\n00:00:13,900 –> 00:00:15,600
\nWelcome to Good Burger.
\nSelfie and talks. <\/p>\n

2
\n00:00:15,600 –> 00:00:18,300
\nI’m Levi and I’m Chris and I’m
\nBrian. <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:18,500 –> 00:00:19,900
\nThank you for joining us this
\nweek. <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:20,300 –> 00:00:23,300
\nOn this podcast.
\nWe select one taco week to help <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:23,300 –> 00:00:26,400
\nus get the Bible in our daily
\nnews feed. <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:26,500 –> 00:00:29,300
\nWe post a new episode of the
\nstart of each week with a short <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:29,300 –> 00:00:31,400
\nintro before.
\nHand to kind of set the stage <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:31,400 –> 00:00:33,600
\nfor the talk.
\nYou’re about to listen to and <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:33,600 –> 00:00:36,300
\nnow let’s talk more about this
\nweek’s talk. <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:51,000 –> 00:00:53,300
\nWelcome to the good
\nchristadelphians talks podcast. <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:53,800 –> 00:00:57,400
\nThis is brother Brian.
\nThis week’s talk is a class that<\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:57,400 –> 00:01:01,600
\nwas sent in by a recommendation
\nby Brother Luke gervase has, <\/p>\n

13
\n00:01:02,200 –> 00:01:05,700
\nwhich was given at the Hebron
\nyoung people’s gathering in <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:05,700 –> 00:01:07,500
\nAdelaide last.
\nOctober. <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:08,400 –> 00:01:12,800
\nI believe there are few other
\nclasses by other speakers, but <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:12,800 –> 00:01:18,200
\nbrother Luke gave to on the
\ntheme harnessing doubt for a <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:18,208 –> 00:01:22,200
\nstronger believer.
\nAnd it’s the second class that <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:22,200 –> 00:01:25,100
\nwe’re listening to now will
\nprovide the length of the first <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:25,100 –> 00:01:29,400
\nclass as well as all the Heparin
\nclasses in the description <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:29,400 –> 00:01:33,100
\nbelow.
\nSo the second class did not <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:33,100 –> 00:01:38,100
\nappear to have its own title.
\nSo I might unofficially call it.<\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:38,900 –> 00:01:45,100
\nDo you know your father?
\nBrother Luke opens reflecting on<\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:45,100 –> 00:01:47,900
\nhis own, very touching
\nrelationship with his father <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:48,200 –> 00:01:51,400
\nbrother.
\nVit, gervase has who we also <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:51,400 –> 00:01:54,300
\nhave some classes coming down
\nthe pipeline for in the coming <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:54,300 –> 00:01:58,300
\nweeks.
\nBut whether Luke brings up how <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:58,300 –> 00:02:03,300
\ncritical the relationship of
\nJesus to his father, is to the <\/p>\n

28
\n00:02:03,300 –> 00:02:09,100
\nentire message of the gospel and
\nhow the faith and confidence <\/p>\n

29
\n00:02:09,100 –> 00:02:15,900
\nthat we share as fellows.
\nLauren and heirs can be muddied <\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:16,700 –> 00:02:21,700
\nor broken if we allow our doubts
\nabout God to cause us to <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:22,000 –> 00:02:25,300
\noverlook or forget who he really
\nis. <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:26,200 –> 00:02:32,100
\nAnd that, that is that he is a
\nrewarder of those who diligently<\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:32,100 –> 00:02:38,300
\nseek him.
\nI found it very touching class <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:39,000 –> 00:02:42,300
\nfor the sobering, reminder of
\nhow hard it may be. <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:42,300 –> 00:02:47,200
\nFor some who have not had
\npositive relationships with <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:47,200 –> 00:02:48,900
\ntheir human.
\nFather growing up. <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:49,800 –> 00:02:54,500
\nTo then be asked to imagine how
\ngood of a father God intends to <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:54,500 –> 00:02:57,000
\nbe when perhaps in their own
\nlife. <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:57,800 –> 00:03:03,400
\nThey might not have had that as
\na healthy reference point. <\/p>\n

40
\n00:03:05,300 –> 00:03:11,000
\nThe role of a father being a
\nrole model for his children is a<\/p>\n

41
\n00:03:11,000 –> 00:03:15,300
\ngame-changer.
\nI see the adverse effects of <\/p>\n

42
\n00:03:15,300 –> 00:03:19,100
\nthat on a daily basis.
\nBeing a teacher in the public <\/p>\n

43
\n00:03:19,100 –> 00:03:26,600
\nschool system here in America.
\nAnd I compare that to the <\/p>\n

44
\n00:03:26,900 –> 00:03:33,200
\nMountain Moving display of love
\nthat my own dad showed me, that <\/p>\n

45
\n00:03:33,500 –> 00:03:36,400
\nwas a critical role in Faith
\ngrowing up. <\/p>\n

46
\n00:03:38,700 –> 00:03:42,000
\nSo I really hope that you enjoy
\nthis doll for reminder by <\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:42,000 –> 00:03:45,300
\nBrother Luke of how important it
\nis. <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:46,400 –> 00:03:49,400
\nAnd the process of maintaining
\nour faith to cleat to keep a <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:49,400 –> 00:03:55,200
\nclear concept of who our father
\nis and why he wants to reward <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:55,200 –> 00:03:59,600
\nus.
\nAs always, we hope to <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:59,600 –> 00:04:02,900
\nstrengthens your faith and
\nbrightens your day for Luke. <\/p>\n

52
\n00:04:02,900 –> 00:04:06,900
\nGervase has harnessing doubt for
\na stronger believer. <\/p>\n

53
\n00:04:10,400 –> 00:04:13,600
\nHey, sorry that was a very
\ncasual beginning. <\/p>\n

54
\n00:04:14,800 –> 00:04:17,200
\nI just noticed change.
\nDo I like change? <\/p>\n

55
\n00:04:17,200 –> 00:04:21,700
\nNo, I anyway I’ve been handed a
\nblue card, which says finish at <\/p>\n

56
\n00:04:21,700 –> 00:04:25,100
\n1:15 sharp.
\nSo I’ll get straight to it. <\/p>\n

57
\n00:04:25,200 –> 00:04:33,000
\nI took the hint.
\nSo I’ve been very fortunate, I <\/p>\n

58
\n00:04:33,008 –> 00:04:36,600
\nthink to be able to speak about
\nthe theme of Doubt, which we’re <\/p>\n

59
\n00:04:36,600 –> 00:04:40,500
\ntalking about sort of this
\nmorning at a number of other <\/p>\n

60
\n00:04:40,500 –> 00:04:46,300
\ndifferent meetings around
\nAustralia and also into <\/p>\n

61
\n00:04:46,500 –> 00:04:49,000
\nVictoria, which is also a part
\nof Australia. <\/p>\n

62
\n00:04:50,500 –> 00:04:54,400
\nWhen you when you read back your
\nnotes you realize it only at the<\/p>\n

63
\n00:04:54,400 –> 00:04:57,800
\nworst moments of what you’ve
\njust written but one thing. <\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:58,000 –> 00:05:00,900
\nThat struck me.
\nWhen I was visiting different <\/p>\n

65
\n00:05:00,900 –> 00:05:06,600
\noccasions is the fact that not
\nevery single person not everyone<\/p>\n

66
\n00:05:06,900 –> 00:05:11,200
\nhas experienced.
\nWhat it’s like to have a decent <\/p>\n

67
\n00:05:11,300 –> 00:05:17,300
\nloving caring, father.
\nLike a caring dad and you might <\/p>\n

68
\n00:05:17,300 –> 00:05:18,200
\nask the question.
\nWell, that’s it. <\/p>\n

69
\n00:05:18,200 –> 00:05:20,900
\nThat’s a bit of an odd way to
\nstart your talk. <\/p>\n

70
\n00:05:21,200 –> 00:05:23,300
\nLuke.
\nWhere’s this coming from? <\/p>\n

71
\n00:05:24,300 –> 00:05:29,900
\nThat’s a good question because
\nyou see Jesus has a lot of <\/p>\n

72
\n00:05:29,900 –> 00:05:36,500
\nthings doesn’t need to say about
\ndads and he uses Earthly dad’s <\/p>\n

73
\n00:05:36,500 –> 00:05:41,800
\nEarthly fathers by way of a
\ncomparison and by way of a <\/p>\n

74
\n00:05:41,900 –> 00:05:49,200
\ncontrast to A straight and a
\nfirm a very, very wonderful fact<\/p>\n

75
\n00:05:49,600 –> 00:05:52,500
\nor wonderful facts about our
\nheavenly father. <\/p>\n

76
\n00:05:52,900 –> 00:05:58,600
\nYou see Jesus in Matthew 7 says
\nthis, he says in verse 9, what <\/p>\n

77
\n00:05:58,600 –> 00:06:02,900
\nman?
\nIs there among you who, if his <\/p>\n

78
\n00:06:02,900 –> 00:06:07,700
\nson shall ask him for bread,
\nwill offer him a stone? <\/p>\n

79
\n00:06:08,800 –> 00:06:11,200
\nVerse 10.
\nOr if the son shall ask him for <\/p>\n

80
\n00:06:11,200 –> 00:06:14,800
\na fish.
\nWill he offer him a snake? <\/p>\n

81
\n00:06:16,200 –> 00:06:18,800
\nAnd so, let’s just just pause
\nthere for, just, just, for a <\/p>\n

82
\n00:06:18,808 –> 00:06:20,600
\nbit.
\nJesus. <\/p>\n

83
\n00:06:20,900 –> 00:06:23,700
\nHe knew this, and you knew this
\nbetter than anyone that there <\/p>\n

84
\n00:06:23,700 –> 00:06:29,400
\nare and there will be Earth.
\nLead ads, Earthly fathers, who <\/p>\n

85
\n00:06:29,400 –> 00:06:35,200
\nsadly and tragically offer
\nStones instead of bread who give<\/p>\n

86
\n00:06:35,200 –> 00:06:40,500
\ntheir kids metaphorical snakes
\ninstead of And these types of <\/p>\n

87
\n00:06:40,500 –> 00:06:44,200
\nparents exist in the world,
\ndon’t they abusive dad’s? <\/p>\n

88
\n00:06:45,200 –> 00:06:49,900
\nBut Jesus is not making a
\ncomparison here specifically to <\/p>\n

89
\n00:06:49,900 –> 00:06:55,600
\na reprehensible dad.
\nHe’s talking about your everyday<\/p>\n

90
\n00:06:55,600 –> 00:06:59,500
\nfather, who emits the stresses
\nof Life, the stresses and <\/p>\n

91
\n00:06:59,500 –> 00:07:01,800
\nstrains of life.
\nAnd in the toil of the day, <\/p>\n

92
\n00:07:02,200 –> 00:07:06,200
\nstill is willing and still is
\nwanting to give their own <\/p>\n

93
\n00:07:06,200 –> 00:07:12,300
\nchildren’s gifts, or presence as
\nits translated in the Greek, but<\/p>\n

94
\n00:07:12,300 –> 00:07:17,700
\nsee, I’ve had various brothers
\nand sisters, a lot of them who <\/p>\n

95
\n00:07:17,700 –> 00:07:22,300
\nare elderly actually who come up
\nto me in when giving these talks<\/p>\n

96
\n00:07:22,300 –> 00:07:27,400
\nand said, Luke, I’ve had a
\nterrible dad and I’m like, wow. <\/p>\n

97
\n00:07:27,400 –> 00:07:30,500
\nOkay, they’ve said I’ve had a
\nviolent Dad. <\/p>\n

98
\n00:07:30,500 –> 00:07:35,700
\nI’ve had an abusive Dad or I
\nnever knew my dad because he was<\/p>\n

99
\n00:07:35,700 –> 00:07:39,500
\nabsolutely just wasn’t there or
\nhe left us. <\/p>\n

100
\n00:07:39,500 –> 00:07:41,800
\nWhen I was a little kid.
\nLike I’ve heard stories like <\/p>\n

101
\n00:07:41,800 –> 00:07:45,700
\nthis really heartbreaking and
\nand obviously my heart and I’m <\/p>\n

102
\n00:07:45,700 –> 00:07:50,300
\nsure your hearts would melt for
\nanyone who has ever felt like <\/p>\n

103
\n00:07:50,300 –> 00:07:53,400
\nthey’ve been in a situation like
\nthat with a parent. <\/p>\n

104
\n00:07:54,200 –> 00:07:58,900
\nBut Jesus goes on to say in
\nverse 11, it goes. <\/p>\n

105
\n00:07:58,900 –> 00:08:07,500
\nSo if you dads who are evil know
\nhow to give good gifts to your <\/p>\n

106
\n00:08:07,500 –> 00:08:12,100
\nchildren.
\nHow much more will your father <\/p>\n

107
\n00:08:12,100 –> 00:08:15,000
\nin heaven?
\nGive good things to those who <\/p>\n

108
\n00:08:15,000 –> 00:08:18,600
\nask him.
\nIn Weymouth translation that <\/p>\n

109
\n00:08:18,600 –> 00:08:21,800
\nuses a substitute for the word
\nevil, which might be more <\/p>\n

110
\n00:08:21,800 –> 00:08:27,900
\nhelpful that says if you then
\nimperfect imperfect as you are <\/p>\n

111
\n00:08:27,900 –> 00:08:29,900
\nknow how to give good gifts to
\nyour children. <\/p>\n

112
\n00:08:30,000 –> 00:08:33,000
\nHow much more will your father
\nin Heaven? <\/p>\n

113
\n00:08:33,000 –> 00:08:36,100
\nGood, give good things to those
\nwho ask him. <\/p>\n

114
\n00:08:37,000 –> 00:08:39,000
\nWell, you know what?
\nIt’s actually a really good <\/p>\n

115
\n00:08:39,000 –> 00:08:40,700
\nquestion that Jesus asked, isn’t
\nit? <\/p>\n

116
\n00:08:40,799 –> 00:08:43,100
\nIt’s a good question.
\nI mean. <\/p>\n

117
\n00:08:43,100 –> 00:08:48,800
\nHow much more will God give Good
\ngifts to ask you ask. <\/p>\n

118
\n00:08:48,900 –> 00:08:52,800
\nIt’s a really good question.
\nI mean, how can we possibly <\/p>\n

119
\n00:08:52,800 –> 00:08:56,400
\nquantify?
\nHow much more I mean? <\/p>\n

120
\n00:08:56,800 –> 00:08:59,500
\nWhat do you think?
\nWhat do you think? <\/p>\n

121
\n00:08:59,500 –> 00:09:03,300
\nHow much more do you think 10
\ntimes more 100 times more a <\/p>\n

122
\n00:09:03,300 –> 00:09:08,100
\nthousand times more.
\nCan you actually quantify know? <\/p>\n

123
\n00:09:08,300 –> 00:09:11,900
\nIt must be infinitely more since
\nGod is eternal. <\/p>\n

124
\n00:09:13,400 –> 00:09:16,800
\nYou see, this is what I find
\nhard to comprehend. <\/p>\n

125
\n00:09:17,300 –> 00:09:18,900
\nAnd this is where it gets a bit
\npersonal. <\/p>\n

126
\n00:09:19,500 –> 00:09:24,900
\nSee might get bit choked up.
\nYou know, I might let’s see <\/p>\n

127
\n00:09:25,900 –> 00:09:30,700
\nbecause I actually count myself
\nas extremely, extremely blessed.<\/p>\n

128
\n00:09:31,100 –> 00:09:36,100
\nI’m extremely fortunate to have
\na dad who seriously loves me and<\/p>\n

129
\n00:09:36,100 –> 00:09:37,600
\nprobably some of you have been
\nto Heritage. <\/p>\n

130
\n00:09:37,600 –> 00:09:40,400
\nYou probably know my dad, Uncle
\nVito of it. <\/p>\n

131
\n00:09:42,900 –> 00:09:46,400
\nAnd he’s a kind of dad that
\nwould just drop everything to <\/p>\n

132
\n00:09:46,400 –> 00:09:51,300
\nhelp me or us kids for whatever
\nwe wanted anything at all. <\/p>\n

133
\n00:09:51,300 –> 00:09:53,200
\nAny time of the day, wouldn’t
\nmatter what it was. <\/p>\n

134
\n00:09:53,200 –> 00:09:56,100
\nWhether it was emotional
\nsupport, whether it was <\/p>\n

135
\n00:09:56,100 –> 00:10:00,300
\nfinancial support, whether it
\nwas spiritual support, physical.<\/p>\n

136
\n00:10:00,500 –> 00:10:04,500
\nI know for a fact that Dad would
\nbe there for any of us kids. <\/p>\n

137
\n00:10:04,500 –> 00:10:08,900
\nIf we are so, any time and he
\nknows this too, that I would be <\/p>\n

138
\n00:10:08,900 –> 00:10:12,100
\nthere for him at anytime to if
\nhe needed me. <\/p>\n

139
\n00:10:12,300 –> 00:10:14,000
\nType of relationship that we
\nhave. <\/p>\n

140
\n00:10:14,300 –> 00:10:19,500
\nAnd so what’s difficult for me
\nto imagine is how any other <\/p>\n

141
\n00:10:19,500 –> 00:10:21,700
\nfather, could do better than my
\ndad. <\/p>\n

142
\n00:10:22,700 –> 00:10:25,900
\nAnd yet, here in this passage.
\nJesus is telling me this. <\/p>\n

143
\n00:10:26,100 –> 00:10:29,400
\nAnd this is something that I’m
\nhoping that you’ll listen to <\/p>\n

144
\n00:10:29,400 –> 00:10:32,400
\nreally intently.
\nI’m paraphrasing this, but it’s <\/p>\n

145
\n00:10:32,400 –> 00:10:35,900
\nkind of like this Luke.
\nJesus says, to me, when I read <\/p>\n

146
\n00:10:35,900 –> 00:10:39,600
\nthis passage.
\nYeah, I know about your father <\/p>\n

147
\n00:10:39,700 –> 00:10:43,300
\nof it and and it’s commendable
\non his part. <\/p>\n

148
\n00:10:43,900 –> 00:10:48,300
\nBut you see vit your Earthly,
\nfather who you love. <\/p>\n

149
\n00:10:48,600 –> 00:10:52,400
\nHe’s evil.
\nHis imperfect as weymouth’s, is <\/p>\n

150
\n00:10:52,400 –> 00:10:56,200
\nit.
\nIn fact, actually, I’m sorry to <\/p>\n

151
\n00:10:56,200 –> 00:10:59,800
\ntell you this but your father
\nwho you love is just a <\/p>\n

152
\n00:10:59,800 –> 00:11:05,400
\nflickering shadow of your good
\nfather who dwells in heaven and <\/p>\n

153
\n00:11:05,400 –> 00:11:08,300
\nLuke.
\nI desperately want you to know <\/p>\n

154
\n00:11:08,300 –> 00:11:12,700
\nthis and for all those who are
\nlistening hear this message <\/p>\n

155
\n00:11:12,700 –> 00:11:15,200
\nright now.
\nI want them to know this too. <\/p>\n

156
\n00:11:17,000 –> 00:11:20,500
\nThat even the best human.
\nFather is just a flickering <\/p>\n

157
\n00:11:20,500 –> 00:11:25,200
\nshadow of Our Father in heaven.
\nSo Jesus speaks to me when I <\/p>\n

158
\n00:11:25,208 –> 00:11:27,300
\nread these passages and he asked
\nme, Luke. <\/p>\n

159
\n00:11:27,300 –> 00:11:29,900
\nDo you believe this?
\nDo you believe this to be <\/p>\n

160
\n00:11:29,900 –> 00:11:33,600
\npossible?
\nWhat about you younger people <\/p>\n

161
\n00:11:33,600 –> 00:11:35,800
\nhere?
\nLike do you believe that? <\/p>\n

162
\n00:11:36,000 –> 00:11:37,100
\nDo you have a good?
\nFather? <\/p>\n

163
\n00:11:37,100 –> 00:11:41,500
\nGood, but good mum, good dad.
\nThey’re just flickering Shadows <\/p>\n

164
\n00:11:41,800 –> 00:11:46,400
\nof how good God is.
\nHow much more? <\/p>\n

165
\n00:11:46,500 –> 00:11:48,900
\nHow much more will your father
\nin heaven? <\/p>\n

166
\n00:11:48,900 –> 00:11:50,600
\nGive good things to those who
\nask him. <\/p>\n

167
\n00:11:50,800 –> 00:11:54,100
\nThe answer has to be infinitely
\nmore. <\/p>\n

168
\n00:11:56,300 –> 00:12:01,200
\nIt’s the same message in Psalm
\n103 verses 13 and 14, which says<\/p>\n

169
\n00:12:01,900 –> 00:12:06,800
\nas a father shows compassion on
\nhis children. <\/p>\n

170
\n00:12:07,000 –> 00:12:11,800
\nSo the Lord shows compassion to
\nthose who fear to those, who <\/p>\n

171
\n00:12:11,800 –> 00:12:13,900
\nRevere him.
\nWhy? <\/p>\n

172
\n00:12:14,400 –> 00:12:19,300
\nBecause he knows our frame.
\nHe knows that he knows it. <\/p>\n

173
\n00:12:19,500 –> 00:12:22,800
\nHe pities us and he has
\ncompassion on us. <\/p>\n

174
\n00:12:22,900 –> 00:12:26,000
\nHe remembers that we are dust.
\nThat’s why. <\/p>\n

175
\n00:12:26,400 –> 00:12:31,800
\nHe remembers that we dust see.
\nGod knows our fragility, doesn’t<\/p>\n

176
\n00:12:31,800 –> 00:12:33,700
\nhe?
\nHe knows how fragile we are. <\/p>\n

177
\n00:12:34,900 –> 00:12:39,200
\nHe knows our fragility.
\nHe knows our failings. <\/p>\n

178
\n00:12:40,400 –> 00:12:43,600
\nIn fact, God knows all the ins
\nand outs about how we tick. <\/p>\n

179
\n00:12:43,600 –> 00:12:48,500
\nDoesn’t he?
\nHe made us after all, he knows <\/p>\n

180
\n00:12:48,500 –> 00:12:51,400
\nus better than we know
\nourselves. <\/p>\n

181
\n00:12:52,000 –> 00:12:54,200
\nHe knows what’s going on.
\nInside my heart. <\/p>\n

182
\n00:12:54,300 –> 00:12:55,900
\nHe knows what’s going on inside
\nyour heart. <\/p>\n

183
\n00:12:56,100 –> 00:13:00,600
\nArts, he knows what we think.
\nAnd so it’s clear in Scripture <\/p>\n

184
\n00:13:00,600 –> 00:13:06,000
\nthat God wants us to see him in
\nthe same way that we see <\/p>\n

185
\n00:13:06,000 –> 00:13:10,600
\nourselves as parents to our own
\nchildren in perfect as we are. <\/p>\n

186
\n00:13:11,900 –> 00:13:15,200
\nAnd so, Jesus, draws the
\ncomparison and contrast to us <\/p>\n

187
\n00:13:15,500 –> 00:13:17,300
\nEarthly parents.
\nI’m talking about myself as an <\/p>\n

188
\n00:13:17,300 –> 00:13:22,700
\nEarthly parent, who actually
\nknow how to share and show care <\/p>\n

189
\n00:13:22,700 –> 00:13:26,000
\nand compassion, patience,
\nkindness and gentle, correct. <\/p>\n

190
\n00:13:26,100 –> 00:13:29,800
\nAnd also to our kids who we feed
\nand clothe, and dedicate Our <\/p>\n

191
\n00:13:29,800 –> 00:13:33,700
\nLives to on a daily basis.
\nExcept for this one, key fact <\/p>\n

192
\n00:13:34,400 –> 00:13:39,500
\nthat God’s good gifts and his
\ncare for us is just way, way <\/p>\n

193
\n00:13:39,500 –> 00:13:43,900
\nmore than we can ever fully
\ncomprehend, because he’s God and<\/p>\n

194
\n00:13:43,900 –> 00:13:49,100
\nis not man.
\nAnd so one of the key ways that <\/p>\n

195
\n00:13:49,100 –> 00:13:54,600
\nwe can exercise our faith and
\nbring glory and bring joy to God<\/p>\n

196
\n00:13:55,000 –> 00:13:59,200
\nis to just fully accept to fully
\naccept this. <\/p>\n

197
\n00:13:59,200 –> 00:14:04,800
\nGreat fact about God, and to
\nbelieve that our father in <\/p>\n

198
\n00:14:04,800 –> 00:14:09,500
\nHeaven cares for us, far beyond
\nthe care, and love that, the <\/p>\n

199
\n00:14:09,500 –> 00:14:14,100
\nperfect greatest possible.
\nHuman parent has ever walked the<\/p>\n

200
\n00:14:14,100 –> 00:14:16,300
\nEarth.
\nThis in itself. <\/p>\n

201
\n00:14:16,300 –> 00:14:22,500
\nThis simple fact gives us every
\nreason to dispel our doubts and <\/p>\n

202
\n00:14:22,500 –> 00:14:24,000
\nconfidently.
\nHope in him. <\/p>\n

203
\n00:14:24,100 –> 00:14:27,800
\nNow, I could probably just sit
\ndown and just finish the talk <\/p>\n

204
\n00:14:27,800 –> 00:14:30,400
\nthere and you guys could play
\nsports to whoever you want to <\/p>\n

205
\n00:14:30,408 –> 00:14:33,200
\ndo, except.
\nI’m not quite at 1:15. <\/p>\n

206
\n00:14:34,600 –> 00:14:41,000
\nSo I’ll keep going it, just that
\nbecause you see Jesus. <\/p>\n

207
\n00:14:41,000 –> 00:14:44,500
\nHe’s got a lot more to say about
\nthe reality. <\/p>\n

208
\n00:14:44,900 –> 00:14:49,100
\nOf God as our true father,
\nespecially when he was <\/p>\n

209
\n00:14:49,100 –> 00:14:55,000
\ncombating, the sort of hypocrisy
\nand the authority of the scribes<\/p>\n

210
\n00:14:55,000 –> 00:14:59,100
\nand of the Pharisees.
\nAnd so he says in Matthew 23 <\/p>\n

211
\n00:14:59,100 –> 00:15:01,900
\nverse 8.
\nHe says these words, he goes, <\/p>\n

212
\n00:15:02,200 –> 00:15:04,200
\nyou might have been curious
\nabout this. <\/p>\n

213
\n00:15:04,200 –> 00:15:07,100
\nHe goes, you are not to be
\ncalled rabbi. <\/p>\n

214
\n00:15:08,100 –> 00:15:12,300
\nFor you have one teacher and
\nyou’re all brothers. <\/p>\n

215
\n00:15:12,300 –> 00:15:20,300
\nAnd then he says, in verse 9 of
\nMatthew 23 and call no man, your<\/p>\n

216
\n00:15:20,300 –> 00:15:26,300
\nfather on Earth for you, have
\none father who is in heaven, and<\/p>\n

217
\n00:15:26,300 –> 00:15:29,000
\nhe says, neither be called
\ninstructors or guides or <\/p>\n

218
\n00:15:29,000 –> 00:15:32,800
\nMasters, or I’ve been to India
\nbefore and they call their <\/p>\n

219
\n00:15:32,800 –> 00:15:38,700
\nguides gurus because you’ve got
\nonly one instructor or Master <\/p>\n

220
\n00:15:38,900 –> 00:15:43,800
\nthe Christ and then he says
\ntherefore the greatest among you<\/p>\n

221
\n00:15:43,800 –> 00:15:46,700
\nshall be your servant and that’s
\nthe point. <\/p>\n

222
\n00:15:46,700 –> 00:15:50,500
\nAnd so Jesus was very very
\nconcerned. <\/p>\n

223
\n00:15:50,900 –> 00:15:55,000
\nHe was very concerned that the
\nteachers of the day that there <\/p>\n

224
\n00:15:55,000 –> 00:16:00,700
\nwas a culture where they were
\nusing the title of father as a <\/p>\n

225
\n00:16:00,700 –> 00:16:05,700
\nterm of power and is a term of
\nauthority, especially in regard <\/p>\n

226
\n00:16:05,700 –> 00:16:07,900
\nto their religion and their
\nreligious practices. <\/p>\n

227
\n00:16:08,100 –> 00:16:13,500
\nBut they needed to understand
\nsays Jesus that they too are to <\/p>\n

228
\n00:16:13,500 –> 00:16:21,500
\nbe as little children before God
\ntheir father in Heaven, but the <\/p>\n

229
\n00:16:21,500 –> 00:16:26,600
\nproblem was, is that they were
\nnot seeing themselves as little <\/p>\n

230
\n00:16:26,600 –> 00:16:28,800
\nchildren, though.
\nThey were using the title of <\/p>\n

231
\n00:16:28,800 –> 00:16:34,000
\nfather or Rabbi or master or
\nGuru, if you liked it as a power<\/p>\n

232
\n00:16:34,000 –> 00:16:37,600
\nplay.
\nSo, Jesus says know your place. <\/p>\n

233
\n00:16:38,700 –> 00:16:40,800
\nVerse 11.
\nHe says the greatest among you <\/p>\n

234
\n00:16:40,800 –> 00:16:44,400
\nshall be your servant.
\nSo it’s kind of odd, isn’t it? <\/p>\n

235
\n00:16:44,400 –> 00:16:47,600
\nDon’t you think that maybe in
\nsome Churches? <\/p>\n

236
\n00:16:47,600 –> 00:16:49,300
\nYou’re probably thinking.
\nWell, this is odd, isn’t it? <\/p>\n

237
\n00:16:49,300 –> 00:16:51,500
\nThis seems to clash with what
\nthe Bible says are. <\/p>\n

238
\n00:16:51,700 –> 00:16:54,400
\nThere are some Churches made
\nprobably the Catholic. <\/p>\n

239
\n00:16:54,400 –> 00:16:57,200
\nChurch is a good example.
\nThey refer to their regular <\/p>\n

240
\n00:16:57,200 –> 00:17:00,200
\npriests don’t they as father
\nbless me? <\/p>\n

241
\n00:17:00,200 –> 00:17:04,000
\nFather for I have sinned.
\nSo the term father is used in <\/p>\n

242
\n00:17:04,000 –> 00:17:07,800
\nthis particular context in in
\nfact actually the word. <\/p>\n

243
\n00:17:08,000 –> 00:17:13,900
\nPope is derived from the Greek
\nword purpose, meaning father or <\/p>\n

244
\n00:17:13,900 –> 00:17:17,800
\nPapa.
\nAnd and so we see even today <\/p>\n

245
\n00:17:18,099 –> 00:17:22,500
\nthat this church practice of
\ncalling just normal religious <\/p>\n

246
\n00:17:22,700 –> 00:17:26,000
\nmen.
\nFather is just a carry-on or a <\/p>\n

247
\n00:17:26,000 –> 00:17:28,200
\nlegacy of Ferris, a good
\ntradition. <\/p>\n

248
\n00:17:28,300 –> 00:17:29,500
\nInteresting.
\nDon’t you think? <\/p>\n

249
\n00:17:30,300 –> 00:17:34,200
\nAnd as we read Jesus clearly
\nspoke against this practice. <\/p>\n

250
\n00:17:34,200 –> 00:17:37,900
\nCall, no man, your father on
\nEarth for you have one father. <\/p>\n

251
\n00:17:38,000 –> 00:17:41,100
\nFather who is in heaven and
\nJesus understood it and he <\/p>\n

252
\n00:17:41,100 –> 00:17:45,000
\nexalted God’s fatherly presence
\nin his life. <\/p>\n

253
\n00:17:45,000 –> 00:17:49,200
\nDidn’t he?
\nEspecially in his hour of great <\/p>\n

254
\n00:17:49,200 –> 00:17:52,200
\ndistress and need.
\nAnd when was that? <\/p>\n

255
\n00:17:52,200 –> 00:17:56,600
\nWhen was that key?
\nOur of great distress and need. <\/p>\n

256
\n00:17:56,700 –> 00:18:01,100
\nWell, we remember when Jesus was
\nin The Garden of Gethsemane, <\/p>\n

257
\n00:18:01,100 –> 00:18:04,600
\ndon’t we remember that when he
\npray to God? <\/p>\n

258
\n00:18:04,600 –> 00:18:07,800
\nAnd what did he say in great,
\nanguish and Industry? <\/p>\n

259
\n00:18:07,900 –> 00:18:11,700
\nIs he cried out to God in prayer
\nand he used the words, our bar <\/p>\n

260
\n00:18:12,100 –> 00:18:16,900
\nfather?
\nAnd you won’t Epi means does <\/p>\n

261
\n00:18:16,900 –> 00:18:21,600
\nanyone know?
\nIt means it means daddy. <\/p>\n

262
\n00:18:22,400 –> 00:18:25,600
\nIt means daddy or Papa.
\nThat’s what it means. <\/p>\n

263
\n00:18:26,100 –> 00:18:29,900
\nAnd, and when Jesus was in
\nagony, and when he was great <\/p>\n

264
\n00:18:29,900 –> 00:18:33,900
\ndistress in the garden, before
\nhis crucifixion, he cried those <\/p>\n

265
\n00:18:33,900 –> 00:18:38,900
\nwords, Papa Daddy.
\nOur Bure. <\/p>\n

266
\n00:18:38,900 –> 00:18:42,200
\nFather, Papa Daddy.
\nAll things are possible for you <\/p>\n

267
\n00:18:42,200 –> 00:18:45,600
\nto take this cup from me.
\nPlease yet. <\/p>\n

268
\n00:18:45,600 –> 00:18:51,000
\nNot as I will, but as you will,
\nAnd so Jesus wants us to <\/p>\n

269
\n00:18:51,000 –> 00:18:58,000
\nunderstand the intimacy by which
\nwe too can actually cry to Our <\/p>\n

270
\n00:18:58,000 –> 00:19:02,800
\nFather in Heaven, you know, the
\nrelationship of a very little <\/p>\n

271
\n00:19:02,800 –> 00:19:07,100
\nchild to his.
\nDaddy is an extremely important <\/p>\n

272
\n00:19:07,100 –> 00:19:11,600
\none and I think our here we go.
\nHey, I’m fine. <\/p>\n

273
\n00:19:12,000 –> 00:19:13,400
\nAre you fine?
\nI’m fine. <\/p>\n

274
\n00:19:14,300 –> 00:19:18,800
\nI think about my own kids when
\nthey call me daddy, like Like, <\/p>\n

275
\n00:19:18,800 –> 00:19:22,900
\none day, God willing, you might
\nhave a kid of your own. <\/p>\n

276
\n00:19:23,100 –> 00:19:27,500
\nAnd when you have that moment
\nwhere they call you Daddy, <\/p>\n

277
\n00:19:27,800 –> 00:19:30,800
\nright?
\nIt’s the most heartwarming and <\/p>\n

278
\n00:19:30,800 –> 00:19:34,000
\nthe most beautiful thing ever to
\nexperience. <\/p>\n

279
\n00:19:34,000 –> 00:19:37,400
\nThe intimacy of that
\nrelationship is like happy. <\/p>\n

280
\n00:19:37,500 –> 00:19:42,400
\nIt’s like it’s so it’s like
\nhonestly it’s like Yeah. <\/p>\n

281
\n00:19:44,500 –> 00:19:48,000
\nAnd there isn’t a single thing
\nthat we as parents wouldn’t do <\/p>\n

282
\n00:19:48,000 –> 00:19:51,700
\nfor our own children, even
\nthough we’re imperfect, even <\/p>\n

283
\n00:19:51,700 –> 00:19:54,100
\nthough we’re evil you.
\nSee now. <\/p>\n

284
\n00:19:55,100 –> 00:19:59,400
\nDo you remember back in Matthew
\nchapter 18, this incident when <\/p>\n

285
\n00:19:59,400 –> 00:20:02,700
\nthe disciples were rebuking,
\nremember this when they were <\/p>\n

286
\n00:20:02,700 –> 00:20:07,400
\nrebuking and there are Banning
\nparents from getting their kids <\/p>\n

287
\n00:20:07,400 –> 00:20:09,700
\nand their babies blessed by
\nJesus. <\/p>\n

288
\n00:20:09,700 –> 00:20:11,600
\nYou remember that dream of that
\nincident. <\/p>\n

289
\n00:20:12,500 –> 00:20:14,100
\nWell, if you don’t that’s what
\nhappened. <\/p>\n

290
\n00:20:14,900 –> 00:20:17,500
\nThey were mums.
\nProbably mostly and probably <\/p>\n

291
\n00:20:17,500 –> 00:20:21,300
\nparents dads that were just
\nwanting their, their babies that<\/p>\n

292
\n00:20:21,300 –> 00:20:24,000
\nthey’re little kids their
\nchildren to be blessed by Jesus <\/p>\n

293
\n00:20:24,000 –> 00:20:27,500
\nthat they could just get there
\nand just put their child on the <\/p>\n

294
\n00:20:27,500 –> 00:20:30,200
\nlap of Christ, then they would
\nget a blessing. <\/p>\n

295
\n00:20:32,000 –> 00:20:35,600
\nAnd, and they, and what was
\nhappening, is that the disciples<\/p>\n

296
\n00:20:35,600 –> 00:20:37,300
\nhere.
\nWe’re just going. <\/p>\n

297
\n00:20:37,300 –> 00:20:39,100
\nNo, I’m sorry.
\nNot important. <\/p>\n

298
\n00:20:39,700 –> 00:20:44,000
\nGive the Lord some space and,
\nand, and they were probably <\/p>\n

299
\n00:20:44,200 –> 00:20:48,000
\ninfected by the culture of the
\nday. <\/p>\n

300
\n00:20:48,900 –> 00:20:52,400
\nThere are probably infected by
\nthe culture of the Pharisees of <\/p>\n

301
\n00:20:52,400 –> 00:20:55,100
\nthe leaders, that would be
\nputting up walls and for <\/p>\n

302
\n00:20:55,600 –> 00:20:59,000
\npreventing people from getting
\nclose into close relationships <\/p>\n

303
\n00:20:59,200 –> 00:21:04,000
\nwith God.
\nThrough what they Just and so <\/p>\n

304
\n00:21:04,700 –> 00:21:08,900
\nmany, many moms in particular.
\nWe might think we’re desperate <\/p>\n

305
\n00:21:08,900 –> 00:21:13,100
\nto have their children blessed
\nby Jesus in a blessed may be so <\/p>\n

306
\n00:21:13,100 –> 00:21:15,800
\nthat they could be strong in
\ngood health, maybe their <\/p>\n

307
\n00:21:15,800 –> 00:21:19,700
\nchildren need some healing or
\nmaybe a blessing that they might<\/p>\n

308
\n00:21:19,700 –> 00:21:25,400
\njust grow to be wise or perhaps
\njust to give their child that <\/p>\n

309
\n00:21:25,400 –> 00:21:29,400
\nprecious moment to just remember
\nfor the rest of that their lives<\/p>\n

310
\n00:21:29,400 –> 00:21:32,500
\nthat they were there.
\nThey were Were there physically <\/p>\n

311
\n00:21:32,500 –> 00:21:35,500
\nwith the Lord that they would be
\nable to just remember that and <\/p>\n

312
\n00:21:35,500 –> 00:21:40,400
\nthat they were blessed by Jesus
\nChrist himself, but because of <\/p>\n

313
\n00:21:40,400 –> 00:21:43,800
\nthis cultural example of the
\nPharisees that disciples had <\/p>\n

314
\n00:21:43,800 –> 00:21:47,400
\nbeen influenced by it and there
\nare forbidding the children from<\/p>\n

315
\n00:21:47,400 –> 00:21:50,800
\nthe presence of Jesus as if to
\nsay, no, no, no, Jesus got <\/p>\n

316
\n00:21:50,800 –> 00:21:52,700
\nbetter things to do with his
\ntime. <\/p>\n

317
\n00:21:53,600 –> 00:21:56,100
\nIt was a type of attitude that
\nsaid that kids should just be <\/p>\n

318
\n00:21:56,100 –> 00:22:01,200
\nseen but not heard and back
\nthen, in society kids took <\/p>\n

319
\n00:22:01,200 –> 00:22:04,000
\nprobably the lowest position in
\nsociety. <\/p>\n

320
\n00:22:04,800 –> 00:22:10,100
\nWell, in marks record, Jesus
\nsays that he was indignant <\/p>\n

321
\n00:22:10,500 –> 00:22:13,100
\ntowards his disciples when he
\nsaw that was going on. <\/p>\n

322
\n00:22:13,300 –> 00:22:16,200
\nIndignant means that he was much
\ngrieved. <\/p>\n

323
\n00:22:16,300 –> 00:22:18,800
\nHe was angry.
\nHe was incensed. <\/p>\n

324
\n00:22:20,500 –> 00:22:22,800
\nAnd you don’t often hear it
\nabout gzi. <\/p>\n

325
\n00:22:22,800 –> 00:22:25,600
\nOften hear that Jesus was
\nincensed or that he was <\/p>\n

326
\n00:22:25,600 –> 00:22:28,400
\nindignant.
\nYou only read it a few times in <\/p>\n

327
\n00:22:28,400 –> 00:22:32,600
\nthe Bible, but he was super
\ngrieved by this. <\/p>\n

328
\n00:22:36,400 –> 00:22:40,900
\nAnd so, in this case, it was
\nbecause the little children were<\/p>\n

329
\n00:22:40,900 –> 00:22:45,400
\nbeing barred from his presence.
\nAnd I have to tell you, I find <\/p>\n

330
\n00:22:45,400 –> 00:22:48,200
\nthis extremely comforting, don’t
\nyou? <\/p>\n

331
\n00:22:48,700 –> 00:22:52,900
\nI think it’s really, really
\ncomforting, and I think it plays<\/p>\n

332
\n00:22:52,900 –> 00:22:56,900
\ninto our confidence in in Jesus
\nand it plays into our confidence<\/p>\n

333
\n00:22:56,900 –> 00:22:58,600
\nin our heavenly father.
\nI’ll tell you why. <\/p>\n

334
\n00:22:59,200 –> 00:23:04,000
\nBecause, because it’s so
\ncomforting to to see Jesus as a <\/p>\n

335
\n00:23:04,000 –> 00:23:09,400
\nprotective parent as the
\nrepresentative of his father in <\/p>\n

336
\n00:23:09,400 –> 00:23:12,500
\nHeaven here on Earth,
\nrepresenting all the things that<\/p>\n

337
\n00:23:12,500 –> 00:23:16,500
\nhis father stood for rising up
\nlike this protective Big Brother<\/p>\n

338
\n00:23:16,500 –> 00:23:19,400
\nBear heaping.
\nIndignation, and anger on <\/p>\n

339
\n00:23:19,400 –> 00:23:22,600
\nanyone.
\nEven his friends who would dare <\/p>\n

340
\n00:23:22,600 –> 00:23:25,600
\nprevent little kids from being
\nin his presence for a blessing. <\/p>\n

341
\n00:23:26,000 –> 00:23:30,100
\nIt’s a beautiful thing.
\nDon’t you love it to see this <\/p>\n

342
\n00:23:30,100 –> 00:23:35,100
\nkind of passion and protection
\ntowards The little ones towards <\/p>\n

343
\n00:23:35,100 –> 00:23:40,500
\nthe young people towards you
\nthat are here in the room. <\/p>\n

344
\n00:23:41,900 –> 00:23:45,400
\nAnd in another place, Jesus
\nactually calls his child brings <\/p>\n

345
\n00:23:45,400 –> 00:23:48,000
\nher child over.
\nI think about maybe my own <\/p>\n

346
\n00:23:48,000 –> 00:23:52,800
\nchild, Charlie maybe drags
\nCharlie over and puts her in <\/p>\n

347
\n00:23:52,800 –> 00:23:57,700
\nthere in the midst of all of his
\ndisciples and he says truly I <\/p>\n

348
\n00:23:57,700 –> 00:24:04,100
\nsay unto you unless you turn and
\nbecome like children, you will <\/p>\n

349
\n00:24:04,100 –> 00:24:07,400
\nnever ever enter the kingdom of
\nheaven. <\/p>\n

350
\n00:24:07,400 –> 00:24:10,700
\nAnd a few verses later.
\nIt says see that you do not <\/p>\n

351
\n00:24:10,700 –> 00:24:13,100
\ndespise.
\nOne of these little ones. <\/p>\n

352
\n00:24:13,800 –> 00:24:18,400
\nFor I tell you that they’re in
\nheaven, their Angels, always see<\/p>\n

353
\n00:24:18,400 –> 00:24:21,000
\nthe face of my father.
\nWho is in heaven. <\/p>\n

354
\n00:24:22,700 –> 00:24:24,900
\nSo what do you think?
\nJesus thought about little kids <\/p>\n

355
\n00:24:24,900 –> 00:24:28,400
\nabout young people?
\nI think we have had the case <\/p>\n

356
\n00:24:28,400 –> 00:24:30,400
\nmade very clearly put before
\nyou. <\/p>\n

357
\n00:24:32,000 –> 00:24:38,300
\nSee just because you are young.
\nDo not ever make the mistake of <\/p>\n

358
\n00:24:38,300 –> 00:24:42,700
\nthinking that you have no value
\nin the eyes of God, and his son,<\/p>\n

359
\n00:24:42,700 –> 00:24:47,800
\nJesus, you do.
\nYou’ve seen the evidence of just<\/p>\n

360
\n00:24:47,800 –> 00:24:52,100
\npresented it for you.
\nJesus gave kids even babies and <\/p>\n

361
\n00:24:52,100 –> 00:24:56,200
\ninfants or infants, the time of
\nthe day and in heaven. <\/p>\n

362
\n00:24:56,200 –> 00:25:00,600
\nJesus says that your angels see
\nand behold the face of God every<\/p>\n

363
\n00:25:00,600 –> 00:25:03,600
\nday.
\nPretty nice, huh? <\/p>\n

364
\n00:25:03,800 –> 00:25:06,400
\nPretty special as these are
\npretty affirming things. <\/p>\n

365
\n00:25:08,700 –> 00:25:15,000
\nBut at the end of the day, Jesus
\nreally only sees only one true <\/p>\n

366
\n00:25:15,000 –> 00:25:20,300
\nfather and even though we’ve got
\nnatural mothers and fathers who <\/p>\n

367
\n00:25:20,300 –> 00:25:24,200
\nwe love, who we are told to also
\nrespect and Obey. <\/p>\n

368
\n00:25:24,600 –> 00:25:29,600
\nThey really only is one who has
\nthe right to possess that title <\/p>\n

369
\n00:25:29,600 –> 00:25:34,100
\nof father and that was his
\nfather and his Our Father God. <\/p>\n

370
\n00:25:35,700 –> 00:25:39,600
\nAnd so Jesus wants us to also
\nrespond to his father and our <\/p>\n

371
\n00:25:39,600 –> 00:25:44,600
\nfather, our heavenly father and
\nbelieve in him and believe him, <\/p>\n

372
\n00:25:44,700 –> 00:25:49,800
\nlike little kids who trust who
\nbelieve the words of their own <\/p>\n

373
\n00:25:49,800 –> 00:25:56,000
\nparents with wide-eyed under
\nunder with wide-eyed, wonder and<\/p>\n

374
\n00:25:56,000 –> 00:26:01,100
\nor, you know, I’ve told my my
\nkids so many furphy stories. <\/p>\n

375
\n00:26:01,100 –> 00:26:05,900
\nI can’t even begin to describe
\nhow A, I’ve told and they just <\/p>\n

376
\n00:26:05,900 –> 00:26:14,300
\nlike, really and I’m like, mmm.
\nThey believe, don’t they which <\/p>\n

377
\n00:26:14,300 –> 00:26:18,300
\nis why we need to be more
\nresponsible as parents. <\/p>\n

378
\n00:26:19,800 –> 00:26:24,900
\nHmm. you know, one of the
\nthings, I feared, the most of <\/p>\n

379
\n00:26:24,900 –> 00:26:28,200
\nall as a kid, and I don’t know,
\nyou probably got all your old, <\/p>\n

380
\n00:26:28,200 –> 00:26:32,300
\nprobably got your own story
\nabout things that you feared as <\/p>\n

381
\n00:26:32,300 –> 00:26:38,300
\na kid, but And this is serious.
\nThe thing that I feared the most<\/p>\n

382
\n00:26:38,300 –> 00:26:43,400
\nwas dinner time.
\nBecause I was terrified that my <\/p>\n

383
\n00:26:43,700 –> 00:26:51,200
\nmum would put on the plate.
\nBaked peas, peas. <\/p>\n

384
\n00:26:51,200 –> 00:26:58,300
\nYes, those little green devils
\nand my mum went through a phase <\/p>\n

385
\n00:26:58,300 –> 00:27:01,000
\nwhere she would buy only the
\nminted peas. <\/p>\n

386
\n00:27:01,400 –> 00:27:04,600
\nOf course, my pet hates were
\nmint and peas. <\/p>\n

387
\n00:27:05,000 –> 00:27:09,100
\nSo just to even the idea of just
\nputting toothpaste on a pay, is <\/p>\n

388
\n00:27:09,100 –> 00:27:12,800
\njust a horrendous.
\nIt’s It’s I mean, who does that?<\/p>\n

389
\n00:27:13,300 –> 00:27:15,600
\nOnly a torturer would do such
\nthings? <\/p>\n

390
\n00:27:16,700 –> 00:27:21,600
\nBut here’s the thing over time.
\nNot the mint, but the peas? <\/p>\n

391
\n00:27:21,600 –> 00:27:23,400
\nYes.
\nOver time. <\/p>\n

392
\n00:27:23,400 –> 00:27:27,600
\nI developed this taste for pays.
\nI thought. <\/p>\n

393
\n00:27:27,600 –> 00:27:30,200
\nNo, this is impossible.
\nI would never ever would eat a <\/p>\n

394
\n00:27:30,208 –> 00:27:36,700
\npee, but I am telling you now.
\nI love pays like mashed pays <\/p>\n

395
\n00:27:36,800 –> 00:27:40,600
\ncook pays piece at paying ham
\nsoup. <\/p>\n

396
\n00:27:40,800 –> 00:27:43,700
\nYou name it.
\nIt actually at one stage, I even<\/p>\n

397
\n00:27:43,700 –> 00:27:45,900
\nwanted to name our first child
\np. <\/p>\n

398
\n00:27:47,900 –> 00:27:51,100
\nJuliet wasn’t impressed.
\nWe went with Charlie instead. <\/p>\n

399
\n00:27:51,600 –> 00:27:57,100
\nAnyway, why tell you such a deep
\nstory like that, Psalm 34 Verse <\/p>\n

400
\n00:27:57,100 –> 00:28:07,200
\n8, says taste and see that the
\nLord is good blessed or happy is<\/p>\n

401
\n00:28:07,200 –> 00:28:12,700
\nthe one who takes refuge in him.
\nHappy is the one who hopes who <\/p>\n

402
\n00:28:12,700 –> 00:28:16,000
\nseeks protection who takes
\nshelter under the shadow of his <\/p>\n

403
\n00:28:16,000 –> 00:28:19,900
\nwings.
\nPsalm 34 Verse 8, beautiful <\/p>\n

404
\n00:28:19,900 –> 00:28:23,900
\ntaste and see that the Lord is
\ngood, you know, all of Psalm 34 <\/p>\n

405
\n00:28:23,900 –> 00:28:27,900
\nis an incredible chapter worth
\nreading through, but this <\/p>\n

406
\n00:28:27,900 –> 00:28:32,800
\npassage is a pillar passage.
\nIt’s a pillar passage of hope <\/p>\n

407
\n00:28:32,800 –> 00:28:36,600
\nthat we can hold onto when life,
\nseems too hard. <\/p>\n

408
\n00:28:36,600 –> 00:28:39,700
\nIt’s one of those quotes that
\nneeds to be printed on a squishy<\/p>\n

409
\n00:28:39,700 –> 00:28:40,600
\nplaque.
\nYou see. <\/p>\n

410
\n00:28:41,700 –> 00:28:45,400
\nAnd it’s really a call.
\nIsn’t it to sample God to <\/p>\n

411
\n00:28:45,400 –> 00:28:46,400
\nsample?
\nGod? <\/p>\n

412
\n00:28:46,500 –> 00:28:49,800
\nIt’s actually using words that
\nare associated with our lusts. <\/p>\n

413
\n00:28:49,800 –> 00:28:54,100
\nAnd if you knew that see Eve saw
\nthat the fruit was good and that<\/p>\n

414
\n00:28:54,100 –> 00:28:57,300
\nit was good to The Taste and her
\neyes were opened. <\/p>\n

415
\n00:28:57,600 –> 00:29:01,800
\nBut in this case, we are invited
\nto taste God and your eyes will <\/p>\n

416
\n00:29:01,800 –> 00:29:07,700
\nbe opened to his Supreme
\ncompassion and goodness. you <\/p>\n

417
\n00:29:07,700 –> 00:29:12,500
\nknow, taste also means to
\nperceive to perceive to seek out<\/p>\n

418
\n00:29:12,500 –> 00:29:17,400
\nand to discover to develop a
\nconsciousness of and that’s <\/p>\n

419
\n00:29:17,400 –> 00:29:22,200
\nreally the core of our next
\npassage, which is John 17 verse <\/p>\n

420
\n00:29:22,200 –> 00:29:24,100
\n3.
\nThis is what John 17. <\/p>\n

421
\n00:29:24,100 –> 00:29:31,700
\nVerse 3 says, says, now, this is
\nlife eternal, that they know you<\/p>\n

422
\n00:29:32,000 –> 00:29:37,000
\nthe only true God and Jesus
\nChrist, whom you have sent <\/p>\n

423
\n00:29:37,300 –> 00:29:43,500
\npillar Passage.
\nSee tasting to see, God is <\/p>\n

424
\n00:29:43,500 –> 00:29:49,400
\ncritical.
\nIt is how we get to know God and<\/p>\n

425
\n00:29:49,400 –> 00:29:54,000
\nhis son to sample to seek out to
\ntaste. <\/p>\n

426
\n00:29:54,000 –> 00:29:57,600
\nSee Jesus said something so
\ncontroversial that most of his <\/p>\n

427
\n00:29:57,600 –> 00:30:00,900
\ndisciples just up and left.
\nYou know what that was, you <\/p>\n

428
\n00:30:00,900 –> 00:30:03,800
\nknow, he said that really caused
\nconniptions. <\/p>\n

429
\n00:30:04,800 –> 00:30:12,300
\nHe said, eat my flesh and drink,
\nmy blood taste. <\/p>\n

430
\n00:30:12,300 –> 00:30:15,000
\nHim is what he said, right?
\nPretty gross sounding, isn’t it <\/p>\n

431
\n00:30:15,000 –> 00:30:17,100
\ncannibalism?
\nThat’s what that’s why they left<\/p>\n

432
\n00:30:17,100 –> 00:30:18,300
\nhim.
\nThat’s what they thought that he<\/p>\n

433
\n00:30:18,300 –> 00:30:21,600
\nwas saying, but they didn’t
\nunderstand what he was talking <\/p>\n

434
\n00:30:21,600 –> 00:30:23,300
\nabout.
\nSo, what was he talking about <\/p>\n

435
\n00:30:23,500 –> 00:30:26,000
\nanyone?
\nWhat did he mean? <\/p>\n

436
\n00:30:26,200 –> 00:30:34,800
\nHow do we eat and drink Jesus?
\nIt can be so awkward karna to <\/p>\n

437
\n00:30:35,100 –> 00:30:37,100
\ncall out amongst three hundred
\npeople. <\/p>\n

438
\n00:30:37,100 –> 00:30:38,400
\nSo I don’t expect you to do
\nthat. <\/p>\n

439
\n00:30:40,300 –> 00:30:45,800
\nJesus said, didn’t he that my
\nwords, my words. <\/p>\n

440
\n00:30:46,000 –> 00:30:49,100
\nThey are spirit and they are
\nlife. <\/p>\n

441
\n00:30:50,000 –> 00:30:54,700
\nOkay, so we consume his words,
\ndon’t we? <\/p>\n

442
\n00:30:55,100 –> 00:30:57,800
\nWe want to find out everything
\nthat there is to know about <\/p>\n

443
\n00:30:57,800 –> 00:31:03,800
\nJesus and consumer to eat it up.
\nHis words are Spirit, they will <\/p>\n

444
\n00:31:03,800 –> 00:31:09,600
\ntransform you and they are live
\nlife eternal and so in doing. <\/p>\n

445
\n00:31:09,600 –> 00:31:15,400
\nSo in feasting on his words, we
\ndevelop this conscious awareness<\/p>\n

446
\n00:31:15,400 –> 00:31:18,600
\nof God.
\nAnd what else do we do? <\/p>\n

447
\n00:31:19,000 –> 00:31:23,800
\nWe also, by constantly tasting
\nof the words of Jesus. <\/p>\n

448
\n00:31:23,800 –> 00:31:30,100
\nWe develop a correct perception
\nof who God actually is a correct<\/p>\n

449
\n00:31:30,100 –> 00:31:31,900
\nperception.
\nOn who God is. <\/p>\n

450
\n00:31:32,900 –> 00:31:35,100
\nBut here’s the sort of alarming
\nthing. <\/p>\n

451
\n00:31:36,900 –> 00:31:44,900
\nOur perception of God can be so
\neasily skewed and distorted by a<\/p>\n

452
\n00:31:44,900 –> 00:31:52,700
\nlack of tasting.
\nAnd a lack of taste leads to a <\/p>\n

453
\n00:31:52,700 –> 00:31:58,000
\nlack of familiarity to not
\nconstantly eat peas, May <\/p>\n

454
\n00:31:58,000 –> 00:32:01,600
\nregress.
\nAnd so, the danger here is that <\/p>\n

455
\n00:32:01,600 –> 00:32:04,900
\nwe can allow so many other
\ntrains of thought, human <\/p>\n

456
\n00:32:04,900 –> 00:32:09,800
\nthinking human ideas, to
\ncompletely and utterly distort. <\/p>\n

457
\n00:32:09,800 –> 00:32:14,800
\nOur view of who God really is.
\nThis is the threat of all ages, <\/p>\n

458
\n00:32:15,100 –> 00:32:18,500
\nbut I’m telling you, it’s
\nespecially the threat right now.<\/p>\n

459
\n00:32:19,400 –> 00:32:24,500
\nNow we just read, didn’t we?
\nThe parable of the talents and <\/p>\n

460
\n00:32:24,500 –> 00:32:28,400
\nhere, it shows really
\ngraphically how problematic it <\/p>\n

461
\n00:32:28,400 –> 00:32:31,900
\ncan be.
\nFor us, if we have a completely <\/p>\n

462
\n00:32:32,100 –> 00:32:35,800
\nskewed version of God in our
\nminds. <\/p>\n

463
\n00:32:37,200 –> 00:32:41,600
\nAnd you see God doesn’t want us
\nto have a distorted view of who <\/p>\n

464
\n00:32:41,600 –> 00:32:44,000
\nhe is.
\nHe wants to us to be inspired by<\/p>\n

465
\n00:32:44,000 –> 00:32:48,000
\ntruth about the truth of who he
\nis about his kindness and his <\/p>\n

466
\n00:32:48,000 –> 00:32:51,300
\ngoodness.
\nIt’s actually his kindness and <\/p>\n

467
\n00:32:51,300 –> 00:32:55,800
\nhis forbearance and his patients
\nthat causes us to change our <\/p>\n

468
\n00:32:55,800 –> 00:32:57,400
\nways.
\nThat’s what Romans do verse four<\/p>\n

469
\n00:32:57,400 –> 00:33:00,000
\ncents.
\nAnd so anyway, we come to the <\/p>\n

470
\n00:33:00,000 –> 00:33:04,900
\nparable of the talents in
\nMatthew 25, verse 14 to 30. <\/p>\n

471
\n00:33:05,200 –> 00:33:09,400
\nAnd we were, we probably know
\nthis pretty well and we just had<\/p>\n

472
\n00:33:09,400 –> 00:33:11,900
\nit read for us.
\nSo we’ve got an idea what it’s <\/p>\n

473
\n00:33:11,900 –> 00:33:14,100
\nabout.
\nBut basically, we remember that <\/p>\n

474
\n00:33:14,100 –> 00:33:18,000
\nthe Master of the House he was
\noff on a journey and he <\/p>\n

475
\n00:33:18,000 –> 00:33:24,100
\nentrusted Three of his servants
\nwith this measure of, of cash <\/p>\n

476
\n00:33:24,400 –> 00:33:26,700
\nwith this measure of money
\ntalents as it says. <\/p>\n

477
\n00:33:27,700 –> 00:33:29,500
\nAnd so what did this master
\nwant? <\/p>\n

478
\n00:33:29,500 –> 00:33:33,900
\nWell, he wanted them to do
\nsomething with the talents. <\/p>\n

479
\n00:33:35,200 –> 00:33:36,600
\nHe wanted something.
\nDidn’t he? <\/p>\n

480
\n00:33:36,600 –> 00:33:42,300
\nHe wanted an increase.
\nHe wanted to see a return on his<\/p>\n

481
\n00:33:42,300 –> 00:33:46,300
\nproperty that he gave to them.
\nSo according to their individual<\/p>\n

482
\n00:33:46,300 –> 00:33:48,200
\nabilities.
\nHe allocated this measure of <\/p>\n

483
\n00:33:48,200 –> 00:33:50,300
\nmoney.
\nSo 21 he thought. <\/p>\n

484
\n00:33:50,300 –> 00:33:53,600
\nOkay, he’s got the most ability.
\nI’m going to give this guy 5 <\/p>\n

485
\n00:33:53,600 –> 00:33:56,700
\ntalents.
\nThen to another, I’ll give two <\/p>\n

486
\n00:33:56,700 –> 00:33:58,300
\ntalents according to his
\nability. <\/p>\n

487
\n00:33:58,500 –> 00:34:02,000
\nAnd then while this guy servant,
\nnumber three, I’ll give him one <\/p>\n

488
\n00:34:02,000 –> 00:34:04,800
\nTalent according to his ability
\nas well. <\/p>\n

489
\n00:34:06,200 –> 00:34:08,900
\nNow, any return on the
\ninvestment is fine. <\/p>\n

490
\n00:34:09,800 –> 00:34:13,600
\nThe master just wanted a return.
\nIncidentally, a talent is not <\/p>\n

491
\n00:34:13,600 –> 00:34:15,100
\nactually a small amount of
\nmoney. <\/p>\n

492
\n00:34:15,600 –> 00:34:20,500
\nA single Talent is actually
\nworth 20 years of a laborers, <\/p>\n

493
\n00:34:20,500 –> 00:34:23,300
\nannual wage.
\nSo we’re not talking about small<\/p>\n

494
\n00:34:23,300 –> 00:34:24,699
\nbicky’s here.
\nWe’re talking about a lot of <\/p>\n

495
\n00:34:24,699 –> 00:34:26,800
\nmoney.
\nSo even the person that had one <\/p>\n

496
\n00:34:26,800 –> 00:34:29,900
\nTalent was holding something of
\nquite a lot of value. <\/p>\n

497
\n00:34:30,500 –> 00:34:33,300
\nIt wasn’t a small investment.
\nAnd so, as The Story Goes <\/p>\n

498
\n00:34:33,300 –> 00:34:35,500
\nservants, one and two, What they
\ndo. <\/p>\n

499
\n00:34:35,500 –> 00:34:38,900
\nWell, they doubled their money
\nand the master. <\/p>\n

500
\n00:34:39,400 –> 00:34:43,199
\nWell, he was overjoyed, well
\ndone. <\/p>\n

501
\n00:34:43,600 –> 00:34:45,300
\nGood.
\nAnd faithful servant. <\/p>\n

502
\n00:34:45,300 –> 00:34:49,100
\nYou have been Faithful over a
\nlittle is what he says, so I’m <\/p>\n

503
\n00:34:49,100 –> 00:34:54,600
\ngoing to set you over much.
\nEnter into the joy of your <\/p>\n

504
\n00:34:54,600 –> 00:34:56,500
\nmaster.
\nWhat an incredible saying. <\/p>\n

505
\n00:34:56,500 –> 00:35:00,700
\nBrilliant, so far.
\nSo good, but hold on. <\/p>\n

506
\n00:35:01,900 –> 00:35:04,100
\nHang on a minute.
\nWhat about this? <\/p>\n

507
\n00:35:04,100 –> 00:35:06,800
\nServant number three with the
\nwith the one Talent? <\/p>\n

508
\n00:35:06,900 –> 00:35:09,500
\nWell, what did he do with his
\ntalent? <\/p>\n

509
\n00:35:09,500 –> 00:35:14,400
\nWell, if we’re looking at that
\nsection verse 24 of Matthew 25 <\/p>\n

510
\n00:35:14,400 –> 00:35:17,500
\nsays this.
\nWell, he came forward saying <\/p>\n

511
\n00:35:18,700 –> 00:35:25,500
\nMaster, I knew you to be a hard
\nman, reaping where you did not <\/p>\n

512
\n00:35:25,500 –> 00:35:28,800
\nsow and and Gathering where you
\nscattered no seed. <\/p>\n

513
\n00:35:28,900 –> 00:35:33,100
\nSo, I was afraid and I went and
\nhid your talent in the ground. <\/p>\n

514
\n00:35:33,100 –> 00:35:34,900
\nHere you are.
\nHe is. <\/p>\n

515
\n00:35:34,900 –> 00:35:36,800
\nWhat’s yours?
\nThat’s what he said. <\/p>\n

516
\n00:35:37,500 –> 00:35:41,200
\nBit more dramatize than normal.
\nSo what did he do with his <\/p>\n

517
\n00:35:41,200 –> 00:35:43,700
\ntalent?
\nWell, he did nothing. <\/p>\n

518
\n00:35:45,200 –> 00:35:46,600
\nWell, actually, he did do
\nsomething. <\/p>\n

519
\n00:35:46,600 –> 00:35:51,100
\nHe went to the effort, didn’t he
\nwent to the effort of digging a <\/p>\n

520
\n00:35:51,100 –> 00:35:54,200
\nhole and hiding it maybe to
\nprotect it, who knows? <\/p>\n

521
\n00:35:54,300 –> 00:35:57,500
\nHiding it in the ground.
\nSo why why did he do it? <\/p>\n

522
\n00:35:57,700 –> 00:36:00,200
\nWhy did he bury it in the
\nground? <\/p>\n

523
\n00:36:01,600 –> 00:36:06,000
\nHe did it because he had
\nconstructed a completely <\/p>\n

524
\n00:36:06,000 –> 00:36:13,100
\nfictitious picture of what and
\nwho he thought his master was <\/p>\n

525
\n00:36:13,100 –> 00:36:15,300
\nlike.
\nThat’s why he did it. <\/p>\n

526
\n00:36:16,100 –> 00:36:18,900
\nIn his mind.
\nHe had concluded that. <\/p>\n

527
\n00:36:18,900 –> 00:36:24,600
\nHis master was a hard man.
\nThe word is austere, which <\/p>\n

528
\n00:36:24,600 –> 00:36:28,400
\nactually means harsh.
\nIt means violent unyielding. <\/p>\n

529
\n00:36:28,500 –> 00:36:32,000
\nAnd stubborn.
\nThat is who he thought his <\/p>\n

530
\n00:36:32,000 –> 00:36:33,900
\nmaster was.
\nSo he buried it. <\/p>\n

531
\n00:36:34,300 –> 00:36:37,300
\nThat’s why he did it.
\nIn his mind. <\/p>\n

532
\n00:36:37,300 –> 00:36:41,500
\nHe told himself things like
\nyou’re impossible to serve. <\/p>\n

533
\n00:36:41,900 –> 00:36:45,200
\nI’ll never please you.
\nYou demand things of me that are<\/p>\n

534
\n00:36:45,200 –> 00:36:48,000
\nway too hard.
\nYou are constantly dissatisfied <\/p>\n

535
\n00:36:48,000 –> 00:36:51,500
\nof me and you are, and you are
\nconstantly presenting things to <\/p>\n

536
\n00:36:51,500 –> 00:36:56,200
\nme that are just not achievable
\nfear, fear, fear, paranoia. <\/p>\n

537
\n00:36:59,100 –> 00:37:04,300
\nIs this is this what our
\nperception of God is like at <\/p>\n

538
\n00:37:04,300 –> 00:37:09,200
\ntimes?
\nIs it is this what it’s like, Do<\/p>\n

539
\n00:37:09,200 –> 00:37:11,500
\nwe think that God is too hard
\ncore? <\/p>\n

540
\n00:37:13,400 –> 00:37:17,600
\nSo, why bother?
\nWell, the servant with the one <\/p>\n

541
\n00:37:17,600 –> 00:37:21,600
\nTalent did, that’s what he
\nthought and what was the result <\/p>\n

542
\n00:37:21,600 –> 00:37:24,700
\nof his thinking.
\nWell, he was afraid, he was <\/p>\n

543
\n00:37:24,700 –> 00:37:29,700
\nfearful his doubts about his
\nmaster’s, goodness about his <\/p>\n

544
\n00:37:30,700 –> 00:37:35,000
\nmaster’s kindness.
\nHis doubts about them were <\/p>\n

545
\n00:37:35,000 –> 00:37:39,200
\nturned into convictions.
\nHe had convicted or he convinced<\/p>\n

546
\n00:37:39,200 –> 00:37:43,000
\nhimself of these things and
\nthat’s why he was inactive. <\/p>\n

547
\n00:37:43,800 –> 00:37:47,700
\nAnd then he would actually later
\nuse these To rationalize or <\/p>\n

548
\n00:37:47,700 –> 00:37:51,200
\njustify his inactivity and is
\nlaziness. <\/p>\n

549
\n00:37:52,400 –> 00:37:58,000
\nHe thought, what’s the point?
\nWhat is the point? <\/p>\n

550
\n00:37:58,000 –> 00:38:00,200
\nThe Masters not going to be
\nsatisfied with my efforts? <\/p>\n

551
\n00:38:00,200 –> 00:38:05,700
\nAnyway, I’m just the little guy.
\nI am the loser. <\/p>\n

552
\n00:38:05,800 –> 00:38:09,900
\nI’m the one Talent guy.
\nRemember, look at me one Talent <\/p>\n

553
\n00:38:09,900 –> 00:38:13,800
\nguy.
\nI’m not important to the master.<\/p>\n

554
\n00:38:14,100 –> 00:38:16,400
\nHe doesn’t care.
\nSo, you know what? <\/p>\n

555
\n00:38:16,700 –> 00:38:19,700
\nI’m not even going to try.
\nI’m just going to bury his <\/p>\n

556
\n00:38:19,700 –> 00:38:21,000
\ntalent.
\nI’ll keep it safe. <\/p>\n

557
\n00:38:21,000 –> 00:38:24,700
\nAnd then when I give it back to
\nhim, you know, I wipe the dust <\/p>\n

558
\n00:38:25,100 –> 00:38:28,500
\nand I’ll give it back to him if
\nhe ever comes back. <\/p>\n

559
\n00:38:31,100 –> 00:38:34,900
\nBut then the master returns
\ndoesn’t he and he’s caught by <\/p>\n

560
\n00:38:34,900 –> 00:38:37,900
\nsurprise and what’s more?
\nHe’s called up to greet the <\/p>\n

561
\n00:38:37,900 –> 00:38:39,300
\nmaster.
\nAnd here’s the thing. <\/p>\n

562
\n00:38:39,700 –> 00:38:43,200
\nHe’s just seen he shocked.
\nHe’s just seen this. <\/p>\n

563
\n00:38:43,200 –> 00:38:48,500
\nJoyful response.
\nOf his master towards these to <\/p>\n

564
\n00:38:48,600 –> 00:38:50,600
\nFaithful Servants who did
\nsomething. <\/p>\n

565
\n00:38:51,300 –> 00:38:53,700
\nAnd he’s just so confused, his
\nlike home, a man. <\/p>\n

566
\n00:38:53,700 –> 00:38:58,100
\nThis is mind-blowing.
\nI’m shocked because he sees the <\/p>\n

567
\n00:38:58,100 –> 00:39:01,300
\nkindness.
\nHe sees the generosity and the <\/p>\n

568
\n00:39:01,300 –> 00:39:06,400
\njoy in his Master’s face that he
\nhad never ever seen before. <\/p>\n

569
\n00:39:06,700 –> 00:39:12,000
\nIt’s an inspiration to behold.
\nHe also sees the Joy on his two <\/p>\n

570
\n00:39:12,000 –> 00:39:15,000
\nfellow servants, who celebrate
\ntogether. <\/p>\n

571
\n00:39:15,800 –> 00:39:17,400
\nAnd he is the master.
\nSay to them. <\/p>\n

572
\n00:39:17,400 –> 00:39:19,400
\nYou’ve been Faithful over a few
\nthings. <\/p>\n

573
\n00:39:19,400 –> 00:39:22,100
\nSo I’m going to put you in
\ncharge of many things, and the <\/p>\n

574
\n00:39:22,100 –> 00:39:28,600
\nservant is just shocked again.
\nWow, I did not say that coming. <\/p>\n

575
\n00:39:30,600 –> 00:39:35,500
\nBut all of a sudden there’s this
\nhorrible, horrible, realization <\/p>\n

576
\n00:39:35,800 –> 00:39:40,900
\nthat creeps all over his body
\nbecause he’s just realized that <\/p>\n

577
\n00:39:40,900 –> 00:39:45,200
\nhis master is not the man that
\nhe thought he was. <\/p>\n

578
\n00:39:46,500 –> 00:39:50,500
\nNot even close.
\nAnd now it’s his turn and he can<\/p>\n

579
\n00:39:50,508 –> 00:39:52,300
\nimagine him.
\nIf This Were Real, he’d be a <\/p>\n

580
\n00:39:52,308 –> 00:39:55,500
\nblithering mess.
\nJust a blithering mess in this. <\/p>\n

581
\n00:39:55,500 –> 00:39:58,200
\nParable, and as the master turns
\nto him. <\/p>\n

582
\n00:39:58,200 –> 00:40:02,800
\nHe’s thinking of all the things
\nthat he could have done in <\/p>\n

583
\n00:40:02,800 –> 00:40:06,700
\nretrospect to make some return
\non that. <\/p>\n

584
\n00:40:06,700 –> 00:40:09,100
\nTalent matter could have done
\nthis. <\/p>\n

585
\n00:40:09,100 –> 00:40:14,600
\nI Coulda Woulda Shoulda And so
\nall the servant can do is just <\/p>\n

586
\n00:40:14,800 –> 00:40:21,100
\ntell him kind of apart truth.
\nYou guys are my I thought you <\/p>\n

587
\n00:40:21,100 –> 00:40:23,800
\nare harsh.
\nI thought you were impossible to<\/p>\n

588
\n00:40:23,800 –> 00:40:26,400
\nplease.
\nI thought you demanded the <\/p>\n

589
\n00:40:26,400 –> 00:40:29,000
\nunachievable from me.
\nI thought you didn’t care. <\/p>\n

590
\n00:40:29,100 –> 00:40:31,300
\nI was scared of you.
\nSo I did nothing. <\/p>\n

591
\n00:40:31,300 –> 00:40:32,600
\nOh, oh, hang on.
\nWait. <\/p>\n

592
\n00:40:32,700 –> 00:40:34,600
\nI have your talent.
\nI kept it safe for you. <\/p>\n

593
\n00:40:34,900 –> 00:40:36,600
\nI wasn’t going to keep it.
\nI buried it. <\/p>\n

594
\n00:40:36,600 –> 00:40:38,600
\nHere you go.
\nOh, just let me wipe off the <\/p>\n

595
\n00:40:38,600 –> 00:40:40,300
\ndirt.
\nThat’s the least I can do. <\/p>\n

596
\n00:40:41,900 –> 00:40:46,600
\nBut the master looks at this
\nfaithless servant with <\/p>\n

597
\n00:40:46,600 –> 00:40:49,700
\nimmeasurable sadness and
\ndisappointment. <\/p>\n

598
\n00:40:49,700 –> 00:40:54,100
\nAnd, and says, who do you think
\nI am? <\/p>\n

599
\n00:40:56,300 –> 00:41:00,300
\nIf you knew, I was all the
\nthings that you thought I was <\/p>\n

600
\n00:41:00,400 –> 00:41:04,400
\nharsh violent hard, then why
\ndidn’t you just take my talent <\/p>\n

601
\n00:41:04,400 –> 00:41:07,600
\nto the bank and just get a
\nlittle trickle of Interest? <\/p>\n

602
\n00:41:09,700 –> 00:41:13,300
\nI don’t know what bank you bank
\nwith but I bank with the <\/p>\n

603
\n00:41:13,300 –> 00:41:17,900
\nCommonwealth Bank, okay.
\nAnd I’ve got an everyday saver <\/p>\n

604
\n00:41:17,900 –> 00:41:23,200
\naccount where I get an interest
\nrate, massive of 0.33 percent <\/p>\n

605
\n00:41:23,200 –> 00:41:25,000
\nper annum.
\nNow. <\/p>\n

606
\n00:41:25,000 –> 00:41:28,900
\nI’m no mathematician, but I did
\nthe calculations took me some <\/p>\n

607
\n00:41:28,900 –> 00:41:30,800
\ntime.
\nBut if I had a thousand dollars <\/p>\n

608
\n00:41:30,800 –> 00:41:34,500
\nin the bank at the end of the
\nyear, I would get a grand total <\/p>\n

609
\n00:41:34,500 –> 00:41:37,900
\nof three dollars and thirty
\ncents set, right? <\/p>\n

610
\n00:41:37,900 –> 00:41:41,100
\nYeah.
\nIt’s a pretty miserly amount, <\/p>\n

611
\n00:41:41,100 –> 00:41:44,200
\nisn’t it?
\nBut Jesus is saying in this <\/p>\n

612
\n00:41:44,200 –> 00:41:47,500
\nParable I would have In
\nsatisfied with that. <\/p>\n

613
\n00:41:48,900 –> 00:41:50,700
\nI would have been satisfied with
\nthat. <\/p>\n

614
\n00:41:50,700 –> 00:41:55,300
\nIf you done something just small
\nshowing some business acumen. <\/p>\n

615
\n00:41:56,400 –> 00:41:57,900
\nI would have been satisfied with
\nthat. <\/p>\n

616
\n00:41:57,900 –> 00:41:59,700
\nThat’s what Jesus says in this
\nParable. <\/p>\n

617
\n00:41:59,700 –> 00:42:03,400
\nDoesn’t he?
\nAnd then we cause to think about<\/p>\n

618
\n00:42:03,400 –> 00:42:06,700
\nthis, if you weren’t busy with
\nmy talent. <\/p>\n

619
\n00:42:08,300 –> 00:42:15,100
\nThen what were you doing?
\nAnd so he says, I’m sorry, but I<\/p>\n

620
\n00:42:15,100 –> 00:42:18,400
\ncannot accept your excuses.
\nYou never knew me. <\/p>\n

621
\n00:42:19,100 –> 00:42:23,400
\nAnd that’s the point, isn’t it?
\nYou never ever knew me. <\/p>\n

622
\n00:42:24,300 –> 00:42:29,700
\nYou never knew me and towards
\nthis, man, Jesus, you some very <\/p>\n

623
\n00:42:29,700 –> 00:42:33,600
\nin phatak and sobering language
\ndoesn’t, he says this take that <\/p>\n

624
\n00:42:33,600 –> 00:42:39,700
\nTalent from him, give it to him
\nwho has ten talents for to <\/p>\n

625
\n00:42:39,700 –> 00:42:44,300
\neveryone who has more.
\nWill be given and he will have <\/p>\n

626
\n00:42:44,300 –> 00:42:47,600
\nan abundance.
\nBut from the one who has not, <\/p>\n

627
\n00:42:48,200 –> 00:42:50,900
\neven what he has will be taken
\naway. <\/p>\n

628
\n00:42:52,000 –> 00:43:01,900
\nSo everybody who is God to you.
\nWho is he to me, is God, the <\/p>\n

629
\n00:43:01,900 –> 00:43:07,100
\nharsh figure that this servant
\nis shown To Us by. <\/p>\n

630
\n00:43:07,100 –> 00:43:12,700
\nJesus is got a harsh figure.
\nIs he too, is he exactly as As <\/p>\n

631
\n00:43:13,500 –> 00:43:18,800
\ndescribed by the one Talent man.
\nOr alternatively is God just a <\/p>\n

632
\n00:43:18,800 –> 00:43:23,800
\npassive being that neither
\ninvests, nor cares for us. <\/p>\n

633
\n00:43:24,600 –> 00:43:28,500
\nAre we just like an experiment
\nof sorts that that that God <\/p>\n

634
\n00:43:28,500 –> 00:43:33,800
\nallows to exist until the to the
\nworld leaders decide to blow us <\/p>\n

635
\n00:43:33,800 –> 00:43:38,000
\nup into smithereens.
\nOr is the God. <\/p>\n

636
\n00:43:38,000 –> 00:43:42,900
\nWe worshipped based on the
\ngoodness and Truth as expressed <\/p>\n

637
\n00:43:42,900 –> 00:43:48,400
\nin his word, you know, when it
\ncomes to God, that really is <\/p>\n

638
\n00:43:48,400 –> 00:43:54,100
\njust one distinct impossibility.
\nAccording to God, that will <\/p>\n

639
\n00:43:54,100 –> 00:43:59,900
\nseparate us from an eternity
\nwith him and his son and you <\/p>\n

640
\n00:43:59,900 –> 00:44:04,200
\nknow what that is, and it’s
\nimperative that we understand. <\/p>\n

641
\n00:44:04,500 –> 00:44:06,600
\nThis fact.
\nT’ about God. <\/p>\n

642
\n00:44:07,600 –> 00:44:13,200
\nIt’s Hebrews 11 verse 6.
\nLet me read it for you says, but<\/p>\n

643
\n00:44:13,200 –> 00:44:21,500
\nwithout faith, it’s impossible.
\nTo please God, because anyone <\/p>\n

644
\n00:44:21,500 –> 00:44:26,400
\nwho approaches him must believe
\nthat he exists and that he <\/p>\n

645
\n00:44:26,400 –> 00:44:30,200
\nrewards those who earnestly or
\ndiligently seek him. <\/p>\n

646
\n00:44:31,300 –> 00:44:34,900
\nWell, we saw from the parable of
\nthe talents that the one Talent <\/p>\n

647
\n00:44:34,900 –> 00:44:39,500
\nservant did not believe that his
\nmaster was a joyful rewarded, <\/p>\n

648
\n00:44:39,500 –> 00:44:42,700
\ndid he?
\nHe didn’t he wasn’t propelled by<\/p>\n

649
\n00:44:42,700 –> 00:44:47,300
\nthe joyfulness and the joyful
\nrewarding component of his <\/p>\n

650
\n00:44:47,300 –> 00:44:50,100
\nmaster.
\nIn fact, in his mind. <\/p>\n

651
\n00:44:50,100 –> 00:44:53,300
\nHe developed this view of the
\nmaster that said it’s impossible<\/p>\n

652
\n00:44:53,300 –> 00:44:56,500
\nto please you.
\nNo matter what I do. <\/p>\n

653
\n00:44:56,500 –> 00:44:58,800
\nYou are angry with me all the
\ntime. <\/p>\n

654
\n00:44:58,808 –> 00:45:01,600
\nYou are harsh only by the skin
\nof my Teeth. <\/p>\n

655
\n00:45:01,600 –> 00:45:05,800
\nWill I scrape into the kingdom
\nof God, but the master said to <\/p>\n

656
\n00:45:05,800 –> 00:45:09,200
\nthe faithless servant, why
\ndidn’t you just take my money to<\/p>\n

657
\n00:45:09,200 –> 00:45:14,900
\nthe bank?
\n$3.30, at least then, when I <\/p>\n

658
\n00:45:14,900 –> 00:45:19,200
\nreturned, you could have
\nprovided me with this $3.30. <\/p>\n

659
\n00:45:20,500 –> 00:45:25,800
\nBut your view was so skewed, it
\nwas so wrong and so full of <\/p>\n

660
\n00:45:25,900 –> 00:45:31,100
\nignorance actually and fear and
\ndoubt that you did nothing. <\/p>\n

661
\n00:45:32,000 –> 00:45:36,600
\nBut just a trickle of Interest
\nwould have filled me with joy <\/p>\n

662
\n00:45:36,600 –> 00:45:39,400
\nand you would be there with the
\nother two servants. <\/p>\n

663
\n00:45:43,600 –> 00:45:47,200
\nYou know, Jesus says these
\nbeautiful words to us all worth <\/p>\n

664
\n00:45:47,200 –> 00:45:53,500
\nputting on a squishy plug.
\nHe says fear not fear. <\/p>\n

665
\n00:45:53,500 –> 00:46:01,200
\nNot do not be afraid Little
\nFlock for your father is pleased<\/p>\n

666
\n00:46:01,300 –> 00:46:04,400
\nto give you the kingdom, you
\nsee? <\/p>\n

667
\n00:46:06,200 –> 00:46:09,000
\nGod is glad to give us the
\nkingdom. <\/p>\n

668
\n00:46:09,400 –> 00:46:14,000
\nI mean he is a true father
\nbetter than any human dad, <\/p>\n

669
\n00:46:14,300 –> 00:46:18,800
\nbetter than any human mother.
\nHe is, well, content is what <\/p>\n

670
\n00:46:18,800 –> 00:46:20,500
\nthat means.
\nHe’s pleased, he is well, <\/p>\n

671
\n00:46:20,500 –> 00:46:24,600
\ncontent to give us the kingdom.
\nHe prefers to give us the <\/p>\n

672
\n00:46:24,600 –> 00:46:29,500
\nkingdom to all other options.
\nGod takes Delight in giving us <\/p>\n

673
\n00:46:29,500 –> 00:46:33,400
\nthe kingdom, but there is one
\nthing that he cannot take <\/p>\n

674
\n00:46:33,400 –> 00:46:37,400
\nDelight in and it’s imperative.
\nA matter of life and death that <\/p>\n

675
\n00:46:37,400 –> 00:46:41,600
\nwe understand and believe it
\nthat it’s impossible to please <\/p>\n

676
\n00:46:41,600 –> 00:46:46,900
\nGod, if we allow our irrational
\ndoubts to defeat our faith in <\/p>\n

677
\n00:46:46,900 –> 00:46:51,900
\nhim.
\nHebrews 11 verse 6 says, without<\/p>\n

678
\n00:46:51,900 –> 00:46:55,600
\nfaith.
\nIt is impossible to please him. <\/p>\n

679
\n00:46:56,100 –> 00:47:00,000
\nFor whoever would draw near to,
\nGod must believe that he exists <\/p>\n

680
\n00:47:00,000 –> 00:47:04,000
\nnumber one, and that he rewards
\nthose who seek him. <\/p>\n

681
\n00:47:04,400 –> 00:47:06,300
\nYou know what?
\nIt doesn’t say without faith, <\/p>\n

682
\n00:47:06,500 –> 00:47:11,100
\nIt’s Tricky.
\nIt doesn’t say without faith. <\/p>\n

683
\n00:47:11,100 –> 00:47:14,100
\nIt’s real difficult to please.
\nGod. <\/p>\n

684
\n00:47:14,100 –> 00:47:19,000
\nNo, it says without faith.
\nIt’s impossible to please God. <\/p>\n

685
\n00:47:19,500 –> 00:47:21,400
\nAnd so, we’re going to ask
\nourselves some important <\/p>\n

686
\n00:47:21,400 –> 00:47:24,800
\nquestions.
\nWho wants to please God, you <\/p>\n

687
\n00:47:24,800 –> 00:47:27,300
\ndon’t have to put up your hand.
\nI am, I can do it. <\/p>\n

688
\n00:47:27,400 –> 00:47:30,100
\nOkay.
\nWe have one we all do, right. <\/p>\n

689
\n00:47:30,100 –> 00:47:35,000
\nWe all want to please God.
\nWe all want to bring Delight to <\/p>\n

690
\n00:47:35,000 –> 00:47:36,500
\nOur Father in Heaven.
\nDon’t we? <\/p>\n

691
\n00:47:36,500 –> 00:47:38,000
\nWe all do.
\nOf course we do. <\/p>\n

692
\n00:47:38,400 –> 00:47:41,600
\nQuestion 2.
\nDo you believe in God that he <\/p>\n

693
\n00:47:41,600 –> 00:47:43,600
\nexists?
\nYes, of course. <\/p>\n

694
\n00:47:45,000 –> 00:47:47,300
\nQuestion 3.
\nDo we believe that God rewards <\/p>\n

695
\n00:47:47,300 –> 00:47:51,000
\nthose who earnestly seek him?
\nYes, of course, right. <\/p>\n

696
\n00:47:51,900 –> 00:47:55,400
\nBut the real question is this
\nnumber four. <\/p>\n

697
\n00:47:55,500 –> 00:47:59,800
\nDo you believe that God will
\nreward you for earnestly seeking<\/p>\n

698
\n00:47:59,800 –> 00:48:02,300
\nhim.
\nThat’s the real question. <\/p>\n

699
\n00:48:03,800 –> 00:48:06,900
\nAnd that is the question that we
\nstruggle with, isn’t it? <\/p>\n

700
\n00:48:07,900 –> 00:48:11,300
\nBecause our struggle is no.
\nSome it’s not so much believing <\/p>\n

701
\n00:48:11,300 –> 00:48:14,500
\nin his existence.
\nAlthough it is for some butt. <\/p>\n

702
\n00:48:14,700 –> 00:48:18,900
\nBut it’s not so much that nor is
\nit the struggle to believe that <\/p>\n

703
\n00:48:18,900 –> 00:48:23,400
\nGod will reward others.
\nOur struggle is believing that <\/p>\n

704
\n00:48:23,400 –> 00:48:26,900
\nGod is pleased and Overjoyed to
\nreward me. <\/p>\n

705
\n00:48:26,900 –> 00:48:32,800
\nAnd you personally, that’s a
\nstruggle and this is what God <\/p>\n

706
\n00:48:32,800 –> 00:48:36,700
\nhas to contend with.
\nIsn’t it each day dealing with <\/p>\n

707
\n00:48:36,700 –> 00:48:39,700
\nour weaknesses for which he
\nknows all too well. <\/p>\n

708
\n00:48:40,700 –> 00:48:46,200
\nAnd our doubts and our unbelief
\nbecause you see our spirit is <\/p>\n

709
\n00:48:46,200 –> 00:48:50,500
\nwilling to go all the way with
\nGod, but our flesh is so weak, <\/p>\n

710
\n00:48:50,800 –> 00:48:53,400
\nisn’t it?
\nAnd so, in our hearts, we cry <\/p>\n

711
\n00:48:53,400 –> 00:48:57,100
\nout to God.
\nLord, I believe, please help my <\/p>\n

712
\n00:48:57,100 –> 00:49:01,800
\nunbelief do something, please.
\nGod to just keep my doubts at <\/p>\n

713
\n00:49:01,800 –> 00:49:03,000
\nbay.
\nThat’s a fine. <\/p>\n

714
\n00:49:03,000 –> 00:49:05,800
\nPredator-prey, don’t you think?
\nThat’s okay. <\/p>\n

715
\n00:49:08,500 –> 00:49:10,900
\nSometimes we almost have an
\ninnate resistance. <\/p>\n

716
\n00:49:10,900 –> 00:49:15,200
\nDon’t we, we have this innate
\nresistance to presume God’s <\/p>\n

717
\n00:49:15,200 –> 00:49:18,800
\nrewards on ourselves.
\nWe don’t like to presume God’s <\/p>\n

718
\n00:49:18,800 –> 00:49:23,600
\nrewards on ourselves, do we?
\nBut God wants us to see him just<\/p>\n

719
\n00:49:23,600 –> 00:49:27,800
\nlike our own capable fathers and
\nmothers. <\/p>\n

720
\n00:49:29,700 –> 00:49:34,000
\nEven though they actually are
\nfar less capable than Almighty <\/p>\n

721
\n00:49:34,000 –> 00:49:36,600
\nFather in heaven.
\nSo, it’s irrational. <\/p>\n

722
\n00:49:36,700 –> 00:49:41,100
\nTherefore Case Closed to think
\nthat it is not God’s good <\/p>\n

723
\n00:49:41,100 –> 00:49:45,700
\npleasure to give us the kingdom
\nof God, as our true father. <\/p>\n

724
\n00:49:46,900 –> 00:49:49,900
\nYou know, sometimes we steer
\naway from, from what we might <\/p>\n

725
\n00:49:49,900 –> 00:49:53,500
\ncall a churchy expression like I
\nhave been saved. <\/p>\n

726
\n00:49:54,800 –> 00:49:59,000
\nWe dismissed them as churchy or
\npresumptuous. <\/p>\n

727
\n00:49:59,900 –> 00:50:03,200
\nBut here in this verse God is
\nsaying that you cannot you <\/p>\n

728
\n00:50:03,200 –> 00:50:08,000
\ncannot please me unless you have
\nfaith and believe. <\/p>\n

729
\n00:50:09,500 –> 00:50:12,700
\nUnless you have faith and
\nbelieve in my reward. <\/p>\n

730
\n00:50:13,700 –> 00:50:18,000
\nSo that as my mum said, is not
\nsuch a good saying, but put that<\/p>\n

731
\n00:50:18,000 –> 00:50:22,800
\nin your pipe and smoke it.
\nOkay, I might be corrected after<\/p>\n

732
\n00:50:22,800 –> 00:50:26,200
\nthis talk for actually saying
\nthat, but there seems to be some<\/p>\n

733
\n00:50:26,200 –> 00:50:28,300
\nsmiles from the hosts.
\nWe’re all fine. <\/p>\n

734
\n00:50:28,300 –> 00:50:29,500
\nClear.
\nWe’re in the clear. <\/p>\n

735
\n00:50:31,200 –> 00:50:36,000
\nIt was a bubble pipe.
\nIt wasn’t anything anyway. <\/p>\n

736
\n00:50:38,700 –> 00:50:44,200
\nSo back on track.
\nSo God is actually saying isn’t <\/p>\n

737
\n00:50:44,200 –> 00:50:47,200
\nhe?
\nYou must believe in me. <\/p>\n

738
\n00:50:48,200 –> 00:50:52,500
\nAnd in order to encourage you or
\nwant you to understand that I <\/p>\n

739
\n00:50:52,500 –> 00:50:56,200
\nlove to reward.
\nIt’s my joy to reward you. <\/p>\n

740
\n00:50:56,200 –> 00:51:00,500
\nSo seek me, so crave me and I’m
\ngoing to show you things that no<\/p>\n

741
\n00:51:00,500 –> 00:51:04,400
\nmortal eye has ever seen, or is
\never heard. <\/p>\n

742
\n00:51:04,600 –> 00:51:06,600
\nAll the things that I have
\nplanned for. <\/p>\n

743
\n00:51:06,600 –> 00:51:11,900
\nYou says God.
\nLove me and my son and find out.<\/p>\n

744
\n00:51:13,100 –> 00:51:16,900
\nSays God.
\nNow, I’ve been given the <\/p>\n

745
\n00:51:16,900 –> 00:51:19,200
\ntimeout.
\nSo I’ve got a I’ve got to stop <\/p>\n

746
\n00:51:19,200 –> 00:51:21,700
\nhere.
\nSo I’ll finish on this think <\/p>\n

747
\n00:51:21,700 –> 00:51:24,800
\nabout it.
\nIt is far better. <\/p>\n

748
\n00:51:24,800 –> 00:51:30,400
\nIsn’t it far lesser risk to
\nbelieve in God’s love for you <\/p>\n

749
\n00:51:30,400 –> 00:51:36,100
\nthan it is to doubt it?
\nBecause the worst thing that <\/p>\n

750
\n00:51:36,100 –> 00:51:39,700
\nwill happen to you for believing
\nits eternal life. <\/p>\n

751
\n00:51:40,800 –> 00:51:42,300
\nAll right.
