[3436.46 --> 3437.14] and of God
[3437.14 --> 3437.78] who descended
[3437.78 --> 3438.54] on Jesus
[3438.54 --> 3439.70] when he condescended
[3439.70 --> 3440.48] down to us
[3440.48 --> 3441.70] and went to the cross
[3441.70 --> 3442.86] is now also
[3442.86 --> 3444.16] descended on you
[3444.16 --> 3445.78] and in you.
[3445.78 --> 3449.42] the apostles
[3449.42 --> 3451.38] in the early church
[3451.38 --> 3453.10] they got this.
[3453.86 --> 3454.82] There is a story
[3454.82 --> 3456.78] in the book of Acts
[3456.78 --> 3457.94] written by Luke
[3457.94 --> 3459.28] accounting for the
[3459.28 --> 3460.00] development
[3460.00 --> 3460.66] and the rise
[3460.66 --> 3461.40] of the early church
[3461.40 --> 3462.64] and in Acts 5
[3462.64 --> 3463.70] the apostles
[3463.70 --> 3465.18] of Jesus
[3465.18 --> 3465.92] now filled
[3465.92 --> 3466.74] with the Holy Spirit
[3466.74 --> 3467.32] are called
[3467.32 --> 3467.92] to face
[3467.92 --> 3468.86] the Sanhedrin.
[3468.86 --> 3469.90] The Sanhedrin
[3469.90 --> 3470.28] are the
[3470.28 --> 3471.84] the religio-political
[3471.84 --> 3472.96] ruling class
[3472.96 --> 3473.90] in Jerusalem
[3473.90 --> 3476.02] and the apostles
[3476.02 --> 3476.46] come
[3476.46 --> 3477.00] and they are
[3477.00 --> 3477.96] flogged
[3477.96 --> 3478.96] by the rulers
[3478.96 --> 3479.68] and they are ordered
[3479.68 --> 3480.36] not to preach
[3480.36 --> 3481.16] the name of Jesus
[3481.16 --> 3482.06] and then Luke
[3482.06 --> 3483.08] writes in Acts 5
[3483.08 --> 3483.52] 41
[3483.52 --> 3484.62] the apostles
[3484.62 --> 3486.10] left the Sanhedrin
[3486.10 --> 3487.54] rejoicing
[3487.54 --> 3489.18] because they had
[3489.18 --> 3489.64] been counted
[3489.64 --> 3490.26] worthy
[3490.26 --> 3491.48] of suffering
[3491.48 --> 3492.48] disgrace
[3492.48 --> 3493.78] for the name.
[3496.00 --> 3496.60] Preaching
[3496.60 --> 3497.56] the full gospel
[3497.56 --> 3498.62] of Jesus
[3498.62 --> 3499.82] the substitutionary
[3499.82 --> 3500.24] atonement
[3500.24 --> 3501.14] and the victory
[3501.14 --> 3501.58] of God
[3501.58 --> 3502.36] the cross
[3502.36 --> 3503.26] and the crown
[3503.26 --> 3504.72] will always be
[3504.72 --> 3505.36] folly
[3505.36 --> 3506.60] and a stumbling block
[3506.60 --> 3507.26] to those who
[3507.26 --> 3508.18] don't believe
[3508.18 --> 3509.14] but to those
[3509.14 --> 3510.64] who are being saved
[3510.64 --> 3511.50] it is the power
[3511.50 --> 3512.02] of God
[3512.02 --> 3512.82] and the wisdom
[3512.82 --> 3513.32] of God.
[3514.38 --> 3515.78] Paul says in Romans
[3515.78 --> 3516.28] 1
[3516.28 --> 3517.66] I am not ashamed
[3517.66 --> 3518.46] of the gospel
[3518.46 --> 3519.70] because it is the power
[3519.70 --> 3521.12] of God unto salvation
[3521.12 --> 3522.48] for all who believe.
[3523.92 --> 3525.18] Instead of shame
[3525.18 --> 3525.90] in the cross
[3525.90 --> 3526.78] we can rejoice
[3526.78 --> 3527.96] in suffering.
[3528.80 --> 3529.52] Listen again
[3529.52 --> 3531.12] to what the scriptures say.
[3532.40 --> 3533.02] We boast
[3533.02 --> 3534.02] in the hope
[3534.02 --> 3535.28] of the glory of God.
[3535.38 --> 3536.18] That's the crown
[3536.18 --> 3537.60] not only so
[3537.60 --> 3538.70] but we also glory
[3538.70 --> 3539.76] in our sufferings
[3539.76 --> 3540.52] because we know
[3540.52 --> 3541.18] that suffering
[3541.18 --> 3542.32] produces perseverance
[3542.32 --> 3543.16] perseverance
[3543.16 --> 3543.82] character
[3543.82 --> 3544.68] and character
[3544.68 --> 3545.38] hope.
[3546.66 --> 3547.84] That's the cross.
