this<00:10:17.220><c> morning</c><00:10:17.460><c> but</c><00:10:17.620><c> we're</c><00:10:17.820><c> going</c><00:10:18.000><c> to</c><00:10:18.159><c> try</c><00:10:18.799><c> to</c><00:10:18.960><c> go</c><00:10:19.039><c> through</c><00:10:19.200><c> the</c>

00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:21.759
through.

00:10:22.220 --> 00:10:24.940
But<00:10:22.480><c> in</c><00:10:22.679><c> chapter</c><00:10:22.860><c> three</c><00:10:23.100><c> verse</c><00:10:23.279><c> two</c><00:10:23.460><c> he</c><00:10:23.539><c> says</c><00:10:23.720><c> beloved</c><00:10:24.100><c> now</c><00:10:24.679><c> we</c>

00:10:24.940 --> 00:10:25.980
are<00:10:25.159><c> the</c><00:10:25.320><c> sons</c><00:10:25.460><c> of</c><00:10:25.679><c> God.</c>

00:10:25.980 --> 00:10:30.379
Right<00:10:26.820><c> now</c><00:10:27.700><c> you're</c><00:10:28.519><c> a</c><00:10:28.659><c> son</c><00:10:28.799><c> and</c><00:10:28.980><c> daughter</c><00:10:29.120><c> of</c><00:10:29.279><c> God</c><00:10:29.620><c> but</c><00:10:29.820><c> it</c><00:10:30.019><c> does</c><00:10:30.139><c> not</c>

00:10:30.379 --> 00:10:31.960
yet<00:10:30.580><c> appear</c><00:10:30.759><c> what</c><00:10:30.919><c> we</c><00:10:31.200><c> shall</c><00:10:31.419><c> be.</c>

00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:35.220
But<00:10:32.500><c> we</c><00:10:32.600><c> know</c><00:10:32.740><c> that</c><00:10:32.899><c> when</c><00:10:33.080><c> he</c><00:10:33.320><c> shall</c><00:10:33.580><c> appear</c><00:10:33.919><c> we</c><00:10:34.080><c> shall</c><00:10:34.240><c> be</c><00:10:34.419><c> like</c><00:10:34.720><c> him</c>

00:10:35.220 --> 00:10:37.740
for<00:10:35.679><c> we</c><00:10:35.879><c> shall</c><00:10:36.039><c> see</c><00:10:36.279><c> him</c><00:10:36.600><c> as</c><00:10:37.000><c> he</c><00:10:37.299><c> is.</c>

00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:42.240
So<00:10:38.279><c> that</c><00:10:38.480><c> is</c><00:10:38.720><c> a</c><00:10:38.799><c> real</c><00:10:39.059><c> change</c><00:10:39.620><c> that</c><00:10:39.860><c> is</c><00:10:40.080><c> coming</c><00:10:40.320><c> and</c><00:10:40.580><c> we're</c><00:10:40.820><c> looking</c><00:10:41.039><c> forward</c><00:10:41.580><c> to</c>

00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:43.720
that<00:10:42.600><c> change.</c>

00:10:45.139 --> 00:10:50.019
In<00:10:45.299><c> our</c><00:10:45.480><c> studies</c><00:10:45.799><c> of</c><00:10:46.320><c> the</c><00:10:46.559><c> epistle</c><00:10:46.820><c> of</c><00:10:47.019><c> John</c><00:10:47.700><c> it's</c><00:10:48.679><c> not</c><00:10:48.860><c> important</c><00:10:49.220><c> how</c><00:10:49.500><c> many</c><00:10:49.879><c> of</c>

00:10:50.019 --> 00:10:50.980
his<00:10:50.240><c> words</c><00:10:50.440><c> we</c><00:10:50.700><c> go</c>

00:10:50.980 --> 00:10:57.620
through<00:10:51.559><c> but</c><00:10:52.539><c> how</c><00:10:52.799><c> important</c><00:10:53.220><c> it</c><00:10:53.399><c> is</c><00:10:53.600><c> that</c><00:10:53.840><c> his</c><00:10:54.240><c> words</c><00:10:54.820><c> go</c><00:10:55.980><c> through</c><00:10:56.340><c> us.</c>

00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:00.360
It's<00:10:58.080><c> not</c><00:10:58.220><c> how</c><00:10:58.379><c> much</c><00:10:58.519><c> we</c><00:10:58.860><c> grasp</c><00:10:59.159><c> of</c><00:10:59.419><c> John's</c><00:10:59.840><c> words</c><00:11:00.000><c> but</c><00:11:00.179><c> how</c>

00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:03.279

00:11:04.019 --> 00:11:08.460
So<00:11:04.139><c> our</c><00:11:04.299><c> goal</c><00:11:04.399><c> is</c><00:11:04.600><c> not</c><00:11:04.799><c> so</c><00:11:05.000><c> much</c><00:11:05.139><c> to</c><00:11:05.600><c> educate</c><00:11:06.100><c> as</c><00:11:06.600><c> to</c><00:11:07.299><c> motivate.</c>

00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:11.879
We<00:11:09.279><c> might</c><00:11:09.500><c> understand</c><00:11:10.039><c> Daniel</c><00:11:10.539><c> and</c><00:11:10.759><c> Revelation</c><00:11:11.379><c> backwards</c>

00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:14.620
and<00:11:12.200><c> forward</c><00:11:12.500><c> but</c><00:11:12.679><c> if</c><00:11:12.820><c> we're</c><00:11:13.019><c> not</c><00:11:13.299><c> gentle</c>

00:11:15.299 --> 00:11:21.120
and<00:11:15.820><c> kind</c><00:11:16.340><c> and</c><00:11:17.320><c> loving</c><00:11:17.460><c> then</c><00:11:18.960><c> it's</c><00:11:19.340><c> all</c><00:11:19.799><c> for</c><00:11:20.179><c> not.</c>

00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:23.320
Now<00:11:21.460><c> those</c><00:11:21.580><c> are</c><00:11:21.740><c> very</c><00:11:21.960><c> strong</c><00:11:22.259><c> words</c><00:11:22.519><c> but</c><00:11:22.659><c> we</c><00:11:22.820><c> wouldn't</c><00:11:23.039><c> dare</c>

00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:25.279
say<00:11:23.580><c> it</c><00:11:23.759><c> except</c><00:11:24.019><c> that</c><00:11:24.360><c> they're</c><00:11:24.639><c> not</c><00:11:24.840><c> our</c><00:11:25.039><c> words</c>

00:11:28.059 --> 00:11:32.360

00:11:35.379 --> 00:11:38.860
We<00:11:35.799><c> need</c><00:11:36.240><c> to</c><00:11:36.440><c> admit</c><00:11:36.820><c> each</c><00:11:37.259><c> one</c><00:11:37.460><c> to</c><00:11:37.679><c> ourselves</c><00:11:37.940><c> that</c><00:11:38.139><c> we</c><00:11:38.539><c> need</c>

00:11:41.980 --> 00:11:46.440
Paul<00:11:42.460><c> said</c><00:11:42.620><c> I</c><00:11:42.720><c> can</c><00:11:42.899><c> do</c><00:11:43.080><c> all</c><00:11:43.360><c> things</c><00:11:43.600><c> through</c><00:11:43.860><c> Christ</c><00:11:44.539><c> who</c><00:11:45.240><c> strengthens</c><00:11:45.700><c> me</c>

Now<00:12:05.700><c> we're</c><00:12:05.899><c> very</c><00:12:06.279><c> fortunate</c><00:12:06.720><c> that</c><00:12:06.960><c> God</c><00:12:07.259><c> looks</c><00:12:07.639><c> on</c><00:12:08.460><c> the</c><00:12:08.879><c> hearts.</c>

we're<00:13:04.220><c> drawn</c><00:13:04.519><c> to</c><00:13:04.820><c> it.</c>

00:13:05.860 --> 00:13:09.000

00:13:17.379 --> 00:13:23.460
God<00:13:17.860><c> is</c><00:13:18.100><c> not</c><00:13:18.299><c> finished</c><00:13:18.700><c> with</c><00:13:18.940><c> me</c><00:13:19.179><c> yet</c><00:13:19.659><c> and</c><00:13:22.080><c> we</c><00:13:22.700><c> ought</c><00:13:22.919><c> to</c><00:13:23.139><c> all</c>

00:13:25.620 --> 00:13:30.059
When<00:13:25.860><c> I</c><00:13:26.740><c> say</c><00:13:27.080><c> something</c><00:13:28.179><c> or</c><00:13:28.320><c> do</c><00:13:28.480><c> something</c><00:13:28.639><c> I</c><00:13:28.779><c> shouldn't</c><00:13:28.960><c> do</c><00:13:29.159><c> that</c><00:13:29.379><c> to</c><00:13:29.500><c> my</c><00:13:29.740><c> wife</c><00:13:29.919><c> I</c>

with<00:13:31.139><c> me.</c>

00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:32.799
God<00:13:31.639><c> isn't</c><00:13:31.899><c> finished</c><00:13:32.220><c> with</c><00:13:32.460><c> me</c><00:13:32.659><c> yet.</c>

00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:38.419
You'd<00:13:33.120><c> be</c><00:13:33.200><c> wonderful</c><00:13:33.559><c> how</c><00:13:33.740><c> those</c><00:13:34.620><c> little</c><00:13:34.899><c> words</c><00:13:35.100><c> kind</c><00:13:35.340><c> of</c><00:13:35.539><c> help</c><00:13:35.860><c> when</c><00:13:36.960><c> you've</c><00:13:37.320><c> been</c><00:13:37.559><c> wrong</c><00:13:38.019><c> and</c><00:13:38.200><c> we've</c>

00:13:38.419 --> 00:13:39.159
all<00:13:38.580><c> been</c><00:13:38.759><c> wrong.</c>

00:13:39.539 --> 00:13:42.279
So<00:13:39.759><c> John</c><00:13:39.980><c> changed</c><00:13:40.580><c> because</c><00:13:41.000><c> his</c><00:13:41.279><c> life</c><00:13:41.440><c> was</c><00:13:41.659><c> touched</c><00:13:41.860><c> by</c><00:13:42.100><c> the</c>

00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:44.980
Lord<00:13:42.620><c> and</c><00:13:43.419><c> our</c><00:13:43.720><c> life</c><00:13:43.980><c> will</c><00:13:44.299><c> change</c><00:13:44.600><c> because</c>

00:13:44.980 --> 00:13:47.700
we're<00:13:45.220><c> being</c><00:13:45.539><c> touched</c><00:13:46.100><c> by</c><00:13:46.600><c> the</c><00:13:46.840><c> Lord.</c>

00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:51.299
Jesus<00:13:49.039><c> called</c><00:13:49.580><c> John</c><00:13:50.080><c> and</c><00:13:50.419><c> then</c><00:13:50.559><c> he</c><00:13:50.639><c> had</c><00:13:50.860><c> to</c><00:13:51.120><c> change.</c>

00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:53.620
He<00:13:51.799><c> had</c><00:13:51.980><c> a</c><00:13:52.080><c> lot</c><00:13:52.320><c> of</c><00:13:52.559><c> potential.</c>

00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:57.000
I<00:13:54.159><c> think</c><00:13:54.320><c> this</c><00:13:54.580><c> must</c><00:13:54.720><c> be</c><00:13:55.120><c> frustrating</c><00:13:55.539><c> to</c><00:13:56.000><c> school</c><00:13:56.379><c> teachers</c>

00:13:57.000 --> 00:14:00.240
who<00:13:58.320><c> get</c><00:13:58.559><c> to</c><00:13:58.840><c> know</c><00:13:59.220><c> their</c><00:13:59.539><c> students</c><00:13:59.980><c> and</c>

00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:03.679
see<00:14:00.580><c> the</c><00:14:00.919><c> potential</c><00:14:01.559><c> in</c><00:14:01.799><c> some</c><00:14:02.000><c> of</c><00:14:02.120><c> these</c><00:14:02.299><c> students</c><00:14:02.740><c> and</c><00:14:03.179><c> realize</c><00:14:03.480><c> that</c>

00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:05.399
they're<00:14:03.860><c> not</c><00:14:04.320><c> trying.</c>

00:14:05.419 --> 00:14:08.120
They're<00:14:05.600><c> not</c><00:14:05.940><c> doing</c><00:14:06.240><c> what</c><00:14:06.440><c> they</c><00:14:06.820><c> could</c><00:14:07.080><c> do.</c>

00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:11.980
So<00:14:08.600><c> we</c><00:14:08.820><c> must</c><00:14:09.039><c> be</c><00:14:09.340><c> disappointing</c><00:14:09.720><c> to</c><00:14:09.940><c> our</c><00:14:10.080><c> Heavenly</c><00:14:10.399><c> Father</c><00:14:11.000><c> because</c><00:14:11.580><c> we</c>

00:14:11.980 --> 00:14:13.860
have<00:14:12.220><c> so</c><00:14:12.500><c> much</c><00:14:12.740><c> more</c><00:14:13.139><c> potential</c>

00:14:13.860 --> 00:14:16.019
than<00:14:14.500><c> any</c><00:14:14.840><c> of</c><00:14:15.000><c> us</c><00:14:15.320><c> are</c><00:14:15.639><c> using.</c>

00:14:16.379 --> 00:14:20.220
They<00:14:16.539><c> say</c><00:14:16.679><c> that</c><00:14:16.879><c> we</c><00:14:17.000><c> only</c><00:14:17.320><c> use</c><00:14:17.620><c> about</c><00:14:18.000><c> 10</c><00:14:18.440><c>%</c><00:14:18.700><c> of</c><00:14:18.919><c> our</c><00:14:19.179><c> brain's</c><00:14:19.820><c> ability.</c>

00:14:20.700 --> 00:14:23.620
So<00:14:20.879><c> that</c><00:14:20.980><c> means</c><00:14:21.159><c> there's</c><00:14:21.480><c> a</c><00:14:21.700><c> lot</c><00:14:21.940><c> of</c><00:14:22.159><c> room</c><00:14:22.419><c> for</c><00:14:22.759><c> improvement</c><00:14:23.220><c> there.</c>

00:14:23.740 --> 00:14:24.860
We<00:14:23.980><c> can</c><00:14:24.220><c> all</c><00:14:24.500><c> do</c><00:14:24.679><c> better.</c>

00:14:24.940 --> 00:14:26.120
I<00:14:25.100><c> have</c><00:14:25.279><c> a</c><00:14:25.500><c> computer</c><00:14:25.720><c> at</c><00:14:25.960><c> home.</c>

00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.340
It's<00:14:26.460><c> so</c><00:14:26.519><c> much</c><00:14:26.720><c> smarter</c><00:14:27.000><c> than</c><00:14:27.200><c> me.</c>

00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:30.919
It<00:14:29.019><c> can</c><00:14:29.259><c> do</c><00:14:29.440><c> things</c><00:14:29.639><c> that</c><00:14:29.799><c> I</c><00:14:29.860><c> don't</c><00:14:30.019><c> know</c><00:14:30.080><c> how</c><00:14:30.279><c> to</c><00:14:30.480><c> do.</c>

00:14:31.259 --> 00:14:37.740
I'm<00:14:31.679><c> not</c><00:14:31.899><c> using</c><00:14:32.139><c> the</c><00:14:32.360><c> potential</c><00:14:32.820><c> of</c><00:14:33.100><c> that</c><00:14:33.399><c> but</c><00:14:34.340><c> in</c><00:14:35.639><c> life</c><00:14:36.139><c> we</c><00:14:36.740><c> should</c><00:14:37.059><c> try</c><00:14:37.559><c> to</c>

00:14:37.740 --> 00:14:38.720
the<00:14:37.799><c> best</c><00:14:38.019><c> of</c><00:14:38.200><c> our</c><00:14:38.340><c> ability</c>

00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:43.419

00:14:43.419 --> 00:14:46.460
up<00:14:43.840><c> to</c><00:14:44.179><c> the</c><00:14:44.639><c> commands</c><00:14:45.279><c> of</c><00:14:45.980><c> our</c><00:14:46.120><c> Heavenly</c>

00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:54.980
We<00:14:50.200><c> all</c><00:14:50.399><c> make</c><00:14:50.580><c> mistakes</c><00:14:51.519><c> and</c><00:14:53.559><c> I</c><00:14:53.679><c> think</c><00:14:53.860><c> sometimes</c><00:14:54.360><c> we're</c><00:14:54.759><c> not</c>
