WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.970 --> 00:00:07.090 Bruce Schuchard: Greetings everyone. It's a pleasure to be with you again, 2 00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:12.139 Bruce Schuchard: so that we can spend some additional time with the last of the Apostles. 3 00:00:12.150 --> 00:00:13.270 Bruce Schuchard: Oh, 4 00:00:13.570 --> 00:00:14.880 Bruce Schuchard: it's um! 5 00:00:15.060 --> 00:00:23.530 Bruce Schuchard: My favorite apostle! They are possible, John, but this time we're going to be spending some time with one of his epistles. 6 00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:28.300 Bruce Schuchard: Uh, specifically, we're going to be looking at. Uh first, John, 7 00:00:28.410 --> 00:00:31.139 Bruce Schuchard: The luxury text is actually, 8 00:00:31.150 --> 00:00:35.470 Bruce Schuchard: uh, just three verses: Chapter three verses, one to three. 9 00:00:36.150 --> 00:00:51.069 Bruce Schuchard: Those are outstanding verses that I look forward to talking about with this session. Ah, but for the sake of perhaps a little more practice with the freak of the New Testament, I've Ah thought that it might be a good idea for us to include 10 00:00:51.080 --> 00:01:01.249 Bruce Schuchard: some time spent with immediately prior context. We'll take a look at You can see the my luggage screen. I hope 11 00:01:01.820 --> 00:01:11.389 Bruce Schuchard: front of you. We're going to start with Chapter two versus twenty, six to twenty, nine, 12 00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:13.270 Bruce Schuchard: Yeah, yes, nine. 13 00:01:13.730 --> 00:01:26.419 Bruce Schuchard: Ah, that'll give us a chance to say a little bit more. Ah, do a little bit more. Ah! Keep working on our Greek. Ah, keep working on specific aspects of our skill with the Greek. 14 00:01:26.490 --> 00:01:29.579 Bruce Schuchard: Uh, as we also attend to 15 00:01:29.620 --> 00:01:36.229 Bruce Schuchard: the message of John coming to us from this extraordinary letter regarding that letter, 16 00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:52.700 Bruce Schuchard: you may know that I've had a chance to write a commentary on the Epistles of John for the Concordia Commentary Series. I'd. Like to preface our consideration of the text that we'll be looking at the verses that we'll be looking at today 17 00:01:52.710 --> 00:02:03.009 Bruce Schuchard: with a little time spent with a a few paragraphs from that commentary. I'm. Referring to pages two hundred and eighty, six and two hundred and eighty seven. If you've seen that 18 00:02:03.300 --> 00:02:07.690 Bruce Schuchard: um, or if you've seen the commentary, and you have it with you, 19 00:02:07.740 --> 00:02:10.470 Bruce Schuchard: then you can consult it yourself. 20 00:02:10.810 --> 00:02:16.280 Bruce Schuchard: Uh. But here's us a few concluding thoughts that the commentary offers, and 21 00:02:18.510 --> 00:02:27.110 Bruce Schuchard: in its analysis of these verses a few concluding and observations regarding the message of this letter. They go something like this 22 00:02:27.730 --> 00:02:29.689 Bruce Schuchard: on page two hundred and eighty-six 23 00:02:29.700 --> 00:02:33.979 Bruce Schuchard: the absolutes with which John operates in his letter 24 00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.120 in all of his letters, 25 00:02:37.220 --> 00:02:41.039 Bruce Schuchard: can be hard for modern people to hear moderns 26 00:02:41.100 --> 00:02:45.379 Bruce Schuchard: in a Western world in which rampant individualism 27 00:02:45.390 --> 00:03:04.709 Bruce Schuchard: it serves only to scope, the fire of an increasingly extraordinary pluralism, racism, and fracture, where this option or that, and coming and going, are as common and experience as are the rising and the setting of the sun, taking John seriously, can be a challenge for modern years. 28 00:03:04.720 --> 00:03:11.189 Bruce Schuchard: Yet John Brooks, neither a false kind of tolerance nor just muddled or lazy thinking 29 00:03:11.480 --> 00:03:13.190 Bruce Schuchard: where one comes from, 30 00:03:13.210 --> 00:03:33.199 Bruce Schuchard: what one believes matters from everlasting to everlasting. So John reminds his children in these letters in these letters again of what they dare not lose, of a rule of faith that they have heard from the beginning, that defines the necessary difference between faith and unbelief. 31 00:03:33.210 --> 00:03:36.750 Bruce Schuchard: For all God's anointed ones. That's you and me. 32 00:03:38.050 --> 00:03:55.520 Bruce Schuchard: This rule centering on the stumbling block, which is the person in the work of the man Jesus alerts one to the eschatological signs of the last hour of Christ and Antichrist on the field of battle, which is the field of our world, 33 00:03:55.530 --> 00:04:00.499 Bruce Schuchard: which is the field of the great tribulation which is our present evil age. 34 00:04:01.030 --> 00:04:16.269 Bruce Schuchard: I ins I insert a couple of thing ideas of the now and not the not yet. That's That's John's focus, so that all might know full well the implications of abiding or not abiding, 35 00:04:16.550 --> 00:04:25.459 Bruce Schuchard: of confessing or denying, so that all in Christ might abide in what they have been blessed to have and to hold. 36 00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:30.690 Bruce Schuchard: So John reminds his children that what he is telling them is what they have heard from the beginning. 37 00:04:30.790 --> 00:04:35.030 Bruce Schuchard: What they have is necessary. What they have is sufficient. 38 00:04:35.820 --> 00:04:44.819 Bruce Schuchard: He warns against every alien influence that threatens to deceive the faithful into abandoning either the Spirit or His teaching. 39 00:04:44.890 --> 00:04:55.030 Bruce Schuchard: This Spirit remains in the faithful, and must continue to do so, if any are to have the Father through what the Son is and gives. 40 00:04:55.040 --> 00:05:06.599 Bruce Schuchard: This is precisely why John later warns against the influence of the many false prophets who have gone out into the world. Ah! He speaks to these in chapter four verse: one 41 00:05:06.900 --> 00:05:22.630 Bruce Schuchard: why he urges his own to test the Spirits chapter four verses, one to six, and why he continually points to the role of the eyewitnesses and their successors in passing on the truths that they have received. 42 00:05:23.990 --> 00:05:29.089 Bruce Schuchard: Now he's thinking of those who continue to serve as shepherds. 43 00:05:29.200 --> 00:05:38.889 Bruce Schuchard: Those who continue to have the responsibility of proclaiming Jesus from the office of the pastoral ministry, that Christ is instituted in this world 44 00:05:39.500 --> 00:05:55.730 Bruce Schuchard: just for this purpose, while the spirit is the one that teaches all things. The spirit does not do so in a vacuum, but instead works through means, the means of grace, including human means. Ah! Since humans serve in all of this 45 00:05:55.780 --> 00:06:00.819 Bruce Schuchard: uh to proclaim that word uh, and to administer the sacraments. 46 00:06:01.670 --> 00:06:17.850 Bruce Schuchard: Therefore, when John writes that you have no need that anyone should teach you. He does not mean that his hearers have never needed any teachers, for he himself, he himself, John, was, and continues to be their teacher. 47 00:06:17.890 --> 00:06:25.029 Bruce Schuchard: They do not now suddenly require or require a new kind of teaching. That's John's point, 48 00:06:25.340 --> 00:06:30.290 Bruce Schuchard: especially if it is the one that affected the thinking and the contact 49 00:06:30.300 --> 00:06:38.920 Bruce Schuchard: conduct of the secession is those who have departed the faith of a recent experience of John and his contemporaries. 50 00:06:38.930 --> 00:06:56.339 Bruce Schuchard: Um, Hopefully this kind of Stokes. Ah, for us our consideration of the forces that we're going to be looking at. We'll start here with John. Ah, first John, Chapter two of verse twenty, six. I'll use my cursor 51 00:06:56.350 --> 00:07:05.109 Bruce Schuchard: with the logo screen to to call attention to where we are in the text, so that you can follow along tauta. 52 00:07:05.310 --> 00:07:20.029 Bruce Schuchard: These things the demonstrative pronoun aircraft's ah form of the verb graffo right? I hover over the word, and the Wagos. Ah software opens up a window. Ah! To the lower left, 53 00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:33.879 Bruce Schuchard: where we see that the form in in the text is a form of grapho heist, indicative, active, first person singular. These things declares John. I have written humid to you 54 00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:45.800 Bruce Schuchard: the pere concerning tone, pla- noon tone humas concerning those who are purposing to deceive you 55 00:07:46.200 --> 00:07:48.920 Bruce Schuchard: he's thinking of the false prophets of this world. 56 00:07:49.070 --> 00:08:08.729 Bruce Schuchard: He's thinking of the many ideologies of this world that teach to us, you know, or or attempt to. To. You know, sway us. Ah! With the suggestion of ah assurances and certainties that are ah in point of fact, of falsehoods and deceptions, 57 00:08:08.780 --> 00:08:17.099 Bruce Schuchard: those who are attempting to, and for purposes to deceive you. Pl. A known tone as a participant. 58 00:08:17.140 --> 00:08:26.460 Bruce Schuchard: Right? We hover over it. The little window conserves. Ah, ah! Confirms this plan. Own tone is a form of plan, 59 00:08:27.460 --> 00:08:33.709 Bruce Schuchard: a present. The stem is not changed. Present stem part is simple, 60 00:08:33.730 --> 00:08:46.680 Bruce Schuchard: active, masculine, plural, genitive. Notice the article that immediately proceeds actually be sure, with part of simple, to notice quickly whether that article proceeds or not, 61 00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:51.660 Bruce Schuchard: a little review regarding participles, and how we resolve them. 62 00:08:51.770 --> 00:09:02.980 Bruce Schuchard: Ah, yes, the article immediately proceeds, What does the presence of the article tell you? The article tells you that the participle is an attributive position. 63 00:09:03.160 --> 00:09:13.040 Bruce Schuchard: Noticing that all right up right away helps you see right away that the article is functioning either adjectively as an adjective. 64 00:09:13.280 --> 00:09:17.480 Bruce Schuchard: It's functioning substantively as a noun. 65 00:09:17.860 --> 00:09:34.180 Bruce Schuchard: Ah, that's what attributed position participants? Do they don't do other things? So, noticing position right away, noticing the article right away, tells you right away that this is either adjectival or substantival. 66 00:09:34.190 --> 00:09:47.039 Bruce Schuchard: Ah to to you know, determine whether it's one or the other. We look for masculine plural genetic things in the immediate context of the part of simple outside the part of simple in the article. 67 00:09:47.290 --> 00:10:01.050 Bruce Schuchard: Ah! Because then a context might be specifying the reference of the part of simple a person or a thing doing the action of the deceiving. We look around in verse twenty-six to leave the sentence 68 00:10:01.060 --> 00:10:02.030 Bruce Schuchard: right 69 00:10:02.040 --> 00:10:09.039 Bruce Schuchard: We notice right away that there's nothing else besides the part of simple, and it's It's article. 70 00:10:09.100 --> 00:10:21.200 Bruce Schuchard: Ah! In the sentence that is masculine and plural and genitive, and so the part of the cart sele has no reference. If it has no reference, it's not adjectival 71 00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:36.330 Bruce Schuchard: the attributive position party simple. Instead, it's substantiable. We translate as though the participants were renowned. I I have I have written these things to you concerning those who 72 00:10:36.790 --> 00:10:40.689 Bruce Schuchard: purposes, or attempting to deceive you. 73 00:10:40.700 --> 00:10:42.250 Bruce Schuchard: Whoas 74 00:10:43.260 --> 00:10:50.450 Bruce Schuchard: it's functions as a noun Here it functions as the object of the preposition 75 00:10:50.590 --> 00:10:52.540 Bruce Schuchard: verse twenty-seven 76 00:10:52.830 --> 00:11:04.879 Bruce Schuchard: Chihuahu base. And you use Guys plural. Where is the verb? There It is a many 77 00:11:05.140 --> 00:11:08.730 Bruce Schuchard: Okay, The main verb, that is. And you 78 00:11:13.880 --> 00:11:16.420 Bruce Schuchard: actually i'm getting i'm saying that wrong. 79 00:11:24.390 --> 00:11:28.589 Bruce Schuchard: Sorry um! And you plural 80 00:11:28.970 --> 00:11:35.029 Bruce Schuchard: talk Charisma, the chrism, the anointing right. And then follows the 81 00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:40.360 Bruce Schuchard: a relative clause introduced with Ha! 82 00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:43.859 Bruce Schuchard: That which you have received from him. 83 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:45.930 Bruce Schuchard: Ah, it 84 00:11:47.700 --> 00:11:48.970 Bruce Schuchard: Ah, 85 00:11:51.800 --> 00:12:11.580 Bruce Schuchard: yeah, you is pendant. You is fronted and hanging, and it anticipates the reference to you again with humas. Notice the Esv. But the anointing that you received from him that anointing abides in you. 86 00:12:13.730 --> 00:12:15.870 Bruce Schuchard: It's pendant like that. 87 00:12:16.500 --> 00:12:18.000 Bruce Schuchard: Um 88 00:12:21.090 --> 00:12:22.109 Bruce Schuchard: it's it's it's it's it's it's it's, it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's, it's, it's, it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's 89 00:12:27.250 --> 00:12:28.600 Bruce Schuchard: I asked. 90 00:12:28.930 --> 00:12:31.220 Bruce Schuchard: So is to Charisma, 91 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:51.159 Bruce Schuchard: ah that you know who we want to talk about, use guys and what we want to talk about the chrism of the Spirit, the anointing of the spirit that the believer receives when the believer is born from above Board of God. This is the the addresses that John wants to talk about 92 00:12:51.170 --> 00:13:02.299 Bruce Schuchard: the and the matter of prime importance that John wants to talk about. Use guys as regards the chrism to Charisma 93 00:13:02.380 --> 00:13:06.590 Bruce Schuchard: ha! And Lavater up out to the 94 00:13:06.670 --> 00:13:11.220 Bruce Schuchard: which you have received from him. Jesus 95 00:13:11.580 --> 00:13:27.140 Bruce Schuchard: Ah! From prior context we know that the reference about two is Jesus. Ah! Previously I think it is in verse twenty. It's already been indicated that the chrism is given by Jesus. The chrism has been received 96 00:13:27.150 --> 00:13:34.540 Bruce Schuchard: by those who believe the addresses of the letter who are believing persons from Jesus. 97 00:13:34.550 --> 00:13:36.480 Bruce Schuchard: Ah, Ill 98 00:13:36.620 --> 00:13:51.030 Bruce Schuchard: charisma is what John wants to talk about the relative pronoun functions in usual terms adjectivally to say more about the chrism. So ha! Is Luder, because Tak charisma is neutered, 99 00:13:51.060 --> 00:13:54.290 Bruce Schuchard: her elaborate up out to 100 00:13:54.510 --> 00:14:02.280 Bruce Schuchard: the chrism which you have received from him. Many it the namely, the Chrism, 101 00:14:02.430 --> 00:14:04.670 Bruce Schuchard: abides in you. 102 00:14:06.050 --> 00:14:07.360 Bruce Schuchard: Ah! 103 00:14:07.610 --> 00:14:09.400 Bruce Schuchard: And you men, 104 00:14:10.780 --> 00:14:14.880 Bruce Schuchard: Kai ouhray on Akhet, and you are not a 105 00:14:15.210 --> 00:14:18.260 Bruce Schuchard: having a 106 00:14:18.550 --> 00:14:22.099 Bruce Schuchard: a a on a need 107 00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:24.569 Bruce Schuchard: in order that 108 00:14:24.870 --> 00:14:36.649 Bruce Schuchard: Hannah of purpose. Ah! Whenever you see an unchecked purpose. First, because you know the vast majority of Hannah Clauses are purpose clauses. That's a that's a handy little general rule. 109 00:14:36.990 --> 00:14:49.210 Bruce Schuchard: You are not having a need in order that or that a certain person might teach you to do. 110 00:14:49.420 --> 00:14:51.220 Bruce Schuchard: Ah, 111 00:14:52.170 --> 00:14:57.670 Bruce Schuchard: yeah, you don't need more teaching if the if the chrism has already taught you 112 00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:07.289 Bruce Schuchard: what the chrism teaches is fundamentally necessary and solely sufficient. As regards the needs of the believing person, 113 00:15:07.300 --> 00:15:16.320 Bruce Schuchard: You have the chrism, and you have what you need. You have the chrism, and you know what you need to know. You have the chrism, and you've been taught. 114 00:15:16.490 --> 00:15:21.770 Bruce Schuchard: You have the chrism, and there is no other need for you to be taught 115 00:15:21.880 --> 00:15:28.529 Bruce Schuchard: apart from what the chrism the Spirit teaches through the means of grace. 116 00:15:29.060 --> 00:15:37.830 Bruce Schuchard: Um, no need that I I suppose another possibility for Hannah is that Hannah could be an epic sheetical, you know. 117 00:15:38.220 --> 00:15:54.430 Bruce Schuchard: Um explaining the um. Ah, the need. Those are your two available options. In either case the meaning is clear. If you have the Krina, the the charisma, you have what you need. 118 00:15:54.870 --> 00:16:02.219 Bruce Schuchard: You have no need that anyone else should teach you anything. Instead, you 119 00:16:03.060 --> 00:16:08.720 Bruce Schuchard: posts taught out to Charisma Dedasque from us 120 00:16:08.820 --> 00:16:14.130 Bruce Schuchard: the chrysm, his Chrism, Jesus chrism! The 121 00:16:14.150 --> 00:16:34.119 Bruce Schuchard: ah is teaching you. Ah! Or he might even be historical present has taught you he mosqu, concerning Ah, everyone and everything. Harriet Pantone, you know Pontone could be masculine. It could be feminine, it could be neuter. 122 00:16:34.250 --> 00:16:43.670 Bruce Schuchard: Ah! The Esp translates with everything as his anointing teaches you about everything. 123 00:16:43.920 --> 00:16:45.250 Bruce Schuchard: Um! 124 00:16:45.370 --> 00:16:57.379 Bruce Schuchard: That just might be neuter here, so that pontoon can refer to everyone and everything. Chi ali thes s ten and is true 125 00:16:57.500 --> 00:17:00.410 Bruce Schuchard: right. The teaching of the chrism 126 00:17:00.590 --> 00:17:07.870 Bruce Schuchard: kai-uk es ten pseudos, and is not false, is no lie. 127 00:17:08.270 --> 00:17:12.229 Bruce Schuchard: Notice how he's kind of hammering away at this 128 00:17:12.420 --> 00:17:21.070 Bruce Schuchard: the absolute necessity and soul sufficiency of the prism, and what the chrism teaches through the means of grace. 129 00:17:21.150 --> 00:17:31.780 Bruce Schuchard: These things must be known by us. These most things must be learned by us, or we learn not what's absolutely necessary for the human person. 130 00:17:31.810 --> 00:17:39.749 Bruce Schuchard: Kai kathose a did aks and humoss just as it or he has taught you 131 00:17:40.170 --> 00:17:43.969 Bruce Schuchard: a man at an auto 132 00:17:44.150 --> 00:17:51.700 Bruce Schuchard: here. The form of Meno is probably an imperative, though it could also be an indicative. 133 00:17:51.940 --> 00:17:53.220 Bruce Schuchard: Ah, 134 00:17:54.090 --> 00:17:56.769 Bruce Schuchard: the Esp probably has it right, 135 00:17:57.070 --> 00:18:08.679 Bruce Schuchard: Paul urges all who believe urges his addresses to Ah, abide in Jesus. Ah! To abide in these things of the Spirit 136 00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:13.269 Bruce Schuchard: for these things of the Spirit in Jesus Himself, 137 00:18:13.460 --> 00:18:15.399 Bruce Schuchard: our spirit in life. 138 00:18:16.050 --> 00:18:22.499 Bruce Schuchard: By means of these things alone do we live by means of these things alone? 139 00:18:22.610 --> 00:18:30.150 Bruce Schuchard: Is it possible for what defines him to define of us? Right. Ch. Noon. 140 00:18:30.740 --> 00:18:45.159 Bruce Schuchard: And now a technique of evocative children. Little children is also possible. It is a diminutive of, 141 00:18:49.490 --> 00:18:56.260 Bruce Schuchard: but it could be also here that the diminutive is just a synonym for technon and evocative 142 00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:09.279 Bruce Schuchard: children. And now so now, children, he says it again, men at abide in him in Jesus, you know, 143 00:19:09.920 --> 00:19:16.569 Bruce Schuchard: get rid of that highlighting, in order that at on phenoty 144 00:19:16.670 --> 00:19:19.800 Bruce Schuchard: uh that on takes the subjunctive 145 00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:29.200 Bruce Schuchard: that on plus a formal phenomenon, we hover over the over the word, so it can 146 00:19:29.610 --> 00:19:35.159 Bruce Schuchard: be parsed for us, and identified for us in the window that appears below 147 00:19:35.240 --> 00:19:42.550 Bruce Schuchard: it's, an it's an you notice the theta ada it's an heiress passage subjunctive of fun. A row. 148 00:19:42.600 --> 00:19:45.710 Bruce Schuchard: Um! But if you click this word 149 00:19:45.840 --> 00:19:51.449 Bruce Schuchard: the dump, that is to say, if you double click it, and the lexicon opens up the 150 00:19:51.530 --> 00:19:54.590 Bruce Schuchard: you'll find with the provided 151 00:19:54.830 --> 00:19:56.899 Bruce Schuchard: lexical entry 152 00:19:57.120 --> 00:20:01.409 Bruce Schuchard: that is sometimes transitive in the passive 153 00:20:01.420 --> 00:20:02.520 Bruce Schuchard: Uh-huh. 154 00:20:02.770 --> 00:20:10.280 Bruce Schuchard: Sometimes intransitive. If it's transitive, then it's fully passive, has been made manifest. 155 00:20:10.730 --> 00:20:19.280 Bruce Schuchard: If it's intransitive, then it's not fully passive. Instead, it's active in meaning 156 00:20:19.800 --> 00:20:26.930 Bruce Schuchard: for more. See my commentary for more. See a lot of additional discussion and detail 157 00:20:26.940 --> 00:20:29.539 in the commentary. 158 00:20:29.590 --> 00:20:47.170 Bruce Schuchard: Ah, there's something to be said for the idea that John intends find a rubble in this letter of his to be consistently transitive rather than intransited. So you'll see as a translational option in order that when he has been made manifest, 159 00:20:47.610 --> 00:20:49.110 Bruce Schuchard: Ok, 160 00:20:49.120 --> 00:20:50.140 Bruce Schuchard: Hmm. 161 00:20:50.760 --> 00:20:56.049 Bruce Schuchard: The Esv. Gives the intransitive, so that when he appears 162 00:20:56.710 --> 00:21:01.880 Bruce Schuchard: In either case the meaning is reasonably clear. It's mostly a question of 163 00:21:03.250 --> 00:21:10.819 Bruce Schuchard: the pattern usual use in an apparent possible sense of the verb and the passing peer for John. 164 00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:13.310 Bruce Schuchard: We'll have more of this 165 00:21:13.320 --> 00:21:15.240 Bruce Schuchard: as we proceed. 166 00:21:15.310 --> 00:21:20.319 Bruce Schuchard: More about that in just a second. But notice on 167 00:21:20.680 --> 00:21:22.899 Bruce Schuchard: with the subjunctive here. 168 00:21:22.940 --> 00:21:35.509 Bruce Schuchard: Ah, and notice the translational choice given by the Esd, you know on sometimes means, if ever or often means, if ever. 169 00:21:36.700 --> 00:21:40.630 Bruce Schuchard: But here, that's not very um, you know kind of 170 00:21:42.620 --> 00:21:43.990 Bruce Schuchard: likely 171 00:21:44.350 --> 00:21:47.390 Bruce Schuchard: uh John isn't saying, if 172 00:21:47.570 --> 00:21:57.100 Bruce Schuchard: he appears with the coming of the night, yet he's sing when sometimes it on means when and when it does, that 173 00:21:57.220 --> 00:21:59.069 Bruce Schuchard: is, is, uh 174 00:21:59.320 --> 00:22:02.240 Bruce Schuchard: dependent significantly on context 175 00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:10.419 Bruce Schuchard: coming in chapter three that makes this reasonably clear. John Doesn't mean, if you, 176 00:22:10.590 --> 00:22:14.869 Bruce Schuchard: when he's talking about the power of Zia of Jesus. He means when 177 00:22:15.030 --> 00:22:19.299 Bruce Schuchard: so you get that with the Esp, and that's a consequential thing 178 00:22:22.020 --> 00:22:26.060 Bruce Schuchard: when, rather than if, when he appears 179 00:22:26.220 --> 00:22:33.950 Bruce Schuchard: so, you know. And now children abide in it, in him 180 00:22:35.910 --> 00:22:38.170 Bruce Schuchard: and in his chrism, 181 00:22:38.530 --> 00:22:48.060 Bruce Schuchard: in order that when he appears in it takes the subjunctive skullman, which is of the verb echo. See that? 182 00:22:48.190 --> 00:22:54.050 Bruce Schuchard: Let's run this up a little bit, so we can see the rest of the conclusion of Chapter two 183 00:22:54.170 --> 00:23:01.870 Bruce Schuchard: order that when he appears we might have par a zit on confidence. That 184 00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:18.510 Bruce Schuchard: Okay. Ah, yeah, echo Hexo S. Han, The first three principal parts of Echo, so that you can see why Scholman is an hearest subjective of echo 185 00:23:18.820 --> 00:23:21.680 Bruce Schuchard: in order that we might have 186 00:23:22.070 --> 00:23:34.520 Bruce Schuchard: uh Paris on confidence, Chi may ice cream in another subjunctive. So you've got a you know two verbs 187 00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:45.019 Bruce Schuchard: late by Kai, both of them governed by Hannah, in order that we might have and not be put to shame, 188 00:23:45.320 --> 00:23:52.710 Bruce Schuchard: we should double-click this one to see with the lexical entry for ice, Kuno, 189 00:23:52.850 --> 00:24:05.309 Bruce Schuchard: that that Ah, yeah, this is true of fun. And Ah, it's also true of pace huno the verb when it's passive. Notice the theta the theta omega 190 00:24:05.340 --> 00:24:07.939 Bruce Schuchard: uh with the error subjunctive 191 00:24:08.190 --> 00:24:15.059 Bruce Schuchard: um. The theta tells you that it's passive right um 192 00:24:15.530 --> 00:24:33.550 Bruce Schuchard: the lexical entry helps us see that sometimes Ice Cuno in the passive is also transitive, and sometimes also intransitive. You get both for definitions of the meeting of the passive. In fact, you notice at the very beginning of the entry for the world, 193 00:24:33.560 --> 00:24:52.809 Bruce Schuchard: that in our literature Ah! That is the literature of this period, both canonical and non-canonical in the Greco-roman world. That is, the verb appears in the literature only in the middle and in the past, if not in the active well that should already alert us to the likelihood 194 00:24:52.820 --> 00:25:04.799 Bruce Schuchard: that the passive can be, and will be, sometimes transitive, sometimes intransitive. When intransitive. The verb describes a sense of shame, 195 00:25:05.070 --> 00:25:09.879 Bruce Schuchard: you know, feeling, as you know, ashamed of 196 00:25:10.320 --> 00:25:11.920 Bruce Schuchard: a or 197 00:25:12.950 --> 00:25:15.880 Bruce Schuchard: there it is again to experience shame, 198 00:25:15.910 --> 00:25:21.110 Bruce Schuchard: or the verb can refer to a transitive action, 199 00:25:22.310 --> 00:25:28.340 Bruce Schuchard: so so that the verb is is both passive and form, and fully passive and meaning. 200 00:25:28.520 --> 00:25:36.120 Bruce Schuchard: It can refer to a being put to shame or being made to experience shame. Both are possible. 201 00:25:36.800 --> 00:25:37.880 Bruce Schuchard: Um, 202 00:25:38.250 --> 00:25:42.779 Bruce Schuchard: yeah, in order that we might have and not be. 203 00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:45.340 Bruce Schuchard: How does the esp do this? 204 00:25:45.350 --> 00:25:46.850 Going back to that. 205 00:25:47.510 --> 00:25:48.960 Bruce Schuchard: Ah! 206 00:25:53.510 --> 00:25:59.919 Bruce Schuchard: Not shrink from him in shame that you know the Esp is taking the verb is in transitive, 207 00:26:00.590 --> 00:26:04.860 Bruce Schuchard: not experience the shame of shame. 208 00:26:05.120 --> 00:26:06.390 Bruce Schuchard: I 209 00:26:10.270 --> 00:26:11.550 Bruce Schuchard: look at the target 210 00:26:13.400 --> 00:26:19.970 Bruce Schuchard: from him up out to ante Parosia, out to 211 00:26:20.310 --> 00:26:27.440 Bruce Schuchard: at the time of his Parmesan. When he comes again when he comes again. Well, we will we, 212 00:26:28.470 --> 00:26:31.519 Bruce Schuchard: you know, experience the shame of the godless, 213 00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:34.819 or when it comes again? 214 00:26:36.050 --> 00:26:39.390 Bruce Schuchard: Well, we hear him say, you know 215 00:26:41.280 --> 00:26:43.950 Bruce Schuchard: well done, good and faithful servant, 216 00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:45.750 Bruce Schuchard: right 217 00:26:47.260 --> 00:27:03.280 Bruce Schuchard: to be assured of the latter experience, and not the former experience. We abide in Him. We abide in His wisdom. We live for the sake of Him, and for the sake of the things that the Spirit teaches through the Spirits anointing through the means of grace, 218 00:27:03.300 --> 00:27:12.120 Bruce Schuchard: we live for the sake of these things we trust in Jesus for these things, and what what results is the assurance of 219 00:27:12.540 --> 00:27:20.299 Bruce Schuchard: an outcome? That will be? That will be so with the return of Jesus at the time of his 220 00:27:20.780 --> 00:27:27.139 Bruce Schuchard: Uh. Then blessing comes with a return of Jesus rather than something else. Right? 221 00:27:27.550 --> 00:27:28.860 Bruce Schuchard: Ah! 222 00:27:28.890 --> 00:27:30.630 Bruce Schuchard: Verse twenty-nine 223 00:27:30.890 --> 00:27:33.640 Bruce Schuchard: that on a data 224 00:27:33.760 --> 00:27:38.059 Bruce Schuchard: a data is of the verb, Oida, the 225 00:27:38.070 --> 00:27:46.040 Bruce Schuchard: yeah, perfect, subjective, active second person plural. If you know that 226 00:27:46.530 --> 00:27:47.990 Bruce Schuchard: hearty 227 00:27:48.700 --> 00:28:05.190 Bruce Schuchard: ah of indirect discourse, if you know that as ten to kios if you know that he is righteous. Can Oscar Ted, you know another hutty of indirect discourse. 228 00:28:05.330 --> 00:28:07.610 Bruce Schuchard: You know that 229 00:28:12.990 --> 00:28:16.620 Bruce Schuchard: just kind of pausing to to ponder. 230 00:28:22.250 --> 00:28:23.670 Bruce Schuchard: I 231 00:28:24.620 --> 00:28:30.420 Bruce Schuchard: we would probably say you. You also know that. 232 00:28:30.970 --> 00:28:43.529 Bruce Schuchard: But here gnos get to hot. A chi just might mean, you know, that you know also, or even pas harpoon, 233 00:28:43.570 --> 00:28:48.989 Bruce Schuchard: the one who does Tane. Dick, I assume that 234 00:28:49.080 --> 00:28:53.059 Bruce Schuchard: righteousness get getting a tie You, 235 00:28:53.070 --> 00:28:59.440 Bruce Schuchard: The the perfect passive of Ganapo has been born ex out of him 236 00:29:00.210 --> 00:29:05.510 Bruce Schuchard: again. This you know, kind of recall some statements previously previously made, 237 00:29:05.720 --> 00:29:15.229 Bruce Schuchard: and prior immediately prior context there. The birth that we received from Jesus has already received some attention. 238 00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:31.929 Bruce Schuchard: Why, Don't, we to make a pas harpoon past the adjective, all, all whole, every those are the options typically with pause, followed by an article and a partisan again. 239 00:29:32.010 --> 00:29:47.520 Bruce Schuchard: Ah! If we notice right away, that the part of simple is preceded by an article modified by an article, and passes an adjective modifying the articular partisan over here, we notice again, 240 00:29:47.530 --> 00:30:08.409 Bruce Schuchard: ah, that the attributed position of particle is either adjective or substantive, or we look to see if within the hutty clause. Another thing is masculine, singular, and nominative. It can be serving as the reference we don't find such a thing. The participle has no reference. So again, the part of simple is substantial. 241 00:30:08.450 --> 00:30:10.469 Bruce Schuchard: It's functioning as a noun. 242 00:30:10.650 --> 00:30:15.080 Bruce Schuchard: If you know that he is righteous, you know 243 00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:20.440 Bruce Schuchard: that everyone who does righteousness has been born of him 244 00:30:21.460 --> 00:30:25.879 Bruce Schuchard: does what is, does mean here poison 245 00:30:26.140 --> 00:30:32.010 Bruce Schuchard: the one who does righteousness is the one who lives for the sake of righteousness, 246 00:30:33.060 --> 00:30:55.459 Bruce Schuchard: who takes the heart and believes that Jesus righteousness becomes our righteousness when we uh respond Him, and faith and trust in His promises by grace, through faith, His righteousness, That which defines Him defines us. It becomes our righteousness uh, not by works, but by grace, through faith, is such a thing, so 247 00:30:55.470 --> 00:30:59.169 Bruce Schuchard: of him means this: his right, the 248 00:30:59.710 --> 00:31:01.720 Bruce Schuchard: who he is, 249 00:31:02.120 --> 00:31:09.419 Bruce Schuchard: defines who we are, as is he, so are we. 250 00:31:09.490 --> 00:31:24.590 Bruce Schuchard: Ah, that's what it means to believe and trust in Him. That's what it means to be blessed by His chrism, by this, by by the spirit. Ah, by the spirit that teaches us these truths the truths of what it means for Jesus to be righteousness, the truth. So what it be 251 00:31:24.600 --> 00:31:30.440 Bruce Schuchard: for Jesus to be our righteousness, and is suffering in death on the cross, 252 00:31:30.550 --> 00:31:44.020 Bruce Schuchard: through this gift of Himself. Ah, His, you know His righteousness, His accomplishment, is extend to us by grace, through faith it becomes our righteousness, so that what defines Him can define 253 00:31:44.100 --> 00:31:45.310 Bruce Schuchard: us 254 00:31:45.320 --> 00:31:46.130 right. 255 00:31:48.710 --> 00:31:57.570 Bruce Schuchard: These are the fundamental things of Jesus. These are the absolutely necessary things of Jesus. These are the solely sufficient things of Jesus. 256 00:31:57.770 --> 00:31:59.210 Bruce Schuchard: Oh, 257 00:32:00.690 --> 00:32:04.689 Bruce Schuchard: this is our everything right, 258 00:32:05.050 --> 00:32:17.040 Bruce Schuchard: all other seemingly important things, pale and significance, the things of this world matter not over against this 259 00:32:17.550 --> 00:32:21.010 Bruce Schuchard: supremely important and solely sufficient thing. 260 00:32:21.380 --> 00:32:24.679 Bruce Schuchard: This is our everything. 261 00:32:25.060 --> 00:32:28.060 Bruce Schuchard: Uh, for this we trust in Him. 262 00:32:28.550 --> 00:32:31.140 Bruce Schuchard: For for this we 263 00:32:31.170 --> 00:32:38.799 Bruce Schuchard: we live for the sake of Him we live for the sake of His righteousness, as we trust in it's in the gift of it, the 264 00:32:38.810 --> 00:32:41.000 Bruce Schuchard: through Him by grace, the fate! 265 00:32:43.710 --> 00:32:46.010 Bruce Schuchard: Oh, I promise 266 00:32:52.060 --> 00:32:55.459 Bruce Schuchard: with this, then, Paul. Uh, you know, John, 267 00:32:55.950 --> 00:32:57.730 Bruce Schuchard: transitions 268 00:32:57.860 --> 00:33:03.330 Bruce Schuchard: to some weighty verses that follow in the first three verses of chapter three. 269 00:33:03.340 --> 00:33:05.259 Bruce Schuchard: To that we turn now. 270 00:33:05.730 --> 00:33:07.320 Bruce Schuchard: Editor: 271 00:33:09.450 --> 00:33:18.930 Bruce Schuchard: Yeah. Some summary thoughts as regards the reality of the now as we await the part of zeal with the coming of the not yet. That's what's coming next. 272 00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:27.400 Bruce Schuchard: Ah! Whether such things seem apparent to us and to others in this world or not, a matters little. 273 00:33:28.330 --> 00:33:33.929 Bruce Schuchard: What matters is the assurance of this that we receive from our God. 274 00:33:35.010 --> 00:33:43.299 Bruce Schuchard: What matters is the assurance that these things define not just Jesus and His accomplishment, but also us in this world, 275 00:33:43.620 --> 00:33:46.860 whether such things are manifest or not. 276 00:33:46.930 --> 00:33:54.000 Bruce Schuchard: Faith, after all, is not the conviction of that which is saying The faith is the conviction of that which is not seen, 277 00:33:54.190 --> 00:34:01.880 Bruce Schuchard: though these things in our experience in this life proved to be largely 278 00:34:02.830 --> 00:34:06.219 Bruce Schuchard: the stuff of the hiddenness of the kingdom. 279 00:34:06.340 --> 00:34:08.529 Bruce Schuchard: Ah, even so, 280 00:34:08.870 --> 00:34:09.879 Bruce Schuchard: right 281 00:34:10.360 --> 00:34:11.609 Bruce Schuchard: he's. 282 00:34:12.540 --> 00:34:15.009 Bruce Schuchard: By faith we embrace 283 00:34:15.659 --> 00:34:17.279 Bruce Schuchard: the assurance 284 00:34:17.810 --> 00:34:19.670 Bruce Schuchard: of these things. 285 00:34:21.900 --> 00:34:25.859 Bruce Schuchard: What it means for us to be defined by these things 286 00:34:26.520 --> 00:34:40.580 Bruce Schuchard: as we await the day when the reality of these things will become manifest with the coming of the night.

The 442 00:50:42.450 --> 00:50:48.210 Bruce Schuchard: faith hangs on to realities, to assurances, to promises, whether they're seen or not. 443 00:50:49.190 --> 00:50:53.540 Bruce Schuchard: Faith believes in that which is not seen, 444 00:50:53.700 --> 00:50:58.290 Bruce Schuchard: uh, but still is assured and promised right, and defines 445 00:50:58.680 --> 00:51:07.950 Bruce Schuchard: faith, awaits the opportunity, with the coming of the not yet to finally see in all of its manifest fullness, the 446 00:51:08.130 --> 00:51:17.179 Bruce Schuchard: the realities, uh that Jesus makes a reality with His suffering and death on the career on the cross. 447 00:51:19.580 --> 00:51:22.490 Bruce Schuchard: Faith awaits the opportunity to see 448 00:51:22.890 --> 00:51:27.040 Bruce Schuchard: in no uncertain terms in every corner of the cosmos 449 00:51:27.550 --> 00:51:29.840 Bruce Schuchard: that what defines us now 450 00:51:30.480 --> 00:51:33.679 Bruce Schuchard: Ah, surely does define us. 451 00:51:35.260 --> 00:51:40.789 Bruce Schuchard: That's what we see with the coming of these manifest things with the coming of the night. Yet 452 00:51:41.190 --> 00:51:43.560 Bruce Schuchard: when it's benefit manifest, 453 00:51:44.000 --> 00:51:47.019 Bruce Schuchard: then we don't have to believe it anymore. 454 00:51:47.280 --> 00:51:49.739 Bruce Schuchard: Then we see him. We know it. 455 00:51:50.150 --> 00:51:52.039 Bruce Schuchard: It is before us. 456 00:51:54.290 --> 00:51:58.179 Bruce Schuchard: It is before us, around us and in us in every way 457 00:51:58.940 --> 00:52:01.600 Bruce Schuchard: we see it in every way. 458 00:52:02.230 --> 00:52:03.940 Bruce Schuchard: What's the coming of the Nadia. 459 00:52:12.290 --> 00:52:13.500 Where was I? 460 00:52:15.170 --> 00:52:16.229 Bruce Schuchard: So, 461 00:52:16.640 --> 00:52:18.879 Bruce Schuchard: though such things are 462 00:52:20.280 --> 00:52:22.999 Bruce Schuchard: not seen now, not manifest 463 00:52:23.010 --> 00:52:33.960 Bruce Schuchard: now. Even so, boy, done in, we know hety of interest, in indirect discourse. We know that that on fun a row thing, 464 00:52:34.900 --> 00:52:47.780 Bruce Schuchard: not if but when he is made manifest again, the heir is passive of fun and rapporteur, Otto Asamatha. We will be Asamatha 465 00:52:47.790 --> 00:52:59.269 Bruce Schuchard: a more or just like out of him. Why, Hutty, Because, Obama thought, we will see 466 00:52:59.320 --> 00:53:01.549 Bruce Schuchard: out on him 467 00:53:01.590 --> 00:53:05.520 Bruce Schuchard: Cathose, just as as ten. 468 00:53:05.800 --> 00:53:13.070 Bruce Schuchard: He is right. The first thing that we're going to see with the coming of the not yet is Jesus himself the 469 00:53:13.860 --> 00:53:14.970 Bruce Schuchard: right? 470 00:53:15.290 --> 00:53:21.649 Bruce Schuchard: The first thing that we're going to see is Jesus just as He is in every way, 471 00:53:24.700 --> 00:53:26.099 Bruce Schuchard: and finally, 472 00:53:26.320 --> 00:53:31.570 Bruce Schuchard: all of its fullness right to see Him just as he is 473 00:53:34.270 --> 00:53:36.130 Bruce Schuchard: that is, but 474 00:53:36.540 --> 00:53:39.629 Bruce Schuchard: will come with the coming in the not yet. 475 00:53:40.260 --> 00:53:42.709 Bruce Schuchard: Ah, because that's 476 00:53:42.790 --> 00:53:50.729 Bruce Schuchard: what will come with the coming of they, Not not yet the seeing of the rest of what is comes with that. 477 00:53:52.290 --> 00:53:53.939 Bruce Schuchard: How do we know? 478 00:53:54.640 --> 00:53:58.740 Bruce Schuchard: Well, what do we know regarding the coming of the Not yet 479 00:53:58.760 --> 00:54:12.890 Bruce Schuchard: with the coming of the not yet seeing all things as they truly are, will be our experience first in our seeing of Him, than in our seeing of ourselves. 480 00:54:12.900 --> 00:54:17.890 Bruce Schuchard: Then also in our seeing of everyone and everything 481 00:54:18.030 --> 00:54:20.189 Bruce Schuchard: else right 482 00:54:20.430 --> 00:54:22.079 Bruce Schuchard: Who we are 483 00:54:22.120 --> 00:54:24.059 Bruce Schuchard: is what we will be, 484 00:54:24.770 --> 00:54:28.829 Bruce Schuchard: and all of its manifestfulness. What we will be 485 00:54:29.830 --> 00:54:31.540 Bruce Schuchard: is who we are 486 00:54:32.460 --> 00:54:35.639 Bruce Schuchard: even now vibrations through faith, 487 00:54:36.580 --> 00:54:38.100 Bruce Schuchard: either now, 488 00:54:38.650 --> 00:54:40.060 Bruce Schuchard: even if 489 00:54:40.780 --> 00:54:43.389 Bruce Schuchard: such things are not visible to us now, 490 00:54:43.730 --> 00:54:44.790 Bruce Schuchard: right, 491 00:54:44.960 --> 00:54:51.790 Bruce Schuchard: we will see him just as he just as he is. Therefore we will see ourselves also. 492 00:54:51.820 --> 00:54:55.460 Bruce Schuchard: Uh in Him, He and us us. In Him. 493 00:54:55.790 --> 00:55:13.239 Bruce Schuchard: A union with Christ means that what defines him defines us. So if we see him just as he is, then we see ourselves just as he is as is he, so are we both in the now, and especially in the not yet 494 00:55:13.260 --> 00:55:17.310 Bruce Schuchard: uh slaves, Abide not in the house of the Father. Right. 495 00:55:17.550 --> 00:55:23.579 Bruce Schuchard: Only a son abides in the house of the Father, according to Jesus, and in John, Chapter eight. 496 00:55:24.100 --> 00:55:37.550 Bruce Schuchard: So what do you need to be in order to belong to these things in order to belong to Jesus in order for sonship to define you even now, so that sonship might define you with the manifest experience of the coming of the 497 00:55:37.560 --> 00:55:38.490 yeah 498 00:55:38.670 --> 00:55:39.790 Bruce Schuchard: Right. 499 00:55:39.800 --> 00:55:41.849 Bruce Schuchard: His sonship must 500 00:55:42.430 --> 00:55:49.909 Bruce Schuchard: in in mysterious, marvelous, and mysterious ways, ultimately define us as well. 501 00:55:50.030 --> 00:55:51.200 Bruce Schuchard: It's 502 00:55:51.770 --> 00:55:58.589 Bruce Schuchard: uh to belong to him, this to be one with him in just this sort of a way. 503 00:55:59.660 --> 00:56:04.990 Bruce Schuchard: Uh, when he has made manifest we will be just like him, because 504 00:56:05.030 --> 00:56:14.830 Bruce Schuchard: we will see him just as he he is, and we will see ourselves in him, because that's what it means to belong to him, 505 00:56:15.610 --> 00:56:17.850 Bruce Schuchard: as is he, 506 00:56:18.250 --> 00:56:21.090 Bruce Schuchard: so will we be. 507 00:56:23.400 --> 00:56:25.310 Bruce Schuchard: So are we even now 508 00:56:26.230 --> 00:56:41.449 Bruce Schuchard: verse three chi-pos haw at home. Another substanceibal part is simple, right? We've had a few of these ah to to deal with, and so that we get some good review with 509 00:56:41.600 --> 00:56:48.650 Bruce Schuchard: attributed position, part of symbols it immediately follows after an article There It is 510 00:56:49.080 --> 00:56:56.500 Bruce Schuchard: everyone who has tainted El Pita Tain. This hope that out to 511 00:56:56.900 --> 00:57:11.989 Bruce Schuchard: here, because in a a curious statement, a curious suggestion, I did say makes himself out on wholly Kathos Echinos Pagnos s ten, just as that one is wholly. 512 00:57:12.550 --> 00:57:29.419 Bruce Schuchard: You know that that may strip our Lutheran gears a little bit, but it shouldn't right again. What defines him defines us by grace, through faith. That's his promise. That's his assurance. That's his accomplishment. That's what it means to belong to him 513 00:57:29.900 --> 00:57:33.209 Bruce Schuchard: as is he. So are we, 514 00:57:35.150 --> 00:57:49.310 Bruce Schuchard: though this is not visible to us. Now this is the substance of our conviction, our faith that looks to things not seen, though as real as anything 515 00:57:49.350 --> 00:57:52.809 Bruce Schuchard: actually not just as real as anything 516 00:57:54.220 --> 00:58:02.520 Bruce Schuchard: but as important as anything as ultimate as anything. These are the ultimate things of Jesus, whether seen or not, the 517 00:58:02.970 --> 00:58:04.350 Bruce Schuchard: the you. 518 00:58:06.120 --> 00:58:08.660 Bruce Schuchard: This is the nature of our conviction. 519 00:58:09.240 --> 00:58:15.879 Bruce Schuchard: Jesus says to the you know the risen Jesus says to Mary and John twenty, Go to my brothers brothers, 520 00:58:15.910 --> 00:58:17.209 Bruce Schuchard: and tell them 521 00:58:18.230 --> 00:58:21.220 Bruce Schuchard: what you've seen what you've heard 522 00:58:21.520 --> 00:58:26.539 Bruce Schuchard: uh tell them about me risen from the dead and victorious 523 00:58:27.920 --> 00:58:29.209 Bruce Schuchard: It's 524 00:58:30.520 --> 00:58:33.339 Bruce Schuchard: that what I've done on the cross I did, for 525 00:58:33.990 --> 00:58:36.220 Bruce Schuchard: I did for all of the faithful, 526 00:58:36.340 --> 00:58:39.039 Bruce Schuchard: so that what defines me by Define them, 527 00:58:40.440 --> 00:58:42.369 Bruce Schuchard: Son of God is He. 528 00:58:42.910 --> 00:58:48.740 Bruce Schuchard: If we have the Son of God as a brother that makes us sons too. 529 00:58:48.780 --> 00:58:49.919 Bruce Schuchard: Right? 530 00:58:50.420 --> 00:58:51.839 Bruce Schuchard: Ah! 531 00:58:53.670 --> 00:58:56.500 Bruce Schuchard: With the Son of God as your brother, 532 00:58:59.620 --> 00:59:08.329 Bruce Schuchard: everything that He has accomplished for us and for this world becomes a reality by grace, by grace, through faith, not later. But now 533 00:59:09.900 --> 00:59:11.849 Bruce Schuchard: great is this conviction. 534 00:59:12.380 --> 00:59:16.960 Bruce Schuchard: Uh great is the constancy that it encourages. 535 00:59:19.770 --> 00:59:26.349 Bruce Schuchard: Great does, that is the nature of the hope that results when faith trusts in these assurances 536 00:59:26.650 --> 00:59:30.820 Bruce Schuchard: uh given by Jesus, given through the chrism of the Spirit, 537 00:59:31.110 --> 00:59:37.010 Bruce Schuchard: taught through the means of grace, so that human minds and hearts might know these things. 538 00:59:37.460 --> 00:59:38.839 Bruce Schuchard: I know that 539 00:59:39.220 --> 00:59:42.529 Bruce Schuchard: Jesus is ours. In this way the 540 00:59:43.610 --> 00:59:45.049 Bruce Schuchard: give a zero. 541 00:59:46.640 --> 00:59:50.650 Bruce Schuchard: For this reason we live. For this reason reason we live on in hope. 542 00:59:50.940 --> 00:59:57.689 Bruce Schuchard: Uh, for this reason we alone put our trust in Him, and live alone for the sake of him 543 00:59:58.350 --> 01:00:00.649 Bruce Schuchard: until he comes again, 544 01:00:00.910 --> 01:00:02.060 Bruce Schuchard: knowing 545 01:00:02.540 --> 01:00:04.499 that when he does come with him 546 01:00:12.840 --> 01:00:15.689 Bruce Schuchard: we will see ourselves in him. 547 01:00:16.140 --> 01:00:19.019 Bruce Schuchard: Ah! From that time forward, 548 01:00:19.030 --> 01:00:21.529 Bruce Schuchard: in all of its manifest fullness. 549 01:00:21.880 --> 01:00:23.270 Bruce Schuchard: He's 550 01:00:28.140 --> 01:00:30.699 Bruce Schuchard: that's something to hang on to 551 01:00:30.780 --> 01:00:33.749 Bruce Schuchard: like nothing else. Right? 552 01:00:34.610 --> 01:00:36.450 Bruce Schuchard: That's something that 553 01:00:38.140 --> 01:00:42.509 Bruce Schuchard: causes all other things to pale again in significance. 554 01:00:42.970 --> 01:00:45.919 Bruce Schuchard: If this is so, and it is. It is so. 555 01:00:46.150 --> 01:00:50.269 Bruce Schuchard: And this is the only thing that matters in this life, 556 01:00:50.510 --> 01:00:51.580 the next 557 01:00:51.800 --> 01:00:58.020 Bruce Schuchard: hanging on to this conviction about ourselves and Jesus until Jesus comes again. The 558 01:00:58.650 --> 01:01:01.390 Bruce Schuchard: it's been a pleasure to be with you again. 559 01:01:02.220 --> 01:01:04.980 Bruce Schuchard: I'll look forward to seeing you again, 560 01:01:07.180 --> 01:01:10.790 Bruce Schuchard: probably before the coming of the not yet.
