00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.560
 Do turn, if you will, to John chapter 13 in the church Bibles.

00:00:05.560 --> 00:00:10.980
 I said I hoped to kind of do two more sermons in Psalm 17,

00:00:10.980 --> 00:00:13.939
 but I've been away and the end of this week was chaos.

00:00:13.939 --> 00:00:23.339
 So I've kind of been working on an article on the three nevers that Peter says to our Lord.

00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:25.140
 So you're going to get the fruit of that this morning.

00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:27.280
 And then it's something from Hebrews 13 tonight.

00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:32.679
 No Lord. No Lord. Have you ever said that?

00:00:34.420 --> 00:00:37.620
 No Lord. What a stupid thing to say.

00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:43.320
 How crazy it is to call him Lord and to say no to him.

00:00:45.140 --> 00:00:47.060
 Either he is Lord or he isn't.

00:00:48.460 --> 00:00:51.000
 And if he is Lord, you can't say no to him.

00:00:51.760 --> 00:00:52.480
 Or maybe you do.

00:00:54.040 --> 00:00:57.000
 Look at Peter in this passage. Look at verse 8.

00:00:58.280 --> 00:00:59.719
 Of chapter 13.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:01.539
 Peter says, no, no, no.

00:01:02.300 --> 00:01:05.400
 You will never wash my feet.

00:01:06.900 --> 00:01:08.060
 Never ever. Literally.

00:01:09.700 --> 00:01:11.719
 And not to all eternity, he says.

00:01:11.780 --> 00:01:13.299
 Never in a million years, Lord.

00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:16.340
 And this isn't the only time that Peter says no to Jesus.

00:01:16.420 --> 00:01:19.280
 Three times Peter says no to Jesus.

00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:22.140
 The most obvious time is at Caesarea Philippi.

00:01:23.140 --> 00:01:24.960
 Where he says no to the cross.

00:01:25.060 --> 00:01:26.640
 Jesus says this is what is going to happen to me.

00:01:27.099 --> 00:01:28.519
 And Peter says no, no, no.

00:01:29.060 --> 00:01:30.000
 That's not to happen.

00:01:31.099 --> 00:01:33.519
 And Jesus says get behind me, Satan.

00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:36.759
 Now there are many people on there.

00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:40.759
 There are actually many churches that would like to take the cross out of Christianity.

00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:43.759
 Now they'd love to do that.

00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:49.740
 But Jesus says, doesn't he, to that, get behind me, Satan.

00:01:51.240 --> 00:01:52.300
 Now Peter was one of those people.

00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:53.280
 He said no, Lord.

00:01:54.140 --> 00:01:55.180
 That will never happen to you.

00:01:55.480 --> 00:02:01.240
 And now he is saying no to having his feet washed by Jesus.

00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:05.979
 He's saying no to a changed life by Jesus, actually.

00:02:07.179 --> 00:02:10.039
 He wants Christianity without cleansing.

00:02:11.259 --> 00:02:12.419
 And it's not possible.

00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:14.039
 It's not possible.

00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:18.680
 It's a really famous episode, isn't it?

00:02:18.699 --> 00:02:19.340
 John 13.

00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:20.819
 You'll be familiar with it.

00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:25.459
 It's been ritualized and dramatized every Easter around the world.

00:02:26.259 --> 00:02:29.479
 It's inspired great works of art by Leonardo da Vinci.

00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:34.439
 And Dan Brown thinks he's found a hidden meaning, doesn't he, in the da Vinci code?

00:02:35.979 --> 00:02:38.819
 And people are fascinated, aren't they, by conspiracy theories.

00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:42.620
 Especially if they seem to discredit Christianity.

00:02:44.839 --> 00:02:47.399
 Well, if you've read the da Vinci code, it's absolute nonsense.

00:02:47.539 --> 00:02:50.879
 But I do want to say to you, there is a hidden meaning in this incident, isn't there?

00:02:52.060 --> 00:02:53.099
 I look at verse 7.

00:02:54.359 --> 00:02:55.419
 It says there.

00:02:55.419 --> 00:03:01.719
 It says what I'm doing, you do not understand now, but afterwards you will understand.

00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:04.199
 There's a hidden meaning.

00:03:04.399 --> 00:03:08.259
 It's not apparent now, but Jesus says to them, it will be apparent later.

00:03:10.239 --> 00:03:14.799
 John's Gospel is written, if you've read it, on multiple layers, isn't it?

00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:19.259
 And they're not arbitrarily imposed, a kind of hidden code within it.

00:03:19.259 --> 00:03:24.599
 But there is, deliberately intended by the author, many levels of meaning.

00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:27.099
 And we see that in this passage.

00:03:27.959 --> 00:03:29.579
 And so three things, three things beginning with P.

00:03:29.699 --> 00:03:32.219
 First of all, a portrait, then a parable, and then a pattern.

00:03:32.939 --> 00:03:35.659
 Verses 1 to 5, you can see a portrait of Jesus.

00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:41.899
 And then there's a parable of salvation between Jesus and Peter, verses 6 to 11.

00:03:41.979 --> 00:03:43.419
 And there's a pattern for us to follow.

00:03:43.419 --> 00:03:48.919
 And so writing many decades later, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit,

00:03:49.079 --> 00:03:51.560
 and with the benefit of hindsight, looking back on this event,

00:03:53.500 --> 00:03:55.560
 John sets the scene in these opening words.

00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:56.279
 Look at verse 1.

00:03:56.619 --> 00:03:57.819
 He says this is when it happened.

00:03:58.279 --> 00:04:00.000
 It happened just before Passover.

00:04:02.359 --> 00:04:04.799
 Just before the feast of Passover.

00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:12.400
 And Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of the world.

00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:21.400
 Having loved his own who were with him in the world, he loved them to the end.

00:04:22.500 --> 00:04:27.460
 In other words, John is saying he showed the full extent of his love towards others.

00:04:27.459 --> 00:04:36.079
 In this little passage here, he shows us something of the height and the depth and the length and the breadth of his love.

00:04:36.899 --> 00:04:38.299
 That's what this story is.

00:04:38.379 --> 00:04:39.939
 It's a glorious little picture.

00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:43.339
 It's a picture of love on its knees.

00:04:46.159 --> 00:04:51.359
 Think of a mother with her small children who've dropped food yet again on the floor.

00:04:52.919 --> 00:04:54.839
 Is she proud to her children?

00:04:54.839 --> 00:05:00.659
 Does the mother boast of her accomplishments to her kids?

00:05:01.859 --> 00:05:02.839
 No, of course not.

00:05:04.379 --> 00:05:08.599
 A mother might be very proud of her children, but she is never proud to her children.

00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:10.739
 Because love is not proud, is it?

00:05:11.559 --> 00:05:12.979
 Love is not puffed up.

00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:15.159
 Love does not stand on dignity.

00:05:16.919 --> 00:05:20.379
 So think of even the most powerful, high-flying executive.

00:05:20.919 --> 00:05:24.699
 When he's with his grandchildren, he'll get down on his knees to play, won't he?

00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:25.879
 It's what love does.

00:05:27.159 --> 00:05:28.000
 Love stoops.

00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:31.719
 And that's what Jesus demonstrates in the upper room.

00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:34.819
 He knows, verse 1, his hour has come.

00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:38.359
 He knows that it's now time for him to go to the cross.

00:05:38.500 --> 00:05:41.839
 All through John's Gospel, if you read it, you're told the hour has not yet come.

00:05:41.939 --> 00:05:43.059
 The hour has not yet come.

00:05:43.359 --> 00:05:44.819
 And then you get to chapter 13.

00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:46.199
 The hour has come.

00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:49.939
 And he knows it's time.

00:05:50.039 --> 00:05:50.800
 It's Passover time.

00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:57.779
 It's going to be time for him to lay down his life as a sacrifice to God for the sins of his people.

00:05:58.139 --> 00:05:59.719
 The time has come for him to go to the cross.

00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:04.599
 The time has come for him to leave this world and go to his Father.

00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:09.260
 And he knows in verse 3 that the Father has given all things into his hands.

00:06:09.660 --> 00:06:11.800
 And he knows that he's come from God.

00:06:11.960 --> 00:06:13.960
 And he's going to go back to God.

00:06:14.320 --> 00:06:19.260
 And knowing that, knowing all who he is and all that he's come to do in the world,

00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:22.860
 he comes down from the table.

00:06:22.860 --> 00:06:25.860
 And he takes off his outer clothing.

00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:28.879
 And he wraps a towel around his waist.

00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:31.960
 And he washes the feet of his disciples.

00:06:34.340 --> 00:06:36.040
 And that's what's being painted for us.

00:06:36.300 --> 00:06:37.780
 Love doesn't stand on ceremony.

00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:41.939
 Love gets down on its knees to meet the needs of loved ones.

00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:45.560
 And that's what you see here, isn't it?

00:06:46.580 --> 00:06:49.740
 That is the hidden meaning in this painting.

00:06:49.740 --> 00:06:53.259
 Love which brought him down.

00:06:53.840 --> 00:06:57.240
 Love which brought the creator into his creation.

00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:03.500
 Love which brought the one who flung the stars into space.

00:07:05.180 --> 00:07:12.100
 Love that brought him who was always at the Father's side in glory to the feet of smiley disciples.

00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.240
 The him, it wasn't the nails that held him there.

00:07:17.400 --> 00:07:18.280
 It was his love.

00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:23.559
 For you and for me, having loved his own who were in the world,

00:07:23.799 --> 00:07:24.979
 he loved them to the very end.

00:07:25.019 --> 00:07:25.599
 He saw it through.

00:07:27.479 --> 00:07:33.259
 Probably the best commentary on John chapter 13 is Philippians chapter 2, isn't it?

00:07:34.739 --> 00:07:38.159
 Philippians chapter 2, which says this about him.

00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:47.320
 Jesus Christ, who though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped.

00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:54.700
 But emptied himself by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of man, being found in human form.

00:07:54.940 --> 00:08:00.140
 He humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

00:08:00.139 --> 00:08:06.279
 Joseph de Vista was a missionary in 19th century Hawaii.

00:08:06.659 --> 00:08:08.419
 It's the worst places to go as a missionary.

00:08:09.459 --> 00:08:13.740
 But he was a missionary to the leper colony on the island of Molokai.

00:08:14.740 --> 00:08:15.639
 You might have seen the film.

00:08:15.719 --> 00:08:16.699
 There's a film out about it.

00:08:16.699 --> 00:08:21.719
 One morning, he was preparing to take a service in the leper colony,

00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:27.560
 when Damien actually spilt boiling hot water on his bare foot.

00:08:29.599 --> 00:08:32.159
 It took him a minute to realize what had happened.

00:08:33.700 --> 00:08:35.919
 He realized that he hadn't felt anything.

00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:40.620
 And realizing what that might mean in a leper colony,

00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:45.059
 he poured more boiling water on his foot, on the same spot,

00:08:45.139 --> 00:08:46.399
 and there was no feeling whatsoever.

00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:51.379
 That morning, he went to church, and he opened the service,

00:08:51.459 --> 00:08:55.819
 not in his normal way, dearly beloved, or welcome to IPC, good morning.

00:08:56.319 --> 00:08:58.159
 He opened the service with these words,

00:08:58.839 --> 00:09:02.120
 my fellow lepers, my fellow lepers.

00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:06.720
 What a demonstration of love, isn't it?

00:09:06.860 --> 00:09:11.879
 It's one thing to go to a leper colony to minister to lepers,

00:09:13.100 --> 00:09:17.500
 but to die a leper's death, my fellow lepers.

00:09:20.259 --> 00:09:21.940
 Isn't that what Jesus has done for us?

00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:24.560
 Isn't that what is being demonstrated in this passage?

00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:26.620
 It's telling you that he is a friend of sinners.

00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:30.820
 He is numbered with the transgressors.

00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:33.240
 And that is baptism.

00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:34.779
 We've often thought of it, don't we?

00:09:35.019 --> 00:09:41.879
 He joins the queue of sinners to be baptized by John in the Jordan River,

00:09:42.259 --> 00:09:43.460
 confessing his sins.

00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:47.000
 Jesus is in line with them.

00:09:48.179 --> 00:09:50.440
 Jesus is numbered with the transgressors,

00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:52.100
 even though he was not a sinner himself.

00:09:52.100 --> 00:09:57.120
 He was numbered with the transgressors on the cross.

00:09:57.420 --> 00:09:59.639
 We're told he became sin for us.

00:09:59.879 --> 00:10:02.440
 He who knew no sin became sin.

00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:08.560
 It's him that I used to sing when we were growing up.

00:10:09.659 --> 00:10:11.700
 It's borderline heretical, but it's brilliant.

00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:13.420
 Listen to this.

00:10:13.419 --> 00:10:18.199
 How willing was Jesus to die that we fellow sinners might live?

00:10:19.299 --> 00:10:21.279
 The life they could not take away.

00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:23.179
 How willing was Jesus to give?

00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:24.860
 But Jesus was not a sinner, was he?

00:10:26.599 --> 00:10:27.779
 He was not a sinner.

00:10:27.959 --> 00:10:30.699
 And yet, in identifying himself with us,

00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:32.459
 he became sin for us.

00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:35.719
 Our sin was laid on him.

00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:37.919
 He was numbered with the transgressors.

00:10:38.199 --> 00:10:40.039
 Having loved his own, he loved them to the limit.

00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:43.059
 He loved them to the end.

00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:44.919
 And so what you've got in this passage

00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:47.379
 is a beautiful portrait of a servant king

00:10:47.379 --> 00:10:49.639
 who stoops to meet your need.

00:10:51.939 --> 00:10:53.740
 What you have in that upper room

00:10:53.740 --> 00:10:56.599
 is a prefiguring of what he will do at Calvary.

00:10:57.059 --> 00:10:59.299
 It's a picture of love on its knees.

00:10:59.439 --> 00:11:00.639
 How far love will go.

00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:03.679
 How love far will go to meet the needs

00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:05.240
 of people like you and I.

00:11:07.299 --> 00:11:08.439
 And the answer is this.

00:11:08.539 --> 00:11:09.459
 He will go all the way.

00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:13.860
 Here's the second thing that I want you to see.

00:11:13.959 --> 00:11:15.360
 That all who are loved by Jesus

00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:16.719
 are washed by Jesus.

00:11:18.199 --> 00:11:19.099
 And what I mean by that is

00:11:19.099 --> 00:11:22.240
 there's an interchange between Jesus and the eleven

00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:24.139
 and you see a parable of salvation.

00:11:25.459 --> 00:11:28.439
 It's a parable of salvation.

00:11:28.899 --> 00:11:29.879
 Peter says, doesn't he,

00:11:29.939 --> 00:11:32.559
 just look with me at John 13 again.

00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:36.579
 Peter says when Jesus comes to him

00:11:36.579 --> 00:11:37.779
 with the bowl and the towel,

00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:38.799
 verse eight,

00:11:38.939 --> 00:11:41.359
 you will never wash my feet.

00:11:41.859 --> 00:11:42.579
 Never ever.

00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:43.799
 Not a chance, Lord.

00:11:44.899 --> 00:11:45.979
 And Jesus answered him,

00:11:46.079 --> 00:11:47.500
 if I do not wash you,

00:11:47.939 --> 00:11:49.519
 you have no share with me.

00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:52.799
 It's not about hygiene.

00:11:54.299 --> 00:11:55.340
 It's not about COVID

00:11:55.340 --> 00:11:57.939
 and counting in 20 seconds while you wash.

00:11:58.579 --> 00:11:59.240
 It's about holiness.

00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:00.100
 It's a parable.

00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:04.939
 And Jesus is taking the social conventions of the day

00:12:04.939 --> 00:12:08.159
 and he's preaching the good news,

00:12:08.299 --> 00:12:09.199
 the gospel to Peter.

00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:13.820
 The streets of Jerusalem were filthy.

00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:16.520
 Not only with dirt,

00:12:16.700 --> 00:12:18.259
 but probably with sewage as well.

00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:22.379
 And the streets were a thousand times worse at Passover

00:12:22.379 --> 00:12:26.000
 because the city swerved to about five times its normal size.

00:12:28.020 --> 00:12:30.700
 And so if you went into someone's house on arrival,

00:12:31.520 --> 00:12:33.060
 there would be someone to wash your feet.

00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:36.300
 And maybe it would be a household slave

00:12:36.300 --> 00:12:38.759
 or the lowest in the whole household.

00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:40.980
 And Jesus says to Peter,

00:12:41.420 --> 00:12:42.860
 let me do that for you.

00:12:44.520 --> 00:12:46.060
 Let me be your servant.

00:12:48.020 --> 00:12:50.780
 Let me wash your dirty, smelly feet.

00:12:52.920 --> 00:12:54.259
 And it's too much for him.

00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:59.940
 What you, you wash my smelly feet?

00:13:00.400 --> 00:13:00.780
 Never.

00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:02.180
 Not in a million years.

00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:04.780
 You'll never wash my feet.

00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:05.400
 And Jesus says,

00:13:05.400 --> 00:13:08.520
 unless you let me wash you,

00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:10.059
 you will have no part in me.

00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:13.600
 That's the same word,

00:13:13.659 --> 00:13:14.620
 the word part in me,

00:13:14.699 --> 00:13:16.019
 that's used in the prodigal son.

00:13:17.500 --> 00:13:19.500
 So the younger son goes to his dad, doesn't he?

00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:19.840
 And he says,

00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:21.439
 give me my share in the inheritance.

00:13:21.579 --> 00:13:22.399
 Give me my part.

00:13:24.579 --> 00:13:26.259
 Before he goes and he kicks off the traces.

00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:29.500
 It's the same word that was used for Israel

00:13:29.500 --> 00:13:30.819
 when they came into the promised land.

00:13:30.820 --> 00:13:33.379
 When they were given a share,

00:13:33.560 --> 00:13:35.840
 when they were given a part of the promised land.

00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:38.220
 It's the same word that's used in Revelation.

00:13:38.740 --> 00:13:42.140
 When we will have a share in the tree of life

00:13:42.140 --> 00:13:43.360
 as part of the holy city.

00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:44.560
 And Jesus says,

00:13:44.920 --> 00:13:46.540
 unless I wash you,

00:13:46.760 --> 00:13:48.960
 you'll have no share in what I came to do.

00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:52.740
 In other words, Peter,

00:13:52.800 --> 00:13:53.560
 if you recoil,

00:13:53.800 --> 00:13:55.620
 if you draw back from what I'm doing now,

00:13:55.860 --> 00:13:57.920
 then you're rejecting the very principle

00:13:57.920 --> 00:13:59.300
 on which my kingdom is founded.

00:14:00.160 --> 00:14:01.340
 You reject this,

00:14:01.560 --> 00:14:03.220
 you reject me and everything I stand for.

00:14:05.400 --> 00:14:06.000
 Because, Peter,

00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:07.620
 if you think that washing your feet

00:14:07.620 --> 00:14:08.780
 is offensive,

00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:10.540
 how much more are you going to find

00:14:10.540 --> 00:14:12.300
 the cross of Jesus Christ offensive?

00:14:12.299 --> 00:14:17.419
 If you're too proud to let me wash your feet,

00:14:17.659 --> 00:14:19.919
 how will you ever accept my death on your behalf?

00:14:21.419 --> 00:14:23.879
 My atoning sacrifice for you.

00:14:25.699 --> 00:14:27.159
 And if I don't wash you, Peter,

00:14:27.219 --> 00:14:28.819
 you will have no part with me.

00:14:29.899 --> 00:14:31.359
 No share in what I've come to do.

00:14:33.319 --> 00:14:34.699
 And that's the offense of Christianity.

00:14:34.839 --> 00:14:36.079
 That's the offense of the cross.

00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:39.519
 Unless I wash you.

00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:44.639
 Christianity is about being washed.

00:14:46.740 --> 00:14:48.480
 Christianity is about having

00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:50.860
 your sin cleansed

00:14:50.860 --> 00:14:53.079
 and your sin blotted out.

00:14:56.259 --> 00:14:57.179
 And that's our problem.

00:14:57.279 --> 00:14:58.259
 I want to ask you,

00:14:58.319 --> 00:14:59.279
 how's that happened to you?

00:15:01.299 --> 00:15:02.699
 Have you come to Jesus

00:15:02.699 --> 00:15:05.399
 to be cleansed from your sin?

00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:09.279
 Or are you too proud to do it?

00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:13.960
 Some hymns that we sing,

00:15:14.019 --> 00:15:14.840
 when you think of them,

00:15:15.819 --> 00:15:17.159
 they're so odd, aren't they?

00:15:17.539 --> 00:15:17.939
 Foul,

00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:20.220
 I to the fountain fly,

00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:21.439
 wash me, Saviour,

00:15:21.539 --> 00:15:22.159
 or I die.

00:15:22.439 --> 00:15:22.860
 Foul?

00:15:23.220 --> 00:15:23.740
 A bit extreme.

00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:25.799
 You sing, I'm foul?

00:15:27.899 --> 00:15:29.059
 The dying thief

00:15:29.059 --> 00:15:30.100
 rejoiced to see

00:15:30.100 --> 00:15:31.379
 that fountain in his day,

00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:32.100
 and thereof I,

00:15:32.179 --> 00:15:32.899
 though vile,

00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:35.720
 as he washed all my sins away.

00:15:36.439 --> 00:15:36.840
 Vile?

00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:36.899
 Vile?

00:15:36.899 --> 00:15:36.899


00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:40.480
 Is that what you're saying?

00:15:43.379 --> 00:15:45.019
 And our problem is Peter's problem,

00:15:45.139 --> 00:15:46.419
 that he is too proud

00:15:46.419 --> 00:15:47.919
 to admit that he's got a problem.

00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:52.059
 And many of us are like that,

00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:52.399
 aren't we?

00:15:52.620 --> 00:15:54.500
 We refuse to admit

00:15:54.500 --> 00:15:55.839
 that we need to be cleansed.

00:15:57.459 --> 00:15:58.659
 And we need to be washed.

00:16:00.099 --> 00:16:01.519
 And we need to be made fit

00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:02.719
 for the company of Jesus.

00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:04.159
 I'm not that bad.

00:16:04.219 --> 00:16:05.079
 I'm not that bad.

00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:05.659
 I'm not that bad

00:16:05.659 --> 00:16:06.339
 compared to others.

00:16:06.340 --> 00:16:09.440
 I'm a decent person.

00:16:12.040 --> 00:16:13.300
 It's too humbling, isn't it?

00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:15.960
 And pride is so very subtle

00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:17.200
 that it can invert itself.

00:16:19.500 --> 00:16:20.639
 And so most of us,

00:16:20.780 --> 00:16:21.180
 like Peter,

00:16:21.300 --> 00:16:22.540
 we are far more comfortable,

00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:22.899
 aren't we,

00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:24.820
 with what we can do for Jesus

00:16:24.820 --> 00:16:27.500
 than what he can do for us.

00:16:30.040 --> 00:16:30.720
 And in fact,

00:16:30.800 --> 00:16:31.259
 a lot of people,

00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:32.080
 they think that's what

00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:32.980
 Christianity is all about,

00:16:33.040 --> 00:16:33.280
 don't they?

00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:34.879
 They think that Christianity

00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:36.819
 is all about doing Jesus a favor.

00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:40.659
 It's all about trying your best.

00:16:42.500 --> 00:16:43.860
 But Christianity is not about

00:16:43.860 --> 00:16:45.000
 what you do for Jesus.

00:16:45.259 --> 00:16:46.360
 It is about what Jesus

00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:47.259
 has done for you.

00:16:50.699 --> 00:16:51.860
 And so we see this

00:16:51.860 --> 00:16:52.879
 all the time, don't we,

00:16:52.939 --> 00:16:53.419
 in churches.

00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:56.639
 We can be really happy

00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:58.620
 serving and doing this

00:16:58.620 --> 00:16:59.419
 and doing that,

00:17:00.059 --> 00:17:01.579
 but we hate to be served.

00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:04.740
 It's one of the hardest things,

00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:05.079
 isn't it?

00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:06.460
 I'm told about growing older.

00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:09.500
 That you can't do

00:17:09.500 --> 00:17:10.379
 what you want to do

00:17:10.379 --> 00:17:11.200
 and you can't serve

00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:11.859
 as you used to serve

00:17:11.859 --> 00:17:12.480
 and instead,

00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:13.940
 you have to let

00:17:13.940 --> 00:17:15.599
 other people serve you.

00:17:16.819 --> 00:17:17.539
 And instead of people

00:17:17.539 --> 00:17:18.700
 depending on you,

00:17:20.019 --> 00:17:21.319
 you are dependent on them.

00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:24.920
 But that's a great picture

00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:25.500
 of what Christianity

00:17:25.500 --> 00:17:26.240
 is all about.

00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:26.940
 It is all about

00:17:26.940 --> 00:17:28.379
 what Jesus has done for you.

00:17:28.380 --> 00:17:31.460
 And Jesus says to Peter,

00:17:31.580 --> 00:17:33.500
 unless I wash you,

00:17:33.580 --> 00:17:34.700
 you've completely missed

00:17:34.700 --> 00:17:35.800
 the point altogether

00:17:35.800 --> 00:17:37.520
 and you've got no part

00:17:37.520 --> 00:17:38.500
 in what I've come to do.

00:17:40.580 --> 00:17:41.400
 And at which point,

00:17:41.520 --> 00:17:42.180
 Peter, in kind of

00:17:42.180 --> 00:17:43.180
 characteristic fashion,

00:17:43.320 --> 00:17:44.360
 does this great backflip,

00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:44.680
 doesn't he?

00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:45.420
 Look at verse 9.

00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:46.980
 He goes from one extreme

00:17:46.980 --> 00:17:47.480
 to the other.

00:17:49.180 --> 00:17:49.600
 He says,

00:17:49.840 --> 00:17:50.900
 Lord, not only my feet,

00:17:50.980 --> 00:17:51.740
 but also my hands

00:17:51.740 --> 00:17:52.360
 and my head.

00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:55.879
 First, he protests

00:17:55.879 --> 00:17:58.079
 about washing at all.

00:17:58.139 --> 00:17:58.639
 I don't need to be

00:17:58.639 --> 00:17:59.419
 washed at all.

00:18:01.179 --> 00:18:01.679
 And then he says,

00:18:01.719 --> 00:18:02.419
 I need a bath.

00:18:04.579 --> 00:18:05.659
 And what he needed

00:18:05.659 --> 00:18:06.959
 was to have his feet washed.

00:18:08.500 --> 00:18:09.359
 And Jesus says to him,

00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:09.819
 Peter, actually,

00:18:09.919 --> 00:18:10.740
 you don't need to have

00:18:10.740 --> 00:18:11.439
 another bath.

00:18:11.579 --> 00:18:12.519
 You need your feet washed.

00:18:17.639 --> 00:18:18.519
 If I come to your house

00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:19.359
 for lunch today

00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:21.959
 and somebody comes in

00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:22.440
 from the kitchen

00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:23.100
 and they say,

00:18:23.220 --> 00:18:24.059
 dinner's ready,

00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:25.600
 feel free to wash your hands,

00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:26.380
 and I say,

00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:27.019
 actually,

00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:27.660
 I'm just going to pop

00:18:27.660 --> 00:18:28.200
 in the shower,

00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:31.079
 you would think,

00:18:31.180 --> 00:18:31.340
 wouldn't you,

00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:32.759
 he's a very,

00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:33.620
 very odd man.

00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:38.340
 Because you would hope

00:18:38.340 --> 00:18:38.900
 that I showered

00:18:38.900 --> 00:18:39.840
 before I came to church,

00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:40.319
 which I did.

00:18:41.500 --> 00:18:42.480
 Not when you arrive

00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:43.100
 at someone's house

00:18:43.100 --> 00:18:43.480
 for dinner.

00:18:45.299 --> 00:18:46.059
 It would be weird,

00:18:46.100 --> 00:18:46.319
 wouldn't it?

00:18:46.380 --> 00:18:46.940
 Dinner's ready,

00:18:47.299 --> 00:18:47.960
 I'm just going to jump

00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:48.400
 in your shower.

00:18:48.539 --> 00:18:49.319
 No, what do we do?

00:18:49.360 --> 00:18:50.279
 We wash our hands.

00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:53.799
 I shower you

00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:54.120
 to do that

00:18:54.120 --> 00:18:55.039
 before you left home.

00:18:56.620 --> 00:18:57.600
 And in their case here,

00:18:57.660 --> 00:18:58.539
 it wasn't their hands,

00:18:58.660 --> 00:18:59.279
 but their feet,

00:18:59.440 --> 00:18:59.880
 and they needed

00:18:59.880 --> 00:19:00.920
 their feet to be washed,

00:19:01.019 --> 00:19:01.660
 and so do we.

00:19:02.700 --> 00:19:03.640
 Because as the people

00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:04.259
 of God,

00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:05.360
 as the people of God

00:19:05.360 --> 00:19:06.340
 who have trusted in Christ,

00:19:06.600 --> 00:19:07.720
 we have been forgiven

00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:08.259
 wonderfully.

00:19:10.140 --> 00:19:11.440
 We've been forgiven.

00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:13.880
 If you put your trust

00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:14.620
 in the Lord Jesus Christ,

00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:16.240
 you have been saved,

00:19:16.579 --> 00:19:17.640
 you've been regenerated,

00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:19.079
 you've been born again.

00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:21.819
 But you still need

00:19:21.819 --> 00:19:22.460
 your feet washed.

00:19:24.379 --> 00:19:25.000
 And as we walk

00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:25.899
 through the dirty streets

00:19:25.899 --> 00:19:26.439
 of this world,

00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:27.099
 week by week,

00:19:27.159 --> 00:19:28.119
 we pick up all sorts

00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:29.199
 of yuck on our feet,

00:19:30.740 --> 00:19:32.059
 and we come week by week,

00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:32.359
 don't we,

00:19:32.419 --> 00:19:33.559
 needing to confess our sin.

00:19:33.679 --> 00:19:34.379
 We know that.

00:19:36.980 --> 00:19:37.579
 Every day,

00:19:37.679 --> 00:19:38.199
 it's a parable.

00:19:38.339 --> 00:19:39.119
 Jesus is speaking

00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:39.779
 in language

00:19:39.779 --> 00:19:40.879
 that they could understand

00:19:40.879 --> 00:19:41.679
 and you can understand

00:19:41.679 --> 00:19:42.839
 to point you to the cross.

00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:46.399
 to show your need

00:19:46.399 --> 00:19:47.299
 of what he's about

00:19:47.299 --> 00:19:47.959
 to do for you,

00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:49.079
 to wash away your sin.

00:19:50.699 --> 00:19:51.659
 You don't understand,

00:19:51.740 --> 00:19:52.619
 he says in verse 7,

00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:54.279
 but you will later understand.

00:19:55.419 --> 00:19:56.079
 When later,

00:19:56.159 --> 00:19:56.799
 on the other side

00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:57.399
 of the cross,

00:19:57.459 --> 00:19:58.579
 at the deepest level

00:19:58.579 --> 00:19:59.659
 of how we're to understand it,

00:19:59.679 --> 00:20:00.980
 it's a parable of salvation.

00:20:04.740 --> 00:20:05.159
 A.M. Hunter,

00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:06.179
 a New Testament scholar,

00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:06.699
 says this,

00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:07.299
 he says,

00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:08.179
 there is no place

00:20:08.179 --> 00:20:09.199
 in Jesus' fellowship

00:20:09.199 --> 00:20:10.720
 for those who've not

00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:11.480
 been cleansed

00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:13.120
 by his atoning death.

00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:15.740
 Many people today

00:20:15.740 --> 00:20:16.779
 would like to call themselves

00:20:16.779 --> 00:20:17.200
 Christians,

00:20:17.339 --> 00:20:18.299
 but see no need

00:20:18.299 --> 00:20:18.980
 of the cross.

00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:21.160
 Ready to admire

00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:21.960
 Jesus' life

00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:22.960
 and praise his teaching,

00:20:23.460 --> 00:20:24.120
 and even perhaps

00:20:24.120 --> 00:20:24.740
 like Gandhi,

00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:25.620
 follow his example,

00:20:26.140 --> 00:20:26.720
 but they cannot

00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:27.420
 bring themselves

00:20:27.420 --> 00:20:28.079
 to believe

00:20:28.079 --> 00:20:29.039
 that Jesus died

00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:29.759
 for their sins.

00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:34.120
 And that's the gospel.

00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:34.960
 There is a fountain

00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:35.940
 that is open

00:20:35.940 --> 00:20:37.240
 to sin and uncleanness.

00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:39.980
 There's a fountain

00:20:39.980 --> 00:20:40.880
 filled with blood.

00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:41.540
 It's such peculiar

00:20:41.540 --> 00:20:41.960
 language,

00:20:42.040 --> 00:20:42.300
 isn't it?

00:20:43.740 --> 00:20:44.500
 Blood drawn

00:20:44.500 --> 00:20:45.700
 from Emmanuel's veins

00:20:45.700 --> 00:20:46.900
 and sinners plunged

00:20:46.900 --> 00:20:47.960
 beneath that flood

00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:48.800
 lose all their

00:20:48.800 --> 00:20:49.480
 guilty stains.

00:20:51.260 --> 00:20:52.280
 The dying thief

00:20:52.280 --> 00:20:53.120
 rejoiced to see

00:20:53.120 --> 00:20:53.740
 that fountain

00:20:53.740 --> 00:20:54.500
 in his day,

00:20:55.220 --> 00:20:56.540
 and there may I,

00:20:56.660 --> 00:20:57.840
 though vile as he,

00:20:57.940 --> 00:20:58.760
 just like him,

00:20:59.860 --> 00:21:00.780
 wash all my sins away.

00:21:00.820 --> 00:21:01.580
 That's the good news.

00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:02.320
 There's a once

00:21:02.320 --> 00:21:03.080
 and for all-ness

00:21:03.080 --> 00:21:03.460
 about it,

00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:03.800
 isn't it?

00:21:06.100 --> 00:21:06.900
 There's a once

00:21:06.900 --> 00:21:07.660
 and for all-ness

00:21:07.660 --> 00:21:09.060
 about the death

00:21:09.059 --> 00:21:09.480
 of Christ

00:21:09.480 --> 00:21:10.000
 and forgiveness

00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:10.679
 that no one

00:21:10.679 --> 00:21:11.419
 need to spare.

00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:13.659
 But there's an

00:21:13.659 --> 00:21:14.659
 ongoingness

00:21:14.659 --> 00:21:15.339
 that none of us

00:21:15.339 --> 00:21:16.139
 should be complacent.

00:21:19.619 --> 00:21:20.399
 In the atoning

00:21:20.399 --> 00:21:21.619
 sacrifice of Jesus

00:21:21.619 --> 00:21:22.500
 on the cross,

00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:23.679
 there is complete

00:21:23.679 --> 00:21:24.619
 cleansing for your

00:21:24.619 --> 00:21:25.659
 sin that is past,

00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:26.659
 that is present,

00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:27.419
 that is future.

00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:30.339
 When you put your

00:21:30.339 --> 00:21:31.079
 trust in the Lord

00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:31.659
 Jesus Christ,

00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:33.179
 he washes you

00:21:33.180 --> 00:21:35.279
 completely from

00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:36.200
 toe to toe.

00:21:38.900 --> 00:21:39.460
 And so that when

00:21:39.460 --> 00:21:40.460
 God looks at those

00:21:40.460 --> 00:21:40.920
 who put their

00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:41.920
 trust in his son,

00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:44.019
 he doesn't see you

00:21:44.019 --> 00:21:44.779
 in your sin

00:21:44.779 --> 00:21:45.500
 and your dirt

00:21:45.500 --> 00:21:45.880
 anymore,

00:21:46.140 --> 00:21:47.080
 he sees you

00:21:47.080 --> 00:21:47.940
 justified,

00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:48.940
 right with him.

00:21:50.539 --> 00:21:51.740
 Completely clean,

00:21:51.900 --> 00:21:52.240
 washed.

00:21:53.980 --> 00:21:54.759
 He gives you a

00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:55.140
 bath,

00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:56.019
 he cleanses you

00:21:56.019 --> 00:21:56.740
 from all your

00:21:56.740 --> 00:21:57.240
 sins,

00:21:57.620 --> 00:21:58.440
 but there's an

00:21:58.440 --> 00:21:59.580
 ongoingness as well,

00:21:59.660 --> 00:22:00.019
 isn't there?

00:22:01.740 --> 00:22:02.680
 Think of King David

00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:03.840
 and what he did,

00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:06.580
 how he lived a lie

00:22:06.580 --> 00:22:07.700
 and committed adultery

00:22:07.700 --> 00:22:08.460
 and murder

00:22:08.460 --> 00:22:09.480
 until Nathan the

00:22:09.480 --> 00:22:10.519
 prophet comes and

00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:11.500
 challenges him

00:22:11.500 --> 00:22:12.299
 and he is convicted

00:22:12.299 --> 00:22:12.860
 of his sin.

00:22:14.500 --> 00:22:15.140
 And in Psalm 51

00:22:15.140 --> 00:22:15.560
 he says,

00:22:15.740 --> 00:22:16.779
 Have mercy on me,

00:22:16.880 --> 00:22:17.160
 O God,

00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:17.860
 according to your

00:22:17.860 --> 00:22:18.620
 steadfast love,

00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:19.660
 according to your

00:22:19.660 --> 00:22:20.380
 abundant mercy,

00:22:20.560 --> 00:22:21.299
 blot out my

00:22:21.299 --> 00:22:21.980
 transgressions,

00:22:22.019 --> 00:22:22.600
 take them away,

00:22:23.940 --> 00:22:25.039
 wash me thoroughly

00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:25.900
 from my iniquity,

00:22:26.100 --> 00:22:27.000
 cleanse me from my

00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:27.220
 sin,

00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:28.400
 hide your face

00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:29.180
 from all my sins,

00:22:29.360 --> 00:22:30.019
 blot out my

00:22:30.019 --> 00:22:30.500
 iniquities,

00:22:30.900 --> 00:22:31.480
 creating me a

00:22:31.480 --> 00:22:32.060
 clean heart.

00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:33.820
 And renew a

00:22:33.820 --> 00:22:34.320
 right spirit

00:22:34.320 --> 00:22:34.740
 within me,

00:22:34.840 --> 00:22:35.860
 cast me not away

00:22:35.860 --> 00:22:36.759
 from your presence,

00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:39.120
 restore to me

00:22:39.120 --> 00:22:39.799
 the joy of your

00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:40.320
 salvation,

00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:41.759
 and then I'll

00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:42.620
 teach transgressions

00:22:42.620 --> 00:22:43.279
 your ways.

00:22:44.420 --> 00:22:45.180
 Sinners will be

00:22:45.180 --> 00:22:45.960
 converted to you.

00:22:48.620 --> 00:22:49.600
 David had fallen

00:22:49.600 --> 00:22:50.820
 into the mud

00:22:50.820 --> 00:22:51.680
 and the muck

00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:52.240
 of sin,

00:22:52.380 --> 00:22:53.840
 he'd lost the joy

00:22:53.840 --> 00:22:54.600
 of his salvation,

00:22:54.840 --> 00:22:55.620
 that's his testimony,

00:22:55.740 --> 00:22:56.140
 and the prophet

00:22:56.140 --> 00:22:57.160
 comes and says,

00:22:57.440 --> 00:22:58.140
 you're the man.

00:22:58.140 --> 00:23:02.280
 Do you remember

00:23:02.280 --> 00:23:03.940
 what John says

00:23:03.940 --> 00:23:04.580
 later on,

00:23:04.700 --> 00:23:05.360
 in 1 John,

00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:05.900
 he says,

00:23:06.800 --> 00:23:07.720
 if we confess

00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:08.040
 our sins,

00:23:08.120 --> 00:23:08.800
 if we own up

00:23:08.800 --> 00:23:09.480
 to our guilt,

00:23:10.300 --> 00:23:11.120
 if we open up

00:23:11.120 --> 00:23:11.700
 the closet,

00:23:11.900 --> 00:23:12.640
 take the skeletons

00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:13.220
 out and say,

00:23:13.280 --> 00:23:13.400
 Lord,

00:23:13.480 --> 00:23:14.640
 this is who I am,

00:23:15.100 --> 00:23:15.820
 God will what?

00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:17.960
 God is faithful

00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:18.680
 and just.

00:23:21.020 --> 00:23:22.080
 He will forgive us

00:23:22.080 --> 00:23:22.440
 our sin,

00:23:22.500 --> 00:23:23.560
 and he will cleanse

00:23:23.560 --> 00:23:24.140
 us from all

00:23:24.140 --> 00:23:24.960
 unrighteousness.

00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:31.059
 There's a once

00:23:31.059 --> 00:23:32.180
 and for allness

00:23:32.180 --> 00:23:32.940
 about the death

00:23:32.940 --> 00:23:33.559
 of the Lord Jesus

00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:33.900
 Christ,

00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:34.779
 and there's an

00:23:34.779 --> 00:23:35.799
 ongoingness.

00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:38.579
 The truth of the

00:23:38.579 --> 00:23:39.160
 Christian life is

00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:39.940
 we need to keep

00:23:39.940 --> 00:23:40.640
 short accounts

00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:41.120
 with God,

00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:41.539
 don't we?

00:23:43.980 --> 00:23:44.920
 We can't become

00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:46.120
 blasé about

00:23:46.120 --> 00:23:46.600
 walking through

00:23:46.600 --> 00:23:47.319
 this life and

00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:48.019
 the mud on our

00:23:48.019 --> 00:23:48.420
 shoes.

00:23:50.200 --> 00:23:51.059
 We need to be

00:23:51.059 --> 00:23:52.019
 cleansed and

00:23:52.019 --> 00:23:53.220
 ongoingly cleansed.

00:23:54.960 --> 00:23:55.900
 John Sott,

00:23:56.019 --> 00:23:56.259
 I think,

00:23:56.340 --> 00:23:57.240
 really helpfully

00:23:57.240 --> 00:23:58.400
 compares the

00:23:58.400 --> 00:23:59.240
 two sacraments

00:23:59.240 --> 00:23:59.840
 of baptism

00:23:59.840 --> 00:24:00.400
 and the Lord's

00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:00.620
 Supper.

00:24:02.600 --> 00:24:03.240
 He says this,

00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:03.480
 he says,

00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:04.240
 you're baptised

00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:04.860
 once.

00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:05.900
 I think that's

00:24:05.900 --> 00:24:06.420
 really important.

00:24:06.600 --> 00:24:07.079
 You need to be

00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:08.220
 baptised once

00:24:08.220 --> 00:24:09.360
 in the name of

00:24:09.360 --> 00:24:09.700
 the Father,

00:24:09.799 --> 00:24:10.079
 the Son,

00:24:10.100 --> 00:24:10.380
 and the Holy

00:24:10.380 --> 00:24:10.579
 Spirit.

00:24:10.660 --> 00:24:11.200
 There's one

00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:11.680
 baptism,

00:24:11.819 --> 00:24:12.079
 the Bible

00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:12.480
 says.

00:24:13.559 --> 00:24:13.799
 You don't

00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:14.400
 get baptised

00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:14.940
 over and

00:24:14.940 --> 00:24:15.400
 over and

00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:15.740
 over again

00:24:15.740 --> 00:24:16.380
 because when

00:24:16.380 --> 00:24:16.779
 you do that,

00:24:16.840 --> 00:24:17.000
 you're

00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:18.160
 misrepresenting

00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:18.660
 the gospel.

00:24:21.100 --> 00:24:21.779
 Baptism is a

00:24:21.779 --> 00:24:22.740
 sign and seal

00:24:22.740 --> 00:24:23.059
 of our

00:24:23.059 --> 00:24:23.700
 regeneration,

00:24:23.700 --> 00:24:24.819
 of our

00:24:24.819 --> 00:24:25.360
 need to be

00:24:25.360 --> 00:24:26.240
 born again.

00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:27.700
 It's a sign

00:24:27.700 --> 00:24:27.960
 of your

00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:28.660
 justification,

00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:29.220
 of being

00:24:29.220 --> 00:24:30.059
 declared right

00:24:30.059 --> 00:24:30.720
 with God

00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:31.720
 by faith

00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:32.420
 in Christ.

00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:33.600
 You're

00:24:33.600 --> 00:24:34.200
 baptised

00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:34.840
 once,

00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:36.980
 but you

00:24:36.980 --> 00:24:37.259
 come to

00:24:37.259 --> 00:24:37.559
 the Lord's

00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:37.740
 table

00:24:37.740 --> 00:24:38.220
 frequently,

00:24:38.340 --> 00:24:38.620
 don't you?

00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:41.120
 And every

00:24:41.120 --> 00:24:41.640
 time we

00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:41.840
 come,

00:24:41.940 --> 00:24:42.640
 we examine

00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:43.100
 ourselves.

00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:43.380
 You need

00:24:43.380 --> 00:24:43.880
 to know

00:24:43.880 --> 00:24:44.660
 what's going

00:24:44.660 --> 00:24:45.000
 on.

00:24:45.140 --> 00:24:45.539
 You need

00:24:45.539 --> 00:24:45.920
 to know

00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:46.240
 what's

00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:46.539
 happening.

00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:50.259
 And we

00:24:50.259 --> 00:24:50.600
 examine

00:24:50.600 --> 00:24:50.920
 ourselves.

00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:51.200
 That's what

00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:51.460
 we need

00:24:51.460 --> 00:24:51.660
 to do

00:24:51.660 --> 00:24:52.100
 because at

00:24:52.100 --> 00:24:52.400
 the Lord's

00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:52.559
 table,

00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:52.960
 we keep

00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:53.220
 short

00:24:53.220 --> 00:24:53.680
 accounts.

00:24:53.700 --> 00:24:56.880
 we keep

00:24:56.880 --> 00:24:57.480
 coming back

00:24:57.480 --> 00:24:58.140
 for cleansing

00:24:58.140 --> 00:24:58.960
 and forgiveness

00:24:58.960 --> 00:24:59.759
 and feeding.

00:25:02.059 --> 00:25:02.600
 Those who've

00:25:02.600 --> 00:25:03.039
 had a bath

00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:03.420
 only need

00:25:03.420 --> 00:25:03.580
 to have

00:25:03.580 --> 00:25:03.880
 their feet

00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:04.180
 washed,

00:25:04.279 --> 00:25:04.860
 Jesus said.

00:25:05.600 --> 00:25:06.059
 And Jesus

00:25:06.059 --> 00:25:06.500
 says,

00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:06.980
 you are

00:25:06.980 --> 00:25:07.380
 clean.

00:25:08.080 --> 00:25:08.440
 You're

00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:08.940
 all clean,

00:25:09.940 --> 00:25:11.059
 but not all

00:25:11.059 --> 00:25:11.340
 of you,

00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:11.960
 not every

00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:12.259
 one of you.

00:25:12.340 --> 00:25:12.580
 Of course,

00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:13.140
 he's referring

00:25:13.140 --> 00:25:13.580
 his knee to

00:25:13.580 --> 00:25:13.819
 Judas.

00:25:13.940 --> 00:25:14.080
 Look at

00:25:14.080 --> 00:25:14.580
 verse 11.

00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:16.860
 For he

00:25:16.860 --> 00:25:18.680
 knew who

00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:19.059
 was to

00:25:19.059 --> 00:25:19.539
 betray him.

00:25:19.580 --> 00:25:19.900
 That's why

00:25:19.900 --> 00:25:20.180
 he said,

00:25:20.259 --> 00:25:20.480
 not all

00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:20.700
 of you

00:25:20.700 --> 00:25:20.779
 are

00:25:20.779 --> 00:25:20.960
 clean.

00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:24.559
 try and

00:25:24.559 --> 00:25:25.039
 think

00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:25.519
 yourself

00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:26.079
 into this

00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:26.400
 scene

00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:26.740
 for a

00:25:26.740 --> 00:25:26.960
 moment.

00:25:29.360 --> 00:25:29.880
 Judas

00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:30.880
 scares me.

00:25:31.019 --> 00:25:31.299
 Judas

00:25:31.299 --> 00:25:32.259
 frightens me

00:25:32.259 --> 00:25:33.799
 because I

00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:34.220
 can easily

00:25:34.220 --> 00:25:35.039
 see myself

00:25:35.039 --> 00:25:35.500
 doing what

00:25:35.500 --> 00:25:36.000
 he did.

00:25:38.579 --> 00:25:38.940
 Jesus

00:25:38.940 --> 00:25:39.579
 saw the

00:25:39.579 --> 00:25:39.960
 miracles.

00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:40.720
 Judas

00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:41.279
 saw the

00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:41.620
 miracles,

00:25:41.779 --> 00:25:42.120
 heard the

00:25:42.120 --> 00:25:42.380
 teaching.

00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:42.740
 He'd been

00:25:42.740 --> 00:25:43.140
 with Jesus

00:25:43.140 --> 00:25:43.900
 every day.

00:25:43.900 --> 00:25:45.640
 He was the

00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:46.340
 treasurer of

00:25:46.340 --> 00:25:46.840
 the twelve.

00:25:48.259 --> 00:25:49.079
 He witnessed

00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:49.699
 the wisdom,

00:25:49.879 --> 00:25:50.319
 the kindness,

00:25:50.839 --> 00:25:51.500
 the patience,

00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:52.720
 the consistency,

00:25:53.299 --> 00:25:53.720
 the goodness,

00:25:53.859 --> 00:25:54.240
 and the love

00:25:54.240 --> 00:25:54.659
 of Jesus.

00:25:56.379 --> 00:25:57.379
 He was an

00:25:57.379 --> 00:25:58.099
 insider.

00:25:58.839 --> 00:25:59.559
 He was a

00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:00.179
 disciple.

00:26:00.379 --> 00:26:01.000
 That's scary,

00:26:01.119 --> 00:26:01.419
 isn't it?

00:26:03.899 --> 00:26:04.639
 It's possible

00:26:04.639 --> 00:26:05.579
 for you this

00:26:05.579 --> 00:26:06.159
 morning to be

00:26:06.159 --> 00:26:07.179
 in church and

00:26:07.179 --> 00:26:08.099
 not to be in

00:26:08.099 --> 00:26:08.500
 Christ.

00:26:10.859 --> 00:26:11.679
 You can read

00:26:11.679 --> 00:26:12.059
 your Bible,

00:26:12.199 --> 00:26:12.559
 you can pray,

00:26:12.679 --> 00:26:13.059
 you can talk

00:26:13.059 --> 00:26:13.500
 the talk,

00:26:13.579 --> 00:26:13.939
 you can look

00:26:13.939 --> 00:26:14.439
 the path and

00:26:14.439 --> 00:26:15.259
 not be saved.

00:26:17.539 --> 00:26:18.579
 It's possible

00:26:18.579 --> 00:26:19.500
 to be close

00:26:19.500 --> 00:26:20.319
 to Jesus

00:26:20.319 --> 00:26:23.819
 and not

00:26:23.819 --> 00:26:24.599
 be with

00:26:24.599 --> 00:26:25.059
 Jesus.

00:26:28.740 --> 00:26:29.299
 You are

00:26:29.299 --> 00:26:29.759
 clean,

00:26:30.099 --> 00:26:30.799
 Jesus says

00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:31.199
 to his

00:26:31.199 --> 00:26:31.559
 disciples,

00:26:31.699 --> 00:26:31.939
 but not

00:26:31.939 --> 00:26:32.359
 all of you.

00:26:34.879 --> 00:26:35.159
 And I

00:26:35.159 --> 00:26:35.419
 think when

00:26:35.419 --> 00:26:36.359
 Jesus said

00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:36.799
 that,

00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:37.559
 that one

00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:37.779
 of you

00:26:37.779 --> 00:26:38.199
 will betray

00:26:38.199 --> 00:26:38.399
 me,

00:26:38.500 --> 00:26:38.899
 I think

00:26:38.899 --> 00:26:39.179
 there were

00:26:39.179 --> 00:26:39.539
 eleven

00:26:39.539 --> 00:26:39.980
 frightened

00:26:39.980 --> 00:26:40.439
 men in

00:26:40.439 --> 00:26:40.779
 the group.

00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:42.519
 In that

00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:42.639
 room,

00:26:42.679 --> 00:26:42.859
 don't you

00:26:42.859 --> 00:26:43.059
 think?

00:26:43.839 --> 00:26:44.359
 The other

00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:44.899
 gospel writers

00:26:44.899 --> 00:26:45.759
 tell us that

00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:46.079
 the other

00:26:46.079 --> 00:26:46.779
 disciples began

00:26:46.779 --> 00:26:47.079
 to say,

00:26:47.159 --> 00:26:47.899
 is it I?

00:26:47.900 --> 00:26:48.500
 Is it I?

00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:49.340
 Is it me?

00:26:51.320 --> 00:26:51.780
 And I

00:26:51.780 --> 00:26:52.080
 think that's

00:26:52.080 --> 00:26:52.420
 the right

00:26:52.420 --> 00:26:52.940
 response.

00:26:55.180 --> 00:26:55.800
 I guess

00:26:55.800 --> 00:26:56.060
 there were

00:26:56.060 --> 00:26:56.460
 eleven

00:26:56.460 --> 00:26:56.860
 frightened

00:26:56.860 --> 00:26:57.320
 men in

00:26:57.320 --> 00:26:57.680
 that room,

00:26:57.759 --> 00:26:57.940
 but there

00:26:57.940 --> 00:26:58.300
 was one

00:26:58.300 --> 00:26:58.940
 who wasn't.

00:27:00.860 --> 00:27:01.259
 And Judas

00:27:01.259 --> 00:27:01.680
 wasn't

00:27:01.680 --> 00:27:02.019
 frightened

00:27:02.019 --> 00:27:02.480
 because he'd

00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:02.960
 already made

00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:03.180
 up his

00:27:03.180 --> 00:27:03.480
 mind.

00:27:05.100 --> 00:27:05.480
 He was

00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:05.660
 going to

00:27:05.660 --> 00:27:06.060
 walk out

00:27:06.060 --> 00:27:06.500
 on Jesus

00:27:06.500 --> 00:27:07.240
 and betray

00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:07.480
 him.

00:27:07.540 --> 00:27:07.660
 He'd

00:27:07.660 --> 00:27:08.000
 already

00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:08.460
 done the

00:27:08.460 --> 00:27:08.680
 deal.

00:27:08.820 --> 00:27:08.980
 And so

00:27:08.980 --> 00:27:09.500
 this morning,

00:27:09.600 --> 00:27:10.000
 let me say

00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:10.380
 this to you,

00:27:10.460 --> 00:27:10.880
 if you are

00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:11.700
 frightened by

00:27:11.700 --> 00:27:12.560
 Jesus here,

00:27:12.940 --> 00:27:13.240
 then you

00:27:13.240 --> 00:27:13.620
 jolly well

00:27:13.620 --> 00:27:13.900
 ought to

00:27:13.900 --> 00:27:14.080
 be.

00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:16.740
 And if

00:27:16.740 --> 00:27:17.159
 you think

00:27:17.159 --> 00:27:17.579
 that could

00:27:17.579 --> 00:27:18.419
 so easily

00:27:18.419 --> 00:27:18.980
 be me,

00:27:19.099 --> 00:27:19.559
 that is a

00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:20.220
 very good

00:27:20.220 --> 00:27:20.599
 sign.

00:27:22.539 --> 00:27:23.139
 That you

00:27:23.139 --> 00:27:23.779
 are spiritually

00:27:23.779 --> 00:27:24.379
 alive.

00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:26.399
 And your

00:27:26.399 --> 00:27:26.939
 conscience is

00:27:26.939 --> 00:27:27.639
 working properly.

00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:30.039
 And if you're

00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:30.699
 not frightened

00:27:30.699 --> 00:27:31.220
 at all by

00:27:31.220 --> 00:27:31.879
 these words,

00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:32.359
 then you

00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:32.679
 really ought

00:27:32.679 --> 00:27:32.899
 to be.

00:27:36.399 --> 00:27:36.859
 Decades

00:27:36.859 --> 00:27:37.359
 later, as

00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:38.039
 John writes

00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:39.460
 this gospel,

00:27:39.599 --> 00:27:40.079
 he can still

00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:40.859
 see Judas

00:27:40.859 --> 00:27:42.139
 disappearing,

00:27:42.259 --> 00:27:42.699
 the silhouette

00:27:42.699 --> 00:27:43.859
 against the

00:27:43.859 --> 00:27:44.039
 door.

00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:45.059
 He disappears

00:27:45.059 --> 00:27:45.599
 out of the

00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:46.000
 door, verse

00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:46.799
 30, into

00:27:46.799 --> 00:27:47.319
 the night.

00:27:48.659 --> 00:27:49.479
 He immediately

00:27:49.479 --> 00:27:50.399
 went out into

00:27:50.399 --> 00:27:50.759
 the night.

00:27:51.439 --> 00:27:52.240
 He surrendered

00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:53.039
 to his greed.

00:27:53.179 --> 00:27:53.799
 He's in league

00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:54.479
 with the devil

00:27:54.479 --> 00:27:54.959
 to betray

00:27:54.959 --> 00:27:55.379
 his Lord.

00:27:55.500 --> 00:27:55.719
 And it

00:27:55.719 --> 00:27:56.319
 was night.

00:27:56.579 --> 00:27:56.919
 It is

00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:57.500
 darkness.

00:27:58.939 --> 00:27:59.740
 He walks

00:27:59.740 --> 00:28:00.259
 away from

00:28:00.259 --> 00:28:00.679
 the love

00:28:00.679 --> 00:28:01.199
 of Jesus

00:28:01.199 --> 00:28:03.500
 into the

00:28:03.500 --> 00:28:03.899
 darkness.

00:28:05.439 --> 00:28:06.039
 Into the

00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:06.479
 darkness of

00:28:06.479 --> 00:28:06.979
 a Christless

00:28:06.979 --> 00:28:07.359
 eternity.

00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:07.579
 him.

00:28:10.259 --> 00:28:10.500
 And so

00:28:10.500 --> 00:28:10.919
 be warned.

00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:11.759
 Don't be

00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:12.419
 Judas.

00:28:12.679 --> 00:28:13.079
 Make your

00:28:13.079 --> 00:28:13.659
 calling and

00:28:13.659 --> 00:28:14.319
 election sure.

00:28:14.679 --> 00:28:15.419
 Love portrayed.

00:28:17.819 --> 00:28:18.259
 Love

00:28:18.259 --> 00:28:18.740
 betrayed.

00:28:19.179 --> 00:28:19.439
 Love

00:28:19.439 --> 00:28:20.479
 displayed as

00:28:20.479 --> 00:28:20.979
 an example

00:28:20.979 --> 00:28:21.599
 for us to

00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:21.859
 follow.

00:28:23.699 --> 00:28:24.139
 Love

00:28:24.139 --> 00:28:25.679
 displayed as

00:28:25.679 --> 00:28:26.159
 an example

00:28:26.159 --> 00:28:26.619
 for us to

00:28:26.619 --> 00:28:26.859
 follow.

00:28:28.679 --> 00:28:29.479
 Most people,

00:28:29.619 --> 00:28:29.979
 when they come

00:28:29.979 --> 00:28:30.519
 to this passage,

00:28:30.619 --> 00:28:31.059
 go straight

00:28:31.059 --> 00:28:31.339
 here.

00:28:32.719 --> 00:28:33.059
 It's the

00:28:33.059 --> 00:28:33.319
 first thing

00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:33.740
 they see,

00:28:33.919 --> 00:28:34.119
 and it

00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:34.559
 turns out to

00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:34.759
 be the

00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:35.159
 only thing

00:28:35.159 --> 00:28:35.559
 they see.

00:28:35.559 --> 00:28:37.559
 And so

00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:38.039
 they see,

00:28:38.179 --> 00:28:38.379
 ah,

00:28:38.419 --> 00:28:39.220
 here is an

00:28:39.220 --> 00:28:39.799
 example to

00:28:39.799 --> 00:28:40.039
 follow.

00:28:40.220 --> 00:28:41.059
 Verse 12.

00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:44.879
 When he

00:28:44.879 --> 00:28:45.279
 washed their

00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:45.619
 feet and

00:28:45.619 --> 00:28:45.980
 put on his

00:28:45.980 --> 00:28:46.519
 outer garments

00:28:46.519 --> 00:28:47.099
 and resumed

00:28:47.099 --> 00:28:47.619
 his place,

00:28:47.679 --> 00:28:48.039
 he said to

00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:48.139
 them,

00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:48.619
 do you not

00:28:48.619 --> 00:28:49.200
 understand what

00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:49.799
 I've done

00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:50.980
 to you?

00:28:55.139 --> 00:28:55.759
 You call me

00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:56.159
 teacher and

00:28:56.159 --> 00:28:56.399
 Lord,

00:28:56.460 --> 00:28:56.799
 and you are

00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:57.019
 right,

00:28:57.099 --> 00:28:57.519
 for so I

00:28:57.519 --> 00:28:57.779
 am.

00:28:58.639 --> 00:28:59.480
 If then I,

00:28:59.579 --> 00:29:00.039
 your Lord and

00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:00.259
 teacher,

00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:00.619
 have washed

00:29:00.619 --> 00:29:01.039
 your feet,

00:29:01.119 --> 00:29:01.639
 you also

00:29:01.639 --> 00:29:01.960
 ought to

00:29:01.960 --> 00:29:02.319
 wash one

00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:02.700
 another's

00:29:02.700 --> 00:29:02.859
 feet,

00:29:02.919 --> 00:29:03.480
 for I have

00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:04.039
 given you

00:29:04.039 --> 00:29:04.940
 an example.

00:29:05.559 --> 00:29:10.539
 You know,

00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:10.980
 a sense of

00:29:10.980 --> 00:29:11.359
 occasion,

00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:11.879
 some people

00:29:11.879 --> 00:29:12.339
 have it,

00:29:12.740 --> 00:29:13.220
 and some

00:29:13.220 --> 00:29:13.639
 don't.

00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:16.099
 Some people

00:29:16.099 --> 00:29:16.740
 get the

00:29:16.740 --> 00:29:17.200
 dress code

00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:17.579
 right at

00:29:17.579 --> 00:29:18.039
 a party,

00:29:18.679 --> 00:29:19.000
 others

00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:19.359
 don't.

00:29:21.059 --> 00:29:22.019
 And here,

00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:23.099
 the apostles,

00:29:23.419 --> 00:29:23.899
 the disciples

00:29:23.899 --> 00:29:24.259
 get it

00:29:24.259 --> 00:29:24.599
 wrong.

00:29:25.859 --> 00:29:26.519
 They turn

00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:27.539
 up to

00:29:27.539 --> 00:29:28.419
 the Last

00:29:28.419 --> 00:29:28.679
 Supper,

00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:29.019
 and they

00:29:29.019 --> 00:29:29.519
 are arguing

00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:29.839
 amongst

00:29:29.839 --> 00:29:30.240
 themselves,

00:29:30.339 --> 00:29:30.539
 who is

00:29:30.539 --> 00:29:30.679
 the

00:29:30.679 --> 00:29:30.980
 greatest?

00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:34.039
 It's a

00:29:34.039 --> 00:29:34.559
 remarkable thing,

00:29:34.619 --> 00:29:34.839
 isn't it?

00:29:34.839 --> 00:29:36.039
 I am the

00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:36.399
 greatest.

00:29:36.899 --> 00:29:37.079
 No,

00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:37.220
 no,

00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:37.519
 no,

00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:38.579
 I am

00:29:38.579 --> 00:29:38.859
 the

00:29:38.859 --> 00:29:39.199
 greatest.

00:29:39.639 --> 00:29:39.819
 No,

00:29:39.879 --> 00:29:39.980
 no,

00:29:40.059 --> 00:29:40.359
 no,

00:29:40.359 --> 00:29:41.399
 I am

00:29:41.399 --> 00:29:41.559
 the

00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:41.859
 greatest.

00:29:42.439 --> 00:29:42.759
 They

00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:43.179
 were arguing

00:29:43.179 --> 00:29:43.559
 about who's

00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:43.679
 going to

00:29:43.679 --> 00:29:43.919
 get the

00:29:43.919 --> 00:29:44.480
 top jobs

00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:45.000
 in Jesus'

00:29:45.139 --> 00:29:45.379
 kingdom.

00:29:46.659 --> 00:29:47.079
 Who's

00:29:47.079 --> 00:29:47.279
 going to

00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:47.919
 fulfill the

00:29:47.919 --> 00:29:48.500
 top positions?

00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:49.419
 James and

00:29:49.419 --> 00:29:49.679
 John have

00:29:49.679 --> 00:29:50.000
 even got

00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:50.559
 their mum

00:29:50.559 --> 00:29:51.720
 to put in

00:29:51.720 --> 00:29:52.000
 a good

00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:52.500
 word for

00:29:52.500 --> 00:29:52.740
 them,

00:29:52.879 --> 00:29:53.299
 much to the

00:29:53.299 --> 00:29:53.799
 disgust of

00:29:53.799 --> 00:29:54.099
 others.

00:29:54.259 --> 00:29:54.459
 They're

00:29:54.459 --> 00:29:55.059
 jockeying for

00:29:55.059 --> 00:29:55.419
 position.

00:29:56.679 --> 00:29:57.039
 And as

00:29:57.039 --> 00:29:58.000
 Jesus prepares

00:29:58.000 --> 00:29:58.980
 to lay his

00:29:58.980 --> 00:30:00.099
 life down for

00:30:00.099 --> 00:30:00.240
 them,

00:30:00.339 --> 00:30:00.619
 they are

00:30:00.619 --> 00:30:01.339
 competing and

00:30:01.339 --> 00:30:01.699
 comparing

00:30:01.699 --> 00:30:02.279
 themselves with

00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:02.619
 each other.

00:30:02.619 --> 00:30:05.019
 the evening

00:30:05.019 --> 00:30:05.539
 meal is being

00:30:05.539 --> 00:30:05.959
 served,

00:30:06.059 --> 00:30:06.559
 verse 2,

00:30:07.859 --> 00:30:08.319
 and normally

00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:09.599
 the feet are

00:30:09.599 --> 00:30:10.419
 washed before

00:30:10.419 --> 00:30:10.879
 the meal.

00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:13.700
 but obviously

00:30:13.700 --> 00:30:14.100
 there's no

00:30:14.100 --> 00:30:14.680
 servant girl

00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:15.040
 because it's

00:30:15.040 --> 00:30:15.660
 hired room.

00:30:16.320 --> 00:30:16.660
 Somebody's

00:30:16.660 --> 00:30:16.940
 not done

00:30:16.940 --> 00:30:17.480
 their job.

00:30:18.760 --> 00:30:19.300
 Anyone could

00:30:19.300 --> 00:30:19.780
 have done it

00:30:19.780 --> 00:30:20.680
 but nobody

00:30:20.680 --> 00:30:21.080
 did it.

00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:23.580
 There was an

00:30:23.580 --> 00:30:24.100
 important job

00:30:24.100 --> 00:30:24.620
 to be done

00:30:24.620 --> 00:30:25.380
 and everybody

00:30:25.380 --> 00:30:26.200
 was sure that

00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:26.720
 somebody would

00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:27.080
 do it.

00:30:28.280 --> 00:30:28.960
 Anybody could

00:30:28.960 --> 00:30:29.420
 have done it

00:30:29.420 --> 00:30:29.920
 but nobody

00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:30.360
 did it.

00:30:31.380 --> 00:30:32.000
 Somebody got

00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:32.500
 angry about

00:30:32.500 --> 00:30:33.100
 that because

00:30:33.100 --> 00:30:33.360
 it was

00:30:33.360 --> 00:30:33.820
 everybody's

00:30:33.820 --> 00:30:34.120
 job.

00:30:35.200 --> 00:30:35.560
 Everybody

00:30:35.560 --> 00:30:36.280
 thought anybody

00:30:36.280 --> 00:30:36.920
 could do it

00:30:36.920 --> 00:30:37.600
 but nobody

00:30:37.600 --> 00:30:38.260
 realized that

00:30:38.260 --> 00:30:38.540
 everybody

00:30:38.540 --> 00:30:39.020
 wouldn't do

00:30:39.020 --> 00:30:39.200
 it.

00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:40.700
 It ended

00:30:40.700 --> 00:30:41.039
 up that

00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:41.460
 everybody

00:30:41.460 --> 00:30:41.779
 blamed

00:30:41.779 --> 00:30:42.180
 somebody

00:30:42.180 --> 00:30:42.940
 when nobody

00:30:42.940 --> 00:30:43.340
 did what

00:30:43.340 --> 00:30:43.660
 anybody

00:30:43.660 --> 00:30:44.120
 could have.

00:30:45.840 --> 00:30:46.400
 Welcome to

00:30:46.400 --> 00:30:46.640
 the upper

00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:46.940
 room.

00:30:48.980 --> 00:30:49.240
 And the

00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:49.840
 tragedy is

00:30:49.840 --> 00:30:50.259
 it's often

00:30:50.259 --> 00:30:50.620
 like that

00:30:50.620 --> 00:30:51.039
 in a local

00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:51.360
 church,

00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:51.720
 isn't it?

00:30:53.100 --> 00:30:53.580
 There's a

00:30:53.580 --> 00:30:53.960
 job to be

00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:54.220
 done but

00:30:54.220 --> 00:30:54.640
 nobody wants

00:30:54.640 --> 00:30:55.039
 to do it.

00:30:56.360 --> 00:30:56.759
 Somebody

00:30:56.759 --> 00:30:57.299
 ought to

00:30:57.299 --> 00:30:57.539
 have done

00:30:57.539 --> 00:30:57.779
 it.

00:30:59.019 --> 00:30:59.420
 Anybody

00:30:59.420 --> 00:30:59.840
 could have

00:30:59.840 --> 00:31:00.160
 done it

00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:00.580
 but nobody

00:31:00.580 --> 00:31:01.019
 did it.

00:31:02.860 --> 00:31:03.259
 Why

00:31:03.259 --> 00:31:03.980
 don't

00:31:03.980 --> 00:31:04.779
 they

00:31:04.779 --> 00:31:05.440
 do

00:31:05.440 --> 00:31:05.920
 something

00:31:05.920 --> 00:31:06.600
 about it?

00:31:08.120 --> 00:31:08.700
 Who are

00:31:08.700 --> 00:31:09.039
 they?

00:31:09.200 --> 00:31:11.279
 Anybody

00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:11.600
 could have

00:31:11.600 --> 00:31:11.860
 done it

00:31:11.860 --> 00:31:12.100
 nobody

00:31:12.100 --> 00:31:12.500
 did it

00:31:12.500 --> 00:31:12.779
 until

00:31:12.779 --> 00:31:13.140
 Jesus

00:31:13.140 --> 00:31:13.759
 he got

00:31:13.759 --> 00:31:14.000
 up

00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:14.640
 wrapped

00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:15.000
 himself

00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:15.279
 in a

00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:15.559
 towel

00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:15.840
 and

00:31:15.840 --> 00:31:16.200
 stooped

00:31:16.200 --> 00:31:16.380
 down

00:31:16.380 --> 00:31:16.559
 to

00:31:16.559 --> 00:31:16.759
 wash

00:31:16.759 --> 00:31:16.960
 their

00:31:16.960 --> 00:31:17.200
 feet.

00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:19.600
 And

00:31:19.600 --> 00:31:19.720
 he

00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:19.940
 does

00:31:19.940 --> 00:31:20.160
 for

00:31:20.160 --> 00:31:20.440
 them

00:31:20.440 --> 00:31:20.620
 what

00:31:20.620 --> 00:31:20.720
 they

00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:20.819
 were

00:31:20.819 --> 00:31:20.960
 too

00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:21.160
 proud

00:31:21.160 --> 00:31:21.319
 to

00:31:21.319 --> 00:31:21.420
 do

00:31:21.420 --> 00:31:21.519
 for

00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:21.940
 themselves.

00:31:24.580 --> 00:31:25.000
 There's

00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:25.380
 no household

00:31:25.380 --> 00:31:25.880
 slave

00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:27.720
 and all

00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:28.059
 the guests

00:31:28.059 --> 00:31:28.360
 are too

00:31:28.360 --> 00:31:28.980
 self-important

00:31:28.980 --> 00:31:29.519
 to do

00:31:29.519 --> 00:31:29.920
 that so

00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:30.200
 Jesus

00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:30.460
 does

00:31:30.460 --> 00:31:30.660
 it.

00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:31.519
 He

00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:31.740
 who

00:31:31.740 --> 00:31:32.000
 is

00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:32.460
 lord

00:31:32.460 --> 00:31:32.600
 of

00:31:32.600 --> 00:31:32.759
 all

00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:33.140
 becomes

00:31:33.140 --> 00:31:33.360
 the

00:31:33.360 --> 00:31:33.600
 servant

00:31:33.600 --> 00:31:33.799
 of

00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:34.019
 all.

00:31:34.340 --> 00:31:34.460
 How

00:31:34.460 --> 00:31:34.960
 embarrassing.

00:31:35.819 --> 00:31:36.220
 Twelve

00:31:36.220 --> 00:31:37.340
 red

00:31:37.340 --> 00:31:37.720
 glowing

00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:38.380
 faces in

00:31:38.380 --> 00:31:38.519
 the

00:31:38.519 --> 00:31:38.920
 dark.

00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:40.500
 And

00:31:40.500 --> 00:31:40.640
 the

00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:41.019
 silence

00:31:41.019 --> 00:31:41.220
 is

00:31:41.220 --> 00:31:41.600
 deafening.

00:31:41.700 --> 00:31:41.840
 I'm

00:31:41.840 --> 00:31:42.120
 breaking

00:31:42.120 --> 00:31:42.340
 the

00:31:42.340 --> 00:31:42.680
 silence

00:31:42.680 --> 00:31:43.000
 Jesus

00:31:43.000 --> 00:31:43.380
 says

00:31:43.380 --> 00:31:43.600
 do

00:31:43.600 --> 00:31:43.740
 you

00:31:43.740 --> 00:31:43.960
 know

00:31:43.960 --> 00:31:44.140
 what

00:31:44.140 --> 00:31:44.300
 I've

00:31:44.300 --> 00:31:44.460
 done

00:31:44.460 --> 00:31:44.640
 for

00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:44.740
 you?

00:31:44.800 --> 00:31:44.940
 I've

00:31:44.940 --> 00:31:45.160
 set

00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:45.279
 you

00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:45.380
 an

00:31:45.380 --> 00:31:45.800
 example.

00:31:45.800 --> 00:31:46.160
 I've

00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:46.360
 set

00:31:46.360 --> 00:31:46.460
 you

00:31:46.460 --> 00:31:46.580
 an

00:31:46.580 --> 00:31:46.940
 example.

00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:50.400
 How do

00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:50.640
 you learn

00:31:50.640 --> 00:31:51.120
 to write?

00:31:51.840 --> 00:31:52.180
 You learn

00:31:52.180 --> 00:31:52.480
 to write

00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:52.860
 in school?

00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:53.680
 You learn

00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:53.980
 to write?

00:31:54.180 --> 00:31:54.400
 How do

00:31:54.400 --> 00:31:54.600
 you learn

00:31:54.600 --> 00:31:54.920
 to write?

00:31:55.140 --> 00:31:55.279
 Do you

00:31:55.279 --> 00:31:55.480
 remember?

00:31:55.759 --> 00:31:56.019
 What do

00:31:56.019 --> 00:31:56.160
 you do?

00:31:56.259 --> 00:31:57.000
 You get

00:31:57.000 --> 00:31:57.539
 little letters

00:31:57.539 --> 00:31:57.920
 and little

00:31:57.920 --> 00:31:58.480
 dots

00:31:58.480 --> 00:31:59.360
 and you

00:31:59.360 --> 00:31:59.800
 copy

00:31:59.800 --> 00:32:00.100
 them.

00:32:00.220 --> 00:32:00.380
 Is that

00:32:00.380 --> 00:32:00.600
 right?

00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:02.420
 Is it

00:32:02.420 --> 00:32:02.759
 still like

00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:02.920
 that?

00:32:03.340 --> 00:32:03.680
 I think

00:32:03.680 --> 00:32:03.779
 it

00:32:03.779 --> 00:32:03.920
 is.

00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:05.700
 And so

00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:13.940
 you

00:32:13.940 --> 00:32:15.220
 do

00:32:15.220 --> 00:32:16.140
 that.

00:32:16.140 --> 00:32:17.060
 You

00:32:17.060 --> 00:32:16.940
 do

00:32:16.940 --> 00:32:17.240
 that.

00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:17.320
 You

00:32:17.320 --> 00:32:17.460
 follow

00:32:17.460 --> 00:32:18.500
 the

00:32:18.500 --> 00:32:18.900
 lines.

00:32:18.900 --> 00:32:18.900


00:32:18.900 --> 00:32:18.900


00:32:18.900 --> 00:32:19.259
 that.

00:32:20.259 --> 00:32:20.700
 You

00:32:20.700 --> 00:32:24.880
 may well

00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:24.980
 be

00:32:24.980 --> 00:32:25.200
 teaching

00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:25.480
 Sunday

00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:25.840
 school.

00:32:26.620 --> 00:32:26.840
 Maybe

00:32:26.840 --> 00:32:27.300
 volunteering

00:32:27.300 --> 00:32:27.480
 for

00:32:27.480 --> 00:32:27.640
 little

00:32:27.640 --> 00:32:28.019
 stars.

00:32:28.140 --> 00:32:28.259
 Maybe

00:32:28.259 --> 00:32:28.620
 washing

00:32:28.620 --> 00:32:29.039
 dishes.

00:32:29.460 --> 00:32:29.620
 Maybe

00:32:29.620 --> 00:32:30.060
 cleaning

00:32:30.060 --> 00:32:30.660
 toilets.

00:32:31.580 --> 00:32:31.800
 Maybe

00:32:31.800 --> 00:32:32.060
 giving

00:32:32.060 --> 00:32:32.220
 your

00:32:32.220 --> 00:32:32.620
 time.

00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:33.620
 Jesus

00:32:33.620 --> 00:32:33.960
 says

00:32:33.960 --> 00:32:34.180
 I've

00:32:34.180 --> 00:32:34.340
 set

00:32:34.340 --> 00:32:34.440
 you

00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:34.539
 an

00:32:34.539 --> 00:32:34.920
 example.

00:32:36.800 --> 00:32:37.100
 30

00:32:37.100 --> 00:32:37.400
 years

00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:37.779
 later

00:32:37.779 --> 00:32:38.060
 when

00:32:38.060 --> 00:32:38.259
 the

00:32:38.259 --> 00:32:38.480
 apostle

00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:38.820
 Peter

00:32:38.819 --> 00:32:39.159
 came

00:32:39.159 --> 00:32:39.599
 to

00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:39.819
 write

00:32:39.819 --> 00:32:40.039
 his

00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:40.339
 first

00:32:40.339 --> 00:32:40.700
 epistle

00:32:40.700 --> 00:32:41.519
 he

00:32:41.519 --> 00:32:41.799
 said

00:32:41.799 --> 00:32:42.200
 Christ

00:32:42.200 --> 00:32:42.619
 suffered

00:32:42.619 --> 00:32:42.879
 for

00:32:42.879 --> 00:32:43.039
 you

00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:43.379
 leaving

00:32:43.379 --> 00:32:43.579
 you

00:32:43.579 --> 00:32:43.700
 an

00:32:43.700 --> 00:32:44.099
 example.

00:32:45.539 --> 00:32:45.779
 In

00:32:45.779 --> 00:32:46.000
 his

00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:46.460
 steps

00:32:46.460 --> 00:32:48.359
 yes he

00:32:48.359 --> 00:32:48.720
 died a

00:32:48.720 --> 00:32:49.500
 substitutionary

00:32:49.500 --> 00:32:49.740
 death.

00:32:49.879 --> 00:32:50.240
 Yes he

00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:50.939
 died to

00:32:50.939 --> 00:32:51.399
 wash our

00:32:51.399 --> 00:32:51.619
 sins

00:32:51.619 --> 00:32:52.039
 away.

00:32:52.519 --> 00:32:52.779
 And that's

00:32:52.779 --> 00:32:53.039
 the most

00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:53.399
 important

00:32:53.399 --> 00:32:53.799
 thing.

00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:54.819
 But he

00:32:54.819 --> 00:32:55.339
 also died

00:32:55.339 --> 00:32:55.759
 giving us

00:32:55.759 --> 00:32:56.259
 an example.

00:32:58.399 --> 00:32:58.779
 And as

00:32:58.779 --> 00:32:59.139
 you see

00:32:59.139 --> 00:32:59.599
 the image

00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:00.179
 of Jesus

00:33:00.179 --> 00:33:00.639
 kneeling

00:33:00.639 --> 00:33:00.960
 with a

00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:01.279
 towel

00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:01.659
 wrapped

00:33:01.659 --> 00:33:01.960
 around

00:33:01.960 --> 00:33:02.179
 him

00:33:02.179 --> 00:33:02.599
 stooping

00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:03.159
 to wash

00:33:03.159 --> 00:33:03.720
 his

00:33:03.720 --> 00:33:04.119
 disciples

00:33:04.119 --> 00:33:04.539
 feet.

00:33:05.399 --> 00:33:05.700
 It's

00:33:05.700 --> 00:33:06.539
 so ingrained

00:33:06.539 --> 00:33:07.099
 in Peter's

00:33:07.099 --> 00:33:07.500
 mind

00:33:07.500 --> 00:33:08.439
 that he

00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:08.759
 says in

00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:09.299
 chapter 5

00:33:09.299 --> 00:33:09.799
 clothe

00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:10.320
 yourself

00:33:10.320 --> 00:33:10.539
 with

00:33:10.539 --> 00:33:10.960
 humility.

00:33:13.059 --> 00:33:13.539
 He

00:33:13.539 --> 00:33:14.000
 says this

00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:14.259
 is the

00:33:14.259 --> 00:33:14.519
 way that

00:33:14.519 --> 00:33:14.820
 I want

00:33:14.820 --> 00:33:15.039
 you to

00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:15.160
 do

00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:15.620
 church.

00:33:17.120 --> 00:33:17.600
 I've

00:33:17.600 --> 00:33:17.840
 set you

00:33:17.840 --> 00:33:17.960
 an

00:33:17.960 --> 00:33:18.340
 example.

00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:21.180
 Let me

00:33:21.180 --> 00:33:21.620
 wrap up.

00:33:21.820 --> 00:33:22.320
 As I

00:33:22.320 --> 00:33:22.960
 finish let

00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:23.539
 me ask you

00:33:23.539 --> 00:33:24.180
 this question.

00:33:24.360 --> 00:33:24.700
 Are you

00:33:24.700 --> 00:33:25.340
 saying no

00:33:25.340 --> 00:33:25.860
 to Jesus?

00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:29.580
 Is there

00:33:29.580 --> 00:33:29.940
 anything in

00:33:29.940 --> 00:33:30.480
 your life

00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:31.000
 and Jesus

00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:31.600
 is speaking

00:33:31.600 --> 00:33:31.980
 to you

00:33:31.980 --> 00:33:32.500
 about it?

00:33:32.500 --> 00:33:34.759
 at least

00:33:34.759 --> 00:33:35.039
 in your

00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:35.359
 heart

00:33:35.359 --> 00:33:35.640
 probably

00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:36.039
 not out

00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:36.279
 loud

00:33:36.279 --> 00:33:36.660
 you are

00:33:36.660 --> 00:33:36.960
 saying

00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:37.279
 Tim

00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:37.940
 no

00:33:37.940 --> 00:33:38.180
 Lord

00:33:38.180 --> 00:33:38.519
 never.

00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:40.099
 Not in

00:33:40.099 --> 00:33:40.359
 a million

00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:40.740
 years.

00:33:42.019 --> 00:33:42.319
 Don't

00:33:42.319 --> 00:33:42.779
 go there.

00:33:44.099 --> 00:33:44.440
 Don't

00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:44.740
 go there.

00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:45.039
 Anything

00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:45.619
 else but

00:33:45.619 --> 00:33:45.920
 don't

00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:46.460
 go there.

00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:48.960
 And Jesus

00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:49.299
 is saying

00:33:49.299 --> 00:33:49.500
 to you

00:33:49.500 --> 00:33:49.839
 this morning

00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:50.180
 that's the

00:33:50.180 --> 00:33:50.500
 very thing

00:33:50.500 --> 00:33:50.720
 I want

00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:50.980
 to talk

00:33:50.980 --> 00:33:51.119
 to you

00:33:51.119 --> 00:33:51.299
 about.

00:33:52.420 --> 00:33:52.579
 And

00:33:52.579 --> 00:33:52.720
 that's

00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:52.819
 the

00:33:52.819 --> 00:33:52.980
 very

00:33:52.980 --> 00:33:53.339
 thing

00:33:53.339 --> 00:33:54.160
 that you

00:33:54.160 --> 00:33:54.339
 need

00:33:54.339 --> 00:33:54.460
 to

00:33:54.460 --> 00:33:54.880
 change.

00:33:55.039 --> 00:33:55.240
 Let's

00:33:55.240 --> 00:33:55.700
 go there.

00:33:57.980 --> 00:33:58.180
 And

00:33:58.180 --> 00:33:58.480
 perhaps

00:33:58.480 --> 00:33:58.700
 you're

00:33:58.700 --> 00:33:59.019
 here

00:33:59.019 --> 00:33:59.400
 this

00:33:59.400 --> 00:33:59.599
 morning

00:33:59.599 --> 00:33:59.740
 and

00:33:59.740 --> 00:33:59.839
 you're

00:33:59.839 --> 00:33:59.960
 not

00:33:59.960 --> 00:34:00.099
 a

00:34:00.099 --> 00:34:00.339
 Christian

00:34:00.339 --> 00:34:00.519
 but

00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:00.660
 you're

00:34:00.660 --> 00:34:00.660


00:34:00.660 --> 00:34:00.920
 definitely

00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:01.300
 interested

00:34:01.300 --> 00:34:01.620
 and you

00:34:01.620 --> 00:34:01.900
 see the

00:34:01.900 --> 00:34:02.340
 advantages

00:34:02.340 --> 00:34:02.560
 of

00:34:02.560 --> 00:34:02.900
 Christianity

00:34:02.900 --> 00:34:03.980
 and you

00:34:03.980 --> 00:34:04.240
 want

00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:04.600
 Jesus

00:34:04.600 --> 00:34:05.040
 as an

00:34:05.040 --> 00:34:05.500
 example

00:34:05.500 --> 00:34:05.820
 you think

00:34:05.820 --> 00:34:06.000
 he'd be

00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:06.200
 great

00:34:06.200 --> 00:34:06.460
 for the

00:34:06.460 --> 00:34:06.820
 kids

00:34:06.820 --> 00:34:07.759
 but you

00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:07.980
 don't

00:34:07.980 --> 00:34:08.220
 want a

00:34:08.220 --> 00:34:08.680
 relationship

00:34:08.680 --> 00:34:09.079
 with him.

00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:10.599
 You

00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:10.840
 don't

00:34:10.840 --> 00:34:11.200
 want him

00:34:11.200 --> 00:34:11.599
 as your

00:34:11.599 --> 00:34:12.059
 Lord

00:34:12.059 --> 00:34:12.400
 and

00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:12.940
 saviour.

00:34:14.200 --> 00:34:14.639
 And

00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:14.920
 you can't

00:34:14.920 --> 00:34:15.360
 bring yourself

00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:15.960
 to admit

00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:17.200
 that you

00:34:17.200 --> 00:34:17.599
 need a

00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:17.960
 saviour

00:34:17.960 --> 00:34:18.300
 and that

00:34:18.300 --> 00:34:18.700
 you need

00:34:18.700 --> 00:34:18.960
 to be

00:34:18.960 --> 00:34:19.220
 washed

00:34:19.220 --> 00:34:19.539
 because

00:34:19.539 --> 00:34:19.800
 you

00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:20.300
 stink

00:34:20.300 --> 00:34:21.320
 like I

00:34:21.320 --> 00:34:21.480
 do.

00:34:23.200 --> 00:34:23.619
 And

00:34:23.619 --> 00:34:23.800
 that's

00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:24.079
 the reason

00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:24.400
 he came

00:34:24.400 --> 00:34:24.680
 into the

00:34:24.680 --> 00:34:25.039
 world

00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:26.440
 to

00:34:26.440 --> 00:34:26.740
 rescue.

00:34:28.340 --> 00:34:28.780
 So

00:34:28.780 --> 00:34:29.139
 don't

00:34:29.139 --> 00:34:29.500
 say no

00:34:29.500 --> 00:34:29.880
 to him.

00:34:31.399 --> 00:34:32.199
 Don't

00:34:32.199 --> 00:34:32.679
 walk

00:34:32.679 --> 00:34:33.239
 out on

00:34:33.239 --> 00:34:33.500
 him

00:34:33.500 --> 00:34:35.039
 like

00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:35.440
 Judas.

00:34:35.779 --> 00:34:36.039
 Let's

00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:36.259
 pray.
