00:12:30.059 --> 00:12:33.000
you<00:12:30.299><c> struggled</c><00:12:30.740><c> behind</c><00:12:31.200><c> under</c><00:12:31.480><c> the</c><00:12:31.600><c> weight</c><00:12:31.720><c> of</c><00:12:31.899><c> his</c><00:12:32.120><c> pack.</c>

00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:35.639
You'd<00:12:33.620><c> only</c><00:12:33.799><c> be</c><00:12:34.039><c> doing</c><00:12:34.240><c> what</c><00:12:34.399><c> was</c><00:12:34.759><c> expected</c><00:12:35.080><c> of</c><00:12:35.259><c> you</c><00:12:35.379><c> under</c>

Roman<00:12:35.980><c> law.</c>

00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:40.539
But<00:12:37.600><c> when</c><00:12:37.799><c> you</c><00:12:38.059><c> offered</c><00:12:38.259><c> to</c><00:12:38.460><c> go</c><00:12:38.600><c> the</c><00:12:38.840><c> extra</c><00:12:39.179><c> mile</c><00:12:39.460><c> and</c><00:12:39.659><c> do</c><00:12:39.840><c> it</c><00:12:40.100><c> willingly,</c>

00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:43.759
well<00:12:40.980><c> then</c><00:12:41.240><c> he'd</c><00:12:41.639><c> start</c><00:12:41.919><c> looking</c><00:12:42.220><c> at</c><00:12:42.440><c> you</c><00:12:42.620><c> sideways,</c><00:12:43.240><c> wouldn't</c><00:12:43.419><c> he?</c>

00:12:44.139 --> 00:12:45.600
He<00:12:44.320><c> really</c><00:12:44.580><c> would.</c>

00:12:47.299 --> 00:12:49.360
And<00:12:47.820><c> he'd</c><00:12:48.059><c> wonder</c><00:12:48.220><c> why.</c>

00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:51.960
What<00:12:50.179><c> motivated</c><00:12:50.860><c> you</c><00:12:51.080><c> to</c><00:12:51.240><c> do</c><00:12:51.500><c> that?</c>

00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:55.019
He'd<00:12:52.980><c> start</c><00:12:53.139><c> asking</c><00:12:53.620><c> questions.</c>

00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:58.759
And<00:12:55.460><c> a</c><00:12:55.620><c> door</c><00:12:55.840><c> of</c><00:12:56.059><c> opportunity</c><00:12:56.639><c> would</c><00:12:56.879><c> be</c><00:12:57.139><c> opened</c><00:12:57.679><c> for</c><00:12:58.340><c> you</c><00:12:58.539><c> to</c>

00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:02.360

00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:07.059
Now<00:13:03.399><c> that</c><00:13:03.840><c> still</c><00:13:04.240><c> applies</c><00:13:04.779><c> today,</c><00:13:05.539><c> brethren</c><00:13:05.659><c> and</c><00:13:05.960><c> sisters,</c><00:13:06.720><c> in</c><00:13:06.879><c> a</c>

00:13:09.940 --> 00:13:13.299
Obviously<00:13:10.299><c> we</c><00:13:10.460><c> aren't</c><00:13:10.720><c> carrying</c><00:13:11.120><c> soldiers</c><00:13:11.580><c> packs</c><00:13:11.940><c> about</c><00:13:12.320><c> from</c><00:13:12.679><c> time</c><00:13:12.940><c> to</c><00:13:13.139><c> time.</c>

00:13:13.379 --> 00:13:15.860
That's<00:13:14.100><c> not</c><00:13:14.360><c> the</c><00:13:14.580><c> point</c><00:13:14.820><c> at</c><00:13:15.059><c> issue.</c>

of<00:22:33.200><c> the</c><00:22:33.480><c> ideal</c><00:22:33.799><c> expressed</c><00:22:34.559><c> in</c><00:22:35.359><c> that</c><00:22:35.700><c> 48th</c><00:22:36.740><c> verse.</c>

00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:41.259
Jesus<00:22:39.059><c> doesn't</c><00:22:39.400><c> of</c><00:22:39.539><c> course</c><00:22:39.819><c> mean</c><00:22:40.259><c> that</c><00:22:40.420><c> we've</c><00:22:40.660><c> got</c><00:22:40.799><c> to</c><00:22:40.980><c> be</c>

00:22:41.259 --> 00:22:45.319
immaculate<00:22:41.980><c> and</c><00:22:42.460><c> flawless</c><00:22:43.019><c> in</c><00:22:43.740><c> every</c><00:22:44.119><c> respect.</c>

00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:48.640
He<00:22:46.140><c> knew</c><00:22:46.380><c> we</c><00:22:46.579><c> should</c><00:22:46.759><c> never</c><00:22:46.980><c> be</c><00:22:47.240><c> faultless</c><00:22:47.640><c> in</c><00:22:47.859><c> this</c><00:22:48.140><c> life.</c>

00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:52.519
But<00:22:49.420><c> as</c><00:22:49.619><c> I</c><00:22:49.859><c> understand</c><00:22:50.339><c> it,</c><00:22:50.700><c> that</c><00:22:50.720><c> word</c><00:22:51.039><c> perfect</c><00:22:51.539><c> in</c><00:22:51.720><c> the</c><00:22:51.859><c> New</c><00:22:52.039><c> Testament</c>

00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:57.720
means<00:22:53.000><c> fully</c><00:22:53.440><c> developed,</c><00:22:55.140><c> complete</c><00:22:55.640><c> or</c><00:22:56.539><c> mature.</c>

00:22:58.460 --> 00:23:00.640
That<00:22:58.740><c> seems</c><00:22:59.000><c> to</c><00:22:59.160><c> be</c><00:22:59.259><c> the</c><00:22:59.380><c> real</c><00:22:59.599><c> significance</c><00:23:00.119><c> of</c><00:23:00.339><c> the</c><00:23:00.500><c> word</c>

00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:02.680
and<00:23:00.819><c> the</c><00:23:00.920><c> way</c><00:23:01.059><c> it's</c><00:23:01.339><c> used</c><00:23:01.700><c> in</c><00:23:01.900><c> this</c><00:23:02.160><c> place.</c>

00:23:03.140 --> 00:23:04.960
And<00:23:03.299><c> I</c><00:23:03.339><c> think</c><00:23:03.480><c> Jesus</c><00:23:03.819><c> is</c><00:23:04.039><c> simply</c><00:23:04.359><c> saying</c><00:23:04.660><c> to</c><00:23:04.839><c> us,</c>

00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:10.420
look,<00:23:05.240><c> you've</c><00:23:05.720><c> got</c><00:23:05.920><c> to</c><00:23:06.220><c> grow</c><00:23:06.500><c> up</c><00:23:07.079><c> and</c><00:23:08.000><c> mature</c><00:23:08.839><c> spiritually.</c>

00:23:10.900 --> 00:23:14.579
That's<00:23:11.460><c> what</c><00:23:11.640><c> I'm</c><00:23:11.920><c> driving</c><00:23:12.319><c> at</c><00:23:12.779><c> in</c><00:23:13.299><c> preparing</c><00:23:13.660><c> my</c><00:23:14.039><c> citizens</c>

00:23:14.579 --> 00:23:15.920
for<00:23:14.819><c> the</c><00:23:15.019><c> Kingdom.</c>

00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:20.299
Well,<00:23:16.700><c> I</c><00:23:16.900><c> suppose</c><00:23:17.259><c> we</c><00:23:17.460><c> are</c><00:23:17.799><c> growing</c><00:23:18.140><c> up,</c><00:23:18.799><c> little</c><00:23:19.039><c> by</c><00:23:19.380><c> little,</c>

00:23:20.619 --> 00:23:23.720
but<00:23:20.799><c> oh,</c><00:23:21.200><c> how</c><00:23:21.599><c> painfully</c><00:23:22.119><c> at</c><00:23:22.480><c> times.</c>

00:23:24.019 --> 00:23:27.539
Yet<00:23:24.180><c> this</c><00:23:24.400><c> is</c><00:23:24.660><c> the</c><00:23:24.819><c> goal,</c><00:23:25.799><c> to</c><00:23:26.039><c> grow</c><00:23:26.440><c> to</c><00:23:26.779><c> full</c><00:23:27.000><c> maturity</c>

00:23:27.539 --> 00:23:29.339
in<00:23:27.759><c> the</c><00:23:27.900><c> things</c><00:23:28.079><c> of</c><00:23:28.299><c> the</c><00:23:28.539><c> Spirit.</c>

00:23:29.579 --> 00:23:32.359
The<00:23:29.799><c> path</c><00:23:30.180><c> of</c><00:23:30.400><c> the</c><00:23:30.640><c> just</c><00:23:30.920><c> is</c><00:23:31.099><c> as</c><00:23:31.259><c> a</c><00:23:31.519><c> shining</c><00:23:31.839><c> light</c>

00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:37.160
that<00:23:32.920><c> shineth</c><00:23:33.339><c> more</c><00:23:33.960><c> and</c><00:23:34.500><c> more</c><00:23:34.980><c> unto</c><00:23:35.279><c> the</c><00:23:35.599><c> perfect</c><00:23:36.079><c> day.</c>

00:23:37.299 --> 00:23:39.680
So<00:23:37.500><c> it</c><00:23:37.579><c> is</c><00:23:37.759><c> a</c><00:23:37.880><c> process,</c><00:23:38.359><c> isn't</c><00:23:38.539><c> it?</c>

00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:41.900
And<00:23:40.519><c> the</c><00:23:40.680><c> perfect</c><00:23:40.859><c> day</c><00:23:41.059><c> will</c><00:23:41.259><c> not</c><00:23:41.420><c> be</c><00:23:41.640><c> reached</c>

00:23:41.900 --> 00:23:45.339
until<00:23:42.220><c> the</c><00:23:42.380><c> Kingdom</c><00:23:42.960><c> has</c><00:23:44.299><c> come.</c>

00:23:45.619 --> 00:23:48.440
We<00:23:45.799><c> shan't</c><00:23:46.119><c> be</c><00:23:46.460><c> perfect</c><00:23:46.880><c> in</c><00:23:47.059><c> that</c><00:23:47.359><c> immaculate</c><00:23:48.000><c> sense</c>

00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:51.480
until<00:23:49.000><c> God</c><00:23:49.319><c> grants</c><00:23:49.720><c> us</c><00:23:50.019><c> a</c><00:23:50.119><c> new</c><00:23:50.299><c> nature</c><00:23:50.680><c> altogether</c>

00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:54.500
and<00:23:52.160><c> may</c><00:23:52.380><c> it</c><00:23:52.640><c> please</c><00:23:52.819><c> him</c><00:23:53.119><c> to</c><00:23:53.299><c> do</c><00:23:53.500><c> so.</c>

00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:57.500
But<00:23:54.819><c> in</c><00:23:54.940><c> the</c><00:23:55.079><c> meantime,</c><00:23:55.640><c> Jesus</c><00:23:56.000><c> says,</c><00:23:56.400><c> keep</c><00:23:56.700><c> trying.</c>

00:23:57.980 --> 00:24:00.079
Strive<00:23:58.420><c> towards</c><00:23:58.799><c> the</c><00:23:59.059><c> spiritual</c><00:23:59.519><c> maturity</c>

00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:02.960
that<00:24:00.359><c> you</c><00:24:00.559><c> know</c><00:24:00.940><c> God</c><00:24:01.319><c> wants</c><00:24:01.660><c> from</c><00:24:01.980><c> you.</c>

00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:08.519
And<00:24:04.180><c> this</c><00:24:04.400><c> emphasis</c><00:24:05.140><c> on</c><00:24:05.880><c> what</c><00:24:06.079><c> a</c><00:24:06.220><c> man</c><00:24:06.359><c> is</c><00:24:06.640><c> like</c><00:24:06.920><c> inside,</c>

00:24:08.539 --> 00:24:10.940
rather<00:24:08.759><c> than</c><00:24:09.000><c> merely</c><00:24:09.200><c> on</c><00:24:09.339><c> what</c><00:24:09.480><c> he</c><00:24:09.660><c> says</c><00:24:09.940><c> and</c><00:24:10.099><c> what</c><00:24:10.299><c> he</c><00:24:10.480><c> does,</c>

00:24:10.940 --> 00:24:14.960
is<00:24:11.359><c> characteristic</c><00:24:12.119><c> of</c><00:24:12.299><c> Jesus'</c><00:24:13.079><c> teaching</c><00:24:13.079><c> throughout</c><00:24:13.460><c> his</c><00:24:13.759><c> ministry.</c>

00:24:15.059 --> 00:24:21.559
Because<00:24:15.299><c> you</c><00:24:15.500><c> see,</c><00:24:16.180><c> it</c><00:24:16.240><c> rules</c><00:24:16.680><c> out</c><00:24:17.680><c> hypocrisy</c><00:24:18.740><c> and</c><00:24:19.380><c> sham,</c><00:24:19.920><c> doesn't</c><00:24:20.079><c> it?</c>

00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:24.700
Which<00:24:22.259><c> may</c><00:24:23.099><c> imitate</c><00:24:23.759><c> the</c><00:24:24.119><c> action,</c>

00:24:25.059 --> 00:24:27.900
but<00:24:25.259><c> can</c><00:24:25.619><c> never</c><00:24:25.940><c> imitate</c><00:24:26.539><c> the</c><00:24:27.000><c> Spirit.</c>

00:24:28.619 --> 00:24:31.420
We<00:24:28.799><c> can</c><00:24:29.079><c> easily</c><00:24:29.599><c> wear</c><00:24:30.039><c> a</c><00:24:30.319><c> mask</c><00:24:30.799><c> of</c><00:24:31.099><c> goodness,</c>

00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:37.180

00:24:53.420 --> 00:24:57.599
It's<00:24:53.599><c> what</c><00:24:53.779><c> we</c><00:24:54.019><c> really</c><00:24:54.299><c> like</c><00:24:54.640><c> inside</c><00:24:55.720><c> that</c><00:24:56.259><c> God's</c><00:24:56.680><c> interested.</c>

00:25:08.259 --> 00:25:13.339
Jesus<00:25:09.640><c> takes</c><00:25:10.140><c> three</c><00:25:10.500><c> examples</c><00:25:11.259><c> to</c><00:25:11.700><c> highlight</c><00:25:12.200><c> the</c><00:25:12.579><c> problem</c>

appearance'<00:25:29.720><c> sake,</c>

00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:32.980
well<00:25:30.640><c> then</c><00:25:30.720><c> there's</c><00:25:30.940><c> no</c><00:25:31.220><c> spiritual</c><00:25:31.660><c> value</c><00:25:32.039><c> in</c><00:25:32.180><c> it</c><00:25:32.420><c> at</c><00:25:32.599><c> all.</c>

00:25:32.980 --> 00:25:35.440
Oh,<00:25:34.119><c> you've</c><00:25:34.160><c> done</c><00:25:34.400><c> it.</c>

00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:38.319
You've<00:25:35.859><c> given</c><00:25:36.039><c> your</c><00:25:36.460><c> arms,</c><00:25:37.119><c> you've</c><00:25:37.319><c> said</c><00:25:37.460><c> your</c><00:25:37.799><c> prayers,</c>

00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:41.480
most<00:25:38.779><c> religiously</c><00:25:39.460><c> and</c><00:25:39.559><c> perhaps</c><00:25:39.920><c> you</c><00:25:40.079><c> have</c><00:25:40.359><c> fasted.</c>

00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:46.279
Although<00:25:41.940><c> I</c><00:25:42.099><c> can't</c><00:25:42.500><c> say</c><00:25:42.779><c> I</c><00:25:43.099><c> ever</c><00:25:43.420><c> have</c><00:25:44.339><c> consciously</c><00:25:44.960><c> done</c><00:25:45.359><c> so.</c>

00:25:46.539 --> 00:25:51.259
But<00:25:46.740><c> the</c><00:25:47.039><c> glory</c><00:25:47.420><c> is</c><00:25:47.759><c> all</c><00:25:48.200><c> yours</c><00:25:48.640><c> and</c><00:25:48.839><c> it's</c><00:25:49.180><c> of</c><00:25:49.339><c> no</c><00:25:49.599><c> use</c><00:25:49.940><c> whatsoever.</c>

00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:53.440
When<00:25:52.019><c> you</c><00:25:52.180><c> do</c><00:25:52.380><c> these</c><00:25:52.660><c> things,</c><00:25:52.880><c> Jesus</c><00:25:53.220><c> said,</c>

00:25:53.579 --> 00:25:56.039

00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:57.420
other<00:25:56.299><c> people.</c>

00:25:57.500 --> 00:26:00.019
Try<00:25:57.759><c> to</c><00:25:58.000><c> develop</c><00:25:58.200><c> the</c><00:25:58.420><c> right</c><00:25:58.680><c> spiritual</c><00:25:59.240><c> perspective.</c>

00:26:00.019 --> 00:26:03.220
If<00:26:00.960><c> you're</c><00:26:01.220><c> going</c><00:26:01.420><c> to</c><00:26:01.579><c> be</c><00:26:01.799><c> generous</c><00:26:02.180><c> with</c><00:26:02.460><c> your</c><00:26:02.599><c> money,</c><00:26:03.099><c> then</c>

00:26:03.220 --> 00:26:04.960
do<00:26:03.440><c> it</c><00:26:03.799><c> secretly.</c>

00:26:05.700 --> 00:26:07.460
Do<00:26:05.819><c> it</c><00:26:06.059><c> anonymously.</c>

00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:12.319
So<00:26:08.180><c> that</c><00:26:08.420><c> other</c><00:26:08.599><c> people</c><00:26:08.839><c> won't</c><00:26:09.079><c> say,</c><00:26:09.619><c> he</c><00:26:09.619><c> is</c><00:26:09.920><c> a</c><00:26:10.160><c> generous</c><00:26:10.599><c> fellow,</c><00:26:10.960><c> you</c><00:26:11.259><c> know.</c>

00:26:12.900 --> 00:26:15.500
Because<00:26:13.079><c> if</c><00:26:13.220><c> that's</c><00:26:13.440><c> what</c><00:26:13.640><c> you</c><00:26:13.900><c> want,</c><00:26:14.119><c> you'll</c><00:26:14.339><c> get</c><00:26:14.539><c> it.</c>

00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:18.799
But<00:26:16.299><c> don't</c><00:26:16.480><c> expect</c><00:26:16.839><c> a</c><00:26:16.980><c> blessing</c><00:26:17.279><c> from</c><00:26:17.539><c> my</c><00:26:17.839><c> Father.</c>

00:26:19.779 --> 00:26:23.180
Verily<00:26:20.059><c> I</c><00:26:20.299><c> say</c><00:26:20.480><c> unto</c><00:26:20.700><c> you,</c><00:26:20.880><c> they</c><00:26:21.099><c> have</c><00:26:21.359><c> received</c><00:26:21.880><c> their</c><00:26:22.200><c> reward.</c>

00:26:23.559 --> 00:26:25.500
So<00:26:23.740><c> you</c><00:26:23.859><c> wanted</c><00:26:24.059><c> to</c><00:26:24.220><c> be</c><00:26:24.339><c> well</c><00:26:24.619><c> thought</c><00:26:24.880><c> of,</c><00:26:25.039><c> did</c><00:26:25.220><c> you?</c>

00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:27.240
Well,<00:26:26.059><c> you</c><00:26:26.339><c> have</c><00:26:26.680><c> been.</c>

00:26:27.660 --> 00:26:28.839
That's<00:26:28.160><c> it.</c>

00:26:28.839 --> 00:26:31.220
Nothing<00:26:29.559><c> more</c><00:26:29.819><c> to</c><00:26:29.859><c> it</c><00:26:30.000><c> than</c><00:26:30.180><c> that.</c>

00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:34.940
And<00:26:31.480><c> when</c><00:26:31.619><c> you</c><00:26:31.859><c> pray,</c><00:26:32.099><c> he</c><00:26:32.259><c> said,</c><00:26:32.819><c> let</c><00:26:32.980><c> it</c><00:26:33.200><c> be</c><00:26:33.440><c> between</c><00:26:34.160><c> you</c><00:26:34.720><c> and</c>

00:26:34.940 --> 00:26:36.559
God<00:26:35.339><c> alone.</c>

00:26:37.299 --> 00:26:40.680
Not<00:26:37.539><c> necessarily</c><00:26:38.039><c> going</c><00:26:38.380><c> into</c><00:26:38.680><c> a</c><00:26:38.960><c> private</c><00:26:39.339><c> room</c><00:26:39.700><c> apart.</c>

00:26:41.180 --> 00:26:44.400
Because<00:26:41.400><c> most</c><00:26:41.759><c> people</c><00:26:42.140><c> in</c><00:26:42.339><c> those</c><00:26:42.619><c> days</c><00:26:42.920><c> didn't</c><00:26:43.259><c> have</c><00:26:43.519><c> a</c><00:26:43.740><c> private</c><00:26:44.099><c> room</c>

00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:46.359
to<00:26:44.640><c> go</c><00:26:44.900><c> apart</c><00:26:45.339><c> into.</c>

00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:50.819
They<00:26:48.839><c> lived</c><00:26:49.099><c> in</c><00:26:49.319><c> one</c><00:26:49.579><c>-roomed</c><00:26:50.019><c> houses.</c>

00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:53.740
And<00:26:51.539><c> so</c><00:26:51.720><c> it</c><00:26:51.900><c> simply</c><00:26:52.220><c> wasn't</c><00:26:52.599><c> possible.</c>

00:26:54.740 --> 00:26:58.400
But<00:26:55.259><c> you</c><00:26:55.380><c> can</c><00:26:55.599><c> always</c><00:26:55.900><c> go</c><00:26:56.119><c> into</c><00:26:56.359><c> the</c><00:26:56.579><c> secret</c><00:26:56.920><c> chambers</c><00:26:57.359><c> of</c><00:26:57.599><c> your</c><00:26:57.819><c> heart</c><00:26:58.180><c> and</c>

00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:02.460
Wherever<00:27:00.660><c> you</c><00:27:00.960><c> happen</c><00:27:01.220><c> to</c><00:27:01.480><c> be.</c>

00:27:02.819 --> 00:27:04.720
No<00:27:02.960><c> ostentation.</c>

00:27:05.059 --> 00:27:09.599

00:27:10.539 --> 00:27:12.740
What<00:27:10.680><c> you</c><00:27:10.819><c> look</c><00:27:11.039><c> like</c><00:27:11.200><c> to</c><00:27:11.380><c> other</c><00:27:11.619><c> people</c><00:27:11.819><c> isn't</c><00:27:12.059><c> important.</c>

00:27:13.240 --> 00:27:15.460
It's<00:27:13.440><c> the</c><00:27:13.599><c> state</c><00:27:13.819><c> of</c><00:27:13.960><c> your</c><00:27:14.180><c> heart</c><00:27:14.400><c> and</c><00:27:14.680><c> mind</c><00:27:14.880><c> that</c><00:27:15.160><c> matters,</c>

says<00:27:15.700><c> Jesus.</c>

00:27:16.359 --> 00:27:19.680
So<00:27:16.539><c> let</c><00:27:16.720><c> your</c><00:27:16.980><c> prayers</c><00:27:17.259><c> be</c><00:27:17.539><c> between</c><00:27:17.859><c> you</c><00:27:18.180><c> and</c><00:27:18.279><c> God</c><00:27:18.640><c> alone.</c>

00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:23.039

00:28:26.619 --> 00:28:32.140
And<00:28:26.920><c> Jesus</c><00:28:27.380><c> himself</c><00:28:28.460><c> is,</c><00:28:29.700><c> of</c><00:28:29.799><c> course,</c><00:28:31.160><c> the</c><00:28:31.339><c> living</c><00:28:31.579><c> example</c>

00:28:34.380 --> 00:28:39.859
Not<00:28:34.859><c> only</c><00:28:35.299><c> did</c><00:28:35.500><c> he</c><00:28:35.740><c> not</c><00:28:36.119><c> resist</c><00:28:36.680><c> evil,</c><00:28:38.680><c> as</c><00:28:38.779><c> he</c><00:28:38.940><c> has</c><00:28:39.299><c> advocated</c>

00:28:39.859 --> 00:28:41.940
in<00:28:40.059><c> chapter</c><00:28:40.519><c> 5,</c>

00:28:42.019 --> 00:28:47.460
but<00:28:42.180><c> he</c><00:28:42.380><c> gave</c><00:28:42.700><c> himself</c><00:28:43.339><c> up</c><00:28:44.200><c> that</c><00:28:44.779><c> others</c><00:28:45.400><c> might</c><00:28:45.960><c> go</c><00:28:46.299><c> free.</c>

00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:52.460
If<00:28:48.000><c> it's</c><00:28:48.299><c> me</c><00:28:48.619><c> that</c><00:28:48.839><c> ye</c><00:28:49.180><c> seek,</c><00:28:49.539><c> he</c><00:28:49.859><c> said,</c><00:28:51.160><c> when</c><00:28:51.319><c> the</c><00:28:51.519><c> temple</c><00:28:51.880><c> guard</c><00:28:52.259><c> and</c>

00:28:52.460 --> 00:28:54.839
the<00:28:52.559><c> Roman</c><00:28:52.920><c> soldiers</c><00:28:53.420><c> came</c><00:28:53.720><c> to</c><00:28:53.980><c> arrest</c><00:28:54.359><c> him,</c>

00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:58.420
then<00:28:55.579><c> let</c><00:28:56.160><c> these</c><00:28:56.579><c> go</c><00:28:56.980><c> their</c><00:28:57.299><c> way.</c>

00:28:58.660 --> 00:29:02.019
So<00:28:59.220><c> they</c><00:28:59.440><c> laid</c><00:28:59.740><c> hold</c><00:28:59.980><c> upon</c><00:29:00.319><c> him</c><00:29:00.539><c> and</c><00:29:00.779><c> bound</c><00:29:01.059><c> him,</c>

00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:04.980
and<00:29:02.480><c> his</c><00:29:02.700><c> disciples</c><00:29:03.200><c> took</c><00:29:03.480><c> the</c><00:29:03.660><c> opportunity</c><00:29:04.220><c> to</c><00:29:04.500><c> make</c><00:29:04.700><c> their</c>

00:29:10.500 --> 00:29:13.019
Later<00:29:10.779><c> he</c><00:29:11.019><c> prayed</c><00:29:11.359><c> for</c><00:29:11.599><c> his</c><00:29:11.900><c> enemies.</c>

00:29:13.480 --> 00:29:17.740
Father,<00:29:13.759><c> forgive</c><00:29:14.240><c> them,</c><00:29:15.460><c> for</c><00:29:15.579><c> they</c><00:29:15.819><c> know</c><00:29:16.039><c> not</c><00:29:16.299><c> what</c><00:29:16.539><c> they</c><00:29:16.819><c> do.</c>

00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:21.519
Now,<00:29:18.759><c> some</c><00:29:18.940><c> have</c><00:29:19.119><c> suggested</c><00:29:19.539><c> that</c><00:29:19.740><c> he</c><00:29:19.900><c> meant</c><00:29:20.059><c> just</c><00:29:20.359><c> the</c><00:29:20.539><c> Roman</c><00:29:20.880><c> soldiers,</c>

00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:24.819
rather<00:29:22.059><c> than</c><00:29:22.299><c> the</c><00:29:22.460><c> Jews</c><00:29:22.680><c> who</c><00:29:22.940><c> condemned</c><00:29:23.299><c> him</c><00:29:23.519><c> to</c><00:29:23.640><c> the</c><00:29:23.900><c> cross.</c>

00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:28.700
But<00:29:25.720><c> I</c><00:29:26.059><c> can't</c><00:29:26.440><c> think</c><00:29:26.619><c> that</c><00:29:26.900><c> to</c><00:29:27.099><c> be</c><00:29:27.319><c> true,</c><00:29:27.839><c> brethren</c><00:29:28.019><c> and</c><00:29:28.259><c> sisters,</c>

and<00:33:47.200><c> how</c><00:33:47.480><c> he</c><00:33:47.759><c> put</c><00:33:48.119><c> into</c><00:33:48.680><c> practice</c><00:33:49.460><c> his</c><00:33:50.140><c> own</c><00:33:50.759><c> principles</c><00:33:51.359><c> of</c><00:33:51.779><c> conduct.</c>

00:33:53.019 --> 00:33:54.319
That's<00:33:53.440><c> right,</c><00:33:53.839><c> isn't</c><00:33:53.960><c> it?</c>

00:33:54.460 --> 00:33:57.819
That's<00:33:54.799><c> why</c><00:33:54.980><c> we</c><00:33:55.160><c> come</c><00:33:55.339><c> to</c><00:33:55.539><c> the</c><00:33:55.720><c> table,</c><00:33:56.400><c> to</c><00:33:56.660><c> remind</c><00:33:57.180><c> ourselves</c>

00:33:57.819 --> 00:33:59.539
of<00:33:58.000><c> what</c><00:33:58.220><c> he</c><00:33:58.420><c> has</c><00:33:58.680><c> done.</c>

00:33:59.859 --> 00:34:03.000
But<00:34:00.079><c> then,</c><00:34:00.539><c> says</c><00:34:00.720><c> Paul,</c><00:34:01.720><c> afterwards,</c>

00:34:03.220 --> 00:34:06.279
when<00:34:03.299><c> we</c><00:34:03.460><c> go</c><00:34:03.680><c> back</c><00:34:03.940><c> into</c><00:34:04.140><c> the</c><00:34:04.380><c> world</c><00:34:04.559><c> and</c><00:34:04.819><c> resume</c><00:34:05.059><c> our</c><00:34:05.380><c> daily</c><00:34:05.640><c> lives,</c>

00:34:06.279 --> 00:34:10.679
the<00:34:06.720><c> things</c><00:34:07.119><c> done</c><00:34:07.539><c> in</c><00:34:08.019><c> symbol</c><00:34:08.360><c> at</c><00:34:08.579><c> the</c><00:34:08.760><c> breaking</c><00:34:09.000><c> of</c><00:34:09.320><c> bread</c><00:34:09.619><c> must</c><00:34:10.320><c> be</c>

00:34:10.679 --> 00:34:12.840
put<00:34:10.900><c> into</c><00:34:11.340><c> practice.</c>

00:34:13.239 --> 00:34:15.559
Show<00:34:13.239><c> it</c><00:34:13.480><c> yourself,</c><00:34:14.360><c> says</c><00:34:14.440><c> Paul.</c>

00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:19.019
Proclaim<00:34:16.400><c> ye</c><00:34:16.780><c> the</c><00:34:17.000><c> Lord's</c><00:34:17.539><c> death</c><00:34:17.800><c> till</c><00:34:18.059><c> he</c><00:34:18.440><c> come.</c>

00:34:19.460 --> 00:34:24.820
Show<00:34:19.800><c> his</c><00:34:20.119><c> spirit</c><00:34:20.460><c> in</c><00:34:20.619><c> your</c><00:34:20.900><c> own</c><00:34:21.159><c> living</c><00:34:21.599><c> until</c><00:34:24.159><c> he</c><00:34:24.460><c> appears</c>

00:34:24.820 --> 00:34:26.300
in<00:34:25.219><c> glory.</c>

00:34:27.300 --> 00:34:32.139
Now,<00:34:28.019><c> that's</c><00:34:28.739><c> the</c><00:34:28.920><c> way</c><00:34:29.159><c> to</c><00:34:29.420><c> read</c><00:34:29.619><c> that</c><00:34:29.920><c> 26th</c><00:34:31.059><c> verse.</c>

00:34:32.679 --> 00:34:35.719
The<00:34:33.199><c> two</c><00:34:33.659><c> readings</c><00:34:34.179><c> are</c><00:34:34.639><c> right.</c>

00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:42.920
We<00:34:36.400><c> remember</c><00:34:36.960><c> what</c><00:34:37.159><c> he</c><00:34:37.360><c> has</c><00:34:37.699><c> shown</c><00:34:38.219><c> and</c><00:34:39.099><c> done</c><00:34:39.440><c> for</c><00:34:39.760><c> us</c><00:34:40.280><c> and</c><00:34:41.380><c> taught</c><00:34:41.659><c> us.</c>

00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:46.179
Then,<00:34:43.539><c> what</c><00:34:43.719><c> we</c><00:34:43.920><c> have</c><00:34:44.119><c> done</c><00:34:44.300><c> in</c><00:34:44.619><c> symbol,</c><00:34:45.099><c> we</c><00:34:45.280><c> must</c><00:34:45.519><c> go</c><00:34:45.780><c> out</c><00:34:46.039><c> and</c>

00:34:46.179 --> 00:34:49.539
put<00:34:46.360><c> into</c><00:34:46.659><c> practice</c><00:34:47.280><c> until</c><00:34:47.920><c> we</c><00:34:48.159><c> meet</c><00:34:48.380><c> again.</c>

00:34:50.239 --> 00:34:53.059
As<00:34:50.440><c> the</c><00:34:50.659><c> Lord</c><00:34:50.840><c> said</c><00:34:51.079><c> to</c><00:34:51.300><c> his</c><00:34:51.500><c> disciples</c><00:34:52.000><c> on</c><00:34:52.219><c> a</c><00:34:52.400><c> certain</c><00:34:52.579><c> occasion,</c>

00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:56.400
have<00:34:53.599><c> ye</c><00:34:53.880><c> understood</c><00:34:54.599><c> all</c><00:34:55.000><c> these</c><00:34:55.320><c> things?</c>

00:34:56.920 --> 00:34:58.679
They<00:34:57.179><c> said</c><00:34:57.400><c> unto</c><00:34:57.639><c> him,</c><00:34:58.019><c> yea,</c><00:34:58.440><c> Lord.</c>

00:34:58.679 --> 00:35:04.239
Well,<00:34:59.940><c> he</c><00:35:00.199><c> said,</c><00:35:01.260><c> then</c><00:35:01.519><c> go</c><00:35:02.260><c> and</c><00:35:02.719><c> do</c><00:35:02.920><c> thou</c><00:35:03.139><c> likewise.</c>
