[3487.16 --> 3488.96] how do I apply my life |
[3488.96 --> 3490.62] to this story? |
[3490.62 --> 3493.10] Right? |
[3493.18 --> 3494.80] Right says that it's not so much |
[3494.80 --> 3496.08] about application |
[3496.08 --> 3498.46] as it is about implication. |
[3500.04 --> 3500.20] Right? |
[3500.24 --> 3503.00] How am I implicated in this narrative |
[3503.00 --> 3504.40] which is God's story? |
[3504.92 --> 3506.80] Where does my life fit |
[3506.80 --> 3508.80] in my little piece of time |
[3508.80 --> 3510.18] on this ball of rock |
[3510.18 --> 3511.20] hurtling through space? |
[3511.40 --> 3513.62] Where does my life fit |
[3513.62 --> 3514.82] in that story? |
[3514.82 --> 3517.38] And one of the implications |
[3517.38 --> 3518.86] of this story |
[3518.86 --> 3520.82] is that we join |
[3520.82 --> 3522.38] in God's mission |
[3522.38 --> 3523.86] to witness to Him. |
[3524.50 --> 3524.74] Right? |
[3524.80 --> 3526.22] We join in God's mission |
[3526.22 --> 3528.60] to witness to His own glory. |
[3528.60 --> 3530.26] We join in God's mission |
[3530.26 --> 3531.46] to have all creation |
[3531.46 --> 3532.32] joined together |
[3532.32 --> 3533.68] in worship of Him. |
[3533.92 --> 3535.64] We join as witnesses |
[3535.64 --> 3537.00] to say, |
[3537.26 --> 3538.92] Jesus is God. |
[3538.92 --> 3543.06] In joining God's mission then, |
[3543.42 --> 3544.86] we all of a sudden |
[3544.86 --> 3547.00] find in our lives |
[3547.00 --> 3548.84] meaning and significance |
[3548.84 --> 3549.84] and purpose |
[3549.84 --> 3551.88] because we found ourselves |
[3551.88 --> 3553.64] rooted in the story |
[3553.64 --> 3554.66] of God's mission |
[3554.66 --> 3556.36] throughout all of time |
[3556.36 --> 3557.22] and space. |
[3557.34 --> 3558.56] We find ourselves part |
[3558.56 --> 3560.48] of this bigger story, |
[3560.62 --> 3561.70] bigger than we could ever |
[3561.70 --> 3562.68] have imagined, |
[3562.90 --> 3564.70] one that has been being written |
[3564.70 --> 3566.02] since before even |
[3566.02 --> 3567.06] the very creation |
[3567.06 --> 3568.10] of the world. |
[3568.10 --> 3569.98] That's the implication |
[3569.98 --> 3572.08] of joining God |
[3572.08 --> 3573.40] as a witness |
[3573.40 --> 3575.22] that you have |
[3575.22 --> 3576.16] a global, |
[3576.76 --> 3578.42] eternal purpose. |
[3579.78 --> 3581.28] And that's for you. |
[3583.88 --> 3585.08] That's part of why |
[3585.08 --> 3585.88] we root ourselves |
[3585.88 --> 3587.76] in this story. |
[3591.06 --> 3592.82] The story continues. |
[3593.20 --> 3593.84] Right in the story, |
[3593.96 --> 3594.86] Paul is transferred |
[3594.86 --> 3596.22] to Caesarea |
[3596.22 --> 3598.10] for trial under Felix. |
[3598.84 --> 3601.02] Felix is a Roman governor. |
[3601.84 --> 3602.84] And we know a fair bit |
[3602.84 --> 3603.58] about Felix |
[3603.58 --> 3604.64] from other sources. |
[3605.28 --> 3605.92] For instance, |
[3606.04 --> 3606.90] we know that he |
[3606.90 --> 3608.12] treated his subjects |
[3608.12 --> 3609.06] with disdain. |
[3609.54 --> 3610.32] We know that he was |
[3610.32 --> 3611.04] often brutal |
[3611.04 --> 3612.76] and violent with them. |
[3613.06 --> 3614.10] So much so |
[3614.10 --> 3615.28] that Rome actually |
[3615.28 --> 3616.42] recalled him |
[3616.42 --> 3617.92] back to Rome |
[3617.92 --> 3618.74] from his post |
[3618.74 --> 3619.74] in AD 59 |
[3619.74 --> 3622.06] because of constant complaints |
[3622.06 --> 3623.18] that the people |
[3623.18 --> 3623.72] under him, |
[3623.78 --> 3624.32] his subjects, |
[3624.44 --> 3625.12] the Jewish people, |
[3625.12 --> 3625.44] made. |
[3626.30 --> 3627.16] And that means |
[3627.16 --> 3628.08] it must have been |
[3628.08 --> 3628.80] pretty harsh. |
[3629.30 --> 3629.88] It must have been |
[3629.88 --> 3630.48] pretty bad |
[3630.48 --> 3631.84] for even the Romans |
[3631.84 --> 3632.28] to go, |
[3632.48 --> 3633.54] that's a bridge |
[3633.54 --> 3634.18] too far, |
[3634.62 --> 3634.84] Felix. |
[3636.48 --> 3637.66] We know also |
[3637.66 --> 3638.56] that he was corrupt. |
[3639.34 --> 3640.22] Luke even tells us |
[3640.22 --> 3640.84] that the reason |
