a

00:30:52.019 --> 00:30:52.539
 moment

00:30:52.539 --> 00:30:53.460
 forever

00:30:53.460 --> 00:30:56.940
 and what

00:30:56.940 --> 00:30:57.240
 will he

00:30:57.240 --> 00:30:57.539
 do

00:30:57.539 --> 00:30:58.019
 he will

00:30:58.019 --> 00:30:58.779
 be hung

00:30:58.779 --> 00:30:59.160
 on a

00:30:59.160 --> 00:30:59.460
 cross

00:30:59.460 --> 00:31:00.160
 and we

00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:00.940
 see little

00:31:00.940 --> 00:31:01.980
 bits of

00:31:01.980 --> 00:31:02.360
 it here

00:31:02.360 --> 00:31:02.980
 right at

00:31:02.980 --> 00:31:03.299
 the end

00:31:03.299 --> 00:31:03.539
 of our

00:31:03.539 --> 00:31:03.900
 section

00:31:03.900 --> 00:31:05.339
 the 12

00:31:05.339 --> 00:31:05.839
 are named

00:31:05.839 --> 00:31:06.240
 and then

00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:06.879
 verse 19

00:31:06.879 --> 00:31:07.319
 it says

00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:07.980
 and Judas

00:31:07.980 --> 00:31:08.559
 Iscariot

00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:09.059
 who betrayed

00:31:09.059 --> 00:31:09.359
 him

00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:11.079
 Jesus will

00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:11.779
 be betrayed

00:31:11.779 --> 00:31:12.500
 by one

00:31:12.500 --> 00:31:13.179
 closest to

00:31:13.179 --> 00:31:13.459
 him

00:31:13.459 --> 00:31:14.240
 but just

00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:15.000
 like every

00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:15.539
 other

00:31:15.539 --> 00:31:17.179
 time in

00:31:17.179 --> 00:31:17.619
 history

00:31:17.619 --> 00:31:19.059
 where evil

00:31:19.059 --> 00:31:20.000
 tries to

00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:20.839
 thwart the

00:31:20.839 --> 00:31:21.319
 plans of

00:31:21.319 --> 00:31:21.759
 God

00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:24.039
 God will

00:31:24.039 --> 00:31:24.659
 use it

00:31:24.659 --> 00:31:25.059
 and turn

00:31:25.059 --> 00:31:25.379
 it on

00:31:25.379 --> 00:31:25.859
 its head

00:31:25.859 --> 00:31:27.419
 death

00:31:27.419 --> 00:31:27.980
 tried to

00:31:27.980 --> 00:31:28.359
 end

00:31:28.359 --> 00:31:28.819
 Jesus

00:31:28.819 --> 00:31:29.179
 and he

00:31:29.179 --> 00:31:29.579
 defeats

00:31:29.579 --> 00:31:30.019
 death

00:31:30.019 --> 00:31:31.339
 by dying

00:31:31.339 --> 00:31:32.980
 but does

00:31:32.980 --> 00:31:33.339
 he stay

00:31:33.339 --> 00:31:33.819
 dead

00:31:33.819 --> 00:31:34.539
 he does

00:31:34.539 --> 00:31:34.939
 not

00:31:34.939 --> 00:31:36.159
 three days

00:31:36.159 --> 00:31:36.839
 he rises

00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:37.500
 again

00:31:37.500 --> 00:31:38.539
 never to

00:31:38.539 --> 00:31:39.259
 die again

00:31:39.259 --> 00:31:39.839
 and that

00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:40.619
 promise of

00:31:40.619 --> 00:31:41.439
 new life

00:31:41.439 --> 00:31:42.859
 is ours

00:31:42.859 --> 00:31:45.519
 friends he

00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:46.159
 is calling

00:31:46.159 --> 00:31:46.659
 you to

00:31:46.659 --> 00:31:47.079
 himself

00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:47.439
 today

00:31:47.439 --> 00:31:48.699
 he has

00:31:48.699 --> 00:31:49.639
 reconstituted

00:31:49.639 --> 00:31:50.399
 Israel so

00:31:50.399 --> 00:31:51.299
 that all

00:31:51.299 --> 00:31:52.220
 of us who

00:31:52.220 --> 00:31:52.679
 are not

00:31:52.679 --> 00:31:53.480
 Jewish people

00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:54.579
 can call

00:31:54.579 --> 00:31:55.259
 Abraham their

00:31:55.259 --> 00:31:55.679
 father

00:31:55.680 --> 00:31:58.039
 that can

00:31:58.039 --> 00:32:00.160
 say that

00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:01.759
 their history

00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:02.440
 goes all the

00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:02.940
 way back to

00:32:02.940 --> 00:32:03.600
 Genesis 1

00:32:03.600 --> 00:32:04.160
 in a spiritual

00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:04.620
 sense

00:32:04.620 --> 00:32:06.380
 that God is

00:32:06.380 --> 00:32:06.900
 doing a

00:32:06.900 --> 00:32:07.560
 mighty mighty

00:32:07.560 --> 00:32:08.600
 work in

00:32:08.600 --> 00:32:09.720
 all nations

00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:10.759
 to all

00:32:10.759 --> 00:32:11.240
 people

00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:12.720
 and

00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:14.360
 we

00:32:14.360 --> 00:32:15.240
 retire in

00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:15.840
 Sidon

00:32:15.840 --> 00:32:16.519
 and we

00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:16.940
 think man

00:32:16.940 --> 00:32:17.440
 that is

00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:18.019
 not in

00:32:18.019 --> 00:32:18.560
 the vicinity

00:32:18.560 --> 00:32:19.700
 of

00:32:19.700 --> 00:32:21.039
 Judea

00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:21.700
 and Jerusalem

00:32:21.700 --> 00:32:22.320
 and Galilee

00:32:22.320 --> 00:32:23.840
 we are in

00:32:23.840 --> 00:32:24.580
 North America

00:32:24.580 --> 00:32:25.279
 that wasn't

00:32:25.279 --> 00:32:26.139
 discovered by

00:32:26.139 --> 00:32:26.579
 Europe

00:32:26.579 --> 00:32:28.539
 until 500

00:32:28.539 --> 00:32:29.119
 years ago

00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:30.599
 we are the

00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:31.180
 Tyre and

00:32:31.180 --> 00:32:32.059
 Sidon times

00:32:32.059 --> 00:32:32.720
 a hundred

00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:33.379
 times a

00:32:33.379 --> 00:32:33.779
 thousand

00:32:33.779 --> 00:32:34.319
 we are the

00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:34.879
 far off

00:32:34.879 --> 00:32:35.299
 ones

00:32:35.299 --> 00:32:36.920
 we are the

00:32:36.920 --> 00:32:37.539
 ones that

00:32:37.539 --> 00:32:38.059
 are like

00:32:38.059 --> 00:32:39.059
 the end of

00:32:39.059 --> 00:32:39.480
 the earth

00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:40.039
 away from

00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:40.519
 Jerusalem

00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:41.240
 and Judea

00:32:41.240 --> 00:32:41.599
 and the

00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:42.139
 Galilee

00:32:42.139 --> 00:32:43.940
 and God's

00:32:43.940 --> 00:32:44.960
 grace extends

00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:45.639
 to us

00:32:45.639 --> 00:32:46.680
 and not

00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:47.319
 because

00:32:47.319 --> 00:32:48.059
 there's the

00:32:48.059 --> 00:32:48.420
 internet

00:32:48.420 --> 00:32:50.160
 or mail

00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:51.039
 or whatever

00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:51.759
 ships that

00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:52.700
 sailed across

00:32:52.700 --> 00:32:53.240
 the sea

00:32:53.240 --> 00:32:53.539
 in the

00:32:53.539 --> 00:32:54.420
 1400s

00:32:54.420 --> 00:32:55.800
 is because

00:32:55.800 --> 00:32:56.200
 God's

00:32:56.200 --> 00:32:56.519
 purposes

00:32:56.519 --> 00:32:56.960
 can't be

00:32:56.960 --> 00:32:57.420
 stopped

00:32:57.420 --> 00:32:59.820
 they

00:32:59.820 --> 00:33:00.740
 can't

00:33:00.740 --> 00:33:03.460
 hell

00:33:03.460 --> 00:33:04.060
 rages

00:33:04.060 --> 00:33:04.640
 against

00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:05.180
 God

00:33:05.180 --> 00:33:06.779
 and what

00:33:06.779 --> 00:33:07.120
 does he

00:33:07.120 --> 00:33:07.440
 do

00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:07.660
 he

00:33:07.660 --> 00:33:08.120
 defeats

00:33:08.120 --> 00:33:08.400
 it

00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:11.080
 it's a

00:33:11.080 --> 00:33:11.420
 wonderful

00:33:11.420 --> 00:33:11.800
 thing

00:33:11.800 --> 00:33:12.100
 it's a

00:33:12.100 --> 00:33:12.420
 wonderful

00:33:12.420 --> 00:33:13.019
 promise

00:33:13.019 --> 00:33:13.560
 and it

00:33:13.560 --> 00:33:14.060
 is ours

00:33:14.060 --> 00:33:14.600
 today

00:33:14.600 --> 00:33:15.759
 friends

00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:16.759
 let us

00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:17.120
 not have

00:33:17.120 --> 00:33:17.340
 hard

00:33:17.340 --> 00:33:17.800
 hearts

00:33:17.800 --> 00:33:19.060
 let us

00:33:19.060 --> 00:33:19.740
 not think

00:33:19.740 --> 00:33:20.779
 with smugness

00:33:20.779 --> 00:33:21.140
 that we

00:33:21.140 --> 00:33:21.580
 are self

00:33:21.580 --> 00:33:21.960
 righteous

00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:23.100
 because of

00:33:23.100 --> 00:33:23.420
 what we

00:33:23.420 --> 00:33:23.740
 do

00:33:23.740 --> 00:33:24.140
 or what

00:33:24.140 --> 00:33:24.319
 we

00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:24.740
 know

00:33:24.740 --> 00:33:25.940
 we

00:33:25.940 --> 00:33:26.120
 don't

00:33:26.120 --> 00:33:26.360
 want

00:33:26.360 --> 00:33:26.500
 the

00:33:26.500 --> 00:33:26.680
 living

00:33:26.680 --> 00:33:26.940
 God

00:33:26.940 --> 00:33:27.140
 to

00:33:27.140 --> 00:33:27.720
 grieve

00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:28.660
 because

00:33:28.660 --> 00:33:29.100
 of our

00:33:29.100 --> 00:33:29.340
 hard

00:33:29.340 --> 00:33:29.799
 heartness

00:33:29.799 --> 00:33:30.779
 even worse

00:33:30.779 --> 00:33:31.180
 we don't

00:33:31.180 --> 00:33:31.720
 want him

00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:32.019
 to be

00:33:32.019 --> 00:33:32.600
 we don't

00:33:32.600 --> 00:33:32.799
 want to

00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:33.500
 kindle his

00:33:33.500 --> 00:33:33.840
 anger

00:33:33.840 --> 00:33:34.680
 against us

00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:36.940
 but friends

00:33:36.940 --> 00:33:38.299
 we don't have to

00:33:38.299 --> 00:33:38.779
 taste death

00:33:38.779 --> 00:33:39.220
 do we

00:33:39.220 --> 00:33:40.120
 because Christ

00:33:40.120 --> 00:33:40.680
 tasted it

00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:41.200
 for us

00:33:41.200 --> 00:33:42.340
 so let us

00:33:42.340 --> 00:33:42.940
 strive

00:33:42.940 --> 00:33:44.480
 by God's

00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:44.779
 strength

00:33:44.779 --> 00:33:45.100
 to be

00:33:45.100 --> 00:33:45.500
 God's

00:33:45.500 --> 00:33:45.779
 people

00:33:45.779 --> 00:33:46.059
 doing

00:33:46.059 --> 00:33:46.620
