back to indexMark 6-6-12
00:00:00.000 |
I'm not going to name names if we're recording, so those in the brown chairs. 00:00:08.000 |
But come up front because there's plenty of room up here. 00:00:25.000 |
Let me open this up in a word of prayer and then we'll begin. 00:00:31.720 |
Father God, we thank you again for another night in which we can study the Gospel of 00:00:37.040 |
We thank you so much for your grace in providing this account of our Lord and Savior. 00:00:42.920 |
That Lord, through our study, we may understand more of who our Lord and Savior is and how 00:00:49.440 |
we may be inspired, Lord God, to really live out our lives in faith, to live out our lives 00:00:58.720 |
And so Father, I ask that as we just go and pretty much conclude, Lord, Jesus' ministry 00:01:08.880 |
in Galilee with the fourth withdrawal, that Lord, you may open the eyes of our hearts 00:01:13.760 |
to see what your word has to say and that it may impact us, Father, not so that we may 00:01:20.200 |
feel good about ourselves or have a better understanding of you, but that Lord, we may 00:01:25.480 |
be responsible with the knowledge you have given us and to spread that knowledge to others, 00:01:30.080 |
Lord God, whether it be those who are part of your kingdom already or those who are not. 00:01:34.840 |
And so Father, we ask for your blessing upon this time and in your name we pray. 00:01:42.760 |
So, previously before, I always gave you guys like an outline of what we studied in 00:01:49.040 |
the past weeks, but I decided to take that out because it's getting too much and I feel 00:01:55.920 |
like you guys pretty much know what's, where the gist of the progression of Mark is going, 00:02:02.200 |
so instead of doing that, we just go straight to the outline of Mark. 00:02:07.540 |
Just very briefly, he started off in Judea in chapter 1 verse 1 until 13, and then for 00:02:13.860 |
the majority of the Gospel of Mark from chapter 1, 14 until the end of chapter 9, which we're 00:02:23.860 |
Chapter 10, we call that the turning point in which there's a pivot where Jesus' ministry 00:02:34.260 |
And then the concluding part of the Gospel of Mark, chapter 11 until chapter 16, verse 00:02:40.380 |
8, we begin to see, well, Jesus is in Jerusalem. 00:02:45.900 |
So again, the Gospel of Mark is a very easy gospel to kind of just follow geographically 00:02:51.640 |
and it gives us at least a little hint when we hear the chapter numbers where Jesus is 00:02:58.040 |
and where, what he might possibly be doing, and so that's one of the great things about 00:03:07.260 |
As we conclude tonight in Jesus' ministry in Galilee, again, we took note of the four 00:03:13.260 |
There are four withdrawals that take place, and each one has like a marker that indicates 00:03:18.980 |
that Jesus left Galilee to a different region. 00:03:23.220 |
We cover the first three, the past three weeks, and we're on the fourth one with chapter 8 00:03:28.980 |
verse 13 until the end of chapter 9, and we notice that in verse 13 he says, "Leaving 00:03:33.300 |
them he again embarked and went away to the other side." 00:03:37.900 |
And so that's how we know that he made another withdrawal away from Galilee to another region. 00:03:45.260 |
And that's just a brief outlook of what's ahead with the fourth withdrawal. 00:03:51.380 |
And as you can see, there's a lot of material, and I'm sorry for that, but that's just the 00:03:59.360 |
So we're going to cover all this stuff, all these important events. 00:04:03.660 |
It's very significant, and so we'll try to take some time, and if I happen to run out 00:04:09.300 |
of time, then we'll just, we'll end it there, and then we'll cover the rest the following 00:04:18.220 |
As we noted before, we're going to the final withdrawal, the fourth withdrawal, and verse 00:04:23.700 |
13 takes note that after he confronted the failed tag team of the Pharisees and the Sadducees, 00:04:35.400 |
He is upset, he is angered, he is sighing deeply, as we saw in verse 12, with the Pharisees 00:04:42.960 |
and the Sadducees and their unbelief, and so he leaves them. 00:04:46.180 |
He doesn't stick around to debate with them or to argue with them, he just leaves. 00:04:51.460 |
And he embarks and went to the other side, and he goes to the north and east side of 00:05:01.240 |
One thing that we'll take note in, and I'll probably repeat this over and over again in 00:05:07.000 |
this final withdrawal, is that we begin to see Jesus' ministry taking a shift as he gets 00:05:15.360 |
He's no longer solely focused upon the public, rather the focus of his ministry is becoming 00:05:22.180 |
narrower as he seeks to invest into his own disciples. 00:05:29.320 |
And so that's something to just keep track of as we track Jesus as he gets closer to 00:05:35.500 |
Jerusalem, to see his love and care for his disciples and to see how much he wants to 00:05:41.660 |
invest into them, to prepare them for Jesus' eventual departure. 00:05:52.260 |
And so they leave Galilee, they leave Capernaum, and they're going to the other side, and as 00:05:58.660 |
we pick up with the story, the disciples go on to the boat, and they realize that there 00:06:05.220 |
They were in a haste, again, it seems like they just got confronted with the failed tag 00:06:11.000 |
team and as soon as Jesus spoke with them, he just kind of left immediately. 00:06:15.900 |
So without warning, they're embarking on another journey, they didn't have time to prepare, 00:06:20.540 |
and so they had no bread, and so they noticed that. 00:06:23.900 |
And so Jesus, hearing their kind of complaints or hearing their concerns for the lack of 00:06:30.920 |
physical food, he begins to, he takes this as a teaching opportunity, to not simply let 00:06:39.140 |
them wallow in their physical need, but to really use that as an opportunity to teach 00:06:46.300 |
And we see that in verse 15, he begins by saying, giving orders to them, saying, "Watch 00:06:52.260 |
out, beware of the leaven of, or the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod." 00:06:58.460 |
And so we want to take note that there's a double warning that Jesus is giving to his 00:07:02.940 |
disciples, he's not only calling them to watch out, but to also be aware of the Pharisees 00:07:13.100 |
and the Herodians and what we will later see in Matthew chapter 16, verse 6, also the Sadducees. 00:07:21.460 |
And so basically Jesus is warning, warning his disciples in this boat while they're hungry 00:07:29.860 |
to be aware of the leaven of the Pharisees, the Herodians, and the Sadducees, or better, 00:07:35.420 |
you know, if you want to sum it all up, just the religious teachers of that day. 00:07:44.980 |
And so, as he gives them this warning, this double warning to his disciples, the disciples 00:07:52.780 |
in verse 16, they say, "They began to discuss with one another the fact that they had no 00:07:58.020 |
So it's almost as if they just kind of heard Jesus' teaching and it just went, "Woo!" 00:08:05.660 |
And Jesus being a great teacher was well aware of their ignorance, and so he repeats himself, 00:08:13.380 |
and he says, "And why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? 00:08:26.740 |
And then, in verse, from verse 19 until 20, he kind of recounts for them the great feeding 00:08:36.580 |
And so, one thing that we want to take note of is the fact that during this exchange, 00:08:44.260 |
Jesus kind of calls them out and says, "Do you not yet see or understand?" 00:08:48.300 |
Or you know, better yet, "Do you have a hardened heart?" 00:08:52.620 |
And so they still lacked faith to understand what Jesus was talking about. 00:08:58.100 |
And probably because of their physical needs, they were hungry. 00:09:04.780 |
And so, Jesus goes on and again recalls the two great feedings as to remind them of the 00:09:11.700 |
power that he has to just kind of recreate food. 00:09:16.140 |
But yet, Mark doesn't explain what the leaven, what that symbolically means. 00:09:25.380 |
But in Matthew 16, verse 12, we take note that he, you know, he does explain to them 00:09:30.620 |
what he means by the leaven of the Pharisees and the Herodians and the Sadducees. 00:09:35.580 |
So if you want to turn with me to Matthew chapter 16, we're going to be flipping back 00:09:38.940 |
and forth between the various Gospels here because we want to get a full picture of what's 00:09:48.740 |
We see in verse 12, "Then they understood that he did not say to beware of the leaven 00:09:55.500 |
of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and the Sadducees." 00:09:59.220 |
And so we take note that the leaven of the bread or the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees 00:10:05.460 |
was in fact referring to the teaching and influence of the religious teachers of that 00:10:11.700 |
That as much as their teaching and the influence of the religious leaders, they might view 00:10:18.380 |
it as being insignificant, it will have a widespread impact upon their future ministry. 00:10:25.940 |
And so this was Jesus giving a double warning to them saying, "You got to be aware of the 00:10:30.060 |
influence that the Sadducees and the Pharisees and the Herodians will give to you." 00:10:38.980 |
Leaven is again that ingredient in bread that makes it rise. 00:10:42.500 |
Just put a little bit of it in the dough and it will cause it to rise. 00:10:46.900 |
I'm not a baker so I don't know if that's true or not, it probably is, but we all know 00:10:51.580 |
that leaven has that kind of effect and yet he's using that as analogy to show that the 00:10:56.420 |
religious leaders will use their influence to impact the ministry of the disciples in 00:11:03.340 |
And so he's giving them this warning in the midst of this boat as they travel across the 00:11:14.500 |
And so they arrive, they're on this boat, they arrive at this place called Bethsaida 00:11:19.940 |
And I don't know if you guys are familiar with that name, but if you are, then kudos 00:11:28.260 |
Because this is not the first time that Jesus and his disciples arrived at Bethsaida Julius. 00:11:34.580 |
We also take note in Mark chapter 6, verse 32 and 44, I think that's the great feeding 00:11:43.940 |
That's where Bethsaida Julius was and now they go back there and they're seeing, they 00:11:53.420 |
I just want to make sure that I got that one right. 00:12:03.180 |
So they arrive there and they're received well and immediately someone brings to them 00:12:13.660 |
They bring a blind man to Jesus and they're begging him to touch him. 00:12:17.820 |
Perhaps because they've seen already the power of Jesus to heal various ailments and sicknesses, 00:12:24.660 |
so they kind of bring him along and they're just begging Jesus to just touch him. 00:12:30.020 |
Sorry, before we begin with that story, we want to also take note that this miracle is 00:12:40.540 |
This miracle and the miracle found in Mark chapter 7, verse 31 and 37, which is the miracle 00:12:46.460 |
of Jesus healing the deaf and the stammering man, those are the only miracles that are 00:12:55.420 |
We also take note that both of these miracles were performed outside of Galilee and in both 00:13:00.820 |
of these miracles Jesus takes the person aside privately. 00:13:05.300 |
And so again, these are private moments that Jesus has with the people that he's about 00:13:13.340 |
And again, the private moment with the blind man, before he was being led by the crowds, 00:13:21.860 |
Again we see that in verse 23 where he's taking the blind man by the hand. 00:13:29.500 |
Again the purpose of taking him outside the village is so that he won't attract attention, 00:13:34.860 |
and he could spend that private moment with this blind man in healing him, outside of 00:13:40.420 |
the onlookers that are just kind of, you know, just kind of goggling and just wanting to 00:13:49.140 |
And so here he is with a private moment with the blind man, and here Jesus is having a 00:13:57.000 |
And he begins by spitting on his eyes, the eyes of the blind man, and laying his hands 00:14:10.380 |
And the blind man looks up and said, "I see men, for I see them like trees walking around." 00:14:15.660 |
And so we take note that, you know, he's, uh, didn't heal him completely, right? 00:14:25.060 |
And so Jesus talks to him again, and he said he lays his hands on his eyes again, and he 00:14:31.020 |
looked intently, and his sight was restored, and began to see everything clearly. 00:14:38.580 |
This is the only recorded miracle in Jesus' ministry that was done in stages. 00:14:44.220 |
A lot of times we see Jesus' miracles where he just kind of casts demons out without any 00:14:51.860 |
He heals the blind, he heals the sick with a simple touch. 00:14:55.380 |
There appears to be, like, really no need for stages for Jesus' healing. 00:15:01.740 |
But yet in this moment with this blind man, for whatever the reason, Jesus decided to 00:15:11.200 |
He heals him first, and then it's not clear enough, and then he heals him again, and it's 00:15:19.900 |
So a lot of skeptics will look at this event, this miracle, and they'll kind of indicate 00:15:31.380 |
Perhaps Jesus is not as strong as, you know, he thought, you know, he was thought up to 00:15:37.500 |
He couldn't heal this blind man in one shot, so perhaps Jesus is getting tired and weak. 00:15:47.420 |
But instead of taking that view, we want to understand that Jesus is the Son of God, and 00:15:51.540 |
that this whole incident is not an indication of his weakness, rather it's an indication 00:15:55.820 |
of the precise control that Jesus has with his power. 00:16:01.660 |
Jesus has precise control over his healing power. 00:16:06.980 |
And considering that this miracle is placed right after the disciples and their misunderstanding 00:16:13.500 |
of Jesus' teaching about the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees and the Herodians, 00:16:23.140 |
I think the Holy Spirit, through Mark, is trying to make a point showing that these 00:16:29.580 |
disciples who lack the faith in Jesus' teaching before are in need of just progressive understanding. 00:16:38.340 |
There is a need for them to understand in a progressive way of God's salvation plan. 00:16:44.060 |
That perhaps the first time, just like the blind man with the first time, they have a 00:16:49.300 |
fuzzy understanding of everything that Jesus is teaching about. 00:16:53.520 |
And that there will be a second healing, if you would say, a second healing in which they 00:16:59.780 |
will be able to understand completely everything that Jesus taught. 00:17:03.340 |
And that will come after the death and resurrection of Christ. 00:17:08.060 |
And so the story of the blind man at Bethsaida is not only a story, more evidence of Jesus' 00:17:15.340 |
compassion for those who are hurt physically, but it's also an indication of Jesus' promise 00:17:21.700 |
to the disciples that you guys don't understand what I'm talking about now, but you will understand 00:17:34.880 |
And then finally we take note that Jesus, after healing him, just instructs him to go 00:17:42.840 |
Perhaps his home wasn't at Bethsaida, but he tells him to go back home. 00:17:46.640 |
And it appears that the now unblind man, if I can use that term, the unblind one, obeys. 00:17:57.680 |
Because remember usually after the healing and after he kind of warns them, you know, 00:18:02.040 |
God takes note that, oh, he went about and told everyone and brought a big crowd about. 00:18:06.720 |
Well, with the blind man at Bethsaida, there isn't any evidence of that. 00:18:10.680 |
So it might be a good indication that he did obey the instructions of Christ. 00:18:28.720 |
The next topic, I'm calling this the five theological bombshells. 00:18:39.040 |
But we see that after his healing of the blind man at Bethsaida, Jesus goes out along with 00:18:46.480 |
his disciples to this area called Caesarea Philippi. 00:18:53.760 |
And that's the backdrop of what's about to take place, everything that's about to take 00:18:58.880 |
Caesarea Philippi is an area, a region of Israel where it's a mountainous region and 00:19:17.560 |
And one of the things about this place is that they place these pedestals to these false 00:19:26.280 |
So they have, like, these little, like, shrines here and there where they replace their false 00:19:32.520 |
And so this is the backdrop of the city that Jesus is entering with his disciples. 00:19:40.240 |
And again, as we already noted, and I'm reminding you again, as Jesus gets closer to Jerusalem, 00:19:48.240 |
Jesus' focus is getting more towards his disciples. 00:19:50.720 |
And so he begins to ask them these questions. 00:19:54.500 |
So in the midst of these backgrounds with all these false gods, Jesus questions his 00:19:58.680 |
disciples in verse 27, saying to them, "Who do you say that I am?" 00:20:04.720 |
And so it's kind of a very unique picture where Jesus is standing there, and it wasn't 00:20:16.540 |
And he's asking them, "Who do you say that I am? 00:20:20.720 |
You see all these other false gods, but what about me?" 00:20:27.160 |
And this question kind of kicks off the five theological bombshells, and again, the reason 00:20:31.980 |
why I'm calling them the five theological bombshells is because Jesus is about to introduce 00:20:36.140 |
a new message, a new message to his disciples. 00:20:40.580 |
And this is a message that's really different from the message that the disciples preached 00:20:47.380 |
As you guys can remember back in, I think it was Mark chapter 6, he summoned the twelve 00:20:55.880 |
and he kind of sent them out and told them to preach to the various villages and healing 00:21:04.320 |
And here is Jesus going to start off with this different message by asking this question, 00:21:17.800 |
And the first theological bombshell that we encounter is the fact that Jesus is the Christ. 00:21:28.860 |
We see in verse 28, you know, the disciples are kind of just throwing out suggestions. 00:21:34.600 |
They're saying, "You're John the Baptist," and others are saying, "You're Elijah," and 00:21:41.860 |
And Jesus continued by questioning them, "But who do you say that I am?" 00:21:45.740 |
Peter answered and said to him, "You are the Christ." 00:21:49.460 |
And if you guys remember Dr. Harris's message back in the summer, he's mentioning that "You 00:21:56.020 |
are the Christ" is like a four-part affirmation. 00:22:00.340 |
It's "You are the Christ, the Son, the God, the Living." 00:22:04.260 |
Again, he's extolling Christ's identity to the highest level. 00:22:14.540 |
Now we know that in Matthew chapter 16, there's a difference because after Peter gives this 00:22:20.460 |
response of the fact that, you know, "You are the Christ, the Son, the God, the Living," 00:22:28.500 |
He said, "Blessed are you, Peter," and all this other stuff. 00:22:37.180 |
Rather, after giving the correct answer, he just, he warns them to tell no one about him. 00:22:44.420 |
And so that's kind of unique to just the Gospel of Matthew. 00:22:52.260 |
But we move on to the second theological bombshell, and that's the first mentioning of the Church. 00:22:57.940 |
Now we don't find that in the Gospel of Mark. 00:23:01.500 |
We find that solely in the Gospel of Matthew. 00:23:04.900 |
And so that's one of the reasons why there's five theological bombshells. 00:23:08.820 |
Four are only found in the Gospel of Mark, but the fifth one is found in the Gospel of 00:23:13.740 |
And again, that's the first mention of the Church. 00:23:17.740 |
I'm sure for them, they didn't know that the Church was going to be like this. 00:23:22.460 |
Perhaps they were confused and they had questions about what this Church would actually look 00:23:27.140 |
But again, the message is beginning to change now for the disciples. 00:23:34.100 |
Whatever paradigm that they may have had is exploding. 00:23:36.820 |
It's like Jesus is changing everything right now. 00:23:44.140 |
We move on to the third theological bombshell, which is Jesus' death and resurrection. 00:23:50.420 |
All throughout the Gospel of Mark, Jesus never mentions his death or his resurrection. 00:23:56.020 |
And in Mark chapter 8, verse 31, he begins by teaching them that he is going to die and 00:24:07.820 |
Now we want to take note that Jesus never talks about his death without his resurrection. 00:24:22.740 |
We notice that Peter doesn't take well with this particular bombshell. 00:24:29.340 |
With this bombshell, he takes Jesus aside and he begins to rebuke him. 00:24:36.900 |
Remember, this Peter was the same one that mentioned that you are the Christ, the Son, 00:24:49.260 |
But we know that later on in verse 33 that Jesus rebukes Peter back in return and says, 00:24:53.780 |
"Get behind me, Satan, for you are not setting your mind on God's interests but man's." 00:24:59.220 |
And so even though Peter was commended in the Gospel of Matthew, in the Gospel of Mark 00:25:03.700 |
he wasn't commended and probably this is one of the reasons why. 00:25:07.220 |
Because two verses later, he's going to get rebuked by Jesus and he's called Satan by 00:25:14.100 |
Again, remember Peter had a particular insight with John Mark, the author. 00:25:20.660 |
So perhaps he asked Mark maybe not to put it in there. 00:25:28.720 |
And so again, this third theological bombshell is the fact that Jesus will die and he will 00:25:35.620 |
Perhaps the idea of his death and resurrection shattered, maybe shook up whatever kind of 00:25:42.220 |
hope that they had in Jesus in regards to his Messiahship, or in their perception of 00:25:52.780 |
And so they're pretty rattled because of that. 00:25:59.380 |
Jesus has another bombshell to drop upon, not only the disciples but the crowd that 00:26:06.540 |
We move to verse 34 and it says, "He summoned the crowd with his disciples and said to them, 00:26:12.180 |
'If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow 00:26:18.340 |
For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it. 00:26:20.860 |
But whoever loses his life for my sake and the Gospels will save it. 00:26:26.420 |
For what is a profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? 00:26:30.380 |
For what will a man give in exchange for his soul?'" 00:26:34.820 |
And so again, we see Jesus now stretching his teaching audience to the crowd that is 00:26:41.880 |
He's no longer just solely focused upon the disciples, we know that that is his priority, 00:26:49.900 |
But he includes the crowd to hear what he has to say. 00:26:53.820 |
And what he has to say is that there's a high cost to follow me. 00:26:59.220 |
There is a high cost for this discipleship that you guys are all wanting right now. 00:27:09.080 |
And so here is Jesus and he is making it very, very clear that if you're gonna follow me, 00:27:18.220 |
But even though you lose your life, you're gonna gain something in return. 00:27:22.700 |
And so again, this is a hard message for Jesus, or this is a hard message for the crowd and 00:27:32.020 |
I know a lot of us have used this verse to kind of describe our desire to follow Jesus, 00:27:39.760 |
but putting in the context of everything that's going on so far, this is a very difficult 00:27:46.920 |
message for the audiences to hear about Jesus' high cost of discipleship. 00:28:00.040 |
We also want to take note, the fifth theological bombshell, and that's what we find in verse 00:28:06.080 |
The fifth theological bombshell is the glory of God at the second coming. 00:28:13.580 |
He concludes his teaching to the crowd and to the disciples by stating, "For whoever 00:28:20.200 |
is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the son of man will 00:28:26.040 |
also be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels." 00:28:31.640 |
Again, you can't have the person of Jesus without the words of Jesus. 00:28:37.320 |
You can't just claim to believe in Christ and not listen to what he has to say about 00:28:46.200 |
And here the son of man, here the son of God is saying to them that, "If you are ashamed 00:28:51.440 |
of me, there will be some consequences when he comes in the glory of his Father with his 00:29:03.960 |
He attributes the glory of God with the second coming, and we can even go back to Luke chapter 00:29:13.720 |
Again, in a parallel passage, we see in verse 23 that he's talking about the cost of discipleship, 00:29:27.080 |
"For whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the son of man will be ashamed of him when 00:29:32.200 |
he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels." 00:29:38.000 |
Again, in Jesus' teaching ministry up to this point, in the Gospel of Mark, there has been 00:29:46.640 |
no mention of the glory of God until at this point. 00:29:50.860 |
"The glory of God is going to come at the second coming, when I return, when the son 00:29:58.200 |
And so all the references in the Old Testament about the glory of God, all the stories that 00:30:03.240 |
they've heard in the Old Testament concerning the glory of God, is now being attributed 00:30:11.800 |
And within all those Old Testament references are the story of Moses and Elijah, and their 00:30:21.520 |
And so all that is being attributed to his second coming. 00:30:26.600 |
And so again, you can imagine that the theological bombshells are just kind of rattling and shattering 00:30:33.200 |
everything that the disciples had built up for themselves in their own understanding. 00:30:40.000 |
Perhaps they had a grasp of Jesus' teaching at some point, but now with these five theological 00:30:45.240 |
bombshells, it's kind of like, this is a totally different message that you were teaching us 00:30:54.420 |
But again, as we see, as we chart the progress of Jesus as he gets closer to Jerusalem, he's 00:31:05.480 |
This is what it is going to be like if you follow me. 00:31:12.120 |
Any questions with the five theological bombshells? 00:31:32.360 |
The Transfiguration introduces a shift to the topic of the Kingdom of God. 00:31:41.200 |
And we see in verse 1 of chapter 9, Jesus is saying to them, "Today, or truly, I say 00:31:45.980 |
to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see 00:31:51.280 |
the Kingdom of God after it has come with power." 00:31:56.880 |
And so verse 1 is probably in reference to Peter, James, and John, because of what they're 00:32:02.760 |
about to see in the next, in the upcoming verses in chapter 9. 00:32:08.640 |
And so, so he makes this statement to them, to his disciples, and six days later, after 00:32:16.120 |
letting that teaching kind of sink in for all of them, Jesus took with him Peter, James, 00:32:21.080 |
and John, and brought them up on a high mountain by themselves. 00:32:25.480 |
And so, yeah, I'm pretty sure that map on your PowerPoint, or your notes, really can't 00:32:35.280 |
This is where they were, this is where the five theological bombshells took place, where 00:32:39.360 |
Jesus was comparing himself to the other false gods and saying, "Who am I? 00:32:45.960 |
And the mountain that they went up to, probably Mount Hermon, is right here. 00:32:52.880 |
And so you can see that Jesus is really going out of his way to spend time with his disciples. 00:32:59.360 |
He really wants to focus upon them, and to train them, and to invest into them before 00:33:08.120 |
And so he takes the inner three to the mountain, and again, it's here where the transfiguration 00:33:18.480 |
And we note in verse 2, it says, "And he was transfigured before them." 00:33:22.440 |
That word "transfigured" means "changed form." 00:33:26.040 |
It's like the same word used in pagan mythology to describe, perhaps, a Greek god transforming 00:33:30.520 |
himself into a human being, or something like that. 00:33:34.680 |
That word "transfigured" is also in the passive voice, so it means it's something that was 00:33:42.640 |
God was transfiguring Jesus, revealing to his disciples who he really is, as the Son 00:33:50.880 |
We take note that in the Gospel of Mark, he mentions that his clothes, his garments, became 00:33:56.560 |
radiant and exceedingly white, as no launderer on earth can whiten them. 00:34:02.200 |
And you can't help but to think that perhaps the Apostle Peter gave Mark that detail as 00:34:08.140 |
he shared his story about the transfiguration. 00:34:12.520 |
But we also want to take note that in Matthew and in Luke, they make an account of Jesus' 00:34:21.520 |
And in Matthew chapter 17, verse 2, Matthew describes Jesus' face as "shining like the 00:34:31.000 |
In the account with Luke, in Luke chapter 9, verse 29, his face became different. 00:34:38.360 |
And so, as to why Mark didn't include those details, we don't know, but all we know is 00:34:50.120 |
But we want to take note that his transfiguration wasn't just his clothes alone, but it was 00:34:55.640 |
almost like a physical transfiguration that took place. 00:35:00.760 |
We also take note that he appeared with Elijah and with Moses. 00:35:05.840 |
We see in verse 4, right, Elijah appeared to them along with Moses, and they were talking 00:35:11.920 |
Moses, as you guys may have already know, Moses equals the law. 00:35:17.080 |
He represents the law part of Israel's, or of the Old Testament. 00:35:27.960 |
And so you have two of the most significant characters in the Old Testament there, in 00:35:36.520 |
They also have other connections between Moses and Elijah. 00:35:39.080 |
You know, they both had mysterious disappearances. 00:35:42.320 |
We take note at the end of Deuteronomy, when Moses dies, he goes up to the mountain and 00:35:50.600 |
God buried Moses so that his body cannot be found at the end of Deuteronomy. 00:35:56.640 |
And we also know that with Elijah, he just kind of got caught up in a whirlwind of fire. 00:36:01.800 |
Yeah, so again, there's some similarities in what Moses and Elijah kind of share with 00:36:14.120 |
We take note of Moses' experience where he got kind of put in the cleft of the rocks 00:36:21.040 |
as Jesus passes by, and it says that Moses saw his backside and his face like shine like 00:36:26.960 |
And then Elijah in the mountains, he came out of his cave after being discouraged with 00:36:34.400 |
Jezebel, and he saw the glory of God, but he couldn't really see it because he had a 00:36:41.020 |
So you had Moses and Elijah, they both experienced the glory of God, and now they're here with 00:36:49.960 |
And Luke 9 verse 31 kind of reveals what their conversation was about. 00:36:56.080 |
Remember we see in verse 4 again that they were talking with Jesus, but what were they 00:36:59.800 |
This is one of the wonders about having three other Gospels, because they can all shed extra 00:37:08.520 |
In Luke 9 verse 31, it says, talking about Moses and Elijah, who appearing in glory, 00:37:14.800 |
were speaking of his departure, Jesus' departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. 00:37:19.920 |
And so again, Moses and Elijah were just not there giving like a chit-chat or, you know, 00:37:29.120 |
We have Moses and Elijah, and they're talking about Jesus' pending death, what was going 00:37:40.720 |
Now I kind of wonder here at this point, like, this might be a side note, but like how did 00:37:47.960 |
the disciples know that it was Elijah and Moses? 00:37:56.680 |
You know, so how, I mean, like, I don't know, Bible's not clear in regards to that question. 00:38:02.280 |
I don't know, it's just a question to ask, like, how'd you know that was Moses and Elijah? 00:38:07.640 |
Perhaps Jesus made mention of them later on that was not recorded in the Scriptures, but 00:38:13.120 |
anyways, that's just something to think about. 00:38:21.480 |
We notice that after the disciples recognize this, Peter comes up to Jesus and he's saying, 00:38:31.400 |
Peter is well aware that something magnificent is happening, something great is happening, 00:38:35.680 |
something that probably only happens once in a lifetime. 00:38:41.160 |
And he's coming up to Jesus and he's saying, "Rabbi, it's good for us to be here. 00:38:44.840 |
Let's make this longer, let's make this party happen, let's make it, let's extend it. 00:38:50.360 |
Let us make three tabernacles, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah." 00:38:57.560 |
And so he's making a request to pitch these three tabernacles or these three tents. 00:39:04.600 |
We know part of it was he said it out of fear because it says that later on in verse 6, 00:39:11.440 |
"For he did not know what to answer, for they became terrified." 00:39:16.680 |
But it's also quite possibly that Peter's a lot smarter than we think. 00:39:22.480 |
Peter was not saying this because he was, like, jibber jabbering or anything like that. 00:39:28.160 |
It's quite possible that Peter had an understanding that the kingdom of God might be inaugurated 00:39:37.080 |
And so perhaps he's making this feeble request because he's understanding that something 00:39:46.680 |
He understands that before the Messiah comes, Elijah was supposed to come. 00:39:54.440 |
And so he sees Elijah, he sees Jesus, he already knows that Jesus is the Messiah. 00:39:58.800 |
He's like, "Elijah, Jesus, oh shoot, something big about to happen." 00:40:14.480 |
But recognize that Jesus never really answers his question. 00:40:20.880 |
It moves on in verse 7, "Then a cloud formed, overshadowing them." 00:40:25.760 |
And it says, "A voice came out of the cloud, 'This is my beloved Son. 00:40:32.280 |
Now the cloud overshadowing Jesus, it's very significant. 00:40:41.240 |
We notice in 1 Kings 8 verse 10 and 11 that when King Solomon inaugurated the temple that 00:40:47.920 |
there's a cloud that came upon the temple indicating the glory of God or the presence 00:40:57.360 |
It should be 35 guys, not Luke chapter 1 verse 35. 00:41:06.600 |
It's the angel conversing with Mary before Jesus is conceived and saying, "The angel 00:41:13.280 |
answer is said to her, 'The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High 00:41:21.820 |
And for that reason, the Holy Child shall be called the Son of God.'" 00:41:26.920 |
And so again, we have this shadow, this concept of a cloud overshadowing people, indicating 00:41:36.980 |
And so again, if we take this cloud here in verse 7 and how it overshadows them as being 00:41:44.040 |
the presence of God, then this would make it the second appearance of the presence of 00:41:50.760 |
God in the form of a cloud overshadowing something in 500 years from the time of Solomon and 00:41:58.120 |
the cloud coming down upon the temple till now, to what we see here in Mark chapter 9. 00:42:08.440 |
And so a cloud form that's overshadowing them, and just in case if the disciples didn't understand 00:42:15.440 |
what this cloud and this overshadowing means, you have God speaking. 00:42:26.680 |
Now that phrase has to sound familiar, right? 00:42:29.000 |
That phrase, "This is my beloved Son," it kind of sounds similar to what God said when 00:42:36.160 |
"This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased." 00:42:40.480 |
And so again, here's God, he's making a second reminder to the disciples there that, "This 00:42:50.800 |
Just in case if you don't understand what's about to take place. 00:42:57.640 |
And instead of saying, "in whom I am well pleased with," he makes it clear to them. 00:43:10.480 |
I mean if you want to get any more direct than that, I mean sometimes we struggle with 00:43:14.320 |
the Word of God, and sometimes we read the commands that we read here and we're like, 00:43:19.920 |
I mean, can you imagine how the disciples must have felt? 00:43:24.680 |
I mean when they hear the voice of God himself saying, "Listen to Jesus. 00:43:33.540 |
And so, in the midst of all of this, of all this that took place, we take note in verse 00:43:41.960 |
8, "All at once they looked around and saw no one with them anymore except Jesus alone." 00:43:48.280 |
It's almost, it's like an abrupt ending to what just took place in the Transfiguration. 00:43:54.000 |
But we know with further detail in the other Gospels, like in Matthew chapter 17 verse 00:43:58.760 |
6, it shows the disciples on the ground, right? 00:44:02.840 |
They're just kind of on the ground, not wanting to look up. 00:44:09.880 |
And it wasn't until Jesus touches them that they actually look up, which we find in Matthew 00:44:17.780 |
And so again, the holiness of God compelled them to really be afraid of their lives. 00:44:26.440 |
They prostrated themselves before the Son of God. 00:44:31.680 |
And it wouldn't be until Jesus coming and touching them that they would actually look 00:44:43.920 |
The next slide here is just like a, just a little chart that I made, just kind of capturing 00:44:49.760 |
the overshadowing part and the glory of God being associated with that. 00:44:55.980 |
And so, that's just something for, just for your reference to take note of that when you 00:45:02.300 |
read the other Gospel accounts, when you see this concept of overshadowing. 00:45:07.640 |
More likely than not, it's probably an indication of the presence of God in their midst. 00:45:16.920 |
As we continue on, we see that after all this happened, Jesus commanded them to not tell 00:45:24.120 |
anyone what has happened until the Son of Man rose from the dead. 00:45:29.880 |
He commanded them to do this because he didn't want the salvation plan of God to take place 00:45:37.520 |
earlier than where God wanted it, so he warned them not to do that. 00:45:42.640 |
And so, it must have been weird for the disciples to hear, like, "What do you mean the Son of 00:45:47.880 |
And so, they probably had questions about that because it says in verse 10, "They seized 00:45:51.640 |
upon that statement, and they discussed with one another what rising from the dead meant." 00:45:58.360 |
And as they kind of talked about what this resurrection means, the three disciples, as 00:46:04.000 |
they walked down the mountain after this tremendous event, they just asked Jesus, like, "Why is 00:46:09.840 |
it that the scribes say that Elijah must come first?" 00:46:13.760 |
And so, they open up this question about Elijah, and this question about Elijah is very important. 00:46:21.400 |
Because, not only do the scribes teach this, but the Bible teaches that Elijah has to come 00:46:28.320 |
And we find that in Malachi, chapter 4, verse 5 and 6, the last two verses of Malachi. 00:46:37.560 |
And so, basically, what the disciples were doing is they were just asking Jesus, like, 00:46:41.320 |
"What's your interpretation of this prophecy here in Malachi, chapter 4, verse 5 and 6?" 00:46:46.320 |
Like, "We know that Elijah has to return, the scribes teach us that, so is it true or 00:46:54.080 |
And so, if you'll turn with me to Malachi, chapter 4, verse 5 and 6, and Malachi is the 00:47:00.920 |
book right before Matthew, so just turn to the Gospel of Matthew, to the beginning, and 00:47:08.080 |
If you have a Bible like mine, it has a page about the New Testament, flip that page over. 00:47:13.280 |
Malachi, chapter 4, verse 5, yeah, verse 5 and 6. 00:47:20.920 |
And it reads, "Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of 00:47:28.600 |
He will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children 00:47:33.280 |
to their fathers, so that I will not come and smite the land with a curse." 00:47:39.640 |
And so, they're asking Jesus, "What's your interpretation of this verse? 00:47:45.760 |
Elijah has to come first and restore all things, what does that mean?" 00:47:50.040 |
And so, they're asking, they're asking this because if the disciples are correct, if the 00:47:53.600 |
disciples are correct with their identification that Jesus is the Messiah, their natural question 00:48:06.320 |
Now we notice in verse 12 that Jesus affirms the teaching of the scribes and the prophecy 00:48:12.200 |
found in Malachi by saying, "Elijah does first come and restore all things." 00:48:21.800 |
And he, you know, Malachi 4, 5, 6, it just kind of describes like a restoration of the 00:48:25.880 |
spiritual, spiritual relationship and preparing the hearts of the fathers and their children 00:48:34.560 |
That's what it's kind of referring to, but it's also bringing into fact that there's 00:48:43.840 |
There's a suffering involved with both Elijah and the Messiah. 00:48:47.400 |
He says, further on in verse 12, "And yet how is it written of the Son of Man that he 00:48:52.080 |
will suffer many things and be treated with contempt?" 00:48:56.920 |
And in verse 13, "But I say to you that Elijah has indeed come, and they did to him whatever 00:49:04.380 |
And so, here we have this coming of Elijah and the Messiah and the promise of restoration. 00:49:12.760 |
And yet here Jesus is posing another question to them, saying, "Elijah did come, but he 00:49:20.760 |
He suffered just like how the Son of Man will suffer." 00:49:23.160 |
So you have to kind of question, I mean, if you're in the disciple's shoes and you kind 00:49:29.680 |
of studied Malachi, you're kind of wondering, like, what the heck is going on here? 00:49:33.000 |
Like, Malachi promised restoration, and you're telling us that they're suffering. 00:49:40.160 |
And so in essence, in essence, what Jesus is revealing is that there are going to be 00:49:48.720 |
There's going to be two advents of Christ, and as a result, there will be two advents 00:49:56.880 |
Matthew 17, verse 13 states that the disciples understood that John the Baptist was Elijah, 00:50:02.220 |
so they viewed him as the Elijah of Malachi, chapter 4, verse 5 and 6. 00:50:08.800 |
And so there are two comings of Christ, and there will be two comings of Elijah, the first 00:50:18.520 |
So the question that we have to ask is, you know, if the Messiah's suffering doesn't usher 00:50:22.600 |
in the kingdom, and doesn't usher in this kind of full restoration, then does this mean 00:50:30.080 |
that the prophecy in Malachi 4, chapter 5 is unfulfilled? 00:50:35.720 |
Those who say yes, that the prophecy in Malachi 4, verse 5 is fulfilled, they will have to 00:50:45.040 |
do some crazy handiwork in kind of explaining all the prophecies of the restoration of the 00:50:54.560 |
But anyways, basically, the stance that, at least what I see in the Bible, is the fact 00:51:04.400 |
Meaning there are going to be, I mean, Jesus already came down once, with Elijah preceding 00:51:10.120 |
him, and I believe that there's going to be another Elijah that's going to come before 00:51:17.320 |
And that Elijah will make the road straight, and will bring in the kingdom of God. 00:51:27.920 |
And so, there's this aspect of double fulfillment. 00:51:31.360 |
I'm pretty sure all of you guys have kind of heard about this idea of like, you know, 00:51:36.360 |
That kind of concept of a double fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, this prophecy 00:51:42.020 |
would fall under that category of already but not yet. 00:51:48.720 |
As one of the commentators write, he writes that when you take all the Elijah references 00:51:55.960 |
and put them together, such as Malachi 3, verse 1, and Malachi 4, chapter 5, verse 6, 00:52:01.480 |
and these other references in the Gospels, it's a consistent explanation that points 00:52:08.680 |
to two comings of Elijah, and also the two comings of Christ. 00:52:14.000 |
And so, there you go about that with the question of Elijah. 00:52:28.640 |
Do you guys believe that there are going to be two Elijahs? 00:52:38.480 |
So, when we read 4 verse 5, I mean, I believe in already but not yet, the only trove I read 00:52:44.480 |
is verse 5 says, "The great and awesome, the great and terrible." 00:52:50.480 |
How does the first coming fit in with "the great and terrible"? 00:52:53.480 |
I understand the word "great," the fact that he's come is great, but how is the 00:53:06.480 |
The first time he comes as a lamb, how does "terrible" fit into that description? 00:53:12.480 |
So, how does, in Malachi chapter 4 verse 5, how does that word, or the adjective "terrible," 00:53:22.480 |
I accept that it's in reference to the first and second, because Jesus says, he's quoting 00:53:29.480 |
it, and he's saying this is in reference to right now, but not yet. 00:53:33.480 |
He's doing a commentary on that verse, but I don't see how "terrible" could 00:53:47.480 |
Well, I guess you would have to see that word "terrible" as describing the day 00:53:52.480 |
And so, I don't think the day of the Lord occurred in the first coming. 00:53:57.480 |
I think the day of the Lord is in reference to just the second coming, so… 00:54:01.480 |
But if this is in reference to the first time, he says, "Well, this is going to be 00:54:06.480 |
I don't think that's what he's saying, but how does that adjective fit in at all? 00:54:14.480 |
Well, I mean, maybe not just this passage alone, but also Malachi 3.1 also describes 00:54:24.480 |
Malachi 3.1 states, "Behold, I am going to send my messenger, and he will clear the 00:54:29.480 |
way before me, and the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple, and the 00:54:33.480 |
messenger of the covenant, whom you delight, behold, he is coming," says the Lord of 00:54:39.480 |
And so, perhaps verse 5 is just in reference to the second coming. 00:54:47.480 |
Chapter 3, verse 1 is in reference to the first coming. 00:54:51.480 |
But then you would have to try to figure out what verse 6, where does that fit in? 00:54:56.480 |
Because naturally it would fit in with the second coming, because verse 5 is talking 00:55:00.480 |
about the second coming, but we look at verse 6 and we're kind of like, "Oh, he will 00:55:04.480 |
restore the hearts of the fathers to their children, the hearts of the children to their 00:55:07.480 |
fathers, so that I will not come and smite the land with a curse." 00:55:11.480 |
So is that referring to the first coming or the second coming? 00:55:35.480 |
Terrible as in like bad, like a bad connotation. 00:56:02.480 |
I mean, you could also just talk about just how... 00:56:12.480 |
I can't remember if terrible being given a bad connotation, if that was just a matter 00:56:17.480 |
of human language over time, just kind of giving it a bad connotation, but perhaps back 00:56:22.480 |
then it was more of a description of how grand, how momentous this occasion will be when the 00:56:39.480 |
Were you basing that on, or is that like, like speculation? 00:56:45.480 |
Or is that, you know, the theological account? 00:56:47.480 |
Okay, so what verse is the second coming of Elijah? 00:56:53.480 |
I think that is reference to just all the Old Testament prophecies because you have 00:57:00.480 |
to realize that it says that Elijah will come and restore all things. 00:57:05.480 |
Yet you look at when John the Baptist came and when Jesus Christ came, not all things 00:57:11.480 |
And so, that leads to, you have to look back to Old Testament prophecies and see like, 00:57:17.480 |
well, is it restored in a sense of like a non-literal restoration? 00:57:23.480 |
Like, we all agree that there's a spiritual restoration that took place when John the 00:57:33.480 |
But is that all of it, or is that just the already not yet kind of answer that we've 00:57:42.480 |
So, for me, it's just when I read these prophecies and he's talking about how, you know, he's 00:57:49.480 |
going to come to the great and terrible day of the Lord. 00:57:51.480 |
The concept of the day of the Lord is like, is talking about the end times and clearly 00:57:59.480 |
And so, this gives me the, at least the idea that there is going to be another coming of 00:58:06.480 |
Like the act of seeing Elijah in the Old Testament, or is that unknown? 00:58:14.480 |
So, I mean, people didn't know John the Baptist was the first coming of Elijah until, you 00:58:20.480 |
know, well, the disciples figured it out, but yeah. 00:58:25.480 |
The other thing is like we were talking about how people were terrible, awful, dreadful, 00:58:31.480 |
It's like in this few chapters in New York Christianity where it said that like Christians, 00:58:37.480 |
we love the holiness of God, but we also hate it because we're sinners. 00:58:41.480 |
And because we dread it, you know, because although we're sanctified or we get justified, 00:58:46.480 |
in the presence of God, still we'll fall down like dead men because we are still sinful. 00:58:51.480 |
And so I'm sure that if we were to ascetize and saw the transfiguration, it would be, 00:59:02.480 |
So the terrible is in the sense of the coming of this holy God. 00:59:19.480 |
Would you agree that the idea of the two Elijahs, it wasn't crystallized that Jesus said it. 00:59:26.480 |
It was in the Old Testament, it was kind of sprinkled. 00:59:29.480 |
But do you think they were able, like do you think one would have been able to deduce that 00:59:36.480 |
Or did we have to wait for Jesus to say what he said, and then to, and to give a commentary 00:59:49.480 |
So James' question is, did the people of the Old Testament or as, you know, they received 00:59:54.480 |
the book of Malachi, did they understand, right, if there were going to be like these 01:00:01.480 |
I'm going to stick to what we saw with the blind man at Bethsaida. 01:00:14.480 |
I think there's a sense of progressive understanding. 01:00:17.480 |
And so I don't think anyone would have understood that there were going to be two comings of 01:00:22.480 |
Elijah and two comings of Jesus outside of help, which they received with Christ and 01:00:30.480 |
So, so the people of the Old Testament, they, I mean, they searched, they searched long 01:00:35.480 |
and hard for all this, but, you know, they couldn't come to a definitive answer. 01:00:43.480 |
And, and again, there's aspects of the Bible in which we don't know either. 01:00:51.480 |
We don't know how we're, you know, we're responsible for sin and how, you know, if 01:00:58.480 |
There's certain things that we just, I guess, won't understand. 01:01:01.480 |
And perhaps we may understand later, perhaps, but. 01:01:07.480 |
And so there's a sense in which this is, this in itself is an act of grace in which 01:01:11.480 |
God is, where Christ is just kind of giving his disciples further insight into the 01:02:05.480 |
Right. Peter's question is, is second coming of Elijah kind of referenced in 01:02:12.480 |
Revelation chapter 11, right? That's, that's your question? 01:02:23.480 |
And personally for me, I don't know, I haven't did like a study on that. 01:02:28.480 |
But yeah, I mean, I do acknowledge that there are commentaries that do say that 01:02:32.480 |
Elijah is one of these two witnesses that is mentioned in Revelation 11. 01:02:38.480 |
So I guess for now I'll side with the commentators. 01:02:45.480 |
And let's piggyback on their work until I figure it out. 01:03:13.480 |
I'm going to just end it here on this note with one more thing. 01:03:17.480 |
Turn with me to 2 Peter chapter 1 verse 13 really quick. 01:03:27.480 |
we know that 2 Peter is, you know, this is the last leg of Peter's life. 01:03:32.480 |
He's about to die, probably about to be martyred. 01:03:35.480 |
And the thing that's on his mind at the point of his death 01:03:41.480 |
is this event that we just read in Mark chapter 9 verse 1 and 13. 01:03:49.480 |
"Therefore I will always be ready to remind you of these things, 01:03:54.480 |
and have been established in the truth which is present in you. 01:03:57.480 |
I consider it right, as long as I am in this earthly dwelling, 01:04:05.480 |
knowing that the laying aside of my earthly dwelling is imminent, 01:04:08.480 |
as also our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me." 01:04:18.480 |
"For we do not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you 01:04:23.480 |
the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, 01:04:31.480 |
For when he received honor and glory from God the Father, 01:04:35.480 |
such an utterance as this was made to him by the majestic glory, 01:04:39.480 |
'This is my beloved Son with whom I am well pleased.' 01:04:42.480 |
And we ourselves heard this utterance made from heaven 01:04:49.480 |
And so again, we take note that this transfiguration event 01:04:59.480 |
I mean, don't get me wrong, it's not done yet. 01:05:02.480 |
Peter still has to make the three denials that we're going to see 01:05:07.480 |
We know he's going to deny Jesus three times, 01:05:10.480 |
and he's going to weep, and he's going to repent. 01:05:15.480 |
But again, this event really left a mark in Peter's life, 01:05:21.480 |
and even on his dying deathbed before he's about to perish, 01:05:26.480 |
he wants to stir up a reminder of this event. 01:05:29.480 |
And again, perhaps some of us have moments in our own lives 01:05:34.480 |
where we can remember God being active or being clearly present 01:05:41.480 |
in our lives, doing whatever blessing it may be. 01:05:49.480 |
It kind of went a little bit longer than I wanted. 01:05:52.480 |
But please pair up with someone that you believe-- 01:05:56.480 |
I mean, I'm not going to make a joke out of this one. 01:06:00.480 |
Pair up with someone and share with each other, maybe, 01:06:08.480 |
you know, you have seen God clearly working in your life. 01:06:14.480 |
I'm only asking that question because of what happened to Peter. 01:06:22.480 |
So on your deathbed, what would you want to share with someone 01:06:26.480 |
in regards to how God has influenced your life? 01:06:36.480 |
And if you have any questions, feel free to ask. 01:06:38.480 |
I will be walking around passing out homework.
