00:03:07.259 --> 00:03:08.300
I'm<00:03:07.580><c> not</c><00:03:07.939><c> going</c><00:03:08.099><c> to</c><00:03:08.199><c> vote.</c>

00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:11.539
I<00:03:08.439><c> think</c><00:03:08.599><c> the</c><00:03:08.740><c> whole</c><00:03:08.860><c> thing's</c><00:03:09.259><c> kind</c><00:03:09.379><c> of,</c><00:03:10.180><c> I</c><00:03:11.080><c> think</c><00:03:11.280><c> the</c><00:03:11.400><c> whole</c>

00:03:11.539 --> 00:03:12.719
thing's<00:03:11.860><c> pointless.</c>

00:03:13.259 --> 00:03:14.159
And<00:03:13.699><c> you</c><00:03:13.860><c> do.</c>

00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:16.659
That's<00:03:14.780><c> only</c><00:03:14.979><c> half</c><00:03:15.240><c> the</c><00:03:15.439><c> truth,</c><00:03:15.780><c> isn't</c><00:03:15.860><c> it?</c>

00:03:17.819 --> 00:03:19.979
It's<00:03:18.219><c> pointless</c><00:03:18.479><c> because</c><00:03:18.979><c> of</c><00:03:19.199><c> something.</c>

00:03:20.659 --> 00:03:23.120
And<00:03:20.900><c> we're</c><00:03:21.060><c> going</c><00:03:21.180><c> to</c><00:03:21.719><c> talk</c><00:03:21.919><c> about</c><00:03:22.159><c> why</c><00:03:22.360><c> that's</c><00:03:22.639><c> the</c><00:03:22.819><c> case</c><00:03:22.979><c> and</c>

00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:27.379
maybe<00:03:23.340><c> give</c><00:03:23.520><c> us</c><00:03:23.699><c> a</c><00:03:23.719><c> little</c><00:03:23.979><c> bit</c><00:03:24.219><c> of</c><00:03:26.139><c> thoughts</c><00:03:26.419><c> in</c><00:03:26.699><c> our</c><00:03:26.900><c> back</c><00:03:27.099><c> pocket</c>

00:03:27.379 --> 00:03:29.379
that<00:03:27.500><c> we</c><00:03:27.659><c> can</c><00:03:27.860><c> carry</c><00:03:28.039><c> with</c><00:03:28.240><c> us</c><00:03:28.379><c> this</c><00:03:28.560><c> week</c><00:03:28.719><c> when</c><00:03:28.840><c> we</c><00:03:29.060><c> start</c><00:03:29.199><c> to</c>

00:03:29.379 --> 00:03:31.340
talk<00:03:29.539><c> about</c><00:03:29.759><c> these</c><00:03:29.960><c> things</c><00:03:30.139><c> with</c><00:03:30.280><c> our</c><00:03:30.520><c> friends</c><00:03:30.699><c> and</c><00:03:30.860><c> our</c><00:03:31.080><c> colleagues</c>

00:03:34.099 --> 00:03:35.159
take<00:03:34.319><c> the</c><00:03:34.539><c> stand</c><00:03:34.659><c> that</c><00:03:34.840><c> we</c><00:03:35.000><c> do.</c>

00:03:35.180 --> 00:03:36.879
And<00:03:35.300><c> we'll</c><00:03:35.400><c> talk</c><00:03:35.620><c> about</c><00:03:35.819><c> that</c><00:03:36.120><c> stand.</c>

00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:39.539
We'll<00:03:37.840><c> revisit</c><00:03:38.159><c> that</c><00:03:38.520><c> because</c><00:03:38.800><c> I'm</c><00:03:39.000><c> sure</c><00:03:39.180><c> that</c><00:03:39.340><c> we're</c><00:03:39.439><c> all</c>

00:03:39.539 --> 00:03:40.960
familiar<00:03:39.860><c> with</c><00:03:40.020><c> it.</c>

00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:44.319
Well,<00:03:42.460><c> I</c><00:03:42.560><c> won't</c><00:03:42.719><c> be</c><00:03:42.879><c> voting</c><00:03:43.060><c> in</c><00:03:43.180><c> any</c><00:03:43.400><c> of</c><00:03:43.539><c> the</c><00:03:43.620><c> Canadian</c><00:03:43.840><c> elections.</c>

00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:48.460
And<00:03:44.900><c> that's</c><00:03:45.080><c> not</c><00:03:45.360><c> just</c><00:03:45.599><c> because</c><00:03:46.439><c> my</c><00:03:47.580><c> convictions</c><00:03:48.039><c> wouldn't</c>

00:03:48.460 --> 00:03:49.919
lead<00:03:48.699><c> me</c><00:03:48.860><c> in</c><00:03:48.960><c> that</c><00:03:49.080><c> direction.</c>

00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:51.520
I'm<00:03:50.460><c> an</c><00:03:50.639><c> American.</c>

00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:53.500
That's<00:03:52.400><c> the</c><00:03:52.500><c> other</c><00:03:52.639><c> reason.</c>

00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:57.719
So<00:03:54.099><c> when</c><00:03:54.539><c> I</c><00:03:54.680><c> hear</c><00:03:54.759><c> names</c><00:03:55.060><c> like</c><00:03:55.340><c> Dalton</c><00:03:55.599><c> McGinty</c><00:03:56.340><c> and</c><00:03:57.280><c> Stephane</c>

00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:01.319

00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:05.240
I<00:04:02.520><c> really</c><00:04:02.800><c> can't</c><00:04:03.000><c> do</c><00:04:03.199><c> too</c><00:04:03.460><c> much</c><00:04:03.639><c> about</c><00:04:03.879><c> that</c><00:04:04.120><c> situation.</c>

00:04:05.620 --> 00:04:08.479
Liberal,<00:04:06.099><c> conservative,</c><00:04:07.259><c> New</c><00:04:07.419><c> Democratic.</c>

00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:11.919
I'm<00:04:10.280><c> really</c><00:04:10.539><c> still</c><00:04:10.740><c> learning</c><00:04:10.900><c> what</c><00:04:11.080><c> the</c><00:04:11.219><c> politics</c><00:04:11.620><c> of</c><00:04:11.780><c> this</c>

00:04:14.500 --> 00:04:17.079
But<00:04:14.639><c> when</c><00:04:14.759><c> we</c><00:04:14.840><c> look</c><00:04:14.960><c> at</c><00:04:15.039><c> names</c><00:04:15.259><c> like</c><00:04:15.500><c> Barack</c><00:04:15.719><c> Obama</c><00:04:16.360><c> and</c><00:04:16.759><c> Joe</c>

00:04:33.019 --> 00:04:33.339
right<00:04:33.220><c> now,</c>

00:04:33.339 --> 00:04:39.259
including<00:04:33.620><c> the</c><00:04:33.839><c> American</c><00:04:34.240><c> elections,</c><00:04:35.079><c> and</c><00:04:35.079><c> it's</c><00:04:36.220><c> led</c><00:04:36.480><c> to</c><00:04:36.639><c> some</c><00:04:36.779><c> good</c><00:04:37.100><c> conversations</c><00:04:37.680><c> as</c><00:04:37.920><c> well.</c>

00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:52.079
Because<00:04:49.120><c> what</c><00:04:49.339><c> we</c><00:04:49.620><c> believe</c><00:04:50.120><c> is</c><00:04:51.300><c> irresistible.</c>

00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:56.579
When<00:04:53.019><c> you</c><00:04:53.199><c> read</c><00:04:53.379><c> Psalm</c><00:04:53.699><c> 72,</c><00:04:54.399><c> you</c><00:04:54.579><c> can't</c><00:04:54.860><c> get</c><00:04:55.120><c> better</c><00:04:55.399><c> than</c><00:04:55.639><c> that.</c>

00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:58.220
You<00:04:56.839><c> can't.</c>

00:04:58.540 --> 00:05:01.519
And<00:04:58.800><c> we</c><00:04:58.939><c> have</c><00:04:59.620><c> to</c><00:04:59.759><c> exhibit</c><00:05:00.079><c> that</c><00:05:00.360><c> in</c><00:05:00.500><c> the</c><00:05:00.560><c> way</c><00:05:00.660><c> that</c><00:05:00.879><c> we</c><00:05:01.060><c> behave</c>

00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:08.740
And<00:05:07.120><c> so</c><00:05:07.160><c> we're</c><00:05:07.259><c> not</c><00:05:07.420><c> going</c><00:05:07.519><c> to</c><00:05:07.639><c> spend</c><00:05:07.800><c> too</c><00:05:08.000><c> much</c><00:05:08.199><c> time</c><00:05:08.379><c> talking</c>

00:05:11.259 --> 00:05:13.279
I<00:05:11.379><c> was</c><00:05:11.519><c> going</c><00:05:11.639><c> to</c><00:05:11.740><c> do</c><00:05:11.839><c> that</c><00:05:12.000><c> a</c><00:05:12.079><c> little</c><00:05:12.240><c> bit</c><00:05:12.399><c> more.</c>

We<00:07:39.259><c> pray</c><00:07:39.500><c> you</c><00:07:39.680><c> in</c><00:07:39.819><c> Christ's</c><00:07:40.779><c> stead,</c>

00:07:49.100 --> 00:07:51.980
Our<00:07:49.439><c> ministry</c><00:07:49.980><c> doesn't</c><00:07:50.379><c> have</c><00:07:50.540><c> anything</c><00:07:50.720><c> to</c><00:07:50.819><c> do</c><00:07:50.819><c> with</c><00:07:50.899><c> the</c><00:07:51.040><c> ministry</c><00:07:51.199><c> of</c><00:07:51.339><c> transportation,</c>

00:07:59.420 --> 00:08:00.100
That's<00:07:59.660><c> where</c><00:07:59.699><c> this</c><00:07:59.839><c> should</c><00:08:00.000><c> be.</c>

00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:01.680
That's<00:08:00.360><c> where</c><00:08:00.439><c> our</c><00:08:00.740><c> focus</c><00:08:01.019><c> should</c><00:08:01.279><c> be.</c>

00:08:01.939 --> 00:08:07.560
And<00:08:02.259><c> our</c><00:08:03.300><c> position</c><00:08:04.019><c> as</c><00:08:05.420><c> representatives</c><00:08:06.199><c> of</c><00:08:06.839><c> this</c><00:08:07.220><c> ministry</c>

of<00:08:07.779><c> reconciliation</c>

00:08:08.779 --> 00:08:12.300
is<00:08:09.139><c> that</c><00:08:09.399><c> we</c><00:08:09.560><c> are</c><00:08:09.800><c> to</c><00:08:09.860><c> be</c><00:08:10.139><c> ambassadors</c><00:08:10.879><c> for</c><00:08:11.240><c> Christ.</c>

00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.420
That<00:08:13.480><c> is</c><00:08:13.680><c> to</c><00:08:13.839><c> say,</c><00:08:15.339><c> we're</c><00:08:15.519><c> a</c><00:08:15.639><c> part</c><00:08:15.740><c> of</c><00:08:15.899><c> this</c><00:08:16.060><c> world,</c>

00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:19.180
we're<00:08:16.959><c> a</c><00:08:17.040><c> part</c><00:08:17.180><c> of</c><00:08:17.300><c> this</c><00:08:17.519><c> country</c><00:08:18.060><c> in</c><00:08:18.439><c> which</c><00:08:18.660><c> we</c><00:08:18.879><c> reside,</c>

00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:21.339
whatever<00:08:19.560><c> country</c><00:08:19.879><c> that</c><00:08:20.079><c> is,</c>

00:08:22.100 --> 00:08:25.740
but<00:08:22.459><c> we</c><00:08:22.620><c> are</c><00:08:22.720><c> not</c><00:08:22.860><c> to</c><00:08:23.120><c> take</c><00:08:23.899><c> part</c><00:08:24.319><c> in</c><00:08:24.620><c> the</c><00:08:24.839><c> affairs</c><00:08:25.100><c> of</c><00:08:25.300><c> that</c><00:08:25.459><c> country.</c>

00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:27.139
That's<00:08:26.079><c> the</c><00:08:26.259><c> principle.</c>

00:08:27.379 --> 00:08:29.300
We<00:08:27.579><c> are</c><00:08:27.920><c> citizens</c><00:08:28.420><c> of</c><00:08:28.699><c> another</c><00:08:28.879><c> country,</c>

00:08:31.579 --> 00:08:32.559
So<00:08:31.779><c> we're</c><00:08:32.039><c> ambassadors.</c>

00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:35.019
We<00:08:33.059><c> are</c><00:08:33.259><c> visitors</c><00:08:33.639><c> here,</c><00:08:34.200><c> as</c><00:08:34.440><c> it</c><00:08:34.600><c> were,</c>

from<00:08:35.919><c> a</c><00:08:36.179><c> different</c><00:08:36.539><c> place</c><00:08:36.820><c> that</c><00:08:37.000><c> we</c><00:08:37.059><c> don't</c><00:08:37.240><c> really</c><00:08:38.039><c> belong</c><00:08:38.379><c> to.</c>

00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:39.500
That's<00:08:38.940><c> right</c><00:08:39.179><c> here.</c>

00:08:39.860 --> 00:08:40.899
We<00:08:39.980><c> don't</c><00:08:40.080><c> really</c><00:08:40.340><c> belong</c><00:08:40.580><c> here.</c>

00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:42.500
We're<00:08:41.200><c> waiting</c><00:08:41.480><c> for</c><00:08:41.700><c> something</c><00:08:42.019><c> else</c><00:08:42.179><c> to</c><00:08:42.379><c> happen.</c>

00:08:42.539 --> 00:08:44.120
It's<00:08:42.700><c> a</c><00:08:42.799><c> wonderful</c><00:08:43.100><c> verse</c><00:08:43.340><c> to</c><00:08:43.539><c> begin</c><00:08:43.779><c> with.</c>

00:08:44.500 --> 00:08:46.039
We<00:08:44.639><c> talk</c><00:08:44.759><c> about</c><00:08:45.000><c> politics.</c>

00:08:46.700 --> 00:08:48.840
We<00:08:46.779><c> talk</c><00:08:47.019><c> about</c><00:08:47.200><c> the</c><00:08:47.360><c> different</c><00:08:47.639><c> responsibilities.</c>

00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:50.539
We're<00:08:49.539><c> ambassadors</c><00:08:49.960><c> for</c><00:08:50.220><c> Christ,</c>

00:08:50.620 --> 00:08:53.240

00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:54.860
It's<00:08:53.500><c> a</c><00:08:53.600><c> wonderful</c><00:08:53.960><c> phrase.</c>

00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:01.759
And<00:08:58.539><c> we</c><00:08:58.620><c> also</c><00:08:58.840><c> have</c><00:08:59.019><c> to</c><00:08:59.200><c> recognize</c><00:08:59.580><c> that</c><00:08:59.779><c> with</c><00:09:00.019><c> this</c><00:09:01.100><c> ministry</c>

00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:02.779
of<00:09:02.059><c> reconciliation,</c>

00:09:02.779 --> 00:09:05.399
that<00:09:03.740><c> there's</c><00:09:04.759><c> something</c><00:09:04.980><c> involved,</c>

00:09:05.580 --> 00:09:08.340

00:09:09.419 --> 00:09:14.480
Because<00:09:09.679><c> when</c><00:09:09.860><c> we</c><00:09:10.000><c> look</c><00:09:10.159><c> at</c><00:09:10.340><c> verse</c><00:09:12.240><c> 18,</c>

00:09:19.580 --> 00:09:22.100
And<00:09:19.980><c> in</c><00:09:20.379><c> another</c><00:09:20.580><c> place</c><00:09:20.820><c> it</c><00:09:20.940><c> also</c><00:09:21.200><c> talks</c><00:09:21.480><c> about</c><00:09:21.740><c> the</c><00:09:21.919><c> fact</c>

00:09:22.100 --> 00:09:25.419
that<00:09:22.379><c> all</c><00:09:22.759><c> things</c><00:09:23.179><c> have</c><00:09:23.460><c> been</c><00:09:23.860><c> committed</c><00:09:24.259><c> to</c><00:09:24.460><c> Christ.</c>

00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:29.740
All<00:09:27.080><c> is</c><00:09:27.519><c> God's,</c><00:09:28.500><c> all</c><00:09:28.860><c> is</c><00:09:29.159><c> Christ's,</c>

00:09:29.740 --> 00:09:33.259
and<00:09:29.899><c> therefore</c><00:09:30.259><c> all</c><00:09:30.980><c> is</c><00:09:31.879><c> ours</c><00:09:32.100><c> as</c><00:09:32.360><c> well.</c>

00:09:33.580 --> 00:09:36.700
But<00:09:34.139><c> we</c><00:09:34.279><c> don't</c><00:09:34.500><c> get</c><00:09:34.720><c> to</c><00:09:35.139><c> experience</c><00:09:35.700><c> any</c><00:09:35.960><c> of</c><00:09:36.059><c> those</c><00:09:36.279><c> things</c>

00:09:36.700 --> 00:09:37.559
right<00:09:37.200><c> now,</c>

00:09:37.659 --> 00:09:40.360
as<00:09:37.759><c> far</c><00:09:37.980><c> as</c><00:09:39.159><c> the</c><00:09:39.480><c> inheritance</c><00:09:40.000><c> goes,</c>

00:09:40.419 --> 00:09:43.159
because<00:09:40.679><c> we</c><00:09:40.799><c> know</c><00:09:40.980><c> that</c><00:09:41.159><c> the</c><00:09:41.440><c> inheritance</c><00:09:42.059><c> comes</c><00:09:42.700><c> later.</c>

00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:45.700
That's<00:09:43.740><c> something</c><00:09:43.960><c> that</c><00:09:44.179><c> comes</c><00:09:45.039><c> later</c><00:09:45.419><c> on.</c>

00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:49.419
God<00:09:46.200><c> gives</c><00:09:46.779><c> all</c><00:09:47.279><c> of</c><00:09:47.440><c> these</c><00:09:47.700><c> things</c><00:09:48.159><c> in</c><00:09:48.700><c> His</c><00:09:48.919><c> good</c><00:09:49.139><c> time.</c>

00:09:49.460 --> 00:09:52.299
Just<00:09:49.679><c> turn</c><00:09:49.840><c> to</c><00:09:49.960><c> John</c><00:09:50.340><c> chapter</c><00:09:50.720><c> 18.</c>

00:09:59.019 --> 00:10:04.240
When<00:09:59.460><c> it</c><00:09:59.600><c> comes</c><00:10:00.179><c> to</c><00:10:01.720><c> considering</c><00:10:03.019><c> this</c><00:10:03.259><c> question</c><00:10:03.580><c> of</c><00:10:03.879><c> politics</c>

00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:05.980
and<00:10:04.399><c> who</c><00:10:04.519><c> we</c><00:10:04.679><c> ought</c><00:10:04.840><c> to</c><00:10:04.940><c> align</c><00:10:05.159><c> ourselves</c><00:10:05.659><c> with</c>

00:10:05.980 --> 00:10:08.080
and<00:10:06.120><c> who</c><00:10:06.279><c> we</c><00:10:06.379><c> should</c><00:10:06.519><c> vote</c><00:10:06.779><c> for,</c>

00:10:08.659 --> 00:10:11.039

00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:12.940
And<00:10:11.320><c> I</c><00:10:11.379><c> just</c><00:10:11.580><c> think</c><00:10:11.679><c> we</c><00:10:11.840><c> ought</c><00:10:11.940><c> to</c><00:10:12.080><c> pay</c><00:10:12.240><c> attention</c><00:10:12.559><c> just</c><00:10:12.799><c> to</c>

00:10:12.940 --> 00:10:13.340
one<00:10:13.120><c> thing</c>

00:10:13.340 --> 00:10:16.440
before<00:10:13.639><c> we</c><00:10:13.899><c> read</c><00:10:14.080><c> this</c><00:10:14.340><c> passage</c><00:10:14.639><c> in</c><00:10:14.820><c> John</c><00:10:15.120><c> chapter</c><00:10:15.440><c> 18.</c>

00:10:16.820 --> 00:10:21.039
You<00:10:17.000><c> see,</c><00:10:17.259><c> our</c><00:10:17.519><c> view</c><00:10:17.840><c> of</c><00:10:18.360><c> what</c><00:10:18.740><c> Christ</c><00:10:19.220><c> did</c><00:10:19.600><c> for</c><00:10:19.840><c> us</c><00:10:20.139><c> as</c><00:10:20.360><c> a</c><00:10:20.580><c> community</c>

00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:21.779
is<00:10:21.779><c> very</c><00:10:21.779><c> important.</c>

00:10:21.779 --> 00:10:24.620
It's<00:10:21.779><c> vastly</c><00:10:22.200><c> different</c><00:10:22.700><c> from</c><00:10:23.580><c> the</c><00:10:23.799><c> world</c><00:10:23.940><c> around</c><00:10:24.299><c> us,</c>

00:10:24.779 --> 00:10:26.220
the<00:10:24.960><c> Christian</c><00:10:25.320><c> world</c><00:10:25.600><c> around</c><00:10:25.899><c> us.</c>

00:10:26.379 --> 00:10:31.340
So<00:10:26.419><c> for</c><00:10:26.600><c> example,</c><00:10:27.860><c> if</c><00:10:27.980><c> you</c><00:10:28.139><c> believe</c><00:10:28.460><c> that</c><00:10:28.740><c> Christ</c><00:10:29.059><c> is</c><00:10:29.539><c> a</c><00:10:29.940><c> substitute</c><00:10:30.480><c> for</c><00:10:30.799><c> you,</c>

00:10:31.620 --> 00:10:33.879
that<00:10:31.840><c> He</c><00:10:32.080><c> went</c><00:10:32.299><c> through</c><00:10:32.600><c> all</c><00:10:32.879><c> of</c><00:10:32.980><c> those</c><00:10:33.139><c> horrible</c><00:10:33.500><c> things</c>

00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:35.960
so<00:10:34.200><c> that</c><00:10:34.419><c> we</c><00:10:34.539><c> don't</c><00:10:34.720><c> have</c><00:10:35.080><c> to,</c>

00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:39.700
this<00:10:37.899><c> point's</c><00:10:38.159><c> not</c><00:10:38.279><c> going</c><00:10:38.379><c> to</c><00:10:38.500><c> make</c><00:10:38.600><c> any</c><00:10:38.799><c> sense.</c>

00:10:41.220 --> 00:10:44.440
We<00:10:41.379><c> have</c><00:10:41.600><c> to</c><00:10:41.779><c> understand</c><00:10:42.279><c> that</c><00:10:42.980><c> what</c><00:10:43.440><c> Christ</c><00:10:43.820><c> has</c><00:10:44.100><c> done,</c>

00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:48.019
He<00:10:45.059><c> certainly</c><00:10:45.480><c> absolutely</c><00:10:46.220><c> did</c><00:10:46.500><c> things</c><00:10:46.980><c> that</c><00:10:47.240><c> we</c><00:10:47.419><c> could</c><00:10:47.639><c> not</c><00:10:47.860><c> do.</c>

00:10:48.019 --> 00:10:50.720
He<00:10:48.179><c> was</c><00:10:49.059><c> the</c><00:10:49.440><c> sinless</c><00:10:49.919><c> Son</c><00:10:50.200><c> of</c><00:10:50.399><c> God</c>

00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:53.279
in<00:10:51.080><c> the</c><00:10:51.240><c> sense</c><00:10:51.399><c> that</c><00:10:51.539><c> He</c><00:10:51.659><c> committed</c><00:10:51.919><c> no</c><00:10:52.240><c> transgression</c><00:10:52.720><c> at</c><00:10:52.919><c> all.</c>

00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:55.019
We<00:10:53.799><c> know</c><00:10:54.059><c> that.</c>

00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:02.519
But<00:10:56.600><c> when</c><00:10:57.279><c> it</c><00:10:57.360><c> comes</c><00:10:57.679><c> down</c><00:10:57.980><c> to</c><00:10:58.200><c> this</c><00:11:00.299><c> substitution</c><00:11:01.279><c> idea,</c>

00:11:02.700 --> 00:11:03.820
He<00:11:03.059><c> is</c><00:11:03.379><c> not</c><00:11:03.659><c> that.</c>

00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:05.080
He<00:11:04.000><c> is</c><00:11:04.200><c> our</c><00:11:04.460><c> representative,</c>

00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:08.019
and<00:11:05.460><c> because</c><00:11:05.840><c> of</c><00:11:06.000><c> that</c><00:11:06.220><c> we</c><00:11:06.360><c> have</c><00:11:06.620><c> to</c><00:11:06.759><c> do</c><00:11:06.860><c> what</c><00:11:06.960><c> He</c><00:11:07.139><c> does.</c>

00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:09.779
And<00:11:08.580><c> sometimes</c><00:11:08.899><c> in</c><00:11:09.039><c> the</c><00:11:09.179><c> world</c><00:11:09.340><c> around</c><00:11:09.620><c> us</c>

00:11:09.779 --> 00:11:12.559
it's<00:11:10.000><c> going</c><00:11:10.139><c> to</c><00:11:10.779><c> appear</c><00:11:11.059><c> completely</c><00:11:11.620><c> foolish.</c>

00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:14.320
People<00:11:13.179><c> call</c><00:11:13.440><c> it</c><00:11:13.779><c> suicide.</c>

00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:18.220
If<00:11:14.440><c> you</c><00:11:14.519><c> don't</c><00:11:14.659><c> get</c><00:11:15.759><c> involved</c><00:11:17.240><c> in</c><00:11:17.379><c> the</c><00:11:17.500><c> political</c><00:11:17.799><c> process,</c>

00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:20.139
what<00:11:18.379><c> it</c><00:11:18.539><c> is,</c><00:11:18.740><c> is</c><00:11:18.840><c> it's</c><00:11:19.240><c> suicide.</c>

00:11:21.259 --> 00:11:22.720
It's<00:11:21.539><c> suicide</c><00:11:21.899><c> for</c><00:11:22.080><c> your</c><00:11:22.320><c> families,</c>

00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:24.820
even<00:11:23.340><c> just</c><00:11:23.519><c> the</c><00:11:23.679><c> doctrine</c><00:11:23.899><c> of</c><00:11:24.059><c> turning</c><00:11:24.240><c> the</c><00:11:24.379><c> other</c><00:11:24.600><c> cheek.</c>

00:11:24.899 --> 00:11:26.139
It's<00:11:25.120><c> suicide.</c>

00:11:27.460 --> 00:11:29.279
It's<00:11:27.899><c> suicide</c><00:11:28.240><c> to</c><00:11:28.379><c> the</c><00:11:28.500><c> world</c><00:11:28.620><c> around</c><00:11:28.919><c> us.</c>

00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:32.139
Well,<00:11:29.759><c> just</c><00:11:29.919><c> consider</c><00:11:30.240><c> this</c><00:11:30.399><c> in</c><00:11:30.559><c> John</c><00:11:30.779><c> chapter</c><00:11:31.120><c> 18,</c>

00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:39.799
and<00:11:32.980><c> in</c><00:11:33.200><c> particular</c><00:11:33.519><c> we're</c><00:11:33.740><c> going</c><00:11:34.100><c> to</c><00:11:35.860><c> look</c><00:11:37.500><c> at</c><00:11:37.639><c> verse</c><00:11:38.100><c> 33,</c><00:11:39.000><c> beginning.</c>

00:11:40.419 --> 00:11:41.899
It<00:11:40.480><c> says</c><00:11:40.639><c> there</c><00:11:40.840><c> in</c><00:11:40.940><c> John</c><00:11:41.179><c> chapter</c><00:11:41.480><c> 18</c>

00:11:41.899 --> 00:11:44.419
that<00:11:42.259><c> Pilate</c><00:11:42.679><c> entered</c><00:11:43.019><c> into</c><00:11:43.419><c> the</c><00:11:43.580><c> judgment</c><00:11:43.860><c> hall</c><00:11:44.100><c> again</c>

00:11:44.419 --> 00:11:46.899
and<00:11:44.639><c> called</c><00:11:44.779><c> Jesus</c><00:11:45.240><c> and</c><00:11:45.379><c> said</c><00:11:45.580><c> unto</c><00:11:45.740><c> him,</c>

00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:48.580
Are<00:11:47.320><c> you</c><00:11:47.440><c> the</c><00:11:47.519><c> king</c><00:11:47.679><c> of</c><00:11:47.779><c> the</c><00:11:47.899><c> Jews?</c>

00:11:50.220 --> 00:11:52.399
Jesus<00:11:50.580><c> answered</c><00:11:50.919><c> him,</c>

00:11:52.700 --> 00:11:54.139
Sayest<00:11:52.980><c> thou</c><00:11:53.100><c> this</c><00:11:53.360><c> of</c><00:11:53.519><c> thyself,</c>

00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:57.360
or<00:11:54.340><c> did</c><00:11:54.519><c> others</c><00:11:54.940><c> tell</c><00:11:55.200><c> it</c><00:11:55.340><c> of</c><00:11:56.340><c> me?</c>

00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:00.080
Pilate<00:11:58.440><c> answered,</c><00:11:58.879><c> Am</c><00:11:59.039><c> I</c><00:11:59.220><c> a</c><00:11:59.360><c> Jew?</c>

00:12:00.500 --> 00:12:02.200
Thy<00:12:00.580><c> own</c><00:12:00.799><c> nation</c><00:12:01.159><c> and</c><00:12:01.340><c> the</c><00:12:01.519><c> chief</c><00:12:01.759><c> priests</c>

00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:03.519
had<00:12:02.460><c> delivered</c><00:12:02.799><c> thee</c><00:12:02.980><c> unto</c><00:12:03.220><c> me.</c>

00:12:03.700 --> 00:12:05.279
What<00:12:03.960><c> hast</c><00:12:04.240><c> thou</c><00:12:04.360><c> done?</c>

00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:10.039
Jesus<00:12:06.259><c> answered,</c><00:12:07.019><c> My</c><00:12:07.320><c> kingdom</c><00:12:07.960><c> is</c><00:12:08.740><c> not</c><00:12:08.940><c> of</c><00:12:09.080><c> this</c><00:12:09.320><c> world.</c>

00:12:10.340 --> 00:12:13.000
If<00:12:10.840><c> my</c><00:12:11.259><c> kingdom</c><00:12:11.720><c> were</c><00:12:12.139><c> of</c><00:12:12.399><c> this</c><00:12:12.679><c> world,</c>

00:12:13.419 --> 00:12:14.759
then<00:12:13.679><c> would</c><00:12:13.919><c> my</c><00:12:14.179><c> servants</c><00:12:14.440><c> fight,</c>

00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:16.620
that<00:12:14.919><c> I</c><00:12:15.100><c> should</c><00:12:15.299><c> not</c><00:12:15.559><c> be</c><00:12:15.799><c> delivered</c><00:12:16.000><c> to</c><00:12:16.159><c> the</c><00:12:16.320><c> Jews.</c>

00:12:16.860 --> 00:12:20.740
But<00:12:17.059><c> now</c><00:12:17.559><c> is</c><00:12:18.240><c> my</c><00:12:18.480><c> kingdom</c><00:12:18.879><c> not</c><00:12:19.519><c> from</c><00:12:19.860><c> hence.</c>

00:12:21.620 --> 00:12:22.559
That's<00:12:22.120><c> the</c><00:12:22.220><c> verse.</c>

00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:24.240
That's<00:12:23.039><c> another</c><00:12:23.340><c> wonderful</c><00:12:23.840><c> verse</c>

00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:26.379
that<00:12:24.460><c> we</c><00:12:24.620><c> ought</c><00:12:24.740><c> to</c><00:12:24.820><c> be</c><00:12:24.960><c> really</c><00:12:25.220><c> familiar</c><00:12:25.539><c> with.</c>

00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:28.000
What's<00:12:27.220><c> the</c><00:12:27.340><c> answer</c><00:12:27.559><c> to</c><00:12:27.759><c> that?</c>

00:12:28.419 --> 00:12:31.419
If<00:12:28.639><c> Jesus</c><00:12:29.039><c> truly</c><00:12:29.360><c> was</c><00:12:29.580><c> that</c><00:12:29.919><c> pattern</c><00:12:30.179><c> that</c><00:12:30.360><c> we're</c><00:12:30.539><c> to</c><00:12:30.720><c> follow,</c>

00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:33.139
he's<00:12:32.059><c> before</c><00:12:32.340><c> Pilate</c><00:12:32.720><c> here,</c>

00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:35.340
and<00:12:34.080><c> he</c><00:12:34.120><c> says,</c><00:12:34.360><c> My</c><00:12:34.419><c> kingdom</c><00:12:34.679><c> is</c><00:12:34.799><c> not</c><00:12:34.879><c> of</c><00:12:34.980><c> this</c><00:12:35.159><c> world.</c>

00:12:35.460 --> 00:12:36.259
I'm<00:12:35.639><c> not</c><00:12:35.799><c> going</c><00:12:35.919><c> to</c><00:12:36.059><c> fight.</c>

00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:50.599
God<00:18:48.339><c> knows</c><00:18:48.740><c> who</c><00:18:48.940><c> He's</c><00:18:49.099><c> putting</c><00:18:49.380><c> in.</c>

00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:42.859
Do<00:22:41.059><c> you</c><00:22:41.079><c> know</c><00:22:41.180><c> what</c><00:22:41.339><c> righteousness</c><00:22:41.700><c> means?</c>

00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:47.259
It<00:22:44.599><c> kind</c><00:22:44.660><c> of</c><00:22:44.680><c> means</c><00:22:44.880><c> like</c><00:22:45.660><c> what</c><00:22:45.759><c> it</c><00:22:45.900><c> sounds</c><00:22:46.119><c> like.</c>

00:22:47.500 --> 00:22:48.440
Rightness.

00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:50.220
It<00:22:48.960><c> has</c><00:22:49.099><c> a</c><00:22:49.200><c> lot</c><00:22:49.299><c> to</c><00:22:49.440><c> do</c><00:22:49.519><c> with</c><00:22:49.720><c> rightness.</c>

00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:52.539
That<00:22:50.680><c> which</c><00:22:50.920><c> is</c><00:22:51.599><c> right.</c>

00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:55.779
This<00:22:53.259><c> king</c><00:22:53.559><c> is</c><00:22:53.779><c> going</c><00:22:53.960><c> to</c><00:22:54.200><c> reign</c><00:22:54.599><c> in</c><00:22:55.339><c> righteousness.</c>

00:22:55.940 --> 00:22:57.440
He's<00:22:56.140><c> going</c><00:22:56.259><c> to</c><00:22:56.400><c> do</c><00:22:56.539><c> that</c><00:22:56.759><c> which</c><00:22:56.940><c> is</c><00:22:57.180><c> right.</c>

00:22:57.900 --> 00:22:59.019
Well,<00:22:58.059><c> what</c><00:22:58.220><c> about</c><00:22:58.579><c> judgment?</c>

00:22:59.160 --> 00:23:00.859
Well,<00:22:59.299><c> you</c><00:22:59.359><c> might</c><00:22:59.559><c> have</c><00:22:59.759><c> a</c><00:23:00.019><c> Bible</c><00:23:00.319><c> translation</c>

00:23:00.859 --> 00:23:02.400
that<00:23:01.079><c> actually</c><00:23:01.400><c> says</c><00:23:01.700><c> justice.</c>

00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:04.960
Does<00:23:02.839><c> anyone</c><00:23:03.039><c> actually</c><00:23:04.160><c> have</c><00:23:04.319><c> that</c><00:23:04.599><c> translation?</c>

00:23:05.180 --> 00:23:06.319
You<00:23:05.319><c> have</c><00:23:05.519><c> justice,</c><00:23:06.079><c> right?</c>

00:23:06.579 --> 00:23:07.859
Sometimes<00:23:06.980><c> the</c><00:23:07.200><c> revised</c><00:23:07.500><c> version</c>

00:23:07.859 --> 00:23:11.140
and<00:23:08.099><c> more</c><00:23:09.119><c> modern</c><00:23:09.460><c> versions</c><00:23:09.759><c> will</c><00:23:09.980><c> have</c><00:23:10.180><c> justice.</c>

00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:12.680
So<00:23:11.420><c> this</c><00:23:11.619><c> king</c><00:23:11.819><c> is</c><00:23:12.000><c> going</c><00:23:12.099><c> to</c><00:23:12.200><c> be</c><00:23:12.440><c> ruling</c>

00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:13.779

00:23:13.819 --> 00:23:15.819
He's<00:23:14.000><c> going</c><00:23:14.119><c> to</c><00:23:14.200><c> be</c><00:23:14.359><c> ruling</c><00:23:14.500><c> with</c><00:23:14.680><c> his</c><00:23:14.900><c> princes.</c>

00:23:15.900 --> 00:23:18.299
And<00:23:16.220><c> it's</c><00:23:16.319><c> not</c><00:23:16.500><c> going</c><00:23:16.599><c> to</c><00:23:16.680><c> be</c><00:23:16.880><c> subject</c><00:23:17.259><c> to</c><00:23:17.519><c> this</c>

00:23:18.299 --> 00:23:20.200
kind<00:23:18.880><c> of</c><00:23:19.180><c> club</c><00:23:19.619><c> kind</c><00:23:19.920><c> of</c><00:23:20.059><c> thing,</c>

00:23:20.279 --> 00:23:23.400
like<00:23:20.400><c> where</c><00:23:20.539><c> we</c><00:23:22.200><c> have</c><00:23:22.319><c> a</c><00:23:22.380><c> lot</c><00:23:22.559><c> of</c><00:23:22.680><c> those</c><00:23:22.940><c> accusations</c>

00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:25.940
in<00:23:23.579><c> the</c><00:23:23.740><c> Republican</c><00:23:24.079><c> Party</c><00:23:24.460><c> in</c><00:23:24.619><c> the</c><00:23:24.740><c> United</c><00:23:25.019><c> States,</c><00:23:25.900><c> right?</c>

00:23:25.940 --> 00:23:29.359
That<00:23:26.140><c> it's</c><00:23:26.779><c> big</c><00:23:27.559><c> governments</c><00:23:28.099><c> owned</c><00:23:28.519><c> by</c><00:23:28.819><c> this</c><00:23:29.059><c> club.</c>

00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:31.480
It's<00:23:29.920><c> not</c><00:23:30.119><c> how</c><00:23:30.240><c> it's</c><00:23:30.420><c> going</c><00:23:30.539><c> to</c><00:23:30.619><c> be</c><00:23:30.759><c> in</c><00:23:30.880><c> the</c><00:23:30.960><c> age</c><00:23:31.160><c> to</c><00:23:31.359><c> come.</c>

00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:33.779
It's<00:23:31.819><c> going</c><00:23:31.900><c> to</c><00:23:32.000><c> be</c><00:23:32.240><c> real</c><00:23:32.599><c> justice.</c>

00:23:35.059 --> 00:23:37.019
It<00:23:35.460><c> can't</c><00:23:35.859><c> work</c><00:23:36.140><c> this</c><00:23:36.359><c> side</c><00:23:36.559><c> of</c><00:23:36.700><c> the</c><00:23:36.839><c> kingdom.</c>

00:23:37.019 --> 00:23:39.380
You<00:23:37.220><c> can't</c><00:23:37.720><c> accomplish</c><00:23:38.200><c> that</c><00:23:38.460><c> this</c><00:23:38.700><c> side</c><00:23:38.819><c> of</c><00:23:38.960><c> the</c><00:23:39.079><c> kingdom.</c>

00:23:39.819 --> 00:23:41.559
But<00:23:39.859><c> when</c><00:23:40.059><c> you</c><00:23:40.259><c> have</c><00:23:40.819><c> administrators</c>

00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:44.279
who<00:23:42.160><c> perfectly</c><00:23:42.640><c> understand</c><00:23:43.259><c> the</c><00:23:43.480><c> mind</c><00:23:43.660><c> of</c><00:23:43.880><c> God</c>

00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:46.259
and<00:23:44.980><c> are</c><00:23:45.500><c> infallible</c>

00:23:46.259 --> 00:23:48.319
because<00:23:46.559><c> they</c><00:23:46.880><c> receive</c><00:23:47.220><c> their</c><00:23:47.440><c> direction</c><00:23:47.819><c> from</c><00:23:48.039><c> God,</c>

00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:49.720
you<00:23:48.519><c> can't</c><00:23:48.759><c> go</c><00:23:48.940><c> wrong.</c>

00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:52.099
That's<00:23:50.880><c> the</c><00:23:51.059><c> picture</c><00:23:51.279><c> that</c><00:23:51.440><c> we're</c><00:23:51.599><c> being</c><00:23:51.859><c> given</c>

00:23:52.099 --> 00:23:54.180
in<00:23:52.259><c> Isaiah</c><00:23:52.640><c> chapter</c><00:23:53.140><c> 32.</c>

00:23:56.720 --> 00:23:57.759
Let's<00:23:56.940><c> just</c><00:23:57.160><c> do</c><00:23:57.259><c> a</c><00:23:57.400><c> couple</c><00:23:57.559><c> more.</c>

00:23:57.799 --> 00:23:59.779
What<00:23:57.920><c> about</c><00:23:58.119><c> the</c><00:23:58.380><c> food</c><00:23:58.579><c> crisis?</c>

00:24:01.500 --> 00:24:02.400
The<00:24:01.799><c> food</c><00:24:02.000><c> crisis.</c>

00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:04.079
There's<00:24:02.599><c> a</c><00:24:02.700><c> lot</c><00:24:03.380><c> of</c><00:24:03.559><c> suggestions</c>

00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:05.859
as<00:24:04.359><c> to</c><00:24:04.500><c> exactly</c><00:24:04.819><c> what</c><00:24:05.000><c> we</c><00:24:05.200><c> should</c><00:24:05.319><c> do</c>

00:24:05.859 --> 00:24:09.480
to<00:24:06.779><c> feed</c><00:24:07.019><c> those</c><00:24:07.400><c> who</c><00:24:07.559><c> are</c><00:24:08.220><c> in</c><00:24:08.799><c> desperate</c><00:24:09.160><c> need</c>

00:24:09.480 --> 00:24:10.700
in<00:24:09.680><c> this</c><00:24:09.839><c> own</c><00:24:10.019><c> country,</c>

00:24:10.900 --> 00:24:13.839

00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:14.839
which<00:24:14.059><c> are</c><00:24:14.319><c> war</c><00:24:14.539><c>-torn,</c>

00:24:15.140 --> 00:24:17.220

00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:21.180
Well,<00:24:18.700><c> let's</c><00:24:18.940><c> just</c><00:24:19.200><c> look</c><00:24:19.380><c> at</c><00:24:20.059><c> Psalm</c><00:24:20.299><c> 72</c><00:24:20.779><c> again.</c>

00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:23.900
There's<00:24:21.799><c> a</c><00:24:21.960><c> really</c><00:24:22.200><c> curious</c><00:24:22.519><c> phrase</c><00:24:22.839><c> here,</c>

00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:26.700
which<00:24:24.319><c> at</c><00:24:24.579><c> first</c><00:24:24.920><c> doesn't</c><00:24:25.299><c> seem</c><00:24:25.519><c> to</c><00:24:25.640><c> be</c><00:24:25.759><c> a</c><00:24:25.859><c> big</c><00:24:26.019><c> deal</c><00:24:26.259><c> at</c><00:24:26.460><c> all.</c>

00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:28.980
I<00:24:27.259><c> remember</c><00:24:27.440><c> the</c><00:24:27.599><c> first</c><00:24:27.799><c> time</c><00:24:28.039><c> somebody</c><00:24:28.299><c> pointed</c><00:24:28.599><c> this</c><00:24:28.819><c> out</c>

00:24:28.980 --> 00:24:29.700
to<00:24:29.079><c> me,</c>

00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:31.700
I<00:24:30.000><c> thought,</c><00:24:31.200><c> so?</c>

00:24:31.880 --> 00:24:33.799
And<00:24:32.099><c> basically,</c><00:24:32.900><c> part</c><00:24:33.000><c> of</c><00:24:33.119><c> the</c><00:24:33.220><c> reason</c><00:24:33.440><c> for</c><00:24:33.640><c> that</c>

00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:35.900
is<00:24:34.200><c> because</c><00:24:34.200><c> I</c><00:24:34.440><c> am</c><00:24:34.720><c> not</c><00:24:34.940><c> a</c><00:24:35.099><c> farmer.</c>

00:24:38.740 --> 00:24:40.279
And<00:24:39.019><c> even</c><00:24:39.500><c> though</c><00:24:39.619><c> I'm</c><00:24:39.779><c> still</c><00:24:40.019><c> not,</c>

00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:42.140
I<00:24:40.680><c> have</c><00:24:40.819><c> a</c><00:24:40.920><c> better</c><00:24:41.099><c> understanding</c><00:24:41.500><c> of</c><00:24:41.660><c> this</c><00:24:41.819><c> passage</c>

00:24:42.140 --> 00:24:44.200
because<00:24:42.500><c> I</c><00:24:42.759><c> hang</c><00:24:42.920><c> out</c><00:24:43.099><c> with</c><00:24:43.220><c> them.</c>

00:24:44.940 --> 00:24:46.839
So<00:24:45.180><c> Psalm</c><00:24:45.480><c> 72.</c>

00:24:49.339 --> 00:24:50.619
In<00:24:49.359><c> verse</c><00:24:49.579><c> 16,</c><00:24:50.279><c> it</c><00:24:50.279><c> says,</c>

00:24:50.680 --> 00:24:52.759
speaking<00:24:51.019><c> about</c><00:24:51.299><c> the</c><00:24:51.579><c> abundance</c><00:24:51.900><c> and</c><00:24:52.099><c> the</c><00:24:52.279><c> age</c><00:24:52.380><c> to</c><00:24:52.599><c> come,</c>

00:24:52.900 --> 00:24:53.339
it<00:24:52.920><c> says,</c>

00:24:53.819 --> 00:24:56.859
There<00:24:53.960><c> shall</c><00:24:54.200><c> be</c><00:24:55.319><c> a</c><00:24:55.880><c> handful</c><00:24:56.299><c> of</c><00:24:56.640><c> corn,</c>

00:24:57.059 --> 00:25:00.160
and<00:24:57.519><c> really</c><00:24:57.779><c> the</c><00:24:57.900><c> word</c><00:24:58.079><c> there</c><00:24:58.400><c> is</c><00:24:59.180><c> grain.</c>

00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:02.180
There<00:25:00.619><c> shall</c><00:25:00.740><c> be</c><00:25:00.960><c> a</c><00:25:01.079><c> handful</c><00:25:01.440><c> of</c><00:25:01.839><c> grain</c>

00:25:02.180 --> 00:25:04.920
in<00:25:02.440><c> the</c><00:25:02.640><c> earth</c><00:25:03.279><c> upon</c><00:25:03.880><c> the</c><00:25:04.119><c> top</c><00:25:04.279><c> of</c><00:25:04.500><c> the</c><00:25:04.559><c> mountains.</c>

00:25:05.220 --> 00:25:07.559
The<00:25:05.339><c> fruit</c><00:25:05.539><c> thereof</c><00:25:05.880><c> shall</c><00:25:06.079><c> shake</c><00:25:06.380><c> like</c><00:25:06.680><c> Lebanon,</c>

00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:09.460
and<00:25:08.160><c> they</c><00:25:08.259><c> of</c><00:25:08.400><c> the</c><00:25:08.599><c> city</c><00:25:08.779><c> shall</c><00:25:09.059><c> flourish</c>

like<00:25:09.859><c> grass</c><00:25:10.200><c> of</c><00:25:10.400><c> the</c><00:25:10.539><c> earth.</c>

00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:13.960
Now,<00:25:11.740><c> you</c><00:25:11.880><c> know,</c><00:25:11.980><c> if</c><00:25:12.099><c> you</c><00:25:12.200><c> have</c><00:25:12.359><c> a</c><00:25:12.480><c> handful</c><00:25:12.740><c> of</c><00:25:13.059><c> grain,</c>

00:25:14.299 --> 00:25:15.339
just<00:25:14.480><c> like</c><00:25:14.680><c> a</c><00:25:14.880><c> handful,</c>

00:25:15.779 --> 00:25:17.779
just<00:25:15.920><c> picture</c><00:25:16.059><c> just</c><00:25:16.359><c> spilling</c><00:25:16.579><c> out</c><00:25:16.759><c> of</c><00:25:16.839><c> your</c><00:25:17.000><c> fingers,</c>

00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:20.240
that's<00:25:18.799><c> not</c><00:25:19.039><c> going</c><00:25:19.200><c> to</c><00:25:19.359><c> feed</c><00:25:19.460><c> you</c><00:25:19.619><c> for</c><00:25:19.759><c> very</c><00:25:20.019><c> long.</c>

00:25:20.579 --> 00:25:21.980
So<00:25:20.740><c> I</c><00:25:20.819><c> remember</c><00:25:20.980><c> thinking,</c><00:25:21.279><c> what's</c><00:25:21.539><c> the</c><00:25:21.619><c> big</c><00:25:21.779><c> deal</c>

00:25:21.980 --> 00:25:23.980
if<00:25:22.079><c> there's</c><00:25:22.240><c> going</c><00:25:22.359><c> to</c><00:25:22.400><c> be</c><00:25:22.539><c> a</c><00:25:22.680><c> handful</c><00:25:22.900><c> of</c><00:25:23.140><c> corn?</c>

00:25:25.140 --> 00:25:27.039
It's<00:25:25.539><c> in</c><00:25:25.700><c> the</c><00:25:25.819><c> top</c><00:25:25.940><c> of</c><00:25:26.099><c> the</c><00:25:26.240><c> mountains.</c>

00:25:28.799 --> 00:25:30.859
You<00:25:28.900><c> ever</c><00:25:29.059><c> grow</c><00:25:29.180><c> anything</c><00:25:29.420><c> in</c><00:25:29.599><c> the</c><00:25:29.640><c> top</c><00:25:29.839><c> of</c><00:25:29.960><c> the</c><00:25:30.079><c> mountains?</c>

00:25:31.819 --> 00:25:33.599
If<00:25:32.259><c> the</c><00:25:32.559><c> top</c><00:25:32.779><c> of</c><00:25:32.980><c> the</c><00:25:33.140><c> mountains</c>

00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:35.920
will<00:25:34.240><c> be</c><00:25:34.420><c> that</c><00:25:34.720><c> fruitful</c><00:25:35.059><c> in</c><00:25:35.319><c> the</c><00:25:35.400><c> age</c><00:25:35.599><c> to</c><00:25:35.799><c> come,</c>

00:25:36.140 --> 00:25:38.059
what's<00:25:36.259><c> the</c><00:25:36.359><c> rest</c><00:25:36.559><c> of</c><00:25:36.720><c> the</c><00:25:36.720><c> world</c><00:25:36.859><c> going</c><00:25:37.039><c> to</c><00:25:37.039><c> look</c><00:25:37.240><c> like?</c>

00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:41.200
That's<00:25:39.799><c> the</c><00:25:39.920><c> point</c><00:25:40.039><c> of</c><00:25:40.200><c> this</c><00:25:40.359><c> verse.</c>

00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:43.720
It's<00:25:42.519><c> wonderful</c><00:25:42.859><c> to</c><00:25:43.059><c> think</c><00:25:43.200><c> about</c><00:25:43.440><c> that.</c>

00:25:43.880 --> 00:25:45.920
And<00:25:43.980><c> when</c><00:25:44.079><c> you</c><00:25:44.240><c> couple</c><00:25:44.460><c> that</c><00:25:44.779><c> with</c><00:25:44.960><c> the</c><00:25:45.180><c> prophecy</c><00:25:45.460><c> of</c><00:25:45.660><c> Micah,</c>

00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:54.700
when<00:25:52.700><c> people</c><00:25:53.039><c> beat</c><00:25:53.279><c> their</c><00:25:53.539><c> swords</c>

00:25:55.440 --> 00:25:56.440

00:25:56.519 --> 00:25:58.420
that<00:25:56.740><c> something</c><00:25:57.059><c> else</c><00:25:57.400><c> is</c><00:25:57.579><c> going</c><00:25:57.680><c> to</c><00:25:57.779><c> be</c><00:25:57.960><c> used</c>

00:25:58.420 --> 00:26:00.119
for<00:25:58.920><c> agriculture,</c>

00:26:00.380 --> 00:26:02.640
so<00:26:00.500><c> that</c><00:26:00.619><c> there</c><00:26:00.819><c> will</c><00:26:01.079><c> be</c><00:26:01.259><c> food</c><00:26:01.500><c> for</c><00:26:01.680><c> people,</c>

00:26:05.319 --> 00:26:06.259
And<00:26:05.440><c> you</c><00:26:05.480><c> know</c><00:26:05.539><c> what</c><00:26:05.619><c> the</c><00:26:05.720><c> answer</c><00:26:06.000><c> is?</c>

00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:07.640
Stop<00:26:06.779><c> war.</c>

00:26:08.779 --> 00:26:10.079
We<00:26:09.059><c> know</c><00:26:09.259><c> that</c><00:26:09.420><c> that</c><00:26:09.559><c> won't</c><00:26:09.740><c> happen</c>

00:26:33.099 --> 00:26:33.920
That's<00:26:33.460><c> an</c><00:26:33.539><c> interesting</c><00:26:33.759><c> one.</c>

00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:36.160
It's<00:26:34.059><c> kind</c><00:26:34.279><c> of</c><00:26:34.359><c> contentious</c><00:26:34.839><c> between</c><00:26:35.200><c> the</c><00:26:35.519><c> United</c><00:26:35.839><c> States</c>

You<00:28:02.700><c> see,</c><00:28:02.880><c> that's</c><00:28:02.940><c> what</c><00:28:03.140><c> the</c><00:28:03.299><c> Holy</c><00:28:03.579><c> Spirit</c><00:28:03.880><c> gifts</c><00:28:04.140><c> were.</c>

00:28:18.660 --> 00:28:20.819
So<00:28:19.259><c> the</c><00:28:19.400><c> Holy</c><00:28:19.740><c> Spirit,</c><00:28:20.200><c> we'll</c><00:28:20.339><c> see</c><00:28:20.500><c> that</c>

00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:25.059
So<00:28:22.660><c> if</c><00:28:22.759><c> it's</c><00:28:22.960><c> the</c><00:28:23.099><c> same</c><00:28:23.299><c> power,</c><00:28:23.680><c> how</c><00:28:23.859><c> did</c><00:28:23.980><c> that</c><00:28:24.220><c> power</c><00:28:24.579><c> work</c>

Let's<00:28:29.019><c> just</c><00:28:29.460><c> look</c><00:28:29.799><c> at</c><00:28:29.880><c> that</c><00:28:30.160><c> second</c><00:28:30.380><c> passage</c>

00:28:30.779 --> 00:28:32.839

00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:34.960
And<00:28:33.380><c> we</c><00:28:33.440><c> might</c><00:28:33.599><c> have</c><00:28:33.740><c> had</c><00:28:33.900><c> occasion</c><00:28:34.200><c> to</c>

00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:39.160
it's<00:28:36.839><c> important</c><00:28:37.140><c> that</c><00:28:37.319><c> we</c><00:28:37.480><c> bring</c><00:28:37.579><c> it</c><00:28:37.680><c> up</c><00:28:37.839><c> again</c><00:28:38.079><c> here</c><00:28:38.319><c> because</c>

00:29:36.279 --> 00:29:37.880

00:32:04.220 --> 00:32:05.759
And<00:32:04.339><c> he</c><00:32:04.400><c> was</c><00:32:04.619><c> carried</c><00:32:04.880><c> on</c><00:32:05.059><c> this</c>

Of<00:32:14.019><c> course</c><00:32:14.220><c> it's</c><00:32:14.460><c> obvious,</c>

00:32:15.019 --> 00:32:17.039
they<00:32:15.220><c> wanted</c><00:32:15.460><c> his</c><00:32:15.700><c> friend</c><00:32:15.819><c> to</c><00:32:16.000><c> be</c><00:32:16.220><c> healed.</c>

00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:27.119
And<00:32:25.680><c> when</c><00:32:25.799><c> we</c><00:32:25.980><c> keep</c><00:32:26.220><c> reading,</c>

When<00:32:30.480><c> Jesus</c><00:32:30.880><c> saw</c><00:32:31.160><c> their</c><00:32:31.440><c> faith,</c>

Son,<00:32:36.140><c> you're</c><00:32:36.259><c> healed.</c>

00:32:38.359 --> 00:32:39.019
He<00:32:38.680><c> doesn't</c><00:32:38.859><c> say</c>

00:38:43.800 --> 00:38:46.099
him<00:38:44.000><c> not</c><00:38:44.300><c> backing</c><00:38:44.539><c> down</c><00:38:44.980><c> from</c><00:38:45.239><c> anybody,</c>

00:38:48.199 --> 00:38:49.519
We<00:38:48.420><c> like</c><00:38:48.579><c> that</c><00:38:48.820><c> guy.</c>

00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:52.880

00:38:54.659 --> 00:38:55.860
Well,<00:38:54.980><c> it</c><00:38:55.119><c> wasn't</c><00:38:55.360><c> a</c><00:38:55.539><c> democracy</c>

00:38:55.860 --> 00:38:57.860
back<00:38:56.119><c> then,</c><00:38:56.340><c> but</c><00:38:56.559><c> they</c><00:38:56.920><c> were</c><00:38:57.119><c> trying</c><00:38:57.320><c> to</c><00:38:57.440><c> do</c><00:38:57.559><c> the</c><00:38:57.599><c> next</c>

00:38:57.860 --> 00:38:59.880
best<00:38:58.079><c> thing.</c><00:38:59.000><c> And</c><00:38:59.079><c> what</c><00:38:59.139><c> they</c><00:38:59.300><c> did</c><00:38:59.400><c> in</c><00:38:59.519><c> the</c><00:38:59.659><c> Roman</c>

00:38:59.880 --> 00:39:02.539
world<00:39:00.179><c> is</c><00:39:00.380><c> that</c><00:39:00.500><c> if</c><00:39:00.579><c> you</c><00:39:00.659><c> didn't</c><00:39:00.880><c> like</c><00:39:01.099><c> a</c><00:39:01.260><c> specific</c><00:39:01.659><c> king,</c>

00:39:03.000 --> 00:39:03.940
you'd<00:39:03.320><c> get</c><00:39:03.539><c> your</c>

00:39:06.599 --> 00:39:07.900
I<00:39:06.739><c> think</c><00:39:07.420><c> Sean</c>

00:39:07.900 --> 00:39:09.699
should<00:39:08.099><c> be</c><00:39:08.260><c> a</c><00:39:08.340><c> king.</c><00:39:09.519><c> Yep,</c>

00:39:09.880 --> 00:39:11.780
definitely<00:39:10.139><c> Sean.</c><00:39:10.780><c> And</c><00:39:10.920><c> we've</c><00:39:11.139><c> got</c><00:39:11.280><c> the</c><00:39:11.559><c> army</c>

00:39:11.780 --> 00:39:14.059
to<00:39:12.000><c> back</c><00:39:12.139><c> you,</c><00:39:12.300><c> so</c><00:39:12.400><c> don't</c><00:39:12.539><c> worry</c><00:39:12.619><c> about</c><00:39:12.820><c> it.</c><00:39:12.960><c> We</c><00:39:13.059><c> got</c><00:39:13.219><c> you.</c>

00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:15.760
That's<00:39:14.739><c> what</c><00:39:14.860><c> they</c><00:39:15.039><c> do.</c>

00:39:16.239 --> 00:39:17.820
Now,<00:39:16.340><c> the</c><00:39:16.460><c> Lord</c><00:39:16.559><c> Jesus</c><00:39:16.840><c> Christ</c><00:39:17.099><c> had</c><00:39:17.260><c> many</c><00:39:17.500><c> more</c>

00:39:17.820 --> 00:39:19.940

00:39:20.380 --> 00:39:22.059
people,<00:39:20.860><c> just</c><00:39:21.099><c> a</c><00:39:21.219><c> couple</c><00:39:21.380><c> of</c><00:39:21.659><c> legions</c>

00:39:22.500 --> 00:39:23.900

00:39:28.940 --> 00:39:29.940
But<00:39:29.199><c> just</c><00:39:29.639><c> read</c>

00:39:29.940 --> 00:39:32.400

00:39:34.420 --> 00:39:35.219
it<00:39:34.460><c> says,</c>

00:39:53.900 --> 00:39:55.420
He<00:39:54.000><c> departed</c><00:39:54.219><c> again</c>

00:39:57.920 --> 00:39:58.940
alone.

00:40:01.900 --> 00:40:03.559
So<00:40:02.119><c> the</c><00:40:02.280><c> Lord</c><00:40:02.440><c> Jesus</c><00:40:02.760><c> Christ</c><00:40:03.079><c> presented</c>

00:40:16.039 --> 00:40:17.460
In<00:40:16.179><c> the</c><00:40:16.420><c> days</c><00:40:16.619><c> of</c><00:40:16.820><c> our</c><00:40:17.099><c> flesh,</c>

00:40:24.900 --> 00:40:26.639
It's<00:40:25.039><c> time</c><00:40:25.300><c> for</c><00:40:25.539><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:40:28.760 --> 00:40:30.099
And<00:40:28.880><c> some</c><00:40:29.000><c> might</c><00:40:29.179><c> say,</c><00:40:29.519><c> no,</c><00:40:29.579><c> it</c><00:40:29.579><c> was</c><00:40:29.699><c> time</c><00:40:29.920><c> for</c>

He<00:40:41.219><c> withdrew.</c>

00:40:42.179 --> 00:40:44.300
And<00:40:42.440><c> you</c><00:40:42.519><c> know</c><00:40:42.559><c> what</c><00:40:42.659><c> the</c><00:40:42.800><c> Gospel</c><00:40:43.119><c> of</c><00:40:43.300><c> Mark</c><00:40:43.519><c> tells</c><00:40:43.760><c> us?</c>

00:40:44.760 --> 00:40:46.500
It<00:40:45.000><c> says</c><00:40:45.380><c> that</c><00:40:45.619><c> when</c>

00:40:58.059 --> 00:41:00.420
Mark<00:40:58.340><c> says</c><00:40:58.659><c> that</c><00:40:58.920><c> Jesus</c><00:40:59.420><c> constrained</c>

00:41:00.420 --> 00:41:02.400

that<00:41:08.320><c> yet.</c>

00:41:09.780 --> 00:41:12.179
It's<00:41:10.000><c> a</c><00:41:10.139><c> very</c><00:41:10.519><c> powerful</c><00:41:10.900><c> lesson,</c><00:41:11.280><c> and</c><00:41:11.340><c> Jesus</c><00:41:11.739><c> forces</c>

It's<00:43:37.420><c> all</c><00:43:38.000><c> part</c><00:43:38.380><c> of</c><00:43:38.539><c> that</c>

00:43:38.800 --> 00:43:40.280
greater<00:43:39.119><c> walk</c><00:43:39.420><c> in</c><00:43:39.579><c> the</c><00:43:39.820><c> truth</c>

00:43:40.280 --> 00:43:42.500
that<00:43:40.900><c> we</c><00:43:41.059><c> have</c><00:43:41.239><c> to</c><00:43:41.360><c> be</c><00:43:41.599><c> separate</c><00:43:41.840><c> from</c><00:43:42.059><c> the</c><00:43:42.239><c> world,</c>

00:43:42.699 --> 00:43:44.900
as<00:43:42.739><c> verse</c><00:43:42.980><c> 11</c><00:43:43.280><c> says,</c><00:43:43.699><c> as</c><00:43:43.860><c> strangers</c>

00:43:44.920 --> 00:43:47.019
and<00:43:45.400><c> as</c><00:43:45.679><c> pilgrims.</c>

00:43:48.460 --> 00:43:48.659
And

00:43:48.659 --> 00:43:50.440
just<00:43:48.980><c> one</c><00:43:49.239><c> final</c><00:43:49.519><c> verse.</c>

00:43:50.500 --> 00:43:52.980
It's<00:43:50.760><c> in</c><00:43:51.000><c> 1</c><00:43:51.320><c> Timothy,</c><00:43:52.239><c> chapter</c><00:43:52.559><c> 2.</c>

00:43:53.179 --> 00:43:54.460
This<00:43:53.340><c> is</c><00:43:53.539><c> another</c><00:43:53.699><c> wonderful</c><00:43:54.119><c> verse.</c>

00:43:54.820 --> 00:43:56.280
So<00:43:54.980><c> what</c><00:43:55.159><c> are</c><00:43:55.300><c> we</c><00:43:55.440><c> to</c><00:43:55.619><c> do</c><00:43:55.780><c> then?</c>

00:43:56.780 --> 00:43:58.500
We're<00:43:56.980><c> to</c><00:43:57.199><c> separate</c><00:43:57.440><c> ourselves</c><00:43:57.960><c> for</c><00:43:58.300><c> sure.</c>

00:43:58.519 --> 00:43:59.900
Of<00:43:58.739><c> course</c><00:43:58.940><c> we</c><00:43:59.119><c> are.</c>

00:44:00.260 --> 00:44:02.059
But<00:44:00.860><c> we're</c><00:44:01.079><c> also</c><00:44:01.340><c> to</c><00:44:01.500><c> follow</c><00:44:01.739><c> the</c><00:44:01.860><c> words</c>

I<00:44:15.400><c> exhort</c>

00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:17.820

For<00:44:35.280><c> this</c><00:44:35.480><c> is</c><00:44:35.659><c> good</c><00:44:35.840><c> and</c><00:44:36.139><c> acceptable</c><00:44:36.440><c> in</c><00:44:36.639><c> the</c><00:44:36.760><c> sight</c>

00:44:36.880 --> 00:44:38.920

to<00:45:14.219><c> young</c><00:45:14.420><c> people,</c><00:45:14.900><c> because</c><00:45:15.039><c> we</c><00:45:15.300><c> tend,</c>

00:45:16.500 --> 00:45:18.260

00:45:44.539 --> 00:45:46.300
You<00:45:44.619><c> don't</c><00:45:44.739><c> have</c><00:45:44.880><c> to</c><00:45:45.019><c> kill</c><00:45:45.119><c> them</c><00:45:45.239><c> with</c><00:45:45.380><c> verses,</c>

00:45:46.860 --> 00:45:48.380
