00:26:27.299 --> 00:26:29.819
We<00:26:27.700><c> trusted</c><00:26:28.099><c> that</c><00:26:28.319><c> this</c><00:26:28.539><c> was</c><00:26:28.740><c> the</c><00:26:28.880><c> one</c><00:26:29.079><c> who</c><00:26:29.200><c> would</c><00:26:29.420><c> deliver</c><00:26:29.680><c> us.</c>

00:34:03.700 --> 00:34:05.740

00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:09.920
We've<00:34:08.119><c> learned</c><00:34:08.320><c> much</c><00:34:08.579><c> about</c><00:34:08.960><c> ourselves,</c>

00:34:12.460 --> 00:34:17.460
when<00:34:12.579><c> we've</c><00:34:13.280><c> looked</c><00:34:13.739><c> at</c><00:34:14.559><c> these</c><00:34:15.420><c> ordinary</c><00:34:16.239><c> people,</c>

00:34:26.760 --> 00:34:28.780
We<00:34:26.900><c> draw</c><00:34:27.059><c> comfort</c><00:34:27.400><c> from</c><00:34:27.679><c> the</c><00:34:27.880><c> fact,</c>

and<00:34:35.539><c> that</c><00:34:35.699><c> they</c><00:34:36.019><c> changed</c><00:34:36.500><c> from</c><00:34:36.800><c> being</c><00:34:37.000><c> people</c><00:34:37.280><c> like</c><00:34:37.539><c> us,</c>

Wonderful<00:34:45.039><c> brethren</c><00:34:45.440><c> and</c><00:34:45.780><c> sisters,</c>

00:34:46.300 --> 00:34:50.050
what<00:34:46.380><c> we</c><00:34:49.239><c> are,</c>

00:34:51.820 --> 00:34:53.840
God<00:34:52.119><c> sees</c><00:34:52.539><c> and</c><00:34:52.860><c> knows,</c>

00:34:54.659 --> 00:34:56.280
but<00:34:54.780><c> he</c><00:34:55.119><c> also</c><00:34:55.619><c> sees,</c>

00:34:56.760 --> 00:34:59.119
what<00:34:56.980><c> we</c><00:34:57.260><c> have</c><00:34:57.420><c> the</c><00:34:57.679><c> potential</c><00:34:58.039><c> to</c><00:34:58.300><c> be.</c>

00:34:59.980 --> 00:35:03.239
He<00:35:00.260><c> saw</c><00:35:00.480><c> what</c><00:35:01.000><c> the</c><00:35:01.219><c> sons</c><00:35:01.400><c> of</c><00:35:01.719><c> thunder</c><00:35:01.980><c> would</c><00:35:02.239><c> become,</c>

00:35:04.260 --> 00:35:07.099
and<00:35:04.340><c> they</c><00:35:04.559><c> became</c><00:35:04.840><c> exactly</c><00:35:05.320><c> what</c><00:35:05.460><c> he</c><00:35:05.659><c> knew</c><00:35:05.780><c> they</c><00:35:05.880><c> would</c><00:35:06.159><c> become.</c>

00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:11.599
Let<00:35:09.440><c> us</c><00:35:09.760><c> strive</c><00:35:10.119><c> to</c><00:35:10.460><c> change.</c>

00:35:12.400 --> 00:35:13.739
The<00:35:12.519><c> Lord</c><00:35:12.679><c> will</c><00:35:12.860><c> be</c><00:35:13.059><c> here</c><00:35:13.260><c> soon.</c>

00:35:13.739 --> 00:35:17.389
Let<00:35:14.920><c> us</c><00:35:15.199><c> listen</c><00:35:15.539><c> to</c><00:35:15.780><c> the</c><00:35:16.400><c> conversation,</c>

00:35:18.320 --> 00:35:24.019
between<00:35:19.300><c> the</c><00:35:20.280><c> master</c><00:35:21.079><c> and</c><00:35:22.119><c> the</c><00:35:22.420><c> disciple</c><00:35:22.780><c> he</c><00:35:23.119><c> loved,</c>

00:35:24.519 --> 00:35:27.519
the<00:35:24.719><c> last</c><00:35:25.139><c> conversation</c><00:35:25.780><c> recorded</c><00:35:26.219><c> in</c><00:35:26.519><c> scripture,</c>

00:35:28.079 --> 00:35:30.639

00:35:32.699 --> 00:35:34.860
Surely,<00:35:33.420><c> Jesus</c><00:35:33.800><c> says,</c>

00:35:35.059 --> 00:35:38.400
surely,<00:35:36.599><c> I</c><00:35:36.880><c> come</c><00:35:37.179><c> quickly.</c>

00:35:39.079 --> 00:35:40.119
Amen.

John<00:35:41.639><c> says,</c>

00:35:42.219 --> 00:35:46.139
for<00:35:43.039><c> us,</c><00:35:44.440><c> even</c><00:35:44.900><c> so,</c>

00:35:46.860 --> 00:35:49.619
