[1459.10 --> 1459.60] of course,
[1459.76 --> 1460.06] Jesus,
[1460.24 --> 1460.82] of course.
[1461.90 --> 1462.28] Yeah, yeah,
[1462.30 --> 1462.46] yeah,
[1462.46 --> 1462.88] the cross,
[1462.94 --> 1463.70] of course.
[1465.28 --> 1465.62] But hey,
[1465.94 --> 1466.52] circumcision.
[1466.52 --> 1466.60] circumcision.
[1467.56 --> 1468.14] And we're back
[1468.14 --> 1468.76] to what we started
[1468.76 --> 1469.46] earlier on.
[1469.76 --> 1470.32] We're back to
[1470.32 --> 1472.08] Jesus plus.
[1475.12 --> 1476.70] Jesus plus something else.
[1476.96 --> 1477.46] Yeah, yeah, yeah,
[1477.46 --> 1477.58] yeah,
[1477.58 --> 1478.00] the cross,
[1478.08 --> 1478.34] yeah, yeah,
[1478.34 --> 1478.56] sure.
[1479.04 --> 1480.28] But this,
[1480.36 --> 1481.08] you've got to believe this.
[1481.28 --> 1482.06] You've got to say this.
[1482.22 --> 1483.20] You've got to act like this.
[1484.54 --> 1485.34] And Paul keeps saying,
[1485.40 --> 1485.82] no, no, no.
[1487.40 --> 1487.80] Jesus,
[1488.16 --> 1488.68] the cross,
[1488.98 --> 1489.68] you need saving.
[1490.02 --> 1490.82] That's the point.
[1490.82 --> 1490.88] That's the point.
[1494.78 --> 1495.18] Yeah,
[1495.22 --> 1495.34] but,
[1495.34 --> 1496.54] you know,
[1496.54 --> 1497.54] and the cross,
[1498.56 --> 1499.96] Paul said it,
[1500.02 --> 1501.02] he said it right here,
[1501.30 --> 1502.26] the cross is offensive.
[1504.56 --> 1505.08] The cross is offensive.
[1505.28 --> 1505.92] Bertrand Russell,
[1506.06 --> 1506.76] a famous philosopher,
[1506.98 --> 1507.84] described the cross
[1507.84 --> 1509.76] as a doctrine of cruelty.
[1515.30 --> 1516.46] Lots of people like,
[1516.64 --> 1516.80] you know,
[1516.86 --> 1517.00] they say,
[1517.04 --> 1517.16] ah,
[1517.16 --> 1517.98] religion's good.
[1518.12 --> 1518.64] It's good.
[1518.96 --> 1519.36] Morality,
[1519.50 --> 1520.06] a little morality,
[1520.16 --> 1520.84] that's good for us.
[1520.84 --> 1522.60] The cross,
[1522.80 --> 1522.96] well,
[1523.12 --> 1523.96] nice piece of jewelry,
[1524.46 --> 1525.42] but offensive otherwise.
[1529.50 --> 1530.32] And I've seen it
[1530.32 --> 1531.10] in people's eyes.
[1531.84 --> 1533.30] Are you saying
[1533.30 --> 1535.80] that I need saving?
[1538.86 --> 1540.58] That I'm not good enough
[1540.58 --> 1541.38] by myself,
[1541.72 --> 1542.98] even though I'm obviously
[1542.98 --> 1544.52] extremely successful?
[1544.52 --> 1544.66] people,
[1545.66 --> 1552.10] Jesus is a stumbling block
[1552.10 --> 1552.56] for many,
[1552.76 --> 1554.06] many who don't want
[1554.06 --> 1554.96] to hear that they
[1554.96 --> 1556.32] in the core of their being
[1556.32 --> 1558.06] need a savior.
[1561.30 --> 1562.20] Do you need one?
[1562.20 --> 1567.94] And then Paul goes further
[1567.94 --> 1568.26] and he says,
[1568.44 --> 1570.28] that's what we need
[1570.28 --> 1570.76] to boast in.
[1571.44 --> 1572.36] We've got to boast
[1572.36 --> 1573.12] in the cross.
[1573.84 --> 1574.76] Boast in what Jesus
[1574.76 --> 1575.32] has done.
[1577.22 --> 1578.02] Paul says this
[1578.02 --> 1578.74] in a bunch of different
[1578.74 --> 1579.38] places, right?
[1579.60 --> 1580.32] Boast in the cross.
[1581.04 --> 1582.34] And boast is the word
[1582.34 --> 1583.12] that actually comes
[1583.12 --> 1583.66] out of warfare.
[1584.82 --> 1586.04] It's when the general
[1586.04 --> 1586.74] or the leader
[1586.74 --> 1589.08] in the military there
[1589.08 --> 1590.36] would say to these people
[1590.36 --> 1590.86] that are about
[1590.86 --> 1591.82] to have to charge
[1591.82 --> 1593.76] into the jaws of death
[1593.76 --> 1596.10] and he had to pump them up
[1596.10 --> 1597.58] and that was a word
[1597.58 --> 1598.14] for boast.
[1598.62 --> 1599.40] And he would say things
[1599.40 --> 1599.58] like,
