1
00:00:04,500 --> 00:00:09,100
This Bible study tonight is 
filled with good news. 

2
00:00:10,300 --> 00:00:13,400
And I'm excited to see that with
you in this chapter. 

3
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,000
So if you're not with us on a 
regular basis, we are in the 

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,400
book of second, Samuel and we 
have been studying, it chapter 

5
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,200
by chapter verse by verse. 
So tonight we are actually in 

6
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:26,100
chapter, Which chapter Eight and
nine so you're both kind of 

7
00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:31,100
right but let's start in chapter
9 second, Samuel chapter 9. 

8
00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:38,400
This is a meaningful text for 
many reasons, but it is 

9
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,300
especially remarkable for the 
New Covenant Christian. 

10
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:48,300
And the main reason for that is 
because in my personal opinion, 

11
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,700
this is perhaps one of the most 
powerful Old Testament 

12
00:00:52,700 --> 00:00:58,200
illustrations in the life of 
David that portrays the message 

13
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,200
of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 
And it's and its fullness, like 

14
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,099
not just little hints here and 
there, but from beginning to 

15
00:01:05,099 --> 00:01:08,900
end, you just see this 
consistent thread of the Gospel 

16
00:01:08,900 --> 00:01:11,800
of Jesus, in this moment of 
David's life. 

17
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,300
And if you were to just have a 
quick read of the verses without

18
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,300
Haitian. 
Even it would be very easy to 

19
00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:25,700
discover themes that you and I 
enjoy in our Salvation in 

20
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:27,400
Christ. 
And you will see that. 

21
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:32,000
As we read through this text, 
the framework for that is 

22
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,100
David's interaction with a man 
by the name of what Yes, method 

23
00:01:37,100 --> 00:01:39,200
bichette. 
I'm going to try to say that 

24
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,500
name because I'm going to say it
a lot without my tongue twisting

25
00:01:42,500 --> 00:01:46,800
so please show Mercy to me. 
That is a framework in which 

26
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,100
we're going to see the wonderful
realizations of the Gospel. 

27
00:01:51,100 --> 00:01:54,100
Exhibited. 
But before we go there, you 

28
00:01:54,100 --> 00:02:00,500
know, that last week, we came to
second, Samuel chapter 8, and we

29
00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:06,600
looked at David's summary of the
campaign's that he had in war 

30
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,900
and we stopped at a particular 
point. 

31
00:02:10,900 --> 00:02:16,000
And we're going to revisit those
verses because it will flow 

32
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,600
wonderfully into the main theme 
of The Gospel of chapter 9. 

33
00:02:19,300 --> 00:02:21,800
And so before we start in one 
verse year, the first verse of 

34
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,400
chapter nine, let's go. 
Two verse 15 of chapter 8. 

35
00:02:25,300 --> 00:02:26,500
And we're going to read these 
verses. 

36
00:02:26,500 --> 00:02:31,200
The final three verses of 
chapter 8 and ask some important

37
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,400
questions. 
Well, we thank you tonight. 

38
00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:37,800
We are deeply grateful for the 
family of Christ who is 

39
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,000
gathering here on this Friday 
evening, when there are a 

40
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,100
thousand other things that we 
can do. 

41
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,400
And we know that there are a 
hundred different temptations 

42
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,100
that pull people into so many 
different directions to gratify 

43
00:02:51,100 --> 00:02:54,600
the desires of the flesh. 
But oh God, we are grateful that

44
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,300
these doors are open in your 
house that we can drink deeply 

45
00:02:58,300 --> 00:03:01,800
from your word because your word
is our ultimate Delight. 

46
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:07,300
We are are so grateful again for
your majesty, your humility and 

47
00:03:07,300 --> 00:03:10,700
your provision that is in your 
word today in Jesus name we 

48
00:03:10,700 --> 00:03:11,900
pray. 
Amen. 

49
00:03:13,300 --> 00:03:17,600
Second Samuel 8:15. 
So, David reigned over all 

50
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,200
Israel and David administered, 
Justice, and Equity to all his 

51
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,300
people. 
Joab. 

52
00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:27,500
The son of Zechariah was over 
the Army and Jehoshaphat the son

53
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:30,800
of a. 
He led was recorder and tzadik 

54
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,400
the son of a, he tub and a he 
Malik, the son of a bi far were 

55
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:40,000
priests and Soraya was secretary
and Benaiah the son of jehoiada 

56
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,200
was over the Cara theit's and 
the pellet sites and David's 

57
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:49,700
Sons were priests Anything 
significant stands out here in 

58
00:03:49,700 --> 00:03:52,400
this text because this is where 
we stopped last time and the 

59
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,700
snapshot that we have here of 
David's team teaches us in a 

60
00:03:56,700 --> 00:04:01,200
very general sense that this man
was not just a warrior who 

61
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:07,100
defended God's people. 
He was a leader who nurtured and

62
00:04:07,100 --> 00:04:10,900
managed God's people. 
Well, and he did so, by 

63
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,200
appointing eligible, 
subordinates to his 

64
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:20,300
administration he hand-selected 
Certain men who had skills that 

65
00:04:20,300 --> 00:04:25,100
would be able to help him govern
the nation and we can look at 

66
00:04:25,100 --> 00:04:28,700
for the next 15-20 minutes, the 
value and the principles, and 

67
00:04:28,700 --> 00:04:32,400
the importance of order and 
different qualifications for the

68
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,100
house of God today. 
But we're not going to do that 

69
00:04:34,100 --> 00:04:40,000
instead just from overview. 
Look at some details that you 

70
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,000
think might be helpful in 
understanding. 

71
00:04:42,900 --> 00:04:45,400
The totality of God's word 
concerning God's character and 

72
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:46,800
his Redemptive plan. 
Yeah. 

73
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:59,400
Joshua very good observation. 
Did you guys hear Joshua? 

74
00:05:00,500 --> 00:05:04,000
You notice the last few words of
the last verse David's. 

75
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,300
Sons were priests and we will 
come to that in a moment. 

76
00:05:07,500 --> 00:05:09,500
That's a very good observation. 
Josh, anything else. 

77
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,700
They want to kill salt. 
Okay, is there anybody in 

78
00:05:23,700 --> 00:05:25,200
particular that stands out to 
you? 

79
00:05:30,500 --> 00:05:34,900
Job was always David's man to go
but go ahead. 

80
00:05:35,900 --> 00:05:38,000
You might be confusing them with
somebody else which is okay. 

81
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,100
Because when it comes to 
biblical names it's kind of 

82
00:05:40,100 --> 00:05:41,600
difficult to track one or the 
other. 

83
00:05:41,700 --> 00:05:44,300
But if you aren't to something, 
try to find that name and let me

84
00:05:44,300 --> 00:05:47,400
know if that is the case. 
Anything else? 

85
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:55,700
Look at verse 16. 
Rather verse 17 exotic. 

86
00:05:55,700 --> 00:05:57,600
The son of a. 
He tub and I he may like the son

87
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,900
of a Bea Arthur were priests. 
Why is that interesting? 

88
00:06:03,300 --> 00:06:06,700
They were not just ordinary 
priest, they were Chief priests.

89
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:13,800
They actually in a joint fashion
occupied, the high Priestly role

90
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,200
And so why should that interests
us? 

91
00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:23,700
Come on Old Testament, students.
You should know this. 

92
00:06:24,100 --> 00:06:29,300
Why is that interesting? 
Why is it concerning? 

93
00:06:32,900 --> 00:06:34,900
How many people can become high 
priest? 

94
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,000
One, how many people that we 
just read? 

95
00:06:38,700 --> 00:06:44,900
Okay, something's off here. 
We have two people named who are

96
00:06:44,900 --> 00:06:50,700
occupying the same role. 
Now, why is that the case? 

97
00:06:52,300 --> 00:06:57,800
Does anybody have an idea? 
Sure, but when we go to 

98
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,200
Chronicles, we realize that they
do actually occupy. 

99
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,400
Those Priestly roles, the chief 
Priestly roles and there is a 

100
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:11,400
reason for that. 
Okay, you're on to something. 

101
00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:15,900
If you really want to look at 
the text that explains what I'm 

102
00:07:15,907 --> 00:07:18,400
about to say, you go to 1st 
chronicles, 16? 

103
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,800
Verse 39 actually could 
backtrack to verse 37 to 39. 

104
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,100
I'm not going to turn there, you
can reference that later. 

105
00:07:25,500 --> 00:07:30,100
But the reason why we have two 
people here who are joined 

106
00:07:30,100 --> 00:07:33,100
together in some sense, sharing 
the responsibility of one high 

107
00:07:33,100 --> 00:07:37,900
priest is because we are in an 
interesting predicament 

108
00:07:37,900 --> 00:07:42,900
concerning the house of worship.
When David brought the ark to 

109
00:07:42,900 --> 00:07:44,900
Jerusalem, did he bring the 
whole Tabernacle? 

110
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:53,900
No, he just brought the ark and 
David pitched, a unique tent for

111
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:59,000
that Arc while the remaining 
Furnishing, resided in gibeon. 

112
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:05,400
and so, what you have here is 
David strategically Allowing one

113
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:10,000
priest to supervise the arc 
while you had another priest who

114
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,800
is administrating, the levitical
duties back where the rest of 

115
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,500
the Furnishings were this is not
speculation, you know. 

116
00:08:17,500 --> 00:08:19,200
I'm a big man. 
You guys are looking at me, like

117
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,200
I'm saying something that's not 
true. 

118
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:25,600
So let's go to 1st chronicles. 
16 is I know it sounds stunning 

119
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,400
but put your seatbelts on its 
going to get crazier as we go 

120
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,600
on. 
So if you're a first chronicles 

121
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,299
16 verse 37, we have a parallel 
passage and notice what we are 

122
00:08:36,308 --> 00:08:44,600
told here. 
So David left a saphenous 

123
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,000
Brothers there before the Ark of
the Covenant of the Lord to 

124
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,300
minister regularly before the 
ark. 

125
00:08:49,300 --> 00:08:54,500
As each day required, you see 
that that come to verse 39 and 

126
00:08:54,500 --> 00:08:57,200
he left zadok and the priest and
his brothers, the priest before 

127
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:02,000
the Tabernacle of the Lord in 
the high place that was at 

128
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,600
gibeon to offer burnt offerings 
to the Lord, on the altar of the

129
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,400
burnt offering regularly 
morning, and eating to do, all 

130
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,600
that is written in the law of 
the Lord, that he commanded 

131
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,600
Israel. 
So you have one priest in 

132
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,200
Jerusalem. 
You have another priest in 

133
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,800
gibeon, that's why this is 
happening. 

134
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,900
And so there's some, there's 
some Grace here to extend, but 

135
00:09:22,900 --> 00:09:24,900
perhaps we have never thought 
about this before. 

136
00:09:24,900 --> 00:09:30,000
This predicament here. 
This occurrence is somewhat of a

137
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,800
unique parallel to the ministry 
and life of Jesus. 

138
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:43,600
Any idea how think about the 
Priestly situation during or 

139
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,100
right before Jesus public 
Ministry was announced. 

140
00:09:49,900 --> 00:09:55,300
What was the clergy like? 
Among the Jews was it an order? 

141
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,600
Okay, so Luke chapter 3, go to 
verse 2, and then you're going 

142
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,400
to see somewhat of a 
foreshadowing here in second 

143
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,000
Samuel 8. 
It's just a little nudge, but 

144
00:10:07,500 --> 00:10:09,900
I'll take all that I can get 
about anything in the Old 

145
00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:14,000
Testament that might point to 
Jesus in Luke chapter 3, verse 

146
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,000
2, after giving us a description
of the political scene in Jesus 

147
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,400
day, we get a description of the
spiritual leadership of Jesus 

148
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,200
day. 
And what are we read in verse to

149
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,800
Luke 3 during the high 
priesthood? 

150
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:32,700
I'm expecting to read one name. 
During the high priesthood of 

151
00:10:32,700 --> 00:10:37,300
Anna's and Caiaphas. 
The word of God came to John the

152
00:10:37,300 --> 00:10:39,200
son of Zechariah in the 
wilderness. 

153
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,700
How many people are supposed to 
occupy, the high Priestly role? 

154
00:10:42,300 --> 00:10:44,900
How many did you just read 
interesting? 

155
00:10:46,500 --> 00:10:50,000
Now, this is going to be solved 
once Solomon becomes king and he

156
00:10:50,008 --> 00:10:54,500
succeeds his father. 
Because we see here that hey, 

157
00:10:54,500 --> 00:10:56,900
Malik is actually going to be 
exiled because he's going to try

158
00:10:56,900 --> 00:11:01,100
to help adonijah occupy the 
throne when they belong to 

159
00:11:01,100 --> 00:11:03,000
Solomon. 
So that's going to be solved but

160
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,100
David allows it to happen at 
this point and I just find it. 

161
00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:08,900
So interesting that during the 
life of Jesus, the son of David.

162
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,600
He also not only had to deal 
with a very corrupt political 

163
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,000
realm. 
He also had to deal with a very 

164
00:11:16,100 --> 00:11:20,800
Contorted, spiritual leadership 
that had all kinds of things 

165
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,600
going on and that he confronted 
boldly. 

166
00:11:23,700 --> 00:11:26,400
Now if we think that is 
interesting, we come down to 

167
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:31,300
what Joshua mentioned. 
In verse 18 David's Sons were 

168
00:11:31,300 --> 00:11:34,800
priests who here has a 
translation other than the ESV 

169
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,100
just lift your hand. 
I'm curious, one, two, three, 

170
00:11:37,100 --> 00:11:38,300
four. 
Okay, maybe like six seven 

171
00:11:38,300 --> 00:11:42,700
people, this is your 
translation, say priests, which 

172
00:11:42,700 --> 00:11:46,900
translation do you have? 
It says priest, which 

173
00:11:46,900 --> 00:11:50,000
translation says Chief rulers. 
Anybody have Chief rulers. 

174
00:11:51,300 --> 00:11:53,000
And the King James will say 
Chief rulers. 

175
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,200
Yeah. 
And he has to be anybody of the 

176
00:11:55,200 --> 00:12:00,400
nasb. 
So what you have I'm I'm 

177
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,000
actually surprised that the new 
King James has priests because 

178
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,700
some of those new King James 
translation is actually have 

179
00:12:06,700 --> 00:12:08,800
Chief rulers of Chief Minister's
right. 

180
00:12:17,500 --> 00:12:19,800
First Chronicles, 18:17, right? 
Yeah. 

181
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:25,400
We'll get to that in a moment. 
Why is it fascinating for us 

182
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,600
that the ESV would use the word 
priests to describe? 

183
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:34,000
David's Sons. 
The suns were from the tribe of 

184
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,200
one. 
And that is a prerogative. 

185
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,600
The priesthood is a prerogative 
that solely belong to the sons 

186
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,100
of who Right, Aaron, who is a 
levite. 

187
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,900
And when you look at this, I 
think to myself, is there a 

188
00:12:45,900 --> 00:12:48,500
mistake here? 
And if we thought that David 

189
00:12:48,500 --> 00:12:50,800
having to high priest was 
irregular, it's only going to 

190
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,100
get more interesting. 
When we look at what we see 

191
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,700
before us, do you know why the 
ESV uses the word priests? 

192
00:12:57,100 --> 00:13:01,100
It's because when you go to the 
original Hebrew word, it's 

193
00:13:01,100 --> 00:13:06,200
actually and its primary 
definition and it's common usage

194
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,200
throughout the Old Testament, 
the word for priests. 

195
00:13:11,100 --> 00:13:13,900
And I'm under the persuasion 
that translators. 

196
00:13:13,900 --> 00:13:18,300
When they came to this text were
a little bit confused maybe or 

197
00:13:18,300 --> 00:13:21,700
startled. 
And in order to avoid 

198
00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:27,900
controversy found Liberty to 
broaden, the definition of a 

199
00:13:27,900 --> 00:13:32,900
little bit to try to fix the 
apparent issue here, that David 

200
00:13:32,900 --> 00:13:37,700
was walking in blatant, Defiance
to the levitical code about the 

201
00:13:37,700 --> 00:13:40,100
priesthood. 
And so, that's why in some of 

202
00:13:40,100 --> 00:13:43,700
these translations, you see 
Chief rulers, Chief ministers, 

203
00:13:44,300 --> 00:13:46,000
and our brother just point out 
while hold on. 

204
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,500
Here's an objection. 
When you go to the parallel 

205
00:13:48,500 --> 00:13:53,800
passage in first, 18:17 what 
you're going to find is 

206
00:13:54,100 --> 00:13:56,600
something that would confirm 
what those translations say, 

207
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,200
when they chose to use Chief 
rulers, Chief Minister's, we 

208
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,900
just heard it and First 
Chronicles 1817. 

209
00:14:02,900 --> 00:14:08,100
It tells us and David's Sons 
were Chief officials in the 

210
00:14:08,100 --> 00:14:10,400
service of the king in the King 
James. 

211
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:16,000
I was a Chiefs Now, that may end
the argument, but it actually 

212
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,700
makes it more complicated and 
I'll tell you why. 

213
00:14:19,300 --> 00:14:22,100
Because when you do a little 
digging into the Hebrew of the 

214
00:14:22,100 --> 00:14:27,000
chief and the Chiefs here in 
first Chronicles 1817, it's a 

215
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,600
different word than the Hebrew 
word for priest in 2nd Samuel 8.

216
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,200
the word for Chiefs and First 
Chronicles, 18:17 simply means 

217
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:44,800
primary Right, it speaks of 
being first, that's not what the

218
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,800
Hebrew word here is for priest, 
and 2nd, Samuel 8. 

219
00:14:51,100 --> 00:14:54,400
I believe that those who 
translated it this way and 

220
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,800
accepted the controversy to 
preserve. 

221
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,500
The purest, definition of the 
word, did the right thing and 

222
00:14:59,500 --> 00:15:02,300
I'm glad they did. 
I'm glad they did, no 

223
00:15:02,300 --> 00:15:05,400
translation is absolutely 
perfect but in this case I 

224
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,800
applaud the word priest being 
used because it's really isn't 

225
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,400
controversial. 
It isn't controversial for the 

226
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:17,000
student of the Old Testament who
understands that the spirit of 

227
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:23,200
God has foretold of a coming 
priesthood. 

228
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,700
Namely one after who now Kenzi 
deck. 

229
00:15:29,900 --> 00:15:32,700
When you see it with that lens, 
then you understand. 

230
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:37,100
This is something powerful. 
David had a revelation we touch 

231
00:15:37,100 --> 00:15:41,500
on this and second, Samuel 6, in
Psalms 110, he had a regular 

232
00:15:41,500 --> 00:15:43,400
Revelation. 
That one of his descendants 

233
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,400
would not only be a king, he 
would be his Lord. 

234
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,800
Jesus used that Jesus used that 
against the Pharisees, when he 

235
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,200
said, how can David Son, also be
his Lord. 

236
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,100
So there is a Divine element to 
his descendant. 

237
00:15:58,500 --> 00:16:01,200
But more than that, when you go 
to verse 4 of Psalm, 110, what 

238
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,400
do you see you see this 
prophecy. 

239
00:16:03,900 --> 00:16:07,200
You are priest forever. 
Ever After the order of 

240
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,100
Melchizedek so he's not just 
Lord over David. 

241
00:16:11,100 --> 00:16:14,100
He's not just going to be a king
occupying, the seat and the 

242
00:16:14,100 --> 00:16:17,100
Throne of David. 
He's actually going to be what 

243
00:16:17,100 --> 00:16:21,600
was so foreign to the law of 
Moses, this hybrid of priest and

244
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,800
King. 
Priest and King that David had 

245
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,600
that Insight by the spirit of 
God. 

246
00:16:27,700 --> 00:16:31,800
David, we are told, was not just
a song as he was a prophet. 

247
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,700
New Testament tells us that. 
So as a prophet he receives this

248
00:16:36,700 --> 00:16:41,300
insight and I wonder if David in
this moment because he had that 

249
00:16:41,300 --> 00:16:46,600
Revelation initiated and 
delegated to his son's a unique 

250
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:51,600
role simply because he was 
responding to that Revelation 

251
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:57,900
and wanted to in some way 
prepare For this seed of his who

252
00:16:57,900 --> 00:17:02,500
would be both King and Priests. 
In other words, he's not doing 

253
00:17:02,500 --> 00:17:05,400
this to try to obstruct the 
functioning of the levitical 

254
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,700
priesthood, and I don't even 
think David's Sons here were 

255
00:17:08,700 --> 00:17:13,000
attempting to minister in the 
way that only the Levites could.

256
00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:16,300
I believe, David is just trying 
his best here to respond to what

257
00:17:16,300 --> 00:17:19,300
he was told about his seed, one 
of your son's. 

258
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,700
He's gonna be a king, but he's 
also going to be a priest. 

259
00:17:24,700 --> 00:17:27,700
And what comforts me with that 
is that their arguments from 

260
00:17:27,700 --> 00:17:31,000
silence or not, the best David 
has already done quite a few 

261
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,700
things that are very priest-like
and God didn't rebuke him, God 

262
00:17:34,700 --> 00:17:36,400
didn't send a prophet to correct
them. 

263
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,700
God doesn't discipline him. 
God is silent about it. 

264
00:17:40,300 --> 00:17:43,600
Even up to this point here. 
So what did David Sons do as 

265
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:44,900
priests? 
I'm not too sure. 

266
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,000
One thing I know is that he 
feared God enough not to allow 

267
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,300
his son to enter into the 
Tabernacle and assume levitical 

268
00:17:51,300 --> 00:17:54,200
duties. 
So I don't know what it looks 

269
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,500
like. 
All I know is this is a 

270
00:17:56,500 --> 00:18:02,200
wonderful wonderful proof that 
David really believed that his 

271
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,100
son would be a king and a 
priest. 

272
00:18:05,700 --> 00:18:08,500
And so be encouraged by that. 
This is not a contradiction in 

273
00:18:08,500 --> 00:18:10,600
your Bible. 
This is not something that the 

274
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,200
original writers got wrong. 
I believe they knew exactly what

275
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,900
they were doing when they chose 
the word priest here because 

276
00:18:15,900 --> 00:18:19,200
that's what really happened. 
Now, let's continue with the 

277
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,500
theme of Jesus. 
Jesus is going to dominate 

278
00:18:22,500 --> 00:18:26,300
chapter 9, we come now to 
chapter 9 and we realize that 

279
00:18:26,300 --> 00:18:32,700
David after so much success, 
everything being established has

280
00:18:32,700 --> 00:18:35,600
another thing set on his heart. 
At one point, he wanted to build

281
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,800
something for God. 
And now he wants to do something

282
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:43,200
for another person's house verse
1 and David said, is there still

283
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,400
any one left of the House of 
Saul that? 

284
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,600
I may show him kindness for 
Jonathan's. 

285
00:18:47,900 --> 00:18:52,600
Sake. 
This is what blows me away 

286
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,200
about. 
That one verse the fact that 

287
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:59,100
David has to inquire about any 
survivors from the house of Saul

288
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,400
indicates. 
Clearly of the extent of the 

289
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:10,400
below that saw received from God
for his sin, it almost brought 

290
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:15,900
him to near-extinction. 
His dynasty was almost over at 

291
00:19:15,900 --> 00:19:21,100
an accelerating rate so much so 
that David actually had to send 

292
00:19:21,100 --> 00:19:23,800
out. 
A search team to try to figure 

293
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,700
out if there are any sons of 
Saul left. 

294
00:19:27,500 --> 00:19:33,000
And here is the lesson for us, 
you, and I must look at this and

295
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:38,700
comprehend. 
The absolute severity of sin Sin

296
00:19:38,700 --> 00:19:42,200
in our lives is not interested 
in merely making. 

297
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:47,900
You feel shameful for a moment 
or just slightly harming you, it

298
00:19:47,900 --> 00:19:52,700
wants to devour you. 
It wants to corrupt everything. 

299
00:19:52,700 --> 00:19:57,200
Good, in our lives, down to the 
core, like a pool of piranhas. 

300
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,100
You put anything in there. 
It will chew it down to the 

301
00:20:00,100 --> 00:20:01,400
bone. 
I don't care what it is. 

302
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:07,100
It will sin will do that to your
body sin will do that to your 

303
00:20:07,100 --> 00:20:10,000
money. 
Sin will do that to your 

304
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,500
marriage. 
Sin will do it to society as a 

305
00:20:12,500 --> 00:20:14,900
whole. 
It will bring it down to the 

306
00:20:14,900 --> 00:20:17,500
point where all you have left is
crumbs. 

307
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,100
Sometimes sin is so vicious and 
selfish, you'll take the crumbs 

308
00:20:22,100 --> 00:20:25,900
as well. 
We see here that whatever you 

309
00:20:25,900 --> 00:20:30,600
give unrestrained access to 
whatever you allow sin and 

310
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,000
whatever permission you give it 
into your life, it will do what 

311
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,900
it did with here with Saul. 
It will absolutely erode what it

312
00:20:36,900 --> 00:20:40,100
is to the point where it will be
almost unrecognizable. 

313
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,100
If we really believe that we 
would be scared of it and we 

314
00:20:43,100 --> 00:20:46,700
should be scared of sin. 
But on a positive note, you 

315
00:20:46,700 --> 00:20:49,900
know, what David does, here we 
see something of his mercy and 

316
00:20:49,900 --> 00:20:52,600
compassion that shines 
throughout this chapter notice 

317
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,500
what he says there. 
That I may show him what 

318
00:20:54,500 --> 00:20:57,300
kindness can do. 
We didn't do what we usually do 

319
00:20:57,308 --> 00:20:59,700
and that's read through the 
chapter before we discuss it. 

320
00:21:00,700 --> 00:21:03,300
But the word kindness shows up a
total of three times in this 

321
00:21:03,300 --> 00:21:08,000
chapter that verse we just read.
Now come down to verse 3. 

322
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,400
And the King said is they're not
still somewhat of the House of 

323
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,400
Saul that I may show the 
kindness of God to him. 

324
00:21:14,900 --> 00:21:18,900
I want to show the kindness of 
God to him and we scroll down 

325
00:21:18,900 --> 00:21:22,500
what you will realize is that he
says it another time he says it 

326
00:21:22,500 --> 00:21:28,900
here in verse First seven. 
Correct. 

327
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,300
He says and David said them do 
not fear for I will show you 

328
00:21:32,300 --> 00:21:35,300
kindness three times. 
Kindness kindness kindness. 

329
00:21:35,300 --> 00:21:37,400
But do you notice verse 3? 
It's a particular kind of 

330
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,300
kindness which kind of kindness 
kindness of God. 

331
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:47,000
This is not just some moment of 
just sentimental, affection that

332
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,300
he wants to act upon, there's a 
deep kindness that he wants to 

333
00:21:51,300 --> 00:21:55,600
extend to the house of Saul. 
And so he's moved to do this. 

334
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,100
I believe this was in David's 
heart for many, many years ever 

335
00:21:59,100 --> 00:22:02,400
since he made a covenant with 
Jonathan now is the time where I

336
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,400
can extend kindness. 
And this timing is so important.

337
00:22:06,700 --> 00:22:10,000
Because what David is doing here
is the exact opposite of what a 

338
00:22:10,008 --> 00:22:13,400
king would do in that time. 
I'm when a king would arise and 

339
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,800
obtain power. 
One of his strategies would be 

340
00:22:16,900 --> 00:22:21,600
to totally eradicate any 
competitors are potential 

341
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,100
threats from the preceding 
Dynasty. 

342
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,200
So that there would be no future
Rebellion against his throne in 

343
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,300
Authority. 
David is literally doing what 

344
00:22:30,500 --> 00:22:33,800
you would not want to do. 
If you are an Eastern king of 

345
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,500
his day. 
Which is astounding. 

346
00:22:37,700 --> 00:22:40,500
And the kindness of God here is,
is really the theme of the 

347
00:22:40,500 --> 00:22:42,500
chapter? 
And here's what's so good, 

348
00:22:43,300 --> 00:22:47,000
because what David is ready to 
plan and execute for Saul's 

349
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,100
house is what you and I 
understand and is magnified 

350
00:22:51,100 --> 00:22:55,600
concerning Jesus, not just 
towards one family, but towards 

351
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,100
the family of Adam, the whole 
human race. 

352
00:23:00,100 --> 00:23:02,400
And so, when you and I look at 
the features here and the 

353
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,500
details here and the acts of 
mercy here, look at it, in the 

354
00:23:06,500 --> 00:23:12,400
lens of Jesus, the son of David 
and what he's willing to extend 

355
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,700
and what he's willing to offer 
to the most undeserving and so 

356
00:23:15,700 --> 00:23:18,500
that's really what's going to 
dominate this Bible study and so

357
00:23:18,500 --> 00:23:21,400
as you and I come here we 
realized that kindness is the 

358
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:25,000
theme. 
Kindness is actually a word that

359
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,100
the Holy Spirit uses when it 
talks about Jesus. 

360
00:23:29,500 --> 00:23:32,400
When the Holy Spirit speaks 
about Jesus. 

361
00:23:33,100 --> 00:23:35,700
He testifies of his kindness and
there's many verses one of the 

362
00:23:35,708 --> 00:23:37,200
ones that I memorize early on 
that. 

363
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,800
I hold close to my heart is 
Titus 3 4 because of the 

364
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:48,300
goodness and loving kindness of 
God, our savior appeared, the 

365
00:23:48,300 --> 00:23:52,200
loving kindness. 
There's love behind that 

366
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,200
kindness. 
There is a heartbeat behind 

367
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,000
that. 
Kindness, it's not just a mere 

368
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:02,700
Duty, there's actual affection 
behind that kindness And the 

369
00:24:02,700 --> 00:24:07,400
kindness though Titus speaks 
about in the past tense, it has 

370
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,800
appeared on the cross. 
It's not limited to this life. 

371
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:15,400
That kindness is only going to 
be realized in measures that you

372
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,900
and I cannot comprehend for all 
of eternity. 

373
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,000
So let me read this to you in a 
fusions 27, this is glorious. 

374
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,500
So that in the coming ages, this
is what Paul says in the coming 

375
00:24:26,500 --> 00:24:29,600
ages Beyond this age, and the 
coming ages that we're 

376
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:34,600
anticipating, he might show the 
immeasurable Riches of his grace

377
00:24:35,100 --> 00:24:40,000
in kindness. 
Toward us in Christ Jesus. 

378
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:40,900
You know what? 
That tells me. 

379
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:46,500
The kindness of Jesus Christ 
will require an eternity to 

380
00:24:46,500 --> 00:24:52,900
experience. 
If we thought that the cross was

381
00:24:52,900 --> 00:24:58,100
enough and it is the experience 
of that kindness is going to 

382
00:24:58,100 --> 00:25:02,000
shower over us. 
And after we drank of it for 

383
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,500
1,000 years, another 10,000 
years will come and you and I 

384
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:10,900
will just go to higher levels of
enjoying the kindness of God. 

385
00:25:12,700 --> 00:25:15,200
So we think we're going up to 
heaven and and and the Lord is 

386
00:25:15,208 --> 00:25:18,400
going to stand there on his 
throne by his throne and sit on 

387
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:19,500
his throne with his arms 
crossed. 

388
00:25:19,500 --> 00:25:20,800
And okay. 
Now, for all the attorney show 

389
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,400
me your appreciate your 
appreciation. 

390
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,600
Okay, go No, no. 
In heaven. 

391
00:25:25,700 --> 00:25:30,100
Not only are we going to cast 
our crowns at his feet but God 

392
00:25:30,100 --> 00:25:34,600
is going to continue to 
overshadow us with his kindness 

393
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,000
and an experiential way. 
So we're not we're not having is

394
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,400
not this neutral thing and it's 
foggy and hazy and we hear 

395
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,000
angels and we're going to sing 
with them from time to time. 

396
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,300
And after 300 years we can 
think. 

397
00:25:45,300 --> 00:25:46,400
Is this? 
Is it? 

398
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:47,400
This is. 
What is there? 

399
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,400
Nothing else here? 
No, you will be Spellbound. 

400
00:25:52,100 --> 00:25:56,700
As you realize that, once you've
come to a measure of kindness 

401
00:25:56,700 --> 00:25:58,800
that you never knew was 
possible, you're only going to 

402
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:03,500
be met with a greater measure of
it over and over and over and 

403
00:26:03,500 --> 00:26:06,200
over and over. 
And this is why argue for one of

404
00:26:06,208 --> 00:26:09,600
the reasons for a resurrected 
body, not just so that Jesus can

405
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,600
claim victory over the whole 
man. 

406
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,900
That's why we believe your body,
your body, your actual body will

407
00:26:15,900 --> 00:26:17,300
be resurrected. 
You're not going to get a new 

408
00:26:17,300 --> 00:26:18,800
one, while the other one rots in
the ground. 

409
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,600
That one that is rotting in the 
ground, will be called upon And 

410
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:27,300
it will be transformed so that 
Jesus can claim victory over sin

411
00:26:27,300 --> 00:26:31,000
even over your flesh. 
But it's not just for that. 

412
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,800
I believe that he's going to 
wire us in a certain way so that

413
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:38,000
we can we can at least enjoy the
kindness and not be destroyed by

414
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:42,100
it if I can use that word. so 
that we can be vessels that 

415
00:26:42,100 --> 00:26:46,200
receive that kindness and 
actually be able to be put 

416
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,500
together still We can stop here 
and worship. 

417
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,500
Now, we come to this text and 
what do we realize? 

418
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,900
The kindness of David which is 
really the kindness of God. 

419
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:03,100
Tell me what things stand out to
just from verse one, just from 

420
00:27:03,100 --> 00:27:05,600
verse one, what can you tell me 
about the kindness of God? 

421
00:27:05,700 --> 00:27:09,200
What can you tell me here as you
view it, and apply it to Jesus 

422
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,700
Christ. 
Is there anyone left of the 

423
00:27:11,700 --> 00:27:13,700
House of Saul that? 
I may show him kindness for 

424
00:27:13,700 --> 00:27:23,800
Jonathan sake. 
So that's he initiates it, his 

425
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,100
kindness is the as a type of 
kindness that is initiated by 

426
00:27:27,100 --> 00:27:28,000
him. 
We'll get to that in a few 

427
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,200
verses but wonderful Point any 
other observations? 

428
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,000
Well, think about it, this way. 
I just mentioned it before. 

429
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:50,500
Yes, brother. 
What's the inspiration in the 

430
00:27:50,500 --> 00:27:54,700
reason for David to show 
kindness to solve for Jonathan's

431
00:27:54,700 --> 00:27:57,800
sake? 
Do you hear that ring? 

432
00:27:58,700 --> 00:28:01,200
Great, yes. 
Yes, Covenant, yes. 

433
00:28:04,300 --> 00:28:06,800
Exactly. 
And so we have David here, 

434
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,200
honoring a covenant that he had 
made with Jonathan that he is 

435
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:14,800
now going to extend to his, his 
house your there? 

436
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:19,000
Yes, let's backtrack and let's 
go to a basic premise of the 

437
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:23,500
Gospel, is the house of Saud? 
Deserving of the kindness of 

438
00:28:23,500 --> 00:28:26,300
David answer. 
No, the most undeserving 

439
00:28:26,300 --> 00:28:30,900
actually the candidate that is 
least expected to receive any 

440
00:28:30,900 --> 00:28:34,900
kindness from David. 
You heard one reason why and I 

441
00:28:34,900 --> 00:28:37,900
think that suffice has as a 
reason, but when you come here 

442
00:28:37,900 --> 00:28:43,400
and you realize it, You think to
yourself This is scandalous. 

443
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,400
This is actually scandalous. 
This is foreign this, you don't 

444
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,400
do this as a king. 
This isn't wise, this isn't 

445
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,900
fair, this isn't strategy, but 
that's what Grace is. 

446
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,800
It doesn't make sense. 
It actually offends. 

447
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,600
The Bible says, the gospel is a 
gospel of offense. 

448
00:29:03,300 --> 00:29:06,000
It just doesn't make sense to 
human reasoning to a certain 

449
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,000
degree that him doing all that 
for me though. 

450
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,100
I did all that to him, I must do
something. 

451
00:29:12,100 --> 00:29:13,200
That's where the offense comes 
in. 

452
00:29:13,300 --> 00:29:15,700
I must do something to 
contribute to this, and that's 

453
00:29:15,700 --> 00:29:19,700
where that's where people don't 
get saved, but we see here. 

454
00:29:19,700 --> 00:29:23,500
That David is willing to come 
and reach out to the house of 

455
00:29:23,500 --> 00:29:26,800
Saul, those saws, the most 
undeserving, and that's you. 

456
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:31,200
And I, as sinners, There's 
nothing about Saul that moves, 

457
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,700
David and in a sense that any 
good that he's done to say, you 

458
00:29:33,700 --> 00:29:35,800
know, I think I should do 
something for you in return 

459
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:41,500
unmerited. 
And then we heard it because the

460
00:29:41,500 --> 00:29:45,000
real inspiration here is his, 
willingness is because of a 

461
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,800
coven that he made with one of 
check this word out, the 

462
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:52,600
representatives of the House of 
Saul was there anybody apart 

463
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,100
from Jonathan? 
That was worthy to receive. 

464
00:29:54,100 --> 00:29:59,300
Mercy saw know, especially with 
he was a headache for seven 

465
00:29:59,300 --> 00:30:03,100
years. 
Michal even she was another 

466
00:30:03,100 --> 00:30:05,700
added headache headaches 
everywhere from the house of 

467
00:30:05,700 --> 00:30:09,200
Saul. 
But there is one man in that 

468
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,500
house whom God, honored whom 
David honored. 

469
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,800
And they shared a special bond. 
They shared a special friendship

470
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,800
and that friendship was so 
wonderful, so great. 

471
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:27,800
So promising, that that David 
was willing, just because of him

472
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,800
to be able to reach out to those
who are related to him that did 

473
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,800
not deserve, they were unworthy 
members. 

474
00:30:35,900 --> 00:30:37,500
Of tasting, the mercy of this 
King. 

475
00:30:39,300 --> 00:30:42,000
You understand it, right? 
He is Christ. 

476
00:30:42,100 --> 00:30:44,800
He becomes our brother in the 
flesh. 

477
00:30:44,900 --> 00:30:50,200
Hebrews tells us and because he 
identifies with our Humanity, he

478
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,600
is now able to be our 
representative. 

479
00:30:54,500 --> 00:30:57,300
But at the same time just like 
Jonathan he holds a special and 

480
00:30:57,300 --> 00:31:03,900
unique relationship with God and
because of that that wonderful 

481
00:31:04,500 --> 00:31:07,400
status that Christ held being 
man. 

482
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:11,300
Yes but being truly God, Odd. 
He now can act as our 

483
00:31:11,300 --> 00:31:15,900
representative of also, as our 
mediator And so in the same way 

484
00:31:15,900 --> 00:31:19,600
that David can only reach saws 
house through Jonathan. 

485
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,100
So it is with God, through 
Jesus. 

486
00:31:22,100 --> 00:31:27,100
And Jesus alone are the Unworthy
members worthy. 

487
00:31:27,100 --> 00:31:32,200
Now, to receive the grace that 
apart from Jonathan, apart from 

488
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:36,100
Jesus would not be possible. 
If Jonathan is not in the scene,

489
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,700
kindness is not on the scene. 
If Christ didn't step into our 

490
00:31:39,700 --> 00:31:44,200
world, and walk are in our world
and obey on our behalf and dying

491
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,000
are Half kindness would not be 
realized, only Wrath. 

492
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,700
And so we see your clear that 
there was a gospel picture of 

493
00:31:51,100 --> 00:31:53,200
the mediating work of Jesus 
Christ. 

494
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,000
Now we come and we realized 
something else in verse 2. 

495
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,600
And trust me what we're going to
do in this Bible study does not 

496
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,800
do this chapter Justice maybe 
we'll visit another time to 

497
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,000
excavate more Treasures of 
Truth, verse 2 now there was a 

498
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,200
servant of the House of Saul 
whose name was Eva and they call

499
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:09,600
them to David and the King set 
them. 

500
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,100
Are you ziba and he said I'm a 
Sherman and the King said is 

501
00:32:13,100 --> 00:32:15,500
they're not still someone of the
House of Saul that I may show 

502
00:32:15,500 --> 00:32:20,200
the kindness of God to him. 
The ziba said to the king, there

503
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,700
is still a son of Jonathan. 
He is crippled in his feet. 

504
00:32:24,700 --> 00:32:26,800
And the King said to him, where 
is he? 

505
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,900
And ziba said to the king, he is
in the house of Mahir. 

506
00:32:29,900 --> 00:32:35,000
The son of a mile at Lo debar. 
Pause. 

507
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,800
Take a breath. 
Look at those two verses. 

508
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:43,000
Anything that stands out, but 
keep your glasses on the glasses

509
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,700
of the gospel and look at it in 
light of that. 

510
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,900
He sends a search party out. 
They find a man by the name of 

511
00:32:50,900 --> 00:32:54,100
ziba Z becomes Before the Throne
and the King asked about any 

512
00:32:54,100 --> 00:32:57,400
potential remnants. 
And he is told of one. 

513
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,700
Who is Jonathan son? 
What are we told about Jonathan 

514
00:33:00,700 --> 00:33:02,400
son? 
My fetish Seth. 

515
00:33:04,500 --> 00:33:05,600
He's crippled. 
Interesting. 

516
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,500
Insight is a knot. 
We are told about his physical 

517
00:33:08,500 --> 00:33:10,300
condition. 
What else are? 

518
00:33:10,300 --> 00:33:17,600
We told his physical location, 
his physical condition, his 

519
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:21,400
physical location. 
Both things point to spiritual 

520
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,900
truths, that pertain to us in 
light of the Gospel. 

521
00:33:24,900 --> 00:33:28,000
Theme that we are trying to 
study tonight. 

522
00:33:28,500 --> 00:33:31,400
Does anybody remember how 
mephibosheth was crippled? 

523
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,600
He fell, right? 
He fell his disability here 

524
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,800
because we're told that he was 
lame and his feet reminds us of 

525
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,800
our weakness in the flesh before
we were summoned by Jesus. 

526
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:49,200
You and I before Christ were 
unable to walk in Holiness. 

527
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,800
We're unable to keep in step 
with the spirit, run able to 

528
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,800
satisfy the demands of God. 
In fact, the scriptures tells us

529
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:01,000
that while we were weak while we
were weak. 

530
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,300
God in his perfect timing. 
Sends Christ to die on our 

531
00:34:05,300 --> 00:34:07,700
behalf. 
So mephibosheth crippled stayed 

532
00:34:07,700 --> 00:34:13,000
here is an illustration that you
and I could not walk out in the 

533
00:34:13,007 --> 00:34:16,100
way that God called us and 
designed us to walk out. 

534
00:34:16,500 --> 00:34:21,300
Leaving us all guilty, leaving a
smeared with transgression and 

535
00:34:21,308 --> 00:34:24,699
that's what we see here. 
A man who is unable a man who 

536
00:34:24,699 --> 00:34:27,300
could not not in his own 
strength and his own wisdom 

537
00:34:27,300 --> 00:34:30,300
because of the corruption of his
flesh, could not meet the 

538
00:34:30,300 --> 00:34:34,900
demands of a holy God. 
And now when we look back and if

539
00:34:34,900 --> 00:34:37,699
you're here in second, Samuel, 
go to chapter 4 because we 

540
00:34:37,699 --> 00:34:40,800
touched on it quickly. 
And we purposely put it aside so

541
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,500
that when we come to this, we 
can dig it up in Greater detail.

542
00:34:44,300 --> 00:34:47,400
When you look at the history of 
this man's condition, you 

543
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:52,100
discover even more truths about 
the gospel in 2nd, Samuel 44. 

544
00:34:53,900 --> 00:34:57,100
Jonathan the son of Saul had a 
son who was crippled and his 

545
00:34:57,100 --> 00:34:59,100
feet. 
He was five years old. 

546
00:34:59,100 --> 00:35:01,900
When the news about Saul and 
Jonathan came from dreads cereal

547
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,400
and his nurse took him up and 
fled and as she fled in her 

548
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:10,100
haste, he fell and became lame. 
And his name was mephibosheth. 

549
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:16,100
This man was crippled as a 
result of a fall, but it's a 

550
00:35:16,107 --> 00:35:21,900
very specific fall. 
He was dropped. by someone else 

551
00:35:21,900 --> 00:35:24,300
who would experience and he 
would experience because of that

552
00:35:24,300 --> 00:35:28,800
mistake, the consequence, And 
would be forever, altered. 

553
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:31,800
You and I in a sense were 
dropped. 

554
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:36,900
What we, what happened in the 
garden? 

555
00:35:36,900 --> 00:35:39,400
With our first parents is called
the fall of Man. 

556
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:46,000
And that's where Humanity fell. 
And when they fell, we fell also

557
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:50,700
and we are currently suffering 
with a with a fractured Human 

558
00:35:50,700 --> 00:35:54,400
Nature. 
And that will be true for the 

559
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:58,500
rest of this age, until the Lord
regenerates. 

560
00:35:58,500 --> 00:36:02,300
Not just us completely, but the 
World As We Know It. 

561
00:36:03,500 --> 00:36:06,300
And so, we see here, that 
mephibosheth is crippled, as a 

562
00:36:06,308 --> 00:36:10,900
result of the cause of somebody 
else's failure. 

563
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,800
That is true for you. 
And I, and Adam, and Eve that is

564
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,100
true with our ancestors. 
That is true with our first 

565
00:36:16,100 --> 00:36:18,400
parents, but I find interesting 
too. 

566
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,600
Is that it happened to him at a 
young age. 

567
00:36:20,900 --> 00:36:25,800
In other words, the consequences
of the Fall appeared very early 

568
00:36:29,300 --> 00:36:34,800
when does sin tend to surface in
life, when you're 40, now, when 

569
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,000
you're four, It's not a 
theological age. 

570
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:42,900
I just want to sound clever. 
when you're very young, when 

571
00:36:42,900 --> 00:36:46,500
you're very young, the 
imaginations and Fascinations of

572
00:36:46,500 --> 00:36:52,200
evil men, efest, Early in life, 
just like in a sense 

573
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:56,400
mephibosheth script illness here
is his lameness here appeared in

574
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,600
his youth. 
And we are all convinced you 

575
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,000
that the evidence of our 
inability to walk in the ways of

576
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,900
God does not take much time, it 
manifest quite early. 

577
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:11,600
And manifest quite early. 
That's the physical condition. 

578
00:37:11,700 --> 00:37:13,200
What about the physical 
location? 

579
00:37:14,100 --> 00:37:17,100
Remember, he was told he's in 
the house of Mahir, the son of a

580
00:37:17,100 --> 00:37:21,700
meal at low, the bar? 
Okay, that's why sometimes Maps 

581
00:37:21,700 --> 00:37:25,500
help because they're in the back
of your Bible for a reason. 

582
00:37:25,500 --> 00:37:27,500
If you have them. 
And now you're even have to go 

583
00:37:27,500 --> 00:37:29,700
to the back of your Bible, you 
can just study a bit longer and 

584
00:37:29,700 --> 00:37:32,000
examine and you can realize 
where things are. 

585
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:37,100
Load. 
The bar is found at the east of 

586
00:37:37,100 --> 00:37:38,700
the Jordan. 
That's where the border is into 

587
00:37:38,700 --> 00:37:43,600
the Promised Land. 
Lodi bar is distant from where 

588
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,800
David is. 
He's not close. 

589
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:51,100
He's distant. 
Second to that load bar, you 

590
00:37:51,100 --> 00:37:54,700
know what? 
It means nothing without 

591
00:37:54,700 --> 00:37:58,500
pasture. 
It's a desolate land, it's a 

592
00:37:58,500 --> 00:37:59,600
fruit. 
This land. 

593
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:04,600
It's a land out, lacks Harvest. 
And so put that together, we 

594
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:12,100
have this man where he is in a 
distant and desolate place. 

595
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,400
And he is the son of royalty. 
Is he not? 

596
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,500
He is the Sun. 
As Grandpa was saw his father 

597
00:38:20,500 --> 00:38:23,300
was Jonathan. 
Is he living? 

598
00:38:24,700 --> 00:38:27,200
Is he living in one of Saul's 
homes? 

599
00:38:28,300 --> 00:38:29,000
No. 
Where is he? 

600
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,700
He's in a he's in the house of 
an a man named Mahir. 

601
00:38:31,700 --> 00:38:35,700
The son of a mile. 
I believe that mephibosheth was 

602
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,900
was very poor. 
Very poor. 

603
00:38:40,300 --> 00:38:43,400
Now put all those descriptions 
together, you have a man who is 

604
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,600
bankrupt. 
You have a man who's living in a

605
00:38:45,607 --> 00:38:47,600
remote land. 
You have a man who was living in

606
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:52,200
a Barren, land, a clear picture 
of the Sinners condition. 

607
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:58,900
Auntie, fruitless Baron. 
Let me add wondering just 

608
00:38:58,900 --> 00:39:05,800
wondering Isolated far from the 
King, far from his table, far 

609
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:10,400
from his kindness and even the 
physical location here points to

610
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,000
the spiritual reality, for all 
of those who are outside of 

611
00:39:13,008 --> 00:39:17,700
Jesus Christ. 
And sure in the physical sense. 

612
00:39:17,700 --> 00:39:20,000
You might be in this place 
tonight and you don't know Jesus

613
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,300
Christ, or you think you do and 
you know, some level of 

614
00:39:23,300 --> 00:39:26,100
emotional, he's you are 
surrounded by family and friends

615
00:39:26,100 --> 00:39:29,900
you have more than what you need
in life, your abundantly 

616
00:39:29,900 --> 00:39:32,600
provided for, I'm not talking 
about the physical things. 

617
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:36,600
I'm talking about how these 
things point to a destitution of

618
00:39:36,607 --> 00:39:42,200
the soul, and the hollowness in 
your soul as I speak. 

619
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:47,200
Testifies to that. 
Because my words I'm sure are 

620
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,200
speaking and they are bouncing 
around because there's no 

621
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:54,400
substance in you. 
And I hope that would change 

622
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:58,200
even at a Bible study. 
So what we see here about his 

623
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,300
physical condition and its 
physical location is just a 

624
00:40:01,300 --> 00:40:04,300
wonderful portrait of The 
Sinner. 

625
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:12,100
Who is so lost without the king.
What does David do verse five? 

626
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,600
Then King David sent and brought
him from the house of Mahir, the

627
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:21,300
son of a meal at load, the bar, 
a brother mentioned it. 

628
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,800
Who initiated this? 
David. 

629
00:40:26,500 --> 00:40:30,100
Go get him. 
Go get him. 

630
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:35,500
I don't think David went himself
because we find out that when he

631
00:40:35,500 --> 00:40:37,500
comes. 
Mephibosheth, comes he falls 

632
00:40:37,500 --> 00:40:40,200
before David, he sent out his 
agents, he sent out. 

633
00:40:40,500 --> 00:40:43,900
He sent out the necessary 
Representatives on for him to go

634
00:40:43,900 --> 00:40:47,800
and get the feta Chef. 
It's kind of like today, Jesus 

635
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:52,000
is on his throne and he sending 
you and I to go out to people 

636
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,600
and desolate places. 
Distant places, poor places 

637
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:58,000
spiritually to bring them to the
throne of grace. 

638
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:05,100
And so he sends them. 
And he initiates it this is the 

639
00:41:05,100 --> 00:41:08,700
kindness of God throughout the 
Bible throughout history. 

640
00:41:08,900 --> 00:41:11,700
Even from the beginning, Adam 
and Eve fell, they realize their

641
00:41:11,700 --> 00:41:14,100
nakedness. 
They clothed themselves with fig

642
00:41:14,100 --> 00:41:15,900
leaves and what do they do after
that. 

643
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,800
What do they do? 
They hide they high. 

644
00:41:21,300 --> 00:41:24,800
And as their Sheltering from the
presence of God, we read that 

645
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,500
the Lord walked in the cool of 
the garden. 

646
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,200
Cool of the day, and he calls 
for Adam. 

647
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,500
Where are you? 
He looks for them. 

648
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:38,900
He searches for them, you and I 
are saved tonight because at one

649
00:41:38,900 --> 00:41:45,200
point you were drawn The gospel 
came to you, you were convicted 

650
00:41:45,500 --> 00:41:52,700
it spoke to you and it called 
you to God and you responded to 

651
00:41:52,700 --> 00:41:57,100
that. 
And so he first loved us. 

652
00:41:57,100 --> 00:42:01,900
That's why we can love him. 
He entered into our world. 

653
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,200
He put on flesh, he died a 
gruesome death, when none of us 

654
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,800
asked them to do it. 
Mephibosheth didn't write a 

655
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:13,300
letter to David and have one of 
his men, send it to David so 

656
00:42:13,300 --> 00:42:16,700
that he can, you can maybe work 
out a deal so that he's not he's

657
00:42:16,700 --> 00:42:20,300
not completely cut off. 
No, it's David. 

658
00:42:20,300 --> 00:42:22,400
Who goes out that this is 
David's plan. 

659
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:27,600
And so, while you and I are 
living in and just destitution 

660
00:42:27,900 --> 00:42:32,600
and poverty, spiritually, he 
comes into that place and he 

661
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:36,500
brings us out of it. 
He pulls us out of it, he pulls 

662
00:42:36,500 --> 00:42:41,100
him out of it and he comes. 
And what I want to do for the 

663
00:42:41,100 --> 00:42:44,900
rest of this time is simply look
because there's so much to say 

664
00:42:44,900 --> 00:42:47,800
and I almost feel like I'm doing
an injustice to these verses. 

665
00:42:48,700 --> 00:42:50,700
But what I'm going to do for the
rest of this time you and I 

666
00:42:50,707 --> 00:42:53,600
together are going to look at 
the consequences of the kindness

667
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:57,900
of God in mephibosheth life. 
Meaning, what changed? 

668
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:03,300
What changed from of have a chef
after he comes before David and 

669
00:43:03,300 --> 00:43:06,900
he says, yes to what David is 
willing, how could he not say 

670
00:43:06,900 --> 00:43:10,100
yes? 
And they're really categorized 

671
00:43:10,100 --> 00:43:12,400
in three familiar words to us as
Christians. 

672
00:43:13,300 --> 00:43:20,200
Peace Fellowship, help. 
Peace Fellowship. 

673
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,100
Help. 
Let's read together. 

674
00:43:25,300 --> 00:43:27,000
Verse 6. 
I'm fetish at the son of 

675
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,400
Jonathan son of Saul came to 
David and fell on his face and 

676
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,400
paid homage and David said, 
mephibosheth. 

677
00:43:33,500 --> 00:43:39,500
What do you think that sounded 
like I wonder what it sounded 

678
00:43:39,500 --> 00:43:41,600
like. 
I wonder what the tone was. 

679
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:45,200
I wonder what the delivery was. 
The first thing that David says,

680
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:51,100
was his name, a feather shot. 
And he answered behold, I am 

681
00:43:51,100 --> 00:43:55,000
your servant. 
So while his face is on the 

682
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:59,300
ground, he after he hears his 
name, he goes, I'm your servant 

683
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,000
and look what David says in 
verse 7. 

684
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:05,200
David said to him, three 
important words do not fear. 

685
00:44:06,100 --> 00:44:09,800
Do not fear for, I will show you
kindness for the sake of your 

686
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,100
father. 
Jonathan, and I will restore to 

687
00:44:12,100 --> 00:44:14,900
you all the land of saw your 
father, and you shall eat at my 

688
00:44:14,900 --> 00:44:17,300
table. 
Always peace. 

689
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:24,800
When you and I experience the 
kindness in Jesus Christ, that 

690
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,800
is the moment that redefines are
standing before God, and you, 

691
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:34,100
and I have no reason to ever 
fear God in the sense of yes, we

692
00:44:34,100 --> 00:44:38,200
Revere him as the Bible commands
us to but never in a way. 

693
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,300
Do we relate to him? 
Where we are questioning whether

694
00:44:41,300 --> 00:44:43,500
or not? 
He will judge us like the 

695
00:44:43,500 --> 00:44:48,600
unredeemed that is expelled from
the child of God, when they 

696
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,600
really know. 
Oh the kindness of God because 

697
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,300
the words of David are 
trustworthy, how much more the 

698
00:44:53,300 --> 00:44:55,800
words of the son of David who is
the Christ? 

699
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,400
So trustworthy, he's not one to 
lie. 

700
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:00,900
He's not want to change his 
mind. 

701
00:45:00,900 --> 00:45:03,000
So whatever he says will come to
pass. 

702
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:08,100
I can take it to heart that 
whatever I have here is going to

703
00:45:08,100 --> 00:45:10,200
be true a hundred years from 
now. 

704
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,100
And when I stand Before, the 
Throne of God. 

705
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:18,300
So what you see here is this 
promise of Peace, you are secure

706
00:45:18,300 --> 00:45:22,600
mephibosheth You don't have to 
worry about anything because of 

707
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:26,200
Jonathan. 
I will be perpetually good to 

708
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:28,200
you. 
I will not change. 

709
00:45:28,700 --> 00:45:31,600
I will not flip my mind. 
It's a sealed deal. 

710
00:45:31,700 --> 00:45:36,100
It's done. 
And you and I know that security

711
00:45:36,100 --> 00:45:39,900
in Christ and here's the thing. 
Mephibosheth was so grateful for

712
00:45:39,900 --> 00:45:42,600
this, it's so obvious, you're 
going to realize that later on 

713
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,700
when David is kicked out of his 
own kingdom, who comes on this 

714
00:45:45,700 --> 00:45:49,000
scene to just Express his 
loyalty to him hint. 

715
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:56,600
Mephibosheth But I can't imagine
how much more grateful he was 

716
00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:01,700
when just in a few chapters. 
God is going to Heap up, even 

717
00:46:01,700 --> 00:46:03,800
more judgment on the house of 
Saul. 

718
00:46:05,100 --> 00:46:07,300
Solve did something with the 
gibeonites. 

719
00:46:07,700 --> 00:46:11,800
He broke a very, very important 
Covenant that was made back in 

720
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,900
the Book of Joshua. 
And because he broke that 

721
00:46:14,900 --> 00:46:18,500
promise, many, many years later,
Divine judgment was going to 

722
00:46:18,508 --> 00:46:21,500
come upon his house for it will 
study that in great length, when

723
00:46:21,500 --> 00:46:24,700
we come to that chapter, but 
there's something that happens 

724
00:46:24,900 --> 00:46:28,200
when David realizes there's a 
famine in the land, he seeks. 

725
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:32,100
God, God says, there has to be 
retribution Saul's descendants 

726
00:46:32,100 --> 00:46:34,700
have to pay a price for what 
they did to the gibeonites. 

727
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,600
And then there's this verse you 
have to turn there in second 

728
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,200
Samuel. 
We're still in the same book and

729
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:44,000
go to chapter 21, that's where 
the Judgment takes place. 

730
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:54,100
But look at verse 7 As judgment 
was going to come on some of the

731
00:46:54,100 --> 00:46:57,700
descendants of Saul second, 
Samuel 21-7 reads. 

732
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:04,900
But the king spared who with Eva
chef The king spared 

733
00:47:04,900 --> 00:47:07,300
mephibosheth, the son of Saul's 
Jonathan. 

734
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:11,000
Saul's son, Jonathan because of 
the oath of the Lord that was 

735
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,800
between them. 
Between David and Jonathan, the 

736
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:21,000
son of Saul. 
I wonder what happened to 

737
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,500
mephibosheth heart. 
When he realized that if he had 

738
00:47:24,500 --> 00:47:29,400
not experienced the kindness of 
David, if Jonathan had not made 

739
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:33,000
that oath with David, he would 
have very likely been among 

740
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:37,100
those who were slain You know, I
look at some Christians and I 

741
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:39,200
know they love the Lord. 
I don't want to be judgmental. 

742
00:47:39,500 --> 00:47:42,900
I know they love the Lord, but 
when you tell him the good news,

743
00:47:42,900 --> 00:47:45,100
it sounds to them. 
It sounds like old news, because

744
00:47:45,100 --> 00:47:47,900
the way they react to her speak 
about, it feels like old news. 

745
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,100
I assure you. 
I assure you. 

746
00:47:51,100 --> 00:47:54,100
That when Divine judgment comes,
you're going to in that moment. 

747
00:47:54,100 --> 00:47:55,900
Be really, really happy, you're 
saved. 

748
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:01,300
Then you're going to be able to 
really, really, really sing. 

749
00:48:02,300 --> 00:48:07,600
And really Rejoice, then your 
personality that seems to be 

750
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:11,100
restrictive to your worship is 
not going to really matter. 

751
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:16,500
When you understand? 
The significance of the Covenant

752
00:48:16,500 --> 00:48:23,300
that Christ has made with us. 
Fetish Seth appreciated David 

753
00:48:23,300 --> 00:48:26,400
and this moment but oh, I would 
love to see his face. 

754
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:32,600
When certain descendants of Saul
were numbered to be hung and 

755
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:36,300
they skipped over mephibosheth. 
That's going to happen to you. 

756
00:48:36,308 --> 00:48:38,900
If you're in Christ, judgment is
going to come. 

757
00:48:39,300 --> 00:48:40,900
It's going to come. 
I know it's not popular. 

758
00:48:40,900 --> 00:48:42,800
It's coming. 
That's the message. 

759
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:46,000
Actually of the book of Acts. 
We were told that they were told

760
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,300
to preach about the coming 
judge. 

761
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:53,700
Acts 10 judgment is coming, but 
you and I in Christ are 

762
00:48:53,700 --> 00:48:57,800
protected, we're protected. 
Now, we will be protected then. 

763
00:48:58,900 --> 00:49:03,000
You and I should enjoy that 
security day by day. 

764
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,000
Go back to the chapter. 
We're studying look at verse 11 

765
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:08,500
and look what we're told about, 
mephibosheth. 

766
00:49:11,300 --> 00:49:20,500
In verse 11. 
We see here that David treated 

767
00:49:20,500 --> 00:49:25,500
him as one of the king's Sons. 
I was one of the king's Sons. 

768
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:31,000
Verse 11. 
So mephibosheth ate at David's 

769
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:32,500
table, like one of the king's 
Sons. 

770
00:49:32,500 --> 00:49:35,300
That's how he would be treated. 
Can you imagine the picture 

771
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:37,800
here? 
I don't know if they had a long 

772
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,500
table where all of David's Sons 
were sitting with all the wives 

773
00:49:40,500 --> 00:49:45,900
that he had and here they are 
eating at this, this Royal feast

774
00:49:45,900 --> 00:49:49,700
and there's one out of all of 
them who has broken legs the 

775
00:49:49,700 --> 00:49:52,800
most unlikely, guest at the 
Kings Table. 

776
00:49:54,300 --> 00:49:59,400
I can't imagine the spectacle 
Shirley was, and you and II 

777
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,900
believe according to the 
scriptures, we are a spectacle 

778
00:50:02,900 --> 00:50:07,400
in the sight of Heavenly 
Creatures and even angels, who 

779
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:11,000
know who we are, who know what 
we've done, who know what we 

780
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,700
deserve. 
And yet, we are right there, 

781
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:17,000
fellowshiping with the Lord, not
that, not only that, we are 

782
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:18,500
considered the bride of Christ 
first. 

783
00:50:18,500 --> 00:50:20,800
Peter tells us that this 
salvation is something that 

784
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:25,300
Angels long to look into The 
confounded by it. 

785
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:31,700
How can it be that you would 
treat this family, the family of

786
00:50:31,700 --> 00:50:37,700
Adam as one of your sons? 
And so we see here that there's 

787
00:50:37,700 --> 00:50:41,000
a piece that have heavy that 
fetishes enjoyed, not just the 

788
00:50:41,008 --> 00:50:44,900
piece, the second, prominent 
changes, founded four verses 

789
00:50:44,900 --> 00:50:48,300
verse 7 verse 10 verse 11, verse
13. 

790
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:51,500
I'm not going to read it but 
I'll just tell you in those four

791
00:50:51,500 --> 00:50:56,200
verses we were told repeatedly 
that David had mephibosheth eat 

792
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:59,000
at his table. 
It's almost as though that's 

793
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,100
what the Holy Spirit really 
wants to communicate. 

794
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:05,600
Hey realize that mephibosheth 
has a seat at the table. 

795
00:51:06,300 --> 00:51:11,000
He's actually he's actually 
right there and this meant so 

796
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:16,100
much to the reader of this time 
because you and I eating is not 

797
00:51:16,100 --> 00:51:18,800
really significant. 
We do it on the go we barely 

798
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:21,700
have family dinners anymore but 
at this time, biblically 

799
00:51:21,700 --> 00:51:25,200
speaking, when you would sit at 
a table with somebody and eat it

800
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,800
denote it denoted, close 
Fellowship. 

801
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,900
Intimacy Jesus when he spoke to 
the lukewarm church. 

802
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:36,400
He said, if anyone would answer 
as I knock on this door, I will 

803
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:42,000
come in with him and do what eat
with him Revelation 3:20, I will

804
00:51:42,100 --> 00:51:45,400
eat with you. 
I will sit recline at table and 

805
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:50,000
actually commune with you. 
What we see here is that in the 

806
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:52,500
gospel, we are not just saved 
from wrath. 

807
00:51:52,500 --> 00:51:55,000
We have a seat at the table with
Jesus. 

808
00:51:55,500 --> 00:51:58,000
That's the picture here that you
and I entered. 

809
00:51:58,100 --> 00:52:02,500
Not just into the safety, from 
the wrath of God, but intimacy 

810
00:52:02,500 --> 00:52:05,600
with the Son of God, and we 
enjoy him. 

811
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:07,800
And we love him, and we relate 
to him, and we speak to him. 

812
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:09,900
We pour out to him. 
And he, interacts with us. 

813
00:52:09,900 --> 00:52:11,400
He answers us. 
He heals us. 

814
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,100
He leads us. 
There's something. 

815
00:52:14,100 --> 00:52:17,900
Now that was never known before.
We're no longer at a distance 

816
00:52:17,900 --> 00:52:20,000
anymore, we're no longer in a 
desk to place. 

817
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:22,500
We are now in the very presence 
of Christ. 

818
00:52:22,500 --> 00:52:24,500
Just like my fetish death, 
always. 

819
00:52:25,300 --> 00:52:28,900
Always. 
That is what we have access to 

820
00:52:28,900 --> 00:52:31,500
in the gospel. 
Unfortunately, many professing 

821
00:52:31,500 --> 00:52:34,200
Believers don't experience it, 
but it's something that you and 

822
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:37,800
I can walk in. 
Now Christ can be the closest 

823
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:41,000
person to you in this world. 
I assure you of that he can be 

824
00:52:41,008 --> 00:52:45,100
the most real ever-present 
person that, you know, in this 

825
00:52:45,100 --> 00:52:49,300
life And I'm not satisfied in 
those moments where he's 

826
00:52:49,300 --> 00:52:51,200
distant. 
I know, sometimes he does clothe

827
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:54,000
himself and darkness. 
A scripture says to test our 

828
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:57,200
faith. 
But my heart knows him. 

829
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:01,600
Your heart should know him. 
That gospel purchased that. 

830
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:05,300
If Jesus is just a person that 
you study, you're missing it. 

831
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:08,800
He's to be known. 
He's me relish. 

832
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:13,400
She's to be experienced, you 
know, this is a side note bear 

833
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:16,000
with me because when you 
discover things like I had 

834
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,300
doesn't fit, but I'm just gonna 
throw it out in there anyway. 

835
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:23,100
I really like my fetish F. 
So, you know, for me, a lot of 

836
00:53:23,107 --> 00:53:24,400
the names that I love in the 
Bible. 

837
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:28,100
Our with characters that have 
very complicated names. 

838
00:53:28,700 --> 00:53:30,300
Mephibosheth is one of those 
guys. 

839
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,700
Mephibosheth had his son 
himself. 

840
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:37,200
I think this is important for 
somebody to hear. 

841
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:39,700
So, pay attention, wake up. 
Okay? 

842
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:42,900
Pay attention lean in, what's 
his son's name? 

843
00:53:43,700 --> 00:53:47,700
Anybody know. 
Yeah, Micah in verse 12, 

844
00:53:47,700 --> 00:53:52,800
mephibosheth had a young son 
whose name was Myka Myka Am I 

845
00:53:52,808 --> 00:53:55,400
saying it right? 
Pastor, Daniel Mika. 

846
00:53:56,700 --> 00:54:01,100
I know little bit of Hebrew to 
Mika. 

847
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:03,700
Do you happen to know what that 
name means? 

848
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:12,600
Yes, you're on to it. 
Mija means who is like God. 

849
00:54:14,500 --> 00:54:18,700
Who is like God? 
You know what impresses me about

850
00:54:18,700 --> 00:54:21,200
that, that makes total sense for
you to name your son, who is 

851
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:25,200
like God after you experience 
the kindness of David. but he 

852
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:28,900
didn't name his son, Mika after 
he sat at the table, he named 

853
00:54:28,900 --> 00:54:34,600
his son Mica long before that 
Doesn't that tell you about this

854
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:36,900
man's faith? 
Huh. 

855
00:54:37,500 --> 00:54:41,300
Here's this man who was dropped 
as a child to be crippled 

856
00:54:41,300 --> 00:54:45,800
forever. 
Here's a man who had his father,

857
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:49,700
his grandfather. 
His uncle's slaughtered in war. 

858
00:54:50,500 --> 00:54:52,800
Here's a man who couldn't even 
afford his own house, but had 

859
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:57,200
some Dungey room in a desolate 
destitute place across the 

860
00:54:57,200 --> 00:55:01,200
Jordan and yet he had a faith 
and trust in God, where he can 

861
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:04,900
name his son and every time he 
called him for his rations for 

862
00:55:04,900 --> 00:55:10,900
dinner, he would be minded, who 
is like God, Who is like God? 

863
00:55:12,100 --> 00:55:14,300
You know, we get a little poked 
in life as Christians and we 

864
00:55:14,300 --> 00:55:17,500
wondered if there is a God. 
Is there a god? 

865
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,300
Is there a god? 
I didn't get the promotion that 

866
00:55:20,300 --> 00:55:22,900
I thought I didn't get to go to.
I didn't get the Tesla Model 

867
00:55:22,900 --> 00:55:24,500
that I wanted. 
Is there a God? 

868
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:29,100
Here is a man who has been 
smashed in life. 

869
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:35,500
And yet he could say who is like
God as an act of worship. 

870
00:55:36,700 --> 00:55:39,100
And every time he would relate 
to his son, it would be a moment

871
00:55:39,100 --> 00:55:40,100
of worship. 
I believe. 

872
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:44,500
And this is before Mercy came 
his way. 

873
00:55:44,500 --> 00:55:48,500
This is before he was promoted 
and elevated to such a degree. 

874
00:55:50,100 --> 00:55:53,100
That says something. 
That says something. 

875
00:55:54,300 --> 00:55:58,400
Peace Fellowship. 
Help. 

876
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:01,300
What do I mean by help? 
Those things might be obvious, 

877
00:56:01,500 --> 00:56:05,100
the things that we already 
covered, they're just so strong 

878
00:56:05,100 --> 00:56:07,900
with gospel truth, but this one 
might not be immediately 

879
00:56:07,900 --> 00:56:09,100
perceived. 
And this is where I'm going to 

880
00:56:09,107 --> 00:56:12,500
end. 
Look at verse 9 with me. 

881
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:19,200
Then the king called ziba, Saul 
servant, and set them, all that 

882
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:22,700
belong to us, all, and to all 
his house, I have given to your 

883
00:56:22,700 --> 00:56:26,700
Masters grandson, and you and 
your sons and your servants 

884
00:56:26,700 --> 00:56:30,200
shall till the land for him and 
shall bring in the produce that 

885
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:34,400
your Masters grandson may have 
bread to eat but mephibosheth 

886
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:36,800
your Masters. 
Grandson shall always eat at my 

887
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:41,300
table now ziba had 15 sons and 
20 servants. 

888
00:56:41,500 --> 00:56:48,600
Keep your gospel glasses on. 
Here's What's Happening Here. 

889
00:56:50,900 --> 00:56:55,600
As a result of David's kindness,
he looks at ziba, he calls him 

890
00:56:55,600 --> 00:57:00,000
over, he says Zeba from this 
moment on you're going to relate

891
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:03,100
differently to mephibosheth. 
And here is your new 

892
00:57:03,100 --> 00:57:05,700
responsibilities in your 
relationship to mephibosheth. 

893
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:10,900
You and your son's, because I'm 
giving him all this property. 

894
00:57:11,300 --> 00:57:14,600
You're going to till the land 
till the soil and you're going 

895
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:18,400
to produce the crops so that he 
can profit from it. 

896
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:25,700
Zebra from now on, you will be a
personal and ever-present help. 

897
00:57:27,500 --> 00:57:32,600
To mephibosheth. 
Sound familiar, mephibosheth. 

898
00:57:32,700 --> 00:57:35,600
Here is your inheritance all 
that saw loss? 

899
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:38,500
All that was just kind of left 
in Oblivion. 

900
00:57:38,500 --> 00:57:40,600
I'm bringing it to you now it's 
yours. 

901
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:42,600
Your name is on it. 
Here's your deed. 

902
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:44,900
But my fetish show has a 
problem. 

903
00:57:44,900 --> 00:57:48,800
There's any, what's his problem?
Yeah, he can't walk. 

904
00:57:49,900 --> 00:57:55,400
In his own strength, he cannot 
experience the fullness of his 

905
00:57:55,400 --> 00:58:02,000
inheritance. 
Therefore, the king calls upon a

906
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:05,400
servant to come to mephibosheth 
Aid. 

907
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:10,000
In order to know all that the 
king purchased for him. 

908
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:16,500
And so, what you have here in 
this closed context is ziba 

909
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:21,100
being a very strong reflection 
of the inheritance of the holy 

910
00:58:21,100 --> 00:58:22,300
spirit. 
In the Christians life. 

911
00:58:23,700 --> 00:58:28,200
You cannot know what the king 
wants you to know, if you're 

912
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:32,300
left to your natural condition. 
Just like my fetish who could 

913
00:58:32,300 --> 00:58:37,100
not walk, it would be just as 
pathetic to try to live in all 

914
00:58:37,100 --> 00:58:40,200
the spiritual blessings that 
have been purchased in Christ, 

915
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:45,200
without the aid of the advocate,
in the Holy Spirit, who comes to

916
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:48,500
help us. 
And so, in the same way that the

917
00:58:49,500 --> 00:58:52,800
ziba figure here is now an A2 
mephibosheth. 

918
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:54,300
We have the same thing in the 
Holy Spirit. 

919
00:58:55,300 --> 00:58:58,600
He is there to do what we cannot
do in our own strength. 

920
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:01,800
He is there to empower because 
we lack that power. 

921
00:59:01,900 --> 00:59:04,700
And so you and I now can reach 
Greater Heights, you and I can 

922
00:59:04,700 --> 00:59:08,400
do what we could never do before
this moment, we can walk in 

923
00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:12,500
Holiness, we can enjoy fruit. 
We can profit, we can escape 

924
00:59:12,500 --> 00:59:16,700
spiritual poverty, and actually 
grow in spiritual riches. 

925
00:59:16,700 --> 00:59:20,400
Because of the servant that has 
been commissioned by the king. 

926
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:27,900
Oh, that excites me, that 
excites me because even when you

927
00:59:27,900 --> 00:59:31,400
read, the number of sons and 
servants that ziba had I believe

928
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:35,600
that's two, that's the 
communicate, the great resource 

929
00:59:35,900 --> 00:59:38,800
the overwhelming resource. 
That now, mephibosheth had at 

930
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:40,900
his disposal, all these 
servants. 

931
00:59:40,900 --> 00:59:46,300
All these Sons now are for you. 
Method is Chef Here's the thing,

932
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:51,100
the holy spirit is not just some
idea. 

933
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:57,200
He is rivers of living water 
flowing through Us, Rivers of 

934
00:59:57,200 --> 01:00:01,200
living water flowing through us.
And what we can know about that 

935
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:05,900
is that there is a distinct 
obvious tangible realization of 

936
01:00:05,900 --> 01:00:09,100
his presence in our lives. 
The fetishist life is never 

937
01:00:09,100 --> 01:00:10,700
going to be the same because of 
ziba. 

938
01:00:12,100 --> 01:00:14,700
It's never going to be the same.
He doesn't have to crawl to the 

939
01:00:14,700 --> 01:00:16,900
fridge anymore. 
He doesn't have to go and dig 

940
01:00:16,900 --> 01:00:21,000
with his hands in the fields, 
from this moment on ziba, is 

941
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:24,500
going to do everything that he 
cannot do on his own. 

942
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:27,900
So here's the thing. 
Your call to Holiness your 

943
01:00:27,900 --> 01:00:30,600
called to Joy your call to 
prayer, without ceasing. 

944
01:00:30,700 --> 01:00:32,200
You're called to be a bold 
witness. 

945
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:36,600
You can't do that on your own. 
Neither can I leave me to 

946
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:38,100
myself? 
I will fail. 

947
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:42,600
I will go back to sin. 
I will disappoint My Savior. 

948
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:44,900
I will not boldly stand for 
Christ. 

949
01:00:45,700 --> 01:00:48,200
My spirit will look just like my
fetish at the, in the physical 

950
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:49,700
sense. 
I will just be laying there 

951
01:00:49,700 --> 01:00:53,100
useless. 
But because the servant has been

952
01:00:53,100 --> 01:00:55,900
sent. 
You and I can actually know 

953
01:00:55,900 --> 01:00:57,700
something that we never thought 
we could enjoy. 

954
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:02,000
And here's my charge to do 
because of the reality of the 

955
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:05,700
presence of the Holy Spirit. 
People should be able to look at

956
01:01:05,700 --> 01:01:10,500
us to some degree and say how is
it that you're able to do what 

957
01:01:10,500 --> 01:01:15,300
you're doing knowing that you 
are a flesh like me knowing that

958
01:01:15,300 --> 01:01:17,900
you're a son of Adam just like 
me knowing that you have the 

959
01:01:17,900 --> 01:01:21,200
same nature and you're dealing 
with the same Temptations as me 

960
01:01:21,500 --> 01:01:25,000
and you and I can testify of the
Glorious inheritance in Christ 

961
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:29,300
because he sent a Helper and 
that helper makes all of This 

962
01:01:29,300 --> 01:01:32,500
possible, I remember sitting in 
office with a man that I met 

963
01:01:32,500 --> 01:01:35,600
once, and I never saw him again.
After this, he was brought by a 

964
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:39,400
mutual friend, we sat down this 
was years ago and he was telling

965
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:42,700
me about his life, and it was a 
polluted life. 

966
01:01:42,700 --> 01:01:47,200
It was a filthy life, it was 
just degradation, it was just 

967
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:50,900
vile. and then he looked at me, 
he was a very open and very 

968
01:01:51,500 --> 01:01:55,300
colorful individual and he 
looked at me and he leaned in 

969
01:01:55,308 --> 01:01:59,400
and he goes, you do these 
things, don't you I thought to 

970
01:01:59,408 --> 01:02:01,800
myself, how am I going to say 
this without sounding arrogant? 

971
01:02:02,300 --> 01:02:05,300
How am I going to communicate? 
What Jesus actually can do for 

972
01:02:05,300 --> 01:02:08,000
you without sounding like 
advocating? 

973
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:11,400
Sinless, perfectionism and I 
leaned over and says, brother, 

974
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:12,800
to be honest. 
No. 

975
01:02:13,900 --> 01:02:18,900
No. yeah, before the age of 20 
when I when I was encountered by

976
01:02:18,900 --> 01:02:23,800
Christ, probably I can, I can 
attest to what you're saying, 

977
01:02:24,500 --> 01:02:27,100
but something happened. 
When Jesus changed me. 

978
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:31,300
And he looked at me with utter 
disbelief. 

979
01:02:32,500 --> 01:02:35,500
He goes, what? 
You can't tell me that. 

980
01:02:35,500 --> 01:02:38,700
You're actually you're serious. 
Hey, look at the mutual friend. 

981
01:02:38,700 --> 01:02:40,300
He goes, no, no, you're not 
telling the truth. 

982
01:02:40,300 --> 01:02:42,100
I'm like, what benefit do I 
have? 

983
01:02:42,100 --> 01:02:44,100
Like, I don't know you. 
I'm not asking anything from 

984
01:02:44,100 --> 01:02:45,500
you. 
I'm telling you what Christ can 

985
01:02:45,500 --> 01:02:47,200
do in a life? 
He did it in my life. 

986
01:02:47,300 --> 01:02:49,700
No no you're telling me and he 
started naming these different 

987
01:02:49,700 --> 01:02:52,300
since you're telling me you 
don't do these things. 

988
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:57,100
You're the same age as me. 
You have the same hormones as 

989
01:02:57,100 --> 01:02:58,800
me. 
You have the same Temptations as

990
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:00,100
me. 
You're telling me that you don't

991
01:03:00,100 --> 01:03:02,400
give yourself over these. 
I said, look, man, it's getting 

992
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:04,300
very uncomfortable. 
I don't know how many more times

993
01:03:04,300 --> 01:03:08,900
I gotta tell, you know, because 
that's what the Holy Spirit 

994
01:03:08,900 --> 01:03:11,800
does. 
And then that moment this meant 

995
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:16,000
as though he met an alien. 
Are you from Mars? 

996
01:03:17,300 --> 01:03:22,600
so now I'm a Christian he didn't
say the Mars thing, but he 

997
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:24,500
looked at me as though I was 
from a different planet. 

998
01:03:24,500 --> 01:03:27,800
So, no, this is, this is the 
beauty of being a follower of 

999
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:30,300
Jesus Christ. 
It's not just a ticket to get 

1000
01:03:30,300 --> 01:03:34,600
out of hell, he brings the Holy 
Spirit into you and things 

1001
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:37,500
change, and you're empowered and
you walk different. 

1002
01:03:37,500 --> 01:03:39,200
You see different. 
You have access to different 

1003
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:43,600
things, the fetish of would now 
have ziba in his shadow for the 

1004
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:47,200
rest of his life. 
Well unfortunately the example 

1005
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:49,200
and the illustration of the Holy
Spirit and Ziva is not going to 

1006
01:03:49,207 --> 01:03:53,800
last too long. 
They might conclude here so much

1007
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:55,600
to discover. 
I encourage you go through this 

1008
01:03:55,600 --> 01:04:00,600
chapter yourself and with the 
New Covenant boundaries, look at

1009
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:02,500
this text and try to discover 
things. 

1010
01:04:03,500 --> 01:04:06,200
But look at the response of this
man. 

1011
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:09,100
In verse 6. 
And if that bichette the son of 

1012
01:04:09,100 --> 01:04:12,000
Jonathan, son of Saul came to 
David and fell on his face. 

1013
01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:15,200
And paid homage David said, 
mephibosheth and he answered 

1014
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:20,900
behold, I am your servant. 
That is the appropriate response

1015
01:04:20,900 --> 01:04:25,100
to the kindness of the king. 
When you calls your name, and 

1016
01:04:25,100 --> 01:04:28,700
you realize that the tone of 
your name being declared is a 

1017
01:04:28,700 --> 01:04:34,300
tone of Mercy, compassion. 
And love the reaction, must be 

1018
01:04:34,300 --> 01:04:39,400
what we see here. 
I'm your servant If you're 

1019
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:41,500
calling me the way you're 
calling me, if you're calling me

1020
01:04:41,500 --> 01:04:43,100
into what you're calling me 
into. 

1021
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:47,700
Then even though these legs are 
broken, I will serve you. 

1022
01:04:48,700 --> 01:04:50,600
To the capacity in which I can 
serve you. 

1023
01:04:51,700 --> 01:04:55,200
And I will give to you what you 
ask of me and I will do whatever

1024
01:04:55,200 --> 01:05:02,300
you call me to do. 
And so, your life and mind being

1025
01:05:02,300 --> 01:05:04,300
totally devoted to God in 
service. 

1026
01:05:05,500 --> 01:05:09,500
Is not what we do to tap into 
the kindness of God. 

1027
01:05:09,500 --> 01:05:11,100
It's what we do because we've 
tasted it. 

1028
01:05:12,700 --> 01:05:14,300
It's what we do because we've 
tasted it. 

1029
01:05:15,300 --> 01:05:18,600
And I hope that your energy and 
serving the lord. 

1030
01:05:19,100 --> 01:05:23,200
It's not because you think that 
his kindness fluctuates, but 

1031
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:27,900
because it is so concrete and 
secure and so reliable that you 

1032
01:05:27,900 --> 01:05:29,800
cannot help. 
But just throw yourself at his 

1033
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:36,500
feet and say, oh my king, I'm 
your servant, how can I, how can

1034
01:05:36,500 --> 01:05:39,800
I reserve my service tea? 
I'm yours. 

1035
01:05:40,500 --> 01:05:42,100
I'm Yours. 
Let's pray. 

1036
01:05:53,500 --> 01:06:00,600
Lord, we are overwhelmed by the 
portrait of this text that from 

1037
01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:03,800
corner to corner with every 
detail. 

1038
01:06:09,100 --> 01:06:14,600
Conveys the gospel. 
May it never sound like old news

1039
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:21,500
to us. maybe he realized the 
piece, the hope, the help, the 

1040
01:06:21,500 --> 01:06:29,100
fellowship that we have, because
the King has decided to execute 

1041
01:06:29,100 --> 01:06:34,100
kindness. 
To the most undeserving race. 

1042
01:06:35,700 --> 01:06:39,700
Adams Race. and then we just 
pray that even if there's one 

1043
01:06:39,700 --> 01:06:47,400
person in this house, He does 
not realize what Christ has done

1044
01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:50,600
on their behalf, that today, it 
would change. 

1045
01:06:51,700 --> 01:06:55,200
And they would gladly fall 
before your throne. 

1046
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:58,800
Knowing what Jesus is done on 
their behalf. 

1047
01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:04,300
Trusting that you are more than 
willing to invite them to your 

1048
01:07:04,300 --> 01:07:08,700
table. 
And provide them that which 

1049
01:07:08,700 --> 01:07:12,200
nothing in this world can offer.
Oh Lord. 

1050
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:15,900
We just pray that as we sing to 
you. we would sing with the 

1051
01:07:15,900 --> 01:07:19,900
revelation of how you have 
preserved us from Wrath, and how

1052
01:07:19,900 --> 01:07:24,200
you have provided for us. 
Not just in this age, but in the

1053
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:29,300
coming ages. 
The immeasurable Grace and 

1054
01:07:29,300 --> 01:07:31,700
kindness. 
That is toward us in Christ 

1055
01:07:31,700 --> 01:07:34,900
Jesus. 
We bless you in Jesus name. 

1056
01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:36,300
Amen. 
Amen. 

1057
01:07:33,700 --> 01:07:35,600
We bless you in Jesus name. 
Amen. 

1058
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:36,300
Amen.
