00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:42.539
That's<00:02:39.300><c> kind</c><00:02:39.500><c> of</c><00:02:39.659><c> the</c><00:02:39.759><c> way</c><00:02:40.099><c> the</c><00:02:40.539><c> medical</c><00:02:40.819><c> system</c><00:02:41.180><c> works,</c><00:02:41.780><c> doesn't</c><00:02:41.979><c> it?</c>

00:02:42.539 --> 00:02:46.400
We<00:02:43.439><c> were</c><00:02:44.300><c> kind</c><00:02:44.520><c> of</c><00:02:44.680><c> used</c><00:02:44.939><c> to</c><00:02:45.180><c> that</c><00:02:45.639><c> kind</c><00:02:46.000><c> of</c><00:02:46.159><c> a</c><00:02:46.219><c> thing.</c>

00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:51.439
But<00:02:47.080><c> the</c><00:02:48.139><c> commonality</c><00:02:48.780><c> is</c><00:02:49.080><c> we</c><00:02:49.280><c> are</c><00:02:49.639><c> seen</c><00:02:50.000><c> by</c><00:02:50.400><c> somebody</c><00:02:50.919><c> every</c>

00:02:53.500 --> 00:02:56.060
We're<00:02:53.740><c> going</c><00:02:53.740><c> to</c><00:02:53.860><c> take</c><00:02:54.000><c> a</c><00:02:54.099><c> look</c><00:02:54.300><c> at</c><00:02:54.599><c> at</c><00:02:54.800><c> least</c><00:02:55.259><c> three</c><00:02:55.659><c> miracles</c>

00:02:56.060 --> 00:03:00.280
today<00:02:56.500><c> where</c><00:02:57.259><c> someone</c><00:02:57.659><c> was</c><00:02:58.199><c> not</c><00:02:58.659><c> seen</c><00:02:58.960><c> by</c><00:02:59.219><c> the</c><00:02:59.400><c> doctor.</c>

00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:02.919
So<00:03:00.639><c> I'd</c><00:03:00.860><c> like</c><00:03:00.860><c> to</c><00:03:01.060><c> talk</c><00:03:01.199><c> this</c><00:03:01.439><c> morning</c><00:03:01.699><c> a</c><00:03:01.900><c> little</c><00:03:02.099><c> bit</c><00:03:02.400><c> about</c>

Gentile<00:03:03.680><c> Miracles.</c>

00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:11.099
And<00:03:06.599><c> there's</c><00:03:07.199><c> two</c><00:03:07.460><c> passages</c><00:03:08.199><c> in</c><00:03:09.199><c> Matthew</c><00:03:09.719><c> and</c><00:03:10.419><c> Luke</c><00:03:10.719><c> that</c><00:03:10.919><c> we</c>

00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:19.960
And<00:03:15.620><c> then</c><00:03:15.699><c> we'll</c><00:03:15.840><c> take</c><00:03:16.060><c> a</c><00:03:16.159><c> look</c><00:03:16.319><c> at</c><00:03:16.560><c> two</c><00:03:17.539><c> specific</c><00:03:18.840><c> miracles</c>

00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:27.419
And<00:03:23.659><c> then</c><00:03:24.099><c> suggest</c><00:03:24.620><c> a</c><00:03:24.860><c> list</c><00:03:25.120><c> of</c><00:03:25.620><c> a</c><00:03:25.759><c> number</c><00:03:25.960><c> of</c><00:03:26.199><c> others</c><00:03:26.500><c> where</c>

00:03:29.819 --> 00:03:33.699

00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:21.899

As<00:07:59.819><c> we</c><00:08:00.180><c> read</c><00:08:00.560><c> through</c><00:08:01.120><c> the</c><00:08:01.600><c> Gospels,</c><00:08:02.339><c> we</c><00:08:02.540><c> can</c><00:08:02.899><c> sense</c><00:08:03.220><c> that</c><00:08:03.459><c> Jesus</c><00:08:04.000><c> did</c>

00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:06.600
what<00:08:05.220><c> was</c><00:08:05.480><c> right</c><00:08:05.740><c> for</c><00:08:05.939><c> each</c><00:08:06.220><c> person</c>

00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:10.579
at<00:08:06.800><c> that</c><00:08:07.060><c> time,</c><00:08:07.439><c> did</c><00:08:07.620><c> what</c><00:08:07.779><c> was</c><00:08:08.060><c> right</c><00:08:08.360><c> for</c><00:08:08.660><c> that</c><00:08:09.000><c> particular</c><00:08:09.500><c> person.</c>

00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:15.220
And<00:08:12.100><c> as</c><00:08:12.300><c> we</c><00:08:12.519><c> live</c><00:08:12.939><c> our</c><00:08:13.339><c> lives,</c><00:08:13.800><c> we</c><00:08:13.920><c> are</c><00:08:13.980><c> not</c><00:08:14.540><c> healers,</c><00:08:15.060><c> we</c><00:08:15.139><c> are</c>

00:08:15.220 --> 00:08:16.199
not<00:08:15.439><c> miracle</c><00:08:15.839><c> workers,</c>

00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:20.639
but<00:08:16.439><c> people</c><00:08:16.740><c> do</c><00:08:17.000><c> come</c><00:08:17.220><c> to</c><00:08:17.459><c> us,</c><00:08:17.879><c> our</c><00:08:18.139><c> children,</c><00:08:18.740><c> our</c><00:08:18.959><c> grandchildren,</c><00:08:19.660><c> our</c><00:08:19.800><c> brethren</c><00:08:20.079><c> and</c><00:08:20.319><c> sisters,</c>

00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:22.060
our<00:08:20.920><c> co</c><00:08:21.220><c>-workers.</c>

00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:26.300
And<00:08:22.540><c> it</c><00:08:22.579><c> takes</c><00:08:22.879><c> time</c><00:08:23.240><c> and</c><00:08:23.439><c> effort</c><00:08:23.759><c> to</c><00:08:25.079><c> prayerfully</c><00:08:25.740><c> say</c><00:08:26.139><c> the</c>

00:08:26.300 --> 00:08:28.579
right<00:08:26.680><c> thing</c><00:08:27.100><c> and</c><00:08:27.579><c> do</c><00:08:27.899><c> the</c><00:08:28.079><c> right</c><00:08:28.360><c> thing,</c>

00:08:28.579 --> 00:08:30.439
doesn't<00:08:28.800><c> it?</c><00:08:28.939><c> It</c><00:08:29.079><c> takes</c><00:08:29.259><c> energy.</c>

00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:37.240
The<00:08:31.459><c> energy</c><00:08:31.800><c> expended</c><00:08:32.340><c> by</c><00:08:32.720><c> the</c><00:08:32.980><c> Lord</c><00:08:33.399><c> was</c><00:08:33.879><c> huge</c><00:08:34.539><c> as</c><00:08:35.240><c> he</c><00:08:35.600><c> ministered</c><00:08:36.799><c> to</c><00:08:37.019><c> the</c>

00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:39.000
sick<00:08:37.580><c> around</c><00:08:38.080><c> him.</c>

00:08:39.860 --> 00:08:42.100
So<00:08:40.080><c> just</c><00:08:40.299><c> a</c><00:08:40.419><c> little</c><00:08:40.580><c> point</c><00:08:40.860><c> in</c><00:08:41.179><c> passing.</c>

00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:46.740
And<00:08:42.799><c> again,</c><00:08:42.980><c> we</c><00:08:43.179><c> will</c><00:08:43.440><c> see</c><00:08:43.620><c> that</c><00:08:44.440><c> little</c><00:08:44.879><c> phrase</c><00:08:45.240><c> come</c><00:08:45.460><c> up</c><00:08:45.659><c> from</c><00:08:45.899><c> time</c><00:08:46.139><c> to</c><00:08:46.399><c> time,</c>

00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:49.899
that<00:08:47.039><c> power</c><00:08:47.460><c> went</c><00:08:47.700><c> out</c><00:08:48.019><c> of</c><00:08:48.200><c> him</c><00:08:48.480><c> as</c><00:08:48.879><c> he</c><00:08:49.120><c> healed.</c>

00:08:50.379 --> 00:08:55.019
So<00:08:50.539><c> let's</c><00:08:50.720><c> take</c><00:08:50.899><c> a</c><00:08:51.019><c> look</c><00:08:51.179><c> at</c><00:08:51.460><c> the</c><00:08:52.059><c> two</c><00:08:52.539><c> miracles</c><00:08:53.240><c> on</c><00:08:53.740><c> the</c><00:08:54.100><c> slide.</c>

00:08:55.139 --> 00:08:58.360
The<00:08:55.480><c> healing</c><00:08:55.679><c> of</c><00:08:55.899><c> the</c><00:08:56.100><c> centurion</c><00:08:56.580><c> servant</c><00:08:57.019><c> in</c><00:08:57.659><c> Matthew</c><00:08:58.059><c> and</c><00:08:58.220><c> Luke.</c>

00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:00.519
I<00:08:58.519><c> had</c><00:08:58.720><c> both</c><00:08:59.019><c> passages</c><00:08:59.519><c> read.</c>

00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:03.220
And<00:09:01.000><c> if</c><00:09:01.120><c> you</c><00:09:01.299><c> were</c><00:09:01.519><c> listening</c><00:09:01.820><c> carefully</c><00:09:02.480><c> and</c><00:09:02.840><c> comparing,</c>

00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:06.019
there<00:09:03.460><c> were</c><00:09:03.659><c> some</c><00:09:03.840><c> differences</c><00:09:04.200><c> between</c><00:09:04.600><c> them,</c><00:09:04.820><c> weren't</c><00:09:05.000><c> there?</c>

00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:12.279
So<00:09:07.940><c> let's</c><00:09:08.679><c> kind</c><00:09:08.919><c> of</c><00:09:09.139><c> keep</c><00:09:09.379><c> fingers</c><00:09:09.980><c> in</c><00:09:10.399><c> two</c><00:09:10.720><c> different</c><00:09:11.120><c> places</c>

00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:15.799
and<00:09:13.080><c> spend</c><00:09:13.360><c> a</c><00:09:13.519><c> little</c><00:09:13.659><c> bit</c><00:09:13.820><c> of</c><00:09:14.039><c> time</c><00:09:14.419><c> thinking</c><00:09:14.820><c> and</c><00:09:15.179><c> trying</c><00:09:15.419><c> to</c>

00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:19.379
imagine<00:09:16.360><c> this</c><00:09:17.600><c> particular</c><00:09:18.220><c> miracle.</c>

00:09:26.059 --> 00:09:30.740
Matthew<00:09:26.980><c> chapter</c><00:09:27.899><c> 8</c><00:09:28.360><c> verses</c><00:09:28.820><c> 5</c><00:09:29.480><c> through</c><00:09:29.720><c> 13</c>

00:09:33.179 --> 00:09:38.559
reads<00:09:34.100><c> as</c><00:09:34.639><c> if</c><00:09:35.340><c> the</c><00:09:36.700><c> centurion</c><00:09:37.220><c> came</c><00:09:37.539><c> directly</c><00:09:38.000><c> to</c><00:09:38.200><c> the</c><00:09:38.360><c> Lord</c>

00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:40.399
and<00:09:38.779><c> spoke</c><00:09:39.080><c> to</c><00:09:39.279><c> the</c><00:09:39.480><c> Lord.</c>

00:09:41.139 --> 00:09:42.960
Fairly<00:09:41.580><c> clear,</c><00:09:41.960><c> isn't</c><00:09:42.000><c> it?</c>

00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:52.360
Luke<00:09:45.559><c> tells</c><00:09:46.440><c> us</c><00:09:47.299><c> that</c><00:09:48.460><c> the</c><00:09:48.759><c> centurion</c><00:09:49.419><c> sent</c><00:09:50.000><c> the</c><00:09:50.440><c> Jewish</c><00:09:50.720><c> elders</c><00:09:51.120><c> first</c><00:09:51.759><c> and</c>

00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:53.519
then<00:09:52.620><c> servants.</c>

00:09:54.340 --> 00:09:57.559
How<00:09:54.519><c> do</c><00:09:54.659><c> we</c><00:09:55.039><c> reconcile</c><00:09:55.820><c> the</c><00:09:56.480><c> apparent</c><00:09:56.899><c> contradiction?</c>

00:09:57.700 --> 00:10:03.080
Well,<00:09:57.820><c> I</c><00:09:57.860><c> would</c><00:09:58.120><c> suggest,</c><00:09:58.779><c> brothers</c><00:09:58.879><c> and</c><00:09:59.139><c> sisters,</c><00:10:00.700><c> that</c><00:10:01.139><c> Luke's</c><00:10:02.059><c> passage</c><00:10:02.519><c> is</c>

00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:12.440
the<00:10:03.860><c> one</c><00:10:04.200><c> that</c><00:10:04.799><c> fills</c><00:10:05.000><c> in</c><00:10:05.299><c> all</c><00:10:05.480><c> the</c>

00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:15.519
he<00:10:12.740><c> did</c><00:10:13.519><c> all</c><00:10:14.379><c> the</c><00:10:14.659><c> time.</c>

00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:17.320
He<00:10:15.779><c> was</c><00:10:15.980><c> a</c><00:10:16.100><c> man</c><00:10:16.320><c> set</c><00:10:16.519><c> under</c><00:10:16.799><c> authority.</c>

00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:19.840
He<00:10:17.639><c> told</c><00:10:17.899><c> his</c><00:10:18.120><c> servants</c><00:10:18.379><c> to</c><00:10:18.620><c> do</c><00:10:18.779><c> this</c><00:10:18.960><c> and</c><00:10:19.080><c> they</c><00:10:19.240><c> did</c><00:10:19.419><c> it.</c>

00:10:20.220 --> 00:10:23.879
So<00:10:20.419><c> this</c><00:10:20.519><c> is</c><00:10:20.740><c> an</c><00:10:20.899><c> example</c><00:10:21.500><c> of</c><00:10:22.360><c> exactly</c><00:10:22.980><c> what</c><00:10:23.220><c> the</c><00:10:23.460><c> centurion</c>

00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:25.179
was<00:10:24.100><c> talked</c><00:10:24.340><c> about.</c>

00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:27.399
Listen<00:10:25.620><c> again</c><00:10:26.000><c> to</c><00:10:26.179><c> what</c><00:10:26.460><c> the</c><00:10:26.679><c> Jewish</c><00:10:26.899><c> elder</c><00:10:27.159><c> said.</c>

00:10:27.460 --> 00:10:28.639
He<00:10:27.600><c> built</c><00:10:27.860><c> us</c><00:10:28.139><c> a</c><00:10:28.320><c> synagogue.</c>

00:10:28.820 --> 00:10:31.980
Now,<00:10:29.000><c> does</c><00:10:29.139><c> that</c><00:10:29.379><c> mean</c><00:10:29.600><c> that</c><00:10:29.820><c> the</c><00:10:30.039><c> centurion</c><00:10:30.659><c> actually</c><00:10:31.320><c> took</c>

00:10:31.980 --> 00:10:33.840
hammer<00:10:32.659><c> and</c><00:10:33.299><c> chisel</c>

00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.559
and<00:10:34.360><c> actually</c><00:10:34.919><c> built</c><00:10:35.279><c> with</c><00:10:35.399><c> his</c><00:10:35.659><c> own</c><00:10:35.860><c> hands</c><00:10:36.120><c> the</c><00:10:36.299><c> synagogue?</c>

00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:37.340
No,<00:10:36.799><c> of</c><00:10:36.980><c> course</c><00:10:37.179><c> not.</c>

00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:39.379
We<00:10:37.500><c> understand</c><00:10:37.960><c> that</c><00:10:38.240><c> pretty</c><00:10:38.580><c> clearly,</c><00:10:38.879><c> don't</c><00:10:39.100><c> we?</c>

00:10:39.379 --> 00:10:44.820
The<00:10:40.279><c> centurion</c><00:10:40.879><c> arranged</c><00:10:41.879><c> for</c><00:10:42.639><c> a</c><00:10:42.960><c> synagogue</c><00:10:43.399><c> to</c><00:10:43.700><c> be</c><00:10:43.899><c> built.</c>

00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:51.580
And<00:10:46.200><c> so</c><00:10:46.340><c> the</c><00:10:46.559><c> centurion</c><00:10:47.200><c> talked</c><00:10:47.700><c> to</c><00:10:47.980><c> Jesus</c><00:10:48.519><c> through</c><00:10:49.080><c> the</c><00:10:49.620><c> agency</c><00:10:50.500><c> of</c>

00:10:51.580 --> 00:10:54.039
the<00:10:52.100><c> elders</c><00:10:52.559><c> of</c><00:10:52.919><c> the</c><00:10:53.159><c> Jews.</c>

00:10:56.059 --> 00:10:59.480
Now,<00:10:56.440><c> step</c><00:10:56.700><c> back</c><00:10:56.980><c> for</c><00:10:57.159><c> a</c><00:10:57.240><c> moment</c><00:10:57.379><c> and</c><00:10:57.600><c> think</c><00:10:57.799><c> about</c><00:10:58.100><c> that</c><00:10:58.440><c> centurion.</c>

00:11:01.340 --> 00:11:04.659
Century<00:11:02.100><c> 100,</c><00:11:03.000><c> centurion</c><00:11:03.840><c> 100</c><00:11:04.299><c> men.</c>

00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:08.379
He<00:11:04.840><c> was</c><00:11:05.320><c> a</c><00:11:05.539><c> man</c><00:11:05.799><c> in</c><00:11:06.139><c> charge</c><00:11:06.440><c> of</c><00:11:06.720><c> 100</c><00:11:07.240><c> soldiers.</c>

00:11:08.820 --> 00:11:12.080
Now,<00:11:09.559><c> I'm</c><00:11:09.820><c> sure</c><00:11:10.059><c> there</c><00:11:10.399><c> are</c><00:11:10.679><c> a</c><00:11:10.779><c> number</c><00:11:10.980><c> of</c><00:11:11.200><c> you</c><00:11:11.360><c> who</c><00:11:11.580><c> are</c><00:11:11.799><c> in</c>

00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:14.460
management<00:11:12.600><c> and</c><00:11:13.159><c> supervisory</c><00:11:13.960><c> positions.</c>

00:11:14.620 --> 00:11:18.000
100<00:11:14.940><c> people</c><00:11:15.320><c> is</c><00:11:15.480><c> a</c><00:11:15.600><c> lot</c><00:11:15.700><c> of</c><00:11:15.820><c> people</c><00:11:16.000><c> to</c><00:11:16.159><c> think</c><00:11:16.299><c> about,</c><00:11:16.639><c> isn't</c><00:11:16.759><c> it?</c>

00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:22.600
But<00:11:19.200><c> these</c><00:11:19.460><c> were</c><00:11:20.379><c> Roman</c><00:11:20.799><c> soldiers,</c><00:11:21.500><c> weren't</c><00:11:21.620><c> they?</c>

00:11:22.779 --> 00:11:26.299
Now,<00:11:23.440><c> think</c><00:11:23.759><c> about</c><00:11:24.080><c> being</c><00:11:24.419><c> in</c><00:11:24.720><c> charge</c><00:11:25.059><c> of</c><00:11:25.299><c> 100</c><00:11:25.759><c> soldiers.</c>

00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:32.580
The<00:11:27.220><c> tendencies</c><00:11:27.919><c> and</c><00:11:28.820><c> the</c><00:11:29.200><c> personality</c><00:11:29.740><c> required</c><00:11:30.559><c> to</c><00:11:31.480><c> command</c><00:11:31.860><c> respect</c><00:11:32.360><c> for</c>

00:11:32.580 --> 00:11:34.360
100<00:11:32.919><c> soldiers,</c>

00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:38.120
there's<00:11:35.460><c> a</c><00:11:35.580><c> certain</c><00:11:35.759><c> personality</c><00:11:36.419><c> involved</c><00:11:36.799><c> in</c><00:11:37.000><c> that,</c><00:11:37.159><c> isn't</c><00:11:37.320><c> there?</c>

00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:43.399
And<00:11:38.720><c> we</c><00:11:38.919><c> don't</c><00:11:39.200><c> think</c><00:11:39.539><c> of</c><00:11:40.200><c> kindness</c><00:11:40.700><c> and</c><00:11:41.279><c> compassion</c><00:11:42.039><c> and</c><00:11:42.820><c> care</c><00:11:43.080><c> for</c>

00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:44.360
others<00:11:43.659><c> necessarily</c>

00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:47.740
when<00:11:44.620><c> we</c><00:11:44.840><c> think</c><00:11:45.019><c> of</c><00:11:45.360><c> a</c><00:11:45.500><c> man</c><00:11:45.659><c> in</c><00:11:45.919><c> charge</c><00:11:46.100><c> of</c><00:11:46.240><c> 100</c><00:11:46.460><c> soldiers.</c>

00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:52.240
And<00:11:48.840><c> so</c><00:11:49.000><c> it's</c><00:11:49.299><c> interesting</c><00:11:49.759><c> that</c><00:11:50.100><c> this</c><00:11:50.620><c> centurion</c><00:11:51.379><c> is</c><00:11:51.759><c> very</c>

00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:54.440
concerned<00:11:52.879><c> about</c><00:11:53.200><c> his</c><00:11:53.539><c> servant.</c>

00:11:54.740 --> 00:11:58.039
It's<00:11:55.019><c> kind</c><00:11:55.159><c> of</c><00:11:55.419><c> uncharacteristic</c><00:11:56.500><c> of</c><00:11:56.779><c> what</c><00:11:56.980><c> we</c><00:11:57.240><c> would</c><00:11:57.480><c> visualize,</c>

00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:01.379
what<00:11:58.220><c> we</c><00:11:58.399><c> would</c><00:11:58.580><c> imagine</c><00:11:59.019><c> a</c><00:11:59.340><c> centurion</c><00:11:59.899><c> would</c><00:12:00.100><c> be</c><00:12:00.340><c> like.</c>

00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:06.019
But<00:12:03.200><c> he's</c><00:12:03.480><c> quite</c><00:12:03.720><c> concerned</c><00:12:04.179><c> because</c><00:12:04.519><c> his</c><00:12:04.820><c> servant</c><00:12:05.000><c> has</c><00:12:05.379><c> some</c>

00:12:06.019 --> 00:12:08.679
kind<00:12:06.600><c> of</c><00:12:06.980><c> a</c><00:12:07.500><c> disease.</c>

00:12:09.500 --> 00:12:12.000
Palsy,<00:12:09.820><c> we</c><00:12:09.980><c> are</c><00:12:10.259><c> told,</c><00:12:10.620><c> and</c><00:12:10.840><c> he's</c><00:12:11.100><c> suffering</c><00:12:11.419><c> greatly.</c>

00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:17.519
Might<00:12:13.039><c> have</c><00:12:13.259><c> been</c><00:12:13.539><c> some</c><00:12:14.000><c> kind</c><00:12:14.419><c> of</c><00:12:15.139><c> very</c><00:12:15.759><c> painful,</c><00:12:17.059><c> feverish</c>

00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:19.179
kind<00:12:17.720><c> of</c><00:12:17.899><c> thing</c><00:12:18.100><c> that</c><00:12:18.340><c> affected</c><00:12:18.720><c> muscles.</c>

00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:21.259
He's<00:12:19.460><c> not</c><00:12:19.620><c> able</c><00:12:19.860><c> to</c><00:12:20.080><c> move</c><00:12:20.259><c> around.</c>

00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:24.600
He's<00:12:21.860><c> in</c><00:12:22.080><c> agony,</c><00:12:22.500><c> and</c><00:12:23.220><c> I'm</c><00:12:23.559><c> concerned.</c>

00:12:25.220 --> 00:12:28.759
Somewhere,<00:12:25.779><c> somehow,</c><00:12:26.320><c> he</c><00:12:26.480><c> had</c><00:12:26.759><c> heard</c><00:12:27.000><c> about</c><00:12:27.340><c> the</c><00:12:27.620><c> healing</c><00:12:27.860><c> power</c><00:12:28.200><c> of</c><00:12:28.379><c> Jesus.</c>

00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:31.759
And<00:12:29.019><c> by</c><00:12:29.340><c> this</c><00:12:29.559><c> point,</c><00:12:29.799><c> we're</c><00:12:29.980><c> well</c><00:12:30.200><c> into</c><00:12:30.440><c> the</c><00:12:30.700><c> ministry.</c>

00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:34.980
Possibly<00:12:33.120><c> from</c><00:12:33.460><c> one</c><00:12:33.659><c> of</c><00:12:33.779><c> the</c><00:12:33.919><c> other</c><00:12:34.059><c> miracles</c><00:12:34.440><c> we</c><00:12:34.639><c> will</c><00:12:34.779><c> look</c>

00:12:34.980 --> 00:12:36.279
at<00:12:35.159><c> this</c><00:12:35.399><c> morning</c>

00:12:36.299 --> 00:12:39.179
from<00:12:36.820><c> the</c><00:12:37.139><c> healing</c><00:12:37.340><c> of</c><00:12:37.539><c> the</c><00:12:37.720><c> nobleman's</c><00:12:38.320><c> son</c><00:12:38.460><c> that</c><00:12:38.740><c> happened</c>

00:12:39.179 --> 00:12:41.039
actually<00:12:39.940><c> the</c><00:12:40.320><c> year</c><00:12:40.539><c> before.</c>

00:12:41.179 --> 00:12:43.860
Perhaps<00:12:41.519><c> he</c><00:12:41.720><c> even</c><00:12:41.940><c> knew</c><00:12:42.200><c> that</c><00:12:42.620><c> nobleman.</c>

00:12:44.659 --> 00:12:48.720
But<00:12:44.879><c> he</c><00:12:45.120><c> sends</c><00:12:45.379><c> the</c><00:12:45.899><c> delegation</c><00:12:46.440><c> of</c><00:12:46.679><c> the</c><00:12:46.879><c> Jews</c><00:12:47.159><c> to</c><00:12:47.460><c> Jesus.</c>

00:12:50.820 --> 00:12:54.860
Not<00:12:51.340><c> because</c><00:12:51.860><c> he</c><00:12:52.259><c> is</c><00:12:52.519><c> so</c><00:12:52.980><c> important</c><00:12:53.399><c> and</c><00:12:53.620><c> doesn't</c><00:12:53.899><c> have</c><00:12:54.159><c> enough</c><00:12:54.440><c> time</c>

00:12:54.860 --> 00:12:56.559
to<00:12:55.080><c> see</c><00:12:55.259><c> Jesus,</c>

00:12:57.500 --> 00:13:00.919
but<00:12:58.100><c> because</c><00:12:58.419><c> he</c><00:12:58.539><c> feels</c><00:12:58.840><c> himself</c><00:12:59.399><c> unworthy</c><00:13:00.100><c> to</c><00:13:00.320><c> come</c><00:13:00.539><c> in</c><00:13:00.740><c> the</c>

00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:04.600

00:13:05.980 --> 00:13:09.179
Now<00:13:06.179><c> Sunday,</c><00:13:06.600><c> we</c><00:13:06.740><c> talked</c><00:13:07.000><c> about</c><00:13:07.360><c> those</c><00:13:07.879><c> who</c><00:13:08.440><c> need</c><00:13:08.720><c> to</c><00:13:08.980><c> make</c>

themselves<00:13:09.840><c> small.</c>

00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:12.580
And<00:13:10.720><c> here's</c><00:13:10.940><c> a</c><00:13:11.159><c> perfect</c><00:13:11.460><c> example.</c>

00:13:13.700 --> 00:13:17.360
A<00:13:13.879><c> man</c><00:13:14.120><c> in</c><00:13:14.419><c> charge</c><00:13:14.740><c> of</c><00:13:15.000><c> a</c><00:13:15.080><c> hundred</c><00:13:15.419><c> men</c><00:13:15.779><c> who</c><00:13:16.120><c> tells</c><00:13:16.440><c> people</c><00:13:16.860><c> what</c><00:13:17.120><c> to</c>

00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:18.940
do,<00:13:17.620><c> and</c><00:13:17.700><c> they</c><00:13:17.899><c> do</c><00:13:18.139><c> it,</c>

00:13:19.779 --> 00:13:23.580
realizes<00:13:20.120><c> that</c><00:13:20.440><c> he</c><00:13:20.759><c> is</c><00:13:21.080><c> in</c><00:13:21.240><c> the</c><00:13:21.460><c> presence</c><00:13:21.960><c> of</c><00:13:22.419><c> one</c><00:13:22.779><c> that</c>

00:13:24.340 --> 00:13:27.340
he<00:13:25.100><c> shouldn't</c><00:13:25.399><c> be</c><00:13:25.700><c> in</c><00:13:25.860><c> and</c><00:13:25.980><c> is</c><00:13:26.179><c> not</c><00:13:26.340><c> worthy</c><00:13:26.639><c> to</c><00:13:26.840><c> be</c><00:13:27.039><c> in.</c>

00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:34.279
And<00:13:27.779><c> so</c><00:13:28.279><c> in</c><00:13:28.899><c> his</c><00:13:29.279><c> humility,</c><00:13:30.059><c> he</c><00:13:30.419><c> sends</c><00:13:30.960><c> this</c><00:13:31.500><c> delegation</c><00:13:32.139><c> to</c><00:13:33.120><c> ask,</c>

00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:40.220
not<00:13:35.000><c> command,</c><00:13:35.620><c> but</c><00:13:36.360><c> ask</c><00:13:37.139><c> that</c><00:13:38.179><c> consideration</c><00:13:39.019><c> be</c><00:13:39.340><c> given</c><00:13:39.740><c> for</c>

00:13:40.220 --> 00:13:44.440
his<00:13:40.860><c> servant</c><00:13:41.279><c> who</c><00:13:41.620><c> is</c><00:13:42.720><c> in</c><00:13:42.960><c> agony</c><00:13:43.340><c> at</c><00:13:43.659><c> home.</c>

00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:49.600
It's<00:13:47.279><c> a</c><00:13:47.320><c> wonderful</c><00:13:47.700><c> attitude,</c><00:13:48.159><c> brethren</c><00:13:48.480><c> and</c><00:13:48.740><c> sisters.</c>

00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:54.220
It<00:13:50.299><c> is</c><00:13:50.519><c> the</c><00:13:50.720><c> attitude</c><00:13:51.200><c> that</c><00:13:51.659><c> puts</c><00:13:51.940><c> us</c><00:13:52.299><c> on</c><00:13:52.639><c> our</c><00:13:52.879><c> knees</c><00:13:53.399><c> before</c>

00:30:35.880 --> 00:30:40.440
It<00:30:36.460><c> seems</c><00:30:36.859><c> a</c><00:30:37.160><c> little</c><00:30:37.299><c> hard</c><00:30:37.640><c> to</c><00:30:37.920><c> understand</c><00:30:38.400><c> how</c><00:30:38.799><c> a</c><00:30:39.160><c> Jew,</c><00:30:39.799><c> and</c><00:30:40.039><c> there</c><00:30:40.160><c> were</c><00:30:40.319><c> a</c>

00:30:48.380 --> 00:30:52.059
So<00:30:48.660><c> it</c><00:30:48.740><c> would</c><00:30:48.940><c> seem</c><00:30:49.119><c> to</c><00:30:49.319><c> be</c><00:30:49.539><c> that</c><00:30:49.740><c> if</c><00:30:49.960><c> he</c><00:30:50.180><c> was</c><00:30:50.420><c> a</c><00:30:50.619><c> Jew,</c><00:30:50.799><c> he</c><00:30:51.039><c> was</c><00:30:51.440><c> kind</c><00:30:51.700><c> of</c><00:30:51.880><c> a</c>

was<00:30:54.259><c> rubbing</c><00:30:54.599><c> shoulders</c><00:30:55.039><c> with</c><00:30:55.279><c> a</c><00:30:55.500><c> Herod</c><00:30:55.779><c> and</c><00:30:56.339><c> yet</c><00:30:56.500><c> still</c><00:30:56.819><c> being</c><00:30:57.180><c> a</c><00:30:57.440><c> Jew</c><00:30:57.559><c> at</c>

00:30:57.759 --> 00:31:00.519
the<00:30:57.920><c> same</c><00:30:58.180><c> time.</c><00:30:59.519><c> So</c><00:30:59.759><c> the</c><00:31:00.019><c> suggestion</c>

00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:05.759
has<00:31:00.900><c> been</c><00:31:01.180><c> made</c><00:31:01.619><c> that</c><00:31:02.000><c> this</c><00:31:02.799><c> official,</c><00:31:04.200><c> this</c><00:31:04.440><c> royal</c><00:31:04.799><c> official</c>

00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:10.519
whose<00:31:06.339><c> son</c><00:31:06.640><c> lay</c><00:31:06.880><c> sick</c><00:31:07.220><c> at</c><00:31:07.559><c> Capernaum</c><00:31:08.299><c> was</c><00:31:09.259><c> gentile.</c>

00:31:12.740 --> 00:31:15.980
When<00:31:13.339><c> this</c><00:31:13.619><c> man</c><00:31:13.799><c> heard</c><00:31:14.140><c> that</c><00:31:14.339><c> Jesus</c><00:31:14.680><c> had</c><00:31:15.000><c> arrived</c><00:31:15.299><c> in</c><00:31:15.559><c> Galilee</c>

00:31:15.980 --> 00:31:18.359
from<00:31:16.299><c> Judea,</c><00:31:16.839><c> he</c><00:31:16.960><c> went</c><00:31:17.200><c> to</c><00:31:17.420><c> him</c><00:31:17.740><c> and</c><00:31:18.039><c> begged</c>

00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:22.200
him<00:31:18.579><c> to</c><00:31:18.819><c> come</c><00:31:19.119><c> and</c><00:31:19.440><c> heal</c><00:31:19.640><c> his</c><00:31:20.019><c> son</c><00:31:20.299><c> who</c><00:31:20.480><c> was</c><00:31:20.799><c> close</c><00:31:21.119><c> to</c><00:31:21.359><c> death.</c>

00:31:23.380 --> 00:31:26.259
So<00:31:23.579><c> this</c><00:31:23.740><c> is</c><00:31:23.900><c> more</c><00:31:24.140><c> than</c><00:31:24.519><c> pain</c><00:31:24.960><c> and</c><00:31:25.400><c> fever.</c>

00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:31.000
This<00:31:27.759><c> is</c><00:31:28.380><c> close</c><00:31:28.740><c> to</c><00:31:28.980><c> death.</c><00:31:29.339><c> This</c><00:31:29.519><c> is</c><00:31:29.700><c> very</c><00:31:30.000><c> early</c><00:31:30.160><c> in</c><00:31:30.299><c> the</c><00:31:30.480><c> ministry</c><00:31:30.819><c> of</c>

00:31:38.259 --> 00:31:41.180
this<00:31:38.480><c> is</c><00:31:38.720><c> within</c><00:31:39.039><c> the</c><00:31:39.700><c> context</c><00:31:40.380><c> of</c>

the<00:31:46.039><c> Lord's</c><00:31:46.500><c> ministry</c><00:31:46.799><c> was</c><00:31:47.200><c> skepticism.</c>

00:31:49.559 --> 00:31:54.119
Maybe<00:31:49.960><c> he</c><00:31:50.180><c> had</c><00:31:50.400><c> heard</c><00:31:51.119><c> enough</c><00:31:51.759><c> but</c><00:31:52.059><c> not</c><00:31:52.619><c> quite</c><00:31:52.880><c> enough</c><00:31:53.299><c> to</c><00:31:53.859><c> be</c>

00:31:54.119 --> 00:31:56.880

00:31:59.539 --> 00:32:04.859
