00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:21.900
 Hi, and welcome to the Willow Ridge Church weekly podcast.

00:00:22.380 --> 00:00:25.500
 This is where you can find audio for our current and past sermons.

00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:29.980
 We hope that you enjoy this week's installment, and be sure to check back next week to hear

00:00:29.980 --> 00:00:30.880
 the latest message.

00:00:31.200 --> 00:00:32.080
 Thanks for listening.

00:00:43.160 --> 00:00:44.080
 Well, good morning.

00:00:45.220 --> 00:00:47.700
 Glad that you guys are here with me.

00:00:47.900 --> 00:00:50.440
 Go ahead and get this out of the way before we get going.

00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:54.560
 I hope I'm a little bit better than I was last week, as I feel like I spent 90% of the

00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:55.580
 message coughing.

00:00:55.720 --> 00:00:59.860
 And so if you notice up here today, I've got my coffee here with me today just to kind of

00:00:59.960 --> 00:01:04.700
 help out with my throat, and I got a pocket full of cough drops to kind of help battle

00:01:04.700 --> 00:01:06.480
 whatever this is that's going on here.

00:01:06.600 --> 00:01:09.640
 But hopefully we can get through the message this morning.

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.320
 Before we get started, I want to kind of update you guys on some things that are going on.

00:01:13.580 --> 00:01:19.720
 Number one, be in prayer for our CR missions team that's been in New York City this past

00:01:19.720 --> 00:01:20.000
 week.

00:01:20.060 --> 00:01:24.720
 They left Thursday, did some ministry Friday, Saturday, coming back today, giving out all

00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:28.240
 the coats that we provided for them as a church.

00:01:28.460 --> 00:01:29.620
 I thought this was really neat.

00:01:29.620 --> 00:01:34.460
 We had set a goal of about 150 coats from our congregation.

00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:35.720
 We didn't tell you guys that.

00:01:36.060 --> 00:01:39.300
 And you guys, in your faithfulness, gave over 170 coats.

00:01:39.620 --> 00:01:42.740
 And so they were able to go and give those out.

00:01:42.900 --> 00:01:45.200
 I've been texting with the team the whole time they were up there.

00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:49.520
 And I do know before they started giving things away for free, right?

00:01:49.600 --> 00:01:52.420
 Because sometimes you're like, all right, is this this whole bait and switch?

00:01:52.520 --> 00:01:56.540
 But just in conversations that they were able to have with people on the street as they

00:01:56.540 --> 00:02:02.000
 were coming by, I do know that Mark Babb, our leader of CR, was able to lead one man to

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:03.300
 the Lord standing out there.

00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:06.240
 And so we celebrate all that God is doing with that.

00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:10.800
 Also, as you leave, I want to encourage you to stop by our tree.

00:02:10.920 --> 00:02:13.000
 We got them in building one and over in building two.

00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:16.060
 And we've got those wonderful paper ornaments on the tree.

00:02:16.060 --> 00:02:18.520
 And those are the prayer requests for our missionary partners.

00:02:18.640 --> 00:02:22.820
 And we want to challenge you to grab off one of those, put it on your Christmas tree.

00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:27.820
 And then as you see that throughout this season, you'll be reminded to pray for those missionaries

00:02:27.820 --> 00:02:30.020
 and specific with that prayer request.

00:02:30.140 --> 00:02:33.260
 And then there is a package beside each one of those trees.

00:02:33.380 --> 00:02:34.640
 And that's not for decoration.

00:02:34.780 --> 00:02:36.300
 It's there for a purpose.

00:02:36.440 --> 00:02:40.320
 Instead of us going out and sponsoring a family or an organization,

00:02:40.580 --> 00:02:45.120
 what we're looking to do during this season is to bless the Stockman family

00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:46.280
 and Hope Valley Church.

00:02:46.620 --> 00:02:50.380
 And so if you would have gone and bought a gift or done something like that and then donated

00:02:50.380 --> 00:02:52.580
 through there, we ask that you just give financially.

00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:59.220
 And 100% of all that goes into that will be sent to them as they continue on in their ministry

00:02:59.220 --> 00:02:59.580
 there.

00:02:59.720 --> 00:03:02.200
 We will be collecting that through Christmas Eve.

00:03:02.300 --> 00:03:07.660
 So the Christmas Eve service will be the last opportunity in order to be able to give to that.

00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:13.620
 And last, with our missions of wanting to share this, Rick and Tina Nolan,

00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:18.580
 who are part of our church family and who are missionaries right now in Athens, Greece,

00:03:18.760 --> 00:03:21.260
 and they are working with Afghan refugees.

00:03:21.640 --> 00:03:23.200
 They asked if we could pray for them.

00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:26.740
 So on December 8th, 9th, and 10th, so coming up this week,

00:03:27.060 --> 00:03:28.940
 they will be hosting a Christmas party.

00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:32.920
 Now, how many of you over the course of the Christmas season will have a get-together,

00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:35.300
 a party at your house, or we'll go to one, right?

00:03:35.340 --> 00:03:36.120
 Raise your hand, all right?

00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:40.600
 So they're going to be hosting one, or they'll be hosting three, the 8th, 9th, and 10th.

00:03:40.900 --> 00:03:46.240
 They've invited somewhere between the number of 300 to 400 Afghan refugees

00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:50.680
 to come and to partake in a meal and a celebration with them.

00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:52.860
 Will they have the opportunity to hear about Jesus?

00:03:53.040 --> 00:03:56.240
 So I don't know about you, but I probably ain't inviting 300 people to my house.

00:03:56.500 --> 00:03:58.620
 But that's what they're doing is we want to pray for them.

00:03:59.020 --> 00:04:02.020
 And they just asked, they said, please pray that they'll come

00:04:02.020 --> 00:04:04.320
 and that their hearts will be receptive.

00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:08.340
 So with that, I want us to go ahead and go before the Lord in prayer

00:04:08.340 --> 00:04:11.980
 to pray specifically for Rick and Tina Nolan in their ministry.

00:04:12.140 --> 00:04:12.980
 So would you join me?

00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:15.620
 Lord, I thank you for the Nolans.

00:04:16.140 --> 00:04:18.820
 Lord, I thank you for the call that you placed on their life

00:04:18.820 --> 00:04:20.460
 and their willingness to go.

00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:24.500
 Lord, to take their gifts and their talents that you would bless them with

00:04:24.500 --> 00:04:28.500
 and to use them to make known your name amongst a difficult,

00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:31.680
 hard-to-reach group of people.

00:04:32.780 --> 00:04:35.820
 Lord, we pray for these parties that they're going to be hosting.

00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:38.860
 Lord, we pray for the people who will come.

00:04:39.880 --> 00:04:42.180
 Lord, we pray for a mighty work to take place.

00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:45.420
 Lord, we pray for culture barriers,

00:04:45.540 --> 00:04:49.620
 for language barriers to be crossed for the sake of the gospel

00:04:49.620 --> 00:04:51.380
 and through the power of your spirit.

00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:57.460
 And Lord, that maybe men and women and children could come to faith in Jesus Christ through this.

00:04:58.420 --> 00:05:02.000
 Lord, I thank you for Rick and Tina and the model of obedience that they've shown.

00:05:02.180 --> 00:05:03.760
 Lord, may they be blessed.

00:05:03.900 --> 00:05:05.320
 May they feel your presence.

00:05:05.540 --> 00:05:06.900
 Lord, may they feel your peace.

00:05:07.060 --> 00:05:11.120
 Lord, may they feel your presence with them as they minister.

00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:14.060
 And Lord, we thank you so much for what you're doing.

00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:19.800
 We thank you for the man in New York City who received Christ as his Savior.

00:05:20.520 --> 00:05:25.380
 We thank you for the Stopmans this morning as they gather together in West Jordan, Utah.

00:05:25.880 --> 00:05:31.800
 And Lord, as they gather with their church, many of them lost to hear the word of the Lord.

00:05:32.640 --> 00:05:35.200
 Lord, we pray that lives will be changed.

00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:36.620
 And it's in Jesus' name we pray.

00:05:37.140 --> 00:05:37.460
 Amen.

00:05:37.980 --> 00:05:38.180
 Amen.

00:05:38.520 --> 00:05:39.680
 Well, I almost forgot this.

00:05:39.760 --> 00:05:43.040
 If you didn't grab your Lord's Supper elements,

00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:46.400
 they are back here at the very back of the auditorium.

00:05:46.440 --> 00:05:48.800
 And so as we get started, not a big deal.

00:05:48.900 --> 00:05:50.300
 You can stand up, go back there.

00:05:50.420 --> 00:05:54.780
 At the end of the message, we will be taking the Lord's Supper together.

00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:57.780
 So if you've got your Bibles, go ahead and open up to John chapter 1.

00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:11.100
 As you turn there, if you were to have looked at the end of the gospel in John chapter 20,

00:06:11.100 --> 00:06:15.340
 you would find the reason why John is writing his gospel.

00:06:15.500 --> 00:06:20.400
 And this is important for us to see and to take note of as we work through this.

00:06:20.440 --> 00:06:24.620
 As you turn, I want to read to you John 20, verses 30 and 31.

00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:25.660
 It says this,

00:06:25.660 --> 00:06:29.900
 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples,

00:06:30.200 --> 00:06:32.180
 which are not written in this book.

00:06:32.900 --> 00:06:37.840
 But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ,

00:06:38.180 --> 00:06:44.060
 the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.

00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:46.940
 And so John is telling you at the end of this,

00:06:46.940 --> 00:06:51.820
 so imagine you're receiving this gospel of John for the very first time.

00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:55.740
 You've began in John chapter 1, like we're going to begin in this morning.

00:06:55.860 --> 00:06:59.180
 You don't know anything about who Jesus is when you begin to read.

00:06:59.400 --> 00:07:02.720
 And then you get to John chapter 20, verse 30,

00:07:02.860 --> 00:07:06.360
 and it becomes clear the whole point of everything that he's told.

00:07:07.460 --> 00:07:11.700
 Every parable that's listed, every miracle that's there,

00:07:11.980 --> 00:07:14.080
 every conversation that happens,

00:07:14.400 --> 00:07:16.420
 John says it's for a point.

00:07:16.420 --> 00:07:22.900
 And the point of all of this is so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ,

00:07:23.140 --> 00:07:25.460
 the Son of God.

00:07:26.140 --> 00:07:30.040
 And so a couple things as we get into this that's going to be very important for us

00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.420
 in understanding John chapter 1.

00:07:32.700 --> 00:07:36.200
 So everything that John writes, number 1, is inspired,

00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:39.440
 which means this, it's given to him by God.

00:07:40.080 --> 00:07:44.620
 It's not John sitting down and trying to be creative and come up with things on his own.

00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:47.400
 It's not John forming a group and saying,

00:07:47.500 --> 00:07:48.860
 okay, what do we need to talk about?

00:07:49.100 --> 00:07:52.900
 It's John writing through the power of the Holy Spirit,

00:07:53.060 --> 00:07:55.180
 the Word of God from God,

00:07:55.280 --> 00:08:00.700
 so that we can read and so that people can be saved.

00:08:01.340 --> 00:08:04.440
 Number two, everything that John writes is intentional.

00:08:04.980 --> 00:08:05.760
 It's intentional.

00:08:05.900 --> 00:08:07.580
 I think this is really important.

00:08:08.460 --> 00:08:11.000
 John says he left some things out.

00:08:11.980 --> 00:08:13.340
 He left some things out.

00:08:13.900 --> 00:08:14.980
 So what John's saying is,

00:08:15.180 --> 00:08:17.480
 there's going to be some other things that you may read,

00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:20.500
 that you see that there's these other miracles that are there

00:08:20.500 --> 00:08:23.220
 and I left them out of mine and that's okay.

00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:26.040
 So as John is working through all of this,

00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:29.360
 he's writing in his mind for an intentional reason

00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:30.760
 and an intentional purpose

00:08:30.760 --> 00:08:37.920
 because he believes that all of these things communicate who Christ is.

00:08:39.100 --> 00:08:40.600
 And all of it matters.

00:08:41.680 --> 00:08:42.500
 He's intentional.

00:08:43.560 --> 00:08:44.900
 It's not happenstance.

00:08:45.700 --> 00:08:48.460
 And then lastly, it's firsthand.

00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:49.720
 It's firsthand.

00:08:50.520 --> 00:08:54.660
 For the most part, there are some accounts that he has to share,

00:08:54.860 --> 00:08:58.440
 but for the most part, John is sharing with you what he saw,

00:08:58.800 --> 00:09:02.840
 what he experienced and who he knows Christ to be.

00:09:03.500 --> 00:09:06.580
 And so John is being very deliberate

00:09:06.580 --> 00:09:10.720
 and being inspired by God in writing and saying,

00:09:10.940 --> 00:09:13.680
 you know, I saw this, but here's what I want to focus in on

00:09:13.680 --> 00:09:16.560
 and here's what I want to do in this.

00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:20.120
 And so let's begin reading in John chapter 1, verse 1.

00:09:21.400 --> 00:09:22.160
 John says,

00:09:22.280 --> 00:09:45.240
 And so what I want us to see first is here is Jesus is the Word.

00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:47.620
 Now, we're going to read verse 14 later,

00:09:47.780 --> 00:09:49.160
 but I want to jump down real quick.

00:09:49.260 --> 00:09:51.840
 In fact, it's not going to even be on the screen and read it to you.

00:09:52.100 --> 00:09:52.520
 And it says,

00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:55.620
 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,

00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:57.360
 and we have seen his glory,

00:09:57.740 --> 00:10:00.320
 glory as of the only Son from the Father,

00:10:00.660 --> 00:10:02.660
 full of grace and truth.

00:10:02.800 --> 00:10:04.160
 And so from 14,

00:10:04.160 --> 00:10:07.800
 we can see who John is talking about when he says the Word.

00:10:07.860 --> 00:10:08.880
 It is Jesus.

00:10:09.380 --> 00:10:11.440
 And so Jesus is the Word.

00:10:11.580 --> 00:10:15.100
 Now, it's kind of peculiar as we read through this.

00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:19.380
 There's four Gospels that start things in very different ways.

00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:22.420
 Now, again, I want you to put you in the audience

00:10:22.420 --> 00:10:24.560
 of someone who is receiving this letter,

00:10:24.660 --> 00:10:25.940
 and you open it up,

00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:26.740
 and you see,

00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:28.500
 In the beginning was the Word.

00:10:28.640 --> 00:10:28.840
 Huh?

00:10:29.560 --> 00:10:30.080
 The Word?

00:10:30.980 --> 00:10:32.640
 And the Word was with God.

00:10:32.740 --> 00:10:34.160
 Again, what is this Word?

00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:36.760
 And the Word was God.

00:10:38.020 --> 00:10:42.140
 And he, okay, so it's he was in the beginning with God,

00:10:43.060 --> 00:10:44.840
 and all things were made through him,

00:10:44.880 --> 00:10:48.360
 and without him was not anything made that was made.

00:10:49.300 --> 00:10:52.100
 Why did John choose the Word?

00:10:53.140 --> 00:10:55.280
 Remember, John's being intentional with this.

00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:58.760
 Remember, John's inspired in this.

00:10:59.100 --> 00:11:00.920
 So why not just say Jesus?

00:11:01.400 --> 00:11:03.060
 In the beginning was Jesus,

00:11:03.060 --> 00:11:05.300
 and Jesus was with God,

00:11:05.380 --> 00:11:07.020
 and Jesus was God.

00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:08.840
 Why not just say that?

00:11:09.100 --> 00:11:10.120
 Why say Word?

00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:15.240
 And I believe it's very important that John says Word.

00:11:16.040 --> 00:11:18.300
 This Word for us here,

00:11:18.580 --> 00:11:21.180
 a literal translation of that Word,

00:11:21.280 --> 00:11:22.480
 the Word is logos,

00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:24.420
 is spoken Word.

00:11:25.920 --> 00:11:29.000
 And so in the beginning was the spoken Word,

00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:31.440
 and the spoken Word was with God,

00:11:31.520 --> 00:11:34.140
 and the spoken Word was God.

00:11:34.760 --> 00:11:37.720
 When we think about the story of Scripture as a whole,

00:11:37.880 --> 00:11:40.960
 God speaking has been a very key aspect

00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:42.560
 of the narrative of Scripture.

00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:47.680
 In Genesis 1, God speaks creation into being.

00:11:47.980 --> 00:11:49.220
 In Genesis chapter 2,

00:11:49.520 --> 00:11:52.060
 God speaks to Adam about the fruit of the tree

00:11:52.060 --> 00:11:53.700
 that he's not supposed to eat.

00:11:53.920 --> 00:11:55.500
 And we begin to see this pattern

00:11:55.500 --> 00:11:58.380
 of what God is doing as he speaks to people.

00:11:58.380 --> 00:12:00.620
 God spoke to Noah and said,

00:12:01.020 --> 00:12:01.900
 build an ark,

00:12:02.020 --> 00:12:03.400
 the spoken Word of God,

00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:04.600
 to save people.

00:12:04.900 --> 00:12:06.380
 God speaks to Abraham

00:12:06.380 --> 00:12:08.860
 to tell him that he will create from him

00:12:08.860 --> 00:12:10.040
 a great nation,

00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:11.880
 the spoken Word of God

00:12:11.880 --> 00:12:14.080
 that will create a holy people.

00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:15.840
 God speaks to Moses

00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:17.720
 and tells him to return to Egypt

00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:20.140
 and lead God's people from captivity,

00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:21.760
 the spoken Word of God

00:12:21.760 --> 00:12:22.960
 that sets people free

00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:24.920
 from what enslaves them.

00:12:24.920 --> 00:12:28.800
 We see God speaking and creating

00:12:28.800 --> 00:12:31.880
 and causing things to fall into place

00:12:31.880 --> 00:12:33.300
 according to his plan,

00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:35.400
 not by the written Word of God,

00:12:35.520 --> 00:12:37.460
 but by the spoken Word of God

00:12:37.460 --> 00:12:38.780
 being the very means

00:12:38.780 --> 00:12:40.720
 by which these things would take place.

00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:43.960
 But then God also in Scripture

00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:47.240
 needs to speak to his people.

00:12:47.920 --> 00:12:50.460
 And we largely see God

00:12:50.460 --> 00:12:52.860
 speaking to larger groups of people

00:12:52.860 --> 00:12:54.700
 using a group of individuals

00:12:54.700 --> 00:12:56.040
 called prophets.

00:12:56.820 --> 00:12:58.600
 And so God would speak to the prophet

00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:00.260
 and the prophet would then deliver

00:13:00.260 --> 00:13:02.500
 the message to the people.

00:13:03.260 --> 00:13:04.380
 Some examples of those,

00:13:04.500 --> 00:13:06.040
 Moses was a prophet

00:13:06.040 --> 00:13:08.500
 who took the message to Pharaoh.

00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:11.020
 Nathan was the prophet

00:13:11.020 --> 00:13:13.240
 who took a message to King David.

00:13:13.740 --> 00:13:15.320
 And there are many, many others

00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:17.120
 that we see in Scripture

00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:19.220
 in the accounts that are listed

00:13:19.220 --> 00:13:21.160
 about writing about the prophets,

00:13:21.280 --> 00:13:22.200
 the Word of the prophets,

00:13:22.300 --> 00:13:23.920
 from Isaiah to Malachi.

00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:25.840
 Sixteen books of the Bible

00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:28.480
 are prophets who were given a message

00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:31.020
 from God to an audience.

00:13:31.020 --> 00:13:33.140
 and there are more than just these

00:13:33.140 --> 00:13:34.800
 in the Old Testament.

00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:37.140
 And so we see that God

00:13:37.140 --> 00:13:39.640
 is continually working and moving

00:13:39.640 --> 00:13:42.940
 by using the spoken Word of God

00:13:42.940 --> 00:13:44.560
 to put into place

00:13:44.560 --> 00:13:48.300
 and to call his people to himself.

00:13:49.980 --> 00:13:53.280
 But following Malachi,

00:13:54.020 --> 00:13:55.340
 God stopped.

00:13:56.620 --> 00:13:58.040
 And God was silent.

00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:01.140
 And God was silent,

00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:02.600
 not for a moment,

00:14:03.800 --> 00:14:04.880
 not for a minute,

00:14:06.260 --> 00:14:08.260
 not for a small season,

00:14:09.180 --> 00:14:10.560
 but for 400 years.

00:14:12.020 --> 00:14:13.180
 And then the story

00:14:13.180 --> 00:14:14.660
 that we're going to talk about,

00:14:14.760 --> 00:14:17.060
 the story that we're going to think about

00:14:17.060 --> 00:14:18.960
 in all of these things,

00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:20.940
 Jesus is born.

00:14:22.340 --> 00:14:24.780
 And then before the public ministry

00:14:24.780 --> 00:14:26.100
 of Jesus,

00:14:26.340 --> 00:14:27.480
 there's this crazy guy

00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:28.040
 in the wilderness.

00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:30.480
 in John the Baptist.

00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:32.840
 And he's a prophet

00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:34.760
 who calling people to repent

00:14:34.760 --> 00:14:36.880
 because the Messiah

00:14:36.880 --> 00:14:39.060
 is coming.

00:14:40.340 --> 00:14:41.340
 And so what John,

00:14:41.580 --> 00:14:43.160
 the writer of the gospel,

00:14:43.340 --> 00:14:45.160
 not John the Baptist,

00:14:45.620 --> 00:14:48.840
 he captures this moment.

00:14:50.220 --> 00:14:50.960
 And he says,

00:14:51.060 --> 00:14:52.140
 we've been hearing about

00:14:52.140 --> 00:14:53.860
 the spoken Word.

00:14:54.540 --> 00:14:57.140
 What's being delivered to us

00:14:57.140 --> 00:14:58.780
 has been the spoken Word.

00:14:59.400 --> 00:15:00.780
 When we study the prophets,

00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:02.340
 we read about

00:15:02.340 --> 00:15:03.780
 the spoken Word.

00:15:04.040 --> 00:15:05.240
 When we hear about

00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:07.060
 Moses and Noah

00:15:07.060 --> 00:15:08.540
 and God's faithfulness,

00:15:08.660 --> 00:15:09.600
 we hear about

00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:11.020
 the spoken Word of God.

00:15:11.220 --> 00:15:12.160
 But now,

00:15:12.700 --> 00:15:14.260
 now what God

00:15:14.260 --> 00:15:16.220
 has sent to us

00:15:16.220 --> 00:15:17.520
 is the Christ,

00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:19.020
 the Son of God,

00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:20.140
 and everything

00:15:20.140 --> 00:15:22.360
 which embodies in him

00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:24.600
 is the spoken Word

00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:25.340
 of God.

00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:26.960
 He's all of it.

00:15:27.800 --> 00:15:29.020
 He's every aspect.

00:15:29.300 --> 00:15:30.780
 He's every detail.

00:15:31.160 --> 00:15:32.580
 He's every moment.

00:15:32.760 --> 00:15:33.220
 He doesn't need

00:15:33.220 --> 00:15:33.980
 to send Moses

00:15:33.980 --> 00:15:35.940
 to set the captives free

00:15:35.940 --> 00:15:37.920
 because Jesus

00:15:37.920 --> 00:15:39.440
 is what sets free.

00:15:40.260 --> 00:15:41.280
 He doesn't send Noah

00:15:41.280 --> 00:15:42.780
 to build an ark

00:15:42.780 --> 00:15:44.280
 where you can run

00:15:44.280 --> 00:15:45.080
 into the ark

00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:46.620
 to find salvation

00:15:46.620 --> 00:15:48.300
 and to find life

00:15:48.300 --> 00:15:50.080
 because you'll find it

00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:50.920
 in Christ

00:15:50.920 --> 00:15:51.800
 and in Christ alone.

00:15:52.580 --> 00:15:53.040
 It doesn't need

00:15:53.040 --> 00:15:54.580
 to be from Abraham

00:15:54.580 --> 00:15:56.800
 because God's people

00:15:56.800 --> 00:15:57.700
 are going to be

00:15:57.700 --> 00:15:59.120
 a different people

00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:00.600
 bought and purchased

00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:02.040
 by the blood

00:16:02.040 --> 00:16:02.880
 of Christ.

00:16:02.880 --> 00:16:04.120
 So in this very

00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:05.660
 first verse,

00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:07.460
 John's going to take

00:16:07.460 --> 00:16:08.140
 what everything

00:16:08.140 --> 00:16:09.320
 is going to be about

00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:10.320
 in the entire

00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:11.980
 gospel narrative

00:16:11.980 --> 00:16:13.460
 of John

00:16:13.460 --> 00:16:13.960
 and he says,

00:16:14.160 --> 00:16:15.060
 I want to point you

00:16:15.060 --> 00:16:15.620
 to this

00:16:15.620 --> 00:16:16.900
 so that you can see

00:16:16.900 --> 00:16:18.200
 all that this book

00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:20.060
 is going to talk about

00:16:20.060 --> 00:16:22.160
 so that you can place

00:16:22.160 --> 00:16:22.880
 your faith

00:16:22.880 --> 00:16:24.860
 in Jesus Christ

00:16:24.860 --> 00:16:26.420
 as the Son of God.

00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:27.780
 So what does it mean

00:16:27.780 --> 00:16:28.920
 that Jesus is the Word?

00:16:29.580 --> 00:16:30.860
 Jesus is the Word

00:16:30.860 --> 00:16:31.920
 and the Word

00:16:31.920 --> 00:16:32.800
 is eternal.

00:16:34.380 --> 00:16:34.820
 John says,

00:16:34.920 --> 00:16:35.380
 in the beginning

00:16:35.380 --> 00:16:36.640
 was the Word.

00:16:37.560 --> 00:16:38.900
 Jesus always was

00:16:38.900 --> 00:16:40.720
 always is

00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:42.560
 and always will be.

00:16:43.100 --> 00:16:44.200
 He is not defined

00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:45.080
 by time

00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:47.180
 as He is before time.

00:16:47.380 --> 00:16:48.160
 He is different

00:16:48.160 --> 00:16:48.880
 than us

00:16:48.880 --> 00:16:51.160
 in that He is not created.

00:16:51.900 --> 00:16:52.200
 Church,

00:16:52.280 --> 00:16:53.220
 to say that Jesus

00:16:53.220 --> 00:16:53.920
 is eternal

00:16:53.920 --> 00:16:54.520
 is this,

00:16:54.760 --> 00:16:55.880
 that in salvation

00:16:55.880 --> 00:16:57.600
 Jesus is not

00:16:57.600 --> 00:16:58.740
 the backup plan.

00:16:59.920 --> 00:17:00.040
 Right?

00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:02.020
 Maybe a lot of you

00:17:02.020 --> 00:17:03.260
 watched football yesterday.

00:17:04.040 --> 00:17:04.940
 I watched some.

00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:05.620
 We all know

00:17:05.620 --> 00:17:06.620
 my team didn't play

00:17:06.620 --> 00:17:07.300
 yesterday, right?

00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:09.600
 Maybe one day,

00:17:10.040 --> 00:17:11.060
 but not right now.

00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:12.800
 When I coached football,

00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:13.700
 one of the most

00:17:13.700 --> 00:17:14.500
 important things

00:17:14.500 --> 00:17:15.180
 that we had,

00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:16.620
 a time frame for us,

00:17:16.740 --> 00:17:17.360
 it was important

00:17:17.360 --> 00:17:18.040
 of what we would

00:17:18.040 --> 00:17:18.740
 take care of

00:17:18.740 --> 00:17:19.400
 during the course

00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:20.120
 of the week,

00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:21.220
 but as the game

00:17:21.220 --> 00:17:21.960
 got started,

00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:22.880
 things would need

00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:23.980
 to be adjusted.

00:17:24.580 --> 00:17:25.140
 And so what was

00:17:25.140 --> 00:17:26.160
 important for us

00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:27.080
 is to go in

00:17:27.080 --> 00:17:28.180
 at halftime

00:17:28.180 --> 00:17:28.840
 and say this,

00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:30.000
 I know we planned

00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:31.560
 this all week long,

00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:32.280
 but fellas,

00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:33.380
 it ain't working.

00:17:33.780 --> 00:17:34.480
 So instead,

00:17:34.700 --> 00:17:35.680
 for this second half

00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:36.780
 of the football game,

00:17:36.900 --> 00:17:37.580
 this is what

00:17:37.580 --> 00:17:38.560
 our plan was,

00:17:38.660 --> 00:17:39.400
 but now for the

00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:40.340
 second half of the game,

00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:42.020
 we're gonna scrap this

00:17:42.020 --> 00:17:42.820
 and we're gonna go

00:17:42.820 --> 00:17:43.560
 forward with this.

00:17:43.700 --> 00:17:44.140
 And we've got

00:17:44.140 --> 00:17:45.080
 about 10 minutes,

00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:46.220
 I know we've spent

00:17:46.220 --> 00:17:48.120
 12 hours doing this,

00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:49.660
 preparing for this,

00:17:49.780 --> 00:17:50.560
 but now we've got

00:17:50.560 --> 00:17:51.080
 10 minutes

00:17:51.080 --> 00:17:52.240
 to plan

00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:53.200
 and to prepare

00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:54.000
 for this.

00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:56.260
 That's not Jesus.

00:17:57.940 --> 00:17:58.940
 Jesus isn't

00:17:58.940 --> 00:17:59.860
 a simple

00:17:59.860 --> 00:18:00.900
 halftime

00:18:00.900 --> 00:18:01.760
 adjustment.

00:18:02.820 --> 00:18:03.400
 Jesus is

00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:04.420
 the eternal

00:18:04.420 --> 00:18:05.460
 will,

00:18:05.900 --> 00:18:06.520
 the eternal

00:18:06.520 --> 00:18:08.420
 word of God.

00:18:09.500 --> 00:18:10.320
 And only is Jesus

00:18:10.320 --> 00:18:11.480
 the word eternal,

00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:12.840
 but Jesus is the word

00:18:12.840 --> 00:18:13.680
 and the word

00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:14.360
 is creator.

00:18:15.220 --> 00:18:16.360
 That all things

00:18:16.360 --> 00:18:17.000
 were made

00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:18.360
 through him

00:18:18.360 --> 00:18:20.100
 is what John writes.

00:18:20.820 --> 00:18:21.360
 In the work

00:18:21.360 --> 00:18:21.980
 of creation,

00:18:22.120 --> 00:18:22.920
 he is the means

00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:24.140
 by which we all

00:18:24.140 --> 00:18:24.660
 exist.

00:18:24.940 --> 00:18:25.500
 And if he is

00:18:25.500 --> 00:18:26.100
 the means

00:18:26.100 --> 00:18:27.080
 of the creation

00:18:27.080 --> 00:18:28.020
 and we are

00:18:28.020 --> 00:18:29.020
 the creation,

00:18:29.300 --> 00:18:30.180
 then we exist

00:18:30.180 --> 00:18:31.140
 for him

00:18:31.140 --> 00:18:32.600
 is what scripture

00:18:32.600 --> 00:18:33.340
 tells us.

00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:34.840
 Because creation

00:18:34.840 --> 00:18:36.380
 belongs to him.

00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:37.560
 And this is gonna

00:18:37.560 --> 00:18:38.340
 be so important

00:18:38.340 --> 00:18:39.100
 when it comes

00:18:39.100 --> 00:18:40.200
 to giving your

00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:41.320
 life to Christ

00:18:41.320 --> 00:18:42.320
 and receiving

00:18:42.320 --> 00:18:44.140
 Christ as Savior.

00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:45.220
 That he is

00:18:45.220 --> 00:18:45.940
 mine,

00:18:46.600 --> 00:18:47.740
 but I am his.

00:18:48.840 --> 00:18:49.700
 That he is

00:18:49.700 --> 00:18:50.480
 the creator.

00:18:51.040 --> 00:18:51.320
 God,

00:18:51.420 --> 00:18:51.920
 the word is

00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:52.740
 creator,

00:18:52.980 --> 00:18:53.600
 but then also

00:18:53.600 --> 00:18:55.100
 Jesus is the word

00:18:55.100 --> 00:18:56.080
 and the word

00:18:56.080 --> 00:18:56.800
 is divine.

00:18:57.080 --> 00:18:58.640
 scripture says

00:18:58.640 --> 00:18:59.060
 the word

00:18:59.060 --> 00:19:00.440
 was with God

00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:01.500
 and the word

00:19:01.500 --> 00:19:02.340
 was God.

00:19:03.180 --> 00:19:04.520
 The beautiful

00:19:04.520 --> 00:19:06.160
 mystery of the

00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:07.260
 doctrine of the

00:19:07.260 --> 00:19:08.180
 trinity that

00:19:08.180 --> 00:19:09.240
 begins to unfold.

00:19:10.060 --> 00:19:10.680
 The word was

00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:11.360
 with God,

00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:12.300
 but also the word

00:19:12.300 --> 00:19:12.940
 is God.

00:19:13.220 --> 00:19:13.700
 Father,

00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:14.300
 son,

00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:15.140
 and what we'll

00:19:15.140 --> 00:19:16.020
 begin to see

00:19:16.020 --> 00:19:16.480
 later,

00:19:16.820 --> 00:19:17.780
 the Holy Spirit.

00:19:18.320 --> 00:19:19.260
 And that he has

00:19:19.260 --> 00:19:20.480
 relationship with

00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:20.940
 God,

00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:22.620
 but yet he is

00:19:22.620 --> 00:19:23.020
 God.

00:19:23.500 --> 00:19:24.260
 He perfectly

00:19:24.260 --> 00:19:25.200
 reflects all

00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:25.700
 that God

00:19:25.700 --> 00:19:26.420
 is and

00:19:26.420 --> 00:19:27.060
 deity,

00:19:27.820 --> 00:19:28.400
 but in a

00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:29.200
 distinct person

00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:29.800
 of Christ.

00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:31.120
 So that as we

00:19:31.120 --> 00:19:31.820
 look and as we

00:19:31.820 --> 00:19:33.200
 see this life

00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:33.900
 of Jesus,

00:19:34.140 --> 00:19:35.200
 we are seeing

00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:35.960
 a man,

00:19:36.040 --> 00:19:36.440
 but we are

00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:37.560
 seeing God

00:19:37.560 --> 00:19:39.020
 in him

00:19:39.020 --> 00:19:40.660
 and through him

00:19:40.660 --> 00:19:41.920
 of every fiber

00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:42.660
 of who he is,

00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:43.940
 100% man,

00:19:44.060 --> 00:19:45.180
 100% God,

00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:46.440
 and the divine

00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:48.500
 nature of Christ.

00:19:49.860 --> 00:19:50.380
 And so let's keep

00:19:50.380 --> 00:19:51.420
 reading as John

00:19:51.420 --> 00:19:51.960
 begins.

00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:54.160
 And he says,

00:19:54.260 --> 00:19:54.960
 and in him

00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:55.740
 was life,

00:19:56.280 --> 00:19:57.220
 and the life

00:19:57.220 --> 00:19:57.860
 was the light

00:19:57.860 --> 00:19:58.300
 of men.

00:19:59.060 --> 00:19:59.520
 The light

00:19:59.520 --> 00:20:00.340
 shines in the

00:20:00.340 --> 00:20:00.780
 darkness,

00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:01.560
 and the darkness

00:20:01.560 --> 00:20:02.500
 has not overcome

00:20:02.500 --> 00:20:02.760
 it.

00:20:03.340 --> 00:20:04.120
 There was a man

00:20:04.120 --> 00:20:04.960
 sent from God

00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:05.580
 whose name was

00:20:05.580 --> 00:20:06.040
 John.

00:20:06.140 --> 00:20:06.880
 He came as a

00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:07.920
 witness to bear

00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:09.000
 witness about the

00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:10.180
 light that all

00:20:10.180 --> 00:20:10.800
 might believe

00:20:10.800 --> 00:20:11.500
 through him.

00:20:12.060 --> 00:20:12.880
 And he was not

00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:13.360
 the light,

00:20:13.460 --> 00:20:14.300
 but came to bear

00:20:14.300 --> 00:20:15.420
 witness about the

00:20:15.420 --> 00:20:15.720
 light.

00:20:16.060 --> 00:20:17.080
 The true light,

00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:17.820
 which gives light

00:20:17.820 --> 00:20:18.540
 to everyone,

00:20:18.980 --> 00:20:20.000
 was coming into

00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:20.540
 the world.

00:20:20.540 --> 00:20:21.420
 And so now

00:20:21.420 --> 00:20:22.540
 John shifts

00:20:22.540 --> 00:20:23.300
 a little bit

00:20:23.300 --> 00:20:24.520
 from the word

00:20:24.520 --> 00:20:25.180
 to the light

00:20:25.180 --> 00:20:25.820
 and what we see

00:20:25.820 --> 00:20:26.040
 here,

00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:27.100
 not hard to figure

00:20:27.100 --> 00:20:27.720
 out this point,

00:20:27.980 --> 00:20:28.600
 Jesus is the

00:20:28.600 --> 00:20:28.900
 light.

00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:30.420
 Jesus is the

00:20:30.420 --> 00:20:30.660
 light.

00:20:31.100 --> 00:20:31.780
 What is the

00:20:31.780 --> 00:20:32.580
 light a symbol

00:20:32.580 --> 00:20:32.960
 of?

00:20:33.780 --> 00:20:34.620
 The light is

00:20:34.620 --> 00:20:35.220
 the symbol

00:20:35.220 --> 00:20:36.320
 of hope.

00:20:36.980 --> 00:20:37.460
 Of hope,

00:20:37.540 --> 00:20:37.720
 right?

00:20:38.260 --> 00:20:38.720
 Think about it.

00:20:39.060 --> 00:20:39.720
 How many of you,

00:20:39.860 --> 00:20:40.820
 let's be honest,

00:20:41.180 --> 00:20:41.880
 we're doing a show

00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:42.360
 of hands today.

00:20:42.600 --> 00:20:43.160
 How many of you

00:20:43.160 --> 00:20:43.700
 at some point

00:20:43.700 --> 00:20:44.540
 in your life,

00:20:44.600 --> 00:20:45.240
 maybe even still

00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:45.460
 today,

00:20:45.520 --> 00:20:45.800
 we're not going

00:20:45.800 --> 00:20:46.320
 to call you out,

00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:46.920
 but at some

00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:47.700
 point in your

00:20:47.700 --> 00:20:47.960
 life,

00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:49.140
 you were afraid

00:20:49.140 --> 00:20:49.880
 of the dark?

00:20:49.980 --> 00:20:50.460
 Raise your hand.

00:20:50.540 --> 00:20:50.760
 Anybody?

00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:51.900
 I was.

00:20:52.420 --> 00:20:53.200
 I was petrified

00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:53.600
 of the dark,

00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:53.820
 right?

00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:55.840
 And what brought

00:20:55.840 --> 00:20:56.500
 you hope,

00:20:57.140 --> 00:20:57.420
 right?

00:20:58.060 --> 00:20:58.800
 It was that

00:20:58.800 --> 00:20:59.800
 little teeny

00:20:59.800 --> 00:21:01.560
 tiny nightlight

00:21:01.560 --> 00:21:02.540
 that your parents

00:21:02.540 --> 00:21:03.100
 would put into

00:21:03.100 --> 00:21:03.700
 your room.

00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:04.740
 Or like what I

00:21:04.740 --> 00:21:06.080
 loved is my

00:21:06.080 --> 00:21:06.980
 door had to

00:21:06.980 --> 00:21:07.560
 stay shut,

00:21:07.700 --> 00:21:08.320
 but there was

00:21:08.320 --> 00:21:08.860
 about a gap

00:21:08.860 --> 00:21:09.600
 about that big

00:21:09.600 --> 00:21:10.140
 underneath my

00:21:10.140 --> 00:21:10.840
 bedroom door,

00:21:11.080 --> 00:21:11.640
 and my parents

00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:12.180
 would leave the

00:21:12.180 --> 00:21:13.800
 hallway light on,

00:21:13.860 --> 00:21:14.020
 right?

00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:14.740
 And then right

00:21:14.740 --> 00:21:15.640
 before they went

00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:16.060
 to bed,

00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:16.920
 it was my goal

00:21:16.920 --> 00:21:17.520
 to be asleep

00:21:17.520 --> 00:21:18.000
 before they

00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:18.640
 did because

00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:19.060
 they cut

00:21:19.060 --> 00:21:19.540
 off the

00:21:19.540 --> 00:21:19.800
 light.

00:21:20.520 --> 00:21:21.020
 And if they

00:21:21.020 --> 00:21:21.500
 cut off that

00:21:21.500 --> 00:21:21.920
 light and I

00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:22.500
 was still asleep,

00:21:22.560 --> 00:21:22.980
 there was no

00:21:22.980 --> 00:21:23.480
 sleep for me

00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:23.900
 that night,

00:21:23.940 --> 00:21:24.180
 right?

00:21:24.660 --> 00:21:25.160
 Because I was

00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:25.720
 petrified of

00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:26.180
 the dark.

00:21:26.420 --> 00:21:26.920
 But the

00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:27.600
 light brought

00:21:27.600 --> 00:21:28.100
 hope,

00:21:29.100 --> 00:21:29.780
 and the

00:21:29.780 --> 00:21:30.180
 light took

00:21:30.180 --> 00:21:30.540
 away the

00:21:30.540 --> 00:21:30.900
 fear.

00:21:31.980 --> 00:21:32.340
 And this

00:21:32.340 --> 00:21:32.620
 is what

00:21:32.620 --> 00:21:33.540
 Jesus brings

00:21:33.540 --> 00:21:34.980
 as light

00:21:34.980 --> 00:21:35.460
 here for

00:21:35.460 --> 00:21:36.320
 him is

00:21:36.320 --> 00:21:36.660
 hope.

00:21:37.360 --> 00:21:37.780
 Now you

00:21:37.780 --> 00:21:38.160
 and I,

00:21:38.260 --> 00:21:38.700
 we need to

00:21:38.700 --> 00:21:39.420
 think about

00:21:39.420 --> 00:21:40.080
 hope a little

00:21:40.080 --> 00:21:41.000
 bit differently.

00:21:41.760 --> 00:21:42.840
 Hope is not

00:21:42.840 --> 00:21:43.660
 what we often

00:21:43.660 --> 00:21:44.360
 think of when

00:21:44.360 --> 00:21:45.100
 we think of

00:21:45.100 --> 00:21:46.060
 biblical hope.

00:21:46.140 --> 00:21:46.560
 Here's what I

00:21:46.560 --> 00:21:47.060
 would describe

00:21:47.060 --> 00:21:47.360
 it as.

00:21:47.660 --> 00:21:47.900
 I don't know

00:21:47.900 --> 00:21:48.200
 about you,

00:21:48.260 --> 00:21:48.680
 but I remember

00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:49.560
 being in school

00:21:49.560 --> 00:21:50.940
 and I was a

00:21:50.940 --> 00:21:51.800
 procrastinator.

00:21:51.940 --> 00:21:52.400
 I was a

00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:52.980
 delayer.

00:21:53.260 --> 00:21:53.840
 And I'll never

00:21:53.840 --> 00:21:54.180
 forget,

00:21:54.280 --> 00:21:54.640
 we'd have those

00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:55.560
 times where the

00:21:55.560 --> 00:21:56.020
 teacher would

00:21:56.020 --> 00:21:56.160
 say,

00:21:56.260 --> 00:21:56.460
 we're going to

00:21:56.460 --> 00:21:57.140
 have a test

00:21:57.140 --> 00:21:58.020
 tomorrow,

00:21:58.460 --> 00:21:59.160
 so make sure

00:21:59.160 --> 00:21:59.740
 you study.

00:22:00.260 --> 00:22:00.680
 And then I

00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:01.400
 would get home

00:22:01.400 --> 00:22:01.980
 and my friends

00:22:01.980 --> 00:22:02.360
 were ready to

00:22:02.360 --> 00:22:03.020
 play football.

00:22:03.260 --> 00:22:03.660
 My friends

00:22:03.660 --> 00:22:03.980
 were ready to

00:22:03.980 --> 00:22:04.640
 play basketball.

00:22:05.060 --> 00:22:05.660
 There was a TV

00:22:05.660 --> 00:22:06.300
 show that I

00:22:06.300 --> 00:22:07.020
 wanted to watch.

00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:07.500
 And so I was

00:22:07.500 --> 00:22:07.620
 like,

00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:08.260
 absolutely,

00:22:08.520 --> 00:22:09.320
 I can study

00:22:09.320 --> 00:22:09.940
 later.

00:22:10.180 --> 00:22:10.620
 And so I would

00:22:10.620 --> 00:22:11.280
 go and do all

00:22:11.280 --> 00:22:11.960
 of those things,

00:22:12.040 --> 00:22:12.220
 right?

00:22:12.320 --> 00:22:12.820
 And then I'd

00:22:12.820 --> 00:22:13.460
 get home and

00:22:13.460 --> 00:22:13.940
 now it's time to

00:22:13.940 --> 00:22:14.320
 go to bed,

00:22:14.360 --> 00:22:14.540
 so I'm going to

00:22:14.540 --> 00:22:14.900
 go to bed.

00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:15.620
 But it's okay

00:22:15.620 --> 00:22:16.120
 because I can

00:22:16.120 --> 00:22:16.660
 study in the

00:22:16.660 --> 00:22:17.560
 morning and I'd

00:22:17.560 --> 00:22:17.980
 get to school

00:22:17.980 --> 00:22:18.580
 early in the

00:22:18.580 --> 00:22:19.280
 morning and then

00:22:19.280 --> 00:22:19.700
 my friends

00:22:19.700 --> 00:22:20.100
 want to hang

00:22:20.100 --> 00:22:20.780
 out and talk.

00:22:20.860 --> 00:22:21.400
 And so I

00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:21.800
 would sit around

00:22:21.800 --> 00:22:22.100
 and hang out

00:22:22.100 --> 00:22:22.740
 and talk and

00:22:22.740 --> 00:22:23.160
 all of a sudden

00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:23.760
 class would

00:22:23.760 --> 00:22:25.780
 begin and I

00:22:25.780 --> 00:22:26.400
 haven't studied.

00:22:27.260 --> 00:22:27.960
 And I would

00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:29.860
 have hope that

00:22:29.860 --> 00:22:30.260
 maybe,

00:22:30.380 --> 00:22:31.140
 just maybe,

00:22:31.760 --> 00:22:32.580
 the teacher

00:22:32.580 --> 00:22:33.340
 would forget

00:22:33.340 --> 00:22:33.700
 that we're

00:22:33.700 --> 00:22:34.060
 supposed to

00:22:34.060 --> 00:22:34.660
 have a test,

00:22:34.700 --> 00:22:34.920
 right?

00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:36.780
 That never

00:22:36.780 --> 00:22:37.340
 happened.

00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:39.120
 Not one time,

00:22:39.500 --> 00:22:40.720
 but I always

00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:41.880
 hoped for it.

00:22:42.320 --> 00:22:43.260
 That's not

00:22:43.260 --> 00:22:43.880
 what this

00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:44.800
 hope is.

00:22:45.700 --> 00:22:46.640
 It's not

00:22:46.640 --> 00:22:47.480
 just simply

00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:48.380
 a desire

00:22:48.380 --> 00:22:49.540
 for something

00:22:49.540 --> 00:22:50.480
 beneficial for

00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:51.360
 us to

00:22:51.360 --> 00:22:51.780
 happen.

00:22:52.620 --> 00:22:53.320
 But biblical

00:22:53.320 --> 00:22:54.880
 hope is a

00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:55.480
 confident

00:22:55.480 --> 00:22:56.860
 expectation

00:22:56.860 --> 00:22:58.040
 that good

00:22:58.040 --> 00:22:58.780
 will come

00:22:58.780 --> 00:22:59.500
 because of

00:22:59.500 --> 00:23:00.080
 what we know

00:23:00.080 --> 00:23:00.600
 to be true.

00:23:02.180 --> 00:23:03.120
 I read this

00:23:03.120 --> 00:23:03.620
 this week and

00:23:03.620 --> 00:23:03.900
 I found it

00:23:03.900 --> 00:23:04.620
 very interesting

00:23:04.620 --> 00:23:06.020
 that in the

00:23:06.020 --> 00:23:06.320
 Bible,

00:23:06.780 --> 00:23:07.960
 whenever hope

00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:08.820
 is mentioned,

00:23:09.380 --> 00:23:10.000
 doubt is

00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:10.860
 never attached.

00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:12.400
 Doubt's

00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:13.700
 never attached

00:23:13.700 --> 00:23:14.360
 because there's

00:23:14.360 --> 00:23:15.480
 confidence in

00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:15.780
 this.

00:23:16.520 --> 00:23:17.080
 And so as we

00:23:17.080 --> 00:23:18.180
 see as John

00:23:18.180 --> 00:23:18.860
 talks about

00:23:18.860 --> 00:23:19.780
 Jesus coming

00:23:19.780 --> 00:23:20.680
 to be the

00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:21.080
 light,

00:23:21.560 --> 00:23:22.140
 that Jesus

00:23:22.140 --> 00:23:22.940
 is our

00:23:22.940 --> 00:23:23.800
 confident hope,

00:23:23.980 --> 00:23:24.520
 that from the

00:23:24.520 --> 00:23:25.140
 darkness of

00:23:25.140 --> 00:23:26.000
 this world

00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:26.640
 that the

00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:27.260
 light is

00:23:27.260 --> 00:23:27.740
 there,

00:23:28.040 --> 00:23:28.620
 the light

00:23:28.620 --> 00:23:29.500
 of life,

00:23:30.520 --> 00:23:31.020
 we begin

00:23:31.020 --> 00:23:31.600
 to understand

00:23:31.600 --> 00:23:32.200
 that our

00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:33.040
 biblical hope

00:23:33.040 --> 00:23:34.220
 is not a

00:23:34.220 --> 00:23:34.640
 feeling,

00:23:35.640 --> 00:23:36.360
 but our

00:23:36.360 --> 00:23:37.240
 biblical hope

00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:38.220
 is the

00:23:38.220 --> 00:23:38.940
 reality in

00:23:38.940 --> 00:23:39.360
 Christ.

00:23:40.520 --> 00:23:40.780
 John,

00:23:40.860 --> 00:23:41.340
 place your

00:23:41.340 --> 00:23:42.500
 faith in

00:23:42.500 --> 00:23:42.800
 him,

00:23:43.620 --> 00:23:44.840
 receive him,

00:23:45.460 --> 00:23:46.480
 believe in

00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:46.840
 him,

00:23:47.340 --> 00:23:48.040
 and become.

00:23:48.940 --> 00:23:49.140
 Look at

00:23:49.140 --> 00:23:50.340
 verses 10

00:23:50.340 --> 00:23:51.220
 through 13.

00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:53.320
 It says that

00:23:53.320 --> 00:23:54.860
 he was in

00:23:54.860 --> 00:23:55.400
 the world,

00:23:56.280 --> 00:23:57.200
 and the world

00:23:57.200 --> 00:23:57.700
 was made

00:23:57.700 --> 00:23:58.420
 through him,

00:23:58.760 --> 00:23:59.620
 yet the world

00:23:59.620 --> 00:24:00.420
 did not know

00:24:00.420 --> 00:24:00.740
 him,

00:24:01.460 --> 00:24:02.080
 and he came

00:24:02.080 --> 00:24:02.760
 to his own,

00:24:03.380 --> 00:24:03.940
 and his own

00:24:03.940 --> 00:24:05.060
 people did not

00:24:05.060 --> 00:24:05.960
 receive him.

00:24:06.740 --> 00:24:07.300
 This is the focus

00:24:07.300 --> 00:24:08.260
 of verse 12.

00:24:09.320 --> 00:24:09.920
 But to all

00:24:09.920 --> 00:24:10.420
 who did

00:24:10.420 --> 00:24:11.220
 receive him,

00:24:11.660 --> 00:24:12.520
 who believed

00:24:12.520 --> 00:24:13.380
 in his name,

00:24:13.600 --> 00:24:14.300
 he gave the

00:24:14.300 --> 00:24:14.840
 right to

00:24:14.840 --> 00:24:15.640
 become children

00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:16.580
 of God,

00:24:17.040 --> 00:24:17.740
 who were

00:24:17.740 --> 00:24:19.200
 born not

00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:20.120
 of blood nor

00:24:20.120 --> 00:24:20.920
 of the will

00:24:20.920 --> 00:24:21.700
 of the flesh,

00:24:22.140 --> 00:24:22.740
 nor of the

00:24:22.740 --> 00:24:23.440
 will of man,

00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:24.520
 but God.

00:24:25.280 --> 00:24:25.680
 And so as

00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:26.520
 John lays

00:24:26.520 --> 00:24:27.460
 the foundation

00:24:27.460 --> 00:24:28.320
 of who Jesus

00:24:28.320 --> 00:24:28.720
 is,

00:24:29.040 --> 00:24:30.060
 not only is

00:24:30.060 --> 00:24:30.640
 Jesus the

00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:31.020
 word,

00:24:31.340 --> 00:24:32.080
 not only is

00:24:32.080 --> 00:24:32.920
 Jesus the

00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:33.280
 light,

00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:33.880
 but Jesus

00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:34.880
 is also the

00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:35.120
 way.

00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:36.880
 Jesus himself

00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:37.280
 will say

00:24:37.280 --> 00:24:37.660
 this in

00:24:37.660 --> 00:24:38.620
 John 14,

00:24:39.320 --> 00:24:39.940
 when Thomas

00:24:39.940 --> 00:24:40.580
 comes to him,

00:24:40.660 --> 00:24:41.620
 doubting Thomas

00:24:41.620 --> 00:24:42.180
 that we know

00:24:42.180 --> 00:24:42.820
 of in scripture,

00:24:43.180 --> 00:24:43.860
 the same Thomas

00:24:43.860 --> 00:24:44.260
 that says,

00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:45.000
 I will believe

00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:45.480
 it is you,

00:24:45.580 --> 00:24:45.780
 Christ,

00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:46.660
 if you show

00:24:46.660 --> 00:24:47.720
 me the holes

00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:48.760
 in your hand

00:24:48.760 --> 00:24:49.520
 following the

00:24:49.520 --> 00:24:50.020
 resurrection,

00:24:50.360 --> 00:24:50.820
 and Jesus

00:24:50.820 --> 00:24:51.420
 does that.

00:24:51.620 --> 00:24:51.740
 Well,

00:24:51.760 --> 00:24:52.080
 as Jesus

00:24:52.080 --> 00:24:52.540
 is telling

00:24:52.540 --> 00:24:53.080
 them about

00:24:53.080 --> 00:24:53.600
 the place

00:24:53.600 --> 00:24:53.840
 that he

00:24:53.840 --> 00:24:54.440
 will go

00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:55.140
 and prepare

00:24:55.140 --> 00:24:55.560
 for them,

00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:56.120
 he begins

00:24:56.120 --> 00:24:56.860
 to describe

00:24:56.860 --> 00:24:57.600
 eternity

00:24:57.600 --> 00:24:58.360
 with them,

00:24:58.440 --> 00:24:58.860
 and Jesus

00:24:58.860 --> 00:24:59.380
 is saying,

00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:00.340
 this is where

00:25:00.340 --> 00:25:00.700
 I'm going

00:25:00.700 --> 00:25:01.200
 to go,

00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:02.140
 and then Thomas,

00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:02.840
 I love Thomas,

00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:03.800
 I see so much

00:25:03.800 --> 00:25:04.320
 of myself

00:25:04.320 --> 00:25:04.840
 in Thomas.

00:25:05.140 --> 00:25:05.540
 Thomas is like,

00:25:05.580 --> 00:25:05.680
 well,

00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:05.980
 hold up,

00:25:06.040 --> 00:25:06.280
 Jesus,

00:25:06.500 --> 00:25:07.120
 if you're

00:25:07.120 --> 00:25:07.800
 going there,

00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:08.580
 I want to

00:25:08.580 --> 00:25:08.980
 go there,

00:25:09.100 --> 00:25:09.540
 and I don't

00:25:09.540 --> 00:25:10.080
 know how

00:25:10.080 --> 00:25:10.560
 I'm going

00:25:10.560 --> 00:25:11.120
 to get there.

00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:11.680
 How do I

00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:11.980
 get there,

00:25:12.060 --> 00:25:12.280
 Jesus?

00:25:13.720 --> 00:25:14.380
 And Jesus

00:25:14.380 --> 00:25:14.680
 says,

00:25:14.740 --> 00:25:15.120
 it's me.

00:25:16.260 --> 00:25:16.560
 Jesus

00:25:16.560 --> 00:25:16.780
 says,

00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:17.880
 I am

00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:18.460
 the way,

00:25:18.940 --> 00:25:19.700
 I am

00:25:19.700 --> 00:25:20.400
 the truth,

00:25:20.820 --> 00:25:21.440
 and I am

00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:21.860
 the life.

00:25:22.180 --> 00:25:22.860
 No one

00:25:22.860 --> 00:25:23.720
 comes to

00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:24.240
 the Father

00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:25.320
 except through

00:25:25.320 --> 00:25:25.600
 me.

00:25:26.260 --> 00:25:26.640
 And it's

00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:27.280
 what John

00:25:27.280 --> 00:25:28.280
 is communicating

00:25:28.280 --> 00:25:28.780
 here.

00:25:28.780 --> 00:25:29.300
 but to

00:25:29.300 --> 00:25:29.540
 all

00:25:29.540 --> 00:25:29.860
 who did

00:25:29.860 --> 00:25:30.360
 receive

00:25:30.360 --> 00:25:30.780
 him,

00:25:30.900 --> 00:25:31.140
 who

00:25:31.140 --> 00:25:31.740
 believed

00:25:31.740 --> 00:25:31.900
 in

00:25:31.900 --> 00:25:32.100
 his

00:25:32.100 --> 00:25:32.460
 name,

00:25:32.660 --> 00:25:32.860
 he

00:25:32.860 --> 00:25:33.340
 gave

00:25:33.340 --> 00:25:33.600
 the

00:25:33.600 --> 00:25:34.060
 right

00:25:34.060 --> 00:25:34.520
 to

00:25:34.520 --> 00:25:35.160
 become

00:25:35.160 --> 00:25:35.820
 children

00:25:35.820 --> 00:25:36.180
 of

00:25:36.180 --> 00:25:36.480
 God.

00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:38.000
 In

00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:38.360
 Scripture,

00:25:38.600 --> 00:25:39.080
 in Acts,

00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:40.500
 the early

00:25:40.500 --> 00:25:40.900
 Christians

00:25:40.900 --> 00:25:41.600
 weren't called

00:25:41.600 --> 00:25:42.000
 Christians,

00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:42.400
 they were

00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:42.860
 called

00:25:42.860 --> 00:25:43.520
 followers

00:25:43.520 --> 00:25:44.400
 of the

00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:44.720
 way.

00:25:45.500 --> 00:25:45.900
 because

00:25:45.900 --> 00:25:46.220
 even

00:25:46.220 --> 00:25:46.380
 they

00:25:46.380 --> 00:25:46.540
 would

00:25:46.540 --> 00:25:46.660
 have

00:25:46.660 --> 00:25:47.320
 acknowledged

00:25:47.320 --> 00:25:47.680
 the

00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:48.540
 claims

00:25:48.540 --> 00:25:48.760
 of

00:25:48.760 --> 00:25:49.240
 Christ

00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:49.460
 where

00:25:49.460 --> 00:25:49.720
 he

00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:50.100
 says

00:25:50.100 --> 00:25:50.660
 that

00:25:50.660 --> 00:25:51.200
 he

00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:51.780
 is

00:25:51.780 --> 00:25:51.980
 the

00:25:51.980 --> 00:25:52.260
 way

00:25:52.260 --> 00:25:52.740
 and

00:25:52.740 --> 00:25:53.340
 Jesus

00:25:53.340 --> 00:25:53.980
 is

00:25:53.980 --> 00:25:54.260
 the

00:25:54.260 --> 00:25:54.740
 only

00:25:54.740 --> 00:25:55.600
 way

00:25:55.600 --> 00:25:55.880
 of

00:25:55.880 --> 00:25:56.420
 salvation.

00:25:57.080 --> 00:25:57.420
 And he

00:25:57.420 --> 00:25:57.620
 gives

00:25:57.620 --> 00:25:57.840
 this

00:25:57.840 --> 00:25:58.560
 beautiful

00:25:58.560 --> 00:25:59.200
 picture

00:25:59.200 --> 00:25:59.680
 here

00:25:59.680 --> 00:25:59.940
 of

00:25:59.940 --> 00:26:00.120
 what

00:26:00.120 --> 00:26:00.400
 this

00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:00.920
 looks

00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:01.140
 at,

00:26:01.220 --> 00:26:01.460
 three

00:26:01.460 --> 00:26:01.940
 parts,

00:26:02.360 --> 00:26:02.620
 but to

00:26:02.620 --> 00:26:02.840
 all

00:26:02.840 --> 00:26:03.000
 who

00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:03.200
 did

00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:04.000
 receive

00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:04.440
 him,

00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:05.340
 who

00:26:05.340 --> 00:26:06.360
 believed

00:26:06.360 --> 00:26:06.860
 in

00:26:06.860 --> 00:26:07.080
 his

00:26:07.080 --> 00:26:07.500
 name,

00:26:07.760 --> 00:26:07.980
 he

00:26:07.980 --> 00:26:08.300
 gave

00:26:08.300 --> 00:26:08.540
 the

00:26:08.540 --> 00:26:08.920
 right

00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:09.260
 to

00:26:09.260 --> 00:26:10.300
 become

00:26:10.300 --> 00:26:11.060
 children

00:26:11.060 --> 00:26:11.340
 of

00:26:11.340 --> 00:26:11.560
 God.

00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:12.320
 So

00:26:12.320 --> 00:26:12.500
 what

00:26:12.500 --> 00:26:12.680
 does

00:26:12.680 --> 00:26:12.840
 it

00:26:12.840 --> 00:26:13.280
 mean

00:26:13.280 --> 00:26:14.120
 to

00:26:14.120 --> 00:26:14.940
 receive

00:26:14.940 --> 00:26:15.820
 Jesus?

00:26:16.620 --> 00:26:16.940
 What

00:26:16.940 --> 00:26:17.080
 does

00:26:17.080 --> 00:26:17.240
 it

00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:17.440
 mean

00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:17.680
 to

00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:18.600
 receive

00:26:18.600 --> 00:26:19.420
 Christ

00:26:19.420 --> 00:26:20.040
 as

00:26:20.040 --> 00:26:20.240
 your

00:26:20.240 --> 00:26:20.640
 Lord

00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:20.900
 and

00:26:20.900 --> 00:26:21.120
 Savior?

00:26:21.320 --> 00:26:21.460
 I

00:26:21.460 --> 00:26:21.560
 think

00:26:21.560 --> 00:26:21.680
 this

00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:21.800
 is

00:26:21.800 --> 00:26:21.940
 an

00:26:21.940 --> 00:26:22.300
 important

00:26:22.300 --> 00:26:22.820
 thing

00:26:22.820 --> 00:26:23.020
 for

00:26:23.020 --> 00:26:23.240
 us.

00:26:23.340 --> 00:26:23.460
 It's

00:26:23.460 --> 00:26:23.800
 a

00:26:23.800 --> 00:26:24.220
 phrase

00:26:24.220 --> 00:26:24.460
 that

00:26:24.460 --> 00:26:24.680
 we

00:26:24.680 --> 00:26:25.100
 use

00:26:25.100 --> 00:26:25.700
 often.

00:26:25.980 --> 00:26:26.140
 So

00:26:26.140 --> 00:26:26.420
 let's

00:26:26.420 --> 00:26:26.940
 talk

00:26:26.940 --> 00:26:27.160
 about

00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:27.500
 this.

00:26:27.800 --> 00:26:27.920
 To

00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:28.540
 receive

00:26:28.540 --> 00:26:28.940
 Jesus.

00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:29.400
 When

00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:29.720
 Jesus

00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:30.240
 offers

00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:30.560
 himself

00:26:30.560 --> 00:26:30.860
 to

00:26:30.860 --> 00:26:31.080
 you,

00:26:31.360 --> 00:26:31.500
 you

00:26:31.500 --> 00:26:32.260
 welcome

00:26:32.260 --> 00:26:32.880
 him

00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:33.240
 and

00:26:33.240 --> 00:26:33.420
 you

00:26:33.420 --> 00:26:33.840
 welcome

00:26:33.840 --> 00:26:34.100
 him

00:26:34.100 --> 00:26:34.420
 for

00:26:34.420 --> 00:26:34.660
 who

00:26:34.660 --> 00:26:34.880
 he

00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:35.320
 is

00:26:35.320 --> 00:26:35.880
 and

00:26:35.880 --> 00:26:36.100
 not

00:26:36.100 --> 00:26:36.260
 who

00:26:36.260 --> 00:26:36.420
 you

00:26:36.420 --> 00:26:36.660
 want

00:26:36.660 --> 00:26:36.820
 him

00:26:36.820 --> 00:26:36.940
 to

00:26:36.940 --> 00:26:37.120
 be.

00:26:37.860 --> 00:26:38.080
 So

00:26:38.080 --> 00:26:38.260
 when

00:26:38.260 --> 00:26:38.560
 Jesus

00:26:38.560 --> 00:26:38.860
 says

00:26:38.860 --> 00:26:39.240
 I'm

00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:39.740
 your

00:26:39.740 --> 00:26:40.440
 savior,

00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:41.160
 you

00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:41.640
 welcome

00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:41.900
 his

00:26:41.900 --> 00:26:42.340
 salvation

00:26:42.340 --> 00:26:42.600
 of

00:26:42.600 --> 00:26:42.940
 grace.

00:26:43.240 --> 00:26:43.440
 When

00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:43.620
 he

00:26:43.620 --> 00:26:43.860
 says

00:26:43.860 --> 00:26:44.040
 that

00:26:44.040 --> 00:26:44.440
 he

00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:44.620
 is

00:26:44.620 --> 00:26:44.780

00:26:58.420 --> 00:26:58.620
 When

00:26:58.620 --> 00:26:58.920
 Jesus

00:26:58.920 --> 00:26:59.220
 says

00:27:03.080 --> 00:27:03.680

00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:04.120
 When

00:27:04.120 --> 00:27:04.440
 Jesus

00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:04.760
 says

00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:07.800
 his

00:27:07.800 --> 00:27:08.440

00:27:08.780 --> 00:27:08.920
 When

00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:09.220
 Jesus

00:27:09.220 --> 00:27:09.540
 says

00:27:09.540 --> 00:27:09.700
 he

00:27:09.700 --> 00:27:09.900
 is

00:27:09.900 --> 00:27:10.080
 your

00:27:10.080 --> 00:27:10.500
 king,

00:27:10.840 --> 00:27:10.960
 you

00:27:13.040 --> 00:27:13.560
 rule

00:27:13.560 --> 00:27:14.120
 in

00:27:14.120 --> 00:27:14.580
 your

00:27:14.580 --> 00:27:15.220
 life.

00:27:16.060 --> 00:27:16.600
 Not

00:27:16.600 --> 00:27:17.040
 based

00:27:17.040 --> 00:27:17.620
 on or

00:27:17.620 --> 00:27:18.080
 determining

00:27:18.080 --> 00:27:18.640
 what we

00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:19.180
 want it

00:27:19.180 --> 00:27:20.000
 to be,

00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:20.920
 our

00:27:20.920 --> 00:27:21.580
 interpretation

00:27:21.580 --> 00:27:22.400
 of it,

00:27:22.860 --> 00:27:23.280
 but who

00:27:23.280 --> 00:27:23.720
 Jesus

00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:24.820
 is.

00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:25.640
 You

00:27:25.640 --> 00:27:25.820
 see,

00:27:25.940 --> 00:27:26.100
 it's

00:27:26.100 --> 00:27:26.520
 not that

00:27:26.520 --> 00:27:26.700
 you

00:27:26.700 --> 00:27:27.060
 just

00:27:27.060 --> 00:27:27.500
 receive

00:27:27.500 --> 00:27:28.020
 salvation.

00:27:29.360 --> 00:27:29.960
 It's

00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:30.100
 that

00:27:30.100 --> 00:27:30.240
 you

00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:30.600
 receive

00:27:30.600 --> 00:27:31.080
 Christ

00:27:31.080 --> 00:27:32.400
 and

00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:32.520
 you

00:27:32.520 --> 00:27:32.980
 receive

00:27:32.980 --> 00:27:33.360
 him

00:27:33.360 --> 00:27:34.460
 in

00:27:34.460 --> 00:27:34.700
 his

00:27:34.700 --> 00:27:35.180
 rule

00:27:35.180 --> 00:27:36.020
 and

00:27:36.020 --> 00:27:36.520
 reign

00:27:36.520 --> 00:27:37.160
 in

00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:37.320
 our

00:27:37.320 --> 00:27:37.720
 life.

00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:38.540
 You

00:27:38.540 --> 00:27:38.660
 see,

00:27:38.760 --> 00:27:38.820
 there

00:27:38.820 --> 00:27:39.100
 is

00:27:39.100 --> 00:27:39.320
 no

00:27:39.320 --> 00:27:39.480
 I

00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:39.660
 just

00:27:39.660 --> 00:27:39.900
 want

00:27:39.900 --> 00:27:40.080
 the

00:27:40.080 --> 00:27:40.520
 get

00:27:40.520 --> 00:27:40.720
 out

00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:40.820
 of

00:27:40.820 --> 00:27:41.000
 hell

00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:41.300
 free

00:27:41.300 --> 00:27:41.680
 card.

00:27:41.820 --> 00:27:42.060
 That

00:27:42.060 --> 00:27:42.400
 doesn't

00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:42.920
 exist.

00:27:43.160 --> 00:27:43.300
 What

00:27:43.300 --> 00:27:43.420
 I

00:27:43.420 --> 00:27:43.800
 want

00:27:43.800 --> 00:27:44.020
 is

00:27:44.020 --> 00:27:44.520
 Jesus

00:27:44.520 --> 00:27:46.180
 and

00:27:46.180 --> 00:27:46.340
 I

00:27:46.340 --> 00:27:46.760
 receive

00:27:46.760 --> 00:27:47.240
 him

00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:48.080
 and

00:27:48.080 --> 00:27:48.420
 his

00:27:48.420 --> 00:27:49.180
 rule.

00:27:49.700 --> 00:27:49.900
 But

00:27:49.900 --> 00:27:50.060
 then

00:27:50.060 --> 00:27:50.400
 also

00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:50.700
 he

00:27:50.700 --> 00:27:51.160
 says

00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:51.360
 that

00:27:51.360 --> 00:27:51.600
 we

00:27:51.600 --> 00:27:52.240
 believe.

00:27:52.740 --> 00:27:52.940
 That

00:27:52.940 --> 00:27:53.060
 we

00:27:53.060 --> 00:27:53.500
 believe.

00:27:54.100 --> 00:27:54.360
 Now

00:27:54.360 --> 00:27:54.540
 what

00:27:54.540 --> 00:27:54.620
 does

00:27:54.620 --> 00:27:54.740
 it

00:27:54.740 --> 00:27:54.900
 mean

00:27:54.900 --> 00:27:55.080
 to

00:27:55.080 --> 00:27:55.520
 believe?

00:27:56.220 --> 00:27:56.360
 Well

00:27:56.360 --> 00:27:56.580
 for

00:27:56.580 --> 00:27:57.340
 us

00:27:57.340 --> 00:27:57.840
 believing

00:27:57.840 --> 00:27:58.100
 is

00:27:58.420 --> 00:27:58.780
 merely

00:27:58.780 --> 00:27:59.020
 an

00:27:59.020 --> 00:27:59.480
 intellectual

00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:00.160
 agreement

00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:00.560
 to

00:28:00.560 --> 00:28:00.740
 the

00:28:00.740 --> 00:28:01.020
 truth

00:28:01.020 --> 00:28:01.200
 that

00:28:01.200 --> 00:28:01.480
 Jesus

00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:01.740
 is

00:28:01.740 --> 00:28:01.920
 the

00:28:01.920 --> 00:28:02.100
 son

00:28:02.100 --> 00:28:02.260
 of

00:28:02.260 --> 00:28:02.520
 God.

00:28:02.860 --> 00:28:03.200
 Demons

00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:03.580
 believe

00:28:03.580 --> 00:28:03.820
 that.

00:28:04.100 --> 00:28:04.280
 No

00:28:04.280 --> 00:28:04.540
 one

00:28:04.540 --> 00:28:04.940
 knows

00:28:04.940 --> 00:28:05.260
 who

00:28:05.260 --> 00:28:05.680
 Jesus

00:28:05.680 --> 00:28:06.020
 is

00:28:06.020 --> 00:28:06.320
 more

00:28:06.320 --> 00:28:06.580
 than

00:28:06.580 --> 00:28:06.920
 Satan.

00:28:07.620 --> 00:28:07.860
 He

00:28:07.860 --> 00:28:08.360
 knows

00:28:08.360 --> 00:28:08.600
 and

00:28:08.600 --> 00:28:09.340
 understands

00:28:09.340 --> 00:28:09.780
 and

00:28:09.780 --> 00:28:10.440
 believes

00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:10.920
 in

00:28:10.920 --> 00:28:11.540
 those

00:28:11.540 --> 00:28:12.200
 aspects

00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:12.460
 of

00:28:12.460 --> 00:28:12.700
 him.

00:28:12.860 --> 00:28:13.140
 But

00:28:13.140 --> 00:28:13.780
 believing

00:28:13.780 --> 00:28:14.320
 in

00:28:14.320 --> 00:28:14.640
 our

00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:15.380
 mind

00:28:15.380 --> 00:28:15.840
 that

00:28:15.840 --> 00:28:16.540
 aligns

00:28:16.540 --> 00:28:16.740
 with

00:28:16.740 --> 00:28:16.980
 the

00:28:16.980 --> 00:28:17.480
 surrender

00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:18.000
 of

00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:18.180
 our

00:28:18.180 --> 00:28:18.640
 heart

00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:19.240
 so

00:28:19.240 --> 00:28:19.400
 that

00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:19.560
 we

00:28:19.560 --> 00:28:19.900
 no

00:28:19.900 --> 00:28:20.320
 longer

00:28:20.320 --> 00:28:20.940
 live

00:28:20.940 --> 00:28:21.300
 for

00:28:21.300 --> 00:28:21.680
 our

00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:22.100
 praise

00:28:22.100 --> 00:28:22.380
 for

00:28:22.380 --> 00:28:22.720
 our

00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:23.120
 glory

00:28:23.120 --> 00:28:23.320
 and

00:28:23.320 --> 00:28:23.500
 for

00:28:23.500 --> 00:28:23.800
 our

00:28:23.800 --> 00:28:24.080
 name

00:28:24.080 --> 00:28:24.440
 but

00:28:24.440 --> 00:28:24.640
 for

00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:24.900
 his.

00:28:24.900 --> 00:28:25.620
 That's

00:28:25.620 --> 00:28:25.820
 the

00:28:25.820 --> 00:28:26.140
 depth

00:28:26.140 --> 00:28:26.440
 of

00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:26.840
 belief

00:28:26.840 --> 00:28:28.700
 that

00:28:28.700 --> 00:28:28.940
 this

00:28:28.940 --> 00:28:29.560
 believing

00:28:29.560 --> 00:28:30.640
 has

00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:31.560
 transformed

00:28:31.560 --> 00:28:32.540
 who

00:28:32.540 --> 00:28:32.760
 I

00:28:32.760 --> 00:28:33.140
 am

00:28:33.140 --> 00:28:33.600
 in

00:28:33.600 --> 00:28:33.800
 my

00:28:33.800 --> 00:28:34.240
 action

00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:34.520
 so

00:28:34.520 --> 00:28:34.740
 that

00:28:34.740 --> 00:28:35.000
 in

00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:35.280
 this

00:28:35.280 --> 00:28:35.760
 we

00:28:35.760 --> 00:28:36.300
 become

00:28:36.300 --> 00:28:38.120
 children

00:28:38.120 --> 00:28:38.860
 of

00:28:38.860 --> 00:28:39.200
 God.

00:28:40.040 --> 00:28:40.520
 I'll never

00:28:40.520 --> 00:28:40.720
 forget,

00:28:40.780 --> 00:28:41.000
 some of you

00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:41.220
 have heard

00:28:41.220 --> 00:28:41.400
 of this

00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:41.560
 guy,

00:28:41.620 --> 00:28:41.720
 a guy

00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:41.860
 named

00:28:41.860 --> 00:28:42.220
 Francis

00:28:42.220 --> 00:28:42.540
 Chan.

00:28:43.260 --> 00:28:43.480
 And this

00:28:43.480 --> 00:28:43.640
 was

00:28:43.640 --> 00:28:44.000
 a

00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:44.660
 long

00:28:44.660 --> 00:28:44.940
 time

00:28:44.940 --> 00:28:45.220
 ago.

00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:45.640
 Like

00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:46.300
 pre,

00:28:46.660 --> 00:28:47.100
 Aaron

00:28:47.100 --> 00:28:47.380
 and I

00:28:47.380 --> 00:28:47.540
 were

00:28:47.540 --> 00:28:48.020
 married

00:28:48.020 --> 00:28:48.200
 but

00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:49.260
 freshly

00:28:49.260 --> 00:28:49.800
 newly

00:28:49.800 --> 00:28:50.360
 married,

00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:50.740
 no

00:28:50.740 --> 00:28:51.060
 kids.

00:28:51.320 --> 00:28:51.540
 And we

00:28:51.540 --> 00:28:51.940
 were out

00:28:51.940 --> 00:28:52.180
 at a

00:28:52.180 --> 00:28:52.540
 conference

00:28:52.540 --> 00:28:53.120
 in Atlanta,

00:28:53.260 --> 00:28:53.520
 Georgia,

00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:54.080
 and we

00:28:54.080 --> 00:28:54.560
 had this

00:28:54.560 --> 00:28:55.080
 guy Francis

00:28:55.080 --> 00:28:55.420
 Chan

00:28:55.420 --> 00:28:55.740
 that was

00:28:55.740 --> 00:28:56.240
 speaking

00:28:56.240 --> 00:28:56.660
 to a

00:28:56.660 --> 00:28:56.860
 group

00:28:56.860 --> 00:28:57.200
 of us.

00:28:57.500 --> 00:28:57.820
 And he

00:28:57.820 --> 00:28:58.180
 got there

00:28:58.180 --> 00:28:58.500
 on stage

00:28:58.500 --> 00:28:58.640
 and I

00:28:58.640 --> 00:28:58.880
 have a

00:28:58.880 --> 00:28:59.100
 clue

00:28:59.100 --> 00:28:59.400
 who he

00:28:59.400 --> 00:28:59.660
 was

00:28:59.660 --> 00:29:00.140
 but I'll

00:29:00.140 --> 00:29:00.300
 never

00:29:00.300 --> 00:29:00.660
 forget

00:29:00.660 --> 00:29:00.860
 his

00:29:00.860 --> 00:29:01.180
 message

00:29:01.180 --> 00:29:01.620
 because

00:29:01.620 --> 00:29:01.780
 he

00:29:01.780 --> 00:29:02.060
 talked

00:29:02.060 --> 00:29:02.280
 about

00:29:02.280 --> 00:29:02.800
 rights.

00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:04.240
 And he

00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:04.380
 says

00:29:04.380 --> 00:29:04.700
 we

00:29:04.700 --> 00:29:05.040
 as

00:29:05.040 --> 00:29:05.420
 followers

00:29:05.420 --> 00:29:05.640
 of

00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:06.020
 Christ

00:29:06.020 --> 00:29:06.460
 are

00:29:06.460 --> 00:29:07.100
 guaranteed

00:29:07.100 --> 00:29:07.720
 two

00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:08.200
 rights.

00:29:09.080 --> 00:29:09.440
 Two

00:29:09.440 --> 00:29:09.880
 rights.

00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:10.980
 He

00:29:10.980 --> 00:29:11.120
 said

00:29:11.120 --> 00:29:11.300
 number

00:29:11.300 --> 00:29:11.740
 one

00:29:11.740 --> 00:29:12.500
 we

00:29:12.500 --> 00:29:12.640
 have

00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:12.780
 the

00:29:12.780 --> 00:29:12.960
 right

00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:13.140
 to

00:29:13.140 --> 00:29:13.440
 suffer.

00:29:14.080 --> 00:29:14.440
 And he

00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:14.800
 preached

00:29:14.800 --> 00:29:15.100
 through

00:29:15.100 --> 00:29:15.620
 that

00:29:15.620 --> 00:29:16.120
 for us.

00:29:16.660 --> 00:29:17.000
 And then

00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:17.140
 he

00:29:17.140 --> 00:29:17.420
 jumped

00:29:17.420 --> 00:29:17.660
 right

00:29:17.660 --> 00:29:17.940
 here

00:29:17.940 --> 00:29:18.180
 to

00:29:18.180 --> 00:29:18.760
 John

00:29:18.760 --> 00:29:19.160
 chapter

00:29:19.160 --> 00:29:19.880
 one

00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:20.460
 and he

00:29:20.460 --> 00:29:20.600
 said

00:29:20.600 --> 00:29:20.720
 we

00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:20.840
 have

00:29:20.840 --> 00:29:21.000
 a

00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:21.320
 right

00:29:21.320 --> 00:29:21.680
 to

00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:21.880
 be

00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:22.400
 called

00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:23.100
 children

00:29:23.100 --> 00:29:23.640
 of

00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:23.980
 God

00:29:23.980 --> 00:29:25.060
 because

00:29:25.060 --> 00:29:25.720
 that's

00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:26.040
 who

00:29:26.040 --> 00:29:26.260
 we

00:29:26.260 --> 00:29:26.620
 are.

00:29:27.020 --> 00:29:27.260
 That

00:29:27.260 --> 00:29:27.380
 when

00:29:27.380 --> 00:29:27.580
 we

00:29:27.580 --> 00:29:28.200
 receive

00:29:28.200 --> 00:29:29.060
 and

00:29:29.060 --> 00:29:29.220
 when

00:29:29.220 --> 00:29:29.400
 we

00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:30.000
 believe

00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:30.560
 that

00:29:30.560 --> 00:29:30.720
 we

00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:31.300
 become

00:29:31.300 --> 00:29:32.340
 and

00:29:32.340 --> 00:29:32.460
 that

00:29:32.460 --> 00:29:32.580
 we

00:29:32.580 --> 00:29:33.160
 become

00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:33.760
 a

00:29:33.760 --> 00:29:34.100
 part

00:29:34.100 --> 00:29:34.560
 of

00:29:34.560 --> 00:29:34.780
 his

00:29:34.780 --> 00:29:35.600
 family

00:29:35.600 --> 00:29:36.800
 because

00:29:36.800 --> 00:29:37.000
 of

00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:37.160
 who

00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:37.380
 he

00:29:37.380 --> 00:29:37.740
 is

00:29:37.740 --> 00:29:38.780
 and

00:29:38.780 --> 00:29:39.000
 because

00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:39.160
 of

00:29:39.160 --> 00:29:39.340
 what

00:29:39.340 --> 00:29:39.560
 he's

00:29:39.560 --> 00:29:39.800
 done.

00:29:41.140 --> 00:29:41.300
 And

00:29:41.300 --> 00:29:41.440
 then

00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:41.860
 lastly

00:29:41.860 --> 00:29:42.100
 in

00:29:42.100 --> 00:29:42.280
 verse

00:29:42.280 --> 00:29:42.760
 14

00:29:42.760 --> 00:29:44.980
 it

00:29:44.980 --> 00:29:45.140
 says

00:29:45.140 --> 00:29:45.260
 and

00:29:45.260 --> 00:29:45.380
 the

00:29:45.380 --> 00:29:45.640
 word

00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:46.000
 became

00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:46.540
 flesh

00:29:46.540 --> 00:29:47.880
 and

00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:48.120
 dwelt

00:29:48.120 --> 00:29:48.340
 among

00:29:48.340 --> 00:29:48.800
 us

00:29:48.800 --> 00:29:49.920
 and

00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:50.060
 we

00:29:50.060 --> 00:29:50.200
 have

00:29:50.200 --> 00:29:50.520
 seen

00:29:50.520 --> 00:29:50.740
 his

00:29:50.740 --> 00:29:51.220
 glory

00:29:51.220 --> 00:29:52.460
 glory

00:29:52.460 --> 00:29:52.780
 as

00:29:52.780 --> 00:29:53.100
 of

00:29:53.100 --> 00:29:53.280
 the

00:29:53.280 --> 00:29:53.620
 only

00:29:53.620 --> 00:29:54.120
 son

00:29:54.120 --> 00:29:54.900
 from

00:29:54.900 --> 00:29:55.060
 the

00:29:55.060 --> 00:29:55.420
 father

00:29:55.420 --> 00:29:56.380
 full

00:29:56.380 --> 00:29:56.640
 of

00:29:56.640 --> 00:29:57.120
 grace

00:29:57.120 --> 00:29:57.740
 and

00:29:57.740 --> 00:29:58.080
 truth.

00:29:58.840 --> 00:29:59.020
 And

00:29:59.020 --> 00:29:59.220
 that's

00:29:59.220 --> 00:29:59.400
 why

00:29:59.400 --> 00:29:59.600
 we

00:29:59.600 --> 00:30:00.100
 celebrate

00:30:00.100 --> 00:30:01.540
 this

00:30:01.540 --> 00:30:01.980
 season.

00:30:03.020 --> 00:30:03.160
 That's

00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:03.220
 why

00:30:03.220 --> 00:30:03.300
 we

00:30:03.300 --> 00:30:03.380
 put

00:30:03.380 --> 00:30:03.500
 up

00:30:03.500 --> 00:30:03.760
 Christmas

00:30:03.760 --> 00:30:04.140
 trees

00:30:04.140 --> 00:30:04.320
 in

00:30:04.320 --> 00:30:04.440
 our

00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:04.780
 house.

00:30:05.780 --> 00:30:05.980
 That's

00:30:05.980 --> 00:30:06.120
 why

00:30:06.120 --> 00:30:06.260
 we

00:30:06.260 --> 00:30:06.440
 put

00:30:06.440 --> 00:30:07.100
 nativity

00:30:07.100 --> 00:30:07.560
 scenes

00:30:07.560 --> 00:30:07.900
 out.

00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:09.080
 That's

00:30:09.080 --> 00:30:09.140
 why

00:30:09.140 --> 00:30:09.260
 we

00:30:09.260 --> 00:30:09.420
 get

00:30:09.420 --> 00:30:09.580
 up

00:30:09.580 --> 00:30:09.700
 and

00:30:09.700 --> 00:30:09.860
 put

00:30:09.860 --> 00:30:10.300
 lights

00:30:10.300 --> 00:30:10.460
 on

00:30:10.460 --> 00:30:10.620
 the

00:30:10.620 --> 00:30:10.960
 front

00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:11.060
 of

00:30:11.060 --> 00:30:11.200
 our

00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:11.560
 homes

00:30:11.560 --> 00:30:11.720
 and

00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:11.980
 hang

00:30:11.980 --> 00:30:12.660
 reeds

00:30:12.660 --> 00:30:12.820
 on

00:30:12.820 --> 00:30:12.960
 our

00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:13.260
 door.

00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:14.700
 It's

00:30:14.700 --> 00:30:14.820
 why

00:30:14.820 --> 00:30:14.980
 we

00:30:14.980 --> 00:30:15.220
 do

00:30:15.220 --> 00:30:15.460
 and

00:30:15.460 --> 00:30:15.840
 celebrate

00:30:15.840 --> 00:30:16.140
 all

00:30:16.140 --> 00:30:16.300
 that

00:30:16.300 --> 00:30:16.440
 we

00:30:16.440 --> 00:30:16.740
 have.

00:30:16.740 --> 00:30:16.900
 It's

00:30:16.900 --> 00:30:17.040
 why

00:30:17.040 --> 00:30:17.200
 we

00:30:17.200 --> 00:30:17.660
 place

00:30:17.660 --> 00:30:18.240
 packages

00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:18.880
 under

00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:19.400
 the tree

00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:20.080
 for us

00:30:20.080 --> 00:30:20.300
 as

00:32:27.100 --> 00:32:27.740
 that

00:32:27.740 --> 00:32:28.140
 punishment

00:32:28.140 --> 00:32:29.660
 he

00:32:29.660 --> 00:32:29.800
 would

 be

00:32:29.940 --> 00:32:30.260
 beaten

00:32:30.260 --> 00:32:30.440
 he

00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:30.600
 would

00:32:30.600 --> 00:32:30.740
 be

00:32:30.740 --> 00:32:31.160
 mocked

00:32:31.160 --> 00:32:31.260
 he

00:32:31.260 --> 00:32:31.360
 would

00:32:31.360 --> 00:32:31.560
 be

00:32:31.560 --> 00:32:32.180
 stripped

00:32:32.180 --> 00:32:32.620
 naked

00:32:32.620 --> 00:32:33.980
 he

00:32:33.980 --> 00:32:34.080
 would

00:32:34.080 --> 00:32:34.200
 be

00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:34.380
 hung

00:32:34.380 --> 00:32:34.580
 on a

00:32:34.580 --> 00:32:35.020
 cross

00:32:35.020 --> 00:32:35.200
 in

00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:35.700
 between

00:32:35.700 --> 00:32:36.200
 two

00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:36.860
 criminals

00:32:36.860 --> 00:32:38.160
 he

00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:38.280
 would

00:32:38.280 --> 00:32:38.380
 have

00:32:38.380 --> 00:32:38.500
 a

00:32:38.500 --> 00:32:38.800
 spike

00:32:38.800 --> 00:32:39.120
 ran

00:32:39.120 --> 00:32:39.340
 through

00:32:39.340 --> 00:32:39.560
 his

00:32:39.560 --> 00:32:40.100
 feet

00:32:40.100 --> 00:32:40.280
 and

00:32:40.280 --> 00:32:40.500
 one

00:32:40.500 --> 00:32:40.800
 through

00:32:40.800 --> 00:32:41.180
 each

00:32:41.180 --> 00:32:41.580
 wrist

00:32:41.580 --> 00:32:41.720
 and

00:32:41.720 --> 00:32:41.840
 he

00:32:41.840 --> 00:32:41.860
 would

00:32:41.860 --> 00:32:41.980
 be

00:32:41.980 --> 00:32:42.480
 hung

00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:42.860
 on

00:32:42.860 --> 00:32:43.140
 a

00:32:43.140 --> 00:32:43.620
 cross

00:32:43.620 --> 00:32:43.800
 and

00:32:43.800 --> 00:32:44.340
 left

00:32:44.340 --> 00:32:44.620
 there

00:32:44.620 --> 00:32:45.000
 to

00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:45.380
 die

00:32:45.380 --> 00:32:45.640
 where

00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:46.040
 his

00:32:46.040 --> 00:32:46.680
 organs

00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:46.900
 would

00:32:46.900 --> 00:32:47.220
 begin

00:32:47.220 --> 00:32:47.420
 to

00:32:47.420 --> 00:32:47.880
 shut

00:32:47.880 --> 00:32:48.240
 down

00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:48.520
 because

00:32:48.520 --> 00:32:48.700
 of

00:32:48.700 --> 00:32:48.860
 the

00:32:48.860 --> 00:32:49.220
 trauma

00:32:49.220 --> 00:32:49.500
 that

00:32:49.500 --> 00:32:49.660
 would

00:32:49.660 --> 00:32:49.800
 be

00:32:49.800 --> 00:32:50.420
 experienced

00:32:50.420 --> 00:32:50.880
 in

00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:51.280
 his

00:32:51.280 --> 00:32:51.880
 death

00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:52.020
 and

00:32:52.020 --> 00:32:52.160
 in

00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:52.360
 his

00:32:52.360 --> 00:32:53.520
 crucifixion

00:32:53.520 --> 00:32:55.680
 and

00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:55.760
 he

00:32:55.760 --> 00:32:55.900
 would

00:32:55.900 --> 00:32:56.180
 cry

00:32:56.180 --> 00:32:56.580
 out

00:32:56.580 --> 00:32:58.180
 and

00:32:58.180 --> 00:32:58.400
 death

00:32:58.400 --> 00:32:58.580
 would

00:32:58.580 --> 00:32:58.900
 come

00:32:58.900 --> 00:33:01.320
 but

00:33:01.320 --> 00:33:01.440
 then

00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:01.620
 three

00:33:01.620 --> 00:33:01.880
 days

00:33:01.880 --> 00:33:02.220
 later

00:33:02.220 --> 00:33:03.820
 three

00:33:03.820 --> 00:33:04.180
 days

00:33:04.180 --> 00:33:04.520
 later

00:33:04.520 --> 00:33:04.660
 in

00:33:04.660 --> 00:33:04.800
 a

00:33:04.800 --> 00:33:05.200
 miracle

00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:05.540
 only

00:33:05.540 --> 00:33:05.720
 could

00:33:05.720 --> 00:33:06.280
 happen

00:33:06.280 --> 00:33:06.440
 in

00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:06.580
 the

00:33:06.580 --> 00:33:06.860
 work

00:33:06.860 --> 00:33:06.980
 and

00:33:06.980 --> 00:33:07.120
 the

00:33:07.120 --> 00:33:07.440
 power

00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:07.660
 of

00:33:07.660 --> 00:33:07.960
 God

00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:09.200
 the

00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:09.620
 lungs

00:33:09.620 --> 00:33:09.900
 which

00:33:09.900 --> 00:33:10.120
 no

00:33:10.120 --> 00:33:10.420
 longer

00:33:10.420 --> 00:33:11.160
 worked

00:33:11.160 --> 00:33:12.300
 the

00:33:12.300 --> 00:33:12.700
 heart

00:33:12.700 --> 00:33:12.960
 which

00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:13.220
 no

00:33:13.220 --> 00:33:13.560
 longer

00:33:13.560 --> 00:33:14.120
 would

00:33:14.120 --> 00:33:14.460
 beat

00:33:14.460 --> 00:33:15.520
 the

00:33:15.520 --> 00:33:15.880
 body

00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:16.160
 which

00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:16.380
 would

00:33:16.380 --> 00:33:16.500
 have

00:33:16.500 --> 00:33:16.860
 become

00:33:16.860 --> 00:33:17.300
 filled

00:33:17.300 --> 00:33:17.520
 with

00:33:17.520 --> 00:33:17.960
 decay

00:33:17.960 --> 00:33:19.400
 would

00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:19.680
 begin

00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:19.900
 to

00:33:19.900 --> 00:33:20.340
 pump

00:33:20.340 --> 00:33:20.800
 life

00:33:20.800 --> 00:33:21.660
 again

00:33:21.660 --> 00:33:23.500
 and

00:33:23.500 --> 00:33:23.900
 Jesus

00:33:23.900 --> 00:33:24.220
 not

00:33:24.220 --> 00:33:24.500
 as a

00:33:24.500 --> 00:33:24.780
 figment

00:33:24.780 --> 00:33:24.920
 of

00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:25.520
 imagination

00:33:25.520 --> 00:33:26.200
 or an

00:33:26.200 --> 00:33:26.580
 illusion

00:33:26.580 --> 00:33:27.020
 but

00:33:27.020 --> 00:33:27.180
 the

00:33:27.180 --> 00:33:27.480
 physical

00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:27.860
 body

00:33:27.860 --> 00:33:28.260
 of

00:33:28.260 --> 00:33:28.820
 Christ

00:33:28.820 --> 00:33:29.560
 would

00:33:29.560 --> 00:33:29.760
 come

00:33:29.760 --> 00:33:29.920
 out

00:33:29.920 --> 00:33:30.020
 of

00:33:30.020 --> 00:33:30.140
 the

00:33:30.140 --> 00:33:30.380
 tomb

00:33:30.380 --> 00:33:32.040
 and

00:33:32.040 --> 00:33:32.200
 would

00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:32.600
 walk

00:33:32.600 --> 00:33:33.740
 and

00:33:33.740 --> 00:33:33.900
 would

00:33:33.900 --> 00:33:34.320
 minister

00:33:34.320 --> 00:33:35.500
 and

00:33:35.500 --> 00:33:35.660
 would

00:33:35.660 --> 00:33:35.840
 share

00:33:35.840 --> 00:33:36.120
 hope

00:33:36.120 --> 00:33:37.900
 and

00:33:37.900 --> 00:33:38.040
 when

00:33:38.040 --> 00:33:38.180
 we

00:33:38.180 --> 00:33:38.520
 read

00:33:38.520 --> 00:33:38.840
 this

00:33:38.840 --> 00:33:39.400
 verse

00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:41.160
 so

00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:41.640
 often

00:33:41.640 --> 00:33:41.980
 I've

00:33:41.980 --> 00:33:42.160
 read

00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:42.420
 this

00:33:42.420 --> 00:33:42.760
 verse

00:33:42.760 --> 00:33:42.900
 and

00:33:42.900 --> 00:33:43.020
 it

00:33:43.020 --> 00:33:43.380
 reminds

00:33:43.380 --> 00:33:43.540
 me

00:33:43.540 --> 00:33:43.680
 of

00:33:43.680 --> 00:33:44.040
 Christmas

00:33:44.040 --> 00:33:45.880
 and

00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:46.020
 the

00:33:46.020 --> 00:33:46.240
 word

00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:46.580
 became

00:33:46.580 --> 00:33:47.160
 flesh

00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:48.560
 and

00:33:48.560 --> 00:33:48.980
 dwelt

00:33:48.980 --> 00:33:49.320
 among

00:33:49.320 --> 00:33:49.840
 us

00:33:49.840 --> 00:33:51.440
 but

00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:51.600
 while

00:33:51.600 --> 00:33:51.800
 this

00:33:51.800 --> 00:33:52.240
 reminds

00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:52.420
 us

00:33:52.420 --> 00:33:52.600
 this

00:33:52.600 --> 00:33:53.020
 Christmas

00:33:53.020 --> 00:33:54.560
 I

00:33:54.560 --> 00:33:54.720
 wanted

00:33:54.720 --> 00:33:54.880
 to

00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:55.140
 also

00:33:55.140 --> 00:33:55.540
 remind

00:33:55.540 --> 00:33:55.740
 us

00:33:55.740 --> 00:33:55.900
 of

00:33:55.900 --> 00:33:56.100
 the

00:33:56.100 --> 00:33:56.920
 crucifixion

00:33:56.920 --> 00:33:57.600
 and

00:33:57.600 --> 00:33:57.740
 the

00:33:57.740 --> 00:33:58.160
 resurrection

00:33:58.160 --> 00:33:58.440
 of

00:33:58.440 --> 00:33:58.800
 Christ

00:33:58.800 --> 00:34:00.140
 the

00:34:00.140 --> 00:34:00.640
 flesh

00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:00.900
 which

00:34:00.900 --> 00:34:01.060
 could

00:34:01.060 --> 00:34:01.240
 be

00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:01.760
 touched

00:34:01.760 --> 00:34:02.960
 the

00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:03.540
 experience

00:34:03.540 --> 00:34:03.760
 the

00:34:03.760 --> 00:34:04.220
 punishment

00:34:04.220 --> 00:34:04.500
 that

00:34:04.500 --> 00:34:04.660
 we

00:34:04.660 --> 00:34:05.180
 deserved

00:34:05.180 --> 00:34:07.160
 every

00:34:07.160 --> 00:34:07.460
 hit

00:34:07.460 --> 00:34:07.620
 that

00:34:07.620 --> 00:34:07.720
 he

00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:07.920
 took

00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:08.100
 with

00:34:08.100 --> 00:34:08.220
 the

00:34:08.220 --> 00:34:08.460
 whip

00:34:08.460 --> 00:34:08.700
 was

00:34:08.700 --> 00:34:08.920
 one

00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:09.120
 for

00:34:09.120 --> 00:34:09.420
 you

00:34:09.420 --> 00:34:10.520
 and

00:34:10.520 --> 00:34:10.700
 for

00:34:10.700 --> 00:34:10.980
 me

00:34:10.980 --> 00:34:12.380
 every

00:34:12.380 --> 00:34:12.800
 time

00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:13.000
 the

00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:13.240
 nail

00:34:13.240 --> 00:34:13.460
 went

00:34:13.460 --> 00:34:13.620
 through

00:34:13.620 --> 00:34:13.860
 his

00:34:13.860 --> 00:34:14.220
 feet

00:34:14.220 --> 00:34:15.260
 was

00:34:15.260 --> 00:34:15.460
 what

00:34:15.460 --> 00:34:15.700
 you

00:34:15.700 --> 00:34:16.220
 deserved
