\n00:00:13,800 –> 00:00:15,500
\nWelcome to good for selfie and
\ntalks. <\/p>\n

2
\n00:00:15,500 –> 00:00:19,200
\nI’m Levi and I’m Chris and I’m
\nBrian, thank you for joining us <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:19,200 –> 00:00:21,900
\nthis week.
\nOn this podcast, we select one <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:21,900 –> 00:00:26,300
\ntaco week to help us get the
\nBible in our daily news feed. <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:26,500 –> 00:00:29,200
\nWe post a new episode of the
\nstart of each week with a short <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:29,200 –> 00:00:31,300
\nintro.
\nHand to kind of set the stage <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:31,300 –> 00:00:33,500
\nfor the talk.
\nYou’re about to listen to and <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:33,500 –> 00:00:36,300
\nnow let’s talk more about this
\nweek’s talk. <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:49,500 –> 00:00:53,000
\nThis was talk is title
\nfellowship and friendship by <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:53,000 –> 00:00:58,500
\nbrother Dennis, Dennis galette.
\nI really, really loved this <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:58,500 –> 00:01:00,900
\ntalk.
\nI thought it was absolutely an <\/p>\n

12
\n00:01:00,900 –> 00:01:06,900
\nexcellent study on the ideas of
\nfriendship and fellowship at <\/p>\n

13
\n00:01:06,900 –> 00:01:10,200
\nmore friendship.
\nHe spends about the first half <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:10,200 –> 00:01:14,100
\nor so really diving into verses
\nthat relate to Friendship, some <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:14,100 –> 00:01:17,200
\nof the root words there and
\nyou’ll hear right at the start, <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:17,200 –> 00:01:21,200
\nhe starts with the argument that
\nShip is the highest form of <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:21,200 –> 00:01:24,900
\nfellowship and goes on to kind
\nof defend that case. <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:24,900 –> 00:01:29,900
\nAnd then it really spins on its
\nhead when he says that we know <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:30,100 –> 00:01:33,700
\nfrom multiple scriptures that we
\nare commanded to be friends in a<\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:33,700 –> 00:01:36,300
\nway with the Lord Jesus.
\nAnd what does that challenge <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:36,300 –> 00:01:40,300
\nactually?
\nMean, I just loved his just the <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:40,308 –> 00:01:45,200
\nwords that he uses his masterful
\nphrases so many one-liners, <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:45,200 –> 00:01:49,500
\nreally, to me that came out of
\nthis talk, I’m going to be Re <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:49,500 –> 00:01:52,900
\nlistening.
\nAnd this was a an interesting <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:53,400 –> 00:01:57,600
\nfind for us.
\nThe, this is a series of 3. <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:57,600 –> 00:01:59,900
\nThis is the third one.
\nAlthough there’s no real <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:59,900 –> 00:02:03,500
\nrelation that I can tell between
\nthe first two, which are related<\/p>\n

28
\n00:02:03,700 –> 00:02:05,700
\nand this third class, which
\nreally stands alone. <\/p>\n

29
\n00:02:07,100 –> 00:02:09,600
\nAnd these were uploaded to
\nCrystal. <\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:09,600 –> 00:02:13,700
\nKing Bible talks just a couple
\nmonths ago and I listen to them <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:13,700 –> 00:02:18,000
\nand emailed the brother who runs
\nthe website and said, can you <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:18,000 –> 00:02:20,000
\ntell me who uploaded these?
\nBecause I want some more <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:20,000 –> 00:02:21,600
\ninformation on where they’re
\nfrom. <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:21,600 –> 00:02:25,000
\nWhen was this recorded?
\nYou know, we know brother, <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:25,000 –> 00:02:28,300
\nDennis from his writings and
\nhe’s been on this show before <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:28,300 –> 00:02:32,300
\nepisode 136.
\nBut you know when when and where<\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:32,300 –> 00:02:35,300
\nwas this given because I like to
\npost that information and the <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:35,300 –> 00:02:39,800
\nbrother responded to me with a
\nfun story, he the short answer <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:39,800 –> 00:02:42,700
\nis he didn’t actually have any
\ninformation on when and where it<\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:42,700 –> 00:02:46,200
\nwas presented, but this is a
\nseries of tapes that he had come<\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:46,200 –> 00:02:51,100
\ninto owning 30 years ago.
\nAnd had been looking for them <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:51,100 –> 00:02:55,400
\nmore recently, online was able
\nto finally find his own set <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:55,400 –> 00:02:59,700
\nagain, he’d found two and then
\nhe knew that he’d landed lent <\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:59,700 –> 00:03:01,700
\none out and that was returned to
\nhim. <\/p>\n

45
\n00:03:01,700 –> 00:03:05,600
\nAnd so he went through the
\neffort of uploading these tapes <\/p>\n

46
\n00:03:05,600 –> 00:03:08,800
\nbecause he’s very, he thinks,
\nit’s such a great series and I <\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:08,800 –> 00:03:10,200
\ntotally agree.
\nI’m excited to share. <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:10,200 –> 00:03:13,200
\nSo thank you to the two, that
\nbrother for the work that he did<\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:13,200 –> 00:03:16,000
\nand getting these talks on the
\ninternet for us and I can only <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:16,000 –> 00:03:19,600
\nguess the talk is from the 70s.
\nI mean, maybe this CS. <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:19,600 –> 00:03:24,600
\nBut likely sometime in the 70s,
\nthe quality of the recording is <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:25,000 –> 00:03:28,100
\npretty bad and you’ll hear the
\ntape flips, the tape of the tape<\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:28,100 –> 00:03:31,200
\nsides flip.
\nSo there’s three, three or four.<\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:31,200 –> 00:03:33,800
\nPaws has through the talk and
\nthat’s where the tape is <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:33,800 –> 00:03:36,200
\nflipping.
\nAnd I’m happy now to share it in<\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:36,200 –> 00:03:40,400
\nthe podcast.
\nThis is a great one, friendship <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:40,400 –> 00:03:42,500
\nand fellowship by brother,
\nDennis Colette. <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:43,400 –> 00:03:45,800
\nAnother president, I’m better
\nthan sisters. <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:46,500 –> 00:03:51,400
\nAnd as I beginning to this
\nevenings, Adoration, I would <\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:51,400 –> 00:03:55,500
\nlike to make to this meeting a
\nproposition. <\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:58,100 –> 00:04:02,100
\nI know, of course that it won’t
\nbe seconded. <\/p>\n

62
\n00:04:03,400 –> 00:04:06,500
\nAnd I know that we shouldn’t be
\nasking you to vote upon it. <\/p>\n

63
\n00:04:06,700 –> 00:04:12,400
\nI understand that, but
\nnevertheless, I would still like<\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:12,400 –> 00:04:18,700
\nto make the proposition for this
\nmeeting for your consideration. <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:20,399 –> 00:04:25,800
\nAnd the proposition is this.
\nThat the highest form of <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:26,400 –> 00:04:33,700
\nFellowship is friendship.
\nShall I say it again? <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:34,800 –> 00:04:39,100
\nThe highest form of Fellowship
\nis friendship. <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:42,400 –> 00:04:44,400
\nThey’re quite properly.
\nI know what you are doing. <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:44,400 –> 00:04:48,300
\nAs you usually do, when you have
\nto face propositions, you are <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:48,800 –> 00:04:51,700
\npondering it, you are beginning
\nto look at it and thinking. <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:51,700 –> 00:04:54,600
\nWell now let’s see where the
\nfaults lie. <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:56,000 –> 00:04:59,400
\nLet’s be critical about it.
\nBuddy properly, that’s what you <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:59,400 –> 00:05:04,500
\nought to be critical of the
\nproposition. and you are <\/p>\n

74
\n00:05:04,500 –> 00:05:10,800
\nthinking, ah, Now, there are
\nplenty of people in the world in<\/p>\n

75
\n00:05:10,800 –> 00:05:16,700
\nour community associated in the
\nvery realist, and most genuine <\/p>\n

76
\n00:05:16,700 –> 00:05:19,600
\nway in True Fellowship.
\nWho’ve never had the opportunity<\/p>\n

77
\n00:05:19,600 –> 00:05:22,700
\nto meet, who are therefore
\nunknown to each other and who <\/p>\n

78
\n00:05:22,700 –> 00:05:25,500
\ntherefore cannot experience
\nfriendship but they are in the <\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:25,508 –> 00:05:30,000
\nvery closest Fellowship
\nPerfectly true. <\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:31,300 –> 00:05:36,400
\nI accept your criticism but
\nnotice this when the proposition<\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:36,400 –> 00:05:39,200
\nsays that friendship is the
\nhighest form of Fellowship, it <\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:39,200 –> 00:05:44,200
\ndoes not in any way, cast any
\ndoubt at all, upon the value and<\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:44,200 –> 00:05:47,700
\nthe reality of that Fellowship
\nwhich does not on the Practical <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:47,700 –> 00:05:53,400
\nlevel Embrace friendship.
\nIt’s claiming that where <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:53,400 –> 00:05:57,200
\nFellowship does embrace
\nfriendship, then the fellowship <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:57,200 –> 00:06:01,200
\nis enhanced.
\nOn the other hand, you may be <\/p>\n

87
\n00:06:01,200 –> 00:06:04,300
\nthinking that there are plenty
\nof people who have the most <\/p>\n

88
\n00:06:04,300 –> 00:06:08,500
\nsincere form of friendship and
\nyet really, they are not in <\/p>\n

89
\n00:06:08,500 –> 00:06:11,600
\nFellowship, that’s true as well.
\nOf course, it is. <\/p>\n

90
\n00:06:11,800 –> 00:06:15,700
\nI accept that.
\nWhat can I say? <\/p>\n

91
\n00:06:16,900 –> 00:06:20,300
\nYou know, if we go on like this,
\nwe shall be submerged in what <\/p>\n

92
\n00:06:20,300 –> 00:06:27,100
\nhas come to be known in, in, in
\nsort of discussion circles as <\/p>\n

93
\n00:06:27,200 –> 00:06:32,300
\nthe apple and fruit argument,
\nthat is to say all apples are <\/p>\n

94
\n00:06:32,300 –> 00:06:35,300
\nfruit, therefore, all fruit is
\nApple’s. <\/p>\n

95
\n00:06:36,000 –> 00:06:39,500
\nNow, one of the reasons we don’t
\naccept that is that we know for <\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:39,500 –> 00:06:42,900
\nsure that some of them are plums
\nand summer peaches and some are <\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:42,900 –> 00:06:46,600
\napricots and we do detect the in
\nthat argument there is a flaw <\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:46,600 –> 00:06:51,800
\nand we are, right?
\nSo Fellowship is friendship but <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:51,800 –> 00:06:54,300
\nnot all friendship is
\nfellowship. <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:54,900 –> 00:06:56,800
\nWe know in our deepest heart,
\ndon’t we? <\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:56,800 –> 00:07:01,800
\nThat no amount of friendship can
\ncreate fellowship. <\/p>\n

102
\n00:07:01,900 –> 00:07:06,500
\nIf the Divine element is missing
\nno don’t don’t let don’t let’s <\/p>\n

103
\n00:07:06,500 –> 00:07:10,700
\nmisunderstand the proposition.
\nIt means that given the <\/p>\n

104
\n00:07:10,700 –> 00:07:15,400
\nexistence of True Fellowship
\nwhich is based on Sound <\/p>\n

105
\n00:07:15,400 –> 00:07:21,900
\nfundamentals, they comes to its
\nhighest realization on the level<\/p>\n

106
\n00:07:22,100 –> 00:07:27,000
\nof true friendship when that
\nproperly understood and really, <\/p>\n

107
\n00:07:27,000 –> 00:07:30,200
\nI don’t propose to beat about
\nthe bush any longer because Bush<\/p>\n

108
\n00:07:30,200 –> 00:07:34,300
\nbeating does no good really.
\nSo I’m going to come to the <\/p>\n

109
\n00:07:34,300 –> 00:07:37,900
\npoint now straight away and say,
\nthe idea, the proposition is <\/p>\n

110
\n00:07:37,900 –> 00:07:43,100
\nprovoked in my mind and I hope
\nin yours by the fifteenth verse <\/p>\n

111
\n00:07:43,100 –> 00:07:50,300
\nof the fifteenth chapter.
\nOur of the Gospel of John our <\/p>\n

112
\n00:07:50,300 –> 00:07:54,100
\nLord.
\nSpeaking his Apostle says no <\/p>\n

113
\n00:07:54,100 –> 00:07:58,000
\nlonger do I call you servants
\nfor the servant knoweth not what<\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:58,000 –> 00:08:02,900
\nhis Lord doing but I have called
\nyou friends for all things that <\/p>\n

115
\n00:08:02,900 –> 00:08:06,600
\nI have heard from my father I
\nhave made known unto you. <\/p>\n

116
\n00:08:07,400 –> 00:08:10,300
\nNow we need to notice the words
\ncarefully in the Bible, every <\/p>\n

117
\n00:08:10,300 –> 00:08:13,300
\nword is important, but we need
\nto notice these words, <\/p>\n

118
\n00:08:13,300 –> 00:08:17,000
\nespecially careful.
\nLee because you will observe a <\/p>\n

119
\n00:08:17,000 –> 00:08:21,200
\nchange in, the relationship is
\ntaking place. <\/p>\n

120
\n00:08:21,800 –> 00:08:25,900
\nThe word suggests that these men
\nin some way are passing into <\/p>\n

121
\n00:08:25,900 –> 00:08:30,600
\nsomething, which is deeper and
\ncloser, no longer do I call you <\/p>\n

122
\n00:08:30,600 –> 00:08:36,200
\nservants, as you will know, more
\naccurately slaves, bonds flavors<\/p>\n

123
\n00:08:38,200 –> 00:08:42,100
\nAt first, the king called them
\ndisciples and sure they are <\/p>\n

124
\n00:08:42,100 –> 00:08:44,700
\ndisciple.
\nIf he be a true one is in <\/p>\n

125
\n00:08:44,700 –> 00:08:48,000
\nfellowship with his Lord.
\nAnd then later on, he called <\/p>\n

126
\n00:08:48,000 –> 00:08:51,400
\nthem the same men.
\nHe called them Apostles. <\/p>\n

127
\n00:08:51,900 –> 00:08:54,700
\nAnd an apostle is one cent in
\nthe name of another with <\/p>\n

128
\n00:08:54,700 –> 00:08:57,900
\nauthority, and if they went
\nforth in his name and hit with <\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:57,900 –> 00:09:01,800
\nhis authority, then surely the
\nfellowship was in hands and <\/p>\n

130
\n00:09:01,800 –> 00:09:06,000
\nintensified but now there is a
\nchange taking place. <\/p>\n

131
\n00:09:06,300 –> 00:09:09,100
\nNo Longer do I call you
\nservants? <\/p>\n

132
\n00:09:09,200 –> 00:09:12,700
\nI have called you friends now.
\nWe don’t have to be careful, not<\/p>\n

133
\n00:09:12,700 –> 00:09:15,800
\nto make a mistake.
\nIt does not mean that in some <\/p>\n

134
\n00:09:15,800 –> 00:09:17,400
\nsense they have not been his
\nfriend. <\/p>\n

135
\n00:09:19,500 –> 00:09:22,200
\nNor does it mean that being
\nfriends they had in some way <\/p>\n

136
\n00:09:22,200 –> 00:09:25,800
\nshe’s to be disciples.
\nNor does it mean that in some <\/p>\n

137
\n00:09:25,800 –> 00:09:30,000
\nway they are no longer Apostles.
\nAs a matter of fact, the the <\/p>\n

138
\n00:09:30,000 –> 00:09:32,800
\ngreatest part of their
\napostleship was still future. <\/p>\n

139
\n00:09:33,800 –> 00:09:37,500
\nNor does it mean that in any way
\nthey had ceased to be servants? <\/p>\n

140
\n00:09:37,500 –> 00:09:40,400
\nBecause, did you notice verse
\n20? <\/p>\n

141
\n00:09:41,100 –> 00:09:43,100
\nIn verse 20?
\nHe said, Remember the word that <\/p>\n

142
\n00:09:43,100 –> 00:09:46,800
\nI said, unto you a servant is
\nnot greater than his Lord. <\/p>\n

143
\n00:09:47,100 –> 00:09:50,000
\nNow that referred to something,
\nhe said to them, evidently <\/p>\n

144
\n00:09:50,000 –> 00:09:52,200
\nbefore.
\nBut as he now urges them to <\/p>\n

145
\n00:09:52,200 –> 00:09:56,700
\nremember it, quite clearly, it’s
\nindicated that that relationship<\/p>\n

146
\n00:09:56,700 –> 00:10:00,900
\nwas to be maintained, so they
\nwere still his servants, the all<\/p>\n

147
\n00:10:00,900 –> 00:10:06,500
\nthis being true, it They came
\nhere is distinctly and <\/p>\n

148
\n00:10:06,500 –> 00:10:10,000
\ndefinitely marking a change in
\nhis relationship, with his <\/p>\n

149
\n00:10:10,000 –> 00:10:14,500
\ndisciples, with his Apostles,
\nwith his servants, no longer. <\/p>\n

150
\n00:10:14,500 –> 00:10:19,500
\nThat’s the vital thing to note
\nis no longer the very words mean<\/p>\n

151
\n00:10:19,500 –> 00:10:23,300
\nA change is taking place.
\nIf it is to be no longer than <\/p>\n

152
\n00:10:23,300 –> 00:10:27,500
\nsomething is in the process of
\nalteration, no longer do I call <\/p>\n

153
\n00:10:27,500 –> 00:10:30,400
\nyou slaves and then the very
\ncharacter of the change is <\/p>\n

154
\n00:10:30,400 –> 00:10:33,600
\nrevealed.
\nIn the words, I have called Did <\/p>\n

155
\n00:10:33,600 –> 00:10:37,400
\nyou friends?
\nAnd I am saying to you that at <\/p>\n

156
\n00:10:37,400 –> 00:10:40,600
\nonce we are taken on to a
\ndifferent level. <\/p>\n

157
\n00:10:42,200 –> 00:10:45,300
\nDiscipleship is one thing, it is
\nessential and vital. <\/p>\n

158
\n00:10:46,300 –> 00:10:48,800
\nApostleship is another thing, it
\nis Central. <\/p>\n

159
\n00:10:48,800 –> 00:10:53,100
\nAnd the fun of the deaf servant,
\nit servanthood is one thing. <\/p>\n

160
\n00:10:53,200 –> 00:10:58,000
\nIt is Central, it is devoted and
\nobedient now, all these <\/p>\n

161
\n00:10:58,300 –> 00:11:04,000
\nrelationships Express, an idea
\nof Fellowship they do. <\/p>\n

162
\n00:11:04,700 –> 00:11:09,800
\nBut then as it were, the final
\nconception is in the words, I <\/p>\n

163
\n00:11:09,800 –> 00:11:14,800
\nhave called you friends.
\nAll the other relationships are <\/p>\n

164
\n00:11:14,800 –> 00:11:18,000
\npart of the process of
\nFellowship, but then, as it were<\/p>\n

165
\n00:11:18,800 –> 00:11:24,100
\ncentrally and finally I have
\ncalled you friends. <\/p>\n

166
\n00:11:24,500 –> 00:11:28,200
\nAnd we ought to understand that
\nthat sentence does not one Whit <\/p>\n

167
\n00:11:28,200 –> 00:11:32,700
\nin any way diminish or – or in
\nany way, harm, any of the other <\/p>\n

168
\n00:11:32,700 –> 00:11:35,100
\nrelationships.
\nBut instead, it takes their <\/p>\n

169
\n00:11:35,100 –> 00:11:38,600
\nvalues and makes them even more
\nintimate, more beautiful, and <\/p>\n

170
\n00:11:38,600 –> 00:11:42,000
\nmore glorious.
\nAnd so brother president, It was<\/p>\n

171
\n00:11:42,000 –> 00:11:46,200
\nfor that reason that I proposed
\nto you, that friendship is the <\/p>\n

172
\n00:11:46,200 –> 00:11:49,500
\nhighest form of Fellowship.
\nIt seemed to me and I hope it <\/p>\n

173
\n00:11:49,500 –> 00:11:53,200
\nseems to you that the 15th verse
\nof the 15th chapter of John <\/p>\n

174
\n00:11:53,300 –> 00:11:57,000
\nproperly, understood is saying
\nthat very thing to us, that <\/p>\n

175
\n00:11:57,000 –> 00:11:59,700
\nfriendship is the highest form
\nof Fellowship. <\/p>\n

176
\n00:12:00,400 –> 00:12:03,300
\nBut in order to take a
\nmeasurement in order to see <\/p>\n

177
\n00:12:03,300 –> 00:12:07,200
\nwhether it is true or not, or
\nwhether are interpretation of it<\/p>\n

178
\n00:12:07,200 –> 00:12:08,800
\nis true or not.
\nRussia. <\/p>\n

179
\n00:12:08,800 –> 00:12:11,500
\nNow we shall need now to ponder
\nthe idea. <\/p>\n

180
\n00:12:11,700 –> 00:12:15,300
\nOf Fellowship.
\nPerhaps more penetrating Lee. <\/p>\n

181
\n00:12:16,600 –> 00:12:19,400
\nI don’t want to take up time
\ngoing over terrain which is <\/p>\n

182
\n00:12:19,400 –> 00:12:22,900
\nalready well trodden and I’m
\nvery conscious and in speaking <\/p>\n

183
\n00:12:22,900 –> 00:12:26,500
\nto you tonight I am speaking to
\npeople who are exceedingly well <\/p>\n

184
\n00:12:26,500 –> 00:12:29,900
\ntutored in biblical Exposition
\nand therefore I’m going to take <\/p>\n

185
\n00:12:29,900 –> 00:12:33,100
\nit for granted that there’s no
\nneed for me to go into the <\/p>\n

186
\n00:12:33,100 –> 00:12:36,100
\nrelative values of the various
\nWords which are used in the New <\/p>\n

187
\n00:12:36,100 –> 00:12:40,400
\nTestament to describe the idea
\nof Fellowship because you know <\/p>\n

188
\n00:12:40,400 –> 00:12:42,900
\nthem.
\nWell Fellowship contribution <\/p>\n

189
\n00:12:42,900 –> 00:12:46,700
\ndistribution communication
\ncommunion And if we turn from <\/p>\n

190
\n00:12:46,700 –> 00:12:49,800
\nthe abstract noun to the common
\nnoun, we have words like <\/p>\n

191
\n00:12:49,900 –> 00:12:56,400
\nPartners partakers companions.
\nAll those words emphasized in a <\/p>\n

192
\n00:12:56,400 –> 00:13:00,600
\nway how rich the idea of
\nFellowship really is but for the<\/p>\n

193
\n00:13:00,600 –> 00:13:04,500
\npurposes of this consideration,
\nI shall leave all those words <\/p>\n

194
\n00:13:04,500 –> 00:13:06,700
\nwhich you know well expect
\nyou’ll be through them with a <\/p>\n

195
\n00:13:06,708 –> 00:13:10,300
\ntoothed comb already and I’m
\ngoing to leave them and look at <\/p>\n

196
\n00:13:10,300 –> 00:13:13,300
\nsomething in the Acts of the
\nApostles something which is <\/p>\n

197
\n00:13:13,300 –> 00:13:16,800
\nrevealed in the experience of
\nthe infant Ecclesia which gives <\/p>\n

198
\n00:13:16,800 –> 00:13:20,100
\nus an illustration of fellowship
\nand we may say it’s an <\/p>\n

199
\n00:13:20,100 –> 00:13:23,300
\nillustration and in its very
\nsimplest. <\/p>\n

200
\n00:13:24,000 –> 00:13:26,400
\nTerms.
\nBut at it’s very nobilis <\/p>\n

201
\n00:13:26,400 –> 00:13:28,200
\ndefinition.
\nI’m thinking of the fourth <\/p>\n

202
\n00:13:28,200 –> 00:13:32,900
\nchapter of the Acts of the
\nApostles A memory that fourth <\/p>\n

203
\n00:13:32,900 –> 00:13:36,800
\nchapter of Acts it tells us, but
\nin the days of the pure and <\/p>\n

204
\n00:13:36,800 –> 00:13:41,000
\nuncorrupted, faith in the days
\nwhen the disciples were impulse <\/p>\n

205
\n00:13:41,000 –> 00:13:44,200
\nbuy love in the days.
\nWhen the Ecclesia was utterly <\/p>\n

206
\n00:13:44,200 –> 00:13:48,800
\nMastered by the truth.
\nBut in those days, when <\/p>\n

207
\n00:13:48,800 –> 00:13:52,500
\nFellowship came to each finest
\nrealization, I think you would <\/p>\n

208
\n00:13:52,500 –> 00:13:59,500
\nconcede that, in those early
\ndays of that infant church, that<\/p>\n

209
\n00:13:59,500 –> 00:14:04,000
\nthe, the men and women in Jesus
\nwere closely knit together and <\/p>\n

210
\n00:14:04,000 –> 00:14:07,100
\nweek, I think we could say that
\nin those days Fellowship, <\/p>\n

211
\n00:14:07,100 –> 00:14:10,900
\nwhatever it means came to its
\nfinest realization. <\/p>\n

212
\n00:14:11,400 –> 00:14:18,800
\nIt says in verse 32 of actual,
\nthey had all things common, they<\/p>\n

213
\n00:14:18,800 –> 00:14:23,700
\nhad all things common and the
\nword which is translated, common<\/p>\n

214
\n00:14:24,100 –> 00:14:27,200
\nis the root word from which
\ncomes the word, translated <\/p>\n

215
\n00:14:27,200 –> 00:14:30,400
\nFellowship, so that gives us an
\nidea. <\/p>\n

216
\n00:14:31,900 –> 00:14:36,000
\nGives us something to go on when
\nwe are pursuing the idea of <\/p>\n

217
\n00:14:36,000 –> 00:14:38,900
\nfellowship and if we pursue the
\nidea at that level and <\/p>\n

218
\n00:14:38,900 –> 00:14:43,000
\nsupposing, we do for the time
\nbeing pursue it at that level. <\/p>\n

219
\n00:14:43,800 –> 00:14:46,600
\nWhere if we ask the question,
\nwhat is fellowship with men? <\/p>\n

220
\n00:14:46,800 –> 00:14:49,400
\nWell, that it is having all
\nthings common with them. <\/p>\n

221
\n00:14:52,100 –> 00:14:55,100
\nAnd if we pursue it even further
\nand say what is fellowship with <\/p>\n

222
\n00:14:55,100 –> 00:15:00,400
\nGod?
\nThen if we take the idea further<\/p>\n

223
\n00:15:00,400 –> 00:15:03,500
\nand ask that question, what is
\nfellowship with God while of <\/p>\n

224
\n00:15:03,500 –> 00:15:08,200
\ncourse, immediately it becomes
\nstartling amazing and well it <\/p>\n

225
\n00:15:08,200 –> 00:15:12,000
\nholds us in our tracks but never
\nmind let us go on with reverence<\/p>\n

226
\n00:15:12,000 –> 00:15:16,900
\nand godly fear and say, It is
\nhaving all things common with <\/p>\n

227
\n00:15:16,900 –> 00:15:21,500
\nhim.
\nAnd when I think of that, I am <\/p>\n

228
\n00:15:21,500 –> 00:15:25,100
\ndifferent to think of friendship
\nbecause as it appears to me the <\/p>\n

229
\n00:15:25,100 –> 00:15:29,700
\nbasis of true friendship is
\nreally having all things common.<\/p>\n

230
\n00:15:30,300 –> 00:15:34,300
\nThat is to say it is reciprocal
\nand self-emptying love resulting<\/p>\n

231
\n00:15:34,300 –> 00:15:39,300
\nin a kind of mutual interest.
\nIt is always and forever to be <\/p>\n

232
\n00:15:39,300 –> 00:15:42,200
\nseeking the interests of my
\nfriend, whoever he is to the <\/p>\n

233
\n00:15:42,200 –> 00:15:45,700
\nforgetful of for lesser myself
\nand he the same with me. <\/p>\n

234
\n00:15:48,200 –> 00:15:51,100
\nAnd if you go back to John 15,
\nyou can notice the reason why <\/p>\n

235
\n00:15:51,100 –> 00:15:56,200
\nthe King was calling these men
\nwho are servants and was now <\/p>\n

236
\n00:15:56,200 –> 00:15:59,900
\ncalling them to be friends.
\nHe said in verse 15 henceforth, <\/p>\n

237
\n00:15:59,900 –> 00:16:03,700
\nI call you not servants and he
\ngives his reason for the servant<\/p>\n

238
\n00:16:03,700 –> 00:16:07,800
\nknoweth not what his Lord do it,
\nbut I have called you friends <\/p>\n

239
\n00:16:08,000 –> 00:16:11,100
\nfor all things that I’ve heard
\nof my father, I have made known <\/p>\n

240
\n00:16:11,100 –> 00:16:13,500
\nunto you.
\nThat is to say he had shared <\/p>\n

241
\n00:16:13,500 –> 00:16:16,100
\nwith them.
\nThe things that he had received <\/p>\n

242
\n00:16:16,100 –> 00:16:17,800
\nconsequently, they had all
\nthings. <\/p>\n

243
\n00:16:18,000 –> 00:16:20,400
\nWas common.
\nAnd because of this, they became<\/p>\n

244
\n00:16:20,400 –> 00:16:24,000
\nhis friends.
\nIs he a slave must give <\/p>\n

245
\n00:16:24,300 –> 00:16:27,800
\nunquestioning unquestioning
\nobedience to his master. <\/p>\n

246
\n00:16:28,200 –> 00:16:30,400
\nThat is to say it is blind,
\nobedience. <\/p>\n

247
\n00:16:32,100 –> 00:16:34,500
\nHe did nothing on his own
\ninitiative. <\/p>\n

248
\n00:16:34,800 –> 00:16:37,100
\nHe was unable to possess
\nanything himself. <\/p>\n

249
\n00:16:37,300 –> 00:16:40,900
\nHe was unable to elect he.
\nHe acted out of fear. <\/p>\n

250
\n00:16:40,900 –> 00:16:44,300
\nHe did eat it all things
\nfearfully without understanding.<\/p>\n

251
\n00:16:45,900 –> 00:16:48,100
\nNow, let’s be careful not to go
\nwrong here. <\/p>\n

252
\n00:16:48,100 –> 00:16:51,700
\nThere is a sense, of course in
\nwhich disciples who our friends <\/p>\n

253
\n00:16:51,700 –> 00:16:54,900
\nare also still bondslaves.
\nLet’s not make that mistake <\/p>\n

254
\n00:16:55,000 –> 00:16:56,800
\nindeed.
\nThere was one Apostle who said <\/p>\n

255
\n00:16:56,800 –> 00:16:59,700
\nhe was born out of due time, but
\nyou said also that he was not <\/p>\n

256
\n00:16:59,700 –> 00:17:02,500
\none Whit behind the very
\nchiefest of the Apostles, he <\/p>\n

257
\n00:17:02,500 –> 00:17:05,900
\nloves to call himself the bond
\nslave of Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n

258
\n00:17:06,800 –> 00:17:10,300
\nBut in the change relationship,
\nthe bond slave relationship is <\/p>\n

259
\n00:17:10,300 –> 00:17:12,500
\nalso changed.
\nThe bond. <\/p>\n

260
\n00:17:12,500 –> 00:17:14,500
\nSlave is still the property of
\nhis Lord. <\/p>\n

261
\n00:17:14,500 –> 00:17:18,700
\nBut now when he elects, he does
\nit under the loving compulsion <\/p>\n

262
\n00:17:18,700 –> 00:17:22,700
\nof his friends choice and when
\nhe possesses, he shares the good<\/p>\n

263
\n00:17:22,700 –> 00:17:24,800
\ngifts which comes from his
\nfriends Bounty. <\/p>\n

264
\n00:17:24,900 –> 00:17:28,300
\nFor instance, he has heard this
\nall things are yours and you are<\/p>\n

265
\n00:17:28,300 –> 00:17:32,400
\nChrist’s and Christ is God’s.
\nAnd when he acts, he acts to <\/p>\n

266
\n00:17:32,400 –> 00:17:35,800
\nadvance the very cause in which
\nin some way he himself has <\/p>\n

267
\n00:17:35,800 –> 00:17:38,200
\nbecome a partner.
\nThat is having become a fellow <\/p>\n

268
\n00:17:38,200 –> 00:17:41,800
\nlaborer with God.
\nYou see the master principle of <\/p>\n

269
\n00:17:41,800 –> 00:17:45,600
\nslavery is unquestioning
\nobedience or unquestioning <\/p>\n

270
\n00:17:45,600 –> 00:17:49,400
\nsubmission and blind obedience
\nbut that’s not the master <\/p>\n

271
\n00:17:49,400 –> 00:17:50,900
\nprinciple of Friendship with the
\nKing. <\/p>\n

272
\n00:17:50,900 –> 00:17:56,100
\nNever the friends of Jesus asked
\nsubmissive but they are not on <\/p>\n

273
\n00:17:56,100 –> 00:17:58,500
\nquestioning.
\nThe friends of Jesus are <\/p>\n

274
\n00:17:58,500 –> 00:18:04,000
\nobedient but not blindly.
\nHe has told them all things and <\/p>\n

275
\n00:18:04,000 –> 00:18:07,600
\nthey have asked him many things.
\nAnd when he had answered their <\/p>\n

276
\n00:18:07,600 –> 00:18:12,100
\ndoubts and when he had
\nilluminated their minds and when<\/p>\n

277
\n00:18:12,100 –> 00:18:15,500
\nhe had shattered their
\nblindness, then he said no <\/p>\n

278
\n00:18:15,500 –> 00:18:20,300
\nlonger do I call you slaves, I
\nhave called you friends but is I<\/p>\n

279
\n00:18:20,300 –> 00:18:22,500
\nhave admitted you into the
\nsecret things. <\/p>\n

280
\n00:18:22,800 –> 00:18:26,800
\nYou are coming into the Inner
\nCircle I have told you all <\/p>\n

281
\n00:18:26,800 –> 00:18:29,800
\nthings.
\nWe have all things, common. <\/p>\n

282
\n00:18:31,200 –> 00:18:34,800
\nAnd so, at last, they gave him
\nintelligent obedience and they <\/p>\n

283
\n00:18:34,800 –> 00:18:38,200
\ngive they give him satisfied.
\nSubmission course. <\/p>\n

284
\n00:18:38,600 –> 00:18:41,000
\nWe understand what we ought to
\nunderstand that it didn’t <\/p>\n

285
\n00:18:41,000 –> 00:18:44,000
\nhappen.
\nIt didn’t happen. <\/p>\n

286
\n00:18:44,800 –> 00:18:48,800
\nSuddenly like magic overnight.
\nIt never does you see? <\/p>\n

287
\n00:18:49,200 –> 00:18:52,300
\nAlthough he has answered all
\ntheir questions that <\/p>\n

288
\n00:18:52,300 –> 00:18:54,500
\nnevertheless, here is a man
\nasking. <\/p>\n

289
\n00:18:54,500 –> 00:18:58,300
\nLord, with a goest thou here is
\na man asking. <\/p>\n

290
\n00:18:58,400 –> 00:19:00,700
\nLord, why can’t I follow thee
\nnow? <\/p>\n

291
\n00:19:01,000 –> 00:19:04,600
\nHere is a man asking Lord show
\nus the father and it sufficeth <\/p>\n

292
\n00:19:04,600 –> 00:19:09,200
\nus.
\nSufficeth us all these men still<\/p>\n

293
\n00:19:09,200 –> 00:19:14,900
\nslaves, then.
\nYes, yes, still slaves, but they<\/p>\n

294
\n00:19:14,900 –> 00:19:17,900
\nare slaves.
\nGetting ready to be friends. <\/p>\n

295
\n00:19:17,900 –> 00:19:23,300
\nIt doesn’t happen like magic.
\nIt may be imperceptible but it’s<\/p>\n

296
\n00:19:23,300 –> 00:19:26,400
\nreal enough.
\nThey are beginning to have all <\/p>\n

297
\n00:19:26,400 –> 00:19:29,800
\nthings common.
\nAnd by that, he made them his <\/p>\n

298
\n00:19:29,800 –> 00:19:32,000
\nfriends, they did not make Make
\nhim their friend. <\/p>\n

299
\n00:19:32,000 –> 00:19:34,900
\nHe said, you did not choose me.
\nI have chosen you. <\/p>\n

300
\n00:19:35,000 –> 00:19:37,300
\nHe took that doubts and
\neventually made them the <\/p>\n

301
\n00:19:37,308 –> 00:19:39,900
\nbastions of Faith.
\nHe took their weakness and <\/p>\n

302
\n00:19:39,900 –> 00:19:41,900
\neventually made it the
\nfoundation of strength. <\/p>\n

303
\n00:19:41,900 –> 00:19:46,000
\nAnd so as they come more fully
\nas it develops and as they come <\/p>\n

304
\n00:19:46,000 –> 00:19:48,300
\nmore fully into the newer
\nrelationship. <\/p>\n

305
\n00:19:48,400 –> 00:19:51,700
\nThey are, they are not slaves.
\nDragging themselves after him in<\/p>\n

306
\n00:19:51,700 –> 00:19:55,200
\nmisery and thinking that somehow
\nin the wedding misery, there is <\/p>\n

307
\n00:19:55,200 –> 00:20:00,300
\nsome virtue not that never For
\nexample, you never find the <\/p>\n

308
\n00:20:00,300 –> 00:20:05,800
\nApostle Paul saying Brethren.
\nThis is a bad business, I can <\/p>\n

309
\n00:20:05,800 –> 00:20:10,300
\npromise, you know, amelioration
\nI’m afraid what cannot be cured <\/p>\n

310
\n00:20:10,300 –> 00:20:13,100
\nwill have to be endured.
\nI cannot give you chapter and <\/p>\n

311
\n00:20:13,100 –> 00:20:16,400
\nverse that brother president
\nbecause there was no such <\/p>\n

312
\n00:20:16,400 –> 00:20:21,300
\nquotation.
\nThese men follow the lord gaily.<\/p>\n

313
\n00:20:21,300 –> 00:20:25,500
\nIf I may say so with reverence
\nthey followed him gaily gladly. <\/p>\n

314
\n00:20:25,500 –> 00:20:28,400
\nThey suffered in his name
\nthinking themselves in some way <\/p>\n

315
\n00:20:28,400 –> 00:20:32,000
\nto be privileged and they did it
\nfor love of him because they <\/p>\n

316
\n00:20:32,000 –> 00:20:35,400
\nwere his friends, they were
\nseeking his interests as he was <\/p>\n

317
\n00:20:35,400 –> 00:20:38,500
\ncertainly seeking.
\nThere’s and putting all they had<\/p>\n

318
\n00:20:38,500 –> 00:20:42,300
\nit, his disposal as he had, but
\nall he had at theirs and they <\/p>\n

319
\n00:20:42,300 –> 00:20:45,500
\nhad all things common.
\nThey are not slaves, but <\/p>\n

320
\n00:20:45,500 –> 00:20:51,500
\nfriends, And yet, in a sense.
\nSlaves as never before. <\/p>\n

321
\n00:20:56,000 –> 00:21:02,800
\nWell, of course it sounds
\nSplendid but like you I am <\/p>\n

322
\n00:21:02,800 –> 00:21:06,200
\nconscious of the fact that when
\nwe when we begin to speak of <\/p>\n

323
\n00:21:06,200 –> 00:21:09,400
\nFriendship with the Son of God,
\nwe are faced at once with the <\/p>\n

324
\n00:21:09,400 –> 00:21:15,700
\nproblem of unreality.
\nI will not, it’s so easy to say <\/p>\n

325
\n00:21:15,700 –> 00:21:20,800
\nit, but really, to believe it.
\nAs a practical thing, it is <\/p>\n

326
\n00:21:20,800 –> 00:21:23,600
\nanother matter.
\nIt is unreal. <\/p>\n

327
\n00:21:23,600 –> 00:21:30,400
\nIn a sense, friendship of this
\nkind with the Son of God having <\/p>\n

328
\n00:21:30,400 –> 00:21:34,700
\nall things, common Touch of
\nunreality about it. <\/p>\n

329
\n00:21:36,700 –> 00:21:40,000
\nSo what we got to do now then we
\nthought about Fellowship, we’ve <\/p>\n

330
\n00:21:40,000 –> 00:21:41,900
\ngot an event next about
\nfriendship. <\/p>\n

331
\n00:21:44,200 –> 00:21:47,500
\nAnd as I start, I’m going to
\nread you somebody else’s <\/p>\n

332
\n00:21:47,500 –> 00:21:52,800
\ndefinition of friendship.
\nWith me. <\/p>\n

333
\n00:21:56,400 –> 00:21:58,400
\nSomebody else’s definition of
\nfriendship. <\/p>\n

334
\n00:21:58,400 –> 00:22:01,200
\nNow, it may help us.
\nThat’s all the only reason I <\/p>\n

335
\n00:22:01,200 –> 00:22:04,000
\nraise do.
\nIt may help us and this is it. <\/p>\n

336
\n00:22:04,800 –> 00:22:08,900
\nI’ll tell you who it.
\nIf you like afterwards, all the <\/p>\n

337
\n00:22:08,900 –> 00:22:13,500
\nComfort, the inexpressible
\ncomfort of feeling safe with a <\/p>\n

338
\n00:22:13,500 –> 00:22:18,400
\nperson having neither to way
\nthoughts, nor measure words, but<\/p>\n

339
\n00:22:18,400 –> 00:22:21,700
\npour them out.
\nJust as they are chaff and Grain<\/p>\n

340
\n00:22:21,700 –> 00:22:24,500
\nTogether.
\nKnowing that the faithful hand <\/p>\n

341
\n00:22:24,500 –> 00:22:28,400
\nwill take and sift them.
\nKeep, what is worth keeping? <\/p>\n

342
\n00:22:28,600 –> 00:22:33,300
\nAnd with the breath of kindness
\nblow the rest away. <\/p>\n

343
\n00:22:35,600 –> 00:22:39,800
\nA definition of friendship.
\nWe offer the oppressed I should <\/p>\n

344
\n00:22:39,800 –> 00:22:45,300
\nsay, well, those of you who have
\nhad some experience of English <\/p>\n

345
\n00:22:45,300 –> 00:22:49,100
\nliterature will, perhaps
\nremember a lady named mrs. <\/p>\n

346
\n00:22:49,100 –> 00:22:53,800
\nCraig mrs.
\nCraig lived at the end of the <\/p>\n

347
\n00:22:53,800 –> 00:22:56,300
\n19th century beginning of this
\nCentury. <\/p>\n

348
\n00:22:56,700 –> 00:23:00,400
\nWrote a lot of work, some of
\nthem religious but especially a <\/p>\n

349
\n00:23:00,600 –> 00:23:03,700
\nI think, perhaps the most the
\nbest known of a Works was a book<\/p>\n

350
\n00:23:03,700 –> 00:23:08,900
\ncalled.
\nJohn Halifax, gentlemen, I see a<\/p>\n

351
\n00:23:08,908 –> 00:23:11,600
\nnote of recognition on some of
\nyour faces. <\/p>\n

352
\n00:23:12,500 –> 00:23:18,000
\nThis is great.
\nThe inexpressible comfort of <\/p>\n

353
\n00:23:18,000 –> 00:23:23,100
\nfeeling safe with a person
\nhaving to having not to waive, <\/p>\n

354
\n00:23:23,100 –> 00:23:25,300
\nthoughts, nor measure words, but
\npour them out. <\/p>\n

355
\n00:23:25,300 –> 00:23:30,500
\nJust as they are chaff and Grain
\nTogether and knowing that the <\/p>\n

356
\n00:23:30,500 –> 00:23:34,000
\nfaithful hand will take them and
\nsit them and keep that, which is<\/p>\n

357
\n00:23:34,000 –> 00:23:37,100
\nworth keeping and with the
\nbreath of kindness, blow the <\/p>\n

358
\n00:23:37,100 –> 00:23:41,000
\nrest away.
\nNow, if you think of those words<\/p>\n

359
\n00:23:41,000 –> 00:23:45,000
\nbrothers and sisters, I I think
\nyou will have to agree that at <\/p>\n

360
\n00:23:45,000 –> 00:23:48,700
\nthat level that makes friendship
\na very valuable thing. <\/p>\n

361
\n00:23:48,800 –> 00:23:52,100
\nIt’s not every day that you have
\nfriends measured by that <\/p>\n

362
\n00:23:52,100 –> 00:23:58,100
\nstandard someone with whom there
\nis no need to wear a mask. <\/p>\n

363
\n00:23:58,300 –> 00:24:02,200
\nSomeone with whom there is no
\nneed to play the hypocrite, but <\/p>\n

364
\n00:24:02,200 –> 00:24:06,000
\nthere’s no need to make believe
\nyou can be yourself without <\/p>\n

365
\n00:24:06,000 –> 00:24:08,600
\nfear.
\nYou can feel safe. <\/p>\n

366
\n00:24:08,700 –> 00:24:11,800
\nYou may speak out of the honesty
\nof your own heart, knowing that <\/p>\n

367
\n00:24:11,800 –> 00:24:16,000
\nyour friends will blow away the
\nchaff and keep only the grain. <\/p>\n

368
\n00:24:17,800 –> 00:24:20,700
\nIf when you leave this house
\ntonight and you go home and <\/p>\n

369
\n00:24:20,700 –> 00:24:24,100
\nbefore you go to bed, you sit
\ndown and make out a list of <\/p>\n

370
\n00:24:24,100 –> 00:24:27,800
\npeople with whom you can have
\nthat kind of friendship. <\/p>\n

371
\n00:24:27,900 –> 00:24:30,100
\nCan I say to you?
\nI do not think you will be going<\/p>\n

372
\n00:24:30,100 –> 00:24:36,500
\nto bed very late.
\nOr if you like, can I put it to <\/p>\n

373
\n00:24:36,500 –> 00:24:38,300
\nyou another way?
\nI don’t think you’re likely to <\/p>\n

374
\n00:24:38,300 –> 00:24:44,100
\nget writer’s cramp.
\nCourse will have a big list of <\/p>\n

375
\n00:24:44,100 –> 00:24:47,600
\npeople with whom you are able to
\nhave a polite conversation. <\/p>\n

376
\n00:24:47,600 –> 00:24:51,300
\nOf course, you can have a very
\npleasant evening and enjoyable <\/p>\n

377
\n00:24:51,300 –> 00:24:54,600
\nhour, but there is a sense in
\nwhich you are having to be <\/p>\n

378
\n00:24:54,600 –> 00:24:59,200
\ncareful.
\nYou are outwardly at your best <\/p>\n

379
\n00:24:59,200 –> 00:25:01,800
\nwith them, can I dare I put it
\nlike that brother president <\/p>\n

380
\n00:25:01,800 –> 00:25:04,700
\nwithout seeming to be offensive
\nin any way. <\/p>\n

381
\n00:25:05,000 –> 00:25:09,400
\nWe are at our best, with some
\npeople Yes, I am. <\/p>\n

382
\n00:25:12,400 –> 00:25:16,000
\nYou never dare take them really
\ninto the into the private <\/p>\n

383
\n00:25:16,000 –> 00:25:19,400
\nchamber.
\nWhen you are speaking, there is <\/p>\n

384
\n00:25:19,400 –> 00:25:23,300
\na sense in which you, you are
\nhaving silent reservations. <\/p>\n

385
\n00:25:25,600 –> 00:25:28,400
\nBut not with your friends.
\nYou see, not with your friend, <\/p>\n

386
\n00:25:29,000 –> 00:25:33,800
\nwith your friends, you can think
\naloud, you are true to yourself,<\/p>\n

387
\n00:25:34,000 –> 00:25:37,300
\nsuch as you are.
\nSo you are and because of the <\/p>\n

388
\n00:25:37,300 –> 00:25:41,200
\nAffinity between you so, is he
\nand there is no fear and no <\/p>\n

389
\n00:25:41,200 –> 00:25:44,000
\napprehension and that is utter
\npeace between you. <\/p>\n

390
\n00:25:47,500 –> 00:25:51,600
\nNow.
\nThis is what I want to propose <\/p>\n

391
\n00:25:51,600 –> 00:25:54,300
\nto you.
\nIt is not irreverent to put that<\/p>\n

392
\n00:25:54,300 –> 00:25:58,100
\nmeasurement on your friendship
\nwith the son of God. <\/p>\n

393
\n00:26:02,200 –> 00:26:06,300
\nAnd I am fortified in that view
\nby thinking of something. <\/p>\n

394
\n00:26:06,300 –> 00:26:13,700
\nIn Psalm 32, you remember, Psalm
\n32 is a song which was written <\/p>\n

395
\n00:26:13,700 –> 00:26:18,700
\nby King David.
\nTo celebrate the Wonder and <\/p>\n

396
\n00:26:18,700 –> 00:26:22,600
\nrelief of the pain which had
\ncome to him after his great sin.<\/p>\n

397
\n00:26:23,500 –> 00:26:28,600
\nCourse, when we read it, we read
\nit rather prosaically why nobody<\/p>\n

398
\n00:26:28,600 –> 00:26:31,900
\ncan complain about that.
\nWe say, blessed is the man in <\/p>\n

399
\n00:26:32,200 –> 00:26:35,400
\nwhose sin is Forgiven.
\nAnd whose iniquity is covered, <\/p>\n

400
\n00:26:35,400 –> 00:26:38,100
\nthat’s how we say it.
\nBut when he wrote it, no doubt <\/p>\n

401
\n00:26:38,100 –> 00:26:42,400
\nit was written as it were with a
\ngreat grasp of really blessed. <\/p>\n

402
\n00:26:42,400 –> 00:26:46,800
\nIs the man whose sin is
\nForgiven, the gospel, Leaf on <\/p>\n

403
\n00:26:46,800 –> 00:26:50,300
\nhis iniquity is coming and then
\nhe goes on to say and in whose <\/p>\n

404
\n00:26:50,300 –> 00:26:55,200
\nSpirit, there is no guile.
\nThat’s important. <\/p>\n

405
\n00:26:57,300 –> 00:27:00,200
\nThat sentence came out of his
\nown experience. <\/p>\n

406
\n00:27:00,200 –> 00:27:04,900
\nNo doubt dial is putting on a
\nperformance. <\/p>\n

407
\n00:27:05,900 –> 00:27:08,300
\nGuile is being outwardly.
\nWhat? <\/p>\n

408
\n00:27:08,300 –> 00:27:14,500
\nWe are not inwardly guile is
\nwindow, dressing guile is <\/p>\n

409
\n00:27:14,500 –> 00:27:17,900
\npretense and you wouldn’t
\nbelieve it. <\/p>\n

410
\n00:27:17,900 –> 00:27:20,400
\nBut sometimes we practice it
\nwith God. <\/p>\n

411
\n00:27:21,800 –> 00:27:26,000
\nDavid did he says so in the
\npsalm and his conscience gave <\/p>\n

412
\n00:27:26,000 –> 00:27:28,400
\nhim no rest and he had no peace
\nof mind. <\/p>\n

413
\n00:27:30,200 –> 00:27:33,100
\nGuile is calling bad things by
\ngood names. <\/p>\n

414
\n00:27:34,000 –> 00:27:37,500
\nGuile is making plausible the
\nthings we ought not to have, or <\/p>\n

415
\n00:27:37,500 –> 00:27:45,000
\nwe ought to share. and this is
\nwhat we do, I think, for this, <\/p>\n

416
\n00:27:45,000 –> 00:27:51,600
\nyou what I do as I said to you
\nbefore, I think I am not So here<\/p>\n

417
\n00:27:51,600 –> 00:27:55,300
\nis the measurement if there is
\nsome Secret. <\/p>\n

418
\n00:27:57,000 –> 00:27:58,600
\nI’m putting it.
\nHere are the planet Lee. <\/p>\n

419
\n00:27:58,600 –> 00:28:02,700
\nNow if there is some secret,
\nwhich ought to be acknowledged <\/p>\n

420
\n00:28:02,700 –> 00:28:07,000
\nbut is not and if there is some
\nIndulgence with your to be <\/p>\n

421
\n00:28:07,000 –> 00:28:12,000
\nrepudiated, which instead is
\nnurse and if there is some room <\/p>\n

422
\n00:28:12,000 –> 00:28:16,100
\nup private from which the King
\nhas to be excluded, and if there<\/p>\n

423
\n00:28:16,100 –> 00:28:19,200
\nis some half hour in the day,
\nwhen, you know, his presence <\/p>\n

424
\n00:28:19,200 –> 00:28:24,200
\nmakes you embarrassed, Then can
\nI say to you with a very deep <\/p>\n

425
\n00:28:24,200 –> 00:28:27,600
\nrespect?
\nAlthough your relationship maybe<\/p>\n

426
\n00:28:27,600 –> 00:28:31,000
\nFellowship, it is not
\nfriendship. <\/p>\n

427
\n00:28:31,800 –> 00:28:37,400
\nNot at this high level because
\nwith a friend you do not <\/p>\n

428
\n00:28:37,400 –> 00:28:42,900
\npractice guile.
\nDavid said, blessed is the man <\/p>\n

429
\n00:28:42,900 –> 00:28:49,100
\nwho is guileless with a friend
\nyou are honest and you are open <\/p>\n

430
\n00:28:49,600 –> 00:28:52,400
\nand in The Fellowship of
\nfriendship you are able to <\/p>\n

431
\n00:28:52,400 –> 00:28:59,100
\nconfess your full heart and your
\nfalse soul and in The Fellowship<\/p>\n

432
\n00:28:59,100 –> 00:29:03,400
\nof friendship you may tell your
\ndoubts and your fears and your <\/p>\n

433
\n00:29:03,400 –> 00:29:08,100
\ngriefs and your restlessness.
\nYou may even come praying, <\/p>\n

434
\n00:29:08,100 –> 00:29:11,100
\nperhaps about how God is Is
\ndealing with you. <\/p>\n

435
\n00:29:12,100 –> 00:29:15,200
\nAnd I say it with a defect
\ndeepest reverence, he will take <\/p>\n

436
\n00:29:15,200 –> 00:29:19,000
\nout the Grain and with the
\nbreath of gentle understanding <\/p>\n

437
\n00:29:19,000 –> 00:29:23,700
\nwill blow away the chart.
\nI read this once in the Roman <\/p>\n

438
\n00:29:23,700 –> 00:29:28,000
\nletter, we know not how we ought
\nto pray, but the spirit maketh <\/p>\n

439
\n00:29:28,000 –> 00:29:31,100
\nintercession for us with
\ngroanings which cannot be <\/p>\n

440
\n00:29:31,100 –> 00:29:34,100
\nuttered.
\nYou see, if you force yourself <\/p>\n

441
\n00:29:34,100 –> 00:29:37,300
\ntonight in this house to sing
\nthe hymn of submission and <\/p>\n

442
\n00:29:37,300 –> 00:29:40,300
\nresignation.
\nAnd in the Deep part of you, it <\/p>\n

443
\n00:29:40,300 –> 00:29:43,400
\nis against your will.
\nI doubt very much whether it <\/p>\n

444
\n00:29:43,400 –> 00:29:47,600
\nrises any higher than the
\nceiling of this place, but if on<\/p>\n

445
\n00:29:47,600 –> 00:29:51,400
\nthe other hand, you pull out
\nyour anxiety tonight and your <\/p>\n

446
\n00:29:51,400 –> 00:29:56,800
\nfear, even your indignation, if
\nyou like as Martha, did I think <\/p>\n

447
\n00:29:56,800 –> 00:29:59,500
\nwhen she said I know that he
\nwill be raised again in the <\/p>\n

448
\n00:29:59,500 –> 00:30:03,700
\nresurrection at the last day,
\nthe king will hear it. <\/p>\n

449
\n00:30:04,100 –> 00:30:05,800
\nIf we have understood this,
\nright? <\/p>\n

450
\n00:30:06,000 –> 00:30:09,100
\nThe king will hear it.
\nIt will blow away the chaff and <\/p>\n

451
\n00:30:09,100 –> 00:30:10,800
\nhe will retain that, which is
\ntrue. <\/p>\n

452
\n00:30:11,300 –> 00:30:14,500
\nAnd According to his will he was
\ngive you an answer of peace. <\/p>\n

453
\n00:30:15,600 –> 00:30:18,500
\nRemember, we are trying to
\nunderstand how it is, genuinely <\/p>\n

454
\n00:30:18,500 –> 00:30:22,200
\npossible for failing and broken
\nmen, such as we are to have <\/p>\n

455
\n00:30:22,200 –> 00:30:25,100
\nfriendship with the exalted Son
\nof God. <\/p>\n

456
\n00:30:27,700 –> 00:30:32,000
\nNow in pursuing that thought I’m
\nnever going to ask you to think <\/p>\n

457
\n00:30:32,100 –> 00:30:38,500
\nof the shortest biography in the
\nBible for words to tell a man’s <\/p>\n

458
\n00:30:38,500 –> 00:30:43,400
\nlife.
\nEnoch walked with God, the <\/p>\n

459
\n00:30:43,400 –> 00:30:46,200
\nshortest biography in the Bible
\nGenesis 5. <\/p>\n

460
\n00:30:47,300 –> 00:30:50,100
\nEnoch walked with God in a
\ncivilization, which was <\/p>\n

461
\n00:30:50,100 –> 00:30:53,700
\ndisintegrating, which was
\ndescending, and which at last <\/p>\n

462
\n00:30:53,700 –> 00:30:58,300
\nwas utterly doomed.
\nThis one lonely man walk with <\/p>\n

463
\n00:30:58,300 –> 00:31:01,300
\nhis creator and have you ever
\nthought how impossible that <\/p>\n

464
\n00:31:01,300 –> 00:31:04,200
\nreally is?
\nThe wheat faltering, steps of a <\/p>\n

465
\n00:31:04,200 –> 00:31:07,700
\nman walking with the great
\nYahweh Lord of Heaven and Earth.<\/p>\n

466
\n00:31:08,900 –> 00:31:12,600
\nThink of the great word of Amos
\ncan two walk together except <\/p>\n

467
\n00:31:12,600 –> 00:31:15,200
\nthey be in agreement, we should
\ndo that sentence. <\/p>\n

468
\n00:31:15,200 –> 00:31:17,900
\nNo violence brother and sisters
\nto translate it. <\/p>\n

469
\n00:31:18,200 –> 00:31:22,700
\nCan two walk together except
\nthey be in fellowship with her. <\/p>\n

470
\n00:31:22,700 –> 00:31:24,500
\nDo it.
\nNo violence to change the word <\/p>\n

471
\n00:31:24,500 –> 00:31:27,700
\nbecause you remember in the New
\nTestament, we read this. <\/p>\n

472
\n00:31:27,700 –> 00:31:30,000
\nWhat Fellowship has light with
\nDarkness? <\/p>\n

473
\n00:31:30,200 –> 00:31:33,800
\nWhat agreement hath the temple
\nof God with Idols. <\/p>\n

474
\n00:31:35,300 –> 00:31:38,300
\nSo we could say, can two walk
\ntogether except they be in <\/p>\n

475
\n00:31:38,300 –> 00:31:40,200
\nFellowship.
\nAssha now. <\/p>\n

476
\n00:31:40,200 –> 00:31:42,800
\nWalking implies three things if
\nyou think about it. <\/p>\n

477
\n00:31:42,800 –> 00:31:46,400
\nBut let’s think of this Enoch
\nwalked with God, walking now, <\/p>\n

478
\n00:31:46,400 –> 00:31:48,100
\nlet’s think about walking for a
\nbit. <\/p>\n

479
\n00:31:48,300 –> 00:31:51,500
\nBut Tim I’m suggesting to you
\nthat it implies three things <\/p>\n

480
\n00:31:51,600 –> 00:31:55,800
\nwill effort and Direction.
\nNow, every time you walk <\/p>\n

481
\n00:31:55,800 –> 00:32:00,900
\nanywhere, it is an act of your
\nwill Just to cover every <\/p>\n

482
\n00:32:00,900 –> 00:32:04,100
\npossible argument.
\nWhen a pleasant I’ll enter in <\/p>\n

483
\n00:32:04,100 –> 00:32:06,800
\nthat statement, I will end at
\none qualification. <\/p>\n

484
\n00:32:06,800 –> 00:32:09,300
\nI said every time you walk
\nanywhere, it’s an act of you’re <\/p>\n

485
\n00:32:09,300 –> 00:32:12,500
\nwelcome, one qualification it
\nunless you happen to be <\/p>\n

486
\n00:32:12,500 –> 00:32:14,300
\nsleepwalking, I’ll give you
\nthat. <\/p>\n

487
\n00:32:16,800 –> 00:32:21,700
\nBut apart from sleepwalking
\nevery time you walk, it’s an act<\/p>\n

488
\n00:32:21,700 –> 00:32:26,400
\nof will that is to say, I’m not
\neven if that’s an act of desire.<\/p>\n

489
\n00:32:26,500 –> 00:32:30,100
\nYou may not want to go.
\nBut if you go, you will be. <\/p>\n

490
\n00:32:30,100 –> 00:32:33,000
\nI mean you may not want to walk
\nto the dentist. <\/p>\n

491
\n00:32:33,500 –> 00:32:36,000
\nAnd if there’s any dentist here,
\ncan I say I have the deepest <\/p>\n

492
\n00:32:36,000 –> 00:32:39,900
\nrespect for your profession?
\nYou may not want to walk to the <\/p>\n

493
\n00:32:39,900 –> 00:32:44,400
\ndentist, but if you walk there
\nwhile you’ve willed it, So <\/p>\n

494
\n00:32:44,400 –> 00:32:48,500
\nwalking first of all implies
\nwill and act of Will and then it<\/p>\n

495
\n00:32:48,500 –> 00:32:52,600
\nimplies effort.
\nI know it comes so easily to us <\/p>\n

496
\n00:32:52,600 –> 00:32:56,900
\nnormally, but if we lie in bed
\nfor three months and then try to<\/p>\n

497
\n00:32:56,900 –> 00:33:01,400
\nwalk, we shall know that walking
\nimplies effort and then walking <\/p>\n

498
\n00:33:01,400 –> 00:33:04,100
\nimplies Direction because even
\nwalking backwards are in a <\/p>\n

499
\n00:33:04,108 –> 00:33:06,600
\ncircle you’re going somewhere.
\nYou may not make a lot of <\/p>\n

500
\n00:33:06,608 –> 00:33:08,200
\nprogress but you’re going
\nsomewhere. <\/p>\n

501
\n00:33:08,700 –> 00:33:12,500
\nSo we’ll effort and Direction.
\nNow you think of those three <\/p>\n

502
\n00:33:12,500 –> 00:33:15,100
\nthings in come the country in
\nthe context of <\/p>\n

503
\n00:33:27,500 –> 00:33:31,000
\nthink of those three things in
\nthe context of Walking with God.<\/p>\n

504
\n00:33:33,400 –> 00:33:39,000
\nA man and God willing the same
\nthing that is to say United in <\/p>\n

505
\n00:33:39,000 –> 00:33:42,800
\nvolition a man and God putting
\nout strength towards the same <\/p>\n

506
\n00:33:42,800 –> 00:33:44,800
\nend.
\nThat is united in effort. <\/p>\n

507
\n00:33:45,000 –> 00:33:48,300
\nA man and God moving in the same
\npath towards the same. <\/p>\n

508
\n00:33:48,300 –> 00:33:51,700
\nUltimate destination that is
\nunited in Direction. <\/p>\n

509
\n00:33:53,900 –> 00:33:56,000
\nThat’s what it means.
\nWhen we talk about walking with <\/p>\n

510
\n00:33:56,000 –> 00:34:01,700
\nGod and you can see it again in
\nthe lonely, man, who went out <\/p>\n

511
\n00:34:01,700 –> 00:34:06,300
\nfrom chaldea.
\nTo the land, which he had never <\/p>\n

512
\n00:34:06,300 –> 00:34:10,900
\nseen and which he didn’t know
\nabout, but to what, which have <\/p>\n

513
\n00:34:10,900 –> 00:34:15,000
\nbeen promised to him.
\nThat lonely, man, Abraham, as I <\/p>\n

514
\n00:34:15,000 –> 00:34:18,600
\nsaid to you on Sunday measured
\nby the wisdom of the world, they<\/p>\n

515
\n00:34:18,600 –> 00:34:22,199
\nwould be counted.
\nA foolish man to do such a thing<\/p>\n

516
\n00:34:23,000 –> 00:34:28,699
\nbut He went out with confidence
\nbecause he was utterly sure of <\/p>\n

517
\n00:34:28,699 –> 00:34:30,900
\nthe god with whom he was
\nwalking. <\/p>\n

518
\n00:34:31,400 –> 00:34:35,300
\nHe went out because he was
\nconvinced Beyond any shout of <\/p>\n

519
\n00:34:35,308 –> 00:34:38,600
\nthe Integrity of the invisible.
\nGod will effort and direction. <\/p>\n

520
\n00:34:38,699 –> 00:34:43,100
\nThat is to say they had all
\nthings common. <\/p>\n

521
\n00:34:44,000 –> 00:34:46,699
\nHave I overstated it.
\nThank you, Abraham. <\/p>\n

522
\n00:34:46,699 –> 00:34:50,400
\nAnd God, they had all things.
\nCommon is that an overstatement <\/p>\n

523
\n00:34:51,900 –> 00:34:55,800
\nWell.
\nI read this in the 22nd chapter <\/p>\n

524
\n00:34:55,800 –> 00:35:00,000
\nof Genesis, they went both of
\nthem. <\/p>\n

525
\n00:35:01,200 –> 00:35:05,400
\nTogether.
\nAnd then there’s a sentence in <\/p>\n

526
\n00:35:05,400 –> 00:35:07,900
\nIsaiah 41, which ought to seal
\nour conviction. <\/p>\n

527
\n00:35:07,900 –> 00:35:12,600
\nIf we need ceiling verse 8 of
\nIsaiah 41 reads like this, but <\/p>\n

528
\n00:35:12,600 –> 00:35:17,700
\nthere is a real art, my servant
\nJacob whom I am the Seed of <\/p>\n

529
\n00:35:17,700 –> 00:35:23,300
\nAbraham, my friend.
\nSo there’s a clear statement <\/p>\n

530
\n00:35:23,300 –> 00:35:27,100
\nthat God and Abraham were
\nfriends, they had all things <\/p>\n

531
\n00:35:27,100 –> 00:35:30,400
\ncommon.
\nDoubt it. <\/p>\n

532
\n00:35:32,200 –> 00:35:33,800
\nLet’s look all the nature of the
\nFriendship. <\/p>\n

533
\n00:35:33,800 –> 00:35:38,700
\nThen as it’s revealed to us in
\nGenesis video, Genesis 15, verse<\/p>\n

534
\n00:35:38,700 –> 00:35:40,500
\n1.
\nGod said fear, not Abraham. <\/p>\n

535
\n00:35:41,000 –> 00:35:43,700
\nI am thy shield and my exceeding
\ngreat reward. <\/p>\n

536
\n00:35:43,700 –> 00:35:48,500
\nAnd then in chapter 18 verse 17,
\nit says and the Lord said, shall<\/p>\n

537
\n00:35:48,500 –> 00:35:51,500
\nI hide from Abraham?
\nThe thing which I do. <\/p>\n

538
\n00:35:52,800 –> 00:35:56,100
\nThe servant knoweth not what his
\nLord do it, but I have called <\/p>\n

539
\n00:35:56,100 –> 00:35:59,300
\nyou friends for all things that
\nI’ve heard of my father, I have <\/p>\n

540
\n00:35:59,300 –> 00:36:01,800
\nmade known unto you.
\nThat is the measure of <\/p>\n

541
\n00:36:01,800 –> 00:36:04,600
\nfriendship.
\nAnd then, shall I hide from <\/p>\n

542
\n00:36:04,600 –> 00:36:08,400
\nAbraham?
\nThe thing, which I do Abraham <\/p>\n

543
\n00:36:08,400 –> 00:36:11,900
\nwas called to fellowship with
\nGod, and as a result of the <\/p>\n

544
\n00:36:11,908 –> 00:36:15,200
\nRevelation, he came into that
\ninner circle of God’s <\/p>\n

545
\n00:36:15,200 –> 00:36:19,500
\nfriendship, remember?
\nWe’re trying to understand how <\/p>\n

546
\n00:36:19,500 –> 00:36:22,400
\nit can be true.
\nThat faltering failing men. <\/p>\n

547
\n00:36:22,800 –> 00:36:27,300
\nSuch as we are, can walk with
\nYahweh, the great God. <\/p>\n

548
\n00:36:29,200 –> 00:36:32,200
\nThe there is something in the
\nNew Testament, which is a kind <\/p>\n

549
\n00:36:32,200 –> 00:36:33,900
\nof counterpart which can help
\nus. <\/p>\n

550
\n00:36:34,200 –> 00:36:39,200
\nI’m thinking of Matthew, 11
\nverse 29, Lord’s words, take my <\/p>\n

551
\n00:36:39,200 –> 00:36:42,400
\nyoke upon you and learn of me
\nfor. <\/p>\n

552
\n00:36:42,400 –> 00:36:45,600
\nI am meek and lowly in heart and
\nye shall find rest unto your <\/p>\n

553
\n00:36:45,600 –> 00:36:50,000
\nsouls.
\nTake my yoke upon. <\/p>\n

554
\n00:36:50,000 –> 00:36:54,600
\nYou think of that for a minute?
\nTake my yoke upon you. <\/p>\n

555
\n00:36:56,200 –> 00:37:01,900
\nPaul said.
\nBe not unequally yoked together <\/p>\n

556
\n00:37:01,900 –> 00:37:05,000
\nwith unbelievers.
\nNow, if you put those two things<\/p>\n

557
\n00:37:05,000 –> 00:37:08,900
\ntogether, it gives you a clear
\nidea of what a yoke is full. <\/p>\n

558
\n00:37:09,300 –> 00:37:15,500
\nIt joins together, those who are
\nburdened bearers and dare, I say<\/p>\n

559
\n00:37:15,500 –> 00:37:17,600
\nit to you.
\nThat being yoked with the king <\/p>\n

560
\n00:37:17,600 –> 00:37:23,700
\nis being unequally yoked.
\nIn that, yoking the burden has <\/p>\n

561
\n00:37:23,700 –> 00:37:26,400
\nbeen cast upon him and you are
\nrested. <\/p>\n

562
\n00:37:26,400 –> 00:37:32,000
\nAnd is that not on equal?
\nBut in your favor, it’s a <\/p>\n

563
\n00:37:32,000 –> 00:37:35,100
\npicture of two yoked together
\nthe strong one and the week, <\/p>\n

564
\n00:37:35,100 –> 00:37:38,600
\nwhen, and because of the strong
\none, the yoke is easy and my <\/p>\n

565
\n00:37:38,600 –> 00:37:41,400
\nburden is light for the other,
\nthat’s what he means. <\/p>\n

566
\n00:37:43,700 –> 00:37:46,700
\nOver the rough places.
\nThe week one is sustained. <\/p>\n

567
\n00:37:49,000 –> 00:37:53,100
\nHe says my burden is light and
\nmy yoke is easy but sometimes we<\/p>\n

568
\n00:37:53,100 –> 00:37:55,200
\nfeel it is not.
\nIt is hard. <\/p>\n

569
\n00:37:56,400 –> 00:38:00,400
\nIt binds the Polish.
\nThat’s what he means. <\/p>\n

570
\n00:38:02,900 –> 00:38:07,100
\nSuch burdens of have to be born
\na born together. <\/p>\n

571
\n00:38:08,600 –> 00:38:11,400
\nOver the rough places.
\nThe weak one is sustained the <\/p>\n

572
\n00:38:11,400 –> 00:38:15,200
\nstrong one waits encouragingly
\nfor the other who fought as I’m <\/p>\n

573
\n00:38:15,200 –> 00:38:18,100
\nusing figures.
\nNow, you understand, learn of <\/p>\n

574
\n00:38:18,100 –> 00:38:22,100
\nme, he said what he means is
\nthat as we are yoked together <\/p>\n

575
\n00:38:22,100 –> 00:38:28,400
\nwith him, all be it on equally.
\nBit by bit, there is a kind of <\/p>\n

576
\n00:38:28,400 –> 00:38:33,100
\nHarmony created betwixt the to
\nour step becomes his step. <\/p>\n

577
\n00:38:33,100 –> 00:38:37,200
\nHis effort becomes our effort,
\nour step, our purpose becomes <\/p>\n

578
\n00:38:37,200 –> 00:38:40,200
\nhis purpose, his Direction
\nbecomes our Direction. <\/p>\n

579
\n00:38:40,700 –> 00:38:43,300
\nThis is the effect of the truth
\nUpon Us bit by bit. <\/p>\n

580
\n00:38:44,000 –> 00:38:47,300
\nAll things I have received.
\nHe said I’ve made known unto you<\/p>\n

581
\n00:38:47,800 –> 00:38:50,700
\nlearn of me.
\nNow this is the highest and the <\/p>\n

582
\n00:38:50,707 –> 00:38:53,600
\nsublimest law of life.
\nIt seems to me and the <\/p>\n

583
\n00:38:53,600 –> 00:38:57,300
\nrealization of is at its best
\nand its noblest is Is perfect <\/p>\n

584
\n00:38:57,300 –> 00:39:00,900
\nFellowship.
\nAnd so brother president. <\/p>\n

585
\n00:39:02,600 –> 00:39:09,400
\nI make my proposition this time.
\nA little more optimistic form of<\/p>\n

586
\n00:39:09,700 –> 00:39:20,900
\nFellowship is friendship.
\nWell, now, the final part of <\/p>\n

587
\n00:39:20,900 –> 00:39:26,900
\nthis meditation takes us back to
\nJohn 15. to what might be called<\/p>\n

588
\n00:39:26,900 –> 00:39:34,200
\nthe The outcome of this
\nrelationship because remember <\/p>\n

589
\n00:39:34,200 –> 00:39:38,000
\nthe address was called
\nfellowship and fruit-bearing. <\/p>\n

590
\n00:39:38,500 –> 00:39:42,600
\nNow let’s see what else.
\nOur lord said no longer do I <\/p>\n

591
\n00:39:42,600 –> 00:39:44,700
\ncall you servants for the
\nservant knoweth not what his <\/p>\n

592
\n00:39:44,700 –> 00:39:47,600
\nLord do it?
\nThat I have called you friends <\/p>\n

593
\n00:39:47,600 –> 00:39:49,600
\nfor all things that I’ve heard
\nfrom my father. <\/p>\n

594
\n00:39:50,000 –> 00:39:53,800
\nI have made known unto you.
\nYou did not choose me, but I <\/p>\n

595
\n00:39:53,800 –> 00:39:57,900
\nchose you and appointed you that
\nyou should go and bear fruit. <\/p>\n

596
\n00:39:58,300 –> 00:40:00,400
\nAnd that your fruit should abide
\nthat what? <\/p>\n

597
\n00:40:00,600 –> 00:40:03,800
\nWhatever you shall ask of my of
\nthe father in my name. <\/p>\n

598
\n00:40:03,800 –> 00:40:08,900
\nHe may give it to you.
\nSo that the new relationship, <\/p>\n

599
\n00:40:08,900 –> 00:40:14,000
\naccording to that statement was
\nnot a static and academic thing <\/p>\n

600
\n00:40:14,900 –> 00:40:20,500
\na theory only, but as a result
\nof the Revelation, they these <\/p>\n

601
\n00:40:20,500 –> 00:40:23,300
\nmen had found God in a way
\nperhaps in which they never <\/p>\n

602
\n00:40:23,500 –> 00:40:26,300
\nfound him before.
\nAnd resulting from that <\/p>\n

603
\n00:40:26,300 –> 00:40:31,000
\nRevelation, there ought to be
\ncreated a new capacity for <\/p>\n

604
\n00:40:31,000 –> 00:40:33,300
\nservice.
\nThat’s what Jesus is saying. <\/p>\n

605
\n00:40:34,200 –> 00:40:39,200
\nYou saying that that you should
\ngo and bear fruit and that your <\/p>\n

606
\n00:40:39,200 –> 00:40:43,400
\nfruit should abide?
\nJesus wants said to Philip he <\/p>\n

607
\n00:40:43,400 –> 00:40:47,000
\nthat hath seen me.
\nHath seen the father and you see<\/p>\n

608
\n00:40:47,000 –> 00:40:50,200
\nunderneath that sentence brother
\nand sisters. <\/p>\n

609
\n00:40:50,200 –> 00:40:54,900
\nThere is a great principle.
\nWe are now without doubt dealing<\/p>\n

610
\n00:40:54,900 –> 00:40:59,500
\nwith deep biblical principles
\nand here we are confronted with <\/p>\n

611
\n00:40:59,500 –> 00:41:06,800
\none in this part of John.
\nHe that hath seen me. <\/p>\n

612
\n00:41:06,800 –> 00:41:12,800
\nHath seen the father.
\nHe said to Philip And when that <\/p>\n

613
\n00:41:12,800 –> 00:41:18,700
\nRevelation strikes, a man a
\nprinciple is at work and the <\/p>\n

614
\n00:41:18,700 –> 00:41:22,600
\nprinciple is this that men
\nbecome like the god, they <\/p>\n

615
\n00:41:22,600 –> 00:41:28,700
\nworship.
\nHow Lord said clip. <\/p>\n

616
\n00:41:29,300 –> 00:41:31,800
\nWhen you look at me, you see my
\nfather. <\/p>\n

617
\n00:41:32,200 –> 00:41:34,800
\nIn other words, your see God.
\nYou see, my God. <\/p>\n

618
\n00:41:36,600 –> 00:41:38,500
\nAnd can I say to you Brennan
\nsisters? <\/p>\n

619
\n00:41:39,000 –> 00:41:44,100
\nIf you are able to look at any
\nman truly and penetratingly you <\/p>\n

620
\n00:41:44,100 –> 00:41:50,800
\nwill see his God you know that
\nBecause every man Reveals His <\/p>\n

621
\n00:41:50,800 –> 00:41:54,500
\nGod in what he is in himself.
\nIn other words, that is an <\/p>\n

622
\n00:41:54,500 –> 00:41:57,600
\ninexorable principle that you
\nbecome like the gods. <\/p>\n

623
\n00:41:57,600 –> 00:42:03,500
\nYou serve, whether you want it
\nor not, and whether you will it <\/p>\n

624
\n00:42:03,500 –> 00:42:09,900
\nor not, you will become like the
\ngod, you serve proof, they well <\/p>\n

625
\n00:42:10,900 –> 00:42:16,200
\nPsalm 115 Have a look at Psalm
\n150. <\/p>\n

626
\n00:42:26,200 –> 00:42:31,000
\nPsalm 115 begins not endorse.
\nOh Lord not unto us but unto thy<\/p>\n

627
\n00:42:31,000 –> 00:42:33,700
\nname, give glory for thy mercy
\nin thy truth. <\/p>\n

628
\n00:42:33,700 –> 00:42:37,800
\nSay wherefore should the
\nnation’s say where is now their <\/p>\n

629
\n00:42:37,800 –> 00:42:42,100
\nGod, our God is in the heavens.
\nHe hath done whatsoever. <\/p>\n

630
\n00:42:42,100 –> 00:42:45,400
\nHe pleased.
\nTheir Idols are silver and gold,<\/p>\n

631
\n00:42:45,400 –> 00:42:48,500
\nthe work of men’s hands.
\nThey have mouths, but they speak<\/p>\n

632
\n00:42:48,500 –> 00:42:51,400
\nnot eyes, have they?
\nBut they see not, they have ears<\/p>\n

633
\n00:42:51,400 –> 00:42:53,500
\nbut they hear not.
\nNot noses, have they? <\/p>\n

634
\n00:42:53,500 –> 00:42:55,900
\nBut they smell not.
\nThey have hands, but they handle<\/p>\n

635
\n00:42:55,900 –> 00:42:59,200
\nnut feed have they but they walk
\nnot neither speak they through <\/p>\n

636
\n00:42:59,200 –> 00:43:02,900
\ntheir throat and they that make
\nthem shall be like unto them. <\/p>\n

637
\n00:43:05,100 –> 00:43:08,600
\nThey that make them shall be
\nlike unto them. <\/p>\n

638
\n00:43:09,200 –> 00:43:16,400
\nIf a man’s God is insensate at
\nlast that man who worships him <\/p>\n

639
\n00:43:16,400 –> 00:43:21,900
\nwill himself become insensate.
\nThat’s what that Psalm writer is<\/p>\n

640
\n00:43:21,900 –> 00:43:26,600
\ntelling us, ultimately, as a
\nman’s Soul response to his God, <\/p>\n

641
\n00:43:26,600 –> 00:43:30,300
\nwhoever they got is.
\nSo, is he and if the God be lost<\/p>\n

642
\n00:43:30,300 –> 00:43:34,700
\nand greed and carnality, so that
\nman would reveal at last in his <\/p>\n

643
\n00:43:34,700 –> 00:43:37,700
\nclass The lust and greed.
\nIn carnality, it is an <\/p>\n

644
\n00:43:37,700 –> 00:43:39,800
\ninexorable principle.
\nI tell you. <\/p>\n

645
\n00:43:41,000 –> 00:43:45,700
\nAnd if that man’s God is Yahweh,
\nthe god of Israel then. <\/p>\n

646
\n00:43:45,700 –> 00:43:47,700
\nSo it lasts that man becomes
\ntruth. <\/p>\n

647
\n00:43:47,700 –> 00:43:52,500
\nGoverned and love.
\nMastered proof 1 John 3 verse 2.<\/p>\n

648
\n00:44:01,000 –> 00:44:15,900
\nTo love John 3:2.
\n1. <\/p>\n

649
\n00:44:15,900 –> 00:44:20,600
\nJohn 3, verse 2 beloved now.
\nAre we the children of God? <\/p>\n

650
\n00:44:21,600 –> 00:44:26,000
\nIt is not yet made manifest what
\nwe shall be, but we know that <\/p>\n

651
\n00:44:26,100 –> 00:44:35,100
\nwhen he is manifested, we shall
\nbe like him for. <\/p>\n

652
\n00:44:35,100 –> 00:44:39,200
\nWe shall see him as he is.
\nThey that make them shall be <\/p>\n

653
\n00:44:39,200 –> 00:44:42,800
\nlike unto them.
\nWe shall be like him. <\/p>\n

654
\n00:44:43,200 –> 00:44:46,900
\nThose two statements in their
\nfinal realization are poles <\/p>\n

655
\n00:44:46,900 –> 00:44:52,000
\napart, but underneath them, that
\nis a common principle men, <\/p>\n

656
\n00:44:52,000 –> 00:44:55,700
\nbecome like the gods, they
\nworship, whichever way it is. <\/p>\n

657
\n00:44:56,000 –> 00:45:01,100
\nNow these men had seen their God
\nin the man of Nazareth. <\/p>\n

658
\n00:45:01,500 –> 00:45:03,800
\nThey had seen in his
\nsinlessness. <\/p>\n

659
\n00:45:04,100 –> 00:45:09,000
\nThe Holiness of God, they had
\nseen in his Compassion the love <\/p>\n

660
\n00:45:09,000 –> 00:45:13,700
\nof God and living within the
\norbit of that Revelation, they <\/p>\n

661
\n00:45:13,700 –> 00:45:18,000
\nwere to bring forth the fruit of
\nHoliness and compassion that is <\/p>\n

662
\n00:45:18,000 –> 00:45:20,900
\nto say they were to become like
\nthe god. <\/p>\n

663
\n00:45:20,900 –> 00:45:25,000
\nThey are discovered in this one.
\nLonely concentric man in an <\/p>\n

664
\n00:45:25,000 –> 00:45:28,900
\neccentric world.
\nAnd all this of course is <\/p>\n

665
\n00:45:28,900 –> 00:45:32,600
\nconnected in a vital way, with
\nthe very first words, which <\/p>\n

666
\n00:45:32,600 –> 00:45:36,000
\nbegan this discourse, I am the
\nTrue Vine. <\/p>\n

667
\n00:45:37,100 –> 00:45:40,800
\nIf you want it more literally
\nand it as it happens the that <\/p>\n

668
\n00:45:40,800 –> 00:45:43,700
\nthe literal is is a blessed
\nThing by the president. <\/p>\n

669
\n00:45:43,700 –> 00:45:50,400
\nIn this case that more accurate
\nto I am the vine the true. <\/p>\n

670
\n00:45:50,600 –> 00:45:55,000
\nThat’s what he actually said.
\nAnd if you think it’s kind of <\/p>\n

671
\n00:45:55,000 –> 00:45:57,000
\nDistinction without a
\ndifference, if you think I’m <\/p>\n

672
\n00:45:57,000 –> 00:46:00,000
\nsplitting hairs, the reason I
\ndraw attention to it is this <\/p>\n

673
\n00:46:00,300 –> 00:46:04,100
\nthat when he said I am the True
\nVine, he did not mean to imply, <\/p>\n

674
\n00:46:04,100 –> 00:46:06,700
\nthat all other Vines were there
\nfor false. <\/p>\n

675
\n00:46:07,000 –> 00:46:14,000
\nNot that I am the vines the true
\nis saying all other Vines are <\/p>\n

676
\n00:46:14,000 –> 00:46:18,400
\nreplicas not false but replicas
\npatterned upon the first the <\/p>\n

677
\n00:46:18,400 –> 00:46:21,600
\nTrue Vine.
\nI am the vine, the true and all <\/p>\n

678
\n00:46:21,600 –> 00:46:25,700
\nother Vines are patterned upon
\nhim in the True Vine, the branch<\/p>\n

679
\n00:46:26,000 –> 00:46:29,400
\nbears fruit and does so by
\ngaining, from the vine, the very<\/p>\n

680
\n00:46:29,400 –> 00:46:31,500
\nlife, which enables it to be
\nfruitful. <\/p>\n

681
\n00:46:31,900 –> 00:46:35,600
\nAnd in a way, that the cluster
\nof fruit is the branches answer <\/p>\n

682
\n00:46:35,600 –> 00:46:39,600
\nthe branches response to the
\nforce, which is given from, Um, <\/p>\n

683
\n00:46:39,600 –> 00:46:44,500
\nthe stop the parent stock and
\nyou don’t have to be a genius to<\/p>\n

684
\n00:46:44,500 –> 00:46:47,600
\nyou.
\nTo realize that our Lord’s use <\/p>\n

685
\n00:46:47,600 –> 00:46:51,700
\nof this figure of the vine in
\nJohn 15, has its roots deep in <\/p>\n

686
\n00:46:51,700 –> 00:46:54,700
\nthe Old Testament because the
\nfigure of the vine wrong through<\/p>\n

687
\n00:46:54,700 –> 00:46:59,400
\nthe Psalms and through prophecy.
\nAnd then out of that deep <\/p>\n

688
\n00:47:00,000 –> 00:47:03,300
\nconception of the vine in the
\nOld Testament, one day, this man<\/p>\n

689
\n00:47:03,300 –> 00:47:09,400
\nof Nazareth stood in the midst
\nof Israel and said Annie was <\/p>\n

691
\n00:47:11,300 –> 00:47:15,800
\nthe old economy and said, I am
\nthe vine, the truth. <\/p>\n

692
\n00:47:16,500 –> 00:47:19,600
\nAnd by contrast, your minds will
\nhave already gone to Isaiah <\/p>\n

693
\n00:47:19,600 –> 00:47:21,100
\nchapter 5.
\nI know you’ve done that. <\/p>\n

\nI trouble.
\nYou say it tight. <\/p>\n

695
\n00:47:23,500 –> 00:47:24,900
\nI can’t keep up with the
\naudience. <\/p>\n

696
\n00:47:24,900 –> 00:47:29,000
\nThat’s my problem.
\nIsaiah 5, you’ve been taking <\/p>\n

697
\n00:47:29,000 –> 00:47:35,800
\noff.
\nYou remember, Isaiah fi, let me <\/p>\n

698
\n00:47:35,800 –> 00:47:39,900

\nMy well-beloved had a Vineyard <\/p>\n

700
\n00:47:47,200 –> 00:47:51,900

\nAnd he made a trench about it in<\/p>\n

\ngathered at the stones that are
\nimplanted it with the choices. <\/p>\n

702
\n00:47:55,300 –> 00:47:59,200
\nFine.
\nAnd built a tower in the midst <\/p>\n

703
\n00:47:59,200 –> 00:48:01,200
\nof it and also huge out of wine

\nYou looked and it was balanced. <\/p>\n

706
\n00:48:17,400 –> 00:48:24,800
\nWhat was he hoping to find?
\nWeathers 7 tells us what he was <\/p>\n

707
\n00:48:24,800 –> 00:48:45,000
\nhoping to find.
\nWell, verse 7 tells us what he <\/p>\n

708
\n00:48:45,000 –> 00:48:49,500
\nwas hoping to find for the

\nat the New Testament conception

\nrevelation of the internal life
\nof the line. <\/p>\n

768
\n00:53:06,700 –> 00:53:11,000
\nThat’s the real issue.
\nThere is a person, the world <\/p>\n

769
\n00:53:11,000 –> 00:53:13,600
\nneeds to see.
\nI think you would have to <\/p>\n

770
\n00:53:13,600 –> 00:53:17,000
\nconcede that.
\nI know it’s dark outside. <\/p>\n

771
\n00:53:17,000 –> 00:53:21,100
\nI know that, but there is a
\nperson, the world needs to see <\/p>\n

772
\n00:53:21,300 –> 00:53:25,400
\nand the question therefore,
\nwhich really comes to us is are <\/p>\n

773
\n00:53:25,400 –> 00:53:29,800
\nwe showing him to the little
\nworld in which we are moving in <\/p>\n

774
\n00:53:29,800 –> 00:53:33,500
\nour society outside?
\nThe waters are dark and stone <\/p>\n

775

\ndust and the Mariners such as
\nthey are. <\/p>\n

776
\n00:53:36,500 –> 00:53:40,300
\nThey need a light?
\nAre we Illuminating the way in <\/p>\n

777
\n00:53:40,300 –> 00:53:42,200
\nthe little world in which we
\nmove? <\/p>\n

778
\n00:53:42,900 –> 00:53:45,200
\nThat’s what he meant.
\nYe are the salt of the earth you<\/p>\n

779
\n00:53:45,200 –> 00:53:49,100

\nYou see outside there is a <\/p>\n

783
\n00:54:01,800 –> 00:54:03,800
\nfamine of hearing the word of
\nGod. <\/p>\n

784
\n00:54:04,200 –> 00:54:06,300
\nMen are dying outside.
\nI know. <\/p>\n

785
\n00:54:08,500 –> 00:54:13,200
\nBut are you finding and feeding

786
\n00:54:13,200 –> 00:54:17,900
\nthere, I know that, but are you
\nfinding and feeding somebody? <\/p>\n

787
\n00:54:18,600 –> 00:54:21,700
\nBecause you are his friends, you
\nknow, the method of his fruit <\/p>\n

788
\n00:54:21,700 –> 00:54:24,500
\nbearing?
\nThere’s a great New Testament <\/p>\n

\nThat’s the kenosis, the <\/p>\n

\n00:55:09,100 –> 00:55:11,700
\nfair.
\nOwn, spiritual selfishness is <\/p>\n

802
\n00:55:11,700 –> 00:55:15,000
\nnot for just for some blessing
\nupon ourselves to consume upon <\/p>\n

803
\n00:55:15,000 –> 00:55:18,900
\nour own desires, even as
\nspiritual desires services, not <\/p>\n

804
\n00:55:18,900 –> 00:55:20,800
\nrendered.
\nSo that the big Harvest may be <\/p>\n

805
\n00:55:20,800 –> 00:55:23,800
\nours in the world to come.
\nThat might be resolved. <\/p>\n

806
\n00:55:23,800 –> 00:55:25,800
\nI don’t doubt that may be the
\nresult. <\/p>\n

807
\n00:55:25,900 –> 00:55:28,300
\nCertainly you may have a big
\nharvest in the world to come, <\/p>\n

808
\n00:55:28,500 –> 00:55:33,600
\nbut that is not the motive.
\nHe went to discover the motive <\/p>\n

809
\n00:55:33,900 –> 00:55:37,000
\nyou If only to read carefully,
\nthe seventh chapter of Judges, <\/p>\n

810
\n00:55:37,000 –> 00:55:42,100
\nonce more to read their of
\n10,000 men of Israel who under <\/p>\n

811
\n00:55:42,100 –> 00:55:48,300
\nGideon lapped at the Waterside,
\nand 9700 were sent home with <\/p>\n

812
\n00:55:48,300 –> 00:55:56,500
\nmen, all of them. 9700 drank to
\nsatisfy themselves when they did<\/p>\n

813
\n00:55:56,500 –> 00:55:59,800
\nit, they were forgetful in their
\nsatisfaction for themselves of <\/p>\n

814
\n00:55:59,800 –> 00:56:02,500
\nthe Commonwealth.
\nThey were forgetful of the <\/p>\n

815
\n00:56:02,500 –> 00:56:05,200
\ncommon good and the need for
\nconstant Readiness. <\/p>\n

816
\n00:56:05,200 –> 00:56:06,600
\nThat is to say in their
\ndrinking. <\/p>\n

817
\n00:56:06,600 –> 00:56:08,800
\nThis is how I read it in their
\ndrinking. <\/p>\n

818
\n00:56:08,800 –> 00:56:12,500
\nThey took unnecessary time over
\nnecessary things and they were <\/p>\n

819
\n00:56:12,500 –> 00:56:16,900
\nalready in the act of their
\ndrinking for the need and God <\/p>\n

820
\n00:56:16,900 –> 00:56:20,100
\nsent them home and may God bless
\nthem everyone and we, everyone <\/p>\n

821
\n00:56:20,100 –> 00:56:24,200
\nbe in his kingdom, but they were
\nnot Judgment at that moment. 300<\/p>\n

822
\n00:56:24,200 –> 00:56:27,600
\nlap to refresh themselves.
\nWhat they did it for one supreme<\/p>\n

823
\n00:56:27,600 –> 00:56:30,000
\nmotive that they would be ready
\nfor the battle. <\/p>\n

824
\n00:56:30,200 –> 00:56:34,100
\nThey refresh themselves for the
\nsake of others, and they were in<\/p>\n

825
\n00:56:34,100 –> 00:56:37,500
\nconstant Readiness as they drank
\nthey drank for the Commonwealth <\/p>\n

826
\n00:56:37,500 –> 00:56:40,200
\nfor the common good.
\nAnd so, it being refreshed, they<\/p>\n

827
\n00:56:40,200 –> 00:56:42,700
\ncould spend themselves in saving
\ntheir brethren. <\/p>\n

828
\n00:56:45,100 –> 00:56:48,600
\nWhat a great victory over the
\nmidianites, the fruit we bear is<\/p>\n

829
\n00:56:48,600 –> 00:56:52,300
\nfor the sake of others, and if
\nwe are his fruit bailing <\/p>\n

830
\n00:56:52,300 –> 00:56:56,700
\nfriends, then that kenosis I
\nreferred to as got in some way <\/p>\n

831
\n00:56:56,700 –> 00:56:58,800
\nto be repeated to us for Love’s
\nsake. <\/p>\n

832
\n00:56:58,800 –> 00:57:02,300
\nWe do what we do.
\nThe Apostle Paul said Christ <\/p>\n

833
\n00:57:02,300 –> 00:57:05,900
\nliveth in me, meant the Life of
\nChrist was being repeated in his<\/p>\n

834
\n00:57:05,900 –> 00:57:09,200
\nown life.
\nSo the in proportion as we know <\/p>\n

835
\n00:57:09,200 –> 00:57:12,100
\nwhat it is to have true
\nfriendship with him. <\/p>\n

836
\n00:57:12,100 –> 00:57:15,300
\nTrue Fellowship, bearing in
\nmind, the proposition, which <\/p>\n

837
\n00:57:15,300 –> 00:57:18,400
\nbegan this meditation.
\nThen in a sense, we shall be <\/p>\n

838
\n00:57:18,400 –> 00:57:22,500
\nable by God’s grace to Bear the
\nfruit that he is seeking. <\/p>\n

839
\n00:57:22,800 –> 00:57:25,300
\nThe only May mean, you know
\nlet’s face it brother and <\/p>\n

840
\n00:57:25,300 –> 00:57:27,700
\nsisters.
\nI spoke about the Yoke being <\/p>\n

841
\n00:57:27,700 –> 00:57:32,500
\neasy and the burden being lidar.
\nYes, indeed the burden is shared<\/p>\n

842
\n00:57:32,500 –> 00:57:37,400
\nbut it may well be that it may
\nmean sacrificing us. <\/p>\n

843
\n00:57:37,600 –> 00:57:40,600
\nInstabilities.
\nIf we mean business it may mean <\/p>\n

844
\n00:57:40,600 –> 00:57:45,200
\nsacrificing our refinements and
\nour preferences, it may mean <\/p>\n

845
\n00:57:45,200 –> 00:57:48,000
\npocketing our pride and
\nconfessing that perhaps may help<\/p>\n

846
\n00:57:48,000 –> 00:57:51,600
\nus God we might have been wrong.
\nPerhaps up to now how about <\/p>\n

847
\n00:57:51,600 –> 00:57:54,900
\nthis?
\nAll that it may mean going on <\/p>\n

848
\n00:57:54,900 –> 00:58:00,300
\nwhen any sane person would say.
\nMan spare thyself it may mean <\/p>\n

849
\n00:58:00,300 –> 00:58:03,700
\nputting what seems to be dead
\nseed into cold ground and having<\/p>\n

850
\n00:58:03,700 –> 00:58:07,400
\nto wait a long time for the
\nemerald Sheen, over the Golden <\/p>\n

851
\n00:58:07,500 –> 00:58:11,900
\nFootage of harvest.
\nIt may mean getting closer to <\/p>\n

852
\n00:58:12,400 –> 00:58:17,100
\nspoil Humanity if by God’s grace
\nout there somewhere. <\/p>\n

853
\n00:58:17,100 –> 00:58:19,200
\nThere is somebody yet to be
\nsaved. <\/p>\n

854
\n00:58:19,800 –> 00:58:22,700
\nIt made me having infinite
\npatience with our Brethren and <\/p>\n

855
\n00:58:22,700 –> 00:58:25,900
\nsisters will gods of the
\nchildren with their fables, and <\/p>\n

856
\n00:58:25,900 –> 00:58:30,400
\ntheir failings, and their ways.
\nAnd it may mean shedding the <\/p>\n

857
\n00:58:30,400 –> 00:58:33,700
\nthings perhaps, which hitherto
\nwill justify with plausible <\/p>\n

858
\n00:58:33,700 –> 00:58:37,300
\narguments, but which in our
\ndeepest heart, we know we ought <\/p>\n

859
\n00:58:37,300 –> 00:58:41,300
\nto If you donate repudiate and
\nit may mean being utterly loyal <\/p>\n

860
\n00:58:41,300 –> 00:58:45,100
\nto the truth when in this place
\nall that, it is being assaulted <\/p>\n

861
\n00:58:45,100 –> 00:58:48,400
\nand assailed and we have to
\nstand right Rock in its defense <\/p>\n

862
\n00:58:48,700 –> 00:58:52,200
\nand it may mean being faithful
\nat all when faith in other <\/p>\n

863
\n00:58:52,200 –> 00:58:55,300
\npeople is growing demon When
\nLove is waxing cold. <\/p>\n

864
\n00:58:57,800 –> 00:59:00,700
\nBut nevertheless, that’s what it
\nmay mean. <\/p>\n

865
\n00:59:01,500 –> 00:59:05,900
\nBut I think we could go away
\nfrom this house tonight. <\/p>\n

866
\n00:59:05,900 –> 00:59:08,800
\nPondering Fellowship.
\nWe could go away with humble <\/p>\n

867
\n00:59:08,800 –> 00:59:11,400
\nconfidence.
\nNevertheless, although it may <\/p>\n

868
\n00:59:11,400 –> 00:59:15,300
\nmean all those things and in a
\nsense that what was a terrible, <\/p>\n

869
\n00:59:15,300 –> 00:59:18,100
\nlisp brother president, was it?
\nNot even a, don’t us. <\/p>\n

870
\n00:59:18,300 –> 00:59:21,300
\nIt may don’t us, but I think we
\nmay go away with humble <\/p>\n

871
\n00:59:21,300 –> 00:59:25,400
\nconfidence because we can notice
\nJesus said his friends were to <\/p>\n

872
\n00:59:25,400 –> 00:59:28,700
\nask the father and his name for
\nthe things which will enable <\/p>\n

873
\n00:59:28,700 –> 00:59:31,900
\nthem to be fruit bearers.
\nBecause they are his friends <\/p>\n

874
\n00:59:32,700 –> 00:59:35,400
\nthat is drawing from the vine
\nthe forces which make for <\/p>\n

875
\n00:59:35,400 –> 00:59:39,900
\nFruitful fruitfulness and he
\nwouldn’t deceive his friends <\/p>\n

876
\n00:59:39,900 –> 00:59:44,000
\nnow, Woody, let’s be honest, if
\nit isn’t true that we’ve been <\/p>\n

877
\n00:59:44,000 –> 00:59:45,800
\ngrossly deceived, if it isn’t
\ntrue. <\/p>\n

878
\n00:59:45,800 –> 00:59:49,400
\nSome part of that Bible is false
\nbut we’ve come tonight under the<\/p>\n

879
\n00:59:49,400 –> 00:59:52,500
\nMystic influence of the truth
\nbecause we believe in our <\/p>\n

880
\n00:59:52,500 –> 00:59:56,200
\ndeepest heart, he was telling us
\nthe truth and he would Not <\/p>\n

881
\n00:59:56,200 –> 00:59:58,900
\ndeceive his friends.
\nFruit bearing is not magic. <\/p>\n

882
\n00:59:59,100 –> 01:00:01,600
\nIt presupposes.
\nLife it indicates, Grove it <\/p>\n

883
\n01:00:01,600 –> 01:00:04,500
\ndemands, cultivation.
\nIt comes essentially from the <\/p>\n

884
\n01:00:04,500 –> 01:00:08,100
\nword of God, that is no great,
\nshaft of light from Heaven, into<\/p>\n

885
\n01:00:08,100 –> 01:00:11,900
\nyour heart, or mine, apart from
\nthis, holy word of God. <\/p>\n

886
\n01:00:12,600 –> 01:00:16,300
\nIt comes from our understanding
\nand the conviction of that the <\/p>\n

887
\n01:00:16,300 –> 01:00:20,100
\nchanging of our Consciousness.
\nSo that we become fruitful <\/p>\n

888
\n01:00:20,100 –> 01:00:21,600
\npeople.
\nIt comes from Commerce with <\/p>\n

889
\n01:00:21,600 –> 01:00:23,100
\nhaving through the power of
\nprayer. <\/p>\n

890
\n01:00:23,300 –> 01:00:25,800
\nIt comes from The Fellowship of
\nthe Ecclesia. <\/p>\n

891
\n01:00:26,100 –> 01:00:28,800
\nAnd the effect of the brothers
\nand sisters Upon Our Lives. <\/p>\n

892
\n01:00:28,800 –> 01:00:32,700
\nAll these things bring forces to
\nBear upon us, which make us <\/p>\n

893
\n01:00:32,700 –> 01:00:37,200
\nfruitful the tender gracious
\nworth of the vinedresser upon <\/p>\n

894
\n01:00:37,200 –> 01:00:39,900
\nsuch as are his friends and
\nalways his servants. <\/p>\n

895
\n01:00:40,500 –> 01:00:45,300
\nThat is upon those who have with
\nhim, all things common and with <\/p>\n

896
\n01:00:45,300 –> 01:00:47,600
\nhim, not only with him but with
\nthemselves. <\/p>\n

897
\n01:00:49,700 –> 01:00:52,800
\nI’ve only two little references,
\ncannot go on for three minutes <\/p>\n

898
\n01:00:53,200 –> 01:00:57,500
\nto little references to leave
\nyou with which may interest. <\/p>\n

899
\n01:00:57,500 –> 01:01:02,800
\nYou, you can think about them.
\nWe’re thinking about not doing <\/p>\n

900
\n01:01:02,800 –> 01:01:08,200
\nthings fruitfully for Love’s
\nsake, for the sake of others. <\/p>\n

901
\n01:01:09,000 –> 01:01:11,400
\nI’m going to take you back a
\nlong way now to the tenth <\/p>\n

902
\n01:01:11,400 –> 01:01:17,200
\nchapter of numbers, I wonder if
\nyou’ve ever pondered this man <\/p>\n

903
\n01:01:17,200 –> 01:01:25,000
\nbefore I expect you have but of
\ncourse you have how bad? <\/p>\n

904
\n01:01:28,900 –> 01:01:34,300
\nHow bad?
\nNumbers Kent. <\/p>\n

905
\n01:01:36,900 –> 01:01:42,700
\nAn interesting case.
\nVerse 29. <\/p>\n

906
\n01:01:45,700 –> 01:01:49,300
\nAnd Moses said unto her o baba,
\nsome of who L the midianite, <\/p>\n

907
\n01:01:49,300 –> 01:01:53,800
\nMoses father-in-law, we are
\njunior until the place of which <\/p>\n

908
\n01:01:53,800 –> 01:01:56,200
\nthe Lord said, I will give it to
\nyou. <\/p>\n

909
\n01:01:57,400 –> 01:02:00,500
\nCome there with us and we will
\ndo the good for the Lord hath <\/p>\n

910
\n01:02:00,500 –> 01:02:02,300
\nspoken.
\nGood concerning Israel. <\/p>\n

911
\n01:02:04,400 –> 01:02:09,400
\nAnd ho, Bob said unto Moses, I
\nwill not go, but I will depart <\/p>\n

912
\n01:02:09,400 –> 01:02:16,200
\nto my own land and to my kindred
\nMoses said, leave us not. <\/p>\n

913
\n01:02:16,200 –> 01:02:20,400
\nI pray thee for as much as thou,
\nknowest, how we are to encamp in<\/p>\n

914
\n01:02:20,400 –> 01:02:24,900
\nthe wilderness and thou shalt be
\nto us instead of eyes and it’s <\/p>\n

915
\n01:02:24,900 –> 01:02:27,200
\nwill be, if I go with us, J, it
\nwill be that. <\/p>\n

916
\n01:02:27,500 –> 01:02:30,300
\nWhat, Good’s, wherever the Lord
\nshall do unto us the same, will <\/p>\n

917
\n01:02:30,300 –> 01:02:32,800
\nhe do unto thee?
\nAnd they set forward from the <\/p>\n

918
\n01:02:32,800 –> 01:02:36,300
\nMount of the Lord, 3j’s Day’s
\nJourney, Etc. <\/p>\n

919
\n01:02:36,600 –> 01:02:40,600
\nAnd that’s an interesting case,
\nMoses said to her by brocco Bob <\/p>\n

920
\n01:02:40,600 –> 01:02:42,500
\ngo with us and we will do thee
\ngood. <\/p>\n

921
\n01:02:43,100 –> 01:02:46,400
\nWe will do thee good.
\nI’m old. <\/p>\n

922
\n01:02:46,500 –> 01:02:48,400
\nHow bad was?
\nWe’ve met? <\/p>\n

923
\n01:02:48,400 –> 01:02:50,600
\nWho had said something we
\nhaven’t? <\/p>\n

924
\n01:02:50,600 –> 01:02:55,800
\nWe met hold up since those
\nindependent characters and he <\/p>\n

925
\n01:02:55,800 –> 01:02:59,100
\nwas one of those, an independent
\ncharacter and he replied to <\/p>\n

926
\n01:02:59,100 –> 01:03:00,900
\nMoses in effect.
\nNo, thanks of Moses. <\/p>\n

927
\n01:03:01,400 –> 01:03:04,200
\nI do not care to go with you.
\nI will do my own way. <\/p>\n

928
\n01:03:06,300 –> 01:03:10,400
\nAnd then those, he said, hello,
\nBob, come with us and thou shalt<\/p>\n

929
\n01:03:10,400 –> 01:03:13,700
\nbe to us instead of eyes.
\nNow, here’s an interesting <\/p>\n

930
\n01:03:13,700 –> 01:03:18,200
\nthing, how bad would not go in
\nresponse to the excitation that <\/p>\n

931
\n01:03:18,200 –> 01:03:21,800
\nit would be to his own advantage
\nto go or be for his own benefit.<\/p>\n

932
\n01:03:22,100 –> 01:03:25,100
\nBut when he realized that his
\ngoing would be for the benefit <\/p>\n

933
\n01:03:25,100 –> 01:03:29,300
\nof others that is for the common
\ngood for the Commonwealth. <\/p>\n

934
\n01:03:29,600 –> 01:03:34,500
\nWhen he realized that he can do
\ngood for some of the Soul, he <\/p>\n

935
\n01:03:34,500 –> 01:03:43,300
\nwent and did his duty.
\nAnd then the last thing I wanted<\/p>\n

936
\n01:03:43,300 –> 01:03:45,400
\nto say to you is this and I
\npromise you. <\/p>\n

937
\n01:03:45,400 –> 01:03:53,600
\nIt is the last We noticed
\nalready from verses 15 and 16 <\/p>\n

938
\n01:03:53,600 –> 01:03:57,400
\nthat the final and the ultimate
\npurpose of this friendship is <\/p>\n

939
\n01:03:57,400 –> 01:04:05,500
\nflute Bay and it means that the
\nKings next of kin in a sense, <\/p>\n

940
\n01:04:05,800 –> 01:04:10,200
\ntake on the identity of the
\nKings, man, we’ve ever said this<\/p>\n

941
\n01:04:10,200 –> 01:04:13,500
\nalready.
\nPaul said Christ, liveth in me, <\/p>\n

942
\n01:04:13,500 –> 01:04:18,800
\nmeans that, in some sense Paul
\nwas taking on the life and the <\/p>\n

943
\n01:04:19,100 –> 01:04:22,200
\nEntity of of his Lord and his
\nmaster and his King. <\/p>\n

944
\n01:04:22,700 –> 01:04:25,900
\nAnd I say it means therefore
\nthat his next of kin take on the<\/p>\n

945
\n01:04:25,900 –> 01:04:29,900
\nidentity of the king’s man, the
\nfruit bearing friends of Jesus <\/p>\n

946
\n01:04:29,900 –> 01:04:34,500
\nbecome like him.
\nIt means that the Life of Christ<\/p>\n

947
\n01:04:34,500 –> 01:04:36,900
\nin some senses being repeated in
\nthem. <\/p>\n

948
\n01:04:39,200 –> 01:04:40,800
\nI just want to tell you a little
\nstory. <\/p>\n

949
\n01:04:40,800 –> 01:04:46,200
\nThat’s all I heard it.
\nNot long ago about a lady of <\/p>\n

950
\n01:04:46,200 –> 01:04:52,700
\nwent This won’t impinge on any
\nof the truth or went to find <\/p>\n

951
\n01:04:52,700 –> 01:04:56,300

\nbut they didn’t know anything <\/p>\n

953
\n01:05:00,000 –> 01:05:06,800
\nabout this word of God.
\nEducated people able to read but<\/p>\n

954
\n01:05:06,800 –> 01:05:11,400
\nthey didn’t know anything about
\nthis and she dealt with them and<\/p>\n

955
\n01:05:11,400 –> 01:05:14,600
\nwound up.
\nShe took out her Bible in the <\/p>\n

956
\n01:05:14,600 –> 01:05:19,200

\nlie.
\nThe Life of Christ emerge from <\/p>\n

960
\n01:05:35,100 –> 01:05:41,600
\nthe pages.
\nHis compassion is justice. <\/p>\n

961
\n01:05:43,000 –> 01:05:49,800
\nHis kindness, the money was
\nemerged as she read and there <\/p>\n

962
