WEBVTT

00:00:00.010 --> 00:00:02.910
Hey, I'm glad that all of the kids are in the

00:00:02.910 --> 00:00:06.389
service today. It's like one big family for those

00:00:06.389 --> 00:00:10.330
that showed up. But yeah, we love to have the

00:00:10.330 --> 00:00:15.250
kids in together. And one of the reasons I love

00:00:15.250 --> 00:00:17.149
it is there's so much energy in the room when

00:00:17.149 --> 00:00:21.170
the kids show up, right? And sometimes that results

00:00:21.170 --> 00:00:24.769
in a lot of noise, and that's okay. We're okay

00:00:24.769 --> 00:00:27.760
with noise. So if you have kids, you're used

00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:29.719
to it. If you don't have kids, you'll be okay.

00:00:30.179 --> 00:00:33.119
You got this. We're going to push through today

00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:37.479
all together. So as Jared shared, our vision

00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:44.299
for children is Christ -like kids that look to

00:00:44.299 --> 00:00:48.259
Jesus. So before we go any farther, that's actually

00:00:48.259 --> 00:00:51.280
a good thing for all of us. All of us looking

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:53.340
to Jesus, not just for the kids, but that is

00:00:53.340 --> 00:00:57.439
the vision. Let's pray and ask God to really

00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:00.560
just press into our lives this morning as we

00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:05.579
open God's word. Lord, we come before you as

00:01:05.579 --> 00:01:10.620
a bunch of people that are broken and a mess,

00:01:10.700 --> 00:01:18.459
if we're really honest, and we need you. Lord,

00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:23.920
I'm reminded that in the Beatitudes it starts

00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.819
off with those who are poor in spirit. That's

00:01:27.819 --> 00:01:30.260
where we start. And so, Lord, we want to just

00:01:30.260 --> 00:01:33.180
lay before you the fact, acknowledging the fact

00:01:33.180 --> 00:01:36.340
that we are all a bunch of dark -hearted, black

00:01:36.340 --> 00:01:39.760
-hearted, jacked -up sinners in need of grace.

00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:43.040
And so we just come before you and say, help

00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:49.689
us. Help us, Holy Spirit, to see. Lord, we want

00:01:49.689 --> 00:01:52.769
to look to you today and fix our eyes on you.

00:01:52.829 --> 00:01:54.730
Will you help us do that as we open your word?

00:01:55.390 --> 00:02:00.290
Amen. So this morning, the title of this message,

00:02:00.370 --> 00:02:03.349
which I sometimes don't do titles, but I'm going

00:02:03.349 --> 00:02:05.010
to do one this morning. We're just going to be

00:02:05.010 --> 00:02:07.069
in John. We just plow right through a book of

00:02:07.069 --> 00:02:09.110
the Bible, which is what we're doing. But it

00:02:09.110 --> 00:02:12.150
really, if I was going to give a title to this

00:02:12.150 --> 00:02:19.300
message, it would be simply, Look to Jesus. That's

00:02:19.300 --> 00:02:22.900
a theme, that's a message that we all need. No

00:02:22.900 --> 00:02:24.360
matter where you're at, no matter what's going

00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:27.759
on in your life, you and I need to look to Jesus.

00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:32.300
That's where it all starts. So let me tell you,

00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:34.219
I want to share with you a little bit of my story,

00:02:34.340 --> 00:02:37.659
which I haven't done a lot, but just how I came

00:02:37.659 --> 00:02:42.860
to know Jesus. So I'll take you back to six years,

00:02:42.979 --> 00:02:45.699
I was six years old. I was the cutest little

00:02:45.699 --> 00:02:47.300
six -year -old I ever saw. No, I was kidding.

00:02:47.849 --> 00:02:53.370
I was six years old. I grew up in the village

00:02:53.370 --> 00:02:55.469
of Ruby. Started in Cantwell. My parents were

00:02:55.469 --> 00:02:57.810
missionaries out there. But back then, believe

00:02:57.810 --> 00:03:00.229
it or not, we had no electricity, no running

00:03:00.229 --> 00:03:03.710
water. We lived off -grid before off -grid was

00:03:03.710 --> 00:03:09.409
cool. But once in a while, we had a generator.

00:03:09.610 --> 00:03:11.310
Once in a while, they'd fire that up and they'd

00:03:11.310 --> 00:03:13.750
show a movie. And the town would come to the

00:03:13.750 --> 00:03:16.509
movie because there was no TV. And I remember

00:03:16.509 --> 00:03:20.689
that one night, they had this movie, and I don't

00:03:20.689 --> 00:03:23.849
remember all of the details of the movie, but

00:03:23.849 --> 00:03:27.469
it scared the, I don't know, dangerous saying

00:03:27.469 --> 00:03:29.770
this, but it literally, it's how I referred to

00:03:29.770 --> 00:03:32.289
this movie in my life, is it literally scared

00:03:32.289 --> 00:03:40.650
the hell right out of me as a kid. I saw my spot,

00:03:40.889 --> 00:03:43.729
that if things didn't change, I was going to

00:03:43.729 --> 00:03:48.300
be in hell someday. And for little six -year

00:03:48.300 --> 00:03:51.379
-olds, I knew one thing, that I needed help,

00:03:51.500 --> 00:03:54.300
I needed a Savior, and I needed to look to Jesus.

00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:56.400
That's all I knew, my little fragile mind, but

00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:58.699
I was scared. Like, I don't know if that's the

00:03:58.699 --> 00:04:00.539
best way of going about trying to get somebody

00:04:00.539 --> 00:04:04.939
to meet Jesus, but it's my story. And in that

00:04:04.939 --> 00:04:08.419
bedroom, that night, as I talked to, I remember

00:04:08.419 --> 00:04:10.280
it was my mom or dad, it didn't really matter

00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:13.639
at this point, but I laid in my bed, and I asked

00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:16.569
Jesus to be my Savior. That's six years old.

00:04:19.230 --> 00:04:21.410
So that's the first little moment that I remember.

00:04:21.550 --> 00:04:24.990
But I'll tell you straight up, it was real. It

00:04:24.990 --> 00:04:27.709
was real for me. I didn't understand all the

00:04:27.709 --> 00:04:30.089
details, but there was something that changed

00:04:30.089 --> 00:04:33.829
as a little six -year -old boy. Fast forward

00:04:33.829 --> 00:04:39.709
to I'm 10 years old and my baptism. Now, I remember

00:04:39.709 --> 00:04:42.050
because it was three weeks after. I can't really

00:04:42.050 --> 00:04:44.480
see it. It's kind of old school picture. But

00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:46.339
I was 10 years old, and that was three weeks

00:04:46.339 --> 00:04:48.300
after the ice had gone out on the Yukon River

00:04:48.300 --> 00:04:51.660
in front of Cochrane Hills Bible Camp, which

00:04:51.660 --> 00:04:55.339
we got to spend two months or whatever it was,

00:04:55.339 --> 00:04:59.019
a month and a half every summer. And I knew in

00:04:59.019 --> 00:05:02.699
this, I didn't know a lot, but I knew that being

00:05:02.699 --> 00:05:06.139
obedient in baptism meant that my eyes needed

00:05:06.139 --> 00:05:09.160
to be fixed on Jesus as my Savior and my Lord.

00:05:09.540 --> 00:05:13.699
And it was being obedient to that. At 12 years

00:05:13.699 --> 00:05:19.139
old, in that same bedroom that I had prayed and

00:05:19.139 --> 00:05:23.959
asked Jesus to be my Savior, I can distinctly

00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:35.819
remember talking to Jesus. Still gets me. I felt

00:05:35.819 --> 00:05:41.660
clearly in my heart that God was... Jesus was

00:05:41.660 --> 00:05:45.259
speaking to me. And I can't, I can't, I don't

00:05:45.259 --> 00:05:47.860
remember if it was how it happened or what, but

00:05:47.860 --> 00:05:52.560
I can remember these words. Caleb, I have a plan

00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:59.459
for your life. It's powerful. I have a plan for

00:05:59.459 --> 00:06:03.259
your life. Keep looking to me. In that little

00:06:03.259 --> 00:06:09.379
bedroom. So parents, by the way, God speaks to

00:06:09.379 --> 00:06:13.519
your kids. It's pretty powerful. Didn't me, I

00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.060
vividly remember, I could tell you what, where

00:06:16.060 --> 00:06:17.920
I was standing in the room when that happened.

00:06:19.060 --> 00:06:23.560
At 15, almost 16 years old, I was sitting on

00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:26.319
the bank of, in a boat, on the bank of the Yukon

00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:28.319
River, right at the spot that I was baptized.

00:06:29.300 --> 00:06:31.220
Right there, it's not up there anymore, but in

00:06:31.220 --> 00:06:33.300
that water, I was sitting in the boat, and I

00:06:33.300 --> 00:06:35.199
was having a conversation with God. By the way,

00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:36.839
kids, you can talk to God, do you know that?

00:06:38.490 --> 00:06:41.769
He wants you to talk to him. And so I was talking

00:06:41.769 --> 00:06:43.829
to God, like I was having a conversation. Maybe

00:06:43.829 --> 00:06:47.910
it sounds weird, but I felt like Jesus made it

00:06:47.910 --> 00:06:50.970
very clear to me in that moment that he wanted

00:06:50.970 --> 00:06:56.990
a personal relationship with me. Not just a transactional

00:06:56.990 --> 00:06:59.490
thing that I had done, that yes, God, you're

00:06:59.490 --> 00:07:01.730
way out there, but that he was coming toward

00:07:01.730 --> 00:07:05.050
me and wanted that relation to be personal. And

00:07:05.050 --> 00:07:09.500
so that summer, when I was 15, almost 16, in

00:07:09.500 --> 00:07:15.639
that boat, God broke in to my heart. And I knew

00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:19.220
that he wasn't asking me just to look to him,

00:07:19.259 --> 00:07:24.439
that he was looking at me. Pretty cool. I believe

00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:28.740
our text today is calling us to look to Jesus.

00:07:29.459 --> 00:07:32.180
That's what it's about. It's calling us no matter

00:07:32.180 --> 00:07:34.420
where you're at, no matter what part of life

00:07:34.420 --> 00:07:39.240
you can be six years old, kids, or you could

00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:44.040
be 60 years old. God may be calling you and saying,

00:07:44.139 --> 00:07:47.100
he's telling you today, look to me. Look at me.

00:07:47.860 --> 00:07:50.860
Look to Jesus. So we're going to see in these

00:07:50.860 --> 00:07:52.680
verses, and they're kind of hard verses to unpack,

00:07:52.980 --> 00:07:54.399
but we're going to do our best. But they're going

00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:57.420
to see three things, three chunks in this, three

00:07:57.420 --> 00:08:01.089
things about what what it means to look to Jesus,

00:08:01.149 --> 00:08:04.250
what looking to Jesus tells us. Okay, first one

00:08:04.250 --> 00:08:07.810
is this. We look to Jesus to see the Father.

00:08:08.850 --> 00:08:12.149
We look to Jesus to see the Father. And number

00:08:12.149 --> 00:08:17.930
two is we look to Jesus to find real life. Real

00:08:17.930 --> 00:08:21.589
life. Not this thing we call existence we live

00:08:21.589 --> 00:08:24.790
in right now, but real, purposeful, meaningful

00:08:24.790 --> 00:08:30.149
life. And then the third is we look to Jesus

00:08:30.149 --> 00:08:33.529
to see our future. Probably the one we don't

00:08:33.529 --> 00:08:36.149
talk about a lot that's in this text, though.

00:08:36.269 --> 00:08:40.590
So last week is the first part of chapter 5.

00:08:40.649 --> 00:08:43.269
We saw that Jesus revealed himself. If you remember

00:08:43.269 --> 00:08:47.429
that sermon or that section in the first 18 verses,

00:08:47.509 --> 00:08:50.970
is that Jesus reveals himself. He's in this conversation

00:08:50.970 --> 00:08:54.350
with the religious leaders, and he reveals himself

00:08:54.350 --> 00:09:01.740
as Lord. He gives himself authority. He demonstrates

00:09:01.740 --> 00:09:05.980
his power and authority through healing a lame

00:09:05.980 --> 00:09:08.799
man, but also he says, this is my role. I'm in

00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:13.399
charge. He's making himself, in those verses,

00:09:13.500 --> 00:09:17.580
equal to God. He said, I am God. I'm part of

00:09:17.580 --> 00:09:21.059
the Trinity. I'm part of, but when you look at

00:09:21.059 --> 00:09:22.480
me, this is what you're seeing. Now, that's a

00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:25.779
pretty strong statement. Remember what John,

00:09:25.980 --> 00:09:28.580
the beginning of John chapter, you can flip there

00:09:28.580 --> 00:09:33.279
if you want to. John chapter 1, verses 1 through

00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:35.679
4 says this. In the beginning was the Word. That's

00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:37.740
Jesus, right? That's what he's talking about.

00:09:37.820 --> 00:09:40.580
This is John kind of introducing this book to

00:09:40.580 --> 00:09:43.100
us. And he says, in the beginning was the Word,

00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.460
and the Word was with God. Key word, circle that

00:09:46.460 --> 00:09:49.019
one if you don't have it. With God, and the Word

00:09:49.019 --> 00:09:53.720
was God. He was with God in the beginning, and

00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:57.820
all things were created through him. And apart

00:09:57.820 --> 00:10:01.559
from him, not one thing was created that has

00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:05.080
been created. In him, that's Jesus, was life.

00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:10.500
And that life is the light of man. Okay, those

00:10:10.500 --> 00:10:13.240
are really important words that John wants us

00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:15.840
to see right out of the chute in the Gospel of

00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:18.759
John. And then chapter 5. what we're in right

00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:22.320
now, Jesus is making the same exact claim that

00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:25.000
he did in, that John talks about in chapter 1.

00:10:26.059 --> 00:10:29.580
These are pretty massive claims. C .S. Lewis,

00:10:29.940 --> 00:10:31.720
you probably have heard this, but C .S. Lewis

00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.860
says that these claims, the claims of Jesus,

00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:38.299
what he says about himself, like what he did,

00:10:38.379 --> 00:10:41.000
what he declared about himself, can only mean

00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:44.159
one of three things. Number one is that he's

00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:48.840
a lunatic. These claims are so big and so massive

00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:53.460
that he's, if this is not true, he's a lunatic.

00:10:54.259 --> 00:10:57.139
And the lunatic literally means a mentally ill

00:10:57.139 --> 00:11:03.100
person, an extremely foolish and absurd person.

00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:05.500
That's what it means. So that was number one.

00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.220
Or he's a liar. Probably a little bit of both.

00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:13.399
He's a liar. He's a person who tells lies. That's

00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:16.000
what it means. He's a person who tells lies.

00:11:16.059 --> 00:11:19.899
He's lying about who he is. In this case, he

00:11:19.899 --> 00:11:23.480
says, he's lying to us that he's God because

00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:27.740
he's very clear about it. Like, I'm God. Or,

00:11:27.860 --> 00:11:31.980
he is Lord, number three. And really kind of

00:11:31.980 --> 00:11:35.259
what we face in this is, which one do we believe?

00:11:35.500 --> 00:11:38.940
Because you can't go through life knowing about

00:11:38.940 --> 00:11:42.370
Jesus and not... fall into one of these three

00:11:42.370 --> 00:11:46.870
things. You can act like it, but if you don't

00:11:46.870 --> 00:11:49.509
take number three as he is Lord, that means he

00:11:49.509 --> 00:11:54.429
is master or ruler over all things, having power

00:11:54.429 --> 00:11:56.429
and authority, because that's what he claims

00:11:56.429 --> 00:11:59.110
about himself. You're either then saying, well,

00:11:59.190 --> 00:12:02.870
he's probably a lunatic or a liar, or you just

00:12:02.870 --> 00:12:06.899
act like you don't care. That's what C .S. Lewis

00:12:06.899 --> 00:12:08.460
goes after us. And he says, and I think he's

00:12:08.460 --> 00:12:11.059
right. See, the Jewish religious authorities

00:12:11.059 --> 00:12:14.779
totally got these claims about Jesus. They totally

00:12:14.779 --> 00:12:17.659
understood what he was saying about who he was.

00:12:19.059 --> 00:12:26.679
That he has authority. And that's why they wanted

00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:30.080
to kill him. Because they did not believe he

00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:33.200
was Lord. But these claims are so massive that

00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:35.940
how dare you make those claims that you are a

00:12:35.940 --> 00:12:39.220
heretic. And the only way to deal with that was

00:12:39.220 --> 00:12:42.460
to kill you. That's where they fit. And so you

00:12:42.460 --> 00:12:46.080
can kind of see the tension. So, man, Jesus is

00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.539
all like, you don't think of Jesus as this gentle

00:12:50.539 --> 00:12:54.620
little flowing blonde hair person. This is a

00:12:54.620 --> 00:12:57.039
warrior type because what he does here is he

00:12:57.039 --> 00:12:59.559
made these claims like he's. He's drawn a line

00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:01.460
in the sand with these religious leaders, knowing

00:13:01.460 --> 00:13:02.759
full well that these are the ones that are going

00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:04.980
to kill him. And he just kind of lays it out

00:13:04.980 --> 00:13:07.940
there. So look at verse 19. Jesus is about to

00:13:07.940 --> 00:13:10.740
take it, that first claim we saw in verses, in

00:13:10.740 --> 00:13:14.120
the first chunk of 18 verses, and now he's going

00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:16.340
to take it to a whole other level. And the claim

00:13:16.340 --> 00:13:19.720
Jesus is going to make about himself is that

00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:23.179
he's going to claim that he and the Father are

00:13:23.179 --> 00:13:25.620
going the same direction. Okay, so look what

00:13:25.620 --> 00:13:29.850
he says. Look at verse 19. Jesus replied, truly

00:13:29.850 --> 00:13:33.450
I tell you. Now I don't know, some of these,

00:13:33.590 --> 00:13:37.350
we may have a slight version, variation, but

00:13:37.350 --> 00:13:40.629
look at your Bibles. Truly I tell you. Truly,

00:13:40.649 --> 00:13:43.169
truly, that means like, get it, big explanation

00:13:43.169 --> 00:13:46.350
point. He's like yelling at them, is kind of

00:13:46.350 --> 00:13:49.549
that approach. Truly I tell you, the son is not

00:13:49.549 --> 00:13:53.110
able to do anything on his own, but only what

00:13:53.110 --> 00:13:56.740
he sees the father doing. For whatever the father

00:13:56.740 --> 00:14:00.620
does, the son does likewise, does these things,

00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:03.159
likewise does these things. For the father loves

00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:05.799
the son and shows him everything he is doing

00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:09.080
and he will show him greater works than those

00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:13.059
so that you will be amazed. Okay, what's he saying?

00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:19.120
Jesus in these verses claims total equality with

00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:24.039
God by claiming total dependence on God. The

00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:28.700
claim is that we see two hearts beating as one,

00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:32.299
God the Father and God the Son beating as one.

00:14:32.340 --> 00:14:34.620
They don't do anything in opposition. That's

00:14:34.620 --> 00:14:38.600
what he's saying. Verse 20, that's what we see

00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:40.820
in the first part, but in verse 20, we see the

00:14:40.820 --> 00:14:43.440
motivation of those two hearts that are beating

00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:47.659
together. And that is, for the Father loves the

00:14:47.659 --> 00:14:52.700
Son and shows him everything he is doing. The

00:14:52.700 --> 00:14:55.220
father loves the son and shows him everything

00:14:55.220 --> 00:14:57.600
he's doing. There's a relationship between God

00:14:57.600 --> 00:14:59.899
the father and God the son. And this is, the

00:14:59.899 --> 00:15:02.059
more you understand about who God is and what

00:15:02.059 --> 00:15:04.799
he's done, the more you understand how big Jesus

00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:07.519
is, it changes every aspect of your life. And

00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:11.019
so one of the commentators says this, preaching

00:15:11.019 --> 00:15:13.460
the word commentator says this, the word translated

00:15:13.460 --> 00:15:17.450
love in there, the father loves the son. The

00:15:17.450 --> 00:15:21.549
word translated love here is not the expected

00:15:21.549 --> 00:15:25.250
word agape, which is normally used to describe

00:15:25.250 --> 00:15:28.750
the love of the Godhead. Rather, it is the term

00:15:28.750 --> 00:15:35.710
for friendship love. Phileo. For our human level,

00:15:35.809 --> 00:15:39.330
we understand this is a personal love between

00:15:39.330 --> 00:15:43.529
friends who delight in sharing everything. Jesus

00:15:43.529 --> 00:15:47.980
is a... separate person and he has has power

00:15:47.980 --> 00:15:53.120
to act on his own but by true by by virtue of

00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:56.639
the love and identity within the godhead he does

00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:59.460
not does no action that the father does not also

00:15:59.460 --> 00:16:03.299
do okay what do i mean by that two hearts beating

00:16:03.299 --> 00:16:07.700
is one so what jesus is doing is what the father

00:16:07.700 --> 00:16:14.320
is all about so what does this mean for us That's

00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:18.059
kind of a heady theological thing going on there.

00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:21.460
What does it mean to us? It means we look to

00:16:21.460 --> 00:16:26.279
Jesus to see the Father. We look to Jesus to

00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:32.960
understand who the God is. Jesus is the visible

00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:38.360
image of the invisible God. That's why he came,

00:16:38.460 --> 00:16:40.960
verses 1 and chapter 1, in the beginning was

00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:42.340
the Word, and the Word was with God, and the

00:16:42.340 --> 00:16:45.279
Word was God. And then it goes on to say he came

00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:48.159
and set up his tenth among us. God of the universe

00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:51.480
came to you. And as you look to Jesus, you see

00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:53.240
the motivation of the Father. You see what's

00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:55.919
going on. He's a visible image of the invisible

00:16:55.919 --> 00:17:01.179
God. He's a perfect window into God's heart.

00:17:01.700 --> 00:17:06.200
You want to know how God's heart beats? You look

00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:10.299
at Jesus. Now, let's look at the second point.

00:17:10.660 --> 00:17:15.839
We look. to Jesus to find real life. Look at

00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:19.579
verse 21. And just as the father raised the dead

00:17:19.579 --> 00:17:24.259
and gave them life, so the son also gives life

00:17:24.259 --> 00:17:27.980
to whom he wants. The father, in fact, judges

00:17:27.980 --> 00:17:31.859
no one but has given all judgment to the son

00:17:31.859 --> 00:17:37.910
so that all people may honor the son. just as

00:17:37.910 --> 00:17:41.029
they honor the father anyone who does not honor

00:17:41.029 --> 00:17:44.089
the son does not honor the father who sent him

00:17:44.089 --> 00:17:49.309
truly i tell you anyone who hears my words and

00:17:49.309 --> 00:17:53.849
believes him who sent me has eternal life and

00:17:53.849 --> 00:17:57.369
will not come under judgment but will pass from

00:17:57.369 --> 00:18:00.650
death to life truly i tell you an hour is coming

00:18:00.650 --> 00:18:05.130
and and now is now here when the dead will hear

00:18:05.130 --> 00:18:08.839
the voice of the Son of God and those who hear

00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:14.380
will live. Jesus moves from his relationship

00:18:14.380 --> 00:18:16.859
with the Father to his responsibility. Why is

00:18:16.859 --> 00:18:20.279
he here? What's he doing? He explains it in two

00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:24.920
parts. One is this. He gives life. That's the

00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:27.480
first thing he tackles. He gives life in this,

00:18:27.579 --> 00:18:30.480
and then he executes judgment. Stop pinching

00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:35.900
the baby, by the way. It's important to understand

00:18:35.900 --> 00:18:40.390
that In Jewish theology, both of these belong

00:18:40.390 --> 00:18:43.670
exclusively to God. So to make the claim that

00:18:43.670 --> 00:18:46.470
you give life and you bring judgment, that means

00:18:46.470 --> 00:18:49.529
you're saying, I truly am God. The only person

00:18:49.529 --> 00:18:55.230
who would do that has to be God. So Jesus right

00:18:55.230 --> 00:18:59.130
there says, look at me. Look at me, radiant,

00:18:59.410 --> 00:19:03.809
because I'm the one who gives life, and I'm the

00:19:03.809 --> 00:19:09.180
one who brings judgment. Look at this first one.

00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:12.779
He gives life. Look at verse 21. Just open your

00:19:12.779 --> 00:19:14.200
Bible. I don't know if they're up on the screen,

00:19:14.299 --> 00:19:17.259
but look at verse 21. It says, and just as the

00:19:17.259 --> 00:19:21.339
father raises the dead and gives them life, so

00:19:21.339 --> 00:19:24.599
the son also gives life to whom he wants. And

00:19:24.599 --> 00:19:27.400
then verse 25, he says this, truly I tell you,

00:19:27.500 --> 00:19:32.359
an hour is coming and is now here. When the dead

00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:35.660
will hear the voice of the son of God and those

00:19:35.660 --> 00:19:38.539
who hear will live. When Jesus is talking about

00:19:38.539 --> 00:19:41.259
the dead in these verses, because he's going

00:19:41.259 --> 00:19:43.460
to do it different in a couple more verses. But

00:19:43.460 --> 00:19:45.380
in these verses, he's talking about those who

00:19:45.380 --> 00:19:50.220
are spiritually dead. The spiritual dead are

00:19:50.220 --> 00:19:53.660
those who walk through life and they are numb

00:19:53.660 --> 00:19:58.359
to Jesus. Numb to Jesus. They don't care. Broken

00:19:58.359 --> 00:20:01.480
and separated from God and really don't want

00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:05.529
nothing to do with God. They are living for themselves

00:20:05.529 --> 00:20:09.309
and that's all that really matters. That's what

00:20:09.309 --> 00:20:11.369
he's talking about. Those are spiritually dead

00:20:11.369 --> 00:20:15.750
people in this. That's the term. You and I may

00:20:15.750 --> 00:20:18.089
have been there before. Maybe you're there right

00:20:18.089 --> 00:20:19.549
now and you're like, I don't know why I'm here.

00:20:19.650 --> 00:20:26.369
But at some point, life had to come to you. Belief

00:20:26.369 --> 00:20:28.750
had to step in or you're not yet a follower of

00:20:28.750 --> 00:20:31.589
Jesus. And we live in a world where there are

00:20:31.589 --> 00:20:37.029
lots of spiritually dead people. Ephesians 2

00:20:37.029 --> 00:20:42.130
verse 1 says, you are, and you were dead in your

00:20:42.130 --> 00:20:46.069
trespasses and sin, meaning your sin, where you

00:20:46.069 --> 00:20:50.009
were, had you in a spiritually dead state. To

00:20:50.009 --> 00:20:54.029
be, to the spiritually dead, Jesus says, he is

00:20:54.029 --> 00:20:58.430
the authority to give life. That's what he's

00:20:58.430 --> 00:21:01.230
saying here. He has the authority to give life.

00:21:01.289 --> 00:21:06.730
Verse 25, those who hear will live. This is what

00:21:06.730 --> 00:21:09.089
happened to me at age six in my living room,

00:21:09.130 --> 00:21:16.349
my bedroom. I didn't understand much, but I knew

00:21:16.349 --> 00:21:20.450
Jesus was calling me to himself. And in that

00:21:20.450 --> 00:21:27.910
moment, God broke in and life happened. This

00:21:27.910 --> 00:21:31.339
is... We're going to look at verse 24, and this

00:21:31.339 --> 00:21:35.180
is really key. Look at verse 24 with me. Truly

00:21:35.180 --> 00:21:38.140
I tell you, anyone who hears my words and believes

00:21:38.140 --> 00:21:43.460
him who sent me has eternal life and will not

00:21:43.460 --> 00:21:47.940
come under judgment but pass from death to life.

00:21:50.400 --> 00:21:53.700
I didn't have the answers when I was six. I didn't

00:21:53.700 --> 00:21:58.200
understand hardly anything, but I believed. A

00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:03.000
new birth in Jesus happened. My question this

00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:05.039
morning, I don't care how old you are. I don't

00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:06.440
care if you've been to church your whole life

00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:09.920
or come and go every so often. Have you, but

00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:15.259
has this happened for you? Has Jesus broke in?

00:22:17.220 --> 00:22:20.579
Romans 10, 9 and 10 says this. If you confess

00:22:20.579 --> 00:22:25.180
with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and you believe

00:22:25.180 --> 00:22:27.960
in your heart, that God raised him from the dead,

00:22:28.119 --> 00:22:32.380
you will be saved. One believes with his heart,

00:22:32.460 --> 00:22:35.039
resulting in righteousness, and one confesses

00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:37.720
with his mouth, resulting in salvation. Guys,

00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:42.460
it's simple. It's hard. But what we're confessing

00:22:42.460 --> 00:22:45.079
with our mouth, that what Jesus did on the cross,

00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:49.599
was for me. He hung there on the cross, took

00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:53.559
all of your sin, all of my sin, own it. My sin

00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:56.160
upon himself, that... little black -hearted,

00:22:56.220 --> 00:22:58.440
dark -hearted sinner that I am. He said, Caleb,

00:22:58.519 --> 00:23:01.619
I got all of that. And I'm paying the penalty

00:23:01.619 --> 00:23:04.920
for that. And I'm dying in the place. And then

00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:12.019
he died. And he conquered Satan and sin. And

00:23:12.019 --> 00:23:14.799
he went into the grave. But he didn't stay there.

00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:17.660
He resurrected. That's why in baptism we have

00:23:17.660 --> 00:23:20.940
a show going into the water, identifying in the

00:23:20.940 --> 00:23:25.519
death. That Jesus died, that he took my sin.

00:23:26.859 --> 00:23:28.900
And when we come up out of that water, it's a

00:23:28.900 --> 00:23:32.559
picture of the resurrection of Christ. Because

00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:35.240
of the resurrection, I have life in Christ. If

00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:39.759
I say, Jesus, I want you. Jesus, I want that.

00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:43.200
And so confessing with your mouth is literally

00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:46.539
saying, Jesus, I want you to be Lord of my life.

00:23:46.680 --> 00:23:50.740
I know that you're my savior. And now I know

00:23:50.740 --> 00:23:52.140
that you're my Lord. I don't even have to have

00:23:52.140 --> 00:23:54.000
all the theology figured out. I have to have

00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:57.819
all the answers. So Jesus says he is the source

00:23:57.819 --> 00:24:01.720
of eternal life, but he's also the one who will

00:24:01.720 --> 00:24:03.980
execute judgment. We don't like to talk about

00:24:03.980 --> 00:24:09.279
this side. He's the one who's going to say, bring

00:24:09.279 --> 00:24:14.200
judgment on those who do not believe. The third

00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:19.430
point in this. Three parts of these verses is

00:24:19.430 --> 00:24:21.849
this, that we look to Jesus to see our future.

00:24:22.410 --> 00:24:26.490
We look to Jesus to see our future. Jesus is

00:24:26.490 --> 00:24:31.410
claiming authority over what is to come. That's

00:24:31.410 --> 00:24:35.210
what's going on here. Look at verse 26. For just

00:24:35.210 --> 00:24:39.349
as the Father has life in himself, so also he

00:24:39.349 --> 00:24:42.430
has granted to the Son to have life in himself.

00:24:43.630 --> 00:24:47.470
And he has granted him the right to pass judgment

00:24:47.470 --> 00:24:51.369
because he is the son of man, meaning he's God.

00:24:53.170 --> 00:24:56.890
Do not be amazed at this because the time is

00:24:56.890 --> 00:25:01.309
coming when all who are in the graves will hear

00:25:01.309 --> 00:25:05.150
his voice and come out. So now, before we go

00:25:05.150 --> 00:25:08.569
any farther, this is a shift in debt. Now he's

00:25:08.569 --> 00:25:11.269
talking about those who are passed on, who are

00:25:11.269 --> 00:25:17.680
physically dead. Do not be amazed at this because

00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:21.339
at a time is coming when all who are in the graves

00:25:21.339 --> 00:25:25.420
will hear his voice and come out. Those who have

00:25:25.420 --> 00:25:27.539
done good things to the resurrection of life

00:25:27.539 --> 00:25:29.900
and those who have done wicked things to the

00:25:29.900 --> 00:25:32.859
resurrection of condemnation. Okay. What Jesus

00:25:32.859 --> 00:25:36.960
is saying is there will come a day. where he

00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:38.759
will make all things right again. He's going

00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:41.619
to fix it. We know this is how the creation,

00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:45.140
we have fall, brokenness, redemption. Jesus says,

00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:47.900
come. He says, I am life. You look to me. And

00:25:47.900 --> 00:25:50.339
then there's a day of restoration. And he's pointing

00:25:50.339 --> 00:25:52.859
forward to that. There's going to come a day,

00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:55.119
and he's going to make everything right. And

00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:59.039
this broken, jacked -up world will be done. Your

00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:03.819
struggles will be over. Your addictions will

00:26:03.819 --> 00:26:09.650
be done. The stuff going on swirling around your

00:26:09.650 --> 00:26:13.250
head, cleaned up. You will be made new. Your

00:26:13.250 --> 00:26:17.509
broken body will be restored. He's making all

00:26:17.509 --> 00:26:20.349
things new. He's talking about the future where

00:26:20.349 --> 00:26:23.289
those who are in Christ, those who have put their

00:26:23.289 --> 00:26:28.029
faith in Jesus, will be made new. Verses 28 and

00:26:28.029 --> 00:26:30.869
29 focuses on the future day when Jesus returns

00:26:30.869 --> 00:26:36.640
to take believers into heaven and to cast unbelievers

00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:41.819
into hell. Straight up. Jesus will be the judge

00:26:41.819 --> 00:26:47.180
on judgment day. It's so crazy. Jesus is our

00:26:47.180 --> 00:26:49.720
Savior, but he's also the one that says, look,

00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:54.039
I've offered myself fully to you. I've done everything

00:26:54.039 --> 00:26:58.359
for you, but you're rebelling. And so there's

00:26:58.359 --> 00:27:00.900
going to come a day where the Savior becomes

00:27:00.900 --> 00:27:08.680
the judge. Boom. And it's over. For those who

00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:11.299
are in Christ, that means those who've received

00:27:11.299 --> 00:27:18.759
Christ will be resurrected to new life. Eternal

00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:23.299
life with Him. What we're doing right now is

00:27:23.299 --> 00:27:28.339
just a short blimp on the screen of eternity.

00:27:29.259 --> 00:27:34.099
It's short. But those who reject Christ, eternal

00:27:34.099 --> 00:27:37.869
condemnation, hell. In eternal separation. And

00:27:37.869 --> 00:27:39.990
Jesus just says this. He says I claim the authority.

00:27:40.109 --> 00:27:43.049
And that's who I am. I'm going to be your savior.

00:27:43.430 --> 00:27:46.390
I am your lord. And I'm going to demonstrate.

00:27:46.750 --> 00:27:50.809
How much authority and lord I am. Whether you

00:27:50.809 --> 00:27:55.250
receive me. Or you reject me. Both are true.

00:27:56.130 --> 00:28:00.450
He claims. To have perfect alignment with the

00:28:00.450 --> 00:28:03.809
father. Two hearts beating as one. He claims.

00:28:06.599 --> 00:28:11.359
That he has the power to give life. And he has

00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:14.920
the authority to judge. And he claims. These

00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:17.880
claims are massive. And verse 23. Look at this.

00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:21.839
Verse 23 tells us. Helps us understand our response

00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:24.559
to those three claims. Look what he says. Verse

00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:28.859
23. So to all people. So that all people may

00:28:28.859 --> 00:28:33.619
honor the son. Just as they honor the father.

00:28:34.730 --> 00:28:36.430
So you've got to stop. Before we go any farther,

00:28:36.529 --> 00:28:39.490
you think about this verse. He's talking to religious

00:28:39.490 --> 00:28:43.789
leaders. He's like, and they honored the Father.

00:28:44.589 --> 00:28:48.630
Everything was in claims to that, right? And

00:28:48.630 --> 00:28:52.950
Jesus comes and says, so that all people may

00:28:52.950 --> 00:28:56.890
honor the Son just as they honor the Father.

00:28:56.970 --> 00:29:00.809
Like, you've got to bring Jesus up in your level

00:29:00.809 --> 00:29:08.009
of understanding. What he did? is full of all

00:29:08.009 --> 00:29:11.630
of God's authority rests on Jesus in this situation.

00:29:13.049 --> 00:29:17.650
Anyone who does not honor the Son does not honor

00:29:17.650 --> 00:29:23.269
the Father who sent him. Our focus needs to be

00:29:23.269 --> 00:29:29.269
on Jesus. The one who expresses the action of

00:29:29.269 --> 00:29:31.730
the Father. The one who gives us life. And the

00:29:31.730 --> 00:29:35.109
one who is our judge. I don't, you know, like,

00:29:35.230 --> 00:29:39.829
we need Jesus. We need to look to Jesus with

00:29:39.829 --> 00:29:42.250
all of our life, and that's what it means to

00:29:42.250 --> 00:29:44.950
honor him. It means to get your eyes off of yourself

00:29:44.950 --> 00:29:48.349
every day to go, God, I need you, Jesus. I look

00:29:48.349 --> 00:29:56.089
to you. I just, don't be apathetic with Jesus.

00:29:58.490 --> 00:30:02.329
Don't be apathetic with Jesus. Don't be lazy.

00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:11.660
With your faith. Do you know him? Give him all

00:30:11.660 --> 00:30:15.759
of you. That's honor. And those who honor him,

00:30:16.200 --> 00:30:23.880
God says, it's different. Psalm 34, verse 5,

00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:27.900
our verse. Those who look to the Lord are radiant.

00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:29.759
Their faces shall never be ashamed. Where does

00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:35.289
shame come from? Sin. It comes from sin. And

00:30:35.289 --> 00:30:39.150
so our eyes, our gaze is on, is to be on Jesus

00:30:39.150 --> 00:30:43.970
in every nook, corner, aspect of our life. And

00:30:43.970 --> 00:30:46.769
I would say, for me as a six -year -old in that

00:30:46.769 --> 00:30:49.569
bedroom, not even understanding anything that

00:30:49.569 --> 00:30:53.269
went on, hardly, it simply was look to Jesus

00:30:53.269 --> 00:30:56.269
and believe. And for those of you, maybe that's

00:30:56.269 --> 00:30:57.990
where you're at right now. It may not be six.

00:30:58.150 --> 00:31:02.009
Maybe you are six. Look to Jesus. You don't have

00:31:02.009 --> 00:31:05.940
to have all the answers. Believe in Jesus today.

00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:10.119
Confess with your mouth, Lord, I am broken, I

00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:12.920
am a sinner, and I need a Savior, Jesus. Will

00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:17.059
you be my Savior? And will you be my Lord? Will

00:31:17.059 --> 00:31:19.579
you be the one in charge of my life? Jesus, I

00:31:19.579 --> 00:31:24.759
need you today. And all of us, no matter if that's

00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:26.740
you or not, maybe you've already done that, you've

00:31:26.740 --> 00:31:29.220
walked the road, but we got a little apathetic

00:31:29.220 --> 00:31:31.420
with Jesus. Maybe it's time for you just to say,

00:31:31.460 --> 00:31:34.160
I need to look. to Jesus with all of my life.

00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:37.859
I need to be reminded of that every day. And

00:31:37.859 --> 00:31:39.339
that's why we're doing here. That's what we're

00:31:39.339 --> 00:31:44.079
doing here today. As Jared, when I were talking

00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:47.359
about the vision for children's ministry, he

00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:51.759
came up with this idea to take that vision and

00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:54.960
put it out on a little bracelet so that as kids,

00:31:54.960 --> 00:31:56.619
we can look at it. So kids, I want you to look

00:31:56.619 --> 00:31:59.500
at this bracelet. This bracelet right here says,

00:31:59.700 --> 00:32:05.839
right there. It says, look to Jesus. Look to

00:32:05.839 --> 00:32:09.099
Jesus. And as we were, so he ordered a whole

00:32:09.099 --> 00:32:11.259
bunch of these and they, because there's some

00:32:11.259 --> 00:32:15.339
sale going, they sent him like 500 in all different

00:32:15.339 --> 00:32:17.960
sizes. And so as we were going, I was working

00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:19.859
through the sermon today, I was like, this week,

00:32:19.900 --> 00:32:22.519
I was like, man, this is my theme too. This is

00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:25.000
what I need. So why is it just for the kids?

00:32:25.460 --> 00:32:29.000
Now kids, you get one today. On that back table,

00:32:29.140 --> 00:32:30.420
there's going to be a whole bunch of these, and

00:32:30.420 --> 00:32:33.140
you get one and put it on your wrist, and one

00:32:33.140 --> 00:32:35.500
that fits your size. So if you put this one on,

00:32:35.559 --> 00:32:37.660
it's going to fall off, right? It's too big for

00:32:37.660 --> 00:32:39.859
you. There's one that fits you. It's just the

00:32:39.859 --> 00:32:42.660
right size. It's like that big. And it says it.

00:32:44.140 --> 00:32:46.140
But why is it the kids will have all the fun?

00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:50.440
So it's going to be one for you too. And guys,

00:32:50.460 --> 00:32:52.660
this is just a bracelet. All this is is to remind

00:32:52.660 --> 00:32:56.339
you, hey, whatever you're dealing with today,

00:32:57.390 --> 00:32:59.390
Whatever struggle you're walking through, whatever

00:32:59.390 --> 00:33:02.890
joy that you have, whatever challenges in front

00:33:02.890 --> 00:33:04.670
of you, whatever is going on in your life, what

00:33:04.670 --> 00:33:07.390
do you do? You look to Jesus. Get your eyes off

00:33:07.390 --> 00:33:10.829
yourself, and you look to Jesus. So, kids, I

00:33:10.829 --> 00:33:13.029
don't know about you, but I'm going to wear one.

00:33:13.069 --> 00:33:15.130
I hope your parents do. Anybody else that wants

00:33:15.130 --> 00:33:16.910
to wear it? This is not just a kid thing. But

00:33:16.910 --> 00:33:19.130
parents, let me just tell you this. What a great

00:33:19.130 --> 00:33:22.349
way to have conversation with your kids. Wear

00:33:22.349 --> 00:33:25.490
those together. Talk about it together. What's

00:33:25.490 --> 00:33:28.910
it mean today to look to Jesus? Matt, you and

00:33:28.910 --> 00:33:31.549
I, you wear one. We have this conversation. What's

00:33:31.549 --> 00:33:33.289
it look like in your life today to look to Jesus?

00:33:34.990 --> 00:33:39.450
That's what we need. We need to together push

00:33:39.450 --> 00:33:41.369
one another to say, what does it look like to

00:33:41.369 --> 00:33:45.170
look to Jesus? There's a song that as I was working

00:33:45.170 --> 00:33:47.750
through these verses that couldn't stop. We're

00:33:47.750 --> 00:33:49.410
not singing it today, but I do want to read the

00:33:49.410 --> 00:33:53.380
chorus to you. It's an old hymn. And I just was

00:33:53.380 --> 00:33:55.400
constantly running around. Why don't you put

00:33:55.400 --> 00:33:58.839
it up on the screen? You got there? Turn your

00:33:58.839 --> 00:34:02.400
eyes upon Jesus. It says this, turn your eyes

00:34:02.400 --> 00:34:06.160
upon Jesus. Why? Every day. I think it's the

00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:08.420
start of the song should say, every day, turn

00:34:08.420 --> 00:34:12.139
your eyes upon Jesus. Look full into his wonderful

00:34:12.139 --> 00:34:17.440
face. And the things of this earth will grow

00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:20.130
strangely dim. What does that mean, the things

00:34:20.130 --> 00:34:22.210
of this earth? It means all of your challenges,

00:34:22.289 --> 00:34:24.389
all of your struggles, everything you're dealing

00:34:24.389 --> 00:34:31.550
with. You're tired. And so you do things. You

00:34:31.550 --> 00:34:34.130
struggle. You've got a fight going on in your

00:34:34.130 --> 00:34:37.090
marriage. You've got challenges with your children.

00:34:37.530 --> 00:34:40.050
Children, you're struggling with mom and dad.

00:34:40.110 --> 00:34:42.449
You want to do it. There's tension. Our lives

00:34:42.449 --> 00:34:45.590
are full of this. What do we do? We look to Jesus.

00:34:46.960 --> 00:34:49.500
And the things of this earth, as our eyes are

00:34:49.500 --> 00:34:53.400
on him, will grow strangely dim in the light

00:34:53.400 --> 00:34:57.179
of his glory and grace. Let's pray together,

00:34:57.360 --> 00:35:06.059
okay? Lord, I need you so bad to know how to

00:35:06.059 --> 00:35:11.619
navigate this broken world. And I know that I

00:35:11.619 --> 00:35:15.539
don't, in my own humanness, don't have the answers.

00:35:16.269 --> 00:35:19.250
to know how to do it. Some days I feel like I

00:35:19.250 --> 00:35:21.230
got it together. Other days it's just falling

00:35:21.230 --> 00:35:24.309
apart. And so I know that I need you. And so

00:35:24.309 --> 00:35:26.670
will you help us, Lord, as a church, as people,

00:35:26.750 --> 00:35:29.429
to get our eyes off of ourselves and to look

00:35:29.429 --> 00:35:32.190
at our Savior, to look at the one who has full

00:35:32.190 --> 00:35:36.349
authority and knows the future, who loves us

00:35:36.349 --> 00:35:41.690
deeply. Help us to set our gaze there. Help us

00:35:41.690 --> 00:35:44.599
to... pursue you like through reading your word

00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:46.760
and to having a conversation like i had in that

00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:50.800

00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:56.679
with you and you met me there lord help us to

00:35:56.679 --> 00:36:01.539
be people who look to you in all things in your

00:36:01.539 --> 00:36:02.619
