00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:14.780
This<00:02:07.400><c> was</c><00:02:07.659><c> a</c><00:02:08.599><c> way</c><00:02:08.860><c> of</c><00:02:09.180><c> defining</c><00:02:09.680><c> that</c><00:02:10.479><c> would</c><00:02:10.680><c> have</c><00:02:10.780><c> been</c><00:02:10.960><c> totally</c><00:02:11.439><c> foreign</c><00:02:11.860><c> to</c><00:02:13.319><c> the</c><00:02:13.780><c> Jewish</c><00:02:14.280><c> mind</c><00:02:14.580><c> at</c>

00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:37.699
That<00:03:33.879><c> he</c><00:03:34.080><c> said</c><00:03:34.120><c> would</c><00:03:34.280><c> not</c><00:03:34.439><c> be</c><00:03:34.620><c> walking</c><00:03:34.860><c> in</c><00:03:35.120><c> love.</c><00:03:36.219><c> So</c><00:03:36.719><c> there</c>

00:03:37.699 --> 00:03:42.659

00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:50.159
It<00:03:49.060><c> was</c><00:03:49.319><c> something</c><00:03:49.759><c> different.</c>

00:03:50.219 --> 00:03:53.039
And<00:03:50.360><c> this</c><00:03:50.620><c> course</c><00:03:51.039><c> caused</c><00:03:51.659><c> a</c><00:03:51.879><c> great</c><00:03:52.060><c> deal</c><00:03:52.240><c> of</c><00:03:52.520><c> consternation,</c>

00:03:56.379 --> 00:04:01.840
So<00:03:56.460><c> how</c><00:03:56.800><c> can</c><00:03:57.080><c> something</c><00:03:57.400><c> be</c><00:03:58.599><c> okay</c><00:03:59.120><c> for</c><00:03:59.439><c> somebody,</c><00:04:00.020><c> but</c><00:04:00.139><c> not</c><00:04:00.360><c> okay</c><00:04:00.620><c> for</c><00:04:00.879><c> somebody</c><00:04:01.139><c> else,</c><00:04:01.740><c> or</c>

00:04:05.539 --> 00:04:07.300
Those<00:04:05.780><c> are</c><00:04:05.919><c> some</c><00:04:06.060><c> of</c><00:04:06.159><c> the</c><00:04:06.259><c> issues</c><00:04:06.400><c> we</c><00:04:06.539><c> want</c><00:04:06.639><c> to</c><00:04:06.780><c> look</c><00:04:06.919><c> at</c><00:04:07.039><c> this</c>

00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:16.560
Now<00:04:12.319><c> just</c><00:04:13.439><c> briefly</c><00:04:14.599><c> summarizing</c><00:04:15.560><c> some</c><00:04:15.819><c> of</c><00:04:15.939><c> the</c><00:04:16.060><c> key</c><00:04:16.300><c> issues</c>

from<00:04:16.759><c> yesterday,</c>

00:04:18.100 --> 00:04:26.540
remember<00:04:18.459><c> that</c><00:04:19.300><c> the</c><00:04:21.839><c> Old</c><00:04:22.079><c> Covenant</c><00:04:22.839><c> was</c><00:04:24.139><c> based</c><00:04:24.720><c> on</c><00:04:24.980><c> these</c><00:04:25.279><c> two</c><00:04:26.079><c> concepts.</c>

00:04:26.699 --> 00:04:33.120
This<00:04:26.879><c> is</c><00:04:27.199><c> the</c><00:04:30.199><c> distillation,</c><00:04:31.220><c> the</c><00:04:31.399><c> essence</c><00:04:31.819><c> of</c><00:04:32.019><c> the</c><00:04:32.180><c> Old</c><00:04:32.360><c> Covenant</c><00:04:32.660><c> was</c>

00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:42.100
The<00:04:36.240><c> rules</c><00:04:36.620><c> were</c><00:04:36.959><c> of</c><00:04:37.120><c> course</c><00:04:37.439><c> to</c><00:04:38.480><c> make</c><00:04:39.160><c> a</c><00:04:40.680><c> guideline,</c><00:04:41.300><c> not</c><00:04:41.439><c> a</c><00:04:41.579><c> guideline,</c><00:04:41.860><c> a</c>

00:04:45.899 --> 00:04:48.339
That<00:04:46.100><c> is,</c><00:04:46.420><c> this</c><00:04:46.579><c> is</c><00:04:46.759><c> unclean,</c><00:04:47.220><c> the</c><00:04:47.339><c> rule</c><00:04:47.519><c> is</c><00:04:47.759><c> therefore</c><00:04:48.100><c> don't</c>

00:04:48.339 --> 00:04:50.300
touch<00:04:48.600><c> it,</c><00:04:48.759><c> don't</c><00:04:48.980><c> eat</c><00:04:49.079><c> it.</c>

00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:58.139
And<00:04:50.779><c> the</c><00:04:51.040><c> rituals</c><00:04:51.420><c> were</c><00:04:51.699><c> to</c><00:04:51.920><c> give</c><00:04:52.040><c> you</c><00:04:52.259><c> some</c><00:04:53.139><c> sort</c><00:04:53.759><c> of</c><00:04:54.860><c> activity</c><00:04:55.639><c> you</c><00:04:55.920><c> could</c><00:04:56.180><c> do,</c>

certain<00:05:08.639><c> way,</c>

00:05:09.259 --> 00:05:13.120
or<00:05:09.439><c> you</c><00:05:09.639><c> offer</c><00:05:09.920><c> a</c><00:05:10.120><c> sacrifice,</c><00:05:10.920><c> if</c><00:05:11.120><c> you</c><00:05:11.360><c> did</c><00:05:11.500><c> the</c><00:05:11.699><c> ritual,</c><00:05:12.779><c> then</c>

00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:15.920

00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:21.339

00:06:16.459 --> 00:06:18.600

to<00:06:34.060><c> make</c><00:06:34.139><c> us</c><00:06:34.379><c> good.</c>

00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:39.040
The<00:06:34.860><c> only</c><00:06:34.959><c> thing</c><00:06:35.139><c> that</c><00:06:35.259><c> will</c><00:06:35.339><c> make</c><00:06:35.439><c> us</c><00:06:35.680><c> good</c><00:06:35.800><c> is</c><00:06:36.620><c> the</c><00:06:36.980><c> sacrifice</c><00:06:37.540><c> of</c><00:06:37.740><c> Jesus</c><00:06:38.079><c> Christ.</c>

00:06:43.540 --> 00:06:46.279
We<00:06:43.740><c> have</c><00:06:43.899><c> the</c><00:06:44.079><c> baptism</c><00:06:44.480><c> and</c><00:06:45.220><c> the</c><00:06:45.379><c> breaking</c><00:06:45.579><c> of</c><00:06:45.720><c> bread</c><00:06:45.860><c> service.</c>

00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:50.139
And<00:06:46.759><c> both</c><00:06:47.000><c> of</c><00:06:47.199><c> those,</c><00:06:47.920><c> as</c><00:06:48.240><c> we</c><00:06:48.540><c> say</c><00:06:48.800><c> many</c><00:06:49.120><c> times,</c><00:06:49.519><c> it's</c><00:06:49.680><c> not</c><00:06:49.879><c> the</c>

00:06:50.139 --> 00:06:50.819
activity<00:06:50.420><c> itself,</c>

00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:54.100
but<00:06:51.079><c> it's</c><00:06:51.360><c> the</c><00:06:51.600><c> intent</c><00:06:51.959><c> and</c><00:06:52.180><c> it's</c><00:06:52.420><c> the</c><00:06:52.819><c> frame</c><00:06:53.040><c> of</c><00:06:53.339><c> mind</c><00:06:53.660><c> that</c>

00:06:54.100 --> 00:06:56.459
goes<00:06:54.279><c> with</c><00:06:54.540><c> the</c><00:06:54.819><c> activity</c><00:06:55.180><c> that</c><00:06:55.699><c> makes</c><00:06:55.899><c> it</c><00:06:56.180><c> valid.</c>

00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:59.860
So<00:06:56.860><c> again,</c><00:06:57.100><c> it's</c><00:06:57.160><c> not,</c><00:06:57.660><c> if</c><00:06:57.759><c> Peter</c><00:06:57.939><c> says</c><00:06:58.220><c> this,</c><00:06:58.439><c> 1</c><00:06:58.560><c> Peter</c><00:06:58.759><c> 3,</c><00:06:59.040><c> you</c><00:06:59.220><c> know,</c><00:06:59.240><c> it's</c><00:06:59.360><c> not</c><00:06:59.500><c> just</c><00:06:59.720><c> a</c>

00:06:59.860 --> 00:07:00.519

00:07:00.540 --> 00:07:02.040
He's<00:07:00.759><c> talking</c><00:07:00.899><c> about</c><00:07:01.139><c> baptism.</c>

00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:04.720
This<00:07:02.879><c> is</c><00:07:03.040><c> an</c><00:07:03.180><c> identification</c><00:07:03.759><c> with</c><00:07:04.000><c> the</c><00:07:04.120><c> death</c><00:07:04.240><c> of</c><00:07:04.459><c> Christ.</c>

00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:06.339
That's<00:07:05.000><c> what</c><00:07:05.060><c> it</c><00:07:05.279><c> really</c><00:07:05.459><c> means.</c>

00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:11.620
So<00:07:07.160><c> in</c><00:07:07.300><c> God's</c><00:07:07.620><c> wisdom,</c><00:07:07.920><c> he</c><00:07:08.079><c> has</c><00:07:08.959><c> taken</c><00:07:09.480><c> all</c><00:07:10.360><c> the</c><00:07:10.680><c> ritual</c><00:07:11.120><c> away</c>

00:07:11.620 --> 00:07:13.839
because<00:07:12.000><c> he</c><00:07:12.259><c> knows</c><00:07:12.600><c> what</c><00:07:12.980><c> we</c><00:07:13.199><c> would</c><00:07:13.339><c> do</c><00:07:13.459><c> with</c><00:07:13.620><c> it.</c>

00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:17.180
And<00:07:14.220><c> we</c><00:07:14.319><c> just</c><00:07:14.560><c> have</c><00:07:14.639><c> these</c><00:07:14.899><c> two</c><00:07:15.319><c> symbolic</c><00:07:15.800><c> events,</c><00:07:16.379><c> the</c><00:07:16.420><c> one</c>

00:07:22.779 --> 00:07:25.100
And<00:07:22.879><c> if</c><00:07:22.959><c> we</c><00:07:23.139><c> don't</c><00:07:23.300><c> remember</c><00:07:23.660><c> Jesus'</c><00:07:24.139><c> sacrifice,</c><00:07:24.740><c> then</c><00:07:24.839><c> just</c>

any<00:07:27.240><c> good.</c>

00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:28.860
We<00:07:27.459><c> don't</c><00:07:27.660><c> become</c><00:07:27.899><c> holy</c><00:07:28.139><c> by</c><00:07:28.420><c> taking</c><00:07:28.620><c> it.</c>

00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:32.019
We<00:07:29.199><c> do</c><00:07:29.360><c> become</c><00:07:29.579><c> holy</c><00:07:29.819><c> by</c><00:07:30.100><c> thinking</c><00:07:30.360><c> about</c><00:07:30.660><c> what</c><00:07:30.879><c> it</c><00:07:31.079><c> represents.</c>

00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:36.600
We<00:07:33.379><c> closed</c><00:07:33.600><c> out</c><00:07:33.759><c> yesterday</c><00:07:34.120><c> by</c><00:07:34.420><c> noting</c><00:07:34.720><c> that</c><00:07:35.540><c> as</c><00:07:36.040><c> opposed</c><00:07:36.379><c> to</c>

those<00:07:36.879><c> ideas,</c><00:07:37.839><c> that</c><00:07:38.100><c> the</c><00:07:38.240><c> New</c><00:07:38.420><c> Covenant</c><00:07:38.759><c> is</c><00:07:39.240><c> based</c><00:07:39.480><c> on</c><00:07:39.660><c> these</c><00:07:39.839><c> principles</c>

00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:45.560
and<00:07:41.600><c> these</c><00:07:41.839><c> five</c><00:07:42.579><c> key</c><00:07:42.959><c> words,</c><00:07:43.500><c> love,</c><00:07:44.019><c> mercy,</c><00:07:44.540><c> grace,</c><00:07:45.300><c> faith,</c>

00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:46.779
and<00:07:45.939><c> hope.</c>

00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:51.720
We<00:07:48.019><c> have</c><00:07:48.220><c> faith</c><00:07:48.459><c> in</c><00:07:48.660><c> God</c><00:07:49.339><c> because</c><00:07:50.920><c> of</c><00:07:51.120><c> our</c><00:07:51.319><c> faith.</c>

00:07:52.220 --> 00:07:54.860
God<00:07:52.500><c> extends</c><00:07:53.000><c> mercy</c><00:07:53.740><c> and</c><00:07:54.459><c> grace.</c>

00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:57.420
Therefore,<00:07:55.399><c> we</c><00:07:55.620><c> act</c><00:07:55.800><c> in</c><00:07:55.959><c> love</c><00:07:56.300><c> and</c><00:07:56.560><c> therefore</c><00:07:56.819><c> we</c><00:07:56.980><c> have</c><00:07:57.139><c> hope.</c>

00:07:57.819 --> 00:08:00.040
You<00:07:58.000><c> can</c><00:07:58.240><c> arrange</c><00:07:58.519><c> these</c><00:07:58.800><c> different</c><00:07:59.079><c> ways,</c><00:07:59.439><c> but</c><00:07:59.620><c> those</c><00:07:59.899><c> are</c>

00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:02.639

00:08:02.779 --> 00:08:05.199
And<00:08:02.899><c> none</c><00:08:03.019><c> of</c><00:08:03.180><c> these</c><00:08:03.360><c> would</c><00:08:03.560><c> make,</c><00:08:04.120><c> say,</c><00:08:04.639><c> any</c><00:08:04.800><c> difference</c><00:08:05.060><c> in</c>

00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:07.839
because<00:08:06.000><c> they</c><00:08:06.180><c> don't</c><00:08:06.360><c> have</c><00:08:06.560><c> to</c><00:08:06.699><c> do</c><00:08:06.800><c> with</c><00:08:07.040><c> following</c><00:08:07.319><c> rules.</c>

00:08:10.540 --> 00:08:14.800
We<00:08:10.579><c> look</c><00:08:11.300><c> now</c><00:08:12.079><c> very</c><00:08:12.939><c> closely</c><00:08:13.339><c> at</c><00:08:13.560><c> some</c><00:08:13.759><c> of</c><00:08:13.879><c> these</c><00:08:14.079><c> differences</c>

00:08:24.779 --> 00:08:26.680
I'm<00:08:25.060><c> going</c><00:08:25.079><c> to</c><00:08:25.139><c> go</c><00:08:25.339><c> through</c><00:08:25.480><c> these,</c><00:08:25.759><c> and</c><00:08:25.839><c> some</c><00:08:26.040><c> of</c><00:08:26.120><c> these</c><00:08:26.300><c> words</c><00:08:26.519><c> are</c>

00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.680
So<00:08:28.240><c> you</c><00:08:28.319><c> get</c><00:08:28.319><c> a</c><00:08:28.399><c> little</c><00:08:28.500><c> bit</c><00:08:28.600><c> of</c><00:08:29.240><c> a</c><00:08:29.319><c> vocabulary</c><00:08:29.879><c> lesson</c><00:08:30.199><c> today,</c><00:08:30.579><c> too.</c>

You<00:08:30.800><c> always</c><00:08:30.939><c> like</c><00:08:31.120><c> learning</c><00:08:31.339><c> new</c><00:08:31.579><c> words,</c><00:08:31.899><c> don't</c><00:08:32.019><c> you?</c>

00:08:32.820 --> 00:08:35.679
Well,<00:08:34.419><c> I've</c><00:08:34.799><c> got</c><00:08:34.879><c> two</c><00:08:35.080><c> columns</c><00:08:35.399><c> here.</c>

One<00:08:35.940><c> says</c><00:08:36.179><c> legalism,</c><00:08:36.720><c> one</c><00:08:36.899><c> says</c><00:08:37.179><c> faith.</c>

00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:42.460
And<00:08:39.179><c> if</c><00:08:39.279><c> they're</c><00:08:39.460><c> in</c><00:08:39.620><c> focus,</c><00:08:40.100><c> that</c><00:08:40.299><c> will</c><00:08:40.860><c> be</c><00:08:41.120><c> even</c><00:08:41.379><c> better.</c>

00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:52.320
Let<00:08:49.879><c> me</c><00:08:50.320><c> just</c><00:08:50.580><c> go</c><00:08:50.720><c> through</c><00:08:50.879><c> a</c><00:08:51.039><c> series</c><00:08:51.240><c> of</c><00:08:51.620><c> contrasts</c><00:08:52.159><c> here.</c>

00:08:52.379 --> 00:08:54.440
You<00:08:52.480><c> remember</c><00:08:52.700><c> the</c><00:08:52.899><c> title</c><00:08:53.100><c> of</c><00:08:53.299><c> the</c><00:08:53.320><c> talk</c><00:08:53.399><c> is</c><00:08:53.580><c> called</c><00:08:53.879><c> Contrast</c>

and<00:08:54.639><c> Paradoxes.</c>

00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:58.200
We're<00:08:55.860><c> going</c><00:08:55.899><c> to</c><00:08:55.940><c> take</c><00:08:56.100><c> these</c><00:08:56.320><c> general</c><00:08:56.659><c> principles</c><00:08:57.220><c> and</c><00:08:57.759><c> break</c><00:08:57.980><c> it</c>

00:08:58.200 --> 00:08:59.159
down<00:08:58.379><c> into</c><00:08:58.539><c> smaller</c><00:08:58.919><c> things</c>

00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:04.360
so<00:08:59.360><c> we</c><00:08:59.500><c> will</c><00:08:59.820><c> have</c><00:09:00.059><c> a</c><00:09:00.220><c> way</c><00:09:00.659><c> to</c><00:09:01.580><c> contrast</c><00:09:02.379><c> the</c><00:09:02.779><c> mind</c><00:09:03.120><c> of</c><00:09:03.960><c> faith</c>

00:09:07.139 --> 00:09:08.240
So<00:09:07.299><c> you'll</c><00:09:07.559><c> know</c><00:09:07.679><c> in</c><00:09:07.840><c> your</c><00:09:08.059><c> head.</c>

00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:11.440
You'll<00:09:08.419><c> say,</c><00:09:09.100><c> well,</c><00:09:09.179><c> how</c><00:09:09.379><c> do</c><00:09:09.519><c> I</c><00:09:09.639><c> know</c><00:09:09.840><c> if</c><00:09:10.059><c> I'm</c><00:09:10.759><c> operating</c><00:09:11.220><c> out</c>

Well,<00:09:12.919><c> this</c><00:09:13.639><c> might</c><00:09:13.919><c> help</c><00:09:14.139><c> you.</c>

00:09:16.419 --> 00:09:22.919
The<00:09:16.860><c> first</c><00:09:17.200><c> thing</c><00:09:17.399><c> we</c><00:09:17.620><c> note</c><00:09:18.080><c> is</c><00:09:19.840><c> that</c><00:09:21.559><c> faith</c><00:09:22.019><c> operates</c><00:09:22.519><c> on</c><00:09:22.740><c> a</c>

00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:26.299
What<00:09:25.120><c> does</c><00:09:25.259><c> that</c><00:09:25.480><c> mean?</c>

00:09:26.539 --> 00:09:28.919
Concrete<00:09:26.980><c> simply</c><00:09:27.259><c> means</c><00:09:27.600><c> it</c><00:09:27.799><c> has</c><00:09:28.019><c> to</c><00:09:28.120><c> do</c><00:09:28.220><c> with</c><00:09:28.340><c> things</c><00:09:28.620><c> that</c>

00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:33.039
We<00:09:31.860><c> can</c><00:09:32.059><c> touch</c><00:09:32.279><c> them.</c>

00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:34.679
This<00:09:33.639><c> is</c><00:09:33.860><c> a</c><00:09:33.940><c> concrete</c><00:09:34.320><c> object.</c>

00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:35.740
I<00:09:34.940><c> know</c><00:09:35.059><c> it's</c><00:09:35.220><c> made</c><00:09:35.299><c> out</c><00:09:35.460><c> of</c><00:09:35.620><c> wood.</c>

00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:41.139
But<00:09:36.120><c> in</c><00:09:36.320><c> this</c><00:09:36.500><c> sense,</c><00:09:36.840><c> concrete,</c><00:09:38.960><c> there,</c><00:09:39.639><c> I</c><00:09:40.379><c> can</c><00:09:40.720><c> see</c><00:09:40.960><c> it.</c>

00:09:41.139 --> 00:09:42.299
I<00:09:41.240><c> can</c><00:09:41.519><c> feel</c><00:09:41.740><c> it.</c>

00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:45.240
I<00:09:42.840><c> don't</c><00:09:43.039><c> care</c><00:09:43.179><c> to</c><00:09:43.399><c> taste</c><00:09:43.620><c> this,</c><00:09:43.879><c> but</c><00:09:44.019><c> I</c><00:09:44.220><c> could.</c>

00:09:46.659 --> 00:09:51.860
Whereas<00:09:47.100><c> those</c><00:09:47.539><c> words</c><00:09:47.720><c> I</c><00:09:47.980><c> just</c><00:09:48.240><c> had</c><00:09:48.379><c> up</c><00:09:48.639><c> there</c><00:09:49.480><c> are</c><00:09:51.399><c> what</c><00:09:51.659><c> we</c>

00:09:51.860 --> 00:09:54.360
call<00:09:52.080><c> abstract</c><00:09:53.120><c> nouns.</c>

00:09:54.659 --> 00:09:58.480
What<00:09:55.100><c> is</c><00:09:55.340><c> a</c><00:09:55.559><c> love,</c><00:09:56.840><c> a</c><00:09:57.059><c> mercy,</c><00:09:57.600><c> a</c><00:09:57.779><c> grace,</c><00:09:58.159><c> a</c><00:09:58.299><c> faith?</c>

00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:00.639
You<00:09:58.740><c> can't</c><00:09:59.080><c> put</c><00:09:59.220><c> it</c><00:09:59.340><c> in</c><00:09:59.480><c> a</c><00:09:59.580><c> bread</c><00:09:59.740><c> box.</c>

00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:02.519
You<00:10:01.879><c> can't</c><00:10:02.220><c> see</c><00:10:02.320><c> it.</c>

00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:03.080
You<00:10:02.580><c> can't</c><00:10:02.820><c> feel</c><00:10:02.960><c> it.</c>

00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:03.879
You<00:10:03.100><c> can't</c><00:10:03.360><c> taste</c><00:10:03.539><c> it.</c>

00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:08.259
These<00:10:04.320><c> are</c><00:10:04.500><c> very</c><00:10:05.120><c> powerful</c><00:10:05.700><c> words,</c><00:10:06.019><c> but</c><00:10:06.179><c> they</c><00:10:06.399><c> have</c><00:10:06.620><c> no</c><00:10:07.279><c> physical</c><00:10:07.779><c> form.</c>

00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:12.360
They're<00:10:08.799><c> what</c><00:10:08.919><c> we</c><00:10:09.139><c> call</c><00:10:09.299><c> abstract</c><00:10:10.080><c> nouns,</c><00:10:10.820><c> abstract</c><00:10:11.240><c> concepts.</c>

00:10:13.580 --> 00:10:17.120
They're<00:10:14.019><c> ideas</c><00:10:14.460><c> rather</c><00:10:16.159><c> than</c><00:10:16.659><c> things.</c>

00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:20.799
So<00:10:17.360><c> we</c><00:10:17.440><c> might</c><00:10:17.620><c> say</c><00:10:18.259><c> that</c><00:10:18.659><c> the</c><00:10:18.960><c> legal</c><00:10:19.220><c> mind</c><00:10:19.500><c> was</c><00:10:19.740><c> focused</c><00:10:20.159><c> on</c>

00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:22.120
the<00:10:21.220><c> things.</c>

00:10:22.299 --> 00:10:25.200
The<00:10:22.779><c> actual</c><00:10:23.159><c> cloth</c><00:10:23.580><c> of</c><00:10:23.779><c> your</c><00:10:24.039><c> clothes</c><00:10:24.320><c> made</c><00:10:24.600><c> a</c><00:10:24.840><c> difference.</c>

00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:28.240
The<00:10:25.940><c> actual</c><00:10:26.240><c> food</c><00:10:26.460><c> on</c><00:10:26.659><c> your</c><00:10:26.879><c> plate</c><00:10:27.059><c> made</c><00:10:27.320><c> a</c><00:10:27.539><c> difference</c><00:10:27.720><c> rather</c><00:10:28.039><c> than</c>

00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:31.240
the<00:10:28.480><c> attitude</c><00:10:28.960><c> that</c><00:10:29.519><c> you</c><00:10:29.740><c> had</c><00:10:29.919><c> when</c><00:10:30.120><c> you</c><00:10:30.299><c> wore</c><00:10:30.440><c> them.</c>

00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:36.620
So<00:10:31.720><c> that</c><00:10:31.820><c> was</c><00:10:31.960><c> one</c><00:10:32.139><c> of</c><00:10:32.259><c> our</c><00:10:33.320><c> first</c><00:10:33.320><c> significant</c><00:10:34.700><c> differences</c>

00:10:36.620 --> 00:10:40.259
of<00:10:40.000><c> necessity.</c>

00:10:40.259 --> 00:10:43.580
So<00:10:40.899><c> once</c><00:10:41.059><c> you</c><00:10:41.240><c> make</c><00:10:41.440><c> a</c><00:10:41.759><c> rule</c><00:10:41.960><c> that</c><00:10:42.200><c> says,</c><00:10:42.620><c> for</c><00:10:42.840><c> instance,</c><00:10:43.360><c> this</c>

00:10:43.580 --> 00:10:46.120
type<00:10:43.840><c> of</c><00:10:44.000><c> food</c><00:10:44.080><c> is</c><00:10:44.320><c> unclean,</c><00:10:45.080><c> then</c><00:10:45.200><c> the</c><00:10:45.379><c> focus</c><00:10:45.559><c> becomes</c><00:10:45.899><c> on</c>

00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:47.139
the<00:10:46.360><c> food.</c>

00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:50.220
And<00:10:47.519><c> you</c><00:10:48.059><c> look</c><00:10:48.279><c> and</c><00:10:48.460><c> say,</c><00:10:48.799><c> is</c><00:10:48.940><c> this</c><00:10:49.299><c> meat</c><00:10:49.500><c> from</c><00:10:49.700><c> this</c><00:10:49.940><c> animal</c>

00:10:50.220 --> 00:10:51.600
or<00:10:50.340><c> is</c><00:10:50.480><c> this</c><00:10:50.679><c> meat</c><00:10:50.799><c> from</c><00:10:51.019><c> this</c><00:10:51.279><c> animal?</c>

00:10:51.740 --> 00:10:52.860
If<00:10:51.840><c> it's</c><00:10:51.840><c> from</c><00:10:52.000><c> this</c><00:10:52.259><c> animal,</c><00:10:52.440><c> it's</c><00:10:52.639><c> OK.</c>

00:10:52.860 --> 00:10:54.899
And<00:10:53.000><c> from</c><00:10:53.120><c> this</c><00:10:53.399><c> animal,</c><00:10:53.620><c> it's</c><00:10:53.899><c> not</c><00:10:54.100><c> OK.</c>

00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:57.860
You're<00:10:55.240><c> focused</c><00:10:55.620><c> on</c><00:10:55.860><c> a</c><00:10:56.379><c> tangible</c><00:10:56.779><c> object.</c>

00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:02.820
Well,<00:10:58.080><c> Paul</c><00:10:58.259><c> said</c><00:10:58.480><c> right</c><00:10:58.740><c> here</c><00:10:58.919><c> in</c><00:10:59.019><c> the</c><00:10:59.159><c> last</c><00:10:59.419><c> verse</c><00:10:59.720><c> of</c><00:10:59.919><c> the</c><00:11:00.019><c> reading,</c><00:11:00.500><c> he</c><00:11:00.500><c> says,</c><00:11:01.580><c> verse</c><00:11:01.840><c> 17,</c><00:11:02.500><c> and</c><00:11:02.679><c> I</c>

00:11:02.820 --> 00:11:05.360
ended<00:11:03.019><c> on</c><00:11:03.279><c> this</c><00:11:03.779><c> verse</c><00:11:04.100><c> for</c><00:11:04.299><c> that</c><00:11:04.519><c> specific</c><00:11:04.960><c> reason.</c>

00:11:05.700 --> 00:11:08.559
For<00:11:05.879><c> the</c><00:11:06.080><c> kingdom</c><00:11:06.299><c> of</c><00:11:06.580><c> God</c><00:11:06.759><c> does</c><00:11:07.019><c> not</c><00:11:07.299><c> mean</c><00:11:07.559><c> food</c><00:11:07.879><c> and</c><00:11:08.200><c> drink.</c>

00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:12.100
That<00:11:09.240><c> is,</c><00:11:09.580><c> it's</c><00:11:09.580><c> not</c><00:11:10.039><c> the</c><00:11:10.580><c> literal</c><00:11:10.879><c> object</c><00:11:11.379><c> that's</c><00:11:11.600><c> important.</c>

00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:13.200
But<00:11:12.399><c> what</c><00:11:12.419><c> did</c><00:11:12.539><c> he</c><00:11:12.539><c> say?</c>

00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:17.759
But<00:11:14.080><c> righteousness</c><00:11:14.879><c> and</c><00:11:15.980><c> peace</c><00:11:16.460><c> and</c><00:11:16.820><c> joy.</c>

00:11:18.940 --> 00:11:23.679
Again,<00:11:19.179><c> those</c><00:11:19.399><c> are</c><00:11:19.580><c> what</c><00:11:19.700><c> we</c><00:11:19.899><c> call</c><00:11:20.559><c> abstract</c><00:11:21.639><c> ideas,</c><00:11:22.720><c> righteousness.</c>

00:11:24.220 --> 00:11:25.820
You<00:11:24.419><c> know,</c><00:11:24.419><c> where's</c><00:11:24.659><c> the</c><00:11:24.820><c> righteousness?</c>

00:11:27.340 --> 00:11:29.759
You<00:11:27.379><c> can't</c><00:11:27.720><c> say</c><00:11:27.799><c> you</c><00:11:27.879><c> can't</c><00:11:28.200><c> buy</c><00:11:28.379><c> it</c><00:11:28.519><c> at</c><00:11:28.620><c> the</c><00:11:28.840><c> store.</c>

00:11:30.139 --> 00:11:33.700
Peace,<00:11:31.460><c> joy,</c><00:11:31.960><c> those</c><00:11:32.179><c> are</c><00:11:33.000><c> those</c><00:11:33.000><c> are</c><00:11:33.240><c> ideas.</c>

00:11:33.899 --> 00:11:34.899
They're<00:11:34.139><c> not</c><00:11:34.379><c> things.</c>

00:11:34.899 --> 00:11:39.139
So<00:11:35.919><c> we</c><00:11:36.980><c> like</c><00:11:37.240><c> to</c><00:11:37.480><c> think</c><00:11:37.620><c> about</c><00:11:37.899><c> things,</c><00:11:38.440><c> but</c><00:11:38.440><c> because</c><00:11:38.879><c> they're</c>

00:11:39.139 --> 00:11:41.580
just<00:11:39.879><c> ideas,</c><00:11:40.539><c> they're</c><00:11:40.779><c> hard</c><00:11:41.039><c> to</c><00:11:41.299><c> define.</c>

00:11:41.779 --> 00:11:43.200
And<00:11:41.879><c> human</c><00:11:42.019><c> beings</c><00:11:42.240><c> like</c><00:11:42.519><c> things</c><00:11:42.860><c> defined.</c>

00:11:43.259 --> 00:11:45.659
We<00:11:43.379><c> like</c><00:11:43.580><c> it</c><00:11:43.840><c> black</c><00:11:43.960><c> and</c><00:11:44.159><c> white</c><00:11:44.299><c> and</c><00:11:44.419><c> put</c><00:11:44.539><c> it</c><00:11:44.639><c> in</c><00:11:44.720><c> a</c><00:11:44.860><c> box.</c>

00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:46.759
It's<00:11:46.200><c> just</c><00:11:46.379><c> easier.</c>

00:11:46.899 --> 00:11:48.019
This<00:11:47.100><c> is</c><00:11:47.259><c> harder.</c>

00:11:48.259 --> 00:11:49.740
God<00:11:48.480><c> gave</c><00:11:48.659><c> us</c><00:11:48.879><c> something</c><00:11:49.100><c> harder</c><00:11:49.399><c> to</c><00:11:49.519><c> deal</c><00:11:49.639><c> with.</c>

00:11:49.860 --> 00:11:53.600
Think<00:11:50.139><c> about</c><00:11:51.700><c> ideas.</c>

00:11:54.740 --> 00:11:56.519
Love<00:11:55.080><c> is</c><00:11:55.399><c> an</c><00:11:55.639><c> idea.</c>

00:11:57.059 --> 00:11:59.759
It's<00:11:57.320><c> not</c><00:11:57.960><c> a</c><00:11:58.860><c> thing.</c>

00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:05.159
Well,<00:12:01.240><c> very</c><00:12:01.600><c> closely</c><00:12:02.259><c> aligned</c><00:12:02.679><c> to</c><00:12:02.940><c> that</c><00:12:03.320><c> or</c><00:12:04.379><c> another</c><00:12:04.659><c> pair</c><00:12:04.919><c> we</c>

00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:39.480
It's<00:12:38.799><c> not</c><00:12:38.980><c> what</c><00:12:39.179><c> you</c><00:12:39.399><c> eat.</c>

00:12:58.460 --> 00:13:00.159
That's<00:12:58.519><c> not</c><00:12:58.700><c> what</c><00:12:58.820><c> you</c><00:12:59.019><c> eat,</c><00:12:59.519><c> but</c><00:12:59.759><c> how.</c>

But<00:13:00.840><c> the</c><00:13:01.000><c> how</c><00:13:01.240><c> process.</c>

00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:03.779
What<00:13:02.159><c> are</c><00:13:02.299><c> you</c><00:13:02.519><c> thinking</c><00:13:02.779><c> about?</c>

00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:07.220
That's<00:13:04.320><c> what</c><00:13:04.460><c> makes</c><00:13:04.679><c> something</c><00:13:05.159><c> right</c><00:13:05.659><c> or</c><00:13:05.940><c> wrong</c><00:13:06.120><c> because</c><00:13:06.440><c> it's</c><00:13:06.759><c> inside</c><00:13:07.019><c> of</c>

00:13:07.220 --> 00:13:08.559

00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:14.379
Well,<00:13:09.019><c> there's</c><00:13:09.200><c> a</c><00:13:09.360><c> number</c><00:13:09.639><c> of</c><00:13:10.360><c> Bible</c><00:13:11.279><c> examples</c><00:13:13.100><c> of</c><00:13:13.519><c> how</c><00:13:13.779><c> this</c><00:13:14.100><c> works.</c>

00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:16.879
And<00:13:14.679><c> I'll</c><00:13:14.919><c> give</c><00:13:15.039><c> you</c><00:13:15.159><c> just</c><00:13:15.360><c> a</c><00:13:15.440><c> couple</c><00:13:15.679><c> because</c><00:13:15.899><c> you</c><00:13:16.179><c> probably</c>

00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:20.240
maybe<00:13:17.820><c> have</c><00:13:18.019><c> not</c><00:13:18.279><c> thought</c><00:13:18.460><c> of</c><00:13:18.620><c> these</c><00:13:18.879><c> issues</c><00:13:19.120><c> in</c><00:13:19.320><c> this</c><00:13:19.500><c> particular</c><00:13:19.919><c> way.</c>

00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:25.899
If<00:13:20.539><c> I</c><00:13:20.840><c> were</c><00:13:21.100><c> to</c><00:13:21.279><c> say,</c><00:13:22.539><c> for</c><00:13:22.840><c> instance,</c><00:13:25.139><c> ask</c><00:13:25.279><c> you</c><00:13:25.460><c> a</c><00:13:25.580><c> question,</c>

00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:28.019
is<00:13:26.259><c> it</c><00:13:26.460><c> okay</c><00:13:26.620><c> to</c><00:13:26.860><c> kill</c><00:13:26.960><c> somebody?</c>

00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.059
No,<00:13:29.620><c> you</c><00:13:29.740><c> know,</c><00:13:29.840><c> it's</c><00:13:29.960><c> not</c><00:13:30.139><c> okay</c><00:13:30.379><c> to</c><00:13:30.559><c> kill</c><00:13:30.679><c> somebody.</c>

00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:32.179
That's<00:13:31.860><c> wrong.</c>

00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:36.179
You<00:13:32.379><c> shouldn't</c><00:13:32.519><c> even</c><00:13:32.879><c> think</c><00:13:33.620><c> evil</c><00:13:33.899><c> things</c><00:13:34.220><c> about</c><00:13:34.460><c> people,</c><00:13:35.100><c> right?</c>

00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:43.940
Yet<00:13:37.460><c> in</c><00:13:37.960><c> the</c><00:13:38.080><c> Old</c><00:13:38.240><c> Testament,</c><00:13:39.639><c> we</c><00:13:39.840><c> read</c><00:13:40.039><c> about</c><00:13:40.779><c> men</c><00:13:41.139><c> of</c><00:13:41.419><c> God</c><00:13:41.860><c> who</c><00:13:42.440><c> killed</c><00:13:42.580><c> lots</c><00:13:42.860><c> of</c><00:13:43.080><c> people.</c>

00:13:44.460 --> 00:13:45.279
David<00:13:44.779><c> killed</c><00:13:45.019><c> people.</c>

00:13:45.340 --> 00:13:47.139
Joshua<00:13:45.700><c> killed</c><00:13:46.000><c> people.</c>

00:13:47.779 --> 00:13:49.440
The<00:13:48.299><c> judges</c><00:13:48.600><c> killed</c><00:13:48.919><c> people.</c>

00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:52.639
They<00:13:50.419><c> wreaked</c><00:13:50.779><c> all</c><00:13:51.039><c> kinds</c><00:13:51.279><c> of</c><00:13:51.539><c> slaughter</c><00:13:51.820><c> because</c><00:13:52.139><c> God</c><00:13:52.360><c> told</c>

00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:55.080
them<00:13:52.919><c> to.</c>

00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:59.159
Well,<00:13:56.639><c> yeah,</c><00:13:57.320><c> I'll</c><00:13:58.019><c> read</c><00:13:58.139><c> you</c><00:13:58.299><c> one.</c>

00:13:59.340 --> 00:14:03.980
I<00:13:59.559><c> know</c><00:13:59.700><c> you</c><00:13:59.879><c> believe</c><00:14:00.139><c> me,</c><00:14:00.320><c> but</c><00:14:00.460><c> I'd</c><00:14:00.759><c> just</c><00:14:00.759><c> like</c><00:14:00.899><c> you</c><00:14:01.179><c> to</c><00:14:02.360><c> consider</c><00:14:02.779><c> this.</c>

00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:14.779
So<00:14:10.419><c> Joshua</c><00:14:10.919><c> came</c><00:14:12.500><c> upon</c><00:14:12.980><c> Gilgal</c><00:14:13.419><c> suddenly</c><00:14:13.820><c> and</c><00:14:14.039><c> the</c><00:14:14.240><c> Lord</c><00:14:14.399><c> threw</c><00:14:14.620><c> them</c>

And<00:14:28.379><c> they</c><00:14:28.659><c> fled</c><00:14:28.840><c> before</c><00:14:29.200><c> Israel</c><00:14:29.580><c> while</c><00:14:29.840><c> they</c><00:14:29.980><c> were</c><00:14:30.080><c> going</c><00:14:30.360><c> down</c><00:14:31.019><c> the</c>

00:14:37.779 --> 00:14:40.500
And<00:14:38.000><c> there</c><00:14:38.179><c> were</c><00:14:38.179><c> more</c><00:14:38.419><c> who</c><00:14:38.679><c> died</c><00:14:39.000><c> because</c><00:14:39.419><c> of</c><00:14:39.580><c> the</c><00:14:39.720><c> hailstones</c><00:14:40.200><c> than</c><00:14:40.360><c> the</c>

00:14:40.500 --> 00:14:42.259
men<00:14:40.639><c> of</c><00:14:40.820><c> Israel</c><00:14:41.159><c> killed</c><00:14:41.519><c> with</c><00:14:41.759><c> the</c><00:14:42.000><c> sword.</c>

00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:45.059
So<00:14:43.240><c> yeah,</c><00:14:43.620><c> they</c><00:14:43.679><c> were</c><00:14:43.820><c> killing</c><00:14:44.059><c> people</c><00:14:44.360><c> and</c><00:14:44.500><c> then</c><00:14:44.639><c> God</c><00:14:44.799><c> comes</c>

00:14:45.059 --> 00:14:47.120
and<00:14:45.259><c> brings</c><00:14:45.379><c> hailstones</c><00:14:45.860><c> on</c><00:14:46.059><c> them.</c>

00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:50.860
We<00:14:48.120><c> know</c><00:14:48.340><c> that</c><00:14:48.519><c> this</c><00:14:48.879><c> was</c><00:14:49.200><c> not</c><00:14:49.500><c> an</c><00:14:49.779><c> evil</c><00:14:49.980><c> sin</c><00:14:50.220><c> that</c><00:14:50.419><c> the</c><00:14:50.559><c> men</c><00:14:50.659><c> of</c>

00:14:50.860 --> 00:14:51.960
Israel<00:14:51.139><c> did.</c>

00:14:51.980 --> 00:14:53.580
It<00:14:52.139><c> was</c><00:14:52.340><c> something</c><00:14:52.620><c> that</c><00:14:52.840><c> God</c><00:14:52.980><c> had</c><00:14:53.179><c> told</c><00:14:53.299><c> them</c><00:14:53.480><c> to.</c>

00:14:53.820 --> 00:14:59.360
So<00:14:54.299><c> we</c><00:14:55.279><c> can't</c><00:14:55.659><c> answer</c><00:14:56.019><c> a</c><00:14:56.320><c> question</c><00:14:56.919><c> like</c><00:14:57.419><c> that</c><00:14:58.539><c> quite</c><00:14:58.879><c> exactly</c>

00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:00.700
as<00:14:59.820><c> we</c><00:14:59.980><c> think</c><00:15:00.279><c> we</c><00:15:00.539><c> could.</c>

00:15:00.820 --> 00:15:02.139
We<00:15:00.940><c> say,</c><00:15:01.159><c> is</c><00:15:01.159><c> it</c><00:15:01.279><c> wrong</c><00:15:01.440><c> to</c><00:15:01.659><c> kill</c><00:15:01.779><c> somebody?</c>

00:15:02.580 --> 00:15:03.600
You<00:15:02.840><c> can</c><00:15:03.139><c> see</c><00:15:03.320><c> that.</c>

00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:04.139
That's<00:15:03.879><c> murder.</c>

00:15:04.539 --> 00:15:05.679
Well,<00:15:04.740><c> maybe,</c><00:15:05.139><c> maybe</c><00:15:05.460><c> not.</c>

00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:09.940
Now,<00:15:06.000><c> in</c><00:15:06.159><c> our</c><00:15:06.340><c> dispensation,</c><00:15:06.899><c> of</c><00:15:07.100><c> course,</c><00:15:07.279><c> we</c><00:15:07.440><c> would</c><00:15:07.679><c> have</c><00:15:08.600><c> no</c>

00:15:09.940 --> 00:15:13.440
issue<00:15:11.980><c> about</c><00:15:12.259><c> that</c><00:15:12.480><c> whatsoever</c><00:15:12.899><c> here.</c>

00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:16.279
Because<00:15:13.759><c> God</c><00:15:13.960><c> has</c><00:15:14.200><c> obviously</c><00:15:14.519><c> not</c><00:15:14.779><c> told</c><00:15:14.980><c> us</c><00:15:15.200><c> to</c><00:15:15.360><c> do</c><00:15:15.480><c> such</c><00:15:15.700><c> things</c><00:15:16.000><c> and</c>

00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:18.679
it's<00:15:16.700><c> unlikely</c><00:15:17.059><c> that</c><00:15:17.399><c> he</c><00:15:17.620><c> will.</c>

00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:27.700
However,<00:15:22.340><c> things</c><00:15:22.600><c> that</c><00:15:22.840><c> people</c><00:15:23.139><c> do,</c><00:15:25.200><c> do</c><00:15:25.559><c> depend</c><00:15:25.980><c> on</c><00:15:26.679><c> the</c><00:15:27.059><c> process</c><00:15:27.480><c> and</c>

00:15:27.700 --> 00:15:28.159
the<00:15:27.899><c> how.</c>

00:15:28.259 --> 00:15:29.159
Why<00:15:28.480><c> are</c><00:15:28.600><c> they</c><00:15:28.740><c> doing</c><00:15:29.000><c> that?</c>

00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:30.559
It's<00:15:29.379><c> because</c><00:15:29.600><c> the</c><00:15:29.759><c> Lord</c><00:15:29.879><c> gave</c><00:15:30.080><c> them</c><00:15:30.220><c> instruction.</c>

00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:33.279
That's<00:15:31.039><c> what</c><00:15:31.480><c> you</c><00:15:31.899><c> might</c><00:15:32.039><c> say</c><00:15:32.299><c> made</c><00:15:32.740><c> that</c><00:15:32.980><c> okay.</c>

00:15:33.299 --> 00:15:34.159
David<00:15:33.600><c> killed</c><00:15:33.840><c> Goliath.</c>

00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:38.700
Well,<00:15:34.299><c> it's</c><00:15:34.440><c> not</c><00:15:34.580><c> nice</c><00:15:34.740><c> to</c><00:15:34.919><c> kill</c><00:15:35.019><c> people</c><00:15:36.139><c> normally.</c>

00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:41.419
But<00:15:39.559><c> in</c><00:15:39.820><c> that</c><00:15:39.820><c> instance,</c><00:15:40.379><c> that</c><00:15:40.620><c> was</c><00:15:40.759><c> something</c><00:15:40.960><c> that</c><00:15:41.139><c> had</c><00:15:41.240><c> to</c>

00:15:41.419 --> 00:15:44.440
be<00:15:41.580><c> done</c><00:15:41.820><c> because</c><00:15:42.220><c> of</c><00:15:42.600><c> the</c><00:15:42.759><c> situation</c><00:15:43.299><c> who</c><00:15:43.519><c> Goliath</c><00:15:43.700><c> was.</c>

00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:46.700
So<00:15:45.000><c> you</c><00:15:45.539><c> say,</c><00:15:45.659><c> well,</c><00:15:45.799><c> that's</c><00:15:45.980><c> in</c><00:15:46.120><c> the</c><00:15:46.179><c> Old</c><00:15:46.340><c> Testament.</c>

00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:47.960
People<00:15:47.039><c> did</c><00:15:47.299><c> things</c><00:15:47.539><c> like</c><00:15:47.840><c> that.</c>

00:15:47.980 --> 00:15:48.659
And<00:15:48.100><c> that's</c><00:15:48.379><c> true.</c>

00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:50.679
And<00:15:49.059><c> fortunately,</c><00:15:49.480><c> under</c><00:15:49.600><c> the</c><00:15:49.820><c> covenant</c><00:15:50.000><c> of</c><00:15:50.159><c> grace,</c><00:15:50.320><c> we</c><00:15:50.460><c> have</c>

00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:55.600
not<00:15:50.899><c> been</c><00:15:51.340><c> so</c><00:15:51.820><c> instructed</c><00:15:52.559><c> to</c><00:15:53.860><c> do</c><00:15:54.019><c> that.</c>

00:15:59.659 --> 00:16:05.419
Another<00:16:00.220><c> contrast,</c><00:16:00.820><c> we</c><00:16:01.059><c> might</c><00:16:01.279><c> say,</c><00:16:02.019><c> is</c><00:16:02.679><c> rules</c><00:16:03.299><c> and</c><00:16:04.360><c> principles.</c>

00:16:05.620 --> 00:16:08.960
We<00:16:05.899><c> said</c><00:16:06.179><c> the</c><00:16:06.519><c> concept</c><00:16:06.879><c> of</c><00:16:07.100><c> having</c><00:16:07.279><c> a</c><00:16:07.639><c> rule</c><00:16:07.919><c> for</c><00:16:08.220><c> everything</c>

00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:13.179
pervaded<00:16:10.220><c> the</c><00:16:10.919><c> way</c><00:16:11.100><c> of</c><00:16:11.299><c> life</c><00:16:11.500><c> of</c><00:16:12.220><c> the</c><00:16:12.419><c> Pharisees.</c>

00:16:13.580 --> 00:16:16.860
It<00:16:13.679><c> wasn't</c><00:16:13.940><c> just</c><00:16:14.279><c> enough</c><00:16:14.419><c> to</c><00:16:14.659><c> have</c><00:16:14.779><c> a</c><00:16:15.039><c> general</c><00:16:15.299><c> rule</c><00:16:15.500><c> that</c><00:16:15.779><c> said</c><00:16:16.000><c> don't</c><00:16:16.480><c> work</c><00:16:16.700><c> on</c>

00:16:16.860 --> 00:16:17.179
the<00:16:17.019><c> Sabbath.</c>

00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:20.220
They<00:16:17.399><c> had</c><00:16:17.580><c> to</c><00:16:17.759><c> have</c><00:16:18.259><c> hundreds</c><00:16:18.659><c> of</c><00:16:19.019><c> sub</c><00:16:19.240><c>-rules</c><00:16:19.539><c> and</c><00:16:19.779><c> more</c><00:16:20.000><c> rules</c>

00:16:20.220 --> 00:16:22.480
and<00:16:20.320><c> rules</c><00:16:20.600><c> and</c><00:16:20.700><c> rules</c><00:16:20.980><c> to</c><00:16:21.559><c> make</c><00:16:21.759><c> every</c><00:16:22.059><c> guideline</c>

00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:25.940
so<00:16:22.659><c> that</c><00:16:22.779><c> they</c><00:16:22.879><c> could</c><00:16:23.120><c> say</c><00:16:23.700><c> you're</c><00:16:24.159><c> carrying</c><00:16:24.440><c> this</c><00:16:25.299><c> amount</c><00:16:25.639><c> of</c>

00:16:25.940 --> 00:16:27.340
weight<00:16:26.200><c> on</c><00:16:26.500><c> a</c><00:16:26.720><c> Sabbath</c><00:16:26.860><c> is</c><00:16:27.100><c> okay.</c>

00:16:27.379 --> 00:16:29.539
But<00:16:27.539><c> that</c><00:16:27.860><c> amount</c><00:16:28.179><c> is</c><00:16:28.440><c> over</c><00:16:28.659><c> the</c><00:16:28.799><c> limit.</c>

00:16:29.659 --> 00:16:33.120
Or<00:16:30.100><c> if</c><00:16:30.279><c> you</c><00:16:30.500><c> walk</c><00:16:30.600><c> so</c><00:16:30.940><c> far</c><00:16:31.019><c> in</c><00:16:31.159><c> the</c><00:16:31.360><c> Sabbath,</c><00:16:31.879><c> you</c><00:16:32.139><c> remember</c><00:16:32.340><c> the</c><00:16:32.600><c> expression</c><00:16:32.879><c> a</c>

00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:34.039
Sabbath<00:16:33.419><c> day's</c><00:16:33.799><c> journey.</c>

00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:38.159
I<00:16:34.580><c> think</c><00:16:34.759><c> that's</c><00:16:35.240><c> the</c><00:16:36.320><c> distance</c><00:16:36.720><c> given</c><00:16:36.940><c> from</c><00:16:37.220><c> Jerusalem</c><00:16:37.620><c> to</c><00:16:37.860><c> Bethany.</c>

00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:39.779
They<00:16:38.340><c> said</c><00:16:38.440><c> it's</c><00:16:38.620><c> about</c><00:16:38.820><c> a</c><00:16:39.100><c> Sabbath</c><00:16:39.299><c> day's</c><00:16:39.659><c> journey.</c>

00:16:39.820 --> 00:16:43.080
Well,<00:16:39.960><c> that's</c><00:16:40.220><c> how</c><00:16:40.379><c> far</c><00:16:40.480><c> they</c><00:16:40.620><c> could</c><00:16:40.759><c> walk</c><00:16:41.259><c> without</c><00:16:42.500><c> sinning</c>

00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:45.480
because<00:16:43.320><c> they</c><00:16:43.559><c> decided</c><00:16:43.759><c> this</c><00:16:44.000><c> was</c><00:16:44.179><c> a</c><00:16:44.340><c> certain</c><00:16:44.460><c> amount</c><00:16:44.720><c> is</c><00:16:44.919><c> okay</c><00:16:45.100><c> to</c><00:16:45.320><c> walk.</c>

00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:48.399
But<00:16:45.740><c> any</c><00:16:46.039><c> further</c><00:16:46.259><c> than</c><00:16:46.480><c> that</c><00:16:46.679><c> would</c><00:16:46.879><c> be</c><00:16:47.519><c> considered</c><00:16:47.899><c> illegal.</c>

00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:51.320
So<00:16:48.960><c> you</c><00:16:49.039><c> have</c><00:16:49.139><c> more</c><00:16:49.460><c> and</c><00:16:49.519><c> more</c><00:16:49.659><c> and</c><00:16:49.740><c> more</c><00:16:49.899><c> rules</c><00:16:50.399><c> where</c><00:16:51.019><c> under</c>

00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:53.960
the<00:16:51.460><c> new</c><00:16:51.620><c> covenant,</c><00:16:52.279><c> we</c><00:16:52.279><c> have</c><00:16:53.000><c> no</c><00:16:53.759><c> rules.</c>

00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:55.860
We<00:16:54.100><c> only</c><00:16:54.259><c> have</c><00:16:54.460><c> principles.</c>

00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:59.639
Principles<00:16:56.399><c> are</c><00:16:56.639><c> these</c><00:16:56.820><c> general</c><00:16:57.100><c> guidelines</c><00:16:57.480><c> like</c><00:16:57.759><c> love</c><00:16:58.419><c> or</c>

00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:07.079
That's<00:17:04.240><c> what</c><00:17:04.380><c> Jesus</c><00:17:04.740><c> continually</c><00:17:05.200><c> tried</c><00:17:05.460><c> to</c><00:17:05.680><c> do</c><00:17:05.799><c> in</c><00:17:05.920><c> these</c><00:17:06.119><c> Sabbath</c><00:17:06.440><c> examples</c><00:17:06.900><c> we</c>

00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:08.700

00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:12.920
That<00:17:10.160><c> rather</c><00:17:10.640><c> defined</c><00:17:11.180><c> in</c><00:17:11.380><c> the</c><00:17:11.559><c> little</c><00:17:11.799><c> tiny</c><00:17:12.119><c> microscopes,</c>

00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:14.660
this<00:17:13.480><c> is</c><00:17:13.759><c> mad,</c><00:17:13.920><c> it's</c><00:17:14.019><c> too</c><00:17:14.220><c> big</c><00:17:14.339><c> or</c><00:17:14.539><c> not.</c>

00:17:14.740 --> 00:17:15.460
Is<00:17:14.799><c> that</c><00:17:14.960><c> making</c><00:17:15.240><c> mud?</c>

00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:16.519
No,<00:17:15.680><c> that's</c><00:17:16.119><c> the</c><00:17:16.259><c> law.</c>

00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:19.799
Jesus<00:17:17.220><c> trying</c><00:17:17.460><c> to</c><00:17:17.599><c> teach</c><00:17:17.700><c> them</c><00:17:17.819><c> a</c><00:17:18.000><c> principle,</c><00:17:18.759><c> which</c><00:17:18.759><c> is,</c><00:17:19.759><c> is</c>

00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:21.400
it<00:17:20.000><c> right</c><00:17:20.160><c> to</c><00:17:20.460><c> do</c><00:17:20.599><c> good</c><00:17:20.759><c> on</c><00:17:20.980><c> the</c><00:17:21.140><c> Sabbath?</c>

00:17:21.779 --> 00:17:22.539
Is<00:17:21.900><c> it</c><00:17:21.980><c> right</c><00:17:22.079><c> to</c><00:17:22.339><c> heal?</c>

00:17:22.579 --> 00:17:23.460
Of<00:17:22.799><c> course</c><00:17:22.980><c> it</c><00:17:23.160><c> is.</c>

00:17:23.740 --> 00:17:25.240
That<00:17:23.880><c> was</c><00:17:24.000><c> a</c><00:17:24.220><c> principle.</c>

00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:30.299
And<00:17:25.660><c> a</c><00:17:25.839><c> principle,</c><00:17:27.420><c> when</c><00:17:27.619><c> our</c><00:17:27.880><c> principles</c><00:17:28.200><c> are</c><00:17:28.480><c> guided</c><00:17:28.759><c> by</c><00:17:29.359><c> the</c><00:17:29.980><c> terms</c><00:17:30.160><c> of</c>

00:17:30.299 --> 00:17:33.319
the<00:17:30.359><c> new</c><00:17:30.500><c> covenant,</c><00:17:31.559><c> are</c><00:17:31.920><c> indeed</c><00:17:32.440><c> the</c><00:17:32.680><c> principles</c><00:17:32.940><c> of</c><00:17:33.180><c> God.</c>

00:17:33.380 --> 00:17:35.420
Now<00:17:33.619><c> we</c><00:17:33.720><c> can</c><00:17:33.920><c> have</c><00:17:34.099><c> wrong</c><00:17:34.359><c> principles</c><00:17:34.859><c> too.</c>

00:17:35.420 --> 00:17:41.099
The<00:17:36.259><c> point</c><00:17:36.579><c> is</c><00:17:36.839><c> here</c><00:17:37.259><c> that</c><00:17:38.119><c> we</c><00:17:38.599><c> are</c><00:17:38.740><c> only</c><00:17:38.920><c> given</c><00:17:40.279><c> guidelines</c>

00:17:41.099 --> 00:17:43.900
and<00:17:41.400><c> images</c><00:17:41.819><c> and</c><00:17:43.000><c> teachings</c><00:17:43.359><c> from</c><00:17:43.619><c> God</c>

00:17:43.900 --> 00:17:47.059
on<00:17:44.079><c> which</c><00:17:44.220><c> we</c><00:17:44.400><c> have</c><00:17:44.599><c> to</c><00:17:44.799><c> learn</c><00:17:44.940><c> how</c><00:17:45.279><c> to</c><00:17:45.839><c> thereby</c><00:17:46.220><c> operate</c><00:17:46.799><c> our</c>

00:17:47.059 --> 00:17:49.640
lives<00:17:47.339><c> and</c><00:17:47.519><c> live</c><00:17:47.700><c> them</c><00:17:47.900><c> out</c><00:17:48.180><c> of</c><00:17:48.539><c> love.</c>

00:17:52.599 --> 00:18:00.359
Now<00:17:52.700><c> this</c><00:17:52.880><c> contrast</c><00:17:53.380><c> here</c><00:17:53.940><c> is</c><00:17:55.359><c> one</c><00:17:56.019><c> that</c><00:17:57.039><c> we</c><00:17:57.640><c> address</c><00:17:57.920><c> directly</c><00:17:58.359><c> in</c><00:17:58.559><c> Romans</c><00:17:58.779><c> 14.</c>

00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:03.740
And<00:18:01.059><c> I</c><00:18:01.079><c> can</c><00:18:01.279><c> bring</c><00:18:01.400><c> it</c><00:18:01.539><c> up</c><00:18:01.680><c> again</c><00:18:01.859><c> in</c><00:18:02.059><c> a</c><00:18:02.140><c> slightly</c><00:18:02.339><c> different</c><00:18:02.720><c> slant.</c>

00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:08.940
Under<00:18:04.839><c> the</c><00:18:05.059><c> law,</c><00:18:05.759><c> precise</c><00:18:06.079><c> definition</c><00:18:06.720><c> of</c><00:18:06.920><c> course</c><00:18:07.279><c> became</c><00:18:07.900><c> a</c>

00:18:08.940 --> 00:18:10.880
very<00:18:09.259><c> important</c><00:18:09.839><c> feature.</c>

00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:15.740
That<00:18:11.700><c> is,</c><00:18:13.240><c> if</c><00:18:13.400><c> you</c><00:18:14.079><c> were</c><00:18:14.220><c> to</c><00:18:14.420><c> keep</c><00:18:14.559><c> from</c><00:18:14.859><c> sinning,</c><00:18:15.220><c> you</c><00:18:15.339><c> had</c><00:18:15.599><c> to</c>

00:18:15.740 --> 00:18:18.579
know<00:18:15.880><c> exactly</c><00:18:16.299><c> what</c><00:18:16.500><c> it</c><00:18:16.700><c> was</c><00:18:16.900><c> that</c><00:18:17.059><c> was</c><00:18:17.299><c> okay</c><00:18:17.559><c> and</c><00:18:17.839><c> exactly</c><00:18:18.240><c> what</c><00:18:18.440><c> it</c>

00:18:18.579 --> 00:18:19.880
was<00:18:18.720><c> that</c><00:18:19.019><c> wasn't</c><00:18:19.319><c> okay.</c>

00:18:20.299 --> 00:18:23.799
And<00:18:20.519><c> that's</c><00:18:20.740><c> why</c><00:18:21.099><c> they</c><00:18:21.599><c> expanded</c><00:18:22.180><c> the</c><00:18:22.480><c> laws</c><00:18:22.740><c> and</c><00:18:22.960><c> wrote</c><00:18:23.079><c> volumes</c><00:18:23.559><c> and</c>

00:18:25.299 --> 00:18:26.759
And<00:18:25.440><c> I</c><00:18:25.500><c> gave</c><00:18:25.619><c> you</c><00:18:25.779><c> some</c><00:18:25.960><c> examples</c><00:18:26.359><c> yesterday.</c>

00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:29.720
I<00:18:26.759><c> said,</c><00:18:26.960><c> this</c><00:18:27.599><c> is</c><00:18:28.140><c> okay,</c><00:18:28.619><c> this</c><00:18:28.900><c> is</c><00:18:29.140><c> not</c><00:18:29.299><c> okay.</c>

00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:35.680
And<00:18:30.099><c> very</c><00:18:30.319><c> often</c><00:18:30.759><c> some</c><00:18:31.299><c> of</c><00:18:31.440><c> those</c><00:18:31.839><c> not</c><00:18:32.279><c> okays</c><00:18:32.980><c> were</c><00:18:34.359><c> given</c><00:18:34.920><c> more</c><00:18:35.319><c> on</c>

00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:40.859
the<00:18:36.119><c> idea</c><00:18:36.420><c> of</c><00:18:36.859><c> just</c><00:18:37.259><c> to</c><00:18:37.619><c> be</c><00:18:38.140><c> sure</c><00:18:38.799><c> we'll</c><00:18:39.980><c> make</c><00:18:40.259><c> another</c><00:18:40.559><c> law.</c>

00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:42.380
That<00:18:41.279><c> was</c><00:18:41.480><c> the</c><00:18:41.680><c> thinking.</c>

00:18:43.539 --> 00:18:47.440
We<00:18:43.980><c> just</c><00:18:44.420><c> might</c><00:18:45.740><c> be</c><00:18:46.099><c> in</c><00:18:46.240><c> this</c><00:18:46.539><c> gray</c><00:18:46.839><c> zone</c><00:18:47.200><c> here.</c>

00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:49.640
So<00:18:47.599><c> we'll</c><00:18:47.779><c> make</c><00:18:47.940><c> another</c><00:18:48.200><c> law</c><00:18:48.359><c> that</c><00:18:48.440><c> says,</c><00:18:48.940><c> well,</c><00:18:48.940><c> if</c><00:18:49.119><c> it's</c><00:18:49.319><c> wrong</c><00:18:49.480><c> to</c>

00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:52.180
do<00:18:49.759><c> this,</c><00:18:49.980><c> then</c><00:18:50.119><c> we'll</c><00:18:50.880><c> back</c><00:18:51.140><c> up</c><00:18:51.319><c> a</c><00:18:51.480><c> couple</c><00:18:51.660><c> steps</c><00:18:51.940><c> and</c><00:18:52.079><c> say,</c>

00:18:52.259 --> 00:18:55.240
well,<00:18:52.500><c> we'll</c><00:18:52.759><c> even</c><00:18:52.960><c> make</c><00:18:53.160><c> it</c><00:18:53.339><c> wrong</c><00:18:53.460><c> to</c><00:18:53.619><c> do</c><00:18:53.759><c> this</c><00:18:54.220><c> and</c><00:18:54.539><c> to</c><00:18:54.680><c> do</c><00:18:54.839><c> this.</c>

00:18:55.259 --> 00:18:56.240
And<00:18:55.480><c> by</c><00:18:55.660><c> the</c><00:18:55.740><c> time</c><00:18:55.759><c> we</c><00:18:55.839><c> get</c><00:18:55.920><c> over</c><00:18:56.099><c> here,</c>

00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:57.319
we<00:18:56.319><c> know</c><00:18:56.480><c> we're</c><00:18:56.640><c> pretty</c><00:18:56.859><c> safe.</c>

00:18:57.720 --> 00:18:58.880
We're<00:18:58.000><c> pretty</c><00:18:58.240><c> safe</c><00:18:58.519><c> now.</c>

00:18:59.140 --> 00:19:01.960
In<00:18:59.259><c> other</c><00:18:59.400><c> words,</c><00:18:59.559><c> if</c><00:18:59.700><c> it</c><00:18:59.779><c> might</c><00:19:00.000><c> be</c><00:19:00.259><c> a</c><00:19:00.319><c> sin</c><00:19:00.420><c> to</c><00:19:00.640><c> walk</c><00:19:01.019><c> more</c><00:19:01.460><c> than</c><00:19:01.619><c> two</c><00:19:01.779><c> miles,</c>

00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:04.059
say,<00:19:02.180><c> well,</c><00:19:02.240><c> if</c><00:19:02.359><c> we</c><00:19:02.420><c> only</c><00:19:02.559><c> walk</c><00:19:02.759><c> one</c><00:19:03.000><c> mile</c><00:19:03.160><c> and</c><00:19:03.279><c> don't</c><00:19:03.400><c> even</c><00:19:03.559><c> get</c><00:19:03.680><c> close</c><00:19:03.920><c> to</c>

00:19:05.420 --> 00:19:13.539
Give<00:19:05.740><c> yourself</c><00:19:06.220><c> some</c><00:19:06.640><c> room</c><00:19:07.119><c> to</c><00:19:11.619><c> cushion</c><00:19:12.240><c> yourself,</c><00:19:12.839><c> a</c><00:19:13.000><c> buffer</c><00:19:13.200><c> zone.</c>

00:19:13.980 --> 00:19:15.440

00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:20.420
And<00:19:17.279><c> get</c><00:19:17.460><c> everything</c><00:19:17.940><c> exactly</c><00:19:18.960><c> precise.</c>

00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:24.960
Where<00:19:21.359><c> under</c><00:19:21.839><c> the</c><00:19:21.940><c> New</c><00:19:22.079><c> Covenant,</c><00:19:22.779><c> again,</c><00:19:23.960><c> you</c><00:19:24.119><c> can't</c><00:19:24.700><c> make</c>

00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:27.359
precise<00:19:25.359><c> laws</c><00:19:25.599><c> of</c><00:19:25.740><c> what's</c><00:19:26.099><c> right</c><00:19:26.259><c> or</c><00:19:26.519><c> wrong</c><00:19:26.799><c> because</c><00:19:27.160><c> you're</c>

00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:28.140
dealing<00:19:27.500><c> by</c><00:19:27.720><c> principles.</c>

00:19:28.539 --> 00:19:31.599
And<00:19:28.700><c> this</c><00:19:28.900><c> example</c><00:19:29.259><c> right</c><00:19:29.480><c> here</c><00:19:29.660><c> in</c><00:19:29.759><c> Romans</c><00:19:29.960><c> 14</c><00:19:30.480><c> is</c><00:19:31.099><c> as</c><00:19:31.440><c> good</c>

00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:34.000
as<00:19:31.779><c> one</c><00:19:31.880><c> we</c><00:19:32.059><c> can</c><00:19:32.299><c> find</c><00:19:32.519><c> where</c><00:19:32.740><c> Paul</c><00:19:32.980><c> says,</c>

00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:36.859
I<00:19:34.339><c> can't</c><00:19:34.640><c> tell</c><00:19:34.900><c> you</c><00:19:35.140><c> exactly</c><00:19:35.519><c> what's</c><00:19:35.980><c> right</c><00:19:36.119><c> or</c><00:19:36.299><c> wrong</c><00:19:36.519><c> about</c>

00:19:36.859 --> 00:19:40.839
eating<00:19:37.099><c> meat</c><00:19:37.519><c> because</c><00:19:38.440><c> it</c><00:19:38.720><c> will</c><00:19:39.000><c> change</c><00:19:39.519><c> from</c><00:19:39.779><c> one</c><00:19:40.000><c> individual</c><00:19:40.420><c> to</c><00:19:40.660><c> another.</c>

00:19:40.900 --> 00:19:43.660
Therefore,<00:19:41.480><c> the</c><00:19:41.619><c> rules</c><00:19:41.839><c> for</c><00:19:42.059><c> one</c><00:19:42.259><c> person</c><00:19:42.619><c> in</c><00:19:43.019><c> one</c><00:19:43.180><c> situation</c>

00:19:43.660 --> 00:19:46.059
might<00:19:43.880><c> be</c><00:19:44.180><c> different</c><00:19:44.440><c> for</c><00:19:44.700><c> somebody</c><00:19:45.039><c> else.</c>

00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:47.700
There's<00:19:46.180><c> more</c><00:19:46.400><c> than</c><00:19:46.619><c> one</c><00:19:46.759><c> way</c><00:19:46.920><c> of</c><00:19:46.940><c> looking</c><00:19:47.180><c> at</c><00:19:47.400><c> this.</c>

00:19:47.700 --> 00:19:53.500
This<00:19:48.079><c> example</c><00:19:48.079><c> of</c><00:19:48.079><c> 1</c><00:19:48.200><c> Corinthians</c><00:19:48.559><c> 7</c><00:19:49.240><c> is</c><00:19:49.680><c> perhaps</c><00:19:50.119><c> even</c><00:19:50.519><c> a</c><00:19:51.259><c> better</c><00:19:51.460><c> example</c><00:19:52.180><c> because</c><00:19:53.259><c> he</c>

00:19:53.500 --> 00:20:01.140
says<00:19:53.660><c> this</c><00:19:53.960><c> explicitly</c><00:19:55.079><c> in</c><00:19:59.799><c> verse</c><00:20:00.380><c> 38.</c>

00:20:01.220 --> 00:20:04.079
He<00:20:01.420><c> has</c><00:20:01.539><c> this</c><00:20:01.700><c> long</c><00:20:01.880><c> discussion</c><00:20:02.440><c> of</c><00:20:03.119><c> is</c><00:20:03.259><c> it</c><00:20:03.460><c> right</c><00:20:03.539><c> to</c><00:20:03.680><c> get</c><00:20:03.819><c> married</c><00:20:03.980><c> or</c>

00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:04.720
not<00:20:04.299><c> to</c><00:20:04.420><c> get</c><00:20:04.539><c> married.</c>

00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:06.440
That's<00:20:05.259><c> the</c><00:20:05.480><c> context.</c>

00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:11.059
And<00:20:08.940><c> here's</c><00:20:09.480><c> his</c><00:20:09.599><c> conclusion.</c>

00:20:14.019 --> 00:20:19.539
So<00:20:14.539><c> that</c><00:20:15.059><c> he</c><00:20:15.920><c> who</c><00:20:16.240><c> marries</c><00:20:16.779><c> his</c><00:20:17.119><c> betrothed</c><00:20:17.660><c> does</c><00:20:17.960><c> well</c><00:20:18.579><c> and</c><00:20:19.339><c> he</c>

00:20:19.539 --> 00:20:22.099
who<00:20:19.740><c> refrains</c><00:20:20.220><c> from</c><00:20:20.440><c> marriage</c><00:20:20.700><c> will</c><00:20:20.900><c> do</c><00:20:21.079><c> better.</c>

00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:26.880
That's<00:20:23.019><c> two</c><00:20:23.240><c> different</c><00:20:23.720><c> concepts</c><00:20:24.480><c> that</c><00:20:25.579><c> wasn't</c><00:20:26.019><c> saying</c><00:20:26.420><c> it's</c>

00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:27.400
right<00:20:27.039><c> or</c><00:20:27.240><c> wrong.</c>

00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:29.299
It's<00:20:27.579><c> saying,</c><00:20:27.920><c> well,</c><00:20:28.519><c> it's</c><00:20:28.799><c> okay</c><00:20:28.960><c> to</c><00:20:29.160><c> marry.</c>

00:20:29.339 --> 00:20:30.759
It's<00:20:29.559><c> also</c><00:20:29.819><c> not</c><00:20:30.420><c> to.</c>

00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:31.680
In<00:20:30.839><c> fact,</c><00:20:31.019><c> it</c><00:20:31.059><c> might</c><00:20:31.220><c> even</c><00:20:31.380><c> be</c><00:20:31.539><c> better.</c>

00:20:31.700 --> 00:20:33.099
But<00:20:31.880><c> if</c><00:20:32.039><c> you</c><00:20:32.140><c> marry,</c><00:20:32.299><c> that's</c><00:20:32.559><c> okay,</c><00:20:33.059><c> too.</c>

00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:36.579
This<00:20:33.759><c> is</c><00:20:33.940><c> ambiguity</c><00:20:34.359><c> where</c><00:20:34.680><c> there</c><00:20:34.819><c> be</c><00:20:35.119><c> essentially</c><00:20:35.519><c> different</c><00:20:35.920><c> standards</c><00:20:36.339><c> for</c>

00:20:36.579 --> 00:20:37.500
different<00:20:36.839><c> people.</c>

00:20:37.500 --> 00:20:42.059
For<00:20:38.319><c> some</c><00:20:38.599><c> of</c><00:20:38.720><c> them,</c><00:20:38.960><c> he</c><00:20:39.119><c> says</c><00:20:39.319><c> if</c><00:20:39.640><c> you're</c><00:20:40.039><c> a</c><00:20:40.259><c> flame</c><00:20:40.559><c> with</c><00:20:41.299><c> passion,</c><00:20:41.940><c> you</c>

00:20:42.059 --> 00:20:43.339
should<00:20:42.240><c> get</c><00:20:42.440><c> married.</c>

00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:47.099
If<00:20:43.559><c> you</c><00:20:43.759><c> can't</c><00:20:44.099><c> maintain</c><00:20:44.599><c> your</c><00:20:45.579><c> chastity</c><00:20:46.319><c> without</c><00:20:46.720><c> marriage,</c>

00:20:47.380 --> 00:20:49.000
then<00:20:47.519><c> you</c><00:20:47.660><c> should</c><00:20:47.779><c> be</c><00:20:48.019><c> married.</c>

00:20:49.740 --> 00:20:51.059
That's<00:20:49.859><c> literally</c><00:20:50.160><c> what</c><00:20:50.319><c> he</c><00:20:50.519><c> says</c><00:20:50.660><c> in</c><00:20:50.839><c> here.</c>

00:20:51.259 --> 00:20:53.559
But<00:20:51.400><c> if</c><00:20:51.559><c> you</c><00:20:51.819><c> can,</c><00:20:52.019><c> if</c><00:20:52.180><c> you</c><00:20:52.319><c> can</c><00:20:52.480><c> act</c><00:20:52.700><c> circumspectly</c><00:20:53.359><c> towards</c>

00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:55.240
your<00:20:53.680><c> betrothed,</c><00:20:54.119><c> then</c><00:20:54.279><c> just</c><00:20:54.519><c> stay</c><00:20:54.779><c> betrothed.</c>

00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:56.480
Don't<00:20:55.460><c> get</c><00:20:55.640><c> married.</c>

00:20:56.579 --> 00:20:59.140
It's<00:20:56.859><c> up</c><00:20:56.980><c> to</c><00:20:57.180><c> this</c><00:20:57.400><c> couple</c><00:20:57.680><c> and</c><00:20:57.880><c> this</c><00:20:58.140><c> couple</c><00:20:58.339><c> and</c><00:20:58.400><c> this</c><00:20:58.619><c> couple</c><00:20:58.799><c> each</c>

00:20:59.140 --> 00:21:04.700
have<00:20:59.460><c> in</c><00:20:59.740><c> that</c><00:21:00.039><c> particular</c><00:21:00.700><c> type</c><00:21:01.339><c> of</c><00:21:02.059><c> situation</c><00:21:02.640><c> a</c><00:21:04.180><c> different</c>

00:21:04.700 --> 00:21:05.940
way<00:21:05.059><c> of</c><00:21:05.220><c> looking</c><00:21:05.420><c> at</c><00:21:05.660><c> it.</c>

00:21:05.940 --> 00:21:09.420
So<00:21:06.359><c> there</c><00:21:06.480><c> is</c><00:21:06.720><c> no</c><00:21:07.039><c> one</c><00:21:07.480><c> rule</c><00:21:07.759><c> that's</c><00:21:08.200><c> precisely</c><00:21:08.559><c> defined</c><00:21:08.940><c> for</c><00:21:09.160><c> everybody.</c>

00:21:09.539 --> 00:21:11.779
It's,<00:21:09.819><c> well,</c><00:21:09.880><c> maybe</c><00:21:10.119><c> this</c><00:21:10.359><c> or</c><00:21:10.579><c> maybe</c><00:21:10.880><c> this.</c>

00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:14.539
And<00:21:12.119><c> that's</c><00:21:12.299><c> very</c><00:21:12.539><c> difficult</c><00:21:13.079><c> for</c><00:21:13.599><c> us</c><00:21:13.900><c> to</c><00:21:14.200><c> accept.</c>

00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:17.619
We<00:21:15.359><c> want</c><00:21:15.579><c> everybody</c><00:21:15.980><c> to</c><00:21:16.299><c> live</c><00:21:16.400><c> by</c><00:21:16.579><c> the</c><00:21:16.799><c> same</c><00:21:16.980><c> rules</c><00:21:17.180><c> all</c><00:21:17.480><c> the</c><00:21:17.519><c> time.</c>

00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:18.680
It<00:21:17.799><c> makes</c><00:21:18.019><c> life</c><00:21:18.319><c> tidy.</c>

00:21:18.859 --> 00:21:19.799
Well,<00:21:19.019><c> life</c><00:21:19.200><c> isn't</c><00:21:19.480><c> tidy.</c>

00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:21.460
It's<00:21:20.400><c> simply</c><00:21:20.599><c> not</c><00:21:20.900><c> that</c><00:21:21.119><c> way.</c>

00:21:21.819 --> 00:21:30.779
And<00:21:22.140><c> the</c><00:21:22.359><c> New</c><00:21:22.539><c> Covenant</c><00:21:22.960><c> does</c><00:21:23.279><c> not</c><00:21:24.920><c> cater</c><00:21:25.420><c> to</c><00:21:25.900><c> that</c><00:21:26.880><c> kind</c><00:21:27.180><c> of</c><00:21:27.480><c> notion</c><00:21:27.740><c> that</c><00:21:27.940><c> says</c><00:21:28.099><c> everything</c><00:21:28.519><c> has</c><00:21:28.799><c> to</c><00:21:29.000><c> be</c><00:21:29.619><c> just</c><00:21:30.279><c> locked</c><00:21:30.460><c> up</c><00:21:30.680><c> a</c>

little,<00:21:31.279><c> you</c><00:21:31.759><c> know,</c><00:21:32.240><c> and</c><00:21:32.240><c> everybody</c><00:21:32.720><c> does</c><00:21:32.900><c> it</c><00:21:33.079><c> that</c><00:21:33.240><c> way.</c>

00:21:33.660 --> 00:21:36.079

00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:40.359
Well,<00:21:37.279><c> let's</c><00:21:37.539><c> look</c><00:21:37.720><c> at</c><00:21:37.819><c> a</c><00:21:37.960><c> couple</c><00:21:38.099><c> more</c><00:21:38.319><c> here.</c>

00:21:46.940 --> 00:21:47.759
Well,<00:21:47.160><c> what</c><00:21:47.319><c> does</c><00:21:47.420><c> that</c><00:21:47.660><c> mean?</c>

00:21:47.819 --> 00:21:48.740
A<00:21:47.960><c> growth.</c>

00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:53.619
There<00:21:49.759><c> are</c><00:21:49.859><c> many</c><00:21:50.099><c> metaphors</c><00:21:50.640><c> in</c><00:21:51.839><c> the</c><00:21:52.119><c> scripture</c><00:21:52.480><c> about</c><00:21:53.339><c> the</c>

00:21:54.619 --> 00:21:57.380
That<00:21:54.920><c> is</c><00:21:56.039><c> the</c><00:21:56.559><c> mustard</c><00:21:56.859><c> seed.</c>

00:21:57.460 --> 00:22:00.299
Remember<00:21:57.799><c> that</c><00:21:58.019><c> the</c><00:21:58.160><c> parable</c><00:21:58.420><c> of</c><00:21:58.579><c> the</c><00:21:58.759><c> mustard</c><00:21:58.980><c> seed,</c><00:21:59.700><c> the</c><00:21:59.819><c> smallest</c><00:22:00.099><c> of</c>

00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:09.299
Farmers<00:22:06.640><c> sowed</c><00:22:07.279><c> good</c><00:22:07.480><c> seed</c><00:22:07.759><c> on</c><00:22:07.960><c> the</c><00:22:08.180><c> soil</c><00:22:08.420><c> and</c><00:22:08.740><c> it</c><00:22:09.000><c> grew.</c>

00:22:09.559 --> 00:22:11.039
And<00:22:09.779><c> what</c><00:22:09.940><c> did</c><00:22:10.059><c> it</c><00:22:10.200><c> do?</c>

00:22:11.299 --> 00:22:14.700
It<00:22:11.519><c> produced</c><00:22:12.039><c> good</c><00:22:12.380><c> fruit</c><00:22:12.640><c> in</c><00:22:13.039><c> due</c><00:22:13.259><c> time.</c>

00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:15.680
Growth<00:22:14.980><c> means</c><00:22:15.339><c> change.</c>

00:22:15.819 --> 00:22:18.559
These<00:22:15.900><c> are</c><00:22:16.299><c> representative</c><00:22:16.920><c> representations</c><00:22:17.700><c> of</c><00:22:18.099><c> our</c><00:22:18.339><c> own</c>

00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:22.460
the<00:22:21.240><c> faith</c><00:22:21.480><c> we</c><00:22:22.079><c> grow.</c>

00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:24.140
And<00:22:23.160><c> as</c><00:22:23.259><c> you</c><00:22:23.440><c> grow,</c><00:22:23.640><c> you</c><00:22:23.819><c> change.</c>

00:22:24.140 --> 00:22:27.339
As<00:22:24.359><c> you</c><00:22:24.480><c> change,</c><00:22:25.319><c> your</c><00:22:25.960><c> behavior</c><00:22:26.460><c> changes,</c><00:22:26.839><c> your</c><00:22:27.019><c> attitude</c>

00:22:27.339 --> 00:22:28.619
changes,<00:22:27.680><c> your</c><00:22:27.880><c> service</c><00:22:28.220><c> changes.</c>

00:22:28.740 --> 00:22:35.359
And<00:22:28.819><c> the</c><00:22:28.859><c> idea</c><00:22:29.259><c> is</c><00:22:29.660><c> that</c><00:22:30.519><c> what</c><00:22:32.579><c> might</c><00:22:32.940><c> be</c><00:22:34.299><c> acceptable</c><00:22:34.920><c> for</c><00:22:35.099><c> me</c>

00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:39.579
today<00:22:36.119><c> might</c><00:22:37.440><c> be</c><00:22:37.920><c> wrong</c><00:22:38.200><c> for</c><00:22:38.460><c> me</c><00:22:38.740><c> a</c><00:22:38.920><c> year</c><00:22:39.079><c> from</c><00:22:39.339><c> now.</c>

00:22:39.700 --> 00:22:42.460
I<00:22:39.859><c> might</c><00:22:40.039><c> grow</c><00:22:40.240><c> up</c><00:22:40.420><c> and</c><00:22:40.559><c> find</c><00:22:40.819><c> out</c><00:22:41.380><c> that</c><00:22:41.619><c> say,</c><00:22:41.700><c> you</c><00:22:41.819><c> know,</c><00:22:42.339><c> the</c>

00:22:42.460 --> 00:22:44.259
way<00:22:42.619><c> I</c><00:22:42.759><c> was</c><00:22:42.980><c> behaving</c><00:22:43.279><c> back</c><00:22:43.640><c> then</c><00:22:43.759><c> wasn't</c><00:22:44.039><c> right.</c>

00:22:44.259 --> 00:22:46.140
I<00:22:44.440><c> can</c><00:22:44.619><c> do</c><00:22:44.779><c> better</c><00:22:45.019><c> than</c><00:22:45.279><c> that.</c>

00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:48.400
And<00:22:46.720><c> that's</c><00:22:47.079><c> what</c><00:22:47.140><c> God</c><00:22:47.319><c> expects</c><00:22:47.700><c> out</c><00:22:47.940><c> of</c><00:22:48.059><c> us,</c><00:22:48.319><c> too.</c>

00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:53.900
Each<00:22:48.700><c> one</c><00:22:48.839><c> of</c><00:22:48.980><c> us,</c><00:22:49.500><c> as</c><00:22:49.779><c> we</c><00:22:50.039><c> grow,</c><00:22:50.359><c> is</c><00:22:50.460><c> to</c><00:22:50.640><c> become</c><00:22:50.980><c> more</c><00:22:51.319><c> holy</c><00:22:51.640><c> and</c><00:22:52.519><c> offer</c><00:22:52.839><c> more</c><00:22:53.099><c> service</c><00:22:53.519><c> and</c><00:22:53.680><c> be</c>

00:22:53.900 --> 00:22:55.559
better<00:22:54.200><c> servants</c><00:22:54.519><c> of</c><00:22:54.740><c> him.</c>

00:22:55.700 --> 00:22:58.259
But<00:22:55.900><c> it's</c><00:22:56.019><c> not</c><00:22:56.180><c> that</c><00:22:56.319><c> he</c><00:22:56.460><c> rejects</c><00:22:56.920><c> us</c><00:22:57.240><c> when</c><00:22:57.440><c> we're</c><00:22:57.720><c> first</c><00:22:58.039><c> born.</c>

00:22:58.299 --> 00:23:00.480
We're<00:22:58.420><c> just</c><00:22:58.720><c> seeds</c><00:22:59.039><c> and</c><00:22:59.339><c> there's</c><00:22:59.480><c> not</c><00:22:59.619><c> much</c><00:22:59.799><c> he</c><00:22:59.960><c> can</c><00:23:00.160><c> expect.</c>

00:23:00.539 --> 00:23:01.240
We're<00:23:00.680><c> just</c><00:23:00.940><c> seedlings.</c>

00:23:01.299 --> 00:23:02.460
We're<00:23:01.440><c> just</c><00:23:01.779><c> babes.</c>

00:23:02.579 --> 00:23:04.859
He<00:23:02.799><c> talks</c><00:23:02.960><c> about,</c><00:23:03.319><c> you</c><00:23:03.500><c> know,</c><00:23:03.779><c> those</c><00:23:04.099><c> are</c><00:23:04.259><c> the</c><00:23:04.420><c> babes</c><00:23:04.640><c> in</c><00:23:04.720><c> the</c>

still<00:23:07.180><c> accepted.</c>

00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:09.980
Paul<00:23:07.880><c> says</c><00:23:08.079><c> it</c><00:23:08.259><c> right</c><00:23:08.380><c> in</c><00:23:08.480><c> Romans</c><00:23:08.640><c> 14,</c><00:23:09.259><c> except</c><00:23:09.420><c> the</c><00:23:09.579><c> man</c><00:23:09.700><c> who's</c>

00:23:12.099 --> 00:23:14.960
Welcome<00:23:12.559><c> him,</c><00:23:13.240><c> but</c><00:23:13.400><c> don't</c><00:23:13.559><c> get</c><00:23:13.720><c> into</c><00:23:13.900><c> arguments</c><00:23:14.259><c> about</c><00:23:14.539><c> him</c>

or<00:23:15.220><c> with</c><00:23:15.400><c> him.</c>

00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:21.119
Whereas<00:23:17.420><c> the</c><00:23:17.640><c> legal</c><00:23:17.859><c> mind</c><00:23:18.539><c> would</c><00:23:19.920><c> have</c><00:23:20.400><c> trouble</c><00:23:20.680><c> with</c><00:23:20.880><c> that</c>

00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:25.019
concept<00:23:21.720><c> because</c><00:23:23.059><c> one</c><00:23:23.480><c> thing</c><00:23:23.700><c> they</c><00:23:23.859><c> would</c><00:23:24.079><c> know</c><00:23:24.240><c> is</c><00:23:24.619><c> that</c><00:23:24.859><c> the</c>

00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:29.700
And<00:23:26.720><c> it</c><00:23:26.819><c> doesn't</c><00:23:27.099><c> change</c><00:23:27.539><c> because</c><00:23:27.859><c> if</c><00:23:28.500><c> there</c><00:23:28.680><c> is</c><00:23:28.900><c> indeed</c><00:23:29.119><c> something</c><00:23:29.460><c> out</c>

00:23:29.700 --> 00:23:33.259
there<00:23:29.819><c> that's</c><00:23:30.000><c> bad,</c><00:23:31.579><c> then</c><00:23:31.680><c> how</c><00:23:31.819><c> can</c><00:23:31.920><c> it</c><00:23:32.140><c> be</c><00:23:32.500><c> good</c><00:23:32.859><c> later?</c>

00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:35.599
How<00:23:33.880><c> can</c><00:23:34.119><c> your</c><00:23:34.420><c> attitude</c><00:23:34.960><c> towards</c><00:23:35.279><c> that</c><00:23:35.519><c> change?</c>

00:23:35.680 --> 00:23:37.720
Well,<00:23:35.819><c> attitude</c><00:23:36.119><c> didn't</c><00:23:36.319><c> even</c><00:23:36.619><c> count</c><00:23:37.119><c> to</c><00:23:37.460><c> them.</c>

00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:42.740

00:23:42.740 --> 00:23:45.279

00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:48.700

00:23:48.980 --> 00:23:53.220
Now,<00:23:49.799><c> a</c><00:23:50.119><c> parallel</c><00:23:50.400><c> we</c><00:23:50.599><c> might</c><00:23:50.799><c> have</c><00:23:51.079><c> today</c><00:23:51.720><c> would</c><00:23:52.160><c> be</c><00:23:52.380><c> the</c><00:23:52.579><c> concept</c><00:23:53.019><c> of,</c>

quote,<00:23:53.740><c> learning</c><00:23:54.180><c> the</c><00:23:54.740><c> truth.</c>

00:23:55.180 --> 00:23:56.240
We<00:23:55.539><c> use</c><00:23:55.740><c> that</c><00:23:56.019><c> phrase.</c>

00:23:56.500 --> 00:23:58.099
It's<00:23:56.799><c> not</c><00:23:56.940><c> a</c><00:23:57.220><c> favorite</c><00:23:57.460><c> phrase</c><00:23:57.700><c> of</c><00:23:57.920><c> mine.</c>

00:23:58.240 --> 00:23:59.960
In<00:23:58.240><c> fact,</c><00:23:58.400><c> I</c><00:23:58.559><c> avoid</c><00:23:58.779><c> saying</c><00:23:59.039><c> it</c><00:23:59.200><c> because</c><00:23:59.359><c> the</c><00:23:59.599><c> truth,</c><00:23:59.839><c> again,</c>

00:23:59.980 --> 00:24:00.980
is<00:24:00.140><c> not</c><00:24:00.339><c> something</c><00:24:00.579><c> we</c><00:24:00.839><c> learn.</c>

00:24:01.059 --> 00:24:02.539
It's<00:24:01.279><c> something</c><00:24:01.460><c> we</c><00:24:01.779><c> live.</c>

00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:05.599
We<00:24:02.900><c> learn</c><00:24:03.180><c> about</c><00:24:03.500><c> the</c><00:24:03.759><c> truth</c><00:24:04.079><c> and</c><00:24:04.420><c> we</c><00:24:04.640><c> learn</c><00:24:04.799><c> God's</c><00:24:05.279><c> plan.</c>

00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:06.640
We<00:24:05.940><c> know</c><00:24:06.119><c> those</c><00:24:06.380><c> things.</c>

00:24:06.859 --> 00:24:09.519
But<00:24:06.940><c> the</c><00:24:07.240><c> truth</c><00:24:07.480><c> itself</c><00:24:07.900><c> is</c><00:24:08.099><c> something</c><00:24:08.359><c> we</c><00:24:08.660><c> live.</c>

00:24:10.059 --> 00:24:12.759
But<00:24:10.240><c> it's</c><00:24:10.400><c> easy</c><00:24:10.640><c> to</c><00:24:10.839><c> fall</c><00:24:11.019><c> into</c><00:24:11.180><c> the</c><00:24:11.460><c> trap</c><00:24:11.680><c> of.</c>

00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:14.599
I<00:24:13.500><c> know</c><00:24:13.660><c> the</c><00:24:13.900><c> facts</c><00:24:14.099><c> about</c><00:24:14.380><c> God.</c>

00:24:14.700 --> 00:24:15.500
I<00:24:14.720><c> know</c><00:24:14.900><c> about</c><00:24:15.140><c> the</c><00:24:15.319><c> kingdom.</c>

00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:16.960
I've<00:24:15.759><c> been</c><00:24:15.900><c> baptized.</c>

00:24:17.019 --> 00:24:18.460
And<00:24:17.339><c> that's</c><00:24:17.700><c> the</c><00:24:17.759><c> end</c><00:24:17.859><c> of</c><00:24:18.000><c> the</c><00:24:18.119><c> program.</c>

00:24:18.579 --> 00:24:19.799
Now<00:24:18.740><c> I'm</c><00:24:18.799><c> just</c><00:24:19.000><c> waiting.</c>

00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:22.140
I'm<00:24:20.400><c> just</c><00:24:20.559><c> waiting</c><00:24:20.700><c> for</c><00:24:20.859><c> the</c><00:24:21.019><c> kingdom</c><00:24:21.200><c> to</c><00:24:21.440><c> come.</c>

00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:23.220
I<00:24:22.700><c> follow</c><00:24:22.900><c> the</c><00:24:23.059><c> rules.</c>

00:24:23.220 --> 00:24:27.880
I<00:24:23.339><c> go</c><00:24:23.480><c> to</c><00:24:23.619><c> meeting</c><00:24:23.859><c> and</c><00:24:24.400><c> we</c><00:24:24.660><c> stay</c><00:24:24.960><c> stuck</c><00:24:25.500><c> because</c><00:24:26.319><c> we'd</c><00:24:27.819><c> like</c>

00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:29.559
to<00:24:28.599><c> not</c><00:24:29.039><c> change.</c>

00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:30.700
Why?

00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:32.099
Why<00:24:31.200><c> don't</c><00:24:31.420><c> we</c><00:24:31.579><c> want</c><00:24:31.700><c> to</c><00:24:31.859><c> grow?</c>

00:24:32.259 --> 00:24:34.720
Because<00:24:32.619><c> the</c><00:24:32.900><c> concept</c><00:24:33.259><c> of</c><00:24:33.740><c> growing,</c><00:24:34.200><c> that</c><00:24:34.220><c> is,</c><00:24:34.500><c> individuals</c>

00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:38.559
growing,<00:24:35.160><c> implies</c><00:24:35.579><c> that</c><00:24:35.859><c> what</c><00:24:36.000><c> we</c><00:24:36.160><c> did</c><00:24:36.259><c> earlier</c><00:24:36.700><c> was</c><00:24:37.539><c> wrong.</c>

00:24:39.700 --> 00:24:42.259
If<00:24:39.920><c> you</c><00:24:40.099><c> change</c><00:24:40.279><c> your</c><00:24:40.500><c> mind</c><00:24:40.720><c> about</c><00:24:40.980><c> something,</c><00:24:41.460><c> it</c><00:24:41.660><c> means</c><00:24:41.880><c> that,</c><00:24:42.220><c> well,</c><00:24:42.220><c> I</c>

00:24:42.259 --> 00:24:43.559
was<00:24:42.400><c> wrong</c><00:24:42.579><c> before</c><00:24:42.880><c> and</c><00:24:42.880><c> now</c><00:24:43.059><c> I'm</c><00:24:43.240><c> right.</c>

00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:45.859
Or<00:24:44.339><c> at</c><00:24:44.460><c> least</c><00:24:44.640><c> now</c><00:24:44.839><c> I</c><00:24:44.920><c> see</c><00:24:45.059><c> things</c><00:24:45.279><c> a</c><00:24:45.319><c> little</c><00:24:45.480><c> better.</c>

00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:48.180
But<00:24:46.380><c> that</c><00:24:46.619><c> means</c><00:24:46.880><c> I</c><00:24:47.079><c> was</c><00:24:47.240><c> wrong</c><00:24:47.380><c> so</c><00:24:47.519><c> we</c><00:24:47.660><c> don't</c><00:24:47.779><c> like</c><00:24:47.880><c> to</c><00:24:48.039><c> change</c>

00:24:48.180 --> 00:24:49.660
our<00:24:48.359><c> mind</c><00:24:48.480><c> because</c><00:24:48.619><c> we</c><00:24:48.779><c> don't</c><00:24:48.960><c> like</c><00:24:49.099><c> to</c><00:24:49.220><c> admit</c><00:24:49.339><c> that.</c>

00:24:50.019 --> 00:24:52.519
Well,<00:24:50.180><c> that's</c><00:24:50.380><c> part</c><00:24:50.559><c> of</c><00:24:50.700><c> the</c><00:24:50.859><c> thinking</c><00:24:50.980><c> that</c><00:24:51.579><c> we</c><00:24:51.839><c> wrestle</c><00:24:52.140><c> with.</c>

00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:55.480
But<00:24:52.880><c> yet</c><00:24:53.059><c> that's</c><00:24:53.500><c> the</c><00:24:53.700><c> thinking</c><00:24:53.859><c> that</c><00:24:54.059><c> is</c><00:24:54.480><c> demanded</c><00:24:54.819><c> by</c><00:24:55.160><c> the</c>

00:24:55.480 --> 00:24:56.900

00:24:59.819 --> 00:25:02.759
Well,<00:25:00.940><c> you</c><00:25:01.119><c> really</c><00:25:01.359><c> like</c><00:25:01.559><c> this</c><00:25:01.900><c> next</c><00:25:02.200><c> word</c><00:25:02.380><c> here.</c>

00:25:03.259 --> 00:25:05.140
If<00:25:03.440><c> you</c><00:25:03.579><c> haven't</c><00:25:03.720><c> learned</c><00:25:03.920><c> a</c><00:25:04.059><c> new</c><00:25:04.200><c> word</c><00:25:04.359><c> yet,</c><00:25:04.640><c> I</c><00:25:04.759><c> guarantee</c>

00:25:05.140 --> 00:25:08.420
you<00:25:05.799><c> this</c><00:25:06.180><c> one</c><00:25:06.319><c> will</c><00:25:06.519><c> probably</c><00:25:06.720><c> get</c><00:25:06.940><c> you.</c>

00:25:09.160 --> 00:25:09.960
Stenosis.<00:25:09.559><c> Whoa.</c>

00:25:10.220 --> 00:25:11.299
What<00:25:10.440><c> does</c><00:25:10.700><c> that</c><00:25:11.039><c> mean?</c>

00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:12.900
I'll<00:25:11.599><c> bet</c><00:25:11.640><c> you</c><00:25:11.880><c> probably</c><00:25:12.180><c> know.</c>

00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:17.319
Does<00:25:15.940><c> anybody</c><00:25:16.059><c> know</c><00:25:16.200><c> what</c><00:25:16.279><c> that</c><00:25:16.460><c> word</c><00:25:16.579><c> means?</c>

00:25:21.180 --> 00:25:23.460
It's<00:25:21.579><c> actually</c><00:25:21.859><c> derived</c><00:25:22.220><c> from</c><00:25:22.420><c> a</c><00:25:22.579><c> Greek</c><00:25:22.700><c> word</c><00:25:22.880><c> that</c><00:25:23.079><c> is</c><00:25:23.279><c> used</c>

00:25:23.460 --> 00:25:24.099
in<00:25:23.619><c> the</c><00:25:23.779><c> Bible.</c>

00:25:24.099 --> 00:25:29.140
It<00:25:24.480><c> means</c><00:25:25.119><c> narrowing,</c><00:25:27.299><c> sometimes</c><00:25:27.599><c> using</c><00:25:27.819><c> medical</c><00:25:28.200><c> terms</c><00:25:28.559><c> when</c><00:25:28.900><c> the</c>

00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:33.660
It's<00:25:32.279><c> called</c><00:25:32.500><c> stenosis.</c>

00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:37.359
Or<00:25:34.039><c> you've</c><00:25:34.279><c> heard</c><00:25:34.380><c> of</c><00:25:34.519><c> something</c><00:25:34.740><c> called</c><00:25:35.099><c> stenography,</c><00:25:36.480><c> shorthand,</c><00:25:37.079><c> where</c><00:25:37.220><c> you</c>

00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:39.619
take<00:25:37.539><c> words</c><00:25:37.799><c> and</c><00:25:38.000><c> you</c><00:25:38.160><c> compress</c><00:25:38.460><c> them</c><00:25:38.920><c> into</c><00:25:39.119><c> little</c><00:25:39.319><c> symbols.</c>

00:25:39.980 --> 00:25:42.259
That's<00:25:40.200><c> where</c><00:25:40.319><c> the</c><00:25:40.380><c> word</c><00:25:40.559><c> stenography</c><00:25:41.220><c> comes</c><00:25:41.480><c> from.</c>

00:25:42.660 --> 00:25:46.980
Well,<00:25:44.420><c> Paul</c><00:25:44.599><c> talks</c><00:25:44.920><c> a</c><00:25:45.000><c> lot</c><00:25:45.099><c> about</c><00:25:45.339><c> freedom</c><00:25:45.680><c> in</c><00:25:45.980><c> Christ.</c>

00:25:48.099 --> 00:25:50.940
And<00:25:48.319><c> this</c><00:25:48.460><c> was</c><00:25:48.599><c> an</c><00:25:48.920><c> opposite</c><00:25:49.220><c> concept</c><00:25:49.720><c> to</c><00:25:49.880><c> the</c><00:25:50.000><c> law,</c><00:25:50.220><c> which</c><00:25:50.460><c> tended</c><00:25:50.740><c> to</c>

00:25:50.940 --> 00:25:53.099
make<00:25:51.039><c> people</c><00:25:51.319><c> very</c><00:25:51.720><c> restricted,</c><00:25:52.759><c> boxed</c><00:25:53.000><c> in,</c>

00:25:53.099 --> 00:25:57.240
what<00:25:53.259><c> I</c><00:25:53.500><c> call</c><00:25:53.640><c> just</c><00:25:54.299><c> stenotic</c><00:25:56.220><c> people.</c>

00:25:58.619 --> 00:26:00.839

It<00:28:17.619><c> says,</c><00:28:18.420><c> he</c><00:28:18.420><c> told</c><00:28:19.140><c> a</c><00:28:19.759><c> parable</c><00:28:20.660><c> to</c><00:28:21.180><c> some</c><00:28:21.539><c> who</c><00:28:21.839><c> trusted</c><00:28:22.160><c> in</c><00:28:22.400><c> themselves</c><00:28:22.859><c> that</c><00:28:23.059><c> they</c><00:28:23.259><c> were</c><00:28:23.460><c> righteous</c><00:28:23.859><c> and</c>

00:28:24.119 --> 00:28:24.720
despised<00:28:24.480><c> other.</c>

00:28:25.180 --> 00:28:27.000
And<00:28:25.319><c> then</c><00:28:25.480><c> it</c><00:28:25.559><c> talks</c><00:28:25.700><c> about</c><00:28:25.940><c> two</c><00:28:26.119><c> men</c><00:28:26.279><c> going</c><00:28:26.480><c> up</c><00:28:26.660><c> to</c><00:28:26.799><c> pray</c><00:28:26.900><c> at</c>

00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:27.920
the<00:28:27.140><c> temple.</c>

00:28:29.180 --> 00:28:31.299
Now,<00:28:29.180><c> point</c><00:28:29.599><c> out</c><00:28:29.799><c> two</c><00:28:30.099><c> things</c><00:28:30.380><c> about</c><00:28:30.700><c> understanding</c><00:28:31.160><c> this.</c>

00:28:31.339 --> 00:28:33.799
First<00:28:31.559><c> of</c><00:28:31.660><c> all,</c><00:28:31.740><c> I</c><00:28:31.839><c> said</c><00:28:31.880><c> it's</c><00:28:32.059><c> a</c><00:28:32.299><c> parable.</c>

00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:37.160
But<00:28:34.619><c> yet,</c><00:28:34.920><c> I</c><00:28:35.079><c> would</c><00:28:35.319><c> find</c><00:28:35.579><c> that</c><00:28:35.740><c> this</c><00:28:36.059><c> probably</c><00:28:36.480><c> really</c><00:28:36.839><c> happened.</c>

00:28:37.460 --> 00:28:39.299
This<00:28:37.859><c> is</c><00:28:38.059><c> a</c><00:28:38.119><c> very</c><00:28:38.400><c> real</c><00:28:38.660><c> to</c><00:28:38.819><c> life</c><00:28:39.000><c> thing.</c>

00:28:39.519 --> 00:28:41.039
He's<00:28:39.779><c> not</c><00:28:39.980><c> saying,</c><00:28:40.220><c> oh,</c><00:28:40.400><c> I</c><00:28:40.500><c> know</c><00:28:40.640><c> two</c><00:28:40.819><c> guys.</c>

00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:41.759
I<00:28:41.200><c> actually</c><00:28:41.400><c> heard</c><00:28:41.579><c> this.</c>

00:28:41.779 --> 00:28:43.160
It's<00:28:42.000><c> not</c><00:28:42.160><c> based</c><00:28:42.440><c> on</c><00:28:42.579><c> a</c><00:28:42.680><c> real</c><00:28:42.799><c> life</c><00:28:42.980><c> incident.</c>

00:28:43.160 --> 00:28:46.440
But<00:28:43.319><c> this</c><00:28:43.660><c> is</c><00:28:44.079><c> exactly</c><00:28:44.500><c> what</c><00:28:44.920><c> he's</c><00:28:45.119><c> getting</c><00:28:45.359><c> at</c><00:28:45.579><c> to</c><00:28:45.779><c> think.</c>

00:28:46.779 --> 00:28:54.279
The<00:28:46.960><c> other</c><00:28:47.440><c> way</c><00:28:47.740><c> to</c><00:28:47.859><c> look</c><00:28:48.059><c> at</c><00:28:48.220><c> this</c><00:28:48.460><c> is</c><00:28:49.180><c> imagine</c><00:28:50.019><c> that</c><00:28:50.900><c> we're</c><00:28:51.180><c> actually</c><00:28:51.740><c> seeing</c><00:28:52.299><c> this</c><00:28:52.680><c> right</c><00:28:52.980><c> now</c><00:28:53.539><c> on</c><00:28:54.059><c> a</c>

00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:56.420
movie<00:28:54.619><c> or</c><00:28:54.859><c> a</c><00:28:55.140><c> video.</c>

00:28:57.140 --> 00:28:58.960
And<00:28:57.359><c> there's</c><00:28:57.640><c> no</c><00:28:58.240><c> sound.</c>

00:28:59.000 --> 00:29:00.980
You're<00:28:59.140><c> just</c><00:28:59.480><c> watching</c><00:28:59.819><c> the</c><00:29:00.099><c> action.</c>

00:29:02.539 --> 00:29:04.059
So<00:29:03.099><c> here</c><00:29:03.420><c> is</c><00:29:03.579><c> a</c><00:29:03.779><c> video.</c>

00:29:04.460 --> 00:29:06.220
And<00:29:04.460><c> you</c><00:29:04.960><c> see</c><00:29:05.220><c> two</c><00:29:05.559><c> people.</c>

00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:07.619
And<00:29:06.819><c> they</c><00:29:06.900><c> go</c><00:29:07.039><c> into</c><00:29:07.200><c> the</c><00:29:07.420><c> temple.</c>

00:29:07.619 --> 00:29:08.240
And<00:29:07.740><c> they're</c><00:29:07.920><c> praying.</c>

00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:10.579
And<00:29:08.500><c> that's</c><00:29:08.660><c> all</c><00:29:08.819><c> you</c><00:29:08.960><c> know</c><00:29:09.099><c> about</c><00:29:09.339><c> it.</c>

00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:17.400
And<00:29:12.759><c> if</c><00:29:13.200><c> that's</c><00:29:13.480><c> all</c><00:29:13.619><c> you</c><00:29:13.880><c> saw,</c><00:29:15.640><c> or</c><00:29:15.759><c> if</c><00:29:15.920><c> someone</c><00:29:16.140><c> said</c><00:29:16.359><c> two</c><00:29:16.579><c> people</c><00:29:16.859><c> went</c><00:29:17.059><c> into</c><00:29:17.259><c> a</c>

00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:20.359
temple<00:29:17.599><c> to</c><00:29:17.880><c> pray,</c><00:29:18.799><c> what's</c><00:29:19.440><c> your</c><00:29:19.579><c> opinion</c><00:29:19.900><c> about</c><00:29:20.200><c> that?</c>

00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:21.640
I<00:29:20.400><c> said,</c><00:29:20.480><c> well,</c><00:29:20.619><c> that's</c><00:29:20.839><c> a</c><00:29:20.880><c> good</c><00:29:21.039><c> thing</c><00:29:21.200><c> to</c><00:29:21.380><c> do.</c>

00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:25.160
Praying<00:29:21.980><c> is</c><00:29:22.180><c> a</c><00:29:22.279><c> good</c><00:29:22.400><c> thing</c><00:29:22.559><c> to</c><00:29:22.759><c> do,</c><00:29:24.140><c> right?</c>

00:29:25.180 --> 00:29:27.660
The<00:29:25.539><c> praying</c><00:29:25.799><c> is</c><00:29:26.140><c> just,</c><00:29:26.519><c> as</c><00:29:26.779><c> we</c><00:29:26.960><c> say,</c><00:29:27.200><c> a</c><00:29:27.380><c> behavior.</c>

00:29:27.779 --> 00:29:29.440
It's<00:29:28.000><c> the</c><00:29:28.259><c> external</c><00:29:28.680><c> thing.</c>

00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:31.759
It's<00:29:30.559><c> the</c><00:29:30.720><c> thing</c><00:29:30.839><c> you</c><00:29:31.019><c> can</c><00:29:31.420><c> see.</c>

00:29:31.839 --> 00:29:32.559
It's<00:29:32.099><c> an</c><00:29:32.279><c> action.</c>

00:29:32.660 --> 00:29:33.660
It's<00:29:32.920><c> not</c><00:29:33.099><c> an</c><00:29:33.319><c> attitude.</c>

00:29:33.900 --> 00:29:37.640
And<00:29:34.079><c> we</c><00:29:34.200><c> find</c><00:29:34.500><c> out</c><00:29:34.779><c> that</c><00:29:34.940><c> even</c><00:29:35.079><c> though</c><00:29:35.259><c> they</c><00:29:35.420><c> both</c><00:29:35.579><c> went</c><00:29:35.779><c> to</c><00:29:36.079><c> pray,</c><00:29:37.039><c> only</c><00:29:37.319><c> one</c><00:29:37.519><c> of</c>

00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:39.359
them<00:29:37.700><c> was</c><00:29:37.940><c> really</c><00:29:38.319><c> praying,</c><00:29:38.920><c> right?</c>

00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:41.759
It<00:29:39.480><c> was</c><00:29:39.660><c> their</c><00:29:39.900><c> attitude</c><00:29:40.259><c> that</c><00:29:40.480><c> made</c><00:29:40.619><c> the</c><00:29:40.819><c> difference.</c>

00:29:42.660 --> 00:29:45.220
One,<00:29:43.059><c> the</c><00:29:43.259><c> Pharisee,</c><00:29:44.259><c> he</c><00:29:44.619><c> said</c><00:29:44.839><c> this.</c>

00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:50.859
I<00:29:45.539><c> thank</c><00:29:45.839><c> thee</c><00:29:46.000><c> that</c><00:29:46.160><c> I</c><00:29:46.339><c> am</c><00:29:46.519><c> not</c><00:29:46.880><c> like</c><00:29:47.299><c> other</c><00:29:47.619><c> men,</c><00:29:48.240><c> extortioners,</c><00:29:49.160><c> unjust,</c><00:29:50.220><c> adulterers,</c><00:29:50.720><c> or</c>

00:29:50.859 --> 00:29:53.680
even<00:29:51.059><c> like</c><00:29:51.359><c> this</c><00:29:52.180><c> tax</c><00:29:52.640><c> collector.</c>

00:29:53.980 --> 00:29:55.740
I<00:29:54.519><c> fast</c><00:29:54.880><c> twice</c><00:29:55.279><c> a</c><00:29:55.519><c> week.</c>

00:29:55.839 --> 00:29:58.319
I<00:29:56.240><c> give</c><00:29:56.480><c> tithes</c><00:29:57.000><c> of</c><00:29:57.119><c> all</c><00:29:57.259><c> that</c><00:29:57.420><c> I</c><00:29:57.559><c> get.</c>

00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:01.339
So<00:29:59.559><c> what</c><00:30:00.119><c> did</c><00:30:00.279><c> he</c><00:30:00.519><c> think?</c>

00:30:01.660 --> 00:30:03.220
Well,<00:30:02.000><c> I've</c><00:30:02.279><c> done</c><00:30:02.400><c> the</c><00:30:02.599><c> right</c><00:30:02.759><c> rituals.</c>

00:30:03.220 --> 00:30:09.160
I<00:30:03.440><c> do</c><00:30:03.880><c> my</c><00:30:04.200><c> fast</c><00:30:04.539><c> and</c><00:30:04.940><c> I</c><00:30:05.059><c> do</c><00:30:05.299><c> my</c><00:30:08.099><c> alms.</c>

00:30:09.240 --> 00:30:10.660
I<00:30:09.539><c> give</c><00:30:09.640><c> my</c><00:30:09.880><c> tithes,</c><00:30:10.200><c> right?</c>

00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:11.940
And<00:30:11.119><c> he</c><00:30:11.279><c> follows</c><00:30:11.440><c> the</c><00:30:11.680><c> laws.</c>

00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:15.579
He<00:30:12.160><c> said,</c><00:30:13.119><c> I</c><00:30:13.220><c> don't</c><00:30:13.660><c> do</c><00:30:13.940><c> things</c><00:30:14.220><c> like</c><00:30:14.460><c> other</c><00:30:14.759><c> people</c><00:30:15.039><c> do.</c>

00:30:15.819 --> 00:30:17.019
I'm<00:30:16.019><c> not</c><00:30:16.259><c> an</c><00:30:16.400><c> adulterer.</c>

00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:19.000
I've<00:30:17.460><c> never</c><00:30:17.700><c> committed</c><00:30:18.019><c> adultery.</c>

00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:22.200
Now,<00:30:19.859><c> what</c><00:30:19.940><c> he</c><00:30:20.160><c> thought</c><00:30:20.339><c> in</c><00:30:20.460><c> his</c><00:30:20.720><c> mind</c><00:30:20.900><c> was</c><00:30:21.140><c> not</c><00:30:21.400><c> relevant</c><00:30:21.720><c> because</c><00:30:22.019><c> he</c>

00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:24.279
didn't<00:30:22.380><c> commit</c><00:30:22.660><c> it,</c><00:30:22.799><c> and</c><00:30:22.920><c> that's</c><00:30:23.279><c> the</c><00:30:23.380><c> only</c><00:30:23.519><c> thing</c><00:30:23.700><c> that</c><00:30:23.839><c> was</c><00:30:24.019><c> important.</c>

00:30:24.319 --> 00:30:26.799
I<00:30:24.519><c> follow</c><00:30:24.720><c> the</c><00:30:24.900><c> rules</c><00:30:25.180><c> and</c><00:30:25.359><c> I</c><00:30:25.519><c> do</c><00:30:25.640><c> the</c><00:30:25.779><c> right</c><00:30:25.900><c> rituals.</c>

00:30:27.380 --> 00:30:30.180
I<00:30:27.859><c> avoid</c><00:30:28.339><c> the</c><00:30:29.380><c> external</c><00:30:29.900><c> evil.</c>

00:30:30.220 --> 00:30:31.660
I<00:30:30.359><c> don't</c><00:30:30.579><c> talk</c><00:30:30.859><c> to</c><00:30:31.059><c> tax</c><00:30:31.359><c> collectors.</c>

00:33:23.400 --> 00:33:24.299

00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:32.500
That's<00:33:31.559><c> just,</c><00:33:31.799><c> you</c><00:33:32.039><c> know,</c><00:33:32.099><c> it's</c><00:33:32.200><c> not</c><00:33:32.299><c> doing.</c>

00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:39.500

00:33:39.980 --> 00:33:48.019
Well,<00:33:42.640><c> then</c><00:33:42.779><c> he</c><00:33:42.920><c> said,</c><00:33:45.059><c> OK,</c><00:33:47.180><c> I'll</c><00:33:47.480><c> love</c><00:33:47.599><c> my</c><00:33:47.819><c> neighbor.</c>

00:33:48.180 --> 00:33:48.759
I'll<00:33:48.259><c> love</c><00:33:48.380><c> my</c><00:33:48.599><c> God.</c>

00:33:48.839 --> 00:33:50.180
But<00:33:48.980><c> tell</c><00:33:49.140><c> me</c><00:33:49.339><c> this.</c>

00:33:50.579 --> 00:33:52.059
Who<00:33:50.799><c> is</c><00:33:51.079><c> my</c><00:33:51.220><c> neighbor?</c>

00:33:52.339 --> 00:33:55.079
Says<00:33:52.500><c> he,</c><00:33:52.740><c> desiring</c><00:33:53.140><c> to</c><00:33:53.380><c> justify</c><00:33:53.779><c> himself,</c><00:33:54.480><c> said</c><00:33:54.599><c> to</c><00:33:54.799><c> Jesus,</c>

00:33:57.000 --> 00:33:59.559
I<00:33:57.160><c> think</c><00:33:57.359><c> I</c><00:33:57.460><c> know</c><00:33:57.559><c> who</c><00:33:57.700><c> my</c><00:33:57.839><c> God</c><00:33:58.039><c> is,</c><00:33:58.220><c> but</c><00:33:58.319><c> I'm</c><00:33:58.480><c> not</c><00:33:58.740><c> sure</c><00:33:58.960><c> about</c>

00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:01.480
who<00:33:59.880><c> my</c><00:34:00.119><c> neighbor</c><00:34:00.339><c> is.</c>

00:34:01.619 --> 00:34:03.460
And<00:34:02.059><c> I</c><00:34:02.220><c> want</c><00:34:02.359><c> a</c><00:34:02.500><c> definition.</c>

00:34:07.259 --> 00:34:09.400
Because<00:34:07.619><c> if</c><00:34:07.980><c> you</c><00:34:08.139><c> can</c><00:34:08.219><c> tell</c><00:34:08.300><c> me</c><00:34:08.380><c> who</c><00:34:08.500><c> my</c><00:34:08.659><c> neighbor</c><00:34:08.880><c> is,</c><00:34:09.239><c> then</c><00:34:09.300><c> I</c>

00:34:09.400 --> 00:34:10.360
might<00:34:09.559><c> ask</c><00:34:09.739><c> the</c><00:34:09.880><c> next</c><00:34:10.059><c> question,</c>

00:34:10.500 --> 00:34:12.639

00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:18.099
So<00:34:16.539><c> he</c><00:34:16.659><c> wanted</c><00:34:16.880><c> a</c><00:34:17.119><c> definition.</c>

00:34:18.719 --> 00:34:19.920
You<00:34:18.960><c> have</c><00:34:19.000><c> this</c><00:34:19.159><c> precise</c><00:34:19.539><c> definition.</c>

00:34:19.980 --> 00:34:20.500

That's<00:34:34.800><c> the</c><00:34:34.960><c> kind</c><00:34:35.159><c> of</c><00:34:35.340><c> thing</c><00:34:35.440><c> he</c><00:34:35.599><c> was</c><00:34:35.760><c> fishing</c><00:34:36.000><c> for.</c>

Well,<00:34:42.099><c> Jesus</c><00:34:42.380><c> tells</c><00:34:42.619><c> the</c><00:34:42.860><c> parable.</c>

00:35:05.860 --> 00:35:07.960
Jesus<00:35:06.099><c> says,</c><00:35:06.320><c> well,</c><00:35:06.460><c> think</c><00:35:06.639><c> about</c><00:35:06.920><c> this.</c>

00:35:08.099 --> 00:35:11.380
There's<00:35:08.219><c> a</c><00:35:08.340><c> man</c><00:35:08.559><c> lying</c><00:35:08.900><c> on</c><00:35:09.139><c> a</c><00:35:09.260><c> road</c><00:35:09.440><c> who's</c><00:35:09.780><c> badly</c><00:35:10.059><c> in</c><00:35:10.280><c> need</c><00:35:10.360><c> of</c><00:35:10.559><c> help.</c>

00:35:12.039 --> 00:35:12.860
He<00:35:12.260><c> has</c><00:35:12.420><c> been</c><00:35:12.599><c> beaten.</c>

00:35:12.900 --> 00:35:14.219
He's<00:35:13.079><c> been</c><00:35:13.320><c> robbed.</c>

00:35:14.699 --> 00:35:16.260
And<00:35:15.059><c> three</c><00:35:15.219><c> people</c><00:35:15.480><c> go</c><00:35:15.719><c> past</c><00:35:16.079><c> him.</c>

00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:18.099
The<00:35:16.440><c> first</c><00:35:16.699><c> one</c><00:35:16.880><c> is</c><00:35:17.059><c> a</c><00:35:17.260><c> priest.</c>

00:35:18.239 --> 00:35:20.880
And<00:35:18.380><c> the</c><00:35:18.579><c> priest</c><00:35:18.840><c> looks</c><00:35:19.099><c> at</c><00:35:19.340><c> him</c><00:35:19.480><c> and</c><00:35:19.579><c> says,</c><00:35:19.880><c> unclean</c><00:35:20.300><c> and</c><00:35:20.500><c> walks</c><00:35:20.679><c> the</c>

00:35:20.880 --> 00:35:21.940
other<00:35:21.039><c> way.</c>

00:35:22.260 --> 00:35:22.599
Why?

00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:26.159
Because<00:35:22.860><c> the</c><00:35:23.119><c> priest</c><00:35:23.420><c> was</c><00:35:23.800><c> afraid</c><00:35:24.139><c> of</c><00:35:24.400><c> external</c><00:35:24.840><c> contamination.</c>

00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:28.519
A<00:35:26.699><c> Levi</c><00:35:26.960><c> comes</c><00:35:27.280><c> by</c><00:35:27.519><c> and</c><00:35:27.619><c> he</c><00:35:27.760><c> does</c><00:35:27.880><c> the</c><00:35:28.099><c> same</c><00:35:28.280><c> thing.</c>

00:35:28.519 --> 00:35:30.980
They<00:35:28.719><c> say,</c><00:35:30.079><c> uh</c><00:35:30.199><c>-uh.</c>

00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:37.940
It<00:35:31.539><c> says</c><00:35:31.780><c> specifically,</c><00:35:33.880><c> verse</c><00:35:34.059><c> 31,</c><00:35:36.059><c> now</c><00:35:36.340><c> by</c><00:35:36.760><c> chance</c><00:35:37.159><c> the</c><00:35:37.440><c> priest</c><00:35:37.699><c> was</c>

00:35:37.940 --> 00:35:39.019
going<00:35:38.159><c> down</c><00:35:38.539><c> that</c><00:35:38.800><c> road.</c>

00:35:39.039 --> 00:35:40.340
It<00:35:39.159><c> wasn't</c><00:35:39.400><c> by</c><00:35:39.679><c> chance,</c><00:35:39.940><c> actually.</c>

00:35:40.659 --> 00:35:43.079
That's<00:35:41.179><c> an</c><00:35:41.719><c> awkward</c><00:35:42.019><c> translation.</c>

00:35:43.199 --> 00:35:44.260
It<00:35:43.420><c> wasn't</c><00:35:43.920><c> chance.</c>

00:35:44.500 --> 00:35:45.659
The<00:35:44.699><c> priest</c><00:35:44.980><c> was</c><00:35:45.199><c> there.</c>

00:35:45.980 --> 00:35:48.139
The<00:35:46.159><c> man</c><00:35:46.360><c> was</c><00:35:46.539><c> there</c><00:35:46.739><c> appointed</c><00:35:47.039><c> by</c><00:35:47.260><c> God.</c>

00:35:49.699 --> 00:35:54.579
And<00:35:50.039><c> when</c><00:35:50.320><c> he</c><00:35:50.639><c> saw</c><00:35:51.039><c> him,</c><00:35:52.039><c> he</c><00:35:52.420><c> passed</c><00:35:52.860><c> by</c><00:35:53.280><c> on</c><00:35:53.679><c> the</c><00:35:53.920><c> other</c><00:35:54.239><c> side.</c>

00:35:54.739 --> 00:35:56.760
In<00:35:54.920><c> other</c><00:35:55.159><c> words,</c><00:35:55.320><c> he's</c><00:35:55.500><c> walking</c><00:35:55.800><c> down</c><00:35:55.960><c> the</c><00:35:56.159><c> road</c><00:35:56.260><c> and</c><00:35:56.380><c> he</c><00:35:56.480><c> sees</c><00:35:56.559><c> the</c>

00:35:56.760 --> 00:35:58.099
man<00:35:56.880><c> there</c><00:35:57.039><c> and</c><00:35:57.099><c> he</c><00:35:57.300><c> sees</c><00:35:57.519><c> him.</c>

00:35:58.099 --> 00:36:00.380
And<00:35:58.639><c> it's</c><00:35:59.019><c> not</c><00:35:59.219><c> enough</c><00:35:59.360><c> that</c><00:35:59.480><c> he</c><00:35:59.519><c> just</c><00:35:59.800><c> walks</c><00:35:59.980><c> past</c><00:36:00.300><c> him.</c>

00:36:00.380 --> 00:36:04.199
He<00:36:00.519><c> goes</c><00:36:01.059><c> to</c><00:36:01.320><c> the</c><00:36:01.440><c> other</c><00:36:01.679><c> side</c><00:36:01.860><c> of</c><00:36:01.980><c> the</c><00:36:02.159><c> road</c><00:36:02.659><c> and</c><00:36:03.500><c> walks</c><00:36:03.820><c> this</c>

00:36:04.199 --> 00:36:07.000
way,<00:36:04.860><c> keeping</c><00:36:05.099><c> a</c><00:36:05.320><c> good</c><00:36:05.539><c> distance</c><00:36:05.900><c> just</c><00:36:06.260><c> in</c><00:36:06.460><c> case.</c>

00:36:07.320 --> 00:36:09.360
Remember,<00:36:08.440><c> just</c><00:36:08.739><c> in</c><00:36:08.960><c> case.</c>

00:36:09.480 --> 00:36:12.019
The<00:36:09.679><c> wind</c><00:36:09.780><c> might</c><00:36:10.000><c> blow</c><00:36:10.219><c> up</c><00:36:10.440><c> and</c><00:36:10.699><c> blow</c><00:36:10.980><c> a</c><00:36:11.219><c> spot</c><00:36:11.440><c> of</c><00:36:11.599><c> his</c><00:36:11.800><c> blood</c>

00:36:12.019 --> 00:36:13.199
on<00:36:12.239><c> me</c><00:36:12.400><c> or</c><00:36:12.519><c> something</c><00:36:12.780><c> like</c><00:36:13.039><c> that.</c>

00:36:13.199 --> 00:36:14.300
You<00:36:13.320><c> can't</c><00:36:13.599><c> be</c><00:36:13.739><c> too</c><00:36:13.980><c> sure.</c>

00:36:14.539 --> 00:36:17.000
We'll<00:36:14.980><c> keep</c><00:36:15.239><c> the</c><00:36:15.480><c> margin,</c><00:36:15.880><c> that</c><00:36:16.059><c> buffer</c><00:36:16.320><c> zone,</c><00:36:16.579><c> so</c><00:36:16.719><c> I</c><00:36:16.840><c> don't</c>

00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:20.219
get<00:36:17.300><c> contaminated</c><00:36:17.940><c> by</c><00:36:18.579><c> this</c><00:36:18.880><c> man's</c><00:36:19.460><c> blood.</c>

00:36:20.280 --> 00:36:21.760
Can't<00:36:20.519><c> even</c><00:36:20.739><c> tell</c><00:36:20.860><c> if</c><00:36:20.920><c> he's</c><00:36:21.139><c> alive</c><00:36:21.360><c> or</c><00:36:21.519><c> dead.</c>

00:36:21.760 --> 00:36:22.619
It<00:36:21.860><c> says</c><00:36:21.980><c> he's</c><00:36:22.260><c> half</c><00:36:22.480><c> dead.</c>

00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:23.480
He<00:36:22.760><c> looked</c><00:36:22.880><c> like</c><00:36:23.099><c> a</c><00:36:23.239><c> mess.</c>

00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:24.900
I'm<00:36:24.099><c> not</c><00:36:24.179><c> going</c><00:36:24.320><c> to</c><00:36:24.380><c> make</c><00:36:24.500><c> that</c><00:36:24.699><c> judgment.</c>

00:36:25.260 --> 00:36:26.280
Stay<00:36:25.480><c> away.</c>

00:36:26.420 --> 00:36:29.780
And<00:36:26.900><c> likewise,</c><00:36:27.679><c> Levite,</c><00:36:28.360><c> exactly</c><00:36:28.820><c> the</c><00:36:29.099><c> same</c><00:36:29.340><c> thing.</c>

00:36:30.179 --> 00:36:32.739
He<00:36:30.320><c> came</c><00:36:30.519><c> to</c><00:36:30.679><c> the</c><00:36:30.840><c> place,</c><00:36:31.019><c> saw</c><00:36:31.239><c> the</c><00:36:31.440><c> man,</c><00:36:31.659><c> and</c><00:36:31.800><c> passed</c><00:36:32.099><c> by</c><00:36:32.360><c> on</c>

00:36:32.739 --> 00:36:33.639
the<00:36:32.940><c> other</c><00:36:33.340><c> side.</c>

00:36:33.719 --> 00:36:38.559
Not<00:36:33.860><c> just</c><00:36:34.099><c> walked</c><00:36:34.360><c> past,</c><00:36:35.940><c> but</c><00:36:36.400><c> detoured</c><00:36:37.159><c> to</c><00:36:37.480><c> make</c><00:36:37.739><c> sure</c><00:36:37.980><c> that</c>

00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:40.280
he<00:36:38.739><c> wouldn't</c><00:36:38.960><c> come</c><00:36:39.199><c> near</c><00:36:39.380><c> the</c><00:36:39.559><c> man.</c>

00:36:41.820 --> 00:36:43.739
So<00:36:41.980><c> then</c><00:36:42.179><c> a</c><00:36:42.340><c> Samaritan</c><00:36:42.719><c> comes.</c>

00:36:44.940 --> 00:36:46.699
And<00:36:45.059><c> the</c><00:36:45.219><c> Samaritan</c><00:36:45.619><c> does</c><00:36:45.920><c> what?</c>

00:36:46.820 --> 00:36:47.679
He<00:36:47.079><c> takes</c><00:36:47.280><c> care</c><00:36:47.480><c> of</c><00:36:47.599><c> him.</c>

00:36:47.820 --> 00:36:48.519
It<00:36:47.860><c> was</c><00:36:47.960><c> the</c><00:36:48.159><c> obvious</c><00:36:48.280><c> thing.</c>

00:36:48.599 --> 00:36:49.719
This<00:36:48.780><c> guy's</c><00:36:49.039><c> in</c><00:36:49.139><c> bad</c><00:36:49.320><c> shape.</c>

00:36:50.039 --> 00:36:51.280
He<00:36:50.179><c> needs</c><00:36:50.360><c> help.</c>

00:36:51.940 --> 00:36:53.719
He<00:36:52.260><c> cleans</c><00:36:52.539><c> his</c><00:36:52.800><c> wounds.</c>

00:36:54.559 --> 00:36:56.119
He<00:36:54.960><c> binds</c><00:36:55.260><c> him</c><00:36:55.500><c> up.</c>

00:36:56.519 --> 00:36:58.019
He<00:36:56.659><c> pours</c><00:36:56.980><c> on</c><00:36:57.119><c> oil</c><00:36:57.400><c> and</c><00:36:57.719><c> wine.</c>

00:36:58.139 --> 00:37:01.460
He<00:36:58.300><c> gives</c><00:36:58.480><c> him</c><00:36:58.619><c> good</c><00:36:58.820><c> first</c><00:36:59.159><c> aid,</c><00:37:00.059><c> expensive</c><00:37:00.360><c> things.</c>

00:37:01.659 --> 00:37:04.300
Puts<00:37:01.679><c> him</c><00:37:01.860><c> on</c><00:37:02.019><c> his</c><00:37:02.199><c> own,</c><00:37:02.599><c> says</c><00:37:02.960><c> his</c><00:37:03.119><c> own</c><00:37:03.400><c> beast,</c><00:37:03.699><c> his</c><00:37:03.840><c> own</c><00:37:04.079><c> mule</c>

00:37:04.300 --> 00:37:05.340
or<00:37:04.559><c> whatever</c><00:37:04.920><c> he</c><00:37:05.179><c> had.</c>

00:37:05.539 --> 00:37:09.320
He<00:37:05.760><c> walked,</c><00:37:06.559><c> took</c><00:37:06.739><c> him</c><00:37:06.880><c> back</c><00:37:07.099><c> down</c><00:37:07.260><c> to</c><00:37:07.460><c> Jericho,</c><00:37:08.900><c> put</c><00:37:09.059><c> him</c><00:37:09.199><c> in</c>

00:37:09.320 --> 00:37:10.099
the<00:37:09.460><c> inn,</c><00:37:09.579><c> gave</c><00:37:09.780><c> him</c><00:37:09.940><c> money.</c>

00:37:10.260 --> 00:37:12.420
He<00:37:10.260><c> did</c><00:37:10.360><c> everything</c><00:37:10.780><c> he</c><00:37:10.960><c> could</c><00:37:11.159><c> possibly</c><00:37:11.599><c> do</c><00:37:11.760><c> for</c><00:37:11.960><c> this</c><00:37:12.179><c> man.</c>

00:37:12.699 --> 00:37:16.320

00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:49.539
So<00:38:46.599><c> we</c><00:38:46.780><c> have</c><00:38:47.039><c> opportunities</c><00:38:47.760><c> to</c><00:38:47.960><c> help</c><00:38:48.059><c> people</c><00:38:48.340><c> not</c><00:38:48.579><c> say,</c><00:38:49.000><c> don't</c><00:38:49.340><c> go</c>

Of<00:39:22.119><c> course,</c><00:39:22.719><c> that</c><00:39:22.780><c> parable</c><00:39:23.119><c> teaches</c><00:39:23.400><c> that</c><00:39:23.719><c> too.</c>

00:39:27.739 --> 00:39:31.000
In<00:39:27.920><c> case</c><00:39:28.179><c> you're</c><00:39:28.460><c> wondering,</c><00:39:29.039><c> is</c><00:39:29.119><c> it</c><00:39:29.260><c> really</c><00:39:29.539><c> true</c><00:39:29.739><c> that</c><00:39:29.920><c> there's</c><00:39:30.659><c> no</c>

00:39:33.019 --> 00:39:34.420
We<00:39:33.179><c> want</c><00:39:33.360><c> to</c><00:39:33.440><c> look</c><00:39:33.579><c> at</c><00:39:33.719><c> these</c><00:39:33.980><c> two</c><00:39:34.119><c> issues.</c>

00:39:34.559 --> 00:39:36.360

00:40:24.780 --> 00:40:28.440
For<00:40:24.860><c> we</c><00:40:25.119><c> are</c><00:40:25.380><c> his</c><00:40:25.780><c> workmanship,</c><00:40:26.940><c> created</c><00:40:27.380><c> in</c><00:40:27.659><c> Christ</c><00:40:28.000><c> Jesus</c>

00:40:34.380 --> 00:40:37.719
So<00:40:35.079><c> first</c><00:40:35.440><c> he</c><00:40:35.619><c> says,</c><00:40:36.219><c> we're</c><00:40:36.300><c> not</c><00:40:36.619><c> saved</c><00:40:36.820><c> because</c><00:40:37.199><c> of</c><00:40:37.360><c> our</c><00:40:37.539><c> works.</c>

00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:42.239
And<00:40:37.940><c> then</c><00:40:38.039><c> he</c><00:40:38.239><c> says</c><00:40:38.380><c> immediately,</c><00:40:39.659><c> we</c><00:40:39.820><c> are</c><00:40:40.099><c> created</c><00:40:40.500><c> for</c><00:40:40.920><c> good</c><00:40:41.179><c> works.</c>

Good<00:40:43.820><c> works.</c>

00:40:44.239 --> 00:40:45.199
Well,<00:40:44.400><c> what's</c><00:40:44.659><c> the</c><00:40:44.820><c> difference?</c>

00:40:45.579 --> 00:40:49.840
Why<00:40:45.840><c> does</c><00:40:46.000><c> he</c><00:40:46.260><c> say</c><00:40:46.599><c> you</c><00:40:47.079><c> can't</c><00:40:47.440><c> be</c><00:40:47.719><c> saved</c><00:40:48.059><c> by</c><00:40:48.539><c> doing</c><00:40:48.840><c> works?</c>

00:40:49.940 --> 00:40:52.900
But<00:40:50.079><c> then</c><00:40:50.179><c> he</c><00:40:50.380><c> says,</c><00:40:50.639><c> but</c><00:40:50.639><c> we</c><00:40:51.400><c> have</c><00:40:51.619><c> to</c><00:40:51.760><c> do</c><00:40:51.840><c> good</c><00:40:52.039><c> works.</c>

00:40:53.360 --> 00:40:55.460
Well,<00:40:53.599><c> the</c><00:40:53.820><c> difference</c><00:40:54.059><c> is,</c><00:40:54.440><c> of</c><00:40:54.699><c> course,</c><00:40:54.920><c> that</c><00:40:55.119><c> these</c><00:40:55.280><c> are</c>

00:40:58.559 --> 00:41:00.039
They<00:40:58.760><c> come</c><00:40:58.940><c> from</c><00:40:59.199><c> our</c><00:40:59.420><c> love</c><00:40:59.559><c> for</c><00:40:59.840><c> God.</c>

00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:01.320
They<00:41:00.239><c> come</c><00:41:00.420><c> from</c><00:41:00.639><c> our</c><00:41:00.860><c> compassion.</c>

00:41:01.320 --> 00:41:03.579
They<00:41:01.519><c> come</c><00:41:01.679><c> from</c><00:41:01.920><c> an</c><00:41:02.199><c> appreciation</c><00:41:02.679><c> of</c><00:41:03.000><c> the</c><00:41:03.039><c> fact</c><00:41:03.159><c> that</c><00:41:03.380><c> God</c>

00:41:05.300 --> 00:41:07.719
And<00:41:05.460><c> the</c><00:41:05.599><c> easiest</c><00:41:05.840><c> way</c><00:41:06.079><c> to</c><00:41:06.260><c> say</c><00:41:06.360><c> this,</c><00:41:06.900><c> and</c><00:41:06.980><c> many</c><00:41:07.199><c> people</c><00:41:07.500><c> have</c>

00:41:07.719 --> 00:41:08.800

00:41:08.900 --> 00:41:13.619
is<00:41:09.019><c> simply</c><00:41:09.500><c> that</c><00:41:10.260><c> we</c><00:41:10.960><c> work</c><00:41:11.380><c> not</c><00:41:11.980><c> in</c><00:41:12.280><c> order</c><00:41:12.480><c> to</c><00:41:12.699><c> be</c><00:41:12.980><c> saved,</c><00:41:13.519><c> but</c>

00:41:13.619 --> 00:41:16.219

zealous<00:42:09.840><c> for</c><00:42:10.440><c> good</c><00:42:11.239><c> deeds.</c>

00:42:13.059 --> 00:42:15.860
So<00:42:13.300><c> the</c><00:42:13.480><c> grace</c><00:42:13.739><c> of</c><00:42:13.880><c> God</c><00:42:14.079><c> appeared,</c><00:42:15.139><c> that</c><00:42:15.239><c> we</c><00:42:15.360><c> should</c><00:42:15.539><c> be</c><00:42:15.719><c> saved</c>

00:42:15.860 --> 00:42:17.280
by<00:42:16.139><c> grace.</c>

00:42:17.440 --> 00:42:20.719
But<00:42:17.920><c> then</c><00:42:18.119><c> he</c><00:42:18.300><c> says</c><00:42:18.420><c> that</c><00:42:18.599><c> we</c><00:42:18.639><c> are</c><00:42:18.920><c> zealous</c><00:42:19.239><c> for</c><00:42:19.500><c> good</c><00:42:19.719><c> deeds.</c>

00:42:21.480 --> 00:42:24.599
So<00:42:21.679><c> we</c><00:42:21.840><c> very</c><00:42:22.179><c> much</c><00:42:22.400><c> have</c><00:42:22.639><c> the</c><00:42:22.880><c> concept</c><00:42:23.340><c> of</c><00:42:23.599><c> doing</c><00:42:23.960><c> good</c><00:42:24.320><c> still</c>

00:42:25.099 --> 00:42:27.139
It<00:42:25.260><c> comes</c><00:42:25.579><c> from</c><00:42:26.039><c> a</c><00:42:26.440><c> different</c><00:42:26.659><c> perspective.</c>

00:42:27.280 --> 00:42:29.960
Not,<00:42:27.820><c> as</c><00:42:28.059><c> Bill</c><00:42:28.239><c> said</c><00:42:28.460><c> yesterday,</c><00:42:28.840><c> not</c><00:42:29.039><c> because</c><00:42:29.300><c> we</c><00:42:29.500><c> have</c><00:42:29.760><c> to,</c>

00:42:31.239 --> 00:42:34.719
That's<00:42:31.539><c> what</c><00:42:31.719><c> this</c><00:42:32.460><c> whole</c><00:42:32.840><c> concept</c><00:42:33.659><c> is</c><00:42:33.900><c> about.</c>

00:42:38.420 --> 00:42:42.360
We<00:42:38.679><c> have</c><00:42:38.820><c> a</c><00:42:38.980><c> higher</c><00:42:39.199><c> law.</c><00:42:40.139><c> It's</c><00:42:40.440><c> the</c><00:42:40.579><c> law</c><00:42:41.059><c> of</c><00:42:41.920><c> Christ.</c>

00:42:50.059 --> 00:42:54.059
For<00:42:50.300><c> the</c><00:42:50.539><c> love</c><00:42:51.000><c> of</c><00:42:51.400><c> Christ</c><00:42:51.960><c> controls</c><00:42:52.659><c> us.</c>

00:42:55.480 --> 00:42:58.500
The<00:42:55.699><c> love</c><00:42:55.960><c> of</c><00:42:56.179><c> Christ</c><00:42:56.539><c> controls</c><00:42:56.960><c> or</c><00:42:57.320><c> constrains</c><00:42:57.900><c> us.</c>

00:42:58.760 --> 00:43:01.059
And<00:42:58.860><c> I</c><00:42:59.159><c> think</c><00:42:59.360><c> the</c><00:42:59.559><c> authorized</c><00:42:59.860><c> version</c><00:43:00.139><c> reads,</c><00:43:00.500><c> the</c><00:43:00.500><c> love</c><00:43:00.739><c> of</c>

00:43:03.519 --> 00:43:07.099
That's<00:43:04.000><c> where</c><00:43:04.239><c> our</c><00:43:04.539><c> law</c><00:43:04.780><c> comes</c><00:43:05.199><c> from.</c><00:43:06.159><c> It's</c><00:43:06.460><c> from</c><00:43:06.659><c> the</c><00:43:06.900><c> love</c>

00:43:07.099 --> 00:43:07.860
of<00:43:07.440><c> Christ.</c>

00:43:07.860 --> 00:43:13.500

00:43:13.519 --> 00:43:21.099

00:43:21.400 --> 00:43:22.900
We're<00:43:21.840><c> not</c><00:43:21.940><c> turning</c><00:43:22.159><c> into</c><00:43:22.500><c> anarchy.</c>

00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:27.159
We're<00:43:23.119><c> not</c><00:43:23.340><c> turning</c><00:43:23.519><c> into</c><00:43:23.760><c> people</c><00:43:24.119><c> who</c><00:43:24.860><c> live</c><00:43:25.880><c> freely</c>

00:43:33.179 --> 00:43:33.880
our<00:43:33.460><c> salvation.</c>

00:43:33.940 --> 00:43:35.380
That's<00:43:34.199><c> not</c><00:43:34.400><c> the</c><00:43:34.559><c> idea.</c>

00:43:35.559 --> 00:43:38.420

Our<00:43:58.159><c> obedience</c><00:43:58.619><c> is</c><00:43:58.920><c> now</c><00:43:59.360><c> from</c><00:44:00.119><c> the</c><00:44:00.599><c> heart.</c>

00:44:05.679 --> 00:44:08.239
You<00:44:05.820><c> did</c><00:44:06.000><c> a</c><00:44:06.260><c> sacrifice</c><00:44:06.760><c> because</c><00:44:07.380><c> you</c><00:44:07.659><c> had</c><00:44:07.900><c> to.</c>

00:44:08.539 --> 00:44:10.539
You<00:44:08.980><c> stayed</c><00:44:09.320><c> away</c><00:44:09.619><c> from</c><00:44:09.820><c> something</c><00:44:10.139><c> unclean.</c>

00:44:10.559 --> 00:44:13.579

00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:18.619
Remember<00:44:15.619><c> in</c><00:44:15.840><c> Amos</c><00:44:16.059><c> where</c><00:44:16.320><c> he</c><00:44:16.599><c> decries</c><00:44:17.019><c> the</c><00:44:17.320><c> people</c><00:44:17.800><c> waiting</c>

And<00:44:44.980><c> then</c><00:44:45.099><c> he</c><00:44:45.179><c> says</c><00:44:45.360><c> in</c><00:44:45.539><c> verse</c><00:44:45.760><c> 18,</c><00:44:46.159><c> we've</c><00:44:46.300><c> been</c><00:44:46.500><c> set</c><00:44:46.679><c> free</c><00:44:47.280><c> from</c><00:44:47.860><c> sin</c>

00:44:52.760 --> 00:44:54.119
Slave<00:44:53.019><c> of</c><00:44:53.219><c> righteousness?</c>

00:44:54.619 --> 00:44:56.559
That's<00:44:54.940><c> what's</c><00:44:55.139><c> called</c><00:44:55.300><c> a</c><00:44:55.579><c> paradox.</c>

00:44:57.260 --> 00:44:58.659
That's<00:44:57.679><c> where</c><00:44:57.800><c> some</c><00:44:58.000><c> of</c><00:44:58.099><c> our</c><00:44:58.300><c> paradoxes.</c>

00:44:58.719 --> 00:44:59.820
You<00:44:58.880><c> can't</c><00:44:59.039><c> be</c><00:44:59.039><c> a</c><00:44:59.260><c> slave</c><00:44:59.420><c> of</c><00:44:59.659><c> righteousness.</c>

00:44:59.840 --> 00:45:01.739
You<00:45:00.000><c> can</c><00:45:00.000><c> be</c><00:45:00.119><c> a</c><00:45:00.320><c> slave</c><00:45:00.460><c> of</c><00:45:00.659><c> the</c><00:45:00.820><c> law.</c>

00:45:02.719 --> 00:45:06.360
But<00:45:02.920><c> Paul</c><00:45:03.179><c> puts</c><00:45:03.500><c> this</c><00:45:03.739><c> whole</c><00:45:04.219><c> concept</c><00:45:04.679><c> around</c><00:45:05.260><c> and</c><00:45:05.699><c> says</c><00:45:05.920><c> there's</c><00:45:06.219><c> a</c>

and<00:45:09.880><c> peace</c>

00:45:14.500 --> 00:45:18.780
The<00:45:14.920><c> last</c><00:45:15.099><c> one</c><00:45:15.280><c> to</c><00:45:15.360><c> look</c><00:45:15.500><c> at</c><00:45:15.619><c> is</c><00:45:15.739><c> in</c><00:45:15.840><c> John</c><00:45:16.019><c> 15</c><00:45:16.559><c> that</c><00:45:16.719><c> we</c><00:45:16.920><c> have</c><00:45:17.039><c> here.</c>

00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:32.099
And<00:45:23.400><c> maybe</c><00:45:23.920><c> look</c><00:45:29.440><c> at</c><00:45:29.619><c> one</c><00:45:29.760><c> in</c><00:45:29.920><c> John</c><00:45:30.079><c> and</c><00:45:30.199><c> one</c><00:45:30.380><c> in</c><00:45:30.619><c> Galatians.</c>

00:45:32.519 --> 00:45:35.940
John<00:45:32.719><c> 15,</c><00:45:33.699><c> this</c><00:45:34.280><c> is</c><00:45:34.760><c> my</c><00:45:35.179><c> commandment.</c>

00:45:36.639 --> 00:45:37.519
This<00:45:36.820><c> is</c><00:45:37.079><c> my</c><00:45:37.320><c> law.</c>

00:45:37.559 --> 00:45:38.440
This<00:45:37.699><c> is</c><00:45:37.900><c> my</c><00:45:38.119><c> rule.</c>

00:45:38.780 --> 00:45:42.659
That<00:45:39.000><c> you</c><00:45:39.179><c> love</c><00:45:39.460><c> one</c><00:45:39.739><c> another</c><00:45:40.139><c> as</c><00:45:40.880><c> I</c><00:45:41.139><c> have</c><00:45:41.340><c> loved</c><00:45:41.539><c> you.</c>

00:45:43.619 --> 00:45:45.440
That's<00:45:44.139><c> the</c><00:45:44.239><c> new</c><00:45:44.460><c> covenant.</c>

00:45:45.639 --> 00:45:46.460
That's<00:45:46.039><c> the</c><00:45:46.219><c> law.</c>

00:45:46.460 --> 00:45:47.980
That's<00:45:46.639><c> the</c><00:45:46.760><c> only</c><00:45:46.960><c> law</c><00:45:47.380><c> of</c><00:45:47.539><c> the</c><00:45:47.579><c> new</c><00:45:47.739><c> covenant.</c>

00:45:48.119 --> 00:45:49.579
It's<00:45:48.159><c> called</c><00:45:48.300><c> the</c><00:45:48.400><c> law</c><00:45:48.599><c> of</c><00:45:48.800><c> love.</c>

00:45:50.119 --> 00:45:52.760
But<00:45:50.239><c> can</c><00:45:50.559><c> love</c><00:45:51.000><c> be</c><00:45:51.280><c> made</c><00:45:51.500><c> into</c><00:45:51.820><c> a</c><00:45:51.960><c> law?</c>

00:45:54.079 --> 00:45:56.039
Can<00:45:54.280><c> love</c><00:45:54.460><c> be</c><00:45:54.639><c> made</c><00:45:54.760><c> a</c><00:45:54.960><c> requirement?</c>

00:45:57.340 --> 00:45:59.500
Well,<00:45:57.539><c> we</c><00:45:57.739><c> have</c><00:45:57.960><c> to</c><00:45:58.199><c> have</c><00:45:58.440><c> love.</c>

00:46:00.780 --> 00:46:02.719
But<00:46:00.860><c> can</c><00:46:01.039><c> I</c><00:46:01.300><c> tell</c><00:46:01.539><c> you</c><00:46:01.739><c> that</c><00:46:01.900><c> you</c><00:46:02.139><c> love</c><00:46:02.320><c> me?</c>

00:46:02.960 --> 00:46:04.980
That<00:46:03.039><c> you</c><00:46:03.199><c> have</c><00:46:03.400><c> to</c><00:46:03.559><c> love</c><00:46:03.679><c> me</c><00:46:03.900><c> and</c><00:46:03.980><c> you</c><00:46:04.199><c> will?</c>

00:46:06.099 --> 00:46:08.460
Love<00:46:06.420><c> doesn't</c><00:46:06.679><c> come</c><00:46:06.880><c> like</c><00:46:07.159><c> that,</c><00:46:07.380><c> does</c><00:46:07.539><c> it?</c>

00:46:10.019 --> 00:46:13.320
I<00:46:10.460><c> can</c><00:46:10.900><c> command</c><00:46:11.239><c> you</c><00:46:11.599><c> to,</c><00:46:12.099><c> let's</c><00:46:12.360><c> say,</c><00:46:12.860><c> come</c><00:46:12.980><c> to</c><00:46:13.139><c> meetings</c>

00:46:13.320 --> 00:46:13.960
Sunday<00:46:13.639><c> morning</c>

00:46:13.960 --> 00:46:15.159
and<00:46:14.260><c> sure</c><00:46:14.480><c> enough</c><00:46:14.639><c> you're</c><00:46:14.840><c> there.</c>

00:46:15.159 --> 00:46:16.599
You<00:46:15.500><c> can</c><00:46:15.719><c> follow</c><00:46:15.980><c> a</c><00:46:16.079><c> command</c><00:46:16.219><c> like</c><00:46:16.440><c> that.</c>

00:46:16.639 --> 00:46:19.679
But<00:46:16.699><c> if</c><00:46:16.800><c> I</c><00:46:16.980><c> say</c><00:46:17.960><c> love's</c><00:46:18.579><c> your</c><00:46:18.719><c> neighbor,</c>

00:46:20.719 --> 00:46:22.840
you<00:46:21.159><c> can't</c><00:46:21.519><c> just</c><00:46:21.719><c> do</c><00:46:21.840><c> that</c><00:46:22.000><c> because</c><00:46:22.139><c> I</c><00:46:22.380><c> said</c><00:46:22.579><c> so.</c>

00:46:22.840 --> 00:46:25.739
You<00:46:22.980><c> have</c><00:46:23.179><c> to</c><00:46:23.360><c> develop</c><00:46:23.679><c> that</c><00:46:23.920><c> love</c><00:46:24.179><c> or</c><00:46:24.340><c> else</c><00:46:24.480><c> it's</c><00:46:24.659><c> not</c><00:46:24.860><c> love.</c>

00:46:25.920 --> 00:46:30.000
So<00:46:26.099><c> the</c><00:46:26.300><c> irony</c><00:46:26.639><c> and</c><00:46:26.780><c> the</c><00:46:27.019><c> paradox</c><00:46:27.400><c> here</c><00:46:27.960><c> is</c><00:46:28.699><c> that</c><00:46:29.260><c> when</c><00:46:29.440><c> Jesus</c><00:46:29.780><c> says</c>

00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:32.679
you<00:46:30.139><c> have</c><00:46:30.280><c> a</c><00:46:30.480><c> commandment,</c><00:46:30.880><c> the</c><00:46:31.039><c> commandment</c><00:46:31.360><c> of</c><00:46:31.579><c> love,</c>

00:46:33.539 --> 00:46:36.360
it's<00:46:33.840><c> something</c><00:46:34.239><c> where</c><00:46:34.539><c> he's</c><00:46:34.880><c> saying</c><00:46:35.139><c> I'm</c><00:46:35.760><c> giving</c><00:46:35.880><c> you</c><00:46:36.119><c> a</c><00:46:36.219><c> law,</c>

00:46:36.420 --> 00:46:37.639
but<00:46:36.539><c> the</c><00:46:36.719><c> law</c><00:46:36.880><c> really</c><00:46:37.159><c> isn't</c><00:46:37.360><c> a</c><00:46:37.480><c> law.</c>

00:46:37.719 --> 00:46:42.440
The<00:46:37.840><c> law</c><00:46:38.019><c> is</c><00:46:38.179><c> you</c><00:46:38.300><c> have</c><00:46:38.559><c> to</c><00:46:39.880><c> make</c><00:46:40.320><c> a</c><00:46:40.699><c> law</c><00:46:41.119><c> in</c><00:46:41.619><c> your</c><00:46:41.800><c> own</c><00:46:42.059><c> heart.</c>

00:46:42.559 --> 00:46:44.179
It<00:46:42.780><c> has</c><00:46:42.900><c> to</c><00:46:42.960><c> be</c><00:46:43.119><c> obedience</c><00:46:43.440><c> from</c><00:46:43.679><c> the</c><00:46:43.900><c> heart.</c>

00:46:44.179 --> 00:46:45.900
And<00:46:44.440><c> we</c><00:46:44.619><c> call</c><00:46:44.780><c> this</c><00:46:45.000><c> love.</c>

00:46:46.280 --> 00:46:48.019
So<00:46:46.460><c> we</c><00:46:46.559><c> do</c><00:46:46.719><c> have</c><00:46:46.940><c> a</c><00:46:47.059><c> law</c><00:46:47.280><c> in</c><00:46:47.559><c> a</c><00:46:47.739><c> way.</c>

00:46:48.199 --> 00:46:50.480
We<00:46:48.480><c> have</c><00:46:48.699><c> the</c><00:46:48.800><c> law</c><00:46:48.960><c> of</c><00:46:49.059><c> the</c><00:46:49.139><c> New</c><00:46:49.280><c> Covenant,</c><00:46:50.000><c> which</c><00:46:50.260><c> says</c>

00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:55.159
we<00:46:50.679><c> must</c><00:46:50.920><c> conform</c><00:46:51.360><c> our</c><00:46:51.659><c> hearts</c><00:46:51.900><c> of</c><00:46:52.059><c> our</c><00:46:52.280><c> own</c><00:46:52.500><c> free</c><00:46:52.699><c> will</c><00:46:53.219><c> to</c><00:46:54.260><c> God.</c>

00:46:55.539 --> 00:46:57.920
Because<00:46:55.719><c> if</c><00:46:55.920><c> God</c><00:46:56.139><c> commands</c><00:46:56.539><c> us,</c><00:46:56.719><c> we</c><00:46:56.800><c> do</c><00:46:56.920><c> it</c><00:46:57.079><c> just</c><00:46:57.320><c> because</c><00:46:57.619><c> God</c>

00:46:57.920 --> 00:46:58.659
says<00:46:58.179><c> so.</c>

00:46:58.820 --> 00:46:59.940
That's<00:46:59.179><c> just</c><00:46:59.360><c> a</c><00:46:59.519><c> behavior.</c>

00:47:00.099 --> 00:47:02.420
And<00:47:00.300><c> you</c><00:47:00.440><c> can't</c><00:47:00.739><c> have</c><00:47:00.900><c> true</c><00:47:01.119><c> love</c><00:47:01.400><c> unless</c><00:47:01.619><c> it</c><00:47:01.800><c> comes</c><00:47:01.980><c> from</c><00:47:02.099><c> your</c><00:47:02.280><c> own</c>

00:47:02.420 --> 00:47:03.400
heart<00:47:02.539><c> anyway.</c>

00:47:03.699 --> 00:47:06.960
And<00:47:03.980><c> finally,</c><00:47:04.360><c> Galatians</c><00:47:04.780><c> chapter</c><00:47:05.139><c> 5.</c>

00:47:07.320 --> 00:47:15.300
We'll<00:47:07.960><c> use</c><00:47:08.139><c> this</c><00:47:11.199><c> concept</c><00:47:12.619><c> to</c><00:47:14.059><c> finish</c><00:47:14.699><c> off.</c>

00:47:15.500 --> 00:47:17.960

00:47:21.000 --> 00:47:23.139
Well,<00:47:21.400><c> there's</c><00:47:21.699><c> a</c><00:47:21.739><c> very</c><00:47:22.059><c> good</c><00:47:22.280><c> discussion</c><00:47:22.780><c> here</c>

00:47:23.139 --> 00:47:25.719
about<00:47:23.400><c> this</c><00:47:23.760><c> moving</c><00:47:24.000><c> from</c><00:47:24.280><c> law</c><00:47:24.480><c> to</c><00:47:24.699><c> grace.</c>

00:47:26.960 --> 00:47:30.360
But<00:47:27.159><c> let's</c><00:47:27.380><c> look</c><00:47:27.539><c> at</c><00:47:27.699><c> verse</c><00:47:27.860><c> 5,</c><00:47:28.300><c> chapter</c><00:47:28.619><c> 1.</c>

00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:32.940
Chapter<00:47:30.960><c> 5,</c><00:47:31.380><c> verse</c><00:47:31.679><c> 1.</c>

00:47:33.199 --> 00:47:36.179
For<00:47:33.800><c> freedom</c><00:47:34.360><c> Christ</c><00:47:35.019><c> has</c><00:47:35.320><c> set</c><00:47:35.480><c> us</c><00:47:35.760><c> free.</c>

00:47:36.539 --> 00:47:40.500
Stand<00:47:36.960><c> fast,</c><00:47:37.900><c> therefore,</c><00:47:38.000><c> and</c><00:47:38.239><c> do</c><00:47:38.559><c> not</c><00:47:38.980><c> submit</c><00:47:39.380><c> again</c><00:47:39.920><c> to</c><00:47:40.320><c> a</c>

00:47:40.500 --> 00:47:41.880
yoke<00:47:40.699><c> of</c><00:47:40.960><c> slavery.</c>

00:47:42.440 --> 00:47:45.780
When<00:47:42.639><c> he's</c><00:47:42.960><c> saying</c><00:47:43.239><c> this,</c><00:47:44.159><c> you've</c><00:47:44.420><c> been</c><00:47:44.579><c> yoked</c><00:47:44.980><c> to</c><00:47:45.400><c> love.</c>

00:47:46.219 --> 00:47:47.480
You've<00:47:46.440><c> been</c><00:47:46.559><c> yoked</c><00:47:46.820><c> to</c><00:47:47.079><c> Christ.</c>

00:47:47.880 --> 00:47:50.599
You<00:47:48.039><c> have</c><00:47:48.280><c> become</c><00:47:48.579><c> a</c><00:47:48.880><c> law</c><00:47:49.400><c> of</c><00:47:50.019><c> the</c><00:47:50.300><c> heart.</c>

00:47:50.820 --> 00:47:54.920
You<00:47:51.000><c> follow</c><00:47:51.219><c> the</c><00:47:51.460><c> commandments,</c><00:47:52.059><c> not</c><00:47:52.320><c> under</c><00:47:52.760><c> the</c><00:47:53.099><c> rules,</c><00:47:53.980><c> the</c><00:47:54.260><c> regulations,</c>

00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:57.940
and<00:47:55.260><c> all</c><00:47:56.019><c> the</c><00:47:56.300><c> different</c><00:47:56.480><c> things</c><00:47:56.840><c> of</c><00:47:57.059><c> the</c><00:47:57.300><c> Old</c><00:47:57.539><c> Covenant.</c>

00:47:58.039 --> 00:47:59.539
He<00:47:58.179><c> said</c><00:47:58.260><c> this</c><00:47:58.480><c> is</c><00:47:58.659><c> what</c><00:47:58.820><c> freedom</c><00:47:59.119><c> is.</c>

00:47:59.539 --> 00:48:02.920
The<00:48:00.300><c> freedom</c><00:48:00.619><c> did</c><00:48:00.900><c> not</c><00:48:01.039><c> imply</c><00:48:01.760><c> what</c><00:48:01.980><c> we</c><00:48:02.179><c> say</c><00:48:02.380><c> license.</c>

00:48:03.239 --> 00:48:06.980
That<00:48:03.239><c> is,</c><00:48:04.119><c> freedom</c><00:48:04.280><c> does</c><00:48:04.579><c> not</c><00:48:04.780><c> mean</c><00:48:05.219><c> there's</c><00:48:06.039><c> nothing</c><00:48:06.300><c> to</c><00:48:06.559><c> do.</c>

00:48:07.380 --> 00:48:08.500
There's<00:48:07.559><c> nothing</c><00:48:07.840><c> more</c><00:48:08.059><c> we</c><00:48:08.219><c> should</c><00:48:08.340><c> do.</c>

00:48:08.739 --> 00:48:09.539
We've<00:48:09.059><c> been</c><00:48:09.280><c> saved.</c>

00:48:09.579 --> 00:48:11.780
This<00:48:09.739><c> is</c><00:48:09.880><c> like</c><00:48:10.039><c> the</c><00:48:10.219><c> once</c><00:48:10.420><c> saved,</c><00:48:10.840><c> always</c><00:48:11.019><c> saved</c><00:48:11.219><c> mentality</c>

00:48:11.780 --> 00:48:12.500
that<00:48:11.980><c> some</c><00:48:12.099><c> people</c><00:48:12.320><c> have.</c>

00:48:12.599 --> 00:48:15.599
Well,<00:48:12.679><c> I'm</c><00:48:12.880><c> saved,</c><00:48:13.639><c> so</c><00:48:13.639><c> I</c><00:48:14.219><c> don't</c><00:48:14.360><c> have</c><00:48:14.639><c> to</c><00:48:15.380><c> grow.</c>

00:48:15.659 --> 00:48:17.539
I<00:48:15.719><c> don't</c><00:48:15.880><c> have</c><00:48:16.099><c> to</c><00:48:16.500><c> do</c><00:48:16.639><c> anything.</c>

00:48:18.360 --> 00:48:21.019
Well,<00:48:18.800><c> that's</c><00:48:19.239><c> not</c><00:48:19.619><c> at</c><00:48:19.840><c> all</c><00:48:20.159><c> true.</c>

00:48:21.400 --> 00:48:23.039
Look<00:48:21.539><c> at</c><00:48:21.699><c> verse</c><00:48:21.920><c> 13.</c>

00:48:26.139 --> 00:48:29.460
Paul<00:48:26.719><c> says</c><00:48:27.300><c> essentially</c><00:48:27.719><c> the</c><00:48:27.900><c> same</c><00:48:28.059><c> thing</c><00:48:28.199><c> he</c><00:48:28.340><c> said</c><00:48:28.460><c> in</c><00:48:28.639><c> Romans</c><00:48:28.920><c> 6.</c>

00:48:29.659 --> 00:48:31.619
It's<00:48:29.840><c> slightly</c><00:48:30.000><c> different</c><00:48:30.380><c> language.</c>

00:48:31.880 --> 00:48:34.940
He<00:48:31.880><c> says</c><00:48:31.880><c> you</c><00:48:32.000><c> were</c><00:48:32.300><c> called</c><00:48:32.500><c> to</c><00:48:32.820><c> freedom,</c><00:48:33.360><c> brethren.</c>

00:48:35.539 --> 00:48:37.300
He<00:48:35.539><c> says</c><00:48:35.860><c> Christ</c><00:48:36.199><c> has</c><00:48:36.400><c> set</c><00:48:36.480><c> you</c><00:48:36.860><c> free.</c>

00:48:37.519 --> 00:48:38.380
You're<00:48:37.820><c> called</c><00:48:37.940><c> to</c><00:48:38.199><c> freedom.</c>

00:48:38.519 --> 00:48:43.119
He<00:48:38.519><c> says</c><00:48:38.699><c> but</c><00:48:39.000><c> do</c><00:48:39.340><c> not</c><00:48:39.699><c> use</c><00:48:40.099><c> your</c><00:48:40.420><c> freedom</c><00:48:40.980><c> as</c><00:48:42.360><c> an</c><00:48:42.519><c> opportunity</c>

00:48:43.119 --> 00:48:44.659
for<00:48:43.400><c> the</c><00:48:43.679><c> flesh.</c>

00:48:45.219 --> 00:48:48.360
But<00:48:45.420><c> through</c><00:48:45.739><c> love</c><00:48:46.119><c> be</c><00:48:46.500><c> servants</c><00:48:47.059><c> of</c><00:48:47.480><c> one</c><00:48:47.920><c> another.</c>

00:48:48.860 --> 00:48:50.820
For<00:48:48.960><c> the</c><00:48:49.159><c> whole</c><00:48:49.320><c> law</c><00:48:49.559><c> is</c><00:48:49.760><c> fulfilled</c><00:48:50.059><c> in</c><00:48:50.280><c> one</c><00:48:50.539><c> word.</c>

00:48:50.820 --> 00:48:54.199
You<00:48:51.179><c> shall</c><00:48:51.380><c> love</c><00:48:51.800><c> your</c><00:48:52.019><c> neighbor</c><00:48:52.420><c> as</c><00:48:52.820><c> yourself.</c>

00:48:54.639 --> 00:48:57.539
So<00:48:54.739><c> having</c><00:48:55.000><c> that</c><00:48:55.239><c> said,</c><00:48:55.400><c> free</c><00:48:55.639><c> from</c><00:48:55.820><c> law</c><00:48:56.059><c> did</c><00:48:56.340><c> not</c><00:48:56.619><c> mean</c><00:48:56.820><c> at</c><00:48:57.039><c> all</c>

00:48:57.539 --> 00:48:59.920
that<00:48:58.000><c> there</c><00:48:58.300><c> was</c><00:48:58.559><c> no</c><00:48:58.760><c> such</c><00:48:58.940><c> thing</c><00:48:59.159><c> as</c><00:48:59.360><c> a</c><00:48:59.539><c> good</c><00:48:59.699><c> work</c>

00:48:59.920 --> 00:49:04.440
or<00:49:00.059><c> no</c><00:49:00.260><c> such</c><00:49:00.440><c> thing</c><00:49:00.699><c> as</c><00:49:01.039><c> an</c><00:49:02.179><c> act</c><00:49:02.800><c> that</c><00:49:03.239><c> we</c><00:49:03.679><c> need</c><00:49:04.099><c> to</c><00:49:04.300><c> do.</c>

00:49:04.480 --> 00:49:06.139
We<00:49:04.619><c> need</c><00:49:04.840><c> to</c><00:49:05.099><c> prove</c><00:49:05.360><c> that</c><00:49:05.719><c> love.</c>

00:49:06.340 --> 00:49:11.300
And<00:49:06.440><c> he</c><00:49:06.639><c> says</c><00:49:07.380><c> the</c><00:49:08.059><c> freedom</c><00:49:08.400><c> is</c><00:49:09.019><c> now</c><00:49:10.300><c> slavery.</c>

00:49:11.840 --> 00:49:13.659
You<00:49:11.980><c> are</c><00:49:12.119><c> now</c><00:49:12.420><c> slaves</c><00:49:12.840><c> of</c><00:49:13.320><c> love.</c>

00:49:13.860 --> 00:49:15.260
That's<00:49:14.199><c> a</c><00:49:14.340><c> paradox.</c>

00:49:16.059 --> 00:49:18.619
But<00:49:16.199><c> the</c><00:49:16.280><c> New</c><00:49:16.500><c> Testament</c><00:49:16.800><c> is</c><00:49:16.960><c> full</c><00:49:17.179><c> of</c><00:49:17.420><c> statements</c><00:49:17.739><c> like</c><00:49:18.159><c> that</c>

00:49:18.619 --> 00:49:21.360
about<00:49:19.119><c> the</c><00:49:19.400><c> first</c><00:49:19.599><c> being</c><00:49:19.860><c> last</c><00:49:20.300><c> and</c><00:49:20.579><c> the</c><00:49:20.699><c> weakness</c><00:49:21.039><c> of</c><00:49:21.219><c> man</c>

00:49:21.360 --> 00:49:22.019
made<00:49:21.599><c> strong.</c>

00:49:22.400 --> 00:49:25.159
And<00:49:22.519><c> here</c><00:49:22.639><c> he's</c><00:49:22.719><c> saying</c><00:49:22.920><c> in</c><00:49:23.199><c> freedom</c><00:49:23.380><c> you've</c><00:49:23.719><c> become</c><00:49:23.920><c> slaves.</c>

00:49:25.260 --> 00:49:28.119
It's<00:49:25.380><c> in</c><00:49:25.500><c> one</c><00:49:25.579><c> of</c><00:49:25.679><c> the</c><00:49:25.920><c> many,</c><00:49:26.179><c> many</c><00:49:26.380><c> New</c><00:49:26.579><c> Testament</c><00:49:26.960><c> paradoxes.</c>

00:49:28.360 --> 00:49:31.199
We've<00:49:28.659><c> become</c><00:49:28.880><c> free</c><00:49:29.440><c> and</c><00:49:30.059><c> in</c><00:49:30.199><c> our</c><00:49:30.400><c> freedom</c><00:49:30.579><c> now</c><00:49:30.780><c> we've</c><00:49:31.079><c> become</c>

00:49:31.199 --> 00:49:32.800
slaves<00:49:31.599><c> of</c><00:49:31.860><c> love.</c>

00:49:33.039 --> 00:49:34.519
Servants<00:49:33.320><c> of</c><00:49:33.480><c> love.</c>

00:49:34.800 --> 00:49:36.079
Servants<00:49:35.079><c> of</c><00:49:35.199><c> the</c><00:49:35.340><c> higher</c><00:49:35.579><c> righteousness.</c>

00:49:36.260 --> 00:49:38.360
The<00:49:36.460><c> righteousness</c><00:49:36.800><c> that</c><00:49:37.099><c> exceeds</c><00:49:37.480><c> the</c><00:49:37.760><c> righteousness</c><00:49:38.119><c> of</c>

00:49:38.360 --> 00:49:39.360
the<00:49:38.519><c> law.</c>

00:49:39.960 --> 00:49:42.000
The<00:49:40.139><c> righteousness</c><00:49:40.440><c> of</c><00:49:40.659><c> Jesus</c><00:49:40.960><c> Christ.</c>

00:49:44.480 --> 00:49:49.099
