00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:32.540
So<00:01:29.019><c> God</c><00:01:29.280><c> uses</c><00:01:29.680><c> expressions,</c><00:01:31.079><c> not</c><00:01:31.299><c> that</c><00:01:31.459><c> we</c><00:01:31.579><c> know</c><00:01:31.780><c> for</c><00:01:32.140><c> sure,</c>

00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:37.140
just<00:01:33.159><c> how</c><00:01:33.760><c> if</c><00:01:34.140><c> you</c><00:01:34.200><c> ever</c><00:01:34.420><c> saw</c><00:01:34.680><c> God</c><00:01:35.000><c> what</c><00:01:35.640><c> you</c><00:01:35.900><c> would</c><00:01:36.099><c> necessarily</c><00:01:36.739><c> see.</c>

00:01:46.019 --> 00:01:50.920
One<00:01:46.459><c> of</c><00:01:46.640><c> the</c><00:01:46.780><c> things</c><00:01:47.079><c> that</c><00:01:47.260><c> he</c><00:01:47.599><c> promises</c><00:01:48.060><c> us</c><00:01:48.739><c> is</c><00:01:49.459><c> that</c><00:01:49.760><c> we,</c><00:01:50.540><c> if</c>

00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:55.920

divine<00:01:56.180><c> nature.</c>

00:01:58.540 --> 00:02:01.379
And<00:01:58.980><c> that's</c><00:01:59.659><c> really</c><00:02:00.099><c> what</c><00:02:00.219><c> it's</c><00:02:00.400><c> all</c><00:02:00.620><c> about.</c>

00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:06.719
We<00:02:01.900><c> can</c><00:02:02.819><c> show</c><00:02:03.439><c> that</c><00:02:03.739><c> we're</c><00:02:04.000><c> willing</c><00:02:04.239><c> to</c><00:02:05.239><c> follow,</c><00:02:05.760><c> willing</c><00:02:05.939><c> to</c>

00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:11.599
develop<00:02:07.140><c> now</c><00:02:07.700><c> a</c><00:02:08.439><c> character</c><00:02:08.800><c> that's</c><00:02:09.159><c> like</c><00:02:09.340><c> his,</c><00:02:10.759><c> then</c><00:02:10.840><c> he's</c><00:02:11.120><c> prepared</c><00:02:11.419><c> to</c>

00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:13.180

00:02:13.539 --> 00:02:17.039
Which<00:02:14.219><c> means</c><00:02:14.539><c> we</c><00:02:14.699><c> would</c><00:02:15.139><c> never</c><00:02:15.419><c> die</c><00:02:15.740><c> again.</c>

00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:22.439
Now<00:02:18.620><c> I</c><00:02:18.680><c> think</c><00:02:18.900><c> we</c><00:02:19.240><c> always</c><00:02:19.699><c> must</c><00:02:20.099><c> have</c><00:02:20.599><c> a</c><00:02:20.939><c> healthy</c><00:02:21.219><c> respect</c><00:02:21.919><c> for</c>

00:02:25.740 --> 00:02:30.120

00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:36.060

they<00:03:30.199><c> tend</c><00:03:30.520><c> to</c><00:03:30.860><c> dry</c><00:03:31.099><c> up.</c>

00:03:31.620 --> 00:03:35.520
They<00:03:32.219><c> don't</c><00:03:32.439><c> develop</c><00:03:32.780><c> any</c><00:03:33.060><c> further</c><00:03:33.300><c> because</c><00:03:33.680><c> they</c><00:03:33.939><c> can't</c><00:03:34.379><c> understand</c><00:03:34.939><c> what</c><00:03:35.280><c> God</c>

00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:37.120
has<00:03:35.879><c> done.</c>

00:03:37.740 --> 00:03:41.120
Well<00:03:37.860><c> that</c><00:03:37.960><c> happens</c><00:03:38.319><c> quite</c><00:03:38.580><c> often</c><00:03:38.900><c> when</c><00:03:39.340><c> people</c><00:03:39.620><c> die</c><00:03:39.979><c> prematurely.</c>

00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:44.039
When<00:03:42.379><c> people</c><00:03:42.639><c> die</c><00:03:42.860><c> in</c><00:03:43.000><c> an</c><00:03:43.139><c> accident.</c>

00:03:44.500 --> 00:03:46.500
And<00:03:44.699><c> you</c><00:03:44.780><c> think,</c><00:03:45.099><c> well</c><00:03:45.159><c> why</c><00:03:45.319><c> did</c><00:03:45.500><c> God</c><00:03:45.719><c> do</c><00:03:46.000><c> that?</c>

00:03:46.860 --> 00:03:48.599
Why<00:03:47.139><c> did</c><00:03:47.340><c> God</c><00:03:47.520><c> allow</c><00:03:47.819><c> that</c><00:03:48.080><c> to</c><00:03:48.340><c> happen?</c>

00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:51.379
Why<00:03:49.139><c> didn't</c><00:03:49.439><c> God</c><00:03:49.719><c> stop</c><00:03:50.099><c> it</c><00:03:50.360><c> from</c><00:03:50.560><c> happening?</c>

00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:55.719
And<00:03:52.360><c> those</c><00:03:52.759><c> questions</c><00:03:53.159><c> in</c><00:03:53.379><c> our</c><00:03:53.599><c> mind,</c><00:03:54.639><c> not</c><00:03:55.060><c> being</c><00:03:55.319><c> answered,</c>

00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:58.120
sometimes<00:03:56.379><c> really</c><00:03:57.300><c> hurt</c><00:03:57.479><c> us.</c>

00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.840
So<00:03:58.560><c> that</c><00:03:58.780><c> we</c><00:03:59.159><c> don't</c><00:03:59.699><c> develop</c><00:04:00.639><c> properly.</c>

00:04:03.300 --> 00:04:09.879
Now<00:04:03.439><c> I</c><00:04:03.560><c> talked</c><00:04:04.000><c> a</c><00:04:04.199><c> little</c><00:04:04.419><c> bit</c><00:04:04.580><c> about</c><00:04:05.080><c> what</c><00:04:05.520><c> God</c><00:04:05.840><c> did</c><00:04:06.400><c> to</c><00:04:08.780><c> illustrate</c><00:04:09.580><c> how</c>

00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:15.000
he<00:04:10.060><c> was</c><00:04:10.379><c> going</c><00:04:10.620><c> to</c><00:04:12.259><c> help</c><00:04:12.919><c> us</c><00:04:13.419><c> follow</c><00:04:13.780><c> his</c><00:04:14.060><c> steps.</c>

00:04:15.180 --> 00:04:18.639
Like<00:04:15.340><c> it's</c><00:04:15.379><c> pretty</c><00:04:15.599><c> hard</c><00:04:15.759><c> to</c><00:04:16.000><c> follow</c><00:04:16.220><c> a</c><00:04:16.399><c> God</c><00:04:16.579><c> you</c><00:04:16.759><c> can't</c><00:04:17.300><c> literally</c><00:04:17.720><c> see.</c>

00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:20.399
And<00:04:19.560><c> he</c><00:04:19.699><c> knew</c><00:04:19.860><c> that</c><00:04:20.100><c> problem.</c>

00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:25.279
So<00:04:20.839><c> he</c><00:04:21.540><c> went</c><00:04:21.800><c> about</c><00:04:22.540><c> to</c><00:04:23.220><c> create</c><00:04:23.600><c> someone</c><00:04:24.139><c> we</c><00:04:24.620><c> could</c><00:04:24.879><c> see.</c>

00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:31.060
You<00:04:25.839><c> have</c><00:04:26.079><c> a</c><00:04:26.100><c> look</c><00:04:26.279><c> at</c><00:04:26.459><c> Luke</c><00:04:26.860><c> chapter</c><00:04:27.480><c> 1</c><00:04:28.579><c> to</c><00:04:28.920><c> see</c><00:04:29.100><c> what</c><00:04:29.300><c> this</c><00:04:29.519><c> means.</c>

00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:38.860
Now<00:04:35.180><c> there's</c><00:04:35.360><c> many</c><00:04:35.680><c> reasons</c><00:04:36.220><c> why</c><00:04:37.000><c> we</c><00:04:37.240><c> may</c><00:04:37.500><c> come</c><00:04:37.839><c> to</c><00:04:38.040><c> this</c><00:04:38.319><c> verse.</c>

00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:41.560
Luke<00:04:39.360><c> 1</c><00:04:39.779><c> verse</c><00:04:40.120><c> 35.</c>

00:04:42.339 --> 00:04:44.920
There<00:04:42.540><c> may</c><00:04:42.600><c> be</c><00:04:42.720><c> many</c><00:04:42.980><c> reasons</c><00:04:43.360><c> why</c><00:04:43.560><c> we</c><00:04:43.699><c> would</c><00:04:43.819><c> do</c><00:04:44.000><c> that.</c>

00:04:45.180 --> 00:04:49.079
But<00:04:45.319><c> what</c><00:04:45.439><c> I</c><00:04:45.540><c> want</c><00:04:45.720><c> to</c><00:04:45.939><c> show</c><00:04:46.079><c> you</c><00:04:46.339><c> here</c><00:04:46.639><c> is</c><00:04:46.959><c> that</c><00:04:47.120><c> this</c><00:04:47.339><c> was</c><00:04:47.620><c> God's</c><00:04:48.620><c> way</c>

00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:50.379
of<00:04:49.560><c> helping</c><00:04:49.819><c> us.</c>

00:04:50.540 --> 00:04:53.240
And<00:04:50.720><c> he</c><00:04:50.779><c> had</c><00:04:51.000><c> to</c><00:04:51.379><c> directly</c><00:04:51.839><c> intervene</c><00:04:52.439><c> to</c><00:04:52.680><c> do</c><00:04:52.779><c> it.</c>

00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:55.060
It<00:04:54.220><c> says,</c>

00:05:07.930 --> 00:05:12.560
Jesus<00:05:08.279><c> would</c><00:05:08.980><c> never</c><00:05:09.579><c> have</c><00:05:10.079><c> come</c><00:05:10.339><c> into</c><00:05:10.639><c> life</c><00:05:11.660><c> had</c><00:05:12.019><c> it</c><00:05:12.180><c> not</c><00:05:12.360><c> been</c>

00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:17.639
God's<00:05:13.180><c> direct</c><00:05:13.779><c> intervention</c><00:05:14.420><c> into</c><00:05:15.459><c> the</c><00:05:15.660><c> affairs</c><00:05:15.959><c> of</c><00:05:16.300><c> human</c><00:05:16.540><c> people.</c>

00:05:17.980 --> 00:05:21.740
The<00:05:18.079><c> facts</c><00:05:18.319><c> were</c><00:05:18.680><c> that</c><00:05:20.000><c> what</c><00:05:20.240><c> he</c><00:05:20.459><c> chose</c><00:05:20.759><c> to</c><00:05:21.040><c> do.</c>

00:05:21.740 --> 00:05:24.639
He<00:05:22.259><c> illustrated</c><00:05:22.779><c> that</c><00:05:23.040><c> we</c><00:05:23.279><c> couldn't</c><00:05:23.699><c> do</c><00:05:23.920><c> it</c><00:05:24.079><c> ourselves.</c>

00:05:24.899 --> 00:05:28.500
There<00:05:24.899><c> was</c><00:05:25.199><c> none</c><00:05:25.420><c> of</c><00:05:25.540><c> us</c><00:05:25.980><c> could</c><00:05:26.399><c> stand</c><00:05:26.759><c> up</c><00:05:27.019><c> and</c><00:05:27.300><c> declare</c><00:05:27.740><c> what</c>

00:05:28.500 --> 00:05:29.439
Jesus<00:05:28.920><c> Christ</c><00:05:29.240><c> did.</c>

00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:31.480
He<00:05:29.639><c> had</c><00:05:29.740><c> never</c><00:05:30.040><c> sinned.</c>

00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:33.319
So<00:05:31.720><c> God</c><00:05:31.899><c> created</c><00:05:32.459><c> Jesus</c><00:05:32.959><c> Christ.</c>

00:05:33.699 --> 00:05:35.720
You<00:05:34.040><c> must</c><00:05:34.319><c> always</c><00:05:34.939><c> remember</c><00:05:35.339><c> that.</c>

00:05:36.100 --> 00:05:38.220
He<00:05:36.180><c> would</c><00:05:36.560><c> never</c><00:05:36.899><c> have</c><00:05:37.240><c> happened.</c>

00:05:38.500 --> 00:05:43.139
Except<00:05:38.839><c> God</c><00:05:39.279><c> intervened</c><00:05:39.899><c> directly</c><00:05:40.579><c> into</c><00:05:41.180><c> the</c><00:05:42.279><c> affairs</c><00:05:42.639><c> of</c>

00:05:43.139 --> 00:05:44.379
men<00:05:43.300><c> and</c><00:05:43.480><c> women.</c>

00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:46.199
Now<00:05:45.220><c> why</c><00:05:45.399><c> did</c><00:05:45.560><c> he</c><00:05:45.620><c> do</c><00:05:45.819><c> it?</c>

00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:50.100
We'll<00:05:47.040><c> just</c><00:05:47.240><c> turn</c><00:05:47.459><c> over</c><00:05:47.660><c> to</c><00:05:47.819><c> John</c><00:05:48.120><c> chapter</c><00:05:48.560><c> 3</c><00:05:49.399><c> and</c><00:05:49.759><c> he</c><00:05:49.920><c> tells</c>

00:05:50.100 --> 00:05:51.800
us<00:05:50.279><c> what</c><00:05:50.439><c> he</c><00:05:50.540><c> had</c><00:05:50.699><c> in</c><00:05:50.899><c> mind.</c>

00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:59.959
John<00:05:55.899><c> chapter</c><00:05:56.319><c> 3</c><00:05:56.779><c> verses</c><00:05:57.379><c> 16</c><00:05:58.220><c> and</c><00:05:58.600><c> 17.</c>

00:06:01.980 --> 00:06:07.000
It<00:06:02.079><c> says</c><00:06:02.439><c> that</c><00:06:02.759><c> God</c><00:06:03.220><c> so</c><00:06:04.160><c> loved</c><00:06:04.360><c> the</c><00:06:04.620><c> world</c><00:06:05.379><c> that</c><00:06:06.060><c> he</c><00:06:06.279><c> gave</c><00:06:06.600><c> his</c>

00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:12.500
only<00:06:07.399><c> begotten</c><00:06:08.000><c> son</c><00:06:08.519><c> that</c><00:06:09.519><c> whosoever</c><00:06:10.220><c> believeth</c><00:06:10.680><c> in</c><00:06:10.920><c> him</c><00:06:11.259><c> should</c><00:06:11.660><c> not</c><00:06:12.100><c> perish,</c>

00:06:12.500 --> 00:06:15.120
but<00:06:13.339><c> have</c><00:06:13.540><c> everlasting</c><00:06:14.079><c> life.</c>

00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:20.439
For<00:06:15.579><c> God</c><00:06:15.879><c> sent</c><00:06:16.180><c> not</c><00:06:16.500><c> his</c><00:06:16.699><c> son</c><00:06:16.879><c> into</c><00:06:17.079><c> the</c><00:06:17.240><c> world</c><00:06:17.379><c> to</c><00:06:17.620><c> condemn</c><00:06:17.899><c> the</c><00:06:18.079><c> world,</c><00:06:18.519><c> but</c><00:06:18.560><c> that</c><00:06:18.759><c> the</c><00:06:18.959><c> world</c><00:06:19.220><c> through</c><00:06:19.420><c> him</c><00:06:19.660><c> might</c><00:06:19.920><c> be</c><00:06:20.220><c> saved.</c>

00:06:20.740 --> 00:06:23.399
So<00:06:20.920><c> whatever</c><00:06:21.139><c> we</c><00:06:21.399><c> make</c><00:06:21.600><c> of</c><00:06:21.720><c> it</c><00:06:21.860><c> and</c><00:06:22.100><c> however</c><00:06:22.360><c> we're</c><00:06:22.680><c> coming</c><00:06:23.079><c> to</c>

00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:24.860
this<00:06:23.639><c> conclusion,</c>

00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:29.639
what<00:06:25.800><c> God</c><00:06:26.040><c> wants</c><00:06:26.339><c> us</c><00:06:26.579><c> to</c><00:06:26.819><c> see</c><00:06:27.000><c> is</c><00:06:27.220><c> that</c><00:06:27.420><c> he</c><00:06:27.699><c> sent</c><00:06:27.939><c> his</c><00:06:28.300><c> son</c><00:06:28.759><c> into</c>

00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:31.439
the<00:06:29.860><c> world</c><00:06:30.079><c> for</c><00:06:30.279><c> our</c><00:06:30.560><c> benefit.</c>

00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:35.399
It's<00:06:32.500><c> up</c><00:06:32.579><c> to</c><00:06:32.759><c> us</c><00:06:33.000><c> to</c><00:06:33.199><c> try</c><00:06:33.259><c> to</c><00:06:33.379><c> recognize</c><00:06:33.819><c> what</c><00:06:34.480><c> benefit.</c>

00:06:35.939 --> 00:06:37.519
And<00:06:36.319><c> do</c><00:06:36.500><c> we</c><00:06:36.699><c> get</c><00:06:36.860><c> that</c><00:06:37.120><c> benefit?</c>

00:06:37.899 --> 00:06:40.560
Or<00:06:38.139><c> does</c><00:06:38.300><c> it</c><00:06:38.519><c> just</c><00:06:38.779><c> pass</c><00:06:39.120><c> us</c><00:06:39.660><c> by?</c>

00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:44.160
So<00:06:41.680><c> we</c><00:06:41.860><c> never</c><00:06:42.139><c> lost</c><00:06:42.480><c> sight</c><00:06:42.680><c> of</c><00:06:42.860><c> the</c><00:06:43.040><c> fact</c><00:06:43.259><c> that</c><00:06:43.459><c> we</c><00:06:43.600><c> are</c><00:06:43.819><c> really</c>

00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:44.819
following<00:06:44.439><c> God.</c>

00:06:44.980 --> 00:06:46.139
It's<00:06:45.040><c> his</c><00:06:45.259><c> plan.</c>

00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:49.319
But<00:06:46.480><c> now</c><00:06:46.879><c> we're</c><00:06:47.160><c> going</c><00:06:47.259><c> to</c><00:06:47.339><c> focus</c><00:06:47.639><c> on</c><00:06:47.860><c> the</c><00:06:48.019><c> one</c><00:06:48.120><c> he</c><00:06:48.420><c> sent.</c>

00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:53.860
Because<00:06:49.800><c> he</c><00:06:49.959><c> loved</c><00:06:50.160><c> the</c><00:06:50.379><c> world</c><00:06:50.879><c> and</c><00:06:51.379><c> he</c><00:06:51.579><c> wanted</c><00:06:51.759><c> us</c><00:06:52.040><c> to</c><00:06:52.199><c> be</c><00:06:52.459><c> saved</c><00:06:52.839><c> through</c><00:06:53.500><c> the</c>

00:06:53.860 --> 00:06:55.500
work<00:06:54.040><c> of</c><00:06:54.240><c> Jesus</c><00:06:54.579><c> Christ.</c>

00:06:56.300 --> 00:06:59.540
Okay,<00:06:56.560><c> you</c><00:06:56.699><c> have</c><00:06:56.819><c> a</c><00:06:56.819><c> look</c><00:06:57.000><c> at</c><00:06:57.319><c> John</c><00:06:57.680><c> chapter</c><00:06:58.160><c> 15</c><00:06:58.800><c> now.</c>

00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:01.540
And<00:07:00.199><c> look</c><00:07:00.339><c> at</c><00:07:00.480><c> this</c><00:07:00.680><c> analogy.</c>

00:07:04.579 --> 00:07:08.660
It<00:07:05.060><c> seems</c><00:07:05.399><c> to</c><00:07:05.540><c> be</c><00:07:05.639><c> that</c><00:07:05.779><c> God</c><00:07:06.220><c> understood</c><00:07:07.040><c> very</c><00:07:07.439><c> well</c><00:07:07.959><c> in</c><00:07:08.540><c> what</c>

00:07:08.660 --> 00:07:11.920
he<00:07:08.920><c> created</c><00:07:09.259><c> that</c><00:07:09.600><c> we</c><00:07:09.920><c> really</c><00:07:10.379><c> can't</c><00:07:10.720><c> understand</c><00:07:11.199><c> things</c><00:07:11.519><c> unless</c><00:07:11.720><c> we</c>

00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:13.639
can<00:07:12.120><c> hang</c><00:07:12.319><c> it</c><00:07:12.459><c> on</c><00:07:12.660><c> something.</c>

00:07:13.980 --> 00:07:17.639
We<00:07:13.980><c> can</c><00:07:14.339><c> get</c><00:07:14.519><c> a</c><00:07:14.579><c> little</c><00:07:14.720><c> mind,</c><00:07:15.199><c> a</c><00:07:15.319><c> little</c><00:07:15.480><c> figure</c><00:07:15.720><c> in</c><00:07:15.879><c> our</c><00:07:16.040><c> mind,</c><00:07:17.399><c> then</c>

00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:19.100
we<00:07:17.819><c> can</c><00:07:18.060><c> see</c><00:07:18.220><c> how</c><00:07:18.379><c> it</c><00:07:18.480><c> goes</c><00:07:18.740><c> together.</c>

00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:22.899
And<00:07:19.319><c> the</c><00:07:19.500><c> figure</c><00:07:19.720><c> is</c><00:07:20.720><c> laid</c><00:07:21.019><c> out</c><00:07:21.300><c> for</c><00:07:21.560><c> us</c><00:07:21.740><c> in</c><00:07:21.920><c> John</c><00:07:22.160><c> 15</c><00:07:22.579><c> in</c><00:07:22.740><c> the</c>

00:07:22.899 --> 00:07:24.879
first<00:07:23.100><c> few</c><00:07:23.279><c> verses</c><00:07:23.600><c> where</c><00:07:23.819><c> he</c><00:07:23.920><c> says,</c>

00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:28.819
I<00:07:25.399><c> am</c><00:07:25.600><c> the</c><00:07:25.800><c> vine,</c><00:07:26.779><c> my</c><00:07:27.139><c> father</c><00:07:27.399><c> is</c><00:07:27.600><c> the</c><00:07:27.740><c> husband</c><00:07:28.040><c> then.</c>

00:07:29.420 --> 00:07:31.519
You<00:07:29.980><c> think</c><00:07:30.180><c> of</c><00:07:30.300><c> what</c><00:07:30.399><c> that</c><00:07:30.600><c> means</c><00:07:30.939><c> young</c><00:07:31.199><c> people.</c>

00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:35.000
I<00:07:31.639><c> mean</c><00:07:31.720><c> a</c><00:07:31.779><c> lot</c><00:07:32.019><c> of</c><00:07:32.199><c> cases</c><00:07:32.540><c> people</c><00:07:32.860><c> have</c><00:07:33.100><c> said</c><00:07:33.300><c> that</c><00:07:33.740><c> Jesus</c><00:07:34.319><c> and</c>

00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:37.540
God<00:07:35.199><c> are</c><00:07:36.199><c> one</c><00:07:36.360><c> and</c><00:07:36.500><c> the</c><00:07:36.660><c> same.</c>

00:07:38.220 --> 00:07:40.819
Jesus<00:07:38.560><c> and</c><00:07:38.779><c> God</c><00:07:39.000><c> are</c><00:07:39.220><c> part</c><00:07:39.439><c> of</c><00:07:39.699><c> a</c><00:07:39.819><c> trinity.</c>

00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:44.699
That<00:07:42.399><c> they're</c><00:07:42.959><c> both</c><00:07:43.259><c> true</c><00:07:43.660><c> God.</c>

00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:46.759
They're<00:07:45.240><c> co</c><00:07:45.519><c>-equal,</c><00:07:45.939><c> they're</c><00:07:46.120><c> co</c><00:07:46.379><c>-eternal.</c>

00:07:46.860 --> 00:07:50.639
That's<00:07:47.259><c> the</c><00:07:47.540><c> terms</c><00:07:47.860><c> and</c><00:07:48.079><c> the</c><00:07:48.319><c> framework</c><00:07:48.660><c> of</c><00:07:48.959><c> the</c><00:07:49.180><c> trinitarian</c><00:07:49.740><c> view.</c>

00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:55.540
But<00:07:50.939><c> here</c><00:07:51.259><c> Jesus</c><00:07:51.800><c> likens</c><00:07:52.300><c> himself</c><00:07:52.819><c> to</c><00:07:53.100><c> just</c><00:07:53.600><c> a</c><00:07:53.879><c> vine</c><00:07:54.180><c> and</c><00:07:55.399><c> he</c>

00:07:55.540 --> 00:07:57.860
puts<00:07:55.720><c> God</c><00:07:55.959><c> in</c><00:07:56.120><c> the</c><00:07:56.220><c> position</c><00:07:56.540><c> of</c><00:07:57.139><c> the</c><00:07:57.319><c> gardener.</c>

00:07:57.860 --> 00:07:59.160
God's<00:07:58.560><c> the</c><00:07:58.759><c> husband</c><00:07:59.060><c> then.</c>

00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:00.800
He's<00:07:59.399><c> the</c><00:07:59.560><c> person</c><00:07:59.879><c> who</c><00:08:00.220><c> planned</c><00:08:00.439><c> it.</c>

00:08:00.819 --> 00:08:02.939
He's<00:08:01.160><c> the</c><00:08:01.319><c> person</c><00:08:01.579><c> who</c><00:08:01.980><c> obtained</c><00:08:02.439><c> the</c><00:08:02.740><c> vine.</c>

00:08:03.139 --> 00:08:05.139
He's<00:08:03.500><c> the</c><00:08:03.620><c> person</c><00:08:03.899><c> who</c><00:08:04.199><c> planted</c><00:08:04.480><c> it.</c>

00:08:05.139 --> 00:08:07.699
So<00:08:05.439><c> that</c><00:08:05.600><c> really</c><00:08:06.000><c> helps</c><00:08:06.300><c> us</c><00:08:06.579><c> understand</c><00:08:07.060><c> the</c><00:08:07.279><c> relationship</c>

00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:13.459
But<00:08:10.240><c> then</c><00:08:10.540><c> where</c><00:08:10.699><c> do</c><00:08:10.860><c> we</c><00:08:11.019><c> fit</c><00:08:11.220><c> in</c><00:08:11.439><c> except</c><00:08:11.819><c> verse</c><00:08:12.180><c> 2.</c>

00:08:22.980 --> 00:08:29.920

00:09:37.700 --> 00:09:39.019
That's<00:09:38.019><c> a</c><00:09:38.139><c> figure</c><00:09:38.340><c> in</c><00:09:38.500><c> the</c><00:09:38.620><c> scriptures.</c>

00:09:39.019 --> 00:09:43.559

00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:55.639
That's<00:09:52.440><c> pretty</c><00:09:52.679><c> conclusive</c><00:09:54.120><c> evidence</c><00:09:54.500><c> of</c><00:09:54.679><c> what</c><00:09:54.899><c> God</c><00:09:55.139><c> has</c><00:09:55.419><c> in</c>

00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:02.700
Now<00:09:58.860><c> look</c><00:09:59.139><c> at</c><00:09:59.379><c> the</c><00:09:59.740><c> example</c><00:10:00.179><c> he</c><00:10:00.279><c> gives</c><00:10:00.539><c> us</c><00:10:01.059><c> in</c><00:10:01.320><c> 1</c><00:10:01.659><c> Peter</c><00:10:01.980><c> chapter</c><00:10:02.419><c> 2.</c>

00:10:02.700 --> 00:10:06.480
We<00:10:02.779><c> like</c><00:10:03.000><c> to</c><00:10:04.559><c> put</c><00:10:04.559><c> a</c><00:10:04.659><c> fair</c><00:10:04.879><c> amount</c><00:10:05.080><c> of</c><00:10:05.220><c> attention</c><00:10:05.559><c> to</c><00:10:05.779><c> this</c><00:10:06.200><c> set</c>

00:10:14.940 --> 00:10:17.019
Now<00:10:15.019><c> you</c><00:10:15.159><c> talk</c><00:10:15.419><c> about</c><00:10:15.860><c> footsteps.</c>

00:10:17.779 --> 00:10:20.980
Well,<00:10:17.919><c> God</c><00:10:18.159><c> knew</c><00:10:18.559><c> that</c><00:10:19.159><c> we</c><00:10:19.700><c> would</c><00:10:19.899><c> need</c><00:10:20.120><c> them.</c>

00:10:22.019 --> 00:10:26.679
Now,<00:10:22.240><c> I</c><00:10:22.399><c> really</c><00:10:22.919><c> want</c><00:10:23.460><c> to</c><00:10:23.539><c> go</c><00:10:23.779><c> back</c><00:10:23.980><c> to</c><00:10:24.139><c> this</c><00:10:24.340><c> analogy</c><00:10:24.679><c> many,</c><00:10:25.059><c> many</c><00:10:25.299><c> times,</c><00:10:25.679><c> young</c><00:10:25.820><c> people,</c><00:10:26.159><c> because</c><00:10:26.360><c> I</c>

00:10:29.419 --> 00:10:33.000
It<00:10:29.980><c> can</c><00:10:30.259><c> be</c><00:10:30.480><c> just</c><00:10:30.799><c> fun</c><00:10:31.220><c> walking</c><00:10:31.759><c> behind</c><00:10:32.440><c> people.</c>

00:10:33.500 --> 00:10:37.139
In<00:10:33.740><c> some</c><00:10:33.960><c> cases</c><00:10:34.340><c> in</c><00:10:34.580><c> Canada,</c><00:10:35.500><c> I</c><00:10:35.700><c> know</c><00:10:36.019><c> when</c><00:10:36.240><c> I</c><00:10:36.379><c> was</c><00:10:36.580><c> a</c><00:10:36.659><c> kid</c><00:10:36.740><c> anyway,</c><00:10:37.120><c> it</c>

it,<00:10:44.779><c> and</c><00:10:44.779><c> it</c><00:10:45.120><c> would</c><00:10:45.220><c> just</c><00:10:45.399><c> take</c><00:10:45.539><c> the</c><00:10:45.759><c> back</c><00:10:45.980><c> of</c><00:10:46.080><c> the</c><00:10:46.220><c> shoe</c><00:10:46.399><c> off,</c>

00:10:49.299 --> 00:10:52.740
So<00:10:49.299><c> there's</c><00:10:50.820><c> fun</c><00:10:51.039><c> associated</c><00:10:51.639><c> with</c><00:10:51.919><c> following.</c>

00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:08.320
You<00:11:02.720><c> had</c><00:11:02.860><c> to</c><00:11:02.980><c> go</c><00:11:03.080><c> from</c><00:11:03.240><c> that</c><00:11:03.539><c> door</c><00:11:03.940><c> to</c><00:11:04.639><c> that</c><00:11:04.980><c> door,</c><00:11:05.980><c> and</c><00:11:06.179><c> somebody</c><00:11:06.600><c> had</c><00:11:06.960><c> planted</c><00:11:07.279><c> landmines</c><00:11:08.039><c> in</c>

this<00:11:08.600><c> room,</c><00:11:09.059><c> if</c><00:11:09.220><c> it</c><00:11:09.360><c> was</c><00:11:09.620><c> possible</c><00:11:10.139><c> to</c><00:11:10.379><c> do</c><00:11:10.539><c> that,</c><00:11:10.940><c> and</c><00:11:11.399><c> you</c><00:11:11.659><c> were</c><00:11:11.860><c> told</c><00:11:12.120><c> you</c>

A<00:13:38.539><c> letroset</c><00:13:38.919><c> is</c><00:13:39.100><c> where</c><00:13:39.279><c> you</c><00:13:39.940><c> peel</c><00:13:40.240><c> them</c><00:13:40.480><c> off,</c><00:13:40.679><c> a</c><00:13:40.820><c> piece</c><00:13:40.980><c> of</c><00:13:41.200><c> plastic.</c>

00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:46.820
So<00:13:42.659><c> you</c><00:13:42.740><c> could</c><00:13:42.940><c> get</c><00:13:43.299><c> a</c><00:13:43.480><c> whole</c><00:13:43.639><c> lot</c><00:13:43.820><c> of</c><00:13:44.039><c> fonts,</c><00:13:45.419><c> and</c><00:13:45.820><c> at</c><00:13:46.559><c> first</c>

00:13:46.820 --> 00:13:47.799
they<00:13:46.960><c> were</c><00:13:47.139><c> just</c><00:13:47.360><c> stencils.</c>

00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:49.980
You'd<00:13:48.039><c> buy</c><00:13:48.179><c> a</c><00:13:48.200><c> set</c><00:13:48.360><c> of</c><00:13:48.639><c> stencils,</c><00:13:49.080><c> you'd</c><00:13:49.279><c> get</c><00:13:49.379><c> every</c><00:13:49.620><c> letter,</c>

00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:53.759
every<00:13:50.500><c> number</c><00:13:50.899><c> in</c><00:13:51.500><c> that</c><00:13:51.879><c> font,</c><00:13:52.639><c> but</c><00:13:52.700><c> you</c><00:13:52.799><c> had</c><00:13:52.940><c> to</c><00:13:53.120><c> trace</c><00:13:53.360><c> them.</c>

00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:56.440
So<00:13:54.399><c> I</c><00:13:54.399><c> mean</c><00:13:54.539><c> there</c><00:13:54.639><c> were</c><00:13:55.019><c> stacks</c><00:13:55.360><c> of</c><00:13:55.700><c> stencils,</c><00:13:56.120><c> because</c><00:13:56.240><c> not</c>

00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:58.820
only<00:13:56.620><c> did</c><00:13:56.740><c> you</c><00:13:56.940><c> have</c><00:13:57.320><c> a</c><00:13:57.639><c> stencil</c><00:13:57.879><c> for</c><00:13:58.080><c> every</c><00:13:58.419><c> font,</c>

00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:01.539
but<00:13:59.480><c> you</c><00:13:59.679><c> also</c><00:13:59.960><c> had</c><00:14:00.100><c> for</c><00:14:00.299><c> every</c><00:14:00.759><c> font</c><00:14:01.039><c> size.</c>

00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:06.299
For<00:14:02.419><c> 12</c><00:14:02.860><c> point,</c><00:14:03.320><c> 14</c><00:14:03.759><c> point,</c><00:14:04.039><c> 18</c><00:14:04.320><c> point,</c><00:14:04.639><c> they</c><00:14:04.820><c> all</c><00:14:04.980><c> had</c><00:14:05.100><c> their</c><00:14:05.379><c> stencils.</c>

00:14:06.659 --> 00:14:08.899
And<00:14:06.940><c> I</c><00:14:07.159><c> don't</c><00:14:07.259><c> know</c><00:14:07.320><c> if</c><00:14:07.379><c> they</c><00:14:07.480><c> had</c><00:14:07.600><c> 12</c><00:14:07.919><c> point,</c><00:14:08.440><c> or</c><00:14:08.620><c> a</c><00:14:08.740><c> stencil</c>

00:14:08.899 --> 00:14:10.320
would<00:14:09.019><c> be</c><00:14:09.100><c> pretty</c><00:14:09.299><c> small.</c>

00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:14.639
But<00:14:11.720><c> that's</c><00:14:12.039><c> the</c><00:14:12.179><c> idea</c><00:14:12.440><c> here.</c><00:14:13.659><c> It's</c><00:14:14.039><c> a</c><00:14:14.279><c> stencil.</c>

00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:18.500
In<00:14:14.840><c> other</c><00:14:14.840><c> words,</c><00:14:16.460><c> God</c><00:14:16.460><c> doesn't</c><00:14:16.799><c> mean,</c><00:14:17.879><c> look,</c><00:14:18.100><c> you</c><00:14:18.220><c> know</c><00:14:18.360><c> the</c>

00:14:18.500 --> 00:14:19.320
direction<00:14:18.899><c> he</c><00:14:19.139><c> went.</c>

00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:25.080
Just<00:14:19.840><c> follow</c><00:14:20.120><c> him.</c><00:14:21.200><c> So</c><00:14:21.460><c> you</c><00:14:22.019><c> can</c><00:14:22.740><c> go</c><00:14:23.419><c> back</c><00:14:23.919><c> and</c><00:14:24.200><c> forth</c><00:14:24.500><c> on</c><00:14:24.860><c> a</c>

00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:25.919
general<00:14:25.500><c> way.</c>

00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:30.440
That's<00:14:26.620><c> not</c><00:14:26.879><c> what</c><00:14:27.019><c> he</c><00:14:27.139><c> means.</c><00:14:28.360><c> He</c><00:14:28.519><c> means</c><00:14:28.759><c> to</c><00:14:29.019><c> follow</c><00:14:29.159><c> him</c><00:14:29.419><c> exactly.</c>

00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:34.659
Put<00:14:30.659><c> your</c><00:14:31.000><c> foot,</c><00:14:31.840><c> as</c><00:14:32.039><c> it</c><00:14:32.279><c> says,</c><00:14:32.980><c> in</c><00:14:33.200><c> his</c><00:14:33.700><c> steps.</c>

00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:39.440
Now<00:14:36.779><c> that's</c><00:14:37.000><c> the</c><00:14:37.120><c> only</c><00:14:37.299><c> way</c><00:14:37.539><c> to</c><00:14:37.720><c> get</c><00:14:37.919><c> through</c><00:14:38.139><c> this</c><00:14:38.440><c> minefield.</c>

00:14:39.980 --> 00:14:43.799
If<00:14:40.500><c> you</c><00:14:40.639><c> want</c><00:14:40.799><c> to</c><00:14:40.899><c> be</c><00:14:41.100><c> macho</c><00:14:41.440><c> enough</c><00:14:41.700><c> to</c><00:14:41.840><c> say,</c><00:14:42.759><c> oh,</c><00:14:42.980><c> you</c><00:14:43.059><c> know,</c>

00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:46.600
we'll<00:14:44.659><c> try</c><00:14:44.879><c> to</c><00:14:45.039><c> put</c><00:14:45.120><c> my</c><00:14:45.320><c> foot</c><00:14:45.559><c> outside</c><00:14:46.019><c> of</c><00:14:46.200><c> that,</c>

00:14:46.899 --> 00:14:50.740
you<00:14:47.100><c> may</c><00:14:47.379><c> guess</c><00:14:47.840><c> you'll</c><00:14:48.919><c> get</c><00:14:49.019><c> into</c><00:14:49.360><c> great</c><00:14:49.659><c> difficulty.</c>

00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:54.899
You<00:14:51.759><c> often</c><00:14:51.980><c> wonder,</c><00:14:52.779><c> how</c><00:14:53.059><c> is</c><00:14:53.299><c> it</c><00:14:53.440><c> that</c><00:14:53.820><c> anybody</c><00:14:54.340><c> could</c><00:14:54.679><c> get</c>

00:14:54.899 --> 00:14:57.460
through<00:14:55.159><c> life</c><00:14:55.379><c> without</c><00:14:55.720><c> sinning?</c>

00:14:57.980 --> 00:15:00.639
And<00:14:58.179><c> you</c><00:14:58.279><c> wonder,</c><00:14:58.700><c> how</c><00:14:58.879><c> did</c><00:14:59.059><c> Jesus</c><00:14:59.460><c> ever</c><00:14:59.840><c> have</c><00:15:00.039><c> the</c><00:15:00.360><c> presence</c>

of<00:15:01.000><c> mind</c><00:15:01.320><c> to</c><00:15:01.620><c> think</c><00:15:01.820><c> about</c><00:15:02.039><c> what</c><00:15:02.179><c> he</c><00:15:02.320><c> should</c><00:15:02.500><c> do?</c>

00:15:03.259 --> 00:15:06.259
Because<00:15:03.379><c> in</c><00:15:03.899><c> many</c><00:15:04.139><c> cases</c><00:15:04.460><c> the</c><00:15:04.620><c> problem</c><00:15:04.899><c> is</c><00:15:05.100><c> we</c><00:15:05.279><c> act</c><00:15:05.460><c> so</c><00:15:05.840><c> fast,</c>

00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:08.139
we<00:15:06.840><c> react</c><00:15:07.299><c> so</c><00:15:07.700><c> fast,</c>

00:15:08.139 --> 00:15:11.340
that<00:15:08.519><c> we</c><00:15:08.659><c> have</c><00:15:08.960><c> sinned</c><00:15:09.500><c> before</c><00:15:09.759><c> we</c><00:15:09.940><c> even</c><00:15:10.220><c> know</c><00:15:10.360><c> it.</c><00:15:10.980><c> And</c><00:15:11.059><c> we're</c>

00:15:11.340 --> 00:15:12.679
sorry<00:15:11.620><c> afterwards.</c>

00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:16.100
It<00:15:14.019><c> may</c><00:15:14.159><c> very</c><00:15:14.399><c> well</c><00:15:14.559><c> be</c><00:15:14.740><c> that</c><00:15:14.899><c> Jesus</c><00:15:15.120><c> wasn't</c><00:15:15.360><c> that</c><00:15:15.580><c> kind</c><00:15:15.740><c> of</c><00:15:15.860><c> a</c><00:15:16.000><c> person.</c>

00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:18.419
He<00:15:16.179><c> wasn't</c><00:15:16.399><c> an</c><00:15:16.600><c> impulsive</c><00:15:17.000><c> person</c><00:15:17.360><c> at</c><00:15:17.559><c> all,</c><00:15:17.779><c> but</c><00:15:17.879><c> just,</c><00:15:18.340><c> you</c>

00:15:18.419 --> 00:15:20.860

00:15:21.100 --> 00:15:23.240
But<00:15:21.100><c> we'll</c><00:15:21.419><c> try</c><00:15:21.500><c> to</c><00:15:21.519><c> think</c><00:15:21.740><c> about</c><00:15:22.100><c> the</c><00:15:22.460><c> answer.</c>

00:15:23.299 --> 00:15:25.940
So<00:15:23.480><c> when</c><00:15:23.639><c> people</c><00:15:23.960><c> actually</c><00:15:24.500><c> tried</c><00:15:24.759><c> to</c><00:15:25.100><c> capture</c><00:15:25.379><c> him</c><00:15:25.580><c> in</c><00:15:25.740><c> his</c>

When<00:15:34.960><c> you</c><00:15:35.139><c> think</c><00:15:35.379><c> of</c><00:15:35.580><c> the</c><00:15:36.259><c> wisdom</c><00:15:36.899><c> and</c><00:15:37.480><c> how</c><00:15:37.740><c> he</c><00:15:38.519><c> countered</c><00:15:39.620><c> a</c>

Well,<00:15:54.259><c> it</c><00:15:54.460><c> rendered</c><00:15:54.519><c> to</c><00:15:54.759><c> Caesar</c><00:15:54.960><c> the</c><00:15:55.179><c> things</c><00:15:55.340><c> that</c><00:15:55.519><c> are</c><00:15:55.679><c> Caesar,</c><00:15:56.100><c> the</c><00:15:56.200><c> God.</c>

00:15:56.659 --> 00:15:58.480
That<00:15:56.840><c> was</c><00:15:57.080><c> a</c><00:15:57.340><c> marvelous</c><00:15:57.960><c> answer.</c>

00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:03.340
And<00:15:59.299><c> when</c><00:15:59.440><c> you</c><00:15:59.580><c> think</c><00:15:59.759><c> about</c><00:15:59.980><c> it,</c><00:16:00.899><c> it</c><00:16:01.100><c> just</c><00:16:01.899><c> disarmed</c><00:16:02.600><c> the</c><00:16:02.940><c> people</c><00:16:03.200><c> who</c>

00:16:03.340 --> 00:16:05.519
were<00:16:03.580><c> trying</c><00:16:03.879><c> to</c><00:16:04.039><c> destroy</c><00:16:04.419><c> him.</c>

00:16:07.179 --> 00:16:09.659
So<00:16:07.360><c> following</c><00:16:07.620><c> Jesus</c><00:16:08.039><c> is</c><00:16:08.360><c> worth</c><00:16:08.679><c> considering</c><00:16:09.179><c> it,</c>

00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:13.419
especially<00:16:10.100><c> when</c><00:16:10.299><c> it</c><00:16:10.580><c> says</c><00:16:10.840><c> that</c><00:16:11.100><c> we</c><00:16:11.220><c> should</c><00:16:11.440><c> do</c><00:16:11.639><c> it</c><00:16:11.860><c> like</c><00:16:12.480><c> following</c><00:16:12.779><c> a</c><00:16:13.120><c> stencil</c>

00:16:13.419 --> 00:16:18.500
and<00:16:13.740><c> actually</c><00:16:14.279><c> trace</c><00:16:14.960><c> every</c><00:16:15.860><c> piece</c><00:16:16.639><c> of</c><00:16:17.000><c> the</c><00:16:17.159><c> letter</c><00:16:17.360><c> exactly.</c>

00:16:18.980 --> 00:16:20.799
That's<00:16:19.200><c> what</c><00:16:19.320><c> he</c><00:16:19.419><c> wants</c><00:16:19.659><c> us</c><00:16:19.860><c> to</c><00:16:20.000><c> do.</c>

00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:25.799
Now<00:16:21.720><c> I've</c><00:16:21.899><c> thought</c><00:16:22.000><c> this</c><00:16:22.299><c> through,</c><00:16:23.080><c> verses</c><00:16:23.379><c> 22</c><00:16:24.039><c> to</c><00:16:24.419><c> 24.</c>

00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:29.419
And<00:16:28.100><c> let's</c><00:16:28.480><c> read</c><00:16:28.679><c> it</c><00:16:28.980><c> first.</c>

00:16:29.820 --> 00:16:32.240
And<00:16:30.059><c> then</c><00:16:30.299><c> just</c><00:16:30.559><c> come</c><00:16:30.720><c> back</c><00:16:30.960><c> and</c><00:16:31.059><c> look</c><00:16:31.240><c> at</c><00:16:31.340><c> each</c><00:16:31.519><c> of</c><00:16:31.639><c> these</c><00:16:31.820><c> steps.</c>

00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:35.460
It<00:16:32.580><c> says,</c><00:16:33.779><c> Who</c><00:16:33.919><c> did</c><00:16:34.120><c> no</c><00:16:34.440><c> sin?</c>

00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:40.580
Neither<00:16:37.159><c> was</c><00:16:37.519><c> guile</c><00:16:38.679><c> found</c><00:16:39.179><c> in</c><00:16:39.299><c> his</c><00:16:39.539><c> mouth,</c>

00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:44.039
who<00:16:41.039><c> when</c><00:16:41.179><c> he</c><00:16:41.320><c> was</c><00:16:41.639><c> reviled,</c><00:16:42.460><c> reviled</c><00:16:42.860><c> not</c><00:16:43.139><c> again.</c>

00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:47.139
When<00:16:44.840><c> he</c><00:16:45.200><c> suffered,</c><00:16:46.039><c> he</c><00:16:46.340><c> threatened</c><00:16:46.600><c> not,</c>

00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:50.879
but<00:16:47.940><c> committed</c><00:16:48.279><c> himself</c><00:16:48.759><c> to</c><00:16:48.940><c> him</c><00:16:49.120><c> that</c><00:16:49.360><c> judgeth</c><00:16:49.799><c> righteously.</c>

00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:54.519
Who<00:16:51.840><c> his</c><00:16:52.059><c> own</c><00:16:52.440><c> suffer</c><00:16:52.659><c> our</c><00:16:53.139><c> sins,</c><00:16:53.379><c> and</c><00:16:53.559><c> is</c><00:16:53.740><c> a</c><00:16:53.860><c> bod</c><00:16:53.960><c> on</c><00:16:54.159><c> the</c><00:16:54.419><c> tree,</c>

00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:02.580
Well,<00:16:57.600><c> I've</c><00:16:57.799><c> often</c><00:16:58.000><c> thought</c><00:16:58.220><c> of</c><00:16:58.379><c> it</c><00:16:59.360><c> as</c><00:16:59.799><c> if,</c><00:17:00.700><c> you</c><00:17:00.860><c> know,</c><00:17:00.899><c> you</c><00:17:01.100><c> think</c><00:17:01.259><c> of</c><00:17:01.419><c> a</c><00:17:01.600><c> child</c>

00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:06.319
who<00:17:03.279><c> really</c><00:17:03.519><c> doesn't</c><00:17:03.779><c> know</c><00:17:04.000><c> how</c><00:17:04.200><c> to</c><00:17:04.380><c> react,</c><00:17:04.740><c> who</c><00:17:04.900><c> has</c><00:17:05.039><c> not</c><00:17:05.339><c> learned</c><00:17:05.880><c> yet</c>

00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:09.019
what<00:17:07.539><c> sin</c><00:17:07.880><c> is</c><00:17:08.160><c> about.</c>

00:17:09.420 --> 00:17:12.140
So<00:17:09.680><c> that</c><00:17:09.799><c> when</c><00:17:09.960><c> they're</c><00:17:10.200><c> told</c><00:17:10.460><c> to</c><00:17:10.660><c> do</c><00:17:10.880><c> something,</c><00:17:11.660><c> they</c><00:17:11.779><c> very</c>

00:17:12.140 --> 00:17:14.319
well<00:17:12.380><c> just</c><00:17:12.859><c> not</c><00:17:13.180><c> do</c><00:17:13.420><c> it.</c>

00:17:14.819 --> 00:17:17.799
Or<00:17:15.259><c> when</c><00:17:15.539><c> they're</c><00:17:15.779><c> told</c><00:17:15.960><c> to</c><00:17:16.140><c> do</c><00:17:16.339><c> something,</c><00:17:16.960><c> we'll</c><00:17:17.059><c> do</c><00:17:17.180><c> the</c><00:17:17.460><c> opposite,</c>

00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:21.359

of<00:17:21.599><c> life.</c>

00:17:23.819 --> 00:17:25.019
Isn't<00:17:23.960><c> that</c><00:17:24.180><c> true?</c>

00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:28.039
If<00:17:25.500><c> you</c><00:17:25.619><c> can't</c><00:17:25.859><c> remember,</c><00:17:26.220><c> you</c><00:17:26.319><c> can</c><00:17:26.440><c> always</c><00:17:26.579><c> think</c><00:17:26.740><c> of</c><00:17:26.859><c> a</c><00:17:26.900><c> little</c><00:17:27.359><c> brother</c><00:17:27.619><c> or</c><00:17:27.680><c> sister</c>

00:17:32.099 --> 00:17:32.619
the<00:17:32.359><c> opposite.</c>

00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:36.279
Well,<00:17:33.220><c> it's</c><00:17:33.380><c> not</c><00:17:33.680><c> entirely</c><00:17:33.960><c> unlike</c><00:17:34.420><c> our</c><00:17:34.640><c> natures</c><00:17:34.980><c> to</c><00:17:35.200><c> do</c><00:17:35.339><c> that.</c>

00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:37.819
I<00:17:36.779><c> don't</c><00:17:36.920><c> know</c><00:17:37.019><c> why</c><00:17:37.220><c> we</c><00:17:37.420><c> do</c><00:17:37.579><c> that.</c>

00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:40.740

00:17:40.740 --> 00:17:41.059
you<00:17:41.019><c> know,</c>

00:17:41.059 --> 00:17:43.160
it's<00:17:41.279><c> for</c><00:17:41.420><c> a</c><00:17:41.680><c> trick</c><00:17:41.839><c> to</c><00:17:42.039><c> see</c><00:17:42.160><c> if</c><00:17:42.299><c> mom</c><00:17:42.440><c> can</c><00:17:42.740><c> catch</c><00:17:42.960><c> us</c>

00:17:44.660 --> 00:17:49.599
But<00:17:44.839><c> it's</c><00:17:46.240><c> not</c><00:17:46.460><c> unusual</c><00:17:47.380><c> for</c><00:17:47.980><c> us,</c><00:17:48.680><c> given</c><00:17:48.839><c> a</c><00:17:49.140><c> command</c><00:17:49.420><c> when</c>

00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:50.240
we're<00:17:49.880><c> young,</c>

00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:52.380
to<00:17:50.799><c> do</c><00:17:50.940><c> the</c><00:17:51.099><c> very</c><00:17:51.359><c> opposite.</c>

00:17:53.940 --> 00:17:57.619
If<00:17:54.440><c> we</c><00:17:54.940><c> do</c><00:17:55.380><c> an</c><00:17:55.839><c> error,</c><00:17:55.980><c> we</c><00:17:56.299><c> commit</c><00:17:56.539><c> something</c><00:17:56.920><c> that</c><00:17:57.099><c> was</c><00:17:57.359><c> wrong,</c>

00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:01.519
it's<00:17:58.299><c> quite</c><00:17:58.619><c> usual</c><00:17:59.180><c> that</c><00:17:59.559><c> we'll</c><00:18:00.079><c> try</c><00:18:00.299><c> to</c><00:18:00.480><c> lie</c><00:18:00.660><c> our</c><00:18:00.839><c> way</c><00:18:00.940><c> out</c><00:18:01.059><c> of</c><00:18:01.119><c> it.</c>

00:18:04.660 --> 00:18:06.960
See,<00:18:05.140><c> well,</c><00:18:05.440><c> it</c><00:18:05.599><c> wasn't</c><00:18:05.859><c> really</c><00:18:06.079><c> me.</c>

00:18:09.579 --> 00:18:11.880
We<00:18:09.759><c> didn't</c><00:18:10.000><c> do</c><00:18:10.220><c> it</c><00:18:10.359><c> when</c><00:18:10.500><c> we</c><00:18:10.599><c> know</c><00:18:10.720><c> we</c><00:18:10.940><c> did.</c>

You<00:19:02.740><c> can't</c><00:19:03.180><c> cover</c><00:19:03.539><c> up</c><00:19:03.880><c> things</c><00:19:04.400><c> and</c><00:19:05.279><c> continually</c><00:19:05.799><c> to</c><00:19:06.400><c> cover</c><00:19:06.700><c> up</c>

and<00:20:30.880><c> we'll</c><00:20:31.059><c> be</c><00:20:31.539><c> back</c><00:20:31.759><c> to</c><00:20:31.940><c> visit</c><00:20:32.099><c> you.</c>

00:20:32.940 --> 00:20:35.319
Which<00:20:33.099><c> I</c><00:20:33.240><c> can</c><00:20:33.440><c> remember</c><00:20:33.759><c> in</c><00:20:34.259><c> my</c><00:20:34.519><c> childhood</c><00:20:34.859><c> experiences,</c>

00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:37.220
going<00:20:35.579><c> through</c><00:20:35.859><c> the</c><00:20:36.039><c> guys</c><00:20:36.180><c> in</c><00:20:36.339><c> the</c><00:20:36.480><c> schoolyard,</c><00:20:36.960><c> we</c><00:20:37.019><c> used</c><00:20:37.160><c> to</c>

00:20:37.220 --> 00:20:38.339
have<00:20:37.299><c> lots</c><00:20:37.519><c> of</c><00:20:37.680><c> these</c><00:20:37.880><c> things.</c>

00:20:38.740 --> 00:20:40.740
Where<00:20:38.900><c> you</c><00:20:38.920><c> had</c><00:20:39.059><c> to</c><00:20:39.240><c> settle</c><00:20:39.339><c> a</c><00:20:39.519><c> few</c><00:20:39.579><c> scores</c><00:20:39.839><c> and</c><00:20:40.339><c> you</c><00:20:40.519><c> couldn't</c>

00:20:40.740 --> 00:20:41.319
do<00:20:40.880><c> it</c><00:20:41.000><c> yourself,</c>

00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:43.480
you<00:20:41.480><c> got</c><00:20:41.619><c> a</c><00:20:41.759><c> few</c><00:20:41.799><c> guys</c><00:20:41.920><c> with</c><00:20:42.119><c> you.</c>

00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:45.680
And<00:20:43.779><c> until,</c><00:20:44.240><c> you</c><00:20:44.500><c> know,</c><00:20:44.599><c> it</c><00:20:44.700><c> got</c><00:20:44.819><c> to</c><00:20:45.000><c> the</c><00:20:45.140><c> point</c><00:20:45.259><c> where</c><00:20:45.420><c> it</c><00:20:45.539><c> got</c>

00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:46.799
a<00:20:45.779><c> bit</c><00:20:45.880><c> ridiculous.</c>

00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:50.220
But<00:20:47.539><c> nevertheless,</c><00:20:48.019><c> that's</c><00:20:48.460><c> typical</c><00:20:49.019><c> human</c><00:20:49.279><c> behavior.</c>

00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:53.240
Now<00:20:51.059><c> the</c><00:20:51.200><c> problem</c><00:20:51.480><c> is,</c><00:20:51.819><c> young</c><00:20:51.940><c> people,</c><00:20:52.779><c> are</c><00:20:52.880><c> we</c><00:20:52.980><c> talking</c>

00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:54.799
about<00:20:53.559><c> kids?</c>

00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:00.480
And<00:20:57.319><c> sometimes,</c><00:20:58.900><c> later</c><00:20:58.980><c> on</c><00:20:59.200><c> in</c><00:20:59.319><c> life,</c><00:20:59.599><c> you</c><00:20:59.640><c> see</c><00:20:59.859><c> adults</c><00:21:00.220><c> doing</c>

00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:01.960
the<00:21:00.720><c> same</c><00:21:00.940><c> thing.</c>

00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:05.859
And<00:21:02.819><c> you</c><00:21:03.259><c> sort</c><00:21:03.420><c> of</c><00:21:03.599><c> wonder,</c><00:21:03.980><c> why</c><00:21:04.299><c> didn't</c><00:21:04.619><c> these</c><00:21:05.000><c> people</c><00:21:05.299><c> ever</c>

00:21:05.859 --> 00:21:06.480
grow<00:21:06.119><c> up?</c>

00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:09.259
Which<00:21:06.880><c> is</c><00:21:07.140><c> generally</c><00:21:07.380><c> the</c><00:21:07.940><c> expression</c><00:21:08.359><c> that</c><00:21:08.579><c> mom</c><00:21:08.700><c> and</c><00:21:08.859><c> dad</c><00:21:09.019><c> use.</c>

00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:11.000
You<00:21:09.460><c> know,</c><00:21:09.519><c> you're</c><00:21:09.579><c> supposed</c><00:21:09.759><c> to</c><00:21:09.960><c> grow</c><00:21:10.160><c> up</c><00:21:10.380><c> at</c><00:21:10.559><c> some</c><00:21:10.759><c> stage.</c>

00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:13.420
I<00:21:11.119><c> guess</c><00:21:11.259><c> what</c><00:21:11.420><c> that</c><00:21:11.640><c> means</c><00:21:11.839><c> is,</c><00:21:12.380><c> you</c><00:21:12.460><c> don't</c><00:21:12.640><c> do</c><00:21:12.819><c> that</c><00:21:13.019><c> anymore</c>

00:21:13.420 --> 00:21:15.240
when<00:21:13.900><c> you</c><00:21:14.059><c> grow</c><00:21:14.259><c> up.</c>

00:21:15.500 --> 00:21:19.960
But<00:21:15.920><c> some</c><00:21:16.220><c> people,</c><00:21:17.200><c> old</c><00:21:17.519><c> people,</c><00:21:18.799><c> you</c><00:21:18.900><c> know,</c><00:21:19.039><c> grandparents,</c>

00:21:20.180 --> 00:21:22.079
have<00:21:20.299><c> never</c><00:21:20.599><c> grown</c><00:21:20.859><c> up</c><00:21:21.319><c> in</c><00:21:21.500><c> these</c><00:21:21.720><c> ways.</c>

00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:26.460
So<00:21:22.839><c> you</c><00:21:23.039><c> see,</c><00:21:23.460><c> when</c><00:21:23.660><c> they're</c><00:21:24.059><c> reviled,</c><00:21:25.680><c> you</c><00:21:25.799><c> see</c><00:21:26.019><c> a</c><00:21:26.279><c> temper.</c>

00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:29.779
You<00:21:26.680><c> see</c><00:21:27.000><c> a</c><00:21:27.460><c> side</c><00:21:27.619><c> of</c><00:21:27.759><c> the</c><00:21:27.900><c> person</c><00:21:28.140><c> you</c><00:21:28.279><c> wouldn't</c><00:21:28.640><c> believe.</c>

00:21:29.859 --> 00:21:32.059
You<00:21:29.980><c> didn't</c><00:21:30.160><c> think</c><00:21:30.440><c> that</c><00:21:30.619><c> old</c><00:21:31.079><c> brother</c><00:21:31.420><c> would</c><00:21:31.619><c> ever</c><00:21:31.859><c> say</c>

00:21:32.059 --> 00:21:32.700
those<00:21:32.279><c> words.</c>

00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:35.480
But,<00:21:33.460><c> yeah,</c><00:21:33.460><c> you</c><00:21:33.619><c> just</c><00:21:34.039><c> push</c><00:21:34.259><c> the</c><00:21:34.380><c> right</c><00:21:34.579><c> button.</c>

00:21:35.599 --> 00:21:37.420
And<00:21:35.859><c> you</c><00:21:36.099><c> get</c><00:21:36.259><c> that</c><00:21:36.500><c> reaction.</c>

00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:41.519
Because<00:21:38.279><c> he</c><00:21:38.619><c> never</c><00:21:38.859><c> was</c><00:21:39.160><c> really</c><00:21:39.519><c> able</c><00:21:39.779><c> to</c><00:21:40.740><c> discipline</c><00:21:41.079><c> himself,</c>

00:21:41.660 --> 00:21:43.240
or<00:21:41.819><c> never</c><00:21:42.000><c> really</c><00:21:42.359><c> able</c><00:21:42.539><c> to</c><00:21:42.819><c> stop</c><00:21:43.039><c> that.</c>

00:21:43.259 --> 00:21:45.619
Like,<00:21:43.460><c> I</c><00:21:43.660><c> believe</c><00:21:43.920><c> that's</c><00:21:44.240><c> in</c><00:21:44.420><c> every</c><00:21:44.640><c> one</c><00:21:44.759><c> of</c><00:21:44.880><c> us.</c>

00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:47.440
None<00:21:46.000><c> of</c><00:21:46.140><c> us</c><00:21:46.319><c> are</c><00:21:46.559><c> exempt.</c>

00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:49.660
We<00:21:47.799><c> all</c><00:21:48.059><c> have</c><00:21:48.259><c> that.</c><00:21:48.480><c> We</c><00:21:48.579><c> all</c><00:21:48.740><c> have</c><00:21:48.920><c> a</c><00:21:49.059><c> button</c><00:21:49.259><c> somewhere.</c>

00:21:49.660 --> 00:21:54.880
If<00:21:49.779><c> someone</c><00:21:50.059><c> pushes</c><00:21:50.420><c> it,</c><00:21:51.920><c> the</c><00:21:52.059><c> color</c><00:21:52.279><c> changes</c><00:21:52.940><c> and</c><00:21:53.640><c> everything</c><00:21:54.400><c> changes</c>

00:21:54.880 --> 00:21:55.940
right<00:21:55.099><c> away.</c>

00:21:56.200 --> 00:21:58.319
Well,<00:21:56.359><c> people</c><00:21:56.559><c> know</c><00:21:56.859><c> sometimes</c><00:21:57.279><c> where</c><00:21:57.440><c> that</c><00:21:57.740><c> button</c><00:21:57.880><c> is</c><00:21:58.160><c> and</c>

00:21:58.319 --> 00:21:59.779
just<00:21:58.519><c> love</c><00:21:58.700><c> to</c><00:21:58.920><c> push</c><00:21:59.059><c> it.</c>

00:21:59.960 --> 00:22:01.900
And<00:22:00.180><c> that's</c><00:22:00.559><c> not</c><00:22:00.740><c> part</c><00:22:00.900><c> of</c><00:22:01.039><c> our</c><00:22:01.220><c> behavior,</c><00:22:01.380><c> or</c><00:22:01.500><c> shouldn't</c><00:22:01.700><c> be</c>

00:22:01.900 --> 00:22:03.559
part<00:22:02.059><c> of</c><00:22:02.180><c> our</c><00:22:02.380><c> behavior</c><00:22:02.700><c> either.</c>

00:22:03.859 --> 00:22:09.339
Well,<00:22:04.039><c> I</c><00:22:04.140><c> just</c><00:22:04.440><c> think</c><00:22:05.099><c> that</c><00:22:06.380><c> when</c><00:22:06.519><c> we</c><00:22:06.700><c> get</c><00:22:06.920><c> serious</c><00:22:07.460><c> about</c><00:22:08.180><c> disciplining</c><00:22:08.740><c> our</c><00:22:09.039><c> life</c>

00:22:09.339 --> 00:22:11.160
and<00:22:09.599><c> trying</c><00:22:09.819><c> to</c><00:22:10.000><c> follow</c><00:22:10.220><c> the</c><00:22:10.359><c> Jesus</c><00:22:10.700><c> Christ,</c>

00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:14.480
that<00:22:11.440><c> we've</c><00:22:11.720><c> got</c><00:22:11.819><c> to</c><00:22:11.880><c> look</c><00:22:12.259><c> far</c><00:22:12.480><c> more</c><00:22:12.900><c> closely</c><00:22:13.380><c> at</c><00:22:13.859><c> the</c><00:22:14.200><c> areas</c>

00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:16.119
where<00:22:14.859><c> we</c><00:22:15.259><c> sin.</c>

00:22:16.579 --> 00:22:21.640
Because<00:22:17.019><c> that</c><00:22:17.380><c> is</c><00:22:17.740><c> the</c><00:22:17.920><c> very</c><00:22:18.240><c> reason,</c><00:22:18.859><c> or</c><00:22:19.079><c> the</c><00:22:19.200><c> very</c><00:22:19.440><c> area,</c><00:22:20.000><c> where</c><00:22:20.599><c> God</c><00:22:20.960><c> gave</c><00:22:21.259><c> us</c>

00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:23.019
an<00:22:21.920><c> example.</c>

00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:25.180
The<00:22:23.460><c> follow</c><00:22:23.859><c> steps.</c>

00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:30.140
I<00:22:26.700><c> don't</c><00:22:26.940><c> think</c><00:22:27.079><c> he</c><00:22:27.200><c> would</c><00:22:27.380><c> have</c><00:22:27.500><c> ever</c><00:22:27.779><c> said</c><00:22:28.059><c> the</c><00:22:28.420><c> follow</c><00:22:28.720><c> steps,</c><00:22:29.279><c> except</c><00:22:29.640><c> he</c><00:22:29.920><c> meant,</c>

00:22:30.220 --> 00:22:32.819
like<00:22:30.420><c> this</c><00:22:30.619><c> is</c><00:22:30.839><c> the</c><00:22:31.079><c> fog</c><00:22:31.339><c> we've</c><00:22:31.700><c> been</c><00:22:31.779><c> talking</c><00:22:32.079><c> about,</c>

00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:34.880
where<00:22:32.880><c> if</c><00:22:33.180><c> you</c><00:22:33.359><c> want</c><00:22:33.500><c> to</c><00:22:34.000><c> know</c><00:22:34.099><c> how</c><00:22:34.299><c> to</c><00:22:34.400><c> go</c><00:22:34.559><c> through</c><00:22:34.700><c> this,</c>

00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:37.000

meant<00:24:54.720><c> he</c><00:24:55.140><c> didn't</c><00:24:55.460><c> have</c><00:24:55.759><c> to.</c>

00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:01.720
So<00:24:57.359><c> the</c><00:24:57.759><c> whole</c><00:24:58.140><c> idea</c><00:24:58.599><c> and</c><00:24:58.900><c> philosophy</c><00:24:59.599><c> of</c><00:24:59.960><c> how</c><00:25:00.240><c> Jesus</c><00:25:00.680><c> suffered</c>

00:25:02.059 --> 00:25:05.359
was<00:25:02.539><c> based</c><00:25:02.779><c> on</c><00:25:02.960><c> his</c><00:25:03.220><c> faith</c><00:25:03.420><c> in</c><00:25:03.660><c> God,</c><00:25:04.480><c> that</c><00:25:04.599><c> he</c><00:25:04.740><c> did</c><00:25:04.980><c> not</c><00:25:05.160><c> need</c>

00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:06.980
to<00:25:05.539><c> react</c><00:25:05.799><c> this</c><00:25:06.079><c> way.</c>

00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:08.660
That's<00:25:07.779><c> faith.</c>

00:25:09.759 --> 00:25:12.140
If<00:25:09.900><c> somebody</c><00:25:10.160><c> comes</c><00:25:10.380><c> up</c><00:25:10.619><c> and</c><00:25:10.779><c> tears</c><00:25:10.980><c> a</c><00:25:11.180><c> strip</c><00:25:11.339><c> off</c><00:25:11.579><c> you,</c>

00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:14.720
maybe<00:25:12.819><c> for</c><00:25:13.180><c> something</c><00:25:13.440><c> you</c><00:25:13.640><c> did</c><00:25:13.759><c> wrong.</c>

00:25:15.180 --> 00:25:18.480
There<00:25:15.299><c> is</c><00:25:15.420><c> no</c><00:25:15.680><c> need</c><00:25:15.960><c> for</c><00:25:16.259><c> you,</c><00:25:16.480><c> really,</c><00:25:16.819><c> to</c><00:25:17.039><c> retaliate.</c>

00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:21.579
Some<00:25:19.940><c> have</c><00:25:20.079><c> got</c><00:25:20.240><c> a</c><00:25:20.240><c> lot</c><00:25:20.519><c> shorter</c><00:25:20.859><c> fuses</c><00:25:21.180><c> than</c><00:25:21.380><c> others.</c>

00:25:21.660 --> 00:25:23.259
Like<00:25:21.839><c> some</c><00:25:21.980><c> people</c><00:25:22.200><c> are</c><00:25:22.440><c> long</c><00:25:22.819><c>-fused,</c>

00:25:23.319 --> 00:25:25.279
and<00:25:23.480><c> they've</c><00:25:23.680><c> just</c><00:25:23.779><c> got</c><00:25:23.859><c> to</c><00:25:24.079><c> think</c><00:25:24.240><c> a</c><00:25:24.359><c> bit</c><00:25:24.460><c> about</c><00:25:24.660><c> what</c><00:25:24.839><c> to</c><00:25:25.039><c> say.</c>

00:25:25.279 --> 00:25:27.059
They<00:25:25.779><c> take</c><00:25:26.079><c> the</c><00:25:26.279><c> time</c><00:25:26.420><c> to</c><00:25:26.660><c> say</c><00:25:26.779><c> it.</c>

00:25:27.299 --> 00:25:30.619
It's<00:25:27.579><c> a</c><00:25:27.799><c> blessing</c><00:25:28.059><c> because</c><00:25:28.420><c> they're</c><00:25:28.660><c> not</c><00:25:28.859><c> so</c><00:25:29.180><c> fluent</c><00:25:29.400><c> in</c><00:25:29.680><c> speech.</c>

00:25:30.980 --> 00:25:33.299
They<00:25:31.279><c> just</c><00:25:31.599><c> can't</c><00:25:31.740><c> come</c><00:25:31.940><c> up</c><00:25:32.059><c> with</c><00:25:32.240><c> those</c><00:25:32.519><c> abusive</c><00:25:32.980><c> words</c>

right<00:25:33.519><c> away,</c>

00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:36.460
so<00:25:33.900><c> they</c><00:25:34.000><c> have</c><00:25:34.140><c> to</c><00:25:34.259><c> think</c><00:25:34.440><c> about</c><00:25:34.599><c> it,</c><00:25:34.720><c> and</c><00:25:34.779><c> by</c><00:25:34.920><c> the</c><00:25:35.059><c> time</c><00:25:35.220><c> they've</c><00:25:35.480><c> thought</c><00:25:35.640><c> about</c><00:25:35.799><c> it,</c>

00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:38.400
they<00:25:37.200><c> don't</c><00:25:37.380><c> say</c><00:25:37.599><c> them.</c>

00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:41.640
Other<00:25:39.279><c> people,</c><00:25:40.099><c> it's</c><00:25:40.420><c> just</c><00:25:40.680><c> automatic.</c>

00:25:47.420 --> 00:25:49.039
Well,<00:25:47.599><c> you</c><00:25:47.720><c> know</c><00:25:47.859><c> what</c><00:25:48.019><c> you</c><00:25:48.240><c> are.</c>

00:25:49.220 --> 00:25:51.720
You<00:25:49.319><c> know</c><00:25:49.500><c> whether</c><00:25:49.619><c> you've</c><00:25:49.740><c> got</c><00:25:49.819><c> a</c><00:25:50.000><c> short</c><00:25:50.220><c> fuse</c><00:25:50.619><c> or</c><00:25:51.220><c> whether</c><00:25:51.359><c> you've</c><00:25:51.539><c> got</c><00:25:51.599><c> a</c>

00:25:52.900 --> 00:25:53.740
Right?

00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:56.779
You<00:25:55.160><c> know</c><00:25:55.279><c> whether</c><00:25:55.440><c> Mom</c><00:25:55.660><c> and</c><00:25:55.819><c> Dad</c><00:25:55.960><c> have.</c>

You<00:26:00.099><c> know</c><00:26:00.279><c> whether</c><00:26:00.599><c> you're</c><00:26:01.819><c> a</c><00:26:02.019><c> person</c><00:26:02.299><c> that</c><00:26:03.000><c> can</c><00:26:03.319><c> be</c><00:26:03.640><c> aroused</c>

00:26:04.119 --> 00:26:04.960
to<00:26:04.460><c> react</c>

00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:08.220
in<00:26:05.839><c> the</c><00:26:06.019><c> ways</c><00:26:06.259><c> which</c><00:26:06.539><c> we</c><00:26:06.859><c> deal</c><00:26:07.000><c> with</c><00:26:07.240><c> here,</c>

00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:12.480
And<00:26:11.339><c> I</c><00:26:11.420><c> really</c><00:26:11.640><c> think</c><00:26:11.759><c> we</c><00:26:11.940><c> divide</c><00:26:12.220><c> in</c><00:26:12.380><c> that.</c>

00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:15.740
Like<00:26:12.720><c> I</c><00:26:12.740><c> don't</c><00:26:12.980><c> think</c><00:26:13.119><c> it's</c><00:26:13.380><c> something</c><00:26:13.539><c> that</c><00:26:13.940><c> it's</c><00:26:14.480><c> necessarily,</c>

00:26:16.339 --> 00:26:19.579
we<00:26:16.819><c> all</c><00:26:17.140><c> have</c><00:26:17.319><c> this</c><00:26:17.619><c> to</c><00:26:18.180><c> the</c><00:26:18.380><c> same</c><00:26:18.579><c> degree.</c>

00:26:19.819 --> 00:26:24.599
Some<00:26:20.180><c> people</c><00:26:20.500><c> are</c><00:26:20.759><c> not</c><00:26:20.960><c> affected</c><00:26:21.700><c> by</c><00:26:22.539><c> reviling,</c><00:26:23.819><c> by</c><00:26:24.160><c> threatening,</c>

00:26:25.059 --> 00:26:26.160

00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:27.440
Some<00:26:26.599><c> people</c><00:26:26.819><c> are</c><00:26:26.960><c> very</c><00:26:27.259><c> sensitive.</c>

00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:28.660
Maybe<00:26:27.680><c> they</c><00:26:27.759><c> get</c><00:26:27.920><c> picked</c><00:26:28.099><c> on</c><00:26:28.240><c> as</c><00:26:28.420><c> a</c><00:26:28.519><c> kid.</c>

00:26:28.920 --> 00:26:29.880
You<00:26:28.920><c> know,</c><00:26:29.079><c> your</c><00:26:29.140><c> brothers</c><00:26:29.259><c> and</c><00:26:29.440><c> sisters</c><00:26:29.640><c> are</c><00:26:29.799><c> bigger,</c>

00:26:31.859 --> 00:26:34.539

in<00:26:34.759><c> life</c>

00:26:34.940 --> 00:26:36.579

00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:39.900
Here<00:26:36.759><c> comes</c><00:26:36.980><c> another</c><00:26:37.220><c> beating,</c><00:26:37.680><c> you</c><00:26:37.740><c> know,</c><00:26:37.900><c> so</c><00:26:38.039><c> you</c><00:26:38.200><c> just</c><00:26:38.339><c> react</c><00:26:38.740><c> to</c><00:26:38.900><c> it.</c>

00:26:40.740 --> 00:26:44.440
And<00:26:41.099><c> I</c><00:26:41.460><c> hope</c><00:26:42.460><c> not</c><00:26:43.160><c> too</c><00:26:43.319><c> many</c><00:26:43.460><c> of</c><00:26:43.539><c> you</c><00:26:43.619><c> people</c><00:26:43.859><c> have</c><00:26:43.920><c> gone</c><00:26:44.099><c> through</c><00:26:44.319><c> a</c>

but<00:26:45.259><c> you</c><00:26:45.400><c> never</c><00:26:45.640><c> know.</c>

00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:49.000
That's<00:26:46.180><c> today's</c><00:26:46.900><c> world</c><00:26:47.160><c> where</c><00:26:47.339><c> people</c><00:26:47.579><c> have</c><00:26:47.740><c> done</c><00:26:47.920><c> that.</c>

00:26:49.400 --> 00:26:52.619
When<00:26:49.539><c> we</c><00:26:49.680><c> get</c><00:26:49.920><c> serious</c><00:26:50.319><c> about</c><00:26:50.599><c> these</c><00:26:50.920><c> things,</c><00:26:51.480><c> young</c><00:26:51.619><c> people,</c>

00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:54.579

00:26:55.680 --> 00:26:58.900
And<00:26:56.200><c> it's</c><00:26:56.720><c> not</c><00:26:56.920><c> just</c><00:26:57.420><c> 1</c><00:26:57.720><c> Peter</c><00:26:57.980><c> chapter</c><00:26:58.460><c> 2.</c>

00:26:59.039 --> 00:27:01.559
It's<00:26:59.339><c> a</c><00:26:59.400><c> matter</c><00:26:59.559><c> of</c><00:26:59.559><c> going</c><00:26:59.819><c> back</c><00:27:00.119><c> to</c><00:27:00.259><c> the</c><00:27:00.420><c> Gospel</c><00:27:00.720><c> records</c><00:27:01.140><c> and</c><00:27:01.400><c> saying,</c>

00:31:27.619 --> 00:31:32.700
And<00:31:27.920><c> as</c><00:31:28.099><c> soon</c><00:31:28.279><c> as</c><00:31:29.079><c> this</c><00:31:29.759><c> man,</c><00:31:30.279><c> this</c><00:31:30.579><c> old</c><00:31:31.000><c> man,</c><00:31:31.240><c> he</c><00:31:31.319><c> was</c><00:31:31.539><c> 130</c><00:31:32.200><c> years</c><00:31:32.559><c> old</c>

00:31:32.700 --> 00:31:33.279
when<00:31:32.839><c> he</c><00:31:32.980><c> died,</c>

00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:36.480
Jehoiada<00:31:33.619><c> must</c><00:31:34.220><c> have</c><00:31:34.500><c> been</c><00:31:34.599><c> hoping</c><00:31:34.799><c> he'd</c><00:31:35.039><c> die</c><00:31:35.259><c> long</c><00:31:35.460><c> before</c><00:31:35.839><c> that.</c>

00:31:36.900 --> 00:31:38.740
But<00:31:37.000><c> anyway,</c><00:31:37.140><c> he</c><00:31:37.259><c> finally</c><00:31:37.579><c> died.</c>

00:31:38.759 --> 00:31:42.980
And<00:31:39.140><c> then</c><00:31:39.440><c> all</c><00:31:39.819><c> these</c><00:31:40.019><c> guys</c><00:31:40.180><c> got</c><00:31:40.400><c> together</c><00:31:40.759><c> and</c><00:31:41.640><c> let's</c><00:31:42.759><c> go</c>

00:31:44.980 --> 00:31:50.319
So<00:31:45.500><c> when</c><00:31:45.680><c> they</c><00:31:45.859><c> went</c><00:31:46.059><c> another</c><00:31:46.359><c> way,</c><00:31:47.880><c> obviously</c><00:31:48.259><c> God,</c><00:31:48.819><c> he's</c><00:31:49.059><c> in</c><00:31:49.279><c> control.</c>

00:31:54.640 --> 00:31:58.579
so<00:31:54.779><c> God</c><00:31:54.960><c> was</c><00:31:55.220><c> directly</c><00:31:55.619><c> involved</c><00:31:55.960><c> in</c><00:31:56.099><c> this,</c><00:31:56.420><c> came</c><00:31:56.599><c> upon</c><00:31:57.000><c> Zechariah.</c>

00:31:58.880 --> 00:32:02.200
He<00:31:59.400><c> sent</c><00:31:59.640><c> his</c><00:31:59.900><c> son</c><00:32:00.319><c> to</c><00:32:00.759><c> talk</c><00:32:00.960><c> to</c><00:32:01.279><c> Joash.</c>

00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:04.519
They<00:32:02.559><c> conspired</c><00:32:03.099><c> against</c><00:32:03.460><c> him,</c><00:32:04.140><c> stoned</c><00:32:04.400><c> him.</c>

00:32:04.660 --> 00:32:08.500
And<00:32:04.740><c> the</c><00:32:04.859><c> king</c><00:32:05.099><c> goes</c><00:32:05.480><c> so</c><00:32:06.000><c> far</c><00:32:06.180><c> as</c><00:32:06.420><c> to</c><00:32:06.579><c> say,</c><00:32:07.619><c> Yahweh,</c><00:32:08.000><c> look</c><00:32:08.240><c> upon</c>

00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:55.940
These<00:32:51.460><c> things</c><00:32:51.700><c> were</c><00:32:52.039><c> given</c><00:32:52.299><c> to</c><00:32:52.619><c> us</c><00:32:53.259><c> to</c><00:32:53.640><c> illustrate</c><00:32:54.180><c> how</c><00:32:54.619><c> it</c><00:32:54.960><c> ends.</c>

00:32:57.079 --> 00:33:03.660
It<00:32:57.559><c> probably</c><00:32:58.039><c> is</c><00:32:58.460><c> an</c><00:32:58.619><c> indication</c><00:32:59.599><c> that</c><00:33:00.880><c> Joash</c><00:33:01.380><c> did</c><00:33:01.740><c> not</c><00:33:02.740><c> relate</c><00:33:03.259><c> very</c>

00:33:03.660 --> 00:33:06.019
well<00:33:03.940><c> to</c><00:33:04.500><c> the</c><00:33:04.880><c> people</c><00:33:05.119><c> who</c><00:33:05.279><c> were</c><00:33:05.519><c> spiritual.</c>

00:33:06.019 --> 00:33:11.319
This<00:33:06.460><c> old</c><00:33:06.839><c> man,</c><00:33:07.359><c> although</c><00:33:07.579><c> you</c><00:33:09.119><c> just</c><00:33:10.299><c> couldn't</c><00:33:10.559><c> cross</c><00:33:10.920><c> him</c><00:33:11.079><c> while</c><00:33:11.259><c> he</c>

00:33:11.319 --> 00:33:12.420
was<00:33:11.519><c> still</c><00:33:11.799><c> alive,</c>

00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:15.920
as<00:33:12.839><c> soon</c><00:33:13.019><c> as</c><00:33:13.119><c> he</c><00:33:13.299><c> was</c><00:33:13.539><c> removed,</c><00:33:14.880><c> there</c><00:33:15.119><c> was</c><00:33:15.319><c> no</c><00:33:15.460><c> one</c><00:33:15.559><c> to</c><00:33:15.759><c> take</c>

00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:17.019
his<00:33:16.119><c> place.</c>

00:33:17.160 --> 00:33:19.019
He<00:33:17.259><c> didn't</c><00:33:17.519><c> relate</c><00:33:17.819><c> to</c><00:33:18.019><c> his</c><00:33:18.240><c> son.</c>

00:33:19.079 --> 00:33:22.039
He<00:33:19.220><c> didn't</c><00:33:19.480><c> relate</c><00:33:19.819><c> to</c><00:33:20.019><c> the</c><00:33:20.160><c> people</c><00:33:20.339><c> who</c><00:33:20.480><c> were</c><00:33:20.640><c> worshiping</c><00:33:21.059><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:24.680
And<00:33:22.579><c> with</c><00:33:22.680><c> the</c><00:33:22.859><c> people</c><00:33:23.099><c> he</c><00:33:23.259><c> had</c><00:33:23.559><c> surrounded</c><00:33:23.779><c> himself</c><00:33:24.299><c> with,</c>

00:33:24.900 --> 00:33:27.559
it<00:33:25.000><c> wasn't</c><00:33:25.299><c> long</c><00:33:25.599><c> until</c><00:33:25.859><c> he</c><00:33:26.000><c> was</c><00:33:26.680><c> off.</c>

00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:29.740
And<00:33:28.660><c> then</c><00:33:28.980><c> what?</c>

00:33:30.339 --> 00:33:33.779
So<00:33:30.680><c> there</c><00:33:30.960><c> are</c><00:33:31.299><c> examples</c><00:33:31.759><c> that</c><00:33:32.160><c> really,</c><00:33:32.559><c> really</c><00:33:33.019><c> challenge</c><00:33:33.339><c> us.</c>

00:33:33.779 --> 00:33:37.019
Who<00:33:34.279><c> are</c><00:33:34.559><c> we</c><00:33:34.819><c> following?</c><00:33:35.799><c> Why</c><00:33:36.099><c> are</c><00:33:36.299><c> we</c><00:33:36.539><c> following</c><00:33:36.740><c> them?</c>

00:33:37.299 --> 00:33:39.880
What<00:33:37.500><c> happens</c><00:33:37.880><c> when</c><00:33:38.019><c> we</c><00:33:38.160><c> don't</c><00:33:38.319><c> have</c><00:33:38.539><c> anyone</c><00:33:38.740><c> to</c><00:33:39.000><c> follow?</c>

00:33:41.099 --> 00:33:44.980
So<00:33:41.440><c> often,</c><00:33:42.180><c> it</c><00:33:42.480><c> doesn't</c><00:33:42.759><c> happen</c><00:33:43.099><c> necessarily</c><00:33:43.779><c> at</c><00:33:44.440><c> your</c><00:33:44.680><c> age,</c>

00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:47.119
but<00:33:45.240><c> not</c><00:33:45.460><c> long</c><00:33:45.660><c> after</c><00:33:46.019><c> your</c><00:33:46.279><c> age.</c>

00:33:47.420 --> 00:33:50.359
You<00:33:47.539><c> go</c><00:33:47.700><c> and</c><00:33:47.799><c> talk</c><00:33:47.960><c> to</c><00:33:48.079><c> some</c><00:33:48.259><c> of</c><00:33:48.359><c> the</c><00:33:48.480><c> young</c><00:33:48.619><c> marrieds.</c>

00:33:50.420 --> 00:33:53.859
A<00:33:50.599><c> young</c><00:33:50.799><c> sister</c><00:33:51.059><c> comes</c><00:33:51.240><c> up</c><00:33:51.460><c> to</c><00:33:51.619><c> me</c><00:33:51.980><c> and</c><00:33:52.299><c> she</c><00:33:52.779><c> says,</c>

00:33:54.279 --> 00:33:57.339
it<00:33:54.599><c> was</c><00:33:54.819><c> wonderful</c><00:33:55.240><c> where</c><00:33:55.480><c> I</c><00:33:55.779><c> started,</c><00:33:56.140><c> but</c><00:33:56.319><c> when</c><00:33:56.480><c> I</c><00:33:56.599><c> got</c><00:33:56.759><c> married,</c><00:33:57.200><c> my</c>

00:33:57.339 --> 00:33:59.319
husband<00:33:57.640><c> didn't</c><00:33:57.859><c> want</c><00:33:58.059><c> to</c><00:33:58.180><c> live</c><00:33:58.279><c> here.</c>

00:33:59.500 --> 00:34:01.819
So<00:33:59.740><c> we</c><00:33:59.839><c> went</c><00:34:00.000><c> away</c><00:34:00.200><c> off</c><00:34:00.500><c> somewhere</c><00:34:00.720><c> to</c><00:34:00.940><c> live.</c>

00:34:02.619 --> 00:34:06.220
And<00:34:03.140><c> I</c><00:34:03.660><c> couldn't</c><00:34:03.940><c> stand</c><00:34:04.220><c> it.</c><00:34:04.440><c> It</c><00:34:04.640><c> wasn't</c><00:34:04.839><c> my</c><00:34:05.119><c> background.</c>

00:34:06.740 --> 00:34:08.800
It<00:34:06.900><c> looked</c><00:34:07.039><c> like</c><00:34:07.259><c> it</c><00:34:07.339><c> was</c><00:34:07.500><c> going</c><00:34:07.619><c> to</c><00:34:07.740><c> be</c><00:34:07.960><c> an</c><00:34:08.019><c> absolute</c><00:34:08.320><c> disaster.</c>

00:34:08.860 --> 00:34:11.920
So<00:34:09.059><c> we</c><00:34:09.239><c> moved</c><00:34:09.420><c> back</c><00:34:09.760><c> here,</c><00:34:09.940><c> and</c><00:34:10.099><c> now</c><00:34:10.460><c> it's</c><00:34:10.980><c> not</c><00:34:11.139><c> his</c><00:34:11.400><c> background.</c>

00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:14.619
It<00:34:12.079><c> looks</c><00:34:12.239><c> like</c><00:34:12.780><c> it's</c><00:34:13.039><c> a</c><00:34:13.079><c> disaster</c><00:34:13.400><c> for</c><00:34:13.639><c> him.</c>

00:34:15.579 --> 00:34:19.480
And<00:34:15.980><c> it</c><00:34:16.260><c> really</c><00:34:16.639><c> is</c><00:34:16.900><c> quite</c><00:34:17.079><c> interesting</c><00:34:17.559><c> to</c><00:34:17.820><c> look</c><00:34:18.000><c> at</c><00:34:18.340><c> how</c><00:34:19.219><c> we</c>

00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:21.239
are<00:34:19.739><c> influenced</c><00:34:20.300><c> by</c><00:34:20.559><c> our</c><00:34:20.820><c> background</c>

00:34:21.239 --> 00:34:23.639
and<00:34:21.400><c> what</c><00:34:21.619><c> happens</c><00:34:21.960><c> when</c><00:34:22.179><c> suddenly</c><00:34:22.539><c> it's</c><00:34:22.820><c> totally</c><00:34:23.199><c> removed</c>

00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:25.380
and<00:34:23.739><c> we</c><00:34:23.860><c> go</c><00:34:24.059><c> somewhere</c><00:34:24.360><c> else.</c>

00:34:26.099 --> 00:34:30.260
I<00:34:26.579><c> don't</c><00:34:26.800><c> believe</c><00:34:27.619><c> that</c><00:34:28.340><c> we</c><00:34:28.500><c> really</c><00:34:28.739><c> have</c><00:34:28.960><c> to</c><00:34:29.119><c> worry</c><00:34:29.320><c> that</c><00:34:29.579><c> much</c><00:34:29.820><c> about</c><00:34:30.079><c> it</c>

00:34:30.260 --> 00:34:34.480
if<00:34:30.380><c> the</c><00:34:30.739><c> truth</c><00:34:31.079><c> is</c><00:34:31.760><c> governing</c><00:34:32.119><c> both</c><00:34:32.820><c> of</c><00:34:33.000><c> us.</c>

00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:37.219
Because<00:34:35.139><c> it</c><00:34:35.280><c> would</c><00:34:35.440><c> seem</c><00:34:35.639><c> to</c><00:34:35.820><c> me</c><00:34:36.019><c> that</c><00:34:36.179><c> if</c><00:34:36.360><c> the</c><00:34:36.619><c> principles</c><00:34:37.000><c> of</c>

00:34:37.219 --> 00:34:38.360
the<00:34:37.460><c> truth</c><00:34:37.599><c> are</c><00:34:37.860><c> governing</c><00:34:38.139><c> us,</c>

00:34:38.360 --> 00:34:40.340
we<00:34:38.460><c> could</c><00:34:38.619><c> go</c><00:34:38.780><c> anywhere</c><00:34:39.079><c> in</c><00:34:39.239><c> this</c><00:34:39.460><c> world</c><00:34:39.719><c> and</c><00:34:39.920><c> we</c><00:34:39.980><c> could</c><00:34:40.159><c> live</c>

00:34:40.340 --> 00:34:41.579
the<00:34:40.559><c> truth.</c>

00:34:42.139 --> 00:34:45.480
If<00:34:42.619><c> we</c><00:34:42.900><c> practice</c><00:34:43.239><c> the</c><00:34:43.480><c> principles</c><00:34:43.900><c> of</c><00:34:44.139><c> it</c><00:34:44.340><c> and</c><00:34:44.619><c> try</c><00:34:44.920><c> to</c><00:34:45.300><c> make</c>

00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:48.400
sure<00:34:45.760><c> that</c><00:34:46.280><c> God</c><00:34:46.679><c> is</c><00:34:46.900><c> working</c><00:34:47.139><c> in</c><00:34:47.320><c> our</c><00:34:47.480><c> life.</c>

00:34:48.860 --> 00:34:52.820
But<00:34:49.340><c> if</c><00:34:49.500><c> we're</c><00:34:50.500><c> depending</c><00:34:50.980><c> upon</c><00:34:51.300><c> a</c><00:34:51.619><c> strong</c><00:34:51.820><c> person</c><00:34:52.239><c> somewhere</c>

00:34:55.619 --> 00:34:57.119
then<00:34:55.760><c> we</c><00:34:55.900><c> are</c><00:34:56.000><c> in</c><00:34:56.159><c> trouble.</c>

00:34:58.739 --> 00:35:04.260

00:37:29.360 --> 00:37:31.760

00:37:33.340 --> 00:37:36.260
because<00:37:33.780><c> you</c><00:37:34.159><c> were</c><00:37:34.300><c> sort</c><00:37:34.420><c> of</c><00:37:34.579><c> introduced</c><00:37:34.880><c> as</c><00:37:35.119><c> the</c><00:37:35.340><c> expert.</c>

00:37:36.460 --> 00:37:38.980
And<00:37:36.460><c> even</c><00:37:36.820><c> though</c><00:37:37.039><c> in</c><00:37:37.199><c> terms</c><00:37:37.440><c> of</c><00:37:37.579><c> what</c><00:37:37.760><c> we</c><00:37:38.039><c> understand</c><00:37:38.340><c> as</c><00:37:38.519><c> the</c><00:37:38.760><c> truth,</c>

00:37:39.480 --> 00:37:42.019
we<00:37:39.619><c> all</c><00:37:39.920><c> were</c><00:37:40.179><c> experts</c><00:37:40.619><c> in</c><00:37:40.860><c> that</c><00:37:41.059><c> way</c><00:37:41.239><c> compared</c><00:37:41.619><c> to</c><00:37:41.840><c> the</c>

00:37:42.019 --> 00:37:43.239
average<00:37:42.239><c> person.</c>

00:37:44.659 --> 00:37:50.360
It<00:37:45.099><c> certainly</c><00:37:45.539><c> wasn't</c><00:37:46.539><c> a</c><00:37:46.780><c> very</c><00:37:47.400><c> good</c><00:37:48.260><c> introduction</c><00:37:48.820><c> for</c><00:37:49.079><c> people</c><00:37:49.340><c> who</c><00:37:49.579><c> felt</c>

00:37:50.480 --> 00:37:52.739
they<00:37:50.920><c> didn't</c><00:37:51.139><c> have</c><00:37:51.340><c> the</c><00:37:51.500><c> courage</c><00:37:51.719><c> to</c><00:37:51.940><c> do</c><00:37:52.059><c> it.</c>

00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:55.380
So<00:37:53.699><c> there</c><00:37:53.800><c> was</c><00:37:53.960><c> a</c><00:37:54.079><c> lot</c><00:37:54.179><c> of</c><00:37:54.360><c> people</c><00:37:54.559><c> in</c><00:37:54.719><c> our</c><00:37:54.880><c> area</c><00:37:55.039><c> that</c><00:37:55.239><c> really</c>

00:37:55.380 --> 00:37:56.400
looked<00:37:55.519><c> up</c><00:37:55.760><c> to</c><00:37:55.920><c> Brother</c><00:37:56.099><c> Ron.</c>

00:37:56.840 --> 00:38:00.039
Went<00:37:56.980><c> down</c><00:37:57.280><c> to</c><00:37:57.460><c> the</c><00:37:57.579><c> Allen</c><00:37:57.719><c> Gardens,</c><00:37:58.760><c> the</c><00:37:59.000><c> area</c><00:37:59.179><c> where</c><00:37:59.340><c> we</c><00:37:59.519><c> spoke,</c><00:37:59.860><c> and</c>

00:38:00.039 --> 00:38:00.800
went<00:38:00.159><c> with</c><00:38:00.320><c> him.</c>

00:38:00.800 --> 00:38:04.960
And<00:38:01.619><c> then</c><00:38:01.800><c> suddenly</c><00:38:02.079><c> he</c><00:38:02.280><c> died,</c><00:38:03.239><c> just</c><00:38:03.500><c> like</c><00:38:03.739><c> that,</c><00:38:04.239><c> 43</c><00:38:04.639><c> years</c>

00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:08.400

00:38:08.460 --> 00:38:13.099
The<00:38:08.480><c> youngest</c><00:38:08.880><c> child</c><00:38:09.360><c> would</c><00:38:09.559><c> have</c><00:38:09.699><c> been</c><00:38:11.179><c> probably</c><00:38:12.360><c> just</c><00:38:12.980><c> a</c>

00:38:13.099 --> 00:38:14.360
few<00:38:13.179><c> months</c><00:38:13.420><c> old.</c>

00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:18.280
And<00:38:15.619><c> everyone</c><00:38:15.800><c> was</c><00:38:15.940><c> saying,</c><00:38:16.260><c> well,</c><00:38:16.519><c> why</c><00:38:16.760><c> would</c><00:38:16.940><c> God</c><00:38:17.159><c> do</c><00:38:17.400><c> this?</c>

00:38:19.159 --> 00:38:21.480
And<00:38:19.380><c> no</c><00:38:19.500><c> one</c><00:38:19.619><c> had</c><00:38:19.760><c> any</c><00:38:19.940><c> answers</c><00:38:20.280><c> because</c><00:38:20.619><c> we</c><00:38:20.980><c> don't</c><00:38:21.219><c> know</c><00:38:21.300><c> why</c>

00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:22.000
God<00:38:21.699><c> did</c><00:38:21.900><c> that.</c>

00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:25.739
We<00:38:22.139><c> don't</c><00:38:22.340><c> know</c><00:38:22.480><c> to</c><00:38:22.639><c> today</c><00:38:23.039><c> why</c><00:38:23.500><c> God</c><00:38:23.760><c> did</c><00:38:24.059><c> that,</c><00:38:24.599><c> except</c><00:38:24.900><c> that</c>

00:38:25.739 --> 00:38:28.219
it<00:38:26.019><c> was</c><00:38:26.179><c> just</c><00:38:26.400><c> like</c><00:38:26.840><c> going</c><00:38:27.019><c> into</c><00:38:27.219><c> the</c><00:38:27.420><c> bush.</c>

00:38:28.780 --> 00:38:32.199
And<00:38:29.260><c> if</c><00:38:29.340><c> you</c><00:38:29.460><c> go</c><00:38:29.559><c> into</c><00:38:29.820><c> a</c><00:38:30.019><c> bush</c><00:38:30.300><c> that's</c><00:38:31.159><c> a</c><00:38:31.280><c> mature</c><00:38:31.659><c> bush</c><00:38:31.980><c> that</c>

00:38:32.199 --> 00:38:33.780
you<00:38:32.320><c> would</c><00:38:32.440><c> use</c><00:38:32.659><c> for</c><00:38:32.880><c> lumbering,</c>

00:38:33.980 --> 00:38:37.039
you'd<00:38:34.119><c> have</c><00:38:34.139><c> a</c><00:38:34.280><c> lot</c><00:38:34.440><c> of</c><00:38:34.599><c> big</c><00:38:34.780><c> tall</c><00:38:34.980><c> trees</c><00:38:35.440><c> in</c><00:38:35.679><c> a</c><00:38:35.820><c> bush</c><00:38:35.920><c> like</c><00:38:36.239><c> that.</c>

00:38:37.179 --> 00:38:41.500
And<00:38:37.420><c> if</c><00:38:37.539><c> you</c><00:38:37.739><c> take</c><00:38:37.960><c> out</c><00:38:38.800><c> the</c><00:38:39.300><c> big</c><00:38:39.579><c> trees,</c><00:38:40.480><c> which</c><00:38:40.760><c> are</c><00:38:40.960><c> mature</c>

00:38:43.679 --> 00:38:46.860
what<00:38:43.800><c> you</c><00:38:44.039><c> find</c><00:38:44.320><c> is</c><00:38:44.519><c> a</c><00:38:44.659><c> whole</c><00:38:44.860><c> lot</c><00:38:44.980><c> of</c><00:38:45.400><c> little</c><00:38:45.599><c> trees</c><00:38:46.079><c> that</c><00:38:46.619><c> are</c>

00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:52.380
to<00:38:48.800><c> really</c><00:38:49.039><c> have</c><00:38:49.199><c> the</c><00:38:49.460><c> roots</c><00:38:49.800><c> to</c><00:38:50.599><c> give</c><00:38:51.099><c> them</c><00:38:51.340><c> stability.</c>

00:38:52.860 --> 00:38:55.480
They<00:38:53.019><c> were</c><00:38:53.139><c> all</c><00:38:53.420><c> growing</c><00:38:53.699><c> up</c><00:38:53.960><c> under</c><00:38:54.139><c> the</c><00:38:54.440><c> shadow</c><00:38:54.659><c> of</c><00:38:54.820><c> the</c><00:38:54.960><c> big</c><00:38:55.219><c> tree.</c>

00:38:55.480 --> 00:39:00.659
That's<00:38:56.099><c> typical</c><00:38:56.480><c> of</c><00:38:56.679><c> a</c><00:38:56.900><c> mature</c><00:38:57.420><c> bush</c><00:38:57.960><c> that</c><00:38:58.940><c> you</c><00:38:59.059><c> would</c><00:38:59.239><c> harvest</c><00:38:59.579><c> for</c><00:38:59.800><c> timber.</c>

00:39:01.179 --> 00:39:03.659
Well,<00:39:01.320><c> then</c><00:39:01.500><c> the</c><00:39:01.579><c> wind</c><00:39:01.699><c> comes</c><00:39:02.000><c> along</c><00:39:02.420><c> without</c><00:39:02.659><c> that</c><00:39:02.920><c> big</c><00:39:03.099><c> tree</c><00:39:03.280><c> there,</c>

have<00:39:06.420><c> grown</c><00:39:06.659><c> very</c><00:39:07.480><c> tall.</c>

00:39:07.820 --> 00:39:09.980
It's<00:39:08.019><c> just</c><00:39:08.239><c> like</c><00:39:08.420><c> a</c><00:39:08.639><c> greenhouse</c><00:39:08.920><c> situation,</c><00:39:09.659><c> too,</c><00:39:09.739><c> where</c>

00:39:11.780 --> 00:39:13.599

00:39:19.079 --> 00:39:22.920
They<00:39:19.260><c> just</c><00:39:19.760><c> wither</c><00:39:20.099><c> under</c><00:39:20.440><c> wind</c><00:39:20.920><c> and</c><00:39:21.440><c> under</c><00:39:21.639><c> any</c><00:39:22.019><c> kind</c><00:39:22.239><c> of</c>

00:39:27.139 --> 00:39:29.639
Well,<00:39:27.579><c> that's</c><00:39:28.019><c> what</c><00:39:28.280><c> happened</c><00:39:28.400><c> in</c><00:39:28.559><c> the</c><00:39:28.719><c> community.</c>

00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:32.659

Which<00:44:38.880><c> he</c><00:44:39.119><c> says,</c><00:44:39.780><c> that's</c><00:44:39.940><c> exactly</c><00:44:40.360><c> what</c><00:44:40.559><c> Jesus</c><00:44:40.920><c> did,</c>

00:44:41.679 --> 00:44:46.320
who<00:44:41.780><c> for</c><00:44:41.980><c> the</c><00:44:42.300><c> joy</c><00:44:42.840><c> that</c><00:44:43.340><c> was</c><00:44:43.599><c> set</c><00:44:43.820><c> before</c><00:44:44.239><c> him,</c><00:44:45.400><c> endured</c><00:44:45.760><c> the</c>

00:44:50.420 --> 00:44:51.860
That's<00:44:50.679><c> pretty</c><00:44:50.840><c> high</c><00:44:51.059><c> calling.</c>

00:44:52.960 --> 00:44:56.559
But<00:44:53.139><c> it</c><00:44:53.280><c> tells</c><00:44:53.500><c> us,</c><00:44:54.059><c> I</c><00:44:54.260><c> don't</c><00:44:54.480><c> think</c><00:44:54.699><c> without</c><00:44:54.940><c> any</c><00:44:55.559><c> doubt</c><00:44:55.840><c> about</c><00:44:56.079><c> it,</c>

00:44:56.739 --> 00:45:00.440
that<00:44:56.920><c> you</c><00:44:57.159><c> have</c><00:44:57.400><c> to</c><00:44:57.599><c> be</c><00:44:57.820><c> focused</c><00:44:58.280><c> on</c><00:44:59.039><c> what</c><00:44:59.440><c> happens</c><00:44:59.840><c> at</c><00:45:00.039><c> the</c><00:45:00.159><c> end</c><00:45:00.280><c> of</c>

00:45:00.440 --> 00:45:01.360
the<00:45:00.559><c> race.</c>

00:45:01.880 --> 00:45:05.139
You<00:45:02.179><c> have</c><00:45:02.360><c> to</c><00:45:02.539><c> be</c><00:45:02.699><c> convinced</c><00:45:03.139><c> that</c><00:45:03.360><c> God</c><00:45:03.539><c> is</c><00:45:03.820><c> a</c><00:45:04.039><c> rewarder.</c>

00:45:05.139 --> 00:45:09.840
It's<00:45:05.699><c> worth</c><00:45:05.880><c> running</c><00:45:06.380><c> that</c><00:45:06.940><c> race</c><00:45:07.300><c> and</c><00:45:07.619><c> running</c><00:45:07.840><c> it</c><00:45:08.260><c> flat</c><00:45:08.480><c> out.</c>

Okay,<00:45:11.280><c> we've</c><00:45:11.760><c> focused</c><00:45:12.139><c> a</c><00:45:12.280><c> little</c><00:45:12.480><c> bit</c><00:45:12.619><c> on</c><00:45:12.800><c> the</c><00:45:12.940><c> Lord</c><00:45:13.119><c> Jesus</c><00:45:13.500><c> Christ,</c>

00:45:15.079 --> 00:45:16.219
the<00:45:15.139><c> world's</c><00:45:15.539><c> class</c><00:45:15.760><c> Lord</c><00:45:16.019><c> willing.</c>

00:45:16.420 --> 00:45:19.059
We<00:45:16.420><c> want</c><00:45:16.599><c> to</c><00:45:16.659><c> look</c><00:45:16.880><c> at</c><00:45:17.320><c> the</c><00:45:17.360><c> statement</c><00:45:17.760><c> that</c><00:45:18.039><c> the</c><00:45:18.179><c> Lord</c><00:45:18.320><c> makes,</c>

00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:25.320
where<00:45:19.539><c> he</c><00:45:19.739><c> says,</c><00:45:21.579><c> you</c><00:45:21.679><c> follow</c><00:45:21.980><c> me</c><00:45:22.719><c> and</c><00:45:23.699><c> let</c><00:45:23.900><c> the</c><00:45:24.239><c> dead</c><00:45:24.840><c> bury</c>

their<00:45:25.579><c> dead.</c>

00:45:26.039 --> 00:45:28.079
I<00:45:26.219><c> think</c><00:45:26.380><c> that's</c><00:45:26.559><c> one</c><00:45:26.719><c> of</c><00:45:26.780><c> the</c><00:45:26.880><c> most</c><00:45:27.119><c> challenging</c><00:45:27.619><c> statements</c>

00:45:35.659 --> 00:45:37.940

00:45:40.659 --> 00:45:42.800
He<00:45:40.820><c> said,</c><00:45:40.840><c> let</c><00:45:40.900><c> me</c><00:45:41.000><c> go</c><00:45:41.199><c> back</c><00:45:41.380><c> and</c><00:45:41.519><c> bury</c><00:45:41.679><c> my</c><00:45:41.960><c> dad.</c>

You<00:45:46.780><c> want</c><00:45:46.860><c> to</c><00:45:46.960><c> think</c><00:45:47.059><c> about</c><00:45:47.239><c> that</c><00:45:47.440><c> a</c><00:45:47.559><c> bit</c><00:45:47.860><c> and</c><00:45:48.039><c> we'll</c><00:45:48.199><c> take</c><00:45:48.440><c> that</c><00:45:48.579><c> up</c>
