1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,400 To the gospel that is on page 20. 2 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:08,280 If you have your books and Jackson, why don't you grab a 3 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,840 couple microphones for me and we'll start them in the back 4 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,720 this time. I've got a lot of verses to read 5 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,720 tonight, so I'm going to get some of you to read. 6 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,560 Let's turn over. Everybody can turn over though, 7 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,640 to 1st Corinthians chapter 15. First Corinthians chapter 15, 8 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,200 kind of what we've been talking about already is the gospel. 9 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,600 Obviously it's all kind of wrapped up in both, but we've 10 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,160 talked about repentance and faith so far. 11 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,880 And just to give you a quick review about what biblical 12 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,680 repentance is, it is admitting that I've sinned and being 13 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,240 sorry, but it's not just admitting that I've sinned, it's 14 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,880 admitting that I've sinned against God. 15 00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:49,640 He is the one that I've sinned against. 16 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,840 He's the one who's perfect. He's the one that's just, and 17 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,400 when I sin, it's sinning against God. 18 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,600 And so that's why Paul says in Acts chapter 20, verse 21, 19 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,520 repentance is toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. 20 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,720 So it's admitting that I've sinned against God and being 21 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,640 sorry for that. It means to turn around and 22 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,880 change directions. It means to surrender to God's 23 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,520 rule. It's not just a change of life 24 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,480 if it's a change of mind about God and about sin and that 25 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,320 results in a change of life. And we gave some examples of 26 00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:21,200 that and talked about some more things underneath that. 27 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,760 And then last week we talked about the saving faith and you 28 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,320 mentioned the five things that are kind of the characteristics 29 00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:29,440 of faith. And I want to reiterate this 30 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,480 again. We're not, you know, we're not 31 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,120 trying to make it impossible for people to get saved. 32 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,720 The Bible doesn't make it impossible for people to get 33 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:37,960 saved. We're just trying to be very 34 00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:41,680 careful about making sure that we're not pushing someone into a 35 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:46,840 false profession or a false sense of salvation when 36 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:52,000 repentance and faith are not both elements of, of someone 37 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,960 accepting Christ. There's a ditch on both sides of 38 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,080 the road. You can make it so easy that all 39 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,120 you have to do is go get baptized and you're saved, or 40 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,840 you can make it so difficult that nobody could ever get saved 41 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,760 because they didn't have a change in their life or 42 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,840 something like that. So, but, but you know, 43 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:11,760 repentance is not a work. Repentance is it leads to works, 44 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,680 right? You're not saved because you 45 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,600 stopped sinning. But when you get saved, you 46 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,200 should want to stop sinning. And the Holy Spirit will help 47 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,600 you do those things. And so that's that's kind of 48 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,280 repentance and faith in a nutshell, which really is the 49 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,120 gospel in a nutshell as well. But really, First Corinthians 50 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:33,240 chapter 15 and verse 3 and 4 is, is the gospel in a nutshell. 51 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,320 There's three elements there that we'll talk about. 52 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,200 And I think it's going to take us a couple of weeks to get 53 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,280 through this. I've added a few more things 54 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,480 into this to, to give you, I think some things that'll be a 55 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,800 little bit interesting and a couple, a couple discussion 56 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,400 things that we'll go through. But here's what the Bible says 57 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,560 in First Corinthians chapter 15 and verse #3 For I delivered 58 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,320 unto you, first of all, that which I also received, how that 59 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,560 Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and 60 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,400 that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day 61 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,800 according to the Scriptures. Now, nowhere else in Scripture 62 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:11,040 is the gospel summarized that briefly, but it is a very 63 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,840 important passage. And there's a few things that go 64 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:18,640 along with this. Now, I think this is, I think 65 00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:21,040 this is very interesting. The Bible says according to the 66 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,760 Scriptures, right? When First Corinthians was 67 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,600 written, what were the Scriptures? 68 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,280 The Old Testament, right? I mean, the Old Testament was 69 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,160 the Scriptures. And so the fact now, now you 70 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:38,360 know, the Jews, especially today would say that Jesus Christ is 71 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,200 not the Messiah. You know he's not. 72 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,320 And so they don't, they don't read the New Testament Jesus. 73 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,120 They don't want anything to do with Jesus. 74 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,200 He's an imposter. You know, he was not the 75 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,960 Messiah. We're still waiting for the 76 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,600 Messiah and everything else. But very plainly here he is 77 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,800 saying that the Scriptures gave us everything we needed to know 78 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,600 about Jesus. He died, He was buried, He rose 79 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,320 again the third day according to the Scriptures. 80 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,000 I think it's very interesting. And we're going to look at a 81 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,080 bunch of those verses that talk about that in the Old Testament. 82 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,960 But a couple things here as we get into that, we need to know 83 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,080 the right gospel because it's the only way of salvation, 84 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:14,600 right? Let's go back to the verse right 85 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,640 before that by which also ye are saved. 86 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,480 Actually, let's go to verse one. Moreover, brethren, I declare 87 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,960 unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also 88 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,200 you have received, and wherein you stand, by which also ye are 89 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,640 saved, If you keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless 90 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,840 you have believed in vain. We're going to talk about that a 91 00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:36,240 little bit later as well. But we have to have the right 92 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:37,800 gospel. There's a lot of people 93 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,600 preaching a gospel, but not the right one. 94 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,760 We need to know the right gospel because Paul warned that every 95 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,600 false gospel is cursed of God. And let me get a few of you to 96 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,520 read if we can. I think what we'll do is just 97 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,640 pick one person from each row if you, if you want to raise your 98 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,040 hand. All right, when I get there. 99 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:57,960 All right, brother. Kevin, why don't you look up 100 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,880 First Corinthians? I'm sorry, Galatians, 1/6 101 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,920 through 9, Somebody on Brother Bill's row. 102 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,240 Want to read anybody? All right, Miss Diana, Mark 103 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,480 1615, all the First Corinthians verses will save because we're 104 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,000 all kind of there. All right, let's see here. 105 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:21,840 Somebody on Levi's row. Oh, Levi, you want to read? 106 00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:28,200 All right, Psalm 22. All right, the row in front of 107 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,240 that. But Gary, somebody on that row, 108 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,600 Sarah. All right, Psalm 13217. 109 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,320 We'll switch to the other side here and and start from the 110 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:41,480 back. Everybody in the back always 111 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,880 gets left out. All right, Scott, you want to 112 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,360 read? All right, Daniel 925 and 26. 113 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:59,080 Ryan, Isaiah 9/6 and seven. All right, with John Romans 323. 114 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,160 Those they're right. They're given to us. 115 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,960 The next one will be first. John 3-4 somebody on brother 116 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,480 Johnny's row want to read. All right. 117 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:15,000 Well, Johnny, all right, first John 3-4 somebody on Matt's row 118 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:20,520 want to read Matt. All right, Isaiah 53 six. 119 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,560 We'll stop there for now. We'll see how far we get. 120 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:28,080 I'll probably give you some more, but so when, when it when 121 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,720 it comes your turn to read, use the microphone, if you will. 122 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,320 That way it picks it up for everybody that's listening and 123 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,400 it just makes it easier for everybody else to hear and then 124 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,640 pass it to the person in in the row in front of you. 125 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,440 All right, very good. All right. 126 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,720 So we need to know the right gospel because Paul warned that 127 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,760 every false gospel is cursed of God. 128 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:51,680 Galatians 1/6 through 9. Hold you into the grace of 129 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,920 Christ unto another gospel, which is not another, but there 130 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,400 be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of 131 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,440 Christ. But though we or an Angel from 132 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,760 heaven preach any other gospel unto you, then that which we 133 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,360 have preached unto you, let him be accursed, as we said before. 134 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,400 So I say now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto 135 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,400 you, then that ye have received, let him be accursed. 136 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,040 OK, now that just goes to show you that even even in Paul's day 137 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,160 and Paul was, was first generation after Christ, right, 138 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,160 that there was already people who are preaching the false 139 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,760 gospel. And Paul said we've, we've 140 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,400 already given you what the gospel is. 141 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,320 If anybody comes, doesn't matter if it's us, it doesn't matter if 142 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,240 it's an Angel coming and preaching another gospel to you, 143 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,360 doesn't matter who it is. If it's a different gospel, let 144 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,440 them be accursed. That's just that's a strong 145 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,760 statement. So we need to know the right 146 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,360 gospel because every false gospel is cursed of God. 147 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,760 And we also need to know the right gospel because Jesus 148 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,040 commanded us to preach the gospel to every creature. 149 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:57,040 Mark chapter 16 and verse 15. And unto them go ye into all the 150 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,440 world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 151 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,400 OK, So if he's telling us to go and preach the gospel to every 152 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,840 creature, we better know what the gospel is, right? 153 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,320 It's important that we know what the gospel is if we're supposed 154 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,920 to be preaching it to everybody. So Paul addressed this 155 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,320 presentation of the gospel to the believers. 156 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,480 Moreover, brethren, he says there in First Corinthians 15 157 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,920 verse one, this is to the brethren. 158 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,920 So the people who are saved. And basically what that's 159 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,680 teaching us is that people who are new believers need to 160 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,880 understand what the gospel is so that they can share that with 161 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,920 others. And listen, I know if you're, if 162 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,440 you're relatively new at this, if you're, if you're a new 163 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,679 Christian and you, you get overwhelmed with the idea of how 164 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,640 can I tell somebody else how to be saved? 165 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,760 I don't even hardly know any of the Bible myself, right? 166 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,800 But tell them what happened to you, right? 167 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,800 Tell them how you got saved. Give them your testimony. 168 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,760 That's all you got to do. They may not be able to answer 169 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,040 every one of their questions, but you just do what Philip did 170 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,000 and preach unto them Jesus, right? 171 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,600 What did he do in your life? That's a good place to start. 172 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,560 But at the same time, then it's important that you, that you be 173 00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:05,320 grounded in those truths so that you can share them with other 174 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,280 people. And it also teaches us as older 175 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,640 believers that we need to learn the gospel better and better. 176 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,560 And, and I'll be honest with you, I've been saved for 35 plus 177 00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:17,160 years. I've been sharing the gospel a 178 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,840 long time. And, and even really within the 179 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,040 last couple years, I've, I've, I've found some better 180 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,280 illustrations, some way to some ways to illustrate the gospel 181 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,920 better, some ways to help get the message of the gospel across 182 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,360 a little bit more clearly. And, you know, some different 183 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,080 verses that we can go to that'll, that'll help back up 184 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,960 some of the familiar verses that we go to. 185 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,600 And, and, you know, we, we're constantly learning it at how to 186 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,120 share it better. It's not something different. 187 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,480 We're saying the same thing, just some, something that'll 188 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,200 help somebody understand it a little bit better. 189 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,080 That's the, that's the goal behind the whole thing. 190 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,560 So we'll never stop learning about the gospel. 191 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,920 So here's some important questions then that we're going 192 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,040 to answer over the over this week and next. 193 00:09:59,560 --> 00:10:03,280 Every foundational truth about the gospel is covered in this 194 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,720 passage in First Corinthians 15. So what are those things then? 195 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,960 Well, first of all, the question is, what is the gospel? 196 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,040 And there are three major parts to the gospel of Christ, and 197 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,560 they're broken down for us here in First Corinthians 15 and 198 00:10:15,560 --> 00:10:17,880 verse 3 and 4. But the first one then is that 199 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,560 Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures. 200 00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:23,680 And he says that For I delivered unto you, first of all, that 201 00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:27,240 which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins 202 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,240 according to the Scriptures. Few things to notice here. 203 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,800 Then who was it that died? Well, it was Christ. 204 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,360 Christ is the one that died. Jesus is the one that's promised 205 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:42,600 in the Old Testament. And if the Jews were not 206 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,400 willfully ignorant of this fact, they would easily be able to see 207 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,680 it. Everything that was promised 208 00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:52,560 about the Messiah was fulfilled in Jesus Christ and the Bible 209 00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:55,640 very plainly is saying that too. Christ died for our sins 210 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,840 according to the Scriptures. So here's the fulfillment of 211 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,440 those Old Testament prophecies. Couple interesting things here. 212 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,480 The name Christ is a Greek word that means anointed one, Jesus 213 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,880 Christ Jesus the anointed one. The Hebrew word Messiah means 214 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,880 the same thing, the anointed. 1 And let's look at these couple 215 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,040 passages here in Psalms. Psalm 2. 216 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,280 Two, who is that? Levi. 217 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,480 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take 218 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,760 counsel together against the Lord and against his anointed 219 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,920 saying. Against his anointed Psalm 13217 220 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,960 there will I make the horn of David to bud. 221 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,160 I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed. 222 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,760 OK, so Jesus, and there's a lot of other verses that talk about 223 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,800 this, and we're going to look into some more of these, 224 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,600 especially when you get into Psalm 22 and when you start 225 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,240 getting into some of these other different passages. 226 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,960 There should be another microphone back there, Is there? 227 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,400 Yeah, He's got it. Brother Ryan, you just leave it 228 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,600 there on that seat. And if we need to keep passing 229 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,080 it forward, then we will. No, it's my fault. 230 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,320 I should have said that. But the prophets said that the 231 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,600 Messiah would come to the earth the first time to be cut off or 232 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,680 die for man's sins. Daniel. 233 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,640 OK Daniel Chapter 9, verse 25 and 26. 234 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,680 Or an understand that from the going forth of the commandment 235 00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:20,520 to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah, the 236 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,920 Prince shall be 7 weeks and three score and two weeks the 237 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,760 street shall be built again in the wall, even in troublous 238 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,080 times. And after three score and two 239 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,160 weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself. 240 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,920 And the people of the Prince that shall come, she'll destroy 241 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,920 the city and the sanctuary, and the end thereof shall be with 242 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,120 the flood. And unto the end of the war 243 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,680 desolations are determined. OK, You know, the, the 244 00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:50,880 interesting thing is and, and those who are missionaries, if 245 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,880 you will, to the Jewish people, there's some who are 246 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:57,000 missionaries in Israel. There are some, I mean, there's, 247 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,920 there's pockets of Jews everywhere. 248 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,200 There's a huge pocket of Jews in New York City. 249 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,560 So I know that, I know several missionaries that are 250 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:09,840 missionaries to the Jews there. You can't, you cannot go through 251 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,800 John and Romans and 1st Corinthians. 252 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,280 You can't go through those books with them. 253 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,160 They don't believe it, right? And you can show them all the 254 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,440 verses you want to about the Messiah and everything else. 255 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,640 They're not going to accept it because they don't believe the 256 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,320 New Testament. They don't believe that Jesus 257 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,760 was the Messiah. But there are so many verses in 258 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,560 the Old Testament that talk about that. 259 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,920 And those who are missionaries to the Jewish people are much 260 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:36,000 better at it in in sharing those verses and and pointing those 261 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,000 verses out. But there are so many verses in 262 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,400 the Old Testament that talk about the Messiah coming. 263 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,560 And all of those things are all things that were prophesied 264 00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:47,800 about the Messiah and every one of them was fulfilled in Christ. 265 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,320 Daniel would not necessarily be one that you would think of that 266 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:55,360 would be prophesying about the Messiah, but he is and he did. 267 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,560 And not only does Daniel say that the Messiah would be cut 268 00:13:59,560 --> 00:14:02,960 off, that he would die for man's sins, but that he would come 269 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,000 against a rule on the throne of David and to establish the 270 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,120 Kingdom of God on the earth. And we find that in Isaiah 271 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:14,040 Chapter 9 verse 6 and 7. To us a child is born, unto us a 272 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,800 son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and 273 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,480 his name shall be called. Wonderful Counselor, the mighty 274 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:28,000 God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, of the increase 275 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,760 of His government and peace, there shall be no end upon the 276 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:37,280 throne of David and upon his Kingdom, to order it and to 277 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,000 establish it with judgment and with justice. 278 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:45,000 From henceforth, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts 279 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,440 will perform this. OK, now we always read Isaiah 96 280 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,160 around Christmas, don't we? Government wonderful counselor, 281 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,320 mighty God, everlasting father, Prince of Peace. 282 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,720 Oh, what a wonderful verse about the Messiah. 283 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,920 But you continue on with that and basically says, hey, his 284 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,880 Kingdom is never going to end. It's eternal. 285 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,000 Well, he's not talking about David, right? 286 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,040 David died just like he's like every other man who there's 287 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,960 nobody else that he could be talking about other than the 288 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:15,040 Messiah, than Jesus Christ. So we noticed who died. 289 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,680 It was Christ, but then also why Christ died. 290 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,960 And here we go all the way back to the idea of repentance. 291 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:24,280 Again, this is absolutely necessary as a part of salvation 292 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,760 because all men are sinners. Romans 323. 293 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,080 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. 294 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:37,960 OK, so when Adam disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden, that he 295 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,840 became a Sinner and all of his children inherited that fallen 296 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,400 nature. And we read that in Romans 297 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,080 chapter 5 and verse 12. Wherefore as by one man sin 298 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,720 entered into the world and death by sin. 299 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,560 And so death passed upon all men for that all have sinned. 300 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,920 Adam sinned in the garden that passed that sin nature that that 301 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,120 that fallen nature unto us. And so we're sinners by nature's 302 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:00,840 no, nobody has to teach us how to sin. 303 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,840 And I know that we've, you know, we've said that many times. 304 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,640 You know, you don't teach a kid how to lie, right? 305 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,000 You don't have to teach them how to steal. 306 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,840 You don't have to teach them how to disobey. 307 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,720 They just naturally do that, right? 308 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,360 No, nobody's ever sat their kids down and taught them. 309 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,760 Now this is what lying is. Here's how you do it, right? 310 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,880 It's like they come out of the womb knowing how to tell a lie, 311 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,120 right? Even the baby's screaming and 312 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,080 crying, Oh, I'm dying. You pick them up and they're 313 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,000 like, oh, thank you, nothing was wrong with me. 314 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,160 I just wanted you to pick me up, right? 315 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,280 But you don't have to teach that to kids. 316 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,440 You have to, you have to teach them not to do those things 317 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,080 because we all have that fallen nature. 318 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,520 The Bible says this and you have them right there. 319 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:38,880 So we're not going to turn to them. 320 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,440 But Psalm 58, three, the wicked are estranged from the womb. 321 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,000 They go astray as soon as they be born. 322 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaking lies, the fallen human heart is full of sin and deceit. 323 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,040 We have Jeremiah 17 and verse 9. The heart is deceitful above all 324 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,760 things and desperately wicked. Who can know it, which is why 325 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,560 you know, it's such a lie of the devil. 326 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,880 What you hear today, just follow your heart, right? 327 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,960 No, don't follow your heart. Your heart's deceitful. 328 00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:11,480 It's desperately wicked. You follow your heart, you're 329 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,760 going to find yourself in a place you don't want to be, 330 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:15,480 right? Don't follow your heart. 331 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,240 Follow God, follow the Lord, follow God's word. 332 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,920 So to sin is to break God's law. And we find that in first John 333 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,040 3/4. Is that you? 334 00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:29,960 OK, He's got the microphone for you there First. 335 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,360 John 3/4. First, John 3/4 Whosoever 336 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,480 transgressed the law. Also, I'm sorry, who commit? 337 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,480 Whosoever commits to sin transgressed to the law, for sin 338 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,360 is a transgression of the law. OK, so whosoever transgresseth 339 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,800 the law, transgresseth means to break, right? 340 00:17:48,120 --> 00:17:50,440 You break the law, you've committed a sin. 341 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,800 For sin is the breaking or the transgression of the law. 342 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,280 That's what a sin is, right? What are the laws? 343 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,840 Well, we've got a lot of commands in God's Word. 344 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,200 I think there's something like 1090 commands in the Bible, 345 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,240 right? The most well known of them are 346 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:09,000 the 10 commandments. And the easiest one of them is 347 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,760 thou shalt not bear false witness. 348 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:15,120 Thou shalt not lie, right? Everybody's total lie in their 349 00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:16,120 life. So there you go. 350 00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:17,560 You've broken the 10 commandments. 351 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,440 Well, what about, well, I've never murdered anybody. 352 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,800 Well, what did Jesus say in the New Testament when he, when he 353 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,040 got into the Sermon on the Mount? 354 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,720 You have hate in your heart toward a brother, You might as 355 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,160 well murdered him, right? You're guilty of murder. 356 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,320 What about? Well, I've never, at least I've 357 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,520 never committed adultery, Right? Well, what did he say about 358 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,640 that? Whosoever looketh on a woman to 359 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,600 lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his 360 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,280 heart. So most everybody has broken all 361 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,160 of the 10 commandments, not just one or two of them, right? 362 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,600 We've all, we're all guilty of it. 363 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,360 James, chapter 2 and verse 10. What does it say? 364 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,040 Fear thou shalt keep the whole law, but offended. 365 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:57,520 Close. Yeah. 366 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:02,240 Whosoever shall keep the whole law and yet offended one point 367 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:07,600 is guilty of all right. It's like it's like somebody 368 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:15,720 that that robs a bank and you stand before the judge and he 369 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,400 tells the judge, well, I haven't done anything else. 370 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,560 I mean, I just robbed one person, right? 371 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,240 And was the judge going to say, sorry, that's all it takes for 372 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,120 you to go to jail? It's not like you have to have 373 00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:29,280 10 charges for you to go to jail. 374 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,720 One, that's all it takes. And that's exactly what he's 375 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,400 saying. You can keep the entire law. 376 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,680 You can keep everything. Break one law and you're guilty 377 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,600 of all of it. You can't enter heaven because 378 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,080 of that, right? So to sin is to break God's law. 379 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,240 Sin is to turn away from God to our own way. 380 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,960 Isaiah 53, six. Yep. 36 All we, like sheep, have 381 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,280 gone astray. We have turned everyone to his 382 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,400 own way, and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 383 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,800 Yep, all we like sheep, have gone astray. 384 00:19:59,120 --> 00:20:01,080 We've turned everyone to his own way. 385 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,960 And what does the Bible say? The Lord hath laid on him the 386 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,280 iniquity of us all, because we are sinners, right? 387 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,800 If we never sinned, Jesus Christ never would have had to die. 388 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:17,400 But because we're sinners, He had to so in God's eyes, because 389 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,040 their holy eyes. All men are terrible sinners. 390 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,360 That's what made Christ have to die in the cross. 391 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,560 God never would have had to send his only begotten son to die if 392 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,840 it wasn't for my sin. And there's a lot of sins that 393 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,880 are described there in Romans chapter 3, verse 9 through 18. 394 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,840 Fact. Keep, keep your finger there in 395 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,920 first Corinthians 15. Let's, let's just it's pretty 396 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:40,280 close. Let's go back and look at it. 397 00:20:45,770 --> 00:20:53,120 Romans chapter 3, verse 9. What then? 398 00:20:53,120 --> 00:20:55,480 Are we better than they? No, and no wise. 399 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,200 For we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are 400 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,120 all under sin. As it is written. 401 00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:04,000 There is none righteous, No, not one. 402 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:05,560 There is none. That's that. 403 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,440 Understand that there's none that seeketh after God. 404 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,280 They're all gone out of the way. They are together, become 405 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,680 unprofitable. There's none that doeth good, 406 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,160 No, not one. Their throat is an open 407 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:16,960 sepulchre. With their tongues they have 408 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,360 used deceit. The poison of ASPs is under 409 00:21:20,360 --> 00:21:23,480 their lips, whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. 410 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,440 Their feet are swift to shed blood. 411 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,520 Destruction and misery are in their ways and the way of peace. 412 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,080 Have they not known? There is No Fear of God before 413 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,920 their eyes. And the list just keeps going of 414 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,560 things that he that he lists of things in ways that we've broken 415 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,440 the law, right? We've all broken God's law. 416 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,080 No person can be saved unless he acknowledges that he's a Sinner 417 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,800 the exact way that the Bible says that he is. 418 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,120 Man's sinful condition is an essential teaching of the 419 00:21:51,120 --> 00:21:53,320 gospel, and that's where repentance is necessary. 420 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:58,560 And I'll say this too, humility is essential to come into 421 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,840 Christ, right? Somebody, somebody who's trying 422 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,360 to convince themselves that they're good enough or has done 423 00:22:04,360 --> 00:22:08,600 enough is not saved, cannot be saved, right? 424 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:14,440 Because until you see yourself as a, as a horrible Sinner in 425 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,360 God's eyes, you cannot, you cannot be saved. 426 00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:20,200 That humility is absolutely necessary as part of that. 427 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,000 And there's so many people who have this mindset that, well, 428 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,080 I'm not that bad, right? That's, that's a lack of 429 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:27,920 humility. It's the pride that's coming up 430 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,480 in US. No, you may not be that bad 431 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,920 compared to somebody else, but compare yourself to the holiness 432 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,360 of God and see where you line up right? 433 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,440 Compared to the holiness of God, we are that bad, right? 434 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,200 The Bible says we are together, become unprofitable. 435 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:47,320 There is none that do with good. No, not one even in Isaiah says 436 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,280 that even our righteousnesses are as filthy rags. 437 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,280 Even the good things that we do compared to the goodness and the 438 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,280 holiness of God is just, it falls so short. 439 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:02,040 So it's absolutely necessary for us to understand that Christ 440 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,560 died for our sins because all men are sinners. 441 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,960 But then also the Bible says that every sin will be punished. 442 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,440 And let's, let's have a few more people read here. 443 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,440 Somebody on Doc's row. Doc, you want to read James 29 444 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,520 and 10. Somebody in the front row want 445 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:25,800 to read Alex. Let's do Ecclesiastes 12/14. 446 00:23:32,550 --> 00:23:36,870 I think that's good for those Romans 623. 447 00:23:37,070 --> 00:23:38,990 Andrew, looks like you're on a row by yourself. 448 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:45,000 Romans 623. And then we'll read Revelation 449 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,760 2011 through 15 together. Somebody want to read on the on 450 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,440 the 2nd row. All right. 451 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,240 Oh, you can fight it out with Hannah. 452 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,800 All right, Hannah, 2nd Corinthians 521. 453 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,400 And then we'll see where that puts us. 454 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,000 There you go. All right. 455 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,160 OK, so the Bible says that every sin will be punished. 456 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:11,760 James 29 and 10. James 29 and 10. 457 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:17,000 But if you have respect to persons, you commit sin, and are 458 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,160 convinced of the law as transgressors. 459 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,280 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offended one 460 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,840 point, he is guilty of all. OK, so the Bible says that every 461 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,160 sin will be punished, every secret thing will be judged. 462 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:35,080 Let's try Ecclesiastes 12/14 For God shall bring every work into 463 00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:37,040 judgment. With every secret thing, whether 464 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,120 it be good or whether it be evil, every secret thing is 465 00:24:40,120 --> 00:24:43,480 going to be found out. First Corinthians 4-5 Therefore 466 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,200 judge nothing before the time until the Lord come, who both 467 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,200 will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will 468 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,920 make manifest the counsels of the hearts, and then every man. 469 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,520 Then shall every man have praise of God. 470 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,560 Everything that's hidden, everything that we think is 471 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,760 hidden, I should say, is going to be made, is going to be 472 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,760 brought to light. So the punishment then is death. 473 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:11,320 Romans 623. But the gift of God is eternal 474 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:12,400 life through Jesus Christ our Lord. 475 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,560 OK, wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life 476 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,080 through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let's all turn to Revelation 20 477 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,600 now. Again, most of you in here are 478 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,320 are saved. I'm not I'm not giving you the 479 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,000 gospel tonight. I'm giving you verses and some 480 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,200 things. And this is what that's the 481 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,200 whole point of what we're doing for you to help lead somebody 482 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,240 else to Christ. And it's absolutely necessary 483 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,480 that you understand that you've got to make people understand 484 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,960 that they are a Sinner, right? It's, it's not, it's, it's not 485 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,560 the comfortable part of it. You don't want to tell people 486 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,280 that they're wrong. You don't want to tell people 487 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,200 that they're a Sinner and that they're on their way to hell. 488 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,440 But it's exactly like what I said at the at Brother Todd's 489 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,000 funeral the other day. I would rather hurt you with the 490 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,840 truth than comfort you with a lie, right? 491 00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:08,080 To know that you're a Sinner is absolutely essential to coming 492 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,320 to the realization that you need to repent and turn to Christ. 493 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,960 But if I just tell you, well, yeah, I mean, you're not that 494 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,320 bad. I know compared to a lot of 495 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:17,400 other people, you're not that bad. 496 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,360 But you know, Jesus died on the cross because he loved you so 497 00:26:20,360 --> 00:26:22,800 much and he wants to take you to heaven when you die. 498 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,200 You don't mention anything about about sin. 499 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,440 And that person just continues on in that same direction after 500 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,720 they get saved. They didn't get saved. 501 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,360 Sin absolutely has to be brought into the equation. 502 00:26:33,360 --> 00:26:36,640 So this is this is part of the gospel, right? 503 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,520 That he, Christ died for our sins according to the 504 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,800 Scriptures. It's, it's the reason he died. 505 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,920 So Revelation 20, verse 11. And I saw a great white throne 506 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,320 in him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the 507 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,800 heaven fled away, and there was found no place for them. 508 00:26:54,120 --> 00:26:59,600 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God. 509 00:27:00,120 --> 00:27:02,680 And the books were opened, and another book was opened, which 510 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,960 is the book of life. And the dead were judged out of 511 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,800 those things which were written in the books according to their 512 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,840 works. And the sea gave up the dead 513 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,760 which were in it. And death and hell delivered up 514 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,320 the dead which were in them. And they were judged every man 515 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,560 according to their works. And death and hell were cast 516 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,680 into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 517 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:26,360 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was 518 00:27:26,360 --> 00:27:29,800 cast into the lake of fire. And that's, that's the 519 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,240 punishment. I mean, it's, it's, it's not 520 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:36,000 the, the fun part of it. You know, obviously it's 521 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,000 wonderful to talk about heaven and everything that heaven has 522 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,800 not as not as wonderful to talk about hell. 523 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,600 But we absolutely have to if we're going to bring somebody to 524 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,560 that realization that their sin is going to be punished unless 525 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,520 they get it covered under the blood of Christ. 526 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,400 So the Bible says that every sin will be punished. 527 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,840 The good news of the gospel is that Christ died for our sins. 528 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,400 He is the sinless Son of God, and he didn't deserve to die. 529 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,840 He died in our place. He took our punishment. 530 00:28:03,120 --> 00:28:07,680 Salvation is an exchange. Christ is the Sinner substitute. 531 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,520 When we believe on Christ, he takes our sin, we take his 532 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,960 righteousness. That's such an amazing thing, 533 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,120 the substitutionary atonement of Jesus Christ. 534 00:28:16,120 --> 00:28:18,680 That's what, that's a long word, but that's what that means, the 535 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,000 substitutionary atonement. He was my substitute. 536 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,280 He took my place, I gave him my sin, he gave me his 537 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,440 righteousness. What a what a bad deal for him, 538 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,840 but what a great deal for us, right? 539 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,760 I gave him my sin and he gave me his righteousness. 540 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,040 That's the illustration that I use often of, of, of the list of 541 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,960 all the sins that we have. And then the blood of Jesus 542 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,600 Christ is covering those sins, right? 543 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,440 That's that's the only way that we're going to be able to stand 544 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,760 before God. Somebody dying. 545 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:55,480 Oh, there you go. So, all right, so Second 546 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,280 Corinthians chapter 5 and verse 21. 547 00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:58,920 Did I give that to somebody? OK. 548 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,480 For he who, for he made him, He knew no sin to be sin for us, 549 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,440 that we might become the righteousness of God in him. 550 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:11,800 OK, for he made him to be sin for us who knew no sin that we 551 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,400 might be made the righteousness of God in him. 552 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:20,400 That is, that's a, that's a powerful, powerful position. 553 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,960 And it's only possible because of this substitutionary 554 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,240 atonement of Jesus Christ. The atonement was the blood that 555 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:30,760 was shed for us. All right? 556 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,440 And that's the other thing that, that the people, a lot of 557 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,800 people, oh, it's just, it's gory blood and all this stuff. 558 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,560 It is, it was a gory death, right? 559 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:43,440 But he did that for me. He did it for you because I am a 560 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,280 Sinner and you're a Sinner. And we needed somebody to, to do 561 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,280 that for us. And Jesus was the one that was 562 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:52,280 willing to do it. So to be saved, the individual 563 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,720 must see himself as a wicked Sinner before God who is 564 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,000 deserving of eternal condemnation. 565 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,320 Nobody can be saved apart from that, if the person still thinks 566 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,720 of himself as basically a good person, he cannot be saved, 567 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,440 right? You might do some good things, 568 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,000 but we're not good people. Even our righteousness is the 569 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,320 Bible said our filthy ranks. A pastor friend was on soul 570 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,680 winning visitation in California with a veteran missionary one 571 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,040 Saturday when a Roman Catholic man answered the door on it. 572 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,040 In a few minutes, the missionary showed the man. 573 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,280 The Romans Rd. led the man in the sinner's prayer and while he 574 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,280 was filling out the church report and getting the man's 575 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,640 information so he can report him as saved, my pastor friend asked 576 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,000 the man whether he believed he was a good person and whether 577 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,480 believe he believed that it's possible for a person to go to 578 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,720 heaven by being a good person. The man answered yes. 579 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:40,520 It's obvious that that man was not ready to get saved, and it's 580 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,120 criminal to lead people in a sinner's prayer when they don't 581 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,480 understand or don't agree with the basic truth of the Gospel. 582 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,200 And again, where this is not a salesman technique, right? 583 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,000 We're not trying to get somebody to buy life insurance. 584 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,120 We're we're trying to help them understand that they need to 585 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,440 accept Christ as their Savior before it's too late. 586 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,480 But I'm not trying to trick them into buying salvation or even 587 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,960 getting salvation for free, right? 588 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,200 I'm trying to help them understand why they need that 589 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:12,440 salvation, why they need Christ, and for me to just get somebody 590 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,600 from point A to point B shake their hand and and sign their 591 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,400 name so that we can say that we let another person to Christ. 592 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,160 It's exactly what he said. It's criminal. 593 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,680 You're sending people to hell because they're walking away 594 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,320 with an assurance of salvation when they didn't even get saved 595 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,560 because they did not address their sin. 596 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,440 They didn't address the sin nature. 597 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,240 They didn't address the fact that they needed a Savior 598 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,640 because they are a Sinner. Just believing in Christ and 599 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,560 just believing that he died and rose again is not. 600 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,480 That's the faith side of it. There has to be the repentance 601 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,600 side of it as well. So a major goal of so winning is 602 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,880 to help people see that they are lost sinners. 603 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,240 And many times, and I've told my wife this often when I've, when 604 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,600 I've talked to somebody, you've got to get somebody lost before 605 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,880 you can get them saved, right? Many times that's the case. 606 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,800 People have got to understand that they're lost before they 607 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,400 can be saved if they think of themselves as well. 608 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,800 I'm a pretty good person and I think I've got a pretty good 609 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,920 chance of getting to heaven. They don't because they don't 610 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,400 see themselves as lost. They don't see themselves as a 611 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,240 Sinner that's deserving the punishment for their sin. 612 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,200 So many times you have to get somebody lost before you can get 613 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,720 them saved. But when they see themselves in 614 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,160 that condition, they'll realize very, very easily that they need 615 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,320 Christ. So we have to take the time to 616 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,440 explain what sin is according to God's definition, because most 617 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,480 people think of sin as either something small. 618 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,400 And here's a few examples that he gives. 619 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,640 I've talked to people in, in all of these situations, A Buddhist 620 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,760 who thinks that sin is stepping on an Ant or some is, you know, 621 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,080 big things like murder. As long as I haven't murdered 622 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,360 somebody, I mean, certainly I'm not as bad as that guy and 623 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:49,960 certainly God's going to let me into heaven. 624 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:55,400 I haven't killed anybody, right? And it's, it's this idea of good 625 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,600 works on one side, bad works on the other side. 626 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,040 And as long as your good works outweigh your bad works is going 627 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,960 to let you in. And as long as you don't have 628 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:06,280 anything heavy like murder or adultery or those kind of 629 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,480 things, then then God's going to let you into heaven, right? 630 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:13,440 That's not the way it works. You put one sin on there. 631 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,160 It's enough to tip the whole balance, the opposite direction, 632 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:21,000 and all of your good works cannot do anything against one 633 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,000 sin. That's what people have to 634 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,640 understand. And we've all, most of you have 635 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,240 come to that conclusion yourselves. 636 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,240 But Hindus typically think of sin only in those terms, big 637 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:32,680 things. They'll admit that they're 638 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:36,000 sinners in a vague way, but typically they don't mean by 639 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,520 this that they're completely unrighteous before God, that 640 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,920 they're not good, and if they're deserving of God's judgment. 641 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,960 Of course, Brother Cloud is the one who put this together. 642 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,520 He deals with the, the Hindus all the time. 643 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,920 And that's exactly what it is. It's, it's this idea that I'm 644 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,440 not that bad. Well, you are that bad in God's 645 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:54,320 eyes. You are. 646 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,160 So I must look to the Holy Spirit to accomplish the 647 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,760 supernatural work of bringing conviction to the heart of the 648 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,280 Sinner and making him guilty before God. 649 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,560 John chapter 16 and verse 8. I don't think I had anybody look 650 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:10,120 at that one, did I? All right, somebody want to look 651 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:11,120 it up? We'll just, we only have a 652 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:12,639 couple left. So somebody just want to all 653 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,280 right, Charlie, you can look it up. 654 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:19,800 Look up John 16 and verse 8, and then I'll get a couple more 655 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,360 people to read. Just raise your hand if you'd 656 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:22,880 like to, if you haven't done it yet. 657 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,840 Anybody all right, Trey? Psalm 2214 through 16. 658 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:36,679 Jackson, John 1916 through 18. We'll finish. 659 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,159 We'll finish this, this point out. 660 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,280 Psalm 2218. Somebody all right? 661 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:48,000 Riley Matthew 2735 But Gary, Miss Cindy. 662 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:56,400 All right, whoever's who did I just give Psalm 2218 to? 663 00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,080 To who? OK, I'm going to give you a 664 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,640 different 1. Matthew 2746. 665 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:08,120 John 1928 Anybody. Miss Cindy, did I give you that 666 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,240 one? What did I give you, Brother? 667 00:35:10,240 --> 00:35:17,360 Gary. OK, who's got Matthew 2735? 668 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,640 That's the one you had. OK. 669 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:22,720 So Miss Cindy. Matthew 2746. 670 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,640 John 1928. All right, Rebecca. 671 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:42,440 Matthew 2739 and 41 through 43, Lydia and then Matthew 2736. 672 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,920 I know it's putting a lot of you in the same passage, but all 673 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,400 right, Daniel, Matthew 2736. All right. 674 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,200 And then let me have everybody turn over to Psalm 22. 675 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,400 Psalm 22. Basically what we're going to 676 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,720 look at here is the prophecy and the fulfillment of that prophecy 677 00:35:58,720 --> 00:36:03,760 all in Jesus Christ. So to, to, to just take a quick 678 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,360 step back, we're talking about what is the gospel in the first 679 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,920 part of that is that Christ died for our sins according to the 680 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,120 Scriptures. Not only did he die for our 681 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,160 sins, but according to the scriptures. 682 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:17,680 So it was Christ that died. He died for our sins and he died 683 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,120 according to the scriptures. And that refers to the amazing 684 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:26,800 prophecies that the Bible describes about his death and in 685 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:31,080 great detail it describes it. And really, Psalm 22 is, is by 686 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:35,360 far the most prophetic chapter in the Old Testament. 687 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:40,440 But there's many, many places that mention these things. 688 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:44,440 But #1 the Scripture prophesied that Jesus would die by 689 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,760 crucifixion. And let's all look at Psalm 22 690 00:36:48,240 --> 00:36:52,280 verse #14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out 691 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,520 of joint. My heart is like wax. 692 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,520 It is melted in the midst of my bowels. 693 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,120 My strength is dried up like a pot shirt, and my tongue 694 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,200 cleaveth to my jaws. And Thou has brought me into the 695 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:07,000 dust of death, for dogs have compassed me, the assembly of 696 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,520 the wicked have enclosed me. They pierced my hands and my 697 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:14,600 feet. Let's have somebody read John 698 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:24,540 1916 through 18 Jesus, and let him away. 699 00:37:24,740 --> 00:37:27,580 And he bearing His cross, went forth into a place called the 700 00:37:27,580 --> 00:37:30,340 place of His skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha, 701 00:37:30,660 --> 00:37:33,340 where they crucified him and two other with him on either side, 702 00:37:33,340 --> 00:37:37,080 one and Jesus in the midst. OK, now here's the interesting 703 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,200 thing. What did, what's being described 704 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,960 there in 1415 and 16 in Psalm 22 is a crucifixion. 705 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:49,040 But this was before crucifixion had even been invented, when 706 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,440 David wrote this. Don't even know if David knew 707 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,480 what he was writing about when he wrote it, but he was writing 708 00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,440 under the inspiration of God, right? 709 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:01,320 God gave him the words to write and he wrote these things and 710 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,360 then it was brought to pass in, in John chapter 19. 711 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,920 It was only practiced in the Roman Empire. 712 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,440 It was written 1000 years before Christ came. 713 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,520 And that's what they would do. They would nail their hands and 714 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,960 their feet to the cross. And that's exactly what happened 715 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:17,560 with Jesus. And we know that he said put 716 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,640 your fingers in my hands, Put your fingers, you know, put your 717 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:25,840 thrust your hand into my side. See He told Thomas that that he 718 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:29,000 had hands in his in his feet and in his and I mean nail, nail 719 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,960 prints in his hands and in his feet because of that. 720 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,360 And there was it was all prophesied in Psalm 22. 721 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,960 The scripture also prophesied. This is going on to the next 722 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:42,280 page page 22 that the soldiers would gamble for Jesus robe at 723 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,960 the foot of the cross. Verse 18 of Psalm 22. 724 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:49,920 They part my garments among them and cast lots upon my vesture. 725 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,800 The soldiers did that while Jesus was still on the cross, 726 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:59,080 while he was still suffering. Matthew 2735. 727 00:39:12,500 --> 00:39:16,100 OK, So what we're saying here, what what the Bible is saying 728 00:39:16,100 --> 00:39:19,100 there is it's referring back to this passage. 729 00:39:19,300 --> 00:39:23,060 So you know that this passage is not talking about just David or 730 00:39:23,060 --> 00:39:25,260 it's not just David talking about himself. 731 00:39:25,860 --> 00:39:30,720 He said as was prophesied, right, which is very, very 732 00:39:30,720 --> 00:39:33,480 interesting. Matthew 27 is mostly where we're 733 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,240 at with these fulfillment of the prophecies. 734 00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:37,840 But we know that Matthew, Mark, Luke and John all talk about 735 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:43,000 those things just centers there in Matthew because obviously you 736 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:44,520 could jump around. You can put you can do it on 737 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,520 just about every book. Not every book mentions 738 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,720 everything, but we're just looking at Matthew here. 739 00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:53,080 But all of them would would mention these things as well. 740 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,800 But also then the Scripture prophesied the words that Jesus 741 00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,560 spoke from the cross, Psalm 22 and verse number one. 742 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,880 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 743 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,360 Why aren't there all so far from helping me and from the words of 744 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:26,640 my roaring Matthew 2746? Right, the Scriptures also 745 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:28,600 prophesied that Jesus would thirst. 746 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:32,240 Verse 15 we read this, my strength is dried up like a pot 747 00:40:32,240 --> 00:40:36,800 shirt, and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws, and thou hast brought 748 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:41,840 me into the dust of death. John chapter 19 and verse 28. 749 00:40:42,720 --> 00:40:45,080 After this Jesus, knowing that all things were now 750 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,880 accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, sayeth I 751 00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,480 thirst. OK, The Scripture prophesied 752 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:55,760 that people would mock him. Verse 6 But I am a worm and no 753 00:40:55,760 --> 00:41:00,200 man, a reproach of men, and despised of the people all day 754 00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,680 that see me laugh me to scorn. They shoot out the lip, they 755 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,240 shake the head, saying He trusted on the Lord that he 756 00:41:06,240 --> 00:41:09,480 would deliver him, let him deliver him, seeing he delighted 757 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,360 in him. All right, let's look at this 758 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,760 one. Matthew 2739 and then 41 through 759 00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:44,080 43. OK, they mocked him and almost, 760 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:47,920 almost the exact phrases and the exact quotes that are being used 761 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,800 there. It's a definite fulfillment of 762 00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,120 the prophecy there. And then also the Scripture 763 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:54,920 prophesied that people would sit and stare at him. 764 00:41:54,920 --> 00:42:00,800 Verse 17, I may tell all my bones, they look and stare upon 765 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,560 me. Matthew 2736. 766 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:13,040 Who has that one? OK, yeah, that's one. 767 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,720 John talks about the exact same thing. 768 00:42:15,720 --> 00:42:18,200 They just they they sat there and stared at him. 769 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,800 All of these things are prophecies that were fulfilled. 770 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:22,480 I think I forgot Charlie, didn't I? 771 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:24,920 You have John 16-8. We need a microphone. 772 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:26,720 Let's get these passed around. Who's got them? 773 00:42:26,720 --> 00:42:29,480 All right. Yeah, give him that one. 774 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:38,480 There we go, John, 16/8. And he is come He will reprove 775 00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:44,120 the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment. 776 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,480 OK, so that goes back to what we talked about before. 777 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,760 All of this has to be a work that the Holy Spirit does, 778 00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,040 right? The Holy Spirit convicts us and 779 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,560 and by the way, that's the only thing that the Holy Spirit does 780 00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,440 for somebody that's not saved. There is no comfort of the Holy 781 00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,440 Spirit. There is no leading you in 782 00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,480 guiding you in your life if you're not saved. 783 00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,080 The Holy Spirit does one thing in the life of somebody that's 784 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,400 not saved and that's to convict them of their need for Christ. 785 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,960 That's it, that's it. He does a lot of things for 786 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,920 those who are saved. But when he comes, the Bible 787 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,640 says he'll reprove the world of sin and of righteousness and of 788 00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,240 judgment. And that's exactly what the Holy 789 00:43:19,240 --> 00:43:20,960 Spirit does for somebody who is not saved. 790 00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,000 So we're going to stop there for tonight. 791 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:27,440 But the three major parts to the gospel of Christ, he died for 792 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:28,960 our sins according to the Scriptures. 793 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:34,160 And of course, that's a huge part of, of why of the gospel 794 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,480 that he died because I'm a Sinner. 795 00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,960 If I had never sinned, Jesus never would have had to die. 796 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:43,520 He died. It was Christ. 797 00:43:43,720 --> 00:43:46,760 Why did he die for my sins? And he died according to the 798 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:50,560 Scriptures, everything that happened in the story of the 799 00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:54,200 crucifixion. And by the way, all the, all the 800 00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,480 accounts in the Gospel all line up and match each other. 801 00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:01,600 They're complementary to each other, but not only that, they 802 00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:03,640 were all fulfillment of prophecy. 803 00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,080 So we'll talk about his burial and his resurrection and then a 804 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,600 few other things next week. I've got some things to add to 805 00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:13,240 it that I think will be an interesting study, but I don't 806 00:44:13,240 --> 00:44:16,720 want to get into it tonight. Otherwise we'll be here for a 807 00:44:16,720 --> 00:44:21,200 while longer. So we'll stop there and have a 808 00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:22,800 word of prayer and then we'll be done. 809 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,240 Let's pray. Father, again, we thank you so 810 00:44:24,240 --> 00:44:26,480 much for your goodness to us. Thank you for the opportunity we 811 00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:28,920 have to be here tonight. And God, I do pray that you 812 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,600 would give us the opportunity to put this into practice and and 813 00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,680 lead folks to Christ. And I pray that you to give us 814 00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:36,880 the boldness to do that. The time is short. 815 00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,160 We don't know when you're coming back, but it sure seems like 816 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,240 it'll be soon. And I pray that will be God as 817 00:44:42,240 --> 00:44:44,800 as John said at the very end of Revelation. 818 00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:48,520 Even so, come Lord Jesus, I pray that you would and God, I pray 819 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:52,000 that it would be be soon. But what's the time that we have 820 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:53,240 left? I pray that you'd help us to be 821 00:44:53,240 --> 00:44:57,240 bold witnesses for you and that we'd share the gospel with every 822 00:44:57,240 --> 00:44:59,560 opportunity that we have. Thank you again for all you do 823 00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,360 for us in Jesus name, Amen. Let's stand. 824 00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:03,440 We'll close in our.
