00:00:32,900 --> 00:00:40,300
Going to the Gospel of John 17th
chapter Those of you who are 

9
00:00:40,300 --> 00:00:43,600
visiting with us for the first 
time, those of you who are 

10
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:48,100
guests and not normal attendees 
here at Key life, you don't know

11
00:00:48,100 --> 00:00:49,600
this, but I'll go ahead and tell
you. 

12
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,000
We've been going through the 
Gospel of John for quite some 

13
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,500
time. 
Now verse by verse and We are 

14
00:00:55,500 --> 00:01:00,600
here at the 17th chapter and 
we're going to the next few 

15
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,300
weeks break. 
This 17th chapter down in 

16
00:01:03,300 --> 00:01:08,100
several different parts. 
I wrestled with this all week 

17
00:01:08,100 --> 00:01:12,400
long verse 1, I was going to 
attempt to go beyond verse 1 but

18
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,300
I couldn't. 
Not and get you out of here by 

19
00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:25,600
3:30. and so, as I studied in, 
as I Contemplated and meditated 

20
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,900
on verse 1 as what we're going 
to look at today. 

21
00:01:28,900 --> 00:01:34,500
The first verse chapter 17 John 
Bunyan said this, he said you 

22
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:37,200
can do more than pray after you 
have prayed. 

23
00:01:38,500 --> 00:01:43,500
But you can't do more than pray,
until you have prayed what a 

24
00:01:43,508 --> 00:01:47,900
statement. 
Jesus hear the king of kings, 

25
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:51,100
and Lord of lords who 
condescended as we said, from 

26
00:01:51,100 --> 00:01:55,700
his glory, in heaven to this 
Earth, where he Became. 

27
00:01:57,700 --> 00:02:01,400
Flesh. 
And he failed his glory in his 

28
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,100
flesh. 
And he came to this earth to 

29
00:02:04,100 --> 00:02:08,500
live as our example and to die 
as our sacrifices here in John 

30
00:02:08,500 --> 00:02:16,700
17, he is taking one more step 
closer to his predestined 

31
00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:21,800
Mission, his death, his burial 
and his resurrection in 

32
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,500
accordance with the will of the 
father. 

33
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,400
Is Jesus is moving closer and 
closer step-by-step to the 

34
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,800
Suffering The Agony of the 
cross. 

35
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,200
We're going to see that he is 
moved to prayer. 

36
00:02:38,100 --> 00:02:41,700
He's moved to prayer. 
He can't go any further. 

37
00:02:43,100 --> 00:02:45,000
Without praying. 
Just as bunion said, you can do 

38
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,300
more than pray after you have 
prayed, but you can't do more 

39
00:02:47,300 --> 00:02:53,600
than pray until you have prayed.
And here we see the Lord Jesus. 

40
00:02:54,700 --> 00:03:00,000
Moved. 
To prayer move to prayer and 

41
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,100
many would ask. 
If Jesus Is God, as he's been 

42
00:03:04,100 --> 00:03:07,100
saying this whole time in his, I
am statements in John, we've 

43
00:03:07,100 --> 00:03:09,700
talked about it over and over 
the deity of Christ. 

44
00:03:10,900 --> 00:03:14,300
Why would he have to pray to the
father? 

45
00:03:15,900 --> 00:03:19,500
Let us not forget that in this 
subsistence, the these 

46
00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:25,500
subsistence e of the trinity. 
The Sonic came to do the will of

47
00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:29,200
the father. 
It is, the Father's will that he

48
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:34,100
is seeking here. 
We see this laid out in Jesus 

49
00:03:34,100 --> 00:03:37,400
prayer here. 
In John, chapter 17 known as the

50
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:43,000
high Priestly prayer of Jesus. 
In this prayer, he is going to 

51
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,700
pray as we will see today for 
himself. 

52
00:03:47,300 --> 00:03:50,500
He is also going to pray for the
disciples who were with them. 

53
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,500
They're on Earth at this time. 
As we will see in the lessons to

54
00:03:56,500 --> 00:03:59,600
come. 
He's going to pray for us. 

55
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,000
He is going to pray for each and
every one of you who are in 

56
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:12,300
Christ two thousand years ago. 
Jesus on his way to the Cross 

57
00:04:12,300 --> 00:04:15,800
stops. 
He prays for you. 

58
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,400
People have sung a song in error
so many times when he was on the

59
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,700
cross, I was on his mind know 
before the foundations of the 

60
00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:35,000
earth you were on his mind. he 
came to rescue, you He came to 

61
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,500
intercede for you. 
We see his high Priestly prayer.

62
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,400
So much is going to be revealed 
about Jesus in the following 

63
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,900
lessons and lessons lesson 
today. 

64
00:04:48,700 --> 00:04:50,900
I want you to pay close 
attention to it because many 

65
00:04:50,900 --> 00:04:53,100
people have called Matthew 
chapter 6. 

66
00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:58,800
What we see there, as the Lord's
Prayer, when, in fact, Matthew 

67
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,800
chapter 6, Jesus is not praying 
at all. 

68
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:06,800
But what he's doing is he's 
instructing his disciples on how

69
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,400
to pray. 
He's teaching them and giving 

70
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,700
them a lesson on how to pray. 
So that's not the Lord's Prayer 

71
00:05:13,700 --> 00:05:15,900
at all. 
That is the model prayer that 

72
00:05:15,900 --> 00:05:18,700
the Lord taught the disciples. 
Here's what prayer ought to be. 

73
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,300
But here in John chapter 17, 
we're going to see the Lord, 

74
00:05:24,500 --> 00:05:28,900
actually praying. 
We are going to see the true 

75
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:34,700
Lord's Prayer. 
We're going to see it here as 

76
00:05:34,700 --> 00:05:39,800
John unfolds, the details of 
this account for us just ours. 

77
00:05:40,900 --> 00:05:46,600
Before Christ goes to the cross.
He's going to offer as our great

78
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,900
high priest. 
That's what Hebrews calls him. 

79
00:05:48,900 --> 00:05:53,100
Our great high priest, in the 
order of Melchizedek, he is our 

80
00:05:53,100 --> 00:05:56,500
Eternal high priest. 
We're going to see Jesus 

81
00:05:56,500 --> 00:06:01,100
operating in the office. 
Of the priest. 

82
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,200
The priesthood of Jesus. 
He is going. to pray for us 

83
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:12,300
prior to Becoming the sacrifice 
of atonement for us. 

84
00:06:14,100 --> 00:06:17,800
Jesus fear praying in John 17 
verse 1. 

85
00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:23,300
It says this after Jesus said 
this. 

86
00:06:24,900 --> 00:06:28,300
He looked toward heaven. 
And prayed. 

87
00:06:29,300 --> 00:06:35,000
Father, the time has come. 
Glorify your son that your son 

88
00:06:35,300 --> 00:06:42,500
may glorify you after this. 
Whatever it was that Jesus said 

89
00:06:42,500 --> 00:06:45,100
and we go back to last week. 
Remember what he said? 

90
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,600
In chapter 16, the last verse in
verse 33, he said I have told 

91
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,900
you these things so that in me 
you may have peace. 

92
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,700
He just told them you're about 
to run for your life. 

93
00:06:57,700 --> 00:06:59,700
You're going to feel like you 
abandoned me but the father's 

94
00:06:59,700 --> 00:07:04,200
never going to abandon me have 
peace, rest in me the same Jesus

95
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:08,400
who told them, don't lose heart.
Don't be trouble. 

96
00:07:12,500 --> 00:07:18,800
He says, I told you these things
so that you in me may have peace

97
00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:24,400
in this world, you will have 
trouble, but take heart, I have 

98
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,300
overcome. 
The world and then. 

99
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:35,100
Jesus begins to pray. 
After Jesus said this. 

100
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,700
He begins to pray, not only for 
himself, not only for the 

101
00:07:39,700 --> 00:07:41,800
disciples who were about to run 
for their lives, but the 

102
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,400
Disciples of all time who would 
follow the lord Jesus? 

103
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,800
He looked toward heaven and he 
prayed again, father the time 

104
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:57,400
has come glorify your son so 
that your son may glorify you. 

105
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,000
What is this saying? 
What is this reviewing about 

106
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,800
Christ? 
In this lesson, I want you to 

107
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:08,600
see What this reveals. 
Not only about prayer. 

108
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:15,700
But what it reveals about 
Christ. how compassionate he is,

109
00:08:15,700 --> 00:08:20,100
how focused he is, how 
determined he is to do, the will

110
00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:24,200
of God First thing that I want 
you to see as we look at this 

111
00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:27,300
first sentence of this prayer, 
as Jesus prays. 

112
00:08:27,300 --> 00:08:32,900
He Reveals His demeanor in 
prayer, his demeanor in prayer. 

113
00:08:32,900 --> 00:08:38,000
Look what it says he looked 
toward heaven and prayed. 

114
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,100
This is no accident. 
That the holy spirit is through 

115
00:08:42,100 --> 00:08:46,600
John the Apostle included this 
very important detail in 

116
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,500
Scripture. 
You ever come to Something in 

117
00:08:49,500 --> 00:08:50,600
Scripture? 
That you think? 

118
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,400
Well, that's not that important 
you're wrong. 

119
00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:56,300
If it isn't included in 
scripture, the Holy Spirit 

120
00:08:56,300 --> 00:08:58,400
sought that it was very 
important. 

121
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:03,400
In fact, it is infallible And 
it's important that we see this 

122
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,200
Jesus demeanor. 
He looked toward Heaven, not an 

123
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,100
unimportant detail, but a very 
crucial detail to understanding 

124
00:09:11,100 --> 00:09:14,300
everything else that we're going
to see in chapter 17. 

125
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,600
He looked toward Heaven. 
What does that tell us about? 

126
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,500
Jesus reverent demeanor here 
during his prayer? 

127
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,500
It tells us that he had a clear 
focus in his prayer. 

128
00:09:26,500 --> 00:09:33,000
He was focused with clarity. 
On his prayer and he was praying

129
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,500
to, he was not just casting 
wishes into the window. 

130
00:09:36,500 --> 00:09:39,700
That's so often is what our 
prayer life is. 

131
00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:44,900
We pray just casting our wishes 
into the wind, hoping that 

132
00:09:44,900 --> 00:09:47,400
somehow they make it all the way
to heaven. 

133
00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:54,500
Presenting our wishlist to God. 
Hoping that it gets there. 

134
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,400
He was not just casting his 
wishes into the wind. 

135
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,400
He focused his eyes toward the 
father. 

136
00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:05,500
He focused himself toward the 
throne. 

137
00:10:05,500 --> 00:10:09,200
He was not just aimlessly 
throwing upwards as the pagans 

138
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:14,600
do in fact, Jesus himself 
ridiculed people for doing that.

139
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,700
No, he had a purpose and a clear
focus in his prayer. 

140
00:10:21,700 --> 00:10:23,900
He had a focus toward the 
father. 

141
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,100
Why is this important because in
Matthew chapter 6, when he told 

142
00:10:27,100 --> 00:10:29,800
his disciples? 
How to pray, look how he starts.

143
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:35,400
It's a lord, teach us to pray. 
Verse 9, this then is how you 

144
00:10:35,408 --> 00:10:36,700
should pray. 
They wanted to know how do we 

145
00:10:36,700 --> 00:10:38,200
pray in? 
Jesus said this then is how you 

146
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:44,200
should pray. 
Our Father in heaven Hallowed Be

147
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,000
Your Name. 
Our Father in heaven. 

148
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,400
Hallowed be your name. 
What did he teach them to do? 

149
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,400
Cast your eyes to the Heavens to
the father? 

150
00:10:54,300 --> 00:10:59,600
Jesus, demeanor in prayer here. 
Had a clear Focus. 

151
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,800
For the father. 
He was exercising exactly what 

152
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,900
he taught his disciples to do 
here. 

153
00:11:08,100 --> 00:11:12,900
Jesus didn't teach them. 
The praying to their Heavenly 

154
00:11:12,900 --> 00:11:17,000
Father only to somehow bypassed 
that in his prayer life. 

155
00:11:18,300 --> 00:11:21,900
No, it says he looked toward 
Heaven. 

156
00:11:21,900 --> 00:11:24,300
Why is that so important? 
Because that is where the Throne

157
00:11:24,300 --> 00:11:28,500
of God resides. 
Jesus knowing full. 

158
00:11:28,500 --> 00:11:34,300
Well, this to be the truth. 
He looked toward the father with

159
00:11:34,300 --> 00:11:38,500
a clear focus in the sprayer. 
Not only did he have a clear 

160
00:11:38,500 --> 00:11:42,500
focus in his prayer, he had a 
fervency in his prayer. 

161
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,400
Now this is not going to be as 
we see. 

162
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,900
John's 17th chapter unfold in 
the next few weeks. 

163
00:11:48,900 --> 00:11:53,400
This is not going to be a 
lifeless cold impasse in it 

164
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:58,000
prayer. 
No, he is driven by fervent 

165
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:03,100
passion in his prayer. 
To pray without passion is to 

166
00:12:03,100 --> 00:12:08,100
pray cold prayers. 
The Puritan Thomas Brooks said 

167
00:12:08,100 --> 00:12:11,400
this, he said cold prayers 
always freeze before they reach 

168
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,000
heaven. 
What wisdom and insight into 

169
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,000
that cold prayers just based 
from our fleshly desires or 

170
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,800
maybe base from are a pathetic 
attitudes. 

171
00:12:22,500 --> 00:12:25,000
He says those prayers, don't 
even reach heaven. 

172
00:12:25,900 --> 00:12:30,600
Jesus did not pray with a lack 
of passion as we will see in 

173
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:35,000
this chapter We prayed with 
fervency. 

174
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:41,700
Not offering a cold prayer. 
Returns, a passionate gaze 

175
00:12:42,300 --> 00:12:50,300
toward the Father in heaven and 
reverence and in fervency James 

176
00:12:50,300 --> 00:12:56,100
5:16 to King James says it like 
this, the effectual fervent 

177
00:12:56,100 --> 00:13:02,600
prayers of a righteous man. 
Availeth much those fervent 

178
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,900
prayers. 
What does that even mean? 

179
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,200
That word at, we sieve for 
fervent. 

180
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,400
Effective. 
You'll see it in a modern 

181
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:17,300
translation that is the Greek 
word at where we get our English

182
00:13:17,300 --> 00:13:22,300
word energy, so many times. 
Our prayers are dead and 

183
00:13:22,300 --> 00:13:28,900
lifeless weed out when we pray. 
You don't passionately focus on 

184
00:13:28,900 --> 00:13:31,700
God in our prayers. 
Here Jesus doing the exact 

185
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:36,100
opposite of that fervent. 
In his prayer with great energy 

186
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,500
and passion. 
We refer to these days that 

187
00:13:39,500 --> 00:13:42,800
we're going to see unfold toward
the cross and the resurrection 

188
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:48,400
as The Passion of Christ. 
But, you cannot be passionate in

189
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:53,000
his action, fervent in his 
actions unless he was first 

190
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,400
fervent in his prayer. 
I would to God that every 

191
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:04,900
Christian in this room here that
you will only live the Christian

192
00:14:04,900 --> 00:14:10,300
Life to the fervency to which 
you pray in your prayer closet. 

193
00:14:13,500 --> 00:14:20,200
You will only. 
Live out your passion in the 

194
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:25,300
day-to-day. 
That you pray with in the 

195
00:14:25,300 --> 00:14:29,100
secret. 
Jesus, showing us this principle

196
00:14:29,100 --> 00:14:33,600
here with a fervency in his 
prayer passion. 

197
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:39,700
Toward the heavens toward the 
father, his entire demeanor as 

198
00:14:39,700 --> 00:14:42,600
we will see step-by-step laid 
out for us. 

199
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:47,000
That he is passionate and not 
cold in his prayers. 

200
00:14:48,100 --> 00:14:52,500
We see Jesus fervency as our 
great high priest and how that 

201
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:59,200
over Joy's my soul. 
To know that Jesus. 

202
00:15:00,300 --> 00:15:05,400
Dispassionate in the sprayer 
that we are about to discover 

203
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:10,600
about to examine. 
His fervent in his demeanor. 

204
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,900
He's clear and focused in his 
demeanor, Jesus is again, 

205
00:15:15,900 --> 00:15:23,000
fulfilling all of his Offices 
here but specifically The office

206
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,800
of priest. 
He being our Prophet, our 

207
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:30,200
priest, and our King. 
We see him here praying, As that

208
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,800
great high priest would pray for
those who he was making 

209
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,900
atonement for. 
Next is Jesus. 

210
00:15:38,900 --> 00:15:43,200
Praise He reveals not only his 
demeanor in prayer. 

211
00:15:44,300 --> 00:15:47,500
But secondly, he Reveals His 
determination to do. 

212
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,800
The father's will What he says 
next. 

213
00:15:54,400 --> 00:16:01,000
He looked toward heaven and he 
prayed father. the hour of the 

214
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:07,500
time has come, You know, we've 
seen other instances in John's 

215
00:16:07,500 --> 00:16:11,800
gospel had only you remember 
with me and chapter 2 there at 

216
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:16,100
the marriage in Cana of Galilee,
there was the marriage supper 

217
00:16:16,100 --> 00:16:19,100
and they ran out of wine. 
And Jesus turned the water into 

218
00:16:19,100 --> 00:16:22,600
wine, but when his mother came 
to him, she said Jesus you've 

219
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,400
got to do something here. 
This whole family is about to be

220
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,200
embarrassed, the party's not 
over and they never run out of 

221
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,400
wine. 
What did Jesus say to her woman?

222
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,300
My hour has not yet. 
Come. 

223
00:16:36,300 --> 00:16:40,100
We see another time. 
At the Feast of Tabernacles in 

224
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:45,900
John 7:30. 
But a desire to seize Jesus. 

225
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,600
The father would not allow it 
why he escaped because his hour 

226
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:58,800
had not yet come. 
We see again in John chapter 8, 

227
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,300
verse 20, there at the temple 
and wanted to seize Jesus again.

228
00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:07,800
They were not permitted to see 
him at this time, either why his

229
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:12,099
hour had not yet come, but in 
just a few hours here from John 

230
00:17:12,099 --> 00:17:15,500
17, there in the Garden of 
Gethsemane, they are going to 

231
00:17:15,500 --> 00:17:19,900
seize him only because he 
allowed them to do it, why? 

232
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:27,900
Because his hour had come. 
The perfect timing and 

233
00:17:27,900 --> 00:17:32,100
fulfillment of the will of God 
had come. 

234
00:17:32,500 --> 00:17:38,100
And Jesus knew this, he says 
father the hour has come and he 

235
00:17:38,100 --> 00:17:41,700
is determined to in that 
statement to do the father's 

236
00:17:41,700 --> 00:17:46,500
will what a prayer? 
Jesus here, approaching the 

237
00:17:46,500 --> 00:17:48,700
father turning his eyes to 
heaven. 

238
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,900
Knowing everything that is 
coming. 

239
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,500
Father. 
The hour has come what he was 

240
00:17:58,500 --> 00:18:01,700
not doing, he was not giving the
Father, the news that it was 

241
00:18:01,700 --> 00:18:05,100
time. 
That would be ridiculous. 

242
00:18:06,500 --> 00:18:10,200
Jesus was acknowledging. 
We're on the same page. 

243
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:17,200
And I'm ready to fulfill what 
has been destined for me in 

244
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:22,900
eternity past. 
The hour has come Jesus prayed, 

245
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:28,200
knowing in and accepting 
whatever lie ahead. 

246
00:18:29,700 --> 00:18:33,500
Oh, we could learn so much from 
the Savior here in his prayers. 

247
00:18:33,500 --> 00:18:37,900
Lord, I don't know what lie 
ahead. 

248
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:44,200
But I'm trusting in your will 
Jesus fully. 

249
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:51,200
Knowing All of the terror. 
That just hours from then he 

250
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:56,800
would inder. 
And he says, my hour has come my

251
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:01,200
hour has come to do your will 
father. 

252
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,800
He knew the pain and the 
suffering that he would undergo.

253
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,500
He knew the ridicule in the 
mockery that he would face. 

254
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,500
He knew that his beard as the 
prophet had proclaimed would be 

255
00:19:10,500 --> 00:19:13,200
ripped from his face and that 
his flesh would be torn from his

256
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,000
back and that Nails would be 
driven in his hands and his feet

257
00:19:16,100 --> 00:19:19,300
and that a thorn crown of thorns
would be pressed into his skull.

258
00:19:19,300 --> 00:19:24,300
He knew all of these things. 
Said, it's time for this thing 

259
00:19:25,700 --> 00:19:28,700
the hour. 
Has come. 

260
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:35,100
He knew the weight of sin. 
If he would carry the weight of 

261
00:19:35,100 --> 00:19:39,800
sin that he would carry, he knew
that he was going to be weighted

262
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:44,100
down with the wrath of God, that
belonged to the wicked Sinners 

263
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:49,800
such as myself. 
He said the hour has come for 

264
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,700
that. 
The hour has come. 

265
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,200
That I submit to do the will of 
the father. 

266
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,100
He was determined to do the will
of the father, praying knowing 

267
00:20:03,100 --> 00:20:08,300
and accepting, what lie ahead. 
Why would the gun that we would 

268
00:20:08,300 --> 00:20:08,800
learn? 
That? 

269
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,700
I would learn that we 
collectively could learn to 

270
00:20:11,700 --> 00:20:18,700
pray, whatever, lie ahead, Lord,
your will be done. 

271
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,000
The hour had come. 
And he would not make an 

272
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,400
attempt. 
To evade that hour. 

273
00:20:30,500 --> 00:20:35,400
He would walk through the valley
of the shadow of death. knowing 

274
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:42,200
that he need not fear any evil 
here, he is knowing that full 

275
00:20:42,700 --> 00:20:48,500
well Accepting what lie ahead. 
Not only that Jesus prayed. 

276
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,800
Embracing what he must do in 
accordance with the father's 

277
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:57,100
will In accordance with the 
father's will in specifically 

278
00:20:57,100 --> 00:21:01,300
redeeming Sinners for God. 
The plan of the father had been 

279
00:21:01,300 --> 00:21:05,100
established in eternity past. 
Jesus was not just now getting 

280
00:21:05,100 --> 00:21:09,600
the memo on that. 
He knew the plan and he knew 

281
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,000
that the time had come to its 
full fulfillment. 

282
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:18,600
And that he Was embracing. 
Everything that the father had 

283
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,800
planned in eternity past, he's 
embracing it in this prayer. 

284
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:27,500
The hour has come Let It Be. 
Your predestined plan. 

285
00:21:28,700 --> 00:21:32,600
Has arrived. 
Acts chapter 2 Peter speaks of 

286
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,600
this predestined plan in Chapter
2 of Acts. 

287
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,400
Peter says this, in verse 23, 
this man was handed over to you,

288
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,500
by God said purpose. 
He's talking about Christ and 

289
00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:45,700
for knowledge for God, set 
purpose and foreknowledge. 

290
00:21:45,700 --> 00:21:48,300
That means this, it was set in 
eternity past through the 

291
00:21:48,300 --> 00:21:50,600
foreknowledge of God. 
He knew exactly how it was going

292
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:55,100
to play out. 
And you with the help of wicked 

293
00:21:55,100 --> 00:21:57,200
men, put him to death by nailing
him, to a cross. 

294
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,700
But God raised him from the 
dead, freeing him from the agony

295
00:22:00,700 --> 00:22:03,300
of death because it was 
impossible for death to keep 

296
00:22:03,300 --> 00:22:09,800
its, hold on him. 
Jesus embraced what the father 

297
00:22:10,100 --> 00:22:15,200
had willed. 
Even though he probably wasn't 

298
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:21,800
giddy about it in his Humanity. 
Oh we not are and forget that 

299
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:26,000
though he is fully God. 
He is also here in John 17, 

300
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,900
fully man. 
He wasn't giddy about going to 

301
00:22:30,900 --> 00:22:34,900
the cross. 
He was determined to do. 

302
00:22:34,900 --> 00:22:39,600
The father's will in spite of 
what he had to suffer. 

303
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,700
What he had to endure? 
Knowing that the father would be

304
00:22:44,700 --> 00:22:50,100
faithful to do, all that he had 
promised Jesus prayed embracing 

305
00:22:51,100 --> 00:22:53,800
what he must do in accordance 
with the father's will in 

306
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,900
redeeming Sinners. 
And I'm so thankful today that 

307
00:22:56,900 --> 00:23:04,100
he did Where would we be? 
Had Jesus run from the will of 

308
00:23:04,100 --> 00:23:10,000
God in regard to the cross. 
I can tell you where I would be,

309
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,900
I would be a sinner lost in my 
sin forever. 

310
00:23:12,900 --> 00:23:17,100
Condemned to already destined 
for hell and wrath and judgment,

311
00:23:17,100 --> 00:23:20,500
were it not for Christ 
obediently, fulfilling the will 

312
00:23:20,500 --> 00:23:23,900
of God through his death burial 
and Resurrection Calvary. 

313
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:29,000
The plan of the father that had 
been established was now being 

314
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,100
enacted by Christ. 
Not only did he embrace it. 

315
00:23:34,100 --> 00:23:37,400
And accept it as the father's 
will in this prayer. 

316
00:23:38,900 --> 00:23:43,600
We're going to see he obeyed it 
with his actions. 

317
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,800
He obeyed it with his actions, 
John 4:34. 

318
00:23:48,900 --> 00:23:52,800
The Lord said my food said Jesus
is to do the will of him who 

319
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:58,000
sent me and to finish his work. 
He didn't say was just to accept

320
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,600
it and to embrace it, he said it
is also to do it. 

321
00:24:01,700 --> 00:24:05,000
The follow-through in the action
with the plan of the father, 

322
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,200
Isaiah 50 verse 6. 
The prophet writing hundreds of 

323
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,600
years before Christ, watch what 
he says, I offered my back to 

324
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:20,200
those who beat me my cheeks to 
those who pulled out my beard, I

325
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:24,600
did not hide my face from 
mocking and spitting. 

326
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,300
Isaiah hundreds of years before 
Christ revealed the plan, 

327
00:24:30,300 --> 00:24:31,900
exactly what was going to 
happen. 

328
00:24:31,900 --> 00:24:34,400
Exactly what did happen. 
And you know what Isaiah says, 

329
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:41,600
he did not hide his face from 
this. but instead, He offered 

330
00:24:42,100 --> 00:24:49,500
his back to those who beat him, 
he offered himself, his cheeks 

331
00:24:49,500 --> 00:24:51,700
to those who pulled out his 
beard. 

332
00:24:52,700 --> 00:24:57,100
He did not hide his face from 
mocking and spinning, he endured

333
00:24:57,100 --> 00:24:59,500
this. 
Jesus went through this to 

334
00:24:59,500 --> 00:25:03,400
redeem Sinners because it was 
the will of the father. 

335
00:25:04,300 --> 00:25:07,900
He embraced the father's will 
and he enacted it. 

336
00:25:08,900 --> 00:25:12,500
I putting it into action little 
lesson to learn here if we're 

337
00:25:12,500 --> 00:25:14,500
going to pray for the father's 
will. 

338
00:25:16,300 --> 00:25:21,800
We must also be willing to do 
the father's will so many times 

339
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,200
we pray the will of the father 
because it's a spiritual thing 

340
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,700
to do and then when we know the 
will of the father because we 

341
00:25:26,700 --> 00:25:30,100
see it clearly in the word of 
God, we neglect to do it. 

342
00:25:32,100 --> 00:25:35,800
That's simply just words, Thomas
Watson said if the heart does 

343
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:42,600
not accompany Duty. 
It's speaking not praying. 

344
00:25:43,700 --> 00:25:47,800
Thomas Watson, understood this 
and if you're truly praying from

345
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:53,600
the heart, you will embrace the 
will of God and you will act it 

346
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,300
out in the duties of the 
Christian Life. 

347
00:25:57,300 --> 00:26:01,600
Jesus is acting this out. 
Here he is doing What he was 

348
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:07,500
predestined to do. 
We mustn't ever mustn't, ever 

349
00:26:07,500 --> 00:26:09,200
pray. 
The will of God and then turn 

350
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:13,900
around only to disobey the will 
of God that is just empty 

351
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,300
speaking, that's not prayer, 
prayer is saying. 

352
00:26:18,300 --> 00:26:23,200
Lord Reveal Your Will to me why 
Not simply so I can know it. 

353
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:31,400
But so as your child I can 
obediently do your will so many 

354
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,100
times you know the will of God 
but you aren't actively doing it

355
00:26:34,100 --> 00:26:36,800
should not be. 
So Jesus gives us a different 

356
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:43,500
example here that we must do all
that the father has willed in 

357
00:26:43,500 --> 00:26:50,800
every hour of our life just as 
Christ did even in his hour of 

358
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,700
suffering and death. 
In our prayers. 

359
00:26:56,700 --> 00:27:00,700
Let us pray as Jesus did. 
But as trust in God's 

360
00:27:00,700 --> 00:27:08,200
providential plan, let us be 
determined to do the will of God

361
00:27:08,300 --> 00:27:12,700
watch this even if it 
contradicts your will. 

362
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,900
I am so thankful that the will 
of God contradicted, my will in 

363
00:27:18,900 --> 00:27:22,600
Salvation. 
I would have never come to God. 

364
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:26,100
Had he not drawn me unto 
himself? 

365
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,700
we've already learned that in 
John's gospel hadn't, we And no 

366
00:27:31,700 --> 00:27:34,400
man comes unless the father 
draws him. 

367
00:27:35,500 --> 00:27:38,300
How beautiful that is when we 
see the truth of that. 

368
00:27:39,300 --> 00:27:41,400
Jesus prays here and he reveals 
in his prayers. 

369
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:46,000
Determination to do, the 
father's will As he continues to

370
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:51,300
pray in this one short sentence.
We also see that he Reveals His 

371
00:27:51,300 --> 00:27:57,500
dependency upon the father, His 
dependency upon the father, 

372
00:27:57,500 --> 00:28:00,900
watch what he says. 
Next father, the time has come 

373
00:28:02,300 --> 00:28:08,800
Glorify your son. 
Glorify your son. 

374
00:28:10,500 --> 00:28:16,200
The only Glory that Christ was 
interested in was to be 

375
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:21,200
glorified because of his 
obedience to the father. 

376
00:28:22,500 --> 00:28:28,400
Jesus depended on the father's 
glory and not in His glory 

377
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,200
alone. 
John chapter 8. 

378
00:28:31,300 --> 00:28:33,000
Verse 54. 
Jesus replied. 

379
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:40,000
If I glorify myself. 
My glory means nothing. 

380
00:28:41,100 --> 00:28:44,300
My father whom you claim as your
God, remember he was rebuking 

381
00:28:44,300 --> 00:28:49,900
the religious leaders there. 
He says is the one who glorifies

382
00:28:49,900 --> 00:28:53,500
me. 
Well see the dependency of 

383
00:28:53,500 --> 00:28:57,500
Christ upon the Father. 
The glory of the sun was 

384
00:28:57,500 --> 00:29:02,000
finished and complete through 
the preordained work of the 

385
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,100
cross. 
That the father had determined 

386
00:29:04,100 --> 00:29:07,200
in eternity past would come to 
be. 

387
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:12,400
And here we see Christ accepting
that and depending on to the 

388
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,000
father to give him glory 
through. 

389
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,900
It just as the father has 
promised that he He would Jesus 

390
00:29:19,900 --> 00:29:23,000
was simply trusting in the 
father to accomplish the plan. 

391
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:29,600
That plan that he had laid out 
that plan that was his that men 

392
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:33,500
would be redeemed and reconciled
to a holy God. 

393
00:29:34,500 --> 00:29:39,000
So how beautiful it is to see 
the dependency of Jesus upon his

394
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,400
father? 
She the fathers? 

395
00:29:43,500 --> 00:29:47,700
Power. 
Displayed in his suffering 

396
00:29:47,700 --> 00:29:50,400
Christ depended on this. 
The father's power in his 

397
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,100
suffering on the cross. 
He trusted the father would 

398
00:29:53,100 --> 00:29:55,900
glorify the sun in all of his 
suffering. 

399
00:29:57,700 --> 00:30:01,600
To take what wicked men intended
for harm and to use it for the 

400
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,300
greater good. 
And for the glory of God, 

401
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,400
Hebrews chapter 2, the writer of
Hebrews says this in verse 9, 

402
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:12,300
but we see Jesus who was made a 
little lower than the Angels, 

403
00:30:12,300 --> 00:30:14,500
that's the condescension of 
Christ that we talked about 

404
00:30:14,500 --> 00:30:19,600
before, As we sing the song All 
sufficient Merit Now crowned 

405
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,400
with Glory though we saw him 
made a little lower than the 

406
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,300
Angels. 
Now he's crowned with Glory and 

407
00:30:25,300 --> 00:30:31,200
Honor because he suffered death 
And that by the grace of God. 

408
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,000
He might taste death. 
For everyone. 

409
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,700
Now, we see him, crowned, with 
Glory and Honor. 

410
00:30:40,700 --> 00:30:45,400
Why? 
Because he pleased the father in

411
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:51,500
his suffering, and in his death,
Well, that is so foreign for us 

412
00:30:51,500 --> 00:30:55,400
to even attempt to grasp that 
the father would be pleased in 

413
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:56,900
our suffering. 
Yes. 

414
00:30:59,700 --> 00:31:04,000
In fact, we're promised in 
Scripture that our sufferings 

415
00:31:04,900 --> 00:31:07,700
our light and momentary in this 
world. 

416
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:13,300
They are light and momentary 
compared to the glory that we 

417
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:18,600
will receive in Christ. 
And oh, what hope we have in 

418
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,700
that Glory. 
Father's power. 

419
00:31:21,700 --> 00:31:26,000
Jesus was, depending upon it 
here in his prayer that he could

420
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,100
endure the suffering of the 
cross that he would once again, 

421
00:31:30,100 --> 00:31:33,300
where the glory of that 
suffering. 

422
00:31:34,300 --> 00:31:37,300
He also depended here, as we, 
look at his dependency upon the 

423
00:31:37,300 --> 00:31:39,800
father in Paris, he says, 
glorify your son. 

424
00:31:40,300 --> 00:31:43,100
He depended in the father's 
presence and his abandonment. 

425
00:31:43,100 --> 00:31:46,100
Remember back in 1632, he told 
his disciples. 

426
00:31:46,100 --> 00:31:48,100
You're all going to abandon me, 
but don't worry. 

427
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,000
The father's never going to 
abandon me. 

428
00:31:54,300 --> 00:31:59,100
He depended upon the father to 
do just as the father had 

429
00:31:59,100 --> 00:32:03,200
promised. 
He would do Though he was 

430
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:07,000
abandoned by all of those, he 
knew In the Flesh in his 

431
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:12,600
lifetime. 
Though, he was placed in a grave

432
00:32:13,300 --> 00:32:18,600
and buried. 
He was never abandoned by his 

433
00:32:18,700 --> 00:32:23,100
ever-present father Peter again 
preaching in Acts chapter 2 in 

434
00:32:23,100 --> 00:32:26,800
the same sermon watch what he 
says he quotes the prophet David

435
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,000
verse 25 David said about him. 
He said this about the Lord, I 

436
00:32:30,008 --> 00:32:33,500
Saw the lord always before me 
because he is at my right hand 

437
00:32:33,500 --> 00:32:36,500
and I will not be shaken. 
Therefore, my heart is glad and 

438
00:32:36,500 --> 00:32:40,300
my tongue rejoices my body. 
Also will live in Hope because 

439
00:32:40,300 --> 00:32:44,000
you will not abandon me to the 
Grave. 

440
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:49,800
Nor will you let your Holy One? 
See, Decay Jesus knew that 

441
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,800
through David, that there was a 
promise that was already made in

442
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:58,000
eternity past, hit the father, 
would not let the sun stay in 

443
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,200
that grave. 
And he depended upon the father 

444
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,500
in his prayer here. 
Glorified me through my death 

445
00:33:04,500 --> 00:33:08,400
glorified me through my burial. 
Glorify me through my 

446
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:12,300
resurrection trusting in the 
father to do that work. 

447
00:33:12,300 --> 00:33:16,500
Glorify your son. 
You trusted in the father's 

448
00:33:16,500 --> 00:33:21,300
presence. 
When all others abandon him. 

449
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,300
Jesus trusted. 
The father would soon glorify 

450
00:33:28,300 --> 00:33:34,500
him. 
Price dependent on the father. 

451
00:33:35,700 --> 00:33:38,400
Defendant depended on the 
father's power in his suffering.

452
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,900
He depended on the father's 
presence and his abandonment. 

453
00:33:44,300 --> 00:33:46,800
And he depended upon the 
Father's Promise of his 

454
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,400
resurrection from the dead 
Isaiah 53. 

455
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,900
Verse 10, Isaiah being used by 
God. 

456
00:33:56,100 --> 00:34:00,100
To foretell the resurrection of 
Christ verse 10 is said yet. 

457
00:34:00,100 --> 00:34:04,600
It was the Lord's will to crush 
him and cause him to suffer was 

458
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,200
God's will. 
We've already talked about that,

459
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:12,800
Jesus was embracing that the 
hour has come Glorify your son. 

460
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,000
Though, the Lord makes his life 
a guilt offering. 

461
00:34:18,100 --> 00:34:23,199
He will see his offspring and 
prolong his days and the will of

462
00:34:23,199 --> 00:34:25,400
the Lord will prosper in his 
hand. 

463
00:34:25,900 --> 00:34:31,199
After the suffering of his soul,
he will see the light of life 

464
00:34:31,199 --> 00:34:33,699
and be satisfied by his 
knowledge. 

465
00:34:33,699 --> 00:34:38,600
My righteous servant will 
justify many and he will bear 

466
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,900
their iniquities there. 
In Isaiah's prophecy. 

467
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,800
The Plan of Salvation is laid 
out that the Lord's will. 

468
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:51,699
Was that the Sun be crushed? 
And then he suffer and that he 

469
00:34:51,699 --> 00:34:54,500
died. 
But he promised him, I'm not 

470
00:34:54,500 --> 00:35:01,700
going to leave you there. 
You suffer in your soul. 

471
00:35:03,700 --> 00:35:09,000
On the third day. 
That stone is going to be rolled

472
00:35:09,300 --> 00:35:14,400
away and you are going to see 
the light of life and you are 

473
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,200
going to be satisfied. 
Why? 

474
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:21,200
Because the will of the father 
was accomplish It is through 

475
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,800
Christ, that that Will was 
accomplished. 

476
00:35:24,500 --> 00:35:27,600
He trusted in the Father's 
Promise of his resurrection from

477
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,500
the dead here, as he says, 
glorify your son, he knows all 

478
00:35:30,500 --> 00:35:35,100
that that entail. 
Because the glory of the son is 

479
00:35:35,100 --> 00:35:39,200
in his suffering, it is in his 
death, it is in his period-- is 

480
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,600
in his resurrection. 
It is in his Ascension, it is in

481
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:46,200
his soon to be returned. 
He knew that all of these things

482
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,600
had to be accomplished in the 
only way that they could be 

483
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,700
accomplished. 
God, glorified the Sun. 

484
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,000
Not the son seeking his own 
Glory. 

485
00:35:58,300 --> 00:36:01,100
Father, glorify. 
Son. 

486
00:36:02,700 --> 00:36:04,600
What a beautiful picture. 
We see there. 

487
00:36:05,700 --> 00:36:11,200
In a world where we so often 
seek to find and to achieve our 

488
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:15,400
own Glory. 
Lord, I don't want to be 

489
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,800
successful. 
In the eyes of this world. 

490
00:36:20,300 --> 00:36:24,800
Lord, you glorify your son. 
I want to be successful in your 

491
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,900
eyes. 
I want to live out, the good 

492
00:36:26,900 --> 00:36:30,400
works, which you have prepared 
in advance for me to do that. 

493
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:34,100
Bring you glory in this world. 
And on this Earth, as I live 

494
00:36:34,100 --> 00:36:38,600
this life, father I depend on 
you for any Glory that I have 

495
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:42,000
and it is the glory of Christ 
that I share and that alone. 

496
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,600
I tell people all the time. 
If you see any good in me, it is

497
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,100
the glory of Christ that has 
been graciously, granted to me, 

498
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,400
by the father, You see Christ in
me, not me. 

499
00:36:55,100 --> 00:36:58,700
Jesus here as he prays Reveals 
His dependency upon the father, 

500
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,900
father's power in his suffering 
on the cross, the father's 

501
00:37:01,900 --> 00:37:05,600
presence and his abandonment and
the Father's Promise of his 

502
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:09,600
resurrection from the dead. 
And then lastly, as Jesus prays 

503
00:37:10,500 --> 00:37:16,500
revealing so much in this one 
little verse, He Reveals His 

504
00:37:16,500 --> 00:37:18,800
desire to bring, glory to the 
father. 

505
00:37:19,100 --> 00:37:21,900
What's this? 
He says, father, the time has 

506
00:37:21,900 --> 00:37:25,800
come glorify your son. and the 
only reason that I want to be 

507
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:31,400
glorified, So that I can glorify
you. 

508
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:42,000
Glorify your son. 
That your son may glorify you. 

509
00:37:43,100 --> 00:37:45,300
Oh how different that is from 
our prayer. 

510
00:37:45,300 --> 00:37:49,500
Life Lord do work so I can 
benefit or do work so I don't 

511
00:37:49,500 --> 00:37:52,000
have to suffer any pain or any 
Agony Lords or do something. 

512
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:53,600
So I have to go through any 
trial. 

513
00:37:55,300 --> 00:37:58,700
No knowing full. 
Well, what lie ahead, Jesus says

514
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,800
glorify your son so that I can 
bring you glory. 

515
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,900
Oh, we could learn so much from 
the Heart of Jesus that is being

516
00:38:06,900 --> 00:38:10,700
revealed. 
And just the intro to this 

517
00:38:10,700 --> 00:38:14,200
wonderful passage. 
He has here a desire to bring 

518
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:19,300
glory to the father that the son
may glorify you. 

519
00:38:20,700 --> 00:38:24,900
John chapter 12 we got a glimpse
into this In this passage. 

520
00:38:24,900 --> 00:38:27,900
If you remember back with me 
verse 23 it said Jesus replied, 

521
00:38:27,900 --> 00:38:30,600
the hour has come for the son of
man to be glorified. 

522
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,100
He was letting his disciples 
know that the time is 

523
00:38:33,100 --> 00:38:35,300
approaching. 
He said I tell you the truth, 

524
00:38:35,300 --> 00:38:37,900
unless a kernel of wheat falls 
to the ground and dies, it 

525
00:38:37,900 --> 00:38:41,600
remains only a Single Seed but 
if it dies it produces many 

526
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,500
seeds. 
How many of you here today are 

527
00:38:43,500 --> 00:38:45,300
thankful? 
That you were one of those many 

528
00:38:45,300 --> 00:38:49,000
seeds that because Christ fell 
to the ground and he died in 

529
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,500
that. 
We have been produced Just seeds

530
00:38:51,500 --> 00:38:54,400
unto God, the man who loves his 
life. 

531
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,600
He says, we'll lose it while the
man who hates his life. 

532
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,800
In this world will keep it for 
eternal life. 

533
00:38:59,500 --> 00:39:02,000
Whoever serves me must follow me
and where I am. 

534
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,900
My servant also will be my 
father will honor the one who 

535
00:39:04,900 --> 00:39:06,900
serves me. 
Now, watch what Jesus says, here

536
00:39:06,900 --> 00:39:11,000
in verse 27. 
Now, my heart is troubled. 

537
00:39:12,500 --> 00:39:16,300
And what shall I say? 
Why was his heart trouble? 

538
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,600
He knew what was about to 
happen, but watch what he says. 

539
00:39:23,300 --> 00:39:25,900
Shall I say father, save me from
this hour. 

540
00:39:27,900 --> 00:39:34,300
Watch what Jesus says, no. 
It was for this very reason. 

541
00:39:34,300 --> 00:39:39,000
I came to this, Our Father, 
glorify your name. 

542
00:39:39,700 --> 00:39:42,800
Then a voice Came From Heaven, I
have glorified it and will 

543
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:44,900
glorify it again. 
How is he doing this? 

544
00:39:44,900 --> 00:39:47,300
He was glorifying his name 
through the Life of Christ of 

545
00:39:47,300 --> 00:39:50,100
the Miracles that he wrought to 
the preaching that he preached. 

546
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,500
And now he's saying I'm going to
glorify it again. 

547
00:39:52,500 --> 00:39:55,500
Then your death, your burial and
Resurrection your Ascension and 

548
00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:57,800
your return. 
I'm going to glorify your name 

549
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,200
because in glorifying your name,
my name will be glorified. 

550
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:08,100
Jesus prays that in his desire 
is to bring glory to the father.

551
00:40:08,100 --> 00:40:10,500
Where is that in the American 
church? 

552
00:40:10,500 --> 00:40:13,700
When we pray, Lord, your will be
done. 

553
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,500
So that you can receive glory 
and honor and praise. 

554
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,100
Jesus understood is that the 
glory of the father was his 

555
00:40:22,100 --> 00:40:27,800
entire purpose? 
The father's glory is the whole 

556
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,600
purpose of Christ. 
Jesus came. 

557
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:35,700
He said it many times to do the 
will of the father who sent him.

558
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:45,700
And he did it flawlessly. 
Is all sufficient Merit. 

559
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,600
Flawlessly. 
He did, the will of God. 

560
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,900
So that the father would receive
all of the glory. 

561
00:40:55,500 --> 00:40:59,900
As he praised there in verse 1 
of 17 that the son may glorify 

562
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:04,200
you. 
The father's glory is the whole 

563
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:07,100
purpose of Christ. 
May we never forget that. 

564
00:41:08,900 --> 00:41:14,300
And the father's Glory. 
Should be the whole purpose of 

565
00:41:14,300 --> 00:41:19,600
all who are in Christ. 
You share that purpose in your 

566
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:21,900
prayer. 
What do you pray? 

567
00:41:21,900 --> 00:41:26,900
So that the father may be 
glorified or do you like most in

568
00:41:26,900 --> 00:41:28,400
the American church? 
Pray only. 

569
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:35,300
So you can get more The whole 
charismatic movement that is 

570
00:41:35,300 --> 00:41:39,000
built on selfish, American 
Greed, praise that way. 

571
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:46,300
Don't join their ranks. 
What would happen if the church 

572
00:41:46,300 --> 00:41:50,800
started praying? 
This Lord, your will be done, no

573
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,100
matter what that is, even if I 
have to suffer. 

574
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,200
So long. 
As you. 

575
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:02,800
Are glorified. 
So long as you are glorified, be

576
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:07,300
analyzed the death, be it 
suffering in pain. 

577
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,300
That's how Jesus prayed here, 
knowing suffering and pain was 

578
00:42:11,300 --> 00:42:15,600
just ahead. 
And he says I need you father to

579
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:19,000
glorify me for one purpose and 
that is so I can glorify you 

580
00:42:19,100 --> 00:42:23,000
Lord, build the Christians up. 
Why build them up? 

581
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,300
Encourage them, strengthen them 
not so that they can go around 

582
00:42:26,300 --> 00:42:29,100
arrogantly claiming to be better
than anyone else know. 

583
00:42:29,100 --> 00:42:32,700
So they can bring glory to their
Heavenly Father. 

584
00:42:34,300 --> 00:42:36,700
You said Kirk, why are you so 
passionate about this? 

585
00:42:36,700 --> 00:42:44,400
Because no one seems to be. 
That she that Jesus is. well, 

586
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:49,700
that the Sun may bring Glory. 
To you. 

587
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,600
The father's Glory should be our
whole purpose. 

588
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:57,300
Let's go back to the Reformation
where we got this Latin phrase 

589
00:42:57,500 --> 00:43:02,700
Sola Deo Gloria. 
Solid Deo Gloria. 

590
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,300
For those of you who aren't 
Latin students like myself, I'll

591
00:43:06,300 --> 00:43:08,800
translate it as Google 
translated it for me. 

592
00:43:11,700 --> 00:43:19,000
God's glory alone. 
That is why we exist that is why

593
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,800
he's breathing life into us. 
That is why he has saved us 

594
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:25,900
through Christ Jesus sacrifice. 
It is for His glory and His 

595
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,800
glory alone. 
Here in a reach group and you 

596
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,000
signed up for the five Solas, 
you're going to learn about all 

597
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,000
of those things, and I'm excited
for you. 

598
00:43:36,900 --> 00:43:41,200
You're going to see that your 
purpose is to glorify God. 

599
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,700
The second London, Baptist 
confession of faith and 1689. 

600
00:43:46,700 --> 00:43:48,700
The long with the Westminster 
Confession of Faith. 

601
00:43:48,700 --> 00:43:51,900
You've heard me mention them and
you go to our website. 

602
00:43:51,900 --> 00:43:54,300
You will see that the London, 
Baptist confession of faith of 

603
00:43:54,300 --> 00:44:00,700
1689 is on our website. 
And both of those confessions of

604
00:44:00,700 --> 00:44:03,700
faith. 
Both of them agree. 

605
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:08,400
But the chief end of man man's 
entire purpose. 

606
00:44:09,900 --> 00:44:14,900
It's to bring glory to God. 
To enjoy fellowship with him 

607
00:44:14,900 --> 00:44:18,300
forever. 
That's what we were created to 

608
00:44:18,300 --> 00:44:23,000
do and it is in Christ that we 
are recreated so that we can do 

609
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:27,600
this. 
But so many times Our prayers 

610
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:32,600
are just words hoping that God 
will hear them so that we can 

611
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:38,400
get what we want. 
I would challenge every 

612
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,300
Christian in the room as I 
challenge myself with the 

613
00:44:41,300 --> 00:44:45,000
statement. 
What would happen? 

614
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:52,800
if you said, Lord take away, 
Everything in my life, that is 

615
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:58,400
not Christ. 
And let me glorify you through 

616
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:03,600
that. 
Oh, the American Church would 

617
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:07,400
never. 
Pray, such a radical thing, 

618
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:11,600
would they? 
We see the one that we claim to 

619
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,800
follow here, the Lord Jesus. 
Pray exactly that. 

620
00:45:16,300 --> 00:45:18,300
I know all my friends are going 
to abandon me. 

621
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,100
I know that they're going to 
disown me, those who have spent 

622
00:45:22,100 --> 00:45:26,900
the last years of my life 
pouring into I know that the 

623
00:45:26,900 --> 00:45:33,100
people of Israel, my people. 
Have arranged this whole thing 

624
00:45:33,100 --> 00:45:36,800
that one of my own has betrayed 
me and committed treason against

625
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,600
God and flat. 
I know. 

626
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:47,500
That Roman soldiers. 
Her just doing what they are 

627
00:45:47,500 --> 00:45:51,400
told to do. 
You're going to beat me. 

628
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:56,600
And torture me. 
And eventually kill me. 

629
00:45:58,500 --> 00:46:03,700
But Lord. 
If it brings you glory, father. 

630
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:11,200
So let it be. 
Oh, how the Sun brought glory to

631
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:15,300
the father? 
We see his desire in prayer to 

632
00:46:15,300 --> 00:46:17,100
do. 
That Jesus wasn't running from 

633
00:46:17,100 --> 00:46:20,600
the cross. 
Each moment he was taking 

634
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:26,000
another step toward it. 
You know, how thankful I am for 

635
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:30,900
that? 
What do we do with this? 

636
00:46:31,900 --> 00:46:34,900
What do we do with what this 
reveals about, Jesus, and his 

637
00:46:34,900 --> 00:46:37,800
prayer life. 
What can we take away from this?

638
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,800
I'll tell you what we can do. 
We can examine our lives in 

639
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,800
light of this opening, to this 
great prayer that we're going to

640
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:48,300
see made by Jesus, and we can 
examine ourselves in light of 

641
00:46:48,300 --> 00:46:52,200
this by asking a few questions. 
If you questions that are 

642
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:58,100
related to this one verse, I'm 
going to make a huge assumption 

643
00:46:58,100 --> 00:47:00,500
here, though. 
I know that I are in doing 

644
00:47:00,500 --> 00:47:03,900
those. 
Assuming that we are all 

645
00:47:03,900 --> 00:47:08,400
believers here. 
We can ask ourselves these 

646
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:12,800
question. 
Number one is my demeanor in 

647
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:19,400
prayer like that of Christ. 
Do I lift my eyes to my heavenly

648
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,300
father? 
Very my prayer life. 

649
00:47:22,300 --> 00:47:25,900
Am I so focused on all of my 
Earthly concerns that I really 

650
00:47:25,900 --> 00:47:28,900
give him no regard unhappy when 
he gives me what I want but I'm 

651
00:47:28,900 --> 00:47:34,200
upset when he doesn't. 
Is my demeanor in prayer like 

652
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:38,700
that of Christ. 
Is my determination in prayer to

653
00:47:38,700 --> 00:47:42,500
know and to do the father's will
as Christ. 

654
00:47:43,100 --> 00:47:47,000
Did the father's will is that a 
part of my prayer life to know 

655
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:52,300
the will of God and to do the 
will of God 43. 

656
00:47:52,300 --> 00:47:55,200
Do my prayers. 
Indicate my dependency upon the 

657
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,800
father. 
When you pray, you depending 

658
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:03,400
upon the father Are you trying 
to alter the father's mind so 

659
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:07,000
that he does? 
What you will and what you 

660
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,100
desire? 
Are you asking the father to 

661
00:48:09,100 --> 00:48:13,400
depend upon your want list as if
he's Santa Claus and you're 

662
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:17,100
making out a Christmas list to 
send to him, hoping that you get

663
00:48:17,100 --> 00:48:22,400
everything that you want and 
being upset when you don't, How 

664
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:27,300
about we take Jesus example? 
See that in his prayers. 

665
00:48:28,500 --> 00:48:32,600
He depended upon the father. 
Are you trusting the father with

666
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,800
everything everything in this 
life, everything in the Life to 

667
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:41,000
Come. 
Are you solely dependent upon 

668
00:48:41,700 --> 00:48:47,600
him? 
Then ask yourself this question.

669
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,900
Does my prayer life reveal that 
my greatest desire? 

670
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:57,400
Is the glory of God. 
Does my prayer lives reveal 

671
00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:00,000
that? 
My greatest desire is the glory 

672
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:08,800
of God and no glory of my own. 
Oh, I can only answer those 

673
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,300
questions for myself. 
I would ask that you would 

674
00:49:11,300 --> 00:49:13,600
examine yourself and ask 
yourself those questions or 

675
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:17,900
perhaps? 
unfortunately, you have to say, 

676
00:49:19,100 --> 00:49:24,200
Prayer life. 
I can't tell you the last time I

677
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:27,600
actually took out of my busy 
schedule. 

678
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:32,700
To get on my face and get alone 
with God In Prayer. 

679
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,800
I don't say that to beat any of 
you up. 

680
00:49:37,300 --> 00:49:41,600
I say that because to miss out, 
on the intimacy of prayer that 

681
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:45,900
Jesus died for you to have is to
Forfeit one of the greatest 

682
00:49:45,900 --> 00:49:48,700
blessings that we have here on 
this Earth. 

683
00:49:50,900 --> 00:49:55,300
Again. 
Christian will only be as strong

684
00:49:56,200 --> 00:50:00,600
as his prayer life. 
Don't be deceived by all of the 

685
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:04,900
lies that contradict that You 
can have all the talent in the 

686
00:50:04,900 --> 00:50:06,100
world. 
You can have all of the 

687
00:50:06,100 --> 00:50:10,100
giftedness in the world, but if 
you do not spend time in private

688
00:50:10,100 --> 00:50:16,500
prayer with God, You're missing 
out on the greatest, blessing 

689
00:50:16,500 --> 00:50:22,200
and fellowship. 
You could ever even begin to 

690
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:24,600
imagine. 
So assuming that you're a 

691
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:26,800
Believer here today, ask 
yourself those questions. 

692
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:31,300
But perhaps you're here today 
and you're not a Believer, I 

693
00:50:31,308 --> 00:50:36,400
would encourage you. 
To turn it to Day from your sin.

694
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:42,600
And to turn to Christ as Lord, 
and Savior by faith. 

695
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,700
Trusting in Him and him alone. 
And what he did for you. 

696
00:50:45,700 --> 00:50:47,300
At the cross. 
What did he do for you at the 

697
00:50:47,300 --> 00:50:49,700
cross? 
He died in the place of every 

698
00:50:49,700 --> 00:50:53,300
Wicked sinner, who would 
believe, and trust that he is 

699
00:50:53,300 --> 00:50:58,800
Lord and Savior today. 
When he draws you unto himself 

700
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:02,300
drawing you out of sin drawing, 
you out of the deceit of 

701
00:51:02,300 --> 00:51:04,700
Darkness drawing. 
You out of the wickedness of 

702
00:51:04,700 --> 00:51:09,100
this world. 
Believe and trust in him and his

703
00:51:09,100 --> 00:51:13,500
ability to save you and to save 
you forever more and you shall 

704
00:51:13,500 --> 00:51:17,000
be saved call on the name of 
Jesus today. 

705
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:20,500
The scripture is true and it 
says, for whosoever, shall call 

706
00:51:20,500 --> 00:51:22,400
upon the name of the Lord shall 
be saved. 

707
00:51:24,300 --> 00:51:26,400
You say today. 
Well I don't know that I need to

708
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:29,500
call upon the name of the Lord. 
Then the Lord is not drawing you

709
00:51:29,500 --> 00:51:32,700
unto himself. 
Because if he were revealing 

710
00:51:32,700 --> 00:51:35,400
your condition and drawing you 
unto himself, you would want to 

711
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:38,300
call on the name of the Lord. 
You would see how desperate you 

712
00:51:38,300 --> 00:51:41,200
are and how depraved you are in 
your sin and how a need. 

713
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,100
You are of a savior and if he is
showing you that today, and he 

714
00:51:44,100 --> 00:51:48,000
is drawing you unto himself. 
Cry out to Jesus today, to save 

715
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,400
you and to wash you and to 
cleanse you from all of your 

716
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:55,700
sin, because he is the only hope
that you have. he saved today, 

717
00:51:55,700 --> 00:51:59,200
as you, believe in you trust in 
Christ, and as you repent of 

718
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:05,700
your sin, because it is then and
only then, You can know the will

719
00:52:05,700 --> 00:52:10,800
of God. and that you can pray 
true prayers and that you can 

720
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:17,100
live out God's plan and that you
can see the glory of God 

721
00:52:17,300 --> 00:52:22,300
displayed in your life and so 
that you can bring glory to God 

722
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:27,200
with your life. 
You don't know Christ, run to 

723
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:31,500
him today and faith and 
repentance and be saved if you 

724
00:52:31,500 --> 00:52:36,900
do know Christ. 
Be challenged by our wonderful 

725
00:52:36,900 --> 00:52:40,400
savior. 
With one sentence today. 

726
00:52:41,700 --> 00:52:45,700
And see his heart revealed. 
Let's pray together. 

727
00:52:45,700 --> 00:52:47,800
Father, in the name of Jesus, we
come to you now. 

728
00:52:49,100 --> 00:52:52,000
Thanking you so much for this 
one verse. 

729
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:56,300
That reveals so much about you 
Lord, Jesus. 

730
00:52:58,300 --> 00:53:03,100
May we see your prayers? 
May we pray with the same 

731
00:53:03,100 --> 00:53:07,900
consistency in fervor. 
Determination and passion. 

732
00:53:10,100 --> 00:53:13,700
May we have the same heart for 
the will of the father as you 

733
00:53:13,700 --> 00:53:16,500
do. 
And I pray for the soul who's 

734
00:53:16,500 --> 00:53:18,400
here, who does not know you that
today? 

735
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:25,400
They not let this day slip by. 
That today. 

736
00:53:26,700 --> 00:53:30,600
It would repent of their sin. 
And turn to you as Lord, and 

737
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:33,100
Savior, and be forgiven and 
granted eternal life. 

738
00:53:33,700 --> 00:53:37,000
As you've died for them to have.
We give you all the glory and 

739
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:38,700
all the praise. 
Holy Spirit, we yield to you 

740
00:53:38,700 --> 00:53:40,900
now, in the name of Jesus, we 
pray.
