[2813.56 --> 2814.34] where we live [2814.34 --> 2814.98] how we live [2814.98 --> 2815.90] most of us [2815.90 --> 2817.92] we pray will you [2817.92 --> 2818.96] convict us [2818.96 --> 2821.58] give us a good day [2821.58 --> 2822.76] be with Pastor Bill [2822.76 --> 2823.24] this morning [2823.24 --> 2824.22] as he brings your word [2824.22 --> 2825.90] thank you in Jesus name [2825.90 --> 2826.32] Amen [2826.32 --> 2840.78] thank you [2840.78 --> 2850.36] I think I'd rather be down here [2850.36 --> 2851.14] if you don't mind [2851.14 --> 2855.84] hopefully you can all see me [2855.84 --> 2858.14] I feel like I'm a little bit more [2858.14 --> 2858.92] a part of you [2858.92 --> 2863.38] something that [2863.38 --> 2866.72] you might take for granted [2866.72 --> 2868.62] coming here every week [2868.62 --> 2869.74] but [2869.74 --> 2871.12] tradition [2871.12 --> 2872.10] or [2872.10 --> 2873.92] habit [2873.92 --> 2875.02] that you [2875.02 --> 2876.40] several of them [2876.40 --> 2877.46] that you have here [2877.46 --> 2877.98] that [2877.98 --> 2878.96] we [2878.96 --> 2879.90] appreciate [2879.90 --> 2880.50] is [2880.50 --> 2882.46] deacons [2882.46 --> 2884.20] making the announcement [2884.20 --> 2885.32] about the offering [2885.32 --> 2886.92] elders [2886.92 --> 2888.34] praying [2888.34 --> 2889.60] and [2889.60 --> 2890.10] this [2890.10 --> 2891.24] little habit [2891.24 --> 2892.18] of blessing [2892.18 --> 2893.06] you know [2893.06 --> 2893.68] the kids [2893.68 --> 2894.96] these are [2894.96 --> 2897.50] wonderful things [2897.50 --> 2898.50] that maybe you take [2898.50 --> 2899.16] for granted [2899.16 --> 2900.04] but they're [2900.04 --> 2901.32] I think they're very [2901.32 --> 2903.92] they're rich traditions [2903.92 --> 2904.66] they're healthy [2904.66 --> 2904.90] traditions [2904.90 --> 2905.60] traditions [2905.60 --> 2910.50] some time ago [2910.50 --> 2911.80] Pastor Chris [2911.80 --> 2913.12] I think back in June [2913.12 --> 2914.10] said we're going to do [2914.10 --> 2915.38] parables for the summer [2915.38 --> 2917.32] go ahead and pick one [2917.32 --> 2919.18] so I did [2919.18 --> 2920.28] and so we're [2920.28 --> 2921.76] looking at another [2921.76 --> 2922.46] parable [2922.46 --> 2922.84] the [2922.84 --> 2924.24] parable of the [2924.24 --> 2925.04] rich man [2925.04 --> 2925.66] and [2925.66 --> 2927.04] Lazarus [2927.04 --> 2928.22] and [2928.22 --> 2931.02] the prayer [2931.02 --> 2932.06] this morning [2932.06 --> 2932.84] made me [2932.84 --> 2934.48] it was in that way [2934.48 --> 2935.36] appropriate too [2935.36 --> 2936.36] how do you think about [2936.36 --> 2937.28] street people [2937.28 --> 2938.04] and [2938.04 --> 2939.20] these are some [2939.20 --> 2940.18] of the poor [2940.18 --> 2941.30] that are [2941.30 --> 2942.32] among us [2942.32 --> 2946.86] Luke 16 [2946.86 --> 2947.86] actually has two [2947.86 --> 2948.78] parables in it [2948.78 --> 2953.90] I've preached the other [2953.90 --> 2954.54] one here [2954.54 --> 2955.96] I'm sure you all [2955.96 --> 2956.82] remember it [2956.82 --> 2958.20] it's about [2958.20 --> 2958.78] I don't know [2958.78 --> 2959.82] a couple years ago [2959.82 --> 2961.22] both these parables [2961.22 --> 2962.22] are about money [2962.22 --> 2964.20] and riches [2964.20 --> 2967.46] the first parable [2967.46 --> 2969.62] in Luke 16 [2969.62 --> 2971.80] is about [2971.80 --> 2973.02] the shrewd [2973.02 --> 2973.76] manager [2973.76 --> 2974.42] where [2974.42 --> 2977.04] Jesus makes this [2977.04 --> 2978.60] it seems like [2978.60 --> 2979.66] a strange [2979.66 --> 2980.38] statement [2980.38 --> 2982.18] to use [2982.18 --> 2983.46] worldly [2983.46 --> 2984.46] wealth [2984.46 --> 2986.28] Luke 16 [2986.28 --> 2987.00] 9 [2987.00 --> 2988.40] use [2988.40 --> 2989.20] worldly [2989.20 --> 2989.94] wealth [2989.94 --> 2991.02] to gain [2991.02 --> 2992.08] friends [2992.08 --> 2993.46] for yourself [2993.46 --> 2995.60] that's like [2995.60 --> 2996.70] use [2996.70 --> 2997.18] your [2997.18 --> 2998.02] cash [2998.02 --> 2999.18] to build [2999.18 --> 2999.88] good [2999.88 --> 3000.62] connections [3000.62 --> 3002.10] one of the [3002.10 --> 3002.80] best things [3002.80 --> 3003.20] you can do [3003.20 --> 3003.72] with money [3003.72 --> 3007.10] money [3007.10 --> 3007.46] is [3007.46 --> 3008.26] a huge [3008.26 --> 3008.54] thing [3008.54 --> 3009.30] and as I say [3009.30 --> 3009.70] both [3009.70 --> 3010.52] that parable [3010.52 --> 3010.94] and the one [3010.94 --> 3011.52] we're looking at [3011.52 --> 3011.92] have to do [3011.92 --> 3012.40] with money [3012.40 --> 3013.14] because at the [3013.14 --> 3013.44] end of that [3013.44 --> 3013.70] parable [3013.70 --> 3013.98] he says [3013.98 --> 3014.48] you can't [3014.48 --> 3014.96] serve two [3014.96 --> 3015.48] masters [3015.48 --> 3017.78] you can't [3017.78 --> 3018.48] serve both [3018.48 --> 3019.16] God [3019.16 --> 3021.22] and money [3021.22 --> 3022.74] and then [3022.74 --> 3023.86] in verse 14 [3023.86 --> 3026.20] Luke notes [3026.20 --> 3028.10] the Pharisees [3028.10 --> 3030.50] who loved [3030.50 --> 3031.60] money [3031.60 --> 3034.90] heard all [3034.90 --> 3035.34] this [3035.34 --> 3037.22] and were [3037.22 --> 3038.30] sneering [3038.30 --> 3039.46] at Jesus [3039.46 --> 3040.92] mockers [3040.92 --> 3041.30] in the [3041.30 --> 3041.62] pew [3041.62 --> 3044.30] I think [3044.30 --> 3044.96] the next [3044.96 --> 3045.62] parable [3045.62 --> 3046.74] the rich [3046.74 --> 3047.14] man [3047.14 --> 3048.16] and [3048.16 --> 3049.54] Lazarus [3049.54 --> 3054.10] is [3054.10 --> 3055.24] directed [3055.24 --> 3055.76] for [3055.76 --> 3057.34] the Pharisee [3057.34 --> 3058.36] in all [3058.36 --> 3059.02] of us [3059.02 --> 3060.06] who love [3060.06 --> 3060.46] money [3060.46 --> 3065.98] and [3065.98 --> 3066.36] in this [3066.36 --> 3066.86] parable [3066.86 --> 3068.14] Jesus [3068.14 --> 3068.82] is also [3068.82 --> 3069.34] saying [3069.34 --> 3069.76] as he [3069.76 --> 3070.08] talks [3070.08 --> 3070.32] about [3070.32 --> 3070.70] money [3070.70 --> 3071.04] that [3071.04 --> 3071.26] it [3071.26 --> 3072.64] can't [3072.64 --> 3073.00] buy [3073.00 --> 3073.54] you [3073.54 --> 3074.48] or [3074.48 --> 3074.92] your [3074.92 --> 3076.02] friends [3076.02 --> 3077.70] eternal [3077.70 --> 3078.24] life [3078.24 --> 3079.40] you can [3079.40 --> 3080.04] use money [3080.04 --> 3080.46] to build [3080.46 --> 3081.04] connections [3081.04 --> 3081.50] but [3081.50 --> 3082.56] you [3082.56 --> 3083.56] can't [3083.56 --> 3083.78] buy [3083.78 --> 3084.22] your way [3084.22 --> 3084.48] into [3084.48 --> 3084.88] heaven [3084.88 --> 3086.44] here's [3086.44 --> 3086.60] the [3086.60 --> 3087.04] parable [3087.04 --> 3090.46] there [3090.46 --> 3090.80] was a [3090.80 --> 3091.00] rich [3091.00 --> 3091.38] man [3091.38 --> 3093.52] who [3093.52 --> 3093.74] was [3093.74 --> 3094.08] dressed [3094.08 --> 3094.34] in [3094.34 --> 3094.70] purple [3094.70 --> 3094.96]

--> 3182.02] there [3182.02 --> 3182.64] to [3182.64 --> 3183.28] us [3183.28 --> 3186.14] he [3186.14 --> 3186.52] answered [3186.52 --> 3186.70] then [3186.70 --> 3186.84] I [3186.84 --> 3187.28] beg [3187.28 --> 3187.48] you [3187.48 --> 3187.92] father [3187.92 --> 3188.40] send [3188.40 --> 3189.06] Lazarus [3189.06 --> 3189.24] to [3189.24 --> 3189.46] my [3189.46 --> 3190.04] family [3190.04 --> 3190.34] for [3190.34 --> 3190.54] I [3190.54 --> 3190.74] have [3190.74 --> 3191.16] five [3191.16 --> 3191.74] brothers [3191.74 --> 3193.86] let him [3193.86 --> 3194.24] warn [3194.24 --> 3194.54] them [3194.54 --> 3194.90] so that [3194.90 --> 3195.04] they [3195.04 --> 3195.22] will [3195.22 --> 3195.44] not [3195.44 --> 3195.78] also [3195.78 --> 3196.08] come [3196.08 --> 3196.24] to [3196.24 --> 3196.46] this [3196.46 --> 3196.80] place [3196.80 --> 3196.98] of [3196.98 --> 3197.46] torment [3197.46 --> 3199.08] Abraham [3199.08 --> 3199.64] replied [3199.64 --> 3200.54] they [3200.54 --> 3200.88] have [3200.88 --> 3201.38] Moses [3201.38 --> 3201.70] and [3201.70 --> 3201.84] the [3201.84 --> 3202.36] prophets [3202.36 --> 3202.72] let [3202.72 --> 3202.90] them [3202.90 --> 3203.22] listen [3203.22 --> 3203.44] to [3203.44 --> 3203.80] them [3203.80 --> 3205.62] no [3205.62 --> 3206.14] father [3206.14 --> 3206.66] Abraham [3206.66 --> 3207.06] but if [3207.06 --> 3207.36] someone [3207.36 --> 3207.84] from the [3207.84 --> 3208.16] dead [3208.16 --> 3208.50] goes [3208.50 --> 3208.68] to [3208.68 --> 3208.92] them [3208.92 --> 3209.72] they [3209.72 --> 3210.12] will [3210.12 --> 3210.84] repent [3210.84 --> 3213.64] and [3213.64 --> 3214.08] Abraham [3214.08 --> 3214.54] said [3214.54 --> 3214.72] to [3214.72 --> 3214.98] them [3214.98 --> 3215.64] if [3215.64 --> 3215.86] they [3215.86 --> 3216.12] do [3216.12 --> 3216.42] not [3216.42 --> 3216.94] listen [3216.94 --> 3217.72] to [3217.72 --> 3218.28] Moses [3218.28 --> 3219.08] and [3219.08 --> 3219.32] the [3219.32 --> 3219.88] prophets [3219.88 --> 3221.30] they [3221.30 --> 3221.54] will [3221.54 --> 3222.06] not [3222.06 --> 3222.56] be [3222.56 --> 3223.20] convinced [3223.20 --> 3224.02] even [3224.02 --> 3224.72] if [3224.72 --> 3225.26] someone [3225.26 --> 3226.00] rises [3226.00 --> 3227.20] from [3227.20 --> 3227.38] the [3227.38 --> 3227.68] dead [3227.68 --> 3228.94] the [3228.94 --> 3229.22] word [3229.22 --> 3229.38] of [3229.38 --> 3229.50] the [3229.50 --> 3229.90] Lord [3229.90 --> 3231.26] thanks [3231.26 --> 3231.50] be [3231.50 --> 3231.70] to [3231.70 --> 3232.10] God [3232.10 --> 3234.44] well [3234.44 --> 3234.58] if [3234.58 --> 3234.72] you [3234.72 --> 3235.08] want [3235.08 --> 3235.32] to [3235.32 --> 3236.08] seriously [3236.08 --> 3236.48] get [3236.48 --> 3237.04] into [3237.04 --> 3237.76] a [3237.76 --> 3238.40] spiritual [3238.40 --> 3239.70] discussion [3239.70 --> 3240.50] with [3240.50 --> 3241.04] someone [3241.04 --> 3242.28] brothers [3242.28 --> 3242.62] and [3242.62 --> 3243.02] sisters [3243.02 --> 3244.26] it's [3244.26 --> 3244.68] good [3244.68 --> 3244.94] to [3244.94 --> 3245.42] ask [3245.42 --> 3245.70] them [3245.70 --> 3246.00] what [3246.00 --> 3246.92] do [3246.92 --> 3247.14] you [3247.14 --> 3247.54] think [3247.54 --> 3248.22] happens [3248.22 --> 3248.78] when [3248.78 --> 3248.94] you [3248.94 --> 3249.24] die [3249.24 --> 3254.14] do [3254.14 --> 3254.30] you [3254.30 --> 3254.60] believe [3254.60 --> 3254.78] in [3254.78 --> 3255.14] life [3255.14 --> 3255.48] after [3255.48 --> 3255.88] death [3255.88 --> 3258.44] an [3258.44 --> 3259.54] unchurched [3259.54 --> 3259.96] person [3259.96 --> 3260.64] told me [3260.64 --> 3260.88] this [3260.88 --> 3261.08] one [3261.08 --> 3261.24] time [3261.24 --> 3261.38] these [3261.38 --> 3261.46] are [3261.46 --> 3261.64] good [3261.64 --> 3262.16] questions [3262.16 --> 3262.38] do [3262.38 --> 3264.24] you [3264.24 --> 3264.60] think [3264.60 --> 3264.88] there's [3264.88 --> 3265.04] a [3265.04 --> 3265.32] heaven [3265.32 --> 3265.66] and [3265.66 --> 3266.74] well [3266.74 --> 3267.10] most [3267.10 --> 3267.28] do [3267.28 --> 3267.44] that [3267.44 --> 3267.74] but [3267.74 --> 3267.94] a [3267.94 --> 3268.32] hell [3268.32 --> 3271.52] and [3271.52 --> 3271.74] do [3271.74 --> 3271.92] you [3271.92 --> 3272.46] actually [3272.46 --> 3273.18] think [3273.18 --> 3273.62] that [3273.62 --> 3273.98] how [3273.98 --> 3274.28] we [3274.28 --> 3274.64] live [3274.64 --> 3274.84] in [3274.84 --> 3275.10] this [3275.10 --> 3275.68] life [3275.68 --> 3278.00] makes [3278.00 --> 3278.22] a [3278.22 --> 3278.76] difference [3278.76 --> 3279.16] for [3279.16 --> 3279.32] the [3279.32 --> 3279.56] next [3279.56 --> 3279.86] one [3279.86 --> 3282.36] this [3282.36 --> 3282.76] parable [3282.76 --> 3283.50] speaks [3283.50 --> 3284.32] to [3284.32 --> 3284.58] those [3284.58 --> 3284.90] kinds [3284.90 --> 3285.06] of [3285.06 --> 3285.36] questions [3285.36 --> 3286.36] a [3286.36 --> 3288.60] couple [3288.60 --> 3289.18] points [3289.18 --> 3290.32] first [3290.32 --> 3290.72] it's [3290.72 --> 3291.26] significant [3291.26 --> 3291.64] that [3291.64 --> 3291.92] this [3291.92 --> 3292.22] rich [3292.22 --> 3292.56] man [3292.56 --> 3292.88] has [3292.88 --> 3293.22] no [3293.22 --> 3293.68] name [3293.68 --> 3295.32] while [3295.32 --> 3295.52] the [3295.52 --> 3295.74] poor [3295.74 --> 3296.08] man [3296.08 --> 3296.36] has [3296.36 --> 3296.52] a [3296.52 --> 3296.82] name [3296.82 --> 3298.26] Lazarus [3298.26 --> 3300.26] his name [3300.26 --> 3300.68] means [3300.68 --> 3301.14] God [3301.14 --> 3301.52] has [3301.52 --> 3302.02] helped [3302.02 --> 3303.34] loved [3303.34 --> 3303.82] you [3303.82 --> 3309.54] God [3309.54 --> 3310.02] will [3310.02 --> 3310.40] be [3310.40 --> 3310.80] old [3310.80 --> 3311.02] a [3311.02 --> 3311.52] m [3311.52 --> 3319.50] god [3319.50 --> 3320.24] is [3320.24 --> 3320.58] being [3320.58 --> 3321.18] honored [3321.18 --> 3321.66] and [3321.66 --> 3322.92] obeyed [3322.92 --> 3327.16] servants, his people, are being named. [3328.62 --> 3332.94] That's why genealogies are important in the Bible. [3332.94 --> 3337.02] That's why it's important that churches keep records. [3338.22 --> 3338.90] People matter. [3341.84 --> 3346.64] The scriptures talk about us having our name written in the book of life. [3346.64 --> 3356.96] See, so you might say no name Christianity with mass produced religion in the name of institutional [3356.96 --> 3359.66] success is not what the scriptures are about. [3363.42 --> 3368.04] Well, not just, first of all, then there's this parable, as we said, about money. [3369.78 --> 3371.52] A rich and a poor man. [3373.24 --> 3376.34] One ends up in heaven and one ends up in hell. [3376.34 --> 3381.48] And you might have to do with, you might think it's about, well, if you're rich, you can't [3381.48 --> 3382.30] go to heaven. [3382.50 --> 3384.60] But if you're poor, you will. [3386.54 --> 3392.04] I don't believe this parable condemns money. [3392.42 --> 3399.40] It's not immoral to have a lot of money. [3400.88 --> 3402.82] I may have said this before. [3402.82 --> 3408.38] If it is immoral to be rich, God's in big trouble. [3410.96 --> 3415.26] You see, it's how we get it and how we give and steward it. [3416.02 --> 3417.82] That's what he's concerned about. [3420.62 --> 3428.52] Whether we have little or much, it's what's in our hearts and how we use our hands to, you [3428.52 --> 3430.88] might say, implement our wealth. [3432.06 --> 3437.20] This rich man has a cold and a callous heart. [3438.40 --> 3443.90] He turns a blind eye to this fellow at his doorstep. [3443.90 --> 3450.16] And Jesus is judging him for his casual indifference. [3451.72 --> 3456.84] Oh, he may have donated to worthwhile causes, but his heart was not engaged. [3458.48 --> 3460.88] The dogs at his table had more heart. [3460.88 --> 3471.64] Those canines showed mercy by using the healing that's actually in a dog's tongue to lick this [3471.64 --> 3473.24] poor man's wounds. [3475.44 --> 3481.34] You know, what happens in poor cultures, I think we're increasingly in danger of it in [3481.34 --> 3485.44] ours, is there's a larger gap between the rich and the poor. [3485.44 --> 3499.12] Here's a very affluent man dressed in purple in fine linen, and he lived in luxury every day. [3500.58 --> 3502.84] Tailor-made, expensive suits. [3503.58 --> 3507.22] Last time I read the most expensive suit in the world was just under a million. [3507.22 --> 3516.48] I remember hearing that some of the people who went to the Oscars had shoes valued at over [3516.48 --> 3517.12] a million. [3518.82 --> 3519.66] Wow. [3521.10 --> 3532.38] This man, living in luxury, does what comes natural to people with wealth, protects himself. [3533.88 --> 3536.52] Protects himself even from the poor. [3537.22 --> 3545.42] And what he thinks might be the pain of those who could potentially steal from him. [3546.70 --> 3551.42] Security continues to be big business. [3553.02 --> 3560.02] Yet how do you protect yourself from the powerless feeling that this man surely got when he kept [3560.02 --> 3565.84] seeing that poor man sitting at his gate begging for the basics? [3567.22 --> 3570.46] Well, modernize it. [3570.46 --> 3571.58] It might have helped, you know. [3571.70 --> 3577.80] He would drive by with his wonderful vehicle and the windows rolled up, you know, with the dark ones. [3578.14 --> 3581.82] He couldn't see in and hopefully he wouldn't look out too much. [3582.58 --> 3585.92] Protecting him from the heat and all that's going on. [3585.92 --> 3597.26] And while he's driving by, he's probably rationalizing his lack of engagement with the somewhat truism that this fellow was too lazy to work anyways. [3597.26 --> 3602.26] And you know, you know, you help one another show up. [3604.66 --> 3606.98] Relieving poverty is a bottomless pit. [3606.98 --> 3612.24] Only Lazarus doesn't fit his mold. [3613.66 --> 3615.16] He's not an immoral man. [3617.10 --> 3619.84] He's come by his poverty honestly. [3621.02 --> 3622.78] He would love to work. [3624.38 --> 3629.68] But he's been disabled due to his illness. [3629.68 --> 3633.18] He's not allowed to go out and work. [3634.64 --> 3637.14] And begging was his welfare system. [3638.54 --> 3642.54] I saw this working a few times when we visited in Vietnam. [3642.88 --> 3644.64] I saw beggars on the street. [3644.86 --> 3648.28] As they went down the businesses, all the business people were chipping in. [3649.40 --> 3650.50] I thought, that's strange. [3651.54 --> 3654.64] But this incredibly disabled man had no other option. [3654.64 --> 3658.24] So Lazarus wouldn't think of stealing. [3659.34 --> 3666.86] And what he's dreaming of is if he could just have some of the food that's dropping from this rich man's table. [3667.14 --> 3667.98] Some leftovers. [3669.60 --> 3671.00] But he gets ignored. [3671.84 --> 3673.58] Well, except by the guard dogs. [3674.74 --> 3676.06] And by God. [3676.96 --> 3678.40] God hasn't overlooked him. [3678.40 --> 3686.02] And so there is this huge contrast between these two men. [3687.52 --> 3688.92] In this life. [3689.80 --> 3691.70] As in the life to come. [3692.76 --> 3693.38] It's like. [3694.22 --> 3695.88] If this is a drama. [3696.04 --> 3697.16] The curtains drawn. [3697.34 --> 3698.76] The props get changed. [3698.90 --> 3700.72] And suddenly we're in act two. [3701.06 --> 3703.94] And we meet these two in the next life. [3703.94 --> 3708.46] And the angels have carried Lazarus up to heaven. [3708.64 --> 3710.32] Where he's welcomed by. [3710.58 --> 3712.66] As every Jew would only think about. [3713.30 --> 3714.34] Father Abraham. [3716.06 --> 3717.08] Embraced by him. [3720.50 --> 3723.30] Here we get a picture of what God does to those who die. [3725.38 --> 3726.00] I don't know about you. [3726.10 --> 3727.96] But in my ministry I've read. [3727.96 --> 3734.18] And I've heard stories of those who see angels coming. [3734.88 --> 3736.28] To take them away. [3738.42 --> 3743.00] I remember Dave Alexander telling me about when his dad died. [3743.56 --> 3744.78] That's what he saw. [3744.90 --> 3745.78] This great light. [3746.34 --> 3747.68] And his father passed away. [3747.90 --> 3749.50] He said he took the fear of death away. [3750.08 --> 3750.64] He was one. [3750.64 --> 3754.64] Now we can't be too dogmatic. [3754.94 --> 3756.64] About all what might. [3757.08 --> 3758.00] Might happen. [3759.24 --> 3759.90] When we. [3760.10 --> 3760.34] You know. [3760.42 --> 3761.46] How we get to heaven. [3761.78 --> 3763.46] And how we can identify. [3763.72 --> 3765.56] How well are we going to identify. [3766.24 --> 3767.28] But we do know this. [3767.38 --> 3769.72] We're not going to be part of a nameless crowd. [3770.10 --> 3771.38] We will know each other. [3774.28 --> 3775.10] But if we. [3775.60 --> 3776.42] We might. [3776.42 --> 3778.88] If we try and get too much detail. [3778.88 --> 3779.76] Out of this parable. [3779.76 --> 3780.86] Well we might conclude. [3781.00 --> 3782.94] That those who end up on Hades. [3783.06 --> 3784.20] On the other side. [3784.80 --> 3786.94] Can actually look into heaven. [3787.20 --> 3789.10] And see people over there. [3791.74 --> 3793.48] And never gain relief. [3794.00 --> 3794.76] And I guess. [3794.92 --> 3795.76] It could be true. [3795.84 --> 3797.18] Because if you think about it. [3798.28 --> 3799.68] What's spiritual hell? [3799.94 --> 3801.02] It's sitting here. [3801.50 --> 3803.18] Watching people over there. [3804.02 --> 3805.24] Knowing how good they have it. [3805.24 --> 3807.50] And knowing you can never get there. [3809.76 --> 3810.68] Oof. [3811.56 --> 3812.22] That's hell. [3812.72 --> 3813.46] That's painful. [3814.82 --> 3816.06] Well in any case. [3816.44 --> 3817.66] Here's this man in hell. [3817.90 --> 3818.02] After. [3819.20 --> 3821.74] I think we can assume he had an expensive funeral. [3822.00 --> 3823.46] A pretty ornate casket. [3823.64 --> 3824.28] And flowers. [3824.66 --> 3824.78] And. [3825.48 --> 3826.32] Here he is though. [3827.18 --> 3827.86] In hell. [3828.62 --> 3829.14] Hades. [3830.14 --> 3831.18] His suit's gone. [3831.18 --> 3831.32] And. [3831.32 --> 3836.08] I remember someone once wrote. [3836.22 --> 3837.40] If I can't take it with me. [3837.46 --> 3838.16] I'm not going. [3839.48 --> 3840.74] Well a nice try. [3840.92 --> 3841.64] We're all going. [3842.14 --> 3842.42] And. [3842.74 --> 3844.10] We're not going to take it with us. [3844.20 --> 3845.58] But we will get our reward. [3846.22 --> 3847.22] As this man did. [3848.82 --> 3849.66] And when he. [3849.66 --> 3852.10] Gets to his eternal destination. [3852.32 --> 3853.54] He begins to suffer. [3855.62 --> 3856.30] And you know. [3856.36 --> 3857.62] When we start suffering. [3858.08 --> 3859.44] Whatever it is. [3859.68 --> 3860.46] That we have. [3860.68 --> 3861.18] We start. [3861.86 --> 3862.84] Recognizing others. [3863.68 --> 3863.94] Who. [3864.10 --> 3864.72] Who suffer. [3866.58 --> 3867.14] And. [3867.38 --> 3867.74] Suddenly. [3869.22 --> 3870.86] He's thinking about Lazarus. [3870.96 --> 3871.20] Well. [3873.06 --> 3873.58] Actually. [3874.02 --> 3876.04] I think he's more thinking of himself. [3877.10 --> 3879.38] He's not moved to pity anymore about him. [3879.38 --> 3880.10] Now he's got. [3880.42 --> 3880.94] Self. [3881.70 --> 3882.02] Pity. [3883.02 --> 3884.66] And now guess who's begging. [3885.84 --> 3886.54] It's him. [3889.00 --> 3890.16] Father Abraham. [3890.30 --> 3891.54] Have pity on me. [3893.06 --> 3894.42] Send Lazarus. [3894.64 --> 3894.74] To. [3894.92 --> 3895.76] To dip. [3896.16 --> 3896.50] You know. [3896.58 --> 3897.92] The tip of his finger. [3898.10 --> 3898.56] In water. [3898.82 --> 3898.84] And. [3898.84 --> 3900.26] And cool my tongue. [3900.38 --> 3901.36] I'm in agony. [3901.36 --> 3902.34] In this fire. [3904.46 --> 3904.90] I mean. [3905.48 --> 3905.84] I mean. [3905.84 --> 3906.28] This is. [3906.46 --> 3907.40] A little bit more than. [3907.52 --> 3907.68] You know. [3907.74 --> 3908.26] He ordered. [3908.42 --> 3909.00] Too spicy. [3909.00 --> 3909.90] Food at a. [3910.32 --> 3910.70] You know. [3911.96 --> 3912.90] A restaurant. [3913.16 --> 3914.18] And he's calling the waiter. [3914.30 --> 3915.46] To give him a glass of water. [3915.58 --> 3915.80] That's. [3915.90 --> 3917.14] Much deeper than that. [3919.52 --> 3920.56] But this man. [3920.68 --> 3922.32] Thinks he can still make. [3923.22 --> 3923.66] Demands. [3924.50 --> 3926.06] He's always been in control. [3926.14 --> 3926.72] Of his life. [3928.78 --> 3929.86] The great sin. [3929.94 --> 3931.16] Of not only many rich. [3931.28 --> 3932.20] But of all too many. [3932.20 --> 3933.20] In affluent countries. [3933.20 --> 3934.20] Out of concern. [3934.20 --> 3937.30] Out of concern for. [3938.68 --> 3939.36] Ourselves. [3939.36 --> 3940.40] People are quick. [3940.40 --> 3940.96] To make. [3941.22 --> 3941.90] Demands. [3943.42 --> 3944.56] We used to buying. [3945.00 --> 3945.60] Ordering. [3947.36 --> 3947.96] Well. [3948.58 --> 3949.48] Not so. [3949.58 --> 3950.62] On the other side. [3952.82 --> 3953.38] So. [3953.46 --> 3954.40] Abram reminds. [3954.40 --> 3955.62] His lost son. [3955.72 --> 3956.52] He calls him. [3956.52 --> 3958.02] That now. [3958.02 --> 3959.28] He's starting to dream. [3959.28 --> 3960.00] Of relief. [3960.00 --> 3960.92] From the heat. [3962.30 --> 3962.90] And. [3962.98 --> 3964.54] The very thing. [3965.84 --> 3966.46] Lazarus. [3966.46 --> 3967.08] Used to have. [3967.30 --> 3968.48] Similar dreams. [3968.48 --> 3969.22] Of relief. [3969.88 --> 3970.80] From probably heat. [3970.80 --> 3971.80] And hunger. [3971.80 --> 3975.44] It seems a little harsh. [3975.54 --> 3975.94] Doesn't it? [3976.58 --> 3977.10] Son. [3977.32 --> 3978.34] Remember how. [3978.42 --> 3979.28] In your lifetime. [3981.18 --> 3981.44] You. [3981.54 --> 3982.76] You received so many. [3982.96 --> 3983.82] Good things. [3983.90 --> 3984.58] In Lazarus. [3984.64 --> 3984.84] Here. [3984.92 --> 3985.12] He. [3985.12 --> 3986.32] He got the bad end. [3986.34 --> 3986.96] Of the stick. [3987.54 --> 3988.22] And now. [3988.30 --> 3989.14] He's comforted. [3989.30 --> 3990.30] And you're in agony. [3991.56 --> 3991.78] So. [3992.04 --> 3992.22] Just. [3992.48 --> 3993.36] Keep that in mind. [3993.60 --> 3993.62] And. [3994.58 --> 3995.58] Besides that. [3997.52 --> 3998.52] There's this big. [3999.18 --> 3999.70] Chasm. [3999.70 --> 4002.40] And we can't go to you. [4002.56 --> 4003.62] And you can't. [4003.86 --> 4004.20] Come. [4004.76 --> 4005.08] Over. [4005.76 --> 4006.44] To us. [4008.10 --> 4009.30] Well as we said. [4009.40 --> 4010.24] Maybe this story. [4010.42 --> 4011.00] Isn't meant. [4011.00 --> 4012.16] As a precise. [4013.20 --> 4013.84] Description. [4014.28 --> 4014.72] Of heaven. [4014.86 --> 4015.34] And hell. [4015.48 --> 4016.04] But Jesus. [4016.56 --> 4018.22] Is teaching us. [4018.38 --> 4018.62] Here. [4018.76 --> 4019.66] A few things. [4019.98 --> 4020.42] Namely. [4020.52 --> 4021.28] There is. [4022.20 --> 4023.14] There is. [4023.26 --> 4023.82] A heaven. [4025.00 --> 4026.42] And there is. [4026.92 --> 4027.40] A hell. [4029.70 --> 4030.20] A heaven. [4030.20 --> 4030.70] A heaven. [4030.70 --> 4031.16] A heaven. [4031.16 --> 4032.64] And he is. [4032.64 --> 4033.82] Teaching us. [4034.02 --> 4035.32] That this life. [4035.74 --> 4036.18] Is. [4036.50 --> 4037.56] A test. [4038.40 --> 4039.28] For the one. [4039.36 --> 4039.76] To come. [4041.66 --> 4043.34] And when all is said. [4043.42 --> 4043.88] And done. [4046.16 --> 4047.32] There is. [4047.50 --> 4048.44] No going back. [4050.06 --> 4051.12] There is. [4051.34 --> 4052.08] In the scriptures. [4052.08 --> 4052.84] For us. [4052.88 --> 4053.46] Eternally. [4053.56 --> 4054.00] No. [4054.44 --> 4054.96] Plan. [4055.62 --> 4055.92] B. [4055.92 --> 4056.52] No. [4056.52 --> 4056.92] No. [4056.92 --> 4057.92] No. [4057.92 --> 4058.76] No. [4058.76 --> 4059.28] Second. [4059.28 --> 4060.04] Chances. [4060.04 --> 4060.96] After. [4060.96 --> 4062.06] The funeral. [4063.10 --> 4063.86] No. [4063.86 --> 4064.34] Court. [4064.40 --> 4064.50] Of. [4064.50 --> 4065.20] Appeal. [4065.20 --> 4066.40] In hell. [4067.40 --> 4067.66] No. [4067.84 --> 4068.28] Crossing. [4068.40 --> 4068.72] Over. [4069.20 --> 4070.30] To the other side. [4074.82 --> 4075.78] We. [4076.04 --> 4076.28] Do. [4076.60 --> 4077.02] Really. [4077.50 --> 4078.00] Well. [4078.44 --> 4078.98] To let. [4079.46 --> 4079.84] These. [4080.10 --> 4080.74] Truth. [4081.14 --> 4081.72] Sink. [4082.26 --> 4082.56] In. [4082.56 --> 4082.62] In. [4085.92 --> 4088.80] The rich man. [4088.80 --> 4089.04] Now. [4089.16 --> 4089.66] Gets it. [4093.10 --> 4093.56] And. [4093.68 --> 4094.70] They got to give this to him. [4094.70 --> 4096.08] He's a bit of a family man. [4098.16 --> 4098.62] Well. [4098.72 --> 4098.96] Given. [4099.14 --> 4099.20] As. [4099.36 --> 4100.28] I'm stuck. [4101.28 --> 4102.60] What about my family? [4102.70 --> 4103.06] I got. [4103.24 --> 4103.52] These. [4103.80 --> 4104.12] These. [4104.34 --> 4104.72] These. [4104.72 --> 4105.30] These brothers. [4106.36 --> 4106.84] And. [4106.84 --> 4107.66] They're down there. [4107.76 --> 4107.84] And. [4107.86 --> 4108.04] They're. [4108.14 --> 4109.12] They're like me. [4109.46 --> 4109.72] And. [4109.82 --> 4110.80] They need to know. [4110.98 --> 4111.18] About. [4111.40 --> 4111.76] This. [4112.88 --> 4113.34] So. [4113.48 --> 4114.32] I beg you. [4114.58 --> 4114.98] You know. [4114.98 --> 4115.90] Send. [4116.56 --> 4117.00] Lazarus. [4117.00 --> 4118.12] To my family. [4118.56 --> 4119.78] To my five brothers. [4120.44 --> 4120.64] And. [4120.70 --> 4121.22] Have him. [4121.78 --> 4122.46] Warn them. [4122.58 --> 4125.00] So that they won't come to this place of torment. [4126.66 --> 4128.32] The tone of defensiveness. [4129.02 --> 4130.56] Because he's really saying. [4130.64 --> 4130.82] You know. [4130.86 --> 4131.90] If I'd have known this. [4132.02 --> 4132.14] Well. [4132.50 --> 4133.72] I'd have done different. [4136.34 --> 4136.82] Hindsight. [4137.28 --> 4137.68] 2020. [4138.04 --> 4138.48] We say. [4139.24 --> 4139.48] Well. [4139.52 --> 4139.86] At least. [4140.00 --> 4140.96] Give my family. [4141.08 --> 4141.98] A set of lenses. [4141.98 --> 4143.96] So that they can have some foresight. [4143.96 --> 4148.16] Might say. [4148.28 --> 4149.36] If I may speak lightly. [4149.58 --> 4151.38] If you send Lazarus down there. [4151.52 --> 4151.68] They'll. [4151.76 --> 4153.42] He'll scare the hell out of them. [4153.48 --> 4154.96] And they'll jump as high as heaven. [4157.62 --> 4158.14] Well. [4158.30 --> 4160.30] The possibility of that happening. [4160.30 --> 4161.04] Says Abraham. [4161.04 --> 4162.72] Is pretty low. [4164.30 --> 4165.26] Not likely. [4166.34 --> 4167.42] In fact. [4167.54 --> 4168.66] This is interesting. [4168.66 --> 4170.62] When Jesus spoke this parable. [4170.72 --> 4172.66] Maybe that's why he uses his name. [4172.66 --> 4175.74] He had already raised Lazarus. [4175.74 --> 4176.50] From the dead. [4178.94 --> 4180.26] And the Pharisees. [4180.38 --> 4181.50] When they had seen that. [4181.82 --> 4183.56] Got all the angry with Jesus. [4184.70 --> 4186.38] And were all the more determined. [4186.38 --> 4187.40] To put him to death. [4187.40 --> 4193.96] Well. [4196.08 --> 4198.00] What does Moses say. [4198.14 --> 4198.32] I mean. [4198.38 --> 4199.42] Abraham say. [4199.62 --> 4200.38] In response. [4200.48 --> 4201.38] To this request. [4201.50 --> 4202.46] To send Lazarus. [4202.54 --> 4202.68] Well. [4202.76 --> 4203.52] They have Moses. [4203.52 --> 4204.34] And the prophets. [4206.92 --> 4208.30] Let them listen to them. [4210.36 --> 4211.24] You might say. [4211.32 --> 4213.04] We got a pocket Old Testament here. [4213.16 --> 4215.02] Start handing out pocket Old Testaments. [4215.78 --> 4216.66] That'll set you. [4216.66 --> 4217.14] Do it. [4218.82 --> 4220.22] To which the rich man. [4220.44 --> 4220.90] Replies. [4221.08 --> 4222.46] Because he knew his Old Testament. [4222.62 --> 4222.76] No. [4222.88 --> 4223.68] Father Abraham. [4224.82 --> 4226.70] If someone comes from the dead. [4228.22 --> 4229.58] They will repent. [4230.86 --> 4231.72] Quite a word. [4231.96 --> 4233.02] They will repent. [4234.02 --> 4234.80] What's needed. [4236.52 --> 4237.60] But then Abraham. [4237.84 --> 4238.92] Gets in the last word. [4239.04 --> 4239.78] In this parable. [4240.38 --> 4240.66] No. [4242.44 --> 4243.04] You know what. [4243.06 --> 4244.00] If they don't have any use. [4244.00 --> 4244.54] For Moses. [4244.54 --> 4244.56] For Moses. [4244.56 --> 4244.60] For Moses. [4244.60 --> 4245.28] For the prophets. [4245.28 --> 4245.48] For the prophets. [4245.48 --> 4245.50] For the prophets. [4247.28 --> 4248.68] They won't be convinced. [4248.88 --> 4249.66] Even if someone. [4249.66 --> 4250.72] Raises from the dead. [4255.50 --> 4256.66] It's true today. [4256.66 --> 4259.14] We live in a world. [4259.14 --> 4260.42] That likes evidence. [4263.38 --> 4265.88] Some people need to be reasoned into the faith. [4266.10 --> 4267.58] But most in our generation. [4267.78 --> 4268.92] They like to be wowed. [4271.20 --> 4272.72] You can talk forever. [4272.94 --> 4274.60] Words don't seem to have much. [4275.10 --> 4275.58] Much. [4276.22 --> 4276.78] Punch. [4277.00 --> 4277.50] But boy. [4277.62 --> 4279.24] Show me something spectacular. [4280.64 --> 4282.02] That's why we love movies. [4282.02 --> 4283.38] That are powerful. [4284.04 --> 4285.38] Or big shows. [4285.38 --> 4289.12] Something that will get to us. [4289.26 --> 4290.30] And shake us. [4293.10 --> 4295.46] But what will it really take. [4295.64 --> 4297.48] To have us repent of our sin. [4298.48 --> 4299.96] And follow Jesus. [4301.10 --> 4303.14] And forever change our ways. [4306.74 --> 4309.06] You know in our pleasure seeking world. [4309.98 --> 4313.40] Where both legal and illegal drugs. [4313.40 --> 4315.86] Are numbing so many minds. [4315.86 --> 4318.56] To the reality of what's happening. [4319.40 --> 4322.54] Words have less and less power. [4324.12 --> 4330.14] And even if in our so called scientific day. [4330.64 --> 4333.76] Where science seems to have so much power. [4334.12 --> 4337.40] If someone came back from the dead. [4337.40 --> 4342.74] Would that convince the spiritual skeptics. [4342.74 --> 4343.86] Would that convince the spiritual skeptics. [4347.24 --> 4348.24] No. [4348.40 --> 4349.02] Says Abraham. [4349.92 --> 4352.06] It will only affect those. [4352.20 --> 4354.06] Who like the disciples of Jesus. [4355.06 --> 4358.06] Are eager to know God. [4359.06 --> 4360.86] And follow his word. [4363.18 --> 4363.86] Obey him. [4363.86 --> 4368.82] Jesus came back from the dead. [4371.52 --> 4372.74] Startled the disciples. [4373.64 --> 4374.38] That's for sure. [4375.64 --> 4378.02] His resurrection is what jump started. [4378.16 --> 4379.66] The New Testament church. [4380.94 --> 4383.68] But it only started among those. [4383.68 --> 4385.84] Who had a hunger for God. [4386.32 --> 4387.54] And his word. [4388.08 --> 4389.40] And who were looking for him. [4389.40 --> 4393.06] They were open to God. [4396.56 --> 4398.06] Do you hunger for God? [4400.52 --> 4402.36] Do you want to know his word? [4402.92 --> 4404.26] What's the truth of life? [4405.44 --> 4406.36] How do I live? [4409.70 --> 4411.66] It's all summed up in Jesus. [4413.42 --> 4415.32] All you need to know about God. [4416.40 --> 4416.92] Jesus. [4417.08 --> 4418.58] The one speaking the parable. [4419.40 --> 4421.58] And they couldn't see it. [4422.96 --> 4424.24] Do you see it? [4425.24 --> 4428.28] Or are you waiting to be wooed? [4429.68 --> 4431.22] Somehow surprised? [4433.74 --> 4436.14] The only wooing Jesus does. [4436.78 --> 4438.02] Or God does rather. [4438.26 --> 4439.46] Is through his son Jesus. [4440.56 --> 4442.76] Who is the fulfillment of Moses. [4443.18 --> 4444.28] And the prophets. [4444.28 --> 4448.14] And today we have the life. [4448.24 --> 4449.82] And the stories of Jesus. [4451.32 --> 4453.46] We know he's the resurrected one. [4454.46 --> 4455.82] We have his spirit. [4457.06 --> 4459.64] We have the testimony of the church of Christ. [4459.64 --> 4461.54] Over these past 20 centuries. [4461.84 --> 4463.46] All of its ups and downs. [4463.56 --> 4464.40] And its sufferings. [4464.50 --> 4465.24] But the church. [4465.62 --> 4467.92] Has continued to be sustained. [4467.92 --> 4470.82] What more do we need. [4471.38 --> 4472.84] To stir our soul. [4473.88 --> 4475.46] Than the message. [4475.98 --> 4476.74] Of Jesus. [4478.04 --> 4479.16] And who he is. [4479.34 --> 4481.34] As a fulfillment of God. [4482.94 --> 4485.34] If that message of the gospel. [4485.70 --> 4486.86] Will not soften. [4486.86 --> 4488.48] Our hearts. [4488.70 --> 4491.10] No angel visitation. [4491.10 --> 4492.68] Or family member. [4492.80 --> 4494.74] Coming back from the dead. [4495.72 --> 4497.66] Will cause us to repent. [4499.16 --> 4501.66] And that's why the best thing we can do. [4501.82 --> 4502.72] For our family. [4503.58 --> 4504.88] If we want them. [4504.96 --> 4505.76] Like this man. [4505.90 --> 4506.80] To get to heaven. [4507.72 --> 4509.22] Is to share with them. [4509.54 --> 4511.02] The word of God. [4511.86 --> 4513.00] In both word. [4513.82 --> 4515.38] And deed. [4515.38 --> 4518.14] That's why. [4519.02 --> 4520.74] It's so valuable. [4521.02 --> 4522.52] That we teach children. [4522.68 --> 4523.42] The stories. [4523.56 --> 4524.46] Of the scriptures. [4525.78 --> 4527.20] And in the process. [4527.92 --> 4529.78] Make the story of God. [4529.90 --> 4530.62] And who he is. [4530.74 --> 4531.84] Come alive for them. [4531.88 --> 4532.62] As it is. [4533.06 --> 4533.70] We trust. [4534.44 --> 4535.14] For us. [4537.86 --> 4538.70] I'm told. [4538.82 --> 4539.94] I don't know much about him. [4540.94 --> 4542.54] That it was stories like that. [4542.62 --> 4543.70] That changed the life. [4543.70 --> 4545.14] Of Dr. Albert. [4545.38 --> 4546.06] Schweitzer. [4546.20 --> 4547.14] He was a very. [4547.74 --> 4548.94] Rich man. [4550.76 --> 4551.62] Enjoying the. [4552.12 --> 4552.56] Lucrative. [4553.08 --> 4553.56] Academic. [4553.90 --> 4554.22] World. [4554.56 --> 4555.04] Of Europe. [4555.26 --> 4556.52] And he went to Africa. [4557.60 --> 4558.28] To care. [4558.82 --> 4559.74] For the poor. [4560.04 --> 4561.78] Who he came to see. [4562.90 --> 4564.12] Were the Lazarus. [4564.46 --> 4565.36] At his gate. [4567.16 --> 4568.96] The word of God can do that. [4569.30 --> 4570.24] As it did to him. [4571.90 --> 4572.52] But does that mean. [4572.52 --> 4573.72] We need to go to Africa. [4574.02 --> 4574.58] It might. [4575.38 --> 4577.50] But what it does mean. [4577.64 --> 4578.00] Is that. [4578.84 --> 4579.96] We're to listen. [4580.06 --> 4581.14] As best we can. [4581.28 --> 4582.10] For the voice. [4582.44 --> 4583.54] Of the master. [4584.44 --> 4585.70] Who's always eager. [4586.14 --> 4586.64] To help. [4587.14 --> 4587.72] The poor. [4589.32 --> 4590.26] And as. [4590.52 --> 4590.64] Is. [4590.72 --> 4591.06] Is. [4591.26 --> 4591.46] Pray. [4591.62 --> 4591.78] That. [4592.18 --> 4592.38] You know. [4592.38 --> 4592.52] What. [4593.04 --> 4594.02] It's not always. [4594.02 --> 4595.22] It's complicated. [4595.22 --> 4596.34] Helping the poor. [4596.34 --> 4596.74] Today. [4596.90 --> 4597.92] Who are the poor. [4598.96 --> 4599.88] Among us. [4601.20 --> 4601.72] Particularly. [4601.72 --> 4602.98] In North America. [4603.64 --> 4604.32] It is as. [4605.06 --> 4606.54] As Jesus saying. [4606.70 --> 4607.76] Blessed are the poor. [4608.26 --> 4608.96] In spirit. [4611.02 --> 4612.38] Many are filled. [4612.38 --> 4613.88] With material things. [4615.28 --> 4616.56] But they're searching. [4616.56 --> 4617.32] And lost. [4617.32 --> 4618.80] They're very poor. [4618.80 --> 4620.50] In here. [4622.56 --> 4623.80] Let me conclude. [4624.26 --> 4625.08] By asking. [4625.46 --> 4626.08] What we did. [4626.18 --> 4626.88] At the beginning. [4628.56 --> 4629.68] What do you think. [4629.76 --> 4630.32] Happens. [4630.72 --> 4631.66] When you die. [4633.44 --> 4634.50] Do you believe. [4634.50 --> 4634.98] In life. [4634.98 --> 4635.64] After death. [4637.02 --> 4637.96] In heaven. [4639.70 --> 4640.78] And in hell. [4640.78 --> 4640.90] Well. [4641.90 --> 4643.28] And do you think. [4643.72 --> 4644.70] That how we live. [4644.78 --> 4645.40] In this life. [4645.48 --> 4646.20] Actually makes. [4646.36 --> 4646.84] Difference. [4647.56 --> 4648.02] For the one. [4648.10 --> 4648.44] To come. [4651.16 --> 4652.28] The poorest. [4652.50 --> 4652.94] Person. [4653.14 --> 4653.74] Is the one. [4653.92 --> 4654.92] Who does not know. [4655.04 --> 4655.52] God. [4656.08 --> 4656.82] And Jesus. [4657.64 --> 4658.76] Whom he has sent. [4661.18 --> 4662.50] It does a person. [4662.62 --> 4663.22] Little good. [4663.42 --> 4663.94] To live. [4664.02 --> 4664.68] And die. [4665.78 --> 4666.80] Well fed. [4668.38 --> 4669.40] The person. [4669.56 --> 4670.24] Best off. [4670.24 --> 4670.94] Is the one. [4670.94 --> 4671.80] Whose heart. [4673.00 --> 4674.40] Has been shaped. [4674.80 --> 4675.48] Softened. [4675.62 --> 4676.28] Redeemed. [4677.28 --> 4677.96] By the. [4678.22 --> 4678.96] Loving heart. [4679.02 --> 4679.56] Of God. [4681.52 --> 4682.98] But loveless. [4684.10 --> 4685.40] Hard hearted. [4685.82 --> 4686.30] Folk. [4687.48 --> 4688.76] Have no future. [4689.34 --> 4689.94] With God. [4691.52 --> 4692.96] It is the pious. [4693.88 --> 4694.50] Loving. [4696.46 --> 4697.52] Soft hearted. [4698.52 --> 4699.56] Yet firm. [4699.56 --> 4700.16] Hearts. [4701.16 --> 4702.24] Able to repent. [4702.24 --> 4702.86] Of sin. [4704.74 --> 4705.78] Seek Christ. [4707.28 --> 4708.68] And then serve others. [4708.94 --> 4709.90] That are rewarded. [4709.90 --> 4710.66] With the gift. [4711.42 --> 4712.52] Of eternal life. [4714.72 --> 4716.14] Jesus is the way. [4717.38 --> 4718.06] And the way. [4718.06 --> 4718.86] We live. [4718.86 --> 4719.98] In this life. [4720.12 --> 4720.82] Either with. [4720.82 --> 4721.98] Or without him. [4721.98 --> 4722.98] Will determine. [4722.98 --> 4723.78] Will determine. [4723.78 --> 4724.58] What happens. [4724.58 --> 4725.88] When we die. [4727.46 --> 4728.80] Pray with me. [4730.26 --> 4731.04] Oh Lord Jesus. [4731.04 --> 4731.72] Thank you. [4731.86 --> 4732.48] For coming. [4733.76 --> 4734.86] For calling us. [4736.86 --> 4738.02] This story. [4738.02 --> 4738.80] Leaves us. [4738.80 --> 4739.94] With sometimes. [4739.94 --> 4740.94] A mixture. [4740.94 --> 4742.30] Of feelings. [4742.30 --> 4742.96] Because. [4742.96 --> 4745.18] We can find. [4745.18 --> 4745.20] We can find. [4745.20 --> 4745.80] Ourselves. [4745.80 --> 4747.00] In the shoes. [4747.00 --> 4748.32] Of that wealthy person. [4748.56 --> 4748.72] We. [4748.96 --> 4749.76] We know. [4749.76 --> 4750.78] That we've walked. [4751.00 --> 4751.82] And driven by. [4751.96 --> 4752.32] People. [4752.48 --> 4753.26] That needed help. [4755.98 --> 4756.76] Help us. [4756.76 --> 4757.18] To see. [4757.18 --> 4757.78] Lord Jesus. [4757.78 --> 4758.78] That first of all. [4759.34 --> 4760.56] We need help. [4761.14 --> 4762.30] I need help. [4763.30 --> 4764.66] We need you. [4764.66 --> 4767.62] And as you fill us. [4767.62 --> 4768.72] With your spirit. [4769.72 --> 4770.90] With the richness. [4770.90 --> 4771.72] Of yourself. [4773.46 --> 4774.96] You by your spirit. [4774.96 --> 4775.92] Equip us. [4776.40 --> 4777.06] To share. [4777.64 --> 4778.96] All our riches. [4779.90 --> 4780.84] Who we are. [4781.02 --> 4782.64] And what we have. [4783.74 --> 4784.82] With others. [4787.02 --> 4788.58] Continue to soften. [4788.76 --> 4789.34] Our hearts. [4790.58 --> 4791.70] Help us to see. [4792.40 --> 4793.26] What you see. [4793.62 --> 4794.52] In this world. [4794.66 --> 4797.06] And to respond. [4797.96 --> 4799.06] As you would have us. [4799.16 --> 4799.76] Respond. [4800.64 --> 4801.70] To whatever it is. [4801.88 --> 4803.28] You place around us. [4804.62 --> 4805.14] And so. [4805.28 --> 4806.00] May your kingdom. [4806.28 --> 4807.36] Continue to come. [4808.58 --> 4809.86] And your will be done. [4810.26 --> 4810.96] Through us. [4811.84 --> 4812.70] On this earth. [4813.16 --> 4814.00] Until we come. [4814.12 --> 4815.00] To be with you. [4815.92 --> 4816.74] In eternity. [4817.38 --> 4818.34] In Jesus name. [4818.42 --> 4818.86] We pray. [4819.46 --> 4819.84] Amen. [4825.50 --> 4826.62] Please stand with us. [4826.62 --> 4827.28] As we sing. [4827.38 --> 4828.16] Take my life. [4828.32 --> 4829.00] And let it be. [4829.00 --> 4829.30] Take my life. [4829.30 --> 4829.56] And let it be. [4829.56 --> 4830.00] Take my life. [4830.00 --> 4830.20] And let it be. [4830.20 --> 4831.00] Take my life. [4831.00 --> 4831.20] And let it be. [4831.20 --> 4836.90] Take my life. [4836.90 --> 4839.74] And let it be. [4839.74 --> 4840.92] Take my life. [4840.92 --> 4843.88] And let it be. [4843.88 --> 4854.22] Take my life. [4854.22 --> 4855.86] And let it be. [4855.86 --> 4858.00] And let it be. [4858.00 --> 4863.84] consecrated Lord to thee. [4863.84 --> 4869.68] Take my moments and my days. [4869.68 --> 4875.46] Let them flow in endless praise. [4875.46 --> 4881.80] Let them flow in endless praise. [4881.80 --> 4883.80] Take my life. [4883.80 --> 4884.80] Take my life. [4884.80 --> 4889.04] Take my silver and my gold. [4889.04 --> 4894.40] Not a might would I withhold. [4894.40 --> 4900.50] Take my intellect and use. [4900.50 --> 4906.42] Every power as thou shalt choose. [4906.42 --> 4913.06] Every power as thou shalt choose. [4913.06 --> 4920.28] Take my will and make it thine. [4920.28 --> 4926.14] It shall be no longer mine. [4926.14 --> 4928.92] Take my heart. [4928.92 --> 4932.16] It is thine own. [4932.16 --> 4937.60] It shall be thy royal throne. [4937.60 --> 4944.14] It shall be thy royal throne. [4945.82 --> 4952.58] Take my love, my Lord, I pour. [4952.58 --> 4953.58] Thou, I pour. [4953.58 --> 4958.58] Let thy feet its treasure store. [4958.58 --> 4965.04] Take myself and I will be. [4965.04 --> 4971.06] Ever only all for thee. [4971.06 --> 4977.54] Ever only all for thee. [4977.54 --> 4991.84] Ever only all for thee. [4991.84 --> 4995.88] Ever only all for thee. [4995.88 --> 4997.54] Thank you for leading us in worship. [5000.04 --> 5004.12] The words, particularly in the first number of songs, [5004.12 --> 5008.42] were very helpful in preparing my heart for bringing the word. [5008.42 --> 5009.80] So thank you for that. [5009.80 --> 5012.16] It's good to worship together. [5012.16 --> 5016.20] It's good to be reminded of who our Lord Jesus is. [5016.20 --> 5020.58] And as I was standing after the message thinking, [5020.58 --> 5027.96] wow, I hope you heard not just the cutting edge of the word, [5028.10 --> 5033.44] but that you also heard from Jesus this call to come to him, [5033.44 --> 5034.68] who is life. [5035.94 --> 5040.22] I trust that for most of us, you walk with the Lord Jesus. [5041.10 --> 5045.80] You have this assurance that you're headed to the right place. [5046.52 --> 5050.46] If you're not, get right with God. [5050.60 --> 5051.32] Find someone. [5052.74 --> 5053.74] Make it right. [5054.80 --> 5056.10] Know who Christ is. [5056.86 --> 5058.66] Because he wants to be with you. [5059.44 --> 5060.84] He wants to bless you. [5060.84 --> 5063.24] He wants to walk with you. [5064.76 --> 5068.06] So go into this day, this week, whatever it is that brings, [5068.74 --> 5071.72] knowing that that's who Christ is, the one who walks with you. [5072.28 --> 5073.96] And the Lord bless you and keep you. [5074.38 --> 5077.48] The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you.
