00:31:57.230 --> 00:31:59.730
So<00:31:57.390><c> you've</c><00:31:57.549><c> got</c><00:31:57.609><c> to</c><00:31:57.869><c> get</c><00:31:58.089><c> rid</c><00:31:58.369><c> of</c><00:31:58.630><c> the</c><00:31:58.869><c> things</c><00:31:59.130><c> that</c><00:31:59.410><c> are</c><00:31:59.490><c> the</c>

00:31:59.730 --> 00:32:03.109

00:32:12.670 --> 00:32:13.769
So

00:32:27.190 --> 00:32:31.150
anyone<00:32:27.650><c> going</c><00:32:28.109><c> to</c><00:32:28.190><c> have</c><00:32:28.349><c> a</c><00:32:28.450><c> stab</c><00:32:28.529><c> at</c><00:32:28.670><c> that?</c><00:32:29.990><c> There</c><00:32:30.170><c> are</c><00:32:30.329><c> two</c><00:32:30.509><c> principles</c><00:32:30.950><c> in</c>

00:32:31.150 --> 00:32:32.589
verse<00:32:31.410><c> 38.</c>

00:32:43.750 --> 00:32:50.049
Now,<00:32:44.710><c> there's</c><00:32:44.970><c> nothing</c><00:32:45.329><c> very,</c><00:32:46.769><c> very</c><00:32:47.630><c> glorious,</c><00:32:47.990><c> is</c><00:32:48.230><c> there,</c><00:32:48.549><c> in</c><00:32:48.730><c> carrying</c><00:32:48.930><c> a</c><00:32:49.210><c> cross?</c>

00:32:52.049 --> 00:32:55.109
When<00:32:52.289><c> you</c><00:32:52.529><c> think</c><00:32:52.769><c> about</c><00:32:53.089><c> the</c><00:32:53.250><c> Lord</c><00:32:53.549><c> Jesus</c><00:32:53.930><c> Christ</c><00:32:54.509><c> carrying</c>

00:32:55.109 --> 00:32:57.170
his<00:32:55.490><c> cross</c><00:32:55.869><c> to</c><00:32:56.170><c> Calvary,</c>

00:32:57.849 --> 00:33:02.670
it<00:32:58.029><c> wasn't</c><00:32:58.250><c> a</c><00:32:58.390><c> very</c><00:32:58.670><c> pretty</c><00:32:58.930><c> sight,</c><00:32:59.289><c> was</c><00:32:59.450><c> it?</c><00:33:01.509><c> And</c><00:33:02.150><c> he</c><00:33:02.309><c> needed</c>

00:33:02.670 --> 00:33:05.210
help<00:33:03.309><c> on</c><00:33:04.029><c> the</c><00:33:04.230><c> way.</c>

00:33:06.549 --> 00:33:12.809
So<00:33:07.230><c> there's</c><00:33:07.349><c> nothing</c><00:33:07.710><c> very,</c><00:33:08.869><c> you</c><00:33:10.009><c> know,</c><00:33:10.549><c> wonderful</c><00:33:10.730><c> or</c><00:33:11.009><c> dramatic</c><00:33:11.789><c> often</c>

00:33:12.809 --> 00:33:15.670
in<00:33:14.390><c> going</c><00:33:14.569><c> to</c><00:33:14.829><c> death.</c>

00:33:17.569 --> 00:33:22.410
And<00:33:18.250><c> therefore,</c><00:33:19.549><c> in</c><00:33:19.750><c> fact,</c><00:33:20.410><c> it</c><00:33:20.529><c> can</c><00:33:20.730><c> often</c><00:33:20.990><c> be</c><00:33:21.829><c> the</c><00:33:22.109><c> opposite.</c>

00:33:22.450 --> 00:33:26.630
It<00:33:22.589><c> can</c><00:33:22.769><c> be</c><00:33:23.869><c> a</c><00:33:24.289><c> cause</c><00:33:24.490><c> of</c><00:33:24.769><c> ridicule</c><00:33:25.430><c> or</c><00:33:25.789><c> scorn</c>

00:33:27.690 --> 00:33:37.089
or<00:33:28.269><c> apathy</c><00:33:28.849><c> or</c><00:33:30.109><c> rejection,</c><00:33:32.289><c> mocking.</c><00:33:34.690><c> And</c><00:33:34.829><c> therefore</c><00:33:35.309><c> we</c><00:33:35.809><c> feel</c><00:33:36.130><c> embarrassed</c><00:33:36.789><c> by</c>

00:33:37.089 --> 00:33:38.450
having<00:33:37.369><c> put</c><00:33:37.609><c> ourselves</c><00:33:38.109><c> in</c><00:33:38.250><c> this</c>

00:33:38.450 --> 00:33:41.349
position.<00:33:38.890><c> And</c><00:33:38.970><c> let's</c><00:33:39.150><c> be</c><00:33:39.349><c> honest</c><00:33:39.549><c> about</c><00:33:39.809><c> it.</c><00:33:40.269><c> No</c><00:33:40.430><c> one's</c><00:33:40.789><c> forcing</c><00:33:41.089><c> any</c>

00:33:44.109 --> 00:33:48.650
and<00:33:44.690><c> to</c><00:33:44.869><c> put</c><00:33:44.970><c> other</c><00:33:45.210><c> things</c><00:33:45.430><c> down.</c><00:33:45.750><c> It's</c><00:33:46.029><c> a</c><00:33:46.170><c> voluntary</c><00:33:47.690><c> thing.</c>

00:33:48.910 --> 00:33:52.680
We<00:33:49.069><c> volunteer</c><00:33:49.869><c> to</c><00:33:51.210><c> actually</c><00:33:51.589><c> do</c><00:33:51.890><c> this</c>
