[2697.34 --> 2697.76] the good, |
[2697.84 --> 2698.60] and the beautiful. |
[2700.32 --> 2701.58] And as Christians, |
[2701.92 --> 2702.10] right, |
[2702.14 --> 2703.60] we know that the ultimate true, |
[2703.72 --> 2704.32] the ultimate good, |
[2704.40 --> 2705.20] the ultimate beautiful |
[2705.20 --> 2706.98] is God. |
[2708.80 --> 2709.26] Now, |
[2709.46 --> 2712.58] I would add to that conversation |
[2712.58 --> 2715.76] that the way that we have |
[2715.76 --> 2717.78] a purposive relationship |
[2717.78 --> 2718.78] to the true, |
[2718.92 --> 2719.28] the good, |
[2719.34 --> 2720.00] and the beautiful |
[2720.00 --> 2723.50] is as God reveals himself |
[2723.50 --> 2725.76] to us in his word. |
[2727.26 --> 2727.44] Now, |
[2727.58 --> 2730.34] let me be really clear with you, |
[2730.38 --> 2730.54] right, |
[2730.62 --> 2732.14] because all people, |
[2732.66 --> 2734.16] whether or not they are Christian |
[2734.16 --> 2736.90] or whether or not they call it as such, |
[2737.20 --> 2739.32] all people have a relationship |
[2739.32 --> 2740.26] to the true, |
[2740.38 --> 2740.66] the good, |
[2740.70 --> 2741.30] and the beautiful |
[2741.30 --> 2743.66] or an idea of what the ultimate true, |
[2743.80 --> 2743.98] good, |
[2744.06 --> 2745.48] and beautiful is. |
[2746.36 --> 2747.90] And as Reformed Christians, |
[2748.10 --> 2750.84] as our branch of Christianity |
[2750.84 --> 2752.96] and the Protestant stream, |
[2753.50 --> 2754.56] as Reformed Christians, |
[2755.00 --> 2757.20] we call that general sense |
[2757.20 --> 2758.12] of relationship |
[2758.12 --> 2759.02] to the true, |
[2759.14 --> 2759.30] good, |
[2759.36 --> 2759.74] and the beautiful, |
[2759.80 --> 2761.56] we call that general revelation. |
[2762.52 --> 2762.62] Right, |
[2762.70 --> 2763.74] God reveals himself |
[2763.74 --> 2764.56] to the world |
[2764.56 --> 2765.50] in the order |
[2765.50 --> 2766.62] and the majesty |
[2766.62 --> 2767.94] and the magnitude |
[2767.94 --> 2769.30] of creation. |
[2769.66 --> 2770.48] God reveals himself |
[2770.48 --> 2771.08] to the world |
[2771.08 --> 2772.02] in its beauty. |
[2774.08 --> 2774.64] But, |
[2774.98 --> 2776.46] the way that you have |
[2776.46 --> 2777.74] a purposive, |
[2778.10 --> 2778.26] right, |
[2778.44 --> 2780.20] a meaningful relationship |
[2780.20 --> 2780.90] to God, |
[2781.00 --> 2781.44] and thus, |
[2781.54 --> 2782.88] the way that we understand |
[2782.88 --> 2783.86] ultimate meaning |
[2783.86 --> 2785.36] is only by |
[2785.36 --> 2787.40] his special revelation, |
[2787.56 --> 2788.26] is only by |
[2788.26 --> 2790.34] his word, |
[2790.80 --> 2792.24] by his story. |
[2793.16 --> 2793.38] Now, |
[2793.86 --> 2794.98] I get that right now |
[2794.98 --> 2795.66] I'm at the risk |
[2795.66 --> 2796.74] of losing some of you |
[2796.74 --> 2798.42] because I'm talking |
[2798.42 --> 2799.66] philosophy and theology, |
[2799.82 --> 2800.80] and so let me just wrap that up |
[2800.80 --> 2801.58] with this point. |
[2803.34 --> 2803.82] Meaning, |
[2805.26 --> 2805.90] individual |
[2805.90 --> 2807.68] and personal, |
[2808.60 --> 2809.20] meaning, |
[2809.46 --> 2809.98] societal |
[2809.98 --> 2811.06] and collective, |
[2811.72 --> 2812.98] to not put too fine |
[2812.98 --> 2813.76] a point on it, |
[2813.94 --> 2814.04] right, |
[2814.08 --> 2815.06] the very why |
[2815.06 --> 2815.80] of life |
[2815.80 --> 2816.76] and purpose |
[2816.76 --> 2818.56] comes out of |
[2818.56 --> 2819.32] living in |
[2819.32 --> 2820.04] purposive |
[2820.04 --> 2820.92] relationship |
[2820.92 --> 2821.90] to God |
[2821.90 --> 2822.78] as the one |
[2822.78 --> 2823.84] true God |
[2823.84 --> 2824.52] and the God |
[2824.52 --> 2825.44] of truth, |
[2825.50 --> 2826.38] as the only |
[2826.38 --> 2827.46] ultimate good |
[2827.46 --> 2828.42] and the overflowing |
[2828.42 --> 2829.84] source of all good, |
[2829.94 --> 2830.66] as the most |
[2830.66 --> 2831.24] magnificent |
[2831.24 --> 2832.26] and beautiful |
