00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.580
 Welcome to the Willow Ridge Sermons podcast.

00:00:12.120 --> 00:00:14.020
 We're so glad you chose to listen today.

00:00:14.440 --> 00:00:19.800
 In today's sermon, we look at the powerful story of Joseph in Genesis 44 and 45,

00:00:20.100 --> 00:00:23.280
 where forgiveness and reconciliation take center stage.

00:00:23.940 --> 00:00:28.220
 Joseph's journey reveals sacrificial love, humility, and a changed heart

00:00:28.220 --> 00:00:31.220
 as his family is reunited despite their past betrayal.

00:00:32.380 --> 00:00:36.880
 This story parallels God's ultimate act of forgiveness and redemption through Jesus Christ,

00:00:37.260 --> 00:00:42.180
 showing how sacrificial love, obedience, and humility lead to transformation and unity.

00:00:42.820 --> 00:00:45.540
 Listen as we reflect on the timeless truth of God's grace

00:00:45.540 --> 00:00:48.000
 and the healing power of forgiveness in our lives.

00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:49.300
 Thanks for listening.

00:00:58.220 --> 00:01:01.420
 Well, good morning.

00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:04.720
 I'm glad you're here with us today.

00:01:04.820 --> 00:01:09.060
 If you have your Bibles, and I hope you do, I want to invite you to join us in Genesis chapter 44.

00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:15.880
 We're going to look at chapter 44 and chapter 45 this morning as we continue on and wrap up in the next several weeks

00:01:15.880 --> 00:01:19.520
 what we've been studying for the last couple of years in Genesis.

00:01:20.320 --> 00:01:23.320
 If you're a first-time guest, I want to echo what Pastor Dave said.

00:01:23.540 --> 00:01:25.600
 I want to thank you for being here and for worshiping with us.

00:01:25.900 --> 00:01:29.420
 After the service is over with, my wife and I will be right back over here at this table.

00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:31.880
 We would love for you, if you don't mind, if you would just stop by,

00:01:32.140 --> 00:01:33.500
 we would love to shake your hand.

00:01:33.580 --> 00:01:35.080
 Thank you for being here, learning your name.

00:01:35.380 --> 00:01:37.840
 And if there's any questions that you have about Willow Ridge Church,

00:01:38.100 --> 00:01:39.720
 I would love to be able to answer those.

00:01:39.980 --> 00:01:41.860
 We would love to be able to answer those for you,

00:01:41.900 --> 00:01:46.120
 or at least point you in the right direction where we can get you with what you are looking for.

00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:48.160
 A bunch of wonderful things that are happening around here.

00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:51.180
 This was week two of our studies that we have.

00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:52.340
 I'm teaching one in here.

00:01:52.460 --> 00:01:57.500
 I know there's, I think, five others throughout our two buildings in the mornings at 9 a.m.

00:01:57.520 --> 00:01:58.700
 We'd love for you to be a part.

00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.060
 For some of them, it may be too late to jump in.

00:02:01.300 --> 00:02:05.880
 For mine, we're looking at the doctrine of angels and studying what does the Bible teach us about angels.

00:02:06.080 --> 00:02:09.140
 And so if you haven't gotten plugged into one but would like to,

00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:11.520
 you can come and be a part of what we're doing here.

00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:13.560
 We meet in the auditorium at 9 a.m.

00:02:13.940 --> 00:02:18.920
 And then we've got our youth that are upstairs meeting and then our kids meeting in the other building for discipleship.

00:02:19.140 --> 00:02:21.460
 Wonderful time to be here and to do that.

00:02:21.760 --> 00:02:25.160
 Listening to our announcements, I learned a couple things about us as a church, all right?

00:02:25.540 --> 00:02:28.500
 You know, it's that good time where God gives you the aha of who you are.

00:02:28.760 --> 00:02:31.960
 And so here's my big takeaway from us on all the announcements that we have.

00:02:32.220 --> 00:02:33.760
 Number one, we'd love to pray for you.

00:02:33.980 --> 00:02:35.700
 Number two, we love to eat, all right?

00:02:35.720 --> 00:02:37.300
 So we've got the dinner at the Knicks' house.

00:02:37.480 --> 00:02:39.520
 We've got the low country boil for the men's dinner.

00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:41.440
 We've got the low country boil for the women's dinner.

00:02:41.660 --> 00:02:43.820
 But I want to say I noticed something in that.

00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:46.260
 Anybody else notice what I noticed?

00:02:48.200 --> 00:02:49.520
 The men's was $35.

00:02:51.620 --> 00:02:52.820
 The women's was $20.

00:02:53.860 --> 00:02:54.720
 That's discrimination.

00:02:55.440 --> 00:02:56.980
 And that's wrong, all right?

00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.600
 Yeah, no, what it means is we're going to eat a whole lot more, fellas.

00:03:01.980 --> 00:03:03.740
 But you do want to be there.

00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:05.940
 The food, I've had it before.

00:03:06.020 --> 00:03:07.260
 It is going to be phenomenal.

00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:11.440
 But also, I've heard Robert's story.

00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:13.280
 I've heard Corrine's story.

00:03:14.040 --> 00:03:20.160
 And in spite of how good the fellowship will be, in spite of how good the food will be,

00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.600
 hearing what God has done in their lives will be phenomenal.

00:03:24.320 --> 00:03:25.780
 And so I want to encourage you to be there.

00:03:26.380 --> 00:03:28.020
 And I say this in all sincerity.

00:03:28.380 --> 00:03:31.280
 I want to encourage you, do not buy one ticket, all right?

00:03:31.760 --> 00:03:32.380
 Buy two.

00:03:32.940 --> 00:03:33.640
 Buy one for you.

00:03:33.720 --> 00:03:34.780
 Buy one for someone else.

00:03:35.300 --> 00:03:36.920
 Invite someone here, right?

00:03:36.940 --> 00:03:38.160
 This is not a bait and switch.

00:03:38.200 --> 00:03:40.520
 Like, you share with them, we're going to eat well.

00:03:40.880 --> 00:03:41.680
 Tell them what we're going to eat.

00:03:41.740 --> 00:03:47.600
 And then we're going to dive in and hear the story of how God has worked in the life of some people at our church.

00:03:47.600 --> 00:03:49.700
 And it's going to be phenomenal.

00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:51.200
 And I hope that you'll be here with us.

00:03:51.420 --> 00:03:56.260
 So as we get into Genesis, I do want to read 2 Corinthians 5.21.

00:03:58.100 --> 00:04:07.100
 For our sake, he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:09.120
 Would you pray with me?

00:04:11.220 --> 00:04:16.080
 God, I come to you this morning, Lord, and thank you for this wonderful privilege that we have here to gather with you.

00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:18.580
 To gather together.

00:04:19.880 --> 00:04:20.920
 To open up your word.

00:04:23.180 --> 00:04:25.840
 God, as we learn today, may we learn from you.

00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:33.520
 God, may you work and move in a powerful way in us and through us.

00:04:35.140 --> 00:04:38.360
 And Lord, if there's anyone here who does not know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior,

00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:41.680
 God, it's my prayer that today will be the day of their salvation.

00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:54.800
 God, if any part of this is of me, motivated by me, Lord, I pray that you would remove it and give us more of you so that you'll be glorified.

00:04:56.020 --> 00:04:56.980
 In Jesus' name we pray.

00:04:57.980 --> 00:04:58.280
 Amen.

00:04:58.880 --> 00:04:59.080
 Amen.

00:04:59.880 --> 00:05:05.920
 I've heard it said that the three most beautiful words in the English language are the words, I love you.

00:05:06.740 --> 00:05:07.180
 I think it's true.

00:05:07.260 --> 00:05:08.840
 I think there's a lot of truth to that.

00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:10.160
 I love you.

00:05:11.020 --> 00:05:12.800
 There's beauty in that.

00:05:13.260 --> 00:05:15.280
 There's emotion in that.

00:05:16.260 --> 00:05:22.200
 I've also heard it said that the three most difficult words to say in the English language are,

00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:24.000
 I am sorry.

00:05:25.320 --> 00:05:27.640
 And I think there's some truth to that as well.

00:05:28.620 --> 00:05:35.180
 But as I was preparing this morning, as I was going to be here, I was thinking about going through my message over and over and over again.

00:05:35.220 --> 00:05:39.880
 I thought, you know, I don't really know, though, that those are the three most difficult words to say,

00:05:40.440 --> 00:05:44.920
 or the three most difficult words maybe better to mean in the English language.

00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:54.400
 I think a lot of times there's motivations that cause us, that create us, a true sincerity in who we are to say, I am sorry.

00:05:56.420 --> 00:06:09.340
 I would argue, at least in my perspective, that in trying to love the Lord the best I can while still struggling with the aspects of sin that are still in my life,

00:06:09.340 --> 00:06:17.080
 that I believe that the three most difficult words to say and to truly mean are, I forgive you.

00:06:18.620 --> 00:06:19.540
 I forgive you.

00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:27.080
 I mean, to say I am sorry and to mean it is a place of vulnerability.

00:06:28.280 --> 00:06:34.320
 But I think a place of greater vulnerability is to look at someone who has hurt you,

00:06:34.460 --> 00:06:43.020
 to look at someone who has betrayed you, and simply to say, and to mean, and to choose.

00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:45.560
 I forgive you.

00:06:46.380 --> 00:06:47.320
 I forgive you.

00:06:48.440 --> 00:06:51.720
 Well, here's a story I want to tell.

00:06:52.640 --> 00:06:55.840
 If you know me, you know I love a whiteboard.

00:06:57.220 --> 00:06:58.640
 I've got whiteboards in my office.

00:06:58.740 --> 00:07:00.480
 I use a whiteboard in here on Sunday morning.

00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:04.000
 And Joel Van Ham is kind of a joke around here.

00:07:04.320 --> 00:07:08.780
 I'll make this not truthful statement, but I just use it jokingly.

00:07:09.080 --> 00:07:12.380
 Like, every good idea that has ever existed started on a whiteboard, right?

00:07:12.440 --> 00:07:13.920
 Like, just, that's how I function.

00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:15.760
 So I whiteboard lots of things.

00:07:16.220 --> 00:07:19.120
 And sometimes I'll make the statement that, you know, I wish I had a whiteboard.

00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:22.940
 So Joel found this little whiteboard.

00:07:24.460 --> 00:07:27.000
 And I've been trying to think of a way to use this on Sunday morning.

00:07:27.960 --> 00:07:28.840
 So here we go.

00:07:29.620 --> 00:07:33.960
 Second favorite thing that I like to do, and I've been corrected and I've responded to this,

00:07:34.080 --> 00:07:38.280
 is I love to tell what I think are good, comical, funny stories about my family

00:07:38.280 --> 00:07:41.540
 in a way that we laugh together and not at one another.

00:07:42.860 --> 00:07:44.800
 And right about now, I'd like to share one of those stories.

00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:50.140
 It's a story that I got permission to share this morning, and it's a story for some of you.

00:07:50.200 --> 00:07:52.620
 If you've been around here before, you've heard it before.

00:07:53.740 --> 00:07:58.960
 But I think the way that I would like to tell this story would maybe communicate a side of the story

00:07:58.960 --> 00:08:02.880
 that I haven't thought through until earlier this morning.

00:08:04.400 --> 00:08:08.320
 And then Grayson, those are Aaron and I's twins, our son and our daughter,

00:08:08.460 --> 00:08:10.440
 that God greatly blessed us with.

00:08:10.960 --> 00:08:12.000
 They'll be turning 17.

00:08:12.180 --> 00:08:13.160
 Man, that's hard for me to say.

00:08:13.460 --> 00:08:19.260
 They're turning 17 in February, and it just feels like yesterday this happened.

00:08:20.140 --> 00:08:24.560
 Before we moved to the Lexington area to come up here to Willow Ridge Church,

00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:27.360
 we lived in Aiken, South Carolina, and we had this table.

00:08:28.840 --> 00:08:29.400
 We had this table.

00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:30.320
 So I just heard some of you laugh.

00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:31.100
 You know where I'm going with this.

00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:34.460
 And it was our kitchen table.

00:08:35.040 --> 00:08:36.820
 And there wasn't anything special about this table.

00:08:36.980 --> 00:08:38.080
 It was secondhand.

00:08:38.160 --> 00:08:38.940
 Someone gave it to us.

00:08:38.940 --> 00:08:41.320
 But it was our first kitchen table.

00:08:42.860 --> 00:08:47.260
 And one day, I come, and after being at work at the church that I was working at the time,

00:08:48.460 --> 00:08:49.660
 my family had been home for a while,

00:08:50.500 --> 00:08:55.720
 and I find something carved into the table.

00:08:57.160 --> 00:08:59.060
 I've done stuff like that before when I was a kid.

00:08:59.460 --> 00:09:02.860
 It didn't surprise me, but where is it going to end?

00:09:03.880 --> 00:09:08.400
 Like, is this where the life of crime starts for my child?

00:09:09.460 --> 00:09:13.200
 Sitting there before a judge, and your honor, when I was four years old,

00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:24.260
 I took the dark turn as Grayson had carved a G into our kitchen table.

00:09:25.100 --> 00:09:26.640
 How did I know it was Grayson?

00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:30.220
 I knew it was Grayson because my name doesn't start with a G.

00:09:31.160 --> 00:09:32.540
 Aaron's name doesn't start with a G.

00:09:33.260 --> 00:09:34.700
 Emma's name doesn't start with a G.

00:09:35.140 --> 00:09:38.320
 And I don't think anyone was getting ready to write Grace on the table.

00:09:39.380 --> 00:09:47.220
 So I bring my little son, adorable man, at that time, like, big-eared, chubby-cheek, Grayson, right?

00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:48.440
 Just loved him, right?

00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:51.320
 And I said, son, why did you do this?

00:09:52.500 --> 00:09:53.660
 He said, daddy, I didn't do that.

00:09:54.820 --> 00:09:56.720
 And I said, son, you better not lie to me.

00:09:57.800 --> 00:09:59.160
 Why did you do this?

00:10:00.280 --> 00:10:01.340
 Daddy, I didn't do it.

00:10:02.800 --> 00:10:17.480
 And we went on this argument between the two of us as I'm trying to get my four-year-old son to admit that he's lying and that he did this.

00:10:18.780 --> 00:10:24.660
 And I said things like, if you would just own it, if you would just admit to it, if you would just say I'm sorry,

00:10:24.860 --> 00:10:30.000
 then your punishment will be less than if you stand here and lie to me.

00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:34.060
 And he said, but daddy, I didn't do it.

00:10:35.460 --> 00:10:38.420
 And so that night, he got a punishment.

00:10:40.800 --> 00:10:44.340
 Fast forward four years later.

00:10:45.760 --> 00:10:49.840
 We're living in Lexington.

00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:54.460
 I guess the statute of limitations had expired.

00:10:56.520 --> 00:11:08.080
 And it had become a conversation around our table as we ate every night and as we saw this G carved into our table.

00:11:10.020 --> 00:11:21.840
 And I said, one of us said, it might have been me, it might have been Aaron, Grayson, son, why would you never own the fact that you did that?

00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:25.600
 And Grayson said, because I didn't do it.

00:11:27.060 --> 00:11:38.800
 And about that time, my adorable, pretty, innocent little daughter looks at me.

00:11:40.020 --> 00:11:41.620
 With laughter in her eyes.

00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:46.300
 And says, I did it.

00:11:48.340 --> 00:11:56.920
 And I asked her the question, Emma, why would you carve a G in our table?

00:11:58.460 --> 00:12:00.280
 And she said, well, I didn't plan on it.

00:12:01.380 --> 00:12:04.240
 So I was doing my homework and I got bored.

00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:08.680
 And I took, I think she had eaten her snack.

00:12:09.860 --> 00:12:10.920
 And I took my fork.

00:12:12.540 --> 00:12:14.080
 And I carved an E in the table.

00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:17.500
 And then I heard you come home.

00:12:21.260 --> 00:12:25.220
 And she said, so I did that.

00:12:29.880 --> 00:12:32.760
 And then I got up and I left the table.

00:12:33.560 --> 00:12:34.900
 And I didn't say a word.

00:12:36.820 --> 00:12:42.740
 Now Grayson, at this time, is like, are you kidding me?

00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:44.700
 Are you kidding me?

00:12:44.820 --> 00:12:54.040
 For years, I've walked with the shame, the scarlet letter of G engraved onto the table right before me.

00:12:54.040 --> 00:12:58.900
 For years, I've had to listen over and over and over again.

00:12:59.140 --> 00:12:59.480
 For years.

00:12:59.620 --> 00:13:00.820
 Like, he went Old Testament.

00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:01.920
 He tore his clothes.

00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:02.860
 He put on a sack.

00:13:03.040 --> 00:13:04.400
 He covered himself in ash.

00:13:04.820 --> 00:13:06.400
 This is all what he's doing at this time.

00:13:08.400 --> 00:13:10.340
 And we've joked about it.

00:13:13.040 --> 00:13:18.580
 I said this morning that I am sorry is difficult to say.

00:13:19.860 --> 00:13:20.940
 But I don't know.

00:13:22.220 --> 00:13:25.360
 I think that I forgive you is more difficult.

00:13:26.820 --> 00:13:28.620
 So here's the turn on this story.

00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:35.440
 Typically, I tell this story with the lesson or the illustration of your lies will find you out.

00:13:36.500 --> 00:13:39.660
 But son, here's what I'm going to tell you.

00:13:40.740 --> 00:13:44.220
 Thirteen years later, you need to look at your sister.

00:13:46.660 --> 00:13:54.000
 And in spite of all of her lies, in spite of all her deception, and you need to say, I forgive you.

00:13:59.040 --> 00:14:00.120
 No, no, later.

00:14:02.300 --> 00:14:04.460
 But right now, you need to look at me.

00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:10.280
 And you need to say to me, Dad, you punished me unfairly.

00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:12.920
 Dad, you wronged me with what you did.

00:14:13.580 --> 00:14:15.140
 You need to say, I forgive you.

00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:25.900
 More importantly, the true person that I think inflicted the wrong in this.

00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:34.460
 So I need to look at your mother, who stood by, who did not say anything to me.

00:14:35.700 --> 00:14:37.360
 Oh, I'll stop now, right?

00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:42.400
 Oh, thank you all for letting me do that.

00:14:44.420 --> 00:14:46.260
 We're going to look at forgiveness this morning.

00:14:47.540 --> 00:14:51.700
 And I think there's some funny truths that we can draw from this.

00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:58.440
 But we're going to look at a passage of Scripture in Genesis 44 and 45.

00:14:58.740 --> 00:15:02.020
 And I promise to the best of my ability, laugh, insert, joke there.

00:15:02.100 --> 00:15:05.020
 We're going to work through two chapters as fast as we possibly can.

00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:07.140
 But here's what I know.

00:15:08.500 --> 00:15:16.580
 Every single one of us in here has had or has a person in their life right now.

00:15:18.020 --> 00:15:21.280
 That God's Word tells us we need to forgive.

00:15:22.820 --> 00:15:23.820
 And it's difficult.

00:15:25.340 --> 00:15:26.900
 And it's hard.

00:15:28.500 --> 00:15:29.260
 There's hurt.

00:15:30.340 --> 00:15:31.240
 There's pain.

00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:33.400
 There's emotions.

00:15:34.500 --> 00:15:35.460
 There's memories.

00:15:37.760 --> 00:15:41.260
 And we're continuing on in the life of Joseph.

00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:47.800
 And I apologize if you haven't been able to be here with us and if you're unfamiliar with the story of Joseph.

00:15:47.920 --> 00:15:49.500
 If I could just kind of sum up.

00:15:49.820 --> 00:15:52.900
 Joseph, highly dysfunctional in his family.

00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:56.100
 His brothers deceived his dad.

00:15:56.520 --> 00:15:57.440
 Dad thinks he's dead.

00:15:57.500 --> 00:15:58.500
 They sold him into slavery.

00:15:58.820 --> 00:16:00.440
 Tons of bad things happened to Joseph.

00:16:01.300 --> 00:16:04.420
 And this is way under explaining what's happened.

00:16:06.040 --> 00:16:08.260
 But Joseph, God works through it all.

00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:11.680
 And Joseph, he's sold into slavery into Egypt.

00:16:12.180 --> 00:16:20.060
 And Joseph goes from slave to imprisoned to now second in charge in Egypt.

00:16:21.660 --> 00:16:24.420
 At the time, the largest power in the world.

00:16:25.780 --> 00:16:28.380
 And God uses all the bad that has happened.

00:16:30.180 --> 00:16:34.080
 But his family has wronged him.

00:16:34.160 --> 00:16:35.860
 His family has betrayed him.

00:16:35.900 --> 00:16:37.240
 His family has hurt him.

00:16:38.300 --> 00:16:39.260
 And now there's a famine.

00:16:40.560 --> 00:16:48.740
 And his brothers who have been sent to buy food so that their family can survive have to come to Joseph.

00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:49.940
 But they don't know that it's Joseph.

00:16:51.980 --> 00:16:56.720
 And Joseph has been interacting with them but hiding his identity.

00:16:58.620 --> 00:17:03.920
 He's been testing his brothers to find out who they really are.

00:17:05.280 --> 00:17:08.520
 And he sent his brothers away but his brothers have come back.

00:17:09.800 --> 00:17:12.540
 And his brothers have followed all the things that he's asked them to do.

00:17:12.600 --> 00:17:14.300
 And they think that he's this ruler.

00:17:15.860 --> 00:17:21.500
 And we continue on in Genesis 44 and verse 41 where he continues to test his brothers.

00:17:22.940 --> 00:17:25.860
 So I'm going to read and we'll pause, explain, read, pause, explain.

00:17:25.940 --> 00:17:29.140
 And then we'll get to our application here at the end of these.

00:17:29.900 --> 00:17:30.340
 So it says,

00:17:30.340 --> 00:17:35.320
 Then he commanded the steward of his house,

00:17:35.740 --> 00:17:38.400
 Fill the men's sacks with food as much as they can carry

00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:41.860
 and put each man's money in the mouth of his sack

00:17:41.860 --> 00:17:46.060
 and put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest.

00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:52.560
 This is Benjamin, this is Joseph's brother by his father and his mother.

00:17:52.700 --> 00:17:55.220
 There's multiple mothers, same father for these brothers,

00:17:55.340 --> 00:17:57.400
 but this is his brother Benjamin.

00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:02.540
 With his money for the grain and he did as Joseph told him.

00:18:03.120 --> 00:18:07.800
 And as soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away with their donkeys.

00:18:08.300 --> 00:18:10.380
 They had gone only a short distance from the city.

00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:12.760
 And now Joseph said to his steward,

00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:14.240
 Up, follow after the men.

00:18:14.420 --> 00:18:16.440
 And when you overtake them, say to them,

00:18:16.520 --> 00:18:18.360
 Why have you repaid evil for good?

00:18:18.580 --> 00:18:20.820
 Is it not from this that my Lord drinks

00:18:20.820 --> 00:18:23.160
 and by this that he practices divination?

00:18:23.540 --> 00:18:25.860
 You have done evil in doing this.

00:18:26.080 --> 00:18:27.540
 So let's pause here for a second.

00:18:27.860 --> 00:18:32.040
 So Joseph's brothers come because their brother Simeon's there.

00:18:32.140 --> 00:18:32.980
 They get Simeon.

00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:35.220
 They bring their brother Benjamin.

00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:37.860
 They're returning Benjamin back to their dad.

00:18:38.060 --> 00:18:39.880
 So they're coming back like family intact,

00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:42.960
 minus Joseph from 20 years ago that they think is dead.

00:18:43.040 --> 00:18:44.300
 They don't know what's going on with that.

00:18:44.540 --> 00:18:46.020
 But they're leaving with food.

00:18:46.360 --> 00:18:50.460
 They're excited that they have everything that they came for, right?

00:18:50.520 --> 00:18:51.940
 Their bellies are going to be full.

00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:53.560
 Their lives are going to be saved.

00:18:53.840 --> 00:18:54.960
 Their father's not going to mourn.

00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:56.120
 They didn't lose another one.

00:18:56.120 --> 00:18:58.620
 Man, everything is good.

00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:03.080
 But Joseph will test the hearts of his brothers

00:19:03.080 --> 00:19:05.080
 in the midst of a crisis

00:19:05.080 --> 00:19:08.400
 to see if he can find out who they really are.

00:19:09.980 --> 00:19:12.360
 And so what he does is he takes this cup

00:19:12.360 --> 00:19:14.500
 that would have been special,

00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:16.360
 it would have been valuable,

00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:18.020
 and he says,

00:19:18.260 --> 00:19:21.260
 Hey, plant this in the bag

00:19:21.260 --> 00:19:23.760
 of the youngest brother, Benjamin,

00:19:23.760 --> 00:19:26.760
 and then I'll send you to catch them

00:19:26.760 --> 00:19:29.800
 and we can bring them back.

00:19:31.600 --> 00:19:32.880
 So verse 6,

00:19:32.940 --> 00:19:34.080
 we read verse 6 through 13.

00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:36.520
 When he overtook them,

00:19:36.600 --> 00:19:38.880
 he spoke to them these words.

00:19:40.320 --> 00:19:41.140
 They said to him,

00:19:41.220 --> 00:19:43.900
 Why does my Lord speak such words as these?

00:19:44.080 --> 00:19:46.300
 Far be it from your servants to do such a thing.

00:19:47.020 --> 00:19:50.380
 Behold, the money that we found in the mouths of our sacks

00:19:50.380 --> 00:19:52.660
 we brought back to you from the land of Canaan.

00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:56.180
 How could we then steal silver or gold

00:19:56.180 --> 00:19:57.720
 from your Lord's house?

00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:01.120
 Whichever of your servants is found with it shall die,

00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:05.900
 and we also will be my Lord's servants.

00:20:05.980 --> 00:20:08.220
 And he said to them,

00:20:08.940 --> 00:20:10.200
 Let it be as you say,

00:20:10.500 --> 00:20:12.280
 for who is found with it shall be my servant,

00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:15.020
 and the rest of you shall be innocent.

00:20:15.140 --> 00:20:17.120
 And then each man quickly lowered his sack to the ground,

00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:18.260
 and each man opened his sack.

00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:20.980
 And he searched, beginning with the eldest

00:20:20.980 --> 00:20:22.720
 and ending with the youngest.

00:20:23.300 --> 00:20:27.740
 And the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.

00:20:28.840 --> 00:20:30.200
 Then they tore their clothes,

00:20:30.980 --> 00:20:32.760
 and every man loaded his donkey,

00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:33.860
 and they returned to the city.

00:20:34.700 --> 00:20:36.020
 So when confronted,

00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:38.060
 the brothers so confident

00:20:38.060 --> 00:20:39.360
 that they've done nothing wrong.

00:20:40.500 --> 00:20:42.880
 So confident that they are in the right.

00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:46.020
 So confident that they have the right motivations,

00:20:46.180 --> 00:20:46.820
 the right heart,

00:20:47.060 --> 00:20:48.180
 the right expectations,

00:20:48.540 --> 00:20:49.100
 that they said,

00:20:49.260 --> 00:20:51.460
 Look, look, see what you can find.

00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:53.840
 And if you can find it,

00:20:54.320 --> 00:20:56.260
 then the one who you find it with,

00:20:56.520 --> 00:20:59.320
 kill him and make the rest of us your slaves.

00:21:00.980 --> 00:21:04.100
 But they found it.

00:21:05.140 --> 00:21:08.400
 It was planted with Benjamin.

00:21:10.040 --> 00:21:11.680
 And then it says that

00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:16.920
 they tore their clothes.

00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:19.960
 And that may seem weird,

00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:21.700
 but here's what they're doing.

00:21:22.900 --> 00:21:23.740
 They're mourning.

00:21:26.100 --> 00:21:27.000
 They're mourning.

00:21:28.220 --> 00:21:30.360
 We're starting to see some change in the brothers.

00:21:31.260 --> 00:21:32.400
 But before,

00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:34.720
 they didn't care about their father

00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:36.440
 in dealing with Joseph.

00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:38.540
 20 years ago,

00:21:38.580 --> 00:21:39.540
 they didn't care about dad.

00:21:39.660 --> 00:21:41.480
 They didn't care about Joseph.

00:21:41.700 --> 00:21:43.760
 They just cared about themselves.

00:21:44.980 --> 00:21:45.980
 But now,

00:21:47.120 --> 00:21:48.620
 now they care.

00:21:50.820 --> 00:21:51.580
 I want you to think about this

00:21:51.580 --> 00:21:52.800
 as we read this story.

00:21:54.080 --> 00:21:55.760
 When someone wrongs you,

00:21:57.760 --> 00:21:59.580
 what do you want?

00:22:03.060 --> 00:22:04.620
 Do you want gratification?

00:22:07.020 --> 00:22:09.880
 Do you want your justice?

00:22:12.460 --> 00:22:14.640
 Or do you want God to do in them

00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:17.500
 what God's going to do in them?

00:22:19.900 --> 00:22:21.440
 But what if it takes 20 years?

00:22:24.040 --> 00:22:26.540
 Let's read 14 through 17.

00:22:28.860 --> 00:22:30.500
 When Judah and his brothers

00:22:30.500 --> 00:22:31.880
 came to Joseph's house,

00:22:32.980 --> 00:22:33.840
 he was still there.

00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:37.640
 They fell before him to the ground.

00:22:39.220 --> 00:22:40.240
 Joseph said to them,

00:22:40.860 --> 00:22:42.940
 what deed is this that you have done?

00:22:43.960 --> 00:22:46.580
 Do you not know that a man like me

00:22:46.580 --> 00:22:49.140
 can indeed practice divination?

00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:50.720
 Let's just really quick.

00:22:50.740 --> 00:22:51.800
 I'm going to pause here really quick.

00:22:51.900 --> 00:22:52.320
 I'm going to make sure

00:22:52.320 --> 00:22:53.040
 I get some clarity of this.

00:22:53.520 --> 00:22:54.940
 This was a pagan practice.

00:22:55.900 --> 00:22:57.320
 Joseph is a follower of God.

00:22:58.160 --> 00:22:59.600
 No one believes that Joseph

00:22:59.600 --> 00:23:00.860
 is practicing this,

00:23:01.360 --> 00:23:03.040
 but they believe that he's saying this

00:23:03.040 --> 00:23:04.140
 because this is what Egyptians

00:23:04.140 --> 00:23:04.800
 would have done.

00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:05.860
 It's part of the test.

00:23:06.020 --> 00:23:07.460
 Okay, continue on verse 16.

00:23:08.940 --> 00:23:09.720
 And Judah said,

00:23:11.300 --> 00:23:12.680
 what shall we say to my Lord?

00:23:13.260 --> 00:23:14.500
 What shall we speak?

00:23:15.060 --> 00:23:16.420
 How can we clear ourselves?

00:23:17.900 --> 00:23:20.720
 God has found out the guilt

00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:21.940
 of your servants.

00:23:23.080 --> 00:23:26.420
 Behold, we are my Lord's servants,

00:23:27.280 --> 00:23:29.620
 both we and he also

00:23:29.620 --> 00:23:32.140
 in whose name the cup has been found.

00:23:33.220 --> 00:23:34.100
 But he said,

00:23:34.980 --> 00:23:37.240
 far be it from me that I should do so.

00:23:38.080 --> 00:23:39.900
 Only the man in whose hand

00:23:39.900 --> 00:23:41.580
 the cup was found

00:23:41.580 --> 00:23:42.860
 shall be my servant.

00:23:42.980 --> 00:23:43.700
 But as for you,

00:23:44.120 --> 00:23:45.300
 go in peace to your father.

00:23:47.300 --> 00:23:48.540
 Let's pause here.

00:23:48.820 --> 00:23:50.060
 They come back to Joseph

00:23:50.060 --> 00:23:51.260
 and look at their reaction.

00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:56.200
 They didn't demand justice.

00:23:57.520 --> 00:23:58.860
 We must have been framed.

00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:01.680
 We did not do this.

00:24:02.700 --> 00:24:04.900
 We didn't have access to this.

00:24:05.700 --> 00:24:07.060
 This could not have happened.

00:24:07.180 --> 00:24:08.060
 Here are the reasons.

00:24:09.800 --> 00:24:12.000
 Instead, they demanded mercy.

00:24:13.600 --> 00:24:16.220
 Instead, they humbled themselves.

00:24:18.900 --> 00:24:19.420
 Why?

00:24:21.380 --> 00:24:21.820
 Why?

00:24:21.820 --> 00:24:21.900
 Why?

00:24:24.600 --> 00:24:25.780
 Were they guilty?

00:24:27.280 --> 00:24:27.800
 Yes.

00:24:29.860 --> 00:24:30.340
 Yes.

00:24:32.980 --> 00:24:34.200
 Not of the cup.

00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:37.480
 But they're guilty.

00:24:39.980 --> 00:24:41.200
 You know, the Bible tells us

00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:42.540
 that our sin before God,

00:24:44.060 --> 00:24:45.860
 that we may not have done that,

00:24:46.600 --> 00:24:48.600
 but we've done enough.

00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:51.100
 And we're guilty.

00:24:52.940 --> 00:24:54.160
 I want you to look at

00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:56.180
 Judah's words.

00:24:57.380 --> 00:25:00.960
 Listen to Judah's words.

00:25:02.560 --> 00:25:04.320
 What shall we say to my Lord?

00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:05.420
 What shall we speak?

00:25:05.620 --> 00:25:06.900
 Or how can we clear ourselves?

00:25:07.520 --> 00:25:08.460
 He's talking to Joseph.

00:25:08.560 --> 00:25:09.840
 Joseph is the Lord he's talking to.

00:25:11.460 --> 00:25:12.420
 Then look what he says.

00:25:14.700 --> 00:25:17.960
 God has found out the guilt

00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:19.640
 of your servant.

00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:23.280
 Here's what I think

00:25:23.280 --> 00:25:24.500
 is happening in Judah.

00:25:25.740 --> 00:25:27.540
 He doesn't know it's Joseph,

00:25:28.700 --> 00:25:30.700
 but he knows,

00:25:31.600 --> 00:25:32.900
 man, we've done worse than a cop.

00:25:35.020 --> 00:25:36.240
 We've done worse than a cop.

00:25:37.620 --> 00:25:38.880
 And in this moment,

00:25:39.960 --> 00:25:41.900
 right here in this,

00:25:43.100 --> 00:25:45.200
 man, God is dealing

00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:48.880
 with our sin.

00:25:52.760 --> 00:25:53.280
 Now,

00:25:53.620 --> 00:25:56.660
 I don't know what's been happening.

00:25:57.460 --> 00:25:59.080
 The Bible doesn't tell us

00:25:59.080 --> 00:26:02.460
 in the heart of Judah

00:26:02.460 --> 00:26:04.020
 for 20 years.

00:26:05.560 --> 00:26:06.740
 But I imagine

00:26:06.740 --> 00:26:08.500
 that walk

00:26:08.500 --> 00:26:10.220
 back and forth

00:26:10.220 --> 00:26:11.920
 from Cana

00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:14.040
 to Egypt.

00:26:15.620 --> 00:26:17.780
 I can only imagine

00:26:17.780 --> 00:26:19.540
 that every time

00:26:19.540 --> 00:26:20.780
 that he walked by the area

00:26:20.780 --> 00:26:22.660
 where he sold his brother,

00:26:22.800 --> 00:26:24.300
 where he deceived his father.

00:26:25.840 --> 00:26:28.000
 Man, God's doing something.

00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:30.020
 God's doing something.

00:26:31.120 --> 00:26:33.100
 And while it seems unfair

00:26:33.100 --> 00:26:34.080
 on our end

00:26:34.080 --> 00:26:34.760
 to look at it

00:26:34.760 --> 00:26:34.900
 and say,

00:26:35.080 --> 00:26:36.400
 well, it took 20 years.

00:26:39.740 --> 00:26:41.000
 But there's probably

00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:43.880
 about 20 years of work

00:26:43.880 --> 00:26:46.460
 that God wanted to do

00:26:46.460 --> 00:26:48.420
 in the life of Judah.

00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:51.940
 My Joseph.

00:26:53.980 --> 00:26:56.880
 what if he,

00:26:57.300 --> 00:26:58.600
 would he respond

00:26:58.600 --> 00:26:59.080
 in anger?

00:27:00.840 --> 00:27:01.740
 What would happen?

00:27:04.380 --> 00:27:05.420
 God needed to work

00:27:05.420 --> 00:27:05.840
 in Judah.

00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:07.820
 God needed to work

00:27:07.820 --> 00:27:08.320
 in Joseph.

00:27:09.920 --> 00:27:10.780
 Verse 18.

00:27:13.320 --> 00:27:14.820
 Then Judah went up to him

00:27:14.820 --> 00:27:15.280
 and said,

00:27:17.100 --> 00:27:17.740
 O my Lord,

00:27:17.840 --> 00:27:18.800
 please let your servant

00:27:18.800 --> 00:27:20.580
 speak a word

00:27:20.580 --> 00:27:21.420
 in my Lord's ear

00:27:21.420 --> 00:27:23.400
 and let not

00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:24.100
 your anger

00:27:24.100 --> 00:27:24.980
 burn against

00:27:24.980 --> 00:27:25.640
 your servant

00:27:25.640 --> 00:27:27.380
 for you

00:27:27.380 --> 00:27:28.920
 are like Pharaoh himself.

00:27:30.320 --> 00:27:31.640
 My Lord asked

00:27:31.640 --> 00:27:32.720
 his servants

00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:33.580
 saying,

00:27:33.820 --> 00:27:34.700
 have you a father

00:27:34.700 --> 00:27:35.180
 or brother?

00:27:36.020 --> 00:27:36.780
 And we said

00:27:36.780 --> 00:27:37.320
 to my Lord,

00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:38.260
 we have a father,

00:27:38.380 --> 00:27:38.980
 an old man

00:27:38.980 --> 00:27:40.280
 and a young brother

00:27:40.280 --> 00:27:41.520
 and the child

00:27:41.520 --> 00:27:42.840
 of his old age.

00:27:43.220 --> 00:27:44.480
 My brother is dead.

00:27:46.780 --> 00:27:47.360
 He's talking

00:27:47.360 --> 00:27:48.180
 about Joseph here.

00:27:50.280 --> 00:27:51.320
 And he alone

00:27:51.320 --> 00:27:52.140
 is left

00:27:52.140 --> 00:27:53.440
 of his mother's

00:27:53.440 --> 00:27:53.900
 children

00:27:53.900 --> 00:27:55.340
 and his father

00:27:55.340 --> 00:27:55.980
 loves him.

00:27:57.060 --> 00:27:57.740
 Then you said

00:27:57.740 --> 00:27:58.400
 to your servants,

00:27:58.560 --> 00:27:59.180
 bring him down

00:27:59.180 --> 00:27:59.500
 to me

00:27:59.500 --> 00:28:00.320
 that I may set

00:28:00.320 --> 00:28:01.420
 my eyes on him.

00:28:02.260 --> 00:28:02.680
 And we said

00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:03.160
 to my Lord,

00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:04.000
 the boy cannot

00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:04.940
 leave his father

00:28:04.940 --> 00:28:05.600
 for if he should

00:28:05.600 --> 00:28:06.220
 leave his father,

00:28:06.300 --> 00:28:07.080
 his father would die.

00:28:07.080 --> 00:28:07.920
 Then you said

00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:08.700
 to your servants,

00:28:08.980 --> 00:28:10.040
 unless your youngest

00:28:10.040 --> 00:28:11.000
 brother comes

00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:11.840
 down with you,

00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:12.780
 you shall not

00:28:12.780 --> 00:28:13.820
 see my face again.

00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:17.440
 And we went back

00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:18.180
 to your servant,

00:28:18.800 --> 00:28:19.440
 my father.

00:28:20.020 --> 00:28:20.580
 We told him

00:28:20.580 --> 00:28:21.580
 the words of my Lord.

00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:23.020
 And when our father

00:28:23.020 --> 00:28:23.840
 said go again

00:28:23.840 --> 00:28:24.360
 and buy us

00:28:24.360 --> 00:28:24.960
 a little food,

00:28:25.580 --> 00:28:26.460
 we said we cannot

00:28:26.460 --> 00:28:26.900
 go down

00:28:26.900 --> 00:28:27.480
 if our youngest

00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:29.080
 brother goes

00:28:29.080 --> 00:28:29.660
 with us.

00:28:30.280 --> 00:28:31.300
 Then we will go.

00:28:31.900 --> 00:28:32.580
 But we cannot

00:28:32.580 --> 00:28:34.120
 see the man's face

00:28:34.120 --> 00:28:35.180
 unless our youngest

00:28:35.180 --> 00:28:36.140
 brother is with us.

00:28:36.680 --> 00:28:37.600
 Then your servant,

00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:38.140
 my father,

00:28:38.260 --> 00:28:38.920
 said to us,

00:28:38.980 --> 00:28:40.040
 you know that

00:28:40.040 --> 00:28:40.860
 my wife bore me

00:28:40.860 --> 00:28:41.440
 two sons.

00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:43.500
 One left me

00:28:43.500 --> 00:28:45.240
 and I said surely

00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:46.380
 he has been torn

00:28:46.380 --> 00:28:46.860
 to pieces

00:28:46.860 --> 00:28:48.020
 and I have never

00:28:48.020 --> 00:28:49.400
 seen him since.

00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:50.400
 If you take

00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:51.500
 this one also

00:28:51.500 --> 00:28:52.560
 from me

00:28:52.560 --> 00:28:53.700
 and harm happens

00:28:53.700 --> 00:28:54.120
 to him,

00:28:54.340 --> 00:28:54.960
 you will bring

00:28:54.960 --> 00:28:56.100
 down my gray hairs

00:28:56.100 --> 00:28:56.940
 and evil

00:28:56.940 --> 00:28:57.660
 to Sheol.

00:28:58.800 --> 00:28:59.660
 Really quickly,

00:28:59.820 --> 00:29:00.860
 here's Judah

00:29:00.860 --> 00:29:00.980
 recounts.

00:29:00.980 --> 00:29:01.760
 recounts.

00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:03.440
 And if you haven't

00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:03.620
 been here,

00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:05.040
 go and read

00:29:05.040 --> 00:29:06.320
 Genesis 42

00:29:06.320 --> 00:29:07.300
 and 43.

00:29:08.060 --> 00:29:09.060
 He recounts

00:29:09.060 --> 00:29:09.900
 this interaction

00:29:09.900 --> 00:29:10.660
 that they've had

00:29:10.660 --> 00:29:11.980
 with Joseph

00:29:11.980 --> 00:29:13.700
 where Joseph

00:29:13.700 --> 00:29:13.980
 has said,

00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:14.460
 this is what

00:29:14.460 --> 00:29:15.100
 you must do

00:29:15.100 --> 00:29:17.340
 and how they've

00:29:17.340 --> 00:29:18.100
 obeyed

00:29:18.100 --> 00:29:18.900
 and done

00:29:18.900 --> 00:29:19.780
 all that Joseph

00:29:19.780 --> 00:29:20.360
 had asked them

00:29:20.360 --> 00:29:20.740
 to do.

00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:22.680
 They come before him

00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:23.100
 and they said,

00:29:23.260 --> 00:29:23.860
 this is the appeal,

00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:24.480
 this is the heart

00:29:24.480 --> 00:29:25.020
 of our father,

00:29:25.260 --> 00:29:25.820
 these are the things

00:29:25.820 --> 00:29:26.460
 that are going on.

00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:28.500
 Judah lays it

00:29:28.500 --> 00:29:29.580
 all out.

00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:35.340
 But again,

00:29:35.500 --> 00:29:35.680
 Judah,

00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:38.180
 Judah talks about

00:29:38.180 --> 00:29:39.300
 the life of his dad.

00:29:41.780 --> 00:29:44.100
 He says,

00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:46.440
 you don't get it,

00:29:46.600 --> 00:29:46.840
 man.

00:29:48.060 --> 00:29:49.640
 If I don't bring

00:29:49.640 --> 00:29:51.320
 Benjamin back,

00:29:52.700 --> 00:29:53.900
 it's going to kill him.

00:29:55.820 --> 00:29:56.820
 He's going to kill

00:29:56.820 --> 00:29:57.440
 my dad.

00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:01.900
 So take me.

00:30:04.920 --> 00:30:05.900
 Take me.

00:30:07.320 --> 00:30:07.960
 Don't take my,

00:30:08.380 --> 00:30:10.300
 don't take my brother.

00:30:11.280 --> 00:30:12.120
 Don't take my dad.

00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:16.900
 Verse 30.

00:30:19.140 --> 00:30:20.000
 Now therefore,

00:30:20.180 --> 00:30:21.700
 as soon as I come

00:30:21.700 --> 00:30:22.400
 to your servant,

00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:22.900
 my father,

00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:23.320
 and the boy

00:30:23.320 --> 00:30:24.040
 is not with us,

00:30:24.040 --> 00:30:25.180
 then his life,

00:30:25.280 --> 00:30:25.740
 as his life

00:30:25.740 --> 00:30:26.160
 is bound up

00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:26.980
 in this boy's life,

00:30:27.660 --> 00:30:28.760
 as soon as he sees

00:30:28.760 --> 00:30:29.560
 that the boy

00:30:29.560 --> 00:30:30.280
 is not with us,

00:30:30.320 --> 00:30:31.080
 he will die

00:30:31.080 --> 00:30:32.460
 and your servants

00:30:32.460 --> 00:30:33.820
 will bring down

00:30:33.820 --> 00:30:35.220
 the gray hairs

00:30:35.220 --> 00:30:35.960
 of your servant,

00:30:36.120 --> 00:30:36.620
 our father,

00:30:36.840 --> 00:30:37.900
 with sorrow to Shul.

00:30:39.020 --> 00:30:39.900
 For your servant

00:30:39.900 --> 00:30:41.000
 became a pledge

00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:42.140
 of safety for the boy

00:30:42.140 --> 00:30:43.060
 to my father,

00:30:43.180 --> 00:30:43.400
 saying,

00:30:43.560 --> 00:30:44.560
 if I do not bring him

00:30:44.560 --> 00:30:45.300
 back to you,

00:30:45.520 --> 00:30:46.440
 then I shall bear

00:30:46.440 --> 00:30:46.920
 the blame

00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:47.760
 before my father

00:30:47.760 --> 00:30:48.460
 all my life.

00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:49.140
 Now therefore,

00:30:49.280 --> 00:30:50.320
 please let your servant

00:30:50.320 --> 00:30:51.900
 remain instead of the boy

00:30:51.900 --> 00:30:52.520
 as a servant

00:30:52.520 --> 00:30:53.100
 to my Lord

00:30:53.100 --> 00:30:53.760
 and let the boy

00:30:53.760 --> 00:30:55.220
 go back with his brothers

00:30:55.220 --> 00:30:57.280
 for how can I go back

00:30:57.280 --> 00:30:58.000
 to my father

00:30:58.000 --> 00:30:58.680
 if the boy

00:30:58.680 --> 00:31:00.040
 is not with me.

00:31:00.260 --> 00:31:01.920
 I fear to see

00:31:01.920 --> 00:31:03.040
 the evil

00:31:03.040 --> 00:31:04.300
 that would find

00:31:04.300 --> 00:31:05.240
 my father.

00:31:06.500 --> 00:31:07.640
 20 years ago,

00:31:08.100 --> 00:31:09.780
 I know this seems

00:31:09.780 --> 00:31:10.600
 like repetition.

00:31:11.840 --> 00:31:12.860
 My simple mind

00:31:12.860 --> 00:31:13.620
 needs this.

00:31:15.740 --> 00:31:16.780
 20 years ago,

00:31:16.880 --> 00:31:17.460
 no concern

00:31:17.460 --> 00:31:18.140
 for their dad.

00:31:19.280 --> 00:31:20.320
 20 years ago,

00:31:20.620 --> 00:31:21.540
 no concern

00:31:21.540 --> 00:31:23.000
 for their brother.

00:31:23.820 --> 00:31:25.500
 But what we see here

00:31:25.500 --> 00:31:27.460
 truly seems to be

00:31:27.460 --> 00:31:28.820
 a change of heart.

00:31:30.260 --> 00:31:31.560
 that in the midst

00:31:31.560 --> 00:31:33.100
 of all of the lying,

00:31:33.260 --> 00:31:33.820
 in the midst

00:31:33.820 --> 00:31:35.220
 of all the deceptions,

00:31:35.540 --> 00:31:36.060
 in the midst

00:31:36.060 --> 00:31:37.380
 of all the struggles,

00:31:37.520 --> 00:31:37.960
 in the midst

00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:39.100
 of all that was there,

00:31:39.360 --> 00:31:39.720
 in the midst

00:31:39.720 --> 00:31:41.220
 of all the sleepless nights,

00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:42.140
 that what had found

00:31:42.140 --> 00:31:42.460
 from this

00:31:42.460 --> 00:31:43.220
 is what we see

00:31:43.220 --> 00:31:44.600
 in the life of Judah

00:31:44.600 --> 00:31:46.020
 was that he was

00:31:46.020 --> 00:31:46.320
 going to think

00:31:46.320 --> 00:31:47.920
 of others

00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:49.120
 more than himself.

00:31:50.840 --> 00:31:52.340
 He's not going,

00:31:52.620 --> 00:31:52.960
 well, you know,

00:31:53.020 --> 00:31:54.180
 that's what my dad gets.

00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:55.340
 You know,

00:31:55.380 --> 00:31:56.120
 my dad loved

00:31:56.120 --> 00:31:57.060
 Joseph more.

00:31:57.280 --> 00:31:58.020
 My dad loved

00:31:58.020 --> 00:31:58.960
 Benjamin more.

00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:00.580
 How dare he do this?

00:32:02.620 --> 00:32:03.580
 He puts aside

00:32:03.580 --> 00:32:04.320
 his jealousy.

00:32:05.700 --> 00:32:06.720
 He puts aside

00:32:06.720 --> 00:32:09.360
 all of the sinfulness

00:32:09.360 --> 00:32:10.800
 that wants to try

00:32:10.800 --> 00:32:12.220
 to control him.

00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:12.800
 And he's like,

00:32:12.860 --> 00:32:13.700
 but here's where

00:32:13.700 --> 00:32:14.220
 it's at, man.

00:32:14.340 --> 00:32:16.300
 This will kill my dad.

00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:18.420
 So let me offer up myself.

00:32:18.740 --> 00:32:19.800
 Make me the slave.

00:32:20.040 --> 00:32:21.200
 Make me the sacrifice.

00:32:21.600 --> 00:32:22.780
 Let me be this one

00:32:22.780 --> 00:32:23.880
 that will do this.

00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:24.880
 This is what

00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:25.840
 I'm willing to do.

00:32:25.980 --> 00:32:27.600
 It's not about my life.

00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:28.580
 It's about the life

00:32:28.580 --> 00:32:29.160
 of others.

00:32:42.840 --> 00:32:43.800
 I'm sorry.

00:32:48.120 --> 00:32:49.080
 I'm sorry.

00:32:52.380 --> 00:32:53.520
 But it's hard to say

00:32:53.520 --> 00:32:54.240
 I forgive you.

00:32:54.380 --> 00:33:01.900
 What's Joseph

00:33:01.900 --> 00:33:02.340
 going to do?

00:33:13.340 --> 00:33:14.140
 Chapter 45,

00:33:14.260 --> 00:33:14.620
 verse 1.

00:33:16.620 --> 00:33:17.740
 Then Joseph

00:33:17.740 --> 00:33:18.760
 could not control

00:33:18.760 --> 00:33:19.960
 himself

00:33:19.960 --> 00:33:20.860
 before all those

00:33:20.860 --> 00:33:21.660
 who stood by him.

00:33:23.660 --> 00:33:24.460
 he cried.

00:33:24.460 --> 00:33:24.520
 He cried.

00:33:26.260 --> 00:33:27.340
 Make everyone

00:33:27.340 --> 00:33:28.260
 go out for me.

00:33:29.800 --> 00:33:30.500
 So no one

00:33:30.500 --> 00:33:31.560
 stayed with him

00:33:31.560 --> 00:33:33.820
 when Joseph

00:33:33.820 --> 00:33:35.760
 made himself

00:33:35.760 --> 00:33:36.620
 known

00:33:36.620 --> 00:33:37.840
 to his brothers.

00:33:40.120 --> 00:33:41.600
 And he wept

00:33:41.600 --> 00:33:42.680
 aloud

00:33:42.680 --> 00:33:44.700
 so that the Egyptians

00:33:44.700 --> 00:33:45.820
 heard it

00:33:45.820 --> 00:33:46.980
 and the house

00:33:46.980 --> 00:33:47.740
 of Pharaoh

00:33:47.740 --> 00:33:48.860
 heard it.

00:33:49.580 --> 00:33:50.360
 And Joseph

00:33:50.360 --> 00:33:51.240
 said to his

00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:51.240
 and Joseph said to his

00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:51.840
 brothers,

00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:53.660
 I am Joseph.

00:33:54.760 --> 00:33:55.840
 Is my father

00:33:55.840 --> 00:33:56.940
 still alive?

00:33:58.100 --> 00:33:59.200
 But his brothers

00:33:59.200 --> 00:34:00.260
 could not answer

00:34:00.260 --> 00:34:00.720
 him

00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:02.640
 for they were dismayed

00:34:02.640 --> 00:34:03.400
 at his presence.

00:34:03.540 --> 00:34:05.660
 This is good

00:34:05.660 --> 00:34:06.900
 and this kind of gets

00:34:06.900 --> 00:34:07.420
 funny too.

00:34:07.540 --> 00:34:07.860
 All right?

00:34:08.100 --> 00:34:09.080
 Here's what happens.

00:34:10.660 --> 00:34:12.080
 Joseph responds

00:34:12.080 --> 00:34:15.100
 and he responds

00:34:15.100 --> 00:34:16.740
 in a cry

00:34:16.740 --> 00:34:18.460
 that is so loud

00:34:18.460 --> 00:34:20.620
 that everyone

00:34:20.620 --> 00:34:21.860
 around hears it.

00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:23.480
 Like,

00:34:24.040 --> 00:34:25.820
 it's crazy cry.

00:34:27.500 --> 00:34:27.620
 Like,

00:34:27.660 --> 00:34:28.360
 this isn't like

00:34:28.360 --> 00:34:29.000
 some tears

00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:30.160
 that are falling.

00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:31.720
 This is like

00:34:31.720 --> 00:34:32.620
 falling out

00:34:32.620 --> 00:34:33.820
 crazy cry.

00:34:34.680 --> 00:34:35.540
 20 years.

00:34:36.280 --> 00:34:36.960
 God's gonna work

00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:37.580
 in their life.

00:34:37.780 --> 00:34:38.500
 God's gonna work

00:34:38.500 --> 00:34:39.640
 in his life.

00:34:40.020 --> 00:34:41.420
 And his response

00:34:41.420 --> 00:34:43.220
 when he tells them

00:34:43.220 --> 00:34:44.200
 who he is

00:34:44.200 --> 00:34:45.340
 and his father's,

00:34:45.660 --> 00:34:46.640
 is his father

00:34:46.640 --> 00:34:47.620
 still alive?

00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:48.700
 It says that his brothers

00:34:48.700 --> 00:34:49.780
 could not answer him

00:34:49.780 --> 00:34:51.620
 for they were dismayed

00:34:51.620 --> 00:34:52.620
 at his presence.

00:34:52.860 --> 00:34:53.520
 Here's what it means.

00:34:53.720 --> 00:34:55.040
 They weren't confused.

00:34:55.740 --> 00:34:57.280
 They were afraid.

00:34:58.700 --> 00:34:59.040
 They're like,

00:34:59.080 --> 00:35:00.160
 this guy is crying

00:35:00.160 --> 00:35:01.600
 like a serial killer

00:35:01.600 --> 00:35:02.540
 that's about to

00:35:02.540 --> 00:35:03.920
 decapitate all of us.

00:35:04.680 --> 00:35:06.940
 And they back

00:35:06.940 --> 00:35:09.040
 down from him.

00:35:12.860 --> 00:35:13.700
 Man,

00:35:14.200 --> 00:35:15.280
 when we're caught

00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:16.900
 in our trespasses

00:35:16.900 --> 00:35:18.100
 and sins

00:35:18.100 --> 00:35:19.220
 before God,

00:35:19.420 --> 00:35:20.660
 what we should get

00:35:20.660 --> 00:35:21.520
 is death.

00:35:26.180 --> 00:35:27.480
 But we get

00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:28.160
 the open arms

00:35:28.160 --> 00:35:28.560
 of Jesus.

00:35:32.620 --> 00:35:33.820
 Verse 4.

00:35:34.680 --> 00:35:36.940
 So Joseph said

00:35:36.940 --> 00:35:37.760
 to his brothers,

00:35:38.500 --> 00:35:40.120
 come near to me,

00:35:40.220 --> 00:35:40.680
 please.

00:35:41.960 --> 00:35:42.300
 I just,

00:35:42.640 --> 00:35:43.000
 again,

00:35:43.300 --> 00:35:43.940
 extra biblical,

00:35:44.280 --> 00:35:44.420
 like,

00:35:44.780 --> 00:35:45.540
 who's gonna go first?

00:35:45.700 --> 00:35:45.900
 All right,

00:35:45.940 --> 00:35:46.100
 Judy,

00:35:46.180 --> 00:35:46.860
 you do all this talking

00:35:46.860 --> 00:35:47.420
 like you go,

00:35:47.720 --> 00:35:47.960
 you know,

00:35:48.520 --> 00:35:49.200
 come to me,

00:35:49.260 --> 00:35:49.540
 please.

00:35:50.540 --> 00:35:51.600
 And they came near.

00:35:52.820 --> 00:35:53.520
 And he said,

00:35:53.580 --> 00:35:54.260
 I'm your brother,

00:35:54.400 --> 00:35:54.900
 Joseph,

00:35:55.660 --> 00:35:56.380
 whom you sold

00:35:56.380 --> 00:35:57.140
 into slavery.

00:35:57.140 --> 00:35:58.500
 And now,

00:35:58.700 --> 00:35:59.980
 do not be distressed

00:35:59.980 --> 00:36:00.940
 or angry

00:36:00.940 --> 00:36:01.640
 with yourselves

00:36:01.640 --> 00:36:02.460
 because you sold

00:36:02.460 --> 00:36:02.920
 me here.

00:36:03.320 --> 00:36:04.460
 For God sent me,

00:36:05.440 --> 00:36:06.080
 get that,

00:36:06.640 --> 00:36:08.260
 God sent me

00:36:08.260 --> 00:36:08.920
 before you

00:36:08.920 --> 00:36:09.900
 to preserve life.

00:36:10.380 --> 00:36:11.160
 For the famine

00:36:11.160 --> 00:36:12.020
 has been in the land

00:36:12.020 --> 00:36:12.820
 these two years,

00:36:13.080 --> 00:36:14.340
 and there are five years

00:36:14.340 --> 00:36:15.580
 into which there will be

00:36:15.580 --> 00:36:16.380
 neither plowing

00:36:16.380 --> 00:36:17.260
 nor harvest.

00:36:17.600 --> 00:36:18.340
 And God sent me

00:36:18.340 --> 00:36:18.820
 before you

00:36:18.820 --> 00:36:19.880
 to preserve for you

00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:21.180
 a remnant on earth

00:36:21.180 --> 00:36:22.180
 to keep alive

00:36:22.180 --> 00:36:23.800
 for you many survivors.

00:36:23.800 --> 00:36:25.680
 So it was not you

00:36:25.680 --> 00:36:26.860
 who sent me here,

00:36:27.120 --> 00:36:28.060
 but God.

00:36:29.040 --> 00:36:29.920
 But God.

00:36:31.500 --> 00:36:32.980
 He has made me

00:36:32.980 --> 00:36:34.640
 a father to Pharaoh

00:36:34.640 --> 00:36:35.800
 and a lord

00:36:35.800 --> 00:36:36.920
 to all of his house

00:36:36.920 --> 00:36:37.400
 and ruler

00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:38.900
 over all the land

00:36:38.900 --> 00:36:39.360
 of Egypt.

00:36:39.780 --> 00:36:41.060
 Hurry and go up

00:36:41.060 --> 00:36:41.800
 to my father

00:36:41.800 --> 00:36:42.600
 and say to him,

00:36:42.720 --> 00:36:43.960
 thus says your son Joseph,

00:36:44.260 --> 00:36:44.900
 God has made me

00:36:44.900 --> 00:36:46.300
 the lord of all Egypt.

00:36:46.840 --> 00:36:48.000
 Come down to me.

00:36:48.220 --> 00:36:49.140
 Do not tarry.

00:36:49.380 --> 00:36:50.120
 You shall dwell

00:36:50.120 --> 00:36:51.240
 in the land of Goshen

00:36:51.240 --> 00:36:53.000
 and you shall be near me.

00:36:53.000 --> 00:36:54.360
 You and your children

00:36:54.360 --> 00:36:55.820
 and your children's children

00:36:55.820 --> 00:36:56.920
 and your flock

00:36:56.920 --> 00:36:57.860
 and your herds

00:36:57.860 --> 00:36:59.180
 and all that you have.

00:36:59.520 --> 00:37:00.940
 There I will provide for you

00:37:00.940 --> 00:37:01.700
 for there at least

00:37:01.700 --> 00:37:02.880
 five years of famine

00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:03.340
 to come

00:37:03.340 --> 00:37:04.100
 so that you

00:37:04.100 --> 00:37:04.840
 and your household

00:37:04.840 --> 00:37:05.980
 and all that you have

00:37:05.980 --> 00:37:07.600
 do not come to poverty.

00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:09.140
 And now your eyes see

00:37:09.140 --> 00:37:10.760
 and the eyes of my brother

00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:11.600
 Benjamin see

00:37:11.600 --> 00:37:12.700
 that in my mouth

00:37:12.700 --> 00:37:13.720
 that I speak to you.

00:37:13.980 --> 00:37:15.020
 You must tell my father

00:37:15.020 --> 00:37:17.220
 all my honor in Egypt

00:37:17.220 --> 00:37:18.320
 that all of you

00:37:18.320 --> 00:37:18.980
 have seen.

00:37:19.340 --> 00:37:19.980
 Hurry and bring

00:37:19.980 --> 00:37:21.200
 my father down here.

00:37:21.200 --> 00:37:22.400
 Then he fell

00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:23.180
 upon his brother

00:37:23.180 --> 00:37:24.100
 Benjamin's neck

00:37:24.100 --> 00:37:24.780
 and he wept

00:37:24.780 --> 00:37:25.740
 and Benjamin wept

00:37:25.740 --> 00:37:26.420
 upon his neck

00:37:26.420 --> 00:37:27.180
 and he kissed

00:37:27.180 --> 00:37:27.960
 all of his brothers

00:37:27.960 --> 00:37:28.580
 and he wept

00:37:28.580 --> 00:37:29.060
 upon them.

00:37:29.380 --> 00:37:30.060
 After that,

00:37:30.140 --> 00:37:30.760
 his brothers

00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:32.660
 talked with him.

00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:39.840
 like I don't know

00:37:39.840 --> 00:37:40.400
 about you

00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:43.140
 but this is

00:37:43.140 --> 00:37:44.320
 this is varsity

00:37:44.320 --> 00:37:46.180
 level forgiveness.

00:37:47.520 --> 00:37:48.080
 This is

00:37:48.080 --> 00:37:49.260
 I'm not playing around.

00:37:50.140 --> 00:37:50.820
 I'm not leaving

00:37:50.820 --> 00:37:52.080
 I'm not leaving

00:37:52.080 --> 00:37:52.960
 some deeds

00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:54.200
 dangling out there.

00:37:54.480 --> 00:37:55.640
 I'm not diminishing

00:37:55.640 --> 00:37:56.760
 what is happening.

00:37:57.120 --> 00:37:57.620
 I'm not

00:37:57.620 --> 00:37:57.920
 I'm not

00:37:57.920 --> 00:37:59.060
 I'm not pushing aside

00:37:59.060 --> 00:37:59.780
 the emotion

00:37:59.780 --> 00:38:01.100
 of what's there

00:38:01.100 --> 00:38:02.020
 but look at what

00:38:02.020 --> 00:38:02.740
 Joseph does.

00:38:02.940 --> 00:38:03.820
 He doesn't diminish

00:38:03.820 --> 00:38:04.360
 their sin.

00:38:04.560 --> 00:38:05.440
 He doesn't excuse

00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:06.040
 their sin.

00:38:06.300 --> 00:38:07.000
 He doesn't say

00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:07.460
 to them like

00:38:07.460 --> 00:38:07.880
 you know

00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:08.600
 you really didn't

00:38:08.600 --> 00:38:09.380
 do that bad.

00:38:09.620 --> 00:38:09.780
 You know

00:38:09.780 --> 00:38:10.340
 it really wasn't

00:38:10.340 --> 00:38:11.020
 that big of a deal.

00:38:11.220 --> 00:38:11.580
 No, no, no.

00:38:11.700 --> 00:38:12.500
 This was

00:38:12.500 --> 00:38:13.600
 this was a big deal.

00:38:13.780 --> 00:38:14.260
 They sold him

00:38:14.260 --> 00:38:14.860
 into slavery.

00:38:15.120 --> 00:38:15.720
 They got to wrestle

00:38:15.720 --> 00:38:16.060
 with that.

00:38:16.140 --> 00:38:16.660
 They got to deal

00:38:16.660 --> 00:38:16.960
 with that

00:38:16.960 --> 00:38:18.260
 but he forgives them.

00:38:18.520 --> 00:38:19.380
 He forgives them.

00:38:19.600 --> 00:38:19.940
 He's like

00:38:19.940 --> 00:38:20.500
 no, no, no.

00:38:20.640 --> 00:38:21.780
 This isn't a forgiveness

00:38:21.780 --> 00:38:22.820
 with stipulations.

00:38:23.100 --> 00:38:23.820
 This is forgiveness.

00:38:24.180 --> 00:38:24.900
 Go get dad.

00:38:25.140 --> 00:38:25.640
 Come here.

00:38:25.860 --> 00:38:26.920
 Man, it's blessing

00:38:26.920 --> 00:38:28.040
 after blessing

00:38:28.040 --> 00:38:29.040
 after blessing

00:38:29.040 --> 00:38:30.520
 and I'm giving it to you

00:38:30.520 --> 00:38:31.520
 and I'm not asking you

00:38:31.520 --> 00:38:32.120
 to be my servant.

00:38:32.340 --> 00:38:32.980
 I'm not asking you

00:38:32.980 --> 00:38:33.560
 to be my slave.

00:38:33.740 --> 00:38:34.740
 Like this is what I'm doing.

00:38:35.700 --> 00:38:36.460
 He didn't belittle

00:38:36.460 --> 00:38:37.260
 his suffering.

00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:39.960
 He said

00:38:39.960 --> 00:38:40.860
 he wasn't that bad.

00:38:43.040 --> 00:38:43.860
 He didn't.

00:38:45.560 --> 00:38:46.520
 But he acknowledged

00:38:46.520 --> 00:38:47.300
 how God worked.

00:38:48.900 --> 00:38:50.140
 God sent me here.

00:38:51.240 --> 00:38:52.240
 God did this.

00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:55.440
 Joseph made God

00:38:55.440 --> 00:38:57.580
 the focus of his story

00:38:57.580 --> 00:38:58.260
 and not himself.

00:39:00.060 --> 00:39:01.080
 Joseph knew that

00:39:01.080 --> 00:39:03.720
 I'm bad at forgiving people.

00:39:05.080 --> 00:39:06.260
 This is my confession.

00:39:07.660 --> 00:39:08.760
 I'm bad at that.

00:39:10.180 --> 00:39:12.020
 I bet there's other people

00:39:12.020 --> 00:39:12.620
 in here that are bad

00:39:12.620 --> 00:39:13.100
 at that too.

00:39:14.580 --> 00:39:16.060
 But God's really good at it.

00:39:17.480 --> 00:39:18.660
 And we trust him

00:39:18.660 --> 00:39:20.520
 and we submit ourselves

00:39:20.520 --> 00:39:21.040
 to him

00:39:21.040 --> 00:39:22.980
 that God gives us

00:39:22.980 --> 00:39:23.940
 the ability to forgive.

00:39:26.520 --> 00:39:27.360
 And then it's

00:39:27.360 --> 00:39:29.140
 our responsibility

00:39:29.140 --> 00:39:31.500
 to make that focus

00:39:31.500 --> 00:39:32.040
 about him.

00:39:34.260 --> 00:39:34.700
 Joseph,

00:39:34.860 --> 00:39:35.700
 even though he was wronged,

00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:38.640
 Joseph desired

00:39:38.640 --> 00:39:39.160
 to reconcile.

00:39:41.340 --> 00:39:42.760
 Joseph made the first move.

00:39:43.940 --> 00:39:45.040
 This is the work

00:39:45.040 --> 00:39:45.840
 that he's there to do.

00:39:47.600 --> 00:39:48.080
 All right.

00:39:48.560 --> 00:39:49.400
 We finish reading 45.

00:39:51.040 --> 00:39:51.840
 When the report

00:39:51.840 --> 00:39:53.000
 was heard in Pharaoh's house,

00:39:53.140 --> 00:39:54.240
 Joseph's brothers have come.

00:39:55.660 --> 00:39:56.760
 It pleased Pharaoh

00:39:56.760 --> 00:39:57.380
 and his servants.

00:39:57.860 --> 00:39:58.920
 And Pharaoh said to Joseph,

00:39:59.880 --> 00:40:00.580
 say to your brothers,

00:40:00.700 --> 00:40:01.300
 do this.

00:40:02.300 --> 00:40:02.860
 Load your beast

00:40:02.860 --> 00:40:03.280
 and go back

00:40:03.280 --> 00:40:04.020
 to the land of Canaan

00:40:04.020 --> 00:40:04.900
 and take your father

00:40:04.900 --> 00:40:06.040
 and your households

00:40:06.040 --> 00:40:07.060
 and come to me.

00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:08.520
 And I will give you

00:40:08.520 --> 00:40:09.740
 the best of the land

00:40:09.740 --> 00:40:10.200
 of Egypt

00:40:10.200 --> 00:40:12.200
 and you shall eat

00:40:12.200 --> 00:40:13.220
 the fat of the land.

00:40:14.340 --> 00:40:14.880
 And you,

00:40:15.020 --> 00:40:15.280
 Joseph,

00:40:15.800 --> 00:40:17.060
 are commanded to say,

00:40:17.540 --> 00:40:18.080
 do this.

00:40:18.820 --> 00:40:19.520
 Take wagons

00:40:19.520 --> 00:40:20.560
 from the land of Egypt

00:40:20.560 --> 00:40:21.920
 for your little ones

00:40:21.920 --> 00:40:22.660
 and for your wives

00:40:22.660 --> 00:40:24.080
 and bring your father

00:40:24.080 --> 00:40:24.600
 and come.

00:40:25.620 --> 00:40:26.620
 Have no concern

00:40:26.620 --> 00:40:27.900
 for your goods

00:40:27.900 --> 00:40:29.940
 for the best

00:40:29.940 --> 00:40:31.280
 of all the land

00:40:31.280 --> 00:40:31.880
 of Egypt

00:40:31.880 --> 00:40:32.600
 is yours.

00:40:34.220 --> 00:40:35.140
 And the sons

00:40:35.140 --> 00:40:36.200
 of Israel did so

00:40:36.200 --> 00:40:37.020
 and Joseph gave them

00:40:37.020 --> 00:40:37.480
 wagons

00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:38.160
 according to the

00:40:38.160 --> 00:40:38.840
 command of Pharaoh

00:40:38.840 --> 00:40:40.100
 and gave them

00:40:40.100 --> 00:40:41.160
 provisions for the journey.

00:40:41.980 --> 00:40:43.140
 To each and all of them

00:40:43.140 --> 00:40:44.240
 he gave a change of clothes

00:40:44.240 --> 00:40:45.000
 but to Benjamin

00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:47.300
 he gave 300 shekels

00:40:47.300 --> 00:40:47.700
 of silver

00:40:47.700 --> 00:40:49.340
 and five changes

00:40:49.340 --> 00:40:49.920
 of clothes.

00:40:50.600 --> 00:40:50.800
 Like,

00:40:50.860 --> 00:40:51.900
 let's just make sure.

00:40:52.220 --> 00:40:52.360
 You know?

00:40:53.640 --> 00:40:54.660
 To his father

00:40:54.660 --> 00:40:56.660
 he sent his followers

00:40:56.660 --> 00:40:58.320
 ten donkeys

00:40:58.320 --> 00:40:59.120
 loaded with the good

00:40:59.120 --> 00:40:59.820
 things of Egypt.

00:41:00.460 --> 00:41:01.340
 Ten female donkeys

00:41:01.340 --> 00:41:02.160
 loaded with grain,

00:41:02.280 --> 00:41:02.580
 bread,

00:41:03.000 --> 00:41:03.420
 and provision

00:41:03.420 --> 00:41:04.000
 for his father

00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:04.520
 on the journey.

00:41:05.280 --> 00:41:05.800
 And then he sent

00:41:05.800 --> 00:41:06.500
 his brothers away

00:41:06.500 --> 00:41:08.120
 and as he departed

00:41:08.120 --> 00:41:08.920
 he said to them

00:41:08.920 --> 00:41:10.640
 do not quarrel

00:41:10.640 --> 00:41:11.540
 on the way.

00:41:12.660 --> 00:41:13.500
 I just feel like

00:41:13.500 --> 00:41:14.660
 he's like

00:41:14.660 --> 00:41:16.480
 they gotta tell dad

00:41:16.480 --> 00:41:20.360
 this isn't

00:41:20.360 --> 00:41:21.060
 an under the bus

00:41:21.060 --> 00:41:21.900
 kind of situation.

00:41:22.040 --> 00:41:22.860
 I guess under the wagon

00:41:22.860 --> 00:41:23.620
 situation, right?

00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:25.780
 Verse 25.

00:41:27.240 --> 00:41:28.020
 So they went up

00:41:28.020 --> 00:41:28.520
 out of Egypt

00:41:28.520 --> 00:41:29.300
 and came to the land

00:41:29.300 --> 00:41:29.760
 of Canaan

00:41:29.760 --> 00:41:31.680
 to their father Jacob

00:41:31.680 --> 00:41:33.800
 and they told him

00:41:33.800 --> 00:41:36.940
 Joseph is still alive

00:41:36.940 --> 00:41:39.280
 and he is ruler

00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:41.080
 over all of the land

00:41:41.080 --> 00:41:41.540
 of Egypt

00:41:41.540 --> 00:41:43.960
 and his heart

00:41:43.960 --> 00:41:45.160
 became numb

00:41:45.160 --> 00:41:47.300
 for he did not

00:41:47.300 --> 00:41:48.020
 believe them.

00:41:49.300 --> 00:41:50.180
 But when they told him

00:41:50.180 --> 00:41:51.300
 all the words of Joseph

00:41:51.300 --> 00:41:52.660
 which he had said

00:41:52.660 --> 00:41:53.080
 to them

00:41:53.080 --> 00:41:54.580
 and he saw

00:41:54.580 --> 00:41:55.260
 their wagons

00:41:55.260 --> 00:41:55.760
 that Joseph

00:41:55.760 --> 00:41:56.300
 had sent

00:41:56.300 --> 00:41:57.080
 to carry him

00:41:57.080 --> 00:41:58.580
 the spirit

00:41:58.580 --> 00:41:59.140
 of their father

00:41:59.140 --> 00:42:00.260
 Jacob revived

00:42:00.260 --> 00:42:05.200
 and Israel said

00:42:05.200 --> 00:42:08.400
 it is enough

00:42:08.400 --> 00:42:10.820
 Joseph my son

00:42:10.820 --> 00:42:11.380
 is alive

00:42:11.380 --> 00:42:13.780
 I will go

00:42:13.780 --> 00:42:14.340
 and see him

00:42:14.340 --> 00:42:15.020
 before I die.

00:42:17.020 --> 00:42:17.700
 what

00:42:17.700 --> 00:42:19.200
 beautiful

00:42:19.200 --> 00:42:20.600
 story

00:42:20.600 --> 00:42:24.440
 and it's a story

00:42:24.440 --> 00:42:25.960
 about forgiveness

00:42:25.960 --> 00:42:28.700
 and it's a story

00:42:28.700 --> 00:42:29.960
 that if you need

00:42:29.960 --> 00:42:31.040
 to ask for forgiveness

00:42:31.040 --> 00:42:33.100
 or you need

00:42:33.100 --> 00:42:34.240
 to forgive someone

00:42:34.240 --> 00:42:36.140
 I mean

00:42:36.140 --> 00:42:38.000
 I challenge you

00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:38.540
 this week

00:42:38.540 --> 00:42:41.000
 spend some time

00:42:41.000 --> 00:42:43.080
 in this

00:42:43.080 --> 00:42:45.100
 don't let

00:42:45.100 --> 00:42:46.540
 this

00:42:46.540 --> 00:42:47.000
 here

00:42:47.000 --> 00:42:47.640
 today

00:42:47.640 --> 00:42:48.600
 be the

00:42:48.600 --> 00:42:49.060
 extent

00:42:49.060 --> 00:42:49.380
 of you

00:42:49.380 --> 00:42:49.980
 with this

00:42:49.980 --> 00:42:51.720
 look at

00:42:51.720 --> 00:42:52.500
 this story

00:42:52.500 --> 00:42:53.480
 of forgiveness

00:42:53.480 --> 00:42:55.100
 look at

00:42:55.100 --> 00:42:55.500
 how God

00:42:55.500 --> 00:42:55.880
 works

00:42:55.880 --> 00:42:56.160
 and look

00:42:56.160 --> 00:42:56.520
 how God

00:42:56.520 --> 00:42:57.000
 moves

00:42:57.000 --> 00:42:58.520
 allow God

00:42:58.520 --> 00:42:59.420
 to work

00:42:59.420 --> 00:42:59.980
 in your life

00:42:59.980 --> 00:43:00.540
 allow God

00:43:00.540 --> 00:43:00.960
 to give you

00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:01.440
 perspective

00:43:01.440 --> 00:43:02.020
 allow God

00:43:02.020 --> 00:43:02.620
 to change

00:43:02.620 --> 00:43:03.000
 your heart

00:43:03.000 --> 00:43:03.660
 allow God

00:43:03.660 --> 00:43:04.280
 to do this

00:43:04.280 --> 00:43:05.160
 because we see

00:43:05.160 --> 00:43:05.740
 these wonderful

00:43:05.740 --> 00:43:06.340
 themes

00:43:06.340 --> 00:43:07.800
 that are coming

00:43:07.800 --> 00:43:08.160
 from this

00:43:08.160 --> 00:43:08.620
 in the matters

00:43:08.620 --> 00:43:09.160
 of forgiveness

00:43:09.160 --> 00:43:09.940
 we see

00:43:09.940 --> 00:43:11.320
 sacrificial love

00:43:11.320 --> 00:43:12.400
 man man

00:43:12.400 --> 00:43:13.360
 Judah offers

00:43:13.360 --> 00:43:13.920
 to save

00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:14.460
 Benjamin

00:43:14.460 --> 00:43:15.760
 Joseph submits

00:43:15.760 --> 00:43:16.320
 his rights

00:43:16.320 --> 00:43:16.780
 in favor

00:43:16.780 --> 00:43:17.320
 of love

00:43:17.320 --> 00:43:18.140
 sacrificial

00:43:18.140 --> 00:43:18.820
 love

00:43:18.820 --> 00:43:20.560
 maybe you

00:43:20.560 --> 00:43:21.420
 need that

00:43:21.420 --> 00:43:23.380
 we see

00:43:23.380 --> 00:43:24.120
 obedience

00:43:24.120 --> 00:43:25.900
 to the

00:43:25.900 --> 00:43:26.240
 father

00:43:26.240 --> 00:43:29.000
 not directly

00:43:29.000 --> 00:43:30.500
 with the

00:43:30.500 --> 00:43:30.820
 brothers

00:43:30.820 --> 00:43:31.300
 but we see

00:43:31.300 --> 00:43:31.680
 that with

00:43:31.680 --> 00:43:32.080
 Judah

00:43:32.080 --> 00:43:34.600
 I want to

00:43:34.600 --> 00:43:35.100
 obey dad

00:43:35.100 --> 00:43:35.740
 I told dad

00:43:35.740 --> 00:43:36.140
 that I bring

00:43:36.140 --> 00:43:36.500
 him back

00:43:36.500 --> 00:43:37.020
 I told dad

00:43:37.020 --> 00:43:37.340
 that I would

00:43:37.340 --> 00:43:37.740
 do this

00:43:37.740 --> 00:43:38.340
 I pledged

00:43:38.340 --> 00:43:38.840
 this to dad

00:43:38.840 --> 00:43:39.200
 this is what

00:43:39.200 --> 00:43:39.720
 I'm gonna do

00:43:39.720 --> 00:43:43.220
 we see

00:43:43.220 --> 00:43:44.040
 Joseph's desire

00:43:44.040 --> 00:43:44.360
 obedience

00:43:44.360 --> 00:43:44.960
 to God

00:43:44.960 --> 00:43:46.860
 the God

00:43:46.860 --> 00:43:47.440
 who's protected

00:43:47.440 --> 00:43:47.600
 him

00:43:47.600 --> 00:43:47.900
 the God

00:43:47.900 --> 00:43:48.480
 who's blessed

00:43:48.480 --> 00:43:48.700
 him

00:43:48.700 --> 00:43:49.200
 the God

00:43:49.200 --> 00:43:49.500
 who's never

00:43:49.500 --> 00:43:50.020
 left him

00:43:50.020 --> 00:43:52.040
 we see

00:43:52.040 --> 00:43:52.600
 humility

00:43:52.600 --> 00:43:53.300
 before the

00:43:53.300 --> 00:43:53.660
 Lord

00:43:53.660 --> 00:43:55.140
 we see

00:43:55.140 --> 00:43:55.600
 Judah

00:43:55.600 --> 00:43:56.120
 and his

00:43:56.120 --> 00:43:56.580
 brothers

00:43:56.580 --> 00:43:57.120
 all

00:43:57.120 --> 00:43:57.840
 humble

00:43:57.840 --> 00:43:58.640
 themselves

00:43:58.640 --> 00:43:59.240
 before

00:43:59.240 --> 00:43:59.700
 Joseph

00:43:59.700 --> 00:44:00.160
 this has

00:44:00.160 --> 00:44:00.240
 happened

00:44:00.240 --> 00:44:00.760
 numerous

00:44:00.760 --> 00:44:01.300
 times

00:44:01.300 --> 00:44:01.800
 and God

00:44:01.800 --> 00:44:02.100
 said it

00:44:02.100 --> 00:44:02.220
 would

00:44:02.220 --> 00:44:02.560
 happen

00:44:02.560 --> 00:44:03.220
 we see

00:44:03.220 --> 00:44:03.680
 Joseph

00:44:03.680 --> 00:44:04.220
 humble

00:44:04.220 --> 00:44:04.720
 himself

00:44:04.720 --> 00:44:05.360
 before

00:44:05.360 --> 00:44:06.120
 God

00:44:06.120 --> 00:44:08.940
 and in

00:44:08.940 --> 00:44:09.280
 the midst

00:44:09.280 --> 00:44:09.540
 of our

00:44:09.540 --> 00:44:09.860
 pain

00:44:09.860 --> 00:44:10.220
 it's not

00:44:10.220 --> 00:44:10.840
 their rights

00:44:10.840 --> 00:44:11.160
 it's their

00:44:11.160 --> 00:44:11.740
 humility

00:44:11.740 --> 00:44:14.180
 that they

00:44:14.180 --> 00:44:14.680
 desire

00:44:14.680 --> 00:44:16.740
 we see

00:44:16.740 --> 00:44:17.100
 a change

00:44:17.100 --> 00:44:17.560
 of heart

00:44:17.560 --> 00:44:19.180
 we see

00:44:19.180 --> 00:44:19.400
 a change

00:44:19.400 --> 00:44:19.520
 of heart

00:44:19.520 --> 00:44:19.700
 we see

00:44:19.700 --> 00:44:19.900
 a change

00:44:19.900 --> 00:44:20.120
 of heart

00:44:20.120 --> 00:44:20.560
 in everybody

00:44:20.560 --> 00:44:22.220
 we see

00:44:22.220 --> 00:44:22.440
 a change

00:44:22.440 --> 00:44:22.680
 of heart

00:44:22.680 --> 00:44:22.860
 in the

00:44:22.860 --> 00:44:23.300
 brothers

00:44:23.300 --> 00:44:24.600
 we see

00:44:24.600 --> 00:44:24.860
 a change

00:44:24.860 --> 00:44:25.180
 of heart

00:44:25.180 --> 00:44:25.740
 in Joseph

00:44:25.740 --> 00:44:26.820
 we see

00:44:26.820 --> 00:44:27.100
 a change

00:44:27.100 --> 00:44:27.420
 of heart

00:44:27.420 --> 00:44:27.980
 in Jacob

00:44:27.980 --> 00:44:29.240
 change

00:44:29.240 --> 00:44:29.620
 of heart

00:44:29.620 --> 00:44:29.920
 change

00:44:29.920 --> 00:44:30.280
 of heart

00:44:30.280 --> 00:44:30.580
 change

00:44:30.580 --> 00:44:30.880
 of heart

00:44:30.880 --> 00:44:31.160
 what's

00:44:31.160 --> 00:44:31.540
 your heart

00:44:31.540 --> 00:44:31.940
 like

00:44:31.940 --> 00:44:33.320
 do

00:44:33.320 --> 00:44:33.600
 you need

00:44:33.600 --> 00:44:34.000
 to ask

00:44:34.000 --> 00:44:34.560
 for forgiveness

00:44:34.560 --> 00:44:34.940
 what's

00:44:34.940 --> 00:44:35.300
 your heart

00:44:35.300 --> 00:44:35.700
 like

00:44:35.700 --> 00:44:36.460
 do

00:44:36.460 --> 00:44:36.700
 you need

00:44:36.700 --> 00:44:37.040
 to give

00:44:37.040 --> 00:44:37.540
 forgiveness

00:44:37.540 --> 00:44:38.040
 what's

00:44:38.040 --> 00:44:38.400
 your heart

00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:38.860
 like

00:44:38.860 --> 00:44:42.340
 we see

00:44:42.340 --> 00:44:43.040
 a declaration

00:44:43.040 --> 00:44:43.560
 made

00:44:43.560 --> 00:44:50.440
 you know

00:44:50.440 --> 00:44:50.880
 I forgive

00:44:50.880 --> 00:44:51.380
 you

00:44:51.380 --> 00:44:55.360
 you know

00:44:55.360 --> 00:44:55.960
 I was thinking

00:44:55.960 --> 00:44:56.220
 about that

00:44:56.220 --> 00:44:56.440
 with my

00:44:56.440 --> 00:44:56.660
 wife

00:44:56.660 --> 00:44:57.080
 this week

00:44:57.080 --> 00:45:01.640
 that sometimes

00:45:01.640 --> 00:45:01.920
 sometimes it

00:45:01.920 --> 00:45:02.360
 is

00:45:02.360 --> 00:45:04.840
 easy

00:45:04.840 --> 00:45:07.280
 as God

00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:07.900
 works in our

00:45:07.900 --> 00:45:08.420
 lives in the

00:45:08.420 --> 00:45:09.180
 quiet of

00:45:09.180 --> 00:45:10.480
 our homes

00:45:10.480 --> 00:45:11.160
 or in the

00:45:11.160 --> 00:45:11.720
 walk that

00:45:11.720 --> 00:45:12.260
 we're on

00:45:12.260 --> 00:45:13.400
 in our

00:45:13.400 --> 00:45:14.140
 quiet time

00:45:14.140 --> 00:45:14.680
 as God

00:45:14.680 --> 00:45:15.120
 deals with

00:45:15.120 --> 00:45:15.400
 us with

00:45:15.400 --> 00:45:15.700
 this

00:45:15.700 --> 00:45:17.460
 to look

00:45:17.460 --> 00:45:17.760
 at

00:45:17.760 --> 00:45:19.280
 the situation

00:45:19.280 --> 00:45:21.420
 and in

00:45:21.420 --> 00:45:21.780
 humility

00:45:21.780 --> 00:45:22.260
 before the

00:45:22.260 --> 00:45:22.500
 Lord

00:45:22.500 --> 00:45:22.940
 say God

00:45:22.940 --> 00:45:23.260
 thank you

00:45:23.260 --> 00:45:23.900
 I forgive

00:45:23.900 --> 00:45:24.240
 them

00:45:24.240 --> 00:45:26.020
 I forgive

00:45:26.020 --> 00:45:26.480
 them

00:45:26.480 --> 00:45:30.940
 Joseph

00:45:30.940 --> 00:45:31.220
 could have

00:45:31.220 --> 00:45:31.420
 sent them

00:45:31.420 --> 00:45:31.620
 on their

00:45:31.620 --> 00:45:31.960
 way

00:45:31.960 --> 00:45:33.940
 and said

00:45:33.940 --> 00:45:34.360
 God I

00:45:34.360 --> 00:45:34.660
 forgive

00:45:34.660 --> 00:45:34.980
 them

00:45:34.980 --> 00:45:36.580
 but he

00:45:36.580 --> 00:45:37.760
 didn't

00:45:37.760 --> 00:45:39.060
 and he

00:45:39.060 --> 00:45:39.440
 came to

00:45:39.440 --> 00:45:39.640
 them

00:45:39.640 --> 00:45:39.960
 and the

00:45:39.960 --> 00:45:40.280
 beauty of

00:45:40.280 --> 00:45:40.600
 the work

00:45:40.600 --> 00:45:40.900
 of what

00:45:40.900 --> 00:45:41.080
 God

00:45:41.080 --> 00:45:41.420
 does

00:45:41.420 --> 00:45:41.940
 he said

00:45:41.940 --> 00:45:42.160
 to them

00:45:42.160 --> 00:45:42.880
 I forgive

00:45:42.880 --> 00:45:43.220
 you

00:45:43.220 --> 00:45:45.740
 I forgive

00:45:45.740 --> 00:45:46.040
 you

00:45:46.040 --> 00:45:48.180
 maybe

00:45:48.180 --> 00:45:48.960
 forgiving

00:45:48.960 --> 00:45:50.420
 while it's

00:45:50.420 --> 00:45:50.800
 an action

00:45:50.800 --> 00:45:51.120
 of the

00:45:51.120 --> 00:45:51.540
 heart

00:45:51.540 --> 00:45:53.340
 is the

00:45:53.340 --> 00:45:53.800
 power of

00:45:53.800 --> 00:45:53.920
 the

00:45:53.920 --> 00:45:54.520
 declaration

00:45:54.520 --> 00:45:56.100
 that's

00:45:56.100 --> 00:45:56.360
 made

00:45:56.360 --> 00:45:58.860
 I forgive

00:45:58.860 --> 00:45:59.160
 you

00:45:59.160 --> 00:46:01.200
 and we

00:46:01.200 --> 00:46:01.440
 see a

00:46:01.440 --> 00:46:01.680
 family

00:46:01.680 --> 00:46:02.500
 reconciled

00:46:02.500 --> 00:46:06.160
 a family

00:46:06.160 --> 00:46:06.820
 marked

00:46:06.820 --> 00:46:07.960
 by

00:46:07.960 --> 00:46:08.500
 dysfunction

00:46:08.500 --> 00:46:09.740
 a

00:46:09.740 --> 00:46:09.980
 family

00:46:09.980 --> 00:46:10.460
 marked

00:46:10.460 --> 00:46:11.440
 by

00:46:11.440 --> 00:46:11.900
 struggle

00:46:11.900 --> 00:46:14.300
 reconciled

00:46:14.300 --> 00:46:16.440
 no we're

00:46:16.440 --> 00:46:16.900
 not done

00:46:16.900 --> 00:46:19.140
 we're not

00:46:19.140 --> 00:46:19.400
 done

00:46:19.400 --> 00:46:21.480
 I love

00:46:21.480 --> 00:46:22.000
 this story

00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:24.540
 I love

00:46:24.540 --> 00:46:25.080
 this story

00:46:25.080 --> 00:46:26.780
 I love

00:46:26.780 --> 00:46:27.040
 the story

00:46:27.040 --> 00:46:27.280
 of how

00:46:27.280 --> 00:46:27.760
 God uses

00:46:27.760 --> 00:46:28.140
 Joseph

00:46:28.140 --> 00:46:28.380
 I love

00:46:28.380 --> 00:46:28.560
 the story

00:46:28.560 --> 00:46:28.700
 of how

00:46:28.700 --> 00:46:28.860
 God's

00:46:28.860 --> 00:46:29.020
 going to

00:46:29.020 --> 00:46:29.300
 continue

00:46:29.300 --> 00:46:29.640
 to use

00:46:29.640 --> 00:46:30.080
 Joseph

00:46:30.080 --> 00:46:31.880
 great

00:46:31.880 --> 00:46:32.140
 story

00:46:32.140 --> 00:46:32.320
 about

00:46:32.320 --> 00:46:32.680
 forgiveness

00:46:32.680 --> 00:46:34.640
 but I

00:46:34.640 --> 00:46:34.880
 want to

00:46:34.880 --> 00:46:35.280
 caution

00:46:35.280 --> 00:46:35.580
 us

00:46:35.580 --> 00:46:35.880
 for a

00:46:35.880 --> 00:46:36.140
 moment

00:46:36.140 --> 00:46:37.700
 that

00:46:37.700 --> 00:46:38.280
 if we

00:46:38.280 --> 00:46:38.520
 end

00:46:38.520 --> 00:46:38.880
 here

00:46:38.880 --> 00:46:40.920
 if we

00:46:40.920 --> 00:46:41.200
 walk

00:46:41.200 --> 00:46:41.560
 away

00:46:41.560 --> 00:46:42.200
 from

00:46:42.200 --> 00:46:42.660
 this

00:46:42.660 --> 00:46:44.120
 my

00:46:44.120 --> 00:46:44.540
 concern

00:46:44.540 --> 00:46:44.820
 is

00:46:44.820 --> 00:46:44.980
 that

00:46:44.980 --> 00:46:45.140
 we

00:46:45.140 --> 00:46:45.780
 walk

00:46:45.780 --> 00:46:46.060
 away

00:46:46.060 --> 00:46:46.420
 from

00:46:46.420 --> 00:46:46.840
 is

00:46:46.840 --> 00:46:50.560
 be

00:46:50.560 --> 00:46:50.800
 like

00:46:50.800 --> 00:46:51.240
 Joseph

00:46:51.240 --> 00:46:54.120
 be

00:46:54.120 --> 00:46:54.340
 like

00:46:54.340 --> 00:46:54.780
 Joseph

00:46:54.780 --> 00:46:56.700
 Joseph's

00:46:56.700 --> 00:46:56.820
 the

00:46:56.820 --> 00:46:57.240
 hero

00:46:57.240 --> 00:46:58.840
 Joseph

00:46:58.840 --> 00:46:59.060
 is

00:46:59.060 --> 00:46:59.220
 the

00:46:59.220 --> 00:46:59.620
 point

00:46:59.620 --> 00:47:00.960
 and

00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:01.180
 there's

00:47:01.180 --> 00:47:01.520
 great

00:47:01.520 --> 00:47:02.080
 danger

00:47:02.080 --> 00:47:02.380
 in

00:47:02.380 --> 00:47:02.920
 us

00:47:02.920 --> 00:47:04.300
 if

00:47:04.300 --> 00:47:04.600
 Joseph

00:47:04.600 --> 00:47:04.840
 is

00:47:04.840 --> 00:47:04.980
 the

00:47:04.980 --> 00:47:05.300
 hero

00:47:05.300 --> 00:47:07.440
 it's

00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:07.640
 great

00:47:07.640 --> 00:47:08.100
 danger

00:47:08.100 --> 00:47:08.360
 for

00:47:08.360 --> 00:47:08.620
 us

00:47:08.620 --> 00:47:08.800
 when

00:47:08.800 --> 00:47:08.960
 we

00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:09.220
 read

00:47:09.220 --> 00:47:09.660
 scripture

00:47:09.660 --> 00:47:11.460
 when

00:47:11.460 --> 00:47:12.260
 men

00:47:12.260 --> 00:47:12.720
 and

00:47:12.720 --> 00:47:13.040
 women

00:47:13.040 --> 00:47:14.760
 when

00:47:14.760 --> 00:47:15.520
 humanity

00:47:15.520 --> 00:47:17.440
 becomes

00:47:17.440 --> 00:47:17.640
 the

00:47:17.640 --> 00:47:18.000
 hero

00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:19.900
 and

00:47:19.900 --> 00:47:20.700
 here's

00:47:20.700 --> 00:47:21.200
 what I'm

00:47:21.200 --> 00:47:21.640
 getting to

00:47:21.640 --> 00:47:22.260
 if

00:47:22.260 --> 00:47:24.340
 Joseph is

00:47:24.340 --> 00:47:24.760
 the hero

00:47:24.760 --> 00:47:25.320
 of this

00:47:25.320 --> 00:47:25.840
 story

00:47:25.840 --> 00:47:27.560
 then that

00:47:27.560 --> 00:47:28.060
 means that

00:47:28.060 --> 00:47:28.560
 I can be

00:47:28.560 --> 00:47:28.980
 the hero

00:47:28.980 --> 00:47:29.420
 of my

00:47:29.420 --> 00:47:29.820
 story

00:47:29.820 --> 00:47:31.260
 and that

00:47:31.260 --> 00:47:31.620
 you can

00:47:31.620 --> 00:47:31.900
 be the

00:47:31.900 --> 00:47:32.140
 hero

00:47:32.140 --> 00:47:32.560
 of your

00:47:32.560 --> 00:47:32.980
 story

00:47:32.980 --> 00:47:34.060
 and in

00:47:34.060 --> 00:47:34.440
 love

00:47:34.440 --> 00:47:34.820
 let me

00:47:34.820 --> 00:47:35.000
 say

00:47:35.000 --> 00:47:35.400
 this

00:47:35.400 --> 00:47:36.540
 you

00:47:36.540 --> 00:47:36.780
 make

00:47:36.780 --> 00:47:36.880
 a

00:47:36.880 --> 00:47:37.100
 bad

00:47:37.100 --> 00:47:37.440
 hero

00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:39.180
 and

00:47:39.180 --> 00:47:39.400
 so

00:47:39.400 --> 00:47:39.560
 do

00:47:39.560 --> 00:47:39.840
 I

00:47:39.840 --> 00:47:41.740
 because

00:47:41.740 --> 00:47:42.000
 you see

00:47:42.000 --> 00:47:42.480
 this isn't

00:47:42.480 --> 00:47:43.120
 Joseph's

00:47:43.120 --> 00:47:43.620
 story

00:47:43.620 --> 00:47:44.200
 of

00:47:44.200 --> 00:47:44.560
 forgiveness

00:47:44.560 --> 00:47:45.140
 this is

00:47:45.140 --> 00:47:45.640
 God's

00:47:45.640 --> 00:47:45.880
 story

00:47:45.880 --> 00:47:46.040
 of

00:47:46.040 --> 00:47:46.360
 forgiveness

00:47:46.360 --> 00:47:48.080
 this is

00:47:48.080 --> 00:47:48.860
 God's

00:47:48.860 --> 00:47:49.140
 story

00:47:49.140 --> 00:47:49.340
 of

00:47:49.340 --> 00:47:49.700
 forgiveness

00:47:49.700 --> 00:47:50.820
 and this

00:47:50.820 --> 00:47:51.200
 is the

00:47:51.200 --> 00:47:51.560
 story

00:48:03.800 --> 00:48:04.060
 him

00:48:04.060 --> 00:48:07.300
 and

00:48:07.300 --> 00:48:07.480
 his

00:48:07.480 --> 00:48:07.820

 think

00:48:41.000 --> 00:48:41.140
 of

 these

00:48:41.320 --> 00:48:41.880
 words

 that

00:48:48.180 --> 00:48:48.580
 for

00:48:51.800 --> 00:48:52.080
 six

00:48:52.080 --> 00:48:52.620
 words

00:48:52.620 --> 00:48:54.180
 he

00:48:54.180 --> 00:48:54.980
 made

00:48:54.980 --> 00:48:55.640
 him

00:48:55.640 --> 00:48:57.080
 to

00:48:57.080 --> 00:48:57.460
 be

00:48:57.460 --> 00:48:57.960
 sin

00:48:57.960 --> 00:49:01.420
 to

 be

00:49:01.740 --> 00:49:02.240
 sin

00:49:02.240 --> 00:49:04.580
 that

00:49:04.580 --> 00:49:04.780
 doesn't

00:49:04.780 --> 00:49:04.940
 even

00:49:04.940 --> 00:49:05.400
 sound

00:49:05.400 --> 00:49:05.840
 right

00:49:05.840 --> 00:49:07.320
 that

00:49:07.320 --> 00:49:07.500
 doesn't

00:49:07.500 --> 00:49:07.640
 even

00:49:07.640 --> 00:49:07.800
 seem

00:49:07.800 --> 00:49:08.620
 possible

00:49:08.620 --> 00:49:10.820
 who's

00:49:10.820 --> 00:49:11.280

00:49:11.440 --> 00:49:12.100
 Jesus

00:49:12.100 --> 00:49:13.760
 so

00:49:13.760 --> 00:49:14.320
 here's

00:49:14.320 --> 00:49:14.440

00:49:16.740 --> 00:49:17.040
 it

00:49:17.040 --> 00:49:17.220
 does

00:49:18.280 --> 00:49:19.100
 was

00:49:19.100 --> 00:49:19.480
 sin

 that

00:49:19.880 --> 00:49:20.320
 Jesus

00:49:20.320 --> 00:49:21.220
 did

00:49:21.220 --> 00:49:21.680

00:49:22.220 --> 00:49:22.580
 Jesus

00:49:22.580 --> 00:49:23.040
 was

00:49:23.040 --> 00:49:23.400
 guilty

00:49:23.400 --> 00:49:23.680
 of

00:49:25.460 --> 00:49:26.320
 became

00:49:26.320 --> 00:49:27.240
 sin

00:49:27.240 --> 00:49:28.040
 means

00:51:13.700 --> 00:51:14.600
 we

00:51:14.600 --> 00:51:14.820
 might

00:51:14.820 --> 00:51:15.160
 become

00:51:31.500 --> 00:51:31.840
 life

00:51:31.840 --> 00:51:32.040
 is

00:51:32.040 --> 00:51:32.300
 summed

00:51:32.300 --> 00:51:32.500
 up

00:51:32.500 --> 00:51:32.860
 with

00:51:32.860 --> 00:51:33.520
 he

00:51:33.520 --> 00:51:33.760
 says

00:51:33.760 --> 00:51:34.160
 I

00:51:34.160 --> 00:51:34.520
 take

00:51:34.520 --> 00:51:34.900
 all

00:51:34.900 --> 00:51:35.060
 of

00:51:35.060 --> 00:51:35.400
 your

00:51:35.400 --> 00:51:36.700
 sin

00:51:36.700 --> 00:51:38.720
 and

 I

00:51:38.880 --> 00:51:39.140
 give

00:51:39.140 --> 00:51:39.300
 you

00:51:39.300 --> 00:51:39.840
 righteousness

00:51:39.840 --> 00:51:45.680
 makes

00:51:45.680 --> 00:51:45.880
 me

00:51:45.880 --> 00:51:46.100
 bite

00:51:46.100 --> 00:51:46.320
 my

00:51:46.320 --> 00:51:46.620
 tongue

00:51:46.620 --> 00:51:46.820
 the

00:51:46.820 --> 00:51:47.040
 next

00:51:47.040 --> 00:51:47.340
 time

00:51:47.340 --> 00:51:47.520
 that

00:51:47.520 --> 00:51:47.660
 I

00:51:47.660 --> 00:51:47.860
 want

00:51:47.860 --> 00:51:48.000
 to

00:51:48.000 --> 00:51:48.160
 say

00:51:48.160 --> 00:51:48.320
 that

00:51:48.320 --> 00:51:48.340
 that

00:51:48.340 --> 00:51:48.560
 that's

00:51:48.560 --> 00:51:48.700
 not

00:51:48.700 --> 00:51:49.020
 fair

00:51:49.020 --> 00:51:51.820
 that

00:51:51.820 --> 00:51:51.940
 we

00:51:51.940 --> 00:51:52.040
 are

00:51:52.040 --> 00:51:52.220
 not

00:51:52.220 --> 00:51:52.560
 righteous

00:51:52.560 --> 00:51:52.860
 within

00:51:52.860 --> 00:51:53.360
 ourselves

00:51:53.360 --> 00:51:54.780
 but

00:51:54.780 --> 00:51:54.980
 we're

00:51:54.980 --> 00:51:55.280
 righteous

00:51:55.280 --> 00:51:55.500
 in

00:51:55.500 --> 00:51:55.720
 him

00:51:55.720 --> 00:51:57.980
 and

00:51:57.980 --> 00:51:58.120
 this

00:51:58.120 --> 00:51:58.280
 is

00:51:58.280 --> 00:51:58.580
 God's

00:51:58.580 --> 00:51:58.820
 story

00:51:58.820 --> 00:51:59.000
 of

00:51:59.000 --> 00:51:59.340
 forgiveness

00:51:59.340 --> 00:52:01.100
 and

00:52:01.100 --> 00:52:01.280
 this

00:52:01.280 --> 00:52:01.420
 is

00:52:01.420 --> 00:52:01.720
 God's

00:52:01.720 --> 00:52:01.920
 story

00:52:01.920 --> 00:52:02.080
 of

00:52:02.080 --> 00:52:02.540
 salvation

00:52:02.540 --> 00:52:04.120
 because

00:52:04.120 --> 00:52:04.400
 that's

00:52:04.400 --> 00:52:04.520
 how

00:52:04.520 --> 00:52:04.780
 God

00:52:04.780 --> 00:52:05.340
 saves

00:52:05.340 --> 00:52:06.280
 he

00:52:06.280 --> 00:52:06.800
 forgives

00:52:06.800 --> 00:52:08.800
 he

00:52:08.800 --> 00:52:09.300
 forgives

00:52:09.300 --> 00:52:12.160
 so

00:52:12.160 --> 00:52:12.300
 what's

00:52:12.300 --> 00:52:12.420

00:52:13.260 --> 00:52:16.080
 it's

00:52:16.080 --> 00:52:16.180
 the

00:52:16.180 --> 00:52:16.360
 same

00:52:16.360 --> 00:52:16.780

00:52:20.460 --> 00:52:20.960
 love

00:52:20.960 --> 00:52:22.500

00:54:30.500 --> 00:54:30.620
 of

00:54:30.620 --> 00:54:30.880
 heart

00:54:30.880 --> 00:54:32.220
 the

00:54:32.220 --> 00:54:32.760
 change

00:54:32.760 --> 00:54:32.900
 of

 heart

00:54:33.160 --> 00:54:33.520
 spiritually

00:54:33.520 --> 00:54:33.860
 speaking

00:54:33.860 --> 00:54:34.180
 of what

00:54:34.180 --> 00:54:34.520
 happens

00:54:34.520 --> 00:54:34.860
 to you

00:54:35.020 --> 00:54:35.480
 salvation

00:54:35.480 --> 00:54:35.740
 is

00:54:35.740 --> 00:54:35.900
 not

00:54:35.900 --> 00:54:36.040
 the

00:54:36.040 --> 00:54:36.360
 decision

00:54:36.360 --> 00:54:36.520
 that

00:54:36.520 --> 00:54:36.640
 you

00:54:36.640 --> 00:54:36.820
 make

00:54:36.820 --> 00:54:36.940
 that

00:54:36.940 --> 00:54:37.060
 I'm

00:54:37.060 --> 00:54:37.140
 going

00:54:37.140 --> 00:54:37.200
 to

00:54:37.200 --> 00:54:37.320
 do

00:54:37.320 --> 00:54:37.540
 better

00:54:37.540 --> 00:54:39.160
 it's

00:54:39.160 --> 00:54:39.460
 not

00:54:39.460 --> 00:54:40.760
 it's

00:54:40.760 --> 00:54:41.020
 not

00:54:41.020 --> 00:54:42.020
 do

00:54:42.020 --> 00:54:42.140
 I

00:54:42.140 --> 00:54:42.300
 think

00:54:42.300 --> 00:54:42.440
 that

00:54:42.440 --> 00:54:42.560
 you

00:54:42.560 --> 00:54:42.660
 and

00:54:42.660 --> 00:54:42.780
 I

00:54:42.780 --> 00:54:42.920
 should

00:54:42.920 --> 00:54:43.080
 wake

00:54:43.080 --> 00:54:43.200
 up

00:54:43.200 --> 00:54:43.400
 every

00:54:43.400 --> 00:54:43.700
 day

00:54:43.700 --> 00:54:44.900
 before

00:54:44.900 --> 00:54:45.060
 the

00:54:45.060 --> 00:54:45.280
 Lord

00:54:45.280 --> 00:54:45.380

 say

00:54:45.480 --> 00:54:45.760
 God

00:54:46.240 --> 00:54:46.520
 strength

00:54:46.520 --> 00:54:46.640
 and

00:54:46.640 --> 00:54:46.860
 ability

00:54:46.860 --> 00:54:46.980
 to

00:54:46.980 --> 00:54:47.060
 do

00:54:47.060 --> 00:54:47.260
 better

00:54:47.260 --> 00:54:47.500
 today

00:54:47.500 --> 00:54:47.660
 than

00:54:47.660 --> 00:54:47.780
 I

00:54:47.780 --> 00:54:47.900

00:54:48.220 --> 00:54:48.760
 absolutely

00:54:49.800 --> 00:54:50.040
 here's

00:54:50.040 --> 00:54:50.120

 the

00:54:50.220 --> 00:54:50.380
 Bible

00:54:50.380 --> 00:54:50.660
 tells

00:54:50.660 --> 00:54:50.820
 us

00:54:50.820 --> 00:54:50.920
 in

00:54:50.920 --> 00:54:51.440
 Ezekiel

00:54:51.440 --> 00:54:52.920
 that

00:54:52.920 --> 00:54:53.000
 he

00:54:53.000 --> 00:54:53.140
 took

00:54:53.140 --> 00:54:53.280
 out

00:54:53.280 --> 00:54:53.420
 the

00:54:53.420 --> 00:54:53.560
 heart

00:54:53.560 --> 00:54:53.680
 of

00:54:53.680 --> 00:54:53.960
 stone

00:54:53.960 --> 00:54:54.360
 the

00:54:54.360 --> 00:54:54.600
 hard

00:54:54.600 --> 00:54:54.860
 heart

00:54:54.860 --> 00:54:55.040
 the

 deceiving

00:54:55.380 --> 00:54:55.640
 heart

00:54:55.640 --> 00:54:55.800

00:54:56.740 --> 00:54:57.040
 he

00:54:57.040 --> 00:54:57.200
 gave

00:54:57.200 --> 00:54:57.320
 us

00:54:57.320 --> 00:54:57.500

00:54:58.120 --> 00:55:00.240
 heart

00:55:00.240 --> 00:55:00.340
 that

00:55:00.340 --> 00:55:00.420
 he

00:55:00.420 --> 00:55:00.540
 could

00:55:00.540 --> 00:55:00.820
 use

00:55:00.820 --> 00:55:01.040
 heart

00:55:01.040 --> 00:55:01.160

00:55:01.160 --> 00:55:01.220
 he

00:55:01.220 --> 00:55:01.340
 could

 grow

00:55:01.720 --> 00:55:03.300
 heart

00:55:03.300 --> 00:55:03.440
 that

00:55:03.440 --> 00:55:03.580
 can

00:55:03.580 --> 00:55:03.980
 mold

00:56:25.160 --> 00:56:25.580
 a follower

00:56:25.580 --> 00:56:26.120
 of God

00:56:26.120 --> 00:56:28.200
 and

00:56:28.200 --> 00:56:29.020
 for me

00:56:29.020 --> 00:56:30.500
 in the

00:56:30.500 --> 00:56:31.000
 language

00:56:31.000 --> 00:56:32.360
 that

00:56:32.360 --> 00:56:33.220
 churns

00:56:33.220 --> 00:56:34.420
 and stirs

00:56:34.420 --> 00:56:35.120
 my heart

00:56:35.120 --> 00:56:35.740
 the most

00:56:35.740 --> 00:56:37.520
 it's

00:56:37.520 --> 00:56:37.740
 the

00:56:37.740 --> 00:56:38.160
 imagery

00:56:38.160 --> 00:56:39.300
 and the

00:56:39.300 --> 00:56:39.700
 picture

00:56:39.700 --> 00:56:40.760
 and the

00:56:40.760 --> 00:56:41.100
 truth

00:56:41.100 --> 00:56:44.040
 but yet

00:56:44.040 --> 00:56:44.500
 I was

00:56:44.500 --> 00:56:45.080
 an enemy

00:56:45.080 --> 00:56:47.760
 that while

00:56:47.760 --> 00:56:48.080
 I was

00:56:48.080 --> 00:56:48.740
 actively

00:56:48.740 --> 00:56:49.500
 combatant

00:56:49.500 --> 00:56:49.840
 against

00:56:49.840 --> 00:56:50.220
 him

00:56:50.220 --> 00:56:52.540
 that God

00:56:52.540 --> 00:56:53.080
 loved me

00:56:53.080 --> 00:56:54.720
 and he

00:56:54.720 --> 00:56:55.380
 saved me

00:56:55.380 --> 00:56:57.020
 and he

00:56:57.020 --> 00:56:57.340
 made me

00:56:57.340 --> 00:56:57.740
 something

00:56:57.740 --> 00:57:00.640
 he

00:57:00.640 --> 00:57:01.460
 made me

00:57:01.460 --> 00:57:03.020
 a son

00:57:03.020 --> 00:57:03.420
 of God

00:57:03.420 --> 00:57:05.760
 that I'm

00:57:05.760 --> 00:57:06.260
 his son

00:57:06.260 --> 00:57:08.380
 and he's

00:57:08.380 --> 00:57:08.600
 my

00:57:08.600 --> 00:57:09.500
 he's my

00:57:09.500 --> 00:57:09.860
 dad

00:57:09.860 --> 00:57:11.980
 and he's

00:57:11.980 --> 00:57:12.220
 not my

00:57:12.220 --> 00:57:12.800
 dad for a

00:57:12.800 --> 00:57:13.120
 moment

00:57:13.120 --> 00:57:15.500
 he's

00:57:15.500 --> 00:57:15.800
 not my

00:57:15.800 --> 00:57:16.140
 dad

00:57:16.140 --> 00:57:17.400
 as long

00:57:17.400 --> 00:57:17.580
 as I

00:57:17.580 --> 00:57:17.800
 get it

00:57:17.800 --> 00:57:18.080
 right

00:57:18.080 --> 00:57:19.980
 he's

00:57:19.980 --> 00:57:20.340
 my dad

00:57:20.340 --> 00:57:20.620
 for all

00:57:20.620 --> 00:57:21.180
 of eternity

00:57:21.180 --> 00:57:23.120
 that's why

00:57:23.120 --> 00:57:23.720
 Jesus tells

00:57:23.720 --> 00:57:24.200
 us that

00:57:24.200 --> 00:57:27.060
 he goes

00:57:27.060 --> 00:57:27.760
 to prepare

00:57:27.760 --> 00:57:29.140
 a place

00:57:29.140 --> 00:57:29.700
 for us

00:57:29.700 --> 00:57:31.500
 and that

00:57:31.500 --> 00:57:31.820
 when he

00:57:31.820 --> 00:57:32.720
 returns

00:57:32.720 --> 00:57:34.820
 he's

00:57:34.820 --> 00:57:35.020
 going to

00:57:35.020 --> 00:57:35.860
 bring us

00:57:35.860 --> 00:57:38.060
 into his

00:57:38.060 --> 00:57:38.900
 father's

00:57:38.900 --> 00:57:39.980
 house

00:57:39.980 --> 00:57:43.060
 there's a

00:57:43.060 --> 00:57:43.620
 room there

00:57:43.620 --> 00:57:46.380
 and it's

00:57:46.380 --> 00:57:46.700
 got my

00:57:46.700 --> 00:57:47.140
 name on

00:57:47.140 --> 00:57:47.360
 it

00:57:47.360 --> 00:57:49.060
 and some

00:57:49.060 --> 00:57:49.280
 of you

00:57:49.280 --> 00:57:49.480
 are going

00:57:49.480 --> 00:57:49.620
 to have

00:57:49.620 --> 00:57:50.280
 big rooms

00:57:50.280 --> 00:57:51.540
 I'm

00:57:51.540 --> 00:57:51.900
 just glad

00:57:51.900 --> 00:57:52.220
 I get

00:57:52.220 --> 00:57:52.540
 like the

00:57:52.540 --> 00:57:52.780
 small

00:57:52.780 --> 00:57:53.100
 corner

00:57:53.100 --> 00:57:53.480
 closet

00:57:53.480 --> 00:57:53.960
 all right

00:57:53.960 --> 00:57:56.560
 but it's

00:57:56.560 --> 00:57:56.900
 there

00:57:56.900 --> 00:57:58.800
 because we're

00:57:58.800 --> 00:57:59.340
 a reconciled

00:57:59.340 --> 00:57:59.720
 family

00:57:59.720 --> 00:58:01.760
 and I

00:58:01.760 --> 00:58:02.180
 love

00:58:02.180 --> 00:58:04.440
 that Erin

00:58:04.440 --> 00:58:04.760
 is my

00:58:04.760 --> 00:58:05.160
 wife

00:58:05.160 --> 00:58:06.720
 I love

00:58:06.720 --> 00:58:07.000

00:58:07.000 --> 00:58:08.540

00:58:08.540 --> 00:58:09.060
 of eternity

00:58:09.060 --> 00:58:11.180
 she's my

00:58:11.180 --> 00:58:11.700
 sister in

00:58:13.900 --> 00:58:14.420
 love that

00:58:14.420 --> 00:58:14.680

00:59:29.040 --> 00:59:30.940
 God we

00:59:33.480 --> 00:59:35.960
 God we

00:59:35.960 --> 00:59:36.640

00:59:59.180 --> 00:59:59.720

 their fault

01:00:07.180 --> 01:00:08.140
 their failure

 ready to

01:00:15.480 --> 01:00:16.060
 not punish

01:00:16.060 --> 01:00:16.600
 them but

01:00:16.600 --> 01:00:17.180
 God give us

01:00:17.180 --> 01:00:17.680

01:00:17.680 --> 01:00:18.060
 heart where we

 desire to

01:00:18.520 --> 01:00:19.240
 bless them

01:00:19.240 --> 01:00:20.800

01:00:20.800 --> 01:00:21.820
 with them

01:00:21.820 --> 01:00:25.640
 but God I

01:00:25.640 --> 01:00:26.500
 also pray for

01:00:26.500 --> 01:00:27.460
 us as we're

01:00:27.460 --> 01:00:28.040
 here today

01:00:28.040 --> 01:00:30.380
 Lord and

01:00:30.380 --> 01:00:31.200
 there's so

01:00:31.200 --> 01:00:31.800
 many of

01:00:31.800 --> 01:00:32.300
 us

01:00:32.300 --> 01:00:35.560
 that are

01:00:35.560 --> 01:00:36.380
 trying

01:00:36.380 --> 01:00:38.220
 we're

01:00:38.220 --> 01:00:38.680
 trying

01:00:38.680 --> 01:00:40.280
 Lord to

01:00:40.280 --> 01:00:40.860
 figure out

01:00:40.860 --> 01:00:41.400
 a way

01:00:41.400 --> 01:00:43.440
 to do

01:00:43.440 --> 01:00:44.300
 more right

01:00:44.300 --> 01:00:45.580
 than wrong

01:00:45.580 --> 01:00:48.700
 to make

01:00:48.700 --> 01:00:49.400
 an appeal

01:00:49.400 --> 01:00:51.180
 to get

01:00:51.180 --> 01:00:51.560
 you to

01:00:51.560 --> 01:00:52.340
 love us

01:00:52.340 --> 01:00:55.220
 and God

01:00:55.220 --> 01:00:55.580
 may we

01:00:55.580 --> 01:00:56.420
 realize that

01:00:56.420 --> 01:00:57.060
 we can't

01:00:57.060 --> 01:00:59.200
 we can't

01:00:59.200 --> 01:01:01.180
 we can't

01:01:01.180 --> 01:01:01.900
 do enough

01:01:01.900 --> 01:01:04.160
 we can't

01:01:04.160 --> 01:01:04.900
 convince you

01:01:04.900 --> 01:01:06.560
 we can't

01:01:06.560 --> 01:01:06.940
 back you

01:01:06.940 --> 01:01:07.240
 into a

01:01:07.240 --> 01:01:07.580
 corner

01:01:07.580 --> 01:01:09.720
 we can't

01:01:09.720 --> 01:01:09.980
 make you

01:01:09.980 --> 01:01:10.560
 an appeal

01:01:10.560 --> 01:01:12.660
 that God

01:01:12.660 --> 01:01:13.180
 that just

01:01:13.180 --> 01:01:13.560
 it is

01:01:13.560 --> 01:01:14.660
 in you

01:01:14.660 --> 01:01:15.180
 it is

01:01:15.180 --> 01:01:16.060
 your nature

01:01:16.060 --> 01:01:16.720
 it's your

01:01:16.720 --> 01:01:17.400
 character

01:01:17.400 --> 01:01:18.340
 it's who

01:01:18.340 --> 01:01:19.040
 you are

01:01:19.040 --> 01:01:21.940
 that you

01:01:21.940 --> 01:01:22.500
 just love

01:01:22.500 --> 01:01:22.900
 us

01:01:22.900 --> 01:01:24.800
 and that

01:01:24.800 --> 01:01:25.300
 you forgive

01:01:25.300 --> 01:01:25.800
 us

01:01:25.800 --> 01:01:27.360
 and that

01:01:27.360 --> 01:01:27.960
 you welcome

01:01:27.960 --> 01:01:28.640
 us into

01:01:28.640 --> 01:01:29.180
 a relationship

01:01:29.180 --> 01:01:29.600
 with you

01:01:29.600 --> 01:01:30.380
 so God I

01:01:30.380 --> 01:01:30.740
 pray for

01:01:30.740 --> 01:01:31.500
 everyone here

01:01:31.500 --> 01:01:32.260
 Lord who

01:01:32.260 --> 01:01:32.980
 doesn't know

01:01:32.980 --> 01:01:33.240
 you

01:01:33.240 --> 01:01:35.400
 who doesn't

01:01:35.400 --> 01:01:35.760
 know of your

01:01:35.760 --> 01:01:36.400
 goodness and your

01:01:36.400 --> 01:01:37.060
 kindness and your

01:01:37.060 --> 01:01:37.380
 mercy

01:01:37.380 --> 01:01:37.960
 Lord they may

01:01:37.960 --> 01:01:38.720
 know of religion

01:01:38.720 --> 01:01:39.540
 they may know of

01:01:39.540 --> 01:01:40.480
 practice but they

01:01:40.480 --> 01:01:41.120
 do not know what a

01:01:41.120 --> 01:01:41.760
 relationship with

01:01:41.760 --> 01:01:42.540
 God looks like

01:01:42.540 --> 01:01:43.080
 God and I pray

01:01:43.080 --> 01:01:43.760
 that right now

01:01:43.760 --> 01:01:45.060
 in their heart

01:01:45.060 --> 01:01:45.460
 within their

01:01:45.460 --> 01:01:45.920
 within their

01:01:45.920 --> 01:01:46.400
 being Lord

01:01:46.400 --> 01:01:46.860
 from their

01:01:46.860 --> 01:01:47.460
 spirit

01:01:47.460 --> 01:01:48.740
 the Holy Spirit

01:01:48.740 --> 01:01:49.380
 will begin to

01:01:49.380 --> 01:01:50.260
 work and move

01:01:50.260 --> 01:01:51.440
 in their life

01:01:51.440 --> 01:01:53.060
 and that God

01:01:53.060 --> 01:01:53.420
 right now

01:01:53.420 --> 01:01:54.480
 between you

01:01:54.480 --> 01:01:55.180
 and them

01:01:55.180 --> 01:01:56.800
 between you

01:01:56.800 --> 01:01:57.080
 and them

01:01:57.080 --> 01:01:58.120
 it's a humility

01:01:58.120 --> 01:01:58.840
 before them

01:01:58.840 --> 01:01:59.700
 it's a submission

01:01:59.700 --> 01:02:00.920
 of the will

01:02:00.920 --> 01:02:01.760
 it's a submission

01:02:01.760 --> 01:02:02.520
 of the spirit

01:02:02.520 --> 01:02:03.280
 it's a submission

01:02:03.280 --> 01:02:03.800
 of the heart

01:02:03.800 --> 01:02:04.440
 that right now

01:02:04.440 --> 01:02:04.940
 between you

01:02:04.940 --> 01:02:05.320
 and them

01:02:05.320 --> 01:02:06.240
 it's Lord

01:02:06.240 --> 01:02:07.560
 that I'm a

01:02:07.560 --> 01:02:07.760
 sinner

01:02:07.760 --> 01:02:09.560
 and that I

01:02:09.560 --> 01:02:10.180
 cannot do

01:02:10.180 --> 01:02:10.740
 anything

01:02:10.740 --> 01:02:12.740
 to earn

01:02:12.740 --> 01:02:13.920
 your love

01:02:13.920 --> 01:02:14.540
 your kindness

01:02:14.540 --> 01:02:16.120
 your mercy

01:02:16.120 --> 01:02:16.720
 your favor

01:02:16.720 --> 01:02:19.800
 they'll admit

01:02:19.800 --> 01:02:22.380
 God I pray

01:02:22.380 --> 01:02:22.720
 that they would

01:02:22.720 --> 01:02:23.260
 believe

01:02:23.260 --> 01:02:25.540
 they'd believe

01:02:25.540 --> 01:02:27.400
 they'd believe

01:02:27.400 --> 01:02:28.320
 in Jesus Christ

01:02:28.320 --> 01:02:31.160
 they'd believe

01:02:31.160 --> 01:02:31.460
 that

01:02:31.460 --> 01:02:33.820
 Jesus Christ

01:02:33.820 --> 01:02:34.340
 came

01:02:34.340 --> 01:02:35.700
 he died

01:02:35.700 --> 01:02:36.480
 on the cross

01:02:36.480 --> 01:02:38.180
 he paid the

01:02:38.180 --> 01:02:38.800
 price for their

01:02:38.800 --> 01:02:39.220
 sins

01:02:39.220 --> 01:02:41.060
 sin past

01:02:41.060 --> 01:02:42.260
 sin present

01:02:42.260 --> 01:02:43.380
 sin future

01:02:43.380 --> 01:02:45.940
 they would

01:02:45.940 --> 01:02:46.440
 believe

01:02:46.440 --> 01:02:48.640
 they'd believe

01:02:48.640 --> 01:02:50.120
 that his body

01:02:50.120 --> 01:02:50.580
 was put into

01:02:50.580 --> 01:02:51.040
 a tomb

01:02:51.040 --> 01:02:52.580
 and that three

01:02:52.580 --> 01:02:53.120
 days later

01:02:53.120 --> 01:02:53.940
 he rose again

01:02:53.940 --> 01:02:56.180
 they would

01:02:56.180 --> 01:02:56.720
 believe

01:02:56.720 --> 01:02:58.540
 they'd believe

01:02:58.540 --> 01:03:00.480
 that he

01:03:00.480 --> 01:03:02.020
 is

01:03:02.020 --> 01:03:03.520
 the king

01:03:03.520 --> 01:03:04.540
 of kings

01:03:04.540 --> 01:03:05.700

01:03:16.200 --> 01:03:18.640
 god that

01:03:18.640 --> 01:03:18.920
 they would

01:03:18.920 --> 01:03:19.800
 confess you
