[3693.42 --> 3694.16] your vacation.
[3696.16 --> 3696.86] Being a Christian
[3696.86 --> 3698.30] will cost you
[3698.30 --> 3699.78] whatever crown
[3699.78 --> 3701.00] of fading glory
[3701.00 --> 3702.04] you are choosing
[3702.04 --> 3703.72] instead of Jesus.
[3704.72 --> 3705.92] Whatever prosperity
[3705.92 --> 3706.96] you are pursuing
[3706.96 --> 3707.96] in place of the
[3707.96 --> 3709.02] imperishable crown

[3709.90 --> 3711.04] Jesus provides.

[3719.92 --> 3720.76] your job
[3720.76 --> 3721.36] your status
[3721.36 --> 3722.12] your power
[3722.12 --> 3722.64] even if it's
[3722.64 --> 3723.52] your vacation
[3723.52 --> 3724.86] whatever it costs
[3724.86 --> 3725.24] you
[3725.24 --> 3726.66] it
[3726.66 --> 3727.80] is
[3727.80 --> 3729.04] worth it.
[3729.04 --> 3730.88] right that crown
[3730.88 --> 3732.58] that future reality
[3732.58 --> 3733.74] lived with God
[3733.74 --> 3734.26] in Jesus
[3734.26 --> 3735.28] face to face
[3735.28 --> 3736.20] is really
[3736.20 --> 3736.90] truly
[3736.90 --> 3737.94] eternally
[3737.94 --> 3738.96] worth it.
[3740.72 --> 3741.90] The cross
[3741.90 --> 3743.22] and the crown
[3743.22 --> 3745.16] they come together
[3745.16 --> 3745.92] in the life
[3745.92 --> 3746.34] death
[3746.34 --> 3746.98] resurrection
[3746.98 --> 3747.92] and exaltation
[3747.92 --> 3749.06] of Jesus
[3749.06 --> 3750.52] and do not be
[3750.52 --> 3751.14] surprised
[3751.14 --> 3752.84] when it is so
[3752.84 --> 3753.54] for you
[3753.54 --> 3754.54] too.
[3754.54 --> 3757.52] if you are
[3757.52 --> 3757.98] insulted
[3757.98 --> 3758.62] because of the
[3758.62 --> 3759.24] name of Christ
[3759.24 --> 3760.14] you are
[3760.14 --> 3760.84] blessed.
[3761.02 --> 3761.48] Do you believe
[3761.48 --> 3762.30] that this morning?
[3763.02 --> 3764.18] If you suffer
[3764.18 --> 3765.14] as a Christian
[3765.14 --> 3766.32] do not be ashamed
[3766.32 --> 3767.68] but praise God
[3767.68 --> 3768.38] that you bear
[3768.38 --> 3768.80] that name.
[3768.90 --> 3769.68] Can you do that
[3769.68 --> 3770.64] this morning?
[3772.68 --> 3773.20] Remember
[3773.20 --> 3774.14] the very words
[3774.14 --> 3774.68] of Jesus
[3774.68 --> 3775.78] Jesus who says
[3775.78 --> 3777.20] blessed are you
[3777.20 --> 3777.96] when people
[3777.96 --> 3778.84] insult you
[3778.84 --> 3779.92] and persecute you
[3779.92 --> 3780.62] and falsely say
[3780.62 --> 3781.50] all kinds of evil
[3781.50 --> 3781.98] against you
[3781.98 --> 3782.60] because of me
[3782.60 --> 3784.16] rejoice and be glad
[3784.16 --> 3785.00] because great
[3785.00 --> 3786.22] is your reward
[3786.22 --> 3786.94] in heaven
[3786.94 --> 3787.52] the cross
[3787.52 --> 3788.34] and the crown
[3788.34 --> 3788.70] again
[3788.70 --> 3790.12] for in the same way
[3790.12 --> 3791.00] they persecuted
[3791.00 --> 3791.70] the prophets
[3791.70 --> 3792.92] who were before you.
[3793.52 --> 3794.74] The glory of the cross
[3794.74 --> 3795.72] and the glory
[3795.72 --> 3796.40] of the crown
[3796.40 --> 3798.66] in that order.
