00:03:05.780 --> 00:03:08.919
You<00:03:05.840><c> know,</c><00:03:05.979><c> God</c><00:03:06.259><c> has</c><00:03:06.539><c> this</c><00:03:06.900><c> plan</c><00:03:07.219><c> and</c><00:03:07.400><c> this</c><00:03:07.659><c> purpose.</c>

00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:13.580
And<00:03:09.479><c> he</c><00:03:10.439><c> is</c><00:03:11.560><c> wise</c><00:03:11.939><c> and</c><00:03:12.180><c> all</c><00:03:12.379><c>-knowing</c><00:03:12.680><c> and</c><00:03:12.759><c> knows</c><00:03:12.979><c> what's</c><00:03:13.280><c> best</c>

for<00:03:13.759><c> all</c><00:03:14.039><c> of</c><00:03:14.139><c> us.</c>

00:03:16.379 --> 00:03:21.120
So<00:03:16.979><c> the</c><00:03:17.159><c> widow</c><00:03:17.340><c> of</c><00:03:17.560><c> Zarephath</c><00:03:18.020><c> is</c><00:03:18.259><c> the</c><00:03:18.460><c> widow</c><00:03:18.699><c> that</c><00:03:19.020><c> hungered.</c>

00:03:26.099 --> 00:03:30.840
So<00:03:26.819><c> in</c><00:03:27.719><c> our</c><00:03:27.900><c> reading,</c><00:03:28.680><c> in</c><00:03:28.860><c> verse</c><00:03:29.020><c> 15,</c><00:03:29.740><c> it</c><00:03:29.740><c> says,</c><00:03:30.080><c> you</c><00:03:30.199><c> know,</c>

Jesus<00:03:31.180><c> is</c><00:03:31.439><c> going</c><00:03:31.599><c> through</c><00:03:31.840><c> Galilee</c><00:03:32.479><c> and</c><00:03:32.759><c> he's</c><00:03:33.139><c> healing</c><00:03:33.719><c> and</c>

00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:36.520
he's<00:03:35.259><c> teaching</c><00:03:35.620><c> in</c><00:03:35.819><c> the</c><00:03:35.960><c> synagogues</c>

00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:38.240
and<00:03:36.599><c> he's</c><00:03:36.780><c> being</c><00:03:37.139><c> glorified</c><00:03:37.819><c> by</c><00:03:38.080><c> all.</c>

00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:41.819
And<00:03:38.360><c> what's</c><00:03:38.699><c> happening</c><00:03:39.000><c> in</c><00:03:39.319><c> modern</c><00:03:39.580><c> terms</c><00:03:39.900><c> is</c><00:03:40.060><c> he's</c><00:03:40.300><c> becoming</c><00:03:40.639><c> famous.</c>

00:03:41.860 --> 00:03:43.000
People<00:03:42.099><c> are</c><00:03:42.360><c> hearing</c><00:03:42.560><c> about</c><00:03:42.840><c> him.</c>

00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:43.919
They<00:03:43.159><c> want</c><00:03:43.319><c> to</c><00:03:43.520><c> see</c><00:03:43.740><c> him.</c>

00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:46.460
They<00:03:44.120><c> want</c><00:03:44.319><c> to</c><00:03:44.800><c> hear</c><00:03:45.000><c> what</c><00:03:45.120><c> he's</c><00:03:45.460><c> doing.</c>

00:03:46.780 --> 00:03:48.199
They<00:03:47.060><c> just</c><00:03:47.319><c> want</c><00:03:47.439><c> to</c><00:03:47.539><c> be</c><00:03:47.719><c> around</c><00:03:48.060><c> him.</c>

00:03:48.300 --> 00:03:50.139
He's<00:03:48.479><c> becoming</c><00:03:48.819><c> famous.</c>

00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.960
And<00:03:50.960><c> so</c><00:03:51.120><c> he</c><00:03:51.240><c> heads</c><00:03:51.460><c> home</c><00:03:51.860><c> to</c><00:03:52.319><c> his</c><00:03:53.539><c> hometown.</c>

00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:55.699
And<00:03:54.180><c> imagine</c><00:03:54.699><c> if</c><00:03:54.840><c> they</c><00:03:54.939><c> had</c><00:03:55.180><c> newspapers.</c>

00:03:55.819 --> 00:04:00.099
The<00:03:55.979><c> newspapers</c><00:03:56.479><c> would</c><00:03:56.719><c> have</c><00:03:56.860><c> said,</c><00:03:57.139><c> local</c><00:03:57.520><c> boy</c><00:03:57.900><c> performs</c><00:03:58.479><c> miracles</c><00:03:59.199><c> or</c>

00:04:00.099 --> 00:04:02.719
homecoming<00:04:00.780><c> for</c><00:04:01.759><c> Jesus.</c>

00:04:03.180 --> 00:04:04.479
And<00:04:03.340><c> there</c><00:04:03.439><c> would</c><00:04:03.539><c> have</c><00:04:03.639><c> been</c><00:04:03.800><c> excitement.</c>

00:04:04.860 --> 00:04:08.300
And<00:04:05.020><c> we</c><00:04:05.159><c> know</c><00:04:05.400><c> that</c><00:04:05.819><c> they</c><00:04:06.099><c> wanted</c><00:04:06.400><c> to</c><00:04:06.740><c> see</c><00:04:07.400><c> these</c><00:04:07.919><c> things</c><00:04:08.139><c> he</c>

00:04:08.300 --> 00:04:09.139
was<00:04:08.460><c> doing</c><00:04:08.680><c> elsewhere.</c>

00:04:09.219 --> 00:04:10.379
Let's<00:04:09.500><c> see</c><00:04:09.680><c> him</c><00:04:09.840><c> do</c><00:04:09.939><c> it</c><00:04:10.159><c> here.</c>

00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.000
This<00:04:10.719><c> is</c><00:04:10.919><c> an</c><00:04:11.280><c> exciting</c><00:04:11.860><c> time.</c>

00:04:14.259 --> 00:04:17.000
And<00:04:14.419><c> he's</c><00:04:14.699><c> becoming,</c><00:04:15.500><c> as</c><00:04:15.759><c> I</c><00:04:15.939><c> said,</c><00:04:16.100><c> he's</c><00:04:16.300><c> becoming</c><00:04:16.579><c> famous.</c>

00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:19.439
So<00:04:17.199><c> he</c><00:04:17.319><c> goes</c><00:04:17.579><c> to</c><00:04:17.819><c> the</c><00:04:18.019><c> local</c><00:04:18.339><c> synagogue.</c>

00:04:19.980 --> 00:04:25.420
And<00:04:20.620><c> only</c><00:04:21.139><c> Luke</c><00:04:21.740><c> records</c><00:04:22.600><c> where</c><00:04:23.600><c> he</c><00:04:24.019><c> read</c><00:04:24.279><c> from</c><00:04:24.660><c> in</c><00:04:25.019><c> Isaiah,</c>

00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:28.839
chapter<00:04:25.899><c> 61,</c><00:04:26.879><c> verses</c><00:04:27.000><c> one</c><00:04:27.279><c> and</c><00:04:27.519><c> two.</c>

00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:34.620
And<00:04:29.639><c> here</c><00:04:29.939><c> it's</c><00:04:30.259><c> in</c><00:04:30.579><c> Luke,</c><00:04:31.160><c> chapter</c><00:04:31.319><c> four,</c><00:04:32.079><c> verse</c><00:04:32.879><c> 18</c><00:04:33.680><c> and</c><00:04:34.279><c> 19.</c>

00:04:34.660 --> 00:04:37.240
Now,<00:04:34.819><c> just</c><00:04:35.139><c> think</c><00:04:35.420><c> about</c><00:04:35.639><c> this</c><00:04:35.839><c> and</c><00:04:35.980><c> ask</c><00:04:36.279><c> yourself,</c><00:04:36.600><c> why</c><00:04:37.060><c> did</c>

00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:38.720
he<00:04:37.399><c> go</c><00:04:37.680><c> here?</c>

00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:44.459
So<00:04:40.459><c> it</c><00:04:40.540><c> says,</c><00:04:41.579><c> the</c><00:04:41.759><c> spirit</c><00:04:42.279><c> of</c><00:04:42.519><c> the</c><00:04:42.740><c> Lord</c><00:04:42.959><c> is</c><00:04:43.279><c> upon</c><00:04:43.560><c> me</c><00:04:44.040><c> because</c>

00:04:44.459 --> 00:04:45.680
he<00:04:44.660><c> has</c><00:04:44.920><c> anointed</c><00:04:45.339><c> me.</c>

00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:46.860
So<00:04:45.839><c> he's</c><00:04:46.379><c> chosen.</c>

00:04:47.139 --> 00:04:48.839
I'm<00:04:47.500><c> chosen</c><00:04:47.899><c> by</c><00:04:48.180><c> God.</c>

00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:50.040
No,<00:04:49.319><c> I'm</c><00:04:49.459><c> the</c><00:04:49.579><c> Messiah.</c>

00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:51.279
The<00:04:50.600><c> word</c><00:04:50.759><c> anointed.</c>

00:04:51.420 --> 00:04:52.879
I'm<00:04:51.560><c> the</c><00:04:51.759><c> Messiah.</c>

00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:56.439
To<00:04:53.220><c> preach</c><00:04:53.819><c> the</c><00:04:54.519><c> gospel</c><00:04:55.040><c> to</c><00:04:55.279><c> the</c><00:04:55.579><c> poor.</c>

00:04:57.060 --> 00:04:58.240
He<00:04:57.160><c> has</c><00:04:57.620><c> sent</c><00:04:57.819><c> me.</c>

00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:02.240
You<00:04:58.420><c> know,</c><00:04:58.560><c> God</c><00:04:58.860><c> has</c><00:04:59.300><c> sent</c><00:04:59.540><c> me</c><00:05:00.660><c> to</c><00:05:01.060><c> heal</c><00:05:01.379><c> the</c><00:05:01.639><c> brokenhearted,</c>

those<00:05:09.019><c> who</c><00:05:09.259><c> are</c><00:05:09.439><c> oppressed,</c>

00:05:10.220 --> 00:05:12.740
to<00:05:10.439><c> proclaim</c><00:05:10.879><c> the</c><00:05:11.319><c> acceptable</c><00:05:11.740><c> year</c><00:05:12.079><c> of</c><00:05:12.300><c> the</c><00:05:12.519><c> Lord.</c>

00:05:12.740 --> 00:05:16.879
Listen<00:05:13.180><c> to</c><00:05:13.360><c> those</c><00:05:13.540><c> words,</c><00:05:14.300><c> heal</c><00:05:14.920><c> and</c><00:05:15.459><c> liberty</c><00:05:15.959><c> and</c><00:05:16.399><c> recover</c>

00:05:20.740 --> 00:05:24.819
And<00:05:21.040><c> we</c><00:05:21.120><c> know</c><00:05:21.300><c> that</c><00:05:21.620><c> this</c><00:05:21.860><c> is</c><00:05:22.100><c> probably</c><00:05:22.379><c> just</c><00:05:22.720><c> a</c><00:05:22.939><c> small</c><00:05:23.279><c> snippet</c><00:05:24.139><c> of</c><00:05:24.579><c> a</c>

larger<00:05:25.139><c> talk,</c>

00:05:25.779 --> 00:05:31.639
because<00:05:25.860><c> he</c><00:05:26.060><c> also</c><00:05:26.860><c> goes</c><00:05:27.680><c> to</c><00:05:27.879><c> Isaiah</c><00:05:28.240><c> 58,</c><00:05:30.759><c> verse</c><00:05:31.079><c> six.</c>

00:05:31.779 --> 00:05:33.779
That's<00:05:32.019><c> where</c><00:05:32.160><c> one</c><00:05:32.360><c> of</c><00:05:32.480><c> the</c><00:05:32.680><c> passages</c><00:05:33.000><c> comes</c><00:05:33.339><c> from.</c>

00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:35.939

00:14:12.779 --> 00:14:16.179
So<00:14:12.980><c> at</c><00:14:13.200><c> first</c><00:14:13.379><c> it</c><00:14:14.720><c> was</c><00:14:14.940><c> like</c><00:14:15.340><c> honey</c><00:14:15.679><c> to</c><00:14:15.919><c> them.</c>

00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:26.259

it's<00:14:58.120><c> bitter.</c>

00:14:59.059 --> 00:15:02.059
As<00:14:59.299><c> we</c><00:14:59.559><c> digest</c><00:15:00.200><c> what</c><00:15:00.759><c> that</c><00:15:01.080><c> means</c><00:15:01.299><c> in</c><00:15:01.519><c> our</c><00:15:01.700><c> lives.</c>

And<00:15:43.320><c> he</c><00:15:43.460><c> said</c><00:15:43.620><c> to</c><00:15:43.740><c> me,</c><00:15:43.899><c> take</c><00:15:44.159><c> it</c><00:15:44.460><c> and</c><00:15:44.620><c> eat</c><00:15:44.820><c> it.</c>

00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:47.799
And<00:15:45.720><c> it</c><00:15:45.860><c> will</c><00:15:46.039><c> make</c><00:15:46.259><c> your</c><00:15:46.740><c> stomach</c><00:15:47.240><c> bitter.</c>

00:15:48.100 --> 00:15:50.980
But<00:15:48.279><c> it</c><00:15:48.399><c> will</c><00:15:48.559><c> be</c><00:15:48.779><c> as</c><00:15:49.139><c> sweet</c><00:15:49.340><c> as</c><00:15:49.639><c> honey</c><00:15:49.840><c> in</c><00:15:50.000><c> your</c><00:15:50.159><c> mouth.</c>

00:15:51.220 --> 00:15:54.179
Then<00:15:51.440><c> I</c><00:15:51.559><c> took</c><00:15:51.720><c> the</c><00:15:51.940><c> little</c><00:15:52.159><c> book</c><00:15:52.720><c> out</c><00:15:53.240><c> of</c><00:15:53.379><c> the</c><00:15:53.620><c> angel's</c><00:15:53.980><c> hand</c>

00:15:54.179 --> 00:15:54.759
and<00:15:54.379><c> ate</c><00:15:54.559><c> it.</c>

00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:56.740
And<00:15:54.899><c> it</c><00:15:54.980><c> was</c><00:15:55.220><c> as</c><00:15:55.580><c> sweet</c><00:15:55.759><c> as</c><00:15:55.940><c> honey</c><00:15:56.100><c> in</c><00:15:56.259><c> my</c><00:15:56.419><c> mouth.</c>

00:15:57.200 --> 00:15:59.879
But<00:15:57.419><c> when</c><00:15:57.600><c> I</c><00:15:57.779><c> had</c><00:15:58.000><c> eaten</c><00:15:58.139><c> it,</c><00:15:58.379><c> my</c><00:15:58.700><c> stomach</c><00:15:59.039><c> became</c><00:15:59.440><c> bitter.</c>

00:15:59.879 --> 00:16:04.899
And<00:16:00.500><c> he</c><00:16:00.700><c> said</c><00:16:00.879><c> to</c><00:16:01.080><c> me,</c><00:16:01.379><c> you</c><00:16:01.559><c> must</c><00:16:02.000><c> prophesy</c><00:16:02.860><c> again</c><00:16:03.620><c> about</c><00:16:04.539><c> many</c>

00:16:04.899 --> 00:16:07.980
peoples,<00:16:05.659><c> nations,</c><00:16:06.120><c> tongues,</c><00:16:06.700><c> and</c><00:16:07.000><c> kings.</c>

00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:12.960
And<00:16:08.659><c> perhaps</c><00:16:09.100><c> the</c><00:16:09.360><c> implication</c><00:16:09.879><c> is</c><00:16:11.139><c> that</c><00:16:12.259><c> the</c><00:16:12.419><c> word</c><00:16:12.539><c> of</c><00:16:12.779><c> God</c>

00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:14.080
can<00:16:13.159><c> be</c><00:16:13.500><c> sweet</c><00:16:13.740><c> to</c><00:16:13.919><c> us.</c>

00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:17.360
But<00:16:14.240><c> when</c><00:16:14.440><c> you</c><00:16:14.700><c> have</c><00:16:14.840><c> to</c><00:16:15.139><c> actually</c><00:16:15.580><c> live</c><00:16:15.820><c> it,</c><00:16:16.779><c> that's</c><00:16:17.139><c> the</c>

00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:18.639
challenging<00:16:17.779><c> part.</c>

00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:20.179
That's<00:16:19.019><c> the</c><00:16:19.179><c> part</c><00:16:19.299><c> you</c><00:16:19.460><c> have</c><00:16:19.600><c> to</c><00:16:19.740><c> get</c><00:16:19.899><c> over.</c>

00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:22.679
That's<00:16:20.960><c> the</c><00:16:21.100><c> part</c><00:16:21.179><c> you</c><00:16:21.320><c> have</c><00:16:21.460><c> to</c><00:16:21.620><c> make</c><00:16:21.759><c> a</c><00:16:22.000><c> part</c><00:16:22.159><c> of</c><00:16:22.299><c> your</c><00:16:22.519><c> life.</c>

00:16:22.779 --> 00:16:25.419
And<00:16:22.919><c> yes,</c><00:16:23.100><c> sometimes</c><00:16:23.679><c> it's</c><00:16:23.960><c> bitter,</c><00:16:24.259><c> the</c><00:16:24.419><c> things</c><00:16:24.659><c> we</c><00:16:24.899><c> have</c><00:16:25.039><c> to</c><00:16:25.259><c> do.</c>

00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:28.879
Change<00:16:26.059><c> is</c><00:16:26.399><c> hard,</c><00:16:27.159><c> but</c><00:16:27.440><c> it's</c><00:16:27.799><c> necessary.</c>

00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:35.200
And<00:16:30.039><c> so</c><00:16:30.200><c> back</c><00:16:30.460><c> in</c><00:16:30.620><c> Luke</c><00:16:30.820><c> chapter</c><00:16:31.200><c> 4,</c><00:16:33.600><c> he's</c><00:16:33.919><c> bringing</c><00:16:34.299><c> this</c><00:16:34.620><c> message</c><00:16:34.960><c> of</c>

00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:36.700
who<00:16:35.440><c> he's</c><00:16:35.759><c> going</c><00:16:36.019><c> to.</c>

00:16:37.059 --> 00:16:41.919
He's<00:16:37.700><c> going</c><00:16:37.899><c> to</c><00:16:38.399><c> fulfill</c><00:16:39.080><c> what</c><00:16:39.799><c> his</c><00:16:40.279><c> father</c><00:16:40.600><c> has</c><00:16:41.000><c> asked</c><00:16:41.220><c> of</c><00:16:41.419><c> him.</c>

00:16:42.379 --> 00:16:47.080
And<00:16:42.539><c> it</c><00:16:42.759><c> says,</c><00:16:44.340><c> They</c><00:16:44.460><c> marveled</c><00:16:44.960><c> at</c><00:16:45.019><c> his</c><00:16:45.220><c> gracious</c><00:16:45.639><c> words,</c><00:16:46.059><c> which</c><00:16:46.299><c> proceeded</c><00:16:46.779><c> out</c>

00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:48.340
of<00:16:47.159><c> his</c><00:16:47.419><c> mouth.</c>

00:16:48.740 --> 00:16:52.059
And<00:16:49.039><c> they</c><00:16:49.340><c> said,</c><00:16:49.820><c> Is</c><00:16:50.039><c> this</c><00:16:50.299><c> not</c><00:16:50.559><c> Joseph's</c><00:16:51.240><c> son?</c>

00:16:53.940 --> 00:16:56.200
Let's<00:16:54.460><c> see</c><00:16:54.620><c> if</c><00:16:54.759><c> I'm</c><00:16:54.919><c> getting</c><00:16:55.039><c> behind.</c>

00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:00.759
They<00:16:58.399><c> said,</c><00:16:58.679><c> Is</c><00:16:58.740><c> this</c><00:16:59.019><c> not</c><00:16:59.299><c> Joseph's</c><00:17:00.019><c> son?</c>

00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:04.460
And<00:17:01.320><c> that</c><00:17:01.980><c> is</c><00:17:02.600><c> a</c><00:17:02.879><c> poisonous</c><00:17:03.360><c> attack.</c>

00:17:04.940 --> 00:17:08.859
In<00:17:05.160><c> John</c><00:17:05.599><c> chapter</c><00:17:05.940><c> 8</c><00:17:06.180><c> verse</c><00:17:06.359><c> 41,</c><00:17:06.839><c> they</c><00:17:07.140><c> make</c><00:17:07.240><c> it</c><00:17:07.400><c> a</c><00:17:07.440><c> little</c><00:17:07.660><c> bit</c><00:17:07.980><c> clearer.</c>

00:17:09.220 --> 00:17:11.900
They<00:17:09.319><c> say,</c><00:17:09.460><c> We're</c><00:17:09.779><c> not</c><00:17:10.000><c> born</c><00:17:10.319><c> of</c><00:17:10.579><c> fornication.</c>

00:17:12.619 --> 00:17:15.779
That's<00:17:13.000><c> what</c><00:17:13.160><c> they're</c><00:17:13.440><c> saying</c><00:17:13.599><c> to</c><00:17:13.819><c> Jesus</c><00:17:14.160><c> when</c><00:17:14.319><c> they</c><00:17:14.539><c> say,</c><00:17:15.519><c> Is</c>

00:17:15.779 --> 00:17:16.819
this<00:17:16.000><c> not</c><00:17:16.180><c> Joseph's</c><00:17:16.700><c> son?</c>

00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:19.299
This<00:17:17.099><c> is</c><00:17:17.339><c> the</c><00:17:17.380><c> guy</c><00:17:17.579><c> that</c><00:17:17.740><c> was</c><00:17:18.000><c> born</c><00:17:18.279><c> of</c><00:17:18.579><c> fornication.</c>

00:17:19.299 --> 00:17:22.180
Do<00:17:20.000><c> you</c><00:17:20.039><c> remember</c><00:17:20.220><c> that</c><00:17:20.519><c> Joseph</c><00:17:21.019><c> and</c><00:17:21.299><c> Mary</c><00:17:21.559><c> and</c><00:17:21.680><c> that</c><00:17:21.900><c> whole</c>

00:17:22.180 --> 00:17:25.140
thing<00:17:22.380><c> that</c><00:17:22.660><c> happened</c><00:17:22.960><c> so</c><00:17:23.619><c> many</c><00:17:23.819><c> years</c><00:17:24.099><c> ago?</c>

00:17:25.339 --> 00:17:28.099
It<00:17:25.559><c> was</c><00:17:25.660><c> a</c><00:17:25.980><c> poisonous</c><00:17:26.480><c> attack</c><00:17:26.920><c> on</c><00:17:27.099><c> him.</c>

00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:30.180
They<00:17:28.619><c> could</c><00:17:28.900><c> have</c><00:17:29.099><c> been</c><00:17:29.220><c> like</c><00:17:29.579><c> Zacchaeus.</c>

00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:34.500
We<00:17:30.420><c> know</c><00:17:30.579><c> the</c><00:17:30.819><c> story</c><00:17:31.019><c> of</c><00:17:31.220><c> Zacchaeus,</c><00:17:32.579><c> who</c><00:17:32.859><c> wanted</c><00:17:33.299><c> to</c><00:17:33.720><c> be</c><00:17:33.819><c> with</c><00:17:33.960><c> Jesus.</c>

00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:36.640
Jesus<00:17:35.079><c> said,</c><00:17:35.400><c> Get</c><00:17:35.420><c> down</c><00:17:35.640><c> here.</c><00:17:35.779><c> We</c><00:17:35.880><c> have</c><00:17:36.079><c> to</c><00:17:36.259><c> talk.</c>

00:17:37.059 --> 00:17:40.640
And<00:17:37.319><c> Zacchaeus,</c><00:17:37.859><c> after</c><00:17:38.299><c> hearing</c><00:17:38.980><c> and</c><00:17:39.640><c> knowing</c><00:17:39.980><c> what</c><00:17:40.220><c> he</c><00:17:40.420><c> had</c>

00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:41.920
to<00:17:40.859><c> do,</c>

00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:43.579
he<00:17:42.259><c> could</c><00:17:42.420><c> have</c><00:17:42.519><c> said,</c><00:17:42.619><c> I'm</c><00:17:42.740><c> not</c><00:17:42.940><c> doing</c><00:17:43.119><c> that.</c>

00:17:43.779 --> 00:17:45.500
I'm<00:17:44.099><c> keeping</c><00:17:44.359><c> my</c><00:17:44.619><c> money.</c>

00:17:45.819 --> 00:17:48.119
I've<00:17:46.299><c> heard</c><00:17:46.500><c> about</c><00:17:46.740><c> you</c><00:17:47.059><c> and</c><00:17:47.140><c> where</c><00:17:47.299><c> you</c><00:17:47.519><c> come</c><00:17:47.720><c> from.</c>

00:17:48.500 --> 00:17:49.359
Get<00:17:48.720><c> out</c><00:17:48.940><c> of</c><00:17:49.059><c> here.</c>

00:17:49.660 --> 00:17:51.460
But<00:17:49.759><c> he</c><00:17:49.880><c> didn't.</c><00:17:50.440><c> Zacchaeus</c><00:17:50.839><c> changed.</c>

00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:53.559
He<00:17:51.700><c> said,</c><00:17:51.779><c> I'm</c><00:17:51.960><c> going</c><00:17:52.140><c> to</c><00:17:52.319><c> give</c><00:17:52.440><c> it</c><00:17:52.559><c> all</c><00:17:52.759><c> away</c><00:17:53.079><c> and</c><00:17:53.259><c> I'm</c><00:17:53.319><c> going</c>

00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:55.420
to<00:17:53.700><c> devote</c><00:17:53.960><c> myself</c><00:17:54.420><c> to</c><00:17:54.660><c> you.</c>

00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:58.039
These<00:17:55.839><c> people</c><00:17:56.200><c> could</c><00:17:56.440><c> have</c><00:17:56.539><c> been</c><00:17:56.680><c> like</c><00:17:56.980><c> that.</c>

00:17:58.099 --> 00:17:58.940
But<00:17:58.259><c> they</c><00:17:58.440><c> didn't.</c>

00:17:59.180 --> 00:18:01.339
They<00:17:59.539><c> attacked</c><00:18:00.160><c> him.</c>

00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:05.019
They<00:18:03.279><c> had</c><00:18:03.539><c> many</c><00:18:03.880><c> objections</c><00:18:04.400><c> to</c><00:18:04.660><c> Jesus.</c>

00:18:05.180 --> 00:18:06.819
This<00:18:05.380><c> is</c><00:18:05.539><c> just</c><00:18:05.839><c> a</c><00:18:06.579><c> list.</c>

00:18:07.059 --> 00:18:08.660
They<00:18:07.319><c> objected</c><00:18:07.859><c> to</c><00:18:07.960><c> his</c><00:18:08.240><c> parents.</c>

00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:11.180
They<00:18:09.259><c> didn't</c><00:18:09.460><c> like</c><00:18:09.680><c> the</c><00:18:09.880><c> fact</c><00:18:10.079><c> that</c><00:18:10.259><c> he</c><00:18:10.400><c> was</c><00:18:10.680><c> poor.</c>

00:18:11.180 --> 00:18:17.420
This<00:18:12.259><c> virgin</c><00:18:12.680><c> birth</c><00:18:13.019><c> thing</c><00:18:14.000><c> was</c><00:18:15.759><c> a</c><00:18:16.079><c> joke</c><00:18:16.319><c> to</c><00:18:16.480><c> them.</c>

00:18:17.660 --> 00:18:18.839
They<00:18:17.799><c> didn't</c><00:18:17.980><c> like</c><00:18:18.119><c> his</c><00:18:18.319><c> hometown.</c>

00:18:19.099 --> 00:18:21.940
They<00:18:19.259><c> didn't</c><00:18:19.480><c> like</c><00:18:19.680><c> his</c><00:18:19.920><c> education</c><00:18:20.460><c> or</c><00:18:20.640><c> his</c><00:18:20.839><c> lack</c><00:18:21.039><c> of</c><00:18:21.339><c> education.</c>

00:18:22.380 --> 00:18:25.920
They<00:18:22.579><c> didn't</c><00:18:22.759><c> like</c><00:18:22.980><c> his</c><00:18:23.359><c> trade</c><00:18:23.720><c> because</c><00:18:24.019><c> he</c><00:18:24.279><c> wasn't</c><00:18:24.519><c> an</c><00:18:24.859><c> intellectual.</c>

00:18:26.099 --> 00:18:29.059
They<00:18:26.279><c> didn't</c><00:18:26.460><c> like</c><00:18:26.619><c> his</c><00:18:26.940><c> appearance,</c><00:18:27.480><c> his</c><00:18:27.700><c> disciples,</c><00:18:28.740><c> his</c>

00:18:29.059 --> 00:18:30.900
company,<00:18:29.559><c> his</c><00:18:29.779><c> audience,</c><00:18:30.240><c> his</c><00:18:30.519><c> teachings.</c>

00:18:31.339 --> 00:18:33.460
They<00:18:31.559><c> had</c><00:18:31.680><c> all</c><00:18:31.940><c> sorts</c><00:18:32.240><c> of</c><00:18:32.500><c> objections.</c>

00:18:36.579 --> 00:18:40.940
And<00:18:37.140><c> so</c><00:18:37.380><c> they</c><00:18:37.579><c> say,</c><00:18:38.240><c> he</c><00:18:38.440><c> says</c><00:18:38.740><c> to</c><00:18:38.940><c> them,</c><00:18:39.880><c> when</c><00:18:39.980><c> he</c><00:18:40.319><c> sees</c><00:18:40.619><c> this</c>

00:18:40.940 --> 00:18:43.359
response,<00:18:41.480><c> this</c><00:18:41.779><c> change</c><00:18:42.259><c> of</c><00:18:42.559><c> mood,</c>

00:18:43.740 --> 00:18:50.460
he<00:18:43.960><c> says,</c><00:18:45.859><c> you</c><00:18:45.980><c> will</c><00:18:46.259><c> surely</c><00:18:46.539><c> say</c><00:18:46.859><c> this</c><00:18:47.140><c> proverb</c><00:18:47.500><c> to</c><00:18:47.819><c> me,</c><00:18:48.420><c> physician,</c><00:18:49.099><c> heal</c><00:18:49.259><c> yourself.</c>

00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:54.019
Whatever<00:18:51.019><c> we</c><00:18:51.240><c> have</c><00:18:51.440><c> heard</c><00:18:51.660><c> done</c><00:18:51.880><c> in</c><00:18:52.119><c> Capernaum,</c><00:18:52.799><c> do</c><00:18:52.980><c> also</c><00:18:53.480><c> here</c><00:18:53.759><c> in</c>

00:18:54.019 --> 00:18:55.519
your<00:18:54.299><c> own</c><00:18:54.539><c> country.</c>

00:18:56.180 --> 00:18:58.279
So<00:18:56.359><c> they're</c><00:18:56.559><c> saying,</c><00:18:56.839><c> we</c><00:18:57.000><c> know</c><00:18:57.200><c> your</c><00:18:57.440><c> past.</c>

00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:01.380
Don't<00:18:58.759><c> come</c><00:18:59.059><c> here</c><00:18:59.420><c> telling</c><00:18:59.720><c> us</c><00:18:59.980><c> to</c><00:19:00.240><c> take</c><00:19:00.440><c> care</c><00:19:00.579><c> of</c><00:19:00.779><c> the</c><00:19:01.039><c> poor</c>

00:19:01.380 --> 00:19:02.680
and<00:19:01.839><c> the</c><00:19:02.079><c> needy</c>

00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:03.539
and<00:19:02.819><c> the</c><00:19:03.000><c> oppressed.</c>

00:19:03.819 --> 00:19:06.380
You<00:19:03.940><c> have</c><00:19:04.140><c> your</c><00:19:04.359><c> own</c><00:19:04.599><c> problems</c><00:19:04.920><c> you</c><00:19:05.059><c> have</c><00:19:05.200><c> to</c><00:19:05.339><c> deal</c><00:19:05.500><c> with.</c>

00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:10.039
That<00:19:07.339><c> beam</c><00:19:07.880><c> was</c><00:19:08.579><c> sticking</c><00:19:09.000><c> out</c><00:19:09.220><c> of</c><00:19:09.359><c> their</c><00:19:09.599><c> eye.</c>

00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:12.640
And<00:19:10.619><c> they</c><00:19:10.740><c> were</c><00:19:10.859><c> like,</c><00:19:11.079><c> you've</c><00:19:11.480><c> got</c><00:19:11.599><c> a</c><00:19:11.880><c> speck</c><00:19:12.079><c> there.</c>

00:19:13.059 --> 00:19:16.779
It<00:19:13.259><c> hasn't</c><00:19:13.500><c> been</c><00:19:14.259><c> really</c><00:19:14.859><c> explained</c><00:19:15.460><c> all</c><00:19:15.700><c> that</c><00:19:15.920><c> well.</c>

00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:22.599
They<00:19:19.619><c> didn't</c><00:19:19.900><c> see</c><00:19:20.119><c> that</c><00:19:20.420><c> beam</c><00:19:20.619><c> that</c><00:19:20.819><c> was</c><00:19:20.940><c> in</c><00:19:21.059><c> their</c><00:19:21.380><c> own</c><00:19:21.579><c> eye.</c>

00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:30.759
So<00:19:27.019><c> there's</c><00:19:27.400><c> three</c><00:19:27.660><c> problems</c><00:19:28.019><c> that</c><00:19:28.279><c> can</c><00:19:28.460><c> occur</c><00:19:29.019><c> when</c><00:19:30.119><c> somebody</c><00:19:30.440><c> brings</c>

00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:31.259
a<00:19:30.960><c> message.</c>

00:19:31.259 --> 00:19:36.220
The<00:19:31.519><c> first</c><00:19:31.799><c> is</c><00:19:32.500><c> the</c><00:19:32.819><c> person</c><00:19:33.220><c> bringing</c><00:19:33.700><c> the</c><00:19:34.220><c> call</c><00:19:34.500><c> for</c><00:19:34.779><c> a</c><00:19:35.019><c> change.</c>

00:19:37.940 --> 00:19:41.099
There<00:19:38.240><c> can</c><00:19:38.420><c> be</c><00:19:38.579><c> something</c><00:19:38.859><c> wrong</c><00:19:39.119><c> with</c><00:19:39.619><c> the</c><00:19:40.079><c> person.</c>

00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:43.519
So<00:19:41.640><c> we</c><00:19:41.740><c> have</c><00:19:41.920><c> to</c><00:19:42.079><c> ask</c><00:19:42.200><c> ourselves,</c><00:19:42.480><c> was</c><00:19:42.559><c> something</c><00:19:42.839><c> wrong</c><00:19:43.059><c> with</c><00:19:43.279><c> Christ?</c>

00:19:43.619 --> 00:19:45.640
They<00:19:43.900><c> saw</c><00:19:44.079><c> something</c><00:19:44.400><c> wrong</c><00:19:44.599><c> with</c><00:19:44.819><c> Christ,</c><00:19:45.079><c> but</c><00:19:45.240><c> was</c><00:19:45.420><c> there</c>

00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:47.740
really<00:19:45.940><c> something</c><00:19:46.220><c> wrong</c><00:19:46.440><c> with</c><00:19:46.799><c> Jesus?</c>

00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:49.279
You<00:19:48.140><c> know,</c><00:19:48.279><c> he</c><00:19:48.440><c> was</c><00:19:48.779><c> flawless.</c>

00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:51.960
So<00:19:49.799><c> the</c><00:19:50.000><c> problem</c><00:19:50.380><c> wasn't</c><00:19:50.660><c> with</c><00:19:50.940><c> the</c><00:19:51.099><c> person.</c>

00:19:52.740 --> 00:19:53.799
Was<00:19:52.940><c> the</c><00:19:53.220><c> message</c><00:19:53.480><c> flawed?</c>

00:19:53.940 --> 00:19:56.160
Was<00:19:54.039><c> what</c><00:19:54.220><c> he</c><00:19:54.400><c> was</c><00:19:54.720><c> saying</c><00:19:55.079><c> incorrect?</c>

00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:00.880
When<00:19:56.960><c> I</c><00:19:57.359><c> gave</c><00:19:57.579><c> this</c><00:19:57.859><c> talk</c><00:19:58.059><c> in</c><00:19:58.339><c> Cambridge,</c><00:19:59.359><c> I</c><00:19:59.559><c> was</c><00:19:59.619><c> saying,</c><00:20:00.180><c> imagine</c><00:20:00.660><c> if</c>

00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:02.720
somebody<00:20:01.099><c> came</c><00:20:01.420><c> into</c><00:20:01.720><c> your</c><00:20:02.400><c> hall</c>

00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:05.299
and<00:20:02.940><c> they</c><00:20:03.160><c> said,</c><00:20:03.400><c> you</c><00:20:03.460><c> know,</c><00:20:03.680><c> you</c><00:20:03.680><c> should</c><00:20:03.880><c> set</c><00:20:04.059><c> up</c><00:20:04.200><c> a</c><00:20:04.440><c> disco</c><00:20:04.759><c> ball</c><00:20:05.099><c> in</c>

00:20:05.299 --> 00:20:05.619
the<00:20:05.460><c> hall.</c>

00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:08.220
And<00:20:06.200><c> we</c><00:20:06.299><c> weren't</c><00:20:06.480><c> in</c><00:20:06.759><c> there</c><00:20:07.079><c> where</c><00:20:07.259><c> they</c><00:20:07.920><c> meet.</c>

00:20:08.460 --> 00:20:10.019
There's<00:20:08.799><c> a</c><00:20:08.980><c> disco</c><00:20:09.259><c> ball</c><00:20:09.539><c> in</c><00:20:09.680><c> their</c><00:20:09.880><c> hall.</c>

00:20:10.019 --> 00:20:11.640
I<00:20:10.180><c> didn't</c><00:20:10.420><c> know</c><00:20:10.599><c> that.</c>

00:20:13.279 --> 00:20:16.559
I<00:20:13.759><c> was</c><00:20:13.960><c> just</c><00:20:14.279><c> throwing</c><00:20:14.420><c> out</c><00:20:14.720><c> some</c><00:20:15.200><c> crazy</c><00:20:15.619><c> idea.</c>

00:20:18.299 --> 00:20:20.119
And<00:20:18.779><c> I</c><00:20:19.019><c> saw</c><00:20:19.200><c> Nate</c><00:20:19.480><c> Badger</c><00:20:19.779><c> in</c><00:20:19.900><c> the</c><00:20:20.000><c> back.</c>

00:20:20.119 --> 00:20:21.900
He<00:20:20.380><c> started</c><00:20:20.839><c> laughing.</c>

00:20:23.140 --> 00:20:25.660
So<00:20:23.619><c> if</c><00:20:23.779><c> they</c><00:20:23.900><c> had</c><00:20:24.059><c> a</c><00:20:24.299><c> message</c><00:20:24.720><c> that</c><00:20:24.920><c> was</c><00:20:25.160><c> flawed,</c><00:20:25.400><c> you</c><00:20:25.460><c> could</c>

00:20:25.660 --> 00:20:28.440
say,<00:20:26.019><c> OK,</c><00:20:26.440><c> we</c><00:20:26.539><c> don't</c><00:20:26.700><c> have</c><00:20:26.900><c> to</c><00:20:27.039><c> listen</c><00:20:27.259><c> to</c><00:20:27.440><c> this</c><00:20:27.579><c> person.</c>

00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:31.019
But<00:20:30.079><c> that</c><00:20:30.319><c> wasn't</c><00:20:30.519><c> the</c><00:20:30.759><c> case.</c>

00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:34.059
Jesus<00:20:31.779><c> was</c><00:20:32.000><c> going</c><00:20:32.259><c> right</c><00:20:32.700><c> into</c><00:20:33.019><c> Isaiah.</c>

00:20:34.339 --> 00:20:36.079
He<00:20:34.480><c> was</c><00:20:34.619><c> going</c><00:20:34.859><c> right</c><00:20:35.240><c> into</c><00:20:35.480><c> Deuteronomy.</c>

00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:39.299
He's<00:20:36.279><c> saying,</c><00:20:36.619><c> this</c><00:20:36.940><c> is</c><00:20:37.180><c> what</c><00:20:37.779><c> my</c><00:20:38.200><c> Heavenly</c><00:20:38.559><c> Father</c><00:20:38.940><c> has</c><00:20:39.200><c> sent</c>

00:20:39.299 --> 00:20:39.740
me<00:20:39.500><c> to</c><00:20:39.640><c> do.</c>

00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:41.200
It's<00:20:40.039><c> right</c><00:20:40.299><c> from</c><00:20:40.519><c> the</c><00:20:40.640><c> word</c><00:20:40.740><c> of</c><00:20:40.980><c> God.</c>

00:20:41.660 --> 00:20:44.680
You<00:20:41.740><c> can't</c><00:20:42.480><c> say</c><00:20:43.019><c> anything's</c><00:20:43.460><c> wrong</c><00:20:43.579><c> with</c><00:20:43.819><c> that.</c>

00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:45.640
So<00:20:44.960><c> what's</c><00:20:45.380><c> left?</c>

00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:49.099
There<00:20:46.559><c> was</c><00:20:46.799><c> something</c><00:20:47.059><c> wrong</c><00:20:47.420><c> with</c><00:20:47.640><c> the</c><00:20:48.019><c> people</c><00:20:48.500><c> who</c><00:20:48.819><c> were</c>

00:20:49.099 --> 00:20:51.000
receiving<00:20:49.619><c> the</c><00:20:49.960><c> criticism.</c>

00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:53.960
And<00:20:51.680><c> that's</c><00:20:51.880><c> what</c><00:20:52.019><c> he</c><00:20:52.140><c> had</c><00:20:52.359><c> to</c><00:20:52.519><c> get</c><00:20:52.720><c> to</c><00:20:52.900><c> to</c><00:20:53.160><c> fix.</c>

00:20:55.880 --> 00:21:01.940
Now,<00:20:56.440><c> I</c><00:20:57.000><c> think</c><00:20:57.240><c> Jesus</c><00:20:58.559><c> realizes</c><00:20:59.400><c> he's</c><00:20:59.759><c> in</c><00:20:59.920><c> an</c><00:21:00.099><c> impossible</c><00:21:00.700><c> situation.</c>

00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:06.500
The<00:21:03.680><c> Jews</c><00:21:03.859><c> were</c><00:21:04.180><c> never</c><00:21:04.460><c> going</c><00:21:04.700><c> to</c><00:21:05.019><c> accept</c><00:21:05.259><c> Jesus,</c><00:21:05.920><c> the</c><00:21:06.039><c> son</c><00:21:06.240><c> of</c>

00:21:06.500 --> 00:21:08.359
Joseph,<00:21:07.119><c> the</c><00:21:07.339><c> carpenter.</c>

00:21:11.259 --> 00:21:15.460
He<00:21:11.759><c> was</c><00:21:11.920><c> in</c><00:21:12.000><c> a</c><00:21:12.339><c> tough</c><00:21:12.500><c> situation</c><00:21:13.119><c> in</c><00:21:13.859><c> that</c><00:21:14.579><c> day.</c>

00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:18.920
And<00:21:16.000><c> so</c><00:21:16.140><c> what</c><00:21:16.299><c> I</c><00:21:16.420><c> think</c><00:21:16.559><c> he</c><00:21:16.779><c> does</c><00:21:16.940><c> is</c><00:21:17.099><c> he</c><00:21:17.299><c> takes</c><00:21:17.700><c> them</c><00:21:18.240><c> to</c><00:21:18.740><c> two</c>

00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:20.359
impossible<00:21:19.599><c> situations.</c>

00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:27.839
Two<00:21:21.359><c> situations</c><00:21:22.019><c> where</c><00:21:22.279><c> you'd</c><00:21:22.559><c> go,</c><00:21:23.799><c> no,</c><00:21:24.359><c> you</c><00:21:24.519><c> know,</c><00:21:25.359><c> if</c><00:21:25.500><c> we</c><00:21:25.759><c> read</c><00:21:25.960><c> these</c><00:21:26.180><c> stories</c><00:21:26.400><c> outside</c><00:21:26.920><c> the</c><00:21:27.160><c> word</c><00:21:27.259><c> of</c><00:21:27.539><c> God,</c>

00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:32.640
out<00:21:28.380><c> of</c><00:21:28.640><c> context</c><00:21:29.240><c> that</c><00:21:29.740><c> this</c><00:21:29.960><c> is</c><00:21:30.140><c> the</c><00:21:30.259><c> word</c><00:21:30.359><c> of</c><00:21:30.539><c> God,</c><00:21:30.720><c> we'd</c><00:21:30.980><c> say</c><00:21:31.160><c> impossible.</c>

00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:38.539
He<00:21:33.640><c> takes</c><00:21:33.960><c> them</c><00:21:34.220><c> to</c><00:21:34.900><c> the</c><00:21:35.059><c> story</c><00:21:35.279><c> of</c><00:21:35.559><c> Naaman</c><00:21:35.859><c> and</c><00:21:36.220><c> the</c><00:21:36.380><c> widow</c><00:21:36.640><c> of</c><00:21:36.960><c> Zarephath.</c>

00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:39.920
So<00:21:38.700><c> he</c><00:21:38.759><c> takes</c><00:21:39.000><c> them</c><00:21:39.160><c> to</c><00:21:39.240><c> the</c><00:21:39.319><c> word</c><00:21:39.460><c> of</c><00:21:39.619><c> God.</c>

00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:42.099
Think<00:21:40.420><c> about</c><00:21:40.680><c> this.</c>

00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:44.480
Naaman<00:21:43.099><c> has</c><00:21:43.539><c> leprosy.</c>

00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:50.400
And<00:21:45.000><c> he</c><00:21:45.119><c> goes</c><00:21:45.680><c> to</c><00:21:46.680><c> a</c><00:21:46.960><c> king</c><00:21:47.319><c> and</c><00:21:47.680><c> he</c><00:21:47.900><c> says,</c><00:21:49.400><c> I</c><00:21:49.400><c> heard</c><00:21:49.599><c> you</c><00:21:49.740><c> can</c><00:21:50.019><c> cure</c><00:21:50.180><c> me</c>

00:21:50.400 --> 00:21:51.220
of<00:21:50.579><c> my</c><00:21:50.799><c> leprosy.</c>

00:21:51.579 --> 00:21:52.099
Impossible.

00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:54.819
And<00:21:52.599><c> even</c><00:21:52.839><c> the</c><00:21:53.119><c> king</c><00:21:53.339><c> says,</c><00:21:54.460><c> what?</c>

00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:58.299
He<00:21:55.240><c> says,</c><00:21:55.740><c> am</c><00:21:56.000><c> I</c><00:21:56.220><c> a</c><00:21:56.400><c> god</c><00:21:56.579><c> to</c><00:21:56.779><c> kill</c><00:21:57.019><c> and</c><00:21:57.220><c> make</c><00:21:57.359><c> alive?</c>

00:21:58.819 --> 00:22:03.660
That<00:21:59.380><c> should</c><00:21:59.700><c> be</c><00:21:59.920><c> say</c><00:22:00.200><c> that</c><00:22:00.680><c> a</c><00:22:00.900><c> man</c><00:22:01.180><c> sends</c><00:22:01.519><c> a</c><00:22:01.759><c> man</c><00:22:01.940><c> to</c><00:22:02.220><c> me</c><00:22:02.740><c> to</c><00:22:03.099><c> heal</c><00:22:03.279><c> him</c><00:22:03.460><c> of</c>

00:22:03.660 --> 00:22:04.859
his<00:22:03.940><c> leprosy.</c>

00:22:05.059 --> 00:22:06.000
That's<00:22:05.380><c> impossible.</c>

00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:07.779
The<00:22:06.599><c> king</c><00:22:06.859><c> is</c><00:22:07.240><c> losing</c><00:22:07.539><c> it.</c>

00:22:07.779 --> 00:22:08.920
He's<00:22:08.160><c> picking</c><00:22:08.339><c> a</c><00:22:08.640><c> fight.</c>

00:22:09.019 --> 00:22:10.259
I<00:22:09.299><c> can't</c><00:22:09.559><c> do</c><00:22:09.839><c> that.</c>

00:22:10.339 --> 00:22:12.299
It's<00:22:10.720><c> an</c><00:22:10.960><c> impossible</c><00:22:11.519><c> situation.</c>

00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:16.819
The<00:22:13.279><c> widow,</c><00:22:14.640><c> once</c><00:22:14.900><c> again,</c><00:22:15.220><c> an</c><00:22:15.460><c> impossible</c><00:22:16.200><c> situation.</c>

00:22:17.019 --> 00:22:19.539
There's<00:22:17.259><c> a</c><00:22:17.579><c> three</c><00:22:17.799><c> year</c><00:22:18.140><c> drought,</c><00:22:18.819><c> three</c><00:22:18.920><c> and</c><00:22:19.079><c> a</c><00:22:19.140><c> half</c><00:22:19.279><c> years.</c>

00:22:19.539 --> 00:22:25.380
I<00:22:19.640><c> think</c><00:22:20.059><c> James</c><00:22:20.420><c> says,</c><00:22:21.539><c> you</c><00:22:23.000><c> don't</c><00:22:23.299><c> go</c><00:22:23.539><c> to</c><00:22:23.720><c> a</c><00:22:24.079><c> gentile</c><00:22:24.920><c> widow</c>

00:22:25.380 --> 00:22:27.119
who<00:22:25.920><c> has</c><00:22:26.279><c> nothing</c><00:22:26.640><c> in</c><00:22:26.880><c> the</c>

00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:31.000
first<00:22:27.400><c> place</c><00:22:27.819><c> to</c><00:22:28.299><c> sustain</c><00:22:28.859><c> you</c><00:22:29.099><c> in</c><00:22:29.279><c> a</c><00:22:29.539><c> drought</c><00:22:29.779><c> for</c><00:22:30.160><c> three</c><00:22:30.819><c> and</c>

00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:31.519
a<00:22:31.019><c> half</c><00:22:31.180><c> years.</c>

00:22:31.779 --> 00:22:33.539
That's<00:22:32.299><c> impossible.</c>

00:22:34.259 --> 00:22:35.599
And<00:22:34.660><c> yet</c><00:22:34.759><c> it</c><00:22:35.119><c> happens.</c>

00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:38.599
And<00:22:36.200><c> so</c><00:22:36.279><c> I</c><00:22:36.380><c> think</c><00:22:36.519><c> Jesus</c><00:22:36.900><c> is</c><00:22:37.220><c> looking</c><00:22:37.480><c> at</c><00:22:37.759><c> the</c><00:22:38.019><c> Jews</c><00:22:38.220><c> and</c><00:22:38.380><c> their</c>

00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:40.119
criticism<00:22:39.279><c> and</c><00:22:39.839><c> he's</c>

00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:41.980
saying,<00:22:40.279><c> I</c><00:22:40.400><c> think</c><00:22:40.519><c> he's</c><00:22:40.779><c> giving</c><00:22:40.960><c> one</c><00:22:41.359><c> last</c><00:22:41.680><c> effort.</c>

00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:43.900
I'm<00:22:42.299><c> going</c><00:22:42.400><c> to</c><00:22:42.640><c> try</c><00:22:42.799><c> my</c><00:22:43.119><c> best</c><00:22:43.420><c> with</c><00:22:43.660><c> them.</c>

00:22:43.940 --> 00:22:46.420
I'm<00:22:44.279><c> going</c><00:22:44.359><c> to</c><00:22:44.440><c> go</c><00:22:44.579><c> to</c><00:22:44.720><c> the</c><00:22:44.920><c> word</c><00:22:45.039><c> of</c><00:22:45.319><c> God</c><00:22:45.599><c> and</c><00:22:45.940><c> I'm</c><00:22:46.119><c> going</c><00:22:46.220><c> to</c>

00:22:46.420 --> 00:22:47.640
show<00:22:46.619><c> them</c><00:22:46.960><c> that</c><00:22:47.339><c> the</c>

00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:50.019
impossible<00:22:48.200><c> is</c><00:22:48.640><c> possible.</c>

00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:52.960
And<00:22:51.279><c> that's</c><00:22:51.500><c> one</c><00:22:51.720><c> thing</c><00:22:51.839><c> that</c><00:22:51.980><c> we</c><00:22:52.059><c> can</c><00:22:52.240><c> learn</c><00:22:52.500><c> from</c><00:22:52.700><c> Christ.</c>

00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:54.480
He<00:22:53.200><c> never</c><00:22:53.579><c> gives</c><00:22:53.839><c> up</c><00:22:54.099><c> on</c><00:22:54.279><c> them.</c>

00:22:54.539 --> 00:22:56.200
He's<00:22:54.859><c> always</c><00:22:55.279><c> trying.</c>

00:22:57.660 --> 00:23:00.839
So<00:22:57.779><c> he</c><00:22:57.900><c> takes</c><00:22:58.140><c> them</c><00:22:58.359><c> to,</c><00:22:59.119><c> we</c><00:22:59.400><c> won't</c><00:22:59.579><c> get</c><00:22:59.759><c> into</c><00:22:59.940><c> the</c><00:23:00.099><c> story</c><00:23:00.319><c> of</c><00:23:00.539><c> Naaman.</c>

00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:03.720
We'll<00:23:01.559><c> go</c><00:23:01.819><c> to</c><00:23:02.240><c> the</c><00:23:02.819><c> widow</c><00:23:03.000><c> of</c><00:23:03.259><c> Zarephath.</c>

00:23:03.779 --> 00:23:08.240
So<00:23:03.900><c> let's</c><00:23:04.059><c> go</c><00:23:04.299><c> to</c><00:23:05.980><c> 1</c><00:23:06.220><c> Kings</c><00:23:06.599><c> 17.</c>

00:23:12.420 --> 00:23:16.880
And<00:23:12.680><c> it's</c><00:23:12.839><c> also</c><00:23:13.099><c> interesting,</c><00:23:13.539><c> just</c><00:23:13.779><c> as</c><00:23:14.119><c> you're</c><00:23:14.359><c> turning</c><00:23:14.579><c> there,</c><00:23:16.380><c> that</c><00:23:16.700><c> who</c>

00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:17.240

00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:26.240
We<00:23:21.799><c> have</c><00:23:22.759><c> the</c><00:23:25.119><c> brokenhearted.</c>

00:23:41.420 --> 00:23:45.380
All<00:23:42.460><c> of</c><00:23:42.680><c> those</c><00:23:42.900><c> things</c><00:23:43.440><c> that</c><00:23:43.859><c> Jesus</c><00:23:44.220><c> quoted</c><00:23:44.579><c> from</c><00:23:44.880><c> in</c><00:23:45.079><c> Isaiah</c>

00:23:48.339 --> 00:23:52.559

00:23:52.859 --> 00:23:54.079
God<00:23:53.099><c> did</c><00:23:53.319><c> it.</c>

00:23:54.180 --> 00:23:59.079
He<00:23:54.440><c> did</c><00:23:54.579><c> it</c><00:23:54.819><c> back</c><00:23:55.059><c> in</c><00:23:55.660><c> 1</c><00:23:55.900><c> Kings</c><00:23:56.259><c> and</c><00:23:56.940><c> in</c><00:23:57.259><c> 2</c><00:23:57.440><c> Kings.</c>

00:24:03.460 --> 00:24:06.819
So<00:24:03.700><c> the</c><00:24:04.480><c> question,</c><00:24:04.839><c> why</c><00:24:05.099><c> take</c><00:24:05.359><c> them</c><00:24:05.519><c> to</c><00:24:05.680><c> 1</c><00:24:05.920><c> Kings</c><00:24:06.200><c> 17?</c>

00:24:06.819 --> 00:24:11.500
The<00:24:07.740><c> first</c><00:24:08.099><c> reason,</c><00:24:08.640><c> I</c><00:24:08.740><c> think,</c><00:24:09.779><c> these</c><00:24:09.980><c> are</c><00:24:10.240><c> uncomfortable</c><00:24:10.980><c> stories.</c>

00:24:11.859 --> 00:24:15.819
I<00:24:11.940><c> wonder</c><00:24:12.279><c> if</c><00:24:12.640><c> Jews</c><00:24:12.880><c> back</c><00:24:13.160><c> then</c><00:24:13.359><c> sat</c><00:24:13.539><c> around</c><00:24:13.819><c> to</c><00:24:13.980><c> do</c><00:24:14.200><c> the</c><00:24:15.460><c> daily</c>

00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:26.380
You<00:24:24.140><c> know,</c><00:24:24.359><c> like</c><00:24:24.500><c> when</c><00:24:24.640><c> we</c><00:24:24.740><c> get</c><00:24:24.880><c> to,</c><00:24:25.420><c> I</c><00:24:25.559><c> think</c><00:24:25.680><c> it's</c><00:24:25.920><c> Ezekiel</c>

00:24:26.380 --> 00:24:28.160
23,<00:24:27.720><c> one</c><00:24:27.880><c> of</c><00:24:27.940><c> those</c>

00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:31.460

00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:35.220
And<00:24:31.799><c> I'm</c><00:24:31.940><c> sure</c><00:24:32.140><c> they</c><00:24:32.319><c> would,</c><00:24:32.519><c> like</c><00:24:32.700><c> this</c><00:24:32.900><c> deals</c><00:24:33.140><c> with</c><00:24:33.460><c> Gentiles</c><00:24:34.180><c> and</c><00:24:34.460><c> God</c><00:24:34.720><c> accepting</c>

00:24:35.220 --> 00:24:36.000
Gentiles.

00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:38.839
I<00:24:36.539><c> don't</c><00:24:36.720><c> think</c><00:24:36.839><c> we</c><00:24:37.000><c> want</c><00:24:37.180><c> our</c><00:24:37.359><c> kids</c><00:24:37.579><c> to</c><00:24:38.180><c> be</c><00:24:38.380><c> reading</c><00:24:38.599><c> this.</c>

00:24:38.859 --> 00:24:40.539
I<00:24:38.980><c> don't</c><00:24:39.200><c> know</c><00:24:39.299><c> how</c><00:24:39.460><c> they</c><00:24:39.579><c> would</c><00:24:39.720><c> have</c><00:24:39.859><c> handled</c><00:24:40.140><c> it.</c>

00:24:40.579 --> 00:24:43.279
It's<00:24:40.839><c> right</c><00:24:41.119><c> there</c><00:24:41.339><c> in</c><00:24:41.460><c> the</c><00:24:41.599><c> Word</c><00:24:41.700><c> of</c><00:24:41.980><c> God.</c>

00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:51.339
I<00:24:44.880><c> think</c><00:24:45.079><c> another</c><00:24:45.440><c> reason</c><00:24:46.140><c> is</c><00:24:49.400><c> the</c><00:24:49.700><c> context</c><00:24:50.140><c> of</c><00:24:50.339><c> the</c><00:24:50.559><c> story.</c>

00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:55.680
So<00:24:51.740><c> here</c><00:24:51.880><c> we</c><00:24:52.019><c> have</c><00:24:52.160><c> the</c><00:24:52.460><c> shepherds,</c><00:24:54.420><c> you</c><00:24:54.420><c> know,</c><00:24:54.779><c> the</c><00:24:55.160><c> king</c><00:24:55.460><c> of</c>

00:24:59.700 --> 00:25:00.240
of<00:24:59.940><c> God.</c>

00:25:00.579 --> 00:25:02.740
And<00:25:00.859><c> Jesus</c><00:25:01.160><c> would</c><00:25:01.339><c> have</c><00:25:01.420><c> been</c><00:25:01.539><c> able</c><00:25:01.700><c> to</c><00:25:01.740><c> say,</c><00:25:02.220><c> hey,</c><00:25:02.539><c> doesn't</c>

00:25:02.740 --> 00:25:04.579
that<00:25:03.059><c> sound</c><00:25:03.400><c> familiar?</c>

00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:08.319
You<00:25:05.440><c> know,</c><00:25:06.240><c> we're</c><00:25:06.440><c> in</c><00:25:06.559><c> a</c><00:25:06.759><c> situation</c><00:25:07.339><c> in</c><00:25:07.579><c> the</c><00:25:07.700><c> first</c><00:25:07.940><c> century</c>

00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:10.460
where<00:25:08.660><c> the</c><00:25:09.420><c> people</c><00:25:09.740><c> of</c><00:25:10.000><c> God</c>

00:25:10.460 --> 00:25:11.779
were<00:25:10.839><c> hunting</c><00:25:11.220><c> Christ.</c>

00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:14.140
As<00:25:12.259><c> we</c><00:25:12.440><c> see</c><00:25:12.539><c> at</c><00:25:12.700><c> the</c><00:25:12.700><c> end</c><00:25:12.859><c> of</c><00:25:13.079><c> the</c><00:25:13.119><c> story,</c><00:25:13.339><c> they</c><00:25:13.519><c> tried</c><00:25:13.680><c> to</c><00:25:13.900><c> throw</c><00:25:14.019><c> him</c>

00:25:15.299 --> 00:25:18.200
And<00:25:15.400><c> so</c><00:25:15.539><c> maybe</c><00:25:15.779><c> that's</c><00:25:16.259><c> a</c><00:25:16.440><c> link</c><00:25:16.519><c> that</c><00:25:16.680><c> was</c><00:25:16.920><c> trying</c><00:25:17.059><c> to</c><00:25:17.200><c> be</c><00:25:17.359><c> made.</c>

00:25:18.539 --> 00:25:21.640
Another<00:25:18.839><c> link</c><00:25:19.119><c> is</c><00:25:19.319><c> that</c><00:25:19.619><c> Elijah</c><00:25:20.119><c> was</c><00:25:20.900><c> revered.</c>

00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:26.559
You<00:25:22.640><c> know,</c><00:25:22.859><c> on</c><00:25:23.079><c> Passover</c><00:25:23.440><c> night,</c><00:25:23.960><c> they</c><00:25:24.079><c> would</c><00:25:24.700><c> keep</c><00:25:25.220><c> a</c><00:25:26.119><c> cup</c><00:25:26.299><c> of</c>

00:25:28.119 --> 00:25:31.059
they<00:25:28.220><c> would</c><00:25:28.420><c> send</c><00:25:28.559><c> their</c><00:25:28.839><c> children</c><00:25:29.259><c> to</c><00:25:30.119><c> open</c><00:25:30.339><c> the</c><00:25:30.579><c> door</c><00:25:30.900><c> in</c>

00:25:31.059 --> 00:25:32.119
hopes<00:25:31.240><c> that</c><00:25:31.480><c> Elijah</c><00:25:31.900><c> would</c>

00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:32.740

00:25:32.740 --> 00:25:35.859
And<00:25:33.240><c> so</c><00:25:33.339><c> here</c><00:25:33.539><c> he</c><00:25:33.660><c> is</c><00:25:33.720><c> saying,</c><00:25:34.059><c> you</c><00:25:34.119><c> know,</c><00:25:34.400><c> this</c><00:25:34.619><c> revered</c><00:25:35.200><c> Elijah,</c><00:25:35.720><c> the</c>

00:25:36.460 --> 00:25:40.019
looking<00:25:36.839><c> for,</c><00:25:38.279><c> look</c><00:25:38.539><c> at</c><00:25:38.700><c> the</c><00:25:38.980><c> example</c><00:25:39.259><c> in</c><00:25:39.480><c> Scripture</c><00:25:39.720><c> of</c><00:25:39.839><c> what</c>

00:25:40.019 --> 00:25:41.519
he<00:25:40.220><c> did</c><00:25:40.359><c> for</c><00:25:40.559><c> the</c><00:25:40.720><c> widow,</c>

00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:50.960
And<00:25:47.660><c> I'm</c><00:25:48.000><c> just</c><00:25:48.319><c> following</c><00:25:48.859><c> God's</c><00:25:49.660><c> directions</c><00:25:50.019><c> as</c><00:25:50.279><c> Elijah</c><00:25:50.700><c> did.</c>

00:25:51.019 --> 00:25:54.579
So<00:25:51.200><c> I</c><00:25:51.259><c> think</c><00:25:51.420><c> that's</c><00:25:51.660><c> why</c><00:25:51.900><c> he's</c><00:25:52.400><c> going</c><00:25:52.759><c> to</c><00:25:53.000><c> these</c><00:25:53.619><c> places.</c>

00:25:57.400 --> 00:26:09.140

If<00:33:25.099><c> we're</c><00:33:25.299><c> going</c><00:33:25.460><c> to</c><00:33:25.660><c> make</c><00:33:26.000><c> the</c><00:33:26.559><c> impossible</c><00:33:27.200><c> possible,</c><00:33:27.720><c> we</c><00:33:27.980><c> have</c><00:33:28.180><c> to</c>

00:33:28.420 --> 00:33:29.319
put<00:33:28.640><c> aside</c><00:33:28.980><c> self.</c>

00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:33.480
She<00:33:29.599><c> had</c><00:33:29.700><c> to</c><00:33:29.900><c> say,</c><00:33:30.019><c> you</c><00:33:30.099><c> know</c><00:33:30.279><c> what,</c><00:33:31.720><c> you're</c><00:33:32.000><c> more</c><00:33:32.279><c> important.</c>

00:33:34.460 --> 00:33:36.839
And<00:33:34.900><c> maybe</c><00:33:35.160><c> that's</c><00:33:35.559><c> something</c><00:33:35.700><c> because</c><00:33:36.119><c> she</c><00:33:36.279><c> was</c><00:33:36.559><c> a</c><00:33:36.660><c> widow,</c>

00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:39.640

00:33:42.900 --> 00:33:45.779
The<00:33:43.420><c> third</c><00:33:43.740><c> thing</c><00:33:43.940><c> I</c><00:33:44.079><c> really</c><00:33:44.339><c> want</c><00:33:44.480><c> to</c><00:33:44.660><c> stress</c><00:33:44.920><c> is</c><00:33:45.099><c> the</c><00:33:45.339><c> power</c>

of<00:33:46.119><c> fellowship.</c>

00:33:47.859 --> 00:33:51.859
I<00:33:48.000><c> think</c><00:33:48.259><c> that,</c><00:33:48.779><c> yes,</c><00:33:49.059><c> she</c><00:33:49.420><c> had</c><00:33:49.599><c> this</c><00:33:50.579><c> bin</c><00:33:50.799><c> of</c><00:33:51.099><c> flour</c><00:33:51.339><c> and</c><00:33:51.539><c> she</c>

fed<00:33:52.099><c> him.</c>

00:33:53.880 --> 00:33:57.019
Or<00:33:54.259><c> perhaps</c><00:33:54.539><c> you</c><00:33:54.660><c> could</c><00:33:54.839><c> say</c><00:33:55.039><c> he</c><00:33:55.259><c> fed</c><00:33:55.519><c> her</c><00:33:55.859><c> because</c><00:33:56.240><c> the</c><00:33:56.819><c> word</c>

00:33:57.019 --> 00:33:59.839

00:33:59.940 --> 00:34:01.960
I<00:34:00.160><c> think</c><00:34:00.319><c> they</c><00:34:00.579><c> filled</c><00:34:00.799><c> each</c><00:34:01.099><c> other.</c>

00:34:02.019 --> 00:34:04.880
Just<00:34:02.259><c> imagine</c><00:34:02.720><c> each</c><00:34:03.140><c> day</c><00:34:03.339><c> they</c><00:34:03.599><c> sat</c><00:34:03.839><c> down</c><00:34:04.299><c> and</c><00:34:04.440><c> they</c><00:34:04.599><c> had</c><00:34:04.740><c> a</c>

00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:06.039
meal<00:34:05.059><c> together.</c>

00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:09.039
And<00:34:06.559><c> imagine</c><00:34:06.960><c> the</c><00:34:07.180><c> things</c><00:34:07.400><c> he</c><00:34:07.680><c> shared</c><00:34:07.940><c> with</c><00:34:08.139><c> her.</c>

00:34:09.300 --> 00:34:10.900
They<00:34:09.420><c> didn't</c><00:34:09.639><c> say,</c><00:34:09.980><c> okay,</c><00:34:10.320><c> you're</c><00:34:10.519><c> a</c><00:34:10.639><c> Gentile.</c>

00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:11.800
You<00:34:11.079><c> sit</c><00:34:11.219><c> in</c><00:34:11.380><c> that</c><00:34:11.579><c> room.</c>

00:34:19.679 --> 00:34:22.239
Maybe<00:34:20.079><c> she</c><00:34:20.280><c> would</c><00:34:20.440><c> have</c><00:34:20.579><c> said,</c><00:34:20.780><c> tell</c><00:34:20.920><c> me</c><00:34:21.079><c> about</c><00:34:21.239><c> your</c><00:34:21.480><c> God.</c>

Why<00:34:23.699><c> is</c><00:34:23.880><c> this</c><00:34:24.019><c> happening?</c>

00:34:25.300 --> 00:34:28.539
Tell<00:34:25.440><c> me</c><00:34:25.639><c> about,</c><00:34:26.440><c> you</c><00:34:26.679><c> know,</c><00:34:26.880><c> obviously</c><00:34:27.199><c> there's</c><00:34:27.480><c> some</c><00:34:27.659><c> miracle</c><00:34:28.000><c> happening</c><00:34:28.340><c> here.</c>

00:34:29.559 --> 00:34:32.619
And<00:34:29.800><c> they</c><00:34:29.940><c> would</c><00:34:30.079><c> have</c><00:34:30.300><c> talked</c><00:34:30.699><c> and</c><00:34:31.559><c> the</c><00:34:31.880><c> flour</c><00:34:32.179><c> would</c><00:34:32.400><c> have</c>

00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:52.440
And<00:35:50.320><c> look</c><00:35:50.480><c> at</c><00:35:50.679><c> what</c><00:35:50.900><c> fellowship</c><00:35:51.380><c> did.</c>

00:35:54.340 --> 00:35:56.840
Who<00:35:54.860><c> knows</c><00:35:55.179><c> what</c><00:35:55.519><c> it</c><00:35:55.920><c> would</c><00:35:56.039><c> have</c><00:35:56.260><c> started</c><00:35:56.480><c> out</c><00:35:56.679><c> with?</c>

00:35:56.900 --> 00:35:58.820
Maybe<00:35:57.099><c> there</c><00:35:57.239><c> was</c><00:35:57.400><c> hatred</c><00:35:57.840><c> between</c><00:35:58.260><c> these</c><00:35:58.559><c> two.</c>

00:35:58.820 --> 00:36:03.360

skepticism,<00:36:04.880><c> distrust.</c>

00:36:06.840 --> 00:36:10.400
And<00:36:07.019><c> in</c><00:36:07.260><c> 1</c><00:36:07.440><c> Kings</c><00:36:08.019><c> 17,</c><00:36:08.719><c> we</c><00:36:08.920><c> see</c><00:36:09.079><c> that</c><00:36:09.280><c> it</c><00:36:09.500><c> turned</c><00:36:09.659><c> to</c><00:36:09.900><c> love.</c>

00:36:10.679 --> 00:36:12.260
It<00:36:10.679><c> turned</c><00:36:10.960><c> to</c><00:36:11.260><c> trust.</c>

00:36:12.659 --> 00:36:15.559
1<00:36:12.780><c> Kings</c><00:36:13.059><c> 17,</c><00:36:13.840><c> verse</c><00:36:14.019><c> 20.</c>

00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:19.159
Actually,<00:36:17.940><c> let's</c><00:36:18.159><c> start</c><00:36:18.320><c> verse</c><00:36:18.519><c> 17.</c>

00:36:19.480 --> 00:36:22.519
Now<00:36:19.639><c> it</c><00:36:19.780><c> happened</c><00:36:20.099><c> after</c><00:36:20.380><c> these</c><00:36:20.659><c> things</c><00:36:20.940><c> that</c><00:36:21.099><c> the</c><00:36:21.239><c> son</c><00:36:21.460><c> of</c>

00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:25.340
the<00:36:23.079><c> woman</c><00:36:23.400><c> who</c><00:36:23.760><c> owned</c><00:36:23.920><c> the</c><00:36:24.119><c> house</c><00:36:24.340><c> became</c><00:36:24.739><c> sick.</c>

00:36:25.340 --> 00:36:29.579
And<00:36:25.940><c> his</c><00:36:26.079><c> sickness</c><00:36:26.400><c> was</c><00:36:26.739><c> so</c><00:36:27.079><c> serious</c><00:36:27.420><c> that</c><00:36:27.639><c> there</c><00:36:27.800><c> was</c><00:36:27.980><c> no</c><00:36:28.260><c> breath</c><00:36:28.599><c> left</c><00:36:28.920><c> in</c><00:36:29.139><c> him.</c>

00:36:29.900 --> 00:36:32.659
So<00:36:30.099><c> she</c><00:36:30.320><c> said</c><00:36:30.500><c> to</c><00:36:30.699><c> Elijah,</c><00:36:31.320><c> what</c><00:36:31.460><c> do</c><00:36:31.639><c> I</c><00:36:31.780><c> have</c><00:36:31.980><c> to</c><00:36:32.119><c> do</c><00:36:32.179><c> with</c><00:36:32.440><c> you,</c>

00:36:32.800 --> 00:36:33.659
O<00:36:32.920><c> man</c><00:36:33.079><c> of</c><00:36:33.320><c> God?</c>

00:36:34.159 --> 00:36:37.019
Have<00:36:34.320><c> you</c><00:36:34.559><c> come</c><00:36:34.800><c> to</c><00:36:34.960><c> me</c><00:36:35.159><c> to</c><00:36:35.320><c> bring</c><00:36:35.519><c> my</c><00:36:35.820><c> sin</c><00:36:36.019><c> to</c><00:36:36.219><c> remembrance</c><00:36:36.579><c> and</c><00:36:36.760><c> to</c>

00:36:37.019 --> 00:36:38.320
kill<00:36:37.139><c> my</c><00:36:37.460><c> son?</c>

00:36:39.260 --> 00:36:40.980
And<00:36:39.559><c> he</c><00:36:39.719><c> said</c><00:36:39.880><c> to</c><00:36:39.980><c> her,</c><00:36:40.280><c> give</c><00:36:40.360><c> me</c><00:36:40.539><c> your</c><00:36:40.780><c> son.</c>

00:36:41.019 --> 00:36:44.159
So<00:36:41.139><c> he</c><00:36:41.380><c> took</c><00:36:41.639><c> him</c><00:36:41.820><c> out</c><00:36:42.099><c> of</c><00:36:42.280><c> her</c><00:36:42.539><c> arms</c><00:36:42.820><c> and</c><00:36:43.219><c> carried</c><00:36:43.519><c> him</c><00:36:43.760><c> to</c><00:36:43.960><c> the</c>

00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:46.199
upper<00:36:44.480><c> room</c><00:36:44.739><c> where</c><00:36:44.960><c> he</c><00:36:45.179><c> was</c><00:36:45.619><c> staying</c>

00:36:46.199 --> 00:36:47.679
and<00:36:46.460><c> laid</c><00:36:46.679><c> him</c><00:36:46.840><c> on</c><00:36:46.960><c> his</c><00:36:47.159><c> own</c><00:36:47.380><c> bed.</c>

00:36:47.860 --> 00:36:50.099
And<00:36:48.119><c> I</c><00:36:48.219><c> don't</c><00:36:48.400><c> think</c><00:36:48.500><c> he's</c><00:36:48.760><c> doing</c><00:36:49.000><c> this</c><00:36:49.239><c> in</c><00:36:49.380><c> a</c><00:36:49.619><c> cold</c><00:36:49.840><c> way.</c>

Okay,<00:36:50.420><c> give</c><00:36:50.559><c> me</c><00:36:50.679><c> your</c><00:36:50.880><c> son.</c>

00:36:51.639 --> 00:36:54.039
I<00:36:52.079><c> think</c><00:36:52.380><c> he</c><00:36:52.619><c> must</c><00:36:52.840><c> have</c><00:36:52.960><c> had</c><00:36:53.139><c> tears</c><00:36:53.440><c> in</c><00:36:53.619><c> his</c><00:36:53.820><c> eyes.</c>

00:36:54.039 --> 00:36:55.460
He<00:36:54.179><c> would</c><00:36:54.320><c> have</c><00:36:54.500><c> known</c><00:36:54.800><c> these</c><00:36:55.079><c> people.</c>

00:36:55.460 --> 00:36:57.159
They<00:36:55.820><c> ate</c><00:36:56.139><c> together.</c>

00:36:57.320 --> 00:37:01.280
They<00:36:57.639><c> shared</c><00:36:57.840><c> their</c><00:36:58.119><c> lives</c><00:36:58.460><c> together</c><00:36:58.920><c> for</c><00:36:59.280><c> a</c><00:36:59.860><c> few</c><00:37:00.159><c> years.</c>

00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:04.480
And<00:37:02.239><c> I'm</c><00:37:02.360><c> sure</c><00:37:02.519><c> that</c><00:37:02.780><c> boy</c><00:37:02.900><c> would</c><00:37:03.079><c> have</c><00:37:03.239><c> meant</c><00:37:03.440><c> something</c><00:37:03.820><c> to</c><00:37:04.139><c> Elijah.</c>

00:37:04.619 --> 00:37:08.380
And<00:37:04.699><c> he</c><00:37:04.820><c> takes</c><00:37:05.119><c> him,</c><00:37:06.079><c> then</c><00:37:06.219><c> he</c><00:37:06.599><c> cried</c><00:37:06.860><c> out</c><00:37:07.119><c> to</c><00:37:07.320><c> the</c><00:37:07.519><c> Lord</c><00:37:07.679><c> and</c><00:37:07.840><c> said,</c><00:37:08.199><c> O</c>

00:37:08.380 --> 00:37:09.940
Lord<00:37:08.719><c> my</c><00:37:09.019><c> God,</c>

00:37:14.719 --> 00:37:17.500
And<00:37:15.019><c> he</c><00:37:15.340><c> stretched</c><00:37:15.599><c> himself</c><00:37:16.019><c> out</c><00:37:16.239><c> on</c><00:37:16.380><c> the</c><00:37:16.559><c> child</c><00:37:16.760><c> three</c><00:37:17.119><c> times</c>

00:37:17.500 --> 00:37:19.559
and<00:37:17.800><c> cried</c><00:37:18.119><c> out</c><00:37:18.539><c> to</c><00:37:18.760><c> the</c><00:37:18.980><c> Lord</c><00:37:19.159><c> and</c><00:37:19.380><c> said,</c>

00:37:19.940 --> 00:37:23.519
O<00:37:20.119><c> Lord</c><00:37:20.380><c> my</c><00:37:20.659><c> God,</c><00:37:20.900><c> I</c><00:37:21.139><c> pray,</c><00:37:21.400><c> let</c><00:37:21.619><c> this</c><00:37:21.920><c> child's</c><00:37:22.460><c> soul</c><00:37:22.519><c> come</c><00:37:22.800><c> back</c><00:37:23.099><c> to</c><00:37:23.239><c> him.</c>

00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:27.159
You<00:37:24.400><c> know,</c><00:37:25.199><c> the</c><00:37:25.320><c> passion</c><00:37:25.820><c> in</c><00:37:25.980><c> what</c><00:37:26.139><c> he</c><00:37:26.260><c> was</c><00:37:26.480><c> saying,</c><00:37:26.699><c> the</c><00:37:26.920><c> love</c>

00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:04.780
and<00:38:01.139><c> that</c><00:38:01.360><c> the</c><00:38:01.599><c> word</c><00:38:01.800><c> of</c><00:38:02.019><c> the</c><00:38:02.239><c> Lord</c><00:38:02.460><c> in</c><00:38:02.699><c> your</c><00:38:02.960><c> mouth</c><00:38:03.239><c> is</c><00:38:03.559><c> the</c><00:38:03.860><c> truth.</c>

00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:11.699
So<00:38:07.239><c> the</c><00:38:07.460><c> impossible</c><00:38:08.099><c> became</c><00:38:08.500><c> possible</c><00:38:09.559><c> because</c><00:38:11.340><c> they</c><00:38:11.559><c> went</c>

00:38:11.699 --> 00:38:13.039
outside<00:38:12.099><c> their</c><00:38:12.340><c> comfort</c><00:38:12.679><c> zone.</c>

00:38:13.179 --> 00:38:14.980
They<00:38:13.579><c> put</c><00:38:13.860><c> aside</c><00:38:14.300><c> self.</c>

00:38:15.460 --> 00:38:18.500
There<00:38:15.559><c> was</c><00:38:15.659><c> the</c><00:38:15.960><c> power</c><00:38:16.360><c> of</c><00:38:16.599><c> just</c><00:38:16.900><c> sitting</c><00:38:17.099><c> down</c><00:38:17.420><c> with</c><00:38:17.679><c> one</c><00:38:17.860><c> another</c><00:38:18.119><c> day</c>

00:38:18.500 --> 00:38:19.199
after<00:38:18.920><c> day,</c>

00:38:19.199 --> 00:38:22.099
sharing<00:38:20.139><c> meals,</c><00:38:20.980><c> talking.</c>

00:38:22.900 --> 00:38:26.000
And<00:38:23.199><c> then</c><00:38:23.320><c> it</c><00:38:23.440><c> took</c><00:38:23.619><c> the</c><00:38:23.940><c> death</c><00:38:24.340><c> and</c><00:38:24.719><c> the</c><00:38:24.960><c> resurrection</c><00:38:25.440><c> of</c><00:38:25.739><c> an</c>

only<00:38:26.420><c> son</c><00:38:26.840><c> to</c><00:38:27.559><c> fully</c><00:38:27.980><c> cement</c><00:38:28.679><c> her</c><00:38:29.300><c> belief,</c><00:38:29.599><c> her</c><00:38:29.960><c> faith.</c>

00:38:31.519 --> 00:38:32.960
It<00:38:31.860><c> fully</c><00:38:32.159><c> convinced</c><00:38:32.699><c> her.</c>

00:38:33.119 --> 00:38:37.380
It<00:38:33.440><c> was</c><00:38:33.860><c> the</c><00:38:34.239><c> death</c><00:38:34.480><c> and</c><00:38:34.780><c> resurrection</c><00:38:35.280><c> of</c><00:38:35.440><c> an</c><00:38:35.699><c> only</c><00:38:36.039><c> son</c><00:38:36.480><c> that</c>

00:38:37.380 --> 00:38:39.139
convinced<00:38:37.820><c> the</c><00:38:38.099><c> disciples.</c>

00:38:39.360 --> 00:38:42.500
When<00:38:39.500><c> they</c><00:38:39.739><c> saw</c><00:38:40.019><c> Christ</c><00:38:40.380><c> raised,</c><00:38:41.000><c> then</c><00:38:41.340><c> they</c><00:38:41.639><c> knew.</c>

00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:48.690
It<00:38:44.139><c> convinced</c><00:38:44.860><c> a</c><00:38:45.659><c> Gentile</c><00:38:46.199><c> woman,</c><00:38:47.099><c> a</c><00:38:47.340><c> widow</c><00:38:47.579><c> in</c><00:38:47.800><c> Zarephath.</c>

00:38:49.320 --> 00:38:51.500
Would<00:38:49.480><c> it</c><00:38:49.760><c> convince</c><00:38:50.159><c> the</c><00:38:50.480><c> Pharisees?</c>

00:38:51.880 --> 00:38:53.650
Does<00:38:52.119><c> it</c><00:38:52.360><c> convince</c><00:38:52.760><c> us?</c>

00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:11.019
So<00:39:05.460><c> just</c><00:39:05.800><c> to</c><00:39:06.000><c> recap</c><00:39:06.619><c> this</c><00:39:08.440><c> class</c><00:39:09.039><c> and</c><00:39:09.380><c> to</c><00:39:09.539><c> bring</c><00:39:09.639><c> it</c><00:39:09.820><c> to</c><00:39:10.039><c> a</c><00:39:10.139><c> close,</c>

00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:14.800
Jesus<00:39:12.440><c> instituted</c><00:39:12.880><c> a</c><00:39:13.260><c> new</c><00:39:13.519><c> seating</c><00:39:13.800><c> plan.</c>

00:39:15.559 --> 00:39:17.739
He<00:39:15.739><c> brought</c><00:39:15.980><c> forward</c><00:39:16.360><c> those</c><00:39:16.619><c> who</c><00:39:16.780><c> were</c><00:39:17.000><c> needy,</c><00:39:17.360><c> those</c><00:39:17.539><c> who</c>

00:39:17.739 --> 00:39:19.559
were<00:39:17.980><c> oppressed,</c><00:39:18.579><c> those</c><00:39:18.780><c> who</c><00:39:18.960><c> were</c><00:39:19.159><c> blind.</c>

00:39:19.659 --> 00:39:22.760
And<00:39:19.760><c> he</c><00:39:19.840><c> said,</c><00:39:20.199><c> this</c><00:39:20.280><c> is</c><00:39:20.500><c> going</c><00:39:20.659><c> to</c><00:39:20.800><c> be</c><00:39:20.920><c> the</c><00:39:21.099><c> focus</c><00:39:21.400><c> of</c><00:39:21.619><c> my</c><00:39:21.840><c> ministry.</c>

00:39:23.039 --> 00:39:26.340
And<00:39:23.219><c> not</c><00:39:23.380><c> only</c><00:39:23.599><c> that,</c><00:39:24.119><c> this</c><00:39:24.400><c> is</c><00:39:24.599><c> what</c><00:39:24.940><c> God</c><00:39:25.300><c> has</c><00:39:25.659><c> asked</c><00:39:25.920><c> me</c><00:39:26.119><c> to</c><00:39:26.239><c> do.</c>

00:39:26.380 --> 00:39:28.519
He<00:39:26.739><c> sent</c><00:39:27.039><c> me</c><00:39:27.300><c> to</c><00:39:27.480><c> do</c><00:39:27.659><c> this.</c>

00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:31.239
And<00:39:29.119><c> I</c><00:39:29.159><c> think</c><00:39:29.280><c> he's</c><00:39:29.480><c> asking</c><00:39:29.820><c> the</c><00:39:30.019><c> people,</c><00:39:30.300><c> get</c><00:39:30.400><c> on</c><00:39:30.679><c> board</c><00:39:30.840><c> with</c><00:39:31.079><c> me.</c>

00:39:31.260 --> 00:39:33.219
Let's<00:39:31.619><c> do</c><00:39:31.880><c> this</c><00:39:32.199><c> together.</c>

00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:38.960
Secondly,<00:39:36.360><c> he</c><00:39:36.579><c> says,</c><00:39:36.840><c> this</c><00:39:37.300><c> day</c><00:39:37.519><c> we</c><00:39:37.780><c> have</c><00:39:37.980><c> to</c><00:39:38.179><c> make</c><00:39:38.360><c> a</c><00:39:38.579><c> decision.</c>

00:39:38.960 --> 00:39:41.780
And<00:39:39.500><c> we</c><00:39:39.699><c> have</c><00:39:39.880><c> to</c><00:39:40.039><c> make</c><00:39:40.219><c> a</c><00:39:40.360><c> decision</c><00:39:40.659><c> as</c><00:39:40.940><c> brothers</c><00:39:41.239><c> and</c><00:39:41.519><c> sisters.</c>

00:39:41.820 --> 00:39:45.320
Are<00:39:41.960><c> we</c><00:39:42.139><c> going</c><00:39:42.300><c> to</c><00:39:42.579><c> commit</c><00:39:42.960><c> not</c><00:39:44.000><c> just</c><00:39:44.219><c> to</c><00:39:44.440><c> the</c><00:39:44.800><c> brothers</c><00:39:45.039><c> and</c>

00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:46.260
sisters<00:39:45.619><c> who</c><00:39:45.820><c> are</c><00:39:46.099><c> strong?</c>

00:39:46.340 --> 00:39:49.420
I<00:39:46.340><c> mean,</c><00:39:46.619><c> there's</c><00:39:47.460><c> brothers</c><00:39:47.780><c> and</c><00:39:48.019><c> sisters</c><00:39:48.239><c> I</c><00:39:48.440><c> know</c><00:39:48.679><c> that</c><00:39:48.980><c> I</c>

00:39:49.420 --> 00:39:50.460
enjoy<00:39:49.800><c> having</c><00:39:50.099><c> over</c>

00:39:50.460 --> 00:39:52.199

00:39:52.219 --> 00:39:55.860
But<00:39:52.380><c> there's</c><00:39:52.659><c> sometimes</c><00:39:52.980><c> a</c><00:39:53.199><c> brother</c><00:39:53.340><c> and</c><00:39:53.539><c> sister</c><00:39:53.739><c> that</c><00:39:53.900><c> we</c><00:39:54.059><c> don't</c><00:39:54.619><c> necessarily</c><00:39:55.099><c> see</c><00:39:55.420><c> eye</c><00:39:55.659><c> to</c><00:39:55.679><c> eye</c>

00:39:55.860 --> 00:39:59.539

00:39:59.960 --> 00:40:03.039
You<00:40:00.079><c> know,</c><00:40:00.239><c> is</c><00:40:00.300><c> my</c><00:40:00.539><c> commitment</c><00:40:00.960><c> going</c><00:40:01.239><c> to</c><00:40:01.420><c> be</c><00:40:01.559><c> to</c><00:40:01.659><c> them</c><00:40:01.880><c> as</c><00:40:02.159><c> well?</c>

00:40:03.780 --> 00:40:05.179
We<00:40:04.159><c> have</c><00:40:04.360><c> a</c><00:40:04.519><c> decision</c><00:40:04.800><c> to</c><00:40:05.019><c> make.</c>

00:40:05.300 --> 00:40:07.139
It's<00:40:05.500><c> life</c><00:40:06.039><c> versus</c><00:40:06.539><c> death.</c>

00:40:07.139 --> 00:40:09.559
Are<00:40:07.780><c> we</c><00:40:08.059><c> with</c><00:40:08.340><c> Christ?</c>

00:40:11.039 --> 00:40:14.360
And<00:40:11.280><c> finally,</c><00:40:11.519><c> if</c><00:40:11.639><c> we're</c><00:40:11.880><c> going</c><00:40:12.079><c> to</c><00:40:12.320><c> make</c><00:40:12.519><c> the</c><00:40:12.820><c> impossible</c><00:40:13.619><c> possible,</c>

00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:20.519
We<00:40:17.619><c> have</c><00:40:17.880><c> to</c><00:40:18.420><c> go</c><00:40:18.659><c> outside</c><00:40:19.059><c> our</c><00:40:19.340><c> comfort</c><00:40:19.599><c> zone.</c>
