compliment<00:02:35.800><c> to</c><00:02:36.060><c> say</c><00:02:36.240><c> that</c><00:02:36.400><c> the</c><00:02:36.659><c> study</c><00:02:36.840><c> weekend</c><00:02:37.180><c> was</c><00:02:37.500><c> wicked.</c>

00:02:39.900 --> 00:02:41.960
Other<00:02:40.159><c> people</c><00:02:40.419><c> might</c><00:02:40.639><c> not</c><00:02:40.879><c> understand</c><00:02:41.219><c> that.</c>

00:02:46.580 --> 00:02:51.080
I<00:02:47.139><c> think</c><00:02:47.400><c> in</c><00:02:47.599><c> this</c><00:02:48.180><c> session</c><00:02:49.020><c> today</c><00:02:49.379><c> we're</c><00:02:50.259><c> probably</c><00:02:50.819><c> going</c><00:02:51.000><c> to</c>

00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:52.280
be<00:02:51.240><c> moving</c><00:02:51.460><c> a</c><00:02:51.599><c> little</c><00:02:51.740><c> bit</c><00:02:52.000><c> quickly,</c>

00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:55.159
and<00:02:52.599><c> I'm</c><00:02:52.780><c> going</c><00:02:52.900><c> to</c><00:02:53.000><c> ask</c><00:02:53.219><c> you</c><00:02:53.379><c> to</c><00:02:54.159><c> have</c><00:02:54.280><c> your</c><00:02:54.500><c> Bibles</c><00:02:54.780><c> ready</c>

and<00:02:55.360><c> maybe</c><00:02:55.680><c> notes.</c>

00:02:57.020 --> 00:02:59.219
We're<00:02:57.159><c> talking</c><00:02:57.400><c> about</c><00:02:57.580><c> something</c><00:02:57.860><c> rather</c><00:02:58.159><c> important.</c>

00:02:59.960 --> 00:03:03.580
We've<00:03:00.520><c> talked</c><00:03:00.699><c> about</c><00:03:01.139><c> who</c><00:03:01.379><c> Jesus</c><00:03:01.699><c> was</c><00:03:02.000><c> foretold</c><00:03:02.379><c> to</c><00:03:02.599><c> be,</c><00:03:03.360><c> who</c>

00:03:03.580 --> 00:03:06.300
he<00:03:04.280><c> was,</c><00:03:05.240><c> who</c><00:03:05.460><c> he</c><00:03:05.680><c> is,</c>

00:03:06.300 --> 00:03:09.219
and<00:03:07.060><c> this</c><00:03:07.419><c> session</c><00:03:07.819><c> we're</c><00:03:08.080><c> going</c><00:03:08.240><c> to</c><00:03:08.419><c> be</c><00:03:08.560><c> talking</c><00:03:08.860><c> about</c><00:03:09.039><c> who</c>

00:03:09.219 --> 00:03:10.719
he<00:03:09.460><c> is</c><00:03:09.780><c> not.</c>

00:03:11.620 --> 00:03:14.000
It's<00:03:12.060><c> unfortunate</c><00:03:12.500><c> that</c><00:03:12.759><c> we</c><00:03:12.879><c> have</c><00:03:13.039><c> to</c><00:03:13.199><c> talk</c><00:03:13.400><c> about</c><00:03:13.620><c> this,</c>

00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:19.620
but<00:03:14.340><c> it</c><00:03:14.639><c> really</c><00:03:15.020><c> does</c><00:03:15.780><c> play</c><00:03:16.039><c> into</c><00:03:16.939><c> our</c><00:03:17.319><c> understanding</c><00:03:17.960><c> and</c><00:03:18.879><c> appreciation</c><00:03:19.400><c> of</c>

00:03:19.620 --> 00:03:20.699
his<00:03:19.840><c> work.</c>

00:03:21.620 --> 00:03:24.219
We<00:03:21.759><c> had</c><00:03:21.939><c> an</c><00:03:22.120><c> experience</c><00:03:22.479><c> that</c><00:03:22.719><c> I</c><00:03:22.939><c> mentioned</c><00:03:23.219><c> briefly</c><00:03:23.580><c> last</c><00:03:23.879><c> night,</c><00:03:24.020><c> but</c><00:03:24.139><c> I</c>

00:03:24.219 --> 00:03:25.060
didn't<00:03:24.300><c> go</c><00:03:24.460><c> into</c><00:03:24.599><c> details.</c>

00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:27.520
Some<00:03:25.520><c> of</c><00:03:25.620><c> you</c><00:03:25.699><c> might</c><00:03:25.860><c> know</c><00:03:26.080><c> about</c><00:03:26.280><c> it,</c><00:03:26.800><c> where</c><00:03:26.960><c> we</c><00:03:27.080><c> were</c><00:03:27.300><c> having</c>

00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:34.719
You<00:03:32.460><c> know,</c><00:03:33.060><c> we</c><00:03:33.139><c> had</c><00:03:33.139><c> a</c><00:03:33.139><c> small</c><00:03:33.460><c> meeting,</c><00:03:33.840><c> and</c><00:03:33.979><c> we</c><00:03:34.080><c> were</c><00:03:34.199><c> really</c><00:03:34.500><c> enthused.</c>

00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:37.219
We'd<00:03:35.020><c> had</c><00:03:35.139><c> one,</c><00:03:35.379><c> and</c><00:03:35.539><c> it</c><00:03:35.539><c> had</c><00:03:35.719><c> been</c><00:03:35.840><c> just</c><00:03:36.060><c> enormously</c><00:03:36.560><c> successful,</c>

00:03:37.219 --> 00:03:41.539
and<00:03:37.360><c> it's</c><00:03:38.879><c> a</c><00:03:39.000><c> nice</c><00:03:39.199><c> thing</c><00:03:39.400><c> to</c><00:03:39.580><c> be</c><00:03:39.759><c> able</c><00:03:39.919><c> to</c><00:03:40.319><c> help</c><00:03:40.560><c> people</c><00:03:41.080><c> read</c>

00:03:41.539 --> 00:03:42.620
their<00:03:41.759><c> Bible.</c>

00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:45.379
That's<00:03:43.280><c> a</c><00:03:43.520><c> great</c><00:03:43.680><c> thing,</c><00:03:44.080><c> that</c><00:03:44.199><c> seminar</c><00:03:44.520><c> series.</c>

00:03:46.099 --> 00:03:49.240
Well,<00:03:46.240><c> the</c><00:03:46.360><c> first</c><00:03:46.560><c> night,</c><00:03:47.360><c> the</c><00:03:47.580><c> second</c><00:03:47.740><c> time</c><00:03:47.939><c> we</c><00:03:48.099><c> did</c><00:03:48.280><c> it,</c>

00:03:49.300 --> 00:03:52.460
there<00:03:49.479><c> were</c><00:03:49.919><c> two</c><00:03:50.180><c> groups</c><00:03:50.400><c> of</c><00:03:50.659><c> people</c><00:03:50.900><c> posted</c><00:03:51.620><c> out</c><00:03:52.199><c> front</c><00:03:52.300><c> of</c>

the<00:03:52.639><c> building,</c>

00:03:53.699 --> 00:03:55.400
the<00:03:53.840><c> public</c><00:03:54.120><c> building</c><00:03:54.419><c> where</c><00:03:54.580><c> we</c><00:03:54.759><c> had</c><00:03:54.900><c> it,</c>

00:03:55.620 --> 00:03:58.379
with<00:03:55.800><c> boxes</c><00:03:56.199><c> of</c><00:03:56.500><c> leaflets</c><00:03:57.020><c> that</c><00:03:57.520><c> they</c><00:03:57.659><c> were</c><00:03:57.860><c> distributing</c><00:03:58.139><c> to</c>

00:03:58.379 --> 00:04:02.000
people<00:03:58.819><c> and</c><00:03:59.319><c> discouraging</c><00:04:00.099><c> people</c><00:04:00.500><c> from</c><00:04:01.099><c> attending,</c>

00:04:02.340 --> 00:04:06.039
and<00:04:02.639><c> over</c><00:04:03.039><c> half</c><00:04:03.300><c> of</c><00:04:03.520><c> the</c><00:04:03.780><c> registrants</c><00:04:04.300><c> were</c><00:04:04.699><c> turned</c><00:04:04.919><c> away.</c>

00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:13.319
And<00:04:09.060><c> they</c><00:04:09.759><c> used</c><00:04:10.500><c> the</c><00:04:10.919><c> term</c><00:04:11.159><c> cult</c><00:04:11.620><c> to</c><00:04:12.319><c> describe</c><00:04:12.699><c> us,</c><00:04:12.860><c> which</c><00:04:13.000><c> I</c>

00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:15.659
find<00:04:13.620><c> really,</c><00:04:14.300><c> really</c><00:04:14.699><c> offensive.</c>

00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:17.920
I<00:04:15.900><c> mean,</c><00:04:16.139><c> it's</c><00:04:16.779><c> dishonest,</c><00:04:17.600><c> really.</c>

00:04:17.939 --> 00:04:21.920
It's<00:04:18.180><c> a</c><00:04:18.360><c> despicable</c><00:04:18.800><c> thing</c><00:04:19.180><c> to</c><00:04:20.300><c> accuse</c><00:04:21.019><c> people</c><00:04:21.480><c> that</c><00:04:21.660><c> you</c>

00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:23.000
disagree<00:04:22.300><c> with</c>

00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:26.500
of<00:04:23.560><c> being</c><00:04:23.959><c> like</c><00:04:24.240><c> Jim</c><00:04:24.459><c> Jones</c><00:04:24.839><c> and</c><00:04:25.160><c> Waco</c><00:04:25.519><c> and</c><00:04:25.740><c> all</c><00:04:25.939><c> the</c><00:04:26.160><c> wackos</c>

00:04:26.500 --> 00:04:28.120
that<00:04:26.680><c> there</c><00:04:26.939><c> are,</c>

00:04:28.259 --> 00:04:32.939
the<00:04:28.420><c> ones</c><00:04:28.600><c> who</c><00:04:28.939><c> follow</c><00:04:29.259><c> some</c><00:04:29.699><c> leader</c><00:04:30.100><c> who</c><00:04:30.420><c> has</c><00:04:30.639><c> a</c><00:04:30.879><c> mind</c><00:04:31.240><c> controlled</c><00:04:31.779><c> and</c><00:04:32.060><c> brainwashed.</c>

00:04:32.939 --> 00:04:36.079
You<00:04:33.220><c> know,</c><00:04:33.980><c> you</c><00:04:33.980><c> don't</c><00:04:33.980><c> agree</c><00:04:34.220><c> with</c><00:04:34.319><c> them,</c><00:04:34.420><c> so</c><00:04:34.540><c> you</c><00:04:34.699><c> call</c><00:04:34.879><c> them</c><00:04:35.060><c> names.</c>

00:04:36.660 --> 00:04:39.040
And<00:04:37.019><c> it</c><00:04:37.319><c> was</c><00:04:37.480><c> very</c><00:04:37.800><c> sad</c><00:04:38.000><c> what</c><00:04:38.139><c> happened.</c>

00:04:40.180 --> 00:04:43.500
It<00:04:40.540><c> was</c><00:04:40.680><c> pretty</c><00:04:41.279><c> upsetting</c><00:04:41.620><c> to</c><00:04:41.839><c> us,</c><00:04:42.579><c> especially</c><00:04:43.019><c> to</c><00:04:43.199><c> see</c><00:04:43.319><c> so</c>

00:04:43.500 --> 00:04:45.019
many<00:04:43.620><c> people</c><00:04:43.839><c> turned</c><00:04:44.060><c> away.</c>

00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:50.620
On<00:04:48.079><c> the</c><00:04:48.199><c> other</c><00:04:48.379><c> hand,</c><00:04:48.660><c> the</c><00:04:48.759><c> brother</c><00:04:49.300><c> Ryan</c><00:04:50.019><c> Mutter,</c><00:04:50.379><c> I</c><00:04:50.480><c> don't</c>

00:04:50.620 --> 00:04:51.379
know<00:04:50.680><c> if</c><00:04:50.759><c> you</c><00:04:50.879><c> know</c><00:04:51.000><c> him</c><00:04:51.180><c> or</c><00:04:51.259><c> not,</c>

00:04:51.459 --> 00:04:55.660
but<00:04:51.600><c> Brian</c><00:04:51.800><c> Rudder</c><00:04:52.000><c> was</c><00:04:52.899><c> brother</c><00:04:53.279><c> Ryan</c><00:04:54.139><c> Mutter,</c><00:04:54.839><c> not</c><00:04:55.019><c> Mayan</c><00:04:55.339><c> Rudder.</c>

00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:57.100
That's<00:04:56.300><c> different.</c>

00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:00.319
He<00:04:58.579><c> came</c><00:04:58.680><c> to</c><00:04:58.800><c> our</c><00:04:58.920><c> Bible</c><00:04:59.199><c> class</c><00:04:59.620><c> later</c><00:04:59.959><c> in</c><00:05:00.120><c> the</c><00:05:00.199><c> week.</c>

00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:02.120
He<00:05:00.439><c> hadn't</c><00:05:00.660><c> been</c><00:05:00.879><c> out</c><00:05:01.120><c> for</c><00:05:01.680><c> the</c><00:05:01.800><c> seminar.</c>

Look<00:10:03.899><c> at</c><00:10:03.960><c> Luke</c><00:10:04.179><c> 1,</c><00:10:04.440><c> verse</c><00:10:04.679><c> 35.</c>

00:10:05.259 --> 00:10:07.259
The<00:10:05.860><c> angel</c><00:10:06.259><c> said</c><00:10:06.519><c> to</c><00:10:06.720><c> Mary,</c><00:10:06.879><c> Mary</c><00:10:07.100><c> says,</c>

00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:10.360
how<00:10:07.419><c> am</c><00:10:07.600><c> I</c><00:10:07.620><c> going</c><00:10:07.720><c> to</c><00:10:07.799><c> have</c><00:10:07.919><c> a</c><00:10:08.100><c> child</c><00:10:08.419><c> seeing</c><00:10:09.159><c> I'm</c><00:10:09.440><c> a</c><00:10:09.600><c> virgin?</c>

00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:15.220
And<00:10:11.539><c> the</c><00:10:11.860><c> angel</c><00:10:12.159><c> answered,</c><00:10:12.899><c> verse</c><00:10:13.059><c> 35,</c><00:10:13.600><c> and</c><00:10:13.820><c> said</c><00:10:13.919><c> unto</c><00:10:14.179><c> her,</c>

00:10:15.419 --> 00:10:18.240
the<00:10:15.600><c> Holy</c><00:10:16.000><c> Spirit</c><00:10:16.379><c> shall</c><00:10:16.580><c> come</c><00:10:16.799><c> upon</c><00:10:17.200><c> thee,</c>

00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:28.539
Therefore<00:10:23.720><c> also</c><00:10:24.279><c> that</c><00:10:24.860><c> holy</c><00:10:25.399><c> thing</c><00:10:26.080><c> which</c><00:10:26.779><c> shall</c><00:10:27.019><c> be</c><00:10:27.279><c> born</c><00:10:27.480><c> of</c><00:10:27.740><c> thee</c>

00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:36.440
That's<00:10:33.480><c> pretty</c><00:10:33.700><c> well</c><00:10:33.960><c> inescapable</c><00:10:34.539><c> as</c><00:10:34.720><c> far</c><00:10:34.860><c> as</c><00:10:34.980><c> I</c><00:10:35.120><c> see</c><00:10:35.299><c> it.</c>

00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:38.860
It<00:10:36.820><c> doesn't</c><00:10:37.059><c> say</c><00:10:37.399><c> that</c><00:10:37.700><c> holy</c><00:10:37.980><c> thing</c><00:10:38.159><c> that</c><00:10:38.259><c> you're</c><00:10:38.440><c> going</c><00:10:38.620><c> to,</c>

00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.299
He<00:10:41.539><c> shall</c><00:10:41.840><c> be</c><00:10:42.259><c> called</c><00:10:42.559><c> the</c><00:10:42.779><c> Son</c><00:10:42.940><c> of</c><00:10:43.120><c> God.</c>

00:10:43.340 --> 00:10:44.639
He's<00:10:43.580><c> not</c><00:10:43.740><c> the</c><00:10:43.899><c> Son</c><00:10:44.039><c> of</c><00:10:44.200><c> God</c><00:10:44.399><c> yet.</c>

In<00:10:45.360><c> fact,</c><00:10:45.519><c> I</c><00:10:45.639><c> think</c><00:10:45.820><c> also</c><00:10:46.139><c> this</c><00:10:46.379><c> verse</c><00:10:46.600><c> has</c><00:10:46.779><c> a</c><00:10:46.960><c> pretty</c><00:10:47.159><c> good</c><00:10:47.399><c> working</c>

00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:52.940
The<00:10:51.220><c> Holy</c><00:10:51.620><c> Spirit</c><00:10:52.000><c> shall</c><00:10:52.159><c> come</c><00:10:52.320><c> upon</c><00:10:52.659><c> thee,</c>

00:10:56.980 --> 00:10:59.860
Typical<00:10:57.419><c> biblical</c><00:10:57.860><c> usage</c><00:10:58.360><c> to</c><00:10:58.639><c> repeat</c><00:10:59.279><c> itself</c>

00:11:05.460 --> 00:11:09.019
Strange<00:11:05.840><c> that</c><00:11:06.100><c> in</c><00:11:06.320><c> neither</c><00:11:06.539><c> of</c><00:11:06.759><c> these</c><00:11:06.980><c> cases</c><00:11:07.539><c> where</c><00:11:08.139><c> the</c><00:11:08.460><c> circumstances</c>

00:11:09.019 --> 00:11:12.200
would<00:11:09.279><c> have</c><00:11:09.539><c> seemed</c><00:11:09.740><c> to</c><00:11:09.960><c> have</c><00:11:10.259><c> cried</c><00:11:10.539><c> out</c><00:11:11.399><c> for</c><00:11:11.799><c> it,</c>

00:11:17.340 --> 00:11:20.059
Yet,<00:11:17.700><c> I</c><00:11:17.820><c> don't</c><00:11:18.080><c> think</c><00:11:18.179><c> this</c><00:11:18.379><c> is</c><00:11:18.600><c> noticed</c><00:11:18.980><c> by</c><00:11:19.379><c> the</c><00:11:19.539><c> Trinitarian.</c>

00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:23.019
It's<00:11:20.679><c> difficult</c><00:11:21.059><c> to</c><00:11:21.299><c> see</c><00:11:21.440><c> that</c><00:11:21.659><c> when</c><00:11:21.799><c> you're</c><00:11:21.980><c> being</c><00:11:22.240><c> swept</c><00:11:22.500><c> along</c>

How<00:12:51.340><c> could</c><00:12:51.500><c> He</c><00:12:51.639><c> possibly</c><00:12:51.960><c> grow</c><00:12:52.159><c> in</c><00:12:52.299><c> favor</c><00:12:52.519><c> with</c><00:12:52.720><c> God</c>

00:12:52.940 --> 00:12:54.720
if<00:12:53.080><c> He</c><00:12:53.240><c> were</c><00:12:53.419><c> God</c><00:12:53.679><c> Himself?</c>

00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:57.399
And<00:12:55.960><c> so</c><00:12:56.080><c> right</c><00:12:56.259><c> from</c><00:12:56.460><c> the</c><00:12:56.559><c> very</c><00:12:56.840><c> beginning,</c>

00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:00.279
there's<00:12:58.080><c> a</c><00:12:58.279><c> clear</c><00:12:58.460><c> distinction</c><00:12:59.039><c> made</c><00:12:59.340><c> between</c><00:12:59.700><c> Jesus</c><00:13:00.100><c> and</c>

00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:01.360
His<00:13:00.500><c> Father.</c>

00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:03.919
We<00:13:02.019><c> looked</c><00:13:02.200><c> at</c><00:13:02.379><c> it</c><00:13:02.500><c> yesterday,</c><00:13:03.139><c> and</c><00:13:03.279><c> this</c><00:13:03.500><c> I</c><00:13:03.679><c> believe,</c>

00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:06.919
so<00:13:04.399><c> we</c><00:13:04.539><c> won't</c><00:13:04.620><c> look</c><00:13:04.779><c> at</c><00:13:04.860><c> it</c><00:13:04.980><c> now,</c><00:13:05.080><c> but</c><00:13:05.200><c> this</c><00:13:05.399><c> is</c><00:13:05.539><c> a</c><00:13:05.899><c> really</c><00:13:06.360><c> good</c><00:13:06.580><c> passage</c>

and<00:13:21.639><c> being</c><00:13:21.980><c> made</c><00:13:22.539><c> perfect.</c>

00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:24.820
You<00:13:23.740><c> know,</c><00:13:23.799><c> He</c><00:13:23.820><c> had</c><00:13:23.980><c> to</c><00:13:24.159><c> become</c><00:13:24.480><c> perfect.</c>

00:13:24.860 --> 00:13:25.820
He<00:13:24.960><c> wasn't</c><00:13:25.200><c> perfect</c><00:13:25.559><c> before.</c>

00:13:25.980 --> 00:13:30.379
Being<00:13:26.259><c> made</c><00:13:26.700><c> perfect,</c><00:13:27.080><c> He</c><00:13:27.259><c> became</c><00:13:27.679><c> the</c><00:13:28.240><c> author</c><00:13:28.539><c> of</c><00:13:28.779><c> eternal</c><00:13:29.080><c> salvation</c>

00:13:36.139 --> 00:13:41.879
So<00:13:36.860><c> His</c><00:13:37.580><c> childhood,</c><00:13:38.159><c> His</c><00:13:38.340><c> birth,</c><00:13:39.899><c> there's</c><00:13:40.220><c> no</c><00:13:40.460><c> evidence</c><00:13:40.779><c> there.</c>

00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:53.179
But<00:15:49.899><c> the</c><00:15:50.059><c> important</c><00:15:50.500><c> feature</c><00:15:50.899><c> is</c><00:15:51.720><c> Jesus</c><00:15:52.240><c> doesn't</c><00:15:52.860><c> say,</c>

We've<00:16:27.220><c> been</c><00:16:27.480><c> blessed.</c>

00:17:57.039 --> 00:17:59.539
God's<00:17:57.480><c> given</c><00:17:57.619><c> us</c><00:17:57.839><c> something</c><00:17:58.099><c> to</c><00:17:58.359><c> do.</c>

00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:03.480
He's<00:18:00.079><c> given</c><00:18:00.400><c> Jesus</c><00:18:01.140><c> something</c><00:18:01.660><c> to</c><00:18:01.900><c> do</c><00:18:02.099><c> as</c><00:18:02.420><c> well.</c>

00:18:03.740 --> 00:18:05.940
Jesus<00:18:04.079><c> was</c><00:18:04.440><c> sent</c><00:18:04.640><c> by</c><00:18:04.940><c> God.</c>

00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:13.019
and<00:18:11.160><c> we're</c><00:18:11.359><c> talking</c><00:18:11.660><c> about</c><00:18:12.000><c> prayer,</c>

00:18:13.819 --> 00:18:17.720
how<00:18:14.220><c> are</c><00:18:14.420><c> we</c><00:18:14.579><c> to</c><00:18:14.900><c> understand</c><00:18:15.599><c> Jesus'</c><00:18:16.799><c> prayers</c>

00:18:18.259 --> 00:18:20.420
if<00:18:18.859><c> He</c><00:18:19.039><c> were</c><00:18:19.200><c> God</c><00:18:19.380><c> Himself?</c>

00:18:21.980 --> 00:18:24.200
Really<00:18:22.460><c> doesn't</c><00:18:22.680><c> make</c><00:18:22.880><c> a</c><00:18:22.940><c> lot</c><00:18:23.160><c> of</c><00:18:23.359><c> sense,</c><00:18:23.740><c> does</c><00:18:23.839><c> it?</c>

00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:27.779
I've<00:18:24.759><c> had</c><00:18:24.880><c> folks</c><00:18:25.099><c> say,</c><00:18:25.720><c> well,</c><00:18:25.880><c> He</c><00:18:26.000><c> was</c><00:18:26.240><c> setting</c><00:18:26.400><c> us</c><00:18:26.619><c> an</c><00:18:26.839><c> example.</c>

00:18:28.339 --> 00:18:29.000
And<00:18:28.559><c> that's</c><00:18:28.839><c> true.</c>

00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:30.440
It's<00:18:29.960><c> obviously</c><00:18:30.200><c> true.</c>

00:18:30.619 --> 00:18:32.460
He<00:18:30.900><c> set</c><00:18:31.180><c> us</c><00:18:31.359><c> a</c><00:18:31.460><c> wonderful</c><00:18:31.759><c> example.</c>

00:18:32.700 --> 00:18:35.019
In<00:18:32.700><c> fact,</c><00:18:32.859><c> sometimes</c><00:18:33.559><c> I</c><00:18:34.299><c> stop</c><00:18:34.539><c> and</c><00:18:34.700><c> think,</c>

00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:40.380
as<00:18:35.599><c> much</c><00:18:35.819><c> as</c><00:18:36.019><c> Jesus</c><00:18:36.440><c> prayed,</c><00:18:39.640><c> you</c><00:18:39.880><c> know,</c>

00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:42.200
and<00:18:40.619><c> He</c><00:18:40.759><c> was</c><00:18:41.000><c> the</c><00:18:41.140><c> Son</c><00:18:41.319><c> of</c><00:18:41.539><c> God,</c>

00:18:42.500 --> 00:18:45.259
well,<00:18:42.680><c> maybe</c><00:18:43.039><c> we</c><00:18:43.180><c> ought</c><00:18:43.319><c> to</c><00:18:43.400><c> be</c><00:18:43.539><c> doing</c><00:18:43.640><c> a</c><00:18:43.759><c> little</c><00:18:43.920><c> bit</c><00:18:44.079><c> more</c><00:18:44.299><c> prayer,</c>

00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:49.519
because<00:18:45.880><c> if</c><00:18:46.119><c> He</c><00:18:46.380><c> needed</c><00:18:46.640><c> it,</c><00:18:47.140><c> certainly</c><00:18:47.579><c> we</c><00:18:48.059><c> really</c><00:18:48.519><c> need</c><00:18:48.720><c> it.</c>

00:18:49.660 --> 00:18:52.400
But<00:18:49.940><c> I</c><00:18:50.059><c> don't</c><00:18:50.259><c> think</c><00:18:50.420><c> that</c><00:18:50.599><c> we</c><00:18:50.700><c> can</c><00:18:50.900><c> say</c><00:18:51.200><c> that</c><00:18:51.480><c> Jesus'</c><00:18:51.960><c> prayers</c>

00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:55.599
were<00:18:52.700><c> simply</c><00:18:53.440><c> an</c><00:18:53.700><c> example</c><00:18:54.079><c> and</c><00:18:54.259><c> nothing</c><00:18:54.519><c> more.</c>

00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:00.099
The<00:18:56.839><c> reason</c><00:18:57.140><c> is,</c><00:18:58.279><c> many</c><00:18:58.500><c> times</c><00:18:58.819><c> when</c><00:18:58.980><c> Jesus</c><00:18:59.319><c> went</c><00:18:59.519><c> to</c><00:18:59.799><c> pray,</c>

00:19:00.460 --> 00:19:02.140
He<00:19:00.599><c> went</c><00:19:00.759><c> off</c><00:19:00.960><c> by</c><00:19:01.180><c> Himself,</c>

00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:05.279
and<00:19:03.640><c> the</c><00:19:04.000><c> disciples</c><00:19:04.339><c> weren't</c><00:19:04.599><c> with</c><00:19:04.900><c> Him.</c>

00:19:05.539 --> 00:19:06.880
They<00:19:05.740><c> weren't</c><00:19:05.960><c> involved</c><00:19:06.359><c> with</c><00:19:06.619><c> it.</c>

00:19:06.980 --> 00:19:08.920
In<00:19:07.119><c> fact,</c><00:19:07.220><c> sometimes</c><00:19:07.500><c> He</c><00:19:07.660><c> spent</c><00:19:07.799><c> the</c><00:19:07.960><c> entire</c><00:19:08.319><c> night</c><00:19:08.519><c> in</c><00:19:08.799><c> prayer.</c>

00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:13.119
Can<00:19:09.140><c> you</c><00:19:09.259><c> imagine</c><00:19:09.400><c> spending</c><00:19:10.079><c> an</c><00:19:10.559><c> entire</c><00:19:10.960><c> night</c><00:19:11.460><c> in</c><00:19:12.279><c> prayer?</c>

00:19:14.420 --> 00:19:16.460
In<00:19:14.740><c> fact,</c><00:19:14.980><c> there's</c><00:19:15.240><c> one</c><00:19:15.500><c> time</c><00:19:15.720><c> where</c><00:19:15.920><c> it</c><00:19:16.000><c> just</c><00:19:16.160><c> says</c>

00:19:16.460 --> 00:19:18.279
that<00:19:17.160><c> Jesus</c><00:19:17.559><c> was</c><00:19:18.000><c> praying.</c>

00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:22.380
He<00:19:18.480><c> was</c><00:19:18.839><c> alone</c><00:19:19.480><c> praying,</c><00:19:20.200><c> and</c><00:19:20.480><c> His</c><00:19:20.680><c> disciples</c><00:19:21.019><c> were</c><00:19:21.240><c> with</c><00:19:21.440><c> Him.</c>

00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:27.079
So<00:19:23.680><c> Jesus'</c><00:19:24.539><c> prayers,</c><00:19:25.480><c> they</c><00:19:25.779><c> weren't</c><00:19:26.000><c> simply</c><00:19:26.440><c> an</c><00:19:26.680><c> example.</c>

00:19:27.299 --> 00:19:32.039
They<00:19:27.500><c> were</c><00:19:28.440><c> the</c><00:19:28.619><c> way</c><00:19:29.400><c> He</c><00:19:29.900><c> maintained</c><00:19:30.420><c> His</c><00:19:30.680><c> close</c><00:19:31.019><c> fellowship</c>

00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:33.940

00:19:35.539 --> 00:19:37.880

00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:40.079
This<00:19:38.920><c> is</c><00:19:39.160><c> a</c><00:19:39.160><c> beautiful</c><00:19:39.619><c> prayer.</c>

00:19:40.579 --> 00:19:42.480

you're<00:26:29.839><c> probably</c><00:26:30.059><c> not</c><00:26:30.240><c> going</c><00:26:30.359><c> to</c><00:26:30.359><c> pay</c><00:26:30.519><c> attention</c><00:26:30.839><c> to</c><00:26:30.940><c> what</c><00:26:31.039><c> I</c>

00:26:31.240 --> 00:26:31.740
say<00:26:31.359><c> anyway,</c>

00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:33.579
so<00:26:32.119><c> not</c><00:26:32.319><c> much</c><00:26:32.539><c> point</c><00:26:32.720><c> in</c><00:26:32.859><c> me</c><00:26:33.039><c> praying</c><00:26:33.200><c> this.</c>

00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:35.640
We're<00:26:34.099><c> told</c><00:26:34.319><c> to</c><00:26:34.599><c> ask.</c>

00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:37.819
And<00:26:36.660><c> God</c><00:26:36.900><c> does</c><00:26:37.220><c> answer</c><00:26:37.500><c> prayers.</c>

00:26:37.900 --> 00:26:42.339
I<00:26:38.019><c> wonder</c><00:26:38.240><c> how</c><00:26:38.400><c> many</c><00:26:38.640><c> prayers</c><00:26:39.019><c> that</c><00:26:39.180><c> we</c><00:26:39.339><c> didn't</c><00:26:39.579><c> ask</c><00:26:40.740><c> weren't</c><00:26:41.400><c> answered</c>

00:26:42.420 --> 00:26:45.119
because<00:26:42.900><c> we</c><00:26:43.220><c> just</c><00:26:43.539><c> failed</c><00:26:43.839><c> to</c><00:26:44.160><c> ask.</c>

00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:49.160
But<00:26:45.819><c> there's</c><00:26:46.059><c> times</c><00:26:46.319><c> when</c><00:26:46.680><c> God</c><00:26:46.960><c> answers,</c><00:26:48.420><c> no.</c>

00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:52.039
And<00:26:50.180><c> here,</c><00:26:50.759><c> in</c><00:26:50.900><c> this</c><00:26:51.099><c> case,</c><00:26:51.319><c> that</c><00:26:51.500><c> was</c><00:26:51.740><c> it.</c>

00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:54.859
And<00:26:52.500><c> Jesus</c><00:26:52.819><c> had</c><00:26:53.039><c> to</c><00:26:53.279><c> say,</c><00:26:53.920><c> not</c><00:26:54.140><c> my</c><00:26:54.619><c> will.</c>

00:26:55.019 --> 00:26:57.400
My<00:26:55.420><c> will</c><00:26:55.779><c> has</c><00:26:56.119><c> to</c><00:26:56.299><c> be</c><00:26:56.559><c> second.</c>

00:26:57.880 --> 00:26:58.880
Thy<00:26:58.180><c> will</c><00:26:58.420><c> be</c><00:26:58.660><c> done.</c>

00:26:58.880 --> 00:27:02.259
How<00:26:59.220><c> are</c><00:26:59.480><c> we</c><00:26:59.599><c> to</c><00:26:59.740><c> make</c><00:26:59.900><c> any</c><00:27:00.259><c> sense</c><00:27:00.539><c> of</c><00:27:00.680><c> that</c><00:27:01.660><c> from</c><00:27:02.079><c> a</c>

00:27:02.259 --> 00:27:03.960
Trinitarian<00:27:02.740><c> perspective?</c>

00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:09.819
Jesus<00:27:07.700><c> says,</c><00:27:08.140><c> John</c><00:27:08.460><c> chapter</c><00:27:08.779><c> 6,</c><00:27:09.099><c> verse</c><00:27:09.319><c> 38,</c>

00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:13.319
I<00:27:10.380><c> came</c><00:27:10.700><c> down</c><00:27:10.980><c> from</c><00:27:11.200><c> heaven</c><00:27:11.500><c> not</c><00:27:11.980><c> to</c><00:27:12.220><c> do</c><00:27:12.400><c> mine</c><00:27:12.680><c> own</c><00:27:12.980><c> will,</c>

00:27:13.500 --> 00:27:16.539
but<00:27:13.640><c> the</c><00:27:13.960><c> will</c><00:27:14.319><c> of</c><00:27:14.660><c> him</c><00:27:15.039><c> that</c><00:27:15.460><c> sent</c><00:27:15.660><c> me.</c>

00:27:16.900 --> 00:27:18.420
And<00:27:17.099><c> so</c><00:27:17.259><c> Jesus</c><00:27:17.599><c> teaches</c><00:27:18.000><c> us.</c>

00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:22.339
He<00:27:18.859><c> teaches</c><00:27:19.079><c> us</c><00:27:19.380><c> by</c><00:27:19.880><c> being</c><00:27:20.299><c> subordinate</c><00:27:21.019><c> to</c><00:27:21.299><c> God.</c>

00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:27.960
You<00:27:23.359><c> remember</c><00:27:23.839><c> the</c><00:27:25.920><c> sons</c><00:27:26.160><c> of</c><00:27:26.359><c> Zebedee,</c><00:27:26.839><c> the</c><00:27:27.000><c> sons</c><00:27:27.240><c> of</c><00:27:27.599><c> thunder.</c>

00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:29.700
I<00:27:28.160><c> wonder</c><00:27:28.460><c> why</c><00:27:28.579><c> they</c><00:27:28.740><c> called</c><00:27:28.940><c> them</c><00:27:29.099><c> that.</c>

00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:33.420
Maybe<00:27:31.119><c> Jesus</c><00:27:31.519><c> had</c><00:27:32.019><c> to</c><00:27:32.220><c> sleep</c><00:27:32.380><c> in</c><00:27:32.500><c> a</c><00:27:32.599><c> room</c><00:27:32.740><c> underneath</c><00:27:33.119><c> of</c><00:27:33.319><c> them</c>

00:27:33.420 --> 00:27:34.819
one<00:27:33.720><c> night.</c>

00:27:37.460 --> 00:27:41.539
Their<00:27:37.619><c> mother</c><00:27:37.960><c> said,</c><00:27:38.500><c> I've</c><00:27:39.579><c> got</c><00:27:39.700><c> one</c><00:27:39.940><c> request</c><00:27:40.319><c> for</c><00:27:40.599><c> you.</c>

00:27:42.140 --> 00:27:45.980
If<00:27:42.420><c> when</c><00:27:42.559><c> you</c><00:27:42.779><c> come</c><00:27:42.960><c> in</c><00:27:43.119><c> your</c><00:27:43.339><c> kingdom,</c><00:27:44.799><c> could</c><00:27:45.000><c> you</c><00:27:45.319><c> grant</c><00:27:45.619><c> to</c>

00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:50.359

00:27:50.359 --> 00:27:52.359
right,<00:27:50.559><c> could</c><00:27:50.720><c> you</c><00:27:51.200><c> do</c><00:27:51.400><c> that?</c>

00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:54.559
It<00:27:53.200><c> was</c><00:27:53.380><c> a</c><00:27:53.500><c> fairly</c><00:27:53.740><c> bold</c><00:27:54.079><c> request,</c>

00:27:54.559 --> 00:27:56.759

00:27:56.759 --> 00:27:58.619
of<00:27:56.880><c> turmoil</c><00:27:57.140><c> among</c><00:27:57.460><c> the</c><00:27:57.700><c> disciples.</c>

00:27:59.099 --> 00:28:02.339

everyone<00:28:02.619><c> else?</c>

00:28:04.259 --> 00:28:06.539
And<00:28:04.440><c> Jesus'</c><00:28:04.839><c> answer</c><00:28:05.240><c> is</c><00:28:06.220><c> striking.</c>

00:28:06.660 --> 00:28:09.680
It's<00:28:06.779><c> in</c><00:28:06.900><c> Matthew</c><00:28:07.160><c> 20,</c><00:28:07.660><c> verses</c><00:28:07.859><c> 20</c><00:28:08.240><c> to</c><00:28:08.400><c> 23.</c>

00:28:17.460 --> 00:28:20.819
Then<00:28:17.940><c> came</c><00:28:18.200><c> to</c><00:28:18.339><c> him</c><00:28:18.759><c> the</c><00:28:19.180><c> mother</c><00:28:19.440><c> of</c><00:28:19.599><c> Zebedee's</c><00:28:20.039><c> children</c><00:28:20.259><c> with</c><00:28:20.420><c> her</c><00:28:20.619><c> sons,</c>

00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:07.400
You<00:29:04.880><c> know,</c><00:29:04.980><c> we</c><00:29:05.160><c> read</c><00:29:05.400><c> these</c><00:29:05.720><c> things</c><00:29:05.900><c> so</c><00:29:06.400><c> often,</c><00:29:06.880><c> and</c><00:29:06.880><c> we</c><00:29:07.180><c> don't</c>

00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:10.259
even,<00:29:07.759><c> we</c><00:29:08.900><c> don't</c><00:29:09.140><c> stumble</c><00:29:09.500><c> over</c><00:29:09.759><c> that.</c>

00:29:10.660 --> 00:29:12.640
And<00:29:10.859><c> unfortunately,</c><00:29:11.200><c> I</c><00:29:11.319><c> don't</c><00:29:11.480><c> think</c><00:29:11.680><c> the</c><00:29:11.859><c> Trinitarians</c><00:29:12.299><c> do</c><00:29:12.480><c> either,</c>

00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:15.640
and<00:29:12.759><c> I</c><00:29:12.819><c> don't</c><00:29:13.019><c> understand</c><00:29:13.380><c> how</c><00:29:13.559><c> they</c><00:29:13.819><c> can't.</c>

00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:21.579
It<00:29:18.640><c> seems</c><00:29:18.900><c> to</c><00:29:19.099><c> me</c><00:29:19.220><c> that</c><00:29:19.420><c> the</c><00:29:19.740><c> difficulties</c><00:29:20.140><c> raised</c><00:29:20.579><c> by</c><00:29:20.819><c> these</c><00:29:21.079><c> passages</c>

00:29:21.579 --> 00:29:26.599
are<00:29:22.359><c> often,</c><00:29:22.779><c> I</c><00:29:23.019><c> think,</c><00:29:23.519><c> rather</c><00:29:23.799><c> lightly</c><00:29:24.140><c> dismissed</c><00:29:24.859><c> by</c><00:29:25.779><c> Trinitarians</c><00:29:26.339><c> on</c>

00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:27.700
two<00:29:26.799><c> grounds.</c>

00:29:28.359 --> 00:29:31.339
First<00:29:28.680><c> of</c><00:29:28.859><c> all,</c><00:29:28.940><c> it's</c><00:29:29.200><c> asserted</c><00:29:29.880><c> that</c><00:29:30.099><c> they</c><00:29:30.339><c> are</c><00:29:30.720><c> reflections</c>

00:29:31.339 --> 00:29:34.900
of<00:29:32.339><c> the</c><00:29:32.680><c> human</c><00:29:32.980><c> side</c><00:29:33.339><c> of</c><00:29:33.519><c> Jesus'</c><00:29:34.140><c> nature.</c>

00:29:37.019 --> 00:29:42.140
But<00:29:37.619><c> where</c><00:29:38.220><c> in</c><00:29:38.420><c> Scripture</c><00:29:38.859><c> is</c><00:29:39.660><c> that</c><00:29:39.920><c> vital</c><00:29:40.259><c> distinction</c><00:29:40.880><c> made?</c>

00:29:43.579 --> 00:29:48.039
Secondly,<00:29:44.420><c> people</c><00:29:44.700><c> will</c><00:29:44.940><c> say,</c><00:29:45.259><c> well,</c><00:29:46.559><c> you</c><00:29:46.740><c> know,</c><00:29:46.839><c> it's</c><00:29:47.019><c> a</c><00:29:47.180><c> mystery.</c>

00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:50.400
It's<00:29:48.700><c> a</c><00:29:48.859><c> mystery.</c><00:29:49.359><c> It's</c><00:29:49.480><c> something</c><00:29:49.660><c> that</c><00:29:49.880><c> we...</c>

00:29:50.400 --> 00:30:06.279
...hater<00:29:50.880><c> than</c><00:30:04.779><c> us,</c><00:30:04.900><c> and</c><00:30:05.000><c> there's</c><00:30:05.240><c> truth</c><00:30:05.480><c> to</c><00:30:05.720><c> that.</c>

00:30:06.740 --> 00:30:09.039
And<00:30:07.180><c> who</c><00:30:07.420><c> has</c><00:30:07.680><c> known</c><00:30:07.799><c> the</c><00:30:07.960><c> mind</c><00:30:08.180><c> of</c><00:30:08.359><c> the</c><00:30:08.500><c> Lord</c><00:30:08.680><c> and</c><00:30:08.779><c> who</c><00:30:08.900><c> has</c>

00:30:09.039 --> 00:30:09.619
been<00:30:09.160><c> his</c><00:30:09.359><c> counselor?</c>

00:30:09.759 --> 00:30:12.400
There's<00:30:09.940><c> things</c><00:30:10.220><c> that</c><00:30:10.440><c> are</c><00:30:10.619><c> beyond</c><00:30:11.019><c> our</c><00:30:11.380><c> comprehension.</c>

00:30:13.279 --> 00:30:16.000
And<00:30:13.640><c> so</c><00:30:13.839><c> we're</c><00:30:14.079><c> counseled</c><00:30:14.779><c> despair,</c><00:30:15.599><c> you</c><00:30:15.799><c> know.</c>

00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:17.640
You<00:30:16.220><c> can't</c><00:30:16.640><c> understand</c><00:30:17.019><c> it.</c>

00:30:17.940 --> 00:30:20.380
If<00:30:18.119><c> it</c><00:30:18.319><c> seems</c><00:30:18.460><c> like</c><00:30:18.660><c> a</c><00:30:18.900><c> contradiction,</c><00:30:19.420><c> you</c><00:30:20.380><c> can't</c><00:30:20.380><c> understand</c><00:30:20.380><c> it.</c>

00:30:20.380 --> 00:30:23.259
So<00:30:21.000><c> it</c><00:30:21.200><c> is,</c><00:30:21.480><c> you</c><00:30:21.640><c> can't</c><00:30:22.000><c> understand</c><00:30:22.380><c> it.</c>

00:30:23.660 --> 00:30:25.940
But<00:30:23.839><c> you</c><00:30:23.940><c> know,</c><00:30:24.039><c> it's</c><00:30:24.180><c> really</c><00:30:24.440><c> interesting</c><00:30:24.859><c> to</c><00:30:25.519><c> take</c><00:30:25.740><c> a</c><00:30:25.839><c> look</c>

00:30:25.940 --> 00:30:28.559

00:30:28.859 --> 00:30:32.359
This<00:30:29.079><c> is</c><00:30:29.299><c> a</c><00:30:29.460><c> great</c><00:30:29.680><c> little</c><00:30:29.980><c> word</c><00:30:30.259><c> study,</c><00:30:31.299><c> and</c><00:30:31.660><c> it's</c><00:30:31.819><c> a</c><00:30:31.880><c> good</c>

00:30:32.359 --> 00:30:32.819
starting<00:30:32.680><c> one</c>

00:30:32.819 --> 00:30:34.220

00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:36.940

that<00:30:59.660><c> has</c><00:30:59.859><c> been</c><00:31:00.200><c> revealed</c><00:31:00.859><c> to</c><00:31:01.359><c> the</c><00:31:01.640><c> believers,</c><00:31:03.160><c> right?</c>

00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:06.819
And<00:31:04.819><c> so</c><00:31:05.059><c> for</c><00:31:05.240><c> us</c><00:31:05.460><c> to</c><00:31:05.579><c> say,</c><00:31:05.740><c> well,</c><00:31:05.839><c> it's</c><00:31:05.980><c> a</c><00:31:06.099><c> mystery,</c><00:31:06.339><c> we</c><00:31:06.480><c> can't</c>

00:31:06.819 --> 00:31:07.440
understand<00:31:07.119><c> it,</c>

00:31:07.539 --> 00:31:10.240
Paul<00:31:07.839><c> says,</c><00:31:08.519><c> brethren,</c><00:31:08.819><c> I</c><00:31:08.920><c> don't</c><00:31:09.140><c> want</c><00:31:09.339><c> you</c><00:31:09.539><c> to</c><00:31:09.700><c> be</c><00:31:09.980><c> ignorant</c>

00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:12.299
of<00:31:10.519><c> this</c><00:31:10.900><c> mystery,</c><00:31:12.019><c> right?</c>

00:31:12.299 --> 00:31:14.660
And<00:31:12.440><c> he</c><00:31:12.579><c> says</c><00:31:12.700><c> it</c><00:31:12.920><c> over</c><00:31:13.180><c> and</c><00:31:13.400><c> over</c><00:31:13.660><c> again.</c>

00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:19.079
So<00:31:14.900><c> we</c><00:31:15.019><c> can't</c><00:31:15.279><c> appeal</c><00:31:15.500><c> to</c><00:31:15.779><c> mystery</c><00:31:16.259><c> to</c><00:31:17.680><c> explain</c><00:31:18.640><c> things</c><00:31:18.920><c> that</c>

00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:43.000
For<00:34:38.679><c> he,</c><00:34:39.239><c> Paul</c><00:34:39.539><c> says,</c><00:34:39.960><c> has</c><00:34:40.219><c> put</c><00:34:40.519><c> all</c><00:34:40.860><c> things</c><00:34:41.199><c> under</c><00:34:41.900><c> his</c><00:34:42.579><c> feet.</c>

00:34:43.500 --> 00:34:48.699
Look<00:34:43.739><c> back</c><00:34:43.940><c> at</c><00:34:44.059><c> Psalm</c><00:34:44.260><c> 110,</c><00:34:44.719><c> it's</c><00:34:44.900><c> talking</c><00:34:45.139><c> about</c><00:34:45.400><c> God</c><00:34:45.780><c> putting</c><00:34:46.079><c> all</c><00:34:46.619><c> things</c><00:34:47.219><c> under</c><00:34:47.940><c> the</c><00:34:48.199><c> feet</c><00:34:48.460><c> of</c>

00:34:48.699 --> 00:34:49.820
the<00:34:48.860><c> Messiah.</c>

00:34:51.420 --> 00:34:54.639
Now<00:34:51.980><c> here's</c><00:34:52.500><c> the</c><00:34:52.719><c> part,</c><00:34:53.219><c> now</c><00:34:53.340><c> what</c><00:34:53.440><c> do</c><00:34:53.480><c> you</c><00:34:53.539><c> make</c><00:34:53.719><c> of</c><00:34:53.820><c> this?</c>

00:34:54.780 --> 00:34:58.440
But<00:34:55.019><c> when</c><00:34:55.320><c> he</c><00:34:55.639><c> saith</c><00:34:55.920><c> all</c><00:34:56.380><c> things</c><00:34:56.739><c> are</c><00:34:57.019><c> put</c><00:34:57.159><c> under</c><00:34:57.460><c> him,</c>

00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:01.659
it<00:34:59.340><c> is</c><00:34:59.599><c> manifest,</c><00:35:00.019><c> in</c><00:35:00.119><c> other</c><00:35:00.219><c> words</c><00:35:00.340><c> it's</c><00:35:00.719><c> obvious,</c>

00:35:01.920 --> 00:35:05.599
that<00:35:02.199><c> he</c><00:35:02.519><c> is</c><00:35:02.920><c> accepted</c><00:35:03.400><c> which</c><00:35:04.300><c> did</c><00:35:04.539><c> put</c><00:35:04.739><c> all</c><00:35:04.940><c> things</c><00:35:05.099><c> under</c><00:35:05.360><c> him.</c>

00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:09.079
So<00:35:06.179><c> everything's</c><00:35:07.460><c> going</c><00:35:07.760><c> to</c><00:35:07.880><c> be</c><00:35:08.019><c> put</c><00:35:08.119><c> under</c><00:35:08.360><c> Jesus'</c><00:35:09.019><c> control,</c>

00:35:09.099 --> 00:35:13.920
but<00:35:09.239><c> there's</c><00:35:09.860><c> one</c><00:35:09.980><c> obvious</c><00:35:10.519><c> exception,</c><00:35:11.760><c> and</c><00:35:12.059><c> it's</c><00:35:12.519><c> God,</c><00:35:13.219><c> right?</c>

00:35:14.420 --> 00:35:19.739
Then<00:35:14.579><c> it</c><00:35:14.699><c> says,</c><00:35:15.239><c> verse</c><00:35:15.559><c> 28,</c><00:35:16.480><c> when</c><00:35:16.699><c> all</c><00:35:17.119><c> things</c><00:35:17.400><c> shall</c><00:35:17.639><c> be</c><00:35:17.900><c> subdued</c><00:35:18.400><c> unto</c><00:35:18.659><c> him,</c>

00:35:20.340 --> 00:35:25.420
then<00:35:20.719><c> shall</c><00:35:21.039><c> the</c><00:35:21.320><c> Son</c><00:35:21.679><c> also</c><00:35:22.500><c> himself</c><00:35:23.400><c> be</c><00:35:24.340><c> subject</c><00:35:24.719><c> unto</c><00:35:25.059><c> him</c>

00:35:25.420 --> 00:35:28.480
that<00:35:25.760><c> put</c><00:35:26.039><c> all</c><00:35:26.440><c> things</c><00:35:26.960><c> under</c><00:35:27.420><c> him,</c>

00:35:28.739 --> 00:35:31.300
that<00:35:28.900><c> God</c><00:35:29.280><c> may</c><00:35:29.539><c> be</c><00:35:29.820><c> all</c><00:35:30.199><c> in</c><00:35:30.500><c> all.</c>

00:35:32.099 --> 00:35:36.599
Now<00:35:32.619><c> like</c><00:35:32.780><c> I</c><00:35:32.980><c> said,</c><00:35:33.239><c> the</c><00:35:33.460><c> pronouns</c><00:35:33.900><c> there</c><00:35:34.179><c> are</c><00:35:34.320><c> a</c><00:35:34.400><c> little</c><00:35:34.579><c> bit</c><00:35:35.980><c> confusing,</c>

00:35:36.619 --> 00:35:38.659
but<00:35:36.800><c> if</c><00:35:36.980><c> you</c><00:35:37.139><c> work</c><00:35:37.300><c> through</c><00:35:37.500><c> it</c><00:35:37.760><c> carefully,</c>

00:35:38.800 --> 00:35:43.519
it<00:35:39.320><c> paints</c><00:35:39.500><c> a</c><00:35:39.699><c> very</c><00:35:40.000><c> clear</c><00:35:40.159><c> picture</c><00:35:40.639><c> of</c><00:35:41.059><c> Jesus</c><00:35:41.699><c> as</c><00:35:42.059><c> subordinate</c><00:35:42.579><c> to</c><00:35:42.860><c> God,</c>

00:35:43.780 --> 00:35:46.280
even<00:35:44.199><c> in</c><00:35:44.780><c> the</c><00:35:44.960><c> kingdom</c><00:35:45.199><c> age.</c>

00:35:49.380 --> 00:35:52.800
So<00:35:49.900><c> I</c><00:35:49.960><c> think</c><00:35:50.099><c> we</c><00:35:50.199><c> can</c><00:35:50.360><c> make</c><00:35:50.519><c> a</c><00:35:50.639><c> very</c><00:35:50.960><c> positive</c><00:35:51.539><c> case.</c>

00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:55.199
Very<00:35:53.340><c> frequently</c><00:35:53.699><c> when</c><00:35:53.880><c> we're</c><00:35:54.119><c> talking</c><00:35:54.380><c> about</c><00:35:54.579><c> this</c><00:35:54.820><c> topic,</c>

00:35:55.460 --> 00:35:56.960
we're<00:35:55.699><c> on</c><00:35:55.820><c> the</c><00:35:56.039><c> defensive.</c>

00:35:58.539 --> 00:36:03.780
And<00:35:59.019><c> we</c><00:35:59.500><c> feel</c><00:35:59.900><c> obliged</c><00:36:00.559><c> to</c><00:36:00.980><c> answer</c><00:36:01.519><c> every</c><00:36:02.219><c> single</c><00:36:02.619><c> difficult</c><00:36:03.340><c> passage</c>

00:36:03.780 --> 00:36:05.980
that<00:36:03.980><c> gets</c><00:36:04.300><c> swatted</c><00:36:04.679><c> at</c><00:36:04.860><c> us</c><00:36:04.980><c> like</c><00:36:05.179><c> ping</c><00:36:05.480><c> pong</c><00:36:05.639><c> balls.</c>

00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:08.400
What<00:36:06.260><c> about</c><00:36:06.539><c> this</c><00:36:06.820><c> one?</c><00:36:06.940><c> What</c><00:36:07.099><c> about</c><00:36:07.340><c> that</c><00:36:07.599><c> one?</c>

00:36:09.019 --> 00:36:11.739
And<00:36:09.500><c> we're</c><00:36:09.800><c> sort</c><00:36:10.000><c> of</c><00:36:10.159><c> rocked</c><00:36:10.300><c> back</c><00:36:10.559><c> on</c><00:36:10.780><c> our</c><00:36:10.980><c> heels.</c>

00:36:13.699 --> 00:36:17.239
We<00:36:14.179><c> need</c><00:36:14.400><c> to</c><00:36:14.500><c> be</c><00:36:14.619><c> able</c><00:36:14.719><c> to</c><00:36:15.219><c> answer,</c><00:36:16.280><c> but</c><00:36:16.519><c> we</c><00:36:16.679><c> don't</c><00:36:16.880><c> need</c><00:36:17.059><c> to</c>

00:36:17.239 --> 00:36:18.480
feel<00:36:17.400><c> panicked.</c>

00:36:18.960 --> 00:36:21.559
Maybe<00:36:19.380><c> we</c><00:36:19.559><c> even</c><00:36:19.780><c> need</c><00:36:19.940><c> to</c><00:36:20.139><c> sit</c><00:36:20.219><c> and</c><00:36:20.440><c> listen</c><00:36:20.679><c> quietly</c><00:36:21.139><c> to</c><00:36:21.380><c> that</c>

00:36:27.639 --> 00:36:29.300

And<00:40:33.119><c> I</c><00:40:33.320><c> believe,</c><00:40:33.960><c> young</c><00:40:34.079><c> people,</c><00:40:34.440><c> that</c><00:40:34.579><c> this</c><00:40:34.780><c> weekend,</c>

00:40:36.099 --> 00:40:38.860
that<00:40:36.699><c> the</c><00:40:36.900><c> way</c><00:40:37.219><c> we</c><00:40:37.460><c> have</c><00:40:37.960><c> been</c><00:40:38.239><c> together,</c>

00:40:39.179 --> 00:40:43.920

00:40:44.500 --> 00:40:46.280
the<00:40:44.719><c> hymns</c><00:40:45.039><c> we've</c><00:40:45.420><c> sung,</c>

00:40:46.579 --> 00:40:51.480
these<00:40:46.980><c> things</c><00:40:47.260><c> have</c><00:40:47.480><c> been</c><00:40:47.739><c> a</c><00:40:47.900><c> witness</c><00:40:48.380><c> that</c><00:40:49.860><c> we</c><00:40:50.199><c> are</c><00:40:50.599><c> one.</c>

00:40:51.659 --> 00:40:53.960
We<00:40:51.940><c> were</c><00:40:52.119><c> asked</c><00:40:52.340><c> last</c><00:40:52.599><c> night,</c><00:40:53.019><c> where</c><00:40:53.239><c> are</c><00:40:53.360><c> you</c><00:40:53.480><c> folks</c><00:40:53.659><c> from?</c>

00:40:54.099 --> 00:40:55.960
We<00:40:54.239><c> said,</c><00:40:54.679><c> from</c><00:40:55.000><c> all</c><00:40:55.400><c> over.</c>

00:40:56.400 --> 00:40:58.539
And<00:40:56.679><c> it's</c><00:40:56.880><c> because</c><00:40:57.199><c> we're</c><00:40:57.599><c> one.</c>

00:40:58.980 --> 00:41:01.139
We've<00:40:59.360><c> got</c><00:40:59.480><c> our</c><00:40:59.780><c> problems</c><00:41:00.139><c> that</c><00:41:00.320><c> we</c><00:41:00.480><c> need</c><00:41:00.579><c> to</c><00:41:00.840><c> work</c><00:41:00.980><c> on,</c>

00:41:01.159 --> 00:41:03.360
but<00:41:01.420><c> we</c><00:41:01.820><c> are</c><00:41:02.159><c> one</c><00:41:02.480><c> in</c><00:41:02.719><c> Christ.</c>

00:41:03.360 --> 00:41:07.940
And<00:41:04.420><c> that's</c><00:41:05.539><c> what</c><00:41:05.699><c> Jesus</c><00:41:06.119><c> wanted</c><00:41:06.460><c> for</c><00:41:06.739><c> us.</c>

00:41:07.960 --> 00:41:12.219
And<00:41:08.159><c> it</c><00:41:08.500><c> explains</c><00:41:08.960><c> perfectly</c><00:41:09.760><c> the</c><00:41:11.179><c> oneness</c><00:41:11.599><c> of</c><00:41:11.860><c> Jesus.</c>

00:41:12.460 --> 00:41:14.739
I<00:41:12.639><c> and</c><00:41:12.760><c> my</c><00:41:12.940><c> Father</c><00:41:13.139><c> are</c><00:41:13.300><c> one?</c><00:41:13.679><c> Absolutely.</c>

00:41:14.960 --> 00:41:18.099
And<00:41:15.179><c> boy,</c><00:41:15.320><c> if</c><00:41:15.500><c> only</c><00:41:15.739><c> we</c><00:41:15.960><c> could</c><00:41:16.179><c> be</c><00:41:16.460><c> one</c><00:41:16.820><c> with</c><00:41:17.280><c> Jesus</c><00:41:17.739><c> and</c><00:41:17.940><c> with</c>

00:41:18.099 --> 00:41:18.500
his<00:41:18.219><c> Father</c>

00:41:18.500 --> 00:41:23.699
in<00:41:18.699><c> the</c><00:41:18.840><c> same</c><00:41:19.059><c> way</c><00:41:19.480><c> as</c><00:41:19.860><c> Jesus</c><00:41:20.239><c> himself</c><00:41:20.980><c> asked</c><00:41:22.099><c> of</c><00:41:22.800><c> us.</c>

00:41:30.219 --> 00:41:31.400
One<00:41:30.780><c> last</c><00:41:31.019><c> passage.</c>

00:41:31.400 --> 00:41:34.500
One<00:41:31.699><c> last</c><00:41:31.960><c> sort</c><00:41:32.219><c> of</c><00:41:32.860><c> maybe</c><00:41:33.159><c> a</c><00:41:33.300><c> little</c><00:41:33.460><c> bit</c><00:41:33.699><c> difficult</c><00:41:34.039><c> passage.</c>

00:41:34.619 --> 00:41:36.539
John<00:41:34.880><c> chapter</c><00:41:35.280><c> 14.</c>

00:41:40.380 --> 00:41:42.659
Actually,<00:41:40.639><c> this</c><00:41:40.860><c> is</c><00:41:40.880><c> when</c><00:41:40.960><c> we</c><00:41:41.119><c> get</c><00:41:41.260><c> two</c><00:41:41.800><c> difficult</c><00:41:42.239><c> passages</c>

00:41:42.659 --> 00:41:43.519
for<00:41:42.880><c> the</c><00:41:43.000><c> price</c><00:41:43.219><c> of</c><00:41:43.420><c> what?</c>

00:41:43.599 --> 00:41:45.360
John<00:41:43.840><c> chapter</c><00:41:44.139><c> 14.</c>

00:41:46.059 --> 00:41:47.920
And<00:41:46.340><c> they're</c><00:41:46.480><c> really</c><00:41:46.659><c> not</c><00:41:46.840><c> that</c><00:41:47.099><c> difficult.</c>

00:41:48.559 --> 00:41:52.119
This<00:41:48.780><c> is</c><00:41:48.960><c> the</c><00:41:49.099><c> one</c><00:41:49.300><c> where</c><00:41:49.960><c> people</c><00:41:50.239><c> use</c><00:41:50.539><c> for</c><00:41:50.980><c> heaven</c><00:41:51.280><c> going.</c>

00:41:52.679 --> 00:41:54.360
Let<00:41:53.199><c> not</c><00:41:53.420><c> your</c><00:41:53.579><c> heart</c><00:41:53.800><c> be</c><00:41:54.019><c> troubled.</c>

00:41:54.480 --> 00:41:55.380
You<00:41:54.679><c> believe</c><00:41:54.940><c> in</c><00:41:55.139><c> God.</c>

00:41:55.440 --> 00:41:57.000
Believe<00:41:55.780><c> also</c><00:41:56.219><c> in</c><00:41:56.539><c> me.</c>

00:41:57.360 --> 00:41:59.440
In<00:41:57.599><c> my</c><00:41:57.860><c> Father's</c><00:41:58.300><c> house</c><00:41:58.539><c> are</c><00:41:58.699><c> many</c><00:41:58.960><c> mansions.</c>

00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:01.460
If<00:41:59.840><c> it</c><00:42:00.000><c> were</c><00:42:00.119><c> not</c><00:42:00.380><c> so,</c><00:42:00.579><c> I</c><00:42:00.699><c> would</c><00:42:00.820><c> have</c><00:42:00.960><c> told</c><00:42:01.199><c> you,</c>

00:42:01.679 --> 00:42:02.960
I<00:42:01.800><c> go</c><00:42:02.019><c> to</c><00:42:02.219><c> prepare</c><00:42:02.420><c> a</c><00:42:02.599><c> place</c><00:42:02.719><c> for</c><00:42:02.880><c> you.</c>

00:42:02.980 --> 00:42:04.400
So<00:42:03.139><c> he</c><00:42:03.179><c> says,</c><00:42:03.420><c> look,</c><00:42:03.559><c> I'm</c><00:42:03.760><c> going</c><00:42:03.920><c> to</c><00:42:04.139><c> heaven</c>

00:42:04.400 --> 00:42:06.460
to<00:42:04.860><c> prepare</c><00:42:04.980><c> a</c><00:42:05.179><c> place</c><00:42:05.280><c> for</c><00:42:05.440><c> you</c><00:42:05.559><c> in</c><00:42:05.719><c> heaven.</c>

00:42:07.079 --> 00:42:11.340
And<00:42:07.460><c> well,</c><00:42:07.559><c> that's</c><00:42:07.739><c> what</c><00:42:07.840><c> people</c><00:42:08.360><c> tell</c><00:42:08.739><c> us</c><00:42:08.940><c> it</c><00:42:09.139><c> means,</c><00:42:10.139><c> right?</c>

00:42:12.179 --> 00:42:13.639
But<00:42:12.460><c> then</c><00:42:12.699><c> you</c><00:42:12.860><c> stop</c><00:42:13.000><c> and</c><00:42:13.199><c> think,</c><00:42:13.340><c> you</c><00:42:13.460><c> know,</c>

00:42:13.880 --> 00:42:16.500
every<00:42:14.119><c> time</c><00:42:14.619><c> the</c><00:42:14.960><c> Bible</c><00:42:15.179><c> talks</c><00:42:15.519><c> about</c><00:42:15.820><c> God's</c><00:42:16.320><c> house,</c>

00:42:16.559 --> 00:42:18.340
it's<00:42:16.760><c> talking</c><00:42:16.980><c> about</c><00:42:17.139><c> the</c><00:42:17.440><c> temple.</c>

00:42:19.519 --> 00:42:22.139
And<00:42:19.820><c> you</c><00:42:20.019><c> think,</c><00:42:20.340><c> well,</c><00:42:20.420><c> in</c><00:42:20.579><c> the</c><00:42:20.679><c> New</c><00:42:20.840><c> Testament,</c>

00:42:27.039 --> 00:42:28.460
I<00:42:27.139><c> wonder</c><00:42:27.159><c> if</c><00:42:27.239><c> there</c><00:42:27.380><c> could</c><00:42:27.519><c> be</c><00:42:27.679><c> anything</c><00:42:27.920><c> to</c><00:42:28.219><c> that.</c>

00:42:28.460 --> 00:42:29.519
I<00:42:28.460><c> wonder</c><00:42:28.639><c> if</c><00:42:28.739><c> there's</c><00:42:28.860><c> some</c><00:42:29.119><c> connection.</c>

00:46:48.940 --> 00:46:50.900
Because<00:46:49.460><c> we</c><00:46:49.980><c> should</c><00:46:50.199><c> reflect</c>

That's<00:46:56.840><c> a</c><00:46:56.940><c> great</c><00:46:57.159><c> exhortation.</c>

00:47:01.500 --> 00:47:02.960

00:47:18.559 --> 00:47:22.880
He<00:47:18.699><c> was</c><00:47:19.079><c> tempted</c><00:47:19.559><c> in</c><00:47:20.000><c> all</c><00:47:20.500><c> points</c><00:47:20.900><c> like</c><00:47:21.260><c> we</c><00:47:21.639><c> are,</c>

And<00:47:25.480><c> like</c><00:47:25.800><c> Him,</c>

We<00:47:31.480><c> have</c><00:47:31.719><c> a</c><00:47:32.019><c> privilege</c>

There's<00:47:46.679><c> beautiful</c><00:47:47.159><c> opportunities</c><00:47:47.840><c> we</c><00:47:48.219><c> have</c>
