00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:44.859
doesn't<00:01:43.640><c> mean</c><00:01:43.819><c> they</c><00:01:44.019><c> mightn't</c><00:01:44.299><c> be</c><00:01:44.480><c> resurrected</c>

which<00:02:04.280><c> I</c><00:02:04.480><c> think</c><00:02:04.620><c> is</c><00:02:04.799><c> very</c><00:02:05.099><c> important</c><00:02:05.579><c> and</c><00:02:05.780><c> that</c>

For<00:04:44.860><c> the</c><00:04:45.000><c> very</c><00:04:45.240><c> obvious</c><00:04:45.600><c> reason</c><00:04:46.040><c> that</c><00:04:47.019><c> the</c><00:04:47.339><c> biggest</c><00:04:47.680><c> problem</c>

They<00:04:57.120><c> followed</c><00:04:57.439><c> him</c><00:04:57.620><c> because</c><00:04:57.860><c> he</c><00:04:57.959><c> was</c><00:04:58.160><c> a</c><00:04:58.240><c> miracle</c><00:04:58.779><c> worker.</c>

00:05:36.420 --> 00:05:37.720
let's<00:05:36.639><c> just</c><00:05:36.839><c> pick</c><00:05:36.980><c> up</c><00:05:37.139><c> enough</c><00:05:37.379><c> of</c><00:05:37.560><c> the</c>

00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:52.139
He<00:05:48.220><c> said,</c><00:05:48.720><c> whether</c><00:05:49.040><c> he</c><00:05:49.220><c> was</c><00:05:49.459><c> a</c><00:05:49.660><c> sinner</c><00:05:49.879><c> or</c><00:05:50.319><c> not,</c><00:05:51.199><c> I</c><00:05:51.399><c> don't</c><00:05:51.720><c> know.</c>

How<00:06:02.339><c> opened</c><00:06:02.600><c> he</c><00:06:02.759><c> thine</c><00:06:02.959><c> eyes?</c>

Wherefore<00:06:09.240><c> would</c><00:06:09.379><c> you</c><00:06:09.540><c> hear</c><00:06:09.740><c> it</c><00:06:09.899><c> again?</c>

00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:13.040
Do<00:06:11.019><c> you</c><00:06:11.079><c> also</c><00:06:11.360><c> want</c><00:06:11.540><c> to</c><00:06:11.660><c> be</c><00:06:11.740><c> his</c><00:06:11.980><c> disciples?</c>

00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:17.920
This<00:06:13.600><c> was</c><00:06:14.259><c> developing</c><00:06:14.920><c> a</c><00:06:15.220><c> real</c><00:06:15.519><c> nasty</c><00:06:16.000><c> situation</c><00:06:16.839><c> and</c><00:06:17.680><c> these</c>

00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:27.279
So<00:06:24.779><c> they</c><00:06:25.000><c> reviled</c><00:06:25.420><c> him</c><00:06:25.600><c> and</c><00:06:25.740><c> said,</c><00:06:26.199><c> they</c><00:06:26.300><c> are</c><00:06:26.459><c> his</c><00:06:26.759><c> disciples</c>

The<00:06:35.980><c> man</c><00:06:36.279><c> answered</c><00:06:36.639><c> and</c><00:06:36.860><c> said</c><00:06:37.000><c> unto</c><00:06:37.160><c> them</c><00:06:37.379><c> in</c><00:06:37.540><c> verse</c><00:06:38.540><c> 30,</c><00:06:39.680><c> why,</c>

00:12:57.879 --> 00:13:00.120
Okay,<00:12:58.200><c> I</c><00:12:58.279><c> don't</c><00:12:58.460><c> want</c><00:12:58.559><c> to</c><00:12:58.659><c> make</c><00:12:58.779><c> a</c><00:12:58.940><c> big</c><00:12:59.220><c> point</c><00:12:59.480><c> out</c><00:12:59.679><c> of</c><00:12:59.820><c> that,</c>

00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.259

two<00:16:49.500><c> people.</c>

00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:53.460
For<00:16:50.860><c> you</c><00:16:51.080><c> and</c><00:16:51.220><c> me,</c><00:16:51.580><c> Peter,</c><00:16:51.700><c> because</c><00:16:51.960><c> we're</c><00:16:52.240><c> in</c><00:16:52.340><c> this</c><00:16:52.480><c> together.</c>

Peter,<00:16:53.720><c> you've</c><00:16:54.059><c> just</c><00:16:54.259><c> told</c><00:16:54.440><c> me</c><00:16:54.700><c> back</c><00:16:55.019><c> in</c><00:16:55.340><c> Matthew</c><00:16:55.620><c> 16,</c><00:16:56.039><c> you</c><00:16:56.220><c> know</c><00:16:56.340><c> who</c><00:16:56.580><c> I</c><00:16:56.759><c> am,</c>

their<00:17:03.600><c> way.</c>

00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:07.420
Now,<00:17:04.319><c> when</c><00:17:04.440><c> you</c><00:17:04.599><c> come</c><00:17:04.740><c> to</c><00:17:04.880><c> Matthew</c><00:17:05.160><c> 18,</c><00:17:06.220><c> the</c><00:17:06.420><c> last</c><00:17:06.859><c> step</c><00:17:07.140><c> is,</c>

00:17:10.180 --> 00:17:12.359
Treat<00:17:10.519><c> him</c><00:17:10.759><c> like</c><00:17:11.000><c> a</c><00:17:11.240><c> tax</c><00:17:11.500><c> collector.</c>

00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:16.000
How<00:17:13.960><c> did</c><00:17:14.200><c> the</c><00:17:14.299><c> Lord</c><00:17:14.500><c> treat</c><00:17:14.740><c> a</c><00:17:14.900><c> tax</c><00:17:15.160><c> collector?</c>

00:17:16.619 --> 00:17:18.259
Well,<00:17:17.059><c> Matthew</c><00:17:17.119><c> certainly</c><00:17:17.539><c> knew,</c><00:17:17.859><c> didn't</c><00:17:18.019><c> he?</c>

00:17:18.500 --> 00:17:21.000
Because<00:17:18.759><c> Matthew</c><00:17:19.039><c> himself</c><00:17:19.400><c> had</c><00:17:19.599><c> been</c><00:17:19.720><c> a</c><00:17:19.880><c> tax</c><00:17:20.119><c> collector.</c>

00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:25.480
Go<00:17:21.539><c> right</c><00:17:21.980><c> back</c><00:17:22.259><c> to</c><00:17:22.519><c> square</c><00:17:22.839><c> one</c><00:17:23.579><c> and</c><00:17:23.940><c> maybe</c><00:17:24.440><c> teach</c><00:17:25.000><c> the</c><00:17:25.240><c> truth</c>

00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:27.019
right<00:17:25.880><c> over</c><00:17:26.140><c> again</c><00:17:26.359><c> from</c><00:17:26.579><c> the</c><00:17:26.779><c> start.</c>

00:17:27.339 --> 00:17:29.660
But<00:17:27.500><c> whatever</c><00:17:27.920><c> you</c><00:17:28.160><c> do,</c><00:17:28.400><c> don't</c><00:17:28.640><c> put</c><00:17:28.859><c> a</c><00:17:29.059><c> stumbling</c><00:17:29.299><c> block</c><00:17:29.519><c> in</c>

his<00:17:29.880><c> way.</c>

00:17:30.380 --> 00:17:34.799
Now,<00:17:30.599><c> this</c><00:17:30.779><c> is</c><00:17:31.019><c> a</c><00:17:31.140><c> side</c><00:17:31.299><c> issue</c><00:17:31.519><c> to</c><00:17:31.700><c> John</c><00:17:31.940><c> chapter</c><00:17:32.460><c> 10,</c><00:17:33.079><c> but</c><00:17:33.299><c> it's</c><00:17:33.740><c> the</c><00:17:33.900><c> principle.</c>

00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:39.299
Everything<00:17:35.920><c> in</c><00:17:36.220><c> Matthew</c><00:17:36.660><c> 18</c><00:17:37.079><c> is</c><00:17:37.380><c> about</c><00:17:37.640><c> how</c><00:17:37.920><c> to</c><00:17:38.200><c> restore</c><00:17:38.500><c> your</c><00:17:38.799><c> brother,</c>

00:17:39.299 --> 00:17:43.440

00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:47.700
But<00:17:45.039><c> you</c><00:17:45.220><c> are</c><00:17:45.400><c> withdrawing</c><00:17:46.099><c> fellowship</c><00:17:46.539><c> from</c><00:17:47.059><c> him</c><00:17:47.339><c> for</c>

positive<00:17:48.180><c> reasons.</c>

00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:52.759
Not<00:17:49.440><c> to</c><00:17:49.640><c> get</c><00:17:49.799><c> rid</c><00:17:49.960><c> of</c><00:17:50.099><c> him,</c><00:17:50.700><c> but</c><00:17:50.839><c> to</c><00:17:51.059><c> make</c><00:17:51.200><c> him</c><00:17:51.440><c> realise</c><00:17:51.779><c> that</c><00:17:51.980><c> this</c><00:17:52.200><c> issue</c><00:17:52.420><c> is</c><00:17:52.660><c> a</c>

00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:53.319
serious<00:17:53.059><c> issue.</c>

00:17:53.380 --> 00:17:55.240
Maybe<00:17:53.599><c> it's</c><00:17:53.859><c> a</c><00:17:53.960><c> moral</c><00:17:54.240><c> issue.</c>

00:17:55.539 --> 00:17:57.779
If<00:17:55.700><c> it's</c><00:17:55.920><c> a</c><00:17:56.039><c> doctrinal</c><00:17:56.420><c> issue,</c><00:17:56.779><c> well,</c><00:17:56.880><c> that</c><00:17:57.039><c> may</c><00:17:57.220><c> be</c><00:17:57.440><c> even</c>

00:17:57.779 --> 00:17:58.920
more<00:17:57.980><c> difficult.</c>

00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:02.819
But<00:17:59.720><c> whenever</c><00:18:00.240><c> do</c><00:18:00.500><c> you</c><00:18:00.700><c> stop</c><00:18:01.000><c> trying</c><00:18:01.339><c> to</c><00:18:01.539><c> restore</c><00:18:01.819><c> your</c><00:18:02.099><c> brother,</c><00:18:02.680><c> and</c>

00:18:02.819 --> 00:18:05.420
we're<00:18:03.019><c> laying</c><00:18:03.220><c> the</c><00:18:03.420><c> foundation</c><00:18:04.119><c> for</c><00:18:04.380><c> our</c><00:18:04.680><c> exhortation</c><00:18:05.160><c> later</c>

from<00:18:05.599><c> John</c><00:18:05.839><c> 17.</c>

00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:09.160
At<00:18:06.819><c> what</c><00:18:07.160><c> point</c><00:18:07.319><c> do</c><00:18:07.480><c> you</c><00:18:07.619><c> say</c><00:18:07.799><c> enough</c><00:18:08.059><c> is</c><00:18:08.279><c> enough?</c>

00:18:09.299 --> 00:18:11.480
Well,<00:18:09.599><c> Peter</c><00:18:09.700><c> asked</c><00:18:10.019><c> that</c><00:18:10.240><c> question,</c><00:18:10.619><c> how</c><00:18:10.720><c> many</c><00:18:10.960><c> times</c><00:18:11.220><c> do</c><00:18:11.400><c> I</c>

00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:12.160

00:18:12.220 --> 00:18:13.680
Seven<00:18:12.539><c> times?</c>

00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:17.140
And<00:18:14.059><c> the</c><00:18:14.119><c> Lord</c><00:18:14.279><c> said,</c><00:18:14.859><c> 70</c><00:18:15.380><c> times</c><00:18:16.279><c> seven.</c>

00:18:17.819 --> 00:18:21.019
And<00:18:17.940><c> if</c><00:18:18.059><c> you</c><00:18:18.140><c> multiply</c><00:18:18.539><c> that,</c><00:18:18.960><c> you</c><00:18:18.960><c> say,</c><00:18:19.220><c> oh,</c><00:18:19.380><c> you</c><00:18:19.500><c> mean</c><00:18:19.640><c> 490</c><00:18:20.480><c> times.</c>

00:18:21.420 --> 00:18:23.759
No,<00:18:22.279><c> seven</c><00:18:22.579><c> is</c><00:18:22.799><c> the</c><00:18:22.940><c> number</c><00:18:23.140><c> of</c><00:18:23.480><c> completeness.</c>

00:18:23.859 --> 00:18:26.079
You<00:18:24.180><c> never,</c><00:18:24.480><c> ever</c><00:18:24.839><c> stop</c><00:18:25.180><c> trying.</c>

00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:29.220
So,<00:18:27.980><c> what</c><00:18:28.099><c> have</c><00:18:28.140><c> these</c><00:18:28.460><c> Pharisees</c><00:18:28.940><c> done?</c>

00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:31.700
They<00:18:30.000><c> had</c><00:18:30.339><c> cast</c><00:18:30.680><c> him</c><00:18:30.859><c> out</c><00:18:31.059><c> to</c><00:18:31.200><c> get</c><00:18:31.359><c> rid</c><00:18:31.500><c> of</c><00:18:31.619><c> him.</c>

00:18:31.700 --> 00:18:33.460
They<00:18:31.839><c> had</c><00:18:32.059><c> no</c><00:18:32.279><c> intention</c><00:18:32.700><c> of</c><00:18:32.900><c> redeeming</c><00:18:33.299><c> him.</c>

00:18:33.700 --> 00:18:36.660
Now,<00:18:33.940><c> what</c><00:18:34.220><c> about</c><00:18:34.900><c> this</c><00:18:35.420><c> story</c><00:18:35.720><c> here?</c>

00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:38.720
The<00:18:36.980><c> shepherd</c><00:18:37.359><c> now</c><00:18:37.680><c> comes</c><00:18:37.960><c> into</c><00:18:38.180><c> the</c><00:18:38.380><c> sheepfold.</c>

00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:40.539
Now,<00:18:39.079><c> here</c><00:18:39.279><c> is</c><00:18:39.420><c> our</c><00:18:39.599><c> picture.</c>

00:18:40.700 --> 00:18:44.099
The<00:18:40.880><c> sheepfold</c><00:18:41.539><c> was</c><00:18:41.819><c> the</c><00:18:42.019><c> place</c><00:18:42.279><c> where</c><00:18:42.519><c> the</c><00:18:42.759><c> shepherd</c><00:18:43.140><c> took</c>

00:18:50.299 --> 00:18:51.759
the<00:18:50.559><c> night</c><00:18:50.839><c> hours,</c>

00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:54.799
they<00:18:52.079><c> were</c><00:18:52.299><c> there</c><00:18:52.579><c> preserved</c><00:18:53.200><c> from</c><00:18:53.700><c> all</c><00:18:53.940><c> of</c><00:18:54.059><c> those</c><00:18:54.359><c> prowlers</c>

00:18:54.799 --> 00:18:56.039
of<00:18:55.019><c> the</c><00:18:55.180><c> night.</c>

00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:01.700
Then<00:18:56.759><c> in</c><00:18:56.920><c> the</c><00:18:57.059><c> morning,</c><00:18:57.960><c> along</c><00:18:58.180><c> came</c><00:18:58.400><c> the</c><00:18:58.619><c> shepherd,</c><00:18:59.839><c> and</c><00:19:00.099><c> verse</c><00:19:00.559><c> 4</c><00:19:01.000><c> says,</c>

00:19:02.019 --> 00:19:05.880
that<00:19:02.160><c> in</c><00:19:02.359><c> the</c><00:19:02.559><c> morning,</c><00:19:03.599><c> he</c><00:19:03.940><c> putteth</c><00:19:04.559><c> forth</c><00:19:04.900><c> his</c><00:19:05.180><c> own</c><00:19:05.500><c> sheep.</c>

00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:09.299
And<00:19:06.259><c> it's</c><00:19:06.640><c> the</c><00:19:06.740><c> same</c><00:19:07.039><c> expression</c><00:19:07.579><c> as</c><00:19:07.940><c> cast</c><00:19:08.279><c> them</c><00:19:08.500><c> out,</c>

00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:12.119
or<00:19:09.720><c> cast</c><00:19:09.940><c> him</c><00:19:10.099><c> out</c><00:19:10.240><c> back</c><00:19:10.420><c> in</c><00:19:10.579><c> chapter</c><00:19:10.779><c> 9,</c><00:19:11.259><c> but</c><00:19:11.380><c> why</c><00:19:11.619><c> does</c><00:19:11.740><c> he</c>

00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:13.380
put<00:19:12.319><c> him</c><00:19:12.559><c> forth?</c>

00:19:14.099 --> 00:19:18.420
He<00:19:14.319><c> goes</c><00:19:14.720><c> before</c><00:19:15.200><c> him,</c><00:19:16.519><c> and</c><00:19:16.680><c> the</c><00:19:16.819><c> sheep</c><00:19:17.019><c> follow</c><00:19:17.400><c> him,</c>

00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:20.519
and<00:19:18.700><c> he</c><00:19:18.839><c> takes</c><00:19:19.079><c> them</c><00:19:19.259><c> out</c><00:19:19.440><c> to</c><00:19:19.660><c> pasture.</c>

00:19:21.099 --> 00:19:22.000
So,<00:19:21.259><c> see</c><00:19:21.480><c> the</c><00:19:21.640><c> difference.</c>

00:19:22.420 --> 00:19:24.500
Christ<00:19:22.900><c> is</c><00:19:23.420><c> the</c><00:19:23.640><c> door.</c>

00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:28.140
During<00:19:26.000><c> the</c><00:19:26.180><c> night</c><00:19:26.359><c> of</c><00:19:26.640><c> Gentile</c><00:19:27.079><c> darkness,</c>

00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:32.339

00:19:32.579 --> 00:19:34.519
And<00:19:32.779><c> so,</c><00:19:32.859><c> on</c><00:19:33.019><c> the</c><00:19:33.140><c> one</c><00:19:33.420><c> hand,</c><00:19:33.720><c> we</c><00:19:33.900><c> come</c><00:19:34.119><c> together</c>

00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:37.440
because<00:19:34.880><c> we</c><00:19:35.099><c> need</c><00:19:35.480><c> this</c><00:19:35.720><c> separation</c><00:19:36.240><c> from</c><00:19:36.480><c> the</c><00:19:36.660><c> world.</c>

00:19:37.619 --> 00:19:41.220
We<00:19:37.700><c> need</c><00:19:38.099><c> to</c><00:19:38.319><c> have</c><00:19:38.519><c> the</c><00:19:38.839><c> security</c><00:19:39.619><c> of</c><00:19:40.220><c> one</c><00:19:40.440><c> another.</c>

00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:44.339
We<00:19:41.700><c> want</c><00:19:41.900><c> to</c><00:19:42.039><c> leave</c><00:19:42.400><c> the</c><00:19:42.660><c> world</c><00:19:42.880><c> outside</c><00:19:43.400><c> there,</c><00:19:43.880><c> and</c><00:19:44.079><c> we</c><00:19:44.200><c> have</c>

00:19:44.339 --> 00:19:44.980
that<00:19:44.500><c> difficulty.</c>

00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:47.079
So,<00:19:45.460><c> when</c><00:19:45.559><c> we</c><00:19:45.700><c> get</c><00:19:45.859><c> into</c><00:19:45.980><c> that</c><00:19:46.259><c> sheepfold</c><00:19:46.660><c> of</c><00:19:46.839><c> a</c><00:19:46.960><c> night,</c>

we<00:19:47.220><c> can</c><00:19:47.480><c> talk</c><00:19:47.720><c> then</c><00:19:47.900><c> about</c><00:19:48.740><c> the</c><00:19:49.059><c> things</c><00:19:49.259><c> that</c><00:19:49.500><c> we've</c><00:19:49.799><c> left</c><00:19:49.900><c> behind</c><00:19:50.319><c> us</c>

00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:54.680
and<00:19:50.859><c> the</c><00:19:51.039><c> positive</c><00:19:51.440><c> things</c><00:19:51.680><c> of</c><00:19:51.859><c> the</c><00:19:52.059><c> truth,</c><00:19:52.819><c> but</c><00:19:53.059><c> we</c><00:19:53.259><c> need</c><00:19:53.519><c> reinforcing,</c><00:19:54.259><c> don't</c><00:19:54.400><c> we?</c>

00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:57.059
And<00:19:55.380><c> every</c><00:19:55.579><c> day,</c><00:19:55.759><c> we</c><00:19:55.880><c> need</c><00:19:56.099><c> to</c><00:19:56.240><c> partake</c><00:19:56.539><c> of</c><00:19:56.640><c> that</c><00:19:56.900><c> word.</c>

00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:00.240
So,<00:19:57.660><c> in</c><00:19:57.799><c> the</c><00:19:57.940><c> morning,</c><00:19:58.759><c> along</c><00:19:58.940><c> comes</c><00:19:59.200><c> the</c><00:19:59.440><c> shepherd,</c>

00:20:00.339 --> 00:20:02.059

00:20:02.059 --> 00:20:04.440
He<00:20:02.460><c> puts</c><00:20:02.940><c> them</c><00:20:03.220><c> out</c><00:20:03.900><c> through</c><00:20:04.440><c> the</c><00:20:04.440><c> door.</c>

00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:06.240
I<00:20:04.819><c> won't</c><00:20:05.019><c> use</c><00:20:05.259><c> the</c><00:20:05.299><c> word</c><00:20:05.519><c> cast</c><00:20:05.920><c> them</c><00:20:06.099><c> out.</c>

00:20:06.339 --> 00:20:09.839
It's<00:20:06.519><c> the</c><00:20:06.619><c> same</c><00:20:06.819><c> in</c><00:20:06.920><c> the</c><00:20:07.119><c> Greek,</c><00:20:07.839><c> but</c><00:20:08.079><c> he</c><00:20:08.200><c> goes</c><00:20:08.420><c> before</c><00:20:08.799><c> them.</c>

00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:17.359
We<00:20:14.660><c> have</c><00:20:14.880><c> access</c><00:20:15.279><c> to</c><00:20:15.460><c> the</c><00:20:15.619><c> sheepfold</c><00:20:16.160><c> through</c><00:20:16.940><c> Christ.</c>

00:20:17.539 --> 00:20:19.299
In<00:20:17.640><c> other</c><00:20:17.859><c> words,</c><00:20:18.480><c> baptism.</c>

00:20:19.380 --> 00:20:23.160
Baptism<00:20:19.859><c> brings</c><00:20:20.140><c> us</c><00:20:20.319><c> into</c><00:20:20.500><c> the</c><00:20:20.700><c> sheepfold,</c><00:20:22.319><c> but</c><00:20:22.460><c> it's</c><00:20:22.640><c> not</c><00:20:22.819><c> just</c><00:20:23.019><c> a</c>

00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:23.900

00:20:30.500 --> 00:20:33.779
So,<00:20:30.900><c> in</c><00:20:31.140><c> the</c><00:20:31.339><c> first</c><00:20:31.619><c> part</c><00:20:31.920><c> here,</c><00:20:32.400><c> then,</c><00:20:32.759><c> we</c><00:20:32.859><c> have</c><00:20:33.059><c> Lord</c><00:20:33.319><c> Jesus</c>

00:20:37.019 --> 00:20:38.980
The<00:20:37.299><c> porter</c><00:20:37.480><c> is</c><00:20:37.680><c> God</c><00:20:37.839><c> Himself.</c>

00:22:24.460 --> 00:22:29.000
Now,<00:22:24.700><c> we</c><00:22:24.740><c> want</c><00:22:24.960><c> to</c><00:22:25.079><c> consider</c><00:22:25.460><c> for</c><00:22:25.660><c> a</c><00:22:25.779><c> moment</c><00:22:26.240><c> the</c><00:22:27.099><c> responsibilities</c><00:22:27.799><c> of</c><00:22:28.000><c> a</c><00:22:28.180><c> shepherd.</c>

00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:33.619
The<00:22:29.839><c> Lord</c><00:22:30.160><c> Jesus</c><00:22:30.660><c> Christ</c><00:22:31.279><c> is</c><00:22:32.519><c> a</c><00:22:32.839><c> shepherd.</c>

00:22:33.819 --> 00:22:36.920
When<00:22:34.119><c> he</c><00:22:34.380><c> spoke</c><00:22:34.700><c> here</c><00:22:35.099><c> about</c><00:22:35.519><c> the</c><00:22:35.779><c> good</c><00:22:36.000><c> shepherd,</c>

00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:42.140
would<00:22:39.059><c> have</c><00:22:39.220><c> been</c><00:22:39.380><c> very,</c><00:22:39.779><c> very</c><00:22:40.140><c> well</c><00:22:40.400><c> known</c><00:22:40.539><c> to</c><00:22:40.740><c> these</c><00:22:40.940><c> Jewish</c><00:22:41.220><c> people.</c>

00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:44.680
Possibly<00:22:42.900><c> one</c><00:22:43.119><c> of</c><00:22:43.259><c> the</c><00:22:43.460><c> best</c><00:22:43.759><c> known</c><00:22:44.019><c> illustrations</c>

00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:47.319
would<00:22:44.920><c> have</c><00:22:45.140><c> been</c><00:22:45.299><c> Ezekiel,</c><00:22:46.259><c> chapter</c><00:22:46.660><c> 34.</c>

00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:49.720
Maybe<00:22:48.240><c> some</c><00:22:48.599><c> of</c><00:22:48.740><c> you</c><00:22:48.839><c> would</c><00:22:48.980><c> have</c><00:22:49.079><c> thought</c><00:22:49.240><c> we'd</c><00:22:49.460><c> have</c><00:22:49.599><c> gone</c>

00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:50.920
back<00:22:49.940><c> to</c><00:22:50.119><c> Psalm</c><00:22:50.299><c> 23.</c>

00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:53.599
I<00:22:51.480><c> don't</c><00:22:51.660><c> think</c><00:22:51.720><c> we</c><00:22:51.880><c> even</c><00:22:52.059><c> need</c><00:22:52.259><c> to</c><00:22:52.299><c> go</c><00:22:52.519><c> back</c><00:22:52.759><c> to</c><00:22:52.940><c> Psalm</c><00:22:53.140><c> 23.</c>

00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:55.539
We<00:22:53.799><c> know</c><00:22:54.019><c> that</c><00:22:54.220><c> one</c><00:22:54.400><c> so</c><00:22:54.700><c> well.</c>

00:22:55.579 --> 00:22:58.000
But<00:22:55.640><c> in</c><00:22:55.920><c> Ezekiel,</c><00:22:56.380><c> chapter</c><00:22:56.779><c> 34,</c>

00:22:58.920 --> 00:23:02.140
we've<00:22:59.339><c> got</c><00:22:59.460><c> prophecy</c><00:22:59.859><c> against</c><00:23:00.619><c> the</c><00:23:00.900><c> shepherds.</c>

00:23:02.420 --> 00:23:05.740
Now,<00:23:02.859><c> Ezekiel,</c><00:23:03.519><c> chapter</c><00:23:03.779><c> 34</c><00:23:04.359><c> and</c><00:23:04.559><c> the</c><00:23:04.779><c> opening</c><00:23:04.980><c> verses</c>

00:23:05.740 --> 00:23:07.900
presents<00:23:06.339><c> the</c><00:23:06.619><c> lesson</c><00:23:06.859><c> in</c><00:23:07.119><c> a</c><00:23:07.299><c> negative</c><00:23:07.599><c> way.</c>

00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:10.619
So<00:23:08.319><c> we've</c><00:23:08.680><c> got</c><00:23:08.859><c> to</c><00:23:09.200><c> invert</c><00:23:09.559><c> it</c><00:23:09.779><c> and</c><00:23:09.940><c> make</c><00:23:10.099><c> it</c><00:23:10.259><c> positive.</c>

00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:12.259
Now,<00:23:10.880><c> that's</c><00:23:11.099><c> not</c><00:23:11.319><c> difficult.</c>

00:23:12.819 --> 00:23:16.140
What<00:23:13.039><c> we</c><00:23:13.299><c> find</c><00:23:13.539><c> here</c><00:23:13.779><c> in</c><00:23:13.900><c> Ezekiel,</c><00:23:14.579><c> chapter</c><00:23:14.759><c> 34,</c>

00:23:16.819 --> 00:23:20.960
is<00:23:17.319><c> Ezekiel</c><00:23:17.819><c> extending</c><00:23:19.200><c> a</c><00:23:19.519><c> prophecy</c><00:23:19.859><c> here,</c>

00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:23.339
a<00:23:21.720><c> prophecy</c><00:23:22.059><c> concerning</c><00:23:22.559><c> the</c><00:23:22.819><c> shepherds.</c>

00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:26.599
Now,<00:23:23.660><c> bear</c><00:23:23.799><c> in</c><00:23:23.980><c> mind</c><00:23:24.160><c> also</c><00:23:24.599><c> what</c><00:23:24.779><c> we</c><00:23:25.039><c> said</c><00:23:25.160><c> about</c><00:23:25.519><c> prophecy.</c>

00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:29.819
Prophecy<00:23:27.339><c> is</c><00:23:27.579><c> not</c><00:23:27.819><c> so</c><00:23:28.019><c> much</c><00:23:28.240><c> foretelling</c><00:23:28.700><c> the</c><00:23:28.920><c> future.</c>

00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:34.400
It's<00:23:30.680><c> telling</c><00:23:30.880><c> us</c><00:23:31.079><c> what</c><00:23:31.240><c> we</c><00:23:31.480><c> should</c><00:23:31.660><c> do</c><00:23:32.319><c> in</c><00:23:32.980><c> view</c><00:23:33.099><c> of</c><00:23:33.279><c> the</c><00:23:33.440><c> future.</c>

00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:37.240
Being<00:23:34.819><c> like</c><00:23:35.099><c> we</c><00:23:35.319><c> are,</c><00:23:35.460><c> we're</c><00:23:35.640><c> always</c><00:23:35.940><c> interested</c><00:23:36.380><c> in</c><00:23:36.640><c> current</c><00:23:36.880><c> events</c>

00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:38.240
and<00:23:37.440><c> what</c><00:23:37.640><c> will</c><00:23:37.859><c> happen.</c>

00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:41.019
God<00:23:38.779><c> says,</c><00:23:39.140><c> I'm</c><00:23:39.180><c> more</c><00:23:39.420><c> concerned</c><00:23:39.799><c> that</c><00:23:39.960><c> you</c><00:23:40.119><c> take</c><00:23:40.339><c> some</c><00:23:40.559><c> action</c>

00:23:41.019 --> 00:23:42.539
in<00:23:41.599><c> view</c><00:23:41.759><c> of</c><00:23:41.940><c> what</c><00:23:42.019><c> will</c><00:23:42.279><c> happen.</c>

00:23:42.539 --> 00:23:49.380
So<00:23:43.380><c> Ezekiel,</c><00:23:44.019><c> chapter</c><00:23:44.400><c> 33</c><00:23:45.440><c> to</c><00:23:45.759><c> 39</c><00:23:46.779><c> is</c><00:23:48.059><c> that</c><00:23:48.400><c> section</c><00:23:48.740><c> in</c><00:23:48.980><c> Ezekiel,</c>

00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:52.500
which<00:23:49.559><c> is</c><00:23:49.779><c> known</c><00:23:49.940><c> as</c><00:23:50.160><c> the</c><00:23:50.420><c> prophecies</c><00:23:50.880><c> of</c><00:23:51.140><c> the</c><00:23:51.279><c> restoration.</c>

00:23:53.819 --> 00:23:55.539
I<00:23:54.259><c> won't</c><00:23:54.619><c> digress</c><00:23:55.079><c> at</c><00:23:55.220><c> this</c><00:23:55.420><c> point</c>

00:23:55.539 --> 00:23:57.019

00:23:57.220 --> 00:23:59.019
but<00:23:57.359><c> there</c><00:23:57.519><c> are</c><00:23:57.700><c> five</c><00:23:57.980><c> parts</c><00:23:58.279><c> in</c><00:23:58.440><c> Ezekiel.</c>

00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:01.519
The<00:23:59.619><c> glory</c><00:23:59.859><c> appears,</c><00:24:00.339><c> chapters</c><00:24:00.700><c> one</c><00:24:00.960><c> to</c><00:24:01.079><c> three.</c>

00:24:01.859 --> 00:24:04.859
The<00:24:02.099><c> glory</c><00:24:02.339><c> departs,</c><00:24:03.180><c> chapters</c><00:24:03.240><c> four</c><00:24:03.599><c> to</c><00:24:04.160><c> 25.</c>

00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:08.940
The<00:24:05.539><c> glory</c><00:24:05.779><c> is</c><00:24:06.059><c> hidden,</c><00:24:06.839><c> chapters</c><00:24:06.960><c> 26</c><00:24:07.519><c> to</c><00:24:07.819><c> 32.</c>

00:24:09.220 --> 00:24:12.559
The<00:24:09.480><c> glory</c><00:24:10.119><c> prepares</c><00:24:11.180><c> to</c><00:24:11.480><c> return,</c>

00:24:13.480 --> 00:24:16.299

00:24:16.299 --> 00:24:20.359
because<00:24:17.079><c> Ezekiel,</c><00:24:17.680><c> chapter</c><00:24:17.920><c> 37,</c><00:24:19.299><c> the</c><00:24:19.380><c> valley</c><00:24:19.619><c> of</c><00:24:19.859><c> dry</c><00:24:20.059><c> bones,</c>

00:24:28.279 --> 00:24:30.940
the<00:24:28.420><c> prophecies</c><00:24:28.759><c> of</c><00:24:28.940><c> the</c><00:24:29.059><c> restoration,</c><00:24:29.559><c> it</c><00:24:29.839><c> applies</c><00:24:30.099><c> to</c><00:24:30.400><c> our</c><00:24:30.660><c> day,</c>

00:24:31.220 --> 00:24:35.019

00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:36.759
And<00:24:35.359><c> so</c><00:24:35.460><c> having</c><00:24:35.640><c> said,</c><00:24:35.819><c> I</c><00:24:35.900><c> wouldn't</c><00:24:36.119><c> give</c><00:24:36.299><c> you</c><00:24:36.440><c> a</c><00:24:36.480><c> breakdown</c>

of<00:24:36.960><c> Ezekiel,</c><00:24:37.359><c> I've</c><00:24:37.380><c> just</c><00:24:37.619><c> given</c><00:24:37.759><c> you</c><00:24:37.940><c> one,</c>

00:24:38.059 --> 00:24:40.420
but<00:24:38.240><c> it</c><00:24:38.259><c> was</c><00:24:38.740><c> about</c><00:24:38.920><c> the</c><00:24:39.220><c> shortest</c><00:24:39.819><c> I</c><00:24:40.059><c> could</c><00:24:40.240><c> do.</c>

00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:42.220
I'm<00:24:41.059><c> suggesting,</c><00:24:41.539><c> brethren</c><00:24:41.779><c> and</c><00:24:42.000><c> sisters,</c>

00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:45.779

00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:50.640

we're<00:25:45.339><c> saying</c><00:25:45.799><c> everybody</c><00:25:46.980><c> has</c><00:25:48.099><c> in</c><00:25:48.420><c> some</c><00:25:48.640><c> way</c><00:25:48.839><c> or</c><00:25:49.079><c> other</c>

00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:52.180
the<00:25:50.200><c> responsibility</c><00:25:50.859><c> of</c><00:25:51.000><c> being</c><00:25:51.240><c> a</c><00:25:51.480><c> shepherd.</c>

00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:56.240
And<00:25:52.920><c> the</c><00:25:53.119><c> strange</c><00:25:53.339><c> thing</c><00:25:53.559><c> is</c><00:25:54.000><c> we</c><00:25:54.299><c> are</c><00:25:54.599><c> all</c><00:25:54.940><c> also</c><00:25:55.440><c> sheep.</c>

00:25:56.460 --> 00:25:58.559
And<00:25:56.599><c> the</c><00:25:56.740><c> wonderful</c><00:25:56.980><c> thing</c><00:25:57.339><c> is</c><00:25:57.619><c> that</c><00:25:57.740><c> if</c><00:25:57.859><c> we</c><00:25:58.059><c> are</c><00:25:58.099><c> all</c><00:25:58.279><c> acting</c>

00:25:58.559 --> 00:26:01.339
as<00:25:58.839><c> shepherds,</c><00:25:59.680><c> then</c><00:25:59.799><c> we're</c><00:26:00.019><c> seeing</c><00:26:00.200><c> everybody</c><00:26:00.599><c> else</c><00:26:00.880><c> as</c><00:26:01.079><c> sheep,</c>

00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:03.079
and<00:26:01.880><c> they're</c><00:26:02.059><c> seeing</c><00:26:02.299><c> us</c><00:26:02.640><c> as</c><00:26:02.839><c> sheep,</c>

00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:06.019
and<00:26:03.440><c> we</c><00:26:03.599><c> are</c><00:26:03.799><c> all</c><00:26:04.099><c> intent</c><00:26:04.579><c> on</c><00:26:05.099><c> caring</c><00:26:05.380><c> for</c><00:26:05.539><c> each</c><00:26:05.819><c> other.</c>

00:26:06.019 --> 00:26:08.900
Now,<00:26:06.619><c> look</c><00:26:06.900><c> at</c><00:26:07.039><c> what</c><00:26:07.339><c> these</c><00:26:07.680><c> shepherds</c><00:26:08.140><c> didn't</c><00:26:08.539><c> do,</c>

00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:10.460
and<00:26:09.119><c> look</c><00:26:09.240><c> what</c><00:26:09.440><c> happened.</c>

00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:14.619
And<00:26:10.819><c> so</c><00:26:11.119><c> from</c><00:26:11.660><c> the</c><00:26:11.880><c> negative,</c><00:26:12.839><c> we</c><00:26:12.920><c> hope</c><00:26:13.099><c> to</c><00:26:13.279><c> bring</c><00:26:13.599><c> forth</c><00:26:14.000><c> a</c><00:26:14.279><c> positive.</c>

00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:18.660
In<00:26:15.180><c> Ezekiel</c><00:26:15.599><c> chapter</c><00:26:15.980><c> 34,</c><00:26:17.519><c> he's</c><00:26:17.880><c> told</c><00:26:18.019><c> to</c><00:26:18.259><c> prophesy</c>

00:26:18.660 --> 00:26:21.059
against<00:26:19.000><c> the</c><00:26:19.240><c> shepherds</c><00:26:19.559><c> in</c><00:26:19.740><c> verse</c><00:26:20.039><c> two.</c>

00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:23.220
Let's<00:26:21.400><c> see</c><00:26:21.720><c> then</c><00:26:21.960><c> what</c><00:26:22.140><c> the</c><00:26:22.380><c> shepherds</c><00:26:22.599><c> should</c><00:26:22.819><c> have</c><00:26:22.960><c> done.</c>

00:26:23.500 --> 00:26:27.519
Woe<00:26:23.839><c> be</c><00:26:23.960><c> to</c><00:26:24.099><c> the</c><00:26:24.259><c> shepherds</c><00:26:24.519><c> of</c><00:26:24.640><c> Israel</c><00:26:25.059><c> that</c><00:26:25.500><c> do</c><00:26:25.900><c> feed</c><00:26:26.220><c> themselves.</c>

00:26:28.859 --> 00:26:30.940
Should<00:26:29.079><c> not</c><00:26:29.279><c> the</c><00:26:29.460><c> shepherds</c><00:26:29.720><c> feed</c><00:26:29.980><c> the</c><00:26:30.220><c> flock?</c>

00:26:31.539 --> 00:26:32.839
They<00:26:31.819><c> do</c><00:26:32.019><c> feed</c><00:26:32.240><c> themselves.</c>

00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:36.539
If<00:26:33.400><c> I</c><00:26:34.160><c> ask</c><00:26:34.359><c> this</c><00:26:34.579><c> question,</c><00:26:34.960><c> I'm</c><00:26:35.019><c> sure</c><00:26:35.220><c> everybody</c><00:26:35.839><c> who</c><00:26:36.339><c> has</c>

00:26:39.099 --> 00:26:42.799
What<00:26:39.279><c> is</c><00:26:39.519><c> the</c><00:26:39.700><c> sort</c><00:26:39.920><c> of</c><00:26:40.200><c> person</c><00:26:40.859><c> that</c><00:26:41.440><c> has</c><00:26:41.599><c> been</c><00:26:41.920><c> baptised</c>

00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:47.400

00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:48.960
that<00:26:47.700><c> they</c><00:26:47.880><c> are</c><00:26:48.059><c> feeding</c><00:26:48.359><c> themselves?</c>

00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:50.940
Why<00:26:49.500><c> are</c><00:26:49.680><c> they</c><00:26:49.799><c> in</c><00:26:49.940><c> the</c><00:26:50.180><c> truth?</c>

00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:53.700
What's<00:26:51.779><c> their</c><00:26:51.920><c> motivation</c><00:26:52.500><c> in</c><00:26:52.700><c> the</c><00:26:52.900><c> truth?</c>

00:26:56.079 --> 00:26:57.339
Their<00:26:56.299><c> motivation</c><00:26:56.839><c> in</c><00:26:57.019><c> the</c><00:26:57.200><c> truth,</c>

00:26:57.339 --> 00:27:02.259
I<00:26:57.660><c> am</c><00:26:57.799><c> in</c><00:26:57.900><c> the</c><00:26:58.119><c> truth</c><00:26:58.279><c> because</c><00:26:58.740><c> I</c><00:26:59.039><c> want</c><00:26:59.460><c> to</c><00:27:00.099><c> be</c><00:27:01.059><c> saved.</c>

00:27:02.259 --> 00:27:05.599
I<00:27:02.480><c> want</c><00:27:02.819><c> personal</c><00:27:03.480><c> salvation,</c><00:27:04.559><c> and</c><00:27:04.640><c> I</c><00:27:04.740><c> will</c><00:27:04.940><c> take</c><00:27:05.180><c> everything</c>

00:27:05.599 --> 00:27:08.299
out<00:27:05.819><c> of</c><00:27:05.920><c> the</c><00:27:06.119><c> Ecclesia</c><00:27:06.400><c> I</c><00:27:06.519><c> can</c><00:27:06.779><c> get</c><00:27:06.980><c> so</c><00:27:07.319><c> that</c><00:27:07.480><c> I</c><00:27:07.640><c> can</c><00:27:07.819><c> be</c><00:27:08.039><c> saved.</c>

00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:11.220
Are<00:27:08.680><c> they</c><00:27:08.819><c> in</c><00:27:08.980><c> the</c><00:27:09.160><c> truth</c><00:27:09.299><c> for</c><00:27:09.700><c> God</c><00:27:09.960><c> manifestation?</c>

00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:13.880
How<00:27:12.220><c> do</c><00:27:12.380><c> we</c><00:27:12.539><c> manifest</c><00:27:12.940><c> God?</c>

00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:17.079
We<00:27:14.779><c> serve</c><00:27:15.079><c> God</c><00:27:15.500><c> by</c><00:27:15.839><c> serving</c><00:27:16.160><c> others.</c>

00:27:17.559 --> 00:27:19.059
That's<00:27:17.759><c> how</c><00:27:17.920><c> we</c><00:27:18.039><c> do</c><00:27:18.220><c> it.</c>

00:27:19.140 --> 00:27:21.700
We<00:27:19.279><c> can</c><00:27:19.519><c> serve</c><00:27:19.680><c> God</c><00:27:19.880><c> in</c><00:27:20.059><c> our</c><00:27:20.220><c> mind,</c><00:27:20.420><c> but</c><00:27:20.519><c> in</c><00:27:20.720><c> our</c><00:27:20.880><c> practical</c><00:27:21.240><c> ways,</c>

00:27:22.140 --> 00:27:24.140
we<00:27:22.319><c> serve</c><00:27:22.500><c> God</c><00:27:22.740><c> by</c><00:27:23.000><c> serving</c><00:27:23.259><c> others.</c>

00:27:24.180 --> 00:27:26.220
So<00:27:24.420><c> look</c><00:27:24.599><c> at</c><00:27:24.700><c> what</c><00:27:24.880><c> they</c><00:27:25.099><c> didn't</c><00:27:25.339><c> do.</c>

00:27:26.500 --> 00:27:29.559
We<00:27:26.799><c> pick</c><00:27:26.960><c> it</c><00:27:27.119><c> up</c><00:27:27.640><c> from</c><00:27:28.119><c> the</c><00:27:28.319><c> latter</c><00:27:28.519><c> part</c><00:27:28.819><c> of</c><00:27:28.980><c> verse</c><00:27:29.200><c> three.</c>

00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:32.019
These<00:27:30.019><c> are</c><00:27:30.319><c> the</c><00:27:30.579><c> six</c><00:27:30.839><c> things</c><00:27:31.200><c> they</c><00:27:31.400><c> didn't</c><00:27:31.660><c> do.</c>

00:27:32.339 --> 00:27:34.079
Now<00:27:32.599><c> watch</c><00:27:32.839><c> as</c><00:27:33.220><c> we</c><00:27:33.420><c> read</c><00:27:33.680><c> these,</c>

00:27:34.299 --> 00:27:37.359
because<00:27:34.579><c> there's</c><00:27:34.819><c> a</c><00:27:34.960><c> very</c><00:27:35.259><c> definite</c><00:27:35.519><c> progression</c><00:27:36.019><c> here.</c>

00:27:37.420 --> 00:27:38.519
Progression?

00:27:38.779 --> 00:27:40.319
Progression<00:27:39.299><c> means</c><00:27:39.559><c> going</c><00:27:39.859><c> forward.</c>

00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:44.380
This<00:27:40.940><c> wasn't</c><00:27:41.180><c> going</c><00:27:41.440><c> forward,</c><00:27:41.900><c> but</c><00:27:42.420><c> it's</c><00:27:42.640><c> going</c><00:27:42.880><c> forward</c><00:27:43.220><c> in</c><00:27:43.460><c> words.</c>

00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:47.519
But<00:27:44.920><c> it's</c><00:27:45.059><c> going</c><00:27:45.319><c> down</c><00:27:45.920><c> in</c><00:27:46.539><c> attributes.</c>

00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:48.740
The<00:27:47.700><c> latter</c><00:27:47.740><c> part</c><00:27:47.980><c> of</c><00:27:48.140><c> verse</c><00:27:48.319><c> three.</c>

00:27:48.980 --> 00:27:51.720
You<00:27:49.119><c> are</c><00:27:49.559><c> not</c><00:27:50.039><c> feeding</c><00:27:50.500><c> the</c><00:27:50.859><c> flock.</c>

The<00:27:53.299><c> diseased</c><00:27:53.839><c> have</c><00:27:54.019><c> you</c><00:27:54.180><c> not</c><00:27:54.400><c> strengthened.</c>

00:27:56.539 --> 00:27:58.980
You've<00:27:56.859><c> not</c><00:27:57.140><c> healed</c><00:27:57.460><c> those</c><00:27:57.779><c> that</c><00:27:57.940><c> were</c><00:27:58.160><c> sick.</c>

00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:03.079
You've<00:27:59.920><c> not</c><00:28:00.259><c> bound</c><00:28:00.599><c> up</c><00:28:01.440><c> those</c><00:28:01.819><c> that</c><00:28:01.960><c> were</c><00:28:02.160><c> broken.</c>

00:28:03.579 --> 00:28:07.579
You've<00:28:03.880><c> not</c><00:28:04.119><c> brought</c><00:28:04.339><c> again</c><00:28:05.039><c> those</c><00:28:05.779><c> that</c><00:28:05.920><c> were</c><00:28:06.099><c> driven</c><00:28:06.279><c> away.</c>

00:28:07.819 --> 00:28:11.380

00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:21.059
And<00:30:19.660><c> that's</c><00:30:19.759><c> what</c><00:30:19.940><c> John's</c><00:30:20.359><c> Gospel's</c><00:30:20.700><c> all</c><00:30:20.859><c> about.</c>

00:30:21.059 --> 00:30:23.559
So<00:30:21.480><c> if</c><00:30:21.740><c> you</c><00:30:21.940><c> are</c><00:30:22.160><c> feeding</c><00:30:22.500><c> the</c><00:30:22.779><c> flock,</c>

00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:25.039
then<00:30:24.019><c> you're</c><00:30:24.180><c> not</c><00:30:24.299><c> going</c><00:30:24.420><c> to</c><00:30:24.500><c> have</c><00:30:24.579><c> weak</c><00:30:24.779><c> ones.</c>

00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:27.220
Now<00:30:25.619><c> every</c><00:30:25.839><c> one</c><00:30:25.980><c> of</c><00:30:26.079><c> us</c><00:30:26.180><c> have</c><00:30:26.380><c> that</c><00:30:26.619><c> responsibility</c>

00:30:27.220 --> 00:30:29.019
to<00:30:27.519><c> do</c><00:30:27.680><c> that</c><00:30:27.859><c> to</c><00:30:28.000><c> the</c><00:30:28.079><c> best</c><00:30:28.319><c> of</c><00:30:28.480><c> our</c><00:30:28.660><c> ability.</c>

00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:33.099
So<00:30:29.859><c> it's</c><00:30:30.180><c> the</c><00:30:31.599><c> ones</c><00:30:31.900><c> that</c><00:30:32.079><c> aren't</c><00:30:32.200><c> being</c><00:30:32.480><c> fed</c><00:30:32.720><c> properly</c>

00:30:33.099 --> 00:30:36.740
that<00:30:33.420><c> become</c><00:30:34.059><c> weak,</c><00:30:35.740><c> the</c><00:30:35.859><c> weak</c><00:30:36.019><c> become</c><00:30:36.359><c> sick,</c>

00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:39.880
the<00:30:37.200><c> sick</c><00:30:37.359><c> become</c><00:30:37.799><c> torn,</c><00:30:38.460><c> the</c><00:30:38.700><c> torn</c><00:30:38.839><c> become</c><00:30:39.180><c> driven</c><00:30:39.460><c> out,</c>

00:30:40.059 --> 00:30:41.339
the<00:30:40.220><c> driven</c><00:30:40.359><c> out</c><00:30:40.599><c> become</c><00:30:40.920><c> strained.</c>

00:30:41.460 --> 00:30:47.240
At<00:30:41.759><c> what</c><00:30:42.059><c> point</c><00:30:42.900><c> do</c><00:30:44.140><c> we</c><00:30:44.579><c> very</c><00:30:44.859><c> often</c><00:30:45.680><c> assess</c><00:30:46.400><c> the</c><00:30:46.640><c> situation</c>

00:30:47.240 --> 00:30:49.119
that<00:30:47.420><c> I</c><00:30:47.500><c> think</c><00:30:47.759><c> brother</c><00:30:48.059><c> or</c><00:30:48.279><c> sister</c><00:30:48.559><c> so</c><00:30:48.819><c>-and</c><00:30:49.019><c>-so</c>

00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:50.880
isn't<00:30:49.380><c> going</c><00:30:49.680><c> too</c><00:30:50.039><c> well?</c>

00:30:51.380 --> 00:30:54.240
Which<00:30:51.900><c> of</c><00:30:52.059><c> those</c><00:30:52.380><c> six</c><00:30:52.640><c> stages</c><00:30:52.960><c> have</c><00:30:53.140><c> they</c><00:30:53.299><c> reached?</c>

00:30:54.779 --> 00:30:58.000
The<00:30:55.000><c> chances</c><00:30:55.400><c> are</c><00:30:55.759><c> it's</c><00:30:56.359><c> step</c><00:30:56.579><c> number</c><00:30:56.880><c> six.</c>

00:30:58.160 --> 00:30:59.759
We<00:30:58.259><c> haven't</c><00:30:58.500><c> seen</c><00:30:58.819><c> them</c><00:30:59.000><c> for</c><00:30:59.259><c> a</c><00:30:59.380><c> while.</c>

00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:01.079
They<00:31:00.299><c> haven't</c><00:31:00.440><c> been</c><00:31:00.700><c> around.</c>

00:31:01.559 --> 00:31:02.799
And<00:31:01.740><c> whose</c><00:31:01.960><c> fault</c><00:31:02.220><c> is</c><00:31:02.440><c> that?</c>

00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:06.180
Oh,<00:31:03.640><c> well,</c><00:31:03.779><c> you</c><00:31:03.880><c> know,</c><00:31:04.500><c> they</c><00:31:04.700><c> never</c><00:31:05.000><c> really</c><00:31:05.519><c> were</c><00:31:05.779><c> serious</c>

00:31:06.180 --> 00:31:06.619
about<00:31:06.500><c> it.</c>

00:31:07.019 --> 00:31:09.599
They<00:31:07.400><c> still</c><00:31:07.779><c> had</c><00:31:08.019><c> their</c><00:31:08.680><c> friends</c><00:31:09.000><c> out</c><00:31:09.319><c> there.</c>

00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:11.200
And<00:31:10.099><c> you</c><00:31:10.240><c> know,</c><00:31:10.319><c> they</c><00:31:10.359><c> were</c><00:31:10.559><c> still</c><00:31:10.839><c> tied</c><00:31:11.019><c> up</c>

00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:13.799
with<00:31:11.380><c> this</c><00:31:12.319><c> activity</c><00:31:12.839><c> or</c><00:31:13.200><c> club</c><00:31:13.400><c> or</c><00:31:13.579><c> something.</c>

00:31:14.180 --> 00:31:15.920
And<00:31:14.619><c> their</c><00:31:14.859><c> mind</c><00:31:14.960><c> really</c><00:31:15.279><c> wasn't</c><00:31:15.500><c> on</c><00:31:15.700><c> the</c><00:31:15.859><c> trip.</c>

00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:18.920
Oh,<00:31:16.299><c> yes,</c><00:31:16.579><c> yes,</c><00:31:16.839><c> yes,</c><00:31:17.059><c> there's</c><00:31:17.259><c> all</c><00:31:17.500><c> sorts</c><00:31:17.740><c> of</c><00:31:18.059><c> excuses.</c>

00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:24.140
What<00:31:19.980><c> had</c><00:31:20.319><c> I</c><00:31:20.740><c> done</c><00:31:21.539><c> to</c><00:31:22.079><c> help</c><00:31:22.319><c> them</c><00:31:22.480><c> when</c><00:31:22.599><c> I</c><00:31:22.740><c> did</c><00:31:22.960><c> see</c><00:31:23.220><c> them?</c>

00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:26.740
And<00:31:25.039><c> you</c><00:31:25.160><c> see,</c><00:31:25.319><c> I</c><00:31:25.319><c> think</c><00:31:25.480><c> the</c><00:31:25.680><c> trouble</c><00:31:25.880><c> in</c><00:31:26.099><c> ecclesial</c><00:31:26.500><c> life</c>

00:31:26.740 --> 00:31:28.980
is<00:31:26.980><c> that</c><00:31:27.359><c> most</c><00:31:27.640><c> of</c><00:31:27.799><c> us</c><00:31:27.859><c> don't</c><00:31:28.119><c> see</c><00:31:28.380><c> ourselves</c>

00:31:28.980 --> 00:31:31.480
as<00:31:29.779><c> having</c><00:31:29.960><c> that</c><00:31:30.200><c> responsibility,</c>

00:31:31.660 --> 00:31:32.960
especially<00:31:31.859><c> if</c><00:31:32.039><c> we're</c><00:31:32.220><c> young</c><00:31:32.400><c> in</c><00:31:32.579><c> the</c><00:31:32.759><c> truth,</c>

00:31:33.099 --> 00:31:36.839
be<00:31:33.200><c> it</c><00:31:33.299><c> young</c><00:31:33.400><c> in</c><00:31:33.640><c> age</c><00:31:33.900><c> or</c><00:31:34.980><c> young</c><00:31:35.460><c> since</c><00:31:35.700><c> our</c><00:31:35.920><c> baptism.</c>

00:31:37.740 --> 00:31:40.839
These<00:31:38.200><c> were</c><00:31:38.619><c> not</c><00:31:38.960><c> good</c><00:31:39.440><c> shepherds.</c>

00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:43.200
Now,<00:31:41.180><c> it's</c><00:31:41.299><c> very</c><00:31:41.619><c> easy</c><00:31:41.839><c> to</c><00:31:42.119><c> invert</c><00:31:42.420><c> all</c><00:31:42.619><c> that</c><00:31:42.759><c> and</c><00:31:43.000><c> say,</c>

00:31:43.319 --> 00:31:44.220
what<00:31:43.500><c> should</c><00:31:43.680><c> we</c><00:31:43.859><c> be</c><00:31:44.019><c> doing?</c>

00:31:44.539 --> 00:31:46.180
We<00:31:44.759><c> should</c><00:31:44.980><c> feed</c><00:31:45.279><c> the</c><00:31:45.480><c> flock.</c>

00:31:46.279 --> 00:31:48.500
And<00:31:46.500><c> ideally,</c><00:31:47.440><c> there</c><00:31:47.500><c> won't</c><00:31:47.720><c> be</c><00:31:47.940><c> weak</c><00:31:48.119><c> ones.</c>

00:31:48.779 --> 00:31:51.559
Now,<00:31:48.920><c> I</c><00:31:49.000><c> say</c><00:31:49.220><c> ideally,</c><00:31:49.960><c> because</c><00:31:50.299><c> we</c><00:31:50.700><c> don't</c><00:31:50.880><c> do</c><00:31:51.039><c> it</c><00:31:51.220><c> perfectly,</c>

00:31:51.740 --> 00:31:53.039
there<00:31:51.859><c> will</c><00:31:52.059><c> become</c><00:31:52.380><c> some</c><00:31:52.599><c> weak</c><00:31:52.799><c> ones.</c>

00:31:53.220 --> 00:31:55.839
But<00:31:53.359><c> at</c><00:31:53.480><c> least</c><00:31:53.660><c> we</c><00:31:53.839><c> can</c><00:31:54.059><c> perhaps</c><00:31:54.279><c> notice</c><00:31:54.720><c> they're</c><00:31:55.039><c> weak,</c>

00:31:56.359 --> 00:31:58.299
maybe<00:31:56.640><c> just</c><00:31:57.000><c> because</c><00:31:57.359><c> of,</c><00:31:57.819><c> I</c><00:31:58.000><c> don't</c><00:31:58.160><c> know,</c>

00:31:58.599 --> 00:31:59.799
the<00:31:58.759><c> general</c><00:31:59.099><c> conversation,</c>

00:32:00.059 --> 00:32:02.500
or<00:32:00.299><c> you</c><00:32:00.559><c> can</c><00:32:00.740><c> just</c><00:32:00.960><c> sense</c><00:32:01.140><c> it</c><00:32:01.339><c> somewhere</c><00:32:01.660><c> or</c><00:32:01.799><c> other.</c>

00:32:02.740 --> 00:32:05.099
So<00:32:02.900><c> you</c><00:32:03.079><c> invite</c><00:32:03.240><c> yourself</c><00:32:03.640><c> around,</c><00:32:04.000><c> invite</c><00:32:04.380><c> yourself</c><00:32:04.740><c> around,</c>

00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:06.400
or<00:32:05.299><c> you</c><00:32:05.500><c> invite</c><00:32:05.720><c> them</c><00:32:05.960><c> around</c><00:32:06.200><c> saying,</c>

00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:08.119
they'll<00:32:06.799><c> come</c><00:32:06.900><c> around</c><00:32:07.059><c> and</c><00:32:07.180><c> do</c><00:32:07.279><c> the</c><00:32:07.480><c> readings</c><00:32:07.740><c> tonight,</c>

00:32:08.299 --> 00:32:10.160
or<00:32:08.519><c> something</c><00:32:08.900><c> like</c><00:32:09.259><c> that.</c>

00:32:10.500 --> 00:32:12.480
You<00:32:10.680><c> know,</c><00:32:10.900><c> I</c><00:32:11.240><c> know</c><00:32:11.400><c> we</c><00:32:11.619><c> can't</c><00:32:11.900><c> have</c><00:32:12.079><c> our</c><00:32:12.319><c> heads</c>

00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:14.599

00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:16.599
and<00:32:15.000><c> nobody</c><00:32:15.519><c> is</c><00:32:15.880><c> saying</c><00:32:16.079><c> that.</c>

00:32:17.099 --> 00:32:19.819
But<00:32:17.259><c> you</c><00:32:17.400><c> know,</c><00:32:17.700><c> if</c><00:32:17.839><c> we</c><00:32:18.019><c> are</c><00:32:18.240><c> studying</c><00:32:18.519><c> our</c><00:32:18.859><c> Bibles,</c>

00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:25.740
that<00:32:22.759><c> when</c><00:32:22.940><c> we</c><00:32:23.079><c> go</c><00:32:23.359><c> back</c><00:32:23.599><c> into</c><00:32:23.779><c> the</c><00:32:23.980><c> world,</c><00:32:24.359><c> say</c><00:32:24.380><c> on</c><00:32:24.500><c> Monday</c><00:32:24.819><c> morning,</c>

you<00:32:26.240><c> know,</c><00:32:26.359><c> I</c><00:32:26.519><c> think</c><00:32:26.680><c> many</c><00:32:26.980><c> of</c><00:32:27.140><c> us</c><00:32:27.299><c> here</c>

00:32:27.539 --> 00:32:30.619

00:32:31.559 --> 00:32:34.500
or<00:32:32.019><c> our</c><00:32:32.400><c> friends</c><00:32:32.660><c> at</c><00:32:32.920><c> work</c><00:32:33.140><c> or</c><00:32:33.299><c> something</c><00:32:33.599><c> in</c><00:32:33.819><c> a</c><00:32:33.960><c> different</c><00:32:34.180><c> light.</c>

00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:37.220
We're<00:32:35.339><c> going</c><00:32:35.480><c> to</c><00:32:35.700><c> just</c><00:32:35.940><c> see</c><00:32:36.099><c> them</c><00:32:36.299><c> a</c><00:32:36.400><c> little</c><00:32:36.660><c> bit</c><00:32:36.859><c> more</c>

00:32:37.220 --> 00:32:39.000
through<00:32:37.640><c> God's</c><00:32:38.140><c> eyes.</c>

00:32:39.059 --> 00:32:41.200
Isn't<00:32:39.240><c> that</c><00:32:39.380><c> what</c><00:32:39.480><c> we've</c><00:32:39.740><c> learnt</c><00:32:39.819><c> from</c><00:32:40.019><c> John's</c><00:32:40.420><c> Gospel?</c>

00:32:41.220 --> 00:32:43.220
When<00:32:41.519><c> Jesus</c><00:32:42.000><c> looked</c><00:32:42.259><c> at</c><00:32:42.440><c> these</c><00:32:42.680><c> people,</c>

00:32:43.220 --> 00:32:44.740
he<00:32:43.680><c> felt</c><00:32:43.920><c> sorry</c><00:32:44.259><c> for</c><00:32:44.440><c> them.</c>

00:32:45.220 --> 00:32:47.420
I<00:32:45.240><c> think</c><00:32:45.400><c> he</c><00:32:45.539><c> felt</c><00:32:45.740><c> sorry</c><00:32:46.019><c> for</c><00:32:46.180><c> the</c><00:32:46.339><c> Pharisees.</c>

00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:48.940
He<00:32:47.740><c> felt</c><00:32:47.960><c> sorry</c><00:32:48.220><c> for</c><00:32:48.440><c> Nicodemus.</c>

00:32:49.099 --> 00:32:52.400
My<00:32:49.380><c> word,</c><00:32:49.880><c> he</c><00:32:49.880><c> gave</c><00:32:50.200><c> Nicodemus</c><00:32:51.039><c> an</c><00:32:51.480><c> up</c><00:32:51.700><c> rating,</c><00:32:51.940><c> didn't</c><00:32:52.160><c> he?</c>

00:32:52.779 --> 00:32:54.460
But<00:32:53.000><c> Nicodemus</c><00:32:53.500><c> accepted</c><00:32:53.900><c> it.</c>

00:32:54.859 --> 00:32:56.140
So<00:32:55.099><c> what</c><00:32:55.400><c> we're</c><00:32:55.619><c> trying</c><00:32:55.819><c> to</c><00:32:55.980><c> do</c>

00:32:56.140 --> 00:32:57.940
is<00:32:56.319><c> see</c><00:32:56.559><c> each</c><00:32:56.880><c> other</c><00:32:57.039><c> through</c><00:32:57.279><c> God's</c><00:32:57.740><c> eyes,</c>

00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:02.299
and<00:32:58.279><c> see</c><00:32:58.480><c> each</c><00:32:58.740><c> other's,</c><00:33:00.099><c> our</c><00:33:00.259><c> brothers</c><00:33:00.460><c> and</c><00:33:00.740><c> sisters'</c><00:33:01.279><c> needs.</c>

00:33:02.339 --> 00:33:06.579
Now,<00:33:03.039><c> this</c><00:33:03.299><c> of</c><00:33:03.519><c> course</c><00:33:03.740><c> is</c><00:33:04.059><c> what</c><00:33:04.339><c> the</c><00:33:04.960><c> good</c><00:33:05.299><c> shepherd</c><00:33:05.700><c> did.</c>

00:33:06.859 --> 00:33:11.819
So<00:33:07.220><c> when</c><00:33:07.480><c> we</c><00:33:07.680><c> go</c><00:33:07.900><c> back</c><00:33:08.279><c> to</c><00:33:10.099><c> John</c><00:33:10.420><c> chapter</c><00:33:10.799><c> 10,</c>

00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:15.599
we've<00:33:12.319><c> now</c><00:33:12.579><c> got</c><00:33:12.799><c> the</c><00:33:13.019><c> Lord</c><00:33:13.359><c> saying</c><00:33:13.980><c> that</c><00:33:14.299><c> he</c><00:33:14.599><c> is</c><00:33:14.900><c> the</c><00:33:15.079><c> good</c><00:33:15.299><c> shepherd.</c>

00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:19.099
He<00:33:16.099><c> did</c><00:33:16.259><c> all</c><00:33:16.539><c> of</c><00:33:16.779><c> these</c><00:33:17.099><c> things</c><00:33:17.720><c> perfectly.</c>

00:33:19.799 --> 00:33:22.079
Not<00:33:20.019><c> that</c><00:33:20.180><c> he</c><00:33:20.299><c> got</c><00:33:20.619><c> perfect</c><00:33:21.000><c> results,</c>

00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:24.460
because<00:33:22.440><c> not</c><00:33:22.700><c> everybody</c><00:33:23.240><c> responded.</c>

00:33:25.180 --> 00:33:27.359
But<00:33:25.319><c> our</c><00:33:25.559><c> exhortation</c><00:33:26.160><c> then</c><00:33:26.420><c> is</c><00:33:26.779><c> that</c>

00:33:27.359 --> 00:33:30.180
if<00:33:27.799><c> we're</c><00:33:28.039><c> going</c><00:33:28.119><c> to</c><00:33:28.319><c> follow</c><00:33:28.480><c> the</c><00:33:28.740><c> example</c><00:33:29.059><c> of</c><00:33:29.259><c> the</c><00:33:29.400><c> Lord,</c>

00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:32.000
then<00:33:30.339><c> it's</c><00:33:30.579><c> got</c><00:33:30.680><c> to</c><00:33:30.859><c> be</c><00:33:31.019><c> seen</c><00:33:31.240><c> in</c><00:33:31.480><c> this</c><00:33:31.740><c> sense</c>

00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:34.880
as<00:33:32.599><c> being</c><00:33:32.920><c> of</c><00:33:33.240><c> the</c><00:33:33.740><c> good</c><00:33:33.980><c> shepherd.</c>

00:33:35.559 --> 00:33:40.079
There<00:33:35.720><c> was</c><00:33:35.980><c> an</c><00:33:36.940><c> extract</c><00:33:37.440><c> taken</c><00:33:39.039><c> from</c><00:33:39.680><c> a</c><00:33:39.839><c> book</c>

00:33:43.539 --> 00:33:45.400
Incidentally,<00:33:44.119><c> there's</c><00:33:44.539><c> a</c><00:33:44.740><c> set</c><00:33:44.920><c> of</c><00:33:45.180><c> notes,</c>

00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:47.680
I<00:33:45.539><c> think</c><00:33:45.740><c> they're</c><00:33:45.980><c> still</c><00:33:46.180><c> readily</c><00:33:46.559><c> available,</c>

00:33:54.920 --> 00:33:56.259
It's<00:33:55.059><c> an</c><00:33:55.200><c> excellent</c><00:33:55.539><c> set</c><00:33:55.759><c> of</c><00:33:55.960><c> notes.</c>

00:33:56.519 --> 00:33:58.960

00:34:16.260 --> 00:34:18.099
when<00:34:16.420><c> he</c><00:34:16.679><c> travelled</c><00:34:16.940><c> through</c><00:34:17.340><c> Palestine,</c>

00:34:18.559 --> 00:34:22.199
when<00:34:18.840><c> things</c><00:34:19.219><c> were</c><00:34:19.820><c> much</c><00:34:20.340><c> simpler</c><00:34:20.659><c> than</c><00:34:20.840><c> they</c><00:34:21.059><c> are</c><00:34:21.260><c> now.</c>

00:34:22.219 --> 00:34:23.579
And<00:34:22.480><c> this</c><00:34:22.659><c> is</c><00:34:22.800><c> what</c><00:34:22.940><c> he</c><00:34:23.219><c> saw</c>

And<00:34:27.820><c> I</c><00:34:27.920><c> can</c><00:34:28.159><c> tell</c><00:34:28.260><c> you</c><00:34:28.380><c> this,</c><00:34:28.619><c> I'll</c><00:34:28.860><c> guarantee</c><00:34:29.199><c> this,</c>

00:34:31.880 --> 00:34:34.000

00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:01.679
Some<00:35:00.039><c> of</c><00:35:00.239><c> it</c><00:35:00.380><c> is</c><00:35:00.519><c> there</c><00:35:00.739><c> and</c><00:35:00.920><c> some</c><00:35:01.159><c> of</c><00:35:01.280><c> it</c><00:35:01.400><c> is</c><00:35:01.480><c> up</c><00:35:01.599><c> there.</c>

00:35:01.739 --> 00:35:03.980

00:37:23.940 --> 00:37:26.059
It<00:37:24.300><c> does</c><00:37:24.559><c> sound</c><00:37:24.780><c> so</c><00:37:24.980><c> much</c><00:37:25.119><c> like</c><00:37:25.400><c> human</c><00:37:25.639><c> beings,</c>

00:37:26.059 --> 00:37:28.099
and<00:37:26.519><c> I</c><00:37:26.659><c> thought</c><00:37:26.880><c> that</c><00:37:27.079><c> little</c><00:37:27.420><c> point</c><00:37:27.639><c> there,</c>

00:37:28.440 --> 00:37:31.440
every<00:37:28.539><c> now</c><00:37:28.659><c> and</c><00:37:28.780><c> again</c><00:37:28.920><c> they</c><00:37:29.079><c> look</c><00:37:29.280><c> up</c><00:37:29.519><c> to</c><00:37:29.619><c> see</c><00:37:29.820><c> where</c><00:37:30.539><c> Christ</c><00:37:30.900><c> is</c>

00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:35.420
or<00:37:31.940><c> more</c><00:37:32.260><c> particularly</c><00:37:32.920><c> where</c><00:37:33.980><c> the</c><00:37:34.199><c> general</c><00:37:34.480><c> flock</c><00:37:34.679><c> is.</c>

00:37:35.860 --> 00:37:36.840
And<00:37:35.920><c> you</c><00:37:36.000><c> know,</c><00:37:36.320><c> brethren</c><00:37:36.440><c> and</c><00:37:36.639><c> sisters,</c>

00:37:36.880 --> 00:37:39.860
if<00:37:37.039><c> we</c><00:37:37.179><c> just</c><00:37:37.400><c> keep</c><00:37:37.659><c> judging</c><00:37:38.059><c> ourselves</c><00:37:38.559><c> by</c><00:37:38.880><c> others,</c>

00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:42.099
we're<00:37:40.300><c> sort</c><00:37:40.440><c> of</c><00:37:40.599><c> lowering</c><00:37:40.860><c> our</c><00:37:41.139><c> standards.</c>

00:37:42.699 --> 00:37:45.980
We<00:37:42.900><c> must</c><00:37:43.199><c> always</c><00:37:44.119><c> aim</c><00:37:44.699><c> for</c><00:37:45.019><c> perfection.</c>

00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:48.500
We<00:37:46.820><c> know</c><00:37:47.239><c> we're</c><00:37:47.440><c> not</c><00:37:47.639><c> going</c><00:37:47.800><c> to</c><00:37:47.980><c> achieve</c><00:37:48.260><c> it,</c>

00:37:48.579 --> 00:37:50.699
but<00:37:48.820><c> we</c><00:37:49.039><c> don't</c><00:37:49.340><c> use</c><00:37:49.599><c> that</c><00:37:49.800><c> as</c><00:37:49.940><c> an</c><00:37:50.079><c> excuse</c><00:37:50.340><c> to</c><00:37:50.559><c> say,</c>

00:37:50.719 --> 00:37:52.119
well,<00:37:51.219><c> perfection's</c><00:37:51.699><c> up</c><00:37:51.920><c> here.</c>

00:37:52.260 --> 00:37:54.920
I<00:37:52.519><c> think</c><00:37:52.679><c> today</c><00:37:52.900><c> I'll</c><00:37:53.219><c> try</c><00:37:53.420><c> to</c><00:37:53.599><c> make</c><00:37:53.739><c> it</c><00:37:53.960><c> to</c><00:37:54.139><c> there.</c>

00:37:54.869 --> 00:37:57.519
No,<00:37:55.360><c> we</c><00:37:55.500><c> always</c><00:37:56.139><c> aim</c><00:37:56.400><c> for</c><00:37:56.619><c> perfection</c>

00:37:57.539 --> 00:37:59.880
because<00:37:57.820><c> if</c><00:37:58.079><c> we</c><00:37:58.320><c> aim</c><00:37:58.960><c> lower,</c>

00:38:00.380 --> 00:38:03.599
we<00:38:00.480><c> will</c><00:38:00.780><c> achieve</c><00:38:01.179><c> correspondingly</c><00:38:02.340><c> lower</c><00:38:02.579><c> results.</c>

00:38:03.760 --> 00:38:04.860
So<00:38:03.920><c> don't</c><00:38:04.159><c> come</c><00:38:04.380><c> in</c><00:38:04.599><c> and</c><00:38:04.739><c> say,</c>

or<00:38:08.079><c> I</c><00:38:08.219><c> think</c><00:38:08.440><c> I've</c><00:38:08.960><c> marked</c><00:38:09.179><c> up</c><00:38:09.340><c> more</c><00:38:09.519><c> of</c><00:38:09.679><c> my</c><00:38:09.900><c> Bible</c>

00:38:12.019 --> 00:38:15.500
It's<00:38:12.440><c> not</c><00:38:12.659><c> a</c><00:38:12.800><c> matter</c><00:38:12.980><c> of</c><00:38:13.420><c> me</c><00:38:13.719><c> comparing</c><00:38:14.139><c> myself</c><00:38:14.619><c> with</c><00:38:14.840><c> you</c>

And<00:38:50.099><c> he</c><00:38:50.219><c> spoke</c><00:38:50.460><c> about</c><00:38:50.739><c> the</c><00:38:51.239><c> big</c><00:38:51.599><c> sheep</c>

00:38:53.760 --> 00:38:54.820
muddying<00:38:54.239><c> it</c><00:38:54.420><c> all</c><00:38:54.599><c> up,</c>

00:38:55.260 --> 00:38:58.119
and<00:38:55.300><c> by</c><00:38:55.559><c> the</c><00:38:55.719><c> time</c><00:38:55.960><c> the</c><00:38:56.940><c> little</c><00:38:57.400><c> sheep</c><00:38:57.639><c> got</c><00:38:57.880><c> down,</c>

the<00:38:59.659><c> water</c><00:38:59.880><c> wasn't</c><00:39:00.159><c> worth</c><00:39:00.400><c> drinking.</c>

00:39:01.340 --> 00:39:04.139
So<00:39:01.500><c> you</c><00:39:01.699><c> see</c><00:39:01.900><c> both</c><00:39:02.219><c> as</c><00:39:02.719><c> shepherds</c><00:39:03.079><c> and</c><00:39:03.320><c> sheep,</c>

we<00:39:04.320><c> have</c><00:39:04.519><c> our</c><00:39:04.980><c> roles</c><00:39:05.280><c> in</c><00:39:05.599><c> life.</c>

00:39:06.920 --> 00:39:10.139
Well,<00:39:07.340><c> back</c><00:39:07.579><c> to</c><00:39:07.840><c> the</c><00:39:08.179><c> direct</c><00:39:08.500><c> story</c><00:39:08.980><c> in</c><00:39:09.280><c> John.</c>

00:39:10.159 --> 00:39:13.260
That's<00:39:10.579><c> an</c><00:39:10.780><c> exhortation</c><00:39:11.360><c> which</c><00:39:11.800><c> I've</c><00:39:12.179><c> derived</c><00:39:12.559><c> from</c><00:39:12.980><c> there</c>

00:39:13.260 --> 00:39:14.000
for<00:39:13.739><c> you</c>

and<00:39:15.719><c> I</c><00:39:15.920><c> think</c><00:39:16.039><c> is</c><00:39:16.239><c> very,</c><00:39:16.579><c> very</c><00:39:16.800><c> relevant.</c>

00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:20.199
But<00:39:18.179><c> now</c><00:39:18.480><c> let's</c><00:39:18.699><c> have</c><00:39:18.960><c> a</c><00:39:19.019><c> look</c><00:39:19.159><c> at</c><00:39:19.219><c> what</c><00:39:19.440><c> the</c><00:39:19.579><c> Lord</c><00:39:19.719><c> actually</c>

00:39:20.199 --> 00:39:21.019
says<00:39:20.619><c> here</c>

00:39:21.019 --> 00:39:23.760
because<00:39:21.699><c> he's</c><00:39:22.019><c> going</c><00:39:22.239><c> to</c><00:39:22.380><c> bring</c><00:39:22.480><c> us</c><00:39:22.699><c> to</c><00:39:22.820><c> a</c><00:39:23.000><c> section</c>

00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:25.260
which<00:39:24.280><c> two</c><00:39:24.639><c> days</c><00:39:24.960><c> ago,</c>

00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:28.099
we<00:39:25.440><c> might</c><00:39:25.659><c> have</c><00:39:25.840><c> called</c><00:39:26.219><c> one</c><00:39:26.639><c> of</c><00:39:26.719><c> those</c><00:39:26.940><c> parts</c><00:39:27.239><c> of</c><00:39:27.400><c> John's</c><00:39:27.840><c> gospel</c>

00:39:28.099 --> 00:39:30.239
where<00:39:28.300><c> we</c><00:39:28.460><c> have</c><00:39:28.619><c> some</c><00:39:28.840><c> Bible</c><00:39:29.119><c> difficulties.</c>

00:39:31.019 --> 00:39:31.900
Now,<00:39:31.199><c> never</c><00:39:31.500><c> again,</c>

00:39:32.119 --> 00:39:35.300
are<00:39:32.280><c> you</c><00:39:32.480><c> going</c><00:39:32.679><c> to</c><00:39:32.940><c> use</c><00:39:33.139><c> the</c><00:39:33.380><c> expression</c><00:39:33.780><c> Bible</c><00:39:34.179><c> difficulty.</c>

00:39:36.679 --> 00:39:38.780
I<00:39:36.960><c> say</c><00:39:37.260><c> that</c><00:39:37.820><c> somewhat</c><00:39:38.219><c> jokingly,</c>

00:39:38.840 --> 00:39:40.719
but<00:39:39.239><c> can</c><00:39:39.579><c> you</c><00:39:39.719><c> see</c><00:39:39.840><c> the</c><00:39:40.039><c> point</c><00:39:40.159><c> I'm</c><00:39:40.400><c> making?</c>

00:39:41.119 --> 00:39:43.820
God<00:39:41.380><c> did</c><00:39:41.679><c> not</c><00:39:41.900><c> put</c><00:39:42.119><c> verses</c><00:39:42.460><c> in</c><00:39:42.679><c> the</c><00:39:42.840><c> Bible</c>

00:39:44.539 --> 00:39:46.539
so<00:39:45.019><c> that</c><00:39:45.179><c> they</c><00:39:45.480><c> had</c><00:39:45.679><c> to</c><00:39:45.840><c> be</c><00:39:46.119><c> solved</c>

00:39:46.539 --> 00:39:48.880
so<00:39:46.940><c> we</c><00:39:47.119><c> can</c><00:39:47.280><c> preach</c><00:39:47.519><c> the</c><00:39:47.760><c> truth</c><00:39:47.920><c> to</c><00:39:48.139><c> others.</c>

00:39:48.920 --> 00:39:50.659
Those<00:39:49.280><c> verses</c><00:39:49.679><c> were</c><00:39:49.920><c> put</c><00:39:50.119><c> in</c><00:39:50.300><c> there</c>

00:39:50.659 --> 00:39:54.659
to<00:39:50.980><c> express</c><00:39:51.480><c> some</c><00:39:51.880><c> very,</c><00:39:52.380><c> very</c><00:39:52.800><c> beautiful</c><00:39:53.539><c> spiritual</c><00:39:54.300><c> point.</c>

00:39:55.039 --> 00:39:57.480
And<00:39:55.119><c> because</c><00:39:55.400><c> it</c><00:39:55.539><c> is</c><00:39:55.900><c> so</c><00:39:56.280><c> spiritual,</c>

00:39:58.079 --> 00:40:00.699
the<00:39:58.179><c> average</c><00:39:58.460><c> mind</c><00:39:58.679><c> of</c><00:39:58.840><c> the</c><00:39:59.000><c> flesh</c><00:39:59.119><c> doesn't</c><00:39:59.480><c> understand</c><00:39:59.980><c> it.</c>

00:40:00.920 --> 00:40:02.199
And<00:40:01.059><c> those</c><00:40:01.239><c> who</c><00:40:01.480><c> believe</c><00:40:01.679><c> the</c><00:40:01.900><c> Trinity</c>

00:40:02.199 --> 00:40:03.659
and<00:40:02.440><c> the</c><00:40:02.599><c> pre</c><00:40:02.840><c>-existence</c><00:40:03.119><c> of</c><00:40:03.320><c> Christ,</c>

00:40:04.039 --> 00:40:05.059
totally<00:40:04.239><c> misinterpret</c><00:40:04.900><c> it.</c>

00:40:05.219 --> 00:40:07.880
We're<00:40:05.519><c> going</c><00:40:05.639><c> to</c><00:40:05.820><c> come</c><00:40:06.000><c> to</c><00:40:06.179><c> perhaps</c><00:40:06.400><c> one</c><00:40:06.599><c> of</c><00:40:06.719><c> the</c><00:40:06.800><c> most</c><00:40:07.179><c> quotable</c>

00:40:07.880 --> 00:40:09.460
of<00:40:08.360><c> the</c><00:40:08.539><c> Trinitarian</c><00:40:09.019><c> quotes.</c>

00:40:09.940 --> 00:40:12.659
I<00:40:10.340><c> and</c><00:40:10.739><c> my</c><00:40:11.079><c> father</c><00:40:11.500><c> are</c><00:40:11.860><c> one.</c>

00:40:12.840 --> 00:40:14.059
But<00:40:13.059><c> look</c><00:40:13.320><c> at</c><00:40:13.460><c> the</c><00:40:13.639><c> context</c>

00:40:14.059 --> 00:40:16.860
in<00:40:14.239><c> which</c><00:40:14.440><c> it's</c><00:40:14.900><c> going</c><00:40:15.079><c> to</c><00:40:15.320><c> be</c><00:40:15.739><c> spoken</c><00:40:16.079><c> here.</c>

00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:19.239
So<00:40:17.280><c> basically</c><00:40:17.900><c> all</c><00:40:18.159><c> we</c><00:40:18.340><c> have</c><00:40:18.539><c> to</c><00:40:18.699><c> do</c><00:40:18.840><c> now</c>

00:40:19.239 --> 00:40:22.599
is<00:40:19.539><c> really</c><00:40:20.059><c> to</c><00:40:20.639><c> read</c><00:40:21.039><c> these</c><00:40:21.380><c> words.</c>

00:40:24.039 --> 00:40:28.659
We've<00:40:24.519><c> sort</c><00:40:24.719><c> of</c><00:40:24.860><c> left</c><00:40:25.139><c> it</c><00:40:25.460><c> somewhere</c><00:40:25.699><c> around</c><00:40:26.159><c> about</c><00:40:27.019><c> verse</c><00:40:27.780><c> 16.</c>

00:40:31.900 --> 00:40:33.300
Therefore,<00:40:32.199><c> says</c><00:40:32.599><c> verse</c><00:40:32.840><c> 17,</c>

00:40:33.460 --> 00:40:34.739
doth<00:40:33.579><c> my</c><00:40:33.840><c> father</c><00:40:34.079><c> love</c><00:40:34.340><c> me,</c>

00:40:34.900 --> 00:40:36.280
because<00:40:35.159><c> I</c><00:40:35.360><c> lay</c><00:40:35.539><c> down</c><00:40:35.760><c> my</c><00:40:36.039><c> life,</c>

00:40:36.340 --> 00:40:37.460
that<00:40:36.420><c> I</c><00:40:36.559><c> might</c><00:40:36.780><c> take</c><00:40:37.019><c> it</c><00:40:37.179><c> again.</c>

00:40:37.820 --> 00:40:39.119
No<00:40:38.019><c> man</c><00:40:38.300><c> taketh</c><00:40:38.599><c> it</c><00:40:38.760><c> from</c><00:40:38.940><c> me,</c>

00:40:39.119 --> 00:40:40.460
but<00:40:39.280><c> I</c><00:40:39.440><c> lay</c><00:40:39.539><c> it</c><00:40:39.719><c> down</c><00:40:39.840><c> of</c><00:40:39.980><c> myself.</c>

00:40:40.940 --> 00:40:43.940
I<00:40:41.019><c> have</c><00:40:41.280><c> authority</c><00:40:42.139><c> to</c><00:40:43.340><c> lay</c><00:40:43.539><c> it</c><00:40:43.739><c> down,</c>

00:40:43.940 --> 00:40:45.760
and<00:40:44.139><c> I</c><00:40:44.199><c> have</c><00:40:44.500><c> authority</c><00:40:44.940><c> to</c><00:40:45.179><c> take</c><00:40:45.360><c> it</c><00:40:45.559><c> again.</c>

00:40:45.980 --> 00:40:48.039
This<00:40:46.260><c> commandment</c><00:40:46.739><c> have</c><00:40:46.880><c> I</c><00:40:47.079><c> received</c><00:40:47.400><c> of</c><00:40:47.559><c> my</c><00:40:47.739><c> father.</c>

00:40:48.039 --> 00:40:49.400
I'm<00:40:48.380><c> going</c><00:40:48.579><c> to</c><00:40:48.739><c> gloss</c><00:40:48.940><c> over</c><00:40:49.179><c> that,</c>

00:40:49.460 --> 00:40:50.260
because<00:40:49.659><c> you</c><00:40:49.780><c> might</c><00:40:50.039><c> say,</c>

00:40:50.280 --> 00:40:52.360
well,<00:40:50.619><c> I'm</c><00:40:50.800><c> not</c><00:40:50.940><c> allowed</c><00:40:51.119><c> to</c><00:40:51.380><c> use</c><00:40:51.380><c> the</c><00:40:51.400><c> word</c><00:40:51.599><c> Bible</c><00:40:51.900><c> difficulty,</c>

00:40:52.440 --> 00:40:54.320
but<00:40:52.579><c> I</c><00:40:52.699><c> have</c><00:40:52.820><c> a</c><00:40:52.860><c> little</c><00:40:53.059><c> trouble</c><00:40:53.340><c> understanding</c><00:40:53.800><c> that</c><00:40:54.059><c> verse.</c>

00:40:54.519 --> 00:40:56.539
Okay,<00:40:55.380><c> that's</c><00:40:55.579><c> fine.</c>

00:40:57.440 --> 00:40:59.699
There<00:40:57.559><c> was</c><00:40:57.800><c> a</c><00:40:58.019><c> division,</c><00:40:58.320><c> therefore,</c><00:40:58.820><c> among</c><00:40:59.099><c> the</c><00:40:59.380><c> Jews.</c>

00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:03.159
So<00:41:00.280><c> remember,</c><00:41:01.360><c> Jews</c><00:41:01.659><c> always</c><00:41:02.099><c> mean</c><00:41:02.300><c> the</c><00:41:02.500><c> Jewish</c><00:41:02.780><c> rulers.</c>

00:41:03.559 --> 00:41:04.760
They<00:41:03.860><c> don't</c><00:41:04.199><c> like</c><00:41:04.500><c> him.</c>

00:41:05.099 --> 00:41:08.800
And<00:41:05.280><c> this</c><00:41:05.519><c> incident</c><00:41:05.900><c> didn't</c><00:41:06.599><c> help</c><00:41:06.860><c> to</c><00:41:07.139><c> improve</c><00:41:07.440><c> the</c><00:41:07.699><c> relationships.</c>

00:41:09.579 --> 00:41:12.139
Many<00:41:09.820><c> of</c><00:41:09.980><c> them</c><00:41:10.119><c> said,</c><00:41:10.360><c> oh,</c><00:41:10.579><c> he's</c><00:41:10.800><c> got</c><00:41:10.940><c> a</c><00:41:11.119><c> devil,</c><00:41:11.420><c> he's</c><00:41:11.760><c> mad.</c>

00:41:12.579 --> 00:41:14.079
Why<00:41:12.780><c> do</c><00:41:12.880><c> you</c><00:41:12.960><c> listen</c><00:41:13.179><c> to</c><00:41:13.340><c> him?</c>

00:41:14.420 --> 00:41:16.019
Others<00:41:14.639><c> said,</c><00:41:14.900><c> these</c><00:41:15.119><c> are</c><00:41:15.260><c> not</c><00:41:15.420><c> the</c><00:41:15.579><c> words</c><00:41:15.719><c> of</c><00:41:15.860><c> him</c>

00:41:16.019 --> 00:41:16.739
that<00:41:16.199><c> have</c><00:41:16.340><c> a</c><00:41:16.539><c> devil.</c>

00:41:16.739 --> 00:41:19.599
Can<00:41:17.320><c> a</c><00:41:17.460><c> devil</c><00:41:17.639><c> open</c><00:41:17.940><c> the</c><00:41:18.119><c> eyes</c><00:41:18.280><c> of</c><00:41:18.440><c> the</c><00:41:18.599><c> blind?</c>

00:41:20.139 --> 00:41:23.800
And<00:41:20.300><c> it</c><00:41:20.380><c> was</c><00:41:20.579><c> at</c><00:41:20.760><c> Jerusalem</c><00:41:21.840><c> of</c><00:41:23.119><c> dedication,</c>

00:41:24.119 --> 00:41:25.539
and<00:41:24.380><c> it</c><00:41:24.500><c> was</c><00:41:24.679><c> winter.</c>

00:41:26.920 --> 00:41:29.340
Is<00:41:27.179><c> John</c><00:41:27.400><c> usually</c><00:41:27.800><c> interested</c><00:41:28.239><c> in</c><00:41:28.440><c> the</c><00:41:28.639><c> weather?</c>

00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:32.320
John<00:41:30.219><c> usually</c><00:41:30.599><c> interested</c><00:41:31.059><c> as</c><00:41:31.260><c> whether</c><00:41:31.460><c> there's</c><00:41:31.900><c> grass</c>

00:41:32.320 --> 00:41:34.519
that's<00:41:32.619><c> sitting</c><00:41:32.820><c> around</c><00:41:33.400><c> that</c><00:41:33.699><c> the</c><00:41:33.860><c> people</c><00:41:34.019><c> can</c><00:41:34.239><c> sit</c><00:41:34.340><c> on?</c>

00:41:34.639 --> 00:41:36.039
Of<00:41:34.860><c> course</c><00:41:35.119><c> not.</c>

00:41:36.340 --> 00:41:38.719
So<00:41:36.760><c> he</c><00:41:37.019><c> says,</c><00:41:37.679><c> it</c><00:41:37.679><c> was</c><00:41:37.940><c> at</c><00:41:38.139><c> Jerusalem,</c>

00:41:39.019 --> 00:41:41.199
the<00:41:39.239><c> feast</c><00:41:39.400><c> of</c><00:41:39.619><c> the</c><00:41:39.739><c> dedication,</c><00:41:40.480><c> it</c><00:41:40.699><c> was</c><00:41:40.900><c> winter.</c>

00:41:41.639 --> 00:41:43.679
This<00:41:41.980><c> time</c><00:41:42.179><c> of</c><00:41:42.380><c> the</c><00:41:42.500><c> year,</c><00:41:42.679><c> the</c><00:41:42.820><c> days</c><00:41:43.000><c> were</c><00:41:43.260><c> short,</c>

00:41:43.679 --> 00:41:47.280
and<00:41:44.239><c> likewise,</c><00:41:45.199><c> spiritually,</c><00:41:46.380><c> the</c><00:41:46.420><c> light</c><00:41:46.639><c> of</c><00:41:46.820><c> the</c><00:41:46.980><c> gospel</c>

00:41:47.280 --> 00:41:49.679
did<00:41:47.559><c> not</c><00:41:47.780><c> shine</c><00:41:48.079><c> brightly</c><00:41:48.420><c> because</c><00:41:48.739><c> of</c><00:41:48.940><c> the</c><00:41:49.059><c> opposition</c><00:41:49.480><c> of</c>

00:41:49.679 --> 00:41:50.139
the<00:41:49.840><c> Jews.</c>

00:41:50.480 --> 00:41:51.739
Just<00:41:50.840><c> think</c><00:41:51.099><c> about</c><00:41:51.360><c> that.</c>

00:41:51.960 --> 00:41:54.119
When<00:41:52.079><c> John</c><00:41:52.280><c> puts</c><00:41:52.579><c> in</c><00:41:52.760><c> something</c><00:41:53.059><c> that</c><00:41:53.199><c> seems</c><00:41:53.480><c> to</c><00:41:53.579><c> be</c><00:41:53.800><c> natural,</c>

00:41:54.219 --> 00:41:56.179
you<00:41:54.340><c> say,</c><00:41:54.519><c> there</c><00:41:54.539><c> must</c><00:41:54.760><c> be</c><00:41:54.900><c> more</c><00:41:55.099><c> to</c><00:41:55.320><c> it.</c>

00:41:56.480 --> 00:41:58.159
We've<00:41:56.920><c> got</c><00:41:57.019><c> to</c><00:41:57.139><c> keep</c><00:41:57.280><c> moving.</c>

00:41:58.659 --> 00:42:01.400
Jesus<00:41:59.019><c> walked</c><00:41:59.320><c> in</c><00:41:59.500><c> the</c><00:41:59.639><c> temple</c><00:41:59.860><c> in</c><00:42:00.119><c> Solomon's</c><00:42:00.639><c> porch.</c>

00:42:01.559 --> 00:42:03.880
The<00:42:01.699><c> Jews</c><00:42:01.880><c> came</c><00:42:02.179><c> around</c><00:42:02.579><c> and</c><00:42:02.940><c> said,</c><00:42:03.480><c> look,</c>

00:42:04.260 --> 00:42:06.400
how<00:42:04.579><c> long</c><00:42:04.820><c> are</c><00:42:05.360><c> you</c><00:42:05.500><c> going</c><00:42:05.659><c> to</c><00:42:05.800><c> make</c><00:42:05.960><c> us</c><00:42:06.139><c> to</c><00:42:06.280><c> doubt?</c>

00:42:06.739 --> 00:42:09.500
If<00:42:06.960><c> you</c><00:42:07.139><c> are</c><00:42:07.219><c> the</c><00:42:07.400><c> Christ,</c><00:42:07.780><c> tell</c><00:42:08.019><c> us</c><00:42:08.400><c> plainly.</c>

00:42:11.539 --> 00:42:16.940
Jesus<00:42:12.019><c> answered,</c><00:42:13.119><c> I</c><00:42:13.360><c> told</c><00:42:13.739><c> you,</c><00:42:14.860><c> and</c><00:42:15.079><c> you</c><00:42:15.159><c> didn't</c><00:42:15.400><c> believe</c><00:42:15.739><c> me.</c>

00:42:17.320 --> 00:42:20.579
The<00:42:17.460><c> works</c><00:42:17.760><c> that</c><00:42:17.980><c> I</c><00:42:18.119><c> do</c><00:42:18.219><c> in</c><00:42:18.340><c> my</c><00:42:18.800><c> Father's</c><00:42:19.480><c> name,</c>

00:42:20.619 --> 00:42:21.780
they<00:42:21.000><c> bear</c><00:42:21.139><c> witness</c><00:42:21.460><c> of</c><00:42:21.659><c> me.</c>

00:42:21.800 --> 00:42:22.860
Now<00:42:21.960><c> stop</c><00:42:22.159><c> there</c><00:42:22.360><c> for</c><00:42:22.500><c> a</c><00:42:22.559><c> moment.</c>

00:42:23.360 --> 00:42:25.139
Jesus<00:42:23.719><c> has</c><00:42:24.000><c> said</c><00:42:24.119><c> that</c><00:42:24.260><c> he</c><00:42:24.360><c> was</c><00:42:24.559><c> the</c><00:42:24.639><c> good</c><00:42:24.860><c> shepherd,</c>

00:42:25.300 --> 00:42:27.360
but<00:42:25.420><c> really,</c><00:42:25.780><c> God</c><00:42:25.960><c> is</c><00:42:26.199><c> the</c><00:42:26.320><c> good</c><00:42:26.519><c> shepherd.</c>

00:42:28.059 --> 00:42:32.400
Psalm<00:42:28.539><c> 23</c><00:42:29.019><c> says,</c><00:42:29.639><c> Yahweh</c><00:42:30.219><c> is</c><00:42:31.260><c> my</c><00:42:31.480><c> shepherd.</c>

00:42:33.000 --> 00:42:35.659
So<00:42:33.179><c> the</c><00:42:33.340><c> Father</c><00:42:33.699><c> himself</c><00:42:34.139><c> is</c><00:42:34.340><c> really</c><00:42:34.619><c> the</c><00:42:34.820><c> shepherd.</c>

00:42:35.840 --> 00:42:38.920
But<00:42:36.039><c> the</c><00:42:36.239><c> Father</c><00:42:36.579><c> doesn't</c><00:42:36.960><c> come</c><00:42:37.239><c> down</c><00:42:37.500><c> to</c><00:42:37.659><c> the</c><00:42:37.860><c> earth</c><00:42:38.079><c> and</c><00:42:38.260><c> do</c><00:42:38.440><c> it.</c>

00:42:38.920 --> 00:42:41.519
He<00:42:39.239><c> sent</c><00:42:39.519><c> on</c><00:42:39.699><c> this</c><00:42:39.920><c> occasion</c><00:42:40.320><c> his</c><00:42:40.579><c> son.</c>

00:42:41.880 --> 00:42:45.960
So<00:42:42.000><c> the</c><00:42:42.159><c> son</c><00:42:42.460><c> is</c><00:42:42.780><c> the</c><00:42:42.920><c> good</c><00:42:43.179><c> shepherd</c><00:42:43.579><c> acting</c><00:42:44.139><c> on</c><00:42:44.320><c> his</c><00:42:44.559><c> Father's</c><00:42:45.019><c> behalf.</c>

00:42:46.639 --> 00:42:50.519
So<00:42:46.679><c> he</c><00:42:46.860><c> says,</c><00:42:48.519><c> I</c><00:42:48.519><c> told</c><00:42:48.840><c> you,</c><00:42:49.039><c> and</c><00:42:49.159><c> you</c><00:42:49.400><c> believed</c><00:42:49.619><c> not.</c>

00:42:50.619 --> 00:42:52.760
The<00:42:50.780><c> works</c><00:42:51.099><c> that</c><00:42:51.340><c> I</c><00:42:51.519><c> do</c><00:42:51.659><c> in</c><00:42:51.820><c> my</c><00:42:52.119><c> Father's</c><00:42:52.619><c> name,</c>

00:42:54.619 --> 00:42:57.000
Verse<00:42:54.860><c> 26,</c><00:42:55.900><c> but</c><00:42:56.079><c> you</c><00:42:56.360><c> believe</c><00:42:56.699><c> not,</c>

00:42:57.239 --> 00:42:58.840
because<00:42:57.519><c> you</c><00:42:57.900><c> are</c><00:42:58.019><c> not</c><00:42:58.159><c> of</c><00:42:58.340><c> my</c><00:42:58.559><c> sheep.</c>

00:42:59.300 --> 00:43:01.900

00:43:04.460 --> 00:43:06.360
And<00:43:04.699><c> I</c><00:43:04.900><c> give</c><00:43:05.079><c> unto</c><00:43:05.280><c> them</c><00:43:05.539><c> eternal</c><00:43:05.960><c> life,</c>

00:44:19.340 --> 00:44:21.119
and<00:44:19.519><c> I'm</c><00:44:19.739><c> also</c><00:44:20.059><c> the</c><00:44:20.300><c> shepherd.</c>

00:44:21.360 --> 00:44:22.940
And<00:44:21.519><c> I</c><00:44:21.739><c> go</c><00:44:21.940><c> in</c><00:44:22.199><c> and</c><00:44:22.320><c> out</c><00:44:22.480><c> that</c><00:44:22.719><c> door,</c>

00:44:23.039 --> 00:44:25.340
and<00:44:23.219><c> I</c><00:44:23.380><c> put</c><00:44:23.519><c> people</c><00:44:23.880><c> in</c><00:44:24.059><c> there</c><00:44:24.340><c> for</c><00:44:24.780><c> protection,</c>

00:44:25.780 --> 00:44:29.000
and<00:44:26.000><c> when</c><00:44:26.300><c> I</c><00:44:26.880><c> cast</c><00:44:27.239><c> them</c><00:44:27.440><c> out,</c><00:44:27.679><c> I</c><00:44:27.900><c> go</c><00:44:28.139><c> before</c><00:44:28.500><c> them,</c>

00:44:29.000 --> 00:44:32.679
and<00:44:29.460><c> I</c><00:44:29.619><c> feed</c><00:44:30.179><c> them,</c><00:44:30.800><c> because</c><00:44:31.059><c> I'm</c><00:44:31.400><c> the</c><00:44:31.500><c> good</c><00:44:31.760><c> shepherd.</c>

00:44:32.840 --> 00:44:35.260
I<00:44:33.139><c> know</c><00:44:33.460><c> it's</c><00:44:33.719><c> my</c><00:44:33.980><c> Father</c><00:44:34.320><c> that's</c><00:44:34.619><c> the</c><00:44:34.719><c> good</c><00:44:34.920><c> shepherd,</c>

00:44:35.679 --> 00:44:37.920
and<00:44:35.860><c> nobody</c><00:44:36.159><c> can</c><00:44:36.480><c> pluck</c><00:44:36.579><c> them</c><00:44:36.739><c> out</c><00:44:36.900><c> of</c><00:44:37.019><c> my</c><00:44:37.199><c> Father's</c><00:44:37.699><c> hand,</c>

00:44:38.159 --> 00:44:39.659
but<00:44:38.219><c> I'm</c><00:44:38.460><c> acting</c><00:44:38.739><c> on</c><00:44:38.920><c> his</c><00:44:39.239><c> behalf,</c>

00:44:39.920 --> 00:44:42.579
so<00:44:40.159><c> nobody</c><00:44:40.579><c> can</c><00:44:40.840><c> pluck</c><00:44:40.960><c> them</c><00:44:41.199><c> out</c><00:44:42.019><c> of</c><00:44:42.139><c> my</c><00:44:42.340><c> hand.</c>

00:44:42.800 --> 00:44:45.639
And<00:44:43.019><c> all</c><00:44:43.380><c> that</c><00:44:43.559><c> the</c><00:44:43.739><c> Father</c><00:44:43.980><c> has</c><00:44:44.280><c> given</c><00:44:44.480><c> me,</c><00:44:44.800><c> I</c><00:44:44.940><c> will</c><00:44:45.139><c> preserve,</c>

00:44:45.860 --> 00:44:49.320
because<00:44:46.400><c> I</c><00:44:47.000><c> and</c><00:44:47.380><c> my</c><00:44:47.800><c> Father</c><00:44:48.139><c> are</c><00:44:48.480><c> one.</c>

00:44:51.500 --> 00:44:53.260
So<00:44:52.019><c> next</c><00:44:52.260><c> time</c><00:44:52.519><c> someone</c><00:44:52.880><c> says,</c>

00:44:53.420 --> 00:44:54.360
don't<00:44:53.559><c> you</c><00:44:53.679><c> believe</c><00:44:53.920><c> the</c><00:44:54.099><c> Trinity?</c>

00:44:54.659 --> 00:44:57.019
Well,<00:44:54.820><c> how</c><00:44:54.940><c> do</c><00:44:55.079><c> you</c><00:44:55.239><c> explain</c><00:44:55.480><c> John</c><00:44:55.760><c> 10</c><00:44:56.059><c>.30?</c>

00:44:57.619 --> 00:44:59.900
Well,<00:44:58.119><c> at</c><00:44:58.239><c> the</c><00:44:58.400><c> very</c><00:44:58.780><c> least,</c><00:44:59.199><c> you're</c><00:44:59.320><c> going</c><00:44:59.480><c> to</c><00:44:59.699><c> say,</c>

00:45:00.039 --> 00:45:03.280
well,<00:45:00.280><c> let's</c><00:45:00.579><c> go</c><00:45:00.800><c> back</c><00:45:00.980><c> to</c><00:45:01.159><c> the</c><00:45:01.219><c> beginning</c><00:45:01.539><c> of</c><00:45:01.699><c> John</c><00:45:01.940><c> chapter</c><00:45:02.280><c> 10,</c>

00:45:04.239 --> 00:45:05.179
and<00:45:04.579><c> then</c><00:45:04.739><c> you're</c><00:45:04.880><c> going</c><00:45:04.940><c> to</c><00:45:05.000><c> say,</c>

00:45:05.219 --> 00:45:06.340
well,<00:45:05.360><c> I</c><00:45:05.460><c> don't</c><00:45:05.619><c> think</c><00:45:05.699><c> that's</c><00:45:06.079><c> far</c><00:45:06.239><c> enough.</c>

00:45:06.400 --> 00:45:07.739
I<00:45:06.460><c> think</c><00:45:06.619><c> we've</c><00:45:06.840><c> got</c><00:45:06.840><c> to</c><00:45:06.960><c> go</c><00:45:07.079><c> back</c><00:45:07.260><c> further,</c>

00:45:08.059 --> 00:45:09.679
and<00:45:08.280><c> you'll</c><00:45:08.440><c> end</c><00:45:08.579><c> up</c><00:45:08.760><c> giving</c><00:45:09.260><c> something</c>

00:45:09.679 --> 00:45:11.800
like<00:45:10.280><c> the</c><00:45:10.539><c> three</c><00:45:10.699><c> addresses</c><00:45:10.960><c> I</c><00:45:11.239><c> gave</c><00:45:11.400><c> yesterday.</c>

00:45:12.059 --> 00:45:13.380
Can<00:45:12.380><c> you</c><00:45:12.539><c> see</c><00:45:12.699><c> the</c><00:45:13.139><c> point?</c>

00:45:13.659 --> 00:45:15.780
We<00:45:13.840><c> say</c><00:45:14.059><c> it</c><00:45:14.639><c> slightly</c><00:45:15.079><c> lightheartedly,</c>

00:45:15.820 --> 00:45:18.219
but<00:45:16.099><c> actually</c><00:45:16.460><c> very,</c><00:45:16.800><c> very</c><00:45:17.159><c> seriously.</c>

00:45:18.500 --> 00:45:20.019
To<00:45:18.739><c> understand</c><00:45:19.300><c> John's</c><00:45:19.820><c> Gospel,</c>

00:45:20.059 --> 00:45:22.159
we've<00:45:20.320><c> got</c><00:45:20.400><c> to</c><00:45:20.539><c> keep</c><00:45:20.699><c> reading</c><00:45:21.059><c> and</c><00:45:21.300><c> reading</c><00:45:21.639><c> and</c><00:45:21.860><c> reading</c>

00:45:22.159 --> 00:45:23.980
and<00:45:22.380><c> reading</c><00:45:22.659><c> and</c><00:45:22.820><c> reading</c><00:45:23.079><c> it.</c>

00:45:24.300 --> 00:45:26.500
I<00:45:24.739><c> certainly</c><00:45:25.099><c> don't</c><00:45:25.599><c> deprecate</c><00:45:26.159><c> the</c><00:45:26.340><c> use</c><00:45:26.500><c> of</c><00:45:26.500><c> the</c><00:45:26.500><c> word</c>

00:45:26.500 --> 00:45:28.539
of<00:45:27.059><c> concordances,</c><00:45:27.820><c> not</c><00:45:28.059><c> at</c><00:45:28.300><c> all.</c>

00:45:28.780 --> 00:45:30.679
But<00:45:28.940><c> of</c><00:45:29.219><c> all</c><00:45:29.440><c> the</c><00:45:29.659><c> writings</c><00:45:30.000><c> in</c><00:45:30.219><c> the</c><00:45:30.360><c> Bible,</c>

00:45:31.039 --> 00:45:34.739
probably<00:45:31.500><c> you</c><00:45:31.679><c> can</c><00:45:31.920><c> get</c><00:45:32.119><c> away</c><00:45:32.340><c> with</c><00:45:32.619><c> understanding</c><00:45:33.139><c> John</c>

00:45:35.119 --> 00:45:37.280
more<00:45:35.599><c> easily</c><00:45:36.079><c> than</c><00:45:36.559><c> most</c><00:45:36.920><c> others</c>

00:45:37.280 --> 00:45:39.179
without<00:45:37.780><c> the</c><00:45:38.059><c> use</c><00:45:38.260><c> of</c><00:45:38.440><c> a</c><00:45:38.639><c> concordance.</c>

00:45:39.579 --> 00:45:41.840
That<00:45:39.679><c> was</c><00:45:39.860><c> a</c><00:45:39.960><c> rather</c><00:45:40.199><c> convoluted</c><00:45:40.880><c> sentence.</c>

00:45:42.000 --> 00:45:43.880
What<00:45:42.179><c> I'm</c><00:45:42.340><c> trying</c><00:45:42.579><c> to</c><00:45:42.800><c> say</c><00:45:42.980><c> is,</c>

00:45:44.019 --> 00:45:45.599
John<00:45:44.260><c> would</c><00:45:44.480><c> be</c><00:45:44.639><c> regarded</c><00:45:45.000><c> by</c><00:45:45.239><c> many</c>

00:45:45.599 --> 00:45:47.340
as<00:45:45.840><c> one</c><00:45:46.019><c> of</c><00:45:46.119><c> the</c><00:45:46.239><c> most</c><00:45:46.420><c> difficult</c><00:45:46.780><c> books,</c>

00:45:47.820 --> 00:45:49.159
and<00:45:48.000><c> yet</c><00:45:48.099><c> it's</c><00:45:48.280><c> one</c><00:45:48.480><c> of</c><00:45:48.599><c> the</c><00:45:48.880><c> easiest</c>

00:45:49.159 --> 00:45:51.059
if<00:45:49.360><c> you</c><00:45:49.500><c> just</c><00:45:49.639><c> keep</c><00:45:49.800><c> reading</c><00:45:50.139><c> and</c><00:45:50.340><c> reading</c><00:45:50.639><c> and</c><00:45:50.800><c> reading</c>

00:45:51.059 --> 00:45:53.599
and<00:45:51.199><c> reading</c><00:45:51.460><c> it</c><00:45:51.900><c> and</c><00:45:52.000><c> get</c><00:45:52.219><c> the</c><00:45:52.440><c> mind</c><00:45:52.599><c> of</c><00:45:52.739><c> the</c><00:45:52.860><c> Lord.</c>

00:45:53.679 --> 00:45:57.179
So<00:45:53.940><c> I</c><00:45:54.460><c> and</c><00:45:54.960><c> my</c><00:45:55.380><c> Father</c><00:45:55.880><c> are</c><00:45:56.260><c> one.</c>

00:45:57.219 --> 00:45:59.820
You<00:45:57.300><c> know,</c><00:45:58.139><c> it</c><00:45:58.340><c> goes</c><00:45:58.619><c> on</c><00:45:58.900><c> further.</c>

00:46:00.340 --> 00:46:03.400
So<00:46:00.440><c> the</c><00:46:00.619><c> Jews</c><00:46:00.840><c> took</c><00:46:01.139><c> up</c><00:46:01.460><c> stones</c><00:46:01.699><c> to</c><00:46:01.980><c> stone</c><00:46:02.199><c> him,</c><00:46:02.519><c> says</c><00:46:02.599><c> verse</c><00:46:02.880><c> 31.</c>

00:46:03.840 --> 00:46:04.719
Jesus<00:46:04.059><c> answered</c><00:46:04.460><c> them,</c>

00:46:04.860 --> 00:46:07.400
many<00:46:05.139><c> good</c><00:46:05.400><c> works</c><00:46:05.659><c> have</c><00:46:05.840><c> I</c><00:46:06.039><c> showed</c><00:46:06.219><c> you</c><00:46:06.619><c> from</c><00:46:06.860><c> my</c><00:46:07.099><c> Father.</c>

00:46:07.579 --> 00:46:10.039
For<00:46:07.739><c> which</c><00:46:07.980><c> of</c><00:46:08.079><c> these</c><00:46:08.300><c> works</c><00:46:08.539><c> do</c><00:46:08.719><c> you</c><00:46:08.900><c> stone</c><00:46:09.159><c> me?</c>

00:46:10.599 --> 00:46:11.920
The<00:46:10.900><c> Jews</c><00:46:11.119><c> answered,</c><00:46:11.760><c> saying,</c>

00:46:11.960 --> 00:46:13.539
for<00:46:12.139><c> a</c><00:46:12.300><c> good</c><00:46:12.500><c> work</c><00:46:12.659><c> we</c><00:46:12.900><c> stone</c><00:46:13.099><c> thee</c><00:46:13.300><c> not,</c>

00:46:13.820 --> 00:46:16.679
but<00:46:13.940><c> for</c><00:46:14.159><c> blasphemy,</c><00:46:15.239><c> and</c><00:46:15.239><c> because</c><00:46:15.619><c> thou</c><00:46:15.920><c> being</c><00:46:16.159><c> a</c><00:46:16.360><c> man,</c>

makest<00:46:17.199><c> thyself</c><00:46:17.840><c> God.</c>

00:46:20.139 --> 00:46:22.719
You<00:46:20.599><c> see,</c><00:46:20.739><c> they</c><00:46:20.880><c> didn't</c><00:46:21.159><c> understand</c><00:46:21.619><c> he</c><00:46:21.780><c> was</c><00:46:22.059><c> God,</c>

00:46:25.480 --> 00:46:26.519
Well,<00:46:25.619><c> what</c><00:46:25.699><c> does</c><00:46:25.900><c> the</c><00:46:26.019><c> Lord</c><00:46:26.199><c> say?</c>

00:46:26.760 --> 00:46:28.519
Does<00:46:26.920><c> the</c><00:46:27.079><c> Lord</c><00:46:27.239><c> say,</c><00:46:27.440><c> now</c><00:46:27.559><c> here's</c><00:46:27.719><c> a</c><00:46:27.860><c> classic</c><00:46:28.119><c> example.</c>

00:46:28.639 --> 00:46:31.159
Does<00:46:28.719><c> the</c><00:46:28.900><c> Lord</c><00:46:29.000><c> say,</c><00:46:29.400><c> look,</c><00:46:29.739><c> you've</c><00:46:30.079><c> misunderstood</c><00:46:30.659><c> me.</c>

00:46:31.380 --> 00:46:33.800
I<00:46:31.539><c> never</c><00:46:31.820><c> actually</c><00:46:32.260><c> said</c><00:46:32.500><c> I</c><00:46:32.619><c> was</c><00:46:32.880><c> God.</c>

00:46:34.099 --> 00:46:35.500
Well,<00:46:34.280><c> I</c><00:46:34.380><c> said</c><00:46:34.480><c> I</c><00:46:34.539><c> was</c><00:46:34.760><c> the</c><00:46:34.920><c> son</c><00:46:35.059><c> of</c><00:46:35.280><c> God.</c>

00:46:35.699 --> 00:46:37.920
I<00:46:35.920><c> spoke</c><00:46:36.179><c> of</c><00:46:36.360><c> God</c><00:46:36.579><c> as</c><00:46:36.800><c> my</c><00:46:37.000><c> Father.</c>

00:46:38.519 --> 00:46:40.039
Is<00:46:38.800><c> the</c><00:46:39.000><c> Lord</c><00:46:39.159><c> going</c><00:46:39.420><c> to</c><00:46:39.579><c> do</c><00:46:39.739><c> that?</c>

00:46:40.380 --> 00:46:41.679
Did<00:46:40.519><c> he</c><00:46:40.679><c> ever</c><00:46:40.880><c> do</c><00:46:41.019><c> that</c><00:46:41.260><c> before?</c>

00:46:42.079 --> 00:46:43.719
For<00:46:42.219><c> those</c><00:46:42.460><c> who</c><00:46:42.619><c> weren't</c><00:46:42.780><c> here</c><00:46:43.219><c> yesterday,</c>

00:46:44.099 --> 00:46:46.239
we've<00:46:44.400><c> seen</c><00:46:44.500><c> many</c><00:46:44.780><c> examples</c><00:46:45.300><c> of</c><00:46:45.519><c> where</c><00:46:45.659><c> the</c><00:46:45.820><c> Lord</c><00:46:46.000><c> says,</c>

00:46:46.400 --> 00:46:47.760
you're<00:46:46.679><c> having</c><00:46:46.719><c> difficulty?</c>

Well,<00:46:48.300><c> try</c><00:46:48.619><c> this,</c><00:46:49.079><c> and</c><00:46:49.239><c> he</c><00:46:49.320><c> makes</c><00:46:49.519><c> it</c><00:46:49.760><c> harder.</c>

00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:53.059
Not<00:46:51.079><c> to</c><00:46:51.400><c> confuse</c><00:46:51.800><c> them,</c><00:46:52.019><c> but</c><00:46:52.179><c> to</c><00:46:52.500><c> challenge</c><00:46:52.840><c> them</c>

00:46:53.059 --> 00:46:54.820

00:46:55.260 --> 00:46:57.639
And<00:46:55.320><c> of</c><00:46:55.460><c> course,</c><00:46:55.760><c> our</c><00:46:55.860><c> classic</c><00:46:56.199><c> example</c><00:46:56.659><c> was</c><00:46:56.920><c> Nicodemus,</c>

00:46:58.099 --> 00:47:00.980
who<00:46:58.219><c> got</c><00:46:58.500><c> treated</c><00:46:58.780><c> probably</c><00:46:59.260><c> more</c><00:46:59.579><c> roughly,</c><00:47:00.059><c> we</c><00:47:00.099><c> might</c><00:47:00.340><c> say.</c>

00:47:01.440 --> 00:47:03.000
Please<00:47:01.920><c> excuse</c><00:47:02.280><c> the</c><00:47:02.480><c> expression,</c>

00:47:03.380 --> 00:47:05.500
but<00:47:03.699><c> he</c><00:47:03.980><c> got</c><00:47:04.360><c> pretty</c><00:47:04.780><c> hard</c><00:47:05.019><c> treatment,</c>

00:47:05.920 --> 00:47:07.519
and<00:47:06.000><c> yet</c><00:47:06.099><c> he</c><00:47:06.219><c> was</c><00:47:06.380><c> the</c><00:47:06.559><c> first</c><00:47:06.880><c> one</c><00:47:07.079><c> to</c><00:47:07.199><c> be</c><00:47:07.320><c> there</c>

00:47:07.519 --> 00:47:09.280

00:47:09.820 --> 00:47:13.159
So,<00:47:11.059><c> does</c><00:47:11.239><c> he</c><00:47:11.460><c> say,</c><00:47:12.280><c> I</c><00:47:12.440><c> never</c><00:47:12.699><c> said</c><00:47:12.920><c> that?</c>

00:47:13.280 --> 00:47:14.699
You've<00:47:13.599><c> mistaken</c><00:47:14.219><c> me?</c>

00:47:15.199 --> 00:47:17.579
He<00:47:15.440><c> says,</c><00:47:16.159><c> verse</c><00:47:16.400><c> 34,</c>

00:47:17.760 --> 00:47:22.360

00:47:22.400 --> 00:47:24.340
I<00:47:22.659><c> said,</c><00:47:22.960><c> you</c><00:47:23.079><c> are</c><00:47:23.219><c> God's?</c>

00:47:26.420 --> 00:47:29.539
God<00:47:26.900><c> had</c><00:47:27.199><c> said</c><00:47:27.519><c> to</c><00:47:28.139><c> the</c><00:47:28.260><c> leaders</c><00:47:28.519><c> of</c><00:47:28.719><c> the</c><00:47:28.860><c> children</c><00:47:29.099><c> of</c><00:47:29.260><c> Israel,</c>

you<00:47:30.119><c> are</c><00:47:30.619><c> Elohim,</c><00:47:32.500><c> you</c><00:47:32.659><c> are</c><00:47:32.860><c> mighty</c><00:47:33.119><c> ones.</c>

00:47:35.440 --> 00:47:37.980
If<00:47:35.679><c> he</c><00:47:36.019><c> called</c><00:47:36.280><c> them,</c><00:47:36.659><c> and</c><00:47:36.920><c> I'll</c><00:47:37.079><c> use</c><00:47:37.280><c> the</c><00:47:37.440><c> word</c><00:47:37.579><c> Elohim,</c>

00:47:38.079 --> 00:47:39.420
it's<00:47:38.239><c> not</c><00:47:38.420><c> of</c><00:47:38.619><c> course</c><00:47:38.780><c> here</c><00:47:39.000><c> in</c><00:47:39.139><c> the</c><00:47:39.300><c> Greek,</c>

00:47:39.460 --> 00:47:40.900

00:47:41.199 --> 00:47:43.400
if<00:47:41.400><c> he</c><00:47:41.760><c> called</c><00:47:41.940><c> them</c><00:47:42.179><c> mighty</c><00:47:42.579><c> ones,</c>

00:47:46.579 --> 00:47:49.420
and<00:47:47.159><c> the</c><00:47:47.239><c> scripture</c><00:47:47.659><c> cannot</c><00:47:47.980><c> be</c><00:47:48.260><c> broken,</c>

00:47:49.659 --> 00:47:52.280
say<00:47:49.960><c> ye</c><00:47:50.219><c> of</c><00:47:50.380><c> him</c><00:47:50.679><c> whom</c><00:47:50.920><c> the</c><00:47:51.119><c> Father</c><00:47:51.400><c> hath</c><00:47:51.659><c> sanctified</c>

00:47:52.280 --> 00:47:55.679
and<00:47:52.460><c> sent</c><00:47:52.679><c> into</c><00:47:52.840><c> the</c><00:47:53.059><c> world,</c><00:47:53.920><c> thou</c><00:47:54.260><c> blasphemest,</c>

00:47:55.719 --> 00:47:58.840
because<00:47:55.980><c> I</c><00:47:56.280><c> said,</c><00:47:57.059><c> I</c><00:47:57.320><c> am</c><00:47:57.460><c> the</c><00:47:57.619><c> Son</c><00:47:57.760><c> of</c><00:47:57.900><c> God,</c>

00:47:59.239 --> 00:48:02.239

00:48:02.719 --> 00:48:05.940
But<00:48:02.780><c> if</c><00:48:02.980><c> I</c><00:48:03.199><c> do,</c><00:48:04.119><c> though</c><00:48:04.400><c> ye</c><00:48:04.719><c> believe</c><00:48:05.000><c> not</c><00:48:05.340><c> me,</c>

00:48:06.420 --> 00:48:09.960
believe<00:48:06.940><c> the</c><00:48:07.139><c> works</c><00:48:07.639><c> that</c><00:48:08.219><c> you</c><00:48:08.500><c> may</c><00:48:08.760><c> know</c><00:48:09.059><c> and</c><00:48:09.360><c> believe</c>

00:48:09.960 --> 00:48:14.360
that<00:48:10.380><c> the</c><00:48:10.599><c> Father</c><00:48:10.980><c> is</c><00:48:11.440><c> in</c><00:48:11.639><c> me,</c><00:48:12.440><c> and</c><00:48:12.719><c> I</c><00:48:13.139><c> in</c><00:48:13.420><c> him.</c>

00:48:14.860 --> 00:48:16.760
Therefore<00:48:15.340><c> they</c><00:48:15.579><c> sought</c><00:48:15.820><c> again</c><00:48:16.079><c> to</c><00:48:16.219><c> take</c><00:48:16.460><c> him,</c>

00:48:16.800 --> 00:48:19.079
but<00:48:16.920><c> he</c><00:48:17.119><c> escaped</c><00:48:17.400><c> out</c><00:48:17.659><c> of</c><00:48:17.699><c> their</c><00:48:17.940><c> hand.</c>

00:48:21.460 --> 00:48:25.860
Well,<00:48:23.639><c> that's</c><00:48:23.920><c> the</c><00:48:24.119><c> situation</c><00:48:24.800><c> that</c><00:48:25.260><c> came</c><00:48:25.420><c> about</c>

00:48:25.860 --> 00:48:30.860
as<00:48:26.099><c> a</c><00:48:26.219><c> result</c><00:48:26.579><c> of</c><00:48:26.960><c> the</c><00:48:27.960><c> work</c><00:48:28.159><c> of</c><00:48:28.780><c> the</c><00:48:29.340><c> healing</c><00:48:29.500><c> of</c><00:48:29.719><c> the</c><00:48:29.800><c> blind</c><00:48:29.980><c> man.</c>

00:48:30.960 --> 00:48:32.480
Now<00:48:31.139><c> in</c><00:48:31.260><c> the</c><00:48:31.400><c> few</c><00:48:31.519><c> minutes</c><00:48:31.760><c> I've</c><00:48:32.019><c> got</c><00:48:32.260><c> left,</c>

00:48:32.519 --> 00:48:34.139
I<00:48:32.599><c> want</c><00:48:32.780><c> to</c><00:48:32.900><c> put</c><00:48:33.059><c> back</c><00:48:33.280><c> a</c><00:48:33.539><c> transparency</c>

00:48:34.139 --> 00:48:37.420
that<00:48:34.380><c> we</c><00:48:34.639><c> used</c><00:48:35.159><c> in</c><00:48:35.820><c> study</c><00:48:36.079><c> one</c><00:48:36.300><c> yesterday,</c>

00:48:37.699 --> 00:48:39.940

00:48:41.000 --> 00:48:42.940
First<00:48:41.239><c> of</c><00:48:41.380><c> all,</c><00:48:41.679><c> yesterday's</c><00:48:42.019><c> was</c><00:48:42.139><c> black</c><00:48:42.380><c> and</c><00:48:42.579><c> white,</c>

00:48:45.679 --> 00:48:48.019
