00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:36.920
And<00:00:33.439><c> sometimes</c><00:00:33.780><c> we</c><00:00:34.179><c> overlook</c><00:00:34.520><c> that.</c><00:00:35.600><c> When</c><00:00:35.799><c> the</c><00:00:35.960><c> Lord</c><00:00:36.119><c> was</c><00:00:36.380><c> speaking</c><00:00:36.579><c> his</c>

00:00:50.060 --> 00:00:53.939
And<00:00:50.359><c> this</c><00:00:50.640><c> one</c><00:00:50.979><c> is</c><00:00:51.719><c> no</c><00:00:52.039><c> exception</c><00:00:52.600><c> to</c><00:00:52.820><c> that</c><00:00:53.079><c> rule.</c><00:00:53.359><c> It</c><00:00:53.420><c> has</c><00:00:53.679><c> a</c>

And<00:00:57.719><c> in</c><00:00:57.820><c> order</c><00:00:58.159><c> to</c><00:00:58.619><c> understand</c><00:00:59.179><c> that,</c><00:00:59.700><c> we</c><00:00:59.899><c> must</c><00:01:00.280><c> see</c><00:01:00.700><c> the</c><00:01:01.039><c> circumstances</c><00:01:01.640><c> that</c>

00:01:04.700 --> 00:01:08.340
You<00:01:04.879><c> see,</c><00:01:05.099><c> we</c><00:01:05.239><c> consider</c><00:01:05.579><c> together,</c><00:01:06.040><c> didn't</c><00:01:06.219><c> we,</c><00:01:06.939><c> Jesus'</c><00:01:07.620><c> encounter</c><00:01:07.879><c> with</c>

I<00:04:35.000><c> mean,</c><00:04:35.120><c> we</c><00:04:35.399><c> accept</c><00:04:35.740><c> that.</c>

00:04:36.180 --> 00:04:37.459
We<00:04:36.439><c> say,</c><00:04:36.800><c> well,</c><00:04:36.800><c> that's</c><00:04:37.120><c> fine.</c>

00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:39.959
We<00:04:37.899><c> understand</c><00:04:38.379><c> the</c><00:04:38.639><c> problem,</c><00:04:39.259><c> brothers</c><00:04:39.439><c> and</c><00:04:39.699><c> sisters.</c>

00:04:42.019 --> 00:04:44.199
Well,<00:04:42.300><c> you</c><00:04:42.420><c> see,</c><00:04:42.800><c> there's</c><00:04:42.920><c> a</c><00:04:42.980><c> lot</c><00:04:43.100><c> of</c><00:04:43.300><c> things</c><00:04:43.600><c> in</c><00:04:43.740><c> their</c><00:04:44.000><c> life,</c>

isn't<00:04:44.459><c> there?</c>

00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:48.120
We<00:04:45.459><c> look</c><00:04:45.620><c> at</c><00:04:45.759><c> these</c><00:04:45.959><c> disciples</c><00:04:46.319><c> sometimes,</c><00:04:46.819><c> and</c><00:04:47.139><c> we</c><00:04:47.420><c> almost</c><00:04:47.740><c> think,</c>

00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:49.560
I<00:04:48.360><c> suppose,</c><00:04:48.779><c> they're</c><00:04:49.000><c> simpletons.</c>

00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:52.959
And<00:04:49.939><c> yet</c><00:04:50.079><c> we</c><00:04:50.300><c> spend</c><00:04:50.519><c> a</c><00:04:50.699><c> lifetime</c><00:04:51.040><c> studying</c><00:04:51.540><c> their</c><00:04:51.980><c> epistles.</c>

The<00:04:53.319><c> epistles,</c><00:04:53.680><c> some</c><00:04:53.839><c> of</c><00:04:53.920><c> them</c><00:04:54.060><c> wrote.</c>

00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:56.379
We've<00:04:55.259><c> got</c><00:04:55.300><c> to</c><00:04:55.560><c> study</c><00:04:55.800><c> them.</c>

00:04:56.860 --> 00:04:58.199

00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:27.419

00:15:15.580 --> 00:15:19.299
Jesus<00:15:15.840><c> knew</c><00:15:16.179><c> that</c><00:15:16.340><c> his</c><00:15:16.580><c> Father</c><00:15:16.779><c> would</c><00:15:17.100><c> never</c><00:15:17.500><c> act</c><00:15:17.860><c> out</c><00:15:18.000><c> of</c><00:15:18.279><c> character,</c>

00:15:28.220 --> 00:15:32.080
He<00:15:28.399><c> had</c><00:15:28.580><c> that</c><00:15:28.820><c> wonderful</c><00:15:29.759><c> comprehension,</c><00:15:30.519><c> brothers</c><00:15:30.879><c> and</c><00:15:31.120><c> sisters,</c><00:15:31.860><c> of</c>

the<00:15:32.519><c> capabilities</c><00:15:33.059><c> of</c><00:15:33.259><c> his</c><00:15:33.460><c> Father.</c>

00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:37.419
He<00:15:33.899><c> knew</c><00:15:34.139><c> that</c><00:15:34.399><c> lesson</c><00:15:34.700><c> and</c><00:15:35.019><c> he</c><00:15:35.080><c> was</c><00:15:35.840><c> therefore</c><00:15:36.240><c> qualified</c><00:15:37.120><c> to</c>

00:15:37.419 --> 00:15:39.779
teach<00:15:37.639><c> it</c><00:15:37.840><c> because</c><00:15:38.080><c> he</c><00:15:38.379><c> believed</c><00:15:38.860><c> it</c>

00:15:39.779 --> 00:15:44.080
and<00:15:40.340><c> he</c><00:15:40.620><c> believed</c><00:15:40.799><c> it</c><00:15:40.940><c> in</c><00:15:41.080><c> the</c><00:15:41.240><c> direst</c><00:15:41.799><c> extremity</c><00:15:42.399><c> in</c><00:15:42.879><c> the</c><00:15:43.039><c> Garden</c><00:15:43.340><c> of</c><00:15:43.559><c> Gethsemane.</c>

00:15:44.539 --> 00:15:48.200
Now<00:15:44.720><c> it's</c><00:15:45.019><c> important</c><00:15:45.460><c> that</c><00:15:45.639><c> we</c><00:15:45.820><c> take</c><00:15:46.080><c> note</c><00:15:46.340><c> of</c><00:15:46.720><c> Peter's</c><00:15:47.159><c> reaction</c>

00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:51.580
because<00:15:48.779><c> here</c><00:15:49.000><c> comes,</c><00:15:49.500><c> I</c><00:15:50.039><c> believe,</c><00:15:50.559><c> the</c><00:15:50.679><c> background</c><00:15:51.159><c> to</c><00:15:51.360><c> the</c>

second<00:15:51.860><c> thrust</c><00:15:52.159><c> in</c><00:15:52.340><c> this</c><00:15:52.620><c> parable.</c>

00:15:54.179 --> 00:15:57.059
We<00:15:54.379><c> read</c><00:15:54.600><c> that</c><00:15:55.019><c> Peter</c><00:15:55.460><c> began</c><00:15:55.980><c> to</c><00:15:56.299><c> say,</c>

00:15:57.240 --> 00:16:01.340
I<00:15:57.799><c> want</c><00:15:58.039><c> you</c><00:15:58.179><c> to</c><00:15:58.340><c> take</c><00:15:58.519><c> special</c><00:15:58.899><c> notice</c><00:15:59.419><c> that</c><00:15:59.960><c> Peter</c><00:16:00.240><c> is</c><00:16:00.500><c> the</c><00:16:00.740><c> spokesman</c>

00:16:01.340 --> 00:16:04.279
and<00:16:01.519><c> he's</c><00:16:01.679><c> not</c><00:16:01.980><c> here</c><00:16:02.500><c> talking</c><00:16:02.960><c> on</c><00:16:03.120><c> his</c><00:16:03.399><c> own</c><00:16:03.659><c> behalf,</c><00:16:04.179><c> brothers</c>

and<00:16:04.500><c> sisters.</c>

00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:07.600
He's<00:16:05.639><c> actually</c><00:16:06.059><c> representing</c><00:16:06.759><c> them</c><00:16:07.080><c> all.</c>

00:16:07.899 --> 00:16:10.759
Lo,<00:16:08.179><c> we</c><00:16:08.360><c> have</c><00:16:08.600><c> left</c><00:16:09.299><c> all.</c><00:16:09.600><c> We</c><00:16:09.899><c> have.</c>

00:16:10.779 --> 00:16:13.539
So<00:16:11.039><c> Peter</c><00:16:11.299><c> isn't</c><00:16:11.580><c> in</c><00:16:11.840><c> this</c><00:16:12.539><c> simply</c><00:16:12.919><c> for</c><00:16:13.159><c> himself.</c>

00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:18.759
He's<00:16:13.899><c> not</c><00:16:14.299><c> selfish,</c><00:16:15.519><c> but</c><00:16:15.679><c> he's</c><00:16:15.899><c> the</c><00:16:16.139><c> spokesman</c><00:16:16.980><c> for</c><00:16:17.419><c> them</c><00:16:17.679><c> all.</c>

00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:23.519
And<00:16:19.799><c> I</c><00:16:20.080><c> suppose</c><00:16:20.639><c> it's</c><00:16:21.120><c> in</c><00:16:21.220><c> measure</c><00:16:21.919><c> of</c><00:16:22.659><c> credit</c><00:16:22.879><c> to</c><00:16:23.100><c> Peter</c><00:16:23.320><c> that</c>

00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:24.740
he<00:16:23.700><c> withstood</c><00:16:24.120><c> the</c><00:16:24.379><c> gaze.</c>

00:16:24.740 --> 00:16:27.759
He<00:16:25.539><c> stood</c><00:16:25.799><c> up</c><00:16:26.039><c> to</c><00:16:26.139><c> it.</c><00:16:26.240><c> It</c><00:16:26.320><c> would</c><00:16:26.620><c> be</c><00:16:26.720><c> very</c><00:16:27.019><c> difficult,</c><00:16:27.480><c> wouldn't</c><00:16:27.620><c> it,</c>

00:16:27.820 --> 00:16:29.019
brothers<00:16:27.980><c> and</c><00:16:28.279><c> sisters,</c>

00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:32.720
to<00:16:29.679><c> stand</c><00:16:30.059><c> up</c><00:16:30.340><c> to</c><00:16:30.519><c> that</c><00:16:30.700><c> look</c><00:16:31.000><c> from</c><00:16:31.580><c> that</c><00:16:31.799><c> man?</c>

00:16:33.019 --> 00:16:35.340
But<00:16:33.179><c> Peter</c><00:16:33.299><c> looked</c><00:16:33.539><c> him</c><00:16:33.700><c> up</c><00:16:34.039><c> in</c><00:16:34.200><c> the</c><00:16:34.379><c> eye</c><00:16:34.580><c> and</c><00:16:34.679><c> said,</c>

00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:37.720
well,<00:16:36.379><c> we've</c><00:16:36.559><c> left</c><00:16:36.799><c> all</c><00:16:37.039><c> and</c><00:16:37.320><c> followed</c><00:16:37.539><c> you.</c>

00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:40.360
He<00:16:37.940><c> felt</c><00:16:38.179><c> confident</c><00:16:38.679><c> about</c><00:16:39.039><c> that.</c><00:16:39.440><c> He</c><00:16:39.500><c> was</c><00:16:39.720><c> the</c><00:16:39.960><c> spokesman</c>

00:16:40.700 --> 00:16:42.120
Don't<00:16:40.940><c> forget</c><00:16:41.240><c> that.</c>

00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:46.740
And<00:16:43.320><c> you</c><00:16:43.399><c> know,</c><00:16:43.639><c> brothers</c><00:16:43.779><c> and</c><00:16:44.059><c> sisters,</c><00:16:44.960><c> what</c><00:16:45.679><c> he</c><00:16:45.919><c> said</c><00:16:46.100><c> had</c>

00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:27.779
well,<00:19:24.859><c> Peter,</c><00:19:25.480><c> there's</c><00:19:25.680><c> only</c><00:19:25.859><c> going</c><00:19:25.980><c> to</c><00:19:26.079><c> be</c><00:19:26.259><c> one</c><00:19:26.680><c> great</c><00:19:27.160><c> new</c><00:19:27.519><c> beginning,</c>

00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:30.279

00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:38.539
And<00:19:35.619><c> the</c><00:19:35.740><c> Lord</c><00:19:35.880><c> told</c><00:19:36.259><c> them</c><00:19:36.380><c> what</c><00:19:36.500><c> they're</c><00:19:36.720><c> going</c><00:19:36.740><c> to</c><00:19:36.880><c> get</c><00:19:37.240><c> on</c>

00:24:31.980 --> 00:24:34.740
We<00:24:32.000><c> just</c><00:24:32.480><c> can't</c><00:24:33.099><c> spend</c><00:24:33.420><c> the</c><00:24:33.539><c> amount</c><00:24:33.700><c> of</c><00:24:33.880><c> time</c><00:24:34.000><c> we'd</c><00:24:34.339><c> like</c><00:24:34.500><c> to</c>

00:24:36.059 --> 00:24:39.039
And<00:24:36.200><c> it</c><00:24:36.339><c> brings</c><00:24:36.519><c> about</c><00:24:36.700><c> disappointments</c><00:24:37.579><c> because</c><00:24:38.079><c> we</c><00:24:38.680><c> can't</c>

00:24:41.140 --> 00:24:42.880
There<00:24:41.240><c> are</c><00:24:41.319><c> those</c><00:24:41.539><c> things</c><00:24:41.700><c> which</c><00:24:41.920><c> we</c><00:24:42.119><c> may</c><00:24:42.319><c> call</c><00:24:42.599><c> sacrifice</c>

00:24:54.640 --> 00:24:58.180

So<00:30:29.299><c> we</c><00:30:29.380><c> need</c><00:30:29.539><c> to</c><00:30:29.599><c> keep</c><00:30:29.759><c> those</c><00:30:30.019><c> two</c><00:30:30.259><c> things</c><00:30:30.480><c> in</c><00:30:30.720><c> mind,</c>

00:30:30.940 --> 00:30:33.059
and<00:30:31.079><c> then</c><00:30:31.180><c> we</c><00:30:31.319><c> read</c><00:30:31.500><c> this</c><00:30:31.740><c> parable,</c><00:30:32.259><c> brothers</c><00:30:32.380><c> and</c><00:30:32.660><c> sisters.</c>

00:30:33.460 --> 00:30:36.400
But<00:30:33.579><c> let's</c><00:30:33.759><c> just,</c><00:30:34.240><c> with</c><00:30:34.380><c> an</c><00:30:34.599><c> introductory</c><00:30:35.059><c> comment,</c><00:30:36.279><c> just</c>

00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:38.559
say<00:30:36.880><c> three</c><00:30:37.339><c> things</c>

00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:44.619
that<00:30:39.400><c> were</c><00:30:39.660><c> implied</c><00:30:40.640><c> in</c><00:30:40.980><c> Peter's,</c><00:30:42.160><c> what</c><00:30:42.420><c> shall</c><00:30:42.880><c> we</c><00:30:43.519><c> have</c><00:30:43.960><c> therefore?</c>

00:30:45.059 --> 00:30:48.180
And<00:30:45.539><c> these</c><00:30:45.980><c> three</c><00:30:46.279><c> things</c><00:30:46.599><c> are</c><00:30:46.900><c> dealt</c><00:30:47.140><c> with</c><00:30:47.319><c> in</c><00:30:47.460><c> this</c><00:30:47.720><c> parable.</c>

00:30:48.180 --> 00:30:56.339
First<00:30:48.920><c> of</c><00:30:49.160><c> all,</c><00:30:49.799><c> Peter</c><00:30:49.920><c> saw</c><00:30:50.519><c> that</c><00:30:51.839><c> God's</c><00:30:52.500><c> gifts</c><00:30:53.039><c> are</c><00:30:55.019><c> really</c><00:30:55.619><c> things</c>

00:30:56.339 --> 00:31:00.900
that<00:30:57.119><c> have</c><00:30:57.240><c> been</c><00:30:57.440><c> seen</c><00:30:57.579><c> in</c><00:30:57.759><c> the</c><00:30:57.940><c> light</c><00:30:58.099><c> of</c><00:30:58.299><c> a</c><00:30:58.480><c> debt</c><00:30:59.140><c> rather</c>

00:31:00.900 --> 00:31:02.039
than<00:31:01.200><c> free</c><00:31:01.460><c> gifts</c><00:31:01.740><c> given.</c>

00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:04.700
We<00:31:02.660><c> have</c><00:31:02.900><c> left</c><00:31:03.180><c> all,</c><00:31:03.559><c> what</c><00:31:03.920><c> shall</c><00:31:04.200><c> we</c><00:31:04.480><c> get?</c>

00:31:04.799 --> 00:31:09.640
Peter<00:31:05.140><c> is</c><00:31:05.519><c> not</c><00:31:05.799><c> entirely</c><00:31:06.400><c> devoid</c><00:31:06.940><c> of</c><00:31:07.319><c> the</c><00:31:07.480><c> Judaistic</c><00:31:08.160><c> attitude,</c><00:31:08.700><c> is</c><00:31:08.740><c> he?</c>

00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:15.519
So<00:31:10.400><c> he</c><00:31:10.579><c> did</c><00:31:11.059><c> see</c><00:31:11.579><c> that</c><00:31:11.859><c> whatever</c><00:31:12.140><c> we</c><00:31:12.500><c> get,</c><00:31:13.519><c> it</c><00:31:13.680><c> will</c><00:31:13.859><c> be</c><00:31:14.220><c> a</c><00:31:14.420><c> free</c><00:31:14.880><c> gift.</c>

00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:20.140
The<00:31:16.259><c> gift</c><00:31:16.940><c> of</c><00:31:17.279><c> God</c><00:31:17.660><c> is</c><00:31:18.460><c> everlasting</c><00:31:18.940><c> life,</c><00:31:19.500><c> brothers</c><00:31:19.599><c> and</c><00:31:19.880><c> sisters.</c>

00:31:20.279 --> 00:31:24.299
It's<00:31:20.480><c> the</c><00:31:20.839><c> gift</c><00:31:21.220><c> of</c><00:31:21.539><c> grace,</c><00:31:22.500><c> not</c><00:31:22.660><c> a</c><00:31:22.819><c> question</c><00:31:23.000><c> of</c><00:31:23.299><c> we</c><00:31:23.660><c> doing</c><00:31:23.920><c> something,</c>

00:31:24.400 --> 00:31:26.079
and<00:31:24.559><c> therefore</c><00:31:24.859><c> what</c><00:31:25.099><c> are</c><00:31:25.299><c> we</c><00:31:25.480><c> going</c><00:31:25.660><c> to</c><00:31:25.920><c> get?</c>

00:31:26.380 --> 00:31:27.940
So<00:31:26.440><c> that's</c><00:31:26.720><c> the</c><00:31:26.839><c> first</c><00:31:27.119><c> thing.</c>

00:31:28.400 --> 00:31:33.480
The<00:31:28.640><c> second</c><00:31:28.900><c> thing</c><00:31:29.180><c> is</c><00:31:29.460><c> this,</c><00:31:31.440><c> that</c><00:31:31.680><c> Peter</c><00:31:31.960><c> became</c><00:31:32.539><c> the</c><00:31:32.859><c> spokesman</c><00:31:33.299><c> of</c>

00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:34.319
those<00:31:33.720><c> disciples</c>

00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:37.980
after<00:31:35.259><c> he</c><00:31:35.480><c> had</c><00:31:35.759><c> perceived</c><00:31:36.480><c> that</c><00:31:37.140><c> the</c><00:31:37.259><c> young</c><00:31:37.500><c> man</c><00:31:37.660><c> had</c><00:31:37.779><c> been</c>

00:31:37.980 --> 00:31:38.779
walked<00:31:38.220><c> away,</c>

00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:41.960
that<00:31:39.119><c> Jesus</c><00:31:39.500><c> had</c><00:31:39.839><c> said</c><00:31:40.000><c> that</c><00:31:40.259><c> young</c><00:31:40.539><c> man</c><00:31:40.779><c> was</c><00:31:40.980><c> in</c><00:31:41.279><c> danger</c><00:31:41.680><c> of</c>

00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:42.880
losing<00:31:42.279><c> the</c><00:31:42.539><c> kingdom.</c>

00:31:43.339 --> 00:31:46.299
And<00:31:43.779><c> Peter</c><00:31:43.900><c> was</c><00:31:44.180><c> quick</c><00:31:44.400><c> enough</c><00:31:44.720><c> to</c><00:31:44.900><c> pick</c><00:31:45.099><c> up</c><00:31:45.279><c> the</c><00:31:45.480><c> point,</c>

00:31:46.900 --> 00:31:48.660
although<00:31:47.160><c> he</c><00:31:47.259><c> was</c><00:31:47.559><c> astonished</c><00:31:48.019><c> at</c><00:31:48.240><c> the</c><00:31:48.400><c> fact,</c>

00:31:48.900 --> 00:31:50.920
he<00:31:48.940><c> was</c><00:31:49.079><c> quick</c><00:31:49.299><c> enough</c><00:31:49.500><c> to</c><00:31:49.660><c> pick</c><00:31:49.799><c> up</c><00:31:49.960><c> the</c><00:31:50.160><c> point</c><00:31:50.480><c> that</c><00:31:50.740><c> the</c>

00:31:50.920 --> 00:31:51.759
thing<00:31:51.099><c> that</c><00:31:51.299><c> endangered</c>

00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:54.160
that<00:31:52.039><c> young</c><00:31:52.240><c> man</c><00:31:52.420><c> in</c><00:31:52.599><c> losing</c><00:31:52.799><c> the</c><00:31:53.039><c> kingdom</c><00:31:53.380><c> was</c><00:31:53.740><c> that</c><00:31:53.859><c> he</c><00:31:54.039><c> hung</c>

00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:54.920
on<00:31:54.279><c> to</c><00:31:54.400><c> his</c><00:31:54.599><c> riches,</c>

00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:57.980
and<00:31:55.299><c> his</c><00:31:55.519><c> mind</c><00:31:55.700><c> said,</c><00:31:56.039><c> I</c><00:31:56.299><c> haven't</c><00:31:56.519><c> done</c><00:31:56.759><c> that,</c>

00:31:58.299 --> 00:32:03.579
and<00:31:58.440><c> therefore</c><00:31:58.799><c> his</c><00:31:59.160><c> what</c><00:31:59.380><c> shall</c><00:31:59.559><c> we</c><00:31:59.740><c> have</c><00:31:59.880><c> therefore</c><00:32:00.579><c> came</c><00:32:01.880><c> out</c><00:32:02.099><c> of</c><00:32:02.220><c> a</c><00:32:02.480><c> comparison</c>

00:32:03.619 --> 00:32:07.839
of<00:32:04.059><c> how</c><00:32:04.240><c> much</c><00:32:04.460><c> better</c><00:32:05.119><c> he</c><00:32:05.880><c> had</c><00:32:06.140><c> been</c><00:32:06.319><c> than</c><00:32:06.480><c> that</c><00:32:06.640><c> rich</c><00:32:06.839><c> young</c><00:32:07.039><c> ruler.</c>

00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:10.519
That's<00:32:08.359><c> another</c><00:32:08.619><c> thing</c><00:32:08.920><c> the</c><00:32:09.059><c> Lord's</c><00:32:09.359><c> going</c><00:32:09.440><c> to</c><00:32:09.559><c> deal</c><00:32:09.680><c> with.</c>

00:32:11.079 --> 00:32:13.019
It's<00:32:11.480><c> very</c><00:32:11.779><c> nice,</c><00:32:12.039><c> isn't</c><00:32:12.259><c> it,</c><00:32:12.440><c> brothers</c><00:32:12.579><c> and</c><00:32:12.799><c> sisters,</c>

00:32:13.019 --> 00:32:16.839
to<00:32:13.259><c> think</c><00:32:13.460><c> about</c><00:32:13.819><c> everybody</c><00:32:14.160><c> else's</c><00:32:14.700><c> sins</c><00:32:14.900><c> and</c><00:32:15.700><c> tick</c><00:32:15.900><c> them</c><00:32:16.039><c> off</c><00:32:16.180><c> one</c><00:32:16.420><c> by</c><00:32:16.660><c> one</c>

00:32:16.839 --> 00:32:19.339
so<00:32:17.000><c> that</c><00:32:17.099><c> we</c><00:32:17.160><c> can</c><00:32:17.339><c> say</c><00:32:17.539><c> many</c><00:32:17.839><c> are</c><00:32:18.099><c> called</c><00:32:18.259><c> but</c><00:32:18.680><c> few</c><00:32:18.900><c> are</c><00:32:19.119><c> chosen.</c>

00:32:19.380 --> 00:32:20.980
Well,<00:32:19.500><c> he</c><00:32:19.640><c> won't</c><00:32:19.900><c> be</c><00:32:20.180><c> chosen,</c><00:32:20.420><c> he</c><00:32:20.640><c> won't.</c>

00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:23.519
And<00:32:21.220><c> we</c><00:32:21.279><c> sort</c><00:32:21.460><c> of,</c><00:32:21.700><c> by</c><00:32:21.960><c> process</c><00:32:22.259><c> of</c><00:32:22.480><c> elimination,</c><00:32:23.140><c> we</c><00:32:23.339><c> leave</c>

00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:25.039
ourselves<00:32:24.019><c> there.</c>

00:32:25.460 --> 00:32:27.539
It's<00:32:25.839><c> always</c><00:32:26.019><c> easy</c><00:32:26.259><c> to</c><00:32:26.440><c> do</c><00:32:26.579><c> that.</c>

00:32:27.700 --> 00:32:30.160
We're<00:32:27.839><c> so</c><00:32:28.039><c> much</c><00:32:28.240><c> better</c><00:32:28.480><c> than</c><00:32:28.640><c> the</c><00:32:28.859><c> others</c><00:32:29.019><c> that</c><00:32:29.140><c> we</c><00:32:29.319><c> consider,</c><00:32:29.799><c> well,</c>

00:32:30.299 --> 00:32:31.660
they're<00:32:30.660><c> a</c><00:32:30.740><c> little</c><00:32:30.839><c> bit</c><00:32:31.099><c> worse</c><00:32:31.299><c> than</c><00:32:31.480><c> us.</c>

00:32:31.720 --> 00:32:35.059
So<00:32:32.119><c> by</c><00:32:32.559><c> that</c><00:32:32.759><c> process</c><00:32:33.119><c> of</c><00:32:33.359><c> elimination,</c><00:32:34.539><c> we're</c><00:32:34.819><c> going</c><00:32:34.880><c> to</c><00:32:34.960><c> be</c>

00:32:35.059 --> 00:32:35.940
in<00:32:35.160><c> the</c><00:32:35.299><c> kingdom</c><00:32:35.460><c> and</c><00:32:35.640><c> they're</c><00:32:35.839><c> not.</c>

00:32:36.059 --> 00:32:38.859
We're<00:32:36.380><c> the</c><00:32:36.559><c> few</c><00:32:36.759><c> and</c><00:32:37.140><c> they're</c><00:32:37.579><c> part</c><00:32:37.799><c> of</c><00:32:37.960><c> the</c><00:32:38.059><c> many.</c>

00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:42.880

00:35:09.420 --> 00:35:11.960
He<00:35:09.519><c> got</c><00:35:09.679><c> up</c><00:35:09.860><c> early</c><00:35:10.280><c> to</c><00:35:10.579><c> send</c><00:35:10.739><c> his</c><00:35:11.039><c> prophets.</c>

00:35:12.539 --> 00:35:15.059

00:35:18.219 --> 00:35:21.719

So<00:35:22.559><c> the</c><00:35:22.739><c> householder</c><00:35:23.659><c> got</c><00:35:23.820><c> up</c><00:35:24.019><c> early,</c><00:35:25.099><c> and</c><00:35:25.400><c> he</c><00:35:25.500><c> wanted</c><00:35:25.739><c> people</c>

00:35:48.480 --> 00:35:49.900
That's<00:35:48.780><c> pretty</c><00:35:49.019><c> serious,</c><00:35:49.460><c> what</c><00:35:49.599><c> you've</c><00:35:49.840><c> done.</c>

00:36:16.539 --> 00:36:19.760
That's<00:36:17.139><c> straight</c><00:36:17.260><c> out</c><00:36:17.400><c> of</c><00:36:17.519><c> Isaiah</c><00:36:17.880><c> 5,</c><00:36:18.280><c> which</c><00:36:18.500><c> says</c><00:36:18.760><c> this.</c>

00:36:30.980 --> 00:36:33.760
So<00:36:31.199><c> you</c><00:36:31.280><c> see,</c><00:36:31.400><c> the</c><00:36:31.559><c> answer</c><00:36:31.960><c> to</c><00:36:32.159><c> the</c><00:36:32.340><c> question</c><00:36:32.679><c> was,</c><00:36:33.300><c> who</c><00:36:33.500><c> gave</c>

00:37:31.900 --> 00:37:35.119

00:37:43.780 --> 00:37:47.920
So<00:37:44.019><c> this</c><00:37:44.300><c> was</c><00:37:44.760><c> a</c><00:37:45.179><c> harmonious</c><00:37:45.960><c> agreement.</c>

00:37:50.880 --> 00:37:54.199

00:37:54.800 --> 00:38:00.119
It<00:37:55.000><c> was</c><00:37:55.219><c> a</c><00:37:55.360><c> legal</c><00:37:55.699><c> contract</c><00:37:56.440><c> where</c><00:37:57.159><c> there</c><00:37:57.360><c> was</c><00:37:57.960><c> mutual</c><00:37:59.219><c> agreement.</c>

Note<00:38:00.940><c> that.</c>

00:38:02.300 --> 00:38:05.480
They<00:38:02.519><c> agreed</c><00:38:03.019><c> harmoniously</c><00:38:03.940><c> with</c><00:38:04.139><c> the</c><00:38:04.320><c> householder,</c><00:38:05.360><c> with</c>

00:38:07.099 --> 00:38:12.960
So<00:38:07.260><c> we've</c><00:38:07.400><c> got</c><00:38:07.519><c> a</c><00:38:07.780><c> legal</c><00:38:08.239><c> contract,</c><00:38:10.500><c> which</c><00:38:10.659><c> is</c><00:38:11.000><c> a</c><00:38:11.320><c> mutual</c><00:38:11.820><c> agreement.</c>

00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:15.760

00:38:23.460 --> 00:38:28.260
Actually,<00:38:25.059><c> denarius</c><00:38:25.199><c> really</c><00:38:25.519><c> means</c><00:38:26.079><c> ten</c><00:38:26.599><c> asses</c><00:38:27.380><c> because</c><00:38:27.940><c> it</c>

00:38:32.159 --> 00:38:35.260
And<00:38:32.280><c> it</c><00:38:32.380><c> was</c><00:38:32.599><c> considered,</c><00:38:33.440><c> brothers</c><00:38:33.579><c> and</c><00:38:33.820><c> sisters,</c><00:38:34.219><c> to</c><00:38:34.400><c> be</c><00:38:35.019><c> a</c>

day's<00:38:35.619><c> pay.</c>

00:38:35.739 --> 00:38:38.539
I<00:38:35.820><c> don't</c><00:38:36.000><c> know</c><00:38:36.119><c> how</c><00:38:36.280><c> that</c><00:38:36.820><c> sort</c><00:38:36.960><c> of</c><00:38:37.559><c> compares</c><00:38:37.880><c> up,</c><00:38:38.280><c> but</c><00:38:38.320><c> that's</c>

00:38:38.539 --> 00:38:39.739
what<00:38:38.760><c> the</c><00:38:38.860><c> word</c><00:38:39.000><c> denarius</c><00:38:39.500><c> meant.</c>

00:38:39.960 --> 00:38:43.960

00:38:44.719 --> 00:38:48.099
Therefore,<00:38:45.260><c> you</c><00:38:45.619><c> see,</c><00:38:46.000><c> and</c><00:38:46.159><c> this</c><00:38:46.360><c> comes</c><00:38:46.599><c> out</c><00:38:46.719><c> in</c><00:38:46.840><c> the</c><00:38:47.059><c> parable,</c><00:38:47.739><c> these</c>

Now,<00:38:50.599><c> that's</c><00:38:50.900><c> important</c><00:38:51.400><c> because,</c><00:38:51.780><c> you</c><00:38:51.960><c> see,</c><00:38:52.699><c> under</c><00:38:52.980><c> the</c><00:38:53.199><c> law</c>

00:43:09.320 --> 00:43:12.039

00:43:12.119 --> 00:43:14.679

00:43:14.679 --> 00:43:14.920
in<00:43:14.800><c> it.</c>

00:43:14.940 --> 00:43:16.119
There's<00:43:15.119><c> only</c><00:43:15.340><c> an</c><00:43:15.559><c> hour</c><00:43:15.679><c> to</c><00:43:15.900><c> go.</c>

00:43:16.360 --> 00:43:19.079
And,<00:43:16.460><c> you</c><00:43:16.559><c> know,</c><00:43:16.739><c> people</c><00:43:17.059><c> say,</c><00:43:17.500><c> they</c><00:43:17.860><c> scoff</c><00:43:18.139><c> at</c><00:43:18.280><c> this</c><00:43:18.460><c> and</c><00:43:18.599><c> they</c><00:43:18.719><c> say,</c><00:43:18.840><c> oh,</c>

look,<00:43:19.380><c> this</c><00:43:19.599><c> is</c><00:43:19.820><c> so</c><00:43:20.039><c> unrealistic.</c>

00:43:20.440 --> 00:43:23.119
But<00:43:20.840><c> you</c><00:43:21.000><c> see,</c><00:43:21.440><c> brothers</c><00:43:21.519><c> and</c><00:43:21.760><c> sisters,</c><00:43:22.239><c> here's</c><00:43:22.539><c> the</c><00:43:22.739><c> point</c>

with<00:43:23.920><c> the</c><00:43:24.139><c> kingdom</c><00:43:24.400><c> of</c><00:43:24.579><c> God.</c>

00:43:26.420 --> 00:43:28.679
It<00:43:26.539><c> doesn't</c><00:43:26.800><c> matter</c><00:43:26.980><c> what</c><00:43:27.260><c> hour</c><00:43:27.400><c> there</c><00:43:27.599><c> is.</c>

00:43:30.019 --> 00:43:32.460
We<00:43:30.260><c> had</c><00:43:30.260><c> Julianne</c><00:43:31.280><c> baptised</c><00:43:31.800><c> the</c><00:43:31.880><c> other</c><00:43:32.079><c> night.</c>

00:43:32.760 --> 00:43:35.300
She<00:43:32.960><c> may</c><00:43:33.179><c> be</c><00:43:33.340><c> the</c><00:43:33.500><c> last</c><00:43:33.699><c> in</c><00:43:33.860><c> this</c><00:43:34.039><c> ecclesia</c><00:43:34.400><c> before</c><00:43:34.739><c> Christ</c><00:43:35.059><c> comes.</c>

00:43:35.340 --> 00:43:36.219
We<00:43:35.500><c> don't</c><00:43:35.760><c> know.</c>

00:43:36.639 --> 00:43:39.559
But<00:43:36.760><c> I'll</c><00:43:36.900><c> tell</c><00:43:37.000><c> you</c><00:43:37.099><c> something,</c><00:43:38.400><c> it</c><00:43:38.559><c> was</c><00:43:38.780><c> urgent</c><00:43:39.119><c> for</c><00:43:39.300><c> her</c><00:43:39.440><c> to</c>

00:43:39.559 --> 00:43:40.719

00:43:40.840 --> 00:43:43.260
Because<00:43:41.119><c> there's</c><00:43:41.380><c> work</c><00:43:41.760><c> still</c><00:43:42.159><c> to</c><00:43:42.280><c> be</c><00:43:42.440><c> done.</c>

00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:46.699
It's<00:43:43.780><c> not</c><00:43:43.920><c> a</c><00:43:44.019><c> question</c><00:43:44.280><c> of</c><00:43:44.719><c> Julianne</c><00:43:45.119><c> saying</c><00:43:45.380><c> to</c><00:43:45.579><c> herself,</c><00:43:46.119><c> oh,</c><00:43:46.340><c> I'm</c><00:43:46.519><c> going</c><00:43:46.619><c> to</c>

00:43:48.119 --> 00:43:49.880
I'm<00:43:48.460><c> just</c><00:43:48.599><c> going</c><00:43:48.840><c> to</c><00:43:49.139><c> coast</c><00:43:49.380><c> into</c><00:43:49.559><c> the</c><00:43:49.739><c> kingdom.</c>

00:43:49.880 --> 00:43:52.219
She<00:43:50.219><c> knows</c><00:43:50.480><c> better</c><00:43:50.679><c> than</c><00:43:50.900><c> that</c><00:43:51.099><c> because</c><00:43:51.400><c> she</c><00:43:51.599><c> knows</c><00:43:51.880><c> that</c><00:43:52.059><c> God</c>

00:43:52.219 --> 00:43:53.880
says,<00:43:52.559><c> listen,</c><00:43:53.039><c> there's</c><00:43:53.159><c> work</c><00:43:53.420><c> to</c><00:43:53.579><c> be</c><00:43:53.739><c> done.</c>

00:43:54.239 --> 00:43:56.860
It's<00:43:54.480><c> nearly</c><00:43:54.619><c> knockoff</c><00:43:55.099><c> time</c><00:43:55.320><c> and</c><00:43:55.500><c> we've</c><00:43:55.860><c> still</c><00:43:56.239><c> got</c><00:43:56.480><c> work</c><00:43:56.679><c> to</c>

00:43:56.860 --> 00:43:57.159
be<00:43:57.019><c> done.</c>

00:43:57.340 --> 00:43:59.480
And<00:43:57.539><c> they</c><00:43:57.639><c> would</c><00:43:57.780><c> have</c><00:43:57.960><c> gone,</c><00:43:58.099><c> I</c><00:43:58.300><c> believe,</c><00:43:58.619><c> into</c><00:43:58.659><c> that</c><00:43:58.900><c> vineyard</c><00:43:59.159><c> with</c><00:43:59.360><c> a</c>

00:43:59.480 --> 00:44:00.739
sense<00:43:59.639><c> of</c><00:43:59.860><c> urgency.</c>

00:44:01.599 --> 00:44:04.179
Because<00:44:01.840><c> that's</c><00:44:02.079><c> the</c><00:44:02.159><c> only</c><00:44:02.320><c> basis</c><00:44:02.659><c> really</c><00:44:03.260><c> in</c><00:44:03.579><c> a</c><00:44:03.760><c> realistic</c>

00:44:04.179 --> 00:44:06.679
fashion<00:44:04.500><c> that</c><00:44:04.659><c> anybody</c><00:44:04.980><c> would</c><00:44:05.239><c> hire</c><00:44:05.480><c> them</c><00:44:05.619><c> at</c><00:44:05.780><c> that</c><00:44:05.960><c> hour.</c>

00:44:06.980 --> 00:44:08.699
So<00:44:07.119><c> the</c><00:44:07.340><c> parable</c><00:44:07.539><c> is</c><00:44:07.760><c> not</c><00:44:08.000><c> fantastic.</c>

00:44:09.159 --> 00:44:11.719
I<00:44:09.420><c> believe</c><00:44:09.579><c> it's</c><00:44:09.739><c> dealing</c><00:44:09.920><c> with</c><00:44:10.239><c> realities</c><00:44:10.579><c> in</c><00:44:10.900><c> life.</c>

00:44:12.019 --> 00:44:13.980
It's<00:44:12.420><c> urgent</c><00:44:12.800><c> that</c><00:44:12.980><c> a</c><00:44:13.159><c> job</c><00:44:13.300><c> be</c><00:44:13.559><c> done.</c>

00:44:13.980 --> 00:44:16.440
You<00:44:14.559><c> might</c><00:44:14.860><c> need</c><00:44:15.179><c> people</c><00:44:15.420><c> at</c><00:44:15.519><c> the</c><00:44:15.659><c> very</c><00:44:15.920><c> last</c><00:44:16.280><c> hour.</c>

00:44:16.599 --> 00:44:20.159
You<00:44:16.599><c> have</c><00:44:16.820><c> pressed</c><00:44:17.179><c> them</c><00:44:17.360><c> into</c><00:44:17.579><c> service</c><00:44:18.099><c> to</c><00:44:18.480><c> get</c><00:44:18.699><c> the</c><00:44:18.900><c> job</c><00:44:19.199><c> completed.</c>

00:44:20.920 --> 00:44:24.420
And<00:44:21.019><c> so</c><00:44:21.119><c> that</c><00:44:21.280><c> there's</c><00:44:21.480><c> no</c><00:44:22.099><c> sense</c><00:44:22.519><c> we</c><00:44:22.719><c> can</c><00:44:22.880><c> say,</c><00:44:23.239><c> well,</c><00:44:23.460><c> anybody</c><00:44:23.980><c> is</c><00:44:24.199><c> not</c>

00:44:26.320 --> 00:44:28.820
And<00:44:26.440><c> why</c><00:44:26.679><c> were</c><00:44:26.800><c> they</c><00:44:27.000><c> standing</c><00:44:27.219><c> idle</c><00:44:27.559><c> in</c><00:44:27.719><c> the</c><00:44:27.960><c> marketplace?</c>

00:44:29.239 --> 00:44:31.159

Jesus<00:47:14.719><c> Christ.</c>

00:47:15.159 --> 00:47:19.280
We<00:47:15.400><c> ought</c><00:47:15.659><c> to</c><00:47:16.239><c> launch</c><00:47:16.639><c> into</c><00:47:16.840><c> the</c><00:47:17.039><c> work</c><00:47:17.219><c> of</c><00:47:17.500><c> God</c><00:47:17.880><c> with</c><00:47:18.539><c> an</c><00:47:18.760><c> urgency</c>

00:47:19.280 --> 00:47:22.340
and<00:47:19.639><c> be</c><00:47:20.059><c> grateful</c><00:47:20.480><c> that</c><00:47:20.659><c> we</c><00:47:20.780><c> can</c><00:47:20.920><c> even</c><00:47:21.179><c> do</c><00:47:21.360><c> it</c><00:47:21.480><c> for</c><00:47:21.679><c> him</c><00:47:21.960><c> now,</c>

00:47:22.539 --> 00:47:25.159
not<00:47:22.659><c> even</c><00:47:22.940><c> thinking,</c><00:47:23.440><c> perhaps,</c><00:47:24.019><c> what</c><00:47:24.239><c> might</c><00:47:24.420><c> be</c><00:47:24.579><c> in</c><00:47:24.679><c> the</c><00:47:24.860><c> future.</c>

00:47:25.420 --> 00:47:27.500
Though,<00:47:25.579><c> of</c><00:47:25.760><c> course,</c><00:47:26.219><c> we've</c><00:47:26.579><c> got</c><00:47:26.719><c> to</c><00:47:26.840><c> do</c><00:47:26.960><c> that</c><00:47:27.139><c> in</c><00:47:27.300><c> a</c><00:47:27.380><c> sense</c>

00:47:27.500 --> 00:47:28.699
because<00:47:27.639><c> that's</c><00:47:27.900><c> what</c><00:47:28.119><c> faith's</c><00:47:28.539><c> about.</c>

00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:30.559
But<00:47:29.019><c> we</c><00:47:29.139><c> didn't</c><00:47:29.320><c> want</c><00:47:29.460><c> to</c><00:47:29.579><c> put</c><00:47:29.920><c> store</c><00:47:30.219><c> in</c><00:47:30.420><c> that.</c>

00:47:30.699 --> 00:47:34.039
We<00:47:30.800><c> ought</c><00:47:30.960><c> to</c><00:47:31.059><c> see</c><00:47:31.179><c> it</c><00:47:31.539><c> is</c><00:47:31.800><c> a</c><00:47:32.139><c> privilege</c><00:47:32.559><c> to</c><00:47:32.820><c> work</c><00:47:32.960><c> for</c><00:47:33.260><c> God.</c>

00:47:34.260 --> 00:47:37.199
Wonderful<00:47:34.659><c> thing</c><00:47:35.000><c> to</c><00:47:35.179><c> be</c><00:47:35.400><c> associated</c><00:47:35.840><c> in</c><00:47:36.260><c> the</c><00:47:36.420><c> work</c><00:47:36.539><c> of</c><00:47:36.699><c> the</c><00:47:36.940><c> truth.</c>

00:47:37.500 --> 00:47:39.440
And<00:47:37.599><c> they</c><00:47:37.760><c> went</c><00:47:37.920><c> off,</c><00:47:38.400><c> brothers</c><00:47:38.539><c> and</c><00:47:38.739><c> sisters,</c><00:47:39.000><c> without</c><00:47:39.199><c> even</c>

00:47:39.440 --> 00:47:40.940
so<00:47:39.599><c> much</c><00:47:39.739><c> as</c><00:47:39.940><c> a</c><00:47:40.099><c> promise.</c>

00:47:41.500 --> 00:47:45.320
So<00:47:41.679><c> there</c><00:47:41.760><c> were</c><00:47:41.960><c> three</c><00:47:42.340><c> really</c><00:47:42.639><c> distinct</c><00:47:43.039><c> classes</c><00:47:43.519><c> in</c><00:47:44.039><c> this</c><00:47:44.300><c> parable.</c>

00:47:46.079 --> 00:47:50.760
For<00:47:46.639><c> the</c><00:47:46.800><c> day</c><00:47:46.980><c> ends,</c><00:47:47.239><c> in</c><00:47:47.440><c> verse</c><00:47:47.659><c> 8,</c><00:47:49.800><c> and</c><00:47:50.019><c> the</c><00:47:50.199><c> day</c><00:47:50.420><c> labourer's</c>

00:47:50.760 --> 00:47:52.119

00:47:53.119 --> 00:47:56.280
By<00:47:53.300><c> the</c><00:47:53.440><c> way,</c><00:47:53.500><c> it's</c><00:47:53.699><c> interesting</c><00:47:54.119><c> that</c><00:47:54.440><c> if</c><00:47:54.639><c> you</c><00:47:54.980><c> look</c><00:47:55.380><c> some</c><00:47:55.719><c> time,</c><00:47:55.940><c> don't</c><00:47:56.139><c> do</c>

00:47:56.280 --> 00:47:56.579
it<00:47:56.400><c> now,</c>

00:47:56.619 --> 00:47:59.579
but<00:47:56.860><c> in</c><00:47:57.199><c> James,</c><00:47:57.659><c> chapter</c><00:47:57.900><c> 5,</c><00:47:58.340><c> and</c><00:47:58.500><c> verse</c><00:47:58.780><c> 4,</c>

00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:02.460
you'll<00:48:00.360><c> find</c><00:48:00.539><c> that</c><00:48:00.760><c> the</c><00:48:01.019><c> contract</c><00:48:01.500><c> labourers,</c><00:48:01.880><c> the</c><00:48:02.119><c> Jews,</c>

00:48:07.320 --> 00:48:08.539
That's<00:48:07.639><c> what</c><00:48:07.840><c> James</c><00:48:08.179><c> said.</c>

00:48:08.539 --> 00:48:12.360
They<00:48:09.260><c> kept</c><00:48:09.659><c> back</c><00:48:10.139><c> by</c><00:48:10.500><c> fraud</c><00:48:10.960><c> that</c><00:48:11.159><c> which</c><00:48:11.340><c> the</c><00:48:11.559><c> day</c><00:48:11.760><c> labourer,</c>

00:48:12.440 --> 00:48:17.280

00:48:17.480 --> 00:48:19.079

00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:22.840
these<00:48:19.880><c> people</c><00:48:20.360><c> who</c><00:48:20.679><c> were</c><00:48:20.860><c> complaining</c><00:48:21.440><c> weren't</c><00:48:22.099><c> paying</c><00:48:22.579><c> the</c>

day<00:48:23.159><c> labourers.</c>

00:48:24.480 --> 00:48:26.199
But<00:48:24.639><c> this</c><00:48:24.880><c> householder</c><00:48:25.420><c> does.</c>

00:48:26.980 --> 00:48:30.719
He<00:48:27.179><c> never</c><00:48:27.480><c> fails,</c><00:48:27.940><c> brothers</c><00:48:28.179><c> and</c><00:48:28.420><c> sisters,</c><00:48:29.219><c> never</c><00:48:29.579><c> fails.</c>

00:48:30.940 --> 00:48:33.940
And<00:48:31.079><c> so</c><00:48:31.179><c> we</c><00:48:31.340><c> read,</c><00:48:33.099><c> he</c><00:48:33.219><c> tells</c><00:48:33.360><c> his</c><00:48:33.639><c> steward,</c>

00:48:33.940 --> 00:48:37.019
Go<00:48:34.260><c> on</c><00:48:34.420><c> out,</c><00:48:34.579><c> go</c><00:48:34.719><c> out,</c><00:48:35.039><c> and</c><00:48:35.179><c> call</c><00:48:35.360><c> the</c><00:48:35.599><c> labourers,</c><00:48:36.820><c> and</c><00:48:36.900><c> give</c>

00:48:37.019 --> 00:48:38.559
them<00:48:37.199><c> their</c><00:48:37.420><c> hire,</c>

00:48:39.280 --> 00:48:43.260
beginning<00:48:39.619><c> from</c><00:48:39.980><c> the</c><00:48:40.159><c> last,</c><00:48:41.800><c> under</c><00:48:42.059><c> the</c><00:48:42.320><c> first.</c>

00:48:44.679 --> 00:48:47.219
Now<00:48:44.820><c> that's</c><00:48:45.059><c> the</c><00:48:45.179><c> reverse</c><00:48:45.480><c> order,</c><00:48:45.940><c> brothers</c><00:48:46.099><c> and</c><00:48:46.260><c> sisters.</c>

00:48:48.539 --> 00:48:51.139
But<00:48:48.719><c> you</c><00:48:48.940><c> see,</c><00:48:49.739><c> the</c><00:48:49.760><c> thing</c><00:48:49.940><c> is</c><00:48:50.159><c> this.</c>

00:48:52.199 --> 00:48:53.840
Why<00:48:52.460><c> would</c><00:48:52.599><c> he</c><00:48:52.699><c> do</c><00:48:52.880><c> that?</c>

00:48:54.599 --> 00:48:56.780
Well,<00:48:54.800><c> that's</c><00:48:55.059><c> the</c><00:48:55.219><c> thrust</c><00:48:55.380><c> of</c><00:48:55.559><c> the</c><00:48:55.719><c> parable,</c><00:48:56.019><c> verse</c><00:48:56.219><c> 16.</c>

00:48:57.099 --> 00:48:58.900
So<00:48:57.219><c> the</c><00:48:57.360><c> last</c><00:48:57.579><c> shall</c><00:48:57.860><c> be</c><00:48:58.099><c> first.</c>

00:48:59.139 --> 00:49:00.900
So<00:48:59.340><c> it's</c><00:48:59.440><c> done</c><00:48:59.719><c> primarily</c><00:49:00.260><c> for</c><00:49:00.480><c> that</c><00:49:00.679><c> reason.</c>

00:49:00.900 --> 00:49:03.480
But<00:49:01.300><c> it's</c><00:49:01.539><c> also</c><00:49:01.820><c> done</c><00:49:02.079><c> for</c><00:49:02.280><c> this</c><00:49:02.519><c> reason,</c><00:49:02.960><c> brothers</c><00:49:03.059><c> and</c><00:49:03.260><c> sisters,</c>

00:49:03.500 --> 00:49:07.500
that<00:49:03.880><c> it</c><00:49:04.519><c> was</c><00:49:04.739><c> going</c><00:49:04.900><c> to</c><00:49:05.159><c> reveal</c><00:49:05.519><c> the</c><00:49:05.860><c> character</c><00:49:06.360><c> of</c><00:49:06.820><c> the</c>

contract<00:49:07.980><c> labourer.</c>

00:49:09.420 --> 00:49:10.860
And<00:49:09.619><c> who</c><00:49:09.760><c> was</c><00:49:10.019><c> he?</c>

00:49:11.119 --> 00:49:13.159
Well,<00:49:11.320><c> I'll</c><00:49:11.500><c> tell</c><00:49:11.599><c> you</c><00:49:11.699><c> who</c><00:49:11.840><c> he</c><00:49:12.039><c> was.</c>

00:49:14.059 --> 00:49:15.260
Dear<00:49:14.219><c> old</c><00:49:14.440><c> Peter.</c>

00:49:16.019 --> 00:49:17.980
Now<00:49:16.199><c> I</c><00:49:16.559><c> want</c><00:49:16.699><c> you</c><00:49:16.860><c> to</c><00:49:16.980><c> notice</c><00:49:17.119><c> something</c><00:49:17.320><c> in</c><00:49:17.480><c> this</c><00:49:17.699><c> parable.</c>

00:49:18.219 --> 00:49:20.179
A<00:49:18.219><c> careful</c><00:49:18.579><c> reader</c><00:49:18.820><c> will</c><00:49:19.000><c> notice</c><00:49:19.260><c> this.</c>

00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:22.400
I'm<00:49:21.119><c> not</c><00:49:21.280><c> saying</c><00:49:21.420><c> Peter's</c><00:49:21.820><c> the</c><00:49:21.940><c> only</c><00:49:22.119><c> one,</c>

00:49:22.659 --> 00:49:24.920
but<00:49:22.840><c> poor</c><00:49:22.980><c> old</c><00:49:23.159><c> Peter</c><00:49:23.480><c> had</c><00:49:23.679><c> put</c><00:49:23.820><c> himself</c><00:49:24.000><c> in</c><00:49:24.119><c> that</c><00:49:24.300><c> situation.</c>

00:49:25.239 --> 00:49:26.559

Now<00:49:32.500><c> you</c><00:49:32.619><c> listen.</c>

00:49:33.440 --> 00:49:38.559
The<00:49:33.920><c> wonderful</c><00:49:34.400><c> way</c><00:49:34.619><c> this</c><00:49:34.800><c> is</c><00:49:35.079><c> put,</c><00:49:36.599><c> you</c><00:49:36.820><c> see,</c><00:49:37.159><c> in</c><00:49:37.320><c> verse</c><00:49:37.539><c> 10,</c>

00:49:38.920 --> 00:49:40.059

00:49:40.519 --> 00:49:44.159
they<00:49:40.780><c> supposed</c><00:49:41.659><c> that</c><00:49:42.460><c> they</c><00:49:42.780><c> should</c><00:49:43.019><c> have</c><00:49:43.260><c> received</c><00:49:43.719><c> more.</c>

00:49:44.400 --> 00:49:47.059
And<00:49:44.619><c> I</c><00:49:44.920><c> believe</c><00:49:45.119><c> that's</c><00:49:45.579><c> precisely</c><00:49:46.099><c> what</c><00:49:46.400><c> Peter</c><00:49:46.639><c> had</c><00:49:46.900><c> done.</c>

00:49:47.559 --> 00:49:49.239
When<00:49:47.739><c> that</c><00:49:47.960><c> young</c><00:49:48.159><c> man</c><00:49:48.519><c> walked</c><00:49:48.840><c> away,</c>

00:49:49.460 --> 00:49:52.179
and<00:49:49.460><c> he</c><00:49:50.460><c> got</c><00:49:50.739><c> over</c><00:49:50.940><c> his</c><00:49:51.239><c> astonishment</c><00:49:51.639><c> initially</c>

00:49:52.179 --> 00:49:54.679
of<00:49:52.739><c> how</c><00:49:53.000><c> he</c><00:49:53.320><c> thought</c><00:49:53.539><c> that</c><00:49:53.739><c> rich</c><00:49:53.900><c> men</c><00:49:54.019><c> would</c><00:49:54.219><c> be</c><00:49:54.300><c> in</c><00:49:54.400><c> the</c><00:49:54.559><c> kingdom,</c>

00:49:54.679 --> 00:49:55.619
because<00:49:54.800><c> it</c><00:49:54.840><c> was</c><00:49:55.019><c> God's</c><00:49:55.380><c> blessing,</c>

00:49:55.840 --> 00:49:58.800

00:49:59.039 --> 00:50:00.340
then<00:49:59.179><c> he</c><00:49:59.340><c> thought,</c><00:49:59.539><c> I</c><00:49:59.699><c> know</c><00:49:59.840><c> what</c><00:49:59.900><c> he's</c><00:50:00.039><c> getting</c><00:50:00.199><c> at.</c>

00:50:00.760 --> 00:50:01.599
The<00:50:00.920><c> riches</c><00:50:01.119><c> are</c><00:50:01.260><c> the</c><00:50:01.380><c> problem.</c>

00:50:02.099 --> 00:50:04.679
Well,<00:50:03.360><c> I</c><00:50:03.739><c> haven't</c><00:50:03.940><c> hung</c><00:50:04.119><c> on</c><00:50:04.260><c> to</c><00:50:04.340><c> my</c><00:50:04.420><c> riches.</c>

00:50:04.920 --> 00:50:05.880

He<00:50:06.500><c> supposed</c><00:50:07.440><c> that</c><00:50:09.199><c> he</c><00:50:09.340><c> would</c><00:50:09.559><c> receive</c><00:50:09.960><c> more.</c>

00:50:11.619 --> 00:50:12.559
See?

00:50:12.860 --> 00:50:14.260
But<00:50:13.000><c> they</c><00:50:13.159><c> didn't.</c>

00:50:20.539 --> 00:50:21.300
who<00:50:20.760><c> were</c><00:50:20.960><c> they?</c>

00:50:21.300 --> 00:50:23.480
These<00:50:21.880><c> are</c><00:50:22.079><c> the</c><00:50:22.239><c> day</c><00:50:22.539><c> laborers,</c>

00:50:28.059 --> 00:50:30.639

00:52:51.159 --> 00:52:53.059

00:52:53.079 --> 00:52:53.860
Why<00:52:53.300><c> aren't</c><00:52:53.500><c> they?</c>

00:52:53.860 --> 00:52:56.599
Because<00:52:54.179><c> they</c><00:52:54.380><c> were</c><00:52:54.519><c> those</c><00:52:54.820><c> people</c><00:52:55.019><c> that</c><00:52:55.199><c> just</c><00:52:55.380><c> simply</c><00:52:55.760><c> trusted</c><00:52:56.260><c> God</c>

00:52:58.840 --> 00:53:00.679
It<00:52:58.980><c> was</c><00:52:59.219><c> up</c><00:52:59.500><c> to</c><00:52:59.760><c> him.</c>

00:53:01.119 --> 00:53:03.880
And<00:53:01.340><c> because</c><00:53:01.659><c> they</c><00:53:01.980><c> initially</c><00:53:02.380><c> had</c><00:53:02.619><c> that</c><00:53:02.940><c> trust</c><00:53:03.219><c> in</c><00:53:03.440><c> God,</c>

00:53:04.079 --> 00:53:05.900

they<00:53:06.280><c> never</c><00:53:06.639><c> saw</c><00:53:06.860><c> anything</c><00:53:07.099><c> in</c><00:53:07.340><c> that.</c>

00:53:07.820 --> 00:53:09.699
They<00:53:08.000><c> didn't</c><00:53:08.239><c> see</c><00:53:08.440><c> any</c><00:53:08.699><c> injustice.</c>

00:53:09.820 --> 00:53:12.800

00:53:12.800 --> 00:53:13.139
to<00:53:12.980><c> them.</c>

00:53:13.360 --> 00:53:14.539
They<00:53:13.519><c> were</c><00:53:13.699><c> just</c><00:53:13.880><c> so</c><00:53:14.159><c> grateful</c>

00:53:14.539 --> 00:53:16.559
to<00:53:15.000><c> be</c><00:53:15.300><c> paid</c><00:53:15.599><c> the</c><00:53:15.820><c> same</c><00:53:15.940><c> as</c><00:53:16.019><c> everybody</c><00:53:16.340><c> else.</c>

00:53:16.780 --> 00:53:18.000
They<00:53:17.159><c> didn't</c><00:53:17.539><c> complain.</c>

00:53:18.159 --> 00:53:21.480
It<00:53:18.320><c> was</c><00:53:18.500><c> only</c><00:53:18.860><c> the</c><00:53:19.219><c> contract</c><00:53:19.840><c> labourers</c><00:53:20.280><c> who</c><00:53:20.460><c> complained.</c>

00:53:21.800 --> 00:53:24.059
Now,<00:53:22.019><c> here</c><00:53:22.280><c> comes,</c><00:53:22.940><c> brothers</c><00:53:23.039><c> and</c><00:53:23.260><c> sisters,</c>

00:53:24.159 --> 00:53:25.679
the<00:53:24.360><c> thrust</c><00:53:24.539><c> for</c><00:53:24.780><c> Peter.</c>

00:53:34.280 --> 00:53:37.940
Well,<00:53:34.920><c> Peter</c><00:53:34.980><c> had</c><00:53:35.320><c> made</c><00:53:36.039><c> himself</c><00:53:37.179><c> unequal.</c>

What<00:53:41.699><c> are</c><00:53:41.800><c> we</c><00:53:41.940><c> going</c><00:53:42.059><c> to</c><00:53:42.159><c> have?</c>

00:53:42.300 --> 00:53:43.860
He<00:53:42.500><c> can't</c><00:53:42.760><c> have</c><00:53:42.840><c> it</c><00:53:42.940><c> because</c><00:53:43.179><c> he's</c><00:53:43.480><c> missed</c><00:53:43.699><c> out.</c>

00:53:43.880 --> 00:53:44.639
But<00:53:44.039><c> we've</c><00:53:44.340><c> left</c><00:53:44.460><c> everything.</c>

We<00:53:44.780><c> haven't</c><00:53:44.960><c> done</c><00:53:45.059><c> what</c><00:53:45.139><c> he's</c><00:53:45.340><c> done.</c>

00:53:46.739 --> 00:53:48.880

00:56:06.179 --> 00:56:07.559
We<00:56:06.659><c> have</c><00:56:06.980><c> left</c><00:56:07.320><c> all.</c>

Oh,<00:56:10.800><c> boy.</c>

00:56:11.739 --> 00:56:13.800
I<00:56:11.940><c> believe</c><00:56:12.159><c> that</c><00:56:12.400><c> Peter</c><00:56:12.539><c> would</c><00:56:12.659><c> have</c><00:56:12.760><c> went</c><00:56:12.880><c> red</c><00:56:13.039><c> to</c><00:56:13.219><c> the</c><00:56:13.380><c> gills</c>

00:56:17.199 --> 00:56:19.300
I<00:56:17.380><c> believe</c><00:56:17.559><c> later</c><00:56:17.800><c> on</c><00:56:17.960><c> he</c><00:56:18.059><c> wouldn't.</c>

00:56:19.599 --> 00:56:21.480
And<00:56:19.780><c> he</c><00:56:19.940><c> saw</c><00:56:20.059><c> himself</c><00:56:20.460><c> there,</c><00:56:20.860><c> brothers</c><00:56:20.940><c> and</c><00:56:21.179><c> sisters,</c>

00:56:21.480 --> 00:56:24.880

00:56:25.119 --> 00:56:27.300
Poor<00:56:25.179><c> old</c><00:56:25.320><c> Peter,</c><00:56:25.539><c> of</c><00:56:25.699><c> course,</c><00:56:25.940><c> was</c><00:56:26.079><c> not</c><00:56:26.360><c> really</c><00:56:26.639><c> like</c><00:56:26.980><c> that.</c>

00:56:27.659 --> 00:56:28.599
But<00:56:27.800><c> he</c><00:56:27.840><c> had</c><00:56:28.019><c> to</c><00:56:28.159><c> learn,</c><00:56:28.400><c> didn't</c><00:56:28.579><c> he?</c>

00:56:28.599 --> 00:56:30.860
He<00:56:28.679><c> was</c><00:56:28.860><c> brought</c><00:56:29.039><c> up</c><00:56:29.360><c> with</c><00:56:29.559><c> that</c><00:56:30.019><c> attitude.</c>

00:56:31.440 --> 00:56:33.400
He's<00:56:31.579><c> got</c><00:56:31.659><c> to</c><00:56:31.699><c> learn</c><00:56:31.880><c> the</c><00:56:32.179><c> hard</c><00:56:32.500><c> way.</c>

00:56:34.099 --> 00:56:35.840
And<00:56:34.260><c> when</c><00:56:34.380><c> the</c><00:56:34.519><c> Lord</c><00:56:34.679><c> singled</c><00:56:35.079><c> out</c><00:56:35.320><c> that</c><00:56:35.519><c> one,</c>

00:56:36.139 --> 00:56:38.519
oh,<00:56:36.360><c> my</c><00:56:36.579><c> word,</c><00:56:36.920><c> that</c><00:56:37.119><c> would</c><00:56:37.219><c> have</c><00:56:37.280><c> been</c><00:56:37.340><c> very</c><00:56:37.599><c> difficult.</c>

00:56:39.460 --> 00:56:40.300
And<00:56:39.659><c> the</c><00:56:39.800><c> Lord</c><00:56:39.940><c> says,</c>

00:56:40.440 --> 00:56:42.960
Look,<00:56:41.199><c> I've</c><00:56:41.420><c> done</c><00:56:41.480><c> you</c><00:56:41.679><c> no</c><00:56:41.900><c> wrong</c><00:56:42.119><c> in</c><00:56:42.420><c> verse</c><00:56:42.639><c> 13.</c>

00:56:43.159 --> 00:56:44.920
We<00:56:43.420><c> agreed</c><00:56:43.659><c> for</c><00:56:43.900><c> this.</c>

00:56:45.820 --> 00:56:47.139
So<00:56:46.300><c> he</c><00:56:46.420><c> says,</c>

00:56:48.679 --> 00:56:51.619
Take<00:56:49.159><c> that</c><00:56:49.639><c> thine</c><00:56:50.179><c> is.</c>

Thine<00:56:52.300><c> is.</c>

00:56:53.639 --> 00:56:55.659
What<00:56:53.980><c> belongs</c><00:56:54.400><c> to</c><00:56:54.619><c> them,</c><00:56:54.960><c> brothers</c><00:56:55.099><c> and</c><00:56:55.380><c> sisters?</c>

00:56:56.039 --> 00:56:57.280
Well,<00:56:56.239><c> I</c><00:56:56.380><c> think</c><00:56:56.519><c> you</c><00:56:56.719><c> can</c><00:56:56.900><c> say,</c>

00:56:57.659 --> 00:56:59.659
in<00:56:57.940><c> the</c><00:56:58.139><c> context</c><00:56:58.400><c> of</c><00:56:58.579><c> the</c><00:56:58.820><c> parable,</c>

00:56:59.760 --> 00:57:00.699
it's<00:56:59.860><c> what</c><00:57:00.039><c> Paul</c><00:57:00.360><c> says.</c>

00:57:01.179 --> 00:57:01.980
He<00:57:01.340><c> said,</c>

00:57:02.320 --> 00:57:04.619
I<00:57:02.800><c> want</c><00:57:03.000><c> to</c><00:57:03.179><c> attain</c><00:57:03.360><c> to</c><00:57:03.519><c> the</c><00:57:03.679><c> resurrection</c><00:57:04.079><c> of</c><00:57:04.260><c> the</c><00:57:04.420><c> dead.</c>

00:57:04.679 --> 00:57:04.880
He<00:57:04.719><c> said,</c>

00:57:04.980 --> 00:57:07.300
I<00:57:05.099><c> want</c><00:57:05.280><c> to</c><00:57:05.460><c> attain</c><00:57:05.639><c> to</c><00:57:05.780><c> the</c><00:57:05.980><c> kingdom</c><00:57:06.219><c> of</c><00:57:06.500><c> God,</c>

00:57:07.780 --> 00:57:11.940
not<00:57:08.260><c> having</c><00:57:08.739><c> my</c><00:57:09.780><c> own</c><00:57:10.739><c> righteousness.</c>

00:57:12.179 --> 00:57:14.900
Take<00:57:12.619><c> that</c><00:57:13.059><c> thine</c><00:57:13.820><c> is.</c>

00:57:16.000 --> 00:57:18.320
And<00:57:16.079><c> so,</c><00:57:16.539><c> according</c><00:57:16.579><c> to</c><00:57:16.739><c> the</c><00:57:16.940><c> law,</c><00:57:17.519><c> as</c><00:57:17.719><c> a</c><00:57:17.920><c> Pharisee,</c>

00:57:18.380 --> 00:57:20.159
Paul<00:57:18.599><c> had</c><00:57:18.960><c> something,</c><00:57:19.340><c> according</c><00:57:19.699><c> to</c><00:57:19.940><c> them,</c>

00:57:20.420 --> 00:57:23.380
and<00:57:20.619><c> he</c><00:57:20.800><c> called</c><00:57:20.920><c> it</c><00:57:21.159><c> not</c><00:57:21.380><c> having</c><00:57:21.719><c> my</c><00:57:22.780><c> righteousness.</c>

00:57:23.780 --> 00:57:24.139
The<00:57:23.900><c> Lord</c><00:57:24.019><c> says,</c>

00:57:24.199 --> 00:57:25.900
You<00:57:24.199><c> can</c><00:57:24.360><c> have</c><00:57:24.539><c> that,</c><00:57:24.760><c> you</c><00:57:24.840><c> can</c><00:57:25.059><c> take</c><00:57:25.340><c> that.</c>

00:57:26.380 --> 00:57:27.420
That's<00:57:26.539><c> what</c><00:57:26.599><c> you</c><00:57:26.800><c> agreed</c><00:57:26.980><c> to</c><00:57:27.219><c> do.</c>

00:57:27.579 --> 00:57:28.679
There<00:57:27.780><c> it</c><00:57:27.960><c> is.</c>

00:57:28.780 --> 00:57:29.840
Like,<00:57:28.980><c> you</c><00:57:29.179><c> know,</c><00:57:29.260><c> the</c><00:57:29.440><c> law.</c>

00:57:30.320 --> 00:57:30.659
It<00:57:30.320><c> says,</c>

00:57:31.099 --> 00:57:33.840
They<00:57:31.340><c> that</c><00:57:31.579><c> do</c><00:57:31.760><c> those</c><00:57:32.039><c> things</c><00:57:32.260><c> shall</c><00:57:32.519><c> live</c><00:57:32.980><c> in</c><00:57:33.480><c> them.</c>

00:57:34.139 --> 00:57:35.800
That's<00:57:34.440><c> Leviticus</c><00:57:34.719><c> 18,</c><00:57:35.139><c> verse</c><00:57:35.360><c> 5,</c>

00:57:35.880 --> 00:57:38.079
quoted<00:57:36.079><c> in</c><00:57:36.320><c> Romans</c><00:57:36.519><c> 10</c><00:57:36.860><c> and</c><00:57:37.019><c> other</c><00:57:37.199><c> places.</c>

00:57:38.119 --> 00:57:40.440
So<00:57:38.179><c> the</c><00:57:38.340><c> Apostle's</c><00:57:38.940><c> saying</c><00:57:39.079><c> that</c><00:57:39.460><c> when</c><00:57:39.659><c> you</c><00:57:39.940><c> agree</c>

00:57:40.440 --> 00:57:41.260
to<00:57:40.639><c> say</c><00:57:40.880><c> to</c><00:57:41.039><c> God,</c>

00:57:41.500 --> 00:57:42.880
I<00:57:41.780><c> will</c><00:57:42.079><c> do</c><00:57:42.280><c> this</c><00:57:42.480><c> under</c><00:57:42.659><c> the</c><00:57:42.800><c> law,</c>

00:57:43.000 --> 00:57:44.059
I<00:57:43.059><c> will</c><00:57:43.300><c> accept</c><00:57:43.599><c> the</c><00:57:43.820><c> law,</c>

00:57:44.400 --> 00:57:44.880
circumcision,

00:57:45.039 --> 00:57:46.420
I'm<00:57:45.280><c> indebted</c><00:57:45.539><c> to</c><00:57:45.760><c> the</c><00:57:45.900><c> whole</c><00:57:46.159><c> law,</c>

00:57:46.599 --> 00:57:47.340
God<00:57:46.800><c> says,</c><00:57:47.099><c> right.</c>

00:57:47.519 --> 00:57:49.139
You<00:57:47.800><c> do</c><00:57:47.980><c> it,</c><00:57:48.139><c> and</c><00:57:48.260><c> what</c><00:57:48.320><c> do</c><00:57:48.400><c> you</c><00:57:48.539><c> get?</c>

00:57:49.260 --> 00:57:51.719
Exactly<00:57:49.699><c> what</c><00:57:49.980><c> the</c><00:57:50.199><c> law</c><00:57:50.360><c> promised</c><00:57:50.739><c> you.</c>

00:57:52.000 --> 00:57:53.380
Prosperity<00:57:52.440><c> now,</c>

00:57:53.980 --> 00:57:56.019
temporary<00:57:54.199><c> inheritance</c><00:57:54.619><c> in</c><00:57:54.960><c> the</c><00:57:55.159><c> land,</c>

00:57:56.159 --> 00:57:58.179
but<00:57:56.260><c> never</c><00:57:56.480><c> promised</c><00:57:56.780><c> eternal</c><00:57:57.079><c> life.</c>

00:57:59.679 --> 00:58:00.739
Take<00:58:00.119><c> thine</c><00:58:00.559><c> is.</c>

00:58:00.900 --> 00:58:02.659
But<00:58:01.000><c> they</c><00:58:01.119><c> couldn't</c><00:58:01.300><c> even</c><00:58:01.559><c> keep</c><00:58:01.679><c> the</c><00:58:01.900><c> law.</c>

00:58:04.099 --> 00:58:05.579
So<00:58:04.400><c> he</c><00:58:04.579><c> got</c><00:58:04.699><c> nothing,</c><00:58:05.000><c> really,</c>

00:58:06.000 --> 00:58:07.219
when<00:58:06.099><c> you</c><00:58:06.199><c> think</c><00:58:06.380><c> about</c><00:58:06.599><c> it.</c>

00:58:07.219 --> 00:58:08.400
And<00:58:07.820><c> when</c><00:58:07.980><c> it</c><00:58:08.179><c> says,</c>

00:58:08.739 --> 00:58:10.019
Go<00:58:08.739><c> thy</c><00:58:09.000><c> way,</c>

00:58:11.300 --> 00:58:14.219
the<00:58:11.440><c> Greek</c><00:58:11.679><c> is</c><00:58:12.260><c> rather</c><00:58:12.519><c> stronger</c><00:58:12.900><c> than</c><00:58:13.119><c> that.</c>

00:58:14.519 --> 00:58:16.159
The<00:58:14.719><c> RSV</c><00:58:15.380><c> picks</c><00:58:15.639><c> it</c><00:58:15.820><c> up,</c>

00:58:16.559 --> 00:58:18.340
and<00:58:16.639><c> Jesus</c><00:58:16.840><c> uses</c><00:58:17.099><c> two</c><00:58:17.380><c> words.</c>

00:58:18.480 --> 00:58:21.519
Take<00:58:18.860><c> the</c><00:58:19.139><c> thine</c><00:58:19.400><c> is</c><00:58:19.719><c> and</c><00:58:20.480><c> go.</c>

00:58:22.619 --> 00:58:24.800
We<00:58:22.960><c> would</c><00:58:23.460><c> say,</c><00:58:24.079><c> brothers</c><00:58:24.139><c> and</c><00:58:24.400><c> sisters,</c>

00:58:25.239 --> 00:58:28.480
to<00:58:25.840><c> use</c><00:58:26.099><c> the</c><00:58:26.300><c> modern</c><00:58:27.320><c> terminology,</c>

00:58:29.280 --> 00:58:30.760
he<00:58:29.460><c> got</c><00:58:29.639><c> the</c><00:58:29.940><c> sack.</c>

00:58:31.079 --> 00:58:33.440
Go<00:58:31.619><c> is</c><00:58:32.440><c> the</c><00:58:32.659><c> Greek.</c>

00:58:33.780 --> 00:58:36.059
And<00:58:34.079><c> the</c><00:58:34.300><c> day</c><00:58:34.539><c> laborer</c>

00:58:36.059 --> 00:58:38.880
never<00:58:36.360><c> got</c><00:58:36.659><c> put</c><00:58:36.940><c> on</c><00:58:37.159><c> the</c><00:58:37.420><c> permanent</c><00:58:37.739><c> staff.</c>

00:58:39.019 --> 00:58:39.800
See?

00:58:40.260 --> 00:58:41.079
Go.

00:58:41.679 --> 00:58:44.239
He<00:58:41.920><c> never</c><00:58:42.159><c> made</c><00:58:42.420><c> it</c><00:58:42.539><c> to</c><00:58:42.659><c> the</c><00:58:42.860><c> permanent</c><00:58:43.179><c> staff.</c>

00:58:44.860 --> 00:58:47.059
But,<00:58:45.340><c> says</c><00:58:45.420><c> the</c><00:58:45.619><c> goodman</c><00:58:45.840><c> of</c><00:58:45.980><c> the</c><00:58:46.099><c> house,</c>

00:58:47.980 --> 00:58:50.360
you<00:58:48.199><c> got</c><00:58:48.500><c> that</c><00:58:48.719><c> which</c><00:58:48.840><c> was</c><00:58:49.139><c> lawful,</c>

00:58:50.780 --> 00:58:52.980
for<00:58:50.860><c> that</c><00:58:51.079><c> belonged</c><00:58:51.380><c> to</c><00:58:51.679><c> you.</c>

00:58:53.820 --> 00:58:56.880
Isn't<00:58:54.019><c> it</c><00:58:54.280><c> lawful</c><00:58:54.760><c> for</c><00:58:54.980><c> me</c><00:58:55.320><c> to</c><00:58:55.559><c> do</c>

00:58:56.940 --> 00:58:59.360

00:59:00.980 --> 00:59:02.699
You<00:59:01.460><c> think</c><00:59:01.820><c> of</c><00:59:02.000><c> that,</c><00:59:02.380><c> brothers</c><00:59:02.460><c> and</c><00:59:02.699><c> sisters.</c>

00:59:09.920 --> 00:59:12.059
That<00:59:10.059><c> we</c><00:59:10.380><c> claim</c><00:59:10.679><c> to</c><00:59:10.920><c> have</c><00:59:11.119><c> a</c><00:59:11.420><c> certain</c><00:59:11.679><c> claim</c>

00:59:12.940 --> 00:59:13.920
We<00:59:13.059><c> really</c><00:59:13.360><c> haven't</c><00:59:13.519><c> got</c><00:59:13.760><c> one,</c>

And<00:59:16.800><c> even</c><00:59:16.900><c> if</c><00:59:17.059><c> God</c><00:59:17.300><c> said,</c>

00:59:18.260 --> 00:59:20.880
well,<00:59:18.400><c> okay,</c><00:59:19.320><c> you</c><00:59:19.739><c> made</c><00:59:19.920><c> a</c><00:59:20.139><c> legal</c><00:59:20.420><c> contract</c>

00:59:20.880 --> 00:59:22.920
and<00:59:21.019><c> you've</c><00:59:21.199><c> done</c><00:59:21.519><c> that</c><00:59:21.940><c> much,</c>

00:59:22.980 --> 00:59:24.219
well,<00:59:23.179><c> perhaps</c><00:59:23.440><c> that's</c><00:59:23.880><c> yours.</c>

00:59:37.639 --> 00:59:38.619
Wow.

00:59:38.840 --> 00:59:40.920
And<00:59:38.940><c> what</c><00:59:39.099><c> is</c><00:59:39.280><c> God's,</c><00:59:39.699><c> brothers</c><00:59:39.860><c> and</c><00:59:40.099><c> sisters?</c>

00:59:41.039 --> 00:59:43.820
The<00:59:41.300><c> world,</c><00:59:41.699><c> the</c><00:59:41.880><c> universe,</c><00:59:42.420><c> everything,</c><00:59:42.900><c> eternal</c><00:59:43.199><c> life.</c>

00:59:44.219 --> 00:59:45.519
He<00:59:44.360><c> only</c><00:59:44.780><c> hath</c><00:59:45.000><c> immortality.</c>

00:59:45.619 --> 00:59:47.039
Who<00:59:45.820><c> else</c><00:59:45.980><c> has</c><00:59:46.139><c> got</c><00:59:46.260><c> it?</c>

00:59:48.000 --> 00:59:49.539
Who<00:59:48.239><c> else</c><00:59:48.380><c> has</c><00:59:48.539><c> got</c><00:59:48.760><c> that?</c>

00:59:50.679 --> 00:59:52.380
Can't<00:59:51.159><c> God</c><00:59:51.400><c> do</c><00:59:51.639><c> with</c><00:59:51.840><c> immortality</c>

00:59:52.380 --> 00:59:53.599
what<00:59:52.500><c> he</c><00:59:52.599><c> wants</c><00:59:52.840><c> to</c><00:59:52.980><c> do</c><00:59:53.079><c> with</c><00:59:53.219><c> it?</c>

00:59:53.599 --> 00:59:56.679
We<00:59:54.320><c> haven't</c><00:59:54.480><c> got</c><00:59:54.659><c> a</c><00:59:54.880><c> claim</c><00:59:55.079><c> on</c><00:59:55.239><c> immortality.</c>

00:59:57.659 --> 00:59:59.440
No<00:59:57.800><c> legal</c><00:59:58.219><c> contract,</c><00:59:58.800><c> brothers</c><00:59:58.940><c> and</c><00:59:59.239><c> sisters,</c>

can<00:59:59.980><c> secure</c><01:00:00.440><c> eternity.</c>

01:00:01.920 --> 01:00:04.079
Why,<01:00:02.079><c> that's</c><01:00:02.320><c> the</c><01:00:02.360><c> very</c><01:00:02.599><c> nature</c><01:00:02.880><c> of</c><01:00:03.019><c> God</c><01:00:03.179><c> itself,</c><01:00:03.639><c> isn't</c><01:00:03.800><c> it?</c>

01:00:04.119 --> 01:00:06.539
Why,<01:00:04.340><c> Peter</c><01:00:04.539><c> calls</c><01:00:04.840><c> it</c><01:00:05.360><c> divine</c><01:00:05.840><c> nature.</c>

01:00:06.780 --> 01:00:08.019
Isn't<01:00:06.960><c> it</c><01:00:07.159><c> his?</c>

01:00:08.940 --> 01:00:10.420
Who's<01:00:09.280><c> going</c><01:00:09.360><c> to</c><01:00:09.539><c> question</c><01:00:09.800><c> him</c><01:00:10.039><c> then</c>

01:00:10.420 --> 01:00:12.059
as<01:00:10.719><c> to</c><01:00:10.900><c> who</c><01:00:11.260><c> is</c><01:00:11.500><c> going</c><01:00:11.619><c> to</c><01:00:11.780><c> be</c><01:00:11.900><c> in</c>

01:00:12.059 --> 01:00:13.920
or<01:00:12.139><c> who's</c><01:00:12.380><c> not</c><01:00:12.579><c> going</c><01:00:12.699><c> to</c><01:00:12.800><c> be</c><01:00:12.860><c> in</c><01:00:12.980><c> the</c><01:00:13.159><c> kingdom</c><01:00:13.380><c> of</c><01:00:13.619><c> God?</c>

01:00:14.320 --> 01:00:16.079
It's<01:00:14.559><c> incredible,</c><01:00:14.980><c> isn't</c><01:00:15.179><c> it?</c>

01:00:16.280 --> 01:00:19.139
But<01:00:16.440><c> that</c><01:00:16.579><c> was</c><01:00:16.699><c> the</c><01:00:16.840><c> attitude</c><01:00:17.139><c> of</c><01:00:17.360><c> the</c><01:00:18.159><c> legal</c><01:00:18.559><c> contractors,</c>

01:00:19.239 --> 01:00:20.420
wasn't<01:00:19.500><c> it?</c>

01:00:21.219 --> 01:00:22.380
And<01:00:21.440><c> the</c><01:00:21.639><c> parable</c><01:00:21.920><c> concludes,</c>

01:00:22.380 --> 01:00:25.360
brothers<01:00:22.619><c> and</c><01:00:22.880><c> sisters,</c><01:00:23.320><c> in</c><01:00:23.320><c> verses</c><01:00:23.579><c> 15</c><01:00:24.000><c> and</c><01:00:24.119><c> 16</c><01:00:24.480><c> he</c><01:00:24.639><c> says,</c>

01:00:25.820 --> 01:00:29.599
look,<01:00:26.760><c> is</c><01:00:27.099><c> your</c><01:00:27.519><c> eye</c><01:00:27.800><c> evil</c><01:00:28.099><c> because</c><01:00:28.420><c> I'm</c><01:00:28.760><c> good?</c>

01:00:29.679 --> 01:00:31.800
Now,<01:00:29.880><c> you</c><01:00:29.940><c> know,</c><01:00:30.159><c> I</c><01:00:30.239><c> think</c><01:00:30.400><c> we</c><01:00:30.679><c> dealt</c><01:00:31.039><c> with</c><01:00:31.239><c> this,</c>

01:00:31.880 --> 01:00:32.920
you<01:00:32.099><c> won't</c><01:00:32.239><c> remember</c><01:00:32.599><c> it</c><01:00:32.780><c> now,</c>

01:00:32.960 --> 01:00:34.320
perhaps<01:00:33.260><c> too</c><01:00:33.480><c> many</c><01:00:33.659><c> years</c><01:00:33.900><c> ago</c><01:00:34.119><c> now,</c>

01:00:41.519 --> 01:00:43.300
And<01:00:41.659><c> remember</c><01:00:41.820><c> when</c><01:00:41.900><c> we</c><01:00:42.139><c> did</c><01:00:42.280><c> that,</c><01:00:42.500><c> if</c><01:00:42.639><c> you</c><01:00:42.679><c> can</c><01:00:42.860><c> remember,</c>

And<01:01:52.800><c> so</c><01:01:52.920><c> in</c><01:01:53.099><c> verse</c><01:01:53.280><c> 16,</c><01:01:54.980><c> the</c><01:01:55.119><c> last</c><01:01:55.900><c> shall</c><01:01:56.880><c> be</c><01:01:57.099><c> first.</c>

01:01:58.280 --> 01:02:00.900
Now,<01:01:58.679><c> chapter</c><01:01:58.739><c> 19</c><01:01:59.139><c> and</c><01:01:59.340><c> verse</c><01:01:59.579><c> 30</c><01:01:59.880><c> said,</c>

The<01:02:06.039><c> order</c><01:02:06.199><c> is</c><01:02:06.440><c> inverted.</c>

01:02:07.940 --> 01:02:08.860
Why?

01:02:09.699 --> 01:02:12.239
Well,<01:02:09.860><c> because</c><01:02:10.079><c> you</c><01:02:10.300><c> see,</c><01:02:11.099><c> when</c><01:02:11.260><c> the</c><01:02:11.440><c> ruler</c><01:02:11.599><c> worked</c><01:02:11.880><c> away,</c>

01:02:14.960 --> 01:02:16.179
And<01:02:15.239><c> I</c><01:02:15.380><c> don't</c><01:02:15.539><c> think</c><01:02:15.639><c> Jesus</c><01:02:15.880><c> was</c><01:02:16.039><c> saying</c>

01:02:16.179 --> 01:02:17.039

01:02:17.179 --> 01:02:18.500
That's<01:02:17.599><c> a</c><01:02:17.599><c> question</c><01:02:17.880><c> we</c><01:02:18.059><c> don't</c><01:02:18.300><c> know.</c>

01:02:18.780 --> 01:02:20.179
But<01:02:18.900><c> he</c><01:02:18.960><c> went</c><01:02:19.079><c> away</c><01:02:19.300><c> with</c><01:02:19.440><c> a</c><01:02:19.579><c> lot</c><01:02:19.659><c> to</c><01:02:19.840><c> think</c><01:02:20.000><c> about.</c>

01:02:20.559 --> 01:02:22.820
But<01:02:20.659><c> if</c><01:02:21.179><c> he</c><01:02:21.340><c> didn't</c><01:02:21.579><c> think</c><01:02:21.820><c> about</c><01:02:22.059><c> it,</c>

01:02:24.460 --> 01:02:26.619

01:02:26.940 --> 01:02:29.280
But<01:02:27.099><c> you</c><01:02:27.300><c> see,</c><01:02:27.860><c> this</c><01:02:28.119><c> parable</c><01:02:28.420><c> is</c><01:02:28.659><c> finishing</c><01:02:28.900><c> up</c>

01:02:38.079 --> 01:02:41.659

and<01:04:06.780><c> that</c><01:04:07.139><c> you</c><01:04:07.679><c> get</c><01:04:07.860><c> a</c><01:04:08.039><c> reward</c><01:04:08.260><c> for</c><01:04:08.420><c> work</c><01:04:08.679><c> done.</c>

01:04:10.539 --> 01:04:11.860
It's<01:04:10.539><c> more</c><01:04:10.760><c> than</c><01:04:10.900><c> a</c><01:04:11.039><c> gift.</c>

01:04:11.960 --> 01:04:13.260
It's<01:04:12.139><c> not</c><01:04:12.340><c> true.</c>

01:04:14.219 --> 01:04:16.380
And<01:04:14.300><c> Jesus</c><01:04:14.619><c> finishes</c><01:04:15.039><c> with</c><01:04:15.360><c> the</c><01:04:15.500><c> words,</c>

01:04:16.460 --> 01:04:19.920
many<01:04:16.639><c> are</c><01:04:16.940><c> called,</c><01:04:17.119><c> he</c><01:04:17.280><c> says,</c><01:04:18.579><c> but</c><01:04:18.679><c> few</c><01:04:18.820><c> are</c><01:04:19.039><c> chosen.</c>

01:04:20.320 --> 01:04:23.280
And<01:04:20.519><c> I</c><01:04:20.739><c> suppose,</c><01:04:21.119><c> brothers</c><01:04:21.179><c> and</c><01:04:21.440><c> sisters,</c><01:04:21.659><c> we</c><01:04:21.820><c> could</c><01:04:21.940><c> say</c><01:04:22.199><c> this.</c>

01:04:24.639 --> 01:04:28.340
There'd<01:04:24.860><c> be</c><01:04:24.940><c> many</c><01:04:25.219><c> Jews,</c><01:04:26.280><c> hundreds</c><01:04:26.579><c> and</c><01:04:26.820><c> thousands</c><01:04:27.179><c> of</c><01:04:27.440><c> them,</c>

01:04:28.480 --> 01:04:31.119
all<01:04:28.699><c> of</c><01:04:28.860><c> whom</c><01:04:28.920><c> were</c><01:04:29.219><c> called,</c><01:04:29.420><c> really,</c><01:04:29.920><c> weren't</c><01:04:29.920><c> they?</c>

01:04:31.300 --> 01:04:33.820
I<01:04:31.420><c> mean,</c><01:04:31.420><c> they're</c><01:04:31.619><c> all</c><01:04:31.880><c> called</c><01:04:32.260><c> by</c><01:04:32.639><c> being</c><01:04:32.940><c> born</c><01:04:33.159><c> into</c><01:04:33.320><c> the</c><01:04:33.519><c> nation</c>

01:04:33.820 --> 01:04:35.699
because<01:04:34.039><c> they</c><01:04:34.159><c> were</c><01:04:34.360><c> born</c><01:04:34.500><c> under</c><01:04:34.679><c> the</c><01:04:34.920><c> shadow</c><01:04:35.159><c> of</c><01:04:35.360><c> the</c><01:04:35.519><c> covenant,</c>

01:04:35.840 --> 01:04:38.059
to<01:04:35.940><c> whom</c><01:04:36.159><c> belongeth</c><01:04:36.699><c> the</c><01:04:36.920><c> covenant,</c><01:04:37.420><c> the</c><01:04:37.699><c> promises,</c>

01:04:38.519 --> 01:04:40.159
the<01:04:38.639><c> giving</c><01:04:38.760><c> of</c><01:04:38.940><c> the</c><01:04:39.119><c> law,</c><01:04:39.380><c> it</c><01:04:39.559><c> says</c><01:04:39.639><c> the</c><01:04:39.860><c> apostle.</c>

01:04:40.440 --> 01:04:44.519
So<01:04:40.659><c> they</c><01:04:40.739><c> were</c><01:04:40.940><c> all</c><01:04:41.159><c> in</c><01:04:41.500><c> the</c><01:04:41.639><c> truth</c><01:04:41.980><c> and</c><01:04:42.480><c> there</c><01:04:42.579><c> were</c><01:04:42.800><c> thousands</c><01:04:43.300><c> of</c><01:04:43.539><c> them.</c>

01:04:45.139 --> 01:04:48.239
But<01:04:45.519><c> relatively</c><01:04:45.900><c> speaking,</c><01:04:47.280><c> there'd</c><01:04:47.300><c> be</c><01:04:47.380><c> only</c><01:04:47.539><c> few</c><01:04:47.719><c> of</c><01:04:47.800><c> them</c><01:04:48.000><c> saved</c>

01:04:48.239 --> 01:04:52.860
because<01:04:48.500><c> they</c><01:04:48.659><c> were</c><01:04:48.900><c> all</c><01:04:49.360><c> mostly</c><01:04:49.960><c> legal</c><01:04:50.960><c> contractors,</c><01:04:52.019><c> weren't</c><01:04:52.119><c> they?</c>

01:04:54.039 --> 01:04:56.659
But<01:04:54.320><c> I</c><01:04:54.500><c> think</c><01:04:54.619><c> when</c><01:04:54.820><c> the</c><01:04:54.960><c> Lord</c><01:04:55.119><c> said</c><01:04:55.380><c> that</c><01:04:55.519><c> at</c><01:04:55.699><c> the</c><01:04:55.739><c> end</c><01:04:55.840><c> of</c><01:04:56.059><c> the</c><01:04:56.440><c> parable,</c>

01:04:56.800 --> 01:04:58.320
the<01:04:56.900><c> word</c><01:04:57.219><c> many,</c><01:04:57.739><c> brothers</c><01:04:57.840><c> and</c><01:04:58.099><c> sisters,</c>

01:04:58.719 --> 01:05:00.820
encapsulates<01:04:59.139><c> everybody,</c><01:04:59.860><c> be</c><01:05:00.000><c> Jew</c><01:05:00.119><c> or</c><01:05:00.360><c> Gentile.</c>

01:05:00.820 --> 01:05:07.320
Because<01:05:01.860><c> you</c><01:05:02.039><c> see,</c><01:05:03.219><c> most</c><01:05:03.219><c> people,</c><01:05:05.019><c> I</c><01:05:05.139><c> say</c><01:05:05.539><c> all</c><01:05:06.519><c> people,</c>

01:05:08.880 --> 01:05:11.860
humanly<01:05:09.400><c> speaking,</c><01:05:10.619><c> are</c><01:05:10.739><c> like</c><01:05:10.960><c> those</c><01:05:11.320><c> contractors.</c>

01:05:12.219 --> 01:05:15.059
We<01:05:12.500><c> all</c><01:05:12.880><c> have</c><01:05:13.039><c> that</c><01:05:13.500><c> instinctively</c><01:05:14.099><c> built</c><01:05:14.340><c> in</c><01:05:14.480><c> us.</c>

01:05:15.500 --> 01:05:16.780
It's<01:05:15.679><c> part</c><01:05:15.920><c> of</c><01:05:16.059><c> our</c><01:05:16.340><c> human</c><01:05:16.539><c> makeup.</c>

01:05:16.880 --> 01:05:18.239
There's<01:05:17.059><c> no</c><01:05:17.239><c> good</c><01:05:17.380><c> in</c><01:05:17.559><c> man.</c>

01:05:18.880 --> 01:05:21.340
Whether<01:05:19.179><c> we</c><01:05:19.480><c> like</c><01:05:19.639><c> it</c><01:05:19.760><c> or</c><01:05:19.900><c> not,</c><01:05:20.179><c> we</c><01:05:20.300><c> do</c><01:05:20.679><c> think</c><01:05:20.920><c> at</c><01:05:21.119><c> times</c>

01:05:21.340 --> 01:05:24.019
in<01:05:21.500><c> the</c><01:05:21.599><c> back</c><01:05:21.739><c> of</c><01:05:21.880><c> our</c><01:05:22.059><c> mind</c><01:05:22.320><c> that</c><01:05:22.719><c> if</c><01:05:23.059><c> we</c><01:05:23.300><c> do</c><01:05:23.559><c> something,</c>

01:05:24.320 --> 01:05:25.559
we<01:05:24.579><c> will</c><01:05:24.920><c> get</c><01:05:25.239><c> something.</c>

01:05:25.699 --> 01:05:28.539
And<01:05:26.019><c> in</c><01:05:26.420><c> a</c><01:05:26.599><c> sense,</c><01:05:26.840><c> that</c><01:05:27.039><c> is</c><01:05:27.440><c> true.</c>

01:05:28.659 --> 01:05:30.559
Because<01:05:29.099><c> faith</c><01:05:29.539><c> without</c><01:05:29.760><c> works</c><01:05:30.079><c> is</c><01:05:30.380><c> dead.</c>

01:05:30.639 --> 01:05:31.340
We<01:05:30.719><c> know</c><01:05:31.000><c> that.</c>

01:05:31.659 --> 01:05:33.780
Now,<01:05:31.860><c> how</c><01:05:32.000><c> do</c><01:05:32.179><c> we</c><01:05:32.320><c> cope</c><01:05:32.579><c> with</c><01:05:32.760><c> that</c><01:05:32.940><c> problem?</c>

01:05:33.800 --> 01:05:36.480

01:05:41.579 --> 01:05:44.599
How<01:05:41.860><c> do</c><01:05:42.000><c> we</c><01:05:42.260><c> cope</c><01:05:42.579><c> with</c><01:05:42.760><c> that</c><01:05:42.960><c> problem,</c><01:05:43.400><c> brothers</c><01:05:43.500><c> and</c><01:05:43.760><c> sisters?</c>

01:05:44.820 --> 01:05:46.219
Well,<01:05:44.920><c> you</c><01:05:45.039><c> see,</c><01:05:45.119><c> you've</c><01:05:45.320><c> got</c><01:05:45.320><c> to</c><01:05:45.460><c> adjust</c><01:05:45.780><c> your</c><01:05:46.000><c> thinking</c>

with<01:05:46.460><c> this.</c>

01:05:48.000 --> 01:05:50.159
And<01:05:48.159><c> you've</c><01:05:48.380><c> got</c><01:05:48.400><c> to</c><01:05:48.579><c> think</c><01:05:48.760><c> to</c><01:05:48.860><c> yourself</c><01:05:49.139><c> this.</c>

01:05:50.940 --> 01:05:53.019
What<01:05:51.119><c> is</c><01:05:51.460><c> necessary</c><01:05:52.059><c> for</c><01:05:52.340><c> my</c><01:05:52.599><c> salvation?</c>

01:05:53.159 --> 01:05:54.699
What<01:05:53.380><c> was</c><01:05:53.659><c> necessary?</c>

01:05:55.059 --> 01:05:57.059
What<01:05:55.320><c> was</c><01:05:55.579><c> necessary</c><01:05:55.940><c> to</c><01:05:56.079><c> be</c><01:05:56.280><c> done?</c>

01:05:57.440 --> 01:06:01.119
Well,<01:05:57.880><c> what</c><01:05:57.980><c> was</c><01:05:58.239><c> necessary</c><01:05:58.619><c> to</c><01:05:58.760><c> be</c><01:05:58.980><c> done</c><01:05:59.380><c> was</c><01:05:59.820><c> two</c><01:06:00.019><c> things.</c>

01:06:01.820 --> 01:06:03.239
And<01:06:01.980><c> really,</c><01:06:02.119><c> when</c><01:06:02.320><c> one</c><01:06:02.500><c> was</c><01:06:02.760><c> done,</c>

01:06:03.699 --> 01:06:05.639
the<01:06:03.840><c> other</c><01:06:03.940><c> was</c><01:06:04.159><c> automatically</c><01:06:04.679><c> done.</c>

01:06:05.940 --> 01:06:09.320
And<01:06:06.139><c> the</c><01:06:06.260><c> two</c><01:06:06.420><c> things</c><01:06:06.659><c> were</c><01:06:07.340><c> that</c><01:06:08.300><c> flesh</c><01:06:08.639><c> had</c><01:06:08.840><c> to</c><01:06:09.000><c> be</c>

01:06:13.119 --> 01:06:15.619
There<01:06:13.320><c> is</c><01:06:13.599><c> no</c><01:06:13.920><c> good</c><01:06:14.039><c> in</c><01:06:14.380><c> flesh</c><01:06:14.599><c> from</c><01:06:14.920><c> top</c><01:06:15.239><c> to</c><01:06:15.460><c> bottom.</c>

01:06:15.840 --> 01:06:17.559
It<01:06:15.840><c> is</c><01:06:16.639><c> totally</c><01:06:17.059><c> repugnant.</c>

01:06:17.780 --> 01:06:20.400
It's<01:06:18.000><c> got</c><01:06:18.039><c> to</c><01:06:18.159><c> be</c><01:06:18.579><c> totally</c><01:06:19.059><c> repudiated.</c>

01:06:20.679 --> 01:06:25.280
And<01:06:20.920><c> it's</c><01:06:21.179><c> done</c><01:06:21.980><c> by</c><01:06:23.340><c> being</c><01:06:24.059><c> perfectly</c><01:06:24.619><c> righteous.</c>

And<01:06:26.019><c> you</c><01:06:26.219><c> see,</c><01:06:26.420><c> you</c><01:06:26.500><c> take</c><01:06:26.699><c> the</c><01:06:26.840><c> latter</c><01:06:27.000><c> thing.</c>

01:06:28.500 --> 01:06:31.780
If<01:06:28.659><c> a</c><01:06:28.900><c> man</c><01:06:29.300><c> is</c><01:06:30.199><c> perfectly</c><01:06:30.679><c> righteous,</c>

01:06:32.800 --> 01:06:34.679
the<01:06:32.940><c> flesh</c><01:06:33.539><c> is</c><01:06:33.800><c> entirely</c><01:06:34.139><c> repudiated.</c>

01:06:34.739 --> 01:06:36.800
So<01:06:34.880><c> it's</c><01:06:34.940><c> not</c><01:06:35.099><c> a</c><01:06:35.219><c> question</c><01:06:35.400><c> of</c><01:06:35.579><c> gritting</c><01:06:35.780><c> one's</c><01:06:36.219><c> teeth</c><01:06:36.360><c> and</c><01:06:36.579><c> saying,</c>

01:06:37.119 --> 01:06:38.940
I<01:06:37.199><c> mustn't</c><01:06:38.019><c> do</c><01:06:38.139><c> this,</c><01:06:38.320><c> I</c><01:06:38.360><c> mustn't</c><01:06:38.619><c> do</c><01:06:38.780><c> that.</c>

01:06:39.079 --> 01:06:40.900
And<01:06:39.260><c> then</c><01:06:39.400><c> we've</c><01:06:39.659><c> got</c><01:06:39.760><c> ourselves</c><01:06:40.019><c> in</c><01:06:40.199><c> a</c><01:06:40.340><c> vacuum</c><01:06:40.639><c> saying,</c>

01:06:41.119 --> 01:06:42.900
now<01:06:41.340><c> I</c><01:06:41.480><c> do</c><01:06:41.579><c> this</c><01:06:41.719><c> and</c><01:06:41.820><c> do</c><01:06:42.019><c> that.</c>

01:06:43.059 --> 01:06:45.579
It's<01:06:43.320><c> a</c><01:06:43.420><c> question</c><01:06:43.619><c> of</c><01:06:43.800><c> saying,</c><01:06:44.360><c> do</c><01:06:44.480><c> all</c><01:06:44.739><c> the</c><01:06:44.920><c> right</c><01:06:45.179><c> things.</c>

01:06:45.639 --> 01:06:47.420
And<01:06:45.820><c> then</c><01:06:45.980><c> the</c><01:06:46.159><c> rest</c><01:06:46.480><c> will</c><01:06:46.719><c> take</c><01:06:46.880><c> care</c><01:06:47.019><c> of</c><01:06:47.179><c> itself.</c>

01:06:47.639 --> 01:06:50.039
Now,<01:06:47.820><c> that's</c><01:06:48.159><c> what's</c><01:06:48.460><c> necessary</c><01:06:48.780><c> to</c><01:06:48.940><c> be</c><01:06:49.079><c> done</c><01:06:49.280><c> for</c><01:06:49.420><c> us</c><01:06:49.579><c> to</c><01:06:49.719><c> be</c><01:06:49.940><c> saved</c>

01:06:50.039 --> 01:06:52.219
because<01:06:50.360><c> God's</c><01:06:50.860><c> righteousness</c><01:06:51.199><c> had</c><01:06:51.400><c> to</c><01:06:51.579><c> be</c><01:06:51.739><c> declared.</c>

01:06:52.219 --> 01:06:55.239
And<01:06:53.019><c> this</c><01:06:53.199><c> is</c><01:06:53.360><c> where</c><01:06:53.500><c> we</c><01:06:53.840><c> very</c><01:06:54.119><c> often</c><01:06:54.440><c> do</c><01:06:54.719><c> not</c><01:06:54.900><c> put</c><01:06:55.079><c> the</c>

01:06:55.239 --> 01:06:56.039
emphasis<01:06:55.519><c> correct</c>

01:06:56.039 --> 01:06:59.820
not<01:06:56.699><c> only</c><01:06:57.019><c> in</c><01:06:57.239><c> the</c><01:06:57.400><c> fact</c><01:06:57.559><c> that</c><01:06:57.860><c> flesh</c><01:06:58.300><c> has</c><01:06:58.599><c> got</c><01:06:58.699><c> to</c><01:06:58.820><c> be</c><01:06:59.039><c> repudiated,</c>

01:07:00.159 --> 01:07:01.239
but<01:07:00.219><c> brothers</c><01:07:00.460><c> and</c><01:07:00.739><c> sisters,</c>

01:07:01.539 --> 01:07:07.699
God's<01:07:02.199><c> righteousness</c><01:07:02.840><c> demands</c><01:07:04.380><c> a</c><01:07:05.719><c> perfect</c><01:07:06.420><c> life.</c>

01:07:08.079 --> 01:07:09.639
Now,<01:07:08.239><c> what's</c><01:07:08.539><c> got</c><01:07:08.599><c> to</c><01:07:08.699><c> be</c><01:07:08.800><c> done</c><01:07:08.900><c> for</c><01:07:09.099><c> our</c><01:07:09.280><c> salvation?</c>

01:07:09.739 --> 01:07:10.599
That's<01:07:10.039><c> got</c><01:07:10.119><c> to</c><01:07:10.239><c> be</c><01:07:10.380><c> done.</c>

01:07:10.960 --> 01:07:12.519
Well,<01:07:11.059><c> it's</c><01:07:11.360><c> been</c><01:07:11.619><c> done.</c>

01:07:12.679 --> 01:07:16.059
And<01:07:13.079><c> there's</c><01:07:13.579><c> nothing</c><01:07:14.019><c> that</c><01:07:14.500><c> you</c><01:07:14.820><c> or</c><01:07:15.119><c> I</c><01:07:15.360><c> can</c><01:07:15.659><c> do</c>

01:07:16.059 --> 01:07:17.760
that<01:07:16.380><c> will</c><01:07:16.599><c> detract</c><01:07:17.019><c> from</c><01:07:17.239><c> that</c><01:07:17.500><c> work.</c>

01:07:17.900 --> 01:07:21.260
And<01:07:18.300><c> there's</c><01:07:18.920><c> certainly</c><01:07:19.380><c> nothing</c><01:07:19.840><c> we</c><01:07:20.079><c> can</c><01:07:20.260><c> do</c><01:07:20.519><c> to</c><01:07:20.760><c> add</c><01:07:20.980><c> to</c><01:07:21.099><c> it.</c>

01:07:21.260 --> 01:07:26.599
But<01:07:21.840><c> what</c><01:07:22.039><c> we</c><01:07:22.260><c> can</c><01:07:22.500><c> do</c><01:07:23.079><c> is</c><01:07:23.800><c> to</c><01:07:24.079><c> demonstrate</c><01:07:24.780><c> our</c><01:07:25.400><c> gratitude</c>

01:07:26.900 --> 01:07:30.719
by<01:07:27.659><c> willingly</c><01:07:28.059><c> going</c><01:07:28.300><c> into</c><01:07:28.519><c> that</c><01:07:28.800><c> vineyard</c><01:07:29.159><c> at</c><01:07:29.360><c> any</c><01:07:29.619><c> hour</c>

01:07:31.119 --> 01:07:35.199
and<01:07:31.880><c> with</c><01:07:32.039><c> a</c><01:07:32.179><c> simplicity</c><01:07:32.780><c> and</c><01:07:33.300><c> childlike</c><01:07:33.880><c> trust</c>

01:07:35.739 --> 01:07:39.500
take<01:07:36.500><c> our</c><01:07:37.079><c> householder,</c><01:07:38.000><c> the</c><01:07:38.079><c> head</c><01:07:38.139><c> of</c><01:07:38.320><c> the</c><01:07:38.480><c> family,</c>

01:07:39.559 --> 01:07:45.420
at<01:07:39.800><c> his</c><01:07:40.079><c> word</c><01:07:40.679><c> and</c><01:07:41.900><c> treat</c><01:07:42.099><c> him</c><01:07:42.619><c> as</c><01:07:43.099><c> a</c><01:07:43.300><c> father</c><01:07:43.719><c> of</c><01:07:44.159><c> honesty,</c>

01:07:45.559 --> 01:07:48.219
integrity<01:07:46.039><c> and</c><01:07:46.320><c> above</c><01:07:46.500><c> all</c><01:07:46.739><c> else</c><01:07:46.940><c> of</c><01:07:47.260><c> kindness.</c>

01:07:48.340 --> 01:07:49.900
That's<01:07:48.699><c> all</c><01:07:48.860><c> we</c><01:07:49.000><c> can</c><01:07:49.219><c> do.</c>

01:07:50.139 --> 01:07:52.940
It's<01:07:50.820><c> a</c><01:07:50.880><c> question</c><01:07:51.159><c> of</c><01:07:51.400><c> attitudes,</c><01:07:51.760><c> isn't</c><01:07:52.039><c> it?</c>

01:07:53.099 --> 01:07:55.599
Many<01:07:53.500><c> are</c><01:07:53.900><c> called</c><01:07:54.059><c> brothers</c><01:07:54.380><c> and</c><01:07:54.639><c> sisters,</c>

01:07:55.920 --> 01:08:01.219
but<01:07:55.980><c> few</c><01:07:56.119><c> are</c><01:07:56.340><c> chosen</c><01:07:56.719><c> because</c><01:07:57.119><c> that's</c><01:07:57.480><c> a</c><01:07:57.500><c> very</c><01:07:58.320><c> difficult</c><01:07:59.039><c> attitude</c><01:07:59.659><c> to</c><01:08:00.480><c> adopt.</c>
