00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:03.480
And<00:22:00.339><c> there</c><00:22:00.640><c> she</c><00:22:00.859><c> was,</c><00:22:02.019><c> the</c><00:22:02.180><c> one</c><00:22:02.339><c> who</c><00:22:02.380><c> was</c><00:22:02.559><c> going</c><00:22:02.680><c> to</c><00:22:02.839><c> give</c><00:22:03.079><c> birth</c><00:22:03.279><c> to</c>

00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:31.619
He<00:38:29.960><c> took</c><00:38:30.239><c> Israel</c><00:38:30.579><c> by</c><00:38:30.860><c> the</c><00:38:31.119><c> hand</c>

00:38:31.619 --> 00:38:33.280

00:38:37.219 --> 00:38:39.119
Oh,<00:38:37.539><c> what</c><00:38:37.719><c> a</c><00:38:38.039><c> marvelous</c><00:38:38.340><c> thing</c><00:38:38.559><c> that</c><00:38:38.739><c> is.</c>

00:38:39.519 --> 00:38:40.840
Time<00:38:39.920><c> would</c><00:38:40.380><c> fail</c><00:38:40.579><c> me</c>

00:38:40.840 --> 00:38:41.719

00:38:54.480 --> 00:38:55.980
Because<00:38:54.679><c> God</c><00:38:54.920><c> made</c><00:38:55.179><c> a</c><00:38:55.300><c> marvelous</c><00:38:55.679><c> covenant</c>

00:38:55.980 --> 00:38:56.820
to<00:38:56.159><c> those</c><00:38:56.420><c> fathers.</c>

00:38:57.119 --> 00:38:58.360
They<00:38:57.260><c> were</c><00:38:57.460><c> the</c><00:38:57.699><c> first</c><00:38:58.059><c> fathers</c>

00:38:59.760 --> 00:39:00.820
And<00:38:59.940><c> that</c><00:39:00.119><c> covenant</c><00:39:00.360><c> was</c><00:39:00.579><c> made</c>

00:39:04.559 --> 00:39:06.139
And<00:39:04.739><c> they</c><00:39:04.920><c> lived</c><00:39:05.019><c> for</c><00:39:05.239><c> hundreds</c><00:39:05.579><c> of</c><00:39:05.900><c> years.</c>

00:39:06.340 --> 00:39:07.340
And<00:39:06.519><c> people</c><00:39:06.760><c> kept</c><00:39:07.019><c> thinking,</c>

00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:09.539
I<00:39:07.760><c> wonder</c><00:39:08.099><c> if</c><00:39:08.280><c> God's</c><00:39:08.679><c> forgotten.</c>

00:39:10.039 --> 00:39:11.440
And<00:39:10.360><c> mercy</c><00:39:10.559><c> was</c><00:39:10.880><c> absolutely</c>

00:39:11.440 --> 00:39:13.559
fundamental<00:39:12.099><c> to</c><00:39:12.300><c> that</c><00:39:12.519><c> covenant.</c>

00:39:13.619 --> 00:39:14.980
Psalm<00:39:13.699><c> 105</c><00:39:14.320><c> is</c><00:39:14.659><c> here.</c>

00:39:15.139 --> 00:39:15.900
We'll<00:39:15.360><c> see</c><00:39:15.539><c> it</c><00:39:15.679><c> again</c>

00:39:15.900 --> 00:39:17.719
in<00:39:16.639><c> the</c><00:39:16.760><c> speech</c><00:39:17.000><c> of</c><00:39:17.219><c> Zechariah</c>

00:39:20.019 --> 00:39:21.000
We'll<00:39:20.159><c> leave</c><00:39:20.420><c> it</c><00:39:20.539><c> for</c><00:39:20.739><c> that.</c>

00:39:21.219 --> 00:39:22.699
But<00:39:21.380><c> Psalm</c><00:39:21.599><c> 105</c><00:39:22.199><c> is</c><00:39:22.519><c> here.</c>

There<00:39:24.679><c> are</c><00:39:24.860><c> many</c><00:39:25.119><c> things,</c><00:39:25.619><c> many</c><00:39:26.000><c> Psalms.</c>

00:39:26.519 --> 00:39:28.019

00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:29.199
You<00:39:28.199><c> know,</c><00:39:28.300><c> when</c><00:39:28.500><c> Paul</c><00:39:28.739><c> was</c><00:39:28.980><c> talking</c>

00:39:30.920 --> 00:39:31.659
and<00:39:31.079><c> he</c><00:39:31.199><c> said</c><00:39:31.360><c> to</c><00:39:31.420><c> them,</c>

00:39:31.800 --> 00:39:34.780
God<00:39:32.139><c> is</c><00:39:32.440><c> not</c><00:39:32.679><c> unrighteous</c><00:39:33.179><c> to</c><00:39:33.460><c> forget</c>

00:39:38.119 --> 00:39:40.280
which<00:39:38.300><c> he</c><00:39:38.460><c> had</c><00:39:38.579><c> towards</c><00:39:38.940><c> his</c><00:39:39.199><c> name.</c>

00:39:40.800 --> 00:39:42.619
And<00:39:41.320><c> he</c><00:39:41.519><c> says,</c>

00:39:43.199 --> 00:39:44.559
he's<00:39:43.300><c> not</c><00:39:43.500><c> unrighteous</c><00:39:43.900><c> to</c><00:39:44.139><c> forget</c>

00:39:52.659 --> 00:39:53.860
That's<00:39:52.960><c> backwards.</c>

00:39:55.559 --> 00:39:58.039
That's<00:39:56.000><c> backwards</c><00:39:56.320><c> in</c><00:39:56.539><c> Hebrews</c><00:39:56.840><c> 6.</c>

00:39:58.099 --> 00:40:00.179
God<00:39:58.300><c> won't</c><00:39:58.639><c> forget.</c>

00:40:00.260 --> 00:40:02.159
With<00:40:00.420><c> us</c><00:40:00.599><c> it's</c><00:40:00.840><c> faith,</c><00:40:01.340><c> hope</c><00:40:01.619><c> and</c><00:40:01.760><c> love.</c>

But<00:40:02.719><c> God</c><00:40:02.920><c> won't</c><00:40:03.179><c> forget.</c>

00:40:03.559 --> 00:40:06.219
He<00:40:03.559><c> says</c><00:40:03.780><c> your</c><00:40:04.019><c> love,</c><00:40:04.639><c> hope</c><00:40:04.960><c> and</c><00:40:05.219><c> faith.</c>

00:40:06.260 --> 00:40:06.940
That's<00:40:06.719><c> backwards.</c>

00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:08.500

Not<00:40:12.739><c> from</c><00:40:13.000><c> there</c><00:40:13.199><c> perhaps</c><00:40:13.440><c> she's</c><00:40:13.699><c> getting</c><00:40:13.900><c> it</c><00:40:14.059><c> from,</c>

00:40:14.179 --> 00:40:15.300

00:40:17.159 --> 00:40:18.000

that<00:40:19.059><c> mercy</c><00:40:19.420><c> was</c><00:40:19.800><c> fundamental</c>

00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:22.139

00:40:26.880 --> 00:40:28.079

00:40:41.960 --> 00:40:42.559
God<00:40:42.219><c> says,</c>

00:40:42.860 --> 00:40:43.860
if<00:40:42.960><c> when</c><00:40:43.119><c> they've</c><00:40:43.400><c> gone</c><00:40:43.619><c> through</c>

00:40:49.260 --> 00:40:49.619
He<00:40:49.420><c> said,</c>

00:40:49.739 --> 00:40:50.920
I<00:40:49.920><c> will</c><00:40:50.159><c> forgive</c><00:40:50.460><c> them.</c>

00:40:51.099 --> 00:40:52.679
And<00:40:51.380><c> I</c><00:40:51.579><c> will</c><00:40:51.860><c> remember</c>

00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:54.780

00:41:19.380 --> 00:41:21.480

00:41:39.500 --> 00:41:40.659
Oh,<00:41:39.980><c> brethren</c><00:41:40.159><c> and</c><00:41:40.400><c> sisters,</c>

00:41:49.820 --> 00:41:51.659
I'd<00:41:50.179><c> love</c><00:41:50.320><c> to</c><00:41:50.500><c> take</c><00:41:50.699><c> you</c><00:41:50.800><c> to</c><00:41:50.900><c> the</c><00:41:51.159><c> context</c>

00:41:57.000 --> 00:41:58.400
We<00:41:57.239><c> could</c><00:41:57.380><c> go</c><00:41:57.619><c> on</c><00:41:58.099><c> and</c><00:41:58.280><c> on,</c>

00:41:58.400 --> 00:41:59.719
but<00:41:58.480><c> we</c><00:41:58.639><c> won't</c><00:41:58.860><c> do</c><00:41:59.119><c> that.</c>

00:42:00.019 --> 00:42:01.260
As<00:42:00.159><c> He</c><00:42:00.360><c> spake</c><00:42:00.599><c> to</c><00:42:00.800><c> our</c><00:42:01.000><c> fathers</c>

00:42:04.420 --> 00:42:05.500
Imagine<00:42:04.739><c> how</c><00:42:05.019><c> breathless</c>

00:42:05.500 --> 00:42:06.920
Mary<00:42:05.800><c> would</c><00:42:05.960><c> be</c><00:42:06.099><c> as</c><00:42:06.280><c> I</c><00:42:06.480><c> am</c><00:42:06.579><c> now.</c>

00:42:07.239 --> 00:42:08.239
Because<00:42:07.280><c> look,</c><00:42:07.519><c> I</c><00:42:07.679><c> think</c><00:42:07.860><c> that's</c><00:42:08.059><c> one</c>

00:42:08.239 --> 00:42:09.659
of<00:42:08.300><c> the</c><00:42:08.420><c> most</c><00:42:08.659><c> wonderful</c><00:42:09.300><c> psalms</c>

00:42:09.659 --> 00:42:11.400

00:42:12.099 --> 00:42:12.599
Oh<00:42:12.340><c> dear.</c>

00:42:12.920 --> 00:42:14.860
Look,<00:42:13.300><c> when</c><00:42:13.480><c> I</c><00:42:14.099><c> did</c><00:42:14.320><c> that</c><00:42:14.659><c> study</c>

00:44:47.119 --> 00:44:48.719

The<00:45:34.820><c> grace</c><00:45:35.119><c> of</c><00:45:35.320><c> God.</c>

00:45:36.059 --> 00:45:37.820

He<00:46:55.000><c> was</c><00:46:55.219><c> to</c><00:46:55.340><c> be</c><00:46:55.440><c> the</c><00:46:55.639><c> grace</c><00:46:55.880><c> of</c><00:46:56.099><c> God.</c>

00:46:59.079 --> 00:47:00.539
Absolutely<00:46:59.559><c> marvelous.</c>

00:47:00.760 --> 00:47:03.300
And<00:47:00.840><c> you</c><00:47:00.940><c> know</c><00:47:01.059><c> as</c><00:47:01.199><c> you</c><00:47:01.360><c> go</c><00:47:01.519><c> through</c><00:47:01.739><c> this</c><00:47:02.000><c> story</c><00:47:02.260><c> here</c>

00:47:08.880 --> 00:47:10.719
they<00:47:09.360><c> came</c><00:47:09.599><c> together</c><00:47:10.119><c> and</c>

00:47:10.719 --> 00:47:13.380
how<00:47:10.860><c> God</c><00:47:11.280><c> had</c><00:47:11.559><c> showed</c><00:47:11.820><c> great</c><00:47:12.340><c> mercy</c><00:47:12.739><c> upon</c><00:47:13.059><c> her.</c>

00:47:13.719 --> 00:47:15.420
You<00:47:13.900><c> know</c><00:47:14.079><c> the</c><00:47:14.320><c> expression</c><00:47:14.699><c> in</c><00:47:14.900><c> the</c><00:47:15.139><c> Greek</c>

00:47:15.420 --> 00:47:18.320
great<00:47:16.539><c> mercy</c><00:47:17.059><c> upon</c><00:47:17.360><c> her,</c><00:47:17.599><c> brothers</c><00:47:17.820><c> and</c><00:47:18.019><c> sisters</c>

00:47:18.320 --> 00:47:20.659
is<00:47:18.679><c> an</c><00:47:18.840><c> expression</c><00:47:19.260><c> which</c><00:47:19.639><c> really</c><00:47:20.139><c> indicates</c>

00:47:20.659 --> 00:47:22.840
mercy<00:47:21.260><c> upon</c><00:47:21.679><c> mercy.</c>

00:47:23.139 --> 00:47:25.800
God<00:47:23.179><c> had</c><00:47:23.460><c> shown</c><00:47:23.619><c> mercy</c><00:47:24.280><c> upon</c><00:47:24.760><c> mercy.</c>

00:47:25.880 --> 00:47:28.840
And<00:47:25.960><c> of</c><00:47:26.139><c> course</c><00:47:26.360><c> John</c><00:47:26.900><c> was</c><00:47:27.679><c> the</c><00:47:28.079><c> grace</c><00:47:28.340><c> of</c><00:47:28.559><c> God.</c>

00:47:29.179 --> 00:47:31.019
And<00:47:29.300><c> John</c><00:47:29.539><c> the</c><00:47:29.780><c> apostle</c><00:47:30.179><c> said</c><00:47:30.500><c> concerning</c>

the<00:47:31.519><c> preaching</c><00:47:31.739><c> of</c><00:47:31.940><c> John</c><00:47:32.159><c> the</c><00:47:32.360><c> Baptist</c>

00:47:34.320 --> 00:47:37.480
that<00:47:34.679><c> we</c><00:47:34.880><c> have</c><00:47:35.139><c> seen</c><00:47:35.440><c> grace</c><00:47:35.940><c> for</c><00:47:36.400><c> grace.</c>

00:47:38.099 --> 00:47:41.360
That's<00:47:38.420><c> exactly</c><00:47:39.139><c> near</c><00:47:39.980><c> the</c><00:47:40.199><c> expression</c><00:47:40.659><c> used</c><00:47:40.980><c> here.</c>

00:47:41.659 --> 00:47:44.039
God<00:47:41.920><c> had</c><00:47:42.179><c> shown</c><00:47:42.380><c> great</c><00:47:43.000><c> mercy</c><00:47:43.460><c> upon</c><00:47:43.760><c> her.</c>

00:47:44.039 --> 00:47:46.500
And<00:47:44.360><c> they</c><00:47:44.559><c> rejoiced</c><00:47:45.420><c> with</c><00:47:45.679><c> her.</c>

00:47:46.960 --> 00:47:49.599
And<00:47:47.099><c> it</c><00:47:47.199><c> says</c><00:47:47.460><c> they</c><00:47:47.639><c> came</c><00:47:47.960><c> to</c><00:47:48.159><c> pass</c><00:47:48.320><c> on</c><00:47:48.500><c> the</c><00:47:48.639><c> eighth</c><00:47:48.900><c> day</c>

00:47:49.599 --> 00:47:52.440
they<00:47:50.199><c> came</c><00:47:50.460><c> to</c><00:47:50.780><c> circumcise</c><00:47:51.400><c> the</c><00:47:51.639><c> child.</c>

00:47:53.079 --> 00:47:54.940
We're<00:47:53.139><c> not</c><00:47:53.300><c> going</c><00:47:53.400><c> to</c><00:47:53.480><c> go</c><00:47:53.559><c> into</c><00:47:53.820><c> circumcision</c><00:47:54.360><c> here.</c>

00:47:55.260 --> 00:47:57.840
We'll<00:47:55.559><c> reserve</c><00:47:55.920><c> that</c><00:47:56.239><c> for</c><00:47:56.400><c> our</c><00:47:56.639><c> Sunday</c><00:47:56.860><c> morning</c><00:47:57.179><c> exhortation</c>

00:47:57.840 --> 00:48:00.000
when<00:47:57.960><c> they</c><00:47:58.179><c> brought</c><00:47:58.340><c> our</c><00:47:58.659><c> Lord</c><00:47:58.880><c> to</c><00:47:59.079><c> be</c><00:47:59.340><c> circumcised.</c>

00:48:00.480 --> 00:48:02.880
Where<00:48:00.599><c> it</c><00:48:00.699><c> is</c><00:48:00.880><c> far</c><00:48:01.199><c> more</c><00:48:01.559><c> meaningful,</c><00:48:02.239><c> brothers</c><00:48:02.320><c> and</c><00:48:02.519><c> sisters.</c>

00:48:03.360 --> 00:48:05.260
But<00:48:03.539><c> merely</c><00:48:03.760><c> to</c><00:48:04.019><c> say</c><00:48:04.199><c> this</c>

00:48:05.260 --> 00:48:08.360
circumcision<00:48:06.219><c> to</c><00:48:06.440><c> them</c><00:48:06.699><c> was</c><00:48:06.940><c> always</c><00:48:07.639><c> associated</c>

00:48:08.360 --> 00:48:09.800
with<00:48:08.960><c> naming</c><00:48:09.360><c> the</c><00:48:09.639><c> child.</c>

00:48:09.860 --> 00:48:11.059
Of<00:48:10.139><c> course</c><00:48:10.440><c> it</c><00:48:10.639><c> was.</c>

00:48:11.059 --> 00:48:13.440
Because<00:48:11.820><c> that's</c><00:48:12.039><c> how</c><00:48:12.239><c> it</c><00:48:12.360><c> originated.</c>

00:48:14.119 --> 00:48:15.619
You<00:48:14.119><c> see</c><00:48:14.320><c> they</c><00:48:14.500><c> were</c><00:48:14.739><c> following</c><00:48:15.079><c> scripture.</c>

00:48:16.119 --> 00:48:17.300
Because<00:48:16.179><c> you</c><00:48:16.380><c> see</c><00:48:16.519><c> in</c><00:48:16.699><c> Genesis</c><00:48:17.019><c> 17</c>

00:48:17.719 --> 00:48:21.800
God<00:48:18.159><c> said</c><00:48:18.739><c> thy</c><00:48:19.559><c> name</c><00:48:19.900><c> shall</c><00:48:20.139><c> no</c><00:48:20.420><c> more</c><00:48:20.619><c> be</c><00:48:20.840><c> called</c><00:48:21.019><c> Abram</c>

00:48:22.019 --> 00:48:24.420
but<00:48:22.579><c> Abraham</c><00:48:23.139><c> shall</c><00:48:23.460><c> thy</c><00:48:23.679><c> name</c><00:48:24.000><c> be</c>

00:48:24.420 --> 00:48:28.039
for<00:48:25.199><c> a</c><00:48:25.800><c> father</c><00:48:26.139><c> of</c><00:48:26.400><c> many</c><00:48:26.619><c> nations</c><00:48:27.000><c> have</c><00:48:27.320><c> I</c><00:48:27.599><c> made</c><00:48:27.840><c> thee.</c>

00:48:28.239 --> 00:48:31.360
And<00:48:28.239><c> then</c><00:48:28.420><c> he</c><00:48:28.559><c> told</c><00:48:28.860><c> him</c><00:48:29.219><c> to</c><00:48:29.639><c> circumcise</c><00:48:30.099><c> his</c><00:48:30.360><c> children.</c>

00:48:31.800 --> 00:48:34.260
So<00:48:31.900><c> it</c><00:48:32.039><c> was</c><00:48:32.320><c> traditional</c><00:48:32.780><c> in</c><00:48:33.039><c> Israel</c><00:48:33.280><c> and</c><00:48:33.699><c> scriptural</c>

00:48:34.260 --> 00:48:37.619
that<00:48:34.539><c> a</c><00:48:34.739><c> child</c><00:48:34.940><c> was</c><00:48:35.260><c> named</c><00:48:35.599><c> on</c><00:48:35.880><c> the</c><00:48:36.059><c> day</c><00:48:36.260><c> of</c><00:48:36.579><c> circumcision.</c>

00:48:38.260 --> 00:48:39.300
But<00:48:38.400><c> you</c><00:48:38.579><c> see</c><00:48:38.659><c> there's</c><00:48:38.840><c> more</c><00:48:39.079><c> in</c><00:48:39.219><c> it</c>

00:48:39.300 --> 00:48:41.280
more<00:48:39.300><c> than</c><00:48:39.440><c> that</c><00:48:39.800><c> brethren</c><00:48:40.159><c> and</c><00:48:40.400><c> sisters.</c>

00:48:41.380 --> 00:48:44.719
Because<00:48:41.639><c> you</c><00:48:41.840><c> see</c><00:48:42.059><c> circumcision</c><00:48:42.719><c> is</c><00:48:42.920><c> a</c><00:48:43.079><c> cutting</c><00:48:43.239><c> off</c><00:48:43.440><c> of</c><00:48:43.579><c> the</c><00:48:43.800><c> flesh.</c>

00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:46.179
But<00:48:45.139><c> it's</c><00:48:45.380><c> more</c><00:48:45.619><c> than</c><00:48:45.900><c> that.</c>

00:48:46.320 --> 00:48:49.719
It's<00:48:46.579><c> the</c><00:48:46.739><c> cutting</c><00:48:46.920><c> off</c><00:48:47.219><c> of</c><00:48:47.480><c> that</c><00:48:47.980><c> part</c><00:48:48.400><c> of</c><00:48:48.659><c> the</c><00:48:48.880><c> flesh</c>

00:48:49.900 --> 00:48:53.760
by<00:48:50.420><c> which</c><00:48:50.679><c> procreation</c><00:48:52.199><c> is</c><00:48:52.739><c> achieved.</c>

00:48:54.320 --> 00:48:57.579
And<00:48:54.420><c> therefore</c><00:48:54.920><c> if</c><00:48:55.199><c> it's</c><00:48:55.480><c> cutting</c><00:48:55.639><c> off</c><00:48:56.039><c> that</c><00:48:56.440><c> part</c><00:48:56.679><c> of</c><00:48:56.900><c> the</c><00:48:57.019><c> flesh</c>

00:48:57.579 --> 00:49:02.280
which<00:48:58.159><c> brings</c><00:48:58.559><c> to</c><00:48:58.860><c> a</c><00:48:58.960><c> finale</c><00:48:59.400><c> that</c><00:49:00.079><c> human</c><00:49:00.619><c> procreation</c>

00:49:02.300 --> 00:49:05.820
then<00:49:02.659><c> the</c><00:49:02.960><c> naming</c><00:49:03.219><c> of</c><00:49:03.460><c> the</c><00:49:03.639><c> child</c><00:49:03.860><c> has</c><00:49:04.099><c> to</c><00:49:04.320><c> do</c><00:49:04.440><c> with</c><00:49:04.719><c> God's</c><00:49:05.460><c> destiny</c>

00:49:05.820 --> 00:49:07.280
with<00:49:06.079><c> him</c><00:49:06.199><c> and</c><00:49:06.360><c> not</c><00:49:06.619><c> man's.</c>

00:49:07.280 --> 00:49:08.739
And<00:49:07.460><c> so</c><00:49:07.699><c> God</c><00:49:07.940><c> said</c><00:49:08.159><c> to</c><00:49:08.480><c> Abram</c>

00:49:08.739 --> 00:49:11.039
your<00:49:09.280><c> father</c><00:49:09.699><c> might</c><00:49:09.960><c> have</c><00:49:10.159><c> called</c><00:49:10.340><c> you</c><00:49:10.599><c> Abram.</c>

00:49:11.360 --> 00:49:12.320
That's<00:49:11.559><c> seating</c><00:49:11.800><c> Abraham.</c>
