[3348.64 --> 3350.50] you like best
[3350.50 --> 3351.40] or find the
[3351.40 --> 3352.48] most palatable.
[3354.56 --> 3355.48] Another example
[3355.48 --> 3356.02] of this, and I
[3356.02 --> 3356.58] hesitate to tell
[3356.58 --> 3356.90] you that I've
[3356.90 --> 3357.44] seen this movie,
[3357.54 --> 3358.34] but in the movie
[3358.34 --> 3359.30] Talladega Nights,
[3360.48 --> 3361.12] Ricky Bobby
[3361.12 --> 3362.92] prays to baby
[3362.92 --> 3364.50] Jesus because he
[3364.50 --> 3365.14] likes the baby
[3365.14 --> 3365.76] Jesus better
[3365.76 --> 3366.78] because the baby
[3366.78 --> 3367.28] Jesus is going
[3367.28 --> 3367.68] to get him all
[3367.68 --> 3368.04] that money.
[3370.62 --> 3371.82] The reality is
[3371.82 --> 3372.68] some of you
[3372.68 --> 3374.02] prefer a Jesus
[3374.02 --> 3375.30] safely on the
[3375.30 --> 3375.82] pages of the
[3375.82 --> 3376.40] Bible and in
[3376.40 --> 3377.38] history, but not
[3377.38 --> 3378.26] active in the
[3378.26 --> 3378.90] world by the
[3378.90 --> 3379.56] Holy Spirit.
[3380.04 --> 3380.72] Some of us
[3380.72 --> 3381.90] prefer Jesus
[3381.90 --> 3382.58] who is a good
[3382.58 --> 3383.70] teacher, but we
[3383.70 --> 3384.24] don't think we
[3384.24 --> 3384.96] need any more
[3384.96 --> 3386.14] from him or of
[3386.14 --> 3386.76] him than that.
[3387.18 --> 3388.10] Sometimes we like
[3388.10 --> 3388.96] the idea of
[3388.96 --> 3389.86] Jesus as a
[3389.86 --> 3391.28] Savior, but not
[3391.28 --> 3392.28] as the Lord
[3392.28 --> 3394.12] of our lives.
[3396.40 --> 3396.94] I'm going to
[3396.94 --> 3397.88] let you, like
[3397.88 --> 3398.70] Mary, ponder
[3398.70 --> 3399.56] these things in
[3399.56 --> 3401.08] your heart, figure
[3401.08 --> 3401.80] out which one is
[3401.80 --> 3401.98] you.
[3403.46 --> 3404.30] I can tell you
[3404.30 --> 3405.98] for myself, for
[3405.98 --> 3406.80] the longest time,
[3407.16 --> 3408.20] I preferred the
[3408.20 --> 3409.12] Jesus of my
[3409.12 --> 3410.22] doctrines and my
[3410.22 --> 3411.42] theological systems
[3411.42 --> 3413.14] because ideas I
[3413.14 --> 3413.94] can grasp.
[3415.04 --> 3416.18] Ideas and systems
[3416.18 --> 3417.14] I can box up
[3417.14 --> 3418.22] nice and tidy,
[3418.72 --> 3420.06] and by being able
[3420.06 --> 3420.74] to box those
[3420.74 --> 3421.54] things up nice and
[3421.54 --> 3422.36] tidy, I can
[3422.36 --> 3423.26] exercise some
[3423.26 --> 3425.88] control in my
[3425.88 --> 3426.56] relationship to
[3426.56 --> 3426.82] God.
[3427.84 --> 3429.12] The reality of
[3429.12 --> 3430.38] Jesus active in
[3430.38 --> 3431.26] the world and in
[3431.26 --> 3432.54] my heart, demanding
[3432.54 --> 3434.24] my devotion and
[3434.24 --> 3435.22] every square inch
[3435.22 --> 3436.20] of my life was,
[3436.48 --> 3436.84] well, that was
[3436.84 --> 3437.90] harder to accept
[3437.90 --> 3438.88] and to come to
[3438.88 --> 3439.84] love and to
[3439.84 --> 3440.60] realize that I
[3440.60 --> 3440.90] need.
[3442.78 --> 3443.86] But if you are
[3443.86 --> 3444.60] hungry for
[3444.60 --> 3447.24] meaning, if this
[3447.24 --> 3448.36] Christmas you are
[3448.36 --> 3449.42] looking for a
[3449.42 --> 3450.92] purpose that lasts,
[3450.92 --> 3452.90] the truth is, you
[3452.90 --> 3453.74] are looking for
[3453.74 --> 3455.14] the real Jesus.
[3457.22 --> 3459.22] And so we all
[3459.22 --> 3460.22] together need to
[3460.22 --> 3461.32] stop accepting
[3461.32 --> 3462.82] substitutes or
[3462.82 --> 3464.14] fabrications or
[3464.14 --> 3465.88] lesser glories.
[3466.70 --> 3467.94] Come to the one
[3467.94 --> 3468.86] true God who
