00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:47.259
They<00:14:45.840><c> had</c><00:14:45.940><c> a</c><00:14:46.100><c> long</c><00:14:46.320><c> time</c><00:14:46.500><c> to</c><00:14:46.620><c> think</c><00:14:46.779><c> about</c><00:14:46.980><c> it.</c>

They<00:14:51.240><c> immediately</c><00:14:51.740><c> went.</c>

00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:53.919
And<00:14:52.980><c> you</c><00:14:53.039><c> know,</c><00:14:53.360><c> brethren</c><00:14:53.519><c> and</c><00:14:53.779><c> sisters,</c>

00:15:05.860 --> 00:15:07.259
That's<00:15:06.200><c> ridiculous.</c>

00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:11.840

well,<00:17:48.680><c> we</c><00:17:48.960><c> know</c><00:17:49.119><c> that</c><00:17:49.240><c> they</c><00:17:49.420><c> followed</c><00:17:49.579><c> him</c><00:17:49.700><c> at</c><00:17:49.859><c> Jesus'</c><00:17:50.380><c> turn.</c>

00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:51.819
He<00:17:50.680><c> said</c><00:17:50.880><c> that,</c><00:17:51.119><c> and</c><00:17:51.220><c> then</c><00:17:51.339><c> they</c><00:17:51.460><c> said</c><00:17:51.640><c> this.</c>

00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:55.099
But<00:17:52.160><c> you</c><00:17:52.319><c> see,</c><00:17:52.480><c> you</c><00:17:52.640><c> read</c><00:17:52.779><c> it</c><00:17:53.000><c> properly,</c><00:17:53.660><c> verse</c><00:17:53.940><c> 38.</c>

00:17:55.400 --> 00:18:00.839
Then<00:17:55.680><c> Jesus</c><00:17:56.059><c> turned,</c><00:17:57.579><c> he</c><00:17:57.859><c> saw</c><00:17:58.180><c> them</c><00:17:58.500><c> following,</c><00:17:59.500><c> and</c><00:17:59.880><c> said,</c>

Now,<00:18:04.579><c> notice</c><00:18:04.599><c> what</c><00:18:04.759><c> he</c><00:18:04.880><c> said,</c><00:18:05.200><c> brethren</c><00:18:05.440><c> and</c><00:18:05.680><c> sisters.</c>

00:18:06.740 --> 00:18:09.339
He<00:18:06.880><c> didn't</c><00:18:07.180><c> say,</c><00:18:07.859><c> who</c><00:18:08.240><c> seek</c><00:18:08.500><c> you?</c>

00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:13.339
He<00:18:10.640><c> wanted</c><00:18:10.880><c> to</c><00:18:11.099><c> know</c><00:18:11.400><c> what</c><00:18:11.940><c> seek</c><00:18:12.359><c> you?</c>

00:18:14.339 --> 00:18:17.079
And<00:18:14.519><c> the</c><00:18:14.740><c> point</c><00:18:14.900><c> that</c><00:18:15.200><c> the</c><00:18:15.339><c> Lord</c><00:18:15.500><c> was</c><00:18:15.740><c> making</c><00:18:16.059><c> is,</c>

what<00:18:17.299><c> is</c><00:18:17.539><c> it</c><00:18:17.660><c> that</c><00:18:17.839><c> you</c><00:18:18.039><c> want</c><00:18:18.279><c> with</c><00:18:18.500><c> me?</c>

00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:24.900
What<00:18:21.099><c> do</c><00:18:21.339><c> you</c><00:18:21.619><c> think</c><00:18:21.980><c> you're</c><00:18:22.220><c> going</c><00:18:22.359><c> to</c><00:18:22.480><c> get</c><00:18:22.819><c> to</c><00:18:23.160><c> by</c><00:18:23.460><c> following</c><00:18:23.839><c> me?</c>

00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:26.400
Where<00:18:25.220><c> do</c><00:18:25.359><c> you</c><00:18:25.460><c> think</c><00:18:25.619><c> we're</c><00:18:25.900><c> going</c><00:18:26.000><c> to</c><00:18:26.180><c> finish?</c>

00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:28.559
What<00:18:27.140><c> do</c><00:18:27.559><c> you</c><00:18:27.700><c> want?</c>

00:18:29.740 --> 00:18:32.099
Later<00:18:30.220><c> on,</c><00:18:30.539><c> when</c><00:18:30.539><c> they</c><00:18:30.660><c> came</c><00:18:30.940><c> to</c><00:18:31.059><c> get</c><00:18:31.140><c> him</c><00:18:31.259><c> in</c><00:18:31.359><c> the</c><00:18:31.440><c> Garden</c><00:18:31.579><c> of</c><00:18:31.700><c> Gethsemane,</c>

00:18:32.339 --> 00:18:34.619
when<00:18:32.579><c> Judas</c><00:18:32.900><c> came</c><00:18:33.160><c> with</c><00:18:33.460><c> the</c><00:18:33.500><c> scribes</c><00:18:33.759><c> and</c><00:18:33.940><c> Pharisees,</c><00:18:34.319><c> he</c><00:18:34.319><c> said,</c>

00:18:34.660 --> 00:18:36.599
whom<00:18:35.400><c> seek</c><00:18:35.720><c> ye?</c>

00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:40.640
And<00:18:37.640><c> they</c><00:18:37.740><c> were</c><00:18:37.900><c> very</c><00:18:38.279><c> interested</c><00:18:38.819><c> then</c><00:18:39.140><c> in</c><00:18:39.279><c> his</c><00:18:39.500><c> person,</c>

00:18:41.740 --> 00:18:44.119
for<00:18:42.019><c> a</c><00:18:42.200><c> very</c><00:18:42.539><c> different</c><00:18:42.839><c> reason</c><00:18:43.160><c> than</c><00:18:43.299><c> he</c><00:18:43.500><c> wanted</c><00:18:43.660><c> them</c><00:18:43.819><c> to</c><00:18:43.940><c> be</c>

00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:45.160
interested<00:18:44.359><c> in</c><00:18:44.460><c> his</c><00:18:44.740><c> person.</c>

00:18:45.380 --> 00:18:48.420
But<00:18:45.599><c> here</c><00:18:45.799><c> it's</c><00:18:46.000><c> a</c><00:18:46.099><c> question</c><00:18:46.339><c> of,</c><00:18:46.900><c> what</c><00:18:47.220><c> do</c><00:18:47.500><c> you</c><00:18:47.640><c> want?</c>

00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:52.140
It's<00:18:49.440><c> like</c><00:18:49.640><c> Peter</c><00:18:49.900><c> later</c><00:18:50.180><c> on</c><00:18:50.480><c> said,</c><00:18:50.960><c> Lord,</c><00:18:51.299><c> we</c><00:18:51.480><c> have</c><00:18:51.640><c> left</c><00:18:51.839><c> all.</c>

00:18:52.339 --> 00:18:54.880
What<00:18:52.640><c> shall</c><00:18:52.880><c> we</c><00:18:53.279><c> have,</c><00:18:53.900><c> therefore?</c>

00:18:55.700 --> 00:18:58.720
Is<00:18:56.180><c> it</c><00:18:56.380><c> a</c><00:18:56.460><c> question,</c><00:18:56.920><c> brethren</c><00:18:57.099><c> and</c><00:18:57.400><c> sisters,</c><00:18:57.599><c> of</c><00:18:57.839><c> what?</c>

00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:00.839
Or<00:18:58.940><c> is</c><00:18:59.099><c> it</c><00:18:59.259><c> a</c><00:18:59.359><c> question</c><00:18:59.579><c> of</c><00:18:59.759><c> who?</c>

00:19:01.500 --> 00:19:03.119
That's<00:19:01.980><c> the</c><00:19:02.119><c> question.</c>

00:19:03.579 --> 00:19:05.180
And<00:19:03.700><c> you</c><00:19:03.779><c> know</c><00:19:03.920><c> this</c><00:19:04.160><c> also.</c>

00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:08.359
I<00:19:05.680><c> believe</c><00:19:05.900><c> that</c><00:19:06.000><c> what</c><00:19:06.119><c> the</c><00:19:06.279><c> Lord</c><00:19:06.400><c> was</c><00:19:06.599><c> doing</c><00:19:06.799><c> here</c><00:19:07.099><c> was</c><00:19:07.279><c> this.</c>

00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:11.799
He<00:19:08.819><c> didn't</c><00:19:09.180><c> permit</c><00:19:09.700><c> anyone</c><00:19:10.480><c> to</c><00:19:10.779><c> follow</c><00:19:10.960><c> him,</c>

00:19:11.980 --> 00:19:15.200
unless<00:19:12.599><c> that</c><00:19:12.980><c> person</c><00:19:13.359><c> was</c><00:19:13.660><c> prepared</c><00:19:13.920><c> to</c><00:19:14.079><c> give</c><00:19:14.220><c> a</c><00:19:14.440><c> commitment.</c>

00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:18.400
The<00:19:16.440><c> Lord</c><00:19:16.640><c> was</c><00:19:16.900><c> well</c><00:19:17.200><c> aware</c><00:19:17.460><c> that</c><00:19:17.599><c> those</c><00:19:17.839><c> disciples</c><00:19:18.160><c> were</c>

00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:19.119
following<00:19:18.680><c> him.</c>

00:19:19.299 --> 00:19:21.420
He<00:19:19.460><c> didn't</c><00:19:19.660><c> have</c><00:19:19.839><c> to</c><00:19:19.900><c> look</c><00:19:20.059><c> over</c><00:19:20.259><c> his</c><00:19:20.519><c> shoulder.</c>

00:19:21.619 --> 00:19:25.440
But<00:19:22.059><c> he</c><00:19:22.140><c> was</c><00:19:22.359><c> also</c><00:19:22.819><c> well</c><00:19:23.039><c> aware,</c><00:19:23.519><c> as</c><00:19:23.579><c> John,</c><00:19:24.039><c> I</c><00:19:24.039><c> believe,</c><00:19:24.420><c> deliberately</c><00:19:24.859><c> tells</c><00:19:25.160><c> us,</c>

00:19:25.660 --> 00:19:26.859
he<00:19:25.960><c> turned.</c>

00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:29.700
And<00:19:27.660><c> if</c><00:19:27.920><c> people</c><00:19:28.119><c> get</c><00:19:28.339><c> behind</c><00:19:28.680><c> the</c><00:19:28.819><c> Lord</c><00:19:29.000><c> Jesus</c><00:19:29.440><c> Christ,</c>

00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:35.180

00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:41.240
Lord,<00:19:39.019><c> I'll</c><00:19:39.299><c> follow</c><00:19:39.480><c> you</c><00:19:39.640><c> to</c><00:19:39.819><c> death,</c><00:19:40.079><c> said</c><00:19:40.119><c> one</c><00:19:40.380><c> man.</c>

00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:25.240

00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:28.119

00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:35.819

00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:44.500
And<00:22:41.859><c> he'll</c><00:22:42.099><c> turn</c><00:22:42.380><c> around</c><00:22:42.619><c> and</c><00:22:42.740><c> say,</c><00:22:43.000><c> what</c><00:22:43.160><c> do</c><00:22:43.380><c> you</c><00:22:43.619><c> want?</c>

00:22:45.619 --> 00:22:49.940
And<00:22:45.779><c> we</c><00:22:45.920><c> might</c><00:22:46.140><c> say,</c><00:22:47.759><c> well,</c><00:22:47.960><c> we'll</c><00:22:49.299><c> think</c><00:22:49.539><c> about</c><00:22:49.759><c> it.</c>

00:22:49.980 --> 00:22:51.680

And<00:26:47.259><c> you</c><00:26:47.359><c> know</c><00:26:47.480><c> there</c><00:26:47.599><c> were</c><00:26:47.799><c> John</c><00:26:48.099><c> and</c><00:26:48.319><c> James</c>

00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:51.160
who<00:26:48.680><c> were</c><00:26:48.859><c> two</c><00:26:49.079><c> brethren</c><00:26:49.359><c> of</c><00:26:49.660><c> Peter</c><00:26:49.880><c> and</c><00:26:50.359><c> Andrew,</c><00:26:50.720><c> of</c><00:26:50.880><c> course.</c>

00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:53.839
And<00:26:51.440><c> we</c><00:26:51.539><c> know</c><00:26:51.660><c> that</c><00:26:51.920><c> John</c><00:26:52.279><c> and</c><00:26:52.519><c> James</c><00:26:52.839><c> and</c><00:26:53.119><c> Peter</c><00:26:53.259><c> were</c><00:26:53.579><c> oft</c>

00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:03.759
And<00:27:01.259><c> yet</c><00:27:01.400><c> it</c><00:27:01.500><c> was</c><00:27:01.680><c> Andrew</c><00:27:02.099><c> who</c><00:27:02.359><c> really</c><00:27:02.779><c> was</c><00:27:03.000><c> the</c><00:27:03.319><c> first</c><00:27:03.599><c> of</c>

those<00:27:04.039><c> disciples</c>

00:27:05.200 --> 00:27:10.539
who<00:27:05.700><c> sprang</c><00:27:06.180><c> to</c><00:27:06.380><c> his</c><00:27:06.579><c> Lord's</c><00:27:07.019><c> service</c><00:27:07.660><c> spontaneously</c><00:27:08.940><c> as</c><00:27:09.920><c> an</c><00:27:10.039><c> evangelist</c>

00:27:10.539 --> 00:27:13.380
and<00:27:10.680><c> went</c><00:27:10.839><c> and</c><00:27:11.019><c> got</c><00:27:11.119><c> his</c><00:27:11.440><c> brother</c><00:27:11.680><c> and</c><00:27:11.799><c> said,</c><00:27:11.880><c> we've</c><00:27:12.420><c> found</c><00:27:12.619><c> him.</c>

00:27:13.720 --> 00:27:15.539
From<00:27:14.099><c> then</c><00:27:14.279><c> on</c><00:27:14.380><c> he</c><00:27:14.680><c> fades</c><00:27:15.039><c> out</c><00:27:15.160><c> of</c><00:27:15.259><c> the</c><00:27:15.359><c> record.</c>

00:27:15.539 --> 00:27:17.920
And<00:27:15.660><c> his</c><00:27:15.839><c> brother,</c><00:27:16.160><c> of</c><00:27:16.319><c> course,</c><00:27:16.920><c> takes</c><00:27:17.119><c> prominence</c><00:27:17.599><c> in</c><00:27:17.720><c> that</c>

00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:19.420

00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:21.319
But<00:27:19.920><c> nonetheless,</c><00:27:20.619><c> brothers</c><00:27:20.759><c> and</c><00:27:20.940><c> sisters,</c>

00:27:21.619 --> 00:27:23.960
I<00:27:21.779><c> believe</c><00:27:22.019><c> it's</c><00:27:22.279><c> a</c><00:27:22.420><c> great</c><00:27:22.599><c> witness</c><00:27:22.900><c> to</c><00:27:23.140><c> Andrew's</c><00:27:23.619><c> character</c>

00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:27.240
that<00:27:24.319><c> he</c><00:27:24.680><c> sprang</c><00:27:25.160><c> to</c><00:27:25.319><c> his</c><00:27:25.519><c> Lord's</c><00:27:26.000><c> service</c><00:27:26.220><c> spontaneously</c>

00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:29.720
because<00:27:27.799><c> he'd</c><00:27:28.319><c> found</c><00:27:28.579><c> the</c><00:27:28.779><c> Messiah.</c>

00:27:30.460 --> 00:27:34.460
Now<00:27:30.720><c> it</c><00:27:30.980><c> says</c><00:27:31.660><c> in</c><00:27:32.980><c> verse</c><00:27:33.279><c> 41,</c>

00:27:34.859 --> 00:27:38.440

00:27:38.619 --> 00:27:41.700
And<00:27:38.839><c> I</c><00:27:39.099><c> believe</c><00:27:39.259><c> that</c><00:27:39.420><c> the</c><00:27:39.599><c> emphasis</c><00:27:39.960><c> on</c><00:27:40.220><c> the</c><00:27:40.420><c> two</c><00:27:40.579><c> words</c><00:27:40.880><c> first</c><00:27:41.480><c> and</c>

his<00:27:41.920><c> own</c>

00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:45.200
indicates<00:27:42.880><c> that</c><00:27:43.279><c> second</c><00:27:43.759><c> John</c><00:27:44.099><c> found</c><00:27:44.440><c> his</c><00:27:44.660><c> own</c><00:27:44.900><c> brother,</c>

00:27:45.539 --> 00:27:47.220
although<00:27:45.660><c> he</c><00:27:45.740><c> doesn't</c><00:27:45.980><c> say</c><00:27:46.259><c> that.</c>

00:27:48.099 --> 00:27:49.960
But<00:27:48.180><c> I</c><00:27:48.339><c> believe</c><00:27:48.559><c> that</c><00:27:48.759><c> the</c><00:27:49.039><c> way</c><00:27:49.240><c> it's</c><00:27:49.420><c> written</c><00:27:49.579><c> there,</c>

00:27:50.079 --> 00:27:52.220
he<00:27:50.440><c> first</c><00:27:50.960><c> findeth</c><00:27:51.480><c> his</c><00:27:51.640><c> own</c><00:27:51.920><c> brother,</c>

00:27:52.500 --> 00:27:55.940
John's<00:27:52.960><c> clearly</c><00:27:53.339><c> implied</c><00:27:53.880><c> that</c><00:27:54.380><c> secondly</c><00:27:54.700><c> he</c><00:27:54.900><c> went</c><00:27:55.079><c> and</c><00:27:55.380><c> found</c><00:27:55.539><c> his</c>

00:27:57.500 --> 00:27:59.319
That's<00:27:57.720><c> why</c><00:27:57.900><c> I</c><00:27:58.140><c> believe</c><00:27:58.259><c> there</c><00:27:58.400><c> were</c><00:27:58.539><c> six</c><00:27:58.819><c> in</c><00:27:58.920><c> this</c><00:27:59.119><c> first</c>

00:28:02.980 --> 00:28:05.400

00:31:21.900 --> 00:31:24.180
Now<00:31:22.119><c> we</c><00:31:22.220><c> need</c><00:31:22.420><c> to</c><00:31:22.619><c> remember</c><00:31:22.880><c> that</c><00:31:23.059><c> lesson</c><00:31:23.299><c> and</c><00:31:23.420><c> to</c><00:31:23.599><c> learn</c><00:31:23.740><c> it.</c>

00:31:31.799 --> 00:31:33.859
And<00:31:31.900><c> he'll</c><00:31:32.019><c> say</c><00:31:32.180><c> to</c><00:31:32.279><c> you,</c><00:31:32.640><c> come</c><00:31:32.940><c> now.</c>

00:31:34.579 --> 00:31:35.880

00:31:54.259 --> 00:31:56.480
We<00:31:54.680><c> have</c><00:31:55.039><c> found</c><00:31:55.240><c> the</c><00:31:55.460><c> Messiah.</c>

00:53:00.320 --> 00:53:02.360
Now<00:53:00.519><c> we</c><00:53:00.559><c> don't</c><00:53:00.719><c> know</c><00:53:00.820><c> why</c><00:53:01.340><c> that</c><00:53:01.559><c> he</c><00:53:01.699><c> picked</c><00:53:01.820><c> Philip,</c><00:53:02.079><c> we</c><00:53:02.219><c> don't</c>

00:53:06.340 --> 00:53:08.519
And<00:53:06.579><c> it's</c><00:53:06.820><c> fairly</c><00:53:07.039><c> obvious</c><00:53:07.539><c> from</c><00:53:07.840><c> the</c><00:53:08.019><c> record</c><00:53:08.260><c> here</c>

I<00:53:12.780><c> believe</c><00:53:13.019><c> they</c><00:53:13.159><c> were</c><00:53:13.320><c> all</c><00:53:13.519><c> John's</c><00:53:13.900><c> disciples.</c>

00:53:46.380 --> 00:53:48.179

tells<00:54:00.539><c> us.</c>

00:54:02.340 --> 00:54:04.280
And<00:54:02.460><c> just</c><00:54:02.679><c> by</c><00:54:02.880><c> a</c><00:54:03.059><c> couple</c><00:54:03.260><c> of</c><00:54:03.739><c> passages</c><00:54:04.000><c> of</c>

00:54:09.280 --> 00:54:10.239
Very<00:54:09.760><c> genuine</c>

man.<00:54:11.179><c> A</c><00:54:11.460><c> wonderful</c><00:54:11.900><c> brother.</c>

00:54:12.340 --> 00:54:14.280
No<00:54:12.679><c> question</c><00:54:13.119><c> of</c><00:54:13.380><c> that.</c><00:54:14.059><c> But</c><00:54:14.179><c> he</c>

00:54:17.420 --> 00:54:18.420
And<00:54:17.579><c> it</c><00:54:17.659><c> was</c><00:54:17.840><c> Philip,</c><00:54:18.280><c> you</c><00:54:18.280><c> know,</c>

00:54:18.559 --> 00:54:20.320
who,<00:54:18.820><c> when</c><00:54:19.000><c> the</c><00:54:19.280><c> Lord</c><00:54:19.559><c> fed</c><00:54:19.800><c> the</c><00:54:20.139><c> five</c>

00:54:20.320 --> 00:54:22.320

00:54:22.320 --> 00:54:24.340
because<00:54:22.480><c> he</c><00:54:22.559><c> was</c><00:54:22.739><c> by</c><00:54:23.000><c> Bethsaida.</c><00:54:23.679><c> And</c><00:54:23.820><c> Philip,</c><00:54:23.980><c> of</c><00:54:24.159><c> course,</c>

00:54:24.380 --> 00:54:26.420
was<00:54:24.539><c> a</c><00:54:24.739><c> native</c><00:54:24.880><c> of</c><00:54:25.059><c> Bethsaida.</c><00:54:25.719><c> He</c><00:54:25.800><c> said,</c><00:54:26.059><c> Philip,</c>

00:54:26.739 --> 00:54:28.340
how<00:54:26.960><c> many,</c><00:54:27.260><c> where</c><00:54:27.500><c> can</c><00:54:27.619><c> we</c><00:54:27.780><c> find</c><00:54:27.980><c> bread</c><00:54:28.179><c> for</c>

00:54:28.340 --> 00:54:30.480
so<00:54:28.500><c> many</c><00:54:28.659><c> people?</c><00:54:29.079><c> Philip</c><00:54:29.340><c> started</c><00:54:29.599><c> to</c><00:54:29.719><c> work</c><00:54:29.860><c> out</c><00:54:30.000><c> how</c><00:54:30.079><c> much</c><00:54:30.199><c> it</c>

00:54:30.480 --> 00:54:31.380
cost.

00:54:32.699 --> 00:54:34.500
The<00:54:32.800><c> Lord</c><00:54:32.960><c> was</c><00:54:33.199><c> deliberately</c><00:54:33.820><c> giving</c><00:54:34.079><c> him</c>

00:54:34.500 --> 00:54:36.460

00:54:36.460 --> 00:54:38.139
found<00:54:36.860><c> it</c><00:54:36.980><c> a</c><00:54:37.019><c> bit</c><00:54:37.179><c> difficult.</c>

00:54:38.320 --> 00:54:39.699
We're<00:54:38.420><c> not</c><00:54:38.539><c> belittling</c><00:54:38.900><c> him,</c><00:54:39.099><c> brethren</c><00:54:39.300><c> sisters.</c>

00:54:40.059 --> 00:54:42.280
Look,<00:54:40.460><c> it's</c><00:54:40.719><c> a</c><00:54:40.880><c> wonderful</c><00:54:41.199><c> thing</c><00:54:41.460><c> to</c><00:54:41.699><c> realize</c><00:54:42.079><c> that</c>

00:54:42.280 --> 00:54:44.239
God<00:54:42.519><c> doesn't</c><00:54:42.840><c> call</c><00:54:43.119><c> the</c><00:54:43.340><c> brilliant.</c>

00:54:45.159 --> 00:54:46.239
But<00:54:45.300><c> you</c><00:54:45.460><c> see,</c><00:54:45.699><c> with</c><00:54:45.760><c> Philip,</c>

00:54:46.559 --> 00:54:47.840
it's<00:54:46.920><c> a</c><00:54:47.119><c> gradual</c><00:54:47.460><c> thing.</c>

00:54:47.840 --> 00:54:49.840
God<00:54:48.519><c> wants</c><00:54:48.719><c> people</c><00:54:48.960><c> who</c><00:54:49.099><c> are</c><00:54:49.320><c> genuine</c>

00:54:49.840 --> 00:54:51.219
and<00:54:50.119><c> who</c><00:54:50.280><c> are</c><00:54:50.539><c> sincere.</c><00:54:50.800><c> It</c><00:54:50.800><c> doesn't</c><00:54:50.820><c> matter</c><00:54:50.960><c> whether</c><00:54:51.099><c> they</c>

00:54:51.219 --> 00:54:52.000
can<00:54:51.539><c> work</c><00:54:51.760><c> things</c>

00:54:52.000 --> 00:54:54.039

00:54:54.039 --> 00:54:56.059
came<00:54:54.380><c> later</c><00:54:54.679><c> on</c><00:54:54.800><c> in</c><00:54:54.920><c> John's</c><00:54:55.320><c> Gospel</c><00:54:55.460><c> when</c><00:54:55.639><c> he</c><00:54:55.719><c> said</c>

00:54:56.059 --> 00:54:58.440
when<00:54:56.440><c> Philip</c><00:54:56.699><c> says,</c><00:54:57.079><c> show</c><00:54:57.099><c> us</c><00:54:57.260><c> the</c><00:54:57.480><c> Father.</c>

00:54:59.179 --> 00:55:00.260
Now<00:54:59.340><c> you</c><00:54:59.460><c> listen</c><00:54:59.679><c> to</c><00:54:59.840><c> the</c><00:54:59.940><c> Lord's</c>

00:55:00.260 --> 00:55:02.619
answer<00:55:00.380><c> to</c><00:55:00.519><c> Philip</c><00:55:00.699><c> and</c><00:55:00.840><c> think</c><00:55:01.079><c> about</c><00:55:01.360><c> this.</c>

00:55:02.900 --> 00:55:04.119
He's<00:55:03.340><c> the</c><00:55:03.699><c> first</c>

00:55:04.119 --> 00:55:05.679
disciple<00:55:04.599><c> that</c><00:55:04.800><c> the</c><00:55:04.920><c> Lord</c><00:55:05.059><c> went</c><00:55:05.260><c> and</c><00:55:05.500><c> got.</c>

00:55:05.840 --> 00:55:07.800
And<00:55:05.960><c> he</c><00:55:06.000><c> said</c><00:55:06.159><c> to</c><00:55:06.260><c> Philip,</c><00:55:06.699><c> Philip,</c>

00:55:07.960 --> 00:55:09.940

00:55:09.940 --> 00:55:11.039
you?

00:55:12.199 --> 00:55:14.400
There<00:55:12.400><c> wasn't</c><00:55:12.760><c> any</c><00:55:13.000><c> of</c><00:55:13.159><c> them</c><00:55:13.260><c> like</c><00:55:13.579><c> that.</c>

00:55:15.360 --> 00:55:15.960
Oh,<00:55:15.639><c> yes.</c>

00:55:15.960 --> 00:55:18.659
Andrew<00:55:16.480><c> and</c><00:55:16.719><c> John</c><00:55:16.880><c> had</c><00:55:17.099><c> preceded</c><00:55:17.320><c> him</c><00:55:17.460><c> by</c><00:55:17.760><c> a</c><00:55:17.940><c> day.</c>

00:55:20.019 --> 00:55:21.920
But<00:55:20.300><c> he</c><00:55:20.699><c> alone</c><00:55:21.219><c> was</c><00:55:21.539><c> the</c><00:55:21.679><c> one</c>

00:55:25.559 --> 00:55:26.059
And<00:55:25.880><c> he</c>

00:55:29.760 --> 00:55:30.619
Philip,

00:55:31.039 --> 00:55:32.119
haven't<00:55:31.300><c> I</c><00:55:31.699><c> been</c><00:55:31.860><c> with</c>

you<00:55:32.840><c> so</c><00:55:33.340><c> long</c><00:55:33.599><c> a</c><00:55:33.760><c> time?</c>

00:55:33.980 --> 00:55:36.239
You<00:55:34.300><c> ought</c><00:55:34.480><c> to</c><00:55:34.639><c> know</c><00:55:34.820><c> if</c><00:55:35.059><c> anybody</c><00:55:35.420><c> should.</c>

And<00:55:36.980><c> then</c><00:55:37.139><c> he</c><00:55:37.219><c> said</c><00:55:37.420><c> to</c><00:55:37.500><c> him,</c>

00:58:41.880 --> 00:58:43.340
And<00:58:42.119><c> that's</c><00:58:42.360><c> what</c><00:58:42.539><c> the</c><00:58:42.739><c> record's</c><00:58:43.019><c> trying</c><00:58:43.179><c> to</c>

00:58:55.360 --> 00:58:56.360
That's<00:58:55.500><c> what</c><00:58:55.599><c> his</c><00:58:55.840><c> name</c><00:58:56.019><c> means,</c>

There's<00:58:59.340><c> been</c><00:58:59.539><c> much</c><00:58:59.719><c> speculation</c>

00:59:02.179 --> 00:59:04.079
it's<00:59:02.440><c> fairly</c><00:59:02.800><c> certain,</c><00:59:03.500><c> brothers</c><00:59:03.619><c> and</c><00:59:03.880><c> sisters,</c>

As<01:02:05.320><c> far</c><01:02:05.519><c> as</c><01:02:05.579><c> they'd</c><01:02:05.860><c> got</c><01:02:05.980><c> was</c><01:02:06.159><c> quite</c><01:02:06.500><c> marvelous.</c>

01:02:06.940 --> 01:02:09.619
They<01:02:06.980><c> had</c><01:02:07.059><c> a</c><01:02:07.119><c> long</c><01:02:07.340><c> way</c><01:02:07.539><c> to</c><01:02:07.719><c> go.</c><01:02:08.099><c> Son</c><01:02:08.340><c> of</c><01:02:08.480><c> Joseph.</c>

01:02:10.539 --> 01:02:11.440
Nathaniel,<01:02:11.000><c> when</c><01:02:11.179><c> he</c><01:02:11.300><c> met</c>

01:02:14.980 --> 01:02:16.039
The<01:02:15.380><c> two</c><01:02:15.659><c> friends</c>

01:02:16.039 --> 01:02:17.760

01:02:20.059 --> 01:02:21.820
And<01:02:20.159><c> I</c><01:02:20.360><c> believe</c><01:02:21.000><c> that</c><01:02:21.460><c> Nathaniel</c>

I<01:02:26.340><c> don't</c><01:02:26.519><c> believe</c><01:02:26.739><c> any</c><01:02:26.960><c> of</c><01:02:27.019><c> them</c><01:02:27.099><c> did</c><01:02:27.199><c> at</c><01:02:27.320><c> this</c><01:02:27.559><c> stage,</c>

01:02:31.920 --> 01:02:33.840

01:02:48.519 --> 01:02:50.199

01:02:56.639 --> 01:02:58.039
Well,<01:02:56.800><c> when</c><01:02:56.920><c> you</c><01:02:57.000><c> think</c><01:02:57.179><c> about</c><01:02:57.400><c> it,</c><01:02:57.599><c> brothers</c><01:02:57.699><c> and</c><01:02:57.880><c> sisters,</c>

01:03:06.400 --> 01:03:08.940
But<01:03:06.679><c> Nathaniel</c><01:03:07.239><c> is</c><01:03:07.480><c> a</c><01:03:07.659><c> Galilean.</c>

And<01:03:09.719><c> he</c><01:03:09.940><c> says,</c>

01:03:12.500 --> 01:03:13.400
Nazareth?

01:03:14.639 --> 01:03:16.420
If<01:03:15.019><c> Galilee</c><01:03:15.519><c> was</c><01:03:15.780><c> in</c><01:03:15.980><c> contempt,</c>

01:03:16.559 --> 01:03:18.940
that's<01:03:16.940><c> the</c><01:03:17.059><c> opinion</c><01:03:17.360><c> of</c><01:03:17.539><c> a</c><01:03:17.719><c> Galilean.</c>

01:03:19.360 --> 01:03:21.880

01:05:12.440 --> 01:05:14.019
So<01:05:12.539><c> he</c><01:05:12.699><c> came</c><01:05:12.980><c> and</c><01:05:13.260><c> saw.</c>

01:05:34.179 --> 01:05:35.300

01:05:45.099 --> 01:05:47.280

01:15:21.140 --> 01:15:23.560
Matthew<01:15:21.359><c> said,</c><01:15:21.760><c> I</c><01:15:21.760><c> saw</c><01:15:22.000><c> the</c><01:15:22.239><c> heavens</c><01:15:22.500><c> open.</c>

01:15:23.699 --> 01:15:25.140
The<01:15:23.819><c> thing</c><01:15:24.000><c> about</c><01:15:24.239><c> Nathanael</c><01:15:24.760><c> was</c>

01:15:25.140 --> 01:15:27.359
he's<01:15:25.600><c> going</c><01:15:25.680><c> to</c><01:15:25.840><c> be</c><01:15:26.039><c> shown</c><01:15:26.300><c> it.</c>

01:15:27.500 --> 01:15:29.100
It's<01:15:27.840><c> not</c><01:15:27.960><c> going</c><01:15:28.079><c> to</c><01:15:28.239><c> happen</c><01:15:28.399><c> hereafter.</c>

01:15:29.340 --> 01:15:31.340
He's<01:15:29.619><c> going</c><01:15:29.720><c> to</c><01:15:29.859><c> be</c><01:15:30.079><c> shown</c><01:15:30.279><c> it.</c>

01:15:31.439 --> 01:15:32.899
And<01:15:31.619><c> what</c><01:15:31.720><c> are</c><01:15:31.739><c> you</c><01:15:31.800><c> going</c><01:15:31.920><c> to</c><01:15:32.119><c> see?</c>

01:15:33.100 --> 01:15:35.380
The<01:15:33.359><c> angels</c><01:15:33.619><c> of</c><01:15:33.899><c> God</c>

01:15:35.920 --> 01:15:37.420
ascending<01:15:36.399><c> and</c><01:15:36.880><c> descending</c>

01:15:37.420 --> 01:15:39.239
upon<01:15:37.880><c> the</c><01:15:38.079><c> son</c><01:15:38.220><c> of</c><01:15:38.399><c> man.</c>

01:15:39.920 --> 01:15:41.340
Now<01:15:40.159><c> we</c><01:15:40.300><c> know</c><01:15:40.579><c> that's</c><01:15:40.899><c> the</c><01:15:40.960><c> life</c><01:15:41.100><c> of</c>

01:15:41.340 --> 01:15:43.140
Jacob,<01:15:41.739><c> don't</c><01:15:41.739><c> we,</c><01:15:42.000><c> brethren</c><01:15:42.100><c> and</c><01:15:42.380><c> sisters?</c>

01:15:43.159 --> 01:15:45.140
Jacob<01:15:43.640><c> came</c><01:15:43.880><c> to</c><01:15:44.100><c> Bethel</c>

01:15:45.279 --> 01:15:46.960
and<01:15:45.680><c> he</c><01:15:45.800><c> took</c><01:15:45.939><c> a</c><01:15:46.180><c> stone</c><01:15:46.380><c> for</c><01:15:46.539><c> his</c><01:15:46.739><c> pillow</c>

01:15:46.960 --> 01:15:48.039
and<01:15:47.140><c> he</c><01:15:47.260><c> lay</c><01:15:47.359><c> him</c><01:15:47.539><c> down</c><01:15:47.699><c> to</c><01:15:47.880><c> sleep.</c>

01:15:48.159 --> 01:15:49.560
And<01:15:48.279><c> behold,</c><01:15:48.500><c> he</c><01:15:48.720><c> dreamed.</c>

01:15:50.060 --> 01:15:52.000
And<01:15:50.180><c> he</c><01:15:50.439><c> saw</c><01:15:50.760><c> a</c><01:15:50.960><c> set</c><01:15:51.020><c>-up</c><01:15:51.159><c> on</c><01:15:51.319><c> the</c><01:15:51.539><c> earth,</c>

01:15:52.380 --> 01:15:53.840
a<01:15:52.680><c> staircase.</c>

01:15:54.659 --> 01:15:56.699
Better<01:15:54.819><c> understood</c><01:15:55.220><c> in</c><01:15:55.420><c> Hebrew</c><01:15:55.880><c> as</c><01:15:56.100><c> a</c><01:15:56.340><c> staircase</c>

01:15:56.699 --> 01:15:57.979
reaching<01:15:57.479><c> unto</c><01:15:57.720><c> heaven.</c>

01:15:58.100 --> 01:16:00.500
And<01:15:58.199><c> he</c><01:15:58.340><c> saw</c><01:15:58.500><c> the</c><01:15:58.739><c> angels</c><01:15:58.979><c> of</c><01:15:59.239><c> God</c><01:15:59.539><c> ascending</c>

01:16:00.500 --> 01:16:03.199
and<01:16:01.199><c> descending</c><01:16:01.899><c> upon</c><01:16:02.300><c> him.</c>

01:16:03.600 --> 01:16:04.779
What's<01:16:04.079><c> the</c><01:16:04.180><c> meaning</c><01:16:04.319><c> of</c><01:16:04.520><c> that?</c>

01:16:05.079 --> 01:16:06.539
Well,<01:16:05.239><c> the</c><01:16:05.539><c> order</c><01:16:05.739><c> is</c><01:16:06.100><c> important.</c>

01:16:06.939 --> 01:16:08.779
He<01:16:07.180><c> didn't</c><01:16:07.420><c> see</c><01:16:07.659><c> them</c><01:16:08.079><c> descending</c>

01:16:08.779 --> 01:16:09.720
and<01:16:09.239><c> ascending.</c>

01:16:09.720 --> 01:16:12.300
He<01:16:10.180><c> saw</c><01:16:10.420><c> them</c><01:16:10.739><c> ascending</c><01:16:11.439><c> and</c><01:16:11.880><c> descending.</c>

01:16:12.380 --> 01:16:13.760
And<01:16:12.500><c> that's</c><01:16:12.720><c> important.</c>

01:16:13.920 --> 01:16:15.800
Because<01:16:14.100><c> had</c><01:16:14.359><c> he</c><01:16:14.460><c> seen</c><01:16:14.699><c> them</c><01:16:15.199><c> descending</c>

01:16:15.800 --> 01:16:17.659
and<01:16:16.079><c> ascending,</c><01:16:16.479><c> they</c><01:16:16.600><c> would</c><01:16:16.779><c> have</c><01:16:16.979><c> started</c><01:16:17.279><c> in</c><01:16:17.520><c> heaven</c>

01:16:17.659 --> 01:16:19.159
and<01:16:17.859><c> finished</c><01:16:18.180><c> in</c><01:16:18.420><c> heaven.</c>

01:16:19.180 --> 01:16:21.880
But<01:16:19.439><c> because</c><01:16:19.819><c> they</c><01:16:20.000><c> were</c><01:16:20.239><c> ascending</c><01:16:20.819><c> from</c><01:16:21.060><c> him</c><01:16:21.220><c> and</c><01:16:21.460><c> descending,</c>

01:16:22.140 --> 01:16:24.140
they<01:16:22.460><c> started</c><01:16:22.739><c> with</c><01:16:22.920><c> him</c><01:16:23.060><c> and</c><01:16:23.359><c> finished</c><01:16:23.659><c> with</c><01:16:23.840><c> him.</c>

01:16:24.359 --> 01:16:25.460
And<01:16:24.579><c> God</c><01:16:24.840><c> said</c><01:16:25.060><c> to</c><01:16:25.239><c> Jacob,</c>

01:16:25.859 --> 01:16:27.579
I<01:16:26.340><c> will</c><01:16:26.659><c> be</c><01:16:26.979><c> with</c><01:16:27.279><c> you</c>

01:16:27.579 --> 01:16:30.000
in<01:16:27.920><c> all</c><01:16:28.300><c> places</c><01:16:28.680><c> with</c><01:16:28.880><c> you,</c><01:16:29.239><c> you</c><01:16:29.239><c> ghosts.</c>

01:16:30.680 --> 01:16:32.199
So<01:16:30.960><c> the</c><01:16:31.220><c> vision</c><01:16:31.439><c> of</c><01:16:31.619><c> the</c><01:16:31.819><c> staircase</c>

01:16:32.199 --> 01:16:34.060
taught<01:16:32.560><c> Jacob</c><01:16:32.899><c> that</c><01:16:33.340><c> everywhere</c>

01:16:34.060 --> 01:16:35.140
he<01:16:34.340><c> went,</c><01:16:34.500><c> God</c><01:16:34.720><c> was</c><01:16:34.920><c> with</c><01:16:35.039><c> him.</c>

01:16:35.140 --> 01:16:37.819
Because<01:16:35.420><c> wherever</c><01:16:35.739><c> the</c><01:16:35.979><c> angels</c><01:16:36.180><c> started,</c><01:16:36.680><c> there</c><01:16:36.779><c> they</c><01:16:36.960><c> finished.</c>

01:16:38.159 --> 01:16:40.000
I<01:16:38.640><c> will</c><01:16:39.020><c> be</c><01:16:39.300><c> with</c><01:16:39.539><c> you</c>

01:16:40.000 --> 01:16:41.659
in<01:16:40.359><c> every</c><01:16:40.720><c> place</c><01:16:41.100><c> where</c><01:16:41.260><c> you</c><01:16:41.399><c> go.</c>

01:16:41.960 --> 01:16:43.500
Now,<01:16:42.159><c> what</c><01:16:42.359><c> was</c><01:16:42.640><c> the</c><01:16:42.939><c> greater</c><01:16:43.199><c> thing</c>

01:16:43.500 --> 01:16:44.680
that<01:16:43.720><c> Nathaniel</c><01:16:43.939><c> was</c><01:16:44.140><c> going</c><01:16:44.260><c> to</c><01:16:44.460><c> see?</c>

01:16:45.039 --> 01:16:47.819
Look,<01:16:45.380><c> brethren</c><01:16:45.560><c> and</c><01:16:45.800><c> sisters,</c><01:16:46.399><c> back</c><01:16:46.600><c> at</c><01:16:46.779><c> verse</c><01:16:47.060><c> 33</c>

01:16:48.779 --> 01:16:50.039
of<01:16:49.260><c> this</c><01:16:49.460><c> very</c><01:16:49.760><c> chapter</c>

01:16:50.039 --> 01:16:52.180
we're<01:16:50.279><c> in,</c><01:16:50.399><c> John</c><01:16:50.680><c> chapter</c><01:16:51.000><c> 1.</c>

01:16:52.399 --> 01:16:54.460
And<01:16:52.420><c> John</c><01:16:52.720><c> says,</c><01:16:53.020><c> I</c><01:16:53.060><c> knew</c><01:16:53.260><c> him</c><01:16:53.500><c> not,</c>

01:16:54.520 --> 01:16:55.659
but<01:16:54.760><c> he</c><01:16:54.960><c> that</c><01:16:55.140><c> sent</c><01:16:55.319><c> me</c><01:16:55.500><c> to</c>

01:16:55.659 --> 01:16:57.859
baptize<01:16:56.100><c> with</c><01:16:56.340><c> water,</c><01:16:56.699><c> the</c><01:16:56.920><c> same</c><01:16:57.159><c> said</c><01:16:57.319><c> unto</c><01:16:57.539><c> me,</c>

01:16:57.979 --> 01:16:59.819
upon<01:16:58.239><c> whom</c><01:16:58.579><c> thou</c><01:16:58.840><c> shalt</c><01:16:59.060><c> see</c><01:16:59.220><c> the</c><01:16:59.520><c> spirit</c>

01:16:59.819 --> 01:17:02.560
descending<01:17:00.380><c> and</c><01:17:01.319><c> remaining.</c>

01:17:04.100 --> 01:17:06.039
There's<01:17:04.520><c> the</c><01:17:04.720><c> greater</c><01:17:04.880><c> thing,</c><01:17:05.220><c> brethren</c><01:17:05.399><c> and</c><01:17:05.680><c> sisters.</c>

01:17:06.039 --> 01:17:08.539
So<01:17:06.899><c> there</c><01:17:07.079><c> might</c><01:17:07.319><c> have</c><01:17:07.539><c> been</c>

01:17:08.819 --> 01:17:10.500
an<01:17:09.300><c> ascension</c><01:17:09.680><c> of</c><01:17:09.960><c> angels</c>

01:17:10.500 --> 01:17:13.260
and<01:17:11.300><c> a</c><01:17:11.479><c> descension</c><01:17:11.960><c> of</c><01:17:12.239><c> angels</c><01:17:12.439><c> upon</c><01:17:12.840><c> Jacob.</c>

01:17:13.340 --> 01:17:14.699
There<01:17:13.579><c> might</c><01:17:13.800><c> have</c><01:17:13.899><c> been</c><01:17:14.020><c> a</c><01:17:14.180><c> never</c><01:17:14.439><c>-ending</c>

01:17:14.699 --> 01:17:16.380
cycle<01:17:15.140><c> of</c><01:17:15.380><c> angelic</c><01:17:15.739><c> ministration.</c>

01:17:16.520 --> 01:17:18.319
But<01:17:16.739><c> when</c><01:17:16.880><c> it</c><01:17:17.000><c> come</c><01:17:17.079><c> to</c><01:17:17.260><c> our</c><01:17:17.399><c> Lord</c><01:17:17.579><c> Jesus</c><01:17:18.000><c> Christ</c>

01:17:18.319 --> 01:17:20.500
and<01:17:18.720><c> Nathaniel's</c><01:17:19.319><c> eyes</c><01:17:19.420><c> are</c><01:17:19.539><c> going</c><01:17:19.579><c> to</c><01:17:19.680><c> be</c><01:17:20.060><c> wide</c><01:17:20.319><c> open</c>

01:17:20.500 --> 01:17:22.399
to<01:17:20.720><c> see</c><01:17:20.899><c> this,</c><01:17:21.560><c> he</c><01:17:21.699><c> would</c><01:17:21.840><c> see</c><01:17:21.979><c> the</c><01:17:22.180><c> heavens</c>

01:17:22.399 --> 01:17:24.300
open,<01:17:23.119><c> but</c><01:17:23.420><c> this</c><01:17:23.880><c> time</c>

01:17:24.300 --> 01:17:26.699
he<01:17:24.779><c> wouldn't</c><01:17:25.020><c> see</c><01:17:25.239><c> the</c><01:17:25.479><c> spirit</c><01:17:25.699><c> start</c><01:17:26.000><c> from</c><01:17:26.279><c> here.</c>

01:17:26.899 --> 01:17:28.260
He'd<01:17:27.300><c> see</c><01:17:27.399><c> the</c><01:17:27.699><c> spirit</c><01:17:27.939><c> start</c>

from<01:17:28.699><c> there.</c>

01:17:31.239 --> 01:17:32.239
