3
00:00:29,940 --> 00:00:33,430
book by book here we are once again from
4
00:00:33,430 --> 00:00:35,230
Brighton in the South of England and
5
00:00:35,230 --> 00:00:37,660
sharing the study well I'm rich abused
6
00:00:37,660 --> 00:00:39,850
here's poor black am and here's Glen
7
00:00:39,850 --> 00:00:42,340
Scrivener our special guest and we're
8
00:00:42,340 --> 00:00:44,020
coming to number eight in our series of
9
00:00:44,020 --> 00:00:46,480
studies on the book of Job now have you
10
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:48,250
got a Bible though have it open if
11
00:00:48,250 --> 00:00:50,739
you've got it and also what about ah I
12
00:00:50,739 --> 00:00:52,870
wonder if you've got the study guide
13
00:00:52,870 --> 00:00:55,120
because that's useful on the book of Job
14
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,489
there's a DVD inside it which you can
15
00:00:57,489 --> 00:00:59,830
use and study notes as well if that's
16
00:00:59,830 --> 00:01:04,690
help so off we go chapters 29 to 31 in
17
00:01:04,690 --> 00:01:06,940
study number eight I think we'll take as
18
00:01:06,940 --> 00:01:09,190
our theme for the day our title for the
19
00:01:09,190 --> 00:01:13,600
day chapter 20 chapter 30 actually will
20
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,470
take verse 20 job says I cry out to you
21
00:01:17,470 --> 00:01:20,070
O God but you do not answer
22
00:01:20,070 --> 00:01:24,130
that's our title other day let's read
23
00:01:24,130 --> 00:01:27,700
first of all from chapter 29 as job
24
00:01:27,700 --> 00:01:30,340
continues to speak and he says how I
25
00:01:30,340 --> 00:01:33,880
longed for the months gone by for the
26
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,430
days when God watched over me when his
27
00:01:36,430 --> 00:01:39,159
lamp shone upon my head and by his light
28
00:01:39,159 --> 00:01:41,950
I walked through darkness Oh for the
29
00:01:41,950 --> 00:01:43,960
days when I was in my prime
30
00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:46,180
when God's intimate friendship blessed
31
00:01:46,180 --> 00:01:48,490
my house when the almighty was still
32
00:01:48,490 --> 00:01:50,740
with me and my children were around me
33
00:01:50,740 --> 00:01:53,380
when my path was drenched with cream and
34
00:01:53,380 --> 00:01:56,350
the rock poured out for me streams of
35
00:01:56,350 --> 00:01:59,770
olive oils so job has been replying to
36
00:01:59,770 --> 00:02:02,020
his three comforters when we come to his
37
00:02:02,020 --> 00:02:04,570
final speech here I think we're caught
38
00:02:04,570 --> 00:02:06,970
right into the heart of job's situation
39
00:02:06,970 --> 00:02:09,910
as the righteous man who is suffering so
40
00:02:09,910 --> 00:02:12,010
what do we have what do we make of the
41
00:02:12,010 --> 00:02:14,350
opening verses of chapter 29 as they
42
00:02:14,350 --> 00:02:16,540
tell us what they tell us about you well
43
00:02:16,540 --> 00:02:18,640
Jim's thinking back to how everything
44
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:21,280
was before all these sufferings began
45
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,620
and there is a way in which he thinks
46
00:02:23,620 --> 00:02:26,890
back on the past with in a way over rosy
47
00:02:26,890 --> 00:02:30,160
tinted glasses in a way and it's a
48
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,500
nostalgic view of the past earlier to a
49
00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:33,850
degree and we can understand that
50
00:02:33,850 --> 00:02:36,010
because when we're suffering yesterday
51
00:02:36,010 --> 00:02:38,260
my troubles seemed so far away kind of
52
00:02:38,260 --> 00:02:40,420
thing and he goes oh my path was
53
00:02:40,420 --> 00:02:42,280
drenched with cream and the rock
54
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,440
poor doubt olive or was it really so you
55
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,600
know everything was just wonderful all
56
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,550
the time and there's an element in which
57
00:02:48,550 --> 00:02:50,500
our minds play those tricks others we
58
00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:51,670
don't remember any of the difficulty
59
00:02:51,670 --> 00:02:53,740
there's a way in which job is an element
60
00:02:53,740 --> 00:02:55,420
of that yeah the young man saw being
61
00:02:55,420 --> 00:02:57,490
stepped aside your men rose to their
62
00:02:57,490 --> 00:03:02,170
feet really every time quite a life but
63
00:03:02,170 --> 00:03:04,690
then what strikes as though is that the
64
00:03:04,690 --> 00:03:06,130
accusation against him from the
65
00:03:06,130 --> 00:03:09,040
beginning was job that's all you really
66
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,110
are interested in material blessings and
67
00:03:11,110 --> 00:03:14,020
popularity but that isn't true when we
68
00:03:14,020 --> 00:03:15,880
look if we look in those opening verses
69
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,100
look at verse 4 particularly over the
70
00:03:18,100 --> 00:03:19,870
days when I was in my prime what define
71
00:03:19,870 --> 00:03:22,300
the prime of life for job it's this
72
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:25,090
God's intimate friendship bless my house
73
00:03:25,090 --> 00:03:27,100
that mattered more to him than anything
74
00:03:27,100 --> 00:03:31,330
else so Jesus means more to Jobe than
75
00:03:31,330 --> 00:03:33,069
all the blessings and if he could say I
76
00:03:33,069 --> 00:03:35,500
would I would that what I really want is
77
00:03:35,500 --> 00:03:38,110
those in that intimacy with him again
78
00:03:38,110 --> 00:03:40,420
even if I can't have the olive oil and
79
00:03:40,420 --> 00:03:43,600
the cream if I can have him I've got the
80
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,430
thing I most want it's like Moses
81
00:03:45,430 --> 00:03:48,790
preferred the shame of Christ to all the
82
00:03:48,790 --> 00:03:51,040
luxuries of Egypt that's what I feel is
83
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,840
going on here with Joe and so we're
84
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,180
entering right into his final speech
85
00:03:55,180 --> 00:03:57,970
here and we hear him describing how he
86
00:03:57,970 --> 00:03:59,680
feels forsaken by the Lord as you say
87
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,860
how does Jobe help us actually in the
88
00:04:02,860 --> 00:04:05,049
end to see that well let's call it the
89
00:04:05,049 --> 00:04:07,570
cross of Christ hmm well I think we've
90
00:04:07,570 --> 00:04:09,340
seen that this book really is kind of a
91
00:04:09,340 --> 00:04:11,109
microcosm of the Bible here he is
92
00:04:11,109 --> 00:04:13,390
telling the Bible story we began in the
93
00:04:13,390 --> 00:04:15,010
wooded place in the east with the
94
00:04:15,010 --> 00:04:16,779
upright man who had dominion over the
95
00:04:16,779 --> 00:04:19,060
animals and then you know Satan comes in
96
00:04:19,060 --> 00:04:21,608
there's a catastrophic fall and really
97
00:04:21,608 --> 00:04:24,130
for so much of job he is he's playing
98
00:04:24,130 --> 00:04:26,320
the part of the righteous sufferer he's
99
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,200
playing the part of Christ and and
100
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,640
sometimes he plays the part very very
101
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,350
well sometimes he plays the part not so
102
00:04:32,350 --> 00:04:34,419
well we'll see that in the next couple
103
00:04:34,419 --> 00:04:36,520
of chapters but here we see him playing
104
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,500
the part very well if you look at verse
105
00:04:38,500 --> 00:04:41,470
12 we see how he rescued the poor who
106
00:04:41,470 --> 00:04:43,600
cried for help and the fatherless who
107
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,669
had none to assist him the man who was
108
00:04:45,669 --> 00:04:47,860
dying blessed me I made the widows heart
109
00:04:47,860 --> 00:04:49,810
sing and you ask yourself well in in
110
00:04:49,810 --> 00:04:50,500
Scripture
111
00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:52,690
who looks after the fatherless and the
112
00:04:52,690 --> 00:04:54,610
you know the widow and the al
113
00:04:54,610 --> 00:04:56,919
the poor it's the Lord the Lord is
114
00:04:56,919 --> 00:04:59,229
always doing so job is playing the part
115
00:04:59,229 --> 00:05:00,250
of the Lord
116
00:05:00,250 --> 00:05:02,919
going through incredible suffering which
117
00:05:02,919 --> 00:05:04,569
is a bit of a shock isn't we think of
118
00:05:04,569 --> 00:05:07,000
God over here and suffering over here
119
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,860
and we think never the twain shall meet
120
00:05:08,860 --> 00:05:11,289
surely and then I get lots of people as
121
00:05:11,289 --> 00:05:12,699
an evangelist I speak to non-christians
122
00:05:12,699 --> 00:05:15,250
and they think suffering is the killer
123
00:05:15,250 --> 00:05:17,560
question surely you can't believe in God
124
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,990
and suffering can you and of course you
125
00:05:19,990 --> 00:05:22,000
point to the god of Jobe the God of
126
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,810
Jesus who is the righteous sufferer who
127
00:05:25,810 --> 00:05:28,330
you know far more than Jobe were it was
128
00:05:28,330 --> 00:05:31,090
mocked by his friends was betrayed by a
129
00:05:31,090 --> 00:05:33,849
touch of Calvary here or very much 30
130
00:05:33,849 --> 00:05:37,060
verse 16 yes are my life ebbs away days
131
00:05:37,060 --> 00:05:39,219
are suffering gripped me night pierces
132
00:05:39,219 --> 00:05:41,889
my bones yes knowing pains never rest
133
00:05:41,889 --> 00:05:45,189
there's a touch of the cross there it's
134
00:05:45,189 --> 00:05:47,080
pointing it's pointing directly to the
135
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,659
cross where where Jesus was it wasn't
136
00:05:49,659 --> 00:05:51,490
just sort of condemned by his friends he
137
00:05:51,490 --> 00:05:53,740
was tortured and killed by those he came
138
00:05:53,740 --> 00:05:56,529
to save so when we think about suffering
139
00:05:56,529 --> 00:05:57,310
and God's
140
00:05:57,310 --> 00:05:59,139
well suffering might disprove a lot of
141
00:05:59,139 --> 00:06:00,279
God's there are a lot of God's who have
142
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,589
never suffered and suffering absolutely
143
00:06:02,589 --> 00:06:04,990
disproves them but it cannot disprove
144
00:06:04,990 --> 00:06:06,849
the God of Jobe the God of Jesus because
145
00:06:06,849 --> 00:06:10,089
here is the suffering God yeah and then
146
00:06:10,089 --> 00:06:13,150
Jobe is also answering the accusations
147
00:06:13,150 --> 00:06:15,520
of hypocrisy against him by his friends
148
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,520
how do we see him answering or trying to
149
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,310
answer those accusations in chapter 29
150
00:06:21,310 --> 00:06:24,159
well it's again it's just Keith worth
151
00:06:24,159 --> 00:06:26,469
remembering what all these previous
152
00:06:26,469 --> 00:06:29,500
conversations are and how now job's kind
153
00:06:29,500 --> 00:06:31,930
of bringing everything to a conclusion
154
00:06:31,930 --> 00:06:34,839
and back in chapter 22 the accusation
155
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,539
was you never looked after anybody and
156
00:06:37,539 --> 00:06:39,400
when the widows in the office came you
157
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,589
never helped them and in a way job's
158
00:06:41,589 --> 00:06:44,919
again just sort of saying listen Jesus
159
00:06:44,919 --> 00:06:47,500
is everything to me and that's what
160
00:06:47,500 --> 00:06:49,419
defined the most important thing in life
161
00:06:49,419 --> 00:06:52,029
for me and as Glenn was saying job at
162
00:06:52,029 --> 00:06:54,849
his best is like Christ imitate Christ
163
00:06:54,849 --> 00:06:56,979
have the mind of Christ the life of
164
00:06:56,979 --> 00:06:58,900
Christ and of course we all can think in
165
00:06:58,900 --> 00:07:00,370
the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus goes
166
00:07:00,370 --> 00:07:02,830
this is what my life like coming to me
167
00:07:02,830 --> 00:07:04,750
leave your old life behind coming to me
168
00:07:04,750 --> 00:07:07,569
and I'll give you this sort of life that
169
00:07:07,569 --> 00:07:08,320
I live
170
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:09,910
and there's a way in which job has done
171
00:07:09,910 --> 00:07:11,800
that and so he's really saying listen
172
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,840
it's not my righteousness ultimately
173
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,000
it's his righteousness and to be honest
174
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,000
I I do live his life I did do that
175
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,620
there's an element of that so I think
176
00:07:20,620 --> 00:07:23,110
it's important that again in a way job
177
00:07:23,110 --> 00:07:26,350
say the suffering I have is not
178
00:07:26,350 --> 00:07:29,320
punishment it's not chastisement it's
179
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,600
something more than that better than
180
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:31,900
that
181
00:07:31,900 --> 00:07:34,540
it's a fellowship in Christ's sufferings
182
00:07:34,540 --> 00:07:36,460
and Paul said that then it I want to
183
00:07:36,460 --> 00:07:38,080
know Christ and the Fellowship of
184
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,180
sufferings and in a way all this speech
185
00:07:40,180 --> 00:07:43,000
here is Jobe saying that is what this is
186
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,420
really and yet he feels that sense of
187
00:07:46,420 --> 00:07:50,020
rejection very much in chapter 30 look
188
00:07:50,020 --> 00:07:51,850
at it and but now they mock me men
189
00:07:51,850 --> 00:07:53,710
younger than I which fathers I would
190
00:07:53,710 --> 00:07:56,230
have disdained etc do we see something
191
00:07:56,230 --> 00:08:00,330
of why Jobe needs to be corrected I
192
00:08:00,330 --> 00:08:03,280
think we do start to from chapter 30 we
193
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,930
do start to see Jobe understandably he
194
00:08:07,930 --> 00:08:09,850
not just the pain of his suffering but
195
00:08:09,850 --> 00:08:11,230
also the pain of rejection by his
196
00:08:11,230 --> 00:08:13,090
friends and we know from the Lord Jesus
197
00:08:13,090 --> 00:08:14,680
you know how painful that was you know
198
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,540
Christ in the Psalms is he's talking
199
00:08:16,540 --> 00:08:18,610
about you know my my close friend with
200
00:08:18,610 --> 00:08:20,620
whom I shared intimacy has betrayed me
201
00:08:20,620 --> 00:08:22,360
and and we see that with Judas and we
202
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,040
see that with his disciples deserting
203
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,480
him and so there is something very
204
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,100
intense about his pain so we can
205
00:08:27,100 --> 00:08:29,440
understand it and yet from verse 18 of
206
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,530
chapter 30 we do see Joe beginning to
207
00:08:32,530 --> 00:08:34,599
sort of lash out at God if you like to
208
00:08:34,599 --> 00:08:37,090
blame God it's it's it's the lashing out
209
00:08:37,090 --> 00:08:39,370
of a friend of someone who knows Christ
210
00:08:39,370 --> 00:08:42,549
who loves Christ sort of beating on his
211
00:08:42,549 --> 00:08:44,770
chest you know how dare you kind of
212
00:08:44,770 --> 00:08:47,170
thing but we see sort of verse 20 I cry
213
00:08:47,170 --> 00:08:48,580
out to you our God that you did not
214
00:08:48,580 --> 00:08:50,830
answer I stand up but you merely look at
215
00:08:50,830 --> 00:08:53,110
me you know in his pain we can
216
00:08:53,110 --> 00:08:55,480
understand this but he is starting to
217
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,370
blame the Lord and and that will be
218
00:08:57,370 --> 00:08:58,480
something that he will need to be
219
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,170
corrected about yes I did everything
220
00:09:02,170 --> 00:09:04,360
that further accusations against God
221
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,630
expressed fit further on in chapter 31
222
00:09:07,630 --> 00:09:10,150
as well do you see that yeah I do
223
00:09:10,150 --> 00:09:12,400
because there's and again we totally
224
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,320
understand yo when he's so real to life
225
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,660
and any times we've been through hard
226
00:09:16,660 --> 00:09:19,360
times these sorts of things that job
227
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,000
says and feels will I know I know what
228
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:22,390
that's
229
00:09:22,390 --> 00:09:25,360
and in chapter 31 he's kind of say look
230
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,570
I I was really careful I made a covenant
231
00:09:28,570 --> 00:09:30,700
with my eyes not to Lillis Lily girl you
232
00:09:30,700 --> 00:09:32,860
know I've left I've tried to live such a
233
00:09:32,860 --> 00:09:36,970
careful Christian life Lord it just it's
234
00:09:36,970 --> 00:09:39,310
a bit much that you've given me such a
235
00:09:39,310 --> 00:09:40,870
hard time and who was that famous
236
00:09:40,870 --> 00:09:42,850
Christian Saint sort of from history who
237
00:09:42,850 --> 00:09:45,700
said with friends like this you know if
238
00:09:45,700 --> 00:09:46,960
you're my friend
239
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,000
it's not much of a friendship and I
240
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,410
think there's something about that with
241
00:09:50,410 --> 00:09:53,200
Jamie's feeling you're supposed to look
242
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,120
after me and in a way it's not that he's
243
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,610
totally fallen into the wisdom of the
244
00:09:57,610 --> 00:09:59,350
wisdom in inverted commas of his friends
245
00:09:59,350 --> 00:10:01,180
he's not thinking totally like that but
246
00:10:01,180 --> 00:10:02,740
there's a way in which there's something
247
00:10:02,740 --> 00:10:05,050
in him that starting to think hang on a
248
00:10:05,050 --> 00:10:05,440
minute
249
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,480
I've tried really served you as
250
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,820
faithfully as I possibly can and you're
251
00:10:09,820 --> 00:10:12,010
not treating me very well and I do think
252
00:10:12,010 --> 00:10:13,420
there's something real about that and I
253
00:10:13,420 --> 00:10:15,250
think all of us have probably felt that
254
00:10:15,250 --> 00:10:17,650
from time to time yeah exactly
255
00:10:17,650 --> 00:10:19,840
and he goes on in verse 35 oh that I had
256
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,990
someone to hear me what did you want in
257
00:10:22,990 --> 00:10:25,240
these verses 35 to finish him what do
258
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,790
you think it's basically him coming
259
00:10:27,790 --> 00:10:29,230
before the Lord and saying I would like
260
00:10:29,230 --> 00:10:31,810
to register a complaint with the manager
261
00:10:31,810 --> 00:10:34,000
and and and he's being very bold and
262
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,610
it's very inadvisable really oh that I
263
00:10:36,610 --> 00:10:38,530
had someone to hear me I sign mount now
264
00:10:38,530 --> 00:10:40,810
my defense let the Almighty answer me
265
00:10:40,810 --> 00:10:43,600
let my accuser put his indictment in
266
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,010
writing now that's a very harsh language
267
00:10:45,010 --> 00:10:46,330
especially when we can understand the
268
00:10:46,330 --> 00:10:48,340
motivation but even Satan you know his
269
00:10:48,340 --> 00:10:49,930
name is the accuser what's it what's he
270
00:10:49,930 --> 00:10:52,690
calling the Lord here so it's very very
271
00:10:52,690 --> 00:10:54,580
strong and and job has become a little
272
00:10:54,580 --> 00:10:57,160
bit unbalanced here and we see how his
273
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:58,870
heart is to have fellowship with the
274
00:10:58,870 --> 00:11:01,090
Lord but the sufferings getting on top
275
00:11:01,090 --> 00:11:03,220
of him and he seems to be thinking that
276
00:11:03,220 --> 00:11:05,050
he can't suffer and have fellowship with
277
00:11:05,050 --> 00:11:06,430
the Lord at the same time and so he's
278
00:11:06,430 --> 00:11:08,170
registering his complaint it's
279
00:11:08,170 --> 00:11:10,060
inadvisable and it's something that
280
00:11:10,060 --> 00:11:12,850
he'll need correction for but it's
281
00:11:12,850 --> 00:11:14,710
something that we can learn from that
282
00:11:14,710 --> 00:11:17,470
unlike Jobe we don't have to do this
283
00:11:17,470 --> 00:11:19,120
it's understandable but we don't have to
284
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,370
be like this we can know the Fellowship
285
00:11:21,370 --> 00:11:24,070
of the Lord in suffering and that's
286
00:11:24,070 --> 00:11:27,280
really what elihue later will teach him
287
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,440
all about knowing the Lord in suffering
288
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,510
but right here it's it's kind of I'd
289
00:11:31,510 --> 00:11:33,100
like to register a complaint and he
290
00:11:33,100 --> 00:11:35,350
needs to be corrected here yeah so Jobe
291
00:11:35,350 --> 00:11:35,860
is some
292
00:11:35,860 --> 00:11:38,769
overconfident he says there in verse 37
293
00:11:38,769 --> 00:11:41,440
are given account of my every step like
294
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,589
a prince I would approach him and we
295
00:11:44,589 --> 00:11:46,600
might say to ourselves like a prince
296
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,589
well the real Prince was born in a
297
00:11:50,589 --> 00:11:54,610
manger had their home to live in went to
298
00:11:54,610 --> 00:11:58,060
the cross so it reminds us that the
299
00:11:58,060 --> 00:12:00,160
followers of that Prince of the world
300
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,180
the the real Prince of heaven those
301
00:12:04,180 --> 00:12:07,089
effective followers of him I usually
302
00:12:07,089 --> 00:12:11,560
those who know something of living under
303
00:12:11,560 --> 00:12:14,649
the power of the cross something of the
304
00:12:14,649 --> 00:12:17,620
scars and the buffetings of life I was
305
00:12:17,620 --> 00:12:19,630
having dinner once with a man in the
306
00:12:19,630 --> 00:12:21,550
Middle East a leader called Malad dagger
307
00:12:21,550 --> 00:12:24,640
and he runs a Bible School there and he
308
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:25,870
was telling me that they wanted to have
309
00:12:25,870 --> 00:12:27,910
a training day in their Bible School on
310
00:12:27,910 --> 00:12:30,459
evangelism reaching out to others with
311
00:12:30,459 --> 00:12:33,850
the good news of Christ and he said to a
312
00:12:33,850 --> 00:12:35,320
certain the leaders of a certain country
313
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,670
nearby if you could send us your best
314
00:12:38,670 --> 00:12:41,920
trainers that will help us so they
315
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,329
agreed they say yes well since you are
316
00:12:43,329 --> 00:12:47,079
two best and my dad said to me what
317
00:12:47,079 --> 00:12:48,820
would you expect when you were heard
318
00:12:48,820 --> 00:12:53,140
that a top evangelist was coming to to
319
00:12:53,140 --> 00:12:56,380
give you some training what would build
320
00:12:56,380 --> 00:13:00,550
a door so far well if as have expected
321
00:13:00,550 --> 00:13:02,190
it they would have thought somebody
322
00:13:02,190 --> 00:13:05,589
confident upright well-respected
323
00:13:05,589 --> 00:13:08,410
not suffering at all on top of the world
324
00:13:08,410 --> 00:13:12,360
beaming smile not somebody like Jobe
325
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:16,149
well roulette dagger as we close off
326
00:13:16,149 --> 00:13:19,180
said to me when those two evangelists
327
00:13:19,180 --> 00:13:22,779
arrived was a man and a woman the
328
00:13:22,779 --> 00:13:25,120
husband and wife both in their 20s
329
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,620
the man was limping on a Zimmer frame or
330
00:13:29,620 --> 00:13:32,940
what you Americans would call a walker
331
00:13:32,940 --> 00:13:35,320
he been so badly treated by the
332
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,230
political authorities for his beliefs
333
00:13:38,230 --> 00:13:41,080
his wife trailed behind him limping
334
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:46,270
badly on a stick and the authorities who
335
00:13:46,270 --> 00:13:48,370
sent them the church authorities said
336
00:13:48,370 --> 00:13:52,870
these are our most effective evangelists
337
00:13:52,870 --> 00:13:57,820
that we've got so if somebody finds it
338
00:13:57,820 --> 00:13:59,590
difficult as a follower of the Lord
339
00:13:59,590 --> 00:14:02,740
Jesus Christ and the buffetings come
340
00:14:02,740 --> 00:14:05,260
your way don't just say I'm now written
341
00:14:05,260 --> 00:14:08,200
off I got no more to do you're effective
342
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,750
days maybe right there in front of you

00:14:10,750 --> 00:14:14,080
now god bless you if that is your
344
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,110
situation and god bless us all as we

remember those who follow in the steps
346
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:23,220
of him who suffered and loved
347
00:14:23,220 --> 00:14:31,640
