| 0:00.0 | The We've all heard stories about extraordinary inheritances, a business empire or exorbitant |
| 0:30.4 | wealth or a precious family heirloom that is passed from one generation to another. |
| 0:35.1 | But today on Truth for Life we'll learn why all of these things rolled together |
| 0:39.2 | don't hold a candle to what God has set aside for every believer. |
| 0:45.0 | Alister Begg is teaching today from 1st Peter chapter 1. |
| 0:50.0 | If in the third verse we saw what we've been given, says Peter, into an inheritance. Now once again we realize that |
| 1:08.0 | inheritances are not earned. You receive, as a result of the |
| 1:13.7 | beneficial of a previous generation or two. |
| 1:18.0 | And so it is that for the Christian, we are going to enter, says Peter, |
| 1:22.4 | into something that will never perish or spoil or fade, |

| 2:07.0 | mansion up there, you know, I'm heading from my mansion. The fight of the matter is that most of us live in |
| 2:15.8 | such palatial surroundings that we can't imagine anything much better than |
| 2:19.2 | where we are, especially when we compare it with a third of the world that today is starving to death |
| 2:26.3 | and that every minute of our morning worship a child under the age of five has died on the streets of Kolkata. Our inheritance is not ultimately wrapped up in |
| 2:37.1 | mansions on gold streets and thrones and crowns and robes and |
| 2:42.3 | splendour. our inheritance is wrapped up not in a package but in a person. |
| 2:49.0 | Ultimately our inheritance is to see Jesus and to be made like him. To be able to have a face-to-face |
| 2:55.9 | dialogue with the risen Christ. To be able to know his gaze upon us, to be able to hear |
