Okay.

00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:43.420
And<00:00:40.299><c> we're</c><00:00:40.380><c> going</c><00:00:40.539><c> to</c><00:00:40.600><c> come</c><00:00:40.780><c> now</c><00:00:41.219><c> to</c><00:00:42.299><c> someone</c><00:00:42.600><c> who</c><00:00:42.820><c> thinks</c><00:00:43.039><c> he's</c><00:00:43.299><c> in</c>

00:00:44.579 --> 00:00:48.000
Someone<00:00:44.840><c> who</c><00:00:45.000><c> thinks</c><00:00:45.179><c> he's</c><00:00:45.439><c> clean</c><00:00:45.840><c> and</c><00:00:46.039><c> law</c><00:00:46.380><c> keeping</c><00:00:46.799><c> and</c><00:00:47.820><c> an</c>

And<00:00:53.439><c> from</c><00:00:53.700><c> a</c><00:00:54.000><c> casual</c><00:00:54.700><c> observation</c><00:00:55.579><c> of</c><00:00:55.759><c> this</c><00:00:55.960><c> chapter,</c><00:00:57.060><c> we</c><00:00:57.079><c> might</c><00:00:57.299><c> think</c><00:00:57.539><c> we</c>

00:00:58.119 --> 00:00:59.380
know<00:00:58.380><c> exactly</c><00:00:58.820><c> what</c><00:00:58.960><c> his</c><00:00:59.079><c> problem</c>

00:00:59.380 --> 00:00:59.979
is.

00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:02.619
His<00:01:00.560><c> problem</c><00:01:00.899><c> is</c><00:01:01.140><c> with</c><00:01:01.340><c> money,</c><00:01:02.219><c> right?</c>

00:01:03.060 --> 00:01:06.459
That's<00:01:03.439><c> our</c><00:01:03.859><c> Sunday</c><00:01:04.120><c> school</c><00:01:04.379><c> lesson,</c><00:01:05.459><c> our</c><00:01:05.700><c> casual</c><00:01:06.159><c> reading</c>

00:01:06.459 --> 00:01:07.620
of<00:01:06.640><c> the</c><00:01:06.799><c> chapter.</c>

00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:11.579
And<00:01:08.299><c> that</c><00:01:08.579><c> is</c><00:01:09.420><c> definitely</c><00:01:10.000><c> a</c><00:01:10.620><c> lesson</c><00:01:10.840><c> that</c><00:01:11.000><c> we</c><00:01:11.079><c> can</c><00:01:11.219><c> take</c><00:01:11.420><c> away</c>

00:01:11.579 --> 00:01:16.239
from<00:01:11.780><c> this,</c><00:01:12.900><c> that</c><00:01:13.640><c> we</c><00:01:14.819><c> can</c><00:01:15.459><c> have</c><00:01:15.840><c> money,</c>

00:01:16.340 --> 00:01:19.000
but<00:01:16.540><c> it</c><00:01:16.780><c> cannot</c><00:01:17.040><c> have</c><00:01:17.439><c> us,</c><00:01:18.340><c> so</c><00:01:18.640><c> to</c><00:01:18.819><c> speak.</c>

00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:24.599
So<00:01:19.560><c> that's</c><00:01:20.459><c> the</c><00:01:20.659><c> casual</c><00:01:21.159><c> kind</c><00:01:21.400><c> of</c><00:01:21.719><c> observation</c><00:01:22.280><c> of</c><00:01:22.840><c> this</c><00:01:23.579><c> chapter</c><00:01:23.920><c> here,</c><00:01:24.480><c> in</c>

00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:26.400
this<00:01:25.620><c> ruin</c><00:01:25.879><c> of</c><00:01:26.079><c> the</c><00:01:26.200><c> rich,</c>

00:01:26.459 --> 00:01:27.379
young<00:01:26.560><c> ruler.</c>

00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:32.819
And<00:01:29.079><c> this</c><00:01:29.599><c> illustration</c><00:01:30.079><c> on</c><00:01:30.260><c> the</c><00:01:30.459><c> screen</c><00:01:30.719><c> kind</c><00:01:30.980><c> of</c><00:01:31.140><c> is</c><00:01:31.859><c> how</c><00:01:32.439><c> I</c>

00:01:32.819 --> 00:01:34.120
visualize<00:01:33.439><c> this</c><00:01:33.879><c> guy.</c>

00:01:34.420 --> 00:01:36.719
It<00:01:34.620><c> may</c><00:01:34.819><c> not</c><00:01:34.980><c> be</c><00:01:35.159><c> Canadian</c><00:01:35.459><c> money</c><00:01:35.719><c> that's</c><00:01:36.159><c> fallen</c><00:01:36.319><c> from</c><00:01:36.500><c> this</c>

00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:40.540
guy,<00:01:37.599><c> but</c><00:01:38.420><c> it's</c><00:01:39.019><c> worth</c><00:01:39.219><c> more,</c><00:01:40.040><c> right?</c>

00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:46.200
So,<00:01:44.280><c> and</c><00:01:44.620><c> this</c><00:01:44.739><c> is</c><00:01:44.879><c> kind</c><00:01:45.000><c> of</c><00:01:45.019><c> where</c><00:01:45.120><c> we</c><00:01:45.340><c> are</c><00:01:45.500><c> in</c><00:01:45.579><c> our</c><00:01:45.780><c> progression.</c>

00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:48.900
So<00:01:46.579><c> there's</c><00:01:47.159><c> an</c><00:01:47.379><c> expectation</c><00:01:48.079><c> of</c><00:01:48.500><c> Messiah.</c>

00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:51.439
There's<00:01:49.519><c> a</c><00:01:49.739><c> recognition</c><00:01:50.159><c> of</c><00:01:50.359><c> our</c><00:01:50.540><c> need.</c>

00:01:52.140 --> 00:01:55.099
And<00:01:52.319><c> although</c><00:01:52.980><c> we're</c><00:01:53.200><c> still</c><00:01:53.420><c> coming</c><00:01:53.719><c> to</c><00:01:53.920><c> the</c><00:01:54.019><c> Lord</c><00:01:54.180><c> Jesus</c><00:01:54.480><c> Christ,</c><00:01:54.900><c> we</c>

00:01:55.099 --> 00:01:57.120
still<00:01:55.379><c> have</c><00:01:55.640><c> those</c><00:01:55.939><c> obstacles.</c>

00:01:57.260 --> 00:02:00.719
And<00:01:57.480><c> so</c><00:01:57.959><c> what</c><00:01:58.359><c> was</c><00:01:58.640><c> this</c><00:01:58.959><c> man's</c><00:01:59.739><c> obstacle?</c>

00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:03.760
That's<00:02:01.239><c> what</c><00:02:01.379><c> we're</c><00:02:01.500><c> going</c><00:02:01.640><c> to</c><00:02:01.799><c> seek</c><00:02:02.019><c> to</c><00:02:02.640><c> look</c><00:02:02.939><c> at.</c>

00:02:04.219 --> 00:02:07.379
So<00:02:04.219><c> I</c><00:02:04.700><c> think</c><00:02:04.900><c> we</c><00:02:05.120><c> had</c><00:02:05.599><c> read</c><00:02:06.000><c> Matthew,</c><00:02:06.780><c> but</c><00:02:06.959><c> I'd</c><00:02:07.140><c> like</c><00:02:07.200><c> you</c><00:02:07.319><c> to</c>

00:02:07.379 --> 00:02:09.400

00:02:09.740 --> 00:02:12.180
This<00:02:10.240><c> is</c><00:02:10.560><c> in</c><00:02:10.860><c> three</c><00:02:11.240><c> of</c><00:02:11.360><c> the</c><00:02:11.500><c> gospel</c><00:02:11.780><c> accounts.</c>

00:02:12.180 --> 00:02:15.919
We<00:02:12.360><c> read</c><00:02:12.580><c> the</c><00:02:12.740><c> one</c><00:02:12.819><c> from</c><00:02:13.000><c> Matthew</c><00:02:13.340><c> 19,</c><00:02:14.460><c> but</c><00:02:15.560><c> we're</c><00:02:15.699><c> going</c><00:02:15.840><c> to</c>

00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:18.620
come<00:02:16.060><c> over</c><00:02:16.360><c> to</c><00:02:16.580><c> Mark</c><00:02:16.819><c> chapter</c><00:02:17.340><c> 10.</c>

00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:22.580
A<00:02:18.860><c> lot</c><00:02:19.060><c> of</c><00:02:19.180><c> what</c><00:02:19.280><c> led</c><00:02:19.500><c> me</c><00:02:19.740><c> to</c><00:02:19.860><c> these</c><00:02:20.560><c> studies</c><00:02:20.979><c> and</c><00:02:22.139><c> this</c><00:02:22.379><c> line</c>

00:02:22.580 --> 00:02:24.699

00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:33.919

00:02:42.819 --> 00:02:46.500
So<00:02:43.400><c> this</c><00:02:43.979><c> was</c><00:02:44.219><c> a</c><00:02:44.400><c> time</c><00:02:44.740><c> in</c><00:02:45.080><c> context</c><00:02:45.620><c> where</c><00:02:45.860><c> we</c><00:02:45.960><c> are</c><00:02:46.139><c> with</c><00:02:46.340><c> the</c>

00:02:48.219 --> 00:02:48.439

00:02:48.620 --> 00:02:51.419
We're<00:02:48.699><c> entering</c><00:02:48.919><c> the</c><00:02:49.159><c> end</c><00:02:49.539><c> of</c><00:02:49.800><c> the</c><00:02:49.919><c> Lord's</c><00:02:50.300><c> life</c><00:02:50.620><c> and</c><00:02:51.039><c> there's</c>

00:02:51.419 --> 00:02:52.580

00:02:53.060 --> 00:02:59.000
And<00:02:53.439><c> we</c><00:02:54.199><c> read</c><00:02:54.719><c> in</c><00:02:54.919><c> verse</c><00:02:55.500><c> 17</c><00:02:56.400><c> of</c><00:02:57.620><c> Mark</c><00:02:58.000><c> chapter</c><00:02:58.300><c> 10</c><00:02:58.620><c> that</c><00:02:58.840><c> when</c>

00:03:01.219 --> 00:03:05.060
So<00:03:01.419><c> what's</c><00:03:01.740><c> interesting</c><00:03:02.020><c> about</c><00:03:02.280><c> that</c><00:03:02.599><c> is</c><00:03:02.819><c> that</c><00:03:03.479><c> the</c><00:03:03.680><c> whole</c><00:03:04.560><c> life</c><00:03:04.699><c> of</c>

our<00:03:05.340><c> Lord</c><00:03:05.500><c> was</c><00:03:05.680><c> really</c><00:03:06.759><c> along</c><00:03:07.300><c> the</c>

00:03:09.990 --> 00:03:13.490
And<00:03:10.189><c> now</c><00:03:10.389><c> it's</c><00:03:10.669><c> really</c><00:03:11.050><c> on</c><00:03:11.229><c> the</c><00:03:11.330><c> way</c><00:03:11.610><c> because</c><00:03:11.849><c> where</c><00:03:12.210><c> is</c><00:03:12.990><c> he</c><00:03:13.150><c> going?</c>

00:03:13.629 --> 00:03:15.129
Where<00:03:13.889><c> is</c><00:03:14.030><c> he</c><00:03:14.229><c> on</c><00:03:14.430><c> the</c><00:03:14.509><c> way</c><00:03:14.729><c> to?</c>

00:03:15.530 --> 00:03:17.569
Even<00:03:15.789><c> in</c><00:03:16.110><c> the</c><00:03:16.289><c> last</c><00:03:16.509><c> verse</c><00:03:16.669><c> of</c><00:03:16.770><c> this</c><00:03:16.930><c> chapter,</c><00:03:17.189><c> I</c><00:03:17.270><c> believe</c><00:03:17.469><c> in</c>

00:03:17.569 --> 00:03:19.289
verse<00:03:17.789><c> 52,</c><00:03:18.349><c> it</c><00:03:18.349><c> says,</c><00:03:18.849><c> and</c><00:03:18.849><c> immediately</c>

00:03:19.289 --> 00:03:21.969
he<00:03:19.590><c> received</c><00:03:19.909><c> his</c><00:03:20.210><c> sight</c><00:03:20.669><c> and</c><00:03:21.129><c> followed</c><00:03:21.370><c> him</c><00:03:21.610><c> talking</c><00:03:21.789><c> about</c>

00:03:21.969 --> 00:03:24.449
the<00:03:22.189><c> blind</c><00:03:22.370><c> man</c><00:03:22.789><c> and</c><00:03:23.270><c> followed</c><00:03:23.569><c> Jesus</c><00:03:24.110><c> in</c>

the<00:03:24.590><c> way.</c>

00:03:25.770 --> 00:03:29.210
But<00:03:25.770><c> would</c><00:03:26.189><c> this</c><00:03:26.409><c> be</c><00:03:26.689><c> a</c><00:03:26.789><c> very</c><00:03:27.129><c> easy</c><00:03:27.430><c> time</c><00:03:27.889><c> to</c><00:03:28.349><c> follow</c><00:03:28.789><c> our</c><00:03:29.050><c> Lord</c>

00:03:29.210 --> 00:03:30.530
Jesus<00:03:29.469><c> Christ?</c>

00:03:30.550 --> 00:03:35.129
This<00:03:30.789><c> would</c><00:03:30.969><c> be</c><00:03:31.289><c> probably</c><00:03:31.990><c> the</c><00:03:32.289><c> last</c><00:03:32.650><c> time</c><00:03:33.370><c> it</c><00:03:34.370><c> would</c><00:03:34.530><c> be</c><00:03:34.689><c> easy</c>

00:03:36.849 --> 00:03:42.270
if<00:03:37.250><c> you</c><00:03:37.349><c> look</c><00:03:37.530><c> in</c><00:03:37.669><c> the</c><00:03:37.830><c> context</c><00:03:38.370><c> in</c><00:03:38.530><c> Mark</c><00:03:38.750><c> 10,</c><00:03:39.590><c> it</c><00:03:39.610><c> tells</c><00:03:39.889><c> us</c><00:03:40.409><c> starting</c><00:03:40.830><c> in</c>

00:03:54.710 --> 00:03:56.129

00:03:56.129 --> 00:04:00.590
what<00:03:56.509><c> things</c><00:03:56.949><c> should</c><00:03:57.289><c> happen</c><00:03:57.590><c> to</c><00:03:57.770><c> him</c><00:03:58.289><c> saying,</c><00:03:59.969><c> behold,</c><00:04:00.409><c> we</c>

00:04:01.849 --> 00:04:04.629
We're<00:04:01.909><c> on</c><00:04:02.090><c> our</c><00:04:02.229><c> way</c><00:04:02.330><c> to</c><00:04:02.509><c> Jerusalem</c><00:04:02.909><c> and</c><00:04:03.490><c> the</c><00:04:03.669><c> son</c><00:04:03.789><c> of</c><00:04:03.990><c> man</c><00:04:04.189><c> shall</c><00:04:04.349><c> be</c>

00:04:20.089 --> 00:04:22.149
Well<00:04:20.290><c> the</c><00:04:20.430><c> disciples</c><00:04:20.750><c> didn't</c><00:04:21.029><c> grasp</c><00:04:21.370><c> the</c><00:04:21.550><c> hold</c><00:04:21.649><c> of</c><00:04:21.810><c> this</c><00:04:21.949><c> yet,</c>

00:04:22.269 --> 00:04:23.069
did<00:04:22.290><c> they?</c>

00:04:23.610 --> 00:04:26.569
But<00:04:24.089><c> as</c><00:04:24.410><c> we're</c><00:04:24.589><c> thinking</c><00:04:24.810><c> about</c><00:04:25.089><c> it,</c><00:04:25.250><c> looking</c><00:04:25.490><c> back</c><00:04:25.870><c> at</c><00:04:26.449><c> it,</c>

00:04:26.569 --> 00:04:28.389
it's<00:04:26.810><c> easy</c><00:04:27.089><c> for</c><00:04:27.250><c> us</c><00:04:27.470><c> to</c><00:04:27.649><c> realize</c><00:04:27.949><c> where</c><00:04:28.209><c> we</c>

00:04:29.990 --> 00:04:32.310
And<00:04:30.170><c> so</c><00:04:30.389><c> the</c><00:04:30.610><c> time</c><00:04:30.870><c> that</c><00:04:31.050><c> the</c><00:04:31.189><c> rich</c><00:04:31.350><c> young</c><00:04:31.550><c> ruler</c><00:04:31.790><c> comes</c><00:04:32.110><c> to</c>

00:04:32.310 --> 00:04:35.069
this<00:04:32.509><c> man</c><00:04:32.970><c> with</c><00:04:33.269><c> his</c><00:04:33.529><c> own</c><00:04:33.750><c> need,</c><00:04:34.529><c> he's</c>

00:04:35.069 --> 00:04:39.410
taking<00:04:35.449><c> a</c><00:04:35.589><c> very</c><00:04:35.970><c> difficult</c><00:04:36.350><c> time</c><00:04:36.889><c> and</c><00:04:38.310><c> it's</c><00:04:38.509><c> going</c><00:04:38.629><c> to</c><00:04:38.769><c> be</c><00:04:38.889><c> difficult</c><00:04:39.250><c> as</c>

00:04:39.410 --> 00:04:41.110
we'll<00:04:39.629><c> see</c><00:04:40.050><c> for</c><00:04:40.250><c> him.</c>

00:04:41.790 --> 00:04:43.730
So<00:04:41.790><c> let's</c><00:04:42.170><c> talk</c><00:04:42.389><c> about</c><00:04:42.589><c> this</c><00:04:42.790><c> guy.</c>

00:04:52.370 --> 00:04:53.870
he<00:04:52.470><c> was</c><00:04:52.670><c> very</c><00:04:52.990><c> rich.</c>

00:04:54.009 --> 00:04:57.269
Matthew<00:04:54.269><c> 19</c><00:04:54.870><c> tells</c><00:04:55.490><c> us</c><00:04:55.750><c> twice,</c><00:04:56.069><c> I</c><00:04:56.089><c> believe,</c><00:04:56.589><c> when</c><00:04:56.730><c> the</c><00:04:57.009><c> young</c>

00:04:57.269 --> 00:05:00.149

00:05:00.149 --> 00:05:03.670
us<00:05:00.389><c> again</c><00:05:00.730><c> a</c><00:05:00.990><c> certain</c><00:05:01.350><c> ruler</c><00:05:01.850><c> asked</c><00:05:02.449><c> him</c><00:05:02.730><c> saying.</c>

00:05:03.750 --> 00:05:06.930
So<00:05:04.230><c> he</c><00:05:04.370><c> was</c><00:05:04.589><c> rich,</c><00:05:05.269><c> he</c><00:05:05.310><c> was</c><00:05:05.550><c> young,</c><00:05:06.230><c> and</c><00:05:06.329><c> he</c><00:05:06.389><c> was</c><00:05:06.589><c> a</c><00:05:06.689><c> ruler.</c>

00:05:07.149 --> 00:05:08.069
That's<00:05:07.310><c> where</c><00:05:07.430><c> we</c><00:05:07.509><c> get</c><00:05:07.649><c> the</c><00:05:07.810><c> title.</c>

00:05:08.189 --> 00:05:10.750
That's<00:05:08.430><c> where</c><00:05:08.730><c> you're</c><00:05:09.050><c> also</c><00:05:09.449><c> commonly</c><00:05:09.790><c> referred</c><00:05:10.089><c> to</c><00:05:10.230><c> these</c>

00:05:10.750 --> 00:05:12.389
three<00:05:11.129><c> adjectives</c><00:05:11.610><c> to</c><00:05:11.790><c> describe</c><00:05:12.129><c> this</c>

00:05:12.389 --> 00:05:12.629
man.

00:05:13.009 --> 00:05:15.149
So<00:05:13.170><c> he</c><00:05:13.250><c> was</c><00:05:13.449><c> on</c><00:05:13.550><c> his</c><00:05:13.709><c> way</c><00:05:13.870><c> up,</c><00:05:14.129><c> right?</c>

00:05:15.269 --> 00:05:19.069
In<00:05:15.509><c> society</c><00:05:16.170><c> and</c><00:05:16.829><c> things</c><00:05:17.430><c> were</c><00:05:17.589><c> going</c><00:05:17.730><c> well</c><00:05:17.949><c> for</c><00:05:18.110><c> this</c><00:05:18.290><c> guy.</c>

00:05:19.529 --> 00:05:21.889
So<00:05:19.949><c> is</c><00:05:20.250><c> there</c><00:05:20.370><c> anything</c><00:05:20.490><c> wrong</c><00:05:20.689><c> with</c><00:05:20.889><c> this?</c>

00:05:23.050 --> 00:05:25.949
Anything<00:05:23.529><c> wrong</c><00:05:24.009><c> with</c><00:05:24.209><c> this</c><00:05:24.410><c> picture</c><00:05:24.689><c> of</c><00:05:24.850><c> this</c><00:05:25.029><c> man</c><00:05:25.509><c> that</c><00:05:25.810><c> you</c>

00:05:25.949 --> 00:05:27.050
can<00:05:26.149><c> see?</c>

00:05:27.449 --> 00:05:29.910
So<00:05:27.790><c> he</c><00:05:27.930><c> had</c><00:05:28.709><c> resources.</c>

00:05:30.230 --> 00:05:31.209
He<00:05:30.410><c> was</c><00:05:30.589><c> very</c><00:05:30.889><c> rich.</c>

00:05:31.209 --> 00:05:34.009
He<00:05:31.629><c> may</c><00:05:32.189><c> be</c><00:05:32.389><c> paid</c><00:05:32.610><c> for</c><00:05:32.790><c> his</c><00:05:33.009><c> position.</c>

00:05:34.329 --> 00:05:39.009
He<00:05:34.430><c> may</c><00:05:34.670><c> have</c><00:05:35.069><c> bought</c><00:05:35.269><c> his</c><00:05:35.509><c> way</c><00:05:35.750><c> in</c><00:05:36.310><c> to</c><00:05:37.129><c> the</c><00:05:37.350><c> Sanhedrin</c><00:05:37.889><c> perhaps.</c>

00:05:39.269 --> 00:05:42.970
He<00:05:39.389><c> was</c><00:05:40.069><c> educated,</c><00:05:40.949><c> successful,</c><00:05:42.029><c> academic.</c>

00:05:43.689 --> 00:05:45.110
But<00:05:43.910><c> there's</c><00:05:44.230><c> nothing</c><00:05:44.389><c> wrong</c><00:05:44.589><c> with</c><00:05:44.810><c> that.</c>

00:05:45.329 --> 00:05:47.470
Like<00:05:45.410><c> we</c><00:05:45.629><c> said,</c><00:05:46.350><c> having</c><00:05:46.569><c> money</c><00:05:46.870><c> isn't</c><00:05:47.110><c> wrong.</c>

00:05:47.670 --> 00:05:50.170
It's<00:05:47.730><c> when</c><00:05:47.930><c> the</c><00:05:48.110><c> money</c><00:05:48.310><c> has</c><00:05:48.689><c> you</c><00:05:49.089><c> that</c><00:05:49.589><c> is</c><00:05:49.730><c> when</c><00:05:49.810><c> it's</c><00:05:50.050><c> wrong</c>

00:05:50.170 --> 00:05:51.430
and<00:05:50.310><c> that's</c><00:05:50.470><c> where</c><00:05:50.550><c> we</c><00:05:50.750><c> point</c><00:05:50.930><c> to</c><00:05:51.069><c> this</c><00:05:51.209><c> verse</c>

00:05:51.430 --> 00:05:54.550
in<00:05:51.529><c> 1st</c><00:05:51.829><c> Timothy</c><00:05:52.069><c> that</c><00:05:52.250><c> says</c><00:05:52.649><c> for</c><00:05:53.009><c> the</c><00:05:53.209><c> love</c><00:05:53.490><c> of</c><00:05:53.730><c> money</c><00:05:54.029><c> is</c><00:05:54.430><c> the</c>

00:05:57.209 --> 00:05:59.750
after,<00:05:57.629><c> they</c><00:05:57.870><c> have</c><00:05:58.069><c> erred</c><00:05:58.329><c> from</c><00:05:58.529><c> the</c><00:05:58.730><c> faith</c><00:05:59.050><c> and</c><00:05:59.350><c> pierced</c>

themselves<00:06:00.310><c> through</c><00:06:00.949><c> with</c><00:06:01.389><c> many</c><00:06:01.689><c> sorrows.</c>

00:06:02.670 --> 00:06:03.889
And<00:06:02.829><c> we</c><00:06:02.889><c> can</c><00:06:03.089><c> see</c><00:06:03.170><c> this</c><00:06:03.389><c> true</c><00:06:03.569><c> today.</c>

00:06:04.189 --> 00:06:07.370
We<00:06:04.430><c> look</c><00:06:04.649><c> at</c><00:06:04.790><c> the</c><00:06:04.949><c> rich</c><00:06:05.089><c> in</c><00:06:05.170><c> this</c><00:06:05.389><c> world</c><00:06:05.629><c> and</c><00:06:06.029><c> they're</c><00:06:06.290><c> not</c><00:06:06.490><c> immune</c><00:06:06.850><c> from</c><00:06:07.029><c> the</c>

In<00:06:11.610><c> fact,</c><00:06:11.750><c> they</c><00:06:11.850><c> probably</c><00:06:12.110><c> have</c><00:06:12.250><c> more.</c>

00:06:14.129 --> 00:06:15.490
So<00:06:14.449><c> he</c><00:06:14.569><c> had</c><00:06:14.790><c> resources.</c>

00:06:15.930 --> 00:06:17.569
Nothing<00:06:16.170><c> wrong</c><00:06:16.430><c> with</c><00:06:16.670><c> that.</c>

00:06:22.829 --> 00:06:24.189
Youth<00:06:23.129><c> is</c><00:06:23.329><c> a</c><00:06:23.449><c> wonderful</c><00:06:23.769><c> thing.</c>

but<00:06:55.430><c> be</c><00:06:55.730><c> an</c><00:06:56.029><c> example</c><00:06:56.550><c> of</c><00:06:57.029><c> the</c><00:06:57.269><c> believers</c>

00:06:57.709 --> 00:07:01.689
in<00:06:58.250><c> word,</c><00:06:59.110><c> in</c><00:06:59.329><c> conversation,</c><00:07:00.029><c> or</c><00:07:00.110><c> your</c><00:07:00.310><c> manner</c><00:07:00.490><c> of</c><00:07:00.750><c> life,</c><00:07:01.490><c> in</c>

00:07:05.490 --> 00:07:07.410
So<00:07:05.829><c> there's</c><00:07:06.009><c> nothing</c><00:07:06.209><c> wrong</c><00:07:06.410><c> with</c><00:07:06.670><c> youth</c><00:07:06.889><c> at</c><00:07:07.110><c> all.</c>

00:07:07.589 --> 00:07:10.610
It's<00:07:08.009><c> the</c><00:07:08.269><c> perfect</c><00:07:08.470><c> time</c><00:07:08.910><c> to</c><00:07:09.290><c> come</c><00:07:09.550><c> to</c><00:07:09.750><c> the</c><00:07:09.910><c> Lord.</c>

00:07:10.910 --> 00:07:14.689
We're<00:07:11.209><c> bound</c><00:07:11.329><c> to</c><00:07:11.509><c> make</c><00:07:11.670><c> mistakes</c><00:07:12.170><c> in</c><00:07:12.370><c> our</c><00:07:12.550><c> youth,</c><00:07:13.329><c> but</c><00:07:13.850><c> he</c><00:07:14.529><c> was</c>

00:07:14.689 --> 00:07:15.350
coming<00:07:14.889><c> to</c><00:07:15.069><c> the</c><00:07:15.209><c> Lord.</c>

00:07:15.350 --> 00:07:16.850
He<00:07:15.449><c> was</c><00:07:15.769><c> on</c><00:07:16.089><c> the</c><00:07:16.250><c> right</c><00:07:16.470><c> path.</c>

00:07:16.850 --> 00:07:19.310
It's<00:07:17.149><c> a</c><00:07:17.269><c> wonderful</c><00:07:17.550><c> time</c><00:07:17.870><c> to</c><00:07:18.050><c> give</c><00:07:18.189><c> our</c><00:07:18.430><c> life,</c><00:07:18.829><c> to</c><00:07:18.889><c> give</c><00:07:19.050><c> our</c>

00:07:19.310 --> 00:07:20.829
service<00:07:19.629><c> and</c><00:07:19.790><c> our</c><00:07:19.990><c> energy.</c>

00:07:21.750 --> 00:07:23.990
We're<00:07:21.889><c> told</c><00:07:22.110><c> also</c><00:07:22.410><c> he</c><00:07:22.490><c> was</c><00:07:22.750><c> a</c><00:07:23.129><c> ruler.</c>

00:07:24.569 --> 00:07:27.250
It's<00:07:24.709><c> the</c><00:07:24.790><c> word</c><00:07:25.029><c> archon,</c><00:07:25.850><c> means</c><00:07:26.050><c> a</c><00:07:26.290><c> first.</c>

00:07:27.310 --> 00:07:32.889
It's<00:07:27.389><c> where</c><00:07:27.509><c> we</c><00:07:27.629><c> would</c><00:07:27.810><c> get</c><00:07:28.009><c> the</c><00:07:28.310><c> term</c><00:07:28.810><c> archangel</c><00:07:29.589><c> or</c><00:07:30.230><c> archduke</c><00:07:31.189><c> or</c><00:07:32.149><c> archenemy.</c>

00:07:33.230 --> 00:07:38.689
So<00:07:33.329><c> it's</c><00:07:33.529><c> our</c><00:07:33.810><c> primary</c><00:07:34.730><c> enemy</c><00:07:35.230><c> and</c><00:07:36.129><c> it</c><00:07:36.649><c> really</c><00:07:36.990><c> tells</c><00:07:37.209><c> us</c><00:07:37.589><c> the</c>

00:07:38.689 --> 00:07:41.129
form<00:07:39.029><c> of</c><00:07:39.329><c> leadership</c><00:07:39.850><c> that</c><00:07:40.290><c> was</c><00:07:40.750><c> required</c>

00:07:41.129 --> 00:07:45.089
of<00:07:41.329><c> a</c><00:07:41.329><c> lot</c><00:07:41.509><c> of</c><00:07:41.649><c> us</c><00:07:42.009><c> in</c><00:07:42.310><c> our</c><00:07:42.529><c> CYCs</c><00:07:43.050><c> or</c><00:07:43.810><c> eventually</c><00:07:44.189><c> in</c><00:07:44.509><c> our</c><00:07:44.649><c> Ecclesias.</c>

00:07:45.089 --> 00:07:47.490
So<00:07:45.389><c> he</c><00:07:45.550><c> was</c><00:07:46.029><c> on</c><00:07:46.529><c> the</c><00:07:46.689><c> right</c><00:07:46.889><c> path,</c><00:07:47.290><c> right?</c>

00:07:47.490 --> 00:07:50.569
It's<00:07:47.689><c> the</c><00:07:47.810><c> same</c><00:07:47.990><c> word</c><00:07:48.189><c> rendered</c><00:07:48.449><c> as</c><00:07:48.769><c> magistrate</c><00:07:49.350><c> and</c><00:07:49.649><c> prince.</c>

00:07:50.790 --> 00:07:54.810
And<00:07:50.889><c> Paul</c><00:07:51.050><c> tells</c><00:07:51.290><c> Timothy,</c><00:07:51.889><c> this</c><00:07:51.889><c> is</c><00:07:52.089><c> a</c><00:07:52.250><c> true</c><00:07:52.449><c> saying,</c><00:07:53.050><c> if</c><00:07:53.149><c> a</c><00:07:53.370><c> man</c><00:07:53.550><c> desire</c><00:07:53.930><c> the</c><00:07:54.170><c> office</c><00:07:54.490><c> of</c><00:07:54.649><c> a</c>

desireth<00:07:56.350><c> a</c><00:07:56.569><c> good</c><00:07:56.750><c> work.</c>

00:07:58.110 --> 00:08:01.329
In<00:07:58.350><c> Acts</c><00:07:58.589><c> 22,</c><00:07:58.990><c> we</c><00:07:59.149><c> know</c><00:07:59.329><c> of</c><00:07:59.569><c> Paul,</c><00:08:00.389><c> that</c><00:08:00.509><c> he</c><00:08:00.649><c> was</c><00:08:00.889><c> yet</c><00:08:01.089><c> brought</c>

00:08:01.329 --> 00:08:03.449
up<00:08:01.529><c> in</c><00:08:01.709><c> this</c><00:08:01.930><c> city</c><00:08:02.110><c> at</c><00:08:02.350><c> the</c><00:08:02.569><c> feet</c><00:08:02.709><c> of</c><00:08:02.949><c> Gamaliel</c>

00:08:03.449 --> 00:08:06.009
and<00:08:03.790><c> taught</c><00:08:04.089><c> according</c><00:08:04.470><c> to</c><00:08:04.629><c> the</c><00:08:04.850><c> perfect</c><00:08:05.149><c> manner</c><00:08:05.449><c> of</c><00:08:05.670><c> the</c><00:08:05.850><c> law</c>

00:08:11.009 --> 00:08:13.610
So<00:08:11.569><c> maybe</c><00:08:11.790><c> not</c><00:08:12.050><c> zealous</c><00:08:12.329><c> in</c><00:08:12.470><c> the</c><00:08:12.569><c> right</c><00:08:12.750><c> way</c><00:08:12.910><c> at</c><00:08:13.029><c> this</c><00:08:13.230><c> point,</c>

00:08:13.870 --> 00:08:17.990
but<00:08:14.069><c> he</c><00:08:14.170><c> was</c><00:08:14.990><c> being</c><00:08:15.790><c> groomed,</c><00:08:17.490><c> right?</c>

00:08:19.389 --> 00:08:23.350
And<00:08:19.550><c> then</c><00:08:19.850><c> in</c><00:08:20.269><c> context</c><00:08:20.670><c> of</c><00:08:20.850><c> this</c><00:08:21.050><c> chapter,</c><00:08:22.009><c> it</c><00:08:22.069><c> really</c><00:08:22.509><c> is</c><00:08:22.930><c> the</c>

00:08:23.350 --> 00:08:25.009
entire<00:08:23.730><c> context.</c>

00:08:31.529 --> 00:08:33.450
Let's<00:08:32.049><c> go</c><00:08:32.230><c> back</c><00:08:32.389><c> to</c><00:08:32.549><c> Matthew.</c>

00:08:34.250 --> 00:08:36.809
We're<00:08:34.490><c> going</c><00:08:34.590><c> to</c><00:08:34.669><c> go</c><00:08:34.889><c> back</c><00:08:35.090><c> and</c><00:08:35.289><c> forth,</c><00:08:35.450><c> back</c><00:08:35.710><c> and</c><00:08:35.889><c> forth,</c><00:08:36.649><c> so</c>

00:08:36.809 --> 00:08:38.049
I<00:08:36.950><c> apologize</c><00:08:37.309><c> for</c><00:08:37.509><c> that.</c>

00:08:38.049 --> 00:08:42.529
But<00:08:38.769><c> the</c><00:08:38.990><c> context</c><00:08:39.389><c> that</c><00:08:39.570><c> we</c><00:08:39.690><c> read</c><00:08:39.809><c> in</c><00:08:39.950><c> Matthew</c><00:08:40.769><c> chapter</c><00:08:41.250><c> 19,</c>

00:08:50.470 --> 00:08:53.210
Or<00:08:50.490><c> we</c><00:08:50.669><c> can</c><00:08:50.789><c> think</c><00:08:50.889><c> of</c><00:08:51.009><c> that</c><00:08:51.210><c> as</c><00:08:51.370><c> that</c><00:08:51.570><c> many</c><00:08:51.889><c> are</c><00:08:52.190><c> called,</c><00:08:53.029><c> but</c>

00:08:55.090 --> 00:08:57.909
And<00:08:55.330><c> so</c><00:08:55.850><c> we</c><00:08:56.309><c> kind</c><00:08:56.450><c> of</c><00:08:56.629><c> paint</c><00:08:56.730><c> this</c><00:08:56.990><c> picture</c><00:08:57.309><c> like</c><00:08:57.509><c> we</c><00:08:57.649><c> did</c><00:08:57.750><c> of</c>

00:08:59.970 --> 00:09:05.690
He's<00:09:00.230><c> rich,</c><00:09:00.850><c> he's</c><00:09:01.149><c> young,</c><00:09:01.570><c> he's</c><00:09:01.870><c> a</c><00:09:01.889><c> ruler,</c><00:09:02.309><c> and</c><00:09:03.710><c> in</c><00:09:04.289><c> a</c><00:09:04.429><c> way,</c><00:09:04.950><c> you</c><00:09:05.129><c> know,</c><00:09:05.450><c> we</c>

00:09:06.669 --> 00:09:09.350

we<00:09:13.269><c> are</c><00:09:13.389><c> in</c><00:09:13.549><c> our</c><00:09:13.769><c> youth,</c><00:09:14.570><c> and</c><00:09:14.870><c> we</c><00:09:15.090><c> try</c><00:09:15.350><c> to</c>

00:09:19.529 --> 00:09:21.549
So<00:09:19.649><c> nothing</c><00:09:19.830><c> wrong</c><00:09:20.129><c> with</c><00:09:20.330><c> that.</c>

00:09:22.210 --> 00:09:24.529
Moving<00:09:22.429><c> on,</c><00:09:23.009><c> how</c><00:09:23.190><c> was</c><00:09:23.350><c> his</c><00:09:23.529><c> approach?</c>

00:09:24.590 --> 00:09:27.889
It<00:09:24.730><c> says,</c><00:09:25.149><c> there</c><00:09:25.149><c> came</c><00:09:25.450><c> one</c><00:09:25.710><c> running</c><00:09:26.250><c> and</c><00:09:26.990><c> kneeled</c><00:09:27.309><c> to</c><00:09:27.450><c> him.</c>

00:09:28.330 --> 00:09:30.750
And<00:09:28.509><c> this</c><00:09:28.610><c> is</c><00:09:28.769><c> the</c><00:09:28.909><c> picture</c><00:09:29.129><c> that</c><00:09:29.269><c> we've</c><00:09:29.470><c> been</c><00:09:29.909><c> talking</c><00:09:30.169><c> about,</c><00:09:30.490><c> of</c>

the<00:09:30.929><c> word</c><00:09:31.129><c> worship</c><00:09:31.669><c> and</c><00:09:32.210><c> that</c><00:09:32.690><c> image</c>

00:09:33.029 --> 00:09:35.090
that<00:09:33.230><c> it</c><00:09:33.230><c> can</c><00:09:33.509><c> create</c><00:09:33.710><c> in</c><00:09:33.850><c> our</c><00:09:34.009><c> minds</c><00:09:34.269><c> of</c><00:09:34.490><c> being</c><00:09:34.710><c> brought</c><00:09:34.929><c> to</c>

00:09:35.090 --> 00:09:37.649
our<00:09:35.269><c> knees,</c><00:09:36.110><c> of</c><00:09:36.289><c> that</c><00:09:36.549><c> need</c><00:09:36.850><c> that</c><00:09:37.149><c> we</c>

00:09:37.649 --> 00:09:41.549
realize<00:09:38.350><c> that</c><00:09:38.809><c> brings</c><00:09:39.190><c> us</c><00:09:39.690><c> to</c><00:09:39.889><c> the</c><00:09:39.970><c> Lord</c><00:09:40.149><c> Jesus</c><00:09:40.450><c> Christ.</c>

00:09:41.690 --> 00:09:44.070
So<00:09:41.870><c> this</c><00:09:42.029><c> man</c><00:09:42.250><c> was,</c><00:09:42.629><c> it</c><00:09:42.870><c> was</c><00:09:43.230><c> a</c><00:09:43.450><c> rare</c><00:09:43.710><c> sight.</c>

00:09:44.389 --> 00:09:46.809
This<00:09:44.549><c> was</c><00:09:44.850><c> a</c><00:09:44.970><c> zealous</c><00:09:45.269><c> man,</c><00:09:45.710><c> and</c><00:09:45.889><c> he</c><00:09:45.990><c> was</c><00:09:46.289><c> genuine.</c>

00:09:46.950 --> 00:09:49.250
He<00:09:47.029><c> was</c><00:09:47.370><c> reverent</c><00:09:47.929><c> in</c><00:09:48.110><c> his</c><00:09:48.289><c> approach.</c>

00:09:49.350 --> 00:09:52.490
He<00:09:49.509><c> was</c><00:09:49.669><c> one</c><00:09:49.850><c> of</c><00:09:49.950><c> the</c><00:09:50.129><c> top</c><00:09:50.370><c> men</c><00:09:50.909><c> who</c><00:09:51.250><c> was</c><00:09:51.509><c> genuine.</c>

00:09:52.610 --> 00:09:54.029
And<00:09:52.809><c> he</c><00:09:52.929><c> came</c><00:09:53.190><c> running.</c>

00:09:54.250 --> 00:09:56.809
And<00:09:54.730><c> when</c><00:09:54.850><c> you</c><00:09:54.950><c> think</c><00:09:55.070><c> about</c><00:09:55.289><c> that,</c><00:09:55.629><c> you</c><00:09:55.669><c> know,</c><00:09:55.830><c> how</c><00:09:55.970><c> many</c><00:09:56.190><c> people</c><00:09:56.509><c> do</c>

00:09:56.809 --> 00:09:58.289
you<00:09:56.970><c> know</c><00:09:57.149><c> today</c><00:09:57.450><c> that</c><00:09:57.669><c> come</c><00:09:57.850><c> running</c>

00:09:59.629 --> 00:10:03.230
When<00:10:00.230><c> there's</c><00:10:00.809><c> a</c><00:10:00.909><c> public</c><00:10:01.149><c> lecture,</c><00:10:01.570><c> how</c><00:10:01.710><c> many</c><00:10:01.909><c> people</c><00:10:02.190><c> are</c><00:10:02.809><c> sprinting</c><00:10:03.149><c> to</c>

00:10:03.230 --> 00:10:04.429
get<00:10:03.389><c> there?</c>

00:10:04.610 --> 00:10:07.110
You<00:10:04.610><c> know,</c><00:10:05.389><c> this</c><00:10:06.129><c> is</c><00:10:06.450><c> a</c><00:10:06.549><c> rare</c><00:10:06.730><c> sight.</c>

00:10:07.389 --> 00:10:11.330
People<00:10:07.669><c> don't</c><00:10:08.450><c> seek</c><00:10:09.029><c> this</c><00:10:09.529><c> out</c><00:10:09.889><c> when</c><00:10:10.169><c> they're</c><00:10:10.330><c> in</c><00:10:10.549><c> this</c><00:10:10.909><c> man's</c>

00:10:11.330 --> 00:10:12.750
position<00:10:11.590><c> sometimes.</c>

00:10:12.909 --> 00:10:14.690
He<00:10:12.990><c> was</c><00:10:13.210><c> zealous</c><00:10:13.590><c> about</c><00:10:13.889><c> meeting</c><00:10:14.129><c> the</c><00:10:14.370><c> Lord.</c>

00:10:15.029 --> 00:10:15.950
He<00:10:15.149><c> was</c><00:10:15.409><c> reverent.</c>

00:10:16.070 --> 00:10:17.870
He<00:10:16.169><c> was</c><00:10:16.389><c> respectful</c><00:10:16.909><c> when</c><00:10:17.029><c> he</c><00:10:17.210><c> got</c><00:10:17.370><c> there.</c>

00:10:18.190 --> 00:10:20.750
And<00:10:18.370><c> he</c><00:10:18.570><c> received</c><00:10:18.950><c> the</c><00:10:19.190><c> greatest</c><00:10:19.470><c> recommendation</c><00:10:20.149><c> any</c><00:10:20.509><c> man</c>

00:10:20.750 --> 00:10:21.450
could<00:10:21.009><c> have.</c>

00:10:21.950 --> 00:10:25.029
In<00:10:22.049><c> Mark</c><00:10:22.330><c> 10,</c><00:10:22.629><c> verse</c><00:10:22.809><c> 21,</c><00:10:23.210><c> it</c><00:10:23.370><c> says,</c><00:10:23.809><c> then</c><00:10:23.850><c> Jesus,</c><00:10:24.450><c> beholding</c>

00:10:25.029 --> 00:10:26.929
him,<00:10:25.769><c> loved</c><00:10:25.970><c> him.</c>

00:10:27.690 --> 00:10:31.230
There's<00:10:28.129><c> a</c><00:10:28.250><c> great</c><00:10:28.710><c> contrast</c><00:10:29.529><c> to</c><00:10:29.789><c> this</c><00:10:29.990><c> whole</c><00:10:30.230><c> story</c><00:10:30.710><c> in</c><00:10:31.009><c> Luke</c>

chapter<00:10:31.590><c> 10.</c>

00:10:32.250 --> 00:10:34.129
Let's<00:10:32.409><c> just</c><00:10:32.570><c> turn</c><00:10:32.690><c> over</c><00:10:32.850><c> there</c><00:10:32.970><c> for</c><00:10:33.110><c> a</c><00:10:33.190><c> second.</c>

00:10:38.570 --> 00:10:40.330
It's<00:10:39.009><c> a</c><00:10:39.129><c> different</c><00:10:39.330><c> approach.</c>

00:10:40.429 --> 00:10:43.230
It's<00:10:40.649><c> the</c><00:10:40.830><c> same</c><00:10:41.090><c> question,</c><00:10:41.809><c> and</c><00:10:41.990><c> that's</c><00:10:42.169><c> why</c><00:10:42.269><c> it's</c><00:10:42.429><c> a</c><00:10:42.450><c> good</c><00:10:42.669><c> contrast.</c>

00:10:43.330 --> 00:10:45.769
It's<00:10:43.490><c> a</c><00:10:43.610><c> different</c><00:10:43.809><c> answer</c><00:10:44.289><c> from</c><00:10:44.570><c> our</c><00:10:44.789><c> Lord,</c><00:10:45.350><c> and</c><00:10:45.490><c> we'll</c><00:10:45.590><c> look</c>

00:10:45.769 --> 00:10:46.850
at<00:10:45.809><c> that</c><00:10:46.009><c> in</c><00:10:46.070><c> a</c><00:10:46.149><c> little</c><00:10:46.289><c> bit.</c>

00:10:47.269 --> 00:10:52.750

00:10:53.789 --> 00:10:56.450
And<00:10:54.210><c> behold,</c><00:10:55.289><c> stop</c><00:10:55.570><c> and</c><00:10:55.889><c> take</c><00:10:56.169><c> notice.</c>

00:10:59.110 --> 00:11:00.090
So<00:10:59.389><c> he</c><00:10:59.429><c> didn't</c><00:10:59.590><c> come</c><00:10:59.789><c> running.</c>

00:11:00.250 --> 00:11:01.330

00:11:01.490 --> 00:11:05.470
He<00:11:01.730><c> stood</c><00:11:01.950><c> up</c><00:11:02.269><c> and</c><00:11:03.029><c> tempted</c><00:11:03.429><c> him,</c><00:11:04.230><c> saying,</c><00:11:04.750><c> he's</c><00:11:05.070><c> trying</c><00:11:05.230><c> to</c>

00:11:30.889 --> 00:11:41.950
I'm<00:11:31.149><c> back</c><00:11:31.370><c> in</c><00:11:31.570><c> Mark,</c><00:11:36.929><c> of</c><00:11:37.330><c> what</c><00:11:37.789><c> he's</c><00:11:41.129><c> just</c><00:11:41.450><c> been</c><00:11:41.669><c> through</c><00:11:41.830><c> in</c>

00:11:47.049 --> 00:11:50.370
Remember,<00:11:47.730><c> in</c><00:11:47.730><c> context,</c><00:11:48.350><c> the</c><00:11:48.470><c> disciples</c><00:11:48.850><c> are</c><00:11:49.029><c> bringing</c><00:11:49.450><c> the</c>

00:11:56.870 --> 00:11:57.289

00:11:57.509 --> 00:12:00.029
And<00:11:57.669><c> his</c><00:11:57.909><c> disciples</c><00:11:58.350><c> rebuked</c><00:11:58.889><c> those</c><00:11:59.230><c> that</c><00:11:59.470><c> brought</c><00:11:59.629><c> them.</c>

00:12:00.269 --> 00:12:03.789
But<00:12:00.450><c> when</c><00:12:00.649><c> Jesus</c><00:12:00.929><c> saw</c><00:12:01.269><c> it,</c><00:12:01.669><c> he</c><00:12:01.830><c> was</c><00:12:02.070><c> much</c><00:12:02.450><c> displeased.</c>

00:12:04.009 --> 00:12:08.789
A<00:12:04.269><c> few</c><00:12:04.389><c> verses</c><00:12:04.730><c> later,</c><00:12:05.970><c> he,</c><00:12:06.330><c> beholding</c><00:12:06.710><c> this</c><00:12:06.950><c> man,</c><00:12:07.610><c> loved</c><00:12:07.769><c> him.</c>

00:12:09.190 --> 00:12:12.169
But<00:12:09.549><c> previously,</c><00:12:10.090><c> he</c><00:12:10.210><c> was</c><00:12:10.429><c> much</c><00:12:10.830><c> displeased</c><00:12:11.330><c> with</c><00:12:11.490><c> his</c><00:12:11.690><c> disciples.</c>

00:12:12.169 --> 00:12:14.289

00:12:16.269 --> 00:12:17.970
But<00:12:16.309><c> there's</c><00:12:16.549><c> a</c><00:12:16.809><c> contrast</c><00:12:17.110><c> in</c><00:12:17.289><c> his</c><00:12:17.450><c> reaction.</c>

00:12:18.029 --> 00:12:19.370
It<00:12:18.289><c> changes.</c>

00:12:20.450 --> 00:12:23.429
And<00:12:20.450><c> Jesus</c><00:12:21.110><c> perhaps</c><00:12:21.669><c> read</c><00:12:21.929><c> this</c><00:12:22.169><c> man</c><00:12:22.330><c> like</c><00:12:22.549><c> a</c><00:12:22.690><c> book.</c>

00:12:23.730 --> 00:12:24.690
He<00:12:24.210><c> stared.</c>

00:12:24.730 --> 00:12:25.950
The<00:12:24.870><c> word</c><00:12:25.110><c> is</c><00:12:25.450><c> in</c><00:12:25.629><c> blepo.</c>

00:12:26.129 --> 00:12:30.029

00:12:30.490 --> 00:12:31.690
And<00:12:30.769><c> he</c><00:12:31.090><c> stared</c><00:12:31.230><c> at</c><00:12:31.429><c> him.</c>

00:12:31.909 --> 00:12:36.149
In<00:12:32.070><c> verse</c><00:12:32.690><c> 21,</c><00:12:33.710><c> it</c><00:12:33.769><c> says,</c><00:12:34.470><c> then</c><00:12:34.590><c> Jesus,</c><00:12:35.169><c> beholding</c><00:12:35.690><c> him,</c><00:12:36.110><c> that</c>

00:12:57.509 --> 00:12:58.649
So<00:12:57.830><c> he</c><00:12:57.970><c> loved</c><00:12:58.210><c> him.</c>

00:12:59.110 --> 00:13:00.710
He<00:12:59.370><c> loved</c><00:12:59.590><c> something</c><00:12:59.929><c> about</c><00:13:00.250><c> him.</c>

00:13:01.070 --> 00:13:03.009
He<00:13:01.289><c> was</c><00:13:01.509><c> a</c><00:13:01.730><c> complete</c><00:13:01.850><c> stranger,</c><00:13:02.389><c> wasn't</c><00:13:02.549><c> he?</c>

00:13:03.009 --> 00:13:07.950
But<00:13:03.529><c> Jesus</c><00:13:04.169><c> instantly</c><00:13:04.870><c> recognized</c><00:13:05.610><c> in</c><00:13:05.730><c> him</c><00:13:06.309><c> something</c><00:13:06.850><c> special.</c>

00:13:08.669 --> 00:13:09.669
Maybe<00:13:08.809><c> it</c><00:13:08.929><c> was</c><00:13:09.029><c> his</c><00:13:09.230><c> approach.</c>

00:13:10.009 --> 00:13:11.950
Maybe<00:13:10.210><c> it</c><00:13:10.309><c> was</c><00:13:10.590><c> his</c><00:13:11.330><c> attitude.</c>

00:13:12.370 --> 00:13:13.409
We<00:13:12.490><c> don't</c><00:13:12.690><c> know</c><00:13:12.870><c> exactly.</c>

00:13:13.710 --> 00:13:15.190
But<00:13:13.850><c> something</c><00:13:14.350><c> was</c><00:13:14.769><c> special.</c>

00:13:15.549 --> 00:13:17.230
And<00:13:15.629><c> it</c><00:13:15.769><c> says</c><00:13:15.909><c> he</c><00:13:16.129><c> loved</c><00:13:16.370><c> him.</c>

00:13:17.450 --> 00:13:19.750
And<00:13:17.570><c> there's</c><00:13:17.789><c> another</c><00:13:17.990><c> man</c><00:13:18.210><c> like</c><00:13:18.470><c> this</c><00:13:18.649><c> in</c><00:13:18.789><c> scripture</c><00:13:19.210><c> that</c>

00:13:25.690 --> 00:13:28.409
that<00:13:25.970><c> obviously</c><00:13:26.470><c> that</c><00:13:27.110><c> Jesus</c><00:13:27.509><c> loved</c><00:13:28.070><c> all</c>

00:13:28.409 --> 00:13:31.090

00:13:31.090 --> 00:13:34.269
But<00:13:31.409><c> he</c><00:13:31.830><c> doesn't</c><00:13:32.230><c> give</c><00:13:32.549><c> this</c><00:13:32.950><c> recommendation,</c><00:13:33.669><c> this</c><00:13:33.970><c> ringing</c>

00:13:36.049 --> 00:13:38.990
There's<00:13:36.129><c> only</c><00:13:36.370><c> a</c><00:13:36.590><c> few</c><00:13:37.289><c> set</c><00:13:37.549><c> examples</c><00:13:38.190><c> of</c><00:13:38.470><c> what</c><00:13:38.570><c> he</c><00:13:38.710><c> does.</c>

00:13:39.070 --> 00:13:42.909
John,<00:13:39.529><c> the</c><00:13:39.590><c> son</c><00:13:39.730><c> of</c><00:13:39.929><c> Zebedee,</c><00:13:40.649><c> the</c><00:13:40.809><c> disciples</c><00:13:41.409><c> in</c><00:13:41.769><c> John</c><00:13:42.029><c> chapter</c><00:13:42.309><c> 13,</c>

00:13:46.210 --> 00:13:48.610
So<00:13:46.370><c> there's</c><00:13:46.549><c> something</c><00:13:46.789><c> special</c><00:13:47.250><c> about</c><00:13:47.490><c> this</c><00:13:47.690><c> individual.</c>

00:13:48.950 --> 00:13:50.490
But<00:13:49.070><c> first,</c><00:13:49.330><c> we'd</c><00:13:49.570><c> like</c><00:13:49.629><c> to</c><00:13:49.750><c> get</c><00:13:49.870><c> to</c><00:13:50.009><c> the</c><00:13:50.210><c> warning.</c>

00:13:50.909 --> 00:13:51.950
What's<00:13:51.169><c> the</c><00:13:51.370><c> warning</c><00:13:51.570><c> in</c><00:13:51.750><c> this?</c>

00:13:51.990 --> 00:13:57.049
Because<00:13:52.250><c> there</c><00:13:52.509><c> was</c><00:13:52.830><c> another</c><00:13:53.090><c> example</c><00:13:53.769><c> of</c><00:13:54.269><c> someone</c><00:13:54.590><c> who</c><00:13:55.610><c> God</c><00:13:56.029><c> loved.</c>

00:13:57.210 --> 00:14:02.649
And<00:13:57.509><c> it</c><00:13:57.669><c> says</c><00:13:58.409><c> in</c><00:13:59.269><c> Nehemiah</c><00:13:59.830><c> 13</c><00:14:00.970><c> that</c><00:14:01.610><c> did</c><00:14:01.669><c> not</c><00:14:02.009><c> Solomon,</c><00:14:02.429><c> king</c>

00:14:02.649 --> 00:14:04.490
of<00:14:02.730><c> Israel,</c><00:14:03.210><c> sin</c><00:14:03.470><c> by</c><00:14:03.649><c> these</c><00:14:03.970><c> things?</c>

00:14:04.789 --> 00:14:07.929
Yet<00:14:04.950><c> among</c><00:14:05.210><c> many</c><00:14:05.490><c> nations</c><00:14:06.049><c> was</c><00:14:06.370><c> there</c><00:14:06.610><c> no</c><00:14:06.809><c> king</c><00:14:07.009><c> like</c><00:14:07.289><c> him</c><00:14:07.669><c> who</c>

00:14:07.929 --> 00:14:09.490
was<00:14:08.250><c> beloved</c><00:14:08.710><c> of</c><00:14:08.870><c> his</c><00:14:09.110><c> God.</c>

00:14:09.929 --> 00:14:13.029
And<00:14:10.149><c> God</c><00:14:10.330><c> made</c><00:14:10.529><c> him</c><00:14:10.830><c> king</c><00:14:11.309><c> over</c><00:14:11.649><c> all</c><00:14:11.889><c> Israel.</c>

00:14:13.190 --> 00:14:18.169
Nevertheless,<00:14:14.169><c> even</c><00:14:14.570><c> him</c><00:14:15.029><c> did</c><00:14:15.370><c> outlandish</c><00:14:15.970><c> women</c><00:14:16.549><c> cause</c><00:14:17.169><c> to</c><00:14:17.409><c> sin.</c>

00:14:18.789 --> 00:14:21.289
So<00:14:18.929><c> there's</c><00:14:19.110><c> a</c><00:14:19.230><c> little</c><00:14:19.370><c> comparison</c><00:14:19.929><c> because</c><00:14:20.490><c> Solomon</c><00:14:20.929><c> was</c><00:14:21.149><c> a</c>

00:14:21.289 --> 00:14:22.110
ruler,<00:14:21.730><c> right?</c>

00:14:22.110 --> 00:14:22.750
He<00:14:22.190><c> was</c><00:14:22.450><c> young.</c>

00:14:22.830 --> 00:14:23.549
He<00:14:22.929><c> was</c><00:14:23.169><c> rich.</c>

00:14:23.710 --> 00:14:26.250
We're<00:14:23.750><c> told</c><00:14:24.110><c> the</c><00:14:24.370><c> richest</c><00:14:24.570><c> man</c><00:14:25.110><c> in</c><00:14:25.730><c> the</c><00:14:25.909><c> land.</c>

00:14:26.250 --> 00:14:27.610
So<00:14:26.649><c> to</c><00:14:26.690><c> speak.</c>

00:14:27.830 --> 00:14:28.850
And<00:14:27.870><c> so</c><00:14:27.970><c> there's</c><00:14:28.149><c> a</c><00:14:28.370><c> comparison.</c>

00:14:29.309 --> 00:14:32.669
But<00:14:29.370><c> he</c><00:14:29.570><c> also</c><00:14:29.909><c> had</c><00:14:30.129><c> his</c><00:14:30.850><c> cross</c><00:14:31.250><c> to</c><00:14:31.470><c> bear</c><00:14:31.669><c> that</c><00:14:31.990><c> he</c><00:14:32.149><c> did</c><00:14:32.330><c> not</c><00:14:32.509><c> do</c>

00:14:32.669 --> 00:14:33.470
a<00:14:32.730><c> good</c><00:14:32.909><c> job</c><00:14:33.149><c> with.</c>

00:14:33.730 --> 00:14:38.490
And<00:14:33.909><c> we're</c><00:14:34.049><c> given</c><00:14:34.230><c> that</c><00:14:34.549><c> warning</c><00:14:35.029><c> as</c><00:14:35.710><c> a</c><00:14:35.970><c> comparison</c><00:14:36.529><c> in</c><00:14:36.909><c> Nehemiah</c><00:14:37.289><c> 13.</c>

00:14:39.269 --> 00:14:42.129
So<00:14:39.549><c> back</c><00:14:39.830><c> to</c><00:14:39.990><c> this</c><00:14:40.149><c> young</c><00:14:40.309><c> man</c><00:14:40.769><c> because</c><00:14:41.409><c> we</c><00:14:41.649><c> still</c><00:14:41.830><c> have</c><00:14:41.970><c> to</c>

00:14:42.129 --> 00:14:43.789
deal<00:14:42.269><c> with</c><00:14:42.429><c> his</c><00:14:42.710><c> obstacles.</c>

00:14:44.970 --> 00:14:46.470
How<00:14:45.149><c> was</c><00:14:45.309><c> his</c><00:14:45.470><c> approach?</c>

00:14:47.049 --> 00:14:49.029
So<00:14:47.250><c> he</c><00:14:47.350><c> comes</c><00:14:47.570><c> to</c><00:14:47.750><c> the</c><00:14:47.870><c> right</c><00:14:48.049><c> person.</c>

00:14:49.250 --> 00:14:52.710
He<00:14:49.350><c> evidently</c><00:14:49.730><c> had</c><00:14:49.909><c> heard</c><00:14:50.190><c> of</c><00:14:50.330><c> Jesus</c><00:14:50.830><c> and</c><00:14:51.389><c> knew</c><00:14:51.590><c> that</c><00:14:51.809><c> if</c><00:14:52.070><c> anyone</c><00:14:52.309><c> could</c><00:14:52.509><c> help</c>

00:14:52.710 --> 00:14:53.690
him<00:14:52.850><c> with</c><00:14:53.009><c> this</c><00:14:53.230><c> question,</c>

00:14:54.029 --> 00:14:55.870
it<00:14:54.169><c> was</c><00:14:54.370><c> the</c><00:14:54.450><c> Lord</c><00:14:54.570><c> Jesus</c><00:14:54.889><c> Christ.</c>

00:14:55.929 --> 00:14:57.490
He<00:14:56.250><c> came</c><00:14:56.470><c> in</c><00:14:56.529><c> the</c><00:14:56.669><c> right</c><00:14:56.909><c> way,</c><00:14:57.269><c> right?</c>

00:14:57.490 --> 00:15:01.210
He<00:14:57.590><c> came</c><00:14:57.830><c> running</c><00:14:58.269><c> because</c><00:14:58.730><c> he</c><00:14:58.889><c> knows</c><00:14:59.149><c> the</c><00:14:59.330><c> urgency</c><00:14:59.830><c> of</c><00:15:00.009><c> the</c><00:15:00.110><c> situation.</c>

00:15:02.110 --> 00:15:03.090
He<00:15:02.269><c> came</c><00:15:02.549><c> kneeling.</c>

00:15:03.250 --> 00:15:06.029
He<00:15:03.429><c> showed</c><00:15:03.570><c> that</c><00:15:03.750><c> he</c><00:15:04.009><c> recognized</c><00:15:04.470><c> that</c><00:15:04.649><c> Jesus</c><00:15:04.970><c> was</c><00:15:05.269><c> worthy</c><00:15:05.610><c> and</c><00:15:05.850><c> he</c>

00:15:06.029 --> 00:15:07.169
was<00:15:06.250><c> not.</c>

00:15:08.149 --> 00:15:12.370
He<00:15:08.429><c> came</c><00:15:08.870><c> for</c><00:15:09.129><c> the</c><00:15:09.309><c> right</c><00:15:09.549><c> purpose</c><00:15:10.350><c> because</c><00:15:11.409><c> this</c><00:15:11.649><c> young</c><00:15:11.850><c> man</c>

00:15:12.370 --> 00:15:14.850
came<00:15:12.750><c> pondering</c><00:15:13.409><c> the</c><00:15:13.730><c> right</c><00:15:14.309><c> questions,</c>

00:15:15.029 --> 00:15:15.330
right?

00:15:15.330 --> 00:15:16.250
The<00:15:15.470><c> right</c><00:15:15.690><c> issues.</c>

00:15:16.549 --> 00:15:19.730
He<00:15:16.710><c> was</c><00:15:17.330><c> asking</c><00:15:17.830><c> about</c><00:15:18.309><c> eternal</c><00:15:18.730><c> life.</c>

00:15:21.789 --> 00:15:24.590
We<00:15:22.129><c> live</c><00:15:22.330><c> in</c><00:15:22.450><c> a</c><00:15:22.570><c> world</c><00:15:22.710><c> really</c><00:15:22.990><c> that's</c><00:15:23.330><c> really</c><00:15:23.750><c> intellectually</c><00:15:24.149><c> advanced,</c>

00:15:24.590 --> 00:15:26.929
really<00:15:24.909><c> sophisticated</c><00:15:25.710><c> in</c><00:15:25.909><c> its</c><00:15:26.090><c> culture,</c><00:15:26.429><c> so</c><00:15:26.610><c> to</c><00:15:26.750><c> speak.</c>

00:15:27.029 --> 00:15:29.370
And<00:15:27.110><c> it's</c><00:15:27.450><c> getting</c><00:15:27.690><c> more</c><00:15:28.009><c> and</c><00:15:28.049><c> more</c><00:15:28.289><c> so</c><00:15:28.470><c> with</c><00:15:28.690><c> technology</c><00:15:29.149><c> in</c>

00:15:29.370 --> 00:15:30.629
every<00:15:29.809><c> way.</c>

00:15:30.649 --> 00:15:34.250
But<00:15:30.649><c> we</c><00:15:31.090><c> still</c><00:15:31.330><c> don't</c><00:15:31.529><c> have</c><00:15:31.710><c> people</c><00:15:32.169><c> that</c><00:15:32.409><c> are</c><00:15:32.509><c> like</c><00:15:32.769><c> this,</c><00:15:33.549><c> that</c><00:15:33.769><c> come</c><00:15:34.070><c> to</c>

the<00:15:34.490><c> truth</c><00:15:34.710><c> and</c><00:15:34.870><c> ask</c><00:15:35.149><c> the</c><00:15:35.309><c> right</c>

00:15:35.490 --> 00:15:35.990
questions.

00:15:36.149 --> 00:15:37.070
We<00:15:36.350><c> hold</c><00:15:36.690><c> seminars.</c>

00:15:37.149 --> 00:15:39.929
We<00:15:37.289><c> talk</c><00:15:37.529><c> about</c><00:15:37.730><c> what's</c><00:15:38.009><c> happening</c><00:15:38.169><c> in</c><00:15:38.289><c> the</c><00:15:38.409><c> world</c><00:15:38.549><c> with</c><00:15:38.809><c> prophecy</c><00:15:39.309><c> and</c>

00:15:41.250 --> 00:15:44.250
And<00:15:41.529><c> we</c><00:15:41.730><c> still</c><00:15:41.990><c> don't</c><00:15:42.210><c> have</c><00:15:42.429><c> people</c><00:15:42.730><c> that</c><00:15:42.950><c> have</c><00:15:43.070><c> this</c><00:15:43.289><c> approach.</c>

00:15:44.309 --> 00:15:46.690
So<00:15:44.490><c> if</c><00:15:44.610><c> there</c><00:15:44.809><c> is</c><00:15:45.110><c> a</c><00:15:45.330><c> positive</c><00:15:45.649><c> that</c><00:15:45.789><c> we</c><00:15:45.929><c> can</c><00:15:46.070><c> take</c><00:15:46.309><c> away</c><00:15:46.509><c> from</c>

this<00:15:46.909><c> man,</c><00:15:47.350><c> it</c><00:15:47.529><c> is</c><00:15:47.990><c> his</c><00:15:48.309><c> approach.</c>

00:15:49.169 --> 00:15:50.990
He<00:15:49.370><c> comes</c><00:15:49.690><c> asking</c><00:15:50.090><c> the</c><00:15:50.289><c> right</c><00:15:50.470><c> questions.</c>

00:15:51.129 --> 00:15:53.950
He's<00:15:51.509><c> pondering</c><00:15:51.929><c> the</c><00:15:52.169><c> things</c><00:15:52.509><c> of</c><00:15:52.750><c> eternity,</c><00:15:53.509><c> the</c><00:15:53.669><c> things</c><00:15:53.769><c> of</c>

00:15:54.590 --> 00:15:56.509

00:15:57.129 --> 00:16:00.669

00:16:23.889 --> 00:16:25.730
require<00:16:24.309><c> zero</c><00:16:24.730><c> talent.</c>

00:16:26.490 --> 00:16:27.370
Being<00:16:26.710><c> on</c><00:16:27.029><c> time.</c>

00:16:27.610 --> 00:16:28.389
He<00:16:27.730><c> was</c><00:16:27.889><c> on</c><00:16:28.090><c> time.</c>

00:16:28.509 --> 00:16:30.669
He<00:16:28.649><c> came</c><00:16:28.970><c> when</c><00:16:29.149><c> Christ</c><00:16:29.490><c> was</c><00:16:29.769><c> nearby,</c><00:16:30.169><c> didn't</c><00:16:30.389><c> he?</c>

00:16:31.029 --> 00:16:32.570
He<00:16:31.210><c> obviously</c><00:16:31.549><c> had</c><00:16:31.669><c> a</c><00:16:31.789><c> good</c><00:16:31.990><c> work</c><00:16:32.230><c> ethic.</c>

00:16:32.909 --> 00:16:35.610
He<00:16:33.110><c> showed</c><00:16:33.269><c> the</c><00:16:33.509><c> effort,</c><00:16:34.090><c> the</c><00:16:34.230><c> body</c><00:16:34.490><c> language,</c><00:16:35.070><c> the</c><00:16:35.269><c> energy,</c>

00:16:38.169 --> 00:16:39.909
And<00:16:38.289><c> we</c><00:16:38.389><c> could</c><00:16:38.549><c> back</c><00:16:38.669><c> these</c><00:16:38.830><c> up</c><00:16:38.970><c> with</c><00:16:39.149><c> Bible</c><00:16:39.370><c> verses,</c><00:16:39.710><c> but</c><00:16:39.830><c> I</c>

00:16:39.909 --> 00:16:41.970
think<00:16:40.049><c> this</c><00:16:40.330><c> is</c><00:16:40.950><c> simplified.</c>

00:16:42.970 --> 00:16:44.529
Was<00:16:43.129><c> he</c><00:16:43.389><c> coachable?</c>

00:16:46.289 --> 00:16:48.029
He<00:16:46.529><c> was</c><00:16:46.769><c> ready</c><00:16:47.169><c> to</c><00:16:47.389><c> be</c><00:16:47.610><c> coached.</c>

00:16:48.029 --> 00:16:49.110
He<00:16:48.230><c> asked</c><00:16:48.450><c> a</c><00:16:48.629><c> question.</c>

00:16:49.110 --> 00:16:51.409
But<00:16:49.690><c> maybe</c><00:16:49.970><c> he</c><00:16:50.149><c> thought</c><00:16:50.350><c> it</c><00:16:50.470><c> was</c><00:16:50.570><c> going</c><00:16:50.669><c> to</c><00:16:50.750><c> be</c><00:16:50.909><c> easier</c><00:16:51.289><c> than</c>

00:16:51.409 --> 00:16:52.389
it<00:16:51.669><c> was.</c>

00:16:53.429 --> 00:16:55.149
Did<00:16:53.870><c> he</c><00:16:53.990><c> do</c><00:16:54.190><c> extra?</c>

00:16:55.269 --> 00:16:55.809
He<00:16:55.549><c> did.</c>

00:16:55.929 --> 00:16:57.450
It<00:16:56.190><c> showed</c><00:16:56.309><c> in</c><00:16:56.429><c> his</c><00:16:56.669><c> life,</c><00:16:57.450><c> right?</c>

00:16:57.769 --> 00:16:59.190
Was<00:16:57.970><c> he</c><00:16:58.190><c> prepared?</c>

00:16:59.970 --> 00:17:04.690
There's<00:17:00.309><c> a</c><00:17:00.470><c> difference</c><00:17:00.629><c> with</c><00:17:00.870><c> being</c><00:17:01.490><c> prepared</c><00:17:02.250><c> and</c><00:17:02.690><c> being</c><00:17:03.049><c> prepared</c><00:17:03.409><c> to</c><00:17:03.710><c> change.</c>

00:17:05.349 --> 00:17:08.829
We<00:17:05.490><c> often</c><00:17:05.769><c> think</c><00:17:06.049><c> we're</c><00:17:06.369><c> prepared</c><00:17:06.829><c> for</c><00:17:07.009><c> this</c><00:17:07.150><c> situation,</c><00:17:07.710><c> right?</c>

00:17:09.130 --> 00:17:11.430
But<00:17:09.349><c> sometimes</c><00:17:09.829><c> life</c><00:17:10.069><c> throws</c><00:17:10.329><c> us</c><00:17:10.509><c> a</c><00:17:10.630><c> curve</c><00:17:10.809><c> ball</c><00:17:11.009><c> and</c><00:17:11.109><c> we</c><00:17:11.230><c> have</c>

to<00:17:11.849><c> change.</c>

00:17:12.210 --> 00:17:15.150
We<00:17:12.309><c> have</c><00:17:12.470><c> to</c><00:17:12.630><c> adapt</c><00:17:13.009><c> according</c><00:17:13.410><c> to</c><00:17:13.589><c> the</c><00:17:13.750><c> principles</c><00:17:14.009><c> of</c><00:17:14.230><c> the</c><00:17:14.369><c> word.</c>

00:17:15.329 --> 00:17:17.569
And<00:17:15.549><c> we</c><00:17:15.650><c> have</c><00:17:15.809><c> to</c><00:17:15.930><c> be</c><00:17:16.269><c> prepared</c><00:17:16.670><c> when</c><00:17:16.849><c> we</c><00:17:17.049><c> come</c><00:17:17.210><c> to</c><00:17:17.349><c> the</c><00:17:17.450><c> word</c>

00:17:19.750 --> 00:17:21.309
It's<00:17:20.390><c> for</c><00:17:20.529><c> our</c><00:17:20.769><c> instruction.</c>

00:17:21.410 --> 00:17:24.150
It's<00:17:21.509><c> for</c><00:17:21.730><c> our</c><00:17:22.049><c> correction</c><00:17:22.589><c> unto</c><00:17:22.950><c> good</c><00:17:23.190><c> works.</c>

00:17:24.269 --> 00:17:29.450

00:17:31.849 --> 00:17:36.890
he<00:17:32.089><c> was</c><00:17:32.450><c> not</c><00:17:32.730><c> prepared</c><00:17:33.289><c> for</c><00:17:34.190><c> the</c><00:17:34.630><c> words</c><00:17:34.990><c> which</c><00:17:35.289><c> the</c><00:17:35.470><c> Lord</c><00:17:35.609><c> spoke</c><00:17:35.930><c> to</c><00:17:36.089><c> him.</c>

00:17:37.230 --> 00:17:39.009
And<00:17:37.450><c> so</c><00:17:37.569><c> what</c><00:17:37.730><c> was</c><00:17:37.950><c> his</c><00:17:38.150><c> problem?</c>

00:17:41.710 --> 00:17:46.269
He<00:17:42.349><c> thought</c><00:17:42.630><c> salvation</c><00:17:43.349><c> was</c><00:17:43.869><c> a</c><00:17:44.190><c> reward</c><00:17:44.609><c> that</c><00:17:44.910><c> could</c><00:17:45.089><c> be</c><00:17:45.410><c> earned.</c>

00:17:46.549 --> 00:17:50.630
He<00:17:46.849><c> seems</c><00:17:47.130><c> to</c><00:17:47.349><c> think</c><00:17:47.509><c> that</c><00:17:47.690><c> if</c><00:17:48.170><c> he</c><00:17:48.289><c> can</c><00:17:48.450><c> just</c><00:17:48.730><c> do</c><00:17:49.029><c> enough</c><00:17:49.569><c> good</c><00:17:49.950><c> things,</c>

that<00:17:51.210><c> God</c><00:17:51.430><c> would</c><00:17:51.690><c> give</c><00:17:51.829><c> him</c><00:17:52.289><c> eternal</c><00:17:52.670><c> life</c><00:17:53.150><c> as</c><00:17:53.470><c> a</c><00:17:53.630><c> reward.</c>

00:17:55.750 --> 00:17:59.230
He<00:17:55.910><c> wasn't</c><00:17:56.170><c> satisfied</c><00:17:56.829><c> with</c><00:17:57.289><c> his</c><00:17:57.950><c> life</c><00:17:58.150><c> at</c><00:17:58.329><c> that</c><00:17:58.529><c> point,</c><00:17:58.890><c> right?</c>

00:17:59.230 --> 00:18:00.789
He's<00:17:59.490><c> obviously</c><00:17:59.890><c> asking</c><00:18:00.250><c> questions.</c>

00:18:00.789 --> 00:18:02.470
He's<00:18:01.029><c> trying</c><00:18:01.230><c> to</c><00:18:01.369><c> dig</c><00:18:01.509><c> deeper.</c>

00:18:02.650 --> 00:18:07.309

may<00:18:07.529><c> inherit?</c>

00:18:08.670 --> 00:18:10.230
What<00:18:08.950><c> good</c><00:18:09.289><c> thing</c><00:18:09.650><c> can</c><00:18:09.890><c> I</c><00:18:10.089><c> do?</c>

00:18:10.269 --> 00:18:14.990
What's<00:18:10.549><c> this</c><00:18:10.829><c> one</c><00:18:11.509><c> crowning</c><00:18:12.170><c> act</c><00:18:12.450><c> or</c><00:18:12.930><c> achievement</c><00:18:13.390><c> that</c><00:18:13.769><c> I</c>

00:18:15.769 --> 00:18:19.170
To<00:18:16.170><c> get</c><00:18:16.509><c> into</c><00:18:16.769><c> the</c><00:18:16.970><c> kingdom</c><00:18:17.289><c> almost</c><00:18:17.690><c> magically,</c><00:18:18.390><c> right?</c>

00:18:23.190 --> 00:18:27.089
And<00:18:23.750><c> that's</c><00:18:23.910><c> not</c><00:18:24.089><c> how</c><00:18:24.950><c> our</c><00:18:25.569><c> salvation</c><00:18:25.930><c> has</c><00:18:26.150><c> worked</c><00:18:26.309><c> out,</c><00:18:26.569><c> is</c><00:18:26.690><c> it?</c>

00:18:27.390 --> 00:18:28.690
It's<00:18:27.690><c> with</c><00:18:27.869><c> fear</c><00:18:28.150><c> and</c><00:18:28.410><c> trembling.</c>

00:18:28.970 --> 00:18:30.609

But<00:21:11.150><c> according</c><00:21:11.529><c> to</c><00:21:11.769><c> his</c><00:21:11.990><c> mercy</c><00:21:12.509><c> he</c><00:21:13.089><c> saved</c><00:21:13.349><c> us.</c>

00:21:14.509 --> 00:21:17.390
We<00:21:14.789><c> don't</c><00:21:15.009><c> discount</c><00:21:15.450><c> the</c><00:21:15.710><c> fact</c><00:21:15.890><c> that</c><00:21:16.049><c> we</c><00:21:16.170><c> have</c><00:21:16.329><c> to</c><00:21:16.470><c> live</c><00:21:16.609><c> a</c><00:21:16.789><c> life</c><00:21:17.130><c> in</c>

00:21:32.650 --> 00:21:35.329
But<00:21:33.009><c> it's</c><00:21:33.390><c> not</c><00:21:33.549><c> by</c><00:21:33.710><c> the</c><00:21:33.910><c> strength</c><00:21:34.150><c> of</c><00:21:34.329><c> our</c><00:21:34.450><c> own</c><00:21:34.650><c> arm.</c>

00:21:36.230 --> 00:21:39.049
So<00:21:36.930><c> what's</c><00:21:37.190><c> Christ's</c><00:21:37.930><c> response</c><00:21:37.970><c> to</c><00:21:38.130><c> him?</c>

00:21:40.130 --> 00:21:43.789
When<00:21:40.369><c> Christ</c><00:21:40.829><c> hears</c><00:21:41.349><c> what</c><00:21:41.549><c> this</c><00:21:41.769><c> man</c><00:21:41.950><c> wants,</c><00:21:42.369><c> he</c><00:21:42.549><c> responds</c><00:21:43.049><c> in</c>

00:21:47.789 --> 00:21:49.970
This<00:21:47.990><c> man</c><00:21:48.210><c> says</c><00:21:48.549><c> unto</c><00:21:48.829><c> him,</c>

00:21:59.509 --> 00:22:01.190
Why<00:21:59.769><c> callest</c><00:22:00.230><c> thou</c><00:22:00.589><c> me</c><00:22:00.930><c> good?</c>

00:22:01.630 --> 00:22:04.890
There<00:22:01.869><c> is</c><00:22:02.069><c> none</c><00:22:02.349><c> good</c><00:22:02.589><c> but</c><00:22:02.869><c> one</c><00:22:03.450><c> that</c><00:22:03.809><c> is</c><00:22:03.990><c> God.</c>

00:22:05.170 --> 00:22:07.529
He<00:22:05.410><c> doesn't</c><00:22:05.670><c> answer</c><00:22:05.990><c> the</c><00:22:06.150><c> question,</c><00:22:06.529><c> does</c><00:22:06.769><c> he?</c>

00:22:07.750 --> 00:22:10.369
He's<00:22:08.130><c> trying</c><00:22:08.349><c> to</c><00:22:08.390><c> get</c><00:22:08.549><c> to</c><00:22:08.710><c> the</c><00:22:08.829><c> fundamental</c><00:22:09.349><c> error</c><00:22:09.890><c> of</c><00:22:10.170><c> this</c>

00:22:14.369 --> 00:22:15.950

00:22:16.210 --> 00:22:18.730
We<00:22:16.289><c> have</c><00:22:16.430><c> to</c><00:22:16.589><c> realize</c><00:22:16.990><c> that</c><00:22:17.569><c> it's</c><00:22:17.789><c> not</c><00:22:17.970><c> of</c><00:22:18.109><c> our</c><00:22:18.269><c> own</c><00:22:18.450><c> strength.</c>

00:22:18.789 --> 00:22:21.390

00:24:02.049 --> 00:24:03.849
Another<00:24:02.650><c> translation</c><00:24:03.250><c> says,</c>

00:24:04.309 --> 00:24:07.509
The<00:24:04.309><c> goal</c><00:24:04.690><c> at</c><00:24:05.029><c> which</c><00:24:05.250><c> the</c><00:24:05.529><c> Torah</c><00:24:05.809><c> aims</c><00:24:06.369><c> is</c><00:24:06.930><c> Messiah,</c>

00:24:16.170 --> 00:24:19.809

00:24:33.349 --> 00:24:34.630
it<00:24:33.390><c> was</c><00:24:33.569><c> the</c><00:24:33.650><c> Lord</c><00:24:33.809><c> Jesus</c><00:24:34.130><c> Christ,</c>

00:24:34.809 --> 00:24:36.890
to<00:24:35.049><c> declare</c><00:24:35.470><c> God's</c><00:24:35.990><c> righteousness,</c>

00:24:36.990 --> 00:24:38.670

00:24:41.670 --> 00:24:42.349
So<00:24:41.890><c> Christ</c><00:24:42.089><c> says,</c>

00:24:42.509 --> 00:24:43.930
Don't<00:24:42.650><c> call</c><00:24:42.890><c> me</c><00:24:43.089><c> good.</c>

00:25:02.190 --> 00:25:06.190
So<00:25:02.670><c> we</c><00:25:03.150><c> think,</c><00:25:03.529><c> we</c><00:25:03.690><c> would</c><00:25:03.890><c> think</c><00:25:04.069><c> that</c><00:25:04.210><c> the</c><00:25:04.309><c> Lord</c><00:25:04.470><c> Jesus</c><00:25:04.789><c> Christ</c><00:25:05.069><c> was</c><00:25:05.309><c> good.</c>

00:25:06.410 --> 00:25:07.589
We<00:25:06.890><c> would</c><00:25:07.069><c> think</c><00:25:07.269><c> that.</c>

00:25:07.809 --> 00:25:09.210
In<00:25:07.869><c> John</c><00:25:08.049><c> 8</c><00:25:08.269><c>.29,</c><00:25:08.670><c> it</c><00:25:08.789><c> says,</c>

00:25:14.789 --> 00:25:17.230
it<00:25:14.890><c> says</c><00:25:15.049><c> that</c><00:25:15.210><c> he</c><00:25:15.289><c> was</c><00:25:15.829><c> tempted</c><00:25:16.150><c> in</c><00:25:16.430><c> all</c><00:25:16.710><c> points,</c>

00:25:18.670 --> 00:25:20.369
We<00:25:18.829><c> would</c><00:25:19.410><c> describe</c><00:25:19.869><c> that</c><00:25:20.190><c> good,</c>

In<00:26:18.029><c> Psalm</c><00:26:18.269><c> 16,</c><00:26:18.869><c> which</c><00:26:19.049><c> is</c><00:26:19.349><c> a</c><00:26:19.490><c> Messianic</c><00:26:20.009><c> Psalm,</c>

00:26:20.849 --> 00:26:21.970
it's<00:26:21.049><c> reported</c><00:26:21.470><c> that,</c>

00:26:22.269 --> 00:26:22.990
Say<00:26:22.329><c> to</c><00:26:22.490><c> the</c><00:26:22.650><c> Lord,</c>

00:26:23.250 --> 00:26:24.309
Thou<00:26:23.410><c> art</c><00:26:23.650><c> my</c><00:26:23.930><c> Lord,</c>

00:26:24.309 --> 00:26:26.829
I<00:26:24.690><c> have</c><00:26:24.950><c> no</c><00:26:25.269><c> good</c><00:26:25.710><c> apart</c><00:26:26.230><c> from</c><00:26:26.490><c> thee,</c>

00:26:27.109 --> 00:26:29.309
or<00:26:27.410><c> my</c><00:26:27.730><c> goodness</c><00:26:28.130><c> comes</c><00:26:28.710><c> from</c><00:26:28.970><c> thee.</c>

00:26:29.809 --> 00:26:32.289
So<00:26:30.089><c> only</c><00:26:30.470><c> the</c><00:26:30.690><c> Lord</c><00:26:30.849><c> Jesus</c><00:26:31.130><c> Christ</c><00:26:31.369><c> was</c><00:26:31.609><c> good</c>

00:26:32.289 --> 00:26:33.970
because<00:26:33.009><c> God</c><00:26:33.269><c> was</c><00:26:33.549><c> in</c><00:26:33.710><c> him,</c>

00:26:34.109 --> 00:26:35.430
not<00:26:34.269><c> in</c><00:26:34.430><c> a</c><00:26:34.509><c> Trinitarian</c><00:26:35.009><c> way,</c>

00:26:35.490 --> 00:26:37.809
in<00:26:35.589><c> that</c><00:26:35.730><c> the</c><00:26:35.950><c> word</c><00:26:36.109><c> of</c><00:26:36.329><c> God</c><00:26:36.690><c> was</c><00:26:37.049><c> made</c><00:26:37.349><c> flesh,</c>

00:26:38.049 --> 00:26:40.569
that<00:26:38.269><c> he</c><00:26:38.490><c> followed</c><00:26:38.789><c> the</c><00:26:39.009><c> commands</c><00:26:39.369><c> and</c><00:26:39.529><c> the</c><00:26:39.750><c> precepts</c>

00:26:40.569 --> 00:26:43.009
that<00:26:40.690><c> God</c><00:26:41.130><c> put</c><00:26:41.369><c> into</c><00:26:42.089><c> the</c><00:26:42.650><c> word,</c>

00:26:43.250 --> 00:26:45.369
and<00:26:43.509><c> he</c><00:26:43.970><c> put</c><00:26:44.170><c> them</c><00:26:44.509><c> into</c><00:26:44.789><c> his</c><00:26:45.069><c> heart.</c>

00:26:45.789 --> 00:26:47.210
So<00:26:45.970><c> he</c><00:26:46.029><c> was</c><00:26:46.190><c> just</c><00:26:46.349><c> like</c><00:26:46.529><c> the</c><00:26:46.609><c> rest</c><00:26:46.829><c> of</c><00:26:46.990><c> us.</c>

00:26:47.210 --> 00:26:48.109
He<00:26:47.349><c> was</c><00:26:47.789><c> tempted.</c>

00:26:48.170 --> 00:26:49.650
He<00:26:48.369><c> shared</c><00:26:48.569><c> our</c><00:26:48.789><c> nature,</c><00:26:49.329><c> right?</c>

00:26:49.730 --> 00:26:51.630
But<00:26:49.869><c> his</c><00:26:50.190><c> goodness</c><00:26:50.690><c> came</c><00:26:51.009><c> from</c><00:26:51.230><c> God,</c>

00:26:51.630 --> 00:26:55.049
and<00:26:52.069><c> our</c><00:26:52.390><c> goodness</c><00:26:52.849><c> can</c><00:26:53.190><c> come</c><00:26:53.349><c> from</c><00:26:53.490><c> that</c><00:26:53.730><c> same</c><00:26:53.970><c> place.</c>

00:26:56.150 --> 00:26:57.569
In<00:26:56.190><c> Romans</c><00:26:56.450><c> 3,</c><00:26:56.769><c> it</c><00:26:56.769><c> says,</c>

00:26:58.009 --> 00:26:58.569
As<00:26:58.009><c> it</c><00:26:58.170><c> is</c><00:26:58.349><c> written,</c>

00:26:58.750 --> 00:26:59.890
there<00:26:58.849><c> is</c><00:26:59.049><c> none</c><00:26:59.250><c> righteous,</c>

00:27:00.289 --> 00:27:01.950
no,<00:27:00.910><c> not</c><00:27:01.089><c> one.</c>

00:27:02.390 --> 00:27:03.970
And<00:27:02.569><c> the</c><00:27:02.769><c> fool</c><00:27:02.950><c> has</c><00:27:03.210><c> said</c><00:27:03.309><c> in</c><00:27:03.450><c> his</c><00:27:03.650><c> heart,</c>

00:27:04.269 --> 00:27:05.150
there<00:27:04.349><c> is</c><00:27:04.589><c> no</c><00:27:04.789><c> God.</c>

00:27:05.470 --> 00:27:06.289
They<00:27:05.650><c> are</c><00:27:05.849><c> corrupt.</c>

00:27:06.630 --> 00:27:08.690
They<00:27:06.730><c> have</c><00:27:06.950><c> done</c><00:27:07.130><c> abominable</c><00:27:08.230><c> works.</c>

00:27:09.170 --> 00:27:11.430
There<00:27:09.349><c> is</c><00:27:09.609><c> none</c><00:27:10.009><c> that</c><00:27:10.289><c> doeth</c><00:27:10.529><c> good.</c>

00:27:11.529 --> 00:27:13.190
And<00:27:11.750><c> we</c><00:27:11.869><c> see</c><00:27:11.990><c> that</c><00:27:12.190><c> every</c><00:27:12.430><c> day,</c><00:27:12.589><c> don't</c><00:27:12.769><c> we?</c>

00:27:13.529 --> 00:27:16.009
We<00:27:13.789><c> see</c><00:27:14.089><c> the</c><00:27:14.710><c> corruption</c><00:27:15.170><c> that's</c><00:27:15.410><c> in</c><00:27:15.509><c> the</c><00:27:15.650><c> world,</c>

00:27:16.170 --> 00:27:18.609
but<00:27:16.549><c> if</c><00:27:16.809><c> we</c><00:27:17.349><c> can</c><00:27:17.569><c> get</c><00:27:17.730><c> into</c><00:27:17.970><c> this</c><00:27:18.289><c> word</c>

00:27:18.609 --> 00:27:19.950
and<00:27:18.970><c> put</c><00:27:19.130><c> it</c><00:27:19.269><c> into</c><00:27:19.450><c> our</c><00:27:19.670><c> minds</c>

00:27:19.950 --> 00:27:21.930
and<00:27:20.190><c> eventually</c><00:27:20.849><c> into</c><00:27:21.190><c> our</c><00:27:21.410><c> hearts,</c>

00:27:22.269 --> 00:27:23.250
because<00:27:22.450><c> that's</c><00:27:22.730><c> the</c><00:27:22.869><c> goal,</c>

00:27:23.569 --> 00:27:26.450
that<00:27:23.950><c> we</c><00:27:24.230><c> realize</c><00:27:24.750><c> that</c><00:27:25.069><c> Christ</c><00:27:25.390><c> is</c><00:27:25.589><c> saying,</c>

00:27:26.529 --> 00:27:27.890
don't<00:27:26.650><c> call</c><00:27:26.910><c> me</c><00:27:27.109><c> good.</c>

00:27:28.289 --> 00:27:29.809
It's<00:27:28.450><c> a</c><00:27:28.589><c> lesson</c><00:27:28.789><c> that</c><00:27:28.970><c> we</c><00:27:29.109><c> all</c><00:27:29.329><c> have</c><00:27:29.490><c> to</c><00:27:29.650><c> learn,</c>

00:27:29.890 --> 00:27:32.589
that<00:27:30.029><c> no</c><00:27:30.309><c> flesh</c><00:27:30.650><c> should</c><00:27:30.869><c> glory</c><00:27:31.250><c> in</c><00:27:31.410><c> his</c><00:27:31.650><c> presence.</c>

00:27:33.509 --> 00:27:36.650
So<00:27:34.049><c> he</c><00:27:34.589><c> comes</c><00:27:34.890><c> to</c><00:27:35.089><c> the</c><00:27:35.230><c> master</c><00:27:35.589><c> teacher,</c>

00:27:36.869 --> 00:27:37.609
and<00:27:37.009><c> he</c><00:27:37.190><c> says,</c>

00:27:37.829 --> 00:27:39.730
but<00:27:37.910><c> if</c><00:27:38.089><c> thou</c><00:27:38.329><c> wilt</c><00:27:38.569><c> enter</c><00:27:38.990><c> into</c><00:27:39.230><c> life,</c>

00:27:40.069 --> 00:27:41.430
keep<00:27:40.250><c> the</c><00:27:40.470><c> commandments.</c>

00:27:41.609 --> 00:27:42.730
So<00:27:41.910><c> he's</c><00:27:42.109><c> kind</c><00:27:42.269><c> of</c><00:27:42.430><c> saying,</c>

00:27:43.029 --> 00:27:44.509
if<00:27:43.410><c> you</c><00:27:43.609><c> must</c><00:27:43.829><c> have</c><00:27:43.990><c> an</c><00:27:44.230><c> answer,</c>

00:27:45.009 --> 00:27:46.849
I'll<00:27:45.289><c> give</c><00:27:45.410><c> you</c><00:27:45.769><c> a</c><00:27:45.990><c> list.</c>

00:27:47.130 --> 00:27:50.009
And<00:27:47.650><c> like</c><00:27:48.170><c> we</c><00:27:48.329><c> talked</c><00:27:48.549><c> about</c><00:27:48.829><c> in</c><00:27:48.990><c> Luke</c><00:27:49.230><c> 10</c><00:27:49.490><c>.25,</c>

00:27:50.170 --> 00:27:51.210
what<00:27:50.349><c> answer</c><00:27:50.690><c> did</c><00:27:50.849><c> he</c><00:27:50.970><c> give</c>

00:27:51.210 --> 00:27:53.849
to<00:27:51.430><c> that</c><00:27:51.690><c> certain</c><00:27:51.930><c> lawyer</c><00:27:52.390><c> who</c><00:27:52.769><c> came</c><00:27:52.970><c> to</c><00:27:53.089><c> him</c>

00:27:54.569 --> 00:27:55.609
when<00:27:55.089><c> he</c><00:27:55.309><c> said,</c>

00:27:56.009 --> 00:27:58.069
what<00:27:56.009><c> shall</c><00:27:56.250><c> I</c><00:27:56.470><c> do</c><00:27:56.690><c> to</c><00:27:56.869><c> inherit</c><00:27:57.250><c> eternal</c><00:27:57.630><c> life?</c>

00:27:58.569 --> 00:28:02.009
He<00:27:58.690><c> gave</c><00:27:58.910><c> him</c><00:27:59.349><c> pretty</c><00:27:59.670><c> much</c><00:27:59.890><c> the</c><00:28:00.170><c> standard</c><00:28:00.789><c> Jewish</c><00:28:01.309><c> answer,</c>

00:28:02.509 --> 00:28:05.650
and<00:28:02.710><c> that</c><00:28:02.950><c> is</c><00:28:03.089><c> one</c><00:28:03.250><c> that</c><00:28:03.410><c> we</c><00:28:03.630><c> know</c><00:28:03.890><c> also</c><00:28:04.250><c> very</c><00:28:04.589><c> well.</c>

00:28:05.869 --> 00:28:07.630
Love<00:28:05.890><c> the</c><00:28:06.089><c> Lord</c><00:28:06.250><c> your</c><00:28:06.430><c> God</c><00:28:06.710><c> with</c><00:28:06.910><c> all</c><00:28:07.049><c> your</c><00:28:07.210><c> heart,</c>

00:28:07.930 --> 00:28:09.630
and<00:28:08.049><c> love</c><00:28:08.250><c> your</c><00:28:08.430><c> neighbor</c><00:28:08.750><c> as</c><00:28:09.069><c> yourself.</c>

00:28:10.049 --> 00:28:11.930
And<00:28:10.329><c> that's</c><00:28:10.569><c> a</c><00:28:10.730><c> breakdown,</c><00:28:11.170><c> really,</c>

00:28:12.269 --> 00:28:14.130
of<00:28:12.690><c> the</c><00:28:12.849><c> Ten</c><00:28:13.029><c> Commandments.</c>

00:28:14.470 --> 00:28:17.930
So<00:28:14.990><c> Christ</c><00:28:15.289><c> is</c><00:28:15.470><c> telling</c><00:28:15.670><c> him</c><00:28:15.930><c> to</c><00:28:16.289><c> keep</c><00:28:16.589><c> the</c><00:28:16.849><c> commandments,</c>

00:28:18.069 --> 00:28:19.950
and<00:28:18.069><c> he</c><00:28:18.309><c> saith</c><00:28:18.569><c> unto</c><00:28:18.809><c> him,</c>

00:28:20.269 --> 00:28:21.289
which?

00:28:21.589 --> 00:28:24.309
Which<00:28:22.109><c> commandments</c><00:28:22.630><c> would</c><00:28:22.970><c> you</c><00:28:23.109><c> like</c><00:28:23.250><c> me</c><00:28:23.410><c> to</c><00:28:23.589><c> keep?</c>

00:28:24.549 --> 00:28:25.910
And<00:28:24.750><c> he's</c><00:28:24.950><c> kind</c><00:28:25.109><c> of</c><00:28:25.250><c> thinking</c><00:28:25.369><c> to</c><00:28:25.549><c> himself,</c>

00:28:25.930 --> 00:28:27.029
and<00:28:26.069><c> you</c><00:28:26.150><c> can</c><00:28:26.309><c> kind</c><00:28:26.410><c> of</c><00:28:26.509><c> picture</c><00:28:26.690><c> this,</c>

00:28:27.029 --> 00:28:27.630
oh,<00:28:27.390><c> you</c><00:28:27.450><c> know,</c>

with<00:29:12.450><c> God.</c>

00:29:13.509 --> 00:29:15.450
The<00:29:13.950><c> last</c><00:29:14.390><c> half,</c>

00:29:21.170 --> 00:29:23.410
So<00:29:21.609><c> the</c><00:29:21.730><c> young</c><00:29:21.890><c> man</c><00:29:22.089><c> says</c><00:29:22.369><c> to</c><00:29:22.509><c> him,</c>

00:29:28.170 --> 00:29:29.890
Well,<00:29:28.630><c> he</c><00:29:28.869><c> is</c><00:29:29.089><c> a</c><00:29:29.250><c> youth,</c><00:29:29.509><c> remember?</c>

He's<00:29:30.730><c> young,</c>

00:29:32.089 --> 00:29:33.349

00:29:33.470 --> 00:29:35.009

00:29:35.210 --> 00:29:36.369
But<00:29:35.390><c> this</c><00:29:35.549><c> is</c><00:29:35.710><c> right</c><00:29:35.849><c> up</c><00:29:35.990><c> his</c><00:29:36.170><c> alley.</c>

00:29:37.309 --> 00:29:38.950
you're<00:29:37.509><c> basically</c><00:29:37.849><c> just</c><00:29:38.210><c> reteaching</c><00:29:38.569><c> me</c>

00:29:42.950 --> 00:29:45.450

00:30:47.369 --> 00:30:49.470
And<00:30:47.549><c> so</c><00:30:47.990><c> this</c><00:30:48.329><c> man</c><00:30:48.710><c> says,</c><00:30:49.250><c> you</c><00:30:49.250><c> know,</c>

00:30:49.750 --> 00:30:52.130
all<00:30:49.950><c> these</c><00:30:50.269><c> have</c><00:30:50.450><c> I</c><00:30:50.650><c> kept</c><00:30:50.829><c> for</c><00:30:51.009><c> my</c><00:30:51.170><c> youth</c><00:30:51.349><c> up.</c>

Or<00:30:53.710><c> diagnose</c><00:30:54.029><c> me.</c>

00:30:54.309 --> 00:30:55.849
You<00:30:54.410><c> know,</c><00:30:54.589><c> what</c><00:30:54.829><c> am</c><00:30:55.029><c> I</c><00:30:55.210><c> missing</c><00:30:55.450><c> here?</c>

00:30:56.269 --> 00:30:58.490
And<00:30:56.509><c> Jesus</c><00:30:56.750><c> is</c><00:30:56.970><c> trying</c><00:30:57.109><c> to</c><00:30:57.390><c> draw</c><00:30:57.569><c> something</c><00:30:57.890><c> out</c><00:30:58.109><c> of</c><00:30:58.250><c> him.</c>

00:30:58.869 --> 00:31:02.109
He's<00:30:59.150><c> trying</c><00:30:59.329><c> to</c><00:30:59.549><c> draw</c><00:30:59.730><c> out</c><00:30:59.930><c> his</c><00:31:00.170><c> relationship</c><00:31:00.910><c> with</c><00:31:01.170><c> God.</c>

00:31:02.869 --> 00:31:06.390
So<00:31:03.190><c> he</c><00:31:03.410><c> says,</c><00:31:04.230><c> okay,</c><00:31:04.710><c> you've</c><00:31:05.210><c> kept</c><00:31:05.289><c> that</c><00:31:05.589><c> list.</c>

00:31:06.529 --> 00:31:09.309
One<00:31:06.849><c> thing</c><00:31:07.549><c> you</c><00:31:08.289><c> lack.</c>

00:31:09.650 --> 00:31:11.509
He<00:31:09.710><c> tells</c><00:31:09.930><c> this</c><00:31:10.170><c> man</c><00:31:10.309><c> to</c><00:31:10.589><c> act.</c>

00:31:11.630 --> 00:31:13.509
He<00:31:11.789><c> tells</c><00:31:11.970><c> him</c><00:31:12.170><c> to</c><00:31:12.430><c> sell</c><00:31:12.670><c> his</c><00:31:12.930><c> possessions,</c>

to<00:31:14.089><c> give</c><00:31:14.309><c> to</c><00:31:14.490><c> the</c><00:31:14.690><c> poor,</c>

00:31:15.549 --> 00:31:18.710

00:31:20.170 --> 00:31:21.950
We<00:31:20.549><c> knew</c><00:31:20.750><c> that</c><00:31:21.069><c> we</c><00:31:21.250><c> know</c><00:31:21.410><c> from</c><00:31:21.509><c> this</c><00:31:21.730><c> person,</c>

00:31:22.910 --> 00:31:24.349

00:31:27.970 --> 00:31:30.009
He<00:31:28.329><c> knew</c><00:31:28.470><c> what</c><00:31:28.609><c> this</c><00:31:28.849><c> man's</c><00:31:29.269><c> problem</c><00:31:29.529><c> was.</c>

00:31:30.049 --> 00:31:32.109
And<00:31:30.529><c> he</c><00:31:30.650><c> goes</c><00:31:30.890><c> through</c><00:31:31.109><c> this</c><00:31:31.589><c> discussion</c>

00:31:32.109 --> 00:31:34.450
with<00:31:32.329><c> this</c><00:31:32.569><c> man</c><00:31:32.809><c> to</c><00:31:32.990><c> draw</c><00:31:33.210><c> it</c><00:31:33.349><c> out</c><00:31:33.490><c> of</c><00:31:33.650><c> him,</c>

00:31:34.490 --> 00:31:35.750
to<00:31:34.829><c> teach</c><00:31:35.109><c> him</c><00:31:35.309><c> something.</c>

00:31:35.890 --> 00:31:37.069
And<00:31:36.029><c> as</c><00:31:36.210><c> the</c><00:31:36.390><c> master</c><00:31:36.730><c> teacher,</c>

00:31:37.309 --> 00:31:38.910
he's<00:31:37.529><c> teaching</c><00:31:37.829><c> us</c><00:31:38.150><c> as</c><00:31:38.410><c> well.</c>

00:31:39.269 --> 00:31:40.470
First<00:31:39.450><c> of</c><00:31:39.589><c> all,</c><00:31:39.670><c> he's</c><00:31:39.990><c> teaching</c><00:31:40.130><c> him</c>

00:31:42.170 --> 00:31:43.329
To<00:31:42.309><c> be</c><00:31:42.509><c> giving.</c>

00:31:43.589 --> 00:31:44.769
You<00:31:43.650><c> have</c><00:31:43.849><c> lots</c><00:31:44.069><c> of</c><00:31:44.309><c> things,</c>

00:31:45.009 --> 00:31:46.410
give<00:31:45.210><c> some</c><00:31:45.369><c> away.</c>

00:31:46.849 --> 00:31:48.170
For<00:31:47.049><c> God</c><00:31:47.329><c> so</c><00:31:47.589><c> loved</c><00:31:47.730><c> the</c><00:31:47.930><c> world</c>

00:31:48.170 --> 00:31:50.589
that<00:31:48.390><c> he</c><00:31:48.609><c> gave</c><00:31:49.029><c> his</c><00:31:49.470><c> only</c><00:31:49.750><c> begotten</c><00:31:50.190><c> son</c>

00:31:50.589 --> 00:31:52.329
that<00:31:50.970><c> whosoever</c><00:31:51.589><c> believeth</c><00:31:51.910><c> in</c><00:31:52.109><c> him</c>

00:31:52.329 --> 00:31:53.329
should<00:31:52.549><c> not</c><00:31:52.829><c> perish,</c>

00:31:53.670 --> 00:31:55.049
but<00:31:53.789><c> have</c><00:31:53.990><c> everlasting</c><00:31:54.509><c> life.</c>

00:31:55.430 --> 00:31:57.289
And<00:31:55.589><c> we</c><00:31:55.630><c> have</c><00:31:55.750><c> lots</c><00:31:55.990><c> of</c><00:31:56.250><c> examples</c><00:31:56.509><c> of</c><00:31:56.849><c> giving</c>

00:31:57.289 --> 00:32:00.349
in<00:31:58.049><c> the</c><00:31:58.349><c> truth</c><00:31:58.829><c> and</c><00:31:59.269><c> in</c><00:31:59.450><c> the</c><00:31:59.549><c> Bible.</c>

00:32:01.069 --> 00:32:02.950
He<00:32:01.490><c> tells</c><00:32:01.630><c> him</c><00:32:01.730><c> to</c><00:32:01.910><c> take</c><00:32:02.049><c> up</c><00:32:02.170><c> his</c><00:32:02.369><c> cross</c>

00:32:02.950 --> 00:32:04.250

00:32:04.250 --> 00:32:06.930
So<00:32:05.049><c> if</c><00:32:05.190><c> you</c><00:32:05.289><c> must</c><00:32:05.549><c> have</c><00:32:05.809><c> one</c><00:32:06.170><c> thing,</c>

00:32:07.569 --> 00:32:10.250
sell<00:32:07.609><c> what</c><00:32:07.809><c> you</c><00:32:08.049><c> have</c><00:32:08.549><c> and</c><00:32:09.589><c> give</c><00:32:09.750><c> it</c><00:32:09.869><c> away.</c>

00:32:10.750 --> 00:32:13.109
Take<00:32:10.990><c> up</c><00:32:11.089><c> your</c><00:32:11.269><c> cross</c><00:32:11.710><c> and</c><00:32:11.950><c> follow</c><00:32:12.210><c> me.</c>

00:32:13.150 --> 00:32:14.910
But<00:32:13.329><c> this</c><00:32:13.490><c> is</c><00:32:13.630><c> really</c><00:32:13.829><c> the</c><00:32:14.049><c> superficial</c><00:32:14.490><c> problem,</c>

00:32:14.930 --> 00:32:16.190
isn't<00:32:15.150><c> it?</c>

00:32:16.269 --> 00:32:18.049
Well,<00:32:16.509><c> what</c><00:32:16.690><c> is</c><00:32:16.930><c> Jesus</c><00:32:17.309><c> getting</c><00:32:17.630><c> to?</c>

00:32:18.529 --> 00:32:20.329
What's<00:32:19.049><c> he</c><00:32:19.210><c> really</c><00:32:19.569><c> trying</c><00:32:19.809><c> to</c><00:32:19.970><c> deal</c><00:32:20.109><c> with</c>

00:32:20.329 --> 00:32:21.490
with<00:32:20.509><c> this</c><00:32:20.710><c> man?</c>

00:32:22.369 --> 00:32:25.309
Come<00:32:22.650><c> over</c><00:32:22.849><c> to</c><00:32:23.029><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:32:23.529><c> chapter</c><00:32:23.849><c> eight.</c>

which<00:32:54.250><c> I</c><00:32:54.509><c> command</c><00:32:54.730><c> thee</c><00:32:54.890><c> this</c><00:32:55.170><c> day</c>

00:32:57.569 --> 00:32:59.450
that<00:32:57.630><c> ye</c><00:32:57.849><c> may</c><00:32:57.990><c> live</c><00:32:58.490><c> and</c><00:32:58.849><c> multiply</c>

00:32:59.450 --> 00:33:02.029

which<00:33:02.430><c> the</c><00:33:02.710><c> Lord</c><00:33:02.950><c> swear</c><00:33:03.450><c> unto</c><00:33:03.809><c> your</c><00:33:03.990><c> fathers.</c>

00:33:05.869 --> 00:33:07.930
This<00:33:06.349><c> is</c><00:33:06.809><c> Moses,</c><00:33:07.170><c> right?</c>

00:33:08.029 --> 00:33:09.029
He's<00:33:08.269><c> telling</c><00:33:08.490><c> them</c><00:33:08.630><c> that</c><00:33:08.750><c> they</c><00:33:08.829><c> have</c>

00:33:13.950 --> 00:33:15.809
Look<00:33:14.130><c> down</c><00:33:14.309><c> in</c><00:33:14.430><c> verse</c><00:33:14.630><c> 18.</c>

00:33:16.210 --> 00:33:17.509
It<00:33:16.410><c> says,</c>

00:33:19.569 --> 00:33:22.130

as<00:33:31.069><c> it</c><00:33:31.230><c> is</c><00:33:31.410><c> this</c><00:33:31.650><c> day.</c>

00:33:33.349 --> 00:33:35.789
So<00:33:33.890><c> it</c><00:33:33.970><c> was</c><00:33:34.150><c> the</c><00:33:34.410><c> common</c><00:33:34.690><c> belief</c><00:33:35.009><c> of</c><00:33:35.210><c> the</c><00:33:35.369><c> day</c>

00:33:35.789 --> 00:33:38.049
that<00:33:36.509><c> the</c><00:33:36.769><c> strength</c><00:33:37.089><c> of</c><00:33:37.309><c> your</c><00:33:37.470><c> relationship</c>

00:33:38.049 --> 00:33:39.950
with<00:33:38.269><c> God</c><00:33:38.769><c> could</c><00:33:39.190><c> be</c><00:33:39.470><c> measured</c>

00:33:39.950 --> 00:33:40.970
by<00:33:40.450><c> your</c><00:33:40.650><c> riches,</c>

00:33:41.430 --> 00:33:42.230
by<00:33:41.569><c> what</c><00:33:41.730><c> you</c><00:33:41.950><c> had,</c>

00:33:42.289 --> 00:33:43.769
by<00:33:42.430><c> what</c><00:33:42.589><c> you</c><00:33:42.809><c> obtained.</c>

00:33:43.809 --> 00:33:45.009
And<00:33:43.910><c> so</c><00:33:44.029><c> this</c><00:33:44.250><c> man</c><00:33:44.549><c> thought</c>

00:33:45.009 --> 00:33:47.430
he<00:33:45.450><c> had</c><00:33:45.670><c> a</c><00:33:45.930><c> strong</c><00:33:46.430><c> relationship</c><00:33:46.970><c> with</c><00:33:47.170><c> God,</c>

00:33:47.450 --> 00:33:47.869
right?

00:33:47.990 --> 00:33:50.069
He<00:33:48.130><c> was</c><00:33:48.369><c> very</c><00:33:49.130><c> rich.</c>

00:33:50.410 --> 00:33:53.670
It<00:33:50.829><c> appeared</c><00:33:51.410><c> on</c><00:33:51.690><c> the</c><00:33:51.869><c> outward</c><00:33:52.190><c> looking</c><00:33:53.109><c> at</c><00:33:53.309><c> him</c>

00:33:53.670 --> 00:33:55.809
that<00:33:53.950><c> he</c><00:33:54.089><c> was</c><00:33:54.269><c> in</c><00:33:54.470><c> favor</c><00:33:54.690><c> with</c><00:33:54.890><c> God,</c>

00:33:55.829 --> 00:33:57.029
but<00:33:56.049><c> something</c><00:33:56.369><c> was</c><00:33:56.650><c> missing,</c>

00:33:57.349 --> 00:33:58.529
wasn't<00:33:57.509><c> it?</c>

00:33:58.589 --> 00:34:00.529
And<00:33:58.809><c> look</c><00:33:58.930><c> at</c><00:33:59.029><c> the</c><00:33:59.190><c> disciples'</c><00:33:59.869><c> reaction</c><00:33:59.970><c> to</c><00:34:00.170><c> this.</c>

00:34:00.529 --> 00:34:02.630
Come<00:34:00.990><c> back</c><00:34:01.190><c> over</c><00:34:01.329><c> to</c><00:34:01.410><c> Matthew</c><00:34:01.710><c> 19,</c>

00:34:04.130 --> 00:34:06.089
because<00:34:04.609><c> their</c><00:34:04.890><c> reaction</c><00:34:05.289><c> kind</c><00:34:05.509><c> of</c><00:34:05.789><c> confirms</c>

00:34:06.089 --> 00:34:06.769
what<00:34:06.269><c> we</c><00:34:06.450><c> just</c><00:34:06.650><c> said</c>

00:34:06.769 --> 00:34:08.909
about<00:34:06.950><c> the</c><00:34:07.230><c> common</c><00:34:07.509><c> belief</c><00:34:07.809><c> of</c><00:34:08.030><c> the</c><00:34:08.170><c> day.</c>

00:34:09.289 --> 00:34:10.789
They're<00:34:09.690><c> amazed,</c><00:34:10.329><c> aren't</c><00:34:10.530><c> they?</c>

00:34:11.010 --> 00:34:12.510
What<00:34:11.110><c> are</c><00:34:11.230><c> they</c><00:34:11.389><c> amazed</c><00:34:11.690><c> at?</c>

00:34:12.849 --> 00:34:15.769
Matthew<00:34:13.329><c> 19,</c><00:34:14.030><c> we'll</c><00:34:14.150><c> start</c><00:34:14.269><c> at</c><00:34:14.389><c> verse</c><00:34:14.590><c> 23.</c>

00:34:16.090 --> 00:34:17.170
When<00:34:16.250><c> he's</c><00:34:16.429><c> going</c><00:34:16.670><c> into</c><00:34:16.909><c> the</c><00:34:17.070><c> really</c>

00:34:17.170 --> 00:34:18.530
the<00:34:17.469><c> lessons</c><00:34:17.789><c> that</c><00:34:18.050><c> come</c><00:34:18.190><c> from</c><00:34:18.349><c> this,</c>

00:34:18.530 --> 00:34:19.110
he<00:34:18.670><c> says,</c>

00:34:19.550 --> 00:34:21.469
then<00:34:19.809><c> said</c><00:34:20.070><c> Jesus</c><00:34:20.429><c> unto</c><00:34:20.610><c> his</c><00:34:20.889><c> disciples,</c>

00:34:21.909 --> 00:34:23.230
verily<00:34:22.210><c> I</c><00:34:22.449><c> say</c><00:34:22.610><c> unto</c><00:34:22.829><c> you</c>

00:34:23.230 --> 00:34:25.510
that<00:34:23.630><c> a</c><00:34:23.829><c> rich</c><00:34:24.050><c> man</c><00:34:24.389><c> shall</c><00:34:24.650><c> hardly</c><00:34:25.110><c> enter</c>

00:34:25.510 --> 00:34:26.570

00:34:26.909 --> 00:34:28.230
And<00:34:27.250><c> again</c><00:34:27.469><c> I</c><00:34:27.670><c> say</c><00:34:27.809><c> unto</c><00:34:28.030><c> you,</c>

00:34:28.250 --> 00:34:29.650
it<00:34:28.369><c> is</c><00:34:28.610><c> easier</c><00:34:28.949><c> for</c><00:34:29.210><c> a</c><00:34:29.389><c> camel</c>

00:34:29.650 --> 00:34:31.329

00:34:31.329 --> 00:34:32.630
than<00:34:31.769><c> for</c><00:34:31.989><c> a</c><00:34:32.110><c> rich</c><00:34:32.309><c> man</c>

00:34:32.630 --> 00:34:34.829

00:34:34.909 --> 00:34:36.989
And<00:34:35.110><c> when</c><00:34:35.269><c> his</c><00:34:35.550><c> disciples</c><00:34:36.090><c> heard</c><00:34:36.489><c> it,</c>

00:34:37.190 --> 00:34:39.730
they<00:34:37.369><c> were</c><00:34:38.010><c> exceedingly</c><00:34:38.849><c> amazed,</c>

00:34:39.809 --> 00:34:43.030
saying,<00:34:41.010><c> who</c><00:34:41.369><c> then</c><00:34:41.690><c> can</c><00:34:41.849><c> be</c><00:34:42.130><c> saved?</c>

00:34:43.170 --> 00:34:44.730
Like,<00:34:43.469><c> if</c><00:34:43.650><c> these</c><00:34:43.889><c> people</c><00:34:44.110><c> with</c><00:34:44.429><c> riches</c>

00:34:44.730 --> 00:34:46.530
that<00:34:45.030><c> we</c><00:34:45.289><c> think</c><00:34:45.489><c> God</c><00:34:45.769><c> is</c><00:34:46.030><c> blessing,</c>

00:34:46.849 --> 00:34:48.929
if<00:34:47.070><c> they're</c><00:34:47.289><c> not</c><00:34:47.510><c> going</c><00:34:47.730><c> to</c><00:34:48.130><c> have</c><00:34:48.289><c> an</c><00:34:48.409><c> easy</c><00:34:48.650><c> time</c>

00:34:48.929 --> 00:34:49.789
getting<00:34:49.130><c> into</c><00:34:49.369><c> the</c><00:34:49.530><c> kingdom,</c>

00:34:50.289 --> 00:34:51.170
who<00:34:50.670><c> is?</c>

00:34:51.210 --> 00:34:52.369
Like,<00:34:51.469><c> who</c><00:34:51.610><c> is</c><00:34:51.849><c> going</c><00:34:51.969><c> to</c><00:34:52.110><c> be</c><00:34:52.250><c> saved?</c>

00:34:52.369 --> 00:34:54.769
Like,<00:34:52.730><c> I</c><00:34:52.889><c> have</c><00:34:53.090><c> no</c><00:34:53.329><c> hope,</c><00:34:53.789><c> right?</c>

00:34:54.969 --> 00:34:56.670
Because<00:34:55.349><c> they</c><00:34:55.550><c> were</c><00:34:55.710><c> looking</c><00:34:55.929><c> at</c><00:34:56.190><c> this</c>

00:34:56.670 --> 00:34:57.409
and<00:34:57.130><c> thinking,</c>

00:34:57.409 --> 00:34:58.630
it's<00:34:57.670><c> not</c><00:34:57.789><c> how</c><00:34:57.949><c> we</c><00:34:58.130><c> think</c><00:34:58.269><c> today.</c>

00:34:58.809 --> 00:34:59.630
You<00:34:58.889><c> know,</c><00:34:59.030><c> like</c><00:34:59.409><c> I</c><00:34:59.570><c> said,</c>

00:34:59.630 --> 00:35:00.389
we<00:34:59.789><c> look</c><00:34:59.949><c> at</c><00:35:00.090><c> the</c><00:35:00.230><c> rich</c>

00:35:00.389 --> 00:35:02.309
and<00:35:00.570><c> we</c><00:35:00.610><c> can</c><00:35:00.989><c> see</c><00:35:01.570><c> their</c><00:35:01.769><c> problems.</c>

00:35:02.329 --> 00:35:03.429
We<00:35:02.510><c> can</c><00:35:02.670><c> see</c><00:35:02.789><c> their</c><00:35:02.989><c> problems</c>

00:35:03.429 --> 00:35:05.730
in<00:35:03.869><c> all</c><00:35:04.289><c> different</c><00:35:04.570><c> aspects.</c>

00:35:05.769 --> 00:35:07.929
But<00:35:06.329><c> they</c><00:35:07.329><c> were</c><00:35:07.510><c> thinking</c>

00:35:07.929 --> 00:35:09.510
that<00:35:08.329><c> this</c><00:35:08.550><c> man</c><00:35:08.829><c> was</c><00:35:09.150><c> rich</c>

00:35:09.510 --> 00:35:11.369
because<00:35:09.809><c> he</c><00:35:09.949><c> was</c><00:35:10.110><c> being</c><00:35:10.429><c> blessed</c><00:35:10.730><c> by</c><00:35:10.989><c> God.</c>

00:35:11.869 --> 00:35:14.289
That<00:35:11.989><c> they</c><00:35:12.190><c> were</c><00:35:13.090><c> thinking</c>

00:35:14.289 --> 00:35:15.969
that<00:35:14.590><c> was</c><00:35:14.809><c> his</c><00:35:14.989><c> relationship</c><00:35:15.570><c> with</c><00:35:15.730><c> God.</c>

00:35:16.010 --> 00:35:16.670
And<00:35:16.190><c> so</c><00:35:16.289><c> was</c><00:35:16.409><c> he.</c>

00:35:17.050 --> 00:35:18.409
That's<00:35:17.369><c> his</c><00:35:17.550><c> problem.</c>

00:35:18.510 --> 00:35:21.489
So<00:35:18.710><c> Jesus</c><00:35:19.110><c> telling</c><00:35:19.429><c> him</c><00:35:19.869><c> to</c><00:35:20.510><c> give</c><00:35:20.730><c> away</c><00:35:20.949><c> his</c><00:35:21.210><c> riches</c>

00:35:21.489 --> 00:35:23.590
is<00:35:22.070><c> telling</c><00:35:22.349><c> him</c><00:35:22.849><c> to</c><00:35:23.170><c> dissolve</c>

00:35:23.590 --> 00:35:24.889
his<00:35:23.869><c> relationship</c><00:35:24.349><c> with</c><00:35:24.530><c> God.</c>

00:35:25.090 --> 00:35:26.750
It's<00:35:25.449><c> giving</c><00:35:25.670><c> that</c><00:35:25.929><c> away.</c>

00:35:26.909 --> 00:35:28.210
And<00:35:27.170><c> so</c><00:35:27.449><c> if</c><00:35:27.610><c> we</c><00:35:27.690><c> look</c><00:35:27.869><c> at</c><00:35:28.030><c> that,</c>

00:35:28.210 --> 00:35:29.409
if<00:35:28.369><c> he</c><00:35:28.590><c> becomes</c><00:35:28.889><c> poor,</c>

00:35:29.630 --> 00:35:30.869
he's<00:35:29.989><c> lost</c><00:35:30.230><c> his</c><00:35:30.530><c> standing,</c>

00:35:31.190 --> 00:35:33.349
which<00:35:31.449><c> he</c><00:35:31.789><c> thinks</c><00:35:32.070><c> he</c><00:35:32.429><c> equates</c><00:35:32.769><c> with</c>

00:35:33.349 --> 00:35:34.929

we<00:37:47.489><c> need</c><00:37:47.610><c> to</c><00:37:47.769><c> deal</c><00:37:47.869><c> with</c><00:37:48.090><c> it.</c>

00:37:49.030 --> 00:37:50.909
We<00:37:49.250><c> need</c><00:37:49.389><c> to</c><00:37:49.530><c> put</c><00:37:49.630><c> our</c><00:37:49.929><c> treasure</c><00:37:50.289><c> in</c><00:37:50.590><c> heaven.</c>

00:37:51.369 --> 00:37:53.889
Not<00:37:51.630><c> to</c><00:37:51.829><c> be</c><00:37:52.170><c> trusting</c><00:37:52.630><c> in</c><00:37:52.969><c> uncertain</c><00:37:53.369><c> riches,</c>

00:37:53.889 --> 00:37:56.030
as<00:37:54.530><c> the</c><00:37:54.690><c> Bible</c><00:37:54.929><c> says.</c>

00:37:56.190 --> 00:37:58.190
So<00:37:56.369><c> what</c><00:37:56.510><c> was</c><00:37:56.710><c> this</c><00:37:56.929><c> man's</c><00:37:57.329><c> decision?</c>

00:38:00.809 --> 00:38:02.829
One<00:38:01.130><c> thing</c><00:38:01.769><c> thou</c><00:38:02.170><c> lackest.</c>

00:38:03.250 --> 00:38:04.230
That's<00:38:03.409><c> what</c><00:38:03.530><c> we</c><00:38:03.710><c> talked</c><00:38:03.849><c> about.</c>

00:38:04.550 --> 00:38:05.989
How<00:38:04.730><c> do</c><00:38:04.909><c> we</c><00:38:05.030><c> compare?</c>

00:38:06.289 --> 00:38:08.889
It<00:38:06.489><c> says</c><00:38:06.710><c> that</c><00:38:07.349><c> his</c><00:38:07.630><c> face</c><00:38:07.909><c> dropped.</c>

00:38:09.409 --> 00:38:10.989
We<00:38:09.730><c> can</c><00:38:09.929><c> see</c><00:38:10.030><c> the</c><00:38:10.309><c> storm</c><00:38:10.590><c> clouds.</c>

00:38:11.269 --> 00:38:12.769
The<00:38:11.409><c> only</c><00:38:11.610><c> other</c><00:38:11.849><c> time</c><00:38:12.010><c> this</c><00:38:12.210><c> word</c><00:38:12.369><c> is</c><00:38:12.610><c> used,</c>

00:38:12.889 --> 00:38:13.889
this<00:38:12.969><c> word</c><00:38:13.269><c> sorrowful,</c>

00:38:14.250 --> 00:38:17.389
is<00:38:14.389><c> talking</c><00:38:14.610><c> about</c><00:38:14.829><c> when</c><00:38:15.050><c> the</c><00:38:15.349><c> sky</c><00:38:15.710><c> is</c><00:38:15.969><c> red</c><00:38:16.289><c> and</c><00:38:16.550><c> lowering</c>

00:38:17.650 --> 00:38:19.730
in<00:38:18.210><c> Matthew</c><00:38:18.570><c> 16,</c><00:38:19.230><c> verse</c><00:38:19.429><c> 3.</c>

00:38:19.750 --> 00:38:20.869
So<00:38:19.909><c> his</c><00:38:20.110><c> countenance</c><00:38:20.590><c> fell.</c>

00:38:20.969 --> 00:38:22.489
He<00:38:21.170><c> became</c><00:38:21.469><c> gloomy.</c>

00:38:22.829 --> 00:38:23.849
We<00:38:23.309><c> don't</c><00:38:23.510><c> really</c><00:38:23.750><c> know</c>

00:38:23.849 --> 00:38:25.889
what<00:38:24.010><c> the</c><00:38:24.090><c> end</c><00:38:24.309><c> of</c><00:38:24.409><c> this</c><00:38:24.610><c> man</c><00:38:24.809><c> was,</c><00:38:25.230><c> do</c><00:38:25.389><c> we?</c>

00:38:26.369 --> 00:38:27.829
We're<00:38:26.530><c> told</c><00:38:26.730><c> that</c><00:38:27.030><c> on</c><00:38:27.170><c> this</c><00:38:27.469><c> day,</c>

00:38:27.969 --> 00:38:30.889
he<00:38:28.090><c> left</c><00:38:28.429><c> sad</c><00:38:28.969><c> from</c><00:38:29.309><c> the</c><00:38:29.530><c> presence</c><00:38:29.769><c> of</c><00:38:29.949><c> our</c><00:38:30.090><c> Lord.</c>

00:38:30.989 --> 00:38:32.969
He<00:38:31.130><c> was</c><00:38:31.349><c> the</c><00:38:31.530><c> only</c><00:38:32.570><c> person</c>

00:38:32.969 --> 00:38:34.710
that's<00:38:33.369><c> reported</c><00:38:33.809><c> that</c><00:38:34.090><c> this</c><00:38:34.309><c> happened.</c>

00:38:35.130 --> 00:38:38.030
He<00:38:35.289><c> went</c><00:38:35.449><c> away</c><00:38:35.690><c> from</c><00:38:35.849><c> the</c><00:38:36.050><c> presence</c><00:38:36.269><c> of</c><00:38:36.469><c> our</c><00:38:36.630><c> Lord,</c><00:38:37.329><c> sad.</c>

00:38:38.050 --> 00:38:39.210
All<00:38:38.269><c> the</c><00:38:38.409><c> others</c><00:38:38.550><c> were</c><00:38:38.849><c> healed.</c>

00:38:39.409 --> 00:38:40.269
They<00:38:39.570><c> were</c><00:38:39.869><c> taught.</c>

00:38:40.610 --> 00:38:42.409
They<00:38:40.889><c> progressed</c><00:38:41.550><c> by</c><00:38:41.909><c> the</c><00:38:42.070><c> knowledge</c>

00:38:42.409 --> 00:38:43.869
that<00:38:42.670><c> the</c><00:38:42.769><c> Lord</c><00:38:42.909><c> departed</c><00:38:43.309><c> to</c><00:38:43.550><c> them.</c>

00:38:44.269 --> 00:38:46.170
He<00:38:44.429><c> was</c><00:38:44.630><c> the</c><00:38:44.789><c> master</c><00:38:45.130><c> teacher.</c>

00:38:46.469 --> 00:38:47.789
And<00:38:46.630><c> he</c><00:38:46.730><c> was</c><00:38:46.889><c> teaching</c><00:38:47.150><c> a</c><00:38:47.329><c> lesson</c>

00:38:47.789 --> 00:38:50.570
that<00:38:48.090><c> was</c><00:38:48.449><c> hard</c><00:38:48.889><c> to</c><00:38:49.590><c> hear</c><00:38:49.849><c> in</c><00:38:49.989><c> this</c><00:38:50.190><c> case.</c>

00:38:50.570 --> 00:38:53.010
And<00:38:51.329><c> so</c><00:38:51.469><c> I</c><00:38:51.590><c> often</c><00:38:51.789><c> think</c><00:38:51.989><c> about</c><00:38:52.250><c> that.</c>

00:38:53.190 --> 00:38:55.110
No<00:38:53.389><c> matter</c><00:38:53.929><c> what</c><00:38:54.170><c> relationship</c><00:38:54.630><c> it</c><00:38:54.809><c> is,</c>

00:38:55.349 --> 00:38:56.949
if<00:38:55.349><c> someone</c><00:38:56.010><c> tells</c><00:38:56.309><c> you</c><00:38:56.530><c> something</c>

00:38:56.949 --> 00:38:58.769
that's<00:38:57.369><c> hard</c><00:38:57.590><c> to</c><00:38:57.809><c> hear,</c>

00:38:59.409 --> 00:39:00.590
still<00:38:59.590><c> listen.</c>

00:39:00.929 --> 00:39:02.530
It<00:39:01.110><c> might</c><00:39:01.289><c> make</c><00:39:01.469><c> us</c><00:39:01.670><c> sad</c><00:39:01.949><c> and</c><00:39:02.170><c> gloomy,</c>

00:39:02.789 --> 00:39:04.250
but<00:39:02.929><c> it</c><00:39:03.010><c> can</c><00:39:03.250><c> still</c><00:39:03.429><c> make</c><00:39:03.610><c> you</c><00:39:03.829><c> change.</c>

00:39:04.369 --> 00:39:05.170
Think<00:39:04.590><c> about</c><00:39:04.849><c> it.</c>

00:39:05.289 --> 00:39:06.730
Think<00:39:05.489><c> about</c><00:39:05.650><c> what</c><00:39:05.809><c> that</c><00:39:06.030><c> person</c><00:39:06.329><c> is</c><00:39:06.590><c> saying.</c>

00:39:06.849 --> 00:39:08.289
And<00:39:06.949><c> if</c><00:39:07.050><c> they're</c><00:39:07.250><c> saying</c><00:39:07.389><c> it</c><00:39:07.530><c> in</c><00:39:07.550><c> the</c><00:39:07.670><c> right</c><00:39:07.909><c> spirit,</c>

00:39:08.530 --> 00:39:09.670
we<00:39:08.650><c> might</c><00:39:08.789><c> want</c><00:39:08.929><c> to</c><00:39:09.010><c> think</c><00:39:09.130><c> about</c><00:39:09.309><c> it.</c>

00:39:10.030 --> 00:39:12.090
We<00:39:10.190><c> can</c><00:39:10.630><c> still</c><00:39:10.889><c> have</c><00:39:11.090><c> a</c><00:39:11.190><c> lot</c><00:39:11.510><c> of</c><00:39:11.829><c> lessons.</c>

00:39:12.190 --> 00:39:12.869
We<00:39:12.289><c> make</c><00:39:12.469><c> mistakes.</c>

00:39:12.909 --> 00:39:13.849
We<00:39:13.010><c> need</c><00:39:13.170><c> to</c><00:39:13.269><c> be</c><00:39:13.510><c> corrected.</c>

00:39:14.110 --> 00:39:15.269
That's<00:39:14.389><c> why</c><00:39:14.510><c> we</c><00:39:14.630><c> have</c><00:39:14.829><c> individuals</c>

00:39:15.269 --> 00:39:17.090
around<00:39:15.630><c> us</c><00:39:15.849><c> that</c><00:39:15.969><c> can</c><00:39:16.090><c> do</c><00:39:16.269><c> that.</c>

00:39:17.150 --> 00:39:18.409
This<00:39:17.409><c> was</c><00:39:17.610><c> the</c><00:39:17.769><c> only</c><00:39:18.090><c> occasion</c>

00:39:18.409 --> 00:39:19.110
in<00:39:18.550><c> the</c><00:39:18.630><c> New</c><00:39:18.730><c> Testament</c>

00:39:19.110 --> 00:39:22.230
where<00:39:19.349><c> anyone</c><00:39:19.730><c> left</c><00:39:20.010><c> the</c><00:39:20.190><c> Lord's</c><00:39:20.630><c> presence,</c><00:39:21.469><c> sad.</c>

00:39:22.530 --> 00:39:23.670
But<00:39:22.730><c> we</c><00:39:22.769><c> don't</c><00:39:22.969><c> know</c><00:39:23.090><c> his</c><00:39:23.329><c> end.</c>

00:39:23.869 --> 00:39:25.610
We<00:39:23.989><c> can</c><00:39:24.190><c> draw</c><00:39:24.369><c> the</c><00:39:24.510><c> logical</c><00:39:24.949><c> conclusion</c>

00:39:25.610 --> 00:39:27.510
that<00:39:26.309><c> he</c><00:39:26.449><c> never</c><00:39:26.670><c> learned</c><00:39:26.849><c> from</c><00:39:27.090><c> this.</c>

00:39:27.829 --> 00:39:29.590
I<00:39:27.969><c> don't</c><00:39:28.070><c> think</c><00:39:28.150><c> that's</c><00:39:28.369><c> fair</c><00:39:28.550><c> to</c><00:39:28.650><c> him.</c>

00:39:30.329 --> 00:39:31.590
We<00:39:30.469><c> don't</c><00:39:30.710><c> know.</c>

00:39:32.030 --> 00:39:34.670
He<00:39:32.269><c> made</c><00:39:32.590><c> an</c><00:39:32.829><c> earthly</c><00:39:33.030><c> decision</c><00:39:33.429><c> in</c><00:39:33.610><c> this</c><00:39:33.789><c> moment.</c>

00:39:34.769 --> 00:39:36.449
He<00:39:34.929><c> chose</c><00:39:35.230><c> possession,</c><00:39:36.130><c> seemingly,</c>

00:39:36.829 --> 00:39:38.349
over<00:39:37.250><c> what</c><00:39:37.570><c> the</c><00:39:37.670><c> Lord</c><00:39:37.809><c> Jesus</c><00:39:38.130><c> Christ</c>

00:39:38.349 --> 00:39:39.730
was<00:39:38.510><c> trying</c><00:39:38.690><c> to</c><00:39:38.889><c> teach.</c>

00:39:40.650 --> 00:39:42.550
But<00:39:41.010><c> maybe</c><00:39:41.449><c> we</c><00:39:41.849><c> can</c><00:39:41.989><c> think</c><00:39:42.150><c> about</c><00:39:42.349><c> that</c>

00:39:42.550 --> 00:39:43.809
in<00:39:42.710><c> the</c><00:39:42.730><c> long</c><00:39:42.929><c> term.</c>

00:39:43.889 --> 00:39:46.250
If<00:39:44.289><c> he</c><00:39:44.449><c> did</c><00:39:44.849><c> make</c><00:39:45.110><c> that</c><00:39:45.329><c> decision,</c>

00:39:46.449 --> 00:39:48.010
eventually<00:39:46.889><c> his</c><00:39:47.190><c> youth</c><00:39:47.389><c> would</c><00:39:47.650><c> fade,</c>

00:39:48.010 --> 00:39:49.889
his<00:39:48.690><c> riches</c><00:39:48.929><c> would</c><00:39:49.130><c> be</c><00:39:49.369><c> gone,</c>

00:39:50.010 --> 00:39:52.050
and<00:39:50.389><c> he</c><00:39:50.510><c> wouldn't</c><00:39:50.690><c> be</c><00:39:50.909><c> young</c><00:39:51.030><c> anymore.</c>

00:39:53.389 --> 00:39:55.429
But<00:39:53.929><c> if</c><00:39:54.070><c> he</c><00:39:54.230><c> chose</c><00:39:54.489><c> the</c><00:39:54.650><c> right</c><00:39:54.849><c> way,</c>

00:39:55.610 --> 00:39:58.789

00:40:28.469 --> 00:40:29.630
And<00:40:28.570><c> so</c><00:40:28.690><c> this</c><00:40:29.269><c> teaching</c>

00:40:48.010 --> 00:40:49.050

00:40:49.449 --> 00:40:50.309
He<00:40:49.550><c> climbs</c><00:40:49.869><c> a</c><00:40:50.070><c> tree.</c>

00:40:50.429 --> 00:40:52.670
He's<00:40:50.849><c> a</c><00:40:51.010><c> wee</c><00:40:51.210><c> little</c><00:40:51.429><c> man,</c><00:40:51.710><c> remember?</c>

00:40:52.849 --> 00:40:54.670

00:40:59.349 --> 00:41:00.510
And<00:40:59.489><c> there's</c><00:40:59.590><c> a</c><00:40:59.670><c> lot</c><00:40:59.789><c> of</c><00:41:00.030><c> comparisons</c>
