Trying to get in
shape for my trip to India.
00:00:18.73\00:00:21.24
Christ said to go into all
the world and preach the gospel
00:00:21.27\00:00:25.23
to every creature.
00:00:25.26\00:00:26.23
The problem is we
have no idea who they are.
00:00:26.24\00:00:32.22
How are we supposed to
effectively communicate the
00:00:32.25\00:00:34.51
gospel to a people
we know nothing about;
00:00:34.54\00:00:37.00
how they think; what kind
of pressures they have in their
00:00:37.03\00:00:40.61
daily lives?
00:00:40.65\00:00:41.62
Come with me and let's
meet India face to face.
00:00:41.65\00:00:44.99
One of the things that surprised
me about India was how much
00:01:16.90\00:01:19.86
variety there is in the country.
00:01:19.89\00:01:21.52
India's got everything: plains,
mountains, jungle, desert.
00:01:21.55\00:01:25.76
The climate ranges from
tropical heat to Himalayan cool.
00:01:25.79\00:01:29.58
India has it all!
00:01:29.61\00:01:31.20
These are simple people, many
of whom have never even seen
00:01:36.25\00:01:39.24
paper money.
00:01:39.27\00:01:40.24
Yet in heaven's eyes each one is
worth more than the whole world.
00:01:40.25\00:01:43.12
But they live in fear and
uncertainty, worried about
00:01:43.15\00:01:45.69
offending one of the millions
of god's that they worship.
00:01:45.72\00:01:48.13
How do we reach them with
the good news of Jesus Christ?
00:01:48.16\00:01:50.51
God plants keys in each culture
that can provide an avenue
00:01:50.54\00:01:54.84
for the gospel to
enter, if we can find it.
00:01:54.87\00:01:56.99
And today we're out looking for
a key to the 900 million Hindu
00:01:57.02\00:02:01.11
hearts in India.
00:02:01.14\00:02:02.23
Isn't that exciting?
00:12:39.57\00:12:40.54
We've seen three
ways into the Hindu heart.
00:12:40.55\00:12:43.20
One is the sanctuary structure.
00:12:43.23\00:12:45.98
The way that the sanctuary
is built with the courtyard,
00:12:46.01\00:12:49.39
the holy place, and
the most holy place.
00:12:49.42\00:12:51.42
And the other one is the
substitutionary sacrifice;
00:12:51.45\00:12:53.98
the idea that something
else can pay for your sins.
00:12:54.01\00:12:57.23
And a third key is the
healing power of Jesus Christ
00:12:57.26\00:13:00.77
doing miracles.
00:13:00.80\00:13:01.83
There's another key that I found
while over there, but I didn't
00:13:01.86\00:13:04.91
get a chance to put it on tape,
and that is a Daniel 2 prophecy
00:13:04.94\00:13:08.49
where a stone will come out of
space and smash into the world.
00:13:08.52\00:13:11.50
Everything will be obliterated.
00:13:11.53\00:13:13.20
The problem is in the Hindu
religion there's no escape plan.
00:13:13.23\00:13:17.04
And so using these keys,
using these understandings,
00:13:17.07\00:13:20.76
using these avenues, we
can reach the Hindu heart
00:13:20.79\00:13:23.19
where they're at, and give
them the truth, the joy of the
00:13:23.22\00:13:27.56
service of Jesus Christ, of a
firm foundation to stand upon.
00:13:27.59\00:13:31.16
This small peak into Hinduism
has really aroused my curiosity.
00:13:31.19\00:13:35.47
