00:33:59.579 --> 00:34:03.599
So<00:33:59.839><c> you</c><00:34:00.039><c> see</c><00:34:00.200><c> you</c><00:34:00.460><c> have</c><00:34:00.640><c> all</c><00:34:01.000><c> these</c><00:34:01.359><c> various</c><00:34:01.700><c> aspects</c><00:34:02.400><c> of</c><00:34:03.200><c> life</c>

00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:06.160
revealed<00:34:04.200><c> here</c><00:34:04.559><c> in</c><00:34:04.819><c> very</c><00:34:05.140><c> simple</c><00:34:05.559><c> form</c>

00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:13.260
that<00:34:06.900><c> describe</c><00:34:07.599><c> all</c><00:34:08.079><c> the</c><00:34:08.340><c> factors</c><00:34:08.639><c> involved</c><00:34:09.440><c> in</c><00:34:10.460><c> this</c><00:34:10.900><c> voluntary</c><00:34:12.019><c> relationship</c><00:34:13.019><c> with</c>

00:34:19.539 --> 00:34:25.099
Now<00:34:20.179><c> if</c><00:34:20.480><c> we</c><00:34:20.760><c> were</c><00:34:20.960><c> to</c><00:34:22.079><c> summarize</c><00:34:22.840><c> these</c><00:34:23.199><c> things,</c><00:34:24.639><c> I</c><00:34:24.699><c> think</c><00:34:24.920><c> we</c>

00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:38.440
Both<00:34:35.280><c> these</c><00:34:35.679><c> things</c><00:34:36.000><c> were</c><00:34:36.320><c> revealed</c><00:34:36.699><c> in</c><00:34:36.920><c> a</c><00:34:37.019><c> matter</c><00:34:37.199><c> of</c><00:34:37.400><c> a</c><00:34:37.539><c> week.</c>

00:34:38.679 --> 00:34:41.079
We<00:34:39.139><c> have</c><00:34:39.500><c> law</c><00:34:39.880><c> given.</c>

00:34:42.860 --> 00:34:46.559
It<00:34:43.780><c> involved</c><00:34:44.239><c> the</c><00:34:44.500><c> people</c><00:34:44.679><c> being</c><00:34:45.179><c> servants.</c>

00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:58.159
The<00:34:50.579><c> relationship</c><00:34:51.039><c> was</c><00:34:51.300><c> based</c><00:34:51.559><c> on</c><00:34:51.880><c> duty,</c><00:34:54.480><c> the</c><00:34:54.639><c> power</c><00:34:54.960><c> of</c><00:34:55.199><c> it,</c><00:34:57.320><c> fear.</c>

00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:02.619
It<00:35:00.519><c> could</c><00:35:00.760><c> bring</c><00:35:01.000><c> stability.</c>

00:35:06.460 --> 00:35:12.179
But<00:35:07.019><c> because</c><00:35:07.539><c> it</c><00:35:07.760><c> couldn't</c><00:35:08.099><c> be</c><00:35:08.420><c> kept,</c><00:35:11.320><c> every</c><00:35:11.480><c> single</c><00:35:11.840><c> one</c><00:35:11.980><c> of</c>

00:35:12.179 --> 00:35:13.840
them<00:35:12.179><c> had</c><00:35:12.380><c> to</c><00:35:12.539><c> break</c><00:35:12.699><c> in</c><00:35:12.900><c> some</c><00:35:13.119><c> way</c><00:35:13.280><c> or</c><00:35:13.420><c> other.</c>

00:35:14.300 --> 00:35:15.579
It's<00:35:14.539><c> angry</c><00:35:14.719><c> as</c><00:35:14.920><c> death.</c>

00:35:19.019 --> 00:35:23.320
And<00:35:19.380><c> right</c><00:35:19.559><c> alongside</c><00:35:19.940><c> of</c><00:35:20.219><c> it,</c><00:35:21.639><c> God</c><00:35:21.920><c> taught</c><00:35:22.440><c> a</c><00:35:22.699><c> relationship</c>

00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:25.639
based<00:35:23.820><c> on</c><00:35:24.099><c> grace.</c>

00:35:28.940 --> 00:35:41.980
The<00:35:30.179><c> relationship</c><00:35:30.880><c> was</c><00:35:31.420><c> sonship,</c><00:35:36.019><c> the</c><00:35:36.039><c> power</c><00:35:36.420><c> of</c><00:35:36.840><c> faith,</c><00:35:41.880><c> the</c>

00:35:41.980 --> 00:35:44.760

00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:57.119
the<00:35:47.480><c> results,</c><00:35:49.000><c> the</c><00:35:49.300><c> indwelling</c><00:35:49.659><c> of</c><00:35:50.039><c> God,</c><00:35:55.019><c> and</c><00:35:55.159><c> the</c><00:35:55.440><c> final</c><00:35:55.780><c> thought,</c><00:35:56.679><c> life</c><00:35:56.900><c> in</c>

00:35:59.280 --> 00:36:01.539
Because<00:35:59.360><c> that's</c><00:35:59.639><c> the</c><00:35:59.679><c> only</c><00:35:59.820><c> way</c><00:35:59.960><c> you</c><00:36:00.039><c> could</c><00:36:00.199><c> get</c><00:36:00.380><c> it.</c>

00:36:02.659 --> 00:36:09.260
Now<00:36:03.179><c> I</c><00:36:04.019><c> would</c><00:36:04.460><c> very</c><00:36:04.960><c> strongly</c><00:36:05.280><c> suggest</c><00:36:05.860><c> that</c><00:36:06.139><c> this</c><00:36:06.440><c> is</c><00:36:06.780><c> the</c><00:36:07.000><c> story</c><00:36:07.579><c> intended</c><00:36:08.400><c> in</c>

00:36:14.679 --> 00:36:20.300

I<00:43:44.320><c> would</c><00:43:44.699><c> suggest</c><00:43:45.019><c> that</c><00:43:45.340><c> Jeremiah</c><00:43:45.739><c> illustrates</c><00:43:46.400><c> this</c><00:43:46.739><c> very</c>

00:43:48.940 --> 00:43:52.780
That<00:43:49.159><c> Jeremiah</c><00:43:49.539><c> was</c><00:43:49.860><c> sent</c><00:43:50.019><c> to</c><00:43:50.280><c> the</c><00:43:50.400><c> precincts</c><00:43:50.980><c> of</c><00:43:50.980><c> the</c><00:43:51.159><c> temple,</c><00:43:52.360><c> and</c><00:43:52.440><c> there</c><00:43:52.579><c> in</c>

00:43:54.420 --> 00:43:57.260
we<00:43:54.559><c> read</c><00:43:54.719><c> in</c><00:43:54.880><c> verse</c><00:43:55.059><c> 2</c><00:43:55.619><c> that</c><00:43:55.960><c> the</c><00:43:56.219><c> people</c><00:43:56.440><c> were</c><00:43:56.780><c> entering</c><00:43:57.000><c> in</c>

00:43:57.260 --> 00:43:59.179

00:43:59.619 --> 00:44:01.340
They<00:43:59.840><c> were</c><00:44:00.159><c> a</c><00:44:00.300><c> religious</c><00:44:00.659><c> people.</c>

00:44:01.340 --> 00:44:04.480
They<00:44:01.639><c> were</c><00:44:01.820><c> going</c><00:44:02.099><c> there</c><00:44:02.340><c> to</c><00:44:02.440><c> offer</c><00:44:02.579><c> sacrifice</c><00:44:03.440><c> and</c><00:44:03.880><c> to</c><00:44:04.019><c> worship</c><00:44:04.260><c> the</c>

00:44:05.760 --> 00:44:08.380
And<00:44:05.820><c> yet</c><00:44:06.039><c> Jeremiah</c><00:44:06.480><c> tells</c><00:44:06.840><c> us</c><00:44:07.099><c> in</c><00:44:07.159><c> verse</c><00:44:07.460><c> 21,</c>

00:44:08.400 --> 00:44:10.639
Thus<00:44:08.579><c> saith</c><00:44:08.900><c> the</c><00:44:09.059><c> Lord</c><00:44:09.239><c> and</c><00:44:09.400><c> posteth</c><00:44:09.659><c> the</c><00:44:09.760><c> God</c><00:44:10.019><c> Israel,</c>

00:44:11.039 --> 00:44:14.000
Put<00:44:11.179><c> your</c><00:44:11.519><c> burnt</c><00:44:11.760><c> offerings</c><00:44:12.119><c> under</c><00:44:12.440><c> your</c><00:44:12.760><c> sacrifices,</c><00:44:13.800><c> and</c>

00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:15.219
eat<00:44:14.340><c> flesh.</c>

00:44:15.260 --> 00:44:16.760
There<00:44:15.500><c> are</c><00:44:15.519><c> a</c><00:44:15.519><c> lot</c><00:44:15.699><c> of</c><00:44:15.920><c> translates</c><00:44:16.300><c> there.</c>

00:44:17.039 --> 00:44:20.619
You<00:44:17.159><c> can</c><00:44:17.519><c> add</c><00:44:17.739><c> your</c><00:44:17.940><c> burnt</c><00:44:18.219><c> offerings</c><00:44:18.619><c> to</c><00:44:18.860><c> your</c><00:44:19.099><c> other</c><00:44:19.340><c> sacrifices,</c><00:44:20.440><c> and</c>

00:44:20.619 --> 00:44:21.980
eat<00:44:20.840><c> the</c><00:44:21.059><c> flesh</c><00:44:21.260><c> yourselves.</c>

00:44:22.380 --> 00:44:26.659
In<00:44:22.699><c> other</c><00:44:22.920><c> words,</c><00:44:23.260><c> keep</c><00:44:23.500><c> your</c><00:44:23.820><c> sacrifices</c><00:44:24.519><c> absolutely</c><00:44:26.000><c> useless,</c>

00:44:26.659 --> 00:44:29.699
because<00:44:27.239><c> their</c><00:44:27.599><c> hearts</c><00:44:27.780><c> and</c><00:44:27.980><c> their</c><00:44:28.239><c> minds</c><00:44:28.480><c> were</c><00:44:28.679><c> not</c><00:44:28.880><c> dedicated</c><00:44:29.340><c> to</c><00:44:29.539><c> the</c>

00:44:29.699 --> 00:44:31.579
one<00:44:29.840><c> whom</c><00:44:29.940><c> they</c><00:44:30.119><c> claim</c><00:44:30.400><c> to</c><00:44:30.599><c> worship.</c>

00:44:31.599 --> 00:44:35.760
So<00:44:31.679><c> the</c><00:44:31.860><c> Origen</c><00:44:32.079><c> was</c><00:44:32.360><c> one</c><00:44:32.480><c> of</c><00:44:32.699><c> after</c><00:44:32.900><c> rituals,</c><00:44:33.820><c> and</c><00:44:34.179><c> it</c><00:44:34.460><c> was</c><00:44:34.780><c> completely</c><00:44:35.199><c> appointed</c><00:44:35.539><c> in</c>

00:44:35.760 --> 00:44:36.079
the<00:44:35.940><c> eyes</c><00:44:36.079><c> of</c><00:44:36.079><c> God.</c>

00:44:36.099 --> 00:44:39.300
That's<00:44:36.400><c> right.</c><00:44:37.019><c> It</c><00:44:37.199><c> was</c><00:44:37.480><c> worse</c><00:44:37.760><c> than</c><00:44:38.000><c> a</c><00:44:38.139><c> no</c><00:44:38.360><c> value.</c><00:44:38.880><c> It</c><00:44:38.960><c> was</c><00:44:39.159><c> a</c>

00:44:39.300 --> 00:44:39.940
pardon<00:44:39.480><c> to</c><00:44:39.760><c> God.</c>

00:44:40.280 --> 00:44:42.980
Well,<00:44:40.519><c> this</c><00:44:40.659><c> in</c><00:44:40.820><c> the</c><00:44:40.920><c> days</c><00:44:41.059><c> there,</c><00:44:41.579><c> Jeremiah</c><00:44:42.000><c> would</c><00:44:42.519><c> be</c><00:44:42.820><c> true</c>

00:44:42.980 --> 00:44:46.219
speaking<00:44:43.440><c> more</c><00:44:43.760><c> on</c><00:44:43.920><c> the</c><00:44:44.039><c> days</c><00:44:44.219><c> of</c><00:44:44.500><c> Moses</c><00:44:44.860><c> when</c><00:44:45.079><c> it</c><00:44:45.239><c> was</c><00:44:45.480><c> instituted.</c>

00:44:46.820 --> 00:44:51.599
Does<00:44:47.039><c> that</c><00:44:47.440><c> mean</c><00:44:47.739><c> if</c><00:44:48.059><c> they</c><00:44:48.599><c> are</c><00:44:48.900><c> not</c><00:44:49.260><c> aware</c><00:44:49.780><c> of</c><00:44:50.760><c> the</c><00:44:51.219><c> sacrifice</c>

00:44:51.599 --> 00:44:53.719
that<00:44:51.820><c> was</c><00:44:51.960><c> made</c><00:44:52.179><c> and</c><00:44:52.500><c> all</c><00:44:52.719><c> their</c><00:44:53.019><c> implications,</c>

00:44:53.719 --> 00:44:56.960
would<00:44:54.019><c> this</c><00:44:54.300><c> mean</c><00:44:54.599><c> that</c><00:44:54.900><c> they</c><00:44:55.059><c> are</c><00:44:55.260><c> of</c><00:44:55.400><c> none</c><00:44:55.619><c> effect</c><00:44:55.940><c> and</c><00:44:56.199><c> consequently</c><00:44:56.699><c> the</c>

00:44:56.960 --> 00:44:58.559
Jew<00:44:57.079><c> was</c><00:44:57.360><c> lost,</c>

00:44:58.599 --> 00:45:00.760
the<00:44:58.619><c> majority</c><00:44:59.019><c> of</c><00:44:59.219><c> the</c><00:44:59.320><c> Jew</c><00:44:59.400><c> at</c><00:44:59.599><c> that</c><00:44:59.820><c> time?</c>

00:45:01.900 --> 00:45:03.599
That's<00:45:02.159><c> a</c><00:45:02.260><c> hard</c><00:45:02.420><c> question</c><00:45:02.780><c> to</c><00:45:02.980><c> answer,</c><00:45:03.579><c> isn't</c><00:45:03.599><c> it?</c>

00:45:03.599 --> 00:45:06.760
I<00:45:03.739><c> don't</c><00:45:04.000><c> mean</c><00:45:04.179><c> to</c><00:45:04.380><c> be</c><00:45:04.880><c> putting</c><00:45:05.079><c> you</c><00:45:05.320><c> in</c><00:45:05.320><c> a</c><00:45:05.320><c> position</c><00:45:05.699><c> of</c><00:45:06.000><c> judging,</c><00:45:06.440><c> but</c>

00:45:06.760 --> 00:45:08.920
rather<00:45:07.280><c> just</c><00:45:08.400><c> how</c><00:45:08.500><c> you</c><00:45:08.679><c> feel.</c>

00:45:08.940 --> 00:45:13.500
If<00:45:09.079><c> they</c><00:45:09.579><c> did</c><00:45:09.940><c> not</c><00:45:10.219><c> realize</c><00:45:10.820><c> the</c><00:45:11.199><c> implications</c><00:45:11.780><c> of</c><00:45:12.079><c> the</c><00:45:12.219><c> sacrifice,</c>

00:45:14.019 --> 00:45:20.480
then<00:45:14.460><c> their</c><00:45:14.739><c> sins</c><00:45:14.980><c> were</c><00:45:15.699><c> certainly</c><00:45:16.199><c> not</c><00:45:16.800><c> forgiven</c><00:45:17.219><c> even</c><00:45:18.179><c> based</c><00:45:18.840><c> on</c>

00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:22.800
the<00:45:20.860><c> eventual</c><00:45:21.480><c> sacrifice</c><00:45:22.139><c> of</c><00:45:22.360><c> Christ.</c>

00:45:22.800 --> 00:45:26.059
No,<00:45:23.800><c> they</c><00:45:24.000><c> wouldn't.</c><00:45:24.480><c> But</c><00:45:24.539><c> of</c><00:45:24.739><c> course,</c><00:45:25.059><c> remember</c><00:45:25.440><c> even</c><00:45:25.760><c> back</c>

00:45:26.059 --> 00:45:27.460
in<00:45:26.260><c> this</c><00:45:26.480><c> time,</c>

00:45:28.420 --> 00:45:32.159

00:45:35.940 --> 00:45:40.400
that<00:45:36.039><c> was</c><00:45:38.019><c> essential</c><00:45:38.820><c> to</c><00:45:39.159><c> life</c><00:45:39.440><c> in</c><00:45:39.659><c> its</c><00:45:39.840><c> fullest</c><00:45:40.099><c> sense.</c>

00:45:40.420 --> 00:45:44.239
This<00:45:40.579><c> was</c><00:45:40.820><c> faith.</c><00:45:42.079><c> And</c><00:45:42.239><c> if</c><00:45:42.340><c> they</c><00:45:42.500><c> didn't</c><00:45:42.699><c> offer</c><00:45:42.960><c> in</c><00:45:43.219><c> faith,</c><00:45:43.920><c> it</c>

00:45:44.239 --> 00:45:47.619

00:45:54.380 --> 00:45:59.480
So<00:45:54.739><c> this</c><00:45:55.199><c> is</c><00:45:55.380><c> the</c><00:45:55.500><c> point</c><00:45:55.619><c> to</c><00:45:55.840><c> remember.</c><00:45:56.440><c> This</c><00:45:56.699><c> question</c><00:45:57.079><c> of</c><00:45:57.360><c> faith</c><00:45:57.659><c> that</c><00:45:57.840><c> Paul</c><00:45:58.079><c> dealt</c><00:45:58.360><c> with</c><00:45:58.860><c> takes</c><00:45:59.320><c> us</c>
