00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:07.080
we<00:00:04.339><c> come,</c><00:00:04.519><c> as</c><00:00:04.679><c> it</c><00:00:04.799><c> were,</c><00:00:04.960><c> to</c><00:00:05.059><c> the</c><00:00:05.120><c> most</c><00:00:05.419><c> difficult</c><00:00:05.879><c> part</c><00:00:06.480><c> of</c>

00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:12.320
And<00:00:09.359><c> I</c><00:00:09.519><c> hope</c><00:00:09.759><c> that</c><00:00:09.980><c> in</c><00:00:10.119><c> the</c><00:00:10.300><c> analysis</c><00:00:10.660><c> we</c><00:00:10.859><c> are</c><00:00:11.039><c> to</c><00:00:11.179><c> pursue,</c>

00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:16.140
we<00:00:12.839><c> don't</c><00:00:13.140><c> lose</c><00:00:13.480><c> sight</c><00:00:13.800><c> of</c><00:00:13.960><c> some</c><00:00:14.140><c> of</c><00:00:14.259><c> the</c><00:00:14.480><c> simplicities</c><00:00:15.500><c> of</c>

our<00:00:16.399><c> faith.</c>

00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:19.899
And<00:00:17.519><c> I</c><00:00:17.559><c> think</c><00:00:17.699><c> perhaps</c><00:00:18.059><c> the</c><00:00:18.219><c> last</c><00:00:18.460><c> verse</c><00:00:19.059><c> in</c><00:00:19.579><c> the</c><00:00:19.660><c> hymn</c><00:00:19.760><c> that</c>

00:00:19.899 --> 00:00:21.000
we<00:00:20.000><c> have</c><00:00:20.140><c> just</c><00:00:20.420><c> sung</c>

00:00:24.100 --> 00:00:26.780
of<00:00:24.620><c> our</c><00:00:24.879><c> appropriation</c><00:00:25.539><c> of</c><00:00:25.660><c> the</c><00:00:25.820><c> work</c><00:00:25.960><c> of</c><00:00:26.239><c> Christ.</c>

00:00:26.780 --> 00:00:30.000
Then<00:00:27.620><c> to</c><00:00:27.859><c> life</c><00:00:28.140><c> I</c><00:00:28.420><c> turn</c><00:00:28.660><c> again,</c>

00:00:30.100 --> 00:00:32.239
learning<00:00:30.320><c> all</c><00:00:30.600><c> the</c><00:00:30.780><c> worth</c><00:00:30.940><c> of</c><00:00:31.239><c> pain,</c>

00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:37.140
learning<00:00:32.840><c> all</c><00:00:33.140><c> the</c><00:00:33.299><c> might</c><00:00:33.460><c> that</c><00:00:33.780><c> lies</c><00:00:34.200><c> in</c><00:00:34.740><c> a</c><00:00:34.960><c> full</c><00:00:35.719><c> self</c><00:00:36.240><c>-sacrifice.</c>

00:00:37.619 --> 00:00:39.759
And<00:00:37.759><c> I'm</c><00:00:37.899><c> sure</c><00:00:38.299><c> each</c><00:00:38.719><c> of</c><00:00:38.820><c> us,</c><00:00:39.079><c> my</c><00:00:39.119><c> dear</c><00:00:39.299><c> brethren</c><00:00:39.520><c> and</c><00:00:39.659><c> sisters,</c>

00:00:39.820 --> 00:00:42.560
when<00:00:40.100><c> we</c><00:00:40.539><c> sang</c><00:00:40.700><c> those</c><00:00:41.000><c> words,</c>

00:00:42.619 --> 00:00:46.179
appreciated<00:00:43.159><c> that</c><00:00:43.359><c> there</c><00:00:43.640><c> was</c><00:00:44.299><c> more</c><00:00:44.740><c> than</c><00:00:44.939><c> just</c><00:00:45.380><c> head</c><00:00:45.600><c> knowledge</c>

00:00:46.179 --> 00:00:49.320

00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:53.420
It's<00:00:49.960><c> not</c><00:00:50.159><c> just</c><00:00:50.560><c> the</c><00:00:50.960><c> analysis,</c><00:00:51.399><c> is</c><00:00:51.640><c> it,</c><00:00:52.119><c> of</c><00:00:52.359><c> the</c><00:00:52.500><c> Word</c><00:00:52.640><c> of</c><00:00:52.840><c> God.</c>

00:00:53.420 --> 00:00:56.880
In<00:00:53.820><c> the</c><00:00:54.060><c> end,</c><00:00:55.079><c> it's</c><00:00:55.299><c> our</c><00:00:55.659><c> appropriation</c><00:00:56.200><c> of</c><00:00:56.359><c> these</c><00:00:56.619><c> things,</c>

00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:59.340
our<00:00:57.219><c> entering</c><00:00:57.420><c> into</c><00:00:57.679><c> the</c><00:00:57.840><c> experience</c><00:00:58.320><c> of</c><00:00:58.500><c> the</c><00:00:58.640><c> Lord</c><00:00:58.799><c> Jesus,</c>

00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:07.540
Today<00:01:05.019><c> I'd</c><00:01:05.239><c> like</c><00:01:05.379><c> to</c><00:01:05.519><c> look</c><00:01:06.019><c> at</c><00:01:06.560><c> our</c><00:01:06.739><c> relationship</c>

00:01:07.540 --> 00:01:10.120
to<00:01:08.519><c> the</c><00:01:08.700><c> atoning</c><00:01:09.000><c> work</c><00:01:09.239><c> of</c><00:01:09.439><c> Christ</c>

00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:13.920

00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:17.579
and<00:01:14.379><c> seek</c><00:01:14.519><c> to</c><00:01:14.760><c> analyze</c><00:01:15.319><c> how</c><00:01:16.060><c> that</c><00:01:16.319><c> work</c><00:01:16.500><c> comes</c><00:01:16.760><c> to</c><00:01:17.000><c> us.</c>

00:01:18.019 --> 00:01:21.060
And<00:01:18.099><c> then</c><00:01:18.400><c> secondly,</c><00:01:19.920><c> our</c><00:01:20.019><c> application.</c>

00:01:21.060 --> 00:01:23.900
And<00:01:21.319><c> so</c><00:01:21.700><c> there</c><00:01:22.019><c> are</c><00:01:22.079><c> really</c><00:01:22.340><c> two</c><00:01:22.579><c> parts.</c>

00:01:24.379 --> 00:01:28.920
Understanding<00:01:24.780><c> the</c><00:01:25.359><c> theory,</c><00:01:26.659><c> the</c><00:01:26.900><c> mechanism,</c><00:01:27.560><c> if</c><00:01:27.760><c> you</c><00:01:27.980><c> like,</c>

00:01:29.340 --> 00:01:33.060
and<00:01:29.540><c> secondly,</c><00:01:30.439><c> understanding</c><00:01:31.000><c> the</c><00:01:31.900><c> practice.</c>

00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:35.299
And<00:01:33.319><c> you</c><00:01:33.439><c> probably</c><00:01:34.060><c> have</c><00:01:34.379><c> already</c><00:01:34.599><c> got</c><00:01:34.739><c> that</c><00:01:34.920><c> message</c>

00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:39.900
As<00:01:38.739><c> it</c><00:01:38.920><c> seems</c><00:01:39.140><c> to</c><00:01:39.359><c> me,</c>

00:01:40.299 --> 00:01:44.780
theory<00:01:40.700><c> and</c><00:01:41.700><c> practice</c><00:01:42.500><c> must</c><00:01:43.239><c> go</c><00:01:43.480><c> hand</c><00:01:43.719><c> in</c><00:01:43.920><c> hand,</c>

00:01:45.099 --> 00:01:48.159
although<00:01:45.379><c> of</c><00:01:45.540><c> course</c><00:01:45.719><c> the</c><00:01:46.000><c> theory,</c><00:01:46.799><c> the</c><00:01:47.040><c> expositional</c><00:01:47.560><c> basis,</c>

00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:52.480

00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:56.819
Now<00:01:55.680><c> there</c><00:01:55.819><c> are</c><00:01:55.879><c> a</c><00:01:55.879><c> number</c><00:01:56.099><c> of</c><00:01:56.340><c> passages</c>

If<00:02:09.719><c> perhaps</c><00:02:09.939><c> I</c><00:02:10.099><c> might</c><00:02:10.300><c> just</c><00:02:10.900><c> select</c><00:02:11.219><c> three</c><00:02:11.539><c> of</c><00:02:11.699><c> them.</c>

00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:14.139
Don't<00:02:12.599><c> turn</c><00:02:12.819><c> to</c><00:02:12.900><c> them</c><00:02:13.080><c> just</c><00:02:13.340><c> yet.</c>

00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.759
I'll<00:02:23.659><c> just</c><00:02:23.740><c> read</c><00:02:24.000><c> these</c><00:02:24.300><c> to</c><00:02:24.500><c> you.</c>

00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:27.979
You've<00:02:25.900><c> no</c><00:02:26.020><c> need</c><00:02:26.159><c> to</c><00:02:26.300><c> turn</c><00:02:26.439><c> to</c><00:02:26.500><c> them</c><00:02:26.659><c> just</c><00:02:26.919><c> yet.</c>

Surely<00:05:01.339><c> Paul</c><00:05:01.819><c> cannot</c><00:05:02.180><c> mean</c><00:05:03.060><c> Christ</c><00:05:03.720><c> became</c><00:05:04.220><c> a</c><00:05:04.500><c> curse.</c>

That<00:05:20.040><c> is</c><00:05:20.220><c> to</c><00:05:20.420><c> say,</c><00:05:21.019><c> a</c><00:05:21.160><c> curse</c><00:05:21.379><c> of</c><00:05:21.740><c> God</c><00:05:22.180><c> rather</c><00:05:22.800><c> than</c><00:05:23.100><c> an</c><00:05:23.339><c> insult</c>

00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:25.240
to<00:05:24.199><c> God.</c>

00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:29.259
But<00:05:27.259><c> even</c><00:05:27.459><c> this</c><00:05:27.699><c> consideration,</c><00:05:28.500><c> this</c><00:05:28.680><c> observation,</c>

00:05:29.259 --> 00:05:32.459
does<00:05:29.819><c> not</c><00:05:30.000><c> really</c><00:05:30.240><c> help</c><00:05:30.439><c> us</c><00:05:30.680><c> with</c><00:05:30.959><c> the</c><00:05:31.160><c> third</c><00:05:31.339><c> passage.</c>

00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:35.740
We<00:05:32.879><c> cannot</c><00:05:33.160><c> replace</c><00:05:33.639><c> noun</c><00:05:34.100><c> with</c><00:05:34.379><c> adjective</c><00:05:34.980><c> here.</c>

00:05:36.220 --> 00:05:39.920
Because<00:05:36.300><c> if</c><00:05:36.500><c> we</c><00:05:36.680><c> do,</c><00:05:36.939><c> we</c><00:05:36.959><c> get</c><00:05:37.319><c> Christ</c><00:05:37.879><c> was</c><00:05:38.160><c> made</c><00:05:38.800><c> sinful.</c>

00:05:39.939 --> 00:05:42.839
Which<00:05:40.319><c> of</c><00:05:40.480><c> us</c><00:05:41.319><c> would</c><00:05:41.800><c> say</c><00:05:42.000><c> that</c><00:05:42.160><c> that</c><00:05:42.319><c> was</c><00:05:42.500><c> true?</c>

00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:44.600
It's<00:05:43.139><c> clearly</c><00:05:43.360><c> untenable.</c>

00:05:45.019 --> 00:05:46.339
So<00:05:45.240><c> we</c><00:05:45.459><c> then</c><00:05:45.579><c> ask</c><00:05:45.740><c> the</c><00:05:45.879><c> question,</c>

00:05:46.699 --> 00:05:52.620

00:05:53.699 --> 00:05:55.300
Well,<00:05:53.899><c> there</c><00:05:54.040><c> are</c><00:05:54.040><c> two</c><00:05:54.240><c> places</c><00:05:54.500><c> in</c><00:05:54.680><c> Leviticus</c>

00:05:55.300 --> 00:05:57.439
where<00:05:55.740><c> the</c><00:05:55.939><c> term</c><00:05:56.220><c> does</c><00:05:56.459><c> have</c><00:05:56.720><c> this</c><00:05:57.000><c> sense.</c>

00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:59.000
We<00:05:57.660><c> now</c><00:05:57.779><c> need</c><00:05:57.920><c> to</c><00:05:58.079><c> turn</c><00:05:58.220><c> them</c><00:05:58.360><c> up.</c>

Leviticus<00:05:59.480><c> 4</c><00:05:59.759><c>.25</c><00:06:00.560><c> and</c><00:06:01.019><c> 5</c><00:06:01.480><c>.12.</c>

00:06:03.420 --> 00:06:06.540
Nowhere<00:06:03.819><c> else</c><00:06:04.040><c> in</c><00:06:04.180><c> the</c><00:06:04.279><c> New</c><00:06:04.439><c> Testament</c><00:06:05.079><c> is</c><00:06:05.720><c> the</c><00:06:05.899><c> word</c><00:06:06.060><c> used</c><00:06:06.360><c> in</c>

this<00:06:06.800><c> sense.</c>

00:06:07.660 --> 00:06:09.279
We<00:06:07.839><c> have</c><00:06:07.980><c> to</c><00:06:08.079><c> ask</c><00:06:08.319><c> ourselves</c><00:06:08.699><c> the</c><00:06:08.839><c> question,</c>

00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:12.980
would<00:06:09.699><c> Paul</c><00:06:10.019><c> have</c><00:06:10.300><c> used</c><00:06:11.279><c> one</c><00:06:11.720><c> word,</c><00:06:12.079><c> the</c><00:06:12.180><c> word</c><00:06:12.500><c> sin,</c>

00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:17.240
twice<00:06:13.860><c> in</c><00:06:14.019><c> the</c><00:06:14.180><c> same</c><00:06:14.399><c> sentence</c><00:06:15.000><c> as</c><00:06:15.540><c> he</c><00:06:15.740><c> does</c><00:06:15.899><c> in</c><00:06:16.040><c> 2</c><00:06:16.259><c> Corinthians</c><00:06:16.579><c> 5</c>

00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:21.040
with<00:06:17.600><c> different</c><00:06:18.019><c> meanings</c><00:06:18.699><c> or</c><00:06:19.439><c> different</c><00:06:19.759><c> associations?</c>

00:06:21.139 --> 00:06:24.000
It<00:06:21.399><c> seems</c><00:06:21.639><c> difficult</c><00:06:22.319><c> to</c><00:06:22.740><c> think</c><00:06:22.899><c> so.</c>

00:06:24.819 --> 00:06:26.319
It's<00:06:25.040><c> very</c><00:06:25.220><c> clear</c><00:06:25.360><c> though,</c><00:06:25.500><c> isn't</c><00:06:25.680><c> it,</c>

00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:31.180
that<00:06:26.680><c> the</c><00:06:26.860><c> term</c><00:06:27.740><c> to</c><00:06:28.939><c> be</c><00:06:29.240><c> sin</c><00:06:29.839><c> stands</c><00:06:30.339><c> in</c><00:06:30.560><c> opposition</c>

00:06:31.180 --> 00:06:35.959
to<00:06:32.100><c> the</c><00:06:32.339><c> terms</c><00:06:32.779><c> become</c><00:06:33.180><c> the</c><00:06:33.420><c> righteousness</c><00:06:33.879><c> of</c><00:06:34.959><c> God.</c>

00:06:36.459 --> 00:06:40.019
So<00:06:36.600><c> that's</c><00:06:36.660><c> just</c><00:06:36.819><c> a</c><00:06:36.920><c> brief</c><00:06:37.040><c> introduction</c><00:06:37.819><c> to</c><00:06:38.379><c> those</c><00:06:38.660><c> two</c><00:06:38.879><c> passages.</c>

00:06:40.180 --> 00:06:43.279
I'd<00:06:40.399><c> like</c><00:06:40.459><c> now</c><00:06:40.699><c> to</c><00:06:40.980><c> look</c><00:06:41.160><c> at</c><00:06:41.259><c> each</c><00:06:41.480><c> of</c><00:06:41.680><c> them</c><00:06:42.120><c> in</c><00:06:42.560><c> more</c><00:06:42.759><c> detail.</c>

00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:49.740
So<00:06:43.480><c> let's</c><00:06:43.759><c> first</c><00:06:44.040><c> look</c><00:06:44.279><c> at</c><00:06:44.420><c> Galatians</c><00:06:44.980><c> chapter</c><00:06:45.360><c> 3</c><00:06:46.740><c> and</c><00:06:48.019><c> verse</c><00:06:48.300><c> 13.</c>

00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:53.740
I<00:06:51.220><c> suppose</c><00:06:51.480><c> to</c><00:06:51.660><c> understand</c><00:06:52.079><c> the</c><00:06:52.259><c> fullness</c><00:06:52.459><c> of</c><00:06:52.720><c> meaning</c>

00:06:55.920 --> 00:07:00.279
we<00:06:56.800><c> must</c><00:06:57.019><c> pay</c><00:06:57.300><c> due</c><00:06:57.500><c> attention</c><00:06:58.399><c> to</c><00:06:58.779><c> the</c><00:06:59.019><c> context.</c>

The<00:07:01.759><c> context</c><00:07:02.220><c> here,</c><00:07:02.839><c> as</c><00:07:02.939><c> we</c><00:07:03.339><c> all</c><00:07:03.600><c> know</c><00:07:03.800><c> well,</c>

00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:08.040
is<00:07:05.379><c> Paul's</c><00:07:05.819><c> message</c><00:07:06.319><c> to</c><00:07:06.699><c> the</c><00:07:06.939><c> circumcisers</c>

It<00:10:32.740><c> is</c><00:10:33.039><c> righteousness</c><00:10:33.639><c> by</c><00:10:34.299><c> faith</c>

00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:38.379
which<00:10:35.419><c> Paul</c><00:10:35.720><c> is</c><00:10:35.960><c> setting</c><00:10:36.259><c> before</c><00:10:36.879><c> that.</c>

00:10:39.659 --> 00:10:42.200
Now<00:10:39.779><c> the</c><00:10:39.820><c> result</c><00:10:40.080><c> of</c><00:10:40.259><c> all</c><00:10:40.419><c> this</c><00:10:40.740><c> is</c><00:10:41.200><c> rather</c><00:10:41.539><c> a</c><00:10:41.740><c> paradox.</c>

00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:45.840
It<00:10:42.500><c> is</c><00:10:42.740><c> fulfillment</c><00:10:43.539><c> on</c><00:10:44.580><c> the</c><00:10:44.720><c> one</c><00:10:44.960><c> hand,</c>

00:10:46.340 --> 00:10:49.620
God's<00:10:46.679><c> purpose</c><00:10:47.000><c> moving</c><00:10:47.539><c> to</c><00:10:47.899><c> its</c><00:10:48.039><c> focus</c><00:10:48.320><c> in</c><00:10:48.500><c> the</c><00:10:48.639><c> Lord</c><00:10:48.779><c> Jesus</c><00:10:49.120><c> Christ.</c>

00:10:50.019 --> 00:10:53.659
It's<00:10:50.440><c> fulfillment</c><00:10:51.059><c> and</c><00:10:51.700><c> it</c><00:10:51.860><c> is</c><00:10:52.419><c> annulment.</c>

00:10:54.139 --> 00:10:56.340
Fulfillment<00:10:54.620><c> of</c><00:10:54.759><c> the</c><00:10:54.879><c> blessing</c><00:10:55.080><c> to</c><00:10:55.299><c> the</c><00:10:55.399><c> Gentiles</c>

00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:00.379
and<00:10:56.899><c> annulment</c><00:10:57.720><c> of</c><00:10:58.080><c> the</c><00:10:58.259><c> curse</c><00:10:58.440><c> on</c><00:10:58.639><c> the</c><00:10:58.860><c> Jew</c><00:10:59.200><c> under</c><00:10:59.720><c> the</c><00:10:59.960><c> law.</c>

00:11:00.379 --> 00:11:05.019
There<00:11:01.039><c> is</c><00:11:01.360><c> now</c><00:11:01.879><c> neither</c><00:11:02.399><c> Jew</c><00:11:02.980><c> nor</c><00:11:03.940><c> Greek.</c>

00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:09.960
And<00:11:07.000><c> this</c><00:11:07.200><c> is</c><00:11:07.539><c> represented</c><00:11:08.200><c> in</c><00:11:08.700><c> the</c><00:11:08.980><c> cross.</c>

00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:12.440
The<00:11:10.240><c> cross</c><00:11:10.500><c> demonstrates</c><00:11:11.179><c> that</c><00:11:11.460><c> Christ</c><00:11:11.759><c> himself</c>

00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:14.419
has<00:11:12.960><c> now</c><00:11:13.240><c> come</c><00:11:13.399><c> under</c><00:11:13.600><c> the</c><00:11:13.860><c> curse</c>

00:11:14.419 --> 00:11:18.320
from<00:11:14.879><c> which</c><00:11:15.100><c> the</c><00:11:15.360><c> Jews</c><00:11:15.700><c> have</c><00:11:16.259><c> been</c><00:11:16.860><c> set</c><00:11:17.200><c> free.</c>

00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:24.039
Christ<00:11:19.879><c> is</c><00:11:20.559><c> identified</c><00:11:21.460><c> with</c><00:11:22.360><c> the</c><00:11:22.519><c> condition</c><00:11:22.860><c> of</c><00:11:23.139><c> man.</c>

00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:27.940
Now<00:11:25.100><c> we</c><00:11:25.159><c> know</c><00:11:25.419><c> that</c><00:11:25.620><c> the</c><00:11:25.899><c> exposure</c><00:11:26.379><c> of</c><00:11:26.980><c> a</c><00:11:27.100><c> criminal's</c><00:11:27.639><c> body</c>

00:11:35.620 --> 00:11:40.360
because<00:11:36.440><c> of</c><00:11:36.620><c> his</c><00:11:36.779><c> failure</c><00:11:37.480><c> to</c><00:11:38.159><c> keep</c><00:11:38.860><c> that</c><00:11:39.320><c> law.</c>

00:11:42.580 --> 00:11:44.019
Our<00:11:42.659><c> next</c><00:11:42.899><c> question</c><00:11:43.220><c> I</c><00:11:43.360><c> think</c><00:11:43.620><c> is</c>

00:11:44.019 --> 00:11:47.240
exactly<00:11:44.559><c> how</c><00:11:45.259><c> are</c><00:11:45.620><c> the</c><00:11:45.759><c> Jews</c><00:11:46.120><c> set</c><00:11:46.700><c> free?</c>

00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:50.679
How<00:11:47.840><c> does</c><00:11:48.240><c> the</c><00:11:48.519><c> blessing</c><00:11:49.039><c> come</c><00:11:49.559><c> to</c><00:11:49.759><c> the</c><00:11:49.879><c> Gentiles?</c>

00:11:51.019 --> 00:11:53.360
What<00:11:51.279><c> is</c><00:11:52.000><c> the</c><00:11:52.320><c> mechanism?</c>

00:11:53.379 --> 00:11:56.480
I<00:11:53.480><c> think</c><00:11:53.659><c> the</c><00:11:53.820><c> closest</c><00:11:54.139><c> we</c><00:11:54.279><c> can</c><00:11:54.559><c> get</c><00:11:55.000><c> to</c><00:11:55.279><c> answering</c><00:11:55.539><c> this</c><00:11:55.779><c> question</c>

00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:59.639

Verse<00:12:00.299><c> 25</c>

00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:30.480
Now<00:12:28.080><c> we</c><00:12:28.639><c> use</c><00:12:28.840><c> these</c><00:12:29.080><c> words,</c><00:12:29.360><c> my</c><00:12:29.500><c> dear</c><00:12:29.679><c> brothers</c><00:12:29.940><c> and</c><00:12:30.159><c> sisters,</c>

00:12:30.700 --> 00:12:32.019

00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:37.179
and<00:12:34.960><c> the</c><00:12:35.059><c> way</c><00:12:35.220><c> this</c><00:12:35.440><c> relates</c><00:12:35.840><c> us</c><00:12:36.299><c> to</c><00:12:36.519><c> the</c><00:12:36.740><c> promises</c>

00:12:37.179 --> 00:12:39.720
through<00:12:37.779><c> the</c><00:12:37.980><c> sacrifice</c><00:12:38.379><c> of</c><00:12:38.600><c> Christ.</c>

00:12:40.059 --> 00:12:42.759
And<00:12:40.220><c> that</c><00:12:40.399><c> is</c><00:12:40.620><c> true</c><00:12:41.179><c> and</c><00:12:41.559><c> that</c><00:12:41.740><c> is</c><00:12:42.019><c> important.</c>

00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:45.220
But<00:12:43.320><c> what</c><00:12:43.419><c> I</c><00:12:43.519><c> am</c><00:12:43.559><c> suggesting</c><00:12:43.940><c> to</c><00:12:44.139><c> you</c><00:12:44.379><c> here</c><00:12:44.720><c> is,</c>

00:12:49.139 --> 00:12:54.240

00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:57.279
From<00:12:55.039><c> a</c><00:12:55.320><c> curse,</c><00:12:56.000><c> the</c><00:12:56.200><c> earlier</c><00:12:56.419><c> part</c><00:12:56.639><c> of</c><00:12:56.779><c> the</c><00:12:56.879><c> chapter</c>

00:12:57.279 --> 00:12:59.919

00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:03.100
There<00:13:00.759><c> has</c><00:13:00.960><c> been</c><00:13:01.179><c> the</c><00:13:01.399><c> annulment</c><00:13:02.059><c> of</c><00:13:02.419><c> the</c><00:13:02.620><c> curse</c>

00:13:03.100 --> 00:13:05.019

00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:10.679
Now<00:13:09.700><c> there</c><00:13:09.840><c> are</c><00:13:09.860><c> a</c><00:13:09.860><c> number</c><00:13:10.080><c> of</c><00:13:10.379><c> parallels</c>

00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:13.820

00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:18.159
For<00:13:14.279><c> example,</c><00:13:15.240><c> Jesus</c><00:13:15.580><c> touches</c><00:13:16.179><c> those</c><00:13:16.700><c> or</c><00:13:16.899><c> is</c><00:13:17.159><c> touched</c><00:13:17.399><c> by</c><00:13:17.679><c> others</c>

00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:22.159
who<00:13:18.759><c> according</c><00:13:19.100><c> to</c><00:13:19.340><c> Jewish</c><00:13:19.600><c> law</c><00:13:20.120><c> were</c><00:13:20.539><c> unclean.</c>

00:13:22.299 --> 00:13:26.620
Theoretically,<00:13:23.139><c> he</c><00:13:23.320><c> should</c><00:13:23.539><c> have</c><00:13:23.720><c> been</c><00:13:23.940><c> made</c><00:13:24.299><c> unclean</c><00:13:25.179><c> also.</c>

00:13:26.860 --> 00:13:29.799
But<00:13:27.080><c> instead,</c><00:13:28.480><c> it</c><00:13:28.480><c> is</c><00:13:28.759><c> abundantly</c><00:13:29.259><c> clear</c>

00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:32.799
that<00:13:30.360><c> he</c><00:13:30.720><c> overcomes</c><00:13:31.259><c> the</c><00:13:31.500><c> power</c><00:13:31.740><c> of</c><00:13:32.000><c> defilement</c>

00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:42.100
I'm<00:13:40.519><c> not</c><00:13:40.679><c> going</c><00:13:40.820><c> to</c><00:13:40.879><c> look</c><00:13:41.000><c> at</c><00:13:41.100><c> any</c><00:13:41.320><c> examples</c><00:13:41.679><c> of</c><00:13:41.840><c> that,</c>

00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:24.319
It's<00:17:21.740><c> not</c><00:17:21.960><c> just</c><00:17:22.400><c> a</c><00:17:22.740><c> dead</c><00:17:23.019><c> Christ</c><00:17:23.480><c> in</c><00:17:23.680><c> the</c><00:17:23.920><c> end</c>

00:18:03.380 --> 00:18:06.960

00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:24.559
This<00:28:22.700><c> is</c><00:28:22.859><c> linked</c><00:28:23.079><c> in</c><00:28:23.240><c> verses</c><00:28:23.500><c> 20</c><00:28:23.839><c> and</c><00:28:23.940><c> 21</c>

00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:26.880
with<00:28:25.039><c> the</c><00:28:25.200><c> return</c><00:28:25.519><c> of</c><00:28:25.700><c> the</c><00:28:25.779><c> Lord</c><00:28:25.940><c> Jesus</c><00:28:26.319><c> Christ,</c>

00:28:27.299 --> 00:28:30.039
the<00:28:27.619><c> expectation</c><00:28:28.420><c> of</c><00:28:29.380><c> all</c><00:28:29.579><c> disciples</c>

00:28:31.519 --> 00:28:33.960
and<00:28:31.640><c> the</c><00:28:31.880><c> resurrection</c><00:28:32.440><c> of</c><00:28:32.980><c> the</c><00:28:33.119><c> body.</c>

00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:35.740
So<00:28:34.339><c> our</c><00:28:34.519><c> body</c><00:28:34.779><c> of</c><00:28:35.039><c> humiliation</c>

00:28:35.740 --> 00:28:38.880
is<00:28:36.220><c> to</c><00:28:36.339><c> be</c><00:28:36.640><c> fashioned</c><00:28:37.119><c> by</c><00:28:37.599><c> the</c><00:28:37.799><c> Lord,</c>

00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:40.559
who<00:28:39.119><c> himself</c><00:28:39.599><c> had</c><00:28:39.819><c> humbled</c><00:28:40.039><c> himself</c>

00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:42.420
and<00:28:40.759><c> became</c><00:28:40.980><c> obedient</c><00:28:41.500><c> unto</c><00:28:41.779><c> death.</c>

00:28:42.759 --> 00:28:46.660
We<00:28:43.160><c> too</c><00:28:43.859><c> can</c><00:28:44.460><c> in</c><00:28:44.559><c> the</c><00:28:44.779><c> end</c><00:28:44.900><c> be</c><00:28:45.220><c> conformed</c>

00:28:46.660 --> 00:28:48.880
unto<00:28:46.900><c> the</c><00:28:47.059><c> body</c><00:28:47.319><c> of</c><00:28:47.539><c> his</c><00:28:47.759><c> glory.</c>

00:28:49.380 --> 00:28:50.640
So<00:28:49.720><c> the</c><00:28:49.839><c> picture</c><00:28:50.039><c> we</c><00:28:50.259><c> have</c><00:28:50.420><c> here,</c>

00:28:50.740 --> 00:28:51.480
brothers<00:28:50.859><c> and</c><00:28:51.000><c> sisters,</c>

00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:53.920
is<00:28:52.079><c> that</c><00:28:52.279><c> Christ</c><00:28:52.680><c> humbled</c><00:28:53.099><c> himself</c>

00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:57.279
in<00:28:54.380><c> order</c><00:28:54.539><c> that</c><00:28:54.720><c> in</c><00:28:55.000><c> him</c><00:28:55.519><c> and</c><00:28:56.160><c> by</c><00:28:56.640><c> him</c>

00:28:57.279 --> 00:29:01.500
we<00:28:57.720><c> might</c><00:28:58.000><c> become</c><00:28:58.380><c> glorious</c><00:28:59.200><c> in</c><00:28:59.920><c> him.</c>

00:29:04.660 --> 00:29:06.519
Well,<00:29:05.460><c> I</c><00:29:05.539><c> hope</c><00:29:05.700><c> this</c><00:29:06.119><c> analysis</c>

00:29:06.519 --> 00:29:08.440
has<00:29:06.740><c> not</c><00:29:06.940><c> been</c><00:29:07.220><c> too</c><00:29:07.480><c> much</c><00:29:07.640><c> to</c><00:29:07.940><c> take,</c>

00:29:08.859 --> 00:29:10.400
but<00:29:08.920><c> just</c><00:29:09.140><c> in</c><00:29:09.299><c> case</c><00:29:09.480><c> it</c><00:29:09.779><c> has,</c>

00:29:10.779 --> 00:29:11.859
may<00:29:10.859><c> I</c><00:29:11.079><c> summarize</c>

00:29:11.859 --> 00:29:15.500
what<00:29:12.759><c> we've</c><00:29:13.099><c> established</c><00:29:13.660><c> so</c><00:29:14.400><c> far.</c>

00:29:16.599 --> 00:29:20.559
Firstly,<00:29:18.460><c> Christ</c><00:29:18.599><c> identified</c><00:29:19.279><c> himself</c><00:29:19.700><c> with</c><00:29:19.920><c> us</c>

00:29:20.559 --> 00:29:25.160
in<00:29:20.900><c> order</c><00:29:21.180><c> that</c><00:29:21.579><c> we</c><00:29:21.920><c> might</c><00:29:22.259><c> identify</c><00:29:22.960><c> ourselves</c><00:29:23.900><c> with</c><00:29:24.519><c> him</c>

00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:29.220
in<00:29:25.599><c> terms</c><00:29:25.920><c> of</c><00:29:26.160><c> law,</c><00:29:27.440><c> sonship,</c><00:29:28.240><c> wisdom,</c>

00:29:29.299 --> 00:29:30.980
righteousness,<00:29:30.619><c> sanctification,</c>

00:29:30.980 --> 00:29:32.900
salvation,<00:29:31.799><c> redemption,</c>

00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:35.539
resurrection<00:29:33.539><c> and</c><00:29:34.299><c> glory.</c>

00:29:39.099 --> 00:29:42.279
Secondly,<00:29:40.779><c> I</c><00:29:40.779><c> think</c><00:29:40.940><c> it</c><00:29:41.180><c> follows</c><00:29:41.480><c> naturally</c>

00:29:42.279 --> 00:29:44.099
from<00:29:42.579><c> what</c><00:29:42.759><c> we've</c><00:29:43.099><c> already</c><00:29:43.440><c> said</c>

00:29:44.099 --> 00:29:46.960
that<00:29:44.859><c> it</c><00:29:44.960><c> must</c><00:29:45.180><c> be</c><00:29:45.420><c> as</c><00:29:45.599><c> man's</c><00:29:46.119><c> representative</c>

00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:49.940
rather<00:29:47.940><c> than</c><00:29:48.099><c> as</c><00:29:48.339><c> his</c><00:29:48.680><c> substitute</c>

00:29:49.740 --> 00:29:53.240
that<00:29:50.200><c> Christ</c><00:29:50.839><c> suffered</c><00:29:51.440><c> and</c><00:29:52.279><c> died.</c>

00:29:53.839 --> 00:29:56.779
It's<00:29:54.299><c> only</c><00:29:54.660><c> as</c><00:29:55.119><c> son</c><00:29:55.380><c> of</c><00:29:55.640><c> man,</c>

00:29:57.619 --> 00:29:58.420
the<00:29:57.779><c> title,</c><00:29:58.079><c> as</c><00:29:58.180><c> it</c><00:29:58.319><c> were,</c>

00:29:58.420 --> 00:30:01.359
of<00:29:58.640><c> supreme</c><00:29:59.039><c> elevation</c><00:29:59.799><c> of</c><00:30:00.519><c> the</c><00:30:00.680><c> Lord</c><00:30:00.859><c> Jesus,</c>

00:30:01.380 --> 00:30:03.579
as<00:30:01.579><c> I</c><00:30:01.660><c> think</c><00:30:01.779><c> we've</c><00:30:02.099><c> already</c><00:30:02.420><c> considered</c><00:30:02.799><c> this</c><00:30:03.079><c> week,</c>

00:30:04.059 --> 00:30:05.799
that<00:30:04.200><c> he</c><00:30:04.319><c> is</c><00:30:04.539><c> able</c><00:30:04.700><c> to</c><00:30:05.039><c> lift</c><00:30:05.299><c> men</c>

00:30:05.799 --> 00:30:08.900
into<00:30:06.380><c> an</c><00:30:06.539><c> obedient</c><00:30:06.940><c> relationship</c><00:30:07.740><c> with</c><00:30:08.240><c> God.</c>

00:30:09.299 --> 00:30:13.299
And<00:30:09.460><c> he</c><00:30:09.559><c> can</c><00:30:09.759><c> do</c><00:30:10.000><c> this</c><00:30:10.660><c> by</c><00:30:11.200><c> being</c><00:30:11.579><c> first</c><00:30:11.920><c> lifted</c><00:30:12.279><c> up</c><00:30:12.559><c> himself</c>

00:30:13.299 --> 00:30:16.180
in<00:30:13.740><c> obedience</c><00:30:14.380><c> upon</c><00:30:14.940><c> the</c><00:30:15.240><c> tree.</c>

00:30:16.900 --> 00:30:22.119
And<00:30:17.059><c> so</c><00:30:17.160><c> it</c><00:30:17.220><c> is</c><00:30:17.480><c> not</c><00:30:18.140><c> an</c><00:30:18.660><c> exchange</c><00:30:19.460><c> of</c><00:30:19.920><c> judgments</c><00:30:20.380><c> and</c><00:30:20.960><c> rewards,</c>

00:30:22.579 --> 00:30:24.539
but<00:30:22.799><c> rather</c><00:30:23.180><c> an</c><00:30:23.559><c> interchange.</c>

00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:28.200
In<00:30:26.039><c> Christ,</c><00:30:27.019><c> we</c><00:30:27.180><c> may</c><00:30:27.480><c> become</c>

00:30:28.200 --> 00:30:31.039
what<00:30:28.680><c> God</c><00:30:28.940><c> intended</c><00:30:29.359><c> us</c><00:30:29.660><c> to</c><00:30:29.880><c> be.</c>

00:30:31.099 --> 00:30:33.799
In<00:30:31.460><c> Christ,</c><00:30:32.240><c> there</c><00:30:32.440><c> is</c><00:30:32.619><c> now</c><00:30:32.799><c> a</c><00:30:32.799><c> new</c><00:30:33.059><c> creation</c>

00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:39.079
so<00:30:34.460><c> that</c><00:30:34.680><c> men</c><00:30:34.920><c> may</c><00:30:35.339><c> now</c><00:30:36.160><c> truly</c><00:30:36.539><c> bear</c><00:30:37.140><c> his</c><00:30:38.000><c> image.</c>

00:30:41.619 --> 00:30:44.799
Thirdly,<00:30:42.799><c> if</c><00:30:43.019><c> Christ</c><00:30:43.380><c> identified</c><00:30:43.980><c> himself</c><00:30:44.359><c> with</c><00:30:44.539><c> us</c>

00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:47.900
in<00:30:44.940><c> order</c><00:30:45.099><c> that</c><00:30:45.259><c> we</c><00:30:45.460><c> might</c><00:30:45.720><c> be</c><00:30:46.079><c> identified</c><00:30:46.559><c> with</c><00:30:46.779><c> him,</c>

00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:49.680

suffer<00:33:12.519><c> with</c><00:33:13.359><c> Him.</c>

00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:16.640
That's<00:33:15.099><c> the</c><00:33:15.200><c> new</c><00:33:15.380><c> dimension,</c><00:33:15.980><c> I</c><00:33:16.240><c> think,</c>

that<00:33:17.140><c> the</c><00:33:17.339><c> sacrifice</c><00:33:17.720><c> of</c><00:33:17.960><c> Christ</c><00:33:18.220><c> has</c><00:33:18.500><c> brought</c>

00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:07.039

00:44:36.860 --> 00:44:38.360
And<00:44:36.980><c> so</c><00:44:37.079><c> the</c><00:44:37.199><c> blood</c><00:44:37.380><c> of</c><00:44:37.639><c> Christ</c>

00:44:45.179 --> 00:44:47.480
Fifthly,<00:44:46.199><c> sin</c><00:44:46.440><c> has</c><00:44:46.659><c> been</c><00:44:47.019><c> covered</c>

And<00:44:50.619><c> yet,</c><00:44:51.639><c> perhaps</c><00:44:51.800><c> rather</c><00:44:52.119><c> paradoxically,</c>

00:44:56.739 --> 00:44:58.840

my<00:45:16.840><c> dear</c><00:45:16.980><c> brethren</c><00:45:17.179><c> and</c><00:45:17.340><c> sisters,</c>

00:45:17.400 --> 00:45:18.960
is<00:45:17.519><c> a</c><00:45:17.559><c> very</c><00:45:17.840><c> powerful</c><00:45:18.300><c> one.</c>

00:45:19.360 --> 00:45:22.039
Sin<00:45:19.500><c> has</c><00:45:19.699><c> been</c><00:45:20.019><c> covered</c><00:45:20.480><c> by</c><00:45:20.980><c> Christ,</c>

00:45:22.420 --> 00:45:23.539
but<00:45:22.559><c> that</c><00:45:22.699><c> does</c><00:45:22.940><c> not</c><00:45:23.219><c> mean</c>

00:45:23.539 --> 00:45:25.440
that<00:45:23.679><c> we</c><00:45:23.840><c> should</c><00:45:24.000><c> have</c><00:45:24.219><c> an</c><00:45:24.380><c> indifferent</c><00:45:24.739><c> attitude</c>

00:45:28.980 --> 00:45:30.940
It<00:45:29.239><c> places</c><00:45:29.500><c> us,</c><00:45:29.760><c> as</c><00:45:29.900><c> it</c><00:45:30.079><c> were,</c>

00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:32.860
in<00:45:31.099><c> the</c><00:45:31.199><c> position</c><00:45:31.400><c> of</c><00:45:31.679><c> greater</c><00:45:31.940><c> responsibility</c>

00:45:32.860 --> 00:45:34.480

00:45:34.480 --> 00:45:37.579
that<00:45:34.800><c> formerly</c><00:45:35.320><c> encouraged</c><00:45:36.460><c> sin,</c>

00:45:37.940 --> 00:45:39.619
to<00:45:38.300><c> cultivate</c><00:45:38.739><c> good</c><00:45:39.019><c> habits</c>

00:45:42.420 --> 00:45:43.780
Make<00:45:42.699><c> a</c><00:45:42.880><c> definite</c><00:45:43.139><c> attempt</c>

00:45:52.199 --> 00:45:54.179
Shall<00:45:52.380><c> we</c><00:45:52.599><c> continue</c><00:45:53.059><c> in</c><00:45:53.360><c> sin?</c>

00:45:54.539 --> 00:45:56.380
That<00:45:54.659><c> grace</c><00:45:54.900><c> may</c><00:45:55.159><c> abound?</c>

00:45:56.900 --> 00:45:58.199
God<00:45:57.119><c> forbid.</c>

00:45:58.820 --> 00:46:00.380
By<00:45:59.099><c> no</c><00:45:59.360><c> means.</c>

00:46:01.800 --> 00:46:03.679
So<00:46:02.039><c> as</c><00:46:02.199><c> you</c><00:46:02.320><c> know</c><00:46:02.539><c> well,</c>

00:46:03.820 --> 00:46:05.980
the<00:46:04.019><c> argument</c><00:46:04.500><c> that</c><00:46:04.780><c> would</c><00:46:05.059><c> wish</c><00:46:05.320><c> to</c><00:46:05.699><c> further</c>

00:46:05.980 --> 00:46:07.099
the<00:46:06.219><c> grace</c><00:46:06.440><c> of</c><00:46:06.679><c> God</c>

00:46:07.099 --> 00:46:09.019
by<00:46:07.679><c> giving</c><00:46:07.960><c> it</c><00:46:08.199><c> greater</c><00:46:08.420><c> opportunity</c>

00:46:09.019 --> 00:46:11.559
to<00:46:09.320><c> operate</c><00:46:09.980><c> through</c><00:46:10.300><c> the</c><00:46:10.460><c> sacrifice</c><00:46:10.860><c> of</c><00:46:11.079><c> Christ,</c>

00:46:11.559 --> 00:46:13.739
by<00:46:12.059><c> providing</c><00:46:12.460><c> more</c><00:46:12.760><c> sins</c><00:46:13.019><c> to</c><00:46:13.219><c> be</c><00:46:13.400><c> covered,</c>

00:46:14.159 --> 00:46:15.460
is<00:46:14.300><c> a</c><00:46:14.440><c> specious</c><00:46:14.780><c> argument.</c>

00:46:15.780 --> 00:46:17.900
It<00:46:15.780><c> was</c><00:46:15.980><c> an</c><00:46:16.179><c> argument</c><00:46:16.400><c> that</c><00:46:16.639><c> Paul</c><00:46:16.900><c> had</c><00:46:17.139><c> to</c><00:46:17.400><c> refute,</c>

00:46:18.179 --> 00:46:18.920
and<00:46:18.300><c> it</c><00:46:18.300><c> was</c><00:46:18.460><c> an</c><00:46:18.679><c> argument</c>

00:46:18.920 --> 00:46:22.699

The<00:46:40.659><c> central</c><00:46:41.320><c> passage</c><00:46:41.659><c> there,</c>

00:46:43.539 --> 00:46:44.920

00:46:51.340 --> 00:46:53.360
Perhaps<00:46:51.519><c> we</c><00:46:51.659><c> could</c><00:46:51.780><c> look</c><00:46:51.940><c> at</c><00:46:52.059><c> this</c><00:46:52.260><c> one</c>

00:46:55.639 --> 00:46:57.599

00:47:07.599 --> 00:47:10.679
Isn't<00:47:08.119><c> it</c><00:47:08.300><c> amazing</c><00:47:08.719><c> how</c><00:47:09.039><c> in</c><00:47:09.199><c> 2</c><00:47:09.380><c> Corinthians</c><00:47:09.739><c> 8</c>

00:51:39.900 --> 00:51:42.639

00:51:54.599 --> 00:51:56.000
There<00:51:54.719><c> must</c><00:51:54.940><c> firstly</c><00:51:55.239><c> be</c><00:51:55.500><c> faith</c>

00:51:59.239 --> 00:52:01.500
There<00:51:59.440><c> must</c><00:51:59.659><c> be</c><00:51:59.960><c> remembrance</c><00:52:00.599><c> of</c><00:52:01.360><c> Him</c>

00:52:17.420 --> 00:52:19.159
And<00:52:18.019><c> so</c><00:52:18.139><c> the</c><00:52:18.280><c> work</c><00:52:18.460><c> of</c><00:52:18.659><c> Christ</c>

00:52:19.159 --> 00:52:20.739
is<00:52:19.840><c> really</c><00:52:20.099><c> so</c><00:52:20.440><c> great</c>

00:52:20.980 --> 00:52:23.239

00:52:29.239 --> 00:52:30.219

But<00:52:34.960><c> we</c><00:52:35.159><c> are</c><00:52:35.400><c> called</c><00:52:35.559><c> upon</c><00:52:35.920><c> to</c><00:52:36.159><c> participate</c><00:52:37.039><c> in</c><00:52:37.579><c> it.</c>

00:52:38.099 --> 00:52:39.659
So<00:52:38.500><c> if</c><00:52:38.719><c> in</c><00:52:38.860><c> our</c><00:52:38.980><c> first</c><00:52:39.260><c> talk</c>

00:52:39.659 --> 00:52:42.179
we<00:52:39.960><c> began</c><00:52:40.380><c> with</c><00:52:40.739><c> an</c><00:52:40.900><c> objective</c><00:52:41.380><c> salvation</c>

00:52:42.239 --> 00:52:43.800
as<00:52:42.840><c> the</c><00:52:43.019><c> foundation</c><00:52:43.440><c> on</c><00:52:43.659><c> which</c>

00:52:43.800 --> 00:52:45.179
to<00:52:44.039><c> build</c><00:52:44.260><c> our</c><00:52:44.519><c> understanding,</c>

00:52:45.179 --> 00:52:47.159
we<00:52:45.800><c> are</c><00:52:46.039><c> led</c><00:52:46.320><c> through</c><00:52:46.539><c> an</c><00:52:46.760><c> appreciation</c>

00:52:47.159 --> 00:52:48.239
of<00:52:47.320><c> the</c><00:52:47.440><c> work</c><00:52:47.579><c> of</c><00:52:47.820><c> Christ</c>

00:52:48.239 --> 00:52:50.780
into<00:52:48.639><c> an</c><00:52:48.880><c> association</c><00:52:49.639><c> of</c><00:52:50.059><c> ourselves</c>

00:52:50.780 --> 00:52:52.099
with<00:52:51.519><c> Him</c>

00:52:52.099 --> 00:52:55.699
and<00:52:52.940><c> to</c><00:52:53.099><c> develop</c><00:52:53.719><c> His</c><00:52:54.280><c> characteristics.</c>

00:52:55.820 --> 00:52:58.099
We<00:52:55.920><c> are</c><00:52:56.119><c> called</c><00:52:56.380><c> upon</c>

00:52:58.099 --> 00:53:00.099
to<00:52:58.360><c> full</c><00:52:58.639><c> participation</c>

00:53:00.179 --> 00:53:01.940
in<00:53:00.619><c> these</c><00:53:00.880><c> things.</c>

00:53:03.639 --> 00:53:06.559
Perhaps<00:53:03.900><c> to</c><00:53:04.059><c> bring</c><00:53:04.139><c> our</c><00:53:04.440><c> thoughts</c><00:53:05.119><c> to</c><00:53:05.900><c> a</c><00:53:06.039><c> focus,</c>

00:53:06.760 --> 00:53:09.000
I've<00:53:06.840><c> just</c><00:53:06.940><c> got</c><00:53:07.039><c> a</c><00:53:07.260><c> short</c><00:53:07.500><c> poem</c><00:53:07.699><c> I'd</c><00:53:07.920><c> like</c><00:53:08.039><c> to</c><00:53:08.199><c> read</c><00:53:08.380><c> to</c><00:53:08.559><c> you</c>

00:53:09.000 --> 00:53:10.980
by<00:53:09.219><c> way</c><00:53:09.380><c> of</c><00:53:09.579><c> conclusion</c><00:53:10.000><c> that</c><00:53:10.239><c> I</c><00:53:10.320><c> think</c><00:53:10.480><c> presents</c>

00:53:10.980 --> 00:53:13.340
the<00:53:11.320><c> essence</c><00:53:11.880><c> of</c><00:53:12.300><c> our</c><00:53:12.539><c> appropriation</c>

00:53:13.340 --> 00:53:15.480
of<00:53:13.739><c> Christ's</c><00:53:14.980><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:53:16.019 --> 00:53:18.260
I<00:53:16.400><c> asked</c><00:53:16.719><c> the</c><00:53:16.860><c> Lord</c><00:53:17.159><c> that</c><00:53:17.320><c> I</c><00:53:17.480><c> might</c><00:53:17.760><c> grow</c>

00:53:18.260 --> 00:53:21.400
in<00:53:18.840><c> faith</c><00:53:19.159><c> and</c><00:53:19.380><c> love</c><00:53:19.659><c> and</c><00:53:19.880><c> every</c><00:53:20.079><c> grace,</c>

00:53:21.579 --> 00:53:23.460
might<00:53:21.659><c> more</c><00:53:21.980><c> of</c><00:53:22.139><c> His</c><00:53:22.320><c> salvation</c><00:53:22.960><c> know</c>

00:53:23.460 --> 00:53:26.639
and<00:53:24.139><c> seek</c><00:53:24.400><c> more</c><00:53:24.739><c> earnestly</c><00:53:25.119><c> His</c><00:53:25.460><c> face.</c>

00:53:26.960 --> 00:53:28.980
I<00:53:27.360><c> thought</c><00:53:27.579><c> that</c><00:53:27.760><c> in</c><00:53:27.980><c> some</c><00:53:28.159><c> favored</c><00:53:28.460><c> hour</c>

00:53:28.980 --> 00:53:31.260
at<00:53:29.440><c> once</c><00:53:29.780><c> He'd</c><00:53:30.099><c> answer</c><00:53:30.300><c> my</c><00:53:30.579><c> request</c>

00:53:31.260 --> 00:53:34.039
and<00:53:31.920><c> by</c><00:53:32.139><c> His</c><00:53:32.440><c> love's</c><00:53:32.980><c> constraining</c><00:53:33.320><c> power</c>

00:53:34.039 --> 00:53:36.980
subdue<00:53:34.840><c> my</c><00:53:35.159><c> sins</c><00:53:35.460><c> and</c><00:53:35.679><c> give</c><00:53:35.820><c> me</c><00:53:36.039><c> rest.</c>

00:53:38.000 --> 00:53:39.539
Instead<00:53:38.320><c> of</c><00:53:38.500><c> this,</c><00:53:38.699><c> He</c><00:53:38.820><c> made</c><00:53:39.019><c> me</c><00:53:39.300><c> feel</c>

00:53:39.539 --> 00:53:41.219
the<00:53:39.739><c> hidden</c><00:53:39.980><c> evils</c><00:53:40.280><c> of</c><00:53:40.460><c> my</c><00:53:40.739><c> heart</c>

00:53:41.219 --> 00:53:43.719
and<00:53:41.860><c> let</c><00:53:42.059><c> the</c><00:53:42.260><c> angry</c><00:53:42.579><c> powers</c><00:53:42.920><c> within</c>

00:53:43.719 --> 00:53:46.559
assault<00:53:44.440><c> my</c><00:53:44.760><c> being</c><00:53:45.039><c> in</c><00:53:45.300><c> every</c><00:53:45.539><c> part.</c>

00:53:47.179 --> 00:53:48.940
Lord,<00:53:47.920><c> why</c><00:53:48.199><c> is</c><00:53:48.480><c> this?</c>

00:53:49.159 --> 00:53:50.980
I<00:53:49.519><c> trembling</c><00:53:49.920><c> cried.</c>

00:53:51.099 --> 00:53:53.380
Will<00:53:51.280><c> thou</c><00:53:51.460><c> pursue</c><00:53:51.820><c> me</c><00:53:52.019><c> to</c><00:53:52.179><c> the</c><00:53:52.360><c> death?</c>

00:53:53.800 --> 00:53:56.000
It<00:53:53.880><c> is</c><00:53:54.000><c> in</c><00:53:54.139><c> this</c><00:53:54.320><c> way</c><00:53:54.539><c> the</c><00:53:54.659><c> Lord</c><00:53:54.900><c> replied.</c>

00:53:56.219 --> 00:53:59.639
I<00:53:56.360><c> answer</c><00:53:56.639><c> prayer</c><00:53:57.039><c> for</c><00:53:57.280><c> grace</c><00:53:57.980><c> and</c><00:53:58.719><c> faith.</c>

00:54:00.360 --> 00:54:02.179
These<00:54:00.539><c> inward</c><00:54:00.860><c> trials</c><00:54:01.239><c> I</c><00:54:01.679><c> employ</c>

00:54:02.179 --> 00:54:04.980
from<00:54:02.880><c> self</c><00:54:03.260><c> and</c><00:54:03.559><c> pride</c><00:54:03.880><c> to</c><00:54:04.119><c> set</c><00:54:04.260><c> thee</c><00:54:04.539><c> free</c>

00:54:04.980 --> 00:54:08.239
and<00:54:06.039><c> break</c><00:54:06.320><c> thy</c><00:54:06.579><c> schemes</c><00:54:06.960><c> of</c><00:54:07.219><c> earthly</c><00:54:07.480><c> joy</c>

00:54:08.239 --> 00:54:13.199
that<00:54:08.940><c> thou</c><00:54:09.179><c> mayest</c><00:54:09.719><c> seek</c><00:54:09.960><c> thy</c><00:54:10.280><c> all</c><00:54:11.239><c> in</c><00:54:11.920><c> me.</c>

00:54:13.780 --> 00:54:15.599
This<00:54:13.900><c> is</c><00:54:14.000><c> about</c><00:54:14.139><c> our</c><00:54:14.320><c> heads</c><00:54:14.440><c> in</c><00:54:14.739><c> prayer.</c>
