00:02:23.659 --> 00:02:25.419
Why<00:02:23.939><c> would</c><00:02:24.099><c> he</c><00:02:24.240><c> go</c><00:02:24.460><c> there?</c>

00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:28.639
Well,<00:02:27.060><c> there</c><00:02:27.180><c> are</c><00:02:27.300><c> several</c><00:02:27.580><c> reasons,</c><00:02:28.099><c> I</c><00:02:28.099><c> think,</c><00:02:28.340><c> for</c><00:02:28.460><c> that,</c>

00:02:29.620 --> 00:02:32.560
Firstly,<00:02:30.639><c> he</c><00:02:30.759><c> wanted</c><00:02:30.979><c> to</c><00:02:31.159><c> get</c><00:02:31.280><c> right</c><00:02:31.580><c> away</c><00:02:31.900><c> from</c><00:02:32.099><c> the</c><00:02:32.319><c> crowds</c>

00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:41.900
We're<00:02:38.000><c> going</c><00:02:38.080><c> to</c><00:02:38.319><c> see,</c><00:02:38.819><c> as</c><00:02:39.139><c> we</c><00:02:39.360><c> proceed,</c><00:02:40.240><c> that</c><00:02:40.360><c> he</c><00:02:40.500><c> didn't</c><00:02:40.719><c> entirely</c><00:02:41.340><c> leave</c><00:02:41.680><c> all</c>

00:02:41.900 --> 00:02:42.960
the<00:02:42.080><c> multitude</c><00:02:42.439><c> behind.</c>

00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:46.580
Some<00:02:43.639><c> of</c><00:02:43.759><c> them</c><00:02:43.939><c> stuck</c><00:02:44.280><c> with</c><00:02:44.479><c> him</c><00:02:44.919><c> even</c><00:02:45.259><c> to</c><00:02:45.460><c> that</c><00:02:45.740><c> point.</c>

00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:50.099
But<00:02:47.479><c> it's</c><00:02:47.719><c> quite</c><00:02:47.919><c> incredible</c><00:02:48.439><c> that</c><00:02:48.680><c> our</c><00:02:48.840><c> Lord</c><00:02:49.000><c> should</c><00:02:49.199><c> go</c><00:02:49.419><c> that</c><00:02:49.740><c> far</c>

00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.219
wall<00:02:52.000><c> and</c><00:02:52.139><c> could</c><00:02:52.280><c> go</c><00:02:52.500><c> no</c><00:02:52.800><c> further,</c><00:02:53.419><c> that</c><00:02:53.479><c> he</c><00:02:53.580><c> should</c><00:02:53.740><c> go</c><00:02:54.000><c> there</c>

00:02:54.219 --> 00:02:55.780

00:02:56.419 --> 00:02:59.280
Now,<00:02:56.599><c> look</c><00:02:56.699><c> at</c><00:02:56.879><c> the</c><00:02:56.939><c> situation</c><00:02:57.500><c> of</c><00:02:57.740><c> Caesarea</c><00:02:58.139><c> Philippi.</c>

00:03:33.340 --> 00:03:36.099
And<00:03:33.479><c> the</c><00:03:33.560><c> Lord</c><00:03:33.840><c> was</c><00:03:34.039><c> from</c><00:03:34.219><c> this</c><00:03:34.520><c> point</c><00:03:34.740><c> on</c><00:03:34.900><c> a</c><00:03:35.060><c> turnaround</c><00:03:35.539><c> and</c>

something<00:13:39.679><c> else</c>

00:13:40.019 --> 00:13:42.340
before<00:13:40.399><c> he</c><00:13:40.620><c> asked</c><00:13:40.860><c> that</c><00:13:41.080><c> question.</c>

00:13:46.620 --> 00:13:50.100
And<00:13:46.720><c> so</c><00:13:46.899><c> before</c><00:13:47.279><c> he</c><00:13:47.460><c> asked</c><00:13:47.720><c> his</c><00:13:47.879><c> disciples</c><00:13:48.179><c> that</c><00:13:48.460><c> question,</c>

00:13:51.299 --> 00:13:56.019
Luke<00:13:51.500><c> says</c><00:13:51.899><c> in</c><00:13:52.399><c> the</c><00:13:52.679><c> comparable</c><00:13:52.960><c> record</c><00:13:53.360><c> in</c><00:13:53.500><c> Luke</c><00:13:53.720><c> 9,</c><00:13:54.539><c> verse</c><00:13:54.740><c> 18,</c>

00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:59.220
and<00:13:56.259><c> it</c><00:13:56.399><c> came</c><00:13:56.580><c> to</c><00:13:56.759><c> pass</c><00:13:57.000><c> as</c><00:13:57.220><c> he</c><00:13:57.340><c> was</c><00:13:57.600><c> alone</c><00:13:58.080><c> praying,</c>

00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:02.179
his<00:14:00.200><c> disciples</c><00:14:00.899><c> were</c><00:14:01.299><c> with</c><00:14:01.480><c> him,</c>

00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:05.200
and<00:14:02.600><c> he</c><00:14:02.720><c> asked</c><00:14:02.940><c> them</c><00:14:03.120><c> saying,</c><00:14:03.440><c> whom</c><00:14:03.659><c> say</c><00:14:03.899><c> the</c><00:14:04.120><c> people</c><00:14:04.539><c> that</c><00:14:04.779><c> I</c><00:14:05.000><c> am?</c>

00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:07.399
So<00:14:05.480><c> you</c><00:14:05.559><c> see</c><00:14:05.700><c> that's</c><00:14:05.960><c> the</c><00:14:06.179><c> comparable</c><00:14:06.480><c> record.</c>

00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:08.379
But<00:14:07.600><c> isn't</c><00:14:07.779><c> that</c><00:14:07.980><c> wonderful?</c>

00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:12.220
You<00:14:08.720><c> know,</c><00:14:09.639><c> Luke,</c><00:14:09.840><c> it's</c><00:14:10.039><c> Luke</c><00:14:10.279><c> always</c><00:14:10.820><c> that</c><00:14:11.059><c> makes</c><00:14:11.460><c> the</c><00:14:11.720><c> record</c><00:14:12.039><c> of</c>

him<00:14:12.480><c> praying.</c>

00:14:14.379 --> 00:14:17.000
There<00:14:14.539><c> would</c><00:14:14.700><c> be,</c><00:14:14.860><c> I</c><00:14:14.960><c> suppose,</c><00:14:15.519><c> a</c><00:14:15.659><c> half</c><00:14:15.799><c> a</c><00:14:15.899><c> dozen</c><00:14:16.059><c> or</c><00:14:16.220><c> more</c><00:14:16.399><c> times</c><00:14:16.820><c> in</c>

the<00:14:17.179><c> record</c><00:14:17.379><c> in</c><00:14:17.580><c> Luke,</c>

00:14:18.379 --> 00:14:22.019
but<00:14:18.500><c> he</c><00:14:18.620><c> tells</c><00:14:18.860><c> us</c><00:14:19.139><c> in</c><00:14:19.539><c> very</c><00:14:19.960><c> great</c><00:14:20.899><c> detail</c><00:14:21.500><c> sometimes,</c>

00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:26.139
and<00:14:22.240><c> with</c><00:14:22.600><c> great</c><00:14:23.440><c> brevity,</c><00:14:24.159><c> he</c><00:14:24.220><c> tells</c><00:14:24.399><c> us</c><00:14:24.580><c> that</c><00:14:24.720><c> the</c><00:14:24.720><c> Lord</c><00:14:24.879><c> was</c><00:14:25.139><c> praying.</c>

00:14:26.220 --> 00:14:28.860
We<00:14:26.480><c> would</c><00:14:26.700><c> not</c><00:14:26.799><c> have</c><00:14:26.960><c> known</c><00:14:27.220><c> that</c><00:14:27.419><c> had</c><00:14:27.539><c> it</c><00:14:27.700><c> been</c><00:14:27.840><c> for</c><00:14:28.059><c> Luke.</c>

00:14:28.980 --> 00:14:31.100
But<00:14:29.139><c> look</c><00:14:29.259><c> how</c><00:14:29.379><c> he</c><00:14:29.500><c> puts</c><00:14:29.759><c> it.</c>

00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:35.120
It<00:14:32.039><c> came</c><00:14:32.220><c> to</c><00:14:32.399><c> pass</c><00:14:32.639><c> as</c><00:14:32.919><c> he</c><00:14:33.159><c> was</c><00:14:33.500><c> alone</c><00:14:34.039><c> praying,</c>

00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:38.019
his<00:14:35.960><c> disciples</c><00:14:36.460><c> were</c><00:14:36.740><c> with</c><00:14:36.980><c> him.</c>

00:14:38.860 --> 00:14:40.399
That's<00:14:39.379><c> an</c><00:14:39.539><c> anomaly,</c><00:14:39.940><c> isn't</c><00:14:40.100><c> it?</c>

00:14:40.580 --> 00:14:43.960
So<00:14:40.740><c> he's</c><00:14:40.860><c> not</c><00:14:41.120><c> alone,</c><00:14:42.600><c> but</c><00:14:42.679><c> he</c><00:14:42.779><c> is</c><00:14:43.000><c> alone.</c>

00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:48.259
But<00:14:45.379><c> you</c><00:14:45.500><c> see,</c><00:14:45.799><c> brethren</c><00:14:45.940><c> and</c><00:14:46.159><c> sisters,</c><00:14:46.340><c> he</c><00:14:46.840><c> sought</c><00:14:47.120><c> the</c><00:14:47.320><c> moment</c><00:14:47.539><c> of</c><00:14:47.860><c> prayer</c>

00:14:48.259 --> 00:14:51.620
when<00:14:49.019><c> he</c><00:14:49.179><c> could</c><00:14:49.440><c> only</c><00:14:50.039><c> have</c><00:14:50.279><c> his</c><00:14:50.559><c> disciples</c><00:14:50.980><c> around</c><00:14:51.399><c> him,</c>

00:14:51.620 --> 00:14:55.000
and<00:14:51.779><c> even</c><00:14:52.019><c> there</c><00:14:52.259><c> he</c><00:14:52.379><c> was</c><00:14:52.720><c> isolated</c><00:14:53.159><c> from</c><00:14:53.460><c> them</c><00:14:53.759><c> for</c><00:14:54.019><c> a</c><00:14:54.179><c> moment,</c>

00:14:55.220 --> 00:14:57.659

00:14:57.659 --> 00:15:01.379
but<00:14:57.879><c> his</c><00:14:58.120><c> disciples</c><00:14:58.759><c> were</c><00:14:59.480><c> with</c><00:14:59.679><c> him,</c><00:15:00.919><c> says</c><00:15:01.100><c> Luke.</c>

00:15:01.659 --> 00:15:02.759
They<00:15:01.779><c> were</c><00:15:02.039><c> with</c><00:15:02.240><c> him.</c>

00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:05.740
You<00:15:03.279><c> know,</c><00:15:03.519><c> brethren</c><00:15:03.700><c> and</c><00:15:03.960><c> sisters,</c><00:15:04.700><c> it</c><00:15:04.860><c> was</c><00:15:05.100><c> a</c><00:15:05.279><c> miracle</c><00:15:05.620><c> that</c>

00:15:05.740 --> 00:15:07.519

00:15:08.620 --> 00:15:11.720
It<00:15:09.100><c> was</c><00:15:09.200><c> an</c><00:15:09.340><c> absolute</c><00:15:09.720><c> miracle</c><00:15:10.240><c> that</c><00:15:10.379><c> they</c><00:15:10.539><c> were</c><00:15:10.679><c> with</c><00:15:10.860><c> him.</c>

00:15:12.299 --> 00:15:14.480
It's<00:15:12.500><c> an</c><00:15:12.740><c> amazing</c><00:15:13.159><c> thing</c><00:15:13.480><c> that</c><00:15:13.639><c> there</c><00:15:13.639><c> was</c><00:15:13.820><c> even</c><00:15:14.059><c> some</c><00:15:14.240><c> of</c><00:15:14.340><c> the</c>

00:15:15.700 --> 00:15:19.360
It's<00:15:16.139><c> a</c><00:15:16.240><c> wonder</c><00:15:16.419><c> that</c><00:15:16.559><c> he</c><00:15:16.659><c> wasn't</c><00:15:16.919><c> there</c><00:15:17.340><c> alone,</c><00:15:17.980><c> entirely</c><00:15:18.419><c> alone,</c>

00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:52.700

00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:06.240
You<00:18:03.420><c> imagine</c><00:18:03.839><c> a</c><00:18:05.079><c> whole</c><00:18:05.539><c> crowd</c><00:18:05.819><c> of</c><00:18:06.019><c> people,</c>

00:18:20.180 --> 00:18:22.099
And<00:18:20.319><c> you</c><00:18:20.400><c> could</c><00:18:20.599><c> imagine</c><00:18:21.079><c> the</c><00:18:21.500><c> ripple</c><00:18:21.700><c> that</c><00:18:21.859><c> went</c><00:18:21.940><c> through</c>

00:18:29.700 --> 00:18:31.619

00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:56.660
He<00:18:53.319><c> wanted</c><00:18:53.519><c> to</c><00:18:53.740><c> understand</c><00:18:54.339><c> the</c><00:18:54.680><c> disciples</c><00:18:55.059><c> as</c><00:18:55.279><c> to</c><00:18:55.339><c> what</c><00:18:55.539><c> they</c><00:18:55.819><c> thought.</c>

00:19:08.019 --> 00:19:10.119
That's<00:19:08.380><c> the</c><00:19:08.519><c> point,</c><00:19:08.779><c> isn't</c><00:19:08.940><c> it?</c>

00:19:10.500 --> 00:19:12.759

The<00:19:20.400><c> Son</c><00:19:20.660><c> of</c><00:19:20.859><c> Man.</c>

00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:45.160
Philip<00:19:42.859><c> said,</c><00:19:43.200><c> we've</c><00:19:43.539><c> found</c><00:19:43.779><c> the</c><00:19:44.140><c> Messiah.</c>

And<00:20:20.940><c> yet</c><00:20:21.059><c> here's</c><00:20:21.339><c> a</c><00:20:21.519><c> title</c><00:20:21.700><c> that</c><00:20:21.880><c> he's</c><00:20:22.279><c> using</c><00:20:22.299><c> of</c><00:20:22.519><c> himself</c>

00:20:23.019 --> 00:20:26.160
about<00:20:23.579><c> 85</c><00:20:24.019><c> times</c><00:20:24.619><c> in</c><00:20:24.779><c> the</c><00:20:24.920><c> Gospel</c><00:20:25.200><c> record.</c>

00:20:29.220 --> 00:20:32.519
He<00:20:29.619><c> kept</c><00:20:29.859><c> referring</c><00:20:30.440><c> himself</c><00:20:31.039><c> to</c><00:20:31.339><c> himself</c><00:20:31.740><c> as</c><00:20:31.920><c> the</c><00:20:32.059><c> Son</c><00:20:32.200><c> of</c><00:20:32.359><c> Man.</c>

00:20:32.619 --> 00:20:34.799
And<00:20:32.700><c> so</c><00:20:32.799><c> in</c><00:20:32.980><c> John</c><00:20:33.240><c> chapter</c><00:20:33.519><c> 12,</c><00:20:33.839><c> when</c><00:20:33.980><c> he</c><00:20:34.079><c> came</c><00:20:34.240><c> to</c><00:20:34.420><c> the</c><00:20:34.599><c> end</c>

00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:36.519
of<00:20:34.920><c> his</c><00:20:35.099><c> public</c><00:20:35.440><c> ministry,</c>

00:20:36.539 --> 00:20:39.319
they<00:20:36.720><c> didn't</c><00:20:36.900><c> have</c><00:20:37.119><c> a</c><00:20:37.319><c> clue</c><00:20:37.519><c> who</c><00:20:37.660><c> he</c><00:20:37.740><c> was</c><00:20:37.980><c> in</c><00:20:38.119><c> that</c><00:20:38.299><c> respect.</c>

00:20:41.460 --> 00:20:43.759
So<00:20:41.660><c> in</c><00:20:41.839><c> John</c><00:20:42.019><c> chapter</c><00:20:42.319><c> 12</c><00:20:42.720><c> and</c><00:20:42.880><c> verse</c><00:20:43.099><c> 33,</c>

00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:47.259
this<00:20:44.420><c> he</c><00:20:44.660><c> said,</c><00:20:44.980><c> signifying</c><00:20:45.480><c> what</c><00:20:45.740><c> death</c><00:20:45.940><c> he</c><00:20:46.099><c> should</c><00:20:46.259><c> die,</c>

00:20:47.460 --> 00:20:48.440
the<00:20:47.539><c> people</c><00:20:47.799><c> answered</c><00:20:48.099><c> him</c><00:20:48.279><c> and</c><00:20:48.359><c> said,</c>

00:20:48.500 --> 00:20:51.160
we've<00:20:48.759><c> heard</c><00:20:48.940><c> out</c><00:20:49.099><c> of</c><00:20:49.220><c> the</c><00:20:49.400><c> law</c><00:20:49.579><c> that</c><00:20:49.839><c> Christ,</c><00:20:50.740><c> Messiah,</c>

00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:52.660
abided<00:20:51.660><c> forever.</c>

00:20:53.009 --> 00:20:56.660
And<00:20:53.299><c> how</c><00:20:53.619><c> sayest</c><00:20:54.039><c> thou,</c><00:20:54.619><c> the</c><00:20:54.900><c> Son</c><00:20:55.180><c> of</c><00:20:55.400><c> Man</c><00:20:55.700><c> must</c><00:20:55.960><c> be</c><00:20:56.140><c> lifted</c><00:20:56.339><c> up?</c>

00:20:57.019 --> 00:21:00.940
Who<00:20:57.599><c> is</c><00:20:58.400><c> this</c><00:20:59.180><c> Son</c><00:20:59.700><c> of</c><00:20:59.960><c> Man?</c>

00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:04.420
That's<00:21:02.859><c> what</c><00:21:03.019><c> they</c><00:21:03.240><c> did</c><00:21:03.500><c> not</c><00:21:03.759><c> understand,</c>

00:21:04.700 --> 00:21:05.859
brethren<00:21:04.799><c> and</c><00:21:05.019><c> sisters.</c>

00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:08.099
Why<00:21:06.380><c> didn't</c><00:21:06.559><c> they</c><00:21:06.779><c> understand</c><00:21:07.160><c> that?</c>

00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:11.460
It<00:21:08.839><c> was</c><00:21:09.660><c> a</c><00:21:09.720><c> title</c><00:21:10.079><c> of</c><00:21:10.359><c> the</c><00:21:10.500><c> Messiah.</c>

00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:14.160
Daniel<00:21:12.380><c> chapter</c><00:21:12.700><c> 7</c><00:21:13.039><c> had</c><00:21:13.339><c> said,</c>

00:21:14.819 --> 00:21:17.079
they<00:21:15.019><c> brought</c><00:21:15.319><c> one</c><00:21:15.660><c> like</c><00:21:15.960><c> the</c><00:21:16.299><c> Son</c><00:21:16.519><c> of</c><00:21:16.759><c> Man</c>

00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:18.180
under<00:21:17.339><c> the</c><00:21:17.539><c> ancient</c><00:21:17.720><c> of</c><00:21:17.940><c> days.</c>

00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:19.119
There<00:21:18.519><c> it</c><00:21:18.700><c> is.</c>

00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:21.200
In<00:21:19.759><c> Daniel</c><00:21:20.039><c> 7</c><00:21:20.380><c> and</c><00:21:20.559><c> verse</c><00:21:20.740><c> 13,</c>

00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:22.859
it's<00:21:21.460><c> a</c><00:21:21.579><c> title</c><00:21:21.740><c> of</c><00:21:21.880><c> Messiah.</c>

00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:25.279
It's<00:21:23.599><c> in</c><00:21:23.779><c> Psalm</c><00:21:24.019><c> 18,</c>

00:21:25.420 --> 00:21:29.619
the<00:21:25.539><c> Son</c><00:21:25.799><c> of</c><00:21:26.000><c> Man</c><00:21:26.319><c> whom</c><00:21:26.500><c> thou</c><00:21:26.680><c> made</c><00:21:26.920><c> as</c><00:21:27.160><c> strong</c><00:21:27.460><c> for</c><00:21:27.660><c> thyself.</c>

00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:32.920
93<00:21:30.559><c> times</c><00:21:31.200><c> in</c><00:21:31.400><c> Ezekiel's</c><00:21:32.039><c> prophecy,</c>

00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:34.819
something<00:21:33.460><c> like</c><00:21:33.759><c> that</c><00:21:34.000><c> occurs.</c>

00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:38.619
Ezekiel<00:21:35.319><c> was</c><00:21:35.599><c> never</c><00:21:35.920><c> called</c><00:21:36.299><c> the</c><00:21:36.500><c> Son</c><00:21:36.680><c> of</c><00:21:36.880><c> Man,</c><00:21:37.660><c> never.</c>

00:21:38.740 --> 00:21:41.900
He's<00:21:38.960><c> simply</c><00:21:39.319><c> called</c><00:21:40.279><c> Son</c><00:21:40.819><c> of</c><00:21:41.019><c> Man.</c>

00:21:42.779 --> 00:21:45.319
But<00:21:43.099><c> he</c><00:21:43.240><c> is</c><00:21:43.579><c> the</c><00:21:43.859><c> Son</c><00:21:44.180><c> of</c><00:21:44.400><c> Man.</c>

00:21:45.859 --> 00:21:46.619
He<00:21:46.039><c> is</c><00:21:46.119><c> something</c><00:21:46.359><c> different.</c>

00:21:46.619 --> 00:21:47.500
So<00:21:46.779><c> he's</c><00:21:46.880><c> going</c><00:21:47.059><c> to</c><00:21:47.200><c> say,</c>

00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:52.019
who<00:21:48.019><c> do</c><00:21:48.700><c> that</c><00:21:49.000><c> men</c><00:21:49.319><c> say</c><00:21:49.720><c> that</c><00:21:50.079><c> I</c><00:21:50.559><c> the</c><00:21:51.160><c> Son</c><00:21:51.460><c> of</c><00:21:51.680><c> Man</c><00:21:51.880><c> am?</c>

00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:54.480
He<00:21:52.400><c> was</c><00:21:52.559><c> telling</c><00:21:52.799><c> his</c><00:21:53.059><c> disciples</c><00:21:53.460><c> in</c><00:21:53.779><c> that</c><00:21:53.960><c> expression</c>

00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:55.619
what<00:21:54.779><c> he</c><00:21:54.900><c> was</c><00:21:55.039><c> trying</c><00:21:55.160><c> to</c><00:21:55.279><c> get</c><00:21:55.420><c> at.</c>

00:21:55.900 --> 00:21:59.000
Where<00:21:56.160><c> was</c><00:21:56.420><c> anybody</c><00:21:56.839><c> understanding</c><00:21:57.579><c> his</c><00:21:57.900><c> representative</c><00:21:58.619><c> character</c>

00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:00.079
among<00:21:59.640><c> the</c><00:21:59.920><c> people?</c>

00:22:00.299 --> 00:22:02.519
And<00:22:00.480><c> where</c><00:22:00.619><c> today</c><00:22:00.880><c> are</c><00:22:01.000><c> people</c><00:22:01.200><c> who</c><00:22:01.420><c> understand</c><00:22:01.700><c> that?</c>

00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:06.220
It's<00:22:03.539><c> not</c><00:22:03.660><c> easy</c><00:22:03.900><c> to</c><00:22:04.180><c> grasp</c><00:22:04.539><c> the</c><00:22:05.119><c> representative</c><00:22:05.799><c> nature</c>

00:22:06.220 --> 00:22:07.619
of<00:22:06.440><c> our</c><00:22:06.640><c> Lord,</c><00:22:06.980><c> brethren</c><00:22:07.140><c> and</c><00:22:07.339><c> sisters.</c>

00:22:08.099 --> 00:22:09.759
We<00:22:08.359><c> say</c><00:22:08.559><c> he's</c><00:22:08.920><c> our</c><00:22:09.200><c> representative.</c>

00:22:10.220 --> 00:22:13.140
Could<00:22:10.440><c> you</c><00:22:10.759><c> give</c><00:22:10.940><c> me</c><00:22:11.180><c> a</c><00:22:11.339><c> definition</c><00:22:11.759><c> of</c><00:22:11.900><c> what</c><00:22:12.039><c> that</c><00:22:12.319><c> means?</c>

00:22:13.859 --> 00:22:15.000
You<00:22:14.099><c> think</c><00:22:14.259><c> about</c><00:22:14.519><c> it.</c>

00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:16.680
I<00:22:15.400><c> think</c><00:22:15.480><c> it</c><00:22:15.720><c> could.</c>

00:22:17.660 --> 00:22:19.119
And<00:22:17.799><c> when</c><00:22:17.940><c> you</c><00:22:18.160><c> do,</c>

00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:21.160
can<00:22:19.400><c> we</c><00:22:19.680><c> give</c><00:22:19.900><c> a</c><00:22:20.180><c> practical</c><00:22:20.519><c> demonstration</c>

00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:22.740
of<00:22:21.319><c> what</c><00:22:21.480><c> that</c><00:22:21.720><c> means?</c>

00:22:23.380 --> 00:22:27.220
Because<00:22:23.720><c> he</c><00:22:23.859><c> was</c><00:22:24.460><c> a</c><00:22:25.059><c> representative</c><00:22:25.660><c> of</c><00:22:26.119><c> the</c><00:22:26.279><c> men.</c>

00:22:27.779 --> 00:22:30.140
He<00:22:27.980><c> did</c><00:22:28.279><c> come</c><00:22:28.740><c> in</c><00:22:29.240><c> our</c><00:22:29.519><c> nature</c>

00:22:30.140 --> 00:22:32.880
because<00:22:31.279><c> of</c><00:22:31.720><c> our</c><00:22:31.960><c> sins.</c>

00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:35.519
That's<00:22:34.079><c> why</c><00:22:34.339><c> he</c><00:22:34.579><c> came.</c>

00:22:35.900 --> 00:22:38.440
And<00:22:36.160><c> he</c><00:22:36.279><c> came</c><00:22:36.519><c> to</c><00:22:36.700><c> be</c><00:22:36.880><c> involved,</c><00:22:37.819><c> brethren</c><00:22:38.019><c> and</c><00:22:38.259><c> sisters,</c>

00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:41.019
in<00:22:38.759><c> all</c><00:22:39.180><c> that</c><00:22:39.480><c> he</c><00:22:39.599><c> did</c><00:22:39.779><c> for</c><00:22:40.099><c> others.</c>

00:22:42.380 --> 00:22:45.779
And<00:22:42.940><c> he</c><00:22:43.039><c> could</c><00:22:43.279><c> never</c><00:22:43.539><c> have</c><00:22:43.819><c> been</c><00:22:44.059><c> saved</c><00:22:44.319><c> himself</c>

00:22:45.940 --> 00:22:48.039
had<00:22:46.500><c> he</c><00:22:46.660><c> not</c><00:22:46.859><c> done</c><00:22:47.180><c> on</c><00:22:47.460><c> our</c><00:22:47.759><c> account</c>

00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:50.240
what<00:22:48.240><c> God</c><00:22:48.460><c> wanted</c><00:22:48.759><c> him</c><00:22:48.980><c> to</c><00:22:49.140><c> do.</c>

00:22:50.940 --> 00:22:54.440
But<00:22:51.059><c> how</c><00:22:51.339><c> many</c><00:22:51.519><c> understand</c><00:22:52.019><c> the</c><00:22:52.279><c> Atonement</c><00:22:52.680><c> like</c><00:22:53.119><c> that?</c>

When<00:23:19.680><c> we</c><00:23:19.859><c> understand</c><00:23:20.519><c> that,</c>

00:23:21.140 --> 00:23:23.039

except<00:25:20.359><c> he</c><00:25:20.480><c> was</c><00:25:20.579><c> the</c><00:25:20.700><c> Messiah.</c>

00:25:21.140 --> 00:25:22.779
He<00:25:21.259><c> has</c><00:25:21.480><c> to</c><00:25:21.619><c> be</c><00:25:21.720><c> the</c><00:25:21.880><c> Messiah.</c>

00:25:22.819 --> 00:25:24.400
There<00:25:22.900><c> were</c><00:25:22.980><c> those</c><00:25:23.180><c> who</c><00:25:23.319><c> actually</c><00:25:23.640><c> said</c><00:25:23.900><c> that.</c>

00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:26.559
They're<00:25:24.980><c> not</c><00:25:25.200><c> saying</c><00:25:25.380><c> it</c><00:25:25.579><c> now.</c>

00:25:26.859 --> 00:25:30.599
Oh,<00:25:27.400><c> they</c><00:25:27.500><c> said,</c><00:25:28.500><c> some</c><00:25:28.880><c> say</c><00:25:29.079><c> you're</c><00:25:29.240><c> John</c><00:25:29.380><c> the</c><00:25:29.579><c> Baptist.</c>

00:25:32.099 --> 00:25:34.619

00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:39.859
Well,<00:25:38.000><c> you</c><00:25:38.000><c> see,</c><00:25:38.700><c> Herod</c><00:25:38.900><c> Antipas</c><00:25:39.380><c> believed</c>

00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:43.000
He<00:25:41.880><c> was</c><00:25:42.079><c> the</c><00:25:42.200><c> one,</c><00:25:42.400><c> wasn't</c><00:25:42.619><c> he,</c>

00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:50.079
The<00:25:48.220><c> Greek</c><00:25:48.440><c> is</c><00:25:48.579><c> in</c><00:25:48.660><c> the</c><00:25:48.859><c> present</c><00:25:49.140><c> continuous</c><00:25:49.859><c> tense.</c>

He<00:25:50.299><c> kept</c><00:25:50.599><c> telling</c><00:25:50.900><c> him.</c>

00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:52.579

00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:55.400
He<00:25:53.019><c> kept</c><00:25:53.240><c> telling</c><00:25:53.500><c> him</c><00:25:53.720><c> again</c><00:25:53.980><c> and</c><00:25:54.160><c> again</c><00:25:54.359><c> and</c><00:25:54.500><c> again.</c>

00:25:55.539 --> 00:25:56.339
You're<00:25:55.940><c> wrong.</c>

00:25:56.660 --> 00:25:58.359
You're<00:25:56.859><c> wrong</c><00:25:57.140><c> to</c><00:25:57.279><c> have</c><00:25:57.380><c> your</c><00:25:57.579><c> brother</c><00:25:57.779><c> Philip's</c><00:25:58.240><c> wife.</c>

00:25:58.519 --> 00:26:00.079
It's<00:25:58.660><c> wrong,</c><00:25:59.180><c> brethren</c><00:25:59.279><c> and</c><00:25:59.460><c> sisters,</c><00:25:59.640><c> to</c><00:25:59.740><c> do</c><00:25:59.920><c> that.</c>

00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:01.019
It's<00:26:00.279><c> terribly</c><00:26:00.700><c> wrong.</c>

00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:02.460
And<00:26:01.339><c> John</c><00:26:01.500><c> kept</c><00:26:01.759><c> telling</c><00:26:02.039><c> him</c><00:26:02.220><c> that.</c>

00:26:02.619 --> 00:26:04.539

00:26:05.740 --> 00:26:08.460
And<00:26:05.819><c> Herod</c><00:26:06.059><c> Antipas,</c><00:26:06.559><c> against</c><00:26:06.799><c> his</c><00:26:06.960><c> own</c><00:26:07.279><c> better</c><00:26:07.539><c> feelings,</c>

00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:10.380
suffered<00:26:08.960><c> tremendous</c><00:26:09.440><c> remorse</c><00:26:09.880><c> over</c><00:26:10.099><c> that</c>

00:26:10.380 --> 00:26:12.579
and<00:26:10.740><c> so</c><00:26:10.900><c> much</c><00:26:11.099><c> so</c><00:26:11.259><c> that</c><00:26:11.380><c> he</c><00:26:11.460><c> had</c><00:26:11.700><c> nightmares</c><00:26:12.059><c> over</c><00:26:12.380><c> it.</c>

00:26:12.579 --> 00:26:14.619
And<00:26:12.700><c> when</c><00:26:12.839><c> he</c><00:26:13.000><c> heard</c><00:26:13.180><c> the</c><00:26:13.460><c> rumours</c><00:26:13.900><c> floating</c><00:26:14.259><c> around</c>

00:26:14.619 --> 00:26:16.480

00:26:16.619 --> 00:26:17.920
He<00:26:16.779><c> didn't</c><00:26:17.079><c> start</c><00:26:17.480><c> that</c><00:26:17.720><c> belief.</c>

00:26:18.019 --> 00:26:19.099
There<00:26:18.079><c> were</c><00:26:18.460><c> rumours</c><00:26:18.799><c> around.</c>

00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:20.640
Luke<00:26:19.400><c> tells</c><00:26:19.640><c> us</c><00:26:19.859><c> that.</c>

00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:22.519
Luke<00:26:21.859><c> says</c><00:26:22.099><c> that.</c>

00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:24.980
Luke<00:26:23.240><c> says</c><00:26:23.480><c> that</c><00:26:23.660><c> the</c><00:26:23.700><c> people</c><00:26:24.079><c> rumoured</c><00:26:24.660><c> it</c>

00:26:26.380 --> 00:26:28.740
But<00:26:26.539><c> they</c><00:26:26.920><c> knew</c><00:26:27.319><c> that</c><00:26:27.559><c> John</c><00:26:27.819><c> and</c><00:26:28.019><c> Jesus</c><00:26:28.220><c> were</c><00:26:28.500><c> contemporaries.</c>

00:26:29.140 --> 00:26:31.740
How<00:26:29.380><c> could</c><00:26:29.640><c> they</c><00:26:29.839><c> believe</c><00:26:30.180><c> he</c><00:26:30.259><c> was</c><00:26:30.460><c> John</c><00:26:30.660><c> the</c><00:26:30.839><c> Baptist?</c>

00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:43.119
They'll<00:26:40.839><c> believe</c><00:26:41.099><c> anything</c><00:26:41.539><c> but</c><00:26:42.019><c> the</c><00:26:42.259><c> truth.</c>

00:26:43.599 --> 00:26:44.720
Anything<00:26:44.000><c> to</c><00:26:44.180><c> get</c><00:26:44.319><c> rid</c><00:26:44.460><c> of</c><00:26:44.559><c> him.</c>

00:26:44.859 --> 00:26:47.259
And<00:26:45.000><c> because</c><00:26:45.259><c> John</c><00:26:45.539><c> had</c><00:26:45.700><c> said</c><00:26:45.819><c> he</c><00:26:45.940><c> was</c><00:26:46.200><c> the</c><00:26:46.359><c> Messiah,</c>

00:26:58.079 --> 00:26:59.460
Ridiculous<00:26:58.519><c> belief.</c>

00:27:00.299 --> 00:27:01.859
You<00:27:00.299><c> know,</c><00:27:00.559><c> everything</c><00:27:00.779><c> they</c><00:27:01.119><c> said</c><00:27:01.339><c> about</c><00:27:01.559><c> the</c><00:27:01.720><c> Lord,</c>

00:27:20.519 --> 00:27:21.359
that<00:27:20.720><c> he</c><00:27:20.779><c> was</c><00:27:20.960><c> the</c><00:27:21.119><c> Messiah.</c>

00:27:21.559 --> 00:27:24.099
So<00:27:21.700><c> they</c><00:27:21.920><c> thought</c><00:27:22.099><c> he</c><00:27:22.180><c> was</c><00:27:22.440><c> John,</c><00:27:22.779><c> who</c><00:27:22.920><c> was</c><00:27:23.220><c> the</c><00:27:23.579><c> forerunner.</c>

00:27:24.200 --> 00:27:25.779
And<00:27:24.319><c> John</c><00:27:24.559><c> said</c><00:27:24.759><c> he</c><00:27:24.839><c> was</c><00:27:25.039><c> the</c><00:27:25.220><c> forerunner.</c>

00:27:26.140 --> 00:27:27.880
That's<00:27:26.339><c> what</c><00:27:26.519><c> some</c><00:27:26.779><c> men</c><00:27:27.000><c> said.</c>

00:27:28.500 --> 00:27:30.660
Others<00:27:28.720><c> said,</c><00:27:29.480><c> disciples</c><00:27:29.859><c> told</c><00:27:30.180><c> the</c><00:27:30.339><c> Lord,</c>

00:27:31.019 --> 00:27:33.579
there<00:27:31.180><c> are</c><00:27:31.339><c> others</c><00:27:31.380><c> going</c><00:27:31.619><c> around</c><00:27:31.900><c> saying</c><00:27:32.160><c> that</c><00:27:32.299><c> you're</c><00:27:32.799><c> Elijah,</c>

00:27:35.259 --> 00:27:36.380
another<00:27:35.819><c> forerunner.</c>

00:27:36.579 --> 00:27:38.940
Behold,<00:27:37.000><c> I</c><00:27:37.279><c> send</c><00:27:37.480><c> you</c><00:27:38.039><c> Elijah</c><00:27:38.420><c> the</c><00:27:38.720><c> prophet</c>

00:27:38.940 --> 00:27:42.279
before<00:27:39.539><c> the</c><00:27:39.940><c> great</c><00:27:40.160><c> and</c><00:27:40.480><c> notable</c><00:27:40.759><c> day</c><00:27:41.119><c> of</c><00:27:41.299><c> the</c><00:27:41.460><c> Lord.</c>

00:27:42.980 --> 00:27:44.980
And<00:27:43.319><c> so</c><00:27:43.400><c> they</c><00:27:43.619><c> thought</c><00:27:43.900><c> that</c><00:27:44.079><c> he's</c><00:27:44.220><c> another</c><00:27:44.559><c> forerunner</c>

00:27:44.980 --> 00:27:46.779
in<00:27:45.140><c> the</c><00:27:45.180><c> form</c><00:27:45.500><c> of</c><00:27:45.740><c> Elijah.</c>

00:27:47.500 --> 00:27:50.039
Right?<00:27:48.000><c> They</c><00:27:48.000><c> had</c><00:27:48.180><c> great</c><00:27:48.440><c> opinions</c><00:27:48.799><c> of</c><00:27:48.960><c> him.</c>

00:27:50.480 --> 00:27:53.299
But<00:27:50.740><c> nobody</c><00:27:51.160><c> is</c><00:27:51.660><c> believing</c><00:27:51.980><c> he's</c><00:27:52.259><c> the</c><00:27:52.400><c> Messiah.</c>

00:27:54.259 --> 00:27:57.180
Others<00:27:54.700><c> said</c><00:27:55.140><c> he</c><00:27:55.859><c> was</c><00:27:56.039><c> Jeremiah.</c>

00:27:57.740 --> 00:27:59.619
Where<00:27:58.099><c> did</c><00:27:58.220><c> they</c><00:27:58.279><c> get</c><00:27:58.420><c> that</c><00:27:58.640><c> from?</c>

00:28:00.619 --> 00:28:02.720
They<00:28:00.900><c> got</c><00:28:01.039><c> that</c><00:28:01.180><c> from</c><00:28:01.339><c> the</c><00:28:01.400><c> book</c><00:28:01.539><c> of</c><00:28:01.740><c> Maccabees.</c>

00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:06.099
We<00:28:04.259><c> don't</c><00:28:04.380><c> have</c><00:28:04.539><c> the</c><00:28:04.660><c> book</c><00:28:04.799><c> of</c><00:28:05.000><c> Maccabees.</c>

00:28:06.220 --> 00:28:07.420
It's<00:28:06.240><c> not</c><00:28:06.420><c> in</c><00:28:06.640><c> the</c><00:28:06.819><c> canon</c><00:28:06.960><c> of</c><00:28:07.220><c> Scripture.</c>

00:28:07.579 --> 00:28:08.759
It's<00:28:07.660><c> not</c><00:28:07.819><c> an</c><00:28:08.079><c> inspired</c><00:28:08.500><c> record.</c>

00:28:08.799 --> 00:28:10.619
We<00:28:08.920><c> don't</c><00:28:09.220><c> need</c><00:28:09.440><c> it.</c>

00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:12.660
But<00:28:10.900><c> they</c><00:28:11.079><c> had</c><00:28:11.240><c> the</c><00:28:11.339><c> book</c><00:28:11.519><c> of</c><00:28:11.680><c> Maccabees.</c>

chapter<00:28:15.140><c> four,</c><00:28:15.779><c> there's</c><00:28:15.960><c> a</c><00:28:16.079><c> record</c><00:28:16.359><c> there</c>

00:28:16.579 --> 00:28:17.920
that<00:28:16.759><c> one</c><00:28:17.019><c> day</c><00:28:17.319><c> Jeremiah,</c>

00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:19.819
it<00:28:18.460><c> was</c><00:28:18.660><c> said</c><00:28:18.859><c> that</c><00:28:19.099><c> in</c><00:28:19.220><c> his</c><00:28:19.480><c> lifetime,</c>

00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:21.380
Jeremiah<00:28:20.400><c> had</c><00:28:20.680><c> gone</c><00:28:20.839><c> to</c><00:28:21.000><c> Mount</c><00:28:21.180><c> Nebo.</c>

00:28:21.420 --> 00:28:22.940
All<00:28:21.599><c> this</c><00:28:21.720><c> was</c><00:28:21.900><c> a</c><00:28:21.920><c> lot</c><00:28:22.099><c> of</c><00:28:22.279><c> nonsense,</c><00:28:22.579><c> of</c><00:28:22.759><c> course.</c>

00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:25.220
But<00:28:23.279><c> they</c><00:28:23.440><c> had</c><00:28:23.599><c> said</c><00:28:23.680><c> he'd</c><00:28:23.900><c> gone</c><00:28:24.079><c> to</c><00:28:24.240><c> Mount</c><00:28:24.420><c> Nebo.</c>

00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:28.279
He<00:28:25.599><c> had</c><00:28:25.839><c> hidden</c><00:28:26.039><c> at</c><00:28:26.240><c> Mount</c><00:28:26.440><c> Nebo</c><00:28:26.920><c> the</c><00:28:27.160><c> tabernacle,</c>

00:28:31.599 --> 00:28:33.180
And<00:28:31.859><c> it</c><00:28:31.960><c> was</c><00:28:32.099><c> said</c><00:28:32.339><c> that</c><00:28:32.599><c> those</c><00:28:32.900><c> things</c>

00:28:33.180 --> 00:28:34.859
would<00:28:33.359><c> only</c><00:28:33.519><c> be</c><00:28:33.759><c> revealed</c><00:28:34.039><c> by</c><00:28:34.339><c> Jeremiah</c>

00:28:34.859 --> 00:28:36.779
when<00:28:35.039><c> there'd</c><00:28:35.279><c> be</c><00:28:35.380><c> a</c><00:28:35.599><c> great</c><00:28:35.900><c> gathering</c><00:28:36.240><c> of</c><00:28:36.420><c> the</c><00:28:36.599><c> people,</c>

00:28:36.819 --> 00:28:39.440
and<00:28:37.059><c> Jeremiah</c><00:28:37.400><c> would</c><00:28:37.640><c> come</c><00:28:37.940><c> and</c><00:28:38.259><c> reveal</c><00:28:38.500><c> where</c><00:28:38.660><c> those</c><00:28:38.920><c> things</c><00:28:39.140><c> were,</c>

00:28:39.660 --> 00:28:41.119
and<00:28:39.819><c> there'd</c><00:28:39.980><c> be</c><00:28:40.140><c> the</c><00:28:40.319><c> gathering</c><00:28:40.619><c> of</c><00:28:40.779><c> the</c><00:28:40.940><c> people</c>

around<00:28:41.359><c> Messiah,</c><00:28:41.859><c> around</c><00:28:42.160><c> those</c><00:28:42.539><c> things.</c>

00:28:43.759 --> 00:28:45.039
That's<00:28:43.960><c> in</c><00:28:44.140><c> the</c><00:28:44.160><c> second</c><00:28:44.420><c> book</c><00:28:44.619><c> of</c><00:28:44.799><c> Maccabees.</c>

00:28:45.140 --> 00:28:45.920
I've<00:28:45.259><c> read</c><00:28:45.380><c> that</c><00:28:45.559><c> for</c><00:28:45.680><c> myself.</c>

00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:47.039
I've<00:28:46.140><c> got</c><00:28:46.259><c> a</c><00:28:46.319><c> copy</c><00:28:46.519><c> of</c><00:28:46.579><c> the</c><00:28:46.740><c> Maccabees.</c>

00:28:47.099 --> 00:28:49.299
I've<00:28:47.319><c> found</c><00:28:47.440><c> the</c><00:28:47.660><c> reference,</c><00:28:47.900><c> and</c><00:28:48.039><c> there</c><00:28:48.200><c> it</c><00:28:48.339><c> is.</c>

00:28:50.160 --> 00:28:51.940
So<00:28:50.279><c> they</c><00:28:50.420><c> believed</c><00:28:50.720><c> he</c><00:28:50.819><c> was</c><00:28:50.980><c> Jeremiah,</c><00:28:51.480><c> you</c><00:28:51.740><c> see,</c>

00:28:52.099 --> 00:28:54.599
another<00:28:52.539><c> forerunner,</c><00:28:53.279><c> in</c><00:28:53.440><c> their</c><00:28:53.660><c> opinion.</c>

00:28:55.119 --> 00:28:56.460
Jeremiah's<00:28:55.519><c> not</c><00:28:55.700><c> a</c><00:28:55.839><c> forerunner.</c>

00:28:56.819 --> 00:28:58.420
But<00:28:56.920><c> they</c><00:28:57.099><c> thought</c><00:28:57.259><c> he</c><00:28:57.460><c> was.</c>

00:28:58.519 --> 00:29:01.920
And<00:28:58.660><c> so</c><00:28:58.740><c> they</c><00:28:58.920><c> attributed</c><00:28:59.220><c> that</c><00:28:59.880><c> to</c><00:29:00.079><c> the</c><00:29:00.220><c> Lord</c><00:29:00.380><c> Jesus</c><00:29:00.779><c> Christ.</c>

00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:05.579
Or<00:29:02.880><c> they</c><00:29:03.059><c> said,</c><00:29:04.160><c> one</c><00:29:04.339><c> of</c><00:29:04.460><c> the</c><00:29:04.680><c> prophets.</c>

00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:08.500
And<00:29:06.759><c> they</c><00:29:06.900><c> would</c><00:29:07.039><c> have</c><00:29:07.180><c> mean,</c><00:29:07.519><c> especially,</c><00:29:07.920><c> of</c><00:29:08.099><c> course,</c>

00:29:08.500 --> 00:29:12.380
the<00:29:09.480><c> great</c><00:29:09.980><c> mysterious,</c><00:29:11.200><c> to</c><00:29:11.359><c> them</c><00:29:11.599><c> mysterious,</c>

unknown<00:29:13.240><c> prophet.</c>

00:29:14.460 --> 00:29:18.220
I<00:29:14.500><c> will</c><00:29:14.759><c> raise</c><00:29:15.099><c> the</c><00:29:15.359><c> upper</c><00:29:15.640><c> prophet</c><00:29:16.420><c> like</c><00:29:16.940><c> unto</c><00:29:17.240><c> thee.</c>

00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:20.920
Like<00:29:19.400><c> unto</c><00:29:19.839><c> thee.</c>

00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:23.500
And<00:29:21.579><c> the</c><00:29:21.759><c> Jews</c><00:29:21.960><c> understood</c><00:29:22.480><c> that</c><00:29:22.799><c> great</c><00:29:23.160><c> prophet,</c>

And<00:29:31.599><c> so</c><00:29:31.740><c> there</c><00:29:31.920><c> were</c><00:29:32.180><c> lofty</c><00:29:32.680><c> opinions</c><00:29:33.059><c> of</c><00:29:33.259><c> our</c><00:29:33.460><c> Lord</c>

in<00:32:08.500><c> many</c><00:32:08.740><c> parts</c><00:32:08.980><c> of</c><00:32:09.119><c> the</c><00:32:09.259><c> brotherhood</c>

00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:12.019
because<00:32:09.819><c> they're</c><00:32:10.119><c> affected</c><00:32:10.559><c> by</c><00:32:10.819><c> the</c><00:32:11.039><c> opinion</c><00:32:11.299><c> of</c><00:32:11.460><c> the</c><00:32:11.660><c> world.</c>

00:32:12.420 --> 00:32:14.299
That's<00:32:12.619><c> what</c><00:32:12.779><c> Jesus</c><00:32:13.019><c> wanted</c><00:32:13.259><c> us</c><00:32:13.420><c> to</c><00:32:13.519><c> know.</c>

00:32:14.420 --> 00:32:15.559
I've<00:32:14.720><c> been</c><00:32:14.880><c> with</c><00:32:15.119><c> you.</c>

00:32:15.859 --> 00:32:17.279
I've<00:32:16.380><c> prayed</c><00:32:16.559><c> alone</c><00:32:17.079><c> with</c><00:32:17.240><c> you.</c>

00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:18.740
You're<00:32:17.559><c> still</c><00:32:17.819><c> with</c><00:32:18.059><c> me.</c>

00:32:18.740 --> 00:32:20.660
Where's<00:32:19.440><c> your</c><00:32:19.700><c> mind?</c>

00:32:21.299 --> 00:32:23.680
What<00:32:21.460><c> about</c><00:32:21.619><c> all</c><00:32:21.920><c> the</c><00:32:22.319><c> experiences</c><00:32:22.680><c> we've</c><00:32:22.980><c> had</c><00:32:23.119><c> just</c><00:32:23.400><c> recently</c>

00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:25.559
where<00:32:23.880><c> you've</c><00:32:24.140><c> been</c><00:32:24.400><c> probably</c><00:32:24.720><c> a</c><00:32:24.859><c> bit</c><00:32:24.980><c> disappointed</c>

00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:26.720
in<00:32:25.740><c> things</c><00:32:25.940><c> that's</c><00:32:26.119><c> gone</c><00:32:26.359><c> on?</c>

00:32:26.940 --> 00:32:29.640
Wondered<00:32:27.339><c> why</c><00:32:27.619><c> I've</c><00:32:27.900><c> refused</c><00:32:28.240><c> to</c><00:32:28.420><c> give</c><00:32:28.640><c> signs,</c>

00:32:29.779 --> 00:32:31.319
which<00:32:30.000><c> could</c><00:32:30.140><c> have</c><00:32:30.240><c> been</c><00:32:30.420><c> a</c><00:32:30.640><c> marvelous</c><00:32:31.039><c> way</c>

00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:32.480
to<00:32:31.519><c> demonstrate</c><00:32:31.880><c> I'm</c><00:32:32.059><c> the</c><00:32:32.180><c> Messiah.</c>

00:32:32.700 --> 00:32:33.779
Why<00:32:32.960><c> I</c><00:32:33.039><c> didn't</c><00:32:33.240><c> do</c><00:32:33.480><c> that?</c>

00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:35.980
I'm<00:32:34.460><c> wondering,</c><00:32:34.940><c> what's</c><00:32:35.180><c> that</c><00:32:35.380><c> done</c><00:32:35.500><c> to</c><00:32:35.700><c> you?</c>

00:32:36.180 --> 00:32:37.539
What<00:32:36.339><c> do</c><00:32:36.440><c> you</c><00:32:36.660><c> think?</c>

00:32:38.700 --> 00:32:40.859
And<00:32:38.920><c> the</c><00:32:39.119><c> answer</c><00:32:39.259><c> was</c><00:32:39.539><c> forthcoming,</c><00:32:40.220><c> brethren</c><00:32:40.339><c> and</c><00:32:40.579><c> sisters,</c>

00:32:40.859 --> 00:32:42.880
and<00:32:41.059><c> there</c><00:32:41.240><c> was</c><00:32:41.440><c> no</c><00:32:41.740><c> hesitation.</c>

00:32:43.940 --> 00:32:45.660
A<00:32:44.299><c> marvelous</c><00:32:44.720><c> answer.</c>

00:32:46.339 --> 00:32:48.319
And<00:32:46.539><c> whatever</c><00:32:46.839><c> else</c><00:32:47.119><c> might</c><00:32:47.339><c> have</c><00:32:47.559><c> happened</c><00:32:47.799><c> subsequently</c>

00:32:48.319 --> 00:32:49.819
to<00:32:48.539><c> Peter's</c><00:32:48.940><c> confession,</c>

00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:52.619
there's<00:32:50.119><c> nothing</c><00:32:50.480><c> that</c><00:32:50.720><c> can</c><00:32:50.940><c> detract</c><00:32:51.259><c> from</c><00:32:51.420><c> that</c><00:32:51.700><c> confession.</c>

00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:54.359
And<00:32:53.000><c> it</c><00:32:53.079><c> would</c><00:32:53.259><c> have</c><00:32:53.440><c> been,</c><00:32:53.720><c> brethren</c><00:32:53.900><c> and</c><00:32:54.180><c> sisters,</c>

00:32:54.539 --> 00:32:57.559
one<00:32:54.740><c> of</c><00:32:54.859><c> the</c><00:32:55.000><c> greatest</c><00:32:55.819><c> thrills</c><00:32:56.900><c> ever</c>

00:32:57.559 --> 00:33:00.119
that<00:32:57.859><c> the</c><00:32:58.000><c> Lord</c><00:32:58.200><c> Jesus</c><00:32:58.700><c> Christ</c><00:32:59.079><c> received</c><00:32:59.480><c> in</c><00:32:59.599><c> His</c><00:32:59.859><c> lifetime.</c>

00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:01.640
He<00:33:00.279><c> didn't</c><00:33:00.500><c> get</c><00:33:00.720><c> many.</c>

00:33:02.279 --> 00:33:04.599
But<00:33:02.500><c> I</c><00:33:02.740><c> believe</c><00:33:02.980><c> this</c><00:33:03.160><c> would</c><00:33:03.319><c> have</c><00:33:03.500><c> been</c><00:33:03.859><c> one</c><00:33:04.079><c> of</c><00:33:04.200><c> the</c><00:33:04.400><c> greatest,</c>

00:33:04.619 --> 00:33:07.980
if<00:33:04.779><c> not</c><00:33:05.059><c> the</c><00:33:05.319><c> greatest</c><00:33:05.680><c> thrill</c><00:33:05.940><c> He</c><00:33:06.200><c> ever</c><00:33:06.500><c> got</c><00:33:06.779><c> in</c><00:33:07.039><c> life</c>

00:33:08.339 --> 00:33:11.099
when<00:33:08.839><c> Peter,</c><00:33:09.799><c> dear</c><00:33:10.019><c> Peter,</c>

00:33:11.259 --> 00:33:13.539
that<00:33:11.539><c> wonderful,</c><00:33:12.380><c> burly</c><00:33:12.680><c> fisherman,</c>

00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:15.579
that<00:33:14.240><c> great</c><00:33:14.579><c> man,</c><00:33:15.000><c> brethren</c><00:33:15.180><c> and</c><00:33:15.420><c> sisters,</c>

00:33:15.579 --> 00:33:18.759
with<00:33:15.779><c> the</c><00:33:15.880><c> mouthpiece</c><00:33:16.299><c> of</c><00:33:16.460><c> the</c><00:33:16.599><c> Apostles,</c><00:33:16.900><c> and</c><00:33:17.180><c> rightly</c><00:33:17.579><c> so,</c>

00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:20.740
came<00:33:19.220><c> out</c><00:33:19.400><c> with</c><00:33:19.559><c> a</c><00:33:19.720><c> confession</c>

00:33:21.259 --> 00:33:23.240
that<00:33:21.779><c> got</c><00:33:22.000><c> the</c><00:33:22.259><c> commendation</c><00:33:22.740><c> of</c><00:33:22.920><c> the</c><00:33:22.980><c> Lord</c>

00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:25.599
that<00:33:23.500><c> few</c><00:33:23.819><c> people</c><00:33:24.299><c> ever</c><00:33:24.779><c> got.</c>

00:33:26.019 --> 00:33:28.799
A<00:33:26.279><c> commendation</c><00:33:26.880><c> that</c><00:33:26.980><c> was</c><00:33:27.579><c> absolutely</c><00:33:28.200><c> vulnerable</c>

00:33:28.799 --> 00:33:30.859
and<00:33:29.240><c> full</c><00:33:29.680><c> of</c><00:33:29.880><c> emotion.</c>

00:33:31.059 --> 00:33:32.920
Why<00:33:31.480><c> did</c><00:33:31.619><c> He</c><00:33:31.700><c> get</c><00:33:31.940><c> it</c><00:33:32.180><c> there?</c>

00:33:34.099 --> 00:33:35.619
You<00:33:34.240><c> know,</c><00:33:34.500><c> it</c><00:33:34.500><c> wasn't</c><00:33:34.819><c> the</c><00:33:34.940><c> first</c><00:33:35.279><c> time</c>

00:33:35.619 --> 00:33:37.539
that<00:33:35.839><c> Peter</c><00:33:35.980><c> had</c><00:33:36.200><c> said</c><00:33:36.400><c> something</c><00:33:36.680><c> like</c><00:33:36.980><c> that.</c>

00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:40.940
If<00:33:38.039><c> you</c><00:33:38.039><c> come</c><00:33:38.200><c> with</c><00:33:38.400><c> me</c><00:33:38.539><c> back</c><00:33:38.779><c> to</c><00:33:38.859><c> John</c><00:33:39.119><c> Chapter</c><00:33:39.420><c> 6,</c>

00:33:41.440 --> 00:33:44.440
Peter<00:33:41.700><c> had</c><00:33:41.940><c> said</c><00:33:42.140><c> that</c><00:33:42.500><c> on</c><00:33:42.740><c> an</c><00:33:42.900><c> earlier</c><00:33:43.160><c> occasion.</c>

00:33:44.740 --> 00:33:46.539
Not<00:33:45.259><c> exactly</c><00:33:45.779><c> what</c><00:33:45.960><c> he</c><00:33:46.119><c> said</c><00:33:46.279><c> here,</c>

00:33:46.619 --> 00:33:48.500
but<00:33:46.740><c> something</c><00:33:47.079><c> similar.</c>

00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:55.500
And<00:33:49.400><c> in</c><00:33:49.539><c> John</c><00:33:49.759><c> Chapter</c><00:33:50.059><c> 6,</c><00:33:53.940><c> Verse</c><00:33:54.019><c> 67,</c>

00:33:55.640 --> 00:33:57.119
then<00:33:55.960><c> said</c><00:33:56.160><c> Jesus</c><00:33:56.500><c> under</c><00:33:56.720><c> the</c><00:33:56.920><c> twelve,</c>

00:33:57.200 --> 00:33:59.279
will<00:33:57.359><c> ye</c><00:33:57.539><c> also</c><00:33:57.900><c> go</c><00:33:58.220><c> away?</c>

00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:01.259
Then<00:34:00.059><c> Simon</c><00:34:00.400><c> Peter</c><00:34:00.660><c> answered</c><00:34:01.019><c> him,</c>

00:34:01.259 --> 00:34:02.839
Lord,<00:34:01.579><c> to</c><00:34:01.779><c> whom</c><00:34:01.940><c> shall</c><00:34:02.099><c> we</c><00:34:02.359><c> go?</c>

00:34:03.339 --> 00:34:05.140
Thou<00:34:03.539><c> hast</c><00:34:03.779><c> the</c><00:34:04.059><c> words</c><00:34:04.259><c> of</c><00:34:04.460><c> eternal</c><00:34:04.819><c> life,</c>

00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:07.200
and<00:34:05.440><c> we</c><00:34:05.799><c> believe</c><00:34:06.240><c> and</c><00:34:06.440><c> are</c><00:34:06.759><c> sure</c>

00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:09.579
that<00:34:07.799><c> thou</c><00:34:08.039><c> art</c><00:34:08.199><c> the</c><00:34:08.559><c> Christ,</c>

00:34:09.619 --> 00:34:11.440
the<00:34:09.860><c> Son</c><00:34:10.059><c> of</c><00:34:10.159><c> the</c><00:34:10.239><c> living</c><00:34:10.480><c> God.</c>

00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:13.079
Now<00:34:11.760><c> that</c><00:34:11.860><c> would</c><00:34:12.079><c> seem</c><00:34:12.239><c> almost</c><00:34:12.619><c> identical,</c>

00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:14.039
but<00:34:13.260><c> it's</c><00:34:13.400><c> not</c><00:34:13.679><c> really.</c>

00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:16.860
The<00:34:14.420><c> word</c><00:34:14.760><c> Christ</c><00:34:15.159><c> there</c><00:34:15.420><c> is</c><00:34:15.579><c> really</c><00:34:15.800><c> the</c><00:34:16.079><c> Holy</c><00:34:16.340><c> One.</c>

00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:18.780
Thou<00:34:17.380><c> art</c><00:34:17.559><c> the</c><00:34:17.860><c> Holy</c><00:34:18.260><c> One,</c>

00:34:18.940 --> 00:34:20.159
the<00:34:19.199><c> Son</c><00:34:19.360><c> of</c><00:34:19.480><c> the</c><00:34:19.579><c> living</c><00:34:19.800><c> God.</c>

00:34:20.300 --> 00:34:23.059
Now<00:34:20.619><c> why</c><00:34:21.099><c> would</c><00:34:21.460><c> Peter</c><00:34:21.719><c> be</c><00:34:22.079><c> commended</c>

00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:26.119

00:34:26.460 --> 00:34:29.400

00:34:29.739 --> 00:34:31.719
Because<00:34:30.039><c> you</c><00:34:30.179><c> see,</c><00:34:30.519><c> brethren</c><00:34:30.659><c> and</c><00:34:30.940><c> sisters,</c>

00:34:32.059 --> 00:34:34.019
the<00:34:32.219><c> Lord</c><00:34:32.679><c> would</c><00:34:33.099><c> sense</c><00:34:33.440><c> and</c><00:34:33.760><c> know</c>

the<00:34:34.280><c> depth</c><00:34:34.579><c> of</c><00:34:34.800><c> that</c><00:34:34.980><c> confession.</c>

00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:38.239
We<00:34:36.760><c> have</c><00:34:37.079><c> many,</c><00:34:37.559><c> brethren</c><00:34:37.780><c> and</c><00:34:38.039><c> sisters,</c>

00:34:38.380 --> 00:34:39.380
including<00:34:38.679><c> ourselves,</c>

00:34:39.380 --> 00:34:42.900
that<00:34:40.340><c> can</c><00:34:40.519><c> express</c><00:34:40.940><c> ourselves</c><00:34:41.619><c> eloquently.</c>

00:34:43.099 --> 00:34:46.119
We<00:34:43.260><c> can</c><00:34:43.539><c> say</c><00:34:44.139><c> ever</c><00:34:44.760><c> so</c><00:34:45.019><c> eloquently,</c>

00:34:46.460 --> 00:34:48.380
I<00:34:46.719><c> love</c><00:34:47.360><c> God.</c>

00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:51.739
And<00:34:50.019><c> God</c><00:34:50.280><c> knows,</c><00:34:50.980><c> brethren</c><00:34:50.980><c> and</c><00:34:51.300><c> sisters,</c>

00:34:52.159 --> 00:34:55.360
just<00:34:52.539><c> how</c><00:34:53.039><c> deep</c><00:34:53.519><c> we</c><00:34:54.219><c> mean</c><00:34:54.440><c> that.</c>

00:34:56.340 --> 00:34:58.179
When<00:34:56.579><c> Peter</c><00:34:56.840><c> said</c><00:34:57.059><c> that</c><00:34:57.239><c> on</c><00:34:57.420><c> the</c><00:34:57.579><c> first</c><00:34:57.800><c> occasion,</c>

00:34:58.260 --> 00:35:02.039
the<00:34:58.380><c> Lord</c><00:34:58.519><c> said,</c><00:34:58.760><c> have</c><00:34:58.880><c> not</c><00:34:59.179><c> I</c><00:34:59.659><c> chosen</c><00:35:00.179><c> you,</c>

00:35:02.539 --> 00:35:04.760
and<00:35:03.099><c> yet</c><00:35:03.300><c> one</c><00:35:03.480><c> of</c><00:35:03.599><c> you</c><00:35:03.699><c> is</c><00:35:03.860><c> a</c><00:35:04.000><c> devil?</c>

00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:07.539
In<00:35:05.320><c> other</c><00:35:05.500><c> words,</c><00:35:05.760><c> he</c><00:35:05.880><c> read</c><00:35:06.059><c> Peter's</c><00:35:06.699><c> thoughts.</c>

00:35:07.820 --> 00:35:09.880
The<00:35:08.260><c> statement</c><00:35:08.579><c> was</c><00:35:08.860><c> genuine,</c>

00:35:10.340 --> 00:35:12.860
but<00:35:10.440><c> it</c><00:35:10.559><c> had</c><00:35:10.679><c> a</c><00:35:10.780><c> bit</c><00:35:10.880><c> of</c><00:35:11.119><c> a</c><00:35:11.179><c> puffed</c><00:35:11.460><c>-up</c><00:35:11.539><c> motive</c><00:35:11.820><c> about</c><00:35:12.119><c> it.</c>

00:35:13.059 --> 00:35:15.300
Lord,<00:35:13.519><c> we</c><00:35:13.880><c> have</c><00:35:14.099><c> chosen</c><00:35:14.420><c> you,</c><00:35:14.820><c> we</c><00:35:15.119><c> have.</c>

00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:16.360
We've<00:35:15.659><c> made</c><00:35:15.840><c> up</c><00:35:15.960><c> our</c><00:35:16.139><c> mind.</c>

00:35:16.500 --> 00:35:17.679
We're<00:35:16.820><c> going</c><00:35:16.900><c> to</c><00:35:17.059><c> stick</c><00:35:17.219><c> to</c><00:35:17.420><c> you.</c>

00:35:17.900 --> 00:35:21.219
He<00:35:17.980><c> said,</c><00:35:18.099><c> oh,</c><00:35:19.599><c> you've</c><00:35:19.900><c> chosen</c><00:35:20.179><c> me.</c>

00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:25.119
Have<00:35:21.739><c> not</c><00:35:22.119><c> I</c><00:35:23.000><c> chosen</c><00:35:23.659><c> you?</c>

00:35:25.239 --> 00:35:27.420
And<00:35:25.480><c> Peter,</c><00:35:26.300><c> I'm</c><00:35:26.599><c> not</c><00:35:26.719><c> going</c><00:35:26.860><c> to</c><00:35:27.019><c> tell</c><00:35:27.179><c> you,</c>

00:35:27.519 --> 00:35:28.739
but<00:35:27.760><c> one</c><00:35:28.019><c> of</c><00:35:28.199><c> you</c><00:35:28.300><c> is</c><00:35:28.460><c> a</c><00:35:28.619><c> devil.</c>

00:35:28.739 --> 00:35:32.320
He<00:35:28.860><c> left</c><00:35:29.059><c> him</c><00:35:29.260><c> in</c><00:35:29.460><c> doubt,</c><00:35:30.519><c> and</c><00:35:30.699><c> he</c><00:35:30.940><c> deflated</c><00:35:31.380><c> Peter.</c>

00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:34.340
Clearly<00:35:33.260><c> obvious,</c><00:35:33.739><c> brethren</c><00:35:33.920><c> and</c><00:35:34.199><c> sisters,</c>

00:35:34.340 --> 00:35:37.219
that<00:35:34.579><c> whilst</c><00:35:34.900><c> it</c><00:35:35.000><c> didn't</c><00:35:35.320><c> lack</c><00:35:35.559><c> a</c><00:35:35.679><c> measure</c><00:35:35.860><c> of</c><00:35:36.099><c> sincerity,</c>

00:35:38.039 --> 00:35:40.920
there<00:35:38.099><c> was</c><00:35:38.340><c> an</c><00:35:38.619><c> underlying</c><00:35:39.079><c> motive</c><00:35:39.400><c> there.</c>

00:35:40.940 --> 00:35:42.440
There<00:35:41.059><c> was</c><00:35:41.260><c> not</c><00:35:41.440><c> right.</c>

00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:46.340
There<00:35:43.159><c> was</c><00:35:43.500><c> no</c><00:35:44.099><c> such</c><00:35:44.579><c> motive</c><00:35:45.019><c> here.</c>

00:35:46.940 --> 00:35:49.880
Blessed<00:35:47.239><c> out</c><00:35:47.619><c> thou,</c><00:35:47.860><c> Simon,</c><00:35:48.639><c> son</c><00:35:48.780><c> of</c><00:35:49.000><c> Jonah.</c>

00:35:50.099 --> 00:35:52.159
Flesh<00:35:50.360><c> and</c><00:35:50.539><c> blood</c><00:35:50.739><c> hasn't</c><00:35:51.039><c> revealed</c><00:35:51.320><c> that</c><00:35:51.559><c> to</c><00:35:51.679><c> you,</c>

00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:54.340
but<00:35:52.699><c> my</c><00:35:53.119><c> Father</c><00:35:53.519><c> who</c><00:35:53.659><c> was</c><00:35:53.840><c> in</c><00:35:54.019><c> heaven.</c>

00:35:54.460 --> 00:35:56.260
And<00:35:54.659><c> I</c><00:35:54.780><c> can</c><00:35:55.059><c> see</c><00:35:55.260><c> the</c><00:35:55.420><c> Lord</c><00:35:55.679><c> saying</c><00:35:56.000><c> that,</c>

00:35:56.260 --> 00:35:58.760
brethren<00:35:56.519><c> and</c><00:35:56.780><c> sisters,</c><00:35:56.980><c> with</c><00:35:57.139><c> tears</c><00:35:57.420><c> in</c><00:35:57.539><c> His</c><00:35:57.739><c> eyes.</c>

00:35:59.159 --> 00:36:01.139
Absolutely<00:35:59.639><c> thrilled,</c><00:36:00.159><c> because</c><00:36:00.440><c> there</c><00:36:00.579><c> was</c><00:36:00.780><c> something</c>

00:36:01.139 --> 00:36:03.559
He<00:36:01.360><c> wanted</c><00:36:01.559><c> to</c><00:36:01.860><c> see,</c><00:36:02.199><c> and</c><00:36:02.380><c> He</c><00:36:02.500><c> wanted</c><00:36:02.719><c> to</c><00:36:02.860><c> see</c><00:36:03.079><c> it</c><00:36:03.280><c> there</c>

00:36:03.559 --> 00:36:04.980
above<00:36:03.780><c> every</c><00:36:04.000><c> other</c><00:36:04.340><c> place</c><00:36:04.519><c> in</c><00:36:04.659><c> the</c><00:36:04.800><c> world.</c>

00:36:05.059 --> 00:36:06.619
He<00:36:05.059><c> wanted</c><00:36:05.239><c> to</c><00:36:05.420><c> see</c><00:36:05.579><c> it</c><00:36:05.760><c> there.</c>

00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:09.739
Now,<00:36:06.940><c> this</c><00:36:07.159><c> is</c><00:36:07.340><c> why</c><00:36:07.579><c> Peter</c><00:36:07.820><c> got</c><00:36:08.119><c> commended.</c>

00:36:09.780 --> 00:36:12.659
Because<00:36:09.940><c> number</c><00:36:10.360><c> one,</c><00:36:10.940><c> by</c><00:36:11.139><c> the</c><00:36:11.320><c> Lord's</c><00:36:11.820><c> commendation</c><00:36:12.340><c> of</c><00:36:12.519><c> him,</c>

00:36:12.699 --> 00:36:13.820
we<00:36:12.940><c> know</c><00:36:13.199><c> he</c><00:36:13.320><c> was</c><00:36:13.539><c> genuine.</c>

00:36:13.980 --> 00:36:15.320
We<00:36:14.099><c> know</c><00:36:14.340><c> it</c><00:36:14.460><c> was</c><00:36:14.599><c> a</c><00:36:14.719><c> deep</c><00:36:14.880><c> conviction.</c>

00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:16.559
But<00:36:15.760><c> when</c><00:36:15.980><c> did</c><00:36:16.099><c> it</c><00:36:16.280><c> come?</c>

00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:19.559
It<00:36:17.039><c> came</c><00:36:17.300><c> when</c><00:36:17.679><c> nobody</c><00:36:18.300><c> else</c><00:36:18.800><c> believed</c><00:36:19.199><c> it.</c>

00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:21.699
Look,<00:36:20.320><c> back</c><00:36:20.519><c> in</c><00:36:20.739><c> John,</c><00:36:21.119><c> they</c><00:36:21.280><c> were</c><00:36:21.440><c> saying</c>

00:36:21.699 --> 00:36:22.719
that<00:36:21.840><c> he</c><00:36:21.880><c> was</c><00:36:22.039><c> the</c><00:36:22.179><c> King</c><00:36:22.300><c> of</c><00:36:22.440><c> Israel.</c>

00:36:22.780 --> 00:36:24.219
He's<00:36:22.980><c> the</c><00:36:23.079><c> Son</c><00:36:23.280><c> of</c><00:36:23.460><c> God.</c>

00:36:24.539 --> 00:36:26.699
The<00:36:24.980><c> demons</c><00:36:25.380><c> were</c><00:36:25.579><c> coming</c><00:36:25.780><c> out</c><00:36:25.980><c> and</c><00:36:26.199><c> saying</c><00:36:26.380><c> that.</c>

00:36:27.079 --> 00:36:28.119
It<00:36:27.199><c> was</c><00:36:27.360><c> all</c><00:36:27.599><c> over</c><00:36:27.840><c> the</c><00:36:27.980><c> land.</c>

00:36:28.619 --> 00:36:30.380
Nobody's<00:36:29.059><c> saying</c><00:36:29.360><c> it</c><00:36:29.619><c> now.</c>

00:36:31.139 --> 00:36:33.480
And<00:36:31.579><c> at</c><00:36:31.699><c> a</c><00:36:31.900><c> time,</c><00:36:32.360><c> brothers</c><00:36:32.400><c> and</c><00:36:32.679><c> sisters,</c>

00:36:35.340 --> 00:36:37.780
it<00:36:35.340><c> looked</c><00:36:35.679><c> an</c><00:36:36.059><c> impossibility.</c>

00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:39.460
Peter<00:36:38.079><c> believed</c><00:36:38.559><c> it.</c>

00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:43.000
We've<00:36:40.760><c> got</c><00:36:40.900><c> a</c><00:36:41.019><c> goodly</c><00:36:41.360><c> crowd</c><00:36:41.519><c> of</c><00:36:41.659><c> people</c><00:36:41.840><c> in</c><00:36:41.980><c> this</c><00:36:42.199><c> hall.</c>

00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:20.840
One.

His<00:38:13.619><c> popularity</c><00:38:14.159><c> is</c><00:38:14.460><c> at</c><00:38:14.619><c> all</c><00:38:14.820><c> times</c><00:38:15.079><c> low,</c>

00:38:37.059 --> 00:38:39.500
That's<00:38:37.380><c> why</c><00:38:37.579><c> he</c><00:38:37.579><c> was</c><00:38:37.760><c> at</c><00:38:37.860><c> Caesarea</c><00:38:38.280><c> Philippi,</c>

00:46:45.699 --> 00:46:46.739

00:46:48.800 --> 00:46:49.539

It<00:46:56.940><c> may</c><00:46:57.019><c> not</c><00:46:57.199><c> be</c><00:46:57.420><c> the</c><00:46:57.480><c> next</c>

00:47:04.059 --> 00:47:05.780
There<00:47:04.219><c> are</c><00:47:04.420><c> many</c><00:47:04.719><c> things</c><00:47:05.079><c> which</c><00:47:05.300><c> I</c><00:47:05.460><c> have</c>

Not<00:47:11.500><c> that</c>

00:47:15.519 --> 00:47:18.260
But<00:47:15.619><c> they</c><00:47:15.760><c> were</c><00:47:15.980><c> said</c><00:47:16.159><c> in</c><00:47:16.400><c> a</c><00:47:16.519><c> manner,</c><00:47:16.800><c> brethren</c><00:47:16.940><c> and</c><00:47:17.280><c> sisters</c>

00:47:19.820 --> 00:47:21.280
dependent<00:47:20.119><c> upon</c><00:47:20.420><c> me</c>

00:47:23.780 --> 00:47:25.039
of<00:47:23.920><c> that.</c>

00:47:26.300 --> 00:47:27.820
You<00:47:26.500><c> see,</c><00:47:27.000><c> every</c><00:47:27.340><c> strong</c>

00:47:30.579 --> 00:47:32.519
So<00:47:30.980><c> was</c><00:47:31.199><c> this</c><00:47:31.519><c> one!</c>

00:47:33.280 --> 00:47:33.719

00:47:39.539 --> 00:47:40.840

00:47:50.539 --> 00:47:52.340

the<00:51:37.460><c> same</c><00:51:37.699><c> key</c>

00:51:38.300 --> 00:51:40.820
and<00:51:39.559><c> ran</c><00:51:39.760><c> away.</c>

00:51:41.860 --> 00:51:42.519
Because<00:51:42.260><c> he</c>

00:51:42.519 --> 00:51:44.519
believed<00:51:43.119><c> that</c><00:51:44.340><c> God</c>

00:51:44.519 --> 00:51:46.840
was<00:51:44.739><c> only</c><00:51:44.920><c> related</c><00:51:45.219><c> to</c><00:51:45.539><c> Jews.</c>

00:51:47.940 --> 00:51:49.980
Peter<00:51:48.099><c> didn't</c><00:51:48.360><c> believe</c><00:51:48.699><c> that.</c>

00:51:50.440 --> 00:51:52.900
And<00:51:50.960><c> there</c><00:51:51.199><c> was</c><00:51:51.400><c> the</c><00:51:51.559><c> test.</c>

00:51:54.320 --> 00:51:55.800
Peter<00:51:54.460><c> didn't</c><00:51:54.800><c> meet</c><00:51:55.059><c> that</c><00:51:55.360><c> test</c>

00:51:55.800 --> 00:51:57.119
easily.

00:51:59.940 --> 00:52:01.840
When<00:52:00.000><c> he</c><00:52:00.079><c> went</c><00:52:00.400><c> to</c><00:52:00.739><c> Cornelius</c><00:52:01.179><c> brethren</c><00:52:01.440><c> and</c><00:52:01.639><c> sisters</c>

00:52:01.840 --> 00:52:04.460
when<00:52:01.960><c> he</c><00:52:02.260><c> recounted</c><00:52:02.699><c> the</c><00:52:02.920><c> story</c>

00:52:05.079 --> 00:52:08.000
he<00:52:05.599><c> said</c><00:52:05.739><c> there</c><00:52:05.880><c> were</c><00:52:06.260><c> six</c><00:52:06.679><c> brethren</c><00:52:07.039><c> with</c><00:52:07.239><c> him.</c>

00:52:09.039 --> 00:52:09.960
Six.

00:52:11.079 --> 00:52:11.780
Peter<00:52:11.320><c> wouldn't</c><00:52:11.519><c> go</c>

00:52:11.780 --> 00:52:13.639
on<00:52:11.900><c> his</c><00:52:12.099><c> own.</c><00:52:13.119><c> He</c><00:52:13.300><c> wanted</c>

00:52:13.639 --> 00:52:14.699
witnesses.

00:52:15.760 --> 00:52:17.440
He'd<00:52:15.940><c> seen</c><00:52:16.139><c> the</c><00:52:16.400><c> sheep</c><00:52:16.559><c> let</c><00:52:16.760><c> down</c><00:52:16.920><c> from</c><00:52:17.179><c> heaven</c>

00:52:17.440 --> 00:52:19.440
and<00:52:17.559><c> all</c><00:52:17.739><c> the</c><00:52:17.940><c> unclean</c><00:52:18.320><c> animals.</c>

00:52:20.059 --> 00:52:21.559
And<00:52:20.199><c> yet</c><00:52:20.480><c> Peter</c><00:52:20.780><c> trembled.</c>

00:52:21.820 --> 00:52:23.639
Not<00:52:21.940><c> that</c><00:52:22.139><c> he</c><00:52:22.260><c> lacked</c><00:52:22.619><c> faith.</c>

00:52:24.159 --> 00:52:25.800
His<00:52:24.340><c> conviction</c><00:52:24.760><c> was</c><00:52:25.139><c> just</c><00:52:25.460><c> as</c>

00:52:25.800 --> 00:52:26.659
strong.

00:52:27.400 --> 00:52:29.679
But<00:52:27.519><c> it's</c><00:52:27.800><c> awfully</c><00:52:28.179><c> hard</c><00:52:28.800><c> to</c><00:52:29.119><c> practice</c><00:52:29.500><c> it</c>

00:52:29.679 --> 00:52:31.219
isn't<00:52:29.820><c> it</c><00:52:29.980><c> brethren</c><00:52:30.219><c> and</c><00:52:30.500><c> sisters?</c>

00:52:31.679 --> 00:52:33.679
You<00:52:32.300><c> can</c><00:52:32.480><c> have</c><00:52:32.679><c> a</c><00:52:32.860><c> terrifically</c>

00:52:33.679 --> 00:52:35.239
strong<00:52:34.199><c> conviction.</c>

00:52:36.400 --> 00:52:37.579
But<00:52:36.539><c> when</c><00:52:36.860><c> circumstances</c>

00:52:37.579 --> 00:52:39.260
front<00:52:38.039><c> you</c><00:52:38.280><c> up</c><00:52:38.519><c> with</c><00:52:38.699><c> it</c>

00:52:39.260 --> 00:52:41.420
put<00:52:39.820><c> that</c><00:52:40.139><c> into</c><00:52:40.380><c> action.</c>

00:52:41.619 --> 00:52:43.119
It's<00:52:41.920><c> awfully</c><00:52:42.380><c> difficult</c>

00:52:43.119 --> 00:52:46.219
and<00:52:43.699><c> he</c><00:52:43.880><c> took</c><00:52:44.219><c> six</c><00:52:44.860><c> brethren</c><00:52:45.179><c> with</c><00:52:45.400><c> him</c>

00:52:46.780 --> 00:52:47.880
to<00:52:47.219><c> be</c><00:52:47.400><c> witnesses</c>

00:52:47.880 --> 00:52:50.000
of<00:52:48.079><c> what</c><00:52:48.260><c> went</c><00:52:48.480><c> on.</c>

00:52:50.480 --> 00:52:52.159
Wasn't<00:52:50.699><c> easy,</c><00:52:51.099><c> you</c><00:52:51.159><c> see,</c><00:52:51.380><c> was</c><00:52:51.519><c> it?</c>

00:52:52.599 --> 00:52:53.820
But<00:52:52.820><c> he</c><00:52:53.000><c> went.</c>

00:52:54.380 --> 00:52:55.539
But<00:52:54.519><c> it</c><00:52:54.599><c> took</c><00:52:54.760><c> a</c><00:52:54.960><c> sheep</c><00:52:55.079><c> from</c><00:52:55.280><c> heaven.</c>

00:52:55.679 --> 00:52:57.420
It<00:52:55.739><c> took</c><00:52:55.880><c> the</c><00:52:56.099><c> voice</c><00:52:56.320><c> of</c><00:52:56.599><c> God.</c>

00:52:58.159 --> 00:52:59.719
It<00:52:58.219><c> took</c><00:52:58.400><c> those</c><00:52:58.699><c> three</c><00:52:58.960><c> men</c><00:52:59.119><c> to</c><00:52:59.340><c> come</c><00:52:59.460><c> to</c><00:52:59.599><c> him.</c>

00:52:59.800 --> 00:53:00.980
It<00:52:59.800><c> took</c><00:52:59.920><c> all</c><00:53:00.300><c> sorts</c><00:53:00.599><c> of</c><00:53:00.760><c> things.</c>

00:53:01.199 --> 00:53:03.480
It<00:53:01.280><c> took</c><00:53:01.460><c> the</c><00:53:01.760><c> Holy</c><00:53:02.059><c> Spirit</c><00:53:02.340><c> to</c><00:53:02.579><c> fall</c><00:53:02.719><c> upon</c><00:53:03.039><c> Cornelius</c>

00:53:03.480 --> 00:53:07.199
before<00:53:04.119><c> Peter</c><00:53:04.639><c> would</c><00:53:04.940><c> go</c><00:53:05.099><c> ahead</c><00:53:05.360><c> and</c><00:53:05.500><c> baptize</c><00:53:05.900><c> him.</c>

00:53:07.699 --> 00:53:09.360
Such<00:53:07.940><c> was</c><00:53:08.159><c> the</c><00:53:08.420><c> strength</c><00:53:08.639><c> brethren</c><00:53:08.960><c> and</c><00:53:09.239><c> sisters</c>

00:53:09.360 --> 00:53:12.420
of<00:53:09.539><c> the</c><00:53:09.780><c> prejudice</c><00:53:10.039><c> that</c><00:53:10.199><c> had</c><00:53:10.500><c> been</c><00:53:10.739><c> ingrained</c><00:53:11.239><c> in</c><00:53:11.420><c> him</c>

00:53:12.519 --> 00:53:13.400
from<00:53:12.960><c> childhood</c>

00:53:13.400 --> 00:53:15.300
and<00:53:13.840><c> from</c><00:53:14.019><c> his</c><00:53:14.280><c> forefathers</c><00:53:14.800><c> going</c><00:53:15.079><c> back</c>

00:53:15.300 --> 00:53:17.099
for<00:53:15.579><c> thousands</c><00:53:15.880><c> of</c><00:53:16.159><c> years.</c>

00:53:17.519 --> 00:53:19.659
But<00:53:17.679><c> he</c><00:53:17.860><c> believed</c><00:53:18.519><c> that</c><00:53:18.800><c> Jesus</c><00:53:19.239><c> Christ</c>

00:53:19.659 --> 00:53:20.920
was<00:53:19.900><c> the</c><00:53:20.340><c> Son</c>

00:53:20.920 --> 00:53:23.400
of<00:53:21.719><c> the</c><00:53:21.980><c> Living</c><00:53:22.280><c> God.</c>

00:53:24.280 --> 00:53:25.500
Sometimes<00:53:24.599><c> we</c><00:53:24.780><c> see</c><00:53:25.000><c> a</c><00:53:25.260><c> person</c>

00:53:25.500 --> 00:53:27.239
come<00:53:25.679><c> into</c><00:53:25.840><c> our</c><00:53:26.139><c> hall</c>

00:53:27.400 --> 00:53:29.019
they<00:53:27.820><c> stagger</c><00:53:28.079><c> in</c><00:53:28.340><c> sometimes</c>

00:53:29.019 --> 00:53:31.719
unkempt<00:53:29.920><c> in</c><00:53:30.019><c> their</c><00:53:30.980><c> being</c>

00:53:31.719 --> 00:53:33.280

00:53:41.059 --> 00:53:42.880
and<00:53:41.119><c> we</c><00:53:41.139><c> think</c><00:53:41.340><c> could</c><00:53:41.599><c> they</c><00:53:41.800><c> ever</c><00:53:42.059><c> become</c><00:53:42.320><c> a</c><00:53:42.440><c> Christ</c><00:53:42.619><c> of</c><00:53:42.659><c> Delphi?</c>

00:53:42.940 --> 00:53:44.500
Of<00:53:43.159><c> course</c><00:53:43.340><c> they</c><00:53:43.619><c> can!</c>

00:53:45.940 --> 00:53:46.800
There's<00:53:46.300><c> nothing</c>

as<01:01:07.280><c> the</c><01:01:07.460><c> great</c><01:01:07.719><c> foundation</c><01:01:08.300><c> stone</c>

01:01:08.599 --> 01:01:11.019
and<01:01:08.940><c> we</c><01:01:09.179><c> brothers</c><01:01:09.460><c> and</c><01:01:09.739><c> sisters</c><01:01:09.920><c> somewhere</c><01:01:10.380><c> in</c><01:01:10.599><c> that</c><01:01:10.780><c> edifice</c>

01:01:11.019 --> 01:01:13.440
will<01:01:11.219><c> find</c><01:01:11.420><c> a</c><01:01:11.559><c> little</c><01:01:11.719><c> place</c><01:01:11.980><c> for</c><01:01:12.159><c> us,</c><01:01:12.659><c> little</c><01:01:12.659><c> stones</c><01:01:12.980><c> somewhere</c>

01:01:13.440 --> 01:01:15.659
but<01:01:13.699><c> we're</c><01:01:13.900><c> not</c><01:01:14.119><c> like</c><01:01:14.380><c> them</c>

01:01:16.219 --> 01:01:18.139
they<01:01:16.820><c> were</c><01:01:17.139><c> clearly</c><01:01:17.639><c> related</c>

01:01:18.139 --> 01:01:19.219
especially<01:01:18.639><c> related</c>

01:01:19.219 --> 01:01:21.659
to<01:01:19.659><c> the</c><01:01:19.860><c> great</c><01:01:20.159><c> cornerstone</c><01:01:20.800><c> foundation</c>

01:01:21.659 --> 01:01:23.519
scripture<01:01:22.239><c> being</c><01:01:22.519><c> witnessed</c><01:01:22.880><c> everywhere</c>

01:01:23.519 --> 01:01:25.139
in<01:01:23.719><c> that</c><01:01:23.960><c> regard</c>

01:01:25.239 --> 01:01:27.559
now<01:01:25.840><c> Peter,</c><01:01:26.619><c> Petros</c>

01:01:27.980 --> 01:01:29.079
really<01:01:28.579><c> means</c>

01:01:29.079 --> 01:01:30.440
a<01:01:29.659><c> separable</c><01:01:30.079><c> stone</c>

01:01:30.440 --> 01:01:33.940
that<01:01:31.000><c> is</c><01:01:31.599><c> a</c><01:01:31.980><c> stone</c><01:01:32.199><c> which</c><01:01:32.559><c> is</c><01:01:33.139><c> separable</c><01:01:33.460><c> from</c><01:01:33.659><c> others</c>

01:01:33.940 --> 01:01:35.480
you<01:01:34.159><c> can</c><01:01:34.340><c> move</c><01:01:34.579><c> it</c>

01:01:35.480 --> 01:01:37.679
the<01:01:36.639><c> whole</c><01:01:36.820><c> idea</c><01:01:37.159><c> behind</c><01:01:37.460><c> the</c><01:01:37.639><c> grid</c>

01:01:37.679 --> 01:01:39.619
is<01:01:37.800><c> not</c><01:01:38.000><c> a</c><01:01:38.219><c> piece</c><01:01:38.420><c> of</c><01:01:38.599><c> rock</c><01:01:38.760><c> as</c><01:01:38.980><c> some</c><01:01:39.119><c> people</c><01:01:39.260><c> imagine</c>

01:01:39.619 --> 01:01:41.199
it's<01:01:40.280><c> a</c><01:01:40.559><c> separable</c><01:01:40.880><c> stone</c>

01:01:41.199 --> 01:01:43.059
so<01:01:41.519><c> it's</c><01:01:41.800><c> like</c><01:01:41.980><c> a</c><01:01:42.280><c> pile</c><01:01:42.559><c> of</c><01:01:42.760><c> rocks</c>

01:01:43.059 --> 01:01:45.679
you<01:01:43.440><c> can</c><01:01:43.579><c> go</c><01:01:43.679><c> to</c><01:01:43.880><c> a</c><01:01:44.059><c> pile</c><01:01:44.239><c> of</c><01:01:44.699><c> smaller</c><01:01:45.019><c> type</c><01:01:45.280><c> rocks</c>

01:01:45.679 --> 01:01:47.619
and<01:01:46.199><c> you</c><01:01:46.300><c> can</c><01:01:46.440><c> actually</c><01:01:46.679><c> move</c><01:01:47.000><c> one</c><01:01:47.219><c> away</c>

01:01:47.619 --> 01:01:49.400
that's<01:01:48.360><c> Peter</c>

01:01:49.539 --> 01:01:52.519
when<01:01:50.139><c> Jesus</c><01:01:50.559><c> called</c><01:01:50.860><c> him</c><01:01:51.219><c> Cephas</c>

01:01:52.599 --> 01:01:54.059
which<01:01:53.079><c> means</c><01:01:53.320><c> the</c><01:01:53.519><c> same</c><01:01:53.760><c> thing</c>

01:01:54.059 --> 01:01:55.940
that's<01:01:54.420><c> a</c><01:01:54.539><c> Hebrew</c><01:01:54.760><c> word</c>

01:01:56.019 --> 01:01:57.599
so<01:01:56.500><c> we</c><01:01:56.599><c> can</c><01:01:56.780><c> check</c><01:01:57.000><c> the</c><01:01:57.219><c> meaning</c>

01:01:57.599 --> 01:01:59.599
we<01:01:58.500><c> go</c><01:01:58.719><c> back</c><01:01:58.920><c> to</c><01:01:59.139><c> the</c><01:01:59.260><c> Hebrew</c>

01:01:59.599 --> 01:02:01.179
from<01:01:59.840><c> whence</c><01:02:00.059><c> that</c><01:02:00.119><c> is</c><01:02:00.340><c> taken</c>

01:02:02.500 --> 01:02:04.500
Cephas,<01:02:03.119><c> Greek</c><01:02:03.340><c> dress</c><01:02:03.539><c> of</c><01:02:03.820><c> Cephas</c>

01:02:04.500 --> 01:02:07.739
we<01:02:04.820><c> find</c><01:02:04.980><c> there's</c><01:02:05.099><c> only</c><01:02:05.300><c> two</c><01:02:05.639><c> references</c><01:02:06.019><c> to</c><01:02:06.300><c> it</c>

01:02:07.739 --> 01:02:09.199
in<01:02:08.159><c> Job</c><01:02:08.400><c> and</c><01:02:08.599><c> in</c><01:02:08.780><c> Jeremiah</c>

01:02:09.199 --> 01:02:10.320
and<01:02:09.559><c> in</c><01:02:09.719><c> both</c><01:02:09.920><c> cases</c>

01:02:10.320 --> 01:02:11.539
it's<01:02:10.639><c> a</c><01:02:10.739><c> pile</c><01:02:10.900><c> of</c><01:02:11.059><c> rocks</c>

01:02:11.539 --> 01:02:13.760
just<01:02:12.420><c> a</c><01:02:12.659><c> pile</c><01:02:12.840><c> of</c><01:02:12.980><c> rocks</c>

01:02:13.760 --> 01:02:16.480
a<01:02:14.400><c> pile</c><01:02:14.619><c> that</c><01:02:14.739><c> you</c><01:02:14.760><c> could</c><01:02:15.000><c> make</c><01:02:15.159><c> of</c><01:02:15.739><c> smaller</c><01:02:16.000><c> rocks</c>

01:02:16.480 --> 01:02:17.780
that's<01:02:16.960><c> Peter</c>

01:02:17.780 --> 01:02:19.940
the<01:02:18.639><c> Petra,</c><01:02:19.159><c> brothers</c><01:02:19.380><c> and</c><01:02:19.659><c> sisters</c>

01:02:19.940 --> 01:02:21.980
is<01:02:20.940><c> a</c><01:02:21.099><c> massive</c><01:02:21.519><c> rock</c>

01:02:21.980 --> 01:02:24.260
it's<01:02:22.860><c> a</c><01:02:23.059><c> mass</c><01:02:23.539><c> of</c><01:02:23.780><c> rock</c>

01:02:24.260 --> 01:02:26.320
you<01:02:24.760><c> don't</c><01:02:25.019><c> move</c><01:02:25.260><c> that</c><01:02:25.500><c> one</c>

01:02:26.320 --> 01:02:28.139
but<01:02:27.019><c> you</c><01:02:27.119><c> can</c><01:02:27.340><c> move</c><01:02:27.559><c> the</c><01:02:27.860><c> Peters</c>

01:02:28.139 --> 01:02:29.820
but<01:02:29.300><c> nonetheless</c>

01:02:29.820 --> 01:02:32.400
the<01:02:30.260><c> Peters</c><01:02:30.639><c> are</c><01:02:31.400><c> going</c><01:02:31.519><c> to</c><01:02:31.659><c> be</c><01:02:31.860><c> cemented</c>

01:02:32.400 --> 01:02:34.500
right<01:02:32.719><c> alongside</c><01:02:33.340><c> that</c><01:02:33.679><c> cornerstone</c>

01:02:34.800 --> 01:02:36.300
upon<01:02:35.440><c> the</c><01:02:35.679><c> foundation</c>

01:02:36.300 --> 01:02:39.239
of<01:02:37.559><c> Christ</c><01:02:38.019><c> and</c><01:02:38.320><c> the</c><01:02:38.519><c> Apostles</c>

01:02:39.239 --> 01:02:40.619
is<01:02:39.579><c> what</c><01:02:39.760><c> the</c><01:02:39.960><c> Scripture</c><01:02:40.159><c> says</c>

01:02:40.619 --> 01:02:41.980
so<01:02:41.199><c> when</c><01:02:41.360><c> he</c><01:02:41.539><c> said</c>

01:02:41.980 --> 01:02:43.860
you<01:02:42.739><c> believe</c><01:02:42.980><c> I</c><01:02:43.159><c> am</c><01:02:43.239><c> the</c><01:02:43.480><c> Christ</c>

01:02:43.860 --> 01:02:46.199
believe<01:02:44.360><c> me</c><01:02:44.679><c> when</c><01:02:44.820><c> you're</c><01:02:45.039><c> the</c><01:02:45.260><c> Peter</c>

01:02:46.380 --> 01:02:47.579
and<01:02:47.019><c> brothers</c><01:02:47.199><c> and</c><01:02:47.420><c> sisters</c>

01:02:47.579 --> 01:02:49.280
that's<01:02:47.760><c> a</c><01:02:47.980><c> wonderful</c><01:02:48.260><c> thing</c>

01:02:49.480 --> 01:02:51.500
and<01:02:50.000><c> then</c><01:02:50.159><c> Jesus,</c><01:02:50.500><c> and</c><01:02:50.579><c> I'm</c><01:02:50.719><c> going</c><01:02:50.800><c> to</c><01:02:50.900><c> conclude</c><01:02:51.179><c> with</c><01:02:51.360><c> this</c>

01:02:51.500 --> 01:02:52.639
this<01:02:51.639><c> is</c><01:02:51.760><c> not</c><01:02:51.860><c> the</c><01:02:52.000><c> finish</c><01:02:52.159><c> of</c><01:02:52.380><c> the</c><01:02:52.480><c> story</c>

01:02:52.639 --> 01:02:54.019
we'll<01:02:52.900><c> finish</c><01:02:53.059><c> it</c><01:02:53.239><c> next</c><01:02:53.480><c> time</c>

01:02:54.019 --> 01:02:56.460
then<01:02:54.940><c> Jesus</c><01:02:55.260><c> said</c>

01:02:56.500 --> 01:02:57.719
upon<01:02:57.019><c> this</c><01:02:57.360><c> rock</c>

01:02:57.719 --> 01:03:01.539
I<01:02:58.719><c> will</c><01:02:58.880><c> build</c><01:02:59.119><c> my</c><01:02:59.440><c> Ecclesia</c>

01:03:01.659 --> 01:03:04.539
do<01:03:02.179><c> you</c><01:03:02.280><c> know</c><01:03:02.380><c> that</c><01:03:02.679><c> literally</c><01:03:03.119><c> happened?</c>

01:03:05.320 --> 01:03:06.199
you<01:03:05.340><c> know</c><01:03:05.480><c> brothers</c><01:03:05.719><c> and</c><01:03:05.940><c> sisters</c>

01:03:06.199 --> 01:03:08.079

as<01:03:09.099><c> we</c><01:03:09.219><c> will</c><01:03:09.360><c> see</c><01:03:09.539><c> next</c><01:03:09.820><c> time</c>

01:03:10.019 --> 01:03:11.659
I'll<01:03:10.599><c> expound</c><01:03:10.920><c> a</c><01:03:11.039><c> little</c><01:03:11.179><c> deeper</c>

01:03:11.659 --> 01:03:13.659
is<01:03:12.199><c> the</c><01:03:12.480><c> first</c><01:03:12.880><c> time</c><01:03:13.239><c> ever</c>

01:03:13.659 --> 01:03:15.599
we<01:03:13.940><c> find</c><01:03:14.699><c> that</c><01:03:15.260><c> word</c>

01:03:15.599 --> 01:03:16.639

01:03:16.639 --> 01:03:18.679
isn't<01:03:17.340><c> that</c><01:03:17.539><c> incredible?</c>

01:03:19.219 --> 01:03:20.519
in<01:03:19.239><c> this</c><01:03:19.659><c> circumstance</c>

01:03:20.519 --> 01:03:22.579
that<01:03:21.280><c> word</c><01:03:21.519><c> comes</c><01:03:21.900><c> up</c>

01:03:22.579 --> 01:03:24.000
here<01:03:23.079><c> is</c><01:03:23.400><c> the</c><01:03:23.619><c> Ecclesia</c>

01:03:24.000 --> 01:03:25.199

01:03:26.460 --> 01:03:28.460
