00:32:38.660 --> 00:32:42.619
So<00:32:38.759><c> you</c><00:32:38.819><c> can</c><00:32:39.000><c> imagine,</c><00:32:39.680><c> he's</c><00:32:39.779><c> been</c><00:32:39.960><c> up</c><00:32:40.079><c> in</c><00:32:40.180><c> the</c><00:32:40.299><c> mount</c><00:32:40.500><c> and</c><00:32:40.700><c> he's</c><00:32:40.940><c> received</c><00:32:41.579><c> the</c><00:32:41.839><c> law.</c>

So<00:33:30.680><c> here's</c><00:33:31.000><c> this</c><00:33:31.339><c> law.</c>

00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:34.180

00:38:46.880 --> 00:38:51.260
or<00:38:46.980><c> the</c><00:38:47.260><c> crowd,</c><00:38:48.119><c> he</c><00:38:48.380><c> went</c><00:38:48.760><c> up</c><00:38:49.679><c> into</c><00:38:50.199><c> a</c><00:38:50.360><c> mountain.</c>

00:38:52.380 --> 00:38:53.780
That's<00:38:52.659><c> the</c><00:38:52.760><c> first</c><00:38:52.940><c> thing</c><00:38:53.139><c> we</c><00:38:53.340><c> observe.</c>

00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:56.480
The<00:38:54.239><c> Lord</c><00:38:54.460><c> went</c><00:38:54.780><c> up</c><00:38:55.139><c> into</c><00:38:55.420><c> a</c><00:38:55.559><c> mountain.</c>

00:38:57.760 --> 00:38:59.380
That's<00:38:58.320><c> interesting.</c>

00:39:00.219 --> 00:39:02.460
Who<00:39:00.400><c> can</c><00:39:00.639><c> think</c><00:39:00.940><c> of</c><00:39:01.480><c> some</c><00:39:01.699><c> other</c><00:39:01.980><c> occasion</c>

00:39:02.460 --> 00:39:05.099
where<00:39:03.179><c> the</c><00:39:03.420><c> Lord</c><00:39:03.739><c> went</c><00:39:04.119><c> up</c><00:39:04.440><c> into</c><00:39:04.719><c> a</c><00:39:04.840><c> mountain</c>

00:39:05.099 --> 00:39:07.579
during<00:39:05.519><c> his</c><00:39:05.960><c> ministry</c><00:39:06.300><c> on</c><00:39:06.519><c> the</c><00:39:06.659><c> earth?</c>

00:39:10.300 --> 00:39:12.199
He<00:39:10.440><c> went</c><00:39:10.579><c> up</c><00:39:10.800><c> into</c><00:39:11.059><c> a</c><00:39:11.199><c> mountain.</c>

00:39:14.920 --> 00:39:16.440
Yeah,<00:39:16.019><c> there's</c><00:39:16.300><c> one.</c>

00:39:16.539 --> 00:39:17.539
There's<00:39:16.760><c> many,</c><00:39:17.539><c> many.</c>

00:39:17.780 --> 00:39:19.980
The<00:39:18.219><c> transfiguration's</c><00:39:19.159><c> one.</c>

00:39:20.519 --> 00:39:21.900
Went<00:39:20.659><c> up</c><00:39:20.880><c> to</c><00:39:21.099><c> pray.</c>

00:39:22.980 --> 00:39:26.340
So<00:39:23.539><c> immediately,</c><00:39:24.800><c> and</c><00:39:25.019><c> it'd</c><00:39:25.300><c> be</c><00:39:25.440><c> a</c><00:39:25.500><c> good</c><00:39:25.679><c> little</c><00:39:25.900><c> exercise,</c>

00:39:26.340 --> 00:39:28.380
just<00:39:26.579><c> a</c><00:39:26.920><c> very</c><00:39:27.280><c> simple</c><00:39:27.639><c> concordance</c><00:39:28.260><c> run,</c>

00:39:28.500 --> 00:39:30.440
you<00:39:28.579><c> just</c><00:39:28.880><c> look</c><00:39:29.079><c> at</c><00:39:29.380><c> the</c><00:39:29.480><c> Lord</c><00:39:29.619><c> going</c><00:39:29.860><c> up</c><00:39:30.019><c> to</c><00:39:30.159><c> a</c><00:39:30.239><c> mountain,</c>

00:39:30.539 --> 00:39:32.739
up<00:39:30.679><c> to</c><00:39:30.780><c> a</c><00:39:30.900><c> mountain,</c><00:39:31.320><c> and</c><00:39:31.340><c> invariably,</c>

00:39:33.559 --> 00:39:36.179
when<00:39:33.699><c> you</c><00:39:33.820><c> go</c><00:39:34.099><c> through</c><00:39:34.440><c> that</c><00:39:34.920><c> and</c><00:39:34.960><c> do</c><00:39:35.199><c> that</c><00:39:35.420><c> little</c><00:39:35.559><c> exercise,</c>

00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:40.039
you're<00:39:36.820><c> actually</c><00:39:37.300><c> stunned</c><00:39:37.639><c> to</c><00:39:37.800><c> find</c><00:39:38.119><c> that</c><00:39:38.500><c> a</c><00:39:38.719><c> very</c><00:39:39.280><c> special</c><00:39:39.659><c> event</c>

00:39:40.039 --> 00:39:42.980
or<00:39:40.400><c> a</c><00:39:40.400><c> very</c><00:39:40.860><c> special</c><00:39:41.119><c> episode's</c><00:39:41.699><c> about</c><00:39:41.880><c> to</c><00:39:42.139><c> happen.</c>

00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:49.800
So<00:39:44.320><c> Matthew</c><00:39:44.639><c> says</c><00:39:45.500><c> here</c><00:39:46.119><c> that</c><00:39:47.199><c> the</c><00:39:47.360><c> Lord</c><00:39:47.579><c> went</c><00:39:47.900><c> up</c><00:39:48.380><c> into</c><00:39:48.679><c> a</c><00:39:48.840><c> mountain.</c>

00:39:53.539 --> 00:39:56.420
And<00:39:54.099><c> then</c><00:39:54.519><c> secondly,</c><00:39:55.239><c> we</c><00:39:55.400><c> read,</c>

00:39:56.480 --> 00:39:59.260
and<00:39:56.579><c> when</c><00:39:56.920><c> he</c><00:39:57.260><c> was</c><00:39:57.880><c> set,</c>

00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:05.460
then,<00:40:01.179><c> and</c><00:40:01.559><c> only</c><00:40:01.940><c> then,</c><00:40:03.039><c> his</c><00:40:03.280><c> disciples</c><00:40:03.860><c> came</c><00:40:04.139><c> unto</c><00:40:04.400><c> him.</c>

00:40:06.719 --> 00:40:08.619
So<00:40:07.079><c> that</c><00:40:07.280><c> tells</c><00:40:07.519><c> us</c><00:40:07.760><c> a</c><00:40:07.900><c> lot,</c><00:40:08.199><c> doesn't</c><00:40:08.400><c> it?</c>

00:40:08.699 --> 00:40:09.820
He<00:40:08.920><c> went</c><00:40:09.039><c> up</c><00:40:09.280><c> to</c><00:40:09.460><c> a</c><00:40:09.559><c> mountain,</c>

00:40:10.059 --> 00:40:11.860
a<00:40:10.260><c> very</c><00:40:10.679><c> special</c><00:40:10.960><c> event's</c><00:40:11.300><c> about</c><00:40:11.440><c> to</c><00:40:11.579><c> happen,</c>

00:40:12.139 --> 00:40:15.280
and<00:40:12.320><c> when</c><00:40:12.480><c> he</c><00:40:13.579><c> had</c><00:40:13.800><c> sat</c><00:40:14.019><c> down,</c>

00:40:16.179 --> 00:40:18.619
his<00:40:16.460><c> disciples</c><00:40:16.900><c> come</c><00:40:17.159><c> to</c><00:40:17.320><c> him.</c>

00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:22.300
And<00:40:20.500><c> it's</c><00:40:20.719><c> as</c><00:40:20.920><c> though</c><00:40:21.099><c> Matthew</c><00:40:21.460><c> here</c><00:40:21.719><c> in</c><00:40:21.840><c> the</c><00:40:22.039><c> record</c>

sat<00:40:24.820><c> down,</c>

00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:29.300

00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:30.900
He<00:40:29.860><c> sat</c><00:40:30.159><c> down.</c>

00:40:31.219 --> 00:40:33.900
And<00:40:31.460><c> there</c><00:40:31.559><c> was</c><00:40:31.760><c> a</c><00:40:31.920><c> sense</c><00:40:32.179><c> of</c><00:40:32.519><c> respect</c><00:40:33.099><c> and</c><00:40:33.440><c> reverence,</c>

00:40:34.059 --> 00:40:38.260
because<00:40:34.179><c> when</c><00:40:34.400><c> he</c><00:40:34.559><c> was</c><00:40:34.860><c> set,</c><00:40:35.380><c> then</c><00:40:35.840><c> the</c><00:40:36.139><c> disciples</c><00:40:36.539><c> came</c><00:40:36.840><c> to</c><00:40:36.960><c> him.</c>

00:40:39.079 --> 00:40:42.480
And<00:40:39.579><c> they</c><00:40:39.820><c> came</c><00:40:40.099><c> to</c><00:40:40.280><c> him</c><00:40:40.619><c> as</c><00:40:40.940><c> a</c><00:40:41.119><c> teacher,</c><00:40:41.579><c> as</c><00:40:41.860><c> a</c><00:40:42.039><c> disciple,</c>

00:40:46.579 --> 00:40:50.000
And<00:40:47.380><c> then</c><00:40:47.619><c> we</c><00:40:47.760><c> read</c><00:40:48.159><c> in</c><00:40:48.340><c> verse</c><00:40:48.920><c> 2,</c>

00:44:03.960 --> 00:44:05.519
It's<00:44:04.179><c> hard.</c>

00:44:07.260 --> 00:44:09.579
And<00:44:07.360><c> we've</c><00:44:07.579><c> got</c><00:44:07.579><c> to</c><00:44:07.639><c> go</c><00:44:07.920><c> to</c><00:44:08.099><c> the</c><00:44:08.159><c> top</c><00:44:08.300><c> of</c><00:44:08.440><c> that</c><00:44:08.639><c> hill.</c>

00:49:42.679 --> 00:49:44.920
We've<00:49:42.800><c> got</c><00:49:42.860><c> to</c><00:49:42.940><c> get</c><00:49:43.079><c> into</c><00:49:43.219><c> a</c><00:49:43.440><c> large</c><00:49:43.679><c> place.</c>

That's<00:49:56.000><c> the</c><00:49:56.159><c> great</c><00:49:56.420><c> challenge.</c>

00:49:58.059 --> 00:50:00.420
But<00:49:58.460><c> meanwhile,</c><00:49:58.800><c> we're</c><00:49:59.039><c> just</c><00:49:59.239><c> plowing</c><00:49:59.559><c> along,</c><00:50:00.159><c> plowing</c>
