00:04:23.660 --> 00:04:26.259

00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:32.639
It's<00:11:30.659><c> just</c><00:11:30.919><c> a</c><00:11:31.120><c> Bible</c><00:11:31.340><c> school,</c><00:11:31.860><c> the</c><00:11:31.940><c> same</c><00:11:32.100><c> of</c><00:11:32.360><c> this,</c>

00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:36.559
the<00:11:33.200><c> only</c><00:11:33.340><c> thing</c><00:11:33.500><c> is</c><00:11:33.700><c> we're</c><00:11:34.039><c> tucked</c><00:11:34.200><c> away</c><00:11:34.539><c> in</c><00:11:34.740><c> a</c><00:11:35.059><c> small</c><00:11:35.320><c> college,</c>

00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:39.899
we<00:11:37.659><c> can</c><00:11:37.860><c> just</c><00:11:38.080><c> about</c><00:11:38.379><c> squeeze</c><00:11:38.659><c> 120</c><00:11:39.440><c> in,</c>

00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:42.120
so<00:11:40.179><c> we're</c><00:11:40.279><c> not</c><00:11:40.480><c> quite</c><00:11:40.720><c> able</c><00:11:40.919><c> to</c><00:11:41.159><c> take</c><00:11:41.299><c> whole</c><00:11:41.600><c> families,</c>

00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:43.820
anyway<00:11:42.600><c> it</c><00:11:42.759><c> would</c><00:11:42.779><c> be</c><00:11:42.919><c> a</c><00:11:42.980><c> bit</c><00:11:43.139><c> of</c><00:11:43.340><c> a</c><00:11:43.340><c> problem</c><00:11:43.539><c> to</c><00:11:43.700><c> know</c>

00:11:43.820 --> 00:11:45.159
what<00:11:43.940><c> to</c><00:11:44.100><c> do</c><00:11:44.259><c> with</c><00:11:44.419><c> them</c><00:11:44.519><c> in</c><00:11:44.639><c> the</c><00:11:44.840><c> afternoon,</c>

00:11:45.259 --> 00:11:46.600
because<00:11:45.340><c> we</c><00:11:45.419><c> haven't</c><00:11:45.539><c> got</c><00:11:45.799><c> playing</c><00:11:46.139><c> fields.</c>

00:11:47.100 --> 00:11:49.820
That's<00:11:47.259><c> the</c><00:11:47.320><c> only</c><00:11:47.460><c> difference</c><00:11:47.860><c> really,</c><00:11:48.379><c> it's</c><00:11:48.600><c> just</c><00:11:48.820><c> Wilbraham.</c>

00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.139
Perhaps<00:11:50.179><c> the</c><00:11:50.399><c> other</c><00:11:50.559><c> thing</c><00:11:50.759><c> is</c><00:11:50.899><c> if</c><00:11:51.059><c> we</c><00:11:51.200><c> have</c><00:11:51.360><c> to</c><00:11:51.559><c> work</c><00:11:51.779><c> hard</c>

00:11:54.940 --> 00:11:57.179

00:11:57.320 --> 00:12:00.000

So<00:20:25.299><c> there</c><00:20:25.480><c> must</c><00:20:25.900><c> be</c><00:20:26.220><c> something</c><00:20:26.599><c> else.</c>

00:20:28.779 --> 00:20:31.839

00:20:45.900 --> 00:20:48.859
In<00:20:46.140><c> his</c><00:20:46.599><c> death</c><00:20:47.000><c> our</c><00:20:47.559><c> sins</c><00:20:47.980><c> are</c><00:20:48.519><c> dead,</c>

00:20:58.759 --> 00:21:00.619
all<00:20:58.960><c> humanity</c><00:20:59.480><c> died</c><00:20:59.839><c> there</c><00:21:00.119><c> with</c><00:21:00.279><c> him,</c>

00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:03.759

00:21:08.420 --> 00:21:10.579
So<00:21:08.660><c> we</c><00:21:08.980><c> have</c><00:21:09.480><c> died</c><00:21:10.000><c> to</c><00:21:10.359><c> sin.</c>

00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:12.579
We'll<00:21:10.859><c> say</c><00:21:10.940><c> a</c><00:21:11.019><c> bit</c><00:21:11.220><c> more</c><00:21:11.519><c> about</c><00:21:11.759><c> that</c><00:21:12.019><c> aspect</c>

00:21:12.579 --> 00:21:13.920
one<00:21:13.000><c> of</c><00:21:13.119><c> the</c><00:21:13.279><c> other</c><00:21:13.500><c> mornings,</c>

00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:16.779
but<00:21:14.440><c> that's</c><00:21:15.420><c> the</c><00:21:15.559><c> general</c><00:21:16.140><c> concept,</c>

00:21:16.779 --> 00:21:18.440
that<00:21:16.940><c> he's</c><00:21:17.319><c> our</c><00:21:17.619><c> representative,</c>

00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:22.299
that<00:21:18.980><c> we're</c><00:21:19.359><c> in</c><00:21:19.599><c> him</c><00:21:20.000><c> at</c><00:21:20.339><c> the</c><00:21:20.559><c> time</c><00:21:20.819><c> that</c><00:21:21.000><c> he</c><00:21:21.180><c> dies.</c>

00:21:23.380 --> 00:21:25.940
Now,<00:21:24.319><c> some</c><00:21:24.700><c> make</c><00:21:25.059><c> that</c><00:21:25.420><c> legal,</c>

00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:27.519
and<00:21:26.259><c> say,</c><00:21:26.299><c> oh</c><00:21:26.420><c> yes,</c><00:21:26.539><c> we</c><00:21:26.680><c> were</c><00:21:26.940><c> in</c><00:21:27.099><c> him,</c>

00:21:27.740 --> 00:21:28.799
and<00:21:27.839><c> he</c><00:21:28.039><c> was</c><00:21:28.279><c> in</c><00:21:28.400><c> us,</c>

00:21:28.900 --> 00:21:31.960
because<00:21:29.160><c> he</c><00:21:29.420><c> came</c><00:21:29.799><c> under</c><00:21:30.160><c> the</c><00:21:30.460><c> sentence</c><00:21:31.099><c> of</c><00:21:31.559><c> death,</c>

00:21:32.380 --> 00:21:37.339
the<00:21:32.660><c> original</c><00:21:33.200><c> sin</c><00:21:33.680><c> of</c><00:21:34.380><c> Adam,</c><00:21:35.319><c> Jesus,</c><00:21:36.759><c> legally,</c>

00:21:37.420 --> 00:21:40.039
because<00:21:37.740><c> he</c><00:21:37.900><c> was</c><00:21:38.240><c> born</c><00:21:38.640><c> of</c><00:21:38.980><c> a</c><00:21:39.180><c> woman,</c>

legally<00:21:40.559><c> inherited</c><00:21:41.359><c> that</c><00:21:42.180><c> sin,</c>

00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:45.900
and<00:21:42.779><c> had</c><00:21:42.980><c> to</c><00:21:43.579><c> die</c><00:21:43.980><c> for</c><00:21:44.460><c> that</c><00:21:44.940><c> sin.</c>

00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:48.140
That's<00:21:46.599><c> a</c><00:21:46.680><c> bit</c><00:21:46.880><c> too</c><00:21:47.099><c> mechanical.</c>

00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:51.640
Others<00:21:48.759><c> have</c><00:21:49.259><c> said,</c><00:21:49.480><c> yes,</c><00:21:49.599><c> he</c><00:21:49.740><c> was</c><00:21:50.000><c> our</c><00:21:50.359><c> representative,</c>

00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:53.880
and<00:21:51.940><c> he</c><00:21:52.559><c> substituted</c><00:21:53.180><c> for</c><00:21:53.619><c> us.</c>

00:21:54.380 --> 00:21:56.819
Now<00:21:54.680><c> generally</c><00:21:55.019><c> that's</c><00:21:55.740><c> unsatisfactory,</c>

00:21:57.200 --> 00:21:59.319

00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:01.099
You<00:21:59.740><c> know,</c><00:21:59.880><c> I</c><00:21:59.920><c> have</c><00:22:00.119><c> read</c><00:22:00.299><c> a</c><00:22:00.500><c> book,</c>

The<00:22:03.700><c> Death</c><00:22:03.900><c> of</c><00:22:04.119><c> Christ,</c>

00:22:05.619 --> 00:22:10.059
the<00:22:05.779><c> way</c><00:22:06.099><c> he</c><00:22:06.700><c> explains</c><00:22:07.019><c> what</c><00:22:07.380><c> he</c><00:22:07.839><c> means</c><00:22:08.380><c> by</c><00:22:08.740><c> substitution,</c>

00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:12.200

00:22:12.259 --> 00:22:13.799
well<00:22:12.440><c> if</c><00:22:12.700><c> that's</c><00:22:13.039><c> what</c><00:22:13.200><c> he</c><00:22:13.440><c> means,</c>

00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:15.119
I<00:22:14.220><c> wouldn't</c><00:22:14.500><c> argue</c><00:22:14.839><c> with</c><00:22:15.000><c> him.</c>

00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:16.700
So<00:22:15.339><c> you</c><00:22:15.400><c> see,</c><00:22:15.500><c> when</c><00:22:15.700><c> you</c><00:22:15.920><c> discuss</c><00:22:16.339><c> this,</c>

00:22:16.700 --> 00:22:21.019

If<00:22:46.039><c> only</c><00:22:46.259><c> we</c><00:22:46.359><c> could</c><00:22:46.539><c> do</c><00:22:46.759><c> that</c><00:22:47.119><c> in</c><00:22:47.400><c> the</c><00:22:47.519><c> whole</c><00:22:47.660><c> of</c><00:22:47.839><c> our</c><00:22:48.000><c> community,</c>

00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:51.920
then<00:22:48.920><c> some</c><00:22:49.240><c> of</c><00:22:49.420><c> our</c><00:22:49.619><c> regrettable</c><00:22:50.079><c> divisions</c><00:22:50.539><c> would</c><00:22:50.799><c> disappear.</c>

00:22:52.619 --> 00:22:58.599
Well<00:22:52.700><c> now,</c><00:22:54.480><c> in</c><00:22:54.500><c> the</c><00:22:56.180><c> dealing</c><00:22:56.440><c> with</c><00:22:56.700><c> the</c><00:22:57.299><c> representative</c><00:22:58.200><c> view,</c>

00:22:58.619 --> 00:23:02.880
which<00:22:58.819><c> I</c><00:22:58.920><c> think</c><00:22:59.119><c> is</c><00:22:59.279><c> the</c><00:22:59.440><c> one</c><00:22:59.640><c> that</c><00:23:00.660><c> preserves</c><00:23:01.220><c> most</c><00:23:01.579><c> of</c><00:23:01.779><c> the</c><00:23:01.980><c> truths,</c>

00:23:03.099 --> 00:23:07.720
even<00:23:03.380><c> there</c><00:23:03.799><c> you</c><00:23:04.079><c> have</c><00:23:04.359><c> all</c><00:23:04.779><c> kinds</c><00:23:05.180><c> of</c><00:23:05.660><c> aspects</c><00:23:06.160><c> to</c><00:23:06.480><c> look</c><00:23:06.680><c> at.</c>

00:23:07.980 --> 00:23:11.859
Sometimes<00:23:08.519><c> we</c><00:23:08.720><c> are</c><00:23:08.980><c> told</c><00:23:09.259><c> that</c><00:23:09.640><c> human</c><00:23:09.940><c> nature</c><00:23:10.339><c> is</c><00:23:10.720><c> depraved,</c>

00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:13.980
and<00:23:12.400><c> in</c><00:23:12.539><c> one</c><00:23:12.700><c> way</c><00:23:12.859><c> it</c><00:23:13.140><c> is.</c>

00:23:13.980 --> 00:23:18.019
We<00:23:14.519><c> all</c><00:23:14.880><c> know</c><00:23:15.220><c> the</c><00:23:15.700><c> sin</c><00:23:15.880><c> and</c><00:23:16.119><c> the</c><00:23:16.380><c> plague</c><00:23:16.700><c> of</c><00:23:16.920><c> our</c><00:23:17.160><c> own</c><00:23:17.480><c> heart.</c>

00:23:18.460 --> 00:23:20.180
Yet<00:23:18.599><c> there</c><00:23:18.779><c> must</c><00:23:19.000><c> be</c><00:23:19.140><c> something</c><00:23:19.460><c> in</c><00:23:19.759><c> human</c><00:23:19.920><c> nature</c>

00:23:20.180 --> 00:23:25.839
that<00:23:20.400><c> is</c><00:23:21.160><c> responsive</c><00:23:22.160><c> when</c><00:23:22.680><c> touched</c><00:23:23.720><c> by</c><00:23:24.160><c> the</c><00:23:24.319><c> appeal</c><00:23:24.559><c> of</c><00:23:24.819><c> Christ.</c>

00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:29.319
So<00:23:26.059><c> be</c><00:23:26.240><c> careful</c><00:23:26.640><c> that</c><00:23:26.799><c> we</c><00:23:26.960><c> just</c><00:23:27.220><c> don't</c><00:23:27.559><c> treat</c><00:23:28.180><c> human</c><00:23:28.579><c> nature</c><00:23:28.980><c> flesh</c>

00:23:34.299 --> 00:23:36.240
There's<00:23:34.559><c> something</c><00:23:34.920><c> there,</c><00:23:35.819><c> God</c><00:23:36.039><c> said,</c>

00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:39.759

00:23:43.839 --> 00:23:48.339
doesn't<00:23:44.359><c> usually,</c><00:23:45.000><c> that's</c><00:23:45.240><c> why</c><00:23:45.400><c> we</c><00:23:45.660><c> tend</c><00:23:46.119><c> to</c><00:23:46.420><c> say</c><00:23:46.579><c> it's</c><00:23:46.980><c> depraved.</c>

00:23:48.819 --> 00:23:52.059
But<00:23:48.920><c> you</c><00:23:49.059><c> see,</c><00:23:49.400><c> there</c><00:23:49.500><c> is</c><00:23:49.740><c> one</c><00:23:50.000><c> view</c><00:23:50.420><c> under</c><00:23:51.000><c> the</c><00:23:51.220><c> representative</c><00:23:51.799><c> view</c>

00:24:01.319 --> 00:24:03.980

Jesus<00:25:26.880><c> was</c><00:25:28.000><c> the</c><00:25:28.240><c> Son</c><00:25:28.720><c> of</c><00:25:29.000><c> God,</c><00:25:30.079><c> the</c><00:25:30.380><c> heir</c><00:25:30.579><c> of</c><00:25:30.799><c> all</c><00:25:31.059><c> things.</c>

00:25:31.940 --> 00:25:37.539
And<00:25:33.079><c> we</c><00:25:33.279><c> must</c><00:25:33.700><c> preserve</c><00:25:34.480><c> the</c><00:25:34.859><c> truth</c><00:25:35.299><c> that</c><00:25:35.900><c> it</c><00:25:36.259><c> was</c><00:25:36.640><c> a</c><00:25:37.200><c> free</c>

00:25:37.539 --> 00:25:40.420
and<00:25:38.160><c> voluntary</c><00:25:38.660><c> and</c><00:25:39.299><c> willing</c><00:25:39.720><c> offering</c>

00:25:40.420 --> 00:25:43.700
so<00:25:41.059><c> that</c><00:25:41.220><c> we</c><00:25:41.339><c> may</c><00:25:41.539><c> preserve</c><00:25:42.359><c> our</c><00:25:42.759><c> love</c><00:25:42.960><c> of</c><00:25:43.180><c> Christ</c>

00:25:43.700 --> 00:25:45.359
and<00:25:44.200><c> our</c><00:25:44.480><c> love</c><00:25:44.759><c> of</c><00:25:45.079><c> God.</c>

00:25:45.779 --> 00:25:48.940
We<00:25:46.059><c> get</c><00:25:46.240><c> this</c><00:25:46.519><c> in</c><00:25:46.779><c> John</c><00:25:47.279><c> chapter</c><00:25:47.779><c> 10.</c>

00:25:48.940 --> 00:25:59.099
John<00:25:50.240><c> chapter</c><00:25:50.660><c> 10,</c><00:25:52.559><c> where</c><00:25:52.700><c> in</c><00:25:56.460><c> verse</c><00:25:57.400><c> 17,</c>

00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:05.779
Therefore<00:26:03.059><c> doth</c><00:26:03.640><c> my</c><00:26:04.000><c> Father</c><00:26:04.460><c> love</c><00:26:04.859><c> me,</c>

00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:10.759
because<00:26:06.279><c> I</c><00:26:06.839><c> lay</c><00:26:07.099><c> down</c><00:26:07.519><c> my</c><00:26:07.940><c> life</c><00:26:08.359><c> that</c><00:26:08.579><c> I</c><00:26:08.960><c> might</c><00:26:09.279><c> take</c><00:26:09.599><c> it</c><00:26:09.839><c> again.</c>

00:26:11.299 --> 00:26:17.220
No<00:26:11.720><c> man</c><00:26:12.119><c> taketh</c><00:26:12.420><c> it</c><00:26:12.700><c> from</c><00:26:12.940><c> me,</c><00:26:13.940><c> but</c><00:26:14.279><c> I</c><00:26:14.680><c> lay</c><00:26:14.880><c> it</c><00:26:15.259><c> down</c><00:26:15.700><c> of</c><00:26:16.200><c> myself.</c>

00:26:17.220 --> 00:26:23.180
I<00:26:18.339><c> have</c><00:26:18.619><c> power</c><00:26:19.160><c> to</c><00:26:19.380><c> lay</c><00:26:19.599><c> it</c><00:26:19.960><c> down,</c><00:26:20.579><c> I</c><00:26:21.240><c> have</c><00:26:21.619><c> power</c><00:26:22.079><c> to</c><00:26:22.380><c> take</c><00:26:22.519><c> it</c><00:26:22.779><c> again.</c>

00:26:23.660 --> 00:26:26.880
This<00:26:23.940><c> commandment</c><00:26:24.579><c> have</c><00:26:24.740><c> I</c><00:26:24.960><c> received</c><00:26:25.400><c> of</c><00:26:25.640><c> my</c><00:26:25.859><c> Father.</c>

00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:32.200
Power<00:26:27.880><c> to</c><00:26:28.220><c> take</c><00:26:28.500><c> it</c><00:26:28.799><c> again,</c><00:26:29.799><c> power</c><00:26:30.299><c> to</c><00:26:30.700><c> lay</c><00:26:30.880><c> it</c><00:26:31.279><c> down.</c>

00:26:32.339 --> 00:26:34.480
It's<00:26:32.740><c> a</c><00:26:32.900><c> voluntary</c><00:26:33.440><c> offering.</c>

00:26:34.740 --> 00:26:36.920
Now<00:26:34.980><c> sometimes</c><00:26:35.279><c> we</c><00:26:35.519><c> have</c><00:26:35.740><c> a</c><00:26:35.980><c> catchphrase,</c>

00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:40.380
Jesus<00:26:37.740><c> had</c><00:26:38.160><c> to</c><00:26:38.420><c> die</c><00:26:38.720><c> because</c><00:26:39.180><c> he</c><00:26:39.420><c> had</c><00:26:39.759><c> sin</c><00:26:39.960><c> nature.</c>

00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:42.059
We<00:26:40.680><c> say</c><00:26:40.799><c> he</c><00:26:41.059><c> had</c><00:26:41.440><c> to</c><00:26:41.720><c> die.</c>

00:26:42.460 --> 00:26:44.279
The<00:26:42.619><c> moment</c><00:26:42.819><c> we've</c><00:26:43.099><c> said</c><00:26:43.240><c> had</c><00:26:43.680><c> to,</c>

00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:48.180
then<00:26:45.279><c> we've</c><00:26:45.519><c> got</c><00:26:45.700><c> away</c><00:26:46.039><c> a</c><00:26:46.240><c> bit</c><00:26:46.420><c> from</c><00:26:46.640><c> the</c><00:26:46.859><c> voluntary</c><00:26:47.420><c> aspect</c>

00:26:48.180 --> 00:26:49.960
that<00:26:48.380><c> he</c><00:26:48.740><c> wanted</c><00:26:49.299><c> to.</c>

00:26:50.460 --> 00:26:51.960
Now<00:26:50.640><c> I</c><00:26:50.700><c> know</c><00:26:50.859><c> why</c><00:26:51.039><c> we</c><00:26:51.279><c> say</c><00:26:51.500><c> that.</c>

00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:54.559
We<00:26:52.359><c> say</c><00:26:52.740><c> that</c><00:26:53.140><c> he</c><00:26:53.299><c> was</c><00:26:53.640><c> in</c><00:26:53.920><c> human</c><00:26:54.200><c> nature</c>

00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:58.900
and<00:26:54.859><c> human</c><00:26:55.259><c> nature</c><00:26:55.859><c> is</c><00:26:57.079><c> something</c><00:26:57.500><c> which</c><00:26:57.819><c> is</c><00:26:58.220><c> condemned</c><00:26:58.660><c> to</c>

00:26:58.900 --> 00:26:59.619
the<00:26:59.119><c> dust</c>

00:26:59.619 --> 00:27:02.420
and<00:27:00.039><c> so</c><00:27:00.240><c> he</c><00:27:00.480><c> came</c><00:27:00.740><c> into</c><00:27:01.059><c> our</c><00:27:01.619><c> situation</c>

00:27:02.420 --> 00:27:05.619
and<00:27:02.779><c> we're</c><00:27:03.000><c> frightened</c><00:27:03.400><c> of</c><00:27:03.880><c> getting</c><00:27:04.059><c> him</c><00:27:04.339><c> away</c><00:27:04.640><c> from</c><00:27:04.839><c> our</c><00:27:05.079><c> situation.</c>

00:27:05.640 --> 00:27:08.819
He<00:27:05.759><c> must</c><00:27:05.940><c> be</c><00:27:06.160><c> totally</c><00:27:06.579><c> involved</c><00:27:07.279><c> with</c><00:27:07.539><c> us</c><00:27:07.779><c> in</c><00:27:08.059><c> order</c><00:27:08.279><c> to</c><00:27:08.539><c> die</c>

00:27:08.819 --> 00:27:09.980
for<00:27:09.099><c> us.</c>

00:27:09.980 --> 00:27:14.539
Perhaps<00:27:10.759><c> it</c><00:27:10.900><c> would</c><00:27:11.140><c> be</c><00:27:11.299><c> better</c><00:27:11.500><c> to</c><00:27:11.799><c> say</c><00:27:12.160><c> he</c><00:27:13.039><c> shared</c><00:27:13.660><c> our</c><00:27:14.160><c> nature</c>

00:27:14.539 --> 00:27:17.619
that<00:27:14.740><c> he</c><00:27:14.960><c> might</c><00:27:15.259><c> be</c><00:27:15.660><c> qualified</c><00:27:16.319><c> to</c><00:27:16.680><c> die</c><00:27:16.920><c> for</c><00:27:17.240><c> us.</c>

00:27:17.940 --> 00:27:20.519
Then<00:27:18.119><c> we'd</c><00:27:18.299><c> get</c><00:27:18.400><c> rid</c><00:27:18.579><c> of</c><00:27:18.700><c> that</c><00:27:18.819><c> ugly</c><00:27:19.059><c> little</c><00:27:19.319><c> phrase</c><00:27:19.700><c> had</c><00:27:20.259><c> to,</c>

00:27:20.539 --> 00:27:22.940
which<00:27:20.720><c> we</c><00:27:20.880><c> know</c><00:27:21.059><c> what</c><00:27:21.259><c> it</c><00:27:21.480><c> means,</c><00:27:22.000><c> we</c><00:27:22.180><c> know</c><00:27:22.380><c> what</c><00:27:22.500><c> it's</c><00:27:22.779><c> trying</c>

00:27:22.940 --> 00:27:24.140
to<00:27:23.180><c> do.</c>

00:27:24.440 --> 00:27:28.279
But<00:27:24.940><c> it</c><00:27:25.440><c> isn't</c><00:27:25.700><c> a</c><00:27:25.859><c> matter</c><00:27:26.119><c> of</c><00:27:26.779><c> Jesus</c><00:27:27.339><c> just</c><00:27:28.140><c> saying,</c>

00:27:28.519 --> 00:27:30.940
well,<00:27:28.640><c> you</c><00:27:28.819><c> know,</c><00:27:28.940><c> I've</c><00:27:29.140><c> got</c><00:27:29.259><c> to</c><00:27:29.460><c> die,</c><00:27:29.559><c> I'm</c><00:27:29.799><c> human</c><00:27:30.059><c> and</c><00:27:30.259><c> that's</c><00:27:30.619><c> that.</c>

00:27:31.220 --> 00:27:32.200
That<00:27:31.440><c> isn't</c><00:27:31.619><c> the</c><00:27:31.900><c> approach.</c>

00:27:32.339 --> 00:27:36.339
The<00:27:32.539><c> approach</c><00:27:32.839><c> is</c><00:27:33.460><c> I</c><00:27:34.440><c> have</c><00:27:34.759><c> power</c><00:27:35.259><c> to</c><00:27:35.579><c> lay</c><00:27:35.700><c> it</c><00:27:36.000><c> down,</c>

00:27:36.500 --> 00:27:38.380
I<00:27:36.799><c> have</c><00:27:37.099><c> power</c><00:27:37.539><c> to</c><00:27:37.799><c> take</c><00:27:37.920><c> it</c><00:27:38.140><c> again.</c>

00:27:38.380 --> 00:27:41.559
It<00:27:38.579><c> isn't</c><00:27:38.859><c> profitable</c><00:27:39.339><c> to</c><00:27:39.700><c> speculate</c><00:27:40.279><c> what</c><00:27:40.779><c> might</c><00:27:41.119><c> have</c><00:27:41.319><c> happened</c>

00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:43.839
if<00:27:41.720><c> Jesus</c><00:27:42.099><c> had</c><00:27:42.359><c> been</c><00:27:42.519><c> the</c><00:27:42.759><c> only</c><00:27:43.039><c> one</c><00:27:43.259><c> involved.</c>

00:27:44.220 --> 00:27:47.279
Could<00:27:44.500><c> God</c><00:27:44.839><c> have</c><00:27:45.059><c> given</c><00:27:45.220><c> him</c><00:27:45.480><c> eternal</c><00:27:45.839><c> life</c><00:27:46.160><c> without</c><00:27:46.440><c> him</c><00:27:46.640><c> having</c><00:27:46.859><c> to</c><00:27:47.119><c> die</c>

00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:48.700
if<00:27:47.460><c> he'd</c><00:27:47.680><c> been</c><00:27:47.819><c> the</c><00:27:48.000><c> only</c><00:27:48.240><c> one</c><00:27:48.440><c> involved?</c>

00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:52.359
That's<00:27:49.240><c> unprofitable</c><00:27:50.140><c> because</c><00:27:50.700><c> you</c><00:27:51.240><c> can't</c><00:27:51.500><c> think</c><00:27:51.740><c> of</c><00:27:51.880><c> Jesus</c>

00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:57.779
other<00:27:52.839><c> than</c><00:27:53.519><c> the</c><00:27:53.980><c> fact</c><00:27:54.339><c> that</c><00:27:55.079><c> God</c><00:27:55.440><c> provided</c><00:27:56.220><c> him</c><00:27:56.779><c> as</c><00:27:57.440><c> the</c>

00:27:57.779 --> 00:27:59.420
sinner's<00:27:58.980><c> lamb.</c>

00:27:59.660 --> 00:28:02.700
So<00:27:59.920><c> you've</c><00:28:00.220><c> got</c><00:28:00.380><c> to</c><00:28:00.539><c> think</c><00:28:00.680><c> of</c><00:28:00.740><c> him</c><00:28:00.900><c> in</c><00:28:01.039><c> the</c><00:28:01.259><c> context</c><00:28:01.660><c> of</c><00:28:01.980><c> saving</c><00:28:02.299><c> men.</c>

00:28:03.180 --> 00:28:06.039

And<00:33:13.680><c> if</c><00:33:13.740><c> we</c><00:33:13.900><c> want</c><00:33:14.019><c> to</c><00:33:14.140><c> get</c><00:33:14.259><c> the</c><00:33:14.519><c> theory,</c>

00:33:14.859 --> 00:33:16.160
we<00:33:14.920><c> sometimes</c><00:33:15.200><c> have</c><00:33:15.359><c> to</c><00:33:15.460><c> work</c><00:33:15.700><c> backwards,</c>

00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:21.200
So<00:33:19.220><c> we</c><00:33:19.440><c> learn</c><00:33:19.759><c> of</c><00:33:19.940><c> this</c><00:33:20.259><c> altruism,</c>

00:33:27.319 --> 00:33:29.480
And<00:33:27.480><c> so</c><00:33:27.579><c> in</c><00:33:27.759><c> Philippians</c><00:33:28.180><c> 2,</c><00:33:28.720><c> what</c><00:33:28.900><c> he's</c><00:33:29.079><c> saying</c><00:33:29.319><c> is,</c>

00:33:37.180 --> 00:33:39.059
Why<00:33:37.700><c> should</c><00:33:37.940><c> you</c><00:33:38.039><c> think</c><00:33:38.240><c> of</c><00:33:38.400><c> others</c><00:33:38.539><c> all</c><00:33:38.759><c> the</c><00:33:38.880><c> time?</c>

00:34:00.099 --> 00:34:01.500
He<00:34:00.119><c> didn't,</c><00:34:00.500><c> like</c><00:34:00.680><c> Adam</c><00:34:00.900><c> and</c><00:34:01.099><c> Eve,</c>

That's<00:34:48.900><c> the</c><00:34:49.059><c> message</c><00:34:49.340><c> there.</c>

00:34:50.179 --> 00:34:51.460
He's<00:34:50.639><c> altruistic.</c>

Willingly<00:35:21.880><c> he</c><00:35:22.260><c> becomes</c><00:35:22.699><c> obedient,</c>

00:41:49.139 --> 00:41:53.059
Well,<00:41:49.340><c> not</c><00:41:49.519><c> only</c><00:41:49.739><c> did</c><00:41:49.900><c> he</c><00:41:50.320><c> share</c><00:41:50.840><c> our</c><00:41:51.820><c> sin</c><00:41:52.239><c> situation,</c>

You're<00:42:01.780><c> surrounded</c><00:42:02.519><c> by</c><00:42:02.880><c> evil.</c>

00:46:17.320 --> 00:46:18.980
You<00:46:17.480><c> couldn't</c><00:46:17.820><c> go</c><00:46:18.119><c> any</c><00:46:18.519><c> further</c>

00:46:42.440 --> 00:46:44.179

00:46:49.599 --> 00:46:51.219
faced<00:46:50.159><c> with</c><00:46:50.500><c> human</c><00:46:50.820><c> sin.</c>

00:46:51.659 --> 00:46:53.900
One,<00:46:52.480><c> destroy</c><00:46:52.880><c> them</c><00:46:53.079><c> all.</c>

00:46:54.039 --> 00:46:56.519
Two,<00:46:55.019><c> let</c><00:46:55.139><c> them</c><00:46:55.300><c> all</c><00:46:55.519><c> off.</c>

00:46:56.780 --> 00:46:58.179
Neither<00:46:57.079><c> of</c><00:46:57.320><c> those</c><00:46:57.539><c> are</c><00:46:57.719><c> very</c><00:46:57.960><c> good.</c>

00:46:58.619 --> 00:47:00.440
If<00:46:58.760><c> he</c><00:46:58.780><c> destroyed</c><00:46:59.159><c> them</c><00:46:59.420><c> all,</c><00:46:59.619><c> God</c><00:46:59.820><c> has</c><00:47:00.119><c> failed.</c>

00:47:00.760 --> 00:47:01.900
If<00:47:00.920><c> he</c><00:47:01.039><c> lets</c><00:47:01.179><c> them</c><00:47:01.380><c> all</c><00:47:01.599><c> off,</c>

00:47:01.900 --> 00:47:03.659
then<00:47:02.219><c> he's</c><00:47:02.460><c> an</c><00:47:02.699><c> indulgent</c><00:47:03.219><c> father</c>

00:47:03.659 --> 00:47:05.659
with<00:47:03.900><c> no</c><00:47:04.199><c> moral</c><00:47:04.460><c> principles.</c>

00:47:05.739 --> 00:47:06.679
So<00:47:05.860><c> what</c><00:47:06.000><c> does</c><00:47:06.159><c> he</c><00:47:06.280><c> do?</c>

00:47:07.059 --> 00:47:08.860
God<00:47:07.780><c> provides,</c>

00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:10.719
that's<00:47:09.119><c> why</c><00:47:09.280><c> we</c><00:47:09.539><c> emphasized</c><00:47:09.980><c> that</c><00:47:10.260><c> yesterday,</c>

00:47:11.119 --> 00:47:12.699
God<00:47:11.500><c> provides</c><00:47:12.099><c> the</c><00:47:12.360><c> one</c>

00:47:12.699 --> 00:47:16.460
who,<00:47:13.840><c> sharing</c><00:47:14.460><c> our</c><00:47:14.860><c> full</c><00:47:15.099><c> situation,</c>

00:47:16.500 --> 00:47:19.480
yet<00:47:16.840><c> triumphs</c><00:47:17.639><c> in</c><00:47:17.739><c> the</c><00:47:18.019><c> strength</c><00:47:18.320><c> of</c><00:47:18.579><c> God</c>

00:47:19.800 --> 00:47:23.039
over<00:47:20.519><c> that</c><00:47:21.079><c> which</c><00:47:21.559><c> slew</c><00:47:21.840><c> us.</c>

00:47:23.260 --> 00:47:25.599
So<00:47:23.460><c> you</c><00:47:23.639><c> see,</c><00:47:24.800><c> one,</c><00:47:24.940><c> one,</c>

00:47:25.780 --> 00:47:28.320
one<00:47:26.199><c> member</c><00:47:26.639><c> of</c><00:47:26.860><c> the</c><00:47:27.039><c> human</c><00:47:27.239><c> race</c>

00:47:28.599 --> 00:47:30.360
has<00:47:29.320><c> gained</c><00:47:29.559><c> a</c><00:47:29.760><c> victory</c>

00:47:30.360 --> 00:47:33.000
where<00:47:31.139><c> all</c><00:47:31.400><c> others</c><00:47:31.639><c> has</c><00:47:31.980><c> failed.</c>

00:47:33.119 --> 00:47:34.320
So<00:47:33.300><c> God</c><00:47:33.500><c> is</c><00:47:33.699><c> not</c><00:47:33.880><c> then</c><00:47:34.159><c> saying,</c>

00:47:34.500 --> 00:47:36.559
oh<00:47:34.500><c> well</c><00:47:34.679><c> I</c><00:47:34.739><c> don't</c><00:47:34.940><c> worry</c><00:47:35.239><c> about</c><00:47:35.639><c> sin,</c>

00:47:37.139 --> 00:47:38.239
I'm<00:47:37.460><c> ignoring</c><00:47:37.780><c> it.</c>

00:47:38.380 --> 00:47:39.800
And<00:47:38.559><c> God</c><00:47:38.760><c> has</c><00:47:38.940><c> not</c><00:47:39.179><c> failed</c><00:47:39.500><c> in</c><00:47:39.699><c> saying,</c>

00:47:39.900 --> 00:47:42.340
well<00:47:39.960><c> I'll</c><00:47:40.139><c> have</c><00:47:40.260><c> to</c><00:47:40.519><c> destroy</c><00:47:40.960><c> you</c><00:47:41.300><c> all.</c>

00:47:42.900 --> 00:47:45.340
Instead<00:47:43.219><c> of</c><00:47:43.440><c> that,</c><00:47:43.880><c> God</c><00:47:44.139><c> is</c><00:47:44.400><c> in</c><00:47:44.519><c> that</c><00:47:44.780><c> situation</c>

00:47:45.340 --> 00:47:47.559
where<00:47:45.480><c> he</c><00:47:45.619><c> can</c><00:47:45.900><c> point</c><00:47:46.239><c> to</c><00:47:47.039><c> the</c><00:47:47.179><c> one</c>

00:47:47.559 --> 00:47:49.920
who<00:47:47.800><c> has</c><00:47:48.139><c> triumphed</c><00:47:48.800><c> and</c><00:47:49.059><c> says,</c>

00:47:50.079 --> 00:47:52.480
you<00:47:50.340><c> come</c><00:47:50.599><c> under</c><00:47:50.980><c> his</c><00:47:51.539><c> wing.</c>

00:47:52.780 --> 00:47:55.239
You<00:47:53.340><c> share</c><00:47:53.900><c> his</c><00:47:54.599><c> victory.</c>

00:47:55.639 --> 00:47:58.300
If<00:47:55.880><c> you</c><00:47:56.159><c> come</c><00:47:56.360><c> to</c><00:47:56.619><c> me</c><00:47:56.920><c> in</c><00:47:57.420><c> his</c><00:47:57.800><c> victory,</c>

00:47:58.300 --> 00:47:59.920
I<00:47:58.900><c> will</c><00:47:59.079><c> receive</c><00:47:59.559><c> you.</c>

00:48:00.360 --> 00:48:03.900
You<00:48:00.559><c> see,</c><00:48:00.980><c> that's</c><00:48:01.380><c> the</c><00:48:01.539><c> point</c><00:48:01.780><c> of</c><00:48:02.000><c> a</c><00:48:02.219><c> sin</c><00:48:02.519><c> bearer.</c>

00:48:04.059 --> 00:48:05.960
He's<00:48:04.340><c> the</c><00:48:04.480><c> one</c><00:48:04.659><c> under</c><00:48:04.920><c> whose</c><00:48:05.159><c> wing</c><00:48:05.440><c> we</c><00:48:05.739><c> come.</c>

00:48:06.320 --> 00:48:08.019
He<00:48:06.440><c> is</c><00:48:06.659><c> the</c><00:48:06.920><c> one</c><00:48:07.239><c> who</c><00:48:07.519><c> has</c><00:48:07.780><c> done</c>

00:48:08.019 --> 00:48:09.840

00:48:09.900 --> 00:48:11.639
That's<00:48:10.079><c> why</c><00:48:10.139><c> it's</c><00:48:10.320><c> so</c><00:48:10.539><c> important</c><00:48:11.039><c> to</c><00:48:11.280><c> see</c><00:48:11.420><c> him</c>

00:48:11.639 --> 00:48:13.940
as<00:48:12.300><c> totally</c><00:48:12.760><c> involved</c><00:48:13.340><c> with</c><00:48:13.599><c> us.</c>

00:48:14.219 --> 00:48:15.960
That's<00:48:14.360><c> why</c><00:48:14.480><c> it's</c><00:48:14.739><c> so</c><00:48:15.059><c> important</c><00:48:15.420><c> to</c><00:48:15.659><c> see</c><00:48:15.820><c> him</c>

00:48:15.960 --> 00:48:18.380
not<00:48:16.260><c> as</c><00:48:16.619><c> a</c><00:48:16.920><c> demigod,</c>

00:48:18.639 --> 00:48:19.920
but<00:48:18.739><c> that</c><00:48:18.960><c> although</c><00:48:19.219><c> divine,</c>

00:48:20.219 --> 00:48:21.679
yet<00:48:20.260><c> he</c><00:48:20.340><c> was</c><00:48:20.760><c> totally</c><00:48:21.239><c> human.</c>

00:48:22.179 --> 00:48:24.440
If<00:48:22.340><c> you</c><00:48:22.559><c> still</c><00:48:22.699><c> have</c><00:48:22.940><c> problems</c><00:48:23.320><c> with</c><00:48:23.559><c> these</c><00:48:23.820><c> two</c>

00:48:24.440 --> 00:48:26.380
sides<00:48:25.099><c> of</c><00:48:25.300><c> the</c><00:48:25.420><c> Lord</c><00:48:25.599><c> Jesus</c><00:48:25.980><c> Christ,</c>

00:48:26.380 --> 00:48:29.500
then<00:48:27.320><c> just</c><00:48:27.800><c> go</c><00:48:28.019><c> on</c><00:48:28.260><c> thinking</c><00:48:28.519><c> about</c><00:48:28.880><c> them.</c>

00:48:29.760 --> 00:48:31.079
As<00:48:29.900><c> time</c><00:48:30.280><c> goes</c><00:48:30.579><c> on,</c>

00:48:31.380 --> 00:48:33.280
they<00:48:31.440><c> come</c><00:48:31.760><c> closer</c><00:48:32.219><c> and</c><00:48:32.480><c> closer</c><00:48:32.719><c> together</c>

00:48:33.280 --> 00:48:36.059
until<00:48:33.780><c> you</c><00:48:33.920><c> can</c><00:48:34.239><c> see</c><00:48:34.420><c> these</c><00:48:34.739><c> two</c><00:48:35.119><c> beams</c><00:48:35.440><c> of</c><00:48:35.699><c> light,</c>
