00:06:40.339 --> 00:06:44.160
We<00:06:40.360><c> must</c><00:06:40.600><c> remind</c><00:06:40.920><c> ourselves,</c><00:06:41.360><c> perhaps,</c><00:06:42.180><c> that</c><00:06:42.259><c> Adam</c><00:06:42.680><c> had</c><00:06:43.579><c> no</c>

00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:04.880
It<00:17:01.720><c> would</c><00:17:01.879><c> have</c><00:17:01.960><c> left</c><00:17:02.080><c> us</c><00:17:02.399><c> standing</c><00:17:02.799><c> gasping</c><00:17:03.620><c> for</c><00:17:03.860><c> breath.</c>

00:17:05.420 --> 00:17:10.519
We<00:17:05.599><c> cannot</c><00:17:06.079><c> conceive</c><00:17:06.859><c> in</c><00:17:07.119><c> our</c><00:17:07.359><c> minds</c><00:17:07.640><c> today</c><00:17:08.240><c> how</c><00:17:09.339><c> lovely,</c><00:17:10.200><c> how</c>

00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:17.299
good<00:17:14.180><c> was</c><00:17:14.940><c> that</c><00:17:15.279><c> which</c><00:17:15.579><c> God</c><00:17:15.920><c> made.</c>

00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:25.119
And<00:17:19.880><c> that</c><00:17:20.259><c> is</c><00:17:21.200><c> exactly</c><00:17:22.059><c> the</c><00:17:22.400><c> tragedy</c><00:17:22.819><c> of</c><00:17:23.079><c> these</c><00:17:23.279><c> early</c><00:17:23.519><c> chapters</c><00:17:23.900><c> of</c><00:17:24.140><c> Genesis.</c>

00:17:35.299 --> 00:17:37.859
It<00:17:35.299><c> is</c><00:17:35.460><c> that,</c><00:17:35.960><c> brethren</c><00:17:35.960><c> and</c><00:17:36.160><c> sisters,</c><00:17:36.960><c> perhaps</c><00:17:37.319><c> more</c><00:17:37.559><c> than</c>

00:17:48.819 --> 00:17:53.299

00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:03.680
brought<00:17:57.539><c> that</c><00:17:58.579><c> we</c><00:17:58.839><c> should</c><00:17:59.720><c> endeavour</c><00:18:00.579><c> to</c><00:18:01.380><c> understand</c><00:18:02.420><c> as</c><00:18:03.359><c> we</c>

00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:10.319
You<00:18:07.420><c> see,</c><00:18:07.539><c> that's</c><00:18:07.700><c> what</c><00:18:07.779><c> our</c><00:18:07.980><c> lives</c><00:18:08.339><c> are</c><00:18:08.619><c> about,</c><00:18:09.079><c> isn't</c><00:18:09.240><c> it?</c>

00:18:10.500 --> 00:18:13.039
That's<00:18:10.779><c> what</c><00:18:10.859><c> our</c><00:18:11.019><c> lives</c><00:18:11.240><c> in</c><00:18:11.400><c> the</c><00:18:11.579><c> truth</c><00:18:11.720><c> are</c><00:18:11.920><c> about,</c><00:18:12.380><c> brethren</c><00:18:12.640><c> and</c><00:18:12.799><c> sisters.</c>

00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:16.680
They<00:18:13.240><c> are</c><00:18:13.440><c> about</c><00:18:14.140><c> identifying</c><00:18:15.180><c> with</c><00:18:15.519><c> God.</c>

00:18:17.380 --> 00:18:19.920
I<00:18:17.380><c> may</c><00:18:17.539><c> have</c><00:18:17.740><c> said</c><00:18:17.880><c> to</c><00:18:18.000><c> you</c><00:18:18.160><c> before,</c><00:18:18.940><c> I</c><00:18:19.000><c> suppose</c><00:18:19.259><c> I'm</c><00:18:19.460><c> fond</c><00:18:19.680><c> of</c>

saying<00:18:20.119><c> it,</c><00:18:20.259><c> but</c><00:18:20.359><c> I</c><00:18:20.500><c> think</c><00:18:20.619><c> it's</c><00:18:20.819><c> very</c>

00:18:21.099 --> 00:18:22.980
valid<00:18:21.279><c> and</c><00:18:21.599><c> important</c><00:18:21.859><c> and</c><00:18:22.079><c> worth</c><00:18:22.279><c> saying</c><00:18:22.579><c> again.</c>

00:18:23.259 --> 00:18:26.500
When<00:18:23.380><c> the</c><00:18:23.539><c> scripture</c><00:18:23.779><c> says</c><00:18:24.039><c> that</c><00:18:24.299><c> David</c><00:18:24.519><c> was</c><00:18:24.720><c> a</c><00:18:24.859><c> man</c><00:18:25.000><c> after</c><00:18:25.339><c> God's</c><00:18:25.779><c> own</c><00:18:25.960><c> heart,</c><00:18:26.440><c> it</c>

00:18:26.500 --> 00:18:27.019
doesn't<00:18:26.680><c> mean</c><00:18:26.839><c> that</c>

00:18:27.019 --> 00:18:28.140
David<00:18:27.180><c> was</c><00:18:27.400><c> a</c><00:18:27.519><c> righteous</c><00:18:27.799><c> man.</c>

00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:29.680
If<00:18:28.240><c> it</c><00:18:28.359><c> meant</c><00:18:28.500><c> that,</c><00:18:28.660><c> it</c><00:18:28.720><c> would</c><00:18:28.859><c> have</c><00:18:28.980><c> said</c><00:18:29.220><c> that.</c>

00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:32.119
It<00:18:30.200><c> means</c><00:18:30.400><c> that</c><00:18:30.599><c> David</c><00:18:30.859><c> was</c><00:18:31.079><c> a</c><00:18:31.220><c> man</c><00:18:31.640><c> after.</c>

00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:35.380
The<00:18:32.319><c> word</c><00:18:32.500><c> is</c><00:18:32.859><c> according</c><00:18:33.500><c> to</c><00:18:34.119><c> God's</c><00:18:34.680><c> own</c><00:18:34.940><c> heart.</c>

00:18:35.619 --> 00:18:38.559
David<00:18:35.859><c> was</c><00:18:36.079><c> a</c><00:18:36.220><c> man,</c><00:18:36.359><c> in</c><00:18:36.500><c> other</c><00:18:36.619><c> words,</c><00:18:37.079><c> who</c><00:18:37.180><c> felt</c><00:18:37.500><c> like</c><00:18:37.920><c> God.</c>

00:18:39.059 --> 00:18:41.740
He<00:18:39.279><c> was</c><00:18:39.440><c> a</c><00:18:39.559><c> man</c><00:18:39.660><c> who</c><00:18:40.240><c> shared</c><00:18:40.640><c> the</c><00:18:41.000><c> feelings</c><00:18:41.339><c> of</c><00:18:41.579><c> God.</c>

00:18:41.740 --> 00:18:43.740
He<00:18:41.980><c> could</c><00:18:42.160><c> identify</c><00:18:42.980><c> with</c><00:18:43.279><c> God.</c>

00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:47.259
That's<00:18:44.180><c> why</c><00:18:44.339><c> he</c><00:18:44.460><c> was</c><00:18:44.680><c> a</c><00:18:45.099><c> man</c><00:18:45.359><c> whom</c><00:18:45.519><c> God</c><00:18:45.799><c> so</c><00:18:46.220><c> loved.</c>

00:18:47.339 --> 00:18:49.619
He<00:18:47.420><c> was</c><00:18:47.559><c> a</c><00:18:47.640><c> man</c><00:18:47.740><c> who</c><00:18:47.960><c> entered</c><00:18:48.400><c> into</c><00:18:48.640><c> the</c><00:18:48.900><c> spirit</c><00:18:49.119><c> of</c><00:18:49.279><c> what</c><00:18:49.400><c> God</c>

00:18:49.619 --> 00:18:51.819
wanted,<00:18:50.119><c> what</c><00:18:50.240><c> God</c><00:18:50.480><c> desired,</c><00:18:51.259><c> and</c><00:18:51.480><c> David</c>

00:18:51.819 --> 00:18:53.579
desired<00:18:52.220><c> it</c><00:18:52.539><c> too.</c>

00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:55.920
That<00:18:53.839><c> was</c><00:18:54.019><c> the</c><00:18:54.200><c> marvel</c><00:18:54.440><c> of</c><00:18:54.619><c> his</c><00:18:54.819><c> life.</c>

00:18:57.099 --> 00:19:01.200
David<00:18:57.400><c> saw</c><00:18:57.619><c> himself</c><00:18:58.200><c> as</c><00:18:58.779><c> shepherd</c><00:18:59.079><c> over</c><00:18:59.400><c> God's</c><00:18:59.900><c> flock,</c><00:19:00.119><c> and</c><00:19:00.299><c> yet</c><00:19:00.500><c> he</c><00:19:00.819><c> was</c><00:19:01.039><c> a</c>

00:19:03.180 --> 00:19:05.559
He<00:19:03.339><c> saw</c><00:19:03.500><c> himself</c><00:19:03.819><c> as</c><00:19:04.079><c> king</c><00:19:04.279><c> and</c><00:19:04.500><c> yet</c><00:19:04.660><c> he</c><00:19:04.799><c> was</c><00:19:04.960><c> a</c><00:19:05.099><c> subject</c><00:19:05.400><c> and</c>

00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:07.079
God<00:19:05.819><c> was</c><00:19:06.019><c> his</c><00:19:06.299><c> king.</c>

00:19:07.380 --> 00:19:08.680
He<00:19:07.640><c> saw</c><00:19:07.920><c> the</c><00:19:08.180><c> relationship.</c>

00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:12.000
He<00:19:08.900><c> appreciated</c><00:19:09.400><c> what</c><00:19:09.619><c> God</c><00:19:09.799><c> was</c><00:19:10.079><c> doing</c><00:19:10.759><c> through</c><00:19:11.339><c> him</c><00:19:11.559><c> and</c><00:19:11.680><c> with</c><00:19:11.859><c> him</c>

loved<00:19:15.200><c> that</c><00:19:15.559><c> and</c><00:19:15.680><c> he</c><00:19:15.779><c> could</c><00:19:15.940><c> identify</c><00:19:16.640><c> with</c><00:19:16.920><c> God.</c>

00:19:17.420 --> 00:19:21.759
He<00:19:17.500><c> could</c><00:19:17.779><c> feel</c><00:19:18.140><c> with</c><00:19:18.400><c> God,</c><00:19:18.720><c> Lord,</c><00:19:19.339><c> I</c><00:19:19.640><c> have</c><00:19:19.920><c> sinned,</c><00:19:20.119><c> but</c><00:19:20.299><c> these</c><00:19:20.619><c> sheep,</c><00:19:21.240><c> Lord,</c><00:19:21.519><c> what</c>

00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:24.720
David<00:19:23.920><c> longed</c><00:19:24.400><c> for</c><00:19:24.559><c> them.</c>

00:19:24.819 --> 00:19:29.640
