1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,360
Presence is God. 
There's none like you, Lord. 

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,400
There's none beside you, Lord, 
we honor you, Jesus tonight. 

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,440
Hallelujah, Jesus. 
Sweetest name I know. 

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:20,880
Hallelujah, Jesus, God. 
We want to know what it feels 

5
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,760
like, God, where heaven touches 
earth. 

6
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,360
That's our slogan. 
That's our motto. 

7
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,040
We're having an earth connect. 
Amen. 

8
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,280
Want to know where heaven 
touches earth? 

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,960
Jacob said that there was a 
ladder that reached up to 

10
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,040
heaven. 
There's a ladder that reached up

11
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,880
to heaven. 
He seen angels ascending and 

12
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,320
descending upon the ladder. 
On the top thereof was the gate 

13
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,240
of heaven. 
Amen. 

14
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:55,680
And always amazes me that it 
wasn't that the angels 

15
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,800
descended, then ascended, but 
they ascended then descended. 

16
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:05,280
They were already there. 
They were already there, Amen. 

17
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,120
And I know that wherever we 
gather tonight that He is 

18
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,320
already here, His Spirit is 
already here. 

19
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:14,920
Angels, angels. 
It wasn't that long ago I 

20
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,200
preached along the line about 
angels are indicative of His 

21
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,280
presence. 
We seek sometimes to have an 

22
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,440
Angel, but we just get His 
presence and you have it all. 

23
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,320
Amen. 
Just a few announcements before 

24
00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:31,240
we get started here this 
evening. 

25
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,760
Remember the tomorrow night is 
Power Hour from 7:00 to 8:00. 

26
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,600
Prayer here at the church and so
come be a part of that. 

27
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,640
This Sunday of course, is 
Resurrection Sunday AM service 

28
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:46,320
only. 
It will end our Sunday School 

29
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:50,160
campaign as far as an official 
contest, but that never ends 

30
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,960
right, Never ends inviting 
someone to the House of the Lord

31
00:01:53,960 --> 00:02:00,160
or having them come. 
Also our candy rain will happen 

32
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,920
if there's not real rain 
happening all right, or if 

33
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,560
conditions are not good for it, 
we won't if there's lightning. 

34
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,280
I don't want four or five guys 
standing on the roof out there. 

35
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,160
I'm just everybody on the ground
is fine. 

36
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:12,480
It's those people on the roof. 
I'm worried. 

37
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,600
No metal roof at that. 
But nonetheless, I would have 

38
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:22,160
our candy rain and door prizes 
be given away on Sunday as well.

39
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,200
And also just you kind of put on
your calendar, this really 

40
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,960
pertains to whether or not 
you're part of the winning team.

41
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:35,560
But on April the 18th, that's a 
Saturday at 4:00 PM, that's when

42
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,720
the winning team will be having 
their meal at login, Saturday 

43
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,560
the 18th at 4:00 PM. 
So if you end up winning, that's

44
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,520
when you need to show up at the 
login in order to have your meal

45
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,920
taken care of and with your 
teammates. 

46
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:54,120
From the past four weeks leading
into this Sunday, also the 19th,

47
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,440
the 19th of April, in the 
evening service will have 

48
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,240
missionary roads and they will 
be here. 

49
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,320
They've just been recently 
appointed for. 

50
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,480
So we want to invite them and 
make them feel at home as they 

51
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,560
come. 
And also then in April, I'm 

52
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,440
saying April because April's the
first folks. 

53
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:14,960
And that's not a April Fool's 
joke. 

54
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,080
It is all right, the fool have 
said in his heart there is no 

55
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:18,920
God. 
OK. 

56
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,800
And so we're showing up because 
we know there is one. 

57
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:28,160
But nonetheless, the 28th, the 
26th rather a Sunday will be our

58
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,440
camp focus. 
Sunday it'll we'll have time for

59
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,840
prayer for camp that's coming up
in the month of July. 

60
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,160
We'll also be taking up an 
offering for camp and that kind 

61
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,080
of helps offset the cost of 
camp. 

62
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,760
It doesn't totally take care of 
it, but it kind of helps offset 

63
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,560
the cost. 
If you are planning on going to 

64
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:51,000
camp meeting this year, the 27th
of this month is important to 

65
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,120
you because that's registration.
The day that registration opens,

66
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,280
folks, I'm telling you it's like
a wrestling match to get a room 

67
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:03,000
and so you want to mark that day
on your calendar. 

68
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,280
If you have plans to go camp, 
you can go to the Indiana 

69
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,520
District Facebook page. 
It's probably on ours too. 

70
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,400
But nonetheless, there's prices 
already listened there. 

71
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,760
So you, you don't have to, you 
know, ahead of time as you're 

72
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,079
getting into it. 
And so just be mindful Amen, of 

73
00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:22,120
that tonight as well. 
If there's anything else, my 

74
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,360
wife will help me get it all 
situated here at the end of 

75
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,000
service. 
Amen, Amen. 

76
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,600
You may be seated tonight in 
Jesus name, Brother Zach, if you

77
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,040
can get me started up there here
this evening. 

78
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:39,720
We're coming together and I, I, 
I announced this before coming 

79
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,320
here tonight. 
Other services tonight. 

80
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,120
We're going to celebrate, we're 
going to celebrate communion. 

81
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,800
We're going to celebrate foot 
washing. 

82
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:53,600
These are two things that Jesus 
and his disciples participated 

83
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,680
in before the death and the 
burial and the crucifixion of 

84
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,240
the Lord. 
In most years, I have done it 

85
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,040
either at the end of the year, 
at the beginning of the year. 

86
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,120
But this year I thought we'll do
it close to Resurrection Sunday,

87
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,080
kind of in tandem with the way 
that Scripture plays things out 

88
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,800
concerning the communion and 
foot washing. 

89
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,480
And so they're both really 
happened within the same night, 

90
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,360
the same period of time. 
And so that's the reason why 

91
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,440
we've coupled them together. 
There have been other times 

92
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,960
we've taken just one Wednesday, 
Sister Raven on on foot washing,

93
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,680
the other one on communion. 
And there's enough information 

94
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,440
in the Bible to do that. 
But we're going to try to 

95
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,560
condense it down tonight. 
And I don't always do a good job

96
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,280
at the condensing stuff. 
OK. 

97
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,520
I was looking over past years 
and I still went 50 minutes an 

98
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,640
hour. 
And so I'm I'm going to try to 

99
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,800
do better this year. 
Like really going to try to do 

100
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,040
better with that tonight. 
We can go to the next slide 

101
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,840
there, Brother Zach, this 
evening. 

102
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:56,120
Really communion foot washing 
are theologically tied, in my 

103
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,480
opinion, according to the Word 
of God, theologically tied to 

104
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,280
what the Scripture says was the 
2 greatest commandments. 

105
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,080
We read of these in the New 
Testament. 

106
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,640
A lawyer comes into the Lord and
he's asking him which which of 

107
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,960
these are the greatest 
commandments? 

108
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,240
And the Lord speaks back to him.
Number one, of course, he goes 

109
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:17,960
back to Deuteronomy in six and 
four. 

110
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,920
Hero is with the Lord. 
Our God is 1 Lord. 

111
00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:23,440
But as Deuteronomy continues, it
says that thou shalt love the 

112
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,080
Lord thy God with all of thy 
heart. 

113
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,040
And then we get to the next part
of it, and I shalt love thy 

114
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,320
neighbor as thyself. 
I see communion and foot washing

115
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,320
depicting these two greatest 
commandments that are spoken up 

116
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:42,040
in Scripture that Jesus spoke of
in scripture #1 a love, a love 

117
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,640
for God, or even a love from God
if we could state it like that. 

118
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,360
Because we only according to 
first, second, third, John, we 

119
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,400
only love the Lord because He 
first loved us. 

120
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,240
So we would even be at a place 
of a incapability of loving Him 

121
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,280
had he not first loved us. 
We read the scriptures in 

122
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:03,680
Romans. 
Scarcely for a righteous man 

123
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,080
would one die, yet pre adventure
for a good man some would even 

124
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,840
dare to die. 
But God commended his love 

125
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:14,200
toward us, and that while we 
were yet sinners, He died for 

126
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,960
us. 
And so it's because of his love 

127
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:22,440
toward us that we are able to 
reciprocate that love then back 

128
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,640
to him. 
And so in that mode of, of 

129
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,800
communion, right, of taking of 
the bread and the fruit of the 

130
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,440
vine that we recall and remember
and we have that grace that we 

131
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,640
received and we're reciprocating
that love back to the Lord. 

132
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,240
And when we do that, of course 
we are, we are remembering. 

133
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,040
He says often as you do these 
things, do them in remembrance 

134
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,200
of me. 
We are remembering the sacrifice

135
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,040
of Calvary. 
We're remembering in that mode. 

136
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,000
We're remembering that catonine 
tails that was laid to his back 

137
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,560
with that metal and bone that 
was entwined in there. 

138
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,760
We're remembering that crown of 
thorns that was plated on his 

139
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,600
head, that spear that went 
through his side, that blood and

140
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,200
water came out, the nailing of 
the hands and the feet. 

141
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,200
We're remembering all of that, 
remembering the agony, the 

142
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,000
mockery. 
We're remembering all of that. 

143
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,760
And then remembering that that 
was done for us, that it should 

144
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,120
have been me hanging there. 
It should have been me going 

145
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,360
through that torment and that 
agony and pain, But it was the 

146
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,760
Lord. 
And He's filled that gap for me.

147
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,760
And so as often as I do this, I 
do this in remembrance of Him. 

148
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,960
It's my love of my love toward 
God and of course His love that 

149
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,080
has already been displayed 
toward me, a man through through

150
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,240
Calvary and what took place at 
Calvary. 

151
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,000
But then when we talk about foot
washing, Brother Reese, it's 

152
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,880
that second, that other command 
that Jesus spoke of and that is 

153
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:48,440
loving our neighbor as ourself. 
Because just as much as I have 

154
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,920
been extended grace and love, 
then I am also extending that 

155
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:58,000
grace and love in a horizontal 
manner to others, right? 

156
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,480
Those that are around about me. 
And so whenever we we wash feet,

157
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,000
if you participate in washing 
feet, it is an essence of 

158
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,280
illustration. 
Well, Brother McGee, I can 

159
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,160
illustrate my love in a lot of 
different ways. 

160
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,680
You could. 
I could illustrate love in a lot

161
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:14,040
of different ways. 
I could illustrate humility in a

162
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,560
lot of different ways. 
You could, but there is just 

163
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:19,320
some something intimate about 
foot washing and there is 

164
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,360
something humbling, whether 
you're the one that is receiving

165
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:28,320
it or the one that is doing it. 
There is a humbling practice 

166
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,480
that takes place. 
And, and really, as we'll get in

167
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,440
tonight, there is really a a 
forgiveness that can happen in a

168
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:41,200
mode of, of washing whenever 
there is wrong or there's sisms 

169
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,480
in the body, one between the 
other. 

170
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,680
I tell you what, a good old foot
washing session can just bring 

171
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:52,440
attitudes and frustrations and 
bad concepts of each other can 

172
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,320
just kind of bring those things 
down when you're kneeling at 

173
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,880
somebody's feet and you're being
washed by someone else with 

174
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,200
their hands, a service 1 to the 
other. 

175
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:05,240
And so both sides of this 
equation then have to do with 

176
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:10,120
love, have to do with love, love
for God, from God, love to your 

177
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,200
fellow man and then from your 
fellow man. 

178
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,360
And so that's what we're looking
at this evening. 

179
00:10:15,560 --> 00:10:18,000
But going on to the next slide, 
brother Alex, you've changed up 

180
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,400
there. 
OK, Zach, you looked a little 

181
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,200
different. 
OK, Don't you guys be doing that

182
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:22,320
to me. 
Amen. 

183
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:27,680
But when we talked about when we
talked about communion, 

184
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,640
communion really finds it's, 
it's it's place in the Old 

185
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,000
Testament, the Passover. 
And then we find that it's 

186
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:41,320
instituted in the Gospels. 
Jesus even kind of uses Passover

187
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,240
to introduce the Lord's Supper. 
It's instituted in the Gospels. 

188
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,280
And it's then in First 
Corinthians chapter #11 we see 

189
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,280
the observation of it taking 
place. 

190
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,560
And the Apostle Paul kind of 
given some other guidance about 

191
00:10:53,560 --> 00:10:56,360
what is proper and not proper in
all of those things. 

192
00:10:56,560 --> 00:10:59,200
But as we go back in the Old 
Testament, we talk about 

193
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,800
communion. 
Quinonio Quinonia, rather, is 

194
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,920
the Greek word that means 
commune. 

195
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,640
In the New Testament, it means 
partnership. 

196
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,880
It means fellowship. 
But here's the thing. 

197
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,800
Usually when you talk about 
communion or communing with 

198
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,480
someone, you have to have 
something common between the two

199
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:23,520
of you to come together on. 
And herein lies a difficulty. 

200
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:29,920
How can we commune with God? 
Vastly different. 

201
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,120
Big chasm between US and God. 
Vastly different. 

202
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:41,440
What would humanity have in 
common with God to have 

203
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,600
communion or fellowship or 
partner? 

204
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:48,720
We got to have something in 
common, and that's where the 

205
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:53,360
bread and the fruit of vine or 
the body and the blood come in 

206
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:59,000
place, because God manifested 
himself in the flesh, according 

207
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:04,000
to Timothy, as a result of that 
sister grace, then we had 

208
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,960
something in common. 
Before. 

209
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,040
What would there be between God 
and humanity? 

210
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,960
Nothing. 
But since God became a man, we 

211
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,520
have something in common and 
communion. 

212
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,520
We come then and center 
ourselves in around that 

213
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,720
commonality, right of body and 
blood, Amen. 

214
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,560
And so when we look at this, we 
go back to the Otessa, I'm 

215
00:12:23,560 --> 00:12:25,640
already tell I'm dragging my 
feet, ain't I got to pick it up,

216
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,320
put it down, Amen. 
But we go back to the Otessa, we

217
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,880
go back to the Tabernacle 
because the Lord told Moses in 

218
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,440
the Tabernacle system of that 
holies of holies, where the Ark 

219
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,160
of the Covenant was, where the 
mercy seat was up on the Ark of 

220
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:39,720
the Covenant. 
And there were cherubim on 

221
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,080
either side of that Ark of the 
Covenant made of gold. 

222
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,120
That was the place that the 
priest, according to the book of

223
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,320
Hebrews, would go in once a 
year. 

224
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,840
But the Bible says not without 
blood, not without blood, He 

225
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,000
would go in there. 
He'd sprinkled that blood there 

226
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,600
and there would be communion 
with God. 

227
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,720
The Lord would come down in a 
cloud between those cherubim on 

228
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,640
that mercy seat and commune with
that priest. 

229
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,560
That was our communion was that.
But it could not happen without 

230
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:12,320
blood. 
And so with that comes the the 

231
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,720
given. 
That blood came from a body. 

232
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,040
Blood came from a sacrificial 
animal. 

233
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,800
And so just as much as there was
blood that blood necessitated, 

234
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,880
there had to be a container, 
there had to be a body. 

235
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,160
And so communion then happened, 
hinged upon those two pegs, 2 

236
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:37,640
prongs of both blood and body 
that facilitated or enable bear 

237
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,680
being communion being able to 
take place at the Ark of the 

238
00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:43,000
Covenant. 
Amen. 

239
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,000
And so the Bible says, and I 
made mention that in Hebrews 9 

240
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,480
and seven, you'll probably 
waffle back and forth, but into 

241
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,760
the second, Speaking of that 
second, that area, not the holy 

242
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,760
place, but the Holy of Holies 
with the high priest alone once 

243
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,080
every year, not without blood, 
which he offered for himself and

244
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,880
for the heirs of the people. 
And so sweet communion took 

245
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,000
place because of body and blood.
That's a Old Testament, that's a

246
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,760
Old Testament establishment. 
But again, our communion takes 

247
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,080
place because God made Himself a
body, and there was body and 

248
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:16,120
blood all right for the sake of 
the redeeming of mankind. 

249
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,000
Because without blood, according
to Leviticus and Hebrews, 

250
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,560
without the shedding of blood, 
there is no remission of sins 

251
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,200
for you and I. 
But when we look at Passover, 

252
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,280
the Old Testament Passover, and 
Feast of Passover that was 

253
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:34,000
initiated in the Exodus chapter 
#12 if you'll recall, the 

254
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,920
Israelites are in captivity in 
Egypt. 

255
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,120
There's been a myriad of plagues
that have went through. 

256
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,480
Each plague has been aimed at a 
dog, the Egyptians. 

257
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:48,080
The final plague that is to come
upon Egypt is that the death of 

258
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,000
their first born, the death of 
their first born. 

259
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:56,360
But Moses has been commissioned 
by God that on this night that 

260
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:01,520
if you Israelites will take the 
blood of the lamb and you will 

261
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:06,160
strike it up on your doorpost 
and up on your lentil, when are 

262
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:11,440
the death Angel passes by and it
sees that blood, it will pass 

263
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,200
over your households. 
Death will not come. 

264
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,960
Now you're dwelling. 
And it's this very, this very 

265
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,560
institution of Passover that was
the springboard for the 

266
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,640
deliverance of the children of 
Israel out of their Egyptian 

267
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,080
bondage. 
And so they were to take the 

268
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,960
blood of a lamb and put it on 
their lentil upon their door 

269
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,840
post post. 
And that night when the deaf 

270
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,080
Angel passed by and it's taken 
the first born of Pharaoh even 

271
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,040
down to the one, the popper 
that's in a dungeon. 

272
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:45,120
And even of the cattle, the 
Bible says where the blood was, 

273
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,920
there was safety. 
And so they were able to leave 

274
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,080
that night. 
The children of Israel was able 

275
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,560
to leave that night, again with 
safety, with deliverance, with 

276
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,680
redemption from bondage because 
of blood. 

277
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,840
But where there's blood, there's
always a body. 

278
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,440
There was a lamb. 
And so again, upon those two 

279
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,640
things of blood, a man and the 
body. 

280
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,960
Here is a group of people that 
were incarcerated, bound slaves,

281
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,520
if you will, now set free and 
able to go free again. 

282
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,640
All of that is casting a very 
big foreshadowing for New 

283
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,200
Testament scripture of our 
freedom, of how we were bound to

284
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,400
sin. 
And I believe some of those 

285
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,200
things are up there for you. 
Just for a comparison and a 

286
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,600
contrast from the Passover and 
the Last Supper. 

287
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,320
The Bible says, and I'm going to
go to Exodus 12 verse #17 

288
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,280
Brother Alex. 
The Bible says, and you shall 

289
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,320
observe the Feast of Unleavened 
Bread. 

290
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:43,080
For in this self same day have I
brought your armies. 

291
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,600
I always love the Scripture. 
I'll do it now until I die. 

292
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,200
Brought your armies out of the 
land of Egypt. 

293
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,760
Therefore shall you observe this
day in your generations by an 

294
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,480
ordinance forever. 
I always love this verse. 

295
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,520
We got slaves 430 years in 
Egypt. 

296
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:03,160
Slaves. 
They're told what to do, when to

297
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,640
do, how to do. 
They're slaves. 

298
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,520
They are not the picture of an 
army. 

299
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,839
They are the incarcerated, they 
are the subjected. 

300
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,599
But the Bible says in the self 
same night, because of blood and

301
00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:25,280
because of a body, that they 
left Egypt not as slaves, but as

302
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:29,640
an army. 
An army is, it's in rank, An 

303
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,000
army is marshalled. 
An army is put together. 

304
00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:36,760
These are not a bunch of people 
that don't know their left hand 

305
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,840
from the right hand or they're 
just in just total despair. 

306
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,600
No, this is an army. 
This is an army on the move. 

307
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,720
Matter of fact, Lord told Moses,
he said when you eat that's lamb

308
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,320
tonight, he said make sure that 
you have your staff in your 

309
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,880
hand, have your shoes on your 
feet and do it in haste because 

310
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,000
you're going to be moving out of
the condition that you're 

311
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,360
presently in. 
You're going to be moving out of

312
00:17:57,360 --> 00:17:58,920
this. 
And so I think it's important 

313
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,400
tonight that we don't just come 
together and take communion. 

314
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,200
We're looking at dead stare over
in left field, you know, and 

315
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,640
we're like thumbing our head and
halfway sleep. 

316
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,880
No, we are alert because 
actually communion is about a 

317
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,120
transition. 
Communion is about movement, 

318
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,320
right? 
Even it's about movement. 

319
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:17,920
And it's what took place in that
night. 

320
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:22,360
And when we take the night, we, 
we, we remember, we remember all

321
00:18:22,360 --> 00:18:26,520
of that. 
We were, they were bound. 

322
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:33,040
But because of a body and blood,
we are now free as an army that 

323
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,520
is marshalled 4th. 
And so that's very important, I 

324
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,640
believe this evening. 
So you look there before you on 

325
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,160
this slide, the shadow to the 
substance again. 

326
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,040
So you have the sacrificing, the
sacrificing of the blood of a 

327
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,640
slain lamb in the New Testament 
with the Lords Passover, what 

328
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,760
will take place? 
You're going to have the body 

329
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,680
that is bruised of Christ Jesus,
all right, The blood that was 

330
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:59,040
shed for all, right? 
He was a ransom for all. 

331
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,440
We have the blood struck on the,
the doorposts and such. 

332
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,200
We have blood that shed for the 
removal or the remission of our 

333
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,760
sins, Deliverance of the Old 
Testament of the Israelites from

334
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,920
Egypt in the New Testament, the 
Lord's Supper again of our 

335
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:17,200
bondage from sin, Amen. 
Because we are, we are captives 

336
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,400
to sin. 
You were born into the world 

337
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,920
that way. 
You're a captive unto sin. 

338
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:26,200
But the result, again, the 
slaves became army. 

339
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,280
And then us who were sinners now
become a part of this thing 

340
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,960
called the church triumphant, 
Amen. 

341
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,120
And that is a glorious thing, 
Amen. 

342
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,240
Going on tonight where we talk 
about communion, there are a few

343
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:41,280
different directions, Amen, that
that we can look toward whenever

344
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,280
we do communion tonight. 
You can find these in First 

345
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:49,040
Corinthians chapter #11 like 
verses 26 through 29. 

346
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,600
They are, they are there in the 
Scripture and I might even go to

347
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,800
a few of them. 
But one, one thing that we can 

348
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,440
do, we look back. 
We've already spoke about that. 

349
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,760
We can look back to Calvary. 
We can look back with a 

350
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,560
gratitude of the sacrifice and 
the remission of sins that was 

351
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,960
afforded us through that 
sacrifice. 

352
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:13,160
The Bible says this in verse 
#26. 

353
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,720
For as often as you eat the 
bread and drink this cup, you do

354
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,120
shew the Lord's death till he 
come. 

355
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:24,160
So not only do we look back, but
we also look forward. 

356
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,760
Because Christ said when he was 
with his disciples and he took 

357
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:33,040
communion with them, he said, I 
will not do this again. 

358
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,480
We will not share this again 
until we come into my Kingdom. 

359
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,320
He's making a reference to the 
marriage supper of the lamb. 

360
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,920
That's after the Rapture, that's
after this, that's after all of 

361
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,280
that is taking place. 
He says we'll do this again when

362
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,400
we come to my Kingdom. 
And so taking communion isn't 

363
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,400
just looking on back there what 
was done, but it's looking 

364
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:58,080
forward to a day, looking 
forward to a day when at that 

365
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:02,840
moment there'll be no more 
sorrow, no more pain, no more 

366
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,880
despair, no more sickness, no 
more disease. 

367
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,280
In that day it will be taken 
again. 

368
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,480
Christ said, I'll, I'll renew it
with you in that day. 

369
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,920
So it's not just about what has 
happened, it's about where we 

370
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:15,880
are going. 
And so as we take immune 

371
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,120
tonight, that's what we're 
talking about. 

372
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,240
This blood and this, this, this 
body, this bread and this fruit 

373
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,760
of the vine. 
I'm still looking forward to 

374
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,400
something. 
I'm not just thankful for what's

375
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:27,800
happened. 
I'm looking forward to 

376
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,920
something. 
Listen, if you don't have 

377
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,600
something to look for tonight 
beyond this life on this earth, 

378
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,480
you need the experience of 
Calvary for the experience of 

379
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:43,280
the marriage supper, Amen. 
Amen. 

380
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,720
And so we, we can look backward,
then we look backward. 

381
00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:50,680
Amen. 
At Calvary, verse #26 tells us, 

382
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,720
all right. 
And then we also, though we look

383
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:58,760
forward a man according to verse
#26 and verse 28, though it 

384
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,120
tells us, but let a man examine 
himself. 

385
00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:04,560
And so let him eat that bread 
and drink that cup. 

386
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,640
In other words, tonight we will,
before we do this, this evening,

387
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,960
we'll have a time of prayer. 
We'll look introspectively into 

388
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,400
our own lives, right? 
Anything that may need to be 

389
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,480
made right in the sight of God. 
We're going to examine 

390
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,960
ourselves, right? 
Going to examine ourselves Lord,

391
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,160
you know, you know you know my 
uprising and my down sitting and

392
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,920
my thought afar off. 
David said you're acquainted 

393
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,120
with all of my ways. 
There's not a word in my mouth, 

394
00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:33,520
O Lord, but thou knowest it all 
together. 

395
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,760
Search me O God. 
He started out that with search 

396
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:41,120
me O God, and know my heart 
right and so that that's that 

397
00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:43,600
should be. 
Repentance is not a one time 

398
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,960
practice leading into your 
baptism and Holy Ghost 

399
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:50,440
infilling. 
Repentance is a daily thing. 

400
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,040
The reason why Paul said he died
daily, he was referencing 

401
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,680
repentance. 
I'm going to take this old man 

402
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,120
to the cross daily, right? 
Because I guarantee you there's 

403
00:23:01,120 --> 00:23:03,600
something this old man that 
needs to die or it's trying to 

404
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,640
rear its head again today, 
right? 

405
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,200
And so there is a there is a 
daily dying. 

406
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:13,480
And so I examined, we examine 
ourselves, we look inward, but 

407
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,840
also we also consider one, one 
another. 

408
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,840
Look at verse #29 for he that 
Edith and drinketh unworthy 

409
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:21,880
lead. 
And we'll look at that here in a

410
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,760
minute. 
Edith and drinketh damnation or 

411
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,680
judgment to himself, not 
discerning the Lord's body. 

412
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,680
So there there was a problem in 
Corinthians 11. 

413
00:23:32,360 --> 00:23:35,360
They just kind of treated this 
whole communion session just as 

414
00:23:36,120 --> 00:23:40,440
every other potluck. 
OK Oh, they got the moon here to

415
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,120
the rain, you know, and it was 
even a part of what they called 

416
00:23:44,120 --> 00:23:46,440
Love Feast. 
And there would be other food 

417
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:47,760
there. 
And people were coming in and 

418
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,760
they were just gorging 
themselves and drinking and they

419
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,000
were being inconsiderate, as 
happens Brother James at 

420
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,080
Potlucks. 
Well, let's talk about that for 

421
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,720
a little bit. 
You know, people going in there 

422
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,800
and they're piling up their 
plate and they're the first one 

423
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,840
in line. 
They still got 60 people behind 

424
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,080
them. 
Well, let's not get too touchy 

425
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:11,680
there, huh? 
But in doing so, it's 

426
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,240
inconsiderate. 
You have no consideration for 

427
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,240
others that are there. 
And that was what was taking 

428
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,000
place in this setting. 
There was no consideration. 

429
00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:24,360
And so that consideration, 
though, is being there's other 

430
00:24:24,360 --> 00:24:28,080
people, other members of the 
body here. 

431
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,520
So in one respect, they're not 
discerning the Lord's body, 

432
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:38,800
Other members of the body. 
It's not just about you and it's

433
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:43,360
not just about you. 
There's others to consider, but 

434
00:24:43,360 --> 00:24:47,960
also not discerning them. 
There's there's bread here 

435
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,960
that's symbolical of his body. 
There's fruit of the vine here 

436
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,200
that's symbolical of his blood. 
There's a certain amount of 

437
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,040
reverence. 
Yes, you say, well, it's there's

438
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:04,000
just symbols. 
Well, true, but Moses mite in 

439
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,440
the rock twice kept him out of 
the promised land and it was 

440
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,920
just a rock and it said that 
rock that followed them was 

441
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:15,920
Christ. 
So you know, we entered this 

442
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,600
time with with reverence, right?
Thinking about this, taking this

443
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,360
consideration. 
So we look in, we look around 

444
00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:25,840
discerning the Lord's body, we 
look at in the past, we look in 

445
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,240
the future, all of these things,
right? 

446
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,640
We're looking with intent in the
book of First Corinthians 

447
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:38,080
chapter #11 verse #29 and the 
next slide also, so you can show

448
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,040
the Scripture 1st and then you 
go to slide, Brother Alex, verse

449
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:47,120
#29 of First Corinthians 11, 
that word unworthily. 

450
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,400
Unworthily. 
A lot of people over the years 

451
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,320
have got so stumped up over this
passage, and it's mentioned 

452
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:59,360
again then a little later, 
unworthily because they get this

453
00:25:59,360 --> 00:26:02,240
mindset. 
Well, communion is only about 

454
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:08,120
those who are worthy. 
The unworthy and unworthily are 

455
00:26:08,120 --> 00:26:15,280
two different words #1 unworthy 
is an adjective, It's going to 

456
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,920
describe a noun. 
Unworthily. 

457
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:19,640
That little LY, that's an 
adverb. 

458
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,680
It's going to describe a verb 
action. 

459
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:27,400
Because if we would consider it 
today, we'd say, well, only the 

460
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:33,280
worthy can partake of communion.
Someone opened the back door so 

461
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,000
we all can just make our way 
home. 

462
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:46,800
Because I'm not worthy. 
The best quotation marks among 

463
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:52,120
us isn't worthy. 
I don't deserve the body or the 

464
00:26:52,120 --> 00:26:56,240
blood. 
It's not based upon the premise 

465
00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:01,480
of deserving, he said. 
That's the reason why scarcely 

466
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:06,240
for a righteous man, even for a 
Sinner, he would dare to die. 

467
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,760
Wasn't about worthiness. 
Amen. 

468
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,600
And so when we talk about that, 
then it's not talking about 

469
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,240
who's at the table, but it's 
talking about how we approach 

470
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:22,480
the table, Our, our, our 
actions, our manner. 

471
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,720
Is it a irreverent manner? 
Are we, are we just taking it 

472
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,680
all just lightly? 
No big deal. 

473
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,040
Is it in the disrespectful type 
manner? 

474
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,520
Because clearly that was what 
was taking place in First 

475
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,440
Corinthians #11 that's the 
reason why the apostle Paul is 

476
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,200
calling them on these particular
things. 

477
00:27:40,360 --> 00:27:43,000
So it's about how we approach 
the table, right? 

478
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,360
With reverence. 
I'm, I'm unworthy. 

479
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:50,320
You can be unworthy without 
acting irreverently, huh? 

480
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,920
You you might not deserve it, 
but you can still know the price

481
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:02,120
of what brought that to you, 
right, of what brought that to 

482
00:28:02,120 --> 00:28:04,680
you. 
And so we have our heart really 

483
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,760
must be in the right spot 
concerning those things going 

484
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,240
on. 
Then tonight, Brother Alex, the 

485
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,040
next slide, we're doing it 23 
minutes. 

486
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,040
See that ain't bad compared to 
other years. 

487
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:20,680
Brother Earl, want to switch 
this a little bit from communion

488
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,240
to look at at foot washing, 
right? 

489
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:27,360
That horizontal, that horizontal
relationship with mankind. 

490
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:36,680
The thing with foot washing, the
Lord flipped the script at that 

491
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,360
dinner that they had together. 
He flipped the script. 

492
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:45,680
All the social norms were just 
totally undone. 

493
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:51,000
I mean, typically if someone was
going to have water that was 

494
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,960
provided for their feet. 
The Jews were very big on 

495
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:59,080
showing levels of hospitality 
even to strangers that may come 

496
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,600
by their house. 
And if they come by their home, 

497
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,720
it was customary as a law of 
hospitality that they would 

498
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,520
provide water for the guests 
feet so that they could wash 

499
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,680
their feet right. 
We see this in different places 

500
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,280
of scripture. 
Abraham did it for the angels 

501
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,520
that came to his house before he
understood them totally, the 

502
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,400
angels providing water for their
feet. 

503
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:24,240
Lot provided water for the 
visitation that he had of angels

504
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,560
there in, in, in Sodom and 
Gomorrah. 

505
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:31,080
We read in Scripture that even 
whenever Joseph, the steward of 

506
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,320
his house, Joseph's brothers are
coming, waters provided for 

507
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,120
their feet. 
And each of those episodes, the 

508
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:41,520
owner of the feet or the person 
would wash their own feet. 

509
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,600
That's what would take place. 
And so again, it's just 

510
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,560
customary that that that's what 
happens. 

511
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,240
And so one of the disciples are 
gathered together for this meal 

512
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,520
and they're going to be eating 
this meal. 

513
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,280
And there's someone hosting 
this. 

514
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,840
Jesus is hosting this meal. 
They're coming in. 

515
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,320
They're thinking, no doubt. 
We've been on the streets. 

516
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,800
We've been walking along these 
roads. 

517
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,640
They're not paved like our 
interstates or even like, you 

518
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,600
know, you know, Cedar St. out 
here. 

519
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,040
We're just talking about dust 
roads. 

520
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,800
You travel the same roads that 
the animals are traveling. 

521
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,080
There's things that come from 
animals. 

522
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,480
You don't want to step in, but 
when you got big flocks, it's 

523
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,000
almost unavoidable. 
And your shoes are not like 

524
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,600
totally closed. 
They're open toed, open heeled. 

525
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,600
They're just like a piece of 
leather with a little strap. 

526
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,160
Katie, Something's bound to get 
on there. 

527
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:39,720
Whether it be dirt, Whether it 
be not dirt. 

528
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,120
Thank you, Sister Grace. 
You're working with me tonight. 

529
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,120
I appreciate that interaction 
For the audience. 

530
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:52,200
Yeah, not dirt. 
So you're coming into the home 

531
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,840
here. 
Surely someone's going to 

532
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,000
provide some water for the feet,
right? 

533
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,240
I mean, we're going to be not 
sitting at a table, but laying 

534
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,760
at a table, usually resting on 
an elbow. 

535
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,280
Feet, yes, are going to be away 
from the table. 

536
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:12,720
But listen, you're next to a 
neighbor, and if there's not 

537
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:19,800
dirt there, there's an aroma, 
huh. 

538
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,400
I mean, I'm over here with my 
lamb's leg. 

539
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,760
The last thing I want wafing, 
you understand? 

540
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,080
Surely someone is going to 
provide some water, but 

541
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,440
nothing's provided. 
As a matter of fact, the Bible 

542
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:35,800
even says that whenever supper 
was ended that Jesus took off 

543
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,800
his robe, which really shakes 
things up because we had a 

544
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,640
typically done this before the 
meal. 

545
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,600
So see, everybody's in a little 
tenuous place right here. 

546
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,720
No, what I was provided, no 
servants come in. 

547
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,240
We've already been eating. 
Can you imagine? 

548
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:00,040
And what even makes this even 
bigger for me is leading up to 

549
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,080
this time you read in the 
Gospels, you know, what the 

550
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,600
disciples been doing before this
moment has ever arrived, 

551
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,880
deciding among themselves who's 
the greatest among them. 

552
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,360
Matthew, I know you think 
you're, you know, a Happy Meal 

553
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:17,680
on the side of fries, but I got 
the toy or whatever, you know 

554
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,040
what I'm saying? 
They're kind of bantering back 

555
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,360
and forth about who's the 
greatest among them. 

556
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,560
So, you know, none of them is 
going to be stooping down to 

557
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:32,400
wash Peter's feet, Matthew's 
feet, because that's above me. 

558
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:40,600
No, no, no. 
But Jesus comes in as the Master

559
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:45,120
and the Lord, and he takes off 
his garment, which the garment 

560
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:49,960
of his day indicated, indicated 
his, his row in life. 

561
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:56,240
So he's kind of removing his 
identity and he lays that down. 

562
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,200
And we got a few towels around 
here we could use tonight. 

563
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,680
And he girts himself with a 
towel. 

564
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,440
Oh, wait a minute, disciples 
thinking that's Lord and Master.

565
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:11,200
I need a beach towel spreading 
in the ministry. 

566
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:23,020
We'll do it like this. 
Amen. 

567
00:33:24,100 --> 00:33:26,620
So what's going on? 
He's removing what everybody 

568
00:33:26,620 --> 00:33:32,100
would identify him by and when 
it would typically be the lowest

569
00:33:32,100 --> 00:33:34,940
of servants that would do this 
for another person. 

570
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:41,840
He said me being your master, 
your Lord been teaching you, 

571
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,120
instructing you, none of you 
washing each other's feet. 

572
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:51,760
So I'll get a pail and I'll get 
water and I'll assume that role 

573
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:56,240
of a servant, but you call me 
master, I'll assume that role of

574
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,280
the servant. 
And he went by and he washed all

575
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,880
important, all the disciples 
feet. 

576
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:11,960
He didn't pick and choose. 
He was like, oh, I'll do his, 

577
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,000
let's raise it a little bit 
higher. 

578
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,679
This is God manifest in the 
flesh. 

579
00:34:18,639 --> 00:34:20,440
He already knows who's going to 
betray him. 

580
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,719
He already knows who's going to 
deny him. 

581
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,360
He already knows who's going to 
walk away. 

582
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:33,360
But he didn't let that interfere
with stooping before Judas, 

583
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,880
stooping before Peter, stooping 
before every other. 

584
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,520
Now, let's just back up and 
let's get real with humanity for

585
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,960
a moment. 
The last person anyone would 

586
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,800
probably want to wash feet with 
tonight would be someone you 

587
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,960
have something against or that 
you know has something against 

588
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:58,640
you. 
But Jesus, he just flips it all.

589
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:03,320
He provides the water. 
He kneels and he's driven by his

590
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:08,840
unconditional love, and he's 
washing feet one after the 

591
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,720
other, after the other, after 
the other. 

592
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,440
And Peter's even a little taken 
aback by it. 

593
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:19,680
When you read of it in John 
chapter 13, it's like, Lord you,

594
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:22,080
you're not going to wash my 
feet. 

595
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,000
What's Peter caught in? 
He's pop caught in the custom. 

596
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:29,560
It's unheard of for someone so 
superior of a position as you 

597
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:33,240
are to wash feet. 
He couldn't, he couldn't grapple

598
00:35:33,240 --> 00:35:38,160
with the idea that the Lord was 
actually going to do this and go

599
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,240
on to our next one, loving them 
unto the end, the next slide, if

600
00:35:41,240 --> 00:35:45,280
you will, because John 13 one 
starts out, John 13 one starts 

601
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,560
out like that. 
It's Speaking of Christ Jesus. 

602
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,200
And this is what he basically 
says. 

603
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,680
He says now before the feast of 
the Passover, when Jesus knew 

604
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,600
his hour was come, that He 
should depart out of this world 

605
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,800
unto the Father, having loved 
His own which were in the world.

606
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:03,040
He loved them unto the end. 
He loved them into the end. 

607
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,480
He loved them through their 
mistakes. 

608
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,320
He loved them through their 
faults, through their failures. 

609
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:13,240
He loved them to the end. 
Again, I'm washing Judas's feet.

610
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,080
I mean the little space removed 
from this moment. 

611
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,400
He's going to tell Judas, 
whatever you do, go, do quickly.

612
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:22,240
He's going to be leaving because
he's going to be betraying later

613
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:26,320
in the garden hours from this 
moment in time, but He's washing

614
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,680
Judas's feet. 
The Bible speaks how Satan they 

615
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,840
come into his heart. 
I all times say this. 

616
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:35,000
Maybe you'll get tired of me 
saying it over the next 15 

617
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,560
years, but I'm going to continue
to do it. 

618
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,440
Amen here. 
Something's already happened in 

619
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,040
Judas heart, but the Lord has 
his feet. 

620
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,880
I know you got some conflicting 
things going on there, but I'm 

621
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:52,320
I'm trying to wash I'm if I can 
say I'm trying to direct. 

622
00:36:54,520 --> 00:37:00,680
I got your feet, Peter. 
Lord, I'd die for you. 

623
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,920
Lord, that's not going to 
happen. 

624
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,320
You don't have to worry about 
me. 

625
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:08,080
I'm going with you all the way. 
No, no, Peter. 

626
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:15,200
Before the cock crows wise. 
You're going to deny me thrice. 

627
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,640
You're going to tell people. 
Oh, aren't you one of those 

628
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:19,600
galleons? 
No. 

629
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,560
Aren't you with him? 
No, I don't know him. 

630
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,400
You're going to deny me three 
times. 

631
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,840
But I'm going to stoop here. 
I'm going to wash your feet. 

632
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,640
We give Peter a hard time for 
what he did. 

633
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,640
And that he fled and followed 
the Lord from a distance of the 

634
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,920
Bible says in the Garden of 
Gethsemane, whenever they came 

635
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,840
and arrested the Lord, that all 
the disciples fled. 

636
00:37:40,240 --> 00:37:45,200
And He knew they all would in 
his darkest hour, if we could 

637
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,920
put it in these terms as though 
he needed them. 

638
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,440
But they were. 
There was that friendship in 

639
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,600
that community. 
When he needed them the most, 

640
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:55,200
they abandoned him. 
Yet whenever we've needed him 

641
00:37:55,200 --> 00:38:05,560
the most, He's always showed up.
And so the washing feet going on

642
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:12,560
to the next library there, Alex,
2 basins, 2 choices startling 

643
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:17,080
that in the same storyline so 
close together that we have this

644
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,560
and really not too far removed 
as far as in time frame from one

645
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:25,200
another. 
Jesus grabs a basin and water to

646
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,400
wash feet. 
Doing so again, it was typically

647
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,480
the owner of the feet that 
washed their own feet. 

648
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,840
Always loved this because Jesus 
doing this for them. 

649
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:39,800
It's almost as though I own you.
And so he's taking 

650
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:41,880
responsibility. 
There's dirt, there's grime on 

651
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:45,200
their feet that they got on 
their feet because of where they

652
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:49,040
walked. 
Huh. 

653
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:53,680
You had to walk right through 
that, didn't you? 

654
00:38:55,320 --> 00:39:01,920
But I'm going to wash it off. 
So he's taking responsibility, 

655
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:04,520
right? 
This is his love, sacrificial 

656
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,600
love. 
Yet in the same mode we see just

657
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:11,480
a little later, a politician 
punches Pilot. 

658
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:17,160
He grabs a basin 2 and water. 
He's not washing feet. 

659
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,400
He's washing his own hands 
because he doesn't want any 

660
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:25,200
responsibility, anything to do 
with the Lord. 

661
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:32,440
Do with him as you will. 
So you have two separate 

662
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:36,760
individuals, 1A King, another a 
politician. 

663
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,160
One says I'll become 
responsible. 

664
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,240
The other one says I don't want 
any responsibility. 

665
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,880
And folks, if there's anything 
you would want responsible, 

666
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:47,200
you'd want responsibility for 
the Lord. 

667
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:48,600
He's like, no, I don't want 
anything to do with that. 

668
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,520
But Jesus says I'll take all the
I'll take all the grime, I'll 

669
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,240
take all this other stuff, I'll 
take it up on me. 

670
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,440
Amen. 
And so he grabs those basins and

671
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:03,200
he washes the disciples feet. 
So the question you got to ask 

672
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,520
yourself, if you're grabbing a 
basin, are you doing it to 

673
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,320
remove yourself from 
responsibility? 

674
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,240
Are you engaging and being 
responsible? 

675
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,400
Well, I ain't going to be 
responsible for Zach McGee. 

676
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,360
Well, what about all those 
verses about burying one 

677
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,560
another's burdens? 
What about that Galatians 6 of 

678
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,040
when you see a brother 
overtaking the fault you which 

679
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:31,240
your spiritual restore such a 
Amen going on the physics of 

680
00:40:31,240 --> 00:40:34,240
forgiveness, the coefficient of 
friction. 

681
00:40:34,240 --> 00:40:38,760
I'm joking, sorry. 
Oh physics joke. 

682
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:47,240
So washing one another's feet, 
going back to the Old Testament 

683
00:40:47,240 --> 00:40:50,600
again, the Bible speaks of the 
priest, that the priest before 

684
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,160
they entered the Tabernacle, 
they were to wash their hands 

685
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:57,120
and their feet so that they 
would be pure and clean before 

686
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,440
the Lord as they would enter 
into that place. 

687
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:04,080
There's something seen almost 
then in the washing of feet that

688
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,120
takes place in the Book of 
Revelation. 

689
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,080
The Bible says that He's making 
us kings and priests. 

690
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,680
All right, So with that being 
said, if we're to have clean 

691
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,160
hands and clean feet, there's 
something that happens. 

692
00:41:16,720 --> 00:41:20,720
And I, I don't have one out here
to picture it for you tonight, 

693
00:41:21,240 --> 00:41:28,640
but as you are washing another 
person's feet, your hands is in 

694
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,720
that same water that's cleansing
their feet. 

695
00:41:30,720 --> 00:41:34,320
Your hands are there and there's
something that happens. 

696
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,520
We talked about, and I think I 
have it up there on probably the

697
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:43,520
next slide, but there is a mode 
of forgiveness that you've 

698
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:48,400
received from God. 
The Bible says that if we cannot

699
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:55,520
forgive, then he won't forgive 
because we've been in able to 

700
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:59,760
forgive others because we have 
been forgiven years ago. 

701
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,000
And I've preached forgiveness 
more than once around here. 

702
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,720
But if there's forgiveness found
anywhere, it should be in the 

703
00:42:05,720 --> 00:42:12,200
House of the forgiven. 
Oh, I didn't come in here with a

704
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:18,760
silver spoon in my mouth. 
He gave me forgiveness. 

705
00:42:19,240 --> 00:42:26,000
Who am I then, to withhold 
forgiveness from anybody else? 

706
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,880
Because sometimes I can enter 
that mode and I can, I can Arbor

707
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:34,160
some some resentment. 
I can Arbor some some some 

708
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,680
bitterness, right? 
My hands can be full, if you 

709
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,360
will, of grudge and anger, 
right? 

710
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,920
But sometimes I got to lower 
myself and wash, wash some feet.

711
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,720
And sometimes it's almost like 
an act of forgiveness. 

712
00:42:49,240 --> 00:42:54,280
I'm going to wash some feet. 
And in doing so, you're washing 

713
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,440
some of the resentment and the, 
the bitterness off of your own 

714
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,640
hands because you might be 
serving the one that offended 

715
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:04,840
you. 
You know, the only person that 

716
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:09,520
stays bound whenever you're not 
able to forgive is you. 

717
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,720
You've been offended by XYZ. 
They're going to go on with 

718
00:43:17,720 --> 00:43:22,200
their life, but you're going to 
be held hostage because you've 

719
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,760
not forgiven them for what they 
supposedly done to you. 

720
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,000
It's like the little, I said it 
before, it's like the little 

721
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,840
bird got a little, got a little 
feeder in the tree. 

722
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,680
That's my feeder. 
Eats there all the time. 

723
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,320
It stays up in the tree, Missy, 
watching other birds come to 

724
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,280
feed and comes down and chases 
them away. 

725
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:44,560
Don't want anybody else feeding 
them my feeder. 

726
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:46,120
But you know what the bird has 
done? 

727
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:50,440
The bird has incarcerated the 
freedom of of its life because 

728
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,640
it's just constantly sitting 
there watching the feeder. 

729
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,760
It can't go anywhere else, do 
anywhere else, because it's 

730
00:43:55,760 --> 00:44:00,520
bound by what it thinks it 
deserves. 

731
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:07,080
We Arbor unforgiveness in our 
spirit sometimes toward people. 

732
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,760
The Lord's forgiven us, but 
we're not willing to let them 

733
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:15,200
go. 
But we're the ones bound. 

734
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,640
We're the ones bound. 
We're the ones with dirty hands 

735
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,560
because we've not allowed 
ourselves to be lowered. 

736
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:28,400
God has commanded us to wash. 
In the book of John 13, he says 

737
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:32,760
wash one another's feet. 
I've given you an example. 

738
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,760
Go and do likewise for one 
another. 

739
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,800
Wash one another's feet. 
And the awesome thing about that

740
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:42,240
is in the moment that I wash 
your feet, my hands are getting 

741
00:44:42,240 --> 00:44:43,680
clean, your feet are getting 
clean. 

742
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:47,400
But when we switch my feet are 
getting clean and your hands 

743
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:51,920
become clean. 
There is a mutual interdependent

744
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,480
forgiveness that can take place 
sometimes when we enter with the

745
00:44:55,480 --> 00:45:00,320
mindset of being cleansed and 
made pure before God going on 

746
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:05,000
got to got to beat my record not
of going over under all right, 

747
00:45:09,240 --> 00:45:16,280
so the table in the basin. 
So there's a deep love from God 

748
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:21,560
at the table by the blood and 
the body, right? 

749
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:26,120
Forgiveness that he's offered me
through Calvary at the table. 

750
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:31,120
But then at the basin I'm 
learning to love again like God.

751
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:34,400
There's 2 verses of scripture 
that are that I think are 

752
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,920
essential. 
Matthew 26 and verse 28. 

753
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:41,160
The Bible says this is 
concerning communion. 

754
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:45,760
He says this is my blood of the 
New Testament or New Covenant, 

755
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:50,240
which is shed for many for the 
remission of sins. 

756
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:54,880
Then we read in John 13 this is 
concerning foot washing a new 

757
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:58,000
commandment. 
I give to you that you love one 

758
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,800
another as I have loved you that
you also love one another. 

759
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,520
By this shall all men know that 
you are my disciples. 

760
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:08,120
If you have loved one to 
another. 

761
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:13,560
And so community says there's a 
New Testament in my blood and 

762
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:17,280
that is all your old sacrifices 
and animals of blood of that 

763
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,280
year always push your sins 
forward. 

764
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:23,120
Just one year says, but the New 
Testament in my blood, the new 

765
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,560
covenant in my blood is it's a 
once for all sacrifice. 

766
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,480
Blood don't have to be shed ever
again because I'm the perfect 

767
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,320
Lamb of God. 
It's shed once. 

768
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,560
You don't have to worry about 
more blood, bulls and goats. 

769
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:36,520
No, no, no, no. 
It's a once for all. 

770
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:39,040
It's a New Testament, a new 
covenant in my blood. 

771
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:40,600
But there's also a new 
commandment. 

772
00:46:40,720 --> 00:46:45,400
He says love one another. 
Lord, we already got this 

773
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,520
commandment. 
We got this in Deuteronomy. 

774
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:49,160
We got this in the 10 
commandments. 

775
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,280
We got this. 
You've already talked about love

776
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:55,920
one another, but he gives the 
the impression the major love 

777
00:46:55,960 --> 00:47:02,880
one another as I have loved you.
Oh, he gives the standard, well,

778
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,280
love, love one as you love 
yourself. 

779
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:11,560
OK, but for some people they 
ain't a very good thing, he 

780
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,280
says. 
The standard is love as I have 

781
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:19,760
loved, so I'm loved by God. 
And then I'm learning how to 

782
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:26,400
love like God and forgiveness 
isn't just coming to me, but 

783
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:30,120
then it's going out from me and 
for my brothers and sisters back

784
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:36,200
to me. 
I'm in last slide. 

785
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:40,000
So what we're going to do 
tonight, 42 minutes in and this 

786
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:41,360
gives us time to do what we need
to do. 

787
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:44,040
Oh, this is still over here. 
But what we're going to do 

788
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:52,360
tonight, we'll take communion, 
the bread and the fruit of the 

789
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:56,040
vine again, in doing so, we're 
going to stand here in just a 

790
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:59,560
little bit. 
And as is on that slide right 

791
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:01,320
there, we're going to repent, 
right? 

792
00:48:01,720 --> 00:48:03,840
We're going to acknowledge any 
shortcomings in our life that 

793
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:05,880
we're aware of. 
You might even pray some of 

794
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:09,560
those generic prayers of those 
that you're not aware of, All 

795
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:12,360
right, to have a clean heart 
before God. 

796
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:16,400
And then we're going to ask God 
to, you know, things that we may

797
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,960
be arboring in our spirit. 
Maybe some of those things have 

798
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:20,920
been there for a long time, 
right? 

799
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,640
Because resentment and 
bitterness that just, that's not

800
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:25,360
us. 
That's just not like a turnkey 

801
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:31,840
thing that slowly happens as we 
allow something to remain, as we

802
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,720
allow something to remain. 
And so we might ask God to help 

803
00:48:34,720 --> 00:48:37,960
us, you know, release some of 
those things, release some of 

804
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:41,320
that bitterness, release that 
betrayal, release offenses that 

805
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,240
we have. 
If there's anybody here, listen,

806
00:48:43,240 --> 00:48:45,520
if anybody here has something 
against somebody right here 

807
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,920
tonight, it'd probably a good 
night to just get taken care of.

808
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,000
Amen. 
No sense in allowing that bone 

809
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:56,480
chain to continue with you on 
your journey, but also with all 

810
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,320
of those things of repentance 
and stuff. 

811
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:00,400
And we take the bread and we 
take the fruit of the vine. 

812
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,000
We're also, they'll go look in 
those four directions, right? 

813
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,320
We're examining ourselves. 
We're looking backward to 

814
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,200
Calvary. 
We're looking forward to the day

815
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:09,480
that we'll take this anew and 
his Kingdom and we're 

816
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:12,640
considering the Lord's body. 
We're considering one another as

817
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:14,240
many as want to participate 
tonight. 

818
00:49:14,240 --> 00:49:17,240
You can come and get one of 
these and I'll read some 

819
00:49:17,240 --> 00:49:18,920
scripture and we can do this 
together. 

820
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:20,720
Say why we do this together. 
Well, again, it's that 

821
00:49:20,720 --> 00:49:23,440
communion, it's that unity. 
When you put the bread in your 

822
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:25,480
mouth, we all have the same 
taste in our mouth at the same 

823
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,280
time. 
You put that fruit of the vine 

824
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,280
in your mouth. 
We all have that same taste at 

825
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:31,640
the same time. 
And so there's unification. 

826
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:34,400
If you want to participate 
tonight, you can come and get 

827
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:35,720
these. 
Bread is in the top, and of 

828
00:49:35,720 --> 00:49:37,160
course, the juice is in the 
bottom. 

829
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:41,200
And then as you are coming, if 
you can get me first, First 

830
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:43,240
Corinthians chapter #11 and 
verse 24. 

831
00:49:43,240 --> 00:49:45,160
If it's not up there, that's 
fine, Brother Alex. 

832
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:49,280
I can do it right from here this
evening. 

833
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:51,680
So we're going to repent, we're 
going to release, we're going to

834
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:55,160
remember. 
It says as often as we do it, we

835
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:57,760
do it in remembrance of him. 
Some people do this every week, 

836
00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:59,440
some do it every quarter, some 
do it every month. 

837
00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:02,680
We do it about once a year. 
There is no time frame. 

838
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,960
But as much as you do do it, 
we're to do it in remembrance of

839
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:10,840
him. 
Because as I do this night with 

840
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:12,800
the Reese, I'm thinking about 
Calvary. 

841
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:17,080
I'm thinking about the 
substitute for Paul McGee. 

842
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:23,520
I think that should be a heavy 
thought, a heavy thought to 

843
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:30,320
consider. 
There's one little film on the 

844
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:34,600
very top that'll give you access
to the communion wafer. 

845
00:50:43,790 --> 00:50:45,950
So if you can pull back that 
little top layer that gives you 

846
00:50:45,950 --> 00:50:50,040
access to that communion wafer, 
the bread or the body. 

847
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:53,760
Remember that's the bruised 
body, the the pierced body as 

848
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:56,040
illustrated in Scripture. 
This is just a symbol of that 

849
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,240
beat body. 
The Bible says in first 

850
00:51:00,240 --> 00:51:04,360
Corinthians 11 where it was 
observed, verse 24, we have 

851
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:07,160
given thanks. 
He break it and said, take, eat.

852
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:09,480
This is my body which is broken 
for you. 

853
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:12,440
Do this in remembrance of me. 
Amen. 

854
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:16,360
Tonight as you take this, if you
can just remember the broken 

855
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:23,440
body of the Lord Jesus. 
Take and eat, Lord, I remember 

856
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:27,360
that you was pierced for me. 
I remember the stripes upon your

857
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,240
back. 
God was for my sin and for my 

858
00:51:29,240 --> 00:51:32,760
sickness. 
I remember, O Lord, that that 

859
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:35,720
that that spear through your 
side, Lord, blood and water came

860
00:51:35,720 --> 00:51:39,480
out. 
God, I remember, O Lord Jesus, 

861
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:43,200
that there was a crown of thorns
upon your head. 

862
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:48,320
God an emblem, Lord of the sin, 
Lord of Genesis, thorns and 

863
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:51,120
thistles. 
The ground was cursed with God. 

864
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:54,320
It was for me. 
It was for me, God. 

865
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,920
We're coming up on, Lord at the 
Resurrection Sunday. 

866
00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,200
Now we're coming up on Good 
Friday. 

867
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:02,120
Lord, all of that was for me and
I'm appreciative today of it. 

868
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,720
I thank you. 
The Bible says the First 

869
00:52:06,720 --> 00:52:09,960
Corinthians, if you pull back 
that next little layer there 

870
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:15,320
you'll have access to the Jews. 
The Bible says in First 

871
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:18,600
Corinthians 11 verse 25 after 
the same manner also he took the

872
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:24,040
cup when he had Sup saying this 
cup is the New Testament in my 

873
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:27,480
blood. 
This beauty as OFT as you drink 

874
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:31,920
it in remembrance of me, you can
take up the cup. 

875
00:52:39,330 --> 00:52:41,130
Thank you Lord for the blood of 
Calvary. 

876
00:52:43,410 --> 00:52:45,650
Thank you O Lord, without the 
shed in the blood there is no 

877
00:52:45,650 --> 00:52:47,410
remission. 
I'm still in my sin. 

878
00:52:47,410 --> 00:52:51,440
If there was never no bloodshed.
God, that you shed that blood, 

879
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:53,160
Lord, Jesus, you shed that 
blood. 

880
00:52:54,240 --> 00:52:56,480
God, we sing the song that the 
blood still flows. 

881
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:59,040
The Lord, it still meets people,
Lord, it still meets them where 

882
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:01,440
they are and their dilemmas and 
their troubles and their 

883
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,360
heartaches and their pains. 
God, it's still there. 

884
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:08,120
It's still ample. 
Lord, I love you, Jesus, I love 

885
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:09,440
you. 
Jesus, I love you. 

886
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,440
Jesus, can you just raise your 
voice in Thanksgiving right now,

887
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:16,480
or hands raised into the Lord? 
God, I look back on Calvary, but

888
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,760
God, I look to a day in the 
future, God, a day in the 

889
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:22,480
future, that of that same spirit
that raised Christ from the 

890
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:24,520
dead, dwell on me. 
It will quicken my mortal 

891
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:26,880
bodies. 
God, it will change this mortal 

892
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:31,080
to immortality, this corruptible
to incorruptible God, So shall 

893
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:34,440
our change come, I pray, O Lord,
we'll drink the new Lord Jesus 

894
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:37,520
in your Kingdom. 
I pray, O Lord, it's forever a 

895
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,360
memorial, Forever. 
Lord Jesus, a recollection and a

896
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:44,640
remembrance, God of your 
sacrifice. 

897
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:49,840
Lord, in our stand, for us, 
because of us, I thank you, Lord

898
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:53,200
Jesus, today for it. 
I praise you, Lord Jesus, today 

899
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:56,720
for it. 
Thank God, Thank God, thank God,

900
00:53:56,720 --> 00:54:02,520
thank God, thank God, I love 
you, Jesus, I love you, Jesus, I

901
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:07,480
love you, Jesus, Oh, the blood 
of Jesus that washes us as white

902
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:10,280
as snow. 
God, our sins were red as 

903
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:13,960
scarlet, but you wash them, 
Lord, as white as snow. 

904
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:16,080
God, we're grateful today for 
it. 

905
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:20,240
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 

906
00:54:20,720 --> 00:54:24,320
I was a betrayer of God, but you
was there, Lord. 

907
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:27,600
I was a denier, but you were 
there, God, I fled, but you were

908
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:30,760
there, always there. 
God, You're patiently waiting, 

909
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:33,400
Lord, You're caring. 
Lord, Jesus for me, being 

910
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:37,760
mindful, Lord of me, oh Lord, 
while I was yet a Sinner, you 

911
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:41,960
died for me. 
Lord Jesus, God, the death Angel

912
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:44,640
will pass by. 
Lord, I'll know death, but I 

913
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:46,880
won't know eternal death and 
damnation. 

914
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:52,160
Because Lord of the blood, oh 
Jesus, it gives me strength from

915
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:55,480
day-to-day, It will never, ever 
lose its power. 

916
00:54:55,960 --> 00:55:02,600
Hallelujah, Jesus, Hallelujah, 
Jesus, Hallelujah, Jesus, Lord, 

917
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:05,280
oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh 
Lord. 

918
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:08,880
It's not by might nor by power, 
but God, it's by your spirit, 

919
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:13,200
God, it's because of your 
spirit, O God, we don't have 

920
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:15,000
anything to offer but our 
brokenness. 

921
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,880
We don't have anything to offer,
Lord, but our mistaken lives. 

922
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:21,520
We don't have anything offer, 
Lord Jesus, but our availability

923
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:26,720
unto you, O Lord, Hallelujah, 
Jesus, Hallelujah, Jesus, 

924
00:55:26,720 --> 00:55:30,440
Hallelujah, Jesus, Hallelujah, 
Jesus, Hallelujah. 

925
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,920
I love you Jesus. 
I love you, Jesus. 

926
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:40,400
I love you Jesus. 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen. 

927
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:43,560

in just a little bit. 

928
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,320
Ladies, go back on the kitchen 
side if you're going to be 

929
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:48,800
involved in foot washing. 
Men, we'll be back on this side.

930
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:52,840
We have the partition closed in 
between the two. 

931
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:56,200
Ladies can get from water from 
the kitchen sink. 

932
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:59,240
Men, we'll go to the mud room. 
That's where men belong in the 

933
00:55:59,240 --> 00:56:02,200
mud room. 
We'll go to the mud room and 

934
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:04,280
we'll get our water. 
If you desire to participate. 

935
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:06,680
Please remember though, tomorrow
night, it's going to be very 

936
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:09,440
easy to forget that tomorrow 
night's prayer, okay, just 

937
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:12,200

One service only. 
Come and be a part of that. 

941

If you'll stay with me tonight, 
I'll give a prayer of dismissal,

942
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:28,040

Those who need to leave or go 
can go. 

944
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:33,960
Father, I thank you tonight. 
I praise you, O Lord Jesus, God,

945
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,760
that we enter into this session.
Lord, this evening, God, this 

946
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:40,040
time of remembrance, God, as you
did, Lord Jesus with your 

947
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:43,640
disciples, God, before that 
faithful Lord Jesus, weekend of 

948
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:46,440
events, I pray, O Lord, tonight,
help help us to go. 

949
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:48,240
Lord, let this be constant on 
our mind. 

950
00:56:48,240 --> 00:56:51,520
Help us to live, Lord, in that 
mode in the next few days of 

951
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:54,320
remembrance and thinking and 
consideration, Lord, of 

952
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:57,160
everything that has taken place 
thousands of years ago for our 

953
00:56:57,160 --> 00:56:59,120
benefit. 
God, I pray, O Lord, be of your 

954
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:01,480
people, help them to have a good
week, Lord, as they go their 

955
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:04,360
separate ways, that your hand of
protection be upon them and 

956
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:08,320
bring us back on Sunday, God, 
ready to rejoice, Lord, over a 

957
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:11,840
resurrection, Hallelujah, that 
still has implications for us 

958
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:13,920
today. 
In the lovely name of Jesus 

959
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:16,560
