1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,600
It's a pleasure and a privilege 
to be here. 

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,700
And to be with you today to see 
many familiar faces. 

3
00:00:07,700 --> 00:00:13,800
Those who once were my fellow 
congregants here in this place 

4
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:18,300
for so many years and to see 
many new faces those who were 

5
00:00:18,300 --> 00:00:21,300
not here the five years ago when
I moved away. 

6
00:00:21,300 --> 00:00:25,100
And so I'm glad to see each and 
every one of you here today and 

7
00:00:25,100 --> 00:00:26,700
I'm thankful to be able to be 
here. 

8
00:00:26,700 --> 00:00:30,600
And to be with you this morning 
we're going to To take our 

9
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,900
reading, from Matthew, the 22nd 
chapter. 

10
00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:37,500
And I'll have the scripture up 
here on the screen and all the 

11
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:40,800
verses, unless otherwise marked 
will be from the new King James 

12
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,300
version here on the screen. 
Now, the context of this scene 

13
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:50,400
is Jesus is in Jerusalem, and 
he's at the temple and this 

14
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:55,100
occurs just three days before he
goes to the Cross, during the 

15
00:00:55,100 --> 00:00:59,400
final week of his life on Earth,
the week of the Passover and 

16
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:04,300
this Particular exchange between
Jesus and the Pharisees comes at

17
00:01:04,300 --> 00:01:09,300
the end or towards the end of a 
lengthy day where Jesus answered

18
00:01:09,300 --> 00:01:13,100
questions from the audience. 
And now after he's answered 

19
00:01:13,100 --> 00:01:17,600
several questions, he turns to 
ask a question of his own and so

20
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:22,500
we'll read together in Matthew 
22 beginning in verse 41, while 

21
00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:24,600
the Pharisees were gathered 
together. 

22
00:01:24,900 --> 00:01:29,100
Jesus asked them saying, what do
you think about the Christ, 

23
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,100
whose son? 
One, is he they said to him the 

24
00:01:32,100 --> 00:01:35,300
son of David. 
He said to them, how then does 

25
00:01:35,300 --> 00:01:39,100
David in the spirit. 
Call him Lord saying the Lord 

26
00:01:39,100 --> 00:01:43,500
said to my Lord, sit at my right
hand, until I make your enemies 

27
00:01:43,500 --> 00:01:47,600
your footstool, if David then 
calls him Lord. 

28
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:49,500
How is he? 
His son? 

29
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,100
And no one was able to answer 
him a word, nor from that day 

30
00:01:54,100 --> 00:01:57,300
on. 
Did anyone dare question him 

31
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,900
anymore? 
We're going to look at this 

32
00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:04,000
exchange and consider the 
question asked by the Savior. 

33
00:02:04,300 --> 00:02:08,300
What about the Christ? 
The Bible is not a history 

34
00:02:08,300 --> 00:02:12,300
textbook, but it does contain 
loads of historical information.

35
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,000
This information was recorded by
Bible writers, not for the 

36
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,900
purpose of teaching World Civ 
101 but primarily to trace God's

37
00:02:20,900 --> 00:02:24,400
working in the world. 
This is especially demonstrated 

38
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:29,200
in the Book of Genesis. 
The word Genesis means Or 

39
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,200
beginning the Hebrew title given
to the first book of Moses. 

40
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,400
Is there a sheath, which means 
in the beginning, or at the 

41
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,800
first a third Genesis though 
it's filled with Doctrine. 

42
00:02:42,100 --> 00:02:46,300
Primarily Moses is riding during
the Wilderness wandering to 

43
00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:50,600
inform and remind the recently, 
emancipated Israelites of their 

44
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,400
Heritage and what brought them 
to where they are and where 

45
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,000
they're going, the promised land
of Canaan. 

46
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,400
When you examine Jenna, Assist 
you find that there are several 

47
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,400
themes repeated over and over in
its 50 chapters. 

48
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,300
One of those themes is that of 
genealogies, in fact, some have 

49
00:03:08,300 --> 00:03:11,700
suggested that maybe the book 
should be called told death, 

50
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:16,100
which is the Hebrew word for 
genealogy or Generations because

51
00:03:16,100 --> 00:03:21,100
that word begins every new 
section in the book in Genesis 2

52
00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:23,400
and verse 4. 
We read these are the 

53
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,800
generations of the heavens and 
of the earth when they were 

54
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,200
created in the day that the Lord
God Made the earth and the 

55
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,200
heavens Genesis 5:1. 
This is the book of the 

56
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,700
genealogy of Adam Genesis 6:9. 
This is the genealogy of Noah 

57
00:03:37,700 --> 00:03:40,500
Genesis 10 1. 
This is the genealogy of the 

58
00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:44,000
sons of Noah. 
Genesis 11 27, this is the 

59
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,600
genealogy of Tara Genesis 25:19.
This is the genealogy of Isaac 

60
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,400
and Genesis 37 to. 
These are the generations of 

61
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:58,500
Jacob by recording these. 
Genealogies Moses is showing 

62
00:03:58,700 --> 00:04:03,300
Where the Israelites originated.
He's recording the continuity of

63
00:04:03,300 --> 00:04:05,900
human history. 
He's setting the historical 

64
00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:10,900
background of Israel's national 
identity and he's tracing the 

65
00:04:10,900 --> 00:04:15,800
passing of promises. 
One of the other great themes of

66
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,000
the Book of Genesis is the idea 
of Covenant fulfillment. 

67
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,400
In Genesis 12, God called 
Abraham out of UR of the 

68
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,900
Chaldeans and he promised him 
that he would lead him to a 

69
00:04:27,900 --> 00:04:30,300
great. 
And he would give that land to 

70
00:04:30,300 --> 00:04:32,900
him that he would make him a 
great nation. 

71
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,100
And also that from his lineage, 
all the families of the Earth 

72
00:04:37,100 --> 00:04:40,000
would be blessed. 
And we know that promise is the 

73
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,000
promise of the Messiah that 
promise would then pass from 

74
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Abraham to Isaac. 
Not as mail from Isaac, it would

75
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,900
pass to Jacob. 
Not Esau and from Jacob, it 

76
00:04:51,900 --> 00:04:57,300
would pass not to his firstborn 
Ruben or two Simian, or to Levi,

77
00:04:57,300 --> 00:05:00,500
but it would pass. 
To Judah the fourth son of 

78
00:05:00,500 --> 00:05:03,000
Jacob. 
And then if we fast forward 

79
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,100
Beyond The Book of Genesis and 
Beyond The Exodus Into the 

80
00:05:07,100 --> 00:05:10,800
Wilderness wanderings and Beyond
into the conquest of Canaan 

81
00:05:10,900 --> 00:05:15,400
under Joshua and we fast-forward
through the times of the judges,

82
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:20,300
we come to the Golden Age of 
Israel, the age of the United 

83
00:05:20,300 --> 00:05:24,800
Kingdom, and they're in first 
Chronicles chapter 2, the Bible 

84
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,500
records, guess what? 
Another genealogy. 

85
00:05:29,100 --> 00:05:33,200
And the purpose here is in part 
to show that one of the 

86
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:38,100
descendants of Judah to whom 
that abrahamic promise past is a

87
00:05:38,108 --> 00:05:44,800
man named David. 
David was Israel's second king 

88
00:05:45,100 --> 00:05:49,700
chosen to replace the rebellious
all during the reign of David 

89
00:05:49,700 --> 00:05:52,900
and Solomon. 
His son Israel was at its most 

90
00:05:52,900 --> 00:05:56,300
powerful. 
Its most majestic, its most 

91
00:05:56,300 --> 00:06:00,200
influential and not only that 
But because David was a 

92
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:05,100
righteous man. 
God made him some promises. 

93
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,500
Now there are many many passages
in the Old Testament, which look

94
00:06:09,500 --> 00:06:12,900
forward to the Messiah and many 
of them mentioned. 

95
00:06:12,900 --> 00:06:17,800
The fact that the Messiah would 
descend from David. 

96
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,300
For example, a child will be 
born to take the Throne of 

97
00:06:22,300 --> 00:06:25,400
David. 
Isaiah 9, God's blessings will 

98
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:30,200
be on the rod from the stem of, 
Jesse Isaiah. 11 a king will 

99
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:35,300
come from the branch of David, 
Jeremiah 23 and the one to be 

100
00:06:35,300 --> 00:06:39,700
ruler and Israel will be born in
Bethlehem. 

101
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:45,600
The city of David Micah 5 and 
verse 2. 

102
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,800
And so on that day during the 
final week of the Lord's life 

103
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:55,800
here on Earth as Jesus, stood 
arguing with the Pharisees and 

104
00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:02,700
the Sadducees and the herodians.
Over all manner of issues, Jesus

105
00:07:02,700 --> 00:07:05,100
fielded some complicated 
questions. 

106
00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:09,000
He fielded a question about 
whether it was right or not to 

107
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,400
pay taxes to Caesar, he fielded 
a question about a woman who had

108
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,300
been married seven times and 
they wouldn't know in the 

109
00:07:16,300 --> 00:07:19,100
resurrection. 
Who would she be married to? 

110
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,600
He fielded a question about 
which commandment was the 

111
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:28,400
greatest of all commandments? 
These were hot button issues 

112
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,900
these These were issues which 
were being debated and argued 

113
00:07:32,900 --> 00:07:38,400
over amongst the Jews, these 
were complicated questions. 

114
00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:45,600
And so then when Jesus steps up 
and he asks his question, he 

115
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:50,800
asked maybe what could have been
the simplest question of all 

116
00:07:51,500 --> 00:07:57,600
from whom is the Messiah to 
descend whose son is he? 

117
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,500
And it seems that they unite 
together this audience which had

118
00:08:01,500 --> 00:08:06,300
been divided all day long to 
answer this silly question. 

119
00:08:06,300 --> 00:08:12,100
Well, He's the son of David, of 
course, and they were right. 

120
00:08:13,100 --> 00:08:17,000
They were correct. 
There is a reason that both 

121
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:22,100
Matthew and Luke include 
genealogies in their gospels. 

122
00:08:22,100 --> 00:08:26,900
It's not just to fill space but 
in those genealogies rather the 

123
00:08:26,900 --> 00:08:32,600
Apostle and Luke both record 
this great lineage Matthew 

124
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:37,799
records, the lineage from 
Abraham to David to Jesus. 

125
00:08:38,100 --> 00:08:41,500
Luke goes all the way back to 
Adam and traces. 

126
00:08:41,500 --> 00:08:46,000
His genealogy to Jesus showing 
that the Messiah is not just the

127
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:51,000
Messiah for the Jews, but he's a
messiah for all the descendants 

128
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:58,500
of Adam for all people, of all 
Nations during the lifetime of 

129
00:08:58,500 --> 00:09:01,800
Jesus and his time on Earth. 
No one. 

130
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,900
Bird challenge. 
That he was descended of David. 

131
00:09:05,500 --> 00:09:11,300
No one ever questioned, or a 
challenge his davidic ancestry 

132
00:09:11,300 --> 00:09:13,700
before. 
Jerusalem was destroyed in ad 

133
00:09:13,700 --> 00:09:18,400
70, the records and genealogies 
of the Jews were meticulously 

134
00:09:18,500 --> 00:09:22,500
capped, at any point during 
Jesus, preaching career. 

135
00:09:22,500 --> 00:09:26,200
And he Israelite could have gone
into Jerusalem and gone down to 

136
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,500
the hall of records and looked 
up the information about Jesus 

137
00:09:30,500 --> 00:09:31,800
of Nazareth. 
The son. 

138
00:09:31,900 --> 00:09:36,000
Son of Joseph and Mary. 
And if that no other time in his

139
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,800
ministry, certainly someone 
would have done that during the 

140
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,900
final week the Passover week, 
because just two days before 

141
00:09:43,900 --> 00:09:48,500
Jesus asked his question, Jesus 
had rode into Jerusalem on the 

142
00:09:48,500 --> 00:09:51,200
back of the donkey in the 
triumphal entry, he'd been gone 

143
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,100
from Jerusalem for months and 
now he's come back for the 

144
00:09:54,100 --> 00:09:57,000
Passover week. 
And when he rides into town, 

145
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,700
listen to what they say about 
him. 

146
00:09:58,700 --> 00:10:02,100
Matthew 21 verse 9, the 
multitudes who went before and 

147
00:10:02,100 --> 00:10:05,900
those who followed cried out 
saying, Hosanna to the son of 

148
00:10:05,900 --> 00:10:08,200
David. 
I should say. 

149
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,200
So, they said that to Jesus 
blessed, is he? 

150
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,100
Who comes in the name of the 
Lord hosanna in the highest Mark

151
00:10:14,100 --> 00:10:16,900
says in Mark 11 9. 
And 10 of those who went before,

152
00:10:16,900 --> 00:10:19,700
and those, who followed cried 
out saying, Hosanna blessed. 

153
00:10:19,700 --> 00:10:22,600
Is he who comes in the name of 
Lord blessed is the kingdom of 

154
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,000
Our Father. 
David, that comes in the name of

155
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,100
the Lord hosanna in the highest.
The next day, when Jesus 

156
00:10:30,100 --> 00:10:33,200
cleansed the temple. 
The Bible says that some 

157
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:38,800
children cried out saying, 
Hosanna to The son of David. 

158
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,700
And of course, the priests and 
scribes were indignant at that. 

159
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,200
I think it's easy for us to 
assume then that somebody did 

160
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:56,200
some checking if Jesus was being
heralded as the son of David, a 

161
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,500
quick record inspection, could 
have shown whether this was true

162
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:05,000
or false, yet no one challenged 
his ancestry. 

163
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,800
And so I think that it can be 
deduced that they all believed 

164
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,100
that he was a descendant of the 
great king. 

165
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:17,200
But so what? 
So what who knows how many 

166
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,500
hundreds or thousands of 
Israelites who were living at 

167
00:11:21,500 --> 00:11:24,500
this time? 
Had Royal Blood coursing through

168
00:11:24,500 --> 00:11:27,200
their veins? 
Who knows how many of them were 

169
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:32,100
The Offspring of David? 
Is that enough to make somebody 

170
00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:35,900
the Messiah? 
Well, of course not. 

171
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:43,200
And this is the point, Jesus is 
about to drive home in Matthew, 

172
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:50,200
22, beginning in verse 43, Jesus
said how, then does David say in

173
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:56,200
the spirit Lord. 
The Lord said to my Lord, sit at

174
00:11:56,208 --> 00:11:59,800
my right hand, until I make your
enemies your footstool, if David

175
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:04,500
calls him Lord. 
How is he his son? 

176
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,900
The question. 
Jesus, essentially asks is, how 

177
00:12:09,900 --> 00:12:17,000
can the Messiah be David's, son 
and David's Lord at the same 

178
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,000
time? 
That's the question, how can the

179
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:26,900
Messiah be David's, son, and 
David's Lord. 

180
00:12:27,500 --> 00:12:33,700
At the same time, Jesus quotes 
here from the 110th Psalm, which

181
00:12:33,700 --> 00:12:37,300
is a highly Messianic. 
Psalm David wrote The Psalm in 

182
00:12:37,300 --> 00:12:40,800
the first person. 
And it begins by saying the Lord

183
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,100
said to my Lord, now the first 
word there in the Old Testament 

184
00:12:45,100 --> 00:12:48,200
in 100, in psalm, for Lord, is 
the sacred. 

185
00:12:48,500 --> 00:12:51,400
Name of God. 
That's the name that God gave to

186
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,600
Moses at the burning bush. 
You tell them I am sent you. 

187
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,900
That's the name of the Lord but 
the second Lord, the Lord said 

188
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,500
to, my Lord is the word Adonai 
and that's a word that means 

189
00:13:04,500 --> 00:13:07,600
ruler or Master. 
It's the most common title given

190
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:12,800
to God, as in Daniel 523 when 
God has called the Lord, the 

191
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,100
ruler of Heaven. 
So David is riding in the spirit

192
00:13:17,100 --> 00:13:22,200
which means by inspiration and 
he wrote that the Lord God said 

193
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:27,200
to David's Lord the mighty ruler
sit at my right hand until I 

194
00:13:27,208 --> 00:13:29,000
make your enemies your 
footstool. 

195
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:34,700
Notice that the Messiah is not 
just called Lord but also he 

196
00:13:34,700 --> 00:13:40,400
sits at God's right hand and he 
tramples his enemies underfoot. 

197
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,000
This is the same song that's 
quoted by the Hebrew writer. 

198
00:13:44,900 --> 00:13:48,100
When it says, the Lord has sworn
and will not relent you are a 

199
00:13:48,100 --> 00:13:51,300
priest forever. 
According to the order of 

200
00:13:51,300 --> 00:13:54,000
Melchizedek, this is about 
Jesus. 

201
00:13:54,900 --> 00:13:58,600
And so if David calls him Lord 
how is he? 

202
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,100
His son. 
And no one was able to answer 

203
00:14:02,100 --> 00:14:06,200
him a word. 
You see, friends, the Jews were 

204
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:10,600
like, many people of today many 
people. 

205
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:16,400
Hold some truth about Jesus, but
their view of him is 

206
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,100
insufficient in one way or 
another. 

207
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:24,900
The Jews were right in that, 
they knew the Messiah would 

208
00:14:24,900 --> 00:14:30,600
descend from David, but they 
missed all the Old Testament 

209
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,800
passages. 
That taught that the Messiah 

210
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:39,000
would be more than just a man. 
They failed to see the Messiah 

211
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,800
would also be the Son of God. 
And so what I want to do for the

212
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,100
remainder of our time, this 
morning is to look at some 

213
00:14:47,100 --> 00:14:52,400
common views about Jesus today. 
Some common ways that people see

214
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,000
Jesus today, and we're going to 
ask the question if that is 

215
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,700
accurate according to the 
scripture, or if there's 

216
00:14:58,700 --> 00:15:03,000
something inadequate about that 
view and the First view may be a

217
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,200
bit surprising to you, but the 
first few that I want to talk 

218
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:11,000
about this morning is the 
Islamic view of Jesus. 

219
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,300
A did you know that Muslims 
believe that Jesus was one of 

220
00:15:15,300 --> 00:15:19,000
25? 
Prophets sent by Allah into the 

221
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:24,200
world to reveal Heavens, message
to Mankind in the Quran. 

222
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,400
The fifth chapter and the 46 
verse it says, an in their 

223
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:33,500
footsteps, we sent Jesus, the 
son of Mary, Mary confirming the

224
00:15:33,500 --> 00:15:36,400
law that had come before him, we
sent him. 

225
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,700
The gospel therein was guidance 
and light and the confirmation 

226
00:15:40,700 --> 00:15:43,700
of the law that had come before 
him a guidance. 

227
00:15:43,700 --> 00:15:48,600
And an admonition to those who 
fear Allah, the Quran Praises 

228
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,500
Jesus. 
As one of the finest profits to 

229
00:15:51,500 --> 00:15:55,300
ever walk the earth, he was one 
who held forth. 

230
00:15:55,300 --> 00:16:00,600
Truth to a reprobate people who 
had rejected his message. 

231
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,500
Jesus along with me. 
Muhammad According to Islamic 

232
00:16:03,500 --> 00:16:08,400
belief will stand together with 
Allah and judge the world. 

233
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,300
Now, there's some people today 
who lost the Muslim belief 

234
00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:15,400
concerning Jesus. 
They're impressed that Muslims 

235
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,000
have such a high view of him as 
a prophet. 

236
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,300
And even believe that certain 
types of religious Fellowship 

237
00:16:22,500 --> 00:16:26,300
can be extended by Christian 
people to Muslims because of 

238
00:16:26,300 --> 00:16:27,800
their common beliefs were 
friends. 

239
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,000
This is wrong. 
Let me give you just one reason 

240
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,700
why it's wrong. 
Jesus was, of course, a prophet 

241
00:16:34,700 --> 00:16:37,700
sent by God to reveal truth. 
That's correct. 

242
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,600
They have one truth about Jesus,
but we know that he was so much 

243
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:47,800
more than that. 
He was God's son, Muslims, deny 

244
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,900
the deity of Christ. 
They also deny that he was 

245
00:16:50,900 --> 00:16:56,000
crucified and that he died a 
substitutionary sacrifice for 

246
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,000
sin. 
My friends to deny this is to 

247
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,100
now the gospel because Paul 
wrote In First Corinthians 15 

248
00:17:02,100 --> 00:17:04,200
and verse 34. 
I delivered to you first of all,

249
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,200
that which I also received how 
that Christ died for our sins. 

250
00:17:08,599 --> 00:17:14,800
According to the scriptures, the
Islamic view fall short, because

251
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,099
they deny the Cornerstone of the
Gospel. 

252
00:17:18,500 --> 00:17:20,900
But number two, let me talk 
about another view with you few 

253
00:17:20,900 --> 00:17:24,099
minutes, and that's the liberal 
view. 

254
00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:27,200
Now, we use the word liberal in 
a broad sense. 

255
00:17:27,300 --> 00:17:30,200
Since today. 
But historically, what's known 

256
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,700
as theological liberalism or 
Protestant, liberalism was a 

257
00:17:34,708 --> 00:17:39,300
movement that began in the 19th 
century and it was rooted in the

258
00:17:39,300 --> 00:17:43,000
philosophies of men like 
Immanuel Kant and the religious 

259
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,700
teachings of this man Friedrich 
schleiermacher and basically 

260
00:17:46,700 --> 00:17:48,900
this movement which is still 
very common. 

261
00:17:48,900 --> 00:17:54,500
Today is a movement which tries 
to meld religious Christian 

262
00:17:54,500 --> 00:17:59,100
convictions with scientific. 
Facts or what they claim are 

263
00:17:59,100 --> 00:18:03,700
scientific facts. 
And so this type of liberalism 

264
00:18:03,700 --> 00:18:06,800
was known for its denial of the 
supernatural. 

265
00:18:07,300 --> 00:18:12,000
It's denial of Miracles or the 
inspiration of the Bible and it 

266
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,900
promoted a more relativistic or 
pluralistic or non doctrinal 

267
00:18:16,900 --> 00:18:19,800
approach to Christianity in the 
liberal view. 

268
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:26,300
Jesus was a great moral teacher.
He was a great moral teacher. 

269
00:18:26,300 --> 00:18:30,000
He had a view of ethics that 
have never been seen in the 

270
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,600
world before his time. 
He shine forth to the darkness 

271
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:38,300
of pharisaic Judaism to shed. 
New light on themes, Like Loving

272
00:18:38,300 --> 00:18:41,200
ones neighbor and doing good 
unto others. 

273
00:18:41,700 --> 00:18:45,200
He was an incredibly inspiring 
man. 

274
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:52,300
Is that true about Jesus? 
Yes, of course, was Jesus a 

275
00:18:52,300 --> 00:18:55,300
great moral teacher. 
Absolutely. 

276
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,400
But, of course, he was so much 
more than that. 

277
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,300
One of the greatest testimonials
concerning, the authority of 

278
00:19:02,300 --> 00:19:04,800
Christ. 
Was the fact that he worked 

279
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:09,400
miracles and Acts chapter 2, as 
the Apostle Peter is preaching 

280
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,100
on Pentecost. 
He says, in verse 22, men of 

281
00:19:13,100 --> 00:19:16,100
Israel. 
Hear these words, Jesus of 

282
00:19:16,100 --> 00:19:21,500
Nazareth, a man attested by God 
to you by Miracles, wonders, and

283
00:19:21,500 --> 00:19:25,100
signs, which God did through him
in your midst, as you 

284
00:19:25,100 --> 00:19:27,400
yourselves. 
Also know, you know what I love 

285
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,700
about this passage just a few 
minutes ago, when Peter, and the

286
00:19:31,700 --> 00:19:35,900
other Apostles started to preach
the crowd blurted out an 

287
00:19:35,900 --> 00:19:39,100
accusation against them. 
Remember what it was the 

288
00:19:39,100 --> 00:19:41,700
accusation was these men are 
drunk. 

289
00:19:42,100 --> 00:19:45,600
These men are intoxicated, 
that's what explains what's 

290
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,500
going on here. 
And of course, the Apostle said,

291
00:19:48,500 --> 00:19:51,300
we're not drunk. 
Unk, this is what was spoken of 

292
00:19:51,300 --> 00:19:55,000
by the prophet. 
Joel, the prophets, look forward

293
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,900
to this time. 
But when we get to this part 

294
00:19:57,900 --> 00:20:03,600
right here in verse 22, and 
Peter says, God testified that 

295
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:09,200
he was with Jesus by signs and 
wonders and miracles as you 

296
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:15,000
yourselves, also know. 
Nobody said a word. 

297
00:20:17,900 --> 00:20:23,100
Nobody said a word. 
Because everybody knew it was 

298
00:20:23,100 --> 00:20:28,600
true. 
Nobody could deny it, no one 

299
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:34,700
could deny the Miracles worked 
by God in Jesus Christ. 

300
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,700
As you yourselves also know, you
know that it is true. 

301
00:20:40,100 --> 00:20:44,500
Peter says to deny the 
Supernatural is to deny the 

302
00:20:44,500 --> 00:20:49,100
Divine authority of Jesus. 
The greatest of the miraculous 

303
00:20:49,100 --> 00:20:52,700
Atta stations of Jesus was the 
resurrection. 

304
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,700
Others worked miracles before 
Jesus, and others, worked 

305
00:20:56,700 --> 00:21:01,500
miracles after, but the 
resurrection makes all the 

306
00:21:01,500 --> 00:21:06,000
difference. 
If Jesus arose, and is alive. 

307
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:12,400
He must be the Son of God. 
If not why pay any attention to 

308
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,600
him. 
And so, back in First 

309
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:19,500
Corinthians 15, when Paul is 
writing about the gospel, he 

310
00:21:19,500 --> 00:21:22,200
says, we know that these things 
are true. 

311
00:21:22,700 --> 00:21:26,100
We know that Christ died for our
Sins according to the 

312
00:21:26,100 --> 00:21:29,800
scriptures, we know that he was 
buried and we know that he rose 

313
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:35,400
again the third day because all 
these people saw him, you ever 

314
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:41,200
wonder why Paul names all these 
names in 1st Corinthians 15? 

315
00:21:41,900 --> 00:21:44,100
This is me reading a little 
between the lines. 

316
00:21:45,500 --> 00:21:48,600
But it seems to me that Paul is 
saying, if you don't believe it,

317
00:21:48,900 --> 00:21:52,300
go talk to this person. 
You don't believe what I'm 

318
00:21:52,300 --> 00:21:54,400
writing. 
I'll give you a reference. 

319
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,200
Here's somebody, you can go talk
to about these people solve 

320
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,200
Jesus. 
After he had risen from the dead

321
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,900
and that witness makes all the 
difference. 

322
00:22:05,900 --> 00:22:09,500
So this view fall short. 
And now we go to our third View 

323
00:22:10,100 --> 00:22:12,900
and maybe these first two views 
haven't been too common and 

324
00:22:12,900 --> 00:22:16,300
people you've encountered today,
that's okay, because I know 

325
00:22:16,300 --> 00:22:19,300
you've heard this third View and
I'm going to call it the 

326
00:22:19,300 --> 00:22:23,100
denominational View. 
A common Mantra in the 

327
00:22:23,100 --> 00:22:29,000
denominational world today is to
say, Jesus is my personal 

328
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,200
savior. 
You ever heard somebody say that

329
00:22:31,300 --> 00:22:35,800
certainly you have certainly 
you've heard maybe a TV or radio

330
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,100
preacher who will look into the 
camera or speak into the 

331
00:22:39,100 --> 00:22:44,000
microphone and say something 
like have you accepted Jesus as 

332
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,100
your personal Savior and then 
that question is usually 

333
00:22:48,100 --> 00:22:53,000
followed by some unbiblical 
jargon about Inviting Jesus into

334
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,300
your heart and reciting a 
sinner's prayer such as not 

335
00:22:56,300 --> 00:22:59,200
found in the New Testament and 
never is given as an 

336
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,800
Invitational plea in the Bible. 
Now, the phrase itself might 

337
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,500
have some Merit Jesus is my 
personal savior died, identifies

338
00:23:07,500 --> 00:23:11,800
the name of Jesus and ascribe to
him, the title of Savior, and 

339
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,500
that's good. 
And even the idea of a personal 

340
00:23:14,500 --> 00:23:18,800
savior, might not be wrong. 
In the fact that each individual

341
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,600
must decide whether or not to 
follow, oh, oh, Jesus, and faith

342
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,100
and obedience. 
But there are at least two 

343
00:23:25,100 --> 00:23:28,800
problems with this view, which I
think makes them makes it 

344
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,200
insufficient. 
First of all, it promotes the 

345
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,800
notion of Lone Wolf 
Christianity. 

346
00:23:36,500 --> 00:23:41,000
You see, Jesus is not merely a 
personal savior, he's a 

347
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,500
corporate savior. 
He's a corporate savior. 

348
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,200
Paul wrote that the husband is 
the head of the wife as also 

349
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:53,000
Christ is head of the church and
savior of the body. 

350
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,100
Savior of the body Ephesians 
5:23. 

351
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:01,100
Jesus purchased the church with 
his blood and he is the savior 

352
00:24:01,100 --> 00:24:04,300
of the body. 
Not really the same as a 

353
00:24:04,300 --> 00:24:08,300
personal savior, but the second 
reason why this view is 

354
00:24:08,300 --> 00:24:12,300
insufficient, is that while it 
acknowledges that Jesus is a 

355
00:24:12,300 --> 00:24:18,300
savior, it ignores the fact that
Jesus is also Lord. 

356
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,600
See, this is the nature of so 
much. 

357
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:26,700
Modern religion, folks today, 
want to call Jesus Savior, but 

358
00:24:26,700 --> 00:24:28,400
they don't want to follow him as
Lord. 

359
00:24:28,500 --> 00:24:31,700
They want Redemption without 
repentance they want, 

360
00:24:31,700 --> 00:24:33,700
forgiveness without 
faithfulness. 

361
00:24:33,700 --> 00:24:36,700
They want heaven without the 
hard work. 

362
00:24:37,700 --> 00:24:42,100
And so when Peter, preached much
different than telling people to

363
00:24:42,100 --> 00:24:47,100
accept Jesus as their personal 
savior, he told them to repent 

364
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,900
and to be baptized in the name 
of Jesus Christ for the 

365
00:24:50,900 --> 00:24:55,000
remission of sins. 
You want to know what to be. 

366
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,500
So what to do to be saved. 
That's an answer that you ought 

367
00:24:58,500 --> 00:25:00,800
to hear. 
And if you hear something 

368
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,100
different than that, you're 
hearing something different than

369
00:25:03,100 --> 00:25:07,300
what the apostles preached and 
what the Bible teaches. 

370
00:25:09,100 --> 00:25:13,700
The denominational view is 
insufficient and fall short. 

371
00:25:13,700 --> 00:25:17,000
One more, one more, I want to 
discuss with you before we 

372
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,700
close. 
You've been so patient with me 

373
00:25:18,700 --> 00:25:20,800
this far. 
Hang in there for a few more 

374
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,100
minutes while we talk about what
I'm going to call the cultic 

375
00:25:24,100 --> 00:25:28,700
view, the cultic view. 
Now a few hundred years ago, 

376
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,300
there were a couple of religious
bodies which emerged in America 

377
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:37,200
and they proposed a lot of very 
bizarre beliefs and so because 

378
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:41,400
of their outrageous beliefs. 
People label them as a cult. 

379
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,400
For example, some deny that 
Sunday is the Christian day of 

380
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,900
worship. 
Some deny that God is eternal. 

381
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:53,600
Some deny that Jesus is God. 
They claim that Jesus was a 

382
00:25:53,700 --> 00:25:56,800
created being. 
And that before the universe was

383
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:01,900
created God created Jesus. 
And then through Jesus, he made 

384
00:26:01,900 --> 00:26:04,500
the rest of creation. 
It's important to note that 

385
00:26:04,500 --> 00:26:07,700
those who believe this about 
Jesus that he was a created 

386
00:26:07,700 --> 00:26:11,000
being will. 
Still call Jesus, the son of 

387
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,900
God. 
But they mean something very 

388
00:26:13,900 --> 00:26:17,300
different by that. 
So if you ever have a chance to 

389
00:26:17,300 --> 00:26:20,400
speak with the Jehovah's 
Witness, you'll discover that 

390
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,700
they use. 
A lot of the same words you use,

391
00:26:23,700 --> 00:26:26,600
but they're playing by different
dictionary. 

392
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,500
They have a different 
understanding of what those 

393
00:26:30,500 --> 00:26:33,600
words mean. 
And so when they say Jesus is 

394
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:37,800
the son of God, they mean 
something different than you 

395
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:43,300
mean when you You say that can 
Jesus be called The Son of God 

396
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:48,100
if he, if one believes that he 
is not actually God, that's the 

397
00:26:48,100 --> 00:26:51,400
question here. 
Can Jesus be called The Son of 

398
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,400
God? 
If you don't believe that he is 

399
00:26:54,700 --> 00:26:59,300
God, let me say very quickly 
that there are many passages in 

400
00:26:59,300 --> 00:27:05,400
the Bible which teach that the 
Messiah would be God on Earth. 

401
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,500
Let me look at a few with you 
and Isaiah chapter 9 and verse 

402
00:27:09,500 --> 00:27:13,200
6. 
The prophet says this or unto us

403
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:17,900
a child is born, unto us a son 
is given and the government will

404
00:27:17,900 --> 00:27:21,100
be upon his shoulder. 
And his name will be called 

405
00:27:21,100 --> 00:27:27,200
wonderful, counselor, Mighty 
God, Everlasting father, Prince 

406
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,300
of Peace. 
So in Prophecy, as Isaiah is 

407
00:27:30,300 --> 00:27:32,900
given a vision of things to 
come. 

408
00:27:33,100 --> 00:27:35,700
He declares that a child will be
born. 

409
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:40,200
Born, the Messiah will come into
the world and one of his name's 

410
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:44,900
one of his titles will be that 
he is mighty God. 

411
00:27:44,900 --> 00:27:48,600
And so when Matthew writes this 
in Matthew chapter 1, beginning 

412
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,900
in verse 21, we have to 
understand what Isaiah said 

413
00:27:51,900 --> 00:27:54,500
before. 
It Matthew wrote a concerning 

414
00:27:54,500 --> 00:27:59,200
Mary, she will bear a son and 
you shall call his name Jesus 

415
00:27:59,300 --> 00:28:00,600
for. 
He will save his people from 

416
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,200
their sins. 
Now, all this took place to 

417
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,700
fulfill what was spoken by the 
Lord, through the prophet. 

418
00:28:05,900 --> 00:28:10,000
behold the Virgin shall be with 
child, and shall bear a son, and

419
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,700
they shall call his name 
Emmanuel which is translated 

420
00:28:13,700 --> 00:28:21,700
what God With Us. 
God With Us one more, one more 

421
00:28:21,700 --> 00:28:23,700
passage. 
Now, look at this one here. 

422
00:28:24,700 --> 00:28:26,400
This is second. 
Peter 1 verse 1. 

423
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:31,900
Peter is beginning to write his 
second letter and he says, Simon

424
00:28:31,900 --> 00:28:36,700
Peter a bomb servant Apostle of 
Jesus Christ to those who have 

425
00:28:36,700 --> 00:28:41,800
obtained like Precious Faith 
with us by the righteousness of 

426
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:46,500
our God and savior. 
Jesus Christ. 

427
00:28:47,500 --> 00:28:51,900
Now Peter when he writes this 
says that Jesus is God and 

428
00:28:51,900 --> 00:28:54,600
savior. 
If you ever have an opportunity 

429
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,100
to study with someone who's a 
Jehovah's Witness, one thing, 

430
00:28:58,100 --> 00:29:00,700
you'll need to discuss is the 
translation of the Bible. 

431
00:29:00,700 --> 00:29:04,300
They use, they use something 
called The New World 

432
00:29:04,300 --> 00:29:08,200
Translation. 
And the New World Translation is

433
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,700
very good at avoiding passages, 
like second, Peter 1 verse 1. 

434
00:29:11,700 --> 00:29:13,100
So, look at what they've done 
here. 

435
00:29:13,900 --> 00:29:15,400
Thanks. 
I'm Peter slave and Apostle of 

436
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,000
Jesus Christ to those who 
acquire Faith as precious as 

437
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,100
ours to the righteousness of our
God. 

438
00:29:20,100 --> 00:29:24,400
And the savior, Jesus Christ. 
Now that might not seem like a 

439
00:29:24,408 --> 00:29:29,500
major change, but just adding 
that, the sort of makes it seem 

440
00:29:29,500 --> 00:29:32,000
like there's God. 
And then, there's the Savior 

441
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,400
Jesus Christ. 
And these two are not the same 

442
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,400
people, is that kind of what it,
that's how you would read, it, 

443
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,800
wouldn't you? 
But there's a problem with that.

444
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,900
And the problem is that this, 
the isn't in the Greek Bible. 

445
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,700
How do I know that? 
Because there's the Greek right 

446
00:29:49,700 --> 00:29:53,200
there. 
So, we have in diaper soon, 

447
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,500
etouffee. 
Oh, hey, Mom. 

448
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:01,100
That's this right here. 
The righteousness of our God, 

449
00:30:01,300 --> 00:30:06,200
the righteousness of our God. 
Then, look here and Savior, 

450
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:13,100
Jesus Christ. there's no, the 
There's no thought this right 

451
00:30:13,100 --> 00:30:15,800
here. 
They just threw it in. 

452
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,800
It's not there and that's 
something you'll have to deal 

453
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,300
with if you ever happen to have 
an opportunity to study with 

454
00:30:23,300 --> 00:30:27,000
someone who's a Jehovah's 
Witness, the Bible affirms, that

455
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:32,300
Jesus is God and savior. 
The fact that he was begotten of

456
00:30:32,300 --> 00:30:35,600
the father speaks of his 
Incarnation when he was born 

457
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:40,600
into a human body. 
And so this View That says Jesus

458
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:46,100
is the son of God but denies 
that he is God falls short. 

459
00:30:46,700 --> 00:30:48,800
What do you think about the 
Christ? 

460
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,000
This morning? 
Was he a great prophet? 

461
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:56,800
And a long series of prophets? 
Was he an extraordinary moral 

462
00:30:56,900 --> 00:31:00,100
and ethical teacher? 
Was he a personal savior? 

463
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,300
Was he begotten? 
Son of God. 

464
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:09,900
Was he the son of David? 
Yes, he was all these and more. 

465
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,700
The Lord said to my Lord sit at 
my right hand until I make your 

466
00:31:13,700 --> 00:31:17,700
enemies, your footstool, in the 
beginning was the word and the 

467
00:31:17,700 --> 00:31:20,600
Word was with God. 
And the Word was God, and the 

468
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,200
word became flesh and dwelt 
among us and we beheld his 

469
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,600
glory, he is the image of the 
invisible God. 

470
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:31,000
He is the brightness of his 
glory and the express image of 

471
00:31:31,008 --> 00:31:34,300
his person and upholding All 
Things by the word of his power.

472
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,300
When he had by himself purged, 
our sins sat down at the right 

473
00:31:37,300 --> 00:31:40,900
hand of the Majesty on high. 
He is the first and the last and

474
00:31:40,900 --> 00:31:43,300
in him, we have Redemption 
through his blood, the 

475
00:31:43,300 --> 00:31:46,500
Forgiveness of sins, according 
to the riches of his glory, he 

476
00:31:46,500 --> 00:31:50,300
is the Christ, the son of the 
Living, God, and the Lord Jesus 

477
00:31:50,300 --> 00:31:56,400
Christ, the lord of Glory. 
That's what the Bible says. 

478
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,200
About Jesus. 
What about you today? 

479
00:32:01,100 --> 00:32:06,900

Jesus as the author and finisher
of your faith? 

481
00:32:11,500 --> 00:32:15,900
We already wet read what Peter 
said to those who were pricked 

482
00:32:15,900 --> 00:32:19,300
in their hearts and interested 
in knowing what they needed to 

483
00:32:19,300 --> 00:32:23,100
do to be saved. 
They had declared their faith in

484
00:32:23,100 --> 00:32:26,100
Christ. 
And so, Peter turned to them and

485
00:32:26,100 --> 00:32:28,700
said, repent. 
And let every one of you be 

486
00:32:28,700 --> 00:32:33,300
baptized in the name of Jesus, 
perhaps you're here today, and 

487
00:32:33,300 --> 00:32:37,200
you've not done, that Jesus 
himself said, while he was still

488
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:41,200
on the earth, he who believes 
and is baptized will be saved. 

489
00:32:41,300 --> 00:32:44,600
Saved in Mark 16 and verse 16.
