And<00:19:25.640><c> the</c><00:19:25.759><c> devil</c><00:19:25.960><c> said</c><00:19:26.160><c> unto</c><00:19:26.380><c> him,</c><00:19:27.259><c> All</c><00:19:27.480><c> this</c><00:19:27.759><c> power</c><00:19:28.240><c> will</c><00:19:28.460><c> I</c><00:19:28.680><c> give</c><00:19:28.859><c> thee,</c><00:19:29.500><c> and</c><00:19:29.680><c> the</c><00:19:29.940><c> glory</c><00:19:30.259><c> of</c><00:19:30.500><c> them.</c>

00:19:31.180 --> 00:19:34.259
For<00:19:31.299><c> that</c><00:19:31.500><c> is</c><00:19:31.680><c> delivered</c><00:19:32.039><c> unto</c><00:19:32.259><c> me,</c><00:19:32.539><c> and</c><00:19:32.640><c> to</c><00:19:32.779><c> whosoever</c><00:19:33.200><c> I</c><00:19:33.420><c> will</c><00:19:33.640><c> give</c><00:19:33.799><c> it.</c>

If<00:19:34.579><c> thou</c><00:19:34.779><c> therefore</c><00:19:35.200><c> wilt</c><00:19:35.400><c> worship</c><00:19:35.819><c> me,</c><00:19:36.220><c> all</c><00:19:36.720><c> shall</c><00:19:36.980><c> be</c><00:19:37.220><c> thine.</c>

00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:43.440
And<00:19:38.940><c> Jesus</c><00:19:39.299><c> answered</c><00:19:39.700><c> and</c><00:19:39.960><c> said,</c><00:19:41.299><c> Get</c><00:19:41.500><c> thee</c><00:19:41.759><c> behind</c><00:19:42.200><c> me,</c><00:19:42.519><c> Satan,</c><00:19:43.180><c> for</c>

00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:48.519
Thou<00:19:44.839><c> shalt</c><00:19:45.059><c> worship</c><00:19:45.559><c> the</c><00:19:45.859><c> Lord</c><00:19:46.160><c> thy</c><00:19:46.480><c> God,</c><00:19:47.279><c> and</c><00:19:47.500><c> him</c><00:19:47.680><c> only</c>

00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:54.680
And<00:19:50.500><c> so</c><00:19:50.599><c> we</c><00:19:50.720><c> see</c><00:19:50.839><c> the</c><00:19:51.059><c> complete</c><00:19:51.420><c> opposite</c><00:19:52.019><c> of</c><00:19:52.940><c> self</c><00:19:53.559><c>-pleasing.</c>

00:19:55.339 --> 00:19:57.740

There<00:19:58.160><c> was</c><00:19:58.420><c> never</c><00:19:58.839><c> any</c><00:19:59.299><c> attempt</c><00:19:59.660><c> by</c><00:19:59.920><c> Christ</c><00:20:00.200><c> to</c><00:20:00.460><c> take</c><00:20:00.619><c> it.</c>

00:20:02.259 --> 00:20:06.680

00:20:10.819 --> 00:20:13.720
See,<00:20:11.400><c> what</c><00:20:11.519><c> Christ</c><00:20:11.759><c> did</c><00:20:12.019><c> is</c><00:20:12.180><c> he</c><00:20:12.420><c> willingly</c><00:20:12.740><c> took</c><00:20:13.079><c> a</c><00:20:13.259><c> position</c>

00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:18.180
that<00:20:14.740><c> was</c><00:20:15.019><c> lower</c><00:20:15.480><c> than</c><00:20:15.799><c> perhaps</c><00:20:16.279><c> what</c><00:20:16.420><c> he</c><00:20:16.640><c> even</c><00:20:16.880><c> could</c><00:20:17.079><c> have</c><00:20:17.299><c> had.</c>

00:20:19.099 --> 00:20:22.099
He<00:20:19.420><c> humbled</c><00:20:19.720><c> himself</c><00:20:20.339><c> as</c><00:20:21.079><c> a</c><00:20:21.279><c> servant.</c>

00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:24.579
He<00:20:22.460><c> made</c><00:20:22.680><c> himself</c><00:20:23.119><c> of</c><00:20:23.500><c> no</c><00:20:23.920><c> reputation.</c>

00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:27.579
It<00:20:25.259><c> literally</c><00:20:25.660><c> means</c><00:20:26.059><c> that</c><00:20:26.279><c> he</c><00:20:26.619><c> emptied</c><00:20:27.039><c> himself.</c>

00:20:41.140 --> 00:20:45.160
It's<00:20:41.400><c> nothing</c><00:20:41.779><c> to</c><00:20:42.200><c> what</c><00:20:42.380><c> Christ</c><00:20:42.680><c> did</c><00:20:42.900><c> when</c><00:20:43.099><c> he</c><00:20:43.359><c> emptied</c><00:20:43.619><c> himself</c><00:20:43.940><c> for</c><00:20:44.119><c> us.</c>

00:20:57.480 --> 00:20:59.779
It<00:20:57.619><c> required</c><00:20:58.119><c> so</c><00:20:58.539><c> much</c><00:20:58.700><c> of</c><00:20:58.859><c> Christ.</c>

00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:02.980
And<00:21:00.359><c> yet</c><00:21:00.480><c> he</c><00:21:00.640><c> took</c><00:21:00.920><c> upon</c><00:21:01.180><c> himself</c><00:21:01.839><c> that</c><00:21:02.240><c> form</c><00:21:02.400><c> of</c><00:21:02.619><c> a</c><00:21:02.740><c> servant</c>

But<00:23:56.160><c> what</c><00:23:56.299><c> is</c><00:23:56.460><c> of</c><00:23:56.619><c> interest</c><00:23:56.920><c> for</c><00:23:57.220><c> us</c><00:23:57.440><c> as</c><00:23:57.619><c> we</c><00:23:57.779><c> consider</c><00:23:58.160><c> our</c><00:23:58.599><c> attitude</c><00:23:59.079><c> in</c><00:23:59.400><c> life</c>

00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:03.720

00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:08.099

00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:11.539
Let's<00:24:08.339><c> just</c><00:24:08.599><c> read</c><00:24:08.900><c> verse</c><00:24:09.160><c> 19</c><00:24:09.720><c> to</c><00:24:09.960><c> 23</c><00:24:10.380><c> together.</c>

00:24:12.579 --> 00:24:13.680
Paul<00:24:12.839><c> says,</c>

00:24:20.380 --> 00:24:24.160
For<00:24:20.720><c> I</c><00:24:20.839><c> have</c><00:24:21.140><c> no</c><00:24:21.460><c> man</c><00:24:21.819><c> like</c><00:24:22.160><c>-minded</c><00:24:22.500><c> who</c><00:24:23.039><c> will</c><00:24:23.319><c> naturally</c><00:24:23.779><c> care</c>

00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:29.079
for<00:24:25.640><c> all</c><00:24:25.960><c> seek</c><00:24:26.259><c> their</c><00:24:26.519><c> own,</c><00:24:27.140><c> not</c><00:24:27.500><c> the</c><00:24:27.740><c> things</c><00:24:28.319><c> which</c><00:24:28.900><c> are</c>

Jesus<00:24:29.440><c> Christ.</c>

00:24:31.220 --> 00:24:32.920
But<00:24:31.480><c> ye</c><00:24:31.759><c> know</c><00:24:31.940><c> the</c><00:24:32.119><c> proof</c><00:24:32.339><c> of</c><00:24:32.519><c> him,</c>

00:24:33.299 --> 00:24:35.819
that<00:24:33.460><c> as</c><00:24:33.720><c> a</c><00:24:33.880><c> son</c><00:24:34.000><c> with</c><00:24:34.259><c> the</c><00:24:34.420><c> Father</c><00:24:34.700><c> he</c><00:24:34.900><c> has</c><00:24:35.160><c> served</c><00:24:35.500><c> with</c><00:24:35.700><c> me</c>

in<00:24:35.920><c> the</c><00:24:36.099><c> gospel.</c>

00:24:36.940 --> 00:24:39.660
Him<00:24:37.180><c> therefore</c><00:24:37.700><c> I</c><00:24:38.259><c> hope</c><00:24:38.460><c> to</c><00:24:38.680><c> send</c><00:24:38.819><c> presently,</c>

00:24:39.700 --> 00:24:43.720
so<00:24:39.960><c> soon</c><00:24:40.279><c> as</c><00:24:40.500><c> I</c><00:24:40.640><c> shall</c><00:24:40.819><c> see</c><00:24:41.420><c> how</c><00:24:41.759><c> it</c><00:24:41.880><c> will</c><00:24:42.059><c> go</c><00:24:42.279><c> with</c><00:24:42.500><c> me.</c>

00:24:43.839 --> 00:24:46.799
Now,<00:24:44.539><c> it</c><00:24:44.619><c> seems</c><00:24:45.059><c> as</c><00:24:45.279><c> though</c><00:24:45.480><c> Timothy</c><00:24:45.880><c> here</c><00:24:46.180><c> kind</c><00:24:46.319><c> of</c><00:24:46.559><c> bursts</c>

00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:47.700

00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:50.119
It<00:24:48.599><c> seems</c><00:24:48.900><c> like</c><00:24:49.079><c> it's</c><00:24:49.200><c> kind</c><00:24:49.400><c> of</c><00:24:49.480><c> out</c><00:24:49.640><c> of</c><00:24:49.799><c> context.</c>

00:24:50.140 --> 00:24:52.180
He<00:24:50.259><c> just</c><00:24:50.440><c> kind</c><00:24:50.559><c> of</c><00:24:50.680><c> comes</c><00:24:50.839><c> in</c><00:24:51.000><c> and</c><00:24:51.059><c> says,</c><00:24:51.220><c> I'm</c><00:24:51.599><c> going</c><00:24:51.680><c> to</c><00:24:51.980><c> send</c>

00:24:54.700 --> 00:24:58.019
Let's<00:24:54.819><c> see</c><00:24:54.900><c> if</c><00:24:54.980><c> we</c><00:24:55.200><c> remember</c><00:24:55.500><c> back</c><00:24:55.839><c> from</c><00:24:56.059><c> Acts</c><00:24:56.299><c> chapter</c><00:24:56.619><c> 16</c><00:24:57.000><c> and</c><00:24:57.160><c> the</c><00:24:57.339><c> formation</c><00:24:57.819><c> of</c>

this<00:24:58.240><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:01.819
Because<00:25:00.000><c> we're</c><00:25:00.220><c> actually</c><00:25:00.460><c> introduced</c><00:25:00.940><c> to</c><00:25:01.119><c> Timothy</c><00:25:01.440><c> in</c><00:25:01.640><c> Acts</c>

00:25:03.140 --> 00:25:04.099
We<00:25:03.180><c> don't</c><00:25:03.319><c> have</c><00:25:03.480><c> to</c><00:25:03.559><c> turn</c><00:25:03.799><c> there.</c>

00:25:04.539 --> 00:25:06.640
But<00:25:04.680><c> that's</c><00:25:04.880><c> where</c><00:25:05.019><c> we're</c><00:25:05.240><c> introduced</c><00:25:05.500><c> to</c><00:25:05.740><c> Timothy.</c>

00:25:07.740 --> 00:25:11.339
And<00:25:07.940><c> Timothy</c><00:25:08.299><c> joined</c><00:25:08.779><c> Paul</c><00:25:09.259><c> and</c><00:25:09.599><c> Silas</c><00:25:10.299><c> and</c><00:25:10.640><c> Luke</c><00:25:10.940><c> in</c><00:25:11.119><c> their</c>

00:25:12.339 --> 00:25:16.220
It<00:25:13.000><c> was</c><00:25:13.819><c> Timothy</c><00:25:14.180><c> who,</c><00:25:14.460><c> along</c><00:25:14.720><c> with</c><00:25:14.960><c> Luke,</c><00:25:15.259><c> remained</c><00:25:15.619><c> behind</c>

00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:31.140
This<00:25:28.000><c> was</c><00:25:28.259><c> a</c><00:25:28.380><c> man</c><00:25:28.779><c> who</c><00:25:29.420><c> knew</c><00:25:29.900><c> the</c><00:25:30.180><c> brothers</c><00:25:30.440><c> and</c><00:25:30.680><c> sisters</c><00:25:30.920><c> in</c>

00:25:34.059 --> 00:25:36.279
There<00:25:34.339><c> was</c><00:25:34.519><c> a</c><00:25:34.700><c> comfort</c><00:25:35.019><c> level</c><00:25:35.339><c> that</c><00:25:35.460><c> would</c><00:25:35.619><c> have</c><00:25:35.759><c> been</c><00:25:36.039><c> shared</c>

00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:44.119
And<00:25:40.559><c> so</c><00:25:40.759><c> we</c><00:25:40.900><c> see</c><00:25:41.220><c> in</c><00:25:41.779><c> Philippians</c><00:25:42.279><c> 2</c><00:25:42.660><c> and</c><00:25:42.819><c> verse</c><00:25:43.079><c> 19</c>

00:28:56.000 --> 00:29:00.200
The<00:28:56.059><c> attitude</c><00:28:56.420><c> that</c><00:28:56.640><c> this</c><00:28:56.900><c> man</c><00:28:57.099><c> shows,</c><00:28:58.480><c> do</c><00:28:58.519><c> the</c><00:28:58.740><c> same</c><00:28:58.900><c> in</c><00:28:58.980><c> your</c><00:28:59.180><c> life.</c>

00:29:04.519 --> 00:29:07.319
Understanding<00:29:05.079><c> what</c><00:29:05.599><c> Timothy</c><00:29:05.980><c> was</c><00:29:06.259><c> like.</c>

00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:09.519
Naturally<00:29:07.859><c> caring</c><00:29:08.259><c> for</c><00:29:08.519><c> our</c><00:29:08.640><c> brothers</c><00:29:08.799><c> and</c><00:29:09.059><c> sisters.</c>

Humbling<00:29:10.440><c> ourselves.</c>

00:29:12.019 --> 00:29:15.200

00:29:15.740 --> 00:29:19.180

00:29:19.180 --> 00:29:23.140
Him,<00:29:19.619><c> therefore,</c><00:29:20.700><c> I</c><00:29:20.920><c> hope</c><00:29:21.099><c> to</c><00:29:21.380><c> send</c><00:29:21.539><c> presently,</c><00:29:22.119><c> Paul</c><00:29:22.339><c> said.</c>

00:29:23.259 --> 00:29:27.640
So<00:29:23.700><c> soon</c><00:29:24.140><c> as</c><00:29:24.680><c> I</c><00:29:24.819><c> shall</c><00:29:25.000><c> see</c><00:29:25.519><c> how</c><00:29:26.039><c> it</c><00:29:26.160><c> will</c><00:29:26.319><c> go</c><00:29:26.480><c> with</c><00:29:26.720><c> me.</c>

00:29:28.480 --> 00:29:32.900
And<00:29:28.779><c> as</c><00:29:28.960><c> we</c><00:29:29.160><c> read,</c><00:29:29.500><c> though,</c><00:29:29.640><c> Paul,</c><00:29:30.140><c> he</c><00:29:30.880><c> wanted</c><00:29:31.039><c> to</c><00:29:31.359><c> wait</c><00:29:31.660><c> to</c><00:29:32.119><c> send</c><00:29:32.279><c> Timothy</c><00:29:32.640><c> to</c>

00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:37.339
until<00:29:34.839><c> he</c><00:29:35.299><c> knew</c><00:29:35.559><c> of</c><00:29:35.799><c> his</c><00:29:35.980><c> own</c><00:29:36.180><c> situation.</c>

00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:39.759
He<00:29:37.619><c> wanted</c><00:29:37.759><c> to</c><00:29:37.980><c> see</c><00:29:38.220><c> first</c><00:29:38.480><c> how</c><00:29:38.660><c> he</c><00:29:38.880><c> was</c><00:29:39.079><c> going</c><00:29:39.259><c> to</c><00:29:39.539><c> fare.</c>

00:29:40.099 --> 00:29:42.700
But<00:29:40.319><c> in</c><00:29:40.539><c> the</c><00:29:40.759><c> interim,</c><00:29:41.019><c> he</c><00:29:41.140><c> wasn't</c><00:29:41.380><c> going</c><00:29:41.579><c> to</c><00:29:41.740><c> leave</c><00:29:41.859><c> them</c><00:29:42.059><c> high</c><00:29:42.259><c> and</c><00:29:42.519><c> dry.</c>

He<00:29:43.559><c> was</c><00:29:43.759><c> going</c><00:29:44.019><c> to</c><00:29:44.279><c> send</c><00:29:44.480><c> to</c><00:29:44.599><c> them</c><00:29:44.759><c> a</c><00:29:45.000><c> brother</c><00:29:45.359><c> that</c><00:29:46.019><c> they</c><00:29:46.359><c> had</c>

00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:51.619
And<00:29:49.579><c> it</c><00:29:49.660><c> was</c><00:29:49.779><c> that</c><00:29:50.019><c> outpouring</c><00:29:50.480><c> of</c><00:29:50.759><c> love</c><00:29:50.940><c> that</c><00:29:51.059><c> they</c><00:29:51.380><c> showed</c>

that<00:29:53.599><c> really</c><00:29:53.880><c> was</c><00:29:54.019><c> one</c><00:29:54.160><c> of</c><00:29:54.220><c> the</c><00:29:54.440><c> driving</c><00:29:54.740><c> factors</c><00:29:55.180><c> in</c><00:29:55.460><c> Paul</c><00:29:55.599><c> writing</c><00:29:55.960><c> this</c><00:29:56.240><c> epistle</c><00:29:56.519><c> in</c>

00:29:58.539 --> 00:30:01.180
And<00:29:58.700><c> so</c><00:29:58.779><c> we</c><00:29:58.920><c> now</c><00:29:59.079><c> turn</c><00:29:59.279><c> our</c><00:29:59.480><c> attention</c><00:29:59.799><c> to</c><00:29:59.980><c> the</c><00:30:00.299><c> third</c><00:30:00.539><c> example</c>

00:30:08.059 --> 00:30:12.019

00:30:12.660 --> 00:30:15.279
We<00:30:12.980><c> established</c><00:30:13.400><c> the</c><00:30:13.619><c> principle</c><00:30:14.059><c> that</c><00:30:14.279><c> Paul</c><00:30:14.559><c> was</c><00:30:14.859><c> laying</c><00:30:15.019><c> out</c>
