[3789.96 --> 3790.20] God.
[3791.20 --> 3792.56] And so God tells Ezekiel,
[3792.94 --> 3794.78] prophesy to these bones.
[3795.48 --> 3796.50] And Ezekiel starts
[3796.50 --> 3797.50] prophesying to them,
[3797.62 --> 3798.18] and the bones
[3798.18 --> 3799.36] start coming together,
[3799.36 --> 3800.94] and they start standing up,
[3801.04 --> 3801.72] and then sinew,
[3801.84 --> 3802.28] and muscle,
[3802.46 --> 3802.94] and flesh
[3802.94 --> 3804.44] starts surrounding
[3804.44 --> 3805.14] these bones
[3805.14 --> 3806.12] as they stand there,
[3806.26 --> 3807.92] and then God says again to him,
[3808.22 --> 3810.02] can these bones have life?
[3810.36 --> 3811.10] And Ezekiel says,
[3811.30 --> 3811.96] only you know,
[3812.10 --> 3812.24] Lord.
[3813.02 --> 3813.80] And God says,
[3814.02 --> 3815.28] preach to these bones.
[3815.40 --> 3816.58] And so Ezekiel preaches,
[3816.86 --> 3818.12] and the spirit wind
[3818.12 --> 3818.80] blows down
[3818.80 --> 3819.80] through that valley,
[3820.04 --> 3822.18] and these beings
[3822.18 --> 3824.00] now come back to life.
[3825.08 --> 3825.26] Right?
[3825.28 --> 3826.44] The Word of God
[3826.44 --> 3827.92] brings life.
[3828.96 --> 3829.98] And all of this
[3829.98 --> 3831.16] sort of anticipates,
[3831.16 --> 3832.44] for those of you
[3832.44 --> 3833.82] who have read
[3833.82 --> 3835.22] the Gospel of John,
[3835.88 --> 3838.70] Peter and the twelve
[3838.70 --> 3839.74] are walking with Jesus,
[3839.90 --> 3840.60] and a number of people
[3840.60 --> 3841.32] have left
[3841.32 --> 3842.86] and fled away
[3842.86 --> 3843.74] from helping Jesus,
[3843.90 --> 3844.72] and Jesus turns
[3844.72 --> 3845.46] to the twelve,
[3845.84 --> 3846.36] and he says,
[3846.44 --> 3847.20] are you too
[3847.20 --> 3848.68] going to leave me?
[3849.90 --> 3850.98] And Peter answers,
[3851.16 --> 3851.48] he says,
[3851.48 --> 3852.78] where shall we go,
[3853.08 --> 3853.18] Lord?
[3854.04 --> 3855.74] For you have the words
[3855.74 --> 3857.32] of eternal life.
[3858.66 --> 3859.64] The Word of God
[3859.64 --> 3861.42] is supposed to bring life,
[3861.52 --> 3863.08] but where the psalmist is,
[3863.58 --> 3864.50] I meditated,
[3864.70 --> 3865.94] and my spirit grew faint.
[3866.20 --> 3867.32] Where the psalmist is,
[3867.40 --> 3868.06] he meditates
[3868.06 --> 3869.10] on the words of God,
[3869.16 --> 3869.80] and his spirit
[3869.80 --> 3870.86] grows faint.
[3871.14 --> 3872.24] It saps him.
[3872.44 --> 3873.74] It doesn't give him life.
[3874.00 --> 3874.90] There's something going on
[3874.90 --> 3875.80] that makes it draining
[3875.80 --> 3876.74] and oppressive,
[3876.86 --> 3877.54] not filling
[3877.54 --> 3878.38] and abundant.
[3878.84 --> 3880.54] He's not in a place
[3880.54 --> 3882.56] where he can hear
[3882.56 --> 3883.70] these truths
[3883.70 --> 3885.74] as an encouragement.
[3887.10 --> 3887.54] Instead,
[3888.04 --> 3888.74] in his heart,
[3888.74 --> 3890.04] he is in a place
[3890.04 --> 3891.00] where he looks
[3891.00 --> 3891.86] at the faithfulness
[3891.86 --> 3892.34] of God,
[3892.44 --> 3893.30] he looks at the power
[3893.30 --> 3893.84] of God,
[3893.94 --> 3894.70] and he says,
[3894.92 --> 3895.68] what's up with that?
[3896.52 --> 3897.18] Why aren't you
[3897.18 --> 3898.00] doing that again?
[3899.74 --> 3900.54] Why aren't you
[3900.54 --> 3901.30] doing that here?
[3902.26 --> 3903.44] I know who you are.
[3903.52 --> 3904.14] Why aren't you
[3904.14 --> 3905.26] doing this?
[3907.58 --> 3907.92] If you
[3907.92 --> 3910.14] haven't seen it,
[3910.18 --> 3910.78] haven't figured out
[3910.78 --> 3912.04] where we're going,
[3913.04 --> 3914.34] I believe that there's
[3914.34 --> 3916.56] something of us all
[3916.56 --> 3917.22] here,
[3918.22 --> 3918.80] how we can relate
[3918.80 --> 3919.64] to this circumstance
[3919.64 --> 3920.78] and this situation.
