00:00:14.939 --> 00:00:19.460
I<00:00:15.099><c> have</c><00:00:15.339><c> a</c><00:00:15.439><c> tendency</c><00:00:15.759><c> to</c><00:00:16.199><c> pick</c><00:00:16.460><c> up</c><00:00:17.100><c> phrases</c><00:00:17.699><c> along</c><00:00:18.280><c> the</c><00:00:18.480><c> way,</c>

00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:21.399

like<00:00:21.600><c> that</c><00:00:21.760><c> phrase</c><00:00:22.000><c> is</c><00:00:22.280><c> appropriate,</c><00:00:22.699><c> I</c><00:00:22.940><c> will</c><00:00:23.219><c> say</c><00:00:23.440><c> it.</c>

00:00:24.820 --> 00:00:29.320
The<00:00:25.140><c> annoying</c><00:00:25.320><c> part</c><00:00:25.600><c> is</c><00:00:25.820><c> that</c><00:00:26.000><c> I</c><00:00:26.059><c> will</c><00:00:26.260><c> say</c><00:00:26.399><c> it</c><00:00:26.739><c> every</c><00:00:27.019><c> single</c><00:00:28.079><c> time.</c>

00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:50.340
One<00:00:45.439><c> of</c><00:00:45.579><c> the</c><00:00:45.719><c> phrases</c><00:00:46.219><c> that</c><00:00:47.299><c> I</c><00:00:47.560><c> use</c><00:00:48.000><c> and</c><00:00:49.299><c> that</c><00:00:49.640><c> immediately</c><00:00:49.979><c> gets,</c><00:00:50.340><c> I</c>

00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:03.259
And<00:00:59.340><c> the</c><00:00:59.460><c> phrase</c><00:00:59.659><c> comes</c><00:01:00.020><c> from</c><00:01:00.399><c> Indiana</c><00:01:00.799><c> Jones</c><00:01:01.280><c> and</c><00:01:01.579><c> the</c><00:01:01.679><c> Last</c><00:01:02.039><c> Crusade.</c>

00:11:15.680 --> 00:11:19.299
But<00:11:15.980><c> we</c><00:11:16.279><c> all</c><00:11:16.559><c> understand,</c><00:11:17.440><c> don't</c><00:11:17.539><c> we,</c><00:11:17.779><c> brothers</c><00:11:18.080><c> and</c><00:11:18.340><c> sisters,</c>

00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:29.840
And<00:11:26.700><c> in</c><00:11:26.940><c> past,</c><00:11:27.259><c> we</c><00:11:27.419><c> were</c><00:11:27.759><c> not</c><00:11:28.019><c> a</c><00:11:28.200><c> people,</c><00:11:28.840><c> and</c><00:11:29.460><c> we've</c><00:11:29.720><c> talked</c>

Isn't<00:11:42.899><c> it</c><00:11:43.220><c> incredible?</c>

00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:47.360

00:13:48.299 --> 00:13:50.860
So<00:13:48.740><c> this</c><00:13:48.960><c> morning,</c><00:13:49.220><c> we're</c><00:13:49.419><c> going</c><00:13:49.500><c> to</c><00:13:49.559><c> look</c><00:13:49.720><c> at</c><00:13:49.860><c> a</c><00:13:50.019><c> man</c><00:13:50.240><c> who</c><00:13:50.500><c> I</c>

00:13:50.860 --> 00:13:54.080
believe<00:13:51.379><c> thought</c><00:13:52.740><c> it</c><00:13:52.840><c> was</c><00:13:53.039><c> about</c><00:13:53.279><c> him.</c>

00:13:55.100 --> 00:13:59.519
And<00:13:55.539><c> God</c><00:13:55.740><c> chose</c><00:13:56.059><c> him</c><00:13:57.519><c> in</c><00:13:57.960><c> order</c><00:13:58.120><c> to</c><00:13:58.379><c> teach</c><00:13:58.539><c> him</c><00:13:58.679><c> that</c><00:13:58.820><c> it</c><00:13:58.940><c> was</c><00:13:59.139><c> not.</c>

00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:03.019
So<00:14:00.200><c> again,</c><00:14:00.399><c> let's</c><00:14:00.639><c> go</c><00:14:01.000><c> to</c><00:14:01.240><c> Acts</c><00:14:01.539><c> chapter</c><00:14:01.840><c> nine.</c>

00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:06.159
And<00:14:03.679><c> we'll</c><00:14:03.860><c> pick</c><00:14:03.960><c> it</c><00:14:04.080><c> up</c><00:14:04.220><c> at</c><00:14:04.679><c> the</c><00:14:04.960><c> beginning</c><00:14:05.340><c> of</c><00:14:05.700><c> Acts</c><00:14:05.919><c> chapter</c>

00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:07.940
nine,<00:14:06.620><c> verse</c><00:14:06.840><c> one.</c>

00:14:08.139 --> 00:14:09.080
I<00:14:08.259><c> should</c><00:14:08.399><c> have</c><00:14:08.539><c> had</c><00:14:08.620><c> this</c><00:14:08.899><c> chapter.</c>

00:14:09.139 --> 00:14:10.360
Oh,<00:14:09.299><c> I</c><00:14:09.360><c> do</c><00:14:09.500><c> have</c><00:14:09.639><c> it.</c>

00:14:12.920 --> 00:14:22.259
It<00:14:13.320><c> says,</c><00:14:14.220><c> and</c><00:14:14.220><c> Saul</c><00:14:15.080><c> breathing</c><00:14:16.480><c> out</c><00:14:17.000><c> threatenings</c><00:14:18.340><c> and</c><00:14:19.200><c> slaughter</c><00:14:20.000><c> against</c><00:14:22.000><c> the</c>

00:14:22.259 --> 00:14:25.799
disciples<00:14:22.600><c> of</c><00:14:22.919><c> the</c><00:14:23.019><c> Lord</c><00:14:23.740><c> went</c><00:14:24.840><c> on</c><00:14:25.059><c> to</c><00:14:25.179><c> the</c><00:14:25.320><c> high</c><00:14:25.580><c> priest.</c>

00:14:26.179 --> 00:14:29.000
So<00:14:26.559><c> so</c><00:14:26.779><c> what</c><00:14:27.000><c> right</c><00:14:27.139><c> does</c><00:14:27.259><c> he</c><00:14:27.419><c> have</c><00:14:27.519><c> to</c><00:14:27.679><c> do</c><00:14:27.860><c> this?</c>

00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:31.679
Well,<00:14:29.980><c> he</c><00:14:30.100><c> has</c><00:14:30.279><c> the</c><00:14:30.440><c> right</c><00:14:30.539><c> of</c><00:14:30.759><c> this.</c>

00:14:32.179 --> 00:14:35.620
The<00:14:32.320><c> other</c><00:14:32.480><c> people</c><00:14:32.679><c> would</c><00:14:32.799><c> do</c><00:14:32.960><c> it</c><00:14:33.059><c> if</c><00:14:33.120><c> they</c><00:14:33.299><c> had</c><00:14:33.379><c> the</c><00:14:33.580><c> guts,</c><00:14:34.259><c> and</c><00:14:34.500><c> he</c><00:14:34.700><c> did.</c>

00:14:36.299 --> 00:14:38.100
Right.<00:14:36.500><c> You</c><00:14:36.600><c> don't</c><00:14:36.740><c> just</c><00:14:36.899><c> go</c><00:14:37.100><c> to</c><00:14:37.220><c> the</c><00:14:37.340><c> high</c><00:14:37.519><c> priest,</c><00:14:37.720><c> by</c><00:14:37.940><c> the</c><00:14:38.019><c> way.</c>

00:14:38.100 --> 00:14:39.820
You<00:14:38.139><c> don't</c><00:14:38.299><c> just</c><00:14:38.460><c> knock</c><00:14:38.679><c> on</c><00:14:38.799><c> his</c><00:14:38.960><c> door</c><00:14:39.179><c> and</c><00:14:39.320><c> say,</c><00:14:39.480><c> Hi,</c><00:14:39.600><c> how</c><00:14:39.759><c> are</c>

you<00:14:39.860><c> doing?</c>

00:14:40.340 --> 00:14:41.399
This<00:14:40.559><c> is</c><00:14:40.759><c> this</c><00:14:40.759><c> is</c><00:14:41.200><c> Saul.</c>

00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:42.899
I<00:14:42.240><c> got</c><00:14:42.299><c> an</c><00:14:42.559><c> idea.</c>

00:14:43.179 --> 00:14:45.150
I<00:14:43.179><c> want</c><00:14:43.240><c> to</c><00:14:43.320><c> get</c><00:14:43.460><c> your</c><00:14:43.799><c> your</c><00:14:44.080><c> input</c><00:14:44.240><c> on</c><00:14:44.460><c> it.</c>

00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:48.379
But<00:14:46.220><c> it</c><00:14:46.299><c> was</c><00:14:46.399><c> an</c><00:14:46.559><c> idea</c><00:14:46.700><c> that</c><00:14:46.879><c> the</c><00:14:47.019><c> high</c><00:14:47.200><c> priest</c><00:14:47.440><c> liked.</c>

00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:50.990
And<00:14:49.179><c> so</c><00:14:49.340><c> he</c><00:14:49.460><c> knew</c><00:14:49.519><c> he</c><00:14:49.659><c> could</c><00:14:49.779><c> take</c><00:14:50.000><c> it</c><00:14:50.139><c> to</c><00:14:50.299><c> him.</c>

00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:52.559
So<00:14:51.799><c> why</c><00:14:52.000><c> did</c><00:14:52.240><c> again?</c>

00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:55.030
I<00:14:52.779><c> asked</c><00:14:52.960><c> him</c><00:14:53.179><c> this</c><00:14:53.440><c> morning,</c><00:14:53.639><c> why</c><00:14:53.879><c> did</c><00:14:54.000><c> he</c><00:14:54.159><c> do</c><00:14:54.340><c> it?</c>

00:14:55.460 --> 00:14:57.820
Well,<00:14:55.600><c> he's</c><00:14:55.759><c> looking</c><00:14:55.879><c> to</c><00:14:56.059><c> make</c><00:14:56.200><c> a</c><00:14:56.360><c> name</c><00:14:56.519><c> for</c><00:14:56.759><c> himself.</c>

00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:01.500
But<00:14:59.019><c> there's</c><00:14:59.279><c> something</c><00:14:59.500><c> else</c><00:14:59.740><c> that</c><00:14:59.919><c> he's</c><00:15:00.139><c> doing,</c><00:15:00.539><c> but</c><00:15:00.639><c> he</c><00:15:00.799><c> says</c><00:15:00.960><c> that</c><00:15:01.159><c> we're</c><00:15:01.320><c> going</c><00:15:01.379><c> to</c>

00:15:01.500 --> 00:15:05.019

00:15:05.740 --> 00:15:09.879
And<00:15:06.220><c> that</c><00:15:06.500><c> is</c><00:15:07.259><c> just</c><00:15:07.820><c> what</c><00:15:08.000><c> a</c><00:15:08.100><c> lot</c><00:15:08.299><c> of</c><00:15:08.500><c> people</c><00:15:08.720><c> do.</c>

00:15:10.339 --> 00:15:12.500
Who<00:15:10.819><c> persecute</c><00:15:11.299><c> you.</c>

00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:15.440

00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:18.659
How<00:15:16.419><c> many</c><00:15:16.539><c> times</c><00:15:16.720><c> have</c><00:15:16.879><c> we</c><00:15:17.039><c> seen</c><00:15:17.200><c> that</c><00:15:17.440><c> in</c><00:15:17.559><c> people</c><00:15:17.879><c> that</c><00:15:18.440><c> that</c>

00:15:18.659 --> 00:15:22.879

00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:26.860
Well,<00:15:23.519><c> that</c><00:15:23.639><c> person,</c><00:15:24.259><c> whoever</c><00:15:24.399><c> that</c><00:15:24.799><c> person</c><00:15:25.179><c> is,</c><00:15:26.240><c> they're</c><00:15:26.559><c> a</c><00:15:26.679><c> sinner.</c>

00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:27.980
They're<00:15:27.259><c> this,</c><00:15:27.580><c> they're</c><00:15:27.820><c> that.</c>

00:15:32.419 --> 00:15:35.019
We<00:15:33.139><c> see</c><00:15:33.340><c> it</c><00:15:33.539><c> again</c><00:15:33.740><c> and</c><00:15:33.899><c> again</c><00:15:34.100><c> and</c><00:15:34.259><c> again,</c><00:15:34.659><c> because</c><00:15:34.759><c> that's</c>

00:15:35.019 --> 00:15:42.200
what<00:15:35.519><c> that's</c><00:15:35.720><c> what</c><00:15:36.059><c> creates</c><00:15:36.519><c> that</c><00:15:36.899><c> attitude</c><00:15:37.440><c> of</c><00:15:38.960><c> of</c><00:15:39.600><c> overzealousness</c><00:15:41.000><c> for</c><00:15:41.899><c> my</c>

own<00:15:43.080><c> thinking.</c>

00:15:44.659 --> 00:15:47.220
Because<00:15:45.379><c> everyone</c><00:15:45.960><c> is</c><00:15:46.340><c> sinners.</c>

00:15:47.940 --> 00:15:49.700
Everyone<00:15:48.460><c> is</c><00:15:48.820><c> struggling.</c>

00:15:50.059 --> 00:15:52.960
Everyone<00:15:50.500><c> has</c><00:15:50.860><c> skeletons</c><00:15:51.360><c> in</c><00:15:51.720><c> their</c><00:15:51.919><c> closet.</c>

00:15:53.539 --> 00:15:55.500
You<00:15:54.159><c> just</c><00:15:54.500><c> do.</c>

00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:57.860
And<00:15:56.139><c> you</c><00:15:56.240><c> can</c><00:15:56.440><c> deal</c><00:15:56.600><c> with</c><00:15:56.759><c> it</c><00:15:56.919><c> in</c><00:15:57.039><c> one</c><00:15:57.159><c> of</c><00:15:57.299><c> two</c><00:15:57.500><c> ways.</c>

00:15:57.860 --> 00:16:01.659
You<00:15:58.039><c> can</c><00:15:58.279><c> deal</c><00:15:58.480><c> with</c><00:15:58.700><c> it</c><00:15:59.480><c> by</c><00:15:59.759><c> looking</c><00:16:00.039><c> at</c><00:16:00.279><c> it</c><00:16:00.539><c> honestly</c><00:16:00.860><c> and</c><00:16:01.159><c> straightforward.</c>

00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:03.919
Let<00:16:01.980><c> a</c><00:16:02.159><c> man</c><00:16:02.320><c> examine</c><00:16:02.779><c> himself.</c>

00:16:05.460 --> 00:16:08.980
Or<00:16:05.779><c> you</c><00:16:05.960><c> can</c><00:16:06.220><c> start</c><00:16:06.480><c> pointing</c><00:16:06.740><c> out</c><00:16:07.340><c> everybody</c><00:16:07.860><c> else's</c><00:16:08.539><c> faults</c>

00:16:08.980 --> 00:16:11.919
so<00:16:09.820><c> that</c><00:16:10.039><c> nobody</c><00:16:10.320><c> sees</c><00:16:10.759><c> yours.</c>

00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:14.460
And<00:16:12.700><c> I</c><00:16:12.799><c> believe</c><00:16:12.860><c> that's</c><00:16:13.200><c> exactly</c><00:16:13.580><c> what</c><00:16:13.820><c> Saul</c><00:16:14.059><c> was</c><00:16:14.299><c> doing.</c>

00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:17.779
And<00:16:14.720><c> we</c><00:16:15.019><c> see</c><00:16:15.240><c> it</c><00:16:15.580><c> in</c><00:16:16.220><c> the</c><00:16:16.460><c> conversation</c><00:16:16.940><c> he</c><00:16:17.179><c> has</c><00:16:17.419><c> with</c><00:16:17.620><c> the</c>

00:16:17.779 --> 00:16:18.639
Lord<00:16:17.940><c> when</c><00:16:18.059><c> he's</c><00:16:18.340><c> blinded.</c>

00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:20.360
So<00:16:18.779><c> let's</c><00:16:19.100><c> let's</c><00:16:19.360><c> get</c><00:16:19.580><c> there.</c>

00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:24.240
And<00:16:22.220><c> so</c><00:16:22.299><c> he</c><00:16:22.379><c> goes</c><00:16:22.639><c> to</c><00:16:22.879><c> the</c><00:16:22.980><c> high</c><00:16:23.200><c> priest</c><00:16:23.379><c> and</c><00:16:23.519><c> he</c><00:16:23.759><c> desires</c><00:16:24.019><c> him</c>

00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:26.919

00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:27.620
that<00:16:27.299><c> found</c>

00:16:27.860 --> 00:16:31.559
in<00:16:28.139><c> this</c><00:16:28.360><c> way</c><00:16:28.639><c> that</c><00:16:28.879><c> he</c><00:16:29.080><c> might</c><00:16:29.240><c> grab</c><00:16:29.639><c> them</c><00:16:30.000><c> and</c><00:16:30.460><c> bind</c><00:16:30.759><c> them</c><00:16:31.139><c> and</c>

00:16:31.559 --> 00:16:32.700
bring<00:16:31.740><c> them</c><00:16:31.940><c> back</c><00:16:32.139><c> to</c><00:16:32.379><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:16:32.779 --> 00:16:34.059
Can<00:16:32.940><c> you</c><00:16:33.159><c> imagine?</c>

00:16:35.019 --> 00:16:37.460
Most<00:16:35.279><c> of</c><00:16:35.419><c> these</c><00:16:35.779><c> Pharisees</c><00:16:36.740><c> and</c><00:16:36.860><c> these</c><00:16:37.059><c> religious</c><00:16:37.320><c> guys,</c>

00:16:37.460 --> 00:16:38.399
they<00:16:37.600><c> don't</c><00:16:37.759><c> leave</c><00:16:37.919><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:16:38.740 --> 00:16:39.980
You<00:16:38.899><c> couldn't</c><00:16:39.100><c> get</c><00:16:39.259><c> them</c><00:16:39.440><c> out</c><00:16:39.639><c> of</c><00:16:39.779><c> there.</c>

00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:43.000
When<00:16:40.340><c> they</c><00:16:40.580><c> went</c><00:16:40.679><c> to</c><00:16:40.860><c> the</c><00:16:41.000><c> Jordan</c><00:16:41.200><c> River</c><00:16:41.500><c> to</c><00:16:42.379><c> see</c><00:16:42.559><c> to</c><00:16:42.559><c> see</c><00:16:42.779><c> John</c>

00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:45.259
the<00:16:43.200><c> Baptist,</c><00:16:43.559><c> you</c><00:16:43.720><c> almost</c><00:16:44.019><c> get</c><00:16:44.220><c> the</c><00:16:44.440><c> feeling</c><00:16:44.700><c> that</c><00:16:44.899><c> like</c><00:16:45.080><c> we</c>

00:16:45.259 --> 00:16:46.980

00:16:47.340 --> 00:16:50.240
They<00:16:47.340><c> don't</c><00:16:47.659><c> they</c><00:16:47.659><c> don't</c><00:16:47.879><c> people</c><00:16:48.179><c> don't</c><00:16:48.919><c> they</c><00:16:49.179><c> don't</c><00:16:49.299><c> do</c><00:16:49.539><c> that.</c>

00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:51.220
Paul<00:16:50.820><c> does.</c>

00:16:51.419 --> 00:16:53.159
I'm<00:16:51.820><c> willing</c><00:16:51.919><c> to</c><00:16:52.080><c> go</c><00:16:52.179><c> all</c><00:16:52.360><c> the</c><00:16:52.419><c> way</c><00:16:52.519><c> up</c><00:16:52.600><c> to</c><00:16:52.759><c> Damascus.</c>

00:16:53.259 --> 00:16:54.860
It's<00:16:53.360><c> like</c><00:16:53.659><c> 150</c><00:16:54.200><c> miles</c><00:16:54.639><c> away.</c>

00:16:54.899 --> 00:16:56.200
It's<00:16:55.000><c> like</c><00:16:55.179><c> a</c><00:16:55.360><c> six</c><00:16:55.539><c> days</c><00:16:55.779><c> journey.</c>

00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:59.720
That's<00:16:56.960><c> how</c><00:16:57.139><c> committed</c><00:16:57.500><c> I</c><00:16:57.840><c> am</c><00:16:58.299><c> that</c><00:16:58.940><c> what</c><00:16:59.139><c> these</c><00:16:59.360><c> people</c><00:16:59.519><c> are</c>

00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:01.379
doing<00:16:59.879><c> is</c><00:17:00.120><c> so</c><00:17:00.299><c> terrible.</c>

00:17:01.740 --> 00:17:03.419
And<00:17:01.940><c> I'm</c><00:17:02.120><c> willing</c><00:17:02.240><c> to</c><00:17:02.360><c> go</c><00:17:02.460><c> all</c><00:17:02.679><c> the</c><00:17:02.759><c> way</c><00:17:02.899><c> there</c><00:17:03.080><c> and</c><00:17:03.159><c> I</c><00:17:03.340><c> won't</c>

00:17:03.419 --> 00:17:05.720

00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:09.720
He<00:17:07.680><c> said</c><00:17:07.839><c> he's</c><00:17:08.119><c> an</c><00:17:08.299><c> evil</c><00:17:08.579><c> man.</c>

00:17:10.940 --> 00:17:14.960
In<00:17:11.079><c> verse</c><00:17:11.299><c> three,</c><00:17:11.539><c> it</c><00:17:11.539><c> says,</c><00:17:12.019><c> and</c><00:17:12.119><c> as</c><00:17:12.579><c> he</c><00:17:12.920><c> journeyed,</c><00:17:14.519><c> he</c><00:17:14.779><c> came</c>

near<00:17:15.240><c> Damascus,</c><00:17:15.759><c> so</c><00:17:15.960><c> he's</c><00:17:16.200><c> almost</c><00:17:16.519><c> there.</c>

00:17:18.259 --> 00:17:21.059
And<00:17:18.680><c> suddenly</c><00:17:19.039><c> there</c><00:17:19.420><c> shined</c><00:17:19.700><c> round</c><00:17:19.940><c> about</c><00:17:20.299><c> him</c><00:17:20.500><c> a</c><00:17:20.839><c> light</c>

00:17:21.059 --> 00:17:22.480
from<00:17:21.460><c> heaven.</c>

00:17:22.859 --> 00:17:25.059
And<00:17:23.339><c> he</c><00:17:23.500><c> fell</c><00:17:23.660><c> to</c><00:17:23.799><c> the</c><00:17:23.980><c> earth</c><00:17:24.160><c> and</c><00:17:24.339><c> hear</c><00:17:24.440><c> the</c><00:17:24.619><c> voice</c><00:17:24.779><c> saying,</c>

00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:27.440
so<00:17:25.319><c> also</c><00:17:25.599><c> why</c><00:17:25.839><c> persecuting</c><00:17:26.259><c> what</c><00:17:26.519><c> light?</c>

00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:30.079
Well,<00:17:27.960><c> I'm</c><00:17:28.099><c> not</c><00:17:28.259><c> trying</c><00:17:28.339><c> to</c><00:17:28.440><c> be</c><00:17:28.619><c> controversial,</c><00:17:29.119><c> but</c><00:17:29.380><c> that</c><00:17:29.680><c> there</c><00:17:29.839><c> is</c>

00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:33.319
the<00:17:30.240><c> kind</c><00:17:30.539><c> of</c><00:17:30.720><c> glory</c><00:17:31.099><c> seven</c><00:17:31.720><c> times</c><00:17:32.279><c> brighter</c><00:17:32.640><c> than</c><00:17:32.900><c> the</c><00:17:33.099><c> sun.</c>

00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:34.140
There<00:17:33.500><c> it</c><00:17:33.680><c> is.</c>

00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:35.559
There<00:17:34.440><c> it</c><00:17:34.579><c> is</c><00:17:34.740><c> again.</c>

00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:39.619
He<00:17:35.960><c> shines</c><00:17:36.299><c> forth</c><00:17:36.759><c> and</c><00:17:37.200><c> it's</c><00:17:37.420><c> so</c><00:17:37.839><c> powerful</c><00:17:38.460><c> that</c><00:17:39.000><c> the</c><00:17:39.319><c> light</c>

00:17:39.619 --> 00:17:40.579
knocks<00:17:39.960><c> into</c><00:17:40.180><c> the</c><00:17:40.359><c> ground.</c>

00:17:40.579 --> 00:17:42.539
We<00:17:40.720><c> don't</c><00:17:40.880><c> know</c><00:17:41.019><c> if</c><00:17:41.079><c> he's</c><00:17:41.279><c> on</c><00:17:41.440><c> a</c><00:17:41.559><c> horse</c><00:17:41.779><c> or</c><00:17:41.900><c> if</c><00:17:41.960><c> he's</c><00:17:42.200><c> walking</c>

00:17:43.539 --> 00:17:49.599
But<00:17:43.759><c> the</c><00:17:44.059><c> light</c><00:17:44.359><c> is</c><00:17:45.000><c> so</c><00:17:45.539><c> strong</c><00:17:46.400><c> that</c><00:17:47.880><c> it</c><00:17:48.039><c> knocks</c><00:17:48.240><c> into</c><00:17:48.440><c> the</c><00:17:48.720><c> earth.</c>

00:17:49.740 --> 00:17:52.460
It's<00:17:50.079><c> also</c><00:17:50.339><c> so</c><00:17:50.720><c> strong</c><00:17:50.900><c> that</c><00:17:51.140><c> it</c><00:17:51.279><c> blinds</c><00:17:51.640><c> him.</c>

00:17:54.820 --> 00:18:02.880
And<00:17:55.380><c> he</c><00:17:55.559><c> hears</c><00:17:55.680><c> a</c><00:17:55.960><c> voice,</c><00:17:57.079><c> Saul,</c><00:17:58.960><c> Saul,</c><00:18:01.259><c> why</c><00:18:01.460><c> are</c><00:18:01.539><c> you</c><00:18:01.680><c> persecuting</c><00:18:02.079><c> me?</c>

00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:06.799
And<00:18:05.319><c> he</c><00:18:05.480><c> said,</c><00:18:05.700><c> who</c><00:18:05.880><c> art</c><00:18:06.220><c> thou,</c><00:18:06.500><c> Lord?</c>

00:18:07.019 --> 00:18:10.299
Do<00:18:07.220><c> you</c><00:18:07.299><c> think</c><00:18:07.440><c> Saul</c><00:18:07.960><c> knew</c><00:18:08.680><c> who</c><00:18:09.240><c> it</c><00:18:09.380><c> was?</c>

00:18:11.500 --> 00:18:16.460
This<00:18:12.059><c> is</c><00:18:12.299><c> not</c><00:18:12.460><c> an</c><00:18:12.640><c> everyday</c><00:18:12.940><c> occurrence</c><00:18:13.619><c> that</c><00:18:15.920><c> you</c><00:18:16.079><c> would</c><00:18:16.279><c> get</c>

00:18:16.460 --> 00:18:20.220

00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:55.539
You're<00:20:54.039><c> still</c><00:20:54.240><c> going</c><00:20:54.380><c> to</c><00:20:54.500><c> get</c><00:20:54.660><c> grabbed</c><00:20:54.900><c> by</c><00:20:55.140><c> those</c><00:20:55.339><c> things.</c>

00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:58.000
That's<00:20:56.000><c> just</c><00:20:56.359><c> the</c><00:20:56.539><c> way</c><00:20:56.700><c> that</c><00:20:56.920><c> they</c><00:20:57.140><c> are.</c>

00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:03.299
And<00:20:59.299><c> so</c><00:20:59.460><c> Jesus</c><00:20:59.759><c> says</c><00:21:00.059><c> to</c><00:21:00.240><c> him,</c><00:21:01.240><c> isn't</c><00:21:01.460><c> it</c><00:21:01.680><c> hard</c><00:21:01.779><c> to</c><00:21:02.000><c> kick</c><00:21:02.140><c> against</c><00:21:02.440><c> them?</c>

00:21:05.079 --> 00:21:09.619
So<00:21:05.559><c> when</c><00:21:06.039><c> we</c><00:21:06.279><c> look</c><00:21:06.420><c> at</c><00:21:06.680><c> Saul</c><00:21:06.920><c> up</c><00:21:07.140><c> to</c><00:21:07.319><c> this</c><00:21:07.559><c> point,</c><00:21:08.500><c> he</c><00:21:09.400><c> doesn't</c>

00:21:09.619 --> 00:21:13.480
look<00:21:09.839><c> like</c><00:21:09.980><c> he's</c><00:21:10.200><c> kicking</c><00:21:10.500><c> against</c><00:21:11.980><c> prickabushes.</c>

00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:15.859
He<00:21:14.279><c> looks</c><00:21:14.460><c> like</c><00:21:14.599><c> he's</c><00:21:14.720><c> been</c><00:21:14.839><c> fairly</c><00:21:15.059><c> successful</c><00:21:15.619><c> at</c><00:21:15.759><c> what</c>

00:21:15.859 --> 00:21:16.299
he's<00:21:16.140><c> doing.</c>

00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:18.200
He's<00:21:16.980><c> grabbing</c><00:21:17.220><c> these</c><00:21:17.460><c> people,</c><00:21:17.859><c> pulling</c><00:21:17.920><c> them</c><00:21:18.099><c> out.</c>

00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:19.259
There's<00:21:18.460><c> no</c><00:21:18.700><c> kickback.</c>

00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:22.440
So<00:21:19.880><c> then</c><00:21:20.019><c> where</c><00:21:20.240><c> is</c><00:21:20.400><c> the</c><00:21:20.619><c> kickback</c><00:21:21.079><c> coming</c><00:21:21.400><c> from?</c>

00:21:24.159 --> 00:21:25.619
Right<00:21:24.639><c> here.</c>

00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:30.160
That's<00:21:26.559><c> how</c><00:21:26.740><c> you</c><00:21:26.920><c> know</c><00:21:27.420><c> that</c><00:21:28.660><c> there</c><00:21:28.859><c> was</c><00:21:29.039><c> something</c><00:21:29.339><c> going</c><00:21:29.700><c> on</c>

00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:31.960
inside<00:21:30.819><c> of</c><00:21:31.119><c> Saul.</c>

00:21:32.500 --> 00:21:37.460
Because<00:21:33.099><c> way</c><00:21:33.559><c> down</c><00:21:34.019><c> deep,</c><00:21:35.259><c> something</c><00:21:35.700><c> was</c><00:21:36.079><c> wrong,</c><00:21:36.920><c> and</c><00:21:37.220><c> he</c>

00:21:37.460 --> 00:21:37.960
knew<00:21:37.680><c> it.</c>

00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:42.960
And<00:21:38.740><c> the</c><00:21:38.980><c> best</c><00:21:39.240><c> way</c><00:21:39.980><c> to</c><00:21:41.039><c> deal</c><00:21:41.319><c> with</c><00:21:41.500><c> it</c><00:21:41.740><c> is</c><00:21:42.079><c> to</c><00:21:42.359><c> not</c><00:21:42.579><c> deal</c><00:21:42.779><c> with</c>

00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:45.779
it<00:21:43.160><c> at</c><00:21:43.240><c> all</c><00:21:43.359><c> and</c><00:21:43.480><c> just</c><00:21:43.660><c> be</c><00:21:43.920><c> that</c><00:21:44.259><c> much</c><00:21:44.480><c> more</c><00:21:44.819><c> zealous.</c>

00:21:45.859 --> 00:21:50.200
Just<00:21:46.160><c> be</c><00:21:46.440><c> that</c><00:21:46.740><c> much</c><00:21:47.019><c> more</c><00:21:47.680><c> sure</c><00:21:48.079><c> of</c><00:21:48.680><c> what</c><00:21:49.000><c> I'm</c><00:21:49.400><c> doing</c><00:21:49.660><c> is</c>

00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:51.720
absolutely<00:21:51.059><c> correct.</c>

00:21:52.019 --> 00:21:54.559
And<00:21:52.359><c> he</c><00:21:52.839><c> can't</c><00:21:53.299><c> do</c><00:21:53.500><c> it</c><00:21:53.740><c> now.</c>

00:21:55.360 --> 00:22:00.380
Now<00:21:55.880><c> he's</c><00:21:56.240><c> at</c><00:21:56.539><c> that</c><00:21:56.940><c> pinnacle</c><00:21:57.400><c> point</c><00:21:57.940><c> in</c><00:21:59.160><c> which</c><00:21:59.440><c> Jesus</c><00:21:59.779><c> is</c><00:22:00.099><c> saying</c><00:22:00.200><c> to</c>

00:22:00.380 --> 00:22:01.799
him,<00:22:00.619><c> guess</c><00:22:00.880><c> what?</c>

00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:05.579
You<00:22:03.039><c> don't</c><00:22:03.180><c> get</c><00:22:03.339><c> to</c><00:22:03.559><c> hide</c><00:22:03.740><c> from</c><00:22:03.960><c> this</c><00:22:04.500><c> anymore.</c>

00:22:06.220 --> 00:22:08.599
It's<00:22:06.500><c> awful</c><00:22:06.660><c> hard</c><00:22:06.880><c> to</c><00:22:07.079><c> kick</c><00:22:07.180><c> against</c><00:22:07.500><c> the</c><00:22:07.720><c> prickabushes,</c><00:22:08.259><c> isn't</c><00:22:08.440><c> it?</c>

00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:11.039
Can<00:22:08.759><c> you</c><00:22:08.859><c> imagine</c><00:22:09.119><c> kicking</c><00:22:09.400><c> against</c><00:22:09.700><c> prickabushes?</c>

00:22:11.140 --> 00:22:12.200
You<00:22:11.339><c> go</c><00:22:11.559><c> to</c><00:22:11.720><c> kick</c><00:22:11.900><c> the</c><00:22:12.059><c> thing.</c>

00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:15.140
First<00:22:12.440><c> of</c><00:22:12.599><c> all,</c><00:22:13.079><c> there's</c><00:22:13.440><c> nothing</c><00:22:13.619><c> really</c><00:22:13.839><c> to</c><00:22:14.140><c> hit.</c>

00:22:15.460 --> 00:22:17.460
And<00:22:15.720><c> yet,</c><00:22:15.859><c> even</c><00:22:16.119><c> though</c><00:22:16.299><c> there's</c><00:22:16.579><c> nothing</c><00:22:16.779><c> really</c><00:22:17.079><c> to</c><00:22:17.299><c> hit,</c>

00:22:17.500 --> 00:22:19.339
it<00:22:17.799><c> still</c><00:22:18.039><c> hits</c><00:22:18.299><c> you.</c>

00:22:20.059 --> 00:22:22.579
That's<00:22:20.579><c> what</c><00:22:20.980><c> Jesus</c><00:22:21.400><c> is</c><00:22:21.799><c> saying.</c>

00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:30.940
And<00:22:25.200><c> it</c><00:22:25.359><c> says,</c><00:22:25.940><c> and</c><00:22:25.940><c> he,</c><00:22:27.119><c> trembling</c><00:22:28.000><c> and</c><00:22:29.640><c> astonished.</c>

00:22:31.299 --> 00:22:34.940
What<00:22:31.539><c> perfect</c><00:22:31.900><c> words</c><00:22:32.799><c> Luke</c><00:22:33.940><c> uses.</c>

00:22:35.480 --> 00:22:37.839
He<00:22:35.759><c> is</c><00:22:36.039><c> now</c><00:22:36.359><c> petrified.</c>

00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:41.519
Not<00:22:38.799><c> because</c><00:22:39.079><c> he's</c><00:22:39.359><c> blind,</c><00:22:40.259><c> which</c><00:22:40.559><c> he</c><00:22:40.859><c> really</c><00:22:41.079><c> doesn't</c><00:22:41.299><c> come</c>

00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:44.220
to<00:22:41.700><c> fully</c><00:22:41.940><c> realize</c><00:22:42.359><c> until</c><00:22:42.599><c> the</c><00:22:42.799><c> light</c><00:22:42.920><c> goes</c><00:22:43.240><c> away.</c>

00:22:46.220 --> 00:22:49.319
He's<00:22:46.940><c> trembling</c><00:22:47.279><c> because</c><00:22:47.720><c> he's</c><00:22:48.200><c> exposed.</c>

00:22:51.339 --> 00:22:54.380
The<00:22:51.799><c> lie</c><00:22:52.160><c> is</c><00:22:52.460><c> being</c><00:22:52.920><c> exposed.</c>

00:22:55.699 --> 00:23:06.000
And<00:22:56.339><c> he's</c><00:22:56.819><c> astonished</c><00:22:57.920><c> that</c><00:22:58.960><c> it</c><00:22:59.200><c> could</c><00:22:59.359><c> be</c><00:22:59.700><c> exposed</c><00:23:00.259><c> so</c><00:23:01.380><c> easily,</c><00:23:03.140><c> so</c><00:23:03.460><c> automatically,</c><00:23:04.619><c> so</c><00:23:05.079><c> quickly.</c>

00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:08.940
And<00:23:06.579><c> that's</c><00:23:06.900><c> why</c><00:23:07.220><c> instead</c><00:23:07.720><c> of</c><00:23:07.880><c> him</c><00:23:08.059><c> saying,</c><00:23:08.500><c> I</c><00:23:08.680><c> don't</c><00:23:08.859><c> know</c>

00:23:08.940 --> 00:23:10.519
what<00:23:09.079><c> you're</c><00:23:09.400><c> talking</c><00:23:09.480><c> about,</c>

00:23:11.339 --> 00:23:16.139
he<00:23:11.599><c> says,</c><00:23:11.839><c> Lord,</c><00:23:13.599><c> what</c><00:23:14.279><c> will</c><00:23:14.500><c> you</c><00:23:14.720><c> have</c><00:23:14.900><c> me</c><00:23:15.099><c> to</c><00:23:15.319><c> do?</c>

00:23:19.819 --> 00:23:24.539
Just<00:23:20.259><c> like</c><00:23:20.700><c> when</c><00:23:21.519><c> Nathan</c><00:23:22.440><c> came</c><00:23:22.740><c> to</c><00:23:23.000><c> David</c><00:23:23.299><c> and</c><00:23:23.519><c> said,</c><00:23:24.160><c> you</c><00:23:24.160><c> are</c>

00:23:29.779 --> 00:23:31.160
I'm<00:23:30.220><c> exposed.</c>

00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:36.559
We<00:23:33.279><c> see</c><00:23:33.559><c> people</c><00:23:34.059><c> in</c><00:23:35.240><c> the</c><00:23:35.460><c> news</c><00:23:35.619><c> and</c><00:23:35.819><c> in</c><00:23:36.059><c> sports,</c><00:23:36.279><c> it</c><00:23:36.359><c> doesn't</c>

00:23:39.079 --> 00:23:43.359

00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:45.619

00:23:54.400 --> 00:23:57.099
Arise<00:23:54.779><c> and</c><00:23:54.940><c> go</c><00:23:55.079><c> into</c><00:23:55.279><c> the</c><00:23:55.480><c> city</c><00:23:55.700><c> and</c><00:23:55.900><c> you</c><00:23:55.980><c> shall</c><00:23:56.079><c> be</c><00:23:56.380><c> told</c><00:23:56.619><c> thee</c>

00:23:57.099 --> 00:24:00.759
what<00:23:57.799><c> thou</c><00:23:58.279><c> must</c><00:23:59.140><c> do.</c>

00:24:02.180 --> 00:24:06.039

00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:15.480
And<00:24:11.359><c> Saul</c><00:24:11.480><c> arose</c><00:24:11.880><c> from</c><00:24:12.099><c> the</c><00:24:12.259><c> earth</c><00:24:12.460><c> and</c><00:24:13.880><c> when</c><00:24:14.059><c> his</c><00:24:14.279><c> eyes</c><00:24:14.660><c> were</c><00:24:14.980><c> open,</c>

00:24:15.619 --> 00:24:19.299
this<00:24:16.160><c> happens</c><00:24:16.940><c> after,</c><00:24:18.259><c> he</c><00:24:18.440><c> says,</c><00:24:18.599><c> what</c><00:24:18.759><c> would</c><00:24:18.940><c> you</c><00:24:19.079><c> have</c><00:24:19.180><c> me</c>

00:24:19.299 --> 00:24:20.279
to<00:24:19.440><c> do?</c>

00:24:20.500 --> 00:24:22.299
The<00:24:20.660><c> light</c><00:24:20.779><c> is</c><00:24:21.019><c> now</c><00:24:21.259><c> gone.</c>

00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:24.619
He<00:24:23.419><c> saw</c><00:24:23.799><c> no</c><00:24:24.339><c> man.</c>

00:24:24.660 --> 00:24:26.559
Why<00:24:24.859><c> is</c><00:24:25.000><c> it</c><00:24:25.099><c> put</c><00:24:25.259><c> that</c><00:24:25.640><c> way?</c>

00:24:26.579 --> 00:24:27.359
He<00:24:26.799><c> saw</c><00:24:27.079><c> no</c><00:24:27.299><c> man.</c>

00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:28.359
Why<00:24:27.500><c> doesn't</c><00:24:27.599><c> it</c><00:24:27.720><c> just</c><00:24:27.799><c> say</c><00:24:27.900><c> he</c><00:24:27.980><c> was</c><00:24:28.140><c> blind?</c>

00:24:28.420 --> 00:24:30.240
It<00:24:28.500><c> doesn't</c><00:24:28.619><c> say</c><00:24:28.720><c> he</c><00:24:28.799><c> was</c><00:24:28.980><c> blind,</c><00:24:29.359><c> but</c><00:24:29.480><c> why</c><00:24:29.799><c> does</c><00:24:29.920><c> it</c><00:24:29.960><c> say</c><00:24:30.059><c> he</c>

00:24:34.719 --> 00:24:37.339
Because<00:24:35.099><c> he</c><00:24:35.480><c> thought</c><00:24:35.720><c> he</c><00:24:35.960><c> understood</c><00:24:36.460><c> men.</c>

00:24:38.059 --> 00:24:40.559
These<00:24:38.359><c> people</c><00:24:38.680><c> were</c><00:24:39.200><c> bad</c><00:24:39.519><c> people</c><00:24:39.799><c> for</c><00:24:39.960><c> what</c><00:24:40.099><c> they</c><00:24:40.259><c> were</c><00:24:40.420><c> doing.</c>

00:24:40.819 --> 00:24:41.759
I'll<00:24:41.000><c> persecute</c><00:24:41.480><c> them.</c>

00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:43.759
I<00:24:42.299><c> know</c><00:24:42.400><c> what</c><00:24:42.559><c> a</c><00:24:42.700><c> bad</c><00:24:42.920><c> person</c><00:24:43.279><c> is.</c>

00:24:43.900 --> 00:24:45.480
I<00:24:44.099><c> know</c><00:24:44.180><c> what</c><00:24:44.339><c> a</c><00:24:44.420><c> good</c><00:24:44.579><c> person</c><00:24:44.960><c> is.</c>

00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:50.420
It<00:24:45.819><c> makes</c><00:24:45.980><c> you</c><00:24:46.160><c> think</c><00:24:46.400><c> of</c><00:24:48.880><c> the</c><00:24:49.440><c> guy</c><00:24:49.720><c> in</c><00:24:49.960><c> Les</c><00:24:50.099><c> Mis.</c>

00:24:50.539 --> 00:24:52.059
I<00:24:50.779><c> forget</c><00:24:50.960><c> his</c><00:24:51.200><c> name.</c>

00:24:54.660 --> 00:24:56.940
And<00:24:54.960><c> now</c><00:24:55.119><c> he</c><00:24:55.180><c> doesn't</c><00:24:55.519><c> know</c><00:24:56.019><c> anything.</c>

00:24:57.059 --> 00:24:59.019
Now<00:24:57.279><c> he's</c><00:24:57.480><c> not</c><00:24:57.759><c> sure</c><00:24:57.960><c> of</c><00:24:58.200><c> anything.</c>

00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:01.680
But<00:24:59.380><c> they</c><00:24:59.539><c> led</c><00:24:59.700><c> him</c><00:24:59.839><c> by</c><00:25:00.079><c> the</c><00:25:00.319><c> hand</c><00:25:00.480><c> and</c><00:25:00.619><c> brought</c><00:25:00.839><c> him</c><00:25:00.960><c> into</c><00:25:01.119><c> Damascus.</c>

00:25:01.700 --> 00:25:07.539
This<00:25:02.000><c> powerful</c><00:25:02.920><c> man,</c><00:25:04.599><c> this</c><00:25:05.480><c> vigilant,</c><00:25:06.359><c> a</c><00:25:06.680><c> vengeance</c><00:25:07.099><c> man,</c>

00:25:16.140 --> 00:25:19.819
And<00:25:16.640><c> he</c><00:25:16.779><c> was</c><00:25:17.000><c> three</c><00:25:17.220><c> days</c><00:25:17.480><c> without</c><00:25:17.900><c> sight,</c><00:25:19.220><c> and</c><00:25:19.319><c> neither</c><00:25:19.579><c> did</c>

00:25:21.380 --> 00:25:25.859
He<00:25:21.680><c> was</c><00:25:21.980><c> still</c><00:25:22.339><c> trembling</c><00:25:22.799><c> and</c><00:25:23.160><c> astonished</c><00:25:23.740><c> three</c><00:25:24.519><c> days</c><00:25:24.900><c> later.</c>

00:25:28.380 --> 00:25:32.099
And<00:25:28.599><c> there</c><00:25:28.759><c> was</c><00:25:28.920><c> a</c><00:25:29.079><c> certain</c><00:25:29.220><c> disciple</c><00:25:30.619><c> at</c><00:25:30.839><c> Damascus</c><00:25:31.279><c> named</c><00:25:31.539><c> Ananias.</c>

00:25:32.180 --> 00:25:34.819
And<00:25:32.259><c> to</c><00:25:32.400><c> him</c><00:25:32.619><c> said</c><00:25:32.799><c> the</c><00:25:33.000><c> Lord</c><00:25:33.380><c> in</c><00:25:33.819><c> a</c><00:25:33.920><c> vision,</c><00:25:34.200><c> Ananias.</c>

00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:40.440
And<00:25:37.900><c> he</c><00:25:38.059><c> tells</c><00:25:38.200><c> him,</c><00:25:38.440><c> rise</c><00:25:38.759><c> and</c><00:25:38.920><c> go</c><00:25:39.140><c> into</c><00:25:39.359><c> the</c><00:25:39.920><c> straight</c><00:25:40.160><c> gate,</c>

That's<00:25:45.019><c> literally</c><00:25:45.240><c> what</c><00:25:45.420><c> it's</c><00:25:45.680><c> telling</c><00:25:45.839><c> us.</c>

00:26:06.019 --> 00:26:07.480
And<00:26:06.160><c> we</c><00:26:06.240><c> know</c><00:26:06.359><c> that's</c><00:26:06.660><c> exactly</c><00:26:06.980><c> what</c><00:26:07.220><c> happens.</c>

00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:09.799
Ananias<00:26:07.920><c> comes</c><00:26:08.180><c> in</c><00:26:08.480><c> and</c><00:26:08.940><c> puts</c><00:26:09.160><c> his</c><00:26:09.339><c> hand</c><00:26:09.460><c> on</c><00:26:09.539><c> him</c><00:26:09.640><c> and</c><00:26:09.660><c> says,</c>

It's<00:26:20.059><c> interesting.</c>

00:26:20.339 --> 00:26:23.359
They<00:26:20.539><c> knew</c><00:26:20.680><c> that</c><00:26:20.839><c> he</c><00:26:20.920><c> was</c><00:26:21.079><c> coming,</c><00:26:21.640><c> right?</c>
