00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:33.239
The<00:01:29.359><c> ascension</c><00:01:29.819><c> of</c><00:01:30.060><c> Christ</c><00:01:30.620><c> is</c><00:01:31.040><c> a</c><00:01:31.260><c> neglected</c><00:01:31.959><c> doctrine.</c>

00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:37.420

00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:07.500
And<00:02:03.959><c> if</c><00:02:04.200><c> you</c><00:02:04.439><c> think</c><00:02:04.780><c> that</c><00:02:05.519><c> where's</c><00:02:06.280><c> the</c><00:02:06.459><c> ascension</c><00:02:06.900><c> of</c><00:02:07.099><c> Christ</c>

00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:18.219
But<00:02:16.520><c> that's</c><00:02:16.879><c> another</c><00:02:17.060><c> subject.</c>

00:02:19.180 --> 00:02:21.680
This<00:02:19.340><c> morning</c><00:02:19.639><c> we're</c><00:02:19.860><c> going</c><00:02:19.979><c> to</c><00:02:20.300><c> consider</c><00:02:20.639><c> the</c><00:02:20.979><c> ascension</c><00:02:21.479><c> of</c>

00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:26.740
Therefore,<00:12:20.259><c> verse</c><00:12:20.399><c> 9,</c><00:12:20.860><c> my</c><00:12:21.059><c> heart</c><00:12:21.340><c> is</c><00:12:21.639><c> glad,</c><00:12:22.360><c> my</c><00:12:22.500><c> glory</c><00:12:22.779><c> rejoices,</c><00:12:23.759><c> my</c><00:12:24.019><c> flesh</c><00:12:24.299><c> also</c><00:12:24.539><c> shall</c><00:12:24.940><c> rest</c><00:12:25.379><c> in</c><00:12:25.720><c> hope.</c>

00:12:26.820 --> 00:12:29.720
For<00:12:26.879><c> thou</c><00:12:27.080><c> wilt</c><00:12:27.279><c> not</c><00:12:27.480><c> leave</c><00:12:27.740><c> my</c><00:12:28.100><c> soul</c><00:12:28.360><c> in</c><00:12:28.679><c> hell,</c><00:12:29.399><c> neither</c><00:12:29.519><c> wilt</c>

00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:58.220
For<00:12:54.940><c> Jesus</c><00:12:55.240><c> not</c><00:12:55.519><c> only</c><00:12:56.240><c> knew</c><00:12:56.559><c> about</c><00:12:56.840><c> the</c><00:12:57.059><c> resurrection,</c><00:12:58.039><c> but</c>

00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:07.080
And<00:13:05.519><c> surely</c><00:13:05.759><c> that's</c><00:13:06.179><c> guidance</c><00:13:06.539><c> for</c><00:13:06.799><c> us.</c>

00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:12.120

00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:21.059
And<00:13:16.480><c> that</c><00:13:16.700><c> phrase</c><00:13:17.080><c> in</c><00:13:17.360><c> verse</c><00:13:17.519><c> 11,</c><00:13:18.039><c> now</c><00:13:18.240><c> show</c><00:13:18.639><c> me</c><00:13:18.879><c> the</c><00:13:19.279><c> path</c><00:13:19.659><c> of</c><00:13:19.980><c> life.</c>

00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:26.179
In<00:13:21.960><c> thy</c><00:13:22.419><c> presence</c><00:13:23.299><c> is</c><00:13:24.039><c> fullness</c><00:13:24.440><c> of</c><00:13:24.840><c> joy.</c>

00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:31.259
Yes,<00:13:28.679><c> at</c><00:13:28.860><c> the</c><00:13:29.120><c> right</c><00:13:29.480><c> hand</c><00:13:29.700><c> of</c><00:13:29.899><c> the</c><00:13:30.019><c> Majesty</c><00:13:30.460><c> on</c><00:13:30.779><c> high,</c><00:13:31.120><c> there</c>

00:13:36.539 --> 00:13:41.679
That<00:13:37.259><c> phrase</c><00:13:37.700><c> is</c><00:13:37.919><c> picked</c><00:13:38.220><c> up</c><00:13:38.659><c> by</c><00:13:39.019><c> the</c><00:13:39.159><c> Master</c><00:13:39.460><c> in</c><00:13:39.639><c> his</c><00:13:39.820><c> teaching</c><00:13:40.440><c> about</c>

00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:44.059
the<00:13:42.500><c> correspondence,</c>

00:13:44.419 --> 00:13:47.799
the<00:13:44.759><c> understanding</c><00:13:45.419><c> between</c><00:13:45.759><c> God</c><00:13:46.200><c> and</c><00:13:46.480><c> his</c><00:13:46.779><c> Son.</c>

00:13:48.899 --> 00:13:52.679
So<00:13:49.039><c> I</c><00:13:49.100><c> think</c><00:13:49.240><c> we</c><00:13:49.360><c> have</c><00:13:49.580><c> to</c><00:13:49.940><c> give</c><00:13:50.379><c> a</c><00:13:50.480><c> little,</c><00:13:50.899><c> not</c><00:13:51.799><c> give</c><00:13:52.159><c> rein</c><00:13:52.460><c> to</c>

00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:55.980
our<00:13:52.940><c> imagination,</c><00:13:53.539><c> but</c><00:13:53.559><c> at</c><00:13:53.639><c> least</c><00:13:54.039><c> use</c><00:13:54.379><c> our</c><00:13:54.720><c> imagination.</c>

00:13:57.080 --> 00:14:01.399
When<00:13:57.360><c> Jesus</c><00:13:57.899><c> ascended</c><00:13:58.539><c> on</c><00:13:58.960><c> high,</c><00:13:59.500><c> he</c><00:13:59.539><c> didn't</c><00:14:00.000><c> disappear.</c>

00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:03.240
He<00:14:01.639><c> actually</c><00:14:02.220><c> went</c><00:14:02.720><c> someplace.</c>

00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:09.440
He<00:14:04.080><c> went</c><00:14:04.500><c> on</c><00:14:04.860><c> the</c><00:14:05.059><c> path</c><00:14:05.419><c> of</c><00:14:05.700><c> life</c><00:14:06.620><c> to</c><00:14:07.960><c> the</c><00:14:08.240><c> throne.</c>

00:14:10.740 --> 00:14:16.799
And<00:14:10.940><c> he</c><00:14:11.240><c> is</c><00:14:11.600><c> there</c><00:14:12.360><c> making</c><00:14:13.259><c> our</c><00:14:14.779><c> prayers</c><00:14:15.399><c> and</c><00:14:15.919><c> expressing</c><00:14:16.379><c> them</c><00:14:16.639><c> to</c>

00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:17.200
the<00:14:17.000><c> Father.</c>

00:14:17.299 --> 00:14:19.779
There<00:14:17.519><c> is</c><00:14:18.340><c> conversation.</c>

00:14:20.460 --> 00:14:25.279
You<00:14:20.600><c> see,</c><00:14:20.759><c> I</c><00:14:20.879><c> believe</c><00:14:21.320><c> that</c><00:14:21.659><c> actually</c><00:14:22.039><c> God</c><00:14:22.559><c> dwells</c><00:14:23.220><c> in</c><00:14:23.419><c> light,</c><00:14:23.779><c> unapproachable.</c>

00:14:25.340 --> 00:14:28.399
It<00:14:25.659><c> is</c><00:14:25.960><c> fashionable,</c><00:14:26.659><c> at</c><00:14:26.700><c> least</c><00:14:26.940><c> in</c><00:14:27.100><c> the</c><00:14:27.200><c> United</c><00:14:27.519><c> Kingdom,</c><00:14:28.039><c> to</c>

00:14:39.220 --> 00:14:42.659
I<00:14:39.419><c> believe</c><00:14:39.639><c> that</c><00:14:39.820><c> that</c><00:14:40.000><c> is</c><00:14:40.259><c> false.</c><00:14:40.840><c> I</c><00:14:40.919><c> believe</c><00:14:41.360><c> that</c><00:14:41.659><c> God</c><00:14:41.980><c> has</c>

00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:38.559
You<00:15:35.200><c> remember</c><00:15:35.419><c> I</c><00:15:35.539><c> said</c><00:15:35.740><c> right</c><00:15:36.000><c> at</c><00:15:36.159><c> the</c><00:15:36.299><c> beginning</c><00:15:36.759><c> that</c><00:15:38.139><c> Psalm</c>

00:15:42.179 --> 00:15:48.720
While<00:15:42.659><c> Psalm</c><00:15:43.000><c> 110</c><00:15:43.720><c> is</c><00:15:44.460><c> a</c><00:15:44.679><c> bridgehead</c><00:15:45.480><c> between</c><00:15:46.139><c> Abraham</c><00:15:46.940><c> and</c><00:15:47.519><c> Christ.</c>

00:15:49.980 --> 00:15:52.759

00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:58.440
It's<00:15:56.419><c> a</c><00:15:56.659><c> bridgehead.</c>

00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:02.519

00:16:22.100 --> 00:16:26.899
So<00:16:22.200><c> it's</c><00:16:22.480><c> David</c><00:16:23.080><c> speaking</c><00:16:23.940><c> about</c><00:16:24.779><c> God</c><00:16:25.379><c> in</c><00:16:25.820><c> glory.</c>
