\nWelcome to good Christophian
\ntalks. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:05,920 –> 00:00:07,120
\nThank you for.
\nJoining us this week. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:07,720 –> 00:00:11,040
\nOn this podcast, we select one
\ntalk a week to help us get the <\/p>\n
\n00:00:11,040 –> 00:00:16,000
\nBible in our Daily News feed.
\nEach week we post a talk that we<\/p>\n
\n00:00:16,000 –> 00:00:19,000
\npreviewed from suggestions sent
\nin by listeners from around the <\/p>\n
\n00:00:19,000 –> 00:00:21,560
\nworld.
\nThen we record a short intro <\/p>\n
\n00:00:21,560 –> 00:00:25,040
\nbeforehand as a personalized
\nrecommendation to you on why we <\/p>\n
\n00:00:25,040 –> 00:00:28,000
\nare sharing the talk.
\nAnd now let’s talk more about <\/p>\n
\n00:00:28,000 –> 00:00:34,320
\nthis week’s talk.
\nHello everyone, this is brother <\/p>\n
\n00:00:34,320 –> 00:00:37,360
\nSimon.
\nThis week’s talk is a short ex <\/p>\n
\n00:00:37,360 –> 00:00:42,280
\nor done by a brother Kim Carroll
\nat the Semi Hills Ecclesia to <\/p>\n
\n00:00:42,280 –> 00:00:46,520
\nthe title Adoption.
\nHe starts off with a touching <\/p>\n
\n00:00:46,520 –> 00:00:50,280
\nand personal story about how he
\nwas adopted at only a few days <\/p>\n
\n00:00:50,280 –> 00:00:53,120
\nold, which I found to be a quite
\na moving story. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:54,120 –> 00:00:56,280
\nThen he goes through some
\nexamples of adoption in the <\/p>\n
\n00:00:56,280 –> 00:01:00,680
\nBible and guess the point how we
\nall have the opportunity to be <\/p>\n
\n00:01:00,840 –> 00:01:05,360
\nadopted into God’s great family
\nand heirs to the promises and <\/p>\n
\n00:01:05,360 –> 00:01:07,920
\nthrough faith we are sons and
\ndaughters of God. <\/p>\n
\n00:01:09,160 –> 00:01:11,560
\nSo here is Brother Kim Carroll
\non adoption. <\/p>\n
\n00:01:12,880 –> 00:01:17,880
\nGood morning.
\nAfter my mother passed away many<\/p>\n
\n00:01:17,880 –> 00:01:23,960
\nyears ago, I took many of the
\nfiles that she had at home with <\/p>\n
\n00:01:24,280 –> 00:01:28,880
\nback home with me and I didn’t
\nlook at them for several years. <\/p>\n
\n00:01:30,360 –> 00:01:33,640
\nEventually I looked through them
\nand found some things that I <\/p>\n
\n00:01:33,640 –> 00:01:37,600
\nwould be willing to bet that no
\none else in this room has. <\/p>\n
\n00:01:39,960 –> 00:01:45,600
\nThat was the application my
\nparents filled out so that they <\/p>\n
\n00:01:45,600 –> 00:01:51,680
\ncould adopt me showed a lot of
\ninformation about them. <\/p>\n
\n00:01:53,360 –> 00:01:59,120
\nMy father was an insurance agent
\nmaking $5000 a year. <\/p>\n
\n00:02:01,400 –> 00:02:03,760
\nThey had $300 in their bank
\naccount. <\/p>\n
\n00:02:05,360 –> 00:02:10,680
\nThey were paying $59 a month for
\nrent for their apartment. <\/p>\n
\n00:02:13,560 –> 00:02:17,360
\nGives a time capsule of the
\nhistory of my family at that <\/p>\n
\n00:02:17,360 –> 00:02:23,880
\ntime, names of their parents and
\ngrandparents, the state of their<\/p>\n
\n00:02:23,880 –> 00:02:30,040
\nhealth or why they died.
\nA pretty thorough examination of<\/p>\n
\n00:02:30,040 –> 00:02:36,160
\nmy folks background.
\nThey started this process more <\/p>\n
\n00:02:36,160 –> 00:02:41,280
\nthan a year before I was born
\nand they signed a contract at <\/p>\n
\n00:02:41,280 –> 00:02:47,360
\nthe end of the process.
\nAdoption, according to the <\/p>\n
\n00:02:47,360 –> 00:02:52,240
\ndictionary, is to take and raise
\nthe child of others as one’s <\/p>\n
\n00:02:52,240 –> 00:02:58,040
\nown.
\nI was adopted when I was only a <\/p>\n
\n00:02:58,040 –> 00:03:02,240
\nfew days old.
\nMany years ago. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:02,240 –> 00:03:05,880
\nIt was not usual to tell a child
\nthat they’d been adopted. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:08,120 –> 00:03:12,760
\nMy parents did tell me, however,
\nbeginning when I was very <\/p>\n
\n00:03:12,760 –> 00:03:15,880
\nlittle.
\nThey told me a story. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:19,360 –> 00:03:22,880
\nIt goes Once Upon a time there
\nwas a farmer and his wife. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:23,960 –> 00:03:28,000
\nThey planted seed in the ground,
\nbut then they went away. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:29,600 –> 00:03:33,440
\nAnother farmer and his wife came
\nalong and watched the seed. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:34,240 –> 00:03:36,600
\nThey tended it and took care of
\nit. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:37,920 –> 00:03:42,280
\nEventually that seed grew into a
\nbeautiful flower. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:44,120 –> 00:03:46,480
\nAnd that beautiful flower is
\nyou. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:51,560 –> 00:03:55,520
\nYou all may have some difficulty
\nin picturing me is a beautiful <\/p>\n
\n00:03:55,520 –> 00:04:02,480
\nflower, but I tell you the
\nresemblance was much stronger <\/p>\n
\n00:04:02,480 –> 00:04:04,600
\nwhen I was only three or four
\nyears old. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:07,520 –> 00:04:11,320
\nI was also proud.
\nI also proudly told anyone who <\/p>\n
\n00:04:11,320 –> 00:04:17,040
\nwould listen that I was adopted.
\nNow. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:17,040 –> 00:04:20,640
\nAfter I began reading the word,
\nI noticed a story that sounded <\/p>\n
\n00:04:20,640 –> 00:04:25,280
\nfamiliar in a way.
\nThe parable is sword that was <\/p>\n
\n00:04:25,280 –> 00:04:30,160
\nread this morning in Mark 4\/3
\nthrough 20. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:31,560 –> 00:04:35,920
\nThe seed that falls on the good
\nsoil still must be cared for. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:38,680 –> 00:04:41,680
\nThe one who tends the garden
\nspreads the word. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:46,120 –> 00:04:51,000
\nThere are some stories about
\nadoption in the Bible, but that <\/p>\n
\n00:04:51,000 –> 00:04:54,200
\nword never appears in the Old
\nTestament. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:58,200 –> 00:05:01,480
\nExodus chapter 2 tells the story
\nof Moses. <\/p>\n
\n00:05:03,600 –> 00:05:07,440
\nPharaoh has ordered that every
\nboy born to the Hebrews must be <\/p>\n
\n00:05:07,440 –> 00:05:12,600
\nkilled.
\nA Levite woman devises A scheme <\/p>\n
\n00:05:12,600 –> 00:05:17,800
\nto save her newborn son.
\nShe puts him in a basket and <\/p>\n
\n00:05:17,800 –> 00:05:24,400
\nsets him afloat in the Nile.
\nLet’s look at Exodus chapter 2, <\/p>\n
\n00:05:24,400 –> 00:05:32,080
\nstarting at verse one.
\nNow a man from the House of Levi<\/p>\n
\n00:05:32,080 –> 00:05:36,000
\nwent and took his wife as his
\nwife, a Levite woman. <\/p>\n
\n00:05:37,160 –> 00:05:40,800
\nThe woman conceived and bore a
\nson, and when she saw that he <\/p>\n
\n00:05:40,800 –> 00:05:44,600
\nwas a fine child, she hit him
\nthree months. <\/p>\n
\n00:05:46,000 –> 00:05:49,600
\nWhen she could hide him no
\nlonger, she took for him, took <\/p>\n
\n00:05:49,600 –> 00:05:54,000
\nfor him a basket made of
\nbulrushes and daubed it with <\/p>\n
\n00:05:54,000 –> 00:05:57,720
\nbitumen and pitch.
\nShe put the child in it and <\/p>\n
\n00:05:57,720 –> 00:06:02,400
\nplaced it among the reeds in the
\nriverbank, and his sister stood <\/p>\n
\n00:06:02,400 –> 00:06:05,400
\nat a distance to know what would
\nbe done to him. <\/p>\n
\n00:06:06,920 –> 00:06:11,280
\nNow the daughter of Pharaoh came
\ndown to bathe at the river while<\/p>\n
\n00:06:11,280 –> 00:06:13,640
\nher young women walked beside
\nthe river. <\/p>\n
\n00:06:14,680 –> 00:06:18,640
\nShe saw the basket among the
\nreeds and sent her servant woman<\/p>\n
\n00:06:19,080 –> 00:06:23,720
\nand she took it.
\nWhen she opened it, she saw the <\/p>\n
\n00:06:23,720 –> 00:06:26,920
\nchild and behold, the baby was
\ncrying. <\/p>\n
\n00:06:28,120 –> 00:06:31,280
\nShe took pity on him and said,
\nThis is one of the Hebrews <\/p>\n
\n00:06:31,280 –> 00:06:34,280
\nchildren.
\nThen his sister said to <\/p>\n
\n00:06:34,280 –> 00:06:37,920
\nPharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go
\nand call you a nurse from the <\/p>\n
\n00:06:37,920 –> 00:06:40,400
\nHebrew women to nurse the child
\nfor you? <\/p>\n
\n00:06:42,680 –> 00:06:44,840
\nAnd Pharaoh’s daughter said to
\nher, Go. <\/p>\n
\n00:06:46,080 –> 00:06:48,840
\nSo the girl went and called the
\nchild’s mother. <\/p>\n
\n00:06:49,960 –> 00:06:53,040
\nAnd Pharaoh’s daughter said to
\nher, Take this child away and <\/p>\n
\n00:06:53,040 –> 00:06:56,360
\nnurse him for me, and I will
\ngive you your wages. <\/p>\n
\n00:06:57,600 –> 00:06:59,960
\nSo the woman took the child and
\nnursed him. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:00,680 –> 00:07:04,120
\nWhen the child grew older, she
\nbrought him to Pharaoh’s <\/p>\n
\n00:07:04,920 –> 00:07:13,160
\ndaughter and he became her son.
\nShe named him Moses because she <\/p>\n
\n00:07:13,160 –> 00:07:15,320
\nsaid, I drew him out of the
\nwater. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:19,200 –> 00:07:23,760
\nMoses survives and prospers and
\nbecomes the deliverer of his <\/p>\n
\n00:07:23,760 –> 00:07:27,440
\npeople.
\nNone of this would have been <\/p>\n
\n00:07:27,440 –> 00:07:31,640
\npossible if God had not allowed
\nhim to be adopted by Pharaoh’s <\/p>\n
\n00:07:31,640 –> 00:07:39,360
\ndaughter.
\nElijah also adopted children. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:41,120 –> 00:07:45,160
\nTwo different instances are
\nrelated in Second Kings chapter <\/p>\n
\n00:07:45,160 –> 00:07:49,880
\n4 about Elijah helping to
\nprotect children. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:51,760 –> 00:07:54,920
\nIn the beginning of the chapter,
\nwe learn about a widow with two <\/p>\n
\n00:07:54,920 –> 00:07:59,840
\nsons who are about to be taken
\nas slaves to pay the widow’s <\/p>\n
\n00:07:59,840 –> 00:08:04,520
\ncreditor.
\nElisha helps her with a miracle <\/p>\n
\n00:08:04,520 –> 00:08:11,120
\nand saves the sons from slavery.
\nElisha, in effect, adopted these<\/p>\n
\n00:08:11,120 –> 00:08:14,520
\nsons of the widow and helped to
\ncare for them. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:17,040 –> 00:08:22,360
\nIn the second instance, the
\nShunamite woman Elijah. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:22,800 –> 00:08:27,160
\nElijah asks God to reward her
\nfaithfulness with a son. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:29,120 –> 00:08:32,480
\nThe son is born but soon falls
\nill and dies. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:35,120 –> 00:08:40,120
\nElijah sends his servant Gehazi
\nto the boy, but he’s unable to <\/p>\n
\n00:08:40,120 –> 00:08:44,640
\nraise him.
\nThen Elijah comes to the house <\/p>\n
\n00:08:46,120 –> 00:08:49,560
\nin Second Kings 4, starting at
\nverse 32. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:51,800 –> 00:08:56,120
\nWhen Elijah came into the house,
\nhe saw the child lying dead on <\/p>\n
\n00:08:56,120 –> 00:08:59,600
\nhis bed.
\nSo he went in and shut the door <\/p>\n
\n00:08:59,600 –> 00:09:02,320
\nbehind the two of them and
\nprayed to the Lord. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:03,760 –> 00:09:07,320
\nThen he went up and lay on the
\nchild, putting his mouth on his <\/p>\n
\n00:09:07,320 –> 00:09:11,480
\nmouth, his eyes on his eyes, and
\nhis hands on his hands. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:12,320 –> 00:09:17,200
\nAnd as he stretched himself upon
\nhim, the flesh of the child <\/p>\n
\n00:09:17,200 –> 00:09:20,840
\nbecame warm.
\nThen he got up again and walked <\/p>\n
\n00:09:20,840 –> 00:09:25,320
\nonce back and forth in the house
\nand went up and stretch himself <\/p>\n
\n00:09:25,320 –> 00:09:29,520
\nupon him.
\nThe child sneezed 7 times and <\/p>\n
\n00:09:29,520 –> 00:09:32,440
\nthe child opens his opened his
\neyes. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:33,560 –> 00:09:37,480
\nThen he summoned Gehazi and said
\ncall this Shunamite. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:39,280 –> 00:09:43,160
\nSo he called her and when he she
\ncame to him, he said, pick up <\/p>\n
\n00:09:43,160 –> 00:09:47,640
\nyour son.
\nShe came and fell at his feet, <\/p>\n
\n00:09:47,680 –> 00:09:52,400
\nbowing to the ground.
\nThen she picked up her son and <\/p>\n
\n00:09:52,400 –> 00:09:58,560
\nwent out.
\nElijah cared for these children <\/p>\n
\n00:09:58,560 –> 00:10:06,680
\nas if they were his own.
\nNow we come to the most famous <\/p>\n
\n00:10:06,680 –> 00:10:15,040
\nadopted child in all history.
\nOur Lord and Savior Jesus was <\/p>\n
\n00:10:15,040 –> 00:10:19,960
\nadopted.
\nHe was born of Mary in the Holy <\/p>\n
\n00:10:19,960 –> 00:10:24,960
\nSpirit.
\nBut Joseph is his father that <\/p>\n
\n00:10:24,960 –> 00:10:31,120
\nadopts him, cares for him, flees
\nto Egypt to protect him. <\/p>\n
\n00:10:34,520 –> 00:10:39,360
\nIn Matthew 2, starting at verse
\n13, it says Now when they had <\/p>\n
\n00:10:39,360 –> 00:10:43,320
\ndeparted, behold, an Angel of
\nthe Lord appeared to Joseph in a<\/p>\n
\n00:10:43,320 –> 00:10:49,160
\ndream and said, rise, take the
\nchild and his mother and flee to<\/p>\n
\n00:10:49,160 –> 00:10:51,800
\nEgypt, and remain there until I
\ntell you. <\/p>\n
\n00:10:53,280 –> 00:10:57,200
\nFor Herod is about to search for
\nthe child to destroy him. <\/p>\n
\n00:10:59,120 –> 00:11:02,360
\nAnd he rose and took the child
\nand his mother by night and <\/p>\n
\n00:11:02,360 –> 00:11:07,600
\ndeparted to Egypt, and remained
\nthere until the death of Herod. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:09,800 –> 00:11:14,080
\nThis was to fill what the
\nfulfill what the Lord had spoken<\/p>\n
\n00:11:14,080 –> 00:11:22,680
\nby the prophet out of Egypt.
\nI will call my son later. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:22,680 –> 00:11:26,600
\nJoseph takes him to Jerusalem to
\npresent him at the temple. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:31,200 –> 00:11:34,840
\nIn Luke chapter 2, starting at
\nverse 22 it says. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:35,360 –> 00:11:38,960
\nAnd when the time came for their
\npurification, according to the <\/p>\n
\n00:11:38,960 –> 00:11:43,720
\nlaw of Moses, they brought him
\nup to Jerusalem to present him <\/p>\n
\n00:11:43,720 –> 00:11:48,200
\nto the Lord.
\nAs it is written in the law of <\/p>\n
\n00:11:48,200 –> 00:11:52,240
\nthe Lord, every male who first
\nopens the womb shall be called <\/p>\n
\n00:11:52,240 –> 00:11:57,920
\nholy to the Lord, and to offer a
\nsacrifice according to what it <\/p>\n
\n00:11:58,160 –> 00:12:04,320
\nis said in the law of the Lord.
\nA pair of turtle doves or two <\/p>\n
\n00:12:04,320 –> 00:12:10,040
\nyoung pigeons.
\nEach year he and Mary take him <\/p>\n
\n00:12:10,040 –> 00:12:16,040
\nto the temple for the Passover
\nand help him to grow in wisdom <\/p>\n
\n00:12:16,160 –> 00:12:24,000
\nand stature.
\nNow there’s another definition <\/p>\n
\n00:12:24,000 –> 00:12:29,560
\nof adoption, and that is to take
\nor receive a new kind of <\/p>\n
\n00:12:29,560 –> 00:12:35,760
\nrelationship and to take on or
\nact in accordance with an <\/p>\n
\n00:12:35,760 –> 00:12:44,360
\nattitude.
\nLet’s think about us. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:45,560 –> 00:12:48,880
\nTurn to Romans 4, starting at
\nverse 16. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:53,520 –> 00:12:59,000
\nThat is why it depends on faith
\nin order that the promise may <\/p>\n
\n00:12:59,040 –> 00:13:06,760
\nrest on grace and be guaranteed
\nto all his offspring, not only <\/p>\n
\n00:13:06,760 –> 00:13:12,760
\nto the adherent of the law, but
\nalso to the One who shares the <\/p>\n
\n00:13:12,760 –> 00:13:18,080
\nfaith of Abraham, who is the
\nfather of us all. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:19,760 –> 00:13:24,160
\nAs it is written, I have made
\nyou the father of many nations <\/p>\n
\n00:13:25,600 –> 00:13:30,240
\nin the presence of the God in
\nwhom he believed, who gives life<\/p>\n
\n00:13:30,240 –> 00:13:34,880
\nto the dead and calls into
\nexistence the things that do not<\/p>\n
\n00:13:34,880 –> 00:13:41,960
\nexist in hope.
\nHe believed against hope that he<\/p>\n
\n00:13:41,960 –> 00:13:47,760
\nshould become the father of many
\nnations, as he had been told. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:48,400 –> 00:13:58,440
\nSo shall your offspring be all
\nof us have the opportunity to be<\/p>\n
\n00:13:58,440 –> 00:14:04,320
\nadopted in the God’s family.
\nWe should remember to thank God <\/p>\n
\n00:14:04,320 –> 00:14:10,360
\ncontinually that we’ve been
\nshown the way to be adopted into<\/p>\n
\n00:14:10,360 –> 00:14:15,480
\nhis family so we may be heirs to
\nthe promise. <\/p>\n
\n00:14:19,600 –> 00:14:25,200
\nIn Galatians 3, starting at
\nverse 26, it says, For in Christ<\/p>\n
\n00:14:25,200 –> 00:14:30,720
\nJesus you are all sons of God
\nthrough faith. <\/p>\n
\n00:14:33,520 –> 00:14:38,680
\nFor as many of you as were
\nbaptized into Christ have put on<\/p>\n
\n00:14:38,680 –> 00:14:43,200
\nChrist.
\nThere is neither Jew nor Greek, <\/p>\n
\n00:14:43,800 –> 00:14:50,840
\nthere is neither slave nor free.
\nThere is no male or female, for <\/p>\n
\n00:14:50,840 –> 00:14:59,920
\nyou are all one in Christ Jesus,
\nand if you are Christ then you <\/p>\n
\n00:14:59,920 –> 00:15:05,080
\nare Abraham’s offspring, heirs
\naccording to the promise. <\/p>\n
\n00:15:08,960 –> 00:15:12,960
\nI mean that the heir, as long as
\nhe is a child, is no different <\/p>\n
\n00:15:12,960 –> 00:15:19,240
\nfrom a slave, though he is the
\nowner of everything, but he is <\/p>\n
\n00:15:19,440 –> 00:15:24,080
\nunder guardians and managers
\nuntil the date set by his <\/p>\n
\n00:15:24,080 –> 00:15:29,480
\nfather.
\nIn the same way, we also, when <\/p>\n
\n00:15:29,480 –> 00:15:34,600
\nwe were children, were enslaved
\nto the elementary principles of <\/p>\n
\n00:15:34,600 –> 00:15:39,320
\nthe world.
\nBut when the fullness of time <\/p>\n
\n00:15:39,320 –> 00:15:45,080
\nhad come, God sent forth His
\nSon, born of woman, born under <\/p>\n
\n00:15:45,080 –> 00:15:51,520
\nthe law, to redeem those who
\nwere under the law, so that we <\/p>\n
\n00:15:51,520 –> 00:15:59,920
\nmight receive adoption as sons.
\nAnd because you are sons, God <\/p>\n
\n00:15:59,920 –> 00:16:05,320
\nhas sent the Spirit of his Son
\ninto our hearts crying, ABBA <\/p>\n
\n00:16:05,320 –> 00:16:15,560
\nFather, so you are no longer a
\nslave but a son, and if a son <\/p>\n
\n00:16:15,680 –> 00:16:25,240
\nthen an heir through God.
\nNow our method of adoption is <\/p>\n
\n00:16:25,240 –> 00:16:31,320
\nrevealed in Acts chapter 2
\nstarting at verse 37. <\/p>\n
\n00:16:34,160 –> 00:16:38,200
\nNow when they heard this, they
\nwere cut to the heart and said <\/p>\n
\n00:16:38,200 –> 00:16:41,400
\nto Peter and the rest of the
\napostles Brothers, shall what <\/p>\n
\n00:16:41,400 –> 00:16:46,080
\nshall we do?
\nAnd Peter said to them, Repent <\/p>\n
\n00:16:46,920 –> 00:16:53,240
\nand be baptized everyone of you
\nin the name of Jesus Christ for <\/p>\n
\n00:16:53,240 –> 00:16:58,640
\nthe forgiveness of your sins,
\nand you will receive the gift of<\/p>\n
\n00:16:58,640 –> 00:17:05,680
\nthe Holy Spirit.
\nFor the promise is for you and <\/p>\n
\n00:17:05,680 –> 00:17:11,839
\nfor your children, and for all
\nwho are far off, everyone whom <\/p>\n
\n00:17:11,839 –> 00:17:14,720
\nthe Lord our God calls to
\nHimself. <\/p>\n
\n00:17:16,880 –> 00:17:20,800
\nAnd with many other words he
\nbore witness and continued to <\/p>\n
\n00:17:20,800 –> 00:17:24,880
\nexhort them, saying, Save
\nyourselves from this crooked <\/p>\n
\n00:17:24,880 –> 00:17:31,000
\ngeneration.
\nSo those who received His word <\/p>\n
\n00:17:31,000 –> 00:17:37,000
\nwere baptized, and they were
\nadded that day about 3000 souls.<\/p>\n
\n00:17:43,160 –> 00:17:47,560
\nSo now we’re going to turn to
\nthe memorial table to remember <\/p>\n
\n00:17:47,560 –> 00:17:57,280
\nthe sacrifice that that adopted
\nson made for us, our brother, <\/p>\n
\n00:17:57,480 –> 00:18:03,920
\nour Savior.
\nAnd I congratulate you, who have<\/p>\n
\n00:18:03,920 –> 00:18:11,960
\nbeen baptized, on being able to
\njoin me in proudly saying I am a<\/p>\n
\n00:18:11,960 –> 00:18:28,120
\ndoctor.
