00:00:46.700 --> 00:00:50.539

00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:54.359
And<00:00:51.200><c> we</c><00:00:51.399><c> cannot</c><00:00:51.759><c> contemplate</c><00:00:52.560><c> our</c><00:00:52.799><c> Lord</c><00:00:53.079><c> really</c><00:00:53.479><c> without</c><00:00:53.979><c> His</c>

00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:03.299
But<00:00:58.420><c> in</c><00:00:58.579><c> this</c><00:00:58.859><c> talk</c><00:00:59.079><c> this</c><00:00:59.340><c> morning</c><00:00:59.679><c> we</c><00:01:00.039><c> reach</c><00:01:00.600><c> the</c><00:01:01.140><c> consummation,</c><00:01:02.380><c> we</c><00:01:02.820><c> shall</c>

00:01:03.299 --> 00:01:04.780
be<00:01:03.640><c> like</c><00:01:03.880><c> Him.</c>

00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:08.560
Our<00:01:06.480><c> sister</c><00:01:06.739><c> sang</c><00:01:06.980><c> it</c><00:01:07.180><c> in</c><00:01:07.359><c> the</c><00:01:07.599><c> talent</c><00:01:07.859><c> night,</c><00:01:08.180><c> didn't</c><00:01:08.379><c> she,</c>

00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:09.959
the<00:01:08.719><c> other</c><00:01:08.900><c> day.</c>

00:01:10.260 --> 00:01:13.579
And<00:01:10.400><c> we</c><00:01:11.540><c> sometimes</c><00:01:11.900><c> say</c><00:01:12.120><c> to</c><00:01:12.280><c> ourselves,</c><00:01:12.560><c> well</c><00:01:12.680><c> I'm</c><00:01:12.799><c> not</c><00:01:13.079><c> very</c>

00:01:13.579 --> 00:01:15.140
much<00:01:13.900><c> like</c><00:01:14.280><c> Him.</c>

00:01:15.340 --> 00:01:18.260
And<00:01:15.859><c> sometimes</c><00:01:16.239><c> we</c><00:01:16.439><c> say,</c><00:01:16.739><c> I'm</c><00:01:16.859><c> not</c><00:01:17.079><c> at</c><00:01:17.340><c> all</c><00:01:17.560><c> like</c><00:01:17.939><c> Him.</c>

00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:22.719
And<00:01:18.700><c> then</c><00:01:18.840><c> we</c><00:01:18.980><c> go</c><00:01:19.140><c> one</c><00:01:19.400><c> further</c><00:01:19.659><c> and</c><00:01:19.819><c> we</c><00:01:19.980><c> say,</c><00:01:20.939><c> I'll</c><00:01:21.239><c> never</c><00:01:21.420><c> be</c><00:01:21.700><c> there.</c>

00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:26.099
So<00:01:23.739><c> it's</c><00:01:23.959><c> all</c><00:01:24.079><c> very</c><00:01:24.319><c> nice</c><00:01:24.640><c> what</c><00:01:24.900><c> Edgar's</c><00:01:25.299><c> been</c><00:01:25.519><c> saying</c><00:01:25.780><c> this</c>

00:01:26.099 --> 00:01:28.980
week,<00:01:26.400><c> but</c><00:01:26.920><c> what's</c><00:01:28.560><c> the</c><00:01:28.700><c> use?</c>

00:01:28.980 --> 00:01:31.379
I'm<00:01:29.299><c> so</c><00:01:29.599><c> rotten,</c><00:01:29.920><c> I'm</c><00:01:30.200><c> such</c><00:01:30.400><c> a</c><00:01:30.620><c> sinner.</c>

00:01:33.099 --> 00:01:38.180
And<00:01:33.359><c> so</c><00:01:33.579><c> our</c><00:01:34.159><c> walk</c><00:01:34.540><c> in</c><00:01:34.900><c> righteousness</c><00:01:35.560><c> is</c><00:01:36.060><c> impeded</c><00:01:37.640><c> instead</c>

00:01:38.180 --> 00:01:41.379
of<00:01:38.459><c> helped</c><00:01:39.060><c> by</c><00:01:40.319><c> the</c><00:01:40.560><c> vision</c><00:01:40.739><c> of</c><00:01:41.019><c> Christ</c>

00:01:41.379 --> 00:01:43.439
because<00:01:41.760><c> perhaps</c><00:01:42.219><c> we've</c><00:01:42.500><c> got</c><00:01:42.620><c> a</c><00:01:42.739><c> little</c><00:01:42.920><c> bit</c><00:01:43.060><c> of</c><00:01:43.180><c> the</c><00:01:43.299><c> wrong</c>

00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:46.480
idea<00:01:44.180><c> of</c><00:01:44.840><c> our</c><00:01:45.200><c> contribution</c><00:01:45.859><c> to</c><00:01:46.060><c> the</c><00:01:46.180><c> matter.</c>

00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:50.900
Not<00:01:46.900><c> quite</c><00:01:47.379><c> clear</c><00:01:48.000><c> as</c><00:01:48.599><c> to</c><00:01:48.700><c> what</c><00:01:49.060><c> we</c><00:01:49.420><c> have</c><00:01:49.680><c> to</c><00:01:49.900><c> do</c>

00:01:51.219 --> 00:01:54.459
as<00:01:51.739><c> distinct</c><00:01:52.099><c> from</c><00:01:52.280><c> what</c><00:01:52.560><c> Christ</c><00:01:52.939><c> is</c><00:01:53.180><c> going</c><00:01:53.379><c> to</c><00:01:53.620><c> do</c><00:01:53.939><c> in</c><00:01:54.219><c> order</c>

00:01:57.819 --> 00:02:02.159
So<00:01:58.000><c> I'm</c><00:01:58.159><c> not</c><00:01:58.400><c> speaking</c><00:01:58.840><c> this</c><00:01:59.120><c> morning</c><00:01:59.459><c> about</c><00:02:00.120><c> the</c><00:02:00.659><c> consummation</c><00:02:01.400><c> in</c><00:02:01.579><c> the</c><00:02:01.739><c> sense</c><00:02:01.959><c> of</c>

00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:04.099
what<00:02:02.379><c> it</c><00:02:02.620><c> will</c><00:02:02.760><c> be</c><00:02:03.019><c> like</c>

00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.280

00:02:08.460 --> 00:02:12.080
because<00:02:09.680><c> it</c><00:02:10.039><c> passes</c><00:02:10.500><c> words.</c>

00:02:12.340 --> 00:02:17.000
It<00:02:12.460><c> will</c><00:02:12.719><c> be,</c><00:02:12.900><c> if</c><00:02:12.979><c> you</c><00:02:13.219><c> like,</c><00:02:13.819><c> Wilbraham</c><00:02:14.479><c> heightened</c><00:02:14.979><c> ten</c><00:02:15.460><c> thousand</c><00:02:15.960><c> times</c><00:02:16.539><c> with</c><00:02:16.819><c> the</c>

00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:22.099
Well<00:02:20.000><c> you</c><00:02:20.060><c> couldn't</c><00:02:20.259><c> describe</c><00:02:20.699><c> that,</c><00:02:21.180><c> could</c><00:02:21.219><c> you?</c>

00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:26.919
But<00:02:22.479><c> it</c><00:02:22.620><c> is</c><00:02:22.860><c> important</c><00:02:23.419><c> to</c><00:02:23.699><c> us</c><00:02:23.919><c> to</c><00:02:25.180><c> settle</c><00:02:25.460><c> our</c><00:02:25.879><c> hearts</c><00:02:26.259><c> a</c><00:02:26.439><c> little</c><00:02:26.719><c> bit</c>

00:02:30.219 --> 00:02:35.659
No,<00:02:30.719><c> not</c><00:02:30.979><c> how</c><00:02:31.319><c> we</c><00:02:31.759><c> can</c><00:02:32.180><c> achieve,</c><00:02:33.259><c> rather</c><00:02:33.659><c> how</c><00:02:34.000><c> we</c><00:02:34.340><c> can</c><00:02:34.759><c> receive</c>

He<00:10:23.340><c> was</c><00:10:23.580><c> saying</c><00:10:23.779><c> that</c><00:10:23.940><c> you</c><00:10:24.059><c> only</c><00:10:24.399><c> gain</c><00:10:24.559><c> salvation</c><00:10:25.159><c> by</c><00:10:25.419><c> the</c><00:10:25.620><c> grace</c><00:10:25.840><c> of</c><00:10:26.139><c> God.</c>

00:10:26.940 --> 00:10:29.220
They<00:10:27.080><c> said</c><00:10:27.200><c> right</c><00:10:27.519><c> oh</c><00:10:27.639><c> we</c><00:10:27.740><c> haven't</c><00:10:27.919><c> got</c><00:10:28.100><c> to</c><00:10:28.259><c> do</c><00:10:28.379><c> anything</c><00:10:28.659><c> in</c><00:10:28.960><c> fact</c>

00:10:29.220 --> 00:10:32.220
if<00:10:29.940><c> God</c><00:10:30.120><c> is</c><00:10:30.320><c> so</c><00:10:30.519><c> gracious</c><00:10:30.820><c> let's</c><00:10:31.259><c> sin</c><00:10:31.500><c> some</c><00:10:31.820><c> more</c>

00:10:32.220 --> 00:10:35.159
and<00:10:32.679><c> then</c><00:10:32.820><c> he</c><00:10:32.940><c> can</c><00:10:33.159><c> really</c><00:10:33.580><c> enjoy</c><00:10:34.100><c> forgiving</c><00:10:34.500><c> us.</c>

00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:38.159
It<00:10:35.440><c> was</c><00:10:35.440><c> a</c><00:10:35.440><c> complete</c><00:10:35.899><c> twist</c><00:10:36.259><c> of</c><00:10:36.679><c> what</c><00:10:36.860><c> he</c><00:10:37.019><c> was</c><00:10:37.259><c> saying.</c>

00:10:39.460 --> 00:10:42.500

00:10:42.820 --> 00:10:44.460
Well<00:10:43.059><c> it</c><00:10:43.100><c> lies</c><00:10:43.360><c> in</c><00:10:43.620><c> several</c><00:10:43.919><c> places.</c>

00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:26.279
through<00:11:21.080><c> Christ</c><00:11:21.620><c> to</c><00:11:21.940><c> Godward</c><00:11:22.620><c> not</c><00:11:24.059><c> that</c><00:11:24.620><c> we</c><00:11:25.179><c> are</c><00:11:25.620><c> sufficient</c>

00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:27.320
of<00:11:26.740><c> ourselves</c>

00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:29.919
to<00:11:27.620><c> think</c><00:11:27.879><c> anything</c><00:11:28.480><c> as</c><00:11:29.000><c> of</c><00:11:29.379><c> ourselves.</c>

00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:33.080
That's<00:11:30.240><c> the</c><00:11:30.399><c> point,</c><00:11:30.659><c> we</c><00:11:30.820><c> are</c><00:11:30.960><c> not</c><00:11:31.220><c> sufficient</c><00:11:31.679><c> of</c><00:11:31.940><c> ourselves.</c>

00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:36.759
This<00:11:34.320><c> is</c><00:11:34.419><c> why</c><00:11:34.539><c> I</c><00:11:34.720><c> said</c><00:11:34.860><c> Jesus</c><00:11:35.240><c> is</c><00:11:35.460><c> more</c><00:11:35.679><c> than</c><00:11:35.820><c> an</c><00:11:36.059><c> example</c><00:11:36.440><c> to</c><00:11:36.620><c> us</c>

00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:40.259
because<00:11:37.019><c> if</c><00:11:37.200><c> he</c><00:11:37.340><c> were</c><00:11:37.580><c> only</c><00:11:37.919><c> an</c><00:11:38.220><c> example</c><00:11:38.759><c> then</c><00:11:39.259><c> he</c><00:11:39.379><c> would</c><00:11:39.659><c> condemn</c><00:11:40.019><c> us</c>

00:11:40.259 --> 00:11:42.419
rather<00:11:40.580><c> than</c><00:11:40.740><c> lift</c><00:11:40.919><c> us</c><00:11:41.179><c> up</c><00:11:41.360><c> because</c><00:11:41.600><c> we</c><00:11:41.759><c> never</c><00:11:41.940><c> come</c><00:11:42.120><c> anywhere</c>

00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:50.940
So<00:11:44.500><c> we</c><00:11:45.080><c> are</c><00:11:45.519><c> not</c><00:11:45.820><c> sufficient</c><00:11:46.440><c> of</c><00:11:46.820><c> ourselves</c><00:11:47.460><c> but</c><00:11:47.840><c> our</c><00:11:48.440><c> sufficiency</c><00:11:49.039><c> is</c><00:11:49.580><c> of</c><00:11:49.879><c> God.</c>

00:12:00.100 --> 00:12:03.740
we<00:12:00.220><c> know</c><00:12:00.500><c> that</c><00:12:00.759><c> God</c><00:12:00.940><c> and</c><00:12:01.179><c> Christ</c><00:12:01.500><c> are</c><00:12:01.779><c> so</c><00:12:02.320><c> interrelated</c><00:12:03.159><c> and</c>

00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:43.200

Now<00:13:43.820><c> the</c><00:13:44.100><c> Lord</c><00:13:44.659><c> is</c><00:13:45.159><c> that</c><00:13:45.539><c> spirit,</c>

00:13:52.220 --> 00:13:56.139
The<00:13:52.460><c> Lord</c><00:13:52.820><c> is</c><00:13:53.279><c> the</c><00:13:53.659><c> spirit</c><00:13:53.960><c> and</c><00:13:54.299><c> where</c><00:13:54.700><c> the</c><00:13:55.039><c> spirit</c><00:13:55.559><c> of</c><00:13:55.879><c> the</c>

There's<00:14:00.279><c> a</c><00:14:00.440><c> glorious</c><00:14:00.919><c> sense</c><00:14:01.399><c> of</c><00:14:01.799><c> freedom.</c>

00:14:02.740 --> 00:14:05.720
With<00:14:02.940><c> Christ</c><00:14:03.299><c> in</c><00:14:03.500><c> the</c><00:14:03.659><c> vessel</c><00:14:03.919><c> we</c><00:14:04.419><c> smile</c><00:14:04.879><c> at</c><00:14:05.120><c> the</c><00:14:05.379><c> storm.</c>

00:14:06.019 --> 00:14:08.100
When<00:14:06.240><c> Christ</c><00:14:06.679><c> is</c><00:14:06.879><c> in</c><00:14:07.019><c> the</c><00:14:07.240><c> believer,</c>

00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:19.000
And<00:14:15.779><c> then</c><00:14:15.879><c> it</c><00:14:15.919><c> goes</c><00:14:16.120><c> on</c><00:14:16.379><c> with</c><00:14:16.600><c> the</c><00:14:16.720><c> recipe</c><00:14:17.220><c> of</c><00:14:17.419><c> verse</c><00:14:17.720><c> 18.</c>

00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:23.539
But<00:14:19.340><c> we</c><00:14:19.860><c> all</c><00:14:20.379><c> with</c><00:14:20.659><c> open</c><00:14:21.059><c> faces,</c><00:14:21.559><c> not</c><00:14:21.860><c> with</c><00:14:22.100><c> a</c><00:14:22.320><c> veil</c><00:14:22.460><c> on,</c>

We<00:14:36.559><c> don't</c><00:14:36.759><c> change</c><00:14:37.039><c> ourselves.</c>

00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:40.580

I've<00:15:33.179><c> noticed</c><00:15:33.460><c> very</c><00:15:33.740><c> often</c><00:15:33.960><c> when</c><00:15:34.139><c> you</c><00:15:34.419><c> talk,</c>

00:15:34.940 --> 00:15:36.720
as<00:15:35.120><c> we</c><00:15:35.259><c> do</c><00:15:35.480><c> at</c><00:15:35.700><c> schools</c><00:15:36.019><c> like</c><00:15:36.399><c> this,</c>

00:15:37.019 --> 00:15:41.659
with<00:15:37.179><c> one</c><00:15:37.399><c> another</c><00:15:37.759><c> about</c><00:15:38.899><c> the</c><00:15:39.360><c> problems</c><00:15:39.740><c> of</c><00:15:39.980><c> the</c><00:15:40.159><c> Christian</c><00:15:40.600><c> life,</c>

00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:45.799
it<00:15:42.080><c> usually</c><00:15:42.580><c> seems</c><00:15:43.039><c> to</c><00:15:43.299><c> be</c><00:15:43.519><c> that</c><00:15:43.779><c> our</c><00:15:44.100><c> minds</c><00:15:44.440><c> are</c><00:15:44.720><c> so</c><00:15:44.960><c> constructed</c>

00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:48.580

00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:51.720
is<00:15:48.919><c> it</c><00:15:49.200><c> right</c><00:15:49.419><c> to</c><00:15:49.639><c> do</c><00:15:49.840><c> that,</c><00:15:50.200><c> and</c><00:15:50.419><c> is</c><00:15:50.580><c> it</c><00:15:50.820><c> right</c><00:15:50.980><c> to</c><00:15:51.179><c> do</c><00:15:51.299><c> the</c><00:15:51.519><c> other?</c>

00:15:51.740 --> 00:15:55.379
And<00:15:51.879><c> we</c><00:15:52.000><c> have</c><00:15:52.159><c> an</c><00:15:52.299><c> almost</c><00:15:52.820><c> morbid</c><00:15:53.460><c> interest</c><00:15:53.960><c> in</c><00:15:54.600><c> defining</c>

And<00:16:03.799><c> this</c><00:16:04.139><c> can</c><00:16:04.340><c> become</c><00:16:04.620><c> a</c><00:16:04.860><c> burden,</c>

00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:08.580
which<00:16:05.759><c> as</c><00:16:05.960><c> Peter</c><00:16:06.179><c> said,</c><00:16:06.620><c> neither</c><00:16:06.700><c> we</c><00:16:07.059><c> nor</c><00:16:07.279><c> our</c><00:16:07.559><c> fathers</c><00:16:07.940><c> could</c><00:16:08.259><c> bear,</c>

Once<00:16:13.299><c> more,</c><00:16:13.659><c> you</c><00:16:13.659><c> see,</c><00:16:13.779><c> I've</c><00:16:13.940><c> been</c><00:16:14.039><c> doing</c><00:16:14.159><c> this</c><00:16:14.340><c> all</c><00:16:14.559><c> week,</c>

00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:17.679
you've<00:16:15.220><c> seen</c><00:16:15.360><c> me,</c><00:16:15.639><c> no</c><00:16:15.840><c> doubt,</c><00:16:16.600><c> if</c><00:16:16.620><c> you</c><00:16:16.759><c> can</c><00:16:16.940><c> read</c><00:16:17.059><c> my</c><00:16:17.360><c> mind,</c>

00:16:18.139 --> 00:16:20.980
looking<00:16:18.259><c> around,</c><00:16:19.080><c> groping</c><00:16:19.539><c> almost</c><00:16:19.759><c> for</c><00:16:20.000><c> the</c><00:16:20.259><c> right</c><00:16:20.600><c> word</c>

00:16:26.299 --> 00:16:29.799
This<00:16:26.659><c> perhaps</c><00:16:27.059><c> is</c><00:16:27.299><c> the</c><00:16:27.419><c> most</c><00:16:28.059><c> dangerous</c><00:16:28.879><c> subject</c><00:16:29.299><c> of</c><00:16:29.539><c> all</c>

in<00:16:30.059><c> that</c><00:16:30.120><c> we</c><00:16:30.220><c> could</c><00:16:30.399><c> go</c><00:16:30.580><c> from</c><00:16:30.759><c> this</c><00:16:31.000><c> room</c><00:16:31.159><c> today</c><00:16:31.500><c> saying,</c>

00:16:34.500 --> 00:16:37.100
we<00:16:34.580><c> could</c><00:16:34.679><c> go</c><00:16:34.820><c> away</c><00:16:35.000><c> complacent,</c><00:16:35.820><c> feeling</c><00:16:36.039><c> Jesus</c><00:16:36.720><c> has</c><00:16:36.960><c> done</c>

00:16:37.100 --> 00:16:37.519
it<00:16:37.340><c> all,</c>

00:16:37.659 --> 00:16:39.779
all<00:16:37.919><c> I've</c><00:16:38.159><c> got</c><00:16:38.279><c> to</c><00:16:38.480><c> do</c><00:16:38.639><c> is</c><00:16:38.860><c> just</c><00:16:39.120><c> jog</c><00:16:39.279><c> along</c>

00:16:39.779 --> 00:16:41.500
and<00:16:40.500><c> everything</c><00:16:40.779><c> will</c><00:16:40.940><c> be</c><00:16:41.139><c> all</c><00:16:41.240><c> right.</c>

00:16:41.580 --> 00:16:45.279
That<00:16:41.820><c> is</c><00:16:42.120><c> not</c><00:16:42.559><c> my</c><00:16:42.860><c> message,</c><00:16:43.200><c> it</c><00:16:43.399><c> is</c><00:16:43.600><c> not</c><00:16:43.799><c> the</c><00:16:44.000><c> message</c><00:16:44.240><c> of</c><00:16:44.539><c> Paul.</c>

00:16:45.659 --> 00:16:48.440
So<00:16:45.820><c> we</c><00:16:45.960><c> turn</c><00:16:46.179><c> back</c><00:16:46.580><c> to</c><00:16:46.759><c> Romans</c><00:16:46.980><c> 5,</c><00:16:47.240><c> 6,</c><00:16:47.519><c> 7,</c><00:16:47.759><c> 8,</c>

00:16:48.860 --> 00:16:51.039

00:16:53.019 --> 00:17:01.019
We<00:16:53.480><c> seek</c><00:16:53.820><c> to</c><00:16:54.980><c> sort</c><00:16:55.259><c> out</c><00:16:55.820><c> how</c><00:16:56.440><c> we</c><00:16:56.879><c> can</c><00:16:57.240><c> let</c><00:16:58.600><c> Christ</c><00:16:59.500><c> of</c><00:17:00.240><c> the</c><00:17:00.399><c> Lord</c>

00:17:01.019 --> 00:17:04.799
or<00:17:01.259><c> the</c><00:17:01.460><c> Spirit</c><00:17:02.139><c> bring</c><00:17:02.559><c> us</c><00:17:03.320><c> to</c><00:17:03.659><c> the</c><00:17:03.860><c> consummation</c>

00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:11.380
so<00:17:05.140><c> that</c><00:17:05.420><c> we</c><00:17:05.839><c> shall</c><00:17:06.579><c> both</c><00:17:07.220><c> now</c><00:17:08.099><c> and</c><00:17:08.660><c> then</c><00:17:09.420><c> be</c><00:17:10.180><c> like</c><00:17:10.519><c> Him.</c>

00:17:12.380 --> 00:17:15.779
Now<00:17:12.640><c> it</c><00:17:12.759><c> all</c><00:17:13.099><c> starts</c><00:17:13.720><c> with</c><00:17:14.059><c> the</c><00:17:14.339><c> divine</c><00:17:14.700><c> provision</c><00:17:15.140><c> of</c><00:17:15.339><c> Jesus,</c>

00:17:15.859 --> 00:17:18.160
that's<00:17:16.079><c> why</c><00:17:16.259><c> we</c><00:17:16.519><c> started</c><00:17:16.859><c> there.</c>

00:17:20.500 --> 00:17:26.640
It<00:17:20.980><c> all</c><00:17:21.460><c> flows</c><00:17:22.359><c> from</c><00:17:23.920><c> the</c><00:17:24.119><c> death</c><00:17:24.539><c> of</c><00:17:24.799><c> the</c><00:17:24.900><c> Lord</c><00:17:25.079><c> Jesus</c><00:17:25.460><c> Christ.</c>

00:17:27.460 --> 00:17:32.900
The<00:17:27.619><c> Lord</c><00:17:27.839><c> Jesus</c><00:17:28.720><c> didn't</c><00:17:30.819><c> die</c><00:17:31.180><c> for</c><00:17:31.500><c> us,</c>

He<00:17:34.539><c> didn't</c><00:17:34.819><c> call</c><00:17:35.140><c> us</c><00:17:35.339><c> into</c><00:17:35.559><c> the</c><00:17:35.880><c> sharing</c><00:17:36.160><c> of</c><00:17:36.380><c> the</c><00:17:36.579><c> fruits</c><00:17:36.799><c> of</c>

00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:43.140
It's<00:19:38.339><c> not</c><00:19:38.700><c> our</c><00:19:39.259><c> achievement</c><00:19:39.960><c> for</c><00:19:41.119><c> me</c><00:19:41.279><c> to</c><00:19:41.460><c> live</c><00:19:41.920><c> is</c><00:19:42.579><c> Christ,</c>

00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:49.200
So<00:19:46.779><c> then</c><00:19:47.019><c> in</c><00:19:47.140><c> Romans</c><00:19:47.500><c> 6,</c>

00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:56.000
What<00:19:54.400><c> shall</c><00:19:54.599><c> we</c><00:19:54.799><c> say</c><00:19:55.019><c> then?</c>

00:19:56.140 --> 00:19:59.480
Shall<00:19:56.339><c> we</c><00:19:56.599><c> continue</c><00:19:57.220><c> in</c><00:19:57.599><c> sin</c><00:19:57.799><c> that</c><00:19:58.140><c> grace</c><00:19:58.460><c> may</c><00:19:58.779><c> abound?</c>

Shall<00:19:59.859><c> we</c><00:20:00.000><c> do</c><00:20:00.160><c> some</c><00:20:00.400><c> more</c><00:20:00.640><c> sinning</c>

00:20:01.019 --> 00:20:03.019

00:20:09.619 --> 00:20:14.200
How<00:20:09.660><c> shall</c><00:20:10.000><c> we</c><00:20:10.380><c> that</c><00:20:10.579><c> are</c><00:20:10.900><c> dead</c><00:20:11.140><c> to</c><00:20:11.460><c> sin</c><00:20:11.740><c> live</c><00:20:12.160><c> any</c><00:20:12.559><c> longer</c><00:20:12.940><c> therein?</c>

00:20:14.259 --> 00:20:17.680
In<00:20:14.319><c> Romans</c><00:20:14.599><c> 6,</c><00:20:15.119><c> it</c><00:20:15.180><c> may</c><00:20:15.220><c> be</c><00:20:15.480><c> divided</c><00:20:15.920><c> into</c><00:20:16.220><c> two</c><00:20:16.519><c> halves.</c>

00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:19.740
The<00:20:18.119><c> first</c><00:20:18.460><c> half</c><00:20:18.759><c> says,</c>

00:20:19.779 --> 00:20:24.359
look,<00:20:20.140><c> when</c><00:20:20.420><c> you're</c><00:20:20.819><c> in</c><00:20:21.440><c> Christ,</c><00:20:21.920><c> you</c><00:20:22.400><c> can't</c><00:20:23.460><c> sin.</c>

00:20:25.299 --> 00:20:27.119
And<00:20:25.579><c> then</c><00:20:25.720><c> the</c><00:20:25.900><c> second</c><00:20:26.160><c> half</c><00:20:26.559><c> says,</c>

00:20:27.579 --> 00:20:30.559
when<00:20:27.700><c> you're</c><00:20:27.960><c> in</c><00:20:28.339><c> Christ,</c><00:20:28.779><c> you</c><00:20:28.980><c> mustn't</c><00:20:29.539><c> sin.</c>

00:20:31.559 --> 00:20:34.440
You<00:20:32.079><c> can't?</c><00:20:32.599><c> You</c><00:20:32.980><c> can't.</c>

00:20:34.579 --> 00:20:35.460
If<00:20:34.599><c> you're</c><00:20:34.740><c> really</c><00:20:34.980><c> in</c><00:20:35.200><c> Christ,</c>

00:20:35.599 --> 00:20:37.480
the<00:20:35.700><c> Spirit</c><00:20:35.960><c> of</c><00:20:36.099><c> the</c><00:20:36.200><c> Lord</c><00:20:36.339><c> is</c><00:20:36.519><c> there.</c>

00:20:37.700 --> 00:20:39.440
But<00:20:37.859><c> anyway,</c><00:20:38.200><c> you</c><00:20:38.400><c> mustn't.</c>

00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:41.920
And<00:20:40.079><c> so</c><00:20:40.180><c> he</c><00:20:40.319><c> has</c><00:20:40.539><c> got</c><00:20:40.779><c> both</c><00:20:41.059><c> halves</c><00:20:41.359><c> of</c><00:20:41.500><c> the</c><00:20:41.640><c> question.</c>

00:20:41.980 --> 00:20:44.859
Now<00:20:42.140><c> we</c><00:20:42.579><c> usually</c><00:20:43.059><c> concentrate</c><00:20:43.720><c> on</c><00:20:43.900><c> the</c><00:20:44.099><c> mustn't,</c>

00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:51.220

00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:54.059

00:20:57.500 --> 00:21:00.880

00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:26.420
we<00:21:23.720><c> took</c><00:21:24.039><c> hold</c><00:21:24.400><c> of</c><00:21:24.700><c> the</c><00:21:24.839><c> death</c><00:21:25.039><c> of</c><00:21:25.220><c> the</c><00:21:25.319><c> Lord</c><00:21:25.539><c> Jesus</c><00:21:25.920><c> Christ,</c>

00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:32.059

00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:53.099
Now<00:21:50.619><c> that's</c><00:21:50.720><c> one</c><00:21:50.839><c> of</c><00:21:50.940><c> those</c><00:21:51.119><c> things</c><00:21:51.299><c> we</c><00:21:51.440><c> can't</c><00:21:51.740><c> fully</c><00:21:52.019><c> explain</c><00:21:52.619><c> altogether.</c>

00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:54.599

00:21:54.599 --> 00:22:00.480
Let's<00:21:54.940><c> accept</c><00:21:55.220><c> the</c><00:21:55.440><c> fact,</c><00:21:56.019><c> anyway,</c><00:21:57.059><c> that</c><00:21:57.480><c> in</c><00:21:59.039><c> Christ,</c>

00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:03.640

00:22:09.339 --> 00:22:11.539
That's<00:22:09.619><c> the</c><00:22:09.759><c> cross</c><00:22:09.900><c> of</c><00:22:10.079><c> Christ.</c>

00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:17.440

00:22:17.940 --> 00:22:19.660
The<00:22:18.140><c> life</c><00:22:18.420><c> which</c><00:22:18.599><c> I</c><00:22:18.819><c> now</c><00:22:19.079><c> live</c><00:22:19.200><c> in</c><00:22:19.339><c> the</c><00:22:19.539><c> flesh,</c>

00:22:19.819 --> 00:22:21.700
I<00:22:19.880><c> live</c><00:22:20.059><c> by</c><00:22:20.279><c> the</c><00:22:20.440><c> faith</c><00:22:20.579><c> of</c><00:22:20.759><c> the</c><00:22:20.839><c> Son</c><00:22:21.019><c> of</c><00:22:21.200><c> Man,</c>

00:22:25.579 --> 00:22:29.579
So<00:22:25.720><c> it</c><00:22:25.819><c> is</c><00:22:25.940><c> no</c><00:22:26.119><c> longer</c><00:22:26.359><c> I</c><00:22:26.740><c> who</c><00:22:26.960><c> live,</c><00:22:27.180><c> but</c><00:22:27.319><c> he</c><00:22:27.960><c> who</c><00:22:28.220><c> dwelleth</c><00:22:28.460><c> in</c><00:22:28.619><c> me.</c>

00:22:29.819 --> 00:22:31.480
That's<00:22:30.200><c> the</c><00:22:30.339><c> message.</c>

00:22:31.779 --> 00:22:34.519
How<00:22:32.019><c> shall</c><00:22:32.299><c> we</c><00:22:32.660><c> that</c><00:22:32.839><c> are</c><00:22:33.279><c> dead,</c>

00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:54.500
We<00:22:52.680><c> think</c><00:22:52.839><c> this</c><00:22:53.019><c> is</c><00:22:53.200><c> a</c><00:22:53.380><c> first</c><00:22:53.640><c> principle</c><00:22:54.140><c> chapter,</c>

00:22:56.619 --> 00:22:58.700
It's<00:22:56.819><c> a</c><00:22:56.920><c> lot</c><00:22:57.039><c> deeper</c><00:22:57.319><c> than</c><00:22:57.599><c> that.</c>

00:23:00.539 --> 00:23:02.779

00:23:02.859 --> 00:23:05.940
We<00:23:03.000><c> were</c><00:23:03.240><c> baptized</c><00:23:03.960><c> into</c><00:23:04.380><c> his</c><00:23:04.839><c> death.</c>

00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:08.819

00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:18.859
It's<00:23:17.660><c> been</c><00:23:17.940><c> done.</c>

00:23:19.259 --> 00:23:21.839
We<00:23:19.579><c> have</c><00:23:19.779><c> received</c><00:23:20.279><c> it.</c>

00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:24.059

00:23:24.359 --> 00:23:26.299
We<00:23:24.559><c> must</c><00:23:24.819><c> recognize</c><00:23:25.500><c> what</c><00:23:25.779><c> happened,</c>

It's<00:26:03.339><c> not</c><00:26:03.400><c> something</c><00:26:03.579><c> that</c><00:26:03.759><c> we've</c><00:26:04.119><c> invented,</c>

00:26:04.579 --> 00:26:06.640

00:26:24.700 --> 00:26:26.740

00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:57.819

00:27:20.539 --> 00:27:22.400
When<00:27:20.720><c> anybody</c><00:27:21.059><c> comes</c><00:27:21.299><c> up</c><00:27:21.480><c> and</c><00:27:21.640><c> asks</c><00:27:21.819><c> you</c><00:27:22.000><c> whether</c><00:27:22.140><c> you're</c>

00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:21.039
So<00:28:18.160><c> it's</c><00:28:19.700><c> crucified</c><00:28:20.160><c> through</c><00:28:20.519><c> weakness.</c>

00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:24.420

00:28:24.779 --> 00:28:26.039
It's<00:28:25.099><c> like</c><00:28:25.259><c> Jehoshaphat,</c>

00:28:35.799 --> 00:28:37.480
It's<00:28:35.880><c> men</c><00:28:36.039><c> and</c><00:28:36.200><c> women</c><00:28:36.339><c> who</c><00:28:36.500><c> have</c><00:28:36.599><c> been</c><00:28:36.759><c> brought</c><00:28:37.039><c> right</c><00:28:37.319><c> to</c>

but<00:37:49.360><c> if</c><00:37:49.519><c> her</c><00:37:49.679><c> husband</c><00:37:49.980><c> be</c><00:37:50.280><c> dead,</c>

00:37:51.480 --> 00:37:53.239
then<00:37:51.559><c> she</c><00:37:51.679><c> can</c><00:37:51.880><c> go</c><00:37:52.079><c> and</c><00:37:52.199><c> marry</c><00:37:52.360><c> somebody</c><00:37:52.800><c> else,</c>

00:37:53.260 --> 00:37:54.500
and<00:37:53.420><c> she</c><00:37:53.559><c> won't</c><00:37:53.739><c> be</c><00:37:53.940><c> an</c><00:37:54.079><c> adulteress,</c>

00:37:54.500 --> 00:37:56.400
even<00:37:54.679><c> though</c><00:37:54.880><c> she</c><00:37:55.119><c> marries</c><00:37:55.320><c> somebody</c><00:37:55.739><c> else.</c>

00:37:56.400 --> 00:38:01.340
So<00:37:57.219><c> that's</c><00:37:57.500><c> the</c><00:37:57.760><c> parable</c><00:37:58.119><c> of</c><00:37:59.260><c> marriage</c><00:37:59.900><c> under</c><00:38:00.260><c> the</c><00:38:00.480><c> law.</c>

00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:04.679
And<00:38:02.239><c> it's</c><00:38:02.420><c> the</c><00:38:02.579><c> picture,</c><00:38:03.380><c> the</c><00:38:03.639><c> parable</c><00:38:03.980><c> is</c><00:38:04.199><c> the</c><00:38:04.360><c> picture</c>

00:38:05.159 --> 00:38:09.820
of<00:38:05.800><c> a</c><00:38:06.099><c> good</c><00:38:06.320><c> husband,</c><00:38:08.579><c> Mr.</c><00:38:09.320><c> Law.</c>

00:38:10.940 --> 00:38:15.719
And<00:38:11.099><c> this</c><00:38:11.219><c> good</c><00:38:11.400><c> husband</c><00:38:11.800><c> is</c><00:38:11.980><c> very</c><00:38:12.280><c> precise</c><00:38:13.139><c> and</c><00:38:13.920><c> very</c><00:38:14.300><c> exacting.</c>

00:38:16.099 --> 00:38:19.840
But<00:38:16.239><c> the</c><00:38:16.400><c> trouble</c><00:38:16.639><c> with</c><00:38:16.920><c> Mr.</c><00:38:17.360><c> Law</c><00:38:17.539><c> is</c><00:38:18.019><c> that</c><00:38:18.519><c> poor</c><00:38:19.219><c> woman</c>

00:38:19.840 --> 00:38:23.320
that's<00:38:20.320><c> married</c><00:38:20.539><c> to</c><00:38:20.800><c> him,</c><00:38:21.619><c> she</c><00:38:21.860><c> can</c><00:38:22.119><c> never</c><00:38:22.440><c> please</c><00:38:22.840><c> him.</c>

00:38:23.320 --> 00:38:25.900
She<00:38:23.699><c> can</c><00:38:23.940><c> never</c><00:38:24.139><c> do</c><00:38:24.360><c> the</c><00:38:24.519><c> right</c><00:38:24.800><c> thing.</c>

00:38:26.420 --> 00:38:28.360
You<00:38:26.559><c> know</c><00:38:26.760><c> the</c><00:38:26.920><c> kind</c><00:38:27.079><c> of</c><00:38:27.320><c> situation,</c><00:38:27.639><c> you</c><00:38:27.739><c> actually</c><00:38:27.980><c> see</c><00:38:28.179><c> it</c>

00:38:28.360 --> 00:38:30.219
in<00:38:28.500><c> some</c><00:38:28.699><c> marriages,</c><00:38:29.139><c> don't</c><00:38:29.440><c> you?</c>

00:38:30.980 --> 00:38:32.679
Everything<00:38:31.400><c> she</c><00:38:31.619><c> does</c><00:38:31.840><c> is</c><00:38:32.079><c> just</c><00:38:32.360><c> wrong,</c>

00:38:32.760 --> 00:38:34.179
and<00:38:32.920><c> he</c><00:38:32.940><c> comes</c><00:38:33.219><c> home</c><00:38:33.500><c> precise,</c><00:38:34.079><c> he</c><00:38:34.079><c> says,</c>

that's<00:38:34.539><c> in</c><00:38:34.659><c> the</c><00:38:34.800><c> wrong</c><00:38:34.980><c> place,</c><00:38:35.239><c> you</c><00:38:35.400><c> haven't</c><00:38:35.619><c> done</c><00:38:35.900><c> that,</c>

00:38:36.420 --> 00:38:39.500
you've<00:38:36.739><c> overcooked</c><00:38:37.139><c> this</c><00:38:37.519><c> joint</c><00:38:37.760><c> and</c><00:38:37.940><c> all</c><00:38:38.139><c> the</c><00:38:38.239><c> rest</c><00:38:38.420><c> of</c><00:38:38.559><c> it.</c>

00:38:39.880 --> 00:38:42.539

married<00:38:42.980><c> to</c><00:38:43.280><c> Law,</c><00:38:45.320><c> because</c><00:38:45.900><c> Law</c><00:38:47.460><c> is</c><00:38:47.800><c> so</c><00:38:48.059><c> holy.</c>

00:38:49.619 --> 00:38:52.800

00:39:04.039 --> 00:39:07.599
Law<00:39:04.480><c> is</c><00:39:04.920><c> holy,</c><00:39:05.440><c> God's</c><00:39:05.719><c> law,</c><00:39:06.360><c> the</c><00:39:06.579><c> commandment</c><00:39:07.119><c> is</c><00:39:07.320><c> holy</c>

00:40:17.539 --> 00:40:21.019
Wherefore,<00:40:18.039><c> my</c><00:40:18.300><c> brethren,</c><00:40:19.139><c> ye</c><00:40:19.440><c> also</c><00:40:19.980><c> are</c><00:40:20.340><c> become</c><00:40:20.599><c> dead.</c>

00:40:21.219 --> 00:40:23.480
It<00:40:21.300><c> doesn't</c><00:40:21.539><c> say</c><00:40:21.679><c> the</c><00:40:21.860><c> law</c><00:40:21.960><c> became</c><00:40:22.380><c> dead,</c><00:40:22.739><c> you</c><00:40:23.039><c> die.</c>

00:40:32.940 --> 00:40:35.980
that<00:40:33.079><c> ye</c><00:40:33.300><c> should</c><00:40:33.460><c> be</c><00:40:33.699><c> married</c><00:40:33.920><c> to</c><00:40:34.179><c> another,</c><00:40:34.780><c> to</c><00:40:35.019><c> Christ,</c>

00:40:38.599 --> 00:40:42.519
that<00:40:38.860><c> we</c><00:40:39.099><c> should</c><00:40:39.280><c> bring</c><00:40:39.500><c> forth</c><00:40:39.840><c> fruit,</c><00:40:40.280><c> have</c><00:40:40.340><c> children</c><00:40:40.900><c> unto</c><00:40:41.400><c> God.</c>

00:40:42.840 --> 00:40:47.599
So<00:40:43.159><c> there</c><00:40:43.500><c> is</c><00:40:43.699><c> the</c><00:40:43.860><c> wonder</c><00:40:44.199><c> that</c><00:40:45.280><c> as</c><00:40:45.619><c> the</c><00:40:45.780><c> woman,</c><00:40:46.280><c> we</c><00:40:46.559><c> die,</c>

00:40:50.639 --> 00:40:54.579
But<00:40:50.880><c> you</c><00:40:51.139><c> say,</c><00:40:53.199><c> after</c><00:40:53.500><c> you've</c><00:40:53.679><c> been</c><00:40:53.820><c> married</c><00:40:54.000><c> to</c><00:40:54.219><c> Christ</c><00:40:54.420><c> for</c>

a<00:40:54.639><c> little</c><00:40:54.800><c> while,</c>

00:40:55.099 --> 00:40:57.500
if<00:40:55.280><c> you</c><00:40:55.440><c> don't</c><00:40:55.780><c> get</c><00:40:56.039><c> the</c><00:40:56.239><c> message</c><00:40:56.519><c> properly,</c>

00:40:57.659 --> 00:40:59.699
have<00:40:57.820><c> I</c><00:40:58.019><c> made</c><00:40:58.159><c> the</c><00:40:58.340><c> right</c><00:40:58.559><c> choice?</c>

00:41:00.260 --> 00:41:03.760
By<00:41:00.500><c> word</c><00:41:00.599><c> of</c><00:41:00.719><c> the</c><00:41:00.840><c> Ten</c><00:41:00.980><c> Commandments</c><00:41:01.539><c> and</c><00:41:01.800><c> the</c><00:41:01.960><c> Law</c><00:41:02.139><c> was</c><00:41:02.420><c> hard</c><00:41:02.699><c> enough,</c>

00:41:03.860 --> 00:41:05.039
thou<00:41:03.960><c> shalt</c><00:41:04.239><c> not</c><00:41:04.559><c> kill.</c>

00:41:05.039 --> 00:41:08.239
But<00:41:05.940><c> Christ</c><00:41:06.280><c> says,</c><00:41:06.659><c> you</c><00:41:06.679><c> shalt</c><00:41:06.940><c> not</c><00:41:07.239><c> even</c><00:41:07.239><c> hate,</c>

00:41:08.480 --> 00:41:10.000
shalt<00:41:08.659><c> not</c><00:41:08.800><c> even</c><00:41:08.980><c> want</c><00:41:09.159><c> to</c><00:41:09.400><c> kill.</c>

00:41:10.320 --> 00:41:11.760
Thou<00:41:10.460><c> shalt</c><00:41:10.699><c> not</c><00:41:10.900><c> commit</c><00:41:11.179><c> adultery,</c>

00:41:11.960 --> 00:41:14.360
but<00:41:12.179><c> Christ</c><00:41:12.420><c> says,</c><00:41:12.760><c> you</c><00:41:12.820><c> shalt</c><00:41:13.099><c> not</c><00:41:13.159><c> even</c><00:41:13.420><c> look.</c>

00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:20.019
Oh<00:41:14.860><c> dear,</c><00:41:17.000><c> he's</c><00:41:17.380><c> more</c><00:41:17.699><c> exacting</c><00:41:18.159><c> than</c><00:41:18.260><c> my</c><00:41:18.480><c> last</c><00:41:18.800><c> husband.</c>

00:41:20.800 --> 00:41:23.280
But<00:41:21.119><c> there's</c><00:41:21.539><c> one</c><00:41:21.900><c> difference.</c>

00:41:23.880 --> 00:41:28.539
He<00:41:24.480><c> lifts</c><00:41:25.039><c> his</c><00:41:25.519><c> shoulder</c><00:41:25.960><c> to</c><00:41:26.159><c> the</c><00:41:26.360><c> burden</c><00:41:26.659><c> where</c><00:41:27.099><c> law</c><00:41:27.579><c> couldn't.</c>

00:41:28.699 --> 00:41:29.840
There<00:41:28.980><c> could</c><00:41:29.000><c> be</c><00:41:29.119><c> no</c><00:41:29.300><c> deviation.</c>

00:41:29.840 --> 00:41:35.500
He<00:41:31.019><c> dwells</c><00:41:32.280><c> within</c><00:41:32.760><c> and</c><00:41:34.280><c> shares</c><00:41:34.780><c> the</c><00:41:35.119><c> burden,</c>

00:41:35.900 --> 00:41:39.159
lifts<00:41:36.340><c> it</c><00:41:36.760><c> off</c><00:41:37.159><c> the</c><00:41:37.360><c> shoulders</c><00:41:37.800><c> of</c><00:41:38.320><c> the</c><00:41:38.500><c> poor</c><00:41:38.699><c> wife.</c>

00:41:39.619 --> 00:41:42.000
Come<00:41:39.739><c> unto</c><00:41:39.980><c> me,</c><00:41:40.800><c> all</c><00:41:40.880><c> ye</c><00:41:41.039><c> that</c><00:41:41.139><c> are</c><00:41:41.360><c> heavy</c><00:41:41.639><c> laden,</c>

00:41:42.059 --> 00:41:44.820
and<00:41:42.219><c> I</c><00:41:42.639><c> will</c><00:41:42.980><c> give</c><00:41:43.199><c> you</c><00:41:43.539><c> rest.</c>

00:41:45.199 --> 00:41:48.260
So<00:41:45.440><c> you</c><00:41:45.659><c> see,</c><00:41:46.960><c> this</c><00:41:47.139><c> is</c><00:41:47.340><c> the</c><00:41:47.480><c> key.</c>

00:41:48.719 --> 00:41:51.099
He<00:41:48.940><c> lifts</c><00:41:49.300><c> the</c><00:41:49.599><c> burden,</c><00:41:49.980><c> he</c><00:41:50.219><c> shares</c><00:41:50.460><c> it.</c>

00:41:51.400 --> 00:41:54.800
If<00:41:51.880><c> we'll</c><00:41:52.219><c> let</c><00:41:52.380><c> him,</c><00:41:52.940><c> if</c><00:41:53.400><c> we'll</c><00:41:53.840><c> yield.</c>

00:41:55.820 --> 00:41:59.119
And<00:41:56.000><c> in</c><00:41:56.099><c> this</c><00:41:56.300><c> connection,</c><00:41:57.820><c> I</c><00:41:58.139><c> think</c><00:41:58.320><c> of</c><00:41:58.460><c> a</c><00:41:58.579><c> little</c><00:41:58.739><c> episode</c>

00:41:59.119 --> 00:42:00.980
that<00:41:59.219><c> occurred</c><00:41:59.579><c> to</c><00:41:59.780><c> me,</c><00:41:59.860><c> I</c><00:41:59.940><c> was</c><00:42:00.059><c> telling</c><00:42:00.199><c> them</c><00:42:00.340><c> this</c><00:42:00.480><c> in</c><00:42:00.619><c> Detroit,</c>

00:42:01.099 --> 00:42:03.659
but<00:42:01.199><c> there's</c><00:42:01.300><c> nobody</c><00:42:01.480><c> from</c><00:42:01.619><c> Detroit</c><00:42:02.000><c> here</c><00:42:02.239><c> today,</c><00:42:02.500><c> I</c><00:42:02.539><c> don't</c><00:42:02.699><c> think.</c>

00:42:05.760 --> 00:42:09.000
You<00:42:06.199><c> have</c><00:42:06.599><c> the</c><00:42:06.840><c> Salvation</c><00:42:07.139><c> Army</c><00:42:07.400><c> over</c><00:42:07.679><c> here</c><00:42:07.880><c> in</c><00:42:08.219><c> the</c><00:42:08.420><c> United</c><00:42:08.679><c> States,</c>

00:42:09.199 --> 00:42:09.400
don't<00:42:09.260><c> you?</c>

00:42:09.480 --> 00:42:14.619
Well,<00:42:09.800><c> Salvation</c><00:42:10.300><c> Army,</c><00:42:11.000><c> they</c><00:42:11.280><c> run</c><00:42:11.420><c> hostels</c><00:42:12.159><c> for</c><00:42:13.380><c> down</c><00:42:14.000><c> and</c><00:42:14.199><c> outs,</c>

00:42:15.099 --> 00:42:17.820
but<00:42:15.179><c> they</c><00:42:15.280><c> also</c><00:42:15.599><c> in</c><00:42:15.880><c> London</c><00:42:16.239><c> run</c><00:42:16.480><c> quite</c><00:42:16.739><c> a</c><00:42:16.880><c> nice</c><00:42:17.079><c> hotel</c>

00:42:17.820 --> 00:42:20.059
that<00:42:18.639><c> I</c><00:42:18.820><c> find</c><00:42:19.039><c> quite</c><00:42:19.300><c> attractive,</c>

00:42:20.340 --> 00:42:22.619
because<00:42:20.579><c> it's</c><00:42:20.800><c> cheaper</c><00:42:21.079><c> than</c><00:42:21.239><c> any</c><00:42:21.460><c> of</c><00:42:21.539><c> the</c><00:42:21.679><c> others.</c>

00:42:24.920 --> 00:42:27.840
And<00:42:25.360><c> usually</c><00:42:25.800><c> I</c><00:42:26.000><c> stock</c><00:42:26.159><c> with</c><00:42:26.340><c> brethren</c><00:42:26.559><c> and</c><00:42:26.780><c> sisters</c>

00:42:28.019 --> 00:42:31.539
like<00:42:28.559><c> Fred</c><00:42:28.980><c> Barling</c><00:42:29.519><c> and</c><00:42:29.739><c> others</c><00:42:29.980><c> when</c><00:42:30.199><c> I'm</c><00:42:30.360><c> down</c><00:42:30.539><c> in</c><00:42:30.679><c> London.</c>

00:42:32.000 --> 00:42:33.340
But<00:42:32.139><c> occasionally</c><00:42:32.619><c> it</c><00:42:32.739><c> isn't</c><00:42:33.019><c> convenient,</c>

00:42:33.519 --> 00:42:36.360
and<00:42:33.579><c> I</c><00:42:33.860><c> always</c><00:42:34.079><c> go</c><00:42:34.260><c> and</c><00:42:34.420><c> stop</c><00:42:34.559><c> at</c><00:42:34.739><c> this</c><00:42:35.260><c> Salvation</c><00:42:35.639><c> Army</c><00:42:35.920><c> hotel.</c>

00:42:36.420 --> 00:42:39.519
It's<00:42:36.579><c> rather</c><00:42:36.880><c> nice,</c><00:42:37.280><c> there's</c><00:42:37.500><c> no</c><00:42:38.119><c> people</c><00:42:38.539><c> staggering</c><00:42:39.039><c> around</c>

00:42:39.519 --> 00:42:41.760
with<00:42:39.739><c> too</c><00:42:39.940><c> much</c><00:42:40.239><c> drink</c><00:42:40.480><c> inside</c><00:42:40.980><c> them</c><00:42:41.199><c> because</c><00:42:41.340><c> they</c><00:42:41.500><c> don't</c>

00:45:13.880 --> 00:45:16.179
Oh<00:45:14.139><c> wretched</c><00:45:14.659><c> man</c><00:45:15.079><c> that</c><00:45:15.380><c> I</c><00:45:15.699><c> am.</c>

00:45:16.579 --> 00:45:18.639
That's<00:45:16.719><c> just</c><00:45:16.880><c> how</c><00:45:16.960><c> we</c><00:45:17.219><c> feel</c><00:45:17.460><c> repeatedly.</c>

00:45:19.199 --> 00:45:22.840
As<00:45:19.340><c> we</c><00:45:19.639><c> try,</c><00:45:20.880><c> we</c><00:45:21.019><c> discover</c><00:45:21.579><c> how</c><00:45:22.159><c> wretched</c><00:45:22.420><c> we</c><00:45:22.699><c> are.</c>

00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:25.400
In<00:45:22.980><c> fact,</c><00:45:23.219><c> as</c><00:45:23.320><c> it</c><00:45:23.519><c> says</c><00:45:23.639><c> earlier</c><00:45:24.239><c> in</c><00:45:24.699><c> that</c><00:45:24.980><c> chapter,</c>

00:45:25.820 --> 00:45:27.860
By<00:45:25.920><c> the</c><00:45:26.219><c> law</c><00:45:26.500><c> is</c><00:45:26.780><c> the</c><00:45:26.960><c> knowledge</c><00:45:27.300><c> of</c><00:45:27.659><c> sin.</c>

00:45:27.960 --> 00:45:31.340
The<00:45:28.099><c> more</c><00:45:28.340><c> we</c><00:45:28.599><c> try</c><00:45:28.800><c> to</c><00:45:29.079><c> keep</c><00:45:29.239><c> it,</c><00:45:29.679><c> the</c><00:45:29.900><c> more</c><00:45:30.219><c> we</c><00:45:30.480><c> seem</c><00:45:30.699><c> to</c><00:45:31.019><c> fail.</c>

00:45:31.699 --> 00:45:34.360
The<00:45:31.960><c> more</c><00:45:32.440><c> law</c><00:45:32.860><c> spotlights</c><00:45:33.760><c> our</c><00:45:34.059><c> weakness.</c>

00:45:34.480 --> 00:45:36.900
You<00:45:34.599><c> might</c><00:45:34.880><c> really</c><00:45:35.300><c> say</c><00:45:35.519><c> that</c><00:45:35.699><c> God</c><00:45:35.900><c> gave</c><00:45:36.219><c> us</c><00:45:36.480><c> a</c><00:45:36.659><c> law</c>

00:45:36.900 --> 00:45:40.699
so<00:45:37.420><c> that</c><00:45:37.579><c> by</c><00:45:37.820><c> breaking</c><00:45:38.179><c> it</c><00:45:38.420><c> we</c><00:45:38.639><c> might</c><00:45:38.960><c> learn</c><00:45:39.440><c> how</c><00:45:39.880><c> weak</c><00:45:40.139><c> we</c><00:45:40.440><c> are.</c>

00:45:40.699 --> 00:45:42.739
That<00:45:41.159><c> we</c><00:45:41.300><c> might</c><00:45:41.500><c> be</c><00:45:41.820><c> brought</c><00:45:42.039><c> to</c><00:45:42.280><c> our</c><00:45:42.460><c> knees.</c>

00:45:42.760 --> 00:45:45.619
That<00:45:42.860><c> we</c><00:45:43.000><c> might</c><00:45:43.219><c> be</c><00:45:43.539><c> brought</c><00:45:43.840><c> to</c><00:45:44.519><c> dependence</c><00:45:45.039><c> upon</c><00:45:45.420><c> him.</c>

00:45:45.659 --> 00:45:47.300
That's<00:45:45.960><c> really</c><00:45:46.260><c> the</c><00:45:46.380><c> purpose</c><00:45:46.760><c> of</c><00:45:47.059><c> law.</c>

00:45:47.679 --> 00:45:50.099
So<00:45:47.820><c> that</c><00:45:47.940><c> if</c><00:45:48.159><c> Adam</c><00:45:48.360><c> had</c><00:45:48.619><c> succeeded</c><00:45:49.219><c> and</c><00:45:49.619><c> Adam</c><00:45:49.820><c> and</c><00:45:49.940><c> Eve</c>

00:45:50.099 --> 00:45:52.900
had<00:45:50.320><c> walked</c><00:45:50.480><c> out</c><00:45:50.699><c> of</c><00:45:50.840><c> the</c><00:45:50.940><c> Garden</c><00:45:51.260><c> of</c><00:45:51.460><c> Eden</c><00:45:51.619><c> head</c><00:45:52.019><c> high,</c>

00:45:53.219 --> 00:45:54.920
having<00:45:53.320><c> been</c><00:45:53.659><c> completely</c><00:45:54.360><c> victorious,</c>

00:45:54.980 --> 00:45:57.079
or<00:45:55.139><c> at</c><00:45:55.139><c> least</c><00:45:55.320><c> they'd</c><00:45:55.559><c> have</c><00:45:55.619><c> stayed</c><00:45:55.760><c> in</c><00:45:55.900><c> the</c><00:45:56.000><c> Garden</c><00:45:56.260><c> of</c><00:45:56.420><c> Eden,</c>

00:45:57.420 --> 00:45:59.579
then<00:45:57.619><c> the</c><00:45:57.739><c> whole</c><00:45:57.940><c> situation</c><00:45:58.480><c> wouldn't</c><00:45:58.719><c> have</c><00:45:58.860><c> been</c><00:45:58.980><c> so</c><00:45:59.199><c> good.</c>

00:45:59.980 --> 00:46:04.500
As<00:46:00.139><c> an</c><00:46:00.420><c> Adam</c><00:46:00.659><c> and</c><00:46:00.780><c> an</c><00:46:01.019><c> Eve</c><00:46:01.679><c> who</c><00:46:02.059><c> failed</c><00:46:02.500><c> and</c><00:46:02.820><c> learnt</c><00:46:03.059><c> their</c><00:46:03.440><c> need.</c>

00:46:04.940 --> 00:46:06.980
So<00:46:05.059><c> you</c><00:46:05.159><c> might</c><00:46:05.340><c> say,</c><00:46:05.760><c> see,</c><00:46:05.860><c> that</c><00:46:06.000><c> law</c><00:46:06.380><c> was</c><00:46:06.619><c> given</c>

00:46:06.980 --> 00:46:10.300
that<00:46:07.460><c> men</c><00:46:07.840><c> might</c><00:46:08.320><c> learn</c><00:46:09.400><c> their</c><00:46:09.920><c> need.</c>

00:46:10.300 --> 00:46:13.179
That's<00:46:10.579><c> how</c><00:46:10.760><c> it</c><00:46:10.840><c> was</c><00:46:11.019><c> a</c><00:46:11.320><c> schoolmaster</c><00:46:11.900><c> or</c><00:46:12.119><c> a</c><00:46:12.420><c> child</c><00:46:12.780><c> leader</c>

00:46:13.179 --> 00:46:15.519
to<00:46:13.780><c> lead</c><00:46:14.340><c> unto</c><00:46:14.860><c> Christ.</c>

00:46:15.599 --> 00:46:17.380
To<00:46:15.900><c> spotlight</c><00:46:16.519><c> our</c><00:46:16.880><c> weakness</c>

00:46:17.380 --> 00:46:20.659
and<00:46:18.199><c> lead</c><00:46:18.480><c> us</c><00:46:18.659><c> to</c><00:46:18.840><c> the</c><00:46:19.019><c> source</c><00:46:19.260><c> of</c><00:46:19.699><c> strength.</c>

00:46:20.699 --> 00:46:23.360
But<00:46:20.920><c> you</c><00:46:21.119><c> say</c><00:46:21.260><c> there</c><00:46:21.440><c> is</c><00:46:21.719><c> this</c><00:46:21.920><c> struggle</c><00:46:22.340><c> there.</c>

00:46:23.539 --> 00:46:27.619
Now,<00:46:24.179><c> it</c><00:46:24.360><c> just</c><00:46:24.639><c> depends</c><00:46:25.179><c> how</c><00:46:25.480><c> you</c><00:46:25.760><c> read</c><00:46:26.199><c> Romans</c><00:46:26.719><c> 7.</c>

00:46:27.840 --> 00:46:30.900
I<00:46:28.159><c> would</c><00:46:28.440><c> read</c><00:46:28.679><c> those</c><00:46:29.039><c> words</c><00:46:29.340><c> like</c><00:46:29.659><c> this</c><00:46:30.219><c> wretched</c><00:46:30.559><c> woman.</c>

00:46:30.940 --> 00:46:33.860
You<00:46:31.139><c> ask</c><00:46:31.460><c> yourself,</c><00:46:32.079><c> wretched</c><00:46:32.340><c> man</c><00:46:32.639><c> that</c><00:46:32.860><c> I</c><00:46:33.079><c> am?</c>

00:46:34.019 --> 00:46:36.340
Do<00:46:34.179><c> we</c><00:46:34.400><c> feel</c><00:46:34.659><c> wretched</c><00:46:35.039><c> this</c><00:46:35.400><c> week?</c>

00:46:36.500 --> 00:46:38.559
After<00:46:36.639><c> the</c><00:46:36.920><c> things</c><00:46:37.159><c> we've</c><00:46:37.460><c> been</c><00:46:37.699><c> saying</c><00:46:37.940><c> about</c><00:46:38.219><c> the</c><00:46:38.380><c> Lord</c>

00:46:38.559 --> 00:46:39.599
Jesus<00:46:38.980><c> Christ?</c>

00:46:39.599 --> 00:46:41.059
Of<00:46:40.460><c> course</c><00:46:40.639><c> we</c><00:46:40.800><c> don't.</c>

00:46:41.239 --> 00:46:45.059
We<00:46:41.260><c> feel</c><00:46:41.400><c> full</c><00:46:41.679><c> of</c><00:46:42.059><c> joy</c><00:46:42.440><c> and</c><00:46:43.480><c> light</c><00:46:43.739><c> of</c><00:46:44.119><c> touch</c><00:46:44.320><c> and</c><00:46:44.639><c> hearts.</c>

00:46:45.239 --> 00:46:46.440
Whatever<00:46:45.460><c> our</c><00:46:45.739><c> problems</c><00:46:46.139><c> even.</c>

00:46:46.480 --> 00:46:48.500
They<00:46:46.639><c> seem</c><00:46:46.820><c> just</c><00:46:47.059><c> a</c><00:46:47.139><c> little</c><00:46:47.360><c> bit</c><00:46:47.619><c> less.</c>

00:46:48.679 --> 00:46:53.139
Because<00:46:48.940><c> we</c><00:46:49.179><c> know</c><00:46:49.800><c> of</c><00:46:50.440><c> the</c><00:46:50.659><c> Saviour's</c><00:46:51.179><c> power</c><00:46:51.400><c> to</c><00:46:51.639><c> redeem</c><00:46:51.960><c> and</c><00:46:52.219><c> help.</c>

00:46:54.559 --> 00:46:55.800
Wretched<00:46:54.920><c> man</c><00:46:55.219><c> that</c><00:46:55.460><c> I</c><00:46:55.639><c> am?</c>

00:46:55.960 --> 00:46:58.199
No,<00:46:56.559><c> rejoice</c><00:46:56.980><c> evermore.</c>

00:46:58.260 --> 00:47:00.460
What's<00:46:58.599><c> the</c><00:46:58.840><c> explanation</c><00:46:59.519><c> then?</c>

00:47:01.579 --> 00:47:03.480
Well,<00:47:02.000><c> here</c><00:47:02.199><c> it</c><00:47:02.400><c> is,</c><00:47:02.619><c> I</c><00:47:02.840><c> think.</c>

00:47:03.760 --> 00:47:06.260
Entitled<00:47:04.239><c> to</c><00:47:04.440><c> disagree,</c><00:47:04.780><c> of</c><00:47:05.039><c> course.</c>

00:47:06.760 --> 00:47:11.019
That<00:47:07.380><c> which</c><00:47:07.960><c> I</c><00:47:08.699><c> do,</c><00:47:09.139><c> I</c><00:47:09.440><c> allow</c><00:47:09.760><c> not.</c>

00:47:11.039 --> 00:47:17.340
For<00:47:11.179><c> what</c><00:47:11.760><c> I</c><00:47:12.920><c> would,</c><00:47:14.340><c> that</c><00:47:15.000><c> do</c><00:47:15.639><c> I</c><00:47:16.119><c> not.</c>

00:47:17.960 --> 00:47:22.699
What<00:47:18.460><c> I</c><00:47:19.219><c> hate,</c><00:47:20.980><c> that</c><00:47:21.400><c> do</c><00:47:21.699><c> I.</c>

00:47:22.920 --> 00:47:29.880
And<00:47:23.539><c> the</c><00:47:23.679><c> good</c><00:47:23.840><c> that</c><00:47:24.440><c> I</c><00:47:25.280><c> would,</c><00:47:27.159><c> I</c><00:47:27.960><c> do</c><00:47:28.920><c> not.</c>

00:47:30.280 --> 00:47:31.360
Have<00:47:30.460><c> you</c><00:47:30.480><c> got</c><00:47:30.679><c> it?</c>

00:47:31.360 --> 00:47:35.380
When<00:47:31.960><c> I</c><00:47:32.579><c> say,</c><00:47:33.599><c> I,</c><00:47:34.099><c> Edgar</c><00:47:34.280><c> Willey,</c><00:47:34.719><c> say</c><00:47:34.940><c> to</c><00:47:35.059><c> myself,</c>

00:47:35.679 --> 00:47:38.380
Edgar,<00:47:36.059><c> you</c><00:47:36.360><c> must</c><00:47:36.739><c> not</c><00:47:37.059><c> do</c><00:47:37.360><c> this.</c>

00:47:38.619 --> 00:47:40.260
Then<00:47:38.840><c> there's</c><00:47:39.260><c> battle.</c>

00:47:40.699 --> 00:47:44.760
Because<00:47:40.860><c> it's</c><00:47:41.260><c> me</c><00:47:41.559><c> in</c><00:47:41.719><c> my</c><00:47:42.039><c> own</c><00:47:42.360><c> strength</c><00:47:43.119><c> trying</c><00:47:43.579><c> to</c><00:47:43.900><c> triumph.</c>

00:47:45.219 --> 00:47:49.519

00:51:01.159 --> 00:51:04.440
You<00:51:01.260><c> hear</c><00:51:01.440><c> them</c><00:51:01.840><c> twittering</c><00:51:02.280><c> in</c><00:51:02.440><c> the</c><00:51:02.579><c> boughs</c><00:51:02.840><c> about</c><00:51:03.119><c> six</c><00:51:03.440><c> o</c><00:51:03.639><c>'clock.</c>

00:51:05.579 --> 00:51:09.139
They<00:51:06.179><c> don't</c><00:51:06.480><c> come</c><00:51:07.039><c> hurtling</c><00:51:07.480><c> to</c><00:51:07.659><c> the</c><00:51:08.079><c> ground.</c><00:51:08.500><c> Why</c><00:51:08.820><c> not?</c>

00:51:09.139 --> 00:51:12.480

00:51:14.599 --> 00:51:17.840
So<00:51:14.760><c> they</c><00:51:14.980><c> stay</c><00:51:15.179><c> afloat</c><00:51:15.559><c> because</c><00:51:15.860><c> they've</c><00:51:16.119><c> got</c><00:51:16.260><c> a</c><00:51:16.519><c> power</c><00:51:16.880><c> within.</c>

00:51:18.219 --> 00:51:20.760

00:51:24.480 --> 00:51:25.920
