Is it very powerful word on an 24 00:01:47,100 --> 00:01:52,000 Asus and on an Asus means this it means an affectionate call to 25 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,000 remembrance. It's to remember something in an 26 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,300 affectionate manner something that you are attached to 27 00:01:58,300 --> 00:02:02,600 something that is etched into the fiber of your being and we 28 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,800 know how this works, we know the power of a memory and those 29 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,699 lasting memories that we have in life and those memories, we know 30 00:02:09,699 --> 00:02:13,400 can both be positive. As well as negative. 31 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:20,300 We know that we know that trauma or abuse or traumatic events and 32 00:02:20,300 --> 00:02:24,800 causes to have lasting negative emotions, we know people who 33 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,100 were in combat and suffer from PTSD, we've been through 34 00:02:29,100 --> 00:02:32,100 traumatic times who suffer with the same because those memories 35 00:02:32,100 --> 00:02:34,500 are etched in the depths of their being. 36 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,700 Those memories are not only - as we look at those affectionate 37 00:02:40,100 --> 00:02:43,900 memories, those those memories can also be positive. 38 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,000 I hope that their positive such as the first time you kiss your 39 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,800 spouse. I hope that's a positive memory. 40 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,800 That is etched into your mind. I know mine. 41 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:59,200 Is that first dance that you had with them, but that wedding day 42 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,000 or that wedding night Those things that have been engrafted 43 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:09,100 into the depth of your soul, the birth of a child, I can go back 44 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,400 and remember exactly what was going on in the day. 45 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,100 My children were born, I can close my eyes and I can vividly 46 00:03:16,100 --> 00:03:21,600 see that memory As well as those memorable vacations. 47 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:26,000 And trips those times where you were able to get away, and God 48 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,700 showed you, something that you've never seen. 49 00:03:27,700 --> 00:03:33,100 During that time of relaxation, Recreation, those special times 50 00:03:33,100 --> 00:03:36,600 again. Carved into your mind. 51 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,900 This is what the Apostle is talking about in referencing, 52 00:03:40,900 --> 00:03:43,000 Jesus. Actually, this is what Jesus was 53 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,800 talking about when he and Matthew said, do this in 54 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,600 remembrance of me, you saying, go back and grab And 55 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,100 affectionate memory that, you know, to be true. 56 00:03:56,100 --> 00:03:59,400 The instructions disciples to do this and through the course of 57 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,400 time here, all is in the First Corinthian. 58 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,400 Letter addressing the Corinthian Church because they have gotten 59 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,800 some things out of order. They had forgotten what the Lord 60 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,300 suffers truly all about. And as we prepare our hearts to 61 00:04:13,300 --> 00:04:16,500 observe the Lord's, Supper this morning in a call to remember 62 00:04:16,500 --> 00:04:19,800 Christ and what all he's done, I pray that we would not fall into 63 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,100 the error of the Corinthians who make this into something that 64 00:04:23,100 --> 00:04:27,200 it's not But that we would concentrate on what the Lord 65 00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:30,600 says that it is in the Lord says that this is a time of 66 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,100 remembrance and a time of affectionate remembrance of him 67 00:04:35,900 --> 00:04:41,000 who he is. What he has done he accomplished 68 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,900 through his death, his burial, his resurrection his Ascension 69 00:04:44,900 --> 00:04:49,200 and what he will accomplish when he returns it. 70 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,500 So, First Corinthians chapter 11, let's read it together. 71 00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:54,300 We'll start at verse 23 and as I said, we'll read all the way to 72 00:04:54,300 --> 00:04:57,700 32 and then we'll discuss this text in detail. 73 00:04:58,900 --> 00:05:01,600 Verse 23 says, for I received from the Lord, what I also 74 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,700 passed on to you. This is the Apostle Paul 75 00:05:03,700 --> 00:05:04,900 writing. The Corinthian Church saying 76 00:05:04,900 --> 00:05:06,700 this is instruction straight from the Lord. 77 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,000 The Lord Jesus on the night, he was betrayed took bread. 78 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,200 And when he had given thanks, he broke it. 79 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,000 And said, this is my body, which is for you. 80 00:05:15,500 --> 00:05:19,100 Do this in remembrance of me in the same way. 81 00:05:19,100 --> 00:05:22,000 After supper, he took the cup saying this cup is the New 82 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:28,000 Covenant in my blood. Do this whenever you drink it in 83 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,800 remembrance. Remembrance of me whenever you 84 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,400 drink or excuse me, you eat this bread and drink this cup, you 85 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,400 proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. 86 00:05:38,100 --> 00:05:40,200 Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the 87 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,800 Lord. In an unworthy manner will be 88 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,800 guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord verse 89 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,800 28. He says, a man ought to examine 90 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,500 himself before he eats of the bread and drink of the cup. 91 00:05:54,300 --> 00:05:58,400 For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of 92 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,800 the Lord eats and drinks judgment on himself. 93 00:06:02,700 --> 00:06:05,300 That is why many among you are weak and sick. 94 00:06:05,500 --> 00:06:07,900 And a number of you have fallen asleep. 95 00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:10,200 He's talking about death to the believer. 96 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,800 They have fallen asleep. In fact, God has executed his 97 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,300 discipline on their life in the form of removing them from the 98 00:06:16,300 --> 00:06:19,700 world. But if we judge ourselves, we 99 00:06:19,700 --> 00:06:23,600 would not come under judgment when we are judged by the Lord, 100 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,600 we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with 101 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,900 the world for all of you. So that's pretty harsh that the 102 00:06:29,900 --> 00:06:32,700 Lord would discipline them through sickness and illness and 103 00:06:32,700 --> 00:06:36,300 even death. It beats Eternal judgment, he's 104 00:06:36,300 --> 00:06:39,000 reminding them of that. We know that the writer of 105 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,600 Hebrews tells us is that whom the Lord loves he chastens. 106 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,100 He chastens with the rod. In fact, he goes on to say this, 107 00:06:45,100 --> 00:06:47,300 that if you were without chastening, your illegitimate 108 00:06:47,300 --> 00:06:51,200 isn't what the Apostle Paul is reminding, the Church of are the 109 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,800 instructions that he received concerning the Lord's, supper, 110 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,200 and how this ought to be observed. 111 00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,400 And what the purpose of it is as we look at this, as I've already 112 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:05,700 said that word, remembrance off the jump out at us that word 113 00:07:05,700 --> 00:07:09,700 remembrance, that affectionate recollection of the truths that 114 00:07:09,700 --> 00:07:12,800 we know surrounding Jesus. I stand, that's what I want to 115 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,900 look at today, is called breaks, this down for us, in verse 24. 116 00:07:15,900 --> 00:07:19,200 He speaks of the first point that we are going to look at 117 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,200 that. We should in this time of 118 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,900 remembrance, remember first, the Advent of Christ, the Advent of 119 00:07:25,900 --> 00:07:28,100 Christ. So we see the Advent of Christ, 120 00:07:28,100 --> 00:07:31,600 remembered verse 24. He tells us, he said, and when 121 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,100 he had given thanks, he broke it. 122 00:07:33,100 --> 00:07:37,500 And speaking of the bread, this is my body which is for you. 123 00:07:38,500 --> 00:07:43,000 Do this in remembrance of me, it's very important that we 124 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,800 understand what he was saying, when he was referencing the body 125 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,300 of Christ, he is referencing the actual literal, Advent of the 126 00:07:51,300 --> 00:07:55,200 god, man, the Lord Jesus Christ, who was fully God, and fully 127 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,100 man. And we must remember the body of 128 00:07:58,100 --> 00:08:01,600 Jesus Christ because it is the body of Jesus Christ, that was 129 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,500 broken. And that was crushed in our 130 00:08:04,500 --> 00:08:10,000 stead in our place as a substitute For us, we remember 131 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,600 and observing the Lord's Supper this body to its full degree. 132 00:08:14,300 --> 00:08:18,200 The fact that Jesus truly was a real man. 133 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,800 Oftentimes, we forget that. Don't we like to think of Jesus 134 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,500 as some mystical historical character who wasn't a real man? 135 00:08:25,100 --> 00:08:26,900 Can I tell you this? That's that, that's heresy. 136 00:08:26,900 --> 00:08:30,500 And that's not biblical at all. The fact is that Jesus Christ. 137 00:08:30,500 --> 00:08:32,299 As we have already learned, as we've been going through the 138 00:08:32,299 --> 00:08:38,400 Gospel of John truly Is God incarnate who came to this 139 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,400 earth? We know John tells us that he 140 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,700 came to this earth and he dwelt among us and we must recognize 141 00:08:44,700 --> 00:08:48,800 this morning in observing the Lord's Supper The Advent of 142 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,000 Christ and that should be remembered his bodily. 143 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,800 Incarnation very important that God, the son literally came to 144 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:01,600 this Earth as a man. It came to this Earth as a man 145 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,000 and it's important that we understand that. 146 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,600 So that we understand when his flesh was ripped from his back, 147 00:09:06,900 --> 00:09:09,300 with the cat of nine tails, he felt the pain. 148 00:09:10,100 --> 00:09:13,800 When the nails were driven into his hand into his feet, he felt 149 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,300 the pain when his beard was ripped from his face. 150 00:09:16,300 --> 00:09:19,900 He felt every ounce of That was associated with those things, as 151 00:09:19,900 --> 00:09:23,600 that Crown of Thorns was placed deep into his skull, he felt the 152 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,900 pain, he felt the agony, he felt the suffering, it's important 153 00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:30,400 that we understand that because all of that pain, and all of 154 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,400 that Agony, and all of that suffering, belonged to us. 155 00:09:35,300 --> 00:09:39,800 But it was in his body that he bore the weight in the crushing. 156 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:45,300 Blow of sin for us as our substitute there on the cross. 157 00:09:45,700 --> 00:09:47,900 We must recognize his bodily Incarnation. 158 00:09:47,900 --> 00:09:51,600 The fact that he truly was the god man. 159 00:09:52,700 --> 00:09:55,200 Was the second part of the trinity. 160 00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:01,200 Come down to this earth. Clothed in humanity. 161 00:10:02,500 --> 00:10:08,100 The rescue Sinners Like Me. Sinners like you is what the 162 00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:11,100 word of God says about his body. Colossians chapter 1. 163 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,300 Verse 22 says, but now he has reconciled You by Christ's 164 00:10:16,300 --> 00:10:19,900 physical body through death to present you, holy in his sight 165 00:10:19,900 --> 00:10:22,800 without blemish and free from accusation. 166 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,400 How many of you think we'll for the physical body of Jesus 167 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,400 Christ who has reconciled you to God? 168 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,500 The father was his physical body, that had to take place 169 00:10:31,500 --> 00:10:34,600 Colossians 2:9, Apostle Paul reiterates that again, he says, 170 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:39,200 for in Christ, all the fullness of the deity lives in bodily 171 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,500 form. Many people say this, why does 172 00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:44,000 that matter? Why does it matter? 173 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,300 That Hebrews tells us that his body was that curtain that was 174 00:10:48,300 --> 00:10:52,500 torn or open. That that Veil that we see torn 175 00:10:52,500 --> 00:10:55,700 there in Jerusalem was just a picture of his true body. 176 00:10:55,700 --> 00:11:00,500 That was torn for us that Veil. Hebrews 10:19 says therefore 177 00:11:00,500 --> 00:11:02,800 Brothers since we have confidence to enter the most 178 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,900 holy place by the blood of Jesus by a New and Living Way open for 179 00:11:06,900 --> 00:11:10,400 us through the curtain, that is his body. 180 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,000 It is the body of Christ, in the crushing of that body, as Isaiah 181 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,800 proclaimed, it and prophesied, that it would come. 182 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,300 It, is that body that was crushed that allows us in. 183 00:11:20,500 --> 00:11:24,800 To the holy of holies into fellowship with almighty God, 184 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:29,200 the father is his bodily Incarnation and how important 185 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,400 that is. It's important that we 186 00:11:30,408 --> 00:11:33,100 understand that so that we have a grasp on what we are. 187 00:11:33,100 --> 00:11:38,200 Remembering this morning, also that bodily, incarnation of 188 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:44,100 Christ, his Advent, it actually, debunks heresy called docetism. 189 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,600 And this heresy says, this is heresy, which was an early 190 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,700 heresy in the church that stem from gnosticism and I, I noticed 191 00:11:50,700 --> 00:11:53,300 some of you say that's boring stuff, it's not boring, it's 192 00:11:53,300 --> 00:11:58,000 important the church begins to realize the importance of 193 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,900 calling out false Doctrine so that they can stay true to 194 00:12:00,900 --> 00:12:04,100 biblical Doctrine the churches in going to grow to the capacity 195 00:12:04,100 --> 00:12:07,300 that the Lord desires that he grows, but this heresy of 196 00:12:07,300 --> 00:12:09,300 docetism. Here's what it said. 197 00:12:09,300 --> 00:12:14,500 It said that Jesus was just kind of a mystical form of a human 198 00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:19,600 more of a Phantasm. For an illusion so that you can 199 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,800 understand it. Any Star Wars fans here today, 200 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:26,000 he was like quagga why Gan Jin after Darth Maul took care of 201 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,300 it, right? He was just that Phantom, that 202 00:12:29,300 --> 00:12:31,000 was there. He wasn't really human, he 203 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,700 wasn't really a man. He was just some type of 204 00:12:34,700 --> 00:12:39,800 mystical Phantom. Illusion this of course is 205 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,800 heresy. In fact, John addresses it, as 206 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:46,900 it began to pop up even as early as John's Ministry in first John 207 00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:51,700 his first epistle, John says, this in chapter 4 verse 1. 208 00:12:51,700 --> 00:12:54,000 He says dear friends, do not believe every Spirit but test 209 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,900 the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false 210 00:12:56,900 --> 00:12:58,400 prophets have gone out into the world. 211 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,200 And this is how you can recognize the spirit of God. 212 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:06,800 Every spirit, that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in 213 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,500 the flesh. Is from God. 214 00:13:09,500 --> 00:13:12,400 So please understand is anybody who says that Jesus did not come 215 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,100 in the flesh, that he truly was not fully God and fully man. 216 00:13:16,100 --> 00:13:23,900 Anyone who says that he was not in bodily form incarnated as the 217 00:13:23,900 --> 00:13:26,400 Son of God, Jesus Christ. The lord. 218 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,400 Anyone who says that is a heretic says, are not of God, 219 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,300 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from 220 00:13:33,300 --> 00:13:36,500 God, this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard 221 00:13:36,500 --> 00:13:40,000 is coming, and even now is The in the world, John addresses 222 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,100 this in his first epistle, but he doesn't stop there in his 223 00:13:42,100 --> 00:13:45,100 Second Epistle. He addresses it again and second 224 00:13:45,100 --> 00:13:48,800 John chapter 1 verse 7. He says this many deceivers who 225 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,200 do not acknowledge Jesus Christ, as coming in the flesh, have 226 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,700 gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver 227 00:13:56,700 --> 00:13:59,500 and the Antichrist. He says, you better understand 228 00:13:59,500 --> 00:14:03,700 that there is an importance to seeing the bodily incarnation of 229 00:14:03,700 --> 00:14:08,000 Jesus Christ and we must never forget that he truly came. 230 00:14:08,100 --> 00:14:10,100 Mmmmm. As the God man, if he would have 231 00:14:10,100 --> 00:14:14,100 come as anything else, his body could not have been crushed the 232 00:14:14,100 --> 00:14:17,400 lashes that belong to us. Could not have been given the 233 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,000 brutality that he faced because of our sin could not have been 234 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,600 placed on him and taken away from us. 235 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,300 It is important that we see that Christ's Advent. 236 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:32,400 The fact that he came as a man is what SEALs the deal of our 237 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,400 redemption. In fact could not have redeemed 238 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:40,100 Us in any other way, he came As a perfect man. 239 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,700 Born under the law. Born of a virgin to redeem. 240 00:14:45,700 --> 00:14:49,600 Sinners Like You Sinners Like Me. 241 00:14:50,100 --> 00:14:51,800 You see the importance? And we must remember the 242 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,400 importance of his bodily Incarnation. 243 00:14:55,300 --> 00:14:58,300 Not only that when we talk about the Advent of Christ, we must 244 00:14:58,300 --> 00:15:02,400 also remember his bodily instructions, what he taught, 245 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,600 why he was here. The fact that God the son as a 246 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,900 human Walk this Earth for three and a half years ministering to 247 00:15:10,900 --> 00:15:15,100 people performing Miracles and teaching his disciples things 248 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,800 that John himself said this. He said if I wrote down all the 249 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,100 things the Lord taught me, the world could not handle the 250 00:15:22,100 --> 00:15:25,800 volumes of books. And so, the Lord really came in 251 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,900 bodily form and he came in bodily form to teach his 252 00:15:28,900 --> 00:15:33,300 disciples, how they are to live. As an example, he laid out the 253 00:15:33,300 --> 00:15:38,200 instructions for our lives. God the son literally, Taught 254 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,800 his followers, grace and truth. Remember what John's gospel 255 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,300 said? As we looked at the first 256 00:15:43,300 --> 00:15:46,500 chapter of John several weeks ago, he said this in verse 14, 257 00:15:46,500 --> 00:15:50,600 he said the word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, 258 00:15:51,100 --> 00:15:55,500 we have seen his glory. It seen his glory, the glory of 259 00:15:55,500 --> 00:15:59,300 the one, and only who came from the father watches full of grace 260 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,900 and truth. Jesus Christ came to this earth, 261 00:16:02,900 --> 00:16:05,600 to teach us of Grace and Truth. Why? 262 00:16:05,700 --> 00:16:08,500 Because we know John says the same thing, he Says this, that 263 00:16:08,500 --> 00:16:12,200 the law came through Moses but Grace and Truth came through 264 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,100 Jesus Christ. And it's important that we 265 00:16:14,100 --> 00:16:18,200 remember his bodily instructions that when he was here, he taught 266 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:23,300 things, worthy of us paying attention to He gave 267 00:16:23,300 --> 00:16:27,400 instructions, we have the gospel accounts of those instructions, 268 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,100 his life that he lived, the things that he accomplished 269 00:16:31,100 --> 00:16:33,500 while he was here, and then we see this. 270 00:16:33,500 --> 00:16:36,000 We've seen his bodily Incarnation must be remembered 271 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,200 his bodily instructions. As we remember the Advent of 272 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:44,900 Christ, But how about his bodily infliction that God the son was 273 00:16:44,900 --> 00:16:50,200 literally inflicted in his body with our suffering. 274 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:57,200 In our pain because of our sin. He was sinless and deserve no 275 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,000 punishment for sin, but he was inflicted with sin and the 276 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:06,900 Judgment that belonged to Kirk Hall was placed upon him. 277 00:17:08,700 --> 00:17:11,800 My sin. Your sin. 278 00:17:12,700 --> 00:17:17,599 If we were to be honest, my sin, your sin inflicted the suffering 279 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,000 that Christ. Endured in fact, first Peter, 280 00:17:22,300 --> 00:17:25,800 Peter says this in Chapter 2, he says he himself bore our sins in 281 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,900 his body on the tree so that we might die to sins and live for 282 00:17:29,900 --> 00:17:34,000 righteousness by his wounds. You have been healed. 283 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,200 Peter borrows from Isaiah and that great passage in Isaiah. 284 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,900 And he says, by his wounds, you have been healed. 285 00:17:39,900 --> 00:17:41,800 Can I say this had Christ not come. 286 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,300 His first Advent and bodily form. 287 00:17:45,300 --> 00:17:49,500 His body, could not have bore our sins on that tree. 288 00:17:50,500 --> 00:17:54,500 He could not have died for our sins at Calvary and we could not 289 00:17:54,500 --> 00:17:58,400 live for righteousness and we could not receive the promise of 290 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:04,900 the fact that our wounds, our infirmities have been healed in 291 00:18:04,900 --> 00:18:06,700 Christ. Aren't you thankful today? 292 00:18:06,700 --> 00:18:12,000 That Jesus came as a man to this earth and he came as a man to 293 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,300 this earth. Earth to die for Sinners of 294 00:18:15,300 --> 00:18:18,900 which I am. As Paul said the worse, aren't 295 00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:20,600 you thankful for the body of Christ? 296 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,400 Remember the Advent of Christ as we observe his body and just a 297 00:18:24,408 --> 00:18:28,800 moment and in doing so in doing. So we affectionately connect our 298 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:33,400 self in remembrance of who he is and what he did for us as he was 299 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,100 crushed in body. The second thing that we see as 300 00:18:36,100 --> 00:18:40,300 we read on, In this passage verse 25, It says this moving to 301 00:18:40,300 --> 00:18:43,300 the copy center in the same way. After supper, he took the cup 302 00:18:43,300 --> 00:18:45,900 saying this cup is the New Covenant. 303 00:18:46,300 --> 00:18:49,800 In my blood. Do this, whenever you drink it, 304 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,900 here's this phrase. Again, in remembrance of me, 305 00:18:53,900 --> 00:18:57,800 just as we have remembered the importance of the Advent of 306 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,600 Jesus Christ. I want us to also see that Paul 307 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,500 is instructing us from the Lord's instruction, to also 308 00:19:04,500 --> 00:19:07,200 remember the atonement of Christ. 309 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,500 So we see the atonement. Amount of Christ remembered 310 00:19:09,500 --> 00:19:13,100 there that his blood. Sacrifice of atonement is what 311 00:19:13,100 --> 00:19:17,900 has cleansed us from our deepest darkest sin. 312 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:24,200 By remembering is atonement. Got to move us to remember some 313 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,600 things that surround His atonement. 314 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:32,400 First thing is this his blood of redemption, his blood of 315 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,100 redemption, it is by his blood that we have been redeemed. 316 00:19:35,100 --> 00:19:37,400 In fact, Ephesians chapter 1 verse 7. 317 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,400 It says in him, we have Redemption through his blood, 318 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:47,000 the forgiveness of sin sins in accordance with the riches of 319 00:19:47,100 --> 00:19:51,300 God's grace. who here today is thankful for the blood of Jesus 320 00:19:51,300 --> 00:19:55,200 Christ, that brings us Redemption according to the 321 00:19:55,200 --> 00:20:00,700 grace of God first Peter 1:18 says for, you know, that it was 322 00:20:00,700 --> 00:20:03,500 not with perishable things, such as silver or gold that you were 323 00:20:03,500 --> 00:20:06,200 redeemed from the empty, way of life handed down to you, from 324 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:11,200 your, forefathers wasn't from perishable things, or silver or 325 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:17,000 gold And has redeemed you but in 19 says, but with the precious 326 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,500 blood of Christ, the precious blood of Christ and why was that 327 00:20:21,500 --> 00:20:23,500 blood? So precious because it was pure, 328 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,300 it was perfect. It was wholly, it was the 329 00:20:26,300 --> 00:20:29,900 Fulfillment of all of the sacrificial system that we see 330 00:20:29,900 --> 00:20:33,000 in Leviticus. His shedding of blood was 331 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:38,500 finally, an acceptable sacrifice that would cleanse men of all of 332 00:20:38,500 --> 00:20:41,600 their sins. This is the Precious Blood of a 333 00:20:41,608 --> 00:20:46,700 lamb without blemish or defect. I don't know about you brothers 334 00:20:46,700 --> 00:20:48,500 and sisters. I'm thankful for the precious 335 00:20:48,500 --> 00:20:53,600 lamb, his Precious Blood the lamb without blemish or defect, 336 00:20:54,100 --> 00:20:57,300 because he is the only accept acceptable sacrifice that will 337 00:20:57,300 --> 00:21:01,100 allow us communion with God. The Father, I'm thankful for the 338 00:21:01,100 --> 00:21:04,000 blood sacrifice of redemption of Jesus Christ. 339 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,100 So as we remember the atonement of Christ, we must remember his 340 00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:11,600 blood paid. Our Redemption Revelation 341 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,700 chapter 5. They had no problem remembering 342 00:21:14,700 --> 00:21:17,200 that around the throne. In fact, in verse 9 of chapter 343 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,000 5, they sing a song and it was a new song in the new song went 344 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,100 like this. It said, you are worthy to take 345 00:21:23,100 --> 00:21:27,700 the scroll and to open its open, its seals because you were slain 346 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,500 and with your blood. You purchased men for God from 347 00:21:31,500 --> 00:21:35,900 every tribe and language and people and Nation, you have made 348 00:21:35,900 --> 00:21:39,700 them to be a kingdom and Priests to serve, our God and they will 349 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:45,300 Will reign on the earth. Oh, they don't have a hard time. 350 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,300 They're in heaven. Remembering what Christ has done 351 00:21:48,300 --> 00:21:51,300 through his atoning. Work his atoning, sacrifice 352 00:21:51,300 --> 00:21:55,900 through his blood of redemption. He has purchased men for God. 353 00:21:55,900 --> 00:21:59,900 He paid your debt that you owed it. 354 00:21:59,908 --> 00:22:03,100 What a glorious, savior. We have, it says blood of 355 00:22:03,100 --> 00:22:06,200 redemption, but it's also his blood of reconciliation must be 356 00:22:06,500 --> 00:22:09,000 remembered, his blood of reconciliation. 357 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:14,100 The fact, That our relationship as humans to God. 358 00:22:14,500 --> 00:22:20,100 Had been broken because of sin. And we needed to be reconciled 359 00:22:20,100 --> 00:22:23,500 to God. Some way in Romans chapter 5. 360 00:22:23,500 --> 00:22:28,600 We know that it tells us the way Romans Chapter 5 Verse 18. 361 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,800 It says, consequently just as the result of one trespass, what 362 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,800 was condemnation for all men? Speaking of Adam's sin in the 363 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,600 fall, they're in the garden, he's just so, also, the result 364 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,100 of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life 365 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:43,600 for all men. He says, the act of 366 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,500 righteousness, the sacrifice of Christ. 367 00:22:45,500 --> 00:22:48,500 Also brings life to all men. For just Through the 368 00:22:48,500 --> 00:22:51,900 Disobedience of the one man. The many were made Sinners. 369 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,400 So, also Through The Obedience of the one man, the many will be 370 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,800 made righteous the law was added so that the trespass might 371 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,600 increase. But where sin increased Grace 372 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,500 increased. All the more so that just as Sin 373 00:23:05,500 --> 00:23:09,200 reigned in death. So also Christ might Reign 374 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,600 through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus 375 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,000 Christ. Our Lord, the blood of Jesus 376 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:22,700 Christ is our Reconciliation to God. a Reconciliation paid for 377 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:29,100 through his blood sacrifice Colossians chapter 1, We see 378 00:23:29,100 --> 00:23:35,000 this in Colossians 1 verse 19. It says there in 19 for God was 379 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,200 pleased to have all his fullness, dwell in him. 380 00:23:37,500 --> 00:23:40,100 And through him, to reconcile to himself all things, whether 381 00:23:40,100 --> 00:23:43,600 things on earth, or things in Heaven, by making peace, through 382 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:48,400 his blood shed on the cross. I'm thankful the piece that was 383 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,200 made to the shed blood of Jesus Christ. 384 00:23:51,300 --> 00:23:56,600 Now I have those of you who are in Christ, have peace with God. 385 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,600 Romans, 5:9 since we have now, been justified by his blood, how 386 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,100 much more shall we be saved from God's Wrath? 387 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,100 Through him for? If, when we were God's enemies, 388 00:24:07,100 --> 00:24:09,400 we were reconciled to him through the death of his son. 389 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,300 How much more having been reconciled, shall we be saved 390 00:24:13,300 --> 00:24:17,900 through his life? It is his blood that reconciles 391 00:24:17,900 --> 00:24:22,000 the center to a holy God. It is his blood of redemption. 392 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,800 It is blood of reconciliation, but also we must remember his 393 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:31,600 blood of Ocean that in Christ, we know this and we were once 394 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:36,700 cut off alienated from god. That relationship was broken and 395 00:24:36,700 --> 00:24:39,800 we could not have a relationship with God. 396 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,300 But yet through the blood of Jesus Christ, and his sacrifice 397 00:24:43,300 --> 00:24:48,400 of atonement, we have been restored in our relationship to 398 00:24:48,408 --> 00:24:53,200 the father, when we observe the Lord's Supper, let us remember 399 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:58,600 the atoning blood of Jesus Christ, the blood sacrifice of 400 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,600 the New Covenant, that New Covenant of Grace, the New 401 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:07,700 Covenant of Grace represented, By the fruit of the vine and 402 00:25:07,700 --> 00:25:12,000 just a moment as we remember. The blood sacrifice of Jesus 403 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,900 Christ. We must remember the Advent of 404 00:25:14,900 --> 00:25:19,000 Christ. The atonement of Christ must be 405 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,700 remembered and then I want us to see that he doesn't stop there. 406 00:25:22,700 --> 00:25:25,700 We see the accomplishments of Christ remembered, the 407 00:25:25,700 --> 00:25:31,000 accomplishments of Christ verse 26, Paul goes on He says this in 408 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,800 verse 26. Pieces for whenever you eat this 409 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,700 bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death. 410 00:25:38,700 --> 00:25:41,800 I want to stop there and we'll finish that burst in a second, 411 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,900 but you proclaim the Lord's death. 412 00:25:43,900 --> 00:25:48,400 This is very important because no New Testament writer would 413 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,100 have left Christ Dead, when he referred to his death. 414 00:25:52,100 --> 00:25:53,900 Here he is, referring to the package deal. 415 00:25:53,900 --> 00:25:55,100 His death, his burial, his resurrection. 416 00:25:55,100 --> 00:25:58,500 The fact that Jesus Christ accomplished at all. 417 00:25:58,500 --> 00:26:01,200 In fact, it goes further than that, they understood his death, 418 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,100 his burial, his resurrection, his Ascension. 419 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:07,000 Engine and his soon return. And so, as we look at this, he 420 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,100 is instructing us to look at. And remember the accomplishments 421 00:26:10,100 --> 00:26:13,900 of Christ that he accomplished through his death, his burial 422 00:26:13,900 --> 00:26:17,400 and his resurrection, we go all the way back to Calvary, we go 423 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,900 out to gotha the place of the skull and we remember what 424 00:26:20,900 --> 00:26:24,300 Christ accomplished there through his death, through his 425 00:26:24,300 --> 00:26:27,600 burial through his resurrection. Let's remember that this morning 426 00:26:27,700 --> 00:26:30,200 as we see these instructions. What did he do? 427 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,700 What were his accomplishments? Let's look at them and let us as 428 00:26:32,700 --> 00:26:35,400 believers. Purrs Rejoice, let me say this 429 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,800 as unbeliever let-let's, tremble. 430 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,200 If you're an unbeliever here today because you need to 431 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,900 tremble, you need to tremble in fear of judgment because you've 432 00:26:42,900 --> 00:26:45,000 not yet, trusted in Jesus Christ. 433 00:26:45,500 --> 00:26:48,100 I don't say that to scare you. I say that because for the 434 00:26:48,100 --> 00:26:51,700 believer, when we look at these things, great hope Wells up and 435 00:26:51,700 --> 00:26:55,100 us, but for the unbeliever, when you look at these things, great 436 00:26:55,100 --> 00:26:57,000 fear. Wells, up in you. 437 00:26:57,900 --> 00:27:00,900 So, play close attention to what happens as we look at these 438 00:27:00,900 --> 00:27:03,100 things. And as we remember these things, 439 00:27:03,100 --> 00:27:06,400 as we remember, The accomplishments of Christ that 440 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:12,300 he defeated sin by his death sin has been defeated because of 441 00:27:12,300 --> 00:27:15,700 Christ's death. As I've already read for you in 442 00:27:15,700 --> 00:27:19,400 Romans, 5:18, I'll read it again. 443 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,800 Consequently, just says the result of one trespass was 444 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,400 condemnation for all men. So also, the result of the one 445 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,200 act of righteousness was justification that brings life 446 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,500 to all men. For just, as through the 447 00:27:29,500 --> 00:27:32,000 Disobedience of the one man, the many were made Sinners. 448 00:27:32,300 --> 00:27:35,000 So also Through The Obedience of the one man, the many will be 449 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,700 made righteous law was added so that the trespass might 450 00:27:38,700 --> 00:27:40,300 increase. But where sin increased Grace 451 00:27:40,300 --> 00:27:43,700 increased all the more so that just as Sin reigned in death. 452 00:27:43,700 --> 00:27:47,500 So also Grace, might Reign through righteousness to bring 453 00:27:47,500 --> 00:27:49,800 eternal life through Jesus Christ. 454 00:27:49,900 --> 00:27:56,300 Our Lord it is Jesus Christ. Who defeated sin, through his 455 00:27:56,300 --> 00:28:01,800 death, just as Sin entered in through, Adam affected, all man, 456 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:08,400 did you know this through the death of Jesus, Christ sin has 457 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:13,900 been abolished for to all who will believe and trust in him. 458 00:28:14,700 --> 00:28:19,100 He came, we must remember, he defeated sin by his death. 459 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,100 For those who believe and trust in him, Not only did he defeat 460 00:28:23,100 --> 00:28:26,300 sin by his death he destroyed death by his resurrection. 461 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,900 He destroyed death by his resurrection. 462 00:28:28,900 --> 00:28:32,200 Aren't you thankful that Jesus three days after he went into 463 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:36,000 that tomb walked out victoriously destroying death 464 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:42,100 through his resurrection. Second Timothy 1:8 Paul says 465 00:28:42,100 --> 00:28:44,300 this to Young Timothy. He says, so do not be ashamed to 466 00:28:44,300 --> 00:28:48,200 testify about our Lord ashamed of me, his prisoner, but join 467 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,700 with me in suffering for the gospel by the power of God who 468 00:28:51,700 --> 00:28:53,900 has saved us and called us to a holy life. 469 00:28:53,900 --> 00:28:57,800 Not because of anything we have done but because of his own 470 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:02,100 purpose and Grace, this Grace was given us in Christ Jesus 471 00:29:02,100 --> 00:29:06,900 before the beginning of time. But it has now been revealed 472 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,500 through the appearing of our savior Christ Jesus. 473 00:29:09,900 --> 00:29:13,300 Watch this. Who has destroyed death. 474 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:20,000 And brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. 475 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,400 It is the message of the Gospel that brings a person out of 476 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:30,100 death and in to life it is that Gospel of Jesus Christ. 477 00:29:30,100 --> 00:29:33,700 The fact that he accomplished through his death, his burial 478 00:29:33,700 --> 00:29:36,500 and his resurrection, he accomplished what he set out to 479 00:29:36,500 --> 00:29:41,200 do and that was to destroy death for all those who would trust in 480 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,400 him. We know the Apostle Paul teaches 481 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,000 us that we die. With Christ, we were buried with 482 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,500 Christ and we Rose to New Life with Christ. 483 00:29:49,500 --> 00:29:53,100 When Jesus came out of that tomb, he declared the 484 00:29:53,100 --> 00:29:57,500 destruction of death, for all those who would by faith, trust 485 00:29:57,500 --> 00:30:00,500 in him for the eons and ages to come. 486 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:05,100 He has destroyed death by his resurrection. 487 00:30:05,100 --> 00:30:09,300 Anyone here thankful for that, that because he is alive. 488 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:15,200 There is no longer any fear of death for those who Believe, and 489 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,500 trust in him. You see, we must remember that 490 00:30:18,500 --> 00:30:22,200 the accomplishments of Christ being remembered today as we 491 00:30:22,208 --> 00:30:24,800 observe the Lord's, Supper he that he defeated sin by his 492 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,400 death and he destroyed death by his resurrection and then 493 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,500 thirdly that, he then departed to Heaven. 494 00:30:31,300 --> 00:30:33,600 He departed to Heaven. This is an aspect that gets left 495 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,800 out so much. The Ascension of Christ. 496 00:30:35,900 --> 00:30:38,700 Can I tell you this? This is very important. 497 00:30:39,700 --> 00:30:43,600 We leave it out so much. We talked about his death and 498 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,500 his burial and his resurrection, but don't forget that he 499 00:30:46,500 --> 00:30:49,500 ascended back to where he had come from. 500 00:30:49,500 --> 00:30:53,300 We know that he came from the father and he ascended back to 501 00:30:53,300 --> 00:30:55,800 the father. And why did he ascended back to 502 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,900 the father? Romans tells us that Christ 503 00:30:57,900 --> 00:31:00,400 died. He was raised to life and is at 504 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,900 the right hand of God and is interceding for us. 505 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,100 Did you notice? There's no accusation that can 506 00:31:08,100 --> 00:31:13,100 be brought against Kirk Hall any longer, because when the accuser 507 00:31:13,100 --> 00:31:16,900 of the Brethren brings an accusation to God, the Father 508 00:31:16,900 --> 00:31:21,100 about Kirk Hall, Jesus Christ through his sacrifice of Calvary 509 00:31:21,300 --> 00:31:24,600 intercedes for me and he says no he is innocent. 510 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,400 He is Justified, he is Forgiven. He is righteous not because of 511 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,000 anything that he is done but because I died. 512 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,600 I was buried. I rose again and I am here 513 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:38,400 making intercession for For all those who believe and he says 514 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,300 this, he says, he's there, Hebrews 7 verse 25 tells us this 515 00:31:42,300 --> 00:31:46,200 he's there and he always lives to intercede for us. 516 00:31:46,700 --> 00:31:50,200 Oh, don't forget the Ascension of Christ that he went back to 517 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,600 the father. He went back to the father 518 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:56,200 because he's a worthy sacrifice and the father was pleased with 519 00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:00,100 that sacrifice and now when the father sees those who are in 520 00:32:00,100 --> 00:32:04,200 Christ, he sees the richness of the sacrifice of Christ and he 521 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,500 no longer sees Our sin. Oh, what an intercessor that we 522 00:32:08,500 --> 00:32:13,300 have in Christ that mediator between us and the father. 523 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:14,600 Thank you. Lord Jesus. 524 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:18,200 And when we observe the Lord's, Supper, we remember the 525 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,800 accomplishments of Christ, it was death, his burial, his 526 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,700 resurrection, his Ascension into heaven, where he intercedes for 527 00:32:23,700 --> 00:32:27,800 us. All those feelings of gratitude, 528 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,900 and hope and excitement should well up in us as we think on 529 00:32:31,900 --> 00:32:33,800 those things. And as we think about those 530 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:38,700 things this morning, We observe the Lord's, Supper, let us 531 00:32:38,700 --> 00:32:40,900 remember the accomplishments of Christ's death. 532 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,500 It doesn't stop there. The second part of verse 26. 533 00:32:46,700 --> 00:32:50,600 It says this, the first part of 26 spoke of his death. 534 00:32:51,900 --> 00:32:54,600 But whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim 535 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:55,900 the Lord's death. Yes you do. 536 00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:01,800 It says an interesting statement next until he comes. 537 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,500 I'm so thankful that that doesn't say if he comes, or in 538 00:33:05,500 --> 00:33:08,800 case he comes or perhaps he could come. 539 00:33:10,500 --> 00:33:13,200 It says that you Proclaim his death until he comes. 540 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:17,400 It is an established thing. Yes, coming. 541 00:33:18,100 --> 00:33:20,400 I know we don't talk about the return of Christ, anymore and 542 00:33:20,408 --> 00:33:22,800 comfortable Christianity, in the United States of America because 543 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,700 it makes people uncomfortable. Let me just make you 544 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,500 uncomfortable for many Christ, shall return. 545 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,300 Just as he promised. In fact, at his Ascension, it 546 00:33:30,300 --> 00:33:32,100 was promised. They just, as I've left. 547 00:33:32,100 --> 00:33:35,800 I'm coming back in, like, manner of coming back, just like this. 548 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,300 We know this that the prophets tell us that he is going to set 549 00:33:39,300 --> 00:33:41,700 foot on the Mount of Olives, in the Earth is going to Quake, but 550 00:33:41,700 --> 00:33:43,000 let me warn you. Dear friends. 551 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,600 He is not coming back as a sacrificial lamb. 552 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,100 He's coming back as a triumphant lion, and he's coming to rule 553 00:33:50,100 --> 00:33:52,700 and he's coming to Reign and he's coming to judge the sin of 554 00:33:52,700 --> 00:33:54,700 the world. And if you are not in Christ, 555 00:33:54,700 --> 00:33:58,900 when this happens, you will perish in agony in hell. 556 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,800 But I would hope we have for those of us who are in Christ. 557 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:11,100 The certainty of his return. He says, do this until he come. 558 00:34:13,100 --> 00:34:14,400 Ask you this. Are you longing for his 559 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,400 appearing? Are you longing for is paying 560 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:18,699 know? When you watch the news. 561 00:34:18,699 --> 00:34:23,400 I hope you do it accidentally nowadays. but when you watch the 562 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:28,699 news, are you dismayed because the country that you grew up in 563 00:34:28,699 --> 00:34:31,699 is changing? Are you excited? 564 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,600 Because each day as the World falls apart, Our Hope of Jesus 565 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,400 Christ draws nearer and nearer and nearer. 566 00:34:41,500 --> 00:34:42,900 Are you longing for his appearing? 567 00:34:43,699 --> 00:34:45,699 Or do you want to hold on to your little worldly life that 568 00:34:45,699 --> 00:34:47,500 you have built? Just a little longer? 569 00:34:48,199 --> 00:34:50,000 And I remind you what? The Apostle Paul said. 570 00:34:50,500 --> 00:34:52,600 He says there's a crown of righteousness for me. 571 00:34:53,699 --> 00:34:57,800 I just kept in heaven, but not only for me for all of those who 572 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:03,800 long for his appearing who are waiting, until he comes 573 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:08,000 remembering what he has done to his body through his blood, what 574 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,500 he has accomplished through his death, his burial, his 575 00:35:10,500 --> 00:35:16,600 resurrection, his Ascension. Oh, Jesus Christ is worth 576 00:35:17,300 --> 00:35:21,600 remembering, isn't he? He's worth remembering. 577 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,600 He says, there is the certainty of his return. 578 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,000 He's giving advice and admonition, that must be 579 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,700 remembered in this text advice. And admonition that you must 580 00:35:30,700 --> 00:35:32,700 take the heart. That there is a certain return 581 00:35:32,700 --> 00:35:35,400 of Christ. Then he gives us this. 582 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,900 As we read on and verse 27, he gives us not only a certain 583 00:35:37,900 --> 00:35:41,500 return of Christ in charge of self-examination. 584 00:35:42,300 --> 00:35:45,300 A charge of self-examination in this charge is to the believer. 585 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:52,300 He says in verse 27, therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks 586 00:35:52,300 --> 00:35:56,000 the cup of the Lord, in an unworthy manner will be guilty 587 00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:00,100 of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. 588 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:05,900 A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and 589 00:36:05,900 --> 00:36:10,600 drinks of the cup. We've looked at this morning and 590 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,100 we have the magnitude of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. 591 00:36:14,900 --> 00:36:18,100 The fact that he truly came as God incarnate. 592 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:24,000 As the God, man. To Bear your suffering and bear 593 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,900 your pain into bear, your Agony and to Bear the wrath of God and 594 00:36:27,900 --> 00:36:31,200 received the punishment that belonged to you and to shed his 595 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,900 blood, every ounce of his blood, as an atoning sacrifice to wash 596 00:36:34,900 --> 00:36:36,800 you and cleanse you of all your sin. 597 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,700 Would it not be okay for the Apostle Paul under the 598 00:36:39,700 --> 00:36:43,000 instruction of the Lord didn't call us out to Holiness because 599 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,700 of what Jesus Christ has done for him. 600 00:36:45,900 --> 00:36:48,100 That's what he's doing is saying, examine, your wife today 601 00:36:48,100 --> 00:36:49,900 before you partake of the Lord's Supper. 602 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,200 Is there anything in your life? Any sin that you know, is open 603 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,700 defilement unto God is their sin that you have been convicted 604 00:36:56,700 --> 00:37:00,300 about, is their sin, that the scripture clearly defines that 605 00:37:00,300 --> 00:37:03,400 is sin, is it in your life and is it actively present? 606 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:07,600 You have to examine yourself. What he's saying for us to do? 607 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,900 I know. We live in a church age where no 608 00:37:10,900 --> 00:37:13,700 one wants to encourage anyone to examine themselves toward 609 00:37:13,700 --> 00:37:15,800 Holiness, but God's word says different. 610 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,300 God's word says, before you even partake of the Lord's Supper you 611 00:37:20,308 --> 00:37:23,900 need to examine yourself. You need to repent of your sin 612 00:37:23,900 --> 00:37:24,900 and you need to confess your sin. 613 00:37:24,900 --> 00:37:26,500 Aren't you thankful for the promises of God? 614 00:37:26,500 --> 00:37:28,700 First John 1:9, that says, if we confess our sins, he is 615 00:37:28,700 --> 00:37:30,200 faithful. And just to forgive us our sins 616 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,500 and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 617 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,700 So, today I would say to you brother and sister in Christ for 618 00:37:38,700 --> 00:37:40,000 you /. Take of the Lord's Supper. 619 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,900 Look at your life. Look at your life here. 620 00:37:43,300 --> 00:37:46,200 The admonition of Christ through the Apostle Paul here, the 621 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,700 charge of self-examination examine, you do examine your 622 00:37:49,700 --> 00:37:52,200 wife or examine your husband, or examine your children, or your 623 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,800 parents. Examine yourself this morning. 624 00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:01,600 Why so that you don't fall into the chastisement of the lord. 625 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:03,600 Well, that's what he teaches us next. 626 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,600 The advice and admonition of Christ remembered he says, 627 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,700 remember Christ. The certainty of his return, the 628 00:38:09,700 --> 00:38:13,100 charge of self-examination. You, so was Christ really 629 00:38:13,100 --> 00:38:14,300 charging us here? Yes, Paul. 630 00:38:14,300 --> 00:38:16,300 So, these are instructions I received from the Lord. 631 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,300 This is the Lord through Paul telling you to examine yourself 632 00:38:20,300 --> 00:38:22,400 and to see if you are right in your life. 633 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,300 Dear believer here today, I can tell you this, there's no sin 634 00:38:26,300 --> 00:38:28,200 active in your life that you don't know about because the 635 00:38:28,207 --> 00:38:30,700 Holy Spirit who lives inside of you always let you know about 636 00:38:30,700 --> 00:38:33,400 that. You just hadn't gotten honest 637 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,800 about it yet. That's what confession is. 638 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,000 Did you know that confession is getting honest with God? 639 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,900 About what God already knows about. 640 00:38:41,700 --> 00:38:43,400 It's getting honest and saying, Lord, you're right when your 641 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:48,400 spirit convicts me that what I'm doing is wrong, The mode I admit 642 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:52,100 that to you and I call it sin and I know if you freed me in 643 00:38:52,100 --> 00:38:55,200 Christ from my sin not so that I can abuse your grace. 644 00:38:55,300 --> 00:38:57,700 You freed me so that I can live a life of righteousness. 645 00:38:57,700 --> 00:38:59,600 That brings you glory and honor and praise. 646 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,600 Who see the advice and the admonition. 647 00:39:04,900 --> 00:39:07,300 Certainty of his return to charge of self-examination but 648 00:39:07,300 --> 00:39:10,000 the chastisement of those who mishandled the Lord's Supper 649 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,700 I'll see that the Lord warns us here. 650 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,900 Verse 29, watch this. He says, for anyone. 651 00:39:18,300 --> 00:39:20,500 Who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the 652 00:39:20,500 --> 00:39:22,700 Lord, each and drinks judgment on himself. 653 00:39:23,500 --> 00:39:26,200 That is why many among you are weak and sick. 654 00:39:26,500 --> 00:39:29,500 He's talking to the church and he sang, many people among you 655 00:39:30,500 --> 00:39:34,500 there in Corinth at the church at Corinth, many of people among 656 00:39:34,500 --> 00:39:39,400 you are weak and sick and have fallen asleep. 657 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,200 That word fallen asleep. I assure you of, this is a 658 00:39:44,207 --> 00:39:47,300 reference to the death of a new testament, believer. 659 00:39:48,100 --> 00:39:50,900 And what is happening here. He knows that the Lord has 660 00:39:50,900 --> 00:39:53,800 promised us this and he who believes in him shall never die. 661 00:39:54,100 --> 00:39:55,500 He's talking about their carnal body. 662 00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:58,300 The car nobody has passed from this Earth, and they are now in 663 00:39:58,300 --> 00:40:01,000 the presence of God so that they can don't continue to bring 664 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,300 reproach upon the name of God here at the church at Corinth. 665 00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:10,800 We're here at the church at Chi Li He's saying this there, many 666 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,200 people among you who are weak and sick and a number of you 667 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,200 have fallen asleep. Because you're mishandling the 668 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,800 Lord's Supper, you're taking in an unworthy manner. 669 00:40:21,300 --> 00:40:25,400 But if we judged ourselves, we would not come under judgment. 670 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,300 Oh, what a word of advice. Everybody's always worried about 671 00:40:29,300 --> 00:40:33,100 everyone else, aren't they? I want to encourage you in just 672 00:40:33,100 --> 00:40:34,300 a moment to worry about yourself. 673 00:40:35,300 --> 00:40:38,900 Examine your own life. Examine your own life, not in 674 00:40:38,900 --> 00:40:41,800 the light of what you're trying to justify or what you're trying 675 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:46,900 to think. but to examine your life in light of God's, holy 676 00:40:46,900 --> 00:40:50,700 word, But if we judge ourselves, we would not come under 677 00:40:50,700 --> 00:40:53,100 judgment. When we are judged by the Lord, 678 00:40:53,100 --> 00:40:57,300 we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with 679 00:40:57,300 --> 00:40:59,800 the world. Again, I say this you being 680 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,300 disciplined by the Lord. He bring disciplined by the Lord 681 00:41:03,300 --> 00:41:07,400 because he loves you. And I can promise you this. 682 00:41:09,100 --> 00:41:12,500 There's one that he loves more than you. 683 00:41:13,700 --> 00:41:17,100 That is the father. And he will not let you bring 684 00:41:17,100 --> 00:41:20,200 reproach upon his name on this Earth. 685 00:41:20,500 --> 00:41:23,000 He's warning the Corinthian Church to this examine yourself. 686 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,800 Stop bringing reproach upon the name of the Lord. 687 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:28,700 What has happened here at the Corinthian Church? 688 00:41:28,700 --> 00:41:33,800 They have changed this Lord's Supper into this drunken orgy, 689 00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:38,000 feast Something that was never supposed to be, what was it 690 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:39,300 supposed to be? It's plain and simple. 691 00:41:39,300 --> 00:41:43,500 He's made that clear supposed to be a time of remembrance 692 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:49,200 affectionate recollection. What Jesus Christ has done for 693 00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:50,600 us. That's what this is supposed to 694 00:41:50,607 --> 00:41:52,700 be. It's not supposed to be a time 695 00:41:52,700 --> 00:41:55,400 of ritual. It's not supposed to be a time 696 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,300 of just some traditional practice. 697 00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,300 He doesn't say that. In fact, we noticed that the New 698 00:42:00,300 --> 00:42:03,600 Testament warns about festivals and Sabbath's and religious 699 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,500 practice. He's not instituting. 700 00:42:05,500 --> 00:42:12,400 I assure you another religious practice But he is instituting. 701 00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:16,700 This ordinance of remembrance Always stop. 702 00:42:19,500 --> 00:42:24,600 We remember nothing. but Christ and who he is and what he has 703 00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,700 done for us and what he accomplished his death, his 704 00:42:27,700 --> 00:42:30,900 burial, his resurrection, his Ascension and the advice and the 705 00:42:30,900 --> 00:42:35,200 admonition that he gives to the Believers concerning this 706 00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:40,300 ordinance that we should Observe this until he returns 707 00:42:40,300 --> 00:42:43,100 anticipating. Oh, Lord, I would that before we 708 00:42:43,100 --> 00:42:46,600 drink this cup today, that we would be in your presence. 709 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,800 Your will be done. Your will be done all that. 710 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:55,200 We would see the certainty of his return that we would see the 711 00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,500 charge of self-examination. I mean right now it's not 712 00:42:58,500 --> 00:43:00,900 thinking about how fast can I get out of this church service, 713 00:43:00,900 --> 00:43:06,700 but what is it in my life that Jesus Christ died for that? 714 00:43:06,700 --> 00:43:10,300 I'm still trying to hold on to call that thing by name and 715 00:43:10,300 --> 00:43:14,400 confess it to him. Examine yourself so that you 716 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:18,100 then don't fall under the chastisement of the Lord. 717 00:43:18,100 --> 00:43:22,900 Again that doesn't mean make God mean that makes our heavenly 718 00:43:22,900 --> 00:43:26,900 father a good parent. It is the same heavenly. 719 00:43:26,900 --> 00:43:29,700 Father who said if you spare the rod you spoil the child how 720 00:43:29,700 --> 00:43:35,300 could he then come back. Spare the rod on his children 721 00:43:36,300 --> 00:43:39,300 whom he loves he disciplines and he chastens with her on. 722 00:43:39,300 --> 00:43:42,100 Please don't fall under the chastisement of the Lord today 723 00:43:42,100 --> 00:43:45,900 because you observe the Lord's Supper in an unworthy manner. 724 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:52,100 So, let us assume the teachings here in 1st Corinthians chapter 725 00:43:52,100 --> 00:43:54,600 11. Let us see the importance today. 726 00:43:56,100 --> 00:44:00,200 This call to remember this call to remember, Jesus. 727 00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:04,000 All that. He has done all that he has 728 00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:08,300 accomplished some of you today. This means nothing. 729 00:44:09,900 --> 00:44:11,500 It's means nothing because you do not know him. 730 00:44:12,700 --> 00:44:17,100 Some of you today, you don't know him as Lord and Savior, the 731 00:44:17,107 --> 00:44:19,800 speak of his death, it does nothing to you. 732 00:44:21,100 --> 00:44:26,200 To speak of his sacrifice moves. You in no way his resurrection 733 00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,200 to you is just make-believe as Ascension is just some type of 734 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:35,500 solder fallacy. His return and your mind is 735 00:44:35,508 --> 00:44:38,700 never going to happen. Means nothing to you. 736 00:44:40,700 --> 00:44:44,000 How sad that is going to say this to you my friend, what a 737 00:44:44,008 --> 00:44:47,900 problem you have. What a problem you have. 738 00:44:47,900 --> 00:44:52,400 Because I know this There are those of us who know, Christ. 739 00:44:53,500 --> 00:45:00,300 think of his death moves us, realize that that crushed body 740 00:45:00,300 --> 00:45:04,900 should have been, our should motivate us to service, and to 741 00:45:04,900 --> 00:45:09,800 adoration to praise and to worship The shouts. 742 00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:15,800 Glorification for him toward him alone. 743 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,300 Some of you. Don't know, Christ. 744 00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:25,200 So, you don't understand. I would say this to you today. 745 00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:28,500 Repent. Repent and turn to Jesus Christ 746 00:45:28,500 --> 00:45:32,400 as Lord and Savior trusting in Him by faith and faith alone as 747 00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:36,600 your lord and as your savior. I pray today that for those of 748 00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,900 you who are lost in your darkness that you are dead in 749 00:45:38,900 --> 00:45:41,600 your sin today, that he would open your eyes that you could 750 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,800 see the truth graciously, giving you the faith to believe and to 751 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:48,200 trust in him and to be empowered to repent and to turn of your 752 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:52,100 sin and to turn toward Christ and Christ Alone, calling out to 753 00:45:52,100 --> 00:45:53,700 him. And let me assure you this for 754 00:45:53,700 --> 00:45:57,600 whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall Say that 755 00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,900 if he allows you to call on him today to save you, I promise you 756 00:46:00,900 --> 00:46:03,000 this, he is faithful to save you. 757 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,700 This very day. You can leave here understanding 758 00:46:05,700 --> 00:46:08,800 what the bread, and the cup really represent the body, and 759 00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,700 the blood of Jesus Christ, and all the things that surrounded 760 00:46:11,700 --> 00:46:14,200 his ministry, and his teaching on this Earth. 761 00:46:15,500 --> 00:46:18,800 You can be saved this very day.

I pray today. 766 00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:43,800 As we observe the Lord's Supper. As you remember him, what he 767 00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:49,800 does, what he has done for you. I pray that you were stirred 768 00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:54,400 within spiritually at the Holy Spirit who lives inside of you 769 00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:59,100 would excite you, and motivate you to serve the Lord and to 770 00:46:59,100 --> 00:47:02,600 proclaim the gospel, like you never have before to love others 771 00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,700 and to show the love of Christ to others. 772 00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,700 So I pray today. As we prepare our hearts, 773 00:47:11,100 --> 00:47:15,400 Observe the Lord's Supper. That we would in just a moment 774 00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:19,500 for take of this supper.
