Good<00:00:32.659><c> morning.</c>

00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:39.399

00:00:42.500 --> 00:00:47.060
We<00:00:42.600><c> have</c><00:00:42.899><c> passed</c><00:00:43.579><c> safely,</c><00:00:44.439><c> I</c><00:00:44.640><c> hope,</c><00:00:45.979><c> in</c><00:00:46.140><c> the</c><00:00:46.240><c> last</c><00:00:46.479><c> two</c><00:00:46.719><c> talks,</c>

00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:00.179
the<00:00:56.520><c> scope</c><00:00:56.880><c> of</c><00:00:57.119><c> his</c><00:00:57.219><c> sacrifice,</c><00:00:59.159><c> and</c><00:00:59.240><c> something</c><00:00:59.539><c> of</c><00:00:59.740><c> the</c><00:00:59.899><c> manner</c><00:01:00.079><c> in</c>

00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:06.760
But<00:01:04.079><c> now</c><00:01:04.260><c> we</c><00:01:04.439><c> are</c><00:01:04.579><c> concerned</c><00:01:04.799><c> primarily</c><00:01:05.260><c> with</c><00:01:05.519><c> his</c><00:01:05.739><c> resurrection</c><00:01:06.159><c> from</c><00:01:06.400><c> the</c><00:01:06.560><c> dead,</c>

00:01:10.299 --> 00:01:12.319
there<00:01:10.319><c> was</c><00:01:10.480><c> very</c><00:01:10.719><c> little</c><00:01:10.939><c> controversy</c><00:01:11.439><c> about</c><00:01:11.760><c> that</c><00:01:11.939><c> in</c><00:01:12.120><c> the</c>

00:01:20.180 --> 00:01:23.159
The<00:01:20.340><c> result</c><00:01:20.640><c> is</c><00:01:20.780><c> that</c><00:01:20.980><c> our</c><00:01:21.159><c> own</c><00:01:21.379><c> statement</c><00:01:21.599><c> of</c><00:01:21.760><c> faith</c><00:01:21.939><c> is</c><00:01:22.120><c> surprisingly</c><00:01:22.540><c> brief</c><00:01:22.920><c> on</c>

The<00:01:38.459><c> Lord</c><00:01:38.700><c> Jesus</c><00:01:39.040><c> was</c><00:01:39.260><c> to</c><00:01:39.420><c> obtain</c><00:01:39.739><c> a</c><00:01:40.040><c> title</c><00:01:40.299><c> to</c><00:01:40.540><c> resurrection</c>

00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:21.939
You<00:02:19.620><c> could</c><00:02:19.879><c> recite</c><00:02:20.180><c> it</c><00:02:20.379><c> and</c><00:02:20.539><c> know</c><00:02:20.759><c> almost</c><00:02:21.139><c> for</c><00:02:21.360><c> sure</c><00:02:21.539><c> exactly</c>

00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.080

00:19:10.859 --> 00:19:13.140
When<00:19:10.980><c> you've</c><00:19:11.339><c> paid</c><00:19:11.480><c> something</c><00:19:11.819><c> over</c><00:19:12.200><c> to</c><00:19:12.380><c> get</c><00:19:12.599><c> something</c><00:19:12.920><c> in</c>

00:19:29.579 --> 00:19:31.920
Now<00:19:29.900><c> they</c><00:19:30.019><c> don't</c><00:19:30.220><c> mind</c><00:19:30.460><c> very</c><00:19:30.700><c> much,</c><00:19:30.940><c> I</c><00:19:31.000><c> think,</c><00:19:31.460><c> so</c><00:19:31.559><c> long</c><00:19:31.680><c> as</c><00:19:31.759><c> we</c>

00:19:38.740 --> 00:19:41.380

00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:23.059
The<00:22:21.200><c> first</c><00:22:21.380><c> is</c><00:22:21.579><c> that</c><00:22:21.720><c> of</c><00:22:21.880><c> Lazarus.</c>

00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:25.920

00:35:09.340 --> 00:35:11.780
I'm<00:35:09.820><c> sure</c><00:35:09.980><c> the</c><00:35:10.159><c> reason</c><00:35:10.380><c> is</c><00:35:10.619><c> quite</c><00:35:10.980><c> plainly</c><00:35:11.420><c> that</c>

00:35:11.780 --> 00:35:14.179

00:35:20.619 --> 00:35:22.619
The<00:35:20.780><c> worked</c><00:35:20.940><c> out</c><00:35:21.159><c> purpose</c><00:35:21.500><c> is</c><00:35:21.739><c> there.</c>

00:35:23.420 --> 00:35:26.039
The<00:35:23.739><c> introduction</c><00:35:24.099><c> of</c><00:35:24.340><c> the</c><00:35:24.440><c> saints</c><00:35:24.659><c> is</c><00:35:24.980><c> presaged.</c>

00:35:26.739 --> 00:35:30.800
Their<00:35:26.960><c> justification</c><00:35:27.480><c> is</c><00:35:27.760><c> provided</c><00:35:28.219><c> for</c><00:35:28.500><c> and</c><00:35:28.840><c> so</c><00:35:29.059><c> is</c><00:35:29.260><c> their</c><00:35:29.440><c> glorification.</c>

00:35:31.019 --> 00:35:33.440
So<00:35:31.199><c> we</c><00:35:31.300><c> can</c><00:35:31.519><c> say</c><00:35:31.820><c> he</c><00:35:32.260><c> glorified</c><00:35:32.860><c> them</c>

00:35:33.440 --> 00:35:35.579

00:41:17.369 --> 00:41:19.929
But<00:41:17.489><c> the</c><00:41:17.630><c> fantasy</c><00:41:17.849><c> of</c><00:41:18.269><c> the</c><00:41:18.530><c> publican</c><00:41:19.070><c> parable</c><00:41:19.369><c> is</c><00:41:19.570><c> there</c>

to<00:41:20.409><c> tell</c><00:41:20.570><c> us</c><00:41:20.730><c> that</c><00:41:20.849><c> we</c><00:41:20.969><c> do</c><00:41:21.150><c> better</c><00:41:21.389><c> to</c><00:41:21.670><c> comport</c><00:41:21.869><c> ourselves</c>

00:41:23.170 --> 00:41:25.869
as<00:41:23.610><c> a</c><00:41:23.869><c> publican</c><00:41:24.429><c> despairing</c><00:41:24.989><c> of</c><00:41:25.150><c> forgiveness</c><00:41:25.489><c> first</c>

00:41:25.869 --> 00:41:28.690
rather<00:41:26.150><c> than</c><00:41:26.309><c> a</c><00:41:26.429><c> Pharisee</c><00:41:27.070><c> assuring</c><00:41:27.449><c> of</c><00:41:27.590><c> his</c><00:41:27.769><c> goodness.</c>

00:41:30.409 --> 00:41:33.130
So<00:41:30.550><c> I</c><00:41:30.630><c> suppose</c><00:41:30.829><c> the</c><00:41:30.989><c> words</c><00:41:31.090><c> are</c><00:41:31.289><c> there</c><00:41:31.389><c> as</c><00:41:31.730><c> a</c><00:41:31.869><c> proper</c><00:41:32.110><c> safeguard.</c>

00:41:37.489 --> 00:41:40.929
They<00:41:37.630><c> must</c><00:41:37.829><c> take</c><00:41:38.070><c> the</c><00:41:38.289><c> right</c><00:41:38.530><c> steps</c><00:41:38.909><c> and</c><00:41:39.550><c> enter</c><00:41:39.769><c> into</c><00:41:39.969><c> the</c><00:41:40.090><c> right</c><00:41:40.289><c> frame</c><00:41:40.469><c> of</c><00:41:40.730><c> mind</c>

00:41:40.929 --> 00:41:42.510
and<00:41:41.369><c> undergo</c><00:41:41.650><c> the</c><00:41:41.889><c> right</c><00:41:42.110><c> surrender</c>

00:41:42.510 --> 00:41:44.250

00:41:44.429 --> 00:41:46.150
And<00:41:44.570><c> I</c><00:41:44.650><c> think</c><00:41:44.789><c> that's</c><00:41:45.170><c> true.</c>

00:41:47.090 --> 00:41:49.130

00:41:49.130 --> 00:41:51.210

00:41:54.269 --> 00:41:55.989
It's<00:41:54.329><c> not</c><00:41:54.550><c> basically</c><00:41:54.929><c> a</c><00:41:55.150><c> part</c><00:41:55.349><c>-believer's</c><00:41:55.849><c> prayer.</c>

we<00:48:21.110><c> learn,</c><00:48:22.170><c> let</c><00:48:22.349><c> us</c><00:48:22.570><c> therefore</c><00:48:22.989><c> come</c><00:48:23.429><c> boldly</c>

00:48:24.750 --> 00:48:28.210
onto<00:48:25.050><c> the</c><00:48:25.269><c> throne</c><00:48:25.449><c> of</c><00:48:25.630><c> grace</c><00:48:25.809><c> that</c><00:48:26.269><c> we</c><00:48:26.530><c> may</c><00:48:26.710><c> obtain</c><00:48:27.150><c> mercy.</c>

00:48:28.530 --> 00:48:31.190
That's<00:48:28.929><c> mercy</c><00:48:29.130><c> for</c><00:48:29.309><c> the</c><00:48:29.429><c> things</c><00:48:29.570><c> we've</c><00:48:29.730><c> done</c><00:48:29.909><c> wrong</c><00:48:30.130><c> already</c>

00:48:31.349 --> 00:48:33.769

00:48:34.230 --> 00:48:36.710
That's<00:48:34.730><c> strength</c><00:48:34.949><c> for</c><00:48:35.210><c> the</c><00:48:35.349><c> trials</c><00:48:35.550><c> to</c><00:48:35.809><c> come.</c>

00:48:39.210 --> 00:48:42.570
We<00:48:39.469><c> must</c><00:48:39.730><c> believe</c><00:48:40.050><c> for</c><00:48:40.389><c> this</c><00:48:40.889><c> critical</c><00:48:41.510><c> part</c><00:48:41.809><c> of</c><00:48:41.989><c> our</c><00:48:42.170><c> experience</c>
