00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:02.879
You<00:13:00.740><c> would</c><00:13:00.919><c> be</c><00:13:01.019><c> awfully</c><00:13:01.419><c> sensitive</c><00:13:02.059><c> to</c><00:13:02.240><c> him,</c><00:13:02.480><c> wouldn't</c><00:13:02.720><c> you?</c>

00:13:07.059 --> 00:13:10.259
And<00:13:07.100><c> then,</c><00:13:07.940><c> secondarily,</c><00:13:08.559><c> you'd</c><00:13:08.840><c> be</c><00:13:09.080><c> very</c><00:13:09.440><c> sensitive</c><00:13:09.779><c> to</c><00:13:10.019><c> the</c><00:13:10.080><c> fact</c>

How<00:13:30.899><c> did</c><00:13:31.059><c> he</c><00:13:31.059><c> come</c><00:13:31.240><c> to</c><00:13:31.320><c> that</c><00:13:31.519><c> conclusion?</c>

00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:35.440
We<00:13:33.639><c> would</c><00:13:33.879><c> never</c><00:13:34.120><c> think</c><00:13:34.399><c> like</c><00:13:34.639><c> that.</c>

But<00:13:38.340><c> we</c><00:13:38.480><c> would</c><00:13:38.620><c> be</c><00:13:38.860><c> awfully</c><00:13:39.240><c> sensitive</c><00:13:39.639><c> about</c><00:13:39.840><c> those</c><00:13:40.120><c> two</c><00:13:40.299><c> people.</c>

And<00:13:40.700><c> I</c><00:13:40.879><c> believe</c><00:13:41.080><c> that</c><00:13:41.320><c> David</c><00:13:41.620><c> was</c><00:13:42.100><c> sensitive</c><00:13:42.559><c> about</c><00:13:42.840><c> those</c>

00:15:26.740 --> 00:15:28.220

00:15:46.419 --> 00:15:48.399
That's<00:15:46.720><c> why</c><00:15:46.919><c> he</c><00:15:47.080><c> went</c><00:15:47.299><c> home.</c>

00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:52.519

that<00:17:02.480><c> he</c><00:17:02.559><c> was</c><00:17:02.779><c> not</c><00:17:03.000><c> worthy</c><00:17:03.620><c> to</c><00:17:04.160><c> be</c><00:17:04.420><c> called</c><00:17:04.980><c> thy</c><00:17:05.380><c> son.</c>

00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:12.140
You<00:17:08.359><c> know,</c><00:17:08.740><c> it's</c><00:17:10.220><c> a</c><00:17:10.319><c> very</c><00:17:10.500><c> great</c><00:17:10.660><c> humility</c><00:17:11.140><c> in</c><00:17:11.339><c> that,</c><00:17:11.619><c> brethren</c><00:17:11.720><c> and</c><00:17:11.980><c> sisters,</c>

00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:15.460
because<00:17:12.500><c> if</c><00:17:12.660><c> there's</c><00:17:12.839><c> one</c><00:17:13.000><c> thing</c><00:17:13.140><c> we</c><00:17:13.400><c> want</c><00:17:13.599><c> to</c><00:17:13.759><c> be</c><00:17:13.980><c> called,</c><00:17:14.279><c> it's</c><00:17:14.539><c> the</c><00:17:14.740><c> sons</c><00:17:15.019><c> of</c><00:17:15.240><c> God.</c>

00:17:15.460 --> 00:17:17.079
As<00:17:15.599><c> John</c><00:17:15.920><c> said,</c><00:17:16.420><c> didn't</c><00:17:16.420><c> he?</c>

00:17:17.380 --> 00:17:20.480
Behold<00:17:17.740><c> what</c><00:17:18.079><c> manner</c><00:17:18.400><c> of</c><00:17:18.720><c> love</c><00:17:18.980><c> hath</c><00:17:19.180><c> bestowed</c><00:17:19.779><c> upon</c><00:17:20.079><c> us</c><00:17:20.339><c> that</c>

00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:22.740
we<00:17:20.680><c> should</c><00:17:20.819><c> be</c><00:17:21.140><c> called</c><00:17:21.519><c> the</c><00:17:22.140><c> sons</c><00:17:22.380><c> of</c><00:17:22.619><c> God.</c>

00:17:22.819 --> 00:17:24.700
Nobody<00:17:23.039><c> wants</c><00:17:23.319><c> to</c><00:17:23.500><c> turn</c><00:17:23.599><c> that</c><00:17:23.859><c> down.</c>

00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:29.299
But<00:17:25.400><c> this</c><00:17:25.680><c> boy</c><00:17:25.900><c> realized</c><00:17:26.460><c> his</c><00:17:26.720><c> unworthiness,</c><00:17:28.440><c> and</c><00:17:28.559><c> he</c><00:17:28.759><c> arose</c>

00:17:29.299 --> 00:17:31.700
and<00:17:30.519><c> came</c><00:17:30.940><c> to</c><00:17:31.180><c> his</c><00:17:31.359><c> father.</c>

00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:35.500
Now<00:17:32.200><c> this</c><00:17:32.579><c> also,</c><00:17:33.180><c> you</c><00:17:33.380><c> know,</c><00:17:33.660><c> in</c><00:17:33.779><c> the</c><00:17:34.039><c> parable,</c><00:17:35.000><c> invariably</c>

00:17:35.500 --> 00:17:38.099
when<00:17:35.700><c> people</c><00:17:35.940><c> get</c><00:17:36.160><c> to</c><00:17:36.319><c> the</c><00:17:36.440><c> point</c><00:17:36.759><c> of</c><00:17:36.940><c> the</c><00:17:37.140><c> story,</c>

00:17:38.980 --> 00:17:41.240
the<00:17:39.140><c> emphasis</c><00:17:39.460><c> immediately</c><00:17:39.920><c> comes</c><00:17:40.259><c> upon</c><00:17:40.599><c> the</c><00:17:40.839><c> reaction</c><00:17:41.079><c> of</c>

00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:41.700
the<00:17:41.460><c> father.</c>

00:17:41.700 --> 00:17:45.279
But<00:17:41.940><c> you</c><00:17:42.180><c> know,</c><00:17:42.920><c> we've</c><00:17:43.319><c> got</c><00:17:43.440><c> to</c><00:17:43.579><c> consider</c><00:17:43.900><c> what</c><00:17:44.180><c> happened.</c>

00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:49.440
Notice<00:17:46.480><c> the</c><00:17:46.680><c> father</c><00:17:47.039><c> did</c><00:17:47.440><c> not</c><00:17:47.799><c> react</c><00:17:48.299><c> first.</c>

00:17:51.059 --> 00:17:52.420
The<00:17:51.259><c> son</c><00:17:51.519><c> did.</c>

00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:55.759
He<00:17:53.279><c> arose</c><00:17:53.839><c> and</c><00:17:54.779><c> came</c><00:17:55.140><c> to</c><00:17:55.240><c> his</c><00:17:55.519><c> father.</c>

00:17:55.900 --> 00:17:59.420
And<00:17:56.119><c> herein,</c><00:17:56.619><c> brethren</c><00:17:56.759><c> and</c><00:17:57.079><c> sisters,</c><00:17:57.559><c> is</c><00:17:57.680><c> a</c><00:17:57.839><c> biblical</c><00:17:58.180><c> principle,</c><00:17:59.319><c> which</c>

00:17:59.420 --> 00:18:01.400
we<00:17:59.720><c> never</c><00:18:00.039><c> want</c><00:18:00.220><c> to</c><00:18:00.359><c> forget.</c>

00:18:01.779 --> 00:18:06.099
And<00:18:01.880><c> the</c><00:18:02.059><c> principle</c><00:18:02.319><c> is</c><00:18:02.619><c> this,</c><00:18:04.619><c> that</c><00:18:05.099><c> when</c><00:18:05.400><c> we</c><00:18:05.640><c> come</c><00:18:05.839><c> to</c><00:18:05.960><c> the</c>

00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:12.440
not<00:18:10.680><c> always</c><00:18:10.940><c> appreciate</c><00:18:11.500><c> this,</c>

00:18:12.579 --> 00:18:14.099
but<00:18:12.700><c> I</c><00:18:12.960><c> certainly</c><00:18:13.279><c> do.</c>

00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:18.720
When<00:18:14.519><c> we</c><00:18:14.700><c> come</c><00:18:14.900><c> to</c><00:18:15.019><c> the</c><00:18:15.259><c> truth,</c><00:18:16.700><c> Yahweh</c><00:18:17.099><c> takes</c><00:18:17.480><c> the</c><00:18:17.759><c> initiative.</c>

00:18:18.940 --> 00:18:21.640
God<00:18:19.200><c> in</c><00:18:19.400><c> heaven</c><00:18:19.619><c> above</c><00:18:20.039><c> will</c><00:18:20.380><c> call</c><00:18:20.720><c> us.</c>

00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:26.819
I<00:18:22.019><c> came</c><00:18:22.279><c> into</c><00:18:22.420><c> the</c><00:18:22.640><c> truth,</c><00:18:22.819><c> and</c><00:18:22.940><c> I</c><00:18:23.000><c> can</c><00:18:23.279><c> tell</c><00:18:23.359><c> you</c><00:18:23.460><c> this,</c><00:18:24.160><c> it</c><00:18:24.279><c> had</c><00:18:24.740><c> nothing</c><00:18:25.359><c> whatever</c><00:18:26.440><c> to</c>

00:18:26.819 --> 00:18:27.660
do<00:18:26.940><c> with</c><00:18:27.180><c> me.</c>

00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:33.119
I<00:18:28.279><c> had</c><00:18:28.700><c> no</c><00:18:29.039><c> desire,</c><00:18:29.920><c> no</c><00:18:30.200><c> desire,</c><00:18:31.079><c> whatever,</c><00:18:31.980><c> of</c><00:18:32.259><c> getting</c><00:18:32.579><c> to</c>

00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:33.759
know<00:18:33.240><c> the</c><00:18:33.380><c> Bible.</c>

00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:39.140
I<00:18:34.460><c> was</c><00:18:34.759><c> not</c><00:18:35.359><c> caring</c><00:18:35.980><c> for</c><00:18:36.319><c> it,</c><00:18:36.779><c> you</c><00:18:36.779><c> know,</c><00:18:37.220><c> anything</c><00:18:37.400><c> about</c><00:18:37.940><c> it.</c>

00:18:39.240 --> 00:18:42.480
So<00:18:39.420><c> it</c><00:18:39.460><c> wasn't</c><00:18:39.680><c> a</c><00:18:39.859><c> question</c><00:18:40.140><c> of</c><00:18:40.359><c> me</c><00:18:40.940><c> seeking</c><00:18:41.400><c> anything.</c>

00:18:43.660 --> 00:18:48.339
He<00:18:43.799><c> put</c><00:18:44.000><c> the</c><00:18:44.259><c> truth</c><00:18:44.519><c> right</c><00:18:44.859><c> under</c><00:18:45.140><c> my</c><00:18:45.380><c> nose</c><00:18:45.619><c> in</c><00:18:45.880><c> extraordinary</c><00:18:46.920><c> circumstances.</c>

00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:51.119
And<00:18:48.960><c> I</c><00:18:49.059><c> can</c><00:18:49.339><c> tell</c><00:18:49.440><c> you,</c><00:18:49.619><c> it</c><00:18:49.680><c> had</c><00:18:50.000><c> nothing</c><00:18:50.380><c> to</c><00:18:50.619><c> do</c><00:18:50.700><c> with</c><00:18:50.940><c> me.</c>

00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:54.140
He<00:18:51.619><c> will</c><00:18:51.940><c> not</c><00:18:52.339><c> do</c><00:18:52.759><c> that</c><00:18:53.140><c> again.</c>

00:18:55.539 --> 00:18:57.160
Now<00:18:55.759><c> that's</c><00:18:56.059><c> the</c><00:18:56.240><c> point.</c>

00:18:58.319 --> 00:19:02.819
Now<00:18:58.500><c> Jesus</c><00:18:58.779><c> said,</c><00:18:59.339><c> no</c><00:18:59.519><c> man</c><00:18:59.839><c> can</c><00:19:00.079><c> come</c><00:19:00.339><c> to</c><00:19:00.559><c> me</c><00:19:01.240><c> except</c><00:19:01.779><c> the</c><00:19:02.079><c> Father</c><00:19:02.380><c> draw</c><00:19:02.640><c> him.</c>

00:19:02.819 --> 00:19:05.160
So<00:19:03.019><c> whether</c><00:19:03.220><c> we're</c><00:19:03.500><c> brought</c><00:19:03.640><c> up</c><00:19:03.759><c> in</c><00:19:03.819><c> the</c><00:19:04.079><c> truth</c><00:19:04.240><c> or</c><00:19:04.519><c> not,</c><00:19:05.079><c> we</c>

00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:07.980
might<00:19:05.380><c> think</c><00:19:05.680><c> that</c><00:19:05.900><c> we</c><00:19:06.319><c> almost</c><00:19:06.680><c> naturally</c><00:19:07.319><c> become</c><00:19:07.720><c> Christadelphians</c>

00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:11.480
because<00:19:08.960><c> we</c><00:19:09.440><c> perhaps</c><00:19:09.740><c> belonged</c><00:19:10.039><c> to</c><00:19:10.240><c> Christadelphian</c><00:19:10.819><c> parents</c><00:19:11.160><c> maybe</c>

00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:12.799
three<00:19:11.700><c> or</c><00:19:11.839><c> four</c><00:19:11.980><c> generations</c><00:19:12.539><c> back.</c>

00:19:13.059 --> 00:19:18.779
But<00:19:13.200><c> it's</c><00:19:13.420><c> still</c><00:19:13.700><c> true</c><00:19:14.220><c> that</c><00:19:15.220><c> the</c><00:19:15.519><c> circumstances</c><00:19:16.019><c> of</c><00:19:16.220><c> your</c><00:19:16.480><c> birth</c><00:19:16.920><c> really</c><00:19:18.099><c> were</c><00:19:18.619><c> in</c>

00:19:18.779 --> 00:19:20.980
effect<00:19:19.099><c> a</c><00:19:19.680><c> call</c><00:19:19.819><c> of</c><00:19:20.000><c> God</c><00:19:20.200><c> in</c><00:19:20.420><c> that</c><00:19:20.759><c> sense,</c>

00:19:21.019 --> 00:19:24.559

00:19:25.940 --> 00:19:29.119
That's<00:19:26.119><c> what</c><00:19:26.259><c> he</c><00:19:26.420><c> will</c><00:19:26.660><c> do</c><00:19:27.180><c> to</c><00:19:27.900><c> everybody</c><00:19:28.220><c> that</c><00:19:28.440><c> comes</c><00:19:28.619><c> to</c><00:19:28.880><c> the</c><00:19:28.920><c> truth.</c>

00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:32.319
But<00:19:29.440><c> he</c><00:19:29.779><c> won't</c><00:19:30.380><c> do</c><00:19:30.720><c> that</c><00:19:31.039><c> again.</c>

00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:36.700
Because<00:19:34.339><c> you</c><00:19:34.519><c> see</c><00:19:34.700><c> now</c><00:19:35.000><c> it's</c><00:19:35.220><c> a</c><00:19:35.339><c> question</c><00:19:35.559><c> of</c><00:19:35.819><c> principle.</c>

00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:40.859
You<00:19:37.900><c> cannot</c><00:19:38.240><c> play</c><00:19:38.559><c> fast</c><00:19:38.980><c> and</c><00:19:39.200><c> loose</c><00:19:39.359><c> with</c><00:19:39.559><c> that</c><00:19:39.779><c> sort</c><00:19:39.960><c> of</c><00:19:40.160><c> calling.</c>

00:19:41.380 --> 00:19:44.819
So<00:19:41.519><c> when</c><00:19:41.740><c> one</c><00:19:42.079><c> turns</c><00:19:42.440><c> away</c><00:19:42.759><c> from</c><00:19:43.000><c> God,</c><00:19:43.960><c> God</c><00:19:44.180><c> said,</c><00:19:44.380><c> I'll</c><00:19:44.480><c> go</c><00:19:44.660><c> to</c>

00:19:44.819 --> 00:19:47.819
my<00:19:45.019><c> place,</c><00:19:45.279><c> you</c><00:19:45.460><c> turn</c><00:19:45.640><c> your</c><00:19:45.779><c> back</c><00:19:45.920><c> on</c><00:19:46.079><c> me,</c><00:19:46.299><c> I</c><00:19:46.440><c> will</c><00:19:46.640><c> turn</c><00:19:46.920><c> my</c><00:19:47.200><c> back</c><00:19:47.440><c> on</c><00:19:47.660><c> you,</c>

00:19:47.900 --> 00:19:49.940
and<00:19:48.000><c> I'm</c><00:19:48.160><c> not</c><00:19:48.299><c> going</c><00:19:48.420><c> to</c><00:19:48.579><c> turn</c><00:19:48.720><c> around</c><00:19:48.880><c> until</c><00:19:49.140><c> you</c><00:19:49.619><c> turn</c>

00:19:49.940 --> 00:19:50.440
around<00:19:50.140><c> first.</c>

00:19:50.500 --> 00:19:52.599
That's<00:19:50.880><c> the</c><00:19:51.059><c> principle,</c><00:19:51.660><c> brothers</c><00:19:51.700><c> and</c><00:19:51.700><c> sisters.</c>

00:19:52.980 --> 00:19:55.099
Let's<00:19:53.299><c> have</c><00:19:53.420><c> a</c><00:19:53.460><c> look</c><00:19:53.579><c> at</c><00:19:53.660><c> it</c><00:19:53.819><c> in</c><00:19:53.880><c> the</c><00:19:54.039><c> 2</c><00:19:54.160><c> Chronicles</c><00:19:54.660><c> 15.</c>

00:19:55.140 --> 00:19:56.039
This<00:19:55.299><c> is</c><00:19:55.500><c> the</c><00:19:55.660><c> principle.</c>

00:19:56.500 --> 00:19:59.779
Once<00:19:56.900><c> a</c><00:19:57.000><c> person</c><00:19:57.319><c> has</c><00:19:57.440><c> been</c><00:19:57.700><c> called</c><00:19:57.900><c> to</c><00:19:58.019><c> the</c><00:19:58.240><c> truth,</c><00:19:59.519><c> then</c><00:19:59.599><c> the</c>

00:19:59.779 --> 00:20:03.900
initiative<00:20:00.039><c> belongs</c><00:20:00.420><c> to</c><00:20:00.619><c> them</c><00:20:00.900><c> because</c><00:20:01.240><c> God</c><00:20:01.539><c> will</c><00:20:01.819><c> wait</c><00:20:02.119><c> until</c><00:20:02.380><c> it</c><00:20:02.559><c> happens.</c>

00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:07.660
And<00:20:04.799><c> when</c><00:20:04.920><c> it</c><00:20:05.119><c> happens,</c><00:20:05.319><c> he</c><00:20:05.420><c> will</c><00:20:05.539><c> go</c><00:20:05.720><c> out</c><00:20:05.940><c> of</c><00:20:06.000><c> his</c><00:20:06.180><c> way</c><00:20:06.359><c> to</c><00:20:06.559><c> help.</c>

00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:12.119
But<00:20:09.819><c> this</c><00:20:09.980><c> is</c><00:20:10.140><c> what's</c><00:20:10.319><c> got</c><00:20:10.440><c> to</c><00:20:10.559><c> happen</c><00:20:10.759><c> first.</c>

00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:19.319
In<00:20:14.259><c> the</c><00:20:14.440><c> 2</c><00:20:14.599><c> Chronicles</c><00:20:15.160><c> 15,</c><00:20:18.099><c> the</c><00:20:18.180><c> Spirit</c><00:20:18.440><c> of</c><00:20:18.559><c> God</c><00:20:18.839><c> came</c><00:20:19.079><c> upon</c>

Azariah,<00:20:19.960><c> the</c><00:20:20.019><c> son</c><00:20:20.220><c> of</c><00:20:20.400><c> Odette,</c>

00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:26.539
and<00:20:21.579><c> he</c><00:20:21.660><c> went</c><00:20:21.819><c> out</c><00:20:22.079><c> to</c><00:20:25.200><c> meet</c><00:20:25.339><c> Asa</c><00:20:25.720><c> and</c><00:20:25.940><c> said</c><00:20:26.059><c> unto</c><00:20:26.299><c> him,</c>

00:20:26.940 --> 00:20:30.359

00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:37.539
And<00:20:34.160><c> if</c><00:20:34.400><c> ye</c><00:20:34.839><c> seek</c><00:20:35.079><c> him,</c><00:20:35.579><c> he</c><00:20:35.799><c> will</c><00:20:36.000><c> be</c><00:20:36.200><c> found</c><00:20:36.400><c> of</c><00:20:36.619><c> you.</c>

00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:40.619
But<00:20:37.839><c> if</c><00:20:37.940><c> ye</c><00:20:38.140><c> forsake</c><00:20:38.660><c> him,</c><00:20:39.240><c> he</c><00:20:39.339><c> will</c><00:20:39.640><c> forsake</c><00:20:40.319><c> you.</c>

00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:42.119
That's<00:20:40.980><c> the</c><00:20:41.119><c> principle,</c><00:20:41.660><c> brothers</c><00:20:41.819><c> and</c><00:20:41.960><c> sisters.</c>

00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:43.720
It's<00:20:42.519><c> awfully</c><00:20:42.859><c> simple,</c><00:20:43.440><c> isn't</c><00:20:43.480><c> it?</c>

00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:48.859
As<00:20:44.599><c> I</c><00:20:45.079><c> say,</c><00:20:45.680><c> initially,</c><00:20:46.579><c> God</c><00:20:46.579><c> will</c><00:20:46.799><c> go</c><00:20:46.960><c> out</c><00:20:47.160><c> of</c><00:20:47.220><c> his</c><00:20:47.440><c> way</c><00:20:47.779><c> to</c><00:20:48.039><c> call</c><00:20:48.339><c> sinners</c><00:20:48.660><c> to</c>

the<00:20:49.059><c> truth,</c>

00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:51.420

00:20:51.819 --> 00:20:54.079

00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:48.759
He<00:21:47.059><c> didn't</c><00:21:47.299><c> wait</c><00:21:47.559><c> for</c><00:21:47.619><c> him</c><00:21:47.759><c> to</c><00:21:47.799><c> come</c><00:21:47.980><c> all</c><00:21:48.200><c> the</c><00:21:48.319><c> way.</c><00:21:48.440><c> He</c><00:21:48.539><c> went</c>

00:21:50.180 --> 00:21:54.019
But<00:21:50.380><c> the</c><00:21:50.599><c> lad</c><00:21:50.740><c> was</c><00:21:51.019><c> already</c><00:21:51.920><c> on</c><00:21:52.420><c> his</c><00:21:52.599><c> way</c><00:21:52.839><c> back,</c><00:21:53.359><c> and</c><00:21:53.519><c> the</c><00:21:53.799><c> pigs</c>

00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:59.000

Do<00:22:22.440><c> you</c><00:22:22.619><c> think</c><00:22:22.859><c> that</c><00:22:23.039><c> the</c><00:22:23.180><c> scripture</c><00:22:23.480><c> saith</c><00:22:23.720><c> in</c><00:22:23.980><c> vain,</c>

00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:49.220

00:22:50.460 --> 00:22:53.359
These<00:22:50.940><c> people</c><00:22:51.500><c> were</c><00:22:51.900><c> in</c><00:22:52.200><c> the</c><00:22:52.460><c> truth.</c>

They<00:22:54.200><c> had</c><00:22:54.480><c> become</c><00:22:54.900><c> adulteresses.</c>

That's<00:28:21.920><c> exactly</c><00:28:22.359><c> what</c><00:28:22.619><c> happened</c><00:28:22.759><c> to</c><00:28:22.859><c> that</c><00:28:22.980><c> young</c><00:28:23.160><c> fellow.</c>

00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:45.200
But<00:28:42.059><c> he</c><00:28:42.180><c> had</c><00:28:42.440><c> come</c><00:28:42.660><c> to</c><00:28:42.839><c> himself</c><00:28:43.180><c> because</c><00:28:43.500><c> he</c><00:28:43.799><c> had</c><00:28:44.119><c> that</c><00:28:44.279><c> attitude</c><00:28:44.539><c> to</c><00:28:44.740><c> his</c><00:28:44.940><c> father.</c>

00:28:45.380 --> 00:28:49.200
He<00:28:45.599><c> saw</c><00:28:45.819><c> that</c><00:28:46.000><c> his</c><00:28:46.220><c> father</c><00:28:46.440><c> was</c><00:28:46.779><c> so</c><00:28:47.279><c> right</c><00:28:47.579><c> to</c><00:28:47.980><c> be</c><00:28:48.180><c> one</c><00:28:48.319><c> with</c><00:28:48.539><c> God</c><00:28:48.920><c> on</c>

00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:50.359
the<00:28:49.420><c> issue.</c>

00:28:51.819 --> 00:28:52.759
And<00:28:51.980><c> God</c><00:28:52.220><c> chastened</c><00:28:52.640><c> him.</c>

00:28:52.759 --> 00:28:55.180
And<00:28:52.859><c> he</c><00:28:52.859><c> went</c><00:28:53.059><c> on</c><00:28:53.380><c> frowardly</c><00:28:53.819><c> at</c><00:28:53.859><c> his</c><00:28:54.079><c> heart,</c><00:28:54.400><c> but</c><00:28:54.440><c> God</c><00:28:54.839><c> was</c>

00:28:55.180 --> 00:28:56.980
watching<00:28:55.519><c> it.</c>

00:28:57.779 --> 00:29:00.740
When<00:28:57.920><c> he</c><00:28:58.140><c> finally</c><00:28:58.400><c> turned</c><00:28:58.660><c> away</c><00:28:58.920><c> from</c><00:28:59.079><c> his</c><00:28:59.380><c> pigs,</c><00:28:59.839><c> he</c><00:29:00.079><c> saw</c><00:29:00.460><c> him</c>

00:29:00.740 --> 00:29:01.339
a<00:29:00.880><c> great</c><00:29:01.079><c> way</c><00:29:01.259><c> off.</c>

00:29:01.339 --> 00:29:02.980
I've<00:29:01.599><c> seen</c><00:29:01.819><c> his</c><00:29:02.099><c> ways.</c>

00:29:03.900 --> 00:29:08.220
And<00:29:03.980><c> he</c><00:29:04.079><c> got</c><00:29:04.200><c> to</c><00:29:04.380><c> heal</c><00:29:04.599><c> him</c><00:29:05.480><c> and</c><00:29:06.279><c> bring</c><00:29:06.539><c> comforts</c><00:29:07.039><c> to</c><00:29:07.160><c> his</c><00:29:07.440><c> soul.</c>

00:29:10.059 --> 00:29:14.380
So<00:29:10.240><c> the</c><00:29:10.380><c> boy</c><00:29:10.500><c> comes</c><00:29:10.799><c> home</c><00:29:11.140><c> and</c><00:29:11.539><c> the</c><00:29:11.799><c> father</c><00:29:12.059><c> meets</c><00:29:12.339><c> him,</c><00:29:14.220><c> had</c>

00:29:18.220 --> 00:29:25.779
It's<00:29:18.799><c> very</c><00:29:19.099><c> difficult,</c><00:29:19.680><c> brethren</c><00:29:19.819><c> and</c><00:29:20.119><c> sisters,</c><00:29:22.339><c> to</c><00:29:22.420><c> comprehend</c><00:29:23.140><c> the</c><00:29:24.779><c> compassion</c><00:29:25.319><c> of</c><00:29:25.519><c> God.</c>

00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:29.539
It's<00:29:26.079><c> something</c><00:29:26.339><c> that</c><00:29:27.380><c> is</c><00:29:27.519><c> very</c><00:29:27.819><c> difficult</c><00:29:28.180><c> to</c><00:29:28.539><c> comprehend.</c>

00:29:30.420 --> 00:29:33.920

He<00:35:53.699><c> says</c><00:35:53.920><c> one</c><00:35:54.139><c> or</c><00:35:54.199><c> two</c><00:35:54.380><c> things</c><00:35:54.579><c> that</c><00:35:54.699><c> are</c><00:35:54.840><c> worthwhile.</c>

00:35:56.659 --> 00:36:00.800
But<00:35:56.900><c> you</c><00:35:57.059><c> know,</c><00:35:57.400><c> it</c><00:35:58.039><c> was</c><00:35:58.280><c> a</c><00:35:58.719><c> beautiful</c><00:35:59.059><c> thing</c><00:35:59.460><c> that</c><00:36:00.519><c> pointed</c>

00:36:02.679 --> 00:36:06.780
who<00:36:02.940><c> we</c><00:36:03.239><c> read</c><00:36:03.739><c> is</c><00:36:04.360><c> one</c><00:36:04.639><c> of</c><00:36:04.719><c> us,</c><00:36:05.079><c> he</c><00:36:05.340><c> came</c><00:36:05.599><c> in</c><00:36:05.719><c> our</c><00:36:05.900><c> nature</c><00:36:06.239><c> and</c>

00:36:10.940 --> 00:36:13.579
and<00:36:11.420><c> therefore</c><00:36:11.659><c> had</c><00:36:11.860><c> compassion</c><00:36:12.380><c> on</c><00:36:12.519><c> us</c><00:36:12.679><c> because</c><00:36:13.119><c> he</c><00:36:13.400><c> could</c>

00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:18.559
And<00:36:15.460><c> Des</c><00:36:15.599><c> made</c><00:36:15.800><c> the</c><00:36:16.039><c> point,</c><00:36:16.900><c> it's</c><00:36:17.239><c> not</c><00:36:17.480><c> that</c><00:36:17.679><c> God</c><00:36:17.960><c> couldn't.</c>

00:36:18.619 --> 00:36:22.400
It's<00:36:18.739><c> not</c><00:36:18.920><c> as</c><00:36:19.119><c> if</c><00:36:19.260><c> God</c><00:36:19.500><c> had</c><00:36:19.699><c> to</c><00:36:19.920><c> find</c><00:36:20.219><c> somebody</c><00:36:20.820><c> among</c><00:36:21.039><c> the</c><00:36:21.239><c> human</c><00:36:21.440><c> race</c><00:36:22.039><c> to</c>

00:36:26.039 --> 00:36:28.199
Because<00:36:26.340><c> that's</c><00:36:26.599><c> ridiculous.</c><00:36:27.320><c> Because</c><00:36:27.639><c> the</c><00:36:27.739><c> Old</c><00:36:27.940><c> Testament</c>

00:36:28.199 --> 00:36:30.320

00:36:31.300 --> 00:36:34.960
God<00:36:31.780><c> doesn't</c><00:36:32.119><c> really</c><00:36:32.679><c> have</c><00:36:32.860><c> to</c><00:36:32.980><c> be</c><00:36:33.159><c> told</c><00:36:33.400><c> how</c><00:36:33.599><c> we</c><00:36:33.780><c> feel.</c><00:36:34.119><c> He</c><00:36:34.219><c> understands.</c><00:36:34.920><c> He</c>

00:36:36.619 --> 00:36:40.619
We've<00:36:37.099><c> got</c><00:36:37.400><c> Isaiah</c><00:36:38.260><c> 63</c><00:36:38.980><c> says</c><00:36:39.260><c> that.</c><00:36:39.500><c> You've</c><00:36:39.659><c> got</c><00:36:39.800><c> Psalm</c><00:36:40.079><c> 103</c>

00:36:40.619 --> 00:36:43.260
says<00:36:41.059><c> that.</c><00:36:41.239><c> You've</c><00:36:41.340><c> got</c><00:36:41.440><c> Isaiah</c><00:36:42.019><c> 57</c><00:36:42.820><c> says</c><00:36:43.059><c> that.</c>

00:36:43.340 --> 00:36:45.019
It's<00:36:43.579><c> all</c><00:36:43.800><c> over</c><00:36:44.039><c> the</c><00:36:44.199><c> Bible.</c>

00:36:45.579 --> 00:36:50.119
The<00:36:45.719><c> point</c><00:36:45.860><c> being</c><00:36:46.139><c> made</c><00:36:46.460><c> is</c><00:36:48.019><c> that</c><00:36:48.920><c> Jesus</c><00:36:49.260><c> came</c><00:36:49.599><c> to</c><00:36:49.780><c> show</c><00:36:49.920><c> us,</c>

00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:50.840

00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:53.780
not<00:36:51.159><c> that</c><00:36:51.320><c> he</c><00:36:51.519><c> needs</c><00:36:51.739><c> to</c><00:36:52.039><c> understand</c><00:36:52.360><c> us,</c><00:36:52.679><c> but</c><00:36:52.780><c> that</c><00:36:53.019><c> we</c><00:36:53.440><c> need</c>

to<00:36:54.159><c> understand</c><00:36:54.619><c> him.</c>

00:36:57.219 --> 00:36:59.719
And<00:36:57.659><c> consequently,</c><00:36:58.360><c> we</c><00:36:58.380><c> need</c><00:36:58.639><c> to</c><00:36:58.860><c> come</c><00:36:59.000><c> to</c><00:36:59.199><c> grips</c><00:36:59.400><c> with</c><00:36:59.599><c> the</c>

00:37:04.679 --> 00:37:07.139
The<00:37:04.820><c> emphasis</c><00:37:05.260><c> is</c><00:37:05.559><c> upon</c><00:37:05.719><c> what</c><00:37:05.980><c> we</c><00:37:06.300><c> learn,</c><00:37:06.719><c> not</c><00:37:06.760><c> what</c><00:37:06.960><c> the</c>

00:37:08.619 --> 00:37:11.679
The<00:37:08.820><c> Father</c><00:37:09.019><c> needs</c><00:37:09.380><c> to</c><00:37:09.659><c> learn</c><00:37:09.820><c> nothing.</c><00:37:10.260><c> He</c><00:37:10.280><c> knows</c><00:37:10.679><c> it</c><00:37:10.900><c> all.</c>

00:37:11.780 --> 00:37:13.139
We've<00:37:12.219><c> got</c><00:37:12.239><c> to</c><00:37:12.400><c> learn.</c>

00:37:13.579 --> 00:37:16.300
When<00:37:13.719><c> you</c><00:37:13.960><c> read</c><00:37:14.159><c> references</c><00:37:14.500><c> like</c><00:37:14.860><c> this,</c><00:37:15.679><c> that</c><00:37:15.780><c> he</c><00:37:16.000><c> ran</c><00:37:16.219><c> to</c>

00:37:18.059 --> 00:37:20.860
then<00:37:18.199><c> we</c><00:37:18.320><c> learn</c><00:37:18.539><c> a</c><00:37:18.699><c> lot</c><00:37:18.860><c> about</c><00:37:19.079><c> that</c><00:37:19.380><c> Father,</c><00:37:19.699><c> don't</c><00:37:19.840><c> we?</c>

I<00:37:48.820><c> have</c><00:37:49.079><c> sinned</c><00:37:49.320><c> against</c><00:37:49.599><c> heaven</c><00:37:50.360><c> and</c><00:37:50.820><c> in</c><00:37:51.579><c> thy</c><00:37:52.039><c> sight.</c><00:37:54.280><c> I'm</c><00:37:54.400><c> no</c>

Now<00:43:28.619><c> think</c><00:43:28.800><c> about</c><00:43:29.119><c> this,</c><00:43:29.900><c> because</c><00:43:30.079><c> this</c><00:43:30.460><c> parable</c><00:43:30.860><c> is</c><00:43:31.360><c> full</c>

00:43:38.119 --> 00:43:40.360
Now<00:43:38.320><c> we</c><00:43:38.400><c> know</c><00:43:38.679><c> what</c><00:43:38.900><c> the</c><00:43:39.179><c> father</c><00:43:39.420><c> of</c><00:43:39.500><c> that</c><00:43:39.659><c> house</c><00:43:39.920><c> is</c><00:43:40.139><c> like,</c>

00:43:40.420 --> 00:43:42.579
because<00:43:40.659><c> we've</c><00:43:40.960><c> learnt</c><00:43:41.079><c> that</c><00:43:41.280><c> from</c><00:43:41.420><c> the</c><00:43:41.639><c> young</c><00:43:41.860><c> lad.</c>

00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:47.519

00:43:54.679 --> 00:43:56.800
That's<00:43:55.039><c> the</c><00:43:55.119><c> sort</c><00:43:55.300><c> of</c><00:43:55.460><c> father</c><00:43:55.719><c> he</c><00:43:56.059><c> had.</c>

00:43:58.280 --> 00:44:00.860
What<00:43:58.639><c> would</c><00:43:59.000><c> cause</c><00:43:59.300><c> the</c><00:43:59.500><c> oldest</c><00:43:59.800><c> son</c><00:44:00.059><c> to</c><00:44:00.219><c> be</c><00:44:00.360><c> suspicious</c>

00:44:06.500 --> 00:44:07.579
What<00:44:06.659><c> would?</c>

00:44:09.360 --> 00:44:12.300
He<00:44:09.719><c> should</c><00:44:10.019><c> have</c><00:44:10.199><c> been</c><00:44:10.420><c> completely</c><00:44:11.039><c> free</c><00:44:11.239><c> and</c><00:44:11.420><c> easy</c><00:44:11.619><c> with</c><00:44:11.760><c> that,</c>

00:44:12.460 --> 00:44:14.579

00:44:14.639 --> 00:44:15.840

00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:17.699
we're<00:44:16.039><c> not</c><00:44:16.260><c> talking</c><00:44:16.480><c> about</c><00:44:16.719><c> the</c><00:44:16.880><c> things</c><00:44:17.039><c> that</c><00:44:17.219><c> we</c><00:44:17.400><c> hear</c><00:44:17.539><c> out</c>

00:44:18.000 --> 00:44:19.360
That's<00:44:18.300><c> a</c><00:44:18.480><c> completely</c><00:44:18.599><c> different</c><00:44:18.980><c> thing.</c>

00:44:28.760 --> 00:44:29.440
There<00:44:28.760><c> was</c><00:44:28.920><c> plenty</c><00:44:29.179><c> of</c><00:44:29.300><c> it.</c>

00:44:29.480 --> 00:44:31.800

00:44:31.860 --> 00:44:33.920
It<00:44:31.880><c> would</c><00:44:32.039><c> all</c><00:44:32.239><c> be</c><00:44:32.440><c> done</c><00:44:32.579><c> in</c><00:44:32.840><c> a</c><00:44:32.960><c> very</c><00:44:33.320><c> wonderful</c><00:44:33.679><c> way.</c>

00:44:41.420 --> 00:44:42.639
He<00:44:41.480><c> was</c><00:44:41.679><c> suspicious</c><00:44:42.159><c> about</c><00:44:42.400><c> it.</c>

00:44:42.960 --> 00:44:45.019
He<00:44:43.159><c> had</c><00:44:43.320><c> it</c><00:44:43.480><c> called</c><00:44:43.539><c> one</c><00:44:43.719><c> of</c><00:44:43.820><c> the</c><00:44:44.079><c> servants</c><00:44:44.360><c> to</c><00:44:44.599><c> find</c><00:44:44.800><c> out</c><00:44:44.900><c> what</c>

00:45:42.260 --> 00:45:45.420
What<00:45:42.539><c> stopped</c><00:45:43.159><c> them</c><00:45:43.579><c> from</c><00:45:43.860><c> going</c><00:45:44.079><c> over</c><00:45:44.400><c> there?</c>

00:45:46.199 --> 00:45:49.239
What<00:45:46.679><c> reason</c><00:45:47.159><c> did</c><00:45:47.280><c> they</c><00:45:47.440><c> have</c><00:45:47.699><c> to</c><00:45:47.800><c> be</c><00:45:48.039><c> suspicious?</c>

00:46:01.800 --> 00:46:03.780
That<00:46:02.199><c> was</c><00:46:02.420><c> the</c><00:46:02.559><c> older</c><00:46:02.699><c> boy,</c>

00:53:38.719 --> 00:53:39.559
Boy.

00:53:48.380 --> 00:53:50.400
He<00:53:48.659><c> really</c><00:53:48.880><c> believed</c><00:53:49.239><c> that.</c>

00:53:50.659 --> 00:53:54.719

They're<00:54:01.739><c> inevitable.</c>

00:54:02.539 --> 00:54:05.559
Inevitable<00:54:03.119><c> consequences</c><00:54:03.739><c> of</c><00:54:03.980><c> believing</c><00:54:04.260><c> you're</c><00:54:04.460><c> never</c><00:54:04.679><c> wrong.</c>

00:54:16.199 --> 00:54:17.880
Think<00:54:16.460><c> about</c><00:54:16.739><c> that.</c>

00:54:18.719 --> 00:54:22.019
If<00:54:19.480><c> you're</c><00:54:19.920><c> unconscious</c><00:54:20.579><c> of</c><00:54:20.860><c> your</c><00:54:21.099><c> sins,</c>

That's<00:54:27.099><c> the</c><00:54:27.199><c> first</c><00:54:27.440><c> thing.</c>

00:54:29.440 --> 00:54:33.639
And<00:54:29.699><c> the</c><00:54:29.880><c> second</c><00:54:30.079><c> thing</c><00:54:30.320><c> is</c><00:54:31.340><c> that</c><00:54:32.380><c> if</c><00:54:32.519><c> you're</c><00:54:32.840><c> unconscious</c><00:54:33.440><c> of</c>

00:55:02.659 --> 00:55:04.420
It's<00:55:02.940><c> all</c><00:55:03.300><c> stern.</c>

00:55:05.079 --> 00:55:07.699
It's<00:55:05.280><c> all</c><00:55:05.539><c> depression</c><00:55:06.139><c> and</c><00:55:06.579><c> gloom.</c>

It's<00:55:08.480><c> all</c><00:55:08.820><c> negative.</c>

00:55:09.960 --> 00:55:13.300

See,<00:59:08.699><c> what</c><00:59:08.780><c> I</c><00:59:08.900><c> said</c><00:59:08.980><c> earlier,</c><00:59:10.139><c> against</c><00:59:10.460><c> heaven,</c>

00:59:10.980 --> 00:59:12.679
the<00:59:11.119><c> younger</c><00:59:11.380><c> son</c><00:59:11.599><c> saw</c><00:59:11.800><c> it</c><00:59:12.059><c> clearly,</c><00:59:12.280><c> didn't</c><00:59:12.519><c> he?</c>

00:59:12.820 --> 00:59:16.019
It's<00:59:13.039><c> me</c><00:59:13.260><c> and</c><00:59:13.340><c> my</c><00:59:13.559><c> God,</c><00:59:14.119><c> as</c><00:59:14.260><c> it</c><00:59:14.440><c> were,</c><00:59:15.360><c> or</c><00:59:15.480><c> my</c><00:59:15.699><c> father,</c>

00:59:16.019 --> 00:59:19.019
and<00:59:16.239><c> my</c><00:59:16.420><c> God,</c><00:59:16.579><c> of</c><00:59:16.800><c> course,</c><00:59:17.400><c> he</c><00:59:17.480><c> saw</c><00:59:17.659><c> the</c><00:59:17.980><c> two</c><00:59:18.159><c> of</c><00:59:18.179><c> them</c><00:59:18.599><c> morally</c>

00:59:19.019 --> 00:59:19.940
being<00:59:19.500><c> together.</c>

00:59:20.119 --> 00:59:21.320
So<00:59:20.400><c> it</c><00:59:20.420><c> was</c><00:59:20.619><c> between</c><00:59:20.719><c> him</c><00:59:20.880><c> and</c><00:59:20.960><c> his</c><00:59:21.199><c> God.</c>

00:59:21.539 --> 00:59:23.679
Now<00:59:21.699><c> this</c><00:59:21.880><c> boy</c><00:59:22.059><c> says,</c><00:59:22.900><c> your</c><00:59:23.199><c> son</c><00:59:23.420><c> has</c><00:59:23.619><c> come.</c>

00:59:23.760 --> 00:59:25.760
We<00:59:23.980><c> say,</c><00:59:24.400><c> oh,</c><00:59:24.539><c> he</c><00:59:24.619><c> wouldn't</c><00:59:24.840><c> even</c><00:59:25.139><c> own</c><00:59:25.179><c> him</c><00:59:25.320><c> as</c><00:59:25.480><c> a</c><00:59:25.599><c> brother.</c>

00:59:26.059 --> 00:59:28.380
Brethren<00:59:26.340><c> and</c><00:59:26.599><c> sisters,</c><00:59:26.860><c> worse</c><00:59:27.099><c> than</c><00:59:27.360><c> that.</c>

00:59:28.940 --> 00:59:33.619
He<00:59:29.320><c> saw</c><00:59:29.579><c> that</c><00:59:29.820><c> younger</c><00:59:30.119><c> boy</c><00:59:30.820><c> as</c><00:59:31.239><c> being</c><00:59:31.500><c> dissolute</c><00:59:32.280><c> and</c><00:59:32.699><c> wicked,</c>

00:59:33.719 --> 00:59:35.960
belonging<00:59:34.119><c> to</c><00:59:34.519><c> his</c><00:59:34.800><c> father.</c>

00:59:37.480 --> 00:59:39.599
Belonging<00:59:37.960><c> to</c><00:59:38.159><c> his</c><00:59:38.440><c> father.</c>

00:59:40.480 --> 00:59:41.360
He's<00:59:40.739><c> your</c><00:59:41.000><c> boy.</c>

00:59:41.599 --> 00:59:43.480
What<00:59:41.780><c> did</c><00:59:41.860><c> he</c><00:59:41.960><c> think</c><00:59:42.059><c> of</c><00:59:42.179><c> his</c><00:59:42.360><c> dad,</c><00:59:42.559><c> really,</c><00:59:42.820><c> in</c><00:59:42.980><c> his</c><00:59:43.219><c> heart?</c>

00:59:43.480 --> 00:59:45.519
Where<00:59:44.219><c> was</c><00:59:44.420><c> the</c><00:59:44.579><c> respect?</c>

00:59:46.500 --> 00:59:48.219
See<00:59:46.699><c> what</c><00:59:46.820><c> he'd</c><00:59:47.059><c> done.</c>

00:59:48.840 --> 00:59:49.719
Dreadful,<00:59:49.260><c> isn't</c><00:59:49.360><c> it?</c>

00:59:49.900 --> 00:59:50.920
And<00:59:50.019><c> that's</c><00:59:50.099><c> what</c><00:59:50.260><c> Jesus</c><00:59:50.599><c> said.</c>

00:59:51.199 --> 00:59:54.099
You<00:59:51.420><c> touch</c><00:59:51.719><c> one</c><00:59:51.920><c> of</c><00:59:52.039><c> my</c><00:59:52.159><c> little</c><00:59:52.360><c> ones,</c><00:59:52.619><c> you</c><00:59:52.800><c> touch</c><00:59:53.059><c> me.</c>

00:59:55.599 --> 00:59:59.039
And<00:59:55.780><c> this</c><00:59:55.980><c> fellow</c><00:59:56.480><c> had</c><00:59:57.139><c> put</c><00:59:57.280><c> that</c><00:59:57.619><c> boy,</c><00:59:57.840><c> who</c><00:59:57.960><c> he</c><00:59:58.099><c> had</c><00:59:58.199><c> no</c><00:59:58.500><c> time</c><00:59:58.719><c> for,</c>

00:59:59.179 --> 01:00:00.139
in<00:59:59.280><c> his</c><00:59:59.500><c> father's</c><00:59:59.980><c> bosom.</c>

01:00:00.239 --> 01:00:03.280
He<01:00:00.460><c> saw</c><01:00:01.000><c> them</c><01:00:01.320><c> as</c><01:00:01.519><c> the</c><01:00:01.619><c> same,</c><01:00:02.000><c> didn't</c><01:00:02.099><c> he,</c><01:00:02.260><c> really?</c>

01:00:03.980 --> 01:00:05.539
Or<01:00:04.179><c> he</c><01:00:04.219><c> would</c><01:00:04.400><c> never</c><01:00:04.599><c> have</c><01:00:04.800><c> admitted</c><01:00:05.000><c> that,</c><01:00:05.199><c> but</c><01:00:05.300><c> that's</c><01:00:05.420><c> what</c>

01:00:05.539 --> 01:00:06.760
he<01:00:05.699><c> did.</c>

01:00:07.460 --> 01:00:09.039
And<01:00:07.579><c> the</c><01:00:07.699><c> issues</c><01:00:07.880><c> were</c><01:00:08.019><c> between</c><01:00:08.340><c> him</c><01:00:08.539><c> and</c><01:00:08.639><c> his</c><01:00:08.840><c> father.</c>

01:00:09.099 --> 01:00:10.840
Never<01:00:09.320><c> mind</c><01:00:09.519><c> about</c><01:00:09.960><c> disowning</c><01:00:10.300><c> him</c><01:00:10.400><c> as</c><01:00:10.519><c> a</c><01:00:10.659><c> brother.</c>

01:00:10.840 --> 01:00:13.079
Look<01:00:11.119><c> what</c><01:00:11.239><c> he</c><01:00:11.340><c> was</c><01:00:11.480><c> doing</c><01:00:11.639><c> to</c><01:00:11.800><c> his</c><01:00:12.000><c> father.</c>

01:00:13.900 --> 01:00:15.159
And<01:00:13.980><c> he</c><01:00:14.039><c> wouldn't</c><01:00:14.219><c> have</c><01:00:14.440><c> thought</c><01:00:14.599><c> like</c><01:00:14.820><c> that,</c><01:00:15.019><c> would</c><01:00:15.139><c> he?</c>

01:00:15.420 --> 01:00:17.119
He<01:00:15.699><c> wouldn't</c><01:00:15.880><c> have</c><01:00:16.119><c> seen</c><01:00:16.340><c> the</c><01:00:16.519><c> ramifications</c>

01:00:17.119 --> 01:00:19.920
that<01:00:17.320><c> the</c><01:00:17.519><c> scribes</c><01:00:17.820><c> and</c><01:00:17.960><c> Pharisees</c><01:00:18.260><c> were</c><01:00:18.380><c> listening</c><01:00:18.579><c> to</c><01:00:18.739><c> this</c><01:00:18.960><c> parable.</c>

01:00:20.380 --> 01:00:22.800
Tells<01:00:20.679><c> his</c><01:00:20.800><c> father</c><01:00:21.039><c> that</c><01:00:21.420><c> this</c><01:00:22.000><c> fellow</c><01:00:22.300><c> had</c><01:00:22.500><c> got</c><01:00:22.579><c> off</c>

01:00:22.800 --> 01:00:24.659
and<01:00:23.039><c> he'd</c><01:00:23.300><c> wasted</c><01:00:23.519><c> your</c><01:00:23.780><c> living</c><01:00:23.960><c> with</c><01:00:24.320><c> harlots</c>

01:00:28.760 --> 01:00:30.599
He<01:00:28.900><c> was</c><01:00:29.099><c> probably</c><01:00:29.480><c> right.</c>

01:00:32.320 --> 01:00:34.239
Riotous<01:00:32.719><c> living</c><01:00:32.960><c> would</c><01:00:33.159><c> include</c><01:00:33.500><c> everything</c><01:00:33.739><c> like</c><01:00:34.019><c> that,</c>

01:00:35.820 --> 01:00:37.920
He<01:00:35.980><c> was</c><01:00:36.139><c> more</c><01:00:36.420><c> than</c><01:00:36.619><c> rightly</c><01:00:36.900><c> right.</c>

01:00:38.360 --> 01:00:40.719
But<01:00:38.800><c> the</c><01:00:39.079><c> father</c><01:00:39.300><c> hadn't</c><01:00:39.559><c> made</c><01:00:39.780><c> that</c><01:00:40.059><c> point</c><01:00:40.219><c> with</c><01:00:40.420><c> the</c><01:00:40.579><c> son,</c>

01:01:27.039 --> 01:01:31.880
Son,<01:01:30.860><c> son.</c>

01:01:34.440 --> 01:01:35.880
Look<01:01:34.599><c> at</c><01:01:34.739><c> that.</c>

01:01:38.179 --> 01:01:41.719
So<01:01:38.380><c> the</c><01:01:38.579><c> son,</c><01:01:39.280><c> the</c><01:01:39.440><c> eldest</c><01:01:39.639><c> son,</c><01:01:40.039><c> might</c><01:01:40.199><c> have</c><01:01:40.599><c> disowned</c><01:01:40.940><c> his</c><01:01:41.199><c> brother</c>

01:01:41.719 --> 01:01:44.219
and<01:01:42.420><c> aligned</c><01:01:42.699><c> him</c><01:01:42.860><c> with</c><01:01:42.960><c> his</c><01:01:43.179><c> father.</c>

01:01:45.460 --> 01:01:51.539
But<01:01:45.679><c> the</c><01:01:45.980><c> father,</c><01:01:46.480><c> in</c><01:01:46.659><c> turn,</c><01:01:47.860><c> did</c><01:01:48.139><c> not,</c><01:01:49.320><c> did</c><01:01:49.760><c> not</c><01:01:50.780><c> cast</c><01:01:51.280><c> the</c>

boy<01:01:51.719><c> away</c>

01:01:51.940 --> 01:01:53.260
and<01:01:52.179><c> call</c><01:01:52.340><c> him</c><01:01:52.539><c> something</c><01:01:52.820><c> different.</c>

01:01:53.260 --> 01:01:55.340
He<01:01:53.420><c> said,</c><01:01:53.699><c> call</c><01:01:53.920><c> him</c><01:01:54.079><c> his</c><01:01:54.320><c> son.</c>

01:01:56.679 --> 01:01:58.980
There's<01:01:56.780><c> something</c><01:01:56.940><c> very</c><01:01:57.260><c> wonderful</c><01:01:57.500><c> about</c><01:01:57.840><c> that.</c>

01:01:59.880 --> 01:02:02.699
It's<01:02:00.159><c> very</c><01:02:00.420><c> wonderful</c><01:02:00.739><c> indeed,</c><01:02:01.179><c> isn't</c><01:02:01.340><c> it?</c>

01:02:02.820 --> 01:02:04.099
That<01:02:02.980><c> the</c><01:02:03.159><c> father</c><01:02:03.340><c> should</c><01:02:03.539><c> have</c><01:02:03.679><c> that</c><01:02:03.860><c> attitude.</c>

01:02:04.199 --> 01:02:07.139
Why<01:02:04.360><c> didn't</c><01:02:04.539><c> he</c><01:02:04.739><c> call</c><01:02:04.920><c> him</c><01:02:05.079><c> something</c><01:02:05.360><c> else?</c><01:02:05.599><c> But</c><01:02:05.719><c> he</c><01:02:05.800><c> didn't.</c>

01:02:07.639 --> 01:02:09.800
He<01:02:07.860><c> said,</c><01:02:08.039><c> you're</c><01:02:08.440><c> ever</c><01:02:08.659><c> with</c><01:02:08.900><c> me.</c>

01:02:10.599 --> 01:02:11.820
And<01:02:10.800><c> it</c><01:02:10.880><c> was</c><01:02:11.119><c> true,</c><01:02:11.360><c> you</c><01:02:11.460><c> know.</c>

01:02:12.059 --> 01:02:14.659
This<01:02:12.340><c> parable</c><01:02:12.619><c> wouldn't</c><01:02:12.840><c> have</c><01:02:13.000><c> applied</c><01:02:13.440><c> to,</c><01:02:13.840><c> on</c><01:02:14.059><c> a</c><01:02:14.179><c> national</c>

01:02:19.179 --> 01:02:21.039

01:02:21.039 --> 01:02:23.880
You<01:02:21.039><c> know,</c><01:02:22.000><c> Israel</c><01:02:22.179><c> had</c><01:02:22.380><c> ever</c><01:02:22.800><c> been</c><01:02:23.139><c> with</c><01:02:23.380><c> God,</c><01:02:23.699><c> haven't</c><01:02:23.780><c> they?</c>

01:02:23.900 --> 01:02:25.300
Look<01:02:24.059><c> at</c><01:02:24.179><c> the</c><01:02:24.480><c> privileges</c><01:02:24.840><c> they've</c><01:02:25.179><c> had.</c>

01:02:25.559 --> 01:02:26.900
He<01:02:25.579><c> said,</c><01:02:25.820><c> all</c><01:02:25.960><c> that</c><01:02:26.099><c> I've</c><01:02:26.300><c> had</c><01:02:26.400><c> is</c><01:02:26.659><c> yours.</c>

01:02:27.239 --> 01:02:30.500
And<01:02:27.380><c> look</c><01:02:27.519><c> at</c><01:02:27.619><c> God</c><01:02:27.960><c> promised</c><01:02:28.300><c> Israel</c><01:02:28.719><c> the</c><01:02:29.219><c> world</c>

01:02:31.480 --> 01:02:33.599
in<01:02:31.920><c> their</c><01:02:32.119><c> father's</c><01:02:32.699><c> promises.</c>

01:02:34.119 --> 01:02:36.179
To<01:02:34.219><c> them</c><01:02:34.440><c> belongeth</c><01:02:34.800><c> the</c><01:02:35.019><c> adoption,</c><01:02:35.400><c> the</c><01:02:35.599><c> glory,</c><01:02:35.980><c> the</c><01:02:36.059><c> giving</c>

01:02:38.820 --> 01:02:41.159
They<01:02:39.000><c> had</c><01:02:39.219><c> wonderful</c><01:02:40.059><c> privileges,</c><01:02:40.699><c> brethren</c><01:02:40.860><c> and</c><01:02:41.079><c> sisters.</c>

01:02:41.219 --> 01:02:43.219
They<01:02:41.320><c> were</c><01:02:41.579><c> ever</c><01:02:41.860><c> with</c><01:02:42.139><c> God.</c>

01:02:45.159 --> 01:02:47.440
For<01:02:45.360><c> this,</c><01:02:45.780><c> my</c><01:02:45.800><c> brother</c><01:02:46.059><c> was</c><01:02:46.320><c> dead,</c><01:02:46.539><c> he</c><01:02:46.719><c> said.</c>

01:02:47.739 --> 01:02:49.860
It<01:02:47.940><c> was</c><01:02:48.400><c> meat</c><01:02:48.780><c> that</c><01:02:49.019><c> we</c><01:02:49.219><c> should</c><01:02:49.380><c> make</c><01:02:49.639><c> merry.</c>

01:02:49.860 --> 01:02:53.460
Now,<01:02:50.199><c> you</c><01:02:50.239><c> know,</c><01:02:50.400><c> there's</c><01:02:50.599><c> one</c><01:02:50.760><c> interesting</c><01:02:51.340><c> thing</c><01:02:51.599><c> in</c><01:02:51.780><c> verse</c><01:02:52.019><c> 32.</c>

01:02:53.659 --> 01:02:55.139
It<01:02:53.840><c> was</c><01:02:54.199><c> meat.</c>

01:02:57.039 --> 01:03:01.119
Now,<01:02:58.239><c> it</c><01:02:58.380><c> doesn't</c><01:02:58.679><c> say</c><01:02:59.380><c> it's</c><01:03:00.239><c> right</c><01:03:00.500><c> that</c><01:03:00.619><c> we</c><01:03:00.699><c> should</c><01:03:00.840><c> have</c><01:03:01.019><c> a</c>

01:03:01.119 --> 01:03:01.940
happy<01:03:01.420><c> reunion.</c>

01:03:02.019 --> 01:03:03.559
You<01:03:02.179><c> see,</c><01:03:02.400><c> in</c><01:03:02.519><c> the</c><01:03:02.719><c> Greek,</c><01:03:03.079><c> brethren</c><01:03:03.219><c> and</c><01:03:03.480><c> sisters,</c>

01:03:03.780 --> 01:03:06.699
the<01:03:03.880><c> idea</c><01:03:04.440><c> is</c><01:03:05.019><c> that</c><01:03:05.300><c> it's</c><01:03:05.559><c> the</c><01:03:05.719><c> right</c><01:03:06.079><c> thing</c><01:03:06.380><c> to</c><01:03:06.599><c> do.</c>

01:03:06.840 --> 01:03:09.780
It's<01:03:07.019><c> not</c><01:03:07.219><c> as</c><01:03:07.420><c> if</c><01:03:07.860><c> it's</c><01:03:08.239><c> a</c><01:03:08.400><c> spontaneous</c><01:03:09.000><c> thing,</c><01:03:09.420><c> which</c><01:03:09.639><c> it</c>

01:03:09.780 --> 01:03:10.280
would<01:03:09.900><c> have</c><01:03:10.079><c> been,</c>

01:03:10.420 --> 01:03:12.460
but<01:03:10.539><c> it</c><01:03:10.599><c> wasn't</c><01:03:10.780><c> only</c><01:03:11.079><c> spontaneous</c><01:03:11.619><c> in</c><01:03:11.820><c> the</c><01:03:11.920><c> sense</c><01:03:12.039><c> that</c><01:03:12.219><c> a</c>

01:03:12.460 --> 01:03:14.340
family<01:03:12.800><c> member</c><01:03:13.119><c> had</c><01:03:13.280><c> come</c><01:03:13.480><c> home.</c>

01:03:14.480 --> 01:03:17.019
It<01:03:14.739><c> was</c><01:03:15.239><c> morally</c><01:03:15.679><c> right</c><01:03:16.219><c> that</c><01:03:16.380><c> it</c><01:03:16.559><c> should</c><01:03:16.679><c> happen.</c>

01:03:17.019 --> 01:03:19.800
The<01:03:17.420><c> RSV</c><01:03:18.000><c> says</c><01:03:18.320><c> it</c><01:03:18.460><c> was</c><01:03:18.820><c> fit.</c>

01:03:20.039 --> 01:03:22.579
Rotherham<01:03:20.400><c> says</c><01:03:20.920><c> that</c><01:03:21.219><c> there</c><01:03:21.320><c> was</c><01:03:21.539><c> a</c><01:03:21.719><c> need.</c>

01:03:23.019 --> 01:03:25.599
The<01:03:23.280><c> Greek</c><01:03:23.500><c> expresses</c><01:03:24.119><c> a</c><01:03:24.639><c> moral</c><01:03:25.079><c> necessity.</c>

01:03:25.820 --> 01:03:27.780
It<01:03:25.880><c> wasn't</c><01:03:26.139><c> as</c><01:03:26.320><c> if</c><01:03:26.360><c> he's</c><01:03:26.480><c> saying,</c><01:03:26.980><c> look,</c><01:03:27.219><c> boy,</c><01:03:27.340><c> can't</c><01:03:27.559><c> we</c><01:03:27.659><c> have</c>

01:03:27.780 --> 01:03:28.260
a<01:03:27.840><c> lovely,</c>

01:03:28.260 --> 01:03:30.099

01:03:30.280 --> 01:03:34.159
He's<01:03:30.619><c> saying</c><01:03:30.699><c> to</c><01:03:30.840><c> the</c><01:03:30.960><c> eldest</c><01:03:31.139><c> son,</c><01:03:31.639><c> son,</c><01:03:31.920><c> you</c><01:03:32.119><c> are</c><01:03:32.619><c> morally</c><01:03:33.019><c> wrong.</c>

01:03:35.380 --> 01:03:38.079
It's<01:03:35.800><c> right</c><01:03:36.099><c> that</c><01:03:36.380><c> we</c><01:03:36.539><c> should</c><01:03:36.639><c> do</c><01:03:36.840><c> it</c><01:03:36.960><c> like</c><01:03:37.079><c> this</c><01:03:37.320><c> way.</c>

01:03:38.440 --> 01:03:42.019
This<01:03:38.619><c> is</c><01:03:38.880><c> the</c><01:03:39.059><c> right</c><01:03:39.280><c> thing</c><01:03:39.500><c> to</c><01:03:39.699><c> do</c><01:03:40.119><c> because</c><01:03:41.179><c> it's</c><01:03:41.460><c> God's</c><01:03:41.760><c> attitude.</c>

01:03:42.179 --> 01:03:45.519
That's<01:03:42.519><c> why</c><01:03:43.019><c> we</c><01:03:44.599><c> should</c><01:03:44.900><c> be</c><01:03:45.340><c> glad.</c>

01:03:45.519 --> 01:03:51.280

01:06:41.239 --> 01:06:48.059
Doubtless,<01:06:42.119><c> thou</c><01:06:42.219><c> art</c><01:06:42.579><c> our</c><01:06:42.900><c> father,</c><01:06:44.679><c> though</c><01:06:45.139><c> Abraham</c><01:06:46.039><c> be</c><01:06:46.519><c> ignorant</c><01:06:46.820><c> of</c><01:06:47.019><c> us,</c>

01:06:52.500 --> 01:06:55.239
Thou,<01:06:53.079><c> Yahweh,</c><01:06:53.440><c> art</c><01:06:53.760><c> our</c><01:06:53.960><c> Father,</c><01:06:54.659><c> our</c><01:06:54.820><c> Redeemer.</c>

01:06:55.460 --> 01:06:57.880
Thy<01:06:55.699><c> name</c><01:06:56.079><c> is</c><01:06:56.320><c> from</c><01:06:56.500><c> everlasting</c><01:06:57.019><c> to</c><01:06:57.260><c> everlasting.</c>

01:06:58.000 --> 01:06:59.679
There's<01:06:58.340><c> another</c><01:06:58.739><c> voice</c><01:06:58.980><c> in</c><01:06:59.099><c> that</c><01:06:59.320><c> chapter.</c>

01:06:59.880 --> 01:07:01.900
Out<01:07:00.079><c> of</c><01:07:00.159><c> the</c><01:07:00.440><c> blue,</c><01:07:00.940><c> there's</c><01:07:01.019><c> a</c><01:07:01.159><c> people</c><01:07:01.380><c> who</c><01:07:01.500><c> calls</c><01:07:01.659><c> to</c><01:07:01.800><c> God</c>

01:07:01.900 --> 01:07:02.139
and<01:07:02.019><c> says,</c>

01:07:02.280 --> 01:07:04.059
hey,<01:07:02.519><c> don't</c><01:07:02.639><c> forget</c><01:07:02.920><c> us.</c>

01:07:05.340 --> 01:07:07.340
We<01:07:05.539><c> didn't</c><01:07:05.760><c> descend</c><01:07:06.039><c> from</c><01:07:06.260><c> Abraham.</c>

01:07:08.579 --> 01:07:11.239
Israel,<01:07:09.199><c> they</c><01:07:09.599><c> don't</c><01:07:09.760><c> want</c><01:07:09.860><c> to</c><01:07:10.039><c> know</c><01:07:10.079><c> us.</c>

01:07:11.900 --> 01:07:13.579
But<01:07:12.219><c> you're</c><01:07:12.500><c> our</c><01:07:12.739><c> father,</c><01:07:13.539><c> too.</c>

01:07:13.960 --> 01:07:16.019
And<01:07:14.099><c> here's</c><01:07:14.280><c> Israel</c><01:07:14.480><c> saying,</c><01:07:14.880><c> we</c><01:07:14.980><c> are</c><01:07:15.139><c> thine.</c>

01:07:16.380 --> 01:07:17.059
They<01:07:16.820><c> weren't.</c>

01:07:17.219 --> 01:07:17.679
We<01:07:17.440><c> are.</c>

01:07:17.719 --> 01:07:18.380
They<01:07:17.960><c> weren't.</c>

01:07:18.440 --> 01:07:20.239
But<01:07:18.639><c> these</c><01:07:18.820><c> people</c><01:07:19.019><c> say</c><01:07:19.199><c> we</c><01:07:19.440><c> are.</c>

01:07:20.500 --> 01:07:22.800
And<01:07:20.940><c> if</c><01:07:21.139><c> ever</c><01:07:21.320><c> you</c><01:07:21.440><c> want</c><01:07:21.599><c> to</c><01:07:21.679><c> see</c><01:07:21.840><c> the</c><01:07:22.019><c> two</c><01:07:22.219><c> boys,</c><01:07:22.480><c> there</c><01:07:22.679><c> they</c>

And<01:07:25.500><c> the</c><01:07:25.619><c> day</c><01:07:25.760><c> will</c><01:07:26.000><c> come,</c><01:07:26.380><c> brothers</c><01:07:26.460><c> and</c><01:07:26.719><c> sisters,</c>

01:07:32.400 --> 01:07:35.760
And<01:07:32.539><c> when</c><01:07:32.659><c> they</c><01:07:32.900><c> do,</c><01:07:34.159><c> we're</c><01:07:34.340><c> going</c><01:07:34.559><c> to</c><01:07:34.719><c> see</c><01:07:34.860><c> a</c><01:07:35.019><c> manifestation</c>

For<01:08:01.340><c> of</c><01:08:01.639><c> him</c><01:08:01.860><c> and</c><01:08:02.099><c> to</c><01:08:02.300><c> him</c><01:08:02.460><c> and</c><01:08:02.659><c> through</c><01:08:02.880><c> him</c><01:08:03.059><c> are</c><01:08:03.219><c> all</c><01:08:03.480><c> things.</c>

01:08:12.559 --> 01:08:14.380
So<01:08:12.780><c> never</c><01:08:13.019><c> let</c><01:08:13.199><c> us</c><01:08:13.420><c> turn</c><01:08:13.679><c> away</c><01:08:13.900><c> from</c><01:08:14.079><c> the</c><01:08:14.280><c> truth.</c>
