[1374.90 --> 1376.14] in anything else.
[1376.54 --> 1377.34] And only then
[1377.34 --> 1378.20] would she be able
[1378.20 --> 1379.36] to fully love Ben
[1379.36 --> 1380.26] and be the mother
[1380.26 --> 1381.30] he needed her to be.
[1381.58 --> 1382.56] And she said that to him,
[1382.82 --> 1384.04] because I love God more,
[1384.26 --> 1384.86] I can learn
[1384.86 --> 1386.62] to love you more.
[1389.24 --> 1390.10] My wife and I
[1390.10 --> 1390.66] talked about that
[1390.66 --> 1391.32] a long time ago.
[1392.52 --> 1392.90] Right?
[1393.12 --> 1393.26] Yeah,
[1393.30 --> 1394.10] we love each other.
[1394.74 --> 1395.44] If you were to ask
[1395.44 --> 1396.22] Sid or Candy,
[1397.04 --> 1397.98] who do you love more,
[1398.08 --> 1399.12] God or your spouse?
[1399.36 --> 1400.00] The answer is going
[1400.00 --> 1400.36] to be God.
[1402.12 --> 1403.24] And the irony is,
[1403.46 --> 1403.62] yeah,
[1403.68 --> 1404.28] we know that
[1404.28 --> 1405.24] because we can't
[1405.24 --> 1406.28] be God to each other
[1406.28 --> 1407.40] because that's a disaster.
[1408.40 --> 1409.90] So we need God
[1409.90 --> 1410.96] so that we can learn
[1411.30 --> 1413.50] to find the true self
[1413.50 --> 1414.48] that God made us to be,
[1414.72 --> 1415.70] that we can learn grace,
[1415.78 --> 1416.62] we can learn freedom,
[1417.02 --> 1418.46] and then we can learn
[1418.46 --> 1419.26] to love in a way
[1419.26 --> 1420.46] that Jesus would love.
[1426.76 --> 1427.94] Only out of love for God
[1427.94 --> 1429.30] can I learn to love others.
[1431.22 --> 1432.04] And I can learn
[1432.04 --> 1432.80] to relate to others
[1432.80 --> 1434.26] and I can point out to them
[1434.26 --> 1435.80] what peace looks like
[1435.80 --> 1437.92] and what forgiveness
[1437.92 --> 1438.34] looks like
[1438.34 --> 1439.06] and grace looks like.
[1439.06 --> 1441.12] Jesus' relationship
[1441.12 --> 1441.84] with the Father
[1441.84 --> 1442.64] is ultimately
[1442.64 --> 1443.52] what determines
[1443.52 --> 1444.30] His identity,
[1444.62 --> 1445.16] His being,
[1445.24 --> 1445.92] and His purpose.
[1446.52 --> 1447.18] And then He learned
[1447.18 --> 1447.56] to say,
[1447.64 --> 1448.30] even when it was hard,
[1448.62 --> 1449.36] not my will,
[1449.44 --> 1450.36] thy will be done.
[1451.58 --> 1452.40] And this doesn't mean
[1452.40 --> 1453.46] He was rejecting others,
[1453.74 --> 1455.58] but that one relationship
[1455.58 --> 1457.28] was above all others.
[1460.28 --> 1461.52] That is the choice
[1461.52 --> 1463.12] that Jesus sets
[1463.12 --> 1464.24] before these people here
[1464.24 --> 1465.74] and He sets it for us.
[1465.74 --> 1467.90] who or what
[1467.90 --> 1469.58] is the determining relationship
[1469.58 --> 1471.22] that gives you identity
[1471.22 --> 1472.38] and being
[1472.38 --> 1473.42] and purpose
[1473.42 --> 1474.40] and life?
[1475.44 --> 1476.26] Who is it?
[1478.04 --> 1479.18] What is your
[1479.18 --> 1480.82] defining relationship?
[1483.80 --> 1484.90] Some of you might answer,
[1485.02 --> 1486.20] maybe it's your kids.
[1487.38 --> 1488.22] Maybe it's your spouse.
[1488.44 --> 1489.20] Maybe it's your work,
[1489.38 --> 1489.78] your country,
[1489.86 --> 1490.18] yourself.
[1490.18 --> 1491.80] It's a choice
[1491.80 --> 1493.40] we constantly need to make
[1493.40 --> 1495.20] day after day after day.
[1495.56 --> 1496.04] And in that,
[1496.30 --> 1496.76] Jesus says,
[1497.06 --> 1497.98] I have come
[1497.98 --> 1500.00] to bring that division
[1500.00 --> 1500.80] to you.
[1504.80 --> 1506.16] To bring the choice
[1506.16 --> 1507.18] between light and darkness,
[1507.46 --> 1508.44] between life and death,
[1508.66 --> 1509.66] between real peace
[1509.66 --> 1510.80] and shallow peace.
[1511.64 --> 1512.74] To choose the Father
[1512.74 --> 1514.00] as our primary relationship
[1514.00 --> 1515.20] is the way.
[1515.20 --> 1518.66] and that defines
[1518.66 --> 1519.36] all else.
[1521.16 --> 1521.84] And this division
