00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.179
 Well, would you turn with me, please, in your Bibles back to Luke chapter 10.

00:00:09.179 --> 00:00:11.179
 So we'll read from verse 17 again.

00:00:11.179 --> 00:00:41.159
 In that same hour, he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit.

00:00:41.179 --> 00:00:41.839
 And said,

00:00:41.840 --> 00:01:11.840


00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.840
 Let us bow just briefly in prayer.

00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:24.219
 heavenly father as we've prayed examine our hearts so too we long for the fruit of that

00:01:24.219 --> 00:01:31.240
 examination for your holy spirit just now to take us to the things of truth and to

00:01:31.240 --> 00:01:40.400
 work in our hearts faith and assurance to stir up in us a renewed sense of obedience and a call

00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:47.940
 to faithfulness in your service above all father we ask today simply that you would lead our hearts

00:01:47.940 --> 00:01:58.200
 to a place of settled knowledge may we know our god and knowing you may we rejoice as jesus did

00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:03.300
 in all things we ask this for christ's sake amen

00:02:03.299 --> 00:02:15.699
 so luke chapter 10 is one of these passages that allows us to listen in to the prayers of jesus to

00:02:15.699 --> 00:02:23.800
 his father that itself is really striking you know what we overhear is not technical language

00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:33.240
 it's not ritual formality it's not the speech of a servant approaching a different a distant master

00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:42.620
 or that of a diplomat approaching a foreign king he doesn't speak about god he speaks to god

00:02:42.620 --> 00:02:52.140
 and it is the prayer of a son who knows his father and that matters because the christian faith

00:02:52.140 --> 00:02:59.560
 teaches us to relate to god in the same way and one of the great blessings of the christian faith

00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:07.020
 is that we are brought into the family and the household of god that we are adopted and brought

00:03:07.020 --> 00:03:13.640
 into a new relationship we're therefore not invited to speak to god as an abstract

00:03:13.640 --> 00:03:23.480
 a force that's out there that we somehow commune with but rather to see him as our father

00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:33.519
 not a remote ruler to be approached but a father to be clung on to run towards not to be approached

00:03:33.519 --> 00:03:40.560
 with special and carefully chosen words but to be approached in the rawness of our feeling

00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:49.299
 the bible doesn't encourage us to soften this at all doesn't allow us any space to hide this

00:03:49.300 --> 00:03:57.460
 but rather when scripture records prayer in fact it's always recorded showing us the intimacy and the

00:03:57.460 --> 00:04:04.020
 closeness particularly of jesus to his father and that's something that we need to reflect as well

00:04:04.020 --> 00:04:11.140
 this morning what i want to do is think about this prayer of jesus and think about really the

00:04:11.139 --> 00:04:20.339
 knowability of god the fact that jesus prays to and presents to us a god who is knowable

00:04:20.339 --> 00:04:31.939
 a god that we can relate to and know and trust a god who today wants to be known and who longs for us

00:04:31.939 --> 00:04:40.740
 to know him not to keep him at arm's length therefore but to hold him close and to have him as our friend

00:04:40.740 --> 00:04:50.340
 that's what jesus is rejoicing in here god who is lord of heaven and earth and yet a father who reveals

00:04:50.340 --> 00:04:59.139
 himself to his children so as jesus prays first of all he addresses his father as lord of heaven and

00:04:59.139 --> 00:05:05.879
 earth and it's really important that we grasp this particular point because this is the first place that

00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:13.719
 we can get to know god paul talks about this in fact in romans uh in romans 1 verse 20 paul writes and

00:05:13.719 --> 00:05:21.000
 says for his invisible attributes namely his eternal power and divine nature have been clearly perceived

00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:27.879
 ever since the creation of the world in the things that have been made and so people are without excuse

00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:36.120
 when they say they do not know god in his ways it's quite a startling thought there are some things

00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:43.639
 about god that are knowable and god himself is in some way knowable from the creation that he has made

00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:52.839
 from everything around us because god has left his fingerprints all over that creation

00:05:52.839 --> 00:06:00.979
 we want to see that in the way paul says his invisible attributes are there to be seen namely paul says his

00:06:00.979 --> 00:06:10.799
 eternal power and the eternal power of god is the magnificence of god's power and creative influence and

00:06:10.799 --> 00:06:18.259
 being in everything that we see you see it as you look out into the heavens as you look out into the depths

00:06:18.259 --> 00:06:24.839
 of space and you see the vastness of space and you see the vastness of it and yet the fact that there are

00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:34.019
 forces at work that almost defy our understanding and that at the very edges of human knowledge and science

00:06:34.019 --> 00:06:44.000
 we see out in the universe structures in play clusters of galaxies that string together in cosmic

00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:50.399
 superstructures and yet down at the smallest and most intricate levels that we can look at beyond even

00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:57.800
 the most powerful microscopes that magnify light itself we can see down into the subatomic realm

00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:04.079
 i'm often thought i always feel very sorry for murder mcphail who tried to teach me chemistry in school

00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:12.420
 because when i went to university first year in university was just spent deconstructing everything that

00:07:12.420 --> 00:07:20.259
 they teach you in high school science because it's just not nearly complete enough and the truth of

00:07:20.259 --> 00:07:27.000
 that realm of science is so intricate and marvelous and all of the structures that we see in all of the

00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:34.220
 physical world that we see it all comes from simple equations of probability beyond the subatomic realm

00:07:34.220 --> 00:07:45.880
 and in all of this complexity god has left his fingertips fingerprints he's left traces of his character for us to see

00:07:45.880 --> 00:07:50.980
 because paul says it's not only his divine power that's on display but also his divine nature

00:07:50.980 --> 00:07:55.340
 and i would take that to mean god's holiness and his justice

00:07:55.339 --> 00:08:03.119
 that in the realm of nature what we see is forces at work that require responses

00:08:03.119 --> 00:08:12.659
 in some ways that's just a simple fortune reaction equation but we see it in natural justice as well

00:08:12.659 --> 00:08:17.939
 that when something wrong happens there is a crying out for justice

00:08:17.939 --> 00:08:24.339
 there exists in creation a natural justice that needs to be served

00:08:24.339 --> 00:08:30.300
 and god's fingerprints are there because god is a just god

00:08:30.300 --> 00:08:36.360
 and so our sin cries out for punishment

00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:40.299
 justice has to be served against wrongdoing

00:08:40.299 --> 00:08:45.299
 we're seeing it just now with the epstein scandal as it just continues

00:08:45.299 --> 00:08:48.779
 to rumble through public life

00:08:48.779 --> 00:08:51.839
 everyone knows it's wrong

00:08:51.839 --> 00:08:58.459
 but there's a difficulty to ascribe justice in this situation

00:08:58.459 --> 00:09:01.279
 just how wrong is it

00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:04.179
 and how do we get to the bottom of it

00:09:04.179 --> 00:09:06.379
 well i can assure you

00:09:06.379 --> 00:09:09.899
 and i would assure the rich and the powerful

00:09:09.899 --> 00:09:11.939
 of the world if they were here today

00:09:11.940 --> 00:09:15.660
 in fact of this that there is a god who sees

00:09:15.660 --> 00:09:20.380
 there is a god who will one day exercise judgment

00:09:20.380 --> 00:09:22.040
 we've sung of it this morning already

00:09:22.040 --> 00:09:25.540
 there is a god who sees and knows

00:09:25.540 --> 00:09:27.860
 and who does not forget

00:09:27.860 --> 00:09:29.480
 the injustice

00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:32.440
 that has been perpetrated against individuals

00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:35.620
 god can be known

00:09:35.620 --> 00:09:38.700
 because the cosmos tells us

00:09:38.700 --> 00:09:41.159
 there must be justice

00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:47.139
 and paul tells us that it's the suppression of that knowledge

00:09:47.139 --> 00:09:50.179
 that leads to human beings

00:09:50.179 --> 00:09:54.419
 sinking into depravity and abuse and shame

00:09:54.419 --> 00:09:57.399
 it's the suppression of god's knowability

00:09:57.399 --> 00:10:00.960
 that actually leads people down these routes

00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:03.100
 of depravity and wickedness

00:10:03.100 --> 00:10:07.160
 and before we get carried away with pointing the finger

00:10:07.160 --> 00:10:08.360
 at the rich and the powerful

00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:11.200
 who seem to be above the power of the law

00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:12.360
 to catch them

00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:14.540
 we should also remember

00:10:14.540 --> 00:10:16.860
 that we do the same ourselves

00:10:16.860 --> 00:10:19.980
 the tiny little sins

00:10:19.980 --> 00:10:21.639
 the tiny little abuses

00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:24.200
 the tiny little moments of neglect

00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:25.680
 of what we ought to have done

00:10:25.680 --> 00:10:28.139
 cry out against us

00:10:28.139 --> 00:10:31.580
 and they demand justice

00:10:31.580 --> 00:10:34.759
 and so today I wonder

00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:36.080
 which camp are you in?

00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:38.559
 are you in the camp

00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:40.759
 that suppresses the knowledge of god

00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:43.500
 and says I don't want to know him

00:10:43.500 --> 00:10:45.819
 or are you in the camp

00:10:45.819 --> 00:10:48.279
 that says god is someone I want to know

00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:51.000
 god is someone I need to know

00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:53.539
 because my own sins

00:10:53.539 --> 00:10:56.039
 demand that I need his help

00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:59.339
 demand that I need his intervention

00:10:59.339 --> 00:11:01.599
 in my life

00:11:01.599 --> 00:11:05.279
 you see the next phrase that Jesus uses

00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:06.339
 kind of confirms this

00:11:06.339 --> 00:11:08.319
 he says father I thank you

00:11:08.319 --> 00:11:09.559
 that these things have been hidden

00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:10.779
 from the wise

00:11:10.779 --> 00:11:13.980
 the wise of this world

00:11:13.980 --> 00:11:15.360
 think themselves so smart

00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:16.000
 so clever

00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.419
 they think themselves so assured

00:11:18.419 --> 00:11:19.879
 that they've got the world sussed out

00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:21.519
 that they understand how things work

00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:22.620
 that they understand what's going on

00:11:22.620 --> 00:11:23.959
 in their own hearts a lot of the time

00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:26.379
 that they know what's going on

00:11:26.379 --> 00:11:29.180
 that the knowledge of god for them

00:11:29.180 --> 00:11:31.519
 can be suppressed

00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:35.100
 and yet god is knowable

00:11:35.100 --> 00:11:37.400
 because he is a god who reveals himself

00:11:37.400 --> 00:11:40.240
 this is the second thing that we should give thanks for today

00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:42.259
 that we have a god who hides

00:11:42.259 --> 00:11:43.759
 and reveals the truth

00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:46.540
 now it's interesting the way Jesus speaks here

00:11:46.540 --> 00:11:47.620
 he says I thank you father

00:11:47.620 --> 00:11:48.900
 that these things

00:11:48.900 --> 00:11:51.680
 have been hidden from the wise and understanding

00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:53.179
 and revealed to little children

00:11:53.179 --> 00:11:55.479
 and it's really important that we grasp

00:11:55.479 --> 00:11:56.279
 just briefly

00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:58.399
 what these things are

00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:02.399
 that these things that have been revealed

00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:05.739
 are things that Jesus speaks about in this context

00:12:05.739 --> 00:12:08.879
 what he speaks about is actually this thing

00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:10.859
 where the 72 return

00:12:10.859 --> 00:12:12.719
 from their mission

00:12:12.719 --> 00:12:15.359
 and they tell Jesus about how the demons

00:12:15.359 --> 00:12:17.639
 are subject to them in his name

00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:19.039
 so in the name of Jesus

00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:20.139
 they've been casting out demons

00:12:20.139 --> 00:12:21.939
 they've been healing the sick and so on

00:12:21.939 --> 00:12:23.460
 all the things that Jesus sent them out to do

00:12:23.460 --> 00:12:25.360
 and when they come back

00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:26.539
 they're rejoicing

00:12:26.539 --> 00:12:27.299
 they're saying Lord

00:12:27.299 --> 00:12:29.939
 even the demons are subject to us in your name

00:12:29.939 --> 00:12:32.600
 and it's that truth

00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:35.220
 that triggers Jesus to say

00:12:35.220 --> 00:12:36.500
 I saw Satan

00:12:36.500 --> 00:12:38.519
 fall like lightning from heaven

00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:40.620
 and this is the truth

00:12:40.620 --> 00:12:42.299
 that is being revealed

00:12:42.299 --> 00:12:44.500
 the demons are subject

00:12:44.500 --> 00:12:45.960
 to the disciples in Jesus name

00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:46.860
 Satan's power

00:12:46.860 --> 00:12:48.220
 to blind

00:12:48.220 --> 00:12:49.680
 Satan's power

00:12:49.680 --> 00:12:51.320
 to enslave

00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:52.500
 and deceive

00:12:52.500 --> 00:12:53.120
 the nations

00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:53.960
 has been broken

00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:55.539
 the kingdom of Satan

00:12:55.539 --> 00:12:57.240
 has been crippled

00:12:57.240 --> 00:12:59.779
 by what Jesus has done

00:12:59.779 --> 00:13:00.960
 and it's interesting

00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:02.159
 that the Greek language itself

00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:02.820
 supports this

00:13:02.820 --> 00:13:03.360
 Jesus

00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:05.080
 the way Jesus speaks here

00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:05.720
 it's like

00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:07.000
 I'm currently seeing

00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:08.200
 Satan fall from heaven

00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:09.879
 this isn't

00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:10.860
 talking about something

00:13:10.860 --> 00:13:12.019
 that happened at the fall

00:13:12.019 --> 00:13:13.259
 thousands of years earlier

00:13:13.259 --> 00:13:14.779
 it's not something

00:13:14.779 --> 00:13:15.639
 that talks about

00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:16.559
 what's going to happen

00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:17.500
 someday in the future

00:13:17.500 --> 00:13:18.519
 when Christ returns

00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:19.740
 to judge the living and the dead

00:13:19.740 --> 00:13:20.939
 it's talking about

00:13:20.939 --> 00:13:22.100
 right here at this moment

00:13:22.100 --> 00:13:23.899
 during the ministry of Jesus

00:13:23.899 --> 00:13:26.019
 Satan's kingdom

00:13:26.019 --> 00:13:27.179
 was falling

00:13:27.179 --> 00:13:28.840
 Satan's power

00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:29.759
 was crumbling

00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:31.799
 it was being

00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:32.819
 destroyed

00:13:32.819 --> 00:13:35.620
 and

00:13:35.620 --> 00:13:37.299
 you might think

00:13:37.299 --> 00:13:38.159
 as the disciples

00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:38.759
 they're hearing that

00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:39.159
 and they're thinking

00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:40.600
 wow we're part of this

00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:43.060
 and Jesus cautions them

00:13:43.060 --> 00:13:43.960
 against rejoicing

00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:44.920
 in the wrong thing

00:13:44.920 --> 00:13:46.580
 he says to them

00:13:46.580 --> 00:13:47.159
 just remember

00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:47.659
 rejoice

00:13:47.659 --> 00:13:48.019
 yes

00:13:48.019 --> 00:13:49.460
 but rejoice more so in this

00:13:49.460 --> 00:13:51.279
 not that you can cast out

00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:52.279
 demons in my name

00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:54.100
 and that they are subject

00:13:54.100 --> 00:13:54.740
 to you

00:13:54.740 --> 00:13:56.560
 but rejoice

00:13:56.560 --> 00:13:57.399
 that your names

00:13:57.399 --> 00:13:58.180
 are written

00:13:58.180 --> 00:13:59.040
 in heaven

00:13:59.040 --> 00:14:01.680
 because that's where

00:14:01.680 --> 00:14:02.399
 the real action

00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:03.320
 is taking place

00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:06.080
 the real victory

00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:07.540
 is a victory

00:14:07.540 --> 00:14:08.300
 that belongs

00:14:08.300 --> 00:14:09.279
 entirely to Jesus

00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:09.860
 because of where

00:14:09.860 --> 00:14:10.720
 these people's names

00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:11.120
 are written

00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:11.919
 the disciples names

00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:12.800
 and our names

00:14:12.800 --> 00:14:13.460
 if we're believers

00:14:13.460 --> 00:14:14.600
 are written

00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:15.659
 in the Lamb's

00:14:15.659 --> 00:14:16.919
 book of life

00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:20.220
 it must be

00:14:20.220 --> 00:14:21.700
 an enormous book

00:14:21.700 --> 00:14:24.519
 it must be huge

00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:25.680
 the number of pages

00:14:25.680 --> 00:14:27.480
 for the millions

00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:28.180
 upon millions

00:14:28.180 --> 00:14:28.680
 of people

00:14:28.680 --> 00:14:29.580
 whose names are in it

00:14:29.580 --> 00:14:31.399
 but there is a book

00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:31.899
 there

00:14:31.899 --> 00:14:33.500
 it's repeatedly

00:14:33.500 --> 00:14:34.820
 referred to in scripture

00:14:34.820 --> 00:14:36.659
 God has his list

00:14:36.659 --> 00:14:39.279
 and this book

00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:40.539
 the names

00:14:40.539 --> 00:14:42.159
 of those who are saved

00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:42.939
 by the Lamb

00:14:42.939 --> 00:14:44.459
 whose names have been

00:14:44.459 --> 00:14:44.939
 written there

00:14:44.939 --> 00:14:45.779
 before the foundation

00:14:45.779 --> 00:14:46.419
 of the world

00:14:46.419 --> 00:14:49.039
 they're there

00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:49.980
 because of the victory

00:14:49.980 --> 00:14:50.539
 of Jesus

00:14:50.539 --> 00:14:51.240
 when he finally

00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:52.199
 came into the world

00:14:52.199 --> 00:14:54.480
 ultimately

00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:55.319
 climaxing

00:14:55.319 --> 00:14:55.659
 in fact

00:14:55.659 --> 00:14:56.459
 in his death

00:14:56.459 --> 00:14:57.079
 at the cross

00:14:57.079 --> 00:14:59.139
 because the book

00:14:59.139 --> 00:15:00.139
 belongs to the Lamb

00:15:00.139 --> 00:15:00.839
 who was slain

00:15:00.839 --> 00:15:02.740
 their names

00:15:02.740 --> 00:15:03.220
 have been written

00:15:03.220 --> 00:15:04.019
 before the foundation

00:15:04.019 --> 00:15:04.699
 of the world

00:15:04.700 --> 00:15:05.700
 all the way back

00:15:05.700 --> 00:15:06.080
 in history

00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:06.560
 in time

00:15:06.560 --> 00:15:07.900
 before even time

00:15:07.900 --> 00:15:08.300
 itself

00:15:08.300 --> 00:15:10.620
 but their place

00:15:10.620 --> 00:15:11.520
 there hinges

00:15:11.520 --> 00:15:12.420
 on the obedience

00:15:12.420 --> 00:15:13.980
 of the Son

00:15:13.980 --> 00:15:14.700
 to come

00:15:14.700 --> 00:15:15.840
 at the cross

00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:17.259
 and die for his people

00:15:17.259 --> 00:15:18.300
 at that moment

00:15:18.300 --> 00:15:18.860
 in time

00:15:18.860 --> 00:15:21.500
 and Jesus

00:15:21.500 --> 00:15:23.120
 says this

00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:25.800
 God is knowable

00:15:25.800 --> 00:15:27.600
 because

00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:29.300
 of this

00:15:29.300 --> 00:15:30.600
 victory

00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:33.560
 God is knowable

00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:33.979
 today

00:15:33.979 --> 00:15:35.139
 in the victory

00:15:35.139 --> 00:15:36.239
 of

00:15:36.239 --> 00:15:37.339
 Jesus

00:15:37.339 --> 00:15:41.819
 now

00:15:41.819 --> 00:15:43.879
 I wonder

00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:44.319
 if you would

00:15:44.319 --> 00:15:44.919
 put yourself

00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:45.559
 in the

00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:46.819
 shoes

00:15:46.819 --> 00:15:47.399
 of a child

00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:48.259
 for just a moment

00:15:48.259 --> 00:15:50.919
 and you think

00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:51.339
 about what

00:15:51.339 --> 00:15:52.479
 children boast

00:15:52.479 --> 00:15:52.939
 of

00:15:52.939 --> 00:15:55.639
 very often

00:15:55.639 --> 00:15:56.099
 the things

00:15:56.099 --> 00:15:56.679
 that a child

00:15:56.679 --> 00:15:57.179
 will boast

00:15:57.179 --> 00:15:57.479
 of

00:15:57.479 --> 00:15:58.159
 is their

00:15:58.159 --> 00:15:58.899
 father's

00:15:58.899 --> 00:15:59.679
 prowess

00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:01.519
 my dad's

00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:01.919
 bigger than

00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:02.419
 your dad

00:16:02.419 --> 00:16:03.399
 and it's

00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:04.000
 almost comical

00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:04.679
 in some sense

00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:06.199
 but the point

00:16:06.199 --> 00:16:07.099
 is that a child

00:16:07.099 --> 00:16:08.079
 rejoices

00:16:08.079 --> 00:16:10.019
 in the victory

00:16:10.019 --> 00:16:10.959
 of their father

00:16:10.959 --> 00:16:13.419
 they know

00:16:13.419 --> 00:16:14.099
 their father

00:16:14.099 --> 00:16:14.919
 is strong

00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:15.299
 they know

00:16:15.299 --> 00:16:15.879
 their father

00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:16.599
 is capable

00:16:16.599 --> 00:16:17.059
 they know

00:16:17.059 --> 00:16:17.519
 their father

00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:18.099
 loves them

00:16:18.099 --> 00:16:18.419
 and looks

00:16:18.419 --> 00:16:19.019
 after them

00:16:19.019 --> 00:16:19.620
 they know

00:16:19.620 --> 00:16:20.139
 their father

00:16:20.139 --> 00:16:20.620
 has done

00:16:20.620 --> 00:16:21.000
 everything

00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:21.699
 for them

00:16:21.699 --> 00:16:22.219
 they know

00:16:22.219 --> 00:16:22.679
 their father

00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:23.240
 will fight

00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:23.699
 for them

00:16:23.699 --> 00:16:24.059
 they know

00:16:24.059 --> 00:16:24.559
 their father

00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:24.939
 is the one

00:16:24.939 --> 00:16:25.539
 who secures

00:16:25.539 --> 00:16:25.919
 them

00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:27.899
 which that's

00:16:27.899 --> 00:16:28.379
 what we ought

00:16:28.379 --> 00:16:28.740
 to think

00:16:28.740 --> 00:16:29.019
 of

00:16:29.019 --> 00:16:30.399
 human fathers

00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:30.759
 fail

00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:31.379
 so that

00:16:31.379 --> 00:16:32.220
 that model

00:16:32.220 --> 00:16:32.659
 doesn't hold

00:16:32.659 --> 00:16:33.159
 up sadly

00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:33.539
 in every

00:16:33.539 --> 00:16:33.939
 child's

00:16:33.939 --> 00:16:34.259
 life

00:16:34.259 --> 00:16:35.840
 but that's

00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:36.419
 the ideal

00:16:36.419 --> 00:16:38.939
 and it's

00:16:38.939 --> 00:16:39.220
 the same

00:16:39.220 --> 00:16:39.840
 for us

00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:41.639
 we can

00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:42.059
 think of

00:16:42.059 --> 00:16:42.639
 our father

00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:43.080
 as the

00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:43.720
 victorious

00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:44.279
 one

00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:45.539
 in Jesus

00:16:45.539 --> 00:16:47.939
 the father

00:16:47.939 --> 00:16:48.679
 who sent

00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:49.279
 the son

00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:50.840
 the father

00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:51.519
 who commissioned

00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:52.200
 him to come

00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:52.679
 and do

00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:54.340
 this work

00:16:54.340 --> 00:16:56.899
 and the father

00:16:56.899 --> 00:16:57.720
 reveals himself

00:16:57.720 --> 00:16:58.180
 to his

00:16:58.180 --> 00:16:58.680
 children

00:16:58.680 --> 00:17:00.460
 in the

00:17:00.460 --> 00:17:00.840
 victory

00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:01.580
 of Jesus

00:17:01.580 --> 00:17:04.539
 and today

00:17:04.539 --> 00:17:05.180
 you're invited

00:17:05.180 --> 00:17:05.819
 to see that

00:17:05.819 --> 00:17:06.519
 at the cross

00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:08.600
 you're invited

00:17:08.600 --> 00:17:09.220
 in fact next

00:17:09.220 --> 00:17:09.519
 Sunday

00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:10.319
 to come and

00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:10.660
 taste

00:17:10.660 --> 00:17:11.460
 in fact

00:17:11.460 --> 00:17:11.900
 of it

00:17:11.900 --> 00:17:13.200
 to literally

00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:13.839
 remember

00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:14.360
 the death

00:17:14.360 --> 00:17:14.860
 of Jesus

00:17:14.860 --> 00:17:15.980
 in your

00:17:15.980 --> 00:17:16.539
 place

00:17:16.539 --> 00:17:18.279
 to savor

00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:20.079
 that victory

00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:21.079
 in its

00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:21.460
 fullness

00:17:21.460 --> 00:17:23.819
 will you

00:17:23.819 --> 00:17:24.279
 not know

00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:24.559
 him

00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:26.619
 would you

00:17:26.619 --> 00:17:27.079
 not come

00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:27.599
 and trust

00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:28.379
 in him

00:17:28.379 --> 00:17:30.079
 he is

00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:30.460
 thirdly

00:17:30.460 --> 00:17:31.079
 Jesus tells

00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:31.519
 us a God

00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:32.000
 who therefore

00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:32.960
 also delights

00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:33.399
 in gifts

00:17:33.399 --> 00:17:33.879
 and who is

00:17:33.879 --> 00:17:34.559
 known

00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:35.659
 in being

00:17:35.659 --> 00:17:36.399
 a joyful

00:17:36.399 --> 00:17:36.919
 giver

00:17:36.919 --> 00:17:37.539
 of gifts

00:17:37.539 --> 00:17:38.419
 you see

00:17:38.419 --> 00:17:38.619
 the way

00:17:38.619 --> 00:17:39.099
 the argument

00:17:39.099 --> 00:17:39.539
 follows

00:17:39.539 --> 00:17:40.440
 Jesus

00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:40.740
 in that

00:19:42.639 --> 00:19:43.139
 for the

 we receive

00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:51.980
 something

00:19:51.980 --> 00:19:52.460
 we do

00:19:52.460 --> 00:19:52.700
 not

00:19:52.700 --> 00:19:53.220
 deserve

00:19:53.220 --> 00:19:54.620
 grace

00:19:54.620 --> 00:19:54.960
 is when

00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:55.800
 we receive

00:19:55.800 --> 00:19:57.060
 life

00:19:57.060 --> 00:19:58.600
 everlasting

00:19:58.600 --> 00:20:00.700

00:20:00.700 --> 00:20:01.320
 of the

00:20:01.320 --> 00:20:01.620
 death

00:20:01.620 --> 00:20:02.120
 we deserve

00:20:02.120 --> 00:20:04.660
 grace

00:20:04.660 --> 00:20:06.000
 is the

00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:06.460
 gift

00:20:06.460 --> 00:20:07.120

00:20:07.120 --> 00:20:07.520
 God

00:20:07.520 --> 00:20:10.000

00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:10.380
 I wonder

00:20:10.380 --> 00:20:10.780
 if you would

00:20:10.780 --> 00:20:11.460

00:20:11.840 --> 00:20:12.220

00:20:12.220 --> 00:20:12.720

00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:13.259
 about all

00:20:13.259 --> 00:20:13.480
 of the

00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:13.980
 times

00:20:13.980 --> 00:20:15.319
 where you

00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:15.559
 have

00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:16.519
 experienced

00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:18.039
 that

00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:18.819
 grace

00:20:18.819 --> 00:20:20.700
 just

00:20:20.700 --> 00:20:21.420
 pause for a

00:20:21.420 --> 00:20:21.779
 minute and

00:20:21.779 --> 00:20:22.279
 think about

00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:22.740
 all of the

00:20:22.740 --> 00:20:24.019
 times you

00:20:24.019 --> 00:20:25.000
 have received

00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:26.400
 grace

00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:30.160
 you know

00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:30.640
 grace for

00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:31.400
 when prayer

00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:31.759
 has been

00:20:31.759 --> 00:20:32.200
 answered

00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:36.620
 and I think

00:20:36.620 --> 00:20:37.000
 in my own

00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:37.420
 life about

00:20:37.420 --> 00:20:37.920
 the times

00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:38.440
 where prayer

00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:38.779
 has been

00:20:38.779 --> 00:20:39.099
 answered

00:20:39.099 --> 00:20:39.559
 and it's

00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:40.099
 remarkable

00:20:40.099 --> 00:20:42.740
 the times

00:20:42.740 --> 00:20:43.299
 where I've

00:20:43.299 --> 00:20:43.959
 been so

00:20:43.959 --> 00:20:44.559
 aware

00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:45.139
 of a

00:20:45.139 --> 00:20:45.619
 crushing

00:20:45.619 --> 00:20:46.439
 sense of

00:20:46.439 --> 00:20:47.059
 sins

00:20:47.059 --> 00:20:48.059
 defeat

00:20:48.059 --> 00:20:48.559
 in my

00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:49.059
 life

00:20:49.059 --> 00:20:50.179
 and I've

00:20:50.179 --> 00:20:50.299
 been

00:20:50.299 --> 00:20:50.919
 overwhelmed

00:20:50.919 --> 00:20:52.059
 and overpowered

00:20:52.059 --> 00:20:52.980
 and left

00:20:52.980 --> 00:20:53.639
 helpless

00:20:53.639 --> 00:20:54.539
 because of

00:20:54.539 --> 00:20:54.959
 my sin

00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:58.259
 and I've

00:20:58.259 --> 00:20:58.680
 cried out

00:20:58.680 --> 00:20:59.220
 to God

00:20:59.220 --> 00:21:01.200
 and his

00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:01.660
 mercy

00:21:01.660 --> 00:21:02.819
 has come

00:21:02.819 --> 00:21:03.100
 in

00:21:03.100 --> 00:21:04.079
 like a

00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:04.400
 flood

00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:06.140
 and his

00:21:06.140 --> 00:21:06.640
 grace

00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:07.880
 has revived

00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:09.920
 and brought

00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:10.319
 about

00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:11.140
 redemption

00:21:11.140 --> 00:21:12.440
 and salvation

00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:13.799
 where there

00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:14.480
 ought only

00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:15.140
 to be

00:21:15.140 --> 00:21:15.600
 death

00:21:15.600 --> 00:21:16.759
 and destruction

00:21:16.759 --> 00:21:19.900
 that's not

00:21:19.900 --> 00:21:20.140
 just

00:21:20.140 --> 00:21:20.860
 praying about

00:21:20.860 --> 00:21:21.240
 the times

00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:21.579
 where you've

00:21:21.579 --> 00:21:21.920
 lost your

00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:22.279
 passport

00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:22.539
 and you

00:21:22.539 --> 00:21:22.960
 can't find

00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:23.259
 it at the

00:21:23.259 --> 00:21:23.700
 last minute

00:21:23.700 --> 00:21:23.960
 and you

00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:24.380
 need it

00:21:24.380 --> 00:21:26.020
 it's

00:21:26.020 --> 00:21:26.380
 praying about

00:21:26.380 --> 00:21:26.820
 the times

00:21:26.820 --> 00:21:27.160
 where your

00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:27.620
 life has

00:21:27.620 --> 00:21:28.160
 been spared

00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:29.340
 and where

00:21:29.340 --> 00:21:30.200
 new hope

00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:30.520
 has been

00:21:30.520 --> 00:21:31.000
 brought to

00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:31.280
 you

00:21:31.280 --> 00:21:32.360
 where light

00:21:32.360 --> 00:21:33.000
 has shone

00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:33.360
 in the

00:21:33.360 --> 00:21:33.780
 darkness

00:21:33.780 --> 00:21:35.180
 where things

00:21:35.180 --> 00:21:35.480
 have been

00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:36.060
 fixed that

00:21:36.060 --> 00:21:37.040
 were irreparable

00:21:37.040 --> 00:21:39.060
 where relationships

00:21:39.060 --> 00:21:39.620
 have been

00:21:39.620 --> 00:21:40.240
 restored

00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:41.040
 where the

00:21:41.040 --> 00:21:42.320
 most basic

00:21:42.320 --> 00:21:43.400
 foul ups

00:21:43.400 --> 00:21:43.740
 in your

00:21:43.740 --> 00:21:44.240
 life

00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:45.280
 have been

00:21:45.280 --> 00:21:45.640
 overcome

00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:47.000
 by a

00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:47.440
 gracious

00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:48.320
 God

00:21:48.320 --> 00:21:49.100
 who is

00:21:49.100 --> 00:21:49.680
 pleased

00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:50.500
 to help

00:21:50.500 --> 00:21:51.040
 his

00:21:51.040 --> 00:21:51.540
 children

00:21:51.540 --> 00:21:53.440
 that is

00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:53.760
 the God

00:21:53.760 --> 00:21:54.000
 that we

00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:54.420
 can know

00:21:54.420 --> 00:21:58.299
 a God

00:21:58.299 --> 00:21:58.880
 who reaches

00:21:58.880 --> 00:21:59.579
 into our

00:21:59.579 --> 00:22:00.359
 despair

00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:02.539
 and who

00:22:02.539 --> 00:22:03.380
 brings us

00:22:03.380 --> 00:22:04.240
 hope

00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:07.400
 and today

00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:08.640
 we have

00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:09.299
 that same

00:22:09.299 --> 00:22:09.880
 God

00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:10.500
 held out

00:22:10.500 --> 00:22:11.380
 before us

00:22:11.380 --> 00:22:12.579
 that same

00:22:12.579 --> 00:22:13.099
 God who

00:22:13.099 --> 00:22:13.640
 is available

00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:14.440
 to us

00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:15.720
 that God

00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:16.180
 who reaches

00:22:16.180 --> 00:22:16.640
 into the

00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:17.119
 fires and

00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:17.700
 the destruction

00:22:17.700 --> 00:22:18.599
 of our

00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:19.220
 lives

00:22:19.220 --> 00:22:20.380
 and will

00:22:20.380 --> 00:22:21.200
 take us

00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:22.360
 out of it

00:22:22.360 --> 00:22:24.000
 and set

00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:24.340
 us

00:22:24.340 --> 00:22:25.039
 on a

00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:25.340
 place

00:22:25.340 --> 00:22:25.799
 of sure

00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:26.200
 footing

00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:27.559
 and sure

00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:28.039
 ground

00:22:28.039 --> 00:22:29.600
 the truth

00:22:29.600 --> 00:22:29.940
 is all

00:22:29.940 --> 00:22:30.180
 of these

00:22:30.180 --> 00:22:30.539
 moments

00:22:30.539 --> 00:22:30.819
 that you

00:22:30.819 --> 00:22:31.160
 can look

00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:31.680
 back on

00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:32.519
 God

00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:33.059
 is in

00:22:33.059 --> 00:22:33.340
 them

00:22:33.340 --> 00:22:34.700
 God

00:22:34.700 --> 00:22:35.259
 is working

00:22:35.259 --> 00:22:35.680
 already

00:22:35.680 --> 00:22:36.440
 in the

00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:36.720
 lives

00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:36.980
 of his

00:22:36.980 --> 00:22:37.400
 people

00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:38.860
 and he

00:22:38.860 --> 00:22:39.380
 is making

00:22:39.380 --> 00:22:39.900
 himself

00:22:39.900 --> 00:22:40.420
 known

00:22:40.420 --> 00:22:41.080
 through

00:22:41.080 --> 00:22:41.360
 his

00:22:41.360 --> 00:22:41.860
 grace

00:22:41.859 --> 00:22:46.219
 there's a

00:22:46.219 --> 00:22:46.479
 wonderful

00:22:46.479 --> 00:22:46.979
 expression

00:22:46.979 --> 00:22:47.639
 in Hosea

00:22:47.639 --> 00:22:49.119
 Hosea

00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:49.659
 chapter 1

00:22:49.659 --> 00:22:50.179
 verse 10

00:22:50.179 --> 00:22:51.039
 it says

00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:51.240
 in the

00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:51.599
 place

00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:52.099
 where it

00:22:52.099 --> 00:22:52.519
 was said

00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:52.959
 to them

00:22:52.959 --> 00:22:53.339
 you are

00:22:53.339 --> 00:22:53.859
 not my

00:22:53.859 --> 00:22:54.299
 people

00:22:54.299 --> 00:22:55.619
 it shall

00:22:55.619 --> 00:22:56.019
 be said

00:22:56.019 --> 00:22:56.419
 of them

00:22:56.419 --> 00:22:57.240
 you are

00:22:57.240 --> 00:22:57.839
 children

00:22:57.839 --> 00:22:58.899
 of the

00:22:58.899 --> 00:22:59.159
 living

00:22:59.159 --> 00:22:59.619
 God

00:22:59.619 --> 00:23:02.819
 and this

00:23:02.819 --> 00:23:03.059
 is how

00:23:03.059 --> 00:23:03.439
 our God

00:23:03.439 --> 00:23:03.819
 is known

00:23:03.819 --> 00:23:05.679
 he takes

00:23:05.679 --> 00:23:06.240
 people who

00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:06.699
 actually

00:23:06.699 --> 00:23:07.359
 deserve

00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:08.279
 to be

00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:09.039
 left

00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:09.799
 lost

00:23:09.799 --> 00:23:10.639
 and abandoned

00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:12.020
 cast out

00:23:12.020 --> 00:23:12.500
 utterly

00:23:12.500 --> 00:23:14.100
 and he

00:23:14.100 --> 00:23:14.720
 takes them

00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:15.840
 and he

00:23:15.840 --> 00:23:16.280
 brings them

00:23:16.280 --> 00:23:16.620
 in as

00:23:16.620 --> 00:23:16.800
 his

00:23:16.800 --> 00:23:17.200
 children

00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:18.440
 and says

00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:18.940
 I will

00:23:18.940 --> 00:23:19.280
 be to

00:23:19.280 --> 00:23:19.660
 you a

00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:21.740

00:23:22.120 --> 00:23:22.700
 son

00:23:22.700 --> 00:23:24.620
 what a

 privilege

00:23:25.040 --> 00:23:25.620
 that is

00:23:25.620 --> 00:23:25.980

00:23:26.280 --> 00:23:27.820
 to know

00:23:27.820 --> 00:23:28.100
 that there

00:23:28.100 --> 00:23:28.340

 God

00:23:28.620 --> 00:23:29.240
 who wants

00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:30.280
 to adopt

 us

00:23:30.900 --> 00:23:31.540

00:23:35.700 --> 00:23:36.660
 good

00:23:36.660 --> 00:23:37.540
 pleasure

00:23:37.540 --> 00:23:39.400
 out of

00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:39.800
 his

00:23:39.800 --> 00:23:40.620
 grace

00:23:40.619 --> 00:23:40.859
 peace

00:23:40.859 --> 00:23:43.619
 there is

00:23:43.619 --> 00:23:44.099
 fourthly a

00:23:44.099 --> 00:23:44.459
 God who

00:23:44.459 --> 00:23:45.139
 is known

00:23:45.139 --> 00:23:47.199
 in this

00:23:47.199 --> 00:23:47.599
 thing that

00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:48.119
 Jesus talks

00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:48.299
 about

00:23:48.299 --> 00:23:48.739
 the father

00:23:48.739 --> 00:23:49.259
 has handed

00:23:49.259 --> 00:23:49.699
 over to

00:23:49.699 --> 00:23:50.000
 me

00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:51.639
 authority

00:23:51.639 --> 00:23:52.699
 you see

00:23:52.699 --> 00:23:52.859
 it in

00:23:52.859 --> 00:23:53.000
 verse

00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:53.539
 21

00:23:53.539 --> 00:23:54.779
 for

00:23:54.779 --> 00:23:55.539
 in verse

00:23:55.539 --> 00:23:55.959
 22

00:23:55.959 --> 00:23:57.000
 all things

00:23:57.000 --> 00:23:57.299
 Jesus

00:23:57.299 --> 00:23:57.659
 says

00:23:57.659 --> 00:23:58.419
 have been

00:23:58.419 --> 00:23:59.039
 handed over

00:23:59.039 --> 00:23:59.379
 to me

00:23:59.379 --> 00:23:59.799
 by my

00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:00.219
 father

00:24:00.219 --> 00:24:01.359
 and no

00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:01.879
 one knows

00:24:01.879 --> 00:24:02.159
 who the

00:24:02.159 --> 00:24:02.479
 son is

00:24:02.479 --> 00:24:02.759
 except

00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:03.319
 the father

00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:04.419
 or who

00:24:04.419 --> 00:24:04.819
 the father

00:24:04.819 --> 00:24:05.279
 is except

00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:05.639
 the son

00:24:05.639 --> 00:24:05.959
 and anyone

00:24:05.959 --> 00:24:06.219
 to whom

00:24:06.219 --> 00:24:06.639
 the son

00:24:06.639 --> 00:24:07.179
 chooses

00:24:07.179 --> 00:24:08.059
 to reveal

00:24:08.059 --> 00:24:08.359
 him

00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:09.759
 all things

00:24:09.759 --> 00:24:10.379
 have been

00:24:10.379 --> 00:24:10.740
 handed

00:24:10.740 --> 00:24:11.319
 over to

00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:11.480
 me

00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:11.779
 Jesus

00:24:11.779 --> 00:24:12.160
 says

00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:13.920
 and this

00:24:13.920 --> 00:24:14.160
 is the

00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:14.460
 truth

00:24:14.460 --> 00:24:15.879
 God

00:24:15.879 --> 00:24:16.619
 is known

00:24:16.619 --> 00:24:17.980
 in the

00:24:17.980 --> 00:24:18.779
 way he

00:24:18.779 --> 00:24:19.759
 has handed

00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:20.440
 over

00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:21.599
 power and

00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:22.140
 authority

00:24:22.140 --> 00:24:23.519
 to

00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:24.579
 Jesus

00:24:24.579 --> 00:24:26.519
 this is a

00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:26.920
 bit tricky

00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:27.420
 so let me

00:24:27.420 --> 00:24:28.440
 just try and

00:24:28.440 --> 00:24:29.000
 explain this

00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:29.259
 and get

00:24:29.259 --> 00:24:30.660
 the logic

00:24:30.660 --> 00:24:31.059
 of this

00:24:31.059 --> 00:24:31.359
 right

00:24:31.359 --> 00:24:33.899
 the 72

00:24:33.899 --> 00:24:34.279
 have

00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:34.799
 returned

00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:36.839
 and they're

00:24:36.839 --> 00:24:37.479
 rejoicing

00:24:37.479 --> 00:24:38.179
 and they're

00:24:38.179 --> 00:24:38.579
 saying

00:24:38.579 --> 00:24:39.919
 we are

00:24:39.919 --> 00:24:40.479
 so

00:24:40.479 --> 00:24:42.039
 delighted

00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:43.579
 to report

00:24:43.579 --> 00:24:45.079
 that even

00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:45.740
 the demons

00:24:45.740 --> 00:24:46.579
 are subject

00:24:46.579 --> 00:24:47.299
 to us

00:24:47.299 --> 00:24:49.319
 not because

00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:49.879
 we're great

00:24:49.879 --> 00:24:51.779
 but they

00:24:51.779 --> 00:24:52.259
 are subject

00:24:52.259 --> 00:24:52.899
 to us

00:24:52.899 --> 00:24:53.939
 in

00:24:53.939 --> 00:24:54.959
 your

00:24:54.959 --> 00:24:55.699
 name

00:24:55.699 --> 00:24:57.839
 so at

00:24:57.839 --> 00:24:58.119
 the name

00:24:58.119 --> 00:24:58.719
 of Jesus

00:24:58.719 --> 00:24:59.799
 miracles are

00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:00.419
 being performed

00:25:00.420 --> 00:25:02.600
 at the name

00:25:02.600 --> 00:25:03.600
 of Jesus

00:25:03.600 --> 00:25:04.380
 demons are

00:25:04.380 --> 00:25:04.880
 being thrown

00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:06.259
 out of

00:25:06.259 --> 00:25:06.759
 blighted

00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:07.200
 lives

00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:08.720
 at the name

00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:09.259
 of Jesus

00:25:09.259 --> 00:25:10.080
 freedom has

00:25:10.080 --> 00:25:11.380
 come into

00:25:11.380 --> 00:25:12.180
 the experience

00:25:12.180 --> 00:25:13.140
 of these

00:25:13.140 --> 00:25:13.500
 people

00:25:13.500 --> 00:25:15.640
 and we see

00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:16.100
 that today

00:25:16.100 --> 00:25:16.580
 still

00:25:16.580 --> 00:25:18.180
 I think

00:25:18.180 --> 00:25:18.460
 about the

00:25:18.460 --> 00:25:18.880
 work of

00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:19.300
 road to

00:25:19.300 --> 00:25:19.640
 recovery

00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:20.140
 for example

00:25:20.140 --> 00:25:21.160
 we see

00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:21.580
 their very

00:25:21.580 --> 00:25:22.160
 tangible

00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:22.840
 evidence

00:25:22.840 --> 00:25:23.519
 real

00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:24.060
 evidence

00:25:24.060 --> 00:25:24.960
 of the

00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:25.320
 victory

00:25:25.320 --> 00:25:25.860
 of Jesus

00:25:25.860 --> 00:25:26.700
 that in

00:25:26.700 --> 00:25:27.100
 Christ's

00:25:27.100 --> 00:25:27.220
 name

00:25:27.220 --> 00:25:27.660
 people are

00:25:27.660 --> 00:25:27.960
 set

00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:28.220
 free

00:25:28.220 --> 00:25:30.440
 released

00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:30.960
 from

00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:31.799
 slavery

00:25:31.799 --> 00:25:32.000
 and

00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:32.319
 addiction

00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:34.779
 we see

00:25:34.779 --> 00:25:35.220
 it in

00:25:35.220 --> 00:25:36.100
 the gospel

00:25:36.100 --> 00:25:37.380
 we see

00:25:37.380 --> 00:25:37.539
 it in

00:25:37.539 --> 00:25:38.240
 the stories

00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:39.319
 of repentance

00:25:39.319 --> 00:25:40.019
 in people's

00:25:40.019 --> 00:25:40.460
 lives

00:25:40.460 --> 00:25:41.079
 we still

00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:41.559
 see this

00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:42.079
 it still

00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:42.500
 happens

00:25:42.500 --> 00:25:44.019
 and it's

00:25:44.019 --> 00:25:44.220
 at the

00:25:44.220 --> 00:25:44.360
 name

00:25:44.360 --> 00:25:44.500
 of

00:25:44.500 --> 00:25:44.920
 Jesus

00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:46.360
 and so

00:25:46.360 --> 00:25:46.700
 Jesus

00:25:46.700 --> 00:25:47.600
 then rejoices

00:25:47.600 --> 00:25:47.839
 in the

00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:48.319
 Holy Spirit

00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:48.860
 thanking

00:25:48.860 --> 00:25:49.420
 the Father

00:25:49.420 --> 00:25:50.019
 for the

00:25:50.019 --> 00:25:50.660
 revelation

00:25:50.660 --> 00:25:51.559
 of this

00:25:51.559 --> 00:25:53.759
 for the

00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:54.180
 revelation

00:25:54.180 --> 00:25:54.640
 that this

00:25:54.640 --> 00:25:55.039
 has been

00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:55.660
 to these

00:25:55.660 --> 00:25:56.039
 humble

00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:56.339
 little

00:25:56.339 --> 00:25:56.779
 children

00:25:56.779 --> 00:25:58.119
 those

00:25:58.119 --> 00:25:58.319
 who have

00:25:58.319 --> 00:25:58.700
 come

00:25:58.700 --> 00:25:59.200
 with that

00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:00.200
 childlike

00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:00.920
 humility

00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:01.299
 to the

00:26:01.299 --> 00:26:01.559
 Father

00:26:01.559 --> 00:26:02.519
 those

00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:02.720
 who have

00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:02.980
 come

00:26:02.980 --> 00:26:03.319
 with that

00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:03.920
 childlike

00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:04.399
 faith

00:26:04.399 --> 00:26:05.279
 trusting

00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:06.000
 in

00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:06.359
 Jesus

00:26:06.359 --> 00:26:07.700
 and then

00:26:07.700 --> 00:26:08.399
 he acknowledges

00:26:08.399 --> 00:26:09.200
 all things

00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:09.500
 have been

00:26:09.500 --> 00:26:09.940
 handed over

00:26:09.940 --> 00:26:10.180
 to him

00:26:10.180 --> 00:26:10.420
 by the

00:26:10.420 --> 00:26:10.680
 Father

00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:11.559
 so the

00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:12.240
 all things

00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:12.619
 that I

00:26:12.619 --> 00:26:12.940
 think he's

00:26:12.940 --> 00:26:13.559
 referring to

00:26:13.559 --> 00:26:13.879
 there

00:26:13.879 --> 00:26:14.899
 has to

00:26:14.899 --> 00:26:15.319
 do with

00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:16.240
 salvation

00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:18.420
 it has

00:26:18.420 --> 00:26:18.740
 to do

00:26:18.740 --> 00:26:19.099
 with this

00:26:19.099 --> 00:26:19.680
 work of

00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:20.660
 Satan's

00:26:20.660 --> 00:26:21.000
 kingdom

00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:21.779
 being broken

00:26:21.779 --> 00:26:22.420
 and cast

00:26:22.420 --> 00:26:22.680
 down

00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:23.319
 and destroyed

00:26:23.319 --> 00:26:24.379
 of Satan's

00:26:24.379 --> 00:26:25.119
 power itself

00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:25.740
 of Satan

00:26:25.740 --> 00:26:26.180
 himself

00:26:26.180 --> 00:26:27.080
 falling

00:26:27.080 --> 00:26:28.920
 collapsing

00:26:28.920 --> 00:26:31.120
 in fact

00:26:31.120 --> 00:26:31.340
 it goes

00:26:31.340 --> 00:26:31.660
 all the way

00:26:31.660 --> 00:26:31.960
 back to

00:26:31.960 --> 00:26:32.200
 the very

00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:32.480
 beginning

00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:32.759
 of the

00:26:32.759 --> 00:26:33.000
 Bible

00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:33.460
 to the

00:26:33.460 --> 00:26:34.720
 first

00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:35.620
 proclamation

00:26:35.620 --> 00:26:36.259
 of good

00:26:36.259 --> 00:26:36.620
 news

00:26:36.620 --> 00:26:37.480
 that the

00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:37.799
 seed of

00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:38.200
 the woman

00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:39.680
 would bruise

00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:40.019
 the head

00:26:40.019 --> 00:26:40.259
 of the

00:26:40.259 --> 00:26:40.539
 serpent

00:26:40.539 --> 00:26:41.440
 would deliver

00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:41.960
 a fatal

00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:42.360
 blow

00:26:42.360 --> 00:26:43.279
 to the

00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:43.539
 serpent

00:26:43.539 --> 00:26:45.299
 and that

00:26:45.299 --> 00:26:45.600
 is what

00:26:45.600 --> 00:26:45.920
 Jesus

00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:46.720
 achieves

00:26:46.720 --> 00:26:48.840
 and he

00:26:48.840 --> 00:26:49.320
 achieves

00:26:49.320 --> 00:26:49.600
 it

00:26:49.600 --> 00:26:51.380
 because of

00:26:51.380 --> 00:26:52.600
 a functional

00:26:52.600 --> 00:26:54.820
 reality

00:26:54.820 --> 00:26:55.320
 within the

00:26:55.320 --> 00:26:55.720
 Trinity

00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:56.720
 and this

00:26:56.720 --> 00:26:56.960
 is a

00:26:56.960 --> 00:26:58.039
 deep

00:26:58.039 --> 00:26:58.620
 theology

00:26:58.620 --> 00:26:58.980
 it's a

00:26:58.980 --> 00:26:59.360
 difficult

00:26:59.360 --> 00:26:59.839
 theology

00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:00.200
 for us

00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:00.980
 to grasp

00:27:00.980 --> 00:27:01.259
 in its

00:27:01.259 --> 00:27:01.579
 fullness

00:27:01.579 --> 00:27:02.620
 but it

00:27:02.620 --> 00:27:02.960
 is that

00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:03.460
 within the

00:27:03.460 --> 00:27:03.880
 Trinity

00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:04.759
 there is

00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:05.819
 what we

00:27:05.819 --> 00:27:06.200
 could call

00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:06.860
 a functional

00:27:06.860 --> 00:27:07.660
 subordination

00:27:07.660 --> 00:27:09.420
 we know

00:27:09.420 --> 00:27:10.180
 the Trinity

00:27:10.180 --> 00:27:10.980
 the Godhead

00:27:10.980 --> 00:27:11.259
 is the

00:27:11.259 --> 00:27:11.500
 Father

00:27:11.500 --> 00:27:11.819
 the Son

00:27:11.819 --> 00:27:12.000
 and the

00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:12.360
 Holy Spirit

00:27:12.360 --> 00:27:12.579
 and these

00:27:12.579 --> 00:27:12.819
 three are

00:27:12.819 --> 00:27:13.220
 one God

00:27:13.220 --> 00:27:13.460
 same

00:27:13.460 --> 00:27:14.680
 substance

00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:15.200
 and glory

00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:15.779
 and power

00:27:15.779 --> 00:27:16.720
 same

00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:17.380
 entitlement

00:27:17.380 --> 00:27:18.120
 to the

00:27:18.120 --> 00:27:18.559
 praise of

00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:19.019
 the nations

00:27:19.019 --> 00:27:20.039
 they are

00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:21.079
 equal in

00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:21.579
 every way

00:27:21.579 --> 00:27:23.519
 but within

00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:24.159
 the function

00:27:24.159 --> 00:27:24.720
 of the Trinity

00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:25.220
 and the function

00:27:25.220 --> 00:27:26.079
 of our salvation

00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:26.919
 there is a

00:27:26.919 --> 00:27:27.500
 subordination

00:27:27.500 --> 00:27:27.980
 enters in

00:27:27.980 --> 00:27:28.639
 the Father

00:27:28.639 --> 00:27:30.019
 sends the

00:27:30.019 --> 00:27:30.319
 Son

00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:32.720
 and the

00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:33.079
 Son

00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:33.819
 although he

00:27:33.819 --> 00:27:34.279
 is equal

00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:34.619
 with the

00:27:34.619 --> 00:27:34.879
 Father

00:27:34.879 --> 00:27:35.740
 agrees to

00:27:35.740 --> 00:27:36.220
 be sent

00:27:36.220 --> 00:27:38.559
 and then

00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:39.139
 the Son

00:27:39.139 --> 00:27:40.019
 as part of

00:27:40.019 --> 00:27:40.819
 his victory

00:27:40.819 --> 00:27:42.439
 sends the

00:27:42.439 --> 00:27:43.059
 Holy Spirit

00:27:43.059 --> 00:27:44.539
 and the Holy

00:27:44.539 --> 00:27:45.159
 Spirit now

00:27:45.159 --> 00:27:45.980
 comes and

00:27:45.980 --> 00:27:47.639
 dwells

00:27:47.640 --> 00:27:48.720
 within

00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:50.080
 his people

00:27:50.080 --> 00:27:52.460
 there is

00:27:52.460 --> 00:27:53.460
 that subordination

00:27:53.460 --> 00:27:54.620
 of function

00:27:54.620 --> 00:27:57.700
 and the

00:27:57.700 --> 00:27:58.080
 Father

00:27:58.080 --> 00:27:59.100
 in order

00:27:59.100 --> 00:27:59.920
 to achieve

00:27:59.920 --> 00:28:00.300
 all of

00:28:00.300 --> 00:28:00.520
 this

00:28:00.520 --> 00:28:00.880
 Jesus

00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:01.560
 rejoices

00:28:01.560 --> 00:28:01.840
 in this

00:28:01.840 --> 00:28:02.080
 truth

00:28:02.080 --> 00:28:02.960
 the Father

00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:03.860
 has handed

00:28:03.860 --> 00:28:04.740
 all things

00:28:04.740 --> 00:28:05.100
 over to

00:28:05.100 --> 00:28:05.440
 the Son

00:28:05.440 --> 00:28:06.940
 that today

00:28:06.940 --> 00:28:08.400
 every aspect

00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:08.920
 of our

00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:09.560
 salvation

00:28:09.560 --> 00:28:11.320
 is rooted

00:28:11.320 --> 00:28:11.720
 in

00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:13.000
 and secured

00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:13.540
 by

00:28:13.540 --> 00:28:14.500
 Jesus

00:28:14.500 --> 00:28:15.360
 himself

00:28:15.360 --> 00:28:16.259
 because he

00:28:16.259 --> 00:28:16.640
 has been

00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:17.060
 given

00:28:17.059 --> 00:28:18.359
 that role

00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:18.779
 in its

00:28:18.779 --> 00:28:19.179
 fullness

00:28:19.179 --> 00:28:19.980
 by the

00:28:19.980 --> 00:28:20.319
 Father

00:28:20.319 --> 00:28:21.460
 the Father

00:28:21.460 --> 00:28:21.899
 has said

00:28:21.899 --> 00:28:22.619
 it's yours

00:28:22.619 --> 00:28:23.019
 to do

00:28:23.019 --> 00:28:25.019
 and now

00:28:25.019 --> 00:28:25.359
 Jesus

00:28:25.359 --> 00:28:25.919
 has come

00:28:25.919 --> 00:28:27.419
 and he's

00:28:27.419 --> 00:28:27.899
 obeyed

00:28:27.899 --> 00:28:28.139
 and he's

00:28:28.139 --> 00:28:28.460
 gone to

00:28:28.460 --> 00:28:28.960
 the cross

00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:29.679
 and he

00:28:29.679 --> 00:28:30.440
 has done

00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:31.480
 what is

00:28:31.480 --> 00:28:32.220
 necessary

00:28:32.220 --> 00:28:32.940
 for your

00:28:32.940 --> 00:28:33.440
 salvation

00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:33.919
 and mine

00:28:33.919 --> 00:28:36.639
 so much

00:28:36.639 --> 00:28:37.039
 so that at

00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:37.359
 the end

00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:37.599
 of the

00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:37.940
 cross

00:28:37.940 --> 00:28:38.240
 he can

00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:38.500
 say

00:28:38.500 --> 00:28:38.839
 it is

00:28:38.839 --> 00:28:39.480
 finished

00:28:39.480 --> 00:28:41.339
 there's

00:28:41.339 --> 00:28:41.559
 nothing

00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:41.899
 more

00:28:41.899 --> 00:28:42.359
 needed

00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:44.200
 no more

00:28:44.200 --> 00:28:44.720
 work to

00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:44.960
 do

00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:46.960
 and

00:28:46.960 --> 00:28:49.079
 all of

00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:49.420
 this

00:28:49.420 --> 00:28:50.940
 is for

00:28:50.940 --> 00:28:51.380
 our

00:28:51.380 --> 00:28:52.559
 security

00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:55.100
 because

00:28:55.100 --> 00:28:55.460
 there is

00:28:55.460 --> 00:28:56.120
 just one

00:28:56.120 --> 00:28:56.759
 person

00:28:56.759 --> 00:28:58.720
 just the

00:28:58.720 --> 00:28:59.319
 perfect

00:28:59.319 --> 00:29:00.259
 one

00:29:00.259 --> 00:29:01.000
 tool

00:29:01.000 --> 00:29:02.259
 that is

00:29:02.259 --> 00:29:02.680
 needed

00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:04.680
 to complete

00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:06.019
 our salvation

00:29:06.019 --> 00:29:08.980
 and one

00:29:08.980 --> 00:29:10.039
 practical

00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:10.940
 example of

00:29:10.940 --> 00:29:11.360
 this will

00:29:11.360 --> 00:29:11.920
 be next

00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:12.340
 Sunday

00:29:12.340 --> 00:29:12.660
 as we

00:29:12.660 --> 00:29:13.019
 come to

00:29:13.019 --> 00:29:13.420
 the Lord's

00:29:13.420 --> 00:29:13.660
 table

00:29:13.660 --> 00:29:15.920
 when

00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:16.259
 Jesus

00:29:16.259 --> 00:29:16.879
 instructed

00:29:16.879 --> 00:29:17.259
 us to

00:29:17.259 --> 00:29:17.500
 say

00:29:17.500 --> 00:29:18.240
 and said

00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:18.759
 do this

00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:18.920
 in

00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:19.519
 remembrance

00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:20.299
 of me

00:29:20.299 --> 00:29:21.980
 he's

00:29:21.980 --> 00:29:22.400
 inviting

00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:22.779
 us to

00:29:22.779 --> 00:29:23.259
 a means

00:29:23.259 --> 00:29:24.079
 of grace

00:29:24.079 --> 00:29:25.680
 he's

00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:26.039
 inviting

00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:26.420
 us

00:29:26.420 --> 00:29:27.019
 to a

00:29:27.019 --> 00:29:27.299
 means

00:29:27.299 --> 00:29:27.980
 by which

00:29:27.980 --> 00:29:28.279
 our

00:29:28.279 --> 00:29:28.680
 faith

00:29:28.680 --> 00:29:29.200
 in God

00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:29.680
 can be

00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:30.480
 strengthened

00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:32.759
 by which

00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:33.180
 we can

00:29:33.180 --> 00:29:33.819
 receive

00:29:33.819 --> 00:29:34.720
 encouragement

00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:37.139
 because

00:29:37.139 --> 00:29:37.779
 in the

00:29:37.779 --> 00:29:38.139
 Lord's

00:29:38.139 --> 00:29:38.339
 Supper

00:29:38.339 --> 00:29:39.160
 we remember

00:29:39.160 --> 00:29:40.319
 everything

00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:40.879
 about our

00:29:40.879 --> 00:29:41.359
 salvation

00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:42.719
 rests on

00:29:42.719 --> 00:29:43.439
 the work

00:29:43.439 --> 00:29:44.159
 of

00:29:44.159 --> 00:29:45.000
 Jesus

00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:48.679
 it

00:29:48.679 --> 00:29:49.299
 rests on

00:29:49.299 --> 00:29:49.559
 what he

00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:49.939
 has done

00:29:49.939 --> 00:29:52.459
 now I

00:29:52.459 --> 00:29:52.759
 know

00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:54.799
 that

00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:56.279
 there is

00:29:56.279 --> 00:29:56.879
 a tradition

00:29:56.879 --> 00:29:58.439
 in our

00:29:58.439 --> 00:29:58.839
 island

00:29:58.839 --> 00:30:00.079
 in our

00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:00.559
 culture

00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:02.259
 in our

00:30:02.259 --> 00:30:02.959
 congregation

00:30:02.959 --> 00:30:05.779
 where some

00:30:05.779 --> 00:30:06.179
 of you

00:30:06.179 --> 00:30:06.779
 think

00:30:06.779 --> 00:30:09.359
 that I

00:30:09.359 --> 00:30:09.639
 need to

00:30:09.639 --> 00:30:10.319
 be strong

00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:10.819
 enough to

00:30:10.819 --> 00:30:11.079
 go to

00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:11.200
 the

00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:11.480
 Lord's

00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:11.720
 table

00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:14.440
 that I

00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:14.759
 need to

00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:15.099
 go to

00:30:15.099 --> 00:30:15.240
 the

00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:15.519
 Lord's

00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:15.779
 table

00:30:15.779 --> 00:30:16.240
 having

00:30:16.240 --> 00:30:16.799
 already

00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:18.859
 attained

00:30:18.859 --> 00:30:20.000
 a measure

00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:20.680
 of strength

00:30:20.680 --> 00:30:23.519
 and I

00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:23.779
 want to

00:30:23.779 --> 00:30:24.119
 say to

00:30:24.119 --> 00:30:24.619
 you simply

00:30:24.619 --> 00:30:25.099
 this

00:30:25.099 --> 00:30:27.119
 Jesus

00:30:27.119 --> 00:30:28.660
 has done

00:30:28.660 --> 00:30:29.879
 it all

00:30:29.879 --> 00:30:32.180
 the father

00:30:32.180 --> 00:30:32.839
 didn't say

00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:33.940
 I'm going to

00:30:33.940 --> 00:30:35.000
 give some

00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:35.259
 of the

00:30:35.259 --> 00:30:35.639
 authority

00:30:35.640 --> 00:30:36.360
 to Jesus

00:30:36.360 --> 00:30:37.480
 but I'm

00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:37.680
 going to

00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:38.080
 hold back

00:30:38.080 --> 00:30:38.420
 a little

00:30:38.420 --> 00:30:38.880
 bit to

00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:39.820
 give to

00:30:39.820 --> 00:30:40.500
 you know

00:30:40.500 --> 00:30:40.680
 Ian

00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:40.920
 Murdoch

00:30:40.920 --> 00:30:42.620
 or to

00:30:42.620 --> 00:30:42.860
 Gordon

00:30:42.860 --> 00:30:43.420
 Matheson

00:30:43.420 --> 00:30:45.100
 to say

00:30:45.100 --> 00:30:45.660
 they have

00:30:45.660 --> 00:30:45.980
 to get

00:30:45.980 --> 00:30:46.480
 themselves

00:30:46.480 --> 00:30:46.880
 to a

00:30:46.880 --> 00:30:47.140
 point

00:30:47.140 --> 00:30:47.460
 where they

00:30:47.460 --> 00:30:47.620
 can

00:30:47.620 --> 00:30:48.280
 receive

00:30:48.280 --> 00:30:49.600
 our

00:30:49.600 --> 00:30:50.040
 salvation

00:30:50.040 --> 00:30:50.520
 doesn't

00:30:50.520 --> 00:30:51.020
 work like

00:30:51.020 --> 00:30:51.340
 that

00:30:51.340 --> 00:30:52.880
 it's

00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:53.440
 all

00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:54.320
 of

00:30:54.320 --> 00:30:55.200
 Jesus

00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:57.280
 and so

00:30:57.280 --> 00:30:57.620
 when we

00:30:57.620 --> 00:30:58.000
 come to

00:30:58.000 --> 00:30:58.440
 the Lord's

00:30:58.440 --> 00:30:58.700
 table

00:30:58.700 --> 00:30:59.060
 what we

00:30:59.060 --> 00:30:59.740
 come to

00:30:59.740 --> 00:31:00.920
 is a

00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:01.740
 proclamation

00:31:01.740 --> 00:31:03.519
 of our

00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:04.339
 whole

00:31:04.339 --> 00:31:05.539
 dependence

00:31:05.539 --> 00:31:06.359
 on Christ

00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:09.039
 and you're

00:31:09.039 --> 00:31:09.319
 not going

00:31:09.319 --> 00:31:09.720
 to find

00:31:09.720 --> 00:31:10.259
 strength

00:31:10.259 --> 00:31:10.779
 for anything

00:31:10.779 --> 00:31:11.279
 else

00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:14.220
 what you'll

00:31:14.220 --> 00:31:14.839
 actually find

00:31:14.839 --> 00:31:15.420
 instead is

00:31:15.420 --> 00:31:15.819
 when you

00:31:15.819 --> 00:31:16.259
 come in

00:31:16.259 --> 00:31:16.420
 that

00:31:16.420 --> 00:31:17.120
 obedience

00:31:17.120 --> 00:31:18.099
 when you

00:31:18.099 --> 00:31:18.420
 come in

00:31:18.420 --> 00:31:18.859
 humble

00:31:18.859 --> 00:31:19.880
 childlike

00:31:19.880 --> 00:31:20.339
 obedience

00:31:20.339 --> 00:31:21.420
 to the

00:31:21.420 --> 00:31:21.759
 Lord's

00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:22.039
 table

00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:23.480
 you will

00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:23.980
 receive

00:31:23.980 --> 00:31:24.839
 the strength

00:31:24.839 --> 00:31:25.319
 you long

00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:25.599
 for

00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:27.359
 you will

00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:28.140
 receive the

00:31:28.140 --> 00:31:28.680
 strength

00:31:28.680 --> 00:31:29.420
 there that

00:31:29.420 --> 00:31:29.640
 you're

00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:30.099
 craving

00:31:30.099 --> 00:31:30.819
 that you

00:31:30.819 --> 00:31:31.279
 need

00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:32.959
 because it's

00:31:32.959 --> 00:31:33.679
 a means

00:31:33.679 --> 00:31:34.579
 of the

00:31:34.579 --> 00:31:35.139
 grace of

00:31:35.139 --> 00:31:35.579
 God

00:31:35.579 --> 00:31:36.659
 flowing

00:31:36.659 --> 00:31:37.199
 into our

00:31:37.199 --> 00:31:37.679
 lives

00:31:37.679 --> 00:31:39.099
 as we

00:31:39.099 --> 00:31:39.619
 take part

00:31:39.619 --> 00:31:39.899
 of that

00:31:39.899 --> 00:31:40.299
 bread and

00:31:40.299 --> 00:31:40.859
 that wine

00:31:40.859 --> 00:31:42.519
 by faith

00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:44.219
 because it's

00:31:44.219 --> 00:31:44.659
 all of

00:31:44.659 --> 00:31:45.119
 Jesus

00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:46.480
 it's not

00:31:46.480 --> 00:31:47.059
 of us

00:31:47.059 --> 00:31:49.759
 and that's

00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:50.259
 the God

00:31:50.259 --> 00:31:50.759
 that's

00:31:50.759 --> 00:31:51.259
 knowable

00:31:51.259 --> 00:31:51.699
 today

00:31:51.699 --> 00:31:53.959
 a father

00:31:53.959 --> 00:31:54.819
 in God

00:31:54.819 --> 00:31:55.199
 who has

00:31:55.199 --> 00:31:56.319
 given all

00:31:56.319 --> 00:31:56.599
 of that

00:31:56.599 --> 00:31:57.179
 responsibility

00:31:57.179 --> 00:31:58.099
 and all

00:31:58.099 --> 00:31:58.379
 of that

00:31:58.379 --> 00:31:58.879
 authority

00:31:58.879 --> 00:31:59.500
 and all

00:31:59.500 --> 00:31:59.819
 of that

00:31:59.819 --> 00:32:00.259
 power

00:32:00.259 --> 00:32:01.059
 everything

00:32:01.059 --> 00:32:01.399
 that is

00:32:01.399 --> 00:32:01.960
 necessary

00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:02.359
 for the

00:32:02.359 --> 00:32:02.659
 salvation

00:32:02.659 --> 00:32:02.919
 of his

00:32:02.919 --> 00:32:03.179
 people

00:32:03.179 --> 00:32:04.159
 it rests

00:32:04.159 --> 00:32:04.919
 with

00:32:04.919 --> 00:32:05.599
 Jesus

00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:06.639
 today

00:32:06.639 --> 00:32:09.200
 and so

00:32:09.200 --> 00:32:09.619
 we come

00:32:09.619 --> 00:32:09.919
 to the

00:32:09.919 --> 00:32:10.279
 Lord's

00:32:10.279 --> 00:32:10.559
 Supper

00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:12.419
 to remember

00:32:12.419 --> 00:32:14.240
 what Jesus

00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:14.819
 has done

00:32:14.819 --> 00:32:26.159
 Paul says

00:32:26.159 --> 00:32:26.579
 in Romans

00:32:26.579 --> 00:32:26.879
 8

00:32:26.879 --> 00:32:28.460
 this is

00:32:28.460 --> 00:32:28.720
 how we

00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:28.879
 know

00:32:28.879 --> 00:32:29.259
 God

00:32:29.259 --> 00:32:29.539
 this is

00:32:29.539 --> 00:32:29.819
 what we

00:32:29.819 --> 00:32:30.000
 know

00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:30.419
 of God

00:32:30.420 --> 00:32:31.980
 he

00:32:31.980 --> 00:32:32.259
 he who

00:32:32.259 --> 00:32:32.759
 did not

00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:33.279
 spare

00:32:33.279 --> 00:32:33.580
 his

00:32:33.580 --> 00:32:33.800
 own

00:32:33.800 --> 00:32:34.160
 son

00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:35.500
 but

00:32:35.500 --> 00:32:35.800
 gave

00:32:35.800 --> 00:32:35.940
 him

00:32:35.940 --> 00:32:36.160
 up

00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:36.360
 for

00:32:36.360 --> 00:32:36.519
 us

00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:36.840
 all

00:32:36.840 --> 00:32:38.360
 how

00:32:38.360 --> 00:32:38.560
 will

00:32:38.560 --> 00:32:38.740
 he

00:32:38.740 --> 00:32:38.960
 not

00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:39.340
 also

00:32:39.340 --> 00:32:39.700
 with

00:32:39.700 --> 00:32:40.000
 him

00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:40.840
 graciously

00:32:40.840 --> 00:32:41.160
 give

00:32:41.160 --> 00:32:41.480
 us

00:32:41.480 --> 00:32:41.900
 all

00:32:41.900 --> 00:32:42.440
 things

00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:42.940
!

00:33:13.779 --> 00:33:13.960
 one

00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:14.120
 who

00:33:14.120 --> 00:33:14.500
 offers

 God

00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:22.039
 who

00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:22.180
 is

00:33:22.180 --> 00:33:22.360
 the
