Class 1 from this series was used for GCT Episode 250<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:02,600 –> 00:00:04,400
\nagain.
\nThere’s a few more faces in the <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:04,400 –> 00:00:06,720
\naudience.
\nToday so that’s it’s very nice <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:06,720 –> 00:00:09,000
\nand I hope that.
\nYou can see the. <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:09,080 –> 00:00:14,360
\nThe wonderful love and and power
\nin in this subject, brothers and<\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:14,360 –> 00:00:18,760
\nsisters.
\nSo you might remember yesterday <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:19,080 –> 00:00:20,560
\nfor those that weren’t here,
\njust a. <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:21,080 –> 00:00:23,760
\nA quick recap.
\nWe looked at how forgiveness <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:23,760 –> 00:00:26,440
\nworks.
\nWe looked at the the the <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:26,440 –> 00:00:28,270
\nconditions.
\nThat are a. <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:28,270 –> 00:00:30,350
\nPart of this process God’s
\nrighteous. <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:30,350 –> 00:00:36,710
\nRequirements, and they are.
\nThose three steps the. <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:36,710 –> 00:00:39,470
\nConfession of sin.
\nWe then looked at. <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:39,470 –> 00:00:41,110
\nRepentance.
\nThat is to have. <\/p>\n
15
\n00:00:41,110 –> 00:00:44,790
\nA change of heart and then
\nconversion to turn away. <\/p>\n
16
\n00:00:45,190 –> 00:00:48,470
\nAnd walk.
\nIn the opposite direction, so. <\/p>\n
17
\n00:00:48,670 –> 00:00:53,270
\nIt really is a 180 degree turn.
\nIt’s it’s an acknowledgement <\/p>\n
18
\n00:00:53,270 –> 00:00:55,470
\nthat we need to put something
\nelse in our lives. <\/p>\n
19
\n00:00:57,200 –> 00:00:59,400
\nApart from our previous.
\nLifestyle or. <\/p>\n
20
\n00:00:59,400 –> 00:01:03,240
\nOur previous behaviors and of
\ncourse God ordained this process<\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:04,319 –> 00:01:05,600
\nand because.
\nThis is a divine. <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:05,600 –> 00:01:08,640
\nProcess it also.
\nHas some very, very. <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:09,120 –> 00:01:12,840
\nDeep psychological reasoning
\nbehind it, which we probably to <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:12,840 –> 00:01:14,280
\nlarge.
\nExtent don’t understand. <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:15,400 –> 00:01:16,920
\nBut God and his.
\nWisdom has asked. <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:16,920 –> 00:01:19,920
\nUs to go through that process
\nthat we might learn. <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:20,240 –> 00:01:23,080
\nWithin that process to turn from
\nsin, not just to. <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:23,790 –> 00:01:27,190
\nTo to repeat the offence over
\nand over again, even though God <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:27,190 –> 00:01:31,990
\nwill forgive He, of course.
\nWants us to turn from sin in the<\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:31,990 –> 00:01:36,830
\nend.
\nSo the need of forgiveness and <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:36,830 –> 00:01:39,270
\nhow all this?
\nWorks in the lives of a. <\/p>\n
32
\n00:01:39,350 –> 00:01:42,310
\nFew biblical characters which
\nwe’re we’re going to. <\/p>\n
33
\n00:01:42,310 –> 00:01:45,270
\nLook at this session now.
\nYou might remember also from our<\/p>\n
34
\n00:01:45,270 –> 00:01:47,390
\nlast class.
\nIt’s really, really important. <\/p>\n
35
\n00:01:47,390 –> 00:01:51,430
\nFor us to know what it is that.
\nDisconnects us from God. <\/p>\n
36
\n00:01:52,670 –> 00:01:54,070
\nWell, let me tell you what it’s
\nnot. <\/p>\n
37
\n00:01:54,670 –> 00:01:59,790
\nIt’s not our nature.
\nIt’s God is at. <\/p>\n
38
\n00:01:59,790 –> 00:02:04,430
\nPains in the Bible to stress to
\nus that it’s not our mortality. <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:04,430 –> 00:02:06,590
\nHe has a.
\nProblem with even though it is a<\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:06,590 –> 00:02:08,389
\nproblem.
\nIt’s that’s not what the problem<\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:08,389 –> 00:02:10,190
\nis.
\nIt’s the sin. <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:10,190 –> 00:02:13,870
\nThat he’s aggrieved with that
\nour nature produces, if you <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:13,870 –> 00:02:15,790
\nlike.
\nIt’s it’s. <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:16,070 –> 00:02:17,950
\nIt’s not the state.
\nWe’ve born into. <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:18,760 –> 00:02:21,520
\nSo as I 59 and verse one says
\nthis, it says behold. <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:21,520 –> 00:02:24,120
\nYahweh’s hand is not.
\nShortened that it cannot. <\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:24,120 –> 00:02:30,920
\nSave neither his ear heavy.
\nThen it cannot hear. <\/p>\n
48
\n00:02:31,120 –> 00:02:36,000
\nBut your iniquities.
\nHave separated between. <\/p>\n
49
\n00:02:36,000 –> 00:02:40,080
\nYou and.
\nYour God and your sin, your <\/p>\n
50
\n00:02:40,080 –> 00:02:42,120
\nsins.
\nHave hid his face. <\/p>\n
51
\n00:02:42,120 –> 00:02:43,680
\nFrom you that he will not.
\nHear. <\/p>\n
52
\n00:02:46,460 –> 00:02:48,460
\nOf course, as we mentioned
\nbefore, don’t don’t be fooled <\/p>\n
53
\n00:02:48,460 –> 00:02:51,020
\nabout this.
\nOf course our nature is a <\/p>\n
54
\n00:02:51,020 –> 00:02:52,540
\nproblem.
\nIt’s a big problem. <\/p>\n
55
\n00:02:54,620 –> 00:02:57,380
\nBut the so the.
\nCarnal mind or the nature? <\/p>\n
56
\n00:02:57,380 –> 00:02:59,740
\nThat we’re we’re born with it is
\nterrible. <\/p>\n
57
\n00:02:59,740 –> 00:03:03,420
\nBiases and tendencies.
\nOr disabilities, if you like. <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:04,300 –> 00:03:05,940
\nSo in a very real sense, we are
\nall. <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:05,940 –> 00:03:08,740
\nBorn with this disability.
\nWe mentioned David last night <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:08,740 –> 00:03:12,220
\nthat he said he has a loathsome.
\nDisease in his in his loins, and<\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:12,620 –> 00:03:15,300
\nthat he’s passing on.
\nTo his children, he can can do <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:15,300 –> 00:03:19,610
\nanything about it.
\nSo of course this is all going <\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:19,610 –> 00:03:22,850
\nto change, says Paul’s.
\nOur our chairman mentioned in <\/p>\n
64
\n00:03:22,850 –> 00:03:25,170
\nhis prayer in In the twinkling
\nof an eye. <\/p>\n
65
\n00:03:25,850 –> 00:03:30,530
\nOur nature will be changed.
\nGod’s real problem Problem is <\/p>\n
66
\n00:03:30,530 –> 00:03:33,490
\nwhen we.
\nWhat the Bible calls allow sin <\/p>\n
67
\n00:03:33,490 –> 00:03:35,170
\nto.
\nReign in our members. <\/p>\n
68
\n00:03:36,850 –> 00:03:39,290
\nReign like a despot, A ruler, a
\nking. <\/p>\n
69
\n00:03:40,850 –> 00:03:42,930
\nThat’s what God’s problem.
\nIs and we become. <\/p>\n
70
\n00:03:42,930 –> 00:03:45,090
\nWe come.
\nUnder the bondage of. <\/p>\n
71
\n00:03:45,590 –> 00:03:49,990
\nHabitual sin.
\nLawlessness and we all. <\/p>\n
72
\n00:03:49,990 –> 00:03:53,990
\nSin, we all sin.
\nRepeatedly the problem. <\/p>\n
73
\n00:03:53,990 –> 00:03:57,230
\nIs is when we give in.
\nTo our nature. <\/p>\n
74
\n00:03:57,230 –> 00:03:59,550
\nWe give in, we.
\nStop trying to replace that <\/p>\n
75
\n00:03:59,550 –> 00:04:02,630
\ninherent bias that we have.
\nWith God’s remedy. <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:04,190 –> 00:04:10,830
\nThat we find ourselves.
\nIn an unforgivable state, so <\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:10,830 –> 00:04:16,950
\nlawlessness and habitual sin.
\nGod really wants us to work hard<\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:17,430 –> 00:04:19,670
\nat overcoming those things and
\nturn away from those. <\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:19,670 –> 00:04:21,390
\nThings.
\nThat doesn’t mean, of course, <\/p>\n
80
\n00:04:21,390 –> 00:04:22,510
\nthat we’re going to stop
\nsitting. <\/p>\n
81
\n00:04:22,510 –> 00:04:27,470
\nOf course we will.
\nBut lawlessness implies. <\/p>\n
82
\n00:04:28,230 –> 00:04:31,350
\nThat we don’t really.
\nCare and that we’ve completely <\/p>\n
83
\n00:04:31,350 –> 00:04:34,030
\ngiven in.
\nWe will never overcome brothers <\/p>\n
84
\n00:04:34,030 –> 00:04:35,910
\nand sisters, with sheer
\nwillpower. <\/p>\n
85
\n00:04:36,630 –> 00:04:38,750
\nBut the golden.
\nKey is to replace. <\/p>\n
86
\n00:04:39,370 –> 00:04:41,610
\nReplace the natural.
\nWith the spiritual. <\/p>\n
87
\n00:04:41,730 –> 00:04:44,050
\nSo it’s going to be a
\ncombination of prayer and the <\/p>\n
88
\n00:04:44,050 –> 00:04:46,530
\nword, in other words.
\nA relationship with God. <\/p>\n
89
\n00:04:47,410 –> 00:04:51,650
\nThat’s what this is about.
\nIt’s what our nature produces. <\/p>\n
90
\n00:04:51,970 –> 00:04:54,130
\nThat God finds abhorrent and
\nrepulsive. <\/p>\n
91
\n00:04:54,210 –> 00:04:56,330
\nIn fact, so much so that he
\ncannot look. <\/p>\n
92
\n00:04:56,330 –> 00:05:00,810
\nUpon sin himself.
\nThe question is, do we see? <\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:00,810 –> 00:05:04,170
\nSin in that same.
\nLight the answer if we’re <\/p>\n
94
\n00:05:04,170 –> 00:05:04,970
\nhonest.
\nWe’re going to say. <\/p>\n
95
\n00:05:04,970 –> 00:05:07,210
\nNo, we don’t, because it’s a
\npart. <\/p>\n
96
\n00:05:07,210 –> 00:05:10,390
\nOf our thinking processes.
\nBut what the Bible does is <\/p>\n
97
\n00:05:10,390 –> 00:05:13,790
\nhighlight to us.
\nOur inherent biases. <\/p>\n
98
\n00:05:13,790 –> 00:05:16,430
\nAnd then we can start to see it,
\nwhich is exactly the purpose of <\/p>\n
99
\n00:05:16,430 –> 00:05:18,950
\nthe law to highlight sin for.
\nWhat it really is. <\/p>\n
100
\n00:05:19,070 –> 00:05:21,310
\nSo in a natural fact, it’s an
\nact of mercy. <\/p>\n
101
\n00:05:21,470 –> 00:05:24,270
\nOn God’s part to.
\nHighlight this to us because <\/p>\n
102
\n00:05:24,350 –> 00:05:28,510
\nhe’s trying to save us.
\nFrom our own selves. <\/p>\n
103
\n00:05:29,990 –> 00:05:31,470
\nJust have a think about it for a
\nminute some of the. <\/p>\n
104
\n00:05:32,230 –> 00:05:35,230
\nSome of the wonderful.
\nProducts, if you like, of our <\/p>\n
105
\n00:05:35,230 –> 00:05:39,150
\nnature, you know.
\nYou don’t have to turn the the <\/p>\n
106
\n00:05:39,150 –> 00:05:40,430
\nnews on.
\nVery much to hear. <\/p>\n
107
\n00:05:40,430 –> 00:05:41,910
\nHear these things.
\nMurder. <\/p>\n
108
\n00:05:45,310 –> 00:05:47,070
\nYou know, obviously.
\nSpring’s out, it could be <\/p>\n
109
\n00:05:47,070 –> 00:05:50,190
\nenvious and you might say.
\nTo yourself. <\/p>\n
110
\n00:05:50,190 –> 00:05:53,550
\nWell, that’s that’s I’ve never,
\nnever murdered. <\/p>\n
111
\n00:05:53,550 –> 00:05:55,830
\nAnybody.
\nWell, actually. <\/p>\n
112
\n00:05:57,590 –> 00:05:58,510
\nThat’s not I had not.
\nHeard. <\/p>\n
113
\n00:05:58,510 –> 00:05:59,870
\nJohn says it.
\nJohn says. <\/p>\n
114
\n00:06:00,110 –> 00:06:04,110
\nIf you hate your brother, God
\nconsiders that as murder. <\/p>\n
115
\n00:06:05,350 –> 00:06:06,950
\nCan God forgive that?
\nOf course he can. <\/p>\n
116
\n00:06:08,450 –> 00:06:11,890
\nEnvious we’ve become.
\nEnvious We’ve covetous. <\/p>\n
117
\n00:06:13,610 –> 00:06:17,010
\nWhat about adultery?
\nThat’s a. <\/p>\n
118
\n00:06:17,210 –> 00:06:19,130
\nBig problem in the world in
\nwhich we live. <\/p>\n
119
\n00:06:19,410 –> 00:06:22,410
\nUnfaithfulness and I.
\nDon’t necessarily mean a <\/p>\n
120
\n00:06:22,570 –> 00:06:26,010
\nliteral.
\nAdultery, adultery of the mind. <\/p>\n
121
\n00:06:27,130 –> 00:06:28,530
\nJust ask the question for
\nyourself. <\/p>\n
122
\n00:06:29,050 –> 00:06:30,970
\nBrethren.
\nAnd sisters, particularly <\/p>\n
123
\n00:06:30,970 –> 00:06:31,690
\nbrethren, because.
\nI’m a man. <\/p>\n
124
\n00:06:31,690 –> 00:06:36,250
\nI understand the wretchedness of
\nof a male brain, so to speak. <\/p>\n
125
\n00:06:36,950 –> 00:06:40,310
\nAnd you think about.
\nThis when one was brought. <\/p>\n
126
\n00:06:40,430 –> 00:06:42,790
\nIn taken with adultery.
\nTo Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
127
\n00:06:44,590 –> 00:06:49,150
\nAnd he said to them, he that is
\nwithout sin cast the first <\/p>\n
128
\n00:06:49,150 –> 00:06:55,590
\nstone, and they went out from.
\nThe. <\/p>\n
129
\n00:06:55,710 –> 00:07:00,830
\nOldest to the youngest, so the
\noldest man said well. <\/p>\n
130
\n00:07:00,990 –> 00:07:02,030
\nI can’t.
\nCertainly can’t. <\/p>\n
131
\n00:07:02,030 –> 00:07:03,990
\nThrow a stone.
\nAs far as this is concerned. <\/p>\n
132
\n00:07:05,390 –> 00:07:06,750
\nThe Bible was.
\nVery, very. <\/p>\n
133
\n00:07:07,150 –> 00:07:09,150
\nSuccinct and what it?
\nSays, tells us next. <\/p>\n
134
\n00:07:09,150 –> 00:07:12,390
\nIt says and there.
\nWas no man. <\/p>\n
135
\n00:07:14,790 –> 00:07:18,430
\nLeft in the midst.
\nThat’s honesty No man left <\/p>\n
136
\n00:07:18,430 –> 00:07:21,230
\nthere.
\nSuch is the nature. <\/p>\n
137
\n00:07:21,630 –> 00:07:26,870
\nThat we have fornication, anger,
\njealousy, backbiters. <\/p>\n
138
\n00:07:26,870 –> 00:07:30,830
\nHaters of God.
\nAnd for man says I love God. <\/p>\n
139
\n00:07:30,830 –> 00:07:33,230
\nBut hates his brother.
\nSays John. <\/p>\n
140
\n00:07:33,230 –> 00:07:36,450
\nHe’s a liar.
\nSo we’re guilty of all these? <\/p>\n
141
\n00:07:36,450 –> 00:07:41,370
\nThings spiteful, proud.
\nEtcetera, etcetera. <\/p>\n
142
\n00:07:41,370 –> 00:07:43,610
\nWe could, we’re not here to talk
\nabout a list of how bad we are. <\/p>\n
143
\n00:07:43,610 –> 00:07:47,850
\nWe already know.
\nSo then how great is our need? <\/p>\n
144
\n00:07:47,850 –> 00:07:50,930
\nFor forgiveness.
\nWhat about Jesus Christ? <\/p>\n
145
\n00:07:50,930 –> 00:07:53,490
\nDid he?
\nWhat did he do about this? <\/p>\n
146
\n00:07:54,250 –> 00:07:55,850
\nWell?
\nEffectively, he never allowed. <\/p>\n
147
\n00:07:55,850 –> 00:07:59,090
\nHimself.
\nTo be in that bondage, that’s <\/p>\n
148
\n00:07:59,090 –> 00:08:00,730
\nwhat he’d never.
\nAllowed king sin. <\/p>\n
149
\n00:08:01,280 –> 00:08:04,920
\nTo give him one whiplash,
\nmentally speaking, spiritually <\/p>\n
150
\n00:08:04,920 –> 00:08:11,240
\nspeaking, never did.
\nThus it is written you. <\/p>\n
151
\n00:08:11,240 –> 00:08:13,640
\nRemember, the occasion was.
\nJesus out was He was out with <\/p>\n
152
\n00:08:13,640 –> 00:08:17,240
\nhis disciples one day and.
\nThey came across a. <\/p>\n
153
\n00:08:17,240 –> 00:08:22,000
\nMan who had a problem from
\nbirth, so he’s born with this <\/p>\n
154
\n00:08:22,000 –> 00:08:23,880
\nissue.
\nHe was blind. <\/p>\n
155
\n00:08:25,640 –> 00:08:27,640
\nHere’s how it reads in.
\nFact Let me put it up on the <\/p>\n
156
\n00:08:27,640 –> 00:08:29,960
\nscreen there.
\nIt reads like this. <\/p>\n
157
\n00:08:30,420 –> 00:08:32,340
\nAnd as Jesus passed by, he saw
\na. <\/p>\n
158
\n00:08:32,380 –> 00:08:36,020
\nMan.
\nWho was blind from his from his <\/p>\n
159
\n00:08:36,020 –> 00:08:39,260
\nbirth, and his disciples asked
\nhim, saying Master, who did? <\/p>\n
160
\n00:08:39,260 –> 00:08:43,100
\nSin this man or his parents,
\nthat he was born? <\/p>\n
161
\n00:08:43,100 –> 00:08:47,700
\nBlind you see the understanding
\nthat the disciples had. <\/p>\n
162
\n00:08:48,260 –> 00:08:51,660
\nVery, very deeply.
\nIngrained in in that particular <\/p>\n
163
\n00:08:51,660 –> 00:08:53,980
\nculture at that time.
\nSo the question is this. <\/p>\n
164
\n00:08:54,900 –> 00:08:58,500
\nIs this man disabled from birth
\nbecause his parents did <\/p>\n
165
\n00:08:58,500 –> 00:09:01,970
\nsomething wrong?
\nAnd this is God’s answer to them<\/p>\n
166
\n00:09:02,690 –> 00:09:06,090
\nor?
\nIs this man disabled from birth <\/p>\n
167
\n00:09:06,130 –> 00:09:07,530
\nbecause God knew he was going
\nto? <\/p>\n
168
\n00:09:07,530 –> 00:09:09,330
\nDo something wrong so.
\nHe was disabled. <\/p>\n
169
\n00:09:09,330 –> 00:09:14,130
\nFrom birth.
\nAnd the answer to the both of <\/p>\n
170
\n00:09:14,130 –> 00:09:16,850
\nthose things is neither hath
\nthis. <\/p>\n
171
\n00:09:16,850 –> 00:09:19,810
\nMan sinned or his parents?
\nHe doesn’t mean that they’ve <\/p>\n
172
\n00:09:19,810 –> 00:09:21,450
\nnever sinned.
\nHe says there was no. <\/p>\n
173
\n00:09:21,450 –> 00:09:24,650
\nParticular thing.
\nThis issue was not brought upon <\/p>\n
174
\n00:09:24,650 –> 00:09:25,810
\nhim because of.
\nSin. <\/p>\n
175
\n00:09:27,390 –> 00:09:30,990
\nBut that the works of God this
\nis the answer should be made. <\/p>\n
176
\n00:09:30,990 –> 00:09:36,590
\nManifest in him that.
\nIs exactly the same for you and <\/p>\n
177
\n00:09:36,590 –> 00:09:42,670
\nI remember we said that this is.
\nAll about God manifestation. <\/p>\n
178
\n00:09:42,830 –> 00:09:45,950
\nGod working within us, creating
\nwithin us a good. <\/p>\n
179
\n00:09:45,950 –> 00:09:55,190
\nWork and our eyes are opened.
\nSo this is what? <\/p>\n
180
\n00:09:57,130 –> 00:09:59,010
\nBrother John Thomas said about
\nour nature. <\/p>\n
181
\n00:09:59,010 –> 00:10:01,810
\nHe said human nature or sinful
\nflesh. <\/p>\n
182
\n00:10:02,010 –> 00:10:04,890
\nHas three.
\nPrincipal channels through which<\/p>\n
183
\n00:10:04,890 –> 00:10:08,170
\nit displays its waywardness
\nagainst the law. <\/p>\n
184
\n00:10:08,170 –> 00:10:11,730
\nOf God.
\nThese are expressed by the lust <\/p>\n
185
\n00:10:11,730 –> 00:10:14,570
\nof the flesh, the lust of the
\neyes, and the pride of life. <\/p>\n
186
\n00:10:15,650 –> 00:10:18,810
\nAll that is in the world stands
\nrelated to these points of our <\/p>\n
187
\n00:10:18,810 –> 00:10:20,570
\nnature.
\nThere is no. <\/p>\n
188
\n00:10:20,570 –> 00:10:25,210
\nTemptation that can be devised.
\nBut what a sales in one or more?<\/p>\n
189
\n00:10:25,210 –> 00:10:28,450
\nOf these three particulars,
\nmeaning everything we do will <\/p>\n
190
\n00:10:28,450 –> 00:10:31,730
\nfall into.
\nOne of those. 3 categories this <\/p>\n
191
\n00:10:31,730 –> 00:10:33,530
\nsinful.
\nNature we inherit. <\/p>\n
192
\n00:10:34,290 –> 00:10:36,570
\nIt is our.
\nMisfortune not. <\/p>\n
193
\n00:10:36,650 –> 00:10:41,530
\nOur crime, that we possess it,
\nwe’re only blameworthy. <\/p>\n
194
\n00:10:43,210 –> 00:10:46,690
\nWhen being supplied.
\nWith the power of subduing it. <\/p>\n
195
\n00:10:48,090 –> 00:10:51,090
\nWe permit it to reign over us,
\nthis power. <\/p>\n
196
\n00:10:51,780 –> 00:10:59,820
\nThis power resides in.
\nThe testimony of God, so that we<\/p>\n
197
\n00:10:59,820 –> 00:11:02,340
\nare kept by the power.
\nOf God through. <\/p>\n
198
\n00:11:02,340 –> 00:11:06,180
\nFaith unto salvation our job,
\nbrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n
199
\n00:11:06,780 –> 00:11:08,540
\nIs not to fix.
\nOurselves. <\/p>\n
200
\n00:11:09,460 –> 00:11:14,100
\nIs to suppress and the only
\nthing in the world that will <\/p>\n
201
\n00:11:14,100 –> 00:11:16,020
\nsuppress.
\nIt honestly. <\/p>\n
202
\n00:11:16,020 –> 00:11:18,700
\nAnd truthfully, is not you, not
\nyour willpower. <\/p>\n
203
\n00:11:18,860 –> 00:11:22,600
\nIt’s this book.
\nThat’s the answer. <\/p>\n
204
\n00:11:23,120 –> 00:11:26,760
\nSo through no fault of our own.
\nAre we born with this <\/p>\n
205
\n00:11:26,760 –> 00:11:31,000
\naffliction?
\nIt’s neither our crime or our <\/p>\n
206
\n00:11:31,000 –> 00:11:33,560
\nparents.
\nBut we are all in this state, <\/p>\n
207
\n00:11:33,640 –> 00:11:36,240
\nwhether we’d like it or we or
\nwe. <\/p>\n
208
\n00:11:36,240 –> 00:11:38,480
\nDon’t like it?
\nSo so. <\/p>\n
209
\n00:11:38,480 –> 00:11:40,920
\nHere’s in Here’s our nature, the
\ncarnal mind. <\/p>\n
210
\n00:11:41,080 –> 00:11:42,960
\nOur nature.
\nIs basically untamable, <\/p>\n
211
\n00:11:43,560 –> 00:11:47,360
\nuntamable.
\nYou can’t work with it. <\/p>\n
212
\n00:11:50,870 –> 00:11:53,110
\nIt’s probably true to say a dog
\nis more trainable. <\/p>\n
213
\n00:11:53,110 –> 00:11:55,310
\nThan our.
\nBasic core nature. <\/p>\n
214
\n00:11:58,230 –> 00:12:03,230
\nWe cannot make it good, we.
\nCan’t clean it ourselves. <\/p>\n
215
\n00:12:03,710 –> 00:12:07,470
\nIt’s born selfish.
\nIt dies selfish. <\/p>\n
216
\n00:12:07,990 –> 00:12:10,750
\nIt can only be subdued or
\nrestrained. <\/p>\n
217
\n00:12:10,750 –> 00:12:13,870
\nBy God’s word.
\nBut it still even then remains. <\/p>\n
218
\n00:12:13,870 –> 00:12:15,710
\nVery, very.
\nSelfish even then. <\/p>\n
219
\n00:12:19,740 –> 00:12:22,380
\nAnd that’s why Paul says about
\nhimself. <\/p>\n
220
\n00:12:22,380 –> 00:12:23,980
\nHe says.
\nI’m a Wretch. <\/p>\n
221
\n00:12:25,100 –> 00:12:27,700
\nI’m a thorough.
\nWretch because everything I want<\/p>\n
222
\n00:12:27,700 –> 00:12:30,220
\nto do right I don’t seem to do
\nand everything I I. <\/p>\n
223
\n00:12:30,620 –> 00:12:33,940
\nI don’t want to do.
\nI seem to do that’s Paul the <\/p>\n
224
\n00:12:33,940 –> 00:12:38,740
\napostle.
\nSeeing himself or. <\/p>\n
225
\n00:12:38,740 –> 00:12:42,220
\nWhat he really was.
\nSo Paul the Apostle puts it <\/p>\n
226
\n00:12:42,220 –> 00:12:44,180
\nthis.
\nWay in terms of the carnal mind,<\/p>\n
227
\n00:12:44,180 –> 00:12:45,830
\nhe says.
\nFor to be. <\/p>\n
228
\n00:12:45,830 –> 00:12:48,710
\nCarnally minded.
\nIs death but to be spiritually? <\/p>\n
229
\n00:12:48,710 –> 00:12:50,590
\nMinded is life and.
\nPeace. <\/p>\n
230
\n00:12:50,790 –> 00:12:53,790
\nWhat a contrast that is, because
\nthe carnal mind. <\/p>\n
231
\n00:12:53,790 –> 00:12:56,470
\nIs enmity against God, for it is
\nnot. <\/p>\n
232
\n00:12:56,470 –> 00:12:58,470
\nSubject to the law.
\nOf God neither. <\/p>\n
233
\n00:12:58,470 –> 00:13:01,870
\nIndeed can be.
\nIt will never be subject. <\/p>\n
234
\n00:13:01,870 –> 00:13:04,350
\nTo the law of God, as I said
\nbefore. <\/p>\n
235
\n00:13:04,350 –> 00:13:08,990
\nOur job is suppression.
\nThat’s what the work of God is. <\/p>\n
236
\n00:13:10,270 –> 00:13:12,430
\nAnd to and to.
\nSee that you have. <\/p>\n
237
\n00:13:12,880 –> 00:13:16,280
\nBiases in certain areas and not
\nto put yourself in a bad <\/p>\n
238
\n00:13:16,280 –> 00:13:22,040
\nposition where your nature is
\nincredibly strong and will just.<\/p>\n
239
\n00:13:22,160 –> 00:13:28,240
\nFling out at any given moment,
\nso then they that that are in <\/p>\n
240
\n00:13:28,240 –> 00:13:29,400
\nthe flesh.
\nCannot. <\/p>\n
241
\n00:13:29,400 –> 00:13:31,560
\nPlease God.
\nThey’re serving themselves. <\/p>\n
242
\n00:13:31,560 –> 00:13:34,520
\nIn other words, but you are not
\nin the flesh. <\/p>\n
243
\n00:13:35,880 –> 00:13:39,240
\nHe says to it, you are.
\nNot in the flesh, but in the <\/p>\n
244
\n00:13:39,240 –> 00:13:41,210
\nSpirit.
\nSo be. <\/p>\n
245
\n00:13:41,210 –> 00:13:42,850
\nThat the Spirit of God dwell in
\nyou. <\/p>\n
246
\n00:13:43,650 –> 00:13:46,890
\nNow if any man have not the
\nSpirit of Christ, he’s none of <\/p>\n
247
\n00:13:46,890 –> 00:13:47,890
\nhis.
\nIn the words of. <\/p>\n
248
\n00:13:47,890 –> 00:13:54,650
\nJohn, are we abiding in Christ?
\nSo the Spirit of Christ then, <\/p>\n
249
\n00:13:54,650 –> 00:13:56,650
\nbrothers.
\nAnd sisters is the only way <\/p>\n
250
\n00:13:56,650 –> 00:13:58,450
\nforward.
\nIt’s the only way. <\/p>\n
251
\n00:13:58,450 –> 00:14:00,090
\nForward as far as our.
\nEternal. <\/p>\n
252
\n00:14:00,090 –> 00:14:01,890
\nWell-being is concerned.
\nIt really is. <\/p>\n
253
\n00:14:02,210 –> 00:14:06,250
\nSo Humanism, Postmodernism.
\nMilk of human kindness, human <\/p>\n
254
\n00:14:06,250 –> 00:14:09,130
\nrights, whatever they.
\nAre they stand? <\/p>\n
255
\n00:14:09,370 –> 00:14:12,870
\nTotally.
\nUnrelated to the spirit. <\/p>\n
256
\n00:14:12,870 –> 00:14:19,310
\nOf Christ.
\nSo now that we know that. <\/p>\n
257
\n00:14:19,310 –> 00:14:21,070
\nSin.
\nSeparates us from God. <\/p>\n
258
\n00:14:21,310 –> 00:14:23,150
\nLet’s just do a.
\nBit of math this is probably <\/p>\n
259
\n00:14:23,150 –> 00:14:25,710
\nworth looking at.
\nAnd I’ll use myself as an <\/p>\n
260
\n00:14:25,710 –> 00:14:27,350
\nexample here.
\nSo how many sins? <\/p>\n
261
\n00:14:27,670 –> 00:14:30,870
\nSo Peter asks a question.
\nI think it’s a it’s a valid <\/p>\n
262
\n00:14:30,870 –> 00:14:32,670
\nquestion.
\nHow many times? <\/p>\n
263
\n00:14:32,870 –> 00:14:35,750
\nShould I forgive my brother?
\nAnd he’s he sort of volunteer <\/p>\n
264
\n00:14:35,830 –> 00:14:38,070
\nvolunteers.
\nThis number seven times, That’s <\/p>\n
265
\n00:14:38,070 –> 00:14:39,310
\na.
\nA good nice. <\/p>\n
266
\n00:14:39,310 –> 00:14:41,200
\nWear around.
\nComplete number. <\/p>\n
267
\n00:14:41,200 –> 00:14:42,560
\nSeven times.
\nWhat do you think of that? <\/p>\n
268
\n00:14:44,640 –> 00:14:54,160
\nAnd Christ.
\nResponded Peter No 70 * 7 so 4. <\/p>\n
269
\n00:14:54,160 –> 00:14:59,840
\n190 times is Christ actually
\nsaying that God’s? <\/p>\n
270
\n00:14:59,840 –> 00:15:03,640
\nThreshold the ceiling.
\nFor where he forgives is 4. 190 <\/p>\n
271
\n00:15:04,120 –> 00:15:07,240
\ntimes.
\nSo let me let’s put it this way.<\/p>\n
272
\n00:15:07,730 –> 00:15:10,530
\nNow I’ve been baptized.
\nFor 35 years I. <\/p>\n
273
\n00:15:11,170 –> 00:15:16,370
\nWas baptized on the 1st of July.
\n1987 so. 35 Yesterday. <\/p>\n
274
\n00:15:16,410 –> 00:15:18,210
\nThere we are.
\nNow let’s. <\/p>\n
275
\n00:15:18,210 –> 00:15:20,890
\nSay for example.
\nFor my small mind in terms of <\/p>\n
276
\n00:15:20,890 –> 00:15:23,490
\nmathematics, I know there’s some
\na lot of very intelligent people<\/p>\n
277
\n00:15:23,490 –> 00:15:25,210
\nout there.
\nSo let’s just say. <\/p>\n
278
\n00:15:25,210 –> 00:15:31,450
\nI have sinned 10 times per day.
\nAll right so. 70 times a week? <\/p>\n
279
\n00:15:32,450 –> 00:15:34,970
\nThat’s 280.
\nTimes a month. <\/p>\n
280
\n00:15:35,380 –> 00:15:36,860
\nSo within two months.
\nOf me being. <\/p>\n
281
\n00:15:36,860 –> 00:15:43,780
\nBaptized I’ve used up.
\nThe 490 Wow, that didn’t take <\/p>\n
282
\n00:15:43,780 –> 00:15:46,260
\nlong.
\nThat’s only on 10 times a day. <\/p>\n
283
\n00:15:46,540 –> 00:15:48,500
\nI suggest to you it’s.
\nWay more. <\/p>\n
284
\n00:15:51,100 –> 00:15:58,220
\nThat’s 3600 and. 50 * a.
\nYear and to date 127,000. <\/p>\n
285
\n00:15:58,220 –> 00:16:01,540
\nSince the 490.
\nHas long gone. <\/p>\n
286
\n00:16:05,650 –> 00:16:07,290
\nI think.
\nBrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n
287
\n00:16:08,370 –> 00:16:11,250
\nThat to a certain extent, your
\nlife is similar to mine. <\/p>\n
288
\n00:16:12,010 –> 00:16:14,850
\nI think.
\nWe are sinning, and when I say <\/p>\n
289
\n00:16:14,850 –> 00:16:17,130
\nsin, I mean falling short of
\nGod’s glory. <\/p>\n
290
\n00:16:18,090 –> 00:16:23,650
\nNot only every month.
\nOr every week, Every day, every.<\/p>\n
291
\n00:16:23,810 –> 00:16:26,970
\nHour and possibly possibly
\nminute by minute. <\/p>\n
292
\n00:16:28,130 –> 00:16:29,250
\nAt least every.
\nHour. <\/p>\n
293
\n00:16:30,180 –> 00:16:32,860
\nWe are actually falling short of
\nGod’s glory. <\/p>\n
294
\n00:16:33,180 –> 00:16:35,980
\nAll the time.
\nAnd you might say, really, every<\/p>\n
295
\n00:16:35,980 –> 00:16:37,900
\nhour?
\nBrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n
296
\n00:16:38,420 –> 00:16:41,540
\nI’m not just talking about sins
\nof Commission, things that we <\/p>\n
297
\n00:16:41,540 –> 00:16:45,020
\ncommit.
\nWhat about sins of omission, the<\/p>\n
298
\n00:16:45,020 –> 00:16:48,260
\nthings that we have omitted to
\ndo, which we should have done <\/p>\n
299
\n00:16:48,300 –> 00:16:50,660
\nfor God that?
\nTo me is a. <\/p>\n
300
\n00:16:50,660 –> 00:16:52,340
\nWhole.
\nNother mountain of sins. <\/p>\n
301
\n00:16:53,260 –> 00:16:56,180
\nIf I really wanted, I could
\nprobably start to count the <\/p>\n
302
\n00:16:56,180 –> 00:16:57,980
\nstuff I do wrong.
\nIf I was that. <\/p>\n
303
\n00:16:58,100 –> 00:17:01,340
\nCrazy, I’d go.
\nCrazy straight away, but then <\/p>\n
304
\n00:17:01,340 –> 00:17:05,859
\nI’ve got this mound of omission.
\nCan you see how we’re constantly<\/p>\n
305
\n00:17:05,859 –> 00:17:13,020
\nfalling short of God’s glory?
\nAll the time one sin separates <\/p>\n
306
\n00:17:13,020 –> 00:17:14,260
\nus from God.
\nJust one. <\/p>\n
307
\n00:17:17,579 –> 00:17:21,780
\nSo what was the 490 about then?
\nDid Christ just sort of pluck <\/p>\n
308
\n00:17:21,780 –> 00:17:24,180
\nthat out?
\nOf the air and say no, no it <\/p>\n
309
\n00:17:24,180 –> 00:17:28,140
\nshould be much bigger #490.
\nHe actually had a very, very <\/p>\n
310
\n00:17:28,140 –> 00:17:29,540
\ngood reason for.
\nQuoting that number. <\/p>\n
311
\n00:17:31,500 –> 00:17:33,260
\nIs there a point?
\nThen he he says. <\/p>\n
312
\n00:17:33,300 –> 00:17:35,580
\nBut it’s.
\nThe question obviously Peter’s <\/p>\n
313
\n00:17:35,580 –> 00:17:37,900
\nmine.
\nIs there a point where enough is<\/p>\n
314
\n00:17:37,900 –> 00:17:39,460
\nenough and God says now?
\nI’m done with it. <\/p>\n
315
\n00:17:40,300 –> 00:17:42,020
\nEverybody gets 490 and that’s
\nit. <\/p>\n
316
\n00:17:43,340 –> 00:17:47,220
\nI think Jesus Christ.
\nIs telling Peter don’t count, <\/p>\n
317
\n00:17:47,220 –> 00:17:50,940
\nPeter don’t count at all.
\nBecause God doesn’t. <\/p>\n
318
\n00:17:50,940 –> 00:17:52,860
\nCount.
\nGod doesn’t think. <\/p>\n
319
\n00:17:52,860 –> 00:17:55,260
\nLike a man, my ways are not your
\nways. <\/p>\n
320
\n00:17:55,260 –> 00:17:57,980
\nThey are higher.
\nMuch higher than your ways. <\/p>\n
321
\n00:18:00,550 –> 00:18:05,110
\nI think the four. 190 Though
\nbrothers and sisters is almost <\/p>\n
322
\n00:18:05,110 –> 00:18:07,270
\nanother subject, but.
\nSuffice it to say this. <\/p>\n
323
\n00:18:07,790 –> 00:18:09,510
\nI think it comes straight from
\nDaniel Let. <\/p>\n
324
\n00:18:10,790 –> 00:18:12,470
\nMe let me just.
\nRemind you of this? <\/p>\n
325
\n00:18:12,910 –> 00:18:15,910
\nDaniel’s 70 week prophecy.
\nIn Daniel 9. <\/p>\n
326
\n00:18:16,270 –> 00:18:19,590
\nSays this so Daniel’s Daniel’s
\nbeen praying to his God. <\/p>\n
327
\n00:18:19,790 –> 00:18:23,150
\nHe’s asking for forgiveness.
\nBecause we have done wickedly <\/p>\n
328
\n00:18:23,630 –> 00:18:26,670
\nand he’s on his knees and he’s
\npleading with God on. <\/p>\n
329
\n00:18:26,670 –> 00:18:29,080
\nBehalf of the nation.
\nAnd an. <\/p>\n
330
\n00:18:29,080 –> 00:18:33,880
\nAngel comes to him and says this
\n70 weeks Daniel. <\/p>\n
331
\n00:18:33,920 –> 00:18:36,680
\nNow that’s 70.
\nMost commentators should read <\/p>\n
332
\n00:18:36,680 –> 00:18:45,320
\nlike this. 70 weeks of years
\nshould be. 70 * 7. <\/p>\n
333
\n00:18:46,600 –> 00:18:50,640
\nIs the correct rendering 70 * 7?
\n490 years. <\/p>\n
334
\n00:18:51,200 –> 00:18:55,680
\nSo this is how Daniel 9 verse
\n24490 years. <\/p>\n
335
\n00:18:56,100 –> 00:18:58,020
\nAre.
\nDetermined upon Thy people and <\/p>\n
336
\n00:18:58,020 –> 00:18:59,060
\nupon the holy.
\nCity. <\/p>\n
337
\n00:18:59,220 –> 00:19:01,140
\nNow listen to this.
\nWhat’s happening at the end of? <\/p>\n
338
\n00:19:01,140 –> 00:19:07,340
\nThe 490 to finish transgression,
\nto make an end of end of sins. <\/p>\n
339
\n00:19:08,660 –> 00:19:12,540
\nTo make reconciliation for
\niniquity or this is definitely. <\/p>\n
340
\n00:19:12,540 –> 00:19:17,260
\nSounding like Christ’s
\nexistence, and to bring an <\/p>\n
341
\n00:19:17,260 –> 00:19:20,860
\neverlasting righteousness, and
\nto seal up the vision and <\/p>\n
342
\n00:19:20,860 –> 00:19:22,860
\nprophecy and anoint the most
\nHoly. <\/p>\n
343
\n00:19:26,380 –> 00:19:29,780
\nAnd lo and behold.
\nYou had the 490 from where <\/p>\n
344
\n00:19:29,780 –> 00:19:31,220
\nDaniel?
\nWas at the time. <\/p>\n
345
\n00:19:32,620 –> 00:19:34,580
\nUnder UT exerts his or to rise
\nthe king. <\/p>\n
346
\n00:19:35,300 –> 00:19:38,420
\nAnd it comes to the month Nysan
\nAD 7030. <\/p>\n
347
\n00:19:38,420 –> 00:19:41,300
\nThree, where, they say was the
\nvery. <\/p>\n
348
\n00:19:41,300 –> 00:19:43,500
\nMonth.
\nWhere Jesus. <\/p>\n
349
\n00:19:43,500 –> 00:19:46,580
\nChrist was crucified and he
\nmade. <\/p>\n
350
\n00:19:46,580 –> 00:19:49,220
\nReconciliation for iniquity at.
\nThat time to finish the <\/p>\n
351
\n00:19:49,220 –> 00:19:51,660
\ntransgression, to make an end of
\nsins. <\/p>\n
352
\n00:19:52,270 –> 00:19:56,110
\nBecause you see Peter after 400.
\nAnd 90 years. <\/p>\n
353
\n00:19:56,710 –> 00:20:03,510
\nThere’s going to be forgiveness
\nwithout end, and then there <\/p>\n
354
\n00:20:03,510 –> 00:20:04,710
\nwill.
\nBe no counting sin. <\/p>\n
355
\n00:20:10,550 –> 00:20:14,230
\nSo, Peter?
\nSuggests 7 times and and that’s <\/p>\n
356
\n00:20:14,230 –> 00:20:16,710
\nin in verse 23 of of.
\nOf Matthew I Dean. <\/p>\n
357
\n00:20:17,650 –> 00:20:20,930
\nChrist explains the real
\nsituation to Him by a parable. <\/p>\n
358
\n00:20:21,010 –> 00:20:23,410
\nIt’s a parable which is full of
\nDaniel 9 actually, the more you <\/p>\n
359
\n00:20:23,410 –> 00:20:23,930
\nlook.
\nInto it. <\/p>\n
360
\n00:20:24,170 –> 00:20:28,890
\nThe parable was all about how.
\nGod forgave national Israel, But<\/p>\n
361
\n00:20:28,890 –> 00:20:31,610
\ntragically, what happened?
\nWas when they were released from<\/p>\n
362
\n00:20:31,610 –> 00:20:34,650
\nBabylon they went.
\nBack to their land. <\/p>\n
363
\n00:20:35,730 –> 00:20:38,730
\nAnd they threw profit after
\nprofit. <\/p>\n
364
\n00:20:38,730 –> 00:20:45,670
\nInto prison and in the end.
\nAfter all, throwing these <\/p>\n
365
\n00:20:45,670 –> 00:20:47,790
\nprofits into.
\nDungeons and sewers and all. <\/p>\n
366
\n00:20:47,790 –> 00:20:50,590
\nSorts of rotten.
\nPlaces ending up with. <\/p>\n
367
\n00:20:50,590 –> 00:20:51,750
\nJohn the.
\nBaptist and look. <\/p>\n
368
\n00:20:51,750 –> 00:20:57,110
\nWhere they took his life from
\nhis throat, they grabbed him by <\/p>\n
369
\n00:20:57,110 –> 00:20:57,950
\nthe.
\nThroat and said. <\/p>\n
370
\n00:20:57,950 –> 00:21:03,270
\nPay that you owe.
\nAnd I think that is exactly what<\/p>\n
371
\n00:21:03,270 –> 00:21:08,110
\nChrist is.
\nReferring to in the 490, the <\/p>\n
372
\n00:21:08,110 –> 00:21:10,910
\nverse 24 says one was brought
\nunto him. <\/p>\n
373
\n00:21:11,840 –> 00:21:13,280
\nNow.
\nThis Bris brother had been <\/p>\n
374
\n00:21:13,280 –> 00:21:15,240
\ncaught.
\nSquandering an awesome amount of<\/p>\n
375
\n00:21:15,240 –> 00:21:17,320
\nmoney.
\nMoney which was not his. <\/p>\n
376
\n00:21:17,320 –> 00:21:20,160
\nTo spend and he’s been stealing
\nthis money and and. <\/p>\n
377
\n00:21:20,160 –> 00:21:21,480
\nLiving that for a long long time
\nand. <\/p>\n
378
\n00:21:22,880 –> 00:21:24,280
\nThat the sort of.
\nMoney we’re talking about in <\/p>\n
379
\n00:21:24,280 –> 00:21:26,880
\ntoday’s value.
\nThere’s a few numbers. <\/p>\n
380
\n00:21:26,880 –> 00:21:29,240
\nSort of bandied.
\nAround but one common. <\/p>\n
381
\n00:21:29,240 –> 00:21:34,880
\nOne was about. $10 million now
\nthey. <\/p>\n
382
\n00:21:34,880 –> 00:21:40,240
\nSay for this man what he had
\nspent was about 200 years wages <\/p>\n
383
\n00:21:40,240 –> 00:21:43,860
\nand I think that’s the point.
\nThe point is, we only get one. <\/p>\n
384
\n00:21:43,860 –> 00:21:46,460
\nLifetime.
\nThis man had ridden. <\/p>\n
385
\n00:21:46,660 –> 00:21:50,180
\nUp enough debt.
\nFor two lifetimes, get the <\/p>\n
386
\n00:21:50,180 –> 00:21:53,500
\npoint.
\nHe can’t do it. <\/p>\n
387
\n00:21:55,620 –> 00:21:58,020
\nIt’s an impossible thing to pay
\nback. <\/p>\n
388
\n00:21:59,780 –> 00:22:01,980
\nAnd foolishly in a.
\nMoment he’s going to ask. <\/p>\n
389
\n00:22:02,820 –> 00:22:04,740
\nGive me.
\nTime what another? <\/p>\n
390
\n00:22:04,740 –> 00:22:06,220
\nLifetime to pay?
\nBack. <\/p>\n
391
\n00:22:06,220 –> 00:22:08,180
\nIn fact, he needs two other
\nlifetimes on top of the. <\/p>\n
392
\n00:22:08,180 –> 00:22:10,780
\nOne, he’s just wasted.
\nImpossible. <\/p>\n
393
\n00:22:11,940 –> 00:22:14,300
\nYou know we have that.
\nWe have trouble understanding, <\/p>\n
394
\n00:22:14,300 –> 00:22:15,900
\ndon’t we?
\nThe magnitude of sin. <\/p>\n
395
\n00:22:15,900 –> 00:22:18,660
\nI think that’s the point of the
\nparable we need to. <\/p>\n
396
\n00:22:18,740 –> 00:22:22,260
\nUnderstand the magnitude of our
\nown personal sin, our need. <\/p>\n
397
\n00:22:22,260 –> 00:22:26,180
\nFor forgiveness.
\nAnd one of the reasons for. <\/p>\n
398
\n00:22:26,180 –> 00:22:28,540
\nThat, as we alluded to
\nyesterday, actually we live in a<\/p>\n
399
\n00:22:28,540 –> 00:22:30,460
\nworld.
\nThat is largely. <\/p>\n
400
\n00:22:30,460 –> 00:22:33,940
\nDesensitized to sin.
\nAnd to a. <\/p>\n
401
\n00:22:33,940 –> 00:22:36,580
\nGreater or lesser degree, we’re
\nall affected by that. <\/p>\n
402
\n00:22:39,640 –> 00:22:43,040
\nWe we think it’s normal to sin.
\nThis is sort of. <\/p>\n
403
\n00:22:43,040 –> 00:22:45,000
\nNormal, normal behavior.
\nThis is how we. <\/p>\n
404
\n00:22:45,000 –> 00:22:47,880
\nRationalize it.
\nWe we say, well, this is who I. <\/p>\n
405
\n00:22:47,880 –> 00:22:52,920
\nAM and.
\nIt’s expected. <\/p>\n
406
\n00:22:53,480 –> 00:22:56,480
\nThat I’m going to sin.
\nI can’t really help how I think.<\/p>\n
407
\n00:22:58,000 –> 00:23:00,120
\nSurely these little weaknesses
\nI’ve. <\/p>\n
408
\n00:23:00,120 –> 00:23:01,600
\nGot They’re not affecting
\nanybody. <\/p>\n
409
\n00:23:01,600 –> 00:23:04,280
\nElse so surely.
\nThey’re not that bad. <\/p>\n
410
\n00:23:04,520 –> 00:23:06,800
\nGod would understand that I
\ncan’t be expected to deal with. <\/p>\n
411
\n00:23:06,960 –> 00:23:08,320
\nEverything.
\nIn my life. <\/p>\n
412
\n00:23:08,740 –> 00:23:11,060
\nAnd in any case, I haven’t done
\nanything particularly bad <\/p>\n
413
\n00:23:11,060 –> 00:23:12,980
\nanyway.
\nI’m not in prison, am I? <\/p>\n
414
\n00:23:15,980 –> 00:23:19,980
\nSo as I said before, we we.
\nWe try and rationalize these <\/p>\n
415
\n00:23:19,980 –> 00:23:21,140
\nthings.
\nWe we reduce. <\/p>\n
416
\n00:23:21,260 –> 00:23:24,180
\nOur sins almost to.
\nFeel like a manageable level <\/p>\n
417
\n00:23:24,380 –> 00:23:26,380
\nbecause we’re good sin
\nmanagement managers. <\/p>\n
418
\n00:23:26,660 –> 00:23:29,060
\nRemember that from yesterday
\nand. <\/p>\n
419
\n00:23:29,900 –> 00:23:32,500
\nAgain, it’s all it is.
\nIt’s a fig leaf, fig leaf <\/p>\n
420
\n00:23:32,500 –> 00:23:38,340
\nmentality to make us not feel so
\nashamed or so naked. <\/p>\n
421
\n00:23:41,260 –> 00:23:44,580
\nAnd we can see the exact same.
\nProblem displayed in this <\/p>\n
422
\n00:23:44,580 –> 00:23:48,420
\ncareless servant, verse 26.
\nThe servant therefore fell down <\/p>\n
423
\n00:23:48,660 –> 00:23:51,740
\nand worshipped him, saying,
\nLord, have patience with me and <\/p>\n
424
\n00:23:51,740 –> 00:23:54,940
\nI’ll.
\nPay thee all what a statement. <\/p>\n
425
\n00:23:56,140 –> 00:24:01,300
\nI will pay thee.
\nAll me hear. <\/p>\n
426
\n00:24:02,900 –> 00:24:06,340
\nWhat he’s saying I don’t need
\nforgiveness. <\/p>\n
427
\n00:24:07,450 –> 00:24:12,690
\nDon’t need you to forgive me
\nbecause I am capable of paying <\/p>\n
428
\n00:24:12,690 –> 00:24:14,570
\nthis.
\nYou have patience. <\/p>\n
429
\n00:24:14,730 –> 00:24:20,130
\nWow.
\nYou have patience that that is. <\/p>\n
430
\n00:24:20,130 –> 00:24:25,290
\nIncredible.
\nThere’s a tendency here to that <\/p>\n
431
\n00:24:25,290 –> 00:24:26,610
\nWe.
\nAll have to underestimate the <\/p>\n
432
\n00:24:26,610 –> 00:24:28,690
\ngravity of our sin, our
\nstanding. <\/p>\n
433
\n00:24:28,690 –> 00:24:33,090
\nBefore God, you know, if if we
\nwere able to. <\/p>\n
434
\n00:24:33,170 –> 00:24:37,730
\nPay for sins somehow.
\nThen automatically, there’s no <\/p>\n
435
\n00:24:37,730 –> 00:24:40,090
\nneed forgiveness because we’re
\npaying for it. <\/p>\n
436
\n00:24:41,770 –> 00:24:44,050
\nForgiveness is not accepting.
\nSomething. <\/p>\n
437
\n00:24:44,650 –> 00:24:46,770
\nBy way of compensation from.
\nGod. <\/p>\n
438
\n00:24:48,530 –> 00:24:52,450
\nLet me give you sorry or
\nforegod, rather, we can’t come <\/p>\n
439
\n00:24:52,450 –> 00:24:54,050
\nto God and say, let me.
\nI’m going to I’m. <\/p>\n
440
\n00:24:54,530 –> 00:24:56,730
\nGoing to put aside some very,
\nvery valuable things. <\/p>\n
441
\n00:24:58,970 –> 00:25:03,450
\nForgiveness is a complete.
\nAnd utter free pardon. <\/p>\n
442
\n00:25:04,450 –> 00:25:08,450
\nGod is is completely and utterly
\nletting us off the hook. <\/p>\n
443
\n00:25:09,530 –> 00:25:11,090
\nThat’s the definition of
\nforgiveness. <\/p>\n
444
\n00:25:11,450 –> 00:25:17,250
\nSo and our works then, as a
\nresult of that fact, our works <\/p>\n
445
\n00:25:17,610 –> 00:25:20,770
\ncome from appreciation, not
\ncompensation. <\/p>\n
446
\n00:25:23,090 –> 00:25:27,970
\nNow, if you’re anything like me,
\nwe do try to compensate God. <\/p>\n
447
\n00:25:29,330 –> 00:25:32,170
\nWe feel bad.
\nWe try and get our lives <\/p>\n
448
\n00:25:32,170 –> 00:25:34,260
\ntogether.
\nI’m going to do this. <\/p>\n
449
\n00:25:34,260 –> 00:25:36,580
\nI’m going to do that and be more
\nastute to get to more meetings <\/p>\n
450
\n00:25:36,580 –> 00:25:37,460
\nand more.
\nClasses. <\/p>\n
451
\n00:25:37,740 –> 00:25:39,700
\nMake sure I get those leaflets
\nout and you. <\/p>\n
452
\n00:25:39,820 –> 00:25:43,820
\nActually put yourself.
\nUnder God is saying wrong <\/p>\n
453
\n00:25:43,820 –> 00:25:49,020
\nattitude, I understand.
\nWhere you’re coming from, but in<\/p>\n
454
\n00:25:49,020 –> 00:25:54,100
\nactual fact, the attitude is I.
\nAppreciate so much what has been<\/p>\n
455
\n00:25:54,100 –> 00:25:56,020
\ndone.
\nI’m going to make it. <\/p>\n
456
\n00:25:56,020 –> 00:25:58,300
\nI’m going to make an effort.
\nTo get to the. <\/p>\n
457
\n00:25:58,300 –> 00:26:00,540
\nClasses and.
\nAnd do whatever I need to do to <\/p>\n
458
\n00:26:00,540 –> 00:26:02,900
\nhelp brother and brothers and
\nsisters because I want to. <\/p>\n
459
\n00:26:03,620 –> 00:26:06,580
\nNot because I have to.
\nWhat a different motive that is,<\/p>\n
460
\n00:26:06,580 –> 00:26:11,300
\nbrothers and sisters.
\nSo what happens verse 27 Then <\/p>\n
461
\n00:26:11,300 –> 00:26:13,940
\nthe Lord of the servant was.
\nMoved with compassion and. <\/p>\n
462
\n00:26:13,940 –> 00:26:16,740
\nLoosed him.
\nAnd forgave the debt. <\/p>\n
463
\n00:26:17,420 –> 00:26:20,180
\nThat is.
\nMuch more than he. <\/p>\n
464
\n00:26:20,180 –> 00:26:21,420
\nAsked.
\nHe asked. <\/p>\n
465
\n00:26:21,420 –> 00:26:26,900
\nJust simply to be loosed and he
\nalso asked to pay the debt back.<\/p>\n
466
\n00:26:28,180 –> 00:26:32,380
\nInstead, he’s loosed.
\nOf the bond, here we are. <\/p>\n
467
\n00:26:33,000 –> 00:26:35,560
\nGo forward.
\nHe’s loosed of his bond <\/p>\n
468
\n00:26:36,080 –> 00:26:39,920
\ncompletely.
\nAnd you know that the, the this <\/p>\n
469
\n00:26:39,920 –> 00:26:41,120
\nmaster.
\nCould have actually said, you <\/p>\n
470
\n00:26:41,120 –> 00:26:43,080
\nknow what, I tell you what I’ll
\ndo. <\/p>\n
471
\n00:26:43,160 –> 00:26:45,000
\nAnd this would have been
\nentirely fair. <\/p>\n
472
\n00:26:45,000 –> 00:26:48,520
\nWe would probably all agree.
\nWe would say to him, look. <\/p>\n
473
\n00:26:49,080 –> 00:26:51,880
\nI tell you what.
\nWhat about I’ll loose you. <\/p>\n
474
\n00:26:52,760 –> 00:26:55,880
\nAnd.
\nYou’ve underestimated quite <\/p>\n
475
\n00:26:55,880 –> 00:26:57,680
\nsignificantly, the.
\nThe the size of. <\/p>\n
476
\n00:26:57,680 –> 00:27:00,080
\nThis debt?
\nLook, I’ll loose you for the <\/p>\n
477
\n00:27:00,080 –> 00:27:02,990
\npurposes of going out.
\nYou know, be patient. <\/p>\n
478
\n00:27:03,350 –> 00:27:05,230
\nAnd you can go out and it can
\nget what? <\/p>\n
479
\n00:27:05,230 –> 00:27:07,030
\nYou can and just pay me back
\nwhat you can. <\/p>\n
480
\n00:27:07,910 –> 00:27:09,630
\nWe would say that’s incredible
\ncompassion. <\/p>\n
481
\n00:27:10,230 –> 00:27:12,510
\nThat is amazing.
\nWe say what a patient Lord, this<\/p>\n
482
\n00:27:12,510 –> 00:27:17,030
\nperson was.
\nBut he didn’t. <\/p>\n
483
\n00:27:18,390 –> 00:27:23,870
\nHe totally and freely forgave.
\nThe whole lot. <\/p>\n
484
\n00:27:27,910 –> 00:27:30,030
\nNot only is God.
\nLosing us from the debt. <\/p>\n
485
\n00:27:30,930 –> 00:27:33,570
\nBrothers and sisters, he’s.
\nGiving us the most wonderful <\/p>\n
486
\n00:27:33,570 –> 00:27:38,210
\ngift, the most wonderful present
\nthat you could. <\/p>\n
487
\n00:27:38,330 –> 00:27:41,690
\nEver wish for and we struggle to
\nappreciate it. <\/p>\n
488
\n00:27:43,290 –> 00:27:45,690
\nIt’s a real tragedy, but we need
\nto see. <\/p>\n
489
\n00:27:45,690 –> 00:27:49,490
\nThis from God’s perspective.
\nHere look at. <\/p>\n
490
\n00:27:49,490 –> 00:27:53,610
\nSam 103, come over to Sam 103,
\nlet’s let’s. <\/p>\n
491
\n00:27:53,610 –> 00:27:54,730
\nActually have a look and see
\nwhat. <\/p>\n
492
\n00:27:55,330 –> 00:27:57,490
\nHow the Samus puts what God has
\ndone for us. <\/p>\n
493
\n00:28:01,870 –> 00:28:10,990
\nGod has gone.
\nOver and above so I’m 103 will <\/p>\n
494
\n00:28:10,990 –> 00:28:17,910
\ncome in at verse two.
\nBless Yahweh, O my soul, Forget <\/p>\n
495
\n00:28:17,910 –> 00:28:20,310
\nnot all his benefits.
\nWho forgives? <\/p>\n
496
\n00:28:20,470 –> 00:28:24,910
\nAll thine iniquities.
\nWho heals all thy diseases? <\/p>\n
497
\n00:28:25,790 –> 00:28:27,630
\nWho redeems thy life from
\ndestruction? <\/p>\n
498
\n00:28:27,790 –> 00:28:30,630
\nWho crowns thee with?
\nLoving kindness and tender <\/p>\n
499
\n00:28:30,630 –> 00:28:37,070
\nmercies.
\nYahweh is merciful and gracious <\/p>\n
500
\n00:28:38,110 –> 00:28:39,230
\nand slow.
\nTo and all. <\/p>\n
501
\n00:28:39,230 –> 00:28:42,030
\nNow there’s his.
\nCharacter coming out slow to <\/p>\n
502
\n00:28:42,030 –> 00:28:47,070
\nanger, plenteous in mercy he
\nwill not always chide. <\/p>\n
503
\n00:28:47,390 –> 00:28:51,390
\nNeither will he keep his anger.
\nForever he hath not dealt with <\/p>\n
504
\n00:28:51,390 –> 00:28:56,490
\nus after our sins.
\nNor rewarded us according to our<\/p>\n
505
\n00:28:56,490 –> 00:29:01,170
\niniquities for.
\nAs the heaven is high above the <\/p>\n
506
\n00:29:01,170 –> 00:29:02,570
\nearth, so.
\nGreat. <\/p>\n
507
\n00:29:02,570 –> 00:29:05,490
\nIs his mercy toward them that
\nfear him there? <\/p>\n
508
\n00:29:05,690 –> 00:29:07,770
\nIs no measurement in terms of
\nGod’s. <\/p>\n
509
\n00:29:07,770 –> 00:29:10,850
\nForgiveness, forgiveness.
\nDon’t even start measuring. <\/p>\n
510
\n00:29:11,250 –> 00:29:13,090
\nThere is no measurement as far
\nas the East. <\/p>\n
511
\n00:29:13,090 –> 00:29:16,170
\nIs from the West.
\nSo far has he removed our <\/p>\n
512
\n00:29:16,170 –> 00:29:18,610
\ntransgression from us?
\nWhy? <\/p>\n
513
\n00:29:18,610 –> 00:29:21,850
\nWhy is that so?
\nLike as a father. <\/p>\n
514
\n00:29:22,620 –> 00:29:26,380
\nPity of his children.
\nSo Yahweh pities them that fear <\/p>\n
515
\n00:29:26,380 –> 00:29:29,860
\nhim.
\nWhat a God we have. <\/p>\n
516
\n00:29:32,140 –> 00:29:35,460
\nHe remembers that we are dust.
\nHe understands our predicament, <\/p>\n
517
\n00:29:36,220 –> 00:29:39,300
\nthe mess we are in.
\nAnd consequently he has forgiven<\/p>\n
518
\n00:29:39,300 –> 00:29:45,420
\nthe debt.
\nA magnificent mind of compassion<\/p>\n
519
\n00:29:45,420 –> 00:29:49,460
\nand mercy now for the purposes
\nof of our. <\/p>\n
520
\n00:29:50,340 –> 00:29:51,460
\nOf our session this afternoon.
\nI don’t. <\/p>\n
521
\n00:29:51,460 –> 00:29:53,020
\nWant to take this?
\nParable much further. <\/p>\n
522
\n00:29:53,020 –> 00:29:56,620
\nBecause we’re going to deal with
\nit in our fourth session in <\/p>\n
523
\n00:29:56,620 –> 00:29:58,740
\nregard to personal.
\nForgiveness but suffice. <\/p>\n
524
\n00:29:58,740 –> 00:30:01,300
\nIt to say this.
\nThat that I’m sure you’ll <\/p>\n
525
\n00:30:01,300 –> 00:30:04,780
\nunderstand that.
\nA gauge, a true gauge of our <\/p>\n
526
\n00:30:04,780 –> 00:30:11,100
\nappreciation of God’s
\nforgiveness to us, would surely <\/p>\n
527
\n00:30:11,100 –> 00:30:13,100
\nhave to be the true test.
\nWould surely have. <\/p>\n
528
\n00:30:13,100 –> 00:30:17,660
\nTo be then is how our.
\nRelationship and forgiveness is <\/p>\n
529
\n00:30:17,660 –> 00:30:23,730
\nbetween each other.
\nThat’s the acid test, yeah, if <\/p>\n
530
\n00:30:23,730 –> 00:30:24,770
\nyou want.
\nThe, the. <\/p>\n
531
\n00:30:24,770 –> 00:30:26,010
\nThe.
\nThe true. <\/p>\n
532
\n00:30:26,010 –> 00:30:29,130
\nMeasure of how grateful you are
\nto God for his incredible. <\/p>\n
533
\n00:30:29,130 –> 00:30:31,250
\nMercy to you.
\nBrothers and sisters, how do <\/p>\n
534
\n00:30:31,250 –> 00:30:33,650
\nyou?
\nFeel toward those who have <\/p>\n
535
\n00:30:33,650 –> 00:30:39,450
\nwronged you, because it happens.
\nIt happens a lot in a cleasure <\/p>\n
536
\n00:30:39,450 –> 00:30:43,010
\nlife.
\nIt might not. <\/p>\n
537
\n00:30:43,010 –> 00:30:45,970
\nNecessarily be a cleasure life.
\nThat someone’s wronged you. <\/p>\n
538
\n00:30:48,580 –> 00:30:50,940
\nIt’s very, very challenging.
\nBrothers and sisters a very. <\/p>\n
539
\n00:30:50,940 –> 00:30:53,020
\nChallenging for for many of us
\nhere. <\/p>\n
540
\n00:30:53,380 –> 00:30:56,340
\nBut I I can’t sugarcoat this any
\nany other way, because that’s <\/p>\n
541
\n00:30:56,340 –> 00:31:00,740
\nGod’s.
\nChallenge to US show. <\/p>\n
542
\n00:31:00,740 –> 00:31:04,900
\nMe how much you appreciate?
\nWhat I have done for you by <\/p>\n
543
\n00:31:04,900 –> 00:31:07,460
\nshowing.
\nMe God to your. <\/p>\n
544
\n00:31:07,460 –> 00:31:09,260
\nBrother.
\nThat’s how we do. <\/p>\n
545
\n00:31:09,260 –> 00:31:14,100
\nIt manifest God to.
\nYour brothers and sisters. <\/p>\n
546
\n00:31:19,400 –> 00:31:21,040
\nAnd here again, I think we have
\na process. <\/p>\n
547
\n00:31:21,040 –> 00:31:22,760
\nIt may not be A-frame of mind
\nthat. <\/p>\n
548
\n00:31:23,200 –> 00:31:27,720
\nMiraculously occurs overnight.
\nGod’s not suggesting that. <\/p>\n
549
\n00:31:28,080 –> 00:31:32,440
\nEither, but God in his
\ncompassion because of our. <\/p>\n
550
\n00:31:32,440 –> 00:31:35,560
\nWeaknesses in this area
\nparticularly. <\/p>\n
551
\n00:31:35,880 –> 00:31:39,600
\nWill continue to work.
\nWith us and help us along that <\/p>\n
552
\n00:31:39,600 –> 00:31:41,520
\nroad.
\nWith individual. <\/p>\n
553
\n00:31:41,520 –> 00:31:44,520
\nTraumas and trials that come
\nupon us. <\/p>\n
554
\n00:31:45,360 –> 00:31:48,680
\nRemember that quote from First?
\nJohn says, beloved if God so <\/p>\n
555
\n00:31:48,800 –> 00:31:53,240
\nloved us.
\nIf God has so forgiven us, we <\/p>\n
556
\n00:31:53,240 –> 00:31:55,880
\nought also to forgive one
\nanother. <\/p>\n
557
\n00:31:56,960 –> 00:32:02,160
\nAnd there are no.
\nConditions attached we can’t say<\/p>\n
558
\n00:32:02,160 –> 00:32:04,120
\nI’ll forgive you on the
\ncondition that. <\/p>\n
559
\n00:32:05,480 –> 00:32:11,360
\nIt’s a complete slight clean,
\nand it should. <\/p>\n
560
\n00:32:11,360 –> 00:32:12,640
\nBe a desire.
\nTo do it as. <\/p>\n
561
\n00:32:12,640 –> 00:32:15,810
\nWell.
\nSaying to God, that’s the least.<\/p>\n
562
\n00:32:15,850 –> 00:32:18,410
\nI can do.
\nBecause I appreciate what you <\/p>\n
563
\n00:32:18,410 –> 00:32:25,730
\nhave.
\nDone for me now, unlike the the <\/p>\n
564
\n00:32:25,730 –> 00:32:29,210
\nman that the servant that owed.
\n200 years wages. <\/p>\n
565
\n00:32:29,490 –> 00:32:31,410
\nThere was another man.
\nThat did appreciate. <\/p>\n
566
\n00:32:31,410 –> 00:32:35,210
\nWhat was done for him?
\nYou turned to Luke 15 and verse <\/p>\n
567
\n00:32:37,890 –> 00:32:39,610
\nverse.
\nLet’s come in at verse 17. <\/p>\n
568
\n00:32:43,200 –> 00:32:48,440
\nLuke 15 This is the prodigal son
\n15 and verse verse 17. <\/p>\n
569
\n00:32:51,360 –> 00:32:55,680
\nWe read this and when.
\nHe came to himself. <\/p>\n
570
\n00:32:58,800 –> 00:33:01,760
\nSo some background first of.
\nCourse, it’s probably a good. <\/p>\n
571
\n00:33:01,760 –> 00:33:04,400
\nThing to do.
\nHe’s taken off from his father, <\/p>\n
572
\n00:33:04,600 –> 00:33:06,040
\nhe said.
\nGive me what’s rightfully. <\/p>\n
573
\n00:33:06,040 –> 00:33:07,750
\nMine.
\nAnd nothing’s rightfully ours. <\/p>\n
574
\n00:33:07,750 –> 00:33:09,550
\nBut this is what he’s demanded
\nfrom his father. <\/p>\n
575
\n00:33:09,830 –> 00:33:12,030
\nAnd off he goes, he lives a
\ntotally, totally. <\/p>\n
576
\n00:33:12,710 –> 00:33:15,230
\nUncontrolled and uncontained way
\nof life. <\/p>\n
577
\n00:33:16,270 –> 00:33:17,710
\nAnd there comes a time we got
\nthe fun. <\/p>\n
578
\n00:33:17,710 –> 00:33:19,750
\nDries up.
\nAll his friends are gone, his <\/p>\n
579
\n00:33:19,750 –> 00:33:22,830
\ncash is gone, and he’s feeling
\npretty, pretty wretched and <\/p>\n
580
\n00:33:22,830 –> 00:33:23,470
\npretty.
\nEmpty. <\/p>\n
581
\n00:33:24,110 –> 00:33:26,390
\nAnd he tries to take control
\nhimself. <\/p>\n
582
\n00:33:26,710 –> 00:33:28,710
\nSo see the.
\nHis mind’s going through. <\/p>\n
583
\n00:33:28,710 –> 00:33:30,190
\nThis process.
\nWhich is very. <\/p>\n
584
\n00:33:30,230 –> 00:33:32,950
\nVery similar to all of us, he
\ntries tries to take control by <\/p>\n
585
\n00:33:32,950 –> 00:33:35,910
\ngetting a good, well paid job
\nwith the pigs. <\/p>\n
586
\n00:33:38,250 –> 00:33:39,410
\nBut along with his.
\nStomach. <\/p>\n
587
\n00:33:39,410 –> 00:33:44,730
\nHe becomes very, very empty.
\nAnd he came to realize that life<\/p>\n
588
\n00:33:44,730 –> 00:33:47,290
\nwithout.
\nGod is not much life. <\/p>\n
589
\n00:33:47,370 –> 00:33:48,730
\nAt all.
\nIt’s vain. <\/p>\n
590
\n00:33:49,210 –> 00:33:51,810
\nIt’s empty.
\nAnd it’s depressing, depressing.<\/p>\n
591
\n00:33:53,050 –> 00:33:54,650
\nAnd he he starts.
\nTo look at himself. <\/p>\n
592
\n00:33:54,970 –> 00:33:56,930
\nHe takes a long.
\nHard look at himself and says. <\/p>\n
593
\n00:33:56,930 –> 00:34:01,770
\nWhat a fool, what a fool I’ve
\nbeen so verse 17 and when he <\/p>\n
594
\n00:34:01,770 –> 00:34:07,100
\ncame to himself, he said.
\nJust think about it, he says. <\/p>\n
595
\n00:34:07,100 –> 00:34:13,060
\nHow many hired servants of my
\nfather’s have bred enough to <\/p>\n
596
\n00:34:13,060 –> 00:34:14,540
\nspare?
\nAnd I perish with. <\/p>\n
597
\n00:34:14,540 –> 00:34:15,860
\nHunger.
\nNow here’s the first step. <\/p>\n
598
\n00:34:16,860 –> 00:34:20,820
\nConfession verse 18.
\nSo he. <\/p>\n
599
\n00:34:20,820 –> 00:34:23,540
\nPrepares a little speech.
\nHe’s he’s rehearsing a speech <\/p>\n
600
\n00:34:23,540 –> 00:34:25,860
\nthat he’s going to say to his to
\nhis dad when. <\/p>\n
601
\n00:34:25,860 –> 00:34:26,980
\nHe sees him again.
\nHe says. <\/p>\n
602
\n00:34:28,219 –> 00:34:32,780
\nI’ll arise and go to my father
\nand I will read, confess. <\/p>\n
603
\n00:34:33,520 –> 00:34:36,600
\nUnto him, Father I’ve sinned
\nagainst heaven, and before. <\/p>\n
604
\n00:34:36,600 –> 00:34:39,760
\nThee and am no more.
\nWorthy to be. <\/p>\n
605
\n00:34:39,760 –> 00:34:46,320
\nCalled Thy Son, make me as one
\nof Thy hired servants, and his <\/p>\n
606
\n00:34:46,320 –> 00:34:49,360
\nrepentance, and when he.
\nArose he came to his. <\/p>\n
607
\n00:34:49,360 –> 00:34:52,280
\nFather but.
\nWhen he was. <\/p>\n
608
\n00:34:52,280 –> 00:34:56,880
\nYet now look at this a great way
\noff. <\/p>\n
609
\n00:34:57,240 –> 00:35:02,400
\nHis father saw him.
\nHe had compassion. <\/p>\n
610
\n00:35:03,770 –> 00:35:06,050
\nHe ran and he.
\nFell on his neck. <\/p>\n
611
\n00:35:06,210 –> 00:35:09,370
\nAnd he kissed him and brothers
\nand sisters there. <\/p>\n
612
\n00:35:09,370 –> 00:35:11,850
\nIs only one way.
\nThat his father. <\/p>\n
613
\n00:35:12,570 –> 00:35:15,690
\nCould see him coming a long way
\ndown the track. <\/p>\n
614
\n00:35:20,210 –> 00:35:22,010
\nOnly one way.
\nAnd that is. <\/p>\n
615
\n00:35:22,970 –> 00:35:26,970
\nIf he was looking out for him,
\nhe was looking. <\/p>\n
616
\n00:35:27,010 –> 00:35:28,090
\nIt wasn’t.
\nIn his land room. <\/p>\n
617
\n00:35:28,090 –> 00:35:30,770
\nFed up with a book?
\nThinking to himself. <\/p>\n
618
\n00:35:32,890 –> 00:35:35,610
\nThe boy knows.
\nHe knows where I am. <\/p>\n
619
\n00:35:36,730 –> 00:35:39,330
\nHe knows and he knows that he’s.
\nGoing to come home and we’re <\/p>\n
620
\n00:35:39,330 –> 00:35:43,450
\ngoing to have a chat.
\nHe’s out there looking for this <\/p>\n
621
\n00:35:43,450 –> 00:35:47,530
\nboy.
\nAnd the son said to him, Father,<\/p>\n
622
\n00:35:48,130 –> 00:35:49,410
\nhe says.
\nNow remember the. <\/p>\n
623
\n00:35:49,410 –> 00:35:51,370
\nSpeech that he prepared.
\nHe’s got this. <\/p>\n
624
\n00:35:51,530 –> 00:35:54,010
\nRehearsed, he says.
\nFather, I’ve sinned against <\/p>\n
625
\n00:35:54,010 –> 00:35:56,530
\nheaven and in thy sight, and I’m
\nno more. <\/p>\n
626
\n00:35:56,530 –> 00:35:59,700
\nWorthy to be called thy son.
\nHis father doesn’t even let him <\/p>\n
627
\n00:35:59,740 –> 00:36:01,340
\nget to finish the rest of the
\nlittle. <\/p>\n
628
\n00:36:01,340 –> 00:36:03,980
\nSpeech and he says.
\nThe father said to his servants.<\/p>\n
629
\n00:36:04,260 –> 00:36:05,860
\nBring.
\nForth the best robe. <\/p>\n
630
\n00:36:07,300 –> 00:36:10,180
\nAnd put it on him, and put a
\nring in his hand, and choose on <\/p>\n
631
\n00:36:10,180 –> 00:36:12,060
\nhis feet, and bring hither the
\nfatted calf. <\/p>\n
632
\n00:36:12,220 –> 00:36:13,860
\nKill it, let us.
\nEat and be. <\/p>\n
633
\n00:36:13,860 –> 00:36:17,820
\nMerry for this my son was dead
\nand is alive again. <\/p>\n
634
\n00:36:17,940 –> 00:36:18,740
\nHe was.
\nLost. <\/p>\n
635
\n00:36:18,740 –> 00:36:21,420
\nAnd is found.
\nAnd they began to be merry. <\/p>\n
636
\n00:36:22,140 –> 00:36:26,820
\nWhat an occasion that was.
\nWell, there’s the conversion. <\/p>\n
637
\n00:36:26,820 –> 00:36:30,660
\nThe sun remained in the house.
\nThere we are. <\/p>\n
638
\n00:36:30,780 –> 00:36:33,140
\nHe was converted.
\nHe remained in the house. <\/p>\n
639
\n00:36:33,140 –> 00:36:39,060
\nAfter that, they continued.
\nTo be in happy fellowship with <\/p>\n
640
\n00:36:39,060 –> 00:36:42,820
\neach other, and I want to make
\nthere we are. <\/p>\n
641
\n00:36:43,420 –> 00:36:49,500
\nRunning to him down the track.
\nThis is painting a picture of <\/p>\n
642
\n00:36:49,500 –> 00:36:52,220
\nwhat our God is like.
\nDo you relate to God like this? <\/p>\n
643
\n00:36:55,860 –> 00:36:58,860
\nTwo points from this parable.
\nJust look at the Stark. <\/p>\n
644
\n00:36:58,860 –> 00:37:00,300
\nDifferences, brothers and
\nsisters. <\/p>\n
645
\n00:37:00,300 –> 00:37:01,980
\nBetween two men that we’ve
\nlooked at. <\/p>\n
646
\n00:37:02,220 –> 00:37:04,660
\nLook at the acknowledgement of
\nsin, one man said. <\/p>\n
647
\n00:37:05,140 –> 00:37:07,700
\nGive have have patience with me
\nand I’ll pay you back. <\/p>\n
648
\n00:37:07,700 –> 00:37:12,180
\nEverything.
\nAnd the other man says I have <\/p>\n
649
\n00:37:12,180 –> 00:37:17,300
\nsinned firstly and primarily.
\nHe says I’ve sinned against. <\/p>\n
650
\n00:37:17,300 –> 00:37:21,260
\nHeaven, remember, David said.
\nAgainst the. <\/p>\n
651
\n00:37:22,270 –> 00:37:27,390
\nAnd the only have I sinned?
\nWow, What about his family? <\/p>\n
652
\n00:37:27,390 –> 00:37:29,270
\nWhat about you, liar?
\nWhat about all? <\/p>\n
653
\n00:37:29,270 –> 00:37:33,350
\nHis, his wise men, the rest of
\nthe nation, I’ve sinned against <\/p>\n
654
\n00:37:33,350 –> 00:37:35,270
\nheaven.
\nIn the end, it’s. <\/p>\n
655
\n00:37:35,430 –> 00:37:41,070
\nAlways against God and when he
\nstepped. <\/p>\n
656
\n00:37:41,070 –> 00:37:43,110
\nThrough God’s righteous
\nrequirements. <\/p>\n
657
\n00:37:43,630 –> 00:37:46,470
\nLook at the response he’s.
\nGreeted by a watching. <\/p>\n
658
\n00:37:46,470 –> 00:37:50,430
\nAnd waiting father.
\nThe forgiveness is overwhelming.<\/p>\n
659
\n00:37:52,470 –> 00:37:55,390
\nTotally overwhelming.
\nIt’s not just a a bit of <\/p>\n
660
\n00:37:55,590 –> 00:37:57,070
\nforgiveness, which is.
\nSort of. <\/p>\n
661
\n00:37:57,070 –> 00:38:00,350
\nCarefully portioned out for you.
\nIt’s. <\/p>\n
662
\n00:38:00,550 –> 00:38:04,870
\nAn abundance of forgiveness.
\nThe love of his father is. <\/p>\n
663
\n00:38:04,870 –> 00:38:07,710
\nFar, far greater than what he
\nwas expecting. <\/p>\n
664
\n00:38:08,750 –> 00:38:10,830
\nHis father wouldn’t hear him
\nbeing a servant. <\/p>\n
665
\n00:38:10,870 –> 00:38:13,510
\nHe was quite prepared to get
\ndeliver in the the servant’s <\/p>\n
666
\n00:38:13,510 –> 00:38:15,390
\nquarters.
\nThat’s a lot. <\/p>\n
667
\n00:38:15,430 –> 00:38:16,710
\nLot.
\nA long way in. <\/p>\n
668
\n00:38:16,710 –> 00:38:19,350
\nFront brothers and sisters of
\neating corn with pigs. <\/p>\n
669
\n00:38:23,050 –> 00:38:30,290
\nAnd he’s clothed.
\nAnd restored to Sunship, there’s<\/p>\n
670
\n00:38:30,290 –> 00:38:32,370
\nalmost.
\nWith the sun here, there’s <\/p>\n
671
\n00:38:32,370 –> 00:38:35,610
\nalmost this sense of
\nbewilderment, and he’s just <\/p>\n
672
\n00:38:35,610 –> 00:38:39,450
\nswept along by this, by this
\nbeautiful. <\/p>\n
673
\n00:38:39,450 –> 00:38:42,330
\nMan the father.
\nJust sweeps him up off his feet <\/p>\n
674
\n00:38:42,330 –> 00:38:45,010
\nand just carries him and takes
\nover and says no, forget put a <\/p>\n
675
\n00:38:45,010 –> 00:38:48,570
\nrobe on him and it’s just whoa.
\nThis is exciting. <\/p>\n
676
\n00:38:50,520 –> 00:38:52,960
\nPut a robe on, make it a nice.
\nOne the best. <\/p>\n
677
\n00:38:52,960 –> 00:38:56,520
\nRobe A ring on his finger, shoes
\non his feet. <\/p>\n
678
\n00:38:57,040 –> 00:39:00,240
\nGet some food into him.
\nLook at him skinny of a break <\/p>\n
679
\n00:39:00,240 –> 00:39:03,240
\nof.
\nA man get some food and a lot of<\/p>\n
680
\n00:39:03,240 –> 00:39:04,440
\nit.
\nMy son is alive. <\/p>\n
681
\n00:39:04,440 –> 00:39:10,240
\nMy son, my son is alive,
\nbrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n
682
\n00:39:10,680 –> 00:39:15,640
\nWe think that we’re happy when
\nwe go to God in forgiveness and <\/p>\n
683
\n00:39:15,640 –> 00:39:17,280
\nwe pour our.
\nHearts out to him. <\/p>\n
684
\n00:39:17,870 –> 00:39:19,910
\nAnd we make a genuine attempt to
\ndo something about it. <\/p>\n
685
\n00:39:19,910 –> 00:39:23,870
\nWe think we’re happy and.
\nRelieved, we can finally express<\/p>\n
686
\n00:39:23,870 –> 00:39:26,630
\nto God our innermost thoughts
\nand weaknesses and ask for <\/p>\n
687
\n00:39:26,630 –> 00:39:30,190
\nforgiveness of these things.
\nWell, the joy that we feel, <\/p>\n
688
\n00:39:30,190 –> 00:39:33,150
\nbrothers and sisters, is.
\nNothing, obviously. <\/p>\n
689
\n00:39:33,150 –> 00:39:35,190
\nIt’s nothing compared to how
\nGod. <\/p>\n
690
\n00:39:35,190 –> 00:39:37,630
\nFeels when he sees.
\nTrue repentance. <\/p>\n
691
\n00:39:37,710 –> 00:39:39,350
\nWhether.
\nA person is just baptized. <\/p>\n
692
\n00:39:39,470 –> 00:39:40,790
\nOr.
\nThey’ve been in the truth for 80<\/p>\n
693
\n00:39:40,790 –> 00:39:43,470
\nyears.
\nGod’s reaction is exactly the <\/p>\n
694
\n00:39:43,470 –> 00:39:46,030
\nsame.
\nLook at verse seven of of <\/p>\n
695
\n00:39:46,030 –> 00:39:51,070
\nchapter 15.
\nI say unto you that likewise joy<\/p>\n
696
\n00:39:51,230 –> 00:39:55,230
\nshall be in heaven over 1 Sinner
\nthat repents more than the the <\/p>\n
697
\n00:39:55,230 –> 00:39:59,750
\n90 and 9 just persons that need
\nno repentance and that person <\/p>\n
698
\n00:40:00,030 –> 00:40:04,110
\ndoesn’t exist anyway.
\nWe all need repentance. <\/p>\n
699
\n00:40:04,710 –> 00:40:08,270
\nWhat an incredible, loving
\nfather we have. <\/p>\n

\nSo brothers and sisters then.
\nOur need for forgiveness. <\/p>\n

702
\n00:40:24,660 –> 00:40:26,940
\nin God’s Kingdom, Without it we.
\nCannot be made. <\/p>\n
703
\n00:40:27,180 –> 00:40:33,940
\nRighteous we are not justified
\nby faith and the way and the the<\/p>\n
704
\n00:40:34,140 –> 00:40:36,140
\nthe process, the requirement
\nthat God. <\/p>\n
705
\n00:40:36,420 –> 00:40:39,180
\nHas instituted are for our
\nhealing. <\/p>\n
706

\nFor our good brothers and
\nsisters. <\/p>\n
709

\nto the.
\nGreatness of forgiveness. <\/p>\n
