00:11:25.899 --> 00:11:28.539
You<00:11:26.000><c> see,</c><00:11:26.240><c> he's</c><00:11:26.320><c> first</c><00:11:26.620><c> of</c><00:11:26.799><c> all</c><00:11:27.399><c> giving</c><00:11:27.639><c> us</c><00:11:27.899><c> this</c><00:11:28.100><c> picture</c><00:11:28.379><c> of</c>

00:11:32.379 --> 00:11:38.559
There<00:11:32.539><c> is</c><00:11:32.740><c> a</c><00:11:32.919><c> door</c><00:11:33.139><c> which</c><00:11:33.460><c> gives</c><00:11:33.879><c> access</c><00:11:34.879><c> to</c><00:11:36.299><c> the</c><00:11:37.000><c> sheep</c><00:11:37.200><c> to</c><00:11:37.519><c> come</c><00:11:37.840><c> in</c>

00:11:45.940 --> 00:11:49.679
So<00:11:46.500><c> it's</c><00:11:47.059><c> a</c><00:11:47.100><c> matter</c><00:11:47.279><c> of</c><00:11:47.440><c> both</c><00:11:47.639><c> going</c><00:11:48.039><c> in</c><00:11:48.360><c> and</c><00:11:48.620><c> out.</c>

00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:56.100
Christ<00:11:53.320><c> himself</c><00:11:53.879><c> says</c><00:11:54.299><c> that</c><00:11:54.659><c> he</c><00:11:54.799><c> is</c><00:11:55.019><c> the</c><00:11:55.179><c> door,</c>

00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:58.940
the<00:11:56.340><c> way</c><00:11:56.580><c> by</c><00:11:56.840><c> which</c><00:11:57.000><c> the</c><00:11:57.240><c> sheep</c><00:11:57.379><c> go</c><00:11:57.580><c> out</c><00:11:57.840><c> to</c><00:11:58.100><c> pasture,</c>

00:12:02.019 --> 00:12:05.720
Hence<00:12:02.379><c> the</c><00:12:02.580><c> door</c><00:12:02.899><c> is</c><00:12:03.299><c> that</c><00:12:03.580><c> through</c><00:12:03.879><c> which</c><00:12:04.340><c> the</c><00:12:04.860><c> whole</c><00:12:05.259><c> life</c>

00:12:13.419 --> 00:12:16.100

00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:24.899
Now<00:12:22.039><c> the</c><00:12:22.259><c> interesting</c><00:12:22.659><c> point</c><00:12:23.019><c> that</c><00:12:23.240><c> comes</c><00:12:23.539><c> here</c><00:12:23.879><c> is</c><00:12:24.360><c> that</c><00:12:24.759><c> as</c>

So<00:23:54.000><c> he</c><00:23:54.200><c> took</c><00:23:54.400><c> a</c><00:23:54.599><c> risk</c><00:23:54.799><c> in</c><00:23:55.039><c> doing</c><00:23:55.220><c> this.</c>

00:23:55.819 --> 00:23:57.720
But<00:23:56.619><c> being</c><00:23:56.920><c> a</c><00:23:57.099><c> good</c><00:23:57.319><c> shepherd,</c>

00:23:58.180 --> 00:23:59.859
he<00:23:58.319><c> was</c><00:23:58.599><c> willing,</c><00:23:58.960><c> if</c><00:23:59.259><c> necessary,</c>

00:24:00.299 --> 00:24:03.279
to<00:24:00.420><c> lay</c><00:24:00.640><c> down</c><00:24:00.839><c> his</c><00:24:01.160><c> life</c><00:24:01.480><c> to</c><00:24:01.759><c> protect</c><00:24:02.319><c> those</c><00:24:02.839><c> sheep.</c>

00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:05.799
So<00:24:03.779><c> he</c><00:24:04.200><c> lay</c><00:24:04.480><c> there</c><00:24:04.660><c> in</c><00:24:04.819><c> the</c><00:24:04.960><c> doorway</c>

00:24:05.819 --> 00:24:08.799
and<00:24:06.460><c> anyone</c><00:24:06.779><c> coming</c><00:24:07.140><c> in</c><00:24:07.500><c> to</c><00:24:07.700><c> attack</c><00:24:08.059><c> those</c><00:24:08.400><c> sheep</c>

00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:11.220
would<00:24:09.180><c> have</c><00:24:09.420><c> to</c><00:24:09.579><c> get</c><00:24:09.819><c> past</c><00:24:10.180><c> him.</c>

00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:13.240
That's<00:24:12.039><c> the</c><00:24:12.160><c> good</c><00:24:12.339><c> shepherd.</c>

00:24:13.839 --> 00:24:17.359
But<00:24:14.019><c> he</c><00:24:14.220><c> immediately</c><00:24:14.579><c> makes</c><00:24:14.859><c> a</c><00:24:15.140><c> contrast</c><00:24:15.619><c> in</c><00:24:15.839><c> verse</c><00:24:16.140><c> 12.</c>

00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:20.200
But<00:24:17.859><c> he</c><00:24:18.220><c> that</c><00:24:18.380><c> is</c><00:24:18.799><c> an</c><00:24:19.079><c> hireling</c>

00:24:37.140 --> 00:24:39.119
because<00:24:37.619><c> he</c><00:24:38.019><c> isn't</c><00:24:38.359><c> hireling</c>

00:24:42.180 --> 00:24:44.200
Now<00:24:42.640><c> the</c><00:24:42.759><c> most</c><00:24:43.079><c> challenging</c><00:24:43.579><c> exhortation</c>

00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:45.559
which<00:24:44.420><c> comes</c><00:24:44.660><c> to</c><00:24:44.819><c> us</c><00:24:45.000><c> this</c><00:24:45.240><c> morning</c>

00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:47.440
is<00:24:46.400><c> who</c><00:24:46.599><c> are</c><00:24:46.779><c> the</c><00:24:46.960><c> hirelings.</c>

00:24:47.900 --> 00:24:49.759
And<00:24:48.200><c> it's</c><00:24:48.380><c> not</c><00:24:48.539><c> a</c><00:24:48.619><c> matter</c><00:24:48.779><c> of</c><00:24:48.900><c> looking</c><00:24:49.140><c> around</c><00:24:49.460><c> and</c><00:24:49.640><c> saying,</c>

00:24:49.859 --> 00:24:51.660
well,<00:24:49.920><c> you</c><00:24:50.019><c> know,</c><00:24:50.140><c> I</c><00:24:50.380><c> don't</c><00:24:50.579><c> see</c><00:24:50.799><c> this</c><00:24:51.059><c> brother</c><00:24:51.220><c> or</c><00:24:51.420><c> sister</c>

00:24:51.660 --> 00:24:52.720
at<00:24:51.819><c> the</c><00:24:51.960><c> meetings</c><00:24:52.180><c> very</c><00:24:52.539><c> much</c>

00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:54.099
and<00:24:53.059><c> when</c><00:24:53.299><c> they</c><00:24:53.460><c> do</c><00:24:53.619><c> come</c><00:24:53.859><c> along</c>

00:24:54.099 --> 00:24:56.180
they<00:24:54.279><c> don't</c><00:24:54.519><c> seem</c><00:24:54.660><c> to</c><00:24:54.779><c> be</c><00:24:54.839><c> able</c><00:24:54.960><c> to</c><00:24:55.099><c> talk</c><00:24:55.220><c> much</c><00:24:55.460><c> about</c><00:24:55.720><c> the</c><00:24:55.960><c> truth.</c>

00:24:56.480 --> 00:24:56.960
Fine.

00:24:57.460 --> 00:24:59.500
Maybe<00:24:57.940><c> they've</c><00:24:58.339><c> got</c><00:24:58.500><c> a</c><00:24:58.660><c> problem.</c>

00:24:59.579 --> 00:25:01.740
But<00:24:59.720><c> let's</c><00:24:59.960><c> start</c><00:25:00.240><c> looking</c><00:25:00.579><c> inwardly.</c>

00:25:02.099 --> 00:25:05.019
Am<00:25:02.279><c> I</c><00:25:02.539><c> prepared</c><00:25:02.900><c> to</c><00:25:03.180><c> give</c><00:25:03.420><c> my</c><00:25:03.940><c> life</c><00:25:04.339><c> for</c><00:25:04.579><c> the</c><00:25:04.819><c> sheep?</c>

00:25:05.240 --> 00:25:06.539
In<00:25:05.460><c> other</c><00:25:05.720><c> words,</c>

00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:10.119
is<00:25:06.799><c> my</c><00:25:07.079><c> life</c><00:25:07.279><c> really</c><00:25:07.740><c> totally</c><00:25:08.480><c> involved</c><00:25:08.960><c> in</c><00:25:09.099><c> the</c><00:25:09.339><c> truth?</c>

00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:12.460
Oh,<00:25:11.200><c> I</c><00:25:11.299><c> know</c><00:25:11.380><c> we've</c><00:25:11.619><c> all</c><00:25:11.759><c> got</c><00:25:11.900><c> our</c><00:25:12.099><c> weaknesses.</c>

00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:14.660
We've<00:25:13.019><c> all</c><00:25:13.160><c> got</c><00:25:13.299><c> to</c><00:25:13.460><c> go</c><00:25:13.579><c> to</c><00:25:13.779><c> work.</c>

00:25:15.140 --> 00:25:16.519
But<00:25:15.240><c> as</c><00:25:15.460><c> Paul</c><00:25:15.619><c> would</c><00:25:15.799><c> say</c><00:25:15.980><c> in</c><00:25:16.140><c> Ephesians,</c>

00:25:16.700 --> 00:25:19.259
even<00:25:16.839><c> going</c><00:25:17.099><c> to</c><00:25:17.359><c> work</c><00:25:17.559><c> you</c><00:25:17.819><c> serve</c><00:25:18.059><c> your</c><00:25:18.539><c> earthly</c><00:25:18.720><c> master</c>

00:25:19.259 --> 00:25:20.299
as<00:25:19.680><c> though</c><00:25:19.859><c> it</c><00:25:19.960><c> were</c><00:25:20.079><c> Christ.</c>

00:25:20.660 --> 00:25:22.920
Can<00:25:20.980><c> we</c><00:25:21.339><c> really</c><00:25:21.779><c> honestly</c><00:25:22.140><c> say</c><00:25:22.420><c> in</c><00:25:22.599><c> our</c><00:25:22.759><c> hearts</c>

00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:24.559
that<00:25:23.059><c> with</c><00:25:23.299><c> our</c><00:25:23.619><c> minds</c>

00:25:24.779 --> 00:25:27.940
we<00:25:25.220><c> want</c><00:25:25.519><c> the</c><00:25:25.799><c> truth</c><00:25:25.920><c> to</c><00:25:26.099><c> be</c><00:25:26.319><c> all</c><00:25:26.640><c> of</c><00:25:26.779><c> our</c><00:25:26.980><c> life</c>

00:25:28.039 --> 00:25:29.700
not<00:25:28.480><c> just</c><00:25:28.920><c> a</c><00:25:29.140><c> part</c><00:25:29.319><c> of</c><00:25:29.420><c> it.</c>

00:25:29.900 --> 00:25:32.539
I<00:25:29.920><c> think</c><00:25:30.079><c> this</c><00:25:30.319><c> is</c><00:25:30.500><c> one</c><00:25:30.660><c> of</c><00:25:30.759><c> the</c><00:25:30.839><c> reasons</c><00:25:31.180><c> why</c><00:25:31.480><c> these</c><00:25:31.740><c> people</c>

00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:35.299
in<00:25:33.039><c> what</c><00:25:33.480><c> we</c><00:25:33.660><c> might</c><00:25:33.799><c> call</c><00:25:34.019><c> the</c><00:25:34.240><c> third</c><00:25:34.440><c> world</c><00:25:34.700><c> countries</c>

00:25:35.299 --> 00:25:37.619
can<00:25:35.859><c> see</c><00:25:36.059><c> the</c><00:25:36.279><c> truth</c><00:25:36.440><c> in</c><00:25:36.700><c> such</c><00:25:36.900><c> simplicity.</c>

00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:40.079
They<00:25:37.859><c> haven't</c><00:25:38.119><c> got</c><00:25:38.380><c> anything</c><00:25:38.700><c> else</c><00:25:38.980><c> in</c><00:25:39.200><c> life.</c>

00:25:40.420 --> 00:25:41.900
They<00:25:40.680><c> consider</c><00:25:41.079><c> it</c><00:25:41.319><c> a</c><00:25:41.380><c> great</c><00:25:41.519><c> blessing</c>

00:25:41.900 --> 00:25:43.240
just<00:25:42.099><c> to</c><00:25:42.279><c> even</c><00:25:42.480><c> have</c><00:25:42.640><c> some</c><00:25:42.940><c> food.</c>

00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:45.420
Therefore<00:25:43.779><c> to</c><00:25:43.920><c> them</c><00:25:44.140><c> the</c><00:25:44.460><c> truth</c><00:25:44.700><c> is</c><00:25:45.099><c> everything</c>

00:25:45.420 --> 00:25:47.519
and<00:25:45.619><c> the</c><00:25:45.799><c> coming</c><00:25:45.980><c> of</c><00:25:46.200><c> Christ</c><00:25:46.460><c> is</c><00:25:46.680><c> everything.</c>

00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:49.420
But<00:25:47.819><c> you</c><00:25:47.920><c> know,</c><00:25:48.079><c> the</c><00:25:48.180><c> moment</c><00:25:48.440><c> we</c><00:25:48.680><c> walk</c><00:25:48.900><c> out</c><00:25:49.099><c> of</c><00:25:49.279><c> here</c>

00:25:49.420 --> 00:25:51.259
and<00:25:49.599><c> we</c><00:25:49.839><c> start</c><00:25:50.000><c> up</c><00:25:50.160><c> our</c><00:25:50.400><c> car</c><00:25:50.640><c> and</c><00:25:50.799><c> we</c><00:25:50.940><c> think,</c>

00:25:51.259 --> 00:25:53.160
oh,<00:25:51.680><c> I</c><00:25:51.779><c> can</c><00:25:51.960><c> hear</c><00:25:52.019><c> that</c><00:25:52.200><c> little</c><00:25:52.460><c> knock</c><00:25:52.640><c> in</c><00:25:52.799><c> the</c><00:25:53.019><c> engine.</c>

00:25:53.220 --> 00:25:55.640
I<00:25:53.279><c> must</c><00:25:53.420><c> put</c><00:25:53.579><c> that</c><00:25:53.759><c> in</c><00:25:53.920><c> tomorrow</c><00:25:54.220><c> to</c><00:25:54.420><c> get</c><00:25:54.519><c> it</c><00:25:54.799><c> serviced.</c>

00:25:56.059 --> 00:26:00.259
You<00:25:56.259><c> know,</c><00:25:56.640><c> all</c><00:25:56.960><c> of</c><00:25:57.140><c> these</c><00:25:57.299><c> little</c><00:25:57.599><c> things</c><00:25:58.079><c> become</c><00:25:58.680><c> big</c><00:25:58.960><c> issues.</c>

00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:02.799
I<00:26:01.039><c> might</c><00:26:01.220><c> say</c><00:26:01.339><c> if</c><00:26:01.460><c> we</c><00:26:01.559><c> didn't</c><00:26:01.839><c> have</c><00:26:02.079><c> some</c><00:26:02.319><c> of</c><00:26:02.420><c> those</c><00:26:02.640><c> things</c>

00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:03.880
we<00:26:02.940><c> wouldn't</c><00:26:03.160><c> have</c><00:26:03.400><c> those</c><00:26:03.660><c> problems.</c>

00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:06.339
But<00:26:04.059><c> we've</c><00:26:04.359><c> got</c><00:26:04.519><c> them</c><00:26:04.819><c> and</c><00:26:05.200><c> the</c><00:26:05.400><c> Father</c><00:26:05.619><c> knows</c><00:26:05.920><c> it.</c>

00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:07.460
It's<00:26:06.940><c> no</c><00:26:07.079><c> good</c><00:26:07.279><c> saying,</c>

00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:09.440
well<00:26:07.640><c> look,</c><00:26:07.859><c> let's</c><00:26:08.119><c> get</c><00:26:08.339><c> outside</c><00:26:08.700><c> of</c><00:26:08.859><c> this</c><00:26:09.000><c> society</c>

00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:11.140
and<00:26:09.680><c> do</c><00:26:09.799><c> something</c><00:26:10.099><c> different.</c>

00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:14.119
Might<00:26:11.759><c> we</c><00:26:11.960><c> suggest</c><00:26:12.339><c> that</c><00:26:12.460><c> with</c><00:26:12.640><c> all</c><00:26:12.799><c> the</c><00:26:12.980><c> blessings</c><00:26:13.380><c> we've</c><00:26:13.740><c> got</c>

00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:17.680
in<00:26:14.619><c> the</c><00:26:14.799><c> availability</c><00:26:15.279><c> of</c><00:26:15.779><c> study</c><00:26:16.059><c> aids</c><00:26:16.240><c> and</c><00:26:16.400><c> that</c><00:26:16.579><c> sort</c><00:26:16.740><c> of</c><00:26:16.880><c> thing</c>

00:26:18.099 --> 00:26:20.819
it's<00:26:18.500><c> counterbalanced</c><00:26:18.900><c> by</c><00:26:19.759><c> all</c><00:26:20.119><c> of</c><00:26:20.279><c> the</c><00:26:20.480><c> weights</c>

00:26:20.819 --> 00:26:23.539
and<00:26:21.019><c> the</c><00:26:21.220><c> burdens</c><00:26:21.599><c> that</c><00:26:21.799><c> we</c><00:26:21.920><c> have</c><00:26:22.119><c> to</c><00:26:22.579><c> take</c><00:26:22.960><c> with</c><00:26:23.200><c> us</c>

00:26:23.539 --> 00:26:25.079
and<00:26:23.799><c> that</c><00:26:23.920><c> is</c><00:26:24.099><c> this</c><00:26:24.259><c> modern</c><00:26:24.539><c> society.</c>

00:26:25.359 --> 00:26:27.220
Now<00:26:25.599><c> in</c><00:26:25.859><c> that</c><00:26:26.160><c> context</c><00:26:26.640><c> therefore</c>

00:26:27.220 --> 00:26:29.940
I<00:26:28.039><c> think</c><00:26:28.220><c> there's</c><00:26:28.440><c> a</c><00:26:28.599><c> challenge</c><00:26:28.960><c> that</c><00:26:29.200><c> not</c><00:26:29.420><c> all</c><00:26:29.619><c> of</c><00:26:29.740><c> us</c>

00:26:29.940 --> 00:26:32.200
can<00:26:30.160><c> at</c><00:26:30.380><c> times</c><00:26:30.579><c> feel</c><00:26:30.960><c> that</c><00:26:31.380><c> our</c><00:26:31.640><c> whole</c><00:26:31.940><c> life</c>

00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:33.960
is<00:26:32.539><c> really</c><00:26:32.900><c> centered</c><00:26:33.180><c> in</c><00:26:33.400><c> the</c><00:26:33.599><c> truth.</c>

00:26:34.460 --> 00:26:37.319
And<00:26:34.759><c> consequently</c><00:26:35.160><c> when</c><00:26:35.440><c> the</c><00:26:35.680><c> Ecclesia</c><00:26:36.079><c> needs</c><00:26:36.400><c> us</c>

00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:40.180
well<00:26:38.680><c> we</c><00:26:39.200><c> might</c><00:26:39.460><c> be</c><00:26:39.660><c> there</c><00:26:39.859><c> bodily</c>

00:26:40.180 --> 00:26:41.880
but<00:26:40.400><c> we're</c><00:26:40.539><c> not</c><00:26:40.700><c> there</c><00:26:40.859><c> mentally.</c>

00:26:41.900 --> 00:26:44.359
And<00:26:42.140><c> some</c><00:26:42.259><c> of</c><00:26:42.400><c> us</c><00:26:42.519><c> may</c><00:26:42.700><c> not</c><00:26:42.839><c> even</c><00:26:43.039><c> be</c><00:26:43.200><c> there</c><00:26:43.440><c> bodily.</c>

00:26:45.380 --> 00:26:48.740
Are<00:26:45.700><c> we</c><00:26:46.000><c> therefore</c><00:26:46.339><c> really</c><00:26:47.420><c> like</c><00:26:47.740><c> the</c><00:26:48.220><c> hyling</c>

00:26:48.740 --> 00:26:51.220
that<00:26:49.640><c> when</c><00:26:49.880><c> the</c><00:26:50.119><c> sheep</c><00:26:50.259><c> need</c><00:26:50.500><c> us</c><00:26:50.819><c> most</c>

00:26:51.220 --> 00:26:53.859
we're<00:26:51.779><c> just</c><00:26:52.140><c> not</c><00:26:52.779><c> there?</c>

00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:56.960
Every<00:26:54.880><c> one</c><00:26:55.039><c> of</c><00:26:55.160><c> us</c><00:26:55.279><c> has</c><00:26:55.539><c> the</c><00:26:55.819><c> responsibility</c><00:26:56.359><c> therefore</c>

00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:00.140
to<00:26:57.420><c> develop</c><00:26:57.759><c> these</c><00:26:58.480><c> shepherd</c><00:26:58.880><c> qualities.</c>

00:27:00.619 --> 00:27:03.619
And<00:27:00.799><c> so</c><00:27:01.220><c> in</c><00:27:01.900><c> taking</c><00:27:02.220><c> up</c><00:27:02.440><c> this</c><00:27:02.599><c> idea</c><00:27:02.880><c> of</c><00:27:03.079><c> the</c><00:27:03.259><c> hyling</c>

00:27:03.619 --> 00:27:06.440
I<00:27:04.380><c> would</c><00:27:04.619><c> say</c><00:27:04.759><c> that</c><00:27:04.980><c> the</c><00:27:05.099><c> Lord</c><00:27:05.299><c> had</c><00:27:05.519><c> in</c><00:27:05.779><c> mind</c>

00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:09.019
examples<00:27:07.259><c> found</c><00:27:07.539><c> in</c><00:27:07.740><c> other</c><00:27:07.940><c> parts</c><00:27:08.240><c> of</c><00:27:08.460><c> the</c><00:27:08.640><c> scripture</c>

00:27:09.019 --> 00:27:12.059
where<00:27:09.819><c> the</c><00:27:10.000><c> scripture</c><00:27:10.440><c> speaks</c><00:27:10.839><c> in</c><00:27:11.000><c> very</c><00:27:11.259><c> graphic</c><00:27:11.599><c> terms</c>

00:27:12.059 --> 00:27:15.079
about<00:27:12.559><c> the</c><00:27:13.000><c> responsibilities</c><00:27:13.660><c> of</c><00:27:14.079><c> shepherds</c>

00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:18.819
and<00:27:15.640><c> contrasts</c><00:27:16.500><c> it</c><00:27:16.579><c> with</c><00:27:16.740><c> those</c><00:27:17.039><c> that</c><00:27:17.220><c> could</c><00:27:17.480><c> only</c><00:27:17.819><c> be</c><00:27:18.079><c> called</c><00:27:18.279><c> hylings.</c>

00:27:19.099 --> 00:27:21.279
And<00:27:19.299><c> I</c><00:27:19.500><c> certainly</c><00:27:19.759><c> have</c><00:27:19.980><c> in</c><00:27:20.079><c> mind</c><00:27:20.339><c> the</c><00:27:20.539><c> words</c><00:27:20.660><c> we'd</c><00:27:20.960><c> like</c><00:27:21.059><c> to</c>

00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:22.200
turn<00:27:21.480><c> back</c><00:27:21.759><c> to</c>

00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:24.680
in<00:27:22.640><c> Ezekiel</c><00:27:23.119><c> chapter</c><00:27:23.559><c> 34.</c>

00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:28.339
Now<00:27:25.799><c> these</c><00:27:26.259><c> words</c><00:27:26.599><c> in</c><00:27:26.799><c> Ezekiel</c><00:27:27.299><c> chapter</c><00:27:27.619><c> 34</c>

00:27:28.339 --> 00:27:32.240
are<00:27:29.220><c> challenging</c><00:27:29.720><c> for</c><00:27:30.200><c> two</c><00:27:31.059><c> reasons.</c>

00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:36.400
The<00:27:33.819><c> first</c><00:27:34.160><c> is</c><00:27:34.519><c> that</c><00:27:34.920><c> it's</c><00:27:35.519><c> going</c><00:27:35.700><c> to</c><00:27:35.960><c> show</c><00:27:36.079><c> to</c><00:27:36.240><c> us</c>

00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:40.480
what<00:27:36.680><c> the</c><00:27:37.000><c> shepherds</c><00:27:37.319><c> were</c><00:27:37.559><c> like</c><00:27:38.059><c> in</c><00:27:38.819><c> Ezekiel's</c><00:27:39.619><c> day.</c>

00:27:40.920 --> 00:27:44.079
And<00:27:41.099><c> he's</c><00:27:41.240><c> going</c><00:27:41.420><c> to</c><00:27:41.720><c> describe</c><00:27:42.000><c> to</c><00:27:42.160><c> us</c><00:27:42.460><c> in</c><00:27:43.039><c> negative</c><00:27:43.480><c> terms</c>

00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:46.839
what<00:27:44.759><c> it</c><00:27:45.000><c> was</c><00:27:45.279><c> that</c><00:27:45.519><c> the</c><00:27:45.740><c> shepherds</c><00:27:46.079><c> didn't</c><00:27:46.440><c> do.</c>

00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:49.579
So<00:27:47.279><c> in</c><00:27:47.519><c> our</c><00:27:47.720><c> minds</c><00:27:47.900><c> we're</c><00:27:48.160><c> going</c><00:27:48.279><c> to</c><00:27:48.400><c> have</c><00:27:48.539><c> to</c><00:27:48.740><c> invert</c><00:27:49.039><c> it</c><00:27:49.240><c> and</c><00:27:49.400><c> say</c>

00:27:49.579 --> 00:27:53.119
this<00:27:50.079><c> is</c><00:27:50.339><c> what</c><00:27:50.460><c> a</c><00:27:50.680><c> good</c><00:27:50.859><c> shepherd</c><00:27:51.259><c> should</c><00:27:51.940><c> do.</c>

00:27:54.099 --> 00:27:55.640
But<00:27:54.200><c> just</c><00:27:54.480><c> before</c><00:27:54.740><c> we</c><00:27:54.980><c> read</c><00:27:55.180><c> these</c><00:27:55.480><c> things</c>

00:27:55.640 --> 00:27:57.240
let's<00:27:55.920><c> ask</c><00:27:56.200><c> ourselves</c><00:27:56.539><c> the</c><00:27:56.799><c> question</c>

00:27:57.240 --> 00:27:59.920
what<00:27:57.819><c> do</c><00:27:57.980><c> we</c><00:27:58.079><c> know</c><00:27:58.220><c> about</c><00:27:58.420><c> the</c><00:27:58.599><c> book</c><00:27:58.740><c> of</c><00:27:58.920><c> Ezekiel?</c>

00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:04.900
The<00:28:01.819><c> book</c><00:28:02.019><c> of</c><00:28:02.220><c> Ezekiel</c><00:28:02.619><c> is</c><00:28:02.819><c> all</c><00:28:03.039><c> about</c><00:28:03.299><c> the</c><00:28:03.559><c> glory</c><00:28:03.839><c> of</c><00:28:04.119><c> God.</c>

00:28:05.279 --> 00:28:08.380
It<00:28:05.480><c> can</c><00:28:05.640><c> be</c><00:28:05.799><c> very</c><00:28:06.180><c> readily</c><00:28:06.519><c> and</c><00:28:06.920><c> is</c><00:28:07.279><c> actually</c><00:28:07.680><c> divided</c><00:28:08.079><c> into</c>

00:28:08.380 --> 00:28:09.220
five<00:28:08.700><c> sections.</c>

00:28:09.220 --> 00:28:13.960
You've<00:28:10.319><c> got</c><00:28:10.480><c> your</c><00:28:10.640><c> first</c><00:28:10.920><c> three</c><00:28:11.240><c> chapters</c><00:28:11.640><c> where</c><00:28:11.960><c> the</c><00:28:12.339><c> glory</c><00:28:12.759><c> appears.</c>

00:28:14.759 --> 00:28:17.059

00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:42.960
You<00:31:41.339><c> eat</c><00:31:41.599><c> the</c><00:31:41.859><c> fat,</c>

00:31:43.200 --> 00:31:45.000

00:31:51.819 --> 00:31:54.660
Now<00:31:52.180><c> one</c><00:31:52.480><c> word</c><00:31:52.859><c> summarises</c><00:31:53.460><c> all</c><00:31:53.680><c> of</c><00:31:53.859><c> that,</c>

00:31:55.579 --> 00:31:56.680
selfishness.

00:31:57.180 --> 00:32:00.740
And<00:31:57.539><c> isn't</c><00:31:57.839><c> that</c><00:31:58.240><c> the</c><00:31:58.480><c> epitome</c><00:31:58.859><c> of</c><00:31:59.059><c> the</c><00:31:59.240><c> age</c><00:31:59.440><c> in</c><00:31:59.579><c> which</c><00:31:59.720><c> we</c><00:31:59.960><c> live?</c>

00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:02.920
We've<00:32:01.160><c> said</c><00:32:01.259><c> in</c><00:32:01.380><c> some</c><00:32:01.559><c> of</c><00:32:01.700><c> our</c><00:32:01.859><c> studies</c><00:32:02.119><c> during</c><00:32:02.480><c> the</c><00:32:02.660><c> week,</c>

00:32:03.279 --> 00:32:05.519
I<00:32:03.400><c> think</c><00:32:03.559><c> it</c><00:32:03.680><c> would</c><00:32:03.799><c> be</c><00:32:04.019><c> a</c><00:32:04.140><c> very</c><00:32:04.440><c> appropriate</c><00:32:04.880><c> thing</c><00:32:05.079><c> to</c><00:32:05.319><c> say,</c>

00:32:05.839 --> 00:32:07.839
what's<00:32:06.180><c> our</c><00:32:06.359><c> definition</c><00:32:06.759><c> of</c><00:32:07.079><c> sin?</c>

00:32:08.220 --> 00:32:10.200
Sin<00:32:08.400><c> is</c><00:32:08.759><c> selfishness.</c>

00:32:10.460 --> 00:32:12.799
The<00:32:10.859><c> society</c><00:32:11.539><c> in</c><00:32:11.819><c> which</c><00:32:12.039><c> we</c><00:32:12.359><c> live,</c>

talking<00:32:13.480><c> about</c><00:32:13.839><c> that</c><00:32:14.119><c> world</c><00:32:14.400><c> out</c><00:32:14.680><c> there,</c>

00:32:17.599 --> 00:32:20.400

00:32:20.759 --> 00:32:23.160

00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:25.440
The<00:32:23.619><c> whole</c><00:32:23.900><c> advertising</c><00:32:24.559><c> world</c><00:32:25.019><c> says,</c>

00:32:25.839 --> 00:32:27.119
you<00:32:25.920><c> need</c><00:32:26.200><c> more</c><00:32:26.579><c> of</c><00:32:26.819><c> this,</c>

00:32:27.380 --> 00:32:28.900
you<00:32:27.539><c> need</c><00:32:27.740><c> a</c><00:32:27.940><c> different</c><00:32:28.200><c> one</c><00:32:28.400><c> of</c><00:32:28.599><c> those,</c>

00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:31.180

00:32:31.740 --> 00:32:32.799
So<00:32:31.980><c> everything</c><00:32:32.339><c> is</c><00:32:32.579><c> telling</c><00:32:32.700><c> you,</c>

00:32:43.400 --> 00:32:45.859
And<00:32:43.779><c> we're</c><00:32:43.940><c> getting</c><00:32:44.079><c> words</c><00:32:44.480><c> like</c><00:32:44.900><c> pamper</c><00:32:45.359><c> yourself,</c>

00:40:21.920 --> 00:40:24.260
He's<00:40:22.500><c> talking</c><00:40:22.800><c> about</c><00:40:23.079><c> his</c><00:40:23.380><c> flock,</c>

00:40:24.400 --> 00:40:27.679
and<00:40:24.460><c> it's</c><00:40:24.800><c> set</c><00:40:24.900><c> in</c><00:40:25.079><c> the</c><00:40:25.340><c> context</c><00:40:25.800><c> of</c><00:40:26.039><c> the</c><00:40:26.219><c> events</c><00:40:26.619><c> just</c><00:40:27.460><c> prior</c>

00:40:27.679 --> 00:40:29.340
to<00:40:27.820><c> the</c><00:40:27.940><c> coming</c><00:40:28.119><c> of</c><00:40:28.300><c> the</c><00:40:28.380><c> Lord</c><00:40:28.539><c> Jesus</c><00:40:28.980><c> Christ.</c>

00:40:29.739 --> 00:40:32.500
I<00:40:30.059><c> think</c><00:40:30.360><c> very</c><00:40:31.039><c> worrying</c><00:40:31.400><c> indeed.</c>

00:40:32.760 --> 00:40:35.500
But<00:40:33.039><c> let's</c><00:40:33.440><c> put</c><00:40:33.619><c> the</c><00:40:33.860><c> negative</c><00:40:34.159><c> side</c><00:40:34.579><c> apart.</c>

00:40:35.539 --> 00:40:39.500
Yes,<00:40:35.820><c> it</c><00:40:36.400><c> needs</c><00:40:36.699><c> to</c><00:40:36.940><c> worry</c><00:40:37.099><c> us,</c><00:40:37.820><c> but</c><00:40:38.079><c> the</c><00:40:38.340><c> answer</c><00:40:38.599><c> is</c><00:40:38.780><c> very</c><00:40:39.099><c> simple.</c>

00:40:39.639 --> 00:40:41.800
The<00:40:39.820><c> answer</c><00:40:40.079><c> is</c><00:40:40.400><c> extremely</c><00:40:40.760><c> simple.</c>

00:40:42.119 --> 00:40:45.480
Study<00:40:42.599><c> weekends</c><00:40:43.019><c> like</c><00:40:43.300><c> this</c><00:40:43.519><c> send</c><00:40:43.760><c> us</c><00:40:44.019><c> away</c><00:40:44.219><c> with</c><00:40:44.440><c> a</c><00:40:44.619><c> determination</c><00:40:45.179><c> more</c>

00:40:45.480 --> 00:40:46.179
than<00:40:45.679><c> ever</c>

00:40:48.260 --> 00:40:49.480
But<00:40:48.420><c> why?</c>

00:40:49.820 --> 00:40:52.000
So<00:40:50.039><c> that</c><00:40:50.239><c> I</c><00:40:50.320><c> can</c><00:40:50.559><c> feed</c><00:40:50.820><c> myself?</c>

00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:54.420
Well,<00:40:52.699><c> yes,</c><00:40:53.039><c> that's</c><00:40:53.360><c> important.</c>

00:40:54.619 --> 00:40:57.699
But<00:40:54.800><c> in</c><00:40:55.079><c> feeding</c><00:40:55.280><c> myself</c><00:40:55.719><c> I</c><00:40:55.940><c> become</c><00:40:56.239><c> so</c><00:40:56.559><c> enthused</c><00:40:56.920><c> I've</c><00:40:57.420><c> just</c>

00:40:57.699 --> 00:40:59.099
got<00:40:57.840><c> to</c><00:40:58.039><c> talk</c><00:40:58.219><c> about</c><00:40:58.480><c> it</c><00:40:58.599><c> to</c><00:40:58.780><c> others,</c>

00:40:59.519 --> 00:41:02.260
because<00:40:59.820><c> out</c><00:41:00.059><c> of</c><00:41:00.199><c> the</c><00:41:00.400><c> abundance</c><00:41:00.679><c> of</c><00:41:00.920><c> the</c><00:41:01.079><c> heart</c><00:41:01.219><c> the</c><00:41:01.400><c> mouth</c><00:41:01.659><c> speaks.</c>

00:41:02.760 --> 00:41:06.860
And<00:41:03.079><c> in</c><00:41:03.199><c> so</c><00:41:03.460><c> doing</c><00:41:03.699><c> we</c><00:41:03.920><c> are</c><00:41:04.420><c> leading</c><00:41:04.820><c> others</c><00:41:05.280><c> out</c><00:41:05.739><c> to</c><00:41:05.980><c> pasture.</c>

00:41:08.039 --> 00:41:09.840
Some<00:41:08.239><c> people</c><00:41:08.480><c> are</c><00:41:08.719><c> frightened</c><00:41:08.940><c> by</c><00:41:09.139><c> the</c><00:41:09.300><c> word</c><00:41:09.500><c> study.</c>

00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:13.360
They<00:41:10.099><c> think</c><00:41:10.320><c> the</c><00:41:10.480><c> word</c><00:41:10.679><c> study</c><00:41:10.980><c> is</c><00:41:11.219><c> only</c><00:41:11.500><c> for,</c><00:41:12.239><c> quote,</c><00:41:12.599><c> intellectuals.</c>

00:41:13.739 --> 00:41:17.880
No,<00:41:14.380><c> study</c><00:41:14.699><c> means</c><00:41:15.320><c> giving</c><00:41:15.840><c> our</c><00:41:16.360><c> time</c><00:41:16.719><c> to</c><00:41:17.019><c> something.</c>

00:41:18.059 --> 00:41:21.500
Yes,<00:41:18.619><c> different</c><00:41:18.960><c> ones</c><00:41:19.199><c> of</c><00:41:19.320><c> us</c><00:41:19.539><c> can</c><00:41:19.760><c> go</c><00:41:20.039><c> to</c><00:41:20.559><c> varying</c><00:41:20.980><c> depths,</c>

00:41:21.559 --> 00:41:25.719
but<00:41:21.960><c> I</c><00:41:22.199><c> don't</c><00:41:22.480><c> think</c><00:41:22.699><c> that</c><00:41:22.880><c> it's</c><00:41:23.019><c> so</c><00:41:23.300><c> much</c><00:41:23.539><c> the</c><00:41:23.980><c> depth</c><00:41:24.320><c> of</c><00:41:24.579><c> Bible</c><00:41:24.940><c> study</c><00:41:25.239><c> we</c><00:41:25.500><c> do,</c>

00:41:25.840 --> 00:41:28.159
it's<00:41:26.179><c> the</c><00:41:26.380><c> amount</c><00:41:26.699><c> we</c><00:41:26.960><c> do,</c><00:41:27.340><c> the</c><00:41:27.539><c> breadth</c><00:41:27.760><c> we</c><00:41:28.000><c> do.</c>

00:41:28.320 --> 00:41:31.340
Oh<00:41:28.639><c> yes,</c><00:41:28.880><c> let's</c><00:41:29.219><c> go</c><00:41:29.460><c> as</c><00:41:29.739><c> deep</c><00:41:29.940><c> as</c><00:41:30.139><c> we</c><00:41:30.400><c> can.</c>

00:41:32.019 --> 00:41:34.360
But<00:41:32.179><c> it's</c><00:41:32.360><c> not</c><00:41:32.539><c> just</c><00:41:32.760><c> a</c><00:41:32.840><c> matter</c><00:41:33.039><c> of</c><00:41:33.239><c> doing</c><00:41:33.400><c> a</c><00:41:33.619><c> deep</c><00:41:33.820><c> study</c><00:41:34.099><c> once</c>

00:41:34.360 --> 00:41:36.880

00:41:36.960 --> 00:41:40.260
It's<00:41:37.420><c> a</c><00:41:37.500><c> matter</c><00:41:37.719><c> of</c><00:41:38.179><c> little</c><00:41:38.699><c> and</c><00:41:39.440><c> often.</c>

00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:42.840
Brother<00:41:40.639><c> Roberts</c><00:41:40.960><c> with</c><00:41:41.199><c> his</c><00:41:41.579><c> suggestion</c><00:41:42.039><c> of</c><00:41:42.340><c> daily</c><00:41:42.519><c> readings.</c>

00:41:43.059 --> 00:41:46.460
I<00:41:43.219><c> always</c><00:41:43.400><c> like</c><00:41:43.539><c> to</c><00:41:43.739><c> think</c><00:41:43.900><c> that</c><00:41:44.099><c> we</c><00:41:44.239><c> should</c><00:41:44.340><c> be</c><00:41:44.460><c> doing</c><00:41:44.639><c> basically</c><00:41:45.179><c> three</c><00:41:45.500><c> things.</c>

00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:49.380
The<00:41:47.260><c> daily</c><00:41:47.559><c> reading</c><00:41:47.800><c> of</c><00:41:47.960><c> the</c><00:41:48.119><c> scripture</c><00:41:48.340><c> gives</c><00:41:48.619><c> us</c><00:41:48.920><c> that</c>

00:41:49.380 --> 00:41:51.420
general<00:41:49.940><c> overall</c><00:41:50.480><c> picture.</c>

00:41:51.719 --> 00:41:54.940
I<00:41:51.840><c> think</c><00:41:52.000><c> we</c><00:41:52.159><c> should</c><00:41:52.360><c> also</c><00:41:52.719><c> each</c><00:41:53.059><c> one</c><00:41:53.199><c> have</c><00:41:53.340><c> a</c><00:41:53.739><c> personal</c><00:41:54.300><c> Bible</c>

00:41:56.340 --> 00:41:59.239

00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:02.039
Not<00:41:59.659><c> just</c><00:41:59.920><c> because</c><00:42:00.219><c> we've</c><00:42:00.539><c> got</c><00:42:00.619><c> to</c><00:42:00.800><c> deliver</c><00:42:01.039><c> it</c><00:42:01.199><c> at</c><00:42:01.360><c> Bible</c><00:42:01.699><c> class.</c>

00:42:04.059 --> 00:42:07.119
It<00:42:04.719><c> might</c><00:42:04.920><c> only</c><00:42:05.159><c> be</c><00:42:05.320><c> 10</c><00:42:05.539><c> minutes</c><00:42:05.860><c> a</c><00:42:06.079><c> day.</c>

00:43:22.039 --> 00:43:24.300
and<00:43:22.260><c> what</c><00:43:22.420><c> I'm</c><00:43:22.800><c> determined</c><00:43:23.239><c> to</c><00:43:23.420><c> do</c><00:43:23.519><c> when</c><00:43:23.679><c> I</c><00:43:23.820><c> go</c><00:43:23.920><c> home</c><00:43:24.099><c> from</c>

That's<00:43:29.599><c> what</c><00:43:30.019><c> sacrifice</c><00:43:30.920><c> is</c><00:43:31.599><c> all</c><00:43:31.920><c> about.</c>
