00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.060
 A.W. Tozer once said,

00:00:05.139 --> 00:00:09.900
 What comes into your mind when you think about God

00:00:09.900 --> 00:00:13.800
 is the most important thing about you.

00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:22.300
 The way you think about God, the image that you have in your mind,

00:00:22.660 --> 00:00:25.640
 will shape the way you make decisions,

00:00:27.080 --> 00:00:28.600
 determine your values,

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:36.700
 will impact your interactions with others and the choices that you make.

00:00:39.380 --> 00:00:43.019
 What comes into your mind when you think about God

00:00:43.019 --> 00:00:47.679
 is the most important thing about you.

00:00:51.740 --> 00:00:55.260
 I'm reminded of a story of a mum who had twin boys.

00:00:55.260 --> 00:00:56.780
 They were five, six years old.

00:00:56.780 --> 00:01:06.200
 She was cooking some pancakes and they were arguing quite fiercely who was going to have the first one.

00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:10.180
 So she came up with an idea and she said,

00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:15.120
 What do you think Jesus would do in this situation?

00:01:16.520 --> 00:01:20.740
 She said, I reckon that Jesus, if he were right here right now,

00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:21.400
 would say,

00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:23.760
 You can go first.

00:01:25.320 --> 00:01:27.020
 You can have the first pancake.

00:01:27.019 --> 00:01:29.339
 I can wait.

00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:34.060
 Suddenly all went quiet between these two boys.

00:01:35.420 --> 00:01:37.359
 Until one eventually piped up.

00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:39.399
 Ryan,

00:01:40.039 --> 00:01:41.599
 you can be Jesus.

00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:51.079
 We have this idea in our minds that being a king is all about,

00:01:51.339 --> 00:01:52.519
 you know, you wield the power.

00:01:53.259 --> 00:01:54.179
 You're in charge.

00:01:54.839 --> 00:01:56.219
 You know, that game, king for the day.

00:01:56.299 --> 00:01:57.780
 What would you do with all that power?

00:01:59.780 --> 00:02:01.879
 If that's the first thing that comes into our head

00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:03.819
 when we think of God as king,

00:02:04.479 --> 00:02:06.060
 well, through the lens of Jesus,

00:02:06.060 --> 00:02:08.560
 we need to rethink that image.

00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:14.159
 And over these next few minutes,

00:02:14.259 --> 00:02:16.979
 there's so, so much we could pull out of this conversation.

00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:21.759
 But as we think of Jesus

00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:23.939
 before Pilate,

00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:26.620
 or is it Pilate before Jesus?

00:02:26.620 --> 00:02:31.539
 And we think of the exchanges that go between them.

00:02:31.659 --> 00:02:32.520
 And by the way,

00:02:32.659 --> 00:02:35.420
 it's fascinatingly ironic, isn't it?

00:02:35.620 --> 00:02:37.379
 How it's a religious leader

00:02:37.379 --> 00:02:38.920
 who,

00:02:40.099 --> 00:02:41.460
 because of his religiosity,

00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:45.040
 refuses to go into a Gentile home

00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:45.960
 because it's the Passover.

00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:47.240
 Because if he does so,

00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:48.819
 he wouldn't have time to undergo

00:02:48.819 --> 00:02:51.080
 all the processes of purification

00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:53.780
 that religion would tell him he would have to do.

00:02:56.620 --> 00:02:59.460
 But Jesus is sent into that place.

00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:03.180
 The very one who actually would save us all.

00:03:03.939 --> 00:03:05.920
 Who goes right into the palace

00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:08.060
 of Pilate

00:03:08.060 --> 00:03:10.099
 and is on trial.

00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:13.060
 And as this conversation takes place,

00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:13.980
 as it plays out,

00:03:14.640 --> 00:03:15.000
 as I say,

00:03:15.060 --> 00:03:15.980
 there are so many things

00:03:15.980 --> 00:03:17.740
 that we could draw attention to.

00:03:17.860 --> 00:03:19.219
 But I want to focus on just one,

00:03:19.219 --> 00:03:20.840
 just one thing

00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:24.599
 that Jesus says to Pilate,

00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:27.120
 which I would suggest to you

00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.019
 perhaps offers us

00:03:29.019 --> 00:03:31.139
 one of the most profound things

00:03:31.139 --> 00:03:34.120
 about the kingship of Jesus.

00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:36.539
 And it's when

00:03:36.539 --> 00:03:38.759
 Pilate says

00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:40.560
 to Jesus,

00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:41.959
 are you the king

00:03:41.959 --> 00:03:43.500
 of the Jews?

00:03:45.900 --> 00:03:47.219
 And Jesus asked,

00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:51.039
 is that your own idea?

00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:55.219
 Or did others talk to you

00:03:55.219 --> 00:03:55.979
 about me?

00:04:00.079 --> 00:04:01.120
 Is that your idea?

00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:05.060
 It homes in

00:04:05.060 --> 00:04:06.539
 on the personal.

00:04:06.699 --> 00:04:08.280
 This is close up and personal.

00:04:10.139 --> 00:04:10.379
 You see,

00:04:10.419 --> 00:04:11.359
 when we think of a king,

00:04:11.359 --> 00:04:13.219
 we probably think of somebody

00:04:13.219 --> 00:04:14.319
 who has power

00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:16.379
 over vast numbers of people.

00:04:16.379 --> 00:04:21.399
 Jesus has power

00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:22.180
 over everything.

00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:25.659
 But in this conversation,

00:04:26.180 --> 00:04:26.759
 he brings it

00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:27.939
 right up and personal.

00:04:29.379 --> 00:04:30.759
 Close up and personal.

00:04:32.699 --> 00:04:34.560
 Is that your own idea?

00:04:36.899 --> 00:04:38.100
 I want you to try

00:04:38.100 --> 00:04:39.159
 and think yourself

00:04:39.159 --> 00:04:40.879
 into Pilate's position there

00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:41.879
 and imagine

00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:43.600
 that Jesus says that

00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:44.759
 in response to you.

00:04:46.379 --> 00:04:48.659
 Is this your idea?

00:04:49.860 --> 00:04:51.339
 What do you think?

00:04:52.740 --> 00:04:54.579
 What have you got to say?

00:04:56.139 --> 00:04:57.579
 It's just you and me.

00:05:01.420 --> 00:05:02.800
 I don't know about you,

00:05:02.939 --> 00:05:04.560
 but in my own experience,

00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:06.420
 I find that when

00:05:06.420 --> 00:05:09.139
 the power of the gospel

00:05:09.139 --> 00:05:11.699
 message really lands,

00:05:12.540 --> 00:05:13.259
 when I've found

00:05:13.259 --> 00:05:15.199
 things about it

00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:15.759
 that have really

00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:16.519
 kind of pushed me

00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:17.560
 forward in my faith

00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:19.139
 and made me do things

00:05:19.139 --> 00:05:19.699
 I never thought

00:05:19.699 --> 00:05:20.839
 actually of a dream

00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:21.379
 possible,

00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:23.539
 it's been when

00:05:23.539 --> 00:05:24.560
 that penny has dropped.

00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:28.060
 But God actually

00:05:28.060 --> 00:05:30.139
 just might be

00:05:30.139 --> 00:05:31.000
 interested in me.

00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:32.719
 Me?

00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:34.879
 Me?

00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:36.399
 Now,

00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:37.919
 I'm reluctant to cite

00:05:37.919 --> 00:05:39.439
 my own experience

00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:40.919
 as an example

00:05:40.919 --> 00:05:41.980
 because there's the danger

00:05:41.980 --> 00:05:42.500
 that it could

00:05:42.500 --> 00:05:44.039
 detract away

00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:45.140
 from what I really

00:05:45.140 --> 00:05:46.080
 want to be the emphasis

00:05:46.080 --> 00:05:46.740
 this morning

00:05:46.740 --> 00:05:47.819
 because it's about

00:05:47.819 --> 00:05:48.260
 you,

00:05:48.660 --> 00:05:49.960
 not me.

00:05:52.700 --> 00:05:53.720
 You and me

00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:54.379
 because it's every

00:05:54.379 --> 00:05:55.340
 single one of us.

00:05:57.540 --> 00:05:59.120
 Is that your own idea,

00:05:59.240 --> 00:05:59.840
 Jesus asked,

00:06:00.400 --> 00:06:01.759
 or did others

00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:02.360
 talk to you

00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:03.020
 about me?

00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:05.879
 The fact is

00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:06.360
 is that

00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:08.020
 those few words

00:06:08.020 --> 00:06:08.820
 reveal something

00:06:08.820 --> 00:06:10.360
 so vital

00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:12.199
 about how the

00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:13.120
 kingship of Jesus

00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:14.100
 needs to be properly

00:06:14.100 --> 00:06:14.680
 understood.

00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:16.199
 That he is not a

00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:17.220
 detached king

00:06:17.220 --> 00:06:19.040
 that is only known

00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:19.819
 by the masses,

00:06:20.500 --> 00:06:22.600
 but he's the king

00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:23.780
 that wants you

00:06:23.780 --> 00:06:24.920
 to know him

00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:27.040
 and you to know

00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:27.780
 that you are known

00:06:27.780 --> 00:06:28.400
 by him.

00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:32.019
 And when

00:06:32.019 --> 00:06:32.819
 we look at

00:06:32.819 --> 00:06:34.000
 these words

00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:34.500
 that Jesus

00:06:34.500 --> 00:06:35.379
 says to Pilate,

00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:37.439
 it opens up

00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:38.419
 something that we

00:06:38.419 --> 00:06:39.379
 see of a pattern

00:06:39.379 --> 00:06:40.560
 in the

00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:42.479
 many conversations

00:06:42.479 --> 00:06:43.599
 that we see

00:06:43.599 --> 00:06:45.319
 happen in the

00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:45.939
 Gospels

00:06:45.939 --> 00:06:47.139
 between Jesus

00:06:47.139 --> 00:06:48.519
 and individuals.

00:06:49.379 --> 00:06:50.099
 When suddenly

00:06:50.099 --> 00:06:50.859
 it gets very

00:06:50.859 --> 00:06:51.479
 close up

00:06:51.479 --> 00:06:52.099
 and personal,

00:06:52.699 --> 00:06:53.719
 time and time

00:06:53.719 --> 00:06:54.399
 and time again

00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:55.179
 we find this.

00:06:55.180 --> 00:06:58.740
 Think of when

00:06:58.740 --> 00:06:59.660
 Jesus is at

00:06:59.660 --> 00:07:00.600
 Caesarea Philippi

00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:01.519
 with his

00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:02.079
 disciples

00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:03.019
 and they're

00:07:03.019 --> 00:07:03.379
 talking,

00:07:03.500 --> 00:07:03.860
 there's rumours

00:07:03.860 --> 00:07:04.420
 going around

00:07:04.420 --> 00:07:04.920
 about who

00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:05.620
 is Jesus.

00:07:07.699 --> 00:07:08.579
 And Jesus

00:07:08.579 --> 00:07:08.800
 says,

00:07:08.960 --> 00:07:09.579
 well, who are

00:07:09.579 --> 00:07:10.120
 people saying

00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:11.840
 that I am?

00:07:11.899 --> 00:07:12.500
 And the

00:07:12.500 --> 00:07:13.079
 disciples say,

00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:13.600
 well, some say

00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:14.139
 you're a prophet,

00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:14.939
 some say

00:07:14.939 --> 00:07:16.939
 that you're

00:07:16.939 --> 00:07:17.480
 John the Baptist,

00:07:17.660 --> 00:07:18.000
 some say

00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:18.579
 you're Elijah,

00:07:18.740 --> 00:07:19.100
 come back.

00:07:19.379 --> 00:07:19.780
 But Jesus

00:07:19.780 --> 00:07:20.860
 then homes

00:07:20.860 --> 00:07:21.439
 right up again.

00:07:21.579 --> 00:07:21.899
 Yeah, but what

00:07:21.899 --> 00:07:22.399
 about you?

00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:24.600
 Who do you

00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:25.019
 say?

00:07:25.180 --> 00:07:26.000
 I am.

00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:32.540
 When I think

00:07:32.540 --> 00:07:33.199
 of the story

00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:34.759
 of when

00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:35.420
 Jesus heals

00:07:35.420 --> 00:07:36.300
 a blind man

00:07:36.300 --> 00:07:38.860
 and asks

00:07:38.860 --> 00:07:39.480
 a question

00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:40.040
 that seems

00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:41.720
 almost insultingly

00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:43.019
 obvious to ask,

00:07:44.019 --> 00:07:44.780
 but Jesus

00:07:44.780 --> 00:07:46.759
 says to him

00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:47.560
 before he

00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:48.120
 heals him,

00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:49.660
 what do

00:07:49.660 --> 00:07:50.920
 you want

00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:52.180
 me to do

00:07:52.180 --> 00:07:53.519
 for you?

00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:59.699
 or when

00:07:59.699 --> 00:07:59.979
 there are

00:07:59.979 --> 00:08:00.919
 5,000 people

00:08:00.919 --> 00:08:01.319
 gathered

00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:01.680
 and they're

00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:02.060
 hungry

00:08:02.060 --> 00:08:02.719
 and the

00:08:02.719 --> 00:08:03.839
 disciples

00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:04.719
 are exhausted

00:08:04.719 --> 00:08:07.740
 and Jesus

00:08:07.740 --> 00:08:08.899
 turns to

00:08:08.899 --> 00:08:09.740
 his disciples

00:08:09.740 --> 00:08:12.159
 with 5,000

00:08:12.159 --> 00:08:12.899
 others there

00:08:12.899 --> 00:08:13.439
 and says,

00:08:13.599 --> 00:08:13.859
 you

00:08:13.859 --> 00:08:16.419
 give them

00:08:16.419 --> 00:08:17.000
 something to

00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:17.359
 eat.

00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:20.800
 I can't

00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:21.240
 help feeling

00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:21.600
 this is

00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:22.020
 something of

00:08:22.020 --> 00:08:22.540
 a recurring

00:08:22.540 --> 00:08:23.199
 pattern in

00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:23.699
 the stories

00:08:23.699 --> 00:08:24.220
 of Jesus

00:08:24.220 --> 00:08:25.100
 that Jesus

00:08:25.100 --> 00:08:25.639
 speaks to

00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:26.120
 somebody and

00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:26.439
 they're kind

00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:26.860
 of thinking

00:08:26.860 --> 00:08:29.500
 you're

00:08:29.500 --> 00:08:29.900
 serious,

00:08:30.020 --> 00:08:30.340
 you're talking

00:08:30.340 --> 00:08:30.780
 to me.

00:08:30.779 --> 00:08:35.419
 I think

00:08:35.419 --> 00:08:35.659
 of the

00:08:35.659 --> 00:08:36.139
 woman who

00:08:36.139 --> 00:08:36.459
 had been

00:08:36.459 --> 00:08:36.980
 hemorrhaging

00:08:36.980 --> 00:08:37.679
 for 12

00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:38.240
 years

00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:39.019
 and there's

00:08:39.019 --> 00:08:39.500
 loads of

00:08:39.500 --> 00:08:39.740
 people

00:08:39.740 --> 00:08:40.259
 crowding

00:08:40.259 --> 00:08:40.639
 around

00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:41.019
 Jesus

00:08:41.019 --> 00:08:41.839
 and everyone's

00:08:41.839 --> 00:08:42.100
 trying to

00:08:42.100 --> 00:08:42.379
 get up

00:08:42.379 --> 00:08:42.819
 close to

00:08:42.819 --> 00:08:42.980
 him,

00:08:43.199 --> 00:08:43.439
 everyone

00:08:43.439 --> 00:08:43.879
 wants a

00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:44.139
 piece of

00:08:44.139 --> 00:08:44.600
 the action,

00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:45.899
 she feels

00:08:45.899 --> 00:08:46.639
 that she's

00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:47.399
 not worthy

00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:48.079
 to approach

00:08:48.079 --> 00:08:48.559
 him so she

00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:49.159
 approaches him

00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:49.819
 from behind

00:08:49.819 --> 00:08:50.600
 with this

00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:51.199
 sense in her

00:08:51.199 --> 00:08:51.339
 head,

00:08:51.579 --> 00:08:52.259
 if only I

00:08:52.259 --> 00:08:52.679
 can just

00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:53.480
 touch the

00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:53.959
 hem of

00:08:53.959 --> 00:08:54.500
 his garment

00:08:54.500 --> 00:08:54.939
 I shall

00:08:54.939 --> 00:08:55.500
 be healed.

00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:56.799
 She does

00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:57.339
 precisely

00:08:57.339 --> 00:08:57.779
 that.

00:08:59.419 --> 00:08:59.679
 Then

00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:00.240
 immediately

00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:01.159
 Jesus

00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:01.700
 turns around

00:09:01.700 --> 00:09:01.980
 and says

00:09:01.980 --> 00:09:02.379
 who touched

00:09:02.379 --> 00:09:02.620
 me?

00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:06.159
 And then

00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:06.919
 looks her

00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:07.360
 in the eye

00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:07.700
 and says

00:09:07.700 --> 00:09:07.980
 go,

00:09:08.820 --> 00:09:09.440
 your faith

00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:10.000
 has made

00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:10.560
 you well.

00:09:16.980 --> 00:09:17.500
 This

00:09:17.500 --> 00:09:17.840
 theme

00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:18.480
 repeats

00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:19.379
 itself over

00:09:19.379 --> 00:09:20.100
 and over

00:09:20.100 --> 00:09:20.740
 and over

00:09:20.740 --> 00:09:21.320
 and over

00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:21.919
 and over.

00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:22.620
 Jesus

00:09:22.620 --> 00:09:23.360
 is the

00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:23.799
 king

00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:24.960
 who is

00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:25.820
 interested

00:09:25.820 --> 00:09:26.639
 in

00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:27.539
 you.

00:09:27.539 --> 00:09:28.159
 God

00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:28.539
 is the

00:09:28.539 --> 00:09:29.539
 king.

00:09:29.539 --> 00:09:30.240
 But of

00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:30.360
 course

00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:30.699
 when we

00:09:30.699 --> 00:09:31.259
 think of

00:09:31.259 --> 00:09:31.599
 a king

00:09:31.599 --> 00:09:32.240
 we can't

00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:32.719
 help but

00:09:32.719 --> 00:09:33.240
 think of

00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:35.120
 large numbers

00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:35.699
 of people

00:09:35.699 --> 00:09:36.319
 because that's

00:09:36.319 --> 00:09:37.019
 what a king

00:09:37.019 --> 00:09:37.319
 is,

00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:37.500
 they're

00:09:37.500 --> 00:09:37.839
 appointed

00:09:37.839 --> 00:09:38.919
 over

00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:40.659
 large numbers.

00:09:42.539 --> 00:09:43.059
 So what

00:09:43.059 --> 00:09:43.779
 about then

00:09:43.779 --> 00:09:44.459
 the theme

00:09:44.459 --> 00:09:44.959
 of large

00:09:44.959 --> 00:09:45.319
 numbers?

00:09:45.459 --> 00:09:45.899
 And let's

00:09:45.899 --> 00:09:46.240
 be honest,

00:09:46.339 --> 00:09:46.699
 it does

00:09:46.699 --> 00:09:47.379
 occur in

00:09:47.379 --> 00:09:47.980
 the Gospels.

00:09:49.939 --> 00:09:50.439
 And here's

00:09:50.439 --> 00:09:50.719
 a really

00:09:50.719 --> 00:09:51.659
 fascinating thing

00:09:51.659 --> 00:09:52.500
 which often

00:09:52.500 --> 00:09:53.419
 gets overlooked

00:09:53.419 --> 00:09:54.000
 and we

00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:54.799
 need to

00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:55.399
 understand

00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:55.919
 properly

00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:58.120
 that even

00:09:58.120 --> 00:09:59.539
 when in

00:09:59.539 --> 00:10:00.279
 the Gospels

00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:01.659
 large numbers

00:10:01.659 --> 00:10:02.399
 of people

00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:03.579
 are mentioned

00:10:03.579 --> 00:10:04.539
 there's

00:10:04.539 --> 00:10:05.339
 something very

00:10:05.339 --> 00:10:06.360
 specific about

00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:06.979
 the way in

00:10:06.979 --> 00:10:07.539
 which they

00:10:07.539 --> 00:10:08.419
 are mentioned.

00:10:10.079 --> 00:10:10.459
 It was

00:10:10.459 --> 00:10:10.919
 back in

00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:12.339
 the 1970s

00:10:12.339 --> 00:10:13.360
 that a

00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:13.819
 Korean

00:10:13.819 --> 00:10:14.779
 professor of

00:10:14.779 --> 00:10:15.240
 theology

00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:16.899
 called

00:10:16.899 --> 00:10:18.000
 An Byung

00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:18.480
 Moo,

00:10:19.019 --> 00:10:19.339
 he lived

00:10:19.339 --> 00:10:20.179
 from 1922

00:10:20.179 --> 00:10:21.059
 to 1996,

00:10:21.059 --> 00:10:24.219
 An Byung

00:10:24.219 --> 00:10:24.679
 Moo

00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:27.019
 noticed a

00:10:27.019 --> 00:10:27.379
 pattern

00:10:27.379 --> 00:10:27.979
 in the

00:10:27.979 --> 00:10:28.459
 Gospels

00:10:28.459 --> 00:10:31.619
 and out

00:10:31.619 --> 00:10:31.819
 of it

00:10:31.819 --> 00:10:32.279
 he developed

00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:32.939
 something that

00:10:32.939 --> 00:10:33.399
 came to be

00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:33.759
 known as

00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:34.339
 Minyung

00:10:34.339 --> 00:10:34.939
 theology.

00:10:35.119 --> 00:10:35.679
 Minyung in

00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:36.259
 Korean means

00:10:36.259 --> 00:10:36.599
 people.

00:10:37.099 --> 00:10:37.739
 But it's all

00:10:37.739 --> 00:10:38.599
 to do with

00:10:38.599 --> 00:10:39.899
 the reoccurrence

00:10:39.899 --> 00:10:40.559
 of a particular

00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:41.639
 word that

00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:42.079
 happens in

00:10:42.079 --> 00:10:42.599
 the Gospels.

00:10:43.619 --> 00:10:44.159
 And the

00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:44.619
 Greek New

00:10:44.619 --> 00:10:45.179
 Testament word

00:10:45.179 --> 00:10:45.819
 is oklos

00:10:45.819 --> 00:10:46.239
 which is

00:10:46.239 --> 00:10:46.859
 translated into

00:10:46.859 --> 00:10:48.000
 people or

00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:48.479
 crowd.

00:10:49.959 --> 00:10:50.419
 But the

00:10:50.419 --> 00:10:51.059
 pattern that

00:10:51.059 --> 00:10:51.799
 we noticed

00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:52.779
 was that

00:10:52.779 --> 00:10:54.079
 this term

00:10:54.079 --> 00:10:54.459
 which is

00:10:54.459 --> 00:10:55.039
 recurring

00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:55.719
 oklos

00:10:55.719 --> 00:10:56.219
 meaning the

00:10:56.219 --> 00:10:56.599
 people

00:10:56.599 --> 00:10:58.659
 occurs in

00:10:58.659 --> 00:10:59.479
 such a way

00:10:59.479 --> 00:11:00.179
 that it would

00:11:00.179 --> 00:11:00.740
 seem that

00:11:00.740 --> 00:11:01.299
 these people

00:11:01.299 --> 00:11:01.860
 are not

00:11:01.860 --> 00:11:03.159
 just some

00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:03.979
 anonymous

00:11:03.979 --> 00:11:05.620
 herd of

00:11:05.620 --> 00:11:06.360
 people.

00:11:07.059 --> 00:11:07.759
 They're not

00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:08.120
 just the

00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:08.599
 backdrop.

00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:10.039
 They're the

00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:10.879
 very focus

00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:11.399
 of Jesus'

00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:12.120
 ministry.

00:11:13.860 --> 00:11:14.419
 Mark

00:11:14.419 --> 00:11:15.099
 chapter 7

00:11:15.099 --> 00:11:15.980
 chapter 8

00:11:15.980 --> 00:11:16.659
 and chapter 5

00:11:16.659 --> 00:11:17.039
 we're told

00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:18.379
 Jesus teaches

00:11:18.379 --> 00:11:19.459
 the oklos

00:11:19.460 --> 00:11:20.000
 the people.

00:11:21.420 --> 00:11:21.820
 Mark

00:11:21.820 --> 00:11:22.680
 chapter 6

00:11:22.680 --> 00:11:23.660
 Jesus has

00:11:23.660 --> 00:11:24.480
 mercy on

00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:25.600
 the oklos

00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:26.400
 the people.

00:11:28.280 --> 00:11:29.460
 Chapters 1

00:11:29.460 --> 00:11:30.180
 and 6

00:11:30.180 --> 00:11:30.840
 Jesus heals

00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:31.360
 the sick

00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:32.220
 among the

00:11:32.220 --> 00:11:33.000
 oklos

00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:33.920
 the people.

00:11:36.460 --> 00:11:37.680
 Chapter 8

00:11:37.680 --> 00:11:39.560
 Jesus feeds

00:11:39.560 --> 00:11:40.440
 the oklos

00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:41.600
 the people.

00:11:43.680 --> 00:11:44.879
 Chapter 3

00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:46.700
 Jesus preaches

00:11:46.700 --> 00:11:47.740
 to the oklos

00:11:47.740 --> 00:11:48.440
 from the boat

00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:49.139
 the people.

00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:51.659
 We're told

00:11:51.659 --> 00:11:52.340
 in chapter 4

00:11:52.340 --> 00:11:52.799
 that Jesus

00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:53.799
 proclaims

00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:55.139
 to the oklos

00:11:55.139 --> 00:11:55.560
 the people

00:11:55.560 --> 00:11:56.120
 the kingdom

00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:56.720
 of God

00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:58.000
 in parables

00:11:58.000 --> 00:11:58.740
 and then in

00:11:58.740 --> 00:11:59.759
 Matthew chapter 5

00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:00.779
 the Sermon on the

00:12:00.779 --> 00:12:01.639
 Mount is addressed

00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:02.340
 to, there's that

00:12:02.340 --> 00:12:02.879
 word again

00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:03.560
 oklos

00:12:03.560 --> 00:12:04.220
 to the people.

00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:07.220
 Jesus

00:12:07.220 --> 00:12:09.100
 in chapter 8

00:12:09.100 --> 00:12:10.460
 calls people

00:12:10.460 --> 00:12:11.240
 together with

00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:12.060
 his disciples

00:12:12.059 --> 00:12:14.319
 and then

00:12:14.319 --> 00:12:14.919
 we're told

00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:15.779
 when Jesus

00:12:15.779 --> 00:12:17.059
 sits

00:12:17.059 --> 00:12:18.399
 and describes

00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:20.219
 the oklos

00:12:20.219 --> 00:12:20.719
 the people

00:12:20.719 --> 00:12:21.319
 he describes

00:12:21.319 --> 00:12:21.639
 them as

00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:22.379
 his true

00:12:22.379 --> 00:12:23.319
 family

00:12:23.319 --> 00:12:24.399
 and say

00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:25.219
 that they

00:12:25.219 --> 00:12:26.219
 are

00:12:26.219 --> 00:12:27.219
 his mother

00:12:27.219 --> 00:12:27.599
 and his

00:12:27.599 --> 00:12:27.939
 brothers

00:12:27.939 --> 00:12:28.679
 and his

00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:29.079
 sisters.

00:12:30.539 --> 00:12:31.819
 In other words

00:12:31.819 --> 00:12:32.699
 that word

00:12:32.699 --> 00:12:33.279
 because it

00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:33.879
 occurs

00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:34.859
 and reoccurs

00:12:34.859 --> 00:12:35.739
 and reoccurs

00:12:35.739 --> 00:12:36.719
 the people

00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:39.040
 it means

00:12:39.040 --> 00:12:39.580
 that when

00:12:39.580 --> 00:12:40.139
 we come

00:12:40.139 --> 00:12:40.600
 across

00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:41.759
 large numbers

00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:42.120
 in the

00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:42.680
 gospels

00:12:42.680 --> 00:12:43.420
 they're not

00:12:43.420 --> 00:12:44.000
 there just

00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:44.440
 to denote

00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:44.920
 some kind

00:12:44.920 --> 00:12:45.500
 of anonymous

00:12:45.500 --> 00:12:46.560
 nameless

00:12:46.560 --> 00:12:47.899
 backdrop

00:12:47.899 --> 00:12:49.040
 that's

00:12:49.040 --> 00:12:49.560
 subordinate

00:12:49.560 --> 00:12:50.399
 to the more

00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:51.100
 important

00:12:51.100 --> 00:12:51.840
 characters

00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:52.440
 that assume

00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:53.300
 centre stage

00:12:53.300 --> 00:12:54.279
 no the very

00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:54.700
 opposite

00:12:54.700 --> 00:12:57.139
 this is the

00:12:57.139 --> 00:12:57.759
 very focus

00:12:57.759 --> 00:12:58.259
 of Jesus'

00:12:58.460 --> 00:12:58.980
 ministry

00:12:58.980 --> 00:13:02.060
 such that

00:13:02.060 --> 00:13:02.800
 when Jesus

00:13:02.800 --> 00:13:03.860
 does come

00:13:03.860 --> 00:13:04.779
 into conversation

00:13:04.779 --> 00:13:05.379
 with an

00:13:05.379 --> 00:13:05.920
 individual

00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:07.299
 that which

00:13:07.299 --> 00:13:08.159
 is implicit

00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:08.839
 when he is

00:13:08.839 --> 00:13:09.279
 talking to

00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:09.939
 the crowds

00:13:09.939 --> 00:13:10.899
 becomes

00:13:10.899 --> 00:13:11.819
 explicit

00:13:11.819 --> 00:13:13.339
 and that's

00:13:13.339 --> 00:13:13.779
 what's going

00:13:13.779 --> 00:13:14.299
 on here

00:13:14.299 --> 00:13:15.099
 as he comes

00:13:15.099 --> 00:13:15.759
 face to face

00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:16.459
 with Pilate

00:13:16.459 --> 00:13:18.579
 because it's

00:13:18.579 --> 00:13:19.059
 the message

00:13:19.059 --> 00:13:19.579
 that he would

00:13:19.579 --> 00:13:19.939
 say to

00:13:19.939 --> 00:13:20.559
 absolutely

00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:21.379
 every single

00:13:21.379 --> 00:13:21.799
 person

00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:22.219
 throughout

00:13:22.219 --> 00:13:22.759
 history

00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:25.479
 you're

00:13:25.479 --> 00:13:25.839
 included

00:13:25.839 --> 00:13:26.360
 in this

00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:28.759
 you need

00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:29.199
 to know

00:13:29.199 --> 00:13:31.639
 the king

00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:33.579
 who speaks

00:13:33.579 --> 00:13:33.939
 to the

00:13:33.939 --> 00:13:34.539
 individual

00:13:34.539 --> 00:13:35.379
 close up

00:13:35.379 --> 00:13:36.639
 and personal

00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:38.379
 and he's

00:13:38.379 --> 00:13:38.939
 as interested

00:13:38.939 --> 00:13:39.500
 in you

00:13:39.500 --> 00:13:40.080
 as he is

00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:40.659
 anybody

00:13:40.659 --> 00:13:41.220
 else

00:13:41.220 --> 00:13:43.480
 you're not

00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:43.919
 just a

00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:44.299
 number

00:13:44.299 --> 00:13:46.860
 you're not

00:13:46.860 --> 00:13:47.240
 just a

00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:47.860
 category

00:13:47.860 --> 00:13:51.000
 Jesus loved

00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:51.399
 and died

00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:51.879
 for you

00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:52.539
 as though

00:13:52.539 --> 00:13:52.820
 you were

00:13:52.820 --> 00:13:53.320
 the only

00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:53.960
 person in

00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:54.320
 the world

00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:55.179
 you're not

00:13:55.179 --> 00:13:56.100
 but it's

00:13:56.100 --> 00:13:56.439
 as though

00:13:56.439 --> 00:13:56.899
 you were

00:13:56.899 --> 00:14:00.659
 now

00:14:00.659 --> 00:14:03.259
 we need

00:14:03.259 --> 00:14:03.980
 to understand

00:14:03.980 --> 00:14:04.679
 this properly

00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:07.419
 because don't

00:14:07.419 --> 00:14:08.019
 think for one

00:14:08.019 --> 00:14:08.419
 moment

00:14:08.419 --> 00:14:09.779
 that this is

00:14:09.779 --> 00:14:10.240
 just a load

00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:10.939
 of cosy

00:14:10.939 --> 00:14:11.340
 stuff

00:14:11.340 --> 00:14:13.899
 because the

00:14:13.899 --> 00:14:14.340
 king who

00:14:14.340 --> 00:14:14.819
 comes up

00:14:14.819 --> 00:14:15.299
 close and

00:14:15.299 --> 00:14:15.720
 personal

00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:17.679
 it doesn't

00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:18.519
 always follow

00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:19.740
 that what

00:14:19.740 --> 00:14:20.019
 he's going

00:14:20.019 --> 00:14:20.379
 to have to

00:14:20.379 --> 00:14:21.000
 say to us

00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:21.240
 are going

00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:21.600
 to be the

00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:22.100
 words that

00:14:22.100 --> 00:14:22.399
 we're going

00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:22.759
 to want to

00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:23.019
 hear

00:14:23.019 --> 00:14:25.659
 because

00:14:25.659 --> 00:14:26.500
 elsewhere in

00:14:26.500 --> 00:14:27.259
 this passage

00:14:27.259 --> 00:14:27.819
 where he's

00:14:27.819 --> 00:14:28.480
 speaking with

00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:28.899
 Pilate

00:14:28.899 --> 00:14:29.980
 he says

00:14:29.980 --> 00:14:30.559
 my kingdom

00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:31.120
 is not

00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:31.600
 of this

00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:32.019
 world

00:14:32.019 --> 00:14:32.860
 he says

00:14:32.860 --> 00:14:33.220
 the reason

00:14:33.220 --> 00:14:33.519
 I was

00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:33.840
 born

00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:34.620
 and came

00:14:34.620 --> 00:14:35.039
 into the

00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:35.299
 world

00:14:35.299 --> 00:14:35.679
 is to

00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:36.220
 testify

00:14:36.220 --> 00:14:36.799
 to the

00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:37.240
 truth

00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:40.079
 you see

00:14:40.079 --> 00:14:41.019
 when we

00:14:41.019 --> 00:14:41.539
 hear the

00:14:41.539 --> 00:14:42.179
 truth

00:14:42.179 --> 00:14:43.720
 sometimes

00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:44.220
 that can

00:14:44.220 --> 00:14:44.779
 be profoundly

00:14:44.779 --> 00:14:45.340
 challenging

00:14:45.340 --> 00:14:47.360
 and the

00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:47.840
 things that

00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:48.360
 he may

00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:48.980
 want to

00:14:48.980 --> 00:14:49.419
 say to

00:14:49.419 --> 00:14:49.620
 us

00:14:49.620 --> 00:14:49.899
 that are

00:14:49.899 --> 00:14:50.379
 close up

00:14:50.379 --> 00:14:50.919
 and personal

00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:51.399
 may not

00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:51.960
 always be

00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:52.419
 the things

00:14:52.419 --> 00:14:52.759
 that we

00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:53.319
 particularly

00:14:53.319 --> 00:14:54.039
 want him

00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:54.639
 to say

00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:55.299
 to us

00:14:55.299 --> 00:14:58.079
 you see

00:14:58.079 --> 00:14:58.899
 God loves

00:14:58.899 --> 00:14:59.639
 you so

00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:00.179
 much that

00:15:00.179 --> 00:15:00.500
 he will

00:15:00.500 --> 00:15:00.979
 meet you

00:15:00.979 --> 00:15:01.360
 where you

00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:01.659
 are

00:15:01.659 --> 00:15:02.259
 literally

00:15:02.259 --> 00:15:02.819
 where you

00:15:02.819 --> 00:15:03.139
 are

00:15:03.139 --> 00:15:05.039
 but he

00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:05.500
 loves you

00:15:05.500 --> 00:15:06.199
 so much

00:15:06.199 --> 00:15:07.479
 that he

00:15:07.479 --> 00:15:08.019
 cares enough

00:15:08.019 --> 00:15:08.679
 about you

00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:09.159
 not to

00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:09.599
 leave you

00:15:09.599 --> 00:15:09.939
 where you

00:15:09.939 --> 00:15:10.199
 are

00:15:10.199 --> 00:15:10.879
 and that

00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:11.360
 may involve

00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:11.759
 some tough

00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:12.259
 talking at

00:15:12.259 --> 00:15:12.699
 times

00:15:12.699 --> 00:15:13.299
 and again

00:15:13.299 --> 00:15:13.639
 we see

00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:13.959
 this in

00:15:13.959 --> 00:15:14.539
 the gospels

00:15:14.539 --> 00:15:15.519
 we see

00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:15.819
 it when

00:15:15.819 --> 00:15:16.279
 Zacchaeus

00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:16.939
 the corrupt

00:15:16.939 --> 00:15:17.959
 tax collector

00:15:17.959 --> 00:15:18.299
 who have

00:15:18.299 --> 00:15:19.000
 swindled

00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:19.699
 people out

00:15:19.699 --> 00:15:20.059
 of more

00:15:20.059 --> 00:15:20.319
 than they

00:15:20.319 --> 00:15:20.620
 were meant

00:15:20.620 --> 00:15:20.860
 to be

00:15:20.860 --> 00:15:21.199
 taken

00:15:21.199 --> 00:15:21.959
 and Jesus

00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:22.519
 looks up

00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:22.720
 at him

00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:22.940
 again

00:15:22.940 --> 00:15:23.360
 once to

00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:23.540
 one

00:15:23.540 --> 00:15:24.340
 says

00:15:24.340 --> 00:15:24.840
 you

00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:26.620
 I'm

00:15:26.620 --> 00:15:26.879
 coming

00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:27.379
 to your

00:15:27.379 --> 00:15:27.700
 house

00:15:27.700 --> 00:15:28.000
 this

00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:28.440
 day

00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:32.460
 or that

00:15:32.460 --> 00:15:33.180
 amazing

00:15:33.180 --> 00:15:33.820
 conversation

00:15:33.820 --> 00:15:34.580
 between

00:15:34.580 --> 00:15:35.420
 Jesus

00:15:35.420 --> 00:15:36.320
 and the

00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:36.879
 Samaritan

00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:37.340
 woman

00:15:37.340 --> 00:15:38.860
 again

00:15:38.860 --> 00:15:39.240
 Jewish

00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:39.460
 Lord

00:15:39.460 --> 00:15:40.220
 prohibited

00:15:40.220 --> 00:15:40.840
 from having

00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:41.040
 that

00:15:41.040 --> 00:15:41.639
 conversation

00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:42.560
 but there

00:15:42.560 --> 00:15:43.019
 he goes

00:15:43.019 --> 00:15:43.440
 up to

00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:43.600
 her

00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:43.920
 by the

00:15:43.920 --> 00:15:44.220
 well

00:15:44.220 --> 00:15:46.480
 he'd never

00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:46.840
 met her

00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:47.120
 before

00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:47.500
 and yet

00:15:47.500 --> 00:15:48.139
 says to

00:15:48.139 --> 00:15:48.460
 her

00:15:48.460 --> 00:15:50.740
 you

00:15:50.740 --> 00:15:50.920
 have

00:15:50.920 --> 00:15:51.100
 had

00:15:51.100 --> 00:15:51.519
 five

00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:51.960
 husbands

00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:52.440
 already

00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:54.280
 and the

00:15:54.280 --> 00:15:54.639
 man you

00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:54.920
 are now

00:15:54.920 --> 00:15:55.139
 living

00:15:55.139 --> 00:15:55.460
 with

00:15:55.460 --> 00:15:56.100
 is not

00:15:56.100 --> 00:15:56.480
 your

00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:56.940
 husband

00:15:56.940 --> 00:16:00.800
 or the

00:16:00.800 --> 00:16:01.060
 rich

00:16:01.060 --> 00:16:01.379
 young

00:16:01.379 --> 00:16:01.740
 ruler

00:16:01.740 --> 00:16:02.040
 who

00:16:02.040 --> 00:16:02.360
 comes

00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:02.560
 to

00:16:02.560 --> 00:16:02.820
 Jesus

00:16:02.820 --> 00:16:03.180
 saying

00:16:03.180 --> 00:16:03.379
 what

00:16:03.379 --> 00:16:03.759
 must I

00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:03.960
 do

00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:04.180
 to

00:16:04.180 --> 00:16:04.560
 inherit

00:16:04.560 --> 00:16:05.139
 internal

00:16:05.139 --> 00:16:05.600
 life

00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:07.720
 and he

00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:08.440
 goes through

00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:08.820
 the law

00:16:08.820 --> 00:16:09.019
 all the

00:16:09.019 --> 00:16:09.220
 different

00:16:09.220 --> 00:16:09.540
 things

00:16:09.540 --> 00:16:09.800
 that he's

00:16:09.800 --> 00:16:10.060
 done

00:16:10.060 --> 00:16:10.500
 and

00:16:10.500 --> 00:16:12.120
 he seems

00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:12.400
 like he's

00:16:12.400 --> 00:16:12.660
 lived a

00:16:12.660 --> 00:16:13.040
 pretty good

00:16:13.040 --> 00:16:13.500
 life

00:16:13.500 --> 00:16:14.639
 but Jesus

00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:15.080
 knowing that

00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:15.300
 he is

00:16:15.300 --> 00:16:15.660
 rich

00:16:15.660 --> 00:16:16.180
 says to

00:16:16.180 --> 00:16:16.360
 him

00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:16.620
 there's

00:16:16.620 --> 00:16:16.980
 one more

00:16:16.980 --> 00:16:17.200
 thing

00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:17.560
 you can

00:16:17.560 --> 00:16:17.840
 do

00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:20.000
 let go

00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:20.460
 of all

00:16:20.460 --> 00:16:20.700
 of your

00:16:20.700 --> 00:16:21.100
 riches

00:16:21.100 --> 00:16:23.080
 and follow

00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:23.420
 me

00:16:23.420 --> 00:16:27.280
 sometimes

00:16:27.280 --> 00:16:27.879
 those words

00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:28.460
 of truth

00:16:28.460 --> 00:16:29.500
 when truth

00:16:29.500 --> 00:16:30.240
 can be so

00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:30.800
 powerfully

00:16:30.800 --> 00:16:31.480
 unsettling

00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:33.280
 when truth

00:16:33.280 --> 00:16:33.879
 meets the

00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:34.500
 patterns of

00:16:34.500 --> 00:16:34.960
 this world

00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:35.340
 with which

00:16:35.340 --> 00:16:35.720
 we are

00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:36.100
 familiar

00:16:36.100 --> 00:16:37.740
 they shake

00:16:37.740 --> 00:16:38.320
 its very

00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:39.000
 foundations

00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:40.700
 and it

00:16:40.700 --> 00:16:41.060
 should not

00:16:41.060 --> 00:16:41.920
 surprise us

00:16:41.920 --> 00:16:42.600
 that Jesus

00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:43.680
 was crucified

00:16:43.680 --> 00:16:45.920
 because truth

00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:48.039
 and love

00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:50.360
 entered everything

00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:51.179
 else that we

00:16:51.179 --> 00:16:52.240
 accept as

00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:52.819
 versions of

00:16:52.819 --> 00:16:53.139
 the truth

00:16:53.139 --> 00:16:53.500
 but which

00:16:53.500 --> 00:16:53.979
 are not

00:16:53.979 --> 00:16:58.459
 the voice

00:16:58.459 --> 00:16:58.919
 of the king

00:16:58.919 --> 00:16:59.539
 can become

00:16:59.539 --> 00:17:00.199
 so deeply

00:17:00.199 --> 00:17:00.679
 challenging

00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:03.519
 because when

00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:04.259
 love and

00:17:04.259 --> 00:17:04.819
 truth that

00:17:04.819 --> 00:17:05.539
 belong together

00:17:05.539 --> 00:17:07.180
 land in our

00:17:07.180 --> 00:17:07.700
 own lives

00:17:07.700 --> 00:17:08.259
 in that way

00:17:08.259 --> 00:17:08.559
 that are

00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:10.039
 close up

00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:10.619
 and personal

00:17:10.619 --> 00:17:12.740
 we will be

00:17:12.740 --> 00:17:13.039
 shaken

00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:15.119
 we will

00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:15.819
 be disturbed

00:17:15.819 --> 00:17:21.680
 the big

00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:22.180
 thing is

00:17:22.180 --> 00:17:24.180
 you're not

00:17:24.180 --> 00:17:24.500
 just a

00:17:24.500 --> 00:17:24.740
 number

00:17:24.740 --> 00:17:26.599
 you're not

00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:27.180
 a category

00:17:27.180 --> 00:17:30.180
 he wants

00:17:30.180 --> 00:17:30.519
 to speak

00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:30.920
 to you

00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:31.359
 as much

00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:31.779
 as anybody

00:17:31.779 --> 00:17:32.259
 else

00:17:32.259 --> 00:17:35.579
 and as we

00:17:35.579 --> 00:17:36.059
 draw this

00:17:36.059 --> 00:17:36.619
 to a close

00:17:36.619 --> 00:17:37.039
 now as we

00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:37.619
 come to pray

00:17:37.619 --> 00:17:38.079
 together

00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:38.460
 I'm going to

00:17:38.460 --> 00:17:38.839
 ask perhaps

00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:39.399
 if the music

00:17:39.399 --> 00:17:39.980
 team would

00:17:39.980 --> 00:17:41.220
 like to

00:17:41.220 --> 00:17:43.940
 resume

00:17:43.940 --> 00:17:45.740
 I'm going

00:17:45.740 --> 00:17:46.079
 to read

00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:46.539
 to you

00:17:46.539 --> 00:17:47.120
 a piece

00:17:47.120 --> 00:17:48.819
 as we

00:17:48.819 --> 00:17:49.140
 come to

00:17:49.140 --> 00:17:49.440
 pray

00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:51.539
 and it's

00:17:51.539 --> 00:17:52.019
 a piece

00:17:52.019 --> 00:17:52.559
 that you

00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:52.900
 may have

00:17:52.900 --> 00:17:53.460
 come across

00:17:53.460 --> 00:17:53.920
 before

00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:56.620
 it was

00:17:56.620 --> 00:17:57.140
 written a few

00:17:57.140 --> 00:17:57.600
 years ago

00:17:57.600 --> 00:17:58.279
 now and

00:17:58.279 --> 00:17:59.100
 it's called

00:17:59.100 --> 00:17:59.720
 the father's

00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:00.299
 love letter

00:18:00.299 --> 00:18:03.500
 somebody

00:18:03.500 --> 00:18:04.000
 took

00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:04.980
 went through

00:18:04.980 --> 00:18:05.440
 scripture

00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:07.200
 and

00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:08.680
 picked out

00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:09.819
 many verses

00:18:09.819 --> 00:18:10.440
 of scripture

00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:12.340
 and put

00:18:12.340 --> 00:18:12.940
 them together

00:18:12.940 --> 00:18:14.100
 to read

00:18:14.100 --> 00:18:14.700
 one piece

00:18:14.700 --> 00:18:15.559
 of communication

00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:17.880
 and when we

00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:18.320
 read them

00:18:18.320 --> 00:18:18.960
 together like

00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:19.460
 this we

00:18:19.460 --> 00:18:20.460
 get the

00:18:20.460 --> 00:18:20.860
 pattern

00:18:20.860 --> 00:18:21.820
 of what

00:18:21.820 --> 00:18:22.220
 God is

00:18:22.220 --> 00:18:22.720
 saying to

00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:23.059
 us

00:18:23.059 --> 00:18:23.680
 in the

00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:24.039
 life of

00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:24.320
 Jesus

00:18:24.320 --> 00:18:25.920
 now there

00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:26.140
 is the

00:18:26.140 --> 00:18:26.500
 danger

00:18:26.500 --> 00:18:26.980
 when we

00:18:26.980 --> 00:18:27.460
 talk in

00:18:27.460 --> 00:18:27.880
 this kind

00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:28.259
 of way

00:18:28.259 --> 00:18:29.120
 that things

00:18:29.120 --> 00:18:29.779
 can collapse

00:18:29.779 --> 00:18:31.180
 into sloppy

00:18:31.180 --> 00:18:32.340
 sentimentalism

00:18:32.340 --> 00:18:34.299
 that would

00:18:34.299 --> 00:18:34.840
 be true

00:18:34.840 --> 00:18:35.400
 if we

00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:36.080
 took leave

00:18:36.080 --> 00:18:36.700
 of scripture

00:18:36.700 --> 00:18:36.799
 scripture

00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:38.720
 but the

00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:39.240
 words I'm

00:18:39.240 --> 00:18:39.700
 about to

00:18:39.700 --> 00:18:40.200
 read to

00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:40.519
 you

00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:41.559
 every single

00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:41.940
 one of

00:18:41.940 --> 00:18:42.220
 these

00:18:42.220 --> 00:18:43.559
 phrases

00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:44.980
 sentences

00:18:44.980 --> 00:18:46.140
 is either

00:18:46.140 --> 00:18:46.799
 a direct

00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:47.400
 quotation

00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:48.200
 from scripture

00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:50.299
 or it's

00:18:50.299 --> 00:18:51.160
 directly derived

00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:51.819
 from scripture

00:18:51.819 --> 00:18:52.819
 and in

00:18:52.819 --> 00:18:53.380
 between each

00:18:53.380 --> 00:18:53.600
 of the

00:18:53.600 --> 00:18:54.000
 sentences

00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:54.559
 there's a

00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:55.180
 reference to

00:18:55.180 --> 00:18:55.460
 where it

00:18:55.460 --> 00:18:56.019
 comes from

00:18:56.019 --> 00:18:56.779
 I'm not

00:18:56.779 --> 00:18:57.019
 going to

00:18:57.019 --> 00:18:57.620
 read those

00:18:57.620 --> 00:18:58.000
 out

00:18:58.000 --> 00:18:59.400
 but I'm

00:18:59.400 --> 00:18:59.559
 going to

00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:00.200
 place copies

00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:00.620
 of what I'm

00:19:00.620 --> 00:19:01.080
 about to

00:19:01.080 --> 00:19:01.460
 read out

00:19:01.460 --> 00:19:01.860
 there and

00:19:01.860 --> 00:19:02.120
 you can

00:19:02.120 --> 00:19:02.539
 take one

00:19:02.539 --> 00:19:02.860
 and take

00:19:02.860 --> 00:19:03.299
 one home

00:19:03.299 --> 00:19:03.880
 afterwards

00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:06.260
 well as I

00:19:06.260 --> 00:19:06.660
 read these

00:19:06.660 --> 00:19:07.180
 words

00:19:07.180 --> 00:19:08.860
 you might

00:19:08.860 --> 00:19:09.220
 find it

00:19:09.220 --> 00:19:09.660
 helpful to

00:19:09.660 --> 00:19:10.120
 close your

00:19:10.120 --> 00:19:10.520
 eyes or

00:19:10.520 --> 00:19:10.840
 to keep

00:19:10.840 --> 00:19:11.280
 them open

00:19:11.280 --> 00:19:13.360
 but hear

00:19:13.360 --> 00:19:14.100
 these words

00:19:14.100 --> 00:19:14.480
 as not

00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:14.780
 just to

00:19:14.780 --> 00:19:15.080
 somebody

00:19:15.080 --> 00:19:15.480
 else

00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:17.700
 but to

00:19:17.700 --> 00:19:18.040
 you

00:19:18.040 --> 00:19:20.780
 from the

 I

00:20:11.620 --> 00:20:12.200
 planned

 day

00:20:38.699 --> 00:20:39.000
 you

00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:39.179
 were

00:20:41.299 --> 00:20:41.480
 been

00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:42.399
 misrepresented

00:20:42.399 --> 00:20:42.859
 by

00:20:42.859 --> 00:20:43.240
 those

00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:43.419

00:20:47.299 --> 00:20:47.759
 angry

00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:48.240
 but

00:20:50.980 --> 00:20:51.139
 it

00:20:51.139 --> 00:20:51.339
 is

00:20:51.339 --> 00:20:51.659
 my

 desire
