00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:48.080
Who's<00:08:44.840><c> involved?</c><00:08:45.899><c> When</c><00:08:46.139><c> does</c><00:08:46.379><c> it</c><00:08:46.539><c> take</c><00:08:46.840><c> place?</c><00:08:47.539><c> Where</c><00:08:47.860><c> does</c>

it<00:08:48.220><c> take</c><00:08:48.559><c> place?</c><00:08:49.179><c> What</c><00:08:49.539><c> happens?</c><00:08:50.559><c> Why</c><00:08:50.899><c> does</c><00:08:51.080><c> it</c><00:08:51.240><c> happen?</c>

00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:54.220
And<00:08:51.840><c> so</c><00:08:52.200><c> what,</c><00:08:52.419><c> meaning</c><00:08:52.860><c> what's</c><00:08:53.580><c> the</c><00:08:53.679><c> lesson</c><00:08:53.879><c> for</c><00:08:54.019><c> you</c><00:08:54.179><c> and</c>

what's<00:08:54.440><c> the</c><00:08:54.519><c> lesson</c><00:08:54.679><c> for</c><00:08:54.840><c> me?</c>

00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:59.500
Now<00:08:55.899><c> it's</c><00:08:56.100><c> very</c><00:08:56.360><c> important</c><00:08:56.779><c> because</c><00:08:57.440><c> we</c><00:08:58.220><c> all</c><00:08:58.600><c> know</c><00:08:59.059><c> the</c><00:08:59.379><c> story</c>

00:09:00.419 --> 00:09:03.580
In<00:09:00.460><c> many</c><00:09:00.720><c> ways,</c><00:09:01.299><c> Samson</c><00:09:01.460><c> is</c><00:09:01.720><c> the</c><00:09:02.440><c> Old</c><00:09:02.740><c> Testament</c><00:09:03.059><c> version</c><00:09:03.399><c> of</c>

wasted<00:09:07.139><c> it.</c>

00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:10.360
That's<00:09:07.460><c> what</c><00:09:07.720><c> prodigal</c><00:09:08.019><c> means,</c><00:09:08.779><c> a</c><00:09:08.940><c> waster,</c><00:09:09.779><c> somebody</c><00:09:09.980><c> who's</c>

wasting<00:09:11.080><c> spendthrift,</c><00:09:11.940><c> it</c><00:09:12.000><c> means</c><00:09:12.139><c> he</c><00:09:12.200><c> doesn't</c><00:09:12.440><c> care</c><00:09:12.720><c> what</c><00:09:12.879><c> he</c>

00:09:13.059 --> 00:09:15.879

00:09:16.980 --> 00:09:20.759
Now,<00:09:17.500><c> sometimes</c><00:09:18.019><c> if</c><00:09:18.860><c> you</c><00:09:19.039><c> have</c><00:09:19.159><c> a</c><00:09:19.299><c> New</c><00:09:19.419><c> International</c><00:09:19.860><c> version</c><00:09:20.220><c> or</c><00:09:20.419><c> even</c><00:09:20.620><c> a</c>

00:09:23.659 --> 00:09:28.320
Sometimes<00:09:24.179><c> the</c><00:09:24.700><c> titles</c><00:09:25.399><c> of</c><00:09:26.399><c> the</c><00:09:26.559><c> scriptures</c><00:09:26.820><c> are</c><00:09:27.139><c> helpful,</c>

00:09:29.340 --> 00:09:32.019

00:09:32.019 --> 00:09:36.139
And<00:09:32.419><c> in</c><00:09:32.580><c> this</c><00:09:32.860><c> case,</c><00:09:33.159><c> it's</c><00:09:33.320><c> not</c><00:09:33.639><c> helpful</c><00:09:34.279><c> because</c><00:09:35.039><c> we</c><00:09:35.340><c> know</c><00:09:35.539><c> the</c><00:09:35.799><c> story</c><00:09:35.940><c> of</c>

00:09:42.659 --> 00:09:47.759
When<00:09:42.779><c> we</c><00:09:43.559><c> learn</c><00:09:44.000><c> the</c><00:09:44.799><c> parable</c><00:09:45.159><c> of</c><00:09:45.340><c> the</c><00:09:45.580><c> prodigal</c><00:09:46.080><c> son,</c><00:09:47.120><c> we</c><00:09:47.259><c> concentrate</c><00:09:47.539><c> on</c>

00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:49.820
the<00:09:47.940><c> wrong</c><00:09:48.500><c> character.</c>

00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:54.120
We<00:09:50.139><c> sometimes</c><00:09:50.559><c> call</c><00:09:50.740><c> it</c><00:09:50.980><c> the</c><00:09:51.220><c> prodigal</c><00:09:51.879><c> son</c><00:09:52.240><c> or</c><00:09:52.779><c> the</c><00:09:53.240><c> lost</c><00:09:53.559><c> son.</c>

00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:57.940
But<00:09:54.659><c> actually,</c><00:09:55.039><c> we</c><00:09:55.399><c> all</c><00:09:55.620><c> know</c><00:09:55.700><c> there</c><00:09:55.820><c> are</c><00:09:55.980><c> no</c><00:09:56.220><c> titles</c><00:09:56.740><c> in</c><00:09:57.059><c> scripture.</c>

But<00:10:16.419><c> always</c><00:10:16.679><c> know</c><00:10:17.039><c> that</c><00:10:17.220><c> you</c><00:10:17.340><c> can</c><00:10:17.580><c> always</c><00:10:17.840><c> come</c><00:10:18.080><c> back</c><00:10:18.360><c> home</c>

00:10:18.580 --> 00:10:19.080
and<00:10:18.679><c> all</c><00:10:18.799><c> the</c><00:10:18.919><c> rest.</c>

00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:21.539
And<00:10:19.279><c> I</c><00:10:19.299><c> think</c><00:10:19.480><c> sometimes</c><00:10:20.159><c> because</c><00:10:20.600><c> we</c><00:10:20.799><c> do</c><00:10:21.039><c> that,</c><00:10:21.279><c> every</c><00:10:21.399><c> time</c>

00:10:21.539 --> 00:10:23.759
we<00:10:21.700><c> read</c><00:10:21.840><c> it,</c><00:10:22.000><c> I</c><00:10:22.379><c> know</c><00:10:22.659><c> this</c><00:10:23.019><c> one.</c>

00:10:24.100 --> 00:10:27.580
And<00:10:24.659><c> we</c><00:10:24.879><c> don't</c><00:10:25.220><c> really</c><00:10:25.539><c> take</c><00:10:25.759><c> up</c><00:10:25.879><c> the</c><00:10:26.059><c> full</c><00:10:26.340><c> message</c><00:10:26.820><c> of</c><00:10:27.039><c> this</c><00:10:27.340><c> parable.</c>

00:10:27.740 --> 00:10:30.840
Now,<00:10:27.860><c> this</c><00:10:28.000><c> parable</c><00:10:28.399><c> has</c><00:10:29.000><c> lots</c><00:10:29.360><c> of</c><00:10:29.620><c> very</c><00:10:29.840><c> important</c><00:10:30.419><c> lessons.</c>

00:10:30.980 --> 00:10:35.220
And<00:10:31.059><c> I</c><00:10:31.159><c> hope</c><00:10:31.740><c> by</c><00:10:32.360><c> that</c><00:10:32.580><c> introduction,</c><00:10:33.100><c> we're</c><00:10:33.299><c> going</c><00:10:33.399><c> to</c><00:10:33.519><c> try</c><00:10:33.720><c> and</c><00:10:33.799><c> look</c><00:10:34.000><c> at</c><00:10:34.159><c> it</c><00:10:34.340><c> in</c><00:10:34.779><c> a</c>

00:10:35.220 --> 00:10:35.919

00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:38.679
First<00:10:36.320><c> of</c><00:10:36.519><c> all,</c><00:10:37.100><c> who's</c><00:10:37.500><c> in</c><00:10:37.620><c> the</c><00:10:37.779><c> chapter?</c>

00:10:39.059 --> 00:10:41.639
Now,<00:10:40.440><c> let's</c><00:10:40.720><c> answer</c><00:10:40.919><c> that</c><00:10:41.159><c> question.</c>

00:10:42.139 --> 00:10:49.600
Now,<00:10:43.120><c> by</c><00:10:43.320><c> asking</c><00:10:44.080><c> a</c><00:10:44.340><c> question,</c><00:10:45.639><c> is</c><00:10:45.779><c> a</c><00:10:46.139><c> sin</c><00:10:46.460><c> a</c><00:10:47.480><c> sin,</c><00:10:48.519><c> a</c><00:10:48.779><c> sin,</c><00:10:49.240><c> a</c><00:10:49.440><c> sin?</c>

00:10:49.659 --> 00:10:52.399
Is<00:10:49.840><c> there</c><00:10:50.019><c> any</c><00:10:50.379><c> difference</c><00:10:51.100><c> between</c><00:10:52.000><c> sins?</c>

00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:55.360
Now,<00:10:53.360><c> when</c><00:10:53.559><c> I</c><00:10:53.659><c> was</c><00:10:53.779><c> young,</c><00:10:53.980><c> we</c><00:10:54.100><c> used</c><00:10:54.299><c> to</c><00:10:54.799><c> argue</c><00:10:55.019><c> about</c><00:10:55.220><c> this</c>

00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:56.659
all<00:10:55.580><c> the</c><00:10:55.779><c> time.</c>

00:10:56.740 --> 00:10:59.840
Now,<00:10:56.899><c> in</c><00:10:57.100><c> your</c><00:10:57.320><c> mind,</c><00:10:57.740><c> depending</c><00:10:58.120><c> on</c><00:10:58.360><c> your</c><00:10:58.539><c> spiritual</c><00:10:59.120><c> upbringing</c><00:10:59.480><c> and</c>

00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:00.639
what<00:11:00.100><c> you've</c><00:11:00.279><c> been</c><00:11:00.500><c> taught,</c>

00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:02.960
you<00:11:00.740><c> may</c><00:11:00.940><c> say,</c><00:11:01.200><c> yeah,</c><00:11:01.440><c> of</c><00:11:01.600><c> course</c><00:11:01.700><c> there's</c><00:11:01.919><c> a</c><00:11:02.059><c> difference.</c>

00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:06.220
Or<00:11:03.320><c> depending</c><00:11:03.460><c> on</c><00:11:05.080><c> whoever</c><00:11:05.379><c> taught</c><00:11:05.679><c> you</c><00:11:05.820><c> when</c><00:11:05.899><c> you</c><00:11:05.960><c> were</c><00:11:06.019><c> young,</c><00:11:06.200><c> you</c>

00:11:06.220 --> 00:11:08.840
might<00:11:06.399><c> think,</c><00:11:06.580><c> no,</c><00:11:06.899><c> no,</c><00:11:07.580><c> no,</c><00:11:07.700><c> there's</c><00:11:08.460><c> no</c><00:11:08.620><c> difference.</c>

00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:10.500
Now,<00:11:09.360><c> just</c><00:11:09.539><c> answer</c><00:11:09.740><c> the</c><00:11:09.879><c> question</c><00:11:10.059><c> in</c><00:11:10.220><c> your</c><00:11:10.279><c> head.</c>

00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:13.659
Is<00:11:11.000><c> there</c><00:11:11.159><c> any</c><00:11:11.379><c> difference</c><00:11:12.000><c> between</c><00:11:13.100><c> sins?</c>

00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:16.399
If<00:11:14.100><c> you're</c><00:11:14.279><c> a</c><00:11:14.500><c> sinner,</c><00:11:14.899><c> you're</c><00:11:15.100><c> a</c><00:11:15.220><c> sin,</c><00:11:15.700><c> it's</c><00:11:15.899><c> a</c><00:11:16.039><c> sin,</c><00:11:16.220><c> it's</c><00:11:16.320><c> a</c>

sin,<00:11:16.580><c> it's</c><00:11:16.740><c> a</c><00:11:16.799><c> sin,</c><00:11:16.940><c> it's</c><00:11:17.059><c> a</c><00:11:17.159><c> sin,</c><00:11:17.320><c> it's</c><00:11:17.480><c> just</c><00:11:17.600><c> all</c><00:11:17.799><c> the</c><00:11:17.960><c> same.</c>

00:11:18.100 --> 00:11:20.259
I<00:11:18.419><c> mean,</c><00:11:18.879><c> it's</c><00:11:19.019><c> all</c><00:11:19.200><c> transgression</c><00:11:19.539><c> of</c><00:11:19.700><c> the</c><00:11:19.840><c> law.</c>

00:11:20.700 --> 00:11:23.179
It's<00:11:21.019><c> all</c><00:11:21.240><c> disobedience</c><00:11:21.759><c> of</c><00:11:21.899><c> the</c><00:11:22.019><c> law's</c><00:11:22.340><c> commands.</c>

00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:26.419
And<00:11:25.440><c> there's</c><00:11:25.799><c> no</c><00:11:25.980><c> difference.</c>

00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:28.100
Should<00:11:27.059><c> we</c><00:11:27.139><c> take</c><00:11:27.279><c> a</c><00:11:27.399><c> vote?</c>

00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:30.759
No,<00:11:29.299><c> we</c><00:11:29.440><c> won't.</c>

00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.059
No,<00:11:31.480><c> it</c><00:11:31.759><c> doesn't</c><00:11:31.980><c> matter</c><00:11:32.240><c> anyway.</c>

00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:34.639
All<00:11:33.840><c> right,</c><00:11:33.960><c> next</c><00:11:34.200><c> question.</c>

00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:36.639
Well,<00:11:34.960><c> you've</c><00:11:35.100><c> answered,</c><00:11:35.340><c> okay,</c><00:11:35.620><c> first</c><00:11:35.799><c> of</c><00:11:35.879><c> all,</c><00:11:35.960><c> you've</c><00:11:36.100><c> answered</c><00:11:36.179><c> that</c><00:11:36.299><c> question</c><00:11:36.500><c> in</c>

00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:37.740
your<00:11:36.720><c> heads,</c><00:11:37.000><c> right?</c>

00:11:38.019 --> 00:11:39.779
Is<00:11:38.179><c> there</c><00:11:38.320><c> any</c><00:11:38.500><c> difference</c><00:11:38.740><c> between</c><00:11:39.019><c> sins?</c>

00:11:40.580 --> 00:11:43.200
No,<00:11:40.980><c> no,</c><00:11:41.059><c> in</c><00:11:41.200><c> your</c><00:11:41.419><c> head,</c><00:11:41.539><c> in</c><00:11:41.659><c> your</c><00:11:41.820><c> head,</c><00:11:41.980><c> in</c><00:11:42.139><c> your</c><00:11:42.240><c> head.</c>

00:11:43.500 --> 00:11:44.059
All<00:11:43.700><c> right.</c>

00:11:44.059 --> 00:11:45.980
Second<00:11:44.720><c> question.</c>

00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:49.220
Is<00:11:46.299><c> there</c><00:11:46.539><c> any,</c><00:11:46.799><c> if</c><00:11:47.139><c> you're</c><00:11:47.440><c> a</c><00:11:47.580><c> sinner,</c><00:11:48.080><c> you're</c><00:11:48.379><c> a</c><00:11:48.539><c> sinner,</c><00:11:48.820><c> you're</c><00:11:49.000><c> a</c><00:11:49.100><c> sinner.</c>

00:11:49.340 --> 00:11:53.820
Is<00:11:49.419><c> there</c><00:11:49.559><c> any,</c><00:11:49.899><c> if</c><00:11:50.159><c> you</c><00:11:50.539><c> sin,</c><00:11:50.980><c> is</c><00:11:51.100><c> there</c><00:11:51.259><c> any,</c><00:11:52.620><c> well,</c><00:11:53.519><c> Scripture</c><00:11:53.539><c> says,</c>

00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:54.940
we've<00:11:54.200><c> all</c><00:11:54.639><c> sinned.</c>

00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:57.379
We've<00:11:55.539><c> all</c><00:11:55.879><c> fallen</c><00:11:56.159><c> short</c><00:11:56.480><c> of</c><00:11:56.620><c> the</c><00:11:56.759><c> glory</c><00:11:56.940><c> of</c><00:11:57.159><c> God.</c>

00:11:57.460 --> 00:11:59.039
And<00:11:57.639><c> therefore,</c><00:11:57.960><c> are</c><00:11:58.139><c> we</c><00:11:58.259><c> all</c><00:11:58.460><c> sinners,</c><00:11:58.779><c> correct?</c>

00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:01.379
Is<00:11:59.539><c> anything</c><00:11:59.820><c> worse</c><00:12:00.159><c> than</c><00:12:00.279><c> being</c><00:12:00.480><c> a</c><00:12:00.679><c> sinner?</c>

00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:03.460
Hmm?

00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:06.100
You<00:12:05.019><c> say</c><00:12:05.159><c> no.</c>

00:12:06.820 --> 00:12:08.559
Well,<00:12:06.919><c> look</c><00:12:07.080><c> at</c><00:12:07.200><c> verse</c><00:12:07.480><c> one.</c>

00:12:09.500 --> 00:12:10.759
What<00:12:09.840><c> does</c><00:12:09.919><c> it</c><00:12:10.039><c> say?</c>

00:12:12.100 --> 00:12:17.440
In<00:12:12.600><c> some</c><00:12:12.840><c> versions,</c><00:12:13.200><c> it</c><00:12:13.340><c> should</c><00:12:13.620><c> say,</c><00:12:14.879><c> publicans</c><00:12:15.679><c> and</c><00:12:16.919><c> sinners.</c>

00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:19.340
That's<00:12:17.759><c> interesting,</c><00:12:18.159><c> isn't</c><00:12:18.299><c> it?</c>

00:12:19.539 --> 00:12:22.820

and<00:12:23.100><c> sinners.</c>

00:12:23.340 --> 00:12:24.720
What's<00:12:23.620><c> the</c><00:12:23.740><c> difference?</c>

00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:27.000
Yeah.

00:12:27.139 --> 00:12:31.919
In<00:12:27.600><c> first</c><00:12:27.820><c> century</c><00:12:28.179><c> thought</c><00:12:28.620><c> in</c><00:12:29.419><c> Israel,</c><00:12:30.340><c> they</c><00:12:30.519><c> actually</c><00:12:30.940><c> thought</c><00:12:31.360><c> you</c>

00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:33.240

00:12:33.259 --> 00:12:35.519
You<00:12:33.379><c> could</c><00:12:33.580><c> be</c><00:12:33.799><c> a</c><00:12:34.059><c> tax</c><00:12:34.480><c> collector.</c>

00:12:35.620 --> 00:12:38.139
I<00:12:35.720><c> mean,</c><00:12:36.059><c> as</c><00:12:36.259><c> bad</c><00:12:36.399><c> as</c><00:12:36.580><c> you</c><00:12:36.779><c> were,</c><00:12:37.240><c> as</c><00:12:37.440><c> bad</c><00:12:37.659><c> as</c><00:12:37.820><c> you</c><00:12:38.000><c> were.</c>

00:12:38.139 --> 00:12:38.759
No,<00:12:38.259><c> it's</c><00:12:38.460><c> true.</c>

00:12:38.980 --> 00:12:40.779
Well,<00:12:39.200><c> I'll</c><00:12:39.379><c> prove</c><00:12:39.539><c> it</c><00:12:39.740><c> to</c><00:12:39.820><c> you.</c>

00:12:41.419 --> 00:12:42.679
It's<00:12:41.620><c> the</c><00:12:41.620><c> way</c><00:12:41.799><c> it</c><00:12:42.000><c> is</c><00:12:42.100><c> today.</c>

00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:44.460
It's<00:12:42.679><c> the</c><00:12:42.679><c> way</c><00:12:43.320><c> it</c><00:12:43.360><c> is</c><00:12:43.580><c> today.</c>

00:12:45.179 --> 00:12:46.080
Okay.

00:12:46.539 --> 00:12:49.139
We'll<00:12:46.940><c> go</c><00:12:47.259><c> back</c><00:12:47.679><c> to</c><00:12:47.879><c> that</c><00:12:48.039><c> in</c><00:12:48.200><c> a</c><00:12:48.379><c> second.</c>

00:12:49.580 --> 00:12:50.720
Yeah,<00:12:49.759><c> it</c><00:12:49.899><c> is</c><00:12:50.259><c> true.</c>

00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:54.860
According<00:12:51.360><c> to</c><00:12:51.700><c> the</c><00:12:52.320><c> way</c><00:12:52.600><c> in</c><00:12:52.720><c> which</c><00:12:53.379><c> Jewish</c><00:12:53.639><c> people</c><00:12:53.960><c> thought,</c>

00:12:55.139 --> 00:12:58.019
you<00:12:55.259><c> could</c><00:12:55.419><c> actually</c><00:12:55.659><c> be</c><00:12:56.320><c> worse</c><00:12:57.080><c> than</c><00:12:57.759><c> a</c><00:12:57.919><c> sinner.</c>

00:12:58.019 --> 00:13:00.600

00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:05.240
I<00:13:00.700><c> mean,</c><00:13:00.899><c> look,</c><00:13:01.179><c> it</c><00:13:01.320><c> says,</c><00:13:01.980><c> now</c><00:13:02.200><c> the</c><00:13:02.879><c> tax</c><00:13:03.159><c> collectors</c><00:13:03.639><c> and</c><00:13:04.399><c> sinners,</c><00:13:05.100><c> as</c>

00:13:07.100 --> 00:13:08.759
And<00:13:07.600><c> it's</c><00:13:07.759><c> not</c><00:13:07.980><c> just</c><00:13:08.179><c> there.</c>

00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:12.120
Turn<00:13:09.240><c> back</c><00:13:09.580><c> to</c><00:13:09.779><c> Luke</c><00:13:09.960><c> chapter</c><00:13:10.259><c> 5,</c><00:13:10.779><c> verse</c><00:13:10.960><c> 30.</c>

00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:17.480
And<00:13:15.639><c> if</c><00:13:15.779><c> you</c><00:13:16.279><c> check</c><00:13:16.759><c> it</c><00:13:16.940><c> out</c><00:13:17.039><c> for</c><00:13:17.179><c> yourself.</c>

00:13:25.139 --> 00:13:27.059
The<00:13:25.299><c> Pharisees</c><00:13:25.919><c> believed</c><00:13:26.259><c> it</c><00:13:26.460><c> as</c><00:13:26.639><c> well.</c>

00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:29.139

00:13:29.139 --> 00:13:32.500
But<00:13:29.559><c> the</c><00:13:29.840><c> Pharisees</c><00:13:30.500><c> and</c><00:13:30.860><c> the</c><00:13:31.080><c> teachers</c><00:13:31.279><c> of</c><00:13:31.480><c> the</c><00:13:31.500><c> law,</c><00:13:31.740><c> who</c><00:13:31.919><c> belonged</c><00:13:32.299><c> to</c>

their<00:13:32.740><c> sect,</c><00:13:33.080><c> complained</c><00:13:33.539><c> to</c><00:13:33.960><c> his</c><00:13:34.220><c> disciples</c><00:13:34.639><c> and</c><00:13:34.919><c> said.</c>

00:13:35.700 --> 00:13:36.899
I've<00:13:36.240><c> just</c><00:13:36.440><c> added</c><00:13:36.620><c> that</c><00:13:36.799><c> in.</c>

00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:43.159
Why<00:13:37.460><c> do</c><00:13:37.799><c> you</c><00:13:38.259><c> people</c><00:13:38.600><c> eat</c><00:13:38.940><c> with</c><00:13:39.779><c> tax</c><00:13:40.440><c> collectors</c><00:13:40.960><c> and</c><00:13:42.019><c> sinners?</c>

00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:44.399
Isn't<00:13:43.960><c> it</c><00:13:43.960><c> interesting?</c>

00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:45.500
Like,<00:13:45.039><c> there</c><00:13:45.039><c> was</c><00:13:45.179><c> a</c><00:13:45.340><c> difference.</c>

00:13:45.500 --> 00:13:47.320
You<00:13:45.559><c> could</c><00:13:45.740><c> be</c><00:13:46.220><c> as</c><00:13:46.519><c> bad</c><00:13:46.639><c> as</c><00:13:46.820><c> you</c><00:13:47.019><c> were.</c>

00:13:47.340 --> 00:13:49.100
At<00:13:47.539><c> least</c><00:13:47.700><c> I'm</c><00:13:47.840><c> not</c><00:13:47.940><c> a</c><00:13:48.080><c> tax</c><00:13:48.259><c> collector.</c>

00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:51.279
You<00:13:49.539><c> know,</c><00:13:49.860><c> that's</c><00:13:50.159><c> what</c><00:13:50.279><c> it</c><00:13:50.460><c> means.</c>

00:13:52.539 --> 00:13:57.080
Again,<00:13:53.259><c> look</c><00:13:53.399><c> at</c><00:13:53.919><c> Luke</c><00:13:54.639><c> chapter</c><00:13:55.120><c> 7,</c><00:13:55.620><c> verse</c><00:13:55.940><c> 34.</c>

The<00:14:05.759><c> son</c><00:14:06.059><c> of</c><00:14:06.240><c> man,</c><00:14:06.740><c> this</c><00:14:06.960><c> is</c><00:14:07.100><c> Jesus</c><00:14:07.299><c> speaking</c><00:14:07.559><c> now,</c><00:14:08.220><c> came</c><00:14:08.240><c> eating</c><00:14:08.940><c> and</c>

00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:12.159
Well,<00:14:11.179><c> Jesus</c><00:14:11.519><c> quoting</c><00:14:11.840><c> them.</c>

00:14:12.580 --> 00:14:19.299
Here<00:14:12.799><c> is</c><00:14:13.039><c> a</c><00:14:13.179><c> glutton</c><00:14:13.440><c> and</c><00:14:14.120><c> a</c><00:14:14.240><c> drunkard,</c><00:14:15.059><c> a</c><00:14:15.320><c> friend</c><00:14:15.519><c> of</c><00:14:16.279><c> tax</c><00:14:16.840><c> collectors</c><00:14:17.500><c> and</c><00:14:19.019><c> sinners.</c>

00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:23.159

00:14:23.159 --> 00:14:29.460
Now,<00:14:24.120><c> we</c><00:14:24.299><c> all</c><00:14:24.460><c> grew</c><00:14:24.600><c> up</c><00:14:25.259><c> hearing</c><00:14:25.480><c> different</c><00:14:25.759><c> things</c><00:14:26.019><c> about</c><00:14:26.279><c> why</c><00:14:28.159><c> tax</c><00:14:28.500><c> collectors</c><00:14:28.820><c> were</c><00:14:29.059><c> seen</c><00:14:29.299><c> as</c>

00:14:41.179 --> 00:14:43.799

Now,<00:14:51.500><c> maybe</c><00:14:51.820><c> that's</c><00:14:52.139><c> true</c><00:14:52.379><c> or</c><00:14:52.559><c> not.</c>

00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:54.820

00:14:58.179 --> 00:15:01.960
That's<00:14:58.700><c> why</c><00:14:59.159><c> they</c><00:14:59.860><c> were</c><00:15:00.620><c> hated.</c>

00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:08.799

00:15:10.259 --> 00:15:12.879
That's<00:15:10.779><c> why</c><00:15:11.179><c> they</c><00:15:11.580><c> were</c><00:15:12.379><c> hated.</c>

If<00:17:57.259><c> you've</c><00:17:57.559><c> lost</c><00:17:57.680><c> one,</c><00:17:57.819><c> you've</c><00:17:57.940><c> lost</c><00:17:58.200><c> one.</c>

00:17:58.319 --> 00:17:59.799
You<00:17:58.400><c> can</c><00:17:58.559><c> get</c><00:17:58.700><c> one</c><00:17:58.920><c> back.</c>

00:18:00.180 --> 00:18:00.880
All<00:18:00.619><c> right.</c>

00:18:01.259 --> 00:18:05.339
So<00:18:01.420><c> I</c><00:18:01.559><c> know</c><00:18:02.180><c> that</c><00:18:02.559><c> people</c><00:18:02.880><c> tell</c><00:18:03.119><c> us</c><00:18:03.339><c> stories</c><00:18:03.539><c> about,</c><00:18:04.700><c> well,</c><00:18:04.740><c> they're</c><00:18:04.920><c> all</c><00:18:05.200><c> in</c>

00:18:05.339 --> 00:18:07.500
a<00:18:05.519><c> different</c><00:18:05.720><c> place</c><00:18:06.119><c> and</c><00:18:06.240><c> they</c><00:18:06.420><c> all</c><00:18:06.579><c> would</c><00:18:06.779><c> stick</c><00:18:06.940><c> together.</c>

00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:09.500
And<00:18:07.960><c> that's</c><00:18:08.200><c> why</c><00:18:08.339><c> none</c><00:18:08.619><c> of</c><00:18:08.799><c> them</c><00:18:08.940><c> would</c><00:18:09.339><c> stray.</c>

00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:11.099
And<00:18:09.700><c> that's</c><00:18:09.920><c> why</c><00:18:10.059><c> he</c><00:18:10.259><c> really</c><00:18:10.579><c> went</c><00:18:10.779><c> off.</c>

00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:12.819
No,<00:18:11.579><c> it's</c><00:18:11.759><c> not</c><00:18:11.980><c> true.</c>

00:18:13.220 --> 00:18:14.279
All<00:18:13.420><c> right.</c>

00:18:14.779 --> 00:18:16.579
Jesus<00:18:15.059><c> told</c><00:18:15.279><c> that</c><00:18:15.579><c> parable</c><00:18:15.859><c> to</c><00:18:16.299><c> show.</c>

00:18:16.740 --> 00:18:19.359
He's<00:18:16.940><c> not</c><00:18:17.160><c> talking</c><00:18:17.339><c> about</c><00:18:17.619><c> normal</c><00:18:18.359><c> way</c><00:18:18.619><c> of</c><00:18:18.819><c> doing</c><00:18:19.039><c> things.</c>

00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:21.400
The<00:18:19.839><c> strange</c><00:18:19.940><c> thing</c><00:18:20.119><c> about</c><00:18:20.359><c> parables,</c><00:18:20.839><c> if</c><00:18:20.960><c> you</c><00:18:21.059><c> ever</c><00:18:21.180><c> look</c><00:18:21.299><c> at</c>

00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:24.240

strange<00:18:25.119><c> about</c><00:18:25.579><c> them.</c>

00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:30.420
Parables<00:18:27.279><c> are</c><00:18:27.640><c> not</c><00:18:28.019><c> literal,</c><00:18:29.079><c> logical</c><00:18:29.900><c> stories.</c>

00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:34.019
Generally<00:18:30.880><c> speaking,</c><00:18:32.019><c> parables</c><00:18:32.359><c> are</c><00:18:32.559><c> to</c><00:18:32.740><c> teach</c><00:18:32.960><c> us</c><00:18:33.180><c> something</c><00:18:33.519><c> about.</c>

00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:40.079
It's<00:18:34.380><c> what</c><00:18:34.579><c> Dennis</c><00:18:34.839><c> Gillett</c><00:18:35.039><c> from</c><00:18:35.180><c> England</c><00:18:35.440><c> used</c><00:18:35.660><c> to</c><00:18:35.819><c> say,</c><00:18:38.220><c> heavenly</c><00:18:38.599><c> stories</c><00:18:39.480><c> with</c><00:18:39.859><c> an</c>

00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:42.359
All<00:18:42.220><c> right.</c>

00:18:42.460 --> 00:18:45.900
It's<00:18:42.740><c> always,</c><00:18:43.200><c> generally</c><00:18:43.500><c> speaking,</c><00:18:43.839><c> to</c><00:18:43.960><c> teach</c><00:18:44.059><c> us</c><00:18:44.240><c> something</c><00:18:44.440><c> about</c><00:18:44.859><c> the</c><00:18:45.400><c> power</c><00:18:45.680><c> or</c>

00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:49.519
What<00:18:48.299><c> Jesus</c><00:18:48.579><c> was</c><00:18:48.740><c> saying</c><00:18:48.960><c> is</c><00:18:49.160><c> this.</c>

00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:56.079
God<00:18:50.680><c> loves</c><00:18:51.160><c> all</c><00:18:51.640><c> people</c><00:18:52.119><c> so</c><00:18:52.619><c> much</c><00:18:52.940><c> so</c><00:18:53.500><c> that</c><00:18:54.079><c> if</c><00:18:55.000><c> he</c><00:18:55.259><c> lost</c><00:18:55.559><c> one</c>

of<00:18:56.519><c> them,</c><00:18:57.019><c> he</c><00:18:57.380><c> would</c><00:18:57.799><c> make</c><00:18:58.140><c> the</c><00:18:58.420><c> effort</c><00:18:58.819><c> to</c><00:18:59.099><c> go</c><00:18:59.240><c> and</c><00:18:59.539><c> seek</c><00:18:59.759><c> after</c><00:19:00.400><c> one</c>

00:19:00.700 --> 00:19:01.279
of<00:19:00.960><c> them,</c>

00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:03.740
leaving<00:19:01.839><c> the</c><00:19:02.079><c> others</c><00:19:02.240><c> because</c><00:19:02.559><c> of</c><00:19:02.700><c> his</c><00:19:03.000><c> love</c><00:19:03.220><c> and</c><00:19:03.420><c> his</c><00:19:03.680><c> care</c>

and<00:19:03.799><c> his</c><00:19:03.900><c> concern</c><00:19:04.299><c> that</c><00:19:04.539><c> all</c><00:19:04.859><c> of</c><00:19:04.980><c> them</c><00:19:05.160><c> were</c><00:19:05.799><c> together.</c>

00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:11.460
If<00:19:08.559><c> it</c><00:19:08.680><c> was</c><00:19:08.859><c> one</c><00:19:09.140><c> out</c><00:19:09.319><c> of</c><00:19:09.400><c> a</c><00:19:09.500><c> hundred,</c><00:19:09.960><c> he</c><00:19:10.079><c> would</c><00:19:10.279><c> do</c><00:19:10.460><c> it.</c>

00:19:11.779 --> 00:19:17.259
That's<00:19:12.039><c> what</c><00:19:12.200><c> the</c><00:19:12.380><c> lady</c><00:19:12.839><c> is</c><00:19:13.279><c> about</c><00:19:13.720><c> who</c><00:19:14.660><c> loses</c><00:19:15.519><c> one</c><00:19:16.359><c> of</c><00:19:16.640><c> her</c><00:19:16.920><c> coins.</c>

00:19:17.259 --> 00:19:21.819
Now,<00:19:17.980><c> we</c><00:19:18.200><c> know</c><00:19:18.619><c> that</c><00:19:19.000><c> sometimes</c><00:19:19.380><c> people</c><00:19:19.680><c> say</c><00:19:19.980><c> that</c><00:19:20.259><c> it's</c><00:19:20.440><c> because</c><00:19:20.880><c> she</c>

00:19:21.819 --> 00:19:24.000
wore<00:19:22.240><c> the</c><00:19:22.839><c> coins,</c><00:19:23.259><c> had</c><00:19:23.380><c> a</c><00:19:23.599><c> hole</c><00:19:23.819><c> in</c><00:19:23.920><c> it,</c>

00:19:24.059 --> 00:19:25.920
she<00:19:24.059><c> had</c><00:19:24.099><c> a</c><00:19:24.460><c> chain</c><00:19:24.759><c> that</c><00:19:24.900><c> was</c><00:19:25.000><c> given</c><00:19:25.180><c> to</c><00:19:25.339><c> her</c><00:19:25.420><c> by</c><00:19:25.619><c> her</c><00:19:25.660><c> husband</c>

at<00:19:26.099><c> marriage,</c><00:19:26.920><c> and</c><00:19:27.140><c> it</c><00:19:27.440><c> broke.</c>

00:19:27.819 --> 00:19:29.900
She<00:19:27.960><c> would</c><00:19:28.200><c> have</c><00:19:28.480><c> to</c><00:19:28.579><c> get</c><00:19:28.720><c> down</c><00:19:28.819><c> on</c><00:19:28.960><c> her</c><00:19:29.000><c> hands</c><00:19:29.259><c> and</c><00:19:29.359><c> knees</c><00:19:29.759><c> and</c>

00:19:29.900 --> 00:19:31.759
go<00:19:30.220><c> through</c><00:19:30.579><c> the...</c>

00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:36.420
Because<00:19:32.339><c> in</c><00:19:32.640><c> those</c><00:19:32.900><c> days,</c><00:19:34.819><c> the</c><00:19:34.900><c> animals</c><00:19:35.119><c> that</c><00:19:35.259><c> you</c><00:19:35.319><c> had</c><00:19:35.619><c> to</c>

00:19:36.420 --> 00:19:38.779
goats<00:19:37.019><c> and</c><00:19:37.299><c> stuff,</c><00:19:37.460><c> you'd</c><00:19:37.779><c> bring</c><00:19:37.880><c> them</c><00:19:38.059><c> inside</c><00:19:38.440><c> the</c><00:19:38.640><c> house.</c>

00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:41.460
So<00:19:38.980><c> it</c><00:19:38.980><c> was</c><00:19:39.240><c> all</c><00:19:39.640><c> over</c><00:19:39.980><c> the</c><00:19:40.099><c> place,</c><00:19:40.440><c> getting</c><00:19:40.559><c> all</c><00:19:40.839><c> her</c><00:19:41.059><c> hands</c>

00:19:41.460 --> 00:19:43.660
dirty<00:19:42.500><c> and</c><00:19:42.900><c> this</c><00:19:43.279><c> drawer.</c>

00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:45.440
There's<00:19:44.099><c> all</c><00:19:44.279><c> sorts</c><00:19:44.420><c> of</c><00:19:44.500><c> other</c><00:19:44.619><c> things</c><00:19:44.779><c> that</c><00:19:44.980><c> animals</c><00:19:45.180><c> do</c><00:19:45.380><c> in</c>

00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:45.839
your<00:19:45.640><c> house.</c>

00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:47.579
If<00:19:46.380><c> you</c><00:19:46.599><c> keep</c><00:19:46.700><c> them</c><00:19:46.880><c> there</c><00:19:46.980><c> for</c><00:19:47.160><c> too</c><00:19:47.380><c> long.</c>

00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:52.099
And<00:19:47.900><c> the</c><00:19:48.160><c> idea</c><00:19:48.559><c> is</c><00:19:49.279><c> she</c><00:19:50.279><c> would</c><00:19:50.559><c> literally</c><00:19:50.980><c> get</c><00:19:51.220><c> on</c><00:19:51.440><c> her</c><00:19:51.759><c> hands</c>

00:19:54.380 --> 00:19:57.700
because<00:19:55.160><c> she</c><00:19:56.180><c> really</c><00:19:56.559><c> wanted</c><00:19:56.839><c> to</c><00:19:57.180><c> find</c><00:19:57.539><c> it.</c>

00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:03.160
Now,<00:19:58.019><c> the</c><00:19:58.299><c> question</c><00:19:58.539><c> I</c><00:19:58.640><c> want</c><00:19:58.759><c> to</c><00:19:58.920><c> ask</c><00:19:59.099><c> you</c><00:19:59.240><c> is,</c><00:19:59.559><c> why</c><00:19:59.900><c> would</c><00:20:00.200><c> somebody</c><00:20:01.160><c> leave</c><00:20:02.500><c> 99</c>

00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:10.059
Why<00:20:05.420><c> would</c><00:20:05.799><c> somebody</c><00:20:06.819><c> leave</c><00:20:07.720><c> the</c><00:20:08.279><c> 99,</c><00:20:08.940><c> pack</c><00:20:09.220><c> them</c><00:20:09.440><c> away</c><00:20:09.700><c> there</c>

in<00:20:11.759><c> all</c><00:20:12.000><c> the</c><00:20:12.240><c> dirt</c><00:20:12.460><c> and</c><00:20:12.720><c> all</c><00:20:12.839><c> the</c><00:20:13.160><c> feces</c><00:20:13.579><c> of</c><00:20:13.779><c> the</c><00:20:14.000><c> house</c><00:20:14.259><c> in</c><00:20:14.460><c> the</c><00:20:14.700><c> corner?</c>

00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:17.859
Because,<00:20:15.819><c> of</c><00:20:16.059><c> course,</c><00:20:16.359><c> the</c><00:20:16.700><c> coin</c><00:20:16.920><c> could</c><00:20:17.119><c> have</c><00:20:17.240><c> been</c><00:20:17.400><c> circular</c>

00:20:17.859 --> 00:20:20.759
and<00:20:18.160><c> if</c><00:20:18.279><c> it</c><00:20:18.480><c> dropped,</c><00:20:18.779><c> it</c><00:20:18.880><c> would</c><00:20:18.900><c> have</c><00:20:19.160><c> rolled</c><00:20:19.599><c> anywhere.</c>

00:20:21.140 --> 00:20:24.579
So<00:20:21.259><c> the</c><00:20:21.839><c> lady</c><00:20:22.160><c> had</c><00:20:22.500><c> to</c><00:20:22.640><c> search</c><00:20:22.940><c> everywhere,</c><00:20:23.819><c> leave</c><00:20:24.119><c> everything</c><00:20:24.440><c> that</c>

00:20:24.579 --> 00:20:25.059
she's<00:20:24.819><c> doing,</c>

00:20:25.539 --> 00:20:27.859
and<00:20:25.640><c> search</c><00:20:26.019><c> everywhere,</c><00:20:26.819><c> every</c><00:20:26.940><c> corner</c><00:20:27.160><c> of</c><00:20:27.319><c> the</c><00:20:27.440><c> house</c><00:20:27.619><c> and</c>

00:20:27.859 --> 00:20:32.720
make<00:20:28.000><c> sure</c><00:20:28.180><c> that</c><00:20:28.380><c> she</c><00:20:28.619><c> found</c><00:20:29.220><c> this</c><00:20:30.559><c> lost</c><00:20:31.640><c> coin.</c>

00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:36.539
Why<00:20:34.240><c> would</c><00:20:34.440><c> they</c><00:20:34.640><c> do</c><00:20:34.779><c> it?</c><00:20:35.220><c> Why</c><00:20:35.559><c> would</c><00:20:35.720><c> the</c><00:20:35.859><c> shepherd</c><00:20:36.039><c> do</c><00:20:36.259><c> it?</c>

00:20:36.859 --> 00:20:38.740
Why<00:20:37.160><c> would</c><00:20:37.359><c> the</c><00:20:37.519><c> lady</c><00:20:37.740><c> do</c><00:20:37.920><c> it?</c>

00:20:41.619 --> 00:20:43.859
You<00:20:41.700><c> can</c><00:20:41.900><c> answer</c><00:20:42.059><c> if</c><00:20:42.200><c> you</c><00:20:42.339><c> want.</c>

00:20:44.779 --> 00:20:45.519
Why?

00:20:46.299 --> 00:20:48.460
Yeah,<00:20:46.579><c> it</c><00:20:46.579><c> was</c><00:20:46.759><c> valuable</c><00:20:47.240><c> to</c><00:20:47.720><c> her.</c>

00:20:48.980 --> 00:20:52.160
She<00:20:49.579><c> wouldn't</c><00:20:49.859><c> have</c><00:20:50.059><c> been</c><00:20:50.200><c> the</c><00:20:50.460><c> same</c><00:20:50.660><c> without</c><00:20:50.940><c> having</c><00:20:51.319><c> it.</c>

00:20:52.240 --> 00:21:01.420
So<00:20:52.640><c> both</c><00:20:52.980><c> stories</c><00:20:53.559><c> are</c><00:20:54.839><c> about</c><00:20:55.420><c> love,</c><00:20:57.720><c> care</c><00:20:58.279><c> and</c><00:20:59.579><c> concern.</c>

00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:02.500
Because<00:21:01.960><c> it</c><00:21:02.039><c> was</c><00:21:02.319><c> valuable.</c>

00:21:02.500 --> 00:21:06.240
It<00:21:02.720><c> meant</c><00:21:03.220><c> something</c><00:21:03.700><c> to</c><00:21:04.019><c> him</c><00:21:04.319><c> to</c><00:21:04.799><c> make</c><00:21:05.140><c> sure</c><00:21:05.420><c> that</c><00:21:05.720><c> all</c><00:21:06.059><c> the</c>

00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:06.839
sheep<00:21:06.380><c> were</c><00:21:06.579><c> together.</c>

00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:11.079
It<00:21:07.279><c> meant</c><00:21:07.779><c> something</c><00:21:08.119><c> to</c><00:21:08.339><c> the</c><00:21:08.500><c> lady</c><00:21:08.900><c> to</c><00:21:09.359><c> make</c><00:21:09.720><c> sure</c><00:21:10.220><c> that</c><00:21:10.720><c> all</c>

00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:12.880
the<00:21:11.299><c> coins</c><00:21:11.480><c> were</c><00:21:11.759><c> together.</c>

00:21:13.099 --> 00:21:17.259
It's<00:21:13.220><c> about</c><00:21:13.539><c> love,</c><00:21:14.240><c> concern,</c><00:21:14.880><c> value,</c><00:21:15.279><c> what</c><00:21:15.480><c> you</c><00:21:15.799><c> care</c><00:21:16.220><c> for.</c>

00:21:18.099 --> 00:21:22.220
Now,<00:21:18.700><c> for</c><00:21:18.859><c> the</c><00:21:18.960><c> bigger</c><00:21:19.079><c> ones</c><00:21:19.440><c> in</c><00:21:19.660><c> the</c><00:21:19.819><c> house,</c><00:21:20.940><c> let's</c><00:21:21.240><c> understand</c><00:21:21.779><c> another</c>

00:21:22.220 --> 00:21:24.380
lesson<00:21:22.819><c> about</c><00:21:23.500><c> it.</c>

00:21:24.940 --> 00:21:29.839
You<00:21:25.160><c> can</c><00:21:25.339><c> be</c><00:21:25.539><c> lost</c><00:21:26.420><c> outside</c><00:21:27.279><c> in</c><00:21:27.519><c> the</c><00:21:27.720><c> world</c><00:21:28.200><c> and</c><00:21:29.359><c> you</c><00:21:29.440><c> can</c><00:21:29.640><c> also</c>

00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:33.559
be<00:21:30.200><c> lost</c><00:21:31.140><c> within</c><00:21:31.859><c> the</c><00:21:32.500><c> house.</c>

00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:38.279
And<00:21:34.519><c> the</c><00:21:34.680><c> Lord</c><00:21:34.920><c> God</c><00:21:35.220><c> still</c><00:21:35.880><c> is</c><00:21:36.380><c> concerned</c><00:21:37.160><c> because</c><00:21:37.500><c> he</c><00:21:37.640><c> loves</c><00:21:37.940><c> us.</c>

00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:40.359
He<00:21:38.720><c> cares</c><00:21:39.140><c> for</c><00:21:39.319><c> us.</c><00:21:39.519><c> He</c><00:21:39.599><c> watches</c><00:21:39.839><c> over</c><00:21:40.200><c> us.</c>

00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:43.660
He's<00:21:40.759><c> so</c><00:21:41.039><c> concerned</c><00:21:41.299><c> he</c><00:21:41.400><c> wants</c><00:21:41.720><c> everybody</c><00:21:42.900><c> together.</c>

00:21:43.779 --> 00:21:46.180
Now,<00:21:43.940><c> the</c><00:21:44.039><c> lesson</c><00:21:44.299><c> Jesus</c><00:21:44.720><c> is</c><00:21:44.920><c> bringing,</c><00:21:45.160><c> of</c><00:21:45.319><c> course,</c><00:21:46.059><c> is</c>

00:21:46.180 --> 00:21:47.460
these<00:21:46.539><c> Pharisees,</c>

00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:50.900
sorry,<00:21:48.079><c> these</c><00:21:48.279><c> apostolic</c><00:21:48.720><c> sinners</c><00:21:49.079><c> are</c><00:21:49.339><c> lost</c><00:21:49.740><c> outside</c><00:21:50.440><c> the</c><00:21:50.700><c> house.</c>

00:21:51.099 --> 00:21:52.220
The<00:21:51.240><c> Lord</c><00:21:51.359><c> still</c><00:21:51.579><c> loves</c><00:21:51.859><c> them.</c>

00:21:52.420 --> 00:21:57.059
That's<00:21:52.799><c> why</c><00:21:53.000><c> Jesus</c><00:21:53.319><c> said,</c><00:21:53.759><c> I've</c><00:21:53.980><c> come</c><00:21:54.319><c> to</c><00:21:55.440><c> be</c><00:21:55.799><c> concerned</c><00:21:56.200><c> about</c><00:21:56.420><c> the</c><00:21:56.700><c> lost,</c>

00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:06.680
And<00:22:04.200><c> he's</c><00:22:04.380><c> also</c><00:22:04.579><c> saying,</c><00:22:04.700><c> I'm</c><00:22:04.960><c> concerned</c><00:22:05.160><c> about</c><00:22:05.480><c> you,</c><00:22:06.500><c> lost</c>

00:22:07.740 --> 00:22:12.140
lost<00:22:07.839><c> within</c><00:22:08.180><c> the</c><00:22:08.380><c> temple,</c><00:22:09.000><c> lost</c><00:22:09.000><c> within</c><00:22:09.599><c> the</c><00:22:11.019><c> synagogue</c><00:22:11.559><c> system.</c>

00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:13.700
You're<00:22:12.559><c> lost.</c>

00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:17.720
And<00:22:14.819><c> I'm</c><00:22:15.119><c> concerned</c><00:22:15.279><c> about</c><00:22:15.579><c> saving</c><00:22:16.000><c> you</c><00:22:16.500><c> as</c><00:22:16.839><c> well.</c>

00:22:17.740 --> 00:22:23.559
Now,<00:22:17.980><c> I</c><00:22:18.099><c> once</c><00:22:18.400><c> knew</c><00:22:18.619><c> a</c><00:22:18.779><c> very</c><00:22:19.259><c> stiff</c><00:22:20.299><c> and</c><00:22:21.380><c> starchy</c><00:22:21.720><c> brother</c><00:22:22.160><c> in</c><00:22:23.140><c> England.</c>

00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:28.400
And<00:22:24.619><c> I'll</c><00:22:26.920><c> say</c><00:22:27.119><c> he's</c><00:22:27.279><c> stiff</c><00:22:27.400><c> and</c><00:22:27.559><c> starchy</c><00:22:27.700><c> because</c><00:22:27.980><c> he</c><00:22:28.180><c> admits</c>

00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:28.880
it<00:22:28.559><c> himself.</c>

00:22:29.019 --> 00:22:30.779
I'm<00:22:29.180><c> not</c><00:22:29.319><c> just</c><00:22:29.500><c> calling</c><00:22:29.660><c> him</c><00:22:29.900><c> names.</c>

00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:37.140
But<00:22:32.339><c> I</c><00:22:32.579><c> met</c><00:22:32.779><c> him</c><00:22:32.920><c> many</c><00:22:33.180><c> years</c><00:22:33.500><c> later</c><00:22:34.240><c> and</c><00:22:35.720><c> I</c><00:22:35.960><c> said</c><00:22:36.160><c> to</c><00:22:36.259><c> him,</c>

00:22:37.380 --> 00:22:39.039
you've<00:22:37.900><c> changed.</c>

00:22:40.140 --> 00:22:43.740
Because<00:22:40.359><c> he</c><00:22:40.740><c> was</c><00:22:41.000><c> completely</c><00:22:41.579><c> different</c><00:22:41.920><c> to</c><00:22:42.640><c> how</c><00:22:42.940><c> I</c><00:22:43.339><c> knew</c><00:22:43.500><c> him</c>

15<00:22:44.079><c> years</c><00:22:44.420><c> before.</c>

00:22:46.140 --> 00:22:48.420
So<00:22:46.599><c> I</c><00:22:46.660><c> said,</c><00:22:46.920><c> well,</c><00:22:47.039><c> what's</c><00:22:47.420><c> changed</c><00:22:47.819><c> you?</c>

00:22:48.420 --> 00:22:54.079
And<00:22:48.819><c> he</c><00:22:49.079><c> said,</c><00:22:50.319><c> quote,</c><00:22:51.500><c> I</c><00:22:51.500><c> came</c><00:22:52.000><c> to</c><00:22:52.400><c> realize</c><00:22:53.180><c> that</c><00:22:53.720><c> the</c><00:22:53.880><c> Lord</c>

Jesus<00:22:54.460><c> Christ</c><00:22:54.740><c> was</c><00:22:54.960><c> in</c><00:22:55.180><c> the</c><00:22:55.720><c> saving</c><00:22:56.579><c> business.</c>

00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:00.900

00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:36.940
They've<00:28:35.720><c> repented</c><00:28:36.180><c> in</c><00:28:36.339><c> other</c><00:28:36.500><c> words.</c>

00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:39.420
That's<00:28:37.380><c> what</c><00:28:37.539><c> the</c><00:28:37.579><c> word</c><00:28:37.839><c> repentance</c><00:28:38.440><c> actually</c><00:28:39.140><c> means.</c>

00:28:39.819 --> 00:28:42.640
It<00:28:39.880><c> actually</c><00:28:40.259><c> means,</c><00:28:40.539><c> I</c><00:28:40.619><c> know</c><00:28:41.240><c> if</c><00:28:41.799><c> you</c><00:28:41.960><c> actually</c><00:28:42.140><c> go</c><00:28:42.299><c> back</c><00:28:42.480><c> to</c>

00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:49.779
Excuse<00:28:48.759><c> me?</c>

00:28:50.220 --> 00:28:53.420
It's<00:28:50.660><c> a</c><00:28:50.799><c> change</c><00:28:50.960><c> of</c><00:28:51.240><c> mindset,</c><00:28:52.000><c> but</c><00:28:52.000><c> changing</c><00:28:52.440><c> what</c><00:28:52.759><c> to</c><00:28:53.000><c> what.</c>

00:28:53.420 --> 00:28:57.259
It's<00:28:54.140><c> realising</c><00:28:54.660><c> that,</c><00:28:55.500><c> what</c><00:28:55.500><c> have</c><00:28:55.859><c> I</c><00:28:56.079><c> been</c><00:28:56.380><c> doing?</c>

00:28:58.000 --> 00:29:00.900
I've<00:28:58.299><c> been</c><00:28:58.440><c> committing</c><00:28:58.859><c> spiritual</c><00:28:59.579><c> murder.</c>

00:29:01.460 --> 00:29:03.920
I've<00:29:01.640><c> been</c><00:29:01.859><c> killing</c><00:29:02.160><c> myself,</c><00:29:02.960><c> living</c><00:29:03.180><c> out</c><00:29:03.359><c> in</c><00:29:03.480><c> the</c><00:29:03.660><c> world,</c>

00:29:06.900 --> 00:29:08.940
I<00:29:07.019><c> know</c><00:29:07.180><c> I</c><00:29:07.319><c> shouldn't</c><00:29:07.579><c> have</c><00:29:07.759><c> been</c><00:29:07.900><c> doing,</c><00:29:08.119><c> living</c><00:29:08.400><c> in</c><00:29:08.779><c> sin,</c>

00:29:09.359 --> 00:29:11.240
and<00:29:09.440><c> that's</c><00:29:10.880><c> repentance.</c>

00:29:11.299 --> 00:29:13.299
When<00:29:11.420><c> you</c><00:29:11.519><c> go,</c><00:29:12.140><c> look</c><00:29:12.579><c> what</c><00:29:12.839><c> I've</c><00:29:13.220><c> done.</c>

00:29:13.319 --> 00:29:15.940
I<00:29:13.480><c> could</c><00:29:13.740><c> have</c><00:29:14.019><c> died</c><00:29:14.460><c> in</c><00:29:14.640><c> our</c><00:29:14.980><c> case</c><00:29:15.140><c> if</c><00:29:15.299><c> the</c><00:29:15.440><c> Lord</c><00:29:15.599><c> returns</c>

00:29:15.940 --> 00:29:17.220
and<00:29:16.079><c> I've</c><00:29:16.240><c> been</c><00:29:16.299><c> living</c><00:29:16.539><c> like</c><00:29:16.900><c> that.</c>

00:29:17.460 --> 00:29:19.200
So<00:29:17.700><c> you</c><00:29:18.180><c> come</c><00:29:18.500><c> to</c><00:29:18.680><c> your</c><00:29:18.960><c> senses.</c>

00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:22.960
If<00:29:19.559><c> I</c><00:29:20.359><c> go</c><00:29:20.640><c> back</c><00:29:20.960><c> home</c><00:29:21.319><c> to</c><00:29:21.880><c> the</c><00:29:22.160><c> spiritual</c><00:29:22.619><c> house,</c>

00:29:23.059 --> 00:29:24.700
to<00:29:23.119><c> the</c><00:29:23.220><c> love</c><00:29:23.339><c> of</c><00:29:23.519><c> God,</c><00:29:23.839><c> to</c><00:29:23.839><c> the</c><00:29:24.000><c> care</c><00:29:24.339><c> of</c><00:29:24.579><c> God,</c>

00:29:24.819 --> 00:29:30.279
to<00:29:24.880><c> the</c><00:29:25.279><c> compassion</c><00:29:25.759><c> of</c><00:29:26.000><c> God,</c><00:29:28.259><c> I</c><00:29:28.400><c> can</c><00:29:28.619><c> be</c><00:29:28.960><c> forgiven.</c>

00:29:31.259 --> 00:29:32.799
That's<00:29:31.680><c> what</c><00:29:31.900><c> repentance</c><00:29:32.319><c> is</c><00:29:32.539><c> about.</c>

00:29:33.059 --> 00:29:35.240
Realising<00:29:33.539><c> that</c><00:29:33.779><c> without</c><00:29:34.140><c> living</c><00:29:34.420><c> under</c><00:29:34.619><c> the</c><00:29:34.740><c> house</c><00:29:34.940><c> of</c><00:29:35.119><c> God,</c>

00:29:35.339 --> 00:29:37.099
without<00:29:35.519><c> living</c><00:29:35.779><c> under</c><00:29:35.980><c> the</c><00:29:36.079><c> love</c><00:29:36.259><c> of</c><00:29:36.359><c> God,</c>

00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:40.279
it's<00:29:38.200><c> foolishness,</c><00:29:38.759><c> it's</c><00:29:39.059><c> madness.</c>

00:29:40.460 --> 00:29:42.799
So<00:29:40.579><c> you</c><00:29:40.700><c> come</c><00:29:40.980><c> to,</c><00:29:41.099><c> look</c><00:29:41.920><c> what</c><00:29:42.240><c> I've</c><00:29:42.460><c> been</c><00:29:42.599><c> doing.</c>

00:29:42.859 --> 00:29:43.819
I'm<00:29:43.079><c> going</c><00:29:43.160><c> to</c><00:29:43.259><c> go</c><00:29:43.500><c> home.</c>

00:29:45.380 --> 00:29:48.940
Whilst<00:29:46.119><c> he</c><00:29:46.259><c> is</c><00:29:46.380><c> a</c><00:29:46.559><c> long</c><00:29:46.740><c> way</c><00:29:46.880><c> off,</c><00:29:47.339><c> the</c><00:29:47.480><c> Father</c><00:29:47.839><c> sees</c><00:29:48.559><c> him.</c>

00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:50.519
Every<00:29:49.380><c> day</c><00:29:49.519><c> you</c><00:29:49.599><c> can</c><00:29:49.819><c> imagine</c><00:29:50.119><c> the</c><00:29:50.279><c> Father</c>

In<00:29:59.400><c> sense,</c><00:29:59.819><c> Jesus</c><00:30:00.279><c> throwing</c><00:30:00.779><c> arms</c><00:30:01.119><c> around</c>

00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:12.920
That's<00:30:11.279><c> what</c><00:30:11.440><c> Jesus</c><00:30:11.740><c> is</c><00:30:11.980><c> saying.</c>

00:30:56.839 --> 00:30:58.819
We're<00:30:57.160><c> not</c><00:30:57.339><c> going</c><00:30:57.640><c> in</c><00:30:57.920><c> there.</c>

00:30:59.319 --> 00:31:04.339
We're<00:30:59.680><c> not</c><00:30:59.839><c> mixing</c><00:31:00.180><c> with</c><00:31:01.599><c> tax</c><00:31:02.019><c> collectors</c><00:31:02.440><c> and</c><00:31:03.339><c> sinners.</c>

The<00:31:13.940><c> older</c><00:31:14.279><c> son</c><00:31:14.500><c> became</c><00:31:15.180><c> angry</c>

00:31:18.619 --> 00:31:20.759

You<00:31:49.460><c> see,</c><00:31:49.900><c> he</c><00:31:50.039><c> thought</c><00:31:50.200><c> he</c><00:31:50.319><c> was</c><00:31:50.720><c> a</c><00:31:50.720><c> bit</c><00:31:50.940><c> above</c><00:31:51.180><c> himself.</c>

00:31:51.940 --> 00:31:54.259
Disobeyed<00:31:52.400><c> your</c><00:31:52.759><c> orders,</c><00:31:53.420><c> law,</c>

00:32:08.619 --> 00:32:12.759
you<00:32:08.640><c> don't</c><00:32:08.839><c> even</c><00:32:09.240><c> consider</c><00:32:09.440><c> that</c><00:32:10.920><c> he's</c><00:32:11.259><c> related</c><00:32:11.500><c> to</c><00:32:11.680><c> him</c><00:32:11.799><c> anymore.</c>

00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:15.579
This<00:32:13.079><c> son</c><00:32:13.220><c> of</c><00:32:13.440><c> yours</c><00:32:13.859><c> has</c><00:32:14.200><c> squandered</c><00:32:14.480><c> your</c><00:32:14.779><c> property</c>

00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:18.519
if<00:32:17.039><c> prostitutes</c><00:32:17.640><c> comes</c><00:32:18.099><c> home,</c>

00:32:21.420 --> 00:32:24.599
Now,<00:32:21.980><c> that's</c><00:32:22.339><c> where</c><00:32:22.500><c> he</c><00:32:22.720><c> betrays</c><00:32:23.140><c> himself,</c><00:32:23.559><c> the</c><00:32:23.599><c> older</c><00:32:23.819><c> son.</c>

00:32:26.200 --> 00:32:29.160
He<00:32:26.400><c> knew</c><00:32:26.940><c> that</c><00:32:27.720><c> they'd</c><00:32:27.920><c> come</c><00:32:28.140><c> home.</c>

00:32:30.140 --> 00:32:32.220
Jesus<00:32:30.420><c> was</c><00:32:30.559><c> reading</c><00:32:30.839><c> their</c><00:32:31.240><c> hearts.</c>

00:32:32.460 --> 00:32:35.019
The<00:32:32.980><c> Pharisees</c><00:32:33.500><c> and</c><00:32:33.660><c> Sadducees</c><00:32:33.920><c> were</c><00:32:34.160><c> technically</c><00:32:34.619><c> what</c><00:32:34.759><c> we</c>

00:32:35.019 --> 00:32:36.460
call<00:32:35.200><c> jealous.</c>

00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:42.059
They<00:32:37.759><c> really</c><00:32:38.220><c> realised</c><00:32:38.740><c> that</c><00:32:39.299><c> Jesus,</c><00:32:40.700><c> coming</c><00:32:41.099><c> from</c><00:32:41.319><c> the</c><00:32:41.500><c> Lord</c><00:32:41.720><c> God,</c>

00:33:34.259 --> 00:33:37.440
They<00:33:34.380><c> came</c><00:33:34.660><c> home</c><00:33:35.200><c> and</c><00:33:35.839><c> he</c><00:33:35.960><c> was</c><00:33:36.160><c> lost</c><00:33:36.539><c> and</c><00:33:36.839><c> he's</c><00:33:37.140><c> found</c>

00:33:53.900 --> 00:33:55.359
It's<00:33:54.380><c> not</c><00:33:54.539><c> written.</c>

All<00:34:30.199><c> sorts</c><00:34:30.420><c> of</c><00:34:30.539><c> things</c><00:34:30.639><c> are</c><00:34:30.820><c> going</c><00:34:30.940><c> on</c><00:34:31.119><c> around</c><00:34:31.400><c> us.</c>

00:36:48.199 --> 00:36:50.579
And<00:36:48.360><c> that's</c><00:36:49.360><c> our</c><00:36:49.659><c> second</c>
