[2593.34 --> 2593.72] from there
[2593.72 --> 2594.82] to a miner's cottage
[2594.82 --> 2596.04] and to a lighthouse keeper
[2596.04 --> 2597.22] and to a ship at sea.
[2597.86 --> 2598.96] And they see
[2598.96 --> 2600.00] and observe people
[2600.00 --> 2600.90] all of whom
[2600.90 --> 2603.56] have way less
[2603.56 --> 2604.50] than Scrooge
[2604.50 --> 2605.66] and by Scrooge's
[2605.66 --> 2607.00] own view of the world
[2607.00 --> 2608.58] should not be happy,
[2608.96 --> 2610.24] should not be content,
[2610.72 --> 2611.40] and yet
[2611.40 --> 2613.14] they are.
[2614.06 --> 2614.24] Right?
[2614.26 --> 2614.84] There's a sense
[2614.84 --> 2615.56] of peace
[2615.56 --> 2617.04] and contentment
[2617.04 --> 2618.32] that is compelling
[2618.32 --> 2619.58] to Scrooge,
[2619.78 --> 2620.82] although in that moment
[2620.82 --> 2623.08] yet he doesn't quite understand.
[2624.26 --> 2625.66] That sense of contentment
[2625.66 --> 2627.50] comes from the peace
[2627.50 --> 2628.82] that they have.
[2629.90 --> 2630.66] And so in the hustle
[2630.66 --> 2632.36] and bustle of Christmas
[2632.36 --> 2634.34] and as things become
[2634.34 --> 2635.38] so busy
[2635.38 --> 2636.36] this time of year
[2636.36 --> 2637.98] for so many of us
[2637.98 --> 2639.10] moving from one place
[2639.10 --> 2639.70] to another,
[2639.80 --> 2640.98] it's so easy
[2640.98 --> 2642.34] to lose sense
[2642.34 --> 2643.46] and sight
[2643.46 --> 2644.98] of that peace.
[2646.20 --> 2646.84] Now I believe
[2646.84 --> 2647.84] that we are all hungry
[2647.84 --> 2648.48] for it.
[2649.20 --> 2649.34] Right?
[2649.40 --> 2649.68] Remember
[2649.68 --> 2650.52] the description
[2650.52 --> 2651.86] of Christmas present,
[2651.96 --> 2653.08] the ghost of Christmas present?
[2653.48 --> 2654.64] Girded round its middle
[2654.64 --> 2655.90] was an antique scabbard
[2655.90 --> 2656.72] but no sword
[2656.72 --> 2657.26] was in it
[2657.26 --> 2658.46] and the ancient sheath
[2658.46 --> 2659.46] was eaten up
[2659.46 --> 2660.54] with rust.
[2661.60 --> 2662.54] There is a peace
[2662.54 --> 2664.04] that comes at Christmas
[2664.04 --> 2665.42] that makes
[2665.42 --> 2666.36] swords
[2666.36 --> 2667.62] unnecessary.
[2668.62 --> 2670.14] A sense of peace
[2670.14 --> 2671.30] that only Jesus
[2671.30 --> 2672.60] can bring.
[2673.70 --> 2674.50] We've been reading
[2674.50 --> 2675.70] from Isaiah.
[2676.18 --> 2676.96] Isaiah 2
[2676.96 --> 2678.52] we read,
[2678.52 --> 2679.66] he will judge
[2679.66 --> 2680.62] between the nations
[2680.62 --> 2681.20] and will settle
[2681.20 --> 2682.60] disputes for many peoples.
[2683.36 --> 2684.04] They will beat
[2684.04 --> 2685.02] their swords
[2685.02 --> 2686.24] into plowshares
[2686.24 --> 2687.46] and their spears
[2687.46 --> 2688.58] into pruning hooks.
[2689.36 --> 2690.22] Nation will not
[2690.22 --> 2690.90] take up sword
[2690.90 --> 2691.56] against nation
[2691.56 --> 2692.76] nor will they train
[2692.76 --> 2693.50] for war
[2693.50 --> 2694.66] anymore.
[2695.66 --> 2697.06] There's no longer
[2697.06 --> 2697.78] a need
[2697.78 --> 2698.64] for a sword
[2698.64 --> 2699.86] so the sheath
[2699.86 --> 2700.96] is covered over
[2700.96 --> 2702.14] in rust.
[2703.14 --> 2704.00] For to us
[2704.00 --> 2704.74] a child
[2704.74 --> 2705.84] is born.
[2706.76 --> 2707.26] To us
[2707.26 --> 2707.86] a son
[2707.86 --> 2708.48] is given
[2708.48 --> 2709.18] and the government
[2709.18 --> 2710.32] will be on his
[2710.32 --> 2711.02] shoulders
[2711.02 --> 2712.46] and he will be called
[2712.46 --> 2714.40] Wonderful Counselor
[2714.40 --> 2715.60] Mighty God
[2715.60 --> 2717.38] Everlasting Father
[2717.38 --> 2718.52] Prince
