00:02:02.939 --> 00:02:05.859

00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:11.699
You<00:02:07.620><c> preach</c><00:02:07.879><c> that</c><00:02:08.120><c> to</c><00:02:08.280><c> me,</c><00:02:08.680><c> that's</c><00:02:09.080><c> the</c><00:02:09.360><c> easiest</c><00:02:09.780><c> thing</c><00:02:10.020><c> in</c><00:02:10.199><c> the</c><00:02:10.379><c> world</c><00:02:10.580><c> to</c><00:02:10.860><c> do.</c>

00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.560
It's<00:02:12.939><c> easy</c><00:02:13.419><c> to</c><00:02:13.659><c> sit</c><00:02:13.919><c> back</c><00:02:14.259><c> on</c><00:02:14.780><c> your</c><00:02:15.000><c> laurels</c><00:02:15.280><c> and</c><00:02:15.419><c> say,</c>

00:02:15.620 --> 00:02:17.800

00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:22.539
Is<00:02:20.460><c> that</c><00:02:20.819><c> what</c><00:02:21.039><c> that</c><00:02:21.319><c> Sermon</c><00:02:21.539><c> on</c><00:02:21.599><c> the</c><00:02:21.719><c> Mount</c><00:02:21.840><c> is</c><00:02:22.139><c> teaching</c><00:02:22.240><c> us?</c>

00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:23.659
I<00:02:22.879><c> tell</c><00:02:23.060><c> you,</c><00:02:23.659><c> no.</c>

00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:26.659
It's<00:02:24.139><c> not</c><00:02:24.340><c> teaching</c><00:02:24.699><c> that</c><00:02:24.960><c> at</c><00:02:25.180><c> all,</c><00:02:25.520><c> brothers</c><00:02:25.620><c> and</c><00:02:25.780><c> sisters.</c>

00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:30.719
It's<00:02:27.060><c> teaching</c><00:02:27.319><c> us</c><00:02:27.620><c> true</c><00:02:27.860><c> to</c><00:02:27.939><c> be</c><00:02:28.219><c> pure,</c><00:02:29.300><c> to</c><00:02:29.379><c> be</c><00:02:29.639><c> righteous,</c><00:02:30.599><c> to</c>

00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:31.379
be<00:02:30.979><c> right,</c>

00:02:31.659 --> 00:02:33.000
teaching<00:02:31.919><c> all</c><00:02:32.180><c> of</c><00:02:32.319><c> those</c><00:02:32.539><c> things.</c>

00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:35.860
But<00:02:33.659><c> that</c><00:02:34.039><c> Sermon</c><00:02:34.379><c> on</c><00:02:34.479><c> the</c><00:02:34.620><c> Mount</c><00:02:34.780><c> was</c><00:02:34.979><c> given</c><00:02:35.219><c> by</c><00:02:35.560><c> a</c><00:02:35.659><c> man,</c>

00:02:35.900 --> 00:02:38.400
brothers<00:02:36.139><c> and</c><00:02:36.340><c> sisters,</c><00:02:36.599><c> who</c><00:02:36.800><c> didn't</c><00:02:37.080><c> keep</c><00:02:37.360><c> that</c><00:02:37.580><c> to</c><00:02:37.680><c> himself</c>

00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:42.460
but<00:02:39.340><c> gave</c><00:02:39.759><c> his</c><00:02:40.039><c> life</c><00:02:40.400><c> to</c><00:02:40.560><c> make</c><00:02:40.860><c> certain</c><00:02:41.500><c> that</c><00:02:41.819><c> others</c><00:02:42.080><c> at</c><00:02:42.280><c> least</c>

00:02:42.460 --> 00:02:45.139
would<00:02:42.620><c> have</c><00:02:42.759><c> the</c><00:02:42.879><c> opportunity</c><00:02:43.419><c> to</c><00:02:43.659><c> follow</c><00:02:43.919><c> him</c><00:02:44.280><c> in</c><00:02:44.439><c> that</c><00:02:44.740><c> course.</c>

00:02:45.139 --> 00:02:48.620
And<00:02:45.580><c> that</c><00:02:46.080><c> is</c><00:02:46.500><c> the</c><00:02:46.560><c> responsibility</c><00:02:47.280><c> of</c><00:02:47.479><c> this</c><00:02:47.680><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:52.520
The<00:02:49.280><c> answer</c><00:02:49.620><c> to</c><00:02:49.879><c> the</c><00:02:49.879><c> problems</c><00:02:50.180><c> is</c><00:02:50.400><c> not</c><00:02:50.699><c> to</c><00:02:50.960><c> lock</c><00:02:51.180><c> that</c><00:02:51.539><c> door.</c>

00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:54.000
That<00:02:53.039><c> is</c><00:02:53.300><c> ridiculous.</c>

00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:56.060
That's<00:02:55.039><c> easy.</c>

00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:58.759
And<00:02:56.659><c> I</c><00:02:56.860><c> don't</c><00:02:57.099><c> know</c><00:02:57.379><c> of</c><00:02:57.560><c> any</c><00:02:57.800><c> course</c><00:02:58.039><c> of</c><00:02:58.259><c> action,</c><00:02:58.659><c> brothers</c>

00:02:58.759 --> 00:02:59.400
and<00:02:58.960><c> sisters,</c>

00:03:04.060 --> 00:03:07.379
If<00:03:04.219><c> you</c><00:03:04.500><c> find,</c><00:03:04.860><c> if</c><00:03:04.939><c> you</c><00:03:05.199><c> think</c><00:03:05.439><c> you're</c><00:03:05.659><c> following</c><00:03:06.039><c> the</c><00:03:06.280><c> principles</c><00:03:06.620><c> of</c><00:03:06.879><c> Christ</c>

00:03:07.379 --> 00:03:11.360
and<00:03:08.039><c> you</c><00:03:08.219><c> don't</c><00:03:08.460><c> find</c><00:03:08.680><c> that</c><00:03:08.860><c> difficult,</c><00:03:09.400><c> you're</c><00:03:09.939><c> not</c><00:03:10.479><c> following</c><00:03:10.900><c> them.</c>

00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:13.280
That<00:03:11.840><c> is</c><00:03:12.319><c> clearly</c><00:03:12.740><c> obvious.</c>

00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:16.159
You<00:03:13.840><c> know,</c><00:03:14.199><c> at</c><00:03:14.199><c> the</c><00:03:14.360><c> end</c><00:03:14.620><c> of</c><00:03:14.800><c> these</c><00:03:15.060><c> Beatitudes,</c>

00:03:16.379 --> 00:03:21.139
Blessed<00:03:16.860><c> are</c><00:03:17.340><c> ye</c><00:03:17.620><c> when</c><00:03:17.879><c> men</c><00:03:18.319><c> shall</c><00:03:18.620><c> revile</c><00:03:19.199><c> and</c><00:03:19.580><c> persecute</c><00:03:20.219><c> you.</c>

00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:23.699
They<00:03:21.500><c> could</c><00:03:21.719><c> have</c><00:03:21.879><c> easily</c><00:03:22.280><c> escaped</c><00:03:22.740><c> that.</c>

00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:26.599
They<00:03:24.500><c> could</c><00:03:24.680><c> have</c><00:03:24.840><c> hid</c><00:03:24.919><c> their</c><00:03:25.199><c> light</c><00:03:25.340><c> under</c><00:03:25.599><c> a</c><00:03:25.759><c> bushel.</c>

00:03:26.699 --> 00:03:29.120
As<00:03:26.960><c> later</c><00:03:27.259><c> on</c><00:03:27.479><c> he</c><00:03:27.680><c> points</c><00:03:27.979><c> out,</c><00:03:28.259><c> that</c><00:03:28.439><c> would</c><00:03:28.580><c> have</c><00:03:28.699><c> been</c><00:03:28.840><c> easy.</c>

00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:31.000
They<00:03:29.419><c> could</c><00:03:29.580><c> have</c><00:03:29.740><c> had</c><00:03:29.979><c> a</c><00:03:30.180><c> light.</c>

00:03:31.340 --> 00:03:32.840
They<00:03:31.560><c> could</c><00:03:31.740><c> have</c><00:03:31.879><c> hid</c><00:03:32.000><c> it</c><00:03:32.120><c> under</c><00:03:32.319><c> a</c><00:03:32.539><c> bushel.</c>

00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:35.340
It<00:03:33.159><c> could</c><00:03:33.319><c> have</c><00:03:33.500><c> showed</c><00:03:33.719><c> light</c><00:03:34.020><c> to</c><00:03:34.259><c> them</c><00:03:34.520><c> and</c><00:03:34.659><c> them</c><00:03:34.860><c> only.</c>

00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:37.939
But<00:03:35.780><c> they</c><00:03:36.000><c> were</c><00:03:36.120><c> to</c><00:03:36.240><c> be</c><00:03:36.400><c> a</c><00:03:36.639><c> city</c><00:03:36.979><c> set</c><00:03:37.219><c> on</c><00:03:37.500><c> a</c><00:03:37.639><c> hill.</c>

00:03:38.139 --> 00:03:39.740
That's<00:03:38.599><c> not</c><00:03:38.819><c> easy.</c>

00:03:39.860 --> 00:03:42.539
And<00:03:40.460><c> so</c><00:03:40.659><c> you</c><00:03:40.780><c> find,</c><00:03:41.319><c> brothers</c><00:03:41.479><c> and</c><00:03:41.639><c> sisters,</c><00:03:42.020><c> in</c><00:03:42.120><c> practicing</c>

00:03:42.539 --> 00:03:43.500
these<00:03:42.979><c> things,</c>

00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.740
if<00:03:43.879><c> we</c><00:03:44.159><c> think</c><00:03:44.500><c> we're</c><00:03:44.699><c> following</c><00:03:45.120><c> Christ</c><00:03:45.680><c> and</c><00:03:46.039><c> your</c><00:03:46.280><c> life</c><00:03:46.560><c> is</c>

00:03:46.740 --> 00:03:47.699
very<00:03:47.139><c> comfortable,</c>

00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:50.620
then<00:03:48.240><c> you</c><00:03:48.400><c> are</c><00:03:48.900><c> not</c><00:03:49.139><c> heading</c><00:03:49.439><c> towards</c><00:03:49.819><c> the</c><00:03:49.939><c> Kingdom</c><00:03:50.240><c> of</c><00:03:50.360><c> God.</c>

00:03:50.740 --> 00:03:52.840
There's<00:03:50.879><c> no</c><00:03:51.180><c> question</c><00:03:51.479><c> that</c><00:03:51.759><c> whatever.</c>

00:03:53.259 --> 00:03:56.379
The<00:03:53.419><c> life</c><00:03:53.659><c> of</c><00:03:53.979><c> discipleship</c><00:03:54.539><c> is</c><00:03:54.979><c> not</c><00:03:55.219><c> easy,</c><00:03:55.699><c> brothers</c><00:03:55.840><c> and</c><00:03:56.080><c> sisters.</c>

00:03:56.699 --> 00:03:58.240
And<00:03:56.900><c> let's</c><00:03:57.120><c> never</c><00:03:57.460><c> forget</c><00:03:57.800><c> that.</c>

00:03:58.699 --> 00:04:01.500
So<00:03:58.840><c> when</c><00:03:58.960><c> we</c><00:03:59.159><c> start</c><00:03:59.460><c> making</c><00:04:00.080><c> these</c><00:04:00.580><c> wonderful</c><00:04:01.199><c> expressions,</c>

00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:05.580
which<00:04:02.240><c> seem</c><00:04:02.599><c> on</c><00:04:02.879><c> the</c><00:04:03.020><c> surface</c><00:04:03.500><c> to</c><00:04:04.240><c> be</c><00:04:04.580><c> ever</c><00:04:04.900><c> so</c><00:04:05.159><c> right,</c>

00:04:05.900 --> 00:04:08.180
but<00:04:06.080><c> they're</c><00:04:06.379><c> ever</c><00:04:06.740><c> so</c><00:04:07.219><c> easy</c><00:04:07.659><c> to</c><00:04:07.939><c> do,</c>

00:04:08.180 --> 00:04:10.599
they're<00:04:08.639><c> the</c><00:04:08.819><c> wrong</c><00:04:09.099><c> thing.</c>

00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:13.419
The<00:04:11.159><c> right</c><00:04:11.439><c> way,</c><00:04:11.620><c> brothers</c><00:04:11.919><c> and</c><00:04:12.180><c> sisters,</c><00:04:12.599><c> is</c><00:04:12.680><c> God's</c><00:04:13.120><c> way</c>

00:04:13.419 --> 00:04:15.539
and<00:04:14.099><c> the</c><00:04:14.259><c> Lord</c><00:04:14.479><c> Jesus</c><00:04:14.919><c> Christ's</c><00:04:15.340><c> way.</c>

00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:17.879
And<00:04:15.759><c> he</c><00:04:15.919><c> never</c><00:04:16.240><c> found</c><00:04:16.480><c> anything</c><00:04:16.860><c> easy.</c>

00:04:18.420 --> 00:04:21.300
He<00:04:18.560><c> had</c><00:04:18.699><c> to</c><00:04:18.759><c> go</c><00:04:18.959><c> to</c><00:04:19.139><c> death</c><00:04:19.439><c> in</c><00:04:19.579><c> order</c><00:04:20.220><c> to</c><00:04:20.560><c> demonstrate</c><00:04:21.040><c> his</c>

Father's<00:04:21.860><c> righteousness.</c>

00:04:22.300 --> 00:04:23.800
That<00:04:22.439><c> was</c><00:04:22.660><c> not</c><00:04:22.899><c> easy.</c>

00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:25.720
And<00:04:24.459><c> so</c><00:04:24.620><c> he</c><00:04:24.680><c> says</c><00:04:24.959><c> in</c><00:04:25.120><c> verse</c><00:04:25.360><c> 7,</c>

00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:31.459
Now<00:04:29.639><c> we</c><00:04:29.759><c> haven't</c><00:04:30.019><c> found</c><00:04:30.360><c> one</c><00:04:30.620><c> of</c><00:04:30.660><c> these</c><00:04:30.959><c> Beatitudes</c>

00:04:31.459 --> 00:04:35.019

00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:37.139

00:04:37.139 --> 00:04:39.079
because<00:04:37.220><c> I</c><00:04:37.360><c> understand</c><00:04:37.740><c> we</c><00:04:37.920><c> may</c><00:04:38.240><c> or</c><00:04:38.240><c> may</c><00:04:38.459><c> not</c><00:04:38.560><c> have</c><00:04:38.699><c> been</c><00:04:38.819><c> over</c><00:04:38.980><c> this.</c>

00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:40.519
I<00:04:39.199><c> can't</c><00:04:39.519><c> remember.</c>

00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:43.120
But<00:04:41.680><c> this</c><00:04:42.000><c> we</c><00:04:42.120><c> know,</c><00:04:42.540><c> brothers</c><00:04:42.660><c> and</c><00:04:42.740><c> sisters,</c>

00:04:43.259 --> 00:04:45.819

00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:53.579
is<00:04:49.860><c> taken</c><00:04:50.519><c> from</c><00:04:51.100><c> the</c><00:04:51.300><c> comment</c><00:04:51.660><c> in</c><00:04:52.100><c> Psalm</c><00:04:52.379><c> 18.</c>

00:04:53.980 --> 00:04:56.500
To<00:04:54.100><c> the</c><00:04:54.399><c> merciful,</c><00:04:54.939><c> thou</c><00:04:55.060><c> wilt</c><00:04:55.279><c> show</c><00:04:55.560><c> thyself</c><00:04:56.100><c> merciful,</c>

00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:57.759
said<00:04:56.800><c> David.</c>

00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:00.279
And<00:04:58.560><c> what</c><00:04:58.860><c> significance</c><00:04:59.519><c> is</c><00:04:59.720><c> in</c><00:04:59.920><c> that?</c>

00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:02.680
You<00:05:00.759><c> know,</c><00:05:00.759><c> you</c><00:05:00.860><c> look</c><00:05:00.980><c> at</c><00:05:01.100><c> that</c><00:05:01.379><c> Psalm</c><00:05:01.600><c> and</c><00:05:01.720><c> you</c><00:05:01.759><c> look</c><00:05:01.899><c> at</c><00:05:01.980><c> that</c><00:05:02.139><c> expression.</c>

00:05:03.060 --> 00:05:05.439
To<00:05:03.199><c> the</c><00:05:03.480><c> merciful,</c><00:05:04.000><c> thou</c><00:05:04.060><c> wilt</c><00:05:04.259><c> show</c><00:05:04.540><c> thyself</c><00:05:05.040><c> merciful.</c>

00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:09.000
So<00:05:05.699><c> that's</c><00:05:06.120><c> obviously</c><00:05:06.699><c> the</c><00:05:07.000><c> comment</c><00:05:07.300><c> that</c><00:05:07.540><c> David,</c><00:05:08.100><c> that</c><00:05:08.480><c> rather</c><00:05:08.560><c> the</c><00:05:08.800><c> Lord,</c>

00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:14.060
But<00:05:11.899><c> you</c><00:05:11.939><c> know,</c><00:05:12.079><c> when</c><00:05:12.240><c> we</c><00:05:12.439><c> rivet</c><00:05:12.839><c> our</c><00:05:13.040><c> eyes</c><00:05:13.259><c> on</c><00:05:13.439><c> that</c><00:05:13.699><c> verse</c><00:05:13.899><c> in</c>

00:05:17.339 --> 00:05:18.540
And<00:05:17.480><c> we're</c><00:05:17.600><c> looking</c><00:05:17.759><c> at</c><00:05:17.959><c> one</c><00:05:18.199><c> verse.</c>

00:05:18.899 --> 00:05:20.540
Let<00:05:19.040><c> your</c><00:05:19.259><c> eyes</c><00:05:19.560><c> rove</c><00:05:19.819><c> over</c><00:05:20.019><c> that</c><00:05:20.300><c> Psalm.</c>

And<00:05:22.379><c> it</c><00:05:22.519><c> says,</c><00:05:23.120><c> it's</c><00:05:23.279><c> a</c><00:05:23.519><c> Psalm</c><00:05:23.819><c> that</c><00:05:24.100><c> David</c><00:05:24.500><c> wrote</c>

blessed<00:05:36.220><c> God</c><00:05:36.579><c> will</c><00:05:36.819><c> show</c><00:05:37.040><c> himself</c><00:05:37.519><c> merciful</c><00:05:37.959><c> to</c><00:05:38.160><c> those</c><00:05:38.459><c> who</c>

00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:53.639
What<00:05:52.180><c> a</c><00:05:52.379><c> marvelous</c><00:05:52.740><c> base,</c><00:05:53.139><c> therefore,</c>

My<00:05:57.800><c> word</c><00:05:57.980><c> he</c><00:05:58.139><c> did.</c>

00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:08.800
And<00:06:06.399><c> he</c><00:06:06.500><c> said</c><00:06:06.680><c> in</c><00:06:06.800><c> that</c><00:06:06.959><c> 51st</c><00:06:07.720><c> Psalm,</c><00:06:07.920><c> did</c><00:06:08.079><c> he</c><00:06:08.240><c> not,</c>

He<00:06:12.399><c> learned</c><00:06:12.759><c> the</c><00:06:12.980><c> hard</c><00:06:13.199><c> way</c><00:06:13.360><c> himself,</c>

00:08:43.460 --> 00:08:44.779
You<00:08:43.460><c> know,</c><00:08:43.519><c> you</c><00:08:43.639><c> think</c><00:08:43.779><c> about</c><00:08:43.960><c> all</c><00:08:44.139><c> your</c><00:08:44.419><c> failings.</c>

00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:47.460
You<00:08:44.899><c> think,</c><00:08:45.200><c> well,</c><00:08:46.100><c> the</c><00:08:46.200><c> Word</c><00:08:46.419><c> of</c><00:08:46.580><c> God</c><00:08:46.720><c> commands</c><00:08:47.100><c> you</c><00:08:47.259><c> to</c><00:08:47.379><c> do</c>

00:08:48.419 --> 00:08:49.580
So<00:08:48.539><c> you</c><00:08:48.700><c> feel</c><00:08:48.919><c> wretched</c><00:08:49.200><c> about</c><00:08:49.419><c> it.</c>

00:08:49.620 --> 00:08:51.519

00:08:56.779 --> 00:08:57.200
you<00:08:56.919><c> do.</c>

00:08:57.419 --> 00:08:59.539
And<00:08:57.539><c> so</c><00:08:57.620><c> you</c><00:08:57.759><c> go</c><00:08:57.940><c> through</c><00:08:58.159><c> your</c><00:08:58.360><c> life</c><00:08:58.539><c> like</c><00:08:58.879><c> that</c><00:08:59.019><c> and</c><00:08:59.159><c> you</c>

feel<00:08:59.759><c> wretched.</c>

00:09:00.500 --> 00:09:01.700
But<00:09:00.580><c> you</c><00:09:00.659><c> know,</c><00:09:00.940><c> brothers</c><00:09:01.120><c> and</c><00:09:01.340><c> sisters,</c>

00:09:07.059 --> 00:09:08.879
They're<00:09:07.240><c> only</c><00:09:07.500><c> stepping</c><00:09:07.879><c> stones.</c>

00:09:09.379 --> 00:09:11.840
Because<00:09:09.879><c> if</c><00:09:10.080><c> we're</c><00:09:10.299><c> told</c><00:09:10.519><c> to</c><00:09:10.700><c> do</c><00:09:10.799><c> this</c><00:09:11.039><c> or</c><00:09:11.240><c> to</c><00:09:11.379><c> do</c><00:09:11.539><c> that,</c>

00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:14.860
it's<00:09:12.340><c> stepping</c><00:09:12.480><c> stones</c><00:09:12.860><c> to</c><00:09:13.039><c> the</c><00:09:13.159><c> top</c><00:09:13.419><c> one</c><00:09:13.600><c> which</c><00:09:13.779><c> says,</c>

00:09:14.899 --> 00:09:19.480
Be<00:09:15.080><c> ye</c><00:09:15.700><c> holy</c><00:09:16.200><c> as</c><00:09:17.179><c> I</c><00:09:18.000><c> am</c><00:09:18.559><c> holy.</c>

00:09:20.659 --> 00:09:22.159
That's<00:09:20.919><c> the</c><00:09:21.039><c> top</c><00:09:21.340><c> step.</c>

00:09:22.899 --> 00:09:24.299
So<00:09:23.000><c> if</c><00:09:23.120><c> we're</c><00:09:23.220><c> making</c><00:09:23.500><c> our</c><00:09:23.679><c> way</c><00:09:23.799><c> to</c><00:09:23.960><c> God,</c>

00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:36.159
Now<00:09:33.639><c> no</c><00:09:33.799><c> man</c><00:09:34.139><c> has</c><00:09:34.460><c> seen</c><00:09:34.759><c> God</c><00:09:34.960><c> or</c><00:09:35.179><c> can</c><00:09:35.559><c> see</c><00:09:35.820><c> God,</c>

00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:40.820
What<00:09:38.440><c> will</c><00:09:38.700><c> happen</c><00:09:38.899><c> beyond</c><00:09:39.200><c> the</c><00:09:39.360><c> millennium</c><00:09:39.799><c> is</c><00:09:40.019><c> anyone's</c><00:09:40.639><c> guess.</c>

00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:42.799
No<00:09:41.240><c> one</c><00:09:41.600><c> has</c><00:09:41.779><c> been</c><00:09:42.000><c> told</c><00:09:42.240><c> about</c><00:09:42.500><c> that.</c>

It's<00:11:25.799><c> wonderful.</c>

00:11:26.259 --> 00:11:27.779
It's<00:11:26.740><c> true.</c>

00:11:28.659 --> 00:11:29.980
But<00:11:28.799><c> John</c><00:11:29.000><c> says,</c>

Never<00:26:58.119><c> mind,</c><00:26:58.500><c> said</c><00:26:58.500><c> the</c><00:26:58.640><c> Lord</c><00:26:58.839><c> Jesus</c><00:26:59.200><c> Christ,</c><00:26:59.700><c> never</c><00:26:59.980><c> mind.</c>

Rejoice,<00:27:01.759><c> like</c><00:27:02.000><c> the</c><00:27:02.299><c> prophets</c><00:27:02.519><c> did.</c>

00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:05.599
And<00:27:03.380><c> he</c><00:27:03.480><c> had</c><00:27:03.680><c> in</c><00:27:03.859><c> mind</c><00:27:04.279><c> that</c><00:27:04.720><c> prophecy</c><00:27:05.180><c> there.</c>

00:27:06.059 --> 00:27:07.859
There's<00:27:06.279><c> no</c><00:27:06.500><c> doubt</c><00:27:06.599><c> about</c><00:27:06.900><c> that.</c>

00:27:09.579 --> 00:27:13.200
Now,<00:27:09.900><c> brethren</c><00:27:10.079><c> and</c><00:27:10.240><c> sisters,</c><00:27:10.420><c> let's</c><00:27:10.660><c> come</c><00:27:10.940><c> back</c><00:27:11.279><c> to</c><00:27:11.500><c> that</c><00:27:11.660><c> fifth</c><00:27:11.839><c> chapter</c><00:27:12.140><c> of</c><00:27:12.259><c> Matthew,</c>

Straight<00:27:21.720><c> away,</c><00:27:22.599><c> he</c><00:27:22.619><c> calls</c><00:27:22.920><c> all</c><00:27:23.259><c> those</c><00:27:23.660><c> who</c><00:27:23.920><c> follow</c><00:27:24.240><c> in</c><00:27:24.940><c> the</c>

00:27:26.140 --> 00:27:30.819
and<00:27:26.339><c> of</c><00:27:26.480><c> the</c><00:27:26.660><c> prophets,</c><00:27:28.059><c> he</c><00:27:28.319><c> likens</c><00:27:28.660><c> them,</c><00:27:28.900><c> in</c><00:27:29.059><c> verse</c><00:27:29.299><c> 13,</c><00:27:30.640><c> to</c>

00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:37.240
Now,<00:27:33.740><c> I</c><00:27:34.000><c> believe</c><00:27:34.420><c> that</c><00:27:34.660><c> is</c><00:27:34.980><c> very,</c><00:27:35.579><c> very</c><00:27:36.240><c> significant.</c>

00:27:37.779 --> 00:27:41.319
Why<00:27:38.380><c> would</c><00:27:38.980><c> our</c><00:27:39.259><c> Lord,</c><00:27:39.640><c> in</c><00:27:39.839><c> the</c><00:27:40.299><c> beginning,</c><00:27:40.700><c> you</c><00:27:40.779><c> might</c><00:27:41.059><c> say,</c>

00:27:41.339 --> 00:27:42.180
of<00:27:41.460><c> that</c><00:27:41.759><c> discourse,</c>

00:27:42.180 --> 00:27:45.019
when<00:27:42.319><c> he's</c><00:27:42.480><c> now</c><00:27:42.779><c> going</c><00:27:43.019><c> to</c><00:27:43.220><c> speak</c><00:27:43.380><c> about</c><00:27:43.640><c> very</c><00:27:44.059><c> vital</c><00:27:44.460><c> issues</c>

00:27:45.019 --> 00:27:46.720
arising<00:27:45.619><c> out</c><00:27:45.799><c> of</c><00:27:45.859><c> those</c><00:27:46.039><c> earlier</c><00:27:46.339><c> ones,</c>

00:27:47.220 --> 00:27:52.720
why<00:27:47.900><c> would</c><00:27:48.319><c> he</c><00:27:48.680><c> choose</c><00:27:49.279><c> to</c><00:27:49.759><c> refer</c><00:27:50.119><c> to</c><00:27:50.279><c> the</c><00:27:50.460><c> symbol</c><00:27:50.940><c> of</c><00:27:51.859><c> salt?</c>

00:27:53.720 --> 00:27:55.440
Well,<00:27:53.920><c> you</c><00:27:54.059><c> think</c><00:27:54.259><c> about</c><00:27:54.480><c> it.</c>

00:27:55.859 --> 00:27:58.000
What<00:27:56.460><c> is</c><00:27:57.059><c> salt?</c>

00:27:58.960 --> 00:28:00.559
Well,<00:27:59.380><c> it</c><00:27:59.500><c> is,</c><00:27:59.980><c> brethren</c><00:28:00.119><c> and</c><00:28:00.319><c> sisters.</c>

00:28:00.660 --> 00:28:05.000
It<00:28:00.880><c> must</c><00:28:01.220><c> be</c><00:28:01.740><c> the</c><00:28:02.480><c> absolute</c><00:28:03.140><c> basic</c><00:28:04.000><c> commodity</c><00:28:04.460><c> for</c><00:28:04.759><c> cooking.</c>

00:28:05.099 --> 00:28:06.859
It'd<00:28:05.579><c> have</c><00:28:05.759><c> to</c><00:28:06.019><c> be,</c><00:28:06.380><c> wouldn't</c><00:28:06.539><c> it?</c>

00:28:06.859 --> 00:28:12.819
Of<00:28:07.319><c> all</c><00:28:07.660><c> the</c><00:28:07.900><c> condiments,</c><00:28:08.500><c> salt</c><00:28:08.920><c> is</c><00:28:09.240><c> the</c><00:28:09.599><c> absolute</c><00:28:10.619><c> basic</c><00:28:11.920><c> condiment</c><00:28:12.440><c> as</c>

00:28:12.819 --> 00:28:13.980
far<00:28:13.039><c> as</c><00:28:13.119><c> cooking</c><00:28:13.339><c> is</c><00:28:13.579><c> concerned.</c>

00:28:14.180 --> 00:28:15.420
What<00:28:14.359><c> does</c><00:28:14.660><c> salt</c><00:28:15.019><c> do?</c>

00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:17.539
It's<00:28:16.099><c> a</c><00:28:16.220><c> white</c><00:28:16.460><c> powder.</c>

00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:22.359
A<00:28:18.539><c> pinch</c><00:28:18.680><c> of</c><00:28:18.900><c> salt</c><00:28:19.480><c> put</c><00:28:19.839><c> into</c><00:28:20.039><c> whatever</c><00:28:20.480><c> the</c><00:28:21.059><c> woman</c><00:28:21.279><c> is</c><00:28:21.539><c> cooking.</c>

00:28:22.380 --> 00:28:23.920
What<00:28:22.579><c> happens</c><00:28:22.720><c> to</c><00:28:22.880><c> the</c><00:28:23.099><c> salt?</c>

00:28:24.900 --> 00:28:27.480
It<00:28:25.380><c> dissolves</c><00:28:25.980><c> immediately,</c><00:28:26.559><c> very</c><00:28:27.099><c> quickly.</c>

00:28:27.980 --> 00:28:29.539
It's<00:28:28.160><c> gone</c><00:28:28.480><c> out</c><00:28:28.740><c> of</c><00:28:28.880><c> sight</c><00:28:29.039><c> and</c><00:28:29.200><c> the</c><00:28:29.359><c> mind.</c>

00:28:29.900 --> 00:28:31.160
It<00:28:30.279><c> disappears</c><00:28:30.640><c> into</c><00:28:30.839><c> the</c><00:28:31.019><c> water.</c>

00:28:31.200 --> 00:28:32.039
You<00:28:31.259><c> don't</c><00:28:31.460><c> see</c><00:28:31.599><c> it</c><00:28:31.759><c> anymore.</c>

00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:34.740
But<00:28:32.720><c> it</c><00:28:33.220><c> permeates</c><00:28:33.779><c> everything.</c>

00:28:35.579 --> 00:28:40.039
It<00:28:36.220><c> gives</c><00:28:36.519><c> that</c><00:28:36.900><c> tang,</c><00:28:37.940><c> that</c><00:28:38.339><c> tastefulness</c><00:28:38.759><c> to</c><00:28:39.220><c> everything.</c>

00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:43.779
It<00:28:40.160><c> mixes</c><00:28:40.500><c> with</c><00:28:40.680><c> everything,</c><00:28:40.960><c> but</c><00:28:41.099><c> you</c><00:28:41.259><c> can't</c><00:28:41.660><c> see</c><00:28:41.940><c> it.</c>

00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:47.680
Salt,<00:28:44.140><c> brothers</c><00:28:44.460><c> and</c><00:28:44.720><c> sisters,</c><00:28:45.259><c> is</c><00:28:45.420><c> a</c><00:28:45.700><c> preeminent</c><00:28:47.200><c> symbol</c>

for<00:28:48.799><c> motive.</c>

00:28:49.619 --> 00:28:51.119
That's<00:28:49.799><c> what</c><00:28:49.980><c> it</c><00:28:50.019><c> is.</c>

00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:56.559
And<00:28:51.500><c> the</c><00:28:51.619><c> Lord</c><00:28:51.819><c> is</c><00:28:52.019><c> going</c><00:28:52.160><c> to</c><00:28:52.319><c> talk</c><00:28:52.500><c> about</c><00:28:52.900><c> motive</c><00:28:53.480><c> all</c><00:28:53.839><c> the</c><00:28:54.000><c> way</c><00:28:54.240><c> through</c><00:28:54.960><c> Matthew</c><00:28:55.839><c> 5,</c>

00:28:56.559 --> 00:28:57.619
6<00:28:56.980><c> and</c><00:28:57.220><c> 7.</c>

00:28:57.720 --> 00:29:00.059
He's<00:28:57.859><c> going</c><00:28:58.019><c> to</c><00:28:58.140><c> talk</c><00:28:58.339><c> about</c><00:28:58.680><c> motive.</c>

00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:02.380
Ye<00:29:00.759><c> are</c><00:29:01.200><c> the</c><00:29:01.519><c> salt</c><00:29:01.779><c> of</c><00:29:01.960><c> the</c><00:29:02.140><c> earth.</c>

00:29:02.380 --> 00:29:03.799
In<00:29:03.019><c> goes</c><00:29:03.359><c> the</c><00:29:03.619><c> salt.</c>

00:29:04.220 --> 00:29:07.420
It<00:29:04.440><c> disappears</c><00:29:04.819><c> out</c><00:29:05.059><c> of</c><00:29:05.299><c> sight,</c><00:29:05.799><c> but</c><00:29:05.900><c> it's</c><00:29:06.180><c> in</c><00:29:06.460><c> everything.</c>

00:29:07.660 --> 00:29:09.440
It<00:29:07.940><c> permeates</c><00:29:08.460><c> the</c><00:29:08.720><c> lot.</c>

00:29:09.720 --> 00:29:14.680
It's<00:29:09.859><c> not</c><00:29:10.140><c> one</c><00:29:10.420><c> of</c><00:29:10.519><c> those</c><00:29:10.839><c> things</c><00:29:11.079><c> you</c><00:29:11.299><c> see</c><00:29:12.059><c> once</c><00:29:12.440><c> it</c><00:29:13.319><c> dissipates</c><00:29:14.079><c> in</c><00:29:14.460><c> liquid.</c>

00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:15.460
It's<00:29:14.940><c> gone.</c>

00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:17.740
But<00:29:16.200><c> it's</c><00:29:16.599><c> there.</c>

00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:20.740
And<00:29:18.160><c> it's</c><00:29:18.420><c> the</c><00:29:18.599><c> substratum</c><00:29:19.279><c> of</c><00:29:19.619><c> everything</c><00:29:19.960><c> that's</c><00:29:20.180><c> being</c><00:29:20.519><c> cooked.</c>

00:29:20.980 --> 00:29:22.519
It<00:29:21.019><c> is</c><00:29:21.240><c> the</c><00:29:21.579><c> basic</c><00:29:22.119><c> condiment.</c>

00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:24.799
So<00:29:22.920><c> it</c><00:29:23.059><c> speaks</c><00:29:23.359><c> of</c><00:29:23.559><c> the</c><00:29:24.000><c> hidden</c><00:29:24.400><c> motive.</c>

00:29:24.920 --> 00:29:27.619
And<00:29:25.059><c> that's</c><00:29:25.440><c> exactly</c><00:29:26.000><c> what</c><00:29:26.220><c> he's</c><00:29:26.359><c> going</c><00:29:26.519><c> to</c><00:29:26.640><c> talk</c><00:29:26.799><c> about.</c>

00:29:28.359 --> 00:29:32.839
It's<00:29:29.019><c> also,</c><00:29:29.359><c> brothers</c><00:29:29.700><c> and</c><00:29:29.759><c> sisters,</c><00:29:30.700><c> a</c><00:29:30.779><c> symbol</c><00:29:31.039><c> of</c><00:29:31.339><c> consistency,</c><00:29:32.519><c> as</c><00:29:32.640><c> we</c>

00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:42.180
It<00:29:38.119><c> is</c><00:29:38.259><c> one</c><00:29:38.420><c> of</c><00:29:38.480><c> the</c><00:29:38.599><c> most</c><00:29:38.880><c> consistent</c><00:29:39.519><c> chemicals</c><00:29:39.980><c> known</c><00:29:40.799><c> to</c><00:29:40.960><c> man.</c>

00:29:43.059 --> 00:29:47.779
And<00:29:43.259><c> it's</c><00:29:43.559><c> a</c><00:29:43.640><c> symbol,</c><00:29:44.099><c> as</c><00:29:44.539><c> we</c><00:29:44.640><c> will</c><00:29:44.819><c> see</c><00:29:44.960><c> later</c><00:29:45.279><c> on,</c><00:29:45.779><c> of</c><00:29:46.460><c> incorruption.</c>

00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:51.920
It<00:29:49.240><c> is,</c><00:29:49.619><c> therefore,</c><00:29:49.940><c> when</c><00:29:50.019><c> you</c><00:29:50.140><c> put</c><00:29:50.339><c> those</c><00:29:50.640><c> things</c><00:29:50.839><c> together,</c>

00:29:51.940 --> 00:29:56.319
a<00:29:52.220><c> wonderful</c><00:29:52.900><c> symbol</c><00:29:53.400><c> of</c><00:29:53.799><c> a</c><00:29:54.119><c> good</c><00:29:54.440><c> and</c><00:29:54.660><c> a</c><00:29:55.000><c> pure</c><00:29:55.259><c> motive.</c>

00:29:57.119 --> 00:30:00.779
A<00:29:57.400><c> pure</c><00:29:57.680><c> motive,</c><00:29:58.180><c> brothers</c><00:29:58.400><c> and</c><00:29:58.400><c> sisters,</c><00:29:59.339><c> can't</c><00:29:59.660><c> always</c><00:30:00.059><c> be</c><00:30:00.400><c> seen.</c>

00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:02.000
It's<00:30:01.059><c> hidden.</c>

00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:05.440
But<00:30:02.240><c> it</c><00:30:02.559><c> permeates</c><00:30:03.200><c> the</c><00:30:03.460><c> whole</c><00:30:03.880><c> doings</c><00:30:04.240><c> of</c><00:30:04.339><c> a</c><00:30:04.480><c> person.</c>

00:30:05.660 --> 00:30:08.420

00:30:08.500 --> 00:30:15.019
And<00:30:08.920><c> it</c><00:30:09.019><c> is</c><00:30:09.740><c> always</c><00:30:10.779><c> directed</c><00:30:11.359><c> towards</c><00:30:12.720><c> preserving</c><00:30:13.759><c> truth,</c>

preserving<00:30:15.759><c> something.</c>

00:30:16.279 --> 00:30:18.519
That's<00:30:17.000><c> what</c><00:30:17.180><c> it</c><00:30:17.339><c> is.</c>

00:30:18.940 --> 00:30:22.039
Now,<00:30:19.019><c> did</c><00:30:19.140><c> you</c><00:30:19.299><c> know</c><00:30:19.680><c> that</c><00:30:19.980><c> salt</c><00:30:20.259><c> was</c><00:30:20.539><c> added</c><00:30:20.900><c> to</c><00:30:21.119><c> all</c><00:30:21.319><c> the</c><00:30:21.599><c> sacrifices?</c>

00:30:22.180 --> 00:30:25.440
Jesus<00:30:22.500><c> made</c><00:30:22.759><c> reference</c><00:30:23.039><c> to</c><00:30:23.200><c> that</c><00:30:23.319><c> in</c><00:30:23.500><c> Mark</c><00:30:23.799><c> chapter</c><00:30:24.099><c> 9.</c>

00:30:25.819 --> 00:30:28.259
Ye<00:30:25.980><c> are</c><00:30:26.240><c> the</c><00:30:26.500><c> salt</c><00:30:26.700><c> of</c><00:30:26.880><c> the</c><00:30:27.019><c> earth,</c><00:30:27.200><c> he</c><00:30:27.440><c> said.</c>

00:30:29.559 --> 00:30:35.000
Now,<00:30:29.660><c> he</c><00:30:29.779><c> made</c><00:30:29.980><c> reference</c><00:30:30.339><c> to</c><00:30:30.559><c> this</c><00:30:31.200><c> in</c><00:30:32.819><c> Mark</c><00:30:33.160><c> chapter</c><00:30:33.440><c> 9</c><00:30:34.299><c> and</c>

00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:35.759
verse<00:30:35.259><c> 49.</c>

00:30:35.859 --> 00:30:41.920
He<00:30:35.980><c> said,</c><00:30:37.200><c> For</c><00:30:37.359><c> everyone</c><00:30:37.839><c> shall</c><00:30:38.079><c> be</c><00:30:38.420><c> salted</c><00:30:38.740><c> with</c><00:30:39.099><c> fire,</c><00:30:40.660><c> and</c>

every<00:30:42.240><c> sacrifice</c><00:30:43.059><c> shall</c><00:30:43.380><c> be</c><00:30:43.759><c> salted</c><00:30:44.079><c> with</c><00:30:44.440><c> salt.</c>

00:30:46.359 --> 00:30:49.500
That's<00:30:46.940><c> a</c><00:30:47.079><c> quaint</c><00:30:47.319><c> expression,</c><00:30:48.099><c> brothers</c><00:30:48.220><c> and</c><00:30:48.440><c> sisters.</c>

00:30:49.740 --> 00:30:52.539
But<00:30:49.960><c> wait,</c><00:30:50.940><c> what</c><00:30:51.180><c> does</c><00:30:51.420><c> it</c><00:30:51.700><c> follow?</c>

00:30:53.099 --> 00:30:58.440
Well,<00:30:53.279><c> it</c><00:30:53.339><c> follows</c><00:30:53.680><c> verse</c><00:30:53.980><c> 48,</c><00:30:55.599><c> where</c><00:30:55.680><c> their</c><00:30:56.019><c> worm</c><00:30:56.579><c> dieth</c><00:30:57.099><c> not,</c><00:30:58.160><c> and</c>

the<00:30:58.779><c> fire</c><00:30:59.140><c> is</c><00:30:59.599><c> not</c><00:30:59.960><c> quenched.</c>

00:31:00.259 --> 00:31:01.619
You<00:31:00.420><c> know</c><00:31:00.480><c> where</c><00:31:00.579><c> that's</c><00:31:00.799><c> taken</c><00:31:01.000><c> from,</c><00:31:01.420><c> don't</c><00:31:01.539><c> you?</c>

00:31:01.700 --> 00:31:03.599
That's<00:31:02.140><c> taken</c><00:31:02.420><c> from</c><00:31:02.819><c> where?</c>

00:31:03.799 --> 00:31:06.460
Isaiah<00:31:04.380><c> 66.</c>

00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:08.319
Let's<00:31:06.839><c> have</c><00:31:06.960><c> a</c><00:31:07.039><c> look</c><00:31:07.099><c> at</c><00:31:07.180><c> that.</c>

00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:16.359
So,<00:31:11.960><c> everyone</c><00:31:12.299><c> is</c><00:31:12.680><c> salted</c><00:31:12.859><c> with</c><00:31:13.200><c> fire,</c><00:31:15.000><c> and</c><00:31:15.200><c> every</c><00:31:15.480><c> sacrifice</c>

00:31:16.359 --> 00:31:19.240

00:31:19.920 --> 00:31:23.759
And<00:31:19.980><c> then</c><00:31:20.200><c> he</c><00:31:20.220><c> says,</c><00:31:20.920><c> or</c><00:31:21.059><c> rather,</c><00:31:21.500><c> he</c><00:31:21.619><c> just</c><00:31:22.579><c> had</c><00:31:22.740><c> quoted</c><00:31:23.359><c> the</c>

00:31:34.980 --> 00:31:37.740
For<00:31:35.339><c> their</c><00:31:35.619><c> worm</c><00:31:35.940><c> shall</c><00:31:36.220><c> not</c><00:31:36.480><c> die,</c><00:31:36.859><c> neither</c><00:31:37.079><c> shall</c><00:31:37.299><c> the</c><00:31:37.539><c> fire</c>

all<00:31:40.299><c> flesh.</c>

00:31:41.819 --> 00:31:44.640
Now,<00:31:42.079><c> the</c><00:31:42.140><c> Lord</c><00:31:42.359><c> had</c><00:31:42.519><c> just</c><00:31:42.759><c> finished</c><00:31:43.039><c> dealing</c><00:31:43.220><c> with</c><00:31:43.440><c> Isaiah</c><00:31:43.880><c> 66.</c>

00:31:44.660 --> 00:31:49.460
Now,<00:31:44.819><c> he</c><00:31:44.839><c> said,</c><00:31:45.079><c> Look,</c><00:31:46.200><c> everyone</c><00:31:46.619><c> shall</c><00:31:47.019><c> be</c><00:31:47.079><c> salted</c><00:31:48.140><c> with</c><00:31:48.460><c> fire,</c><00:31:49.299><c> and</c>

others<00:31:49.779><c> that</c><00:31:50.140><c> sacrifice</c><00:31:50.660><c> will</c><00:31:50.859><c> be</c><00:31:51.079><c> salted</c><00:31:51.220><c> with</c><00:31:51.559><c> salt.</c>

00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:58.779
So,<00:31:53.900><c> the</c><00:31:53.960><c> issues</c><00:31:54.380><c> at</c><00:31:54.680><c> stake</c><00:31:54.900><c> in</c><00:31:55.119><c> Isaiah</c><00:31:55.519><c> 66</c><00:31:56.259><c> are</c><00:31:56.819><c> salt</c><00:31:57.240><c> or</c><00:31:57.619><c> fire.</c>

Now,<00:32:00.900><c> you</c><00:32:01.119><c> put</c><00:32:01.359><c> salt</c><00:32:01.700><c> in</c><00:32:01.960><c> something</c><00:32:02.200><c> and</c><00:32:02.380><c> it</c><00:32:02.559><c> permeates</c><00:32:03.180><c> it.</c>

00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:10.819
And<00:32:08.200><c> you</c><00:32:08.440><c> put</c><00:32:08.640><c> something</c><00:32:08.980><c> in</c><00:32:09.339><c> fire</c><00:32:09.720><c> and</c><00:32:09.920><c> it</c><00:32:10.019><c> destroys</c><00:32:10.539><c> it.</c>

00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:14.380
There's<00:32:11.259><c> a</c><00:32:11.380><c> totality</c><00:32:11.900><c> about</c><00:32:12.180><c> those</c><00:32:12.440><c> two</c><00:32:12.700><c> things,</c><00:32:13.700><c> one</c><00:32:14.099><c> for</c>

00:56:20.289 --> 00:56:22.570
This<00:56:20.489><c> is</c><00:56:20.670><c> something</c><00:56:20.829><c> that</c><00:56:21.090><c> men</c><00:56:21.309><c> might</c><00:56:21.590><c> do,</c><00:56:21.949><c> brethren</c><00:56:22.150><c> and</c><00:56:22.269><c> sisters.</c>

00:56:44.849 --> 00:56:47.030
Nobody<00:56:45.130><c> says</c><00:56:45.369><c> Jesus</c><00:56:45.710><c> likes</c><00:56:46.030><c> a</c><00:56:46.230><c> candle</c><00:56:46.369><c> and</c><00:56:46.530><c> immediately</c><00:56:46.849><c> puts</c>

That's<00:56:51.730><c> just</c><00:56:52.030><c> stupid.</c>

00:56:52.730 --> 00:56:54.630
Why<00:56:52.909><c> would</c><00:56:53.050><c> you</c><00:56:53.110><c> do</c><00:56:53.210><c> a</c><00:56:53.329><c> thing</c><00:56:53.409><c> like</c><00:56:53.710><c> that?</c>

Isn't<00:57:12.690><c> that</c><00:57:12.829><c> interesting?</c>

00:57:14.650 --> 00:57:17.429
