1
00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:07.599
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to kfi Am six forty on demand the crucifixion.

2
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:12.240
<v Speaker 1>And when they came to the place called the Skull,

3
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:18.199
<v Speaker 1>there they crucified him and the criminals, one on the right,

4
00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:24.239
<v Speaker 1>the other on the left. But Jesus was saying, Father,

5
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:29.239
<v Speaker 1>forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.

6
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:39.200
<v Speaker 1>And they cast lots, dividing his garments among themselves. And

7
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:44.079
<v Speaker 1>the people stood by watching, and even the rulers were

8
00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:50.200
<v Speaker 1>sneering at him, saying, he saved others, let him save himself.

9
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:57.640
<v Speaker 1>If this is the Christ of God, is chosen one.

10
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:02.960
<v Speaker 1>The soldiers also ridiculed him, coming up to him, offering

11
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:08.120
<v Speaker 1>him sour wine and saying, if you are the King

12
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:12.000
<v Speaker 1>of the Jews, save yourself.

13
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:14.480
<v Speaker 2>Now.

14
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:22.159
<v Speaker 1>There was also an inscription above him, this is the

15
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:27.799
<v Speaker 1>King of the Jews. One of the criminals who were

16
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:33.400
<v Speaker 1>hanging there was hurling abuse at him, saying, are you

17
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:40.280
<v Speaker 1>not the Christ? Save yourself and us? But the other

18
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:46.439
<v Speaker 1>responded and rebuking him, said do you not even fear God?

19
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:54.159
<v Speaker 1>Since you are under the same sentence of condemnation. And

20
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:58.840
<v Speaker 1>we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving what

21
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>we deserve for our but this man, This man has

22
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:11.599
<v Speaker 1>done nothing wrong. And he was saying, Jesus, remember me

23
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:19.960
<v Speaker 1>when you come into your kingdom. And he said to him, truly,

24
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.879
<v Speaker 1>I say to you today you will be with me

25
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:30.599
<v Speaker 1>in Paradise. It was now about the sixth hour. Darkness

26
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:35.960
<v Speaker 1>came over the entire land until the ninth hour because

27
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.919
<v Speaker 1>the sun stopped shining, and the veil of the temple

28
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:44.599
<v Speaker 1>was torn, and Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, Father,

29
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:50.479
<v Speaker 1>into your hands, I entrust my spirit. Having said this,

30
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:58.800
<v Speaker 1>he died. Now. When the centurion saw what had happened,

31
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:04.039
<v Speaker 1>he began praising God, saying this man was in fact innocent.

32
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:09.039
<v Speaker 1>And all the crowds who came together for the spectacle,

33
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:14.960
<v Speaker 1>after watching what had happened, began to return home, beating

34
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:21.800
<v Speaker 1>their chests. And all his acquaintances and the women who

35
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:28.759
<v Speaker 1>accompanying him from Galilee were standing at a distance seeing

36
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:30.080
<v Speaker 1>these things.

37
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:33.159
<v Speaker 2>The burial.

38
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:39.960
<v Speaker 1>And a man named Joseph, who was a member of

39
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:46.800
<v Speaker 1>the council, a good and righteous man, a man from Arimathea,

40
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:50.120
<v Speaker 1>a city of the Jews, who was waiting for the

41
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Kingdom of God. This man went to Pilate and asked

42
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:57.560
<v Speaker 1>for the body of Jesus, and he took it down,

43
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:00.919
<v Speaker 1>and he wrapped it up in linen cloth and laid

44
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.000
<v Speaker 1>him in a tomb cut into the rock where no

45
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:10.000
<v Speaker 1>one had ever lain. It was a preparation day, and

46
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:15.319
<v Speaker 1>a sabbath was about to begin. Now. The women who

47
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:19.040
<v Speaker 1>had come with him from Galilee followed. They saw the

48
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:23.759
<v Speaker 1>tomb and how his body laid, and then they returned

49
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:33.199
<v Speaker 1>and prepared spices and perfumes, and on the sabbath they

50
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:43.319
<v Speaker 1>rested according to the commandments. So what did all this mean?

51
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:52.040
<v Speaker 1>All that was taking place that day, The things that

52
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:55.399
<v Speaker 1>were said on the cross, the prayers that were made

53
00:04:55.600 --> 00:05:05.959
<v Speaker 1>on the cross, the statements of the criminal on either side,

54
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:12.160
<v Speaker 1>they have power in them. It's very easy, especially on holidays,

55
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:16.639
<v Speaker 1>to hear scripture that you've heard over and over again,

56
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:22.879
<v Speaker 1>and it washes over you, but maybe doesn't sit speaking

57
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:28.040
<v Speaker 1>to you the same way it once did. So much

58
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:32.480
<v Speaker 1>is going on in those moments, so much intense pain.

59
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:41.759
<v Speaker 1>Yet still there's lessons to be learned. What about my

60
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:46.680
<v Speaker 1>prayer on the cross? Father, forgive them, for they do

61
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:52.839
<v Speaker 1>not know what they are doing. This might be something

62
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:56.040
<v Speaker 1>that comes across as passive, but this prayer is not

63
00:05:56.319 --> 00:06:01.759
<v Speaker 1>passive acceptance of their ignorance or what they were doing.

64
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:10.839
<v Speaker 1>This is a very powerful act of intercession. This reflects

65
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:18.319
<v Speaker 1>the boundless love of mine, of the Father and the Spirit,

66
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:27.279
<v Speaker 1>the deep understanding of the human condition that can't be

67
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:37.639
<v Speaker 1>left to a simple phrase that you hear. It's a

68
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:49.399
<v Speaker 1>prayer calling out to the Father to have mercy on ignorance.

69
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:57.879
<v Speaker 1>The phrase forgive them is not a call of or

70
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.759
<v Speaker 1>four weaknesses on the part of God, but a call

71
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:07.959
<v Speaker 1>for the ultimate act of love, demonstrative love that only

72
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:20.439
<v Speaker 1>God could give, something that man did not deserve, and

73
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:24.879
<v Speaker 1>it comes at the most painful moment of my earthly life,

74
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:36.160
<v Speaker 1>when I'm being crucified. This act, fueled by ignorance and malice,

75
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:49.439
<v Speaker 1>is a very stark example of human wickedness. So much

76
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:58.000
<v Speaker 1>going on during the crucifixion. The first the prayer forgive

77
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:02.439
<v Speaker 1>them Father, for they do not know what they are doing,

78
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:13.519
<v Speaker 1>seems so passive at first glance, but there's power in that.

79
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:19.839
<v Speaker 1>The prayer comes at a very painful time, the most

80
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:30.120
<v Speaker 1>painful of my earthly life, being crucified, and the ignorance

81
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:35.679
<v Speaker 1>the malice that is going on is showing the depth

82
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:42.159
<v Speaker 1>of human wickedness. Again, the phrase forgive them. It's not

83
00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:45.360
<v Speaker 1>a call for weakness. It's a call for the ultimate

84
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:51.279
<v Speaker 1>act of love. It's about extending grace, not to those

85
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:57.679
<v Speaker 1>that you might think deserve grace, but extending grace even

86
00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:04.840
<v Speaker 1>to those who are who are the most deserving of condemnation.

87
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:12.879
<v Speaker 1>This is a moment, a reflection of the immense power

88
00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:23.559
<v Speaker 1>of God's forgiveness, the love for humankind. So what was happening.

89
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:30.240
<v Speaker 1>I was acknowledging the ignorance of those who were crucifying me.

90
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:38.960
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't excusing their actions. My understanding and what's going

91
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:44.639
<v Speaker 1>on here is it's more subtle, It's more nuanced that

92
00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:48.559
<v Speaker 1>it might be at first glance to you. I knew

93
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:52.039
<v Speaker 1>that their actions stem from a lack of knowledge of

94
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:58.440
<v Speaker 1>My divine nature at the very least. But also this

95
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:03.480
<v Speaker 1>was an ignorant prints on their part, of their very

96
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:09.759
<v Speaker 1>own flawed humanity, of the very thing that causes the.

97
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Pain.

98
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:19.879
<v Speaker 1>The pain that they will endure not only on earth

99
00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:28.480
<v Speaker 1>but in the afterlife. By prayer is a testament to

100
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:35.720
<v Speaker 1>the transformative power of grace. I asked for forgiveness not

101
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:42.679
<v Speaker 1>because they deserved it, but because I know and knew

102
00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:47.919
<v Speaker 1>then their hearts are capable of being touched by God's love,

103
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:59.039
<v Speaker 1>and in that moment there could be change for those

104
00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:06.120
<v Speaker 1>of you that are believes. This example that you read

105
00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:11.960
<v Speaker 1>about the crucifixion should challenge you. It should challenge you

106
00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:18.240
<v Speaker 1>to extend forgiveness even to those who have wronged you deeply.

107
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:25.840
<v Speaker 1>It's about reflecting God's boundless compassion and love and grace.

108
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:34.360
<v Speaker 1>And I know forgiveness can be a difficult path, but

109
00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:43.879
<v Speaker 1>it is absolutely essential for healing and essential for reconciliation.

110
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:47.639
<v Speaker 1>It's a choice to let go of anger, to let

111
00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:52.720
<v Speaker 1>go of bitterness, to embrace the possibility of restoration. It's

112
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:59.200
<v Speaker 1>the story of the resurrection. My prayer on the cross

113
00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:03.600
<v Speaker 1>should rumind mimind you of the power of intercession reaching

114
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.080
<v Speaker 1>out to God for others. You could ask God to

115
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:10.759
<v Speaker 1>forgive those who are hurting you, who are hurting others,

116
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:15.840
<v Speaker 1>and to work in their hearts to bring about change.

117
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:21.240
<v Speaker 1>A very powerful testament of My love for humanity happened

118
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:25.480
<v Speaker 1>on that cross. It should remind you of the immense

119
00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:31.320
<v Speaker 1>power of forgiveness, the depth of God's grace. You need

120
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:35.399
<v Speaker 1>to extend love and compassion even to those who seen

121
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:41.919
<v Speaker 1>beyond reach for you and for your own abilities, strive

122
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:46.360
<v Speaker 1>to follow my example, praying for forgiveness and striving to

123
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:55.679
<v Speaker 1>live LIFs filled with grace and understanding. Talking about the

124
00:12:55.799 --> 00:12:59.720
<v Speaker 1>story of what took place in the cross, there's other

125
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:04.200
<v Speaker 1>things that I want you to pick up on. At

126
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:11.159
<v Speaker 1>one point, as those that saw my death, it says,

127
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:15.440
<v Speaker 1>and all the crowds who came together for the spectacle,

128
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:21.320
<v Speaker 1>after watching what had happened, began to return home beating

129
00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:27.879
<v Speaker 1>their chests. So what does that mean. It's an interesting

130
00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:33.279
<v Speaker 1>thing when people come to realizations. They may believe in something,

131
00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:44.320
<v Speaker 1>understand something one way, but then when they are faced

132
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:48.200
<v Speaker 1>with a new reality, when they're faced with seeing something

133
00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:59.240
<v Speaker 1>so intense, so potent, that it takes over their mind,

134
00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:04.840
<v Speaker 1>their heart, or everything comes together to confirm differently. So

135
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:10.840
<v Speaker 1>you have a group standing watching as I am being

136
00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:20.799
<v Speaker 1>crucified and mocked. My garments were parsed, they were gambling

137
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:32.960
<v Speaker 1>for them, and through this they stood. But the interesting

138
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:38.080
<v Speaker 1>thing about that very act of beating one's breast their

139
00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:43.240
<v Speaker 1>chest in the Bible and at that time in history,

140
00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:56.720
<v Speaker 1>that that's a symbol, a symbol of sorrow, repentance, humility.

141
00:14:57.840 --> 00:15:04.000
<v Speaker 1>It's a physical gesture expressing inward feelings of guilt, feelings

142
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:15.159
<v Speaker 1>of shame, feelings of regret. And it was was special

143
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:21.440
<v Speaker 1>in a way, was tying itself to the context of

144
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:27.320
<v Speaker 1>seeking God's mercy, acknowledging sin, in this case, their own,

145
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:38.399
<v Speaker 1>in this case coming to the point, coming to the

146
00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:46.399
<v Speaker 1>point where it's the shame of what they were doing.

147
00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Another powerful statement is the criminals hanging there right now

148
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:05.159
<v Speaker 1>next to me, one who is hurling abuse at me, saying,

149
00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:08.840
<v Speaker 1>are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us. There's

150
00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:13.360
<v Speaker 1>power in understanding what is being said there two sides.

151
00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:21.240
<v Speaker 1>The power of this is important. This not only is

152
00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:34.279
<v Speaker 1>looking forward to how the planet itself, humanity itself will separate. One,

153
00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:42.559
<v Speaker 1>even if they have the tiniest amount of belief, will

154
00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:50.559
<v Speaker 1>be frustrated with God's timing and with God's will. Remember,

155
00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:54.759
<v Speaker 1>prayer is not about bending God to your will. It's

156
00:16:54.799 --> 00:17:03.320
<v Speaker 1>about God bending you to his. And so you have

157
00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:14.640
<v Speaker 1>on one side a criminal justly being punished, mocking and

158
00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:22.519
<v Speaker 1>saying do something God, don't only save yourself, save me too.

159
00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:33.920
<v Speaker 1>And then the other saw it completely different, snapped at

160
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:38.599
<v Speaker 1>him and said, do you not even fear God? Since

161
00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:48.160
<v Speaker 1>you were under the same sentence of condemnation and this

162
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:55.519
<v Speaker 1>this moment of clarity and understanding, when one of them says,

163
00:17:55.640 --> 00:18:02.599
<v Speaker 1>and we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving

164
00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:08.039
<v Speaker 1>what we deserve in our crimes. But this man, this

165
00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:19.319
<v Speaker 1>man here, has done nothing the intensity of one in

166
00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:26.839
<v Speaker 1>that selfish moment, even in his own pain, jumping on

167
00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:33.960
<v Speaker 1>with those that were mocking me on the cross, and

168
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:43.240
<v Speaker 1>the other understanding that he was receiving a just punishment

169
00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:55.599
<v Speaker 1>and simply recognized that the one next to him was

170
00:18:55.640 --> 00:19:07.200
<v Speaker 1>the actual Christ and did nothing wrong. That is a

171
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:13.759
<v Speaker 1>point of power, even in a time of intense pain,

172
00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:21.880
<v Speaker 1>in the ugliness of a situation, for somebody to be

173
00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:35.720
<v Speaker 1>so repentant and seek the love and the grace of God, saying, Jesus,

174
00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:39.400
<v Speaker 1>remember me when you come into your kingdom. And of

175
00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:44.039
<v Speaker 1>course my reply, truly I say to you today you

176
00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:51.440
<v Speaker 1>will be met with me in paradise. That one understood

177
00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:59.079
<v Speaker 1>so many things that were said, that were done, that

178
00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:08.000
<v Speaker 1>were experienced, danced on that cross over two thousand years ago.

179
00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:14.880
<v Speaker 1>This is the celebration of the resurrection today. It's not

180
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:18.799
<v Speaker 1>just about that, but everything that led up to that,

181
00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:25.319
<v Speaker 1>Even when those that had been mocking, even when those

182
00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:32.960
<v Speaker 1>that had been throwing things, those that beat me, those

183
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:41.480
<v Speaker 1>that insulted me. There were many that, upon my death

184
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:49.759
<v Speaker 1>understood truly what was going on, understood truly the nature

185
00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:55.920
<v Speaker 1>of who I was. If you don't believe, what will

186
00:20:55.920 --> 00:21:01.200
<v Speaker 1>it take? What is keeping you from the understanding of

187
00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:08.119
<v Speaker 1>the power of the resurrection today? Because I will challenge you.

188
00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:14.160
<v Speaker 1>You may think that it's intellectual, but it's not. People

189
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:20.480
<v Speaker 1>who reject God don't do it intellectual motives or reasons.

190
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:31.920
<v Speaker 1>They do it on emotional ones. Randy, what's your question

191
00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:32.559
<v Speaker 1>this morning?

192
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:39.319
<v Speaker 2>Hey, good morning Jesus, unhappy Easter and to you and

193
00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:42.960
<v Speaker 2>thank you for what you did. Of course I was

194
00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:48.079
<v Speaker 2>always interested. I guess it gets into the triune being.

195
00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Were you always aware of who you were? Or did

196
00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:57.279
<v Speaker 2>Father God reveal it to you at a certain age?

197
00:21:57.759 --> 00:21:59.519
<v Speaker 2>I just have always wondered, do you know when you

198
00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:02.079
<v Speaker 2>were a little baby, did you warn't it when you

199
00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:08.759
<v Speaker 2>were teaching as a kid? Was that something innate? Were

200
00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:10.480
<v Speaker 2>you always aware of who you were?

201
00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:15.799
<v Speaker 1>That's a great question, and you pretty much answered part

202
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:21.000
<v Speaker 1>of it yourself. Because of the trying nature of God

203
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:26.880
<v Speaker 1>and the dual nature of the hyposthetic union between my

204
00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:32.359
<v Speaker 1>humanity and my divinity, and divine nature, you kind of

205
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:36.400
<v Speaker 1>have to ask the question twice. So as God, absolutely,

206
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:43.119
<v Speaker 1>God doesn't learn anything, but as human absolutely there was

207
00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:48.039
<v Speaker 1>a progression of understanding. Now, you mentioned as a child

208
00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:54.559
<v Speaker 1>that I was aware because I was in the temple

209
00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:58.240
<v Speaker 1>and said, you know, why were you worried about me?

210
00:22:58.920 --> 00:23:02.559
<v Speaker 1>Why were you searching for me? Didn't you know that

211
00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I had to be in my father's house. So at

212
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:10.880
<v Speaker 1>that point it was known. However, if you go and

213
00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:16.440
<v Speaker 1>you look at Luke to fifty two, it's very interesting

214
00:23:16.680 --> 00:23:22.359
<v Speaker 1>because it said that Jesus increased in wisdom and in

215
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:27.519
<v Speaker 1>stature and in favor with God and man. So at

216
00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:34.960
<v Speaker 1>that point, saying that I was increasing in wisdom meant

217
00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:37.200
<v Speaker 1>that there were things I was still learning in my

218
00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:43.079
<v Speaker 1>human form. Can't grow in wisdom as God, but you

219
00:23:43.160 --> 00:23:47.480
<v Speaker 1>can in your human form. So that says from an

220
00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:54.079
<v Speaker 1>earthly perspective that no, that there wasn't It wasn't always

221
00:23:54.119 --> 00:23:59.920
<v Speaker 1>known in the flesh. It was always known as deity.

222
00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:08.960
<v Speaker 1>But you you don't just cram deity, you know, into

223
00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:16.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, just cram deity into a humanity and expected

224
00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:21.960
<v Speaker 1>to you know, all fit in there. So what's going

225
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:28.079
<v Speaker 1>on is quite it's quite intense about the entirety of

226
00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:34.599
<v Speaker 1>the hypostatic union, but again asking those two questions as

227
00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:41.839
<v Speaker 1>God yes, as man or human no. And that's where

228
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:46.039
<v Speaker 1>Luke two fifty two is a very powerful statement of

229
00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:51.799
<v Speaker 1>understanding and growing in wisdom, and in that growing in wisdom,

230
00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:57.319
<v Speaker 1>understanding that new things would come upon me as a human.

231
00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:02.839
<v Speaker 1>So it's not like come out of the gate and

232
00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:07.680
<v Speaker 1>at my birth I was walking around and doing things differently.

233
00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:10.960
<v Speaker 1>There's kind of, you know, different kinds of talk and

234
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:15.680
<v Speaker 1>about lost books and things that I did as a

235
00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:19.920
<v Speaker 1>child that are not well documented, meaning that they don't

236
00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:23.240
<v Speaker 1>hold up to the scrutiny of what becomes canon in

237
00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:28.160
<v Speaker 1>scripture and what doesn't. There are criteria that need to

238
00:25:28.160 --> 00:25:33.480
<v Speaker 1>be met for those things, so that is contingent upon

239
00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:38.400
<v Speaker 1>the amount that's written, who it can be attributed to,

240
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:43.079
<v Speaker 1>and things like that. That is where the power lies.

241
00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:49.119
<v Speaker 1>But as I grew in wisdom, absolutely I started to

242
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:52.559
<v Speaker 1>understand exactly who I was in human form.
