[1299.44 --> 1300.22] is written
[1300.22 --> 1301.22] in the book of life
[1301.22 --> 1302.70] as is yours.
[1306.86 --> 1307.70] And then maybe
[1307.70 --> 1308.48] it'll shut you up
[1308.48 --> 1309.06] once in a while.
[1312.48 --> 1313.12] Or at least
[1313.12 --> 1314.04] keep you focused
[1314.04 --> 1315.04] on the mission.
[1315.26 --> 1315.64] What's the mission?
[1316.02 --> 1316.46] Salvation.
[1321.88 --> 1323.54] When we look at that passage,
[1323.68 --> 1324.28] verse 21,
[1324.72 --> 1325.50] let me read it to you
[1325.50 --> 1326.06] one more time.
[1326.46 --> 1327.16] At that time,
[1327.28 --> 1327.82] here we go.
[1328.12 --> 1328.40] Jesus,
[1328.70 --> 1330.02] full of joy
[1330.02 --> 1331.24] through the Holy Spirit,
[1331.32 --> 1331.44] said,
[1331.54 --> 1332.50] I praise you, Father,
[1332.60 --> 1333.32] Lord of heaven and earth,
[1333.48 --> 1334.38] because you have hidden
[1334.38 --> 1334.92] these things
[1334.92 --> 1335.84] from the wise and the learned
[1335.84 --> 1336.78] and revealed them
[1336.78 --> 1337.38] to those children.
[1337.68 --> 1338.20] Yes, Father,
[1338.28 --> 1338.84] for this is what
[1338.84 --> 1340.34] you were pleased to do.
[1341.26 --> 1342.28] It's the Father's
[1342.28 --> 1343.04] good pleasure
[1343.04 --> 1344.06] to accomplish
[1344.06 --> 1345.34] his salvation plan
[1345.34 --> 1346.44] through his Son.
[1346.86 --> 1348.06] The Son makes known
[1348.06 --> 1349.12] the Father to men.
[1350.28 --> 1351.22] That's why Jesus says
[1351.22 --> 1352.10] in Scripture, right,
[1352.22 --> 1353.08] I am the way,
[1353.32 --> 1353.74] the truth,
[1353.84 --> 1354.14] the life.
[1354.40 --> 1355.76] No one comes to the Father
[1355.76 --> 1357.68] except through me.
[1361.40 --> 1362.36] That's the path.
[1365.62 --> 1367.32] And isn't it incredible
[1367.32 --> 1369.16] that Jesus and the Father
[1369.16 --> 1370.08] share joy
[1370.08 --> 1371.58] in saving us?
[1371.58 --> 1374.44] it's not just,
[1374.56 --> 1374.96] okay,
[1375.06 --> 1375.80] I guess somebody's
[1375.80 --> 1376.62] got to save him.
[1379.08 --> 1379.42] No,
[1379.52 --> 1382.38] it's the whole point.
[1382.38 --> 1382.40] It's the whole point.
[1389.30 --> 1391.22] Jesus finds joy
[1391.22 --> 1392.32] in pleasing the Father,
[1393.06 --> 1393.68] in living out
[1393.68 --> 1394.88] his good and perfect will,
[1395.50 --> 1396.22] in carrying out
[1396.22 --> 1396.66] the mission
[1396.66 --> 1397.60] to save men
[1397.60 --> 1398.76] through himself.
[1398.76 --> 1400.36] That's why we read,
[1400.44 --> 1401.58] for God so loved the world
[1401.58 --> 1402.26] that he gave
[1402.26 --> 1403.02] his only Son.
[1403.82 --> 1404.54] The disciples
[1404.54 --> 1405.32] were to find
[1405.32 --> 1406.50] their ultimate joy
[1406.50 --> 1408.62] in God's plan
[1408.62 --> 1409.20] and will.
[1414.86 --> 1415.70] And they are,
[1415.76 --> 1416.98] and they are with Jesus,
[1417.14 --> 1417.28] right?
[1417.66 --> 1418.50] I have some picture,
[1418.74 --> 1419.62] envy them in that.
[1419.94 --> 1420.58] They are with Jesus
[1420.58 --> 1421.08] physically,
[1421.58 --> 1422.14] the Son,
[1422.24 --> 1422.64] the Messiah,
[1422.86 --> 1423.90] who sends them out
[1423.90 --> 1424.54] two by two
[1424.54 --> 1425.82] with nothing but himself
[1425.82 --> 1426.56] and his power.
[1427.16 --> 1428.58] And many wise
[1428.58 --> 1429.50] and learned ones
[1429.50 --> 1430.36] can't see this.
[1430.44 --> 1431.48] And it's not a knock
[1431.48 --> 1432.04] on education
[1432.04 --> 1432.74] or anything like that.
[1433.00 --> 1433.80] What this is a knock
[1433.80 --> 1434.86] on that passage,
[1435.28 --> 1436.04] the wise and learned,
[1436.46 --> 1437.60] is they can't see
[1437.60 --> 1438.70] their need
[1438.70 --> 1439.60] to be saved
[1439.60 --> 1440.82] because they're too busy
