00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:07.759
And<00:00:04.280><c> when</c><00:00:04.480><c> you're</c><00:00:04.620><c> trying</c><00:00:04.839><c> to</c><00:00:04.919><c> lay</c><00:00:05.200><c> out</c><00:00:05.540><c> your</c><00:00:05.879><c> own</c><00:00:06.179><c> understanding</c><00:00:06.679><c> of</c><00:00:07.379><c> God's</c>

00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:08.419
Redemptive<00:00:08.099><c> Plan,</c>

00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:10.000
of<00:00:08.580><c> how</c><00:00:08.839><c> the</c><00:00:09.039><c> Atonement</c><00:00:09.320><c> actually</c><00:00:09.720><c> works,</c>

00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:13.400
it<00:00:10.560><c> is</c><00:00:10.800><c> good</c><00:00:11.000><c> to</c><00:00:11.240><c> look</c><00:00:11.439><c> at,</c><00:00:11.640><c> first</c><00:00:11.900><c> of</c><00:00:12.140><c> all,</c><00:00:12.740><c> how</c><00:00:12.880><c> bad</c><00:00:13.179><c> things</c>

00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:14.560
got<00:00:13.759><c> with</c><00:00:14.019><c> Adam</c><00:00:14.240><c> and</c><00:00:14.400><c> Eve.</c>

00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:15.980
Where<00:00:14.919><c> are</c><00:00:15.019><c> we</c><00:00:15.259><c> starting</c><00:00:15.580><c> with?</c>

00:00:16.460 --> 00:00:19.699
Then<00:00:16.739><c> look</c><00:00:17.100><c> at,</c><00:00:17.359><c> well,</c><00:00:17.820><c> what</c><00:00:17.960><c> did</c><00:00:18.120><c> God</c><00:00:18.339><c> do</c><00:00:18.519><c> to</c><00:00:18.640><c> remedy</c><00:00:18.940><c> the</c><00:00:19.160><c> situation?</c>

00:00:19.859 --> 00:00:23.140
He<00:00:20.039><c> decided</c><00:00:20.500><c> He</c><00:00:20.739><c> would</c><00:00:21.079><c> save</c><00:00:21.399><c> a</c><00:00:21.640><c> member</c><00:00:21.960><c> of</c><00:00:22.239><c> our</c><00:00:22.440><c> race,</c><00:00:22.739><c> so</c><00:00:22.940><c> He</c>

00:00:23.140 --> 00:00:23.980
saved<00:00:23.440><c> His</c><00:00:23.719><c> Son.</c>

00:00:24.460 --> 00:00:27.059
That<00:00:24.679><c> was</c><00:00:24.920><c> a</c><00:00:25.059><c> critical</c><00:00:25.480><c> component</c><00:00:26.079><c> of</c><00:00:26.339><c> the</c><00:00:26.480><c> whole</c><00:00:26.699><c> plan.</c>

00:00:27.059 --> 00:00:31.339
But<00:00:27.859><c> the</c><00:00:28.160><c> goal</c><00:00:28.420><c> of</c><00:00:28.660><c> the</c><00:00:28.879><c> plan</c><00:00:29.079><c> was</c><00:00:29.539><c> that</c><00:00:29.820><c> once</c><00:00:30.120><c> He</c><00:00:30.379><c> saved</c><00:00:30.679><c> His</c><00:00:30.980><c> Son,</c>

00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:33.799
He<00:00:31.800><c> then</c><00:00:32.060><c> intended</c><00:00:32.619><c> to</c><00:00:33.039><c> save</c><00:00:33.320><c> the</c><00:00:33.560><c> many.</c>

00:00:34.259 --> 00:00:37.659
And<00:00:34.479><c> this</c><00:00:35.320><c> is</c><00:00:35.439><c> what</c><00:00:35.659><c> motivated</c><00:00:36.200><c> Jesus</c><00:00:36.659><c> to</c><00:00:36.899><c> continue</c><00:00:37.399><c> through</c>

00:00:37.659 --> 00:00:38.759
it<00:00:37.859><c> all.</c>

00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:41.259
So<00:00:39.200><c> the</c><00:00:39.479><c> game</c><00:00:39.759><c> plan</c><00:00:39.920><c> for</c><00:00:40.100><c> tonight,</c><00:00:40.539><c> at</c><00:00:40.539><c> least,</c><00:00:40.780><c> is</c><00:00:40.859><c> looking</c><00:00:41.079><c> at</c>

00:00:41.259 --> 00:00:41.840
the<00:00:41.399><c> fact</c><00:00:41.600><c> that</c>

00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:46.420
because<00:00:42.340><c> Jesus</c><00:00:42.859><c> Christ</c><00:00:43.219><c> was</c><00:00:43.560><c> saved,</c><00:00:44.520><c> God</c><00:00:44.840><c> can</c><00:00:45.259><c> now</c><00:00:45.780><c> save</c><00:00:46.200><c> the</c>

00:00:46.420 --> 00:00:48.460
many,<00:00:46.820><c> the</c><00:00:47.060><c> rest</c><00:00:47.280><c> of</c><00:00:47.460><c> His</c><00:00:47.619><c> family.</c>

00:00:48.740 --> 00:00:51.280
I<00:00:48.799><c> thought</c><00:00:48.979><c> it</c><00:00:49.060><c> would</c><00:00:49.320><c> be</c><00:00:49.439><c> at</c><00:00:49.479><c> least</c><00:00:49.740><c> good</c><00:00:50.039><c> to</c><00:00:50.200><c> look</c><00:00:50.380><c> at</c><00:00:50.740><c> last</c><00:00:51.079><c> night.</c>

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:53.539
We<00:00:51.420><c> never</c><00:00:51.640><c> got</c><00:00:51.840><c> this</c><00:00:52.140><c> far</c><00:00:52.359><c> on</c><00:00:52.619><c> the</c><00:00:52.899><c> class</c><00:00:53.159><c> last</c><00:00:53.399><c> night.</c>

00:00:53.579 --> 00:00:55.200
There<00:00:53.719><c> are</c><00:00:53.719><c> a</c><00:00:53.820><c> few</c><00:00:53.920><c> extra</c><00:00:54.119><c> things</c><00:00:54.359><c> I</c><00:00:54.500><c> like</c><00:00:54.679><c> to</c><00:00:54.840><c> look</c><00:00:55.000><c> at</c>

00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:57.439
when<00:00:55.340><c> you</c><00:00:55.520><c> start</c><00:00:55.700><c> talking</c><00:00:56.000><c> about</c><00:00:56.280><c> God</c><00:00:56.500><c> redeeming</c><00:00:56.979><c> His</c><00:00:57.159><c> Son.</c>

00:00:57.939 --> 00:01:00.659
And<00:00:58.219><c> they</c><00:00:58.659><c> centered</c><00:00:58.820><c> around</c><00:00:59.039><c> the</c><00:00:59.299><c> idea</c><00:00:59.560><c> of</c><00:00:59.799><c> how</c><00:00:59.979><c> did</c><00:01:00.119><c> He</c><00:01:00.159><c> do</c><00:01:00.340><c> it?</c>

00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:03.759
How<00:01:01.100><c> did</c><00:01:01.280><c> He</c><00:01:01.520><c> actually</c><00:01:01.920><c> save</c><00:01:02.240><c> a</c><00:01:02.460><c> member</c><00:01:02.659><c> of</c><00:01:02.880><c> our</c><00:01:03.079><c> race</c><00:01:03.340><c> with</c>

00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:04.799
our<00:01:04.060><c> human</c><00:01:04.340><c> nature,</c>

00:01:05.180 --> 00:01:08.219
with<00:01:05.540><c> our</c><00:01:06.560><c> desires</c><00:01:07.200><c> to</c><00:01:07.599><c> sin</c><00:01:07.719><c> that</c><00:01:07.879><c> we</c><00:01:08.079><c> have,</c>

00:01:08.219 --> 00:01:11.400
how<00:01:08.560><c> did</c><00:01:08.739><c> He</c><00:01:08.959><c> ever</c><00:01:09.299><c> save</c><00:01:09.640><c> anybody</c><00:01:10.140><c> of</c><00:01:10.439><c> this</c><00:01:10.659><c> race?</c>

00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:14.319
And<00:01:11.680><c> we</c><00:01:11.879><c> know</c><00:01:12.099><c> that</c><00:01:12.319><c> He</c><00:01:12.459><c> gave</c><00:01:12.840><c> Jesus</c><00:01:13.219><c> a</c><00:01:13.480><c> set</c><00:01:13.680><c> of</c><00:01:13.920><c> genes,</c>

00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:17.680
which<00:01:14.939><c> gave</c><00:01:15.200><c> Him</c><00:01:15.620><c> the</c><00:01:16.019><c> ability,</c><00:01:16.599><c> the</c><00:01:16.900><c> potential,</c>

00:01:18.019 --> 00:01:21.359
to<00:01:18.359><c> learn</c><00:01:18.659><c> His</c><00:01:19.019><c> Word</c><00:01:19.379><c> and</c><00:01:19.599><c> learn</c><00:01:19.939><c> how</c><00:01:20.159><c> it</c><00:01:20.420><c> works</c><00:01:20.640><c> and</c><00:01:20.819><c> remember</c>

00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:22.040
those<00:01:21.659><c> things.</c>

00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:25.480
He<00:01:22.599><c> gave</c><00:01:22.840><c> them</c><00:01:23.079><c> some</c><00:01:23.379><c> potentials</c><00:01:23.980><c> there</c><00:01:24.099><c> that</c><00:01:24.180><c> we</c><00:01:24.319><c> don't</c><00:01:24.579><c> have.</c>

00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:27.920
And<00:01:25.560><c> that's</c><00:01:26.060><c> okay.</c><00:01:26.459><c> That's</c><00:01:26.819><c> not</c><00:01:26.980><c> a</c><00:01:27.060><c> case</c><00:01:27.280><c> of</c><00:01:27.540><c> unfair.</c>

00:01:28.099 --> 00:01:30.519
It's<00:01:28.260><c> a</c><00:01:28.280><c> case</c><00:01:28.519><c> of</c><00:01:28.659><c> this</c><00:01:28.840><c> is</c><00:01:28.920><c> what</c><00:01:29.019><c> He</c><00:01:29.239><c> needed</c><00:01:29.500><c> in</c><00:01:29.700><c> order</c><00:01:29.939><c> to</c><00:01:30.159><c> make</c><00:01:30.319><c> it.</c>

00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:33.180
But<00:01:31.060><c> just</c><00:01:31.260><c> because</c><00:01:31.519><c> you</c><00:01:31.700><c> have</c><00:01:31.819><c> the</c><00:01:32.099><c> potential</c><00:01:32.560><c> doesn't</c><00:01:32.920><c> mean</c>

00:01:33.180 --> 00:01:36.060
that<00:01:33.340><c> you</c><00:01:33.620><c> automatically</c><00:01:34.239><c> are</c><00:01:35.159><c> going</c><00:01:35.299><c> to</c><00:01:35.379><c> be</c><00:01:35.519><c> able</c><00:01:35.700><c> to</c><00:01:35.900><c> do</c>

00:01:36.060 --> 00:01:36.659
those<00:01:36.359><c> things.</c>

00:01:36.780 --> 00:01:39.700
Those<00:01:36.959><c> are</c><00:01:37.180><c> things</c><00:01:37.420><c> which</c><00:01:37.719><c> God</c><00:01:38.019><c> had</c><00:01:38.299><c> to</c><00:01:38.599><c> teach</c><00:01:38.819><c> Him</c><00:01:39.120><c> and</c><00:01:39.540><c> had</c>

00:01:39.700 --> 00:01:41.060
to<00:01:39.900><c> work</c><00:01:40.060><c> with</c><00:01:40.239><c> Him</c><00:01:40.459><c> every</c><00:01:40.719><c> day.</c>

00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.019
So<00:01:41.719><c> you</c><00:01:41.939><c> find</c><00:01:42.299><c> out</c><00:01:42.599><c> in</c><00:01:42.840><c> these</c><00:01:43.120><c> mechanisms</c><00:01:43.620><c> that</c><00:01:43.799><c> we're</c><00:01:43.900><c> going</c>

00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:47.780
the<00:01:45.140><c> reason</c><00:01:45.340><c> I</c><00:01:45.480><c> want</c><00:01:45.579><c> to</c><00:01:45.659><c> look</c><00:01:45.879><c> at</c><00:01:46.019><c> it</c><00:01:46.140><c> is</c><00:01:46.280><c> because</c><00:01:46.680><c> if</c><00:01:47.219><c> this</c><00:01:47.560><c> is</c>

00:01:47.780 --> 00:01:49.299
how<00:01:48.019><c> God</c><00:01:48.319><c> saved</c><00:01:48.599><c> His</c><00:01:48.879><c> Son,</c>

00:01:49.299 --> 00:01:52.620
then<00:01:50.060><c> these</c><00:01:50.420><c> are</c><00:01:50.620><c> the</c><00:01:50.879><c> same</c><00:01:51.159><c> mechanisms</c><00:01:51.739><c> that</c><00:01:52.000><c> God</c><00:01:52.180><c> will</c><00:01:52.439><c> use</c>

00:01:52.620 --> 00:01:53.319
to<00:01:52.799><c> save</c><00:01:52.939><c> us.</c>

00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:55.640
It's<00:01:54.000><c> not</c><00:01:54.140><c> like</c><00:01:54.299><c> there's</c><00:01:54.680><c> different</c><00:01:55.040><c> mechanisms.</c>

00:01:55.739 --> 00:01:58.079
It's<00:01:56.180><c> the</c><00:01:56.319><c> same</c><00:01:56.620><c> basic</c><00:01:57.079><c> plan.</c>

00:01:58.099 --> 00:02:01.079
And<00:01:58.299><c> this</c><00:01:58.519><c> is</c><00:01:58.659><c> what</c><00:01:58.840><c> God</c><00:01:59.120><c> wants</c><00:01:59.480><c> to</c><00:01:59.620><c> do</c><00:01:59.680><c> with</c><00:01:59.879><c> us,</c><00:02:00.299><c> the</c><00:02:00.540><c> same</c><00:02:00.760><c> thing</c><00:02:00.900><c> He</c>

00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:05.060
So<00:02:02.900><c> He</c><00:02:03.200><c> immersed</c><00:02:03.560><c> them</c><00:02:03.819><c> in</c><00:02:04.219><c> the</c><00:02:04.420><c> Word</c><00:02:04.540><c> of</c><00:02:04.659><c> God.</c>

00:02:05.379 --> 00:02:07.700
He<00:02:05.640><c> taught</c><00:02:05.939><c> him</c><00:02:06.159><c> the</c><00:02:06.359><c> Bible</c><00:02:06.739><c> really</c><00:02:07.319><c> well.</c>

00:02:32.699 --> 00:02:35.520
And<00:02:32.860><c> you</c><00:02:32.979><c> can</c><00:02:33.180><c> imagine</c><00:02:33.560><c> how</c><00:02:33.800><c> the</c><00:02:34.060><c> angels</c><00:02:34.360><c> would</c><00:02:34.639><c> do</c><00:02:34.800><c> that</c><00:02:34.979><c> with</c><00:02:35.180><c> Christ.</c>

00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:38.259
Christ<00:02:36.080><c> would</c><00:02:36.300><c> talk</c><00:02:36.539><c> to</c><00:02:36.740><c> God</c><00:02:36.900><c> in</c><00:02:37.099><c> prayer</c><00:02:37.379><c> all</c><00:02:37.659><c> night</c><00:02:37.860><c> and</c><00:02:38.039><c> the</c>

00:03:00.419 --> 00:03:04.039
We<00:03:00.620><c> really</c><00:03:00.960><c> should</c><00:03:01.099><c> be</c><00:03:01.340><c> turning</c><00:03:01.580><c> to</c><00:03:02.000><c> the</c><00:03:02.159><c> Word</c><00:03:02.340><c> of</c><00:03:02.460><c> God</c><00:03:02.740><c> somehow</c><00:03:03.319><c> every</c><00:03:03.740><c> day</c>

00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:42.420
This<00:06:39.899><c> is</c><00:06:40.120><c> stuff</c><00:06:40.259><c> that</c><00:06:40.500><c> Trinitarians</c><00:06:41.100><c> will</c><00:06:41.360><c> never</c><00:06:41.740><c> understand.</c>

that<00:07:58.379><c> would</c><00:07:58.560><c> have</c><00:07:58.779><c> humbled</c><00:07:59.180><c> Jesus</c><00:07:59.699><c> all</c><00:08:00.000><c> His</c><00:08:00.259><c> life.</c>

00:08:01.060 --> 00:08:02.939
And<00:08:01.240><c> you</c><00:08:01.420><c> imagine</c><00:08:01.699><c> this</c><00:08:01.879><c> from</c><00:08:02.079><c> God's</c><00:08:02.639><c> perspective.</c>

00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:04.839
Here<00:08:03.199><c> He</c><00:08:03.319><c> is</c><00:08:03.439><c> raising</c><00:08:03.699><c> His</c><00:08:04.000><c> Son</c><00:08:04.160><c> who</c><00:08:04.319><c> He</c><00:08:04.540><c> loves.</c>

00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:07.360
And<00:08:05.339><c> He's</c><00:08:05.500><c> teaching</c><00:08:05.839><c> His</c><00:08:06.220><c> Son</c><00:08:06.500><c> every</c><00:08:07.000><c> day,</c>

00:08:07.379 --> 00:08:10.120
helping<00:08:07.660><c> Him</c><00:08:07.819><c> to</c><00:08:08.100><c> understand</c><00:08:08.500><c> the</c><00:08:08.839><c> role</c><00:08:09.079><c> that</c><00:08:09.240><c> He</c><00:08:09.319><c> has</c><00:08:09.500><c> to</c><00:08:09.779><c> play,</c>

00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:11.980
what<00:08:10.639><c> God</c><00:08:10.939><c> wants</c><00:08:11.259><c> Him</c><00:08:11.439><c> to</c><00:08:11.620><c> do.</c>

00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:16.420

00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:22.639
Most<00:08:21.000><c> of</c><00:08:21.199><c> us</c><00:08:21.379><c> would</c><00:08:21.480><c> let</c><00:08:21.639><c> it</c><00:08:21.699><c> go</c><00:08:21.860><c> to</c><00:08:22.019><c> our</c><00:08:22.240><c> heads</c>

00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:28.500
Or<00:08:27.100><c> look</c><00:08:27.240><c> at</c><00:08:27.319><c> what</c><00:08:27.519><c> God</c><00:08:27.759><c> gave</c><00:08:28.040><c> Solomon</c>

00:08:28.500 --> 00:08:30.600
because<00:08:28.860><c> Solomon</c><00:08:29.300><c> asked</c><00:08:29.740><c> for</c><00:08:29.939><c> the</c><00:08:30.120><c> right</c><00:08:30.339><c> things</c>

00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:32.740
and<00:08:30.779><c> God</c><00:08:31.060><c> gave</c><00:08:31.360><c> him</c><00:08:31.600><c> those</c><00:08:31.819><c> things</c><00:08:32.000><c> and</c><00:08:32.299><c> more.</c>

00:08:32.980 --> 00:08:35.019
And<00:08:33.100><c> look</c><00:08:33.200><c> at</c><00:08:33.299><c> what</c><00:08:33.419><c> it</c><00:08:33.639><c> did</c><00:08:33.740><c> to</c><00:08:33.899><c> his</c><00:08:34.139><c> life.</c>

00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:38.620
Most<00:08:35.620><c> of</c><00:08:35.899><c> us</c><00:08:36.179><c> can't</c><00:08:36.620><c> handle</c><00:08:37.120><c> that</c><00:08:37.639><c> kind</c><00:08:38.039><c> of</c><00:08:38.340><c> power</c>

00:08:38.620 --> 00:08:40.679

00:08:40.700 --> 00:08:42.379
But<00:08:40.860><c> He</c><00:08:41.100><c> gives</c><00:08:41.419><c> all</c><00:08:41.659><c> this</c><00:08:41.820><c> to</c><00:08:42.019><c> Jesus</c>

00:08:42.379 --> 00:08:45.519
and<00:08:42.559><c> He</c><00:08:42.720><c> has</c><00:08:42.940><c> to</c><00:08:43.200><c> somehow</c><00:08:43.600><c> keep</c><00:08:43.899><c> him</c><00:08:44.200><c> humble</c><00:08:44.559><c> all</c><00:08:44.899><c> His</c><00:08:45.159><c> life.</c>

00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:49.700
And<00:08:46.039><c> so</c><00:08:46.340><c> He</c><00:08:46.659><c> puts</c><00:08:47.059><c> before</c><00:08:47.539><c> Him</c><00:08:47.899><c> the</c><00:08:48.159><c> fact</c><00:08:48.480><c> that</c><00:08:48.980><c> in</c><00:08:49.159><c> the</c><00:08:49.419><c> end,</c>

00:08:49.820 --> 00:08:51.620
this<00:08:50.139><c> is</c><00:08:50.419><c> where</c><00:08:50.639><c> your</c><00:08:50.940><c> life</c><00:08:51.139><c> will</c><00:08:51.399><c> end.</c>

00:08:51.820 --> 00:08:54.259
You<00:08:52.179><c> are</c><00:08:52.419><c> going</c><00:08:52.519><c> to</c><00:08:52.639><c> be</c><00:08:52.899><c> publicly</c><00:08:53.379><c> crucified,</c>

00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:57.679
shamed,<00:08:55.539><c> reviled</c><00:08:56.000><c> and</c><00:08:56.419><c> laughed</c><00:08:56.759><c> at</c><00:08:56.980><c> and</c><00:08:57.259><c> jeered.</c>

00:08:57.899 --> 00:08:59.240
This<00:08:58.220><c> is</c><00:08:58.440><c> what's</c><00:08:58.659><c> going</c><00:08:58.779><c> to</c><00:08:58.980><c> happen.</c>

00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:02.220
And<00:08:59.879><c> He</c><00:09:00.059><c> put</c><00:09:00.240><c> it</c><00:09:00.519><c> forward</c><00:09:00.740><c> to</c><00:09:00.879><c> Him</c><00:09:01.159><c> all</c><00:09:01.460><c> the</c><00:09:01.679><c> time</c>

00:09:02.220 --> 00:09:04.879
so<00:09:02.539><c> that</c><00:09:02.720><c> He</c><00:09:02.820><c> would</c><00:09:03.080><c> never</c><00:09:03.460><c> become</c><00:09:04.100><c> too</c><00:09:04.539><c> proud</c>

00:09:49.019 --> 00:09:50.820
And<00:09:49.240><c> then</c><00:09:49.379><c> He</c><00:09:49.480><c> tells</c><00:09:49.759><c> all</c><00:09:50.100><c> the</c><00:09:50.240><c> rest</c><00:09:50.460><c> of</c><00:09:50.639><c> them.</c>

00:09:50.820 --> 00:09:54.919
He<00:09:51.000><c> says,</c><00:09:51.379><c> look</c><00:09:51.500><c> at</c><00:09:51.720><c> if</c><00:09:52.039><c> anybody</c><00:09:52.679><c> desires</c><00:09:53.399><c> to</c><00:09:54.000><c> come</c><00:09:54.179><c> after</c><00:09:54.500><c> me,</c>

00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:59.059
let<00:09:55.259><c> him</c><00:09:55.460><c> deny</c><00:09:55.820><c> himself,</c><00:09:56.580><c> take</c><00:09:56.759><c> up</c><00:09:56.960><c> his</c><00:09:57.279><c> cross</c><00:09:57.580><c> daily</c><00:09:58.039><c> and</c><00:09:58.440><c> follow</c><00:09:58.740><c> me.</c>

00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:02.080
It<00:09:59.759><c> just</c><00:10:00.080><c> shows</c><00:10:00.320><c> us</c><00:10:00.580><c> that</c><00:10:00.779><c> there</c><00:10:00.940><c> really</c><00:10:01.100><c> is</c><00:10:01.259><c> only</c><00:10:01.519><c> one</c><00:10:01.860><c> way</c>

00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:02.919
back<00:10:02.299><c> to</c><00:10:02.480><c> the</c><00:10:02.620><c> Father.</c>

00:10:03.379 --> 00:10:06.019
The<00:10:03.519><c> way</c><00:10:03.740><c> back</c><00:10:03.960><c> to</c><00:10:04.120><c> the</c><00:10:04.320><c> Father</c><00:10:04.580><c> always</c><00:10:05.139><c> has</c><00:10:05.600><c> been</c>

00:10:16.700 --> 00:10:17.600
That's<00:10:17.159><c> the</c><00:10:17.340><c> plan.</c>

00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:19.960
And<00:10:17.940><c> He</c><00:10:18.200><c> saved</c><00:10:18.620><c> His</c><00:10:19.080><c> own</c><00:10:19.360><c> Son</c><00:10:19.539><c> that</c><00:10:19.799><c> way</c>

00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:22.000
and<00:10:20.080><c> He</c><00:10:20.179><c> will</c><00:10:20.379><c> save</c><00:10:20.700><c> the</c><00:10:20.899><c> rest</c><00:10:21.059><c> of</c><00:10:21.240><c> us.</c>

00:10:22.100 --> 00:10:24.700
The<00:10:22.279><c> other</c><00:10:22.419><c> thing</c><00:10:22.600><c> He</c><00:10:22.759><c> did</c><00:10:22.980><c> is</c><00:10:23.179><c> He</c><00:10:23.419><c> developed</c><00:10:23.860><c> in</c><00:10:24.059><c> His</c><00:10:24.360><c> Son</c>

00:10:24.700 --> 00:10:27.299
an<00:10:25.200><c> unbelievable</c><00:10:25.960><c> trusting</c><00:10:26.759><c> faith</c>

00:10:27.299 --> 00:10:29.759
that<00:10:27.940><c> whatever</c><00:10:28.460><c> God</c><00:10:28.740><c> brought</c><00:10:28.980><c> into</c><00:10:29.179><c> His</c><00:10:29.440><c> life,</c>

00:10:29.940 --> 00:10:35.019
He<00:10:30.279><c> really</c><00:10:30.759><c> did</c><00:10:31.059><c> believe</c><00:10:31.840><c> that</c><00:10:32.360><c> God</c><00:10:32.700><c> is</c><00:10:32.980><c> gonna</c><00:10:33.139><c> use</c><00:10:33.460><c> this</c><00:10:33.899><c> for</c><00:10:34.240><c> good.</c>

00:10:35.220 --> 00:10:38.559
He<00:10:35.519><c> had</c><00:10:35.700><c> that</c><00:10:36.059><c> intrinsic</c><00:10:36.799><c> belief</c><00:10:37.240><c> system</c><00:10:37.580><c> that</c><00:10:37.820><c> Joseph</c><00:10:38.179><c> had</c>

00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:40.840
where<00:10:38.960><c> he</c><00:10:39.019><c> could</c><00:10:39.139><c> look</c><00:10:39.320><c> at</c><00:10:39.519><c> people</c><00:10:39.799><c> who</c><00:10:40.039><c> mistreated</c><00:10:40.519><c> Him,</c>

00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:43.080
who<00:10:41.059><c> hated</c><00:10:41.360><c> Him,</c><00:10:42.179><c> who</c><00:10:42.299><c> did</c><00:10:42.440><c> all</c><00:10:42.659><c> those</c><00:10:42.840><c> things</c>

00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:43.899
and<00:10:43.159><c> wanted</c><00:10:43.360><c> to</c><00:10:43.620><c> kill</c><00:10:43.740><c> Him.</c>

00:10:43.940 --> 00:10:45.679
And<00:10:44.039><c> He</c><00:10:44.100><c> looks</c><00:10:44.340><c> at</c><00:10:44.460><c> them</c><00:10:44.620><c> and</c><00:10:44.679><c> He</c><00:10:44.779><c> says,</c>

00:10:45.940 --> 00:10:48.399
I<00:10:45.960><c> know</c><00:10:46.259><c> you</c><00:10:46.580><c> meant</c><00:10:46.720><c> it</c><00:10:46.960><c> for</c><00:10:47.299><c> evil</c><00:10:47.639><c> against</c><00:10:48.019><c> me.</c>

00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:51.259
That's<00:10:48.940><c> okay,</c><00:10:49.799><c> because</c><00:10:50.139><c> God</c><00:10:50.360><c> was</c><00:10:50.559><c> in</c><00:10:50.779><c> control</c>

00:10:51.259 --> 00:10:53.379
and<00:10:51.480><c> He</c><00:10:51.759><c> was</c><00:10:51.919><c> gonna</c><00:10:52.080><c> use</c><00:10:52.320><c> it</c><00:10:52.460><c> for</c><00:10:52.620><c> good.</c>

00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:55.940
And<00:10:54.000><c> that's</c><00:10:54.340><c> hard</c><00:10:54.740><c> to</c><00:10:54.919><c> get</c><00:10:55.080><c> that</c><00:10:55.340><c> kind</c><00:10:55.500><c> of</c><00:10:55.620><c> a</c><00:10:55.759><c> faith.</c>

00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:58.500
But<00:10:56.700><c> Jesus</c><00:10:57.240><c> Christ</c><00:10:57.659><c> developed</c><00:10:58.200><c> that.</c>

00:10:58.639 --> 00:10:59.799
Joseph<00:10:58.980><c> had</c><00:10:59.240><c> it</c><00:10:59.519><c> too.</c>

00:11:00.059 --> 00:11:01.919
This<00:11:00.340><c> is</c><00:11:00.659><c> a</c><00:11:00.940><c> faith</c><00:11:01.200><c> that</c><00:11:01.580><c> saves.</c>

00:11:02.340 --> 00:11:04.600
And<00:11:02.539><c> he</c><00:11:02.700><c> had</c><00:11:02.940><c> to</c><00:11:03.200><c> do</c><00:11:03.399><c> this</c><00:11:03.620><c> with</c><00:11:03.799><c> his</c><00:11:04.039><c> own</c><00:11:04.320><c> Son.</c>

00:11:05.019 --> 00:11:07.460
So<00:11:05.279><c> He</c><00:11:05.480><c> said</c><00:11:05.759><c> to</c><00:11:05.980><c> the</c><00:11:06.200><c> Hebrews</c><00:11:06.500><c> in</c><00:11:06.759><c> chapter</c><00:11:07.080><c> 10</c>

00:11:07.460 --> 00:11:09.639
when<00:11:07.580><c> He</c><00:11:07.720><c> was</c><00:11:07.899><c> trying</c><00:11:08.120><c> to</c><00:11:08.460><c> exhort</c><00:11:08.700><c> them</c><00:11:08.919><c> and</c><00:11:09.120><c> remind</c><00:11:09.440><c> them</c>

00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:12.039
that<00:11:09.840><c> look</c><00:11:09.960><c> it,</c><00:11:10.379><c> you</c><00:11:10.600><c> guys</c><00:11:10.840><c> are</c><00:11:10.980><c> gonna</c><00:11:11.120><c> face</c><00:11:11.399><c> rough</c><00:11:11.620><c> times.</c>

00:11:12.500 --> 00:11:13.899
You<00:11:12.620><c> thought</c><00:11:12.720><c> the</c><00:11:13.000><c> Babylonians</c><00:11:13.480><c> were</c><00:11:13.700><c> bad?</c>

00:11:14.059 --> 00:11:15.419
The<00:11:14.240><c> Romans</c><00:11:14.639><c> are</c><00:11:14.919><c> coming</c><00:11:15.139><c> in.</c>

00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.159
And<00:11:16.000><c> you</c><00:11:16.240><c> as</c><00:11:16.539><c> a</c><00:11:16.740><c> community</c><00:11:16.960><c> are</c><00:11:17.220><c> gonna</c><00:11:17.340><c> be</c><00:11:17.639><c> persecuted</c>

00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:22.019
and<00:11:18.399><c> you</c><00:11:18.580><c> are</c><00:11:18.779><c> going</c><00:11:18.940><c> to</c><00:11:19.259><c> suffer</c><00:11:19.519><c> and</c><00:11:19.740><c> you</c><00:11:19.899><c> have</c><00:11:20.100><c> need</c><00:11:20.480><c> of</c><00:11:20.879><c> endurance</c>

00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:24.879
so<00:11:22.299><c> that</c><00:11:22.580><c> after</c><00:11:22.879><c> you</c><00:11:23.080><c> have</c><00:11:23.340><c> done</c><00:11:23.700><c> the</c><00:11:24.039><c> will</c><00:11:24.179><c> of</c><00:11:24.460><c> God,</c>

00:11:25.139 --> 00:11:27.039
you<00:11:25.519><c> may</c><00:11:25.779><c> receive</c><00:11:26.320><c> the</c><00:11:26.639><c> promise.</c>

00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:29.259
This<00:11:27.679><c> is</c><00:11:27.980><c> the</c><00:11:28.159><c> pattern,</c><00:11:28.440><c> this</c><00:11:28.600><c> is</c><00:11:28.659><c> how</c><00:11:28.779><c> it</c><00:11:29.000><c> works.</c>

00:11:29.580 --> 00:11:31.720
You<00:11:29.940><c> learn</c><00:11:30.240><c> to</c><00:11:30.600><c> do</c><00:11:30.779><c> the</c><00:11:31.039><c> will</c><00:11:31.179><c> of</c><00:11:31.460><c> God</c>

00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:34.100
and<00:11:32.019><c> then</c><00:11:32.360><c> receive</c><00:11:32.860><c> the</c><00:11:33.100><c> reward.</c>

00:11:34.259 --> 00:11:36.620
For<00:11:34.639><c> yet</c><00:11:34.960><c> a</c><00:11:35.139><c> little</c><00:11:35.360><c> while</c><00:11:35.700><c> and</c><00:11:35.980><c> He</c><00:11:36.120><c> was</c><00:11:36.379><c> coming,</c>

00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:41.539
And<00:11:38.679><c> now</c><00:11:39.019><c> the</c><00:11:39.539><c> just</c><00:11:39.899><c> shall</c><00:11:40.299><c> live</c><00:11:40.659><c> by</c><00:11:41.240><c> faith.</c>

00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:44.159
He<00:11:41.820><c> quotes</c><00:11:42.039><c> that</c><00:11:42.360><c> right</c><00:11:42.700><c> out</c><00:11:42.940><c> of</c><00:11:43.080><c> Habakkuk</c><00:11:43.419><c> chapter</c><00:11:43.720><c> two.</c>

00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:48.059
But<00:11:44.620><c> if</c><00:11:44.879><c> anyone</c><00:11:45.279><c> draws</c><00:11:45.659><c> back,</c><00:11:46.279><c> my</c><00:11:46.480><c> soul</c><00:11:46.759><c> has</c><00:11:47.100><c> no</c><00:11:47.379><c> pleasure</c><00:11:47.639><c> in</c><00:11:47.840><c> him.</c>

00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:52.620
where<00:11:51.220><c> Habakkuk</c><00:11:51.759><c> had</c><00:11:52.059><c> realized</c>

00:11:52.620 --> 00:11:54.919
the<00:11:52.919><c> Babylonians</c><00:11:53.379><c> were</c><00:11:53.539><c> gonna</c><00:11:53.679><c> come</c><00:11:53.899><c> in</c><00:11:54.039><c> and</c><00:11:54.179><c> invade</c><00:11:54.419><c> the</c><00:11:54.659><c> city.</c>

00:11:55.220 --> 00:11:56.539
They<00:11:55.360><c> were</c><00:11:55.440><c> gonna</c><00:11:55.600><c> surround</c><00:11:56.000><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:11:56.980 --> 00:11:59.279
You've<00:11:57.440><c> read</c><00:11:57.679><c> in</c><00:11:57.879><c> Lamentations</c><00:11:58.419><c> how</c><00:11:58.639><c> bad</c><00:11:58.860><c> it</c><00:11:59.100><c> got</c>

00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:02.039

00:12:02.100 --> 00:12:03.960
And<00:12:02.299><c> Jeremiah</c><00:12:02.559><c> is</c><00:12:02.740><c> out</c><00:12:02.860><c> there</c><00:12:03.059><c> preaching</c><00:12:03.379><c> as</c><00:12:03.639><c> you're</c><00:12:03.840><c> going</c>

00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:06.399

00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:07.720
as<00:12:06.580><c> you're</c><00:12:06.740><c> reading</c><00:12:06.960><c> through</c><00:12:07.220><c> Jeremiah</c>

00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:09.059
and<00:12:07.960><c> you're</c><00:12:08.159><c> reading</c><00:12:08.379><c> through</c><00:12:08.600><c> all</c><00:12:08.779><c> this</c><00:12:08.879><c> stuff</c>

00:12:09.059 --> 00:12:10.759
about<00:12:09.320><c> the</c><00:12:09.539><c> nation's</c><00:12:09.940><c> coming</c><00:12:10.019><c> down</c><00:12:10.240><c> from</c><00:12:10.399><c> the</c><00:12:10.559><c> north,</c>

00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:12.259
the<00:12:10.960><c> nation's</c><00:12:11.360><c> coming</c><00:12:11.500><c> down</c><00:12:11.679><c> from</c><00:12:11.840><c> the</c><00:12:12.000><c> north</c>

00:12:12.259 --> 00:12:13.480
and<00:12:12.419><c> they</c><00:12:12.620><c> laugh</c><00:12:12.879><c> at</c><00:12:13.019><c> him</c><00:12:13.179><c> and</c><00:12:13.299><c> say,</c>

00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:14.700
nobody's<00:12:13.980><c> coming</c><00:12:14.120><c> from</c><00:12:14.340><c> the</c><00:12:14.500><c> north.</c>

00:12:14.980 --> 00:12:17.120
You're<00:12:15.320><c> a</c><00:12:15.320><c> joker,</c><00:12:15.759><c> it's</c><00:12:15.899><c> Egypt</c><00:12:16.179><c> we</c><00:12:16.320><c> gotta</c><00:12:16.519><c> worry</c><00:12:16.799><c> about.</c>

00:12:17.539 --> 00:12:19.799
And<00:12:17.840><c> finally</c><00:12:18.139><c> the</c><00:12:18.480><c> Babylonians</c><00:12:18.980><c> come</c><00:12:19.259><c> down</c>

00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:22.659
and<00:12:20.320><c> you</c><00:12:20.720><c> think</c><00:12:21.000><c> everybody</c><00:12:21.580><c> would</c><00:12:21.820><c> believe</c><00:12:22.120><c> Jeremiah.</c>

00:12:23.019 --> 00:12:25.039
He's<00:12:23.399><c> right,</c><00:12:23.799><c> the</c><00:12:24.000><c> Babylonians</c><00:12:24.399><c> come</c><00:12:24.639><c> down.</c>

00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:26.240
And<00:12:25.419><c> God</c><00:12:25.559><c> says,</c><00:12:25.940><c> all</c><00:12:26.080><c> right,</c>

00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:28.399
now<00:12:26.419><c> you</c><00:12:26.559><c> gotta</c><00:12:26.639><c> go</c><00:12:26.919><c> tell</c><00:12:27.039><c> them</c><00:12:27.220><c> surrender.</c>

00:12:29.899 --> 00:12:30.879
Surrender?

00:12:31.019 --> 00:12:31.960
Well,<00:12:31.220><c> what</c><00:12:31.399><c> is</c><00:12:31.639><c> this?</c>

00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:34.120
It's<00:12:32.379><c> like,</c><00:12:32.700><c> we</c><00:12:32.759><c> don't</c><00:12:33.000><c> surrender.</c>

00:12:34.259 --> 00:12:36.360
You<00:12:34.740><c> save</c><00:12:35.100><c> us,</c><00:12:35.440><c> we</c><00:12:35.620><c> don't</c><00:12:35.860><c> surrender.</c>

00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:38.679
And<00:12:36.860><c> again,</c><00:12:37.700><c> his</c><00:12:37.799><c> message</c><00:12:38.179><c> changes</c>

00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:40.759
and<00:12:38.899><c> it's</c><00:12:39.059><c> just</c><00:12:39.299><c> like</c><00:12:39.480><c> the</c><00:12:39.679><c> people</c><00:12:39.899><c> look</c><00:12:40.120><c> at</c><00:12:40.340><c> Jeremiah</c>

00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:42.480
and<00:12:40.919><c> they</c><00:12:41.000><c> just</c><00:12:41.220><c> figure</c><00:12:41.360><c> he's</c><00:12:41.519><c> a</c><00:12:41.700><c> traitor.</c>

00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:46.980
But<00:12:43.059><c> those</c><00:12:43.639><c> who</c><00:12:43.960><c> had</c><00:12:44.340><c> faith,</c><00:12:45.259><c> who</c><00:12:45.460><c> believed</c><00:12:45.940><c> God's</c><00:12:46.720><c> word</c>

00:12:46.980 --> 00:12:49.539
got<00:12:47.360><c> out</c><00:12:47.720><c> of</c><00:12:47.820><c> the</c><00:12:48.120><c> city</c><00:12:48.399><c> and</c><00:12:48.759><c> saved</c><00:12:48.940><c> their</c><00:12:49.240><c> lives</c>

00:12:49.539 --> 00:12:51.820
and<00:12:49.759><c> didn't</c><00:12:50.080><c> go</c><00:12:50.419><c> through</c><00:12:50.700><c> the</c><00:12:50.960><c> siege.</c>

00:12:51.860 --> 00:12:54.120
And<00:12:51.980><c> God</c><00:12:52.240><c> promised</c><00:12:52.779><c> them</c><00:12:53.000><c> if</c><00:12:53.159><c> they</c><00:12:53.500><c> surrendered</c>

00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:56.600

00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:58.179
And<00:12:57.159><c> he</c><00:12:57.340><c> did.</c>

00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:00.279
And<00:12:58.360><c> you</c><00:12:58.440><c> remember</c><00:12:58.620><c> even</c><00:12:58.899><c> back</c><00:12:59.139><c> then</c><00:12:59.259><c> the</c><00:12:59.440><c> king</c><00:12:59.740><c> did</c><00:13:00.000><c> that.</c>

00:13:00.419 --> 00:13:02.019
Remember<00:13:00.700><c> the</c><00:13:00.980><c> king</c><00:13:01.200><c> at</c><00:13:01.419><c> that</c><00:13:01.639><c> time,</c>

00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:04.399

00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:05.879
and<00:13:04.840><c> he</c><00:13:04.940><c> just</c><00:13:05.120><c> like</c><00:13:05.399><c> walked</c><00:13:05.580><c> out.</c>

00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:08.460
That<00:13:06.139><c> was</c><00:13:06.399><c> what</c><00:13:06.639><c> Jehoiachin,</c><00:13:08.279><c> right?</c>

00:13:08.460 --> 00:13:09.159
Who<00:13:08.519><c> was</c><00:13:08.740><c> the</c><00:13:08.919><c> king.</c>

00:13:09.379 --> 00:13:10.860
He<00:13:09.480><c> had</c><00:13:09.539><c> only</c><00:13:09.720><c> been</c><00:13:09.899><c> in</c><00:13:10.019><c> there</c><00:13:10.100><c> for</c><00:13:10.279><c> three</c><00:13:10.519><c> months.</c>

00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:12.759
The<00:13:11.240><c> Babylonians</c><00:13:11.620><c> had</c><00:13:11.820><c> surrounded</c><00:13:12.159><c> the</c><00:13:12.419><c> city</c>

00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:14.919
and<00:13:13.460><c> Jehoiachin</c><00:13:14.320><c> had</c><00:13:14.559><c> died</c>

00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:16.659

00:13:16.980 --> 00:13:19.240
And<00:13:17.299><c> Jehoiachin</c><00:13:17.879><c> takes</c><00:13:18.100><c> over</c><00:13:18.379><c> for</c><00:13:18.580><c> three</c><00:13:18.899><c> months.</c>

00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:20.460
The<00:13:19.620><c> Babylonians</c><00:13:20.039><c> are</c><00:13:20.259><c> there</c>

00:13:20.460 --> 00:13:22.500

00:13:23.980 --> 00:13:25.200
And<00:13:24.139><c> he</c><00:13:24.220><c> goes</c><00:13:24.440><c> up</c><00:13:24.639><c> to</c><00:13:24.879><c> Babylon</c>

00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:27.980

00:13:28.340 --> 00:13:30.100
And<00:13:28.500><c> later</c><00:13:28.779><c> on</c><00:13:29.080><c> the</c><00:13:29.240><c> king</c><00:13:29.460><c> of</c><00:13:29.720><c> Babylon</c>

00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:36.980
because<00:13:34.519><c> he</c><00:13:34.759><c> believed</c><00:13:35.460><c> Jeremiah's</c><00:13:36.500><c> message.</c>

00:13:37.379 --> 00:13:40.000
The<00:13:37.720><c> just</c><00:13:38.080><c> would</c><00:13:38.480><c> live</c><00:13:38.879><c> by</c><00:13:39.220><c> faith.</c>

00:13:40.059 --> 00:13:42.559
And<00:13:40.240><c> now</c><00:13:40.679><c> this</c><00:13:41.080><c> is</c><00:13:41.299><c> the</c><00:13:41.440><c> message</c><00:13:41.799><c> to</c><00:13:42.059><c> ourselves</c>

is<00:13:44.980><c> that</c><00:13:45.120><c> we</c><00:13:45.299><c> have</c><00:13:45.600><c> to</c><00:13:45.840><c> have</c><00:13:46.000><c> that</c><00:13:46.320><c> kind</c><00:13:46.559><c> of</c><00:13:46.799><c> faith</c>

00:13:47.059 --> 00:13:48.779
where<00:13:47.580><c> we</c><00:13:48.000><c> trust</c><00:13:48.340><c> him</c>

00:13:48.779 --> 00:13:50.679
and<00:13:49.120><c> we</c><00:13:49.519><c> change</c><00:13:49.799><c> the</c><00:13:49.980><c> way</c><00:13:50.139><c> we</c><00:13:50.419><c> live</c>

00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:54.019
because<00:13:51.080><c> we</c><00:13:51.419><c> live</c><00:13:51.639><c> by</c><00:13:51.980><c> doing</c><00:13:52.320><c> God's</c><00:13:52.899><c> will,</c><00:13:53.480><c> not</c><00:13:53.519><c> our</c><00:13:53.820><c> own.</c>

00:13:54.299 --> 00:13:56.879
We<00:13:54.460><c> don't</c><00:13:54.639><c> want</c><00:13:54.740><c> to</c><00:13:54.840><c> be</c><00:13:54.919><c> those</c><00:13:55.139><c> who</c><00:13:55.379><c> draw</c><00:13:55.600><c> back</c><00:13:55.879><c> to</c><00:13:56.100><c> perdition</c>

00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:00.379
but<00:13:57.240><c> instead</c><00:13:57.659><c> those</c><00:13:57.879><c> who</c><00:13:58.200><c> believe</c><00:13:58.460><c> to</c><00:13:58.659><c> the</c><00:13:58.879><c> saving</c><00:13:59.139><c> of</c><00:13:59.440><c> the</c><00:13:59.620><c> soul.</c>

00:14:00.500 --> 00:14:02.620
So<00:14:00.720><c> when</c><00:14:00.860><c> you</c><00:14:00.960><c> get</c><00:14:01.159><c> to</c><00:14:01.340><c> Hebrews</c><00:14:01.539><c> 12</c><00:14:02.039><c> then</c>

00:14:02.620 --> 00:14:04.820
you're<00:14:02.919><c> going</c><00:14:03.019><c> through</c><00:14:03.279><c> all</c><00:14:03.460><c> those</c><00:14:03.659><c> cases</c><00:14:04.039><c> in</c><00:14:04.279><c> Hebrews</c><00:14:04.480><c> 11</c>

00:14:04.820 --> 00:14:07.159

00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:08.340
They<00:14:07.639><c> all</c><00:14:07.980><c> made</c><00:14:08.220><c> it.</c>

00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:09.679
They<00:14:08.659><c> endured</c><00:14:09.019><c> to</c><00:14:09.259><c> the</c><00:14:09.480><c> end</c>

00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:12.700
and<00:14:09.899><c> they</c><00:14:10.279><c> died</c><00:14:10.740><c> still</c><00:14:11.539><c> having</c><00:14:11.960><c> their</c><00:14:12.440><c> faith.</c>

00:14:13.100 --> 00:14:15.039
That's<00:14:13.399><c> the</c><00:14:13.440><c> way</c><00:14:13.539><c> the</c><00:14:13.759><c> NIV</c><00:14:14.039><c> actually</c><00:14:14.440><c> renders</c><00:14:14.840><c> that.</c>

00:14:15.100 --> 00:14:16.259
They<00:14:15.179><c> didn't</c><00:14:15.340><c> just</c><00:14:15.620><c> die</c><00:14:15.799><c> in</c><00:14:16.080><c> faith.</c>

00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:18.720
They<00:14:16.840><c> died</c><00:14:17.240><c> still</c><00:14:17.899><c> having</c><00:14:18.179><c> their</c><00:14:18.539><c> faith.</c>

00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:20.460
They<00:14:19.120><c> endured</c><00:14:19.500><c> to</c><00:14:20.039><c> the</c><00:14:20.279><c> end.</c>

00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:23.799
And<00:14:21.120><c> so</c><00:14:21.259><c> you</c><00:14:21.419><c> have</c><00:14:21.620><c> all</c><00:14:22.120><c> those</c><00:14:22.440><c> witnesses</c><00:14:22.919><c> surrounding</c><00:14:23.460><c> them</c>

00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:26.659
like<00:14:24.019><c> Paul</c><00:14:24.299><c> would</c><00:14:24.460><c> have</c><00:14:24.639><c> witnessed</c><00:14:25.000><c> in</c><00:14:25.259><c> the</c><00:14:25.679><c> Olympic</c><00:14:26.039><c> stadiums</c>

00:14:26.659 --> 00:14:28.980
and<00:14:26.720><c> they</c><00:14:26.919><c> put</c><00:14:27.059><c> up</c><00:14:27.279><c> all</c><00:14:27.480><c> their</c><00:14:27.639><c> little</c><00:14:28.200><c> cloud</c><00:14:28.440><c> of</c><00:14:28.720><c> witnesses</c>

00:14:28.980 --> 00:14:29.539
up<00:14:29.240><c> there</c>

00:14:29.539 --> 00:14:30.659
and<00:14:29.840><c> he</c><00:14:30.059><c> says,</c><00:14:30.419><c> look</c><00:14:30.539><c> it,</c>

00:14:30.659 --> 00:14:32.519
you're<00:14:30.919><c> surrounded</c><00:14:31.360><c> by</c><00:14:31.700><c> all</c><00:14:31.919><c> those</c><00:14:32.139><c> people,</c>

00:14:32.779 --> 00:14:34.940
all<00:14:32.940><c> those</c><00:14:33.200><c> witnesses</c><00:14:33.580><c> that</c><00:14:33.779><c> you</c><00:14:33.980><c> have</c><00:14:34.120><c> in</c><00:14:34.259><c> the</c><00:14:34.379><c> Old</c><00:14:34.580><c> Testament.</c>

00:14:35.419 --> 00:14:37.740
So<00:14:35.899><c> let</c><00:14:36.240><c> us</c><00:14:36.820><c> run</c><00:14:37.259><c> the</c><00:14:37.500><c> race</c>

00:14:37.740 --> 00:14:39.940
and<00:14:38.220><c> lay</c><00:14:38.500><c> aside</c><00:14:38.919><c> every</c><00:14:39.399><c> encumbrance</c>

00:14:39.940 --> 00:14:42.120
and<00:14:40.139><c> the</c><00:14:40.340><c> sin</c><00:14:40.440><c> which</c><00:14:40.700><c> so</c><00:14:40.980><c> easily</c><00:14:41.320><c> entangles</c><00:14:41.860><c> us</c>

00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:44.259
and<00:14:42.539><c> let</c><00:14:42.720><c> us</c><00:14:43.000><c> run</c><00:14:43.299><c> with</c><00:14:43.620><c> endurance.</c>

00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:47.000
That's<00:14:44.679><c> what</c><00:14:44.740><c> he's</c><00:14:45.039><c> trying</c><00:14:45.320><c> to</c><00:14:45.580><c> stress</c><00:14:45.759><c> to</c><00:14:45.960><c> these</c><00:14:46.120><c> Hebrews.</c>

00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:52.100
You<00:14:50.299><c> fix</c><00:14:50.580><c> your</c><00:14:50.899><c> eyes</c><00:14:51.179><c> on</c><00:14:51.559><c> Jesus.</c>

00:14:52.539 --> 00:14:54.139
You<00:14:52.740><c> know</c><00:14:52.740><c> when</c><00:14:52.779><c> you</c><00:14:53.000><c> do</c><00:14:53.200><c> that</c><00:14:53.360><c> when</c><00:14:53.480><c> you're</c><00:14:53.659><c> running</c><00:14:53.840><c> a</c><00:14:54.019><c> race</c>

00:14:54.139 --> 00:14:55.940
and<00:14:54.320><c> you</c><00:14:54.539><c> fix</c><00:14:54.740><c> your</c><00:14:55.000><c> eyes</c><00:14:55.159><c> on</c><00:14:55.340><c> where</c><00:14:55.519><c> you're</c><00:14:55.740><c> going</c>

00:14:57.139 --> 00:14:58.080
And<00:14:57.480><c> there</c><00:14:57.700><c> he</c><00:14:57.899><c> is.</c>

00:14:58.080 --> 00:14:59.000
He<00:14:58.320><c> made</c><00:14:58.559><c> it.</c>

00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:00.460
He's<00:14:59.340><c> at</c><00:14:59.600><c> the</c><00:14:59.799><c> finish</c><00:15:00.039><c> line</c>

00:15:00.460 --> 00:15:03.179

00:15:03.220 --> 00:15:06.000
He<00:15:03.360><c> is</c><00:15:03.620><c> the</c><00:15:03.899><c> author</c><00:15:04.220><c> and</c><00:15:04.620><c> perfecter</c><00:15:05.179><c> of</c><00:15:05.679><c> faith.</c>

00:15:06.419 --> 00:15:08.139
That's<00:15:06.720><c> what</c><00:15:07.080><c> motivated</c><00:15:07.679><c> him.</c>

00:15:08.460 --> 00:15:12.039
His<00:15:09.019><c> utter</c><00:15:09.379><c> trust</c><00:15:09.960><c> in</c><00:15:10.399><c> belief</c><00:15:10.639><c> that</c><00:15:10.879><c> God</c><00:15:11.100><c> was</c><00:15:11.320><c> in</c><00:15:11.539><c> control</c>

00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:14.460

00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:18.340
He<00:15:15.139><c> endured</c><00:15:15.580><c> as</c><00:15:16.019><c> seeing</c><00:15:16.320><c> the</c><00:15:16.759><c> invisible</c><00:15:17.279><c> as</c><00:15:17.600><c> Paul</c><00:15:17.879><c> says</c>

00:15:21.019 --> 00:15:23.940

00:15:23.940 --> 00:15:27.360
and<00:15:24.440><c> has</c><00:15:24.799><c> sat</c><00:15:25.039><c> down</c><00:15:25.460><c> at</c><00:15:25.679><c> the</c><00:15:25.860><c> right</c><00:15:26.139><c> hand</c><00:15:26.360><c> of</c><00:15:26.559><c> the</c><00:15:26.740><c> throne</c><00:15:26.879><c> of</c><00:15:27.139><c> God.</c>

00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:29.019
He<00:15:28.019><c> made</c><00:15:28.600><c> it.</c>

00:15:29.340 --> 00:15:31.659
He<00:15:29.539><c> didn't</c><00:15:29.820><c> just</c><00:15:30.240><c> die</c><00:15:30.720><c> in</c><00:15:31.379><c> faith.</c>

00:15:31.980 --> 00:15:33.919
He<00:15:32.139><c> has</c><00:15:32.440><c> been</c><00:15:32.679><c> resurrected</c><00:15:33.179><c> from</c><00:15:33.480><c> the</c><00:15:33.679><c> dead</c>

00:15:36.700 --> 00:15:39.120
So<00:15:36.720><c> consider</c><00:15:37.360><c> him</c><00:15:37.639><c> who's</c><00:15:37.919><c> endured</c><00:15:38.179><c> such</c><00:15:38.539><c> hostility</c>

00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:45.980

00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:30.940
God<00:16:26.580><c> sends</c><00:16:26.940><c> forth</c><00:16:27.279><c> his</c><00:16:27.580><c> son</c><00:16:27.980><c> and</c><00:16:28.539><c> God</c><00:16:29.720><c> sends</c><00:16:30.059><c> forth</c><00:16:30.340><c> his</c><00:16:30.519><c> own</c><00:16:30.779><c> arm</c>

the<00:17:55.240><c> same</c><00:17:55.740><c> Greek</c><00:17:56.059><c> construction</c><00:17:56.720><c> occurs</c><00:17:57.220><c> about</c><00:17:57.619><c> Abraham.</c>

00:17:58.819 --> 00:18:00.480
When<00:17:58.859><c> he</c><00:17:59.059><c> talks,</c><00:17:59.480><c> because</c><00:17:59.720><c> Paul</c><00:18:00.059><c> knows</c>

00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:02.440
that<00:18:00.660><c> they're</c><00:18:00.799><c> going</c><00:18:00.940><c> to</c><00:18:01.059><c> want</c><00:18:01.240><c> Old</c><00:18:01.539><c> Testament</c><00:18:02.019><c> proof</c>

00:18:05.019 --> 00:18:07.019
So<00:18:05.220><c> he</c><00:18:05.339><c> goes</c><00:18:05.619><c> back</c><00:18:05.900><c> and</c><00:18:06.079><c> he</c><00:18:06.220><c> uses</c><00:18:06.400><c> Abraham</c>

00:18:07.019 --> 00:18:09.279
and<00:18:07.240><c> he</c><00:18:07.319><c> uses</c><00:18:07.579><c> David</c><00:18:08.059><c> to</c><00:18:08.319><c> support</c><00:18:08.619><c> his</c><00:18:08.839><c> idea</c>

00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:11.460
and<00:18:09.599><c> says,</c><00:18:10.039><c> look,</c><00:18:10.099><c> it</c><00:18:10.180><c> was</c><00:18:10.400><c> written</c><00:18:10.640><c> in</c><00:18:10.819><c> your</c><00:18:11.039><c> Bibles.</c>

00:18:11.579 --> 00:18:12.539
Read<00:18:11.880><c> it</c><00:18:12.039><c> yourselves.</c>

00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:13.900
It<00:18:12.700><c> was</c><00:18:12.940><c> there</c><00:18:13.180><c> all</c><00:18:13.500><c> along.</c>

00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:16.799
Abraham,<00:18:14.960><c> the</c><00:18:15.180><c> father</c><00:18:15.519><c> of</c><00:18:15.779><c> the</c><00:18:15.960><c> faithful.</c>

00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:18.440
And<00:18:17.200><c> so</c><00:18:17.299><c> he</c><00:18:17.400><c> goes</c><00:18:17.619><c> back</c><00:18:17.859><c> to</c><00:18:18.099><c> Abraham,</c>

00:18:18.579 --> 00:18:20.099
the<00:18:18.740><c> father</c><00:18:19.079><c> of</c><00:18:19.440><c> circumcision,</c>

00:18:20.099 --> 00:18:22.420
who<00:18:20.559><c> are</c><00:18:20.819><c> not</c><00:18:21.220><c> of</c><00:18:21.519><c> the</c><00:18:21.920><c> circumcision,</c>

00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:27.500
but<00:18:24.339><c> who</c><00:18:24.700><c> also</c><00:18:25.140><c> walk</c><00:18:25.519><c> in</c><00:18:25.779><c> the</c><00:18:26.059><c> steps</c><00:18:26.380><c> of</c><00:18:26.819><c> the</c><00:18:27.160><c> faith,</c>

00:18:27.859 --> 00:18:29.579
which<00:18:28.079><c> our</c><00:18:28.299><c> father</c><00:18:28.720><c> Abraham</c><00:18:29.200><c> had</c>

00:18:29.579 --> 00:18:31.500
while<00:18:29.779><c> he</c><00:18:29.960><c> was</c><00:18:30.200><c> still</c><00:18:30.420><c> uncircumcised.</c>

00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:33.420
And<00:18:31.859><c> Paul</c><00:18:32.059><c> develops</c><00:18:32.400><c> this</c><00:18:32.640><c> argument</c><00:18:32.980><c> and</c><00:18:33.119><c> he</c><00:18:33.240><c> says,</c>

00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:36.180
all<00:18:33.660><c> right,</c><00:18:33.880><c> you</c><00:18:33.980><c> guys</c><00:18:34.180><c> all</c><00:18:34.420><c> realize</c><00:18:34.819><c> that</c><00:18:35.079><c> Abraham</c><00:18:35.480><c> believed</c><00:18:35.900><c> God</c>

00:18:36.180 --> 00:18:37.660
and<00:18:36.319><c> it</c><00:18:36.440><c> was</c><00:18:36.619><c> reckoned</c><00:18:36.839><c> to</c><00:18:36.900><c> him</c><00:18:37.059><c> for</c><00:18:37.279><c> righteousness.</c>

00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:40.740
And<00:18:38.279><c> he</c><00:18:38.480><c> says</c><00:18:38.700><c> timeline</c><00:18:39.279><c> time</c><00:18:39.720><c> on</c><00:18:40.140><c> the</c><00:18:40.380><c> timeline.</c>

00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:43.900
When<00:18:41.680><c> did</c><00:18:42.279><c> God</c><00:18:42.660><c> do</c><00:18:43.000><c> that?</c>

00:18:44.019 --> 00:18:48.140
When<00:18:44.240><c> did</c><00:18:44.420><c> he</c><00:18:44.779><c> reckon</c><00:18:45.079><c> Abraham</c><00:18:45.660><c> righteous</c><00:18:46.519><c> by</c><00:18:47.640><c> faith?</c>

00:18:48.140 --> 00:18:52.420
Was<00:18:48.920><c> that</c><00:18:49.339><c> before</c><00:18:49.779><c> he</c><00:18:49.940><c> was</c><00:18:50.240><c> circumcised</c><00:18:50.920><c> or</c><00:18:51.099><c> was</c><00:18:51.299><c> that</c><00:18:51.480><c> after?</c>

00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:54.279
When<00:18:53.019><c> was</c><00:18:53.240><c> it?</c>

00:18:55.059 --> 00:18:56.599
You<00:18:55.240><c> ever</c><00:18:55.380><c> thought</c><00:18:55.559><c> of</c><00:18:55.660><c> that</c><00:18:55.799><c> before?</c>

00:18:57.099 --> 00:18:58.140
No.

00:18:58.240 --> 00:18:59.880
Read<00:18:58.359><c> Romans</c><00:18:58.680><c> 4.</c>

00:19:00.700 --> 00:19:02.900
See,<00:19:01.160><c> Paul</c><00:19:01.400><c> knows</c><00:19:01.740><c> the</c><00:19:02.039><c> Jews</c><00:19:02.220><c> so</c><00:19:02.680><c> well.</c>

00:19:03.220 --> 00:19:05.019
He<00:19:03.220><c> just,</c><00:19:03.759><c> that's</c><00:19:03.980><c> why</c><00:19:04.079><c> he</c><00:19:04.180><c> was</c><00:19:04.319><c> the</c><00:19:04.460><c> perfect</c><00:19:04.839><c> one</c>

00:19:05.019 --> 00:19:06.160
to<00:19:05.099><c> go</c><00:19:05.240><c> back</c><00:19:05.440><c> and</c><00:19:05.559><c> talk</c><00:19:05.779><c> to</c><00:19:05.960><c> them.</c>

00:19:06.380 --> 00:19:07.460
So<00:19:06.640><c> when</c><00:19:06.859><c> was</c><00:19:07.119><c> that?</c>

00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:11.539
When<00:19:08.019><c> did</c><00:19:08.279><c> God</c><00:19:08.579><c> count</c><00:19:08.960><c> Abraham</c><00:19:09.579><c> righteous</c><00:19:10.119><c> by</c><00:19:10.640><c> faith?</c>

00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:14.339
Before<00:19:12.059><c> he</c><00:19:12.220><c> was</c><00:19:12.500><c> circumcised</c><00:19:13.180><c> or</c><00:19:13.420><c> after?</c>

00:19:15.180 --> 00:19:17.579
Now<00:19:15.819><c> you</c><00:19:15.920><c> have</c><00:19:16.099><c> to</c><00:19:16.299><c> think,</c><00:19:16.539><c> Genesis.</c>

00:19:18.339 --> 00:19:20.660
When<00:19:18.720><c> did</c><00:19:19.019><c> he</c><00:19:19.240><c> say</c><00:19:19.619><c> that</c><00:19:19.819><c> he</c><00:19:20.000><c> believed</c><00:19:20.339><c> God</c>

00:19:20.660 --> 00:19:22.259
and<00:19:20.779><c> it</c><00:19:20.900><c> was</c><00:19:21.140><c> reckoned</c><00:19:21.380><c> to</c><00:19:21.460><c> him</c><00:19:21.660><c> for</c><00:19:21.920><c> righteousness?</c>

00:19:22.460 --> 00:19:23.619
Where<00:19:22.660><c> is</c><00:19:22.920><c> that?</c>

00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:30.240
Genesis<00:19:24.279><c> 15.</c>

00:19:30.539 --> 00:19:33.619
When<00:19:31.000><c> was</c><00:19:31.359><c> Abraham</c><00:19:31.920><c> circumcised?</c>

00:19:36.619 --> 00:19:38.400
Genesis<00:19:37.259><c> 17.</c>

00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:39.559
You're<00:19:38.779><c> close.</c>

00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:42.900
So,<00:19:40.920><c> was</c><00:19:41.059><c> he</c><00:19:41.380><c> reckoned</c><00:19:41.720><c> righteous</c><00:19:42.220><c> by</c><00:19:42.599><c> faith</c>

00:19:42.900 --> 00:19:46.240
before<00:19:43.460><c> or</c><00:19:43.700><c> after</c><00:19:44.299><c> he</c><00:19:44.440><c> was</c><00:19:44.720><c> circumcised?</c>

00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:47.420
Before.

00:19:47.660 --> 00:19:50.859
And<00:19:47.779><c> so</c><00:19:47.980><c> Paul</c><00:19:48.140><c> says,</c><00:19:48.579><c> look,</c><00:19:48.940><c> you</c><00:19:49.160><c> don't</c><00:19:49.400><c> need</c><00:19:49.660><c> circumcision.</c>

00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:54.259
God<00:19:51.160><c> counted</c><00:19:51.960><c> Abraham</c><00:19:52.680><c> righteous</c><00:19:53.339><c> by</c><00:19:53.920><c> faith</c>

00:19:54.740 --> 00:19:56.420
before<00:19:55.220><c> he</c><00:19:55.400><c> was</c><00:19:55.619><c> ever</c><00:19:55.940><c> circumcised.</c>

00:19:56.740 --> 00:19:58.900
See,<00:19:56.960><c> this</c><00:19:57.200><c> is</c><00:19:57.460><c> the</c><00:19:57.640><c> logic</c><00:19:57.960><c> of</c><00:19:58.160><c> the</c><00:19:58.319><c> Apostle</c><00:19:58.700><c> Paul.</c>

00:19:58.940 --> 00:20:01.039
He<00:19:59.099><c> really</c><00:19:59.500><c> is</c><00:19:59.759><c> one</c><00:19:59.980><c> of</c><00:20:00.079><c> our</c><00:20:00.380><c> greatest</c><00:20:00.680><c> writers.</c>

00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:04.319
He<00:20:01.619><c> gives</c><00:20:01.859><c> the</c><00:20:02.319><c> best</c><00:20:02.759><c> expositions</c><00:20:03.480><c> of</c><00:20:03.700><c> the</c><00:20:03.819><c> Old</c><00:20:04.019><c> Testament</c>

00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:05.359
you<00:20:04.500><c> could</c><00:20:04.680><c> ever</c><00:20:04.920><c> imagine.</c>

00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:07.839
With<00:20:05.880><c> things</c><00:20:06.079><c> that</c><00:20:06.240><c> we</c><00:20:06.359><c> just</c><00:20:06.579><c> read</c><00:20:06.759><c> over</c><00:20:06.960><c> and</c><00:20:07.079><c> we</c><00:20:07.160><c> don't</c><00:20:07.279><c> even</c><00:20:07.539><c> notice,</c>

00:20:07.940 --> 00:20:10.079
who<00:20:08.059><c> would</c><00:20:08.160><c> have</c><00:20:08.240><c> ever</c><00:20:08.380><c> even</c><00:20:08.660><c> think</c><00:20:08.839><c> to</c><00:20:09.160><c> sequence</c><00:20:09.559><c> timeline</c>

00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:11.220
about<00:20:10.539><c> stuff</c><00:20:10.740><c> like</c><00:20:11.000><c> that.</c>

00:20:11.220 --> 00:20:13.319
But<00:20:11.720><c> he</c><00:20:11.839><c> goes</c><00:20:12.019><c> on</c><00:20:12.279><c> and</c><00:20:12.440><c> says</c><00:20:12.559><c> in</c><00:20:12.700><c> verse</c><00:20:12.900><c> 16,</c>

00:20:13.579 --> 00:20:16.420
Therefore<00:20:13.759><c> it</c><00:20:13.980><c> is</c><00:20:14.180><c> of</c><00:20:14.500><c> faith</c><00:20:14.799><c> that</c><00:20:15.240><c> it</c><00:20:15.440><c> might</c><00:20:15.680><c> be</c><00:20:16.000><c> according</c>

00:20:16.420 --> 00:20:17.339
to<00:20:16.960><c> grace.</c>

00:20:17.740 --> 00:20:19.880
This<00:20:17.900><c> is</c><00:20:18.079><c> what</c><00:20:18.259><c> God</c><00:20:18.480><c> had</c><00:20:18.779><c> always</c><00:20:19.240><c> intended,</c>

00:20:20.119 --> 00:20:22.900
that<00:20:20.480><c> everyone</c><00:20:21.059><c> would</c><00:20:21.299><c> be</c><00:20:21.599><c> saved</c><00:20:21.859><c> by</c><00:20:22.079><c> the</c><00:20:22.299><c> grace</c><00:20:22.460><c> of</c><00:20:22.700><c> God.</c>

00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:25.759
Everyone<00:20:23.799><c> would</c><00:20:24.160><c> be</c><00:20:24.400><c> saved</c><00:20:24.700><c> by</c><00:20:24.940><c> the</c><00:20:25.079><c> grace</c><00:20:25.240><c> of</c><00:20:25.440><c> God.</c>

00:20:26.059 --> 00:20:29.200
So<00:20:26.259><c> that</c><00:20:26.440><c> the</c><00:20:26.759><c> promise</c><00:20:27.180><c> might</c><00:20:27.460><c> be</c><00:20:27.819><c> sure</c><00:20:28.019><c> to</c><00:20:28.319><c> all</c><00:20:28.680><c> the</c><00:20:28.920><c> seed,</c>

00:20:35.619 --> 00:20:38.579
Now<00:20:35.880><c> see</c><00:20:36.039><c> how</c><00:20:36.240><c> it</c><00:20:36.460><c> renders</c><00:20:36.859><c> that</c><00:20:37.079><c> there</c><00:20:37.319><c> in</c><00:20:37.759><c> your</c><00:20:37.980><c> Bible</c><00:20:38.279><c> even?</c>

00:20:38.579 --> 00:20:41.279
It<00:20:39.039><c> says</c><00:20:39.240><c> who</c><00:20:39.519><c> are</c><00:20:39.880><c> of</c><00:20:40.119><c> the</c><00:20:40.359><c> faith</c><00:20:40.579><c> of</c><00:20:40.839><c> Abraham.</c>

00:20:41.539 --> 00:20:43.660
It<00:20:41.680><c> doesn't</c><00:20:41.960><c> say</c><00:20:42.180><c> who</c><00:20:42.420><c> have</c><00:20:42.640><c> faith</c><00:20:42.900><c> in</c><00:20:43.200><c> Abraham.</c>

00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:46.140
It<00:20:44.140><c> says</c><00:20:44.319><c> who</c><00:20:44.579><c> are</c><00:20:44.799><c> of</c><00:20:44.980><c> the</c><00:20:45.220><c> faith</c><00:20:45.420><c> of</c><00:20:45.660><c> Abraham,</c>

which<00:20:46.599><c> is</c><00:20:46.900><c> exactly</c><00:20:47.500><c> what</c><00:20:47.740><c> it</c><00:20:47.980><c> should</c><00:20:48.079><c> have</c><00:20:48.279><c> said</c><00:20:48.420><c> back</c><00:20:48.660><c> in</c>

00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:49.759
chapter<00:20:49.039><c> three.</c>

00:20:49.940 --> 00:20:52.980
God<00:20:50.180><c> always</c><00:20:50.700><c> has</c><00:20:50.980><c> intended</c><00:20:51.460><c> those</c><00:20:51.960><c> to</c><00:20:52.220><c> save</c><00:20:52.480><c> those</c>

00:20:52.980 --> 00:20:55.240
who<00:20:53.380><c> have</c><00:20:53.559><c> the</c><00:20:53.900><c> faith</c><00:20:54.220><c> of</c><00:20:54.519><c> Jesus</c><00:20:54.819><c> Christ.</c>

00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:57.779
That<00:20:55.839><c> has</c><00:20:56.079><c> been</c><00:20:56.240><c> the</c><00:20:56.660><c> one</c><00:20:57.180><c> mechanism</c>

00:20:57.779 --> 00:20:59.920
he<00:20:58.200><c> ever</c><00:20:58.559><c> established</c><00:20:59.099><c> from</c><00:20:59.359><c> the</c><00:20:59.599><c> beginning</c>

00:20:59.920 --> 00:21:01.839
that<00:21:00.380><c> if</c><00:21:00.599><c> you</c><00:21:00.839><c> want</c><00:21:00.940><c> to</c><00:21:01.039><c> be</c><00:21:01.160><c> in</c><00:21:01.240><c> his</c><00:21:01.460><c> family,</c>

00:21:02.019 --> 00:21:03.099
you<00:21:02.299><c> want</c><00:21:02.460><c> to</c><00:21:02.559><c> be</c><00:21:02.799><c> saved,</c>

00:21:03.420 --> 00:21:06.799
then<00:21:03.619><c> develop</c><00:21:04.160><c> the</c><00:21:04.539><c> faith</c><00:21:04.759><c> that</c><00:21:04.980><c> Messiah</c><00:21:05.480><c> will</c><00:21:05.839><c> have</c><00:21:06.140><c> a</c><00:21:06.539><c> faith</c>

00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:08.640
which<00:21:07.019><c> leads</c><00:21:07.400><c> to</c><00:21:07.660><c> obedience.</c>

00:21:09.220 --> 00:21:10.940
Paul<00:21:09.400><c> starts</c><00:21:09.759><c> out</c><00:21:09.980><c> Romans</c><00:21:10.259><c> one</c><00:21:10.480><c> with</c><00:21:10.700><c> that</c>

00:21:10.940 --> 00:21:13.059
and<00:21:11.079><c> he</c><00:21:11.180><c> ends</c><00:21:11.400><c> up</c><00:21:11.579><c> Romans</c><00:21:11.900><c> 16</c><00:21:12.359><c> with</c><00:21:12.619><c> that.</c>

00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:15.019
Faith<00:21:13.680><c> leading</c><00:21:14.299><c> to</c><00:21:14.619><c> obedience.</c>

00:21:15.299 --> 00:21:18.500
And<00:21:15.440><c> he</c><00:21:15.579><c> just</c><00:21:15.960><c> saw</c><00:21:16.079><c> it</c><00:21:16.339><c> so</c><00:21:16.640><c> clear</c><00:21:17.019><c> of</c><00:21:17.240><c> what</c><00:21:17.400><c> God</c><00:21:17.640><c> was</c><00:21:17.920><c> trying</c><00:21:18.099><c> to</c><00:21:18.299><c> do.</c>

00:21:18.819 --> 00:21:20.799
You<00:21:19.079><c> have</c><00:21:19.279><c> to</c><00:21:19.519><c> have</c><00:21:19.740><c> the</c><00:21:20.039><c> faith</c><00:21:20.180><c> of</c><00:21:20.380><c> Abraham</c>

00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:23.619
and<00:21:21.299><c> Abraham</c><00:21:21.720><c> had</c><00:21:22.059><c> the</c><00:21:22.420><c> faith</c><00:21:22.660><c> of</c><00:21:22.859><c> Jesus</c><00:21:23.180><c> Christ.</c>

00:21:23.940 --> 00:21:27.059
And<00:21:24.279><c> that's</c><00:21:24.599><c> the</c><00:21:24.799><c> goal</c><00:21:25.059><c> is</c><00:21:25.240><c> that</c><00:21:25.440><c> we</c><00:21:25.700><c> study</c><00:21:25.980><c> these</c><00:21:26.240><c> Bible</c><00:21:26.500><c> characters.</c>

00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:29.319
You<00:21:27.500><c> study</c><00:21:27.740><c> Joseph,</c><00:21:28.319><c> you</c><00:21:28.579><c> study</c><00:21:28.900><c> Moses,</c>

00:21:29.539 --> 00:21:33.339
you<00:21:29.920><c> study</c><00:21:30.259><c> all</c><00:21:30.559><c> these</c><00:21:30.839><c> characters</c><00:21:31.420><c> to</c><00:21:31.980><c> learn</c><00:21:32.220><c> about</c><00:21:32.559><c> their</c><00:21:32.960><c> faith</c>

00:21:33.339 --> 00:21:36.420
because<00:21:33.940><c> they</c><00:21:34.380><c> had</c><00:21:34.740><c> the</c><00:21:35.079><c> faith</c><00:21:35.339><c> of</c><00:21:35.539><c> Jesus</c><00:21:35.920><c> Christ.</c>

00:21:36.859 --> 00:21:39.900
So<00:21:37.160><c> we</c><00:21:37.259><c> can</c><00:21:37.579><c> identify</c><00:21:38.099><c> with</c><00:21:38.339><c> them</c><00:21:38.579><c> and</c><00:21:38.799><c> develop</c><00:21:39.220><c> their</c><00:21:39.559><c> faith</c>

00:21:39.900 --> 00:21:43.240
in<00:21:40.420><c> which</c><00:21:40.720><c> case</c><00:21:40.940><c> we're</c><00:21:41.180><c> really</c><00:21:41.460><c> getting</c><00:21:41.680><c> the</c><00:21:42.000><c> faith</c><00:21:42.160><c> of</c><00:21:42.339><c> Jesus.</c>

00:21:43.539 --> 00:21:46.259
So,<00:21:44.140><c> and</c><00:21:44.259><c> in</c><00:21:44.420><c> the</c><00:21:44.559><c> end,</c><00:21:44.779><c> when</c><00:21:44.880><c> you</c><00:21:44.980><c> look</c><00:21:45.140><c> at</c><00:21:45.279><c> the</c><00:21:45.420><c> whole</c><00:21:45.660><c> plan</c><00:21:45.980><c> really,</c>

00:21:46.279 --> 00:21:47.660
if<00:21:46.460><c> we</c><00:21:46.660><c> leave</c><00:21:46.799><c> out</c><00:21:47.019><c> the</c><00:21:47.140><c> love</c><00:21:47.259><c> of</c><00:21:47.420><c> God,</c>

00:21:47.779 --> 00:21:49.799
we've<00:21:47.980><c> missed</c><00:21:48.180><c> a</c><00:21:48.480><c> huge</c><00:21:48.680><c> component</c><00:21:49.200><c> of</c><00:21:49.420><c> all</c><00:21:49.579><c> this</c>

00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:52.759
because<00:21:50.339><c> God</c><00:21:50.759><c> did</c><00:21:51.039><c> all</c><00:21:51.220><c> this</c><00:21:51.519><c> because</c><00:21:51.839><c> he</c><00:21:52.039><c> loves</c><00:21:52.299><c> us.</c>

00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:55.599
And<00:21:53.299><c> that's</c><00:21:53.539><c> why</c><00:21:53.859><c> people</c><00:21:54.319><c> throw</c><00:21:54.660><c> first</c><00:21:54.960><c> John</c><00:21:55.240><c> 3,</c>

00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:57.779
John<00:21:56.220><c> 3</c><00:21:56.579><c> 16</c><00:21:56.940><c> around</c><00:21:57.220><c> all</c><00:21:57.440><c> the</c><00:21:57.619><c> time</c>

00:21:57.779 --> 00:21:59.740
without<00:21:58.099><c> realizing</c><00:21:58.640><c> what</c><00:21:58.859><c> it</c><00:21:59.140><c> really</c><00:21:59.440><c> meant.</c>

00:22:00.220 --> 00:22:02.400
But<00:22:00.539><c> God</c><00:22:00.900><c> really</c><00:22:01.440><c> did</c><00:22:01.680><c> love</c><00:22:01.880><c> the</c><00:22:02.140><c> world.</c>

00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:04.880
So<00:22:02.619><c> where</c><00:22:02.720><c> he</c><00:22:03.000><c> gave</c><00:22:03.279><c> his</c><00:22:03.559><c> only</c><00:22:04.019><c> begotten</c><00:22:04.519><c> son,</c>

00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:06.480
as<00:22:05.259><c> we're</c><00:22:05.460><c> gonna</c><00:22:05.660><c> study</c><00:22:06.019><c> tomorrow</c>

00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:07.880
when<00:22:06.680><c> we</c><00:22:06.799><c> look</c><00:22:06.920><c> at</c><00:22:07.059><c> the</c><00:22:07.220><c> crucifixion,</c>

00:22:08.299 --> 00:22:10.200
this<00:22:08.500><c> was</c><00:22:08.799><c> tough</c><00:22:09.160><c> when</c><00:22:09.359><c> you</c><00:22:09.539><c> go</c><00:22:09.640><c> into</c><00:22:09.859><c> that.</c>

00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:11.700
What<00:22:10.640><c> he</c><00:22:10.819><c> had</c><00:22:11.019><c> to</c><00:22:11.279><c> watch.</c>

00:22:12.059 --> 00:22:14.160
He<00:22:12.279><c> put</c><00:22:12.559><c> Abraham</c><00:22:13.160><c> through</c><00:22:13.460><c> it</c><00:22:13.599><c> with</c><00:22:13.799><c> Isaac</c>

00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:16.359
so<00:22:14.400><c> that</c><00:22:14.680><c> all</c><00:22:14.880><c> of</c><00:22:15.019><c> us</c><00:22:15.160><c> would</c><00:22:15.359><c> be</c><00:22:15.500><c> able</c><00:22:15.660><c> to</c><00:22:15.920><c> understand</c>

00:22:16.359 --> 00:22:19.220

00:24:34.500 --> 00:24:36.680
That's<00:24:35.099><c> what</c><00:24:35.279><c> Paul</c><00:24:35.559><c> was</c><00:24:35.799><c> after</c><00:24:36.119><c> there,</c>

00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:56.779
We<00:24:55.460><c> looked</c><00:24:55.660><c> at</c><00:24:55.880><c> Jesus</c><00:24:56.220><c> Christ</c><00:24:56.539><c> and</c><00:24:56.660><c> said,</c>

how<00:24:56.980><c> did</c><00:24:57.140><c> he</c><00:24:57.319><c> esteem</c><00:24:57.619><c> others</c><00:24:57.900><c> better</c><00:24:58.200><c> than</c><00:24:58.339><c> themselves</c>

00:24:58.779 --> 00:25:00.400
when<00:24:58.960><c> he</c><00:24:59.160><c> was</c><00:24:59.339><c> the</c><00:24:59.539><c> best?</c>

00:25:00.539 --> 00:25:02.220

00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:07.259
You<00:25:05.059><c> count</c><00:25:05.220><c> them</c><00:25:05.500><c> better</c><00:25:05.819><c> in</c><00:25:06.059><c> terms</c><00:25:06.380><c> of</c><00:25:06.599><c> their</c><00:25:06.819><c> ranking</c>

00:25:07.259 --> 00:25:10.500
because<00:25:07.960><c> you</c><00:25:08.259><c> realize</c><00:25:08.839><c> that</c><00:25:09.380><c> like</c><00:25:09.819><c> Christ</c><00:25:10.119><c> did,</c>

00:25:10.900 --> 00:25:14.859
we<00:25:11.140><c> looked</c><00:25:11.299><c> at</c><00:25:11.519><c> in</c><00:25:11.579><c> Hebrews,</c><00:25:12.039><c> his</c><00:25:12.380><c> goal</c><00:25:12.920><c> was</c><00:25:13.319><c> to</c><00:25:13.759><c> save</c><00:25:13.980><c> himself</c>

00:25:14.859 --> 00:25:18.019

00:25:20.980 --> 00:25:22.700
And<00:25:21.420><c> so</c><00:25:21.720><c> Paul</c><00:25:22.039><c> says</c><00:25:22.440><c> that,</c>

00:25:22.819 --> 00:25:24.700

Or<00:30:45.000><c> we</c><00:30:45.160><c> looked</c><00:30:45.319><c> at</c><00:30:45.519><c> it</c><00:30:45.640><c> in</c><00:30:45.759><c> 1</c><00:30:45.839><c> Corinthians</c><00:30:46.220><c> 1</c>

00:30:46.599 --> 00:30:49.079
how<00:30:46.839><c> Paul</c><00:30:47.099><c> had</c><00:30:47.359><c> used</c><00:30:47.599><c> that</c><00:30:47.779><c> about</c><00:30:48.059><c> the</c><00:30:48.359><c> power</c><00:30:48.619><c> of</c><00:30:48.859><c> God</c>

00:30:53.640 --> 00:30:54.980
We<00:30:53.779><c> looked</c><00:30:53.980><c> at</c><00:30:54.140><c> that</c><00:30:54.299><c> the</c><00:30:54.420><c> other</c><00:30:54.640><c> day.</c>

00:30:58.400 --> 00:31:00.160
I<00:30:58.559><c> can</c><00:30:58.720><c> remember</c><00:30:59.000><c> growing</c><00:30:59.240><c> up</c><00:30:59.460><c> as</c><00:30:59.619><c> a</c><00:30:59.660><c> young</c><00:30:59.839><c> person</c>

00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:02.640
thinking<00:31:00.539><c> that</c><00:31:00.839><c> people</c><00:31:01.319><c> were</c><00:31:01.579><c> saved</c><00:31:01.839><c> in</c><00:31:02.019><c> different</c><00:31:02.240><c> ways</c>

00:31:05.220 --> 00:31:07.279
Maybe<00:31:05.440><c> Abraham</c><00:31:05.839><c> was</c><00:31:06.099><c> saved</c><00:31:06.339><c> by</c><00:31:06.660><c> circumcision</c>

00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:09.059
and<00:31:07.619><c> we</c><00:31:07.940><c> get</c><00:31:08.140><c> saved</c><00:31:08.359><c> by</c><00:31:08.619><c> baptism</c>

00:31:09.059 --> 00:31:11.019
and<00:31:09.579><c> I</c><00:31:09.799><c> was</c><00:31:09.980><c> thinking</c><00:31:10.240><c> in</c><00:31:10.420><c> my</c><00:31:10.599><c> own</c><00:31:10.839><c> mind</c>

00:31:11.019 --> 00:31:13.759
that<00:31:11.160><c> God</c><00:31:11.359><c> was</c><00:31:11.640><c> like</c><00:31:11.900><c> changing</c><00:31:12.140><c> the</c><00:31:12.359><c> rules</c><00:31:12.559><c> all</c><00:31:12.819><c> the</c><00:31:12.980><c> time.</c>

00:31:13.920 --> 00:31:15.140
But<00:31:14.140><c> it</c><00:31:14.279><c> really</c><00:31:14.519><c> isn't</c><00:31:14.720><c> true.</c>

00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:18.440
There<00:31:15.480><c> is</c><00:31:15.960><c> only</c><00:31:16.400><c> one</c><00:31:17.119><c> method</c><00:31:17.660><c> of</c><00:31:17.960><c> salvation.</c>

00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:19.759
One.

00:31:19.779 --> 00:31:21.339
And<00:31:20.039><c> it</c><00:31:20.279><c> always</c><00:31:20.720><c> has</c><00:31:20.920><c> been</c><00:31:21.059><c> there.</c>

00:31:21.420 --> 00:31:22.559
It's<00:31:21.680><c> always</c><00:31:21.920><c> been</c><00:31:22.119><c> available.</c>

00:31:22.779 --> 00:31:25.799
It's<00:31:23.099><c> just</c><00:31:23.299><c> been</c><00:31:23.700><c> revealed</c><00:31:24.180><c> in</c><00:31:24.579><c> different</c><00:31:24.839><c> ways.</c>

00:31:25.819 --> 00:31:28.160

00:31:38.220 --> 00:31:39.519
and<00:31:38.599><c> then</c><00:31:38.720><c> he</c><00:31:38.960><c> said</c><00:31:39.099><c> to</c><00:31:39.180><c> them</c><00:31:39.359><c> all</c>

00:31:51.099 --> 00:31:52.839

and<00:32:05.279><c> do</c><00:32:05.680><c> God's</c><00:32:06.380><c> will.</c>

00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:08.160
That's<00:32:07.000><c> what</c><00:32:07.200><c> Jesus</c><00:32:07.559><c> was</c><00:32:07.819><c> doing.</c>

00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:10.119

how<00:32:16.000><c> Romans</c><00:32:16.359><c> 8</c><00:32:16.599><c> would</c><00:32:16.779><c> have</c><00:32:17.000><c> applied</c><00:32:17.220><c> as</c><00:32:17.680><c> well</c>

00:32:20.900 --> 00:32:24.720
because<00:32:21.480><c> he's</c><00:32:22.240><c> condemned</c><00:32:22.759><c> sin</c><00:32:23.359><c> in</c><00:32:23.720><c> the</c><00:32:23.900><c> flesh.</c>

00:32:24.859 --> 00:32:27.519

He's<00:35:07.619><c> growing</c><00:35:08.039><c> in</c><00:35:08.239><c> us</c><00:35:08.500><c> a</c><00:35:08.860><c> new</c><00:35:09.300><c> seed.</c>

00:35:09.619 --> 00:35:11.500
He's<00:35:09.880><c> implanted</c><00:35:10.320><c> a</c><00:35:10.679><c> seed</c><00:35:10.780><c> in</c><00:35:10.940><c> our</c><00:35:11.199><c> mind</c>

00:35:11.500 --> 00:35:13.599
through<00:35:12.059><c> what</c><00:35:12.340><c> Christ</c><00:35:12.699><c> has</c><00:35:12.960><c> done</c><00:35:13.159><c> for</c><00:35:13.380><c> us</c>

00:35:13.599 --> 00:35:15.260
and<00:35:13.760><c> the</c><00:35:13.980><c> love</c><00:35:14.099><c> of</c><00:35:14.300><c> God</c><00:35:14.619><c> in</c><00:35:14.800><c> doing</c><00:35:14.960><c> all</c><00:35:15.079><c> this.</c>

00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:17.940
And<00:35:15.559><c> this</c><00:35:15.820><c> seed</c><00:35:16.039><c> is</c><00:35:16.280><c> now</c><00:35:16.440><c> changing</c><00:35:17.199><c> our</c><00:35:17.519><c> brain.</c>

00:35:18.320 --> 00:35:20.059
It's<00:35:18.559><c> growing</c><00:35:18.940><c> and</c><00:35:19.199><c> reprogramming</c>

00:35:20.059 --> 00:35:22.559
and<00:35:20.159><c> it's</c><00:35:20.460><c> developing</c><00:35:20.880><c> a</c><00:35:21.300><c> fruit</c><00:35:21.460><c> of</c><00:35:21.659><c> the</c><00:35:21.900><c> Spirit</c><00:35:22.159><c> in</c><00:35:22.320><c> us.</c>

00:35:22.980 --> 00:35:24.980
And<00:35:23.199><c> this</c><00:35:23.420><c> was</c><00:35:23.639><c> God's</c><00:35:24.059><c> plan</c><00:35:24.280><c> all</c><00:35:24.659><c> along,</c>

00:35:25.079 --> 00:35:26.519
that<00:35:25.179><c> this</c><00:35:25.420><c> is</c><00:35:25.639><c> the</c><00:35:25.739><c> way</c><00:35:25.900><c> it</c><00:35:26.059><c> would</c><00:35:26.280><c> work.</c>

00:35:26.960 --> 00:35:28.780
I<00:35:27.179><c> always</c><00:35:27.460><c> found</c><00:35:27.659><c> this</c><00:35:27.900><c> one</c><00:35:28.039><c> really</c><00:35:28.360><c> fascinating.</c>

00:35:28.940 --> 00:35:30.519
I<00:35:29.000><c> can</c><00:35:29.260><c> still</c><00:35:29.440><c> remember</c><00:35:29.760><c> the</c><00:35:29.900><c> day</c><00:35:30.079><c> I</c><00:35:30.179><c> was</c><00:35:30.280><c> listening</c>

00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:32.539
to<00:35:30.679><c> the</c><00:35:30.739><c> tape</c><00:35:30.940><c> John</c><00:35:31.179><c> Martin</c><00:35:31.420><c> did</c><00:35:31.760><c> on</c><00:35:32.199><c> this</c><00:35:32.400><c> one</c>

00:35:32.539 --> 00:35:33.739
and<00:35:32.699><c> it</c><00:35:32.820><c> just</c><00:35:33.019><c> blew</c><00:35:33.179><c> my</c><00:35:33.500><c> mind</c>

00:35:33.739 --> 00:35:35.000
because<00:35:34.099><c> as</c><00:35:34.400><c> Christadelphians,</c>

00:35:35.079 --> 00:35:37.159
we<00:35:35.360><c> know</c><00:35:35.659><c> the</c><00:35:35.920><c> promises</c><00:35:36.199><c> to</c><00:35:36.440><c> Abraham,</c><00:35:36.960><c> right?</c>

00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:39.059
We<00:35:37.699><c> study</c><00:35:38.000><c> the</c><00:35:38.260><c> promises</c><00:35:38.500><c> to</c><00:35:38.739><c> Abraham.</c>

00:35:39.059 --> 00:35:40.599
We<00:35:39.400><c> can</c><00:35:39.639><c> like</c><00:35:39.980><c> rattle</c><00:35:40.159><c> them</c><00:35:40.400><c> off</c>

00:35:40.599 --> 00:35:42.960
and<00:35:40.739><c> we</c><00:35:40.840><c> can</c><00:35:41.059><c> tell</c><00:35:41.260><c> you</c><00:35:41.360><c> what</c><00:35:41.519><c> the</c><00:35:41.739><c> promises</c><00:35:42.000><c> to</c><00:35:42.239><c> Abraham</c><00:35:42.440><c> are</c>

00:35:42.960 --> 00:35:45.139
because<00:35:43.340><c> this</c><00:35:43.599><c> is</c><00:35:43.820><c> the</c><00:35:44.000><c> foundation</c><00:35:44.619><c> of</c><00:35:44.920><c> us.</c>

00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:48.400
I<00:35:45.659><c> found</c><00:35:45.960><c> out</c><00:35:46.219><c> I</c><00:35:46.340><c> didn't</c><00:35:46.639><c> know</c><00:35:47.239><c> the</c><00:35:47.639><c> promises</c><00:35:47.860><c> to</c><00:35:48.139><c> Abraham.</c>

00:35:48.860 --> 00:35:50.840
I<00:35:49.059><c> didn't</c><00:35:49.260><c> even</c><00:35:49.599><c> recognize</c><00:35:50.099><c> this</c><00:35:50.400><c> back</c><00:35:50.599><c> there</c>

00:35:50.840 --> 00:35:52.900
that<00:35:50.940><c> this</c><00:35:51.199><c> was</c><00:35:51.400><c> a</c><00:35:51.539><c> component</c><00:35:52.039><c> of</c><00:35:52.340><c> the</c><00:35:52.599><c> promises.</c>

00:35:53.260 --> 00:35:55.559
Because<00:35:53.679><c> when</c><00:35:53.980><c> we</c><00:35:54.179><c> do</c><00:35:54.360><c> the</c><00:35:54.659><c> promises</c><00:35:54.960><c> to</c><00:35:55.219><c> Abraham,</c>

00:35:55.679 --> 00:35:57.679
what<00:35:55.860><c> kind</c><00:35:56.019><c> of</c><00:35:56.159><c> things</c><00:35:56.340><c> do</c><00:35:56.539><c> we</c><00:35:56.760><c> stress?</c>

00:35:57.880 --> 00:35:59.380
What<00:35:58.219><c> did</c><00:35:58.340><c> Abraham</c><00:35:58.719><c> get</c><00:35:58.980><c> promised?</c>

00:35:59.579 --> 00:36:01.260
What's<00:35:59.800><c> one</c><00:35:59.980><c> thing</c><00:36:00.079><c> he</c><00:36:00.280><c> got</c><00:36:00.460><c> promised?</c>

00:36:01.619 --> 00:36:02.900
The<00:36:02.019><c> land,</c><00:36:02.699><c> right?</c>

00:36:02.900 --> 00:36:04.559
We<00:36:03.099><c> all</c><00:36:03.340><c> know</c><00:36:03.519><c> the</c><00:36:03.820><c> land,</c><00:36:04.199><c> right?</c>

00:36:04.820 --> 00:36:06.079
So<00:36:05.059><c> this</c><00:36:05.519><c> is</c><00:36:05.659><c> what</c><00:36:05.760><c> we</c><00:36:05.960><c> do.</c>

00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:07.579
We<00:36:06.179><c> go</c><00:36:06.340><c> through</c><00:36:06.500><c> the</c><00:36:06.760><c> promises</c><00:36:07.000><c> to</c><00:36:07.300><c> Abraham.</c>

00:36:07.579 --> 00:36:10.559
We<00:36:07.780><c> focus</c><00:36:08.099><c> on</c><00:36:08.300><c> the</c><00:36:08.559><c> land</c><00:36:08.880><c> and</c><00:36:09.239><c> he's</c><00:36:09.480><c> going</c><00:36:09.539><c> to</c><00:36:09.599><c> have</c><00:36:09.780><c> a</c><00:36:09.940><c> king</c><00:36:10.159><c> someday</c>

00:36:10.559 --> 00:36:12.019
and<00:36:10.800><c> he's</c><00:36:10.880><c> going</c><00:36:10.980><c> to</c><00:36:11.079><c> have</c><00:36:11.219><c> his</c><00:36:11.659><c> people</c>

00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:15.539
and<00:36:14.659><c> all</c><00:36:14.820><c> this</c><00:36:14.980><c> kind</c><00:36:15.199><c> of</c><00:36:15.320><c> stuff.</c>

00:36:15.860 --> 00:36:19.760
Look<00:36:16.019><c> at</c><00:36:16.219><c> how</c><00:36:16.639><c> Peter</c><00:36:17.039><c> uses</c><00:36:17.480><c> this</c><00:36:17.860><c> in</c><00:36:18.059><c> Acts</c><00:36:18.320><c> chapter</c><00:36:18.659><c> 3.</c>

00:36:20.019 --> 00:36:22.719
I<00:36:20.300><c> just</c><00:36:20.599><c> totally</c><00:36:21.059><c> missed</c><00:36:21.320><c> this</c><00:36:21.559><c> during</c><00:36:21.780><c> the</c><00:36:21.940><c> readings.</c>

00:36:22.739 --> 00:36:24.579
But<00:36:23.039><c> he</c><00:36:23.300><c> talks</c><00:36:23.579><c> about</c><00:36:23.960><c> how</c><00:36:24.400><c> you,</c>

00:36:24.679 --> 00:36:26.599
he's<00:36:24.940><c> talking</c><00:36:25.239><c> to</c><00:36:25.480><c> the</c><00:36:25.699><c> Jews</c><00:36:25.880><c> at</c><00:36:26.059><c> this</c><00:36:26.260><c> point</c>

00:36:26.599 --> 00:36:28.079
and<00:36:26.980><c> they've</c><00:36:27.280><c> got</c><00:36:27.400><c> the</c><00:36:27.679><c> spirit</c><00:36:27.880><c> gifts</c>

00:36:28.079 --> 00:36:29.559
to<00:36:28.320><c> talk</c><00:36:28.480><c> to</c><00:36:28.599><c> all</c><00:36:28.739><c> the</c><00:36:28.900><c> people</c><00:36:29.099><c> that</c><00:36:29.260><c> are</c><00:36:29.380><c> there,</c>

00:36:29.559 --> 00:36:31.880
but<00:36:29.699><c> they</c><00:36:29.840><c> were</c><00:36:30.019><c> basically</c><00:36:30.480><c> folks</c><00:36:30.719><c> connected</c><00:36:31.139><c> with</c><00:36:31.380><c> Judaism,</c>

00:36:32.360 --> 00:36:33.519

00:36:33.860 --> 00:36:34.340
So<00:36:34.039><c> he</c><00:36:34.099><c> says,</c>

00:36:34.340 --> 00:36:36.119
You<00:36:34.340><c> are</c><00:36:34.820><c> the</c><00:36:35.119><c> sons</c><00:36:35.380><c> of</c><00:36:35.579><c> the</c><00:36:35.800><c> prophets,</c>

00:36:36.320 --> 00:36:38.699
and<00:36:36.440><c> of</c><00:36:36.579><c> the</c><00:36:36.860><c> covenant</c><00:36:37.099><c> which</c><00:36:37.380><c> God</c><00:36:37.679><c> made</c><00:36:37.940><c> with</c><00:36:38.119><c> our</c><00:36:38.280><c> fathers,</c>

00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:40.639
saying<00:36:39.219><c> to</c><00:36:39.519><c> Abraham,</c>

00:36:41.159 --> 00:36:44.760
in<00:36:41.260><c> your</c><00:36:41.739><c> seed</c><00:36:42.139><c> all</c><00:36:42.420><c> the</c><00:36:42.679><c> families</c><00:36:43.079><c> of</c><00:36:43.360><c> the</c><00:36:43.539><c> earth</c><00:36:43.860><c> shall</c><00:36:44.159><c> be</c><00:36:44.380><c> blessed.</c>

00:36:45.139 --> 00:36:46.940
And<00:36:45.360><c> so</c><00:36:45.559><c> there's</c><00:36:45.920><c> the</c><00:36:46.139><c> promise</c><00:36:46.440><c> to</c><00:36:46.679><c> Abraham.</c>

00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:50.300
God<00:36:47.440><c> promised</c><00:36:48.159><c> to</c><00:36:48.519><c> bless</c><00:36:48.880><c> his</c><00:36:49.340><c> family.</c>

00:36:50.500 --> 00:36:53.639
Now,<00:36:51.320><c> look</c><00:36:51.519><c> at</c><00:36:51.639><c> what</c><00:36:51.800><c> Peter</c><00:36:52.159><c> does</c><00:36:52.539><c> with</c><00:36:52.800><c> the</c><00:36:52.980><c> blessing</c><00:36:53.260><c> though.</c>

00:36:54.039 --> 00:36:54.820
He<00:36:54.360><c> says,</c>

00:36:55.079 --> 00:36:56.400
To<00:36:55.360><c> you</c><00:36:55.860><c> first,</c>

00:36:56.760 --> 00:36:59.380

00:37:56.639 --> 00:37:58.780
He's<00:37:56.940><c> going</c><00:37:57.079><c> to</c><00:37:57.480><c> reprogram</c><00:37:58.179><c> those</c><00:37:58.460><c> people.</c>

I<00:38:07.440><c> mean,</c><00:38:07.900><c> you</c><00:38:07.980><c> just</c><00:38:08.179><c> think</c><00:38:08.420><c> about</c><00:38:08.679><c> it</c><00:38:08.800><c> and</c><00:38:08.900><c> he's</c><00:38:09.320><c> right.</c>

00:38:10.159 --> 00:38:11.380
Peter's<00:38:10.599><c> totally</c><00:38:10.880><c> right.</c>

00:42:14.280 --> 00:42:16.480
And<00:42:14.420><c> so</c><00:42:14.619><c> Paul</c><00:42:14.820><c> would</c><00:42:15.059><c> give</c><00:42:15.179><c> the</c><00:42:15.440><c> example</c><00:42:15.760><c> to</c><00:42:15.920><c> the</c><00:42:16.079><c> Corinthians</c>

00:43:26.860 --> 00:43:31.219
And<00:43:27.019><c> what</c><00:43:27.079><c> we're</c><00:43:27.360><c> supposed</c><00:43:27.980><c> to</c><00:43:28.280><c> do</c><00:43:28.619><c> is</c><00:43:29.340><c> praise</c><00:43:29.739><c> God</c><00:43:30.159><c> and</c><00:43:30.460><c> thank</c><00:43:30.780><c> him</c>

00:43:31.219 --> 00:43:34.239

00:43:37.380 --> 00:43:40.280
And<00:43:37.659><c> so</c><00:43:37.880><c> we're</c><00:43:38.280><c> hard</c><00:43:38.699><c> pressed,</c><00:43:39.059><c> but</c><00:43:39.440><c> we're</c><00:43:39.760><c> not</c><00:43:40.019><c> crushed.</c>

00:43:40.440 --> 00:43:42.079
We're<00:43:40.619><c> perplexed,</c><00:43:41.179><c> but</c><00:43:41.320><c> not</c><00:43:41.539><c> in</c><00:43:41.699><c> despair.</c>

00:43:42.219 --> 00:43:44.539
We<00:43:42.320><c> get</c><00:43:42.500><c> persecuted,</c><00:43:43.239><c> but</c><00:43:43.500><c> not</c><00:43:43.719><c> forsaken.</c>

00:43:44.699 --> 00:43:46.980
Struck<00:43:45.000><c> down,</c><00:43:45.380><c> but</c><00:43:45.659><c> not</c><00:43:45.880><c> destroyed.</c>

00:43:47.159 --> 00:43:50.280
But<00:43:47.260><c> always</c><00:43:47.800><c> caring</c><00:43:48.219><c> about</c><00:43:48.539><c> in</c><00:43:48.739><c> the</c><00:43:48.920><c> body,</c><00:43:49.300><c> the</c><00:43:49.539><c> dying</c><00:43:49.860><c> of</c><00:43:50.139><c> the</c>

Lord<00:43:50.460><c> Jesus.</c>

00:43:51.260 --> 00:43:54.599
This<00:43:51.579><c> is</c><00:43:51.840><c> because</c><00:43:52.079><c> he</c><00:43:52.380><c> always</c><00:43:52.840><c> had</c><00:43:53.159><c> Jesus</c><00:43:53.679><c> Christ</c><00:43:54.139><c> and</c><00:43:54.380><c> him</c>

00:43:54.599 --> 00:43:56.099
crucified<00:43:55.300><c> with</c><00:43:55.679><c> him.</c>

00:43:56.519 --> 00:44:00.039
That<00:43:56.659><c> the</c><00:43:57.039><c> life</c><00:43:57.300><c> of</c><00:43:57.599><c> Jesus</c><00:43:57.980><c> might</c><00:43:58.219><c> also</c><00:43:59.079><c> be</c><00:43:59.760><c> manifested</c><00:43:59.760><c> in</c>

00:44:00.539 --> 00:44:02.019
See,<00:44:01.199><c> that's</c><00:44:01.639><c> the</c><00:44:01.840><c> point.</c>

00:44:02.039 --> 00:44:06.719
We<00:44:02.139><c> don't</c><00:44:02.360><c> just</c><00:44:02.780><c> die</c><00:44:03.139><c> to</c><00:44:03.480><c> sin,</c><00:44:04.239><c> but</c><00:44:04.440><c> we</c><00:44:04.840><c> live</c><00:44:05.400><c> to</c><00:44:05.780><c> righteousness.</c>

00:44:06.980 --> 00:44:08.320
And<00:44:07.159><c> that's</c><00:44:07.320><c> what</c><00:44:07.440><c> we're</c><00:44:07.599><c> supposed</c><00:44:07.940><c> to</c><00:44:08.139><c> do.</c>

00:44:08.440 --> 00:44:11.000
It<00:44:08.519><c> isn't</c><00:44:08.780><c> just</c><00:44:09.079><c> a</c><00:44:09.300><c> beat</c><00:44:09.480><c> down</c><00:44:09.679><c> the</c><00:44:09.840><c> devil,</c><00:44:10.199><c> beat</c><00:44:10.340><c> down</c><00:44:10.559><c> the</c><00:44:10.719><c> devil.</c>

00:44:11.320 --> 00:44:15.199

00:44:15.679 --> 00:44:19.539
