00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:38.259
And<00:15:34.600><c> now</c><00:15:34.820><c> he</c><00:15:35.179><c> presents</c><00:15:35.700><c> the</c><00:15:36.019><c> deliverer,</c><00:15:36.899><c> the</c><00:15:37.080><c> Messiah,</c><00:15:38.139><c> the</c>

Not<00:15:45.419><c> seventy</c><00:15:46.139><c> years</c><00:15:47.299><c> are</c><00:15:48.740><c> determined,</c><00:15:50.179><c> but</c><00:15:50.720><c> seventy</c><00:15:51.779><c>-sevens</c>

00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:53.340
are<00:15:52.820><c> determined.</c>

00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:55.759
The<00:15:53.799><c> translators</c><00:15:54.100><c> have</c><00:15:54.259><c> put</c><00:15:54.399><c> in</c><00:15:54.539><c> the</c><00:15:54.620><c> word</c><00:15:54.799><c> weeks</c><00:15:55.200><c> because,</c>

00:15:59.299 --> 00:16:02.639
But<00:15:59.639><c> it</c><00:15:59.820><c> is</c><00:15:59.960><c> an</c><00:16:00.100><c> actual</c><00:16:00.299><c> fact,</c><00:16:00.700><c> seventy</c><00:16:01.419><c>-sevens.</c>

00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:10.200
So<00:16:03.379><c> it's</c><00:16:04.019><c> a</c><00:16:04.139><c> period</c><00:16:04.299><c> of</c><00:16:04.600><c> time</c><00:16:04.960><c> of</c><00:16:05.340><c> 490</c><00:16:06.399><c> and</c><00:16:07.259><c> which</c><00:16:07.440><c> all</c><00:16:07.620><c> who</c><00:16:07.799><c> read</c><00:16:07.840><c> this</c><00:16:08.120><c> chapter</c><00:16:08.720><c> began</c><00:16:09.460><c> to</c><00:16:09.840><c> interpret</c>

00:16:15.580 --> 00:16:19.159
And<00:16:15.820><c> it</c><00:16:15.919><c> was</c><00:16:16.940><c> detailed</c><00:16:17.600><c> in</c><00:16:17.899><c> this</c><00:16:18.120><c> chapter.</c>

00:16:19.779 --> 00:16:25.220
But<00:16:19.980><c> it</c><00:16:20.000><c> wasn't</c><00:16:20.279><c> the</c><00:16:20.460><c> period</c><00:16:20.740><c> of</c><00:16:20.940><c> time</c><00:16:21.120><c> that</c><00:16:21.320><c> mattered,</c><00:16:21.519><c> it</c><00:16:21.679><c> was</c><00:16:22.399><c> what</c><00:16:23.539><c> was</c><00:16:23.779><c> going</c><00:16:23.899><c> to</c><00:16:24.179><c> happen.</c>

00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:34.559
And<00:16:26.179><c> so</c><00:16:26.320><c> in</c><00:16:26.460><c> verse</c><00:16:26.679><c> 24,</c><00:16:27.539><c> that</c><00:16:27.620><c> time</c><00:16:27.940><c> was</c><00:16:28.759><c> to</c><00:16:29.320><c> finish</c><00:16:30.120><c> the</c><00:16:31.639><c> transgression,</c><00:16:33.759><c> to</c><00:16:34.019><c> make</c><00:16:34.220><c> an</c>

00:16:37.139 --> 00:16:42.080

00:16:46.580 --> 00:16:51.080
an<00:16:46.580><c> imperishable</c><00:16:47.299><c> righteousness,</c><00:16:49.019><c> and</c><00:16:49.320><c> to</c><00:16:49.580><c> seal</c><00:16:49.679><c> up</c><00:16:49.879><c> the</c><00:16:50.039><c> vision</c><00:16:50.620><c> and</c>

00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:57.320
So<00:16:54.539><c> there</c><00:16:54.679><c> is</c><00:16:54.840><c> a</c><00:16:54.960><c> great</c><00:16:55.159><c> purpose</c><00:16:55.519><c> of</c><00:16:55.740><c> God</c><00:16:55.879><c> in</c><00:16:56.179><c> Christ.</c>

00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:00.639

00:17:01.299 --> 00:17:05.400
It's<00:17:01.899><c> a</c><00:17:02.039><c> long</c><00:17:02.600><c> way</c><00:17:03.019><c> ahead,</c><00:17:04.240><c> but</c><00:17:04.480><c> it's</c><00:17:04.740><c> a</c><00:17:04.859><c> greater</c><00:17:05.039><c> thing</c><00:17:05.279><c> than</c>

00:17:06.380 --> 00:17:10.019
It's<00:17:07.420><c> an</c><00:17:07.619><c> example</c><00:17:08.059><c> of</c><00:17:08.200><c> that</c><00:17:08.400><c> which</c><00:17:08.519><c> is</c><00:17:08.799><c> spoken</c><00:17:09.019><c> of</c><00:17:09.220><c> concerning</c><00:17:09.619><c> prayer,</c>

00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:13.980
that<00:17:10.180><c> God</c><00:17:10.400><c> is</c><00:17:10.660><c> able</c><00:17:10.980><c> to</c><00:17:11.400><c> give</c><00:17:11.500><c> us</c><00:17:11.880><c> exceeding</c><00:17:12.420><c> abundantly</c><00:17:13.099><c> above</c><00:17:13.519><c> all</c>

00:17:15.940 --> 00:17:19.140
And<00:17:16.140><c> here</c><00:17:16.240><c> was</c><00:17:16.420><c> a</c><00:17:16.579><c> dimension</c><00:17:17.079><c> beyond</c><00:17:17.539><c> that</c><00:17:17.960><c> which</c><00:17:18.240><c> was</c><00:17:18.880><c> within</c>

00:20:43.779 --> 00:20:44.880
what<00:20:43.920><c> he's</c><00:20:44.180><c> doing,</c>

00:20:45.059 --> 00:20:47.059

00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:56.900

00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:14.119
And<00:21:11.859><c> God</c><00:21:12.180><c> repeatedly</c><00:21:12.759><c> does</c><00:21:13.039><c> this</c><00:21:13.220><c> in</c><00:21:13.319><c> the</c><00:21:13.400><c> book</c><00:21:13.539><c> of</c><00:21:13.740><c> Proverbs,</c>

00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:21.920
And<00:21:18.519><c> so</c><00:21:18.700><c> Christ</c><00:21:19.019><c> had</c><00:21:19.180><c> to</c><00:21:19.359><c> set</c><00:21:19.500><c> the</c><00:21:19.740><c> banner</c><00:21:20.339><c> of</c><00:21:21.039><c> deliverance</c>

00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:25.559
All<00:21:25.039><c> were</c><00:21:25.240><c> captive.</c>

He<00:34:53.099><c> is</c><00:34:53.340><c> just</c><00:34:53.840><c> and</c><00:34:54.380><c> having</c><00:34:54.679><c> salvation,</c><00:34:55.699><c> lowly</c><00:34:56.320><c> and</c><00:34:56.559><c> riding</c><00:34:56.820><c> upon</c><00:34:57.099><c> an</c>

00:35:10.699 --> 00:35:17.860

00:36:17.159 --> 00:36:18.639
So<00:36:17.460><c> he</c><00:36:17.599><c> says</c><00:36:17.820><c> in</c><00:36:18.000><c> verse</c><00:36:18.280><c> 3,</c>

00:36:41.280 --> 00:36:44.739

God<00:37:53.300><c> who'd</c><00:37:53.739><c> always</c><00:37:54.139><c> existed,</c>

00:37:55.079 --> 00:37:58.719

00:38:11.340 --> 00:38:16.420
But<00:38:12.380><c> the</c><00:38:12.559><c> Scripture</c><00:38:12.820><c> tells</c><00:38:13.119><c> us</c><00:38:13.280><c> that</c><00:38:13.360><c> there</c><00:38:13.519><c> wasn't,</c><00:38:14.280><c> and</c><00:38:14.440><c> this</c><00:38:14.619><c> chapter</c><00:38:14.900><c> does</c><00:38:15.099><c> as</c><00:38:15.340><c> well.</c>

00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:27.460
It<00:38:24.960><c> was</c><00:38:25.480><c> without</c><00:38:26.179><c> flaw.</c>

00:38:28.559 --> 00:38:32.099

00:39:41.460 --> 00:39:45.219

the<00:40:14.500><c> garden.</c>

00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:21.659
So<00:40:15.699><c> with</c><00:40:15.940><c> Jesus</c><00:40:16.480><c> there</c><00:40:17.019><c> was,</c><00:40:17.980><c> at</c><00:40:18.199><c> every</c><00:40:18.480><c> stage,</c><00:40:19.920><c> the</c><00:40:20.079><c> potential</c><00:40:20.559><c> for</c><00:40:20.800><c> perfection</c><00:40:21.199><c> was</c><00:40:21.500><c> there,</c>

00:40:21.659 --> 00:40:24.079
it<00:40:21.780><c> was</c><00:40:22.119><c> perfect</c><00:40:22.940><c> as</c><00:40:23.659><c> a</c><00:40:23.800><c> bud.</c>

00:40:24.500 --> 00:40:28.179
And<00:40:24.719><c> then</c><00:40:25.000><c> in</c><00:40:25.199><c> its</c><00:40:25.440><c> opening</c><00:40:25.780><c> and</c><00:40:26.000><c> then</c><00:40:26.179><c> in</c><00:40:26.340><c> its</c><00:40:26.900><c> totality,</c><00:40:28.019><c> it</c>

00:40:28.179 --> 00:40:29.260
was<00:40:28.659><c> perfect.</c>

00:40:29.260 --> 00:40:33.699
But<00:40:30.000><c> the</c><00:40:30.639><c> final</c><00:40:31.079><c> perfection</c><00:40:31.619><c> was</c><00:40:31.940><c> a</c><00:40:32.119><c> growth</c><00:40:32.480><c> out</c><00:40:32.900><c> of</c><00:40:33.039><c> the</c><00:40:33.239><c> other,</c>

00:40:34.099 --> 00:40:37.860

00:40:38.260 --> 00:40:41.380
And<00:40:38.619><c> it</c><00:40:38.679><c> was</c><00:40:38.940><c> done</c><00:40:39.360><c> in</c><00:40:39.719><c> the</c><00:40:39.980><c> mind.</c>

00:40:42.300 --> 00:40:46.199
Now<00:40:42.500><c> what</c><00:40:42.619><c> does</c><00:40:42.780><c> it</c><00:40:42.960><c> mean</c><00:40:43.219><c> when</c><00:40:43.400><c> it</c><00:40:43.619><c> says,</c><00:40:44.300><c> who</c><00:40:44.380><c> being</c><00:40:44.900><c> in</c><00:40:45.960><c> the</c>

00:40:53.019 --> 00:40:56.079
It's<00:40:53.579><c> interesting</c><00:40:53.940><c> that</c><00:40:54.119><c> it</c><00:40:54.559><c> says</c><00:40:54.780><c> in</c><00:40:55.019><c> the</c><00:40:55.159><c> form</c><00:40:55.380><c> of</c><00:40:55.599><c> God,</c><00:40:55.840><c> it</c>

00:40:56.079 --> 00:40:58.139
doesn't<00:40:56.320><c> say</c><00:40:56.539><c> who</c><00:40:56.820><c> being</c><00:40:57.159><c> God.</c>

00:40:59.260 --> 00:41:01.800
The<00:40:59.519><c> very</c><00:40:59.760><c> expression</c><00:41:00.199><c> itself</c><00:41:00.739><c> is</c><00:41:01.039><c> telling</c><00:41:01.239><c> us</c><00:41:01.539><c> that</c><00:41:01.679><c> there</c>

00:41:01.800 --> 00:41:02.699
is<00:41:02.039><c> something</c><00:41:02.380><c> here</c>

00:41:02.699 --> 00:41:05.639
that<00:41:02.800><c> needs</c><00:41:03.059><c> to</c><00:41:03.239><c> be</c><00:41:03.440><c> looked</c><00:41:03.760><c> at</c><00:41:04.039><c> very</c><00:41:04.380><c> carefully.</c>

00:41:08.460 --> 00:41:14.159
Some<00:41:08.719><c> translations</c><00:41:09.300><c> have</c><00:41:09.559><c> got</c><00:41:10.219><c> who</c><00:41:10.960><c> being</c><00:41:11.360><c> originally</c><00:41:12.159><c> in</c><00:41:12.519><c> the</c><00:41:12.739><c> form</c><00:41:12.900><c> of</c><00:41:13.199><c> God.</c>

00:41:16.880 --> 00:41:20.960
Now<00:41:17.519><c> that's</c><00:41:18.159><c> not</c><00:41:18.380><c> justified</c><00:41:18.820><c> by</c><00:41:19.099><c> any</c><00:41:19.480><c> Greek</c><00:41:19.840><c> words</c><00:41:20.460><c> that</c><00:41:20.760><c> lie</c>

behind<00:41:21.420><c> this.</c>

00:41:23.440 --> 00:41:25.099
It's<00:41:24.079><c> only</c><00:41:24.280><c> an</c><00:41:24.500><c> interpretation.</c>

00:41:25.099 --> 00:41:30.820
The<00:41:25.579><c> translators</c><00:41:26.260><c> are</c><00:41:26.780><c> grappling</c><00:41:27.139><c> with</c><00:41:27.500><c> their</c><00:41:27.980><c> most</c><00:41:28.360><c> difficult</c><00:41:28.880><c> translation</c><00:41:29.519><c> here.</c>

00:41:31.960 --> 00:41:36.400
And<00:41:32.179><c> so</c><00:41:32.460><c> they</c><00:41:32.719><c> are</c><00:41:33.039><c> seeking</c><00:41:33.400><c> to</c><00:41:33.920><c> find</c><00:41:34.179><c> out</c><00:41:34.360><c> what</c><00:41:34.579><c> the</c><00:41:34.980><c> idea</c><00:41:35.300><c> is.</c>

00:41:36.500 --> 00:41:39.639

00:41:48.659 --> 00:41:50.019

00:41:50.019 --> 00:41:53.300

of<00:48:02.619><c> man</c><00:48:03.400><c> could</c><00:48:03.840><c> he</c><00:48:04.099><c> truly</c><00:48:04.420><c> be</c><00:48:04.960><c> son</c><00:48:04.960><c> of</c><00:48:05.019><c> God.</c>

00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:12.940
It<00:48:07.840><c> was</c><00:48:08.119><c> that</c><00:48:08.420><c> obedience</c><00:48:09.119><c> as</c><00:48:09.420><c> son</c><00:48:09.639><c> of</c><00:48:09.980><c> man</c><00:48:10.400><c> that</c><00:48:10.860><c> made</c><00:48:11.019><c> him</c><00:48:11.460><c> altogether</c><00:48:12.239><c> son</c>

00:48:12.940 --> 00:48:14.420
of<00:48:13.260><c> God.</c>

00:48:14.760 --> 00:48:20.260
Because<00:48:15.300><c> in</c><00:48:15.900><c> Christ</c><00:48:16.719><c> was</c><00:48:17.260><c> God</c><00:48:18.099><c> serving</c><00:48:19.019><c> man.</c>

00:48:20.800 --> 00:48:25.420
This<00:48:20.900><c> is</c><00:48:20.980><c> what</c><00:48:21.079><c> God</c><00:48:21.320><c> set</c><00:48:21.519><c> out</c><00:48:21.739><c> to</c><00:48:21.940><c> do,</c><00:48:22.139><c> to</c><00:48:22.340><c> deliver</c><00:48:22.579><c> man</c><00:48:22.900><c> from</c><00:48:23.059><c> his</c><00:48:23.320><c> sins,</c><00:48:23.500><c> to</c><00:48:23.679><c> be</c><00:48:23.860><c> a</c><00:48:24.079><c> deliverer.</c>

00:48:25.780 --> 00:48:29.760
And<00:48:26.260><c> it</c><00:48:26.360><c> was</c><00:48:26.639><c> in</c><00:48:26.880><c> that</c><00:48:27.139><c> that</c><00:48:27.460><c> he</c><00:48:27.659><c> did</c><00:48:27.820><c> the</c><00:48:28.039><c> work</c><00:48:28.179><c> of</c><00:48:28.340><c> his</c><00:48:28.579><c> father.</c>

00:48:29.920 --> 00:48:35.380
And<00:48:30.179><c> so</c><00:48:30.360><c> he</c><00:48:32.619><c> was</c><00:48:33.000><c> made</c><00:48:33.219><c> in</c><00:48:33.360><c> the</c><00:48:33.519><c> likeness</c><00:48:33.800><c> of</c><00:48:34.000><c> man.</c>

00:48:36.260 --> 00:48:39.179
Found<00:48:36.500><c> in</c><00:48:36.659><c> the</c><00:48:36.840><c> fashion</c><00:48:37.059><c> of</c><00:48:37.340><c> man,</c><00:48:37.940><c> he</c><00:48:38.380><c> humbled</c><00:48:38.760><c> himself.</c>

00:48:39.219 --> 00:48:42.400
That's<00:48:39.480><c> taken</c><00:48:39.659><c> out</c><00:48:39.860><c> of</c><00:48:39.980><c> Isaiah</c><00:48:40.219><c> 53</c><00:48:40.719><c>.7</c><00:48:41.119><c> by</c><00:48:41.360><c> the</c><00:48:41.500><c> way.</c>

00:48:43.320 --> 00:48:45.300
It's<00:48:43.480><c> a</c><00:48:43.639><c> link,</c><00:48:43.920><c> a</c><00:48:44.059><c> direct</c><00:48:44.300><c> link.</c>

00:48:45.880 --> 00:48:47.539
And<00:48:46.300><c> became</c><00:48:46.800><c> obedient.</c>

00:48:47.619 --> 00:48:49.000
Do<00:48:47.659><c> you</c><00:48:47.739><c> notice</c><00:48:47.880><c> that</c><00:48:48.119><c> word?</c>

00:48:51.980 --> 00:48:54.280
He<00:48:52.699><c> became</c><00:48:53.119><c> obedient.</c>

00:48:55.099 --> 00:48:58.400
It<00:48:55.219><c> wasn't</c><00:48:55.820><c> natural</c><00:48:56.699><c> to</c><00:48:57.159><c> him.</c>

00:49:00.619 --> 00:49:02.619
It<00:49:00.619><c> was</c><00:49:00.800><c> something</c><00:49:01.079><c> he</c><00:49:01.199><c> had</c><00:49:01.400><c> to</c><00:49:01.639><c> learn.</c>

00:49:03.219 --> 00:49:05.199
He<00:49:03.519><c> became</c><00:49:04.340><c> obedient.</c>

00:49:05.980 --> 00:49:10.199
And<00:49:06.099><c> it's</c><00:49:06.179><c> at</c><00:49:06.360><c> the</c><00:49:06.500><c> end</c><00:49:06.699><c> that</c><00:49:06.840><c> he</c><00:49:06.940><c> says,</c><00:49:07.820><c> not</c><00:49:07.920><c> my</c><00:49:08.519><c> will</c><00:49:08.800><c> but</c><00:49:09.159><c> thine</c><00:49:09.679><c> be</c><00:49:09.980><c> done.</c>

00:49:10.260 --> 00:49:13.539
That's<00:49:10.639><c> where</c><00:49:10.739><c> he</c><00:49:10.980><c> is</c><00:49:11.420><c> becoming</c><00:49:12.079><c> finally</c><00:49:12.800><c> obedient.</c>

00:49:14.000 --> 00:49:17.159
When<00:49:14.340><c> he</c><00:49:14.460><c> now</c><00:49:14.699><c> is</c><00:49:15.000><c> totally</c><00:49:15.539><c> the</c><00:49:16.179><c> servant</c><00:49:16.500><c> of</c><00:49:16.800><c> God.</c>

00:49:17.159 --> 00:49:20.039
When<00:49:17.980><c> his</c><00:49:18.239><c> own</c><00:49:18.500><c> will</c><00:49:18.639><c> is</c><00:49:19.059><c> totally</c><00:49:19.500><c> emptied.</c>

00:49:20.039 --> 00:49:21.440
That's<00:49:20.380><c> the</c><00:49:20.519><c> last</c><00:49:20.840><c> time.</c>

00:49:21.920 --> 00:49:26.900
And<00:49:22.539><c> the</c><00:49:22.699><c> cup</c><00:49:22.960><c> that</c><00:49:23.139><c> his</c><00:49:23.320><c> father</c><00:49:23.599><c> gave</c><00:49:23.840><c> him</c><00:49:24.000><c> to</c><00:49:24.219><c> drink,</c><00:49:25.699><c> he</c><00:49:25.940><c> drank.</c>

00:49:26.980 --> 00:49:30.400
And<00:49:27.159><c> that</c><00:49:27.599><c> drinking</c><00:49:27.920><c> was</c><00:49:28.340><c> the</c><00:49:28.599><c> emptying</c><00:49:29.019><c> of</c><00:49:29.159><c> himself</c><00:49:29.619><c> altogether.</c>

00:49:30.840 --> 00:49:35.639
That<00:49:30.940><c> his</c><00:49:31.260><c> father</c><00:49:32.260><c> might</c><00:49:32.639><c> be</c><00:49:32.960><c> fully</c><00:49:33.460><c> and</c><00:49:34.159><c> altogether</c><00:49:34.539><c> known.</c>

00:49:36.480 --> 00:49:40.260
And<00:49:36.760><c> it's</c><00:49:37.280><c> the</c><00:49:37.440><c> death</c><00:49:37.840><c> of</c><00:49:38.699><c> the</c><00:49:39.000><c> cross.</c>

00:49:41.619 --> 00:49:42.260
Right?

00:49:42.260 --> 00:49:47.699
So<00:49:43.059><c> that's</c><00:49:43.400><c> the</c><00:49:43.519><c> way</c><00:49:43.900><c> in</c><00:49:44.059><c> which</c><00:49:44.579><c> the</c><00:49:45.079><c> captain</c><00:49:45.380><c> of</c><00:49:45.539><c> our</c><00:49:45.760><c> salvation</c><00:49:46.800><c> wrought</c>

00:49:47.699 --> 00:49:48.519
his<00:49:48.059><c> perfection.</c>

00:49:48.719 --> 00:49:50.820
Just<00:49:48.920><c> go</c><00:49:49.119><c> on</c><00:49:49.280><c> to</c><00:49:49.420><c> Hebrews</c><00:49:49.699><c> chapter</c><00:49:50.099><c> 2.</c>

00:49:51.260 --> 00:49:55.280
It<00:49:51.340><c> was</c><00:49:51.719><c> no</c><00:49:52.000><c> calamity</c><00:49:52.460><c> to</c><00:49:52.639><c> read</c><00:49:52.840><c> chapter</c><00:49:53.199><c> 3.</c>

00:49:55.360 --> 00:49:57.820
There<00:49:55.500><c> never</c><00:49:55.659><c> is</c><00:49:55.860><c> a</c><00:49:56.039><c> calamity</c><00:49:56.380><c> in</c><00:49:56.500><c> reading</c><00:49:56.719><c> a</c><00:49:56.900><c> chapter</c><00:49:57.099><c> from</c><00:49:57.340><c> scripture.</c>

00:49:58.320 --> 00:50:03.900
And<00:49:58.480><c> in</c><00:49:58.719><c> fact</c><00:49:58.960><c> chapter</c><00:49:59.280><c> 3</c><00:50:00.199><c> feeds</c><00:50:00.880><c> on</c><00:50:01.159><c> the</c><00:50:01.360><c> ideas</c><00:50:01.639><c> from</c><00:50:01.860><c> chapter</c><00:50:02.119><c> 2.</c>

00:50:06.400 --> 00:50:10.739
Brother<00:50:07.019><c> Barry</c><00:50:07.519><c> in</c><00:50:07.719><c> his</c><00:50:08.000><c> opening</c><00:50:08.340><c> prayer</c><00:50:08.860><c> made</c><00:50:09.219><c> quotation</c><00:50:09.840><c> of</c><00:50:10.179><c> this.</c>

00:50:10.739 --> 00:50:12.719
It<00:50:10.739><c> was</c><00:50:10.940><c> from</c><00:50:11.099><c> our</c><00:50:11.219><c> opening</c><00:50:11.440><c> hymn</c><00:50:11.619><c> as</c><00:50:11.840><c> well,</c><00:50:12.059><c> was</c><00:50:12.179><c> it</c><00:50:12.400><c> not?</c>

00:50:13.079 --> 00:50:15.599
What<00:50:13.199><c> is</c><00:50:13.440><c> man</c><00:50:13.679><c> that</c><00:50:13.880><c> thou</c><00:50:14.000><c> art</c><00:50:14.219><c> mindful</c><00:50:14.460><c> of</c><00:50:14.679><c> him?</c>

00:50:16.500 --> 00:50:18.780
I<00:50:16.619><c> think</c><00:50:16.800><c> your</c><00:50:17.019><c> singing</c><00:50:17.239><c> will</c><00:50:17.480><c> get</c><00:50:17.599><c> better</c><00:50:17.900><c> in</c><00:50:18.079><c> due</c><00:50:18.239><c> course</c><00:50:18.539><c> by</c>

00:50:18.780 --> 00:50:19.679
the<00:50:18.920><c> way.</c>

00:50:21.340 --> 00:50:23.699
Well,<00:50:21.880><c> I</c><00:50:21.900><c> mean</c><00:50:21.960><c> that's</c><00:50:22.119><c> the</c><00:50:22.239><c> only</c><00:50:22.360><c> way</c><00:50:22.519><c> it</c><00:50:22.619><c> could</c><00:50:22.820><c> go.</c>

00:50:27.920 --> 00:50:31.360
Just<00:50:28.360><c> a</c><00:50:28.519><c> little</c><00:50:28.679><c> bit</c><00:50:28.800><c> of</c><00:50:29.059><c> practice</c><00:50:29.519><c> without</c><00:50:29.880><c> hymn,</c><00:50:30.860><c> eh?</c>

00:50:31.659 --> 00:50:33.760
It's<00:50:31.980><c> better</c><00:50:32.000><c> to</c><00:50:32.119><c> listen</c><00:50:32.239><c> to</c><00:50:32.400><c> the</c><00:50:32.599><c> organ,</c><00:50:32.900><c> where</c><00:50:33.059><c> it</c><00:50:33.280><c> goes.</c>

00:50:33.980 --> 00:50:36.920
When<00:50:34.139><c> it</c><00:50:34.599><c> leads</c><00:50:34.840><c> on</c><00:50:35.039><c> those</c><00:50:35.239><c> upward</c><00:50:35.539><c> notes</c><00:50:35.820><c> on</c><00:50:36.000><c> the</c><00:50:36.239><c> second</c><00:50:36.519><c> line.</c>

00:50:36.920 --> 00:50:40.900
That's<00:50:37.360><c> the</c><00:50:37.480><c> line</c><00:50:37.780><c> that</c><00:50:38.480><c> led</c><00:50:39.179><c> the</c><00:50:39.820><c> sopranos</c><00:50:40.320><c> astray.</c>

00:50:41.119 --> 00:50:43.820
You<00:50:41.239><c> have</c><00:50:41.460><c> our</c><00:50:41.780><c> sympathy</c><00:50:42.139><c> because</c><00:50:42.619><c> we</c><00:50:42.920><c> can</c><00:50:43.099><c> hide</c><00:50:43.320><c> underneath</c>

00:50:43.820 --> 00:50:45.400
you<00:50:44.480><c> when</c><00:50:44.699><c> you're</c><00:50:45.039><c> singing.</c>

00:50:45.860 --> 00:50:46.780
But<00:50:45.980><c> that's</c><00:50:46.239><c> the</c><00:50:46.400><c> line.</c>

00:50:47.199 --> 00:50:52.159

That's<00:54:22.960><c> what</c><00:54:23.039><c> you're</c><00:54:23.219><c> doing.</c>

00:54:24.559 --> 00:54:26.139
You're<00:54:24.760><c> destroying</c><00:54:25.000><c> all</c><00:54:25.199><c> that's</c><00:54:25.579><c> precious</c><00:54:25.800><c> to</c><00:54:26.039><c> it.</c>

00:54:35.659 --> 00:54:38.820
I'm<00:54:35.820><c> just</c><00:54:36.139><c> here</c><00:54:36.599><c> to</c><00:54:37.019><c> demonstrate</c><00:54:37.639><c> all</c><00:54:37.960><c> that</c><00:54:38.099><c> God</c><00:54:38.300><c> had</c><00:54:38.500><c> done</c><00:54:38.659><c> in</c>

And<00:54:45.420><c> to</c><00:54:45.559><c> make</c><00:54:45.679><c> it</c><00:54:45.880><c> known</c><00:54:46.000><c> unto</c><00:54:46.239><c> man.</c>

00:54:47.579 --> 00:54:50.699
So<00:54:48.380><c> there</c><00:54:48.699><c> we</c><00:54:48.960><c> are.</c>

00:54:51.340 --> 00:54:54.400
The<00:54:51.480><c> captain</c><00:54:52.539><c> suffered.</c>

00:54:59.679 --> 00:55:04.960
And<00:54:59.980><c> consequently</c><00:55:00.579><c> we</c><00:55:00.980><c> look</c><00:55:01.300><c> unto</c><00:55:01.639><c> Jesus,</c><00:55:03.099><c> the</c><00:55:03.440><c> author</c><00:55:04.019><c> and</c>

00:55:19.960 --> 00:55:22.840
but<00:55:20.079><c> could</c><00:55:20.340><c> never</c><00:55:20.599><c> live</c><00:55:20.800><c> up</c><00:55:21.079><c> to,</c>

00:55:23.219 --> 00:55:25.280
despising<00:55:23.780><c> the</c><00:55:24.099><c> shame.</c>

00:55:27.139 --> 00:55:28.980
What<00:55:27.239><c> a</c><00:55:27.559><c> marvellous</c><00:55:27.980><c> expression.</c>

00:55:29.119 --> 00:55:31.920
Not<00:55:29.340><c> bearing</c><00:55:29.780><c> it,</c><00:55:30.699><c> not</c><00:55:30.780><c> tolerating</c><00:55:31.480><c> it.</c>

00:55:32.059 --> 00:55:33.860
He's<00:55:32.260><c> got</c><00:55:32.400><c> beyond</c><00:55:32.760><c> it.</c>

00:55:34.360 --> 00:55:35.719
He<00:55:34.820><c> despises</c><00:55:35.280><c> it.</c>

00:55:35.719 --> 00:55:38.039
It<00:55:36.039><c> is</c><00:55:36.300><c> beneath</c><00:55:36.800><c> him.</c>

00:55:38.840 --> 00:55:40.380
The<00:55:39.059><c> shame</c><00:55:39.280><c> was</c><00:55:39.539><c> no</c><00:55:39.840><c> shame.</c>

00:55:40.860 --> 00:55:43.400
It<00:55:41.000><c> was</c><00:55:41.179><c> for</c><00:55:41.340><c> the</c><00:55:41.579><c> glory</c><00:55:41.800><c> of</c><00:55:41.940><c> his</c><00:55:42.159><c> father.</c>

00:55:43.639 --> 00:55:45.579
And<00:55:43.820><c> he</c><00:55:44.000><c> laid</c><00:55:44.099><c> it</c><00:55:44.300><c> beneath</c><00:55:44.579><c> him.</c>

00:55:45.659 --> 00:55:47.000
All<00:55:45.880><c> the</c><00:55:46.119><c> shame.</c>

00:55:47.019 --> 00:55:48.880
Even<00:55:47.280><c> though</c><00:55:47.400><c> it</c><00:55:47.420><c> was</c><00:55:47.639><c> an</c><00:55:47.960><c> awful</c><00:55:48.340><c> shame.</c>

00:55:49.300 --> 00:55:55.900
Because<00:55:49.780><c> you</c><00:55:50.159><c> remember</c><00:55:50.460><c> it's</c><00:55:50.800><c> taken</c><00:55:50.980><c> up</c><00:55:51.579><c> in</c><00:55:52.440><c> the</c><00:55:53.340><c> Psalm</c><00:55:53.719><c> 69,</c><00:55:55.519><c> I</c>

00:55:55.900 --> 00:55:56.840
think<00:55:56.079><c> it</c><00:55:56.280><c> is,</c>

00:55:57.340 --> 00:56:00.519
where<00:55:57.559><c> the</c><00:55:57.699><c> Lord</c><00:55:57.920><c> Jesus</c><00:55:58.280><c> Christ</c><00:55:58.679><c> there</c><00:55:58.940><c> is</c><00:55:59.119><c> made</c><00:55:59.340><c> to</c><00:55:59.579><c> say,</c>

on<00:56:05.420><c> me.</c>

00:56:07.400 --> 00:56:10.340
So<00:56:07.539><c> it</c><00:56:07.579><c> wasn't</c><00:56:07.780><c> just</c><00:56:08.000><c> the</c><00:56:08.199><c> reproaches</c><00:56:08.780><c> of</c><00:56:09.400><c> men</c><00:56:09.820><c> to</c><00:56:10.079><c> him,</c>

00:56:10.400 --> 00:56:12.980
it<00:56:10.599><c> was</c><00:56:10.760><c> the</c><00:56:10.980><c> reproaches</c><00:56:11.300><c> of</c><00:56:11.579><c> God</c><00:56:11.860><c> that</c><00:56:12.099><c> fell</c><00:56:12.239><c> on</c><00:56:12.400><c> him.</c>

00:56:13.400 --> 00:56:17.300
And<00:56:13.539><c> he</c><00:56:14.599><c> bore</c><00:56:14.840><c> that</c><00:56:15.539><c> on</c><00:56:16.559><c> our</c><00:56:16.800><c> behalf.</c>

00:56:17.679 --> 00:56:21.840
They<00:56:17.960><c> killed</c><00:56:18.400><c> the</c><00:56:18.619><c> Prince</c><00:56:18.840><c> of</c><00:56:19.019><c> Life,</c><00:56:19.360><c> the</c><00:56:19.599><c> author</c><00:56:20.039><c> of</c><00:56:20.500><c> our</c><00:56:20.719><c> life,</c>

but<00:56:22.039><c> God</c><00:56:22.360><c> raised</c><00:56:22.679><c> him</c><00:56:22.920><c> from</c><00:56:23.119><c> the</c><00:56:23.300><c> dead.</c>

00:56:25.820 --> 00:56:28.360
