1 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,200 Thank God for his inexpressible gift. 2 00:00:11,300 --> 00:00:15,800 Tonight, I want to draw your attention to one of the most 3 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:23,200 profound declarations. And promises regarding the death 4 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:29,300 of the Lord, Jesus Christ. And if properly understood, if 5 00:00:29,300 --> 00:00:37,000 truly believed on, it has the power to exterminate every and 6 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,800 any hindrance in the believing heart. 7 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:48,900 From experiencing all that God has to offer concerning the 8 00:00:48,900 --> 00:00:54,000 Blessed Fellowship that Jesus Christ has purchased for us. 9 00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,300 Yes, this one statement that I'm going to quote to you that can 10 00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:05,000 be shared in one. Breath has such immeasurable 11 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,400 force a force that explosively exalts, the person of Jesus 12 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:17,200 Christ silences, every lie and fear regarding your standing 13 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:22,300 before. God And motivates the believer 14 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,900 to live a holy Life all at the same time. 15 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:33,200 How is it that one single verse can unleash such blessings? 16 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,300 What is it that these 16 words that the Holy Spirit has 17 00:01:38,300 --> 00:01:40,400 recorded for us in our own language? 18 00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:43,200 What is it about? Those words that can provide 19 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:56,700 such power Hebrews 10:14. For by a single offering. he has 20 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:05,000 perfected for all time those who are being sanctified For by a 21 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,400 single offering, he has perfected for all time. 22 00:02:11,100 --> 00:02:17,800 Those who are being Sanctified allow me this evening to present 23 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,600 you at least two glorious thoughts from this one, single 24 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,700 statement. And the first thought that I 25 00:02:25,700 --> 00:02:29,500 want to bring to your mind and hopefully will reach your heart. 26 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,800 Is the sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice. 27 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:40,900 For by a single offering this offering is not referring to the 28 00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:46,400 thousands upon thousands of sacrifices of beasts that were 29 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,100 performed by the hands of a pointed priest. 30 00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:52,400 During the Covenant that God is established with the nation of 31 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,800 Israel. Know this author who is 32 00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:00,600 obviously a scholar in the law in the Hebrew scriptures. 33 00:03:02,100 --> 00:03:05,200 He is speaking about a unique kind of sacrifice. 34 00:03:06,100 --> 00:03:09,200 He is speaking here about something that is inaugurated a 35 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,000 New Covenant. A covenant that you and I are 36 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,600 remembering today. I hope that every person in here 37 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,500 is enjoying today and even beyond that, perhaps someone 38 00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:24,900 will enter into today. When you look at this sacrifice, 39 00:03:24,900 --> 00:03:27,600 this author is speaking about something that the great 40 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,600 prophets have foretold the Jeremiah's, the ezekiel's and 41 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,500 many others have pointed to this one offering. 42 00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:38,800 And although, this offering is speaking about a physical 43 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:44,500 sacrifice. The world has never known an act 44 00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:48,800 of worship concerning the object of this sacrifice. 45 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,700 The best of bulls and goats have been slain and they have been 46 00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:58,800 placed on many altars and sadly, the blood of men and even 47 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:04,000 children have been shed by misguided and deceived 48 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,600 worshippers of false gods. But this single offering that we 49 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:14,400 are speaking of tonight deals with a sinless, man. 50 00:04:15,700 --> 00:04:20,600 Not that a son of Adam has been able to attain and maintain 51 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,300 internal and external moral perfection. 52 00:04:23,300 --> 00:04:27,500 No, that is not the case at all because this man that we are 53 00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:31,900 speaking of who was sinless, was, in fact, God, incarnate, 54 00:04:32,900 --> 00:04:39,600 God, who became man, God, who took on flesh and this God who 55 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:46,200 became, Man, became an offering. He became a sacrifice. 56 00:04:47,500 --> 00:04:51,300 How can it be? How can it be that God would 57 00:04:51,300 --> 00:04:53,100 become Men One? How can it be that God would 58 00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:58,900 become men with the intent of dying and to Die For What? 59 00:05:00,100 --> 00:05:04,600 And to shed his blood, for what? Well, this is precisely what we 60 00:05:04,608 --> 00:05:06,900 are going to look at. Can I give you the simple answer 61 00:05:06,900 --> 00:05:10,700 tonight? The simple answer to that grand 62 00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:13,000 question and series of questions connected to it? 63 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:19,200 Is this because the justice of God required it and there was 64 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,200 only one person who can satisfy it. 65 00:05:24,100 --> 00:05:27,600 Let me prove that to you and the very same chapter that I quoted 66 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:32,500 that glorious statement from we are told in Hebrews 10 and verse 67 00:05:32,500 --> 00:05:39,600 5 consequently when Christ came into the world, he said Look, 68 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:44,100 what Jesus said when Christ came into the world, he said 69 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:49,000 sacrifices and offerings, you have not desired. 70 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:54,500 But a body. Have you prepared for me and 71 00:05:54,500 --> 00:05:56,900 burnt offerings and sin offerings? 72 00:05:57,100 --> 00:06:02,600 You have taken no pleasure. The Holy Spirit. 73 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,600 Informs us that Jesus quoted a psalm. 74 00:06:07,100 --> 00:06:11,100 And he used these words in direct communication with the 75 00:06:11,100 --> 00:06:13,800 father. Oh, I pray that your heart would 76 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,300 be open and hungry to understand what this reveals. 77 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:23,700 God has indeed decreed and commanded to a nation to uphold 78 00:06:23,700 --> 00:06:29,900 an honor specific and elaborate rules concerning sacrifices. 79 00:06:29,900 --> 00:06:33,200 Animal, sacrifices blood sacrifices grain, offerings 80 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,600 different sorts. But based on what Jesus is 81 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:41,800 saying here is that such Acts were never God's ultimate will 82 00:06:41,900 --> 00:06:46,200 or conclusive plan in dealing with the fall of humanity. 83 00:06:47,500 --> 00:06:50,500 God has always had in mind. God is always from eternity, 84 00:06:50,500 --> 00:06:56,700 past had a more complete and a more effective execution against 85 00:06:56,700 --> 00:07:00,800 sin and death and it is found in one thing. 86 00:07:01,700 --> 00:07:07,900 The Blessed body of the son of God The second person of the 87 00:07:07,900 --> 00:07:13,200 Triune godhead becoming a man, this is what God always had in 88 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,500 mind and everything that he instituted before that was just 89 00:07:17,700 --> 00:07:21,400 pointing to this. And they also testified of their 90 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:27,300 inadequacy to actually satisfy this whole sin issue that you 91 00:07:27,300 --> 00:07:29,800 and I are very familiar with, in our own lives and are seeing 92 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,700 destroy our world, even our own Nation day by day. 93 00:07:35,300 --> 00:07:41,600 God, desired a specific body. And that body would come from 94 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:48,000 his son who lived with him, coexisted and has all the same. 95 00:07:49,500 --> 00:07:52,700 God like attributes, but would one day enter into our world 96 00:07:52,700 --> 00:07:57,400 because God has prepared a body for him to take on and we can be 97 00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,800 satisfied with that alone. If God desired and he willed 98 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,400 that, then we can just praise God for it. 99 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,900 But oh, he has given us glimpses of wisdom into why? 100 00:08:03,900 --> 00:08:10,500 That is the case. Why a body, why become man, why 101 00:08:10,500 --> 00:08:15,500 Escape glory and enter into a world that would hate him and 102 00:08:15,500 --> 00:08:17,900 despised him and reject them. Why? 103 00:08:18,900 --> 00:08:21,700 One of my favorite titles concerning the person of Jesus 104 00:08:21,700 --> 00:08:25,100 Christ is not a very familiar one, but it is packed with 105 00:08:25,100 --> 00:08:29,600 implication packed with power packed, with Glory. 106 00:08:31,100 --> 00:08:37,000 The last Adam, First Corinthians 15:45, Jesus is referred to, by 107 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:44,000 Paul as the last Adam, what does Jesus have in common with Adam? 108 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:49,000 Why give him such an identity. Why would the Holy Spirit? 109 00:08:49,900 --> 00:08:54,000 Bring us to that place of meditating on the aspect of 110 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,900 Jesus, that is connected with our first parent. 111 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,900 And the only thing that you can say about the strongest 112 00:09:01,900 --> 00:09:05,400 characteristic that these two shared Adam, and Jesus Christ, 113 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:11,300 is this that they both operated as Representatives here on Earth 114 00:09:11,300 --> 00:09:15,500 for Humanity. Adam being created. 115 00:09:15,500 --> 00:09:22,100 First was appointed by God to be the federal head of mankind. 116 00:09:23,100 --> 00:09:26,300 This is a system that God has created and what that 117 00:09:26,300 --> 00:09:30,700 essentially means is that, in great measure, what Adam has 118 00:09:30,700 --> 00:09:35,300 done would have effect on those, who would come from Adam, who 119 00:09:35,300 --> 00:09:39,400 would descend from him. And because, Adam, as the 120 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,400 representative mankind before God did not represent us. 121 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,800 Well, we now share in the consequences of his failure. 122 00:09:48,900 --> 00:09:52,200 And because of that, we have been borned and we have been 123 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,600 birthed into a sin nature inclined to rebel. 124 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,900 And disobey the same God that he turned his back on in the 125 00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:04,400 garden. That is why we all have that 126 00:10:04,900 --> 00:10:07,400 disposition. That is why we have we have that 127 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,400 sense of being drawn towards that which God tells us not to 128 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,600 do. It's because we are born. 129 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,800 We are wired this way due to Adam. 130 00:10:16,900 --> 00:10:19,000 And if you want to know more about that just read Romans 131 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,700 chapter 5, Paul explains that in great detail. 132 00:10:21,900 --> 00:10:27,100 How by one man, many have been made transgressors And so we 133 00:10:27,100 --> 00:10:28,700 look at this and we think to ourselves. 134 00:10:28,700 --> 00:10:30,600 Okay well I understand that about Adam but what does that 135 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,300 have to do with Jesus Christ while in honoring his own system 136 00:10:34,300 --> 00:10:37,000 and god-honoring the very thing that he's established from the 137 00:10:37,008 --> 00:10:40,000 beginning. He institute's a plan a plan 138 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:45,000 that he is, of course, always known a plan in creating a new 139 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,000 line of people. A new breed, a new family. 140 00:10:49,500 --> 00:10:53,400 And in this family, what would happen was a door, would be open 141 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:59,000 for people to escape the line of Adam, which is a line Preparing 142 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,600 People for condemnation. And to now be connected to a new 143 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:09,100 family that carries Redemptive qualities and Promises. 144 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:16,600 And as amazing as that news is such a thing will require 145 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:23,100 something very important, very crucial impossible without may I 146 00:11:23,100 --> 00:11:25,900 add and that is a new federal head. 147 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,000 That is a new representation for mankind. 148 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,700 And what Paul does and what many of the authors do in the New 149 00:11:34,700 --> 00:11:39,000 Testament, with the prophets promise and pointed to is that 150 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:45,300 Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Is that man, he is that man who 151 00:11:45,300 --> 00:11:51,500 came into this world with a much bigger project in mind than what 152 00:11:51,500 --> 00:11:54,200 even some Believers fail to understand. 153 00:11:55,100 --> 00:11:58,500 He came to now be the firstborn among many brothers. 154 00:11:59,500 --> 00:12:04,800 He came Now to create a way out and for us to come into a new 155 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,100 place, a new nature, a new standing before the same. 156 00:12:08,100 --> 00:12:10,500 Holy God. The same. 157 00:12:10,500 --> 00:12:13,200 Holy God, that was sinned against him. 158 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,500 The garden. Can now be satisfied through 159 00:12:16,500 --> 00:12:18,400 this one person. Jesus Christ. 160 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,000 What does that mean practically? What does it mean for Christ to 161 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,400 enter in as the last Adam Well means many things. 162 00:12:27,500 --> 00:12:31,300 Let me say this one important thing in the same way that we 163 00:12:31,300 --> 00:12:36,100 all inherited the effects that we all now are experiencing the 164 00:12:36,100 --> 00:12:41,400 consequences of atoms failure at the tree of the knowledge of 165 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:46,000 good and evil evil. Now who comes on the scene, a 166 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:53,200 new representation, a new mediator, Who doesn't fail like 167 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,400 Adam did but who triumphs at another tree? 168 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,700 Not the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil know, the tree 169 00:13:00,700 --> 00:13:02,800 that was on the hill called Golgotha. 170 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,200 The tree that you and I sang about just a few moments ago 171 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:12,400 that tree on Calvary. Everything started at a tree, 172 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:17,100 the fall began at a tree and everything turned around at 173 00:13:17,100 --> 00:13:23,000 another Tree by another Federal head. in other words because 174 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:31,100 Jesus Christ took on a body that was prepared and appointed by 175 00:13:31,100 --> 00:13:37,000 the father The same way that we have to experience what Adam did 176 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,200 in his body. Now we can enjoy what Jesus did 177 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,800 in his body and what happened to his body. 178 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,700 For those who are in Christ, there's a transfer that occurs. 179 00:13:51,700 --> 00:13:56,400 An amazing transfer. This is what happens that 180 00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:03,200 through the currency of faith. Through belief through humbling 181 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,900 yourself and realizing that you do need to be saved. 182 00:14:07,500 --> 00:14:09,700 There is this exchange that takes place? 183 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:18,100 And in that exchange Adams headship is canceled and Christ 184 00:14:18,100 --> 00:14:21,800 Perfection is imputed unto you instead. 185 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,600 What happens is now in that exchange, as Christ represents 186 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,800 us. We now give him our sin. 187 00:14:33,100 --> 00:14:38,300 And then he who knew no sin became sin, so that in him, we 188 00:14:38,300 --> 00:14:41,200 might become the righteousness of God. 189 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:47,300 That's the gospel. That's the centrality of what we 190 00:14:47,300 --> 00:14:50,600 believe. This is the significance of 191 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:55,900 Jesus taking on a body. It wasn't a random stunt, it was 192 00:14:55,900 --> 00:15:00,900 required in order for God to be consistent with his own system, 193 00:15:01,300 --> 00:15:07,400 his own Justice And that is a fascinating thought, God, 194 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:13,400 becoming a man but be careful. Be careful that in being so 195 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,200 overwhelmed. By that amazing Act of humility 196 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,100 that you dismiss. The reality of the Divinity of 197 00:15:20,100 --> 00:15:25,300 Christ, when Christ became a man, he did not dismiss. 198 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,600 His divine nature know. His divine nature was equally 199 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,300 required as he stepped in as the last Adam. 200 00:15:33,300 --> 00:15:37,600 And why is that? Because no mere man can even 201 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,000 come close to performing the Perfection that Jesus performed. 202 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,600 No mere man can obey God and fulfill the greatest commandment 203 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,200 to love him with all of your heart, with all of your mind, 204 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,800 with all of your strength with all of your soul. 205 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,900 I want you to think about that for a moment, Jesus. 206 00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:01,800 Obeyed that commandment perfectly with every waking 207 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,000 moment, he obeyed that commandment. 208 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:13,900 And no mere man. No mere man can even fathom what 209 00:16:13,900 --> 00:16:17,500 it means to Bear the sin of the world. 210 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:24,300 Every failure, every error, every perversion every internal 211 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:30,600 crime external violation from the beginning Until the End 212 00:16:30,700 --> 00:16:37,000 Christ took upon his shoulders and because of that he was able 213 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,000 to drink all of the wrath of God for yesterday today and 214 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,600 tomorrow. No mere man can do that. 215 00:16:46,500 --> 00:16:51,200 So, the nature of God not just in his Humanity to be the last 216 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:58,500 Adam, but also remaining as God is the perfect is the perfect 217 00:16:58,500 --> 00:17:01,700 combination. That would satisfy exactly what 218 00:17:02,100 --> 00:17:04,300 we all need. And that is why. 219 00:17:04,300 --> 00:17:09,700 When people ask this question, how can a man who is crucified 220 00:17:10,300 --> 00:17:13,900 for about a few hours apparently satisfy? 221 00:17:14,300 --> 00:17:17,900 What is demanded? Of all of us and that is eternal 222 00:17:17,900 --> 00:17:20,800 punishment for our sin. How does that correlate? 223 00:17:21,500 --> 00:17:25,900 How does the math work? And if you think that, that man 224 00:17:25,900 --> 00:17:30,900 was just a good man, A man who seemed to be, maybe a little bit 225 00:17:30,900 --> 00:17:33,800 better than others than you might have a valid objection. 226 00:17:34,900 --> 00:17:38,100 But if that man is the sinless Spotless. 227 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:45,300 Eternal. Without blemish without error, 228 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,400 without wrong. Then you have a different story 229 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,600 altogether. Then you can understand how it 230 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:57,700 is that such a man could be on the cross for a few hours to 231 00:17:57,700 --> 00:18:00,900 satisfy the wrath of God forever and ever. 232 00:18:02,100 --> 00:18:06,600 You understand, right? The identity of Christ helps us 233 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,900 understand the very first statement of that verse that I 234 00:18:08,908 --> 00:18:15,700 quoted to you earlier for by a single offering who Jesus is 235 00:18:15,700 --> 00:18:20,500 makes this offering single and all satisfying. 236 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,800 It's not just merely the act of dying. 237 00:18:25,900 --> 00:18:29,800 Its who died? It's who died? 238 00:18:31,500 --> 00:18:34,800 And there is no more need because of who died for repeated 239 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,900 incarnations. There is now no more need for 240 00:18:38,900 --> 00:18:43,600 repeated bloodshed. Because of who Jesus Christ is 241 00:18:43,700 --> 00:18:49,300 what he has done is enough. One time for all time. 242 00:18:51,700 --> 00:18:53,900 And that is why he is the last Adam. 243 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,200 We don't have to wait for another. 244 00:18:58,300 --> 00:19:01,100 We don't have to wait another representative to enter into our 245 00:19:01,100 --> 00:19:04,700 world to clean up this mess. He put a period mark. 246 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,400 Through his Redemptive work, it's over. 247 00:19:08,700 --> 00:19:11,100 And while other religions are waiting for their own Messiah, 248 00:19:11,100 --> 00:19:16,200 we here today, realize he has already come We're not looking 249 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,000 forward to Redemption though. We are waiting for our 250 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,900 Redemption to be complete. It is finished. 251 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:31,100 For by a single offering. What a thousand bulls and goats 252 00:19:31,100 --> 00:19:36,400 and birds as mountainous as those offerings, may have been, 253 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,700 what one man did? Overshadowed at all. 254 00:19:40,700 --> 00:19:44,600 What one man did. Put everything into the back 255 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,900 burner and now takes all the glory and all the honor and all 256 00:19:48,900 --> 00:19:52,000 the praise. Can I tell you something in a 257 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,900 very confused age, where people are trying to figure out 258 00:19:55,900 --> 00:19:59,600 identity, whether that is the color of your skin and what that 259 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,200 means for you and society. And now with the people who are 260 00:20:02,208 --> 00:20:06,000 being confused about what their orientation is and whether they 261 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,400 are biologically, this or biologically, that allow me to 262 00:20:09,500 --> 00:20:12,300 It could very simple because God's word makes it very clear. 263 00:20:12,500 --> 00:20:19,000 There are only two categories of people in this world only to not 264 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:25,300 white or black not rich, or poor Not educated, or uneducated not 265 00:20:25,300 --> 00:20:29,300 confused or straight. You're either in Adam. 266 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:36,100 Or you're in Christ, that's it. Think whatever you want to 267 00:20:36,108 --> 00:20:39,700 think. Go ahead, establish your own 268 00:20:39,700 --> 00:20:42,700 subjective, understanding of the world, but may I suggest 269 00:20:42,700 --> 00:20:45,500 something take a peek at our world first before you give in 270 00:20:45,500 --> 00:20:48,800 to that. And realize that this word has 271 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,000 always been the word of God. It will always be the word of 272 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,600 God when I'm gone and Pastor Daniel is gone and every other 273 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:58,100 church is gone, this war will be established forever. and this 274 00:20:58,100 --> 00:21:02,800 word declares my friend, our dear visitors, those who are 275 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,500 members of this very local church, you are, either in Adam 276 00:21:07,900 --> 00:21:12,900 Or you are in Christ. Who is your representative? 277 00:21:13,900 --> 00:21:17,200 Who is your federal head? Who is that represents you 278 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,500 before? God Oh, that's a statement that 279 00:21:21,500 --> 00:21:24,200 can end this whole meeting cannot but that's not the end of 280 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,900 the verse for by a single offering. 281 00:21:28,300 --> 00:21:33,900 He has perfected for all time those who are being Sanctified. 282 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,800 The first part of that statement tells us about the sufficiency 283 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,900 of Jesus sacrifice, but the second part of that statement, 284 00:21:43,500 --> 00:21:49,000 informs us about the security of the believing saint. 285 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,800 For by a single offering. Here's the consequence. 286 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:59,700 He has perfected for all time. Those who are being sanctified. 287 00:22:01,100 --> 00:22:05,100 Notice because of that offering there is a certain group of 288 00:22:05,100 --> 00:22:08,900 people who have now been qualified to be in the presence 289 00:22:08,900 --> 00:22:13,900 of God forever. There are now a people who 290 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:19,200 positionally speaking had had their record of debt vanquished 291 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,500 and were made. Absolutely, and totally perfect 292 00:22:23,500 --> 00:22:26,200 in the site. Of a Thrice. 293 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,200 Holy God. This is exactly what the 294 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,200 statement is saying and most of us understand that most of us in 295 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,700 here here to remember that and to worship God for that. 296 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,500 But I believe in the bottom of my heart that those who even 297 00:22:40,500 --> 00:22:44,200 confess that truth, many of them have trouble, believing it with 298 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,500 absolute certainty with absolute certainty. 299 00:22:47,500 --> 00:22:50,400 You might be wondering, why is that the case for one main 300 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,100 reason? Because they examine their own 301 00:22:54,100 --> 00:22:56,600 lives, and they realize that their own attitudes and many of 302 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,900 their actions fail to reflect that. 303 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,500 That perfect standing that they've been assured of in this 304 00:23:02,500 --> 00:23:06,700 one verse and many other verses. I hope that if you're a 305 00:23:06,708 --> 00:23:11,300 Christian in this place, you can recall the first few steps of 306 00:23:11,300 --> 00:23:16,300 being born again that you can remember the sensation of having 307 00:23:16,300 --> 00:23:20,400 fellowship with God, when you realize that he has forgiven you 308 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,200 and that he extends grace to you. 309 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:28,000 I hope believer that you can recall the aroma of assurance. 310 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,900 When you first were exposed to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and 311 00:23:32,900 --> 00:23:36,900 your faith connected with that truth, I hope you have a 312 00:23:36,908 --> 00:23:41,900 testimony and you realize the lightness and you realize the 313 00:23:41,900 --> 00:23:46,500 freedom and you realize the enjoyment of Walking with God 314 00:23:46,500 --> 00:23:50,700 not in heaven now because of what happened on the cross. 315 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,100 But you know what? I found to be true as an 316 00:23:54,100 --> 00:23:58,900 observation that even people who once rejoiced in that experience 317 00:23:58,900 --> 00:24:04,600 and that reality overtime, tend not to know it as much as they 318 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,500 should. Or at least they distance 319 00:24:07,500 --> 00:24:12,100 themselves from that truth, that should produce a way of life 320 00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:14,500 that should produce a tangible Joy. 321 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,200 And I think there are a couple of reasons why I think one of 322 00:24:18,208 --> 00:24:22,300 those reasons is that once the excitement and the thrill of the 323 00:24:22,300 --> 00:24:25,600 Gospel being believed on settles down though, it should never 324 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,300 totally be removed as we walk in this journey. 325 00:24:29,300 --> 00:24:33,200 And we realize that it's not just about this height enjoy. 326 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,400 But now there's war and there is a spiritual battle and you're 327 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,500 dealing with the flesh. Some people are robbed of that 328 00:24:40,500 --> 00:24:44,300 Assurance because Satan never fails to remind them of his sin 329 00:24:44,300 --> 00:24:47,700 before they came to Christ. East or season of transgression 330 00:24:47,700 --> 00:24:51,300 before they came to Christ. They are haunted by a perversion 331 00:24:51,300 --> 00:24:53,900 that they have committed or serious error. 332 00:24:53,900 --> 00:24:58,700 That that seems to be absolutely unforgivable humanly speaking. 333 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,300 And for others, it's not necessarily what they did before 334 00:25:04,300 --> 00:25:07,500 Christ that keeps surfacing in their minds eye. 335 00:25:07,500 --> 00:25:11,000 No no no it's not that. It's their failures. 336 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:16,500 After they came to know Christ. It's their shortcomings that 337 00:25:16,500 --> 00:25:19,700 trouble them after they confess after they'd gone to the baptism 338 00:25:19,700 --> 00:25:22,800 Booth after that they have shared after that, they have 339 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,500 come to be part of a certain Ministry. 340 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,000 And at some point maybe even for a season. 341 00:25:29,500 --> 00:25:32,400 Have not been as faithful as they once professed to be. 342 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,300 That is who I want to speak to tonight, as we are about to 343 00:25:37,300 --> 00:25:41,100 close in a moment. This is who I want to address. 344 00:25:41,700 --> 00:25:45,500 The one who is absolutely drained by doubt. 345 00:25:46,500 --> 00:25:50,600 The one who cannot find the strength to sing at least with a 346 00:25:50,608 --> 00:25:56,300 melody in your heart. The one who lives in fear at the 347 00:25:56,300 --> 00:26:00,400 thought of the return of Christ, instead of the anticipation that 348 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,100 a bride would have concerning her wedding day. 349 00:26:04,100 --> 00:26:09,500 I want to address this truth to you and this is what I want to 350 00:26:09,500 --> 00:26:12,500 address to you for by a single offering. 351 00:26:13,700 --> 00:26:19,900 He has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified 352 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,900 Consider that. Consider that promise is being 353 00:26:25,900 --> 00:26:31,800 told to Christians who have not arrived at complete. 354 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,800 Christlikeness, but who are on their way there. 355 00:26:35,500 --> 00:26:38,500 Who have not achieved sinless perfectionism. 356 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,300 But who are being made holy day by day even though they may not 357 00:26:43,300 --> 00:26:45,800 perceive the progress day by day. 358 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,000 The whole point here of what the author of Hebrews is saying is 359 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:56,200 that you have been perfected, not those who are perfect but 360 00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:01,300 those who are being sanctified those who are submitting to God 361 00:27:01,300 --> 00:27:06,000 and allowing him to Chisel them and warn them and chastise them. 362 00:27:08,500 --> 00:27:14,000 And that Perfection is not based on your sanctification. 363 00:27:14,500 --> 00:27:17,600 How holy you are, how consecrated are how good you did 364 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,700 in 2023 so far? It's by that single offering. 365 00:27:22,700 --> 00:27:26,700 It's the single offering that makes you perfect not how often 366 00:27:26,700 --> 00:27:29,400 you are growing in your sanctification. 367 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,100 So that is a great Mark that you have been saved. 368 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,800 And I think about that truth and I realized, okay, this is the 369 00:27:36,900 --> 00:27:41,700 only question I have to ask this is the thing that hopefully will 370 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:46,400 crush the doubts in my heart that will give me the ability to 371 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:51,600 sing with Outburst of joy and that will that will truly 372 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:55,400 generate and motivate absolute consecration to the Lord at 373 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,200 least as a desire. Here's the question that I asked 374 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,300 and this is a question that I believe you need to ask. 375 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,200 All you have to do is answer this. 376 00:28:05,300 --> 00:28:13,800 Was his sacrifice sufficient? Yeah. 377 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:19,600 But but no but you don't know but you do understand what it 378 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,700 was. No I'm not no no answer this 379 00:28:21,700 --> 00:28:26,800 question for me was his sacrifice sufficient? 380 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,300 And if you can be honest, enough based on what you see in this 381 00:28:32,300 --> 00:28:38,200 word to say, yes. Then why are you afraid? 382 00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:44,700 And why do you doubt? And why do you concern yourself 383 00:28:44,700 --> 00:28:46,500 in night? Wondering, if your name is, in 384 00:28:46,500 --> 00:28:48,800 fact written in the Lamb's Book of Life? 385 00:28:50,300 --> 00:28:55,700 It's not about your performance. It's about his It's not about 386 00:28:55,700 --> 00:28:58,600 what you can do, it's what he's already done. 387 00:29:00,900 --> 00:29:05,200 It's not what lengths you go to or how long you pray or how much 388 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,700 scripture you memorize know it's by a single offering. 389 00:29:10,100 --> 00:29:11,600 It's not by the blood that you can shed. 390 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,200 It's not about the bruises that you have on your knees. 391 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,400 It's not about the lashes on your back. 392 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,500 It's not about how hungry you can make yourself. 393 00:29:18,500 --> 00:29:22,100 As you fast, it's not about how much you distance yourself from 394 00:29:22,100 --> 00:29:25,000 people because you don't want to be contaminated by worldliness 395 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,400 per se. It's about that single offering. 396 00:29:29,700 --> 00:29:33,600 Was it sufficient? Did it complete, what it needed 397 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,400 to complete that? It satisfy? 398 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:42,400 Who it needed to satisfy? and if you can say, yes, Then I 399 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,800 can say, behold your strength. And I can say, behold your 400 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:52,900 security, then I can say, behold your song. then I can say, 401 00:29:52,900 --> 00:30:01,100 behold your joy and your reason and motivation to be holy To be 402 00:30:01,100 --> 00:30:04,300 set apart. To be sanctified. 403 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,300 You know, there's a lot of debate about the Sabbath. 404 00:30:10,300 --> 00:30:14,300 Do we keep it is a relevant. Is that applying the New 405 00:30:14,300 --> 00:30:15,400 Covenant? Okay. 406 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,300 If it is what day of the week, do we do it? 407 00:30:18,300 --> 00:30:20,700 Friday, Sundown to sundown to Saturday Sundown, Sunday 408 00:30:20,700 --> 00:30:22,000 morning, all these different things. 409 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,700 And I don't want to undermine the importance of that kind of a 410 00:30:24,700 --> 00:30:28,700 conversation. But people who get caught up in 411 00:30:28,700 --> 00:30:34,900 that debate can miss the point. Just like the sacrifices were a 412 00:30:34,900 --> 00:30:37,700 shadow pointing to something that ultimately found its 413 00:30:37,700 --> 00:30:39,400 substance substance. In Jesus Christ. 414 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,900 It is no different with the Sabbath. 415 00:30:43,500 --> 00:30:44,600 See the Sabbath? Yes. 416 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:48,400 Was a actual command that people needed to keep but the Sabbath 417 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,200 was a prophetic statement as well. 418 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,500 One that would point to a future rest. 419 00:30:55,500 --> 00:30:59,500 A rest that would not be known once a week but arrest that 420 00:30:59,500 --> 00:31:03,700 would be known perpetually day by day. 421 00:31:04,900 --> 00:31:08,200 And not from work from your 925 per se. 422 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,400 Not from your personal projects which you had to put on pause as 423 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,000 you honor the Sabbath. No. 424 00:31:15,100 --> 00:31:19,000 But by different kind of work. I work that you and I are 425 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,300 tempted to do more than to work an extra shift on a day in which 426 00:31:23,300 --> 00:31:26,100 you should consecrate it to worship God, more than that. 427 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,400 Let me prove that to you in a final text in Hebrews and 428 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:40,700 Hebrews 4 verse 9. So then and Hebrews 49. 429 00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:48,100 So then there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. for 430 00:31:48,100 --> 00:31:53,800 whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works 431 00:31:53,800 --> 00:32:02,400 as God did from his Hebrews 4. Is teaching with the Sabbath 432 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:06,400 really is all about and yes, Paul gives Specific Instructions 433 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,000 about how some consider one day holding others, don't and not to 434 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,800 judge each other based on that conviction. 435 00:32:12,900 --> 00:32:14,500 But here we see the Hebrews who something. 436 00:32:14,500 --> 00:32:17,600 So masterful, so beautiful, so awesome. 437 00:32:18,100 --> 00:32:22,600 The Sabbath speaks of God's rest and there is a rest that is 438 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,400 available for the people of God today. 439 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,300 And that rest is greater than physical. 440 00:32:27,300 --> 00:32:29,800 Repose greater than giving the land. 441 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,300 Rake know. It is a spiritual rest is an 442 00:32:33,300 --> 00:32:42,400 internal solemn piece. In that rest here, speaks of 443 00:32:42,700 --> 00:32:45,700 Jesus. And here's what Hebrews is 444 00:32:45,700 --> 00:32:51,900 saying in the same way that God exemplified what rest looks like 445 00:32:52,100 --> 00:32:56,200 by working, six days and seven on the 7th Day. 446 00:32:56,900 --> 00:33:02,100 Stepping back to enjoy and to rejoice in his work, you and I 447 00:33:02,100 --> 00:33:07,200 are called You and I are called not based on what you have done, 448 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,500 but what I'm Christ has done to step back. 449 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,800 Rest and to rejoice and what he has done. 450 00:33:16,300 --> 00:33:17,700 And you don't do that once a week. 451 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,200 This rest. Touches every moment of your 452 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:25,400 life. You walk in that rest, you sleep 453 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:30,900 in that rest you travel in that rest you minister in that rest. 454 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,300 Somebody ancient said it better than I would. 455 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:41,200 Then the same way God. Rested from his work in 456 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:45,200 creation. And in the same way Jesus 457 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,200 entered into glory and sat at the right hand of God, 458 00:33:50,900 --> 00:33:55,400 physically demonstrating his rest from his Redemptive work. 459 00:33:56,600 --> 00:34:02,200 You and I are called to rest from The Works of the law to 460 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:07,100 attain righteousness. Because we have now believed on 461 00:34:07,100 --> 00:34:10,300 the works that have completed it for us. 462 00:34:11,199 --> 00:34:15,100 That's what it means to know. True Sabbath rest. 463 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:20,600 And when you and I are about to come to this, holy table. 464 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,699 What you are about to do, if you are a born again, Christian in 465 00:34:24,699 --> 00:34:28,400 this place who could say in your heart, and this past 30 minutes, 466 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:34,100 amen, amen, amen, amen. You are coming to this table and 467 00:34:34,100 --> 00:34:37,400 what you are also saying in your heart, is his sacrifice was 468 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:41,199 sufficient, his sacrifice was sufficient, his sacrifice was 469 00:34:41,199 --> 00:34:45,100 sufficient. Nothing in my hands. 470 00:34:45,100 --> 00:34:49,800 I bring simply to the cross. I cling, that is what you are 471 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,500 saying here. You're coming to the symbols of 472 00:34:52,500 --> 00:34:55,800 Jesus, but body and his blood. And you were saying this was 473 00:34:55,800 --> 00:35:01,000 sufficient, what he did 2000 years ago has made me? 474 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,300 Perfect. For all time, though. 475 00:35:04,300 --> 00:35:09,200 I am still being sanctified. Do I have not yet arrived? 476 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:13,500 And though sometimes it is a very very turbulent Journey. 477 00:35:14,500 --> 00:35:19,700 He has perfected me, he has made me whole, my record of sin is 478 00:35:19,700 --> 00:35:25,900 gone for by single sacrifice. There is a rest of a label for 479 00:35:25,900 --> 00:35:29,900 the people of God today. Do you have rest? 480 00:35:31,300 --> 00:35:35,800 Are you Restless? Do you have the assurance? 481 00:35:37,300 --> 00:35:40,700 That when you do meet God and you will meet God. 482 00:35:41,900 --> 00:35:46,800 You will meet him. Are you sure that you will be 483 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:53,200 met with a smile? Or at the awful announcement. 484 00:35:54,500 --> 00:35:57,600 Depart from me. I never knew you. 485 00:36:00,700 --> 00:36:05,700 I want to tell you today that on this Good Friday, this God that 486 00:36:05,700 --> 00:36:08,100 I speak of this God in whom I bear Witness. 487 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:14,600 Extends the cup of Fellowship to you and he desires you to be 488 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:18,000 saved. He wants you to know this rest. 489 00:36:18,300 --> 00:36:22,700 He wants you to know the freedom of realizing that what he is 490 00:36:22,700 --> 00:36:26,600 done by single offering will make me perfect and keep me 491 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,000 perfect. And he will hold on, to me until 492 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,100 the end. This is what this is all about. 493 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,500 And this is why we preach, we preach. 494 00:36:34,500 --> 00:36:40,100 The good news Christianity is about good news. the news is 495 00:36:40,100 --> 00:36:47,500 this salvation has come Jesus has come. a way out of 496 00:36:47,500 --> 00:36:50,600 condemnation, a way out of hell away, out of the power of sin 497 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:54,600 has has come And he is still the last Adam. 498 00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:59,100 And the door is still open. You can enter in, and it's real, 499 00:36:59,100 --> 00:37:04,200 it's real, it's really real. You can actually no freedom and 500 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,200 you can actually know what it's like for the burden of sin to 501 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,800 roll off your back. And you can know the spirit of 502 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,500 God will bear witness with your spirit. 503 00:37:12,500 --> 00:37:16,200 As Romans 8 says that you are indeed a child of God. 504 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:21,100 But you have to repent. You have to believe. 505 00:37:22,300 --> 00:37:26,300 You have to trust that what he's done is enough and you have to 506 00:37:26,300 --> 00:37:30,200 declare him as Lord and Savior and you have to, yes. 507 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,200 Let go of your sin. Be willing to say, I turn back 508 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,500 from the very thing that put Christ on the cross. 509 00:37:35,700 --> 00:37:38,000 For you also have to let go of your righteousness. 510 00:37:40,100 --> 00:37:44,600 I will not rely on what I can do to, please God. 511 00:37:45,700 --> 00:37:50,200 I will trust that what Christ has done, he's done for me, 512 00:37:51,100 --> 00:37:54,900 that's the gospel that's salvation, and that's what I 513 00:37:54,908 --> 00:37:58,700 extend to you, this evening. Would you be saved? 514 00:37:59,500 --> 00:38:03,200 Would you be born again? What do you allow the spirit of 515 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,300 God to transform? You would you allow him to heal 516 00:38:06,300 --> 00:38:08,200 you to restore? You? 517 00:38:09,100 --> 00:38:13,000 Would you allow him to do what psychologists can't do? 518 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,700 What those pills? Can't do. 519 00:38:14,700 --> 00:38:16,400 What that bottle? Can't do. 520 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,800 What your boyfriend, your girlfriend, your fiance, your 521 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,500 husband, your children can't do. What your job, can't do. 522 00:38:21,500 --> 00:38:24,300 What the promotion can offer, would you let him do it? 523 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:29,900 To fulfill you in to satisfy you, would you let him do it? 524 00:38:31,100 --> 00:38:33,800 Oh, don't Suarez hand away today. 525 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:38,700 Time is short, time is very short, you're even having 526 00:38:38,700 --> 00:38:42,100 unbelievers, say it's, we're near the end, you have you have 527 00:38:42,100 --> 00:38:44,700 more unbelievers who believe in the last days than believers who 528 00:38:44,700 --> 00:38:46,700 believe in the last days, it's unbelievable to me. 529 00:38:48,100 --> 00:38:49,700 You talk to Believers. I think we're living in the last 530 00:38:49,700 --> 00:38:51,600 days. I don't know about that. 531 00:38:51,900 --> 00:38:53,900 Talk to unbelievers. Like yeah, I've never seen 532 00:38:53,900 --> 00:38:56,000 anything like this. It looks really bad. 533 00:38:57,900 --> 00:39:01,200 Maybe you thought that too? If you want to stay for another 534 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,200 hour, I can tell you how it all points back to the Bible. 535 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:12,200 We're about to break bread. And as much as Isaac's, I've 536 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:17,100 extended that call to Salvation, I cannot extend the invitation 537 00:39:17,100 --> 00:39:20,600 for you to participate at this table unless you are born again. 538 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:26,200 Jesus is the lord of the church. He's the master of this local 539 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:30,200 church and he has instructed us to reserve this ordinance for 540 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:34,100 those who are his children and we become children by faith in 541 00:39:34,100 --> 00:39:37,700 him and so we kindly ask not that. 542 00:39:37,700 --> 00:39:40,900 It affects us necessarily but because he is Holy and he does. 543 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:44,000 He does see what happens here for your sake. 544 00:39:45,300 --> 00:39:47,100 Would you reserve yourself from participating? 545 00:39:47,100 --> 00:39:51,100 You have every right to observe and what you are, observing is 546 00:39:51,100 --> 00:39:55,200 exactly what I alluded to people coming forward to say what he 547 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:59,000 has done is enough. And we eat these elements to 548 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:04,300 even engage our senses regarding that spiritual truth, and it 549 00:40:04,300 --> 00:40:07,000 tastes good to us to symbol symbolize. 550 00:40:07,100 --> 00:40:10,400 The goodness that we taste in our own Souls regarding our 551 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,700 Salvation.
