00:44:32.519 --> 00:44:37.079
You<00:44:33.199><c> knew</c><00:44:33.699><c> this</c><00:44:34.139><c> commitment</c><00:44:34.780><c> when</c><00:44:35.400><c> your</c><00:44:35.900><c> spiritual</c><00:44:36.320><c> life</c><00:44:36.659><c> began.</c>

00:44:37.460 --> 00:44:38.820

00:44:40.940 --> 00:44:43.420
You<00:44:41.260><c> knew</c><00:44:41.539><c> what</c><00:44:41.760><c> the</c><00:44:42.000><c> truth</c><00:44:42.179><c> would</c><00:44:42.380><c> involve.</c>

00:44:56.300 --> 00:44:58.599
It's<00:44:56.619><c> true</c><00:44:56.780><c> for</c><00:44:57.000><c> all</c><00:44:57.219><c> of</c><00:44:57.300><c> us</c><00:44:57.500><c> brothers</c><00:44:57.679><c> and</c><00:44:57.900><c> sisters,</c><00:44:58.219><c> is</c><00:44:58.320><c> it</c><00:44:58.460><c> not?</c>

00:44:58.639 --> 00:45:01.719
We<00:44:58.860><c> knew</c><00:44:59.079><c> what</c><00:44:59.280><c> the</c><00:44:59.519><c> truth</c><00:44:59.719><c> entailed</c><00:45:00.659><c> when</c><00:45:01.019><c> we</c><00:45:01.300><c> entered</c><00:45:01.420><c> into</c>

covenant<00:45:02.119><c> commitment.</c>

00:45:02.940 --> 00:45:07.440
We<00:45:03.099><c> were</c><00:45:03.340><c> all</c><00:45:03.659><c> baptized</c><00:45:04.380><c> into</c><00:45:04.820><c> the</c><00:45:05.199><c> death</c><00:45:05.579><c> and</c><00:45:05.940><c> the</c><00:45:06.179><c> resurrection</c><00:45:06.659><c> of</c><00:45:07.000><c> Christ.</c>

00:45:07.739 --> 00:45:10.039
Why<00:45:08.099><c> would</c><00:45:08.300><c> we</c><00:45:08.559><c> expect</c><00:45:08.980><c> that</c><00:45:09.119><c> it</c><00:45:09.239><c> would</c><00:45:09.340><c> be</c><00:45:09.519><c> anything</c><00:45:09.719><c> other</c>

00:45:10.039 --> 00:45:11.960
than<00:45:10.199><c> that</c><00:45:10.340><c> we</c><00:45:10.480><c> would</c>

00:45:11.960 --> 00:45:16.619

00:45:17.679 --> 00:45:23.440
We<00:45:18.280><c> cannot</c><00:45:18.639><c> hope</c><00:45:18.960><c> to</c><00:45:19.280><c> taste</c><00:45:19.900><c> the</c><00:45:21.079><c> joy</c><00:45:21.340><c> of</c><00:45:21.599><c> resurrection's</c><00:45:22.400><c> glory</c>

00:45:24.480 --> 00:45:29.719
if<00:45:25.079><c> we</c><00:45:25.300><c> do</c><00:45:25.500><c> not</c><00:45:25.800><c> taste</c><00:45:26.760><c> the</c><00:45:27.639><c> tribulation</c><00:45:28.159><c> of</c><00:45:28.400><c> death's</c><00:45:28.980><c> suffering.</c>

00:45:31.639 --> 00:45:34.480
But<00:45:31.739><c> you</c><00:45:31.880><c> see</c><00:45:32.039><c> tribulation</c><00:45:32.639><c> brings</c><00:45:32.940><c> a</c><00:45:33.139><c> benefit</c><00:45:33.380><c> in</c><00:45:33.559><c> our</c><00:45:33.699><c> lives,</c><00:45:34.239><c> brothers</c><00:45:34.239><c> and</c>

00:45:35.420 --> 00:45:37.239
It's<00:45:35.699><c> not</c><00:45:35.880><c> something</c><00:45:36.099><c> we</c><00:45:36.400><c> seek.</c>

00:45:37.340 --> 00:45:40.579
It's<00:45:37.940><c> certainly</c><00:45:38.320><c> not</c><00:45:38.679><c> something</c><00:45:39.039><c> we</c><00:45:39.539><c> seek.</c>

00:45:41.000 --> 00:45:46.239
And<00:45:41.639><c> yet</c><00:45:41.800><c> it</c><00:45:41.980><c> builds</c><00:45:42.239><c> our</c><00:45:42.559><c> spiritual</c><00:45:43.119><c> character</c><00:45:43.579><c> like</c><00:45:44.179><c> nothing</c><00:45:44.519><c> else</c><00:45:44.980><c> can.</c>

00:45:48.980 --> 00:45:52.159
It's<00:45:49.440><c> a</c><00:45:49.619><c> paradox</c><00:45:49.980><c> really,</c><00:45:50.260><c> isn't</c><00:45:50.480><c> it?</c>

00:45:54.079 --> 00:45:59.260
You<00:45:54.179><c> see</c><00:45:54.440><c> tribulation</c><00:45:55.659><c> brings</c><00:45:57.480><c> a</c><00:45:57.719><c> future</c><00:45:58.239><c> benefit.</c>

00:46:00.699 --> 00:46:03.199
We<00:46:00.960><c> don't</c><00:46:01.139><c> always</c><00:46:01.380><c> see</c><00:46:01.559><c> it</c><00:46:01.699><c> at</c><00:46:01.800><c> the</c><00:46:01.980><c> time.</c>

00:46:04.360 --> 00:46:07.159

00:46:08.820 --> 00:46:13.239
But<00:46:09.420><c> further</c><00:46:09.760><c> ahead,</c><00:46:12.159><c> there's</c><00:46:12.340><c> benefit.</c>

00:46:14.420 --> 00:46:18.539

And<00:51:22.800><c> precisely</c><00:51:23.059><c> because</c><00:51:23.340><c> it's</c><00:51:23.619><c> in</c><00:51:23.880><c> holy</c><00:51:24.119><c> writ,</c><00:51:24.500><c> we</c><00:51:24.559><c> know</c><00:51:24.739><c> that</c>

00:51:49.079 --> 00:51:56.739
Oh,<00:51:49.320><c> Timothy,</c><00:51:51.400><c> continue</c><00:51:52.159><c> in</c><00:51:53.219><c> the</c><00:51:53.420><c> things</c><00:51:54.099><c> which</c><00:51:55.139><c> thou</c><00:51:55.400><c> hast</c><00:51:55.719><c> learned.</c>

00:51:58.739 --> 00:52:01.539
So<00:51:58.960><c> may</c><00:51:59.119><c> we</c><00:51:59.280><c> do</c><00:51:59.480><c> likewise,</c><00:52:00.079><c> brothers</c><00:52:00.179><c> and</c><00:52:00.440><c> sisters.</c>

Why<00:52:08.699><c> should</c><00:52:09.179><c> we</c><00:52:09.519><c> complain</c><00:52:10.199><c> of</c><00:52:11.119><c> want</c><00:52:11.559><c> or</c><00:52:12.099><c> distress,</c><00:52:13.519><c> temptation</c><00:52:14.099><c> or</c><00:52:14.480><c> pain?</c>
