00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.420
Peter<00:01:39.519><c> suggests</c><00:01:40.079><c> that</c><00:01:40.319><c> they</c><00:01:41.040><c> build</c><00:01:41.280><c> three</c><00:01:41.599><c> tabernacles,</c><00:01:42.219><c> one</c>

00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:53.799
a<00:01:52.400><c> cloud</c><00:01:52.620><c> overshadows</c><00:01:53.299><c> the</c><00:01:53.599><c> group,</c>

00:01:53.819 --> 00:01:57.200
and<00:01:54.079><c> the</c><00:01:54.239><c> voice</c><00:01:54.500><c> of</c><00:01:54.700><c> God</c><00:01:54.900><c> himself</c><00:01:55.340><c> comes</c><00:01:55.659><c> from</c><00:01:55.879><c> the</c><00:01:56.099><c> cloud</c><00:01:56.359><c> saying,</c>

00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:01.640
This<00:01:57.560><c> is</c><00:01:57.780><c> my</c><00:01:58.000><c> beloved</c><00:01:58.299><c> Son</c><00:01:58.519><c> in</c><00:01:58.739><c> whom</c><00:01:58.879><c> I</c><00:01:59.060><c> am</c><00:01:59.180><c> well</c><00:01:59.459><c> pleased,</c><00:02:00.200><c> hear</c><00:02:00.400><c> ye</c><00:02:00.579><c> him.</c>

Then<00:02:02.920><c> the</c><00:02:03.200><c> cloud</c><00:02:03.579><c> dissipates.</c><00:02:04.560><c> Moses</c><00:02:04.780><c> and</c><00:02:05.000><c> Elijah</c><00:02:05.319><c> have</c><00:02:05.519><c> disappeared.</c>

00:02:06.859 --> 00:02:10.439
The<00:02:06.980><c> disciples</c><00:02:07.379><c> are</c><00:02:07.560><c> full</c><00:02:07.760><c> of</c><00:02:08.060><c> fear.</c><00:02:08.879><c> Jesus</c><00:02:09.300><c> touches</c><00:02:09.840><c> them</c><00:02:10.199><c> to</c>

00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:16.020
And<00:02:13.419><c> as</c><00:02:13.599><c> they</c><00:02:13.759><c> descend</c><00:02:14.120><c> the</c><00:02:14.319><c> mountain,</c><00:02:14.639><c> he</c><00:02:14.819><c> says,</c><00:02:15.199><c> Tell</c><00:02:15.419><c> no</c><00:02:15.680><c> man</c><00:02:15.860><c> of</c>

00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:25.419
And<00:02:21.259><c> it</c><00:02:21.740><c> opens</c><00:02:22.080><c> up</c><00:02:22.360><c> a</c><00:02:22.599><c> lot</c><00:02:22.780><c> of</c><00:02:23.080><c> questions,</c><00:02:23.680><c> doesn't</c><00:02:23.840><c> it,</c><00:02:24.039><c> brothers</c><00:02:24.240><c> and</c><00:02:24.479><c> sisters?</c>

00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:29.280
Why<00:02:26.139><c> did</c><00:02:26.379><c> Jesus'</c><00:02:27.099><c> appearance</c><00:02:27.340><c> change?</c><00:02:27.979><c> What</c><00:02:28.099><c> is</c><00:02:28.300><c> this</c><00:02:28.539><c> shining</c><00:02:28.879><c> of</c><00:02:29.080><c> the</c>

I<00:02:35.219><c> hope</c><00:02:35.360><c> you</c><00:02:35.460><c> won't</c><00:02:35.599><c> be</c><00:02:35.819><c> disappointed,</c><00:02:36.520><c> brothers</c><00:02:36.560><c> and</c><00:02:36.740><c> sisters.</c>

One<00:02:37.240><c> thing</c><00:02:37.400><c> we're</c><00:02:37.539><c> not</c><00:02:37.759><c> going</c><00:02:37.919><c> to</c><00:02:38.159><c> discuss</c><00:02:38.539><c> this</c><00:02:38.979><c> week</c><00:02:39.319><c> is</c><00:02:39.800><c> whether</c><00:02:40.060><c> it</c>

00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:01.400
And<00:02:58.400><c> it's</c><00:02:58.900><c> not</c><00:02:59.020><c> important.</c><00:03:00.259><c> What</c><00:03:00.439><c> is</c><00:03:00.719><c> important</c><00:03:01.099><c> is</c><00:03:01.280><c> that</c><00:03:01.280><c> it</c>

00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:03.919

00:03:04.060 --> 00:03:07.300
It<00:03:04.180><c> wasn't,</c><00:03:04.500><c> for</c><00:03:04.680><c> instance,</c><00:03:05.039><c> Abraham</c><00:03:05.599><c> or</c><00:03:06.139><c> David.</c>

00:03:07.780 --> 00:03:11.620
And<00:03:08.060><c> we're</c><00:03:08.240><c> going</c><00:03:08.360><c> to</c><00:03:08.460><c> see,</c><00:03:09.099><c> God</c><00:03:09.340><c> willing,</c><00:03:09.759><c> in</c><00:03:09.900><c> class</c><00:03:10.539><c> number</c><00:03:11.020><c> two,</c>

00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:16.219
the<00:03:12.099><c> importance</c><00:03:12.599><c> of</c><00:03:12.919><c> Moses</c><00:03:13.300><c> and</c><00:03:13.539><c> Elijah</c><00:03:13.860><c> being</c><00:03:14.259><c> with</c><00:03:14.960><c> the</c><00:03:15.139><c> Lord</c><00:03:15.319><c> there</c><00:03:15.740><c> on</c>

the<00:03:16.400><c> mountain.</c>

00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:21.680
So<00:03:18.939><c> what</c><00:03:19.340><c> does</c><00:03:19.639><c> this</c><00:03:20.060><c> transfiguration</c><00:03:21.080><c> mean?</c>

00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:24.159
What<00:03:22.259><c> is</c><00:03:22.879><c> it</c><00:03:23.000><c> all</c><00:03:23.280><c> about?</c>

00:03:25.300 --> 00:03:28.000
Well,<00:03:25.439><c> the</c><00:03:25.560><c> good</c><00:03:25.800><c> starting</c><00:03:26.099><c> point</c><00:03:26.460><c> really</c><00:03:26.740><c> is</c><00:03:26.919><c> to</c><00:03:27.340><c> define</c>

00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:31.860
what<00:03:28.719><c> this</c><00:03:29.020><c> word</c><00:03:30.080><c> transfiguration</c><00:03:31.120><c> actually</c><00:03:31.520><c> means.</c>

00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:36.300
I'm<00:03:32.139><c> sure</c><00:03:32.240><c> it's</c><00:03:32.419><c> not</c><00:03:32.580><c> a</c><00:03:32.719><c> word</c><00:03:32.900><c> that</c><00:03:33.120><c> we</c><00:03:34.199><c> use</c><00:03:34.419><c> every</c><00:03:34.840><c> day</c><00:03:35.060><c> in</c><00:03:35.419><c> our</c>

00:03:38.819 --> 00:03:42.039
And<00:03:38.960><c> basically</c><00:03:39.219><c> the</c><00:03:39.379><c> word</c><00:03:39.560><c> transfiguration,</c><00:03:40.620><c> there's</c><00:03:40.719><c> nothing</c><00:03:40.879><c> mysterious</c><00:03:41.560><c> about</c><00:03:41.879><c> it.</c>

00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:43.780
It's<00:03:42.180><c> a</c><00:03:42.199><c> very</c><00:03:42.819><c> simple</c><00:03:43.319><c> word.</c>

00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:49.120

00:04:19.100 --> 00:04:21.879
So<00:04:19.240><c> it's</c><00:04:19.360><c> a</c><00:04:19.459><c> very</c><00:04:19.660><c> unusual</c><00:04:20.160><c> word,</c><00:04:20.819><c> but</c><00:04:20.980><c> it's</c><00:04:21.220><c> a</c><00:04:21.339><c> simple</c><00:04:21.620><c> word.</c>

00:04:21.899 --> 00:04:25.139

00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:38.480
And<00:04:35.160><c> we</c><00:04:35.259><c> can</c><00:04:35.459><c> think,</c><00:04:35.660><c> for</c><00:04:35.939><c> example,</c><00:04:36.720><c> of</c><00:04:36.899><c> the</c><00:04:37.120><c> metamorphosis</c>

00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:40.740

a<00:04:47.480><c> butterfly.</c>

00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:51.899
We<00:04:48.819><c> know</c><00:04:48.980><c> how</c><00:04:49.160><c> the</c><00:04:49.360><c> caterpillar</c><00:04:50.000><c> goes</c><00:04:50.420><c> into</c><00:04:50.699><c> its</c><00:04:51.079><c> pupa</c><00:04:51.500><c> stage</c>

this<00:04:56.420><c> butterfly</c><00:04:56.959><c> with</c><00:04:57.279><c> wings,</c>

00:04:57.899 --> 00:05:01.819

00:05:01.899 --> 00:05:05.560
And<00:05:02.300><c> that's</c><00:05:02.519><c> the</c><00:05:02.680><c> idea</c><00:05:02.939><c> of</c><00:05:03.139><c> this</c><00:05:03.379><c> word</c><00:05:03.879><c> transfiguration.</c>

00:05:05.779 --> 00:05:09.720

00:05:10.100 --> 00:05:14.759
But<00:05:10.759><c> it's</c><00:05:11.040><c> more</c><00:05:11.519><c> than</c><00:05:11.860><c> just</c><00:05:12.519><c> that</c><00:05:12.980><c> single</c><00:05:13.399><c> change</c><00:05:14.040><c> from</c><00:05:14.500><c> the</c>

00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:25.620

00:05:25.939 --> 00:05:31.779

00:05:32.660 --> 00:05:35.279
And<00:05:33.000><c> then</c><00:05:33.100><c> we</c><00:05:33.220><c> get</c><00:05:33.439><c> what</c><00:05:33.579><c> is</c><00:05:33.819><c> called</c><00:05:34.060><c> the</c><00:05:34.579><c> larva</c><00:05:34.879><c> stage.</c>

00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:37.319

The<00:05:38.019><c> larva</c><00:05:38.379><c> stage,</c><00:05:39.300><c> or</c><00:05:39.620><c> the</c><00:05:39.899><c> caterpillar</c><00:05:40.339><c> stage,</c><00:05:40.779><c> we</c><00:05:41.259><c> would</c>

commonly<00:05:41.740><c> call</c><00:05:42.019><c> it.</c>

00:05:42.740 --> 00:05:46.500
And<00:05:42.839><c> basically</c><00:05:43.199><c> all</c><00:05:43.420><c> the</c><00:05:43.660><c> caterpillar</c><00:05:44.040><c> does</c><00:05:44.399><c> is</c><00:05:44.860><c> eat,</c><00:05:46.339><c> a</c><00:05:46.379><c> lot</c>

00:05:46.500 --> 00:05:47.720

00:05:47.740 --> 00:05:50.420
All<00:05:47.879><c> we</c><00:05:48.300><c> seem</c><00:05:48.540><c> to</c><00:05:48.699><c> do</c><00:05:48.899><c> is</c><00:05:49.480><c> eat.</c>

00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:56.540
And<00:05:51.079><c> he</c><00:05:51.740><c> spends</c><00:05:52.040><c> his</c><00:05:52.279><c> whole</c><00:05:52.500><c> life</c><00:05:53.100><c> eating</c><00:05:53.720><c> leaves</c><00:05:55.220><c> from</c><00:05:55.980><c> the</c>

00:05:59.060 --> 00:06:01.620
The<00:05:59.319><c> third</c><00:05:59.620><c> stage</c><00:06:00.019><c> is</c><00:06:00.279><c> called</c><00:06:00.500><c> the</c><00:06:00.740><c> pupa</c><00:06:01.120><c> stage.</c>

00:06:01.620 --> 00:06:07.279
This<00:06:02.180><c> is</c><00:06:02.399><c> where</c><00:06:02.660><c> the</c><00:06:03.639><c> larva</c><00:06:03.920><c> just</c><00:06:04.480><c> descends</c><00:06:05.360><c> motionless</c><00:06:06.500><c> from</c>

00:06:15.060 --> 00:06:20.120
And<00:06:15.680><c> finally</c><00:06:16.019><c> we</c><00:06:16.279><c> come</c><00:06:16.540><c> to</c><00:06:16.899><c> the</c><00:06:17.540><c> fourth</c><00:06:17.899><c> stage</c><00:06:18.480><c> of</c><00:06:19.120><c> metamorphosis</c>

00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:25.740

00:06:25.740 --> 00:06:28.259
this<00:06:25.959><c> beautiful</c><00:06:26.660><c> new</c><00:06:27.220><c> creature.</c>

00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:35.699
And<00:06:29.319><c> it's</c><00:06:29.540><c> not</c><00:06:29.660><c> a</c><00:06:29.839><c> new</c><00:06:30.040><c> thing</c><00:06:30.660><c> to</c><00:06:31.980><c> describe</c><00:06:32.699><c> this</c><00:06:33.060><c> metamorphosis</c><00:06:33.839><c> with</c><00:06:35.420><c> a</c>

00:06:38.220 --> 00:06:41.879
I'm<00:06:38.399><c> sure</c><00:06:38.540><c> you've</c><00:06:39.139><c> seen</c><00:06:39.439><c> this</c><00:06:40.660><c> explanation</c><00:06:41.399><c> before</c>

00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:47.019
of<00:06:42.079><c> how</c><00:06:42.519><c> this</c><00:06:42.839><c> metamorphosis</c><00:06:43.540><c> in</c><00:06:43.699><c> the</c><00:06:43.819><c> natural</c><00:06:44.259><c> world</c><00:06:44.980><c> explains</c><00:06:46.000><c> our</c>

00:06:52.540 --> 00:06:55.600
And<00:06:52.759><c> this</c><00:06:52.879><c> is</c><00:06:53.000><c> what</c><00:06:53.139><c> the</c><00:06:53.399><c> transfiguration</c><00:06:54.160><c> of</c><00:06:54.339><c> the</c><00:06:54.480><c> Lord</c><00:06:54.639><c> Jesus</c><00:06:55.040><c> Christ</c><00:06:55.339><c> is</c>

00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:56.160
teaching<00:06:55.920><c> us,</c>

00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:00.980
about<00:06:57.000><c> these</c><00:06:57.779><c> four</c><00:06:58.379><c> stages</c><00:06:58.920><c> that</c><00:06:59.220><c> we</c><00:06:59.439><c> need</c><00:06:59.699><c> to</c><00:06:59.879><c> go</c><00:07:00.139><c> through</c><00:07:00.500><c> in</c>

00:07:00.980 --> 00:07:02.079
our<00:07:01.199><c> lives.</c>

00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:06.040
First<00:07:02.779><c> of</c><00:07:02.959><c> all</c><00:07:03.120><c> we</c><00:07:03.240><c> go</c><00:07:03.480><c> through</c><00:07:03.660><c> that</c><00:07:03.939><c> first</c><00:07:04.259><c> stage,</c><00:07:04.939><c> the</c><00:07:05.180><c> egg</c><00:07:05.519><c> stage.</c>

00:07:06.500 --> 00:07:10.779
This<00:07:06.699><c> is</c><00:07:06.879><c> where</c><00:07:07.079><c> the</c><00:07:07.740><c> word</c><00:07:07.939><c> of</c><00:07:08.259><c> God</c><00:07:08.519><c> is</c><00:07:08.939><c> planted</c><00:07:09.279><c> in</c><00:07:09.519><c> our</c><00:07:09.720><c> hearts.</c>

00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:14.379
And<00:07:11.560><c> we</c><00:07:11.660><c> go</c><00:07:11.819><c> through</c><00:07:11.980><c> the</c><00:07:12.160><c> waters</c><00:07:12.379><c> of</c><00:07:12.680><c> baptism,</c><00:07:13.120><c> we</c><00:07:13.339><c> begin</c><00:07:13.779><c> our</c>

00:07:14.379 --> 00:07:15.240
walk<00:07:14.660><c> in</c><00:07:14.839><c> the</c><00:07:15.040><c> truth,</c>

00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:18.139
and<00:07:15.459><c> we</c><00:07:15.720><c> then</c><00:07:16.060><c> go</c><00:07:16.259><c> into</c><00:07:16.500><c> the</c><00:07:16.740><c> larva</c><00:07:17.000><c> stage.</c>

00:07:18.459 --> 00:07:21.620
Remember<00:07:18.720><c> how</c><00:07:18.920><c> he</c><00:07:19.040><c> said</c><00:07:19.139><c> the</c><00:07:19.399><c> caterpillar</c><00:07:19.800><c> basically</c><00:07:20.199><c> is</c><00:07:20.439><c> just</c><00:07:20.800><c> feeding</c><00:07:21.139><c> his</c>

00:07:22.339 --> 00:07:28.040
And<00:07:22.339><c> so</c><00:07:23.560><c> our</c><00:07:24.079><c> life</c><00:07:24.360><c> in</c><00:07:24.540><c> the</c><00:07:24.759><c> truth</c><00:07:25.319><c> consists</c><00:07:26.100><c> in</c><00:07:27.120><c> feeding</c><00:07:27.519><c> on</c>

00:07:36.860 --> 00:07:41.019
us,<00:07:38.439><c> transforming</c><00:07:39.240><c> our</c><00:07:40.000><c> characters.</c>

00:07:42.420 --> 00:07:45.199
Now<00:07:42.620><c> the</c><00:07:42.759><c> third</c><00:07:43.100><c> stage</c><00:07:43.579><c> is</c><00:07:44.079><c> the</c><00:07:44.259><c> stage</c><00:07:44.399><c> we</c><00:07:44.519><c> don't</c><00:07:44.759><c> like</c><00:07:44.980><c> to</c>

think<00:07:45.399><c> about,</c>

00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:52.519
but<00:07:46.779><c> it</c><00:07:47.420><c> is</c><00:07:47.959><c> necessary</c><00:07:48.620><c> in</c><00:07:49.879><c> the</c><00:07:50.139><c> transformation</c><00:07:50.920><c> of</c><00:07:51.360><c> our</c><00:07:51.519><c> lives.</c>

00:07:53.180 --> 00:07:55.379
Everyone<00:07:53.519><c> needs</c><00:07:54.040><c> to</c><00:07:54.319><c> die.</c>

00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:00.259
And<00:07:56.959><c> then</c><00:07:57.160><c> the</c><00:07:57.779><c> final</c><00:07:58.160><c> stage,</c><00:07:59.100><c> the</c><00:07:59.360><c> glorious</c><00:07:59.720><c> stage,</c>

00:08:00.339 --> 00:08:05.019
when<00:08:00.439><c> we</c><00:08:00.660><c> emerge</c><00:08:01.160><c> from</c><00:08:02.040><c> the</c><00:08:02.300><c> tomb</c><00:08:02.500><c> on</c><00:08:02.660><c> the</c><00:08:02.759><c> day</c><00:08:02.939><c> of</c><00:08:03.199><c> resurrection</c><00:08:03.680><c> into</c><00:08:04.519><c> that</c>

00:08:13.339 --> 00:08:18.680
So<00:08:14.040><c> that's</c><00:08:14.480><c> basically</c><00:08:14.939><c> what</c><00:08:15.300><c> the</c><00:08:16.180><c> metamorphosis</c><00:08:16.920><c> is</c><00:08:17.399><c> that</c><00:08:18.139><c> each</c><00:08:18.519><c> of</c>

00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.899

00:26:33.500 --> 00:26:36.200
And<00:26:33.500><c> now</c><00:26:33.859><c> is</c><00:26:34.500><c> my</c><00:26:34.799><c> soul</c><00:26:35.059><c> troubled.</c>

00:27:05.160 --> 00:27:07.539
So<00:27:05.299><c> we</c><00:27:05.420><c> can</c><00:27:05.640><c> see</c><00:27:05.779><c> that</c><00:27:05.920><c> there's</c><00:27:06.160><c> a</c><00:27:06.359><c> clear</c><00:27:06.599><c> connection</c><00:27:07.119><c> between</c>

00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:20.380

00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:17.440
It's<00:33:14.980><c> the</c><00:33:15.099><c> first</c><00:33:15.380><c> temptation</c><00:33:15.859><c> all</c><00:33:16.160><c> over</c><00:33:16.440><c> again.</c>

00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:20.259
The<00:33:17.759><c> temptation</c><00:33:18.200><c> to</c><00:33:18.480><c> do</c><00:33:18.660><c> a</c><00:33:18.740><c> miracle</c><00:33:19.140><c> involving</c><00:33:19.579><c> bread,</c><00:33:20.140><c> to</c>

John<00:33:36.400><c> 6</c><00:33:36.720><c> verse</c><00:33:37.000><c> 15,</c><00:33:37.880><c> When</c><00:33:38.319><c> Jesus</c><00:33:38.740><c> therefore</c><00:33:39.180><c> perceived</c><00:33:39.720><c> that</c>

00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:40.559

00:33:48.700 --> 00:33:51.619
That's<00:33:49.140><c> the</c><00:33:49.599><c> temptation</c><00:33:50.099><c> all</c><00:33:50.420><c> over</c><00:33:50.619><c> again</c><00:33:50.839><c> when</c><00:33:50.980><c> Jesus</c><00:33:51.319><c> was</c>

00:33:51.619 --> 00:33:52.799

00:34:03.339 --> 00:34:05.079
They're<00:34:03.599><c> going</c><00:34:03.680><c> to</c><00:34:04.200><c> make</c><00:34:04.359><c> him</c><00:34:04.579><c> a</c><00:34:04.759><c> king.</c>

00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:11.960
He<00:34:09.380><c> wasn't</c><00:34:09.639><c> some</c><00:34:10.019><c> superhuman</c><00:34:10.739><c> who</c><00:34:10.940><c> could</c><00:34:11.119><c> just</c><00:34:11.420><c> brush</c><00:34:11.659><c> these</c>

00:35:57.280 --> 00:35:59.300
He<00:35:57.400><c> knew</c><00:35:57.619><c> he</c><00:35:57.760><c> would</c><00:35:57.960><c> give</c><00:35:58.179><c> in</c><00:35:58.340><c> because</c><00:35:58.579><c> of</c><00:35:58.760><c> the</c><00:35:58.980><c> flesh.</c>

and<00:37:54.059><c> chief</c><00:37:54.300><c> priests</c><00:37:54.619><c> and</c><00:37:54.860><c> scribes</c><00:37:55.179><c> and</c><00:37:55.300><c> be</c><00:37:55.500><c> killed</c>

00:37:55.800 --> 00:37:58.539

00:37:59.559 --> 00:38:04.300
Then<00:37:59.880><c> Peter</c><00:38:00.159><c> took</c><00:38:00.420><c> him</c><00:38:00.980><c> and</c><00:38:01.739><c> began</c><00:38:02.039><c> to</c><00:38:02.360><c> rebuke</c><00:38:02.619><c> him,</c><00:38:03.059><c> saying,</c>

00:38:04.760 --> 00:38:09.179
pity<00:38:05.019><c> yourself,</c><00:38:05.500><c> Lord,</c><00:38:07.139><c> you</c><00:38:07.400><c> shall</c><00:38:07.619><c> not</c><00:38:07.880><c> surely</c><00:38:08.199><c> die.</c>

00:38:09.920 --> 00:38:12.019
That's<00:38:10.500><c> what</c><00:38:10.599><c> he</c><00:38:10.780><c> said</c><00:38:10.900><c> in</c><00:38:11.159><c> effect,</c><00:38:11.500><c> isn't</c><00:38:11.639><c> it?</c>

00:38:12.179 --> 00:38:15.000
When<00:38:12.360><c> he</c><00:38:12.500><c> said,</c><00:38:12.780><c> this</c><00:38:12.920><c> shall</c><00:38:13.179><c> not</c><00:38:13.380><c> be</c><00:38:13.559><c> unto</c><00:38:13.760><c> you,</c>

00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:18.840
he<00:38:15.239><c> was</c><00:38:15.539><c> using</c><00:38:16.099><c> the</c><00:38:16.559><c> same</c><00:38:17.280><c> thing</c><00:38:17.679><c> that</c><00:38:17.880><c> the</c><00:38:18.139><c> serpent</c><00:38:18.480><c> said.</c>

00:38:19.079 --> 00:38:21.320
You<00:38:19.420><c> shall</c><00:38:19.719><c> not</c><00:38:20.000><c> surely</c><00:38:20.340><c> die.</c>

00:38:21.800 --> 00:38:29.760
Here<00:38:22.179><c> is</c><00:38:23.059><c> Peter</c><00:38:23.320><c> here</c><00:38:23.900><c> acting</c><00:38:24.500><c> as</c><00:38:25.639><c> the</c><00:38:25.900><c> serpent</c><00:38:26.280><c> in</c><00:38:26.500><c> the</c><00:38:26.639><c> garden</c><00:38:27.519><c> of</c><00:38:28.780><c> Eden.</c>

00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:32.500
You<00:38:30.280><c> shall</c><00:38:30.659><c> not</c><00:38:31.119><c> surely</c><00:38:31.460><c> die.</c>

00:38:32.820 --> 00:38:35.860
And<00:38:33.000><c> look</c><00:38:33.119><c> at</c><00:38:33.280><c> the</c><00:38:33.500><c> rebuke</c><00:38:33.880><c> which</c><00:38:34.139><c> our</c><00:38:34.360><c> Lord</c><00:38:34.539><c> gives</c><00:38:35.059><c> to</c><00:38:35.480><c> Peter</c>

00:38:35.860 --> 00:38:37.679
at<00:38:36.519><c> this</c><00:38:36.760><c> point.</c>

00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:44.340
He<00:38:38.739><c> turned</c><00:38:39.179><c> and</c><00:38:39.440><c> said</c><00:38:39.559><c> unto</c><00:38:39.760><c> Peter,</c><00:38:41.820><c> get</c><00:38:41.980><c> thee</c><00:38:42.260><c> behind</c><00:38:42.780><c> me,</c><00:38:43.599><c> Satan.</c>

00:38:45.460 --> 00:38:47.800
Can<00:38:45.659><c> you</c><00:38:45.739><c> imagine</c><00:38:46.079><c> the</c><00:38:46.320><c> scene</c><00:38:46.519><c> there?</c>

00:38:47.800 --> 00:38:50.800
Here<00:38:48.599><c> a</c><00:38:48.739><c> week</c><00:38:48.860><c> before</c><00:38:49.179><c> the</c><00:38:49.440><c> transfiguration.</c>

00:38:51.179 --> 00:38:54.699
Here<00:38:51.199><c> is</c><00:38:51.500><c> Peter,</c><00:38:52.579><c> that</c><00:38:52.860><c> close</c><00:38:53.340><c> friend</c><00:38:53.760><c> and</c><00:38:54.000><c> disciple</c><00:38:54.380><c> of</c><00:38:54.619><c> the</c>

Lord<00:38:54.920><c> Jesus</c><00:38:55.320><c> Christ.</c>

00:38:57.119 --> 00:39:00.500
Jesus<00:38:57.380><c> says</c><00:38:57.699><c> to</c><00:38:57.860><c> him,</c><00:38:58.960><c> I'm</c><00:38:59.079><c> going</c><00:38:59.139><c> to</c><00:38:59.239><c> have</c><00:38:59.400><c> to</c><00:38:59.579><c> die.</c>

00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:03.760
Peter<00:39:00.900><c> says,</c><00:39:01.840><c> no,</c><00:39:02.059><c> we</c><00:39:02.159><c> don't</c><00:39:02.320><c> have</c><00:39:02.519><c> to</c><00:39:02.679><c> do</c><00:39:02.860><c> that.</c>

00:39:04.260 --> 00:39:07.260
And<00:39:04.460><c> Jesus</c><00:39:04.719><c> turns</c><00:39:05.099><c> to</c><00:39:05.260><c> him</c><00:39:05.360><c> and</c><00:39:05.719><c> strongly</c><00:39:06.059><c> says,</c><00:39:06.900><c> get</c><00:39:07.079><c> thee</c>

00:39:07.260 --> 00:39:08.699
behind<00:39:07.659><c> me,</c><00:39:08.139><c> Satan.</c>

00:39:09.400 --> 00:39:13.599
Can<00:39:09.519><c> you</c><00:39:09.619><c> imagine</c><00:39:09.980><c> Peter</c><00:39:10.400><c> standing</c><00:39:10.780><c> back</c><00:39:11.119><c> with</c><00:39:11.340><c> horror</c><00:39:11.760><c> as</c><00:39:12.380><c> our</c><00:39:12.579><c> Lord</c><00:39:12.780><c> said</c><00:39:13.019><c> that</c><00:39:13.179><c> to</c><00:39:13.340><c> him?</c>

00:39:13.960 --> 00:39:16.460
The<00:39:14.199><c> same</c><00:39:14.440><c> thing</c><00:39:14.599><c> that</c><00:39:14.760><c> the</c><00:39:14.900><c> Lord</c><00:39:15.079><c> said</c><00:39:15.440><c> in</c><00:39:15.900><c> the</c><00:39:16.099><c> desert</c>

00:39:16.460 --> 00:39:20.059
and<00:39:16.940><c> that</c><00:39:17.139><c> third</c><00:39:17.360><c> temptation,</c><00:39:18.400><c> get</c><00:39:18.559><c> thee</c><00:39:18.780><c> hence,</c><00:39:19.360><c> Satan.</c>

00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:26.599
Because<00:39:20.880><c> brothers</c><00:39:21.380><c> and</c><00:39:21.619><c> sisters,</c><00:39:22.340><c> this</c><00:39:22.599><c> is</c><00:39:22.880><c> exactly</c><00:39:23.579><c> what</c><00:39:24.039><c> the</c><00:39:24.440><c> flesh</c><00:39:24.980><c> wanted</c><00:39:25.460><c> to</c><00:39:25.800><c> hear.</c>

00:39:26.920 --> 00:39:29.340
Jesus<00:39:27.280><c> didn't</c><00:39:27.639><c> want</c><00:39:28.079><c> to</c><00:39:28.320><c> die.</c>

00:39:29.840 --> 00:39:32.000
Nobody<00:39:30.059><c> wants</c><00:39:30.480><c> to</c><00:39:30.639><c> be</c><00:39:30.860><c> crucified.</c>

00:39:34.179 --> 00:39:38.940
Jesus<00:39:34.500><c> said,</c><00:39:35.219><c> let</c><00:39:36.519><c> this</c><00:39:37.079><c> cup</c><00:39:37.300><c> pass</c><00:39:37.679><c> from</c><00:39:37.920><c> me.</c>

00:39:40.039 --> 00:39:42.679
Not<00:39:40.599><c> my</c><00:39:41.019><c> will,</c><00:39:41.880><c> but</c><00:39:42.079><c> thine</c><00:39:42.360><c> be</c><00:39:42.519><c> done.</c>

00:39:42.760 --> 00:39:47.059
It<00:39:42.820><c> was</c><00:39:43.059><c> not</c><00:39:43.460><c> his</c><00:39:44.860><c> desire</c><00:39:45.440><c> to</c><00:39:46.039><c> die.</c>

00:39:47.679 --> 00:39:50.340
It<00:39:47.719><c> was</c><00:39:47.880><c> his</c><00:39:48.159><c> desire</c><00:39:48.500><c> though</c><00:39:48.780><c> to</c><00:39:48.940><c> do</c><00:39:49.300><c> the</c><00:39:49.519><c> will</c><00:39:49.699><c> of</c><00:39:49.900><c> his</c><00:39:50.079><c> father.</c>

00:39:50.420 --> 00:39:53.820
And<00:39:50.559><c> he</c><00:39:50.579><c> knew</c><00:39:50.760><c> he</c><00:39:50.940><c> had</c><00:39:51.199><c> to</c><00:39:51.360><c> go</c><00:39:51.639><c> through</c><00:39:51.880><c> that,</c><00:39:52.440><c> which</c><00:39:52.599><c> was</c><00:39:52.860><c> against</c><00:39:53.420><c> what</c>

00:39:53.820 --> 00:39:56.360
the<00:39:54.139><c> flesh</c><00:39:54.719><c> wanted</c><00:39:55.139><c> to</c><00:39:55.420><c> do.</c>

00:39:57.260 --> 00:40:01.880
And<00:39:57.440><c> every</c><00:39:57.719><c> inch</c><00:39:58.300><c> of</c><00:39:59.039><c> Jesus'</c><00:39:59.559><c> body</c><00:39:59.760><c> was</c><00:40:00.219><c> crying</c><00:40:00.579><c> out</c><00:40:00.840><c> to</c><00:40:00.960><c> him,</c>

00:40:02.260 --> 00:40:03.559
don't<00:40:02.639><c> go</c><00:40:02.920><c> through</c><00:40:03.119><c> with</c><00:40:03.320><c> this.</c>

00:40:03.559 --> 00:40:07.119
And<00:40:03.719><c> then</c><00:40:04.139><c> Peter</c><00:40:04.539><c> comes</c><00:40:04.860><c> along</c><00:40:05.139><c> and</c><00:40:05.340><c> helps</c><00:40:05.619><c> the</c><00:40:05.880><c> situation</c><00:40:06.579><c> by</c>

00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:10.079
saying,<00:40:08.340><c> thou</c><00:40:08.340><c> shalt</c><00:40:08.519><c> not</c><00:40:08.780><c> surely</c><00:40:09.039><c> die.</c>

00:40:10.559 --> 00:40:13.199
And<00:40:10.659><c> so</c><00:40:10.780><c> Jesus</c><00:40:10.980><c> says,</c><00:40:11.440><c> get</c><00:40:11.559><c> thee</c><00:40:11.820><c> behind</c><00:40:12.199><c> me,</c><00:40:12.500><c> Satan.</c>

00:40:13.300 --> 00:40:18.099
But<00:40:13.860><c> he</c><00:40:14.280><c> adds</c><00:40:14.539><c> to</c><00:40:14.739><c> it</c><00:40:15.219><c> with</c><00:40:15.559><c> a</c><00:40:16.099><c> real</c><00:40:16.460><c> strong</c><00:40:17.219><c> rebuke.</c>

00:40:18.599 --> 00:40:22.780
It's<00:40:18.940><c> hard</c><00:40:19.139><c> to</c><00:40:19.380><c> find</c><00:40:19.599><c> in</c><00:40:19.980><c> scripture</c><00:40:20.400><c> a</c><00:40:20.820><c> stronger</c><00:40:21.219><c> rebuke</c><00:40:21.760><c> than</c><00:40:21.960><c> this.</c>

00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:26.679
He<00:40:23.079><c> says,</c><00:40:23.579><c> you</c><00:40:23.780><c> are</c><00:40:24.280><c> an</c><00:40:24.599><c> offense</c><00:40:25.219><c> unto</c><00:40:25.619><c> me,</c><00:40:25.940><c> Peter.</c>

00:40:27.360 --> 00:40:30.059
Now<00:40:27.639><c> we</c><00:40:27.760><c> use</c><00:40:27.920><c> the</c><00:40:28.119><c> same</c><00:40:28.320><c> word</c><00:40:28.579><c> in</c><00:40:28.800><c> Matthew</c><00:40:29.119><c> chapter</c><00:40:29.460><c> 13.</c>

00:40:30.059 --> 00:40:32.599
Just<00:40:30.639><c> quickly</c><00:40:30.960><c> turn</c><00:40:31.199><c> back</c><00:40:31.380><c> to</c><00:40:31.500><c> Matthew</c><00:40:31.820><c> chapter</c><00:40:32.159><c> 13.</c>

00:40:32.619 --> 00:40:36.099
We<00:40:32.760><c> get</c><00:40:32.920><c> the</c><00:40:33.159><c> same</c><00:40:33.460><c> word</c><00:40:33.920><c> in</c><00:40:34.320><c> the</c><00:40:34.539><c> Greek,</c><00:40:35.119><c> offense.</c>

00:40:36.260 --> 00:40:40.159
And<00:40:36.539><c> we</c><00:40:36.599><c> can</c><00:40:36.800><c> just</c><00:40:37.099><c> get</c><00:40:37.280><c> an</c><00:40:37.480><c> idea</c><00:40:37.800><c> of</c><00:40:37.980><c> the</c><00:40:38.260><c> strength</c><00:40:38.659><c> of</c><00:40:39.219><c> the</c><00:40:39.559><c> rebuke</c><00:40:39.980><c> of</c>
