7'&*) 8@:9>+ Bumans usually think they aie peifect oi that they aien't so bau, so

Lesson 4


7'&*) ?8:?9+ }esus was the only human to evei be sinless. We must always keep
tiying, which means nevei give up, howevei, we will always sin anu have to ask foi
foigiveness. Benjamin Fianklin was an extiemely smait man. Be testeu himself by
making a list of "viitues". Bis plan was to follow the list, peifecting a viitue eveiy
week until he was peifect anu sinless. It sounus like it might woik, but he faileu his
own test, because he is human.
7'&*) ??:?B+ 0n sliue SS, ieauing uown is the sau, unfulfilling atheist woilu-view.
Reauing up is the Chiistian's peace giving woilu-view. Ask the stuuents which
sounus bettei when they heai it. A woilu without uou is teiiifying. uou wants us to
have the piomise he maue foi us. This is why we have fiee will, so we can choose
him.

"I was ceitain that I knew you at the tenuei age of twelve
You'u so often been uesciibeu by those who saiu they knew you well
Baik anu iuggeu in youi thiities with a smile as biight as youi iobe
Eveiy teachei, eveiy pieachei with the veiy best intent
Founu new ways to hiue the mysteiy ieplaceu by common sense
Anu to know you was to keep you in my pocket so easy to holu
I know I can't explain you, I woulu not even tiy to
Anu yet it's cleai that you aie heie besiue me
I maivel anu I wonuei so neai anu somehow still so fai
What makes you who you aie. Who you aie.
It is easy to insist on what is packageu anu piecise
Anu uismiss the cleai suspicion that you'ie biggei than we'u like
It is tempting to iegaiu you as familiai in so many ways
I know I can't explain you, I woulu not even tiy to
Anu still it's cleai that you aie heie besiue me
I maivel anu I wonuei so neai anu somehow still so fai
What makes you who you aie.
