00:00:48.219 --> 00:00:53.700
we're<00:00:48.460><c> trying</c><00:00:48.659><c> to</c><00:00:48.880><c> do,</c><00:00:49.960><c> and</c><00:00:50.159><c> not</c><00:00:50.320><c> having</c><00:00:51.119><c> to</c><00:00:51.340><c> face</c><00:00:51.619><c> any</c><00:00:51.920><c> of</c><00:00:52.100><c> the</c>

00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:00.539
this<00:01:00.000><c> in</c><00:01:00.259><c> peace.</c>

00:01:00.619 --> 00:01:04.920
We<00:01:00.740><c> can</c><00:01:00.920><c> really</c><00:01:01.579><c> concentrate</c><00:01:02.420><c> on</c><00:01:02.759><c> this</c><00:01:03.399><c> without</c><00:01:03.740><c> being</c><00:01:04.079><c> distracted,</c><00:01:04.739><c> and</c>

00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:06.680
that's<00:01:05.280><c> one</c><00:01:05.439><c> of</c><00:01:05.640><c> the</c><00:01:06.280><c> most</c>

00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:10.640
beneficial<00:01:07.420><c> things</c><00:01:08.000><c> that</c><00:01:08.200><c> we</c><00:01:08.359><c> can</c><00:01:08.659><c> have</c><00:01:08.879><c> in</c><00:01:09.040><c> our</c><00:01:09.299><c> favor,</c><00:01:10.340><c> is</c>

00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:12.489
to<00:01:10.879><c> not</c><00:01:11.079><c> have</c><00:01:11.340><c> distractions</c><00:01:12.019><c> when</c><00:01:12.239><c> we're</c>

00:01:12.489 --> 00:01:16.969
trying<00:01:12.629><c> to</c><00:01:12.890><c> think</c><00:01:13.170><c> of</c><00:01:14.069><c> what</c><00:01:14.629><c> our</c><00:01:14.950><c> God</c><00:01:15.109><c> has</c><00:01:15.430><c> called</c><00:01:15.609><c> us</c><00:01:15.969><c> to.</c>

00:01:19.349 --> 00:01:24.930
Now<00:01:19.969><c> this</c><00:01:20.590><c> is</c><00:01:22.370><c> intended</c><00:01:23.010><c> to</c><00:01:23.310><c> be</c><00:01:23.430><c> a</c><00:01:23.569><c> more</c><00:01:23.849><c> practical</c><00:01:24.469><c> session,</c>

00:01:25.329 --> 00:01:27.390
because<00:01:25.709><c> we</c><00:01:26.069><c> got</c><00:01:26.269><c> to</c><00:01:26.590><c> somehow</c><00:01:26.989><c> or</c><00:01:27.230><c> other</c>

00:01:27.390 --> 00:01:29.650
get<00:01:27.650><c> around</c><00:01:27.950><c> to</c><00:01:28.150><c> that</c><00:01:28.349><c> part</c><00:01:28.549><c> of</c><00:01:28.769><c> the</c><00:01:28.870><c> topic.</c>

00:01:29.859 --> 00:01:34.510
You<00:01:30.170><c> can</c><00:01:30.329><c> talk</c><00:01:30.609><c> about</c><00:01:30.950><c> the</c><00:01:31.290><c> theoretical</c><00:01:31.709><c> things,</c><00:01:32.370><c> you</c><00:01:32.590><c> can</c><00:01:32.989><c> see</c><00:01:33.349><c> how</c><00:01:33.609><c> God</c><00:01:33.870><c> has</c><00:01:34.109><c> put</c><00:01:34.230><c> it</c>

00:01:34.510 --> 00:01:35.969
together<00:01:34.829><c> intellectually,</c>

00:01:36.590 --> 00:01:41.209
but<00:01:37.150><c> if</c><00:01:37.549><c> it</c><00:01:37.810><c> doesn't</c><00:01:38.069><c> make</c><00:01:38.310><c> a</c><00:01:38.530><c> difference</c><00:01:38.829><c> in</c><00:01:39.109><c> our</c><00:01:39.510><c> life,</c><00:01:41.069><c> if</c>

00:01:41.209 --> 00:01:44.230
it<00:01:41.469><c> doesn't</c><00:01:41.829><c> change</c><00:01:42.209><c> us,</c><00:01:42.590><c> then</c><00:01:43.250><c> it's</c>

00:01:44.230 --> 00:01:48.049
just<00:01:44.510><c> information,</c><00:01:45.670><c> and</c><00:01:46.030><c> that's</c><00:01:46.489><c> not</c><00:01:46.750><c> what</c><00:01:46.909><c> God</c><00:01:47.170><c> wanted.</c>

00:01:48.750 --> 00:01:50.709
He<00:01:49.150><c> wants</c><00:01:49.489><c> us</c><00:01:49.890><c> to</c><00:01:50.370><c> follow.</c>

00:01:51.109 --> 00:01:54.609
So<00:01:51.390><c> to</c><00:01:51.750><c> follow</c><00:01:52.129><c> means</c><00:01:52.590><c> that</c><00:01:52.870><c> we've</c><00:01:53.230><c> got</c><00:01:53.370><c> to</c><00:01:53.650><c> somehow</c><00:01:53.989><c> or</c><00:01:54.090><c> other</c>

00:01:54.609 --> 00:01:57.030
sort<00:01:55.129><c> out</c><00:01:55.390><c> what's</c><00:01:55.769><c> going</c><00:01:56.010><c> on,</c><00:01:56.430><c> as</c><00:01:56.769><c> you</c>

00:01:57.030 --> 00:01:59.730
can<00:01:57.290><c> see</c><00:01:57.450><c> the</c><00:01:57.650><c> picture,</c><00:01:58.150><c> the</c><00:01:58.469><c> sheep</c><00:01:58.709><c> all</c><00:01:58.890><c> look</c><00:01:59.090><c> like</c><00:01:59.329><c> what's</c>

00:01:59.730 --> 00:02:01.670

00:02:02.010 --> 00:02:07.310
looking<00:02:02.489><c> for</c><00:02:02.849><c> someone</c><00:02:03.189><c> to</c><00:02:03.489><c> lead</c><00:02:03.689><c> them</c><00:02:04.129><c> so</c><00:02:04.750><c> that</c><00:02:04.909><c> they</c><00:02:05.069><c> can</c><00:02:05.549><c> follow,</c><00:02:07.170><c> and</c>

00:02:07.310 --> 00:02:08.750
very<00:02:07.689><c> often</c><00:02:08.009><c> that's</c><00:02:08.330><c> what</c><00:02:08.530><c> we</c>

00:02:08.750 --> 00:02:09.449
are<00:02:08.909><c> looking</c><00:02:09.169><c> for.</c>

00:02:09.550 --> 00:02:12.229
We're<00:02:09.669><c> looking</c><00:02:09.849><c> for</c><00:02:10.150><c> some</c><00:02:10.370><c> leadership,</c><00:02:11.270><c> and</c><00:02:11.370><c> we</c><00:02:11.530><c> find</c><00:02:11.889><c> that</c>

00:02:12.229 --> 00:02:12.949
in<00:02:12.469><c> the</c><00:02:12.650><c> scriptures.</c>

00:02:13.030 --> 00:02:15.550
That's<00:02:13.349><c> where</c><00:02:13.409><c> we</c><00:02:13.629><c> go</c><00:02:13.849><c> to</c><00:02:14.129><c> find</c><00:02:14.409><c> our</c><00:02:14.770><c> leader.</c>

00:02:16.629 --> 00:02:19.189
Now<00:02:16.810><c> there's</c><00:02:17.009><c> just</c><00:02:17.289><c> a</c><00:02:17.490><c> little</c><00:02:17.710><c> bit</c><00:02:17.889><c> we</c><00:02:18.090><c> have</c><00:02:18.289><c> to</c><00:02:18.610><c> finish</c><00:02:18.870><c> off</c>

00:02:21.030 --> 00:02:24.849
I<00:02:21.229><c> got</c><00:02:21.389><c> to</c><00:02:21.610><c> this</c><00:02:21.810><c> slide,</c><00:02:22.110><c> but</c><00:02:22.289><c> I</c><00:02:22.389><c> didn't</c><00:02:22.629><c> get</c><00:02:23.090><c> anywhere</c><00:02:23.909><c> to,</c><00:02:24.629><c> I</c>

00:02:24.849 --> 00:02:27.349

That's<00:05:00.370><c> a</c><00:05:00.670><c> very,</c><00:05:01.189><c> very</c><00:05:01.889><c> wonderful</c><00:05:02.410><c> analogy</c><00:05:02.910><c> for</c><00:05:03.470><c> us</c><00:05:03.709><c> in</c><00:05:03.850><c> the</c>

00:05:04.050 --> 00:05:06.990
truth,<00:05:04.290><c> to</c><00:05:04.449><c> remember</c><00:05:05.230><c> our</c><00:05:06.310><c> father</c><00:05:06.670><c> is</c>

00:05:06.990 --> 00:05:11.709
the<00:05:07.209><c> husbandman,</c><00:05:07.810><c> Jesus</c><00:05:08.310><c> is</c><00:05:08.689><c> the</c><00:05:08.930><c> vine,</c><00:05:09.269><c> and</c><00:05:09.509><c> we</c><00:05:09.730><c> are</c><00:05:09.970><c> a</c><00:05:10.170><c> branch,</c><00:05:11.589><c> and</c>

00:05:13.129 --> 00:05:14.910
so<00:05:13.370><c> that</c><00:05:13.550><c> we</c><00:05:13.629><c> might</c><00:05:13.889><c> produce</c><00:05:14.269><c> more</c><00:05:14.589><c> fruit.</c>

00:05:15.389 --> 00:05:19.550
If<00:05:15.870><c> our</c><00:05:16.170><c> life</c><00:05:16.389><c> is</c><00:05:16.689><c> taken</c><00:05:16.910><c> up</c><00:05:17.170><c> in</c><00:05:17.490><c> serving</c><00:05:17.730><c> self,</c><00:05:18.370><c> if</c><00:05:18.509><c> it's</c><00:05:18.709><c> done,</c><00:05:19.410><c> if</c>

00:05:19.550 --> 00:05:20.870
it's<00:05:19.870><c> that</c><00:05:20.009><c> way</c><00:05:20.209><c> because</c><00:05:20.529><c> we've</c>

00:05:29.230 --> 00:05:32.029

00:05:32.029 --> 00:05:37.850
of<00:05:32.209><c> love,</c><00:05:33.649><c> he</c><00:05:33.730><c> does</c><00:05:33.970><c> that</c><00:05:34.170><c> because</c><00:05:34.430><c> he</c><00:05:34.610><c> knows</c><00:05:35.350><c> that</c><00:05:36.430><c> apart</c><00:05:36.689><c> from</c><00:05:36.990><c> that</c><00:05:37.410><c> we</c>

00:05:37.850 --> 00:05:38.910
would<00:05:38.089><c> produce</c><00:05:38.430><c> fruit</c><00:05:38.730><c> that</c>

00:05:38.910 --> 00:05:41.689

00:05:41.689 --> 00:05:43.829
would<00:05:41.910><c> produce</c><00:05:42.269><c> what</c><00:05:42.550><c> we</c><00:05:42.810><c> wanted</c><00:05:43.009><c> to.</c>

00:05:44.089 --> 00:05:48.029
So<00:05:44.310><c> it's</c><00:05:44.509><c> a</c><00:05:44.689><c> very</c><00:05:45.209><c> valuable</c><00:05:46.089><c> analogy</c><00:05:46.750><c> for</c><00:05:47.170><c> people</c><00:05:47.529><c> who</c><00:05:47.810><c> want</c>

00:05:52.889 --> 00:05:55.709
that's<00:05:53.189><c> what</c><00:05:53.490><c> following</c><00:05:53.750><c> is,</c><00:05:54.949><c> we're</c><00:05:55.329><c> following</c>

00:05:59.290 --> 00:06:01.170
sometimes<00:05:59.790><c> we</c><00:06:00.029><c> don't</c><00:06:00.290><c> listen</c><00:06:00.610><c> very</c><00:06:00.990><c> well,</c>

00:06:01.209 --> 00:06:03.110
we<00:06:01.329><c> don't</c><00:06:01.550><c> see</c><00:06:01.870><c> these</c><00:06:02.149><c> things.</c>

00:06:03.470 --> 00:06:06.689

00:06:13.889 --> 00:06:19.670
Everything<00:06:14.329><c> else</c><00:06:15.129><c> is</c><00:06:17.089><c> there</c><00:06:17.370><c> but</c><00:06:18.029><c> not</c><00:06:18.689><c> necessarily</c><00:06:19.329><c> needed,</c>

00:06:19.949 --> 00:06:22.230
not<00:06:20.310><c> necessarily</c><00:06:20.930><c> even</c><00:06:21.310><c> helpful,</c><00:06:21.930><c> and</c>

00:06:22.230 --> 00:06:23.730
sometimes<00:06:22.689><c> hurtful.</c>

00:06:24.149 --> 00:06:25.850
Like<00:06:24.269><c> we</c><00:06:24.370><c> just</c><00:06:24.509><c> added</c><00:06:24.689><c> things</c><00:06:24.990><c> that</c><00:06:25.189><c> are</c><00:06:25.250><c> not</c><00:06:25.430><c> going</c><00:06:25.589><c> to</c><00:06:25.709><c> help</c>

00:06:28.350 --> 00:06:31.550
So<00:06:28.829><c> that's</c><00:06:29.310><c> all</c><00:06:29.529><c> we</c><00:06:29.730><c> can</c><00:06:29.949><c> say</c><00:06:30.170><c> about</c><00:06:30.410><c> that</c><00:06:30.769><c> analogy,</c><00:06:31.209><c> but</c><00:06:31.410><c> it</c>

00:06:31.550 --> 00:06:33.389
is<00:06:31.769><c> very</c><00:06:32.110><c> helpful</c><00:06:32.449><c> to</c><00:06:32.730><c> think</c><00:06:32.910><c> of</c><00:06:33.089><c> that,</c><00:06:33.250><c> if</c>

00:06:33.389 --> 00:06:37.009

00:06:38.329 --> 00:06:42.629
Now<00:06:38.589><c> you</c><00:06:38.790><c> can</c><00:06:39.170><c> never</c><00:06:39.790><c> all</c><00:06:40.850><c> at</c><00:06:41.149><c> the</c><00:06:41.350><c> same</c><00:06:41.589><c> time</c><00:06:41.810><c> forget</c><00:06:42.269><c> about</c>

00:06:45.629 --> 00:06:46.449
in<00:06:45.990><c> these</c><00:06:46.310><c> things.</c>

00:06:46.470 --> 00:06:49.709
This<00:06:46.649><c> is</c><00:06:46.889><c> not</c><00:06:47.029><c> necessarily</c><00:06:47.709><c> true</c><00:06:48.470><c> for</c><00:06:48.790><c> everybody</c><00:06:49.269><c> who</c><00:06:49.490><c> thinks</c>

00:10:11.710 --> 00:10:15.129
specially<00:10:12.129><c> equipping</c><00:10:12.750><c> him,</c><00:10:13.850><c> putting</c><00:10:14.049><c> him</c><00:10:14.289><c> in</c><00:10:14.409><c> a</c><00:10:14.590><c> body</c><00:10:14.830><c> like</c>

00:10:15.129 --> 00:10:17.710
we<00:10:15.409><c> have</c><00:10:15.610><c> with</c><00:10:15.870><c> all</c><00:10:16.029><c> those</c><00:10:16.250><c> temptations,</c>

00:10:23.649 --> 00:10:24.570

will,<00:10:25.789><c> that</c><00:10:26.210><c> made</c><00:10:26.730><c> the</c><00:10:27.129><c> difference</c><00:10:27.409><c> with</c><00:10:27.629><c> Jesus.</c>

00:10:28.149 --> 00:10:33.590
He<00:10:28.610><c> was</c><00:10:28.970><c> given</c><00:10:29.250><c> a</c><00:10:30.250><c> quick</c><00:10:30.610><c> perception</c><00:10:31.389><c> of</c><00:10:32.370><c> the</c><00:10:32.590><c> situation</c><00:10:33.190><c> and</c>

00:10:33.590 --> 00:10:35.549
we<00:10:33.850><c> see</c><00:10:34.009><c> that</c><00:10:34.289><c> through</c><00:10:34.570><c> the</c><00:10:34.809><c> gospel</c><00:10:35.129><c> records</c>

00:10:35.549 --> 00:10:39.470
of<00:10:35.750><c> how</c><00:10:35.970><c> he</c><00:10:36.190><c> could</c><00:10:36.549><c> see</c><00:10:36.850><c> something</c><00:10:37.269><c> coming</c><00:10:37.649><c> and</c><00:10:38.230><c> he</c><00:10:38.370><c> could</c><00:10:38.549><c> answer</c><00:10:38.850><c> it</c>

00:10:39.470 --> 00:10:42.909
and<00:10:39.649><c> he</c><00:10:40.009><c> was</c><00:10:40.389><c> prepared</c><00:10:41.070><c> to</c><00:10:42.429><c> see</c>

00:10:42.909 --> 00:10:46.750
the<00:10:43.250><c> price</c><00:10:43.570><c> of</c><00:10:43.909><c> obedience,</c><00:10:44.549><c> but</c><00:10:44.850><c> not</c><00:10:45.169><c> by</c><00:10:45.490><c> trial</c><00:10:45.690><c> and</c><00:10:45.929><c> error.</c>

00:10:47.429 --> 00:10:49.850
He<00:10:47.529><c> didn't</c><00:10:47.970><c> try</c><00:10:48.330><c> something</c><00:10:48.669><c> out</c><00:10:48.850><c> to</c><00:10:49.029><c> see</c><00:10:49.210><c> what</c><00:10:49.330><c> it</c><00:10:49.470><c> was</c><00:10:49.649><c> right</c>

00:10:49.850 --> 00:10:50.970
or<00:10:50.070><c> wrong.</c>

00:10:50.899 --> 00:10:55.250
He<00:10:51.230><c> looked</c><00:10:51.690><c> at</c><00:10:51.889><c> it,</c><00:10:52.509><c> assessed</c><00:10:52.809><c> it,</c><00:10:53.590><c> and</c><00:10:54.370><c> then</c><00:10:54.549><c> he</c><00:10:54.750><c> proceeded</c>

00:10:55.250 --> 00:10:58.070
and<00:10:56.490><c> in</c><00:10:56.789><c> that</c><00:10:56.970><c> way</c><00:10:57.129><c> was</c><00:10:57.370><c> faithful</c><00:10:57.730><c> to</c>

00:10:58.070 --> 00:10:59.789
his<00:10:58.470><c> heavenly</c><00:10:58.830><c> father.</c>

00:11:00.450 --> 00:11:03.850
So<00:11:00.710><c> we</c><00:11:01.070><c> ended</c><00:11:01.330><c> up</c><00:11:01.809><c> yesterday</c><00:11:02.250><c> really</c><00:11:02.669><c> talking</c><00:11:02.950><c> about</c><00:11:03.490><c> having</c>

00:11:03.850 --> 00:11:07.110
the<00:11:04.190><c> same</c><00:11:04.429><c> mind</c><00:11:05.029><c> as</c><00:11:05.669><c> Jesus</c><00:11:06.090><c> Christ.</c>

00:11:08.029 --> 00:11:12.450
Now<00:11:08.190><c> there's</c><00:11:08.549><c> another</c><00:11:08.789><c> sense</c><00:11:09.330><c> in</c><00:11:09.750><c> which</c><00:11:10.070><c> when</c><00:11:10.269><c> we</c><00:11:10.610><c> follow</c><00:11:10.889><c> Jesus,</c><00:11:12.190><c> and</c>

00:11:12.450 --> 00:11:13.690
these<00:11:12.669><c> are</c><00:11:12.889><c> not</c><00:11:13.110><c> exhaustive,</c>

00:11:13.710 --> 00:11:16.909
I'm<00:11:13.850><c> not</c><00:11:14.129><c> trying</c><00:11:14.350><c> to</c><00:11:15.230><c> illustrate</c><00:11:15.669><c> them</c><00:11:15.909><c> by</c><00:11:16.190><c> being</c><00:11:16.570><c> trying</c><00:11:16.789><c> to</c>

00:11:16.909 --> 00:11:18.669
look<00:11:17.129><c> at</c><00:11:17.350><c> all</c><00:11:17.549><c> of</c><00:11:17.730><c> the</c><00:11:18.129><c> various</c><00:11:18.370><c> ways</c>

00:11:18.669 --> 00:11:24.230
in<00:11:18.769><c> which</c><00:11:18.970><c> Jesus</c><00:11:19.409><c> is</c><00:11:19.789><c> elevated</c><00:11:20.230><c> and</c><00:11:21.250><c> seen</c><00:11:21.669><c> as</c><00:11:21.929><c> a</c><00:11:22.110><c> beacon</c><00:11:22.350><c> to</c><00:11:22.730><c> follow,</c><00:11:23.649><c> but</c><00:11:23.769><c> this</c><00:11:24.009><c> is</c>

00:11:24.230 --> 00:11:24.649
another<00:11:24.429><c> one,</c>

00:11:24.649 --> 00:11:26.049
it's<00:11:24.909><c> a</c><00:11:24.990><c> very</c><00:11:25.230><c> important</c><00:11:25.690><c> one.</c>

00:11:26.250 --> 00:11:29.789
In<00:11:26.350><c> John</c><00:11:26.570><c> 8</c><00:11:26.769><c> verse</c><00:11:27.029><c> 12,</c><00:11:27.929><c> then</c><00:11:28.169><c> spake</c><00:11:28.529><c> Jesus</c><00:11:28.970><c> again</c><00:11:29.330><c> unto</c><00:11:29.529><c> them</c>

00:11:29.789 --> 00:11:31.789
saying,<00:11:30.169><c> I</c><00:11:30.409><c> am</c><00:11:30.730><c> the</c><00:11:30.990><c> light</c><00:11:31.110><c> of</c><00:11:31.289><c> the</c><00:11:31.450><c> world.</c>

00:11:32.149 --> 00:11:35.929
He<00:11:32.370><c> that</c><00:11:32.690><c> followeth</c><00:11:33.190><c> me</c><00:11:33.730><c> shall</c><00:11:34.009><c> not</c><00:11:34.269><c> walk</c><00:11:34.549><c> in</c><00:11:34.769><c> darkness,</c><00:11:35.730><c> but</c>

00:11:35.929 --> 00:11:37.769
shall<00:11:36.110><c> have</c><00:11:36.330><c> the</c><00:11:36.549><c> light</c><00:11:36.669><c> of</c><00:11:36.909><c> life.</c>

00:11:39.009 --> 00:11:44.629
So<00:11:39.450><c> yes,</c><00:11:39.629><c> if</c><00:11:39.850><c> we</c><00:11:40.110><c> see</c><00:11:40.350><c> the</c><00:11:40.649><c> light,</c><00:11:41.710><c> we</c><00:11:42.009><c> are</c><00:11:42.269><c> very</c><00:11:43.250><c> much</c><00:11:43.490><c> impressed</c><00:11:43.990><c> by</c><00:11:44.330><c> light.</c>

00:11:44.629 --> 00:11:49.789
We<00:11:45.250><c> have</c><00:11:46.269><c> it</c><00:11:46.929><c> usually</c><00:11:47.309><c> set</c><00:11:47.590><c> up</c><00:11:47.730><c> in</c><00:11:47.889><c> our</c><00:11:48.049><c> house</c><00:11:48.269><c> so</c><00:11:48.509><c> that</c><00:11:48.990><c> we</c><00:11:49.549><c> can</c>

00:11:49.789 --> 00:11:51.070
go<00:11:50.009><c> through</c><00:11:50.210><c> our</c><00:11:50.370><c> house</c><00:11:50.549><c> by</c><00:11:50.750><c> turning</c>

00:11:51.070 --> 00:11:51.789
on<00:11:51.350><c> lights.</c>

00:11:52.149 --> 00:11:54.470
When<00:11:52.309><c> the</c><00:11:52.470><c> lights</c><00:11:52.610><c> are</c><00:11:52.769><c> lit,</c><00:11:52.830><c> we</c><00:11:52.929><c> can</c><00:11:53.490><c> do</c><00:11:53.629><c> what</c><00:11:53.789><c> we</c><00:11:53.970><c> want</c><00:11:54.149><c> and</c>

00:11:54.470 --> 00:11:55.889
we<00:11:54.669><c> turn</c><00:11:54.830><c> the</c><00:11:54.970><c> lights</c><00:11:55.090><c> out</c><00:11:55.250><c> as</c><00:11:55.409><c> we</c><00:11:55.470><c> go</c><00:11:55.690><c> out.</c>

00:11:56.009 --> 00:11:59.110
That's<00:11:56.450><c> just</c><00:11:56.730><c> a</c><00:11:56.909><c> pattern</c><00:11:57.230><c> that</c><00:11:57.409><c> we</c><00:11:57.629><c> follow</c><00:11:57.850><c> in</c><00:11:58.029><c> our</c><00:11:58.190><c> life.</c>

00:12:00.330 --> 00:12:03.190
But<00:12:00.610><c> Jesus</c><00:12:01.009><c> is</c><00:12:01.450><c> unique</c><00:12:01.889><c> in</c><00:12:02.129><c> this.</c>

00:12:03.570 --> 00:12:08.210
He<00:12:04.009><c> is,</c><00:12:04.629><c> as</c><00:12:04.950><c> he</c><00:12:05.129><c> says,</c><00:12:05.509><c> I</c><00:12:05.889><c> am</c><00:12:06.370><c> the</c><00:12:06.730><c> light</c><00:12:06.950><c> of</c><00:12:07.190><c> the</c><00:12:07.350><c> world.</c>

00:12:08.909 --> 00:12:12.509
He<00:12:09.129><c> didn't</c><00:12:09.429><c> claim</c><00:12:09.710><c> he</c><00:12:09.889><c> was</c><00:12:10.429><c> one</c><00:12:10.750><c> of</c><00:12:10.889><c> the</c><00:12:11.029><c> lights</c><00:12:11.269><c> of</c><00:12:11.490><c> the</c><00:12:11.649><c> world.</c>

00:12:12.649 --> 00:12:15.870
He<00:12:13.190><c> says,</c><00:12:13.830><c> I</c><00:12:13.830><c> am</c><00:12:14.230><c> the</c><00:12:14.370><c> light</c><00:12:14.509><c> of</c><00:12:14.710><c> the</c><00:12:14.850><c> world.</c>

00:12:17.470 --> 00:12:20.529
Now<00:12:17.629><c> that's</c><00:12:17.830><c> rather</c><00:12:18.070><c> bigoted</c><00:12:18.629><c> because</c><00:12:19.789><c> there's</c><00:12:20.029><c> many</c><00:12:20.269><c> other</c>

00:12:20.529 --> 00:12:22.649
people,<00:12:21.110><c> many</c><00:12:21.370><c> other</c><00:12:21.690><c> gods</c><00:12:22.070><c> that</c><00:12:22.429><c> claim</c>

00:12:22.649 --> 00:12:25.429
that<00:12:23.070><c> they</c><00:12:23.490><c> are</c><00:12:23.870><c> the</c><00:12:23.970><c> light</c><00:12:24.110><c> of</c><00:12:24.269><c> the</c><00:12:24.409><c> world,</c><00:12:24.730><c> gods</c><00:12:25.029><c> in</c><00:12:25.309><c> the</c>

00:12:25.429 --> 00:12:26.590
human<00:12:25.629><c> sense.</c>

00:12:27.269 --> 00:12:30.549
Now<00:12:27.409><c> Jesus</c><00:12:27.649><c> says,</c><00:12:28.129><c> I</c><00:12:28.409><c> am</c><00:12:28.629><c> the</c><00:12:28.850><c> light</c><00:12:29.169><c> of</c><00:12:29.429><c> the</c><00:12:29.590><c> world.</c>

00:12:30.850 --> 00:12:36.110
So<00:12:31.049><c> it's</c><00:12:31.269><c> not</c><00:12:31.429><c> Mohammed,</c><00:12:33.289><c> it's</c><00:12:33.610><c> not</c><00:12:33.789><c> Joseph</c><00:12:34.169><c> Smith,</c><00:12:35.629><c> it's</c><00:12:35.889><c> not</c>

00:12:36.110 --> 00:12:39.309

the<00:12:58.570><c> nations</c><00:12:58.850><c> and</c><00:12:59.029><c> you</c><00:12:59.149><c> just</c><00:12:59.370><c> work</c><00:12:59.549><c> with</c><00:12:59.830><c> everybody.</c>

00:13:00.250 --> 00:13:02.649
You<00:13:00.389><c> take</c><00:13:00.570><c> an</c><00:13:00.809><c> opinion</c><00:13:01.090><c> poll</c><00:13:01.429><c> and</c><00:13:01.889><c> find</c><00:13:02.090><c> out</c><00:13:02.210><c> what</c><00:13:02.350><c> everyone</c>

00:13:05.950 --> 00:13:06.769
No,<00:13:06.110><c> it's</c><00:13:06.289><c> not</c><00:13:06.409><c> of</c><00:13:06.549><c> those.</c>

00:13:06.769 --> 00:13:11.110
Jesus<00:13:07.450><c> is</c><00:13:07.750><c> unique</c><00:13:08.370><c> not</c><00:13:09.529><c> just</c><00:13:09.830><c> in</c><00:13:09.990><c> the</c><00:13:10.269><c> claim</c><00:13:10.549><c> to</c><00:13:10.750><c> be</c><00:13:10.889><c> the</c><00:13:11.029><c> light</c>

00:13:13.090 --> 00:13:14.990
he<00:13:13.330><c> offers</c><00:13:13.730><c> to</c><00:13:13.970><c> the</c><00:13:14.129><c> world.</c>

00:13:15.190 --> 00:13:17.789
So<00:13:15.289><c> in</c><00:13:15.470><c> this</c><00:13:15.690><c> we</c><00:13:15.850><c> must</c><00:13:16.129><c> take</c><00:13:16.450><c> the</c><00:13:16.710><c> role</c><00:13:17.009><c> of</c><00:13:17.309><c> a</c><00:13:17.470><c> bigot.</c>

00:13:21.330 --> 00:13:24.490
And<00:13:21.490><c> so</c><00:13:21.649><c> sometimes</c><00:13:22.269><c> it</c><00:13:22.450><c> might</c><00:13:22.629><c> be</c><00:13:22.870><c> appropriate</c><00:13:23.429><c> because</c><00:13:24.009><c> people</c><00:13:24.330><c> have</c>

00:13:24.490 --> 00:13:26.629

I<00:13:27.330><c> love</c><00:13:27.490><c> these</c><00:13:27.750><c> t</c><00:13:28.049><c>-shirts</c><00:13:28.269><c> that</c><00:13:29.169><c> they</c><00:13:29.450><c> make.</c>

00:13:29.590 --> 00:13:32.649
I<00:13:29.970><c> wear</c><00:13:30.190><c> them</c><00:13:30.450><c> all</c><00:13:30.730><c> the</c><00:13:30.889><c> time</c><00:13:31.090><c> around</c><00:13:31.409><c> town</c><00:13:31.830><c> whenever</c><00:13:32.129><c> I</c><00:13:32.389><c> can</c>

00:13:32.649 --> 00:13:36.730

00:13:37.029 --> 00:13:40.809
So<00:13:37.029><c> people</c><00:13:37.529><c> don't</c><00:13:37.970><c> take</c><00:13:38.230><c> you</c><00:13:38.409><c> for</c><00:13:38.629><c> granted</c><00:13:38.889><c> because</c><00:13:39.230><c> they</c><00:13:39.710><c> see</c><00:13:39.929><c> you.</c>

00:13:40.870 --> 00:13:43.409
You<00:13:41.070><c> wouldn't</c><00:13:41.330><c> wear</c><00:13:41.610><c> a</c><00:13:41.730><c> shirt</c><00:13:41.889><c> like</c><00:13:42.169><c> that</c><00:13:42.309><c> with</c><00:13:42.490><c> a</c><00:13:42.610><c> Bible</c><00:13:42.830><c> verse</c><00:13:43.110><c> on</c><00:13:43.289><c> it.</c>

00:13:43.409 --> 00:13:46.850
You<00:13:43.509><c> wouldn't</c><00:13:43.850><c> wear</c><00:13:44.649><c> something</c><00:13:45.129><c> that</c><00:13:45.370><c> attracts</c><00:13:46.009><c> people</c><00:13:46.629><c> to</c>

00:13:48.429 --> 00:13:50.289
in<00:13:48.649><c> this</c><00:13:48.909><c> verse</c><00:13:49.169><c> unless</c><00:13:49.529><c> you</c><00:13:49.889><c> believed</c><00:13:50.149><c> it.</c>

00:13:50.309 --> 00:13:52.570
And<00:13:50.470><c> I</c><00:13:50.710><c> think</c><00:13:50.870><c> that's</c><00:13:51.149><c> the</c><00:13:51.250><c> way</c><00:13:51.330><c> we</c><00:13:51.509><c> should</c><00:13:51.669><c> be.</c>

00:13:52.909 --> 00:13:55.370
You<00:13:53.029><c> go</c><00:13:53.149><c> to</c><00:13:53.269><c> the</c><00:13:53.429><c> barbershop</c><00:13:53.929><c> and</c><00:13:54.049><c> you</c><00:13:54.190><c> sit</c><00:13:54.250><c> in</c><00:13:54.389><c> this</c><00:13:54.629><c> chair</c><00:13:54.830><c> and</c><00:13:55.049><c> it</c>

00:13:58.169 --> 00:14:00.669
Well<00:13:58.389><c> you</c><00:13:58.649><c> might</c><00:13:58.850><c> even</c><00:13:59.110><c> strike</c><00:13:59.309><c> up</c><00:13:59.529><c> a</c><00:13:59.750><c> conversation.</c>

00:14:02.110 --> 00:14:03.129
That's<00:14:02.549><c> the</c><00:14:02.870><c> spirit.</c>

00:14:03.590 --> 00:14:05.750
That's<00:14:03.889><c> a</c><00:14:04.110><c> good</c><00:14:04.289><c> thing</c><00:14:04.549><c> that</c><00:14:04.750><c> we've</c><00:14:05.009><c> got</c><00:14:05.169><c> going</c><00:14:05.370><c> for</c><00:14:05.610><c> us.</c>

I<00:14:06.070><c> just</c><00:14:06.389><c> think</c><00:14:06.649><c> we</c><00:14:06.850><c> should</c><00:14:06.990><c> all</c><00:14:07.230><c> do</c><00:14:07.450><c> that</c><00:14:07.669><c> and</c><00:14:08.090><c> carry</c><00:14:08.350><c> it</c><00:14:08.529><c> on</c><00:14:08.649><c> to</c>

00:14:50.629 --> 00:14:55.330
And<00:14:51.190><c> it</c><00:14:51.529><c> says</c><00:14:51.789><c> it</c><00:14:52.029><c> came</c><00:14:52.309><c> to</c><00:14:52.669><c> pass</c><00:14:53.190><c> when</c><00:14:53.809><c> the</c><00:14:54.129><c> time</c><00:14:54.330><c> was</c><00:14:54.669><c> come</c><00:14:54.909><c> that</c><00:14:55.090><c> he</c>

00:14:57.009 --> 00:15:00.929
He<00:14:57.070><c> steadfastly</c><00:14:57.970><c> set</c><00:14:58.129><c> his</c><00:14:58.529><c> face</c><00:14:58.750><c> to</c><00:14:59.009><c> go</c><00:14:59.190><c> to</c><00:14:59.470><c> Jerusalem</c><00:14:59.990><c> and</c>

00:15:03.330 --> 00:15:06.669
And<00:15:03.769><c> they</c><00:15:03.970><c> went</c><00:15:04.210><c> and</c><00:15:04.409><c> entered</c><00:15:04.549><c> into</c><00:15:04.850><c> a</c><00:15:05.070><c> village</c><00:15:05.309><c> of</c><00:15:05.549><c> the</c><00:15:05.690><c> Samaritans</c><00:15:06.330><c> to</c>

00:15:08.850 --> 00:15:11.370
And<00:15:09.149><c> they</c><00:15:09.269><c> did</c><00:15:09.470><c> not</c><00:15:09.649><c> receive</c><00:15:09.990><c> him</c><00:15:10.169><c> because</c><00:15:10.490><c> his</c><00:15:10.769><c> face</c><00:15:10.950><c> was</c><00:15:11.210><c> as</c>

00:15:13.389 --> 00:15:16.909
And<00:15:13.950><c> when</c><00:15:14.129><c> his</c><00:15:14.370><c> disciples</c><00:15:14.909><c> James</c><00:15:15.470><c> and</c><00:15:15.789><c> John</c><00:15:16.009><c> saw</c><00:15:16.330><c> this</c><00:15:16.610><c> they</c>

00:15:16.909 --> 00:15:19.649
said,<00:15:17.830><c> Lord</c><00:15:18.190><c> will</c><00:15:18.629><c> thou</c><00:15:18.789><c> that</c><00:15:18.990><c> we</c><00:15:19.250><c> command</c>

00:15:24.629 --> 00:15:27.850
But<00:15:24.889><c> he</c><00:15:25.190><c> turned</c><00:15:25.450><c> and</c><00:15:25.710><c> rebuked</c><00:15:26.070><c> them</c><00:15:26.450><c> and</c><00:15:26.850><c> said,</c><00:15:27.090><c> you</c><00:15:27.370><c> know</c><00:15:27.610><c> not</c>

00:15:27.850 --> 00:15:30.169

00:15:30.370 --> 00:15:33.509
For<00:15:30.549><c> the</c><00:15:30.730><c> Son</c><00:15:30.850><c> of</c><00:15:31.009><c> Man</c><00:15:31.129><c> has</c><00:15:31.350><c> not</c><00:15:31.610><c> come</c><00:15:31.789><c> to</c><00:15:32.009><c> destroy</c><00:15:32.470><c> men's</c><00:15:32.990><c> lives</c><00:15:33.230><c> but</c>

to<00:15:33.850><c> save</c><00:15:34.049><c> them.</c>

00:15:35.409 --> 00:15:37.289
They<00:15:35.629><c> went</c><00:15:35.850><c> to</c><00:15:36.090><c> another</c><00:15:36.330><c> village.</c>

00:15:37.850 --> 00:15:40.730
Now<00:15:38.529><c> I</c><00:15:38.730><c> want</c><00:15:38.950><c> to</c><00:15:39.110><c> carry</c><00:15:39.289><c> on</c><00:15:39.470><c> with</c><00:15:39.649><c> that</c><00:15:39.809><c> but</c><00:15:40.070><c> first</c><00:15:40.389><c> of</c><00:15:40.570><c> all</c>

00:15:40.730 --> 00:15:42.429

00:15:44.490 --> 00:15:47.990
Now<00:15:44.690><c> it's</c><00:15:45.129><c> really</c><00:15:45.570><c> really</c><00:15:46.389><c> important</c><00:15:46.889><c> to</c><00:15:47.090><c> know</c><00:15:47.230><c> what</c><00:15:47.690><c> manner</c>

00:15:47.990 --> 00:15:50.169

00:15:50.929 --> 00:15:54.889
And<00:15:51.250><c> I</c><00:15:51.509><c> think</c><00:15:51.750><c> we</c><00:15:52.129><c> stumble</c><00:15:52.590><c> today</c><00:15:53.110><c> on</c><00:15:53.549><c> this</c><00:15:53.850><c> one</c><00:15:54.070><c> just</c><00:15:54.389><c> like</c>

00:15:54.889 --> 00:15:56.009
the<00:15:55.250><c> disciples</c><00:15:55.649><c> did.</c>

00:15:56.490 --> 00:16:01.009
As<00:15:56.629><c> someone's</c><00:15:57.169><c> opposing</c><00:15:57.549><c> us,</c><00:15:58.830><c> let's</c><00:15:59.330><c> destroy</c><00:15:59.710><c> them.</c>

00:16:01.470 --> 00:16:05.090
If<00:16:01.950><c> they</c><00:16:02.129><c> had</c><00:16:02.230><c> the</c><00:16:02.470><c> power</c><00:16:02.789><c> of</c><00:16:03.210><c> Elijah</c><00:16:03.649><c> they</c><00:16:04.309><c> could</c><00:16:04.529><c> cause</c><00:16:04.809><c> fire</c>

00:16:05.090 --> 00:16:06.909
to<00:16:05.269><c> come</c><00:16:05.450><c> down</c><00:16:05.730><c> and</c><00:16:06.110><c> destroy</c><00:16:06.669><c> them.</c>

00:16:07.090 --> 00:16:09.389
God<00:16:07.309><c> would</c><00:16:07.889><c> work</c><00:16:08.169><c> with</c><00:16:08.330><c> them</c><00:16:08.429><c> in</c><00:16:08.590><c> that</c><00:16:08.830><c> same</c><00:16:09.070><c> sense.</c>

00:16:09.570 --> 00:16:11.669
But<00:16:09.669><c> Jesus</c><00:16:09.950><c> says,</c><00:16:10.450><c> no</c><00:16:10.529><c> this</c><00:16:10.690><c> is</c><00:16:10.850><c> not</c><00:16:10.950><c> what</c><00:16:11.070><c> we're</c><00:16:11.309><c> going</c><00:16:11.429><c> to</c><00:16:11.590><c> do</c>

00:16:11.669 --> 00:16:13.450
because<00:16:12.190><c> you</c><00:16:12.570><c> don't</c><00:16:12.830><c> understand</c>

00:16:13.450 --> 00:16:16.529
the<00:16:13.889><c> spirit</c><00:16:14.370><c> that</c><00:16:15.429><c> we</c><00:16:15.610><c> are</c><00:16:15.789><c> of.</c>

00:16:16.629 --> 00:16:19.389
You<00:16:16.789><c> don't</c><00:16:16.950><c> understand</c><00:16:17.429><c> what</c><00:16:17.629><c> you're</c><00:16:17.950><c> following</c><00:16:18.470><c> in</c><00:16:19.169><c> another</c>

way<00:16:19.610><c> of</c><00:16:19.830><c> saying</c><00:16:20.009><c> it.</c>

00:16:21.450 --> 00:16:24.690
You<00:16:21.629><c> come</c><00:16:21.750><c> to</c><00:16:22.090><c> save</c><00:16:22.370><c> people,</c><00:16:22.950><c> not</c><00:16:23.250><c> to</c><00:16:23.750><c> kill</c><00:16:23.970><c> them,</c><00:16:24.190><c> not</c><00:16:24.470><c> to</c>

00:16:24.690 --> 00:16:25.750
hurt<00:16:24.870><c> them.</c>

00:16:26.110 --> 00:16:30.070
So<00:16:26.429><c> the</c><00:16:26.750><c> wisdom</c><00:16:27.129><c> is</c><00:16:27.350><c> to</c><00:16:27.669><c> try</c><00:16:27.830><c> to</c><00:16:28.230><c> turn</c><00:16:28.549><c> circumstances</c><00:16:29.330><c> around</c>

00:17:13.150 --> 00:17:14.549
We<00:17:13.369><c> want</c><00:17:13.569><c> nothing</c><00:17:13.849><c> to</c><00:17:14.089><c> do</c><00:17:14.190><c> with</c><00:17:14.390><c> you.</c>

00:17:14.609 --> 00:17:17.009
And<00:17:14.730><c> then</c><00:17:15.150><c> you</c><00:17:15.309><c> just</c><00:17:15.470><c> talk</c><00:17:15.650><c> to</c><00:17:15.809><c> brothers</c><00:17:16.009><c> and</c><00:17:16.269><c> sisters</c><00:17:16.609><c> around</c>

00:17:17.009 --> 00:17:19.130
the<00:17:17.210><c> world</c><00:17:17.490><c> and</c><00:17:17.630><c> you</c><00:17:17.809><c> find</c><00:17:18.069><c> that</c><00:17:18.730><c> some</c><00:17:18.970><c> of</c>

00:17:19.130 --> 00:17:23.289
these<00:17:19.309><c> brothers</c><00:17:19.569><c> and</c><00:17:19.789><c> sisters</c><00:17:20.049><c> came</c><00:17:20.289><c> from</c><00:17:21.130><c> a</c><00:17:21.329><c> very</c><00:17:21.750><c> unsavory</c><00:17:22.349><c> past.</c>

00:17:23.730 --> 00:17:28.450
If<00:17:24.210><c> we</c><00:17:24.410><c> had</c><00:17:24.569><c> seen</c><00:17:24.829><c> them</c><00:17:25.490><c> in</c><00:17:25.890><c> that</c><00:17:26.150><c> lifestyle</c><00:17:26.569><c> we</c><00:17:26.809><c> probably</c><00:17:27.170><c> would</c><00:17:27.450><c> have</c><00:17:27.829><c> just</c><00:17:27.970><c> gone</c><00:17:28.190><c> as</c>

00:17:28.450 --> 00:17:28.829
far<00:17:28.589><c> away</c>

00:17:28.829 --> 00:17:32.829
from<00:17:28.990><c> them</c><00:17:29.130><c> as</c><00:17:29.289><c> we</c><00:17:29.509><c> could</c><00:17:29.750><c> because</c><00:17:30.789><c> you</c><00:17:30.930><c> couldn't</c><00:17:31.089><c> imagine</c><00:17:31.470><c> how</c><00:17:31.670><c> God</c><00:17:31.930><c> would</c><00:17:32.089><c> ever</c><00:17:32.369><c> save</c><00:17:32.589><c> a</c>

those<00:17:33.670><c> kinds</c><00:17:33.970><c> of</c><00:17:34.130><c> things.</c>

00:17:36.109 --> 00:17:39.549
But<00:17:36.289><c> there's</c><00:17:36.630><c> brothers</c><00:17:36.910><c> and</c><00:17:37.289><c> sisters</c><00:17:37.670><c> today</c><00:17:38.369><c> who</c><00:17:39.130><c> have</c><00:17:39.369><c> come</c>

00:17:39.549 --> 00:17:42.089
out<00:17:39.730><c> of</c><00:17:39.849><c> that</c><00:17:40.309><c> because</c><00:17:41.430><c> someone</c><00:17:41.890><c> may</c>

00:17:42.089 --> 00:17:46.250
be<00:17:42.390><c> stopped</c><00:17:42.630><c> and</c><00:17:42.950><c> pointed</c><00:17:43.170><c> out</c><00:17:43.410><c> to</c><00:17:43.569><c> them</c><00:17:43.789><c> that</c><00:17:44.009><c> there's</c><00:17:44.329><c> a</c><00:17:44.509><c> better</c><00:17:44.730><c> way,</c><00:17:45.269><c> there's</c><00:17:45.450><c> something</c><00:17:45.670><c> else</c><00:17:45.950><c> you</c><00:17:46.130><c> should</c>

00:17:46.250 --> 00:17:47.210

00:17:47.210 --> 00:17:48.569
It's<00:17:47.849><c> just</c><00:17:48.009><c> a</c><00:17:48.349><c> spirit.</c>

00:17:48.750 --> 00:17:52.390
It's<00:17:48.849><c> not</c><00:17:49.089><c> easy</c><00:17:49.430><c> to</c><00:17:49.690><c> come</c><00:17:49.890><c> by</c><00:17:50.049><c> unless</c><00:17:50.349><c> you</c><00:17:50.930><c> sort</c><00:17:51.130><c> of</c><00:17:51.369><c> psych</c><00:17:51.529><c> yourself</c><00:17:51.990><c> up</c>

00:17:52.390 --> 00:17:54.910
to<00:17:53.130><c> think</c><00:17:53.289><c> that's</c><00:17:53.809><c> not</c><00:17:54.190><c> the</c>

00:17:54.910 --> 00:17:55.190
spirit.

00:17:55.269 --> 00:17:57.589
I've<00:17:55.769><c> got</c><00:17:55.910><c> to</c><00:17:56.109><c> think</c><00:17:56.289><c> differently</c><00:17:56.650><c> about</c><00:17:56.930><c> a</c><00:17:57.069><c> situation.</c>

00:17:57.950 --> 00:17:59.269
You<00:17:58.130><c> probably</c><00:17:58.589><c> never</c><00:17:58.890><c> change.</c>

00:17:59.410 --> 00:18:03.650
You<00:17:59.509><c> just</c><00:17:59.990><c> miss</c><00:18:00.410><c> every</c><00:18:00.849><c> situation</c><00:18:01.470><c> where</c><00:18:01.690><c> you</c><00:18:01.910><c> could</c><00:18:02.450><c> actually</c><00:18:03.049><c> do</c><00:18:03.289><c> some</c><00:18:03.490><c> good.</c>

00:18:03.690 --> 00:18:05.650
I<00:18:03.849><c> find</c><00:18:04.029><c> that's</c><00:18:04.369><c> very</c><00:18:04.569><c> true</c><00:18:04.670><c> of</c><00:18:04.849><c> myself.</c>

00:18:05.730 --> 00:18:12.990
I<00:18:06.089><c> find</c><00:18:06.470><c> I</c><00:18:07.170><c> very</c><00:18:07.910><c> quickly</c><00:18:08.630><c> try</c><00:18:09.630><c> to</c><00:18:11.069><c> avoid</c><00:18:11.670><c> situations</c><00:18:12.490><c> where</c>

00:18:12.990 --> 00:18:15.190
you're<00:18:13.289><c> having</c><00:18:13.490><c> to</c><00:18:14.089><c> rub</c><00:18:14.289><c> against</c><00:18:14.710><c> people</c>

00:18:15.190 --> 00:18:19.630
that<00:18:15.509><c> just</c><00:18:16.089><c> don't</c><00:18:16.529><c> display</c><00:18:17.069><c> anything</c><00:18:17.670><c> spiritual</c><00:18:18.390><c> at</c><00:18:18.769><c> all.</c>

00:18:21.250 --> 00:18:23.190
Then<00:18:21.390><c> you</c><00:18:21.549><c> talk</c><00:18:21.789><c> to</c><00:18:21.950><c> a</c><00:18:22.029><c> person</c><00:18:22.269><c> like</c><00:18:22.470><c> Brother</c><00:18:22.730><c> John</c><00:18:22.950><c> Martin.</c>

00:18:23.210 --> 00:18:25.190
I<00:18:23.309><c> don't</c><00:18:23.529><c> know</c><00:18:23.609><c> if</c><00:18:23.690><c> you</c><00:18:23.789><c> know</c><00:18:23.910><c> Brother</c><00:18:24.089><c> John</c><00:18:24.349><c> Martin,</c><00:18:24.670><c> probably</c><00:18:24.910><c> a</c><00:18:25.089><c> few</c>

00:18:25.190 --> 00:18:26.349

00:18:27.710 --> 00:18:29.789
And<00:18:27.910><c> he'll</c><00:18:28.089><c> tell</c><00:18:28.210><c> you</c><00:18:28.289><c> what</c><00:18:28.410><c> he</c><00:18:28.609><c> came</c><00:18:28.809><c> from.</c>

00:18:30.450 --> 00:18:35.029
And<00:18:30.630><c> you</c><00:18:30.789><c> talk</c><00:18:31.009><c> to</c><00:18:31.309><c> a</c><00:18:31.569><c> few</c><00:18:31.730><c> other</c><00:18:32.029><c> brothers</c><00:18:32.269><c> in</c><00:18:32.670><c> the</c><00:18:32.910><c> states</c><00:18:33.269><c> that</c><00:18:34.630><c> I</c>

00:18:35.029 --> 00:18:36.430

00:18:36.430 --> 00:18:41.410
a<00:18:37.190><c> really</c><00:18:37.589><c> rough</c><00:18:38.349><c> life</c><00:18:38.829><c> in</c><00:18:39.069><c> their</c><00:18:39.309><c> first</c><00:18:39.950><c> maybe</c><00:18:40.569><c> 20,</c><00:18:40.869><c> 30</c><00:18:41.150><c> years</c>

of<00:18:41.650><c> life.</c>

00:18:43.089 --> 00:18:46.470
And<00:18:43.690><c> then</c><00:18:43.950><c> found</c><00:18:44.109><c> it</c><00:18:44.250><c> was</c><00:18:44.450><c> unsatisfactory</c><00:18:45.250><c> and</c><00:18:45.549><c> changed.</c>

00:18:47.150 --> 00:18:50.289
You<00:18:47.269><c> see</c><00:18:47.410><c> there's</c><00:18:48.309><c> a</c><00:18:48.569><c> price</c><00:18:48.910><c> tag</c><00:18:49.170><c> to</c><00:18:49.430><c> that.</c>

00:18:50.950 --> 00:18:54.430
The<00:18:51.150><c> price</c><00:18:51.430><c> tag</c><00:18:51.650><c> is</c><00:18:52.150><c> probably</c><00:18:52.630><c> something</c><00:18:52.950><c> they</c><00:18:53.150><c> never</c><00:18:53.369><c> thought</c><00:18:53.589><c> of.</c>

00:18:55.069 --> 00:18:57.809
But<00:18:55.210><c> when</c><00:18:55.329><c> you're</c><00:18:55.450><c> laying</c><00:18:55.589><c> in</c><00:18:55.890><c> bed</c><00:18:56.269><c> at</c><00:18:56.609><c> night</c><00:18:56.869><c> and</c><00:18:57.150><c> your</c><00:18:57.410><c> mind</c>

00:19:05.250 --> 00:19:06.569
into<00:19:05.450><c> the</c><00:19:05.690><c> past.</c>

00:19:07.730 --> 00:19:11.410
And<00:19:08.250><c> you</c><00:19:08.769><c> might</c><00:19:08.950><c> even</c><00:19:09.329><c> for</c><00:19:09.569><c> a</c><00:19:09.750><c> while</c><00:19:09.990><c> contemplate</c><00:19:10.849><c> what</c><00:19:11.069><c> it</c>

00:19:11.410 --> 00:19:13.289
might<00:19:11.609><c> have</c><00:19:11.890><c> been</c><00:19:12.089><c> like</c><00:19:12.509><c> had</c><00:19:12.730><c> you</c><00:19:12.990><c> stayed</c>

00:19:13.289 --> 00:19:14.769
there.

00:19:15.329 --> 00:19:19.390
Well<00:19:15.329><c> the</c><00:19:15.369><c> Word</c><00:19:15.470><c> of</c><00:19:15.670><c> God</c><00:19:16.250><c> warns</c><00:19:17.049><c> us</c><00:19:17.349><c> against</c><00:19:17.849><c> that</c><00:19:18.230><c> kind</c><00:19:18.410><c> of</c><00:19:18.589><c> thing.</c>

00:19:19.509 --> 00:19:22.009
So<00:19:19.750><c> a</c><00:19:19.869><c> person</c><00:19:20.089><c> who</c><00:19:20.230><c> has</c><00:19:20.369><c> come</c><00:19:20.589><c> from</c><00:19:20.750><c> that</c><00:19:21.069><c> background</c><00:19:21.549><c> has</c><00:19:21.769><c> to</c>

00:19:28.109 --> 00:19:31.089
And<00:19:28.250><c> that's</c><00:19:29.029><c> coming</c><00:19:29.309><c> up</c><00:19:29.549><c> into</c><00:19:29.730><c> one</c><00:19:29.869><c> of</c><00:19:30.009><c> the</c><00:19:30.089><c> things</c><00:19:30.230><c> that</c><00:19:30.609><c> we're</c><00:19:30.809><c> going</c><00:19:30.910><c> to</c>

00:21:58.269 --> 00:22:00.349
If<00:21:58.410><c> you've</c><00:21:58.609><c> got</c><00:21:58.809><c> an</c><00:21:58.990><c> attitude,</c><00:21:59.309><c> you</c><00:21:59.450><c> want</c><00:21:59.589><c> to</c><00:21:59.789><c> destroy</c><00:22:00.089><c> them,</c>

00:22:00.349 --> 00:22:02.609
you're<00:22:00.769><c> not</c><00:22:01.289><c> fishing</c><00:22:01.569><c> in</c><00:22:01.789><c> the</c><00:22:01.910><c> way</c><00:22:02.049><c> that</c><00:22:02.410><c> he</c>

00:22:04.890 --> 00:22:08.049
So<00:22:05.130><c> when</c><00:22:05.250><c> it</c><00:22:05.410><c> came</c><00:22:05.569><c> to</c><00:22:05.769><c> this</c><00:22:05.990><c> next</c><00:22:06.250><c> little</c><00:22:06.509><c> bit,</c><00:22:07.589><c> the</c><00:22:07.670><c> life</c><00:22:07.849><c> of</c>

a<00:22:08.170><c> disciple</c><00:22:08.490><c> is</c><00:22:08.730><c> very</c><00:22:09.069><c> different</c><00:22:09.349><c> from</c>

00:22:09.650 --> 00:22:10.950
that<00:22:09.809><c> of</c><00:22:09.910><c> a</c><00:22:10.089><c> citizen</c><00:22:10.369><c> of</c><00:22:10.549><c> the</c><00:22:10.750><c> world.</c>

00:22:11.049 --> 00:22:14.710
The<00:22:11.309><c> person</c><00:22:11.710><c> was</c><00:22:12.369><c> an</c><00:22:12.670><c> enthusiastic</c><00:22:13.410><c> would</c><00:22:13.869><c>-be</c><00:22:14.190><c> follower</c><00:22:14.490><c> of</c>

00:22:14.710 --> 00:22:16.910
the<00:22:14.829><c> Lord,</c><00:22:15.029><c> but</c><00:22:15.250><c> likely</c><00:22:15.589><c> did</c><00:22:15.890><c> not</c><00:22:16.170><c> fully</c><00:22:16.470><c> appreciate</c>

00:22:16.910 --> 00:22:19.630
what<00:22:17.190><c> was</c><00:22:17.490><c> required,</c><00:22:17.990><c> so</c><00:22:18.130><c> that's</c><00:22:18.309><c> why</c><00:22:18.509><c> Jesus</c><00:22:18.849><c> answered</c><00:22:19.210><c> him.</c>

00:22:20.069 --> 00:22:25.430
But<00:22:20.349><c> we</c><00:22:20.650><c> need</c><00:22:20.890><c> to</c><00:22:21.210><c> count</c><00:22:21.430><c> the</c><00:22:21.789><c> cost</c><00:22:22.089><c> before</c><00:22:22.690><c> the</c><00:22:22.970><c> event,</c><00:22:23.930><c> not</c><00:22:24.309><c> after.</c>

00:22:26.809 --> 00:22:30.950
You<00:22:26.890><c> know,</c><00:22:27.049><c> and</c><00:22:27.130><c> if</c><00:22:27.250><c> anything,</c><00:22:28.690><c> I</c><00:22:28.789><c> can</c><00:22:28.990><c> remember,</c><00:22:29.529><c> I</c><00:22:29.670><c> was</c><00:22:29.710><c> baptized</c><00:22:30.069><c> fairly</c><00:22:30.410><c> early</c><00:22:30.750><c> in</c>

00:22:36.950 --> 00:22:38.869
had<00:22:37.069><c> no</c><00:22:37.329><c> idea</c><00:22:37.730><c> what</c><00:22:37.990><c> the</c><00:22:38.289><c> temptations</c>

00:22:50.410 --> 00:22:51.150
normally<00:22:50.849><c> do.</c>

00:22:51.309 --> 00:22:57.410
Like<00:22:51.470><c> those</c><00:22:51.650><c> are</c><00:22:52.049><c> temptations</c><00:22:52.690><c> which</c><00:22:52.970><c> are,</c><00:22:53.869><c> and</c><00:22:54.730><c> not</c><00:22:55.230><c> just</c><00:22:55.490><c> temptations,</c><00:22:56.329><c> but</c><00:22:56.509><c> involvements</c><00:22:57.130><c> of</c>

00:22:57.410 --> 00:23:00.950
things<00:22:57.650><c> which</c><00:22:58.630><c> you</c><00:22:59.009><c> probably</c><00:22:59.450><c> couldn't</c><00:22:59.869><c> contemplate</c><00:23:00.650><c> fully</c>

00:23:03.349 --> 00:23:09.849
So<00:23:04.029><c> we</c><00:23:04.710><c> need</c><00:23:04.930><c> to</c><00:23:06.809><c> help</c><00:23:07.009><c> our</c><00:23:07.430><c> teens</c><00:23:07.849><c> who</c><00:23:08.609><c> want</c><00:23:08.789><c> to</c><00:23:08.990><c> be</c><00:23:09.230><c> baptized</c>

00:23:09.849 --> 00:23:13.029

the<00:23:13.130><c> event,</c><00:23:13.569><c> because</c><00:23:13.990><c> we</c><00:23:14.230><c> are</c><00:23:14.470><c> told,</c><00:23:14.710><c> as</c><00:23:14.829><c> we</c><00:23:14.950><c> did</c><00:23:15.170><c> in</c><00:23:15.269><c> that</c><00:23:15.410><c> reading</c><00:23:15.589><c> this</c><00:23:15.869><c> morning,</c><00:23:16.069><c> and</c>

00:23:16.210 --> 00:23:16.450
we'll<00:23:16.289><c> look</c>

00:23:16.450 --> 00:23:20.369
a<00:23:16.589><c> little</c><00:23:16.930><c> at</c><00:23:17.170><c> that</c><00:23:17.369><c> in</c><00:23:17.509><c> a</c><00:23:17.609><c> minute,</c><00:23:18.890><c> don't</c><00:23:19.190><c> turn</c><00:23:19.470><c> back.</c>

00:23:21.390 --> 00:23:23.809
Like<00:23:21.609><c> once</c><00:23:21.730><c> you</c><00:23:22.009><c> start</c><00:23:22.190><c> on</c><00:23:22.369><c> this</c><00:23:22.650><c> road,</c><00:23:23.289><c> once</c><00:23:23.490><c> you're</c><00:23:23.630><c> going</c>

00:23:23.809 --> 00:23:27.269

00:23:28.390 --> 00:23:32.450
Well<00:23:28.690><c> then</c><00:23:28.829><c> you</c><00:23:28.970><c> better</c><00:23:29.369><c> make</c><00:23:29.630><c> a</c><00:23:29.829><c> better</c><00:23:30.809><c> assessment</c><00:23:31.509><c> of</c><00:23:31.910><c> what</c>

00:23:32.450 --> 00:23:35.450
following<00:23:32.769><c> the</c><00:23:33.049><c> Lord</c><00:23:33.289><c> needs,</c><00:23:34.390><c> and</c><00:23:35.170><c> I</c><00:23:35.329><c> think</c>

00:23:35.450 --> 00:23:38.430
that's<00:23:35.789><c> why</c><00:23:36.329><c> the</c><00:23:36.589><c> Lord</c><00:23:36.769><c> counseled</c><00:23:37.390><c> this</c><00:23:37.650><c> man.</c>

00:23:38.470 --> 00:23:40.470
You<00:23:38.750><c> want</c><00:23:38.910><c> to</c><00:23:39.150><c> follow</c><00:23:39.269><c> me?</c>

00:23:42.730 --> 00:23:48.369
Well,<00:23:43.289><c> foxes</c><00:23:43.849><c> have</c><00:23:44.009><c> holes,</c><00:23:44.990><c> the</c><00:23:45.230><c> birds</c><00:23:45.549><c> of</c><00:23:45.750><c> the</c><00:23:46.029><c> air</c><00:23:46.390><c> have</c><00:23:46.849><c> nests,</c><00:23:48.250><c> but</c>

00:23:48.369 --> 00:23:50.069

00:23:53.289 --> 00:23:55.930
And<00:23:53.589><c> sometimes</c><00:23:53.950><c> we</c><00:23:54.130><c> have</c><00:23:54.349><c> to</c><00:23:54.569><c> remind</c><00:23:54.849><c> ourselves</c><00:23:55.309><c> about</c><00:23:55.750><c> the</c>

to<00:23:58.250><c> the</c><00:23:58.349><c> way</c><00:23:58.650><c> we</c><00:23:58.970><c> live.</c>

00:24:00.910 --> 00:24:03.470
But<00:24:01.210><c> this</c><00:24:01.450><c> gets</c><00:24:01.730><c> a</c><00:24:01.849><c> little</c><00:24:02.029><c> more</c><00:24:02.329><c> involved,</c><00:24:03.009><c> because</c><00:24:03.210><c> see</c>

00:24:06.829 --> 00:24:11.390
He<00:24:07.650><c> said,</c><00:24:08.490><c> Lord,</c><00:24:08.869><c> suffer</c><00:24:09.049><c> me</c><00:24:09.349><c> first</c><00:24:09.569><c> to</c><00:24:09.769><c> go</c><00:24:09.910><c> and</c><00:24:10.089><c> bury</c><00:24:10.230><c> my</c><00:24:10.549><c> father.</c>

00:24:11.849 --> 00:24:15.190
And<00:24:12.029><c> Jesus</c><00:24:12.329><c> said</c><00:24:12.549><c> unto</c><00:24:12.710><c> him,</c><00:24:13.009><c> let</c><00:24:13.210><c> the</c><00:24:13.509><c> dead</c><00:24:13.730><c> bury</c><00:24:14.069><c> their</c><00:24:14.369><c> dead,</c><00:24:14.950><c> go</c>

of<00:24:16.549><c> God.</c>

00:24:16.670 --> 00:24:19.750
Now<00:24:16.829><c> you</c><00:24:16.930><c> can</c><00:24:17.130><c> see</c><00:24:17.210><c> if</c><00:24:17.329><c> you</c><00:24:17.470><c> don't</c><00:24:17.670><c> understand</c><00:24:18.089><c> what</c><00:24:18.250><c> Jesus</c><00:24:18.630><c> meant</c><00:24:18.869><c> there,</c><00:24:19.710><c> it</c>

00:24:27.509 --> 00:24:30.190
man<00:24:27.750><c> says,</c><00:24:28.450><c> suffer</c><00:24:28.650><c> me</c><00:24:28.890><c> first</c><00:24:29.109><c> to</c><00:24:29.289><c> go</c><00:24:29.430><c> and</c><00:24:29.589><c> bury</c><00:24:29.670><c> my</c><00:24:29.970><c> father,</c>

00:24:30.210 --> 00:24:32.589

00:24:34.150 --> 00:24:38.049
Now<00:24:34.670><c> that</c><00:24:34.890><c> must</c><00:24:35.450><c> have</c><00:24:35.630><c> come</c><00:24:35.730><c> to</c><00:24:35.910><c> your</c><00:24:36.150><c> mind</c><00:24:36.369><c> and</c><00:24:36.849><c> be</c><00:24:37.250><c> a</c><00:24:37.450><c> question</c><00:24:37.650><c> in</c><00:24:37.849><c> your</c>

00:24:39.690 --> 00:24:41.710

00:24:41.769 --> 00:24:44.670
But<00:24:42.009><c> the</c><00:24:42.190><c> scriptures</c><00:24:42.549><c> do</c><00:24:42.990><c> provide</c><00:24:43.569><c> this.</c>

00:24:44.910 --> 00:24:48.549

00:24:57.769 --> 00:25:01.750

00:25:20.269 --> 00:25:24.230
it<00:25:20.329><c> was</c><00:25:20.470><c> just</c><00:25:20.670><c> a</c><00:25:20.789><c> little</c><00:25:21.069><c> saying</c><00:25:21.349><c> that</c><00:25:21.609><c> people</c><00:25:21.910><c> said,</c><00:25:22.670><c> they</c><00:25:22.730><c> didn't</c><00:25:22.990><c> really</c><00:25:23.369><c> mean</c><00:25:23.589><c> that</c><00:25:23.750><c> they</c><00:25:23.829><c> had</c><00:25:23.950><c> to</c><00:25:24.049><c> go</c>

00:25:24.230 --> 00:25:27.069

00:25:28.450 --> 00:25:31.750
Like<00:25:28.589><c> you</c><00:25:28.670><c> can't</c><00:25:28.990><c> imagine</c><00:25:29.269><c> that</c><00:25:29.589><c> anybody</c><00:25:29.930><c> would</c><00:25:30.769><c> be</c><00:25:31.049><c> restrained</c><00:25:31.509><c> from</c>

00:25:31.750 --> 00:25:33.089
doing<00:25:31.930><c> that.</c>

00:25:34.890 --> 00:25:38.049
But<00:25:35.210><c> if</c><00:25:35.390><c> it</c><00:25:35.549><c> meant</c><00:25:35.690><c> this,</c><00:25:36.289><c> that's</c><00:25:36.609><c> quite</c><00:25:36.869><c> different.</c>

00:25:38.250 --> 00:25:41.730
Because<00:25:38.650><c> preaching</c><00:25:39.029><c> the</c><00:25:39.289><c> kingdom</c><00:25:39.509><c> of</c><00:25:39.769><c> God</c><00:25:39.930><c> is</c><00:25:40.230><c> the</c><00:25:40.430><c> greater</c><00:25:40.630><c> task.</c>

00:25:43.210 --> 00:25:46.650

00:25:52.230 --> 00:25:54.890

00:25:54.890 --> 00:25:56.049
to<00:25:55.049><c> do</c><00:25:55.190><c> that.</c>

00:25:56.089 --> 00:26:00.089
It's<00:25:56.430><c> always</c><00:25:56.650><c> if</c><00:25:57.049><c> the</c><00:25:57.309><c> Lord</c><00:25:57.529><c> will,</c><00:25:58.190><c> we</c><00:25:58.450><c> will</c><00:25:58.650><c> do</c><00:25:58.869><c> this</c><00:25:59.130><c> or</c><00:25:59.410><c> that.</c>

00:26:00.230 --> 00:26:02.869
So<00:26:00.430><c> to</c><00:26:00.750><c> be</c><00:26:00.970><c> presumptive</c><00:26:01.509><c> and</c><00:26:01.750><c> say,</c><00:26:02.089><c> well,</c><00:26:02.130><c> let's</c><00:26:02.390><c> let</c><00:26:02.529><c> me</c><00:26:02.630><c> go</c>

00:26:02.869 --> 00:26:04.329
back<00:26:03.049><c> and</c><00:26:03.289><c> stay</c><00:26:03.410><c> with</c><00:26:03.630><c> my</c><00:26:03.809><c> mom</c><00:26:03.930><c> and</c><00:26:04.109><c> dad</c>

00:26:04.329 --> 00:26:09.390
until<00:26:04.569><c> they're</c><00:26:04.849><c> dead,</c><00:26:06.230><c> that's</c><00:26:06.849><c> not</c><00:26:07.309><c> what</c><00:26:08.009><c> we</c><00:26:08.609><c> find</c><00:26:08.789><c> in</c><00:26:08.970><c> the</c><00:26:09.109><c> scriptures.</c>

00:26:09.450 --> 00:26:12.269
There's<00:26:09.769><c> a</c><00:26:09.970><c> greater</c><00:26:10.190><c> task</c><00:26:10.630><c> that</c><00:26:10.829><c> we</c><00:26:11.029><c> must</c><00:26:11.210><c> be</c><00:26:11.509><c> about.</c>

00:26:12.569 --> 00:26:15.329
Now<00:26:12.849><c> I</c><00:26:12.970><c> just</c><00:26:13.430><c> think</c><00:26:13.630><c> that</c><00:26:13.809><c> there's</c><00:26:14.130><c> a</c><00:26:14.269><c> little</c><00:26:14.430><c> other</c><00:26:14.869><c> side</c><00:26:15.130><c> to</c>

this,<00:26:15.990><c> and</c><00:26:16.009><c> you</c><00:26:16.289><c> see,</c><00:26:17.089><c> if</c><00:26:17.369><c> this</c><00:26:18.289><c> is</c><00:26:18.670><c> what</c>

00:26:18.869 --> 00:26:22.390
the<00:26:19.009><c> Lord</c><00:26:19.250><c> meant,</c><00:26:19.950><c> that</c><00:26:20.250><c> the</c><00:26:20.509><c> dead</c><00:26:20.750><c> really</c><00:26:21.170><c> weren't</c><00:26:21.470><c> dead</c><00:26:21.769><c> people,</c><00:26:22.250><c> but</c>

00:26:24.890 --> 00:26:27.730
They<00:26:24.970><c> were</c><00:26:25.170><c> people</c><00:26:25.470><c> that</c><00:26:25.789><c> weren't</c><00:26:25.990><c> concerned</c><00:26:26.569><c> about</c><00:26:27.170><c> following</c><00:26:27.569><c> the</c>

00:26:28.769 --> 00:26:32.950
You<00:26:28.769><c> can</c><00:26:28.970><c> say,</c><00:26:29.289><c> well,</c><00:26:29.390><c> that's</c><00:26:30.369><c> the</c><00:26:30.569><c> task</c><00:26:30.950><c> of</c><00:26:31.250><c> people</c><00:26:31.609><c> who</c><00:26:32.269><c> don't</c><00:26:32.549><c> see</c>

remarks<00:33:26.170><c> of</c><00:33:26.349><c> that</c><00:33:26.569><c> person</c><00:33:26.890><c> to</c><00:33:27.089><c> the</c><00:33:27.210><c> Lord</c><00:33:27.410><c> and</c>

00:33:27.690 --> 00:33:29.990
what<00:33:27.970><c> actually</c><00:33:28.730><c> happened</c><00:33:29.109><c> here.</c>

00:33:30.329 --> 00:33:34.410
And<00:33:30.750><c> he</c><00:33:30.930><c> said</c><00:33:31.049><c> unto</c><00:33:31.269><c> him,</c><00:33:31.650><c> you</c><00:33:31.849><c> go</c><00:33:32.109><c> back,</c><00:33:32.750><c> for</c><00:33:32.809><c> what</c><00:33:32.990><c> have</c><00:33:33.109><c> I</c><00:33:33.210><c> done</c><00:33:33.390><c> to</c><00:33:33.650><c> thee?</c>

00:33:34.690 --> 00:33:38.390
But<00:33:35.009><c> when</c><00:33:35.250><c> he</c><00:33:35.470><c> came</c><00:33:35.710><c> back,</c><00:33:36.150><c> he</c><00:33:36.329><c> took</c><00:33:36.529><c> a</c><00:33:36.730><c> yoke</c><00:33:36.910><c> of</c><00:33:37.109><c> oxen</c><00:33:37.650><c> and</c><00:33:37.809><c> slew</c><00:33:37.990><c> them</c><00:33:38.150><c> and</c>

00:33:38.390 --> 00:33:39.509
boiled<00:33:38.690><c> their</c><00:33:38.990><c> flesh</c><00:33:39.269><c> with</c>

00:33:39.509 --> 00:33:41.809
the<00:33:39.950><c> instruments</c><00:33:39.950><c> of</c><00:33:40.150><c> the</c><00:33:40.329><c> oxen</c><00:33:40.710><c> and</c><00:33:40.809><c> gave</c><00:33:40.970><c> it</c><00:33:41.130><c> to</c><00:33:41.250><c> the</c><00:33:41.430><c> people</c>

00:33:41.809 --> 00:33:42.869
and<00:33:42.269><c> they</c><00:33:42.450><c> did</c><00:33:42.650><c> eat.</c>

00:33:43.089 --> 00:33:45.589
Then<00:33:43.269><c> he</c><00:33:43.490><c> arose</c><00:33:43.769><c> and</c><00:33:43.930><c> went</c><00:33:44.069><c> after</c><00:33:44.390><c> Elijah</c><00:33:44.869><c> and</c><00:33:45.230><c> ministered</c>

00:33:45.589 --> 00:33:46.589
unto<00:33:45.769><c> him.</c>

00:33:46.829 --> 00:33:50.869
Now<00:33:47.029><c> just</c><00:33:47.170><c> going</c><00:33:47.309><c> back</c><00:33:47.650><c> to</c><00:33:47.809><c> this</c><00:33:49.210><c> back</c><00:33:49.529><c> passage</c><00:33:50.089><c> here</c><00:33:50.390><c> in</c><00:33:50.650><c> Luke</c>

00:33:50.869 --> 00:33:53.089
9<00:33:51.609><c> verse</c><00:33:51.910><c> 62.</c>

00:33:53.250 --> 00:33:59.630
Jesus<00:33:53.430><c> said</c><00:33:53.650><c> unto</c><00:33:53.910><c> him,</c><00:33:54.710><c> no</c><00:33:54.970><c> man</c><00:33:55.329><c> having</c><00:33:55.670><c> put</c><00:33:56.109><c> his</c><00:33:56.670><c> hand</c><00:33:56.910><c> to</c><00:33:57.230><c> the</c><00:33:57.529><c> plow</c><00:33:57.849><c> and</c><00:33:58.170><c> looking</c><00:33:58.470><c> back</c><00:33:59.089><c> is</c>

00:33:59.630 --> 00:33:59.990
fit<00:33:59.789><c> for</c>

00:33:59.990 --> 00:34:00.890
the<00:34:00.109><c> kingdom</c><00:34:00.349><c> of</c><00:34:00.609><c> God.</c>

00:34:01.210 --> 00:34:05.289
So<00:34:01.490><c> Jesus</c><00:34:01.789><c> was</c><00:34:02.049><c> able</c><00:34:02.269><c> to</c><00:34:02.609><c> know</c><00:34:02.809><c> this</c><00:34:03.130><c> about</c><00:34:04.269><c> plowing.</c>

00:34:05.769 --> 00:34:08.389
And<00:34:06.230><c> I</c><00:34:06.690><c> found</c><00:34:06.910><c> that</c><00:34:07.130><c> to</c><00:34:07.269><c> be</c><00:34:07.410><c> a</c><00:34:07.710><c> remarkable</c><00:34:08.110><c> verse.</c>

00:34:08.409 --> 00:34:11.510
When<00:34:08.590><c> I</c><00:34:08.869><c> first</c><00:34:09.269><c> learned</c><00:34:09.550><c> how</c><00:34:09.750><c> to</c><00:34:09.949><c> plow,</c><00:34:10.190><c> my</c><00:34:10.369><c> dad</c><00:34:10.530><c> says,</c><00:34:10.929><c> there's</c><00:34:11.230><c> the</c>

00:34:13.289 --> 00:34:14.050
there's<00:34:13.610><c> the</c><00:34:13.809><c> field.</c>

00:34:14.329 --> 00:34:16.429
That's<00:34:14.789><c> all</c><00:34:14.909><c> the</c><00:34:15.150><c> introduction</c><00:34:15.449><c> we</c><00:34:15.710><c> got.</c>

00:34:16.949 --> 00:34:19.769
Well<00:34:17.150><c> you</c><00:34:17.389><c> sure</c><00:34:17.949><c> learn</c><00:34:18.329><c> quickly</c><00:34:18.730><c> what</c><00:34:18.969><c> happens</c><00:34:19.349><c> if</c><00:34:19.510><c> you</c><00:34:19.650><c> don't</c>

00:34:19.769 --> 00:34:21.110
have<00:34:19.929><c> a</c><00:34:20.090><c> straight</c><00:34:20.250><c> line.</c>

00:34:21.889 --> 00:34:25.730
And<00:34:22.110><c> this</c><00:34:22.269><c> is</c><00:34:22.429><c> an</c><00:34:22.550><c> old</c><00:34:22.969><c> three</c><00:34:23.349><c>-furrow</c><00:34:23.670><c> plow</c><00:34:24.510><c> and</c><00:34:25.070><c> nothing</c><00:34:25.510><c> like</c>

00:34:25.730 --> 00:34:26.530

00:34:26.650 --> 00:34:29.409
I<00:34:26.670><c> don't</c><00:34:26.889><c> know</c><00:34:27.070><c> if</c><00:34:27.170><c> anybody</c><00:34:27.530><c> starts</c><00:34:27.989><c> on</c><00:34:28.269><c> these</c><00:34:28.590><c> huge</c><00:34:29.050><c> pieces</c>

00:34:35.550 --> 00:34:37.750
field<00:34:35.750><c> that</c><00:34:36.030><c> maybe</c><00:34:36.369><c> is</c><00:34:37.090><c> several</c><00:34:37.429><c> hundred</c>

00:34:37.750 --> 00:34:40.769

00:34:40.769 --> 00:34:44.269
there<00:34:41.030><c> what</c><00:34:41.269><c> it</c><00:34:41.489><c> means</c><00:34:41.750><c> to</c><00:34:42.230><c> have</c><00:34:42.570><c> a</c><00:34:43.969><c> field</c>

00:34:44.269 --> 00:34:47.210
that's<00:34:44.809><c> got</c><00:34:45.010><c> plow</c><00:34:45.309><c> lines</c><00:34:45.469><c> in</c><00:34:45.630><c> it</c><00:34:45.769><c> that</c><00:34:45.869><c> are</c><00:34:46.030><c> not</c><00:34:46.369><c> straight.</c>

00:34:47.929 --> 00:34:52.010
You<00:34:48.050><c> see</c><00:34:48.150><c> you</c><00:34:48.250><c> can</c><00:34:48.489><c> always</c><00:34:48.829><c> follow</c><00:34:49.650><c> a</c><00:34:50.690><c> plow</c><00:34:51.050><c> that's</c><00:34:51.769><c> a</c><00:34:51.849><c> line</c>

00:34:52.010 --> 00:34:52.750
that's<00:34:52.289><c> not</c><00:34:52.489><c> straight.</c>

00:34:52.869 --> 00:34:56.969
You<00:34:52.969><c> just</c><00:34:53.170><c> put</c><00:34:53.329><c> your</c><00:34:53.610><c> tire</c><00:34:53.889><c> in</c><00:34:54.829><c> the</c><00:34:55.550><c> little</c><00:34:55.869><c> hollow</c><00:34:56.190><c> that</c><00:34:56.550><c> you've</c><00:34:56.829><c> made</c>

00:34:56.969 --> 00:34:59.030
in<00:34:57.150><c> the</c><00:34:57.309><c> last</c><00:34:57.590><c> furrow</c><00:34:58.090><c> and</c><00:34:58.670><c> that</c>

00:34:59.030 --> 00:35:00.429
guides<00:34:59.309><c> your</c><00:34:59.670><c> tire</c><00:34:59.889><c> through</c><00:35:00.170><c> there.</c>

00:35:00.429 --> 00:35:03.989
But<00:35:00.710><c> there's</c><00:35:01.090><c> a</c><00:35:01.349><c> time</c><00:35:01.610><c> when</c><00:35:02.130><c> you've</c><00:35:02.949><c> got</c><00:35:03.010><c> to</c><00:35:03.190><c> finish</c><00:35:03.409><c> the</c><00:35:03.710><c> field.</c>

00:35:04.130 --> 00:35:07.969
So<00:35:04.369><c> you've</c><00:35:04.670><c> been</c><00:35:05.349><c> plowing</c><00:35:05.750><c> here</c><00:35:06.150><c> and</c><00:35:06.929><c> you</c><00:35:07.090><c> don't</c><00:35:07.230><c> want</c><00:35:07.369><c> to</c><00:35:07.510><c> keep</c><00:35:07.650><c> on</c>

00:35:07.969 --> 00:35:08.869
driving<00:35:08.130><c> all</c><00:35:08.469><c> the</c><00:35:08.530><c> way</c><00:35:08.650><c> around</c>

00:35:08.869 --> 00:35:09.550
the<00:35:09.070><c> other</c><00:35:09.329><c> side.</c>

00:35:09.570 --> 00:35:12.250
So<00:35:09.809><c> you</c><00:35:10.269><c> generally</c><00:35:10.510><c> go</c><00:35:10.690><c> up</c><00:35:10.809><c> the</c><00:35:11.050><c> field</c><00:35:11.210><c> and</c><00:35:11.369><c> you</c><00:35:11.550><c> start</c><00:35:11.750><c> anew,</c>

00:35:12.650 --> 00:35:15.329
you<00:35:12.889><c> strike</c><00:35:13.150><c> anew</c><00:35:13.530><c> on</c><00:35:13.769><c> another</c><00:35:14.030><c> little</c><00:35:14.469><c> line.</c>

00:35:15.809 --> 00:35:19.329
And<00:35:16.030><c> when</c><00:35:16.170><c> they</c><00:35:16.409><c> come</c><00:35:16.630><c> together,</c><00:35:17.269><c> if</c><00:35:17.610><c> you</c><00:35:17.969><c> plow</c><00:35:18.170><c> it</c><00:35:18.429><c> straight,</c>

00:35:19.530 --> 00:35:21.690
it's<00:35:19.829><c> wonderful</c><00:35:20.289><c> because</c><00:35:21.070><c> you</c><00:35:21.250><c> can</c><00:35:21.489><c> make</c>

00:35:21.690 --> 00:35:24.570
the<00:35:21.969><c> last</c><00:35:22.210><c> run</c><00:35:22.329><c> up</c><00:35:22.530><c> the</c><00:35:22.730><c> field,</c><00:35:23.010><c> you</c><00:35:23.110><c> can</c><00:35:23.389><c> plow</c><00:35:23.590><c> it,</c><00:35:24.090><c> you</c><00:35:24.329><c> don't</c>

00:35:24.570 --> 00:35:26.150
make<00:35:24.809><c> any</c><00:35:25.070><c> big</c><00:35:25.269><c> ruts</c><00:35:25.469><c> or</c><00:35:25.690><c> anything</c><00:35:25.949><c> and</c>

00:35:26.150 --> 00:35:27.530
it<00:35:26.829><c> looks</c><00:35:27.090><c> good.</c>

00:35:27.530 --> 00:35:31.929
But<00:35:28.010><c> it's</c><00:35:28.170><c> not</c><00:35:28.289><c> just</c><00:35:28.530><c> looks,</c><00:35:29.130><c> it's</c><00:35:29.289><c> you</c><00:35:29.389><c> don't</c><00:35:29.670><c> create</c><00:35:29.969><c> any</c><00:35:30.690><c> big</c><00:35:30.989><c> hills</c><00:35:31.409><c> by</c>

00:35:31.929 --> 00:35:33.190
plowing<00:35:32.250><c> on</c><00:35:32.550><c> top</c><00:35:32.750><c> of</c><00:35:32.929><c> something</c>

00:35:33.190 --> 00:35:36.710
that's<00:35:33.530><c> plowed</c><00:35:33.829><c> and</c><00:35:34.289><c> you</c><00:35:34.489><c> don't</c><00:35:34.750><c> dig</c><00:35:35.010><c> any</c><00:35:35.389><c> real</c><00:35:35.650><c> trenches</c><00:35:36.090><c> by</c>

00:35:36.710 --> 00:35:38.889
plowing<00:35:37.170><c> at</c><00:35:37.670><c> the</c><00:35:37.909><c> bottom</c><00:35:38.190><c> where</c><00:35:38.409><c> something's</c>

00:35:38.889 --> 00:35:41.570
already<00:35:39.210><c> been</c><00:35:39.550><c> plowed</c><00:35:40.150><c> because</c><00:35:40.469><c> that</c><00:35:40.630><c> would</c><00:35:40.809><c> bring</c><00:35:40.969><c> up</c><00:35:41.289><c> clay,</c>

00:35:41.909 --> 00:35:43.329
it<00:35:42.030><c> would</c><00:35:42.210><c> put</c><00:35:42.409><c> a</c><00:35:42.590><c> hole</c><00:35:42.690><c> in</c><00:35:42.869><c> the</c><00:35:43.050><c> field,</c>

00:35:43.750 --> 00:35:48.150
it<00:35:44.090><c> removes</c><00:35:44.469><c> a</c><00:35:44.590><c> lot</c><00:35:44.750><c> of</c><00:35:44.969><c> soil</c><00:35:45.190><c> that's</c><00:35:45.489><c> not</c><00:35:45.730><c> easy</c><00:35:46.030><c> to</c><00:35:46.329><c> level</c><00:35:46.610><c> and</c>

00:35:48.150 --> 00:35:50.710
those<00:35:48.650><c> kinds</c><00:35:48.909><c> of</c><00:35:49.070><c> things</c><00:35:49.449><c> can</c><00:35:50.250><c> sit</c><00:35:50.469><c> in</c>

00:35:50.710 --> 00:35:54.190
a<00:35:50.789><c> field</c><00:35:50.989><c> for</c><00:35:51.389><c> years</c><00:35:51.909><c> if</c><00:35:52.449><c> you've</c><00:35:52.670><c> made</c><00:35:52.829><c> a</c><00:35:52.949><c> mess</c><00:35:53.110><c> of</c><00:35:53.329><c> plowing.</c>

00:35:54.650 --> 00:35:58.469
So<00:35:55.090><c> the</c><00:35:55.289><c> idea</c><00:35:55.630><c> was</c><00:35:56.090><c> to</c><00:35:56.349><c> make</c><00:35:56.489><c> it</c><00:35:56.789><c> exactly</c><00:35:57.150><c> straight</c><00:35:57.530><c> and</c><00:35:57.909><c> I</c><00:35:58.130><c> found</c><00:35:58.289><c> the</c>

00:35:58.469 --> 00:35:59.829
only<00:35:58.650><c> way</c><00:35:58.809><c> I</c><00:35:58.909><c> could</c><00:35:59.090><c> do</c><00:35:59.289><c> that</c><00:35:59.570><c> was</c>

00:35:59.829 --> 00:36:02.949
line<00:36:00.090><c> up</c><00:36:00.269><c> the</c><00:36:00.530><c> muffler</c><00:36:00.849><c> of</c><00:36:01.010><c> the</c><00:36:01.250><c> tractor</c><00:36:01.570><c> with</c><00:36:02.150><c> some</c><00:36:02.510><c> tree</c><00:36:02.769><c> in</c>

00:36:02.949 --> 00:36:05.010
the<00:36:03.150><c> horizon</c><00:36:03.469><c> and</c><00:36:03.949><c> just</c><00:36:04.170><c> hold</c><00:36:04.369><c> on</c><00:36:04.610><c> and</c><00:36:04.750><c> just</c>

00:36:05.010 --> 00:36:07.429
hope<00:36:05.190><c> that</c><00:36:05.389><c> I</c><00:36:05.489><c> could,</c><00:36:05.869><c> with</c><00:36:06.050><c> my</c><00:36:06.349><c> ears,</c><00:36:06.750><c> make</c><00:36:06.949><c> sure</c><00:36:07.190><c> everything</c>

00:36:07.429 --> 00:36:08.489
was<00:36:07.670><c> working</c><00:36:07.889><c> at</c><00:36:08.070><c> the</c><00:36:08.210><c> back.</c>

00:36:08.969 --> 00:36:12.170
Never<00:36:09.250><c> look,</c><00:36:09.809><c> just</c><00:36:10.130><c> listen</c><00:36:10.489><c> and</c><00:36:11.530><c> drive</c><00:36:11.909><c> on.</c>

00:36:12.230 --> 00:36:14.489
And<00:36:12.329><c> when</c><00:36:12.449><c> you</c><00:36:12.530><c> get</c><00:36:12.670><c> back,</c><00:36:13.050><c> make</c><00:36:13.090><c> sure</c><00:36:13.269><c> the</c><00:36:13.530><c> plow's,</c><00:36:14.050><c> when</c><00:36:14.210><c> you're</c><00:36:14.389><c> at</c>

00:36:14.489 --> 00:36:15.190
the<00:36:14.510><c> end</c><00:36:14.670><c> of</c><00:36:14.750><c> the</c><00:36:14.789><c> line,</c><00:36:14.869><c> make</c><00:36:15.050><c> sure</c>

00:36:15.190 --> 00:36:17.510
the<00:36:15.409><c> plow's</c><00:36:15.670><c> still</c><00:36:15.869><c> there,</c><00:36:16.070><c> you</c><00:36:16.090><c> didn't</c><00:36:16.269><c> lose</c><00:36:16.489><c> it</c><00:36:16.710><c> somewhere,</c>

00:36:17.650 --> 00:36:19.309
that<00:36:17.869><c> happened</c><00:36:18.130><c> now</c><00:36:18.389><c> and</c><00:36:18.530><c> then,</c><00:36:19.090><c> you're</c>

00:36:19.309 --> 00:36:21.130
actually<00:36:19.570><c> going</c><00:36:19.789><c> along</c><00:36:19.949><c> with</c><00:36:20.110><c> the</c><00:36:20.289><c> tractor</c><00:36:20.510><c> but</c><00:36:20.690><c> the</c><00:36:20.869><c> plow's</c>

00:36:21.130 --> 00:36:22.250
back<00:36:21.349><c> there.</c>

00:36:23.969 --> 00:36:26.389
Those<00:36:24.489><c> were</c><00:36:25.010><c> valuable</c><00:36:25.789><c> days.</c>

00:36:26.809 --> 00:36:31.130
A<00:36:26.969><c> little</c><00:36:27.130><c> tractor,</c><00:36:28.150><c> a</c><00:36:28.210><c> little</c><00:36:28.489><c> plow</c><00:36:29.050><c> and</c><00:36:29.929><c> those</c><00:36:30.190><c> verses,</c>

00:36:31.210 --> 00:36:32.230
don't<00:36:31.670><c> look</c><00:36:31.929><c> back.</c>

00:36:32.409 --> 00:36:34.690
If<00:36:32.610><c> you</c><00:36:32.829><c> look</c><00:36:33.050><c> back</c><00:36:33.329><c> to</c><00:36:33.570><c> see</c><00:36:33.670><c> if</c><00:36:33.769><c> you're</c><00:36:34.010><c> straight,</c><00:36:34.469><c> you</c><00:36:34.590><c> know</c>

00:36:34.690 --> 00:36:36.349
where<00:36:34.829><c> your</c><00:36:35.070><c> front</c><00:36:35.190><c> wheels</c><00:36:35.409><c> are</c><00:36:35.610><c> going.</c>

00:36:36.949 --> 00:36:42.630
So<00:36:37.250><c> it</c><00:36:37.730><c> was</c><00:36:38.309><c> a</c><00:36:38.730><c> wonderful</c><00:36:39.210><c> lesson</c><00:36:39.610><c> but</c><00:36:41.309><c> what</c><00:36:42.010><c> did</c><00:36:42.190><c> he</c><00:36:42.389><c> really</c>

00:36:42.630 --> 00:36:44.050
mean<00:36:42.809><c> by</c><00:36:43.090><c> this?</c>

00:36:44.530 --> 00:36:46.889
Well<00:36:44.769><c> the</c><00:36:44.949><c> matter</c><00:36:45.150><c> was</c><00:36:45.469><c> settled</c><00:36:45.710><c> in</c><00:36:45.969><c> the</c><00:36:46.110><c> favor</c><00:36:46.349><c> of</c><00:36:46.610><c> the</c><00:36:46.730><c> work</c>

00:36:46.889 --> 00:36:49.489
of<00:36:47.130><c> Yahweh,</c><00:36:48.489><c> his</c><00:36:48.670><c> future</c><00:36:48.969><c> was</c><00:36:49.269><c> filled</c>

00:36:49.489 --> 00:36:53.010
with<00:36:49.650><c> a</c><00:36:49.789><c> very</c><00:36:50.110><c> different</c><00:36:50.449><c> lifestyle</c><00:36:50.949><c> and</c><00:36:51.610><c> what</c><00:36:51.829><c> he</c><00:36:52.090><c> did</c><00:36:52.369><c> was</c>

00:36:53.010 --> 00:36:57.010
he<00:36:53.789><c> burned</c><00:36:54.409><c> the</c><00:36:55.949><c> instruments.</c>

00:36:57.829 --> 00:37:01.789
He<00:36:58.409><c> took</c><00:36:58.650><c> the</c><00:36:58.989><c> tractor</c><00:36:59.250><c> which</c><00:36:59.530><c> was</c><00:36:59.809><c> the</c><00:37:00.030><c> oxen</c><00:37:00.449><c> and</c><00:37:00.889><c> he</c><00:37:01.289><c> slew</c><00:37:01.530><c> it</c>

00:37:01.789 --> 00:37:05.150
so<00:37:02.010><c> there</c><00:37:02.389><c> was</c><00:37:02.730><c> no</c><00:37:03.090><c> going</c><00:37:03.409><c> back</c><00:37:03.929><c> and</c>

00:37:05.150 --> 00:37:09.489
if<00:37:05.429><c> this</c><00:37:05.690><c> man</c><00:37:05.809><c> had</c><00:37:05.969><c> been</c><00:37:06.210><c> thinking</c><00:37:06.409><c> about</c><00:37:06.690><c> the</c><00:37:06.869><c> possibility</c><00:37:07.309><c> of</c><00:37:07.429><c> going</c><00:37:07.690><c> back</c><00:37:08.150><c> and</c><00:37:08.429><c> enjoying</c><00:37:08.650><c> himself</c><00:37:09.150><c> for</c><00:37:09.369><c> a</c><00:37:09.409><c> while</c>

00:37:09.489 --> 00:37:13.369
and<00:37:09.789><c> not</c><00:37:10.010><c> advancing</c><00:37:10.989><c> to</c><00:37:11.349><c> the</c><00:37:11.550><c> call</c><00:37:11.789><c> of</c><00:37:11.949><c> Jesus</c><00:37:12.289><c> to</c><00:37:12.610><c> follow</c><00:37:12.829><c> him,</c>

00:37:13.750 --> 00:37:15.650
then<00:37:13.989><c> Jesus</c><00:37:14.510><c> certainly</c><00:37:15.230><c> answered</c>

00:37:15.650 --> 00:37:20.769
it<00:37:15.750><c> very</c><00:37:16.150><c> well</c><00:37:16.329><c> when</c><00:37:16.590><c> he</c><00:37:17.170><c> said,</c><00:37:18.150><c> no</c><00:37:18.150><c> man</c><00:37:19.130><c> having</c><00:37:19.869><c> put</c><00:37:20.309><c> his</c><00:37:20.590><c> hand</c>

00:37:20.769 --> 00:37:22.289
to<00:37:20.969><c> the</c><00:37:21.230><c> plow</c><00:37:21.510><c> and</c><00:37:21.750><c> looking</c><00:37:21.989><c> back</c>

00:37:22.289 --> 00:37:24.849
is<00:37:22.789><c> fit</c><00:37:23.110><c> for</c><00:37:23.349><c> the</c><00:37:23.489><c> kingdom</c><00:37:23.730><c> of</c><00:37:23.909><c> God.</c>

00:37:25.150 --> 00:37:27.170
Don't<00:37:25.670><c> look</c><00:37:26.070><c> back.</c>

00:37:28.809 --> 00:37:31.789
I<00:37:28.929><c> mean</c><00:37:29.070><c> even</c><00:37:29.309><c> you</c><00:37:29.469><c> can</c><00:37:29.670><c> think</c><00:37:29.869><c> of</c><00:37:30.070><c> that,</c><00:37:31.030><c> of</c><00:37:31.170><c> someone</c><00:37:31.510><c> who</c>

00:37:31.789 --> 00:37:33.030
looked<00:37:31.949><c> back.</c>

00:37:33.949 --> 00:37:35.610
Remember<00:37:34.170><c> when</c><00:37:34.329><c> the</c><00:37:34.469><c> Bible</c><00:37:34.650><c> made</c><00:37:34.809><c> a</c><00:37:34.989><c> point</c><00:37:35.090><c> of</c><00:37:35.269><c> that?</c>

00:37:35.929 --> 00:37:41.590
Someone<00:37:36.409><c> looked</c><00:37:36.989><c> back</c><00:37:37.610><c> and</c><00:37:38.650><c> we'll</c><00:37:38.849><c> deal</c><00:37:39.010><c> with</c><00:37:39.190><c> that</c><00:37:39.949><c> in</c><00:37:40.510><c> a</c><00:37:40.690><c> slide</c><00:37:40.909><c> that's</c><00:37:41.170><c> coming</c><00:37:41.349><c> up.</c>

00:37:41.590 --> 00:37:47.510

00:37:47.510 --> 00:37:49.289
information<00:37:48.130><c> about</c><00:37:48.590><c> what</c><00:37:48.789><c> we</c><00:37:48.989><c> should</c><00:37:49.150><c> do.</c>

00:37:49.349 --> 00:37:51.730
I'll<00:37:49.510><c> just</c><00:37:50.090><c> get</c><00:37:50.409><c> on</c><00:37:50.570><c> to</c><00:37:50.650><c> our</c><00:37:50.769><c> next</c><00:37:50.989><c> slide.</c>

So<00:37:52.010><c> follow</c><00:37:52.190><c> me.</c>

00:37:52.630 --> 00:37:54.210
Here's<00:37:52.949><c> all</c><00:37:53.170><c> the</c><00:37:53.349><c> sheep.</c>

00:37:55.170 --> 00:37:56.570
Where's<00:37:55.570><c> the</c><00:37:55.750><c> shepherd?</c>

00:38:01.949 --> 00:38:04.789
Some<00:38:02.210><c> of</c><00:38:02.329><c> you</c><00:38:02.449><c> brethren</c><00:38:02.690><c> when</c><00:38:02.909><c> you</c><00:38:03.110><c> give</c><00:38:03.250><c> an</c><00:38:03.429><c> exhortation</c><00:38:03.969><c> sometimes</c><00:38:04.550><c> or</c>

00:38:14.110 --> 00:38:16.110
They're<00:38:14.329><c> looking</c><00:38:14.510><c> for</c><00:38:14.730><c> some</c><00:38:14.929><c> leadership</c><00:38:15.309><c> on</c><00:38:15.530><c> the</c><00:38:15.710><c> scriptures</c>

00:38:16.110 --> 00:38:18.949
and<00:38:17.329><c> to</c><00:38:17.489><c> be</c><00:38:17.670><c> a</c><00:38:17.869><c> shepherd</c><00:38:18.110><c> in</c><00:38:18.349><c> that</c><00:38:18.590><c> case</c>

00:38:18.949 --> 00:38:23.670
would<00:38:19.150><c> be</c><00:38:19.409><c> to</c><00:38:19.710><c> rightly</c><00:38:19.989><c> divide</c><00:38:20.429><c> God's</c><00:38:20.949><c> word</c><00:38:21.250><c> and</c><00:38:21.889><c> to</c><00:38:22.250><c> feed</c><00:38:22.590><c> the</c><00:38:22.949><c> flock.</c>

00:38:24.269 --> 00:38:26.969
I<00:38:24.449><c> think</c><00:38:24.590><c> it</c><00:38:24.710><c> would</c><00:38:24.849><c> be</c><00:38:25.010><c> really</c><00:38:25.250><c> wonderful</c><00:38:25.690><c> to</c><00:38:26.170><c> relate</c><00:38:26.530><c> to</c><00:38:26.809><c> a</c>

00:38:26.969 --> 00:38:29.670
flock<00:38:27.110><c> of</c><00:38:27.389><c> sheep</c><00:38:27.670><c> so</c><00:38:28.090><c> that</c><00:38:28.570><c> you</c><00:38:28.849><c> really</c><00:38:29.349><c> get</c>

00:38:29.670 --> 00:38:32.829
the<00:38:29.909><c> idea</c><00:38:30.269><c> first</c><00:38:30.650><c> of</c><00:38:30.809><c> all</c><00:38:30.929><c> in</c><00:38:31.070><c> your</c><00:38:31.250><c> mind</c><00:38:31.530><c> from</c><00:38:31.750><c> the</c><00:38:31.989><c> literal.</c>

00:38:34.710 --> 00:38:36.590
Well<00:38:35.090><c> you</c><00:38:35.469><c> see</c><00:38:35.590><c> here</c><00:38:35.789><c> we</c><00:38:36.030><c> are.</c>

00:38:36.829 --> 00:38:38.750
Now<00:38:37.070><c> this</c><00:38:37.269><c> is</c><00:38:37.489><c> where</c><00:38:37.690><c> following</c><00:38:38.070><c> leads</c><00:38:38.429><c> us.</c>

00:38:38.750 --> 00:38:43.969
It<00:38:39.050><c> doesn't</c><00:38:39.570><c> probably</c><00:38:40.150><c> get</c><00:38:40.489><c> any</c><00:38:40.929><c> tougher</c><00:38:41.309><c> than</c><00:38:41.690><c> this</c><00:38:42.349><c> because</c>

00:38:43.969 --> 00:38:45.530
how<00:38:44.230><c> could</c><00:38:44.449><c> it</c><00:38:44.610><c> be?</c>

00:38:46.869 --> 00:38:52.110
In<00:38:46.909><c> Matthew</c><00:38:47.269><c> 16</c><00:38:47.789><c> verse</c><00:38:48.170><c> 24</c><00:38:48.949><c>-25</c><00:38:49.849><c> Jesus</c><00:38:50.269><c> said</c><00:38:50.510><c> unto</c><00:38:50.750><c> his</c><00:38:51.010><c> disciples,</c>

00:38:52.590 --> 00:38:56.889
If<00:38:52.590><c> any</c><00:38:53.130><c> man</c><00:38:53.610><c> will</c><00:38:54.070><c> come</c><00:38:54.309><c> after</c><00:38:54.670><c> me,</c><00:38:55.409><c> let</c><00:38:55.530><c> him</c><00:38:55.750><c> deny</c><00:38:56.250><c> himself,</c>

00:38:57.369 --> 00:39:00.230
take<00:38:57.590><c> up</c><00:38:57.809><c> his</c><00:38:58.130><c> cross</c><00:38:58.489><c> and</c><00:38:58.809><c> follow</c><00:38:59.150><c> me.</c>

00:39:00.429 --> 00:39:02.889
Whosoever<00:39:00.889><c> will</c><00:39:01.210><c> save</c><00:39:01.489><c> his</c><00:39:01.789><c> life</c><00:39:02.110><c> will</c><00:39:02.349><c> lose</c><00:39:02.610><c> it.</c>

00:39:03.110 --> 00:39:06.130
Whosoever<00:39:03.570><c> will</c><00:39:03.829><c> lose</c><00:39:04.070><c> his</c><00:39:04.349><c> life</c><00:39:04.530><c> for</c><00:39:04.769><c> my</c><00:39:05.050><c> sake</c><00:39:05.230><c> shall</c><00:39:05.489><c> find</c><00:39:05.809><c> it.</c>

00:39:06.130 --> 00:39:12.670
Now<00:39:06.670><c> Jesus</c><00:39:07.050><c> did</c><00:39:07.469><c> not</c><00:39:08.110><c> hide</c><00:39:08.710><c> what</c><00:39:09.329><c> he</c><00:39:09.449><c> was</c><00:39:09.690><c> saying</c><00:39:10.090><c> by</c><00:39:11.510><c> you</c><00:39:12.510><c> know</c>

00:39:12.670 --> 00:39:14.269
I<00:39:12.690><c> won't</c><00:39:12.929><c> tell</c><00:39:13.150><c> him</c><00:39:13.329><c> everything</c><00:39:13.630><c> because</c>

00:39:14.269 --> 00:39:17.849
if<00:39:14.710><c> I</c><00:39:14.949><c> did</c><00:39:15.269><c> I</c><00:39:16.250><c> won't</c><00:39:16.469><c> have</c><00:39:16.650><c> any</c><00:39:16.889><c> followers.</c>

00:39:18.250 --> 00:39:20.050
Now<00:39:18.429><c> he's</c><00:39:18.630><c> very</c><00:39:19.110><c> clear.</c>

00:39:20.570 --> 00:39:24.309
You've<00:39:20.909><c> got</c><00:39:20.949><c> to</c><00:39:21.150><c> take</c><00:39:21.329><c> up</c><00:39:21.510><c> your</c><00:39:21.829><c> cross</c><00:39:22.349><c> and</c><00:39:23.070><c> follow</c><00:39:23.309><c> me.</c>

00:39:25.489 --> 00:39:30.630
Now<00:39:25.789><c> that</c><00:39:26.110><c> word</c><00:39:26.409><c> cross</c><00:39:27.030><c> is</c><00:39:27.389><c> something</c><00:39:27.710><c> that</c><00:39:28.289><c> the</c><00:39:28.349><c> Christadelphians</c><00:39:28.909><c> don't</c><00:39:30.130><c> talk</c>

00:39:30.630 --> 00:39:31.369
about<00:39:30.869><c> very</c><00:39:31.170><c> much.</c>

00:39:31.369 --> 00:39:34.190
We<00:39:31.530><c> don't</c><00:39:31.869><c> have</c><00:39:32.170><c> crosses</c><00:39:32.550><c> on</c><00:39:32.829><c> our</c><00:39:33.309><c> ecclesial</c><00:39:33.769><c> halls.</c>

00:39:34.309 --> 00:39:36.090
We<00:39:34.449><c> don't</c><00:39:34.670><c> have</c><00:39:34.909><c> crosses</c><00:39:35.250><c> on</c><00:39:35.489><c> our</c><00:39:35.710><c> shirts.</c>

00:39:36.590 --> 00:39:39.929
You<00:39:36.690><c> don't</c><00:39:36.889><c> see</c><00:39:37.130><c> any</c><00:39:37.369><c> of</c><00:39:37.489><c> our</c><00:39:37.650><c> shirts</c><00:39:37.849><c> that</c><00:39:38.070><c> we</c><00:39:38.269><c> have</c><00:39:38.510><c> that</c><00:39:38.869><c> have</c><00:39:39.210><c> crosses</c><00:39:39.650><c> on</c><00:39:39.849><c> them.</c>

00:39:39.949 --> 00:39:43.730
So<00:39:40.130><c> we</c><00:39:40.670><c> we</c><00:39:40.809><c> don't</c><00:39:40.989><c> identify</c><00:39:41.469><c> with</c><00:39:41.690><c> that</c><00:39:42.010><c> word</c><00:39:42.329><c> because</c><00:39:43.349><c> of</c><00:39:43.570><c> the</c>

00:39:43.730 --> 00:39:45.769
way<00:39:43.869><c> that's</c><00:39:44.250><c> being</c><00:39:44.489><c> messed</c><00:39:44.829><c> up</c><00:39:45.050><c> by</c><00:39:45.329><c> other</c>

00:39:45.769 --> 00:39:47.289
Christian<00:39:46.190><c> groups.</c>

00:39:47.690 --> 00:39:56.030
But<00:39:47.889><c> what</c><00:39:48.070><c> it</c><00:39:48.289><c> means</c><00:39:48.789><c> is</c><00:39:51.250><c> the</c><00:39:51.630><c> stake</c><00:39:52.210><c> on</c><00:39:53.130><c> which</c><00:39:53.550><c> you</c><00:39:54.070><c> were</c><00:39:54.289><c> crucified</c><00:39:54.929><c> and</c>

00:39:56.030 --> 00:39:58.309
when<00:39:56.190><c> a</c><00:39:56.409><c> man</c><00:39:56.610><c> took</c><00:39:57.070><c> that</c><00:39:57.889><c> stake</c>

00:39:58.309 --> 00:40:01.369
if<00:39:58.909><c> he</c><00:39:59.090><c> could</c><00:39:59.309><c> bear</c><00:39:59.550><c> it,</c><00:39:59.750><c> if</c><00:39:59.889><c> he</c><00:39:59.969><c> was</c><00:40:00.190><c> strong</c><00:40:00.389><c> enough</c><00:40:00.750><c> to</c><00:40:01.110><c> carry</c>

00:40:01.369 --> 00:40:04.429
that,<00:40:02.269><c> he</c><00:40:02.590><c> did</c><00:40:02.869><c> that</c><00:40:03.449><c> to</c><00:40:03.630><c> the</c><00:40:03.909><c> point</c><00:40:04.190><c> where</c>

00:40:04.429 --> 00:40:07.130
it<00:40:04.550><c> would</c><00:40:04.769><c> be</c><00:40:04.969><c> put</c><00:40:05.130><c> in</c><00:40:05.289><c> the</c><00:40:05.489><c> ground</c><00:40:05.730><c> and</c><00:40:05.949><c> he's</c><00:40:06.289><c> crucified</c><00:40:06.769><c> on</c><00:40:06.989><c> it.</c>

00:40:07.230 --> 00:40:12.809
What<00:40:07.670><c> freedom</c><00:40:08.449><c> has</c><00:40:09.369><c> a</c><00:40:09.650><c> person</c><00:40:10.010><c> got</c><00:40:10.429><c> when</c><00:40:10.650><c> he's</c><00:40:11.070><c> carrying</c><00:40:11.369><c> his</c><00:40:11.789><c> cross?</c>

00:40:14.050 --> 00:40:16.489
He's<00:40:14.389><c> got</c><00:40:14.530><c> absolutely</c><00:40:15.050><c> no</c><00:40:15.469><c> freedom.</c>

00:40:19.889 --> 00:40:24.269
That's<00:40:20.449><c> why</c><00:40:20.550><c> he</c><00:40:20.750><c> said</c><00:40:20.909><c> let</c><00:40:21.269><c> him</c><00:40:21.590><c> deny</c><00:40:22.090><c> himself,</c><00:40:23.530><c> take</c><00:40:23.730><c> up</c><00:40:23.929><c> his</c>

be,<00:42:45.389><c> their</c><00:42:45.570><c> conscience</c><00:42:46.030><c> develops</c><00:42:46.570><c> faster</c>

00:42:47.090 --> 00:42:50.429
and<00:42:47.309><c> it's</c><00:42:47.670><c> stronger</c><00:42:47.989><c> and</c><00:42:48.309><c> it's</c><00:42:48.670><c> more</c><00:42:48.969><c> useful</c><00:42:49.369><c> to</c><00:42:49.550><c> them.</c>

00:42:51.050 --> 00:42:54.190
They're<00:42:51.369><c> not</c><00:42:51.630><c> exactly</c><00:42:52.510><c> pleasant</c><00:42:53.050><c> company</c><00:42:53.449><c> for</c><00:42:53.670><c> other</c><00:42:53.889><c> people</c>

00:42:54.190 --> 00:42:55.570
because<00:42:54.510><c> they</c><00:42:54.750><c> are</c><00:42:54.889><c> the</c><00:42:55.050><c> conscience</c><00:42:55.389><c> of</c>

00:42:55.570 --> 00:42:55.949
the<00:42:55.730><c> group.</c>

00:42:56.429 --> 00:42:58.309
We<00:42:56.650><c> shouldn't</c><00:42:56.929><c> be</c><00:42:57.170><c> doing</c><00:42:57.349><c> this.</c>

00:42:58.769 --> 00:43:01.650
And<00:42:58.929><c> people</c><00:42:59.289><c> start</c><00:42:59.530><c> to</c><00:42:59.630><c> say,</c><00:42:59.730><c> oh</c><00:42:59.869><c> boy,</c><00:43:00.469><c> you</c><00:43:00.489><c> know,</c><00:43:01.170><c> here's</c><00:43:01.409><c> our</c>

00:43:01.650 --> 00:43:03.329

00:43:04.130 --> 00:43:06.429
Well,<00:43:04.329><c> I'll</c><00:43:04.449><c> tell</c><00:43:04.530><c> you,</c><00:43:04.650><c> it's</c><00:43:04.829><c> very</c><00:43:05.250><c> good</c><00:43:05.489><c> to</c><00:43:05.750><c> have</c><00:43:05.969><c> somebody</c>

00:43:06.429 --> 00:43:07.929
that's<00:43:06.690><c> like</c><00:43:06.929><c> that,</c><00:43:07.210><c> goes</c><00:43:07.449><c> with</c><00:43:07.650><c> a</c><00:43:07.789><c> group</c>

00:43:07.929 --> 00:43:10.570
of<00:43:08.090><c> people</c><00:43:08.369><c> and</c><00:43:08.550><c> says,</c><00:43:08.829><c> no,</c><00:43:08.929><c> we</c><00:43:09.030><c> shouldn't</c><00:43:09.210><c> be</c><00:43:09.429><c> doing</c><00:43:09.590><c> that.</c>

00:43:10.769 --> 00:43:12.690
We<00:43:11.110><c> shouldn't</c><00:43:11.329><c> be</c><00:43:11.570><c> listening</c><00:43:11.750><c> to</c><00:43:11.949><c> that</c><00:43:12.110><c> kind</c><00:43:12.309><c> of</c><00:43:12.449><c> music.</c>

00:43:12.829 --> 00:43:15.469
We<00:43:13.030><c> shouldn't</c><00:43:13.269><c> be</c><00:43:13.610><c> watching</c><00:43:13.909><c> that</c><00:43:14.269><c> kind</c><00:43:14.489><c> of</c><00:43:14.730><c> stuff.</c>

00:43:15.789 --> 00:43:18.630
We<00:43:16.050><c> shouldn't</c><00:43:16.269><c> be</c><00:43:16.590><c> thinking</c><00:43:16.809><c> and</c><00:43:17.070><c> talking</c><00:43:17.369><c> about</c><00:43:17.650><c> this.</c>

00:43:19.190 --> 00:43:23.289
That's<00:43:19.550><c> because</c><00:43:19.829><c> someone</c><00:43:20.230><c> has</c><00:43:21.110><c> taken</c><00:43:21.650><c> what's</c><00:43:22.130><c> going</c><00:43:22.349><c> on</c><00:43:22.849><c> and</c>

00:43:23.289 --> 00:43:25.130
thought<00:43:23.590><c> against</c><00:43:23.949><c> what</c><00:43:24.210><c> God</c><00:43:24.469><c> has</c><00:43:24.769><c> said</c><00:43:24.909><c> and</c>

00:43:25.130 --> 00:43:26.869
said<00:43:25.230><c> this</c><00:43:25.489><c> doesn't</c><00:43:25.849><c> match.</c>

00:43:27.769 --> 00:43:30.269
Well,<00:43:28.010><c> if</c><00:43:28.170><c> you</c><00:43:28.190><c> go</c><00:43:28.369><c> on,</c><00:43:28.730><c> it</c><00:43:28.769><c> says,</c><00:43:29.070><c> whosoever</c><00:43:29.510><c> will</c><00:43:29.809><c> save</c><00:43:29.989><c> his</c>

00:43:30.269 --> 00:43:32.550
life<00:43:30.449><c> will</c><00:43:30.670><c> lose</c><00:43:30.869><c> it</c><00:43:31.429><c> and</c><00:43:31.849><c> whosoever</c><00:43:32.349><c> will</c>

00:43:32.550 --> 00:43:34.409
lose<00:43:32.730><c> his</c><00:43:32.969><c> life</c><00:43:33.090><c> for</c><00:43:33.309><c> my</c><00:43:33.469><c> sake</c><00:43:33.690><c> shall</c><00:43:33.909><c> find</c><00:43:34.210><c> it.</c>

00:43:34.409 --> 00:43:37.289
You<00:43:34.710><c> can</c><00:43:34.989><c> see</c><00:43:35.130><c> the</c><00:43:35.349><c> rewards</c><00:43:35.809><c> of</c><00:43:36.070><c> doing</c><00:43:36.269><c> that.</c>

00:43:38.250 --> 00:43:39.650
So<00:43:38.489><c> just</c><00:43:38.710><c> a</c><00:43:38.809><c> little</c><00:43:38.949><c> review</c><00:43:39.269><c> of</c><00:43:39.510><c> that.</c>

00:43:39.670 --> 00:43:43.570
There<00:43:39.849><c> is</c><00:43:40.110><c> no</c><00:43:40.489><c> freedom</c><00:43:40.849><c> for</c><00:43:41.150><c> a</c><00:43:41.309><c> person</c><00:43:41.610><c> taking</c><00:43:41.949><c> up</c><00:43:42.250><c> his</c><00:43:42.570><c> cross.</c>

00:43:45.489 --> 00:43:48.809
When<00:43:45.650><c> we're</c><00:43:46.329><c> asking</c><00:43:46.710><c> ourselves,</c><00:43:47.530><c> are</c><00:43:47.590><c> we</c><00:43:47.829><c> really</c><00:43:48.230><c> taking</c><00:43:48.530><c> up</c>

00:43:48.809 --> 00:43:49.550
our<00:43:49.150><c> cross?</c>

00:43:49.809 --> 00:43:54.389
We've<00:43:50.269><c> got</c><00:43:50.409><c> to</c><00:43:50.750><c> see</c><00:43:50.949><c> that</c><00:43:51.170><c> that</c><00:43:51.530><c> limits</c><00:43:51.949><c> the</c><00:43:52.610><c> freedom</c><00:43:52.949><c> that</c><00:43:53.369><c> we</c><00:43:53.630><c> have.</c>

00:43:54.650 --> 00:44:01.909
Not<00:43:55.130><c> that</c><00:43:55.610><c> we</c><00:43:56.389><c> care,</c><00:43:57.489><c> but</c><00:43:57.869><c> the</c><00:43:58.309><c> flesh</c><00:43:58.750><c> has</c><00:43:59.389><c> got</c><00:43:59.570><c> to</c><00:43:59.909><c> be</c><00:44:00.369><c> corralled</c><00:44:00.909><c> in</c><00:44:01.630><c> the</c>

00:44:01.909 --> 00:44:04.489
process<00:44:02.610><c> of</c><00:44:03.070><c> limiting</c><00:44:03.449><c> freedom.</c>

00:44:05.090 --> 00:44:09.230
So<00:44:05.230><c> who</c><00:44:05.389><c> would</c><00:44:05.630><c> take</c><00:44:05.869><c> up</c><00:44:06.130><c> following</c><00:44:06.409><c> the</c><00:44:06.710><c> Lord</c><00:44:06.969><c> with</c><00:44:08.050><c> this</c><00:44:08.329><c> reward?</c>

00:44:10.429 --> 00:44:13.010
Like<00:44:10.590><c> if</c><00:44:10.670><c> that's</c><00:44:10.929><c> all</c><00:44:11.090><c> you</c><00:44:11.250><c> ever</c><00:44:11.510><c> saw</c><00:44:11.690><c> in</c><00:44:11.909><c> life,</c><00:44:12.050><c> why</c><00:44:12.230><c> would</c><00:44:12.369><c> you</c><00:44:12.530><c> ever</c><00:44:12.710><c> want</c><00:44:12.829><c> to</c>

00:44:13.010 --> 00:44:13.510
follow<00:44:13.130><c> the</c><00:44:13.349><c> Lord?</c>

00:44:13.610 --> 00:44:15.710
All<00:44:13.769><c> this</c><00:44:13.989><c> means</c><00:44:14.190><c> is</c><00:44:14.349><c> I'm</c><00:44:14.510><c> going</c><00:44:14.590><c> to</c><00:44:14.750><c> die.</c>

00:44:16.250 --> 00:44:18.809
I'm<00:44:16.409><c> going</c><00:44:16.510><c> to</c><00:44:16.590><c> be</c><00:44:16.750><c> crucified</c><00:44:17.269><c> in</c><00:44:17.429><c> the</c><00:44:17.590><c> process.</c>

00:44:20.329 --> 00:44:25.730
But<00:44:20.949><c> he</c><00:44:21.110><c> wanted</c><00:44:21.389><c> us</c><00:44:21.710><c> to</c><00:44:21.909><c> know</c><00:44:22.050><c> the</c><00:44:22.329><c> price</c><00:44:22.889><c> because</c><00:44:24.050><c> this</c><00:44:24.389><c> man</c><00:44:24.969><c> was</c><00:44:25.469><c> a</c>

00:44:25.730 --> 00:44:28.650
man<00:44:25.949><c> who</c><00:44:27.090><c> knew</c><00:44:27.590><c> the</c><00:44:27.889><c> price</c><00:44:28.210><c> before</c>

00:44:28.650 --> 00:44:30.289
he<00:44:28.849><c> got</c><00:44:28.969><c> into</c><00:44:29.210><c> things.</c>

00:44:30.829 --> 00:44:33.610
And<00:44:30.969><c> losing</c><00:44:31.210><c> one's</c><00:44:31.670><c> life</c><00:44:31.849><c> for</c><00:44:32.050><c> the</c><00:44:32.230><c> sake</c><00:44:32.389><c> of</c><00:44:32.650><c> discipleship</c><00:44:33.389><c> of</c>

00:44:33.610 --> 00:44:35.809
the<00:44:33.789><c> Lord</c><00:44:34.369><c> was</c><00:44:34.809><c> to</c><00:44:35.090><c> find</c><00:44:35.409><c> it.</c>

00:44:36.289 --> 00:44:39.170
This<00:44:36.630><c> requires</c><00:44:37.409><c> genuine</c><00:44:38.170><c> belief.</c>

00:44:42.550 --> 00:44:45.809
That's<00:44:43.170><c> probably</c><00:44:43.389><c> why</c><00:44:43.570><c> we'll</c><00:44:43.869><c> always</c><00:44:44.070><c> be</c><00:44:44.250><c> a</c><00:44:44.469><c> small</c><00:44:44.670><c> community.</c>

00:44:47.409 --> 00:44:51.869
And<00:44:48.210><c> maybe</c><00:44:48.469><c> at</c><00:44:48.750><c> times,</c><00:44:49.130><c> vacillating</c><00:44:49.650><c> between</c><00:44:50.010><c> numbers,</c><00:44:51.150><c> large</c><00:44:51.530><c> to</c>

00:44:51.869 --> 00:44:54.210
small,<00:44:52.349><c> maybe</c><00:44:52.530><c> to</c><00:44:52.769><c> large</c><00:44:53.050><c> to</c><00:44:53.269><c> small.</c>

00:44:54.909 --> 00:44:59.670
It<00:44:55.369><c> doesn't</c><00:44:55.710><c> tend</c><00:44:56.030><c> to</c><00:44:56.429><c> stay</c><00:44:56.849><c> because</c><00:44:57.610><c> it</c><00:44:57.869><c> requires</c><00:44:58.550><c> genuine</c>

00:44:59.670 --> 00:45:03.070
belief,<00:45:01.150><c> not</c><00:45:01.610><c> faked</c><00:45:02.070><c> belief.</c>

00:45:03.829 --> 00:45:07.230
Not<00:45:04.230><c> belief</c><00:45:04.510><c> for</c><00:45:04.750><c> the</c><00:45:04.909><c> sake</c><00:45:05.090><c> of</c><00:45:05.670><c> pleasing</c><00:45:06.010><c> people,</c><00:45:06.849><c> but</c>

00:45:07.230 --> 00:45:08.750
genuine<00:45:07.710><c> belief.</c>

00:45:10.449 --> 00:45:16.570
So<00:45:10.929><c> it</c><00:45:11.090><c> goes</c><00:45:11.289><c> on,</c><00:45:11.630><c> and</c><00:45:11.789><c> it</c><00:45:11.929><c> says</c><00:45:12.070><c> the</c><00:45:12.309><c> Lord</c><00:45:12.809><c> could</c><00:45:15.909><c> speak</c><00:45:16.309><c> to</c>

00:45:16.570 --> 00:45:19.909
his<00:45:16.829><c> sheep,</c><00:45:17.289><c> and</c><00:45:17.409><c> his</c><00:45:17.650><c> sheep</c><00:45:17.889><c> would</c><00:45:18.289><c> hear</c><00:45:18.510><c> his</c><00:45:18.829><c> voice.</c>

00:45:20.449 --> 00:45:24.889
And<00:45:20.690><c> again,</c><00:45:20.929><c> it</c><00:45:21.190><c> seems</c><00:45:21.429><c> to</c><00:45:21.809><c> follow</c><00:45:22.250><c> the</c><00:45:22.989><c> natural,</c><00:45:23.809><c> that</c><00:45:23.989><c> yes,</c>

00:45:25.090 --> 00:45:29.010
there<00:45:25.530><c> is</c><00:45:25.750><c> a</c><00:45:25.909><c> way</c><00:45:26.070><c> in</c><00:45:26.269><c> which</c><00:45:26.610><c> animals</c><00:45:27.130><c> know</c><00:45:27.809><c> a</c><00:45:28.010><c> voice.</c>

00:45:29.929 --> 00:45:34.469
And<00:45:30.269><c> they</c><00:45:30.349><c> might</c><00:45:30.570><c> not</c><00:45:30.730><c> even</c><00:45:31.010><c> see</c><00:45:31.250><c> you,</c><00:45:31.510><c> but</c><00:45:31.710><c> they</c><00:45:32.250><c> can</c><00:45:32.489><c> hear</c><00:45:32.670><c> your</c><00:45:32.969><c> voice,</c><00:45:33.230><c> they</c><00:45:33.449><c> know</c><00:45:33.690><c> who</c><00:45:33.889><c> it</c><00:45:34.050><c> is.</c>

00:45:34.469 --> 00:45:39.429
And<00:45:34.949><c> it</c><00:45:35.329><c> either</c><00:45:35.630><c> makes</c><00:45:36.130><c> them</c><00:45:36.369><c> excited</c><00:45:36.869><c> or</c><00:45:37.289><c> it</c><00:45:37.730><c> relaxes</c><00:45:38.250><c> them.</c>

00:45:40.130 --> 00:45:43.090
So<00:45:40.329><c> sheep</c><00:45:40.510><c> are</c><00:45:40.789><c> unique</c><00:45:41.150><c> in</c><00:45:41.489><c> their</c><00:45:41.809><c> flocking</c><00:45:42.349><c> and</c><00:45:42.769><c> following.</c>

00:45:43.369 --> 00:45:46.250
They<00:45:43.550><c> can</c><00:45:43.829><c> be</c><00:45:44.090><c> led,</c><00:45:44.849><c> but</c><00:45:45.050><c> not</c><00:45:45.389><c> driven.</c>

00:45:47.190 --> 00:45:52.090
This<00:45:47.469><c> ordinary</c><00:45:48.050><c> but</c><00:45:48.329><c> remarkable</c><00:45:48.949><c> scene</c><00:45:49.289><c> was</c><00:45:49.590><c> to</c><00:45:49.929><c> underscore</c><00:45:50.690><c> discipleship.</c>

00:45:52.650 --> 00:45:55.829
It<00:45:52.789><c> implied</c><00:45:53.150><c> a</c><00:45:53.389><c> simple</c><00:45:53.690><c> faith</c><00:45:53.969><c> in</c><00:45:54.150><c> the</c><00:45:54.289><c> leader,</c><00:45:55.110><c> a</c><00:45:55.309><c> desire</c><00:45:55.530><c> to</c>

00:45:55.829 --> 00:45:58.989
follow,<00:45:56.690><c> and</c><00:45:56.849><c> a</c><00:45:57.150><c> resistance</c><00:45:57.809><c> to</c><00:45:58.150><c> be</c><00:45:58.349><c> distracted.</c>

00:45:59.230 --> 00:46:02.289
It's<00:45:59.570><c> remarkable</c><00:46:00.190><c> to</c><00:46:00.570><c> see</c><00:46:00.769><c> sheep</c><00:46:01.030><c> following</c><00:46:01.449><c> in</c><00:46:01.690><c> that</c><00:46:01.909><c> way.</c>

00:46:02.289 --> 00:46:05.230
So<00:46:03.190><c> we</c><00:46:03.349><c> have</c><00:46:03.570><c> to</c><00:46:03.670><c> look</c><00:46:03.849><c> at</c><00:46:03.969><c> that</c><00:46:04.190><c> example</c><00:46:04.590><c> because</c><00:46:04.869><c> the</c><00:46:05.090><c> Lord</c>

00:46:05.230 --> 00:46:07.110
refers<00:46:05.610><c> to</c><00:46:05.809><c> it</c><00:46:05.929><c> so</c><00:46:06.190><c> often.</c>

00:46:07.230 --> 00:46:11.130
My<00:46:07.329><c> sheep</c><00:46:07.809><c> hear</c><00:46:08.409><c> my</c><00:46:08.809><c> voice,</c><00:46:09.630><c> and</c><00:46:09.909><c> I</c><00:46:10.070><c> know</c><00:46:10.250><c> them.</c>

00:46:11.349 --> 00:46:14.469
And<00:46:11.590><c> it's</c><00:46:11.909><c> one</c><00:46:12.090><c> of</c><00:46:12.210><c> the</c><00:46:12.369><c> interesting</c><00:46:12.849><c> things</c><00:46:13.250><c> about</c><00:46:13.869><c> what</c><00:46:14.269><c> the</c>

00:46:14.469 --> 00:46:18.510
Lord<00:46:14.690><c> says</c><00:46:15.190><c> when</c><00:46:15.429><c> it</c><00:46:15.989><c> talks</c><00:46:16.230><c> about</c><00:46:16.530><c> evaluating</c><00:46:17.250><c> other</c><00:46:18.030><c> people.</c>

00:46:18.849 --> 00:46:22.550
He<00:46:19.070><c> says</c><00:46:19.289><c> you</c><00:46:19.429><c> will</c><00:46:19.789><c> know</c><00:46:20.010><c> them</c><00:46:20.869><c> by</c><00:46:21.329><c> their</c><00:46:21.690><c> fruit.</c>

00:46:23.710 --> 00:46:27.349
Quite<00:46:23.969><c> often,</c><00:46:24.889><c> what</c><00:46:25.070><c> people</c><00:46:25.429><c> say</c><00:46:25.909><c> is</c><00:46:26.849><c> fruit.</c>

00:46:27.349 --> 00:46:32.070
You<00:46:27.949><c> can</c><00:46:28.469><c> tell</c><00:46:28.690><c> that</c><00:46:29.849><c> Christadelphians</c><00:46:30.309><c> don't</c><00:46:30.650><c> talk</c><00:46:30.849><c> like</c><00:46:31.170><c> that.</c>

00:46:32.269 --> 00:46:34.650
How<00:46:32.510><c> come</c><00:46:32.789><c> this</c><00:46:33.050><c> person</c><00:46:33.349><c> is</c><00:46:33.610><c> talking</c><00:46:33.750><c> like</c><00:46:34.070><c> that,</c><00:46:34.309><c> claims</c><00:46:34.489><c> to</c>

00:46:35.869 --> 00:46:39.969
He<00:46:36.030><c> doesn't</c><00:46:37.349><c> bear</c><00:46:37.750><c> the</c><00:46:38.210><c> fruit</c><00:46:38.389><c> that</c><00:46:38.570><c> we</c><00:46:38.730><c> would</c><00:46:38.889><c> expect.</c>

00:46:40.550 --> 00:46:45.949
My<00:46:40.869><c> sheep</c><00:46:41.190><c> hear</c><00:46:41.449><c> my</c><00:46:41.789><c> voice,</c><00:46:42.130><c> but</c><00:46:42.309><c> if</c><00:46:42.590><c> it's</c><00:46:42.849><c> not</c><00:46:43.110><c> the</c><00:46:43.309><c> Lord's</c><00:46:43.690><c> voice,</c><00:46:44.809><c> you</c><00:46:44.989><c> know</c><00:46:45.190><c> it</c><00:46:45.369><c> isn't.</c>

00:46:46.389 --> 00:46:48.909
And<00:46:46.550><c> you</c><00:46:46.630><c> wouldn't</c><00:46:46.889><c> expect</c><00:46:47.289><c> to</c><00:46:47.449><c> be</c><00:46:47.650><c> following</c><00:46:47.909><c> them.</c>

00:46:50.269 --> 00:46:52.829
But<00:46:50.829><c> multitudes</c><00:46:51.389><c> followed</c><00:46:51.929><c> him.</c>

00:46:53.210 --> 00:46:55.869
You<00:46:53.610><c> see,</c><00:46:53.849><c> in</c><00:46:53.949><c> the</c><00:46:54.170><c> sense</c><00:46:54.389><c> of</c><00:46:54.769><c> following,</c><00:46:55.130><c> in</c><00:46:55.289><c> the</c><00:46:55.530><c> general</c>

00:47:00.409 --> 00:47:03.010
A<00:47:00.570><c> person</c><00:47:00.869><c> might</c><00:47:01.050><c> have</c><00:47:01.190><c> been</c><00:47:01.429><c> healed</c><00:47:01.750><c> and</c><00:47:02.010><c> said,</c><00:47:02.170><c> you</c><00:47:02.289><c> know,</c><00:47:02.750><c> I</c>

followed<00:47:16.010><c> him.</c>

00:47:19.469 --> 00:47:22.750
But<00:47:20.030><c> how</c><00:47:20.590><c> many</c><00:47:20.869><c> came</c><00:47:21.170><c> to</c><00:47:21.409><c> be</c><00:47:21.570><c> his</c><00:47:21.789><c> disciples?</c>

00:47:25.090 --> 00:47:26.869
Now,<00:47:25.309><c> that's</c><00:47:25.849><c> personal.</c>

00:47:33.789 --> 00:47:36.449
How<00:47:34.130><c> many</c><00:47:34.469><c> came</c><00:47:34.789><c> to</c><00:47:35.110><c> be</c><00:47:35.510><c> his</c><00:47:35.949><c> disciples?</c>

That<00:47:36.849><c> was</c><00:47:37.090><c> the</c><00:47:37.289><c> reason</c><00:47:37.510><c> why</c><00:47:37.710><c> they</c><00:47:37.809><c> came</c><00:47:38.070><c> to</c><00:47:38.250><c> him.</c>

00:47:41.789 --> 00:47:44.090

00:48:29.590 --> 00:48:32.690
He<00:48:29.809><c> never</c><00:48:30.070><c> knew</c><00:48:30.269><c> how</c><00:48:30.489><c> many</c><00:48:30.690><c> others</c><00:48:30.969><c> were</c><00:48:31.150><c> going</c><00:48:31.250><c> to</c><00:48:31.329><c> be</c><00:48:31.489><c> with</c><00:48:31.650><c> him.</c>

00:48:39.989 --> 00:48:44.230
So<00:48:40.510><c> I'll</c><00:48:40.750><c> just</c><00:48:40.929><c> say</c><00:48:41.170><c> that</c><00:48:42.630><c> the</c><00:48:43.050><c> little</c><00:48:43.269><c> words</c><00:48:43.570><c> that</c><00:48:43.809><c> come</c><00:48:43.949><c> into</c>

00:48:51.250 --> 00:48:54.869

00:48:57.849 --> 00:49:00.650
How<00:48:58.070><c> they</c><00:48:58.329><c> managed</c><00:48:58.550><c> to</c><00:48:58.789><c> do</c><00:48:58.969><c> that,</c><00:48:59.949><c> like,</c><00:49:00.110><c> I</c><00:49:00.170><c> mean,</c><00:49:00.170><c> he</c><00:49:00.269><c> was</c><00:49:00.409><c> all</c>

00:49:00.650 --> 00:49:01.150
over<00:49:00.789><c> the</c><00:49:00.949><c> place.</c>

00:49:01.190 --> 00:49:03.050

00:49:03.210 --> 00:49:07.190
But<00:49:03.469><c> that's</c><00:49:03.690><c> what</c><00:49:03.989><c> the</c><00:49:04.550><c> scriptures</c><00:49:04.869><c> testify</c><00:49:05.610><c> that</c><00:49:06.170><c> they</c><00:49:06.409><c> did.</c>

00:49:09.309 --> 00:49:12.929
Now,<00:49:09.690><c> this</c><00:49:09.869><c> is</c><00:49:10.309><c> a</c><00:49:10.429><c> very</c><00:49:10.829><c> interesting</c><00:49:11.369><c> one</c><00:49:11.610><c> and</c><00:49:11.769><c> we</c><00:49:11.949><c> are</c><00:49:12.150><c> running</c><00:49:12.389><c> out</c><00:49:12.610><c> of</c><00:49:12.769><c> time.</c>

00:49:12.989 --> 00:49:15.090
But<00:49:13.130><c> I</c><00:49:13.250><c> want</c><00:49:13.429><c> to</c><00:49:13.730><c> spend</c><00:49:13.889><c> a</c><00:49:14.030><c> little</c><00:49:14.190><c> bit</c><00:49:14.349><c> of</c><00:49:14.349><c> time</c><00:49:14.530><c> on</c><00:49:14.670><c> this</c><00:49:14.929><c> one</c>

00:49:15.090 --> 00:49:18.429
because,<00:49:16.590><c> you</c><00:49:16.710><c> see,</c><00:49:16.829><c> it</c><00:49:17.010><c> came</c><00:49:17.250><c> to</c><00:49:17.429><c> the</c><00:49:17.610><c> disciples</c><00:49:17.929><c> to</c><00:49:18.190><c> ask</c>

So<00:49:22.769><c> we</c><00:49:22.989><c> did.</c>

00:49:24.570 --> 00:49:28.349
But<00:49:24.789><c> to</c><00:49:25.170><c> follow</c><00:49:25.429><c> you</c><00:49:25.750><c> meant</c><00:49:25.969><c> that</c><00:49:26.170><c> we</c><00:49:26.210><c> had</c><00:49:26.389><c> to</c><00:49:26.570><c> leave</c><00:49:26.750><c> the</c><00:49:27.070><c> fish</c><00:49:27.289><c> behind.</c>

That<00:49:55.409><c> was</c><00:49:55.670><c> the</c><00:49:55.829><c> idea</c><00:49:56.070><c> of</c><00:49:56.289><c> the</c><00:49:56.469><c> question.</c>

00:49:57.889 --> 00:50:00.510
Jesus<00:49:58.250><c> answered</c><00:49:58.650><c> and</c><00:49:58.949><c> said,</c><00:49:59.289><c> Verily</c><00:49:59.570><c> I</c><00:49:59.750><c> see</c><00:49:59.909><c> unto</c><00:50:00.150><c> you</c><00:50:00.369><c> that</c>

00:50:00.510 --> 00:50:03.909
there<00:50:00.750><c> is</c><00:50:00.969><c> no</c><00:50:01.269><c> man</c><00:50:01.650><c> that</c><00:50:01.969><c> hath</c><00:50:02.130><c> left</c><00:50:02.449><c> house</c><00:50:02.909><c> or</c><00:50:03.269><c> brethren</c><00:50:03.610><c> or</c>

00:50:03.909 --> 00:50:06.170
sisters<00:50:04.369><c> or</c><00:50:04.630><c> father</c><00:50:04.989><c> or</c><00:50:05.289><c> mother</c><00:50:05.530><c> or</c><00:50:05.829><c> wife</c>

00:50:06.170 --> 00:50:09.769
or<00:50:06.710><c> children</c><00:50:07.230><c> or</c><00:50:07.550><c> lands</c><00:50:07.849><c> for</c><00:50:08.150><c> my</c><00:50:08.449><c> sake</c><00:50:08.630><c> in</c><00:50:08.809><c> the</c><00:50:08.969><c> Gospels.</c>

00:50:10.150 --> 00:50:12.730
But<00:50:10.289><c> he</c><00:50:10.550><c> shall</c><00:50:10.730><c> receive</c><00:50:11.170><c> a</c><00:50:11.530><c> hundredfold.</c>

00:50:12.849 --> 00:50:18.849
Now,<00:50:13.550><c> in</c><00:50:13.829><c> this</c><00:50:14.150><c> time,</c><00:50:15.570><c> houses,</c><00:50:16.349><c> brethren,</c><00:50:16.889><c> sisters,</c><00:50:17.469><c> mothers,</c><00:50:17.869><c> children,</c><00:50:18.449><c> lands</c>

00:50:18.849 --> 00:50:23.469
with<00:50:19.469><c> persecutions</c><00:50:20.429><c> in</c><00:50:22.070><c> the</c><00:50:22.289><c> world</c><00:50:22.449><c> to</c><00:50:22.710><c> come,</c><00:50:22.949><c> eternal</c><00:50:23.210><c> life.</c>

00:50:23.510 --> 00:50:26.230
Now,<00:50:23.590><c> that's</c><00:50:23.949><c> a</c><00:50:24.070><c> Bible</c><00:50:24.269><c> class</c><00:50:24.889><c> in</c><00:50:25.250><c> the</c><00:50:25.349><c> making.</c>

00:50:27.989 --> 00:50:32.949
A<00:50:28.650><c> brother</c><00:50:28.869><c> could</c><00:50:29.210><c> spend</c><00:50:29.489><c> an</c><00:50:29.789><c> evening</c><00:50:30.170><c> easily</c><00:50:30.829><c> on</c><00:50:31.230><c> that</c><00:50:31.590><c> to</c><00:50:31.869><c> try</c><00:50:32.170><c> to</c>

00:50:32.949 --> 00:50:40.269
flesh<00:50:33.190><c> that</c><00:50:33.610><c> out</c><00:50:34.050><c> as</c><00:50:34.650><c> to</c><00:50:34.889><c> how</c><00:50:35.130><c> you</c><00:50:35.429><c> could</c><00:50:35.769><c> leave</c><00:50:36.690><c> house,</c><00:50:38.090><c> brethren,</c><00:50:38.710><c> sisters,</c><00:50:39.150><c> father</c><00:50:39.530><c> and</c><00:50:39.789><c> mother</c>

00:50:40.269 --> 00:50:44.670
and<00:50:40.789><c> then</c><00:50:41.030><c> come</c><00:50:41.210><c> into</c><00:50:41.489><c> the</c><00:50:42.449><c> faith</c><00:50:42.710><c> and</c><00:50:43.150><c> find</c><00:50:43.630><c> a</c><00:50:44.050><c> hundredfold</c>

00:50:44.670 --> 00:50:49.250
increase<00:50:45.630><c> in</c><00:50:46.650><c> houses,</c><00:50:47.389><c> brethren,</c><00:50:47.829><c> sisters,</c><00:50:48.309><c> mothers,</c><00:50:48.590><c> children,</c><00:50:49.030><c> etc.</c>

00:50:49.670 --> 00:50:52.230
How<00:50:49.969><c> does</c><00:50:50.130><c> that</c><00:50:50.389><c> happen?</c><00:50:50.849><c> Does</c><00:50:51.090><c> it</c><00:50:51.329><c> happen?</c>

00:50:53.409 --> 00:50:55.170
That's<00:50:54.070><c> the</c><00:50:54.230><c> challenge.</c>

00:50:58.309 --> 00:51:01.269
So<00:50:58.909><c> it's</c><00:50:59.090><c> not</c><00:50:59.269><c> just</c><00:50:59.610><c> trading</c><00:50:59.889><c> them</c><00:51:00.190><c> off.</c>

00:51:02.269 --> 00:51:05.610
It's<00:51:02.530><c> getting</c><00:51:02.670><c> a</c><00:51:02.909><c> situation</c><00:51:03.469><c> that</c><00:51:03.710><c> is</c><00:51:03.909><c> a</c><00:51:04.010><c> hundred</c><00:51:04.170><c> times</c><00:51:04.550><c> better.</c>

00:51:07.449 --> 00:51:10.389
That<00:51:07.710><c> could</c><00:51:07.929><c> only</c><00:51:08.230><c> happen</c><00:51:08.570><c> if</c><00:51:08.750><c> people</c><00:51:09.010><c> were</c><00:51:09.230><c> thinking</c><00:51:09.530><c> about</c><00:51:09.789><c> it.</c>

00:51:10.590 --> 00:51:13.610
If<00:51:10.730><c> that</c><00:51:10.909><c> was</c><00:51:11.130><c> on</c><00:51:11.369><c> our</c><00:51:11.630><c> minds,</c><00:51:12.030><c> if</c><00:51:12.190><c> we</c><00:51:12.510><c> really</c><00:51:12.969><c> wanted</c><00:51:13.190><c> to</c><00:51:13.409><c> make</c>

00:51:13.610 --> 00:51:18.550
sure<00:51:13.849><c> that</c><00:51:14.590><c> ecclesial</c><00:51:15.230><c> members,</c><00:51:16.050><c> especially</c><00:51:16.750><c> ecclesial</c><00:51:17.409><c> members</c><00:51:17.929><c> who</c>

00:51:18.550 --> 00:51:20.650
had<00:51:18.869><c> left</c><00:51:19.590><c> these</c><00:51:20.289><c> things</c>

00:51:20.650 --> 00:51:24.210
to<00:51:20.969><c> come</c><00:51:21.250><c> into</c><00:51:21.449><c> the</c><00:51:21.750><c> truth</c><00:51:21.969><c> were</c><00:51:22.170><c> being</c><00:51:22.530><c> specially</c><00:51:23.429><c> cared</c><00:51:23.809><c> for.</c>

00:51:24.210 --> 00:51:25.690
And<00:51:24.429><c> we</c><00:51:24.610><c> didn't</c><00:51:24.849><c> just</c><00:51:25.150><c> forget</c><00:51:25.550><c> them.</c>

00:51:25.789 --> 00:51:27.269
Oh,<00:51:25.849><c> you're</c><00:51:26.050><c> in</c><00:51:26.130><c> the</c><00:51:26.309><c> truth</c><00:51:26.489><c> now.</c>

00:51:27.510 --> 00:51:28.750
Welcome,<00:51:27.909><c> brother.</c>

00:51:29.010 --> 00:51:30.190
You're<00:51:29.349><c> a</c><00:51:29.469><c> brother.</c>

00:51:31.050 --> 00:51:32.789
We'll<00:51:31.309><c> see</c><00:51:31.429><c> you</c><00:51:31.630><c> next</c><00:51:31.909><c> meeting.</c>

00:51:33.429 --> 00:51:34.969
Now,<00:51:33.610><c> you've</c><00:51:33.750><c> got</c><00:51:33.829><c> to</c><00:51:33.909><c> know</c><00:51:34.030><c> more</c><00:51:34.269><c> about</c><00:51:34.489><c> their</c><00:51:34.710><c> life.</c>

00:51:35.050 --> 00:51:36.170
You've<00:51:35.210><c> got</c><00:51:35.269><c> to</c><00:51:35.369><c> know</c><00:51:35.469><c> about</c><00:51:35.650><c> their</c><00:51:35.929><c> needs.</c>

00:51:36.230 --> 00:51:37.789
You've<00:51:36.309><c> got</c><00:51:36.449><c> to</c><00:51:36.550><c> know</c><00:51:36.710><c> how</c><00:51:36.949><c> we</c><00:51:37.110><c> can</c><00:51:37.230><c> help</c><00:51:37.469><c> them.</c>

00:51:37.989 --> 00:51:40.849
That's<00:51:38.369><c> the</c><00:51:38.610><c> only</c><00:51:39.010><c> possible</c><00:51:39.510><c> way</c><00:51:39.730><c> that</c><00:51:39.949><c> could</c><00:51:40.110><c> be</c><00:51:40.369><c> fulfilled.</c>

00:51:41.289 --> 00:51:43.809
A<00:51:41.510><c> hundredfold</c><00:51:42.070><c> now,</c><00:51:42.309><c> and</c><00:51:42.489><c> that's</c><00:51:42.750><c> the</c><00:51:42.889><c> only</c><00:51:43.130><c> Gospel</c><00:51:43.510><c> record</c>

00:51:43.809 --> 00:51:45.170
that<00:51:44.070><c> says</c><00:51:44.230><c> that.</c>

00:51:46.469 --> 00:51:50.190
He<00:51:47.150><c> doesn't</c><00:51:47.610><c> say</c><00:51:47.889><c> the</c><00:51:48.070><c> hundredfold</c><00:51:48.650><c> now</c><00:51:48.949><c> in</c><00:51:49.150><c> this</c><00:51:49.429><c> time.</c>

00:51:50.230 --> 00:51:55.190
Well,<00:51:50.929><c> not</c><00:51:51.329><c> all</c><00:51:51.530><c> the</c><00:51:51.710><c> records</c><00:51:52.610><c> state</c><00:51:53.610><c> those</c><00:51:54.110><c> words</c><00:51:54.690><c> of</c><00:51:55.110><c> what</c>

00:51:55.190 --> 00:51:56.510
Jesus<00:51:55.530><c> said</c><00:51:55.750><c> at</c><00:51:55.969><c> this</c><00:51:56.170><c> time.</c>

00:51:56.889 --> 00:51:58.969
But<00:51:57.269><c> this</c><00:51:57.670><c> one</c><00:51:57.869><c> does.</c>

00:51:59.650 --> 00:52:02.210
And<00:52:00.030><c> so</c><00:52:00.150><c> we</c><00:52:00.469><c> expect</c><00:52:00.670><c> that</c><00:52:00.849><c> that's</c><00:52:01.050><c> what</c><00:52:01.190><c> he</c><00:52:01.429><c> said.</c>

00:52:02.489 --> 00:52:04.789
A<00:52:02.789><c> hundredfold</c><00:52:03.269><c> now</c><00:52:03.550><c> in</c><00:52:03.710><c> this</c><00:52:03.969><c> time.</c>

00:52:05.670 --> 00:52:09.829
Now,<00:52:06.010><c> it</c><00:52:06.309><c> doesn't</c><00:52:06.829><c> mean</c><00:52:07.369><c> a</c><00:52:07.710><c> hundred</c><00:52:08.090><c> times</c><00:52:08.530><c> as</c><00:52:08.849><c> much.</c>

00:52:09.989 --> 00:52:13.969
It<00:52:10.590><c> couldn't</c><00:52:10.949><c> possibly</c><00:52:11.489><c> mean</c><00:52:11.769><c> that</c><00:52:12.150><c> and</c><00:52:12.429><c> be</c><00:52:13.150><c> what</c><00:52:13.449><c> Jesus</c><00:52:13.789><c> is</c>

00:52:13.969 --> 00:52:14.849
all<00:52:14.130><c> about.</c>

00:52:15.030 --> 00:52:18.349
It's<00:52:15.610><c> got</c><00:52:15.829><c> to</c><00:52:16.030><c> be</c><00:52:16.309><c> quality,</c><00:52:17.070><c> not</c><00:52:17.309><c> quantity.</c>

00:52:19.570 --> 00:52:22.590
That's<00:52:19.849><c> where</c><00:52:20.010><c> one</c><00:52:20.329><c> mother</c><00:52:20.849><c> who's</c><00:52:21.389><c> really</c><00:52:21.750><c> a</c><00:52:21.949><c> mother</c><00:52:22.130><c> in</c><00:52:22.329><c> the</c>

00:52:22.590 --> 00:52:26.329
truth<00:52:22.789><c> to</c><00:52:22.989><c> many</c><00:52:23.289><c> people</c><00:52:23.690><c> who</c><00:52:23.909><c> she's</c><00:52:24.349><c> not</c><00:52:24.650><c> naturally</c><00:52:25.030><c> related</c><00:52:25.369><c> to,</c>

00:52:26.429 --> 00:52:30.070
is<00:52:26.650><c> worth</c><00:52:26.949><c> more</c><00:52:27.630><c> than,</c><00:52:28.269><c> you</c><00:52:28.550><c> know,</c><00:52:28.909><c> a</c><00:52:28.949><c> hundred</c><00:52:29.250><c> mothers</c><00:52:29.590><c> who</c>

00:52:30.070 --> 00:52:31.469
were<00:52:30.230><c> never</c><00:52:30.409><c> that</c><00:52:30.670><c> committed.</c>

00:52:31.550 --> 00:52:36.909
It's<00:52:31.829><c> like</c><00:52:32.409><c> Ruth</c><00:52:33.050><c> and</c><00:52:33.269><c> Naomi,</c><00:52:34.230><c> you</c><00:52:34.230><c> know,</c><00:52:34.949><c> the</c><00:52:35.690><c> way</c><00:52:35.889><c> they</c><00:52:36.110><c> were</c><00:52:36.329><c> related.</c>

00:52:36.909 --> 00:52:40.809
It<00:52:37.449><c> was</c><00:52:37.710><c> a</c><00:52:37.909><c> mother</c><00:52:38.110><c>-in</c><00:52:38.369><c>-law</c><00:52:38.650><c> and</c><00:52:38.889><c> a</c><00:52:39.090><c> daughter</c><00:52:39.289><c>-in</c><00:52:39.550><c>-law.</c>

00:52:40.969 --> 00:52:45.289
But<00:52:40.969><c> she,</c><00:52:42.010><c> Ruth,</c><00:52:42.269><c> was</c><00:52:42.550><c> worth</c><00:52:42.909><c> more</c><00:52:43.690><c> than</c><00:52:44.030><c> many</c><00:52:44.389><c> sons</c><00:52:44.809><c> to</c><00:52:45.010><c> her</c>

00:52:45.289 --> 00:52:48.269
because<00:52:45.630><c> of</c><00:52:45.849><c> the</c><00:52:46.030><c> love</c><00:52:46.210><c> that</c><00:52:46.469><c> she</c><00:52:46.630><c> had</c><00:52:46.929><c> towards</c><00:52:47.570><c> her</c><00:52:48.030><c> mother</c>

00:52:48.269 --> 00:52:50.230
-in<00:52:48.429><c>-law</c><00:52:48.590><c> and</c><00:52:48.750><c> the</c><00:52:49.010><c> dedication</c><00:52:49.570><c> that</c><00:52:49.809><c> she</c><00:52:50.030><c> had.</c>

00:52:50.269 --> 00:52:51.570
So<00:52:50.530><c> it</c><00:52:50.769><c> was</c><00:52:51.010><c> the</c><00:52:51.269><c> quality.</c>

00:52:51.710 --> 00:52:53.489
It<00:52:51.710><c> wasn't</c><00:52:51.969><c> that</c><00:52:52.110><c> there's</c><00:52:52.369><c> a</c><00:52:52.409><c> hundred</c><00:52:52.730><c> Ruths.</c>

00:52:53.610 --> 00:52:57.489
It<00:52:53.789><c> was</c><00:52:54.070><c> one</c><00:52:54.550><c> daughter</c><00:52:55.050><c> who</c><00:52:55.469><c> was</c><00:52:55.809><c> worth</c><00:52:56.070><c> more</c><00:52:56.409><c> than</c><00:52:56.570><c> many</c><00:52:56.889><c> sons</c>

00:52:57.489 --> 00:53:00.710
because<00:52:58.730><c> of</c><00:52:58.889><c> the</c><00:52:58.989><c> way</c><00:52:59.090><c> she</c><00:52:59.289><c> looked</c><00:52:59.449><c> after</c><00:52:59.750><c> her</c><00:52:59.949><c> mother.</c>

00:53:01.510 --> 00:53:05.349
Now,<00:53:01.690><c> that's</c><00:53:02.030><c> the</c><00:53:02.190><c> kind</c><00:53:02.389><c> of</c><00:53:02.650><c> thing</c><00:53:02.869><c> that</c><00:53:03.309><c> following</c><00:53:03.670><c> is</c><00:53:04.969><c> involving.</c>

00:53:05.349 --> 00:53:08.170
You<00:53:05.630><c> see,</c><00:53:06.369><c> well,</c><00:53:06.449><c> we</c><00:53:06.710><c> have</c><00:53:07.170><c> followed</c><00:53:07.710><c> thee.</c>

00:53:08.429 --> 00:53:10.590
What<00:53:08.630><c> are</c><00:53:08.750><c> we</c><00:53:08.949><c> going</c><00:53:09.070><c> to</c><00:53:09.269><c> get</c><00:53:09.369><c> out</c><00:53:09.570><c> of</c><00:53:09.710><c> this?</c>

00:53:11.550 --> 00:53:14.449
And<00:53:11.909><c> that's</c><00:53:12.070><c> not</c><00:53:12.349><c> wrong</c><00:53:12.530><c> to</c><00:53:12.769><c> think</c><00:53:12.889><c> that</c><00:53:13.210><c> way</c><00:53:13.389><c> because</c><00:53:13.710><c> we</c><00:53:13.989><c> remember</c><00:53:14.269><c> how</c>

00:53:14.449 --> 00:53:17.210
we<00:53:14.730><c> started</c><00:53:14.909><c> off</c><00:53:15.289><c> in</c><00:53:15.429><c> our</c><00:53:15.690><c> class</c><00:53:15.949><c> with</c><00:53:16.230><c> God,</c>

00:53:17.329 --> 00:53:21.710
that<00:53:17.429><c> unless</c><00:53:17.710><c> you</c><00:53:18.050><c> believe</c><00:53:18.469><c> he</c><00:53:18.849><c> is</c><00:53:19.530><c> and</c><00:53:20.050><c> that</c><00:53:20.250><c> he's</c><00:53:20.550><c> a</c><00:53:20.550><c> rewarder</c><00:53:21.170><c> of</c><00:53:21.170><c> those</c><00:53:21.429><c> who</c>

00:53:21.710 --> 00:53:23.929
diligently<00:53:21.969><c> follow</c><00:53:22.369><c> him,</c><00:53:22.510><c> you</c><00:53:22.610><c> can't</c><00:53:22.789><c> even</c><00:53:23.050><c> start.</c>

00:53:23.989 --> 00:53:26.949
You've<00:53:24.349><c> got</c><00:53:24.590><c> to</c><00:53:24.769><c> believe</c><00:53:24.949><c> he's</c><00:53:25.269><c> a</c><00:53:25.429><c> diligent</c><00:53:25.750><c> rewarder</c><00:53:26.329><c> or</c><00:53:26.469><c> that</c><00:53:26.829><c> he</c>

00:53:26.949 --> 00:53:29.349
is<00:53:27.130><c> a</c><00:53:27.289><c> rewarder,</c><00:53:27.710><c> rather,</c><00:53:27.969><c> of</c><00:53:28.070><c> diligent</c><00:53:28.349><c> service.</c>

00:53:29.510 --> 00:53:33.909
And<00:53:30.030><c> that's</c><00:53:30.429><c> because</c><00:53:31.289><c> it</c><00:53:31.829><c> all</c><00:53:32.090><c> fits</c><00:53:32.309><c> together</c><00:53:32.789><c> around</c><00:53:33.409><c> how</c>

00:53:33.909 --> 00:53:36.230
God<00:53:34.449><c> approaches</c><00:53:35.110><c> us.</c>

00:53:36.309 --> 00:53:39.070
This<00:53:36.510><c> question</c><00:53:36.829><c> was</c><00:53:37.150><c> bound</c><00:53:37.369><c> to</c><00:53:37.630><c> arise,</c><00:53:37.989><c> but</c><00:53:38.190><c> we</c><00:53:38.409><c> are</c><00:53:38.650><c> indebted</c>

00:53:40.269 --> 00:53:43.190
I<00:53:40.409><c> formally</c><00:53:40.610><c> ask</c><00:53:40.949><c> it</c><00:53:41.230><c> in</c><00:53:41.329><c> order</c><00:53:41.530><c> to</c><00:53:41.710><c> get</c><00:53:41.829><c> the</c><00:53:42.030><c> Lord's</c><00:53:42.409><c> answer.</c>

00:53:43.889 --> 00:53:46.949
One<00:53:44.190><c> must</c><00:53:44.570><c> believe</c><00:53:45.010><c> that</c><00:53:45.250><c> God</c><00:53:45.389><c> is</c><00:53:45.630><c> a</c><00:53:45.869><c> rewarder</c><00:53:46.269><c> of</c><00:53:46.369><c> those</c><00:53:46.650><c> that</c>

00:53:48.550 --> 00:53:50.750
Our<00:53:48.690><c> God</c><00:53:48.829><c> is</c><00:53:49.070><c> well</c><00:53:49.289><c> aware</c><00:53:49.550><c> of</c><00:53:49.750><c> the</c><00:53:49.969><c> cost</c><00:53:50.210><c> of</c><00:53:50.510><c> following.</c>

00:53:55.550 --> 00:54:00.590
And<00:53:56.349><c> he</c><00:53:56.510><c> knows</c><00:53:56.889><c> also</c><00:53:57.550><c> that</c><00:53:57.829><c> it</c><00:53:58.070><c> may</c><00:53:58.289><c> not</c><00:53:58.510><c> happen</c><00:53:58.969><c> that</c><00:53:59.389><c> we</c><00:53:59.750><c> find</c>

00:54:09.489 --> 00:54:14.369
And<00:54:09.489><c> we</c><00:54:10.110><c> are</c><00:54:10.510><c> able</c><00:54:10.769><c> to</c><00:54:11.010><c> sense</c><00:54:11.369><c> that</c><00:54:12.210><c> now</c><00:54:12.730><c> in</c><00:54:13.150><c> the</c><00:54:13.289><c> way</c><00:54:13.550><c> that</c><00:54:13.809><c> people</c><00:54:14.010><c> can</c>

There's<00:57:20.150><c> just</c><00:57:20.369><c> nothing</c><00:57:20.590><c> in</c><00:57:20.750><c> the</c><00:57:20.889><c> record</c><00:57:21.110><c> about</c><00:57:21.349><c> her,</c><00:57:21.909><c> except</c>

00:57:22.210 --> 00:57:23.889
that<00:57:22.369><c> she</c><00:57:22.489><c> looked</c><00:57:22.670><c> back.</c>

00:57:26.829 --> 00:57:30.829
So,<00:57:27.489><c> you</c><00:57:27.809><c> know,</c><00:57:27.809><c> you</c><00:57:28.050><c> develop</c><00:57:28.429><c> your</c><00:57:29.789><c> ideas.</c>

00:57:31.530 --> 00:57:35.829
Did<00:57:32.050><c> she</c><00:57:32.309><c> rank</c><00:57:32.650><c> the</c><00:57:32.989><c> family</c><00:57:33.449><c> that</c><00:57:33.710><c> she</c><00:57:33.989><c> knew</c><00:57:34.210><c> she</c><00:57:34.449><c> was</c><00:57:34.769><c> leaving?</c>

00:57:36.369 --> 00:57:39.030
Because<00:57:36.550><c> there</c><00:57:36.730><c> were</c><00:57:36.909><c> some</c><00:57:37.150><c> of</c><00:57:37.369><c> the</c><00:57:37.510><c> sons</c><00:57:37.730><c> that</c><00:57:37.929><c> wouldn't</c><00:57:38.210><c> have</c><00:57:38.429><c> anything</c><00:57:38.769><c> to</c>

00:57:39.030 --> 00:57:41.030
do<00:57:39.210><c> with</c><00:57:39.489><c> what</c><00:57:39.829><c> Lot</c><00:57:39.929><c> was</c><00:57:40.190><c> saying.</c>

00:57:41.150 --> 00:57:42.769
And<00:57:41.389><c> she</c><00:57:41.550><c> knew</c><00:57:41.710><c> they</c><00:57:41.849><c> were</c><00:57:42.110><c> behind</c><00:57:42.510><c> her.</c>

00:57:42.849 --> 00:57:48.150
Did<00:57:43.030><c> she</c><00:57:44.050><c> look</c><00:57:44.289><c> back</c><00:57:44.530><c> to</c><00:57:44.730><c> see</c><00:57:44.829><c> if</c><00:57:45.030><c> any</c><00:57:45.190><c> of</c><00:57:45.250><c> them</c><00:57:45.630><c> were</c><00:57:45.989><c> possibly</c><00:57:46.670><c> following?</c>

00:57:50.849 --> 00:57:55.150
Did<00:57:51.369><c> she</c><00:57:51.650><c> forget</c><00:57:51.989><c> what</c><00:57:52.289><c> the</c><00:57:52.730><c> angel</c><00:57:52.989><c> had</c><00:57:53.289><c> said</c><00:57:53.510><c> not</c><00:57:53.929><c> to</c><00:57:54.050><c> look</c><00:57:54.269><c> back?</c>

00:57:55.409 --> 00:57:57.670
Like,<00:57:55.610><c> there's</c><00:57:55.809><c> all</c><00:57:56.090><c> kinds</c><00:57:56.349><c> of</c><00:57:56.929><c> possible</c><00:57:57.349><c> answers.</c>

00:57:57.690 --> 00:57:59.130
You<00:57:57.869><c> could</c><00:57:58.110><c> brainstorm</c><00:57:58.650><c> this</c><00:57:58.989><c> one.</c>

00:57:59.130 --> 00:58:02.409
It's<00:57:59.130><c> a</c><00:57:59.130><c> good</c><00:57:59.429><c> CYC</c><00:58:00.070><c> exercise</c><00:58:00.590><c> to</c><00:58:00.730><c> go</c><00:58:00.909><c> into</c><00:58:01.050><c> this</c><00:58:01.349><c> and</c><00:58:01.510><c> say,</c><00:58:02.130><c> what</c><00:58:02.230><c> do</c>

00:58:02.409 --> 00:58:02.730
you<00:58:02.590><c> think?</c>

00:58:02.849 --> 00:58:03.869
Why<00:58:03.090><c> did</c><00:58:03.210><c> she</c><00:58:03.389><c> look</c><00:58:03.590><c> back?</c>

00:58:04.010 --> 00:58:07.469
And<00:58:04.010><c> just</c><00:58:04.530><c> not</c><00:58:04.710><c> trying</c><00:58:04.929><c> to</c><00:58:05.230><c> find</c><00:58:05.550><c> the</c><00:58:05.929><c> answer</c><00:58:06.269><c> that,</c><00:58:07.289><c> because</c>

00:58:07.469 --> 00:58:08.929
I<00:58:07.590><c> don't</c><00:58:07.750><c> think</c><00:58:07.849><c> the</c><00:58:08.050><c> Bible</c><00:58:08.230><c> tells</c><00:58:08.550><c> us,</c>

00:58:09.130 --> 00:58:12.510
but<00:58:09.369><c> just</c><00:58:09.670><c> to</c><00:58:09.909><c> see</c><00:58:10.090><c> all</c><00:58:10.269><c> the</c><00:58:10.570><c> possibilities</c><00:58:11.050><c> of</c><00:58:11.429><c> why</c><00:58:11.849><c> people</c>

00:58:12.510 --> 00:58:14.010
look<00:58:12.949><c> back.</c>

00:58:14.469 --> 00:58:17.909
The<00:58:14.670><c> Bible</c><00:58:15.050><c> tells</c><00:58:15.429><c> us</c><00:58:15.730><c> again</c><00:58:16.230><c> and</c><00:58:16.570><c> again</c><00:58:17.010><c> and</c><00:58:17.230><c> again,</c><00:58:17.670><c> once</c>

00:58:17.909 --> 00:58:21.210
you<00:58:18.309><c> start,</c><00:58:19.269><c> don't</c><00:58:19.849><c> look</c><00:58:20.190><c> back.</c>

00:58:21.590 --> 00:58:23.909
Like,<00:58:21.849><c> don't</c><00:58:22.050><c> look</c><00:58:22.389><c> back</c><00:58:22.710><c> longingly.</c>

00:58:24.730 --> 00:58:27.469
Do<00:58:24.869><c> I</c><00:58:24.949><c> really</c><00:58:25.170><c> want</c><00:58:25.289><c> to</c><00:58:25.449><c> leave</c><00:58:25.570><c> this</c><00:58:26.269><c> or</c><00:58:26.530><c> do</c><00:58:26.590><c> I</c><00:58:26.710><c> want</c><00:58:26.869><c> to</c><00:58:26.989><c> go</c><00:58:27.150><c> here?</c>

00:58:27.469 --> 00:58:30.389
Like,<00:58:28.469><c> stopping</c><00:58:28.469><c> somewhere</c><00:58:28.929><c> along</c><00:58:29.190><c> the</c><00:58:29.309><c> line</c><00:58:29.409><c> and</c><00:58:29.670><c> trying</c><00:58:29.809><c> to</c>

00:58:30.389 --> 00:58:32.469
reevaluate<00:58:31.050><c> where</c><00:58:31.269><c> you</c><00:58:31.530><c> are.</c>

00:58:33.369 --> 00:58:36.090
That's<00:58:33.710><c> the</c><00:58:33.949><c> world.</c><00:58:34.610><c> That's</c><00:58:34.949><c> the</c><00:58:35.230><c> flesh.</c>

00:58:36.309 --> 00:58:37.989
You'll<00:58:36.570><c> likely</c><00:58:36.750><c> go</c><00:58:37.050><c> back</c><00:58:37.329><c> if</c><00:58:37.510><c> you</c><00:58:37.610><c> do</c><00:58:37.809><c> that.</c>

00:58:37.989 --> 00:58:39.269
That's<00:58:38.269><c> what</c><00:58:38.429><c> the</c><00:58:38.630><c> problem</c><00:58:38.849><c> is.</c>

00:58:39.530 --> 00:58:40.610
And<00:58:39.750><c> you</c><00:58:39.869><c> won't</c><00:58:40.070><c> be</c><00:58:40.269><c> going</c><00:58:40.449><c> ahead.</c>

00:58:40.670 --> 00:58:44.809
If<00:58:40.789><c> you</c><00:58:41.130><c> stay</c><00:58:41.469><c> focused</c><00:58:42.150><c> on</c><00:58:42.630><c> what</c><00:58:42.849><c> you're</c><00:58:43.469><c> thinking</c><00:58:43.789><c> on,</c><00:58:44.650><c> then</c>

00:58:44.809 --> 00:58:47.829
the<00:58:44.929><c> likelihood</c><00:58:45.230><c> is</c><00:58:45.769><c> you</c><00:58:46.570><c> will</c><00:58:46.769><c> keep</c><00:58:47.050><c> on.</c>

00:58:48.289 --> 00:58:51.690
Now<00:58:48.630><c> I'm</c><00:58:48.630><c> just</c><00:58:48.889><c> going</c><00:58:49.070><c> to</c><00:58:49.630><c> leave</c><00:58:49.829><c> it</c><00:58:50.010><c> there</c><00:58:50.369><c> because</c><00:58:50.989><c> our</c><00:58:51.409><c> time</c>

00:58:51.690 --> 00:58:54.730
is<00:58:51.889><c> up</c><00:58:52.010><c> and</c><00:58:52.130><c> we</c><00:58:52.349><c> have</c><00:58:52.750><c> a</c><00:58:52.969><c> memorial</c><00:58:53.329><c> meeting</c><00:58:53.590><c> to</c><00:58:54.230><c> look</c><00:58:54.449><c> into.</c>

00:58:54.730 --> 00:59:00.289
So<00:58:55.030><c> we'll</c><00:58:56.010><c> pick</c><00:58:56.170><c> up</c><00:58:56.369><c> again,</c><00:58:56.750><c> Lord</c><00:58:56.909><c> willing,</c><00:58:58.050><c> in</c><00:58:58.269><c> our</c><00:58:58.369><c> next</c><00:58:59.309><c> class.</c>
