00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:21.960
Now,<00:19:15.259><c> these</c><00:19:15.539><c> people</c><00:19:15.859><c> here</c><00:19:17.480><c> seem</c><00:19:18.319><c> to</c><00:19:18.660><c> think</c><00:19:18.880><c> that</c><00:19:19.160><c> what</c><00:19:19.319><c> is</c><00:19:19.720><c> important,</c><00:19:21.819><c> so</c>

Now,<00:19:49.240><c> we</c><00:19:49.500><c> can't</c><00:19:49.799><c> be</c><00:19:50.099><c> certain</c><00:19:50.680><c> of</c><00:19:51.779><c> the</c><00:19:52.240><c> time</c><00:19:52.599><c> scale</c><00:19:52.960><c> here,</c><00:19:53.339><c> but</c>

I<00:20:20.859><c> don't</c><00:20:21.220><c> know</c><00:20:21.380><c> that</c><00:20:21.539><c> I</c><00:20:21.700><c> necessarily</c><00:20:22.079><c> understand</c><00:20:22.819><c> quite</c><00:20:23.220><c> what's</c><00:20:23.559><c> in</c>

00:20:23.660 --> 00:20:25.859
the<00:20:23.799><c> mind</c><00:20:23.960><c> of</c><00:20:24.160><c> the</c><00:20:24.279><c> Master</c><00:20:24.579><c> here</c><00:20:25.200><c> on</c><00:20:25.500><c> this</c><00:20:25.740><c> one.</c>

00:20:25.859 --> 00:20:29.359
Is<00:20:26.059><c> this</c><00:20:26.259><c> a</c><00:20:26.579><c> specific</c><00:20:27.220><c> sin</c><00:20:27.559><c> which</c><00:20:27.960><c> is</c><00:20:28.200><c> known</c><00:20:28.380><c> to</c><00:20:28.579><c> the</c><00:20:28.799><c> man</c><00:20:29.059><c> as</c>

00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:30.779
well<00:20:29.519><c> as</c><00:20:29.660><c> to</c><00:20:29.799><c> the</c><00:20:29.940><c> Lord,</c>

00:20:30.940 --> 00:20:34.880
which<00:20:31.220><c> is</c><00:20:31.539><c> linked</c><00:20:31.779><c> to</c><00:20:32.059><c> his</c><00:20:32.259><c> condition</c><00:20:32.759><c> over</c><00:20:32.980><c> the</c><00:20:33.119><c> last</c><00:20:33.319><c> 38</c><00:20:33.700><c> years?</c>

00:20:35.740 --> 00:20:40.000
Or<00:20:35.859><c> does</c><00:20:36.099><c> Jesus</c><00:20:36.539><c> feel</c><00:20:36.839><c> that</c><00:20:37.160><c> although</c><00:20:37.380><c> he</c><00:20:37.680><c> is</c><00:20:38.059><c> physically</c><00:20:38.519><c> whole,</c>

00:20:41.859 --> 00:20:47.859
his<00:20:42.039><c> spiritual</c><00:20:42.519><c> well</c><00:20:42.819><c>-being</c><00:20:43.240><c> is</c><00:20:44.640><c> in</c><00:20:45.299><c> some</c><00:20:45.799><c> disrepair?</c>

00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:51.579
Is<00:20:48.960><c> that</c><00:20:49.160><c> it?</c><00:20:49.299><c> I</c><00:20:49.500><c> mean,</c><00:20:49.500><c> I</c><00:20:49.819><c> understand</c><00:20:50.220><c> the</c><00:20:50.480><c> present</c><00:20:50.720><c> tense</c><00:20:51.160><c> of</c>

00:20:51.579 --> 00:20:54.460
the<00:20:51.799><c> verb</c><00:20:52.000><c> here</c><00:20:52.279><c> should</c><00:20:52.519><c> translate</c>

00:20:54.460 --> 00:20:58.660
to<00:20:54.460><c> say,</c><00:20:54.900><c> no</c><00:20:55.079><c> longer</c><00:20:55.720><c> continue</c><00:20:56.759><c> in</c><00:20:57.720><c> sin.</c>

00:20:59.819 --> 00:21:02.640
Maybe<00:21:00.180><c> it's</c><00:21:00.500><c> a</c><00:21:00.599><c> reference</c><00:21:00.900><c> to</c><00:21:01.140><c> his</c><00:21:01.359><c> need</c><00:21:01.599><c> to</c><00:21:01.799><c> be</c><00:21:02.059><c> grateful</c><00:21:02.400><c> for</c>

00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:04.480
God's<00:21:03.119><c> grace</c><00:21:03.480><c> in</c><00:21:03.900><c> healing</c><00:21:04.140><c> him.</c>

00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:09.579
Failure<00:21:05.299><c> to</c><00:21:05.519><c> respond</c><00:21:06.420><c> to</c><00:21:06.839><c> this</c><00:21:07.099><c> in</c><00:21:07.299><c> the</c><00:21:07.599><c> right</c><00:21:07.900><c> frame</c><00:21:08.220><c> of</c><00:21:08.599><c> mind,</c>

00:21:10.220 --> 00:21:14.099
in<00:21:10.359><c> the</c><00:21:10.519><c> right</c><00:21:10.819><c> frame</c><00:21:11.079><c> of</c><00:21:11.420><c> life,</c><00:21:11.700><c> we</c><00:21:11.880><c> might</c><00:21:12.160><c> say,</c><00:21:12.960><c> can</c><00:21:13.119><c> only</c><00:21:13.380><c> result</c><00:21:13.819><c> in</c>

00:21:14.099 --> 00:21:15.420
something<00:21:14.440><c> worse.</c>

00:21:15.819 --> 00:21:19.319
And<00:21:16.299><c> what</c><00:21:16.460><c> is</c><00:21:16.660><c> that</c><00:21:17.019><c> worse</c><00:21:17.240><c> thing?</c><00:21:17.940><c> It's</c><00:21:18.539><c> God's</c><00:21:18.920><c> judgment.</c>

00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:22.519
And<00:21:19.900><c> interestingly,</c><00:21:20.839><c> that</c><00:21:21.059><c> comes</c><00:21:21.440><c> a</c><00:21:21.579><c> little</c><00:21:21.720><c> later</c><00:21:22.119><c> on</c><00:21:22.339><c> in</c>

00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:24.160
the<00:21:22.660><c> chapter.</c>

00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:29.160
So<00:21:27.579><c> there's</c><00:21:27.660><c> a</c><00:21:27.720><c> bit</c><00:21:27.779><c> of</c><00:21:27.920><c> a</c><00:21:28.019><c> mystery</c><00:21:28.259><c> about</c><00:21:28.579><c> that.</c>

00:21:29.500 --> 00:21:33.960
But<00:21:29.619><c> what</c><00:21:29.720><c> is</c><00:21:30.019><c> clear</c><00:21:30.200><c> now,</c><00:21:31.019><c> the</c><00:21:31.160><c> man</c><00:21:31.359><c> knows</c><00:21:31.960><c> who's</c><00:21:33.000><c> healed</c><00:21:33.160><c> him.</c>

00:21:34.259 --> 00:21:37.319
And<00:21:34.500><c> he</c><00:21:34.799><c> goes</c><00:21:35.059><c> to</c><00:21:35.240><c> the</c><00:21:35.420><c> authorities</c><00:21:35.880><c> with</c><00:21:36.559><c> the</c><00:21:36.799><c> information</c>

00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:38.440
that<00:21:37.880><c> they</c><00:21:38.240><c> want.</c>

00:21:38.539 --> 00:21:41.279
So<00:21:38.759><c> the</c><00:21:39.339><c> man</c><00:21:39.579><c> does</c><00:21:39.839><c> not</c><00:21:40.039><c> show</c><00:21:40.259><c> up</c><00:21:40.359><c> in</c><00:21:40.519><c> very</c><00:21:40.680><c> good</c><00:21:40.859><c> light</c><00:21:41.099><c> at</c>

00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:42.279
this<00:21:41.420><c> particular</c><00:21:41.900><c> point.</c>

00:21:42.500 --> 00:21:46.559
And<00:21:42.759><c> here</c><00:21:42.920><c> we</c><00:21:43.079><c> are</c><00:21:43.319><c> alerted</c><00:21:43.640><c> to</c><00:21:43.819><c> the</c><00:21:43.980><c> idea</c><00:21:44.259><c> that</c><00:21:44.460><c> physical</c><00:21:44.900><c> healing</c><00:21:45.480><c> does</c><00:21:46.259><c> not</c>

00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:48.920
always<00:21:46.900><c> lead</c><00:21:47.200><c> to</c><00:21:47.819><c> spiritual</c><00:21:48.440><c> healing.</c>

00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:52.000
And<00:21:49.440><c> perhaps,</c><00:21:49.859><c> therefore,</c><00:21:50.059><c> when</c><00:21:50.259><c> Jesus</c><00:21:50.619><c> came</c><00:21:50.940><c> back</c><00:21:51.240><c> to</c><00:21:51.440><c> him,</c>

00:21:52.420 --> 00:21:56.039
being<00:21:52.700><c> the</c><00:21:52.940><c> man</c><00:21:53.140><c> who'd</c><00:21:53.599><c> read</c><00:21:53.740><c> everybody's</c><00:21:54.480><c> heart,</c><00:21:54.819><c> you</c><00:21:54.819><c> understand,</c>

00:21:56.180 --> 00:21:59.480
he<00:21:56.359><c> comes</c><00:21:56.660><c> back</c><00:21:56.940><c> to</c><00:21:57.099><c> the</c><00:21:57.299><c> man,</c><00:21:58.119><c> as</c><00:21:58.339><c> it</c><00:21:58.559><c> were,</c><00:21:58.740><c> to</c><00:21:58.839><c> deal</c><00:21:59.059><c> with</c>

00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:01.519
unfinished<00:22:00.039><c> business.</c>

00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:10.559
Well,<00:22:07.319><c> I'm</c><00:22:07.599><c> not</c><00:22:07.940><c> sure</c><00:22:08.359><c> that</c><00:22:08.559><c> this</c><00:22:08.819><c> is</c><00:22:09.160><c> entirely</c><00:22:09.700><c> ingratitude</c>

00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:13.220
as<00:22:10.839><c> far</c><00:22:11.140><c> as</c><00:22:11.400><c> the</c><00:22:11.640><c> man</c><00:22:12.039><c> is</c><00:22:12.839><c> concerned.</c>

00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:16.299
I<00:22:13.359><c> think</c><00:22:13.420><c> it's</c><00:22:13.660><c> just</c><00:22:13.980><c> dullness</c><00:22:14.319><c> of</c><00:22:14.599><c> appreciation</c><00:22:15.220><c> possibly.</c>

00:22:16.940 --> 00:22:20.180
I<00:22:17.460><c> don't</c><00:22:17.619><c> think</c><00:22:17.759><c> he</c><00:22:17.920><c> was</c><00:22:18.579><c> deliberately</c><00:22:19.200><c> trying</c><00:22:19.480><c> to</c><00:22:19.700><c> get</c><00:22:19.839><c> Jesus</c>

00:22:20.180 --> 00:22:21.900
into<00:22:20.519><c> trouble.</c>

00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:26.359
He's<00:22:22.759><c> an</c><00:22:22.940><c> ordinary</c><00:22:23.200><c> man,</c><00:22:23.819><c> frankly,</c><00:22:24.460><c> just</c><00:22:24.599><c> trying</c><00:22:24.759><c> to</c><00:22:25.079><c> extricate</c><00:22:25.599><c> himself</c>

00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:29.180
out<00:22:27.000><c> of</c><00:22:27.200><c> a</c><00:22:27.480><c> tricky</c><00:22:27.779><c> situation</c><00:22:28.420><c> with</c><00:22:28.640><c> the</c><00:22:28.839><c> authorities.</c>

00:22:29.380 --> 00:22:30.759
Who<00:22:29.579><c> wouldn't</c><00:22:29.859><c> want</c><00:22:30.099><c> to</c><00:22:30.259><c> do</c><00:22:30.460><c> that?</c>

00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:34.759
Particularly<00:22:31.339><c> the</c><00:22:31.579><c> religious</c><00:22:31.940><c> authorities</c><00:22:32.460><c> 2</c><00:22:33.019><c>,000</c><00:22:33.240><c> years</c><00:22:33.480><c> ago</c><00:22:33.640><c> in</c><00:22:33.779><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:22:35.500 --> 00:22:38.460
Not<00:22:35.700><c> nice</c><00:22:36.000><c> people</c><00:22:36.400><c> to</c><00:22:36.700><c> cross,</c><00:22:37.180><c> you</c><00:22:37.180><c> know,</c><00:22:37.299><c> sometimes.</c>

00:22:38.980 --> 00:22:40.660
Maybe<00:22:39.279><c> that's</c><00:22:39.519><c> what</c><00:22:39.640><c> it's</c><00:22:39.900><c> about.</c>

00:22:41.220 --> 00:22:42.140
He<00:22:41.299><c> just</c><00:22:41.519><c> wanted</c><00:22:41.619><c> to</c><00:22:41.819><c> make</c><00:22:41.940><c> it</c><00:22:42.059><c> clear.</c>

00:22:42.140 --> 00:22:44.539
Look,<00:22:42.420><c> look,</c><00:22:42.779><c> I'm</c><00:22:43.079><c> sure,</c><00:22:43.319><c> I</c><00:22:43.539><c> was</c><00:22:43.759><c> carrying</c><00:22:44.099><c> the</c><00:22:44.359><c> mat.</c>

00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:48.019
I'm<00:22:44.920><c> sure</c><00:22:45.119><c> it</c><00:22:45.240><c> was</c><00:22:45.440><c> a</c><00:22:45.680><c> Sabbath,</c><00:22:45.779><c> but</c><00:22:46.240><c> it</c><00:22:46.359><c> wasn't</c><00:22:46.640><c> my</c><00:22:46.960><c> fault.</c>

00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:54.000
Well,<00:22:50.539><c> now</c><00:22:50.779><c> that</c><00:22:50.940><c> they</c><00:22:51.180><c> have</c><00:22:51.460><c> identified</c><00:22:52.180><c> the</c><00:22:52.599><c> Sabbath</c><00:22:52.859><c> breaker,</c><00:22:53.799><c> now</c>

00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:54.859
look<00:22:54.200><c> what</c><00:22:54.480><c> happens.</c>

00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:58.680
In<00:22:55.079><c> verse</c><00:22:55.319><c> 16,</c><00:22:56.359><c> those</c><00:22:56.599><c> authorities</c><00:22:57.339><c> will</c><00:22:57.799><c> now</c><00:22:58.200><c> seek</c><00:22:58.380><c> to</c>

00:22:58.680 --> 00:23:00.200

00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:07.920
Alright,<00:23:05.460><c> so</c><00:23:05.640><c> 16</c><00:23:06.039><c> persecute,</c><00:23:06.920><c> verse</c><00:23:07.240><c> 18</c><00:23:07.680><c> kill.</c>

00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:09.960
What's<00:23:08.299><c> happening</c><00:23:08.460><c> in</c><00:23:08.599><c> verse</c><00:23:08.799><c> 17?</c><00:23:09.299><c> Here</c><00:23:09.480><c> it</c><00:23:09.700><c> is.</c>

00:23:09.960 --> 00:23:12.000
Verse<00:23:10.339><c> 17,</c><00:23:10.819><c> Jesus</c><00:23:11.160><c> answered</c><00:23:11.480><c> them,</c>

00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:17.799
my<00:23:12.680><c> father</c><00:23:13.839><c> works</c><00:23:14.960><c> even</c><00:23:15.539><c> until</c><00:23:15.819><c> now</c><00:23:16.519><c> and</c><00:23:17.180><c> I</c><00:23:17.460><c> work.</c>

00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:19.440
That's<00:23:18.440><c> the</c><00:23:18.599><c> difference.</c>

00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:24.500
It<00:23:20.880><c> may</c><00:23:21.059><c> just</c><00:23:21.259><c> have</c><00:23:21.480><c> stayed</c><00:23:21.559><c> at</c><00:23:21.759><c> persecution</c><00:23:22.480><c> if</c><00:23:24.099><c> he</c><00:23:24.259><c> hadn't</c>

00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:29.759
but<00:23:26.420><c> verse</c><00:23:26.700><c> 17</c><00:23:27.099><c> is</c><00:23:27.339><c> critical</c><00:23:27.819><c> to</c><00:23:28.240><c> understanding</c><00:23:28.759><c> how</c><00:23:29.000><c> the</c><00:23:29.279><c> authorities</c><00:23:29.599><c> are</c>

00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:41.319
Real<00:23:38.839><c> hardening</c><00:23:39.640><c> of</c><00:23:40.440><c> attitude.</c>

00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:49.140
Jesus<00:23:42.200><c> is</c><00:23:43.700><c> telling</c><00:23:43.980><c> them</c><00:23:44.440><c> and</c><00:23:44.799><c> us</c><00:23:45.119><c> that</c><00:23:45.539><c> God</c><00:23:45.980><c> did</c><00:23:46.680><c> not</c><00:23:47.079><c> stop</c><00:23:47.380><c> work</c><00:23:47.759><c> entirely</c><00:23:48.500><c> on</c>

00:23:49.140 --> 00:23:50.200
the<00:23:49.380><c> Sabbath.</c>

00:23:51.740 --> 00:23:54.839
So<00:23:52.220><c> I</c><00:23:52.579><c> can't</c><00:23:53.000><c> either,</c><00:23:53.859><c> he</c><00:23:53.859><c> says.</c>

00:23:55.660 --> 00:23:59.099
It's<00:23:55.920><c> true,</c><00:23:56.119><c> God</c><00:23:56.339><c> rested</c><00:23:56.940><c> on</c><00:23:57.599><c> the</c><00:23:57.819><c> seventh</c><00:23:58.039><c> day</c><00:23:58.440><c> from</c><00:23:58.779><c> the</c>

00:24:03.900 --> 00:24:07.880

00:24:27.819 --> 00:24:30.680
Jesus<00:24:28.220><c> answered</c><00:24:28.579><c> and</c><00:24:28.819><c> said</c><00:24:28.940><c> unto</c><00:24:29.160><c> them,</c><00:24:29.339><c> I've</c><00:24:29.660><c> done</c><00:24:29.900><c> one</c><00:24:30.279><c> work</c>

00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:18.920
We<00:28:15.200><c> do</c><00:28:15.420><c> well</c><00:28:15.599><c> to</c><00:28:15.940><c> remember</c><00:28:16.500><c> what</c><00:28:17.099><c> God</c><00:28:17.420><c> is</c><00:28:17.720><c> prepared</c><00:28:18.079><c> to</c><00:28:18.339><c> do</c><00:28:18.539><c> for</c>

00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:19.380
his<00:28:19.200><c> son</c>

00:28:19.380 --> 00:28:22.279
on<00:28:19.599><c> the</c><00:28:19.819><c> basis</c><00:28:20.079><c> of</c><00:28:20.319><c> the</c><00:28:20.539><c> work</c><00:28:20.680><c> that</c><00:28:20.819><c> he's</c><00:28:21.220><c> carried</c><00:28:21.359><c> out.</c>

00:28:22.779 --> 00:28:25.619
I<00:28:23.000><c> think</c><00:28:23.140><c> God</c><00:28:23.400><c> expects</c><00:28:24.019><c> us</c><00:28:24.220><c> to</c><00:28:24.380><c> have</c><00:28:24.500><c> the</c><00:28:24.819><c> deepest</c><00:28:25.160><c> reverence</c>

00:28:25.619 --> 00:28:26.460

00:28:26.859 --> 00:28:32.039
We're<00:28:27.180><c> taking</c><00:28:27.460><c> nothing</c><00:28:27.920><c> from</c><00:28:28.160><c> the</c><00:28:28.420><c> Father</c><00:28:28.740><c> by</c><00:28:29.920><c> speaking</c><00:28:30.559><c> reverentially</c><00:28:31.299><c> about</c><00:28:31.859><c> the</c>

00:28:32.039 --> 00:28:32.900
Lord<00:28:32.180><c> Jesus</c><00:28:32.599><c> Christ</c>

00:28:32.900 --> 00:28:35.539
because<00:28:33.059><c> it's</c><00:28:33.299><c> what</c><00:28:33.839><c> God</c><00:28:34.440><c> wants.</c>

00:28:35.680 --> 00:28:37.819
It's<00:28:36.019><c> with</c><00:28:36.160><c> his</c><00:28:36.420><c> approval,</c><00:28:37.119><c> I</c><00:28:37.339><c> have</c><00:28:37.539><c> to</c><00:28:37.720><c> say,</c>

00:28:37.900 --> 00:28:40.220
it<00:28:37.960><c> seems</c><00:28:38.140><c> to</c><00:28:38.240><c> me</c><00:28:38.319><c> that's</c><00:28:38.539><c> the</c><00:28:38.680><c> point</c><00:28:38.839><c> that's</c><00:28:39.099><c> made</c><00:28:39.299><c> here</c><00:28:39.519><c> in</c>

00:28:40.220 --> 00:28:42.019

00:28:42.019 --> 00:28:49.400
But<00:28:42.259><c> anyway,</c><00:28:42.640><c> I'll</c><00:28:43.839><c> leave</c><00:28:44.119><c> that</c><00:28:44.440><c> there</c><00:28:45.720><c> and</c><00:28:47.299><c> make</c><00:28:48.359><c> of</c><00:28:48.859><c> that</c>

00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:50.420
what<00:28:50.059><c> you</c><00:28:50.319><c> will.</c>

00:28:50.440 --> 00:28:53.200
I'm<00:28:50.599><c> just</c><00:28:50.900><c> struck</c><00:28:51.059><c> though</c><00:28:51.299><c> by</c><00:28:51.480><c> that</c><00:28:51.720><c> growing</c><00:28:52.000><c> sense</c><00:28:52.380><c> of</c><00:28:52.880><c> authority.</c>

00:28:53.279 --> 00:28:55.640
But<00:28:53.460><c> it</c><00:28:53.579><c> starts</c><00:28:53.859><c> here,</c><00:28:54.119><c> this</c><00:28:54.259><c> is</c><00:28:54.440><c> my</c><00:28:54.640><c> point.</c>

00:28:57.640 --> 00:29:00.779
Now<00:28:57.720><c> there</c><00:28:57.839><c> is</c><00:28:57.940><c> a</c><00:28:58.140><c> particular</c><00:28:58.559><c> context</c><00:28:59.019><c> here</c><00:28:59.319><c> of</c><00:28:59.660><c> resurrection.</c>

00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:01.859
Look<00:29:01.079><c> at</c><00:29:01.160><c> verse</c><00:29:01.380><c> 21.</c>

00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:05.599
For<00:29:02.180><c> as</c><00:29:02.539><c> the</c><00:29:02.779><c> Father</c><00:29:03.160><c> raises</c><00:29:03.720><c> up</c><00:29:04.259><c> the</c><00:29:04.539><c> dead</c><00:29:04.779><c> and</c><00:29:05.079><c> quickens</c><00:29:05.400><c> them,</c>

00:29:05.740 --> 00:29:07.700
even<00:29:05.980><c> so</c><00:29:06.119><c> the</c><00:29:06.259><c> Son</c><00:29:06.539><c> quickens</c><00:29:06.920><c> whom</c><00:29:07.160><c> he</c><00:29:07.460><c> will.</c>

00:29:07.700 --> 00:29:12.160
This<00:29:08.640><c> isn't</c><00:29:09.039><c> physical</c><00:29:09.519><c> resurrection,</c><00:29:11.660><c> is</c><00:29:11.779><c> it?</c>

00:29:12.539 --> 00:29:15.279
This<00:29:12.819><c> is</c><00:29:13.059><c> spiritual,</c><00:29:13.940><c> do</c><00:29:14.140><c> you</c><00:29:14.180><c> not</c><00:29:14.420><c> think?</c>

00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:17.660
But<00:29:15.799><c> it</c><00:29:15.900><c> is</c><00:29:16.099><c> the</c><00:29:16.359><c> same</c><00:29:16.599><c> word.</c>

00:29:17.759 --> 00:29:23.599
This<00:29:18.299><c> raiseth</c><00:29:18.700><c> there</c><00:29:18.900><c> in</c><00:29:19.079><c> verse</c><00:29:19.359><c> 21</c><00:29:20.180><c> is</c><00:29:21.640><c> the</c><00:29:21.940><c> same</c><00:29:22.200><c> word</c><00:29:22.799><c> that</c>

00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:26.000
was<00:29:24.039><c> used</c><00:29:24.339><c> by</c><00:29:24.660><c> Jesus</c><00:29:25.019><c> in</c><00:29:25.240><c> verse</c><00:29:25.539><c> 8</c>

00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:29.640
when<00:29:26.259><c> he</c><00:29:26.480><c> said</c><00:29:26.680><c> to</c><00:29:26.859><c> the</c><00:29:27.059><c> invalid,</c><00:29:28.819><c> rise.</c>

00:29:30.380 --> 00:29:31.779
That's<00:29:30.859><c> physical.</c>

00:29:32.180 --> 00:29:33.799
Here<00:29:32.339><c> it's</c><00:29:32.740><c> spiritual.</c>

00:29:35.420 --> 00:29:40.339
And<00:29:35.940><c> that</c><00:29:36.460><c> man</c><00:29:36.960><c> was</c><00:29:38.640><c> actually</c><00:29:39.079><c> introduced,</c><00:29:39.640><c> was</c><00:29:39.819><c> he</c><00:29:39.960><c> not,</c><00:29:40.119><c> to</c>

00:29:40.339 --> 00:29:41.640
a<00:29:40.420><c> new</c><00:29:40.640><c> life.</c>

00:29:42.299 --> 00:29:43.539
It<00:29:42.539><c> was</c><00:29:42.859><c> fresh</c><00:29:43.119><c> for</c><00:29:43.359><c> him.</c>

00:29:43.539 --> 00:29:45.599
He'd<00:29:43.799><c> not</c><00:29:44.099><c> walked</c><00:29:44.359><c> for</c><00:29:44.619><c> 38</c><00:29:45.039><c> years.</c>

00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:48.420
Imagine<00:29:46.240><c> all</c><00:29:46.480><c> the</c><00:29:46.599><c> things</c><00:29:46.740><c> that</c><00:29:46.920><c> he</c><00:29:47.259><c> could</c><00:29:47.559><c> do</c><00:29:47.819><c> now</c>

00:29:48.420 --> 00:29:51.420
that<00:29:48.819><c> he'd</c><00:29:48.940><c> not</c><00:29:49.140><c> been</c><00:29:49.279><c> able</c><00:29:49.380><c> to</c><00:29:49.519><c> do</c><00:29:49.599><c> for</c><00:29:49.819><c> all</c><00:29:50.000><c> that</c><00:29:50.279><c> time.</c>

00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:56.960
So<00:29:52.660><c> spiritually</c><00:29:53.119><c> and</c><00:29:53.779><c> physically</c><00:29:54.259><c> Jesus</c><00:29:55.500><c> potentially</c><00:29:56.440><c> did</c>

00:29:56.960 --> 00:29:58.640
that<00:29:57.460><c> for</c><00:29:58.000><c> this</c><00:29:58.359><c> man.</c>

00:29:58.799 --> 00:30:00.680
And<00:29:58.980><c> I</c><00:29:59.160><c> bring</c><00:29:59.319><c> you</c><00:29:59.480><c> down</c><00:29:59.660><c> to</c><00:29:59.799><c> verse</c><00:30:00.019><c> 24.</c>

00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:14.200
It's<00:30:12.319><c> his</c><00:30:12.480><c> resurrection</c><00:30:12.900><c> language,</c><00:30:13.400><c> isn't</c><00:30:13.599><c> it?</c>

00:30:14.660 --> 00:30:17.559

So<00:30:42.440><c> this</c><00:30:42.619><c> has</c><00:30:42.940><c> happened</c><00:30:43.140><c> to</c><00:30:43.380><c> this</c><00:30:43.619><c> man,</c><00:30:43.839><c> or</c><00:30:44.000><c> potentially</c><00:30:44.460><c> this</c>

00:30:44.599 --> 00:30:45.380
could<00:30:44.759><c> happen</c><00:30:44.940><c> to</c><00:30:45.099><c> this</c><00:30:45.279><c> man,</c>

00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:47.839
but<00:30:45.799><c> that's</c><00:30:46.200><c> the</c><00:30:46.380><c> unknown</c><00:30:46.740><c> here.</c>

00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:50.819
He<00:30:48.700><c> physically</c><00:30:49.019><c> has</c><00:30:49.259><c> been</c><00:30:49.539><c> raised,</c><00:30:49.720><c> so</c><00:30:49.940><c> to</c><00:30:50.160><c> speak,</c><00:30:50.359><c> in</c><00:30:50.460><c> the</c><00:30:50.579><c> sense</c><00:30:50.680><c> that</c><00:30:50.819><c> he</c>

00:30:50.819 --> 00:30:52.839
can<00:30:51.019><c> now</c><00:30:51.259><c> walk.</c>

00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:58.200
Spiritually,<00:30:55.759><c> that's</c><00:30:56.319><c> left</c><00:30:56.660><c> in</c><00:30:57.359><c> the</c><00:30:57.519><c> air</c><00:30:57.660><c> a</c><00:30:57.740><c> little</c><00:30:57.920><c> bit</c><00:30:58.039><c> at</c>

00:30:58.200 --> 00:30:58.759
the<00:30:58.339><c> moment.</c>

00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:03.900
Difficult<00:30:59.660><c> to</c><00:30:59.920><c> say</c><00:31:00.119><c> just</c><00:31:00.359><c> how</c><00:31:00.619><c> this</c><00:31:00.920><c> man</c><00:31:01.200><c> has</c><00:31:02.000><c> responded</c><00:31:02.779><c> internally</c>

00:31:03.900 --> 00:31:08.259
to<00:31:04.619><c> what</c><00:31:04.839><c> the</c><00:31:04.980><c> Lord</c><00:31:05.160><c> Jesus</c><00:31:05.599><c> Christ</c><00:31:06.059><c> has</c><00:31:06.940><c> done</c><00:31:07.500><c> for</c><00:31:07.859><c> him.</c>

00:31:08.700 --> 00:31:12.180
But<00:31:09.259><c> just</c><00:31:09.640><c> take</c><00:31:09.819><c> on</c><00:31:10.039><c> board</c><00:31:10.180><c> what</c><00:31:10.400><c> Jesus</c><00:31:10.680><c> is</c><00:31:10.960><c> saying</c><00:31:11.140><c> here.</c>

00:31:12.259 --> 00:31:13.140
Interesting,<00:31:12.759><c> isn't</c><00:31:12.859><c> it?</c>

00:31:13.240 --> 00:31:15.940
There<00:31:13.420><c> is</c><00:31:13.640><c> a</c><00:31:13.839><c> sense</c><00:31:14.039><c> in</c><00:31:14.299><c> which</c><00:31:14.660><c> judgment</c><00:31:15.079><c> takes</c><00:31:15.400><c> place</c><00:31:15.700><c> here</c>

00:31:15.940 --> 00:31:17.779
and<00:31:16.140><c> now.</c>

00:31:18.819 --> 00:31:23.339
Whenever<00:31:19.480><c> a</c><00:31:19.740><c> man</c><00:31:19.839><c> is</c><00:31:20.180><c> confronted</c><00:31:20.680><c> with</c><00:31:21.400><c> Jesus,</c><00:31:22.099><c> he</c><00:31:22.519><c> at</c><00:31:22.920><c> once</c>

00:31:23.339 --> 00:31:25.500
passes<00:31:23.859><c> judgment</c><00:31:24.480><c> on</c><00:31:25.079><c> himself.</c>

00:31:25.660 --> 00:31:30.220
If<00:31:25.660><c> he</c><00:31:25.839><c> sees</c><00:31:26.099><c> in</c><00:31:26.279><c> Jesus</c><00:31:26.720><c> nothing</c><00:31:27.259><c> to</c><00:31:27.519><c> desire,</c><00:31:28.019><c> nothing</c><00:31:28.259><c> to</c><00:31:28.599><c> admire,</c><00:31:29.539><c> nothing</c><00:31:29.779><c> to</c><00:31:30.059><c> love,</c>

00:31:30.339 --> 00:31:32.279
then<00:31:30.460><c> he's</c><00:31:30.740><c> condemned</c><00:31:31.019><c> himself.</c>

00:31:34.099 --> 00:31:36.839
But<00:31:34.619><c> if</c><00:31:34.779><c> he</c><00:31:34.960><c> sees</c><00:31:35.160><c> all</c><00:31:35.480><c> these</c><00:31:35.720><c> things</c><00:31:35.920><c> in</c><00:31:36.099><c> Jesus,</c>

be<00:31:59.819><c> forgiven.</c>

00:32:00.380 --> 00:32:03.799
Until<00:32:00.819><c> that</c><00:32:01.180><c> moment,</c><00:32:01.680><c> says</c><00:32:01.759><c> Jesus,</c><00:32:02.299><c> and</c><00:32:02.500><c> these</c><00:32:02.940><c> are</c><00:32:03.200><c> his</c><00:32:03.400><c> words,</c>

00:32:10.900 --> 00:32:16.420
And<00:32:11.420><c> you</c><00:32:11.779><c> have</c><00:32:11.960><c> to</c><00:32:12.180><c> say</c><00:32:12.500><c> the</c><00:32:13.779><c> world</c><00:32:14.180><c> outside</c><00:32:14.819><c> is</c><00:32:15.680><c> a</c><00:32:15.940><c> dead,</c><00:32:16.099><c> it's</c>

00:32:25.420 --> 00:32:28.920
They<00:32:25.880><c> live</c><00:32:26.259><c> when</c><00:32:26.599><c> they</c><00:32:26.900><c> come</c><00:32:27.079><c> in</c><00:32:27.400><c> contact</c><00:32:27.660><c> with</c><00:32:27.819><c> the</c><00:32:27.940><c> Lord</c><00:32:28.059><c> Jesus</c><00:32:28.460><c> Christ</c><00:32:28.700><c> and</c>

00:32:29.819 --> 00:32:32.180
That's<00:32:30.099><c> the</c><00:32:30.279><c> point</c><00:32:30.400><c> he's</c><00:32:30.660><c> making</c><00:32:30.980><c> here.</c>

00:32:32.299 --> 00:32:34.539
Hence,<00:32:32.640><c> of</c><00:32:32.680><c> course,</c><00:32:32.819><c> the</c><00:32:32.940><c> language</c><00:32:33.200><c> of</c><00:32:33.420><c> Paul</c><00:32:33.599><c> about</c><00:32:33.819><c> being</c><00:32:34.079><c> dead</c><00:32:34.339><c> in</c>

It's<00:34:05.200><c> a</c><00:34:05.359><c> massive</c><00:34:05.660><c> challenge.</c>

00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:10.579
We<00:34:07.299><c> are</c><00:34:07.559><c> called</c><00:34:07.720><c> upon</c><00:34:08.019><c> to</c><00:34:08.219><c> pay</c><00:34:08.340><c> more</c><00:34:08.619><c> than</c><00:34:08.760><c> lip</c><00:34:08.960><c> service</c><00:34:09.679><c> to</c>

00:34:14.760 --> 00:34:16.860

Christ's<00:34:17.780><c> staggering</c><00:34:18.119><c> claims</c><00:34:18.659><c> are</c><00:34:19.059><c> sending</c><00:34:19.360><c> shockwaves</c>

00:34:23.019 --> 00:34:28.340
And<00:34:23.340><c> quite</c><00:34:23.940><c> clearly,</c><00:34:25.599><c> it</c><00:34:25.780><c> would</c><00:34:26.119><c> not</c><00:34:26.320><c> do</c><00:34:26.539><c> to</c><00:34:26.760><c> vouch</c><00:34:26.980><c> for</c><00:34:27.239><c> yourself.</c>

00:34:29.940 --> 00:34:32.440
Jesus<00:34:30.460><c> could</c><00:34:30.800><c> not</c><00:34:30.980><c> respond</c><00:34:31.460><c> to</c><00:34:31.719><c> their</c><00:34:32.059><c> outcries.</c>

00:34:32.539 --> 00:34:34.059
Well,<00:34:32.920><c> because</c><00:34:33.179><c> I</c><00:34:33.460><c> say</c><00:34:33.639><c> so.</c>

but<00:35:43.320><c> these</c><00:35:43.659><c> things</c><00:35:43.920><c> I</c><00:35:44.360><c> say</c><00:35:44.719><c> that</c><00:35:45.159><c> you</c><00:35:45.539><c> might</c><00:35:45.900><c> be</c><00:35:47.000><c> saved.</c>

00:35:48.360 --> 00:35:51.980
John<00:35:48.920><c> Baptist</c><00:35:49.400><c> wasn't</c><00:35:49.940><c> just</c><00:35:50.360><c> simply</c><00:35:50.679><c> some</c><00:35:51.000><c> ordinary</c><00:35:51.460><c> man</c><00:35:51.780><c> there</c>

00:35:51.980 --> 00:35:55.800
down<00:35:52.159><c> by</c><00:35:52.340><c> the</c><00:35:52.460><c> River</c><00:35:52.719><c> Jordan</c><00:35:53.219><c> just</c><00:35:54.260><c> dipping</c><00:35:54.639><c> people</c><00:35:55.099><c> in</c><00:35:55.380><c> the</c><00:35:55.599><c> river.</c>

00:35:55.960 --> 00:35:59.679
This<00:35:56.119><c> is</c><00:35:56.380><c> a</c><00:35:56.599><c> man</c><00:35:56.900><c> who</c><00:35:57.280><c> brought</c><00:35:57.659><c> men</c><00:35:58.039><c> and</c><00:35:58.340><c> women</c><00:35:58.619><c> to</c><00:35:58.840><c> their</c><00:35:59.139><c> senses</c>

00:35:59.679 --> 00:36:02.980
in<00:36:00.179><c> terms</c><00:36:00.519><c> of</c><00:36:00.739><c> where</c><00:36:00.920><c> they</c><00:36:01.219><c> stood</c><00:36:01.420><c> before</c><00:36:01.780><c> their</c><00:36:02.019><c> creator.</c>

00:36:03.099 --> 00:36:06.159
It<00:36:03.300><c> was</c><00:36:03.519><c> a</c><00:36:03.760><c> baptism</c><00:36:04.139><c> for</c><00:36:04.420><c> the</c><00:36:04.559><c> remission</c><00:36:04.920><c> of</c><00:36:05.219><c> sins.</c>

00:36:07.139 --> 00:36:09.280
It's<00:36:07.380><c> a</c><00:36:07.579><c> starting</c><00:36:07.780><c> point,</c><00:36:08.199><c> isn't</c><00:36:08.300><c> it?</c>

00:36:10.059 --> 00:36:11.840
It<00:36:10.320><c> was</c><00:36:10.500><c> to</c><00:36:10.639><c> do</c><00:36:10.760><c> with</c><00:36:10.920><c> salvation</c><00:36:11.360><c> ultimately</c>

00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:14.679
because<00:36:12.360><c> this</c><00:36:12.760><c> was</c><00:36:12.880><c> the</c><00:36:13.079><c> man</c><00:36:13.340><c> who</c><00:36:13.719><c> pointed</c><00:36:13.940><c> out</c><00:36:14.199><c> one</c><00:36:14.440><c> day,</c>

00:36:14.679 --> 00:36:19.500
behold,<00:36:15.619><c> the</c><00:36:15.780><c> lamb</c><00:36:16.260><c> that</c><00:36:16.639><c> takes</c><00:36:16.880><c> away</c><00:36:17.280><c> the</c><00:36:17.659><c> sin</c><00:36:18.039><c> of</c><00:36:18.400><c> the</c><00:36:18.599><c> world.</c>

00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:27.139
So<00:36:23.119><c> Jesus</c><00:36:23.860><c> is</c><00:36:24.239><c> quite</c><00:36:24.460><c> justified</c><00:36:25.260><c> in</c><00:36:26.139><c> putting</c><00:36:26.400><c> John</c><00:36:26.739><c> Baptist.</c>

00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:29.579
These<00:36:27.940><c> people</c><00:36:28.199><c> went</c><00:36:28.380><c> to</c><00:36:28.599><c> listen</c><00:36:28.760><c> to</c><00:36:29.000><c> him.</c>

00:36:30.059 --> 00:36:32.860
You<00:36:30.260><c> know,</c><00:36:30.280><c> he</c><00:36:30.420><c> struck</c><00:36:30.579><c> a</c><00:36:30.820><c> chord</c><00:36:30.920><c> with</c><00:36:31.139><c> people</c><00:36:31.440><c> without</c><00:36:31.820><c> question.</c>

00:36:35.179 --> 00:36:38.619
And<00:36:35.420><c> human</c><00:36:35.659><c> testimony</c><00:36:36.239><c> is</c><00:36:37.460><c> still</c><00:36:37.699><c> important</c><00:36:38.280><c> now,</c>

00:36:38.739 --> 00:36:40.579
2<00:36:38.980><c>,000</c><00:36:39.219><c> years</c><00:36:39.420><c> later.</c>

00:36:41.000 --> 00:36:42.179
Ours.

00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:44.099
Somebody<00:36:42.480><c> once</c><00:36:42.820><c> said,</c>

00:36:44.599 --> 00:36:47.719
who,<00:36:45.019><c> having</c><00:36:45.300><c> been</c><00:36:45.699><c> called</c><00:36:46.019><c> to</c><00:36:46.300><c> be</c><00:36:46.559><c> a</c><00:36:46.780><c> preacher,</c>

00:36:48.800 --> 00:36:51.360
would<00:36:49.119><c> stoop</c><00:36:49.599><c> to</c><00:36:49.960><c> be</c><00:36:50.179><c> a</c><00:36:50.400><c> king.</c>

00:36:52.219 --> 00:36:53.340
Great<00:36:52.480><c> work.</c>

00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:57.039
Have<00:36:54.059><c> we</c><00:36:54.239><c> got</c><00:36:54.380><c> the</c><00:36:54.579><c> same</c><00:36:54.760><c> vision</c><00:36:55.119><c> of</c><00:36:55.519><c> this</c><00:36:55.780><c> man</c><00:36:56.159><c> from</c><00:36:56.559><c> Nazareth</c>

00:36:57.039 --> 00:36:58.539
as<00:36:57.639><c> John?</c>

00:36:58.559 --> 00:37:00.699
Second<00:36:58.900><c> witness,</c><00:36:59.579><c> the</c><00:36:59.739><c> miracles.</c>

00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:05.000
Now<00:37:01.579><c> Jesus</c><00:37:01.980><c> at</c><00:37:02.139><c> least</c><00:37:02.260><c> could</c><00:37:02.460><c> say,</c><00:37:02.980><c> I</c><00:37:03.179><c> just</c><00:37:03.460><c> did</c><00:37:03.619><c> that.</c>

00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:09.280
This<00:37:05.440><c> man</c><00:37:06.420><c> who's</c><00:37:06.639><c> not</c><00:37:06.900><c> been</c><00:37:08.099><c> walking</c><00:37:08.260><c> for</c><00:37:08.519><c> 38</c><00:37:08.920><c> years,</c>

00:37:09.280 --> 00:37:11.860
they're<00:37:09.860><c> now</c><00:37:10.480><c> in</c><00:37:10.800><c> front</c><00:37:10.960><c> of</c><00:37:11.119><c> you.</c>

00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:13.920
They<00:37:12.219><c> couldn't</c><00:37:12.480><c> go</c><00:37:12.599><c> and</c><00:37:12.739><c> say</c><00:37:12.960><c> that.</c>

00:37:14.199 --> 00:37:18.079
So<00:37:14.360><c> it's</c><00:37:14.599><c> a</c><00:37:14.699><c> reasonable</c><00:37:15.719><c> testimony,</c><00:37:16.500><c> a</c><00:37:16.639><c> reasonable</c><00:37:17.519><c> witness.</c>

00:37:18.320 --> 00:37:20.360
It's<00:37:18.559><c> weightier</c><00:37:18.900><c> than</c><00:37:19.079><c> John's</c><00:37:19.460><c> witness</c><00:37:19.719><c> for</c><00:37:20.000><c> sure</c>

00:37:20.360 --> 00:37:24.039
because<00:37:20.880><c> this</c><00:37:21.099><c> was</c><00:37:21.239><c> actually</c><00:37:21.500><c> part</c><00:37:21.780><c> of</c><00:37:21.940><c> Jesus'</c><00:37:23.099><c> own</c><00:37:23.599><c> mission,</c>

00:37:24.380 --> 00:37:27.940
doing<00:37:24.980><c> God's</c><00:37:25.920><c> work</c><00:37:26.280><c> right</c><00:37:26.900><c> up</c><00:37:27.119><c> to</c><00:37:27.260><c> the</c><00:37:27.539><c> cross.</c>

00:37:28.380 --> 00:37:30.960
John<00:37:28.639><c> chapter</c><00:37:29.000><c> 17</c><00:37:29.400><c> makes</c><00:37:29.739><c> it</c><00:37:29.940><c> very</c><00:37:30.179><c> plain.</c>

00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:35.239
I<00:37:31.039><c> have</c><00:37:31.559><c> finished</c><00:37:32.139><c> the</c><00:37:32.980><c> work</c><00:37:33.460><c> you</c><00:37:33.800><c> gave</c><00:37:34.019><c> me</c><00:37:34.260><c> to</c><00:37:34.440><c> do.</c>

00:37:35.440 --> 00:37:37.239
This<00:37:35.639><c> is</c><00:37:35.860><c> part</c><00:37:36.019><c> of</c><00:37:36.219><c> it.</c>

00:37:37.880 --> 00:37:42.420
Well,<00:37:39.440><c> they</c><00:37:39.539><c> tried</c><00:37:39.780><c> all</c><00:37:40.920><c> sorts</c><00:37:41.219><c> of</c><00:37:41.440><c> ways</c><00:37:41.559><c> of</c><00:37:41.780><c> dismissing</c><00:37:42.219><c> what</c>

00:37:42.420 --> 00:37:43.480
Jesus<00:37:42.780><c> did,</c>

00:37:43.800 --> 00:37:48.519
but<00:37:44.159><c> it</c><00:37:45.480><c> was</c><00:37:46.719><c> a</c><00:37:46.900><c> fruitless</c><00:37:47.300><c> exercise.</c>

00:37:49.380 --> 00:37:51.679
There's<00:37:49.519><c> no</c><00:37:49.719><c> gain</c><00:37:50.000><c> saying</c><00:37:50.260><c> when</c><00:37:50.420><c> a</c><00:37:50.659><c> person</c><00:37:50.880><c> has</c><00:37:51.059><c> been</c><00:37:51.239><c> able</c><00:37:51.420><c> to</c>

00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:52.559
walk<00:37:52.099><c> again</c>

00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:55.440
or<00:37:53.159><c> see</c><00:37:53.559><c> again</c><00:37:53.960><c> or</c><00:37:54.280><c> hear</c><00:37:54.599><c> again.</c>

00:37:55.719 --> 00:37:57.480
No<00:37:55.980><c> argument</c><00:37:56.360><c> against</c><00:37:56.719><c> those.</c>

00:37:57.599 --> 00:37:59.860
And<00:37:57.800><c> the</c><00:37:57.940><c> third</c><00:37:58.159><c> witness</c><00:37:58.679><c> that</c><00:37:59.039><c> he</c><00:37:59.199><c> now</c><00:37:59.460><c> presents</c>

00:37:59.860 --> 00:38:03.400
is<00:38:00.219><c> perhaps</c><00:38:00.460><c> the</c><00:38:00.619><c> most</c><00:38:00.880><c> devastating</c><00:38:01.360><c> of</c><00:38:01.619><c> all,</c><00:38:02.559><c> Scripture.</c>

00:38:03.960 --> 00:38:05.159
He<00:38:04.079><c> says</c><00:38:04.260><c> in</c><00:38:04.380><c> verse</c><00:38:04.639><c> 37,</c>

00:38:05.159 --> 00:38:07.800
you<00:38:05.559><c> know,</c><00:38:05.900><c> you</c><00:38:06.119><c> people,</c><00:38:06.539><c> you</c><00:38:06.760><c> have</c><00:38:06.900><c> never</c><00:38:07.139><c> heard</c><00:38:07.420><c> the</c><00:38:07.579><c> voice</c>

00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:08.960
of<00:38:08.039><c> God.</c>

00:38:09.579 --> 00:38:11.139
Moses<00:38:10.059><c> did.</c>

00:38:13.880 --> 00:38:16.219
And<00:38:14.139><c> since</c><00:38:14.440><c> Jesus</c><00:38:14.880><c> speaks</c><00:38:15.280><c> the</c><00:38:15.559><c> words</c><00:38:15.800><c> of</c><00:38:16.039><c> God</c>

00:38:16.219 --> 00:38:19.300
and<00:38:16.360><c> they</c><00:38:16.579><c> do</c><00:38:16.840><c> not</c><00:38:17.019><c> hear</c><00:38:17.219><c> God's</c><00:38:17.659><c> voice</c><00:38:17.860><c> in</c><00:38:18.159><c> Jesus,</c>

00:38:19.800 --> 00:38:23.219
it<00:38:20.099><c> follows</c><00:38:20.400><c> that</c><00:38:20.639><c> they</c><00:38:20.900><c> are</c><00:38:21.099><c> not</c><00:38:21.500><c> true</c><00:38:21.820><c> followers</c><00:38:22.360><c> of</c><00:38:22.760><c> Moses.</c>

00:38:23.719 --> 00:38:26.940
That's<00:38:24.079><c> made</c><00:38:24.280><c> more</c><00:38:24.760><c> potently</c><00:38:25.280><c> at</c><00:38:25.880><c> the</c><00:38:26.019><c> end</c><00:38:26.179><c> of</c><00:38:26.360><c> the</c><00:38:26.539><c> chapter.</c>

00:38:27.360 --> 00:38:31.659
Oh,<00:38:27.679><c> and</c><00:38:27.960><c> you</c><00:38:28.179><c> haven't</c><00:38:28.460><c> seen</c><00:38:28.780><c> his</c><00:38:29.199><c> form</c><00:38:29.360><c> or</c><00:38:29.619><c> his</c><00:38:29.880><c> shape</c><00:38:30.059><c> at</c><00:38:30.320><c> any</c><00:38:30.579><c> time.</c>

00:38:33.639 --> 00:38:35.340

Had<00:41:28.260><c> you</c><00:41:28.519><c> believed</c><00:41:28.940><c> Moses,</c><00:41:29.380><c> you</c><00:41:29.539><c> would</c><00:41:29.760><c> have</c><00:41:29.940><c> believed</c><00:41:30.260><c> me,</c>

00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:31.699
for<00:41:30.780><c> he</c><00:41:30.960><c> wrote</c><00:41:31.179><c> of</c><00:41:31.420><c> me.</c>

00:41:31.860 --> 00:41:33.260
And<00:41:31.960><c> if</c><00:41:32.119><c> you</c><00:41:32.360><c> believe</c><00:41:32.500><c> not</c><00:41:32.719><c> his</c><00:41:32.940><c> writings,</c>

00:41:33.599 --> 00:41:37.019
how<00:41:34.099><c> shall</c><00:41:34.440><c> you</c><00:41:34.920><c> believe</c><00:41:35.500><c> my</c><00:41:36.739><c> words?</c>

00:41:37.039 --> 00:41:42.619
The<00:41:37.300><c> irony</c><00:41:37.780><c> is</c><00:41:38.460><c> that</c><00:41:38.860><c> when</c><00:41:39.280><c> any</c><00:41:39.920><c> accusation</c><00:41:40.719><c> Moses</c><00:41:41.260><c> brings</c>

00:41:42.679 --> 00:41:44.179
will<00:41:43.159><c> not</c><00:41:43.420><c> be</c><00:41:43.619><c> based</c><00:41:43.840><c> upon,</c>

00:41:44.179 --> 00:41:45.480
Oh,<00:41:44.500><c> you</c><00:41:44.599><c> didn't</c><00:41:44.760><c> do</c><00:41:45.039><c> that.</c>

00:41:45.900 --> 00:41:47.539
You<00:41:46.000><c> did</c><00:41:46.260><c> this</c><00:41:46.480><c> and</c><00:41:46.619><c> you</c><00:41:46.840><c> shouldn't.</c>

00:41:47.579 --> 00:41:48.239
None<00:41:47.800><c> of</c><00:41:48.039><c> that.</c>

00:41:48.380 --> 00:41:50.460
That<00:41:48.559><c> will</c><00:41:48.780><c> not</c><00:41:48.920><c> be</c><00:41:49.099><c> the</c><00:41:49.300><c> accusation</c><00:41:49.840><c> from</c><00:41:50.079><c> Moses</c>

00:41:53.079 --> 00:41:56.860
It<00:41:53.340><c> will</c><00:41:53.539><c> be</c><00:41:53.800><c> their</c><00:41:54.059><c> failure</c><00:41:54.699><c> to</c><00:41:55.239><c> understand</c>

00:41:56.900 --> 00:41:58.579
the<00:41:57.420><c> law</c><00:41:57.800><c> of</c><00:41:58.159><c> Moses.</c>

00:41:59.000 --> 00:42:00.880
They<00:41:59.280><c> took</c><00:41:59.500><c> it</c><00:41:59.699><c> as</c><00:41:59.860><c> an</c><00:42:00.059><c> end</c><00:42:00.260><c> in</c><00:42:00.420><c> itself,</c>

00:42:01.099 --> 00:42:03.719
not<00:42:01.400><c> as</c><00:42:01.659><c> a</c><00:42:01.800><c> means</c><00:42:01.960><c> to</c><00:42:02.260><c> prepare</c><00:42:02.519><c> themselves</c><00:42:03.019><c> for</c><00:42:03.260><c> Messiah,</c>

00:42:03.980 --> 00:42:05.480
as<00:42:04.420><c> Moses</c><00:42:04.880><c> had</c><00:42:05.179><c> declared.</c>

00:42:05.539 --> 00:42:06.920
That's<00:42:05.840><c> the</c><00:42:06.019><c> point.</c>

00:42:07.179 --> 00:42:09.480
Ultimately,<00:42:07.980><c> the</c><00:42:08.099><c> great</c><00:42:08.380><c> thing</c><00:42:08.639><c> that</c><00:42:08.820><c> Moses</c><00:42:09.199><c> placed</c>

00:42:09.480 --> 00:42:10.519
before<00:42:09.800><c> his</c><00:42:10.039><c> people</c><00:42:10.340><c> was,</c>

00:42:10.739 --> 00:42:12.480
there<00:42:10.880><c> was</c><00:42:11.179><c> someone</c><00:42:11.519><c> who</c><00:42:11.659><c> was</c><00:42:11.800><c> going</c><00:42:11.920><c> to</c><00:42:12.239><c> come.</c>

00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:15.400
Everything<00:42:13.139><c> about</c><00:42:13.480><c> the</c><00:42:13.699><c> law</c><00:42:13.800><c> was</c><00:42:14.019><c> to</c><00:42:14.460><c> raise</c><00:42:14.739><c> the</c><00:42:15.079><c> awareness</c>

00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:17.940
of<00:42:15.639><c> this</c><00:42:15.900><c> great</c><00:42:16.219><c> one</c><00:42:16.500><c> who</c><00:42:16.639><c> was</c><00:42:16.820><c> to</c><00:42:17.079><c> come.</c>

00:42:18.179 --> 00:42:19.659
And<00:42:18.260><c> if</c><00:42:18.360><c> you</c><00:42:18.559><c> don't</c><00:42:18.800><c> receive</c><00:42:19.159><c> the</c><00:42:19.380><c> one</c>

00:42:19.659 --> 00:42:22.699
that<00:42:20.059><c> I</c><00:42:20.340><c> have</c><00:42:20.599><c> said</c><00:42:21.159><c> will</c><00:42:21.840><c> come,</c>

00:42:22.739 --> 00:42:24.960
Moses<00:42:23.000><c> could</c><00:42:23.280><c> turn</c><00:42:23.519><c> around</c><00:42:23.739><c> on</c><00:42:23.900><c> that</c><00:42:24.119><c> generation</c><00:42:24.599><c> and</c><00:42:24.940><c> say,</c>

00:42:25.340 --> 00:42:27.280
Oh,<00:42:25.599><c> you</c><00:42:25.820><c> were</c><00:42:26.019><c> so</c><00:42:26.280><c> foolish.</c>

00:42:31.840 --> 00:42:34.639
The<00:42:32.199><c> irony</c><00:42:32.539><c> really</c><00:42:33.119><c> is</c><00:42:33.400><c> quite</c><00:42:33.659><c> deep</c><00:42:33.940><c> here,</c><00:42:34.139><c> isn't</c><00:42:34.280><c> it?</c>

00:42:34.780 --> 00:42:36.960
In<00:42:35.079><c> rejecting</c><00:42:35.699><c> Jesus,</c>

00:42:37.260 --> 00:42:39.820
they<00:42:37.500><c> were</c><00:42:37.659><c> actually</c><00:42:38.159><c> rejecting</c><00:42:39.119><c> Moses.</c>

00:42:40.039 --> 00:42:41.059
That's<00:42:40.380><c> unthinkable.</c>

00:42:41.059 --> 00:42:45.679
But<00:42:41.800><c> that's</c><00:42:43.380><c> where</c><00:42:43.539><c> Jesus</c><00:42:43.960><c> is</c><00:42:44.239><c> taking</c><00:42:44.599><c> these</c><00:42:45.039><c> people</c><00:42:45.420><c> to.</c>

00:42:46.079 --> 00:42:47.599
And<00:42:46.280><c> we</c><00:42:46.420><c> are</c><00:42:46.579><c> now</c><00:42:46.760><c> back</c><00:42:46.940><c> where</c><00:42:47.099><c> we</c><00:42:47.260><c> started.</c>

00:42:47.880 --> 00:42:49.360
I<00:42:47.980><c> hope</c><00:42:48.059><c> I</c><00:42:48.099><c> can</c><00:42:48.280><c> just</c><00:42:48.460><c> wrap</c><00:42:48.559><c> this</c><00:42:48.780><c> up</c>

00:42:49.360 --> 00:42:51.500
with<00:42:49.840><c> where</c><00:42:50.059><c> we</c><00:42:50.219><c> were</c><00:42:50.380><c> yesterday.</c>

00:42:53.699 --> 00:42:54.900
Moses<00:42:53.920><c> makes</c><00:42:54.179><c> it</c><00:42:54.340><c> very</c><00:42:54.579><c> clear</c>

00:42:54.900 --> 00:42:56.559
there<00:42:55.179><c> is</c><00:42:55.400><c> someone</c><00:42:55.639><c> who</c><00:42:55.800><c> is</c><00:42:55.840><c> going</c><00:42:56.000><c> to</c><00:42:56.280><c> come</c>

00:42:56.559 --> 00:42:58.960
like<00:42:57.119><c> him</c><00:42:57.460><c> as</c><00:42:57.780><c> a</c><00:42:58.000><c> prophet,</c>

00:42:59.420 --> 00:43:02.300
but<00:42:59.699><c> implied</c><00:43:00.420><c> better.</c>

00:43:03.139 --> 00:43:05.860
Somebody<00:43:03.380><c> who</c><00:43:03.619><c> would</c><00:43:04.000><c> supersede</c><00:43:05.280><c> Moses</c>

00:43:05.860 --> 00:43:09.500
in<00:43:06.599><c> the</c><00:43:06.760><c> way</c><00:43:07.000><c> that</c><00:43:07.579><c> grace</c><00:43:08.059><c> superseded</c><00:43:09.039><c> the</c><00:43:09.300><c> law.</c>

00:43:09.500 --> 00:43:12.579
This<00:43:09.980><c> invalid</c><00:43:10.599><c> man</c><00:43:10.960><c> here</c><00:43:11.320><c> that</c><00:43:11.480><c> we</c><00:43:11.699><c> have</c><00:43:11.960><c> started</c><00:43:12.219><c> with,</c>

00:43:12.739 --> 00:43:14.579
he<00:43:13.099><c> stands</c><00:43:13.400><c> for</c><00:43:13.599><c> the</c><00:43:13.800><c> nation</c><00:43:14.099><c> of</c><00:43:14.360><c> Israel.</c>

00:43:14.639 --> 00:43:15.400
Indeed,<00:43:15.019><c> the</c><00:43:15.159><c> order,</c>

00:43:15.619 --> 00:43:16.960
verse<00:43:15.880><c> 3</c><00:43:16.139><c> of</c><00:43:16.280><c> chapter</c><00:43:16.539><c> 5</c><00:43:16.780><c> says,</c>

00:43:17.079 --> 00:43:18.380
there's<00:43:17.300><c> a</c><00:43:17.420><c> multitude</c><00:43:17.940><c> of</c><00:43:18.219><c> them.</c>

00:43:18.539 --> 00:43:20.599
The<00:43:18.760><c> whole</c><00:43:18.940><c> nation</c><00:43:19.360><c> is</c><00:43:19.539><c> in</c><00:43:19.760><c> there.</c>

00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:26.599
I'm<00:43:23.099><c> going</c><00:43:23.300><c> for</c><00:43:23.760><c> Beth</c><00:43:24.079><c>-sadah</c><00:43:24.519><c> rather</c><00:43:24.880><c> than</c><00:43:25.019><c> Bethesda.</c>

00:43:26.619 --> 00:43:28.079
House<00:43:26.920><c> of</c><00:43:27.219><c> figs,</c>

00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:31.380
a<00:43:28.679><c> good</c><00:43:28.860><c> symbol</c><00:43:29.320><c> of</c><00:43:30.099><c> and</c><00:43:30.500><c> for</c><00:43:30.840><c> Israel.</c>

00:43:31.659 --> 00:43:33.960
The<00:43:31.900><c> five</c><00:43:32.199><c> porches,</c><00:43:32.760><c> the</c><00:43:32.940><c> five</c><00:43:33.199><c> books</c><00:43:33.460><c> of</c><00:43:33.679><c> Moses,</c>

otherwise<00:43:34.440><c> the</c><00:43:34.719><c> law.</c>

00:43:35.320 --> 00:43:37.159
So<00:43:35.500><c> this</c><00:43:35.760><c> multitude,</c><00:43:36.480><c> this</c><00:43:36.780><c> man,</c>

00:43:37.159 --> 00:43:39.820

00:43:40.260 --> 00:43:44.139
It<00:43:40.519><c> covers</c><00:43:40.860><c> him</c><00:43:41.260><c> as</c><00:43:41.719><c> it</c><00:43:41.980><c> now</c><00:43:42.420><c> envelops</c><00:43:43.119><c> the</c><00:43:43.300><c> life</c><00:43:43.539><c> of</c><00:43:43.840><c> Israel.</c>

00:43:49.460 --> 00:43:52.659
The<00:43:49.679><c> law</c><00:43:49.920><c> was</c><00:43:50.179><c> that</c><00:43:50.380><c> which</c><00:43:50.559><c> could</c><00:43:50.780><c> show</c><00:43:51.039><c> a</c><00:43:51.219><c> man</c><00:43:51.380><c> his</c><00:43:51.679><c> sin,</c>

00:43:55.679 --> 00:43:58.800
The<00:43:55.960><c> law</c><00:43:56.280><c> could</c><00:43:56.719><c> uncover</c><00:43:57.239><c> a</c><00:43:57.440><c> man's</c><00:43:57.820><c> weakness,</c>

00:44:49.619 --> 00:44:52.440
That<00:44:49.880><c> man</c><00:44:50.199><c> stands</c><00:44:50.519><c> for</c><00:44:50.699><c> the</c><00:44:50.860><c> house</c><00:44:51.039><c> of</c><00:44:51.219><c> Israel,</c>

00:45:04.980 --> 00:45:06.980
Did<00:45:05.239><c> they</c><00:45:05.539><c> really</c><00:45:05.900><c> want</c><00:45:06.119><c> healing?</c>

00:45:07.500 --> 00:45:10.539
The<00:45:07.739><c> question</c><00:45:08.059><c> that</c><00:45:08.260><c> Jesus</c><00:45:08.659><c> presented</c><00:45:09.320><c> to</c><00:45:10.000><c> the</c><00:45:10.219><c> man</c>
