  Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to this a bide bedtime story to night.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I'm here to remind you that God loves you and
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: wants you to find RESTful sleep. And this story is
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the wisdom of Jesus. When he was on earth, Jesus
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: said many many things. In the Book of John. There
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: seemed to be more long passages of things that he
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: said to those who were following him. The words chosen
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: for this meditation to night are truths recorded by John
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: so that he would have them for all time. And
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: at the end, John wrote, Now, there are also many
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to be written, I suppose that the world itself could
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: not contain the books that would be written. Settle down
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: into your bed, make sure you are comfortable and relaxed,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: and then take a deep, cleansing breath. Let the words
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: of Jesus minister to your soul to night as you sleep,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: knowing that He had you in mind when he said them.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Nothing he said was only for the crowds at that
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: time to hear, but for all of eternity. In fact,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: all the other gospel writers recorded Jesus's saying Heaven and
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Earth will pass away but my words will not pass away.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Let me pray as we begin, Lord Jesus, Living and
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: eternal God, we treasure your word in our hearts. Tonight
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I pray over this beloved child of yours, that they
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: might might's sleep in peace because your words are spoken
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: over them. Help them to release all their cares into
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: your arms because you care for them. Thank you for
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: coming to earth and leaving behind so rich a treasury
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: of wisdom and love. We thank you and praise you
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: in your wondrous and powerful name. Amen. Now listen to
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: the wisdom of Jesus. From the Gospel of John, chapters
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: one through twelve in the English Standard version. From chapter one,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Jesus saw Nathaniel coming toward him and said of him,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: behold an Israelite, indeed in whom there is no deceit.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Nathaniel said to him, how do you know me? Jesus
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: answered him. Before Philip called you, when you were under
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the fig tree, I saw you. Nathaniel answered him, Rabbi,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: you are the son of God. You are the King
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: of Israel. Jesus answered him, because I said to you,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I saw you under the fig tree. Do you believe
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: you will see greater things? Than these, And he said
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: to him, truly, truly, I say to you, you will
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: descending on the son of Man. From John chapter three.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: by night and said to him, Rabbi, we know that
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: you are a teacher. Come from God. For no one
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: can do these signs that you do unless God is
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: with him. Jesus answered him, truly, truly, I say to you,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: unless one is born again, we cannot see the Kingdom
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: of God. Nicodemus said to him, how can a man
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: be born when he is old? Can he enter a
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: second time into his mother's womb and be born? Jesus answered, truly, truly,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I say to you, unless one is born of water
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: and the spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: that which is born of the spirit is spirit. Do
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: not marvel that I said to you you must be
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: born again. The wind blows where it wishes, and you
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: hear it sound, but you do not know where it comes.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: From or where it goes. So it is with everyone
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: who is born of the spirit. Nicodemus said to him,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: how can these things be? Jesus answered him, Are you
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: the teacher of Israel? And yet you do not understand
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: these things? True? I say to you. We speak of
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: what we know and bear witness to what we have seen.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: But you do not receive our testimony. If I have
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: told you earthly things and you do not believe, how
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: can you believe if I tell you heavenly things. No
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the Son of Man. And as Moses lifted up the
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: eternal life. For God so loved the world that he
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: gave his only son, that whoever believes in him should
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: send his son into the world to condemn the world,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: but in order that the world might be saved through him.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Whoever believes in him is not condemned. But whoever does
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: not believe is dimmed already because he has not believed
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: in the name of the only son of God. From
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: John chapter four, a woman from Samaria came to draw water.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Jesus said to her, give me a drink, for his
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: The Samaritan woman said to him, how is it that you,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: a Jew, asked for a drink from me, a woman
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: of Samaria, For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans. Jesus
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: answered her, if you knew the gift of God and
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: who it is that is saying to you give me
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: a drink, you would have asked him and he would
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: have given you living water. The woman said to him, Sir,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: you have nothing to draw water with, and the well
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: is deep. Where do you get that living water? Are
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: you greater than our father Jacob? He gave us the
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: well and drank from it himself, as did his sons
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: and his livestock. Jesus said to her, every one who
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: drinks of this water will be thirsty again. But whoever
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: drinks of the water that I will give him never
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: be thirsty again. The water that I will give him
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: will become in him a spring of water welling up
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: to eternal life. The woman said to him, Sir, give
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: me this water so that I will not be thirsty
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: or have to come here to draw water. Meanwhile, the
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: disciples were urging him, saying, Rabbi, eat, But he said
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: to them, I have food to eat that you do
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: not know about. So the disciples said to one another,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: has anyone brought him something to eat? Jesus said to them,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: my food is to do the will of him who
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: sent me, and to accomplish his work. Do you not
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: say there are yet four months? Then comes the harvest. Look,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I tell you, lift up your eyes and see that
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the fields are white for harvest. Already the one who
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: so that sower and reaper may rejoice together. For here
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the saying holds true. One sows and another reaps. I
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: sent you to reap that for which you did not labor.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: From John chapter five. After this there was a feast
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: there is in Jerusalem by the sheep Gate a pool
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: and Aramaic called Bethseda, which has five roofed colonnades. In
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: these lay a multitude of in lids, blind, lame, and paralyzed.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: One man was there who had been an invalid for
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: thirty eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: knew that he had already been there a long time,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: he said to him, do you want to be healed?
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: The sick man answered him, Sir, I have no one
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: to put me into the pool when the water is
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: stirred up. And while I am going, another steps down
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: before me. Jesus said to him, get up, take up
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: your bed, and walk. And at once the man was healed,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: and he took up his bed and walked. So Jesus
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: said to them, truly, truly, I say to you, the
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: son can do nothing of his own accord, but only
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the father does,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: that the son does likewise. For the Father loves the
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: son and shows him all that he himself is doing.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: And greater works than these will he show him, so
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: that you may marvel. For as the Father raises the
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: dead and gives them life, so also the son gives
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: life to whom he will. For the Father judges no one,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: but has given all judgment to the son, that all
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: may honor the son, just as they honor the Father.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Whoever does not honor the son, does not honor the
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Father who sent him. Truly, truly, I say to you,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: as eternal life, he does not come into judgment, but
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: has passed from death to life. Truly, truly, I say
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: to you, an hour is coming and is now here
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: when the dead will hear the voice of the Son
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: of God, and those who hear will live. For as
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: the Father has life in himself, so he has granted
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: the Sun also to have life in himself. And he
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: has given him authority to execute judgment because he is
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: the son of Man. I can do nothing on my own.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: because I seek not my own will, but the will
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: of him who sent me. If I alone bear witness
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: about myself, my testimony is not true. There is another
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: who bears witness about me, and I know that the
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: testimony that he bears about me is true. You sent
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Not that the testimony that I receive is from Man.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: But I say these things so that you may be
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: saved He was a burning and shining lamp, and you
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: But the testimony that I have is greater than that
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: of John. For the works that the Father has given
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: me to accomplish, the very works that I am doing,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: bear witness about me that the Father has sent me,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: and the Father who sent me has himself or witness
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: about me his voice. You have never heard his form,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: you have never seen, and you do not have his
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: word abiding in you, for you do not believe the
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: one whom he has sent. From John chapter six. Jesus
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: answered them, this is the work of God that you
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: believe in him who he has sent. So they said
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: to him, then, what sign do you do that we
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: may see and believe you? What work do you perform?
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Our fathers ate the manna and the wilderness. As it
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: is written, he gave them bread from heaven to eat.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Jesus then said to them, truly, truly, I say to
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: you God, Moses, who gave you the bread from heaven.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: But my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: For the bread of God is he who comes down
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: from heaven and gives life to the world. They said
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: to him, Sir, give us this bread always. Jesus said
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: to them, I am the bread of life. Whoever comes
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: shall never thirst. But I said to you that you
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: have seen me, and yet do not believe. All that
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: the Father gives me will come to me. And whoever
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: comes to me I will never cast out, for I
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: have come down from heaven not to do my own will,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: but the will of him who sent me. This is
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the will of him who sent me, that I should
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: lose nothing of all that he has given me, but
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: raise it up on the last day. For this is
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the sun and believes in him should have eternal life.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: And I will raise him up on the last day.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: No one can come to me unless the Father who
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: sent me draws him, and I will raise him up
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: on the last day. It has written in the prophets,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: and they will all be taught by God. Every one
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Not that anyone has seen the Father, except he who
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: is from God. He has seen the Father. Truly, Truly,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. I
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: of it and not die. I am the living bread
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: that come down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: he will live forever. And the bread that I will
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: give for the life of the world is my flesh.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: From John chapter seven. So Jesus answered them, My teaching
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: is not mine, but his who sent me. If any
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: one's will is to do God's will, he will know
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: whether the teaching is from God or whether I am
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: speaking on my own authority. The one who speaks on
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: his own authority seeks his own glory. But the one
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: who seeks the glory of Him who sent him is true,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: and in him there is no falsehood. So Jesus proclaimed,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: as he taught in the temple. You know me, and
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: you know where I come from. But I have not
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: come of my own accord. He who sent me is true,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: and him you do not know. I know him, for
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: I come from Him and he sent me. On the
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: last day of the Feast, the Great Day, Jesus stood
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: up and cried out if anyone thirsts, let him come
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: of living water. Now this he said about the spirit,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: whom those who believed in him were to receive, For
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: as yet the spirit had not been given, because Jesus
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: was not yet glorified. From John chapter eight. Jesus stood
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: up and said to her woman, where are they? Has
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: no one condemned you? She said, no one, Lord, And
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Jesus said, neither do I condemn you. Go and from
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: now on sin no more. Again, Jesus spoke to them, say,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: will not walk in darkness, but will have the light
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: of life. So the Pharisees said to him, you are
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: bearing witness about yourself. Your testimony is not true. Jesus answered,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: even if I do bear witness about myself, my testimony
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: is true. For I know where I came from and
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: where I am going. But you do not know where
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: I come from or where I am going. You judge
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: according to the flesh. I judge no one. Yet, even
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: if I do judge, my judgment is true, for it
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: is not I alone who judge, but I am the
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Father who sent me. In your law, it is written
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: that the testimony of two people is true. I am
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: the one who bears witness about myself, and the Father
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: who sent me bears witness about me. Jesus said to them,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: when you have lifted up the son of Man, then
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: you will know that I am he, and that I
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: do nothing on my own authority, but speak just as
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: the Father taught me, and he who sent me is
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: with me. He has not left me alone, for I
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: always do the things that are pleasing to him. As
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: he was saying these things, many believed him. So Jesus
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: said to the Jews who had believed him, if you
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: you will know the truth, and the truth will set
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: you free. Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: practices sin is a slave. To sin, the slave does
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: not remain in the house forever. The son remains forever.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: So if the Son sets you free, you will be free. Indeed.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: From John chapter nine, as he passed by, he saw
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: a man blind from birth, and his disciples asked him, Rabbi,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: who sinned this man? Or his parents that he was
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: born blind. Jesus answered, it was not that this man
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: sinned or his parents, but that the works of God
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: might be displayed in him. We must work the works
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: of Him who sent me while it is day. Night
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: is coming, when no one can work. As long as
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I am in the world, I am the light of
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: the world. From John chapter ten. Truly, truly, I say
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: to you. He who does not enter the sheep fold
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: by the door, but climbs in by another way, that
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: man is a thief and a robber. But he who
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: To him, the gatekeeper opens the sheep. Hear his voice,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: them out. When he has brought out all his own,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: they know his voice. Stranger, they will not follow, but
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: they will flee from him, for they do not know
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: the voice of strangers. So Jesus said to them, Truly, truly,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: All who came before me are thieves and robbers, But
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: the sheep did not listen to them. I am the
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: door If anyone enters by me, he will be saved
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: and will go in and out and find pasture. The
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: thief comes only to steal, and kill and destroy. I
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: his life for the sheep. I am the good shepherd.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I know my own, and my own know me, just
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: as the Father knows me, and I know the Father.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: And I lay down my life for the sheep. And
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: I have other sheep that are not of this fold.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: I must bring them also, and they will listen to
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: my voice, so there will be one flock, one shepherd.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: For this reason, the Father loves me, because I lay
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: down my life that I may take it up again.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: No one takes it from me, but I lay it
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: down of my own accord. I have authority to lay
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: it down, and I have authority to take it up again.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Discharge I have received from my Father. My sheep hear
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: I give them eternal life, and they will never perish,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: My father, who has given them to me, is greater
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: than all and no one is able to snatch them
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: out of the Father's hand. I and the Father are
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: one from John chapter eleven. And Jesus said to her,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: your brother will rise again. Martha said to him, I
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: know that he will rise again and the resurrection on
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the last day. Jesus said to her, I am the
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: yet shall he live. And everyone who lives and believes
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: in me shall never die. Do you believe this? She
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: said to him, yes, Lord, I believe that you are
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: the Christ, the Son of God was coming into the world.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Then Jesus deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: was a cave, and a stone lay against it. Jesus said,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead man,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: said to him, Lord, by this time there will be
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: an odor, for he has been dead four days. Jesus
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: said to her, did I not tell you that if
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: you believed, you would see the glory of God. So
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: they took away the stone, and Jesus lifted up his
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: eyes and said, Father, I thank you that you have
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: I said this on account of the people standing around,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: and they may believe that you send me. When he
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Lazarus come out. The man who had died came out,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: his hands and feet bound with linen shrips, and his
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, unbind
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: him and let him go. From John chapter twelve, Jesus
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: answered them, the hour has come for the son of
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Man to be glorified. Truly, Truly, I say to you.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: it remains alone. But if it dies there is much fruit.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: If anyone serves me, he must follow me. And where
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I am there will my servant be. Also, if anyone
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: serves me, the Father will honor him. Now is my
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: soul troubled? And what shall I say? Father? Save me
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: from this hour? But for this purpose I have come
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: to this hour. Father, glorify your name. Then a voice
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: came from heaven. I have glorified it, and I will
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: glorify it again. So Jesus said to them, the light
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: is among you for a little while. Longer walk while
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: you have the light, lest its darkness overtake you. The
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: one who walks in the darkness does not know where
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: he is going. While you have the light. Believe in
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: the light, that you may become sons of light. And
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Jesus cried out and said, whoever believes in me believes
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: not in me, but in him who sent me, And
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: whoever sees me sees him who sent me. I have
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: come into the world as light, so that whoever believes
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: in me may not remain in darkness. If anyone hears
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: my words and does not keep them, I do not
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: judge him, for I did not come to judge the world,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: but to save the world. The one who rejects me
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: and does not receive my words has a judge. The
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: word that I have spoken will judge him on the
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: last day. For I have not spoken on my own authority.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: But the Father who sent me has himself given me
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: a commandment what to say and what to speak. And
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: I say, as the Father has told me. Jesus, we
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: love you so much. Your word means everything to us
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: as your child sleeps tonight. I pray that the words
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: spoken over them will seep into their soul and find
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: rest there. I pray that they will hide them in
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: their heart and let them draw them closer and closer
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: to you. I pray that the peace that passes understanding
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: will guard their hearts and minds, and you may they
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: repeat these words they have heard throughout their day, so
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: that they may have a calm heart wherever they go.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: It's in your precious name that I pray, Amen, with
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: the words of Jesus, abide in your heart and mind.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Rest deeply and soundly and peacefully.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me,
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: a sinner. Lord Jesus christ, Son of God, have mercy
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: on me, a sinner. Feel yourself relaxing, just falling back,
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: surrendering yourself and being held up by the strong right
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: hand of God. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: mercy on me, a sinner. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God,
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: have mercy on me, a sinner. Lord Jesus Christ, Son
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Jesus uses
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: this prayer in a parable about a pious pharisee and
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: a despised tax collector. Jesus tells of the pride of
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: the pharisee and the humility of the lowly tax collector,
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: too humble to even look up to God as he prays,
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: too ashamed to even glance towards Heaven, beating his chest
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: in agony over the weight of sin he feels on
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: his shoulders. Can you relate to him in the simple
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: prayer of this tax collector. The prayer Jesus said would
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: make this man righteous before God. The prayer Jesus said
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: would lift this man into the very presence of God.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me,
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: a sinner. Lord Jesus, christ Son of God, have mercy
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: on me, a sinner. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Have mercy on me, a sinner. Release the weight of
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: your worldly cares as you focus on the mercy of Jesus,
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Oh Peaceful and Heavenly Father, Give this one your child
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: rest for the refreshing of their soul and body. Grant
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: this one this gift. I pray. Keep them in that
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: perfect peace which you have promised to them whose mind
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: is fixed on you, and give them such a sense
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: of your presence that in these moments of silence they
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: may enjoy the blessed assurance of your love through you. Lord,
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: a sinner. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: on me, a sinner. The words are important, not just Lord,
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: not just Jesus, and not just Christ, but Lord, submitting
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: to his authority, and Jesus acknowledging his humanity in Christ,
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: honoring his title the Messiah. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: have mercy on me, a sinner. Lord Jesus Christ, Son
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Lord Jesus Christ,
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Mercy
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: means to show compassion or forgiveness towards someone who doesn't
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: deserve it and has done nothing to earn it. Mercy
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: grace the very center and core of God's gift to you.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: So just rest in it tonight. Receive it, Oh beautiful
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: and Loving Father, Be merciful to this one, Oh, God,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: because of your constant love, because of your great mercy,
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Wipe away their sins, wash away all evil, and make
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: them clean. Let them hear the sounds of joy and gladness.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Create in them a pure heart, and give them again
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: the joy that comes from your salvation. God, grant this
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: one peace so that they can have a renewed, fresh
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: spirit ready to face every day. In Jesus' name, Amen,
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: feel Jesus's embrace. Feel Jesus whispering his love and care
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: and mercy for you as you continue to relax. I
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: want you to pace your breathing as you listen to
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: the prayer of the tax collector. Let his prayer become yours.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: As you rest, as you find calm and peace, Listen
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: as I read the Jesus Prayer with longer and longer
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: pauses between, and use the pauses to settle your thoughts
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: on Jesus. You may notice that your thoughts wander in
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: the moments of stillness, and that's perfectly natural. Each time
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: your mind begins to wander, and it will happen. Just
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: let the wanderings be a reminder to come back gently
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: to the thoughts of mercy of Jesus. Let the prayers
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: center you back into the peace of Christ. Lord, Jesus
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: christ Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Lord,
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: Jesus christ Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Lord,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Jesus christ Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Lord.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Jesus christ Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Lord,
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: Jesus christ Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Lord,
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Jesus christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
