00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.640
 Welcome to the Willow Ridge Sermons Podcast.

00:00:12.180 --> 00:00:14.080
 We're so glad you chose to listen today.

00:00:14.860 --> 00:00:18.360
 This week, we look at the shepherds' role in the Christmas story

00:00:18.360 --> 00:00:20.620
 and the powerful faith lessons they teach us.

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:22.980
 From the angels' announcement of good news

00:00:22.980 --> 00:00:25.060
 to their immediate response in seeking Jesus,

00:00:25.660 --> 00:00:28.020
 the shepherds exemplify obedience, joy,

00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:30.120
 and a willingness to share the gospel.

00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:33.660
 Join us as we explore the hope, peace, and salvation

00:00:33.660 --> 00:00:36.100
 brought to all people through the birth of Christ

00:00:36.100 --> 00:00:38.700
 and the shepherds' response to God's extraordinary gift.

00:00:39.400 --> 00:00:40.140
 Thanks for listening.

00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:53.200
 Hey, good morning.

00:00:54.180 --> 00:00:55.840
 It is a joy to be here.

00:00:55.900 --> 00:00:57.280
 If you have your Bible, and I hope you do,

00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:00.580
 I want to invite you to join us in Luke chapter 2

00:01:00.580 --> 00:01:01.700
 is where we will be this morning.

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.300
 One of the skills you develop as a pastor

00:01:07.300 --> 00:01:13.260
 is finding the tendencies of people.

00:01:15.720 --> 00:01:19.640
 One of those tendencies is where people sit.

00:01:20.860 --> 00:01:23.760
 I don't know if you know this or not, but most of you,

00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:28.600
 for the most part, you sit somewhat in the same general vicinity.

00:01:29.660 --> 00:01:31.240
 And then moments like this happen.

00:01:31.340 --> 00:01:32.480
 Let me kind of explain what I mean.

00:01:33.180 --> 00:01:36.380
 So typically, Mike C sits right there.

00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.420
 But this morning, Mike C is back there.

00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:44.320
 Every Sunday that we have our kids sing.

00:01:44.320 --> 00:01:47.600
 Don will say something like this to me.

00:01:48.320 --> 00:01:50.680
 Is it okay if we reserve a few rows?

00:01:51.940 --> 00:01:53.880
 And every Sunday I say,

00:01:54.660 --> 00:01:57.180
 we'll just have to apologize to Chris McPherson,

00:01:57.620 --> 00:02:01.180
 who always sits right here in the middle.

00:02:02.180 --> 00:02:03.460
 The kids cleared out.

00:02:03.900 --> 00:02:05.500
 The kids went to their classrooms.

00:02:05.820 --> 00:02:07.280
 Wonderful job, by the way,

00:02:07.460 --> 00:02:10.400
 for those kids and for Dawn and for Stephanie

00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:11.760
 and their leadership team.

00:02:12.900 --> 00:02:14.400
 And man, as soon as they were gone,

00:02:15.600 --> 00:02:16.820
 Chris got his seat.

00:02:18.480 --> 00:02:19.500
 And if you know Chris,

00:02:19.640 --> 00:02:22.520
 Chris really enjoys the spotlight being put on him.

00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:23.200
 Not at all.

00:02:24.060 --> 00:02:25.000
 And I told him, I was like,

00:02:25.040 --> 00:02:26.800
 you know I gotta say something about this, right?

00:02:26.940 --> 00:02:29.600
 So fair warning if you sit on the front row, right?

00:02:29.660 --> 00:02:31.220
 This is where we will be.

00:02:31.460 --> 00:02:32.820
 But it is such a joy.

00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:34.960
 And I just want to encourage you guys,

00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:36.760
 maybe you had a little one up here singing,

00:02:37.180 --> 00:02:38.120
 maybe you didn't.

00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:39.560
 As you leave today,

00:02:39.640 --> 00:02:43.160
 and as you see those kids out on the sidewalk

00:02:43.160 --> 00:02:45.460
 and moving from building two to their car

00:02:45.460 --> 00:02:46.680
 with their parents,

00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:49.220
 just tell them wonderful, wonderful job.

00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:53.300
 It's just so good and refreshing to see

00:02:53.300 --> 00:02:57.660
 of what the church is called to be and to do

00:02:57.660 --> 00:03:00.440
 is to make disciples of all nations,

00:03:00.640 --> 00:03:02.440
 to make disciples of all ages.

00:03:02.600 --> 00:03:05.160
 And I just really love the vision

00:03:05.160 --> 00:03:07.780
 behind our children's ministry program

00:03:07.780 --> 00:03:09.980
 as they are sharing the gospel

00:03:09.980 --> 00:03:14.060
 from as little as we can share the gospel with, right?

00:03:14.180 --> 00:03:15.580
 And continually doing that

00:03:15.580 --> 00:03:18.480
 and pouring in and investing in our kids.

00:03:18.620 --> 00:03:19.940
 And so well done, Dawn.

00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:21.280
 Thank you for your leadership.

00:03:21.700 --> 00:03:22.880
 And thank you for all of you

00:03:22.880 --> 00:03:24.820
 who serve in our kids' ministry.

00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:25.320
 Yeah, yeah.

00:03:25.380 --> 00:03:26.400
 Give them a round of applause.

00:03:26.540 --> 00:03:26.680
 Yeah.

00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:29.460
 Thank you all so much for doing that.

00:03:31.880 --> 00:03:32.600
 With that said,

00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:34.620
 there are these cards that are around

00:03:34.620 --> 00:03:35.960
 and we mentioned those,

00:03:36.020 --> 00:03:37.360
 but I know there was a lot of movement,

00:03:37.480 --> 00:03:38.600
 a lot of things happening

00:03:38.600 --> 00:03:40.520
 during the video announcement.

00:03:40.740 --> 00:03:43.660
 But we do have our December and January schedule.

00:03:43.660 --> 00:03:46.360
 There's some different things going on each Sunday.

00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:47.740
 And so you want to make sure

00:03:47.740 --> 00:03:49.360
 that you pay attention to that.

00:03:49.460 --> 00:03:51.380
 Next Sunday it's kind of become

00:03:51.380 --> 00:03:53.200
 a little bit of a tradition around here for us

00:03:53.200 --> 00:03:55.120
 and we really enjoy it.

00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:57.820
 We will have at 950 next week

00:03:57.820 --> 00:03:59.780
 a fellowship with some homemade goodies

00:03:59.780 --> 00:04:01.660
 that will be brought and will be put out there.

00:04:01.980 --> 00:04:03.060
 And so you'll want to make sure

00:04:03.060 --> 00:04:04.220
 that you get here early

00:04:04.220 --> 00:04:05.700
 and participate in that.

00:04:05.780 --> 00:04:08.740
 Next Sunday on Tuesday, December the 24th,

00:04:08.740 --> 00:04:11.400
 we will have our Christmas Eve service.

00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:13.000
 And that's always a wonderful time

00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:14.440
 for families to come together.

00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:16.400
 Everyone will be in here together

00:04:16.400 --> 00:04:17.700
 all worshiping Jesus.

00:04:17.840 --> 00:04:20.220
 We will take the Lord's Supper that evening

00:04:20.220 --> 00:04:22.720
 as the reminder of the very important day

00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:24.960
 that we have and of what's coming up.

00:04:25.200 --> 00:04:25.740
 But then also,

00:04:25.860 --> 00:04:26.820
 this is something we've done

00:04:26.820 --> 00:04:28.500
 that's been relatively new for us

00:04:28.500 --> 00:04:29.840
 the last several years.

00:04:29.980 --> 00:04:31.920
 It's on Sunday, December the 29th.

00:04:32.440 --> 00:04:34.560
 We will have everyone back in here again.

00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:35.940
 And at 950,

00:04:35.940 --> 00:04:37.300
 we'll be doing a full breakfast.

00:04:37.780 --> 00:04:39.940
 Grits, bacon, eggs, sausage, pancakes

00:04:39.940 --> 00:04:41.460
 will be brought in.

00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:42.880
 And it'll be a wonderful time

00:04:42.880 --> 00:04:45.180
 of just church fellowship together.

00:04:45.420 --> 00:04:46.300
 And then also,

00:04:46.520 --> 00:04:47.680
 the important part of what we do,

00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:48.880
 we will have a time of worship.

00:04:49.260 --> 00:04:50.800
 But instead of having a message,

00:04:51.060 --> 00:04:51.980
 we'll have a time together

00:04:51.980 --> 00:04:53.560
 where we come together as a church

00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.460
 to pray together for the upcoming year,

00:04:56.540 --> 00:04:58.120
 for all that God desires to do.

00:04:58.380 --> 00:04:59.700
 We'll pray for our missionaries.

00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:01.120
 We'll pray for our ministry partners.

00:05:01.400 --> 00:05:03.260
 We'll pray for our church.

00:05:03.340 --> 00:05:04.500
 We'll pray for our community.

00:05:04.700 --> 00:05:07.020
 Many, many different ways that we will pray.

00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:07.820
 And it's also,

00:05:07.960 --> 00:05:08.680
 I just want to encourage you,

00:05:08.740 --> 00:05:10.540
 it's a wonderful family event

00:05:10.540 --> 00:05:11.580
 and time to do that,

00:05:11.660 --> 00:05:13.420
 to place the importance

00:05:13.420 --> 00:05:14.640
 in the hearts of our kids,

00:05:15.020 --> 00:05:17.140
 the importance of what we're doing with prayer.

00:05:17.220 --> 00:05:18.080
 So you want to make sure

00:05:18.080 --> 00:05:19.420
 that you're a part of that.

00:05:19.540 --> 00:05:21.300
 And if you could help us, please,

00:05:21.580 --> 00:05:23.840
 we are having to order food ahead of time

00:05:23.840 --> 00:05:25.320
 so that we can make sure

00:05:25.320 --> 00:05:26.580
 that we have the right amount of food

00:05:26.580 --> 00:05:27.620
 for you guys.

00:05:27.840 --> 00:05:29.480
 Please scan this QR code

00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:30.560
 and that will get you registered

00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:32.360
 to get everything taken care of

00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:33.620
 for you for that morning.

00:05:34.080 --> 00:05:35.000
 And if you've got friends

00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:36.320
 and family that are in town,

00:05:36.700 --> 00:05:37.860
 please invite them.

00:05:37.940 --> 00:05:39.320
 We'd love to have them with us.

00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:40.060
 A lot of fun,

00:05:40.320 --> 00:05:41.620
 a lot of exciting things.

00:05:42.020 --> 00:05:42.660
 And this card,

00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:43.160
 take it,

00:05:43.220 --> 00:05:44.140
 put it on your refrigerator

00:05:44.140 --> 00:05:45.840
 will kind of help keep you

00:05:45.840 --> 00:05:47.140
 with where we're headed.

00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:48.920
 If you have any questions at all,

00:05:49.180 --> 00:05:50.100
 make sure you stop us

00:05:50.100 --> 00:05:51.020
 and we would love to answer

00:05:51.020 --> 00:05:52.460
 those questions for you.

00:05:52.700 --> 00:05:52.820
 Well,

00:05:52.860 --> 00:05:55.020
 as we get into our passage this morning

00:05:55.020 --> 00:05:56.100
 in Luke 2,

00:05:56.140 --> 00:05:57.460
 I'd like to read to you this morning

00:05:57.460 --> 00:05:58.520
 Luke 2,

00:05:58.620 --> 00:05:59.960
 verse 14.

00:06:01.960 --> 00:06:03.520
 It says glory to God

00:06:03.520 --> 00:06:04.560
 and the highest

00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:07.120
 and on earth peace

00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:09.160
 among those

00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:10.200
 with whom

00:06:10.200 --> 00:06:11.700
 he is pleased.

00:06:12.620 --> 00:06:13.180
 Would you pray with me?

00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:15.180
 God,

00:06:15.260 --> 00:06:15.940
 we come to you

00:06:15.940 --> 00:06:16.740
 this morning,

00:06:16.880 --> 00:06:17.040
 Lord,

00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:17.700
 thanking you.

00:06:19.020 --> 00:06:19.320
 Lord,

00:06:19.420 --> 00:06:20.460
 the example

00:06:20.460 --> 00:06:21.620
 and the display

00:06:21.620 --> 00:06:22.600
 of joy

00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:24.380
 that we saw

00:06:24.380 --> 00:06:24.900
 in the life

00:06:24.900 --> 00:06:25.540
 of these kids,

00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:27.680
 the sincerity

00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:28.680
 of their worship

00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:30.560
 and the truth

00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:31.140
 of the words

00:06:31.140 --> 00:06:31.800
 that they sang.

00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:33.240
 Lord,

00:06:33.260 --> 00:06:33.940
 may we continue

00:06:33.940 --> 00:06:34.820
 to worship you

00:06:34.820 --> 00:06:36.060
 in the study

00:06:36.060 --> 00:06:37.080
 of your word.

00:06:38.320 --> 00:06:38.580
 Lord,

00:06:38.620 --> 00:06:39.320
 may you decrease

00:06:39.320 --> 00:06:40.220
 anything in this

00:06:40.220 --> 00:06:40.800
 that is me.

00:06:41.760 --> 00:06:41.880
 Lord,

00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:42.840
 and may you increase

00:06:42.840 --> 00:06:43.880
 in all that is you.

00:06:44.700 --> 00:06:45.880
 All for your name

00:06:45.880 --> 00:06:47.500
 and for your glory.

00:06:48.440 --> 00:06:49.260
 And it's in Jesus' name

00:06:49.260 --> 00:06:49.640
 we pray.

00:06:50.260 --> 00:06:50.580
 Amen.

00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:52.600
 We are working

00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:54.100
 through the different

00:06:54.100 --> 00:06:56.640
 characters of Christmas.

00:06:57.720 --> 00:06:59.080
 We've looked at

00:06:59.080 --> 00:07:01.520
 Zechariah week one

00:07:01.520 --> 00:07:03.280
 and the promise

00:07:03.280 --> 00:07:04.480
 of his son

00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:05.780
 and the angel

00:07:05.780 --> 00:07:06.880
 who spoke to him.

00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:08.620
 We've looked at Mary.

00:07:08.760 --> 00:07:09.700
 We've looked at Joseph.

00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:10.840
 And this week

00:07:10.840 --> 00:07:11.360
 we come

00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:12.360
 and we're going to be

00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:13.180
 looking at

00:07:13.180 --> 00:07:14.580
 the shepherds

00:07:14.580 --> 00:07:15.680
 and their interaction

00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:17.020
 and their response

00:07:17.020 --> 00:07:17.960
 with the angels.

00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:19.580
 And then within this,

00:07:19.660 --> 00:07:19.760
 though,

00:07:19.820 --> 00:07:20.520
 we're going to

00:07:20.520 --> 00:07:21.220
 read through

00:07:21.220 --> 00:07:21.960
 kind of our

00:07:21.960 --> 00:07:23.420
 traditional Christmas

00:07:23.420 --> 00:07:24.860
 story of what

00:07:24.860 --> 00:07:25.720
 we would think of

00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:26.700
 when we look

00:07:26.700 --> 00:07:27.720
 at God's word

00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:29.180
 in Luke chapter 2.

00:07:29.300 --> 00:07:29.760
 So if you would

00:07:29.760 --> 00:07:30.560
 join me,

00:07:30.640 --> 00:07:31.120
 we'll read

00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:32.300
 starting in verse 1

00:07:32.300 --> 00:07:33.700
 and read all the way

00:07:33.700 --> 00:07:34.980
 through verse 20.

00:07:36.380 --> 00:07:37.280
 God's word says,

00:07:37.400 --> 00:07:38.100
 in those days

00:07:38.100 --> 00:07:39.100
 a decree went out

00:07:39.100 --> 00:07:40.760
 from Caesar Augustus

00:07:40.760 --> 00:07:42.560
 that all the world

00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:43.900
 should be registered.

00:07:45.100 --> 00:07:46.080
 This was the first

00:07:46.080 --> 00:07:47.120
 registration

00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:48.440
 when Quinerius

00:07:48.440 --> 00:07:49.460
 was governor

00:07:49.460 --> 00:07:50.200
 of Syria.

00:07:50.320 --> 00:07:52.420
 and all went

00:07:52.420 --> 00:07:53.980
 to be registered

00:07:53.980 --> 00:07:56.100
 each to his own.

00:07:57.480 --> 00:07:57.980
 And Joseph

00:07:57.980 --> 00:07:58.920
 also went up

00:07:58.920 --> 00:07:59.760
 from Galilee

00:07:59.760 --> 00:08:00.820
 from the town

00:08:00.820 --> 00:08:02.020
 of Nazareth

00:08:02.020 --> 00:08:03.080
 to Judea

00:08:03.080 --> 00:08:04.420
 to the city

00:08:04.420 --> 00:08:05.000
 of David

00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:06.240
 which is called

00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:06.880
 Bethlehem

00:08:06.880 --> 00:08:08.640
 because he

00:08:08.640 --> 00:08:09.680
 was of the house

00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:11.120
 and the lineage

00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:11.840
 of David

00:08:11.840 --> 00:08:14.160
 to be registered

00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:14.920
 with Mary

00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:16.760
 his betrothed

00:08:16.760 --> 00:08:18.480
 who was with child

00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:20.900
 and while

00:08:20.900 --> 00:08:22.300
 they were there

00:08:22.300 --> 00:08:23.380
 the time came

00:08:23.380 --> 00:08:24.240
 for her

00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:24.860
 to give birth

00:08:24.860 --> 00:08:27.240
 and she gave birth

00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:28.440
 to her firstborn son

00:08:28.440 --> 00:08:30.140
 and wrapped him

00:08:30.140 --> 00:08:31.860
 in swaddling cloths

00:08:31.860 --> 00:08:32.700
 and laid him

00:08:32.700 --> 00:08:32.720
 and laid him

00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:33.240
 in a manger

00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:34.740
 because there

00:08:34.740 --> 00:08:35.480
 was no place

00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:36.020
 for them

00:08:36.020 --> 00:08:37.320
 in the inn.

00:08:38.820 --> 00:08:39.860
 And in the same region

00:08:39.860 --> 00:08:41.000
 there were shepherds

00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:41.760
 out in the field

00:08:41.760 --> 00:08:42.820
 keeping watch

00:08:42.820 --> 00:08:43.640
 over their flock

00:08:43.640 --> 00:08:44.140
 by night.

00:08:45.140 --> 00:08:46.080
 And an angel

00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:46.620
 of the Lord

00:08:46.620 --> 00:08:47.480
 appeared to them

00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:48.120
 and the glory

00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:48.680
 of the Lord

00:08:48.680 --> 00:08:49.720
 shone around them

00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:51.020
 and they were filled

00:08:51.020 --> 00:08:52.300
 with great fear.

00:08:53.340 --> 00:08:54.320
 And the angel

00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:55.320
 said to them

00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:57.040
 fear not

00:08:57.040 --> 00:08:58.380
 for behold

00:08:58.380 --> 00:08:59.000
 I bring you

00:08:59.000 --> 00:08:59.780
 good news

00:08:59.780 --> 00:09:01.200
 of great joy

00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:01.860
 that will be

00:09:01.860 --> 00:09:03.340
 for all the people.

00:09:04.680 --> 00:09:05.200
 For unto you

00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:06.200
 is born this day

00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:07.300
 in the city of David

00:09:07.300 --> 00:09:08.420
 a Savior

00:09:08.420 --> 00:09:10.180
 who is Christ

00:09:10.180 --> 00:09:10.700
 the Lord

00:09:10.700 --> 00:09:12.340
 and this will be

00:09:12.340 --> 00:09:13.240
 a sign for you.

00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:14.740
 You will find

00:09:14.740 --> 00:09:15.180
 a baby

00:09:15.180 --> 00:09:16.080
 wrapped in swaddling

00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:16.720
 cloths

00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:17.580
 and lying

00:09:17.580 --> 00:09:18.140
 in a manger.

00:09:19.940 --> 00:09:20.520
 And suddenly

00:09:20.520 --> 00:09:21.540
 there was a great

00:09:21.540 --> 00:09:23.240
 and suddenly

00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:23.880
 there was

00:09:23.880 --> 00:09:25.120
 with the angel

00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:26.280
 a multitude

00:09:26.280 --> 00:09:27.700
 of heavenly hosts

00:09:27.700 --> 00:09:29.120
 praising God

00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:29.760
 and saying

00:09:29.760 --> 00:09:31.940
 glory to God

00:09:31.940 --> 00:09:32.780
 in the highest

00:09:32.780 --> 00:09:34.660
 and on earth

00:09:34.660 --> 00:09:35.220
 peace

00:09:35.220 --> 00:09:36.660
 among those

00:09:36.660 --> 00:09:37.120
 with whom

00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:37.840
 he is pleased.

00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:39.880
 And the angels

00:09:39.880 --> 00:09:40.840
 went away

00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:41.360
 from them

00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:41.860
 into heaven

00:09:41.860 --> 00:09:43.560
 and the shepherds

00:09:43.560 --> 00:09:44.420
 said to one another

00:09:44.420 --> 00:09:46.540
 let us go over

00:09:46.540 --> 00:09:47.460
 to Bethlehem

00:09:47.460 --> 00:09:49.300
 and see this thing

00:09:49.300 --> 00:09:50.020
 that has happened

00:09:50.020 --> 00:09:51.660
 which the Lord

00:09:51.660 --> 00:09:52.640
 has made known

00:09:52.640 --> 00:09:53.640
 to us.

00:09:54.980 --> 00:09:55.880
 And they went

00:09:55.880 --> 00:09:56.680
 with haste

00:09:56.680 --> 00:09:58.100
 and found Mary

00:09:58.100 --> 00:09:58.860
 and Joseph

00:09:58.860 --> 00:10:00.380
 and the baby

00:10:00.380 --> 00:10:01.980
 lying in a manger.

00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:04.300
 And when they saw it

00:10:04.300 --> 00:10:05.760
 they made known

00:10:05.760 --> 00:10:06.520
 the saying

00:10:06.520 --> 00:10:07.880
 that had been told

00:10:07.880 --> 00:10:08.340
 to them

00:10:08.340 --> 00:10:09.600
 concerning this child

00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:12.140
 and all who heard it

00:10:12.140 --> 00:10:13.000
 wondered

00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:15.080
 at what the shepherds

00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:16.060
 told them.

00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:17.980
 but Mary

00:10:17.980 --> 00:10:18.720
 treasured up

00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:20.240
 all these things

00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:22.100
 pondering them

00:10:22.100 --> 00:10:23.000
 in her heart

00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:25.180
 and the shepherds

00:10:25.180 --> 00:10:25.880
 returned

00:10:25.880 --> 00:10:27.520
 glorifying

00:10:27.520 --> 00:10:29.360
 and praising God

00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:30.780
 for all they

00:10:30.780 --> 00:10:31.400
 had heard

00:10:31.400 --> 00:10:32.600
 and seen

00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:34.140
 as it has been

00:10:34.140 --> 00:10:35.380
 told to them.

00:10:36.380 --> 00:10:37.440
 The beautiful

00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:38.020
 message

00:10:38.020 --> 00:10:40.420
 of the birth

00:10:40.420 --> 00:10:41.140
 of Christ

00:10:41.140 --> 00:10:43.080
 the hopeful

00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:43.740
 message

00:10:43.740 --> 00:10:45.300
 of the proclamation

00:10:45.300 --> 00:10:46.500
 of the angels

00:10:46.500 --> 00:10:48.440
 and the beautiful

00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:49.640
 response

00:10:49.640 --> 00:10:51.060
 of the shepherds.

00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:52.640
 When we

00:10:52.640 --> 00:10:54.120
 look at this story

00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:55.840
 largely focusing in

00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:57.160
 on verses 8

00:10:57.160 --> 00:10:58.000
 and moving forward

00:10:58.000 --> 00:10:58.980
 we hear

00:10:58.980 --> 00:11:00.280
 this message

00:11:00.280 --> 00:11:01.660
 presented by angels

00:11:01.660 --> 00:11:02.300
 the story

00:11:02.300 --> 00:11:03.380
 of Jesus Christ

00:11:03.380 --> 00:11:03.920
 the story

00:11:03.920 --> 00:11:04.680
 of his birth

00:11:04.680 --> 00:11:05.700
 is not one written

00:11:05.700 --> 00:11:06.740
 by human hands

00:11:06.740 --> 00:11:07.660
 but one set

00:11:07.660 --> 00:11:08.780
 in the course

00:11:08.780 --> 00:11:09.360
 of history

00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:10.860
 by our creator

00:11:10.860 --> 00:11:12.040
 the one

00:11:12.040 --> 00:11:12.660
 penned

00:11:12.660 --> 00:11:13.180
 and known

00:11:13.180 --> 00:11:13.840
 and determined

00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:14.760
 by God

00:11:14.760 --> 00:11:16.400
 what we read

00:11:16.400 --> 00:11:17.240
 in these verses

00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:18.340
 is not the thought

00:11:18.340 --> 00:11:18.840
 that would come

00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:19.400
 to man

00:11:19.400 --> 00:11:22.260
 but the sovereign

00:11:22.260 --> 00:11:23.360
 will of God

00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:24.720
 being told

00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:26.520
 God the father

00:11:26.520 --> 00:11:28.680
 sending his son

00:11:28.680 --> 00:11:30.380
 the king

00:11:30.380 --> 00:11:33.060
 sending the prince

00:11:33.060 --> 00:11:34.560
 the prince

00:11:34.560 --> 00:11:35.520
 of peace

00:11:35.520 --> 00:11:37.340
 you see

00:11:37.340 --> 00:11:37.860
 in times

00:11:37.860 --> 00:11:38.280
 today

00:11:38.280 --> 00:11:39.180
 in times

00:11:39.180 --> 00:11:39.680
 past

00:11:39.680 --> 00:11:40.960
 when royalty

00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:41.760
 specifically

00:11:41.760 --> 00:11:42.800
 a king

00:11:42.800 --> 00:11:44.440
 decides to announce

00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:45.440
 that a son

00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:46.300
 has been born

00:11:46.300 --> 00:11:48.760
 in his mind

00:11:48.760 --> 00:11:49.640
 there is no

00:11:49.640 --> 00:11:50.920
 greater announcement

00:11:50.920 --> 00:11:52.340
 than that announcement

00:11:52.340 --> 00:11:54.800
 when a king

00:11:54.800 --> 00:11:55.400
 announces

00:11:55.400 --> 00:11:56.680
 that his son

00:11:56.680 --> 00:11:57.640
 has been born

00:11:57.640 --> 00:11:58.640
 there's the promise

00:11:58.640 --> 00:11:59.340
 of the lineage

00:11:59.340 --> 00:12:00.360
 there's the promise

00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:01.060
 of the kingdom

00:12:01.060 --> 00:12:02.020
 there's the promise

00:12:02.020 --> 00:12:02.860
 of all of these

00:12:02.860 --> 00:12:03.940
 have been fulfilled

00:12:03.940 --> 00:12:04.580
 in the birth

00:12:04.580 --> 00:12:05.560
 of this child

00:12:05.560 --> 00:12:07.560
 and this announcement

00:12:07.560 --> 00:12:08.400
 would go out

00:12:08.400 --> 00:12:09.460
 to everyone

00:12:09.460 --> 00:12:11.760
 but specifically

00:12:11.760 --> 00:12:13.640
 to ensure

00:12:13.640 --> 00:12:14.520
 that this announcement

00:12:14.520 --> 00:12:16.080
 was received

00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:17.480
 it would be sent

00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:18.200
 to nobles

00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:19.860
 to dignitaries

00:12:19.860 --> 00:12:20.920
 to politicians

00:12:20.920 --> 00:12:22.880
 to neighboring royalty

00:12:22.880 --> 00:12:24.200
 so that they all

00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:24.880
 could come

00:12:24.880 --> 00:12:26.540
 and pay their respects

00:12:26.540 --> 00:12:27.460
 to the king

00:12:27.460 --> 00:12:29.420
 but what we find

00:12:29.420 --> 00:12:30.460
 in Luke chapter 2

00:12:30.460 --> 00:12:31.920
 is that this would

00:12:31.920 --> 00:12:32.440
 be different

00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:34.120
 and while

00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:35.280
 this announcement

00:12:35.280 --> 00:12:37.780
 would be for all

00:12:37.780 --> 00:12:40.660
 that this announcement

00:12:40.660 --> 00:12:42.640
 on that night

00:12:42.640 --> 00:12:44.500
 would not come

00:12:44.500 --> 00:12:45.040
 to all

00:12:45.040 --> 00:12:46.800
 but instead

00:12:46.800 --> 00:12:47.560
 would come

00:12:47.560 --> 00:12:49.220
 to a different

00:12:49.220 --> 00:12:50.320
 audience

00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:52.200
 I want us to look

00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:52.420
 at this

00:12:52.420 --> 00:12:53.160
 and understand

00:12:53.160 --> 00:12:54.360
 the audience

00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:56.080
 of the shepherds

00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:56.940
 look back with me

00:12:56.940 --> 00:12:59.060
 verses 8-9

00:12:59.060 --> 00:13:02.420
 in the same region

00:13:02.420 --> 00:13:04.080
 there were shepherds

00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:05.520
 out in the field

00:13:05.520 --> 00:13:06.720
 keeping watch

00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:07.740
 over their flock

00:13:07.740 --> 00:13:08.380
 by night

00:13:08.380 --> 00:13:09.760
 and an angel

00:13:09.760 --> 00:13:10.540
 of the Lord

00:13:10.540 --> 00:13:11.740
 appeared to them

00:13:11.740 --> 00:13:12.780
 and the glory

00:13:12.780 --> 00:13:13.540
 of the Lord

00:13:13.540 --> 00:13:14.880
 shone around them

00:13:14.880 --> 00:13:16.320
 and they were filled

00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:17.660
 with great fear

00:13:17.660 --> 00:13:20.720
 so in the sovereign

00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:21.200
 plan

00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:21.840
 and the sovereign

00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:22.400
 purposes

00:13:22.400 --> 00:13:23.840
 of a sovereign God

00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:25.560
 the message

00:13:25.560 --> 00:13:26.180
 of the birth

00:13:26.180 --> 00:13:26.780
 of Christ

00:13:26.780 --> 00:13:28.680
 would not come

00:13:28.680 --> 00:13:29.340
 into a palace

00:13:29.340 --> 00:13:29.940
 but would come

00:13:29.940 --> 00:13:30.640
 into a pasture

00:13:30.640 --> 00:13:32.860
 would not come

00:13:32.860 --> 00:13:33.660
 before kings

00:13:33.660 --> 00:13:35.020
 and dignitaries

00:13:35.020 --> 00:13:35.880
 but would come

00:13:35.880 --> 00:13:36.680
 instead

00:13:36.680 --> 00:13:37.780
 to shepherds

00:13:37.780 --> 00:13:40.300
 would come

00:13:40.300 --> 00:13:41.460
 not to the elite

00:13:41.460 --> 00:13:43.460
 but to the opposite

00:13:43.460 --> 00:13:46.020
 of the elite

00:13:46.020 --> 00:13:47.720
 you and I

00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:48.420
 we see

00:13:48.420 --> 00:13:49.260
 and we know

00:13:49.260 --> 00:13:50.240
 and we live

00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:51.100
 in the value

00:13:51.100 --> 00:13:52.480
 of the perspective

00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:53.460
 of the shepherds

00:13:53.460 --> 00:13:54.980
 it's filled

00:13:54.980 --> 00:13:55.980
 in the stories

00:13:55.980 --> 00:13:57.620
 it was focused

00:13:57.620 --> 00:13:58.900
 on the Charlie Brown

00:13:58.900 --> 00:13:59.760
 Christmas special

00:13:59.760 --> 00:14:01.800
 it's the key figure

00:14:01.800 --> 00:14:03.520
 in the nativity scene

00:14:03.520 --> 00:14:04.460
 one of the key figures

00:14:04.460 --> 00:14:05.480
 in the nativity scene

00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:06.640
 we think of shepherd

00:14:06.640 --> 00:14:07.660
 and we understand

00:14:07.660 --> 00:14:09.080
 in the biblical perspective

00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:10.160
 the value

00:14:10.160 --> 00:14:10.920
 of the shepherd

00:14:10.920 --> 00:14:11.840
 King David

00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:13.300
 was a shepherd

00:14:13.300 --> 00:14:14.460
 Christ is

00:14:14.460 --> 00:14:15.540
 our shepherd

00:14:15.540 --> 00:14:17.660
 we hear this word

00:14:17.660 --> 00:14:18.680
 and we associate

00:14:18.680 --> 00:14:19.240
 with it

00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:20.120
 the positivity

00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:21.880
 but this would not

00:14:21.880 --> 00:14:22.580
 have been the case

00:14:22.580 --> 00:14:23.880
 in the time of Christ

00:14:23.880 --> 00:14:25.540
 in the time of Jesus

00:14:25.540 --> 00:14:26.720
 these were the rough

00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:27.940
 these were the dirty

00:14:27.940 --> 00:14:29.440
 these were the oftentimes

00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:31.560
 socially unacceptable

00:14:31.560 --> 00:14:33.420
 people of society

00:14:33.420 --> 00:14:35.400
 and this is who

00:14:35.400 --> 00:14:37.100
 the angels come to

00:14:37.100 --> 00:14:40.020
 why?

00:14:41.620 --> 00:14:42.380
 why?

00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:45.120
 why shepherds?

00:14:46.340 --> 00:14:47.260
 why not

00:14:47.260 --> 00:14:48.140
 scribes

00:14:48.140 --> 00:14:49.280
 and Pharisees

00:14:49.280 --> 00:14:51.020
 those who were

00:14:51.020 --> 00:14:51.920
 experts in the

00:14:51.920 --> 00:14:52.520
 Old Testament

00:14:52.520 --> 00:14:53.780
 experts in the law

00:14:53.780 --> 00:14:55.320
 experts in the prophets

00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:57.540
 they were the religious

00:14:57.540 --> 00:14:58.060
 leaders

00:14:58.060 --> 00:15:00.400
 and Christ

00:15:00.400 --> 00:15:01.040
 has come

00:15:01.040 --> 00:15:02.740
 why not

00:15:02.740 --> 00:15:03.580
 why not kings

00:15:03.580 --> 00:15:04.320
 and rulers

00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:06.620
 people of power

00:15:06.620 --> 00:15:08.820
 people of influence

00:15:08.820 --> 00:15:11.420
 people of wealth

00:15:11.420 --> 00:15:13.640
 why the rough

00:15:13.640 --> 00:15:15.280
 why the dirty

00:15:15.280 --> 00:15:18.020
 why the unacceptable

00:15:18.020 --> 00:15:19.980
 outcasts

00:15:19.980 --> 00:15:22.160
 and this is what I think

00:15:22.160 --> 00:15:23.360
 when we begin to see

00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:24.000
 and understand

00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:26.380
 and so important for us

00:15:26.380 --> 00:15:28.480
 in this time of season

00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:30.600
 the point of the message

00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:32.460
 the point of the gospel

00:15:32.460 --> 00:15:34.100
 the point of scripture

00:15:34.100 --> 00:15:35.900
 the point of why

00:15:35.900 --> 00:15:37.520
 Jesus came

00:15:37.520 --> 00:15:40.340
 is without Christ

00:15:40.340 --> 00:15:43.600
 whether you're a shepherd

00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:45.640
 or a scrub

00:15:45.640 --> 00:15:47.900
 or a Pharisee

00:15:47.900 --> 00:15:49.520
 or a king

00:15:49.520 --> 00:15:51.120
 or a ruler

00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:53.620
 or just simply you

00:15:53.620 --> 00:15:55.040
 and me

00:15:55.040 --> 00:15:57.740
 that scripture tells us

00:15:57.740 --> 00:15:59.940
 that in our trespasses

00:15:59.940 --> 00:16:00.580
 and sins

00:16:00.580 --> 00:16:02.580
 apart from Christ

00:16:02.580 --> 00:16:04.340
 that we're rough

00:16:04.340 --> 00:16:06.440
 we're dirty

00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:08.520
 and we're unacceptable

00:16:08.520 --> 00:16:09.260
 before God

00:16:09.260 --> 00:16:11.740
 and so the message

00:16:11.740 --> 00:16:12.440
 of the shepherd

00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:14.560
 is the message

00:16:14.560 --> 00:16:15.040
 for you

00:16:15.040 --> 00:16:17.020
 and the message

00:16:17.020 --> 00:16:17.500
 for me

00:16:17.500 --> 00:16:20.180
 that there's this news

00:16:20.180 --> 00:16:22.220
 about this savior

00:16:22.220 --> 00:16:24.820
 and he's come

00:16:24.820 --> 00:16:26.580
 to save

00:16:26.580 --> 00:16:27.880
 us all

00:16:27.880 --> 00:16:29.820
 and we all

00:16:29.820 --> 00:16:30.860
 need to be saved

00:16:30.860 --> 00:16:33.180
 we're all a little dirty

00:16:33.180 --> 00:16:35.760
 we're all a little rough

00:16:35.760 --> 00:16:37.820
 we're all a little

00:16:37.820 --> 00:16:39.400
 unacceptable

00:16:39.400 --> 00:16:41.400
 before a holy God

00:16:41.400 --> 00:16:43.340
 so Jesus

00:16:43.340 --> 00:16:45.000
 comes

00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:46.920
 and this

00:16:46.920 --> 00:16:48.160
 gift that we

00:16:48.160 --> 00:16:48.840
 see

00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:50.100
 this gift

00:16:50.100 --> 00:16:50.900
 is the gift

00:16:50.900 --> 00:16:52.120
 of good news

00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:54.040
 have you ever

00:16:54.040 --> 00:16:54.960
 gotten a gift

00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:56.560
 that you were

00:16:56.560 --> 00:16:57.600
 really excited about

00:16:57.600 --> 00:16:59.360
 and you're probably

00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:00.260
 the only person

00:17:00.260 --> 00:17:00.980
 that you know

00:17:00.980 --> 00:17:02.020
 that would be

00:17:02.020 --> 00:17:02.980
 really excited

00:17:02.980 --> 00:17:03.900
 about this

00:17:03.900 --> 00:17:04.720
 particular gift

00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:07.260
 a few years ago

00:17:07.260 --> 00:17:08.520
 my mother-in-law

00:17:08.520 --> 00:17:09.720
 I love my mother-in-law

00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:10.600
 she'll be here with us

00:17:10.600 --> 00:17:11.740
 on Christmas Eve

00:17:11.740 --> 00:17:13.520
 I love my mother-in-law

00:17:13.520 --> 00:17:14.380
 my mother-in-law

00:17:14.380 --> 00:17:15.520
 loves to give gifts

00:17:15.520 --> 00:17:16.420
 my mother-in-law

00:17:16.420 --> 00:17:17.100
 loves to give

00:17:17.100 --> 00:17:18.260
 extremely practical

00:17:18.260 --> 00:17:19.160
 gifts

00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:20.040
 right

00:17:20.040 --> 00:17:21.220
 that's her

00:17:21.220 --> 00:17:21.740
 that's how she

00:17:21.740 --> 00:17:22.380
 communicates

00:17:22.380 --> 00:17:24.020
 and I love that

00:17:24.020 --> 00:17:24.740
 so if you were here

00:17:24.740 --> 00:17:25.920
 a few weeks ago

00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:26.900
 my mother-in-law

00:17:26.900 --> 00:17:27.800
 would never have

00:17:27.800 --> 00:17:28.500
 given me an

00:17:28.500 --> 00:17:30.220
 R2D2 toaster

00:17:30.220 --> 00:17:30.720
 right

00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:31.840
 my son likes to

00:17:31.840 --> 00:17:32.580
 give completely

00:17:32.580 --> 00:17:33.580
 impractical gifts

00:17:33.580 --> 00:17:33.980
 right

00:17:33.980 --> 00:17:34.400
 and so that's

00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:34.760
 where we're at

00:17:34.760 --> 00:17:35.800
 so a few years ago

00:17:35.800 --> 00:17:36.780
 I know that

00:17:36.780 --> 00:17:37.480
 my mother-in-law

00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:38.180
 likes to give

00:17:38.180 --> 00:17:39.100
 practical gifts

00:17:39.100 --> 00:17:40.020
 I know that

00:17:40.020 --> 00:17:40.860
 around Thanksgiving

00:17:40.860 --> 00:17:41.440
 time

00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:42.120
 she's going to

00:17:42.120 --> 00:17:42.600
 look at me

00:17:42.600 --> 00:17:43.320
 and for whatever

00:17:43.320 --> 00:17:43.840
 reason when she

00:17:43.840 --> 00:17:44.660
 asks me a question

00:17:44.660 --> 00:17:45.620
 she refers to me

00:17:45.620 --> 00:17:47.000
 as Mr. Bradbury

00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:47.900
 right like that's

00:17:47.900 --> 00:17:48.440
 just kind of her

00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:49.180
 thing that she does

00:17:49.180 --> 00:17:49.700
 and she says

00:17:49.700 --> 00:17:50.700
 so Mr. Bradbury

00:17:50.700 --> 00:17:51.840
 and I said

00:17:51.840 --> 00:17:52.460
 yes

00:17:52.460 --> 00:17:53.140
 I call her

00:17:53.140 --> 00:17:53.500
 Wheezy

00:17:53.500 --> 00:17:54.840
 her first name

00:17:54.840 --> 00:17:55.220
 is Louise

00:17:55.220 --> 00:17:56.520
 that's what we do

00:17:56.520 --> 00:17:57.260
 I said yes

00:17:57.260 --> 00:17:57.660
 Wheezy

00:17:57.660 --> 00:17:59.140
 and she said

00:17:59.140 --> 00:18:00.560
 what would you

00:18:00.560 --> 00:18:01.440
 like for Christmas

00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:02.860
 I've been thinking

00:18:02.860 --> 00:18:03.540
 through this

00:18:03.540 --> 00:18:05.780
 and I said

00:18:05.780 --> 00:18:06.140
 you know

00:18:06.140 --> 00:18:08.600
 I'd like some

00:18:08.600 --> 00:18:09.040
 buckets

00:18:09.040 --> 00:18:12.780
 she was just

00:18:12.780 --> 00:18:13.340
 like that

00:18:13.340 --> 00:18:14.760
 she's like

00:18:14.760 --> 00:18:15.480
 you want buckets

00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:16.320
 it's like

00:18:16.320 --> 00:18:17.060
 yeah yeah yeah

00:18:17.060 --> 00:18:18.100
 I want some buckets

00:18:18.100 --> 00:18:19.000
 and she's like

00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:19.780
 well what else

00:18:19.780 --> 00:18:20.300
 do you want

00:18:20.300 --> 00:18:20.600
 I was like

00:18:20.600 --> 00:18:21.340
 no no no

00:18:21.340 --> 00:18:23.200
 take whatever

00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:23.940
 you would spend

00:18:23.940 --> 00:18:24.440
 on me

00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:26.480
 and invest

00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:26.940
 them

00:18:26.940 --> 00:18:28.360
 in buckets

00:18:28.360 --> 00:18:29.720
 I want buckets

00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:30.680
 you see you know

00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:31.140
 Aaron and I

00:18:31.140 --> 00:18:31.820
 we have a garden

00:18:31.820 --> 00:18:32.740
 and we have the

00:18:32.740 --> 00:18:33.100
 different things

00:18:33.100 --> 00:18:33.520
 that we're doing

00:18:33.520 --> 00:18:34.120
 I've been looking

00:18:34.120 --> 00:18:34.660
 at some different

00:18:34.660 --> 00:18:35.160
 things that I

00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:35.640
 wanted to do

00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:36.260
 that I wanted

00:18:36.260 --> 00:18:36.720
 to grow

00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:37.180
 some things

00:18:37.180 --> 00:18:37.480
 with this

00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:38.440
 and I realized

00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:39.280
 that I needed

00:18:39.280 --> 00:18:40.420
 a bunch

00:18:40.420 --> 00:18:41.020
 of buckets

00:18:41.020 --> 00:18:41.560
 I said so

00:18:41.560 --> 00:18:42.160
 10

00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:42.920
 15

00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:43.580
 20

00:18:43.580 --> 00:18:44.180
 30

00:18:44.180 --> 00:18:45.300
 however many

00:18:45.300 --> 00:18:46.240
 you can get

00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:47.140
 give me

00:18:47.140 --> 00:18:48.000
 buckets

00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:50.040
 and we got there

00:18:50.040 --> 00:18:50.620
 that Christmas

00:18:50.620 --> 00:18:51.100
 morning

00:18:51.100 --> 00:18:52.080
 not the Christmas

00:18:52.080 --> 00:18:52.320
 morning

00:18:52.320 --> 00:18:52.640
 I'm sorry

00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:53.320
 we got there

00:18:53.320 --> 00:18:53.940
 the Saturday

00:18:53.940 --> 00:18:54.280
 before

00:18:54.280 --> 00:18:54.660
 is when we

00:18:54.660 --> 00:18:55.500
 celebrate Christmas

00:18:55.500 --> 00:18:56.020
 with Aaron's

00:18:56.020 --> 00:18:56.840
 mom and dad

00:18:56.840 --> 00:18:57.540
 we got there

00:18:57.540 --> 00:18:58.060
 and then

00:18:58.060 --> 00:18:59.060
 she went out

00:18:59.060 --> 00:18:59.820
 into the garage

00:18:59.820 --> 00:19:00.980
 and presented

00:19:00.980 --> 00:19:01.660
 to me

00:19:01.660 --> 00:19:03.220
 my large

00:19:03.220 --> 00:19:04.380
 stack

00:19:04.380 --> 00:19:05.800
 of buckets

00:19:05.800 --> 00:19:07.740
 and I love

00:19:07.740 --> 00:19:08.300
 my buckets

00:19:08.300 --> 00:19:10.180
 and every

00:19:10.180 --> 00:19:11.060
 year

00:19:11.060 --> 00:19:12.320
 since then

00:19:12.320 --> 00:19:13.760
 it is

00:19:13.760 --> 00:19:14.480
 guaranteed

00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:16.540
 as a joke

00:19:16.540 --> 00:19:17.380
 and a reminder

00:19:17.380 --> 00:19:18.480
 of the relationship

00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:19.400
 between me

00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:20.360
 and my mother-in-law

00:19:20.360 --> 00:19:21.900
 I will get a bucket

00:19:21.900 --> 00:19:22.800
 right

00:19:22.800 --> 00:19:25.080
 I say all that

00:19:25.080 --> 00:19:25.480
 because

00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:27.060
 I would be

00:19:27.060 --> 00:19:27.640
 willing to bet

00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:28.360
 in here today

00:19:28.360 --> 00:19:29.220
 there is no one

00:19:29.220 --> 00:19:30.260
 else in this room

00:19:30.260 --> 00:19:30.780
 that would get

00:19:30.780 --> 00:19:31.240
 excited

00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:33.200
 if you got a

00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:34.060
 bucket for Christmas

00:19:34.060 --> 00:19:35.800
 but I do

00:19:35.800 --> 00:19:37.520
 it's what I like

00:19:37.520 --> 00:19:38.000
 it's the

00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:38.680
 it's the

00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:39.640
 it's the gift

00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:40.900
 that fits me

00:19:40.900 --> 00:19:41.960
 and whatever

00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:42.860
 weirdness

00:19:42.860 --> 00:19:43.780
 that says

00:19:43.780 --> 00:19:44.200
 about

00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:45.560
 my personality

00:19:45.560 --> 00:19:47.960
 and you'll get

00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:48.320
 a gift

00:19:48.320 --> 00:19:48.860
 this year

00:19:48.860 --> 00:19:50.740
 that fits you

00:19:50.740 --> 00:19:52.160
 that meets

00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:52.960
 what you need

00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:54.420
 that might not

00:19:54.420 --> 00:19:55.480
 meet what I need

00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:56.880
 it's a gift

00:19:56.880 --> 00:19:57.620
 that you want

00:19:57.620 --> 00:19:58.240
 it might not

00:19:58.240 --> 00:19:59.440
 be what I want

00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:01.280
 but it's the gift

00:20:01.280 --> 00:20:02.920
 in your uniqueness

00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:04.460
 that fits you

00:20:04.460 --> 00:20:05.900
 here's why

00:20:05.900 --> 00:20:06.640
 I tell this story

00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:08.160
 the gift

00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:09.140
 of the good news

00:20:09.140 --> 00:20:10.420
 of Jesus Christ

00:20:10.420 --> 00:20:12.780
 it is a gift

00:20:12.780 --> 00:20:14.440
 that fits

00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:16.040
 in the uniqueness

00:20:16.040 --> 00:20:17.860
 for all of us

00:20:17.860 --> 00:20:19.960
 it is the gift

00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:21.700
 whether you know it

00:20:21.700 --> 00:20:22.320
 or not

00:20:22.320 --> 00:20:23.920
 that you desperately

00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:24.580
 need

00:20:24.580 --> 00:20:26.580
 and it is a gift

00:20:26.580 --> 00:20:28.460
 that when you know it

00:20:28.460 --> 00:20:31.280
 and you receive it

00:20:31.280 --> 00:20:33.880
 beyond every other

00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:34.580
 emotion

00:20:34.580 --> 00:20:36.780
 is the emotion

00:20:36.780 --> 00:20:37.860
 of gratitude

00:20:37.860 --> 00:20:40.280
 in Luke 2

00:20:40.280 --> 00:20:41.560
 10 through 11

00:20:41.560 --> 00:20:43.580
 the angel

00:20:43.580 --> 00:20:44.600
 and the announcement

00:20:44.600 --> 00:20:45.200
 to them

00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:45.900
 imagine you're

00:20:45.900 --> 00:20:47.140
 you're the shepherd

00:20:47.140 --> 00:20:48.640
 you're out in the field

00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:49.080
 it is

00:20:49.080 --> 00:20:50.580
 just another

00:20:50.580 --> 00:20:51.740
 night

00:20:51.740 --> 00:20:54.060
 praying for

00:20:54.060 --> 00:20:56.140
 a boring night

00:20:56.140 --> 00:20:58.140
 no attacks

00:20:58.140 --> 00:20:59.820
 no wandering

00:20:59.820 --> 00:21:00.420
 sheep

00:21:00.420 --> 00:21:02.200
 no problems

00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:03.100
 to be had

00:21:03.100 --> 00:21:04.680
 let me get

00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:05.640
 through this

00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:06.180
 night

00:21:06.180 --> 00:21:07.860
 and may it

00:21:07.860 --> 00:21:08.540
 be a boring

00:21:08.540 --> 00:21:09.000
 night

00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:11.160
 and then

00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:12.980
 the angel

00:21:12.980 --> 00:21:14.460
 appears to them

00:21:14.460 --> 00:21:14.960
 and says

00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:16.100
 fear not

00:21:16.100 --> 00:21:17.620
 for behold

00:21:17.620 --> 00:21:19.660
 I bring you

00:21:19.660 --> 00:21:21.420
 good news

00:21:21.420 --> 00:21:23.000
 of great joy

00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:24.120
 that will be

00:21:24.120 --> 00:21:25.040
 for all people

00:21:25.040 --> 00:21:27.280
 for unto you

00:21:27.280 --> 00:21:28.480
 is born

00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:29.400
 this day

00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:31.000
 in the city

00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:32.220
 of David

00:21:32.220 --> 00:21:33.460
 a savior

00:21:33.460 --> 00:21:35.600
 who is Christ

00:21:35.600 --> 00:21:36.740
 the Lord

00:21:36.740 --> 00:21:38.580
 this morning

00:21:38.580 --> 00:21:39.640
 I got here early

00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:40.520
 and was going back

00:21:40.520 --> 00:21:41.220
 through my notes

00:21:41.220 --> 00:21:42.220
 and finishing up

00:21:42.220 --> 00:21:43.140
 a few things

00:21:43.140 --> 00:21:44.180
 and I noticed

00:21:44.180 --> 00:21:45.480
 something this morning

00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:47.260
 that I don't know

00:21:47.260 --> 00:21:47.720
 that I've ever

00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:48.640
 noticed before

00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:50.960
 I noticed

00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:51.800
 as I looked

00:21:51.800 --> 00:21:52.460
 through these

00:21:52.460 --> 00:21:53.700
 these two verses

00:21:53.700 --> 00:21:54.780
 and studied them

00:21:54.780 --> 00:21:55.800
 over and over again

00:21:55.800 --> 00:21:56.600
 and then I tried

00:21:56.600 --> 00:21:57.500
 to put myself

00:21:57.500 --> 00:21:59.140
 in the shoes

00:21:59.140 --> 00:22:00.700
 in the sandals

00:22:00.700 --> 00:22:02.800
 of the shepherds

00:22:02.800 --> 00:22:03.380
 in that moment

00:22:03.380 --> 00:22:06.520
 and what they would

00:22:06.520 --> 00:22:07.260
 have heard

00:22:07.260 --> 00:22:10.000
 in this moment

00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:14.540
 the personal

00:22:14.540 --> 00:22:16.120
 nature

00:22:16.120 --> 00:22:18.240
 of the announcement

00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:22.780
 the angel says

00:22:22.780 --> 00:22:27.140
 hey Johnny

00:22:27.140 --> 00:22:29.400
 I bring to you

00:22:34.540 --> 00:22:35.660
 I bring to you

00:22:35.660 --> 00:22:38.700
 there

00:22:38.700 --> 00:22:40.980
 there's the moment

00:22:40.980 --> 00:22:43.500
 in the announcement

00:22:43.500 --> 00:22:43.520
 in the announcement

00:22:43.520 --> 00:22:46.180
 where this gift

00:22:46.180 --> 00:22:48.520
 of good news

00:22:48.520 --> 00:22:50.680
 of great joy

00:22:50.680 --> 00:22:52.680
 that is for all people

00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:54.420
 is for you

00:22:54.420 --> 00:22:56.360
 because

00:22:56.360 --> 00:22:58.780
 born on this day

00:22:58.780 --> 00:22:59.320
 again

00:22:59.320 --> 00:23:01.200
 if you missed it

00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:02.260
 the first time

00:23:02.260 --> 00:23:04.120
 shepherds

00:23:04.120 --> 00:23:04.780
 as you're listening

00:23:04.780 --> 00:23:05.740
 out in the field

00:23:05.740 --> 00:23:07.860
 in your rough

00:23:07.860 --> 00:23:09.880
 in your dirty

00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:12.140
 in your unacceptable

00:23:12.140 --> 00:23:13.400
 nature

00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:15.720
 for you

00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:18.260
 is born this day

00:23:18.260 --> 00:23:19.900
 the city

00:23:19.900 --> 00:23:21.060
 in the city

00:23:21.060 --> 00:23:21.740
 of David

00:23:21.740 --> 00:23:23.020
 a savior

00:23:23.020 --> 00:23:24.680
 who is Christ

00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:25.120
 the Lord

00:23:25.120 --> 00:23:27.040
 I love

00:23:27.040 --> 00:23:29.100
 the beauty

00:23:29.100 --> 00:23:30.860
 of the intimacy

00:23:30.860 --> 00:23:32.100
 of our God

00:23:32.100 --> 00:23:34.440
 that in

00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:35.800
 this moment

00:23:35.800 --> 00:23:37.980
 this gift

00:23:37.980 --> 00:23:39.100
 that is given

00:23:39.100 --> 00:23:42.060
 is good news

00:23:42.060 --> 00:23:43.520
 for the world

00:23:43.520 --> 00:23:45.480
 is good news

00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:46.860
 for everyone

00:23:46.860 --> 00:23:48.360
 but the beauty

00:23:48.360 --> 00:23:49.860
 the hope

00:23:49.860 --> 00:23:51.140
 where this hits

00:23:51.140 --> 00:23:52.740
 where this lands

00:23:52.740 --> 00:23:55.120
 it's for the world

00:23:55.120 --> 00:23:56.700
 but it's for

00:23:56.700 --> 00:23:57.580
 you

00:23:57.580 --> 00:23:59.660
 it's for you

00:23:59.660 --> 00:24:01.700
 and I believe

00:24:01.700 --> 00:24:02.340
 that you

00:24:02.340 --> 00:24:03.620
 might be in here

00:24:03.620 --> 00:24:04.080
 today

00:24:04.080 --> 00:24:05.340
 and you

00:24:05.340 --> 00:24:06.160
 are thinking

00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:07.460
 this is not

00:24:07.460 --> 00:24:08.200
 for me

00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:09.680
 but I want to tell you

00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:10.560
 that the gift

00:24:10.560 --> 00:24:11.560
 of Jesus Christ

00:24:11.560 --> 00:24:12.460
 the news

00:24:12.460 --> 00:24:13.500
 of great joy

00:24:13.500 --> 00:24:14.700
 that it is unique

00:24:14.700 --> 00:24:15.580
 and there's nothing

00:24:15.580 --> 00:24:16.140
 like it

00:24:16.140 --> 00:24:17.000
 that this gift

00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:18.020
 of Jesus Christ

00:24:18.020 --> 00:24:18.840
 is news

00:24:18.840 --> 00:24:19.900
 for all people

00:24:19.900 --> 00:24:20.900
 for everyone

00:24:20.900 --> 00:24:21.660
 everywhere

00:24:21.660 --> 00:24:22.800
 that this news

00:24:22.800 --> 00:24:23.820
 of Jesus Christ

00:24:23.820 --> 00:24:25.200
 is God's promises

00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:26.180
 from the beginning

00:24:26.180 --> 00:24:26.940
 in the garden

00:24:26.940 --> 00:24:28.260
 of what he's been telling

00:24:28.260 --> 00:24:29.680
 and what he's been promising

00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:31.080
 all through the prophets

00:24:31.080 --> 00:24:32.460
 and all the way through

00:24:32.460 --> 00:24:33.420
 that this news

00:24:33.420 --> 00:24:34.220
 of salvation

00:24:34.220 --> 00:24:35.040
 of freedom

00:24:35.040 --> 00:24:35.680
 of hope

00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:36.320
 of life

00:24:36.320 --> 00:24:36.940
 of purpose

00:24:36.940 --> 00:24:37.560
 of meaning

00:24:37.560 --> 00:24:38.500
 of eternity

00:24:38.500 --> 00:24:39.940
 this news

00:24:39.940 --> 00:24:40.940
 of Jesus

00:24:40.940 --> 00:24:42.420
 no matter how dirty

00:24:42.420 --> 00:24:43.940
 no matter how rough

00:24:43.940 --> 00:24:45.660
 no matter how unacceptable

00:24:45.660 --> 00:24:46.660
 you are

00:24:46.660 --> 00:24:48.460
 it is for you

00:24:48.460 --> 00:24:51.000
 and that's what makes

00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:52.980
 this not just news

00:24:52.980 --> 00:24:54.340
 but this is what makes

00:24:54.340 --> 00:24:55.400
 this good news

00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:56.640
 this is the power

00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:57.500
 and the hope

00:24:57.500 --> 00:24:58.360
 of the gospel

00:24:58.360 --> 00:25:00.620
 and so in John 3

00:25:00.620 --> 00:25:02.000
 16 through 18

00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:03.300
 it says

00:25:03.300 --> 00:25:04.620
 for God so loved

00:25:04.620 --> 00:25:05.220
 the world

00:25:05.220 --> 00:25:05.840
 that he gave

00:25:05.840 --> 00:25:06.920
 his only son

00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:08.200
 that whoever believes

00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:09.480
 in him should not perish

00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:10.760
 but have eternal life

00:25:10.760 --> 00:25:12.300
 most of us know that verse

00:25:12.300 --> 00:25:13.520
 I love to keep reading

00:25:13.520 --> 00:25:15.240
 verse 17

00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:15.900
 for God

00:25:15.900 --> 00:25:16.600
 did not send

00:25:16.600 --> 00:25:17.200
 his son

00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:18.040
 into the world

00:25:18.040 --> 00:25:19.000
 to condemn

00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:19.660
 the world

00:25:19.660 --> 00:25:20.720
 but in order

00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:21.600
 that the world

00:25:21.600 --> 00:25:22.780
 might be saved

00:25:22.780 --> 00:25:23.860
 through him

00:25:23.860 --> 00:25:25.780
 the hope

00:25:25.780 --> 00:25:28.420
 they didn't come

00:25:28.420 --> 00:25:29.080
 to condemn

00:25:29.080 --> 00:25:31.440
 but he came

00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:31.960
 to save

00:25:31.960 --> 00:25:34.140
 he came

00:25:34.140 --> 00:25:34.460
 to save

00:25:34.460 --> 00:25:35.100
 shepherds

00:25:35.100 --> 00:25:37.180
 he came

00:25:37.180 --> 00:25:37.820
 to save you

00:25:37.820 --> 00:25:39.800
 and he came

00:25:39.800 --> 00:25:40.360
 to save me

00:25:40.360 --> 00:25:45.600
 and so verse 18

00:25:45.600 --> 00:25:48.040
 whoever believes

00:25:48.040 --> 00:25:48.520
 in him

00:25:48.520 --> 00:25:51.080
 is not condemned

00:25:51.080 --> 00:25:53.580
 but whoever

00:25:53.580 --> 00:25:54.300
 does not

00:25:54.300 --> 00:25:55.080
 believe

00:25:55.080 --> 00:25:56.820
 is condemned

00:25:56.820 --> 00:25:57.340
 already

00:25:57.340 --> 00:25:59.220
 because he

00:25:59.220 --> 00:25:59.640
 has not

00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:00.260
 believed

00:26:00.260 --> 00:26:01.820
 in the name

00:26:01.820 --> 00:26:03.320
 of the only

00:26:03.320 --> 00:26:04.480
 son

00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:05.700
 of God

00:26:05.700 --> 00:26:07.860
 Jesus

00:26:07.860 --> 00:26:09.300
 Christ

00:26:09.300 --> 00:26:11.400
 so what do you

00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:12.220
 do with this gift

00:26:12.220 --> 00:26:14.660
 what does it

00:26:14.660 --> 00:26:15.620
 mean to receive

00:26:15.620 --> 00:26:17.200
 what does it

00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:17.840
 mean to have

00:26:17.840 --> 00:26:18.040
 it

00:26:18.040 --> 00:26:19.380
 what does it

00:26:19.380 --> 00:26:20.260
 mean to take

00:26:20.260 --> 00:26:23.080
 believe

00:26:23.080 --> 00:26:25.660
 believe

00:26:25.660 --> 00:26:28.020
 now you and I

00:26:28.020 --> 00:26:29.580
 we often times

00:26:29.580 --> 00:26:31.820
 like I told a story

00:26:31.820 --> 00:26:33.740
 just a minute ago

00:26:33.740 --> 00:26:35.240
 about Christmas

00:26:35.240 --> 00:26:36.380
 with my mother-in-law

00:26:36.380 --> 00:26:37.700
 and I hope

00:26:37.700 --> 00:26:39.540
 that you believe me

00:26:39.540 --> 00:26:41.340
 the only person

00:26:41.340 --> 00:26:42.200
 in this room

00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:43.520
 who was there

00:26:43.520 --> 00:26:44.800
 when it happened

00:26:44.800 --> 00:26:47.100
 were Aaron and I

00:26:47.100 --> 00:26:49.280
 but hopefully

00:26:49.280 --> 00:26:50.140
 you hear

00:26:50.140 --> 00:26:51.140
 that story

00:26:51.140 --> 00:26:51.660
 and it was

00:26:51.660 --> 00:26:52.360
 true

00:26:52.360 --> 00:26:53.480
 and you believe

00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:54.620
 that on that

00:26:54.620 --> 00:26:54.960
 Christmas

00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:56.140
 I got a bunch

00:26:56.140 --> 00:26:57.840
 of bright

00:26:57.840 --> 00:26:58.400
 blue

00:26:58.400 --> 00:26:59.380
 Lowe's

00:26:59.380 --> 00:27:00.320
 buckets

00:27:00.320 --> 00:27:02.560
 we think

00:27:02.560 --> 00:27:03.100
 that belief

00:27:03.100 --> 00:27:03.640
 is simply

00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:04.320
 the acceptance

00:27:04.320 --> 00:27:05.100
 of information

00:27:05.100 --> 00:27:07.180
 and often times

00:27:07.180 --> 00:27:07.760
 we come to the

00:27:07.760 --> 00:27:08.440
 Bible with the same

00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:08.740
 thing

00:27:08.740 --> 00:27:10.520
 well I believe

00:27:10.520 --> 00:27:11.160
 in Jesus

00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:12.980
 I believe

00:27:12.980 --> 00:27:13.800
 in the story

00:27:13.800 --> 00:27:14.960
 I believe

00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:15.280
 that it's

00:27:15.280 --> 00:27:15.740
 true

00:27:15.740 --> 00:27:16.860
 I believe

00:27:16.860 --> 00:27:17.720
 that he lived

00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:18.160
 I believe

00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:18.860
 that he died

00:27:18.860 --> 00:27:19.260
 I believe

00:27:19.260 --> 00:27:20.260
 that he resurrected

00:27:20.260 --> 00:27:21.020
 from the grave

00:27:21.020 --> 00:27:21.480
 I believe

00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:22.400
 all of these

00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:23.000
 things

00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:23.440
 I believe

00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:24.260
 all of this

00:27:24.260 --> 00:27:24.900
 information

00:27:24.900 --> 00:27:26.240
 I accept

00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:27.200
 that what you

00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:27.660
 say

00:27:27.660 --> 00:27:28.880
 I accept

00:27:28.880 --> 00:27:29.640
 that what the

00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:30.360
 Bible says

00:27:30.360 --> 00:27:31.500
 is true

00:27:31.500 --> 00:27:33.000
 but belief

00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:33.780
 when we begin

00:27:33.780 --> 00:27:34.660
 to understand

00:27:34.660 --> 00:27:35.500
 the fullness

00:27:35.500 --> 00:27:36.480
 of the biblical

00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:37.840
 concept of belief

00:27:37.840 --> 00:27:38.700
 that belief

00:27:38.700 --> 00:27:39.180
 is more

00:27:39.180 --> 00:27:39.600
 than just

00:27:39.600 --> 00:27:40.080
 acceptance

00:27:40.080 --> 00:27:40.860
 of information

00:27:40.860 --> 00:27:43.080
 that belief

00:27:43.080 --> 00:27:43.740
 in biblical

00:27:43.740 --> 00:27:44.200
 terms

00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:44.660
 yes

00:27:44.660 --> 00:27:45.780
 is to believe

00:27:45.780 --> 00:27:46.720
 accurately

00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:47.560
 who the Bible

00:27:47.560 --> 00:27:48.120
 tells us

00:27:48.120 --> 00:27:48.860
 that who Jesus

00:27:48.860 --> 00:27:49.240
 is

00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:50.100
 and what Jesus

00:27:50.100 --> 00:27:50.680
 has done

00:27:50.680 --> 00:27:51.740
 you have to

00:27:51.740 --> 00:27:52.580
 understand

00:27:52.580 --> 00:27:53.580
 the biblical

00:27:53.580 --> 00:27:54.480
 narrative

00:27:54.480 --> 00:27:55.340
 of the life

00:27:55.340 --> 00:27:55.820
 of Christ

00:27:55.820 --> 00:27:56.880
 and who he is

00:27:56.880 --> 00:27:57.860
 but the belief

00:27:57.860 --> 00:27:58.720
 doesn't end there

00:27:58.720 --> 00:27:59.540
 it's a belief

00:27:59.540 --> 00:28:00.640
 that changes you

00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:01.380
 it's a belief

00:28:01.380 --> 00:28:02.140
 that brings you

00:28:02.140 --> 00:28:02.900
 to repentance

00:28:02.900 --> 00:28:03.800
 it's a belief

00:28:03.800 --> 00:28:04.580
 that brings you

00:28:04.580 --> 00:28:05.720
 to submission

00:28:05.720 --> 00:28:06.780
 it's a belief

00:28:06.780 --> 00:28:07.540
 that works

00:28:07.540 --> 00:28:08.180
 in you

00:28:08.180 --> 00:28:09.020
 so that in

00:28:09.020 --> 00:28:09.740
 this belief

00:28:09.740 --> 00:28:10.420
 in the power

00:28:10.420 --> 00:28:11.180
 of the Holy Spirit

00:28:11.180 --> 00:28:11.840
 that we receive

00:28:11.840 --> 00:28:12.860
 that what happens

00:28:12.860 --> 00:28:13.300
 in us

00:28:13.300 --> 00:28:14.300
 is change

00:28:14.300 --> 00:28:15.360
 within us

00:28:15.360 --> 00:28:17.320
 so that drives

00:28:17.320 --> 00:28:18.040
 our obedience

00:28:18.040 --> 00:28:19.920
 to him

00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:23.160
 it's like we all

00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:24.000
 believe

00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:26.020
 that if we were

00:28:26.020 --> 00:28:27.320
 to see a bear

00:28:27.320 --> 00:28:30.000
 in nature

00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:32.700
 that that bear

00:28:32.700 --> 00:28:34.620
 could kill you

00:28:34.620 --> 00:28:36.620
 hopefully

00:28:36.620 --> 00:28:36.760
 hopefully

00:28:36.760 --> 00:28:37.680
 if you're ever

00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:38.940
 in that environment

00:28:38.940 --> 00:28:41.120
 where you see

00:28:41.120 --> 00:28:41.700
 a bear

00:28:41.700 --> 00:28:43.060
 in nature

00:28:43.060 --> 00:28:45.240
 not at a zoo

00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:47.580
 but like 15 feet

00:28:47.580 --> 00:28:48.420
 from you

00:28:48.420 --> 00:28:49.260
 as you eat

00:28:49.260 --> 00:28:50.440
 cotton candy

00:28:50.440 --> 00:28:50.800
 right

00:28:50.800 --> 00:28:53.200
 that that belief

00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:54.560
 does something

00:28:54.560 --> 00:28:56.100
 that belief

00:28:56.100 --> 00:28:57.000
 creates

00:28:57.000 --> 00:28:57.940
 something

00:28:57.940 --> 00:28:59.500
 that that belief

00:28:59.500 --> 00:29:00.580
 activates

00:29:00.580 --> 00:29:02.360
 something in you

00:29:02.360 --> 00:29:03.280
 to cause

00:29:03.280 --> 00:29:04.420
 a change

00:29:04.420 --> 00:29:05.560
 and a response

00:29:05.560 --> 00:29:06.060
 in you

00:29:06.060 --> 00:29:08.600
 I think the

00:29:08.600 --> 00:29:09.300
 difficult thing

00:29:09.300 --> 00:29:10.780
 for us

00:29:10.780 --> 00:29:11.420
 with the gospel

00:29:11.420 --> 00:29:12.960
 I think the

00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:13.520
 difficult thing

00:29:13.520 --> 00:29:14.120
 for us

00:29:14.120 --> 00:29:15.460
 in Jesus Christ

00:29:15.460 --> 00:29:16.940
 is that we

00:29:16.940 --> 00:29:17.940
 want to align

00:29:17.940 --> 00:29:19.100
 yes and amen

00:29:19.100 --> 00:29:20.260
 with the factual

00:29:20.260 --> 00:29:21.120
 information

00:29:21.120 --> 00:29:22.360
 of Jesus

00:29:22.360 --> 00:29:25.220
 without

00:29:25.220 --> 00:29:28.160
 the response

00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:30.680
 that is demanded

00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:33.060
 today

00:29:33.060 --> 00:29:35.340
 would your response

00:29:35.340 --> 00:29:36.500
 to Jesus

00:29:36.500 --> 00:29:38.360
 be more

00:29:38.360 --> 00:29:39.820
 than intellectual

00:29:39.820 --> 00:29:40.440
 belief

00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:42.700
 would your response

00:29:42.700 --> 00:29:43.540
 to Jesus

00:29:43.540 --> 00:29:45.480
 be the biblical

00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:46.300
 belief

00:29:46.300 --> 00:29:48.680
 through the power

00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:49.720
 of the Holy Spirit

00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:51.240
 in repentance

00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:51.820
 and submission

00:29:51.820 --> 00:29:52.440
 before him

00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:54.480
 draws you

00:29:54.480 --> 00:29:55.160
 into a loving

00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:56.440
 relationship

00:29:56.440 --> 00:29:57.000
 with him

00:29:57.000 --> 00:30:00.000
 the next we see

00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:01.860
 in this encounter

00:30:01.860 --> 00:30:03.480
 that the shepherds

00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:04.640
 have with the angels

00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:06.340
 is this song

00:30:06.340 --> 00:30:06.900
 of praise

00:30:06.900 --> 00:30:09.520
 you see in verse 14

00:30:09.520 --> 00:30:12.420
 glory to God

00:30:12.420 --> 00:30:13.580
 in the highest

00:30:13.580 --> 00:30:15.800
 and on earth

00:30:15.800 --> 00:30:16.400
 peace

00:30:16.400 --> 00:30:18.420
 among those

00:30:18.420 --> 00:30:19.740
 with whom

00:30:19.740 --> 00:30:21.080
 he is pleased

00:30:21.080 --> 00:30:23.180
 this simple

00:30:23.180 --> 00:30:24.420
 one line

00:30:24.420 --> 00:30:26.260
 song of praise

00:30:26.260 --> 00:30:28.180
 sung over

00:30:28.180 --> 00:30:28.960
 and over

00:30:28.960 --> 00:30:29.540
 again

00:30:29.540 --> 00:30:31.120
 by a multitude

00:30:31.120 --> 00:30:32.380
 of angels

00:30:32.380 --> 00:30:34.240
 who have lit up

00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:35.120
 the night sky

00:30:35.120 --> 00:30:37.640
 glory to God

00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:38.320
 in the highest

00:30:38.320 --> 00:30:40.240
 and on earth

00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:40.820
 peace

00:30:40.820 --> 00:30:42.660
 among those

00:30:42.660 --> 00:30:43.860
 with whom

00:30:43.860 --> 00:30:45.180
 he is pleased

00:30:45.180 --> 00:30:47.220
 as the sovereign

00:30:47.220 --> 00:30:47.720
 God

00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:50.060
 sets his

00:30:50.060 --> 00:30:51.040
 sovereign plan

00:30:51.040 --> 00:30:52.540
 and his

00:30:52.540 --> 00:30:53.460
 sovereign purposes

00:30:53.460 --> 00:30:54.280
 into motion

00:30:54.280 --> 00:30:56.080
 we see the

00:30:56.080 --> 00:30:56.720
 declaration

00:30:56.720 --> 00:30:58.620
 of the angels

00:30:58.620 --> 00:31:00.760
 of the song

00:31:00.760 --> 00:31:01.760
 that he has

00:31:01.760 --> 00:31:02.760
 set into them

00:31:02.760 --> 00:31:04.380
 and we begin

00:31:04.380 --> 00:31:05.220
 to understand

00:31:05.220 --> 00:31:06.940
 that on this

00:31:06.940 --> 00:31:07.840
 first

00:31:07.840 --> 00:31:08.840
 Christmas

00:31:08.840 --> 00:31:11.580
 the song

00:31:11.580 --> 00:31:12.480
 to be declared

00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:13.900
 was the song

00:31:13.900 --> 00:31:14.360
 of God

00:31:14.360 --> 00:31:16.500
 it's a glory

00:31:16.500 --> 00:31:18.280
 to God

00:31:18.280 --> 00:31:20.060
 in the highest

00:31:20.060 --> 00:31:21.940
 you see

00:31:21.940 --> 00:31:22.460
 the message

00:31:22.460 --> 00:31:23.200
 was what

00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:23.940
 was for

00:31:23.940 --> 00:31:24.860
 you

00:31:24.860 --> 00:31:26.520
 the message

00:31:26.520 --> 00:31:27.340
 is what

00:31:27.340 --> 00:31:28.040
 was for

00:31:28.040 --> 00:31:28.520
 me

00:31:28.520 --> 00:31:30.000
 the message

00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:30.760
 is what

00:31:30.760 --> 00:31:31.320
 was for

00:31:31.320 --> 00:31:32.300
 the world

00:31:32.300 --> 00:31:33.960
 but the praise

00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:34.440
 isn't

00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:34.860
 will owe

00:31:34.860 --> 00:31:35.840
 good us

00:31:35.840 --> 00:31:38.700
 the praise

00:31:38.700 --> 00:31:39.000
 is owed

00:31:39.000 --> 00:31:39.560
 to the goodness

00:31:39.560 --> 00:31:40.140
 of God

00:31:40.140 --> 00:31:42.380
 that in this

00:31:42.380 --> 00:31:42.760
 what we

00:31:42.760 --> 00:31:43.800
 what we see

00:31:43.800 --> 00:31:44.780
 is the hope

00:31:44.780 --> 00:31:45.880
 that is found

00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:46.740
 the reminder

00:31:46.740 --> 00:31:47.900
 of the sovereign

00:31:47.900 --> 00:31:48.400
 holy

00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:49.640
 powerful God

00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:50.920
 that this story

00:31:50.920 --> 00:31:52.380
 the story

00:31:52.380 --> 00:31:53.040
 of Christmas

00:31:53.040 --> 00:31:55.000
 is told

00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:56.800
 not because

00:31:56.800 --> 00:31:57.960
 of our goodness

00:31:57.960 --> 00:31:59.740
 but because

00:31:59.740 --> 00:32:00.400
 of his grace

00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:02.700
 that the story

00:32:02.700 --> 00:32:03.660
 that unfolds

00:32:03.660 --> 00:32:04.440
 this night

00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:05.100
 the story

00:32:05.100 --> 00:32:05.980
 promised from

00:32:05.980 --> 00:32:06.980
 prophets of old

00:32:06.980 --> 00:32:07.620
 the story

00:32:07.620 --> 00:32:08.440
 that we've clung

00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:09.260
 to and hold

00:32:09.260 --> 00:32:10.040
 to for years

00:32:10.040 --> 00:32:11.060
 that not once

00:32:11.060 --> 00:32:11.820
 has happened

00:32:11.820 --> 00:32:12.840
 or taken place

00:32:12.840 --> 00:32:13.620
 because you

00:32:13.620 --> 00:32:14.420
 and I deserve

00:32:14.420 --> 00:32:15.040
 this event

00:32:15.040 --> 00:32:15.660
 that would happen

00:32:15.660 --> 00:32:16.340
 on this night

00:32:16.340 --> 00:32:19.160
 but it's because

00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:19.780
 a holy

00:32:19.780 --> 00:32:21.620
 good God

00:32:21.620 --> 00:32:24.920
 of grace

00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:27.440
 puts his plan

00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:28.080
 into motion

00:32:28.080 --> 00:32:30.220
 and in this

00:32:30.220 --> 00:32:32.180
 and in the

00:32:32.180 --> 00:32:32.640
 joy

00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:34.440
 of the season

00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:36.700
 and in the

00:32:36.700 --> 00:32:37.220
 joy

00:32:37.220 --> 00:32:38.460
 of every

00:32:38.460 --> 00:32:38.980
 season

00:32:38.980 --> 00:32:41.480
 there's glory

00:32:41.480 --> 00:32:41.940
 to God

00:32:41.940 --> 00:32:43.540
 glory

00:32:43.540 --> 00:32:44.040
 to God

00:32:44.040 --> 00:32:45.780
 glory

00:32:45.780 --> 00:32:46.300
 to God

00:32:46.300 --> 00:32:47.340
 in the

00:32:47.340 --> 00:32:47.860
 highest

00:32:47.860 --> 00:32:50.080
 Bible

00:32:50.080 --> 00:32:50.880
 continues on

00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:51.320
 the angels

00:32:51.320 --> 00:32:52.380
 continue to sing

00:32:52.380 --> 00:32:54.180
 and they say

00:32:54.180 --> 00:32:55.120
 and on earth

00:32:55.120 --> 00:32:55.840
 peace

00:32:55.840 --> 00:32:57.820
 that doesn't

00:32:57.820 --> 00:32:58.440
 fit great

00:32:58.440 --> 00:32:59.000
 on a lot

00:32:59.000 --> 00:32:59.260
 of our

00:32:59.260 --> 00:33:00.040
 Christmas cards

00:33:00.040 --> 00:33:01.160
 the phrase

00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:01.460
 that we're

00:33:01.460 --> 00:33:02.040
 most familiar

00:33:02.040 --> 00:33:02.640
 with right

00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:03.480
 is peace

00:33:03.480 --> 00:33:04.120
 on earth

00:33:04.120 --> 00:33:05.980
 the declaration

00:33:05.980 --> 00:33:06.860
 in the song

00:33:06.860 --> 00:33:07.440
 that they sing

00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:08.440
 glory to God

00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:09.060
 in the highest

00:33:09.060 --> 00:33:09.780
 and on earth

00:33:09.780 --> 00:33:10.360
 peace

00:33:10.360 --> 00:33:11.720
 peace on earth

00:33:11.720 --> 00:33:13.780
 the irony

00:33:13.780 --> 00:33:15.820
 the historical

00:33:15.820 --> 00:33:16.420
 irony

00:33:16.420 --> 00:33:17.380
 of that statement

00:33:17.380 --> 00:33:19.420
 this region

00:33:19.420 --> 00:33:20.420
 of the world

00:33:20.420 --> 00:33:21.820
 where peace

00:33:21.820 --> 00:33:22.440
 on earth

00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:23.120
 is promised

00:33:23.120 --> 00:33:24.060
 where peace

00:33:24.060 --> 00:33:24.900
 on earth

00:33:24.900 --> 00:33:26.000
 is fulfilled

00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:27.860
 that since

00:33:27.860 --> 00:33:29.340
 2,000 years

00:33:29.340 --> 00:33:29.940
 before

00:33:29.940 --> 00:33:31.680
 and 2,000

00:33:31.680 --> 00:33:32.580
 years after

00:33:32.580 --> 00:33:34.400
 have been a

00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:34.840
 region

00:33:34.840 --> 00:33:36.320
 not filled

00:33:36.320 --> 00:33:37.740
 with peace

00:33:37.740 --> 00:33:39.820
 so when we

00:33:39.820 --> 00:33:40.340
 look at this

00:33:40.340 --> 00:33:41.360
 we look for the

00:33:41.360 --> 00:33:41.960
 different peace

00:33:41.960 --> 00:33:42.660
 we look for the

00:33:42.660 --> 00:33:43.480
 peace of God

00:33:43.480 --> 00:33:44.180
 we look for the

00:33:44.180 --> 00:33:45.380
 greatest peace

00:33:45.380 --> 00:33:46.040
 that could ever

00:33:46.040 --> 00:33:46.380
 come

00:33:46.380 --> 00:33:47.260
 the greatest peace

00:33:47.260 --> 00:33:48.060
 found in Christ

00:33:48.060 --> 00:33:49.180
 that in Christ

00:33:49.180 --> 00:33:50.000
 in this announcement

00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:51.020
 in this baby

00:33:51.020 --> 00:33:52.020
 born in a manger

00:33:52.020 --> 00:33:54.840
 that what we

00:33:54.840 --> 00:33:55.420
 see is peace

00:33:55.420 --> 00:33:56.220
 between God

00:33:56.220 --> 00:33:57.280
 and man

00:33:57.280 --> 00:33:59.580
 through the

00:33:59.580 --> 00:34:00.780
 blood of the

00:34:00.780 --> 00:34:01.160
 lamb

00:34:01.160 --> 00:34:03.620
 a treaty

00:34:03.620 --> 00:34:05.520
 has been made

00:34:05.520 --> 00:34:07.400
 that will never

00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:07.940
 be broken

00:34:07.940 --> 00:34:10.320
 that in the

00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:10.700
 heart

00:34:10.700 --> 00:34:11.840
 of rebels

00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:13.720
 and in the

00:34:13.720 --> 00:34:14.120
 heart

00:34:14.120 --> 00:34:15.300
 of enemies

00:34:15.300 --> 00:34:19.060
 love

00:34:19.060 --> 00:34:20.120
 has bridged

00:34:20.120 --> 00:34:22.260
 and peace

00:34:22.260 --> 00:34:22.960
 exists

00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:25.320
 we're not

00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:25.880
 at battle

00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:28.040
 with God

00:34:28.040 --> 00:34:29.880
 we're not

00:34:29.880 --> 00:34:30.900
 at war

00:34:30.900 --> 00:34:31.520
 with Him

00:34:31.520 --> 00:34:33.820
 that in

00:34:33.820 --> 00:34:34.840
 this child

00:34:34.840 --> 00:34:36.620
 literally

00:34:36.620 --> 00:34:37.500
 what laid

00:34:37.500 --> 00:34:38.660
 in the

00:34:38.660 --> 00:34:39.100
 manger

00:34:39.100 --> 00:34:41.000
 embodied

00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:42.320
 by a baby

00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:43.740
 is the

00:34:43.740 --> 00:34:44.700
 very essence

00:34:44.700 --> 00:34:45.860
 of peace

00:34:45.860 --> 00:34:48.180
 spiritual

00:34:48.180 --> 00:34:48.820
 peace

00:34:48.820 --> 00:34:50.520
 peace

00:34:50.520 --> 00:34:51.180
 for today

00:34:51.180 --> 00:34:55.580
 peace

00:34:55.580 --> 00:34:55.920
 that cannot

00:34:55.920 --> 00:34:56.300
 be taken

00:34:56.300 --> 00:34:56.960
 from us

00:34:56.960 --> 00:34:58.420
 peace

00:34:58.420 --> 00:34:58.680
 for the

00:34:58.680 --> 00:34:58.980
 future

00:34:58.980 --> 00:35:02.920
 and one

00:35:02.920 --> 00:35:03.220
 day

00:35:03.220 --> 00:35:05.220
 one day

00:35:05.220 --> 00:35:06.640
 Christ

00:35:06.640 --> 00:35:07.600
 will return

00:35:07.600 --> 00:35:09.680
 and one

00:35:09.680 --> 00:35:10.080
 day

00:35:10.080 --> 00:35:11.480
 there'll be

00:35:11.480 --> 00:35:11.920
 one more

00:35:11.920 --> 00:35:12.320
 battle

00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:14.420
 and in

00:35:14.420 --> 00:35:15.100
 that moment

00:35:15.100 --> 00:35:16.980
 all the

00:35:16.980 --> 00:35:17.680
 evil of

00:35:17.680 --> 00:35:18.320
 the world

00:35:18.320 --> 00:35:19.380
 will be

00:35:19.380 --> 00:35:19.820
 defeated

00:35:19.820 --> 00:35:22.200
 and peace

00:35:22.200 --> 00:35:23.940
 will reign

00:35:23.940 --> 00:35:25.040
 forever

00:35:25.040 --> 00:35:27.220
 the last

00:35:27.220 --> 00:35:27.740
 thing the

00:35:27.740 --> 00:35:28.480
 angels say

00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:29.020
 here in

00:35:29.020 --> 00:35:29.720
 this moment

00:35:29.720 --> 00:35:32.080
 is that on

00:35:32.080 --> 00:35:32.700
 earth peace

00:35:32.700 --> 00:35:33.760
 with those

00:35:33.760 --> 00:35:35.000
 whom He

00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:35.620
 is pleased

00:35:35.620 --> 00:35:36.080
 other

00:35:36.080 --> 00:35:36.740
 translations

00:35:36.740 --> 00:35:37.420
 will say

00:35:37.420 --> 00:35:38.720
 and goodwill

00:35:38.720 --> 00:35:40.080
 towards men

00:35:40.080 --> 00:35:42.320
 that in

00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:42.840
 this

00:35:42.840 --> 00:35:44.500
 that the

00:35:44.500 --> 00:35:45.120
 pleasure

00:35:45.120 --> 00:35:47.020
 of God

00:35:47.020 --> 00:35:48.400
 is found

00:35:48.400 --> 00:35:50.500
 in His

00:35:50.500 --> 00:35:50.880
 heart

00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:52.340
 that we

00:35:52.340 --> 00:35:53.240
 are saved

00:35:53.240 --> 00:35:54.060
 and moved

00:35:54.060 --> 00:35:56.020
 the goodwill

00:35:56.020 --> 00:35:57.380
 that we get

00:35:57.380 --> 00:35:59.020
 the goodwill

00:35:59.020 --> 00:35:59.900
 that we know

00:35:59.900 --> 00:36:01.440
 the goodwill

00:36:01.440 --> 00:36:02.000
 that we

00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:03.300
 experience

00:36:03.300 --> 00:36:05.300
 is found

00:36:05.300 --> 00:36:06.960
 when He moves

00:36:06.960 --> 00:36:07.440
 us

00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:08.660
 you see

00:36:08.660 --> 00:36:08.900
 the Bible

00:36:08.900 --> 00:36:09.360
 tells us

00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:09.880
 that before

00:36:09.880 --> 00:36:10.700
 Christ

00:36:10.700 --> 00:36:11.560
 before this

00:36:11.560 --> 00:36:12.000
 baby

00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:12.540
 before this

00:36:12.540 --> 00:36:13.060
 Savior

00:36:13.060 --> 00:36:13.640
 before this

00:36:13.640 --> 00:36:14.180
 Messiah

00:36:14.180 --> 00:36:15.560
 who would

00:36:15.560 --> 00:36:15.940
 die on a

00:36:15.940 --> 00:36:16.280
 cross

00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:16.800
 and raise

00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:18.000
 for eternal

00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:18.420
 life

00:36:18.420 --> 00:36:19.820
 that in

00:36:19.820 --> 00:36:20.200
 this

00:36:20.200 --> 00:36:20.720
 of what we

00:36:20.720 --> 00:36:21.060
 find

00:36:21.060 --> 00:36:21.520
 of what we

00:36:21.520 --> 00:36:21.740
 see

00:36:21.740 --> 00:36:22.000
 is that

00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:22.480
 before that

00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:22.760
 we were

00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:23.200
 we were

00:36:23.200 --> 00:36:23.540
 guilty

00:36:23.540 --> 00:36:24.320
 and what

00:36:24.320 --> 00:36:24.740
 do guilty

00:36:24.740 --> 00:36:24.980
 get

00:36:24.980 --> 00:36:25.280
 guilty

00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:25.540
 get

00:36:25.540 --> 00:36:25.920
 punished

00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:27.000
 you see

00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:27.500
 we serve

00:36:27.500 --> 00:36:28.460
 a just

00:36:28.460 --> 00:36:28.920
 God

00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:29.820
 we serve

00:36:29.820 --> 00:36:30.500
 a righteous

00:36:30.500 --> 00:36:31.000
 God

00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:31.640
 who cannot

00:36:31.640 --> 00:36:32.420
 ignore sin

00:36:32.420 --> 00:36:33.580
 and you and I

00:36:33.580 --> 00:36:34.140
 every single

00:36:34.140 --> 00:36:34.560
 one of us

00:36:34.560 --> 00:36:35.320
 are found dead

00:36:35.320 --> 00:36:36.340
 in our trespasses

00:36:36.340 --> 00:36:36.860
 because we are

00:36:36.860 --> 00:36:37.500
 guilty of our

00:36:37.500 --> 00:36:37.700
 sin

00:36:37.700 --> 00:36:39.680
 and the guilt

00:36:39.680 --> 00:36:40.600
 of our sin

00:36:40.600 --> 00:36:42.340
 the punishment

00:36:42.340 --> 00:36:43.200
 of our sin

00:36:43.200 --> 00:36:43.980
 is what we

00:36:43.980 --> 00:36:44.280
 deserve

00:36:44.280 --> 00:36:44.720
 but Jesus

00:36:44.720 --> 00:36:45.100
 Christ

00:36:45.100 --> 00:36:46.200
 took the

00:36:46.200 --> 00:36:46.580
 punishment

00:36:46.580 --> 00:36:47.740
 for your

00:36:47.740 --> 00:36:48.180
 sin

00:36:48.180 --> 00:36:49.480
 and for

00:36:49.480 --> 00:36:50.160
 my sin

00:36:50.160 --> 00:36:51.660
 and now

00:36:51.660 --> 00:36:52.120
 we're not

00:36:52.120 --> 00:36:52.780
 just guilty

00:36:52.780 --> 00:36:53.320
 that someone

00:36:53.320 --> 00:36:53.780
 else paid

00:36:53.780 --> 00:36:54.280
 the price

00:36:54.280 --> 00:36:54.800
 but He

00:36:54.800 --> 00:36:56.220
 moves us

00:36:56.220 --> 00:36:57.320
 from guilty

00:36:57.320 --> 00:36:57.900
 to now

00:36:57.900 --> 00:36:58.640
 innocent

00:36:58.640 --> 00:37:00.640
 and it's

00:37:00.640 --> 00:37:01.100
 not just

00:37:01.100 --> 00:37:01.520
 that He

00:37:01.520 --> 00:37:02.420
 paid the

00:37:02.420 --> 00:37:02.800
 price

00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:03.180
 but it's

00:37:03.180 --> 00:37:03.500
 that we

00:37:03.500 --> 00:37:04.200
 get freedom

00:37:04.200 --> 00:37:06.660
 we move

00:37:06.660 --> 00:37:07.240
 from guilty

00:37:07.240 --> 00:37:07.640
 to now

00:37:07.640 --> 00:37:07.880
 we're

00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:08.240
 innocent

00:37:08.240 --> 00:37:08.580
 that we're

00:37:08.580 --> 00:37:08.980
 found in

00:37:08.980 --> 00:37:09.720
 Christ

00:37:09.720 --> 00:37:10.500
 we're washed

00:37:10.500 --> 00:37:11.220
 we're made

00:37:11.220 --> 00:37:11.560
 new

00:37:11.560 --> 00:37:12.140
 we're made

00:37:12.140 --> 00:37:12.480
 clean

00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:12.800
 but the

00:37:12.800 --> 00:37:13.080
 beauty

00:37:13.080 --> 00:37:13.640
 of this

00:37:13.640 --> 00:37:13.980
 is it

00:37:13.980 --> 00:37:14.360
 continues

00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:14.860
 to go

00:37:14.860 --> 00:37:15.420
 and the

00:37:15.420 --> 00:37:16.220
 good will

00:37:16.220 --> 00:37:17.160
 towards men

00:37:17.160 --> 00:37:17.600
 that it

00:37:17.600 --> 00:37:18.020
 doesn't just

00:37:18.020 --> 00:37:18.340
 happen

00:37:18.340 --> 00:37:18.980
 that God

00:37:18.980 --> 00:37:19.300
 when He

00:37:19.300 --> 00:37:19.940
 saves us

00:37:19.940 --> 00:37:20.600
 then doesn't

00:37:20.600 --> 00:37:21.240
 just release

00:37:21.240 --> 00:37:21.500
 us

00:37:21.500 --> 00:37:21.860
 and say

00:37:21.860 --> 00:37:22.040
 alright

00:37:22.040 --> 00:37:22.240
 now

00:37:22.240 --> 00:37:23.160
 figure it

00:37:23.160 --> 00:37:23.420
 out on

00:37:23.420 --> 00:37:23.840
 your own

00:37:23.840 --> 00:37:24.160
 now

00:37:24.160 --> 00:37:24.600
 see what

00:37:24.600 --> 00:37:24.900
 you can

00:37:24.900 --> 00:37:25.180
 do

00:37:25.180 --> 00:37:25.580
 now

00:37:25.580 --> 00:37:26.000
 here

00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:26.200
 you

00:37:26.200 --> 00:37:26.420
 go

00:37:26.420 --> 00:37:26.780
 I

00:37:26.780 --> 00:37:27.020
 did

00:37:27.020 --> 00:37:27.300
 this

00:37:27.300 --> 00:37:27.580
 this

00:37:27.580 --> 00:37:27.700
 is

00:37:27.700 --> 00:37:27.920
 one

00:37:27.920 --> 00:37:28.220
 time

00:37:28.220 --> 00:37:28.560
 don't

00:37:28.560 --> 00:37:28.720
 look

00:37:28.720 --> 00:37:29.020
 for me

00:37:29.020 --> 00:37:29.320
 I'm

00:37:29.320 --> 00:37:29.440
 not

00:37:29.440 --> 00:37:29.660
 doing

00:37:29.660 --> 00:37:29.780
 it

00:37:29.780 --> 00:37:30.040
 again

00:37:30.040 --> 00:37:30.360
 no

00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:30.480
 no

00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:30.820
 the

00:37:30.820 --> 00:37:31.140
 beauty

00:37:31.140 --> 00:37:31.400
 and the

00:37:31.400 --> 00:37:31.580
 hope

00:37:31.580 --> 00:37:31.800
 of the

00:37:31.800 --> 00:37:32.100
 gospel

00:37:32.100 --> 00:37:32.440
 of what

00:37:32.440 --> 00:37:32.900
 we see

00:37:32.900 --> 00:37:33.340
 of what

00:37:33.340 --> 00:37:33.760
 is falling

00:37:33.760 --> 00:37:34.420
 and taking

00:37:34.420 --> 00:37:34.780
 place

00:37:34.780 --> 00:37:35.200
 in this

00:37:35.200 --> 00:37:35.500
 moment

00:37:35.500 --> 00:37:36.080
 is that we

00:37:36.080 --> 00:37:36.380
 move

00:37:36.380 --> 00:37:37.240
 from guilty

00:37:37.240 --> 00:37:38.100
 to innocent

00:37:38.100 --> 00:37:38.800
 and when we

00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:39.540
 become innocent

00:37:39.540 --> 00:37:40.220
 we become

00:37:40.220 --> 00:37:41.240
 family

00:37:41.240 --> 00:37:43.960
 and that in

00:37:43.960 --> 00:37:44.460
 family

00:37:44.460 --> 00:37:46.360
 in family

00:37:46.360 --> 00:37:46.660
 there's

00:37:46.660 --> 00:37:48.100
 the joy

00:37:48.100 --> 00:37:49.200
 and the

00:37:49.200 --> 00:37:49.800
 promise

00:37:49.800 --> 00:37:50.840
 and the

00:37:50.840 --> 00:37:51.140
 hope

00:37:51.140 --> 00:37:52.040
 of what's

00:37:52.040 --> 00:37:52.400
 there

00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:53.240
 and it's

00:37:53.240 --> 00:37:53.840
 an inheritance

00:37:53.840 --> 00:37:55.580
 it's an

00:37:55.580 --> 00:37:56.040
 inheritance

00:37:56.040 --> 00:37:58.360
 it's

00:37:58.360 --> 00:37:59.440
 an eternal

00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:00.780
 joining

00:38:00.780 --> 00:38:02.000
 together

00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:03.340
 of us

00:38:03.340 --> 00:38:04.480
 with God

00:38:04.480 --> 00:38:06.640
 and this

00:38:06.640 --> 00:38:07.060
 is what the

00:38:07.060 --> 00:38:07.420
 angels

00:38:07.420 --> 00:38:08.760
 declare

00:38:08.760 --> 00:38:10.880
 and then

00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:11.280
 lastly

00:38:11.280 --> 00:38:11.780
 we see

00:38:11.780 --> 00:38:13.480
 we've been

00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:14.080
 talking about

00:38:14.080 --> 00:38:15.660
 the faith

00:38:15.660 --> 00:38:16.260
 of

00:38:16.260 --> 00:38:17.520
 have been

00:38:17.520 --> 00:38:18.180
 these messages

00:38:18.180 --> 00:38:20.140
 the faith

00:38:20.140 --> 00:38:21.060
 of Zachariah

00:38:21.060 --> 00:38:22.740
 the faith

00:38:22.740 --> 00:38:23.360
 of Mary

00:38:23.360 --> 00:38:24.960
 the faith

00:38:24.960 --> 00:38:25.560
 of Joseph

00:38:25.560 --> 00:38:27.480
 and now

00:38:27.480 --> 00:38:28.640
 we see

00:38:28.640 --> 00:38:30.740
 the faith

00:38:30.740 --> 00:38:31.040
 of these

00:38:31.040 --> 00:38:31.560
 shepherds

00:38:31.560 --> 00:38:35.020
 uneducated

00:38:35.020 --> 00:38:37.420
 not schooled

00:38:37.420 --> 00:38:38.140
 in the law

00:38:38.140 --> 00:38:40.120
 maybe even

00:38:40.120 --> 00:38:40.920
 unfamiliar

00:38:40.920 --> 00:38:42.600
 with many

00:38:42.600 --> 00:38:42.840
 of the

00:38:42.840 --> 00:38:43.260
 teachings

00:38:43.260 --> 00:38:45.300
 but we

00:38:45.300 --> 00:38:45.700
 see

00:38:45.700 --> 00:38:47.220
 their faith

00:38:47.220 --> 00:38:48.260
 to their

00:38:48.260 --> 00:38:48.780
 obedience

00:38:48.780 --> 00:38:51.040
 their response

00:38:51.040 --> 00:38:52.160
 of

00:38:52.160 --> 00:38:53.300
 obedience

00:38:53.300 --> 00:38:55.220
 and put

00:38:55.220 --> 00:38:55.420
 yourself

00:38:55.420 --> 00:38:55.700
 on that

00:38:55.700 --> 00:38:55.960
 hill

00:38:55.960 --> 00:38:57.940
 of all

00:38:57.940 --> 00:38:58.400
 that you've

00:38:58.400 --> 00:38:58.780
 seen

00:38:58.780 --> 00:39:00.320
 of all

00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:01.000
 that you've

00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:01.440
 heard

00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:02.940
 and God's

00:39:02.940 --> 00:39:03.520
 word tells us

00:39:03.520 --> 00:39:04.020
 in Luke 2

00:39:04.020 --> 00:39:04.980
 15 and 16

00:39:04.980 --> 00:39:07.100
 when the

00:39:07.100 --> 00:39:07.720
 angels went

00:39:07.720 --> 00:39:08.060
 away

00:39:08.060 --> 00:39:09.420
 from them

00:39:09.420 --> 00:39:09.920
 into heaven

00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:11.620
 the shepherds

00:39:11.620 --> 00:39:12.140
 said to one

00:39:12.140 --> 00:39:12.460
 another

00:39:12.460 --> 00:39:14.040
 let us

00:39:14.040 --> 00:39:14.720
 go over

00:39:14.720 --> 00:39:15.700
 to Bethlehem

00:39:15.700 --> 00:39:17.140
 and see

00:39:17.140 --> 00:39:18.000
 I love this

00:39:18.000 --> 00:39:19.860
 because I don't

00:39:19.860 --> 00:39:20.180
 think their

00:39:20.180 --> 00:39:20.780
 minds could

00:39:20.780 --> 00:39:22.200
 wrap around

00:39:22.200 --> 00:39:22.620
 what they

00:39:22.620 --> 00:39:23.140
 just heard

00:39:23.140 --> 00:39:24.380
 and let

00:39:24.380 --> 00:39:25.020
 us see

00:39:25.020 --> 00:39:26.660
 this thing

00:39:26.660 --> 00:39:27.700
 that has

00:39:27.700 --> 00:39:28.080
 happened

00:39:28.080 --> 00:39:30.620
 which the

00:39:30.620 --> 00:39:31.080
 Lord

00:39:31.080 --> 00:39:32.560
 has made

00:39:32.560 --> 00:39:33.080
 known

00:39:33.080 --> 00:39:34.260
 to us

00:39:34.260 --> 00:39:35.820
 and they

00:39:35.820 --> 00:39:36.240
 went

00:39:36.240 --> 00:39:37.880
 with haste

00:39:37.880 --> 00:39:38.760
 and found

00:39:38.760 --> 00:39:39.460
 Mary

00:39:39.460 --> 00:39:40.880
 and Joseph

00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:42.020
 and the

00:39:42.020 --> 00:39:42.540
 baby

00:39:42.540 --> 00:39:43.820
 lying

00:39:43.820 --> 00:39:44.720
 in a

00:39:44.720 --> 00:39:45.100
 manger

00:39:45.100 --> 00:39:47.260
 I don't

00:39:47.260 --> 00:39:47.960
 think they

00:39:47.960 --> 00:39:48.680
 understood

00:39:48.680 --> 00:39:51.340
 let's

00:39:51.340 --> 00:39:52.560
 go see

00:39:52.560 --> 00:39:53.500
 this thing

00:39:53.500 --> 00:39:54.780
 that's

00:39:54.780 --> 00:39:55.140
 happened

00:39:55.140 --> 00:39:58.200
 they didn't

00:39:58.200 --> 00:39:59.640
 sit down

00:39:59.640 --> 00:40:00.100
 and go

00:40:00.100 --> 00:40:01.160
 alright

00:40:01.160 --> 00:40:01.600
 let's

00:40:01.600 --> 00:40:03.000
 let's pull

00:40:03.000 --> 00:40:03.540
 this together

00:40:03.540 --> 00:40:04.000
 Frank

00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:04.560
 what did

00:40:04.560 --> 00:40:05.140
 you hear

00:40:05.140 --> 00:40:06.240
 Ted

00:40:06.240 --> 00:40:06.500
 what's

00:40:06.500 --> 00:40:06.840
 going on

00:40:06.840 --> 00:40:07.440
 over there

00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:07.840
 right

00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:08.240
 like

00:40:08.240 --> 00:40:09.280
 what is

 meant

 you

00:42:15.820 --> 00:42:15.980

00:42:19.840 --> 00:42:19.920
 you

00:42:19.920 --> 00:42:20.060

 me

00:42:21.920 --> 00:42:23.540
 and

00:42:23.540 --> 00:42:23.880

00:42:23.880 --> 00:42:24.080
 Bible

00:42:24.080 --> 00:42:24.480
 says

00:42:24.480 --> 00:42:24.760
 that

00:42:24.760 --> 00:42:25.100
 this

00:42:25.100 --> 00:42:26.060
 guy

00:42:28.580 --> 00:42:28.680
 he

00:42:28.680 --> 00:42:29.080
 didn't

00:42:29.080 --> 00:42:30.520
 because

00:42:30.520 --> 00:42:30.780
 his

00:42:30.780 --> 00:42:31.200
 possessions

00:42:31.200 --> 00:42:31.460
 were

00:42:31.460 --> 00:42:31.780
 great

00:42:31.780 --> 00:42:33.540
 and

00:42:33.540 --> 00:42:33.640

00:42:33.640 --> 00:42:33.740
 he

00:42:33.740 --> 00:42:33.840
 went

00:42:33.840 --> 00:42:34.000
 away

00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:34.400
 sad

00:42:34.400 --> 00:42:36.200
 right

00:42:36.200 --> 00:42:37.660

00:42:45.340 --> 00:42:45.460
 think

00:42:45.460 --> 00:42:45.700
 about

00:42:49.000 --> 00:42:49.200
 discuss

00:42:49.200 --> 00:42:49.280
 it

00:42:49.280 --> 00:42:49.360
 with

00:42:49.360 --> 00:42:49.460
 our

00:42:49.460 --> 00:42:49.880
 spouse

00:42:51.280 --> 00:42:51.620
 out

00:42:51.620 --> 00:42:51.980
 what

00:42:51.980 --> 00:42:52.160
 it's

00:42:52.160 --> 00:42:52.280
 going

00:42:52.280 --> 00:42:52.480
 to

00:42:52.480 --> 00:42:53.520
 cost

00:49:18.280 --> 00:49:18.760
 Christ

00:49:18.760 --> 00:49:20.640
 and

00:49:20.640 --> 00:49:20.760
 if

00:49:20.760 --> 00:49:20.820
 you're

00:49:20.820 --> 00:49:20.900
 like

00:49:20.900 --> 00:49:21.060
 well

00:49:21.060 --> 00:49:21.360
 Bo

00:49:21.360 --> 00:49:21.540
 I'm

00:49:21.540 --> 00:49:21.940
 not

00:49:21.940 --> 00:49:22.100
 an

00:49:22.100 --> 00:49:22.560
 expert

00:49:22.560 --> 00:49:23.800
 in

00:49:23.800 --> 00:49:23.940
 what

00:49:23.940 --> 00:49:24.060
 the

00:49:24.060 --> 00:49:24.260
 Bible

00:49:24.260 --> 00:49:24.760
 says

00:49:24.760 --> 00:49:26.020
 what

00:49:26.020 --> 00:49:26.180
 if

00:49:26.180 --> 00:49:26.340
 they

00:49:26.340 --> 00:49:26.740
 ask

00:49:26.740 --> 00:49:26.880
 a

00:49:26.880 --> 00:49:27.320
 question

00:49:27.320 --> 00:49:27.540
 that

00:49:27.540 --> 00:49:27.680
 I

00:49:27.680 --> 00:49:27.960
 can't

00:49:27.960 --> 00:49:28.140
 give

00:49:28.140 --> 00:49:28.260
 an

00:49:28.260 --> 00:49:28.560
 answer

00:49:28.560 --> 00:49:28.900
 to

00:49:28.900 --> 00:49:30.000
 what

00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:30.160
 if

00:49:30.160 --> 00:49:30.320
 they

00:49:30.320 --> 00:49:30.660
 say

00:49:30.660 --> 00:49:31.020
 something

00:49:31.020 --> 00:49:31.380
 that's

00:49:31.380 --> 00:49:32.020
 confusing

00:49:32.020 --> 00:49:32.960
 what

00:49:32.960 --> 00:49:33.180
 if

00:49:33.180 --> 00:49:33.460
 they

00:49:33.460 --> 00:49:34.280
 reject

00:49:34.280 --> 00:49:34.780
 it

00:49:34.780 --> 00:49:37.520
 then

00:49:37.520 --> 00:49:37.660
 can

00:49:37.660 --> 00:49:37.780
 we

00:49:37.780 --> 00:49:38.100
 learn

00:49:38.100 --> 00:49:38.360
 from

00:49:38.360 --> 00:49:38.520
 the

00:49:38.520 --> 00:49:38.880
 faith

00:49:38.880 --> 00:49:39.620
 of

00:49:39.620 --> 00:49:39.800
 these

00:49:39.800 --> 00:49:40.260
 shepherds

00:49:40.260 --> 00:49:41.780
 can

00:49:41.780 --> 00:49:41.920
 we

00:49:41.920 --> 00:49:42.100
 just

00:49:42.100 --> 00:49:42.360
 go

00:49:42.360 --> 00:49:43.700
 and

00:49:43.700 --> 00:49:43.880
 can

00:49:43.880 --> 00:49:44.020
 we

00:49:44.020 --> 00:49:44.220
 just

00:49:44.220 --> 00:49:44.480
 tell

00:49:44.480 --> 00:49:45.740
 the

00:49:45.740 --> 00:49:46.200
 truth

00:49:46.200 --> 00:49:47.280
 of

00:49:47.280 --> 00:49:47.680
 God

00:49:47.680 --> 00:49:49.420
 through

00:49:49.420 --> 00:49:49.600
 the

00:49:49.600 --> 00:49:50.100
 power

00:49:50.100 --> 00:49:50.660
 of

00:49:50.660 --> 00:49:51.040
 God

00:49:51.040 --> 00:49:52.840
 that's

00:49:52.840 --> 00:49:53.640
 evidenced

00:49:53.640 --> 00:49:54.700
 in

00:49:54.700 --> 00:49:54.840
 the

00:49:54.840 --> 00:49:55.100
 life

00:49:55.100 --> 00:49:55.240
 of

00:49:55.240 --> 00:49:55.380
 your

00:49:55.380 --> 00:49:55.920

00:49:55.920 --> 00:49:58.580
 and

00:49:58.580 --> 00:49:58.700
 if

00:49:58.700 --> 00:49:58.840
 you're

00:49:58.840 --> 00:49:59.100
 asking

00:49:59.100 --> 00:49:59.460
 yourself

00:49:59.460 --> 00:49:59.780
 another

00:49:59.780 --> 00:50:00.240
 question

00:50:00.240 --> 00:50:00.480
 this

00:50:00.480 --> 00:50:00.820
 morning

00:50:00.820 --> 00:50:03.060
 but

00:50:03.060 --> 00:50:03.180
 I

00:50:03.180 --> 00:50:03.340
 don't

00:50:03.340 --> 00:50:03.660

00:50:04.300 --> 00:50:06.880
 well

00:50:06.880 --> 00:50:07.080

00:50:07.560 --> 00:50:08.080
 true

00:50:08.080 --> 00:50:09.800
 in

00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:10.180
 a

00:50:10.180 --> 00:50:10.500
 moment

00:50:10.500 --> 00:50:12.220
 the

00:50:12.220 --> 00:50:12.440
 worship

00:50:12.440 --> 00:50:12.680

00:50:22.420 --> 00:50:22.780
 you

00:50:22.780 --> 00:50:23.560
 don't
