When you sit down with us because of your understanding of the culture, the language,

Which are things that were hidden
00:01:53.269 --> 00:01:54.571
That were hidden that he comes to make known
00:01:54.637 --> 00:01:56.372
That he comes to make known or to reveal.
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:58.875
Or to reveal. one of the things that we do
00:01:58.942 --> 00:02:00.210
One of the things that we do inside of the secrets,
00:02:00.276 --> 00:02:01.377
With the rock, the road,
00:02:02.645 --> 00:02:03.980
With the rock, the road, and the rabbi , and mysteries
00:02:04.080 --> 00:02:05.348
With the rock, the road, and the rabbi , and mysteries is that when people read
00:02:05.415 --> 00:02:06.983
And the rabbi , and mysteries is that when people read the bible,
00:02:07.050 --> 00:02:08.084
Is that when people read the bible, there are these little details
00:02:08.151 --> 00:02:09.152
The bible, there are these little details that are there
00:02:09.219 --> 00:02:10.486
There are these little details that are there that they oftentimes
00:02:10.553 --> 00:02:11.754
That are there that they oftentimes just gloss over.
00:02:11.821 --> 00:02:12.855
That they oftentimes just gloss over. but there are deeper truths
00:02:12.922 --> 00:02:14.190
Just gloss over. but there are deeper truths to be revealed in them
00:02:14.257 --> 00:02:15.391
But there are deeper truths to be revealed in them and that's what we're doing
00:02:15.458 --> 00:02:16.559
To be revealed in them and that's what we're doing in the book.
00:02:16.626 --> 00:02:17.927
And that's what we're doing in the book. like why does he
00:02:17.994 --> 00:02:19.128
In the book. like why does he do the miracle
00:02:19.195 --> 00:02:20.296
Like why does he do the miracle with six stone pots?
00:02:20.363 --> 00:02:21.464
Do the miracle with six stone pots? why on the third day?
00:02:21.531 --> 00:02:22.732
With six stone pots? why on the third day? why all these things?
00:02:22.799 --> 00:02:23.967
Why on the third day? why all these things? these are secrets or mysteries
00:02:24.033 --> 00:02:25.235
Why all these things? these are secrets or mysteries that god wants
00:02:25.301 --> 00:02:26.369
These are secrets or mysteries that god wants to make known to us
00:02:26.436 --> 00:02:27.570
That god wants to make known to us through the text.
00:02:27.637 --> 00:02:28.738
To make known to us through the text. randy: well,
00:02:28.805 --> 00:02:29.906
Through the text. randy: well, let's get into it.
00:02:29.973 --> 00:02:31.241
Randy: well, let's get into it. i'm curious
00:02:31.307 --> 00:02:32.642
Let's get into it. i'm curious because the first miracle
00:02:32.709 --> 00:02:34.110
I'm curious because the first miracle that jesus did
00:02:34.177 --> 00:02:35.478
Because the first miracle that jesus did always -- i kind of wondered,
00:02:35.545 --> 00:02:38.715
That jesus did always -- i kind of wondered, especially
00:02:38.781 --> 00:02:39.949
Always -- i kind of wondered, especially in my baptist church
00:02:40.016 --> 00:02:41.017
Especially in my baptist church where jesus turned the wine
00:02:41.084 --> 00:02:42.218
In my baptist church where jesus turned the wine into grape --
00:02:42.285 --> 00:02:43.419
Where jesus turned the wine into grape -- or the water into grape juice,
00:02:43.486 --> 00:02:45.521
Into grape -- or the water into grape juice, what was going on there?
00:02:45.588 --> 00:02:47.423
Or the water into grape juice, what was going on there? what do you see
00:02:47.490 --> 00:02:48.524
What was going on there? what do you see in that miracle?
00:02:48.591 --> 00:02:49.592
What do you see in that miracle? jason: yeah, of course.
00:02:49.659 --> 00:02:50.693
In that miracle? jason: yeah, of course. in the book,
00:02:50.760 --> 00:02:51.761
Jason: yeah, of course. in the book, we talk about this being
00:02:51.828 --> 00:02:52.862
In the book, we talk about this being the miracle of transformation.
00:02:52.929 --> 00:02:54.897
We talk about this being the miracle of transformation. he takes water,
00:02:54.964 --> 00:02:56.199
The miracle of transformation. he takes water, which is ordinary,
00:02:56.266 --> 00:02:57.767
He takes water, which is ordinary, and he turns it into wine
00:02:57.834 --> 00:02:58.968
Which is ordinary, and he turns it into wine which is something
00:02:59.035 --> 00:03:00.169
And he turns it into wine which is something extraordinary.
00:03:00.236 --> 00:03:01.304
Which is something extraordinary. and that's exactly what
00:03:01.371 --> 00:03:02.438
Extraordinary. and that's exactly what he wants to do in our life.
00:03:02.505 --> 00:03:03.573
And that's exactly what he wants to do in our life. when he touches us,
00:03:03.640 --> 00:03:04.707
He wants to do in our life. when he touches us, we go from ordinary
00:03:04.774 --> 00:03:05.908
When he touches us, we go from ordinary to extraordinary.
00:03:05.975 --> 00:03:07.877
We go from ordinary to extraordinary. but there is
00:03:07.944 --> 00:03:09.212
To extraordinary. but there is something deeper here.
00:03:09.279 --> 00:03:10.346
But there is something deeper here. the question is
00:03:10.413 --> 00:03:11.347
Something deeper here. the question is why is the first miracle --
00:03:11.414 --> 00:03:13.116
The question is why is the first miracle -- of all the miracles
00:03:13.182 --> 00:03:14.284
Why is the first miracle -- of all the miracles that he could have performed,
00:03:14.350 --> 00:03:15.451
Of all the miracles that he could have performed, why is the first miracle
00:03:15.518 --> 00:03:16.586
That he could have performed, why is the first miracle turning water into wine?
00:03:16.653 --> 00:03:17.720
Why is the first miracle turning water into wine? well, think about it
00:03:17.787 --> 00:03:18.821
Turning water into wine? well, think about it for a moment.
00:03:18.888 --> 00:03:20.056
Well, think about it for a moment. one of the things
00:03:20.123 --> 00:03:21.190
For a moment. one of the things that the bible
00:03:21.257 --> 00:03:22.358
One of the things that the bible and the book of john,
00:03:22.425 --> 00:03:23.526
That the bible and the book of john, in particular,
00:03:23.593 --> 00:03:24.527
And the book of john, in particular, are trying to do
00:03:24.594 --> 00:03:25.662
In particular, are trying to do is to show jesus
00:03:25.728 --> 00:03:26.896
Are trying to do is to show jesus as the greater than moses.
00:03:26.963 --> 00:03:28.031
Is to show jesus as the greater than moses. so the bible says
00:03:28.097 --> 00:03:29.165
As the greater than moses. so the bible says deuteronomy 18:18,
00:03:29.232 --> 00:03:30.300
So the bible says deuteronomy 18:18, a messianic prophecy:
00:03:30.366 --> 00:03:31.434
Deuteronomy 18:18, a messianic prophecy: i'll raise up a prophet
00:03:31.501 --> 00:03:32.635
A messianic prophecy: i'll raise up a prophet like moses from your midst.
00:03:32.702 --> 00:03:33.770
I'll raise up a prophet like moses from your midst. what is the first miracle
00:03:33.836 --> 00:03:35.204
Like moses from your midst. what is the first miracle moses does
00:03:35.271 --> 00:03:37.373
What is the first miracle moses does when he comes to redeem
00:03:37.440 --> 00:03:38.574
Moses does when he comes to redeem the children of israel
00:03:38.641 --> 00:03:39.776
When he comes to redeem the children of israel out of egypt?
00:03:39.842 --> 00:03:40.943
The children of israel out of egypt? he turns the water into blood.
00:03:41.010 --> 00:03:41.978
Out of egypt? he turns the water into blood. but jesus doesn't come
00:03:42.045 --> 00:03:43.046
He turns the water into blood. but jesus doesn't come to bring death
00:03:43.112 --> 00:03:44.180
But jesus doesn't come to bring death he comes to bring life
00:03:44.247 --> 00:03:45.281
To bring death he comes to bring life that we might have it
00:03:45.348 --> 00:03:46.549
He comes to bring life that we might have it more abundantly.
00:03:46.616 --> 00:03:47.650
So he turns the water
00:03:47.750 --> 00:03:48.885
"fill it to the brim."
00:03:50.086 --> 00:03:51.220
"fill it to the brim." saying i'm the greater
00:03:51.287 --> 00:03:52.522
Saying i'm the greater than moses,
00:03:52.588 --> 00:03:53.690
Than moses, i'm the promise of the messiah
00:03:53.756 --> 00:03:54.824
I'm the promise of the messiah who comes to bring
00:03:54.891 --> 00:03:56.192
Who comes to bring
00:03:57.527 --> 00:03:58.661
Who comes to bring the overflow in your life.
00:03:58.728 --> 00:04:01.064
Who comes to bring the overflow in your life. even there in john,
00:04:01.130 --> 00:04:02.365
The overflow in your life. even there in john, you think about why wine?
00:04:02.432 --> 00:04:03.666
Even there in john, you think about why wine? wine is in the bible
00:04:03.733 --> 00:04:06.402
You think about why wine? wine is in the bible one of the greatest pictures
00:04:06.469 --> 00:04:08.271
Wine is in the bible one of the greatest pictures of the messianic kingdom.
00:04:08.338 --> 00:04:09.839
One of the greatest pictures of the messianic kingdom. genesis 49, jacob blesses
00:04:09.906 --> 00:04:12.875
Of the messianic kingdom. genesis 49, jacob blesses his children, one of
00:04:12.942 --> 00:04:14.143
Genesis 49, jacob blesses his children, one of the key messianic prophecies,
00:04:14.210 --> 00:04:15.545
His children, one of the key messianic prophecies, "the scepter shall not depart
00:04:15.611 --> 00:04:16.979
The key messianic prophecies, "the scepter shall not depart from judah.
00:04:17.046 --> 00:04:18.081
"the scepter shall not depart from judah. no other rule or staff
00:04:18.147 --> 00:04:19.349
From judah. no other rule or staff between his feet
00:04:19.415 --> 00:04:20.717
No other rule or staff between his feet until shiloh comes,"
00:04:20.783 --> 00:04:21.718
Between his feet until shiloh comes," which means
00:04:21.784 --> 00:04:22.852
Until shiloh comes," which means until the messiah comes.
00:04:22.919 --> 00:04:23.920
Which means until the messiah comes. "to him will be
00:04:23.986 --> 00:04:25.088
Until the messiah comes. "to him will be the obedience of the nations.
00:04:25.154 --> 00:04:26.255
"to him will be the obedience of the nations. they'll tie the donkey
00:04:26.322 --> 00:04:27.357
The obedience of the nations. they'll tie the donkey to the choicest grapevine,
00:04:27.423 --> 00:04:28.791
They'll tie the donkey to the choicest grapevine, they'll wash their garments
00:04:28.858 --> 00:04:30.827
To the choicest grapevine, they'll wash their garments in the blood of grapes."
00:04:30.893 --> 00:04:32.395
They'll wash their garments in the blood of grapes." that wine is going to be
00:04:32.462 --> 00:04:34.230
In the blood of grapes." that wine is going to be so abundant in the kingdom,
00:04:34.297 --> 00:04:36.099
That wine is going to be so abundant in the kingdom, it's going to be like water.
00:04:36.165 --> 00:04:37.667
So abundant in the kingdom, it's going to be like water. you're going to be able
00:04:37.734 --> 00:04:38.901
It's going to be like water. you're going to be able to wash your clothes in it.
00:04:38.968 --> 00:04:40.103
You're going to be able to wash your clothes in it. amos nine says:
00:04:40.169 --> 00:04:41.471
To wash your clothes in it. amos nine says: "the mountains will drip
00:04:41.537 --> 00:04:42.605
Amos nine says: "the mountains will drip with sweet wine."
00:04:42.672 --> 00:04:43.940
"the mountains will drip with sweet wine." every biblical occasion
00:04:44.006 --> 00:04:45.108
With sweet wine." every biblical occasion is celebrated with wine
00:04:45.174 --> 00:04:47.477
Every biblical occasion is celebrated with wine because wine is symbolic
00:04:47.543 --> 00:04:49.712
Is celebrated with wine because wine is symbolic of the messianic kingdom.
00:04:49.779 --> 00:04:51.080
Because wine is symbolic of the messianic kingdom. it goes through the crushing,
00:04:51.147 --> 00:04:52.315
Of the messianic kingdom. it goes through the crushing, it goes through the pressing,
00:04:52.382 --> 00:04:53.616
It goes through the crushing, it goes through the pressing, but then creates something
00:04:53.683 --> 00:04:54.984
It goes through the pressing, but then creates something so much better --
00:04:55.051 --> 00:04:56.285
But then creates something so much better -- and it only gets better
00:04:56.352 --> 00:04:57.553
So much better -- and it only gets better with time.
00:04:57.620 --> 00:04:58.988
And it only gets better with time. and that's what god
00:04:59.055 --> 00:05:00.223
With time. and that's what god wants to do in our lives.
00:05:00.289 --> 00:05:02.792
And that's what god wants to do in our lives. randy: you mentioned
00:05:02.859 --> 00:05:04.026
Wants to do in our lives. randy: you mentioned stone pots.
00:05:04.093 --> 00:05:05.261
Randy: you mentioned stone pots. is there a significance?
00:05:05.328 --> 00:05:06.429
There are a number of things.
00:05:07.697 --> 00:05:08.898
There are a number of things. one, he does the miracle
00:05:08.965 --> 00:05:10.133
One, he does the miracle with six stone pots.
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:12.735
With six stone pots. what's interesting also,
00:05:12.802 --> 00:05:14.103
What's interesting also, there's a little detail
00:05:14.170 --> 00:05:15.605
Where he turns the water
00:05:17.273 --> 00:05:18.674
Where he turns the water into blood,
00:05:18.741 --> 00:05:19.942
Where he turns the water into blood, which says even the water
00:05:20.009 --> 00:05:21.210
Into blood, which says even the water in the stone basins
00:05:21.277 --> 00:05:22.345
Which says even the water in the stone basins of the egyptians
00:05:22.412 --> 00:05:23.613
In the stone basins of the egyptians turned to blood.
00:05:23.679 --> 00:05:24.847
Of the egyptians turned to blood. so here he's using stone pots.
00:05:24.914 --> 00:05:26.082
Turned to blood. so here he's using stone pots. but the more important thing
00:05:26.149 --> 00:05:27.283
So here he's using stone pots. but the more important thing is the number six.
00:05:27.350 --> 00:05:28.584
But the more important thing is the number six. if there is a detail
00:05:28.651 --> 00:05:29.786
Is the number six. if there is a detail in the bible,
00:05:29.852 --> 00:05:30.953
If there is a detail in the bible, it's there for a reason.
00:05:31.020 --> 00:05:32.288
In the bible, it's there for a reason. god does not waste words.
00:05:32.355 --> 00:05:33.456
It's there for a reason. god does not waste words. if there is a detail
00:05:33.523 --> 00:05:34.657
God does not waste words. if there is a detail in inspired scripture,
00:05:34.724 --> 00:05:35.892
If there is a detail in inspired scripture, it's there for a reason.
00:05:35.958 --> 00:05:37.260
In inspired scripture, it's there for a reason. so think about it
00:05:37.326 --> 00:05:38.728
It's there for a reason. so think about it for a moment.
00:05:38.795 --> 00:05:39.896
So think about it for a moment. why six stone pots?
00:05:39.962 --> 00:05:41.431
For a moment. why six stone pots? man was created
00:05:41.497 --> 00:05:42.565
Why six stone pots? man was created on the sixth day.
00:05:42.632 --> 00:05:43.833
Man was created on the sixth day. in jewish thought,
00:05:43.900 --> 00:05:45.001
On the sixth day. in jewish thought, he fell on the sixth day.
00:05:45.067 --> 00:05:47.637
In jewish thought, he fell on the sixth day. so when the messiah comes
00:05:47.703 --> 00:05:50.573
He fell on the sixth day. so when the messiah comes he comes to restore everything
00:05:50.640 --> 00:05:52.408
So when the messiah comes he comes to restore everything that is lost.
00:05:52.475 --> 00:05:53.810
He comes to restore everything that is lost. so he does the miracle
00:05:53.876 --> 00:05:55.945
That is lost. so he does the miracle of the water into wine
00:05:56.012 --> 00:05:57.246
So he does the miracle of the water into wine with six stone pots;
00:05:57.313 --> 00:05:58.548
Of the water into wine with six stone pots; he is restoring
00:05:58.614 --> 00:05:59.782
With six stone pots; he is restoring the fruitfulness
00:05:59.849 --> 00:06:01.117
He is restoring the fruitfulness of the garden of eden
00:06:01.184 --> 00:06:02.351
The fruitfulness of the garden of eden that was lost
00:06:02.418 --> 00:06:03.553
Of the garden of eden that was lost in the beginning.
00:06:03.619 --> 00:06:04.821
That was lost in the beginning. the rabbis say
00:06:04.887 --> 00:06:06.189
In the beginning. the rabbis say in the messianic kingdom
00:06:06.255 --> 00:06:07.557
The rabbis say in the messianic kingdom we're going to drink the wine
00:06:07.623 --> 00:06:08.758
In the messianic kingdom we're going to drink the wine at the marriage supper
00:06:08.825 --> 00:06:09.992
We're going to drink the wine at the marriage supper of the lamb
00:06:10.059 --> 00:06:11.127
At the marriage supper of the lamb that was reserved for us
00:06:11.194 --> 00:06:12.395
Of the lamb that was reserved for us from the six days of creation.
00:06:12.462 --> 00:06:13.696
That was reserved for us from the six days of creation. as an aside,
00:06:13.763 --> 00:06:14.897
From the six days of creation. as an aside, he does the miracle
00:06:14.964 --> 00:06:15.965
As an aside, he does the miracle at a wedding. why?
00:06:16.032 --> 00:06:17.166
He does the miracle at a wedding. why? because it's a sneak preview
00:06:17.233 --> 00:06:18.367
At a wedding. why? because it's a sneak preview of the marriage supper
00:06:18.434 --> 00:06:19.502
Because it's a sneak preview of the marriage supper of the lamb,
00:06:19.569 --> 00:06:20.603
Of the marriage supper of the lamb, the wedding of the bride
00:06:20.670 --> 00:06:21.838
Of the lamb, the wedding of the bride to jesus the bridegroom.
00:06:21.904 --> 00:06:22.972
The wedding of the bride to jesus the bridegroom. in heaven,
00:06:23.039 --> 00:06:24.207
To jesus the bridegroom. in heaven, there is a lot more depth
00:06:24.273 --> 00:06:25.308
In heaven, there is a lot more depth there that we could go into.
00:06:25.374 --> 00:06:26.609
There is a lot more depth there that we could go into. but think about it.
00:06:26.676 --> 00:06:27.810
There that we could go into. but think about it. when jesus dies,
00:06:27.877 --> 00:06:29.045
But think about it. when jesus dies, he dies on good friday,
00:06:29.111 --> 00:06:32.482
When jesus dies, he dies on good friday, which is what day of the week
00:06:32.548 --> 00:06:33.816
He dies on good friday, which is what day of the week on the biblical calendar?
00:06:33.883 --> 00:06:35.318
Which is what day of the week on the biblical calendar? the sixth day.
00:06:35.384 --> 00:06:36.586
On the biblical calendar? the sixth day. he dies on the sixth day.
00:06:36.652 --> 00:06:38.154
The sixth day. he dies on the sixth day. he does the miracle
00:06:38.221 --> 00:06:39.722
He dies on the sixth day. he does the miracle on the sixth day
00:06:39.789 --> 00:06:41.290
He does the miracle on the sixth day because six in the bible
00:06:41.357 --> 00:06:42.725
On the sixth day because six in the bible is a number of correction.
00:06:42.792 --> 00:06:44.193
Because six in the bible is a number of correction. when we sin
00:06:44.260 --> 00:06:45.761
Is a number of correction. when we sin we broke the connection
00:06:45.828 --> 00:06:47.263
When we sin we broke the connection between heaven and earth.
00:06:47.330 --> 00:06:49.031
We broke the connection between heaven and earth. when he comes,
00:06:49.098 --> 00:06:50.266
Between heaven and earth. when he comes, he comes to restore
00:06:50.333 --> 00:06:51.467
When he comes, he comes to restore the connection
00:06:51.534 --> 00:06:52.735
He comes to restore the connection between heaven and earth.
00:06:52.802 --> 00:06:53.970
The connection between heaven and earth. when that connection
00:06:54.036 --> 00:06:55.171
Between heaven and earth. when that connection is restored,
00:06:55.238 --> 00:06:56.239
When that connection is restored, it leads to fruitfulness,
00:06:56.305 --> 00:06:57.974
Is restored, it leads to fruitfulness, it leads to overflow,
00:06:58.040 --> 00:06:59.709
It leads to fruitfulness, it leads to overflow, it leads to blessing,
00:06:59.775 --> 00:07:01.177
It leads to overflow, it leads to blessing, it leads to the abundant life.
00:07:01.244 --> 00:07:03.212
It leads to blessing, it leads to the abundant life. tammy: i'm sitting here going,
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:04.347
Like i've been
00:07:05.848 --> 00:07:07.817
Like i've been a follower of christ
00:07:07.884 --> 00:07:09.085
A follower of christ my whole life
00:07:09.151 --> 00:07:10.119
My whole life but when i sit here in your
00:07:10.186 --> 00:07:11.287
But when i sit here in your presence i feel like --
00:07:11.354 --> 00:07:12.455
Presence i feel like -- like there is
00:07:12.522 --> 00:07:13.823
Like there is so much to unpack
00:07:13.890 --> 00:07:15.057
Any clue about.
00:07:16.559 --> 00:07:18.461
Any clue about. and it makes me kind of weepy
00:07:18.528 --> 00:07:20.196
Any clue about. and it makes me kind of weepy because i think
00:07:20.263 --> 00:07:21.631
And it makes me kind of weepy because i think there is so much to know
00:07:21.697 --> 00:07:22.932
Because i think there is so much to know about messiah.
00:07:22.999 --> 00:07:25.001
There is so much to know about messiah. but i feel overwhelmed
00:07:25.067 --> 00:07:26.135
About messiah. but i feel overwhelmed when i listen to this.
00:07:26.202 --> 00:07:27.303
But i feel overwhelmed when i listen to this. i don't know if anybody else
00:07:27.370 --> 00:07:28.471
Randy: it is because
00:07:29.805 --> 00:07:30.973
Randy: it is because i think
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:32.308
I think we're 2,000 years later,
00:07:32.375 --> 00:07:33.643
We're 2,000 years later, we're gentiles, you know?
00:07:33.709 --> 00:07:36.579
We're gentiles, you know? we don't understand
00:07:36.646 --> 00:07:37.914
Did the israelites,
00:07:39.382 --> 00:07:40.449
Did the israelites, the jews of the day,
00:07:40.516 --> 00:07:42.518
Did the israelites, the jews of the day, did they see
00:07:42.585 --> 00:07:43.586
The jews of the day, did they see all the significance in this?
00:07:43.653 --> 00:07:44.720
Did they see all the significance in this? jason: yeah.
00:07:44.787 --> 00:07:45.755
All the significance in this? jason: yeah. i think they saw
00:07:45.821 --> 00:07:46.889
Jason: yeah. i think they saw a lot of the significance.
00:07:46.956 --> 00:07:47.957
I think they saw a lot of the significance. for example,
00:07:48.024 --> 00:07:48.991
A lot of the significance. for example, they would have understood
00:07:49.058 --> 00:07:50.126
For example, they would have understood the number six.
00:07:50.192 --> 00:07:51.527
They would have understood the number six. and they would have understood
00:07:51.594 --> 00:07:52.628
The number six. and they would have understood that he did the miracle
00:07:52.695 --> 00:07:53.763
And they would have understood that he did the miracle on the third day.
00:07:53.829 --> 00:07:54.897
That he did the miracle on the third day. why is that important?
00:07:54.964 --> 00:07:56.032
On the third day. why is that important? because jewish weddings
00:07:56.098 --> 00:07:57.166
Why is that important? because jewish weddings typically take place
00:07:57.233 --> 00:07:58.367
Because jewish weddings typically take place on the third day.
00:07:58.434 --> 00:07:59.535
Typically take place on the third day. because it is the day --
00:07:59.602 --> 00:08:00.903
On the third day. because it is the day -- it is the only day in creation
00:08:00.970 --> 00:08:02.104
Because it is the day -- it is the only day in creation that god blesses twice.
00:08:02.171 --> 00:08:04.106
It is the only day in creation that god blesses twice. the third day is the day
00:08:04.173 --> 00:08:06.409
That god blesses twice. the third day is the day that abraham offers isaac.
00:08:06.475 --> 00:08:09.345
The third day is the day that abraham offers isaac. and he looked up, genesis 22,
00:08:09.412 --> 00:08:11.280
That abraham offers isaac. and he looked up, genesis 22, on the third day
00:08:11.347 --> 00:08:12.748
And he looked up, genesis 22, on the third day and saw the mountain
00:08:12.815 --> 00:08:14.116
On the third day and saw the mountain from a distance.
00:08:14.183 --> 00:08:15.885
That isaac comes off the altar
00:08:17.186 --> 00:08:19.622
That isaac comes off the altar and the lamb was offered
00:08:19.689 --> 00:08:20.957
And the lamb was offered in his place.
00:08:21.023 --> 00:08:22.158
In his place. so it is pointing to jesus
00:08:22.224 --> 00:08:23.492
So it is pointing to jesus as the fulfillment
00:08:23.559 --> 00:08:24.660
"take your son,
00:08:27.296 --> 00:08:28.264
"take your son, your only begotten son,"
00:08:28.331 --> 00:08:29.465
"take your son, your only begotten son," with the story
00:08:29.532 --> 00:08:30.766
Your only begotten son," with the story of the binding of isaac.
00:08:30.833 --> 00:08:32.101
With the story of the binding of isaac. the third day is the day
00:08:32.168 --> 00:08:34.637
Of the binding of isaac. the third day is the day that god comes down
00:08:34.704 --> 00:08:35.972
The third day is the day that god comes down on mount sinai
00:08:36.038 --> 00:08:37.239
That god comes down on mount sinai and reveals his glory
00:08:37.306 --> 00:08:38.941
On mount sinai and reveals his glory to the people.
00:08:39.008 --> 00:08:41.344
And reveals his glory to the people. and john says,
00:08:41.410 --> 00:08:43.112
To the people. and john says, by this first miracle
00:08:43.179 --> 00:08:44.380
And john says, by this first miracle that happened
00:08:44.447 --> 00:08:45.481
By this first miracle that happened on the third day,
00:08:45.548 --> 00:08:46.616
That happened on the third day, the book of john tells us,
00:08:46.682 --> 00:08:47.717
On the third day, the book of john tells us, jesus revealed his glory --
00:08:47.783 --> 00:08:48.818
The book of john tells us, jesus revealed his glory -- a greater glory
00:08:48.884 --> 00:08:49.885
Jesus revealed his glory -- a greater glory than was revealed
00:08:49.952 --> 00:08:51.053
A greater glory than was revealed on mount sinai.
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:52.154
Than was revealed on mount sinai. and so, i think
00:08:52.221 --> 00:08:53.289
On mount sinai. and so, i think jews would read that
00:08:53.356 --> 00:08:54.423
And so, i think jews would read that and they would
00:08:54.490 --> 00:08:55.491
Jews would read that and they would understand that.
00:08:55.558 --> 00:08:56.592
And they would understand that. they would see it
00:08:56.659 --> 00:08:57.893
Understand that. they would see it in the details.
00:08:57.960 --> 00:08:59.095
They would see it in the details. but this is also
00:08:59.161 --> 00:09:00.096
In the details. but this is also what jesus was doing
00:09:00.162 --> 00:09:01.197
But this is also what jesus was doing on the road to emmaus.
00:09:01.263 --> 00:09:02.431
What jesus was doing on the road to emmaus. he was opening the scriptures
00:09:02.498 --> 00:09:03.532
On the road to emmaus. he was opening the scriptures and showing
00:09:03.599 --> 00:09:04.700
He was opening the scriptures and showing how everything in the torah,
00:09:04.767 --> 00:09:05.835
And showing how everything in the torah, the law, the writings,
00:09:05.901 --> 00:09:06.869
How everything in the torah, the law, the writings, and the prophets point to him.
00:09:06.936 --> 00:09:08.704
The law, the writings, and the prophets point to him. i think when we talk
00:09:08.771 --> 00:09:09.872
And the prophets point to him. i think when we talk about secrets
00:09:09.939 --> 00:09:11.007
I think when we talk about secrets i think this is kind of
00:09:11.073 --> 00:09:12.108
About secrets i think this is kind of what we're talking about.
00:09:12.174 --> 00:09:13.242
I think this is kind of what we're talking about. it says in the scriptures
00:09:13.309 --> 00:09:14.377
What we're talking about. it says in the scriptures it is god's prerogative
00:09:14.443 --> 00:09:16.245
It says in the scriptures it is god's prerogative to conceal a matter
00:09:16.312 --> 00:09:18.047
It is god's prerogative to conceal a matter but it is the glory of kings
00:09:18.114 --> 00:09:19.248
To conceal a matter but it is the glory of kings to search it out.
00:09:19.315 --> 00:09:20.516
But it is the glory of kings to search it out. i think when we --
00:09:20.583 --> 00:09:22.284
To search it out. i think when we -- part of our royal identity
00:09:22.351 --> 00:09:23.886
I think when we -- part of our royal identity as sons and daughters
00:09:23.953 --> 00:09:25.554
Part of our royal identity as sons and daughters is to seek out
00:09:25.621 --> 00:09:27.189
As sons and daughters is to seek out the deeper things of scripture
00:09:27.256 --> 00:09:29.191
Is to seek out the deeper things of scripture because scripture
00:09:29.258 --> 00:09:30.860
The deeper things of scripture because scripture is like the ocean.
00:09:30.926 --> 00:09:32.261
Because scripture is like the ocean. it is so shallow
00:09:32.328 --> 00:09:33.529
Is like the ocean. it is so shallow that a child can enjoy it
00:09:33.596 --> 00:09:35.097
It is so shallow that a child can enjoy it but it is so deep
00:09:35.164 --> 00:09:36.432
That a child can enjoy it but it is so deep you can never go
00:09:36.499 --> 00:09:37.667
But it is so deep you can never go to the depths of it.
00:09:37.733 --> 00:09:38.701
You can never go to the depths of it. that's the beauty
00:09:38.768 --> 00:09:39.902
To the depths of it. that's the beauty of god's word.
00:09:39.969 --> 00:09:40.936
That's the beauty of god's word. that's the reason
00:09:41.003 --> 00:09:42.071
Of god's word. that's the reason why it's never boring
00:09:42.138 --> 00:09:43.105
That's the reason why it's never boring to go to the scripture
00:09:43.172 --> 00:09:44.206
Why it's never boring to go to the scripture because there is
00:09:44.273 --> 00:09:45.307
To go to the scripture because there is always something more
00:09:45.374 --> 00:09:46.375
Because there is always something more that god wants to show us
00:09:46.442 --> 00:09:47.476
Always something more that god wants to show us or something more
00:09:47.543 --> 00:09:48.577
That god wants to show us or something more god wants to say
00:09:48.644 --> 00:09:49.779
Or something more god wants to say that speaks to our life
00:09:49.845 --> 00:09:50.846
God wants to say that speaks to our life and our situation.
00:09:50.913 --> 00:09:51.847
That speaks to our life and our situation. randy: so you mentioned
00:09:51.914 --> 00:09:52.915
And our situation. randy: so you mentioned the third day,
00:09:52.982 --> 00:09:54.083
Randy: so you mentioned the third day, and i think most of us today,
00:09:54.150 --> 00:09:55.117
The third day, and i think most of us today, we think okay,
00:09:55.184 --> 00:09:56.185
And i think most of us today, we think okay, that's the resurrection.
00:09:56.252 --> 00:09:57.286
We think okay, that's the resurrection. jason: of course, that too.
00:09:57.353 --> 00:09:58.354
Randy: so in doing this
00:09:58.454 --> 00:10:00.489
Jason: absolutely! absolutely!
00:10:02.692 --> 00:10:03.826
Jason: absolutely! absolutely! because there is
00:10:03.893 --> 00:10:04.927
Because there is another messianic prophecy
00:10:04.994 --> 00:10:06.062
It says:
00:10:07.530 --> 00:10:08.964
It says: "two days he has torn us.
00:10:09.031 --> 00:10:10.599
It says: "two days he has torn us. but on the third day,
00:10:10.666 --> 00:10:11.934
"two days he has torn us. but on the third day, he will heal us
00:10:12.001 --> 00:10:13.135
But on the third day, he will heal us and restore us to life."
00:10:13.202 --> 00:10:15.071
He will heal us and restore us to life." so the third day
00:10:15.137 --> 00:10:16.405
And restore us to life." so the third day is a day of restoration.
00:10:16.472 --> 00:10:17.840
So the third day is a day of restoration. he's restoring what was lost
00:10:17.907 --> 00:10:20.776
Is a day of restoration. he's restoring what was lost in the garden of eden.
00:10:20.843 --> 00:10:22.111
He's restoring what was lost in the garden of eden. he was restoring the blessing.
00:10:22.178 --> 00:10:24.146
In the garden of eden. he was restoring the blessing. it is the day of resurrection.
00:10:24.213 --> 00:10:25.848
He was restoring the blessing. it is the day of resurrection. isaac comes off the altar,
00:10:25.915 --> 00:10:28.150
It is the day of resurrection. isaac comes off the altar, in a sense
00:10:28.217 --> 00:10:29.585
Isaac comes off the altar, in a sense figuratively speaking,
00:10:29.652 --> 00:10:30.853
In a sense figuratively speaking, hebrews tells us,
00:10:30.920 --> 00:10:32.321
Figuratively speaking, hebrews tells us, like he figuratively
00:10:32.388 --> 00:10:33.556
Hebrews tells us, like he figuratively received him
00:10:33.622 --> 00:10:34.790
Like he figuratively received him back from the dead
00:10:34.857 --> 00:10:36.092
Received him back from the dead on the third day.
00:10:36.158 --> 00:10:37.326
Back from the dead on the third day. and obviously,
00:10:37.393 --> 00:10:38.627
On the third day. and obviously, jesus rises on the third day.
00:10:38.694 --> 00:10:39.895
And obviously, jesus rises on the third day. so these things
00:10:39.962 --> 00:10:40.996
Jesus rises on the third day. so these things are all a sneak preview
00:10:41.063 --> 00:10:42.364
So these things are all a sneak preview of ultimately,
00:10:42.431 --> 00:10:44.266
Are all a sneak preview of ultimately, his death and resurrection
00:10:44.333 --> 00:10:45.935
Of ultimately, his death and resurrection and ultimately,
00:10:46.001 --> 00:10:47.636
His death and resurrection and ultimately, the kingdom of god
00:10:47.703 --> 00:10:48.804
And ultimately, the kingdom of god and the marriage supper
00:10:48.871 --> 00:10:49.905
The kingdom of god and the marriage supper of the lamb
00:10:49.972 --> 00:10:51.006
And the marriage supper of the lamb and all these things that
00:10:51.073 --> 00:10:52.074
Of the lamb and all these things that we have to look forward to.
00:10:52.141 --> 00:10:53.209
And all these things that we have to look forward to. and there is a promise
00:10:53.275 --> 00:10:54.310
We have to look forward to. and there is a promise in all these miracles, right?
00:10:54.376 --> 00:10:55.611
And there is a promise in all these miracles, right? these are not just things
00:10:55.678 --> 00:10:56.912
In all these miracles, right? these are not just things that god has done in the past.
00:10:56.979 --> 00:10:59.749
These are not just things that god has done in the past. but what god does in the past
00:10:59.815 --> 00:11:02.184
That god has done in the past. but what god does in the past is what he wants to do for us
00:11:02.251 --> 00:11:04.286
But what god does in the past is what he wants to do for us in the present.
00:11:04.353 --> 00:11:05.454
Is what he wants to do for us in the present. so it is interesting.
00:11:05.521 --> 00:11:06.655
In the present. so it is interesting. the miracles
00:11:06.722 --> 00:11:07.757
So it is interesting. the miracles in the new testament
00:11:07.823 --> 00:11:08.891
The miracles in the new testament are not called miracles
00:11:08.958 --> 00:11:10.059
In the new testament are not called miracles in the book of john,
00:11:10.126 --> 00:11:11.227
Are not called miracles in the book of john, they're called signs.
00:11:11.293 --> 00:11:12.294
In the book of john, they're called signs. that's why the book
00:11:12.361 --> 00:11:13.562
They're called signs. that's why the book is signs and secrets
00:11:13.629 --> 00:11:14.730
That's why the book is signs and secrets because he did these signs.
00:11:14.797 --> 00:11:16.031
Is signs and secrets because he did these signs. but these signs
00:11:16.098 --> 00:11:17.199
Because he did these signs. but these signs were meant to be a testimony,
00:11:17.266 --> 00:11:19.101
But these signs were meant to be a testimony, which interesting,
00:11:19.168 --> 00:11:20.770
Were meant to be a testimony, which interesting, is that the hebrew word
00:11:20.836 --> 00:11:22.138
Which interesting, is that the hebrew word for testimony
00:11:22.204 --> 00:11:23.239
Is that the hebrew word for testimony is the word edut
00:11:23.305 --> 00:11:25.007
Ayin and dalet .
00:11:27.176 --> 00:11:29.678
Ayin and dalet . so the root word for testimony
00:11:29.745 --> 00:11:31.747
So the root word for testimony or witness, ed ,
00:11:31.814 --> 00:11:33.616
Which means again.
00:11:36.418 --> 00:11:37.586
Which means again. what's the point?
00:11:37.653 --> 00:11:38.888
Which means again. what's the point? a testimony is something
00:11:38.954 --> 00:11:39.955
What's the point? a testimony is something that god wants to do
00:11:40.022 --> 00:11:40.956
A testimony is something that god wants to do again and again and again
00:11:41.023 --> 00:11:43.259
That god wants to do again and again and again in our life.
00:11:43.325 --> 00:11:44.727
Again and again and again in our life. so these things are written,
00:11:44.794 --> 00:11:45.861
In our life. so these things are written, these miracles are written,
00:11:45.928 --> 00:11:46.862
So these things are written, these miracles are written, these miracles were given
00:11:46.929 --> 00:11:48.030
These miracles are written, these miracles were given because god is saying,
00:11:48.097 --> 00:11:49.165
These miracles were given because god is saying, what i did for them,
00:11:49.231 --> 00:11:50.332
Because god is saying, what i did for them, i want to do for you
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:52.034
What i did for them, i want to do for you because i'm the same
00:11:52.101 --> 00:11:53.135
I want to do for you because i'm the same yesterday, today, and forever.
00:11:53.202 --> 00:11:54.570
Because i'm the same yesterday, today, and forever. and so this first miracle
00:11:54.637 --> 00:11:55.938
Yesterday, today, and forever. and so this first miracle that we're talking about,
00:11:56.005 --> 00:11:57.072
And so this first miracle that we're talking about, this miracle of transformation
00:11:57.139 --> 00:11:58.908
That we're talking about, this miracle of transformation of ordinary to extraordinary
00:11:58.974 --> 00:12:02.011
This miracle of transformation of ordinary to extraordinary of new creation,
00:12:02.077 --> 00:12:03.679
Of ordinary to extraordinary of new creation, that's what god wants to do
00:12:03.746 --> 00:12:05.414
Of new creation, that's what god wants to do in our life,
00:12:05.481 --> 00:12:06.582
That's what god wants to do in our life, that's the promise.
00:12:06.649 --> 00:12:07.750
In our life, that's the promise. the old has passed away
00:12:07.817 --> 00:12:09.018
That's the promise. the old has passed away and the new has come
00:12:09.084 --> 00:12:10.386
The old has passed away and the new has come and in him
00:12:10.452 --> 00:12:11.720
Randy: i'm curious
00:12:13.522 --> 00:12:14.523
Randy: i'm curious about the whole
00:12:14.590 --> 00:12:16.826
About the whole cast your net over here,
00:12:16.892 --> 00:12:18.561
Cast your net over here, not over here.
00:12:18.627 --> 00:12:20.462
Not over here. i mean,
00:12:20.529 --> 00:12:21.797
That's kind of funny.
00:12:23.966 --> 00:12:26.268
That's kind of funny. there's got to be more
00:12:26.335 --> 00:12:27.536
That's kind of funny. there's got to be more going on there
00:12:27.603 --> 00:12:28.671
There's got to be more going on there than i understand.
00:12:28.737 --> 00:12:29.805
Going on there than i understand. jason: yeah!
00:12:29.872 --> 00:12:31.106
Than i understand. jason: yeah! there is more to the story.
00:12:31.173 --> 00:12:32.174
Jason: yeah! there is more to the story. there is something.
00:12:32.241 --> 00:12:33.375
There is more to the story. there is something. so john 21,
00:12:33.442 --> 00:12:34.610
There is something. so john 21, the disciples are fishing
00:12:34.677 --> 00:12:35.744
So john 21, the disciples are fishing all night.
00:12:35.811 --> 00:12:36.846
The disciples are fishing all night. we talk about this
00:12:36.912 --> 00:12:38.113
All night. we talk about this in signs and secrets ,
00:12:38.180 --> 00:12:39.215
We talk about this in signs and secrets , and they catch nothing.
00:12:39.281 --> 00:12:40.482
In signs and secrets , and they catch nothing. so the first thing is,
00:12:40.549 --> 00:12:42.751
And they catch nothing. so the first thing is, why did they catch nothing?
00:12:42.818 --> 00:12:44.920
So the first thing is, why did they catch nothing? the interesting thing is that
00:12:44.987 --> 00:12:46.755
Why did they catch nothing? the interesting thing is that the word for fish
00:12:46.822 --> 00:12:47.990
The interesting thing is that the word for fish in hebrew, dag ,
00:12:48.057 --> 00:12:50.226
The word for fish in hebrew, dag , has the same root as the word
00:12:50.292 --> 00:12:52.862
In hebrew, dag , has the same root as the word for worry, fear, and anxiety.
00:12:52.928 --> 00:12:55.798
Has the same root as the word for worry, fear, and anxiety. when you fish from a place
00:12:55.865 --> 00:12:57.099
For worry, fear, and anxiety. when you fish from a place of worry, fear, and anxiety,
00:12:57.166 --> 00:12:58.601
When you fish from a place of worry, fear, and anxiety, when you live
00:12:58.667 --> 00:12:59.735
Of worry, fear, and anxiety, when you live from a place of fear,
00:12:59.802 --> 00:13:00.970
When you live from a place of fear, your nets are going
00:13:01.036 --> 00:13:02.304
From a place of fear, your nets are going to be left to you empty,
00:13:02.371 --> 00:13:03.572
Your nets are going to be left to you empty, your relationships
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:04.740
To be left to you empty, your relationships are going to be empty.
00:13:04.807 --> 00:13:06.108
Your relationships are going to be empty. and so god doesn't want us
00:13:06.175 --> 00:13:07.476
Are going to be empty. and so god doesn't want us to live from a place of fear,
00:13:07.543 --> 00:13:09.578
And so god doesn't want us to live from a place of fear, he wants us to move
00:13:09.645 --> 00:13:10.880
To live from a place of fear, he wants us to move to a place of faith.
00:13:10.946 --> 00:13:12.114
He wants us to move to a place of faith. so the disciples,
00:13:12.181 --> 00:13:13.215
To a place of faith. so the disciples, think about it,
00:13:13.282 --> 00:13:14.383
So the disciples, think about it, peter says to the disciples,
00:13:14.450 --> 00:13:15.584
Think about it, peter says to the disciples, "let's go fishing."
00:13:15.651 --> 00:13:16.785
Peter says to the disciples, "let's go fishing." he had denied the lord.
00:13:16.852 --> 00:13:17.920
"let's go fishing." he had denied the lord. he probably thought
00:13:17.987 --> 00:13:19.255
He had denied the lord. he probably thought he was living from a place
00:13:19.321 --> 00:13:20.556
He probably thought he was living from a place of worry and anxiety.
00:13:20.623 --> 00:13:21.724
He was living from a place of worry and anxiety. certainly,
00:13:21.790 --> 00:13:22.958
Of worry and anxiety. certainly, i'm not going to be the rock.
00:13:23.025 --> 00:13:24.026
Certainly, i'm not going to be the rock. i'm not going to be
00:13:24.093 --> 00:13:25.294
I'm not going to be the rock. i'm not going to be the one the lord uses.
00:13:25.361 --> 00:13:26.428
I'm not going to be the one the lord uses. i just denied him three times.
00:13:26.495 --> 00:13:28.197
The one the lord uses. i just denied him three times. so i might as well go back
00:13:28.264 --> 00:13:29.632
I just denied him three times. so i might as well go back to my old profession,
00:13:29.698 --> 00:13:31.834
So i might as well go back to my old profession, what i know,
00:13:31.901 --> 00:13:33.135
To my old profession, what i know, what i've been good at
00:13:33.202 --> 00:13:34.336
What i know, what i've been good at in the past
00:13:34.403 --> 00:13:35.437
What i've been good at in the past because i'm done for. right?
00:13:35.504 --> 00:13:37.273
In the past because i'm done for. right? he's living
00:13:37.339 --> 00:13:38.440
Because i'm done for. right? he's living from a place of worry,
00:13:38.507 --> 00:13:39.608
He's living from a place of worry, fear, and anxiety.
00:13:39.675 --> 00:13:40.776
From a place of worry, fear, and anxiety. his nets are left empty.
00:13:40.843 --> 00:13:41.944
Fear, and anxiety. his nets are left empty. then yeshua says,
00:13:42.011 --> 00:13:43.913
His nets are left empty. then yeshua says, okay, the nets are empty
00:13:43.979 --> 00:13:45.247
Then yeshua says, okay, the nets are empty but then he says,
00:13:45.314 --> 00:13:46.482
Okay, the nets are empty but then he says, "cast the nets
00:13:46.548 --> 00:13:47.650
But then he says, "cast the nets on the right side
00:13:47.716 --> 00:13:48.817
"cast the nets on the right side of the boat."
00:13:48.884 --> 00:13:49.985
On the right side of the boat." so here's the point.
00:13:50.052 --> 00:13:51.854
Of the boat." so here's the point. from a jewish perspective,
00:13:51.921 --> 00:13:53.389
So here's the point. from a jewish perspective, if you're living from the left
00:13:53.455 --> 00:13:55.224
From a jewish perspective, if you're living from the left your nets are going
00:13:55.291 --> 00:13:56.292
If you're living from the left your nets are going to be left to you empty.
00:13:56.358 --> 00:13:57.393
Your nets are going to be left to you empty. it is not
00:13:57.459 --> 00:13:58.494
To be left to you empty. it is not a political statement.
00:13:58.560 --> 00:13:59.728
It is not a political statement. [laughing]
00:13:59.795 --> 00:14:00.829
A political statement. [laughing] randy: well, i would disagree.
00:14:00.896 --> 00:14:02.197
[laughing] randy: well, i would disagree. jason: so the place
00:14:02.264 --> 00:14:03.966
Randy: well, i would disagree. jason: so the place of the left
00:14:04.033 --> 00:14:05.200
Jason: so the place of the left is in jewish thought,
00:14:05.267 --> 00:14:06.302
Of the left is in jewish thought, the place of fire,
00:14:06.368 --> 00:14:08.404
Is in jewish thought, the place of fire, it is a place of severity.
00:14:08.470 --> 00:14:13.809
The place of fire, it is a place of severity. when you live from the left
00:14:13.876 --> 00:14:15.344
It is a place of severity. when you live from the left of severity and harshness
00:14:15.411 --> 00:14:17.646
When you live from the left of severity and harshness and fire,
00:14:17.713 --> 00:14:19.348
Of severity and harshness and fire, your nets are going
00:14:19.415 --> 00:14:20.616
And fire, your nets are going to be left to you empty.
00:14:20.683 --> 00:14:22.985
Your nets are going to be left to you empty. the right side
00:14:23.052 --> 00:14:24.253
To be left to you empty. the right side is the place of love.
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:26.322
The right side is the place of love. it is the side of checed ,
00:14:26.388 --> 00:14:27.723
Is the place of love. it is the side of checed , god's lovingkindness.
00:14:27.790 --> 00:14:29.458
It is the side of checed , god's lovingkindness. it is the side of water.
00:14:29.525 --> 00:14:31.226
God's lovingkindness. it is the side of water. it is the side of the word.
00:14:31.293 --> 00:14:33.562
That's when we experience
00:14:36.932 --> 00:14:39.068
That's when we experience the blessings of god
00:14:39.134 --> 00:14:40.336
The blessings of god in our lives.
00:14:40.402 --> 00:14:41.370
In our lives. and i believe we are
00:14:41.437 --> 00:14:42.604
And i believe we are in a john 21 moment.
00:14:42.671 --> 00:14:44.273
In a john 21 moment. i believe we're living
00:14:44.340 --> 00:14:45.541
Where the greatest catch
00:14:47.009 --> 00:14:48.110
Where the greatest catch the world has ever known
00:14:48.177 --> 00:14:49.378
Where the greatest catch the world has ever known is coming.
00:14:49.445 --> 00:14:50.612
The world has ever known is coming. but we need to live
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:52.181
Is coming. but we need to live from the right
00:14:52.247 --> 00:14:53.482
But we need to live from the right and not to the left.
00:14:53.549 --> 00:14:55.417
From the right and not to the left. god spoke to me
00:14:55.484 --> 00:14:57.586
And not to the left. god spoke to me supernaturally one time
00:14:57.653 --> 00:14:59.088
God spoke to me supernaturally one time and he said, jason,
00:14:59.154 --> 00:15:00.422
Supernaturally one time and he said, jason, the greatest revival
00:15:00.489 --> 00:15:01.623
And he said, jason, the greatest revival the world has ever known
00:15:01.690 --> 00:15:03.025
The greatest revival the world has ever known is coming.
00:15:03.092 --> 00:15:04.293
The world has ever known is coming. it is not rooted in fear
00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:06.295
Is coming. it is not rooted in fear but it is rooted in love.
00:15:06.362 --> 00:15:10.032
It is not rooted in fear but it is rooted in love. it is rooted in love
00:15:10.099 --> 00:15:11.633
But it is rooted in love. it is rooted in love and miracles of healing
00:15:11.700 --> 00:15:13.335
It is rooted in love and miracles of healing and wholeness
00:15:13.402 --> 00:15:14.503
And miracles of healing and wholeness that i want to do
00:15:14.570 --> 00:15:15.771
And wholeness that i want to do in people's lives.
00:15:15.838 --> 00:15:17.906
That i want to do in people's lives. so they cast the net
00:15:17.973 --> 00:15:19.108
In people's lives. so they cast the net on the right side of the boat.
00:15:19.174 --> 00:15:20.376
So they cast the net on the right side of the boat. the interesting thing is,
00:15:20.442 --> 00:15:22.177
On the right side of the boat. the interesting thing is, we said it is the side
00:15:22.244 --> 00:15:23.779
The interesting thing is, we said it is the side associated with water.
00:15:23.846 --> 00:15:25.748
We said it is the side associated with water. the right side
00:15:25.814 --> 00:15:26.915
Associated with water. the right side is associated with water.
00:15:26.982 --> 00:15:28.283
The right side is associated with water. water in hebrew
00:15:28.350 --> 00:15:29.418
Is associated with water. water in hebrew is the letter mayim .
00:15:29.485 --> 00:15:31.820
Water in hebrew is the letter mayim . the hebrew letter mayim has
00:15:31.887 --> 00:15:33.522
Is the letter mayim . the hebrew letter mayim has a numerical value of 13.
00:15:33.589 --> 00:15:35.557
The hebrew letter mayim has a numerical value of 13. so this miracle
00:15:35.624 --> 00:15:36.658
A numerical value of 13. so this miracle is connected to the number 13.
00:15:36.725 --> 00:15:37.893
So this miracle is connected to the number 13. why is that important?
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:40.062
Is connected to the number 13. why is that important? love in hebrew equals 13.
00:15:40.129 --> 00:15:43.465
Why is that important? love in hebrew equals 13. oneness ahavah ,
00:15:43.532 --> 00:15:45.200
Love in hebrew equals 13. oneness ahavah , love equals 13.
00:15:45.267 --> 00:15:46.568
Oneness ahavah , love equals 13. echad , to be one, equals 13.
00:15:46.668 --> 00:15:49.972
Love equals 13. echad , to be one, equals 13. how the great catch comes
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:52.408
Echad , to be one, equals 13. how the great catch comes is when we are united
00:15:52.474 --> 00:15:54.710
How the great catch comes is when we are united as one, 13,
00:15:54.777 --> 00:15:56.812
Is when we are united as one, 13, in love, 13.
00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:59.281
As one, 13, in love, 13. by our love and by their unity
00:15:59.348 --> 00:16:02.451
In love, 13. by our love and by their unity that's how the world
00:16:02.518 --> 00:16:03.952
By our love and by their unity that's how the world will know us.
00:16:04.019 --> 00:16:05.220
That's how the world will know us. it ties back to john 17.
00:16:05.287 --> 00:16:06.488
Will know us. it ties back to john 17. he prays that these
00:16:06.555 --> 00:16:07.689
It ties back to john 17. he prays that these and those will be one
00:16:07.756 --> 00:16:08.857
He prays that these and those will be one as he and the father are one.
00:16:08.924 --> 00:16:10.926
And those will be one as he and the father are one. then you will be perfected
00:16:10.993 --> 00:16:12.428
As he and the father are one. then you will be perfected in unity
00:16:12.494 --> 00:16:13.595
Then you will be perfected in unity and the world will know
00:16:13.662 --> 00:16:14.797
In unity and the world will know the father sent me.
00:16:14.863 --> 00:16:15.964
And the world will know the father sent me. the world will not be w-o-n
00:16:16.031 --> 00:16:18.033
The father sent me. the world will not be w-o-n until we are o-n-e
00:16:18.100 --> 00:16:19.735
The world will not be w-o-n until we are o-n-e in messiah.
00:16:19.802 --> 00:16:21.303
Until we are o-n-e in messiah. the world will not be won
00:16:21.370 --> 00:16:22.738
In messiah. the world will not be won until we are one in love
00:16:22.805 --> 00:16:24.706
The world will not be won until we are one in love in messiah.
00:16:24.773 --> 00:16:26.075
Until we are one in love in messiah. and that's cast the nets
00:16:26.141 --> 00:16:27.709
In messiah. and that's cast the nets on the right side of the boat.
00:16:27.776 --> 00:16:29.078
And that's cast the nets on the right side of the boat. randy: i love it.
00:16:29.144 --> 00:16:30.079
On the right side of the boat. randy: i love it. all right
00:16:30.145 --> 00:16:31.180
Randy: i love it. all right 13 is my new lucky number.
00:16:31.246 --> 00:16:32.314
Randy: it is interesting,
00:16:33.549 --> 00:16:34.650
Randy: it is interesting, a couple of things.
00:16:34.716 --> 00:16:35.784
A couple of things. the signs are not the thing.
00:16:35.851 --> 00:16:38.821
The signs are not the thing. they point to the thing.
00:16:38.887 --> 00:16:40.589
They point to the thing. right?
00:16:40.656 --> 00:16:41.824
And you see a sign that says
00:16:43.225 --> 00:16:44.393
And you see a sign that says "los angeles, 268 miles,"
00:16:44.460 --> 00:16:47.062
And you see a sign that says "los angeles, 268 miles," you have not arrived.
00:16:47.129 --> 00:16:48.864
"los angeles, 268 miles," you have not arrived. but you're on the right path.
00:16:48.931 --> 00:16:50.299
You have not arrived. but you're on the right path. and so, i love
00:16:50.365 --> 00:16:51.533
But you're on the right path. and so, i love how all of these things
00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:52.868
And so, i love how all of these things are pointing to the messiah.
00:16:52.935 --> 00:16:54.970
How all of these things are pointing to the messiah. one note though,
00:16:55.037 --> 00:16:56.171
Are pointing to the messiah. one note though, in both of those miracles
00:16:56.238 --> 00:16:57.539
One note though, in both of those miracles there is a component
00:16:57.606 --> 00:16:58.874
In both of those miracles there is a component of believing what jesus said
00:16:58.941 --> 00:17:02.144
There is a component of believing what jesus said and then acting on it.
00:17:02.211 --> 00:17:04.746
Of believing what jesus said and then acting on it. jason: exactly! yeah!
00:17:04.813 --> 00:17:06.115
And then acting on it. jason: exactly! yeah! randy: how critical is it
00:17:06.181 --> 00:17:07.349
Jason: exactly! yeah! randy: how critical is it that we not just read
00:17:07.416 --> 00:17:08.584
Randy: how critical is it that we not just read these nice stories
00:17:08.650 --> 00:17:09.818
That we not just read these nice stories or discover these nice
00:17:09.885 --> 00:17:10.953
These nice stories or discover these nice deeper things
00:17:11.019 --> 00:17:12.054
Or discover these nice deeper things but act on it?
00:17:12.121 --> 00:17:13.188
Deeper things but act on it? jason: absolutely.
00:17:13.255 --> 00:17:14.389
But act on it? jason: absolutely. i think
00:17:14.456 --> 00:17:15.557
Jason: absolutely. i think one of the interesting things,
00:17:15.624 --> 00:17:16.758
I think one of the interesting things, for example,
00:17:16.825 --> 00:17:17.893
One of the interesting things, for example, with the miracle
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:18.927
For example, with the miracle of the water into wine
00:17:18.994 --> 00:17:20.129
With the miracle of the water into wine in john chapter two,
00:17:20.195 --> 00:17:21.196
Of the water into wine in john chapter two, the miracle doesn't
00:17:21.263 --> 00:17:22.297
In john chapter two, the miracle doesn't actually happen
00:17:22.364 --> 00:17:23.532
The miracle doesn't actually happen until everything runs out.
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:24.666
Actually happen until everything runs out. that's important
00:17:24.733 --> 00:17:25.834
Until everything runs out. that's important to understand.
00:17:25.901 --> 00:17:27.002
That's important to understand. it is not until
00:17:27.069 --> 00:17:28.170
To understand. it is not until we come to an end of ourselves
00:17:28.237 --> 00:17:29.838
It is not until we come to an end of ourselves that god begins.
00:17:29.905 --> 00:17:31.607
We come to an end of ourselves that god begins. so i say that because
00:17:31.673 --> 00:17:33.709
That god begins. so i say that because the hardest time to have faith
00:17:33.775 --> 00:17:36.512
So i say that because the hardest time to have faith and to take action
00:17:36.578 --> 00:17:38.514
The hardest time to have faith and to take action is when it seems
00:17:38.580 --> 00:17:39.681
And to take action is when it seems like everything has run out
00:17:39.748 --> 00:17:40.983
Is when it seems like everything has run out when there is nothing left.
00:17:41.049 --> 00:17:43.352
Like everything has run out when there is nothing left. but then
00:17:43.418 --> 00:17:44.620
When there is nothing left. but then yeshua-jesus tells mary,
00:17:44.686 --> 00:17:47.389
But then yeshua-jesus tells mary, "tell the servants
00:17:47.456 --> 00:17:48.824
Yeshua-jesus tells mary, "tell the servants to fill the pots to the brim
00:17:48.891 --> 00:17:50.893
"tell the servants to fill the pots to the brim with water."
00:17:50.959 --> 00:17:52.227
To fill the pots to the brim with water." they had to take
00:17:52.294 --> 00:17:53.428
With water." they had to take a step of faith
00:17:53.495 --> 00:17:54.897
They had to take
00:17:56.198 --> 00:17:57.399
They had to take the step of faith
00:17:57.466 --> 00:17:58.667
The step of faith and draw the water.
00:17:58.734 --> 00:17:59.968
And draw the water. one of the beautiful things
00:18:00.035 --> 00:18:01.270
One of the beautiful things about mary is she had
00:18:01.336 --> 00:18:02.771
About mary is she had such faith and obedience
00:18:02.838 --> 00:18:04.773
To take no for an answer.
00:18:06.175 --> 00:18:07.442
To take no for an answer. jesus is like, "okay, mom.
00:18:07.509 --> 00:18:09.444
To take no for an answer. jesus is like, "okay, mom. what does this have to do
00:18:09.511 --> 00:18:10.979
Jesus is like, "okay, mom. what does this have to do with me?
00:18:11.046 --> 00:18:12.281
What does this have to do with me? it's not my time."
00:18:12.347 --> 00:18:13.682
With me? it's not my time." she has such faith
00:18:13.749 --> 00:18:16.418
It's not my time." she has such faith that she moves him
00:18:16.485 --> 00:18:18.954
She has such faith that she moves him to take action.
00:18:19.021 --> 00:18:20.355
That she moves him to take action. but then
00:18:20.422 --> 00:18:21.623
To take action. but then she has to take action,
00:18:21.690 --> 00:18:22.758
But then she has to take action, the servants
00:18:22.824 --> 00:18:23.892
She has to take action, the servants have to take action
00:18:23.959 --> 00:18:25.160
The servants have to take action and that was a key component.
00:18:25.227 --> 00:18:28.030
Have to take action and that was a key component. obedience leads to blessing.
00:18:28.096 --> 00:18:31.033
And that was a key component. obedience leads to blessing. we have to step out in faith
00:18:31.099 --> 00:18:33.735
Obedience leads to blessing. we have to step out in faith and take a risk
00:18:33.802 --> 00:18:35.137
We have to step out in faith and take a risk because faith is spelled
00:18:35.204 --> 00:18:36.238
And take a risk because faith is spelled r-i-s-k.
00:18:36.305 --> 00:18:38.307
Because faith is spelled r-i-s-k. unless we're willing to risk,
00:18:38.373 --> 00:18:39.875
R-i-s-k. unless we're willing to risk, we're not going
00:18:39.942 --> 00:18:41.076
Unless we're willing to risk, we're not going to see god move
00:18:41.143 --> 00:18:42.911
We're not going to see god move in a supernatural-type way.
00:18:42.978 --> 00:18:46.048
To see god move in a supernatural-type way. so god honors
00:18:46.114 --> 00:18:48.050
In a supernatural-type way. so god honors that step of faith
00:18:48.116 --> 00:18:49.384
So god honors that step of faith and that risk.
00:18:49.451 --> 00:18:50.652
That step of faith and that risk. randy: it's interesting
00:18:50.719 --> 00:18:51.753
And that risk. randy: it's interesting that there is the belief,
00:18:51.820 --> 00:18:53.355
Randy: it's interesting that there is the belief, and then the obedience,
00:18:53.422 --> 00:18:55.324
That there is the belief, and then the obedience, then the miracle.
00:18:55.390 --> 00:18:57.226
And then the obedience, then the miracle. i think tammy, so many times
00:18:57.292 --> 00:18:59.194
Then the miracle. i think tammy, so many times we want to skip to the miracle
00:18:59.261 --> 00:19:00.996
I think tammy, so many times we want to skip to the miracle but we've got to go through
00:19:01.063 --> 00:19:02.331
We want to skip to the miracle but we've got to go through the belief.
00:19:02.397 --> 00:19:03.599
But we've got to go through the belief. and we have to go
00:19:03.665 --> 00:19:04.833
The belief. and we have to go through obedience.
00:19:04.900 --> 00:19:05.901
And we have to go through obedience. and that's what we've seen
00:19:05.968 --> 00:19:06.969
Through obedience. and that's what we've seen as we've been
00:19:07.035 --> 00:19:08.237
And that's what we've seen as we've been all around the world and seen
00:19:08.303 --> 00:19:09.338
As we've been all around the world and seen these beautiful things happen
00:19:09.404 --> 00:19:10.505
All around the world and seen these beautiful things happen where there is great need.
00:19:10.572 --> 00:19:11.640
These beautiful things happen where there is great need. because people watch,
00:19:11.707 --> 00:19:12.774
Where there is great need. because people watch, they believe,
00:19:12.841 --> 00:19:13.875
Because people watch, they believe, they hear the voice of god,
00:19:13.942 --> 00:19:14.943
They believe, they hear the voice of god, they obey and they act.
00:19:15.010 --> 00:19:16.111
They hear the voice of god, they obey and they act. tammy: i just took a trip
00:19:16.178 --> 00:19:17.179
They obey and they act. tammy: i just took a trip not too long ago
00:19:17.246 --> 00:19:18.280
Tammy: i just took a trip not too long ago to central america.
00:19:18.347 --> 00:19:19.514
Not too long ago to central america. i got the chance to step into
00:19:19.581 --> 00:19:20.716
To central america. i got the chance to step into that place of joy and giving
00:19:20.782 --> 00:19:22.451
I got the chance to step into that place of joy and giving and being a blessing.
00:19:22.517 --> 00:19:25.254
That place of joy and giving and being a blessing. i love this part
00:19:25.320 --> 00:19:26.788
And being a blessing. i love this part of our ministry.
00:19:26.855 --> 00:19:27.990
I love this part of our ministry. it brings me so much joy.
00:19:28.056 --> 00:19:29.524
Of our ministry. it brings me so much joy. it brings me a huge smile.
00:19:29.591 --> 00:19:31.526
It brings me so much joy. it brings me a huge smile. and i know it changes
00:19:31.593 --> 00:19:32.961
It brings me a huge smile. and i know it changes the lives of these children,
00:19:33.028 --> 00:19:34.096
And i know it changes the lives of these children, bringing them joy,
00:19:34.162 --> 00:19:35.397
Bringing them a smile,
00:19:35.864 --> 00:19:37.132
Especially at christmas.
00:19:37.199 --> 00:19:38.233
I can't think of a better time
00:19:38.300 --> 00:19:39.768
For us to pour
00:19:39.835 --> 00:19:41.036
Into the lives of people,
00:19:41.103 --> 00:19:43.171
Especially children,
00:19:43.238 --> 00:19:44.339
That don't have
00:19:44.406 --> 00:19:45.474
Much of anything.
00:19:45.540 --> 00:19:46.708
But a brand-new pair of shoes,
00:19:46.775 --> 00:19:47.909
Randy,
00:19:47.976 --> 00:19:48.977
I mean it seems so simple
00:19:49.044 --> 00:19:50.212
And it doesn't cost
00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:51.280
A whole lot to do this.
00:19:51.346 --> 00:19:52.481
Randy: no. it is easy.
00:19:52.547 --> 00:19:53.548
Here's how it looks.
00:19:53.615 --> 00:19:54.616
You can put shoes,
00:19:54.683 --> 00:19:55.684
A brand-new pair of shoes
00:19:55.751 --> 00:19:56.752
That will last a long time.
00:19:56.818 --> 00:19:57.986
They'll probably actually,
00:19:58.053 --> 00:19:59.054
The children will probably
00:19:59.121 --> 00:20:00.122
Outgrow them
00:20:00.188 --> 00:20:01.323
And pass them down.
00:20:01.390 --> 00:20:02.424
But you can do that
00:20:02.491 --> 00:20:03.558
For ten children right now
00:20:03.625 --> 00:20:04.693
With a gift of $36.
00:20:04.760 --> 00:20:05.994
Maybe you can give shoes
00:20:06.061 --> 00:20:07.963
To 20 children
00:20:08.030 --> 00:20:09.331
For a gift of $72.
00:20:09.398 --> 00:20:10.666
Or 50 pairs of shoes,
00:20:10.732 --> 00:20:12.968
50 children for $180!
00:20:13.035 --> 00:20:16.571
What a simple thing
00:20:16.638 --> 00:20:18.440
But it's huge to them.
00:20:18.507 --> 00:20:20.409
There's also one other thing
00:20:20.475 --> 00:20:21.677
I want to bring
00:20:21.743 --> 00:20:22.844
To your attention.
00:20:22.911 --> 00:20:23.945
It is shoes and smiles .
00:20:24.012 --> 00:20:26.248
There are many children
00:20:26.315 --> 00:20:27.749
Who cannot express any joy
00:20:27.816 --> 00:20:30.252
Any time of the year
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:31.620
Because they were born
00:20:31.687 --> 00:20:32.654
With a cleft lip
00:20:32.721 --> 00:20:33.822
Or cleft palate.
00:20:33.889 --> 00:20:35.457
We're also providing
00:20:35.524 --> 00:20:36.825
Surgeries.
00:20:36.892 --> 00:20:39.161
A typical surgery
00:20:39.227 --> 00:20:40.495
Is about $500,
00:20:40.562 --> 00:20:42.364
Which is why some of you
00:20:42.431 --> 00:20:43.632
May want to give a gift
00:20:43.699 --> 00:20:44.700
Of $500 today to provide
00:20:44.766 --> 00:20:47.302
That corrective surgery.
00:20:47.369 --> 00:20:49.805
But whatever you can do,
00:20:49.871 --> 00:20:50.906
Many of you can give
00:20:50.972 --> 00:20:52.074
Even more than that.
00:20:52.140 --> 00:20:53.241
You can give 275 pairs
00:20:53.308 --> 00:20:54.876
Of shoes for $1,000,
00:20:54.943 --> 00:20:56.211
Or two surgeries,
00:20:56.278 --> 00:20:57.245
Or maybe four or more.
00:20:57.312 --> 00:20:58.380
I'm just saying whatever
00:20:58.447 --> 00:21:00.082
God's enabled you to do
00:21:00.148 --> 00:21:01.983
And put on your heart to give
00:21:02.050 --> 00:21:03.919
This christmas season,
00:21:03.985 --> 00:21:05.754
This is your opportunity.
00:21:05.821 --> 00:21:08.090
You can share the love
00:21:08.156 --> 00:21:09.991
And the joy of christ
00:21:10.058 --> 00:21:12.127
Through these shoes,
00:21:12.194 --> 00:21:13.628
Through these smiles.
00:21:13.695 --> 00:21:15.230
Will you do it now?
00:21:15.297 --> 00:21:16.631
Go online, go to the phone,
00:21:16.698 --> 00:21:20.168
Make the gift
00:21:20.235 --> 00:21:21.336
That god puts on your heart,
00:21:21.403 --> 00:21:22.838
And let's make christmas
00:21:22.904 --> 00:21:24.239
Special.
00:21:24.306 --> 00:21:26.208
Poverty is a killer, and because of it,
00:21:28.377 --> 00:21:30.946
Children needlessly suffer
00:21:30.946 --> 00:21:33.014
Not only from a lack of food and clean water,
00:21:33.014 --> 00:21:35.050
But also from a lack of things we take for granted,
00:21:35.050 --> 00:21:37.786
Such as a healthy smile or a protective pair of shoes.
00:21:37.786 --> 00:21:41.857
Far too many children living in extreme poverty
00:21:41.857 --> 00:21:44.359
Have never owned a pair of shoes.
00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:46.428
And while that may seem minor,
00:21:46.428 --> 00:21:48.563
Walking with bare feet puts them at risk
00:21:48.563 --> 00:21:50.665
Of painful infections, injury, and life-threatening diseases.
00:21:50.665 --> 00:21:54.603
But this christmas, you can bring hope and healing.
00:21:54.603 --> 00:21:57.272
Your gift today will help provide new shoes
00:21:57.272 --> 00:21:59.541
For 150,000 children in time for the holidays.
00:21:59.541 --> 00:22:03.378
And for some children, a beautiful new smile.
00:22:03.378 --> 00:22:06.581
Your gift of $36 will help provide shoes for ten children,
00:22:06.581 --> 00:22:10.752
$72 will help provide for 20,
00:22:10.752 --> 00:22:13.155
$180 will help provide shoes for 50,
00:22:13.155 --> 00:22:15.991
And a gift of $500 will help provide a cleft surgery,
00:22:15.991 --> 00:22:19.461
Restoring a child's smile forever.
00:22:19.461 --> 00:22:22.130

Kyle: i received something from the lord recently.

Kyle: i received something from the lord recently. he said it's a love letter
00:23:34.402 --> 00:23:37.172
From the lord recently. he said it's a love letter and it's addressed to you.

To you, god says, "my child, before you took

"my child, before you took your first innocent breath
00:23:53.822 --> 00:23:55.056
Before you took your first innocent breath in this temporary home,
00:23:55.123 --> 00:23:56.992
Your first innocent breath in this temporary home, and before the news
00:23:57.058 --> 00:23:58.293
In this temporary home, and before the news of your coming
00:23:58.360 --> 00:23:59.528
And before the news of your coming was ever known,
00:23:59.594 --> 00:24:00.829
Of your coming was ever known, before you were formed,
00:24:00.896 --> 00:24:01.897
Was ever known, before you were formed, i knew you.
00:24:01.963 --> 00:24:03.198
Before you were formed, i knew you. i knew all about you
00:24:03.265 --> 00:24:04.399
I knew you. i knew all about you and i loved you.
00:24:04.466 --> 00:24:05.634
I knew all about you and i loved you. you were always my idea.
00:24:05.700 --> 00:24:06.801
And i loved you. you were always my idea. when i considered
00:24:06.868 --> 00:24:08.069
You were always my idea. when i considered the uniqueness you would bring
00:24:08.136 --> 00:24:09.204
When i considered the uniqueness you would bring and what it would offer
00:24:09.271 --> 00:24:10.438
The uniqueness you would bring and what it would offer my world,
00:24:10.505 --> 00:24:11.640
And what it would offer my world, i made a choice
00:24:11.706 --> 00:24:12.974
My world, i made a choice to orchestrate your existence.
00:24:13.041 --> 00:24:14.776
I made a choice to orchestrate your existence. so i spoke,
00:24:14.843 --> 00:24:16.444
To orchestrate your existence. so i spoke, "let there be you."
00:24:16.511 --> 00:24:18.046
So i spoke, "let there be you." and i'm happy i did.
00:24:18.113 --> 00:24:20.115
"let there be you." and i'm happy i did. every feature and shape,
00:24:20.181 --> 00:24:22.150
And i'm happy i did. every feature and shape, the precise way
00:24:22.217 --> 00:24:23.451
Every feature and shape, the precise way your face creases
00:24:23.518 --> 00:24:24.719
The precise way your face creases when you smile,
00:24:24.786 --> 00:24:26.054
Your face creases when you smile, oh how i love that smile!
00:24:26.121 --> 00:24:27.289
When you smile, oh how i love that smile! the sound of your laugh
00:24:27.355 --> 00:24:28.523
Oh how i love that smile! the sound of your laugh and the passions you pursue,
00:24:28.590 --> 00:24:29.824
The sound of your laugh and the passions you pursue, those aren't quirks,
00:24:29.891 --> 00:24:31.092
And the passions you pursue, those aren't quirks, they're qualities --
00:24:31.159 --> 00:24:32.527
Those aren't quirks, they're qualities -- qualities i've crafted
00:24:32.594 --> 00:24:33.795
They're qualities -- qualities i've crafted to make you
00:24:33.862 --> 00:24:35.096
Qualities i've crafted to make you you.
00:24:35.163 --> 00:24:36.498
To make you you. but what i love the most,
00:24:36.565 --> 00:24:38.366
You. but what i love the most, when i made
00:24:38.433 --> 00:24:39.601
But what i love the most, when i made that consequential choice
00:24:39.668 --> 00:24:40.869
When i made that consequential choice to bring you to life,
00:24:40.936 --> 00:24:42.103
That consequential choice to bring you to life, is far more
00:24:42.170 --> 00:24:43.371
To bring you to life, is far more than anything you can do;
00:24:43.438 --> 00:24:44.539
Is far more than anything you can do; it's the sound of your voice.
00:24:44.606 --> 00:24:46.675
Than anything you can do; it's the sound of your voice. every word you confide,
00:24:46.741 --> 00:24:47.909
It's the sound of your voice. every word you confide, every struggle you share,
00:24:47.976 --> 00:24:49.177
Every word you confide, every struggle you share, every mess you confess,
00:24:49.244 --> 00:24:50.779
Every struggle you share, every mess you confess, i look forward
00:24:50.845 --> 00:24:52.113
Every mess you confess, i look forward to those precious,
00:24:52.180 --> 00:24:53.415
I look forward to those precious, tender moments
00:24:53.481 --> 00:24:54.749
To those precious, tender moments when our hearts connect.
00:24:54.816 --> 00:24:56.585
Tender moments when our hearts connect. my child, i love you.
00:24:56.651 --> 00:24:58.687
When our hearts connect. my child, i love you. and all the words
00:24:58.753 --> 00:24:59.955
My child, i love you. and all the words in a million love letters
00:25:00.021 --> 00:25:01.156
And all the words in a million love letters can't adequately express
00:25:01.222 --> 00:25:02.557
What that means.
00:25:02.657 --> 00:25:03.858
What that means. you'll find out more in time.
00:25:03.925 --> 00:25:05.093
What that means. you'll find out more in time. but for now,
00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:06.328
You'll find out more in time. but for now, know that there is nothing
00:25:06.394 --> 00:25:07.529
But for now, know that there is nothing that you can do
00:25:07.596 --> 00:25:08.997
Know that there is nothing that you can do to change my mind.
00:25:09.064 --> 00:25:10.265
That you can do to change my mind. i love you
00:25:10.332 --> 00:25:11.433
To change my mind. i love you and i'm so glad
00:25:11.499 --> 00:25:12.634
You're here with me.
00:25:12.734 --> 00:25:13.902
You're here with me. love, your father, god.
00:25:13.969 --> 00:25:17.505
You're here with me. love, your father, god. hmm.
00:25:17.572 --> 00:25:19.107
Love, your father, god. hmm. friend, i know
00:25:19.174 --> 00:25:20.508
Hmm. friend, i know there is so much in this world
00:25:20.575 --> 00:25:21.676
Friend, i know there is so much in this world that can make you feel unloved
00:25:21.743 --> 00:25:23.478
There is so much in this world that can make you feel unloved the words and actions
00:25:23.545 --> 00:25:24.846
That can make you feel unloved the words and actions of people,
00:25:24.913 --> 00:25:26.114
The words and actions of people, your own past regrets
00:25:26.181 --> 00:25:27.382
Of people, your own past regrets and present struggles,
00:25:27.449 --> 00:25:28.550
Your own past regrets and present struggles, just to name a few.
00:25:28.617 --> 00:25:29.818
And present struggles, just to name a few. but you must know
00:25:29.884 --> 00:25:31.052
Just to name a few. but you must know that unloved feeling,
00:25:31.119 --> 00:25:33.021
But you must know that unloved feeling, it isn't true.
00:25:33.088 --> 00:25:34.656
That unloved feeling, it isn't true. the bible says
00:25:34.723 --> 00:25:35.824
It isn't true. the bible says in ephesians 1:4
00:25:35.890 --> 00:25:36.958
The bible says in ephesians 1:4 that even before
00:25:37.025 --> 00:25:38.259
In ephesians 1:4 that even before god made the world,
00:25:38.326 --> 00:25:39.494
That even before god made the world, he loved you and chose you,
00:25:39.561 --> 00:25:40.929
God made the world, he loved you and chose you, in christ,
00:25:40.996 --> 00:25:42.330
He loved you and chose you, in christ, to be faultless in his eyes.
00:25:42.397 --> 00:25:44.265
In christ, to be faultless in his eyes. think about that!
00:25:44.332 --> 00:25:45.834
To be faultless in his eyes. think about that! nothing about you
00:25:45.900 --> 00:25:47.302
Think about that! nothing about you surprises god.
00:25:47.369 --> 00:25:48.570
Nothing about you surprises god. much of it was designed by him
00:25:48.637 --> 00:25:50.005
Surprises god. much of it was designed by him in the first place.
00:25:50.071 --> 00:25:51.172
Much of it was designed by him in the first place. but even the things
00:25:51.239 --> 00:25:52.340
In the first place. but even the things that weren't,
00:25:52.407 --> 00:25:53.642
But even the things that weren't, he saw those things too,
00:25:53.708 --> 00:25:55.744
That weren't, he saw those things too, and he still decided
00:25:55.810 --> 00:25:56.945
He saw those things too, and he still decided to orchestrate
00:25:57.012 --> 00:25:58.246
And he still decided to orchestrate your existence.
00:25:58.313 --> 00:25:59.547
To orchestrate your existence. knowing all about you,
00:25:59.614 --> 00:26:00.915
Your existence. knowing all about you, he still said,
00:26:00.982 --> 00:26:02.217
Knowing all about you, he still said, "let there be you."
00:26:02.283 --> 00:26:04.085
He still said, "let there be you." get this:
00:26:04.152 --> 00:26:05.654
"let there be you." get this: the one who knew you first,
00:26:05.720 --> 00:26:08.189
Get this: the one who knew you first, loved you first.
00:26:08.256 --> 00:26:09.691
