00:35:03.500 --> 00:35:08.539
But<00:35:03.599><c> its</c><00:35:03.940><c> preciousness</c><00:35:04.639><c> lay</c><00:35:05.260><c> in</c><00:35:06.239><c> its</c><00:35:06.500><c> spiritual</c><00:35:07.119><c> relations.</c>

00:35:09.300 --> 00:35:12.699
That<00:35:09.519><c> is,</c><00:35:09.800><c> it</c><00:35:09.900><c> was</c><00:35:10.320><c> precious</c><00:35:10.800><c> because</c><00:35:11.519><c> of</c><00:35:11.699><c> what</c><00:35:11.960><c> the</c><00:35:12.360><c> shedding</c>

00:35:21.260 --> 00:35:25.639

00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:35.940
It's<00:35:32.440><c> the</c><00:35:33.460><c> result</c><00:35:33.960><c> that</c><00:35:34.179><c> was</c><00:35:34.460><c> secured</c><00:35:35.019><c> by</c><00:35:35.300><c> the</c><00:35:35.519><c> shedding</c><00:35:35.699><c> of</c>

00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:42.119

00:35:42.940 --> 00:35:44.900
That's<00:35:43.440><c> what's</c><00:35:43.800><c> involved.</c>

00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:49.980

00:36:34.920 --> 00:36:37.440
We<00:36:35.199><c> have</c><00:36:35.420><c> been</c><00:36:35.639><c> sanctified</c><00:36:36.260><c> through</c><00:36:36.480><c> the</c><00:36:36.739><c> offering</c><00:36:37.019><c> of</c><00:36:37.260><c> the</c>

that<00:36:40.039><c> he</c><00:36:40.179><c> might</c><00:36:40.440><c> reconcile</c><00:36:41.139><c> them</c><00:36:41.400><c> in</c><00:36:41.820><c> one</c><00:36:42.139><c> body</c><00:36:42.599><c> through</c><00:36:42.920><c> the</c><00:36:43.300><c> cross.</c>

00:36:45.360 --> 00:36:49.039
We<00:36:45.639><c> were</c><00:36:45.940><c> reconciled</c><00:36:46.500><c> to</c><00:36:46.659><c> God</c><00:36:46.960><c> through</c><00:36:47.219><c> the</c><00:36:47.380><c> death</c><00:36:47.519><c> of</c><00:36:47.739><c> his</c><00:36:48.000><c> Son.</c>

00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:52.960
The<00:36:50.119><c> message</c><00:36:50.420><c> of</c><00:36:50.639><c> the</c><00:36:50.920><c> cross</c><00:36:51.260><c> is</c><00:36:51.659><c> foolishness</c><00:36:52.219><c> to</c><00:36:52.400><c> those</c><00:36:52.739><c> who</c>

00:36:54.760 --> 00:36:57.960
God<00:36:55.079><c> forbid</c><00:36:55.440><c> that</c><00:36:55.659><c> I</c><00:36:55.860><c> should</c><00:36:56.079><c> boast</c><00:36:56.420><c> except</c><00:36:56.880><c> in</c><00:36:57.099><c> the</c><00:36:57.420><c> cross</c><00:36:57.739><c> of</c>

00:36:58.960 --> 00:37:01.039
See,<00:36:59.119><c> that's</c><00:36:59.380><c> what's</c><00:36:59.539><c> being</c><00:37:00.340><c> implied</c><00:37:00.760><c> there,</c>

00:37:01.039 --> 00:37:03.920
that<00:37:01.199><c> it</c><00:37:01.340><c> was</c><00:37:01.579><c> his</c><00:37:01.920><c> redemptive</c><00:37:02.500><c> work</c><00:37:02.699><c> that</c><00:37:02.940><c> makes</c><00:37:03.139><c> the</c><00:37:03.380><c> difference.</c>

00:37:04.300 --> 00:37:08.559
Who<00:37:04.659><c> for</c><00:37:04.880><c> the</c><00:37:05.079><c> joy</c><00:37:05.360><c> that</c><00:37:05.500><c> was</c><00:37:05.760><c> set</c><00:37:05.980><c> before</c><00:37:06.380><c> him</c><00:37:06.619><c> endured</c><00:37:07.139><c> the</c><00:37:07.480><c> cross.</c>

So<00:37:08.920><c> I</c><00:37:09.019><c> hope</c><00:37:09.119><c> that's</c><00:37:09.500><c> a</c><00:37:09.780><c> bit</c><00:37:09.940><c> helpful.</c>

00:37:12.579 --> 00:37:17.000
And<00:37:12.739><c> we</c><00:37:12.880><c> could</c><00:37:13.039><c> even</c><00:37:13.380><c> add</c><00:37:13.900><c> the</c><00:37:15.719><c> one</c><00:37:15.940><c> that</c><00:37:16.139><c> came</c><00:37:16.280><c> up</c><00:37:16.500><c> yesterday</c>

We<00:37:27.800><c> are</c><00:37:28.079><c> healed.</c>

00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:33.159
