00:00:47,800<br \/>\nThis class is one that was given<br \/>\nby Brother Phil Link at the 2017<\/p>\n<p>10<br \/>\n00:00:47,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:00:51,000<br \/>\nIowa Bible School.<br \/>\nThe entire series is called <\/p>\n<p>11<br \/>\n00:00:51,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:00:54,600<br \/>\nportraits of the master and the<br \/>\nin this 1st Class brother Bill <\/p>\n<p>12<br \/>\n00:00:54,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:00:58,500<br \/>\nis outlining the idea behind the<br \/>\ndifferent portraits that he&#8217;s <\/p>\n<p>13<br \/>\n00:00:58,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:02,600<br \/>\nlooking at basically the idea of<br \/>\ntrying to make Jesus as real to <\/p>\n<p>14<br \/>\n00:01:02,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:05,400<br \/>\nus as possible.<br \/>\nHe starts his class by talking <\/p>\n<p>15<br \/>\n00:01:05,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:08,300<br \/>\nabout his father who had passed<br \/>\naway a few years before and <\/p>\n<p>16<br \/>\n00:01:08,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:11,100<br \/>\ntalked about specifically the<br \/>\nhands of his father. <\/p>\n<p>17<br \/>\n00:01:11,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:16,100<br \/>\nHis father was a Craftsman who<br \/>\nworked with With wood and in <\/p>\n<p>18<br \/>\n00:01:16,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:19,300<br \/>\nthis first class he&#8217;s talking<br \/>\nabout Jesus hand. <\/p>\n<p>19<br \/>\n00:01:19,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:24,900<br \/>\nSo he&#8217;s using his kind of the<br \/>\ncharacteristics where he could <\/p>\n<p>20<br \/>\n00:01:24,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:28,800<br \/>\npicture his dad&#8217;s hands and<br \/>\npicture his father and knew him.<\/p>\n<p>21<br \/>\n00:01:28,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:32,900<br \/>\nSo well that if he was to walk<br \/>\nup and you know, he was to know <\/p>\n<p>22<br \/>\n00:01:32,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:35,400<br \/>\nthat the resurrection had<br \/>\nhappened that he would he would <\/p>\n<p>23<br \/>\n00:01:35,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:39,800<br \/>\nimmediately know it was his<br \/>\nfather and the idea behind this <\/p>\n<p>24<br \/>\n00:01:39,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:43,800<br \/>\nseries and the study that he&#8217;s<br \/>\ndone in these classes and is to <\/p>\n<p>25<br \/>\n00:01:46,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:52,000<br \/>\nDeveloping ourselves that same<br \/>\nfamiliarity with Jesus so that <\/p>\n<p>26<br \/>\n00:01:53,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:55,900<br \/>\nyou know, we can picture him and<br \/>\npicture what he did and how he <\/p>\n<p>27<br \/>\n00:01:55,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:01:58,700<br \/>\nlived his life and the<br \/>\ncharacteristics that he <\/p>\n<p>28<br \/>\n00:01:58,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:02,100<br \/>\ndemonstrated that we&#8217;re all<br \/>\ntrying to develop in ourselves. <\/p>\n<p>29<br \/>\n00:02:02,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:07,400<br \/>\nI remember hearing brother bills<br \/>\nclass at Idlewild live and I <\/p>\n<p>30<br \/>\n00:02:07,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:11,000<br \/>\nremember it was probably my<br \/>\nthink one of my favorites for <\/p>\n<p>31<br \/>\n00:02:11,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:15,000<br \/>\nthat year if I remember<br \/>\ncorrectly and he was the third. <\/p>\n<p>32<br \/>\n00:02:15,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:17,200<br \/>\nLast which is always a little<br \/>\nbit of a challenge out of work <\/p>\n<p>33<br \/>\n00:02:17,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:18,600<br \/>\nsince the last class before<br \/>\nlunch. <\/p>\n<p>34<br \/>\n00:02:18,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:22,300<br \/>\nSo people are starting to get a<br \/>\nlittle tired and everybody. <\/p>\n<p>35<br \/>\n00:02:22,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:23,800<br \/>\nI remember really really<br \/>\nenjoying this one. <\/p>\n<p>36<br \/>\n00:02:23,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:26,600<br \/>\nSo the the entire series is a<br \/>\ngreat. <\/p>\n<p>37<br \/>\n00:02:26,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:28,900<br \/>\nListen.<br \/>\nThis first one is just talking <\/p>\n<p>38<br \/>\n00:02:28,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:32,600<br \/>\nabout the hands of Jesus and he<br \/>\ngoes on to look at the Jesus <\/p>\n<p>39<br \/>\n00:02:32,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:35,400<br \/>\nvoice and different<br \/>\ncharacteristics throughout all <\/p>\n<p>40<br \/>\n00:02:35,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:39,000<br \/>\nof it highly recommending will<br \/>\nbe making sure to get the the <\/p>\n<p>41<br \/>\n00:02:39,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:43,900<br \/>\nentire series on the extended<br \/>\npodcast if you want to give the <\/p>\n<p>42<br \/>\n00:02:43,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:47,000<br \/>\nwhole class to listen, I&#8217;d<br \/>\nencourage you to do so. <\/p>\n<p>43<br \/>\n00:02:48,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:49,600<br \/>\nSo with that.<br \/>\nWe&#8217;ll turn it over to our <\/p>\n<p>44<br \/>\n00:02:49,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:53,700<br \/>\nbrother Bill link for his class<br \/>\nfrom the portraits of the master<\/p>\n<p>45<br \/>\n00:02:53,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:02:56,800<br \/>\non the Masters hands.<br \/>\nGood morning brothers and <\/p>\n<p>46<br \/>\n00:02:56,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:07,800<br \/>\nsisters these classes. our about<br \/>\nknowing Jesus not just knowing <\/p>\n<p>47<br \/>\n00:03:07,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:12,700<br \/>\nabout him, but knowing him<br \/>\nknowing him personally. <\/p>\n<p>48<br \/>\n00:03:14,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:18,200<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s something that I&#8217;ve given<br \/>\nsome thought to in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>49<br \/>\n00:03:19,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:24,600<br \/>\nI think maybe in avoiding<br \/>\nEvangelical excesses to donate <\/p>\n<p>50<br \/>\n00:03:24,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:30,300<br \/>\nthe name that I might have<br \/>\nworshipped Around Jesus. <\/p>\n<p>51<br \/>\n00:03:30,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:34,900<br \/>\nJesus might have been an<br \/>\nintellectual concept rather than<\/p>\n<p>52<br \/>\n00:03:34,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:38,300<br \/>\na person.<br \/>\nAnd I&#8217;ve been thinking about it <\/p>\n<p>53<br \/>\n00:03:38,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:42,800<br \/>\na lot.<br \/>\nAnd I want to know Jesus. <\/p>\n<p>54<br \/>\n00:03:42,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:49,400<br \/>\nI want to recognize him.<br \/>\nHe said this is life eternal to <\/p>\n<p>55<br \/>\n00:03:49,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:53,500<br \/>\nKnow Thee the only true God and<br \/>\nJesus Christ whom thou Hast sent<\/p>\n<p>56<br \/>\n00:03:54,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:03:59,400<br \/>\nand you remember when he talks<br \/>\nabout his sheep hear his voice <\/p>\n<p>57<br \/>\n00:03:59,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:03,500<br \/>\nand they know his voice and they<br \/>\nwon&#8217;t follow someone else&#8217;s <\/p>\n<p>58<br \/>\n00:04:03,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:05,500<br \/>\nvoice because they don&#8217;t<br \/>\nrecognize him. <\/p>\n<p>59<br \/>\n00:04:06,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:09,800<br \/>\nWe&#8217;ve got to recognize Jesus<br \/>\nvoice and follow him. <\/p>\n<p>60<br \/>\n00:04:10,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:15,200<br \/>\nWe want to know him that well.<br \/>\nI was thinking about that and <\/p>\n<p>61<br \/>\n00:04:17,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:22,600<br \/>\nknowing Jesus and I got to<br \/>\nthinking about my dad who dead <\/p>\n<p>62<br \/>\n00:04:23,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:31,200<br \/>\nthat died eight years ago and I<br \/>\nknew my dad so well, I <\/p>\n<p>63<br \/>\n00:04:31,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:35,400<br \/>\nparticular his hands.<br \/>\nHe had the big thick hands of a <\/p>\n<p>64<br \/>\n00:04:35,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:37,700<br \/>\nCraftsman and I can still see<br \/>\nthem. <\/p>\n<p>65<br \/>\n00:04:38,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:42,200<br \/>\nI wonder if that&#8217;s a way for you<br \/>\nwith some of you may be lost <\/p>\n<p>66<br \/>\n00:04:42,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:45,100<br \/>\nyour father or mother.<br \/>\nIf you can still see their hands<\/p>\n<p>67<br \/>\n00:04:45,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:48,500<br \/>\na guy at work told me that he<br \/>\ncould still feel the weight of <\/p>\n<p>68<br \/>\n00:04:48,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:50,300<br \/>\nhis father&#8217;s hand on his<br \/>\nshoulder. <\/p>\n<p>69<br \/>\n00:04:54,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:04:59,400<br \/>\nI remember as a kid sitting in<br \/>\nhis workshop and he had a way of<\/p>\n<p>70<br \/>\n00:04:59,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:02,800<br \/>\ncutting wood that he&#8217;d push the<br \/>\nthing towards the blade and at <\/p>\n<p>71<br \/>\n00:05:02,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:06,100<br \/>\nthe last minute he lifts his<br \/>\nthumbs up and his he had shaky <\/p>\n<p>72<br \/>\n00:05:06,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:11,400<br \/>\nhands and it used to always<br \/>\nscare the life out of me, but I <\/p>\n<p>73<br \/>\n00:05:11,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:16,900<br \/>\ncan remember my dad&#8217;s hand.<br \/>\nSo well, hey that was a simple <\/p>\n<p>74<br \/>\n00:05:16,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:19,700<br \/>\nman and and uncomplicated.<br \/>\nI don&#8217;t know if many of you <\/p>\n<p>75<br \/>\n00:05:19,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:22,900<br \/>\nwould have known him.<br \/>\nHe he was generally a man of few<\/p>\n<p>76<br \/>\n00:05:22,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:28,000<br \/>\nwords, but he had a great way of<br \/>\ntorturing sayings. <\/p>\n<p>77<br \/>\n00:05:31,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:34,700<br \/>\nWhen time after a business<br \/>\nmeeting stepped outside mean he <\/p>\n<p>78<br \/>\n00:05:34,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:37,300<br \/>\nsays that brother really gets<br \/>\nunder my goat. <\/p>\n<p>79<br \/>\n00:05:42,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:44,500<br \/>\nOr he&#8217;d say that&#8217;s all would are<br \/>\nover the bridge. <\/p>\n<p>80<br \/>\n00:05:46,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:50,100<br \/>\nAnd at one time he had a pet<br \/>\ngoldfish that they said was on <\/p>\n<p>81<br \/>\n00:05:50,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:05:56,100<br \/>\nits last legs and then my<br \/>\nfavorite I think it was he said <\/p>\n<p>82<br \/>\n00:05:56,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:00,700<br \/>\nnever look back never look a<br \/>\ngift horse in the eye and I <\/p>\n<p>83<br \/>\n00:06:00,707 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:03,700<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t know what the danger that<br \/>\nis, but apparently you shouldn&#8217;t<\/p>\n<p>84<br \/>\n00:06:03,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:08,500<br \/>\ndo that.<br \/>\nLike I said, I my dad always had<\/p>\n<p>85<br \/>\n00:06:08,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:11,800<br \/>\na bit of a Tremor in his hands<br \/>\ntoo and I can I can still see <\/p>\n<p>86<br \/>\n00:06:11,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:17,000<br \/>\nthat when I&#8217;m nervous speaking.<br \/>\nHe would be nervous the Tremor <\/p>\n<p>87<br \/>\n00:06:17,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:19,700<br \/>\ngot worse.<br \/>\nHe said it started when he was a<\/p>\n<p>88<br \/>\n00:06:19,707 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:24,000<br \/>\nconscientious objector in World<br \/>\nWar II and was given alternative<\/p>\n<p>89<br \/>\n00:06:24,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:28,700<br \/>\nservice of working in a violent<br \/>\nword of a mental institution. <\/p>\n<p>90<br \/>\n00:06:31,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:35,600<br \/>\nAnyway, I had a dream about my<br \/>\ndad not too awful long ago. <\/p>\n<p>91<br \/>\n00:06:37,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:41,100<br \/>\nI was up front of the house in<br \/>\nmy dream splitting wood and here<\/p>\n<p>92<br \/>\n00:06:41,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:42,800<br \/>\ncomes my dad walking up the<br \/>\ndriveway. <\/p>\n<p>93<br \/>\n00:06:45,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:50,600<br \/>\nAnd I said your back and he just<br \/>\nlooked at me with that big <\/p>\n<p>94<br \/>\n00:06:50,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:06:54,300<br \/>\ngentle smile of his and he said<br \/>\nI&#8217;m back. <\/p>\n<p>95<br \/>\n00:06:56,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:01,200<br \/>\nAnd I woke up.<br \/>\nI could almost imagine that <\/p>\n<p>96<br \/>\n00:07:01,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:04,400<br \/>\nmight be what it that could even<br \/>\nbe what happens because it says <\/p>\n<p>97<br \/>\n00:07:04,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:10,200<br \/>\nthat the Lord will send his<br \/>\nangels his Messengers and Paul <\/p>\n<p>98<br \/>\n00:07:10,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:13,300<br \/>\ntells us in Timothy the dead in<br \/>\nChrist shall rise first. <\/p>\n<p>99<br \/>\n00:07:14,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:17,500<br \/>\nSo if my dad did come up walk up<br \/>\nthe driveway, I would know the <\/p>\n<p>100<br \/>\n00:07:17,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:20,800<br \/>\nresurrection would happen and I<br \/>\nwould recognize my dad and I&#8217;d <\/p>\n<p>101<br \/>\n00:07:20,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:23,700<br \/>\nrecognize those great big gentle<br \/>\nhands of his. <\/p>\n<p>102<br \/>\n00:07:26,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:29,300<br \/>\nI want to know the Lord Jesus<br \/>\nthat well. <\/p>\n<p>103<br \/>\n00:07:31,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:36,400<br \/>\nAnd I think we all do and it&#8217;s<br \/>\nnot just knowing about him but <\/p>\n<p>104<br \/>\n00:07:36,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:41,300<br \/>\nhaving a sense of him as a real<br \/>\nperson and not only a real <\/p>\n<p>105<br \/>\n00:07:41,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:47,500<br \/>\nperson who lived.<br \/>\nWhere we&#8217;ll live that as a man <\/p>\n<p>106<br \/>\n00:07:47,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:53,000<br \/>\nwho is alive and aware and<br \/>\nactive in our lives now. <\/p>\n<p>107<br \/>\n00:07:54,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:07:58,000<br \/>\nSo my goal this week is to<br \/>\nencourage us to think about what<\/p>\n<p>108<br \/>\n00:07:58,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:03,800<br \/>\nit means to know Jesus and to<br \/>\nrecognize his voice and to know <\/p>\n<p>109<br \/>\n00:08:03,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:09,200<br \/>\nwhat&#8217;s not his voice.<br \/>\nI want to encourage meditation <\/p>\n<p>110<br \/>\n00:08:09,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:13,800<br \/>\non the person of the Lord Jesus<br \/>\nand will be guided by some <\/p>\n<p>111<br \/>\n00:08:13,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:17,400<br \/>\nportraits of the master that are<br \/>\ngiven in the gospels. <\/p>\n<p>112<br \/>\n00:08:18,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:21,900<br \/>\nSo just a good starting point,<br \/>\neven though it&#8217;s familiar to us <\/p>\n<p>113<br \/>\n00:08:22,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:27,400<br \/>\nPhilippians chapter 3.<br \/>\nPaul wrote Philippians from a <\/p>\n<p>114<br \/>\n00:08:27,407 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:32,000<br \/>\nRoman jail all of the events of<br \/>\nthe book of Acts are behind him <\/p>\n<p>115<br \/>\n00:08:32,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:34,500<br \/>\nand it&#8217;s thought that second<br \/>\nCorinthians is behind him. <\/p>\n<p>116<br \/>\n00:08:34,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:37,799<br \/>\nSo that that list of things we<br \/>\nmentioned in chapter 11 of <\/p>\n<p>117<br \/>\n00:08:37,799 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:43,600<br \/>\nsecond Corinthians where all he<br \/>\nhad been through as an apostle. <\/p>\n<p>118<br \/>\n00:08:47,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:51,800<br \/>\nHe come to Philippians chapter 3<br \/>\nand Paul talks about how <\/p>\n<p>119<br \/>\n00:08:51,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:55,000<br \/>\nearnestly he wants to know<br \/>\nJesus. <\/p>\n<p>120<br \/>\n00:08:55,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:08:58,300<br \/>\nAnd you could think you could<br \/>\nthink surely at this point in <\/p>\n<p>121<br \/>\n00:08:58,308 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:01,300<br \/>\nhis life Paul could claim to<br \/>\nknow Jesus. <\/p>\n<p>122<br \/>\n00:09:01,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:05,700<br \/>\nHe&#8217;d seen Jesus that marvelous<br \/>\nvision. <\/p>\n<p>123<br \/>\n00:09:06,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:13,600<br \/>\nRight, but he said it was his<br \/>\ndesire the thing he was pressing<\/p>\n<p>124<br \/>\n00:09:13,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:22,200<br \/>\ntoo hard. to know Jesus<br \/>\nPhilippians chapter 3 he&#8217;s <\/p>\n<p>125<br \/>\n00:09:22,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:25,700<br \/>\nspeaking about having confidence<br \/>\nin the flesh and it&#8217;s very <\/p>\n<p>126<br \/>\n00:09:25,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:29,000<br \/>\nintriguing to read what the<br \/>\nthings he counts as confidence <\/p>\n<p>127<br \/>\n00:09:29,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:33,600<br \/>\nin the flesh are it&#8217;s not the<br \/>\nbig bank account. <\/p>\n<p>128<br \/>\n00:09:34,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:38,700<br \/>\nYou know, it&#8217;s not a big house<br \/>\nand all possessions and things <\/p>\n<p>129<br \/>\n00:09:38,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:41,500<br \/>\nlike that that if we were saying<br \/>\nhaving confidence in the flesh <\/p>\n<p>130<br \/>\n00:09:41,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:43,200<br \/>\nthat might be what we think<br \/>\nabout. <\/p>\n<p>131<br \/>\n00:09:44,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:48,800<br \/>\nBut instead the things that he<br \/>\ncalls confidence in the flesh is<\/p>\n<p>132<br \/>\n00:09:48,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:09:54,100<br \/>\nsort of the religious trappings<br \/>\nthat people would respect you <\/p>\n<p>133<br \/>\n00:09:54,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:00,100<br \/>\nfor the outward show religion.<br \/>\nHe says verse for though. <\/p>\n<p>134<br \/>\n00:10:00,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:02,000<br \/>\nI might also have confidence in<br \/>\nthe flesh. <\/p>\n<p>135<br \/>\n00:10:02,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:05,400<br \/>\nIf any other man think that he<br \/>\nhath whereof he might Trust In <\/p>\n<p>136<br \/>\n00:10:05,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:09,700<br \/>\nthe Flesh.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m or circumcised The Eighth <\/p>\n<p>137<br \/>\n00:10:09,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:13,400<br \/>\nDay of the stock of Israel of<br \/>\nThe Tribe of Benjamin an Hebrew <\/p>\n<p>138<br \/>\n00:10:13,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:17,900<br \/>\nof the Hebrews as touching the<br \/>\nlaw a Pharisee concerning Zeal <\/p>\n<p>139<br \/>\n00:10:17,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:21,800<br \/>\npersecuting the Ecclesia.<br \/>\nHe could he had all the Bona <\/p>\n<p>140<br \/>\n00:10:21,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:26,400<br \/>\nfides that people could look at<br \/>\nPaul and say that is a very <\/p>\n<p>141<br \/>\n00:10:26,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:28,700<br \/>\nreligious man.<br \/>\nHe&#8217;s stripped. <\/p>\n<p>142<br \/>\n00:10:28,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:31,500<br \/>\nSleep religious.<br \/>\nHe&#8217;s a righteous man. <\/p>\n<p>143<br \/>\n00:10:33,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:36,900<br \/>\nAnd Paul says this is having<br \/>\nconfidence in the flesh. <\/p>\n<p>144<br \/>\n00:10:41,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:45,900<br \/>\nVerse 7, but what things were<br \/>\ngain to me those I counted loss <\/p>\n<p>145<br \/>\n00:10:45,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:49,800<br \/>\nfor Christ.<br \/>\nYay doubtless and I count all <\/p>\n<p>146<br \/>\n00:10:49,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:54,300<br \/>\nthings but loss for the<br \/>\nExcellency of the knowledge of <\/p>\n<p>147<br \/>\n00:10:54,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:10:58,300<br \/>\nChrist Jesus my Lord for whom I<br \/>\nhave suffered the loss of all <\/p>\n<p>148<br \/>\n00:10:58,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:03,600<br \/>\nthings and do count them, but<br \/>\ndung that I may win Christ and <\/p>\n<p>149<br \/>\n00:11:03,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:06,900<br \/>\nbe found in him.<br \/>\nNot having mine own <\/p>\n<p>150<br \/>\n00:11:06,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:08,700<br \/>\nrighteousness, which is of the<br \/>\nlaw. <\/p>\n<p>151<br \/>\n00:11:09,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:11,400<br \/>\nBut that which is through the<br \/>\nFaith of Christ the <\/p>\n<p>152<br \/>\n00:11:11,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:17,700<br \/>\nrighteousness, which is of god<br \/>\nby faith that I may know him and<\/p>\n<p>153<br \/>\n00:11:17,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:21,100<br \/>\nthe power of his resurrection<br \/>\nand the fellowship of his <\/p>\n<p>154<br \/>\n00:11:21,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:25,900<br \/>\nsufferings being made<br \/>\nconformable unto his death, you <\/p>\n<p>155<br \/>\n00:11:25,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:28,400<br \/>\nknow, we think about Romans<br \/>\nchapter 6 that we always have <\/p>\n<p>156<br \/>\n00:11:28,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:31,000<br \/>\nread at our baptisms and we<br \/>\ntalked about a burial with <\/p>\n<p>157<br \/>\n00:11:31,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:36,600<br \/>\nChrist and a raising to New Life<br \/>\nthat as Christ in his Direction <\/p>\n<p>158<br \/>\n00:11:36,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:40,500<br \/>\nwas now free from sin the power<br \/>\nof his resurrection. <\/p>\n<p>159<br \/>\n00:11:40,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:44,300<br \/>\nPaul says I want to be made<br \/>\nconformable to his death and <\/p>\n<p>160<br \/>\n00:11:44,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:48,800<br \/>\nwent to know him.<br \/>\nSo that&#8217;s what we want to do. <\/p>\n<p>161<br \/>\n00:11:48,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:51,800<br \/>\nNow.<br \/>\nI started off with some <\/p>\n<p>162<br \/>\n00:11:51,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:56,900<br \/>\nRecollections of my dad that<br \/>\nwere prompted by the the clarity<\/p>\n<p>163<br \/>\n00:11:56,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:11:59,100<br \/>\nof the mental image.<br \/>\nI have of my dad. <\/p>\n<p>164<br \/>\n00:12:00,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:04,200<br \/>\nMy dad&#8217;s hands.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s interesting when we spent <\/p>\n<p>165<br \/>\n00:12:04,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:08,000<br \/>\nthe other night that Jason<br \/>\nRichards house and they had <\/p>\n<p>166<br \/>\n00:12:08,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:13,500<br \/>\npictures of oh brother Peggy<br \/>\nmaking nachi. <\/p>\n<p>167<br \/>\n00:12:14,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:17,900<br \/>\nThey&#8217;re all is a collage of<br \/>\npictures with his hands and I <\/p>\n<p>168<br \/>\n00:12:17,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:20,700<br \/>\nbet you a lot of you can<br \/>\nremember those hands. <\/p>\n<p>169<br \/>\n00:12:22,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:26,600<br \/>\nWe don&#8217;t know what Jesus hands<br \/>\nlooked like, but our attention <\/p>\n<p>170<br \/>\n00:12:26,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:29,800<br \/>\nis drawn to them repeatedly in<br \/>\nthe gospels and interestingly. <\/p>\n<p>171<br \/>\n00:12:30,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:33,100<br \/>\nMost especially in the gospel of<br \/>\nMatthew. <\/p>\n<p>172<br \/>\n00:12:33,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:36,100<br \/>\nI&#8217;m going to point out some<br \/>\npassages today. <\/p>\n<p>173<br \/>\n00:12:36,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:40,900<br \/>\nWe&#8217;re Matthew for some reason<br \/>\nparticularly draws our attention<\/p>\n<p>174<br \/>\n00:12:41,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:46,800<br \/>\nto Jesus hands.<br \/>\nSo let&#8217;s start off in Matthew <\/p>\n<p>175<br \/>\n00:12:46,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:52,000<br \/>\nchapter 8.<br \/>\nBy the way to do many of you <\/p>\n<p>176<br \/>\n00:12:52,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:55,100<br \/>\nhave the Eastward available to<br \/>\nyou. <\/p>\n<p>177<br \/>\n00:12:55,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:12:59,800<br \/>\nI for Bible study marvelous<br \/>\nmarvelous resource. <\/p>\n<p>178<br \/>\n00:13:00,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:03,800<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s free electronic Bible that<br \/>\nyou can put on your computer or <\/p>\n<p>179<br \/>\n00:13:03,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:05,900<br \/>\nyour iPad.<br \/>\nIf you have it, I really <\/p>\n<p>180<br \/>\n00:13:05,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:08,400<br \/>\nrecommend it.<br \/>\nOne of the nice things that has <\/p>\n<p>181<br \/>\n00:13:08,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:12,700<br \/>\nas a Harmony of the gospels that<br \/>\nyou can you can open up and look<\/p>\n<p>182<br \/>\n00:13:12,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:15,600<br \/>\nat Harmony of the gospels and<br \/>\nwhen you lay them out side by <\/p>\n<p>183<br \/>\n00:13:15,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:19,700<br \/>\nside, it is remarkable to see<br \/>\nthe differences. <\/p>\n<p>184<br \/>\n00:13:19,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:22,500<br \/>\nShe go through a series of<br \/>\nevents in the different gospels <\/p>\n<p>185<br \/>\n00:13:22,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:25,000<br \/>\nhow they&#8217;re reported just<br \/>\nslightly differently. <\/p>\n<p>186<br \/>\n00:13:25,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:28,000<br \/>\nAnd like I said in preparing<br \/>\nthese classes. <\/p>\n<p>187<br \/>\n00:13:28,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:33,200<br \/>\nIt really caught my eye that<br \/>\nit&#8217;s Matthew who says things <\/p>\n<p>188<br \/>\n00:13:33,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:36,400<br \/>\nabout Jesus hands and they&#8217;re<br \/>\nkind of incidental things that <\/p>\n<p>189<br \/>\n00:13:36,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:40,300<br \/>\nmaybe you wouldn&#8217;t need for the<br \/>\nstory to be complete. <\/p>\n<p>190<br \/>\n00:13:40,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:44,200<br \/>\nSo Matthew 8 vs 1 2 3.<br \/>\nJesus is coming down from the <\/p>\n<p>191<br \/>\n00:13:44,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:48,100<br \/>\nfrom the sermon on the mountain<br \/>\nand great multitudes followed <\/p>\n<p>192<br \/>\n00:13:48,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:51,200<br \/>\nhim.<br \/>\nAnd behold there came a leper <\/p>\n<p>193<br \/>\n00:13:51,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:55,600<br \/>\nand worshipped him saying Lord.<br \/>\nIf thou wilt thou canst make me <\/p>\n<p>194<br \/>\n00:13:55,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:57,300<br \/>\nclean.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m going to talk more about <\/p>\n<p>195<br \/>\n00:13:57,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:13:59,000<br \/>\nthis episode later on in the<br \/>\nweek. <\/p>\n<p>196<br \/>\n00:13:59,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:05,100<br \/>\nBut just to get the sense the<br \/>\ncrowd of people so many times <\/p>\n<p>197<br \/>\n00:14:05,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:09,300<br \/>\nJesus we see him in a crowd of<br \/>\npeople and there&#8217;s a leper who <\/p>\n<p>198<br \/>\n00:14:09,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:13,900<br \/>\ndoesn&#8217;t belong there.<br \/>\nHe&#8217;s coming, you know, he&#8217;s <\/p>\n<p>199<br \/>\n00:14:13,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:17,300<br \/>\nsupposed to be saying unclean<br \/>\nunclean covering his lip and <\/p>\n<p>200<br \/>\n00:14:17,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:21,700<br \/>\nstaying away, but he has come to<br \/>\nJesus and he says if you want. <\/p>\n<p>201<br \/>\n00:14:23,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:29,800<br \/>\nYou can make me clean.<br \/>\nLord if thou wilt thou canst <\/p>\n<p>202<br \/>\n00:14:29,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:36,700<br \/>\nmake me clean and Jesus put<br \/>\nforth his hand and touched him <\/p>\n<p>203<br \/>\n00:14:37,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:43,600<br \/>\nsaying I will I do want to Be<br \/>\nthou clean. <\/p>\n<p>204<br \/>\n00:14:44,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:47,900<br \/>\nAnd immediately his leprosy was<br \/>\ncleansed and he can&#8217;t help but <\/p>\n<p>205<br \/>\n00:14:47,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:50,400<br \/>\nthink to yourself.<br \/>\nI wonder how long it had been <\/p>\n<p>206<br \/>\n00:14:51,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:55,600<br \/>\nsince anybody of sound body had<br \/>\ntouched this man with this <\/p>\n<p>207<br \/>\n00:14:55,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:14:59,300<br \/>\nhorrible disfiguring disease and<br \/>\nJesus touched him. <\/p>\n<p>208<br \/>\n00:14:59,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:01,300<br \/>\nAnd we you know, you might ask<br \/>\nyourself. <\/p>\n<p>209<br \/>\n00:15:01,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:06,800<br \/>\nSo why is that detail included<br \/>\nbut come over chapter 8 come <\/p>\n<p>210<br \/>\n00:15:06,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:19,600<br \/>\ndown to verse 14 Peter&#8217;s mother<br \/>\nin law&#8217;s sick and it&#8217;s <\/p>\n<p>211<br \/>\n00:15:19,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:21,300<br \/>\ninteresting.<br \/>\nIf you look at the harmony of <\/p>\n<p>212<br \/>\n00:15:21,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:24,300<br \/>\nthe gospels of different<br \/>\naccounts Luke, you know, Luke <\/p>\n<p>213<br \/>\n00:15:24,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:28,500<br \/>\nThe Physician he says she had a<br \/>\ngreat fever the other gospels <\/p>\n<p>214<br \/>\n00:15:28,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:37,000<br \/>\nsay she had a fear of Luke says<br \/>\nshe had a great fever and so I <\/p>\n<p>215<br \/>\n00:15:37,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:40,500<br \/>\nguess in my mind&#8217;s eye.<br \/>\nI see Jesus approaching her and <\/p>\n<p>216<br \/>\n00:15:40,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:42,700<br \/>\nLuke says that he stood over<br \/>\nher. <\/p>\n<p>217<br \/>\n00:15:44,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:46,200<br \/>\nHere&#8217;s a here&#8217;s what we have in<br \/>\nMatthew verse 8. <\/p>\n<p>218<br \/>\n00:15:46,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:50,200<br \/>\nI&#8217;m first 14 of chapter 8 when<br \/>\nJesus was coming to Peter&#8217;s <\/p>\n<p>219<br \/>\n00:15:50,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:53,100<br \/>\nhouse.<br \/>\nHe saw his wife&#8217;s mother laid <\/p>\n<p>220<br \/>\n00:15:53,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:15:59,300<br \/>\nand sick of a fever and he<br \/>\ntouched her hand and the fever <\/p>\n<p>221<br \/>\n00:15:59,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:02,600<br \/>\nleft her and she arose and<br \/>\nministered unto them. <\/p>\n<p>222<br \/>\n00:16:03,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:06,600<br \/>\nAnd once again you say why did<br \/>\nhe touch her head? <\/p>\n<p>223<br \/>\n00:16:06,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:12,600<br \/>\nAnd why is the detail included<br \/>\nremarkably in between these two <\/p>\n<p>224<br \/>\n00:16:12,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:14,900<br \/>\nhealing?<br \/>\nWhere Jesus reaches out and <\/p>\n<p>225<br \/>\n00:16:14,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:19,300<br \/>\ntouches the person is the<br \/>\nCenturian with this with a <\/p>\n<p>226<br \/>\n00:16:19,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:24,200<br \/>\nservant who&#8217;s sick of the palsy<br \/>\nin verse 5 when Jesus was <\/p>\n<p>227<br \/>\n00:16:24,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:26,800<br \/>\nentered into Capernaum there<br \/>\ncame unto him a centurion <\/p>\n<p>228<br \/>\n00:16:26,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:30,200<br \/>\nbeseeching him and saying Lord<br \/>\nmy servant life at home sick of <\/p>\n<p>229<br \/>\n00:16:30,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:34,700<br \/>\nthe palsy grievously tormented<br \/>\nand Jesus says I will come and <\/p>\n<p>230<br \/>\n00:16:34,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:41,500<br \/>\nheal him and the synturion says<br \/>\nI&#8217;m not worthy for you to come <\/p>\n<p>231<br \/>\n00:16:41,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:43,900<br \/>\ninto my house.<br \/>\nYeah, I&#8217;m I&#8217;m a man under <\/p>\n<p>232<br \/>\n00:16:43,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:46,400<br \/>\nAuthority.<br \/>\nI guess I use your commands and <\/p>\n<p>233<br \/>\n00:16:46,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:51,100<br \/>\nthey&#8217;re taking care of.<br \/>\nImplication that being that he <\/p>\n<p>234<br \/>\n00:16:51,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:16:56,800<br \/>\nknew that Jesus word was enough<br \/>\nand Jesus says I haven&#8217;t seen <\/p>\n<p>235<br \/>\n00:16:56,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:03,700<br \/>\nsuch a incredible faith.<br \/>\nVerse 13 He says to the <\/p>\n<p>236<br \/>\n00:17:03,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:09,700<br \/>\nCenturion go thy way and as thou<br \/>\nHast believed so be it done unto<\/p>\n<p>237<br \/>\n00:17:09,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:13,800<br \/>\nthee and his servant was healed<br \/>\nin the selfsame hour you imagine<\/p>\n<p>238<br \/>\n00:17:13,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:19,700<br \/>\nthe synturion goes home and<br \/>\nthere&#8217;s a servant he&#8217;s been he&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>239<br \/>\n00:17:19,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:22,599<br \/>\nbeen paralyzed now.<br \/>\nHe&#8217;s up and about looks fine. <\/p>\n<p>240<br \/>\n00:17:22,599 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:25,800<br \/>\nHe&#8217;s not grievously tormented<br \/>\nand he and you can imagine <\/p>\n<p>241<br \/>\n00:17:25,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:30,800<br \/>\nsaying so when did it happen?<br \/>\nAnd it said was about it was <\/p>\n<p>242<br \/>\n00:17:30,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:35,100<br \/>\nabout two hours ago and he would<br \/>\nknow it was right when Jesus had<\/p>\n<p>243<br \/>\n00:17:35,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:39,800<br \/>\nspoken the word.<br \/>\nThat the man was healed now, <\/p>\n<p>244<br \/>\n00:17:39,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:41,600<br \/>\nisn&#8217;t it?<br \/>\nInteresting that that is <\/p>\n<p>245<br \/>\n00:17:41,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:46,100<br \/>\nsandwiched right in between<br \/>\nthese two cases where Jesus <\/p>\n<p>246<br \/>\n00:17:46,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:50,200<br \/>\ntouches the person who he&#8217;s<br \/>\nhealing? <\/p>\n<p>247<br \/>\n00:17:52,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:17:57,500<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s almost as though to say it<br \/>\nwas not necessary for Jesus to <\/p>\n<p>248<br \/>\n00:17:57,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:01,500<br \/>\ntouch that leper.<br \/>\nIt wasn&#8217;t necessary for him to <\/p>\n<p>249<br \/>\n00:18:01,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:09,000<br \/>\ntouch Peters mothers.<br \/>\nPeter&#8217;s wife mother sorry be <\/p>\n<p>250<br \/>\n00:18:09,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:11,600<br \/>\ncareful with these relations.<br \/>\nThey get me in trouble Peter&#8217;s <\/p>\n<p>251<br \/>\n00:18:11,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:13,500<br \/>\nmother-in-law.<br \/>\nIt wasn&#8217;t it wasn&#8217;t necessary <\/p>\n<p>252<br \/>\n00:18:13,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:20,800<br \/>\nfor him to for him to touch her<br \/>\nbut both cases the hand of Jesus<\/p>\n<p>253<br \/>\n00:18:20,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:25,300<br \/>\nis involved and you ask why and<br \/>\nit&#8217;s not complicated. <\/p>\n<p>254<br \/>\n00:18:26,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:29,400<br \/>\nOne measure.<br \/>\nI think it&#8217;s the touch of the <\/p>\n<p>255<br \/>\n00:18:29,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:33,300<br \/>\nDivine.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s come in contact with the <\/p>\n<p>256<br \/>\n00:18:33,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:36,800<br \/>\nDivine.<br \/>\nBut there&#8217;s also something about<\/p>\n<p>257<br \/>\n00:18:36,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:42,800<br \/>\nJesus compassion an interesting<br \/>\nthat so many expressions of <\/p>\n<p>258<br \/>\n00:18:42,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:45,700<br \/>\ncompassion have to do with being<br \/>\ntouched. <\/p>\n<p>259<br \/>\n00:18:46,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:51,800<br \/>\nSo we think of in Hebrews<br \/>\nchapter 4 when it talks about <\/p>\n<p>260<br \/>\n00:18:52,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:18:56,500<br \/>\nour compassionate high priest<br \/>\nwho is touched with the things <\/p>\n<p>261<br \/>\n00:18:56,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:01,600<br \/>\nof our infirmities we don&#8217;t have<br \/>\na high priest. <\/p>\n<p>262<br \/>\n00:19:03,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:07,200<br \/>\nThe writer say you may not have<br \/>\na high priest who&#8217;s so out there<\/p>\n<p>263<br \/>\n00:19:07,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:10,000<br \/>\nseparate from us.<br \/>\nSo perfect and unapproachable. <\/p>\n<p>264<br \/>\n00:19:11,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:14,200<br \/>\nWe have one is touched with the<br \/>\nfeeling of our infirmities <\/p>\n<p>265<br \/>\n00:19:14,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:17,000<br \/>\nNovember with me to Hebrews<br \/>\nchapter 4. <\/p>\n<p>266<br \/>\n00:19:20,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:25,300<br \/>\nSeeing men Hebrews 4 verse 14<br \/>\nseeing then that we have a great<\/p>\n<p>267<br \/>\n00:19:25,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:28,800<br \/>\nhigh priest that is passed into<br \/>\nthe heavens Jesus the son of <\/p>\n<p>268<br \/>\n00:19:28,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:34,300<br \/>\nGod, let us hold fast our<br \/>\nprofession for we have not an <\/p>\n<p>269<br \/>\n00:19:34,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:37,100<br \/>\nhigh priest which cannot be<br \/>\ntouched with the feeling of our <\/p>\n<p>270<br \/>\n00:19:37,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:41,100<br \/>\ninfirmities but was in all<br \/>\npoints tempted like as we are <\/p>\n<p>271<br \/>\n00:19:41,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:45,000<br \/>\nyet without sin Let Us therefore<br \/>\ncome boldly unto the throne of <\/p>\n<p>272<br \/>\n00:19:45,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:49,800<br \/>\ngrace that we may obtain mercy<br \/>\nand find Grace to help in time <\/p>\n<p>273<br \/>\n00:19:49,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:55,500<br \/>\nof need.<br \/>\nThe reality of our Lord Jesus is<\/p>\n<p>274<br \/>\n00:19:55,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:19:59,900<br \/>\nwhat&#8217;s being spoken of here.<br \/>\nAnd I you know, I know it&#8217;s it&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>275<br \/>\n00:19:59,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:02,900<br \/>\nwonderful that we can have<br \/>\npassages like this that we can <\/p>\n<p>276<br \/>\n00:20:02,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:06,200<br \/>\nuse to explain to people that<br \/>\nthe doctrine of the Trinity is <\/p>\n<p>277<br \/>\n00:20:06,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:09,400<br \/>\nnot a Biblical idea.<br \/>\nYou know, we say look Jesus was <\/p>\n<p>278<br \/>\n00:20:09,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:11,700<br \/>\ntempted in all points.<br \/>\nLike as we are yet without sin. <\/p>\n<p>279<br \/>\n00:20:12,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:14,800<br \/>\nJesus was tempted.<br \/>\nWe know God can&#8217;t be centered so<\/p>\n<p>280<br \/>\n00:20:14,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:18,000<br \/>\nwe know therefore that Jesus<br \/>\nisn&#8217;t God and we might even see <\/p>\n<p>281<br \/>\n00:20:18,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:20,400<br \/>\nthis that might be the way we<br \/>\nuse this passage. <\/p>\n<p>282<br \/>\n00:20:20,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:24,000<br \/>\nThan anything else?<br \/>\nBut I&#8217;m not sure that that was <\/p>\n<p>283<br \/>\n00:20:24,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:27,400<br \/>\nwhat it was written for it was<br \/>\nwritten to tell us that when we <\/p>\n<p>284<br \/>\n00:20:27,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:33,100<br \/>\nfeel tempted.<br \/>\nThat we can go with confidence <\/p>\n<p>285<br \/>\n00:20:35,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:41,800<br \/>\nto the throne of grace.<br \/>\nWhen we&#8217;ve sinned we shouldn&#8217;t <\/p>\n<p>286<br \/>\n00:20:41,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:46,900<br \/>\npray blankets in the blanket<br \/>\nprayers of forgive me of all my <\/p>\n<p>287<br \/>\n00:20:46,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:52,400<br \/>\nsins.<br \/>\nIn fact verse 13 says that Did <\/p>\n<p>288<br \/>\n00:20:52,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:55,700<br \/>\neverything is naked and open<br \/>\nbefore the eyes of him? <\/p>\n<p>289<br \/>\n00:20:55,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:20:58,500<br \/>\nWith whom we have to deal?<br \/>\nI mean Jesus knows. <\/p>\n<p>290<br \/>\n00:20:59,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:05,800<br \/>\nAnd when we feel defiled we feel<br \/>\nashamed and yet we can come with<\/p>\n<p>291<br \/>\n00:21:05,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:09,900<br \/>\nconfidence.<br \/>\nBecause he&#8217;s a merciful and <\/p>\n<p>292<br \/>\n00:21:09,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:13,500<br \/>\ncompassionate high priest.<br \/>\nAnd I think that&#8217;s what&#8217;s an <\/p>\n<p>293<br \/>\n00:21:13,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:18,900<br \/>\nEvidence in these healings where<br \/>\nhe actually reaches out and <\/p>\n<p>294<br \/>\n00:21:18,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:22,300<br \/>\ntouches the leper touches Peters<br \/>\nmother-in-law. <\/p>\n<p>295<br \/>\n00:21:24,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:25,800<br \/>\nWell, let&#8217;s come back to<br \/>\nMatthew. <\/p>\n<p>296<br \/>\n00:21:28,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:43,700<br \/>\nMatthew chapter 9 here we have<br \/>\nin verses 18 to 25 two episodes <\/p>\n<p>297<br \/>\n00:21:44,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:51,300<br \/>\nof folks coming in physical<br \/>\ncontact with Jesus. start off <\/p>\n<p>298<br \/>\n00:21:51,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:21:58,700<br \/>\nwith gyrus verses 18 and 19<br \/>\nMatthew 9 verse 18 while he <\/p>\n<p>299<br \/>\n00:21:58,700 &#8211;&gt;

00:37:42,400<br \/>\ncontact with the Divine and it<br \/>\nmakes you wonder whatever <\/p>\n<p>506<br \/>\n00:37:42,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:37:50,200<br \/>\nhappened to those kids done it<br \/>\nyou wonder if 60 70 80 years <\/p>\n<p>507<br \/>\n00:37:50,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:37:52,500<br \/>\nlater they be saying to their<br \/>\ngrandchildren. <\/p>\n<p>508<br \/>\n00:37:52,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:37:53,900<br \/>\nDid I ever tell you about the<br \/>\ntime? <\/p>\n<p>509<br \/>\n00:37:55,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:37:57,800<br \/>\nAnd it&#8217;s a yeah, you told about<br \/>\nthat time. <\/p>\n<p>510<br \/>\n00:37:59,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:38:02,300<br \/>\nAnd I sat on the Lord Jesus lap,<br \/>\nbut he he blessed me. <\/p>\n<p>511<br \/>\n00:38:05,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:38:08,100<br \/>\nI wonder if these children grew<br \/>\nup to become disciples. <\/p>\n<p>512<br \/>\n00:38:10,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:38:14,900<br \/>\nWhat a contrast between those<br \/>\nchildren and the simple faith of<\/p>\n<p>513<br \/>\n00:38:14,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:38:19,900<br \/>\ntheir parents.<br \/>\nAnd the self-righteous Pharisees<\/p>\n<p>514<br \/>\n00:38:20,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:38:25,000<br \/>\nand so Jesus indignation with<br \/>\nhis disciples of such is the <\/p>\n<p>515<br \/>\n00:38:25,008 &#8211;&gt; 00:38:28,100<br \/>\nkingdom of God.<br \/>\nSuch a lesson. <\/p>\n<p>516<br \/>\n00:38:28,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:38:32,900<br \/>\nIt was for the disciples.<br \/>\nAnd can imagine the parents <\/p>\n<p>517<br \/>\n00:38:32,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:38:37,000<br \/>\npleasure.<br \/>\nI imagine it left an indelible <\/p>\n<p>518<br \/>\n00:38:37,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:38:41,800<br \/>\noppression of the kindness and<br \/>\ngentleness of our Lord Jesus on <\/p>\n<p>519<br \/>\n00:38:41,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:38:44,900<br \/>\nthese people.<br \/>\nThey had a mental picture of the<\/p>\n<p>520<br \/>\n00:38:44,908 &#8211;&gt; 00:38:51,300<br \/>\nLord and that mental picture was<br \/>\nlife-altering and so it is for <\/p>\n<p>521<br \/>\n00:38:51,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:38:58,600<br \/>\nus and so it should be for us.<br \/>\nwith knowing Jesus we call him <\/p>\n<p>522<br \/>\n00:38:58,600 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:03,100<br \/>\nLord and teacher and we<br \/>\nacknowledge his presence. <\/p>\n<p>523<br \/>\n00:39:04,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:08,300<br \/>\nWe know that he ever lives to<br \/>\nmake intercession for us. <\/p>\n<p>524<br \/>\n00:39:09,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:12,700<br \/>\nI got to thinking about it one<br \/>\ntime and you know, it&#8217;s good to <\/p>\n<p>525<br \/>\n00:39:12,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:13,900<br \/>\nask yourself this kind of<br \/>\nquestionable. <\/p>\n<p>526<br \/>\n00:39:16,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:19,700<br \/>\nWhat difference did it make that<br \/>\nJesus was resurrected? <\/p>\n<p>527<br \/>\n00:39:20,900 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:25,000<br \/>\nI mean why couldn&#8217;t it have been<br \/>\nsimply that you know Abraham is <\/p>\n<p>528<br \/>\n00:39:25,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:30,200<br \/>\ngoing to be raised in the last<br \/>\nday why couldn&#8217;t Jesus of just <\/p>\n<p>529<br \/>\n00:39:31,200 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:33,700<br \/>\nstayed in the grave and be<br \/>\nraised what difference does it <\/p>\n<p>530<br \/>\n00:39:33,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:36,700<br \/>\nmake and then the first answer I<br \/>\ncome up with is probably first <\/p>\n<p>531<br \/>\n00:39:36,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:38,500<br \/>\nanswered Lottie come up with it<br \/>\nas well. <\/p>\n<p>532<br \/>\n00:39:39,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:43,000<br \/>\nThe grave couldn&#8217;t hold him.<br \/>\nSo the fact of Jesus <\/p>\n<p>533<br \/>\n00:39:43,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:49,300<br \/>\nresurrection was a seal of God&#8217;s<br \/>\napproval on what Jesus had done <\/p>\n<p>534<br \/>\n00:39:51,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:55,400<br \/>\nand it was a wonderful teaching<br \/>\nand preaching toll to say Jesus <\/p>\n<p>535<br \/>\n00:39:55,400 &#8211;&gt; 00:39:58,200<br \/>\nis risen, but then I say to<br \/>\nmyself or wait a minute. <\/p>\n<p>536<br \/>\n00:39:58,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:40:01,800<br \/>\nWhat about if there had been<br \/>\nsome other way that God could <\/p>\n<p>537<br \/>\n00:40:01,800 &#8211;&gt; 00:40:08,500<br \/>\nhave demonstrated his approval<br \/>\nof Jesus and some single miracle<\/p>\n<p>538<br \/>\n00:40:08,500 &#8211;&gt; 00:40:14,000<br \/>\nthat could have absolutely<br \/>\nshown. me the Jesus was in fact,<\/p>\n<p>539<br \/>\n00:40:14,000 &#8211;&gt; 00:40:17,800<br \/>\nthe Messiah wouldn&#8217;t why<br \/>\nwouldn&#8217;t that have been enough? <\/p>\n<p>540<br \/>\n00:40:19,700 &#8211;&gt; 00:40:25,300<br \/>\nAnd then the answer has to come<br \/>\nto us that he ever lives to make<\/p>\n<p>541<br \/>\n00:40:25,300 &#8211;&gt; 00:40:34,500<br \/>\nintercession for us.<br \/>\nHe is the Gate of the Sheepfold.<\/p>\n<p>542<br \/>\n00:40:35,100 &#8211;&gt; 00:40:39,000<br \/>\nHe&#8217;s the way we come in anybody<br \/>\nelse could climb up and go in <\/p>\n<p>543<br \/>\n00:40:39,000 &#8211;&gt;
