00:00:44.780 --> 00:00:45.039
chapter.

00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:46.659
That's<00:00:45.240><c> what</c><00:00:45.340><c> we</c><00:00:45.439><c> want</c><00:00:45.500><c> to</c><00:00:45.600><c> have</c><00:00:45.679><c> a</c><00:00:45.740><c> look</c><00:00:45.880><c> at,</c><00:00:46.060><c> so</c><00:00:46.280><c> thank</c><00:00:46.539><c> you</c>

00:00:47.619 --> 00:00:51.159

00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:54.799
This<00:00:51.840><c> subject,</c><00:00:52.259><c> I</c><00:00:52.359><c> guess,</c><00:00:52.880><c> demonstrates</c><00:00:53.500><c> to</c><00:00:53.840><c> us</c><00:00:53.979><c> that</c><00:00:54.280><c> life</c>

00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:59.079
is<00:00:55.439><c> not</c><00:00:55.679><c> always</c><00:00:56.240><c> what</c><00:00:56.500><c> it</c><00:00:56.799><c> seems,</c><00:00:58.380><c> especially</c>

00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:03.000
when<00:00:59.380><c> we</c><00:00:59.640><c> allow</c><00:00:59.880><c> God</c><00:01:00.340><c> to</c><00:01:00.780><c> work</c><00:01:01.259><c> in</c><00:01:01.880><c> our</c><00:01:02.119><c> lives.</c>

00:01:03.420 --> 00:01:05.140
I<00:01:03.520><c> don't</c><00:01:03.659><c> know</c><00:01:03.759><c> about</c><00:01:03.880><c> you,</c><00:01:04.079><c> but</c><00:01:04.200><c> when</c><00:01:04.400><c> I</c><00:01:04.560><c> read</c><00:01:04.659><c> this</c><00:01:04.920><c> chapter</c>

00:01:05.140 --> 00:01:07.439
I<00:01:05.260><c> get</c><00:01:05.500><c> down</c><00:01:05.739><c> to</c><00:01:05.939><c> about</c><00:01:06.140><c> verse</c><00:01:06.400><c> 5</c><00:01:06.859><c> and</c><00:01:07.099><c> verse</c>

00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:10.760
6,<00:01:08.120><c> and</c><00:01:08.260><c> at</c><00:01:08.439><c> that</c><00:01:08.700><c> point</c><00:01:08.900><c> I</c><00:01:09.120><c> just</c><00:01:09.560><c> stop</c><00:01:09.799><c> and</c><00:01:10.019><c> I</c><00:01:10.280><c> shake</c><00:01:10.420><c> my</c><00:01:10.659><c> head</c>

00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:13.659
and<00:01:10.959><c> think,</c><00:01:11.439><c> it</c><00:01:12.099><c> just</c><00:01:12.659><c> doesn't</c><00:01:13.079><c> sound</c><00:01:13.480><c> right.</c>

00:01:13.780 --> 00:01:15.060
Have<00:01:14.120><c> a</c><00:01:14.159><c> read</c><00:01:14.299><c> of</c><00:01:14.420><c> the</c><00:01:14.540><c> verses</c><00:01:14.739><c> again.</c>

00:01:15.060 --> 00:01:24.719
Now<00:01:15.659><c> Jesus</c><00:01:16.420><c> loved</c><00:01:17.599><c> Martha</c><00:01:18.500><c> and</c><00:01:19.599><c> her</c><00:01:19.959><c> sister</c><00:01:20.939><c> and</c><00:01:21.700><c> Lazarus,</c><00:01:23.359><c> and</c><00:01:24.340><c> when</c><00:01:24.519><c> he</c>

00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:25.780
heard<00:01:24.980><c> therefore</c><00:01:25.560><c> that</c>

00:01:25.780 --> 00:01:31.000
Lazarus<00:01:26.200><c> was</c><00:01:26.519><c> sick,</c><00:01:28.400><c> he</c><00:01:28.640><c> stayed</c><00:01:28.879><c> where</c><00:01:29.000><c> he</c><00:01:29.079><c> was</c><00:01:29.260><c> for</c><00:01:29.400><c> two</c><00:01:29.620><c> more</c><00:01:29.780><c> days.</c>

00:01:32.299 --> 00:01:33.439
Really?

00:01:34.099 --> 00:01:38.620
So<00:01:34.260><c> the</c><00:01:34.420><c> Lord,</c><00:01:34.680><c> with</c><00:01:34.939><c> all</c><00:01:35.239><c> his</c><00:01:35.420><c> love,</c><00:01:36.620><c> for</c><00:01:36.799><c> all</c><00:01:37.159><c> three</c><00:01:37.439><c> of</c><00:01:37.680><c> them,</c><00:01:38.439><c> the</c>

00:01:38.620 --> 00:01:40.459

00:01:40.459 --> 00:01:44.480
would<00:01:40.599><c> do</c><00:01:41.299><c> is</c><00:01:42.079><c> just</c><00:01:42.379><c> to</c><00:01:42.620><c> stay</c><00:01:42.819><c> right</c><00:01:43.200><c> where</c><00:01:43.420><c> he</c><00:01:43.739><c> was</c><00:01:44.120><c> and</c><00:01:44.340><c> not</c>

00:01:48.540 --> 00:01:53.519
When<00:01:48.739><c> he</c><00:01:48.939><c> hears</c><00:01:49.140><c> that</c><00:01:49.420><c> Lazarus</c><00:01:49.719><c> is</c><00:01:49.939><c> about</c><00:01:50.159><c> to</c><00:01:50.439><c> die,</c><00:01:53.079><c> yes,</c><00:01:53.319><c> we</c>

00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:55.920

00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:02.019
For<00:01:58.079><c> Mary</c><00:01:58.359><c> and</c><00:01:58.560><c> Martha,</c><00:02:00.400><c> that</c><00:02:00.599><c> doesn't</c><00:02:00.920><c> look</c><00:02:01.239><c> like</c><00:02:01.579><c> and</c><00:02:01.819><c> nor</c>

00:02:02.019 --> 00:02:08.079

00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:16.719
You've<00:02:10.240><c> asked</c><00:02:10.460><c> for</c><00:02:10.719><c> help,</c><00:02:12.599><c> you've</c><00:02:13.020><c> got</c><00:02:13.159><c> a</c><00:02:13.319><c> response,</c><00:02:14.860><c> but</c><00:02:15.340><c> there's</c><00:02:15.539><c> no</c><00:02:15.699><c> action.</c>

00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:23.900

We<00:02:41.099><c> know</c><00:02:41.319><c> that</c><00:02:41.460><c> Lazarus</c><00:02:41.740><c> gets</c><00:02:41.960><c> raised</c><00:02:42.240><c> again</c><00:02:42.520><c> and</c><00:02:42.639><c> that's</c><00:02:42.879><c> all</c><00:02:43.020><c> good.</c>

00:02:48.939 --> 00:02:51.400
Life<00:02:49.120><c> can</c><00:02:49.319><c> be</c><00:02:49.460><c> a</c><00:02:49.539><c> bit</c><00:02:49.659><c> like</c><00:02:49.840><c> that</c><00:02:50.020><c> for</c><00:02:50.180><c> us</c><00:02:50.360><c> at</c><00:02:50.500><c> times.</c>

00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.879
Life<00:02:52.360><c> might</c><00:02:52.759><c> seem</c><00:02:53.199><c> like</c><00:02:53.460><c> it's</c><00:02:53.719><c> just</c><00:02:54.000><c> impossible.</c>

00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:58.699
It's<00:02:55.599><c> beyond</c><00:02:55.919><c> us,</c><00:02:56.500><c> it's</c><00:02:56.860><c> all</c><00:02:57.099><c> too</c><00:02:57.439><c> hard</c><00:02:57.599><c> and</c><00:02:57.800><c> the</c><00:02:58.060><c> outlook</c><00:02:58.319><c> is</c>

00:02:58.699 --> 00:03:00.759
just<00:02:59.080><c> black,</c><00:02:59.560><c> it's</c><00:03:00.000><c> dark</c><00:03:00.340><c> and</c><00:03:00.500><c> there's</c>

00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:03.919
nothing<00:03:01.000><c> positive</c><00:03:01.659><c> on</c><00:03:02.099><c> the</c><00:03:02.340><c> horizon</c><00:03:02.800><c> for</c><00:03:03.120><c> our</c><00:03:03.419><c> life</c><00:03:03.620><c> and</c><00:03:03.759><c> what</c>

00:03:06.659 --> 00:03:09.960
That's<00:03:06.979><c> because</c><00:03:07.199><c> our</c><00:03:07.479><c> life</c><00:03:07.639><c> is</c><00:03:07.879><c> not</c><00:03:08.199><c> a</c><00:03:08.539><c> pre</c><00:03:08.800><c>-recorded</c><00:03:09.520><c> act</c>

00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:12.719

00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:13.879
life.

00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:17.120
Our<00:03:15.060><c> life's</c><00:03:15.319><c> made</c><00:03:15.439><c> up</c><00:03:15.599><c> of</c><00:03:15.719><c> the</c><00:03:16.039><c> decisions</c><00:03:16.379><c> and</c><00:03:16.580><c> the</c><00:03:16.860><c> choices</c>

00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:21.500

00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:28.840
God<00:03:26.360><c> puts</c><00:03:26.680><c> them</c><00:03:26.939><c> there,</c><00:03:27.180><c> whether</c><00:03:27.419><c> they're</c><00:03:27.860><c> good</c><00:03:28.199><c> things</c><00:03:28.539><c> or</c>

00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:32.139

00:03:32.340 --> 00:03:36.759
they're<00:03:32.580><c> the</c><00:03:32.719><c> things</c><00:03:32.900><c> that</c><00:03:33.340><c> God</c><00:03:33.699><c> has</c><00:03:34.120><c> allowed</c><00:03:34.919><c> to</c><00:03:35.580><c> occur</c><00:03:36.240><c> in</c>

00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:38.099
our<00:03:37.020><c> lives.</c>

00:03:41.340 --> 00:03:45.419

00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:48.560
It's<00:03:46.180><c> a</c><00:03:46.319><c> phrase</c><00:03:46.479><c> that</c><00:03:46.659><c> comes</c><00:03:46.860><c> up</c><00:03:47.060><c> in</c><00:03:47.280><c> Philippians</c><00:03:47.699><c> chapter</c><00:03:48.039><c> 2.</c>

00:03:48.819 --> 00:03:50.000
I'm<00:03:48.939><c> going</c><00:03:48.960><c> to</c><00:03:49.080><c> draw</c><00:03:49.180><c> the</c><00:03:49.400><c> ideas</c><00:03:49.659><c> from</c><00:03:49.860><c> here.</c>

00:03:50.020 --> 00:03:51.319
What<00:03:50.159><c> did</c><00:03:50.340><c> Paul</c><00:03:50.520><c> mean?</c>

00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:55.139
What<00:03:51.860><c> did</c><00:03:52.060><c> Paul</c><00:03:52.199><c> have</c><00:03:52.379><c> in</c><00:03:52.620><c> mind</c><00:03:52.819><c> in</c><00:03:53.020><c> chapter</c><00:03:53.240><c> 2</c><00:03:53.580><c> after</c><00:03:53.879><c> he's</c><00:03:54.259><c> exhorted</c><00:03:54.520><c> them</c><00:03:54.699><c> all</c><00:03:54.900><c> to</c>

00:03:55.139 --> 00:03:56.620
unity<00:03:55.780><c> and</c><00:03:56.219><c> he</c><00:03:56.419><c> says</c>

00:03:56.620 --> 00:03:59.780
to<00:03:56.819><c> them,</c><00:03:57.560><c> right,</c><00:03:57.740><c> think</c><00:03:58.120><c> about</c><00:03:58.439><c> what</c><00:03:58.639><c> it</c><00:03:58.840><c> is</c><00:03:59.020><c> that</c><00:03:59.199><c> we</c><00:03:59.439><c> have</c>

00:03:59.780 --> 00:04:01.039
in<00:04:00.080><c> Christ.</c>

00:04:01.539 --> 00:04:05.039
We've<00:04:01.780><c> got</c><00:04:02.020><c> encouragement</c><00:04:02.719><c> that</c><00:04:03.840><c> he's</c><00:04:04.180><c> brought</c><00:04:04.379><c> to</c><00:04:04.620><c> us.</c>

00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:07.520
We've<00:04:05.580><c> got</c><00:04:05.919><c> comfort</c><00:04:06.479><c> from</c><00:04:06.819><c> his</c><00:04:07.180><c> love.</c>

00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:09.900
We<00:04:07.960><c> can</c><00:04:08.300><c> share</c><00:04:08.580><c> his</c><00:04:08.979><c> spirit</c><00:04:09.340><c> together.</c>

00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:15.199
There's<00:04:10.699><c> mercies,</c><00:04:11.319><c> there's</c><00:04:11.659><c> kindness</c><00:04:11.960><c> that</c><00:04:12.259><c> he's</c><00:04:13.219><c> demonstrated</c><00:04:13.900><c> to</c><00:04:14.259><c> us.</c>

00:04:15.139 --> 00:04:19.279
Now<00:04:15.379><c> listen,</c><00:04:16.100><c> Philippians,</c><00:04:16.399><c> if</c><00:04:16.480><c> you</c><00:04:16.740><c> enjoy</c><00:04:17.120><c> all</c><00:04:17.459><c> those</c><00:04:17.800><c> things,</c><00:04:19.000><c> can</c>

00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:25.079
I<00:04:23.899><c> thought</c><00:04:24.060><c> I</c><00:04:24.139><c> had</c><00:04:24.220><c> the</c><00:04:24.279><c> rest</c><00:04:24.439><c> of</c><00:04:24.579><c> it,</c><00:04:24.660><c> so</c><00:04:24.800><c> I</c><00:04:24.959><c> didn't.</c>

00:04:25.579 --> 00:04:28.120
By<00:04:25.839><c> living</c><00:04:26.139><c> the</c><00:04:26.339><c> way</c><00:04:26.560><c> he</c><00:04:26.720><c> wanted</c><00:04:27.079><c> them</c><00:04:27.300><c> in</c><00:04:27.579><c> chapter</c><00:04:27.860><c> 2.</c>

00:04:28.180 --> 00:04:30.240
And<00:04:28.360><c> you</c><00:04:28.540><c> know</c><00:04:28.759><c> what</c><00:04:29.000><c> chapter</c><00:04:29.240><c> 2</c><00:04:29.519><c> says,</c><00:04:29.680><c> you've</c><00:04:30.000><c> studied</c><00:04:30.100><c> it,</c>

00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:31.500
I<00:04:30.279><c> didn't</c><00:04:30.500><c> need</c><00:04:30.600><c> it.</c>

00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:37.199
So<00:04:33.259><c> what</c><00:04:33.480><c> is</c><00:04:34.819><c> this</c><00:04:35.379><c> comfort</c><00:04:35.819><c> of</c><00:04:36.100><c> his</c><00:04:36.379><c> love?</c>

00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:39.379
What<00:04:38.100><c> does</c><00:04:38.240><c> that</c><00:04:38.459><c> look</c><00:04:38.600><c> like</c><00:04:38.860><c> in</c><00:04:39.079><c> reality?</c>

00:04:39.620 --> 00:04:42.579

00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.439
those<00:04:45.000><c> principles</c><00:04:45.459><c> into</c><00:04:45.819><c> something</c><00:04:46.160><c> that</c><00:04:46.420><c> looks</c><00:04:46.720><c> like</c><00:04:47.079><c> daily</c>

00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:49.199

00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:50.579
every<00:04:49.500><c> day.</c>

00:04:51.220 --> 00:04:54.600

00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:57.199
The<00:04:55.279><c> comfort</c><00:04:55.720><c> of</c><00:04:56.060><c> his</c><00:04:56.339><c> love.</c>

00:04:59.259 --> 00:05:00.639
What<00:04:59.480><c> is</c><00:04:59.699><c> that?</c>

00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:05.000
To<00:05:02.980><c> me,</c><00:05:03.180><c> one</c><00:05:03.279><c> of</c><00:05:03.379><c> the</c><00:05:03.540><c> most</c><00:05:03.860><c> wonderful</c><00:05:04.279><c> things</c><00:05:04.560><c> that</c><00:05:04.720><c> we</c><00:05:04.819><c> have</c>

00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.379
as<00:05:05.420><c> a</c><00:05:05.660><c> hope</c><00:05:05.959><c> is</c><00:05:06.639><c> we</c><00:05:06.860><c> know</c><00:05:07.019><c> what's</c><00:05:07.300><c> going</c>

00:05:08.860 --> 00:05:10.139
It's<00:05:09.180><c> enormously</c><00:05:09.660><c> comforting.</c>

00:05:10.139 --> 00:05:13.079
I<00:05:10.579><c> don't</c><00:05:10.879><c> quite</c><00:05:11.199><c> know</c><00:05:11.480><c> what</c><00:05:11.819><c> order</c><00:05:12.019><c> and</c><00:05:12.279><c> how</c><00:05:12.660><c> it's</c><00:05:12.819><c> all</c><00:05:12.939><c> going</c>

00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:20.560
we,<00:05:18.879><c> that</c><00:05:19.040><c> all</c><00:05:19.379><c> things</c><00:05:19.680><c> work</c><00:05:19.939><c> together</c>

00:05:23.139 --> 00:05:29.079
Sounds<00:05:23.620><c> easy,</c><00:05:26.839><c> but</c><00:05:27.500><c> that</c><00:05:27.860><c> is</c><00:05:28.199><c> there</c><00:05:28.439><c> in</c><00:05:28.660><c> our</c><00:05:28.839><c> hearts.</c>

00:05:29.139 --> 00:05:30.439
It's<00:05:29.339><c> deep</c><00:05:29.639><c> down</c><00:05:29.899><c> in</c><00:05:30.120><c> our</c><00:05:30.259><c> hearts.</c>

00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:36.500
We<00:05:30.620><c> may</c><00:05:30.899><c> struggle</c><00:05:31.540><c> with</c><00:05:32.040><c> it,</c><00:05:33.180><c> but</c><00:05:33.540><c> we</c><00:05:33.740><c> do</c><00:05:34.040><c> know</c><00:05:34.379><c> that</c><00:05:35.079><c> even</c>

00:05:36.500 --> 00:05:42.699
though<00:05:36.779><c> sometimes</c><00:05:38.019><c> life</c><00:05:39.040><c> doesn't</c><00:05:39.920><c> seem</c><00:05:41.100><c> quite</c>

00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:44.540
what<00:05:43.360><c> we</c><00:05:43.620><c> think</c><00:05:43.740><c> it</c><00:05:43.879><c> would</c><00:05:44.079><c> be.</c>

00:05:45.019 --> 00:05:48.079
Some<00:05:45.279><c> days</c><00:05:45.500><c> we're</c><00:05:45.720><c> not</c><00:05:45.899><c> quite</c><00:05:46.300><c> feeling</c><00:05:46.639><c> that</c><00:05:46.959><c> comfort,</c><00:05:47.579><c> are</c><00:05:47.720><c> we?</c>

00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:56.480
Other<00:05:53.379><c> days</c><00:05:53.639><c> we</c><00:05:53.779><c> don't</c><00:05:54.060><c> feel</c><00:05:54.439><c> that</c><00:05:54.600><c> there's</c><00:05:54.920><c> quite</c><00:05:55.680><c> so</c><00:05:56.220><c> much</c>

00:06:01.060 --> 00:06:05.980

00:06:10.660 --> 00:06:14.420
we<00:06:10.879><c> need</c><00:06:11.019><c> to</c><00:06:11.319><c> understand</c><00:06:12.500><c> that</c><00:06:13.279><c> all</c><00:06:13.560><c> things</c>

00:06:16.670 --> 00:06:22.379
We<00:06:16.879><c> just</c><00:06:17.100><c> need</c><00:06:17.279><c> to</c><00:06:17.480><c> wait</c><00:06:18.139><c> and</c><00:06:18.839><c> see</c><00:06:19.319><c> in</c><00:06:20.160><c> faith</c><00:06:20.660><c> and</c><00:06:21.379><c> trust.</c>

00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:26.699
first<00:06:26.360><c> response?</c>

00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:28.980
What<00:06:26.980><c> do</c><00:06:27.180><c> we</c><00:06:27.399><c> do</c><00:06:27.540><c> in</c><00:06:27.699><c> our</c><00:06:27.860><c> life</c><00:06:28.019><c> when</c><00:06:28.180><c> things</c><00:06:28.439><c> get</c><00:06:28.720><c> bad?</c>

00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:31.839
When<00:06:29.519><c> things</c><00:06:29.779><c> start</c><00:06:30.079><c> looking</c><00:06:30.480><c> like</c><00:06:31.000><c> we've</c><00:06:31.300><c> got</c><00:06:31.420><c> a</c><00:06:31.660><c> problem,</c>

00:06:32.180 --> 00:06:34.220
our<00:06:32.399><c> first</c><00:06:32.660><c> reaction</c><00:06:33.100><c> naturally</c><00:06:33.639><c> is</c><00:06:33.980><c> to</c>

00:06:34.220 --> 00:06:36.339
try<00:06:34.379><c> and</c><00:06:34.540><c> do</c><00:06:34.660><c> something</c><00:06:34.899><c> ourselves</c><00:06:35.259><c> and</c><00:06:35.399><c> that's</c><00:06:35.680><c> right,</c><00:06:36.139><c> God</c>

00:06:36.339 --> 00:06:38.240
expects<00:06:36.800><c> us</c><00:06:37.100><c> to</c><00:06:37.259><c> get</c><00:06:37.360><c> up</c><00:06:37.560><c> and</c><00:06:37.699><c> do</c><00:06:37.899><c> something.</c>

00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:40.740
We<00:06:38.720><c> can't</c><00:06:38.939><c> just</c><00:06:39.100><c> go,</c><00:06:39.279><c> oh</c><00:06:39.439><c> God,</c><00:06:39.620><c> fix</c><00:06:39.860><c> all</c><00:06:40.019><c> the</c><00:06:40.199><c> problems</c><00:06:40.379><c> in</c><00:06:40.560><c> my</c>

00:06:40.740 --> 00:06:41.839
life<00:06:40.920><c> and</c><00:06:41.079><c> sit</c><00:06:41.240><c> there</c><00:06:41.399><c> and</c><00:06:41.500><c> do</c><00:06:41.579><c> nothing.</c>

00:06:41.899 --> 00:06:43.079
It<00:06:42.060><c> doesn't</c><00:06:42.339><c> work</c><00:06:42.639><c> like</c><00:06:42.879><c> that.</c>

00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:45.160
It's<00:06:43.519><c> not</c><00:06:43.680><c> a</c><00:06:43.839><c> magic</c><00:06:44.100><c> thing.</c>

00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:50.019
So<00:06:48.139><c> we</c><00:06:48.360><c> try</c><00:06:48.779><c> to</c><00:06:49.100><c> do</c><00:06:49.259><c> something.</c>

00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:53.399
But<00:06:50.339><c> life</c><00:06:50.519><c> gets</c><00:06:50.779><c> to</c><00:06:50.939><c> the</c><00:06:51.060><c> point</c><00:06:51.240><c> where</c><00:06:51.420><c> we</c><00:06:51.680><c> start</c><00:06:51.899><c> to</c><00:06:52.079><c> get</c><00:06:52.259><c> anxious</c><00:06:52.699><c> because</c><00:06:53.040><c> it's</c>

00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:53.939
difficult<00:06:53.819><c> and</c>

00:06:53.939 --> 00:06:56.620
it's<00:06:54.100><c> beyond</c><00:06:54.319><c> our</c><00:06:54.680><c> control</c><00:06:54.920><c> and</c><00:06:55.120><c> we</c><00:06:55.540><c> start</c><00:06:55.839><c> wondering,</c><00:06:56.360><c> saying</c><00:06:56.420><c> what</c>

00:06:56.620 --> 00:06:57.060
can<00:06:56.819><c> we</c><00:06:56.980><c> do?</c>

00:06:57.079 --> 00:06:57.720
What<00:06:57.220><c> should</c><00:06:57.420><c> we</c><00:06:57.600><c> do?</c>

00:06:57.879 --> 00:06:59.680
I'm<00:06:58.100><c> getting</c><00:06:58.360><c> scared,</c><00:06:58.680><c> I'm</c><00:06:58.759><c> getting</c><00:06:58.959><c> worried</c><00:06:59.240><c> and</c><00:06:59.360><c> we</c><00:06:59.540><c> start</c>

00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:00.819
getting<00:06:59.939><c> stressed</c><00:07:00.199><c> about</c><00:07:00.439><c> those</c><00:07:00.680><c> sort</c>

00:07:00.819 --> 00:07:02.620
of<00:07:00.939><c> things</c><00:07:01.079><c> and</c><00:07:01.500><c> somebody</c><00:07:01.759><c> comes</c><00:07:02.000><c> to</c><00:07:02.120><c> us</c><00:07:02.259><c> and</c><00:07:02.319><c> says,</c><00:07:02.560><c> John,</c>

00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:04.680
you<00:07:02.939><c> should</c><00:07:03.120><c> pray</c><00:07:03.379><c> about</c><00:07:03.620><c> it.</c>

00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:08.000
Yeah,<00:07:06.240><c> but</c><00:07:06.399><c> it</c><00:07:06.540><c> sounds</c><00:07:06.699><c> like</c><00:07:06.899><c> a</c><00:07:07.000><c> cliché.</c>

00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:10.360
But<00:07:08.839><c> that's</c><00:07:09.060><c> what</c><00:07:09.199><c> Paul</c><00:07:09.399><c> said.</c>

00:07:10.779 --> 00:07:11.660
We<00:07:11.180><c> went</c><00:07:11.379><c> black.</c>

00:07:11.660 --> 00:07:13.879
That's<00:07:12.220><c> what</c><00:07:12.399><c> Paul</c><00:07:12.639><c> said</c><00:07:13.019><c> in</c><00:07:13.279><c> Philippians.</c>

00:07:14.060 --> 00:07:21.800
In<00:07:14.180><c> Philippians</c><00:07:14.560><c> 4,</c><00:07:16.040><c> Paul</c><00:07:16.360><c> says,</c><00:07:17.600><c> do</c><00:07:17.600><c> not</c><00:07:18.259><c> be</c><00:07:18.759><c> anxious</c><00:07:19.480><c> about</c><00:07:20.519><c> anything.</c>

00:07:23.860 --> 00:07:28.939
But<00:07:24.199><c> in</c><00:07:24.620><c> everything,</c><00:07:25.560><c> by</c><00:07:25.959><c> prayer</c><00:07:26.379><c> and</c><00:07:26.759><c> supplication,</c><00:07:28.480><c> with</c>

00:07:28.939 --> 00:07:31.199
thanks,<00:07:29.439><c> with</c><00:07:29.759><c> appreciation</c><00:07:30.300><c> to</c><00:07:30.480><c> God,</c><00:07:31.040><c> let</c>

00:07:36.740 --> 00:07:39.139

00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:42.040
That's<00:07:41.399><c> a</c><00:07:41.620><c> magic</c><00:07:41.620><c> fix.</c>

00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:43.060
Got<00:07:42.699><c> a</c><00:07:42.819><c> problem?</c>

Pray<00:07:43.360><c> about</c><00:07:43.600><c> it.</c>

00:07:45.939 --> 00:07:47.879

00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:53.319
These<00:07:49.540><c> sisters</c><00:07:49.819><c> are</c><00:07:50.019><c> going</c><00:07:50.180><c> to</c><00:07:50.360><c> show</c><00:07:50.600><c> us</c><00:07:51.339><c> a</c><00:07:51.620><c> thing</c><00:07:51.800><c> or</c><00:07:52.079><c> two</c><00:07:52.360><c> about</c><00:07:52.759><c> what</c><00:07:52.980><c> it</c>

00:07:56.740 --> 00:08:00.439
Now,<00:07:57.000><c> they</c><00:07:57.220><c> don't</c><00:07:57.459><c> pray</c><00:07:57.860><c> to</c><00:07:58.060><c> God</c><00:07:58.639><c> because</c><00:07:59.519><c> as</c><00:07:59.699><c> we</c><00:07:59.920><c> said</c><00:08:00.060><c> last</c>

00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:03.079
night,<00:08:00.939><c> we're</c><00:08:01.180><c> trying</c><00:08:01.319><c> to</c><00:08:01.519><c> study</c><00:08:01.800><c> characters</c>

00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:06.379
who<00:08:03.439><c> lived</c><00:08:03.759><c> up</c><00:08:04.300><c> close</c><00:08:04.579><c> and</c><00:08:04.899><c> personal</c><00:08:05.199><c> with</c><00:08:05.420><c> the</c><00:08:05.560><c> Lord</c><00:08:05.680><c> Jesus</c><00:08:06.019><c> Christ.</c>

00:08:06.379 --> 00:08:08.220
They<00:08:06.939><c> rubbed</c><00:08:07.459><c> shoulders</c><00:08:07.779><c> with</c><00:08:08.040><c> him.</c>

00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:09.180
They<00:08:08.480><c> walked</c><00:08:08.800><c> with</c><00:08:09.040><c> him.</c>

00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:10.120
They<00:08:09.459><c> sat</c><00:08:09.680><c> with</c><00:08:09.939><c> him.</c>

00:08:10.339 --> 00:08:11.480
They<00:08:10.620><c> talked</c><00:08:10.920><c> with</c><00:08:11.220><c> him.</c>

00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:17.120
They<00:08:12.319><c> experienced</c><00:08:13.060><c> firsthand</c><00:08:14.540><c> God</c><00:08:15.699><c> manifest</c><00:08:16.300><c> in</c><00:08:16.680><c> the</c><00:08:16.920><c> flesh</c>

00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:18.399
in<00:08:17.319><c> their</c><00:08:17.519><c> lives.</c>

00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:21.160
So<00:08:18.839><c> they</c><00:08:19.019><c> didn't</c><00:08:19.220><c> pray</c><00:08:19.500><c> to</c><00:08:19.620><c> God</c><00:08:19.779><c> so</c><00:08:20.060><c> much</c><00:08:20.240><c> as</c><00:08:20.519><c> they</c><00:08:20.819><c> had</c><00:08:20.980><c> the</c>

00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:22.079
Lord<00:08:21.300><c> Jesus</c><00:08:21.620><c> Christ</c><00:08:21.920><c> there.</c>

00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:24.379
So<00:08:22.439><c> we</c><00:08:22.540><c> need</c><00:08:22.660><c> to</c><00:08:22.899><c> translate</c><00:08:23.160><c> that</c><00:08:23.360><c> in</c><00:08:23.519><c> our</c><00:08:23.699><c> minds</c><00:08:23.819><c> in</c><00:08:24.019><c> this</c><00:08:24.240><c> story.</c>

00:08:24.420 --> 00:08:28.519
But<00:08:24.639><c> otherwise,</c><00:08:25.420><c> this</c><00:08:25.639><c> is</c><00:08:25.879><c> going</c><00:08:26.000><c> to</c><00:08:26.259><c> be</c><00:08:26.439><c> a</c><00:08:26.720><c> perfect</c><00:08:27.040><c> model</c><00:08:27.439><c> for</c><00:08:27.879><c> how</c><00:08:28.199><c> we</c>

00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:29.500
should<00:08:28.639><c> behave</c><00:08:29.019><c> when</c><00:08:29.220><c> things</c>

00:08:29.500 --> 00:08:31.560
go<00:08:29.819><c> wrong</c><00:08:30.160><c> in</c><00:08:30.480><c> our</c><00:08:30.740><c> lives.</c>

00:08:33.100 --> 00:08:34.799
First,<00:08:33.480><c> though,</c><00:08:33.840><c> let's</c><00:08:34.039><c> get</c><00:08:34.200><c> into</c><00:08:34.399><c> our</c><00:08:34.620><c> story.</c>

00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:37.580
Let's<00:08:35.059><c> put</c><00:08:35.340><c> some</c><00:08:35.720><c> perspective</c><00:08:36.340><c> on</c><00:08:36.860><c> what's</c><00:08:37.159><c> happening</c><00:08:37.340><c> here.</c>

00:08:37.620 --> 00:08:42.960
This<00:08:37.820><c> family,</c><00:08:38.720><c> Mary,</c><00:08:39.559><c> Martha</c><00:08:39.919><c> and</c><00:08:40.419><c> Lazarus,</c><00:08:41.919><c> are</c><00:08:42.019><c> up</c><00:08:42.460><c> there</c>

00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:43.840
on<00:08:43.139><c> the</c><00:08:43.279><c> level</c><00:08:43.460><c> of</c><00:08:43.700><c> faith.</c>

00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:46.419
We<00:08:44.019><c> said</c><00:08:44.240><c> again</c><00:08:44.559><c> last</c><00:08:44.879><c> night,</c><00:08:45.120><c> we</c><00:08:45.240><c> said</c><00:08:45.460><c> for</c><00:08:45.600><c> those</c><00:08:45.779><c> that</c><00:08:45.960><c> weren't</c><00:08:46.080><c> here,</c><00:08:46.399><c> we</c>

00:08:46.419 --> 00:08:47.100
don't<00:08:46.639><c> want</c><00:08:46.740><c> to</c><00:08:46.840><c> talk</c><00:08:46.960><c> about</c>

00:08:47.100 --> 00:08:51.080
the<00:08:47.399><c> Abrahams,</c><00:08:47.899><c> the</c><00:08:48.120><c> Davids,</c><00:08:48.519><c> the</c><00:08:48.620><c> great</c><00:08:48.860><c> amazing</c><00:08:49.360><c> men</c><00:08:49.740><c> and</c><00:08:50.720><c> women.</c>

00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:53.679
We're<00:08:51.600><c> talking</c><00:08:51.879><c> about</c><00:08:52.120><c> the</c><00:08:52.379><c> people</c><00:08:52.519><c> who</c><00:08:52.679><c> are</c><00:08:52.820><c> often</c><00:08:53.100><c> in</c><00:08:53.419><c> the</c>

00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:55.840
shadows<00:08:54.279><c> with</c><00:08:54.720><c> the</c><00:08:54.879><c> people</c><00:08:55.059><c> with</c><00:08:55.379><c> enormous</c>

00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:57.740

00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:00.779
We<00:08:58.820><c> had</c><00:08:59.059><c> faith</c><00:08:59.259><c> that</c><00:08:59.399><c> was</c><00:08:59.539><c> like</c><00:08:59.759><c> a</c><00:08:59.899><c> mountain.</c>

00:09:00.980 --> 00:09:05.820
Now,<00:09:01.740><c> we</c><00:09:01.940><c> know</c><00:09:02.320><c> that</c><00:09:02.539><c> they</c><00:09:03.200><c> had</c><00:09:03.600><c> faith,</c><00:09:04.759><c> enormous</c><00:09:05.120><c> amounts</c><00:09:05.539><c> of</c>

00:09:05.820 --> 00:09:08.220
faith,<00:09:06.659><c> because</c><00:09:06.820><c> we're</c><00:09:07.059><c> told</c><00:09:07.379><c> repetitively</c>

00:09:08.220 --> 00:09:13.100
in<00:09:08.299><c> this</c><00:09:08.519><c> chapter,</c><00:09:08.820><c> did</c><00:09:09.039><c> you</c><00:09:09.200><c> notice</c><00:09:09.440><c> it,</c><00:09:10.240><c> that</c><00:09:10.620><c> Jesus</c><00:09:11.360><c> loved</c><00:09:12.179><c> them.</c>

00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.379
Jesus<00:09:14.059><c> loved</c><00:09:14.379><c> them</c><00:09:14.779><c> and</c><00:09:15.159><c> they</c><00:09:15.639><c> loved</c><00:09:16.019><c> him.</c>

00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:19.559
There<00:09:16.820><c> was</c><00:09:17.019><c> a</c><00:09:17.379><c> mutual</c><00:09:17.879><c> love</c><00:09:18.440><c> there.</c>

00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:23.960
Verse<00:09:20.899><c> one</c><00:09:21.279><c> and</c><00:09:21.440><c> verse</c><00:09:21.740><c> two</c><00:09:22.299><c> sets</c><00:09:22.639><c> a</c><00:09:22.779><c> bit</c><00:09:22.879><c> of</c><00:09:23.159><c> context</c><00:09:23.559><c> to</c><00:09:23.820><c> us</c>

00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:25.419
there,<00:09:24.279><c> shows</c><00:09:24.500><c> that</c><00:09:24.679><c> they</c><00:09:24.899><c> actually</c><00:09:25.179><c> had</c>

00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:36.200
Jesus<00:09:33.720><c> didn't</c><00:09:33.960><c> care</c><00:09:34.259><c> very</c><00:09:34.559><c> much</c><00:09:34.759><c> about</c><00:09:35.000><c> these</c><00:09:35.259><c> people</c><00:09:35.539><c> because</c><00:09:35.879><c> he</c><00:09:36.019><c> got</c>

00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:38.059
to<00:09:36.340><c> them</c><00:09:36.480><c> when</c><00:09:36.620><c> he</c><00:09:36.720><c> was</c><00:09:36.940><c> ready.</c>

00:09:38.779 --> 00:09:42.259
Well,<00:09:38.919><c> no,</c><00:09:39.059><c> Jesus</c><00:09:39.299><c> very</c><00:09:39.659><c> much</c><00:09:39.940><c> did</c><00:09:40.220><c> care</c><00:09:40.519><c> about</c><00:09:40.759><c> them.</c>

00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:44.919
And<00:09:43.720><c> that's</c><00:09:43.980><c> what</c><00:09:44.100><c> we've</c><00:09:44.360><c> got</c><00:09:44.399><c> to</c><00:09:44.659><c> learn.</c>

00:09:45.220 --> 00:09:48.059
It's<00:09:45.480><c> all</c><00:09:45.679><c> in</c><00:09:45.799><c> the</c><00:09:46.019><c> right</c><00:09:46.200><c> time</c><00:09:46.879><c> and</c><00:09:47.279><c> order.</c>

00:09:48.139 --> 00:09:51.559
Now,<00:09:48.559><c> verse</c><00:09:48.559><c> three</c><00:09:48.700><c> tells</c><00:09:49.019><c> us</c><00:09:49.279><c> that</c><00:09:49.320><c> when</c><00:09:49.539><c> something</c><00:09:49.820><c> goes</c><00:09:50.179><c> wrong,</c><00:09:50.759><c> you</c><00:09:50.860><c> turn</c><00:09:51.259><c> to</c>

00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:56.000
That's<00:09:55.419><c> verse</c><00:09:55.580><c> three.</c>

00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:02.500
Therefore,<00:09:57.320><c> when</c><00:09:57.559><c> his</c><00:09:57.879><c> sisters</c><00:09:58.240><c> sent</c><00:09:58.639><c> unto</c><00:09:58.980><c> him</c><00:09:59.379><c> saying,</c><00:10:00.600><c> Lord,</c><00:10:01.200><c> behold,</c><00:10:02.320><c> he</c>

00:10:02.500 --> 00:10:05.360
whom<00:10:02.639><c> thou</c><00:10:02.960><c> lovest</c><00:10:03.379><c> is</c><00:10:04.379><c> sick.</c>

00:10:06.500 --> 00:10:08.879
Now,<00:10:07.139><c> I</c><00:10:07.179><c> want</c><00:10:07.240><c> you</c><00:10:07.379><c> to</c><00:10:07.399><c> look</c><00:10:07.539><c> very</c><00:10:07.980><c> carefully</c><00:10:08.279><c> at</c><00:10:08.419><c> what</c><00:10:08.600><c> those</c>

00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:12.399
sisters<00:10:09.460><c> said</c><00:10:10.299><c> and</c><00:10:11.679><c> also</c><00:10:12.000><c> what</c><00:10:12.139><c> they</c>

00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:14.600
did<00:10:12.659><c> not</c><00:10:13.559><c> say.</c>

00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:18.320
What<00:10:16.000><c> they</c><00:10:16.299><c> said,</c><00:10:16.639><c> but</c><00:10:16.820><c> also</c><00:10:17.159><c> what</c><00:10:17.340><c> they</c><00:10:17.740><c> didn't</c><00:10:18.039><c> say.</c>

00:10:18.500 --> 00:10:20.600
Because<00:10:18.620><c> they</c><00:10:18.899><c> send</c><00:10:19.019><c> a</c><00:10:19.179><c> message</c><00:10:19.440><c> to</c><00:10:19.620><c> the</c><00:10:19.720><c> Lord</c><00:10:19.879><c> Jesus</c><00:10:20.220><c> Christ</c>

00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:22.580
and<00:10:20.879><c> it's</c><00:10:21.100><c> a</c><00:10:21.179><c> very</c><00:10:21.500><c> simple</c><00:10:22.019><c> message.</c>

00:10:22.580 --> 00:10:27.379
Lord,<00:10:25.100><c> he</c><00:10:25.399><c> who</c><00:10:25.559><c> you</c><00:10:25.840><c> love</c><00:10:26.039><c> is</c><00:10:26.340><c> sick.</c>

00:10:28.980 --> 00:10:30.000
Simple.

00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:32.100
It's<00:10:31.080><c> understated.</c>

00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:34.860
But<00:10:32.299><c> the</c><00:10:32.440><c> most</c><00:10:32.679><c> important</c><00:10:33.100><c> thing</c><00:10:33.279><c> is</c><00:10:33.480><c> it</c><00:10:33.600><c> does</c><00:10:34.039><c> not</c><00:10:34.279><c> make</c><00:10:34.559><c> a</c>

00:10:34.860 --> 00:10:36.559
demand<00:10:35.259><c> upon</c><00:10:35.519><c> the</c><00:10:35.779><c> Lord.</c>

00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:41.720
I'll<00:10:39.200><c> admit,</c><00:10:39.419><c> if</c><00:10:39.559><c> it</c><00:10:39.700><c> was</c><00:10:39.879><c> me</c><00:10:40.120><c> praying</c><00:10:40.419><c> that,</c><00:10:40.840><c> it'd</c><00:10:41.100><c> be</c><00:10:41.200><c> something</c><00:10:41.440><c> more</c>

00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:43.120
along<00:10:41.960><c> the</c><00:10:42.139><c> lines</c><00:10:42.340><c> of,</c><00:10:43.120><c> Lord,</c>

00:10:43.379 --> 00:10:44.200
Lazarus<00:10:43.679><c> is</c><00:10:43.940><c> dying.</c>

00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:45.460
I<00:10:44.399><c> need</c><00:10:44.539><c> you</c><00:10:44.720><c> to</c><00:10:44.919><c> come</c><00:10:45.120><c> now.</c>

00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:46.840
It's<00:10:45.759><c> getting</c><00:10:45.919><c> really</c><00:10:46.419><c> urgent.</c>

00:10:46.899 --> 00:10:50.080
I<00:10:47.100><c> need</c><00:10:47.320><c> you</c><00:10:47.559><c> to</c><00:10:47.759><c> come</c><00:10:47.960><c> and</c><00:10:48.320><c> to</c><00:10:48.720><c> heal</c><00:10:48.980><c> him.</c>

00:10:52.580 --> 00:10:54.419
Let<00:10:52.879><c> me</c><00:10:53.080><c> paraphrase</c><00:10:53.480><c> what</c><00:10:53.620><c> they</c><00:10:53.820><c> said.</c>

00:10:54.860 --> 00:11:00.200
Lord,<00:10:56.100><c> Lazarus,</c><00:10:57.379><c> the</c><00:10:57.500><c> one</c><00:10:57.600><c> you</c><00:10:57.840><c> love,</c><00:10:59.019><c> is</c><00:10:59.220><c> sick.</c>

00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:05.740
We'll<00:11:01.600><c> leave</c><00:11:01.759><c> it</c><00:11:01.980><c> in</c><00:11:02.000><c> your</c><00:11:02.340><c> capable</c><00:11:02.679><c> hands</c><00:11:03.379><c> to</c><00:11:04.559><c> determine</c><00:11:05.220><c> how</c>

00:11:05.740 --> 00:11:07.059
you<00:11:05.960><c> act.</c>

00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:13.360
We'll<00:11:08.980><c> leave</c><00:11:09.100><c> it</c><00:11:09.299><c> in</c><00:11:09.360><c> your</c><00:11:09.600><c> capable</c><00:11:09.960><c> hands</c><00:11:10.460><c> to</c><00:11:10.679><c> decide</c><00:11:11.419><c> what's</c><00:11:12.500><c> best.</c>

00:11:14.659 --> 00:11:20.860
They<00:11:15.120><c> even</c><00:11:15.799><c> said,</c><00:11:16.720><c> he</c><00:11:17.039><c> whom</c><00:11:17.440><c> thou</c><00:11:18.279><c> filialest</c><00:11:19.720><c> is</c><00:11:20.360><c> sick.</c>

00:11:20.860 --> 00:11:23.879
The<00:11:21.480><c> next</c><00:11:21.759><c> verse,</c><00:11:21.980><c> verse</c><00:11:22.200><c> five,</c><00:11:22.559><c> is</c><00:11:22.700><c> saying</c><00:11:23.000><c> agape.</c>

00:11:24.500 --> 00:11:26.700
So<00:11:24.679><c> if</c><00:11:24.720><c> you</c><00:11:24.860><c> want</c><00:11:24.960><c> to</c><00:11:25.100><c> note</c><00:11:25.200><c> the</c><00:11:25.399><c> difference,</c><00:11:25.639><c> it's</c><00:11:25.919><c> interesting</c><00:11:26.279><c> to</c><00:11:26.539><c> think</c>

00:11:26.700 --> 00:11:27.600
about<00:11:26.960><c> it.</c>

00:11:27.899 --> 00:11:31.539
The<00:11:28.100><c> divine</c><00:11:28.860><c> commentator</c><00:11:29.679><c> says</c><00:11:30.159><c> there</c><00:11:30.620><c> was</c><00:11:30.860><c> an</c><00:11:31.179><c> agape.</c>

00:11:31.659 --> 00:11:36.679
There<00:11:31.759><c> was</c><00:11:32.100><c> a</c><00:11:32.320><c> measured,</c><00:11:33.240><c> understood</c><00:11:33.879><c> reason,</c><00:11:34.840><c> sacrificial</c><00:11:35.659><c> love.</c>

00:11:37.059 --> 00:11:39.120
There<00:11:37.200><c> was</c><00:11:37.320><c> a</c><00:11:37.559><c> depth</c><00:11:37.759><c> of</c><00:11:38.000><c> love</c><00:11:38.139><c> there.</c>

00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:41.779
But<00:11:39.500><c> these</c><00:11:39.659><c> sisters</c><00:11:39.919><c> don't</c><00:11:40.200><c> assume</c><00:11:40.500><c> upon</c><00:11:40.799><c> that.</c>

00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:45.899
They<00:11:42.179><c> just</c><00:11:42.399><c> say</c><00:11:42.519><c> that</c><00:11:42.720><c> your</c><00:11:42.879><c> good</c><00:11:43.080><c> friend</c><00:11:43.299><c> Lazarus,</c><00:11:44.320><c> he's</c><00:11:45.080><c> sick.</c>

00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:52.720
You<00:11:48.799><c> know,</c><00:11:49.679><c> I</c><00:11:49.980><c> don't</c><00:11:50.120><c> know</c><00:11:50.240><c> about</c><00:11:50.360><c> you,</c><00:11:50.840><c> but</c><00:11:50.860><c> for</c><00:11:51.200><c> me,</c><00:11:52.100><c> my</c><00:11:52.299><c> prayers</c><00:11:52.500><c> are</c>

00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:54.620
a<00:11:52.799><c> bit</c><00:11:52.899><c> like</c><00:11:53.100><c> that</c><00:11:53.259><c> at</c><00:11:53.419><c> times,</c><00:11:54.059><c> too.</c>

00:11:54.779 --> 00:11:59.000
Sometimes<00:11:55.120><c> our</c><00:11:55.360><c> prayers</c><00:11:55.559><c> come</c><00:11:55.860><c> out</c><00:11:56.759><c> with</c><00:11:57.279><c> this</c><00:11:57.580><c> great</c><00:11:57.779><c> big</c><00:11:58.100><c> long</c><00:11:58.320><c> list</c><00:11:58.720><c> of</c>

00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:00.980
all<00:11:59.299><c> these</c><00:11:59.620><c> things</c><00:11:59.879><c> that</c><00:12:00.100><c> we</c><00:12:00.519><c> want</c>

00:12:00.980 --> 00:12:03.139
and<00:12:01.580><c> what</c><00:12:01.820><c> we</c><00:12:02.179><c> need.</c>

00:12:05.860 --> 00:12:08.980
And<00:12:06.419><c> then</c><00:12:06.620><c> we</c><00:12:06.820><c> wonder</c><00:12:07.100><c> why</c><00:12:07.340><c> they</c><00:12:07.559><c> don't</c><00:12:07.740><c> get</c><00:12:07.960><c> fulfilled.</c>

00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:12.980
We<00:12:10.559><c> wonder</c><00:12:10.740><c> why</c><00:12:10.919><c> we</c><00:12:11.100><c> don't</c><00:12:11.320><c> get</c><00:12:11.600><c> answers</c><00:12:11.960><c> that</c><00:12:12.279><c> materialise</c>

00:12:12.980 --> 00:12:14.799
suddenly<00:12:13.480><c> and</c><00:12:14.059><c> magically</c>

00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:17.039
all<00:12:15.419><c> done</c><00:12:15.639><c> for</c><00:12:15.860><c> us.</c>

00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:19.600
Prayer<00:12:17.639><c> is</c><00:12:18.000><c> not</c><00:12:18.179><c> a</c><00:12:18.379><c> magic</c><00:12:18.659><c> lantern.</c>

00:12:20.779 --> 00:12:24.139
You<00:12:21.159><c> don't</c><00:12:21.559><c> get</c><00:12:21.860><c> what</c><00:12:22.059><c> you're</c><00:12:22.360><c> asked</c><00:12:22.559><c> for</c><00:12:23.080><c> exactly</c><00:12:23.720><c> how</c><00:12:24.000><c> you</c>

00:12:24.139 --> 00:12:27.120
want<00:12:24.419><c> it,</c><00:12:25.100><c> the</c><00:12:25.259><c> way</c><00:12:25.399><c> you</c><00:12:25.620><c> ask</c><00:12:25.860><c> for</c><00:12:26.179><c> it.</c>

00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:30.220
Many<00:12:27.879><c> times,</c><00:12:28.620><c> most</c><00:12:28.960><c> of</c><00:12:29.120><c> the</c><00:12:29.279><c> times.</c>

00:12:34.259 --> 00:12:36.200
I<00:12:34.379><c> want</c><00:12:34.440><c> to</c><00:12:34.440><c> run</c><00:12:34.639><c> through</c><00:12:34.899><c> this</c><00:12:35.299><c> logic,</c><00:12:35.879><c> though,</c><00:12:35.960><c> and</c><00:12:36.059><c> I</c><00:12:36.139><c> want</c>

00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:36.960
you<00:12:36.340><c> to</c><00:12:36.440><c> understand</c><00:12:36.820><c> it</c>

00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:41.080
because<00:12:37.059><c> it</c><00:12:37.320><c> fits</c><00:12:37.519><c> exactly</c><00:12:38.000><c> the</c><00:12:38.340><c> story</c><00:12:38.639><c> of</c><00:12:38.799><c> what</c><00:12:39.039><c> happens</c><00:12:39.360><c> here</c><00:12:39.659><c> with</c><00:12:40.059><c> Mary</c><00:12:40.480><c> and</c><00:12:40.759><c> Martha.</c>

00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:44.840
Our<00:12:42.059><c> prayer</c><00:12:42.519><c> is</c><00:12:42.919><c> always</c><00:12:43.399><c> answered</c><00:12:44.100><c> by</c><00:12:44.659><c> God.</c>

00:12:44.940 --> 00:12:48.419
Or<00:12:45.019><c> should</c><00:12:45.159><c> I</c><00:12:45.340><c> say</c><00:12:45.539><c> our</c><00:12:45.799><c> prayer</c><00:12:46.080><c> is</c><00:12:46.340><c> always</c><00:12:46.799><c> heard</c><00:12:47.159><c> by</c><00:12:47.460><c> God?</c>

00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:52.820
It's<00:12:49.240><c> comprehended</c><00:12:50.000><c> by</c><00:12:50.299><c> God,</c><00:12:50.940><c> and</c><00:12:51.059><c> he</c><00:12:51.220><c> makes</c><00:12:51.500><c> a</c><00:12:51.779><c> decision</c><00:12:52.279><c> on</c>

00:12:52.820 --> 00:12:53.879
how<00:12:53.059><c> he</c><00:12:53.259><c> will</c><00:12:53.500><c> respond.</c>

00:12:53.980 --> 00:12:57.059
And<00:12:54.100><c> God</c><00:12:54.240><c> answers</c><00:12:54.659><c> to</c><00:12:54.899><c> our</c><00:12:55.159><c> prayers</c><00:12:55.440><c> in</c><00:12:56.019><c> one</c><00:12:56.220><c> of</c><00:12:56.460><c> three</c><00:12:56.720><c> ways.</c>

00:12:57.159 --> 00:13:02.940
He<00:12:57.259><c> says</c><00:12:57.580><c> yes,</c><00:12:58.759><c> he</c><00:12:58.899><c> says</c><00:12:59.240><c> no,</c><00:13:00.419><c> or</c><00:13:00.600><c> he</c><00:13:00.860><c> says</c><00:13:01.659><c> wait.</c>

00:13:05.980 --> 00:13:07.779
Let<00:13:06.200><c> me</c><00:13:06.379><c> think</c><00:13:06.559><c> about</c><00:13:06.779><c> that</c><00:13:07.000><c> a</c><00:13:07.100><c> little</c><00:13:07.259><c> bit</c><00:13:07.440><c> further.</c>

00:13:07.779 --> 00:13:13.039
The<00:13:08.600><c> yes</c><00:13:08.899><c> means</c><00:13:09.500><c> God</c><00:13:10.120><c> has</c><00:13:10.480><c> given</c><00:13:10.759><c> you</c><00:13:11.179><c> what</c><00:13:11.580><c> you</c><00:13:12.139><c> wanted.</c>

00:13:13.700 --> 00:13:15.700
And<00:13:13.960><c> we</c><00:13:14.039><c> get</c><00:13:14.179><c> all</c><00:13:14.320><c> excited</c><00:13:14.580><c> about</c><00:13:14.799><c> that</c><00:13:15.019><c> because</c><00:13:15.240><c> we've</c><00:13:15.580><c> got</c>

00:13:15.700 --> 00:13:16.799
what<00:13:15.899><c> we</c><00:13:16.200><c> thought</c><00:13:16.320><c> we</c><00:13:16.580><c> wanted</c>

00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:18.580
and<00:13:16.960><c> what</c><00:13:17.100><c> we</c><00:13:17.320><c> thought</c><00:13:17.460><c> was</c><00:13:17.639><c> going</c><00:13:17.720><c> to</c><00:13:17.779><c> be</c><00:13:17.919><c> good</c><00:13:18.059><c> and</c><00:13:18.179><c> what</c><00:13:18.340><c> we</c>

00:13:18.580 --> 00:13:19.580
thought<00:13:18.679><c> was</c><00:13:18.860><c> going</c><00:13:18.980><c> to</c><00:13:19.059><c> be</c><00:13:19.259><c> best.</c>

00:13:19.940 --> 00:13:23.840
But<00:13:20.100><c> the</c><00:13:20.279><c> reality</c><00:13:20.700><c> is</c><00:13:21.320><c> when</c><00:13:21.620><c> God</c><00:13:21.860><c> answers</c><00:13:22.139><c> our</c><00:13:22.519><c> prayer</c><00:13:22.820><c> with</c><00:13:23.100><c> a</c><00:13:23.340><c> no,</c>

00:13:24.179 --> 00:13:27.379
it's<00:13:24.299><c> because</c><00:13:24.639><c> God</c><00:13:24.940><c> has</c><00:13:25.200><c> actually</c><00:13:25.559><c> got</c><00:13:25.740><c> a</c><00:13:25.980><c> better</c><00:13:26.240><c> plan</c><00:13:26.779><c> than</c>

00:13:27.379 --> 00:13:28.700
what<00:13:27.639><c> we're</c><00:13:27.960><c> praying.</c>

00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:32.840
And<00:13:31.080><c> sometimes</c><00:13:31.419><c> he</c><00:13:31.639><c> says</c><00:13:31.840><c> I</c><00:13:31.960><c> want</c><00:13:32.159><c> you</c><00:13:32.320><c> to</c><00:13:32.600><c> wait</c>

00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:37.320
because<00:13:33.220><c> I've</c><00:13:33.519><c> got</c><00:13:33.740><c> something</c><00:13:34.399><c> just</c><00:13:35.100><c> as</c><00:13:35.379><c> good,</c><00:13:35.539><c> if</c><00:13:35.679><c> not</c><00:13:35.879><c> better,</c><00:13:36.279><c> as</c><00:13:36.500><c> well.</c>

00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:40.720
But<00:13:39.059><c> we</c><00:13:39.259><c> don't</c><00:13:39.500><c> think</c><00:13:39.720><c> about</c><00:13:40.000><c> prayer</c><00:13:40.200><c> like</c><00:13:40.480><c> that.</c>

00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:44.000
We<00:13:41.100><c> spend</c><00:13:41.360><c> all</c><00:13:41.559><c> of</c><00:13:41.679><c> our</c><00:13:41.879><c> time</c><00:13:42.039><c> up</c><00:13:42.360><c> here</c><00:13:42.740><c> in</c><00:13:43.299><c> this</c><00:13:43.580><c> first</c><00:13:43.820><c> one</c>

00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:47.139
and<00:13:44.159><c> decide</c><00:13:44.500><c> whether</c><00:13:44.720><c> God</c><00:13:44.980><c> did</c><00:13:45.200><c> or</c><00:13:45.340><c> did</c><00:13:45.559><c> not</c><00:13:45.740><c> answer</c><00:13:46.080><c> our</c><00:13:46.320><c> prayer.</c>

00:13:49.700 --> 00:13:55.019
This<00:13:50.179><c> is</c><00:13:50.379><c> why</c><00:13:50.519><c> we</c><00:13:50.779><c> feel</c><00:13:51.019><c> that</c><00:13:51.240><c> our</c><00:13:53.059><c> prayers</c><00:13:53.299><c> are</c><00:13:53.600><c> not</c><00:13:53.740><c> getting</c><00:13:54.019><c> answered.</c>

00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:58.820
It's<00:13:57.139><c> because</c><00:13:57.340><c> they're</c><00:13:57.519><c> not</c><00:13:57.639><c> getting</c><00:13:57.919><c> answered</c><00:13:58.220><c> the</c><00:13:58.379><c> way</c><00:13:58.519><c> we</c>

00:13:58.820 --> 00:14:01.340
want<00:13:59.000><c> them</c><00:13:59.620><c> to</c><00:13:59.919><c> be</c><00:14:00.100><c> answered.</c>

00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:07.659
And<00:14:03.440><c> sometimes</c><00:14:03.700><c> that's</c><00:14:03.980><c> because</c><00:14:04.200><c> our</c><00:14:04.480><c> little</c><00:14:04.700><c> minds</c><00:14:05.320><c> are</c><00:14:07.379><c> so</c>

00:14:07.659 --> 00:14:10.720
fixed<00:14:08.159><c> on</c><00:14:09.139><c> the</c><00:14:09.240><c> way</c><00:14:09.340><c> we</c><00:14:09.600><c> see</c><00:14:09.779><c> it</c>

00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:13.659
that<00:14:11.179><c> we</c><00:14:11.360><c> think</c><00:14:11.419><c> that's</c><00:14:11.720><c> the</c><00:14:11.799><c> only</c><00:14:11.919><c> option,</c><00:14:13.320><c> that</c><00:14:13.379><c> that's</c><00:14:13.600><c> the</c>

00:14:13.659 --> 00:14:15.000
only<00:14:13.779><c> way</c><00:14:13.879><c> it</c><00:14:13.899><c> could</c><00:14:14.039><c> be</c><00:14:14.179><c> done.</c>

00:14:15.460 --> 00:14:17.139
It's<00:14:15.759><c> the</c><00:14:15.860><c> obvious</c><00:14:16.059><c> option.</c>

00:14:18.340 --> 00:14:23.419
The<00:14:18.820><c> reality</c><00:14:19.200><c> is</c><00:14:19.480><c> we're</c><00:14:19.740><c> actually</c><00:14:20.600><c> creating</c><00:14:21.580><c> a</c><00:14:21.840><c> limit</c><00:14:22.320><c> in</c><00:14:23.179><c> our</c>

00:14:23.419 --> 00:14:26.480
minds<00:14:23.960><c> for</c><00:14:24.960><c> the</c><00:14:25.159><c> greatness</c><00:14:25.360><c> of</c><00:14:25.580><c> our</c><00:14:25.740><c> God.</c>

00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:28.860
We're<00:14:27.120><c> telling</c><00:14:27.179><c> him</c><00:14:27.340><c> how</c><00:14:27.580><c> we</c><00:14:27.899><c> think</c><00:14:28.100><c> that</c><00:14:28.279><c> it</c><00:14:28.419><c> should</c><00:14:28.559><c> be</c><00:14:28.740><c> done</c>

00:14:28.860 --> 00:14:30.100
and<00:14:28.980><c> how</c><00:14:29.120><c> we</c><00:14:29.299><c> want</c><00:14:29.440><c> him</c><00:14:29.639><c> to</c><00:14:29.799><c> do</c><00:14:29.879><c> it.</c>

00:14:30.179 --> 00:14:33.039
And<00:14:30.299><c> do</c><00:14:30.379><c> you</c><00:14:30.379><c> know,</c><00:14:30.419><c> he's</c><00:14:30.679><c> bigger</c><00:14:30.860><c> than</c><00:14:31.039><c> that.</c><00:14:32.299><c> He</c><00:14:32.480><c> really</c><00:14:32.740><c> is.</c>

00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:37.279
Why<00:14:33.720><c> don't</c><00:14:34.059><c> we</c><00:14:34.379><c> step</c><00:14:34.620><c> back</c><00:14:34.879><c> and</c><00:14:35.000><c> let</c><00:14:35.259><c> him</c><00:14:35.700><c> sort</c><00:14:36.080><c> it</c><00:14:36.399><c> out?</c>

00:14:40.980 --> 00:14:43.840
He's<00:14:41.460><c> got</c><00:14:41.559><c> the</c><00:14:41.679><c> whole</c><00:14:41.860><c> world</c><00:14:42.039><c> in</c><00:14:42.200><c> his</c><00:14:42.460><c> hands,</c><00:14:42.779><c> doesn't</c><00:14:42.960><c> he?</c>

00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:48.460
No<00:14:44.879><c> more.</c><00:14:45.519><c> We</c><00:14:45.659><c> went</c><00:14:45.840><c> to</c><00:14:46.000><c> the</c><00:14:46.139><c> planetarium</c><00:14:46.559><c> last</c><00:14:46.820><c> week</c><00:14:47.340><c> and</c><00:14:48.299><c> we</c>

00:14:48.460 --> 00:14:50.620
saw<00:14:48.559><c> how</c><00:14:48.779><c> big</c><00:14:48.899><c> the</c><00:14:49.159><c> universe</c><00:14:49.419><c> is.</c>

00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:54.759
He<00:14:51.440><c> has</c><00:14:51.659><c> it</c><00:14:51.860><c> in</c><00:14:52.019><c> his</c><00:14:52.320><c> hand,</c><00:14:52.759><c> the</c><00:14:52.940><c> Scripture</c><00:14:53.159><c> tells</c><00:14:53.419><c> us.</c>

00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:57.960
And<00:14:55.500><c> he</c><00:14:55.620><c> calls</c><00:14:55.960><c> each</c><00:14:56.480><c> star</c><00:14:56.740><c> by</c><00:14:57.019><c> name.</c>

00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:02.340
And<00:14:58.539><c> he</c><00:14:58.620><c> holds</c><00:14:58.879><c> them</c><00:14:59.080><c> all</c><00:14:59.279><c> there</c><00:15:00.019><c> in</c><00:15:01.279><c> control.</c>

00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:07.379
Surely<00:15:03.960><c> he's</c><00:15:04.179><c> big</c><00:15:04.440><c> enough</c><00:15:04.899><c> to</c><00:15:06.000><c> control</c><00:15:06.379><c> the</c><00:15:06.700><c> circumstances</c>

00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:10.759
We've<00:15:09.559><c> got</c><00:15:09.580><c> to</c><00:15:09.720><c> think</c><00:15:09.899><c> about</c><00:15:10.159><c> that</c><00:15:10.320><c> and</c><00:15:10.379><c> we've</c><00:15:10.500><c> got</c><00:15:10.559><c> to</c><00:15:10.659><c> get</c>

00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:11.679
life<00:15:10.960><c> into</c><00:15:11.179><c> perspective</c>

00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:13.840
because<00:15:12.019><c> that's</c><00:15:12.340><c> what</c><00:15:12.519><c> Paul's</c><00:15:13.019><c> telling</c><00:15:13.120><c> us</c><00:15:13.360><c> in</c><00:15:13.519><c> Philippians</c>

00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:14.559
chapter<00:15:14.080><c> 4.</c>

00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:18.080
He's<00:15:15.019><c> saying,</c><00:15:15.759><c> don't</c><00:15:15.860><c> be</c><00:15:16.120><c> anxious</c><00:15:16.700><c> about</c><00:15:17.340><c> the</c><00:15:17.600><c> little</c><00:15:17.779><c> issues</c>

00:15:19.539 --> 00:15:21.639

00:15:37.259 --> 00:15:39.039
It's<00:15:37.740><c> about</c><00:15:37.879><c> making</c><00:15:38.220><c> a</c><00:15:38.460><c> request</c><00:15:38.659><c> to</c><00:15:38.860><c> God.</c>

00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:44.200
It's<00:15:39.620><c> about</c><00:15:39.899><c> begging</c><00:15:40.980><c> God,</c><00:15:42.419><c> pleading</c><00:15:42.940><c> with</c><00:15:43.279><c> him.</c>

But<00:15:45.259><c> I</c><00:15:45.379><c> want</c><00:15:45.460><c> to</c><00:15:45.600><c> qualify</c><00:15:45.960><c> that</c><00:15:46.539><c> because</c><00:15:47.320><c> as</c><00:15:47.559><c> much</c><00:15:47.820><c> as</c><00:15:48.139><c> prayer</c>

00:15:55.320 --> 00:15:59.200
Faith<00:15:55.799><c> is</c><00:15:56.080><c> what</c><00:15:56.320><c> leaves</c><00:15:56.700><c> it</c><00:15:57.000><c> in</c><00:15:57.179><c> his</c><00:15:57.519><c> capable</c><00:15:58.000><c> hands</c><00:15:58.539><c> to</c><00:15:58.860><c> act,</c>

00:16:06.419 --> 00:16:08.879
It's<00:16:06.940><c> a</c><00:16:06.940><c> fundamental</c><00:16:07.480><c> difference.</c>

00:16:10.100 --> 00:16:14.360
Faith<00:16:10.399><c> is</c><00:16:10.919><c> leaving</c><00:16:11.299><c> it</c><00:16:11.659><c> there</c><00:16:12.039><c> for</c><00:16:12.600><c> God</c><00:16:12.899><c> to</c><00:16:13.179><c> do</c><00:16:13.360><c> what</c><00:16:13.759><c> he</c><00:16:14.039><c> wants</c>

to<00:16:14.600><c> do.</c>

00:16:15.019 --> 00:16:16.980
Now,<00:16:15.220><c> can</c><00:16:15.360><c> you</c><00:16:15.480><c> see</c><00:16:15.620><c> how</c><00:16:15.840><c> the</c><00:16:16.059><c> sisters</c><00:16:16.299><c> did</c><00:16:16.480><c> that</c><00:16:16.659><c> in</c><00:16:16.799><c> their</c>

00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:20.700
You<00:16:19.899><c> think</c><00:16:20.019><c> about</c><00:16:20.220><c> this</c><00:16:20.460><c> story.</c>

00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:23.360
What<00:16:21.200><c> did</c><00:16:21.399><c> those</c><00:16:21.659><c> sisters</c><00:16:22.039><c> want?</c>

00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:30.139
It's<00:16:29.679><c> not</c><00:16:29.860><c> hard.</c>

00:16:30.500 --> 00:16:33.460
They<00:16:30.679><c> wanted</c><00:16:30.980><c> Lazarus</c><00:16:31.299><c> to</c><00:16:31.460><c> be</c><00:16:31.580><c> healthy</c><00:16:31.899><c> again,</c><00:16:32.220><c> didn't</c><00:16:32.379><c> they?</c>

00:16:34.620 --> 00:16:37.039
They<00:16:35.100><c> wanted</c><00:16:35.379><c> Lazarus</c><00:16:35.700><c> to</c><00:16:35.799><c> be</c><00:16:35.940><c> healthy</c><00:16:36.259><c> so</c><00:16:36.519><c> that</c><00:16:36.700><c> life</c><00:16:36.840><c> could</c>

00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:37.600
go<00:16:37.200><c> on</c><00:16:37.360><c> again.</c>

00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:38.580
That's<00:16:37.960><c> what</c><00:16:38.059><c> they</c><00:16:38.240><c> wanted.</c>

00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:42.440
Well,<00:16:39.039><c> the</c><00:16:39.179><c> Lord</c><00:16:39.360><c> Jesus</c><00:16:39.740><c> Christ</c><00:16:40.039><c> prescribed</c><00:16:40.559><c> in</c><00:16:40.919><c> his</c><00:16:41.220><c> love</c><00:16:41.399><c> that</c><00:16:41.539><c> Lazarus</c><00:16:41.919><c> needs</c><00:16:42.159><c> to</c>

00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:43.179
die<00:16:42.720><c> first</c>

00:16:43.179 --> 00:16:46.480
and<00:16:43.700><c> then</c><00:16:44.419><c> you</c><00:16:44.879><c> can</c><00:16:45.059><c> have</c><00:16:45.200><c> him</c><00:16:45.399><c> back.</c>

00:16:48.059 --> 00:16:49.259
What<00:16:48.200><c> was</c><00:16:48.399><c> best?</c>

00:16:52.259 --> 00:16:54.899
I'm<00:16:52.740><c> sure</c><00:16:52.820><c> we</c><00:16:52.960><c> all</c><00:16:53.100><c> agree</c><00:16:53.279><c> that</c><00:16:53.500><c> Christ's</c><00:16:53.740><c> way</c><00:16:53.759><c> was</c><00:16:54.000><c> best.</c>

00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:58.299
It<00:16:55.320><c> was</c><00:16:55.539><c> painful.</c><00:16:56.240><c> I'm</c><00:16:56.500><c> not</c><00:16:56.740><c> denying</c><00:16:57.159><c> that.</c>

00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:03.419
It<00:16:58.940><c> can</c><00:16:59.399><c> be</c><00:16:59.679><c> painful</c><00:17:00.059><c> and</c><00:17:00.360><c> life</c><00:17:00.580><c> does</c><00:17:00.860><c> get</c><00:17:01.139><c> dark</c><00:17:01.399><c> and</c><00:17:01.679><c> difficult</c><00:17:02.039><c> at</c><00:17:02.299><c> times,</c>

00:17:04.299 --> 00:17:06.539
but<00:17:04.900><c> he's</c><00:17:05.160><c> got</c><00:17:05.339><c> it.</c>

00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:08.460
He's<00:17:07.019><c> got</c><00:17:07.119><c> it</c><00:17:07.240><c> under</c><00:17:07.480><c> control.</c>

00:17:08.619 --> 00:17:11.559
He's<00:17:08.859><c> got</c><00:17:09.019><c> a</c><00:17:09.259><c> plan</c><00:17:09.599><c> for</c><00:17:10.299><c> our</c><00:17:10.599><c> lives.</c>

00:17:14.099 --> 00:17:15.980
They're<00:17:14.299><c> big</c><00:17:14.440><c> concepts</c><00:17:14.880><c> that</c><00:17:15.059><c> we</c><00:17:15.180><c> need</c><00:17:15.299><c> to</c><00:17:15.460><c> think</c><00:17:15.619><c> about,</c>

00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:20.000
but<00:17:16.680><c> best</c><00:17:17.279><c> is</c><00:17:18.400><c> something</c><00:17:18.660><c> that</c><00:17:18.880><c> we</c><00:17:19.039><c> need</c><00:17:19.160><c> to</c><00:17:19.380><c> lift</c><00:17:19.519><c> our</c><00:17:19.839><c> mind</c>

00:17:30.460 --> 00:17:32.720
Because<00:17:30.900><c> what</c><00:17:31.079><c> was</c><00:17:31.220><c> the</c><00:17:31.359><c> outcome</c><00:17:31.559><c> in</c><00:17:31.720><c> this</c><00:17:31.859><c> chapter?</c>

00:17:34.180 --> 00:17:36.960
Yes,<00:17:34.720><c> Lazarus</c><00:17:35.000><c> is</c><00:17:35.160><c> healthy</c><00:17:35.480><c> again.</c>

00:17:47.900 --> 00:17:49.940
They<00:17:48.059><c> got</c><00:17:48.279><c> challenged</c><00:17:48.779><c> in</c><00:17:48.960><c> their</c><00:17:49.220><c> faith</c><00:17:49.400><c> to</c><00:17:49.579><c> have</c><00:17:49.599><c> to</c><00:17:49.720><c> go</c><00:17:49.799><c> up</c>

00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:58.839
There<00:17:55.779><c> was</c><00:17:55.900><c> also</c><00:17:56.200><c> a</c><00:17:56.220><c> whole</c><00:17:56.440><c> load</c><00:17:56.599><c> of</c><00:17:56.779><c> mourners</c><00:17:57.140><c> whose</c><00:17:58.480><c> faith</c>

00:20:15.019 --> 00:20:17.299
This<00:20:15.359><c> sickness</c><00:20:15.680><c> is</c><00:20:15.940><c> not</c><00:20:16.059><c> unto</c><00:20:16.259><c> death.</c>

00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:19.700
All<00:20:19.440><c> right.</c>

00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:22.140
When<00:20:20.039><c> was</c><00:20:20.240><c> that</c><00:20:20.500><c> messenger</c><00:20:20.799><c> sent,</c><00:20:21.400><c> and</c><00:20:21.640><c> when</c><00:20:21.799><c> did</c><00:20:21.920><c> that</c>

00:20:22.140 --> 00:20:23.299
messenger<00:20:22.400><c> return?</c>

00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:24.720
I'm<00:20:24.099><c> going</c><00:20:24.180><c> to</c><00:20:24.299><c> talk</c><00:20:24.460><c> to</c><00:20:24.640><c> him.</c>

00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:25.640
Come<00:20:24.819><c> on.</c>

00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:27.240
Give<00:20:25.960><c> me</c><00:20:26.059><c> your</c><00:20:26.299><c> response.</c>

00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:28.799
I'm<00:20:27.819><c> going</c><00:20:27.920><c> to</c><00:20:27.920><c> have</c><00:20:27.940><c> a</c><00:20:28.000><c> drink.</c>

00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:31.559
When<00:20:30.259><c> was</c><00:20:30.460><c> the</c><00:20:30.599><c> messenger</c><00:20:30.720><c> sent?</c>

00:20:34.940 --> 00:20:36.859
All<00:20:35.460><c> day</c><00:20:35.980><c> one.</c>

00:20:37.220 --> 00:20:38.440
Up<00:20:37.400><c> here.</c>

00:20:40.579 --> 00:20:41.680
Is<00:20:40.660><c> that</c><00:20:40.839><c> right?</c>

00:20:41.700 --> 00:20:42.559
Do<00:20:41.779><c> we</c><00:20:41.920><c> agree</c><00:20:42.079><c> with</c><00:20:42.200><c> that?</c>

00:20:42.740 --> 00:20:43.180
Some<00:20:42.880><c> response.</c>

00:20:43.299 --> 00:20:43.480
Go<00:20:43.339><c> on.</c>

00:20:43.500 --> 00:20:45.059
Something<00:20:43.759><c> from</c><00:20:43.920><c> the</c><00:20:44.099><c> front</c><00:20:44.220><c> poll.</c>

00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:46.799
Do<00:20:45.619><c> we</c><00:20:45.819><c> agree?</c>

00:20:46.980 --> 00:20:49.019
Was<00:20:47.200><c> the</c><00:20:47.480><c> messenger</c><00:20:47.720><c> sent</c><00:20:48.000><c> up</c><00:20:48.259><c> there</c><00:20:48.460><c> at</c><00:20:48.640><c> day</c><00:20:48.880><c> one?</c>

00:20:49.019 --> 00:20:52.480
Yes,<00:20:49.279><c> he</c><00:20:49.539><c> was,</c><00:20:49.839><c> because</c><00:20:50.140><c> the</c><00:20:50.400><c> messenger</c><00:20:50.720><c> would</c><00:20:51.099><c> not</c><00:20:51.339><c> have</c><00:20:51.539><c> been</c><00:20:51.880><c> sent</c><00:20:52.140><c> to</c>

00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:54.799
save<00:20:52.799><c> he</c><00:20:53.200><c> whom</c><00:20:53.380><c> our</c><00:20:53.599><c> lovers</c><00:20:53.799><c> did</c><00:20:54.039><c> sick</c>

00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:57.180
if<00:20:55.519><c> Lazarus</c><00:20:55.839><c> was</c><00:20:56.039><c> already</c><00:20:56.240><c> dead.</c>

00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:01.099
So<00:20:58.160><c> we</c><00:20:58.400><c> know</c><00:20:58.839><c> that</c><00:20:59.039><c> the</c><00:20:59.220><c> messenger</c><00:20:59.480><c> was</c><00:20:59.779><c> sent</c><00:21:00.299><c> potentially</c>

00:21:01.099 --> 00:21:03.559
hours<00:21:01.759><c> before</c><00:21:02.539><c> Lazarus</c><00:21:02.880><c> died,</c>

00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:06.039
but<00:21:04.200><c> he</c><00:21:04.359><c> couldn't</c><00:21:04.599><c> have</c><00:21:04.740><c> been</c><00:21:04.859><c> afterwards.</c>

00:21:06.099 --> 00:21:07.599
Happy<00:21:06.359><c> with</c><00:21:06.519><c> that?</c>

00:21:09.299 --> 00:21:11.460
When<00:21:09.480><c> does</c><00:21:09.680><c> the</c><00:21:09.819><c> messenger</c><00:21:10.039><c> return</c><00:21:10.400><c> then?</c>

00:21:12.539 --> 00:21:14.900
Obviously<00:21:13.019><c> after</c><00:21:13.400><c> his</c><00:21:13.619><c> talk</c><00:21:13.779><c> to</c><00:21:13.920><c> the</c><00:21:13.960><c> Lord</c><00:21:14.119><c> Jesus</c><00:21:14.420><c> Christ.</c>

00:21:15.140 --> 00:21:17.420
Now<00:21:15.299><c> the</c><00:21:15.359><c> part</c><00:21:15.480><c> we</c><00:21:15.619><c> don't</c><00:21:15.839><c> know</c><00:21:16.019><c> is</c><00:21:16.180><c> how</c><00:21:16.299><c> long</c><00:21:16.460><c> it</c><00:21:16.460><c> took</c><00:21:16.640><c> the</c><00:21:16.880><c> messenger</c><00:21:17.140><c> to</c>

00:21:17.420 --> 00:21:18.099
find<00:21:17.700><c> Jesus.</c>

00:21:18.299 --> 00:21:19.160
That's<00:21:18.619><c> the</c><00:21:18.660><c> big</c><00:21:18.819><c> question.</c>

00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:19.940
We<00:21:19.240><c> don't</c><00:21:19.480><c> know.</c>

00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:24.339
But<00:21:20.400><c> there's</c><00:21:20.599><c> some</c><00:21:20.960><c> fixed</c><00:21:21.259><c> variables</c><00:21:21.900><c> that</c><00:21:22.640><c> say</c><00:21:22.900><c> the</c><00:21:23.119><c> messenger</c><00:21:23.720><c> would</c><00:21:24.180><c> have,</c>

00:21:24.339 --> 00:21:26.619
after<00:21:24.579><c> he</c><00:21:24.720><c> got</c><00:21:24.900><c> this</c><00:21:25.119><c> wonderful</c><00:21:25.500><c> message</c><00:21:25.859><c> from</c><00:21:26.039><c> Jesus</c><00:21:26.400><c> that</c>

00:21:26.619 --> 00:21:27.819
said<00:21:26.779><c> he's</c><00:21:27.079><c> not</c><00:21:27.299><c> going</c><00:21:27.480><c> to</c><00:21:27.640><c> die,</c>

00:21:27.940 --> 00:21:28.920
it's<00:21:27.940><c> for</c><00:21:28.119><c> God's</c><00:21:28.519><c> glory.</c>

00:21:29.140 --> 00:21:31.880
I'm<00:21:29.440><c> sure</c><00:21:29.599><c> that</c><00:21:29.880><c> messenger</c><00:21:30.180><c> turned</c><00:21:30.579><c> around</c><00:21:30.880><c> and</c><00:21:31.140><c> ran</c><00:21:31.420><c> the</c><00:21:31.579><c> whole</c><00:21:31.740><c> way</c>

00:21:31.880 --> 00:21:32.259
back<00:21:32.099><c> home</c>

00:21:32.259 --> 00:21:35.019
because<00:21:32.420><c> he</c><00:21:32.539><c> had</c><00:21:32.720><c> good</c><00:21:32.980><c> news</c><00:21:33.180><c> to</c><00:21:33.460><c> share</c><00:21:33.740><c> with</c><00:21:34.019><c> the</c><00:21:34.220><c> family.</c>

00:21:35.140 --> 00:21:37.720
So<00:21:35.279><c> I'm</c><00:21:35.460><c> just</c><00:21:35.660><c> going</c><00:21:35.759><c> to</c><00:21:35.839><c> say</c><00:21:36.019><c> he</c><00:21:36.140><c> got</c><00:21:36.319><c> home</c><00:21:36.500><c> that</c><00:21:36.720><c> night.</c>

00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:40.559
I'll<00:21:38.940><c> be</c><00:21:38.980><c> good</c><00:21:39.119><c> with</c><00:21:39.240><c> that.</c>

00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:43.279
Verse<00:21:41.740><c> four,</c><00:21:41.980><c> let's</c><00:21:42.180><c> think</c><00:21:42.380><c> through</c><00:21:42.619><c> the</c><00:21:42.779><c> scenario</c><00:21:43.140><c> of</c>

00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:43.680
what's<00:21:43.539><c> happening,</c>

00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:45.019
because<00:21:43.859><c> there's</c><00:21:44.079><c> two</c><00:21:44.380><c> stories</c><00:21:44.700><c> here.</c>

00:21:45.259 --> 00:21:47.660
We've<00:21:45.539><c> got</c><00:21:45.619><c> to</c><00:21:45.799><c> understand</c><00:21:46.140><c> both</c><00:21:46.460><c> sides</c><00:21:46.779><c> of</c><00:21:46.940><c> these</c><00:21:47.160><c> two</c><00:21:47.400><c> stories.</c>

00:21:47.900 --> 00:21:49.240
Let<00:21:48.079><c> me</c><00:21:48.299><c> relay</c><00:21:48.539><c> the</c><00:21:48.740><c> two</c><00:21:48.940><c> parts.</c>

00:21:49.660 --> 00:21:50.779
Lazarus<00:21:49.940><c> is</c><00:21:50.220><c> really</c><00:21:50.539><c> sick.</c>

00:21:50.779 --> 00:21:52.799
He's<00:21:51.059><c> got</c><00:21:51.180><c> to</c><00:21:51.319><c> the</c><00:21:51.440><c> point</c><00:21:51.539><c> where</c><00:21:51.700><c> he's</c><00:21:52.119><c> desperately</c><00:21:52.420><c> ill.</c>

00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:55.700
And<00:21:53.160><c> so</c><00:21:53.319><c> the</c><00:21:53.579><c> sisters</c><00:21:53.859><c> say,</c><00:21:54.359><c> let's</c><00:21:54.460><c> send</c><00:21:54.640><c> a</c><00:21:54.799><c> message</c><00:21:55.039><c> to</c><00:21:55.259><c> the</c><00:21:55.400><c> Lord.</c>

00:21:56.059 --> 00:21:57.200
Well,<00:21:56.240><c> the</c><00:21:56.359><c> messenger</c><00:21:56.640><c> leaves.</c>

00:21:57.480 --> 00:21:59.740
He<00:21:57.660><c> runs</c><00:21:57.940><c> off</c><00:21:58.140><c> to</c><00:21:58.279><c> go</c><00:21:58.380><c> and</c><00:21:58.579><c> find</c><00:21:58.720><c> the</c><00:21:58.880><c> Lord</c><00:21:59.039><c> Jesus</c><00:21:59.380><c> Christ,</c>

00:21:59.859 --> 00:22:01.480
be<00:21:59.940><c> it</c><00:22:00.140><c> day</c><00:22:00.380><c> one,</c><00:22:00.660><c> be</c><00:22:00.819><c> it</c><00:22:00.940><c> day</c><00:22:01.099><c> two.</c>

00:22:01.579 --> 00:22:03.460
We're<00:22:01.740><c> not</c><00:22:01.980><c> sure</c><00:22:02.160><c> when</c><00:22:02.299><c> it</c><00:22:02.500><c> was</c><00:22:02.640><c> that</c><00:22:02.759><c> he</c><00:22:02.940><c> found</c><00:22:03.099><c> him.</c>

00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:05.000
But<00:22:04.079><c> he</c><00:22:04.259><c> finds</c><00:22:04.579><c> the</c><00:22:04.819><c> Lord.</c>

00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:06.680
He<00:22:05.220><c> delivers</c><00:22:05.700><c> the</c><00:22:05.980><c> message</c><00:22:06.259><c> to</c><00:22:06.440><c> the</c><00:22:06.579><c> Lord.</c>

00:22:07.140 --> 00:22:08.200
It's<00:22:07.539><c> full</c><00:22:07.539><c> of</c><00:22:07.660><c> relief.</c>

00:22:08.700 --> 00:22:09.420
It's<00:22:08.920><c> good</c><00:22:09.099><c> news.</c>

00:22:09.640 --> 00:22:13.119
He<00:22:09.819><c> turns</c><00:22:10.140><c> around</c><00:22:10.420><c> and</c><00:22:10.500><c> he</c><00:22:10.619><c> runs</c><00:22:10.799><c> back</c><00:22:11.039><c> to</c><00:22:11.259><c> Bethany.</c>

00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:20.339
He<00:22:16.700><c> busts</c><00:22:17.000><c> in</c><00:22:17.079><c> the</c><00:22:17.259><c> door</c><00:22:17.980><c> and</c><00:22:19.140><c> blurt</c><00:22:19.339><c> out</c><00:22:19.500><c> the</c><00:22:19.619><c> good</c><00:22:19.799><c> news</c>

00:22:20.339 --> 00:22:25.019
that<00:22:20.740><c> the</c><00:22:20.980><c> Lord</c><00:22:21.259><c> has</c><00:22:21.680><c> said</c><00:22:21.920><c> this</c><00:22:22.220><c> sickness</c><00:22:22.559><c> is</c><00:22:22.940><c> not</c><00:22:23.240><c> unto</c><00:22:23.660><c> death.</c>

00:22:33.380 --> 00:22:35.759
What<00:22:33.980><c> response</c><00:22:34.359><c> do</c><00:22:34.519><c> you</c><00:22:34.539><c> think</c><00:22:34.660><c> he</c><00:22:34.859><c> got?</c>

00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:41.059
Two<00:22:38.180><c> very</c><00:22:38.400><c> blank</c><00:22:38.579><c> looks</c><00:22:39.119><c> from</c><00:22:39.880><c> both</c><00:22:40.099><c> sisters.</c>

00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:44.660
I'm<00:22:43.079><c> sure</c><00:22:43.200><c> it</c><00:22:43.319><c> would</c><00:22:43.480><c> have</c><00:22:43.579><c> been</c><00:22:43.680><c> someone</c><00:22:43.920><c> like</c><00:22:44.359><c> Martha</c>

00:22:44.660 --> 00:22:50.539
who<00:22:44.819><c> would</c><00:22:45.039><c> have</c><00:22:45.259><c> said</c><00:22:46.980><c> Lazarus</c><00:22:49.140><c> is</c><00:22:49.579><c> dead</c>

00:22:50.539 --> 00:22:52.920
and<00:22:50.779><c> we</c><00:22:50.980><c> buried</c><00:22:51.160><c> him</c><00:22:51.400><c> a</c><00:22:51.480><c> few</c><00:22:51.579><c> days</c><00:22:51.839><c> ago.</c>

00:22:52.980 --> 00:22:54.799
Because<00:22:53.059><c> Martha</c><00:22:53.759><c> is</c><00:22:53.900><c> a</c><00:22:54.000><c> very</c><00:22:54.240><c> strong</c><00:22:54.460><c> person.</c>

00:22:54.900 --> 00:22:57.259
She's<00:22:55.039><c> a</c><00:22:55.160><c> very</c><00:22:55.559><c> structured,</c><00:22:56.019><c> very</c><00:22:56.220><c> matter</c><00:22:56.480><c> of</c><00:22:56.640><c> fact</c><00:22:56.799><c> type</c><00:22:57.099><c> of</c>

00:22:57.259 --> 00:22:58.279
a<00:22:57.440><c> personality.</c>

00:23:00.019 --> 00:23:03.339
I<00:23:00.480><c> can</c><00:23:00.640><c> imagine</c><00:23:00.880><c> the</c><00:23:01.099><c> mourners,</c><00:23:01.579><c> all</c><00:23:01.859><c> of</c><00:23:02.000><c> them</c><00:23:02.119><c> in</c><00:23:02.220><c> the</c><00:23:02.359><c> room</c><00:23:02.440><c> going,</c>

00:23:06.380 --> 00:23:08.059
think<00:23:06.859><c> about</c><00:23:07.180><c> it.</c>

00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:11.380
Just<00:23:08.740><c> try</c><00:23:09.000><c> and</c><00:23:09.160><c> grasp</c><00:23:09.599><c> what</c><00:23:10.019><c> that</c><00:23:10.259><c> would</c><00:23:10.400><c> have</c><00:23:10.579><c> been</c><00:23:10.759><c> like.</c>

00:23:11.380 --> 00:23:15.380
Because<00:23:12.220><c> there's</c><00:23:12.599><c> no</c><00:23:12.839><c> other</c><00:23:13.140><c> way</c><00:23:13.640><c> of</c><00:23:14.059><c> understanding</c><00:23:14.579><c> those</c><00:23:14.980><c> words</c>

00:23:15.380 --> 00:23:19.259
that<00:23:15.740><c> this</c><00:23:16.079><c> sickness</c><00:23:16.519><c> is</c><00:23:17.059><c> not</c><00:23:17.640><c> unto</c><00:23:18.140><c> death.</c>

00:23:20.660 --> 00:23:21.880
We<00:23:20.680><c> can</c><00:23:20.859><c> read</c><00:23:20.980><c> that</c><00:23:21.099><c> again</c><00:23:21.319><c> in</c><00:23:21.400><c> verse</c><00:23:21.539><c> four.</c>

00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:23.299
Be<00:23:22.200><c> really</c><00:23:22.460><c> careful.</c>

00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:26.920
This<00:23:23.319><c> sickness</c><00:23:24.059><c> is</c><00:23:24.779><c> not</c><00:23:25.359><c> unto</c><00:23:25.839><c> death,</c>

00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:30.400
but<00:23:27.119><c> for</c><00:23:27.380><c> the</c><00:23:27.599><c> glory</c><00:23:27.839><c> of</c><00:23:28.059><c> God</c><00:23:28.420><c> that</c><00:23:28.900><c> the</c><00:23:29.140><c> Son</c><00:23:29.319><c> of</c><00:23:29.559><c> God</c><00:23:29.799><c> might</c><00:23:30.079><c> be</c>

00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:31.859
glorified<00:23:30.900><c> thereby.</c>

00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:36.259
Mary<00:23:32.720><c> and</c><00:23:32.839><c> Martha,</c><00:23:33.980><c> the</c><00:23:34.160><c> other</c><00:23:34.420><c> people</c><00:23:34.720><c> later</c><00:23:34.980><c> in</c><00:23:35.180><c> around</c><00:23:35.339><c> verses</c><00:23:35.740><c> 38,</c>

00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:37.579
39,<00:23:36.720><c> 40,</c>

00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:39.359
equally<00:23:38.140><c> would</c><00:23:38.359><c> have</c><00:23:38.480><c> drawn</c><00:23:38.559><c> the</c><00:23:38.759><c> same</c><00:23:38.960><c> conclusion</c>

00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:41.180
thinking<00:23:39.660><c> Jesus</c><00:23:39.980><c> is</c><00:23:40.200><c> able</c><00:23:40.400><c> to</c><00:23:40.619><c> heal</c><00:23:40.759><c> people.</c>

00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:42.380
He<00:23:41.539><c> could</c><00:23:41.779><c> have</c><00:23:41.940><c> healed</c><00:23:42.039><c> people.</c>

00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:43.980
So<00:23:42.579><c> if</c><00:23:42.660><c> this</c><00:23:42.819><c> is</c><00:23:42.940><c> going</c><00:23:43.000><c> to</c><00:23:43.079><c> be</c><00:23:43.140><c> for</c><00:23:43.259><c> the</c><00:23:43.400><c> glory</c><00:23:43.559><c> of</c><00:23:43.779><c> God,</c>

00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:45.940
Jesus<00:23:44.480><c> is</c><00:23:44.680><c> going</c><00:23:44.740><c> to</c><00:23:44.859><c> come</c><00:23:44.980><c> down</c><00:23:45.140><c> and</c><00:23:45.339><c> heal</c><00:23:45.460><c> this</c><00:23:45.740><c> man.</c>

00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:49.420
That's<00:23:46.660><c> the</c><00:23:46.720><c> only</c><00:23:47.339><c> bit</c><00:23:47.640><c> of</c><00:23:47.819><c> light</c><00:23:47.980><c> that's</c><00:23:48.160><c> in</c><00:23:48.319><c> that</c><00:23:48.559><c> statement</c>

00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:51.160
if<00:23:49.960><c> you</c><00:23:50.099><c> want</c><00:23:50.180><c> to</c><00:23:50.279><c> look</c><00:23:50.400><c> at</c><00:23:50.480><c> it</c><00:23:50.579><c> that</c><00:23:50.759><c> way.</c>

00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:54.259
But<00:23:51.700><c> the</c><00:23:51.900><c> reality</c><00:23:52.140><c> is</c><00:23:52.400><c> this</c><00:23:52.779><c> statement</c><00:23:53.119><c> on</c><00:23:53.500><c> face</c><00:23:53.740><c> value</c><00:23:54.019><c> says</c>

00:23:54.259 --> 00:23:57.200
the<00:23:54.579><c> sickness</c><00:23:54.900><c> is</c><00:23:55.279><c> not</c><00:23:55.559><c> unto</c><00:23:56.019><c> death.</c>

00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:03.960
Can<00:24:00.980><c> we</c><00:24:01.180><c> just</c><00:24:01.779><c> enter</c><00:24:02.240><c> into</c><00:24:02.539><c> that</c><00:24:02.740><c> for</c><00:24:02.980><c> a</c><00:24:03.119><c> moment?</c>

00:24:04.500 --> 00:24:06.819
Think<00:24:05.140><c> about</c><00:24:05.460><c> what</c><00:24:05.640><c> would</c><00:24:05.839><c> have</c><00:24:05.940><c> gone</c><00:24:06.099><c> through</c><00:24:06.339><c> their</c><00:24:06.579><c> minds</c>

00:24:06.819 --> 00:24:11.400
as<00:24:07.319><c> the</c><00:24:07.579><c> sisters</c><00:24:08.000><c> sat</c><00:24:08.440><c> there</c><00:24:09.039><c> and</c><00:24:09.819><c> the</c><00:24:10.000><c> messenger</c><00:24:10.279><c> comes</c><00:24:10.599><c> in</c>

00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:13.119
and<00:24:11.960><c> says</c><00:24:12.200><c> that</c>

00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:20.160
the<00:24:15.880><c> Lord</c><00:24:16.160><c> must</c><00:24:16.400><c> have</c><00:24:16.559><c> got</c><00:24:16.660><c> this</c><00:24:16.859><c> one</c><00:24:17.019><c> wrong</c><00:24:17.720><c> because</c><00:24:19.700><c> Lazarus</c>

00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:21.380
is<00:24:20.440><c> dead.</c>

00:24:21.420 --> 00:24:24.339
But<00:24:21.779><c> the</c><00:24:21.940><c> Lord</c><00:24:22.519><c> can't</c><00:24:23.119><c> be</c><00:24:23.259><c> wrong.</c>

00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:27.180
But<00:24:25.700><c> Lazarus</c><00:24:26.079><c> is</c><00:24:26.259><c> dead.</c>

00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:28.559
But<00:24:27.819><c> he's</c><00:24:28.099><c> Jesus.</c>

00:24:28.740 --> 00:24:30.359
He's<00:24:29.319><c> the</c><00:24:29.380><c> Son</c><00:24:29.700><c> of</c><00:24:30.099><c> God.</c>

00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:32.440
He<00:24:30.500><c> can't</c><00:24:31.000><c> be</c><00:24:31.319><c> wrong.</c>

00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:38.079
But<00:24:35.380><c> he's</c><00:24:35.559><c> buried</c><00:24:36.019><c> four</c><00:24:36.799><c> days</c><00:24:37.000><c> ago.</c>

00:24:39.859 --> 00:24:41.460
They'd<00:24:40.079><c> sleep</c><00:24:40.339><c> on</c><00:24:40.559><c> it.</c>

00:24:41.740 --> 00:24:43.619
They'd<00:24:42.160><c> brood</c><00:24:42.319><c> on</c><00:24:42.480><c> it.</c>

00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:46.319
They'd<00:24:44.640><c> weep</c><00:24:44.900><c> about</c><00:24:45.140><c> it</c><00:24:45.339><c> more.</c>

00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:53.039
And<00:24:48.319><c> faith</c><00:24:48.640><c> requires</c><00:24:49.400><c> you</c><00:24:49.660><c> and</c><00:24:49.880><c> I</c><00:24:50.059><c> to</c><00:24:50.539><c> believe</c><00:24:51.079><c> the</c><00:24:51.779><c> impossible,</c>

00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:59.839
That's<00:24:56.559><c> a</c><00:24:56.680><c> definition</c><00:24:57.059><c> of</c><00:24:57.259><c> Hebrews</c><00:24:57.500><c> 11</c><00:24:59.240><c> verse</c><00:24:59.579><c> 1.</c>

00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:03.559
Faith<00:25:00.380><c> expects</c><00:25:00.960><c> us</c><00:25:01.299><c> to</c><00:25:01.539><c> believe</c><00:25:01.940><c> the</c><00:25:02.240><c> things</c><00:25:02.440><c> that</c><00:25:02.680><c> we</c><00:25:02.900><c> can't</c><00:25:03.339><c> see,</c>

00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:06.500
the<00:25:03.720><c> things</c><00:25:03.859><c> we</c><00:25:04.059><c> look</c><00:25:04.259><c> at</c><00:25:04.420><c> and</c><00:25:04.579><c> say,</c><00:25:05.319><c> no,</c><00:25:05.779><c> it</c><00:25:05.960><c> just</c><00:25:06.220><c> doesn't</c>

00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:09.839
Faith<00:25:07.539><c> requires</c><00:25:08.180><c> us</c><00:25:08.440><c> to</c><00:25:08.660><c> believe</c><00:25:08.940><c> that.</c>

00:25:09.980 --> 00:25:12.440
And<00:25:10.160><c> these</c><00:25:10.359><c> sisters</c><00:25:10.640><c> are</c><00:25:10.859><c> going</c><00:25:10.980><c> to</c><00:25:11.140><c> be</c><00:25:11.440><c> taught</c><00:25:11.640><c> to</c><00:25:11.940><c> believe</c>

00:25:19.940 --> 00:25:22.460
Well,<00:25:20.420><c> they've</c><00:25:20.720><c> gone</c><00:25:20.799><c> through</c><00:25:20.980><c> all</c><00:25:21.099><c> those</c><00:25:21.200><c> emotions.</c>

00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:34.900
where<00:25:33.119><c> am</c><00:25:33.220><c> I</c><00:25:33.339><c> up</c><00:25:33.480><c> to</c><00:25:33.579><c> in</c><00:25:33.680><c> my</c><00:25:33.779><c> notes?</c>

00:25:38.259 --> 00:25:39.660
Can't<00:25:38.700><c> see</c><00:25:38.819><c> the</c><00:25:39.000><c> verse.</c>

00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:42.319
Jesus<00:25:40.420><c> came</c><00:25:40.900><c> to</c><00:25:41.119><c> Bethany,</c><00:25:41.720><c> verse</c><00:25:42.019><c> 18.</c>

00:25:42.380 --> 00:25:43.140
We'll<00:25:42.539><c> read</c><00:25:42.680><c> from</c><00:25:42.839><c> verse</c><00:25:43.019><c> 18.</c>

00:25:43.220 --> 00:25:44.359
We'll<00:25:43.299><c> pick</c><00:25:43.420><c> it</c><00:25:43.519><c> up</c><00:25:43.599><c> there.</c>

00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:46.960
Now<00:25:44.660><c> Bethany</c><00:25:45.019><c> was</c><00:25:45.240><c> nigh</c><00:25:45.460><c> unto</c><00:25:45.619><c> Jerusalem</c><00:25:46.059><c> about</c><00:25:46.480><c> fifteen</c>

00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:47.839
furlongs<00:25:47.579><c> off,</c>

00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:50.279
and<00:25:48.519><c> many</c><00:25:48.740><c> of</c><00:25:48.920><c> the</c><00:25:48.940><c> Jews</c><00:25:49.119><c> had</c><00:25:49.339><c> come</c><00:25:49.519><c> to</c><00:25:49.700><c> Mary</c><00:25:49.900><c> and</c><00:25:50.099><c> Martha</c>

00:25:50.279 --> 00:25:52.500
to<00:25:50.599><c> comfort</c><00:25:50.740><c> them</c><00:25:51.000><c> concerning</c><00:25:51.359><c> their</c><00:25:51.579><c> brother.</c>

00:25:53.059 --> 00:25:56.480
Then<00:25:53.299><c> Martha,</c><00:25:53.700><c> as</c><00:25:54.140><c> soon</c><00:25:54.519><c> as</c><00:25:54.819><c> she</c><00:25:54.960><c> heard</c><00:25:55.380><c> that</c><00:25:55.599><c> Jesus</c><00:25:55.980><c> was</c><00:25:56.279><c> coming,</c>

00:25:56.559 --> 00:25:57.279
went<00:25:56.720><c> out</c><00:25:56.980><c> to</c><00:25:57.039><c> meet</c><00:25:57.180><c> him.</c>

00:25:57.359 --> 00:25:59.259
I<00:25:57.519><c> was</c><00:25:57.640><c> looking</c><00:25:57.779><c> for</c><00:25:57.880><c> a</c><00:25:57.940><c> different</c><00:25:58.119><c> phrase,</c><00:25:58.339><c> sorry.</c>

00:25:59.380 --> 00:26:02.799
Okay,<00:25:59.680><c> as</c><00:25:59.859><c> soon</c><00:26:00.059><c> as</c><00:26:00.259><c> Martha</c><00:26:00.579><c> hears</c><00:26:01.059><c> that</c><00:26:01.279><c> Jesus</c><00:26:01.619><c> is</c><00:26:01.900><c> coming,</c>

00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:05.079
she's<00:26:04.160><c> out</c><00:26:04.359><c> there</c><00:26:04.480><c> to</c><00:26:04.599><c> meet</c><00:26:04.700><c> him.</c>

00:26:05.420 --> 00:26:08.339
So<00:26:05.720><c> word</c><00:26:05.980><c> comes</c><00:26:06.539><c> that</c><00:26:06.940><c> Jesus</c><00:26:07.359><c> is</c><00:26:07.619><c> coming.</c>

00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:11.279
The<00:26:08.700><c> one</c><00:26:08.819><c> that</c><00:26:08.980><c> you've</c><00:26:09.799><c> made</c><00:26:09.980><c> a</c><00:26:10.200><c> plea</c><00:26:10.339><c> to,</c><00:26:10.660><c> that</c><00:26:10.839><c> he'll</c><00:26:11.059><c> come</c>

00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:12.359
and<00:26:11.500><c> do</c><00:26:11.680><c> something</c><00:26:11.940><c> about,</c>

00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:16.940
he<00:26:12.759><c> sent</c><00:26:12.920><c> the</c><00:26:13.119><c> message</c><00:26:13.460><c> back</c><00:26:13.839><c> saying,</c><00:26:14.359><c> no,</c><00:26:15.759><c> it's</c><00:26:16.099><c> not</c><00:26:16.299><c> going</c><00:26:16.440><c> to</c><00:26:16.519><c> be</c><00:26:16.660><c> a</c><00:26:16.819><c> problem,</c>

00:26:16.980 --> 00:26:18.700
he's<00:26:17.200><c> not</c><00:26:17.440><c> going</c><00:26:17.599><c> to</c><00:26:17.779><c> die.</c>

00:26:19.180 --> 00:26:22.740
What<00:26:19.779><c> would</c><00:26:20.099><c> your</c><00:26:20.440><c> first</c><00:26:20.740><c> reaction</c><00:26:21.200><c> be</c><00:26:21.640><c> when</c><00:26:22.059><c> you</c><00:26:22.380><c> hear</c><00:26:22.539><c> that</c>

00:26:22.740 --> 00:26:24.259
Jesus<00:26:23.039><c> Christ</c><00:26:23.299><c> is</c><00:26:23.519><c> coming?</c>

00:26:24.859 --> 00:26:27.119
Well,<00:26:25.039><c> this</c><00:26:25.200><c> verse</c><00:26:25.420><c> tells</c><00:26:25.619><c> us</c><00:26:25.819><c> two</c><00:26:26.039><c> reactions.</c>

00:26:28.900 --> 00:26:31.400
It<00:26:29.039><c> tells</c><00:26:29.220><c> us</c><00:26:29.380><c> what</c><00:26:29.619><c> Martha</c><00:26:29.880><c> does,</c><00:26:30.559><c> and</c><00:26:30.700><c> it</c><00:26:30.779><c> tells</c><00:26:30.940><c> us</c><00:26:31.099><c> what</c>

00:26:31.400 --> 00:26:33.079
Mary<00:26:31.960><c> does.</c>

00:26:33.099 --> 00:26:37.660
Because<00:26:33.460><c> Martha,</c><00:26:33.920><c> as</c><00:26:34.339><c> soon</c><00:26:34.799><c> as</c><00:26:35.220><c> she</c><00:26:35.619><c> heard</c><00:26:36.180><c> news</c><00:26:36.740><c> that</c><00:26:37.259><c> Jesus</c>

00:26:37.660 --> 00:26:38.220
was<00:26:37.960><c> coming,</c>

00:26:38.460 --> 00:26:41.380
she<00:26:38.700><c> was</c><00:26:38.920><c> up</c><00:26:39.240><c> and</c><00:26:39.519><c> she</c><00:26:39.779><c> went</c><00:26:39.960><c> out</c><00:26:40.279><c> there</c><00:26:40.460><c> to</c><00:26:40.640><c> meet</c><00:26:40.779><c> him,</c>

00:26:41.380 --> 00:26:48.900
in<00:26:42.200><c> contrast</c><00:26:43.099><c> to</c><00:26:43.819><c> Mary,</c><00:26:45.279><c> who</c><00:26:45.539><c> sat</c><00:26:45.839><c> still</c><00:26:46.500><c> in</c><00:26:47.779><c> the</c><00:26:47.960><c> house.</c>

00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:52.740
We've<00:26:49.839><c> got</c><00:26:49.940><c> two</c><00:26:50.240><c> very</c><00:26:50.559><c> different</c><00:26:50.880><c> personalities</c><00:26:51.460><c> in</c><00:26:51.680><c> these</c><00:26:51.880><c> people.</c>

00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:55.119
We<00:26:52.920><c> don't</c><00:26:53.039><c> have</c><00:26:53.200><c> time</c><00:26:53.420><c> to</c><00:26:53.599><c> develop</c><00:26:53.920><c> the</c><00:26:54.359><c> personalities</c><00:26:54.680><c> particularly.</c>

00:26:55.259 --> 00:26:57.640
Our<00:26:55.359><c> next</c><00:26:55.599><c> story</c><00:26:55.740><c> will</c><00:26:55.900><c> pick</c><00:26:56.000><c> it</c><00:26:56.079><c> up</c><00:26:56.200><c> a</c><00:26:56.299><c> little</c><00:26:56.460><c> bit</c><00:26:56.579><c> for</c><00:26:56.759><c> us.</c>

00:26:57.799 --> 00:27:00.839
Two<00:26:58.059><c> very</c><00:26:58.519><c> different</c><00:26:59.019><c> responses</c><00:26:59.640><c> to</c><00:26:59.960><c> the</c><00:27:00.119><c> Lord.</c>

00:27:00.980 --> 00:27:04.880
They<00:27:01.299><c> both</c><00:27:01.660><c> love</c><00:27:01.980><c> the</c><00:27:02.200><c> Lord,</c><00:27:03.200><c> but</c><00:27:03.440><c> their</c><00:27:03.700><c> reactions</c><00:27:04.240><c> are</c><00:27:04.619><c> different.</c>

00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:08.720
I<00:27:05.119><c> think</c><00:27:05.299><c> it</c><00:27:05.420><c> is</c><00:27:05.880><c> wonderful</c><00:27:06.500><c> that</c><00:27:07.440><c> Martha</c><00:27:07.759><c> can</c><00:27:08.079><c> demonstrate</c>

00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:09.140
to<00:27:08.900><c> us</c>

00:27:09.140 --> 00:27:12.900
the<00:27:09.460><c> fact</c><00:27:09.460><c> that</c><00:27:09.660><c> she</c><00:27:09.880><c> still</c><00:27:10.160><c> has</c><00:27:10.440><c> complete</c><00:27:11.259><c> trust</c><00:27:11.980><c> in</c><00:27:12.680><c> the</c><00:27:12.819><c> Lord.</c>

00:27:12.940 --> 00:27:15.079
Now,<00:27:13.079><c> you</c><00:27:13.119><c> might</c><00:27:13.259><c> say,</c><00:27:13.519><c> well,</c><00:27:13.680><c> hey,</c><00:27:13.819><c> she</c><00:27:13.980><c> just</c><00:27:14.140><c> ran</c><00:27:14.299><c> out</c><00:27:14.480><c> to</c><00:27:14.619><c> him.</c>

00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:18.680
What's<00:27:15.700><c> the</c><00:27:15.980><c> first</c><00:27:16.200><c> words</c><00:27:16.519><c> that</c><00:27:16.799><c> come</c><00:27:16.980><c> out</c><00:27:17.319><c> of</c><00:27:17.519><c> her</c><00:27:17.779><c> mouth?</c>

00:27:20.940 --> 00:27:21.960
Lord.

00:27:24.299 --> 00:27:25.319
Lord.

00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:29.200
She<00:27:26.700><c> just</c><00:27:26.960><c> spent</c><00:27:27.160><c> the</c><00:27:27.319><c> last</c><00:27:27.619><c> two</c><00:27:27.900><c> days</c><00:27:28.200><c> facing</c><00:27:28.619><c> the</c><00:27:28.880><c> reality</c>

00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:31.000
that<00:27:29.420><c> he</c><00:27:29.599><c> got</c><00:27:29.779><c> this</c><00:27:30.059><c> one</c><00:27:30.240><c> wrong.</c>

00:27:31.019 --> 00:27:35.119
Lord,<00:27:32.460><c> if</c><00:27:32.740><c> you</c><00:27:33.039><c> had</c><00:27:33.200><c> been</c><00:27:33.480><c> here,</c><00:27:33.799><c> my</c><00:27:34.099><c> brother</c><00:27:34.440><c> had</c><00:27:34.720><c> not</c><00:27:34.960><c> died.</c>

00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:38.200
But<00:27:35.180><c> she</c><00:27:35.460><c> still</c><00:27:35.960><c> has</c><00:27:36.420><c> all</c><00:27:36.700><c> the</c><00:27:36.880><c> faith</c><00:27:37.160><c> in</c><00:27:37.339><c> him</c><00:27:37.579><c> that</c><00:27:37.759><c> she</c><00:27:37.960><c> had</c>

00:27:38.200 --> 00:27:39.759
before<00:27:38.539><c> this</c><00:27:38.740><c> problem.</c>

00:27:41.420 --> 00:27:43.079
It<00:27:41.980><c> hasn't</c><00:27:42.539><c> rocked</c><00:27:42.900><c> her.</c>

00:27:43.099 --> 00:27:47.099
It<00:27:43.240><c> hasn't</c><00:27:43.579><c> changed</c><00:27:43.960><c> her</c><00:27:44.299><c> perception</c><00:27:44.819><c> of</c><00:27:45.400><c> the</c><00:27:45.539><c> Lord</c><00:27:45.700><c> Jesus</c><00:27:46.039><c> Christ.</c>

00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:50.559
I<00:27:47.980><c> think</c><00:27:48.200><c> Mary</c><00:27:48.480><c> was</c><00:27:48.700><c> struggling</c><00:27:49.059><c> with</c><00:27:49.279><c> it</c><00:27:49.400><c> a</c><00:27:49.480><c> little</c><00:27:49.660><c> bit</c><00:27:49.779><c> more.</c>

00:27:50.839 --> 00:27:54.740
Let's<00:27:51.099><c> not</c><00:27:51.299><c> criticise</c><00:27:51.799><c> Mary.</c><00:27:52.500><c> Let's</c><00:27:52.720><c> not</c><00:27:52.920><c> criticise</c><00:27:53.380><c> her</c><00:27:53.599><c> at</c><00:27:53.900><c> all.</c>

00:27:54.900 --> 00:27:57.099
Let's<00:27:55.240><c> think</c><00:27:55.460><c> about</c><00:27:55.720><c> who</c><00:27:55.980><c> we</c><00:27:56.220><c> are.</c>

00:27:57.680 --> 00:27:59.259
Let's<00:27:57.900><c> think</c><00:27:58.099><c> about</c><00:27:58.359><c> her</c><00:27:58.640><c> response.</c>

00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:04.039
Let's<00:27:59.859><c> think</c><00:28:00.039><c> about</c><00:28:00.240><c> what</c><00:28:00.460><c> we</c><00:28:00.740><c> would</c><00:28:00.900><c> do</c><00:28:01.140><c> in</c><00:28:01.539><c> times</c><00:28:01.920><c> when</c><00:28:02.440><c> things</c><00:28:03.039><c> get</c><00:28:03.500><c> difficult.</c>

00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:09.579
The<00:28:04.740><c> reality</c><00:28:05.200><c> is</c><00:28:05.519><c> we</c><00:28:05.720><c> need</c><00:28:06.039><c> to</c><00:28:06.380><c> just</c><00:28:06.700><c> keep</c><00:28:07.359><c> on</c><00:28:08.619><c> believing.</c>

00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:12.019
Why?

00:28:12.460 --> 00:28:16.019
Because<00:28:12.799><c> sometimes</c><00:28:13.660><c> there's</c><00:28:14.740><c> things</c><00:28:15.099><c> that</c><00:28:15.319><c> the</c><00:28:15.440><c> Lord</c><00:28:15.599><c> Jesus</c>

00:28:16.019 --> 00:28:18.539
Christ<00:28:16.559><c> is</c><00:28:17.200><c> doing</c><00:28:17.500><c> in</c><00:28:17.859><c> our</c><00:28:18.059><c> lives</c>

00:28:18.539 --> 00:28:22.819
that<00:28:19.380><c> we</c><00:28:19.619><c> don't</c><00:28:19.880><c> understand</c><00:28:20.720><c> right</c><00:28:21.519><c> now.</c>

00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:27.619
But<00:28:23.559><c> as</c><00:28:23.740><c> the</c><00:28:23.900><c> Lord</c><00:28:24.119><c> said</c><00:28:24.400><c> to</c><00:28:24.660><c> Peter,</c><00:28:26.640><c> you</c><00:28:26.740><c> will.</c>

00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:34.900
And<00:28:31.380><c> Martha</c><00:28:32.039><c> did</c><00:28:32.559><c> not</c><00:28:32.859><c> understand</c><00:28:33.279><c> what</c><00:28:33.420><c> was</c><00:28:33.619><c> going</c><00:28:33.839><c> on.</c>

00:28:35.319 --> 00:28:38.579
But<00:28:35.380><c> it</c><00:28:35.579><c> didn't</c><00:28:35.960><c> change</c><00:28:36.480><c> her</c><00:28:36.839><c> reaction</c><00:28:37.319><c> and</c><00:28:37.660><c> her</c><00:28:38.119><c> responses</c>

00:28:38.579 --> 00:28:39.200
to<00:28:38.839><c> the</c><00:28:39.000><c> Lord.</c>

00:28:39.460 --> 00:28:43.920
When<00:28:39.640><c> she</c><00:28:40.059><c> hears</c><00:28:40.420><c> that</c><00:28:40.680><c> he</c><00:28:40.819><c> is</c><00:28:41.240><c> anywhere</c><00:28:41.559><c> near</c><00:28:41.960><c> her,</c><00:28:42.680><c> she's</c><00:28:43.220><c> out</c><00:28:43.480><c> there</c><00:28:43.680><c> to</c>

00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:45.660
be<00:28:44.059><c> in</c><00:28:44.279><c> his</c><00:28:44.559><c> presence.</c>

00:28:46.859 --> 00:28:49.880
Falls<00:28:47.059><c> at</c><00:28:47.220><c> his</c><00:28:47.519><c> feet</c><00:28:47.940><c> with</c><00:28:48.460><c> her</c><00:28:48.680><c> faith</c><00:28:48.859><c> unchanged.</c>

00:28:50.119 --> 00:28:53.019
Yes,<00:28:50.539><c> the</c><00:28:50.660><c> Lord</c><00:28:50.900><c> is</c><00:28:51.140><c> going</c><00:28:51.359><c> to</c><00:28:51.740><c> develop</c><00:28:52.099><c> this</c><00:28:52.599><c> faith.</c>

00:28:53.019 --> 00:28:57.859
And<00:28:53.720><c> he's</c><00:28:54.000><c> going</c><00:28:54.140><c> to</c><00:28:54.339><c> put</c><00:28:54.500><c> her</c><00:28:54.720><c> through</c><00:28:54.920><c> a</c><00:28:55.079><c> number</c><00:28:55.359><c> of</c><00:28:55.720><c> questions</c><00:28:56.319><c> to</c><00:28:57.000><c> develop</c><00:28:57.559><c> and</c>

00:28:57.859 --> 00:28:59.579
draw<00:28:58.119><c> out</c><00:28:58.400><c> that</c><00:28:58.680><c> faith.</c>

00:29:00.619 --> 00:29:02.119
But<00:29:00.839><c> it</c><00:29:00.960><c> was</c><00:29:01.200><c> there.</c>

00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:05.259
I<00:29:03.319><c> want</c><00:29:03.440><c> us</c><00:29:03.599><c> to</c><00:29:03.839><c> translate</c><00:29:04.059><c> that,</c><00:29:04.460><c> though,</c><00:29:04.460><c> to</c><00:29:04.619><c> how</c><00:29:04.799><c> you're</c><00:29:05.079><c> going</c><00:29:05.099><c> to</c>

00:29:05.259 --> 00:29:06.720
take<00:29:05.339><c> that</c><00:29:05.539><c> away</c><00:29:05.720><c> into</c><00:29:05.980><c> your</c><00:29:06.259><c> life</c>

00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:09.359
and<00:29:07.220><c> think</c><00:29:07.420><c> about</c><00:29:07.660><c> it,</c><00:29:08.859><c> though.</c>

00:29:09.460 --> 00:29:12.319
Because<00:29:10.000><c> think</c><00:29:10.519><c> about</c><00:29:10.779><c> what</c><00:29:10.940><c> the</c><00:29:11.259><c> sisters</c><00:29:11.579><c> have</c><00:29:12.000><c> asked.</c>

00:29:12.420 --> 00:29:15.500
Think<00:29:12.660><c> about</c><00:29:12.920><c> what</c><00:29:13.140><c> their</c><00:29:13.539><c> expectations</c><00:29:14.740><c> were.</c>

00:29:15.980 --> 00:29:19.099
They<00:29:16.200><c> had</c><00:29:16.420><c> expectations</c><00:29:17.160><c> that</c><00:29:17.339><c> were</c><00:29:17.480><c> this</c><00:29:17.819><c> big.</c>

00:29:20.359 --> 00:29:25.160
When<00:29:20.799><c> the</c><00:29:21.019><c> plan</c><00:29:21.380><c> that</c><00:29:21.559><c> the</c><00:29:21.700><c> Lord</c><00:29:21.880><c> Jesus</c><00:29:22.339><c> Christ</c><00:29:22.720><c> had</c><00:29:23.059><c> was</c><00:29:23.839><c> this</c><00:29:24.180><c> big.</c>

00:29:26.140 --> 00:29:26.799
Do<00:29:26.240><c> you</c><00:29:26.319><c> see</c><00:29:26.460><c> that?</c>

00:29:27.099 --> 00:29:29.240
They<00:29:27.259><c> were</c><00:29:27.500><c> thinking</c><00:29:27.759><c> that</c><00:29:27.920><c> the</c><00:29:28.039><c> Lord</c><00:29:28.180><c> Jesus</c><00:29:28.579><c> Christ</c><00:29:29.059><c> could</c>

00:29:37.859 --> 00:29:40.180
The<00:29:38.000><c> Lord</c><00:29:38.140><c> Jesus</c><00:29:38.500><c> Christ</c><00:29:38.740><c> is</c><00:29:38.900><c> thinking,</c><00:29:39.119><c> if</c><00:29:39.339><c> I</c><00:29:39.500><c> bring</c><00:29:39.599><c> him</c><00:29:39.779><c> back</c><00:29:39.960><c> to</c>

00:29:43.700 --> 00:29:47.119
Now,<00:29:44.279><c> we</c><00:29:44.599><c> have</c><00:29:44.779><c> this</c><00:29:45.099><c> story</c><00:29:45.339><c> in</c><00:29:45.680><c> hindsight,</c><00:29:46.160><c> so</c><00:29:46.319><c> it's</c><00:29:46.519><c> easy</c><00:29:46.819><c> for</c><00:29:47.000><c> us</c>

00:29:49.460 --> 00:29:51.759
But<00:29:49.740><c> that's</c><00:29:50.019><c> what</c><00:29:50.180><c> we</c><00:29:50.359><c> need</c><00:29:50.460><c> to</c><00:29:50.740><c> do</c><00:29:50.920><c> in</c><00:29:51.140><c> our</c><00:29:51.339><c> lives.</c>

00:29:52.220 --> 00:29:56.480
We<00:29:52.480><c> need</c><00:29:52.720><c> to</c><00:29:52.940><c> just</c><00:29:53.220><c> keep</c><00:29:53.680><c> on</c><00:29:54.299><c> believing,</c><00:29:55.259><c> keep</c><00:29:55.559><c> on</c><00:29:56.000><c> trusting</c>

00:30:09.759 --> 00:30:10.559

00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:13.079

00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:19.160

00:32:56.279 --> 00:33:02.619

and<00:33:02.779><c> Martha.</c>

00:33:04.579 --> 00:33:08.220
Now,<00:33:04.779><c> yesterday</c><00:33:05.200><c> we</c><00:33:05.480><c> focused</c><00:33:05.940><c> on</c><00:33:06.579><c> serving</c><00:33:07.200><c> others.</c>

00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:10.500
That<00:33:08.480><c> was</c><00:33:08.700><c> our</c><00:33:08.960><c> theme</c><00:33:09.200><c> about</c><00:33:09.380><c> our</c><00:33:09.660><c> responsibility</c><00:33:10.160><c> that</c><00:33:10.299><c> we</c>

00:33:13.559 --> 00:33:14.000
help<00:33:13.759><c> them.</c>

00:33:14.279 --> 00:33:16.720
Well,<00:33:14.440><c> I</c><00:33:14.519><c> want</c><00:33:14.660><c> to</c><00:33:14.839><c> clarify</c><00:33:15.119><c> there's</c><00:33:15.380><c> a</c><00:33:15.660><c> balance</c><00:33:16.039><c> in</c><00:33:16.519><c> the</c><00:33:16.619><c> way</c>

00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:17.180
we<00:33:17.019><c> serve</c>

00:33:17.180 --> 00:33:20.279
because<00:33:17.420><c> it's</c><00:33:17.599><c> not</c><00:33:17.740><c> all</c><00:33:17.900><c> about</c><00:33:18.079><c> just</c><00:33:18.380><c> running</c><00:33:18.539><c> around</c><00:33:18.839><c> doing</c><00:33:19.119><c> things.</c>

00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:23.140
It's<00:33:20.859><c> about</c><00:33:21.099><c> getting</c><00:33:21.380><c> our</c><00:33:21.579><c> perspective</c><00:33:22.140><c> on</c><00:33:22.420><c> the</c><00:33:22.680><c> things</c><00:33:22.900><c> that</c>

00:33:23.140 --> 00:33:24.539
we<00:33:23.299><c> are</c><00:33:23.519><c> doing.</c>

00:33:25.259 --> 00:33:30.200
It's<00:33:25.920><c> examining</c><00:33:26.200><c> our</c><00:33:26.539><c> motive</c><00:33:27.319><c> of</c><00:33:28.440><c> why</c><00:33:28.880><c> we</c><00:33:29.079><c> are</c><00:33:29.339><c> serving.</c>

00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:33.099
And<00:33:30.619><c> that's</c><00:33:30.759><c> what</c><00:33:30.880><c> John</c><00:33:31.079><c> chapter</c><00:33:31.319><c> 10,</c><00:33:32.000><c> these</c><00:33:32.259><c> few</c><00:33:32.400><c> verses</c><00:33:32.700><c> here,</c><00:33:32.960><c> is</c>

00:33:34.339 --> 00:33:37.660
It's<00:33:34.500><c> going</c><00:33:34.660><c> to</c><00:33:34.819><c> address</c><00:33:35.359><c> that</c><00:33:35.839><c> point</c><00:33:36.160><c> in</c><00:33:36.680><c> our</c><00:33:36.859><c> lives.</c>

00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:42.640
Because<00:33:37.940><c> this</c><00:33:38.160><c> Philippians</c><00:33:39.039><c> 2,</c><00:33:39.799><c> few</c><00:33:39.980><c> verses</c><00:33:40.359><c> on,</c><00:33:41.500><c> tells</c><00:33:41.680><c> us</c>

00:33:42.640 --> 00:33:45.789
God<00:33:43.400><c> is</c><00:33:43.940><c> working</c><00:33:44.480><c> in</c><00:33:44.960><c> you</c>

00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:50.319
both<00:33:46.480><c> to</c><00:33:46.859><c> will</c><00:33:47.220><c> and</c><00:33:48.279><c> to</c><00:33:48.700><c> do</c><00:33:49.039><c> of</c><00:33:49.319><c> His</c><00:33:49.480><c> good</c><00:33:49.720><c> pleasure.</c>

00:33:50.319 --> 00:33:56.059
So<00:33:51.279><c> both</c><00:33:51.579><c> to</c><00:33:51.900><c> want</c><00:33:52.220><c> to</c><00:33:52.619><c> and</c><00:33:52.940><c> to</c><00:33:53.259><c> actually</c><00:33:53.839><c> do</c><00:33:54.359><c> His</c><00:33:54.680><c> good</c><00:33:54.920><c> pleasure.</c>

00:33:57.500 --> 00:33:58.640
So<00:33:57.660><c> do</c><00:33:57.960><c> all</c><00:33:58.279><c> things.</c>

00:33:58.819 --> 00:34:00.059
Do<00:33:59.019><c> it</c><00:33:59.180><c> because</c><00:33:59.380><c> that's</c><00:33:59.579><c> what</c><00:33:59.680><c> God</c><00:33:59.859><c> wants.</c>

00:34:00.180 --> 00:34:03.819
Do<00:34:00.460><c> all</c><00:34:00.720><c> these</c><00:34:00.980><c> things</c><00:34:01.279><c> without</c><00:34:01.700><c> murmuring,</c><00:34:02.619><c> without</c><00:34:02.980><c> disputing.</c>

00:34:04.180 --> 00:34:09.239
Do<00:34:04.440><c> things</c><00:34:04.859><c> without</c><00:34:05.500><c> grumbling,</c><00:34:06.819><c> without</c><00:34:07.339><c> arguing</c><00:34:07.900><c> or</c><00:34:08.340><c> saying,</c>

00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:11.659
I'm<00:34:09.420><c> not</c><00:34:09.659><c> able,</c><00:34:10.159><c> I</c><00:34:10.380><c> can't</c><00:34:10.619><c> do</c><00:34:10.860><c> that.</c>

00:34:11.900 --> 00:34:13.840
And<00:34:12.159><c> we</c><00:34:12.320><c> hear</c><00:34:12.460><c> it</c><00:34:12.559><c> all</c><00:34:12.760><c> the</c><00:34:12.940><c> time.</c>

00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:16.400
We<00:34:15.159><c> think</c><00:34:15.380><c> we</c><00:34:15.519><c> can't</c><00:34:15.860><c> do</c><00:34:16.059><c> it.</c>

00:34:16.599 --> 00:34:17.940
We<00:34:16.780><c> think</c><00:34:16.980><c> it's</c><00:34:17.219><c> too</c><00:34:17.579><c> hard.</c>

00:34:18.199 --> 00:34:19.260
There's<00:34:18.519><c> always</c><00:34:18.800><c> excuses.</c>

00:34:19.260 --> 00:34:21.300
Well,<00:34:19.460><c> that's</c><00:34:19.659><c> what</c><00:34:19.800><c> we're</c><00:34:19.980><c> going</c><00:34:20.079><c> to</c><00:34:20.179><c> have</c><00:34:20.300><c> a</c><00:34:20.400><c> look</c><00:34:20.579><c> at.</c>

00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:24.579
Luke<00:34:21.780><c> chapter</c><00:34:22.079><c> 10,</c><00:34:22.500><c> verse</c><00:34:22.619><c> 38,</c><00:34:23.039><c> let's</c><00:34:23.219><c> read</c><00:34:23.480><c> through</c><00:34:23.719><c> with</c><00:34:23.900><c> that</c><00:34:24.119><c> in</c><00:34:24.300><c> mind.</c>

00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:27.800
Now<00:34:25.199><c> it</c><00:34:25.320><c> came</c><00:34:25.440><c> to</c><00:34:25.579><c> pass</c><00:34:26.000><c> as</c><00:34:26.579><c> they</c><00:34:26.840><c> went,</c><00:34:27.039><c> that's</c><00:34:27.360><c> Jesus</c><00:34:27.659><c> and</c>

00:34:36.699 --> 00:34:40.639
And<00:34:36.940><c> she</c><00:34:37.099><c> had</c><00:34:37.280><c> a</c><00:34:37.460><c> sister</c><00:34:37.820><c> called</c><00:34:38.219><c> Mary,</c><00:34:39.039><c> which</c><00:34:39.340><c> also</c><00:34:39.900><c> sat</c><00:34:40.320><c> at</c>

00:34:44.440 --> 00:34:48.519
But<00:34:44.820><c> Martha</c><00:34:45.199><c> was</c><00:34:45.659><c> cumbered</c><00:34:46.099><c> about</c><00:34:46.480><c> much</c><00:34:46.820><c> serving</c><00:34:47.260><c> and</c><00:34:48.260><c> came</c>

unto<00:34:48.800><c> Him</c><00:34:49.320><c> and</c><00:34:50.039><c> said,</c>

00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:54.280
Lord,<00:34:51.820><c> does</c><00:34:51.980><c> there</c><00:34:52.159><c> not</c><00:34:52.380><c> care</c><00:34:52.699><c> that</c><00:34:52.860><c> my</c><00:34:53.139><c> sister</c><00:34:53.440><c> hath</c><00:34:53.699><c> left</c><00:34:53.960><c> me</c>

Jesus<00:34:59.539><c> answered</c><00:34:59.960><c> and</c><00:35:00.219><c> said</c><00:35:00.360><c> unto</c><00:35:00.619><c> her,</c>

00:35:01.500 --> 00:35:06.500
Martha,<00:35:03.079><c> Martha,</c><00:35:04.579><c> thou</c><00:35:04.800><c> art</c><00:35:05.239><c> careful</c><00:35:05.519><c> and</c><00:35:05.880><c> troubled</c><00:35:06.179><c> about</c>

00:35:10.619 --> 00:35:16.639
And<00:35:11.280><c> Mary</c><00:35:11.639><c> has</c><00:35:12.099><c> chosen</c><00:35:12.599><c> that</c><00:35:12.860><c> good</c><00:35:13.119><c> part</c><00:35:13.639><c> and</c><00:35:15.099><c> it</c><00:35:15.420><c> won't</c><00:35:16.019><c> be</c>

John<00:35:30.260><c> 11.</c>

00:35:30.760 --> 00:35:34.159
That's<00:35:31.239><c> characteristic</c><00:35:31.639><c> of</c><00:35:31.860><c> Martha,</c><00:35:32.539><c> to</c><00:35:32.679><c> be</c><00:35:32.800><c> outside</c><00:35:33.139><c> the</c><00:35:33.340><c> house</c><00:35:33.559><c> welcoming</c><00:35:33.940><c> in</c>

00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:34.460
the<00:35:34.320><c> visitors.</c>

00:35:34.519 --> 00:35:37.739
She's<00:35:34.780><c> met</c><00:35:34.880><c> the</c><00:35:35.079><c> Lord</c><00:35:35.360><c> and</c><00:35:35.800><c> she's</c><00:35:36.139><c> invited</c><00:35:36.579><c> Him</c><00:35:36.880><c> to</c><00:35:37.179><c> come</c><00:35:37.440><c> back</c>

00:35:37.739 --> 00:35:39.239
to<00:35:38.480><c> her</c><00:35:38.739><c> house.</c>

00:35:39.239 --> 00:35:41.559
Now<00:35:40.119><c> we</c><00:35:40.500><c> can</c><00:35:40.739><c> piece</c><00:35:40.920><c> the</c><00:35:41.099><c> story</c><00:35:41.219><c> together.</c>

00:35:41.679 --> 00:35:43.360
I'd<00:35:41.820><c> say</c><00:35:41.940><c> potentially</c><00:35:42.380><c> she's</c><00:35:42.719><c> the</c><00:35:42.900><c> older</c><00:35:43.119><c> one.</c>

00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:45.500
She's<00:35:43.739><c> certainly</c><00:35:44.059><c> the</c><00:35:44.380><c> leader</c><00:35:44.619><c> there</c><00:35:44.860><c> in</c><00:35:45.000><c> the</c><00:35:45.199><c> family.</c>

00:35:45.860 --> 00:35:47.860
She's<00:35:46.019><c> the</c><00:35:46.119><c> type</c><00:35:46.320><c> of</c><00:35:46.599><c> personality</c><00:35:46.820><c> that's</c><00:35:47.159><c> always</c><00:35:47.519><c> busy.</c>

00:35:47.900 --> 00:35:48.920
She's<00:35:48.179><c> always</c><00:35:48.559><c> active.</c>

00:35:49.000 --> 00:35:51.760
She's<00:35:49.199><c> always</c><00:35:49.980><c> doing</c><00:35:50.739><c> something.</c>

00:35:52.059 --> 00:35:53.880
Great<00:35:52.260><c> quality,</c><00:35:53.079><c> wonderful</c><00:35:53.440><c> person.</c>

00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:55.340
Not<00:35:54.320><c> criticising</c><00:35:54.860><c> her</c><00:35:55.039><c> at</c><00:35:55.179><c> all.</c>

00:35:55.519 --> 00:35:59.400
But<00:35:55.760><c> her</c><00:35:56.099><c> faith</c><00:35:56.400><c> and</c><00:35:56.619><c> her</c><00:35:56.900><c> behaviour</c><00:35:57.139><c> is</c><00:35:57.300><c> going</c><00:35:57.400><c> to</c><00:35:57.480><c> need</c><00:35:57.559><c> some</c><00:35:57.760><c> tweaking.</c>

00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:04.380
Martha<00:36:00.539><c> has</c><00:36:00.760><c> a</c><00:36:00.900><c> sister,</c><00:36:01.139><c> we're</c><00:36:01.360><c> told</c><00:36:01.519><c> in</c><00:36:01.679><c> verse</c><00:36:01.900><c> 39,</c><00:36:02.699><c> called</c><00:36:03.099><c> Mary.</c>

00:36:04.820 --> 00:36:08.079
And<00:36:04.980><c> Mary</c><00:36:05.260><c> sat</c><00:36:05.980><c> at</c><00:36:06.760><c> Jesus'</c><00:36:08.000><c> feet.</c>

00:36:08.079 --> 00:36:13.760
Mary<00:36:08.940><c> sat</c><00:36:12.139><c> at</c><00:36:12.380><c> Jesus'</c><00:36:13.019><c> feet.</c>

00:36:14.380 --> 00:36:16.199
Martha's<00:36:14.860><c> outside</c><00:36:15.340><c> meeting.</c>

00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:19.659
One's<00:36:17.219><c> running</c><00:36:17.440><c> around</c><00:36:17.639><c> doing</c><00:36:17.840><c> things,</c><00:36:18.739><c> the</c><00:36:19.019><c> other's</c><00:36:19.360><c> sitting</c><00:36:19.500><c> down.</c>

00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:23.579
Every<00:36:20.199><c> time</c><00:36:20.639><c> you</c><00:36:20.760><c> meet</c><00:36:21.079><c> Mary,</c><00:36:22.179><c> she's</c><00:36:22.559><c> sitting</c><00:36:22.699><c> down.</c>

00:36:24.260 --> 00:36:26.079
Every<00:36:24.659><c> time</c><00:36:25.000><c> in</c><00:36:25.059><c> the</c><00:36:25.260><c> record</c><00:36:25.440><c> you</c><00:36:25.579><c> meet</c><00:36:25.800><c> her.</c>

00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:30.800
She's<00:36:26.719><c> sitting</c><00:36:26.860><c> down,</c><00:36:28.159><c> every</c><00:36:28.619><c> time</c><00:36:28.840><c> except</c><00:36:29.139><c> once,</c><00:36:29.579><c> at</c><00:36:29.659><c> Jesus'</c><00:36:30.099><c> feet.</c>

00:36:31.159 --> 00:36:33.260
The<00:36:31.300><c> one</c><00:36:31.519><c> time</c><00:36:31.659><c> she's</c><00:36:31.880><c> not</c><00:36:32.159><c> sitting</c><00:36:32.300><c> at</c><00:36:32.400><c> Jesus'</c><00:36:32.880><c> feet</c><00:36:32.960><c> is</c><00:36:33.119><c> when</c>

00:36:33.260 --> 00:36:34.320
she<00:36:33.500><c> stays</c><00:36:33.739><c> in</c><00:36:33.920><c> that</c><00:36:34.139><c> room</c>

00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:37.159
with<00:36:34.519><c> those</c><00:36:34.840><c> mourners</c><00:36:35.239><c> and</c><00:36:35.659><c> doesn't</c><00:36:36.039><c> run</c><00:36:36.300><c> out</c><00:36:36.500><c> there</c><00:36:36.639><c> to</c><00:36:36.800><c> Him.</c>

00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:38.440
It's<00:36:37.960><c> the</c><00:36:37.980><c> only</c><00:36:38.199><c> time.</c>

00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:40.099
You<00:36:39.099><c> piece</c><00:36:39.280><c> that</c><00:36:39.420><c> together,</c><00:36:39.719><c> as</c><00:36:39.880><c> you</c><00:36:40.000><c> will.</c>

00:36:40.099 --> 00:36:41.900
We<00:36:40.219><c> don't</c><00:36:40.360><c> have</c><00:36:40.500><c> time</c><00:36:40.699><c> to</c><00:36:40.860><c> picture</c><00:36:41.039><c> that.</c>

00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:45.320
She<00:36:42.719><c> sits</c><00:36:42.980><c> there</c><00:36:43.179><c> at</c><00:36:43.340><c> Jesus'</c><00:36:43.800><c> feet,</c><00:36:43.920><c> listening</c><00:36:44.360><c> to</c><00:36:44.699><c> His</c><00:36:44.980><c> words</c>

00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:48.619
in<00:36:45.619><c> just</c><00:36:45.840><c> abject</c><00:36:46.320><c> adoration</c><00:36:47.039><c> of</c><00:36:47.380><c> the</c><00:36:47.699><c> words</c><00:36:47.960><c> that</c><00:36:48.219><c> come</c><00:36:48.380><c> from</c>

00:36:48.619 --> 00:36:49.239
His<00:36:48.900><c> mouth.</c>

00:36:49.440 --> 00:36:50.800
She's<00:36:49.739><c> a</c><00:36:50.000><c> deep</c><00:36:50.260><c> thinker.</c>

00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:51.880
She<00:36:51.159><c> takes</c><00:36:51.480><c> it</c><00:36:51.699><c> in.</c>

00:36:52.059 --> 00:36:53.480
She<00:36:52.539><c> processes</c><00:36:53.019><c> it</c><00:36:53.280><c> all.</c>

00:36:53.579 --> 00:36:55.340
And<00:36:53.760><c> she</c><00:36:53.920><c> takes</c><00:36:54.159><c> it</c><00:36:54.340><c> to</c><00:36:54.500><c> heart.</c>

00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:58.360
And<00:36:55.719><c> I</c><00:36:55.760><c> think</c><00:36:55.880><c> that's</c><00:36:56.139><c> why</c><00:36:56.360><c> she</c><00:36:56.639><c> really</c><00:36:57.239><c> felt</c><00:36:57.579><c> John</c><00:36:57.800><c> chapter</c><00:36:58.099><c> 11,</c>

00:36:58.400 --> 00:37:01.820
because<00:36:58.699><c> Jesus</c><00:36:59.099><c> said</c><00:36:59.360><c> this</c><00:36:59.579><c> sickness</c><00:36:59.840><c> is</c><00:37:00.039><c> not</c><00:37:00.199><c> to</c><00:37:00.400><c> death,</c><00:37:01.639><c> but</c>

00:37:01.820 --> 00:37:02.519
He's<00:37:02.000><c> dead.</c>

00:37:03.000 --> 00:37:06.039
I<00:37:03.480><c> think</c><00:37:03.659><c> for</c><00:37:03.920><c> her,</c><00:37:04.079><c> she</c><00:37:04.219><c> found</c><00:37:04.420><c> that</c><00:37:04.679><c> really</c><00:37:04.840><c> difficult.</c>

00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:09.119
But<00:37:07.679><c> they're</c><00:37:07.840><c> two</c><00:37:08.119><c> very</c><00:37:08.500><c> different</c><00:37:08.840><c> people.</c>

00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:12.239
Just<00:37:09.460><c> like</c><00:37:09.699><c> we</c><00:37:09.880><c> have</c><00:37:10.139><c> Peter's</c><00:37:10.960><c> and</c><00:37:11.039><c> we</c><00:37:11.219><c> have</c><00:37:11.500><c> John,</c>

00:37:12.579 --> 00:37:14.199
such<00:37:12.920><c> different</c><00:37:13.460><c> personalities.</c>

00:37:14.219 --> 00:37:16.539
We<00:37:14.340><c> have</c><00:37:14.639><c> Elijah's</c><00:37:15.199><c> and</c><00:37:15.360><c> we</c><00:37:15.440><c> have</c><00:37:15.699><c> Elisha's.</c>

00:37:16.699 --> 00:37:19.340
They're<00:37:16.880><c> very</c><00:37:17.340><c> different</c><00:37:17.659><c> and</c><00:37:17.860><c> they</c><00:37:18.280><c> serve</c><00:37:18.559><c> God</c><00:37:18.780><c> in</c><00:37:19.019><c> very</c>

00:37:19.340 --> 00:37:20.619
different<00:37:19.699><c> ways.</c>

00:37:20.639 --> 00:37:23.380
But<00:37:20.880><c> both</c><00:37:21.119><c> of</c><00:37:21.260><c> them</c><00:37:21.420><c> believe</c><00:37:21.860><c> and</c><00:37:22.300><c> both</c><00:37:22.579><c> of</c><00:37:22.699><c> them</c><00:37:22.780><c> are</c><00:37:23.099><c> adamant</c>

00:37:23.380 --> 00:37:25.460
that<00:37:23.519><c> they're</c><00:37:23.760><c> putting</c><00:37:23.920><c> the</c><00:37:24.099><c> Lord</c><00:37:24.239><c> Jesus</c><00:37:24.539><c> Christ</c><00:37:24.820><c> first</c><00:37:25.219><c> in</c>

00:37:25.460 --> 00:37:25.920
their<00:37:25.699><c> service.</c>

00:37:26.039 --> 00:37:28.440
They're<00:37:26.219><c> 100</c><00:37:26.420><c>%</c><00:37:26.659><c> convinced</c><00:37:27.139><c> about</c><00:37:27.400><c> that.</c>

00:37:29.340 --> 00:37:32.079
It's<00:37:29.539><c> just</c><00:37:29.659><c> that</c><00:37:29.820><c> one</c><00:37:29.980><c> of</c><00:37:30.099><c> them</c><00:37:30.199><c> has</c><00:37:30.400><c> a</c><00:37:30.539><c> less</c><00:37:30.699><c> pure</c><00:37:30.960><c> motive</c><00:37:31.340><c> than</c><00:37:31.519><c> the</c><00:37:31.719><c> other.</c>

00:37:32.079 --> 00:37:33.960
That's<00:37:32.480><c> what</c><00:37:32.599><c> we</c><00:37:32.699><c> need</c><00:37:32.840><c> to</c><00:37:33.000><c> understand.</c>

00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:38.900
So<00:37:34.619><c> we're</c><00:37:34.860><c> told</c><00:37:35.260><c> in</c><00:37:35.460><c> verse</c><00:37:35.739><c> 40</c><00:37:36.460><c> that</c><00:37:36.920><c> Martha</c><00:37:37.460><c> is</c><00:37:38.179><c> cumbered</c>

00:37:38.900 --> 00:37:40.880
about<00:37:39.380><c> much</c><00:37:39.940><c> serving.</c>

00:37:42.260 --> 00:37:44.099
Do<00:37:42.380><c> we</c><00:37:42.420><c> have</c><00:37:42.500><c> another</c><00:37:42.679><c> translation</c><00:37:43.139><c> for</c><00:37:43.380><c> cumbered?</c>

00:37:44.239 --> 00:37:45.519
It's<00:37:44.480><c> the</c><00:37:44.599><c> weirdest</c><00:37:44.780><c> word,</c><00:37:45.119><c> isn't</c><00:37:45.239><c> it?</c>

00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:47.039
What<00:37:45.820><c> does</c><00:37:45.960><c> cumbered</c><00:37:46.539><c> mean?</c>

00:37:49.380 --> 00:37:50.440
Distracted.

00:37:50.519 --> 00:37:52.340
Distracted,<00:37:51.139><c> that's</c><00:37:51.460><c> good.</c>

00:37:52.699 --> 00:37:53.760
Distracted.

00:37:53.840 --> 00:37:55.539
It's<00:37:54.119><c> all</c><00:37:54.300><c> up</c><00:37:54.480><c> here.</c>

00:37:55.679 --> 00:37:58.840
She's<00:37:56.079><c> running</c><00:37:56.300><c> around</c><00:37:56.760><c> serving</c><00:37:57.159><c> and</c><00:37:57.480><c> her</c><00:37:57.800><c> mind</c><00:37:58.139><c> is</c><00:37:58.400><c> going</c><00:37:58.619><c> a</c>

00:37:58.840 --> 00:38:00.139
million<00:37:59.079><c> miles</c><00:37:59.659><c> an</c><00:37:59.920><c> hour</c>

00:38:00.139 --> 00:38:03.360
because<00:38:00.400><c> she's</c><00:38:00.920><c> stressed</c><00:38:01.179><c> out</c><00:38:01.539><c> about</c><00:38:01.760><c> the</c><00:38:01.980><c> huge</c><00:38:02.239><c> list</c><00:38:02.500><c> of</c><00:38:02.659><c> things</c><00:38:02.840><c> that</c><00:38:02.980><c> she's</c><00:38:03.219><c> got</c>

00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:04.500
to<00:38:03.559><c> do.</c>

00:38:04.619 --> 00:38:06.260
Some<00:38:04.800><c> translations</c><00:38:05.320><c> might</c><00:38:05.559><c> say</c><00:38:05.780><c> anxious.</c>

00:38:06.679 --> 00:38:09.059
Others<00:38:06.940><c> might</c><00:38:07.219><c> say</c><00:38:07.440><c> she's</c><00:38:07.940><c> worried</c><00:38:08.239><c> about</c><00:38:08.519><c> all</c><00:38:08.800><c> the</c><00:38:08.900><c> things</c>

00:38:09.059 --> 00:38:10.159
that<00:38:09.179><c> she</c><00:38:09.320><c> has</c><00:38:09.539><c> to</c><00:38:09.739><c> do.</c>

00:38:10.639 --> 00:38:12.639
And<00:38:10.820><c> that</c><00:38:10.940><c> is</c><00:38:11.280><c> completely</c><00:38:11.980><c> understandable.</c>

00:38:12.800 --> 00:38:13.739
Think<00:38:12.960><c> about</c><00:38:13.159><c> the</c><00:38:13.320><c> situation.</c>

00:38:13.980 --> 00:38:15.539
Who's<00:38:14.300><c> turned</c><00:38:14.420><c> up</c><00:38:14.579><c> on</c><00:38:14.699><c> the</c><00:38:14.820><c> door?</c>

00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:16.079
Jesus.

00:38:16.440 --> 00:38:17.239
No.

00:38:17.619 --> 00:38:18.519
Have<00:38:17.800><c> a</c><00:38:17.900><c> look,</c><00:38:18.000><c> verse</c><00:38:18.179><c> 38.</c>

00:38:18.760 --> 00:38:20.480
They<00:38:19.239><c> came.</c>

00:38:20.539 --> 00:38:23.860
So<00:38:20.960><c> does</c><00:38:21.119><c> that</c><00:38:21.280><c> include</c><00:38:21.400><c> the</c><00:38:21.639><c> 12th</c><00:38:22.320><c> and</c><00:38:22.420><c> the</c><00:38:22.619><c> women</c><00:38:22.780><c> who</c><00:38:23.079><c> followed?</c>

00:38:23.880 --> 00:38:25.739
And<00:38:24.119><c> potentially</c><00:38:24.420><c> if</c><00:38:24.559><c> we</c><00:38:24.639><c> look</c><00:38:24.739><c> back</c><00:38:24.940><c> into</c><00:38:25.119><c> the</c><00:38:25.340><c> context</c><00:38:25.579><c> and</c>

00:38:25.739 --> 00:38:26.320
read<00:38:25.940><c> the</c><00:38:26.159><c> story</c>

00:38:26.320 --> 00:38:27.900
before<00:38:26.659><c> the</c><00:38:26.900><c> parable</c><00:38:27.179><c> just</c><00:38:27.460><c> before,</c>

00:38:27.900 --> 00:38:30.480
we<00:38:28.260><c> realise</c><00:38:28.699><c> that</c><00:38:28.880><c> there</c><00:38:28.940><c> was</c><00:38:29.139><c> actually</c><00:38:29.500><c> 70</c><00:38:29.880><c> disciples</c><00:38:30.340><c> of</c>

00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:31.340
the<00:38:30.559><c> Lord</c><00:38:30.699><c> Jesus</c><00:38:30.980><c> Christ</c>

00:38:31.340 --> 00:38:32.579
he's<00:38:31.679><c> just</c><00:38:31.820><c> sent</c><00:38:31.980><c> out</c><00:38:32.119><c> on</c><00:38:32.300><c> a</c><00:38:32.340><c> mission.</c>

00:38:32.920 --> 00:38:33.820
So<00:38:33.059><c> were</c><00:38:33.199><c> they</c><00:38:33.360><c> all</c><00:38:33.539><c> there?</c>

00:38:33.960 --> 00:38:35.380
I<00:38:34.139><c> don't</c><00:38:34.360><c> think</c><00:38:34.539><c> all</c><00:38:34.800><c> of</c><00:38:34.920><c> them</c><00:38:35.000><c> were</c><00:38:35.179><c> there.</c>

00:38:35.539 --> 00:38:37.940
But<00:38:35.679><c> just</c><00:38:35.880><c> imagine</c><00:38:36.179><c> a</c><00:38:36.360><c> scene</c><00:38:36.480><c> a</c><00:38:36.659><c> little</c><00:38:36.820><c> bit</c><00:38:37.000><c> like</c><00:38:37.280><c> the</c><00:38:37.539><c> suppers</c><00:38:37.760><c> that</c>

00:38:37.940 --> 00:38:38.599
you<00:38:38.099><c> go</c><00:38:38.300><c> to</c>

00:38:38.599 --> 00:38:41.199
where<00:38:39.079><c> there's</c><00:38:39.420><c> nobody,</c><00:38:39.840><c> there's</c><00:38:40.019><c> just</c><00:38:40.219><c> the</c><00:38:40.420><c> people</c><00:38:40.579><c> in</c><00:38:40.760><c> the</c><00:38:40.920><c> house</c>

00:38:41.199 --> 00:38:43.139
and<00:38:41.340><c> they're</c><00:38:41.539><c> all</c><00:38:41.800><c> organised</c><00:38:42.199><c> and</c><00:38:42.400><c> everything's</c><00:38:42.860><c> quiet</c>

00:38:43.139 --> 00:38:45.199
and<00:38:43.500><c> then</c><00:38:43.679><c> the</c><00:38:43.780><c> young</c><00:38:43.920><c> people</c><00:38:44.099><c> just</c><00:38:44.400><c> descend</c><00:38:44.659><c> on</c><00:38:44.840><c> this</c><00:38:45.000><c> house</c>

00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:46.699
and<00:38:45.320><c> there's</c><00:38:45.400><c> a</c><00:38:45.500><c> whole</c><00:38:45.579><c> lot</c><00:38:45.699><c> of</c><00:38:45.880><c> stress.</c>

00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:48.519
Well,<00:38:47.539><c> you</c><00:38:47.619><c> know,</c><00:38:47.619><c> it</c><00:38:47.699><c> was</c><00:38:47.820><c> actually</c><00:38:48.019><c> quite</c><00:38:48.199><c> different</c>

00:38:48.519 --> 00:38:51.940
because<00:38:49.000><c> they</c><00:38:49.460><c> had</c><00:38:49.639><c> planned</c><00:38:50.219><c> to</c><00:38:50.679><c> have</c><00:38:50.800><c> that</c><00:38:51.059><c> supper.</c>

00:38:53.159 --> 00:38:54.699
Martha<00:38:53.300><c> didn't</c><00:38:53.539><c> plan</c><00:38:53.760><c> this.</c>

00:38:55.860 --> 00:38:58.840
And<00:38:56.260><c> they</c><00:38:56.420><c> don't</c><00:38:56.559><c> have</c><00:38:56.820><c> pizzas</c><00:38:57.360><c> that</c><00:38:57.679><c> they</c><00:38:57.719><c> can</c><00:38:57.940><c> order.</c>

00:38:59.039 --> 00:39:01.659
They've<00:38:59.300><c> got</c><00:38:59.360><c> to</c><00:38:59.480><c> cook</c><00:38:59.579><c> it</c><00:38:59.800><c> over</c><00:39:00.239><c> a</c><00:39:00.699><c> wood</c><00:39:00.880><c> fire.</c>

00:39:02.179 --> 00:39:04.760
They've<00:39:02.400><c> got</c><00:39:02.400><c> to</c><00:39:02.420><c> go</c><00:39:02.559><c> down</c><00:39:02.699><c> to</c><00:39:02.820><c> the</c><00:39:03.059><c> well</c><00:39:03.300><c> to</c><00:39:03.500><c> get</c><00:39:03.659><c> the</c><00:39:03.880><c> food.</c>

00:39:04.820 --> 00:39:05.840
Again,<00:39:05.139><c> the</c><00:39:05.139><c> picture?</c>

00:39:06.199 --> 00:39:06.940
Martha's<00:39:06.380><c> got</c><00:39:06.519><c> lots</c><00:39:06.679><c> to</c><00:39:06.840><c> do.</c>

00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:08.019
She's<00:39:07.179><c> stressing.</c>

00:39:08.300 --> 00:39:09.440
Now,<00:39:08.480><c> we</c><00:39:08.579><c> don't</c><00:39:08.719><c> know</c><00:39:08.820><c> the</c><00:39:08.980><c> time</c><00:39:09.179><c> frame.</c>

00:39:09.739 --> 00:39:10.960
She<00:39:09.880><c> might</c><00:39:10.059><c> have</c><00:39:10.179><c> had</c><00:39:10.300><c> time</c><00:39:10.440><c> to</c><00:39:10.599><c> do</c><00:39:10.760><c> that.</c>

00:39:11.099 --> 00:39:15.980
And<00:39:11.360><c> personally,</c><00:39:11.760><c> I</c><00:39:12.099><c> believe</c><00:39:12.699><c> that</c><00:39:13.199><c> Mary</c><00:39:13.500><c> had</c><00:39:14.039><c> helped</c><00:39:14.460><c> her</c><00:39:15.420><c> earlier</c><00:39:15.719><c> on</c>

00:39:15.980 --> 00:39:16.320
in<00:39:16.139><c> the</c><00:39:16.219><c> day.</c>

00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:17.800
Well,<00:39:16.559><c> I'm</c><00:39:16.679><c> not</c><00:39:16.739><c> going</c><00:39:16.900><c> to</c><00:39:17.059><c> go</c><00:39:17.059><c> into</c><00:39:17.179><c> proving</c><00:39:17.360><c> all</c><00:39:17.559><c> of</c><00:39:17.679><c> that.</c>

00:39:18.099 --> 00:39:19.199
It<00:39:18.119><c> takes</c><00:39:18.559><c> too</c><00:39:18.719><c> much</c><00:39:18.940><c> time.</c>

00:39:19.679 --> 00:39:20.460
But<00:39:19.880><c> here's</c><00:39:20.260><c> Martha.</c>

00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:21.460
She's<00:39:20.760><c> getting</c><00:39:20.980><c> worked</c><00:39:21.260><c> up.</c>

00:39:21.480 --> 00:39:22.960
She's<00:39:21.739><c> all</c><00:39:21.980><c> alone,</c><00:39:22.239><c> she</c><00:39:22.420><c> feels</c><00:39:22.679><c> now.</c>

00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:26.519
She's<00:39:23.300><c> getting</c><00:39:23.460><c> all</c><00:39:23.760><c> sweaty</c><00:39:23.960><c> and</c><00:39:24.840><c> stressed</c><00:39:25.179><c> about</c><00:39:25.480><c> the</c><00:39:25.619><c> situation</c><00:39:26.139><c> that's</c><00:39:26.400><c> there</c>

00:39:26.519 --> 00:39:27.139
in<00:39:26.699><c> front</c><00:39:26.820><c> of</c><00:39:26.920><c> her.</c>

00:39:27.219 --> 00:39:29.219
And<00:39:27.400><c> she</c><00:39:27.519><c> just</c><00:39:27.840><c> hits</c><00:39:28.019><c> the</c><00:39:28.260><c> wall</c><00:39:28.340><c> and</c><00:39:28.480><c> says,</c><00:39:28.639><c> that's</c><00:39:29.000><c> it.</c>

00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:30.860
I'm<00:39:29.840><c> going</c><00:39:29.960><c> to</c><00:39:30.079><c> do</c><00:39:30.219><c> something</c><00:39:30.440><c> about</c><00:39:30.679><c> this.</c>

00:39:30.920 --> 00:39:32.960
Because<00:39:31.119><c> she's</c><00:39:31.440><c> tried</c><00:39:31.780><c> to</c><00:39:31.980><c> give</c><00:39:32.260><c> Mary</c><00:39:32.480><c> the</c><00:39:32.760><c> eye.</c>

00:39:33.199 --> 00:39:34.079
You<00:39:33.300><c> know</c><00:39:33.360><c> that</c><00:39:33.519><c> sister</c><00:39:33.900><c> eye?</c>

00:39:34.400 --> 00:39:36.420
Come<00:39:34.800><c> here</c><00:39:35.119><c> and</c><00:39:35.579><c> help.</c>

00:39:36.840 --> 00:39:37.820
You're<00:39:37.119><c> sitting</c><00:39:37.420><c> down.</c>

00:39:37.860 --> 00:39:39.099
Come<00:39:38.099><c> and</c><00:39:38.260><c> help</c><00:39:38.500><c> me.</c>

00:39:39.480 --> 00:39:40.920
And<00:39:39.480><c> Mary's</c><00:39:40.179><c> not</c><00:39:40.260><c> having</c><00:39:40.380><c> a</c><00:39:40.480><c> bar</c><00:39:40.579><c> of</c><00:39:40.719><c> it.</c>

00:39:41.340 --> 00:39:43.320
She's<00:39:41.500><c> seen</c><00:39:41.679><c> it</c><00:39:41.860><c> once</c><00:39:42.059><c> and</c><00:39:42.179><c> now</c><00:39:42.340><c> she's</c><00:39:42.539><c> just</c><00:39:42.760><c> changed</c><00:39:43.039><c> angle</c>

00:39:43.320 --> 00:39:44.960
and<00:39:43.440><c> she's</c><00:39:43.659><c> looking</c><00:39:43.820><c> in</c><00:39:43.980><c> different</c><00:39:44.139><c> ways</c><00:39:44.380><c> so</c><00:39:44.500><c> she</c><00:39:44.639><c> can</c><00:39:44.800><c> listen</c>

00:39:44.960 --> 00:39:46.000
to<00:39:45.119><c> the</c><00:39:45.239><c> law.</c>

00:39:47.139 --> 00:39:47.920
Can<00:39:47.280><c> you</c><00:39:47.380><c> feel</c><00:39:47.559><c> it?</c>

00:39:48.239 --> 00:39:48.699
It's<00:39:48.500><c> real.</c>

00:39:48.800 --> 00:39:50.400
These<00:39:48.880><c> are</c><00:39:49.019><c> people's</c><00:39:49.380><c> lives.</c>

00:39:52.539 --> 00:39:54.840
And<00:39:52.980><c> so</c><00:39:53.159><c> she</c><00:39:53.260><c> comes</c><00:39:53.519><c> up</c><00:39:53.679><c> to</c><00:39:53.820><c> the</c><00:39:53.940><c> Lord.</c>

00:39:54.980 --> 00:39:58.099
If<00:39:55.059><c> you</c><00:39:55.059><c> read</c><00:39:55.139><c> it</c><00:39:55.360><c> carefully,</c><00:39:55.599><c> it</c><00:39:55.719><c> says</c><00:39:56.280><c> she</c><00:39:56.880><c> came</c><00:39:57.480><c> to</c><00:39:57.880><c> him.</c>

00:39:58.139 --> 00:39:59.199
So<00:39:58.260><c> you</c><00:39:58.340><c> can</c><00:39:58.519><c> imagine</c><00:39:58.840><c> it.</c>

00:39:59.219 --> 00:40:01.219
She<00:39:59.380><c> walks</c><00:39:59.639><c> up</c><00:39:59.840><c> and</c><00:40:00.000><c> she</c><00:40:00.219><c> stands</c><00:40:00.360><c> close</c><00:40:00.699><c> to</c><00:40:00.840><c> the</c><00:40:01.000><c> Lord.</c>

00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:04.099
And<00:40:01.579><c> when</c><00:40:01.699><c> the</c><00:40:01.820><c> opportunity</c><00:40:02.260><c> is</c><00:40:02.519><c> there,</c><00:40:03.340><c> finally</c><00:40:03.699><c> she</c><00:40:03.900><c> says,</c>

00:40:04.119 --> 00:40:08.920
Lord,<00:40:05.920><c> doesn't</c><00:40:06.159><c> it</c><00:40:06.400><c> bother</c><00:40:06.579><c> you</c><00:40:07.440><c> that</c><00:40:08.039><c> my</c><00:40:08.300><c> sister</c><00:40:08.519><c> has</c><00:40:08.739><c> left</c>

00:40:08.920 --> 00:40:11.360
me<00:40:09.519><c> to</c><00:40:09.800><c> do</c><00:40:09.940><c> all</c><00:40:10.139><c> the</c><00:40:10.300><c> work</c><00:40:10.480><c> alone?</c>

00:40:11.400 --> 00:40:15.920
You<00:40:11.840><c> tell</c><00:40:12.179><c> her</c><00:40:13.599><c> to</c><00:40:13.760><c> come</c><00:40:13.940><c> and</c><00:40:14.079><c> help</c><00:40:14.179><c> me.</c>

00:40:15.920 --> 00:40:21.480
Well,<00:40:19.000><c> I'm</c><00:40:19.920><c> sure</c><00:40:20.119><c> you've</c><00:40:20.400><c> all</c><00:40:20.539><c> been</c><00:40:20.679><c> in</c><00:40:20.760><c> that</c><00:40:20.980><c> situation</c>

00:40:21.480 --> 00:40:24.800
where<00:40:21.639><c> you've</c><00:40:21.900><c> blurted</c><00:40:22.199><c> out</c><00:40:22.420><c> something</c><00:40:22.679><c> and</c><00:40:23.340><c> then</c><00:40:23.480><c> going,</c><00:40:24.099><c> whoa,</c>

00:40:24.800 --> 00:40:28.360
that<00:40:25.559><c> didn't</c><00:40:25.980><c> quite</c><00:40:26.360><c> sound</c><00:40:26.760><c> the</c><00:40:26.900><c> way</c><00:40:27.079><c> it</c><00:40:27.260><c> sounded</c><00:40:27.440><c> in</c><00:40:27.699><c> my</c><00:40:28.019><c> mind.</c>

00:40:28.400 --> 00:40:30.880
When<00:40:28.559><c> I</c><00:40:28.860><c> say</c><00:40:29.019><c> that,</c><00:40:29.239><c> it</c><00:40:29.380><c> sounds</c><00:40:29.599><c> awfully</c><00:40:29.920><c> different</c><00:40:30.599><c> to</c><00:40:30.739><c> what</c>

00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:32.079
I<00:40:31.000><c> was</c><00:40:31.199><c> thinking.</c>

00:40:32.719 --> 00:40:34.019
And<00:40:32.920><c> this</c><00:40:33.059><c> is</c><00:40:33.219><c> the</c><00:40:33.300><c> Lord</c><00:40:33.420><c> Jesus</c><00:40:33.699><c> Christ.</c>

00:40:34.039 --> 00:40:36.760
You<00:40:34.179><c> don't</c><00:40:34.420><c> talk</c><00:40:34.780><c> to</c><00:40:34.900><c> him</c><00:40:35.139><c> like</c><00:40:35.480><c> that.</c>

00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:41.940
Two<00:40:41.019><c> things.</c>

00:40:42.360 --> 00:40:44.739
Lord,<00:40:43.599><c> do</c><00:40:43.820><c> you</c><00:40:44.019><c> not</c><00:40:44.320><c> care?</c>

00:40:45.099 --> 00:40:46.039
She<00:40:45.280><c> says.</c>

00:40:46.739 --> 00:40:48.840
She<00:40:46.980><c> knows</c><00:40:47.420><c> that</c><00:40:47.639><c> the</c><00:40:47.760><c> Lord</c><00:40:47.880><c> cares.</c>

00:40:49.000 --> 00:40:49.900
She<00:40:49.260><c> believes</c><00:40:49.559><c> that.</c>

00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:53.340
But<00:40:50.460><c> emotion</c><00:40:50.980><c> and</c><00:40:51.320><c> frustration</c><00:40:51.840><c> has</c><00:40:52.199><c> taken</c><00:40:52.440><c> over</c><00:40:52.719><c> in</c><00:40:52.900><c> her</c><00:40:53.099><c> life</c>

00:40:53.340 --> 00:40:55.239
and<00:40:53.460><c> she's</c><00:40:53.760><c> not</c><00:40:53.980><c> thinking</c><00:40:54.260><c> logically</c><00:40:54.719><c> or</c><00:40:55.099><c> straight.</c>

00:40:55.400 --> 00:40:57.679
It<00:40:55.719><c> just</c><00:40:56.039><c> blurt</c><00:40:56.480><c> on</c><00:40:56.800><c> out.</c>

00:40:57.739 --> 00:40:59.179
And<00:40:57.880><c> the</c><00:40:57.980><c> next</c><00:40:58.119><c> thing</c><00:40:58.239><c> she</c><00:40:58.440><c> does</c><00:40:58.619><c> is</c><00:40:58.800><c> she</c><00:40:58.980><c> says,</c>

00:40:59.380 --> 00:41:01.619
bid<00:40:59.519><c> her,</c><00:40:59.920><c> you</c><00:41:00.179><c> tell</c><00:41:00.380><c> her,</c><00:41:00.579><c> Lord,</c><00:41:00.719><c> to</c><00:41:00.900><c> come</c><00:41:01.099><c> and</c><00:41:01.219><c> you</c><00:41:01.420><c> tell</c><00:41:01.500><c> her</c>

00:41:01.619 --> 00:41:03.079
to<00:41:01.699><c> come</c><00:41:01.800><c> out</c><00:41:01.920><c> here</c><00:41:02.000><c> and</c><00:41:02.119><c> help</c><00:41:02.219><c> me.</c>

00:41:03.219 --> 00:41:05.280
Would<00:41:03.360><c> you</c><00:41:03.480><c> give</c><00:41:03.579><c> the</c><00:41:03.719><c> Lord</c><00:41:03.840><c> orders</c><00:41:04.019><c> like</c><00:41:04.260><c> that?</c>

00:41:07.619 --> 00:41:09.960
You<00:41:08.059><c> know,</c><00:41:08.139><c> it</c><00:41:08.440><c> created</c><00:41:08.679><c> a</c><00:41:08.900><c> very</c><00:41:09.199><c> awkward</c><00:41:09.500><c> scene.</c>

00:41:09.960 --> 00:41:13.260
It<00:41:10.480><c> really</c><00:41:10.760><c> did,</c><00:41:11.619><c> because</c><00:41:11.860><c> she's</c><00:41:12.400><c> embarrassed</c><00:41:12.800><c> her</c><00:41:13.059><c> sister</c>

00:41:13.260 --> 00:41:14.780
publicly<00:41:13.780><c> in</c><00:41:13.940><c> front</c><00:41:14.059><c> of</c><00:41:14.179><c> all</c><00:41:14.300><c> the</c><00:41:14.420><c> people.</c>

00:41:15.079 --> 00:41:18.280
She's<00:41:15.340><c> accused</c><00:41:16.119><c> the</c><00:41:16.500><c> Lord</c><00:41:16.760><c> of</c><00:41:16.960><c> not</c><00:41:17.280><c> caring.</c>

00:41:18.639 --> 00:41:23.920
And<00:41:18.679><c> now</c><00:41:18.900><c> she's</c><00:41:19.199><c> demanded</c><00:41:19.519><c> that</c><00:41:19.860><c> he,</c><00:41:20.139><c> the</c><00:41:20.360><c> guest,</c><00:41:21.800><c> get</c><00:41:22.119><c> involved</c><00:41:22.800><c> and</c><00:41:23.019><c> intervene</c><00:41:23.559><c> on</c>

00:41:23.920 --> 00:41:25.239
a<00:41:24.059><c> family</c><00:41:24.360><c> issue.</c>

00:41:26.739 --> 00:41:29.059
But<00:41:26.880><c> what</c><00:41:27.059><c> it</c><00:41:27.239><c> does</c><00:41:27.500><c> tell</c><00:41:27.679><c> us,</c><00:41:27.840><c> it</c><00:41:27.960><c> gives</c><00:41:28.119><c> us</c><00:41:28.280><c> an</c><00:41:28.460><c> insight</c><00:41:28.780><c> into</c>

00:41:29.059 --> 00:41:30.780
their<00:41:29.320><c> relationship</c><00:41:29.820><c> with</c><00:41:29.980><c> the</c><00:41:30.079><c> Lord</c><00:41:30.199><c> Jesus</c><00:41:30.519><c> Christ</c>

00:41:30.780 --> 00:41:33.980
and<00:41:30.940><c> shows</c><00:41:31.380><c> that</c><00:41:32.239><c> Martha</c><00:41:32.639><c> felt</c><00:41:33.139><c> that</c><00:41:33.320><c> she</c><00:41:33.500><c> could</c><00:41:33.679><c> actually</c>

00:41:33.980 --> 00:41:35.159
approach<00:41:34.380><c> the</c><00:41:34.599><c> Lord</c><00:41:34.739><c> like</c><00:41:34.980><c> that.</c>

00:41:35.199 --> 00:41:36.920
And<00:41:35.420><c> you</c><00:41:35.539><c> don't</c><00:41:35.760><c> approach</c><00:41:36.059><c> someone</c><00:41:36.320><c> like</c><00:41:36.559><c> that</c><00:41:36.659><c> when</c><00:41:36.800><c> you</c>

00:41:36.920 --> 00:41:38.519
don't<00:41:37.139><c> know</c><00:41:37.360><c> them</c><00:41:37.579><c> well.</c>

00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:41.539
So<00:41:39.360><c> it</c><00:41:39.440><c> does</c><00:41:39.739><c> tell</c><00:41:39.900><c> us,</c><00:41:40.079><c> doesn't</c><00:41:40.280><c> it,</c><00:41:40.480><c> that</c><00:41:40.699><c> Martha</c><00:41:40.880><c> obviously</c>

00:41:41.539 --> 00:41:43.659
felt<00:41:41.760><c> that</c><00:41:41.920><c> she</c><00:41:42.039><c> could</c><00:41:42.260><c> walk</c><00:41:42.440><c> up</c><00:41:42.599><c> to</c><00:41:42.739><c> the</c><00:41:42.840><c> Lord</c><00:41:42.960><c> Jesus</c><00:41:43.340><c> Christ</c>

00:41:43.659 --> 00:41:45.039
and<00:41:44.139><c> speak</c><00:41:44.519><c> her</c><00:41:44.820><c> mind.</c>

00:41:45.219 --> 00:41:46.300
It<00:41:45.559><c> was</c><00:41:45.780><c> out</c><00:41:45.980><c> of</c><00:41:46.079><c> line.</c>

00:41:46.380 --> 00:41:47.880
She<00:41:46.579><c> crossed</c><00:41:46.860><c> the</c><00:41:47.039><c> line</c><00:41:47.179><c> well</c><00:41:47.500><c> and</c><00:41:47.760><c> truly.</c>

00:41:47.980 --> 00:41:48.820
I'm<00:41:48.059><c> not</c><00:41:48.239><c> denying</c><00:41:48.519><c> that.</c>

00:41:48.960 --> 00:41:51.860
But<00:41:49.079><c> it</c><00:41:49.239><c> does</c><00:41:49.500><c> show</c><00:41:49.780><c> to</c><00:41:49.980><c> us</c><00:41:50.079><c> she</c><00:41:50.380><c> felt</c><00:41:50.719><c> that</c><00:41:50.940><c> she</c><00:41:51.039><c> could</c><00:41:51.340><c> speak</c>

00:41:51.860 --> 00:41:54.420
openly,<00:41:53.019><c> heart</c><00:41:53.179><c> to</c><00:41:53.320><c> heart,</c><00:41:53.500><c> the</c><00:41:53.559><c> Lord.</c>

00:41:54.760 --> 00:41:56.760
That's<00:41:55.099><c> obviously</c><00:41:55.420><c> because</c><00:41:55.679><c> she</c><00:41:55.820><c> has</c><00:41:56.000><c> a</c><00:41:56.179><c> relationship</c><00:41:56.579><c> with</c>

00:41:56.760 --> 00:41:57.059
the<00:41:56.900><c> Lord.</c>

00:41:57.239 --> 00:41:58.219
Don't<00:41:57.539><c> underestimate</c><00:41:58.019><c> that.</c>

00:41:58.219 --> 00:41:59.139
She's<00:41:58.500><c> close</c><00:41:58.719><c> to</c><00:41:58.880><c> the</c><00:41:59.019><c> Lord.</c>

00:41:59.400 --> 00:42:01.940
Let's<00:41:59.699><c> actually</c><00:42:00.159><c> be</c><00:42:00.739><c> a</c><00:42:00.800><c> little</c><00:42:00.920><c> bit</c><00:42:01.079><c> jealous</c><00:42:01.340><c> of</c><00:42:01.480><c> her</c><00:42:01.659><c> maybe</c>

00:42:01.940 --> 00:42:03.139
for<00:42:02.139><c> having</c><00:42:02.340><c> that</c><00:42:02.619><c> relationship.</c>

00:42:03.639 --> 00:42:04.639
But<00:42:03.780><c> that's</c><00:42:03.980><c> what</c><00:42:04.099><c> we're</c><00:42:04.239><c> looking</c><00:42:04.440><c> for.</c>

00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:06.980
People<00:42:04.920><c> who</c><00:42:05.179><c> rub</c><00:42:05.320><c> shoulders</c><00:42:05.780><c> with</c><00:42:05.980><c> the</c><00:42:06.119><c> Lord</c><00:42:06.219><c> Jesus</c><00:42:06.579><c> Christ.</c>

00:42:06.980 --> 00:42:09.880
The<00:42:07.539><c> human</c><00:42:07.739><c> emotion's</c><00:42:08.320><c> taken</c><00:42:08.500><c> over</c><00:42:08.940><c> and</c><00:42:09.219><c> all</c><00:42:09.420><c> logic's</c><00:42:09.719><c> gone</c>

00:42:09.880 --> 00:42:10.619
out<00:42:10.079><c> of</c><00:42:10.139><c> her</c><00:42:10.340><c> mind</c>

00:42:10.619 --> 00:42:12.699
and<00:42:10.820><c> so</c><00:42:11.000><c> she's</c><00:42:11.320><c> just</c><00:42:11.579><c> bailed</c><00:42:11.780><c> up</c><00:42:11.960><c> to</c><00:42:12.099><c> the</c><00:42:12.260><c> situation.</c>

00:42:13.139 --> 00:42:15.539
Well,<00:42:13.340><c> how</c><00:42:13.539><c> do</c><00:42:13.679><c> you</c><00:42:13.860><c> think</c><00:42:14.039><c> the</c><00:42:14.360><c> Lord</c><00:42:14.619><c> is</c><00:42:14.840><c> going</c><00:42:15.019><c> to</c><00:42:15.159><c> reply</c><00:42:15.380><c> to</c>

00:42:15.539 --> 00:42:17.019
a<00:42:15.659><c> situation</c><00:42:16.059><c> like</c><00:42:16.280><c> that?</c>

00:42:18.380 --> 00:42:19.420
How's<00:42:18.679><c> the</c><00:42:18.800><c> Lord</c><00:42:18.880><c> going</c><00:42:19.079><c> to</c><00:42:19.219><c> reply?</c>

00:42:19.699 --> 00:42:20.139
Well,<00:42:19.820><c> we</c><00:42:19.920><c> tell.</c>

00:42:20.420 --> 00:42:22.940
A<00:42:20.679><c> soft</c><00:42:20.900><c> answer</c><00:42:21.219><c> turns</c><00:42:21.500><c> away</c><00:42:21.739><c> wrath,</c><00:42:22.099><c> right?</c>

00:42:23.280 --> 00:42:25.599
So<00:42:23.440><c> the</c><00:42:23.619><c> first</c><00:42:23.860><c> Martha</c><00:42:24.139><c> would</c><00:42:24.360><c> maybe</c><00:42:24.659><c> be</c><00:42:25.000><c> firm.</c>

00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:28.219
Martha,<00:42:26.519><c> just</c><00:42:26.780><c> stop,</c><00:42:27.099><c> just</c><00:42:27.380><c> stop.</c>

00:42:28.460 --> 00:42:29.619
And<00:42:28.579><c> then</c><00:42:28.739><c> the</c><00:42:28.880><c> last</c><00:42:29.059><c> Martha</c><00:42:29.260><c> would</c><00:42:29.420><c> be,</c>

00:42:29.840 --> 00:42:33.019
Martha,<00:42:30.420><c> Martha,</c><00:42:31.239><c> come</c><00:42:31.320><c> here,</c><00:42:32.059><c> come</c><00:42:32.260><c> here.</c>

00:42:33.739 --> 00:42:36.559
Let's<00:42:34.179><c> have</c><00:42:34.300><c> a</c><00:42:34.480><c> talk</c><00:42:34.619><c> about</c><00:42:35.099><c> what's</c><00:42:35.900><c> just</c><00:42:36.199><c> happened.</c>

00:42:36.559 --> 00:42:41.159
Because<00:42:37.159><c> you're</c><00:42:38.039><c> really</c><00:42:38.400><c> anxious</c><00:42:38.920><c> and</c><00:42:39.280><c> troubled</c><00:42:39.760><c> about</c><00:42:40.639><c> lots</c>

00:42:41.159 --> 00:42:41.900
of<00:42:41.500><c> things.</c>

00:42:42.019 --> 00:42:42.920
I<00:42:42.099><c> understand</c><00:42:42.519><c> that.</c>

00:42:43.300 --> 00:42:46.300
You're<00:42:43.400><c> full</c><00:42:43.579><c> of</c><00:42:43.880><c> care</c><00:42:44.119><c> and</c><00:42:44.260><c> you're</c><00:42:44.519><c> upset</c><00:42:44.860><c> about</c><00:42:45.380><c> too</c><00:42:45.960><c> many</c>

00:42:46.300 --> 00:42:48.139
things<00:42:47.019><c> is</c><00:42:47.539><c> what</c><00:42:47.679><c> he's</c><00:42:47.940><c> saying.</c>

00:42:48.519 --> 00:42:49.800
And<00:42:48.639><c> she</c><00:42:48.780><c> was.</c>

00:42:49.940 --> 00:42:54.099
She<00:42:50.099><c> was</c><00:42:50.539><c> full</c><00:42:50.940><c> or</c><00:42:51.460><c> consumed</c><00:42:52.239><c> with</c><00:42:52.579><c> her</c><00:42:53.059><c> worries.</c>

00:42:54.460 --> 00:42:56.679
So<00:42:54.699><c> much</c><00:42:54.860><c> so</c><00:42:55.099><c> that</c><00:42:55.199><c> it's</c><00:42:55.460><c> upset</c><00:42:55.639><c> her.</c>

00:42:57.380 --> 00:43:00.619
Because<00:42:57.659><c> there</c><00:42:57.780><c> were</c><00:42:57.920><c> too</c><00:42:58.159><c> many</c><00:42:58.380><c> things</c><00:42:58.719><c> going</c><00:42:59.000><c> on</c><00:42:59.300><c> in</c><00:42:59.480><c> her</c><00:42:59.760><c> mind.</c>

00:43:01.260 --> 00:43:03.519
There<00:43:01.460><c> was</c><00:43:01.940><c> one</c><00:43:02.320><c> thing</c><00:43:02.639><c> that's</c><00:43:02.960><c> needful.</c>

00:43:03.519 --> 00:43:04.639
One<00:43:04.239><c> thing.</c>

00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:08.340
But<00:43:05.219><c> she's</c><00:43:05.699><c> chosen</c><00:43:05.980><c> to</c><00:43:06.199><c> focus</c><00:43:06.460><c> on</c><00:43:06.679><c> all</c><00:43:07.079><c> of</c><00:43:07.239><c> these</c><00:43:07.460><c> things</c><00:43:07.780><c> down</c><00:43:08.039><c> there.</c>

00:43:08.599 --> 00:43:09.940
Now,<00:43:08.719><c> the</c><00:43:08.880><c> record</c><00:43:09.159><c> would</c><00:43:09.400><c> suggest</c><00:43:09.699><c> to</c><00:43:09.860><c> us,</c>

00:43:09.960 --> 00:43:11.699
if<00:43:10.039><c> you</c><00:43:10.159><c> want</c><00:43:10.260><c> to</c><00:43:10.360><c> look</c><00:43:10.480><c> into</c><00:43:10.659><c> it</c><00:43:10.820><c> further,</c><00:43:11.019><c> read</c><00:43:11.199><c> your</c><00:43:11.360><c> translations,</c>

00:43:11.860 --> 00:43:12.579
piece<00:43:11.980><c> it</c><00:43:12.079><c> all</c><00:43:12.199><c> together,</c>

00:43:12.940 --> 00:43:16.099
would<00:43:13.159><c> seem</c><00:43:13.340><c> to</c><00:43:13.599><c> suggest</c><00:43:13.920><c> or</c><00:43:14.119><c> indicate</c><00:43:14.500><c> to</c><00:43:14.679><c> us</c><00:43:14.900><c> that</c><00:43:15.400><c> the</c><00:43:15.679><c> things</c><00:43:15.880><c> that</c>

00:43:16.099 --> 00:43:16.940
she's<00:43:16.460><c> worried</c><00:43:16.659><c> about,</c>

00:43:17.000 --> 00:43:19.820
the<00:43:17.139><c> many</c><00:43:17.440><c> things,</c><00:43:18.519><c> is</c><00:43:18.739><c> not</c><00:43:18.900><c> the</c><00:43:19.099><c> food.</c>

00:43:20.360 --> 00:43:23.260
She's<00:43:20.800><c> worried</c><00:43:20.980><c> about</c><00:43:21.280><c> all</c><00:43:21.679><c> the</c><00:43:22.119><c> other</c><00:43:22.880><c> things.</c>

00:43:23.340 --> 00:43:25.199
All<00:43:23.519><c> the</c><00:43:23.760><c> extra</c><00:43:24.019><c> stuff,</c><00:43:24.360><c> the</c><00:43:24.619><c> final</c><00:43:24.920><c> touches.</c>

00:43:25.260 --> 00:43:26.400
And<00:43:25.360><c> I'm</c><00:43:25.440><c> not</c><00:43:25.679><c> saying</c><00:43:25.780><c> they're</c><00:43:26.059><c> wrong.</c>

00:43:26.599 --> 00:43:28.579
They're<00:43:26.900><c> good</c><00:43:27.079><c> things</c><00:43:27.320><c> because</c><00:43:27.440><c> she's</c><00:43:27.739><c> giving</c><00:43:27.880><c> her</c><00:43:28.139><c> best</c><00:43:28.360><c> to</c>

00:43:28.579 --> 00:43:29.440
the<00:43:28.719><c> Lord.</c>

00:43:29.659 --> 00:43:32.219
Until<00:43:30.099><c> she</c><00:43:30.519><c> starts</c><00:43:30.780><c> getting</c><00:43:31.039><c> anxious</c><00:43:31.400><c> and</c><00:43:31.719><c> stressed</c><00:43:31.960><c> about</c>

00:43:32.219 --> 00:43:33.099
all<00:43:32.440><c> of</c><00:43:32.559><c> those</c><00:43:32.780><c> things</c>

00:43:33.099 --> 00:43:35.599
and<00:43:33.500><c> suddenly</c><00:43:33.900><c> she's</c><00:43:34.179><c> lost</c><00:43:34.400><c> perspective.</c>

00:43:35.940 --> 00:43:38.079
Well,<00:43:37.579><c> potentially,</c>

00:43:38.179 --> 00:43:41.039
Martha<00:43:38.199><c> is</c><00:43:38.920><c> anxious</c><00:43:39.300><c> about</c><00:43:39.579><c> the</c><00:43:39.800><c> same</c><00:43:40.000><c> things</c><00:43:40.159><c> that</c><00:43:40.420><c> you</c><00:43:40.679><c> and</c>

00:43:41.039 --> 00:43:42.519
I<00:43:41.340><c> can</c><00:43:41.579><c> be</c><00:43:41.800><c> in</c><00:43:42.059><c> our</c><00:43:42.300><c> lives.</c>

00:43:42.739 --> 00:43:45.219
So<00:43:42.900><c> I'd</c><00:43:43.159><c> suggest</c><00:43:43.380><c> that</c><00:43:43.579><c> maybe</c><00:43:43.800><c> Martha</c><00:43:44.079><c> is</c><00:43:44.320><c> anxious</c><00:43:44.619><c> about</c><00:43:44.940><c> how</c>

00:43:45.219 --> 00:43:46.619
she's<00:43:45.659><c> pleasing</c><00:43:46.019><c> the</c><00:43:46.300><c> Lord</c>

00:43:46.619 --> 00:43:48.460
with<00:43:47.159><c> her</c><00:43:47.500><c> hospitality.</c>

00:43:48.800 --> 00:43:53.579
How<00:43:49.039><c> she's</c><00:43:49.579><c> impressing</c><00:43:50.099><c> maybe</c><00:43:50.500><c> his</c><00:43:50.820><c> guests,</c><00:43:51.139><c> the</c><00:43:51.300><c> 12</c><00:43:51.440><c> disciples,</c><00:43:52.119><c> and</c><00:43:52.480><c> the</c><00:43:52.639><c> rest.</c>

00:43:54.619 --> 00:43:57.880
She<00:43:55.079><c> might</c><00:43:55.280><c> be</c><00:43:55.579><c> stressed</c><00:43:55.880><c> about</c><00:43:56.320><c> the</c><00:43:56.619><c> thought</c><00:43:56.800><c> that</c><00:43:57.119><c> her</c><00:43:57.519><c> home</c>

00:43:57.880 --> 00:43:58.940
that<00:43:58.099><c> wasn't</c><00:43:58.519><c> prepared</c>

00:43:58.940 --> 00:44:00.900
and<00:43:59.099><c> the</c><00:43:59.260><c> meal</c><00:43:59.440><c> that</c><00:43:59.699><c> wasn't</c><00:43:59.980><c> prepared</c><00:44:00.239><c> and</c><00:44:00.400><c> they're</c><00:44:00.500><c> now</c><00:44:00.639><c> putting</c><00:44:00.800><c> it</c>

00:44:00.900 --> 00:44:01.420

00:44:05.940 --> 00:44:08.820
Because<00:44:06.179><c> hospitality</c><00:44:06.719><c> is</c><00:44:06.960><c> something</c><00:44:07.119><c> that</c><00:44:07.260><c> was</c><00:44:07.559><c> very</c><00:44:07.980><c> important</c><00:44:08.460><c> to</c><00:44:08.639><c> the</c>

00:44:09.760 --> 00:44:11.099
It<00:44:09.760><c> was</c><00:44:09.980><c> very</c><00:44:10.380><c> important</c><00:44:10.800><c> to</c><00:44:10.960><c> them.</c>

00:44:11.179 --> 00:44:12.179
Go<00:44:11.320><c> right</c><00:44:11.480><c> back</c><00:44:11.659><c> to</c><00:44:11.860><c> Abraham.</c>

00:44:12.260 --> 00:44:15.380
It<00:44:12.340><c> was</c><00:44:12.500><c> an</c><00:44:12.800><c> important</c><00:44:13.079><c> thing</c><00:44:13.400><c> to</c><00:44:13.820><c> care</c><00:44:14.139><c> for</c><00:44:14.340><c> your</c><00:44:14.500><c> visitors.</c>

00:44:15.440 --> 00:44:20.380

And<00:44:20.699><c> the</c><00:44:20.940><c> priority</c><00:44:21.179><c> was</c><00:44:21.780><c> to</c><00:44:22.460><c> welcome</c><00:44:22.719><c> the</c><00:44:22.920><c> Lord</c><00:44:23.039><c> into</c><00:44:23.219><c> the</c>

the<00:44:27.480><c> Lord.</c>

00:44:28.400 --> 00:44:33.699

00:44:42.940 --> 00:44:44.880

00:45:48.719 --> 00:45:52.960
So<00:45:49.460><c> we</c><00:45:50.199><c> ask</c><00:45:50.440><c> you,</c><00:45:50.920><c> who</c><00:45:51.099><c> are</c><00:45:51.320><c> you</c><00:45:51.619><c> serving</c><00:45:52.079><c> in</c><00:45:52.599><c> your</c><00:45:52.840><c> life?</c>

00:45:53.039 --> 00:45:54.280
I<00:45:53.119><c> ask</c><00:45:53.260><c> the</c><00:45:53.360><c> same</c><00:45:53.519><c> question</c><00:45:53.699><c> of</c><00:45:53.860><c> myself.</c>

She<00:49:25.960><c> served.</c>

00:49:26.340 --> 00:49:29.139

00:49:39.679 --> 00:49:41.500
