You<00:11:01.220><c> know,</c><00:11:01.740><c> it's</c><00:11:01.960><c> interesting.</c>

00:11:03.539 --> 00:11:05.639
One<00:11:03.679><c> brother</c><00:11:03.940><c> once</c><00:11:04.220><c> said</c><00:11:04.419><c> that</c><00:11:04.600><c> the</c><00:11:04.700><c> further</c><00:11:05.019><c> away</c><00:11:05.240><c> you</c><00:11:05.379><c> come</c>

00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:08.000
to<00:11:05.820><c> give</c><00:11:06.000><c> an</c><00:11:06.299><c> exhortation,</c><00:11:06.960><c> a</c><00:11:06.980><c> talk,</c><00:11:07.320><c> a</c><00:11:07.320><c> lecture,</c><00:11:07.620><c> a</c><00:11:07.679><c> Bible</c>

00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:09.919
spool,<00:11:08.279><c> the</c><00:11:08.379><c> more</c><00:11:08.559><c> respect</c><00:11:08.899><c> you</c><00:11:09.100><c> get.</c>

00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:13.039
I<00:11:12.080><c> think</c><00:11:12.200><c> that's</c><00:11:12.480><c> absolutely</c><00:11:12.799><c> true.</c>

00:11:13.100 --> 00:11:14.980
Of<00:11:13.240><c> course</c><00:11:13.340><c> he</c><00:11:13.460><c> was</c><00:11:13.679><c> just</c><00:11:14.019><c> saying</c><00:11:14.279><c> what</c><00:11:14.460><c> Jesus</c><00:11:14.759><c> said.</c>

00:11:15.059 --> 00:11:17.480
A<00:11:15.139><c> prophet</c><00:11:15.419><c> is</c><00:11:15.620><c> not</c><00:11:15.820><c> without</c><00:11:16.200><c> honor,</c><00:11:16.480><c> save</c><00:11:16.679><c> in</c><00:11:16.820><c> his</c><00:11:16.940><c> own</c><00:11:17.100><c> country.</c>

00:11:17.899 --> 00:11:19.559
So<00:11:18.059><c> this</c><00:11:18.179><c> goes</c><00:11:18.440><c> way</c><00:11:18.679><c> back.</c>

00:11:19.740 --> 00:11:24.399
I'm<00:11:19.919><c> sometimes,</c><00:11:20.620><c> I've</c><00:11:20.960><c> been</c><00:11:21.139><c> to</c><00:11:21.220><c> England</c><00:11:21.419><c> three</c><00:11:21.759><c> times</c><00:11:22.080><c> on</c><00:11:23.039><c> speaking</c><00:11:23.379><c> tours</c><00:11:23.620><c> and</c><00:11:23.799><c> gone</c><00:11:23.940><c> to</c><00:11:24.100><c> Ecclesians</c>

00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:27.019
and<00:11:24.480><c> I'm</c><00:11:24.759><c> absolutely</c><00:11:25.279><c> amazed</c><00:11:25.720><c> when</c><00:11:25.899><c> they'll</c><00:11:26.620><c> come</c><00:11:26.779><c> up</c><00:11:26.879><c> and</c><00:11:26.879><c> say,</c>

00:11:27.019 --> 00:11:29.080
Isn't<00:11:27.360><c> that</c><00:11:27.539><c> wonderful,</c><00:11:28.000><c> you</c><00:11:28.159><c> Americans</c><00:11:28.539><c> say</c><00:11:28.779><c> this,</c><00:11:29.019><c> that,</c>

00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:29.419
and<00:11:29.159><c> the</c><00:11:29.200><c> other</c><00:11:29.360><c> thing.</c>

00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:31.580
If<00:11:29.500><c> I</c><00:11:29.639><c> said</c><00:11:29.779><c> the</c><00:11:29.980><c> same</c><00:11:30.200><c> thing</c><00:11:30.419><c> in</c><00:11:30.639><c> Detroit,</c><00:11:31.059><c> they'd</c><00:11:31.299><c> say,</c><00:11:31.419><c> oh,</c>

00:11:31.620 --> 00:11:33.500
there<00:11:31.740><c> he</c><00:11:31.879><c> goes</c><00:11:32.019><c> again,</c><00:11:32.320><c> same</c><00:11:32.480><c> old</c><00:11:32.720><c> stuff.</c>

00:11:33.779 --> 00:11:34.700
That's<00:11:34.019><c> really</c><00:11:34.240><c> kind</c><00:11:34.419><c> of</c><00:11:34.559><c> great.</c>

00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:37.220
Well,<00:11:35.139><c> first</c><00:11:35.340><c> of</c><00:11:35.500><c> all,</c><00:11:35.639><c> they're</c><00:11:35.799><c> not</c><00:11:35.940><c> as</c><00:11:36.120><c> familiar</c><00:11:36.379><c> with</c><00:11:36.639><c> me</c>

00:11:37.220 --> 00:11:41.419
so<00:11:37.659><c> they</c><00:11:37.840><c> don't</c><00:11:38.059><c> hear</c><00:11:38.259><c> all</c><00:11:38.480><c> the</c><00:11:38.679><c> same</c><00:11:38.860><c> old,</c><00:11:39.240><c> you</c><00:11:40.159><c> know,</c><00:11:40.500><c> stories.</c>

00:11:41.620 --> 00:11:43.700
They're<00:11:41.899><c> not</c><00:11:42.039><c> as</c><00:11:42.200><c> familiar</c><00:11:42.360><c> with</c><00:11:42.539><c> the</c><00:11:42.799><c> style</c><00:11:43.200><c> and</c><00:11:43.500><c> they</c><00:11:43.620><c> have</c>

00:11:43.700 --> 00:11:46.539
to<00:11:43.840><c> pay</c><00:11:43.940><c> more</c><00:11:44.179><c> attention</c><00:11:44.600><c> just</c><00:11:44.779><c> to</c><00:11:44.980><c> catch</c><00:11:45.120><c> even</c><00:11:45.320><c> the</c><00:11:45.539><c> language.</c>

00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:48.480
You<00:11:46.960><c> know,</c><00:11:47.080><c> so</c><00:11:47.220><c> they</c><00:11:47.340><c> make</c><00:11:47.440><c> sure</c><00:11:47.600><c> they</c><00:11:47.759><c> really</c><00:11:47.960><c> do</c><00:11:48.200><c> hear</c><00:11:48.299><c> it</c>

00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:49.000
the<00:11:48.600><c> right</c><00:11:48.779><c> way.</c>

00:11:49.179 --> 00:11:51.440
You<00:11:49.379><c> tend</c><00:11:49.519><c> to</c><00:11:49.679><c> pay</c><00:11:49.799><c> more</c><00:11:50.059><c> attention</c><00:11:50.460><c> when</c><00:11:50.620><c> someone</c><00:11:50.879><c> has</c><00:11:51.120><c> a</c><00:11:51.179><c> little</c><00:11:51.320><c> bit</c>

00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:52.419
of<00:11:51.620><c> a</c><00:11:51.759><c> different</c><00:11:51.960><c> accent</c>

00:11:52.419 --> 00:11:55.019
because<00:11:52.860><c> you're</c><00:11:53.080><c> not</c><00:11:53.240><c> always</c><00:11:53.720><c> totally</c><00:11:54.639><c> sure</c><00:11:54.779><c> and</c><00:11:54.860><c> you</c><00:11:54.899><c> want</c>

00:11:55.019 --> 00:11:57.299
to<00:11:55.159><c> make</c><00:11:55.320><c> sure</c><00:11:55.500><c> you</c><00:11:55.679><c> listen</c><00:11:55.960><c> with</c><00:11:56.220><c> some</c><00:11:56.460><c> intent.</c>

00:11:57.879 --> 00:11:58.980
So<00:11:57.980><c> that's</c><00:11:58.279><c> kind</c><00:11:58.440><c> of</c><00:11:58.600><c> interesting.</c>

00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:01.960
And<00:11:59.480><c> sometimes</c><00:11:59.899><c> the</c><00:12:00.100><c> British</c><00:12:00.279><c> even</c><00:12:00.580><c> do</c><00:12:00.779><c> understand</c><00:12:01.259><c> me,</c><00:12:01.639><c> which</c><00:12:01.799><c> gets</c>

00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:03.580
me<00:12:02.159><c> even</c><00:12:02.340><c> in</c><00:12:02.480><c> more</c><00:12:02.639><c> trouble.</c>

00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:06.320
But<00:12:04.960><c> it's</c><00:12:05.320><c> a</c><00:12:05.419><c> constant</c><00:12:05.879><c> thing.</c>

00:12:06.379 --> 00:12:07.179
And<00:12:06.500><c> why</c><00:12:06.740><c> is</c><00:12:06.940><c> it?</c>

00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:09.679
Because<00:12:07.580><c> if</c><00:12:07.799><c> you</c><00:12:08.039><c> say</c><00:12:08.220><c> something</c><00:12:08.580><c> around</c><00:12:08.940><c> your</c><00:12:09.100><c> home,</c><00:12:09.299><c> Ecclesia,</c>

00:12:09.779 --> 00:12:12.700

00:12:16.059 --> 00:12:18.940
If<00:12:16.440><c> you're</c><00:12:16.580><c> an</c><00:12:16.779><c> American</c><00:12:17.100><c> brother</c><00:12:17.379><c> and</c><00:12:17.519><c> you</c><00:12:17.659><c> go</c><00:12:17.820><c> to</c><00:12:17.980><c> some</c><00:12:18.179><c> other</c><00:12:18.639><c> area</c>

00:12:28.700 --> 00:12:30.679
Because<00:12:28.879><c> obviously</c><00:12:29.259><c> you're</c><00:12:29.500><c> an</c><00:12:29.659><c> American</c><00:12:30.000><c> and</c><00:12:30.179><c> you</c><00:12:30.279><c> know</c><00:12:30.500><c> so</c>

00:16:53.259 --> 00:16:55.200
because<00:16:53.399><c> they're</c><00:16:53.620><c> not</c><00:16:53.820><c> given</c><00:16:53.960><c> enough</c><00:16:54.240><c> space.</c>

00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:03.220
But<00:17:02.220><c> that's</c><00:17:02.620><c> what</c><00:17:02.799><c> happens.</c>

00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:07.900
Now,<00:17:03.879><c> brethren</c><00:17:03.940><c> and</c><00:17:04.200><c> sisters,</c><00:17:04.980><c> I</c><00:17:05.220><c> do</c><00:17:05.519><c> not</c><00:17:05.799><c> know</c><00:17:06.140><c> a</c><00:17:06.359><c> Christadelphian</c><00:17:07.240><c> anywhere</c>

00:17:22.539 --> 00:17:26.079
There<00:17:22.680><c> is</c><00:17:22.859><c> no</c><00:17:23.140><c> problem</c><00:17:23.500><c> in</c><00:17:23.640><c> our</c><00:17:23.839><c> community</c><00:17:24.440><c> over</c><00:17:24.980><c> the</c><00:17:25.279><c> strictness</c><00:17:25.640><c> on</c><00:17:25.859><c> the</c>

The<00:17:27.339><c> problem</c><00:17:27.720><c> comes</c><00:17:28.079><c> about</c><00:17:28.519><c> on</c><00:17:28.819><c> mercy.</c>

00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:33.380
When<00:17:31.279><c> do</c><00:17:31.460><c> we</c><00:17:31.599><c> forgive</c><00:17:31.880><c> someone</c><00:17:32.200><c> if</c><00:17:32.339><c> they</c><00:17:32.539><c> have</c><00:17:32.759><c> made</c><00:17:32.940><c> a</c><00:17:33.099><c> mistake?</c>

00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:36.460
Think<00:17:33.819><c> about</c><00:17:34.140><c> that.</c><00:17:34.720><c> That's</c><00:17:35.019><c> where</c><00:17:35.200><c> the</c><00:17:35.380><c> problem</c><00:17:35.680><c> is.</c>

00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:40.380
Now,<00:17:36.839><c> what</c><00:17:37.039><c> Jesus</c><00:17:37.440><c> is</c><00:17:37.799><c> saying</c><00:17:38.039><c> here,</c><00:17:39.339><c> in</c><00:17:39.480><c> this</c><00:17:39.680><c> particular</c><00:17:40.079><c> instance,</c>

We<00:17:43.099><c> spend</c><00:17:43.339><c> a</c><00:17:43.440><c> lot</c><00:17:43.660><c> of</c><00:17:43.819><c> time</c><00:17:44.019><c> in</c><00:17:44.099><c> our</c><00:17:44.319><c> community</c><00:17:44.700><c> worrying</c><00:17:45.000><c> about</c><00:17:45.359><c> our</c><00:17:45.619><c> defilement</c>

00:18:25.539 --> 00:18:29.819
How<00:18:25.700><c> many</c><00:18:25.960><c> Ecclesias</c><00:18:26.400><c> have</c><00:18:26.680><c> trained</c><00:18:28.180><c> themselves</c><00:18:28.759><c> or</c><00:18:29.200><c> have</c><00:18:29.359><c> a</c><00:18:29.640><c> committee</c>

00:19:32.299 --> 00:19:35.720
And<00:19:32.460><c> I</c><00:19:32.640><c> applaud</c><00:19:32.920><c> that.</c><00:19:33.299><c> I</c><00:19:33.500><c> think</c><00:19:33.660><c> it's</c><00:19:33.880><c> a</c><00:19:34.000><c> terrific</c><00:19:34.400><c> thing</c><00:19:34.640><c> to</c><00:19:34.859><c> do.</c>

00:19:36.180 --> 00:19:41.460
Now,<00:19:36.339><c> there</c><00:19:36.420><c> was</c><00:19:36.640><c> a</c><00:19:36.839><c> certain</c><00:19:37.019><c> rich</c><00:19:37.319><c> man</c><00:19:38.319><c> who</c><00:19:40.839><c> was</c><00:19:41.119><c> clothed</c><00:19:41.319><c> in</c>

00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:50.319
And<00:19:47.759><c> the</c><00:19:47.900><c> word</c><00:19:48.059><c> there</c><00:19:48.259><c> means</c><00:19:48.519><c> literally,</c><00:19:48.880><c> God</c><00:19:49.160><c> help</c><00:19:49.440><c> him,</c><00:19:49.799><c> Lazarus.</c>

00:19:50.579 --> 00:19:53.200
I<00:19:50.720><c> don't</c><00:19:50.940><c> think</c><00:19:51.160><c> this</c><00:19:51.660><c> was</c><00:19:52.000><c> the</c><00:19:52.220><c> same</c><00:19:52.400><c> Lazarus,</c><00:19:53.019><c> of</c><00:19:53.059><c> course.</c>

00:19:53.299 --> 00:19:56.759
Jesus<00:19:53.480><c> was</c><00:19:53.720><c> picking</c><00:19:54.099><c> out</c><00:19:54.680><c> names</c><00:19:54.900><c> here</c><00:19:55.079><c> to</c><00:19:55.299><c> illustrate</c><00:19:56.000><c> this</c>

00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:58.900
principle<00:19:57.259><c> of</c><00:19:57.619><c> covetousness.</c>

00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:01.440
The<00:19:59.259><c> thing</c><00:19:59.400><c> that</c><00:19:59.619><c> the</c><00:19:59.819><c> Pharisees</c><00:20:00.380><c> overhearing</c><00:20:01.000><c> him</c><00:20:01.160><c> and</c><00:20:01.299><c> were</c>

00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:03.119
ready<00:20:01.619><c> to</c><00:20:01.839><c> pick</c><00:20:02.000><c> on</c><00:20:02.579><c> the</c><00:20:02.799><c> speaker,</c>

00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:05.240
in<00:20:03.680><c> fact,</c><00:20:03.799><c> they</c><00:20:03.940><c> were</c><00:20:04.039><c> picking</c><00:20:04.240><c> on</c><00:20:04.519><c> someone</c><00:20:04.759><c> that</c><00:20:04.940><c> he</c><00:20:05.099><c> hadn't</c>

00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:07.960
really<00:20:05.940><c> aimed</c><00:20:06.299><c> his</c><00:20:06.660><c> talk</c><00:20:06.819><c> at</c><00:20:06.980><c> them.</c>

00:20:08.500 --> 00:20:12.759
He<00:20:09.180><c> was</c><00:20:09.460><c> giving</c><00:20:09.700><c> them</c><00:20:09.920><c> this</c><00:20:10.259><c> lesson</c><00:20:11.079><c> about</c><00:20:12.420><c> Lazarus.</c>

00:20:13.220 --> 00:20:17.240
Now,<00:20:13.380><c> we</c><00:20:13.480><c> shouldn't</c><00:20:13.720><c> take</c><00:20:14.019><c> this</c><00:20:14.380><c> parable</c><00:20:15.180><c> literally.</c>

00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:21.000
It's<00:20:18.000><c> been</c><00:20:18.299><c> used</c><00:20:18.519><c> to</c><00:20:18.759><c> teach</c><00:20:18.960><c> on</c><00:20:19.160><c> the</c><00:20:19.380><c> doctrine</c><00:20:19.759><c> of</c><00:20:20.160><c> hell.</c><00:20:20.799><c> We</c>

00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:21.799
all<00:20:21.220><c> know</c><00:20:21.420><c> that.</c>

00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:25.420
But<00:20:22.240><c> what</c><00:20:22.500><c> Jesus</c><00:20:22.880><c> was</c><00:20:23.140><c> doing,</c><00:20:23.420><c> he</c><00:20:23.579><c> doesn't</c><00:20:23.900><c> endorse</c><00:20:24.200><c> this</c><00:20:24.539><c> doctrine.</c>

00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:30.680
Literally,<00:20:28.339><c> Abraham</c><00:20:28.759><c> had</c><00:20:29.119><c> the</c><00:20:29.359><c> same</c><00:20:29.579><c> relationship</c><00:20:30.220><c> in</c><00:20:30.559><c> sort</c>

00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:32.579
of<00:20:31.140><c> Jewish</c><00:20:31.579><c> myth</c><00:20:32.019><c> and</c><00:20:32.240><c> legend</c>

00:20:32.579 --> 00:20:37.220
that<00:20:33.519><c> Peter</c><00:20:34.019><c> has</c><00:20:34.640><c> in</c><00:20:35.700><c> ordinary</c><00:20:36.279><c> church</c><00:20:36.859><c> legend.</c>

00:20:37.220 --> 00:20:40.140
You<00:20:37.359><c> know,</c><00:20:37.700><c> this</c><00:20:37.900><c> normal</c><00:20:38.220><c> thing,</c><00:20:38.480><c> Peter's</c><00:20:38.900><c> at</c><00:20:39.240><c> the</c><00:20:39.440><c> pearly</c><00:20:39.720><c> gates</c><00:20:39.900><c> and</c><00:20:40.019><c> he</c>

00:20:40.140 --> 00:20:40.960
has<00:20:40.299><c> the</c><00:20:40.480><c> keys</c><00:20:40.579><c> to</c><00:20:40.779><c> heaven</c>

00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:43.240
and<00:20:41.119><c> he</c><00:20:41.359><c> welcomes</c><00:20:41.660><c> you</c><00:20:41.859><c> and</c><00:20:41.980><c> he</c><00:20:42.460><c> invites</c><00:20:42.640><c> you</c><00:20:42.819><c> into</c><00:20:42.980><c> heaven.</c>

00:20:43.380 --> 00:20:45.619
Well,<00:20:43.539><c> that's</c><00:20:43.640><c> what</c><00:20:43.839><c> the</c><00:20:43.960><c> Jews</c><00:20:44.099><c> believed</c><00:20:44.400><c> about</c><00:20:44.660><c> Abraham,</c>

00:20:46.019 --> 00:20:48.480
that<00:20:46.160><c> he</c><00:20:46.319><c> was</c><00:20:46.500><c> the</c><00:20:46.720><c> person</c><00:20:46.920><c> who</c><00:20:47.180><c> welcomed</c><00:20:47.440><c> you</c><00:20:47.640><c> into</c><00:20:47.900><c> paradise.</c>

00:20:48.859 --> 00:20:50.119
So<00:20:49.019><c> this</c><00:20:49.180><c> is</c><00:20:49.279><c> a</c><00:20:49.279><c> very</c><00:20:49.539><c> good</c><00:20:49.720><c> analogy.</c>

00:20:50.180 --> 00:20:54.180
And<00:20:50.279><c> what</c><00:20:50.400><c> Jesus</c><00:20:50.740><c> is</c><00:20:51.039><c> doing</c><00:20:51.200><c> here</c><00:20:51.519><c> is</c><00:20:51.920><c> taking</c><00:20:52.359><c> their</c><00:20:52.839><c> own</c><00:20:53.859><c> myth</c>

00:20:54.180 --> 00:20:56.380
and<00:20:54.740><c> turning</c><00:20:55.059><c> it</c><00:20:55.259><c> on</c><00:20:55.420><c> themselves.</c>

00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:02.140
So<00:20:58.359><c> he</c><00:20:58.500><c> says</c><00:20:58.839><c> that</c><00:20:59.900><c> he</c><00:21:00.180><c> was</c><00:21:00.380><c> in</c><00:21:00.519><c> the</c><00:21:00.740><c> grave</c><00:21:00.900><c> or</c><00:21:01.099><c> in</c><00:21:01.259><c> Hades,</c><00:21:02.000><c> the</c>

00:22:50.279 --> 00:22:53.700

00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:59.240
So<00:22:54.519><c> we</c><00:22:55.000><c> can't</c><00:22:55.440><c> see</c><00:22:55.619><c> that</c><00:22:56.079><c> same</c><00:22:56.480><c> exact</c><00:22:57.519><c> absurd</c><00:22:58.119><c> situation</c><00:22:58.779><c> which</c><00:22:59.000><c> gets</c>

Now<00:23:14.500><c> there</c><00:23:14.660><c> is</c><00:23:14.819><c> an</c><00:23:15.099><c> element,</c><00:23:15.599><c> brethren</c><00:23:15.779><c> and</c><00:23:16.039><c> sisters</c><00:23:16.180><c> here,</c>

00:23:16.660 --> 00:23:19.240
of<00:23:17.059><c> self</c><00:23:17.380><c>-righteousness</c><00:23:18.019><c> right</c><00:23:18.319><c> here.</c>

00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:21.200
Literally<00:23:19.900><c> the</c><00:23:20.119><c> Pharisee</c><00:23:20.559><c> saying</c><00:23:20.779><c> to</c><00:23:20.960><c> Jesus,</c>

00:23:21.259 --> 00:23:22.380
Well,<00:23:21.400><c> you</c><00:23:21.559><c> didn't</c><00:23:21.720><c> do</c><00:23:21.960><c> enough.</c>

00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:24.500
God<00:23:22.980><c> didn't</c><00:23:23.240><c> do</c><00:23:23.460><c> enough</c><00:23:23.660><c> to</c><00:23:23.839><c> inform</c><00:23:24.220><c> me.</c>

00:23:24.539 --> 00:23:26.519
I<00:23:24.880><c> didn't</c><00:23:25.140><c> realize</c><00:23:25.660><c> it.</c>

00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:31.059
See,<00:23:29.200><c> it's</c><00:23:29.200><c> not</c><00:23:29.440><c> really</c><00:23:29.700><c> my</c><00:23:30.079><c> fault.</c>

00:23:31.380 --> 00:23:34.299
If<00:23:31.500><c> God</c><00:23:31.700><c> had</c><00:23:31.900><c> done</c><00:23:32.079><c> more,</c><00:23:33.200><c> then</c><00:23:33.339><c> I</c><00:23:33.460><c> wouldn't</c><00:23:33.660><c> be</c><00:23:33.900><c> the</c><00:23:34.019><c> way</c><00:23:34.160><c> I</c><00:23:34.220><c> am.</c>

00:23:34.460 --> 00:23:37.160
So<00:23:34.460><c> sing</c><00:23:34.819><c> someone</c><00:23:35.299><c> to</c><00:23:35.559><c> them</c><00:23:35.740><c> so</c><00:23:35.920><c> that</c><00:23:36.059><c> the</c><00:23:36.200><c> rest</c><00:23:36.420><c> of</c><00:23:36.619><c> my</c><00:23:36.819><c> family</c>

00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:39.259
does<00:23:37.420><c> not</c><00:23:37.599><c> make</c><00:23:37.779><c> the</c><00:23:37.960><c> same</c><00:23:38.160><c> mistake.</c>

00:23:39.599 --> 00:23:42.500
For<00:23:39.700><c> I</c><00:23:39.880><c> have</c><00:23:40.039><c> five</c><00:23:40.339><c> brethren,</c><00:23:41.339><c> and</c><00:23:41.539><c> that</c><00:23:41.660><c> he</c><00:23:41.779><c> may</c><00:23:41.960><c> testify</c>

00:23:42.500 --> 00:23:42.920
unto<00:23:42.720><c> them,</c>

00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:46.220
least<00:23:43.119><c> they</c><00:23:43.380><c> come</c><00:23:43.599><c> also</c><00:23:44.059><c> into</c><00:23:44.299><c> this</c><00:23:44.579><c> place</c><00:23:44.900><c> of</c><00:23:45.299><c> torment.</c>

00:23:47.380 --> 00:23:50.319
Now,<00:23:47.779><c> of</c><00:23:47.940><c> course,</c><00:23:48.220><c> no</c><00:23:48.440><c> Pharisee</c><00:23:49.420><c> believed</c><00:23:49.740><c> that</c><00:23:49.940><c> they</c><00:23:50.079><c> would</c>

00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:51.759
ever<00:23:50.559><c> be</c><00:23:50.819><c> tormented.</c>

00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:53.599
Again,<00:23:52.319><c> this</c><00:23:52.599><c> turnaround.</c>

00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:56.000
They<00:23:54.160><c> all</c><00:23:54.460><c> believed</c><00:23:54.700><c> that</c><00:23:54.839><c> they</c><00:23:54.980><c> would</c><00:23:55.180><c> go</c><00:23:55.500><c> to</c><00:23:55.779><c> paradise.</c>

00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:57.299
It<00:23:56.180><c> was</c><00:23:56.359><c> those</c><00:23:56.539><c> other</c><00:23:56.859><c> people.</c>

00:23:57.559 --> 00:23:59.400
It<00:23:57.559><c> was</c><00:23:57.819><c> Lazarus</c><00:23:58.339><c> who</c><00:23:58.440><c> was</c><00:23:58.619><c> going</c><00:23:58.680><c> to</c><00:23:58.779><c> be</c><00:23:58.920><c> tormented.</c>

00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:01.619
So<00:23:59.859><c> he</c><00:23:59.960><c> takes</c><00:24:00.240><c> their</c><00:24:00.480><c> very</c><00:24:00.779><c> belief,</c><00:24:01.339><c> says,</c>

00:24:01.720 --> 00:24:03.900
If<00:24:01.759><c> this</c><00:24:01.980><c> is</c><00:24:02.099><c> what</c><00:24:02.220><c> you</c><00:24:02.480><c> believe,</c><00:24:03.039><c> this</c><00:24:03.240><c> is</c><00:24:03.400><c> going</c><00:24:03.500><c> to</c><00:24:03.579><c> be</c><00:24:03.740><c> the</c>

00:24:03.900 --> 00:24:04.640
consequence<00:24:04.400><c> of</c><00:24:04.559><c> it.</c>

00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:06.819
You<00:24:04.779><c> want</c><00:24:04.880><c> to</c><00:24:04.980><c> be</c><00:24:05.119><c> tormented?</c><00:24:05.960><c> You</c><00:24:06.099><c> want</c><00:24:06.220><c> to</c><00:24:06.339><c> believe</c><00:24:06.519><c> in</c><00:24:06.700><c> that?</c>

00:24:06.980 --> 00:24:08.619
You're<00:24:07.240><c> the</c><00:24:07.380><c> one</c><00:24:07.460><c> that's</c><00:24:07.640><c> going</c><00:24:07.700><c> to</c><00:24:07.779><c> be</c><00:24:07.940><c> tormented.</c>

00:24:14.119 --> 00:24:20.720
And<00:24:14.480><c> then</c><00:24:14.839><c> this</c><00:24:16.859><c> insufficient</c><00:24:17.720><c> warning</c><00:24:18.079><c> is</c><00:24:18.460><c> turned</c><00:24:18.660><c> right</c><00:24:19.000><c> back</c><00:24:19.299><c> on</c><00:24:19.519><c> them.</c>

00:24:22.500 --> 00:24:27.339
Abraham<00:24:23.019><c> saith</c><00:24:23.539><c> unto</c><00:24:24.000><c> him,</c><00:24:24.579><c> They</c><00:24:24.740><c> have</c><00:24:25.039><c> Moses</c><00:24:25.559><c> and</c><00:24:26.059><c> the</c><00:24:26.339><c> prophets.</c>

00:24:27.740 --> 00:24:29.259
Let<00:24:28.000><c> them</c><00:24:28.299><c> hear</c><00:24:28.579><c> them.</c>

00:24:29.500 --> 00:24:31.880
And<00:24:29.740><c> he</c><00:24:29.880><c> said,</c><00:24:30.220><c> Nay,</c><00:24:30.480><c> father</c><00:24:30.740><c> Abraham.</c>

00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:35.599
But<00:24:32.299><c> if</c><00:24:32.519><c> one</c><00:24:32.740><c> went</c><00:24:32.940><c> unto</c><00:24:33.160><c> them</c><00:24:33.380><c> from</c><00:24:33.640><c> the</c><00:24:33.859><c> dead,</c><00:24:34.059><c> they</c><00:24:34.319><c> will</c><00:24:34.599><c> repent.</c>

00:24:35.940 --> 00:24:40.960
And<00:24:36.200><c> he</c><00:24:36.380><c> said</c><00:24:36.519><c> unto</c><00:24:36.740><c> them,</c><00:24:37.380><c> If</c><00:24:37.700><c> they</c><00:24:38.039><c> hear</c><00:24:38.380><c> not</c><00:24:38.779><c> Moses</c><00:24:39.240><c> and</c><00:24:39.480><c> the</c><00:24:39.759><c> prophets,</c>

00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:57.759
You<00:25:54.920><c> didn't</c><00:25:55.099><c> hire</c><00:25:55.359><c> the</c><00:25:55.619><c> servant</c><00:25:55.839><c> so</c><00:25:56.039><c> that</c><00:25:56.180><c> you</c><00:25:56.319><c> could</c><00:25:56.500><c> serve</c><00:25:56.779><c> him.</c>

Does<00:26:13.859><c> he</c><00:26:14.119><c> thank</c><00:26:14.339><c> that</c><00:26:14.619><c> servant</c><00:26:14.880><c> because</c><00:26:15.200><c> he</c><00:26:15.440><c> did</c>

00:26:15.660 --> 00:26:17.900
the<00:26:16.039><c> things</c><00:26:16.240><c> that</c><00:26:16.420><c> were</c><00:26:16.619><c> commanded</c><00:26:16.960><c> of</c><00:26:17.079><c> him?</c>

00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:24.619
So<00:26:21.559><c> likewise,</c><00:26:22.339><c> ye,</c><00:26:22.799><c> when</c><00:26:22.980><c> ye</c><00:26:23.160><c> shall</c><00:26:23.259><c> have</c><00:26:23.480><c> done</c><00:26:23.680><c> all</c><00:26:24.099><c> those</c><00:26:24.380><c> things</c>

00:26:24.619 --> 00:26:28.680

00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:31.640
We<00:26:29.440><c> have</c><00:26:29.619><c> done</c><00:26:29.759><c> that</c><00:26:30.079><c> which</c><00:26:30.359><c> was</c><00:26:30.660><c> our</c><00:26:30.920><c> duty</c><00:26:31.140><c> to</c><00:26:31.420><c> do.</c>

00:26:31.859 --> 00:26:34.380
Now<00:26:32.180><c> that's</c><00:26:32.519><c> a</c><00:26:32.720><c> tough</c><00:26:32.960><c> parable</c><00:26:33.420><c> for</c><00:26:33.640><c> us</c><00:26:33.880><c> to</c><00:26:34.119><c> swallow,</c>

to<00:26:37.799><c> God.</c>

00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:43.240
There's<00:26:40.720><c> always</c><00:26:41.079><c> within</c><00:26:41.339><c> us</c><00:26:41.559><c> that</c><00:26:41.799><c> feeling</c><00:26:42.180><c> of,</c>

We<00:29:55.019><c> will</c><00:29:55.200><c> see</c><00:29:55.359><c> those</c><00:29:55.660><c> we</c><00:29:55.880><c> love</c><00:29:56.019><c> suffer</c><00:29:56.440><c> or</c><00:29:56.740><c> even</c><00:29:57.000><c> pass</c><00:29:57.319><c> away.</c>

00:29:58.200 --> 00:30:02.039
This<00:29:58.720><c> has</c><00:29:58.920><c> been</c><00:29:59.119><c> happening</c><00:29:59.440><c> since</c><00:29:59.799><c> the</c><00:29:59.920><c> beginning</c><00:30:00.500><c> after</c>

00:30:02.039 --> 00:30:02.599
Adam<00:30:02.319><c> fell.</c>

00:30:02.779 --> 00:30:03.779
It's<00:30:02.880><c> inevitable.</c>

00:30:04.660 --> 00:30:06.200
It's<00:30:04.880><c> interesting</c><00:30:05.299><c> how</c><00:30:05.539><c> in</c><00:30:05.700><c> some</c><00:30:05.880><c> cases</c>

00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:08.559
when<00:30:06.599><c> something</c><00:30:06.940><c> tragic</c><00:30:07.380><c> happens</c><00:30:07.720><c> to</c><00:30:07.960><c> some</c><00:30:08.160><c> people,</c>

00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:11.259
they<00:30:08.920><c> actually</c><00:30:09.240><c> get</c><00:30:09.599><c> strengthened</c><00:30:10.039><c> by</c><00:30:10.359><c> it.</c>

00:30:11.420 --> 00:30:13.099
Their<00:30:11.640><c> faith</c><00:30:12.000><c> is</c><00:30:12.460><c> even</c><00:30:12.700><c> stronger.</c>

00:30:13.180 --> 00:30:16.319
They're<00:30:13.359><c> even</c><00:30:13.599><c> more</c><00:30:13.859><c> determined</c><00:30:14.480><c> to</c><00:30:14.920><c> give</c><00:30:15.039><c> their</c><00:30:15.220><c> life</c><00:30:15.480><c> of</c><00:30:15.720><c> service</c><00:30:15.940><c> to</c><00:30:16.119><c> God</c>

00:30:16.319 --> 00:30:19.039
that<00:30:16.440><c> they</c><00:30:16.619><c> might</c><00:30:16.819><c> be</c><00:30:17.099><c> prepared.</c><00:30:17.400><c> They</c><00:30:17.559><c> see</c><00:30:17.740><c> it</c><00:30:17.859><c> as</c><00:30:18.039><c> a</c><00:30:18.200><c> warning.</c>

00:30:19.660 --> 00:30:23.220
And<00:30:19.799><c> yet</c><00:30:19.920><c> in</c><00:30:20.140><c> others,</c><00:30:21.599><c> they</c><00:30:21.859><c> are</c><00:30:22.099><c> buffeted</c><00:30:22.400><c> by</c><00:30:22.720><c> it.</c>

00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:25.240
They<00:30:24.000><c> complain</c><00:30:24.420><c> by</c><00:30:24.680><c> it.</c>

00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:27.400
They<00:30:25.819><c> say,</c><00:30:26.500><c> God</c><00:30:26.619><c> has</c><00:30:26.819><c> not</c><00:30:26.940><c> been</c><00:30:27.079><c> with</c><00:30:27.279><c> me.</c>

00:30:27.400 --> 00:30:28.880
What<00:30:27.519><c> have</c><00:30:27.660><c> I</c><00:30:27.900><c> done?</c>

00:30:30.480 --> 00:30:32.700
It's<00:30:30.740><c> the</c><00:30:30.880><c> story</c><00:30:31.039><c> of</c><00:30:31.279><c> Job,</c><00:30:31.579><c> isn't</c><00:30:31.660><c> it?</c>

00:30:33.779 --> 00:30:35.519
We<00:30:34.119><c> have</c><00:30:34.299><c> to</c><00:30:34.400><c> have</c><00:30:34.640><c> faith.</c>

00:30:35.819 --> 00:30:38.940
We<00:30:35.940><c> have</c><00:30:36.180><c> to</c><00:30:36.279><c> look</c><00:30:36.579><c> to</c><00:30:36.779><c> the</c><00:30:37.059><c> future,</c><00:30:38.220><c> to</c><00:30:38.380><c> the</c><00:30:38.619><c> ultimate,</c>

00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:42.819

00:30:43.299 --> 00:30:46.579
It's<00:30:43.539><c> having</c><00:30:43.799><c> this</c><00:30:44.140><c> eye</c><00:30:44.339><c> of</c><00:30:44.640><c> faith</c><00:30:44.819><c> that</c><00:30:45.140><c> carries</c><00:30:45.579><c> me</c>

00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:51.819
Whenever<00:30:49.619><c> I</c><00:30:49.859><c> feel</c><00:30:50.039><c> down</c><00:30:50.480><c> or</c><00:30:50.680><c> depressed,</c>

00:30:52.019 --> 00:30:53.579
I<00:30:52.140><c> go</c><00:30:52.259><c> and</c><00:30:52.420><c> take</c><00:30:52.579><c> a</c><00:30:52.700><c> look</c><00:30:52.819><c> at</c><00:30:53.000><c> this</c><00:30:53.220><c> verse,</c>

00:30:55.980 --> 00:31:00.480
Any<00:30:57.420><c> time</c><00:30:57.619><c> I</c><00:30:57.819><c> feel</c><00:30:58.079><c> a</c><00:30:58.259><c> little</c><00:30:58.420><c> in</c><00:30:58.660><c> the</c><00:30:58.819><c> dumps,</c>

00:31:02.779 --> 00:31:05.940
I<00:31:03.160><c> have</c><00:31:03.359><c> not</c><00:31:03.880><c> seen</c><00:31:04.579><c> nor</c><00:31:05.059><c> ear</c><00:31:05.500><c> heard,</c>

neither<00:31:06.539><c> have</c><00:31:06.859><c> entered</c><00:31:07.140><c> into</c><00:31:07.440><c> the</c><00:31:07.579><c> heart</c><00:31:07.819><c> of</c><00:31:08.039><c> man</c>

00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:14.240
the<00:31:08.960><c> things</c><00:31:10.099><c> which</c><00:31:12.259><c> God</c><00:31:13.059><c> hath</c><00:31:13.859><c> prepared</c>

00:31:14.539 --> 00:31:17.039
for<00:31:15.220><c> them</c><00:31:15.940><c> that</c><00:31:16.559><c> love</c><00:31:16.720><c> him.</c>

00:31:17.400 --> 00:31:23.359
I<00:31:17.980><c> think</c><00:31:18.140><c> that</c><00:31:18.359><c> is</c><00:31:18.579><c> just</c><00:31:19.299><c> a</c><00:31:19.680><c> fantastic,</c><00:31:22.099><c> comforting</c><00:31:22.640><c> thought.</c>

00:31:23.359 --> 00:31:29.220
One<00:31:24.140><c> I</c><00:31:24.299><c> have</c><00:31:24.480><c> read</c><00:31:25.019><c> over</c><00:31:26.519><c> and</c><00:31:26.859><c> over</c><00:31:27.220><c> and</c><00:31:27.380><c> over</c><00:31:27.660><c> again.</c>

00:31:31.579 --> 00:31:36.019
Let's<00:31:31.579><c> go</c><00:31:31.799><c> to</c><00:31:31.980><c> the</c><00:31:32.039><c> next</c><00:31:32.819><c> set</c><00:31:33.059><c> of</c><00:31:35.019><c> parables.</c>

00:31:37.019 --> 00:31:38.660
One<00:31:37.299><c> chapter</c><00:31:37.619><c> over,</c><00:31:37.900><c> chapter</c><00:31:38.180><c> 18,</c>

00:31:38.900 --> 00:31:40.740
the<00:31:39.119><c> unjust</c><00:31:39.619><c> judge.</c>

00:31:41.619 --> 00:31:43.660
And<00:31:41.619><c> he</c><00:31:41.779><c> spake</c><00:31:42.039><c> a</c><00:31:42.259><c> parable</c><00:31:42.519><c> unto</c><00:31:42.720><c> them,</c><00:31:43.140><c> to</c><00:31:43.299><c> this</c><00:31:43.539><c> end,</c>

00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:46.559
that<00:31:43.839><c> men</c><00:31:44.140><c> ought</c><00:31:44.400><c> always</c><00:31:44.759><c> to</c><00:31:45.039><c> pray</c><00:31:45.240><c> and</c><00:31:45.400><c> not</c><00:31:45.680><c> to</c><00:31:45.900><c> faint.</c>

00:31:46.660 --> 00:31:50.940
So<00:31:46.960><c> we're</c><00:31:47.460><c> building</c><00:31:47.720><c> on</c><00:31:48.019><c> this</c><00:31:48.779><c> parable</c><00:31:49.319><c> of</c><00:31:49.640><c> the</c><00:31:49.960><c> unprofitable</c><00:31:50.599><c> servant.</c>

00:31:50.940 --> 00:31:53.740
Jesus<00:31:51.740><c> is</c><00:31:52.019><c> now</c><00:31:52.240><c> again</c><00:31:52.420><c> aiming</c><00:31:52.740><c> the</c><00:31:53.019><c> parable</c><00:31:53.240><c> at</c><00:31:53.420><c> us</c>

00:31:53.740 --> 00:31:56.279
and<00:31:54.079><c> telling</c><00:31:54.220><c> us,</c><00:31:54.619><c> don't</c><00:31:54.619><c> give</c><00:31:54.859><c> up.</c>

00:31:59.019 --> 00:32:00.420
And<00:31:59.079><c> it's</c><00:31:59.240><c> a</c><00:31:59.359><c> kind</c><00:31:59.460><c> of</c><00:31:59.619><c> interesting</c><00:32:00.000><c> parable.</c>

00:32:00.539 --> 00:32:03.359
It's<00:32:00.579><c> what</c><00:32:00.759><c> the</c><00:32:01.000><c> Jews</c><00:32:01.240><c> call</c><00:32:01.759><c> light</c><00:32:02.319><c> and</c><00:32:02.619><c> heavy.</c>

00:32:03.779 --> 00:32:05.920
He<00:32:03.960><c> uses</c><00:32:04.259><c> a</c><00:32:04.940><c> sort</c><00:32:05.039><c> of</c><00:32:05.200><c> a</c><00:32:05.339><c> light</c><00:32:05.460><c> example</c>

00:32:05.920 --> 00:32:08.200
to<00:32:06.200><c> draw</c><00:32:06.420><c> us</c><00:32:06.660><c> to</c><00:32:06.839><c> the</c><00:32:07.019><c> heavier</c><00:32:07.339><c> meaning.</c>

00:32:08.700 --> 00:32:10.299
We<00:32:08.839><c> shouldn't</c><00:32:09.099><c> think</c><00:32:09.380><c> of</c><00:32:09.619><c> the</c><00:32:09.839><c> judge</c><00:32:10.019><c> here</c>

00:32:10.299 --> 00:32:13.640
as<00:32:10.599><c> representing</c><00:32:11.180><c> Jesus</c><00:32:11.700><c> Christ</c><00:32:12.240><c> or</c><00:32:12.759><c> God.</c>

00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:16.380
He's<00:32:14.339><c> a</c><00:32:14.440><c> very</c><00:32:14.720><c> lightweight</c><00:32:15.339><c> judge.</c>

00:32:16.660 --> 00:32:17.660
Look<00:32:16.859><c> at</c><00:32:16.940><c> him,</c><00:32:17.359><c> saying,</c>

00:32:17.660 --> 00:32:18.920
there<00:32:17.839><c> wasn't</c><00:32:18.180><c> a</c><00:32:18.380><c> city</c><00:32:18.539><c> or</c><00:32:18.740><c> judge</c>

00:32:18.920 --> 00:32:21.980
which<00:32:19.220><c> feared</c><00:32:19.500><c> not</c><00:32:19.799><c> God</c><00:32:20.059><c> neither</c><00:32:20.440><c> regarded</c><00:32:20.980><c> man.</c>

00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:24.759
This<00:32:22.599><c> judge</c><00:32:22.839><c> does</c><00:32:23.119><c> not</c><00:32:23.299><c> stand</c><00:32:23.539><c> for</c><00:32:23.720><c> Jesus</c><00:32:24.059><c> Christ.</c>

So<00:32:29.579><c> this</c><00:32:29.980><c> man</c><00:32:30.180><c> had</c><00:32:30.319><c> no</c><00:32:30.599><c> regard</c><00:32:30.920><c> for</c><00:32:31.200><c> the</c><00:32:31.359><c> Lord</c><00:32:31.579><c> God</c><00:32:31.859><c> at</c><00:32:32.119><c> all.</c>

00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:34.619
Neither<00:32:33.799><c> regarded</c><00:32:34.259><c> man.</c>

00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:38.079
Well,<00:32:34.900><c> he</c><00:32:35.140><c> wasn't</c><00:32:35.420><c> too</c><00:32:35.660><c> concerned</c><00:32:36.000><c> about</c><00:32:36.279><c> public</c><00:32:36.680><c> opinion</c><00:32:37.079><c> either.</c>

00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:42.160

verse<00:32:42.559><c> 19.</c>

00:32:44.039 --> 00:32:46.259
And<00:32:44.339><c> the</c><00:32:44.480><c> chief</c><00:32:44.819><c> priests</c><00:32:45.579><c> and</c><00:32:45.759><c> the</c><00:32:45.980><c> scribes</c>

00:32:46.259 --> 00:32:48.220

00:32:48.259 --> 00:32:50.859
And<00:32:48.519><c> they</c><00:32:48.859><c> feared</c><00:32:49.079><c> the</c><00:32:49.359><c> people</c><00:32:49.859><c> for</c><00:32:50.240><c> they</c><00:32:50.519><c> perceived</c>

00:32:50.859 --> 00:32:53.339
that<00:32:51.019><c> he</c><00:32:51.119><c> had</c><00:32:51.359><c> spoken</c><00:32:51.680><c> this</c><00:32:51.960><c> parable</c><00:32:52.299><c> against</c><00:32:52.779><c> them.</c>

00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:57.880
Well,<00:32:53.980><c> even</c><00:32:54.200><c> the</c><00:32:54.859><c> Pharisees</c><00:32:55.880><c> feared</c><00:32:56.160><c> public</c><00:32:56.579><c> opinion.</c>

00:33:00.940 --> 00:33:03.119
Pilate<00:33:01.440><c> feared</c><00:33:01.759><c> public</c><00:33:02.140><c> opinion,</c><00:33:02.660><c> didn't</c><00:33:02.819><c> he?</c>

00:33:03.619 --> 00:33:05.619
There's<00:33:03.799><c> many</c><00:33:04.079><c> examples</c><00:33:04.779><c> of</c><00:33:05.359><c> that.</c>

00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:07.480
We<00:33:06.200><c> often</c><00:33:06.480><c> fear</c><00:33:06.700><c> public</c><00:33:07.079><c> opinion.</c>

00:33:07.779 --> 00:33:10.579
We<00:33:08.000><c> won't</c><00:33:08.200><c> do</c><00:33:08.400><c> something</c><00:33:08.700><c> we</c><00:33:08.960><c> know</c><00:33:09.180><c> is</c><00:33:09.500><c> right</c>

00:33:10.819 --> 00:33:14.019
because<00:33:11.380><c> other</c><00:33:11.799><c> people</c><00:33:12.059><c> may</c><00:33:12.279><c> not</c><00:33:12.500><c> think</c><00:33:12.660><c> well</c><00:33:12.859><c> of</c><00:33:13.000><c> us.</c>

00:33:14.599 --> 00:33:16.640
That's<00:33:15.039><c> very</c><00:33:15.359><c> dangerous.</c>

00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:19.079
Very<00:33:18.039><c> dangerous.</c>

00:33:19.940 --> 00:33:22.000
You<00:33:20.000><c> know,</c><00:33:20.299><c> if</c><00:33:20.599><c> I</c><00:33:20.799><c> have</c><00:33:21.000><c> to</c><00:33:21.119><c> get</c><00:33:21.220><c> on</c><00:33:21.400><c> this</c><00:33:21.539><c> platform</c>

00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:25.039
and<00:33:22.220><c> feel</c><00:33:22.359><c> that</c><00:33:22.519><c> I</c><00:33:22.619><c> can</c><00:33:22.839><c> only</c><00:33:23.220><c> say</c><00:33:23.619><c> what</c><00:33:24.480><c> is</c><00:33:24.680><c> going</c><00:33:24.779><c> to</c><00:33:24.900><c> make</c>

00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:27.799
100<00:33:25.400><c>%</c><00:33:25.720><c> of</c><00:33:25.859><c> the</c><00:33:26.019><c> people</c><00:33:26.180><c> of</c><00:33:26.299><c> this</c><00:33:26.519><c> room</c><00:33:26.720><c> happy,</c>

00:33:28.700 --> 00:33:30.119
I'm<00:33:29.140><c> in</c><00:33:29.299><c> trouble.</c>

00:33:30.900 --> 00:33:32.680
I<00:33:31.140><c> haven't</c><00:33:31.359><c> done</c><00:33:31.539><c> my</c><00:33:31.819><c> job.</c>

00:33:33.079 --> 00:33:35.279
You<00:33:33.259><c> wasted</c><00:33:33.559><c> your</c><00:33:33.819><c> time</c><00:33:33.960><c> bringing</c><00:33:34.220><c> me</c><00:33:34.480><c> here.</c>

00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:37.279
I<00:33:35.900><c> want</c><00:33:36.039><c> to</c><00:33:36.180><c> make</c><00:33:36.299><c> all</c><00:33:36.539><c> of</c><00:33:36.680><c> you</c><00:33:36.799><c> miserable.</c>

00:33:37.700 --> 00:33:39.420
Well,<00:33:38.140><c> not</c><00:33:38.500><c> quite</c><00:33:38.839><c> that</c><00:33:39.180><c> bad.</c>

00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:40.500
Not<00:33:39.859><c> quite</c><00:33:40.119><c> that</c><00:33:40.380><c> bad.</c>

00:33:40.660 --> 00:33:42.519
But<00:33:40.779><c> you</c><00:33:40.859><c> know,</c><00:33:40.960><c> it's</c><00:33:41.039><c> kind</c><00:33:41.180><c> of</c><00:33:41.339><c> funny</c><00:33:41.480><c> when</c><00:33:41.599><c> you</c><00:33:41.740><c> give</c><00:33:41.839><c> an</c><00:33:42.019><c> excitation</c>

00:33:42.519 --> 00:33:43.640
and<00:33:42.660><c> someone</c><00:33:42.880><c> comes</c><00:33:43.099><c> up</c><00:33:43.299><c> to</c><00:33:43.359><c> you</c><00:33:43.440><c> and</c><00:33:43.500><c> says,</c>

00:33:43.859 --> 00:33:45.980
I<00:33:44.000><c> agreed</c><00:33:44.380><c> with</c><00:33:44.559><c> all</c><00:33:44.779><c> of</c><00:33:44.920><c> that.</c>

00:33:47.940 --> 00:33:49.660
That<00:33:48.339><c> was</c><00:33:48.539><c> a</c><00:33:48.640><c> wonderful</c><00:33:49.079><c> excitation.</c>

00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:50.519
It<00:33:49.859><c> really</c><00:33:49.940><c> made</c><00:33:50.140><c> me</c><00:33:50.380><c> think.</c>

00:33:50.539 --> 00:33:52.460
It<00:33:50.640><c> doesn't</c><00:33:50.920><c> apply</c><00:33:51.200><c> to</c><00:33:51.299><c> me,</c><00:33:51.799><c> however.</c>

00:33:52.740 --> 00:33:54.339
I<00:33:52.839><c> had</c><00:33:52.960><c> a</c><00:33:53.019><c> sister</c><00:33:53.220><c> tell</c><00:33:53.400><c> me</c><00:33:53.559><c> that</c><00:33:53.779><c> recently.</c>

00:33:54.619 --> 00:33:56.799
She<00:33:54.700><c> said,</c><00:33:55.400><c> it</c><00:33:55.519><c> applied</c><00:33:55.819><c> to</c><00:33:56.000><c> all</c><00:33:56.180><c> those</c><00:33:56.380><c> other</c><00:33:56.599><c> people</c>

00:33:56.799 --> 00:33:59.119
and<00:33:56.900><c> I'm</c><00:33:57.119><c> glad</c><00:33:57.279><c> you</c><00:33:57.500><c> said</c><00:33:57.640><c> it.</c>

00:34:01.160 --> 00:34:03.880
Somehow<00:34:01.440><c> I</c><00:34:01.660><c> think</c><00:34:01.880><c> I</c><00:34:02.819><c> must</c><00:34:03.079><c> have</c><00:34:03.279><c> blown</c><00:34:03.460><c> that</c><00:34:03.740><c> one</c>

00:34:03.880 --> 00:34:07.920
because<00:34:04.440><c> if</c><00:34:05.960><c> you</c><00:34:06.180><c> go</c><00:34:06.400><c> someplace</c><00:34:06.900><c> and</c><00:34:07.319><c> the</c><00:34:07.420><c> idea</c><00:34:07.720><c> is</c>

00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:10.119
let<00:34:08.139><c> a</c><00:34:08.400><c> man</c><00:34:08.599><c> examine</c><00:34:09.039><c> the</c><00:34:09.219><c> person</c><00:34:09.519><c> next</c><00:34:09.840><c> to</c><00:34:09.980><c> him,</c>

00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:12.219
you<00:34:10.639><c> failed</c><00:34:10.960><c> in</c><00:34:11.139><c> what</c><00:34:11.260><c> you</c><00:34:11.440><c> did</c><00:34:11.519><c> in</c><00:34:11.659><c> the</c><00:34:11.800><c> excitation.</c>

00:34:12.219 --> 00:34:14.440
Maybe<00:34:12.599><c> unknowingly,</c><00:34:13.480><c> maybe</c><00:34:13.820><c> unwisely,</c>

00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:16.519
but<00:34:15.019><c> we</c><00:34:15.460><c> should</c><00:34:15.699><c> be</c><00:34:15.980><c> pricked</c><00:34:16.139><c> in</c><00:34:16.320><c> the</c><00:34:16.420><c> heart.</c>

00:34:16.599 --> 00:34:18.519
And<00:34:16.679><c> you</c><00:34:16.780><c> know,</c><00:34:17.179><c> when</c><00:34:17.340><c> I</c><00:34:17.599><c> make</c><00:34:17.739><c> an</c><00:34:17.940><c> excitation</c><00:34:18.360><c> up</c>

00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:25.239
There's<00:34:23.579><c> one</c><00:34:23.800><c> person</c><00:34:24.079><c> I</c><00:34:24.219><c> really</c><00:34:24.579><c> want</c><00:34:24.739><c> to</c><00:34:24.900><c> make</c><00:34:25.079><c> think</c>

00:34:26.719 --> 00:34:28.920
There's<00:34:26.980><c> one</c><00:34:27.219><c> person</c><00:34:27.480><c> I</c><00:34:27.639><c> want</c><00:34:27.800><c> to</c><00:34:28.059><c> really</c><00:34:28.340><c> pay</c><00:34:28.539><c> attention</c>

00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:31.599
Me.

00:34:32.679 --> 00:34:36.119
And<00:34:32.980><c> if</c><00:34:33.340><c> any</c><00:34:33.599><c> of</c><00:34:33.760><c> the</c><00:34:33.840><c> other</c><00:34:34.019><c> of</c><00:34:34.280><c> you</c><00:34:34.460><c> have</c><00:34:34.679><c> any</c><00:34:35.099><c> similarity,</c>

00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:48.699
So<00:34:45.980><c> if</c><00:34:46.039><c> you're</c><00:34:46.179><c> wondering</c><00:34:46.559><c> where</c><00:34:47.699><c> I</c><00:34:47.960><c> get</c><00:34:48.219><c> this</c><00:34:48.480><c> from</c>

00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:02.320

Great.

00:35:31.260 --> 00:35:35.559
This<00:35:31.739><c> unjust</c><00:35:32.219><c> judge</c><00:35:32.880><c> didn't</c><00:35:34.440><c> care</c><00:35:34.639><c> about</c><00:35:34.880><c> public</c><00:35:35.239><c> opinion.</c>

00:35:35.619 --> 00:35:36.980

00:37:21.940 --> 00:37:24.059

There's<00:37:27.019><c> no</c><00:37:27.260><c> question</c><00:37:27.579><c> about</c><00:37:27.960><c> being</c><00:37:28.320><c> diligent.</c>

00:38:18.400 --> 00:38:21.179

00:39:12.219 --> 00:39:15.519
That<00:39:12.579><c> parable</c><00:39:13.179><c> has</c><00:39:14.639><c> that</c><00:39:15.000><c> message</c>

00:39:20.320 --> 00:39:22.619
Don't<00:39:20.920><c> give</c><00:39:21.340><c> up.</c>

00:39:24.480 --> 00:39:25.940
If<00:39:24.619><c> we</c><00:39:24.840><c> are</c><00:39:25.059><c> weary,</c>

00:39:26.139 --> 00:39:27.559

God<00:39:28.260><c> will</c><00:39:28.559><c> replace</c><00:39:28.980><c> us.</c>

00:39:31.880 --> 00:39:35.960

00:39:36.159 --> 00:39:38.099
I<00:39:36.500><c> guess</c><00:39:36.699><c> this</c><00:39:37.159><c> last</c><00:39:37.460><c> parable</c><00:39:37.860><c> here</c>

00:39:41.079 --> 00:39:43.119
And<00:39:41.400><c> he</c><00:39:41.699><c> spake</c><00:39:41.900><c> this</c><00:39:42.159><c> parable</c><00:39:42.480><c> unto</c><00:39:42.739><c> certain</c>

00:39:43.119 --> 00:39:45.000
men<00:39:43.460><c> which</c><00:39:43.460><c> trusted</c><00:39:43.739><c> in</c><00:39:43.940><c> themselves</c>

00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:47.900
that<00:39:45.219><c> they</c><00:39:45.420><c> were</c><00:39:45.659><c> righteous</c><00:39:46.079><c> and</c><00:39:46.340><c> despised</c><00:39:46.940><c> others.</c>

00:42:33.940 --> 00:42:36.360
because<00:42:34.320><c> we</c><00:42:34.639><c> do</c><00:42:34.900><c> such</c><00:42:35.199><c> and</c><00:42:35.440><c> such.</c>

00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:39.079
God<00:42:37.480><c> will</c><00:42:37.760><c> not</c><00:42:37.980><c> be</c><00:42:38.239><c> fooled.</c>

00:42:40.019 --> 00:42:41.199
It<00:42:40.139><c> is</c><00:42:40.360><c> tragic,</c><00:42:40.780><c> in</c><00:42:41.019><c> fact,</c>

00:42:41.300 --> 00:42:43.400

00:42:48.599 --> 00:42:50.460
It's<00:42:49.099><c> not</c><00:42:49.400><c> different.</c>

00:42:50.920 --> 00:42:53.260
The<00:42:51.219><c> Pharisees</c><00:42:51.800><c> intended</c><00:42:52.239><c> to</c><00:42:52.500><c> be</c><00:42:52.699><c> seen.</c>

00:42:53.260 --> 00:42:56.500
They<00:42:54.179><c> wanted</c><00:42:54.639><c> the</c><00:42:54.980><c> adulation</c><00:42:55.380><c> of</c><00:42:55.639><c> men.</c>

00:42:57.159 --> 00:42:59.000
This<00:42:57.360><c> Pharisee</c><00:42:57.900><c> did</c><00:42:58.159><c> not</c><00:42:58.460><c> thank</c><00:42:58.739><c> God</c>

00:42:59.000 --> 00:43:00.599

00:43:24.900 --> 00:43:26.920
He<00:43:25.119><c> found</c><00:43:25.440><c> in</c><00:43:25.659><c> him</c><00:43:25.840><c> not</c><00:43:26.400><c> having</c>

00:43:36.719 --> 00:43:38.380
You<00:43:36.960><c> could</c><00:43:37.159><c> feel</c><00:43:37.400><c> real</c><00:43:37.679><c> good</c><00:43:37.900><c> by</c><00:43:38.139><c> doing</c>
