The<00:14:32.700><c> walk</c><00:14:32.899><c> was</c><00:14:33.139><c> the</c><00:14:33.320><c> way</c><00:14:33.500><c> the</c><00:14:33.759><c> Jews</c><00:14:33.980><c> referred</c><00:14:34.500><c> to</c><00:14:34.779><c> their</c><00:14:35.039><c> everyday</c><00:14:35.580><c> life.</c>

00:14:36.299 --> 00:14:39.500
And<00:14:36.500><c> this</c><00:14:36.659><c> was</c><00:14:36.860><c> talking</c><00:14:37.159><c> about</c><00:14:37.539><c> having</c><00:14:37.899><c> a</c><00:14:38.500><c> walk</c><00:14:38.700><c> that</c><00:14:38.879><c> was</c><00:14:39.159><c> not</c>

00:14:39.500 --> 00:14:41.740
right<00:14:39.899><c> because</c><00:14:40.500><c> of</c><00:14:40.759><c> someone</c><00:14:40.980><c> who's</c><00:14:41.419><c> lame</c>

00:14:46.820 --> 00:14:50.240
come<00:14:47.000><c> into</c><00:14:47.620><c> connection</c><00:14:49.519><c> with</c><00:14:49.799><c> Christ</c>

through<00:14:50.519><c> baptism.</c>

00:14:52.259 --> 00:14:55.299
The<00:14:52.259><c> lepers</c><00:14:52.580><c> being</c><00:14:52.899><c> cleansed,</c><00:14:53.580><c> leprosy</c><00:14:54.019><c> was</c><00:14:54.259><c> the</c><00:14:54.480><c> sin</c><00:14:54.700><c> disease.</c>

00:14:55.659 --> 00:14:58.919
So<00:14:55.759><c> the</c><00:14:55.960><c> cleansing</c><00:14:56.259><c> of</c><00:14:56.500><c> leprosy</c><00:14:56.940><c> represented</c><00:14:57.500><c> the</c><00:14:57.820><c> forgiveness</c><00:14:58.200><c> of</c><00:14:58.600><c> sins,</c>

00:15:02.259 --> 00:15:07.059
The<00:15:02.419><c> deaf</c><00:15:02.659><c> hearing,</c><00:15:04.139><c> hearing</c><00:15:04.600><c> is</c><00:15:05.039><c> a</c><00:15:05.200><c> word</c><00:15:05.399><c> that's</c><00:15:05.679><c> very</c><00:15:06.080><c> closely</c><00:15:06.399><c> connected</c><00:15:06.799><c> for</c>

00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:11.139
The<00:15:08.220><c> word</c><00:15:08.440><c> obedience</c><00:15:08.840><c> basically</c><00:15:09.340><c> means</c><00:15:09.759><c> to</c><00:15:10.220><c> hear.</c>

00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:14.240
And<00:15:11.600><c> so</c><00:15:11.960><c> what's</c><00:15:12.220><c> being</c><00:15:12.480><c> said</c><00:15:12.720><c> here</c><00:15:13.019><c> is</c><00:15:13.279><c> this</c><00:15:13.620><c> is</c><00:15:13.860><c> a</c><00:15:13.980><c> reference</c>

00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:26.720
The<00:15:22.799><c> dead</c><00:15:23.019><c> being</c><00:15:23.299><c> raised</c><00:15:23.659><c> up</c><00:15:24.320><c> is</c><00:15:25.299><c> the</c><00:15:25.620><c> transformation</c><00:15:26.340><c> from</c>

no<00:15:30.659><c> changes</c><00:15:31.039><c> because</c><00:15:31.539><c> we're</c><00:15:32.080><c> of</c><00:15:32.299><c> weak,</c><00:15:32.639><c> mortal</c><00:15:32.980><c> natures.</c>

00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:36.580
And<00:15:34.100><c> when</c><00:15:34.320><c> we</c><00:15:34.559><c> die,</c><00:15:34.879><c> we</c><00:15:34.980><c> will</c><00:15:35.220><c> die</c><00:15:35.500><c> and</c><00:15:35.700><c> return</c><00:15:36.000><c> to</c><00:15:36.179><c> the</c><00:15:36.340><c> dust</c>

00:15:36.580 --> 00:15:38.500

00:15:38.820 --> 00:15:42.799
From<00:15:39.000><c> being</c><00:15:39.279><c> assured</c><00:15:39.820><c> of</c><00:15:40.159><c> perishing</c><00:15:40.559><c> forever</c><00:15:41.139><c> to</c><00:15:42.120><c> having</c><00:15:42.480><c> the</c>

00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:52.200
And<00:15:49.200><c> finally,</c><00:15:49.600><c> the</c><00:15:49.720><c> gospel</c><00:15:50.080><c> being</c><00:15:50.360><c> preached</c><00:15:50.659><c> to</c><00:15:50.860><c> the</c><00:15:51.039><c> poor</c><00:15:51.340><c> is</c>

00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:06.899
So<00:16:02.639><c> all</c><00:16:02.980><c> these</c><00:16:03.240><c> works</c><00:16:04.100><c> were</c><00:16:04.799><c> started</c><00:16:05.080><c> in</c><00:16:05.299><c> the</c><00:16:05.460><c> ministry</c><00:16:05.740><c> of</c><00:16:05.879><c> Jesus.</c>

why<00:29:39.980><c> that</c><00:29:41.359><c> was</c><00:29:41.579><c> used,</c><00:29:42.019><c> why</c><00:29:42.220><c> that</c><00:29:42.400><c> was</c><00:29:42.660><c> said.</c>

00:29:43.339 --> 00:29:45.900

00:29:46.299 --> 00:29:49.039
there's<00:29:46.640><c> probably</c><00:29:47.039><c> a</c><00:29:47.279><c> pointer</c><00:29:47.480><c> back</c><00:29:47.819><c> to</c><00:29:47.940><c> Genesis</c><00:29:48.299><c> chapter</c><00:29:48.640><c> 15</c>

verse<00:29:49.339><c> six.</c>

00:29:50.579 --> 00:29:53.220
Because<00:29:50.980><c> this</c><00:29:51.500><c> is</c><00:29:51.960><c> referring</c><00:29:52.400><c> to</c><00:29:52.640><c> that</c><00:29:52.900><c> verse</c>

00:29:58.480 --> 00:30:01.359
It<00:29:58.660><c> actually</c><00:29:59.039><c> is</c><00:29:59.259><c> a</c><00:29:59.460><c> verse</c><00:29:59.680><c> that's</c><00:30:00.079><c> used</c><00:30:00.359><c> a</c><00:30:00.660><c> number</c><00:30:00.880><c> of</c><00:30:01.140><c> times</c>

00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:10.200
We<00:30:07.940><c> read</c><00:30:08.259><c> a</c><00:30:08.339><c> little</c><00:30:08.559><c> bit</c><00:30:08.779><c> further,</c><00:30:09.519><c> verse</c><00:30:09.700><c> seven.</c>

00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:18.839
And<00:30:15.779><c> the</c><00:30:15.940><c> scripture</c><00:30:16.319><c> foreseeing</c><00:30:16.980><c> that</c><00:30:17.140><c> God</c><00:30:17.440><c> would</c><00:30:17.700><c> justify,</c>

00:30:29.140 --> 00:30:32.039
The<00:30:29.480><c> gospel</c><00:30:29.960><c> was</c><00:30:30.299><c> preached</c><00:30:30.539><c> to</c><00:30:30.819><c> Abraham</c><00:30:31.240><c> in</c><00:30:31.539><c> Genesis</c>

00:30:37.619 --> 00:30:39.420

00:30:46.019 --> 00:30:47.680
I<00:30:46.259><c> mentioned</c><00:30:46.500><c> that</c><00:30:46.740><c> we</c><00:30:46.900><c> had</c><00:30:47.059><c> a</c><00:30:47.259><c> reference</c><00:30:47.460><c> here</c>

00:30:55.339 --> 00:30:58.380
That's<00:30:55.779><c> actually</c><00:30:56.039><c> a</c><00:30:56.220><c> bit</c><00:30:56.339><c> of</c><00:30:57.099><c> a</c><00:30:57.519><c> ticklish</c><00:30:57.900><c> question,</c>

I<00:39:57.099><c> will</c><00:39:57.280><c> be</c><00:39:57.480><c> his</c><00:39:57.780><c> father,</c><00:39:58.139><c> and</c><00:39:58.280><c> he</c><00:39:58.539><c> shall</c><00:39:58.659><c> be</c><00:39:58.920><c> my</c><00:39:59.239><c> son.</c>

00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:02.719
And<00:40:00.559><c> then</c><00:40:00.780><c> skipping</c><00:40:01.039><c> to</c><00:40:01.280><c> verse</c><00:40:02.059><c> 16,</c>

00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:05.780
And<00:40:03.159><c> thine</c><00:40:03.539><c> house</c><00:40:03.920><c> and</c><00:40:04.119><c> thy</c><00:40:04.440><c> kingdom</c><00:40:04.880><c> shall</c><00:40:05.079><c> be</c><00:40:05.340><c> established</c>

00:40:07.380 --> 00:40:09.960
Thy<00:40:07.780><c> throne</c><00:40:08.059><c> shall</c><00:40:08.260><c> be</c><00:40:08.559><c> established</c><00:40:08.960><c> forever.</c>

00:40:10.159 --> 00:40:13.880
Incidentally,<00:40:10.699><c> there's</c><00:40:10.960><c> a</c><00:40:11.139><c> reference</c><00:40:11.400><c> to</c><00:40:11.960><c> David</c><00:40:12.360><c> being</c><00:40:12.699><c> resurrected</c><00:40:13.300><c> to</c>

00:40:13.880 --> 00:40:14.960
inherit<00:40:14.199><c> this</c><00:40:14.500><c> promise.</c>

00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:17.739
Because<00:40:15.659><c> all</c><00:40:15.920><c> these</c><00:40:16.159><c> things,</c><00:40:16.719><c> after</c><00:40:17.059><c> he</c><00:40:17.300><c> had</c><00:40:17.460><c> died,</c>

00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:21.099
would<00:40:18.159><c> happen</c><00:40:18.579><c> in</c><00:40:18.900><c> front</c><00:40:19.039><c> of</c><00:40:19.260><c> him,</c><00:40:19.519><c> before</c><00:40:20.019><c> thee,</c><00:40:20.420><c> it</c><00:40:20.719><c> says.</c>

00:40:21.579 --> 00:40:24.380
Now,<00:40:21.840><c> how</c><00:40:22.039><c> do</c><00:40:22.199><c> we</c><00:40:22.300><c> know</c><00:40:22.460><c> that</c><00:40:22.599><c> this</c><00:40:22.820><c> refers</c><00:40:23.139><c> to</c><00:40:23.380><c> Christ?</c>

00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:27.219
Well,<00:40:24.840><c> in</c><00:40:24.900><c> Luke</c><00:40:25.119><c> chapter</c><00:40:25.500><c> 1,</c><00:40:25.900><c> we</c><00:40:26.139><c> have</c><00:40:26.340><c> a</c><00:40:26.579><c> direct</c><00:40:26.820><c> reference</c>

When<00:40:34.940><c> the</c><00:40:35.179><c> angel</c><00:40:35.400><c> came</c><00:40:35.659><c> into</c><00:40:35.840><c> Mary,</c><00:40:37.300><c> in</c><00:40:37.460><c> verse</c><00:40:37.699><c> 30,</c>

00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:43.199

In<00:40:45.980><c> verse</c><00:40:46.239><c> 30,</c>

00:40:47.099 --> 00:40:48.679
And<00:40:47.260><c> the</c><00:40:47.300><c> angel</c><00:40:47.619><c> said</c><00:40:47.860><c> unto</c><00:40:48.079><c> her,</c>

00:40:48.860 --> 00:40:52.320
Fear<00:40:49.119><c> not,</c><00:40:49.460><c> Mary,</c><00:40:50.159><c> for</c><00:40:50.320><c> thou</c><00:40:50.539><c> hast</c><00:40:50.780><c> found</c><00:40:51.139><c> favor</c><00:40:51.639><c> with</c><00:40:51.860><c> God.</c>

00:40:52.460 --> 00:40:54.800
And<00:40:52.599><c> behold,</c><00:40:53.119><c> thou</c><00:40:53.320><c> shalt</c><00:40:53.559><c> conceive</c><00:40:54.079><c> in</c><00:40:54.239><c> thy</c><00:40:54.480><c> womb,</c>

00:40:58.760 --> 00:41:01.920
He<00:40:59.039><c> shall</c><00:40:59.219><c> be</c><00:40:59.519><c> great,</c><00:41:00.219><c> and</c><00:41:00.340><c> shall</c><00:41:00.500><c> be</c><00:41:00.719><c> called</c><00:41:00.920><c> the</c><00:41:01.079><c> Son</c><00:41:01.239><c> of</c><00:41:01.360><c> the</c><00:41:01.519><c> Highest.</c>

00:41:01.960 --> 00:41:02.699
Remember<00:41:02.260><c> what</c><00:41:02.500><c> it</c><00:41:02.500><c> said?</c>

00:41:02.699 --> 00:41:05.699
I<00:41:02.860><c> will</c><00:41:03.039><c> be</c><00:41:03.199><c> his</c><00:41:03.460><c> father,</c><00:41:03.880><c> and</c><00:41:03.880><c> he</c><00:41:04.119><c> shall</c><00:41:04.239><c> be</c><00:41:04.400><c> my</c><00:41:04.679><c> son.</c>

00:41:11.099 --> 00:41:13.800
And<00:41:11.300><c> he</c><00:41:11.579><c> shall</c><00:41:11.760><c> reign</c><00:41:12.159><c> over</c><00:41:12.360><c> the</c><00:41:12.480><c> house</c><00:41:12.760><c> of</c><00:41:12.900><c> Jacob</c><00:41:13.239><c> forever,</c>

00:41:16.880 --> 00:41:19.599
So<00:41:17.320><c> now</c><00:41:17.539><c> we're</c><00:41:17.719><c> starting</c><00:41:18.000><c> to</c><00:41:18.159><c> have</c><00:41:18.280><c> a</c><00:41:18.480><c> connection</c><00:41:18.760><c> between</c>

00:41:27.480 --> 00:41:31.500
Jesus<00:41:27.920><c> is</c><00:41:28.179><c> to</c><00:41:28.300><c> be</c><00:41:28.460><c> that</c><00:41:28.739><c> King,</c><00:41:29.300><c> fulfilling</c><00:41:29.739><c> the</c><00:41:30.059><c> promises</c><00:41:30.440><c> made</c><00:41:30.699><c> to</c><00:41:30.960><c> Abraham,</c>

00:41:34.840 --> 00:41:37.510
I<00:41:34.940><c> want</c><00:41:35.039><c> to</c><00:41:35.159><c> give</c><00:41:35.280><c> one</c><00:41:35.539><c> last</c><00:41:35.880><c> example,</c><00:41:36.559><c> Psalm</c><00:41:36.719><c> 8.</c>

00:41:40.579 --> 00:41:43.150

We<00:42:01.780><c> read,</c>

00:42:07.219 --> 00:42:09.579
That's<00:42:07.780><c> this</c><00:42:08.019><c> world</c><00:42:08.340><c> that</c><00:42:08.519><c> we've</c><00:42:08.719><c> been</c><00:42:08.860><c> talking</c><00:42:09.139><c> about,</c>

00:42:33.019 --> 00:42:36.820
Now<00:42:33.659><c> we</c><00:42:34.300><c> have</c><00:42:34.500><c> an</c><00:42:34.659><c> explanation</c><00:42:35.159><c> of</c><00:42:35.340><c> this</c><00:42:35.559><c> quotation.</c>

00:42:37.099 --> 00:42:40.539

But<00:42:44.900><c> now</c><00:42:45.239><c> we</c><00:42:45.559><c> see</c><00:42:45.860><c> not</c><00:42:46.500><c> yet</c><00:42:47.440><c> all</c><00:42:48.380><c> things</c><00:42:48.760><c> put</c><00:42:49.000><c> under</c><00:42:49.300><c> him.</c>

But<00:42:58.840><c> we</c><00:42:59.320><c> do</c><00:42:59.699><c> see,</c><00:42:59.980><c> we</c><00:43:00.320><c> see</c><00:43:00.679><c> Jesus,</c>

00:43:01.780 --> 00:43:05.420
who<00:43:02.099><c> was</c><00:43:02.480><c> indeed</c><00:43:02.920><c> made</c><00:43:03.239><c> a</c><00:43:03.400><c> little</c><00:43:03.639><c> lower</c><00:43:03.980><c> than</c><00:43:04.199><c> the</c><00:43:04.460><c> angels.</c>

00:43:05.659 --> 00:43:08.860
For<00:43:05.840><c> the</c><00:43:06.159><c> suffering</c><00:43:06.500><c> of</c><00:43:06.739><c> death,</c><00:43:06.980><c> or</c><00:43:07.179><c> because</c><00:43:07.559><c> he</c><00:43:07.880><c> suffered</c><00:43:08.340><c> death,</c>

00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:11.880
he's<00:43:09.579><c> now</c><00:43:09.860><c> been</c><00:43:10.280><c> crowned</c><00:43:10.780><c> with</c><00:43:11.019><c> glory</c><00:43:11.360><c> and</c><00:43:11.599><c> honor</c>

00:43:11.880 --> 00:43:15.019
that<00:43:12.460><c> he,</c><00:43:12.820><c> by</c><00:43:13.019><c> the</c><00:43:13.199><c> grace</c><00:43:13.440><c> of</c><00:43:13.639><c> God,</c><00:43:13.940><c> should</c><00:43:14.139><c> taste</c><00:43:14.420><c> death</c><00:43:14.719><c> for</c>

00:43:15.019 --> 00:43:16.119
every<00:43:15.199><c> man.</c>

00:43:17.420 --> 00:43:20.519
So<00:43:17.739><c> we're</c><00:43:17.920><c> in</c><00:43:18.099><c> the</c><00:43:18.260><c> middle</c><00:43:18.460><c> of</c><00:43:18.659><c> the</c><00:43:18.840><c> fulfillment</c><00:43:19.320><c> of</c><00:43:19.699><c> Psalm</c><00:43:19.960><c> 8.</c>

00:43:20.900 --> 00:43:22.519
He<00:43:21.000><c> was</c><00:43:21.260><c> made</c><00:43:21.500><c> lower</c><00:43:21.739><c> than</c><00:43:21.920><c> the</c><00:43:22.199><c> angels.</c>

00:43:22.900 --> 00:43:24.079
He<00:43:23.099><c> was</c><00:43:23.400><c> made</c><00:43:23.699><c> mortal.</c>

00:43:24.219 --> 00:43:25.420
He<00:43:24.519><c> shared</c><00:43:24.760><c> our</c><00:43:25.039><c> nature.</c>

00:43:25.880 --> 00:43:27.420
He<00:43:26.039><c> was</c><00:43:26.340><c> tempted</c><00:43:26.659><c> like</c><00:43:26.940><c> we</c><00:43:27.199><c> are.</c>

00:43:27.420 --> 00:43:28.639
He<00:43:27.659><c> remained</c><00:43:28.099><c> sinless.</c>

00:43:28.659 --> 00:43:29.800
He<00:43:28.780><c> was</c><00:43:29.000><c> put</c><00:43:29.239><c> to</c><00:43:29.480><c> death.</c>

00:43:30.099 --> 00:43:32.119
He<00:43:30.280><c> remained</c><00:43:30.579><c> obedient</c><00:43:31.159><c> unto</c><00:43:31.480><c> the</c><00:43:31.820><c> death,</c>

00:43:32.260 --> 00:43:34.039
and<00:43:32.380><c> at</c><00:43:32.519><c> the</c><00:43:32.659><c> death</c><00:43:32.820><c> on</c><00:43:33.019><c> the</c><00:43:33.199><c> cross.</c>

00:43:34.480 --> 00:43:38.000
And<00:43:34.639><c> as</c><00:43:34.840><c> a</c><00:43:34.980><c> result,</c><00:43:35.519><c> God</c><00:43:35.900><c> has</c><00:43:36.260><c> highly</c><00:43:36.619><c> exalted</c><00:43:37.059><c> him.</c>

00:43:38.099 --> 00:43:40.719
He's<00:43:38.460><c> given</c><00:43:38.699><c> him</c><00:43:39.360><c> glory</c><00:43:40.000><c> and</c><00:43:40.320><c> honor.</c>

00:43:41.119 --> 00:43:43.719
And<00:43:41.400><c> we</c><00:43:41.659><c> await</c><00:43:42.139><c> the</c><00:43:42.519><c> day</c><00:43:42.719><c> when</c><00:43:42.880><c> he</c><00:43:43.159><c> returns</c>

00:43:43.719 --> 00:43:46.579
to<00:43:44.300><c> establish</c><00:43:44.719><c> his</c><00:43:44.980><c> kingdom</c><00:43:45.260><c> upon</c><00:43:45.559><c> the</c><00:43:45.800><c> earth.</c>

00:43:49.360 --> 00:43:52.619
I've<00:43:49.960><c> tried</c><00:43:50.099><c> to</c><00:43:50.300><c> give</c><00:43:50.440><c> you</c><00:43:51.300><c> these</c><00:43:51.820><c> three</c><00:43:52.059><c> examples</c>

00:43:52.619 --> 00:43:55.300
from<00:43:53.260><c> the</c><00:43:53.539><c> three</c><00:43:53.699><c> different</c><00:43:54.000><c> parts</c><00:43:54.280><c> of</c><00:43:54.480><c> the</c><00:43:54.599><c> Old</c><00:43:54.780><c> Testament,</c>

00:43:55.300 --> 00:43:57.699
the<00:43:55.880><c> law</c><00:43:56.219><c> and</c><00:43:56.460><c> the</c><00:43:56.679><c> prophets</c><00:43:56.900><c> and</c><00:43:57.079><c> the</c><00:43:57.280><c> writings,</c>

00:43:57.960 --> 00:43:59.880
to<00:43:58.519><c> show</c><00:43:58.760><c> you</c><00:43:59.019><c> the</c><00:43:59.239><c> kinds</c><00:43:59.480><c> of</c><00:43:59.659><c> things</c>

00:43:59.880 --> 00:44:02.679
that<00:44:00.159><c> Jesus</c><00:44:00.659><c> probably</c><00:44:01.619><c> taught</c><00:44:01.860><c> his</c><00:44:02.119><c> disciples</c>

00:44:02.679 --> 00:44:05.019
when<00:44:03.179><c> he</c><00:44:03.340><c> was</c><00:44:03.559><c> teaching</c><00:44:03.920><c> them</c><00:44:04.239><c> about</c><00:44:04.559><c> him</c>

00:44:05.019 --> 00:44:08.460
from<00:44:05.559><c> the</c><00:44:05.820><c> Scriptures,</c><00:44:06.739><c> from</c><00:44:07.019><c> the</c><00:44:07.219><c> Old</c><00:44:07.420><c> Testament.</c>

00:44:09.340 --> 00:44:11.719
The<00:44:09.619><c> next</c><00:44:09.960><c> question</c><00:44:10.500><c> that</c><00:44:10.679><c> has</c><00:44:10.940><c> to</c><00:44:11.099><c> be</c><00:44:11.280><c> asked</c><00:44:11.500><c> is,</c>

00:44:11.840 --> 00:44:15.139
now<00:44:11.980><c> that</c><00:44:12.199><c> we</c><00:44:12.659><c> have</c><00:44:12.960><c> seen</c><00:44:13.199><c> a</c><00:44:13.300><c> little</c><00:44:13.539><c> bit</c><00:44:13.699><c> about</c><00:44:13.940><c> the</c><00:44:14.159><c> gospel,</c>

00:44:15.400 --> 00:44:17.579
after<00:44:15.719><c> we</c><00:44:15.960><c> come</c><00:44:16.159><c> to</c><00:44:16.320><c> an</c><00:44:16.519><c> understanding</c><00:44:16.960><c> of</c><00:44:17.179><c> it,</c>

00:44:17.719 --> 00:44:21.019
what<00:44:18.000><c> must</c><00:44:18.300><c> we</c><00:44:18.480><c> do</c><00:44:18.639><c> to</c><00:44:18.760><c> be</c><00:44:19.039><c> associated</c><00:44:19.539><c> with</c><00:44:19.760><c> its</c><00:44:20.000><c> blessings?</c>

00:44:21.179 --> 00:44:23.019
Is<00:44:21.420><c> it</c><00:44:21.659><c> sufficient</c><00:44:22.139><c> just</c><00:44:22.480><c> to</c><00:44:22.719><c> say,</c>

00:44:23.019 --> 00:44:24.579
okay,<00:44:23.739><c> I</c><00:44:23.980><c> understand.</c>

00:44:24.739 --> 00:44:26.940
I<00:44:24.920><c> see</c><00:44:25.219><c> what</c><00:44:25.400><c> the</c><00:44:25.619><c> principles</c><00:44:25.920><c> are.</c>

00:44:27.320 --> 00:44:31.019
And<00:44:27.539><c> then</c><00:44:27.679><c> we</c><00:44:27.920><c> have</c><00:44:28.099><c> the</c><00:44:28.280><c> blessings</c><00:44:28.659><c> of</c><00:44:28.880><c> those,</c><00:44:29.780><c> the</c><00:44:30.019><c> Gospels.</c>

00:44:31.059 --> 00:44:31.860
The<00:44:31.199><c> answer</c><00:44:31.480><c> is</c><00:44:31.639><c> no.</c>

00:44:31.920 --> 00:44:35.159
We've<00:44:32.199><c> already</c><00:44:32.539><c> seen</c><00:44:32.840><c> a</c><00:44:33.000><c> bit</c><00:44:33.099><c> of</c><00:44:33.320><c> this</c><00:44:33.840><c> in</c><00:44:34.199><c> Mark</c><00:44:34.440><c> 16.</c>

00:44:35.360 --> 00:44:36.900
Remember<00:44:35.679><c> what</c><00:44:35.860><c> it</c><00:44:36.059><c> said?</c>

00:44:38.599 --> 00:44:39.360
What<00:44:38.840><c> did</c><00:44:39.000><c> they</c><00:44:39.079><c> believe?</c>

00:44:39.440 --> 00:44:41.579
The<00:44:39.500><c> gospel</c><00:44:39.960><c> which</c><00:44:40.199><c> was</c><00:44:40.420><c> preached</c><00:44:40.719><c> unto</c><00:44:40.920><c> them,</c>

00:44:41.980 --> 00:44:44.739
and<00:44:42.380><c> is</c><00:44:42.900><c> baptized</c><00:44:43.739><c> shall</c><00:44:44.079><c> be</c><00:44:44.360><c> saved,</c>

00:44:45.079 --> 00:44:48.679
but<00:44:45.179><c> he</c><00:44:45.420><c> that</c><00:44:45.639><c> believeth</c><00:44:45.940><c> not</c><00:44:46.239><c> shall</c><00:44:46.559><c> be</c><00:44:47.780><c> damned.</c>

00:44:49.139 --> 00:44:51.539
We<00:44:49.380><c> want</c><00:44:49.559><c> to</c><00:44:49.659><c> look</c><00:44:49.800><c> at</c><00:44:49.940><c> one</c><00:44:50.159><c> more</c><00:44:50.360><c> passage</c><00:44:50.760><c> out</c><00:44:50.940><c> of</c><00:44:51.119><c> Galatians.</c>

00:44:51.539 --> 00:44:53.579
Galatians<00:44:52.079><c> chapter</c><00:44:52.440><c> three</c><00:44:52.739><c> again.</c>

00:44:57.239 --> 00:44:59.500
And<00:44:57.360><c> see</c><00:44:57.739><c> the</c><00:44:58.000><c> connection</c><00:44:58.380><c> being</c><00:44:58.659><c> made.</c>

00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:02.380
Galatians<00:45:00.860><c> chapter</c><00:45:01.239><c> three,</c>

00:45:03.659 --> 00:45:06.059
and<00:45:03.940><c> let's</c><00:45:04.139><c> start</c><00:45:04.380><c> at</c><00:45:04.519><c> verse</c><00:45:04.739><c> 23.</c>

00:45:06.440 --> 00:45:07.920
But<00:45:06.619><c> before</c><00:45:07.139><c> faith</c><00:45:07.519><c> came,</c>

00:45:08.079 --> 00:45:14.280
we<00:45:08.219><c> were</c><00:45:08.500><c> kept</c><00:45:08.820><c> unto</c><00:45:09.119><c> the</c><00:45:09.360><c> law,</c><00:45:09.900><c> shut</c><00:45:10.000><c> up</c><00:45:10.920><c> unto</c><00:45:13.739><c> the</c><00:45:14.019><c> faith,</c>

00:45:14.760 --> 00:45:16.880
which<00:45:14.760><c> should</c><00:45:15.019><c> afterwards</c><00:45:15.539><c> be</c><00:45:15.860><c> revealed.</c>

00:45:17.500 --> 00:45:19.940
Wherefore<00:45:17.920><c> the</c><00:45:18.039><c> law</c><00:45:18.300><c> was</c><00:45:18.539><c> our</c><00:45:18.960><c> schoolmaster</c>

00:45:22.280 --> 00:45:23.500
But<00:45:22.360><c> after</c><00:45:22.679><c> the</c><00:45:22.920><c> faith</c><00:45:23.079><c> has</c><00:45:23.340><c> come,</c>

00:45:23.559 --> 00:45:25.599
we<00:45:23.659><c> are</c><00:45:23.800><c> no</c><00:45:23.980><c> longer</c><00:45:24.280><c> under</c><00:45:24.699><c> a</c><00:45:24.900><c> schoolmaster.</c>

00:45:25.960 --> 00:45:29.900

00:45:30.400 --> 00:45:33.820
For<00:45:30.599><c> as</c><00:45:30.840><c> many</c><00:45:31.019><c> of</c><00:45:31.260><c> you</c><00:45:31.800><c> as</c><00:45:32.260><c> have</c><00:45:32.400><c> been</c><00:45:32.679><c> baptized</c><00:45:33.159><c> into</c><00:45:33.380><c> Christ,</c>

00:45:35.440 --> 00:45:36.980
There<00:45:35.599><c> is</c><00:45:35.780><c> neither</c><00:45:36.019><c> Jew</c><00:45:36.460><c> nor</c><00:45:36.699><c> Greek.</c>

00:45:40.579 --> 00:45:43.420
For<00:45:40.820><c> you're</c><00:45:41.199><c> all</c><00:45:41.599><c> one</c><00:45:42.039><c> in</c><00:45:42.559><c> Christ</c><00:45:42.860><c> Jesus.</c>

00:45:43.760 --> 00:45:47.320
And<00:45:44.119><c> if</c><00:45:44.420><c> ye</c><00:45:44.599><c> be</c><00:45:44.840><c> Christ's,</c><00:45:45.739><c> if</c><00:45:45.980><c> you</c><00:45:46.219><c> belong</c><00:45:46.579><c> to</c><00:45:46.840><c> Christ,</c>

00:45:47.320 --> 00:45:51.300
then<00:45:48.179><c> are</c><00:45:48.440><c> you</c><00:45:48.679><c> Abraham's</c><00:45:49.380><c> seed</c><00:45:49.900><c> and</c><00:45:50.420><c> heirs</c><00:45:50.719><c> according</c><00:45:51.099><c> to</c>

the<00:45:51.400><c> promise.</c>

00:45:52.519 --> 00:45:54.840
So<00:45:52.739><c> not</c><00:45:53.039><c> only</c><00:45:53.280><c> is</c><00:45:53.500><c> Christ</c><00:45:53.900><c> the</c><00:45:54.119><c> seed</c><00:45:54.280><c> of</c><00:45:54.500><c> Abraham,</c>

00:45:55.159 --> 00:45:57.639
we<00:45:55.440><c> can</c><00:45:55.659><c> become</c><00:45:55.900><c> part</c><00:45:56.119><c> of</c><00:45:56.260><c> the</c><00:45:56.380><c> seed</c><00:45:56.539><c> of</c><00:45:56.719><c> Abraham</c><00:45:57.039><c> also</c>

00:46:07.159 --> 00:46:08.139
We<00:46:07.440><c> won't</c><00:46:07.679><c> continue.</c>

00:46:08.239 --> 00:46:12.739
We<00:46:08.380><c> have</c><00:46:08.699><c> to</c><00:46:10.460><c> search</c><00:46:11.159><c> the</c><00:46:11.400><c> scriptures</c><00:46:11.719><c> to</c><00:46:12.039><c> see</c>

00:46:12.739 --> 00:46:14.559
what<00:46:13.159><c> has</c><00:46:13.400><c> to</c><00:46:13.519><c> be</c><00:46:13.639><c> done</c><00:46:13.739><c> after</c><00:46:14.059><c> baptism.</c>

00:46:14.920 --> 00:46:16.900
We<00:46:15.159><c> have</c><00:46:15.360><c> to</c><00:46:15.519><c> walk</c><00:46:15.760><c> in</c><00:46:15.980><c> newness</c><00:46:16.239><c> of</c><00:46:16.500><c> life.</c>

00:46:16.900 --> 00:46:20.820
We<00:46:17.340><c> have</c><00:46:17.599><c> to</c><00:46:17.739><c> walk</c><00:46:18.079><c> worthy</c><00:46:18.780><c> of</c><00:46:18.940><c> the</c><00:46:19.119><c> vocation</c><00:46:19.559><c> wherewith</c><00:46:20.659><c> we</c>

00:46:20.820 --> 00:46:22.239
have<00:46:20.920><c> been</c><00:46:21.139><c> called.</c>

00:46:22.440 --> 00:46:25.820
In<00:46:22.519><c> other</c><00:46:22.699><c> words,</c><00:46:22.920><c> we</c><00:46:22.980><c> have</c><00:46:23.199><c> to</c><00:46:23.420><c> continue</c><00:46:24.000><c> in</c><00:46:24.360><c> faithful</c><00:46:24.659><c> obedience,</c>

00:46:25.860 --> 00:46:28.559
in<00:46:26.019><c> patient</c><00:46:26.340><c> waiting</c><00:46:26.699><c> for</c><00:46:27.019><c> Christ</c><00:46:27.360><c> to</c><00:46:27.579><c> return.</c>

00:46:28.880 --> 00:46:33.940
So<00:46:29.039><c> let's</c><00:46:31.039><c> summarize</c><00:46:31.780><c> briefly</c><00:46:32.639><c> what</c><00:46:32.860><c> we've</c><00:46:33.179><c> covered.</c>

00:46:34.219 --> 00:46:36.440
We've<00:46:34.519><c> tried</c><00:46:34.619><c> to</c><00:46:34.780><c> make</c><00:46:34.920><c> the</c><00:46:35.099><c> following</c><00:46:35.420><c> points.</c>

00:46:36.679 --> 00:46:41.780
First,<00:46:37.960><c> the</c><00:46:38.059><c> gospel</c><00:46:38.500><c> is</c><00:46:38.760><c> the</c><00:46:39.059><c> good</c><00:46:39.300><c> news</c><00:46:39.800><c> of</c><00:46:40.500><c> the</c><00:46:40.679><c> kingdom</c><00:46:40.960><c> of</c><00:46:41.219><c> God</c>

00:46:41.780 --> 00:46:43.840
and<00:46:42.099><c> the</c><00:46:42.179><c> name</c><00:46:42.380><c> of</c><00:46:42.579><c> Jesus</c><00:46:42.860><c> Christ.</c>

00:46:44.179 --> 00:46:48.800
Second,<00:46:45.460><c> Jesus</c><00:46:45.920><c> and</c><00:46:46.179><c> the</c><00:46:46.380><c> apostles</c><00:46:46.860><c> preached</c><00:46:47.579><c> the</c><00:46:47.900><c> gospel.</c>

00:46:49.500 --> 00:46:52.340
Third,<00:46:50.639><c> the</c><00:46:50.739><c> gospel</c><00:46:51.139><c> is</c><00:46:51.579><c> important</c>

00:46:52.340 --> 00:46:56.039
and<00:46:53.019><c> we</c><00:46:53.159><c> must</c><00:46:53.440><c> be</c><00:46:54.139><c> careful</c><00:46:54.440><c> to</c><00:46:54.699><c> learn</c><00:46:55.139><c> and</c><00:46:55.599><c> follow</c>

00:46:56.039 --> 00:46:58.780
the<00:46:56.420><c> Bible's</c><00:46:57.059><c> definition</c><00:46:57.519><c> of</c><00:46:57.699><c> the</c><00:46:57.860><c> gospel.</c>

00:46:59.159 --> 00:47:02.260
Fourth,<00:47:00.440><c> the</c><00:47:00.559><c> gospel</c><00:47:00.880><c> is</c><00:47:01.119><c> taught</c><00:47:01.300><c> throughout</c><00:47:01.780><c> the</c><00:47:02.019><c> Bible,</c>

00:47:02.420 --> 00:47:03.820
both<00:47:02.659><c> Old</c><00:47:02.920><c> and</c><00:47:02.960><c> New</c><00:47:03.219><c> Testaments.</c>

00:47:04.219 --> 00:47:06.960
So<00:47:04.380><c> we</c><00:47:04.500><c> must</c><00:47:04.760><c> study</c><00:47:05.079><c> both</c><00:47:05.380><c> of</c><00:47:05.500><c> them</c><00:47:05.639><c> to</c><00:47:05.840><c> learn</c><00:47:06.119><c> what</c><00:47:06.300><c> the</c><00:47:06.500><c> gospel</c><00:47:06.800><c> is</c>

00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:08.059
all<00:47:07.179><c> about.</c>

00:47:08.940 --> 00:47:12.400
And<00:47:09.179><c> fifth,</c><00:47:09.599><c> we</c><00:47:09.780><c> said</c><00:47:10.320><c> that</c><00:47:10.719><c> once</c><00:47:10.940><c> we've</c><00:47:11.280><c> learned</c><00:47:11.480><c> about</c><00:47:11.760><c> the</c><00:47:11.960><c> gospel,</c>

00:47:12.400 --> 00:47:15.239
once<00:47:12.780><c> we've</c><00:47:13.079><c> come</c><00:47:13.219><c> to</c><00:47:13.360><c> an</c><00:47:13.539><c> understanding</c><00:47:14.039><c> and</c><00:47:14.239><c> we</c><00:47:14.519><c> believe</c><00:47:14.719><c> it,</c>

00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:18.500
we<00:47:15.619><c> must</c><00:47:15.980><c> be</c><00:47:16.420><c> baptized</c><00:47:17.019><c> and</c><00:47:17.320><c> we</c><00:47:17.400><c> must</c><00:47:17.619><c> remain</c><00:47:17.960><c> faithful</c>

00:47:18.500 --> 00:47:22.059
in<00:47:19.039><c> order</c><00:47:19.280><c> to</c><00:47:19.460><c> inherit</c><00:47:19.719><c> its</c><00:47:20.019><c> blessings</c><00:47:20.420><c> that</c><00:47:20.780><c> have</c><00:47:20.920><c> to</c><00:47:21.199><c> offer.</c>

00:47:23.059 --> 00:47:26.860
So<00:47:23.260><c> now</c><00:47:23.480><c> we</c><00:47:23.679><c> ask</c><00:47:23.980><c> everyone</c><00:47:24.440><c> to</c><00:47:24.760><c> compare</c><00:47:25.019><c> what</c><00:47:25.340><c> their</c><00:47:25.559><c> church</c><00:47:25.860><c> teaches</c>

00:47:26.960 --> 00:47:30.019
with<00:47:27.360><c> what</c><00:47:27.539><c> the</c><00:47:27.739><c> Bible</c><00:47:27.960><c> teaches</c><00:47:28.360><c> concerning</c><00:47:28.800><c> the</c><00:47:29.059><c> gospel.</c>

00:47:30.199 --> 00:47:35.039
And<00:47:30.380><c> we'd</c><00:47:30.619><c> like</c><00:47:30.639><c> to</c><00:47:30.960><c> close</c><00:47:31.219><c> with</c><00:47:31.420><c> some</c><00:47:31.639><c> words</c><00:47:31.880><c> of</c><00:47:32.079><c> Paul</c><00:47:32.559><c> in</c><00:47:33.219><c> Acts</c><00:47:33.440><c> chapter</c><00:47:33.760><c> 17.</c>

00:47:35.119 --> 00:47:37.119
He<00:47:35.239><c> was</c><00:47:35.539><c> preaching</c><00:47:35.840><c> in</c><00:47:36.099><c> Athens.</c>

00:47:37.420 --> 00:47:40.079
He<00:47:37.559><c> was</c><00:47:37.800><c> preaching</c><00:47:38.099><c> in</c><00:47:38.320><c> a</c><00:47:38.460><c> city</c><00:47:38.619><c> that's</c><00:47:39.079><c> probably</c><00:47:39.340><c> not</c><00:47:39.699><c> unlike</c>

00:47:40.079 --> 00:47:41.599
the<00:47:40.280><c> city</c><00:47:40.500><c> that</c><00:47:40.699><c> we</c><00:47:40.900><c> have</c><00:47:41.079><c> today.</c>

00:47:41.599 --> 00:47:46.500
It<00:47:42.360><c> had</c><00:47:42.659><c> other</c><00:47:43.019><c> religions</c><00:47:43.420><c> to</c><00:47:43.739><c> offer</c><00:47:44.199><c> and</c><00:47:45.360><c> people</c><00:47:45.760><c> were</c><00:47:46.059><c> being</c>

00:47:49.380 --> 00:47:51.920
They<00:47:49.460><c> were</c><00:47:49.699><c> hearing</c><00:47:49.980><c> the</c><00:47:50.219><c> gospel</c><00:47:50.619><c> and</c><00:47:50.860><c> they</c><00:47:50.960><c> were</c><00:47:51.159><c> having</c><00:47:51.340><c> to</c><00:47:51.519><c> decide</c>

00:47:54.480 --> 00:47:59.099
