Class 2 from this series was used in GCT Episode 285.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:08,760 –> 00:00:12,560
\nGood morning to everyone, the
\nnotes you have. <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:12,560 –> 00:00:16,320
\nBefore you contain only a small
\nfraction of of what I want to <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:16,320 –> 00:00:20,880
\nsay in the course of these
\ntalks, if God be willing, and <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:20,880 –> 00:00:22,320
\nwhat I.
\nHave to say constitutes. <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:22,320 –> 00:00:25,640
\nOnly a very small fraction of
\nall that might be said about the<\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:25,640 –> 00:00:31,200
\nwork of the Lord Jesus Christ.
\nAbout the work of the Lord. <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:31,200 –> 00:00:34,800
\nJesus Christ.
\nLeading up to and culminating <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:34,800 –> 00:00:39,360
\nupon his cross the Witch.
\nIf I can borrow a praise from <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:39,360 –> 00:00:43,280
\nJohn’s Gospel.
\nThe things which the. <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:43,280 –> 00:00:44,520
\nLord did.
\nIf they should be written, <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:44,520 –> 00:00:48,120
\neveryone, I suppose even the
\nworld itself could not contain <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:48,120 –> 00:00:49,320
\nthe books that should be.
\nWritten. <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:52,480 –> 00:00:54,840
\nThey have been reminded that
\nwhen I first came here some <\/p>\n
15
\n00:00:55,040 –> 00:01:00,360
\ndecades ago, the topic which was
\nthen accepted for the second <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:00,360 –> 00:01:05,840
\nIdlewild Bible school from me
\nwas Meditations on the Cross. <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:08,880 –> 00:01:10,040
\nTwo things have happened since
\nthen. <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:10,040 –> 00:01:12,240
\nOne is that the decades have
\nruled by and our memories are <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:12,240 –> 00:01:15,760
\nnot perfect.
\nAnd the 2nd is. <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:15,760 –> 00:01:17,200
\nThat I’ve.
\nDone a good deal more <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:17,200 –> 00:01:20,480
\nmeditating.
\nSo what has to be offered now <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:20,480 –> 00:01:23,360
\nwill certainly have a lot in
\ncommon with what I said at that <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:23,360 –> 00:01:28,240
\ntime, for those of you who
\nremember, but I hope will <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:29,120 –> 00:01:31,960
\ninvolve some measure of growth
\nin an understanding of this <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:32,480 –> 00:01:36,920
\ntremendous topic.
\nI want to draw two things from <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:36,920 –> 00:01:40,040
\nthings I’ve already said during
\nthis week 1 to a young people’s <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:40,040 –> 00:01:43,520
\nclass and the other to last
\nSunday morning’s Bible class <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:43,520 –> 00:01:49,680
\nhere, and I hope I may be
\nforgiven for the repetition to <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:49,680 –> 00:01:52,200
\nthe young people’s class.
\nI recorded the. <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:52,720 –> 00:01:56,680
\nOpening words of a confession of
\nfaith by two different people <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:57,960 –> 00:02:00,240
\nwhen they were asked why they
\nwanted to be baptized. <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:02,320 –> 00:02:06,320
\nThe first was well.
\nThat’s the way to eternal life <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:06,320 –> 00:02:10,440
\nand that’s where I want to go.
\nNo 3 guesses that to. <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:10,440 –> 00:02:14,720
\nMy shame was me.
\nAnd the other was to a young <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:14,720 –> 00:02:17,720
\nperson who had not been brought
\nup in a Christadelphian <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:17,720 –> 00:02:20,920
\nbackground, who made known to
\nthe sister who had instructed <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:20,920 –> 00:02:22,640
\nher that she wanted to be
\nbaptized. <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:22,640 –> 00:02:25,320
\nAnd when she was asked and why
\ndo you want to be baptized? <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:25,320 –> 00:02:28,320
\nShe answered.
\nWhen I think. <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:28,320 –> 00:02:31,480
\nOf the Lord Jesus.
\nChrist hanging in agony upon His<\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:31,480 –> 00:02:34,400
\ncross, and I know that was done
\nfor me. <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:35,560 –> 00:02:37,200
\nSomething has to be.
\nDone about that. <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:39,280 –> 00:02:40,880
\nHow I could wish in God’s grace
\nthat I? <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:40,880 –> 00:02:43,600
\nHad thought of that?
\nWhen they asked. <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:43,600 –> 00:02:45,520
\nMe.
\nWhy I wanted to be baptized, but<\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:45,520 –> 00:02:48,920
\nI thought.
\nAbout it, since out of the mouth<\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:48,920 –> 00:02:52,040
\nof that particular babe and
\nsuckling great wisdom came for <\/p>\n
48
\n00:02:52,040 –> 00:02:57,640
\nthe instruction of us all.
\nA further general comment. <\/p>\n
49
\n00:02:59,360 –> 00:03:03,080
\nI don’t know whether if you look
\ndown your ecclesial programs of <\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:03,720 –> 00:03:07,320
\nSunday public addresses, you
\nwould find the cross of Christ <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:07,320 –> 00:03:12,880
\nfiguring largely.
\nI hope so, but I don’t expect. <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:12,880 –> 00:03:16,560
\nSo.
\nI don’t know whether you divided<\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:16,560 –> 00:03:17,880
\nup.
\nThe things that are discussed <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:17,880 –> 00:03:19,640
\nyou would find.
\nThat a lot of. <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:19,640 –> 00:03:23,440
\nAttention is given to the second
\ncoming of the Lord, as it should<\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:23,440 –> 00:03:26,400
\nbe.
\nA good deal? <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:26,400 –> 00:03:28,960
\nOf attention is given us to when
\nhe will come back. <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:30,240 –> 00:03:31,960
\nWhich has.
\nOver the years had its <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:31,960 –> 00:03:36,160
\nembarrassments there.
\nIs a good deal of time. <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:36,160 –> 00:03:38,920
\nWe’ve devoted to.
\nSeeking to divide who it is. <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:39,000 –> 00:03:41,240
\nWho will come down to take a
\nspoil to take a prey? <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:41,400 –> 00:03:42,960
\nIn the land of.
\nUnwalled villages with <\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:42,960 –> 00:03:46,040
\nfluctuating conclusions
\nconcerning which we are <\/p>\n
64
\n00:03:46,040 –> 00:03:50,920
\ncurrently very much in the
\nmelting pot and that very, very.<\/p>\n
65
\n00:03:50,920 –> 00:03:53,320
\nLittle.
\nThey said about the. <\/p>\n
66
\n00:03:53,320 –> 00:03:59,240
\nCross of Christ.
\nSome few years ago, I had to go <\/p>\n
67
\n00:03:59,240 –> 00:04:04,640
\nto Norway on behalf of the Bible
\nmission to begin the recent <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:04,640 –> 00:04:06,280
\nChristadelphian preaching in
\nthat country. <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:06,280 –> 00:04:08,360
\nAnd while I was there, I bought
\na Norwegian Bible. <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:10,360 –> 00:04:14,000
\nI bought a cheap one.
\nAnd I hadn’t noticed how it was <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:14,000 –> 00:04:16,839
\nbound.
\nBut when I got back, some <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:16,920 –> 00:04:20,760
\nbrother called attention to the
\nimage that was emblazoned on the<\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:20,760 –> 00:04:23,960
\nfront and he said ah.
\nGot the. <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:23,960 –> 00:04:31,080
\nSign of the beast on it.
\nI see it was a cross and some <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:31,080 –> 00:04:33,200
\nyoung member of a
\nChristadelphian household came <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:33,200 –> 00:04:34,400
\nto me.
\nAnd he. <\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:34,400 –> 00:04:37,000
\nToo saw that inscription on the
\nfront of my Bible and he said. <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:37,160 –> 00:04:38,760
\nOh, we don’t.
\nBelieve in the cross. <\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:38,760 –> 00:04:42,680
\nDo we, Uncle?
\nWell, we do, don’t we? <\/p>\n
80
\n00:04:44,440 –> 00:04:48,000
\nAnd I would like this morning to
\nspend a good deal of attention <\/p>\n
81
\n00:04:48,000 –> 00:04:51,080
\nin showing how very important.
\nIt is to believe in it. <\/p>\n
82
\n00:04:54,200 –> 00:04:56,000
\nI seem to remember that, Paul
\nsaid. <\/p>\n
83
\n00:04:56,920 –> 00:05:01,160
\nGod forbid that I.
\nShould glory saving the. <\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:01,160 –> 00:05:05,920
\nCross of Jesus Christ.
\nMy Lord, by which the world has <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:05,920 –> 00:05:09,840
\nbeen crucified unto me and.
\nI am to the world. <\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:12,360 –> 00:05:14,640
\nI seem to remember on one
\noccasion he walked to Mr. <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:14,640 –> 00:05:17,520
\nSophisticated Town where many of
\nthem there? <\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:17,520 –> 00:05:20,560
\nWould have known much more about
\nGreek philosophy than any of us <\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:20,560 –> 00:05:23,280
\nknow, and perhaps even than Paul
\nthan learned Paul would have <\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:23,280 –> 00:05:25,480
\nknown.
\nBut he wasn’t. <\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:25,480 –> 00:05:29,240
\nPrepared to compete?
\nWho knew more or? <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:29,240 –> 00:05:31,640
\nMost about the things in the
\nworld around them. <\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:31,640 –> 00:05:33,320
\nPaul did not.
\nCare and he said. <\/p>\n
94
\n00:05:33,440 –> 00:05:38,240
\nI determined to know nothing.
\nAmong you save Jesus Christ, and<\/p>\n
95
\n00:05:38,240 –> 00:05:43,720
\nhim crucified Jesus Christ.
\nAnd him crucified. <\/p>\n
96
\n00:05:45,920 –> 00:05:47,720
\nThat same Apostle Paul wrote
\nabout himself. <\/p>\n
97
\n00:05:48,560 –> 00:05:50,560
\nI have been crucified with
\nChrist. <\/p>\n
98
\n00:05:52,120 –> 00:05:56,480
\nNevertheless, I live.
\nAnd yet, no longer I but Christ.<\/p>\n
99
\n00:05:56,480 –> 00:06:00,600
\nLiveth in me.
\nAnd that same Apostle Paul. <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:00,600 –> 00:06:03,880
\nWrote to you and me.
\nThere that our Christ have <\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:03,920 –> 00:06:06,600
\ncrucified the flesh.
\nWith the. <\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:06,600 –> 00:06:12,640
\nAffections and lusts thereof.
\nSo whatever part the cross. <\/p>\n
103
\n00:06:13,000 –> 00:06:16,200
\nPraise in our preaching.
\nIn our excitation in our study. <\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:16,200 –> 00:06:17,880
\nAnd in our meditation it played
\na. <\/p>\n
105
\n00:06:17,920 –> 00:06:23,800
\nVery large part, a central part.
\nIndeed, if I may call in its <\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:23,800 –> 00:06:25,800
\nown.
\nPhrase a crucial. <\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:25,800 –> 00:06:29,200
\nPart in the thinking of the
\nbelievers of. <\/p>\n
108
\n00:06:29,200 –> 00:06:33,200
\nThose days.
\nThe cross well, the. <\/p>\n
109
\n00:06:33,200 –> 00:06:39,200
\nCrossroads where human thought
\ncame to a stop and. <\/p>\n
110
\n00:06:39,200 –> 00:06:43,320
\nContemplated the wisdom of God.
\nAnd thought about itself. <\/p>\n
111
\n00:06:44,240 –> 00:06:48,040
\nAnd pride retired, discomfited,
\nand humility. <\/p>\n
112
\n00:06:48,040 –> 00:06:49,960
\nMounted the place.
\nSide by side. <\/p>\n
113
\n00:06:49,960 –> 00:06:53,160
\nWith where the Lord?
\nHung in agony, and said, Lord, <\/p>\n
114
\n00:06:53,160 –> 00:06:55,280
\nRemember Me when thou comest in
\nthy Kingdom. <\/p>\n
115
\n00:06:58,680 –> 00:07:00,640
\nThere is no.
\nSuch topic as this. <\/p>\n
116
\n00:07:01,960 –> 00:07:03,960
\nTo keep us humble if that is
\nwhere we are. <\/p>\n
117
\n00:07:05,840 –> 00:07:07,720
\nTo make us humble if.
\nWe are not there. <\/p>\n
118
\n00:07:09,320 –> 00:07:10,760
\nTo restore.
\nUs to humility. <\/p>\n
119
\n00:07:10,960 –> 00:07:14,920
\nWe have straight away.
\nAnd make us glory in nothing <\/p>\n
120
\n00:07:14,920 –> 00:07:16,600
\nsave what has God has.
\nDone for us. <\/p>\n
121
\n00:07:17,920 –> 00:07:20,240
\nAnd in nothing that we think we
\nhave done for ourselves. <\/p>\n
122
\n00:07:24,360 –> 00:07:27,320
\nAnd now to take up what was the
\ntopic of a talk last Sunday. <\/p>\n
123
\n00:07:27,320 –> 00:07:32,120
\nBut briefly, I want you to
\npicture before your minds the <\/p>\n
124
\n00:07:32,120 –> 00:07:37,200
\nRiver Jordan, but John the
\nBaptist standing there, having <\/p>\n
125
\n00:07:37,400 –> 00:07:42,800
\nperformed his mission of baptism
\nupon publicans extortionate. <\/p>\n
126
\n00:07:42,800 –> 00:07:46,920
\nTax collectors, that is.
\nPilots. <\/p>\n
127
\n00:07:46,920 –> 00:07:48,600
\nWe call them prostitutes.
\nToday. <\/p>\n
128
\n00:07:50,480 –> 00:07:52,400
\nAnd sinners of all.
\nKinds who were willing. <\/p>\n
129
\n00:07:52,400 –> 00:07:54,400
\nBut to.
\nFulfil this simple condition. <\/p>\n
130
\n00:07:54,600 –> 00:07:58,840
\nThat they would go to John and
\nconfess their sins before they <\/p>\n
131
\n00:07:58,840 –> 00:08:04,240
\ncould be baptized by him in
\nJordan when John. <\/p>\n
132
\n00:08:04,240 –> 00:08:06,160
\nStood there with two of his
\ndisciples. <\/p>\n
133
\n00:08:06,360 –> 00:08:09,160
\nThose two must have.
\nBeen two of those. <\/p>\n
134
\n00:08:09,160 –> 00:08:11,760
\nMany who had.
\nAccepted his baptism. <\/p>\n
135
\n00:08:13,960 –> 00:08:15,880
\nAnd we don’t know that.
\nStage know anything against. <\/p>\n
136
\n00:08:15,880 –> 00:08:19,040
\nThem.
\nIf we learn things later, which <\/p>\n
137
\n00:08:19,040 –> 00:08:21,440
\nmake us?
\nRealize how human John the <\/p>\n
138
\n00:08:21,440 –> 00:08:24,320
\nbrother of James.
\nWas but if. <\/p>\n
139
\n00:08:24,360 –> 00:08:26,960
\nAs we suspect, Andrew was no
\nbetter than. <\/p>\n
140
\n00:08:26,960 –> 00:08:27,960
\nHuman.
\nThen those. <\/p>\n
141
\n00:08:27,960 –> 00:08:32,480
\nTwo were men who would see that,
\ngentle though their sins might <\/p>\n
142
\n00:08:32,480 –> 00:08:35,640
\nhave been.
\nGood though their public. <\/p>\n
143
\n00:08:35,640 –> 00:08:38,360
\nReputation might have been.
\nThey like the. <\/p>\n
144
\n00:08:38,360 –> 00:08:41,480
\nPublicans and the.
\nHarlots were sinners and should <\/p>\n
145
\n00:08:41,480 –> 00:08:44,000
\nbe baptized.
\nWith the baptism of John. <\/p>\n
146
\n00:08:44,640 –> 00:08:50,920
\nSo there had been.
\nAnd so had someone else some <\/p>\n
147
\n00:08:50,920 –> 00:08:54,240
\ndays.
\nBefore, some weeks before. <\/p>\n
148
\n00:08:54,240 –> 00:08:57,560
\nI think it would have been,
\nprobably not. <\/p>\n
149
\n00:08:57,560 –> 00:09:01,120
\nLess, but not much.
\nMore than six weeks before, John<\/p>\n
150
\n00:09:01,120 –> 00:09:06,200
\nhad conducted another baptism.
\nAnd while the publicans and the <\/p>\n
151
\n00:09:06,200 –> 00:09:09,400
\nharlots were flocking.
\nTo him and the. <\/p>\n
152
\n00:09:09,400 –> 00:09:12,320
\nPharisees were standing aloof
\nwith superior. <\/p>\n
153
\n00:09:12,320 –> 00:09:17,880
\nGaze and contemptuous glance
\nthere came to John, to Jordan, <\/p>\n
154
\n00:09:19,080 –> 00:09:23,080
\nJesus of Nazareth.
\nTo be baptized by him. <\/p>\n
155
\n00:09:26,520 –> 00:09:29,000
\nIf we had to take this meaning,
\nexactly what it? <\/p>\n
156
\n00:09:29,000 –> 00:09:32,280
\nSays the words of John chapter
\none, then when John later. <\/p>\n
157
\n00:09:32,280 –> 00:09:34,640
\nSix weeks later, says.
\nI knew him not. <\/p>\n
158
\n00:09:35,640 –> 00:09:37,080
\nWe were supposed that he.
\nDid not at. <\/p>\n
159
\n00:09:37,080 –> 00:09:39,040
\nOnce recognize the person who
\ncame to. <\/p>\n
160
\n00:09:39,040 –> 00:09:43,560
\nBe baptized, he might not have
\ndone. <\/p>\n
161
\n00:09:45,200 –> 00:09:46,960
\nThey might never have met up to
\nnow. <\/p>\n
162
\n00:09:48,560 –> 00:09:50,520
\nElizabeth, John’s mother, had
\nbeen in the hill. <\/p>\n
163
\n00:09:50,520 –> 00:09:53,480
\nCountry in the wilderness and.
\nShe had not met. <\/p>\n
164
\n00:09:53,480 –> 00:09:56,160
\nMary the Mother.
\nOf the Lord at that time. <\/p>\n
165
\n00:09:57,400 –> 00:09:59,040
\nAnd perhaps during the whole.
\nPeriod. <\/p>\n
166
\n00:09:59,280 –> 00:10:00,320
\nSince.
\nJohn was in the. <\/p>\n
167
\n00:10:00,320 –> 00:10:03,120
\nDesert until the day of his
\nshowing unto Israel. <\/p>\n
168
\n00:10:03,200 –> 00:10:06,640
\nBut now they met.
\nFor the first time. <\/p>\n
169
\n00:10:07,360 –> 00:10:11,880
\nPerhaps when Jesus came to
\nJordan to John. <\/p>\n
170
\n00:10:12,080 –> 00:10:16,800
\nTo be baptized by him.
\nWould you look with me at the? <\/p>\n
171
\n00:10:16,800 –> 00:10:18,800
\nCircumstances in Matthew.
\nChapter 3. <\/p>\n
172
\n00:10:23,240 –> 00:10:26,280
\nThe earlier verses up to verse
\n13 have been devoted to <\/p>\n
173
\n00:10:26,280 –> 00:10:28,160
\ndescribing John’s general
\nmission. <\/p>\n
174
\n00:10:28,160 –> 00:10:30,280
\nPreparing the Word of the Lord
\nand the people Who. <\/p>\n
175
\n00:10:30,280 –> 00:10:33,120
\nCame to him and the sinners who
\nrepented, and the. <\/p>\n
176
\n00:10:33,680 –> 00:10:35,240
\nPeople who?
\nWould not repent to whom? <\/p>\n
177
\n00:10:35,240 –> 00:10:38,000
\nJohn warned that this.
\nMight be their last opportunity.<\/p>\n
178
\n00:10:38,200 –> 00:10:41,360
\nFor behold, the axe was laid at
\nthe root of the tree, and if the<\/p>\n
179
\n00:10:41,680 –> 00:10:43,960
\npeople did not repent, then the
\ntree they represented would be <\/p>\n
180
\n00:10:43,960 –> 00:10:47,240
\ncut down.
\nAnd in that partly. <\/p>\n
181
\n00:10:47,240 –> 00:10:49,560
\nPenitent, partly hostile
\ncommunity. <\/p>\n
182
\n00:10:49,920 –> 00:10:52,600
\nCame the Lord Jesus.
\nChrist and we read verse 13. <\/p>\n
183
\n00:10:54,760 –> 00:10:57,720
\nThen cometh Jesus from Galilee
\nto the Jordan. <\/p>\n
184
\n00:10:57,720 –> 00:11:02,360
\nAnd to John to be baptized of
\nhim, but John would have <\/p>\n
185
\n00:11:02,360 –> 00:11:04,400
\nhindered him saying.
\nI have need to be. <\/p>\n
186
\n00:11:04,440 –> 00:11:07,880
\nBaptized of thee, and comest
\nthou to me? <\/p>\n
187
\n00:11:10,560 –> 00:11:13,640
\nHow did he know?
\nThat he had need to be. <\/p>\n
188
\n00:11:13,640 –> 00:11:17,360
\nBaptized by this one, whom he
\nlater confesses, I knew him not,<\/p>\n
189
\n00:11:17,960 –> 00:11:20,960
\nbut he that said unto me, upon
\nwhom thou shalt see the Spirit <\/p>\n
190
\n00:11:20,960 –> 00:11:23,000
\ndescending like a dove it.
\nIs he that shall. <\/p>\n
191
\n00:11:23,000 –> 00:11:25,280
\nBaptize with the Holy Spirit.
\nHow did John? <\/p>\n
192
\n00:11:25,360 –> 00:11:28,040
\nWho had not yet.
\nHad that experience know? <\/p>\n
193
\n00:11:28,040 –> 00:11:30,680
\nThat the relationship between
\nJesus. <\/p>\n
194
\n00:11:30,680 –> 00:11:32,920
\nAnd himself was such.
\nThat better. <\/p>\n
195
\n00:11:32,920 –> 00:11:33,880
\nThan would be better the other
\nway. <\/p>\n
196
\n00:11:33,880 –> 00:11:37,200
\nRound but his.
\nCharacter can bed. <\/p>\n
197
\n00:11:37,200 –> 00:11:39,000
\nWith the Lord’s.
\nCharacter would make. <\/p>\n
198
\n00:11:39,000 –> 00:11:41,560
\nHim, the Suppliant, the.
\nPenitent, the confessor of sins,<\/p>\n
199
\n00:11:42,640 –> 00:11:44,040
\nand Jesus.
\nChrist the receiver. <\/p>\n
200
\n00:11:44,120 –> 00:11:46,400
\nThe baptizer?
\nThe conveyor of grace? <\/p>\n
201
\n00:11:48,520 –> 00:11:52,840
\nI don’t know.
\nIt could just be that the very. <\/p>\n
202
\n00:11:52,840 –> 00:11:55,960
\nDemeanour of Jesus marked him
\nout from the shamefaced. <\/p>\n
203
\n00:11:55,960 –> 00:11:58,760
\nBlushes of the Pharisee, of the
\npublicans and the Harlots. <\/p>\n
204
\n00:12:00,360 –> 00:12:02,000
\nIt could.
\nJust be that. <\/p>\n
205
\n00:12:02,400 –> 00:12:05,240
\nJohn knew something that we
\ndon’t know in a way. <\/p>\n
206
\n00:12:05,240 –> 00:12:09,000
\nWe don’t know about, but it is
\nnot. <\/p>\n
207
\n00:12:09,000 –> 00:12:11,680
\nQuite true that he and Jesus.
\nHad not met before. <\/p>\n
208
\n00:12:14,080 –> 00:12:19,000
\nThey had met. 30 years before.
\nBefore either of them was born. <\/p>\n
209
\n00:12:21,360 –> 00:12:23,000
\nAnd.
\nElizabeth having, but lately <\/p>\n
210
\n00:12:23,000 –> 00:12:26,760
\nbeen given the power to bear a
\nchild by that quickening of her.<\/p>\n
211
\n00:12:26,760 –> 00:12:28,840
\nWomb and of the.
\nPowers of Zacharias. <\/p>\n
212
\n00:12:29,280 –> 00:12:33,280
\nWhich God had given her,
\nencountered Mary the Mother. <\/p>\n
213
\n00:12:33,280 –> 00:12:36,240
\nOf the Lord Jesus, but lately
\nthe subject. <\/p>\n
214
\n00:12:36,240 –> 00:12:40,400
\nOf the Holy Spirit’s action and
\nwhen they came together, <\/p>\n
215
\n00:12:41,080 –> 00:12:42,120
\nElizabeth.
\nSaid. <\/p>\n
216
\n00:12:42,760 –> 00:12:45,640
\nWhence is it that?
\nThe mother of my. <\/p>\n
217
\n00:12:45,640 –> 00:12:49,480
\nLord is coming to me.
\nFor when the child that. <\/p>\n
218
\n00:12:49,480 –> 00:12:52,920
\nIs in me.
\nSaw thy coming, it leapt in my. <\/p>\n
219
\n00:12:52,920 –> 00:12:57,760
\nWomb for joy.
\nSo in some way. <\/p>\n
220
\n00:12:57,760 –> 00:13:00,800
\nQuite unknown to us.
\nEven the unborn, John. <\/p>\n
221
\n00:13:00,800 –> 00:13:04,360
\nResponded to the presence of the
\nmajesty of the Son of God. <\/p>\n
222
\n00:13:06,880 –> 00:13:09,640
\nAnd if the unborn John could do?
\nThat then John the Baptiser. <\/p>\n
223
\n00:13:09,640 –> 00:13:13,360
\nAt the age of 30 plus.
\nWith no prejudices to warn him <\/p>\n
224
\n00:13:13,360 –> 00:13:15,280
\nagainst.
\nThe Lord Jesus coming might. <\/p>\n
225
\n00:13:15,280 –> 00:13:17,280
\nWithin himself somehow have.
\nPerceived that. <\/p>\n
226
\n00:13:17,280 –> 00:13:20,560
\nThis was one.
\nGreater than he, as he had said,<\/p>\n
227
\n00:13:21,800 –> 00:13:26,640
\nthe latches of whose shoes he
\nwas not worthy to unloose, and <\/p>\n
228
\n00:13:26,640 –> 00:13:28,080
\nso.
\nI have. <\/p>\n
229
\n00:13:28,080 –> 00:13:30,200
\nNeed to be baptized of thee,
\nsaid John. <\/p>\n
230
\n00:13:33,440 –> 00:13:35,600
\nIt would have been so.
\nTempting to accept the words of <\/p>\n
231
\n00:13:35,600 –> 00:13:37,880
\nJohn at their face value.
\nAnd agree and retire. <\/p>\n
232
\n00:13:37,880 –> 00:13:39,640
\nAnd decide.
\nNot to be baptized. <\/p>\n
233
\n00:13:41,600 –> 00:13:44,680
\nHe would have come so naturally.
\nTo me, had I been there and had <\/p>\n
234
\n00:13:44,680 –> 00:13:47,520
\nJohn, which he could not have
\ndone, said such a thing to me. <\/p>\n
235
\n00:13:47,960 –> 00:13:49,800
\nTo say.
\nYes, he’s right, isn’t he? <\/p>\n
236
\n00:13:51,160 –> 00:13:53,640
\nAll those being.
\nBaptized are sinners in. <\/p>\n
237
\n00:13:53,640 –> 00:13:57,360
\nOne way or another, gross
\nsinners coarse, sinners <\/p>\n
238
\n00:13:57,800 –> 00:13:59,520
\nrapacious.
\nSinners, but sinners every. <\/p>\n
239
\n00:13:59,520 –> 00:14:02,440
\nOne of them.
\nAnd that’s for me. <\/p>\n
240
\n00:14:02,440 –> 00:14:06,000
\nI have done done no sin.
\nI shouldn’t need. <\/p>\n
241
\n00:14:06,000 –> 00:14:10,320
\nTo be baptized should I?
\nJohn’s humble. <\/p>\n
242
\n00:14:10,320 –> 00:14:13,720
\nAbdication might well have.
\nAppealed to any pride that could<\/p>\n
243
\n00:14:13,720 –> 00:14:15,040
\nhave.
\nInfluenced the work. <\/p>\n
244
\n00:14:15,040 –> 00:14:17,360
\nOf the Lord Jesus Christ.
\nAnd turned him away. <\/p>\n
245
\n00:14:17,360 –> 00:14:21,880
\nFrom baptism.
\nNot the Lord we know. <\/p>\n
246
\n00:14:23,680 –> 00:14:27,560
\nThat was not his way.
\nIt’s quite evidence there was a.<\/p>\n
247
\n00:14:27,560 –> 00:14:30,640
\nStruggle of will between John
\nwho said I shouldn’t baptize <\/p>\n
248
\n00:14:30,640 –> 00:14:32,520
\nyou, and withstood him, which
\nseems. <\/p>\n
249
\n00:14:32,520 –> 00:14:34,360
\nTo be a very.
\nPowerful withstanding. <\/p>\n
250
\n00:14:35,560 –> 00:14:38,760
\nAnd the Lord’s statement suffer
\nit to be so now. <\/p>\n
251
\n00:14:38,960 –> 00:14:41,080
\nFor thus it’s.
\nBecometh us to fulfil. <\/p>\n
252
\n00:14:41,080 –> 00:14:43,160
\nAll righteousness.
\nFrom which he would. <\/p>\n
253
\n00:14:43,160 –> 00:14:46,560
\nNot move.
\nIn his subservience to his God <\/p>\n
254
\n00:14:46,560 –> 00:14:51,000
\nand his Father.
\nSo John gave way. <\/p>\n
255
\n00:14:53,120 –> 00:14:54,640
\nAnd the Lord was.
\nBaptized. <\/p>\n
256
\n00:14:56,080 –> 00:14:58,160
\nAnd he went down into the.
\nWater and as he came. <\/p>\n
257
\n00:14:58,160 –> 00:15:00,480
\nOut of the water, so.
\nThis record in Matthew which I <\/p>\n
258
\n00:15:00,480 –> 00:15:02,720
\nhave been.
\nParaphrasing tells us the. <\/p>\n
259
\n00:15:02,720 –> 00:15:05,640
\nSpirit of heaven God descended
\nfrom heaven in the shape of a <\/p>\n
260
\n00:15:05,640 –> 00:15:07,760
\ndove, and a voice was heard
\nsaying. <\/p>\n
261
\n00:15:08,560 –> 00:15:11,760
\nThis is my beloved.
\nSon in whom I am well pleased <\/p>\n
262
\n00:15:15,160 –> 00:15:16,600
\nthere’ll be more.
\nTo say about that and. <\/p>\n
263
\n00:15:16,600 –> 00:15:18,600
\nSimilar divine declarations
\nlater. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:15:19,920 –> 00:15:22,560
\nBut for all.
\nWe know about the omnipotence of<\/p>\n
265
\n00:15:22,560 –> 00:15:25,400
\nGod and his knowing things from
\nthe beginning and the fact. <\/p>\n
266
\n00:15:25,400 –> 00:15:27,680
\nThat he wouldn’t be.
\nAware of what Jesus Christ was <\/p>\n
267
\n00:15:27,680 –> 00:15:31,200
\ngoing.
\nTo do if I. <\/p>\n
268
\n00:15:31,200 –> 00:15:32,880
\nAs a son in relation to my own
\nnow. <\/p>\n
269
\n00:15:32,880 –> 00:15:35,480
\nDeceased father can remember
\nrightly. <\/p>\n
270
\n00:15:37,120 –> 00:15:38,840
\nThat I as a.
\nFather, in relation to my own <\/p>\n
271
\n00:15:38,840 –> 00:15:41,640
\nnow grown sons, can assess the
\nway I. <\/p>\n
272
\n00:15:41,640 –> 00:15:44,920
\nFelt.
\nI think there was in him for all<\/p>\n
273
\n00:15:44,920 –> 00:15:48,240
\nhis concealment there was in me
\nfor. <\/p>\n
274
\n00:15:48,240 –> 00:15:49,680
\nWhatever I may have.
\nReacted. <\/p>\n
275
\n00:15:51,320 –> 00:15:53,720
\nA glow of.
\nPleasure when my son said to me <\/p>\n
276
\n00:15:53,720 –> 00:15:54,880
\nor.
\nI said to him. <\/p>\n
277
\n00:15:55,640 –> 00:15:57,600
\nWe would.
\nLike to be baptized? <\/p>\n
278
\n00:16:00,240 –> 00:16:02,520
\nAnd God’s foreknowledge.
\nIs not a hinder. <\/p>\n
279
\n00:16:02,520 –> 00:16:05,920
\nTo to his feelings.
\nHis awareness of what will. <\/p>\n
280
\n00:16:05,920 –> 00:16:07,560
\nHappen does not.
\nMake him simply. <\/p>\n
281
\n00:16:07,720 –> 00:16:09,480
\nMechanically turn over the leaf
\nof A. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:16:09,480 –> 00:16:14,400
\nDiary, when something happens,
\nhe too feels what is going on. <\/p>\n
283
\n00:16:16,560 –> 00:16:18,360
\nAnd I.
\nHave no doubt that when the Lord<\/p>\n
284
\n00:16:18,360 –> 00:16:22,080
\nJesus Christ had humbly.
\nAccepted his baptism and. <\/p>\n
285
\n00:16:22,080 –> 00:16:25,600
\nCame up to complete that and was
\nreceived. <\/p>\n
286
\n00:16:25,600 –> 00:16:27,000
\nBy the greeting of the spirit
\nof. <\/p>\n
287
\n00:16:27,000 –> 00:16:30,600
\nGod from heaven.
\nIn the shape of a dove, then the<\/p>\n
288
\n00:16:30,600 –> 00:16:32,440
\nvoice.
\nThat said, from heaven, this is <\/p>\n
289
\n00:16:32,440 –> 00:16:34,280
\nmy beloved Son, in whom I am
\nwell. <\/p>\n
290
\n00:16:34,280 –> 00:16:38,280
\nPleased was saying.
\nIn my vernacular, well done, my <\/p>\n
291
\n00:16:38,280 –> 00:16:40,520
\nson.
\nI’m very. <\/p>\n
292
\n00:16:40,520 –> 00:16:42,120
\nPleased with you for what you’ve
\ndone. <\/p>\n
293
\n00:16:44,040 –> 00:16:46,200
\nIn the sort of way, my father.
\nWould have said to me. <\/p>\n
294
\n00:16:47,840 –> 00:16:52,840
\nAnd with the same joy and John
\nlooked on. <\/p>\n
295
\n00:16:54,200 –> 00:16:55,720
\nHe had done.
\nThe thing he would. <\/p>\n
296
\n00:16:55,720 –> 00:16:58,160
\nNot wish to do.
\nHe had accepted the grace he. <\/p>\n
297
\n00:16:58,160 –> 00:17:01,120
\nShrugged his shrank from.
\nHe had touched the. <\/p>\n
298
\n00:17:01,120 –> 00:17:03,880
\nBody of the Son of God, and
\nbaptized him and now. <\/p>\n
299
\n00:17:03,880 –> 00:17:06,319
\nGod has said what?
\nA great thing that condescension<\/p>\n
300
\n00:17:06,319 –> 00:17:08,440
\nwas and John.
\nKnew him now. <\/p>\n
301
\n00:17:10,800 –> 00:17:14,599
\nAnd the Lord was taken away,
\ndriven. <\/p>\n
302
\n00:17:14,599 –> 00:17:16,760
\nSays mark by the.
\nSpirit of God into the. <\/p>\n
303
\n00:17:16,760 –> 00:17:21,359
\nWilderness and during.
\nTherefore the 40. <\/p>\n
304
\n00:17:21,359 –> 00:17:24,400
\nDays, I have referred to the
\ntemptation which must. <\/p>\n
305
\n00:17:24,440 –> 00:17:26,280
\nArise.
\nLater in this series. <\/p>\n
306
\n00:17:26,280 –> 00:17:31,440
\nOf talks today, an emerging
\ntriumphant. <\/p>\n
307
\n00:17:33,240 –> 00:17:37,480
\nNot having sinned.
\nYou know there. <\/p>\n
308
\n00:17:37,480 –> 00:17:40,000
\nAre some words that ring untrue.
\nI said. <\/p>\n
309
\n00:17:40,000 –> 00:17:41,720
\nTriumphant, although it wasn’t
\nthe right. <\/p>\n
310
\n00:17:41,720 –> 00:17:44,840
\nWord to say, just to awaken you.
\nAnd me to the way in which Jesus<\/p>\n
311
\n00:17:44,840 –> 00:17:47,320
\ndid emerge from everything.
\nHe never triumphed. <\/p>\n
312
\n00:17:49,000 –> 00:17:51,080
\nHe never.
\nAdopted A triumphant attitude. <\/p>\n
313
\n00:17:53,080 –> 00:17:56,400
\nWhat he did was obey and work.
\nAnd love and Labour. <\/p>\n
314
\n00:17:56,400 –> 00:17:59,240
\nAnd serve and supper and die and
\nall to the glory. <\/p>\n
315
\n00:17:59,240 –> 00:18:03,160
\nOf his father.
\nAnd the manner in which he <\/p>\n
316
\n00:18:03,160 –> 00:18:05,080
\nendured the temptations.
\nIn the woodless was. <\/p>\n
317
\n00:18:05,080 –> 00:18:08,080
\nOur same kind.
\nMan does not live by bread <\/p>\n
318
\n00:18:08,080 –> 00:18:10,720
\nalone.
\nI will not tempt the Lord. <\/p>\n
319
\n00:18:10,720 –> 00:18:13,320
\nThy God thus.
\nWorship the Lord thy God, and <\/p>\n
320
\n00:18:13,320 –> 00:18:16,680
\nhim alone shalt thou serve.
\nHe came from a. <\/p>\n
321
\n00:18:16,680 –> 00:18:21,640
\nVictorious encounter with those.
\nTemptations with his humble. <\/p>\n
322
\n00:18:21,640 –> 00:18:25,440
\nObedience to God intact,
\nunchallenged. <\/p>\n
323
\n00:18:25,440 –> 00:18:28,760
\nBy the pride or lust or desire
\nor ambition of man. <\/p>\n
324
\n00:18:31,080 –> 00:18:35,200
\nAnd he came back to Jordan, and
\nJohn saw. <\/p>\n
325
\n00:18:35,200 –> 00:18:38,720
\nHim from afar.
\nAnd as John. <\/p>\n
326
\n00:18:38,720 –> 00:18:40,120
\nChapter One.
\nTells us, he said. <\/p>\n
327
\n00:18:40,120 –> 00:18:43,280
\nTo his two disciples.
\nBehold the Lamb of God. <\/p>\n
328
\n00:18:45,400 –> 00:18:49,640
\nThat taketh away the sin of the.
\nWorld the title. <\/p>\n
329
\n00:18:49,640 –> 00:18:53,480
\nOf this first talk.
\nAnd then again a little later, <\/p>\n
330
\n00:18:53,920 –> 00:18:59,760
\nbehold the Lamb of God and the
\ntwo disciples, John the brother <\/p>\n
331
\n00:18:59,760 –> 00:19:01,520
\nof James.
\nAnd Andrew, we leave them to <\/p>\n
332
\n00:19:01,520 –> 00:19:03,960
\nhave been.
\nWent and followed Jesus and <\/p>\n
333
\n00:19:03,960 –> 00:19:05,600
\nsaid.
\nRabbi, where dwelleth thou? <\/p>\n
334
\n00:19:05,920 –> 00:19:09,600
\nAnd were taken to his temporary.
\nHome by him who had no home. <\/p>\n
335
\n00:19:10,320 –> 00:19:13,240
\nWorse off than the birds of the.
\nAir and the foxes of their in <\/p>\n
336
\n00:19:13,240 –> 00:19:21,320
\ntheir holes and had their first.
\nApplication of his teaching, but<\/p>\n
337
\n00:19:21,320 –> 00:19:24,640
\nJohn spoke.
\nAndrew and. <\/p>\n
338
\n00:19:24,640 –> 00:19:26,440
\nJohn, the brother of the brother
\nof. <\/p>\n
339
\n00:19:26,440 –> 00:19:33,560
\nJames Heard and who else?
\nHeard Jesus was sharp of hearing<\/p>\n
340
\n00:19:35,840 –> 00:19:36,760
\nhe.
\nCould tell what people were <\/p>\n
341
\n00:19:36,760 –> 00:19:38,080
\nsaying when they were walking a
\ngood way. <\/p>\n
342
\n00:19:38,080 –> 00:19:40,360
\nBehind and.
\nConversing secretly amongst <\/p>\n
343
\n00:19:40,360 –> 00:19:41,840
\nthemselves, hoping the Lord
\nwouldn’t. <\/p>\n
344
\n00:19:41,840 –> 00:19:43,800
\nKnow he could when they came.
\nTo him. <\/p>\n
345
\n00:19:43,800 –> 00:19:45,560
\nSay what?
\nWas that you were disputing? <\/p>\n
346
\n00:19:45,560 –> 00:19:48,720
\nWith you, by the way.
\nI’m sure you could have told <\/p>\n
347
\n00:19:48,720 –> 00:19:52,400
\nthem the answer.
\nHe was aware of was in the <\/p>\n
348
\n00:19:52,400 –> 00:19:54,320
\nhearts.
\nOf men before they spoke the <\/p>\n
349
\n00:19:54,320 –> 00:19:55,640
\nLord.
\nKnew what was. <\/p>\n
350
\n00:19:55,640 –> 00:19:58,880
\nIn men and if.
\nJohn the Baptist. <\/p>\n
351
\n00:19:58,880 –> 00:20:00,680
\nVoice would not be.
\nAudible as a voice. <\/p>\n
352
\n00:20:02,120 –> 00:20:03,480
\nI have no.
\nDoubt the Lord would have <\/p>\n
353
\n00:20:03,600 –> 00:20:06,720
\napprehended.
\nWhat he said because. <\/p>\n
354
\n00:20:06,720 –> 00:20:07,920
\nHe was the Lord with such
\npowers. <\/p>\n
355
\n00:20:07,920 –> 00:20:12,760
\nBelonging to him.
\nSo suppose now. <\/p>\n
356
\n00:20:13,160 –> 00:20:14,720
\nYou had been walking.
\nBy. <\/p>\n
357
\n00:20:16,720 –> 00:20:20,160
\nAnd John had pointed at you.
\nAnd he had said that you had <\/p>\n
358
\n00:20:20,160 –> 00:20:23,440
\nheard him.
\nBehold the Lamb of God. <\/p>\n
359
\n00:20:26,040 –> 00:20:28,240
\nWhat thoughts would have gone
\nthrough your mind? <\/p>\n
360
\n00:20:31,120 –> 00:20:33,520
\nSuppose he had said.
\nBehold the love of God that <\/p>\n
361
\n00:20:33,520 –> 00:20:35,400
\ntaketh away the sin of the
\nworld. <\/p>\n
362
\n00:20:36,760 –> 00:20:38,320
\nWhat additional?
\nThoughts would have. <\/p>\n
363
\n00:20:38,640 –> 00:20:45,040
\nPierced your mind, wounded, your
\nthinking given. <\/p>\n
364
\n00:20:45,040 –> 00:20:47,040
\nVoice to the anxiety.
\nYou were already. <\/p>\n
365
\n00:20:47,040 –> 00:20:49,080
\nFeeling and made you.
\nLook at the future. <\/p>\n
366
\n00:20:50,760 –> 00:20:52,280
\nAnd see at.
\nLeast as clearly. <\/p>\n
367
\n00:20:52,280 –> 00:20:55,280
\nAs you had ever seen.
\nWhat it was that? <\/p>\n
368
\n00:20:55,280 –> 00:21:00,360
\nWas in store for you.
\nBehold the love of God. <\/p>\n
369
\n00:21:00,360 –> 00:21:05,000
\nSaid John.
\nWhen they were going to <\/p>\n
370
\n00:21:05,000 –> 00:21:09,400
\nsacrifice a lamb in old.
\nTestament times and especially. <\/p>\n
371
\n00:21:09,400 –> 00:21:10,800
\nUnder the injunction.
\nThat they must not. <\/p>\n
372
\n00:21:10,800 –> 00:21:12,520
\nSacrifice a lamb with.
\nBlemish that. <\/p>\n
373
\n00:21:13,520 –> 00:21:15,400
\nThey must pick out from their.
\nFlocks. <\/p>\n
374
\n00:21:15,520 –> 00:21:17,440
\nOne that seemed to them to be
\nflawless. <\/p>\n
375
\n00:21:17,440 –> 00:21:20,600
\nIn all its characteristics you
\ncan. <\/p>\n
376
\n00:21:20,600 –> 00:21:22,920
\nPicture the shepherd.
\nGoing to his flock. <\/p>\n
377
\n00:21:22,920 –> 00:21:28,600
\nAnd looking them over.
\nAnd walking amongst them, and <\/p>\n
378
\n00:21:28,600 –> 00:21:31,120
\nfinally laying his hand on the
\nhead of one and saying. <\/p>\n
379
\n00:21:31,880 –> 00:21:40,600
\nThat, that’s the one I’ll take.
\nAnd the Lord Jesus Christ walked<\/p>\n
380
\n00:21:40,600 –> 00:21:44,280
\namong the multitudes.
\nAnd John revealed in the simple.<\/p>\n
381
\n00:21:44,280 –> 00:21:46,160
\nWords he used.
\nThat the Almighty. <\/p>\n
382
\n00:21:46,160 –> 00:21:54,000
\nHad said that one.
\nThat’s the Lamb of God, and he <\/p>\n
383
\n00:21:54,000 –> 00:21:57,200
\nknew it was himself to which
\nreference was being made. <\/p>\n
384
\n00:22:00,440 –> 00:22:02,680
\nI don’t think it was the 1st.
\nTime that that thought came into<\/p>\n
385
\n00:22:02,720 –> 00:22:06,120
\nJesus.
\nMind, I don’t know. <\/p>\n
386
\n00:22:06,120 –> 00:22:07,640
\nBecause we are not told as far
\nas I’m. <\/p>\n
387
\n00:22:07,640 –> 00:22:09,720
\nAware when the first the Lord
\nfirst. <\/p>\n
388
\n00:22:09,720 –> 00:22:14,280
\nApprehended his Messiah.
\nNick mission very early. <\/p>\n
389
\n00:22:14,280 –> 00:22:18,200
\nI think it would have been but.
\nThere was at least something of <\/p>\n
390
\n00:22:18,200 –> 00:22:19,880
\nit there when at the age of 12,
\nhe. <\/p>\n
391
\n00:22:19,880 –> 00:22:21,840
\nDisputed with the scribes in the
\ntemple in. <\/p>\n
392
\n00:22:21,840 –> 00:22:25,400
\nJerusalem.
\nAnd his answer to his mother, <\/p>\n
393
\n00:22:25,560 –> 00:22:27,280
\nDid you not know that I must be
\nabout? <\/p>\n
394
\n00:22:27,280 –> 00:22:29,200
\nMy father’s business.
\nWould already. <\/p>\n
395
\n00:22:29,200 –> 00:22:30,960
\nReveal that he knew.
\nWho his father was. <\/p>\n
396
\n00:22:31,120 –> 00:22:32,720
\nAnd that.
\nIt was his father’s work he was <\/p>\n
397
\n00:22:32,720 –> 00:22:35,040
\ncome to do.
\nAnd whether at that age he saw <\/p>\n
398
\n00:22:35,040 –> 00:22:36,320
\nthe cross ahead of.
\nHim I do not. <\/p>\n
399
\n00:22:36,320 –> 00:22:40,760
\nKnow but.
\nI think he knew it before John. <\/p>\n
400
\n00:22:40,760 –> 00:22:43,960
\nTold him.
\nHe was already in his mind <\/p>\n
401
\n00:22:43,960 –> 00:22:46,280
\nbefore it was made.
\nPublic by those very painful <\/p>\n
402
\n00:22:46,280 –> 00:22:49,360
\npublic words, behold the Lamb of
\nGod that taketh away. <\/p>\n
403
\n00:22:49,360 –> 00:22:53,120
\nThe sin of the world?
\nWell, there’s no mistaking the <\/p>\n
404
\n00:22:53,120 –> 00:22:55,160
\nimport of the words Lambs.
\nTo take away. <\/p>\n
405
\n00:22:55,160 –> 00:22:59,920
\nSlim sin were sacrificed.
\nA lamb as an. <\/p>\n
406
\n00:22:59,920 –> 00:23:03,160
\nOffering was put.
\nTo death, John was. <\/p>\n
407
\n00:23:03,160 –> 00:23:06,840
\nSaying that man is.
\nGoing to die for the sins of. <\/p>\n
408
\n00:23:06,840 –> 00:23:10,560
\nThe world I don’t.
\nEven know how? <\/p>\n
409
\n00:23:10,560 –> 00:23:13,800
\nMuch John himself understood the
\nwords were played. <\/p>\n
410
\n00:23:13,800 –> 00:23:15,240
\nEnough and it’s.
\nHard to understand any. <\/p>\n
411
\n00:23:15,240 –> 00:23:17,840
\nOther meaning for them?
\nAnd perhaps there is some other <\/p>\n
412
\n00:23:17,840 –> 00:23:21,600
\nexplanation of why John.
\nIn prison, in great unhappiness.<\/p>\n
413
\n00:23:22,000 –> 00:23:24,560
\nWith no expectation of being.
\nDelivered from the Headsman. <\/p>\n
414
\n00:23:24,560 –> 00:23:27,480
\n‘S acts sent messages.
\nTo the Lord saying. <\/p>\n
415
\n00:23:27,760 –> 00:23:30,280
\nArt thou he that should come or
\nlook, we for another? <\/p>\n
416
\n00:23:33,000 –> 00:23:35,080
\nWell, at least at that time, I
\nthink even later. <\/p>\n
417
\n00:23:35,080 –> 00:23:39,280
\nPerhaps.
\nJohn understood or made us to <\/p>\n
418
\n00:23:39,280 –> 00:23:43,160
\nunderstand that the.
\nPurpose of God had Jesus dying <\/p>\n
419
\n00:23:43,160 –> 00:23:46,760
\nfor our sins according to the
\nscriptures. <\/p>\n
420
\n00:23:50,040 –> 00:23:52,200
\nHe knew the scriptures.
\nWell, this Jesus did. <\/p>\n
421
\n00:23:54,360 –> 00:23:58,120
\nHe could stand up in the
\nsynagogue at Nazareth, and when <\/p>\n
422
\n00:23:58,120 –> 00:24:00,400
\nthey gave him the scrolls
\ncontaining a part of the Old <\/p>\n
423
\n00:24:00,400 –> 00:24:03,120
\nTestament to read, he could find
\nthe 61st. <\/p>\n
424
\n00:24:03,120 –> 00:24:05,800
\nChapter of Isaiah.
\nYou could read the words. <\/p>\n
425
\n00:24:05,920 –> 00:24:08,640
\nThe Spirit of the Lord God is
\nupon me because he hath <\/p>\n
426
\n00:24:08,640 –> 00:24:10,320
\nanointed.
\nMe to. <\/p>\n
427
\n00:24:10,320 –> 00:24:12,520
\nPreach the Gospels.
\nOf proclaimed deliverance to <\/p>\n
428
\n00:24:12,520 –> 00:24:14,600
\nproclaim the.
\nOpening of prisons and then. <\/p>\n
429
\n00:24:14,760 –> 00:24:16,680
\nHaving given the robe.
\nBack and sat. <\/p>\n
430
\n00:24:16,680 –> 00:24:23,000
\nDown, he could say.
\nThat means me this. <\/p>\n
431
\n00:24:23,000 –> 00:24:26,040
\nDay.
\nIs this scripture fulfilled? <\/p>\n
432
\n00:24:26,040 –> 00:24:30,960
\nIn your ears.
\nAnd if he knew that, about the <\/p>\n
433
\n00:24:30,960 –> 00:24:32,520
\npreaching of the.
\nGospel of peace. <\/p>\n
434
\n00:24:33,800 –> 00:24:36,520
\nIt is not possible to believe
\nthat he did not also know. <\/p>\n
435
\n00:24:36,720 –> 00:24:38,960
\nThe route he must.
\nTread to bring that peace. <\/p>\n
436
\n00:24:38,960 –> 00:24:43,640
\nAs Paul would later write, he is
\nour peace. <\/p>\n
437
\n00:24:45,080 –> 00:24:48,280
\nWhich had made both one and
\nbroken down the middle wall of <\/p>\n
438
\n00:24:48,280 –> 00:24:49,680
\npartition.
\nThat was between us. <\/p>\n
439
\n00:24:51,440 –> 00:24:56,240
\nHe has made peace by the blood
\nof his cross, Paul would write. <\/p>\n
440
\n00:24:58,720 –> 00:25:00,280
\nAnd I’m.
\nSure that Jesus saw. <\/p>\n
441
\n00:25:00,360 –> 00:25:04,160
\nThat when he stood.
\nUp to read in the synagogue at <\/p>\n
442
\n00:25:04,160 –> 00:25:05,440
\nNazareth.
\nWhen he sat. <\/p>\n
443
\n00:25:05,440 –> 00:25:09,520
\nDown to preach.
\nAnd maybe saw it yet more. <\/p>\n
444
\n00:25:09,520 –> 00:25:12,160
\nPainfully when having preached.
\nTo them about the abounding <\/p>\n
445
\n00:25:12,160 –> 00:25:14,080
\ngrace of God to Gentiles as well
\nas. <\/p>\n
446
\n00:25:14,080 –> 00:25:16,160
\nJews, they were angry.
\nWith him and they. <\/p>\n
447
\n00:25:16,160 –> 00:25:18,600
\nTook him out of their synagogue.
\nAnd they took him to the brow of<\/p>\n
448
\n00:25:18,600 –> 00:25:20,240
\nthe hill.
\nOn which their city was built, <\/p>\n
449
\n00:25:20,240 –> 00:25:21,520
\nand he would.
\nHave cast him headlong. <\/p>\n
450
\n00:25:24,840 –> 00:25:26,680
\nThey were not able to do more.
\nThan that. <\/p>\n
451
\n00:25:27,160 –> 00:25:31,120
\nNot then, for Jesus passed out.
\nOf the midst. <\/p>\n
452
\n00:25:31,120 –> 00:25:36,480
\nOf them and went his way.
\nBut there is one recurrent <\/p>\n
453
\n00:25:36,480 –> 00:25:39,480
\nphrase in John’s Gospel.
\nIn particular, sometimes from <\/p>\n
454
\n00:25:39,480 –> 00:25:40,440
\nthe.
\nLips of the Lord. <\/p>\n
455
\n00:25:40,520 –> 00:25:43,600
\nSometimes from the pen of the
\nwriter, his art was not yet <\/p>\n
456
\n00:25:43,600 –> 00:25:46,000
\ncome.
\nWhat I’d like to do with. <\/p>\n
457
\n00:25:46,000 –> 00:25:49,320
\nThee mine are is not yet come.
\nThey are covers. <\/p>\n
458
\n00:25:50,640 –> 00:25:51,640
\nThey are.
\nIs come. <\/p>\n
459
\n00:25:52,920 –> 00:25:55,320
\nThis is your.
\nHour and the power of darkness. <\/p>\n
460
\n00:25:57,520 –> 00:26:00,120
\nAnd to all those.
\nMeasures of time yet to come. <\/p>\n
461
\n00:26:01,000 –> 00:26:04,560
\nClose by at hand.
\nAnd now? <\/p>\n
462
\n00:26:04,560 –> 00:26:08,240
\nHappening, Jesus saw the.
\nPassage of the time. <\/p>\n
463
\n00:26:08,240 –> 00:26:11,960
\nThat would lead him to his death
\nupon the cross. <\/p>\n
464
\n00:26:15,480 –> 00:26:17,240
\nThere are many.
\nOther indications of that? <\/p>\n
465
\n00:26:19,040 –> 00:26:21,680
\nCarefully through the words of
\nJesus from both early. <\/p>\n
466
\n00:26:21,680 –> 00:26:25,000
\nDays till later days we see how
\nevidently he was. <\/p>\n
467
\n00:26:25,000 –> 00:26:27,000
\nAware of what?
\nWas in store for him. <\/p>\n
468
\n00:26:29,720 –> 00:26:33,560
\nWhy do not your disciples fast?
\nSo the Pharisees and the. <\/p>\n
469
\n00:26:33,560 –> 00:26:37,520
\nDisciples of John to him and
\nthe. <\/p>\n
470
\n00:26:37,520 –> 00:26:39,800
\nLord said in reply.
\nCan the children of the? <\/p>\n
471
\n00:26:39,800 –> 00:26:43,520
\nBride chamber fast.
\nWhile the bridegroom is with <\/p>\n
472
\n00:26:43,520 –> 00:26:47,520
\nthem.
\nThe hour is coming when the <\/p>\n
473
\n00:26:47,520 –> 00:26:49,520
\nbridegroom.
\nShall be taken away from them. <\/p>\n
474
\n00:26:51,800 –> 00:26:56,480
\nAnd then shall they fast.
\nIn those days and. <\/p>\n
475
\n00:26:56,480 –> 00:26:59,400
\nWhat else could he have met?
\nThen that the. <\/p>\n
476
\n00:26:59,760 –> 00:27:02,680
\nCourse of their engagement.
\nWould not run smooth. <\/p>\n
477
\n00:27:02,720 –> 00:27:05,800
\nHe and his bride.
\nThat there might. <\/p>\n
478
\n00:27:05,800 –> 00:27:08,680
\nBe an expectation.
\nOf an early union in the glories<\/p>\n
479
\n00:27:08,680 –> 00:27:10,360
\nof the Kingdom, but it was not
\nto be that. <\/p>\n
480
\n00:27:10,360 –> 00:27:12,640
\nWay.
\nAll their hopes and their joys <\/p>\n
481
\n00:27:12,640 –> 00:27:16,080
\nconcentrated in the association.
\nOf the Lord. <\/p>\n
482
\n00:27:16,080 –> 00:27:19,560
\nWith his spiritual bride.
\nWere to be postponed as they <\/p>\n
483
\n00:27:19,560 –> 00:27:23,200
\nwould see it.
\nUntil the bridegroom returned. <\/p>\n
484
\n00:27:23,200 –> 00:27:24,880
\nFrom a long and.
\nPainful journey. <\/p>\n
485
\n00:27:26,880 –> 00:27:28,520
\nAnd the hour.
\nIs coming when the bridegroom <\/p>\n
486
\n00:27:28,760 –> 00:27:33,760
\nshall be taken away from them.
\nIt’s a quite instructive. <\/p>\n
487
\n00:27:33,760 –> 00:27:37,360
\nExercise to go through.
\nAll the passages in the Gospels <\/p>\n
488
\n00:27:37,360 –> 00:27:38,960
\nwhere.
\nThe symbols of a. <\/p>\n
489
\n00:27:38,960 –> 00:27:42,360
\nMarriage.
\nAre there like the great peace <\/p>\n
490
\n00:27:42,360 –> 00:27:43,920
\nto which guests are invited and
\nwon’t? <\/p>\n
491
\n00:27:43,920 –> 00:27:45,920
\nCome, and so those from the
\nhighways and the. <\/p>\n
492
\n00:27:45,920 –> 00:27:51,040
\nByways are brought in instead,
\nlike the 10 virgins 5 whom are <\/p>\n
493
\n00:27:51,040 –> 00:27:55,800
\nwise and five are foolish.
\nLike the Lord Jesus Christ as <\/p>\n
494
\n00:27:55,800 –> 00:27:57,160
\nthe.
\nBridegroom and John the Baptist <\/p>\n
495
\n00:27:57,160 –> 00:28:00,880
\nas the best man.
\nIt’s a strange business. <\/p>\n
496
\n00:28:02,080 –> 00:28:03,520
\nYou have the father of the
\nbridegroom. <\/p>\n
497
\n00:28:03,520 –> 00:28:05,680
\nYou have the bridegroom.
\nYou have the marriage hall. <\/p>\n
498
\n00:28:05,680 –> 00:28:08,040
\nYou have the feast prepared.
\nYou have the guests. <\/p>\n
499
\n00:28:09,440 –> 00:28:13,400
\nYou never see the bride.
\nNot in the Gospels. <\/p>\n
500
\n00:28:15,360 –> 00:28:16,120
\nYou have to.
\nKeep on. <\/p>\n
501
\n00:28:16,160 –> 00:28:20,240
\nWaiting while the.
\nBridegroom is lost. <\/p>\n
502
\n00:28:20,240 –> 00:28:27,240
\nTo sight in the.
\nDarkness of his grave then <\/p>\n
503
\n00:28:27,240 –> 00:28:28,880
\nemerges to new.
\nGlory. <\/p>\n
504
\n00:28:28,880 –> 00:28:33,280
\nAnd then we begin to learn,
\nslowly and painfully, but quite.<\/p>\n
505
\n00:28:33,400 –> 00:28:40,840
\nInexorably that at last there
\ncan be a bride and wise. <\/p>\n
506
\n00:28:40,840 –> 00:28:45,200
\nFor whom in symbol the Lord?
\nDied for the church. <\/p>\n
507
\n00:28:45,200 –> 00:28:46,720
\nAnd gave.
\nHimself up for it? <\/p>\n
508
\n00:28:47,480 –> 00:28:50,400
\nThat he might purify to himself
\na holy church. <\/p>\n
509
\n00:28:50,600 –> 00:28:53,320
\nWithout spot or blemish.
\nZealous of good. <\/p>\n
510
\n00:28:53,320 –> 00:28:56,560
\nWorks are privileged at last in
\nEphesians to be brought. <\/p>\n
511
\n00:28:56,560 –> 00:28:58,040
\nBefore the daylight and we are
\nbe. <\/p>\n
512
\n00:28:58,120 –> 00:29:02,440
\nBeing told that that.
\nIs the first explicit statement <\/p>\n
513
\n00:29:02,440 –> 00:29:08,000
\nthat the bride has been found.
\nAnd then, of course, the events <\/p>\n
514
\n00:29:08,000 –> 00:29:12,280
\nMarch on to the expected glory.
\nWhen John is told, come hit her,<\/p>\n
515
\n00:29:13,760 –> 00:29:19,320
\nand I will show thee the bride
\nthe lamb’s wife, and the bride <\/p>\n
516
\n00:29:19,320 –> 00:29:20,360
\nthe.
\nLamb’s wife arranged. <\/p>\n
517
\n00:29:20,360 –> 00:29:22,680
\nIn primed linen.
\nClean and white stands. <\/p>\n
518
\n00:29:22,680 –> 00:29:24,040
\nBy the side of.
\nHer. <\/p>\n
519
\n00:29:24,040 –> 00:29:28,000
\nGloriously tired, resplendent
\nLord basking in the. <\/p>\n
520
\n00:29:28,000 –> 00:29:31,800
\nGlory of his father.
\nAnd only the. <\/p>\n
521
\n00:29:31,800 –> 00:29:35,920
\nEye of Remembrance knows that in
\nthe hands that hang down there <\/p>\n
522
\n00:29:35,920 –> 00:29:40,080
\nare the marks of nails.
\nAnd the feet so splendidly shod <\/p>\n
523
\n00:29:40,080 –> 00:29:40,800
\nthere.
\nAre two more. <\/p>\n
524
\n00:29:40,800 –> 00:29:45,200
\nMarks of two more nails and if
\nit lies in the. <\/p>\n
525
\n00:29:45,200 –> 00:29:46,400
\nPurpose of.
\nGod to let the. <\/p>\n
526
\n00:29:46,400 –> 00:29:49,840
\nScar be assemble.
\nOf his victory, there is <\/p>\n
527
\n00:29:49,840 –> 00:29:55,000
\nsomewhere a place still to be
\nseen, where the spear pierced <\/p>\n
528
\n00:29:55,000 –> 00:30:00,080
\nhis side.
\nAnd all that the Lord Jesus saw <\/p>\n
529
\n00:30:00,080 –> 00:30:00,880
\nwhen.
\nHe said. <\/p>\n
530
\n00:30:01,440 –> 00:30:03,080
\nCan the children of the Bride
\nchamber? <\/p>\n
531
\n00:30:03,080 –> 00:30:06,920
\nFast when the bridegroom.
\nIs with them and under the. <\/p>\n
532
\n00:30:06,920 –> 00:30:10,320
\nShadow of that pending.
\nCross the Lord walked his life, <\/p>\n
533
\n00:30:12,360 –> 00:30:16,480
\nnot just there, alone.
\nEvery time he escaped. <\/p>\n
534
\n00:30:16,480 –> 00:30:17,920
\nFrom death.
\nAnd there were several of them. <\/p>\n
535
\n00:30:19,640 –> 00:30:21,680
\nEvery time they raised up.
\nStones to stone him. <\/p>\n
536
\n00:30:21,880 –> 00:30:24,160
\nAnd either God stead.
\nTheir hands, so they couldn’t <\/p>\n
537
\n00:30:24,160 –> 00:30:27,160
\nrelease the stone or the Lord.
\nDisappeared from their sight and<\/p>\n
538
\n00:30:27,160 –> 00:30:29,760
\nI don’t know which it was.
\nThe Lord. <\/p>\n
539
\n00:30:29,760 –> 00:30:33,880
\nSaw the threat of death,
\nperceived how tenuously his <\/p>\n
540
\n00:30:33,880 –> 00:30:36,880
\nlife.
\nHung upon the staid. <\/p>\n
541
\n00:30:36,880 –> 00:30:39,760
\nAnger of his enemies and.
\nWhen he went out of the it’s <\/p>\n
542
\n00:30:39,760 –> 00:30:42,400
\nthem and walked on the other
\nside of Jordan, or did all the <\/p>\n
543
\n00:30:42,440 –> 00:30:46,240
\nother things that the Lord did
\nto evade the imminent death. <\/p>\n
544
\n00:30:46,840 –> 00:30:48,480
\nWe see not.
\nJust that for that. <\/p>\n
545
\n00:30:48,480 –> 00:30:51,040
\nMoment he escaped, but that his
\neye had not yet come. <\/p>\n
546
\n00:30:53,280 –> 00:30:57,240
\nHe was not shaking death.
\nHe was deferring. <\/p>\n
547
\n00:30:57,240 –> 00:30:58,480
\nThe time of death.
\nTill the time. <\/p>\n
548
\n00:30:58,480 –> 00:31:02,160
\nThat God had appointed.
\nAnd then he would. <\/p>\n
549
\n00:31:02,160 –> 00:31:09,080
\nResignedly die, he goes
\nthroughout his preaching, They <\/p>\n
550

551
\n00:31:10,320 –> 00:31:11,280
\nSon of the.
\nLiving God. <\/p>\n
552
\n00:31:11,440 –> 00:31:13,040
\nAnd what does the Lord say in
\nreply? <\/p>\n
553
\n00:31:14,440 –> 00:31:16,720
\nThe Son of Man.
\nMust go into Jerusalem to be <\/p>\n
554
\n00:31:16,720 –> 00:31:18,480
\nbetrayed into the.
\nHands of citizen be put to <\/p>\n
555
\n00:31:18,480 –> 00:31:22,120
\ndeath.
\nAnd the third day rise again. <\/p>\n
556
\n00:31:23,760 –> 00:31:26,280
\nFrom that day on, began.
\nJesus to tell his disciples how?<\/p>\n
557
\n00:31:26,280 –> 00:31:28,280
\nHe must go to Jerusalem and the
\nsame. <\/p>\n
558
\n00:31:28,280 –> 00:31:29,720
\nRepetition.
\nWe have once more. <\/p>\n
559
\n00:31:32,560 –> 00:31:34,800
\nYou want the chief?
\nPlaces James and John do you in <\/p>\n
560
\n00:31:34,800 –> 00:31:37,880
\nmy Kingdom, are you?
\nAble to be. <\/p>\n
561
\n00:31:37,880 –> 00:31:41,760
\nBaptized with my baptism.
\nTo drink of my cup. <\/p>\n
562
\n00:31:42,680 –> 00:31:48,680
\nTo endure my sufferings.
\nYou say you are, then you shall.<\/p>\n
563
\n00:31:49,960 –> 00:31:52,080
\nBut the best places?
\nIn my Kingdom is not mine to. <\/p>\n
564
\n00:31:52,080 –> 00:31:54,000
\nGive that, my father.
\nWill give to those. <\/p>\n
565
\n00:31:54,120 –> 00:31:56,040
\nFor whom he disappointed.
\nIn the meanwhile. <\/p>\n
566
\n00:31:56,040 –> 00:31:57,400
\nPrepare yourselves for
\nsufferings. <\/p>\n
567
\n00:31:57,400 –> 00:32:01,040
\nLike mine.
\nAnd the Lord. <\/p>\n
568
\n00:32:01,040 –> 00:32:03,400
\nStared his sufferings.
\nPlainly in the place and knew <\/p>\n
569
\n00:32:03,400 –> 00:32:07,440
\nthey were to come and said.
\nTo the disciples. <\/p>\n
570
\n00:32:07,440 –> 00:32:10,360
\nIn return, when they were angry
\nwith James and John. <\/p>\n
571
\n00:32:11,600 –> 00:32:12,920
\nHe That would be.
\nGreatest among you. <\/p>\n
572
\n00:32:12,920 –> 00:32:17,200
\nLet him be your minister even.
\nAs the son of man came, not. <\/p>\n
573
\n00:32:17,200 –> 00:32:19,040
\nTo be ministered until.
\nBut to. <\/p>\n
574
\n00:32:19,040 –> 00:32:22,800
\nMinister and Give.
\nHis life a ransom for many. <\/p>\n
575
\n00:32:27,160 –> 00:32:30,680
\nSomewhere in the personal.
\nDiary of the Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
576
\n00:32:33,000 –> 00:32:37,360
\nIn that non leather.
\nBound and ring united and. <\/p>\n
577
\n00:32:37,920 –> 00:32:39,680
\nCarefully organized set of loose
\nleaf. <\/p>\n
578
\n00:32:39,680 –> 00:32:41,520
\nSheets.
\nWe call an organizer in these <\/p>\n
579
\n00:32:41,520 –> 00:32:45,080
\ndays somewhere.
\nIn the. <\/p>\n
580
\n00:32:45,080 –> 00:32:48,440
\nImmaterial diary that reminded.
\nThe Lord of his appointments. <\/p>\n
581
\n00:32:50,440 –> 00:32:51,880
\nThere was a note against a
\ncertain. <\/p>\n
582
\n00:32:51,880 –> 00:32:56,640
\nDay and night on AD whenever it
\nwas saying go and be crucified. <\/p>\n
583
\n00:33:00,280 –> 00:33:03,440
\nIt was not an appointment he.
\nCouldn’t have broken. <\/p>\n
584
\n00:33:05,760 –> 00:33:06,880
\nIt was an.
\nAppointment he didn’t. <\/p>\n
585
\n00:33:06,880 –> 00:33:11,160
\nChoose to break and.
\nEvery day of his. <\/p>\n
586
\n00:33:11,160 –> 00:33:13,920
\nWaking life he was.
\nMoving his steps nearer. <\/p>\n
587
\n00:33:13,920 –> 00:33:16,200
\nTo the time.
\nBut not before the time. <\/p>\n
588
\n00:33:16,320 –> 00:33:18,120
\nThe time but not.
\nLater than the time. <\/p>\n
589
\n00:33:18,240 –> 00:33:22,160
\nNo anticipation and no.
\nPostponement when he would. <\/p>\n
590
\n00:33:22,160 –> 00:33:27,320
\nCome to the point where he.
\nMust say this is your hour and <\/p>\n
591
\n00:33:27,320 –> 00:33:33,160
\nthe power of darkness.
\nHow grieved he must have been. <\/p>\n
592
\n00:33:34,400 –> 00:33:36,960
\nWhen his efforts to make that
\nplain to his disciples. <\/p>\n
593
\n00:33:37,200 –> 00:33:40,680
\nFounded upon their human
\nincredulity and their desire. <\/p>\n
594
\n00:33:40,680 –> 00:33:45,000
\nFor glory without the shame,
\nwhen he said with desire, I have<\/p>\n
595
\n00:33:45,000 –> 00:33:47,760
\ndesire to eat this Passover with
\nyou before I suffer. <\/p>\n
596
\n00:33:50,080 –> 00:33:53,480
\nThis is my body.
\nWhich is? <\/p>\n
597
\n00:33:53,480 –> 00:33:57,520
\nGiven for sin, this cup is the
\nnew. <\/p>\n
598
\n00:33:57,520 –> 00:34:00,600
\nCovenant in my blood.
\nShed for. <\/p>\n
599
\n00:34:00,600 –> 00:34:06,760
\nMany for the remission of sins.
\nHow heightened his sorrow? <\/p>\n
600
\n00:34:06,760 –> 00:34:11,560
\nMust have been when leaving 8
\ndisciples sleeping in the rear. <\/p>\n
601
\n00:34:11,560 –> 00:34:13,120
\nHe took three.
\nWith him who slept. <\/p>\n
602
\n00:34:13,120 –> 00:34:18,280
\nIn their turn close by his place
\nof agony, and he prayed without <\/p>\n
603
\n00:34:18,280 –> 00:34:21,000
\ntheir noticing it.
\nFather if it be. <\/p>\n
604
\n00:34:21,000 –> 00:34:23,239
\nPossible let this cup pass from
\nme. <\/p>\n
605
\n00:34:23,560 –> 00:34:26,320
\nNevertheless, not my will.
\nBut thine be done. <\/p>\n
606
\n00:34:30,080 –> 00:34:39,760
\nYet he set his face steadfastly
\nto go to Jerusalem, and at last <\/p>\n
607
\n00:34:40,840 –> 00:34:45,800
\nthey tried him, and they
\ncondemned him and they. <\/p>\n
608
\n00:34:45,800 –> 00:34:47,600
\nPassed the verdict of death.
\nUpon him and. <\/p>\n
609
\n00:34:49,440 –> 00:34:53,199
\nThe cross loomed.
\nFor him humanly inescapable. <\/p>\n
610
\n00:34:53,199 –> 00:35:00,840
\nNow he was their prisoner, but
\nhe was their prisoner from <\/p>\n
611
\n00:35:00,840 –> 00:35:04,960
\nchoice.
\nThey could never have. <\/p>\n
612
\n00:35:04,960 –> 00:35:08,040
\nTaken him when he stripped them
\nto the ground in the garden. <\/p>\n
613
\n00:35:10,080 –> 00:35:11,040
\nAnd could have walked over
\ntheir. <\/p>\n
614
\n00:35:11,040 –> 00:35:15,600
\nProstate bodies to freedom?
\nHad he not been willing to rise?<\/p>\n
615
\n00:35:15,600 –> 00:35:20,280
\nAgain and say take me.
\nAnd even then they could take <\/p>\n
616
\n00:35:20,280 –> 00:35:23,480
\nbut Him so great was the Lord’s.
\nPower that though he granted. <\/p>\n
617
\n00:35:23,480 –> 00:35:27,400
\nThem the right to take.
\nHim and his life, he said. <\/p>\n
618
\n00:35:28,120 –> 00:35:30,240
\nBut don’t touch the others.
\nLet them go. <\/p>\n
619
\n00:35:32,360 –> 00:35:35,000
\nAnd that rattle armed.
\nWith swords and stay stood to <\/p>\n
620
\n00:35:35,000 –> 00:35:37,400
\nattention and.
\nObedience as 11 disciples. <\/p>\n
621
\n00:35:37,400 –> 00:35:38,960
\nFiled out of that company
\nUtterly. <\/p>\n
622
\n00:35:38,960 –> 00:35:44,360
\nUnharmed as the power of the
\nLord rescued them, but himself <\/p>\n
623
\n00:35:44,360 –> 00:35:48,160
\nhe would not rescue.
\nThey could get up. <\/p>\n
624
\n00:35:48,160 –> 00:35:54,760
\nNow and take him away, and he
\nwould not say them nay before <\/p>\n
625
\n00:35:54,760 –> 00:35:56,320
\nhigh.
\nPriest and before power he would<\/p>\n
626
\n00:35:56,320 –> 00:35:57,520
\nspeak.
\nThe words that condemned. <\/p>\n
627
\n00:35:57,520 –> 00:36:00,480
\nHim.
\nWas all around. <\/p>\n
628
\n00:36:00,480 –> 00:36:03,600
\nMockers and rulers an.
\nImpenitent, Thief said. <\/p>\n
629
\n00:36:03,680 –> 00:36:05,720
\nCome down from the.
\nCross if you’re Christ. <\/p>\n
630
\n00:36:07,160 –> 00:36:11,920
\nAnd as I think he knew.
\nThat power within him, he stayed<\/p>\n
631
\n00:36:11,920 –> 00:36:15,760
\nwhere he was.
\nAnd willingly died. <\/p>\n
632
\n00:36:15,760 –> 00:36:18,080
\nFor our sins and.
\nGave up the spirit. <\/p>\n
633
\n00:36:19,640 –> 00:36:26,440
\nAccording to the scriptures what
\nJohn said to them. <\/p>\n
634
\n00:36:28,280 –> 00:36:30,640
\nWe must now say to.
\nEach other and. <\/p>\n
635
\n00:36:30,640 –> 00:36:34,040
\nTry to apprehend.
\nIts poignancy and its pain and <\/p>\n
636
\n00:36:34,040 –> 00:36:36,960
\nits.
\nLove and hear the words. <\/p>\n
637
\n00:36:38,080 –> 00:36:45,840
\nBehold the Lamb of God that
\ntaketh away the sin of the. <\/p>\n
638
\n00:36:45,840 –> 00:36:51,240
\nWorld.
\nBut to end on a note of. <\/p>\n
639
\n00:36:51,240 –> 00:36:54,840
\nOur triumph?
\nIt was the. <\/p>\n
640
\n00:36:54,840 –> 00:37:00,360
\nLamb of God, as it had.
\nBeen slain that. <\/p>\n
641
\n00:37:00,360 –> 00:37:02,240
\nCame out of the.
\nMultitudes of people who could <\/p>\n
642
\n00:37:02,240 –> 00:37:05,760
\nnot help.
\nOf angels. <\/p>\n
643
\n00:37:05,760 –> 00:37:08,200
\nWith authorities and powers.
\nAnd governors, and living and <\/p>\n
644
\n00:37:08,200 –> 00:37:11,400
\ndead and presented.
\nHimself to the Father. <\/p>\n
645
\n00:37:11,400 –> 00:37:14,840
\nBefore the majesty of heaven
\nand. <\/p>\n

\nWilling. <\/p>\n

\ncontained the future and sat <\/p>\n
648
\n00:37:21,600 –> 00:37:29,800
\ndown and opened it.
\nAnd said to you and me to him <\/p>\n
