00:02:19.379 --> 00:02:22.800
So,<00:02:20.979><c> just</c><00:02:21.419><c> so</c><00:02:21.800><c> that</c><00:02:21.919><c> you</c><00:02:22.120><c> appreciate</c>

00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:35.800
I<00:02:33.080><c> just</c><00:02:33.300><c> want</c><00:02:33.400><c> you</c><00:02:34.080><c> to</c><00:02:34.219><c> come</c><00:02:34.419><c> to</c><00:02:34.639><c> Isaiah</c><00:02:34.979><c> 49.</c>

00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:37.979
Here's<00:02:36.360><c> one</c><00:02:36.560><c> of</c><00:02:36.699><c> the</c><00:02:36.879><c> references</c>

00:02:39.099 --> 00:02:42.599
where<00:02:39.740><c> Isaiah</c><00:02:40.159><c> speaks</c><00:02:40.560><c> of</c><00:02:40.979><c> one</c><00:02:41.180><c> of</c><00:02:41.360><c> the</c><00:02:42.199><c> aspects</c>

In<00:02:48.520><c> his</c><00:02:48.860><c> first</c><00:02:49.219><c> verse,</c><00:02:49.819><c> Isaiah</c><00:02:50.139><c> 49,</c>

00:02:50.860 --> 00:02:52.159
Listen,<00:02:51.379><c> O</c><00:02:51.439><c> Isles</c><00:02:51.680><c> unto</c><00:02:51.939><c> me,</c>

And<00:02:52.419><c> hearken</c><00:02:52.680><c> ye</c><00:02:52.879><c> people</c><00:02:53.280><c> from</c><00:02:53.639><c> far.</c>

00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:57.120
Yahweh<00:02:55.300><c> hath</c><00:02:55.560><c> called</c><00:02:55.939><c> me</c><00:02:56.300><c> from</c><00:02:56.520><c> the</c><00:02:56.840><c> womb,</c>

00:02:57.520 --> 00:02:59.360
From<00:02:57.680><c> the</c><00:02:57.960><c> bowels</c><00:02:58.460><c> of</c><00:02:58.740><c> my</c><00:02:59.060><c> mother</c>

00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:03.400
So,<00:03:01.900><c> undoubtedly,</c><00:03:02.639><c> we're</c><00:03:02.780><c> reading</c><00:03:03.080><c> about</c>

00:03:05.819 --> 00:03:08.199
Mary<00:03:06.379><c> is</c><00:03:07.120><c> prophesied</c><00:03:07.659><c> of</c><00:03:07.879><c> here</c>

00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:12.340
And<00:03:11.599><c> verse</c><00:03:11.919><c> 2,</c>

00:03:12.699 --> 00:03:14.419
He<00:03:12.900><c> hath</c><00:03:13.199><c> made</c><00:03:13.840><c> my</c><00:03:14.419><c> eyes</c>

And<00:03:15.419><c> mouth</c><00:03:15.419><c> like</c><00:03:15.960><c> a</c><00:03:16.460><c> sharp</c><00:03:17.139><c> sword.</c>

00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:21.199
In<00:03:18.719><c> the</c><00:03:18.960><c> shadow</c><00:03:19.280><c> of</c><00:03:19.539><c> his</c><00:03:19.860><c> hand</c><00:03:20.199><c> he</c><00:03:20.379><c> hath</c><00:03:20.560><c> hid</c><00:03:20.800><c> me</c>

00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:23.740
And<00:03:21.699><c> made</c><00:03:22.000><c> me</c><00:03:22.240><c> a</c><00:03:22.599><c> polished</c><00:03:23.120><c> shaft.</c>

00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:29.840
And<00:03:27.300><c> there's</c><00:03:27.919><c> the</c><00:03:28.219><c> divinity</c><00:03:28.599><c> of</c><00:03:28.780><c> the</c><00:03:28.860><c> Lord</c><00:03:29.039><c> Jesus</c><00:03:29.400><c> Christ.</c>

00:03:30.020 --> 00:03:32.860
His<00:03:30.219><c> humanity</c><00:03:30.719><c> in</c><00:03:30.919><c> verse</c><00:03:31.139><c> 1,</c><00:03:31.500><c> his</c><00:03:31.699><c> divinity</c><00:03:32.099><c> in</c><00:03:32.259><c> verse</c><00:03:32.520><c> 2.</c>

00:03:33.020 --> 00:03:35.099
And<00:03:33.280><c> here</c><00:03:33.500><c> he</c><00:03:33.639><c> is</c><00:03:33.819><c> as</c><00:03:33.960><c> the</c><00:03:34.159><c> word</c><00:03:34.419><c> made</c><00:03:34.699><c> flesh,</c>

00:03:35.300 --> 00:03:37.479
because<00:03:35.539><c> the</c><00:03:35.780><c> words</c><00:03:36.099><c> that</c><00:03:36.280><c> are</c><00:03:36.379><c> going</c><00:03:36.500><c> to</c><00:03:36.599><c> come</c><00:03:36.740><c> out</c><00:03:36.919><c> of</c><00:03:37.020><c> his</c><00:03:37.199><c> mouth</c>

00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:46.080
And<00:03:41.639><c> we</c><00:03:41.939><c> alluded,</c><00:03:42.419><c> I</c><00:03:42.620><c> think,</c><00:03:43.319><c> in</c><00:03:44.219><c> one</c><00:03:44.520><c> of</c><00:03:44.719><c> today's</c><00:03:45.939><c> sessions</c>

00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:50.759
Maybe<00:03:48.939><c> we</c><00:03:49.120><c> can</c><00:03:49.280><c> come</c><00:03:49.520><c> there</c><00:03:49.719><c> now.</c>

00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.460
And<00:03:51.080><c> you</c><00:03:51.199><c> know</c><00:03:51.379><c> these</c><00:03:51.620><c> words</c><00:03:51.919><c> very</c><00:03:52.340><c> well.</c>

00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:57.840
Yes,<00:03:55.960><c> we</c><00:03:56.099><c> did.</c><00:03:56.340><c> I</c><00:03:56.379><c> think</c><00:03:56.560><c> we</c><00:03:56.860><c> opened,</c>

That's<00:04:09.560><c> nice.</c>

00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:13.080
Thank<00:04:11.800><c> you.</c>

00:04:13.259 --> 00:04:14.199
And<00:04:13.419><c> verse</c><00:04:13.659><c> 12,</c>

00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:15.860
For<00:04:14.419><c> the</c><00:04:14.659><c> word</c><00:04:14.919><c> of</c><00:04:15.099><c> God,</c><00:04:15.280><c> and</c><00:04:15.539><c> remember,</c>

00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:18.100
the<00:04:16.079><c> word</c><00:04:16.279><c> of</c><00:04:16.420><c> God</c><00:04:16.560><c> is</c><00:04:16.699><c> one</c><00:04:16.879><c> of</c><00:04:17.019><c> the</c><00:04:17.300><c> titles</c><00:04:17.600><c> of</c><00:04:17.819><c> the</c><00:04:17.939><c> Lord</c>

00:04:18.100 --> 00:04:18.759
Jesus<00:04:18.459><c> Christ.</c>

00:04:18.819 --> 00:04:20.879
He<00:04:18.939><c> was</c><00:04:19.139><c> the</c><00:04:19.360><c> word</c><00:04:19.579><c> made</c><00:04:19.899><c> flesh,</c>

00:04:21.180 --> 00:04:24.339
is<00:04:21.500><c> quick,</c><00:04:22.319><c> alive,</c><00:04:22.980><c> and</c><00:04:23.379><c> powerful,</c>

00:04:24.579 --> 00:04:26.620
and<00:04:25.019><c> sharper</c><00:04:25.300><c> than</c><00:04:25.480><c> any</c><00:04:25.779><c> two</c><00:04:26.000><c>-edged</c><00:04:26.279><c> sword,</c>

00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:28.500
because<00:04:26.980><c> it</c><00:04:27.439><c> pierces,</c>

00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:30.480
the<00:04:29.180><c> word</c><00:04:29.420><c> that</c><00:04:29.740><c> Simeon</c><00:04:30.100><c> used,</c>

00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:34.079
a<00:04:30.740><c> sword</c><00:04:31.040><c> shall</c><00:04:31.319><c> pierce</c><00:04:32.060><c> through</c><00:04:32.379><c> thine</c><00:04:32.680><c> own</c><00:04:33.180><c> soul</c><00:04:33.560><c> also.</c>

00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:37.699
It<00:04:34.779><c> pierces</c><00:04:35.439><c> even</c><00:04:35.779><c> to</c><00:04:36.000><c> the</c><00:04:36.279><c> dividing</c><00:04:36.600><c> asunder</c>

00:04:40.060 --> 00:04:42.819
So<00:04:40.379><c> it</c><00:04:40.779><c> separates</c><00:04:41.259><c> and</c><00:04:41.680><c> divides</c>

00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:46.600

00:04:48.899 --> 00:04:53.699

00:06:24.339 --> 00:06:26.579

00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:31.720

00:06:33.500 --> 00:06:34.860
But<00:06:33.639><c> just</c><00:06:33.939><c> in</c><00:06:34.060><c> this</c><00:06:34.300><c> context,</c>

00:06:35.180 --> 00:06:38.540

in<00:06:40.180><c> Jeremiah</c><00:06:40.720><c> chapter</c><00:06:41.079><c> 17</c><00:06:41.800><c> and</c><00:06:42.420><c> verse</c><00:06:42.800><c> 9.</c>

00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:46.800

00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:56.899
In<00:06:54.899><c> Jeremiah</c><00:06:55.259><c> 17</c><00:06:55.800><c> and</c><00:06:56.040><c> verse</c><00:06:56.240><c> 9,</c><00:06:56.660><c> we</c><00:06:56.699><c> read,</c>

00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:11.740
Jeremiah<00:07:04.660><c> said</c><00:07:05.060><c> the</c><00:07:05.439><c> heart</c><00:07:06.079><c> is</c><00:07:06.819><c> the</c><00:07:07.699><c> most</c><00:07:08.779><c> deceitful</c><00:07:09.759><c> thing</c><00:07:10.160><c> ever,</c>

00:07:16.699 --> 00:07:19.399

naturally<00:07:24.240><c> speaking,</c><00:07:25.639><c> they</c><00:07:25.860><c> are</c><00:07:26.259><c> deceiving</c><00:07:26.819><c> themselves.</c>

00:07:29.420 --> 00:07:31.819

00:07:31.819 --> 00:07:34.000
because<00:07:32.459><c> it</c><00:07:32.839><c> deceives</c><00:07:33.220><c> us</c><00:07:33.459><c> into</c><00:07:33.740><c> thinking</c>

00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:35.759
that<00:07:34.259><c> right</c><00:07:34.399><c> is</c><00:07:34.620><c> wrong</c><00:07:34.800><c> and</c><00:07:34.939><c> wrong</c><00:07:35.139><c> is</c><00:07:35.379><c> right,</c>

00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:39.959
it<00:07:36.319><c> is</c><00:07:36.720><c> also</c><00:07:37.439><c> desperately</c><00:07:38.639><c> wicked.</c>

00:07:40.019 --> 00:07:43.480
That<00:07:40.240><c> is,</c><00:07:40.699><c> it</c><00:07:40.839><c> is</c><00:07:41.259><c> prone</c><00:07:41.839><c> to</c><00:07:42.600><c> sin.</c>

00:07:44.300 --> 00:07:46.740
So<00:07:44.699><c> this</c><00:07:44.879><c> is</c><00:07:45.100><c> our</c><00:07:45.279><c> natural</c><00:07:45.639><c> mind.</c>

00:07:47.060 --> 00:07:51.339

00:07:51.620 --> 00:07:55.800
The<00:07:51.860><c> only</c><00:07:52.300><c> cure</c><00:07:52.699><c> is</c><00:07:53.540><c> to</c><00:07:54.500><c> have</c><00:07:54.959><c> the</c><00:07:55.220><c> Word</c><00:07:55.360><c> of</c><00:07:55.540><c> God</c>

00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:00.980
It's<00:07:59.279><c> called</c><00:07:59.439><c> the</c><00:07:59.699><c> mind</c><00:08:00.019><c> of</c><00:08:00.180><c> the</c><00:08:00.579><c> spirit.</c>

It's<00:08:01.579><c> educated</c><00:08:02.000><c> by</c><00:08:02.680><c> scriptural</c><00:08:03.199><c> principles.</c>

00:08:03.939 --> 00:08:06.740
It's<00:08:04.259><c> the</c><00:08:04.439><c> Word</c><00:08:04.620><c> of</c><00:08:04.860><c> God</c><00:08:05.259><c> that</c><00:08:06.100><c> engineers</c>

00:08:16.579 --> 00:08:19.600
And<00:08:16.720><c> that's</c><00:08:16.879><c> why</c><00:08:17.079><c> Paul</c><00:08:17.339><c> in</c><00:08:17.439><c> Romans</c><00:08:17.839><c> 7</c><00:08:18.579><c> describes</c>

00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:23.740
because<00:08:21.699><c> he</c><00:08:21.819><c> had</c><00:08:22.019><c> these</c><00:08:22.399><c> two</c><00:08:22.660><c> laws</c>

00:08:27.500 --> 00:08:29.500
And<00:08:27.699><c> he</c><00:08:27.759><c> ends</c><00:08:28.019><c> up</c><00:08:28.620><c> lamenting</c><00:08:29.199><c> the</c><00:08:29.379><c> fact</c>

00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:31.860
he<00:08:31.019><c> never</c><00:08:31.180><c> ended</c><00:08:31.420><c> up</c><00:08:31.699><c> doing,</c>

00:08:33.139 --> 00:08:34.200

00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:36.960
I<00:08:34.759><c> find</c><00:08:34.960><c> then</c><00:08:35.159><c> a</c><00:08:35.320><c> law</c><00:08:35.480><c> within</c><00:08:35.759><c> my</c><00:08:36.059><c> members.</c>

00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:39.100
And<00:08:37.539><c> he</c><00:08:37.759><c> knows</c><00:08:38.080><c> that</c><00:08:38.259><c> he's</c><00:08:38.379><c> under</c><00:08:38.620><c> the</c><00:08:38.840><c> law</c>

00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:45.259
But<00:08:41.120><c> he</c><00:08:41.360><c> thanks</c><00:08:41.700><c> God</c><00:08:42.100><c> that</c><00:08:42.299><c> God</c><00:08:42.539><c> has</c><00:08:42.799><c> provided</c><00:08:43.419><c> a</c><00:08:43.820><c> cure,</c><00:08:44.120><c> a</c><00:08:44.240><c> solution.</c>

00:08:45.620 --> 00:08:46.779
So<00:08:45.700><c> what</c><00:08:45.919><c> is</c><00:08:46.159><c> the</c><00:08:46.340><c> solution?</c>

00:08:47.139 --> 00:08:50.620
Verse<00:08:47.179><c> 10,</c><00:08:47.980><c> I,</c><00:08:48.419><c> Yahweh,</c><00:08:49.759><c> search</c><00:08:50.019><c> the</c><00:08:50.379><c> heart.</c>

00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:52.039
I<00:08:51.120><c> try</c><00:08:51.460><c> the</c><00:08:51.720><c> rains.</c>

00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:54.179
The<00:08:52.440><c> rains</c><00:08:52.879><c> are</c><00:08:53.679><c> the</c><00:08:53.820><c> kidneys,</c>

00:08:54.620 --> 00:08:59.200
and<00:08:54.879><c> by</c><00:08:56.580><c> metaphor</c><00:08:57.179><c> they</c><00:08:57.500><c> describe</c><00:08:58.100><c> the</c><00:08:58.600><c> conscience,</c>

00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:02.559
the<00:08:59.899><c> deep</c><00:09:00.240><c>-seated</c><00:09:00.580><c> values</c><00:09:01.100><c> that</c><00:09:01.399><c> we</c><00:09:01.659><c> have.</c>

00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:04.879
So<00:09:03.360><c> Yahweh</c><00:09:03.820><c> searches</c><00:09:04.299><c> the</c><00:09:04.620><c> heart.</c>

00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:06.480
He<00:09:05.360><c> tries</c><00:09:05.799><c> the</c><00:09:06.059><c> conscience,</c>

00:09:06.779 --> 00:09:09.659
even<00:09:07.120><c> to</c><00:09:07.419><c> give</c><00:09:07.620><c> every</c><00:09:07.980><c> man</c><00:09:08.139><c> according</c><00:09:08.559><c> to</c><00:09:08.820><c> his</c><00:09:09.100><c> ways</c>

00:09:09.659 --> 00:09:12.039
and<00:09:10.080><c> according</c><00:09:10.480><c> to</c><00:09:10.740><c> the</c><00:09:10.960><c> fruit</c><00:09:11.080><c> of</c><00:09:11.240><c> his</c><00:09:11.460><c> doings.</c>

00:09:12.059 --> 00:09:14.940
So<00:09:12.340><c> Yahweh</c><00:09:13.600><c> analyzes</c><00:09:14.480><c> us</c>

00:09:14.940 --> 00:09:17.620
and<00:09:15.220><c> he</c><00:09:15.559><c> rewards</c><00:09:15.899><c> us</c><00:09:16.259><c> according</c><00:09:16.620><c> to</c><00:09:16.919><c> our</c><00:09:17.200><c> ways,</c>

00:09:17.700 --> 00:09:20.539

00:09:20.899 --> 00:09:22.759
Paul<00:09:21.100><c> says,</c><00:09:21.759><c> with</c><00:09:21.960><c> the</c><00:09:22.320><c> mind,</c>

00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:25.200
I<00:09:23.539><c> want</c><00:09:23.799><c> to</c><00:09:24.059><c> serve</c><00:09:24.279><c> the</c><00:09:24.480><c> law</c><00:09:24.620><c> of</c><00:09:24.860><c> Christ.</c>

00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:28.399
So<00:09:25.500><c> that's</c><00:09:25.799><c> his</c><00:09:26.039><c> mind,</c><00:09:26.320><c> that's</c><00:09:26.620><c> his</c><00:09:26.840><c> will,</c><00:09:27.139><c> his</c><00:09:27.639><c> determination.</c>

00:09:28.779 --> 00:09:33.539
God<00:09:29.159><c> rewards</c><00:09:30.220><c> us</c><00:09:30.639><c> if</c><00:09:30.960><c> we</c><00:09:31.159><c> have</c><00:09:31.460><c> set</c><00:09:31.820><c> our</c><00:09:32.559><c> face</c>

00:09:33.610 --> 00:09:35.740
and<00:09:33.899><c> our</c><00:09:34.259><c> mind</c><00:09:34.539><c> in</c><00:09:34.720><c> the</c><00:09:34.919><c> right</c><00:09:35.159><c> direction</c>

00:09:35.740 --> 00:09:38.480
and<00:09:36.820><c> according</c><00:09:37.299><c> to</c><00:09:37.500><c> the</c><00:09:37.720><c> fruit</c><00:09:37.840><c> of</c><00:09:38.019><c> our</c><00:09:38.179><c> doings.</c>

00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:41.980
Because<00:09:38.620><c> God</c><00:09:38.860><c> knows</c><00:09:39.159><c> sometimes</c><00:09:39.779><c> with</c><00:09:40.120><c> the</c><00:09:40.240><c> best</c><00:09:40.500><c> of</c><00:09:40.759><c> intentions</c><00:09:41.220><c> we</c><00:09:41.620><c> fail,</c>

00:09:42.179 --> 00:09:45.960
but<00:09:42.360><c> at</c><00:09:42.539><c> least</c><00:09:42.779><c> God</c><00:09:43.059><c> knows</c><00:09:43.460><c> we</c><00:09:43.799><c> are</c><00:09:44.159><c> aiming</c><00:09:44.679><c> for</c><00:09:45.379><c> the</c><00:09:45.639><c> mark</c>

00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:49.740
of<00:09:46.360><c> the</c><00:09:46.679><c> prize</c><00:09:46.899><c> of</c><00:09:47.080><c> the</c><00:09:47.220><c> high</c><00:09:47.480><c> calling</c><00:09:47.820><c> of</c><00:09:48.379><c> God</c><00:09:48.639><c> in</c><00:09:48.980><c> Christ</c><00:09:49.320><c> Jesus.</c>

00:09:49.940 --> 00:09:56.580
So<00:09:50.419><c> it</c><00:09:50.860><c> is</c><00:09:51.259><c> important</c><00:09:51.759><c> that</c><00:09:52.200><c> that</c><00:09:52.580><c> word</c><00:09:53.139><c> is</c><00:09:55.080><c> read</c><00:09:55.519><c> and</c><00:09:56.259><c> heard,</c>

00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:00.759
because<00:09:57.100><c> otherwise</c><00:09:57.580><c> we</c><00:09:57.860><c> will</c><00:09:58.120><c> rely</c><00:09:58.440><c> on</c><00:09:58.720><c> our</c><00:09:59.120><c> own</c><00:09:59.840><c> thinking,</c>

00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:02.379
and<00:10:01.379><c> that</c><00:10:01.519><c> is</c><00:10:01.740><c> dangerous.</c>

00:10:02.620 --> 00:10:04.419
It's<00:10:03.200><c> fraught</c><00:10:03.659><c> with</c><00:10:04.000><c> danger.</c>

00:10:04.419 --> 00:10:09.220
Now<00:10:05.000><c> I</c><00:10:05.120><c> just</c><00:10:05.320><c> want</c><00:10:05.399><c> you</c><00:10:05.559><c> to</c><00:10:05.559><c> come</c><00:10:05.779><c> back</c><00:10:06.019><c> to</c><00:10:06.299><c> Hebrews</c><00:10:06.600><c> chapter</c><00:10:07.580><c> 4,</c>

00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:12.000

00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:23.860
A<00:10:21.000><c> lot</c><00:10:21.139><c> of</c><00:10:21.419><c> people's</c><00:10:22.059><c> thoughts</c><00:10:22.340><c> were</c><00:10:22.720><c> going</c><00:10:22.860><c> to</c><00:10:22.980><c> be</c><00:10:23.360><c> exposed</c>

00:10:23.860 --> 00:10:27.539

00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:30.840
And<00:10:28.419><c> then</c><00:10:28.639><c> Paul</c><00:10:28.840><c> says</c><00:10:29.080><c> in</c><00:10:29.279><c> verse</c><00:10:29.559><c> 13</c><00:10:29.980><c> of</c><00:10:30.200><c> Hebrews</c><00:10:30.519><c> 4,</c>

00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:33.679
So<00:10:31.299><c> neither</c><00:10:31.299><c> is</c><00:10:31.659><c> there</c><00:10:31.919><c> any</c><00:10:32.200><c> creature</c><00:10:32.559><c> that</c><00:10:32.740><c> is</c><00:10:32.940><c> not</c><00:10:33.240><c> manifest</c>

00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:39.100
but<00:10:35.559><c> all</c><00:10:35.879><c> things</c><00:10:36.120><c> are</c><00:10:36.500><c> naked</c><00:10:36.919><c> and</c><00:10:37.539><c> open</c><00:10:37.919><c> unto</c><00:10:38.259><c> the</c><00:10:38.480><c> eyes</c><00:10:38.679><c> of</c><00:10:38.860><c> him</c>

with<00:10:39.360><c> whom</c><00:10:39.500><c> we</c><00:10:39.700><c> have</c><00:10:39.899><c> to</c><00:10:40.120><c> do.</c>

00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:50.480
So<00:10:41.779><c> God</c><00:10:42.039><c> sees</c><00:10:42.379><c> us,</c><00:10:44.960><c> sees</c><00:10:45.220><c> through</c><00:10:45.820><c> us,</c><00:10:47.799><c> sees</c><00:10:48.080><c> right</c><00:10:48.580><c> into</c><00:10:49.039><c> our</c><00:10:49.419><c> hearts.</c>

00:10:57.220 --> 00:11:00.259
why<00:10:57.460><c> he</c><00:10:57.659><c> answered</c><00:10:58.120><c> people</c><00:10:58.460><c> in</c><00:10:58.639><c> the</c><00:10:58.759><c> way</c><00:10:58.899><c> he</c><00:10:59.080><c> did,</c>

00:11:01.299 --> 00:11:03.840
or<00:11:01.519><c> treated</c><00:11:01.840><c> them</c><00:11:02.019><c> in</c><00:11:02.200><c> the</c><00:11:02.299><c> way</c><00:11:02.500><c> that</c><00:11:02.700><c> he</c><00:11:02.799><c> did.</c>

00:11:05.340 --> 00:11:09.919
The<00:11:05.600><c> reason</c><00:11:06.000><c> why</c><00:11:06.360><c> he</c><00:11:06.519><c> did</c><00:11:06.960><c> was</c><00:11:07.700><c> because</c><00:11:08.039><c> he</c><00:11:08.259><c> was</c><00:11:08.519><c> actually</c><00:11:09.259><c> answering</c>

00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:13.820
what<00:11:10.200><c> they</c><00:11:10.399><c> were</c><00:11:10.679><c> thinking</c><00:11:11.159><c> and</c><00:11:12.179><c> not</c><00:11:12.379><c> what</c><00:11:12.559><c> they</c><00:11:12.779><c> were</c><00:11:13.000><c> saying.</c>

00:11:14.059 --> 00:11:17.299
He<00:11:14.320><c> was</c><00:11:14.580><c> answering</c><00:11:15.059><c> what</c><00:11:15.539><c> they</c><00:11:15.759><c> were</c><00:11:16.000><c> actually</c><00:11:16.679><c> conceiving</c>

00:11:17.299 --> 00:11:18.259
in<00:11:17.519><c> their</c><00:11:17.779><c> minds,</c>

00:11:21.460 --> 00:11:22.840
That's<00:11:21.799><c> what</c><00:11:21.960><c> he</c><00:11:22.159><c> was</c><00:11:22.379><c> addressing.</c>

00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:25.139
Very<00:11:23.600><c> often</c><00:11:23.879><c> we're</c><00:11:24.120><c> not</c><00:11:24.259><c> used</c><00:11:24.480><c> to</c><00:11:24.720><c> that,</c>

00:11:25.139 --> 00:11:28.580
because<00:11:25.700><c> we</c><00:11:26.120><c> just</c><00:11:26.360><c> simply</c><00:11:26.720><c> think</c><00:11:27.179><c> that</c><00:11:27.360><c> we</c><00:11:27.460><c> can</c><00:11:27.639><c> just</c><00:11:27.919><c> say</c><00:11:28.120><c> something</c>

00:11:28.580 --> 00:11:32.840
and<00:11:29.200><c> that</c><00:11:29.480><c> reflects</c><00:11:30.000><c> what</c><00:11:30.320><c> we</c><00:11:30.620><c> want</c><00:11:30.799><c> people</c><00:11:31.100><c> to</c><00:11:31.500><c> think</c><00:11:31.879><c> about</c><00:11:32.399><c> us,</c>

00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:35.220
not<00:11:33.480><c> what</c><00:11:33.639><c> we</c><00:11:33.879><c> really</c><00:11:34.200><c> are,</c><00:11:34.419><c> because</c><00:11:34.539><c> we're</c><00:11:34.720><c> not</c><00:11:34.879><c> used</c><00:11:35.120><c> to</c>

00:11:35.220 --> 00:11:35.820
being<00:11:35.419><c> honest.</c>

00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:41.019
And<00:11:36.419><c> Paul</c><00:11:36.559><c> says</c><00:11:37.179><c> God</c><00:11:37.980><c> sees</c><00:11:38.419><c> through</c><00:11:38.779><c> the</c><00:11:39.039><c> things</c><00:11:39.240><c> that</c><00:11:39.480><c> we</c><00:11:40.379><c> might</c><00:11:40.700><c> put</c>

00:11:41.019 --> 00:11:42.639
up<00:11:41.179><c> as</c><00:11:41.419><c> a</c><00:11:41.559><c> veneer.</c>

00:11:42.659 --> 00:11:47.419
We<00:11:43.039><c> want</c><00:11:43.279><c> people</c><00:11:43.580><c> to</c><00:11:43.820><c> know</c><00:11:44.179><c> when</c><00:11:44.940><c> we</c><00:11:45.240><c> come</c><00:11:45.500><c> into</c><00:11:46.179><c> the</c><00:11:46.419><c> divine</c><00:11:46.860><c> space</c>

00:11:47.419 --> 00:11:50.000
and<00:11:47.919><c> come</c><00:11:48.200><c> face</c><00:11:48.539><c> to</c><00:11:48.700><c> face</c><00:11:48.919><c> with</c><00:11:49.120><c> God</c><00:11:49.399><c> through</c><00:11:49.620><c> his</c><00:11:49.840><c> word,</c>

00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.519
or<00:11:50.220><c> people</c><00:11:50.659><c> that</c><00:11:50.919><c> did</c><00:11:51.039><c> with</c><00:11:51.240><c> the</c><00:11:51.360><c> Lord</c><00:11:51.519><c> Jesus</c><00:11:51.899><c> Christ,</c>

00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:55.419
everything<00:11:53.480><c> is</c><00:11:53.779><c> naked</c><00:11:54.100><c> and</c><00:11:54.360><c> open.</c>

00:11:57.759 --> 00:12:00.240
So<00:11:58.179><c> we</c><00:11:58.460><c> can't</c><00:11:58.899><c> say</c><00:11:59.059><c> at</c><00:11:59.220><c> the</c><00:11:59.399><c> judgment</c><00:11:59.759><c> seat,</c>

00:12:00.700 --> 00:12:02.919
and<00:12:00.899><c> remember</c><00:12:01.440><c> there's</c><00:12:02.000><c> a</c><00:12:02.360><c> scripture</c><00:12:02.620><c> that</c><00:12:02.820><c> says</c>

00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:05.259
don't<00:12:03.200><c> say</c><00:12:03.399><c> to</c><00:12:03.559><c> the</c><00:12:03.720><c> angel</c><00:12:03.940><c> in</c><00:12:04.059><c> that</c><00:12:04.279><c> day</c><00:12:04.419><c> it</c><00:12:04.600><c> was</c><00:12:04.740><c> an</c><00:12:05.039><c> error,</c>

00:12:05.460 --> 00:12:07.740
because<00:12:05.740><c> the</c><00:12:05.980><c> angel's</c><00:12:06.240><c> going</c><00:12:06.379><c> to</c><00:12:06.519><c> know</c><00:12:06.679><c> you're</c><00:12:06.980><c> lying.</c>

00:12:08.179 --> 00:12:12.519
So<00:12:08.700><c> let's</c><00:12:09.220><c> be</c><00:12:09.799><c> careful</c><00:12:10.159><c> that</c><00:12:10.340><c> we</c><00:12:10.600><c> are</c><00:12:10.960><c> honest</c><00:12:11.580><c> with</c><00:12:12.080><c> ourselves,</c>

00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:15.200

00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:19.059
We<00:12:15.720><c> think</c><00:12:15.919><c> to</c><00:12:16.159><c> ourselves,</c><00:12:17.519><c> okay,</c><00:12:17.919><c> so</c><00:12:18.100><c> I've</c><00:12:18.360><c> got</c><00:12:18.440><c> to</c><00:12:18.639><c> calculate</c>

00:12:19.059 --> 00:12:19.860
what<00:12:19.240><c> I'm</c><00:12:19.419><c> going</c><00:12:19.500><c> to</c><00:12:19.700><c> say,</c>

00:12:19.860 --> 00:12:23.360
because<00:12:20.399><c> if</c><00:12:20.899><c> I</c><00:12:21.159><c> say</c><00:12:21.279><c> the</c><00:12:21.600><c> truth,</c><00:12:22.100><c> he's</c><00:12:22.559><c> going</c><00:12:22.740><c> to</c><00:12:22.960><c> react</c><00:12:23.179><c> in</c>

00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:23.700
this<00:12:23.580><c> way,</c>

00:12:23.700 --> 00:12:25.419
and<00:12:23.820><c> I</c><00:12:23.919><c> don't</c><00:12:24.139><c> want</c><00:12:24.259><c> him</c><00:12:24.419><c> to</c><00:12:24.580><c> react</c><00:12:24.779><c> in</c><00:12:24.940><c> this</c><00:12:25.139><c> way,</c>

00:12:25.580 --> 00:12:28.720

00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.320
it<00:12:28.799><c> might</c><00:12:28.980><c> not</c><00:12:29.120><c> be</c><00:12:29.259><c> the</c><00:12:29.480><c> whole</c><00:12:29.700><c> truth,</c><00:12:30.139><c> if</c><00:12:30.299><c> I</c><00:12:30.460><c> just</c><00:12:30.639><c> say</c><00:12:30.820><c> this,</c>

They<00:20:04.000><c> didn't</c><00:20:04.220><c> understand</c><00:20:04.740><c> human</c><00:20:05.079><c> nature</c><00:20:05.420><c> and</c><00:20:05.579><c> their</c><00:20:05.740><c> real</c><00:20:06.099><c> need.</c>

00:20:06.700 --> 00:20:07.779
Abel<00:20:06.940><c> understood</c><00:20:07.420><c> that.</c>

00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:10.859

and<00:20:11.059><c> Eve</c>

00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:15.119

00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:18.400
who<00:20:15.579><c> would</c><00:20:15.759><c> destroy</c><00:20:16.200><c> the</c><00:20:16.500><c> serpent</c><00:20:16.819><c> and</c><00:20:17.240><c> redeem</c><00:20:17.799><c> his</c><00:20:18.119><c> people</c>

00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:21.680
from<00:20:18.619><c> the</c><00:20:19.019><c> consequences</c><00:20:19.480><c> that</c><00:20:19.859><c> Adam</c><00:20:20.059><c> and</c><00:20:20.200><c> Eve's</c><00:20:20.480><c> sin</c><00:20:20.579><c> had</c><00:20:20.819><c> brought</c><00:20:20.980><c> into</c><00:20:21.220><c> the</c><00:20:21.460><c> world.</c>

00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:23.400
See,<00:20:22.019><c> that's</c><00:20:22.299><c> the</c><00:20:22.480><c> difference.</c>

00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:26.859
And<00:20:23.680><c> their</c><00:20:23.859><c> false</c><00:20:24.180><c> understanding</c><00:20:24.859><c> and</c><00:20:25.480><c> their</c><00:20:25.720><c> false</c><00:20:25.980><c> expectation</c>

00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:32.079
And<00:20:29.240><c> that's</c><00:20:29.599><c> why</c><00:20:29.680><c> it's</c><00:20:29.940><c> important</c><00:20:30.299><c> for</c><00:20:30.539><c> us</c><00:20:30.940><c> to</c><00:20:31.279><c> know</c><00:20:31.460><c> the</c><00:20:31.660><c> Scriptures</c>

00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:36.240
because<00:20:32.960><c> it's</c><00:20:33.259><c> the</c><00:20:33.400><c> basis</c><00:20:33.720><c> upon</c><00:20:34.059><c> which</c><00:20:34.539><c> we</c><00:20:35.059><c> can</c><00:20:35.480><c> understand</c>

00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:38.140
our<00:20:36.740><c> relationship</c><00:20:37.380><c> with</c><00:20:37.599><c> the</c><00:20:37.799><c> Father</c>

00:20:38.140 --> 00:20:42.500

00:20:43.119 --> 00:20:47.539
So<00:20:43.720><c> let's</c><00:20:45.099><c> move</c><00:20:45.579><c> now</c><00:20:45.819><c> to</c><00:20:46.059><c> Luke</c><00:20:46.279><c> chapter</c><00:20:46.660><c> 2</c>

and<00:20:48.240><c> start</c><00:20:48.539><c> our</c><00:20:49.480><c> third</c><00:20:50.000><c> session.</c>

00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:02.599
Now,<00:20:59.799><c> we</c><00:20:59.940><c> know</c><00:21:00.140><c> the</c><00:21:00.339><c> visit</c><00:21:00.519><c> of</c><00:21:00.839><c> the...</c>

Oh,<00:21:03.279><c> actually,</c><00:21:03.720><c> sorry.</c>

00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:07.559
Could<00:21:04.440><c> you</c><00:21:04.599><c> just</c><00:21:04.859><c> come</c><00:21:05.019><c> back</c><00:21:05.240><c> to</c><00:21:06.380><c> Matthew</c><00:21:06.720><c> chapter</c><00:21:07.119><c> 2,</c><00:21:07.380><c> I</c><00:21:07.480><c> beg</c>

00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:17.359
before<00:21:15.299><c> we</c><00:21:15.480><c> go</c><00:21:15.660><c> back</c><00:21:15.859><c> to</c><00:21:16.039><c> Luke's</c><00:21:16.440><c> Gospel.</c>

00:21:18.700 --> 00:21:20.799
And<00:21:19.160><c> I'm</c><00:21:19.619><c> just</c><00:21:19.839><c> going</c><00:21:20.000><c> to</c><00:21:20.200><c> change</c><00:21:20.640><c> slightly</c><00:21:20.799><c> the</c><00:21:20.799><c> way</c><00:21:20.799><c> that</c><00:21:20.799><c> I'm</c><00:21:20.799><c> going</c><00:21:20.799><c> to</c>

00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:21.299
do<00:21:20.799><c> it.</c>

00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:29.279
Let's<00:21:28.779><c> look</c><00:21:28.779><c> at</c><00:21:28.779><c> the</c><00:21:28.779><c> slides.</c>

00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:37.839
And<00:21:35.980><c> the</c><00:21:36.140><c> visit</c><00:21:36.380><c> of</c><00:21:36.579><c> the</c><00:21:36.779><c> wise</c><00:21:37.000><c> men.</c>

00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:40.420
Now,<00:21:38.420><c> we</c><00:21:38.579><c> don't</c><00:21:38.779><c> have</c><00:21:39.000><c> to</c><00:21:39.099><c> go</c><00:21:39.240><c> into</c><00:21:39.420><c> this</c><00:21:39.680><c> in</c><00:21:39.779><c> great</c><00:21:40.039><c> detail</c>

00:21:40.420 --> 00:21:44.359
because<00:21:40.720><c> this</c><00:21:41.039><c> relates</c><00:21:41.619><c> obviously</c><00:21:42.880><c> more</c><00:21:43.160><c> to</c><00:21:43.339><c> the</c><00:21:43.480><c> Lord</c><00:21:43.640><c> Jesus</c><00:21:44.019><c> Christ,</c>

00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:46.460
but<00:21:44.559><c> obviously</c><00:21:44.940><c> it</c><00:21:45.220><c> involves</c><00:21:45.519><c> Mary</c><00:21:45.859><c> and</c><00:21:46.079><c> Joseph,</c>

00:21:46.460 --> 00:21:49.259
and<00:21:47.059><c> it</c><00:21:47.180><c> would</c><00:21:47.359><c> have</c><00:21:47.519><c> been</c><00:21:47.680><c> an</c><00:21:47.980><c> amazing</c><00:21:48.339><c> thing</c><00:21:48.700><c> for</c><00:21:48.839><c> them</c><00:21:49.019><c> to</c>

be<00:21:49.500><c> visited.</c>

00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:55.500
Oh,<00:21:52.039><c> OK,</c><00:21:52.240><c> I've</c><00:21:52.460><c> just</c><00:21:53.119><c> now</c><00:21:53.599><c> interrupted</c><00:21:53.980><c> the</c><00:21:54.319><c> sequence.</c>

00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:03.579
Do<00:22:01.579><c> we</c><00:22:01.740><c> need</c><00:22:01.940><c> to</c><00:22:02.140><c> scroll</c><00:22:02.359><c> through</c><00:22:02.579><c> the</c><00:22:02.799><c> source?</c>

00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:05.660
OK.

00:22:17.299 --> 00:22:19.539
You're<00:22:17.960><c> a</c><00:22:18.059><c> legend,</c><00:22:18.400><c> Brother</c><00:22:18.579><c> Dave.</c>

00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:26.220
That's<00:22:22.640><c> right,</c><00:22:23.019><c> we've</c><00:22:23.339><c> got</c><00:22:23.460><c> the</c><00:22:23.960><c> laptop</c><00:22:24.319><c> and</c><00:22:24.680><c> the</c><00:22:25.980><c> data</c>

00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:31.299
That's<00:22:29.799><c> my</c><00:22:30.140><c> problem.</c>

00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:49.579
Let<00:22:45.819><c> me</c><00:22:46.279><c> just</c><00:22:46.460><c> see</c><00:22:46.700><c> if</c><00:22:46.900><c> I</c><00:22:47.059><c> can</c><00:22:47.279><c> just</c><00:22:47.539><c> escape</c><00:22:47.839><c> out</c><00:22:48.059><c> of</c><00:22:48.220><c> this.</c>

00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:58.059
Maybe<00:22:55.440><c> your</c><00:22:55.819><c> data</c><00:22:56.019><c> projector</c><00:22:56.299><c> doesn't</c><00:22:56.559><c> like</c><00:22:56.759><c> Greeks.</c>

00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:23.480
That's<00:23:21.920><c> OK,</c><00:23:22.140><c> it's</c><00:23:22.339><c> not</c><00:23:22.460><c> important.</c>

00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:30.059
You're<00:23:28.960><c> not</c><00:23:29.039><c> going</c><00:23:29.240><c> to</c><00:23:29.319><c> miss</c><00:23:29.480><c> much</c><00:23:29.759><c> by</c><00:23:30.000><c> it.</c>

00:29:46.299 --> 00:29:50.200
You<00:29:46.519><c> will</c><00:29:46.660><c> remember</c><00:29:46.940><c> that</c><00:29:47.279><c> a</c><00:29:47.539><c> similar</c><00:29:47.819><c> massacre</c><00:29:48.359><c> occurred</c><00:29:48.779><c> when</c><00:29:49.140><c> Pharaoh</c><00:29:49.480><c> tried</c><00:29:49.839><c> to</c>

00:29:59.319 --> 00:30:01.440
Why<00:29:59.519><c> does</c><00:29:59.700><c> God</c><00:29:59.880><c> allow</c><00:30:00.200><c> these</c><00:30:00.519><c> things?</c>

he's<00:30:18.359><c> benevolent</c>

00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:24.380

00:30:26.599 --> 00:30:30.420
to<00:30:27.119><c> the</c><00:30:27.380><c> point</c><00:30:27.519><c> where</c><00:30:27.720><c> some</c><00:30:27.960><c> of</c><00:30:28.099><c> the</c><00:30:28.759><c> animal</c><00:30:29.119><c> activists</c><00:30:29.720><c> find</c>

00:30:34.380 --> 00:30:39.059
So<00:30:34.480><c> you</c><00:30:34.779><c> can</c><00:30:35.019><c> actually</c><00:30:35.440><c> have</c><00:30:36.619><c> a</c><00:30:37.079><c> wrong</c><00:30:37.279><c> picture</c><00:30:37.799><c> of</c><00:30:38.140><c> God</c><00:30:38.500><c> that</c>

00:30:40.380 --> 00:30:42.900
If<00:30:40.460><c> you</c><00:30:40.619><c> just</c><00:30:40.900><c> have</c><00:30:41.039><c> your</c><00:30:41.259><c> own</c><00:30:41.480><c> definition</c><00:30:41.900><c> of</c><00:30:42.099><c> what</c><00:30:42.319><c> is</c><00:30:42.599><c> good</c>

00:30:42.900 --> 00:30:45.220

00:30:53.700 --> 00:30:55.740
Why<00:30:54.000><c> would</c><00:30:54.220><c> God</c><00:30:54.400><c> allow</c><00:30:54.680><c> this</c><00:30:54.920><c> to</c><00:30:55.140><c> happen?</c>
