00:08:52.419 --> 00:08:54.559

00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:02.220

00:09:11.500 --> 00:09:15.139
Now,<00:09:11.799><c> this</c><00:09:12.059><c> is</c><00:09:12.440><c> not</c><00:09:13.059><c> an</c><00:09:13.440><c> unusual</c><00:09:13.960><c> idea.</c>

00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:20.500
What<00:09:16.720><c> we</c><00:09:17.039><c> find</c><00:09:17.480><c> is</c><00:09:17.759><c> that</c><00:09:18.360><c> there</c><00:09:18.840><c> are</c><00:09:19.120><c> several</c><00:09:19.639><c> references</c><00:09:20.200><c> to</c>

00:09:21.139 --> 00:09:25.440

00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:34.320
I'll<00:09:29.279><c> just</c><00:09:29.679><c> turn</c><00:09:29.960><c> over</c><00:09:30.200><c> to</c><00:09:30.740><c> Psalm</c><00:09:30.940><c> 16,</c><00:09:32.399><c> verses</c><00:09:32.700><c> seven</c><00:09:33.159><c> and</c><00:09:33.299><c> eight.</c>

00:09:34.940 --> 00:09:38.799
You<00:09:35.220><c> see,</c><00:09:35.279><c> he</c><00:09:35.500><c> refers</c><00:09:35.860><c> to</c><00:09:36.820><c> the</c><00:09:37.360><c> instruction</c><00:09:37.759><c> he</c><00:09:38.000><c> received</c><00:09:38.419><c> from</c><00:09:38.620><c> the</c>

00:09:47.019 --> 00:09:51.860
Now,<00:09:49.179><c> here's</c><00:09:49.480><c> something</c><00:09:49.860><c> over</c><00:09:50.379><c> and</c><00:09:50.720><c> above</c><00:09:50.980><c> instruction.</c>

00:09:51.860 --> 00:09:56.220

00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:03.820
As<00:09:56.840><c> an</c><00:09:57.039><c> example,</c><00:09:59.139><c> because</c><00:10:00.019><c> he</c><00:10:00.259><c> is</c><00:10:00.600><c> at</c><00:10:00.720><c> my</c><00:10:01.100><c> right</c><00:10:01.460><c> hand,</c><00:10:02.720><c> I</c><00:10:03.039><c> shall</c><00:10:03.399><c> not</c>

00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:07.580
He's<00:10:05.100><c> right</c><00:10:05.480><c> there</c><00:10:06.379><c> helping</c><00:10:06.940><c> me.</c>

00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:12.340
As<00:10:08.120><c> a</c><00:10:08.220><c> matter</c><00:10:08.360><c> of</c><00:10:08.539><c> fact,</c><00:10:09.179><c> this</c><00:10:09.480><c> is</c><00:10:09.879><c> the</c><00:10:10.179><c> emphasis</c><00:10:11.019><c> of</c><00:10:11.740><c> Christ.</c>

00:10:12.659 --> 00:10:15.460
When<00:10:12.779><c> it</c><00:10:13.000><c> comes</c><00:10:13.240><c> to</c><00:10:13.500><c> the</c><00:10:13.860><c> attribution</c><00:10:14.480><c> of</c><00:10:14.659><c> how</c><00:10:14.879><c> he</c><00:10:15.019><c> was</c><00:10:15.259><c> able</c>

00:10:15.460 --> 00:10:16.720
to<00:10:15.620><c> be</c><00:10:15.820><c> perfect,</c>

00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.720
we<00:10:17.179><c> might</c><00:10:17.539><c> say,</c><00:10:17.879><c> and</c><00:10:18.039><c> put</c><00:10:18.200><c> the</c><00:10:18.419><c> emphasis</c><00:10:18.740><c> upon</c><00:10:19.139><c> his</c><00:10:19.659><c> supreme</c><00:10:20.259><c> effort</c>

00:10:25.139 --> 00:10:27.139
That's<00:10:25.399><c> probably</c><00:10:25.799><c> what</c><00:10:25.960><c> we</c><00:10:26.159><c> would</c><00:10:26.299><c> tend</c><00:10:26.440><c> to</c><00:10:26.639><c> emphasize,</c>

00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:20.460
The<00:14:18.259><c> Lord</c><00:14:18.519><c> hath</c><00:14:18.720><c> not</c><00:14:19.039><c> left</c><00:14:19.259><c> me</c><00:14:19.539><c> alone.</c>

00:14:21.019 --> 00:14:24.059
And<00:14:21.320><c> you</c><00:14:21.480><c> remember</c><00:14:21.759><c> this</c><00:14:22.639><c> echoes</c><00:14:23.100><c> what</c><00:14:23.379><c> we</c><00:14:23.620><c> saw</c><00:14:23.759><c> in</c><00:14:23.919><c> the</c>

He<00:14:25.740><c> is</c><00:14:25.960><c> at</c><00:14:26.179><c> my</c><00:14:26.539><c> right</c><00:14:26.919><c> hand.</c>

00:14:29.059 --> 00:14:30.940
He<00:14:29.539><c> is</c><00:14:29.820><c> holding</c><00:14:30.179><c> me</c><00:14:30.500><c> up.</c>

00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:34.039
Therefore<00:14:31.879><c> I</c><00:14:32.299><c> will</c><00:14:32.539><c> not</c><00:14:32.779><c> be</c><00:14:33.019><c> confounded.</c>

00:14:34.419 --> 00:14:36.500
Therefore<00:14:34.899><c> he</c><00:14:35.139><c> is</c><00:14:35.340><c> able</c><00:14:35.539><c> to</c><00:14:35.759><c> stay</c><00:14:35.879><c> in</c><00:14:36.059><c> the</c><00:14:36.200><c> way.</c>

00:14:36.899 --> 00:14:38.820
And<00:14:37.120><c> here</c><00:14:37.279><c> you</c><00:14:37.480><c> see</c><00:14:37.639><c> it</c><00:14:37.779><c> in</c><00:14:37.899><c> these</c><00:14:38.059><c> verses</c><00:14:38.340><c> in</c><00:14:38.580><c> John.</c>

00:14:39.139 --> 00:14:41.200
There<00:14:39.399><c> is</c><00:14:39.500><c> the</c><00:14:39.700><c> example</c><00:14:40.120><c> of</c><00:14:40.299><c> the</c><00:14:40.440><c> Father</c><00:14:40.659><c> he</c><00:14:40.779><c> is</c><00:14:40.879><c> following.</c>

00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:52.559
And<00:14:47.080><c> the</c><00:14:47.559><c> Son,</c><00:14:48.000><c> if</c><00:14:48.179><c> you</c><00:14:48.379><c> asked</c><00:14:48.720><c> him</c><00:14:49.259><c> why</c><00:14:50.080><c> was</c><00:14:50.379><c> he</c><00:14:50.539><c> so</c><00:14:50.940><c> successful</c><00:14:51.620><c> in</c><00:14:51.879><c> overcoming</c><00:14:52.259><c> sin,</c>

00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:55.480
then<00:14:52.639><c> he</c><00:14:52.679><c> would</c><00:14:52.860><c> say</c><00:14:53.159><c> all</c><00:14:53.559><c> the</c><00:14:53.799><c> credit</c><00:14:53.940><c> belongs</c><00:14:54.320><c> to</c><00:14:54.539><c> God.</c>

00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:00.039
And<00:14:56.440><c> you</c><00:14:56.580><c> can</c><00:14:56.779><c> see</c><00:14:56.899><c> that</c><00:14:57.059><c> right</c><00:14:57.299><c> here</c><00:14:57.600><c> in</c><00:14:57.940><c> John</c><00:14:58.279><c> where</c><00:14:58.559><c> he</c><00:14:58.720><c> gives</c><00:14:58.940><c> the</c><00:14:59.200><c> credit.</c>

00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:06.220
Now,<00:15:03.399><c> Christ's</c><00:15:03.759><c> words</c><00:15:03.940><c> are</c><00:15:04.179><c> not</c><00:15:04.440><c> just</c><00:15:04.740><c> empty</c><00:15:05.059><c> platitudes.</c>

00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:11.240
He<00:15:07.559><c> is</c><00:15:07.740><c> not</c><00:15:07.960><c> just</c><00:15:08.240><c> being</c><00:15:08.820><c> gratuitously</c><00:15:09.519><c> humble</c><00:15:10.139><c> here,</c><00:15:11.179><c> giving</c>

00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:15.039
And<00:15:14.159><c> so</c><00:15:14.340><c> we</c><00:15:14.500><c> need</c><00:15:14.700><c> to</c><00:15:14.860><c> stop.</c>

00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:19.120
We<00:15:15.200><c> need</c><00:15:15.399><c> to</c><00:15:16.019><c> think</c><00:15:16.379><c> through</c><00:15:17.039><c> in</c><00:15:18.080><c> practical</c><00:15:18.539><c> terms</c>

00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:24.899

00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:29.539
to<00:15:25.720><c> make</c><00:15:26.279><c> it</c><00:15:26.480><c> possible</c><00:15:26.940><c> for</c><00:15:27.159><c> Christ</c><00:15:27.379><c> to</c><00:15:27.559><c> be</c><00:15:27.700><c> obedient</c><00:15:28.100><c> as</c><00:15:28.299><c> he</c><00:15:28.519><c> was.</c>

00:15:30.419 --> 00:15:31.840
Well,<00:15:30.580><c> we've</c><00:15:30.860><c> talked</c><00:15:30.980><c> about</c><00:15:31.179><c> the</c><00:15:31.460><c> instruction.</c>

00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:44.240
we've<00:15:39.539><c> been</c><00:15:39.820><c> clued</c><00:15:40.019><c> to</c><00:15:40.279><c> look</c><00:15:40.639><c> for</c><00:15:40.940><c> the</c><00:15:41.340><c> example</c><00:15:42.120><c> that</c><00:15:42.899><c> God</c><00:15:43.240><c> set.</c>

That's<00:15:53.480><c> where</c><00:15:53.639><c> they</c><00:15:53.820><c> are.</c>

00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:56.860
They're<00:15:54.820><c> not</c><00:15:55.019><c> examples</c><00:15:55.539><c> that</c><00:15:55.759><c> Christ</c><00:15:56.000><c> had</c><00:15:56.220><c> access</c><00:15:56.580><c> to</c><00:15:56.759><c> that</c>

00:16:24.340 --> 00:16:28.580
It's<00:16:24.519><c> the</c><00:16:24.740><c> example</c><00:16:25.240><c> that</c><00:16:25.679><c> sets</c><00:16:25.840><c> a</c><00:16:26.159><c> pattern</c><00:16:26.700><c> for</c><00:16:27.440><c> Christ</c><00:16:27.820><c> dealing</c><00:16:28.220><c> with</c>

This<00:28:41.779><c> is</c><00:28:41.960><c> the</c><00:28:42.059><c> woman</c><00:28:42.359><c> by</c><00:28:42.640><c> the</c><00:28:42.920><c> well</c><00:28:43.759><c> in</c><00:28:44.599><c> Sychar.</c>

00:28:45.059 --> 00:28:48.380
Now,<00:28:46.200><c> you</c><00:28:46.339><c> remember</c><00:28:46.680><c> the</c><00:28:46.859><c> background</c><00:28:47.359><c> to</c><00:28:47.559><c> this.</c>

00:28:48.779 --> 00:28:51.579
The<00:28:49.000><c> public</c><00:28:49.400><c> ministry</c><00:28:49.779><c> had</c><00:28:50.079><c> just</c><00:28:50.480><c> begun.</c>

00:28:52.420 --> 00:28:55.220
And<00:28:52.559><c> the</c><00:28:53.480><c> Lord,</c><00:28:53.779><c> following</c><00:28:54.160><c> the</c><00:28:54.400><c> cleansing</c><00:28:54.660><c> of</c><00:28:54.839><c> the</c><00:28:54.980><c> temple,</c>

00:29:01.700 --> 00:29:05.140
And<00:29:02.299><c> John</c><00:29:02.900><c> was</c><00:29:03.099><c> still</c><00:29:03.720><c> making</c><00:29:04.099><c> disciples.</c>

00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:11.599
And<00:29:06.160><c> the</c><00:29:06.279><c> Lord</c><00:29:06.480><c> Jesus</c><00:29:07.420><c> began</c><00:29:08.099><c> to</c><00:29:08.420><c> make</c><00:29:08.839><c> more</c><00:29:09.559><c> disciples</c><00:29:10.180><c> than</c><00:29:10.539><c> John.</c>

00:29:12.220 --> 00:29:13.900
Well,<00:29:12.460><c> you</c><00:29:12.599><c> would</c><00:29:12.680><c> think</c><00:29:12.779><c> that</c><00:29:12.900><c> would</c><00:29:13.099><c> be</c><00:29:13.220><c> a</c><00:29:13.279><c> reason</c><00:29:13.519><c> to</c><00:29:13.720><c> stay</c>

00:29:13.900 --> 00:29:14.619
where<00:29:14.039><c> he</c><00:29:14.200><c> was</c>

00:29:14.619 --> 00:29:16.079
because<00:29:15.000><c> the</c><00:29:15.359><c> work</c><00:29:15.539><c> was</c><00:29:15.720><c> going</c><00:29:15.900><c> well.</c>

00:29:16.200 --> 00:29:19.779
But<00:29:16.220><c> the</c><00:29:16.319><c> problem</c><00:29:16.599><c> was,</c><00:29:16.920><c> along</c><00:29:17.180><c> with</c><00:29:17.440><c> that</c><00:29:17.680><c> was</c><00:29:17.900><c> coming</c><00:29:18.359><c> opposition.</c>

00:29:20.900 --> 00:29:24.680
So<00:29:21.319><c> he</c><00:29:21.839><c> felt</c><00:29:22.119><c> it</c><00:29:22.460><c> necessary</c><00:29:22.900><c> to</c><00:29:23.259><c> leave</c><00:29:23.779><c> Judah.</c>

00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:29.460
He<00:29:26.880><c> was</c><00:29:27.140><c> leaving</c><00:29:27.440><c> because</c><00:29:27.779><c> of</c><00:29:27.940><c> the</c><00:29:28.059><c> mounting</c><00:29:28.380><c> opposition.</c>

00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:33.019
And<00:29:29.480><c> it's</c><00:29:29.880><c> evident</c><00:29:30.240><c> that</c><00:29:30.640><c> as</c><00:29:31.140><c> he</c><00:29:31.319><c> left,</c><00:29:31.500><c> he</c><00:29:31.640><c> was</c><00:29:31.920><c> exhausted.</c>

00:29:33.059 --> 00:29:35.680
Because<00:29:33.380><c> when</c><00:29:33.559><c> they</c><00:29:33.779><c> get</c><00:29:33.980><c> to</c><00:29:34.180><c> this</c><00:29:34.720><c> well</c><00:29:34.920><c> by</c><00:29:35.299><c> Sychar,</c>

00:29:35.779 --> 00:29:37.799
that's<00:29:36.119><c> the</c><00:29:36.319><c> situation</c><00:29:36.799><c> where</c><00:29:37.099><c> the</c><00:29:37.339><c> apostles,</c>

00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:42.259

00:29:42.380 --> 00:29:45.099
And<00:29:42.900><c> the</c><00:29:43.039><c> Lord</c><00:29:43.259><c> is</c><00:29:43.420><c> left</c><00:29:43.619><c> there</c><00:29:43.819><c> because</c><00:29:44.039><c> he's</c><00:29:44.279><c> simply</c><00:29:44.500><c> so</c><00:29:44.799><c> tired</c>

00:29:45.099 --> 00:29:47.339
that<00:29:45.259><c> he</c><00:29:45.319><c> didn't</c><00:29:45.960><c> want</c><00:29:46.299><c> to</c><00:29:46.440><c> go</c><00:29:46.539><c> in</c><00:29:46.700><c> with</c><00:29:46.880><c> them.</c>

Verse<00:29:47.799><c> 6.</c>

00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:51.660
Now,<00:29:48.680><c> Jacob's</c><00:29:48.920><c> well</c><00:29:49.019><c> was</c><00:29:49.279><c> there,</c><00:29:49.519><c> Jesus</c><00:29:49.819><c> therefore</c><00:29:50.279><c> being</c><00:29:50.819><c> weary.</c>
