And<00:18:20.960><c> they</c><00:18:21.220><c> see</c><00:18:21.539><c> in</c><00:18:21.740><c> the</c><00:18:21.960><c> ring</c><00:18:22.259><c> of</c><00:18:22.519><c> that</c><00:18:22.779><c> voice,</c><00:18:23.299><c> brothers</c><00:18:23.359><c> and</c><00:18:23.640><c> sisters,</c>

00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:26.319
something<00:18:25.019><c> awfully</c><00:18:25.779><c> familiar.</c>

00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:29.279
Now<00:18:26.960><c> you</c><00:18:27.079><c> come</c><00:18:27.319><c> to</c><00:18:27.460><c> the</c><00:18:27.599><c> first</c><00:18:27.859><c> of</c><00:18:28.099><c> John,</c><00:18:28.319><c> Chapter</c><00:18:28.680><c> 2.</c>

00:18:29.539 --> 00:18:31.119
It's<00:18:29.599><c> more</c><00:18:29.819><c> than</c><00:18:30.000><c> just</c><00:18:30.299><c> hearing.</c>

00:18:31.500 --> 00:18:35.000
It's<00:18:31.819><c> recognizing</c><00:18:32.400><c> the</c><00:18:32.799><c> tone</c><00:18:33.099><c> and</c><00:18:33.299><c> the</c><00:18:33.539><c> tenor</c><00:18:33.960><c> of</c><00:18:34.240><c> what</c><00:18:34.779><c> the</c>

00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:36.299
words<00:18:35.200><c> are</c><00:18:35.519><c> saying.</c>

00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:42.119
Now<00:18:39.099><c> here</c><00:18:39.240><c> is</c><00:18:39.400><c> John,</c><00:18:39.740><c> of</c><00:18:39.900><c> course,</c><00:18:40.180><c> who</c><00:18:40.380><c> wrote</c><00:18:40.660><c> the</c><00:18:41.400><c> Gospel</c><00:18:41.779><c> record.</c>

00:18:42.140 --> 00:18:45.160
Here<00:18:42.299><c> he</c><00:18:42.400><c> is</c><00:18:42.539><c> again,</c><00:18:42.839><c> and</c><00:18:43.000><c> he's</c><00:18:43.240><c> telling</c><00:18:43.359><c> us</c><00:18:43.539><c> about</c><00:18:43.799><c> this</c><00:18:44.079><c> voice.</c>

00:18:46.279 --> 00:18:50.000
And<00:18:46.839><c> he</c><00:18:47.000><c> says</c><00:18:47.220><c> in</c><00:18:47.380><c> the</c><00:18:47.519><c> first</c><00:18:47.720><c> epistle,</c><00:18:48.079><c> Chapter</c><00:18:48.420><c> 2,</c><00:18:48.980><c> in</c><00:18:49.099><c> verses</c><00:18:49.420><c> 26</c>

00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:51.519
and<00:18:50.220><c> 27,</c>

00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:55.900
he<00:18:53.000><c> said,</c><00:18:53.140><c> These</c><00:18:53.440><c> things</c><00:18:53.819><c> have</c><00:18:54.019><c> I</c><00:18:54.200><c> written</c><00:18:54.420><c> unto</c><00:18:54.700><c> you</c><00:18:55.000><c> concerning</c><00:18:55.519><c> them</c>

00:18:55.900 --> 00:18:57.579
that<00:18:56.440><c> seduce</c><00:18:56.960><c> you,</c>

00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:00.079
those<00:18:58.220><c> who</c><00:18:58.400><c> would</c><00:18:58.640><c> draw</c><00:18:58.839><c> you</c><00:18:59.140><c> away.</c>

00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:04.240
But,<00:19:00.740><c> he</c><00:19:00.960><c> says,</c><00:19:02.099><c> the</c><00:19:02.339><c> anointing</c><00:19:02.819><c> which</c><00:19:03.099><c> ye</c><00:19:03.319><c> have</c><00:19:03.539><c> received</c><00:19:04.039><c> of</c>

00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:05.960
him<00:19:04.640><c> abideth</c><00:19:05.259><c> in</c><00:19:05.539><c> you,</c>

00:19:06.220 --> 00:19:09.180
and<00:19:06.480><c> ye</c><00:19:06.700><c> need</c><00:19:06.940><c> not</c><00:19:07.440><c> that</c><00:19:07.700><c> any</c><00:19:07.900><c> man</c><00:19:08.160><c> teach</c><00:19:08.500><c> you.</c>

00:19:09.180 --> 00:19:13.359
But<00:19:10.019><c> as</c><00:19:10.279><c> the</c><00:19:10.619><c> same</c><00:19:11.119><c> anointing</c><00:19:11.759><c> teacheth</c><00:19:12.220><c> you</c><00:19:12.519><c> of</c><00:19:12.759><c> all</c><00:19:13.059><c> things,</c>

00:19:13.619 --> 00:19:14.400
and<00:19:13.619><c> is</c><00:19:13.900><c> truth,</c>

00:19:14.779 --> 00:19:18.920
and<00:19:14.900><c> is</c><00:19:15.140><c> no</c><00:19:15.400><c> lie,</c><00:19:16.819><c> and</c><00:19:17.000><c> even</c><00:19:17.240><c> as</c><00:19:17.599><c> it</c><00:19:17.599><c> hath</c><00:19:17.680><c> been</c><00:19:18.059><c> taught</c><00:19:18.279><c> you,</c>

00:19:19.059 --> 00:19:20.839
ye<00:19:19.319><c> shall</c><00:19:19.480><c> abide</c><00:19:20.099><c> in</c><00:19:20.559><c> him.</c>

00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:25.180
So<00:19:21.319><c> John</c><00:19:21.599><c> says,</c><00:19:22.559><c> there</c><00:19:22.640><c> would</c><00:19:22.799><c> be</c><00:19:23.019><c> those</c><00:19:23.380><c> who</c><00:19:23.680><c> would</c><00:19:24.420><c> seduce</c><00:19:24.900><c> you.</c>

00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:28.299
And<00:19:25.359><c> they</c><00:19:25.500><c> would</c><00:19:25.700><c> succeed,</c><00:19:26.380><c> brothers</c><00:19:26.519><c> and</c><00:19:26.799><c> sisters,</c><00:19:27.519><c> but</c><00:19:27.960><c> for</c>

00:19:28.299 --> 00:19:29.619
this<00:19:28.660><c> fact,</c>

00:19:30.019 --> 00:19:33.440
that<00:19:30.299><c> these</c><00:19:30.660><c> brothers</c><00:19:30.980><c> and</c><00:19:31.240><c> sisters,</c><00:19:31.779><c> like</c><00:19:32.079><c> ourselves,</c><00:19:33.240><c> have</c>

00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:35.559
received<00:19:34.039><c> an</c><00:19:34.480><c> anointing.</c>

00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:41.180
Now,<00:19:37.680><c> there's</c><00:19:37.920><c> no</c><00:19:38.359><c> question</c><00:19:38.819><c> of</c><00:19:39.099><c> what</c><00:19:39.279><c> the</c><00:19:39.500><c> anointing</c><00:19:39.940><c> was</c><00:19:40.220><c> or</c><00:19:40.680><c> symbolized.</c>

00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:42.900
It's<00:19:41.519><c> awfully</c><00:19:41.859><c> simple.</c>

00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:46.420
They<00:19:43.119><c> simply</c><00:19:43.559><c> poured</c><00:19:43.920><c> oil,</c><00:19:44.779><c> this</c><00:19:45.019><c> holy</c><00:19:45.400><c> anointing</c><00:19:45.880><c> oil,</c><00:19:46.259><c> upon</c>

00:19:46.420 --> 00:19:47.420
the<00:19:46.640><c> head</c><00:19:46.740><c> of</c><00:19:46.920><c> the</c><00:19:47.019><c> high</c><00:19:47.259><c> priest.</c>

00:19:47.460 --> 00:19:49.119
What<00:19:47.660><c> did</c><00:19:47.819><c> that</c><00:19:48.099><c> symbolize?</c>

00:19:49.140 --> 00:19:53.880
Well,<00:19:49.380><c> he</c><00:19:49.500><c> was</c><00:19:49.660><c> a</c><00:19:50.420><c> divine</c><00:19:50.960><c> mixture</c><00:19:51.519><c> which</c><00:19:52.480><c> no</c><00:19:52.720><c> one</c><00:19:52.819><c> could</c><00:19:53.160><c> ever</c><00:19:53.539><c> imitate.</c>

00:19:53.980 --> 00:19:56.000
On<00:19:54.059><c> the</c><00:19:54.259><c> pain</c><00:19:54.380><c> of</c><00:19:54.680><c> death</c><00:19:54.859><c> they</c><00:19:54.980><c> would</c><00:19:55.180><c> imitate</c><00:19:55.500><c> it.</c>

00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:59.900
All<00:19:56.880><c> the</c><00:19:57.140><c> wonderful</c><00:19:57.619><c> ingredients</c><00:19:58.200><c> that</c><00:19:58.359><c> went</c><00:19:58.440><c> into</c><00:19:58.619><c> that</c><00:19:58.900><c> perfume,</c>

00:20:00.140 --> 00:20:02.400
and<00:20:00.319><c> it</c><00:20:00.420><c> went</c><00:20:00.559><c> upon</c><00:20:00.839><c> the</c><00:20:01.220><c> head</c><00:20:01.420><c> of</c><00:20:01.619><c> the</c><00:20:01.720><c> high</c><00:20:02.019><c> priest.</c>

00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:06.079
It<00:20:02.740><c> was</c><00:20:03.019><c> nothing</c><00:20:03.319><c> more</c><00:20:03.859><c> or</c><00:20:04.079><c> less,</c><00:20:04.539><c> brothers</c><00:20:04.599><c> and</c><00:20:04.900><c> sisters,</c><00:20:05.180><c> than</c><00:20:05.359><c> the</c><00:20:05.680><c> word</c><00:20:05.900><c> of</c>

00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:15.119
woven<00:20:12.680><c> together,</c><00:20:13.240><c> mixed</c><00:20:13.559><c> together,</c><00:20:13.940><c> to</c><00:20:14.140><c> make</c><00:20:14.299><c> the</c><00:20:14.599><c> wisdom</c><00:20:14.900><c> of</c>

00:20:17.539 --> 00:20:20.339
And<00:20:17.680><c> it</c><00:20:17.740><c> went</c><00:20:17.880><c> upon</c><00:20:18.119><c> the</c><00:20:18.460><c> head,</c><00:20:19.299><c> and</c><00:20:19.420><c> it</c><00:20:19.599><c> anointed</c><00:20:19.859><c> the</c><00:20:20.119><c> head.</c>

00:20:20.740 --> 00:20:24.339
And<00:20:20.900><c> that</c><00:20:21.339><c> perfume</c><00:20:21.819><c> that</c><00:20:22.059><c> the</c><00:20:22.299><c> apotheory</c><00:20:23.039><c> was</c><00:20:23.640><c> commanded</c><00:20:24.099><c> to</c>

brothers<00:20:26.019><c> and</c><00:20:26.319><c> sisters,</c><00:20:26.619><c> you</c><00:20:26.819><c> could</c><00:20:27.019><c> be</c><00:20:27.559><c> blindfolded</c><00:20:28.359><c> and</c>

00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:30.019
you'd<00:20:28.720><c> know</c><00:20:28.819><c> what</c><00:20:28.940><c> that</c><00:20:29.180><c> was.</c>

00:20:30.900 --> 00:20:35.400
If<00:20:31.339><c> you</c><00:20:31.619><c> walked</c><00:20:31.859><c> into</c><00:20:32.039><c> a</c><00:20:32.259><c> room</c><00:20:32.619><c> where</c><00:20:33.859><c> there</c><00:20:34.000><c> were</c><00:20:34.180><c> several</c><00:20:34.720><c> pots,</c><00:20:35.400><c> as</c>

you'd<00:20:38.200><c> know</c><00:20:38.380><c> exactly</c><00:20:39.180><c> which</c><00:20:39.480><c> one</c><00:20:39.640><c> to</c><00:20:39.819><c> go</c><00:20:39.980><c> to.</c>

00:20:40.220 --> 00:20:42.099
Because<00:20:40.319><c> that</c><00:20:40.559><c> one,</c><00:20:40.880><c> there'd</c><00:20:40.980><c> be</c><00:20:41.299><c> nothing</c><00:20:41.660><c> that</c><00:20:41.859><c> would</c><00:20:41.980><c> smell</c>

00:20:42.099 --> 00:20:43.259
like<00:20:42.400><c> that.</c>

00:20:43.900 --> 00:20:47.140

00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:44.380
He<00:24:42.359><c> knows</c><00:24:42.660><c> them</c><00:24:42.839><c> all</c><00:24:43.079><c> by</c><00:24:43.400><c> name.</c>

00:24:46.039 --> 00:24:48.400
You<00:24:46.220><c> look</c><00:24:46.299><c> what</c><00:24:46.559><c> happened</c><00:24:46.740><c> here.</c>

00:24:54.299 --> 00:24:57.160
Look<00:24:54.819><c> what</c><00:24:54.960><c> the</c><00:24:55.140><c> apostles</c><00:24:55.440><c> said</c><00:24:55.740><c> about</c><00:24:56.019><c> this</c><00:24:56.279><c> principle</c><00:24:56.779><c> of</c>

being<00:24:57.440><c> known</c><00:24:57.640><c> of</c><00:24:57.859><c> God.</c>

00:25:01.140 --> 00:25:04.160
This<00:25:01.240><c> is</c><00:25:01.279><c> what</c><00:25:01.400><c> the</c><00:25:01.660><c> shepherd</c><00:25:01.839><c> does.</c><00:25:02.079><c> He</c><00:25:02.200><c> knows</c><00:25:02.539><c> his</c><00:25:02.799><c> sheep</c><00:25:02.900><c> by</c><00:25:03.200><c> name.</c>

00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:07.099
So<00:25:05.000><c> Paul</c><00:25:05.299><c> says</c><00:25:05.559><c> in</c><00:25:05.740><c> 1</c><00:25:05.940><c> Corinthians</c><00:25:06.299><c> 8,</c><00:25:06.660><c> verse</c><00:25:06.819><c> 2,</c>

00:25:07.299 --> 00:25:10.920
If<00:25:07.380><c> any</c><00:25:07.599><c> man</c><00:25:07.859><c> think</c><00:25:08.140><c> that</c><00:25:08.299><c> he</c><00:25:08.559><c> knoweth</c><00:25:08.880><c> anything,</c><00:25:10.400><c> he</c><00:25:10.539><c> knoweth</c>

00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:13.200
nothing<00:25:11.279><c> yet</c><00:25:11.519><c> as</c><00:25:11.680><c> he</c><00:25:11.839><c> ought</c><00:25:12.039><c> to</c><00:25:12.240><c> know.</c>

00:25:13.400 --> 00:25:18.099

00:25:19.339 --> 00:25:24.440
So<00:25:19.519><c> there</c><00:25:19.680><c> is</c><00:25:19.839><c> knowledge,</c><00:25:21.900><c> which</c><00:25:22.279><c> makes</c><00:25:22.599><c> a</c><00:25:22.819><c> man</c><00:25:23.660><c> think</c><00:25:24.240><c> that</c>

he<00:25:24.559><c> knows.</c>

00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.500

00:25:33.299 --> 00:25:37.240
He<00:25:33.519><c> might</c><00:25:33.819><c> know</c><00:25:34.019><c> it</c><00:25:34.579><c> accurately,</c><00:25:35.259><c> and</c><00:25:35.539><c> he</c><00:25:35.599><c> might</c><00:25:35.859><c> know</c><00:25:36.059><c> it</c><00:25:36.359><c> well.</c>

00:25:38.019 --> 00:25:42.400
But<00:25:38.539><c> the</c><00:25:38.940><c> tragedy</c><00:25:39.400><c> is,</c><00:25:39.740><c> brothers</c><00:25:39.859><c> and</c><00:25:40.119><c> sisters,</c><00:25:41.559><c> God</c><00:25:41.859><c> may</c><00:25:42.119><c> not</c>

00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:47.160
Oh,<00:25:45.380><c> you</c><00:25:45.460><c> say</c><00:25:45.599><c> God</c><00:25:45.819><c> knows</c><00:25:46.019><c> everybody.</c><00:25:46.339><c> Of</c><00:25:46.599><c> course</c><00:25:46.599><c> he</c><00:25:46.779><c> does.</c>

00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:53.119
It<00:25:49.599><c> means</c><00:25:49.859><c> that</c><00:25:50.099><c> God</c><00:25:50.299><c> doesn't</c><00:25:50.619><c> take</c><00:25:50.900><c> any</c><00:25:51.079><c> coquitance</c><00:25:51.480><c> off</c><00:25:51.700><c> him,</c>

00:26:00.140 --> 00:26:04.740

But<00:28:32.599><c> Moses</c><00:28:32.900><c> was</c><00:28:33.140><c> not</c><00:28:33.480><c> prepared</c><00:28:33.740><c> to</c><00:28:34.039><c> accept</c><00:28:34.220><c> that,</c><00:28:34.579><c> brethren</c>

And<00:33:26.220><c> sometimes</c><00:33:26.640><c> we</c><00:33:26.779><c> get</c><00:33:27.000><c> taken</c><00:33:27.240><c> by</c><00:33:27.460><c> the</c><00:33:27.660><c> scruff</c><00:33:27.859><c> of</c><00:33:28.039><c> the</c><00:33:28.119><c> neck</c>

00:33:40.119 --> 00:33:42.819
It'll<00:33:40.460><c> hurt,</c><00:33:41.140><c> too,</c><00:33:41.619><c> and</c><00:33:41.940><c> we'll</c><00:33:42.180><c> learn</c><00:33:42.339><c> in</c><00:33:42.539><c> the</c><00:33:42.660><c> end.</c>

but<00:44:56.269><c> there's</c><00:44:56.710><c> something</c><00:44:57.309><c> peculiar</c><00:44:58.150><c> about</c><00:44:58.449><c> what</c><00:44:58.630><c> he</c><00:44:58.909><c> said.</c>

00:45:00.329 --> 00:45:03.369
And<00:45:00.570><c> those</c><00:45:00.889><c> who</c><00:45:01.050><c> are</c><00:45:01.210><c> of</c><00:45:01.469><c> God</c><00:45:01.849><c> know</c><00:45:02.289><c> that</c><00:45:02.489><c> it</c><00:45:02.690><c> can't</c><00:45:02.909><c> be</c><00:45:03.130><c> right</c>

00:45:03.369 --> 00:45:04.289
because<00:45:03.730><c> it's</c><00:45:04.050><c> a</c><00:45:04.170><c> lie,</c>

00:45:04.349 --> 00:45:07.369
because<00:45:04.590><c> it</c><00:45:05.130><c> reflects</c><00:45:05.869><c> against</c><00:45:06.349><c> the</c><00:45:06.650><c> true</c><00:45:06.829><c> shepherd</c><00:45:07.130><c> in</c>

00:45:08.829 --> 00:45:10.730
So<00:45:09.070><c> they</c><00:45:09.309><c> won't</c><00:45:09.769><c> go</c><00:45:10.110><c> with</c><00:45:10.309><c> it.</c>

00:45:10.969 --> 00:45:14.730
They<00:45:11.230><c> just</c><00:45:11.590><c> will</c><00:45:12.030><c> not</c><00:45:12.469><c> go</c><00:45:12.889><c> with</c><00:45:13.150><c> it,</c><00:45:13.489><c> brothers</c><00:45:13.610><c> and</c><00:45:13.869><c> sisters.</c>

00:45:15.889 --> 00:45:18.510
Now<00:45:16.389><c> back</c><00:45:16.550><c> in</c><00:45:16.710><c> John,</c><00:45:17.010><c> having</c><00:45:17.329><c> spoken</c><00:45:17.690><c> that</c><00:45:18.010><c> proverb,</c><00:45:18.349><c> they</c>

00:45:18.510 --> 00:45:20.150
didn't<00:45:18.809><c> understand</c><00:45:19.369><c> it.</c>

00:45:24.250 --> 00:45:27.110
This<00:45:24.530><c> proverb</c><00:45:25.050><c> spoke</c><00:45:25.570><c> Jesus</c><00:45:25.909><c> unto</c><00:45:26.170><c> them,</c><00:45:26.530><c> but</c><00:45:26.690><c> they</c><00:45:26.869><c> didn't</c>

00:45:29.829 --> 00:45:32.730
And<00:45:30.010><c> so</c><00:45:30.349><c> Jesus</c><00:45:30.730><c> has</c><00:45:31.010><c> got</c><00:45:31.130><c> to</c><00:45:31.409><c> spell</c><00:45:31.610><c> it</c><00:45:31.829><c> out.</c>

00:45:36.309 --> 00:45:39.150
Jesus<00:45:36.630><c> said</c><00:45:36.889><c> unto</c><00:45:37.010><c> them,</c><00:45:37.289><c> Look,</c><00:45:38.210><c> you</c><00:45:38.210><c> know,</c><00:45:38.789><c> almost</c><00:45:38.869><c> like</c><00:45:39.030><c> saying,</c>

And<00:47:29.050><c> he</c><00:47:29.210><c> saw</c><00:47:29.409><c> the</c><00:47:29.670><c> Spirit</c><00:47:29.869><c> descend</c><00:47:30.130><c> upon</c><00:47:30.409><c> him,</c><00:47:30.750><c> he</c><00:47:30.909><c> said,</c><00:47:31.269><c> that's</c><00:47:31.389><c> him.</c>

00:47:32.210 --> 00:47:34.769
Not<00:47:32.590><c> one</c><00:47:32.849><c> of</c><00:47:32.949><c> them</c><00:47:33.070><c> claimed</c><00:47:33.369><c> to</c><00:47:33.570><c> be</c><00:47:33.630><c> that</c><00:47:33.989><c> door.</c>

00:47:35.150 --> 00:47:37.269
But<00:47:35.309><c> there</c><00:47:35.489><c> were</c><00:47:35.670><c> others</c><00:47:35.869><c> who</c><00:47:36.110><c> claimed</c><00:47:36.250><c> that.</c>

00:47:38.170 --> 00:47:42.429
Some<00:47:38.349><c> would</c><00:47:38.590><c> say,</c><00:47:39.070><c> Christ</c><00:47:39.289><c> said,</c><00:47:39.570><c> I</c><00:47:40.090><c> am</c><00:47:40.349><c> Christ,</c><00:47:40.869><c> go</c><00:47:40.989><c> not</c><00:47:41.170><c> after</c><00:47:41.409><c> him.</c>

00:47:42.989 --> 00:47:46.130
Everybody<00:47:43.469><c> he</c><00:47:43.750><c> said</c><00:47:43.929><c> that</c><00:47:44.150><c> came</c><00:47:44.349><c> before</c><00:47:44.730><c> me</c><00:47:44.969><c> that</c><00:47:45.150><c> said</c><00:47:45.329><c> that</c>

00:47:46.130 --> 00:47:48.969
is<00:47:46.730><c> a</c><00:47:46.889><c> thief</c><00:47:47.150><c> and</c><00:47:47.489><c> a</c><00:47:47.610><c> robber.</c>

00:47:49.650 --> 00:47:52.469
Because<00:47:50.090><c> if</c><00:47:50.429><c> you</c><00:47:50.590><c> follow</c><00:47:50.809><c> them,</c><00:47:51.130><c> brothers</c><00:47:51.289><c> and</c><00:47:51.510><c> sisters,</c>

00:47:53.329 --> 00:48:02.449
you've<00:47:53.769><c> either</c><00:47:53.929><c> got</c><00:47:54.130><c> to</c><00:47:54.329><c> go</c><00:47:55.269><c> a</c><00:47:55.769><c> devious</c><00:47:56.230><c> way</c><00:47:56.730><c> or</c><00:47:59.809><c> a</c><00:48:01.090><c> violent</c><00:48:01.389><c> way.</c>

00:48:03.090 --> 00:48:06.989
You<00:48:03.230><c> find</c><00:48:03.389><c> you</c><00:48:03.449><c> don't</c><00:48:03.670><c> make</c><00:48:03.909><c> your</c><00:48:04.030><c> way</c><00:48:04.150><c> in</c><00:48:04.349><c> life</c><00:48:04.610><c> unless</c><00:48:04.909><c> you're</c><00:48:05.309><c> devious</c><00:48:05.710><c> or</c><00:48:06.030><c> violent.</c>

00:48:08.269 --> 00:48:10.030
So<00:48:08.409><c> that's</c><00:48:08.630><c> what</c><00:48:08.809><c> they</c><00:48:08.969><c> are,</c><00:48:09.150><c> he</c><00:48:09.309><c> said.</c>

00:48:10.909 --> 00:48:16.769
But<00:48:11.030><c> he</c><00:48:11.130><c> went</c><00:48:11.269><c> on</c><00:48:11.389><c> to</c><00:48:11.550><c> say,</c><00:48:11.849><c> brothers</c><00:48:12.010><c> and</c><00:48:12.210><c> sisters,</c><00:48:13.889><c> I</c><00:48:14.590><c> am</c><00:48:15.769><c> the</c><00:48:16.010><c> door.</c>

00:48:17.909 --> 00:48:20.429
You<00:48:18.190><c> know,</c><00:48:18.469><c> before</c><00:48:18.849><c> he</c><00:48:19.030><c> said</c><00:48:19.190><c> that,</c><00:48:19.449><c> I</c><00:48:19.610><c> just</c><00:48:19.829><c> missed</c><00:48:19.989><c> something</c><00:48:20.230><c> there.</c>

00:48:20.429 --> 00:48:24.150
He<00:48:20.550><c> said,</c><00:48:21.329><c> all</c><00:48:21.670><c> that</c><00:48:21.929><c> ever</c><00:48:22.110><c> came</c><00:48:22.289><c> before</c><00:48:22.610><c> me</c><00:48:22.869><c> are</c><00:48:23.369><c> thieves</c><00:48:23.670><c> and</c><00:48:23.929><c> robbers.</c>

00:48:24.250 --> 00:48:25.670
And<00:48:24.309><c> it</c><00:48:24.409><c> is</c><00:48:24.730><c> the</c><00:48:24.989><c> present</c><00:48:25.250><c> tense.</c>

00:48:25.969 --> 00:48:28.750
He<00:48:26.010><c> was</c><00:48:26.130><c> speaking</c><00:48:26.409><c> about</c><00:48:26.690><c> people</c><00:48:27.269><c> then</c><00:48:27.690><c> alive.</c>

00:48:29.309 --> 00:48:31.690
And<00:48:29.429><c> you</c><00:48:29.550><c> know</c><00:48:29.670><c> the</c><00:48:29.809><c> conversation</c><00:48:30.369><c> was</c><00:48:30.610><c> going</c><00:48:30.829><c> on</c><00:48:31.130><c> with</c><00:48:31.409><c> these</c>

00:48:31.690 --> 00:48:32.889
men<00:48:31.889><c> that</c><00:48:32.070><c> had</c><00:48:32.150><c> gathered</c><00:48:32.309><c> around</c><00:48:32.610><c> him</c>

00:48:32.889 --> 00:48:35.769
of<00:48:33.130><c> whom</c><00:48:33.289><c> he</c><00:48:33.510><c> said</c><00:48:33.690><c> they</c><00:48:33.949><c> were</c><00:48:34.130><c> in</c><00:48:34.369><c> darkness</c><00:48:34.670><c> and</c><00:48:34.969><c> blind</c><00:48:35.210><c> because</c><00:48:35.510><c> they</c>

00:48:35.769 --> 00:48:37.449
said<00:48:35.889><c> they</c><00:48:36.289><c> saw</c><00:48:36.530><c> it.</c>

00:48:37.570 --> 00:48:39.409
This<00:48:37.789><c> is</c><00:48:37.929><c> in</c><00:48:38.110><c> relation</c><00:48:38.329><c> to</c><00:48:38.510><c> the</c><00:48:38.630><c> healing</c><00:48:38.750><c> of</c><00:48:38.929><c> the</c><00:48:39.050><c> blind</c><00:48:39.190><c> men.</c>

00:48:39.590 --> 00:48:41.590
And<00:48:39.710><c> he</c><00:48:39.789><c> says,</c><00:48:40.190><c> they</c><00:48:40.309><c> are</c><00:48:40.849><c> thieves</c><00:48:41.150><c> and</c><00:48:41.389><c> robbers.</c>

00:48:41.670 --> 00:48:43.489
He's<00:48:42.030><c> talking</c><00:48:42.110><c> about</c><00:48:42.489><c> them.</c>

00:48:44.329 --> 00:48:46.269
And<00:48:44.630><c> they</c><00:48:44.789><c> wouldn't</c><00:48:44.989><c> have</c><00:48:45.150><c> missed</c><00:48:45.289><c> that,</c><00:48:45.650><c> brothers</c><00:48:45.750><c> and</c><00:48:45.949><c> sisters.</c>

00:48:46.489 --> 00:48:47.969
No<00:48:46.789><c> way</c><00:48:46.969><c> would</c><00:48:47.110><c> they</c><00:48:47.329><c> have</c><00:48:47.510><c> missed</c><00:48:47.550><c> that.</c>

00:48:47.969 --> 00:48:49.949
But<00:48:48.909><c> he</c><00:48:49.050><c> says,</c><00:48:49.510><c> I</c><00:48:49.510><c> am</c><00:48:49.710><c> the</c><00:48:49.869><c> door.</c>

00:48:50.010 --> 00:48:55.349
By<00:48:50.269><c> me,</c><00:48:51.670><c> if</c><00:48:51.889><c> any</c><00:48:52.110><c> man</c><00:48:52.329><c> enter</c><00:48:52.630><c> in,</c><00:48:53.730><c> he</c><00:48:53.949><c> shall</c><00:48:54.110><c> be</c><00:48:54.449><c> saved.</c>

00:48:57.130 --> 00:49:01.730
Now,<00:48:57.329><c> he'll</c><00:48:57.530><c> be</c><00:48:57.590><c> able</c><00:48:57.670><c> to</c><00:48:57.730><c> be</c><00:48:58.030><c> saved</c><00:48:58.349><c> because</c><00:48:58.750><c> he</c><00:49:00.250><c> enters</c><00:49:00.650><c> in.</c>

00:49:02.730 --> 00:49:03.989
It's<00:49:02.989><c> obvious,</c><00:49:03.289><c> isn't</c><00:49:03.349><c> it?</c>

00:49:04.210 --> 00:49:08.349
Once<00:49:04.530><c> the</c><00:49:04.750><c> sheep</c><00:49:04.949><c> are</c><00:49:05.269><c> in</c><00:49:05.630><c> and</c><00:49:05.969><c> the</c><00:49:06.150><c> door</c><00:49:06.309><c> is</c><00:49:06.590><c> locked,</c><00:49:07.269><c> he's</c><00:49:07.449><c> safe.</c>

00:49:09.150 --> 00:49:11.610
So<00:49:09.429><c> it's</c><00:49:09.710><c> obvious</c><00:49:09.949><c> what</c><00:49:10.070><c> he</c><00:49:10.230><c> means</c><00:49:10.409><c> by</c><00:49:10.710><c> that.</c>

00:49:12.090 --> 00:49:16.309
But<00:49:12.210><c> you</c><00:49:12.309><c> see,</c><00:49:12.670><c> brothers</c><00:49:12.789><c> and</c><00:49:13.050><c> sisters,</c><00:49:14.469><c> the</c><00:49:14.730><c> truth</c><00:49:15.030><c> is</c><00:49:15.269><c> something.</c>

00:49:16.909 --> 00:49:19.710
That<00:49:17.389><c> not</c><00:49:17.630><c> only</c><00:49:17.989><c> encloses</c><00:49:18.630><c> us</c><00:49:18.929><c> from</c><00:49:19.090><c> the</c><00:49:19.289><c> world</c>

00:49:19.710 --> 00:49:23.670
and<00:49:20.389><c> keeps</c><00:49:20.630><c> us</c><00:49:20.989><c> safe</c><00:49:21.429><c> from</c><00:49:21.769><c> the</c><00:49:21.969><c> influence</c><00:49:22.210><c> of</c><00:49:22.389><c> the</c><00:49:22.530><c> world</c>

00:49:23.829 --> 00:49:30.150
but<00:49:24.309><c> gives</c><00:49:24.570><c> us</c><00:49:24.869><c> freedom</c><00:49:25.489><c> to</c><00:49:27.389><c> go</c><00:49:27.650><c> out</c><00:49:28.050><c> to</c><00:49:28.289><c> find</c><00:49:28.489><c> pasture.</c>

00:49:32.150 --> 00:49:34.849
We<00:49:32.250><c> come,</c><00:49:32.610><c> brothers</c><00:49:32.750><c> and</c><00:49:33.010><c> sisters,</c><00:49:33.369><c> withstand</c><00:49:34.050><c> the</c><00:49:34.329><c> pressures</c><00:49:34.510><c> of</c><00:49:34.690><c> the</c><00:49:34.789><c> world.</c>

00:49:34.929 --> 00:49:37.269
We<00:49:34.969><c> can't</c><00:49:35.170><c> always</c><00:49:35.630><c> be</c><00:49:35.969><c> here.</c>

00:49:37.889 --> 00:49:40.369
But<00:49:37.989><c> we</c><00:49:38.070><c> go</c><00:49:38.250><c> in</c><00:49:38.610><c> and</c><00:49:38.829><c> we</c><00:49:38.909><c> go</c><00:49:39.130><c> out.</c>

00:49:40.610 --> 00:49:43.289
And<00:49:40.809><c> wherever</c><00:49:41.050><c> we</c><00:49:41.309><c> go,</c><00:49:42.269><c> we</c><00:49:42.409><c> have</c><00:49:42.570><c> God's</c><00:49:43.070><c> protection.</c>

00:49:43.289 --> 00:49:46.750
If<00:49:43.750><c> we</c><00:49:43.829><c> know</c><00:49:44.090><c> and</c><00:49:44.190><c> understand</c><00:49:44.630><c> the</c><00:49:44.869><c> shepherd's</c><00:49:45.329><c> voice,</c><00:49:45.489><c> that's</c><00:49:45.849><c> the</c><00:49:45.989><c> point.</c>

00:49:46.829 --> 00:49:49.769
So<00:49:46.989><c> they</c><00:49:47.070><c> go</c><00:49:47.210><c> into</c><00:49:47.389><c> this</c><00:49:48.230><c> ecclesia,</c><00:49:48.550><c> this</c><00:49:48.929><c> fold,</c><00:49:49.329><c> and</c><00:49:49.489><c> they're</c>

00:49:49.769 --> 00:49:50.829
safe<00:49:50.250><c> in</c><00:49:50.570><c> there.</c>

00:49:51.230 --> 00:49:54.889
But<00:49:51.369><c> he</c><00:49:51.449><c> says,</c><00:49:52.250><c> he</c><00:49:52.250><c> shall</c><00:49:52.469><c> go</c><00:49:52.829><c> in</c><00:49:53.369><c> and</c><00:49:53.929><c> out.</c>

00:49:56.809 --> 00:50:01.130

00:52:30.849 --> 00:52:32.809
When<00:52:30.949><c> Moses</c><00:52:31.269><c> fell</c><00:52:31.489><c> on</c><00:52:31.530><c> his</c><00:52:31.789><c> face</c><00:52:31.949><c> and</c><00:52:32.010><c> said,</c><00:52:32.309><c> the</c><00:52:32.309><c> God</c><00:52:32.510><c> of</c><00:52:32.650><c> the</c>

00:52:47.449 --> 00:52:50.190
That's<00:52:47.650><c> why</c><00:52:47.809><c> Moses</c><00:52:48.130><c> called</c><00:52:48.409><c> him</c><00:52:49.090><c> the</c><00:52:49.329><c> God</c><00:52:49.510><c> of</c><00:52:49.650><c> the</c><00:52:49.829><c> spirits</c><00:52:50.010><c> of</c>

00:52:57.309 --> 00:53:01.869
And<00:52:57.449><c> because</c><00:52:57.730><c> he</c><00:52:57.889><c> knew</c><00:52:58.070><c> them,</c><00:52:58.989><c> he</c><00:52:59.289><c> wiped</c><00:52:59.550><c> out</c><00:52:59.889><c> the</c><00:53:00.110><c> false</c><00:53:00.349><c> sheep</c><00:53:00.730><c> and</c>

00:53:03.789 --> 00:53:06.730

00:53:08.849 --> 00:53:10.809
That's<00:53:09.170><c> the</c><00:53:09.250><c> very</c><00:53:09.570><c> words</c><00:53:09.849><c> of</c><00:53:10.010><c> John</c><00:53:10.269><c> chapter</c><00:53:10.550><c> 10.</c>

00:53:11.070 --> 00:53:14.110
Now,<00:53:11.809><c> here's</c><00:53:12.369><c> an</c><00:53:12.469><c> example</c><00:53:12.969><c> of</c><00:53:13.130><c> one</c><00:53:13.289><c> that</c><00:53:13.409><c> could</c><00:53:13.550><c> do</c><00:53:13.710><c> that.</c>

00:53:22.210 --> 00:53:22.969
all<00:53:22.670><c> Israel,</c>

00:53:23.070 --> 00:53:26.869
not<00:53:23.190><c> just</c><00:53:23.510><c> Judah,</c><00:53:25.030><c> but</c><00:53:25.110><c> when</c><00:53:25.210><c> he</c><00:53:25.289><c> was</c><00:53:25.469><c> taken</c><00:53:25.750><c> back</c><00:53:25.969><c> by</c><00:53:26.190><c> the</c><00:53:26.409><c> whole</c><00:53:26.710><c> of</c>

00:53:29.269 --> 00:53:31.389
Look<00:53:29.389><c> what</c><00:53:29.550><c> they</c><00:53:29.789><c> said</c><00:53:30.010><c> to</c><00:53:30.150><c> him.</c>

00:53:32.730 --> 00:53:34.369
Now,<00:53:32.829><c> you</c><00:53:32.969><c> think</c><00:53:33.150><c> about</c><00:53:33.409><c> this.</c>

00:53:34.429 --> 00:53:37.789
This<00:53:34.590><c> is</c><00:53:34.690><c> when</c><00:53:34.789><c> David</c><00:53:35.170><c> becomes</c><00:53:35.809><c> king</c><00:53:36.250><c> over</c><00:53:36.730><c> all</c><00:53:37.250><c> Israel.</c>

00:53:38.130 --> 00:53:40.289
So<00:53:38.309><c> he</c><00:53:38.469><c> lost,</c><00:53:38.690><c> in</c><00:53:38.849><c> that</c><00:53:39.090><c> sense,</c><00:53:39.489><c> none</c><00:53:39.670><c> of</c><00:53:39.829><c> his</c><00:53:40.030><c> sheep.</c>

00:53:40.289 --> 00:53:42.630
We<00:53:40.769><c> read</c><00:53:40.969><c> in</c><00:53:41.130><c> 2</c><00:53:41.449><c> Samuel</c><00:53:41.829><c> chapter</c><00:53:42.269><c> 5,</c>

00:53:42.710 --> 00:53:45.969
Then<00:53:42.889><c> came</c><00:53:43.150><c> all</c><00:53:43.489><c> the</c><00:53:43.630><c> tribes</c><00:53:43.869><c> of</c><00:53:44.010><c> Israel</c><00:53:44.269><c> to</c><00:53:44.449><c> David</c><00:53:44.710><c> unto</c><00:53:44.949><c> Hebron</c><00:53:45.369><c> to</c><00:53:45.550><c> fellowship,</c>

00:53:50.190 --> 00:53:54.369
Also<00:53:50.449><c> in</c><00:53:50.789><c> time</c><00:53:51.130><c> past,</c><00:53:52.110><c> when</c><00:53:52.349><c> Saul</c><00:53:52.650><c> was</c><00:53:52.829><c> king</c><00:53:53.030><c> over</c><00:53:53.309><c> us,</c><00:53:53.969><c> thou</c>

00:54:00.090 --> 00:54:05.670
And<00:54:00.289><c> Yahweh</c><00:54:00.570><c> said</c><00:54:00.809><c> to</c><00:54:01.010><c> thee,</c><00:54:01.829><c> Thou</c><00:54:02.190><c> shalt</c><00:54:02.789><c> shepherd</c><00:54:03.590><c> my</c><00:54:04.269><c> people</c><00:54:04.610><c> Israel,</c><00:54:05.510><c> and</c>

00:54:05.670 --> 00:54:08.110
thou<00:54:05.869><c> shalt</c><00:54:06.050><c> be</c><00:54:06.349><c> captain</c><00:54:06.869><c> over</c><00:54:07.269><c> them.</c>

00:54:08.449 --> 00:54:15.110
And<00:54:08.929><c> so</c><00:54:09.110><c> there</c><00:54:09.269><c> was</c><00:54:09.449><c> a</c><00:54:09.630><c> time,</c><00:54:09.849><c> brothers</c><00:54:10.150><c> and</c><00:54:10.369><c> sisters,</c><00:54:11.309><c> when</c><00:54:11.510><c> the</c><00:54:11.829><c> sheep</c><00:54:12.090><c> of</c><00:54:12.349><c> Israel's</c><00:54:13.150><c> flock</c><00:54:13.449><c> had</c><00:54:14.150><c> a</c><00:54:14.369><c> shepherd.</c>

00:54:18.230 --> 00:54:20.309
It<00:54:18.329><c> was</c><00:54:18.570><c> a</c><00:54:18.690><c> magnificent</c><00:54:19.250><c> imitation.</c>

00:54:20.409 --> 00:54:23.230
Why?<00:54:20.889><c> He</c><00:54:21.150><c> stood</c><00:54:21.309><c> head</c><00:54:21.489><c> and</c><00:54:21.650><c> shoulders</c><00:54:21.869><c> above</c><00:54:22.110><c> the</c><00:54:22.349><c> people.</c>

00:54:23.469 --> 00:54:25.570
It<00:54:23.630><c> was</c><00:54:23.849><c> exactly</c><00:54:24.210><c> what</c><00:54:24.429><c> they</c><00:54:24.690><c> wanted.</c>

00:54:26.849 --> 00:54:29.050
Why?<00:54:27.329><c> Why</c><00:54:27.530><c> wouldn't</c><00:54:27.730><c> we</c><00:54:27.949><c> follow</c><00:54:28.130><c> him?</c>

00:54:29.590 --> 00:54:31.389
But<00:54:29.769><c> the</c><00:54:29.949><c> 12</c><00:54:30.190><c> tribes</c><00:54:30.489><c> come</c><00:54:30.690><c> and</c><00:54:30.809><c> say</c><00:54:30.889><c> to</c><00:54:31.090><c> David,</c>

You<00:54:32.070><c> know,</c><00:54:33.449><c> even</c><00:54:33.690><c> when</c><00:54:33.909><c> we</c><00:54:33.969><c> had</c><00:54:34.269><c> Saul,</c><00:54:35.690><c> it</c><00:54:35.829><c> was</c><00:54:36.070><c> you</c><00:54:36.329><c> that</c><00:54:36.489><c> we</c><00:54:36.690><c> followed.</c>

you<00:54:45.170><c> went</c><00:54:45.349><c> out</c><00:54:45.570><c> and</c><00:54:45.690><c> we</c><00:54:45.909><c> followed</c><00:54:46.090><c> you</c><00:54:46.269><c> and</c><00:54:46.369><c> we</c><00:54:46.530><c> felt</c><00:54:46.730><c> safe</c><00:54:47.010><c> in</c>

00:54:47.170 --> 00:54:47.550
the<00:54:47.329><c> open.</c>

00:54:47.670 --> 00:54:49.909
You<00:54:47.869><c> did</c><00:54:48.050><c> that,</c><00:54:48.409><c> but</c><00:54:48.570><c> we</c><00:54:48.710><c> had</c><00:54:48.849><c> a</c><00:54:49.030><c> king.</c>

00:54:50.829 --> 00:54:52.630
But<00:54:50.989><c> they</c><00:54:51.090><c> didn't</c><00:54:51.250><c> hear</c><00:54:51.389><c> his</c><00:54:51.610><c> voice.</c>

00:54:53.650 --> 00:54:55.550
Oh,<00:54:53.869><c> we</c><00:54:53.949><c> know</c><00:54:54.110><c> some</c><00:54:54.309><c> of</c><00:54:54.409><c> them</c><00:54:54.530><c> did.</c>

00:54:56.190 --> 00:55:00.070
But<00:54:56.429><c> by</c><00:54:56.650><c> and</c><00:54:56.849><c> large,</c><00:54:57.170><c> brothers</c><00:54:57.309><c> and</c><00:54:57.510><c> sisters,</c><00:54:57.789><c> the</c><00:54:57.969><c> tribes</c><00:54:58.130><c> didn't</c><00:54:58.329><c> have</c><00:54:58.449><c> any</c><00:54:58.730><c> confidence</c><00:54:59.050><c> in</c><00:54:59.269><c> him.</c>

00:55:00.409 --> 00:55:03.869
And<00:55:00.829><c> when</c><00:55:01.250><c> Saul</c><00:55:01.469><c> was</c><00:55:01.789><c> king,</c><00:55:02.489><c> it</c><00:55:02.690><c> was</c><00:55:02.690><c> you,</c><00:55:02.889><c> they</c><00:55:03.150><c> said,</c><00:55:03.769><c> that</c>

00:55:06.090 --> 00:55:08.590
Because<00:55:06.329><c> there</c><00:55:06.489><c> was</c><00:55:06.630><c> something</c><00:55:06.869><c> about</c><00:55:07.190><c> him,</c><00:55:07.530><c> wasn't</c><00:55:07.530><c> there?</c>

00:55:08.789 --> 00:55:11.670
There<00:55:08.949><c> was</c><00:55:09.050><c> a</c><00:55:09.269><c> distinctive</c><00:55:09.650><c> tone</c><00:55:10.210><c> in</c><00:55:10.570><c> the</c><00:55:10.690><c> way</c><00:55:10.849><c> that</c><00:55:11.010><c> he</c><00:55:11.409><c> spoke</c>

00:55:11.670 --> 00:55:12.769
and<00:55:11.969><c> lived.</c>

00:55:13.590 --> 00:55:18.429
And<00:55:13.769><c> Israel</c><00:55:14.010><c> finally,</c><00:55:15.349><c> albeit</c><00:55:15.710><c> belatedly,</c><00:55:16.369><c> came</c><00:55:16.570><c> to</c><00:55:16.769><c> see</c><00:55:16.969><c> that,</c><00:55:17.309><c> brothers</c><00:55:17.389><c> and</c><00:55:17.590><c> sisters,</c>

00:55:18.650 --> 00:55:22.269
and<00:55:18.789><c> made</c><00:55:18.969><c> him</c><00:55:20.130><c> the</c><00:55:20.309><c> shepherd</c><00:55:20.469><c> out</c><00:55:20.670><c> of</c><00:55:20.809><c> Bethlehem,</c><00:55:21.190><c> didn't</c><00:55:21.389><c> they?</c>

00:55:22.449 --> 00:55:23.250
Wonderful,<00:55:22.929><c> isn't</c><00:55:23.070><c> it?</c>

00:55:23.250 --> 00:55:26.110
And<00:55:23.369><c> so</c><00:55:23.570><c> that</c><00:55:23.809><c> expression,</c><00:55:24.590><c> going</c><00:55:25.050><c> in</c><00:55:25.670><c> and</c><00:55:25.929><c> out,</c>

00:55:26.389 --> 00:55:29.289

00:55:29.650 --> 00:55:32.269
Wonderful,<00:55:30.309><c> really,</c><00:55:30.409><c> isn't</c><00:55:30.530><c> it,</c><00:55:30.630><c> when</c><00:55:30.829><c> you</c><00:55:31.210><c> see</c><00:55:31.389><c> that</c><00:55:32.030><c> coming</c>

00:55:40.309 --> 00:55:43.369
But<00:55:40.530><c> let's</c><00:55:40.670><c> come</c><00:55:40.889><c> back</c><00:55:41.090><c> now</c><00:55:41.329><c> for</c><00:55:41.789><c> a</c><00:55:42.090><c> final</c><00:55:42.409><c> consideration</c><00:55:43.010><c> here</c><00:55:43.269><c> of</c>

Beautiful<00:55:47.190><c> things,</c><00:55:47.530><c> really.</c>

00:55:53.449 --> 00:55:54.849
We<00:55:53.510><c> won't</c><00:55:53.730><c> stop</c><00:55:54.010><c> there,</c><00:55:54.349><c> brothers</c><00:55:54.449><c> and</c><00:55:54.650><c> sisters,</c>

00:55:54.869 --> 00:55:57.190
but<00:55:55.210><c> you</c><00:55:55.590><c> want</c><00:55:55.730><c> to</c><00:55:55.809><c> go</c><00:55:55.949><c> back</c><00:55:56.110><c> in</c><00:55:56.210><c> the</c><00:55:56.369><c> Word</c><00:55:56.510><c> and</c><00:55:56.610><c> have</c><00:55:56.769><c> a</c><00:55:56.789><c> look</c>

00:55:58.730 --> 00:56:01.949
and<00:55:59.010><c> how</c><00:55:59.210><c> it's</c><00:55:59.510><c> used</c><00:55:59.750><c> as</c><00:56:00.150><c> divine</c><00:56:00.769><c> sustenance.</c>

00:56:02.409 --> 00:56:04.130
So<00:56:02.510><c> he's</c><00:56:02.610><c> talking</c><00:56:02.829><c> about</c><00:56:03.030><c> they</c><00:56:03.190><c> go</c><00:56:03.429><c> out</c><00:56:03.570><c> and</c><00:56:03.670><c> they</c><00:56:03.889><c> find</c>

00:56:09.309 --> 00:56:11.570
But<00:56:09.489><c> he</c><00:56:09.570><c> says</c><00:56:09.769><c> in</c><00:56:09.929><c> verse</c><00:56:10.190><c> 10,</c>

00:56:11.900 --> 00:56:17.949
The<00:56:12.230><c> thief</c><00:56:12.610><c> cometh</c><00:56:12.989><c> not,</c><00:56:14.469><c> but</c><00:56:14.690><c> for</c><00:56:14.829><c> to</c><00:56:15.090><c> steal</c><00:56:15.329><c> and</c><00:56:15.550><c> to</c><00:56:15.809><c> kill</c><00:56:16.250><c> and</c><00:56:16.710><c> to</c><00:56:17.090><c> destroy.</c>

00:56:19.250 --> 00:56:22.429
Now,<00:56:19.510><c> you</c><00:56:19.670><c> would</c><00:56:19.849><c> have</c><00:56:19.949><c> picked</c><00:56:20.190><c> up,</c><00:56:20.369><c> when</c><00:56:20.530><c> I</c><00:56:20.690><c> read</c><00:56:20.849><c> that,</c>

00:56:23.070 --> 00:56:25.570

01:03:00.769 --> 01:03:02.369

01:03:02.369 --> 01:03:04.550
expressive<01:03:03.150><c> of</c><01:03:03.570><c> a</c><01:03:03.809><c> voluntary</c><01:03:04.250><c> offering,</c>

01:03:14.050 --> 01:03:16.010
This<01:03:14.210><c> is</c><01:03:14.389><c> my</c><01:03:14.489><c> last</c><01:03:14.809><c> class</c><01:03:15.070><c> for</c><01:03:15.250><c> quite</c><01:03:15.469><c> a</c><01:03:15.630><c> while.</c>

01:03:20.349 --> 01:03:22.329
It's<01:03:20.809><c> absolutely</c><01:03:21.230><c> wonderful.</c>

01:03:22.690 --> 01:03:23.829
The<01:03:22.769><c> point</c><01:03:22.909><c> he</c><01:03:23.050><c> makes</c><01:03:23.269><c> about</c><01:03:23.550><c> this.</c>

01:03:24.090 --> 01:03:26.789
You<01:03:24.210><c> really</c><01:03:24.789><c> have</c><01:03:25.289><c> to</c><01:03:25.530><c> grasp</c><01:03:25.889><c> this.</c>

01:03:27.130 --> 01:03:28.130
Because<01:03:27.130><c> when</c><01:03:27.349><c> we</c><01:03:27.449><c> come</c><01:03:27.610><c> along</c><01:03:27.789><c> next</c><01:03:28.030><c> time</c>

01:03:28.130 --> 01:03:29.750

01:03:30.570 --> 01:03:32.590
The<01:03:30.650><c> point</c><01:03:30.829><c> is</c><01:03:31.030><c> this,</c><01:03:31.469><c> brothers</c><01:03:31.510><c> and</c><01:03:31.690><c> sisters.</c>

01:03:33.130 --> 01:03:34.429
What<01:03:33.309><c> would</c><01:03:33.489><c> ever</c><01:03:33.750><c> be</c><01:03:34.010><c> the</c><01:03:34.190><c> use</c>

01:03:34.429 --> 01:03:36.070
of<01:03:34.630><c> a</c><01:03:34.789><c> shepherd</c>

01:03:37.809 --> 01:03:39.789
dying<01:03:38.269><c> for</c><01:03:38.650><c> his</c><01:03:38.909><c> sheep?</c>

01:03:40.989 --> 01:03:43.150
And<01:03:41.070><c> then</c><01:03:41.190><c> the</c><01:03:41.349><c> sheep</c><01:03:41.510><c> stand</c><01:03:41.929><c> there</c>

01:03:43.190 --> 01:03:44.909
around<01:03:43.650><c> a</c><01:03:43.829><c> dead</c><01:03:43.989><c> body.</c>

01:03:45.969 --> 01:03:47.550
Where<01:03:46.269><c> do</c><01:03:46.329><c> they</c><01:03:46.449><c> go</c><01:03:46.610><c> now?</c>

01:03:48.349 --> 01:03:52.269
What<01:03:48.750><c> would</c><01:03:48.929><c> be</c><01:03:49.210><c> the</c><01:03:50.929><c> profit</c><01:03:51.210><c> in</c><01:03:51.389><c> that?</c>

01:03:54.110 --> 01:03:55.730
It<01:03:54.510><c> doesn't</c><01:03:54.690><c> make</c><01:03:54.829><c> any</c><01:03:55.030><c> sense,</c><01:03:55.550><c> does</c><01:03:55.610><c> it?</c>

01:03:55.829 --> 01:03:57.769
Because<01:03:56.230><c> it's</c><01:03:56.849><c> the</c><01:03:57.010><c> life</c><01:03:57.150><c> of</c><01:03:57.329><c> the</c><01:03:57.570><c> shepherd</c>

01:03:57.769 --> 01:03:59.550
that's<01:03:58.110><c> so</c><01:03:58.309><c> absolutely</c><01:03:58.750><c> critical</c>

01:04:00.369 --> 01:04:01.730
to<01:04:00.769><c> the</c><01:04:00.989><c> sheep.</c>

01:04:03.170 --> 01:04:03.710
And<01:04:03.170><c> you</c><01:04:03.510><c> see,</c>

01:04:03.730 --> 01:04:05.329
what<01:04:03.949><c> Jesus</c><01:04:04.269><c> is</c><01:04:04.550><c> saying</c><01:04:04.750><c> is</c><01:04:05.010><c> this.</c>

01:04:05.710 --> 01:04:07.550
And<01:04:05.829><c> this</c><01:04:05.969><c> is</c><01:04:06.090><c> one</c><01:04:06.230><c> of</c><01:04:06.309><c> the</c><01:04:06.429><c> most</c><01:04:06.849><c> wonderful</c><01:04:07.289><c> things</c>

01:04:07.550 --> 01:04:09.550
I<01:04:07.809><c> have</c><01:04:08.010><c> ever</c><01:04:08.469><c> read</c><01:04:08.650><c> in</c><01:04:08.789><c> the</c><01:04:08.929><c> life</c><01:04:09.070><c> of</c><01:04:09.250><c> our</c><01:04:09.389><c> Lord.</c>

01:04:09.570 --> 01:04:11.510
And<01:04:09.710><c> I've</c><01:04:09.849><c> read</c><01:04:09.949><c> some</c><01:04:10.150><c> pretty</c><01:04:10.289><c> wonderful</c><01:04:10.650><c> things.</c>

01:04:11.829 --> 01:04:13.469
He<01:04:11.989><c> goes</c><01:04:12.190><c> on</c><01:04:12.349><c> to</c><01:04:12.550><c> tell</c><01:04:12.630><c> us,</c><01:04:12.769><c> brothers</c><01:04:12.969><c> and</c><01:04:13.090><c> sisters,</c>

01:04:13.550 --> 01:04:16.710
that<01:04:13.710><c> it</c><01:04:13.809><c> was</c><01:04:14.150><c> two</c><01:04:15.110><c> basic</c>

01:04:17.010 --> 01:04:18.110
motivations

01:04:18.429 --> 01:04:20.210
for<01:04:19.030><c> him</c><01:04:19.329><c> laying</c><01:04:19.590><c> down</c><01:04:19.809><c> his</c><01:04:20.050><c> life</c>

01:04:20.210 --> 01:04:21.489
for<01:04:20.389><c> those</c><01:04:20.630><c> sheep.</c>

01:04:21.909 --> 01:04:24.670
It's<01:04:22.250><c> absolutely</c><01:04:22.730><c> marvelous</c><01:04:23.210><c> what</c><01:04:23.369><c> he</c><01:04:23.570><c> says.</c>

01:04:24.909 --> 01:04:26.190
Verse<01:04:24.989><c> 17.</c>

01:04:27.309 --> 01:04:28.570
Therefore<01:04:27.610><c> doth</c><01:04:27.869><c> my</c><01:04:28.170><c> Father</c>

01:04:28.570 --> 01:04:30.730
love<01:04:28.909><c> me</c>

01:04:31.110 --> 01:04:32.309
because,<01:04:31.710><c> one,</c>

01:04:32.570 --> 01:04:34.590
I<01:04:33.150><c> lay</c><01:04:33.349><c> down</c><01:04:33.530><c> my</c><01:04:33.809><c> life</c>

01:04:34.590 --> 01:04:36.889
and,<01:04:36.090><c> two,</c>

01:04:37.190 --> 01:04:38.809
that<01:04:37.369><c> I</c><01:04:37.590><c> take</c><01:04:37.849><c> it</c><01:04:38.030><c> again.</c>

01:04:40.210 --> 01:04:42.469
Now,<01:04:40.710><c> I</c><01:04:40.809><c> want</c><01:04:40.949><c> you</c><01:04:41.090><c> to</c><01:04:41.250><c> follow</c><01:04:41.369><c> this</c><01:04:41.570><c> carefully.</c>

01:04:43.050 --> 01:04:44.110
There<01:04:43.150><c> were</c><01:04:43.289><c> two</c><01:04:43.510><c> things</c>

01:04:44.110 --> 01:04:46.610
for<01:04:44.329><c> which</c><01:04:44.469><c> his</c><01:04:44.650><c> Father</c><01:04:44.869><c> loved</c><01:04:45.130><c> him</c><01:04:45.369><c> dearly.</c>

01:04:46.969 --> 01:04:48.710
One,<01:04:47.230><c> that</c><01:04:47.309><c> he</c><01:04:47.309><c> would</c><01:04:47.550><c> lay</c><01:04:47.670><c> down</c><01:04:47.769><c> his</c><01:04:47.989><c> life</c>

01:04:48.969 --> 01:04:49.750
and<01:04:49.409><c> the</c><01:04:49.550><c> other,</c>

01:04:49.849 --> 01:04:51.630
it<01:04:49.849><c> would</c><01:04:50.070><c> be</c><01:04:50.670><c> that</c><01:04:50.889><c> in</c><01:04:51.070><c> laying</c><01:04:51.210><c> it</c><01:04:51.449><c> down</c>

01:04:51.630 --> 01:04:53.989
he<01:04:51.730><c> would</c><01:04:51.969><c> ensure</c><01:04:52.389><c> that</c><01:04:52.530><c> he</c><01:04:52.570><c> could</c><01:04:52.730><c> have</c><01:04:52.869><c> it</c><01:04:53.050><c> again.</c>

01:04:54.530 --> 01:04:57.010
Now,<01:04:54.710><c> take</c><01:04:54.909><c> the</c><01:04:55.090><c> second</c><01:04:55.349><c> point</c><01:04:55.690><c> first.</c>

01:04:59.329 --> 01:05:00.150
Jesus<01:04:59.710><c> knew</c><01:05:00.010><c> that</c>

01:05:00.150 --> 01:05:02.449
if<01:05:00.250><c> he</c><01:05:00.349><c> didn't</c><01:05:00.650><c> lay</c><01:05:00.909><c> down</c><01:05:01.130><c> his</c><01:05:01.409><c> life</c>

01:05:02.690 --> 01:05:04.010
because<01:05:03.130><c> he</c><01:05:03.329><c> was</c><01:05:03.570><c> involved</c>

01:05:04.010 --> 01:05:05.590
in<01:05:04.130><c> his</c><01:05:04.349><c> own</c><01:05:04.510><c> offering,</c>

01:05:06.449 --> 01:05:09.010
he<01:05:06.690><c> did</c><01:05:06.909><c> have</c><01:05:07.170><c> to</c><01:05:07.309><c> die</c><01:05:07.489><c> for</c><01:05:07.710><c> himself.</c>

01:05:09.630 --> 01:05:11.869
But<01:05:10.070><c> not,</c><01:05:10.530><c> brothers</c><01:05:10.590><c> and</c><01:05:10.869><c> sisters,</c>

in<01:05:12.130><c> the</c><01:05:12.489><c> individualistic</c><01:05:13.250><c> sense</c>

01:05:14.769 --> 01:05:16.570
because<01:05:15.170><c> he</c><01:05:15.449><c> knew</c>

01:05:16.730 --> 01:05:18.210
that<01:05:17.130><c> if</c><01:05:17.250><c> he</c><01:05:17.369><c> was</c><01:05:17.570><c> not</c><01:05:17.750><c> involved</c>

01:05:18.210 --> 01:05:19.710
in<01:05:18.389><c> all</c><01:05:18.630><c> that</c><01:05:18.750><c> he</c><01:05:18.889><c> did</c><01:05:19.090><c> for</c><01:05:19.409><c> others</c>

01:05:19.710 --> 01:05:21.230
then<01:05:20.230><c> there</c><01:05:20.429><c> was</c><01:05:20.610><c> no</c><01:05:20.869><c> way</c>

01:05:21.230 --> 01:05:22.889
that<01:05:21.449><c> he</c><01:05:21.630><c> himself</c><01:05:22.050><c> would</c><01:05:22.289><c> be</c><01:05:22.610><c> saved</c>

01:05:22.889 --> 01:05:24.469
and<01:05:23.070><c> if</c><01:05:23.250><c> he</c><01:05:23.449><c> wasn't</c><01:05:23.670><c> going</c><01:05:23.829><c> to</c><01:05:23.969><c> be</c><01:05:24.150><c> saved</c>

01:05:27.949 --> 01:05:30.230
So<01:05:28.130><c> it</c><01:05:28.130><c> wasn't</c><01:05:28.409><c> a</c><01:05:28.650><c> question</c><01:05:28.909><c> of</c><01:05:29.130><c> a</c><01:05:29.309><c> sheer</c><01:05:29.670><c> bravado</c>

01:05:32.889 --> 01:05:34.710
and<01:05:33.230><c> then</c><01:05:33.469><c> close</c><01:05:33.630><c> his</c><01:05:33.849><c> eyes</c><01:05:34.050><c> and</c><01:05:34.170><c> unconsciously</c>

01:05:34.710 --> 01:05:36.389
knowing<01:05:35.030><c> not</c><01:05:35.369><c> what</c><01:05:35.530><c> was</c><01:05:35.630><c> going</c><01:05:35.730><c> to</c><01:05:35.889><c> happen</c><01:05:36.050><c> with</c><01:05:36.250><c> him.</c>

01:05:36.409 --> 01:05:38.769
He<01:05:36.530><c> wouldn't</c><01:05:36.789><c> know</c><01:05:37.030><c> that,</c><01:05:37.550><c> but</c><01:05:37.710><c> he</c><01:05:37.869><c> knew.</c>

01:05:39.409 --> 01:05:41.329
There<01:05:39.530><c> was</c><01:05:39.710><c> an</c><01:05:39.929><c> objective</c><01:05:40.309><c> in</c><01:05:40.590><c> laying</c><01:05:40.690><c> down</c><01:05:40.929><c> his</c><01:05:41.130><c> life.</c>

01:05:41.329 --> 01:05:42.409
What<01:05:41.670><c> was</c><01:05:41.949><c> the</c><01:05:42.070><c> objective?</c>

01:05:42.489 --> 01:05:44.389

01:05:44.630 --> 01:05:45.889
That<01:05:44.710><c> he</c><01:05:44.789><c> might</c><01:05:44.989><c> be</c><01:05:45.190><c> a</c><01:05:45.369><c> better</c><01:05:45.630><c> shepherd</c>

You'll<01:05:51.809><c> sing</c><01:05:51.949><c> about</c><01:05:52.190><c> it.</c>

01:05:53.190 --> 01:05:54.769
You'll<01:05:53.449><c> sing</c><01:05:53.530><c> of</c><01:05:53.610><c> the</c><01:05:53.710><c> very</c><01:05:53.949><c> principle</c><01:05:54.230><c> of</c><01:05:54.389><c> that</c>

01:06:02.869 --> 01:06:03.829
And<01:06:02.989><c> that</c><01:06:03.110><c> very</c><01:06:03.489><c> principle</c>

01:06:03.829 --> 01:06:05.329
is<01:06:04.030><c> spoken</c><01:06:04.230><c> of</c><01:06:04.389><c> by</c><01:06:04.670><c> the</c><01:06:04.909><c> Apostle</c>

01:06:05.329 --> 01:06:10.789

01:06:10.789 --> 01:06:12.849
in<01:06:11.230><c> a</c><01:06:11.369><c> position</c><01:06:11.889><c> where</c><01:06:12.150><c> he's</c><01:06:12.409><c> a</c><01:06:12.630><c> shepherd</c>

01:08:42.409 --> 01:08:44.829
My<01:08:42.710><c> father</c><01:08:43.149><c> loves</c><01:08:43.550><c> these</c><01:08:43.850><c> sheep.</c>

01:08:50.529 --> 01:08:52.010
And<01:08:50.689><c> I'll</c><01:08:50.850><c> give</c><01:08:50.930><c> my</c><01:08:51.090><c> life</c><01:08:51.329><c> for</c><01:08:51.569><c> it.</c>

01:08:52.329 --> 01:08:54.649
Father<01:08:52.630><c> says,</c><01:08:52.970><c> I</c><01:08:52.970><c> love</c><01:08:53.229><c> you</c><01:08:53.390><c> for</c><01:08:53.550><c> that.</c>

01:08:56.149 --> 01:08:56.630
But<01:08:56.409><c> it's</c>

Not<01:08:59.510><c> only</c><01:08:59.689><c> does</c><01:08:59.810><c> he</c><01:08:59.970><c> do</c><01:09:00.170><c> it</c>

01:09:00.489 --> 01:09:03.149
because<01:09:00.729><c> it's</c><01:09:01.029><c> the</c><01:09:01.130><c> object</c><01:09:01.449><c> of</c><01:09:01.689><c> the</c><01:09:01.869><c> father's</c><01:09:02.289><c> love,</c>

01:09:03.729 --> 01:09:04.949

01:09:08.869 --> 01:09:10.329
And<01:09:09.029><c> so</c><01:09:09.149><c> it's</c><01:09:09.310><c> something,</c><01:09:09.689><c> brothers</c><01:09:09.829><c> and</c><01:09:10.130><c> sisters,</c>

Of<01:09:20.510><c> course</c>
