snake. That God provided so also, we believe in
2
00:41:52,470 --> 00:41:54,930
but when God sent him
3
00:33:46,550 --> 00:33:49,970
suddenly burst out with another reiteration of
4
00:31:42,260 --> 00:31:46,550
not very strong and he doesn't snap it off. He
5
00:31:59,860 --> 00:32:02,680
and groups for their sins, sometimes in very
6
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,680
flame goes out
7
00:28:57,810 --> 00:29:03,330
What giving jesus cost the father
8
00:22:54,010 --> 00:22:58,080
Is he saying who ruled
9
00:12:00,100 --> 00:12:02,170
it's not and he loved all the other Nations, just
10
00:21:04,860 --> 00:21:08,900
he may know more than that
11
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,410
moral figure.
12
00:09:11,340 --> 00:09:17,430
is this God god's love can be cast in a a kind of
13
00:02:19,890 --> 00:02:23,220
the first hour that is John chapter, three, but
14
00:02:10,510 --> 00:02:16,110
Now, in a few moments, I'm going to read the next
15
00:00:23,610 --> 00:00:26,550
session. I want to reflect a little on the God
16
00:52:47,570 --> 00:52:52,560
For God, so love the world that he gave his son
17
00:52:42,750 --> 00:52:46,000
they are
18
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:42,750
spiritually thirsty, irrespective of who are what
19
00:52:28,020 --> 00:52:31,920
less than nothing. A positive impediment measured
20
00:52:35,700 --> 00:52:39,000
of that living water christ offers to the
21
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:35,700
against one draft
22
00:52:26,220 --> 00:52:28,020
and they are nothing
23
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:21,660
trump
24
00:52:21,660 --> 00:52:26,220
triumphs by million add them altogether
25
00:52:13,150 --> 00:52:16,620
Yet I say to you
26
00:52:16,620 --> 00:52:21,000
And I beg you to believe me, multiply these tiny
27
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:13,150
That's fulfillment.
28
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:10,600
that it represented a serious impact on our time.
29
00:52:04,570 --> 00:52:07,000
was sufficiently heated for me to persuade myself
30
00:52:02,050 --> 00:52:02,770
It may have
31
00:51:59,950 --> 00:52:02,050
that's pleasure.
32
00:52:02,770 --> 00:52:04,570
Once in a while that something I said or wrote
33
00:51:57,970 --> 00:51:59,950
divergence
34
00:51:48,340 --> 00:51:51,460
revenue. That's the British irs
35
00:51:55,870 --> 00:51:57,970
elderly. If they care to may partake of trendy
36
00:51:53,770 --> 00:51:55,870
furnished with money and a little fame, even the
37
00:51:51,460 --> 00:51:53,770
that success
38
00:51:45,820 --> 00:51:48,340
admission to the higher slopes of the internal
39
00:51:43,150 --> 00:51:45,820
I can fairly easily earn enough to qualify for
40
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:40,840
people occasionally stare at me in the streets.
41
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,150
That's fame.
42
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,440
relatively successful men
43
00:51:32,630 --> 00:51:35,920
I'm a I suppose regard myself or past for being a

And in his old age, she wrote

00:51:23,830 --> 00:51:28,800
spectacular career converted his old age

map, creative blasphemous victorious defeated a
47
00:51:14,290 --> 00:51:18,370
brilliant guy centric journalist all over the

00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:14,290
the testimony of malcolm mugger ridge cranky
49
00:51:08,420 --> 00:51:11,200
Or again,

00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:05,870
All things be trading will be traced. ni
51
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:57,880
and put a bullet in his head
52
00:50:50,180 --> 00:50:53,840
and Richard cory. One calm summer night went home
53
00:50:46,610 --> 00:50:50,180
went without the meat and curse the bread
54
00:50:43,310 --> 00:50:46,610
So on, we worked and waited for the light and
55
00:50:39,530 --> 00:50:43,310
that we were in this place
56
00:50:37,610 --> 00:50:39,530
thought that he was everything to make us wish
57
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:37,610
admirably schooled in every grace in fine. We
58
00:50:29,420 --> 00:50:34,520
And he was rich. Yes richer than a King and
59
00:50:24,510 --> 00:50:29,420
morning and he glittered, when he walked
60
00:50:21,270 --> 00:50:24,510
but still he fluttered pulses when he said good
61
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,270
always human when he talked,
62
00:50:15,390 --> 00:50:18,840
And he was always quietly a raid and he was
63
00:50:12,170 --> 00:50:15,390
imperiously slim
64
00:50:08,210 --> 00:50:12,170
gentleman from Seoul to crown clean favored and
65
00:50:04,700 --> 00:50:08,210
we people on the pavement looked at him. He was a
66
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:04,700
Robinson, whenever Richard cory, went downtown,
67
00:49:57,540 --> 00:50:00,920
So, in the words of another poet, edwin arlington
68
00:49:50,450 --> 00:49:56,230
sense that is godless and will eventually damn us
69
00:49:46,310 --> 00:49:50,450
from being rich. That may destroy us and any
70
00:49:37,100 --> 00:49:40,700
as were restored to the living go gg R meaning
71
00:49:43,220 --> 00:49:46,310
what may destroy us or meaning. Does not come
72
00:49:40,700 --> 00:49:43,220
does not come from being independent. That is
73
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:37,100
I just see that is what finally gives us meaning
74
00:49:27,330 --> 00:49:33,000
That's the God who loves he's the hound of heaven
75
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:27,000
things be trade, the, who be traced me
76
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:21,000
and a voice beat more instant than the feet. All
77
00:49:11,910 --> 00:49:16,920
deliberate speed majestic instance e. They beat
78
00:49:06,720 --> 00:49:11,910
but within hurrying chase and unperturbed Pace
79
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:06,720
followed after
80
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:04,440
of cashman fears for those strong feet that
81
00:48:58,050 --> 00:49:01,440
spent and shot precipitated a down titanic blooms
82
00:48:55,380 --> 00:48:58,050
him and under running laughter a vested hopes. I
83
00:48:49,050 --> 00:48:52,440
years. I fled him down the labyrinthine ways of
84
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:55,380
my own mind and in the midst of tears. I hid from
85
00:48:41,070 --> 00:48:45,810
Chasing him down, I fled him down the knights and
86
00:48:45,810 --> 00:48:49,050
down the dais. I fled him down the arches of the
87
00:48:37,830 --> 00:48:41,070
were the hound of heaven
88
00:48:33,900 --> 00:48:37,830
francis Thompson. That talks about God as if he
89
00:48:28,950 --> 00:48:33,900
God pursued. Then there's a wonderful palm by
90
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,280
therefore we close with christ so many Christians
91
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,950
across the centuries have testified to the way
92
00:48:20,460 --> 00:48:23,520
is the kind of God who pursue use us and
93
00:48:16,510 --> 00:48:20,460
You see, we don't finally close with christ God
94
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:16,370
and joyful
95
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:12,840
other oriented servant minded christ. Exalted
96
00:48:02,870 --> 00:48:07,560
When I'm overflowing with gratitude I am healthy
97
00:47:52,690 --> 00:47:57,840
John piper writes that is my experience when I am
98
00:47:46,340 --> 00:47:52,500
misfits and malcontents praise least
99
00:47:42,410 --> 00:47:46,340
capacious minds praised most while the cranks
100
00:47:39,770 --> 00:47:42,410
humblest and at the same time, most balanced and
101
00:47:37,370 --> 00:47:39,770
made them large hearted and healthy. He said the
102
00:47:34,850 --> 00:47:37,370
and thanking God made people childish but then it
103
00:47:31,850 --> 00:47:34,850
changed. What he discovered was not the praising
104
00:47:29,210 --> 00:47:31,850
praise God all the time and then everything
105
00:47:27,410 --> 00:47:29,210
the message of the bible that we should thank and
106
00:47:24,740 --> 00:47:27,410
cs Lewis before he was a Christian really dislike
107
00:47:20,100 --> 00:47:24,740
In fact, the opposite is down right. Cranky
108
00:47:12,970 --> 00:47:14,960
thankful
109
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:19,750
The opposite is childish
110
00:47:09,850 --> 00:47:12,970
up into a mature thoughtful wise, humble,
111
00:47:06,190 --> 00:47:09,850
are childish no bishops punk God wants us to grow
112
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:06,190
knows they are acting like selfish children. They
113
00:46:57,610 --> 00:46:59,530
people who don't feel thankful for what they
114
00:46:59,530 --> 00:47:03,040
receive. We call them in greats and everyone
115
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:57,610
market remarkable maturity. We have a name for
116
00:46:51,940 --> 00:46:54,400
feeling grateful and saying it often is the
117
00:46:49,540 --> 00:46:51,940
Thank you into the selfish part of a child
118
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:44,890
children do not naturally say. Thank you
119
00:46:46,540 --> 00:46:49,540
owes them everything they want you have to drill.
120
00:46:44,890 --> 00:46:46,540
They come into the world believing that the world
121
00:46:38,980 --> 00:46:41,080
not really
122
00:46:34,420 --> 00:46:38,980
constant gratitude produces childishness
123
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:34,420
strong with the strength of christ. You say this
124
00:46:27,430 --> 00:46:30,520
stronger than he would have been otherwise he is
125
00:46:24,310 --> 00:46:27,430
and I'm strong so his dependence made him
126
00:46:21,850 --> 00:46:24,310
power of christ may rest upon me When I am weak
127
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:21,850
boast all more gladly of my weakness so that the
128
00:46:16,990 --> 00:46:19,600
in weakness, Paul responded there for I will
129
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,990
sufficient for you for my power is made perfect
130
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,320
jesus said to the apostle Paul my grace is
131
00:46:06,340 --> 00:46:08,530
it encourages being strong in a way that makes
132
00:46:08,530 --> 00:46:12,040
God look good and makes us feel glad for example,
133
00:46:04,300 --> 00:46:06,340
not exactly
134
00:46:01,090 --> 00:46:04,300
You say this encourages weakness,
135
00:45:59,050 --> 00:46:01,090
Gratitude.
136
00:45:52,660 --> 00:45:55,990
and it's horrible and point hell.
137
00:45:55,990 --> 00:45:59,050
Our hearts cannot stop feeling what they feel.
138
00:45:48,670 --> 00:45:52,660
it does. He has rescued us from our selfishness
139
00:45:46,270 --> 00:45:48,670
We cannot stop the mercy of God from doing what
140
00:45:43,630 --> 00:45:46,270
that's true.
141
00:45:39,100 --> 00:45:43,630
Yes, a rescuing day today results in gratitude
142
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:39,100
He says this
143
00:45:29,780 --> 00:45:34,570
seen his my John piper
144
00:45:26,660 --> 00:45:29,780
one of the best brief responses to it. I have
145
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:18,180
childishness
146
00:45:18,180 --> 00:45:21,330
And dependency
147
00:45:21,330 --> 00:45:26,660
That's a very common stance today
148
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:06,440
level as I have noted previously, a rescuing data
149
00:45:11,420 --> 00:45:13,820
constant gratitude which is the story of the
150
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:11,420
t results in gratitude never expanded humanity
151
00:45:13,820 --> 00:45:16,880
cross seems to encourage, creates only weakness
152
00:44:59,870 --> 00:45:02,480
cross of christ has become an operative on every
153
00:44:57,500 --> 00:44:59,870
centuries. The traditional understanding of the
154
00:44:51,650 --> 00:44:54,950
and causing an incipient sado masochism that is
155
00:44:54,950 --> 00:44:57,500
injured with a relentless tenacity through the
156
00:44:49,070 --> 00:44:51,650
Guilt justifying the need for divine punishment
157
00:44:47,810 --> 00:44:49,070
aside from
158
00:44:39,890 --> 00:44:42,980
understood clearly the old pattern of seeing the
159
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,810
paid. It is totally inappropriate
160
00:44:38,240 --> 00:44:39,890
what does the cross mean. How is it to be
161
00:44:42,980 --> 00:44:45,080
crosses the place where the price of the fall was
162
00:44:32,690 --> 00:44:38,240
a recently retired episcopal, bishop writes
163
00:44:30,140 --> 00:44:32,690
bishops pong,
164
00:44:16,340 --> 00:44:20,630
that thankfulness before jesus shows what an
165
00:44:27,950 --> 00:44:30,140
for example,
166
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:27,950
is
167
00:44:20,630 --> 00:44:25,880
inferior sappy emotional week religion. This
168
00:44:06,100 --> 00:44:09,130
contrition before God thankfulness for what he's
169
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:16,340
But there are large voices in our world who think
170
00:44:09,130 --> 00:44:11,480
done
171
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,100
gratitude
172
00:43:57,070 --> 00:44:03,520
it is than the first response to it ought to be
173
00:43:54,250 --> 00:43:57,070
and I believe with every fiber of my being that
174
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:54,250
if all of this is true
175
00:43:47,660 --> 00:43:50,560
Let me end this way
176
00:43:41,470 --> 00:43:46,500
christ and finally, so also here
177
00:43:34,510 --> 00:43:38,170
looking at by trusting in by believing the bronze
178
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:32,440
We saw already in the last session just as the
179
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:28,840
greater length.
180
00:43:20,660 --> 00:43:24,190
I'm going to come first thing
181
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,510
people in the wilderness were saved by simply
182
00:43:24,190 --> 00:43:27,280
two sessions on to talk about faith at much
183
00:43:11,540 --> 00:43:13,430
We're say teen, whoever believes in him is not
184
00:43:15,380 --> 00:43:20,500
condemned already. The verdict is already passed
185
00:43:13,430 --> 00:43:15,380
condemned, but whoever does not believe stands,
186
00:43:08,130 --> 00:43:11,540
perish, but have eternal life
187
00:43:04,980 --> 00:43:08,130
son that whoever believes in him shall not
188
00:43:03,090 --> 00:43:04,980
God. So love the world. He gave his one and only
189
00:43:01,260 --> 00:43:03,090
faith
190
00:42:56,370 --> 00:43:01,260
this law that this love and this life is
191
00:42:53,100 --> 00:42:56,370
And finally, the means by which we come to enjoy
192
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:53,100
unpacking precisely that point
193
00:42:45,330 --> 00:42:48,120
And much of the new testament is given over to
194
00:42:38,780 --> 00:42:45,330
debt becomes his his life becomes ours
195
00:42:29,270 --> 00:42:34,850
christ. We believe in him. We trust him
196
00:42:34,850 --> 00:42:38,780
and discovered that his life becomes ours as our
197
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:29,270
life. We do not finally, in jest physically. This
198
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,400
That whoever believes in him may have eternal
199
00:42:20,330 --> 00:42:22,160
through him.
200
00:42:18,410 --> 00:42:20,330
world to condemn the world, but to save the world
201
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,410
And only son, he did not send his son into the
202
00:42:14,940 --> 00:42:15,800
He gave
203
00:42:12,900 --> 00:42:14,940
son.
204
00:42:10,740 --> 00:42:12,900
loved the world that he gave his one and only
205
00:42:07,500 --> 00:42:10,740
eternal life that's. What the text to say God so
206
00:42:05,670 --> 00:42:07,500
so that we don't have to die so that we may have
207
00:42:02,820 --> 00:42:05,670
to die our death
208
00:42:00,150 --> 00:42:02,820
It was with a purpose
209
00:41:58,260 --> 00:42:00,150
die.
210
00:41:54,930 --> 00:41:58,260
to do his father's will to go to the cross and
211
00:41:49,980 --> 00:41:52,470
deserve to die
212
00:41:46,980 --> 00:41:49,980
jesus dies a substitution airy death. He does not
213
00:41:44,190 --> 00:41:46,980
for the whole burden of the new testament is that
214
00:41:39,510 --> 00:41:44,190
I die so that you may live
215
00:41:32,900 --> 00:41:39,510
language and says, unless you each of me, you die
216
00:41:29,540 --> 00:41:32,900
that you may live and jesus dares take that
217
00:41:25,730 --> 00:41:29,540
either. You die or something else living die. So
218
00:41:21,770 --> 00:41:25,730
substitution, but the reality of it
219
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,770
The point is not the voluntary nature of such
220
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,650
volunteer
221
00:41:15,650 --> 00:41:18,920
in or in the case of the lettuce
222
00:41:10,700 --> 00:41:13,520
now of course, in the case of the cow it didn't
223
00:41:08,510 --> 00:41:10,700
Or you die
224
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,510
dies
225
00:41:00,790 --> 00:41:05,560
and it is all given its life for you either. It
226
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,790
That's what you eat
227
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,480
which they may be too much
228
00:40:52,620 --> 00:40:55,320
dead, except for a few minerals like salt of
229
00:40:49,740 --> 00:40:52,620
everything that had once been living and his now
230
00:40:47,130 --> 00:40:49,740
dead wheat,
231
00:40:44,430 --> 00:40:47,130
dead barley
232
00:40:41,850 --> 00:40:44,430
dead tomato
233
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,850
Dead, let us
234
00:40:36,570 --> 00:40:39,480
Dead pal
235
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:33,600
mcdonald's or something more sophisticated
236
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,570
What would you eat
237
00:40:26,330 --> 00:40:28,640
Maybe tonight, when you go home you'll stop at
238
00:40:21,090 --> 00:40:26,330
either. We die or it dies
239
00:40:18,780 --> 00:40:21,090
in substitution
240
00:40:16,110 --> 00:40:18,780
life for us
241
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:16,110
with which we must have or we die, has given its
242
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,760
All of this, organic stuff that we feed ourselves
243
00:40:04,110 --> 00:40:08,000
pulled up and killed
244
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,110
You live because because the carrots have been
245
00:39:56,620 --> 00:40:01,800
live because the chicken died
246
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:56,620
So anybody in the first century no who's that you
247
00:39:46,430 --> 00:39:51,100
animals they've grown at themselves
248
00:39:44,540 --> 00:39:46,430
comes from and they'll say from plants and
249
00:39:41,810 --> 00:39:44,540
but you ask anybody in the first century where it
250
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,810
a chain is in this region is not what all say,
251
00:39:35,810 --> 00:39:38,960
Oh from jules Co or whatever your gross, a teary,
252
00:39:31,940 --> 00:39:35,810
today where does food come from.
253
00:39:29,630 --> 00:39:31,940
If you ask a five year old or a seven year old
254
00:39:26,870 --> 00:39:29,630
today
255
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,870
farm so they were much closer to land than we are
256
00:39:21,470 --> 00:39:23,120
about everybody worked at hand crafted on the
257
00:39:19,130 --> 00:39:21,470
Don't forget that in the ancient world, just
258
00:39:17,510 --> 00:39:19,130
meant at all.
259
00:39:15,110 --> 00:39:17,510
something like that originally that's not what I
260
00:39:11,660 --> 00:39:15,110
it's uh the sacrament of holy communion as
261
00:39:09,230 --> 00:39:11,660
are more religiously inclined. Might think. Maybe
262
00:39:05,900 --> 00:39:09,230
truly close to cannibalism are those of us who
263
00:39:02,450 --> 00:39:05,900
Now we read words like that today you
264
00:39:00,010 --> 00:39:02,450
Will die
265
00:38:53,240 --> 00:38:56,390
where jesus says he is the bread of life
266
00:38:56,390 --> 00:39:00,010
and unless we eat him
267
00:38:50,350 --> 00:38:53,240
There's, one spectacular passage in John six
268
00:38:47,150 --> 00:38:50,350
clear
269
00:38:42,470 --> 00:38:44,900
length, how he does that. There are other
270
00:38:44,900 --> 00:38:47,150
passages in john's gospel of make that pretty
271
00:38:39,450 --> 00:38:42,470
Now, in this passage does not depict a great
272
00:38:31,450 --> 00:38:35,500
is to save them
273
00:38:28,570 --> 00:38:31,450
coming and death on the cross
274
00:38:25,810 --> 00:38:28,570
17, says to condemn them. The purpose of his
275
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:25,810
comes not simply to show Example, and not verse
276
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:19,520
We are already a lost and rebel brewed and he
277
00:38:12,650 --> 00:38:15,440
already under god's judgment.
278
00:38:09,260 --> 00:38:12,650
stand beside of genesis three in that sense we're
279
00:38:05,900 --> 00:38:09,260
comes to people who are already condemned. We
280
00:38:02,750 --> 00:38:05,900
think, will continue. I think we'll see you. He
281
00:37:59,540 --> 00:38:02,750
He doesn't come to neutral people and say huh. I
282
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,540
them. Were back in the bible story line.
283
00:37:52,340 --> 00:37:56,000
save people from condemnation that is already on
284
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,340
He has a purpose in going to the cross. It is to
285
00:37:45,310 --> 00:37:49,040
mere example, though, he is an example
286
00:37:41,110 --> 00:37:45,310
abstract lesson. He doesn't go to the cross, as a
287
00:37:37,870 --> 00:37:41,110
victim of fate he doesn't go to the cross, as an
288
00:37:35,860 --> 00:37:37,870
But jesus doesn't go to the cross, because he's a
289
00:37:29,190 --> 00:37:35,860
Sad maybe but scarcely an exemplary of love
290
00:37:24,450 --> 00:37:29,000
Elevator didn't go quite to the top
291
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:24,450
or that the fellow had lost it
292
00:37:16,950 --> 00:37:19,560
With that prove, love
293
00:37:13,750 --> 00:37:16,950
the end of the pier and drown
294
00:37:11,350 --> 00:37:13,750
I love you. I will show my love to you jump off
295
00:37:06,130 --> 00:37:11,350
the brighton pier and danielle world world world.
296
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,130
would it make any sense for somebody to run down
297
00:37:00,700 --> 00:37:03,880
Some wag more than a century ago in Britain said,
298
00:36:59,070 --> 00:37:00,700
but so
299
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,070
cross to prove how much he loves us,
300
00:36:53,250 --> 00:36:56,160
sacrificing without an end jesus died on the
301
00:36:48,300 --> 00:36:53,250
of God in christ jesus, as if it is somehow self
302
00:36:44,250 --> 00:36:48,300
okay usually some people have depicted the love
303
00:36:38,940 --> 00:36:44,250
love for us is clear and directed
304
00:36:35,370 --> 00:36:38,940
These are the opposite. It's the purpose of god's
305
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,020
not believe stands condemned already because they
306
00:36:31,020 --> 00:36:33,420
have not believed in the name of god's one and
307
00:36:33,420 --> 00:36:35,370
only son.
308
00:36:27,390 --> 00:36:29,160
believes in him is not condemned but whoever does
309
00:36:22,770 --> 00:36:27,390
Life not to be condemned but to be saved. Whoever
310
00:36:21,510 --> 00:36:22,770
to perish but to
311
00:36:15,300 --> 00:36:18,210
into the world to condemn the world but to save
312
00:36:18,210 --> 00:36:21,510
the world through him that's the second pair, not
313
00:36:09,720 --> 00:36:12,900
have eternal life that's one pair, not perish
314
00:36:12,900 --> 00:36:15,300
have eternal life for God did not send his son
315
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,720
whoever believes in him shall not perish, but
316
00:36:05,100 --> 00:36:07,080
the world that he gave his one and only son that
317
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,100
different expressions are used for God so love
318
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,640
16 to eighteen John three 16, to eighteen
319
00:35:51,100 --> 00:35:56,340
The purpose of god's love for us number three is
320
00:35:56,340 --> 00:35:59,160
that we might have life look at the language of
321
00:35:47,260 --> 00:35:50,670
is jesus
322
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:47,260
The measure of god's love for us
323
00:35:33,250 --> 00:35:38,500
And that's what I pray for you. He says
324
00:35:27,940 --> 00:35:32,970
you are a wash in the love of God
325
00:35:25,810 --> 00:35:27,940
until South Consciously,
326
00:35:22,990 --> 00:35:25,810
mature human being
327
00:35:19,510 --> 00:35:22,990
perfectly mature. You cannot be a a genuinely
328
00:35:16,630 --> 00:35:19,510
you might be just as full as God will make you
329
00:35:13,720 --> 00:35:16,630
Paul uses when what he's saying is in order that
330
00:35:11,170 --> 00:35:13,720
full measure of God that's a an expression of
331
00:35:08,410 --> 00:35:11,170
in order. He says that you may be filled to the
332
00:35:05,050 --> 00:35:08,410
that is past knowing to know it to experience. It
333
00:35:00,190 --> 00:35:05,050
love that is not noble. That is past finding out
334
00:34:55,990 --> 00:35:00,190
dimensions and then using paradox to know this
335
00:34:52,510 --> 00:34:55,990
Using spatial metaphors to depict its limitless
336
00:34:45,050 --> 00:34:49,220
how long and wide and high and deep is the love
337
00:34:49,220 --> 00:34:52,510
of God in christ jesus
338
00:34:39,530 --> 00:34:43,010
is that together with all of god's people, you
339
00:34:43,010 --> 00:34:45,050
will learn to grasp
340
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:35,190
in the third chapter he says
341
00:34:35,190 --> 00:34:39,530
Amongst my petitions for you, he says
342
00:34:28,990 --> 00:34:31,120
in this way and he praised him this way and then,
343
00:34:25,750 --> 00:34:28,990
he tells them how he prays for them. He praised
344
00:34:23,950 --> 00:34:25,750
of emphasis
345
00:34:21,730 --> 00:34:23,950
another group of believers, this time in the city
346
00:34:18,860 --> 00:34:21,730
Indeed, the apostle Paul, when he's praying for
347
00:34:11,770 --> 00:34:17,000
who loved me and gave himself for me
348
00:34:10,570 --> 00:34:11,770
out
349
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,570
and, as he describes jesus death, he then breaks
350
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,600
tomorrow morning
351
00:34:02,860 --> 00:34:05,560
Thing called justification is will come to that
352
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,860
on what the cross achieved. What this
353
00:33:57,170 --> 00:34:00,080
chapter he's working through some very deep stuff
354
00:33:54,890 --> 00:33:57,170
the galatians and Christians in the second
355
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,890
example, in one of paul's letters, is a letter to
356
00:33:45,050 --> 00:33:46,550
what christ is done on the cross and they
357
00:33:49,970 --> 00:33:51,680
their awareness of how much their love for
358
00:33:41,330 --> 00:33:45,050
something going on in theology or some truth or
359
00:33:39,260 --> 00:33:41,330
that it is not uncommon that they're describing
360
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:31,700
So, moving is this love of God for some of the
361
00:33:35,540 --> 00:33:39,260
measured by christ jesus. So moving
362
00:33:31,700 --> 00:33:35,540
new testament writers as shown in christ jesus as
363
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:18,500
forgive them. They do not know what they're doing
364
00:33:07,310 --> 00:33:12,880
Whipped and beaten and broken and he cries father
365
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,310
depicted
366
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,710
on the passion, a lot of the physical suffering
367
00:33:01,710 --> 00:33:03,840
was pretty accurately reef
368
00:32:55,450 --> 00:32:58,560
But mel gibson
369
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:55,000
Did you see the film
370
00:32:46,690 --> 00:32:51,040
Then you find them on the cross
371
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,060
that's, not jesus
372
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,560
It isn't characterized by tears of compassionate
373
00:32:36,860 --> 00:32:40,400
decay. But it's all it's all angry.
374
00:32:34,340 --> 00:32:36,860
denounces and criticizes ines offset by moral
375
00:32:30,980 --> 00:32:34,340
There is a kind of moralizing preaching that
376
00:32:26,570 --> 00:32:27,740
literature
377
00:32:27,740 --> 00:32:30,980
who are quick to denounce but they're hypocrites.
378
00:32:23,250 --> 00:32:26,570
There are some preachers, like elmer gant re and
379
00:32:19,870 --> 00:32:23,250
the city
380
00:32:17,260 --> 00:32:19,870
end of the whole thing, you find a weeping over
381
00:32:13,030 --> 00:32:17,260
don't you see what you're doing and then at the
382
00:32:10,210 --> 00:32:13,030
snakes in the grass. You generation of fighters
383
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,210
language. He can actually call some people use
384
00:32:04,930 --> 00:32:07,480
we finish the series the series very strong
385
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,930
strong language, we'll come back to that before
386
00:31:55,630 --> 00:31:59,860
Even when he is denouncing people and generations
387
00:31:49,130 --> 00:31:55,630
gentle it's it's edifying it's it's compassionate
388
00:31:46,550 --> 00:31:49,130
builds it up it's a way of saying his love, his
389
00:31:40,010 --> 00:31:42,260
and it's bruised,
390
00:31:32,630 --> 00:31:36,590
We have a read by the side of a Lake, a place
391
00:31:36,590 --> 00:31:40,010
where Red wing black birds, flock
392
00:31:28,660 --> 00:31:32,630
He founded back into flame
393
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,660
Squeezing out the smoldering, wick
394
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,600
and instead of
395
00:31:15,380 --> 00:31:19,040
their hope. Do you hear those images a candle the
396
00:31:13,100 --> 00:31:15,380
To victory in his name, the Nations will put
397
00:31:11,970 --> 00:31:13,100
to lead
398
00:31:07,890 --> 00:31:11,970
and a smoldering wick. He will not snuff out
399
00:31:03,900 --> 00:31:07,890
in the streets a bruised Reed. He will not break
400
00:31:00,990 --> 00:31:03,900
one will heed his voice in this here. His voice
401
00:30:57,540 --> 00:31:00,990
to the Nations. He will not coral or cry out. No
402
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,540
put my spirit on him and he will proclaim Justice
403
00:30:52,380 --> 00:30:55,080
chosen the one I love and who my delight. I will
404
00:30:49,500 --> 00:30:52,380
the words are here is my servant to my have
405
00:30:44,730 --> 00:30:49,500
the prophet isaiah 700 and more years earlier,
406
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:44,730
He quote some words pertaining to himself from
407
00:30:33,130 --> 00:30:39,000
Or there's this wonderful passage in Matthew 12
408
00:30:28,060 --> 00:30:32,000
children come to me
409
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,060
jumping all over him and he says let the little
410
00:30:23,020 --> 00:30:25,840
that they're playing with jesus and
411
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,020
angry
412
00:30:19,270 --> 00:30:21,160
little children don't come to somebody. Who's
413
00:30:14,230 --> 00:30:19,270
of model for what his own disciples should be
414
00:30:10,990 --> 00:30:14,230
children and setting up little children as a kind
415
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,990
You find them also um playing with little
416
00:30:00,470 --> 00:30:06,500
shepherd and the Texas. He has compassion on them
417
00:29:56,870 --> 00:30:00,470
religiously empty. He calls them, sheep without a
418
00:29:53,030 --> 00:29:56,870
crowd that seems leaderless
419
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,030
a heart as big as all outdoors as he looks on a
420
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,720
You find them on occasion for example, with um
421
00:29:42,830 --> 00:29:46,000
love
422
00:29:40,310 --> 00:29:42,830
new testament that speak of god's love for jesus
423
00:29:36,890 --> 00:29:40,310
in jesus' life half a dozen other texts in the
424
00:29:33,470 --> 00:29:36,890
Let me just remind you of half a dozen instance
425
00:29:30,500 --> 00:29:33,470
god's love watch jesus.
426
00:29:27,890 --> 00:29:30,500
is jesus. If you want to see the full measure of
427
00:29:25,250 --> 00:29:27,890
does jesus show. The measure of god's love for us
428
00:29:21,330 --> 00:29:25,250
But it means something else as well. What love
429
00:29:12,070 --> 00:29:17,500
so that others might be spared death
430
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,070
Gladly give your child
431
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,040
child
432
00:29:03,330 --> 00:29:06,480
You who are parents would you gladly give your
433
00:28:52,060 --> 00:28:57,810
love for us is jesus, it really means two things
434
00:28:48,830 --> 00:28:52,060
Indeed, when we say that the measure of god's
435
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:46,000
God, it is that since is giving himself
436
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,920
to love us
437
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,240
gives his son for us that's how much he chooses
438
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,880
circle of love and eternity. Past. Now the father
439
00:28:26,530 --> 00:28:29,800
was already one with the father in a perfect
440
00:28:21,820 --> 00:28:26,530
who, before he became jesus as the eternal son,
441
00:28:19,350 --> 00:28:21,820
This jesus,
442
00:28:16,060 --> 00:28:19,350
is jesus
443
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,060
and the measure of this love
444
00:28:10,220 --> 00:28:12,880
It's astonishing
445
00:28:04,390 --> 00:28:09,840
But he loves them in any case
446
00:28:00,770 --> 00:28:04,390
whole are all lost
447
00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:00,770
directed on some in any case, the summer the
448
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,540
inviting some of way. This is sort of way, even
449
00:27:53,540 --> 00:27:56,480
if another passages it's particularly focused and
450
00:27:48,050 --> 00:27:50,600
john's expressions elsewhere in a yearning
451
00:27:45,230 --> 00:27:48,050
in one sense. The whole world to use one of
452
00:27:41,070 --> 00:27:45,230
God chooses to love us
453
00:27:36,250 --> 00:27:39,630
God ourselves
454
00:27:33,140 --> 00:27:36,250
We thumb our noses at them and what will become
455
00:27:29,100 --> 00:27:33,140
And then, when he does make us
456
00:27:24,830 --> 00:27:29,100
There was a profession of love and eternal t bast
457
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,830
doesn't need us
458
00:27:19,450 --> 00:27:22,320
We've already seen that the God who is there
459
00:27:10,170 --> 00:27:16,820
passed our wildest. Most generous imaginations
460
00:27:06,540 --> 00:27:10,170
son, love the father in a perfection of love
461
00:27:03,150 --> 00:27:06,540
father love the Sun in a perfection of love the
462
00:26:58,260 --> 00:27:03,150
meditation on the fact that any turn a t past the
463
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,260
priestly prayer, where this a kind of extended
464
00:26:51,750 --> 00:26:54,720
chapter 17 that is sometimes called jesus, hi
465
00:26:49,380 --> 00:26:51,750
for the father there's, a wonderful chapter
466
00:26:47,310 --> 00:26:49,380
of the father for the son and the love of the Sun
467
00:26:44,070 --> 00:26:47,310
is rich and expressions that talk about the love
468
00:26:40,950 --> 00:26:44,070
Now you've got to understand that john's gospel
469
00:26:36,460 --> 00:26:40,950
sent his one and only son
470
00:26:28,540 --> 00:26:31,120
the measure of god's love for us is jesus look at
471
00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:36,460
verse. 16 again. God, so love the world that he
472
00:26:24,310 --> 00:26:28,540
the measure of god's love for us, his cheeses,
473
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,310
Then second,
474
00:26:09,500 --> 00:26:13,640
its considered. Wonderful, surprising
475
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,830
in some ways, not the way it ought to be. Why
476
00:26:15,830 --> 00:26:20,000
doesn't he just condemn us. instead
477
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:09,500
three gods love is always marveled at
478
00:25:46,250 --> 00:25:50,540
Not because you're so lovable
479
00:25:58,980 --> 00:26:04,400
That's why, in the bible this side of genesis,
480
00:25:50,540 --> 00:25:55,000
But because I'm that kind of God
481
00:25:42,780 --> 00:25:46,100
I love you anyway
482
00:25:39,570 --> 00:25:42,780
And you know what
483
00:25:29,130 --> 00:25:32,750
personality
484
00:25:17,140 --> 00:25:21,010
You are the people of the crippled knees.
485
00:25:25,980 --> 00:25:29,130
You are the people of the rampage angus con
486
00:25:32,750 --> 00:25:39,570
You are height hateful and spiteful and murderous
487
00:25:21,010 --> 00:25:25,980
You are the people of the moral halitosis
488
00:25:12,250 --> 00:25:17,140
it's as if God is saying to the world.
489
00:25:10,270 --> 00:25:12,250
the world
490
00:25:05,980 --> 00:25:10,270
But the text says God, so loved
491
00:25:02,550 --> 00:25:05,980
light on a doesn't show up the dirt
492
00:25:00,570 --> 00:25:02,550
People don't want to be exposed to that kind of
493
00:24:57,050 --> 00:25:00,570
Because your needs are evil
494
00:24:54,150 --> 00:24:57,050
instead of like
495
00:24:51,270 --> 00:24:54,150
coming to the world, but people have darkness
496
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:51,270
light that is so good and clean and pure it is
497
00:24:43,830 --> 00:24:46,920
god's gracious self disclosure. His revelation
498
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,830
into the world that is with the coming of jesus
499
00:24:37,860 --> 00:24:41,760
verse 19. This is the verdict. Light has come
500
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:37,860
on
501
00:24:33,420 --> 00:24:36,720
It's why we read in this passage a little farther
502
00:24:30,370 --> 00:24:33,420
recognize him
503
00:24:28,510 --> 00:24:30,370
the world was made through him, the world did not
504
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,240
of john's gospel.
505
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,510
We read verse 10. He was in the world and though
506
00:24:19,570 --> 00:24:22,840
looked at two sessions back the so called pro log
507
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,570
That's why I already in the first chapter that we
508
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,790
Infidelity and wickedness
509
00:24:02,940 --> 00:24:06,150
and that is rebelled against him in hateful mus
510
00:24:06,150 --> 00:24:09,720
and idolatry and genuine broken relationship.
511
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,940
human centered created order that God has made
512
00:23:54,190 --> 00:23:59,160
Rather, the word world in john's gospel is this
513
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,190
it
514
00:23:47,900 --> 00:23:51,080
is not just a big place with a lot of people in
515
00:23:43,070 --> 00:23:47,900
because the word world in john's gospel typically
516
00:23:38,250 --> 00:23:43,070
But then quickly that is a load of nonsense
517
00:23:34,020 --> 00:23:38,240
loves us must be because we're lovable
518
00:23:30,630 --> 00:23:34,020
I'm okay you're okay, God says we're okay. He
519
00:23:27,290 --> 00:23:30,630
you. It must be the
520
00:23:24,170 --> 00:23:27,290
of God in exactly that way. If God says, I love
521
00:23:21,830 --> 00:23:24,170
There are a lot of psychologists who use the love
522
00:23:17,340 --> 00:23:21,830
is he declaring the lovable nest of the world
523
00:23:15,140 --> 00:23:17,340
In other words, when God says, I love you world
524
00:23:11,820 --> 00:23:15,140
that what he say
525
00:23:09,090 --> 00:23:11,820
I love you. I can't imagine having without you is
526
00:23:06,150 --> 00:23:09,090
world and your cute.
527
00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:06,150
your which your gift
528
00:23:01,530 --> 00:23:03,360
conversation,
529
00:22:49,850 --> 00:22:54,000
world. I love you
530
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,530
your scintillating personality you're intelligent
531
00:22:47,450 --> 00:22:49,850
the world. What is he saying
532
00:22:44,540 --> 00:22:47,450
Now God comes along and this verse, God, so love
533
00:22:41,730 --> 00:22:44,540
isn't that correct
534
00:22:39,060 --> 00:22:41,730
declaring the tie that moment he finds her lovely
535
00:22:36,570 --> 00:22:39,060
declares his love for her in part, he is
536
00:22:34,500 --> 00:22:36,570
He doesn't mean that doesn't, he, when he
537
00:22:30,120 --> 00:22:34,500
woman and I love you
538
00:22:25,260 --> 00:22:30,120
miserable self righteous. Narcissistic hateful
539
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,260
you don't have any sense of humor you're, a
540
00:22:17,850 --> 00:22:22,320
You have the personality of ganga sc on
541
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,850
of a of a crippled camel.
542
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,160
Your knees remind me of a crooked cam
543
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:11,000
rampaging elephants
544
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,470
creature. I know
545
00:22:03,100 --> 00:22:07,440
Your how to toe sis would stop uh heard of
546
00:21:54,980 --> 00:21:58,520
So, quite frankly, you are the most holy
547
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,980
Mean is
548
00:21:48,780 --> 00:21:52,240
sue. I love you. What he does
549
00:21:46,500 --> 00:21:48,780
brings down the whole room it's so contagious
550
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,500
an encouraging or you've got this laugh that
551
00:21:41,250 --> 00:21:44,280
your personality. It is so wonderful you're such
552
00:21:37,770 --> 00:21:41,250
smile there's nothing about you. I don't love
553
00:21:33,030 --> 00:21:37,770
them the smell of your hair. The dimples when you
554
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:33,030
so the color of your eyes. I could just sink into
555
00:21:25,710 --> 00:21:28,080
it might actually come out
556
00:21:22,510 --> 00:21:25,710
And if he said he got any sort of romantic twist,
557
00:21:18,150 --> 00:21:22,500
that he finds her lovable
558
00:21:09,390 --> 00:21:13,890
I'll tell you what he doesn't mean
559
00:21:13,890 --> 00:21:18,150
When he says, I love you, he is in part saying
560
00:21:02,700 --> 00:21:04,860
in. He wants to go to bed with her fourth, with
561
00:21:00,300 --> 00:21:02,700
He may simply mean that his hormones are jumping
562
00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:00,300
We could be a lot of things
563
00:20:52,690 --> 00:20:56,160
What does he mean
564
00:20:48,940 --> 00:20:52,690
I really do
565
00:20:42,540 --> 00:20:46,750
He takes her hand and he says soon
566
00:20:46,750 --> 00:20:48,940
I love you,
567
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,540
their toes.
568
00:20:38,250 --> 00:20:40,680
their sandals feel a wet, says squish between
569
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,250
The Sun has made the send warm they kick off
570
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,800
It's the end of the academic year
571
00:20:24,470 --> 00:20:26,990
University students,
572
00:20:26,990 --> 00:20:31,600
Bob and sue are walking down a Beach
573
00:20:22,850 --> 00:20:24,470
an illustration. I've sometimes used with
574
00:20:17,150 --> 00:20:19,280
the story line of scripture. We have to rethink
575
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,850
it again. Let me come in from the side door. It's
576
00:20:10,460 --> 00:20:14,390
not to love is there
577
00:20:14,390 --> 00:20:17,150
But you see this is already so far removed from
578
00:20:07,490 --> 00:20:10,460
of course, God will love me mean nothing in the
579
00:20:03,890 --> 00:20:07,490
I don't beat up on people I'm pretty decent blog
580
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,890
neighborly and maybe even cute,
581
00:19:57,740 --> 00:20:00,320
especially out to love me because I'm nice and
582
00:19:55,340 --> 00:19:57,740
only do we think that God is to love but he's,
583
00:19:52,210 --> 00:19:55,340
The reason we don't think this way is because not
584
00:19:46,790 --> 00:19:52,210
bible delights to marvel at god's love
585
00:19:42,510 --> 00:19:46,790
Via large that's not the way we think, but the
586
00:19:38,270 --> 00:19:41,380
loves us
587
00:19:33,710 --> 00:19:38,270
in the bible, it is simply astonishing that God
588
00:19:29,630 --> 00:19:33,710
passage and related ones. First,
589
00:19:26,570 --> 00:19:29,630
comments. Let me draw some inferences from this
590
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:26,570
Now, then, let me make a couple of um
591
00:19:16,730 --> 00:19:20,530
has been done in the sight of God
592
00:19:13,580 --> 00:19:16,730
plainly that what they have done
593
00:19:10,820 --> 00:19:13,580
come into the light so that it may be seen
594
00:19:07,070 --> 00:19:10,820
will be exposed, but those who live by the truth
595
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,680
all those who do evil hates the light and will
596
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,070
not Come into the light for fear that their deeds
597
00:18:59,220 --> 00:19:01,080
were evil
598
00:18:56,610 --> 00:18:59,220
darkness instead of light because their deeds
599
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,740
name of god's one and only son.
600
00:18:52,620 --> 00:18:56,610
light has come into the world but people love
601
00:18:49,740 --> 00:18:52,620
This is the verdict
602
00:18:45,180 --> 00:18:47,040
already because they have not believed in the
603
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,530
condemn the world, but to save the world through
604
00:18:33,510 --> 00:18:35,760
For God did not send his son into the world to
605
00:18:43,110 --> 00:18:45,180
whoever does not believe stands, condemned
606
00:18:37,530 --> 00:18:43,110
him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned but
607
00:18:30,470 --> 00:18:33,510
but have eternal life
608
00:18:26,090 --> 00:18:28,520
only son
609
00:18:22,730 --> 00:18:26,090
God, so loved the world that he gave his one and
610
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,470
that whoever believes in him shall not perish,
611
00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:19,400
believes may have eternal life in him than we
612
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,730
read verse 16 for
613
00:18:06,230 --> 00:18:09,140
we've come to the end of the direct discourse
614
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,410
special revelation that he's mentioned that moses
615
00:18:15,410 --> 00:18:17,360
lifting up the snake. So that everyone who
616
00:18:09,140 --> 00:18:13,400
about um new birth and so forth. Crisis claims
617
00:18:04,190 --> 00:18:06,230
chapter three
618
00:18:01,220 --> 00:18:04,190
Now, then, let me read these verses from John
619
00:17:52,530 --> 00:17:56,100
take no care to see the wonderful diversity of
620
00:17:47,250 --> 00:17:49,890
you read the biblical text by taking one verse
621
00:17:56,100 --> 00:18:01,220
ways in which the bible speaks of god's love
622
00:17:49,890 --> 00:17:52,530
out of its context. Universal rising it and and
623
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,250
up, be careful. You do not make silly mistakes as
624
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:37,000
back before midnight. I love them anyway
625
00:17:28,670 --> 00:17:31,400
My kids don't earn my love by bringing the car
626
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,840
And yet, at the same time, there are different
627
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,680
contexts in which, in which god's love is spoken
628
00:17:26,570 --> 00:17:28,670
god's love.
629
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,570
because at the end of the day, you can't earn
630
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,950
different ways
631
00:17:21,950 --> 00:17:24,920
in one sense, you want to affirm that absolutely
632
00:17:18,110 --> 00:17:19,760
language in different contexts and slightly
633
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,690
True or false
634
00:17:15,530 --> 00:17:18,110
because, because the bible can use god's love
635
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,480
anymore
636
00:17:13,580 --> 00:17:15,530
it depends on the passage to you. Do you see
637
00:17:11,690 --> 00:17:13,580
yeah you've been,
638
00:17:02,220 --> 00:17:05,480
You can't do anything to make God love you
639
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:59,850
god's own sovereign selection do you see
640
00:16:51,370 --> 00:16:54,280
obedience and still others, words grounded in
641
00:16:49,570 --> 00:16:51,370
the ones. I mentioned where it's dependent upon
642
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,570
but there are other contexts like the fifth of
643
00:16:44,470 --> 00:16:47,080
loves people just the same,
644
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,950
Deploys language of love in really cast god's
645
00:16:42,340 --> 00:16:44,470
out of love upon the just and up on the undersea
646
00:16:38,950 --> 00:16:42,340
love as a moral he sends his son and his reign
647
00:16:29,950 --> 00:16:34,360
Because some of the passages that the bible
648
00:16:24,870 --> 00:16:29,950
And the answer is yes
649
00:16:21,010 --> 00:16:24,870
True or not true
650
00:16:16,930 --> 00:16:21,010
God loves everybody just the same
651
00:16:11,570 --> 00:16:16,930
So people sometimes come along with cliches like
652
00:16:06,870 --> 00:16:10,760
where it's selective
653
00:16:02,550 --> 00:16:06,870
which it's rightly said to be immoral and others
654
00:16:00,180 --> 00:16:02,550
this. Why does can be imagine some context in
655
00:15:57,450 --> 00:16:00,180
There are contexts in which god's roth is is
656
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,770
covenant to lob litigation where god's roth might
657
00:15:55,770 --> 00:15:57,450
well break ow.
658
00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:52,560
family responsibilities or in biblical terms,
659
00:15:48,210 --> 00:15:50,100
another matrix where there are agreements and
660
00:15:45,750 --> 00:15:48,210
them. There's, a matrix in which that's true
661
00:15:39,420 --> 00:15:42,240
the language changes just a wee bit did you see,
662
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,750
I don't think my unconditional love changed for
663
00:15:36,630 --> 00:15:39,420
where it's the same kids. The same dad, but but
664
00:15:30,580 --> 00:15:34,530
getting the flipping car home
665
00:15:34,530 --> 00:15:36,630
In other words, there are different contexts
666
00:15:28,810 --> 00:15:30,580
you. It was conditional on our bang me and
667
00:15:26,830 --> 00:15:28,810
And that's my love was quite conditional. Thank
668
00:15:21,690 --> 00:15:26,830
If they weren't, they face the rough of dad
669
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,690
sure your home by midnight
670
00:15:11,810 --> 00:15:14,630
context, when they were just kids
671
00:15:14,630 --> 00:15:17,720
learning to drive if I said to one of them make
672
00:15:08,750 --> 00:15:11,810
I love him unconditionally, yet in another
673
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,750
He's my son.
674
00:15:03,740 --> 00:15:06,200
I think I love it anyway.
675
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,740
streets of New York
676
00:14:56,750 --> 00:15:00,640
And if, instead, he started selling heroin on the
677
00:14:51,980 --> 00:14:56,310
I have a son who's, a Marine
678
00:14:45,860 --> 00:14:51,520
She's my daughter I love her unconditionally
679
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,860
I think I love her anyway
680
00:14:39,740 --> 00:14:42,360
La
681
00:14:37,250 --> 00:14:39,740
If, instead she became a hooker on the streets of
682
00:14:33,010 --> 00:14:37,250
disadvantaged kids
683
00:14:30,070 --> 00:14:33,010
In California who works with them
684
00:14:25,950 --> 00:14:30,070
I have a daughter
685
00:14:21,420 --> 00:14:25,100
unconditionally
686
00:14:17,340 --> 00:14:21,420
I believe so help me God. I love my children
687
00:14:13,030 --> 00:14:17,340
or again. I can say
688
00:14:08,020 --> 00:14:09,580
Aren't they
689
00:14:09,580 --> 00:14:13,030
and they really have different weight
690
00:14:05,620 --> 00:14:08,020
because they are really quite different contexts.
691
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:05,620
sentence too often, my wife will not be pleased
692
00:13:58,190 --> 00:14:00,760
But if I put all three together in the same
693
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,000
and I love my wife
694
00:13:51,220 --> 00:13:54,160
I love riding my motorcycle. I love would work
695
00:13:46,970 --> 00:13:51,220
mean I could say with a straight face
696
00:13:44,210 --> 00:13:46,970
speak this way, even if human love don't we, I
697
00:13:41,420 --> 00:13:44,210
that it can't be all that difficult because we
698
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,840
asking how do you put all this stuff together
699
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,420
But after you get over the first shot, you see
700
00:13:27,650 --> 00:13:32,950
speak of god's love and conditional terms
701
00:13:32,950 --> 00:13:34,840
That you see how subtle it is because you started
702
00:13:25,130 --> 00:13:27,650
so there is a context in which the bible can
703
00:13:21,380 --> 00:13:25,130
of those who love me and keep my commandments
704
00:13:18,530 --> 00:13:21,380
He shows his mercy to generation after generation
705
00:13:16,670 --> 00:13:18,530
this.
706
00:13:14,510 --> 00:13:16,670
Even in the 10 commandments, we saw words like
707
00:13:09,230 --> 00:13:14,510
sense, conditional on our obedience
708
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,230
testament where jesus love for us is in some
709
00:13:02,310 --> 00:13:05,000
And indeed, there are a lot of passages in both
710
00:12:58,290 --> 00:13:01,500
all
711
00:12:55,710 --> 00:12:58,290
the love of God there's a moral dimension to it
712
00:12:52,500 --> 00:12:55,710
Which shows that you might not keep yourself and
713
00:12:47,530 --> 00:12:52,500
yourselves in the love of God
714
00:12:43,780 --> 00:12:47,530
finds June the half brother of jesus writing keep
715
00:12:40,390 --> 00:12:43,780
bible, a little one page book called jude,
716
00:12:37,340 --> 00:12:40,390
Thus, for example, the second last book of the
717
00:12:30,290 --> 00:12:36,460
then his love becomes quite conditional
718
00:12:20,510 --> 00:12:24,470
sometimes once God is in connection in covenant
719
00:12:27,110 --> 00:12:30,290
and agreement connection with his own people,
720
00:12:24,470 --> 00:12:27,110
with use that term in a kind of family connection
721
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,510
And then there's still one more
722
00:12:15,430 --> 00:12:17,720
love
723
00:12:09,670 --> 00:12:13,330
sovereign choice
724
00:12:07,510 --> 00:12:09,670
other Nations because he love them it's a
725
00:12:13,330 --> 00:12:15,430
That's another way that the bible speaks of god's
726
00:12:05,230 --> 00:12:07,510
affection on Israel as a part as opposed to the
727
00:12:02,170 --> 00:12:05,230
the same. It's not in the context he he said his
728
00:11:57,010 --> 00:12:00,100
And in that context, this is why he chose Israel
729
00:11:52,150 --> 00:11:57,010
But is he loved. You because he loves you
730
00:11:48,470 --> 00:11:52,150
because he loved you
731
00:11:43,860 --> 00:11:48,470
He said his affection on you, the text says
732
00:11:38,270 --> 00:11:42,130
Because you're more righteous
733
00:11:31,870 --> 00:11:34,090
dope
734
00:11:36,250 --> 00:11:38,270
nope
735
00:11:34,090 --> 00:11:36,250
because you're more mighty
736
00:11:30,100 --> 00:11:31,870
more numerous
737
00:11:27,550 --> 00:11:30,100
He takes off the possibilities because you're
738
00:11:23,470 --> 00:11:27,550
question. Why did he choose the nation of his
739
00:11:20,740 --> 00:11:23,470
chapter seven and 10 God raises the rhetorical
740
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,740
genesis exodus leviticus numbers deuteronomy in
741
00:11:15,970 --> 00:11:17,920
that's the fifth book of the old testament
742
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,970
and autonomy do Toronto me seven during a me 10
743
00:11:09,430 --> 00:11:12,520
very strong language in the remarkable passages
744
00:11:05,620 --> 00:11:09,430
Jacob have I loved, but esau have I hated very,
745
00:10:56,140 --> 00:11:01,150
elective. It is choosing it is frankly
746
00:11:01,150 --> 00:11:05,620
discriminating it chooses one and not another.
747
00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:56,140
god's love is
748
00:10:50,380 --> 00:10:53,680
of talking about god's love. Some kind sometimes
749
00:10:44,890 --> 00:10:47,410
A fourth way of speaking is not a fourth kind of
750
00:10:47,410 --> 00:10:50,380
love. It's a fourth kind of speech, a fourth way
751
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,890
For the third fourth guide
752
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,360
the world
753
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,120
And we'll discover here in a moment God, so love
754
00:10:30,210 --> 00:10:31,770
wicked
755
00:10:31,770 --> 00:10:35,480
he's. That kind of God he invites
756
00:10:28,290 --> 00:10:30,210
the lord has no pleasure in the death of the
757
00:10:23,910 --> 00:10:28,290
perverse, saying turn turn, why would you die for
758
00:10:21,450 --> 00:10:23,910
testament when, when the nation is particularly
759
00:10:18,780 --> 00:10:21,450
so you find God addressing Israel in the old
760
00:10:14,460 --> 00:10:18,780
Commanding your earning sense
761
00:10:09,660 --> 00:10:14,460
a kind of moral inviting
762
00:10:07,230 --> 00:10:09,660
love is this sometimes it speaks of god's love in
763
00:10:04,620 --> 00:10:07,230
then. Another way that the bible speaks of god's
764
00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:04,620
that's another context,
765
00:09:57,930 --> 00:10:01,680
extend so generously to to friend and foe alike
766
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,350
your enemies
767
00:09:55,350 --> 00:09:57,930
so there is a sense in which god's love can
768
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,160
your enemy and only love your friends and hate
769
00:09:49,260 --> 00:09:51,240
distinctions about who's your friend and who is
770
00:09:47,220 --> 00:09:49,260
shouldn't make all these fine fine fine
771
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,220
his reign upon the just and the unjust, then you
772
00:09:40,530 --> 00:09:44,880
that fact to say if, if God can send his son and
773
00:09:37,830 --> 00:09:40,530
In fact, in the sermon on the mount jesus can use
774
00:09:21,790 --> 00:09:26,830
and his reign upon the just and upon the unjust
775
00:09:30,340 --> 00:09:32,920
discriminating. It is an immoral, a, not an
776
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:37,830
immoral and amarillo of he sustains both
777
00:09:26,830 --> 00:09:30,340
that is to say it is some providential and non
778
00:09:17,430 --> 00:09:21,790
providential setting God sends We're told his son
779
00:09:08,580 --> 00:09:11,340
god's love. Another way
780
00:09:04,770 --> 00:09:06,750
perfectly lovely and they love each other
781
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,770
the son is perfectly lovely and the father's
782
00:09:06,750 --> 00:09:08,580
perfectly that's one way the bible speaks of
783
00:08:58,890 --> 00:09:02,040
are a hopeless case, but I love you anyway
784
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,770
is perfect
785
00:08:43,140 --> 00:08:46,440
amongst the members of the godhead
786
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,890
if the father says to the son frankly, you really
787
00:08:49,770 --> 00:08:56,160
And each one who is loved is lovely it's not as
788
00:08:41,190 --> 00:08:43,140
referred to as the trinity, then it's love
789
00:08:38,580 --> 00:08:41,190
track. Tryna terry and love. If God can be
790
00:08:31,660 --> 00:08:38,580
This love in the godhead. This people call it in
791
00:08:27,700 --> 00:08:31,290
his father as well
792
00:08:25,660 --> 00:08:27,700
Is first of all because he loves his father and
793
00:08:13,110 --> 00:08:15,390
what pleases him in the context. What pleases him
794
00:08:15,390 --> 00:08:21,190
is the jesus should go to the cross on our behalf
795
00:08:08,730 --> 00:08:13,110
must know that I love the father and always do
796
00:08:21,190 --> 00:08:25,660
Quite jesus goes to the cross
797
00:08:06,090 --> 00:08:08,730
Just before going to the cross says the world
798
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:06,090
father always does whatever pleases him in fact
799
00:07:59,750 --> 00:08:01,520
were told explicitly that the son loves the
800
00:07:54,140 --> 00:07:56,030
all should honor the Sun even as they honor the
801
00:07:56,030 --> 00:07:59,750
father exclusively the father loves the son and
802
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,140
the father loves the son is has determined that
803
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,130
but john's gospel for example, the fourth book in
804
00:07:46,130 --> 00:07:48,380
the new testament, says that the father loves the
805
00:07:48,380 --> 00:07:51,680
son and commend everything into his hand
806
00:07:40,910 --> 00:07:43,760
spirit. Yet there's more to come,
807
00:07:39,140 --> 00:07:40,910
spirit I really haven't mentioned much about the
808
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,140
and later on we'll see that this extends to the
809
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,200
Of his son, for the father
810
00:07:29,020 --> 00:07:32,600
father for his son and the
811
00:07:25,330 --> 00:07:29,020
say this within the godhead the love of the
812
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:25,330
There is love of God. I don't know how else to
813
00:07:15,670 --> 00:07:20,560
dares to speak of the love of God, number one.
814
00:07:10,300 --> 00:07:12,370
are probably not the only way, but but but at
815
00:07:12,370 --> 00:07:15,670
least five different contexts in which the bible
816
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,300
God. Let me run the through them quickly. These
817
00:07:05,980 --> 00:07:07,960
different ways. The bible speaks of the love of
818
00:06:58,900 --> 00:07:02,230
The difficult doctrine of the love of God
819
00:07:02,230 --> 00:07:05,980
tries to lay out amongst other things, five
820
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,900
The little book that um was mentioned earlier.
821
00:06:50,290 --> 00:06:55,000
pretty spongy notions of love
822
00:06:46,750 --> 00:06:50,290
love in fact, I think we have developed some
823
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,750
relatively easy to believe that God is a God of
824
00:06:40,300 --> 00:06:43,480
But precisely because our culture finds it
825
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,300
about that. yet
826
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,400
spectacular being and loveliness will say more
827
00:06:30,860 --> 00:06:34,160
his glory, his his manifestation of his
828
00:06:27,620 --> 00:06:30,860
his um truthfulness
829
00:06:24,350 --> 00:06:27,620
about that little later in the series
830
00:06:22,070 --> 00:06:24,350
love. True and his holiness, I will say more
831
00:06:17,100 --> 00:06:19,850
And that means when we think of god's love, we
832
00:06:19,850 --> 00:06:22,070
need to think of god's other attributes to god's
833
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,000
and priority
834
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,240
roundly. There is no way on god's Green Earth. He
835
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:13,240
is um condemning moral discernment
836
00:06:00,250 --> 00:06:04,480
hypocritical, he condemns that repeatedly and
837
00:05:58,750 --> 00:06:00,250
righteous,
838
00:05:55,510 --> 00:05:58,750
The kind of judgment that is judgemental self
839
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,510
jesus does
840
00:05:48,650 --> 00:05:54,080
haven't even begun to understand who jesus is
841
00:05:46,820 --> 00:05:48,650
immorality and leaving it all to you. They
842
00:05:43,340 --> 00:05:46,820
judged means is that jesus is abolishing all
843
00:05:39,410 --> 00:05:43,340
So if what people think judge not that ye be not
844
00:05:27,590 --> 00:05:31,010
important does judge not that ye be not judged
845
00:05:31,010 --> 00:05:36,560
there are always context. He is an astonishingly
846
00:05:24,630 --> 00:05:27,590
In other words, when jesus says something as
847
00:05:20,980 --> 00:05:24,180
pigs are
848
00:05:19,410 --> 00:05:20,980
Which means somebody's got to figure out who the
849
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,410
pearls before swine
850
00:05:10,210 --> 00:05:15,040
To say just five verses later do not cast your
851
00:05:06,190 --> 00:05:09,610
judge lest you be judged.
852
00:05:09,610 --> 00:05:10,210
He goes
853
00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:02,620
that too is a condemnation of those who don't in
854
00:05:02,620 --> 00:05:06,190
fact, in the very text where jesus says, do not
855
00:04:58,150 --> 00:05:00,280
mind and strength
856
00:04:53,740 --> 00:04:56,650
implicit judgment on those who don't
857
00:04:56,650 --> 00:04:58,150
know about loving God with heart and soul and
858
00:04:50,140 --> 00:04:53,740
about loving your neighbor as yourself, that's an
859
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,140
implement implicit judgment on liars
860
00:04:43,510 --> 00:04:46,240
to telling the truth doesn't that stand is an
861
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,510
Why, then does he gives so many injunctions about
862
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,000
meant
863
00:04:33,940 --> 00:04:36,880
morally discriminating judgment is that what he
864
00:04:29,980 --> 00:04:33,940
But did he really mean by that, do not make any
865
00:04:18,490 --> 00:04:23,250
Christians, God help us are mean
866
00:04:26,820 --> 00:04:29,980
you be not judged
867
00:04:23,980 --> 00:04:26,820
And it's true that jesus said do not judge that
868
00:04:11,110 --> 00:04:14,020
everybody do whatever they want and that's what
869
00:04:14,020 --> 00:04:18,490
love means and it's true that sometimes
870
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,110
nonjudgmental doesn't condemn anybody let
871
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,680
both the nature of love, isn't. There it's
872
00:04:04,630 --> 00:04:06,520
Now, there's a certain kind of assumption. There
873
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,630
Christians. There are so Ny
874
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:00,760
than the world be a better place for those
875
00:03:56,260 --> 00:03:59,200
nonjudgmental and loving the way jesus is loving
876
00:03:51,490 --> 00:03:54,070
wonderful jesus said, judge, not that ye be not
877
00:03:54,070 --> 00:03:56,260
judged. You know if we could all just be
878
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,490
and if everybody was just like jesus, would be
879
00:03:46,010 --> 00:03:49,480
It's Christians I don't like I mean God, is love
880
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,720
So occasionally a find somebody saying
881
00:03:38,290 --> 00:03:41,200
notions of what love means.
882
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,290
spongy
883
00:03:33,730 --> 00:03:36,400
of the love of God has also comes some fairly
884
00:03:29,750 --> 00:03:33,730
Yet with this being comfortable with the notion
885
00:03:25,790 --> 00:03:29,000
love
886
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,790
find it by and large, easy to believe in god's
887
00:03:18,650 --> 00:03:22,760
but today, if people believe in God at all, they
888
00:03:12,260 --> 00:03:15,020
which teams are biblical in some degree or
889
00:03:15,020 --> 00:03:18,650
another, some massively, so, then, on his love,
890
00:03:07,430 --> 00:03:12,260
terror or is sovereignty or his holiness. All of
891
00:03:03,950 --> 00:03:07,430
there has been more emphasis on god's
892
00:03:01,070 --> 00:03:03,950
And sometimes, in the history of the church,
893
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,360
arbitrary mean spirited malicious. That's. Why
894
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,070
you have to placate them
895
00:02:53,530 --> 00:02:55,480
Many people have thought of the gods is pretty
896
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,120
That is not always been the case in human
897
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,530
history.
898
00:02:44,850 --> 00:02:48,280
that he's a loving God
899
00:02:40,410 --> 00:02:44,850
about God if our world believes in God at all is
900
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,410
there is one thing that our world thinks it knows
901
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:35,880
little more generally about love of God, for if
902
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,150
but before we do that, um, I want to talk a
903
00:02:16,110 --> 00:02:19,890
versus in the same chapter that we looked at in
904
00:02:23,220 --> 00:02:26,760
picking up from verse 16,
905
00:01:56,210 --> 00:01:59,780
This talk provides is the mira, ste introduction
906
00:01:59,780 --> 00:02:02,840
to one of the grandest themes found in all the
907
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:08,560
bible. This is the God who loves
908
00:01:55,750 --> 00:01:56,210
what
909
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,750
session to 10 or 20. This is it
910
00:01:48,700 --> 00:01:51,280
wish, I could have taken time to expand one
911
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,700
If there is any place in this series where I
912
00:01:39,850 --> 00:01:44,680
upon those who praise him and those who hate him.
913
00:01:37,030 --> 00:01:39,850
and his reign upon the just and the unjust alike
914
00:01:29,950 --> 00:01:32,890
who may in some cases be bitter enemies
915
00:01:32,890 --> 00:01:37,030
must reflect the love of God who sends his son
916
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,950
our fellow human beings who are not believers and
917
00:01:23,590 --> 00:01:27,520
comparison seems to be while the Love we have for
918
00:01:18,670 --> 00:01:23,590
life within God himself, as mind boggling as the
919
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,230
transforming.
920
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,670
should mirror and be part of the internal love
921
00:01:12,250 --> 00:01:15,160
the love Christians ought to have for each other,
922
00:01:08,230 --> 00:01:12,250
Indeed, the bible goes so far as to insist that
923
00:00:54,370 --> 00:00:57,520
What the bible says about god's love is rich.
924
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,760
It's evocative diverse,
925
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:06,280
powerful, humbling, subtle and utterly life
926
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:54,370
in fact
927
00:00:48,390 --> 00:00:53,040
grandfather figure whose main aim is to spoil us
928
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,180
lives still less actually love us.
929
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,400
interested in the nitty gritty of our little
930
00:00:45,180 --> 00:00:48,390
Others think of him as a sweet spirited Super
931
00:00:36,660 --> 00:00:39,120
distant day. It you could not possibly be
932
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,660
Others think of him as a transcendent, but
933
00:00:26,550 --> 00:00:28,920
who loves
934
00:00:32,130 --> 00:00:34,080
force.
935
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:02,870
and grateful I am selfish and immature
936
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,130
some people think of God, as an impersonal life
937
00:00:19,450 --> 00:00:23,610
