00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:40.299
My<00:00:36.880><c> dear</c><00:00:37.100><c> brothers</c><00:00:37.380><c> and</c><00:00:37.579><c> sisters,</c><00:00:38.340><c> sacrifice</c><00:00:39.000><c> has</c><00:00:39.299><c> been</c><00:00:39.439><c> the</c>

00:00:40.299 --> 00:00:41.859
story<00:00:40.640><c> of</c><00:00:40.840><c> the</c><00:00:41.000><c> Bible</c><00:00:41.200><c> ever</c><00:00:41.520><c> since</c><00:00:41.780><c> the</c>

00:00:41.859 --> 00:00:44.000
very<00:00:42.200><c> creation,</c><00:00:42.820><c> has</c><00:00:42.920><c> it</c><00:00:43.119><c> not?</c>

00:00:44.060 --> 00:00:48.060
We<00:00:44.240><c> have</c><00:00:44.500><c> found</c><00:00:44.780><c> that</c><00:00:45.600><c> the</c><00:00:46.399><c> man</c><00:00:46.899><c> in</c><00:00:47.079><c> the</c><00:00:47.219><c> Garden</c><00:00:47.420><c> of</c><00:00:47.619><c> Eden</c><00:00:47.799><c> had</c>

00:00:48.060 --> 00:00:49.539
to<00:00:48.219><c> be</c><00:00:48.439><c> covered</c><00:00:48.640><c> with</c><00:00:48.880><c> the</c><00:00:49.079><c> sacrifice</c>

00:00:49.539 --> 00:00:50.780
of<00:00:49.740><c> an</c><00:00:49.960><c> animal.</c>

00:00:50.939 --> 00:00:55.560
His<00:00:51.219><c> sin</c><00:00:51.380><c> had</c><00:00:51.619><c> to</c><00:00:51.799><c> be</c><00:00:51.960><c> set</c><00:00:52.179><c> aside</c><00:00:52.619><c> so</c><00:00:52.859><c> that</c><00:00:52.979><c> he</c><00:00:53.060><c> had</c><00:00:53.219><c> this</c><00:00:53.460><c> covering</c><00:00:53.740><c> of</c><00:00:54.000><c> righteousness</c><00:00:54.439><c> that</c><00:00:55.159><c> he</c><00:00:55.359><c> might</c>

00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:56.700
go<00:00:55.880><c> on.</c>

00:00:56.700 --> 00:01:00.219
We<00:00:57.000><c> found</c><00:00:57.340><c> that</c><00:00:57.880><c> even</c><00:00:58.240><c> after</c><00:00:58.539><c> they</c><00:00:58.700><c> were</c><00:00:58.979><c> driven</c><00:00:59.320><c> from</c><00:00:59.579><c> the</c><00:00:59.740><c> Garden</c><00:01:00.000><c> of</c>

00:01:00.219 --> 00:01:02.060
Eden,<00:01:00.460><c> they</c><00:01:00.600><c> were</c><00:01:00.939><c> set</c><00:01:01.259><c> in</c>

00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:04.840
a<00:01:02.299><c> position</c><00:01:02.799><c> whereby</c><00:01:03.219><c> they</c><00:01:03.399><c> could</c><00:01:03.619><c> bring</c><00:01:03.799><c> their</c><00:01:04.200><c> sacrifices</c>

00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:08.280
to<00:01:05.239><c> that</c><00:01:06.260><c> eastern</c><00:01:06.700><c> gate</c><00:01:07.120><c> to</c><00:01:07.459><c> get</c><00:01:07.900><c> forgiveness</c>

00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:09.480
of<00:01:08.700><c> sin.</c>

00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:12.040
So<00:01:09.760><c> we</c><00:01:09.920><c> find</c><00:01:10.159><c> that</c><00:01:10.459><c> sacrifice</c><00:01:11.040><c> was</c><00:01:11.260><c> something</c><00:01:11.579><c> that</c><00:01:11.760><c> is</c>

00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:13.079
absolutely<00:01:12.459><c> essential.</c>

00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:17.540
Since<00:01:13.819><c> we</c><00:01:14.079><c> are</c><00:01:14.280><c> gathered</c><00:01:14.519><c> here</c><00:01:14.879><c> this</c><00:01:15.200><c> week</c><00:01:15.739><c> to</c><00:01:16.579><c> be</c><00:01:16.900><c> taught</c><00:01:17.299><c> by</c>

00:01:17.540 --> 00:01:19.760
the<00:01:17.680><c> way</c><00:01:17.840><c> of</c><00:01:18.099><c> Almighty</c><00:01:18.439><c> God,</c><00:01:19.500><c> then</c><00:01:19.620><c> it</c>

00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:20.939
is<00:01:19.939><c> our</c><00:01:20.200><c> duty,</c><00:01:20.579><c> isn't</c><00:01:20.719><c> it?</c>

00:01:20.939 --> 00:01:25.540
It's<00:01:21.200><c> our</c><00:01:21.439><c> opportunity</c><00:01:22.420><c> to</c><00:01:23.140><c> learn</c><00:01:23.439><c> what</c><00:01:23.680><c> we</c><00:01:24.000><c> can</c><00:01:24.219><c> do</c><00:01:24.500><c> to</c><00:01:25.180><c> build</c>

00:01:25.540 --> 00:01:27.040
a<00:01:26.019><c> strong</c><00:01:26.400><c> ecclesia.</c>

00:01:27.459 --> 00:01:30.420
And<00:01:27.579><c> the</c><00:01:27.659><c> very</c><00:01:28.000><c> first</c><00:01:28.299><c> lesson</c><00:01:28.560><c> that</c><00:01:28.760><c> we</c><00:01:28.900><c> have</c><00:01:29.140><c> to</c><00:01:29.400><c> learn</c><00:01:29.579><c> is</c><00:01:29.819><c> that</c><00:01:29.980><c> it</c>

00:01:30.420 --> 00:01:32.560
can<00:01:30.659><c> only</c><00:01:30.959><c> happen</c><00:01:31.340><c> through</c><00:01:31.760><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:34.359
There's<00:01:33.219><c> no</c><00:01:33.439><c> question</c><00:01:33.799><c> about</c><00:01:34.120><c> this.</c>

00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.680
This<00:01:34.599><c> is</c><00:01:34.900><c> an</c><00:01:35.079><c> absolute,</c><00:01:36.000><c> a</c><00:01:36.540><c> fundamental</c><00:01:37.079><c> thing</c><00:01:37.620><c> that</c><00:01:38.040><c> we</c><00:01:38.219><c> have</c><00:01:38.439><c> learned.</c>

00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:43.060
In<00:01:38.939><c> fact,</c><00:01:39.780><c> baptism</c><00:01:40.180><c> teaches</c><00:01:40.840><c> us</c><00:01:41.200><c> that</c><00:01:41.379><c> as</c><00:01:41.680><c> we</c><00:01:41.980><c> approach</c><00:01:42.280><c> it.</c>

00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:48.099
We<00:01:43.319><c> find</c><00:01:43.640><c> out</c><00:01:43.959><c> that</c><00:01:44.659><c> unless</c><00:01:45.700><c> we</c><00:01:46.500><c> are</c><00:01:46.700><c> willing</c><00:01:46.959><c> to</c><00:01:47.299><c> die</c><00:01:47.659><c> and</c><00:01:47.879><c> be</c>

00:01:48.099 --> 00:01:50.200
buried,<00:01:48.620><c> there</c><00:01:48.780><c> is</c><00:01:49.019><c> no</c><00:01:49.219><c> hope</c><00:01:49.480><c> for</c><00:01:49.879><c> us.</c>

00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:53.959
It's<00:01:50.680><c> because</c><00:01:50.939><c> our</c><00:01:51.159><c> Lord</c><00:01:51.340><c> and</c><00:01:51.620><c> Savior</c><00:01:52.040><c> was</c><00:01:52.719><c> the</c><00:01:52.920><c> one</c><00:01:53.159><c> who</c><00:01:53.459><c> showed</c><00:01:53.659><c> us</c>

00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:54.439
the<00:01:54.120><c> way.</c>

00:01:54.579 --> 00:01:57.540
It<00:01:54.579><c> was</c><00:01:54.799><c> Jesus</c><00:01:55.239><c> Christ</c><00:01:55.819><c> who</c><00:01:56.299><c> did</c><00:01:56.480><c> the</c><00:01:56.659><c> will</c><00:01:56.760><c> of</c><00:01:56.920><c> his</c><00:01:57.099><c> Father</c>

00:01:57.540 --> 00:02:00.599
and<00:01:58.260><c> then</c><00:01:59.040><c> allowed</c><00:01:59.299><c> himself,</c><00:02:00.079><c> laid</c><00:02:00.260><c> down</c>

00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:02.359
his<00:02:00.859><c> life</c><00:02:01.280><c> for</c><00:02:01.840><c> all</c><00:02:02.079><c> of</c><00:02:02.200><c> us.</c>

00:02:02.540 --> 00:02:04.920
So<00:02:02.780><c> sacrifice</c><00:02:03.219><c> becomes</c><00:02:03.640><c> something</c><00:02:04.019><c> that</c><00:02:04.219><c> we</c><00:02:04.400><c> want</c><00:02:04.560><c> to</c><00:02:04.760><c> look</c>

00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:06.439
at<00:02:05.079><c> first</c><00:02:05.400><c> of</c><00:02:05.599><c> all.</c>

00:02:06.540 --> 00:02:08.939
I<00:02:06.560><c> should</c><00:02:06.739><c> have</c><00:02:06.879><c> grown</c><00:02:07.120><c> a</c><00:02:07.280><c> couple</c><00:02:07.519><c> of</c><00:02:07.700><c> inches</c><00:02:07.900><c> to</c><00:02:08.080><c> look</c><00:02:08.280><c> up</c><00:02:08.479><c> at</c><00:02:08.620><c> this.</c>

00:02:09.300 --> 00:02:12.039
It's<00:02:09.360><c> very</c><00:02:10.020><c> difficult</c><00:02:10.539><c> for</c><00:02:10.740><c> me</c><00:02:10.879><c> to</c><00:02:11.099><c> see</c><00:02:11.300><c> that.</c>

00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:16.979
Matthew<00:02:12.800><c> 10,</c><00:02:13.840><c> verses</c><00:02:14.379><c> 38</c><00:02:15.039><c> and</c><00:02:15.240><c> 39</c><00:02:15.719><c> is</c><00:02:15.919><c> where</c><00:02:16.039><c> we're</c><00:02:16.219><c> going</c><00:02:16.439><c> to</c><00:02:16.740><c> start.</c>

00:02:16.979 --> 00:02:19.900
If<00:02:17.479><c> I</c><00:02:17.599><c> don't</c><00:02:17.740><c> get</c><00:02:17.919><c> the</c><00:02:18.080><c> right</c><00:02:18.319><c> chapter</c><00:02:18.879><c> and</c><00:02:19.080><c> verse,</c><00:02:19.280><c> I</c><00:02:19.360><c> want</c><00:02:19.560><c> you</c><00:02:19.740><c> to</c>

00:02:19.900 --> 00:02:21.259
yell<00:02:20.060><c> it</c><00:02:20.259><c> out</c><00:02:20.400><c> and</c><00:02:20.580><c> tell</c><00:02:20.719><c> me</c><00:02:20.979><c> because</c>

00:02:21.259 --> 00:02:23.259
I'd<00:02:21.620><c> like</c><00:02:21.740><c> lots</c><00:02:22.000><c> of</c><00:02:22.180><c> help.</c>

00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:27.520
10th<00:02:24.180><c> chapter</c><00:02:24.740><c> of</c><00:02:25.699><c> Matthew</c><00:02:26.120><c> is</c><00:02:26.319><c> where</c><00:02:26.479><c> we're</c><00:02:26.639><c> looking</c><00:02:26.960><c> at.</c>

00:02:28.020 --> 00:02:35.180
Verses<00:02:28.560><c> 38</c><00:02:29.620><c> and</c><00:02:30.060><c> 39,</c><00:02:33.639><c> Jesus</c><00:02:33.979><c> says,</c>

00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:40.379
And<00:02:36.259><c> he</c><00:02:36.479><c> that</c><00:02:36.699><c> taketh</c><00:02:37.039><c> not</c><00:02:37.560><c> his</c><00:02:38.580><c> cross,</c><00:02:39.419><c> and</c><00:02:39.719><c> followeth</c><00:02:40.139><c> after</c>

00:02:40.379 --> 00:02:43.240
me,<00:02:41.120><c> is</c><00:02:41.240><c> not</c><00:02:41.560><c> worthy</c><00:02:41.879><c> of</c><00:02:42.159><c> me.</c>

00:02:43.580 --> 00:02:49.180
And<00:02:43.860><c> he</c><00:02:44.120><c> that</c><00:02:45.360><c> findeth</c><00:02:46.020><c> his</c><00:02:46.300><c> life</c><00:02:47.580><c> shall</c><00:02:48.479><c> lose</c><00:02:48.819><c> it.</c>

00:02:49.659 --> 00:02:54.500
And<00:02:49.900><c> he</c><00:02:50.080><c> that</c><00:02:50.300><c> loses</c><00:02:50.580><c> his</c><00:02:50.900><c> life</c><00:02:51.139><c> for</c><00:02:51.379><c> my</c><00:02:51.740><c> sake</c><00:02:52.319><c> shall</c><00:02:53.240><c> find</c><00:02:53.599><c> it.</c>

00:02:54.580 --> 00:02:58.719

00:03:38.379 --> 00:03:38.860
Why?

00:03:38.939 --> 00:03:40.500
Because<00:03:39.180><c> we</c><00:03:39.379><c> didn't</c><00:03:39.639><c> want</c><00:03:39.960><c> them</c><00:03:40.159><c> to</c><00:03:40.319><c> be?</c>

00:03:40.500 --> 00:03:43.759
No,<00:03:41.259><c> it's</c><00:03:41.659><c> because</c><00:03:42.099><c> they</c><00:03:42.400><c> had</c><00:03:42.580><c> to</c><00:03:42.699><c> make</c><00:03:42.840><c> up</c><00:03:43.000><c> their</c><00:03:43.259><c> mind</c><00:03:43.580><c> that</c>

Oh,<00:05:10.639><c> I</c><00:05:10.779><c> went</c><00:05:10.860><c> the</c><00:05:11.040><c> verse</c><00:05:11.300><c> before.</c>

00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:16.980
And<00:05:12.300><c> as</c><00:05:12.540><c> they</c><00:05:12.759><c> came</c><00:05:13.000><c> out,</c><00:05:13.720><c> they</c><00:05:13.920><c> found</c><00:05:14.300><c> a</c><00:05:14.639><c> man</c><00:05:14.839><c> of</c><00:05:15.120><c> Cyrene,</c><00:05:16.399><c> Simon</c><00:05:16.620><c> by</c>

00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:20.379
to<00:05:19.500><c> bear</c><00:05:19.639><c> his</c><00:05:19.980><c> cross.</c>

00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:23.459
Well,<00:05:22.100><c> that</c><00:05:22.360><c> is</c><00:05:22.699><c> not</c><00:05:22.879><c> our</c><00:05:23.139><c> position.</c>

00:05:23.540 --> 00:05:28.420
And<00:05:23.680><c> we</c><00:05:24.019><c> were</c><00:05:24.279><c> making</c><00:05:24.620><c> that</c><00:05:24.860><c> very</c><00:05:25.220><c> emphatic</c><00:05:25.779><c> because</c><00:05:26.839><c> everybody's</c><00:05:27.579><c> here</c><00:05:27.759><c> voluntarily.</c>

00:05:28.620 --> 00:05:31.300
Nobody<00:05:28.980><c> forced</c><00:05:29.579><c> us</c><00:05:29.860><c> to</c><00:05:30.040><c> come</c><00:05:30.160><c> to</c><00:05:30.360><c> this</c><00:05:30.540><c> Bible</c><00:05:30.879><c> school.</c>

00:05:31.300 --> 00:05:35.680
Nobody<00:05:31.920><c> forced</c><00:05:32.519><c> us</c><00:05:32.839><c> to</c><00:05:33.040><c> become</c><00:05:33.639><c> a</c><00:05:34.120><c> Christadelphian</c><00:05:35.060><c> brethren</c>

in<00:05:36.060><c> Christ.</c>

00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:37.560
Nobody's<00:05:36.920><c> done</c><00:05:37.019><c> that.</c>

00:05:37.899 --> 00:05:39.540
Nobody's<00:05:38.459><c> put</c><00:05:38.620><c> this.</c>

00:05:39.620 --> 00:05:43.740
And<00:05:39.819><c> we</c><00:05:40.019><c> have</c><00:05:40.939><c> reached</c><00:05:41.439><c> out</c><00:05:41.860><c> and</c><00:05:42.480><c> grasped</c><00:05:42.980><c> at</c><00:05:43.160><c> this</c><00:05:43.319><c> to</c><00:05:43.540><c> take</c>

00:05:43.740 --> 00:05:45.839
it<00:05:43.920><c> to</c><00:05:44.120><c> ourselves</c><00:05:44.620><c> that</c><00:05:45.060><c> our</c><00:05:45.339><c> flesh</c><00:05:45.579><c> might</c>

00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:46.339
be<00:05:46.100><c> killed.</c>

00:05:46.540 --> 00:05:48.120
And<00:05:46.720><c> that's</c><00:05:46.980><c> the</c><00:05:47.060><c> whole</c><00:05:47.300><c> point.</c>

00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:51.600
It's<00:05:48.839><c> interesting</c><00:05:49.259><c> that</c><00:05:49.540><c> the</c><00:05:49.660><c> word</c><00:05:49.920><c> cross,</c><00:05:50.620><c> historians</c><00:05:50.879><c> and</c>

00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:54.040
and<00:05:51.720><c> Bulliger</c><00:05:52.019><c> tells</c><00:05:52.339><c> us,</c><00:05:52.939><c> of</c><00:05:53.279><c> course,</c><00:05:54.040><c> that</c>

00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:58.600
this<00:05:54.680><c> is</c><00:05:54.959><c> a</c><00:05:55.060><c> word</c><00:05:55.220><c> that</c><00:05:55.819><c> is</c><00:05:56.180><c> used</c><00:05:56.360><c> only</c><00:05:57.060><c> of</c><00:05:57.600><c> a</c><00:05:57.860><c> singular</c><00:05:58.279><c> stake</c>

00:05:58.600 --> 00:05:59.959
or<00:05:58.939><c> post.</c>

00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:04.300
It's<00:06:00.959><c> in</c><00:06:01.019><c> his</c><00:06:01.279><c> appendix</c><00:06:01.759><c> 162</c><00:06:03.060><c> in</c><00:06:03.699><c> his</c><00:06:04.000><c> notes.</c>

00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:06.699
But<00:06:04.899><c> that</c><00:06:05.259><c> really</c><00:06:05.459><c> doesn't</c><00:06:05.740><c> matter,</c><00:06:06.220><c> does</c><00:06:06.319><c> it?</c>

00:06:07.100 --> 00:06:11.779
People<00:06:07.439><c> have</c><00:06:07.720><c> made</c><00:06:08.060><c> a</c><00:06:08.720><c> tremendous</c><00:06:09.480><c> business</c><00:06:10.259><c> out</c><00:06:10.579><c> of</c><00:06:11.019><c> a</c><00:06:11.339><c> cross.</c>

00:06:12.019 --> 00:06:13.040
For<00:06:12.220><c> what</c><00:06:12.420><c> purpose?</c>

00:06:13.420 --> 00:06:14.839
To<00:06:13.699><c> make</c><00:06:13.920><c> money?</c>

00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:17.199
To<00:06:16.120><c> impress</c><00:06:16.420><c> on</c><00:06:16.639><c> people's</c><00:06:17.120><c> mind?</c>

00:06:17.220 --> 00:06:17.819
I<00:06:17.379><c> don't</c><00:06:17.639><c> know.</c>

00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:22.660
And<00:06:18.019><c> I</c><00:06:18.079><c> don't</c><00:06:18.360><c> like</c><00:06:18.620><c> to</c><00:06:18.879><c> give</c><00:06:18.920><c> them,</c><00:06:21.360><c> impose</c><00:06:21.959><c> something</c><00:06:22.339><c> upon</c>

00:06:22.660 --> 00:06:23.959
them<00:06:22.839><c> that</c><00:06:23.000><c> they</c><00:06:23.259><c> didn't</c><00:06:23.519><c> intend.</c>

00:06:24.420 --> 00:06:28.060
But<00:06:24.600><c> it</c><00:06:24.759><c> is</c><00:06:25.120><c> not</c><00:06:25.639><c> that</c><00:06:26.399><c> piece</c><00:06:26.819><c> of</c><00:06:27.120><c> wood</c><00:06:27.240><c> that's</c><00:06:27.560><c> of</c><00:06:27.720><c> value.</c>

00:06:28.060 --> 00:06:33.139
We<00:06:28.639><c> went</c><00:06:28.860><c> to</c><00:06:29.060><c> one</c><00:06:29.300><c> place,</c><00:06:29.639><c> for</c><00:06:29.899><c> instance,</c><00:06:30.240><c> and</c><00:06:30.800><c> they</c><00:06:31.079><c> had</c><00:06:31.220><c> a</c><00:06:31.360><c> little</c><00:06:31.660><c> relic</c><00:06:32.420><c> in</c>

00:06:33.139 --> 00:06:36.019
a<00:06:33.519><c> box,</c><00:06:34.980><c> supposedly</c><00:06:35.420><c> a</c>

00:06:36.019 --> 00:06:39.040
piece<00:06:36.339><c> of</c><00:06:36.560><c> wood</c><00:06:36.660><c> that</c><00:06:36.939><c> came</c><00:06:37.199><c> from</c><00:06:37.420><c> the</c><00:06:37.579><c> cross</c><00:06:37.800><c> of</c><00:06:38.079><c> Christ.</c>

00:06:39.620 --> 00:06:42.540
And<00:06:39.720><c> the</c><00:06:40.379><c> priest</c><00:06:40.740><c> would</c><00:06:40.959><c> walk</c><00:06:41.220><c> along</c><00:06:41.519><c> and</c><00:06:41.680><c> people</c><00:06:41.920><c> would</c><00:06:42.180><c> kiss</c>

00:06:42.540 --> 00:06:43.899
that<00:06:42.899><c> box.</c>

00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:46.000
Look,<00:06:44.259><c> that's</c><00:06:44.639><c> not</c><00:06:44.920><c> the</c><00:06:45.139><c> answer.</c>

00:06:46.500 --> 00:06:49.439
We<00:06:46.660><c> don't</c><00:06:46.740><c> go</c><00:06:46.920><c> around</c><00:06:47.259><c> kissing</c><00:06:48.379><c> pieces</c><00:06:48.920><c> of</c><00:06:49.279><c> wood.</c>

00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:50.519
What<00:06:49.680><c> is</c><00:06:49.879><c> a</c><00:06:50.079><c> piece</c><00:06:50.279><c> of</c><00:06:50.439><c> wood?</c>

00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:51.399
It's<00:06:50.759><c> a</c><00:06:50.839><c> piece</c><00:06:51.040><c> of</c><00:06:51.259><c> wood.</c>

00:06:51.579 --> 00:06:53.680
It's<00:06:51.819><c> like</c><00:06:52.000><c> the</c><00:06:52.220><c> waters</c><00:06:52.439><c> of</c><00:06:52.720><c> baptism.</c>

00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:55.879
The<00:06:54.779><c> water</c><00:06:55.079><c> is</c><00:06:55.379><c> not</c><00:06:55.579><c> holy.</c>

00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.959
The<00:06:56.079><c> person</c><00:06:56.439><c> who</c><00:06:56.639><c> is</c><00:06:56.779><c> doing</c><00:06:57.060><c> it</c><00:06:57.300><c> is</c><00:06:57.459><c> not</c><00:06:57.680><c> holy,</c><00:06:58.339><c> not</c><00:06:58.620><c> something</c>

00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:00.579
that's<00:06:59.240><c> been</c><00:06:59.420><c> made</c><00:06:59.660><c> special.</c>

00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:04.600
We<00:07:00.980><c> think</c><00:07:01.319><c> of</c><00:07:01.540><c> the</c><00:07:01.860><c> mind</c><00:07:02.240><c> that</c><00:07:02.439><c> is</c><00:07:02.920><c> going</c><00:07:03.240><c> down</c><00:07:03.699><c> into</c><00:07:03.920><c> the</c><00:07:04.160><c> water,</c><00:07:04.399><c> the</c>

00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:06.439
mind<00:07:05.000><c> that</c><00:07:05.139><c> is</c><00:07:05.379><c> being</c><00:07:05.639><c> shaped</c><00:07:06.019><c> and</c>

00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:09.060
framed<00:07:06.699><c> by</c><00:07:07.019><c> Almighty</c><00:07:07.379><c> God,</c><00:07:08.360><c> is</c><00:07:08.660><c> intent.</c>

00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:10.660
That<00:07:09.500><c> is</c><00:07:09.759><c> what</c><00:07:09.899><c> is</c><00:07:10.220><c> important.</c>

00:07:11.060 --> 00:07:15.720
And<00:07:11.259><c> so</c><00:07:11.399><c> we're</c><00:07:11.720><c> not</c><00:07:12.019><c> concerned</c><00:07:12.620><c> of</c><00:07:13.139><c> just</c><00:07:13.540><c> how</c><00:07:14.079><c> the</c><00:07:14.360><c> cross</c><00:07:14.579><c> comes</c><00:07:14.939><c> about</c><00:07:15.300><c> or</c>

00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:17.899
how<00:07:16.639><c> it</c><00:07:17.220><c> was</c><00:07:17.500><c> done</c><00:07:17.720><c> that</c>

00:07:17.899 --> 00:07:20.079
Jesus<00:07:18.259><c> was</c><00:07:18.579><c> nailed</c><00:07:18.779><c> to</c><00:07:18.980><c> the</c><00:07:19.199><c> cross.</c>

00:07:24.899 --> 00:07:28.699
it<00:07:25.439><c> seems</c><00:07:25.939><c> that</c><00:07:27.420><c> the</c><00:07:27.800><c> cross</c><00:07:28.060><c> is</c><00:07:28.360><c> imposed</c>

00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:10.679

00:14:26.019 --> 00:14:28.559
It<00:14:26.139><c> is</c><00:14:26.399><c> that</c><00:14:26.720><c> spirit</c><00:14:27.080><c> that</c><00:14:27.240><c> is</c><00:14:27.440><c> going</c><00:14:27.600><c> to</c><00:14:27.759><c> make</c><00:14:27.840><c> it</c><00:14:28.159><c> possible</c>

00:14:35.539 --> 00:14:40.860
We<00:14:36.139><c> have</c><00:14:36.460><c> been</c><00:14:36.960><c> in</c><00:14:37.320><c> type,</c><00:14:37.960><c> well,</c><00:14:39.440><c> kind</c><00:14:39.580><c> of</c><00:14:39.679><c> as</c><00:14:39.860><c> a</c><00:14:40.159><c> foretaste</c><00:14:40.659><c> of</c>

00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:45.899
But<00:14:44.080><c> it's</c><00:14:44.279><c> going</c><00:14:44.360><c> to</c><00:14:44.460><c> be</c><00:14:44.679><c> much</c><00:14:44.940><c> greater</c><00:14:45.299><c> than</c><00:14:45.600><c> that.</c>

00:14:46.379 --> 00:14:47.440
That's<00:14:46.679><c> in</c><00:14:46.820><c> our</c><00:14:47.200><c> power.</c>

00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:50.600

00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:53.720
This<00:14:51.220><c> is</c><00:14:51.460><c> not</c><00:14:51.840><c> just</c><00:14:52.299><c> an</c><00:14:52.639><c> academic</c><00:14:53.059><c> exercise.</c>

00:14:54.059 --> 00:14:57.080
This<00:14:54.259><c> is</c><00:14:54.600><c> a</c><00:14:54.679><c> means</c><00:14:54.919><c> of</c><00:14:55.159><c> trying</c><00:14:55.320><c> to</c><00:14:55.539><c> replace</c><00:14:55.980><c> this</c><00:14:56.360><c> mind</c><00:14:56.720><c> with</c>

00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:09.480
That's<00:15:07.519><c> what's</c><00:15:07.700><c> going</c><00:15:07.840><c> to</c><00:15:07.980><c> bring</c><00:15:08.100><c> us</c><00:15:08.299><c> up</c><00:15:08.700><c> to</c><00:15:09.080><c> new</c><00:15:09.299><c> heights.</c>

00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:11.960
Oh,<00:15:10.059><c> some</c><00:15:10.279><c> people</c><00:15:10.559><c> will</c><00:15:10.759><c> be</c><00:15:10.919><c> brought</c><00:15:11.080><c> up</c><00:15:11.279><c> out</c><00:15:11.440><c> of</c><00:15:11.539><c> the</c><00:15:11.740><c> grave</c>

00:15:13.299 --> 00:15:14.820
Why<00:15:13.620><c> is</c><00:15:13.940><c> that?</c>

00:15:15.860 --> 00:15:20.039
Not<00:15:16.120><c> because</c><00:15:16.419><c> they're</c><00:15:16.600><c> any</c><00:15:16.820><c> different</c><00:15:17.120><c> than</c><00:15:17.419><c> we</c><00:15:17.759><c> are,</c><00:15:18.399><c> particularly,</c><00:15:19.519><c> except</c>

00:15:25.539 --> 00:15:26.779
One<00:15:25.820><c> will</c><00:15:26.100><c> go</c><00:15:26.419><c> on.</c>

00:15:27.100 --> 00:15:28.240
One<00:15:27.419><c> will</c><00:15:27.720><c> continue.</c>

00:15:28.460 --> 00:15:30.259

That's<00:15:57.519><c> right.</c>

00:15:57.820 --> 00:16:04.379

Our<00:16:09.039><c> ecclesia</c><00:16:09.559><c> depends</c><00:16:10.019><c> on</c><00:16:10.179><c> each</c><00:16:10.440><c> one</c><00:16:10.600><c> of</c><00:16:10.779><c> us.</c>

00:16:11.379 --> 00:16:17.320

00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:22.139
What<00:16:19.360><c> he's</c><00:16:19.659><c> done</c><00:16:19.879><c> is</c><00:16:20.100><c> he</c><00:16:20.200><c> looked</c><00:16:20.360><c> right,</c><00:16:20.600><c> I</c><00:16:20.860><c> want</c><00:16:21.159><c> you.</c>

00:16:26.139 --> 00:16:29.399

00:16:29.580 --> 00:16:30.779
Oh,<00:16:29.779><c> I</c><00:16:29.820><c> don't</c><00:16:30.059><c> know</c><00:16:30.240><c> that</c><00:16:30.419><c> you're</c><00:16:30.539><c> aware.</c>

00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:34.460
From<00:16:31.320><c> the</c><00:16:31.519><c> depths</c><00:16:31.779><c> of</c><00:16:32.080><c> degradation</c><00:16:32.639><c> to</c><00:16:32.860><c> get</c><00:16:33.059><c> you</c><00:16:33.220><c> into</c><00:16:33.399><c> the</c><00:16:33.639><c> kingdom.</c>

00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:39.980
Every<00:16:35.179><c> one</c><00:16:35.360><c> of</c><00:16:35.519><c> us</c><00:16:35.700><c> was</c><00:16:36.019><c> particularly</c><00:16:36.799><c> specially</c><00:16:38.340><c> itemized,</c>

00:16:40.059 --> 00:16:45.220
so<00:16:40.179><c> to</c><00:16:40.399><c> speak,</c><00:16:40.679><c> in</c><00:16:40.759><c> God's</c><00:16:41.220><c> plan</c><00:16:41.559><c> and</c><00:16:42.059><c> brought</c><00:16:42.399><c> into</c><00:16:43.120><c> his</c><00:16:44.139><c> awareness</c><00:16:44.659><c> so</c><00:16:44.980><c> that</c><00:16:45.100><c> we</c>

could<00:16:45.419><c> join</c><00:16:45.759><c> his</c><00:16:46.100><c> body.</c>

00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:51.940
Each<00:16:47.220><c> one</c><00:16:47.440><c> of</c><00:16:47.639><c> us</c><00:16:48.600><c> is</c><00:16:49.580><c> a</c><00:16:49.740><c> peculiar</c><00:16:50.259><c> treasure</c><00:16:50.720><c> to</c><00:16:50.980><c> him.</c>

00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:55.179
Sometimes<00:16:53.120><c> we</c><00:16:53.299><c> can't</c><00:16:53.620><c> see</c><00:16:53.899><c> it.</c>

00:16:55.340 --> 00:16:57.179
Sometimes<00:16:55.940><c> you</c><00:16:56.200><c> can't.</c>

00:16:57.340 --> 00:16:59.779
I<00:16:57.940><c> suppose</c><00:16:58.259><c> all</c><00:16:58.559><c> of</c><00:16:58.659><c> you</c><00:16:58.799><c> have</c><00:16:59.000><c> done</c><00:16:59.179><c> what</c><00:16:59.360><c> I've</c><00:16:59.659><c> done.</c>

00:17:00.259 --> 00:17:04.759
You<00:17:00.259><c> look</c><00:17:00.600><c> at</c><00:17:00.779><c> yourself</c><00:17:01.279><c> over</c><00:17:01.620><c> the</c><00:17:01.799><c> last</c><00:17:02.220><c> year</c><00:17:02.600><c> or</c><00:17:02.919><c> so,</c><00:17:03.419><c> a</c><00:17:03.600><c> few</c><00:17:03.700><c> weeks.</c>

00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:07.799
You<00:17:06.200><c> say,</c><00:17:06.500><c> why</c><00:17:06.599><c> me?</c>

00:17:08.940 --> 00:17:10.660
Because<00:17:09.380><c> we</c><00:17:09.539><c> don't</c><00:17:09.779><c> measure</c><00:17:10.099><c> up.</c>

00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:13.000
God<00:17:11.579><c> knew</c><00:17:11.900><c> that.</c>

00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:17.960
But<00:17:13.880><c> what</c><00:17:13.980><c> he</c><00:17:14.180><c> also</c><00:17:14.500><c> knew</c><00:17:14.720><c> was</c><00:17:14.980><c> that</c><00:17:15.240><c> you</c><00:17:15.539><c> can</c><00:17:16.140><c> give</c><00:17:17.240><c> glory</c><00:17:17.759><c> and</c>

00:17:18.779 --> 00:17:21.460
You<00:17:19.079><c> can</c><00:17:19.619><c> make</c><00:17:20.079><c> his</c><00:17:20.420><c> ecclesia</c><00:17:20.960><c> function.</c>

00:17:21.460 --> 00:17:25.380
You<00:17:21.700><c> can</c><00:17:22.160><c> be</c><00:17:22.640><c> a</c><00:17:22.859><c> part</c><00:17:23.000><c> of</c><00:17:23.140><c> that</c><00:17:23.380><c> body</c><00:17:23.700><c> that</c><00:17:24.079><c> will</c><00:17:24.359><c> make</c><00:17:24.559><c> his</c><00:17:24.880><c> name</c><00:17:25.099><c> be</c>

00:17:25.380 --> 00:17:27.019
glorified<00:17:25.900><c> in</c><00:17:26.099><c> the</c><00:17:26.259><c> earth.</c>

00:17:27.140 --> 00:17:30.500
You<00:17:27.220><c> have</c><00:17:27.559><c> the</c><00:17:27.779><c> ability</c><00:17:28.140><c> or</c><00:17:28.339><c> you</c><00:17:28.400><c> would</c><00:17:28.720><c> never</c><00:17:29.000><c> have</c><00:17:29.200><c> been</c><00:17:29.480><c> called.</c>

00:17:31.980 --> 00:17:35.200
It<00:17:32.160><c> means</c><00:17:32.460><c> replacing</c><00:17:33.259><c> the</c><00:17:33.740><c> mind</c><00:17:34.119><c> with</c><00:17:34.339><c> the</c><00:17:34.619><c> mind</c><00:17:34.859><c> of</c><00:17:35.059><c> God.</c>

00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:37.119
That's<00:17:35.519><c> as</c><00:17:35.779><c> simple</c><00:17:36.000><c> as</c><00:17:36.279><c> that.</c>

00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:41.519
We<00:17:37.519><c> have</c><00:17:37.799><c> to</c><00:17:37.920><c> have</c><00:17:38.039><c> the</c><00:17:38.400><c> right</c><00:17:38.700><c> mind,</c><00:17:39.160><c> the</c><00:17:39.400><c> right</c><00:17:39.779><c> attitude</c><00:17:40.440><c> if</c>

00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:46.799
The<00:17:45.180><c> world</c><00:17:45.400><c> is</c><00:17:45.640><c> getting</c><00:17:45.839><c> smaller,</c><00:17:46.319><c> isn't</c><00:17:46.500><c> it?</c>

00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:53.180
I<00:17:46.920><c> mean,</c><00:17:47.440><c> wherever</c><00:17:47.720><c> you</c><00:17:48.059><c> go,</c><00:17:49.299><c> it</c><00:17:49.400><c> seems</c><00:17:49.720><c> like</c><00:17:50.759><c> somebody's</c><00:17:51.279><c> been</c><00:17:51.440><c> there</c><00:17:51.640><c> ahead</c><00:17:51.859><c> of</c><00:17:51.980><c> you.</c>

00:17:55.019 --> 00:17:58.900

a<00:18:05.619><c> location.</c>

00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:11.200
And<00:18:07.640><c> it</c><00:18:07.779><c> is</c><00:18:08.180><c> that</c><00:18:08.660><c> ecclesia</c><00:18:09.299><c> that</c><00:18:09.539><c> we</c><00:18:09.799><c> should</c><00:18:09.900><c> be</c><00:18:10.279><c> concentrating</c><00:18:10.759><c> on.</c>

00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:14.400
Now,<00:18:11.599><c> it</c><00:18:11.680><c> doesn't</c><00:18:11.980><c> mean</c><00:18:12.319><c> that</c><00:18:12.599><c> we</c><00:18:13.079><c> ignore</c><00:18:13.660><c> all</c><00:18:13.900><c> other</c><00:18:14.119><c> people,</c>

00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:25.539
Isn't<00:18:20.519><c> that</c><00:18:20.779><c> why</c><00:18:21.039><c> today</c><00:18:21.440><c> we</c><00:18:21.660><c> have</c><00:18:22.180><c> this</c><00:18:22.559><c> spirit</c><00:18:22.980><c> of</c><00:18:24.099><c> specialization?</c>

00:18:27.339 --> 00:18:29.619

00:18:32.059 --> 00:18:33.960
No,<00:18:32.359><c> he</c><00:18:32.440><c> says,</c><00:18:32.640><c> you've</c><00:18:32.839><c> got</c><00:18:32.859><c> to</c><00:18:32.920><c> go</c><00:18:33.140><c> and</c><00:18:33.220><c> see</c><00:18:33.400><c> this</c><00:18:33.799><c> fellow.</c>

00:22:46.180 --> 00:22:47.579

We're<00:23:31.000><c> afraid</c><00:23:31.240><c> somebody's</c><00:23:31.599><c> going</c><00:23:31.740><c> to</c><00:23:31.880><c> twist</c><00:23:32.160><c> our</c><00:23:32.539><c> arm</c><00:23:32.700><c> or</c><00:23:32.900><c> hurt</c><00:23:33.079><c> us</c>

00:24:35.099 --> 00:24:36.740
Peter<00:24:35.720><c> had</c><00:24:36.140><c> a</c><00:24:36.200><c> hard</c><00:24:36.440><c> time.</c>

00:24:36.740 --> 00:24:40.160

00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:41.799

You<00:24:47.160><c> die.</c>

00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:52.660
You'll<00:24:49.200><c> be</c><00:24:49.319><c> punished</c><00:24:49.680><c> by</c><00:24:49.980><c> these</c><00:24:50.220><c> people</c><00:24:50.539><c> for</c><00:24:50.819><c> doing</c><00:24:51.140><c> nothing</c><00:24:51.480><c> wrong.</c>

00:24:53.859 --> 00:24:57.019
But<00:24:54.220><c> he</c><00:24:54.480><c> turned</c><00:24:54.940><c> and</c><00:24:55.160><c> he</c><00:24:55.400><c> said</c><00:24:55.500><c> unto</c><00:24:55.759><c> Peter,</c>

And<00:25:12.000><c> he</c><00:25:12.140><c> said</c><00:25:12.299><c> unto</c><00:25:12.559><c> Peter,</c><00:25:14.180><c> Get</c><00:25:14.359><c> thee</c><00:25:14.660><c> behind</c><00:25:15.240><c> me,</c><00:25:15.579><c> Satan,</c><00:25:17.319><c> for</c><00:25:17.519><c> thou</c><00:25:17.759><c> art</c><00:25:18.140><c> an</c>

00:25:21.420 --> 00:25:27.380
For<00:25:21.900><c> thou</c><00:25:22.259><c> savors</c><00:25:22.720><c> not</c><00:25:23.240><c> the</c><00:25:23.519><c> things</c><00:25:23.859><c> that</c><00:25:24.160><c> be</c><00:25:24.279><c> of</c><00:25:24.519><c> God,</c><00:25:26.079><c> but</c><00:25:26.279><c> those</c><00:25:26.839><c> that</c><00:25:27.200><c> be</c>

Wouldn't<00:25:30.839><c> that</c><00:25:31.039><c> have</c><00:25:31.259><c> wrenched</c><00:25:31.660><c> his</c><00:25:31.859><c> heart?</c>

00:25:35.539 --> 00:25:40.319

00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:43.299
Has<00:25:41.619><c> that</c><00:25:41.819><c> ever</c><00:25:42.019><c> happened</c><00:25:42.339><c> to</c><00:25:42.500><c> you?</c>

00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:48.079
There's<00:25:44.299><c> one</c><00:25:44.559><c> verse</c><00:25:44.819><c> I</c><00:25:45.119><c> have</c><00:25:45.299><c> a</c><00:25:45.460><c> hard</c><00:25:45.640><c> time</c><00:25:45.940><c> reading</c><00:25:46.519><c> because</c>

00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:08.180
That<00:26:04.019><c> is</c><00:26:04.380><c> the</c><00:26:04.579><c> love</c><00:26:04.759><c> of</c><00:26:05.059><c> God,</c><00:26:05.960><c> the</c><00:26:06.079><c> love</c><00:26:06.240><c> of</c><00:26:06.480><c> doing</c><00:26:06.799><c> His</c><00:26:07.279><c> will.</c>

00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:12.759
We<00:26:11.079><c> don't</c><00:26:11.460><c> want</c><00:26:11.880><c> to</c><00:26:12.079><c> be</c><00:26:12.240><c> a</c><00:26:12.480><c> Satan.</c>

No,<00:26:18.740><c> we</c><00:26:18.940><c> don't.</c>

00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:24.359
We<00:26:21.160><c> want</c><00:26:21.359><c> to</c><00:26:21.519><c> do</c><00:26:21.759><c> all</c><00:26:22.140><c> things</c><00:26:22.440><c> according</c><00:26:22.839><c> to</c><00:26:23.059><c> His</c><00:26:23.319><c> will.</c>

00:26:25.019 --> 00:26:36.119
And<00:26:26.039><c> then</c><00:26:26.359><c> said</c><00:26:26.680><c> Jesus</c><00:26:27.319><c> unto</c><00:26:27.799><c> His</c><00:26:28.119><c> disciples,</c><00:26:30.200><c> If</c><00:26:30.279><c> any</c><00:26:30.819><c> man</c><00:26:31.440><c> will</c><00:26:31.759><c> come</c><00:26:32.019><c> after</c><00:26:32.359><c> Me,</c><00:26:33.700><c> any</c><00:26:34.059><c> man</c><00:26:34.599><c> or</c><00:26:34.839><c> woman,</c>

00:26:55.119 --> 00:26:56.480
That's<00:26:55.559><c> us.</c>

00:26:57.299 --> 00:26:59.259
That's<00:26:57.920><c> a</c><00:26:58.039><c> very</c><00:26:58.299><c> peculiar</c><00:26:58.859><c> saying.</c>

00:26:59.500 --> 00:27:00.420
Think<00:26:59.720><c> about</c><00:26:59.980><c> it.</c>

00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:07.559

00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:13.579
It<00:27:09.440><c> doesn't</c><00:27:09.700><c> say</c><00:27:09.960><c> you're</c><00:27:10.180><c> going</c><00:27:10.380><c> to</c><00:27:10.500><c> deny</c><00:27:10.759><c> yourself</c><00:27:11.799><c> a</c><00:27:13.140><c> new</c><00:27:13.359><c> car.</c>

00:27:13.579 --> 00:27:16.259
You'll<00:27:13.819><c> just</c><00:27:14.059><c> get</c><00:27:14.319><c> yourself</c><00:27:14.880><c> a</c><00:27:15.680><c> used</c><00:27:16.019><c> car.</c>

00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:22.259
This<00:27:18.380><c> says,</c><00:27:19.380><c> let</c><00:27:19.480><c> him</c><00:27:19.740><c> deny</c><00:27:20.640><c> himself.</c>

00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:24.740
Isn't<00:27:23.619><c> that</c><00:27:23.859><c> something?</c>

00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:28.319
That's<00:27:25.460><c> like</c><00:27:25.680><c> saying,</c><00:27:26.539><c> I</c><00:27:26.759><c> deny</c><00:27:27.099><c> I</c><00:27:27.460><c> exist.</c>

00:27:28.380 --> 00:27:30.420
It's<00:27:28.900><c> hard</c><00:27:29.119><c> not</c><00:27:29.380><c> being</c><00:27:29.599><c> able</c><00:27:29.839><c> to</c><00:27:30.099><c> see</c><00:27:30.279><c> you.</c>

00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:34.099
I<00:27:30.700><c> like</c><00:27:30.940><c> to</c><00:27:31.099><c> look</c><00:27:31.220><c> in</c><00:27:31.339><c> people's</c><00:27:31.839><c> eyes</c><00:27:32.039><c> to</c><00:27:32.180><c> see</c><00:27:32.779><c> how</c><00:27:33.099><c> they're...</c>

00:27:34.099 --> 00:27:37.359
Well,<00:27:34.440><c> I'll</c><00:27:34.660><c> just</c><00:27:34.779><c> have</c><00:27:34.920><c> to</c><00:27:35.119><c> pretend</c><00:27:35.440><c> you're</c><00:27:35.740><c> really,</c><00:27:36.140><c> really</c><00:27:36.420><c> interested.</c>

00:27:38.740 --> 00:27:42.039
Well,<00:27:40.200><c> in</c><00:27:40.200><c> fact,</c><00:27:40.599><c> every</c><00:27:40.720><c> now</c><00:27:40.920><c> and</c><00:27:41.039><c> then</c><00:27:41.140><c> if</c><00:27:41.319><c> one</c><00:27:41.420><c> of</c><00:27:41.519><c> you</c><00:27:41.640><c> will</c>

00:27:45.059 --> 00:27:47.000
Because<00:27:45.220><c> I</c><00:27:45.380><c> can</c><00:27:45.559><c> just</c><00:27:45.759><c> see</c><00:27:45.960><c> movement.</c>

Deny<00:27:48.539><c> yourself</c><00:27:49.059><c> means</c><00:27:49.700><c> that</c><00:27:50.400><c> you</c><00:27:50.920><c> as</c><00:27:51.299><c> a</c><00:27:51.500><c> person</c><00:27:51.900><c> no</c><00:27:52.279><c> longer</c><00:27:52.720><c> want</c><00:27:53.059><c> to</c><00:27:53.440><c> exist.</c>

00:27:54.140 --> 00:27:57.160
You're<00:27:54.400><c> going</c><00:27:54.500><c> to</c><00:27:54.779><c> deny</c><00:27:55.099><c> your</c><00:27:55.539><c> existence</c><00:27:55.980><c> because</c><00:27:56.519><c> it</c><00:27:56.700><c> is</c><00:27:56.940><c> no</c>

00:27:57.160 --> 00:27:59.940

00:28:00.140 --> 00:28:04.299
So<00:28:00.359><c> that</c><00:28:00.480><c> when</c><00:28:00.720><c> people</c><00:28:01.119><c> see</c><00:28:01.500><c> you,</c><00:28:02.140><c> they're</c><00:28:02.500><c> seeing</c><00:28:02.960><c> an</c><00:28:03.420><c> extension</c><00:28:04.039><c> of</c>

00:28:04.299 --> 00:28:05.160
Jesus<00:28:04.700><c> Christ.</c>

00:28:05.160 --> 00:28:08.960
They're<00:28:05.640><c> seeing</c><00:28:05.799><c> a</c><00:28:06.180><c> manifestation</c><00:28:06.859><c> of</c><00:28:07.119><c> God</c><00:28:07.500><c> in</c><00:28:07.980><c> your</c><00:28:08.299><c> life</c><00:28:08.660><c> so</c>

00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:11.579
that<00:28:09.119><c> whatever</c><00:28:09.480><c> you're</c><00:28:09.799><c> doing,</c><00:28:10.279><c> whatever</c><00:28:10.440><c> you're</c><00:28:10.799><c> saying</c><00:28:11.119><c> is</c>

00:28:11.579 --> 00:28:14.319
that<00:28:11.799><c> which</c><00:28:12.019><c> is</c><00:28:12.599><c> reflecting</c><00:28:13.200><c> the</c><00:28:13.539><c> words</c><00:28:13.759><c> of</c><00:28:14.039><c> God.</c>

00:28:14.500 --> 00:28:16.359
That's<00:28:14.940><c> denying</c><00:28:15.240><c> yourself.</c>

00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:18.099
Now,<00:28:16.759><c> who</c><00:28:16.980><c> does</c><00:28:17.319><c> that?</c>

00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:19.579
We<00:28:18.579><c> are</c><00:28:18.920><c> so</c><00:28:19.319><c> weak.</c>

00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:22.420
God<00:28:20.140><c> said,</c><00:28:20.720><c> I'll</c><00:28:20.880><c> have</c><00:28:21.079><c> to</c><00:28:21.380><c> provide</c><00:28:21.740><c> a</c><00:28:22.140><c> savior.</c>

00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:24.519
I'll<00:28:23.119><c> have</c><00:28:23.279><c> to</c><00:28:23.559><c> provide</c><00:28:23.779><c> a</c><00:28:24.119><c> mediator.</c>

00:28:24.759 --> 00:28:28.079
I'll<00:28:25.119><c> have</c><00:28:25.259><c> to</c><00:28:25.480><c> make</c><00:28:25.579><c> it</c><00:28:25.880><c> right</c><00:28:26.220><c> so</c><00:28:26.559><c> that</c><00:28:26.759><c> you</c><00:28:26.980><c> can</c><00:28:27.240><c> get</c><00:28:27.460><c> salvation.</c>

00:28:28.359 --> 00:28:29.500
I<00:28:28.579><c> put</c><00:28:28.779><c> out</c><00:28:29.019><c> my</c><00:28:29.279><c> law.</c>

00:28:29.500 --> 00:28:31.119
It<00:28:29.599><c> was</c><00:28:29.819><c> holy,</c><00:28:30.319><c> just</c><00:28:30.700><c> and</c><00:28:30.960><c> good.</c>

00:28:31.299 --> 00:28:32.480
You<00:28:31.519><c> couldn't</c><00:28:31.779><c> live</c><00:28:32.019><c> up</c><00:28:32.259><c> to</c><00:28:32.380><c> it.</c>

00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:34.859
All<00:28:32.839><c> it</c><00:28:33.019><c> did</c><00:28:33.200><c> was</c><00:28:33.420><c> label</c><00:28:33.819><c> sin</c><00:28:34.099><c> for</c><00:28:34.319><c> what</c><00:28:34.440><c> it</c><00:28:34.640><c> was.</c>

00:28:35.099 --> 00:28:37.519
But<00:28:35.160><c> now</c><00:28:35.599><c> I'm</c><00:28:36.119><c> going</c><00:28:36.220><c> to</c><00:28:36.319><c> do</c><00:28:36.440><c> more</c><00:28:36.720><c> than</c><00:28:36.980><c> that.</c>

00:28:37.859 --> 00:28:41.940
Through<00:28:38.180><c> grace,</c><00:28:39.779><c> I'm</c><00:28:40.339><c> going</c><00:28:40.480><c> to</c><00:28:40.599><c> give</c><00:28:40.720><c> you</c><00:28:40.980><c> the</c><00:28:41.180><c> opportunity</c>

00:28:41.940 --> 00:28:47.500
to<00:28:42.700><c> have</c><00:28:43.039><c> your</c><00:28:43.400><c> sins</c><00:28:43.720><c> forgiven</c><00:28:44.279><c> by</c><00:28:45.460><c> my</c><00:28:45.740><c> mercy</c><00:28:46.019><c> and</c><00:28:46.200><c> my</c><00:28:46.380><c> compassion.</c>

00:28:47.900 --> 00:28:53.759
But<00:28:48.299><c> nonetheless,</c><00:28:50.099><c> we</c><00:28:50.319><c> still</c><00:28:50.859><c> must</c><00:28:51.279><c> strive</c><00:28:51.900><c> to</c><00:28:52.259><c> deny</c><00:28:52.900><c> himself</c>

00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:58.000
and<00:28:54.460><c> take</c><00:28:54.799><c> up</c><00:28:54.980><c> his</c><00:28:55.299><c> cross</c><00:28:55.740><c> and</c><00:28:56.480><c> follow</c><00:28:56.819><c> me.</c>

00:28:58.700 --> 00:29:02.579
Look,<00:28:59.519><c> I</c><00:28:59.720><c> don't</c><00:28:59.900><c> know</c><00:29:00.000><c> how</c><00:29:00.220><c> much</c><00:29:00.700><c> plainer</c><00:29:01.099><c> that</c><00:29:01.259><c> could</c><00:29:01.539><c> be.</c>

00:29:03.539 --> 00:29:06.380
If<00:29:03.660><c> we</c><00:29:03.839><c> were</c><00:29:03.960><c> to</c><00:29:04.220><c> change</c><00:29:04.539><c> those</c><00:29:04.900><c> words,</c><00:29:05.180><c> we</c><00:29:05.359><c> would</c><00:29:05.640><c> be</c><00:29:05.900><c> remiss</c>

00:29:06.380 --> 00:29:08.859
because<00:29:06.700><c> we</c><00:29:06.880><c> don't</c><00:29:07.440><c> change</c><00:29:08.099><c> the</c><00:29:08.319><c> word</c><00:29:08.440><c> of</c><00:29:08.680><c> God.</c>

00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:12.200
We<00:29:09.059><c> have</c><00:29:09.299><c> to</c><00:29:09.859><c> watch</c><00:29:10.299><c> what</c><00:29:10.500><c> it</c><00:29:10.759><c> says</c><00:29:10.940><c> and</c><00:29:11.200><c> allow</c><00:29:11.519><c> it</c><00:29:11.759><c> to</c><00:29:12.039><c> speak</c>

00:29:13.680 --> 00:29:15.539
This<00:29:13.900><c> is</c><00:29:14.039><c> what</c><00:29:14.160><c> we</c><00:29:14.500><c> preach</c><00:29:14.680><c> in</c><00:29:14.859><c> our</c><00:29:15.140><c> seminars.</c>

00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:17.059

00:29:17.119 --> 00:29:20.819

And<00:29:21.000><c> he</c><00:29:21.160><c> says</c><00:29:21.859><c> that</c><00:29:22.480><c> whosoever</c><00:29:23.039><c> will</c><00:29:23.400><c> save</c><00:29:23.660><c> his</c><00:29:24.019><c> life</c><00:29:24.220><c> is</c><00:29:24.380><c> going</c><00:29:24.519><c> to</c>
