That's<00:07:39.540><c> done.</c>

00:15:25.460 --> 00:15:26.559
Why?

00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:31.440
Not<00:15:27.820><c> because</c><00:15:28.059><c> I</c><00:15:28.240><c> don't</c><00:15:28.539><c> think</c><00:15:28.679><c> there</c><00:15:28.860><c> might</c><00:15:29.100><c> be</c><00:15:29.360><c> some</c><00:15:29.519><c> good</c><00:15:29.759><c> things</c><00:15:30.019><c> in</c><00:15:30.220><c> it.</c>

00:16:08.980 --> 00:16:12.299
Because<00:16:09.340><c> we</c><00:16:09.559><c> can</c><00:16:10.039><c> see</c><00:16:10.480><c> what</c><00:16:10.759><c> those</c><00:16:11.179><c> grand</c><00:16:11.580><c> principles</c><00:16:12.080><c> are</c>

all<00:16:12.519><c> about.</c>

00:16:13.500 --> 00:16:18.059
And<00:16:14.100><c> it</c><00:16:14.200><c> was</c><00:16:14.399><c> our</c><00:16:14.639><c> brother</c><00:16:14.940><c> Thomas</c><00:16:15.779><c> who</c><00:16:16.620><c> said</c><00:16:17.440><c> the</c><00:16:17.700><c> words.</c>

00:16:18.179 --> 00:16:23.480
Men<00:16:18.419><c> were</c><00:16:18.759><c> not</c><00:16:19.039><c> ushered</c><00:16:19.399><c> into</c><00:16:19.639><c> being</c><00:16:20.019><c> for</c><00:16:20.659><c> the</c><00:16:20.840><c> purpose</c><00:16:21.220><c> of</c><00:16:21.500><c> being</c><00:16:21.740><c> saved</c><00:16:22.220><c> or</c><00:16:22.539><c> lost.</c>

00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:27.000
It<00:16:23.820><c> was</c><00:16:24.120><c> God</c><00:16:24.460><c> manifestation,</c><00:16:25.659><c> not</c><00:16:25.940><c> human</c><00:16:26.320><c> salvation</c>

00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:29.720
that<00:16:27.500><c> was</c><00:16:27.740><c> the</c><00:16:27.980><c> great</c><00:16:28.179><c> purpose</c><00:16:28.559><c> of</c><00:16:28.799><c> the</c><00:16:29.019><c> eternal</c><00:16:29.320><c> Spirit.</c>

00:16:29.899 --> 00:16:32.019
And<00:16:30.100><c> we</c><00:16:30.299><c> know</c><00:16:30.559><c> that's</c><00:16:30.919><c> right.</c>

00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:35.840
Because<00:16:33.700><c> when</c><00:16:34.000><c> Adam</c><00:16:34.220><c> and</c><00:16:34.399><c> Eve</c><00:16:34.519><c> came</c><00:16:34.820><c> into</c><00:16:35.039><c> the</c><00:16:35.279><c> world,</c>

00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:44.919

00:16:45.620 --> 00:16:47.299

00:18:05.539 --> 00:18:06.500
Adam<00:18:05.980><c> sinned</c>

00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:52.640

Brethren<00:19:13.440><c> and</c><00:19:13.640><c> sisters,</c><00:19:13.819><c> we</c><00:19:14.079><c> know</c><00:19:14.539><c> that</c><00:19:14.839><c> like</c><00:19:15.039><c> produces</c><00:19:15.619><c> like.</c>

Of<00:19:29.019><c> course</c><00:19:29.359><c> we</c><00:19:29.519><c> can,</c><00:19:29.819><c> because</c><00:19:30.099><c> it's</c><00:19:30.440><c> father</c><00:19:30.680><c> is</c><00:19:30.920><c> literal</c><00:19:31.319><c> sin.</c>

00:19:33.140 --> 00:19:37.140
That's<00:19:33.480><c> how</c><00:19:33.940><c> sin</c><00:19:34.319><c> in</c><00:19:34.619><c> the</c><00:19:34.839><c> flesh</c><00:19:35.140><c> came</c><00:19:35.660><c> into</c><00:19:36.099><c> being.</c>

Jesus<00:19:45.000><c> Christ.</c>

00:19:47.859 --> 00:19:50.500

this<00:19:51.240><c> weekend,</c>

00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:53.859

00:19:53.859 --> 00:19:58.559

00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:18.240
Multitudinous.

00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:49.279
That's<00:20:47.339><c> the</c><00:20:47.539><c> cause,</c><00:20:47.799><c> brethren</c><00:20:48.119><c> and</c><00:20:48.380><c> sisters.</c>

Lord<00:22:10.180><c> Jesus</c><00:22:10.640><c> Christ</c><00:22:11.019><c> and</c><00:22:11.140><c> us.</c>

00:22:12.420 --> 00:22:17.279
There<00:22:12.680><c> was</c><00:22:12.980><c> a</c><00:22:13.299><c> tree</c><00:22:13.640><c> in</c><00:22:13.980><c> him</c><00:22:14.200><c> by</c><00:22:14.500><c> his</c><00:22:14.759><c> divine</c><00:22:15.180><c> begettal,</c><00:22:16.160><c> and</c>

00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:18.779
it<00:22:17.500><c> produced</c><00:22:17.980><c> good</c><00:22:18.279><c> fruit.</c>

00:22:19.180 --> 00:22:21.819
Or<00:22:19.400><c> there</c><00:22:19.519><c> was</c><00:22:19.740><c> another</c><00:22:20.019><c> tree</c><00:22:20.279><c> in</c><00:22:20.400><c> him</c><00:22:20.559><c> as</c><00:22:20.799><c> well.</c>

00:22:22.500 --> 00:22:25.880
But<00:22:22.619><c> it</c><00:22:22.779><c> was</c><00:22:23.019><c> held</c><00:22:23.240><c> to</c><00:22:23.519><c> dormancy</c><00:22:23.960><c> all</c><00:22:24.220><c> the</c><00:22:24.380><c> days</c><00:22:24.559><c> of</c><00:22:24.740><c> his</c><00:22:24.960><c> life.</c>

00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:28.700
So<00:22:26.640><c> there's</c><00:22:26.900><c> two</c><00:22:27.200><c> trees</c><00:22:27.519><c> in</c><00:22:27.700><c> him.</c>

00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:33.460
And<00:22:29.759><c> the</c><00:22:30.039><c> poisonous</c><00:22:30.500><c> tree</c><00:22:30.920><c> was</c><00:22:31.180><c> the</c><00:22:31.440><c> aim</c><00:22:31.599><c> of</c><00:22:31.920><c> Yahweh</c><00:22:32.640><c> in</c><00:22:33.220><c> the</c>

crucifixion<00:22:34.059><c> of</c><00:22:34.240><c> his</c><00:22:34.440><c> son.</c>

00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:39.039
And<00:22:35.720><c> as</c><00:22:35.960><c> Brother</c><00:22:36.359><c> Carter</c><00:22:36.660><c> rightly</c><00:22:37.220><c> says,</c><00:22:38.299><c> he</c><00:22:38.299><c> says</c><00:22:38.559><c> the</c><00:22:38.700><c> aim</c>

00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:47.299
of<00:22:39.339><c> God</c><00:22:39.920><c> was</c><00:22:40.920><c> against</c><00:22:41.940><c> that</c><00:22:42.420><c> exceeding</c><00:22:43.619><c> great</c><00:22:44.160><c> sinner</c><00:22:44.720><c> called</c><00:22:45.900><c> sin.</c>

00:22:48.460 --> 00:22:53.299
That<00:22:49.019><c> exceeding</c><00:22:50.059><c> great</c><00:22:50.579><c> sinner</c><00:22:51.299><c> called</c><00:22:52.119><c> sin.</c>

00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:56.380
Why<00:22:55.359><c> is</c><00:22:55.579><c> it</c><00:22:55.779><c> called</c><00:22:56.079><c> sin?</c>

00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:00.680
Because<00:22:57.380><c> its</c><00:22:57.740><c> father</c><00:22:58.259><c> was</c><00:22:58.859><c> actual</c><00:22:59.480><c> transgression.</c>

00:23:01.619 --> 00:23:03.500
And<00:23:01.900><c> so</c><00:23:02.180><c> that</c><00:23:02.460><c> was</c><00:23:02.720><c> the</c><00:23:02.900><c> aim</c><00:23:03.000><c> of</c><00:23:03.279><c> God.</c>

00:23:03.500 --> 00:23:07.740
And<00:23:03.640><c> he</c><00:23:03.799><c> lined</c><00:23:04.200><c> his</c><00:23:04.539><c> arrow</c><00:23:04.839><c> at</c><00:23:05.059><c> that</c><00:23:05.339><c> very</c><00:23:05.700><c> spot,</c><00:23:06.140><c> brethren</c><00:23:06.279><c> and</c><00:23:06.559><c> sisters,</c><00:23:07.420><c> and</c><00:23:07.579><c> he</c>

00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:13.339
And<00:23:11.599><c> he</c><00:23:11.900><c> got</c><00:23:12.240><c> the</c><00:23:12.559><c> aim.</c>

00:23:13.799 --> 00:23:15.940
Now<00:23:14.099><c> that's</c><00:23:14.599><c> the</c><00:23:14.740><c> objective.</c>

00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:20.680
But<00:23:17.259><c> what</c><00:23:17.599><c> is</c><00:23:17.839><c> the</c><00:23:18.039><c> motivation</c><00:23:18.819><c> of</c><00:23:19.319><c> the</c><00:23:19.480><c> Son</c><00:23:19.640><c> of</c><00:23:19.839><c> God?</c>

Well,<00:23:32.960><c> let</c><00:23:33.119><c> us</c><00:23:33.279><c> see</c><00:23:33.460><c> what</c><00:23:33.619><c> the</c><00:23:33.859><c> Scriptures</c><00:23:34.140><c> tell</c><00:23:34.440><c> us.</c>

00:23:41.980 --> 00:23:45.039
We<00:23:42.140><c> want</c><00:23:42.359><c> to</c><00:23:42.460><c> try</c><00:23:42.640><c> and</c><00:23:42.740><c> put</c><00:23:42.880><c> all</c><00:23:43.160><c> this</c><00:23:43.319><c> in</c><00:23:43.400><c> a</c><00:23:43.680><c> context.</c>

Because<00:24:11.720><c> my</c><00:24:12.079><c> father</c><00:24:12.640><c> is</c><00:24:13.220><c> greater</c><00:24:13.559><c> than</c><00:24:13.839><c> I.</c>

00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:21.480
How<00:24:17.700><c> would</c><00:24:18.019><c> this</c><00:24:18.400><c> man,</c><00:24:18.779><c> brethren</c><00:24:18.960><c> and</c><00:24:19.140><c> sisters,</c><00:24:20.500><c> ever</c><00:24:20.859><c> get</c><00:24:21.099><c> on</c>

00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:22.779
in<00:24:21.799><c> life?</c>

00:24:23.099 --> 00:24:28.859
For<00:24:23.660><c> a</c><00:24:23.940><c> real</c><00:24:24.500><c> companion,</c><00:24:27.160><c> a</c><00:24:27.160><c> real</c><00:24:27.799><c> friend.</c>

00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:33.980
There's<00:24:32.160><c> nobody</c><00:24:32.519><c> that</c><00:24:32.720><c> could</c><00:24:32.920><c> match</c><00:24:33.200><c> him.</c>

00:24:35.579 --> 00:24:39.539
So<00:24:35.740><c> he</c><00:24:35.900><c> has</c><00:24:36.160><c> to</c><00:24:36.440><c> seek</c><00:24:36.740><c> somebody</c><00:24:37.339><c> who</c><00:24:38.079><c> is</c><00:24:38.539><c> greater</c><00:24:38.900><c> than</c><00:24:39.259><c> him.</c>

00:24:39.819 --> 00:24:42.460
Now<00:24:40.079><c> we</c><00:24:40.319><c> all</c><00:24:40.720><c> know</c><00:24:40.960><c> that,</c><00:24:41.299><c> brethren</c><00:24:41.420><c> and</c><00:24:41.680><c> sisters,</c><00:24:41.900><c> we</c><00:24:42.099><c> all</c>

00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:51.119
They're<00:24:50.099><c> greater</c><00:24:50.619><c> than</c><00:24:50.779><c> us.</c>

00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:53.119
They<00:24:51.539><c> can</c><00:24:51.819><c> teach</c><00:24:52.119><c> us</c><00:24:52.339><c> something.</c>

00:24:53.180 --> 00:24:56.299
We<00:24:53.500><c> have</c><00:24:53.720><c> an</c><00:24:54.000><c> attraction</c><00:24:54.500><c> to</c><00:24:54.700><c> that</c><00:24:54.880><c> person</c><00:24:55.339><c> because</c><00:24:55.880><c> they're</c>

00:24:59.059 --> 00:25:01.920
And<00:24:59.200><c> it</c><00:24:59.220><c> doesn't</c><00:24:59.480><c> matter</c><00:24:59.680><c> who</c><00:24:59.900><c> it</c><00:25:00.039><c> is,</c><00:25:00.279><c> it</c><00:25:00.319><c> might</c><00:25:00.559><c> be</c><00:25:00.740><c> the</c><00:25:00.900><c> smallest</c><00:25:01.299><c> person</c><00:25:01.759><c> in</c>

00:25:03.660 --> 00:25:07.200
They<00:25:03.980><c> can</c><00:25:04.259><c> tell</c><00:25:04.500><c> us</c><00:25:04.680><c> something</c><00:25:05.119><c> about</c><00:25:05.619><c> the</c><00:25:05.819><c> Word</c><00:25:06.000><c> of</c><00:25:06.140><c> God,</c><00:25:07.039><c> as</c>

00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:09.299
I<00:25:07.420><c> have</c><00:25:07.599><c> been</c><00:25:07.759><c> told</c><00:25:07.980><c> on</c><00:25:08.180><c> this</c><00:25:08.359><c> weekend.</c>

00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:15.759
There<00:25:12.000><c> is</c><00:25:12.299><c> a</c><00:25:12.619><c> grand</c><00:25:13.000><c> attraction</c><00:25:13.680><c> to</c><00:25:14.079><c> get</c><00:25:14.319><c> with</c><00:25:14.640><c> somebody</c><00:25:15.359><c> who</c>

00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:18.180

00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:22.180
It<00:25:19.240><c> doesn't</c><00:25:19.559><c> matter</c><00:25:19.819><c> how</c><00:25:20.079><c> big</c><00:25:20.279><c> or</c><00:25:20.480><c> small</c><00:25:20.779><c> the</c><00:25:20.920><c> matter</c><00:25:21.140><c> is.</c>

00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:25.660
That's<00:25:23.519><c> the</c><00:25:23.660><c> motivation</c><00:25:24.339><c> for</c><00:25:24.619><c> the</c><00:25:24.779><c> Son</c><00:25:24.960><c> of</c><00:25:25.160><c> God,</c><00:25:25.460><c> brethren</c>

00:25:25.660 --> 00:25:26.200
and<00:25:25.880><c> sisters.</c>

00:25:26.700 --> 00:25:30.000
He<00:25:26.960><c> has</c><00:25:27.380><c> never</c><00:25:27.779><c> been</c><00:25:28.119><c> able,</c><00:25:28.420><c> apart</c><00:25:28.839><c> from</c><00:25:29.099><c> the</c><00:25:29.440><c> conversations</c>

00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:33.220

of<00:25:33.400><c> his</c><00:25:33.640><c> life,</c>

00:25:34.400 --> 00:25:38.859
there<00:25:34.500><c> was</c><00:25:35.039><c> nobody</c><00:25:35.579><c> on</c><00:25:36.019><c> earth</c><00:25:36.299><c> to</c><00:25:36.579><c> whom</c><00:25:36.700><c> he</c><00:25:36.880><c> could</c><00:25:37.140><c> repair</c><00:25:37.740><c> that</c><00:25:38.640><c> was</c>

00:25:38.859 --> 00:25:40.339
greater<00:25:39.180><c> than</c><00:25:39.319><c> him.</c>

00:25:41.099 --> 00:25:43.500
There<00:25:41.660><c> was</c><00:25:41.940><c> nobody</c><00:25:42.319><c> wiser.</c>

00:25:43.799 --> 00:25:47.240
There<00:25:44.440><c> was</c><00:25:44.740><c> nobody</c><00:25:45.220><c> with</c><00:25:45.539><c> more</c><00:25:45.859><c> counsel</c><00:25:46.359><c> and</c><00:25:46.619><c> knowledge</c><00:25:46.980><c> and</c>

00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:49.440

00:25:49.460 --> 00:25:51.680
None<00:25:49.720><c> could</c><00:25:50.000><c> match</c><00:25:50.259><c> him.</c>

00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:56.980
He's<00:25:52.599><c> therefore</c><00:25:53.000><c> a</c><00:25:53.180><c> very</c><00:25:53.480><c> lonely</c><00:25:53.779><c> man,</c><00:25:54.200><c> isn't</c><00:25:54.339><c> he,</c><00:25:55.759><c> on</c><00:25:56.079><c> earth?</c>

00:25:57.799 --> 00:25:59.960
He's<00:25:58.140><c> a</c><00:25:58.200><c> very</c><00:25:58.519><c> lonely</c><00:25:58.859><c> man.</c>

00:26:01.359 --> 00:26:03.559
And<00:26:01.519><c> there's</c><00:26:01.779><c> something</c><00:26:02.140><c> that</c><00:26:02.400><c> that</c><00:26:02.640><c> man</c><00:26:02.859><c> wanted,</c><00:26:03.359><c> brethren</c>

00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:06.839

00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:11.759
And<00:26:07.799><c> we're</c><00:26:08.000><c> going</c><00:26:08.099><c> to</c><00:26:08.279><c> see</c><00:26:08.460><c> how</c><00:26:08.759><c> Psalm</c><00:26:09.079><c> 16</c><00:26:09.920><c> tells</c><00:26:10.519><c> us</c><00:26:10.859><c> about</c><00:26:11.160><c> this.</c>

We<00:26:23.180><c> are</c><00:26:23.339><c> not</c><00:26:23.460><c> going</c><00:26:23.599><c> to</c><00:26:23.720><c> have</c><00:26:23.880><c> time</c><00:26:24.160><c> to</c><00:26:24.359><c> develop</c><00:26:24.700><c> these</c><00:26:25.039><c> matters,</c>
