We<00:42:55.400><c> would</c><00:42:55.820><c> watch,</c><00:42:56.199><c> I</c><00:42:56.460><c> believe,</c><00:42:57.460><c> to</c><00:42:57.940><c> see</c><00:42:58.460><c> if</c><00:42:58.739><c> there</c><00:42:58.920><c> was</c><00:42:59.119><c> any</c>

00:43:00.420 --> 00:43:07.280
crack,<00:43:02.480><c> any</c><00:43:03.280><c> flaw,</c><00:43:04.800><c> any</c><00:43:05.679><c> inconsistency</c>

00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:12.400
from<00:43:08.119><c> what</c><00:43:08.300><c> we</c><00:43:08.559><c> read</c><00:43:08.719><c> about</c><00:43:09.440><c> to</c><00:43:10.039><c> how</c><00:43:10.199><c> He</c><00:43:10.400><c> presents</c><00:43:10.679><c> Himself</c><00:43:11.039><c> to</c><00:43:11.300><c> us.</c>

00:43:13.519 --> 00:43:15.559
That's<00:43:13.960><c> not</c><00:43:14.119><c> a</c><00:43:14.219><c> new</c><00:43:14.380><c> thing.</c>

00:43:17.539 --> 00:43:20.500
Later,<00:43:18.219><c> they</c><00:43:18.460><c> sent</c><00:43:18.699><c> some</c><00:43:18.940><c> of</c><00:43:19.159><c> the</c><00:43:19.280><c> Pharisees</c><00:43:19.800><c> and</c><00:43:19.960><c> Herodians</c>

00:43:20.500 --> 00:43:25.059
to<00:43:20.699><c> Jesus</c><00:43:21.260><c> to</c><00:43:21.940><c> catch</c><00:43:22.480><c> Him</c><00:43:22.900><c> in</c><00:43:23.400><c> His</c><00:43:23.780><c> words.</c>

00:43:25.960 --> 00:43:28.280
When<00:43:26.059><c> Jesus</c><00:43:26.420><c> left</c><00:43:26.719><c> there,</c><00:43:27.079><c> the</c><00:43:27.199><c> Pharisees</c><00:43:27.760><c> and</c><00:43:27.880><c> the</c><00:43:28.039><c> teachers</c>

00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:30.840
of<00:43:28.480><c> the</c><00:43:28.619><c> law</c><00:43:28.860><c> began</c><00:43:29.219><c> to</c><00:43:29.500><c> oppose</c><00:43:29.800><c> Him</c><00:43:30.179><c> fiercely</c>

00:43:30.840 --> 00:43:34.599
and<00:43:31.239><c> to</c><00:43:31.539><c> besiege</c><00:43:31.840><c> Him</c><00:43:31.980><c> with</c><00:43:32.219><c> questions,</c><00:43:33.179><c> waiting</c><00:43:33.599><c> to</c><00:43:34.239><c> catch</c>

00:43:34.599 --> 00:43:36.579
Him<00:43:34.820><c> in</c><00:43:35.019><c> something</c><00:43:35.320><c> He</c><00:43:35.480><c> might</c><00:43:35.780><c> not.</c>

00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:43.780
But<00:43:40.880><c> we</c><00:43:41.079><c> would</c><00:43:41.380><c> certainly</c><00:43:41.679><c> watch</c><00:43:42.159><c> and</c><00:43:42.440><c> inspect</c><00:43:42.800><c> Him</c><00:43:43.000><c> carefully</c><00:43:43.400><c> to</c><00:43:43.539><c> make</c>

00:43:43.780 --> 00:43:45.940
sure<00:43:44.019><c> that</c><00:43:44.199><c> He</c><00:43:44.260><c> was</c><00:43:45.280><c> true</c>

00:43:45.940 --> 00:43:49.360
to<00:43:46.559><c> every</c><00:43:46.900><c> principle</c><00:43:47.320><c> that</c><00:43:47.539><c> we</c><00:43:47.920><c> have</c><00:43:48.139><c> accepted</c><00:43:48.539><c> and</c><00:43:48.699><c> understood</c><00:43:49.119><c> about</c>

00:43:49.360 --> 00:43:50.159
the<00:43:49.480><c> Lord</c><00:43:49.659><c> Jesus.</c>

00:43:50.340 --> 00:43:52.880
We<00:43:50.639><c> would</c><00:43:50.980><c> watch</c><00:43:51.280><c> Him</c><00:43:51.519><c> very</c><00:43:51.860><c> carefully.</c>

00:43:53.960 --> 00:43:59.739
And<00:43:54.159><c> so</c><00:43:54.480><c> I</c><00:43:54.900><c> propose</c><00:43:55.320><c> to</c><00:43:55.519><c> you</c><00:43:56.739><c> three</c><00:43:57.980><c> tests</c><00:43:58.639><c> to</c><00:43:59.300><c> think</c><00:43:59.539><c> about</c>

00:43:59.739 --> 00:44:03.159
this<00:44:00.019><c> morning</c><00:44:00.440><c> about</c><00:44:01.579><c> the</c><00:44:01.760><c> Lord</c><00:44:01.940><c> Jesus.</c>

00:44:03.840 --> 00:44:09.860
And<00:44:04.400><c> I</c><00:44:04.960><c> preface</c><00:44:05.300><c> these</c><00:44:05.599><c> tests</c><00:44:05.920><c> by</c><00:44:07.139><c> a</c><00:44:07.980><c> phrase</c><00:44:08.199><c> which</c><00:44:08.480><c> is</c><00:44:08.800><c> interesting.</c>

00:44:10.340 --> 00:44:13.619
In<00:44:10.639><c> our</c><00:44:10.860><c> lifetime,</c><00:44:11.320><c> in</c><00:44:11.519><c> our</c><00:44:11.820><c> experience,</c><00:44:12.380><c> we</c><00:44:12.500><c> sometimes</c><00:44:13.019><c> say</c>

00:44:13.619 --> 00:44:16.840
that<00:44:14.820><c> this</c><00:44:15.179><c> is</c><00:44:15.480><c> off</c><00:44:15.699><c> the</c><00:44:15.920><c> record.</c>

00:44:17.300 --> 00:44:19.380
I'm<00:44:17.539><c> going</c><00:44:17.559><c> to</c><00:44:17.719><c> speak</c><00:44:17.860><c> to</c><00:44:18.039><c> somebody</c><00:44:18.239><c> and</c><00:44:18.380><c> we</c><00:44:18.440><c> say,</c><00:44:18.900><c> this</c><00:44:19.119><c> is</c>

00:44:19.380 --> 00:44:20.099
off<00:44:19.579><c> the</c><00:44:19.840><c> record.</c>

00:44:20.440 --> 00:44:24.460
And<00:44:20.659><c> in</c><00:44:21.019><c> common</c><00:44:21.239><c> parlance,</c><00:44:22.239><c> computer</c><00:44:22.539><c> parlance,</c><00:44:22.980><c> we</c><00:44:23.079><c> say,</c><00:44:23.480><c> this</c><00:44:23.619><c> is</c><00:44:23.920><c> offline.</c>

00:44:24.739 --> 00:44:27.639
We're<00:44:25.099><c> going</c><00:44:25.360><c> off</c><00:44:25.679><c> the</c><00:44:25.900><c> system</c><00:44:26.139><c> and</c><00:44:26.260><c> we're</c><00:44:26.400><c> just</c><00:44:26.619><c> going</c><00:44:26.800><c> to</c><00:44:27.340><c> do</c>

00:44:27.639 --> 00:44:28.360
something<00:44:28.019><c> separate</c>

00:44:28.360 --> 00:44:30.960
that<00:44:28.519><c> doesn't</c><00:44:28.800><c> affect</c><00:44:29.159><c> the</c><00:44:29.400><c> main</c><00:44:29.880><c> flow</c><00:44:30.260><c> of</c><00:44:30.579><c> processing.</c>

00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:33.000
It's<00:44:31.280><c> offline,</c><00:44:31.800><c> off</c><00:44:31.940><c> the</c><00:44:32.119><c> record.</c>

00:44:34.320 --> 00:44:37.659
Jesus<00:44:34.960><c> was</c><00:44:35.599><c> never</c><00:44:36.219><c> offline.</c>

00:44:38.300 --> 00:44:40.019
He<00:44:38.619><c> never</c><00:44:38.940><c> did</c><00:44:39.139><c> things</c><00:44:39.380><c> off</c><00:44:39.659><c> the</c><00:44:39.860><c> record.</c>

00:44:40.179 --> 00:44:46.519
He<00:44:40.360><c> didn't</c><00:44:40.579><c> sort</c><00:44:40.800><c> of</c><00:44:41.500><c> take</c><00:44:41.760><c> His</c><00:44:42.019><c> coat</c><00:44:42.260><c> off,</c><00:44:43.380><c> relax,</c><00:44:44.780><c> and</c><00:44:45.800><c> exhibit</c><00:44:46.199><c> a</c>

00:44:46.519 --> 00:44:47.679
different<00:44:46.880><c> personality</c>

00:44:47.679 --> 00:44:50.340
because<00:44:48.280><c> He</c><00:44:48.420><c> wasn't</c><00:44:48.900><c> in</c><00:44:49.340><c> the</c><00:44:49.500><c> public</c><00:44:49.840><c> view.</c>

00:44:50.719 --> 00:44:53.460
He<00:44:51.000><c> wasn't</c><00:44:51.260><c> under</c><00:44:51.579><c> the</c><00:44:51.880><c> scrutiny</c><00:44:52.179><c> of</c><00:44:52.380><c> His</c><00:44:52.980><c> enemies.</c>

00:44:53.460 --> 00:45:00.440
He<00:44:54.480><c> was</c><00:44:54.860><c> absolutely</c><00:44:56.019><c> consistent</c><00:44:57.219><c> in</c><00:44:58.360><c> every</c><00:44:59.059><c> situation.</c>

00:45:02.420 --> 00:45:07.119
So<00:45:02.539><c> when</c><00:45:02.699><c> Jesus</c><00:45:03.460><c> needed</c><00:45:04.340><c> a</c><00:45:04.719><c> quiet</c><00:45:05.019><c> break</c><00:45:05.579><c> and</c><00:45:06.360><c> needed</c><00:45:06.639><c> to</c><00:45:06.820><c> go</c>

00:45:07.119 --> 00:45:09.389
aside<00:45:07.659><c> with</c><00:45:08.099><c> His</c><00:45:08.400><c> disciples,</c>

00:45:10.719 --> 00:45:16.300
we<00:45:10.860><c> might</c><00:45:11.119><c> expect</c><00:45:11.599><c> Him</c><00:45:12.300><c> to</c><00:45:12.739><c> just</c><00:45:13.019><c> make</c><00:45:13.219><c> a</c><00:45:13.420><c> remark</c><00:45:13.699><c> which</c><00:45:13.940><c> indicates</c><00:45:14.880><c> a</c>

00:45:16.300 --> 00:45:17.300
slight<00:45:16.639><c> deviation</c>

00:45:17.300 --> 00:45:20.840
from<00:45:17.840><c> the</c><00:45:18.059><c> Jesus</c><00:45:18.559><c> we've</c><00:45:19.360><c> come</c><00:45:19.539><c> to</c><00:45:19.800><c> understand.</c>

00:45:21.039 --> 00:45:25.079
We've<00:45:21.599><c> thought</c><00:45:21.760><c> of</c><00:45:21.880><c> the</c><00:45:22.139><c> phrase</c><00:45:22.420><c> that</c><00:45:22.840><c> religion</c><00:45:23.460><c> is</c><00:45:24.400><c> what</c><00:45:24.760><c> you</c>

00:45:25.079 --> 00:45:27.980
are<00:45:25.619><c> when</c><00:45:26.619><c> you</c><00:45:26.800><c> are</c><00:45:27.059><c> alone.</c>

00:45:28.860 --> 00:45:30.260
It's<00:45:29.159><c> a</c><00:45:29.239><c> very</c><00:45:29.440><c> interesting</c><00:45:29.800><c> concept.</c>

00:45:30.360 --> 00:45:33.420
Religion<00:45:30.760><c> is</c><00:45:31.019><c> what</c><00:45:31.219><c> you</c><00:45:31.539><c> are</c><00:45:32.099><c> when</c><00:45:32.559><c> you</c><00:45:32.780><c> are</c><00:45:32.960><c> alone.</c>

00:45:33.780 --> 00:45:36.679
And<00:45:33.920><c> what</c><00:45:34.000><c> that's</c><00:45:34.239><c> saying</c><00:45:34.420><c> is</c><00:45:34.659><c> we</c><00:45:34.760><c> can</c><00:45:35.059><c> be</c><00:45:35.719><c> religious</c><00:45:36.099><c> this</c><00:45:36.420><c> morning.</c>

00:45:36.840 --> 00:45:41.079
We<00:45:37.219><c> appear</c><00:45:37.719><c> to</c><00:45:38.179><c> be</c><00:45:38.360><c> sincere</c><00:45:38.900><c> and</c><00:45:39.139><c> devout</c><00:45:39.500><c> and</c><00:45:39.719><c> committed</c><00:45:39.980><c> people.</c>

00:45:41.980 --> 00:45:44.980
And<00:45:42.539><c> all</c><00:45:42.980><c> the</c><00:45:43.219><c> arrangements</c><00:45:43.619><c> here</c><00:45:44.079><c> this</c><00:45:44.320><c> morning</c><00:45:44.539><c> contribute</c>

00:45:44.980 --> 00:45:45.360
to<00:45:45.219><c> that.</c>

00:45:45.360 --> 00:45:47.559
And<00:45:45.500><c> we're</c><00:45:45.679><c> here</c><00:45:45.840><c> with</c><00:45:46.019><c> that</c><00:45:46.239><c> kind</c><00:45:46.360><c> of</c><00:45:46.480><c> an</c><00:45:46.639><c> attitude.</c>

00:45:48.079 --> 00:45:52.300
But<00:45:48.599><c> when</c><00:45:48.760><c> you</c><00:45:48.900><c> go</c><00:45:49.139><c> home,</c><00:45:50.420><c> you</c><00:45:50.539><c> take</c><00:45:50.739><c> off</c><00:45:51.039><c> the</c><00:45:51.280><c> tie</c><00:45:51.579><c> and</c><00:45:51.840><c> coat</c>

00:45:52.300 --> 00:45:53.400

00:45:58.559 --> 00:46:00.719
In<00:45:58.719><c> other</c><00:45:58.860><c> words,</c><00:45:59.059><c> are</c><00:45:59.199><c> the</c><00:45:59.400><c> same</c><00:45:59.639><c> principles</c><00:46:00.019><c> and</c><00:46:00.300><c> values</c>

00:46:01.760 --> 00:46:03.639
And<00:46:01.840><c> are</c><00:46:01.980><c> they</c><00:46:02.119><c> just</c><00:46:02.300><c> as</c><00:46:02.599><c> important?</c>

00:46:06.460 --> 00:46:11.139
Many<00:46:06.840><c> people</c><00:46:07.219><c> were</c><00:46:07.860><c> coming</c><00:46:08.139><c> and</c><00:46:08.440><c> going</c><00:46:08.920><c> that</c><00:46:10.059><c> they</c><00:46:10.219><c> did</c><00:46:10.440><c> not</c><00:46:10.599><c> even</c><00:46:10.800><c> have</c><00:46:10.960><c> a</c>

00:46:11.980 --> 00:46:16.159
So<00:46:12.980><c> Jesus</c><00:46:13.300><c> said</c><00:46:13.519><c> to</c><00:46:13.639><c> them,</c><00:46:14.400><c> come</c><00:46:14.400><c> with</c><00:46:14.699><c> Me</c><00:46:15.099><c> by</c><00:46:15.400><c> yourselves</c><00:46:15.900><c> to</c>

00:46:16.159 --> 00:46:19.039
a<00:46:16.440><c> quiet</c><00:46:16.780><c> place</c><00:46:17.400><c> and</c><00:46:18.239><c> get</c><00:46:18.420><c> some</c><00:46:18.659><c> rest.</c>

00:46:19.059 --> 00:46:23.639
And<00:46:19.199><c> I'm</c><00:46:19.320><c> reading</c><00:46:19.519><c> now</c><00:46:19.800><c> from</c><00:46:20.000><c> Mark</c><00:46:20.239><c> chapter</c><00:46:20.639><c> 6,</c><00:46:22.219><c> verse</c><00:46:22.500><c> 32.</c>

00:46:24.019 --> 00:46:29.199
So<00:46:24.019><c> He</c><00:46:24.199><c> went</c><00:46:24.420><c> away</c><00:46:25.039><c> by</c><00:46:25.840><c> themselves</c><00:46:26.519><c> in</c><00:46:26.840><c> a</c><00:46:26.980><c> boat</c><00:46:27.159><c> to</c><00:46:27.380><c> a</c><00:46:27.639><c> solitary</c><00:46:28.039><c> place.</c>

00:46:29.480 --> 00:46:32.079
But<00:46:29.659><c> many</c><00:46:29.920><c> who</c><00:46:30.199><c> saw</c><00:46:30.360><c> them</c><00:46:30.619><c> leaving</c><00:46:30.860><c> recognized</c><00:46:31.480><c> them</c><00:46:31.719><c> and</c><00:46:31.960><c> ran</c>

00:46:32.079 --> 00:46:36.179
on<00:46:32.440><c> foot</c><00:46:34.579><c> from</c><00:46:35.199><c> all</c><00:46:35.519><c> the</c><00:46:35.739><c> towns</c>

00:46:36.179 --> 00:46:38.099
and<00:46:36.780><c> got</c><00:46:37.059><c> there</c><00:46:37.280><c> ahead</c><00:46:37.460><c> of</c><00:46:37.699><c> Him.</c>

00:46:38.099 --> 00:46:41.599
When<00:46:38.960><c> Jesus</c><00:46:39.340><c> landed,</c><00:46:39.780><c> He</c><00:46:39.940><c> saw</c><00:46:40.179><c> a</c><00:46:40.400><c> large</c><00:46:40.639><c> crowd.</c>

00:46:42.000 --> 00:46:46.659
He<00:46:42.139><c> had</c><00:46:42.380><c> compassion</c><00:46:42.980><c> on</c><00:46:43.179><c> them</c><00:46:43.420><c> because</c><00:46:43.960><c> they</c><00:46:44.159><c> were</c><00:46:44.360><c> like</c><00:46:44.800><c> sheep</c><00:46:45.099><c> without</c><00:46:45.519><c> a</c><00:46:45.780><c> shepherd.</c>

00:46:46.699 --> 00:46:50.400
So<00:46:46.960><c> He</c><00:46:47.159><c> began</c><00:46:47.619><c> teaching</c><00:46:48.079><c> them</c><00:46:48.860><c> many</c><00:46:49.239><c> things.</c>

00:46:50.420 --> 00:46:53.300
There<00:46:50.539><c> was</c><00:46:50.719><c> no</c><00:46:50.940><c> offline,</c><00:46:51.960><c> no</c><00:46:52.179><c> off</c><00:46:52.380><c> the</c><00:46:52.539><c> record</c><00:46:52.719><c> for</c><00:46:52.940><c> Jesus.</c>

00:46:53.360 --> 00:46:56.639
He<00:46:53.480><c> might</c><00:46:53.699><c> have</c><00:46:53.860><c> a</c><00:46:54.139><c> quiet</c><00:46:54.420><c> moment</c><00:46:54.820><c> for</c><00:46:55.099><c> a</c><00:46:55.179><c> short</c><00:46:55.400><c> time</c><00:46:56.000><c> in</c><00:46:56.380><c> a</c>

solitary<00:46:57.000><c> place</c><00:46:57.579><c> with</c><00:46:58.079><c> His</c><00:46:58.260><c> disciples.</c>

00:46:58.800 --> 00:47:02.579
But<00:46:59.039><c> soon</c><00:46:59.599><c> the</c><00:47:00.079><c> demands</c><00:47:00.719><c> of</c><00:47:01.320><c> His</c><00:47:01.639><c> calling</c><00:47:01.840><c> were</c><00:47:02.099><c> there</c><00:47:02.380><c> and</c><00:47:02.480><c> He</c>

00:47:02.579 --> 00:47:04.440
would<00:47:02.800><c> deal</c><00:47:03.000><c> with</c><00:47:03.179><c> the</c><00:47:03.380><c> people</c><00:47:03.920><c> with,</c>

00:47:04.440 --> 00:47:06.820
it<00:47:04.719><c> says,</c><00:47:05.360><c> compassion.</c>

00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:11.619
He<00:47:08.179><c> didn't</c><00:47:08.400><c> run</c><00:47:08.719><c> out</c><00:47:08.940><c> of</c><00:47:09.039><c> gas</c><00:47:09.260><c> so</c><00:47:09.500><c> that</c><00:47:10.179><c> He</c><00:47:11.000><c> would</c><00:47:11.199><c> deal</c><00:47:11.460><c> with</c>

00:47:11.619 --> 00:47:14.019
them<00:47:11.719><c> in</c><00:47:11.920><c> frustration</c><00:47:12.619><c> and</c><00:47:13.019><c> exasperation</c>

00:47:14.019 --> 00:47:16.320
and<00:47:14.739><c> limited</c><00:47:15.119><c> patience.</c>

00:47:17.420 --> 00:47:21.119
The<00:47:17.539><c> same</c><00:47:18.079><c> true</c><00:47:19.380><c> Lord</c><00:47:20.179><c> Jesus</c><00:47:20.579><c> is</c><00:47:20.940><c> there.</c>

00:47:21.139 --> 00:47:22.699
There's<00:47:21.380><c> no</c><00:47:21.619><c> flaw</c><00:47:21.840><c> in</c><00:47:21.980><c> this</c><00:47:22.099><c> situation.</c>

00:47:22.840 --> 00:47:24.900
He<00:47:22.980><c> doesn't</c><00:47:23.199><c> go</c><00:47:23.440><c> to</c><00:47:23.579><c> a</c><00:47:23.719><c> place</c><00:47:23.940><c> and</c><00:47:24.139><c> behave</c><00:47:24.420><c> differently.</c>

00:47:25.400 --> 00:47:28.000
As<00:47:25.639><c> soon</c><00:47:25.760><c> as</c><00:47:25.900><c> He</c><00:47:26.000><c> sees</c><00:47:26.239><c> the</c><00:47:26.460><c> need,</c><00:47:26.559><c> He</c><00:47:26.840><c> responds.</c>

00:47:28.760 --> 00:47:32.579
The<00:47:29.360><c> second</c><00:47:29.579><c> example,</c><00:47:30.099><c> John</c><00:47:30.619><c> chapter</c><00:47:31.219><c> 11.</c>

The<00:47:36.219><c> death</c><00:47:36.579><c> of</c><00:47:36.880><c> Lazarus.</c>

00:47:38.760 --> 00:47:41.539
Here<00:47:39.159><c> is</c><00:47:39.739><c> a</c><00:47:39.940><c> trying</c><00:47:40.239><c> situation.</c>

00:47:41.880 --> 00:47:45.039
The<00:47:42.079><c> Lord</c><00:47:42.500><c> Himself</c><00:47:43.519><c> was</c><00:47:43.699><c> in</c><00:47:43.940><c> control.</c>

00:47:45.059 --> 00:47:46.800
He<00:47:45.360><c> knew</c><00:47:45.559><c> that</c><00:47:45.719><c> He</c><00:47:45.780><c> had</c><00:47:45.960><c> the</c><00:47:46.059><c> power</c><00:47:46.340><c> of</c><00:47:46.619><c> God.</c>

00:47:46.840 --> 00:47:49.119
He<00:47:46.960><c> knew</c><00:47:47.119><c> the</c><00:47:47.360><c> outcome</c><00:47:47.659><c> of</c><00:47:47.840><c> the</c><00:47:47.920><c> situation.</c>

00:47:49.280 --> 00:47:55.320
But<00:47:49.880><c> what</c><00:47:50.219><c> is</c><00:47:50.500><c> it</c><00:47:50.960><c> to</c><00:47:51.179><c> go</c><00:47:51.460><c> into</c><00:47:51.940><c> a</c><00:47:52.860><c> community</c><00:47:53.280><c> of</c><00:47:53.579><c> people</c><00:47:54.039><c> who</c>
