00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:21.780

Brother<00:00:27.420><c> Nathan.</c>

00:00:35.299 --> 00:00:37.479
Well,<00:00:35.579><c> good</c><00:00:35.840><c> morning,</c><00:00:36.340><c> everybody.</c>

00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:40.200
How<00:00:38.520><c> are</c><00:00:38.820><c> we</c><00:00:39.039><c> all?</c>

00:00:40.659 --> 00:00:42.840
We<00:00:41.020><c> sleep</c><00:00:41.619><c> well.</c>

00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:47.679
Actually,<00:00:45.200><c> I</c><00:00:45.380><c> slept</c><00:00:45.520><c> pretty</c><00:00:45.759><c> good</c><00:00:45.920><c> last</c><00:00:46.259><c> night,</c>

00:00:48.259 --> 00:00:50.979
considering<00:00:48.600><c> the</c><00:00:49.159><c> first</c><00:00:49.479><c> night</c><00:00:49.700><c> in</c><00:00:49.920><c> a</c><00:00:50.060><c> new</c><00:00:50.280><c> place</c><00:00:50.460><c> is</c><00:00:50.679><c> always</c>

00:00:50.979 --> 00:00:52.460
a<00:00:51.079><c> bit</c><00:00:51.820><c> dodgy.</c>

00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:53.539
I<00:00:52.759><c> think</c><00:00:52.880><c> I</c><00:00:52.939><c> did</c><00:00:53.060><c> pretty</c><00:00:53.340><c> well.</c>

00:00:53.539 --> 00:00:56.420
So<00:00:53.700><c> hopefully,</c><00:00:54.340><c> the</c><00:00:54.460><c> rest</c><00:00:54.659><c> of</c><00:00:54.799><c> the</c><00:00:54.880><c> week</c><00:00:55.000><c> is</c><00:00:55.200><c> onwards</c><00:00:55.399><c> and</c><00:00:55.619><c> upwards.</c>

00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:00.320
So<00:00:58.340><c> it's</c><00:00:58.539><c> the</c><00:00:58.539><c> third</c><00:00:58.719><c> time</c><00:00:58.920><c> lucky</c><00:00:59.159><c> for</c><00:00:59.320><c> me</c><00:00:59.439><c> to</c><00:00:59.560><c> be</c><00:00:59.719><c> here.</c>

00:01:00.740 --> 00:01:05.920
As<00:01:00.899><c> you</c><00:01:01.079><c> all</c><00:01:01.280><c> know,</c><00:01:02.700><c> painful</c><00:01:02.920><c> experience</c><00:01:03.600><c> of</c><00:01:04.280><c> having</c><00:01:04.719><c> a</c><00:01:04.980><c> kid</c>

00:01:06.299 --> 00:01:08.359
and<00:01:06.739><c> then</c><00:01:07.019><c> breaking</c><00:01:07.280><c> a</c><00:01:07.519><c> leg.</c>

00:01:08.939 --> 00:01:13.000
Now<00:01:09.060><c> we're</c><00:01:09.299><c> here,</c><00:01:09.560><c> so</c><00:01:09.780><c> it's</c><00:01:11.219><c> good</c><00:01:11.359><c> to</c><00:01:11.560><c> share</c><00:01:11.659><c> the</c><00:01:11.819><c> week</c><00:01:12.040><c> together.</c>

00:01:13.700 --> 00:01:15.900
And<00:01:13.700><c> hopefully,</c><00:01:14.379><c> we</c><00:01:14.480><c> can</c><00:01:14.599><c> have</c><00:01:14.700><c> some</c><00:01:14.920><c> fun</c><00:01:15.120><c> times</c><00:01:15.379><c> and</c><00:01:15.620><c> learn</c><00:01:15.760><c> a</c>

00:01:15.900 --> 00:01:16.980
few<00:01:16.000><c> things.</c>

00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:19.620
This<00:01:18.120><c> morning,</c><00:01:18.359><c> as</c><00:01:18.540><c> you</c><00:01:18.599><c> can</c><00:01:18.859><c> see,</c><00:01:19.459><c> we're</c>

00:01:19.620 --> 00:01:22.799
going<00:01:19.680><c> to</c><00:01:19.760><c> be</c><00:01:19.920><c> looking</c><00:01:20.099><c> at</c><00:01:20.879><c> Paul</c><00:01:21.140><c> as</c><00:01:21.379><c> a</c><00:01:21.540><c> type</c><00:01:21.680><c> of</c><00:01:21.959><c> Christ.</c>

00:01:22.849 --> 00:01:25.659
And<00:01:23.079><c> I'm</c><00:01:23.459><c> not</c><00:01:23.640><c> actually</c><00:01:23.939><c> sure</c><00:01:24.239><c> whether</c><00:01:25.120><c> all</c><00:01:25.439><c> of</c><00:01:25.560><c> you</c>

00:01:25.659 --> 00:01:28.560
know<00:01:25.859><c> how</c><00:01:26.079><c> we've</c><00:01:26.439><c> broken</c><00:01:26.599><c> up</c><00:01:26.980><c> the</c><00:01:27.739><c> topic.</c>

00:01:28.900 --> 00:01:30.939
We<00:01:29.060><c> are</c><00:01:29.280><c> going</c><00:01:29.400><c> to</c><00:01:29.560><c> do</c><00:01:29.640><c> it</c><00:01:29.859><c> chronologically.</c>

00:01:31.060 --> 00:01:36.739
So<00:01:31.219><c> we</c><00:01:31.319><c> are</c><00:01:31.500><c> going</c><00:01:31.620><c> to</c><00:01:31.760><c> go</c><00:01:31.980><c> through</c><00:01:32.239><c> the</c><00:01:33.480><c> story</c><00:01:33.980><c> of</c><00:01:35.379><c> Saul,</c><00:01:35.980><c> his</c><00:01:36.299><c> conversion,</c>

00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:39.900
and<00:01:36.980><c> then,</c><00:01:37.579><c> obviously,</c><00:01:38.099><c> the</c><00:01:38.140><c> rest</c><00:01:38.340><c> of</c><00:01:38.519><c> the</c><00:01:38.659><c> life</c><00:01:38.780><c> of</c><00:01:38.980><c> Paul.</c>

00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:45.459
But<00:01:41.140><c> because</c><00:01:41.599><c> Richard</c><00:01:41.900><c> and</c><00:01:42.099><c> I</c><00:01:42.200><c> are</c><00:01:42.379><c> doing</c><00:01:42.700><c> a</c><00:01:43.239><c> session</c><00:01:43.680><c> for</c><00:01:44.939><c> you</c><00:01:45.219><c> folks</c>

00:01:45.459 --> 00:01:49.140
and<00:01:45.659><c> for</c><00:01:45.819><c> the</c><00:01:46.000><c> teens,</c><00:01:47.140><c> we</c><00:01:47.379><c> have</c><00:01:47.519><c> to</c><00:01:47.640><c> have</c><00:01:47.760><c> one</c><00:01:48.079><c> floating</c><00:01:48.519><c> session,</c><00:01:48.939><c> which</c>

00:01:49.140 --> 00:01:51.780
is<00:01:49.280><c> going</c><00:01:49.480><c> to</c><00:01:49.659><c> be</c><00:01:50.099><c> right</c><00:01:50.799><c> at</c><00:01:50.939><c> the</c><00:01:51.280><c> start,</c><00:01:51.579><c> which</c>

00:01:51.780 --> 00:01:52.939
is<00:01:52.000><c> this</c><00:01:52.159><c> one</c><00:01:52.340><c> this</c><00:01:52.620><c> morning.</c>

00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:54.680
And<00:01:53.519><c> I'm</c><00:01:53.659><c> going</c><00:01:53.700><c> to</c><00:01:53.780><c> do</c><00:01:53.840><c> the</c><00:01:54.019><c> same</c><00:01:54.200><c> one</c><00:01:54.420><c> right</c>

00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:55.939
at<00:01:54.840><c> the</c><00:01:55.060><c> end</c><00:01:55.239><c> for</c><00:01:55.439><c> the</c><00:01:55.640><c> teenagers.</c>

00:01:56.019 --> 00:01:59.260
So<00:01:56.200><c> it's</c><00:01:56.379><c> got</c><00:01:56.439><c> to</c><00:01:56.560><c> be</c><00:01:56.739><c> something</c><00:01:57.260><c> that</c><00:01:57.560><c> I</c><00:01:57.760><c> can</c><00:01:58.000><c> just</c><00:01:58.540><c> shove</c><00:01:58.760><c> somewhere,</c>

00:01:59.260 --> 00:02:00.340
and<00:01:59.500><c> it</c><00:01:59.599><c> will</c><00:01:59.799><c> still</c><00:02:00.099><c> fit.</c>

00:02:00.420 --> 00:02:03.159
So<00:02:00.620><c> that's</c><00:02:01.560><c> really</c><00:02:01.560><c> our</c><00:02:01.840><c> session</c><00:02:02.060><c> this</c><00:02:02.379><c> morning.</c>

00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:05.859
But<00:02:03.719><c> I</c><00:02:03.859><c> think</c><00:02:03.939><c> it's</c><00:02:04.120><c> going</c><00:02:04.200><c> to</c><00:02:04.319><c> be</c><00:02:04.780><c> an</c><00:02:05.079><c> excellent</c><00:02:05.359><c> introduction,</c>

00:02:05.859 --> 00:02:09.400
actually,<00:02:06.219><c> to</c><00:02:06.439><c> the</c><00:02:06.640><c> life</c><00:02:06.939><c> of</c><00:02:07.799><c> the</c><00:02:08.060><c> apostle</c><00:02:08.379><c> Paul.</c>

00:02:10.060 --> 00:02:13.219
And<00:02:10.419><c> we</c><00:02:10.539><c> get</c><00:02:10.639><c> to</c><00:02:10.800><c> spend</c><00:02:10.900><c> the</c><00:02:11.060><c> whole</c><00:02:11.280><c> week</c><00:02:11.659><c> looking</c><00:02:11.960><c> at</c><00:02:12.919><c> this</c>

00:02:13.219 --> 00:02:14.039
amazing<00:02:13.819><c> man.</c>

00:02:14.139 --> 00:02:17.360
It's<00:02:14.379><c> not</c><00:02:14.539><c> often,</c><00:02:14.759><c> is</c><00:02:14.919><c> it,</c><00:02:15.060><c> that</c><00:02:15.240><c> we</c><00:02:15.400><c> go</c><00:02:15.620><c> to</c><00:02:15.900><c> a</c><00:02:16.060><c> Bible</c><00:02:16.539><c> camp</c><00:02:16.939><c> or</c><00:02:17.139><c> anything</c>

00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:19.500
and<00:02:17.479><c> we</c><00:02:17.620><c> get</c><00:02:17.819><c> 10</c><00:02:18.460><c> sessions.</c>

00:02:19.740 --> 00:02:20.039
I<00:02:19.879><c> don't</c><00:02:19.979><c> know.</c>

00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:21.680
When<00:02:20.180><c> was</c><00:02:20.360><c> the</c><00:02:20.460><c> last</c><00:02:20.620><c> time</c><00:02:20.740><c> you</c><00:02:20.800><c> went</c><00:02:20.960><c> to</c><00:02:21.139><c> a</c><00:02:21.240><c> Bible</c><00:02:21.460><c> school</c>

00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:23.719
and<00:02:21.819><c> you</c><00:02:21.979><c> had</c><00:02:22.219><c> 10</c><00:02:22.580><c> talks</c><00:02:22.860><c> on</c><00:02:23.020><c> the</c><00:02:23.199><c> same</c><00:02:23.379><c> subject?</c>

00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:27.460
Usually<00:02:24.419><c> you</c><00:02:24.580><c> might</c><00:02:24.819><c> get</c><00:02:25.360><c> six,</c><00:02:26.419><c> seven,</c><00:02:27.060><c> maybe.</c>

00:02:27.659 --> 00:02:28.740
So<00:02:27.860><c> we've</c><00:02:28.280><c> got</c><00:02:28.379><c> 10.</c>

00:02:28.780 --> 00:02:29.639

00:02:42.219 --> 00:02:45.120
We're<00:02:42.360><c> not</c><00:02:42.479><c> going</c><00:02:42.639><c> to</c><00:02:42.740><c> go</c><00:02:42.900><c> through</c><00:02:43.080><c> every</c><00:02:43.379><c> verse,</c><00:02:44.620><c> especially</c>

for<00:02:45.360><c> me.</c>

00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:49.199
I<00:02:45.599><c> just</c><00:02:45.800><c> want</c><00:02:45.979><c> to</c><00:02:47.280><c> pick</c><00:02:47.460><c> out</c><00:02:47.879><c> one</c><00:02:48.060><c> or</c><00:02:48.159><c> two</c><00:02:48.500><c> stories</c><00:02:48.879><c> or</c><00:02:49.099><c> a</c>

00:02:54.819 --> 00:02:57.280
and<00:02:55.159><c> just</c><00:02:55.360><c> see</c><00:02:55.740><c> if</c><00:02:55.840><c> we</c><00:02:55.979><c> can</c><00:02:56.139><c> draw</c><00:02:56.280><c> out</c><00:02:56.460><c> some</c><00:02:56.659><c> really</c><00:02:56.879><c> good</c><00:02:57.020><c> lessons,</c>

00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:59.560
some<00:02:57.520><c> things</c><00:02:57.639><c> that</c><00:02:57.819><c> we</c><00:02:58.400><c> don't</c><00:02:58.680><c> know</c><00:02:58.960><c> or</c><00:02:59.020><c> maybe</c><00:02:59.240><c> we</c><00:02:59.439><c> haven't</c>

seen<00:02:59.759><c> before.</c>

00:03:00.300 --> 00:03:02.180
So<00:03:00.379><c> hopefully</c><00:03:00.599><c> we'll</c><00:03:00.780><c> all</c><00:03:00.939><c> enjoy</c><00:03:01.219><c> that.</c>

00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:04.319
Probably<00:03:02.580><c> most</c><00:03:02.819><c> of</c><00:03:02.960><c> you</c><00:03:03.039><c> have</c><00:03:03.219><c> worked</c><00:03:03.400><c> through</c><00:03:03.580><c> the</c><00:03:03.819><c> workbook</c>

00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:07.979

00:03:08.620 --> 00:03:11.759
So<00:03:08.639><c> going</c><00:03:09.259><c> through</c><00:03:09.500><c> it</c><00:03:09.659><c> all</c><00:03:10.000><c> laboriously,</c><00:03:10.659><c> verse</c><00:03:10.800><c> by</c><00:03:11.000><c> verse,</c>

00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:12.900
is<00:03:11.900><c> probably</c><00:03:12.199><c> not</c><00:03:12.379><c> what</c><00:03:12.520><c> we're</c><00:03:12.780><c> after.</c>

00:03:12.900 --> 00:03:15.180
We<00:03:13.000><c> want</c><00:03:13.139><c> to</c><00:03:13.280><c> just</c><00:03:13.599><c> pick</c><00:03:13.699><c> out</c><00:03:13.879><c> a</c><00:03:14.020><c> few</c><00:03:14.159><c> highlights</c><00:03:14.580><c> and</c><00:03:14.800><c> find</c><00:03:15.000><c> a</c>

few<00:03:15.360><c> gems.</c>

00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:17.919
So<00:03:15.840><c> that's</c><00:03:15.939><c> what</c><00:03:16.060><c> we're</c><00:03:16.159><c> going</c><00:03:16.219><c> to</c><00:03:16.340><c> try</c><00:03:16.479><c> and</c><00:03:16.620><c> do</c><00:03:16.840><c> this</c><00:03:17.120><c> week.</c>

00:03:18.979 --> 00:03:22.400
Well,<00:03:19.080><c> you</c><00:03:19.199><c> know</c><00:03:19.379><c> the</c><00:03:19.939><c> apostle</c><00:03:20.400><c> Paul</c><00:03:20.780><c> was</c><00:03:21.280><c> a</c><00:03:21.659><c> towering,</c>

00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:26.219
I<00:03:24.879><c> think</c><00:03:25.039><c> it</c><00:03:25.120><c> would</c><00:03:25.219><c> be</c><00:03:25.439><c> fair</c><00:03:25.500><c> to</c><00:03:25.719><c> say,</c><00:03:25.939><c> wouldn't</c><00:03:26.080><c> it,</c>

How<00:04:19.360><c> many</c><00:04:19.579><c> years</c><00:04:19.819><c> do</c><00:04:19.959><c> you</c><00:04:19.980><c> think</c><00:04:20.120><c> that</c><00:04:20.319><c> might</c><00:04:20.500><c> be</c><00:04:21.040><c> in</c><00:04:21.439><c> actual</c><00:04:21.720><c> time?</c>

00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:30.959
Well,<00:04:29.540><c> that's</c><00:04:29.800><c> pretty</c><00:04:30.040><c> close.</c>

00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:33.980
I<00:04:31.160><c> think</c><00:04:31.360><c> that</c><00:04:31.680><c> the</c><00:04:32.319><c> apostle</c><00:04:32.660><c> Paul</c><00:04:32.939><c> was</c><00:04:33.220><c> probably</c><00:04:33.540><c> converted</c>

00:13:59.460 --> 00:14:01.580
This<00:13:59.639><c> is</c><00:13:59.720><c> what</c><00:13:59.840><c> he</c><00:13:59.980><c> did,</c><00:14:00.379><c> brothers</c><00:14:00.480><c> and</c><00:14:00.700><c> sisters.</c>

00:14:48.820 --> 00:14:54.019
And<00:14:49.179><c> if</c><00:14:49.299><c> you</c><00:14:49.460><c> thought</c><00:14:49.539><c> that</c><00:14:49.700><c> was</c><00:14:49.919><c> bad,</c><00:14:51.379><c> it</c><00:14:52.700><c> got</c><00:14:52.899><c> worse.</c>

00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:59.940
Because<00:14:55.279><c> we</c><00:14:55.500><c> read</c><00:14:55.659><c> in</c><00:14:55.799><c> Acts</c><00:14:55.960><c> chapter</c><00:14:56.320><c> eight</c><00:14:58.159><c> and</c><00:14:58.539><c> verse</c><00:14:58.899><c> one,</c>

00:15:26.700 --> 00:15:30.299
Now<00:15:27.000><c> he's</c><00:15:27.360><c> obsessed</c><00:15:27.960><c> with</c><00:15:28.720><c> stamping</c><00:15:29.059><c> out</c><00:15:29.580><c> the</c><00:15:29.860><c> Christians</c>

00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:43.600
And<00:15:41.200><c> I</c><00:15:41.299><c> think</c><00:15:41.480><c> that</c><00:15:41.759><c> verse</c><00:15:42.159><c> one</c><00:15:42.779><c> of</c><00:15:43.019><c> chapter</c><00:15:43.299><c> eight,</c>

00:31:59.380 --> 00:32:01.720

that<00:32:05.819><c> which</c><00:32:05.980><c> I</c><00:32:06.200><c> also</c><00:32:06.460><c> received,</c>

00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:10.180
how<00:32:07.180><c> that</c><00:32:07.440><c> Christ</c><00:32:07.819><c> died</c><00:32:08.220><c> for</c><00:32:08.480><c> our</c><00:32:08.759><c> sins</c><00:32:09.019><c> according</c><00:32:09.359><c> to</c><00:32:09.579><c> the</c><00:32:09.759><c> scripture,</c>

according<00:32:15.559><c> to</c><00:32:15.759><c> the</c><00:32:15.940><c> scriptures,</c>

00:32:18.079 --> 00:32:23.059

00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:26.400
after<00:32:23.859><c> that</c><00:32:24.099><c> he</c><00:32:24.200><c> was</c><00:32:24.500><c> seen</c><00:32:24.660><c> above</c><00:32:25.019><c> 500</c><00:32:25.579><c> brethren</c><00:32:25.920><c> at</c><00:32:26.160><c> once,</c>

00:32:26.519 --> 00:32:28.460
of<00:32:26.640><c> whom</c><00:32:26.759><c> the</c><00:32:27.000><c> greater</c><00:32:27.160><c> part</c><00:32:27.440><c> remain</c><00:32:27.799><c> unto</c><00:32:27.980><c> this</c><00:32:28.240><c> present,</c>

but<00:32:28.680><c> some</c><00:32:28.880><c> have</c><00:32:29.059><c> fallen</c><00:32:29.200><c> asleep.</c>

00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:33.740
After<00:32:30.500><c> that</c><00:32:30.680><c> he</c><00:32:30.779><c> was</c><00:32:30.960><c> seen</c><00:32:31.099><c> of</c><00:32:31.359><c> James,</c><00:32:31.799><c> then</c><00:32:31.940><c> of</c><00:32:32.180><c> all</c><00:32:32.579><c> the</c><00:32:32.779><c> apostles,</c>

00:32:34.359 --> 00:32:41.119
and<00:32:34.900><c> last</c><00:32:35.440><c> of</c><00:32:36.740><c> all,</c><00:32:38.599><c> he</c><00:32:38.759><c> was</c><00:32:39.099><c> seen</c><00:32:39.259><c> of</c><00:32:39.500><c> me</c><00:32:39.779><c> also,</c>

00:32:42.200 --> 00:32:48.019
as<00:32:42.880><c> of</c><00:32:43.559><c> one</c><00:32:44.440><c> born</c><00:32:45.460><c> out</c><00:32:46.380><c> of</c><00:32:46.680><c> due</c><00:32:46.940><c> time.</c>

00:32:48.779 --> 00:32:51.660
Now<00:32:49.140><c> that's</c><00:32:49.900><c> an</c><00:32:50.119><c> astonishing</c><00:32:50.519><c> expression.</c>

00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:54.240
And<00:32:52.420><c> if</c><00:32:52.500><c> you've</c><00:32:52.680><c> got</c><00:32:52.819><c> a</c><00:32:53.099><c> margin</c><00:32:53.440><c> like</c><00:32:53.779><c> mine,</c>

00:32:54.619 --> 00:32:55.700
do<00:32:54.740><c> you</c><00:32:54.740><c> know</c><00:32:54.819><c> what</c><00:32:54.880><c> it</c><00:32:55.079><c> says</c><00:32:55.160><c> in</c><00:32:55.319><c> the</c><00:32:55.480><c> margin?</c>

00:32:55.839 --> 00:33:00.079
It<00:32:55.920><c> says</c><00:32:56.160><c> literally</c><00:32:56.660><c> that</c><00:32:56.880><c> that</c><00:32:57.119><c> means</c><00:32:57.579><c> he</c><00:32:58.480><c> appeared</c><00:32:58.819><c> to</c><00:32:59.099><c> me</c>

00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:03.640
like<00:33:00.880><c> an</c><00:33:01.420><c> aborted</c><00:33:02.180><c> child.</c>

00:33:04.460 --> 00:33:07.460
It's<00:33:05.140><c> a</c><00:33:05.259><c> strange</c><00:33:05.460><c> expression,</c><00:33:05.960><c> isn't</c><00:33:06.079><c> it,</c><00:33:06.259><c> to</c><00:33:06.519><c> choose?</c>

00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:14.299
It's<00:33:08.359><c> like</c><00:33:08.859><c> the</c><00:33:09.339><c> Apostle</c><00:33:09.779><c> Paul</c><00:33:10.640><c> miscarried</c><00:33:12.220><c> in</c><00:33:13.119><c> the</c><00:33:13.380><c> womb.</c>

00:33:15.339 --> 00:33:17.140
What<00:33:15.579><c> do</c><00:33:15.779><c> you</c><00:33:15.799><c> think</c><00:33:15.900><c> the</c><00:33:16.099><c> Apostle</c><00:33:16.400><c> Paul</c><00:33:16.759><c> meant</c>

00:33:17.140 --> 00:33:20.720
by<00:33:17.960><c> that</c><00:33:18.500><c> very,</c><00:33:18.859><c> very</c><00:33:19.319><c> strange</c><00:33:19.619><c> expression?</c>

00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:24.759
He<00:33:21.920><c> appeared</c><00:33:22.200><c> to</c><00:33:22.400><c> me</c><00:33:22.519><c> like</c><00:33:22.759><c> an</c><00:33:23.099><c> aborted</c><00:33:23.640><c> child.</c>

00:33:26.180 --> 00:33:27.920
Well,<00:33:26.440><c> here's</c><00:33:26.740><c> my</c><00:33:26.920><c> suggestion.</c>

00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:31.940
My<00:33:28.980><c> suggestion</c><00:33:29.400><c> is</c><00:33:30.000><c> that</c><00:33:30.519><c> Saul</c><00:33:30.759><c> of</c><00:33:31.039><c> Tarsus</c>

00:33:31.940 --> 00:33:36.359
knew<00:33:32.839><c> our</c><00:33:33.380><c> Lord</c><00:33:33.539><c> Jesus</c><00:33:34.000><c> Christ</c><00:33:34.700><c> all</c><00:33:35.299><c> along.</c>

00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:41.279
In<00:33:37.460><c> fact,</c><00:33:37.599><c> he</c><00:33:37.920><c> recognised</c><00:33:38.519><c> him</c><00:33:39.099><c> when</c><00:33:39.960><c> Christ</c><00:33:40.519><c> appeared</c><00:33:40.980><c> to</c><00:33:41.180><c> him</c>

00:33:41.279 --> 00:33:42.579
on<00:33:41.440><c> the</c><00:33:41.559><c> road</c><00:33:41.700><c> to</c><00:33:41.920><c> Damascus.</c>

00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:45.839
He<00:33:43.200><c> knew</c><00:33:43.480><c> that</c><00:33:43.640><c> that</c><00:33:43.779><c> was</c><00:33:44.019><c> Christ</c><00:33:44.279><c> because</c><00:33:44.519><c> he</c><00:33:44.680><c> knew</c><00:33:44.859><c> him.</c>

00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:49.200
He<00:33:46.400><c> had</c><00:33:46.640><c> talked</c><00:33:46.839><c> and</c><00:33:47.160><c> debated</c><00:33:47.460><c> with</c><00:33:47.700><c> him</c><00:33:47.779><c> in</c><00:33:47.920><c> the</c><00:33:48.099><c> temple</c>

00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:53.119
while<00:33:50.680><c> Christ</c><00:33:51.059><c> was</c><00:33:51.559><c> still</c><00:33:51.920><c> alive.</c>

00:33:53.619 --> 00:33:56.140
He'd<00:33:53.980><c> argued</c><00:33:54.420><c> with</c><00:33:55.000><c> our</c><00:33:55.200><c> Lord</c><00:33:55.359><c> Jesus</c><00:33:55.680><c> Christ.</c>

00:33:56.319 --> 00:33:59.279
He'd<00:33:56.720><c> crossed</c><00:33:56.980><c> swords</c><00:33:57.500><c> with</c><00:33:57.819><c> Christ</c><00:33:58.299><c> in</c><00:33:58.720><c> the</c><00:33:58.940><c> temple,</c>

00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:02.380
disputing<00:34:00.200><c> over</c><00:34:00.480><c> matters</c><00:34:00.859><c> of</c><00:34:01.220><c> the</c><00:34:01.440><c> Scriptures.</c>

00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:05.240
And<00:34:03.319><c> so</c><00:34:03.539><c> Acts</c><00:34:03.839><c> chapter</c><00:34:04.160><c> nine,</c>

00:34:05.440 --> 00:34:09.500
well,<00:34:05.660><c> it</c><00:34:05.819><c> wasn't</c><00:34:06.140><c> really</c><00:34:07.319><c> Saul's</c><00:34:08.119><c> first</c><00:34:08.380><c> encounter</c><00:34:08.880><c> with</c><00:34:09.119><c> Christ,</c>

00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:10.300
was<00:34:09.760><c> it?</c>

00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:12.320
He<00:34:10.960><c> already</c><00:34:11.599><c> knew</c><00:34:12.079><c> him.</c>

00:34:12.380 --> 00:34:14.199
They<00:34:12.539><c> knew</c><00:34:12.719><c> each</c><00:34:12.920><c> other</c><00:34:13.119><c> well.</c>

00:34:14.739 --> 00:34:19.199
Paul<00:34:15.059><c> knew</c><00:34:15.360><c> Christ</c><00:34:16.139><c> and</c><00:34:17.159><c> Christ</c><00:34:17.719><c> knew</c><00:34:18.099><c> Paul.</c>

00:34:19.500 --> 00:34:21.320
And<00:34:19.739><c> I'm</c><00:34:20.260><c> gonna</c><00:34:20.340><c> suggest</c><00:34:20.659><c> three</c><00:34:21.000><c> reasons</c>

00:34:21.320 --> 00:34:23.679
for<00:34:21.559><c> why</c><00:34:21.719><c> that,</c><00:34:22.119><c> I</c><00:34:22.119><c> think,</c><00:34:22.340><c> must</c><00:34:22.519><c> be</c><00:34:22.760><c> so.</c>

00:34:24.260 --> 00:34:27.440
First<00:34:24.500><c> of</c><00:34:24.719><c> all,</c><00:34:26.219><c> it</c><00:34:26.380><c> seems</c><00:34:26.639><c> likely,</c><00:34:27.059><c> doesn't</c><00:34:27.239><c> it,</c>

00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:30.239

00:34:34.980 --> 00:34:37.320
And<00:34:35.219><c> we</c><00:34:35.360><c> know</c><00:34:35.739><c> that</c><00:34:36.239><c> Saul</c><00:34:36.500><c> of</c><00:34:36.780><c> Tarsus</c>

00:34:58.880 --> 00:35:00.400
It's<00:34:59.360><c> almost</c><00:34:59.739><c> certain,</c><00:35:00.079><c> isn't</c><00:35:00.260><c> it,</c>

The<00:35:04.300><c> second</c><00:35:04.460><c> reason</c><00:35:04.900><c> that</c><00:35:05.239><c> I</c><00:35:05.440><c> suggest</c><00:35:05.679><c> this</c><00:35:05.880><c> is</c><00:35:06.159><c> so</c>

00:35:06.519 --> 00:35:08.980

00:35:25.619 --> 00:35:29.539
Wherefore,<00:35:26.760><c> henceforth</c><00:35:27.139><c> know</c><00:35:27.420><c> we</c><00:35:27.619><c> no</c><00:35:27.860><c> man</c><00:35:28.219><c> after</c><00:35:28.639><c> the</c><00:35:29.000><c> flesh,</c>

00:35:29.980 --> 00:35:36.699
yea,<00:35:31.619><c> though</c><00:35:32.239><c> we</c><00:35:33.199><c> have</c><00:35:33.460><c> known</c><00:35:33.820><c> Christ</c><00:35:34.579><c> after</c><00:35:35.139><c> the</c><00:35:35.500><c> flesh,</c>

yet<00:35:37.239><c> now</c><00:35:37.559><c> henceforth</c><00:35:38.260><c> know</c><00:35:38.599><c> we</c><00:35:38.780><c> him</c><00:35:38.940><c> no</c><00:35:39.179><c> more.</c>

00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:41.579
So<00:35:40.380><c> see</c><00:35:40.460><c> what</c><00:35:40.619><c> the</c><00:35:40.780><c> apostle</c><00:35:41.019><c> Paul's</c><00:35:41.579><c> saying.</c>

00:35:41.860 --> 00:35:44.820
He's<00:35:42.179><c> saying,</c><00:35:42.659><c> we,</c><00:35:43.400><c> including</c><00:35:43.679><c> me,</c>

00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:47.860
we<00:35:45.519><c> knew</c><00:35:45.760><c> Christ</c><00:35:46.440><c> after</c><00:35:47.260><c> the</c><00:35:47.579><c> flesh,</c>

00:35:47.980 --> 00:35:50.639
that<00:35:48.159><c> is,</c><00:35:48.800><c> before</c><00:35:49.099><c> he</c><00:35:49.440><c> died</c><00:35:49.760><c> and</c><00:35:49.960><c> was</c><00:35:50.219><c> resurrected.</c>

00:35:50.719 --> 00:35:52.519
Now<00:35:51.019><c> we</c><00:35:51.119><c> don't</c><00:35:51.340><c> know</c><00:35:51.480><c> him</c><00:35:51.639><c> like</c><00:35:51.920><c> that,</c>

00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:56.400
because<00:35:52.880><c> he's</c><00:35:53.800><c> a</c><00:35:53.820><c> resurrected</c><00:35:54.480><c> and</c><00:35:55.139><c> ascended</c><00:35:55.739><c> man.</c>

00:35:56.719 --> 00:36:00.019
But<00:35:57.039><c> we</c><00:35:57.239><c> did</c><00:35:57.480><c> know</c><00:35:57.639><c> him</c><00:35:58.059><c> after</c><00:35:58.539><c> the</c><00:35:58.860><c> flesh,</c>

00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:04.920
so<00:36:00.460><c> was</c><00:36:00.699><c> there,</c><00:36:01.860><c> meeting</c><00:36:02.219><c> with</c><00:36:02.599><c> Christ</c><00:36:03.099><c> in</c><00:36:03.599><c> the</c><00:36:04.019><c> temple.</c>

00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:09.099
And<00:36:06.820><c> lastly,</c><00:36:07.179><c> the</c><00:36:07.360><c> third</c><00:36:07.539><c> reason</c><00:36:07.820><c> why</c><00:36:08.039><c> I</c><00:36:08.219><c> suggest</c><00:36:08.420><c> this</c><00:36:08.659><c> is</c><00:36:08.860><c> so</c>

00:36:09.099 --> 00:36:13.820
is<00:36:09.579><c> the</c><00:36:09.960><c> qualifications</c><00:36:10.639><c> that</c><00:36:10.940><c> were</c><00:36:11.260><c> necessary</c><00:36:11.960><c> for</c><00:36:12.639><c> an</c><00:36:12.940><c> apostle.</c>

00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:16.760
You<00:36:14.019><c> remember</c><00:36:14.340><c> in</c><00:36:14.599><c> Acts</c><00:36:14.900><c> chapter</c><00:36:15.239><c> one</c><00:36:16.039><c> that</c><00:36:16.300><c> it</c><00:36:16.539><c> says,</c>

00:36:17.059 --> 00:36:18.320
in<00:36:17.239><c> order</c><00:36:17.480><c> to</c><00:36:17.619><c> be</c><00:36:17.780><c> an</c><00:36:17.960><c> apostle,</c>

00:36:18.519 --> 00:36:20.280
you<00:36:18.760><c> had</c><00:36:18.940><c> to</c><00:36:19.119><c> have</c><00:36:19.239><c> done</c><00:36:19.360><c> a</c><00:36:19.539><c> couple</c><00:36:19.699><c> of</c><00:36:19.940><c> things.</c>

00:36:20.280 --> 00:36:23.420
You<00:36:20.360><c> had</c><00:36:20.920><c> to</c><00:36:21.139><c> have,</c><00:36:21.539><c> what</c><00:36:23.079><c> were</c><00:36:23.300><c> they?</c>

00:36:23.539 --> 00:36:25.340
You<00:36:23.599><c> had</c><00:36:23.760><c> to</c><00:36:23.900><c> have</c><00:36:24.099><c> been</c><00:36:24.360><c> around</c><00:36:24.760><c> Christ</c>

00:36:25.340 --> 00:36:31.139
from<00:36:25.940><c> the</c><00:36:26.199><c> time</c><00:36:26.420><c> of</c><00:36:26.780><c> his</c><00:36:27.019><c> baptism</c><00:36:27.519><c> with</c><00:36:28.239><c> John</c><00:36:28.719><c> to</c><00:36:29.460><c> his</c><00:36:29.780><c> ascension.</c>

00:36:31.739 --> 00:36:35.300
And<00:36:32.300><c> you</c><00:36:32.579><c> had</c><00:36:32.699><c> to</c><00:36:32.880><c> be</c><00:36:33.119><c> a</c><00:36:33.219><c> witness</c><00:36:33.599><c> of</c><00:36:33.980><c> his</c><00:36:34.260><c> resurrection.</c>

00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:39.579
Now<00:36:36.079><c> was</c><00:36:36.480><c> the</c><00:36:36.679><c> apostle</c><00:36:36.940><c> Paul</c><00:36:37.340><c> a</c><00:36:37.579><c> witness</c><00:36:37.840><c> of</c><00:36:38.260><c> Christ's</c><00:36:38.820><c> resurrection?</c>

00:36:42.019 --> 00:36:43.260
Was<00:36:42.239><c> he?</c>

00:36:46.099 --> 00:36:49.619
Exactly,<00:36:46.880><c> he</c><00:36:47.059><c> just</c><00:36:47.340><c> appeared</c><00:36:47.699><c> to</c><00:36:47.900><c> him</c><00:36:47.980><c> on</c><00:36:48.179><c> the</c><00:36:48.360><c> road</c><00:36:48.719><c> to</c><00:36:49.000><c> Damascus.</c>

00:36:49.619 --> 00:36:53.139
He<00:36:50.179><c> has</c><00:36:50.599><c> witnessed</c><00:36:51.139><c> the</c><00:36:51.820><c> resurrected</c><00:36:52.440><c> Christ.</c>

00:36:53.380 --> 00:36:54.940
So<00:36:53.539><c> is</c><00:36:53.699><c> he</c><00:36:53.820><c> a</c><00:36:53.900><c> witness</c><00:36:54.159><c> to</c><00:36:54.360><c> Christ's</c><00:36:54.639><c> resurrection?</c>

00:36:55.320 --> 00:36:56.380
Absolutely.

00:36:56.860 --> 00:37:00.920
He<00:36:56.980><c> appeared</c><00:36:57.360><c> unto</c><00:36:57.639><c> me</c><00:36:57.880><c> also</c><00:36:58.199><c> as</c><00:36:58.380><c> one</c><00:36:58.920><c> born</c><00:36:59.260><c> out</c><00:36:59.500><c> of</c><00:36:59.659><c> due</c><00:36:59.880><c> time.</c>

00:37:00.980 --> 00:37:03.719
So<00:37:01.239><c> was</c><00:37:01.619><c> the</c><00:37:01.820><c> apostle</c><00:37:02.099><c> Paul</c><00:37:02.559><c> with</c><00:37:03.260><c> Christ</c>

00:37:10.800 --> 00:37:12.940
Well,<00:37:11.559><c> let's</c><00:37:11.780><c> put</c><00:37:11.880><c> it</c><00:37:11.980><c> this</c><00:37:12.199><c> way.</c>

00:37:13.260 --> 00:37:15.659
If<00:37:13.519><c> those</c><00:37:13.780><c> were</c><00:37:13.940><c> the</c><00:37:14.139><c> two</c><00:37:14.480><c> criteria,</c>

00:37:15.579 --> 00:37:21.000
and<00:37:15.840><c> we</c><00:37:16.159><c> know</c><00:37:16.880><c> that</c><00:37:17.920><c> Paul</c><00:37:18.280><c> was</c><00:37:18.780><c> undoubtedly</c><00:37:19.699><c> an</c><00:37:20.039><c> apostle,</c>

00:37:21.619 --> 00:37:22.739
undoubtedly<00:37:22.139><c> an</c><00:37:22.480><c> apostle,</c>

00:37:22.820 --> 00:37:24.860

00:37:25.159 --> 00:37:29.199
I<00:37:25.380><c> was</c><00:37:25.579><c> an</c><00:37:25.800><c> apostle</c><00:37:26.099><c> chosen</c><00:37:26.760><c> by</c><00:37:27.320><c> Jesus</c><00:37:27.739><c> Christ</c><00:37:28.059><c> himself.</c>

00:37:29.380 --> 00:37:31.480
He's<00:37:29.739><c> undoubtedly</c><00:37:30.239><c> an</c><00:37:30.500><c> apostle.</c>

00:37:31.860 --> 00:37:33.280
Then<00:37:32.039><c> we'd</c><00:37:32.260><c> have</c><00:37:32.380><c> to</c><00:37:32.619><c> say,</c><00:37:32.900><c> wouldn't</c><00:37:33.059><c> we,</c>

00:37:33.320 --> 00:37:35.880
that<00:37:33.480><c> he</c><00:37:33.659><c> must</c><00:37:33.920><c> have</c><00:37:34.159><c> met</c><00:37:34.300><c> that</c><00:37:34.579><c> other</c><00:37:34.780><c> criteria,</c>

00:37:36.139 --> 00:37:37.840
that<00:37:36.300><c> to</c><00:37:36.559><c> a</c><00:37:36.639><c> certain</c><00:37:36.800><c> extent,</c>

00:37:38.039 --> 00:37:41.199
he'd<00:37:38.300><c> been</c><00:37:38.460><c> around</c><00:37:38.840><c> Christ</c><00:37:39.340><c> from</c><00:37:39.639><c> the</c><00:37:39.840><c> time</c><00:37:39.980><c> of</c><00:37:40.099><c> his</c><00:37:40.300><c> baptism</c>

00:37:41.280 --> 00:37:43.219
to<00:37:41.539><c> the</c><00:37:41.760><c> time</c><00:37:41.900><c> of</c><00:37:42.059><c> his</c><00:37:42.260><c> ascension.</c>

00:37:43.159 --> 00:37:45.119
That<00:37:43.400><c> would</c><00:37:43.559><c> be</c><00:37:43.760><c> true</c><00:37:43.900><c> and</c><00:37:44.119><c> fair</c><00:37:44.219><c> to</c><00:37:44.440><c> say,</c><00:37:44.679><c> wouldn't</c><00:37:44.760><c> it?</c>

00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:48.460
If<00:37:45.659><c> he's</c><00:37:45.840><c> an</c><00:37:46.000><c> apostle,</c><00:37:47.219><c> he's</c><00:37:47.519><c> gotta</c><00:37:47.599><c> be</c><00:37:47.820><c> around</c><00:37:48.059><c> Christ</c>

00:37:48.460 --> 00:37:50.800
and<00:37:48.820><c> be</c><00:37:49.079><c> a</c><00:37:49.199><c> witness</c><00:37:49.400><c> of</c><00:37:49.679><c> the</c><00:37:49.880><c> resurrected</c><00:37:50.280><c> Christ.</c>

00:37:50.940 --> 00:37:52.480
He's<00:37:51.119><c> certainly</c><00:37:51.360><c> done</c><00:37:51.539><c> the</c><00:37:51.800><c> second</c><00:37:52.079><c> one.</c>

00:37:52.739 --> 00:37:55.860
Well,<00:37:52.880><c> he</c><00:37:52.940><c> must</c><00:37:53.139><c> have</c><00:37:53.280><c> done</c><00:37:53.400><c> the</c><00:37:53.639><c> first</c><00:37:53.880><c> if</c><00:37:54.039><c> he</c><00:37:54.599><c> was</c><00:37:54.780><c> an</c><00:37:54.960><c> apostle.</c>

00:37:56.320 --> 00:37:57.420
So<00:37:56.500><c> it's</c><00:37:56.820><c> likely,</c><00:37:57.159><c> isn't</c><00:37:57.280><c> it,</c>

00:37:57.440 --> 00:38:02.340
that<00:37:57.719><c> Saul</c><00:37:58.119><c> of</c><00:37:58.460><c> Tarsus</c><00:37:58.980><c> already</c><00:38:00.260><c> knew</c><00:38:00.920><c> our</c><00:38:01.239><c> Lord</c><00:38:01.400><c> Jesus</c><00:38:01.780><c> Christ</c>

00:38:02.340 --> 00:38:04.800

00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:06.940
He<00:38:05.019><c> was</c><00:38:05.260><c> there</c><00:38:05.500><c> in</c><00:38:05.739><c> Jerusalem,</c>

00:38:07.139 --> 00:38:09.300
listening<00:38:07.519><c> to</c><00:38:07.860><c> him</c><00:38:08.019><c> in</c><00:38:08.219><c> the</c><00:38:08.400><c> temple.</c>

00:38:11.219 --> 00:38:16.619
In<00:38:11.900><c> fact,</c><00:38:13.719><c> I</c><00:38:14.400><c> think</c><00:38:14.599><c> I</c><00:38:14.780><c> can</c><00:38:14.960><c> prove</c><00:38:15.119><c> that</c><00:38:15.320><c> to</c><00:38:15.539><c> you.</c>

00:38:16.840 --> 00:38:19.780

00:38:21.159 --> 00:38:23.940
I<00:38:21.420><c> think</c><00:38:21.539><c> this</c><00:38:21.719><c> is</c><00:38:22.059><c> a</c><00:38:22.300><c> fascinating</c><00:38:22.760><c> story.</c>

Some<00:38:27.340><c> people</c><00:38:27.679><c> have</c><00:38:28.340><c> argued</c><00:38:28.719><c> or</c><00:38:29.059><c> said</c><00:38:29.239><c> or</c><00:38:29.519><c> suggested</c>

A<00:38:58.219><c> man</c><00:38:58.460><c> who</c><00:38:58.679><c> was</c><00:38:59.219><c> obsessed</c><00:38:59.599><c> about</c><00:38:59.960><c> works,</c><00:39:00.840><c> what</c><00:39:01.039><c> must</c><00:39:01.260><c> I</c><00:39:01.519><c> do?</c>

00:39:27.179 --> 00:39:29.079
Here<00:39:27.480><c> another</c><00:39:27.920><c> parable.</c>

00:39:29.980 --> 00:39:32.340
