[3583.26 --> 3585.12] chapters in the whole Bible,
[3585.78 --> 3587.44] after showing us
[3587.44 --> 3588.46] a beautiful picture
[3588.46 --> 3589.04] of Christ,
[3589.20 --> 3589.66] it says,
[3589.78 --> 3590.14] Your attitude
[3590.14 --> 3590.94] should be the same
[3590.94 --> 3592.10] as that of Christ Jesus.
[3592.10 --> 3592.70] And then we get
[3592.70 --> 3593.38] this excellent
[3593.38 --> 3594.12] and amazing
[3594.12 --> 3595.20] Christ hymn
[3595.20 --> 3596.02] where it describes
[3596.02 --> 3597.26] how Christ emptied
[3597.26 --> 3597.82] himself.
[3599.18 --> 3600.02] He took on
[3600.02 --> 3601.02] the form,
[3601.16 --> 3602.04] the flesh
[3602.04 --> 3603.30] of a human being
[3603.30 --> 3603.94] and he became
[3603.94 --> 3604.46] obedient,
[3604.72 --> 3605.48] even obedient
[3605.48 --> 3606.32] unto death
[3606.32 --> 3607.36] on a cross.
[3608.34 --> 3609.14] And because of that,
[3609.22 --> 3610.16] God exalts him
[3610.16 --> 3611.26] to the highest place
[3611.26 --> 3611.94] that at the name
[3611.94 --> 3612.36] of Jesus
[3612.36 --> 3613.34] every knee should bow
[3613.34 --> 3614.08] and tongue confess
[3614.08 --> 3615.28] in heaven and on earth
[3615.28 --> 3615.92] and under the earth
[3615.92 --> 3616.78] that Jesus Christ
[3616.78 --> 3617.28] is Lord
[3617.28 --> 3618.16] to the glory
[3618.16 --> 3618.70] of God
[3618.70 --> 3619.54] our Father.
[3619.54 --> 3621.60] and then we read,
[3622.88 --> 3624.30] Because of this truth,
[3624.92 --> 3626.42] because of who Jesus is
[3626.42 --> 3627.62] and what he has done,
[3628.96 --> 3629.82] do everything
[3629.82 --> 3630.70] without grumbling
[3630.70 --> 3631.44] or arguing
[3631.44 --> 3632.96] so that you may become
[3632.96 --> 3634.42] blameless and pure,
[3634.90 --> 3635.82] children of God
[3635.82 --> 3636.68] without fault
[3636.68 --> 3637.32] in a warped
[3637.32 --> 3638.58] and crooked generation.
[3639.14 --> 3640.78] And then you will shine
[3640.78 --> 3641.82] like stars
[3641.82 --> 3643.08] in the sky.
[3643.46 --> 3644.12] The older way
[3644.12 --> 3644.94] of translating that
[3644.94 --> 3646.00] is then you will shine
[3646.00 --> 3646.70] like stars
[3646.70 --> 3647.34] in the universe
[3647.34 --> 3648.90] as you hold out
[3648.90 --> 3650.26] the word of life.
[3651.52 --> 3652.56] In contrast
[3652.56 --> 3655.08] to a warped
[3655.08 --> 3656.46] and crooked generation,
[3657.20 --> 3658.94] church is called out
[3658.94 --> 3660.60] to be blameless
[3660.60 --> 3661.76] and pure.
[3664.76 --> 3665.44] Picture
[3665.44 --> 3668.08] a lush,
[3668.84 --> 3669.30] vibrant,
[3669.82 --> 3670.66] beautiful
[3670.66 --> 3671.58] oasis
[3671.58 --> 3672.48] of a garden
[3672.48 --> 3673.88] in the middle
[3673.88 --> 3675.52] of a barren desert.
[3676.70 --> 3677.80] The dry,
[3678.02 --> 3678.76] cracked earth
[3678.76 --> 3679.72] surrounds it,
[3680.18 --> 3680.72] lifeless
[3680.72 --> 3681.88] and harsh,
[3682.00 --> 3682.82] but this garden
[3682.82 --> 3684.22] stands out,
[3684.36 --> 3685.42] rich in color,
[3685.82 --> 3686.80] brimming with life
[3686.80 --> 3687.48] and fruit
[3687.48 --> 3688.36] and flowers.
[3689.22 --> 3689.76] The garden
[3689.76 --> 3690.60] doesn't blend in
[3690.60 --> 3691.44] with its surroundings.
[3691.68 --> 3691.94] In fact,
[3691.98 --> 3693.04] it contrasts
[3693.04 --> 3694.10] so hard
[3694.10 --> 3695.30] with the desolation.
[3696.36 --> 3696.76] And people
[3696.76 --> 3697.84] passing by
[3697.84 --> 3699.08] can't help
[3699.08 --> 3700.02] but be drawn
[3700.02 --> 3700.94] to its beauty
[3700.94 --> 3702.40] and its nourishment.
[3702.40 --> 3705.36] our going
