1 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,700 Well, good morning everyone. It is a wonderful day to be 2 00:00:10,700 --> 00:00:14,900 together today to worship, God to sing his praises, to talk to 3 00:00:14,900 --> 00:00:17,400 him in ways that we really don't deserve to. 4 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,600 But we are privileged to buy Jesus's work and his sacrifice 5 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,600 for us to sing songs of praise to God together as a wonderful 6 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,700 day for that. And I'm excited to study with 7 00:00:27,700 --> 00:00:30,900 you a little bit more of God's word from the book of Hebrews. 8 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,000 So last week, we covered kind of a lot of ground or the week 9 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,200 before, I guess it was going through. 10 00:00:37,300 --> 00:00:40,500 He Is the end of chapter 6 and chapter 7. 11 00:00:40,900 --> 00:00:43,800 So we're going to touch back on chapter 7 because there's some 12 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,000 things I think we need to drive home and clarify a little bit 13 00:00:47,100 --> 00:00:50,200 and then we'll move on through a shorter chapter 8 this week. 14 00:00:50,900 --> 00:00:53,400 They only have 13 verses in Hebrews chapter 8. 15 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,400 So we'll be spending most of our time there if you'd like to turn 16 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,800 to the book of Hebrews and now song, we'll just saying, not a 17 00:01:00,808 --> 00:01:02,500 step. Will I take without Jesus as the 18 00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:05,700 whole point of what this Riders trying to get the Hebrew 19 00:01:05,700 --> 00:01:09,400 Christians to do is to move. Forward in their pursuit of God, 20 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,800 not apart from Jesus, but with Jesus is saving power and his 21 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,400 work in them and and and to not leave him in the pursuit of God 22 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,400 altogether. So, in Hebrews chapter 8, I 23 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,000 think the one of the verses it's actually not in the book of 24 00:01:26,008 --> 00:01:29,100 Hebrews, but the verse that kind of sticks out to me in the study 25 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,600 is this verse from Psalm 110 that your people will be 26 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,500 Volunteers in the day of your power. 27 00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:40,200 So we'll get around to And just a minute, but let's take a look 28 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,900 back from last week in the chapter 7 where we left off 29 00:01:43,900 --> 00:01:47,400 talking about this, this mysterious man named Melchizedek 30 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,900 and that is not a name that we use today. 31 00:01:49,900 --> 00:01:51,500 We talked about what that name means. 32 00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:54,800 It had a literal meaning, king of righteousness. 33 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,400 And and it has some connections to Jesus that we talked about 34 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,700 from last time. So just to give us a little bit 35 00:02:01,700 --> 00:02:04,300 of running. Start in verse 14, we said for 36 00:02:04,300 --> 00:02:07,400 it is evident that our Lord speaking of Jesus a row. 37 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,100 Rose from Judah of which tribe. Moses spoke concerning. 38 00:02:11,100 --> 00:02:14,200 Nothing spoke. Nothing concerning priesthood. 39 00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:17,700 And it is yet far more evident. If in the likeness of 40 00:02:17,700 --> 00:02:21,700 Melchizedek there, arises another priest who has come not 41 00:02:21,700 --> 00:02:24,800 according to the law of a fleshly commandment but 42 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,400 according to the power of an endless life. 43 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,000 So that is one of the key ideas. We learn from Melchizedek is 44 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,300 that basically he came from a different priesthood and milk is 45 00:02:35,300 --> 00:02:38,400 a dick was, was a representation of Priesthood. 46 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,000 That would not have it end. That would not have a finite 47 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,600 nature in this life. That Jesus is like Melchizedek. 48 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,600 And that he will have an eternal priesthood in. 49 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,800 Describing Jesus verse 17 for he testifies, you are a priest 50 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,800 forever according to the order of Melchizedek. 51 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,900 So we talked about this last week but we didn't look into 52 00:03:03,100 --> 00:03:06,500 that quotation. We talked about how in Genesis 53 00:03:06,500 --> 00:03:08,900 we learned about milk is A deck and not booked. 54 00:03:08,900 --> 00:03:12,100 But there's actually another passage where this direct quote 55 00:03:12,100 --> 00:03:14,200 comes from that. I would like to talk about for 56 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,800 just a minute as we get started today and that quotation comes 57 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,900 from Psalm 110. So Psalm 110 is the other place. 58 00:03:22,900 --> 00:03:25,800 This is referenced in the Old Testament and they're beginning 59 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:31,800 in verse 1, the psalmist writes. This the Lord said to my Lord 60 00:03:32,300 --> 00:03:36,200 sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your 61 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,500 footstool. So I believe Is talking and you 62 00:03:38,508 --> 00:03:40,700 know, God the Father speaking to Jesus. 63 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,800 The Lord said to my Lord sit at my right hand, until I make your 64 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,900 enemies your footstool, the Lord shall send the rod of your 65 00:03:48,900 --> 00:03:53,100 strength out of Zion rule in the midst of your enemies. 66 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:58,000 Verse 3, your people shall be Volunteers in the day of your 67 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,600 power in the beauties of Holiness from the womb of the 68 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,900 morning. You have the do of your youth. 69 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,400 The Lord has sworn and will not relent you are a priest. 70 00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:10,900 Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. 71 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,000 So that's where that passage is pulled from the fourth verse of 72 00:04:14,008 --> 00:04:17,700 this song. So I kind of since we're here, I 73 00:04:17,700 --> 00:04:19,500 kind of wanted to take a look at this song. 74 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,000 These first few verses and pull out. 75 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,300 Some of the things surrounding the idea of Melchizedek here. 76 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,700 So this is talking about Jesus and the power that he's going to 77 00:04:29,700 --> 00:04:34,100 embody and represent on the earth and I love how it mentions 78 00:04:34,100 --> 00:04:37,200 this in. Verse 3, your people God's 79 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,700 people. In the Old Testament. 80 00:04:38,700 --> 00:04:42,300 God's people were a nation of physical lineage of people who 81 00:04:42,300 --> 00:04:46,000 lived in one area and he worshiped together and had their 82 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,300 own City. Okay? 83 00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:51,600 So he's saying though, your people, God's people shall be 84 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,800 Volunteers in the day of your power. 85 00:04:54,100 --> 00:04:58,400 Now, I believe this day of your power is, can mean a couple 86 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,100 important things. Number one, God's greatest power 87 00:05:02,100 --> 00:05:04,600 on the earth. I believe was enacted by setting 88 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,200 up his church, through the work of Jesus Christ. 89 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,100 So, when Jesus came, and he set up, God's kingdom come with 90 00:05:11,100 --> 00:05:16,900 power, I believe that that is Jesus's beginning of the church 91 00:05:16,900 --> 00:05:21,500 and the Christian age when God's power was represented through 92 00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:24,500 Jesus and his church in his kingdom. 93 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:31,100 Now, I also think it's connected to the preceding phrase that 94 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:36,800 that in the day of God's power, the time in which God's power on 95 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,100 the Earth. Is maybe the strongest or the 96 00:05:40,100 --> 00:05:46,900 most evident, or the most obvious, or real isn't a day 97 00:05:47,100 --> 00:05:49,500 when God's people are volunteers. 98 00:05:50,300 --> 00:05:53,800 Now, if you think about in the Old Testament, there is a sense 99 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,400 in which they were volunteers, that were voluntary offerings, 100 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,000 voluntary service, they would do. 101 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,400 But in some senses, they were just kind of born into a nation. 102 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,900 The beautiful part of the Christian age is we're not made 103 00:06:05,900 --> 00:06:09,900 to do this. It's not because we were part of 104 00:06:09,900 --> 00:06:13,500 some national system that teaches us in our schools, how 105 00:06:13,500 --> 00:06:16,900 to serve, God, and that implements sacrifices between 106 00:06:16,900 --> 00:06:20,400 recess and second class. We're not, that's not the way it 107 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,300 is in our schools, that's not the way the government works 108 00:06:23,300 --> 00:06:25,200 here. Like it might open the Israelite 109 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,400 Nation here today. If you are going to be a 110 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,900 Christian, if you were going to serve God, and if you're going 111 00:06:30,900 --> 00:06:33,800 to be one of his people, it's because your volunteer. 112 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:39,000 And that is a powerful message of Free Will and God's power in 113 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,400 the world because of free will because when God's work is 114 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,100 greatest you know you'll Testament. 115 00:06:46,100 --> 00:06:48,900 God did them. Wonderful amazing Works where he 116 00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:52,700 would set a mountain on fire to symbolize and express his 117 00:06:52,700 --> 00:06:58,300 presence or he would part a sea and congeal it like jello. he 118 00:06:58,300 --> 00:07:02,600 did these amazing things healing people, but I believe that the 119 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,100 day of God's power is maybe the most powerful in the sense that 120 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,800 it could turn somebody from their own way to do God's will 121 00:07:11,900 --> 00:07:16,500 To have a sacrifice and a plan that is so powerful that it 122 00:07:16,500 --> 00:07:20,200 takes stubborn selfish, unrighteous people like you and 123 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,600 me and it turns us into people who will say God, I will do 124 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,500 anything for you. That is God's greatest power. 125 00:07:28,500 --> 00:07:34,000 I believe, on this plane, this world to turn free people into 126 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,600 willing servants. So God's people will be 127 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,000 Volunteers in the day of his power in the beauties of 128 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,500 Holiness from the womb of the morning, you have the do of your 129 00:07:45,500 --> 00:07:49,100 youth that phrase confuse me. So, there's this, this psalmist 130 00:07:49,100 --> 00:07:53,100 is using poetic language, and I had to consult some commentaries 131 00:07:53,100 --> 00:07:55,700 to see what it might have meant this from the womb of the 132 00:07:55,700 --> 00:07:58,200 morning. A little bit confusing to me. 133 00:07:59,300 --> 00:08:04,200 So one of the commentaries I read said this, the figure is so 134 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,500 beautiful. That words cannot explain it. 135 00:08:08,300 --> 00:08:12,300 You have only to stand early, one morning, when the sun is 136 00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:15,200 beginning to shoot its rays of light up into the sky. 137 00:08:15,900 --> 00:08:20,600 And look at the fields all glistening with do and say once 138 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,600 came all these or where did, where did this do come from? 139 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,000 Where did this is sparkling water? 140 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,300 Come from The answer is they came from the womb of the 141 00:08:30,300 --> 00:08:33,200 morning. So when you find the multitudes 142 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:38,400 are saved and you see them coming so mysteriously so gently 143 00:08:38,900 --> 00:08:44,200 so divinely and yet so numerously like that do you can 144 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,600 only compare them to the Dew of the morning. 145 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,700 You say whence came these or where these people come from who 146 00:08:50,700 --> 00:08:54,300 are being saved? And the answer is they have come 147 00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:59,500 from the womb of the morning. So That was more than I could 148 00:08:59,500 --> 00:09:02,200 come up with on my own. You take it for what it's worth. 149 00:09:02,900 --> 00:09:07,500 So the description of being God's people coming like the 150 00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:13,200 womb of the morning, being the Dew of the Youth of God's power. 151 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,400 Another important Point, another important point to notice is 152 00:09:18,500 --> 00:09:22,700 this idea of Youth and power, if someone were to talk about 153 00:09:22,700 --> 00:09:26,200 power, it's from a perspective of physical power, it's usually 154 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,300 a youthful thing. NG you don't describe the human 155 00:09:29,700 --> 00:09:32,900 power by old age. Typically it's it's a it's a 156 00:09:32,900 --> 00:09:37,200 youthful, bolstered strength, that's embodied here. 157 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,100 This one with this idea of the youth. 158 00:09:39,700 --> 00:09:43,100 So he's saying you have the do that word do is often 159 00:09:43,700 --> 00:09:46,600 symbolizing freshness. So when it's talking about, 160 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,700 Jesus has power on the earth and this day, it he has a freshness 161 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,600 and a youthfulness with his strength, on the earth, even 162 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,100 though his plan has been going for a long time. 163 00:09:57,500 --> 00:10:01,400 Jesus play might be 2,000 years old but he's not a 2000 year-old 164 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,600 week. Power weak person, Jesus is 165 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:10,500 Powers great today, it is fresh and he has people coming just 166 00:10:10,500 --> 00:10:13,100 like the Dew of the morning. It's like, how did these people 167 00:10:13,100 --> 00:10:15,200 get here? How is, how are God's people 168 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,100 still coming to serve him? You know, you might think 169 00:10:19,100 --> 00:10:22,200 without, without a draft where everyone is required to enter 170 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,800 the service. This kingdom is going to be 171 00:10:24,808 --> 00:10:28,700 lacking people, right? If God doesn't make people serve 172 00:10:28,700 --> 00:10:33,100 him, this kingdom is going to be short-handed In the beauty of 173 00:10:33,100 --> 00:10:37,000 this passage the Dew of the morning, as look out around 174 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,100 here. Look at this congregation. 175 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,800 There are people who God is working in and saving today. 176 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,500 If we can't even explain it, like the Dew of the morning, 177 00:10:47,700 --> 00:10:50,500 take that for what it's worth. I thought it was interesting and 178 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,500 at least poetic from from the salt. 179 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,100 So Jesus has power is going to be strong on the earth because 180 00:10:58,100 --> 00:11:00,700 people are volunteers today. Verse 4. 181 00:11:00,700 --> 00:11:04,000 The Lord has sworn and will not relent you are a priest forever 182 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,300 according to the order of Melchizedek. 183 00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:10,300 Okay? So just to kind of put a bookend 184 00:11:10,300 --> 00:11:14,700 on chapter 7 and Melchizedek. I don't think he and Melchizedek 185 00:11:14,700 --> 00:11:18,300 is confusing. I think when people Try to and 186 00:11:18,300 --> 00:11:20,800 when I try to look beyond what the scriptures say and figure 187 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,100 out about this milk has a deck that's when it gets confusing. 188 00:11:24,700 --> 00:11:28,900 It's pretty simple idea. The whole point of Melchizedek 189 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,900 is that Jesus came from a different lineage, different 190 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,600 priesthood, that will be Eternal. 191 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,700 And and that stretches beyond the bounds of even the finite 192 00:11:39,700 --> 00:11:43,500 understanding that they would have had of Jewish leadership. 193 00:11:43,700 --> 00:11:46,200 So the Jewish leadership is what they were comfortable with what 194 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,600 they knew and and Jesus is so far beyond that, it's a little 195 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,400 bit strange for them. But nonetheless Jews that 196 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,800 expresses his Jesus power that much more. 197 00:11:57,700 --> 00:11:59,900 He's not from some Earthly lineage. 198 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,400 And I expresses Jesus power. Okay? 199 00:12:03,500 --> 00:12:06,500 For such a high priest was fitting for us, who is Holy 200 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,600 harmless undefiled separate from Sinners and has become higher 201 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,700 than the heavens? Who does not need daily. 202 00:12:12,700 --> 00:12:17,100 As those High priests to offer up sacrifices first for his own 203 00:12:17,100 --> 00:12:21,600 sins and then for the people's for this, he did once for all 204 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:27,300 when he offered up himself. Okay, so now we are Hebrews 8:1 205 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,500 There it says, now this is the main point of the things. 206 00:12:33,500 --> 00:12:38,500 We are saying we have such a high priest who is seated at the 207 00:12:38,500 --> 00:12:42,400 right hand of the Throne of the Majesty in the heavens that 208 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,400 phrase right hand of the throne. The right hand is a place of 209 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,700 respect and honor and power and it's not someone who is at the 210 00:12:50,700 --> 00:12:53,900 foot. He is at the right hand of God 211 00:12:53,900 --> 00:12:57,200 and God's power and notice that he's seated. 212 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,200 You know, when someone has It completed work. 213 00:13:00,300 --> 00:13:04,300 It's like that is symbolized by sitting down and taking, taking 214 00:13:04,300 --> 00:13:06,700 rest, taking completion in that work. 215 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,100 Jesus is seated. At the right hand of God, we 216 00:13:10,100 --> 00:13:14,900 know that Jesus had to stand up when he was showing respect for 217 00:13:14,900 --> 00:13:17,400 a Stephen when he was being martyred, once he was being 218 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,500 killed, but Jesus place. Is it a place that finished work 219 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,400 at the powerful right? Hand of the Throne of the 220 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,400 Majesty in the heavens. Speaking of God and his throne 221 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:32,900 room, Verse 2, a minister of the sanctuary and of the true 222 00:13:32,900 --> 00:13:36,300 Tabernacle, which the Lord directed and not man. 223 00:13:36,500 --> 00:13:39,300 So, in the Old Testament, they had this Tabernacle right where 224 00:13:39,300 --> 00:13:43,200 you had your sacrifices sacrifices or you had your place 225 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,400 of washing, then you enter the holy place where there was the 226 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,500 candlesticks in the showbread and where you had, then in the 227 00:13:49,500 --> 00:13:54,400 most holy place, the Ark of the Covenant and the symbols there. 228 00:13:54,900 --> 00:13:57,200 That was the Tabernacle of the Old Testament. 229 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,000 We've studied about That recently. 230 00:14:00,100 --> 00:14:03,700 He said, Jesus didn't just go in here, like the priest did, and 231 00:14:03,700 --> 00:14:05,200 he didn't even go in the Holy place. 232 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,000 Our he didn't even go into the most, holy place of the 233 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:14,200 Tabernacle that men built, but he is in the true Tabernacle. 234 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,600 In heaven with God. The true place where God dwells 235 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,600 Jesus goes beyond any of these Old Testament ideas. 236 00:14:25,100 --> 00:14:29,300 Verse 3, for every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts 237 00:14:29,500 --> 00:14:34,300 and sacrifices therefore it is necessary that this one also 238 00:14:34,300 --> 00:14:37,000 have something to offer. So, Jesus is going to be our 239 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,300 priest. The priest job was to offer 240 00:14:39,300 --> 00:14:43,400 sacrifices and gifts, to God on behalf of the people, okay? 241 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,600 So this Jesus should have something To offer, what does he 242 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,600 have to offer? Well, let's consider the Old 243 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,400 Testament sacrifices and offerings to get a little bit of 244 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,800 context for what the Jews might have understood here. 245 00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,400 They had five main types of offerings in the Old Testament. 246 00:15:00,900 --> 00:15:03,100 There's a lot of types Within These and so it can get kind of 247 00:15:03,100 --> 00:15:06,200 complicated and a little bit muddy for us who are trying to 248 00:15:06,208 --> 00:15:09,700 understand this later, but there are five main types. 249 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:14,300 The first main type is the burnt, livestock offering, the 250 00:15:14,300 --> 00:15:17,300 burnt offering. And this is in Leviticus chapter 251 00:15:17,300 --> 00:15:19,300 1. The first seven, chapters line 252 00:15:19,300 --> 00:15:23,500 out these main five offerings and the first chapter tells us 253 00:15:23,500 --> 00:15:26,800 that this burnt life, stock offering is an offering of 254 00:15:26,900 --> 00:15:30,600 atonement and I just kind of given some notes here to 255 00:15:30,700 --> 00:15:33,300 something to think about. This is not an exhaustive study 256 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,300 but that was an offering of substitution. 257 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,600 It was a male without blemish. It was a free will offering so 258 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,500 that person, who one of the Israelites who brought that 259 00:15:43,500 --> 00:15:47,200 offering to, to the Nautical, it was of their free will. 260 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,600 It was laid at the door of the Tabernacle, so it gives Specific 261 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,300 Instructions of where it was brought. 262 00:15:54,100 --> 00:16:01,000 And then when he was going to sacrifice this animal, he had to 263 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,200 lay his hand on the head of the animal. 264 00:16:03,900 --> 00:16:05,500 Okay, we'll talk about that a minute. 265 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,300 And that was to transfer symbolically to transfer the 266 00:16:09,300 --> 00:16:13,700 guilt as the offer killed that animal. 267 00:16:14,100 --> 00:16:15,800 Okay. So it was like, this idea, Idea 268 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:20,700 that man had sinned and he had a tone that needed to happen for 269 00:16:20,700 --> 00:16:23,100 his sins. And so he would put his hand on 270 00:16:23,100 --> 00:16:26,400 the head of the animal as to symbolically transfer the sins 271 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,400 to the animal. Okay? 272 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,600 And it was killed by the offer, not the priests. 273 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,500 So the person bringing the sacrifice, was the one who did 274 00:16:35,500 --> 00:16:38,200 The Killing maybe this letting of the throat of this animal. 275 00:16:40,100 --> 00:16:42,500 And I'll just kind of make some side notes here. 276 00:16:42,700 --> 00:16:45,200 It's fascinating when we consider Jesus, who is both the 277 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:50,600 priest and the sacrifice. That Jesus was killed at the 278 00:16:50,608 --> 00:16:54,900 hands of the Jews and Gentiles who laid hands on him. 279 00:16:55,700 --> 00:16:59,300 So when they came to take Jesus, they laid their hands on the 280 00:16:59,308 --> 00:17:02,400 sacrifice. Almost a picture of transferring 281 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,200 guilt to Jesus, as they were going to crucify him for their 282 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,400 sins. They laid hands on him and 283 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:15,500 similar, to this, this offering of atonement, Jesus, brought 284 00:17:15,500 --> 00:17:19,800 himself as a free will offering and he laid his life down when G 285 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,200 when they came to get Jesus. He said you're not coming to 286 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:23,900 take me. I could stop. 287 00:17:23,900 --> 00:17:27,099 You basically if I wanted to, but I am laying my life down to 288 00:17:27,099 --> 00:17:29,300 be very clear. This is a free-will offering 289 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:34,500 from himself and others laid hands on him, okay? 290 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,600 The second type of offering was a grain offering And this isn't 291 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,200 Leviticus chapter to this offering was a type of, was a 292 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,700 kind of Memorial offering. It was finally beaten good 293 00:17:45,700 --> 00:17:47,600 quality flour. So as you'll see what their 294 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,600 sacrifices, it was important that they brought things that 295 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,800 were not just the leftovers or the junk, they brought the best 296 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,100 quality. If it was flower the finest most 297 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:02,100 closely ground flour, it was to be an unleavened sacrifice 298 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,500 offered with oil and frankincense. 299 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,500 And as we consider Jesus, he is Sacrifice of the bread of life. 300 00:18:10,100 --> 00:18:12,300 So, parallels, all throughout these. 301 00:18:12,900 --> 00:18:17,700 These, these sacrifices, the third set type of sacrifice was 302 00:18:17,700 --> 00:18:20,600 a peace offering and we learned that in chapter 3. 303 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,100 That that sacrifice was to be a male or female the offer. 304 00:18:25,100 --> 00:18:28,100 Again kills this one, the blood would be poured outside the 305 00:18:28,100 --> 00:18:31,900 Tabernacle and the interesting thing about this one to me is 306 00:18:31,900 --> 00:18:35,400 that when they brought this sacrifice part of, it was eaten 307 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,400 by the offer, the individual, In the offering part of, it was 308 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,300 eaten by the priests. And another part was sacrificed 309 00:18:43,300 --> 00:18:46,100 to God. So, this peace offering was a 310 00:18:46,100 --> 00:18:50,500 comic was a combining of all the parties involved to offer an 311 00:18:50,500 --> 00:18:54,900 offering of peace and kind of a celebration of Peace in this 312 00:18:54,900 --> 00:18:59,200 relationship with God. It offered praise and not 313 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,200 necessarily confession like some of the other offerings did. 314 00:19:02,900 --> 00:19:05,700 And as we read in the New Testament, Romans chapter 5, we 315 00:19:05,700 --> 00:19:09,400 have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 316 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,000 Colossians 3 verse 15 and let the peace of God rule in your 317 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,300 hearts to, which also you were called in one body and be 318 00:19:17,300 --> 00:19:19,400 thankful. Okay? 319 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,400 Type number four, was a sin offering. 320 00:19:22,500 --> 00:19:25,000 So the first three it seems, we're more of Fellowship 321 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,300 offerings, but now we're getting into the last Which kind of 322 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,500 changes the tone a little bit. The fourth is a sin offering and 323 00:19:33,500 --> 00:19:36,400 chapter 4 and 5. It talks about how unintentional 324 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,700 sins were some covered in these in these sin offerings and some 325 00:19:40,700 --> 00:19:43,100 were groups in. So, if the people as a whole 326 00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:45,100 sin, they might do an offering like this. 327 00:19:45,700 --> 00:19:49,800 And it was to be a bull without blemish as you see, all these 328 00:19:50,300 --> 00:19:54,700 priests here, putting their hands on on this animal. 329 00:19:55,100 --> 00:19:58,700 So as we see this idea come up a lot with Sacrifices, is to be 330 00:19:58,700 --> 00:20:02,900 something without blemish. Something without fault, 331 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,200 something that did nothing to deserve it, and something that 332 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:08,900 wasn't just worth being thrown away. 333 00:20:10,300 --> 00:20:14,100 These are the best. And finally, the fifth offering 334 00:20:14,100 --> 00:20:17,400 was a guilt or sometimes called a trespass offering. 335 00:20:17,900 --> 00:20:22,100 So in chapter five and six, this trespass offering was not made 336 00:20:22,100 --> 00:20:25,100 for group of people, it was made for one person and the 337 00:20:25,100 --> 00:20:27,900 difference between the main difference between this offering 338 00:20:27,900 --> 00:20:31,900 and any other kind, is this offering kind of involves some 339 00:20:31,900 --> 00:20:35,600 kind of restitution, this one involved kind of a paying back 340 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,300 for something, you might have done wrong. 341 00:20:37,300 --> 00:20:39,900 So there might be, there could be a payment associated with it. 342 00:20:41,300 --> 00:20:44,300 So with some of these sin offerings in the the trespass, 343 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,300 it's interesting also that the priest would consume part of 344 00:20:47,308 --> 00:20:50,000 these offerings. This is tied in with ideas of 345 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,400 Jesus, being the priest who took on the burdens in the sins. 346 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,100 So many ideas here that I don't have the level of knowledge 347 00:20:57,100 --> 00:20:59,200 necessarily to filter through all of it. 348 00:20:59,700 --> 00:21:02,400 But on this fifth type of offering, if you read Isaiah 349 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:07,600 chapter 53, talking about the sins are the suffering. 350 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,900 Jesus would go through it says there. 351 00:21:10,700 --> 00:21:15,700 Jesus was going to be. One, who would bear their 352 00:21:15,700 --> 00:21:20,500 iniquities. He was the only one to Bear 353 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,200 guilt for many people in the Old Testament. 354 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,000 Like, I had said that guilt offering was only offered for 355 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,200 one person, but Jesus, it says, in Isaiah 53. 356 00:21:32,300 --> 00:21:35,600 He shall see the labor of his soul and be satisfied by his 357 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,400 knowledge. My righteous servant shall 358 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:42,200 justify many right here for. He shall bear their iniquities. 359 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,100 This is exact language. Is tied to the way they describe 360 00:21:46,100 --> 00:21:51,100 the sacrifices in Leviticus? Jesus was the guilt that you is 361 00:21:51,100 --> 00:21:54,100 the iniquity Bearer. He is that guilt or that 362 00:21:54,100 --> 00:21:57,300 trespass offering. It's very direct correlating 363 00:21:57,300 --> 00:22:01,600 language used here between the Leviticus passage and Jesus 364 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,900 being the one who would bear that he is the guilt offering 365 00:22:04,900 --> 00:22:09,200 for us. Okay, so this idea of 366 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,600 sacrificing animals, never really hit that hard for me. 367 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,600 I don't know about you. But since we've never done it, 368 00:22:18,300 --> 00:22:22,700 since we've never seen it, since we've never really felt what it 369 00:22:22,700 --> 00:22:26,300 feels to do that. I never really hit home with me. 370 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:31,200 until I was doing this study, I started to think about The 371 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,700 process that took for them to prepare this. 372 00:22:34,300 --> 00:22:39,500 And how that offer would bring that sacrifice to the Tabernacle 373 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,100 to bring that sacrifice to the Tabernacle and lay it there. 374 00:22:44,100 --> 00:22:46,700 And it was often a kind of innocent animal. 375 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,200 You noticed that the Bible talks about the lamb being sacrificed, 376 00:22:51,900 --> 00:22:57,100 and Jesus being the Lamb of the world slain for our sins. when 377 00:22:57,100 --> 00:23:00,800 you think about this idea of someone, bringing an innocent 378 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,300 animal, To the Tabernacle to sacrifice. 379 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:10,600 To have his knife there with him to do the job himself that 380 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,700 really hit with me this time reading through this. 381 00:23:14,300 --> 00:23:17,500 You know, because I grew up hunting and fishing and so 382 00:23:17,700 --> 00:23:22,300 killing an animal for for food, really didn't do much to me. 383 00:23:22,300 --> 00:23:25,300 I was flying with the, I grew up doing it, I was used to it but I 384 00:23:25,300 --> 00:23:27,700 know not everyone here is that way, not everyone here could 385 00:23:27,700 --> 00:23:31,900 kill an animal and not everyone is, could even imagine doing 386 00:23:31,900 --> 00:23:35,600 that. But for me it's different 387 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,100 killing for food versus something like they were about 388 00:23:39,100 --> 00:23:43,000 to do. Because when I kill for food, a 389 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,100 lot of times it was at served a purpose. 390 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,400 They would eat these. So, there's a purpose, even for 391 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,700 food for them, for the priests, but it was different in that 392 00:23:51,700 --> 00:23:55,200 this animal. It was no game. 393 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:59,100 Pray, even Hunters today. Have this kind of code that you 394 00:23:59,100 --> 00:24:02,700 don't kill an animal when it's just sitting there or sleeping 395 00:24:02,700 --> 00:24:10,400 or bedded down or defenseless God made this sacrifice system 396 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,200 to show them how wrong it should feel. 397 00:24:15,300 --> 00:24:20,300 Imagine if you took a lamb up to the Tabernacle and you said it 398 00:24:20,300 --> 00:24:24,500 on that altar, And you pull out your knife, you brought with 399 00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:28,400 you. And I want to be graphic, but I 400 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,500 think this is graphic. I think to understand the weight 401 00:24:31,500 --> 00:24:34,000 of it. We have to understand that and 402 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,300 you take that knife and you plunge into the throw to that 403 00:24:37,300 --> 00:24:41,800 poor helpless animal. Think about what that would feel 404 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,200 like. It's not a game animal. 405 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,400 It's not something that was how to defense. 406 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,000 It's not something that had a reason to even be there. 407 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,500 It was a, it was a livestock that you would raised. 408 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,700 Imagine the feeling of that of this isn't, right? 409 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,800 Because when that person would lay their hand on that 410 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,800 sacrifice, That land had no fight in him. 411 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:12,300 That was intended to feel wrong. Because God wanted us to see 412 00:25:12,500 --> 00:25:14,200 that. It took lifeblood. 413 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:19,000 It took life to remove the death, that our sin had entered 414 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,500 into the world. It took a life blood to 415 00:25:21,500 --> 00:25:25,600 sacrifice. For that sin for that atonement 416 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,000 that needed to happen. And so, as I think about the 417 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:34,300 idea of killing something innocent It felt really wrong to 418 00:25:34,300 --> 00:25:38,300 think about it, this time to think about doing something to 419 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:45,500 animal for what I did. so when, when I read John 1:29 is says, 420 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,500 Behold the Lamb of God with which comes to take this away, 421 00:25:50,500 --> 00:25:54,300 the sin of the world that feels wrong from a physical animal 422 00:25:54,300 --> 00:26:00,100 standpoint, more than ever know Soda picture that being said 423 00:26:00,100 --> 00:26:04,500 about, Jesus feels devastatingly wrong. 424 00:26:05,900 --> 00:26:11,900 If Phil's sickening to me to think about laying a hand, even 425 00:26:11,900 --> 00:26:15,000 on an innocent animal and slitting, its throat for 426 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,400 something I did. It should not have happened. 427 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,900 But by God's grace it did. And through these sacrifices, we 428 00:26:24,900 --> 00:26:27,500 can see that. Jesus is our atonement offering, 429 00:26:27,900 --> 00:26:31,000 he is the bread of life, he is our peace offering. 430 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,500 He is our sin offering, and he is our trespass offering. 431 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:41,000 And his innocence, and it's sad to me, considering all this, the 432 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,900 modern Jews today, there are still Orthodox Jews, they call 433 00:26:44,900 --> 00:26:47,700 them that, that claim to practice Judaism, they don't 434 00:26:47,700 --> 00:26:51,900 believe Jesus was their Messiah. And that is so sad to me because 435 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,600 even they don't sacrifice anymore when their Temple was 436 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,600 destroyed. They now say, we don't have a 437 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,200 fit place to sacrifice but it's no accident. 438 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,600 The old law has been abolished. And so today on the day of 439 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,000 atonement, what Jews do Today, they do something pretty similar 440 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,600 to what Christians do they do? Good deeds. 441 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:15,500 And they pray. And it's sad because really the 442 00:27:15,500 --> 00:27:19,600 practicing, just a shadow of a shadow, the Old Law was a shadow 443 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,100 of Jesus to come. And so they're practicing not 444 00:27:22,100 --> 00:27:24,300 even the Old Law. They're not even doing it. 445 00:27:24,500 --> 00:27:28,200 They're just practicing a shadow and trying to hold up the day of 446 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,700 atonement and things like that. But they don't even realize I 447 00:27:32,700 --> 00:27:35,700 feel bad for them. They don't even realize what 448 00:27:35,700 --> 00:27:39,400 they're doing. Because Jesus came to not be a 449 00:27:39,408 --> 00:27:42,500 shadow of a shadow. He came to be the substance of 450 00:27:42,500 --> 00:27:44,300 the sacrifices that they had been. 451 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:50,000 Performing for so many years and I've been doing for so long. 452 00:27:50,100 --> 00:27:55,100 Jesus is the substance. Verse 34, every high priest is 453 00:27:55,100 --> 00:27:58,500 appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices therefore it is 454 00:27:58,500 --> 00:28:02,800 necessary that this one also have something to offer for if 455 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,700 he were on Earth he would not be a priest. 456 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,300 Since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the 457 00:28:08,300 --> 00:28:12,500 law who served the copy, and the shadow of the Heavenly things. 458 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,400 As Moses was divinely, instructed when he was about, to 459 00:28:16,408 --> 00:28:21,100 make the Tabernacle verse 54. He said, see that, you make all 460 00:28:21,100 --> 00:28:23,700 things according to the pattern. Turn shown to you on the 461 00:28:23,700 --> 00:28:27,600 mountain but now he has obtained a more excellent Ministry. 462 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,600 And as much as he is also make mediator of a better Covenant 463 00:28:31,700 --> 00:28:35,300 that word mediator, if you have an argument between siblings, 464 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,600 the person who sometimes there's a third sibling to mediate 465 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,900 between the two and say, hey guys, stop break it up. 466 00:28:42,100 --> 00:28:44,500 You know, that's that's an argument mediator. 467 00:28:44,900 --> 00:28:48,200 But Jesus in a different sense is a mediator and that he's 468 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:52,000 going between us and God and pleading on our behalf to God 469 00:28:52,100 --> 00:28:54,200 damn. Mercy and to forgive us. 470 00:28:55,100 --> 00:28:58,400 So, Jesus is that mediator of a better Covenant? 471 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:03,600 Which was established on better promises verse 7 for. 472 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,000 If that first Covenant had been faultless, then no place would 473 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,800 have been sought for a second because finding fault with them. 474 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,100 He says this. And he, this is where the 475 00:29:13,100 --> 00:29:15,800 quotation of Jeremiah chapter 31 starts. 476 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,200 He says, behold the days are coming, says the Lord when I 477 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,500 will make a New Covenant with the house of Israel and with the 478 00:29:23,500 --> 00:29:27,300 house of Judah, not according to the Covenant that I made with 479 00:29:27,300 --> 00:29:30,500 their fathers in the day, when I took them by the hand, to lead 480 00:29:30,500 --> 00:29:33,900 them out of the land of Egypt because they did not continue in 481 00:29:33,908 --> 00:29:37,200 my Covenant. And I disregarded them says the 482 00:29:37,208 --> 00:29:41,100 Lord goes on to say, for this is the Covenant that I will make 483 00:29:41,100 --> 00:29:43,800 with the house of Israel. After those days, says the Lord, 484 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,200 we're still in that quotation from from Jeremiah. 485 00:29:46,700 --> 00:29:50,700 I will put my laws in their mind and write them on their hearts. 486 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:55,000 So, This is the transition that's going to happen. 487 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,900 This is prophesied long ago that God will put his laws in their 488 00:29:58,900 --> 00:30:02,500 mind and write them on their hearts and Jesus when he came 489 00:30:02,500 --> 00:30:05,300 and delivered his first kind of inaugural message on The Sermon 490 00:30:05,300 --> 00:30:07,400 on the Mount. Jesus came and saying things 491 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,300 like you've heard this, you know, do not kill, do not do not 492 00:30:11,300 --> 00:30:15,400 commit adultery. But even if you think about 493 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,900 those things in your heart and you develop that kind of inward 494 00:30:17,900 --> 00:30:22,600 person that's in, he said, I'm going to write my laws on their 495 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,900 minds and in their hearts and it's not going to just be 496 00:30:25,900 --> 00:30:28,800 written on the tablets of stone, where they would come together 497 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,500 and read them and perform the sacrifices and the rituals he 498 00:30:32,500 --> 00:30:34,700 saw him that, I write it on their hearts and change them 499 00:30:34,700 --> 00:30:38,400 from the inside. That and we also think of the 500 00:30:38,408 --> 00:30:42,300 law of Liberty, referencing Galatians Galatians. 5 verse 16 501 00:30:42,300 --> 00:30:46,000 says, I say, then walk in the spirit, and you shall not 502 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,000 fulfill the lust of the flesh for the flesh. 503 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,900 Lusts against the spirit, and the spirit against the Flesh. 504 00:30:52,100 --> 00:30:55,500 And these are contrary to one another so that you do not do 505 00:30:55,500 --> 00:30:59,400 the things that you wish, but if you are led by the spirit, you 506 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,600 are not under the law, this idea of changing from the inside is a 507 00:31:03,608 --> 00:31:07,700 very new testament idea. And that's represented 508 00:31:07,700 --> 00:31:10,600 especially in Galatians. Now the works of the flesh are 509 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,200 evident which are adultery fornication. 510 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,900 Uncleanness lewdness idolatry sorcery hatred contentions 511 00:31:15,900 --> 00:31:19,100 jealousies outbursts of Wrath selfish, Ambitions, dissensions 512 00:31:19,100 --> 00:31:22,800 heresies, Envy murders drunkenness revelries in the 513 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:27,000 like this is all the works of the Flesh of which I tell you 514 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,400 beforehand. Just as I also told you in time 515 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,000 past that those who practice, such things will not inherit the 516 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:37,600 kingdom of God but this is the Out change. 517 00:31:37,900 --> 00:31:43,100 But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace. 518 00:31:43,300 --> 00:31:47,400 Long-suffering, kindness goodness, faithfulness, 519 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:54,300 gentleness self-control against such there is no law and those 520 00:31:54,300 --> 00:31:57,900 who are Christ's have crucified, the flesh with its passions and 521 00:31:57,900 --> 00:32:04,300 desires from the inside out. Just the passions that we that 522 00:32:04,300 --> 00:32:07,800 we seek in life change when we become true, Christians 523 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:12,100 converted Christians. If we live in the spirit, let us 524 00:32:12,100 --> 00:32:15,400 also walk in the spirit. Let us not become conceited 525 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:20,100 provoking one, another envying, one, another He said I'm going 526 00:32:20,100 --> 00:32:22,700 to write my laws on their minds and in their hearts. 527 00:32:22,700 --> 00:32:25,000 It's not just going to be a list of do's and don'ts. 528 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,100 It's going to be something that they walk in the spirit of God 529 00:32:28,500 --> 00:32:32,500 and walk in his powerful changing qualities from the 530 00:32:32,500 --> 00:32:37,600 inside out and I will be their God and they shall be my people, 531 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,600 I love that line. God claiming ownership of us. 532 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,800 If you hear a parent who's proud of their child talk about that's 533 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,800 that's my boy. That's my girl right there. 534 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,800 She's she's my child. That's Child right there. 535 00:32:51,100 --> 00:32:55,400 God does that with us? I'm gonna be that that 536 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:59,700 Christians God. I'm going to be inserts, your 537 00:32:59,700 --> 00:33:02,300 name. I'm gonna be their God and 538 00:33:02,300 --> 00:33:05,800 they're going to be my people. God says that about you today 539 00:33:06,900 --> 00:33:10,800 and he wants to take ownership of you and he is proud of you to 540 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,800 be his child. He is proud to be your father. 541 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,600 One quote said, the best way to make a man. 542 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,500 Keep a law is to make him love the lawgiver. 543 00:33:22,100 --> 00:33:23,900 No, I'm not a lawgiver, but I'm a teacher. 544 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,400 And since I've developed relationships with my students, 545 00:33:28,100 --> 00:33:30,400 they were a lot of them will probably pretty much do anything 546 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,400 for me and will defend me in a lot of situations. 547 00:33:34,300 --> 00:33:38,100 And that's the way God wants us to see him and that we have a 548 00:33:38,100 --> 00:33:40,800 relationship with him that we will do anything for him. 549 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:46,300 That we will listen to him, if that's what it takes when we 550 00:33:46,300 --> 00:33:51,600 need some change. we must love the lawgiver and that will make 551 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:56,700 it so much easier to understand obeying his law continue on 552 00:33:56,700 --> 00:34:03,000 continuing on, not quotation from Jeremiah still None of them 553 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,400 shall teach his neighbor and none of it. 554 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:09,600 Them has brother saying know, the Lord For All Shall know me 555 00:34:09,900 --> 00:34:12,100 from the least of them to the greatest of them. 556 00:34:12,300 --> 00:34:16,100 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness and their sins 557 00:34:16,100 --> 00:34:21,100 and their Lawless Deeds. I will remember no more God's 558 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,800 power and saving through his mercy. 559 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:28,400 And his righteousness is going to make people search for him. 560 00:34:29,500 --> 00:34:31,699 It says it's going to be from the least to the greatest when 561 00:34:31,699 --> 00:34:33,800 Jesus came. He said if they're not going to 562 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,400 hear me, go into the highways and the byways invite, anyone 563 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,500 who will come and feast on the bread of life and serve me. 564 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,500 Now this phrase, it says here. No one's going to say know the 565 00:34:45,500 --> 00:34:47,199 Lord and teach them about each other. 566 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,699 Are we really not going to know what's going to teach each other 567 00:34:50,699 --> 00:34:53,300 about the Bible? Well we know that's not true 568 00:34:53,300 --> 00:34:56,400 because passages like Romans tell us you know how were they 569 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,200 gonna hear if they don't have a preacher and how shall they 570 00:34:59,300 --> 00:35:00,900 preach? Unless they are sent. 571 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,400 So we need to have people who are teaching God's word. 572 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,700 It's not what this is saying. I believe what it's saying is 573 00:35:07,100 --> 00:35:11,600 they won't necessarily have to have someone Make them and teach 574 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:15,600 them from a young age. All the time that God's great 575 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:20,400 work in his mercy and forgiveness of sins will drive 576 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,400 them to where they don't have to have somebody, like, teach them. 577 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,500 This is what you need to do, but they will come willingly to 578 00:35:27,500 --> 00:35:31,700 serve and to lay down their lives, the mercy driving. 579 00:35:31,700 --> 00:35:33,700 It will call people to the message. 580 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,500 And also because God's people will also no longer be a 581 00:35:37,508 --> 00:35:41,000 physical Nation where they will be taught in their systems and 582 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,500 all those things like like maybe they would have in Jude it and 583 00:35:44,700 --> 00:35:47,800 during Judaism. The world. 584 00:35:47,900 --> 00:35:50,900 In addition, the word will be accessible as opposed to the 585 00:35:50,900 --> 00:35:54,600 tablets possessed and taught by only a few today we have access 586 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:58,400 to God's work freely and so it's not like someone has to teach 587 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:03,900 another through oral tradition, through oral Priestly teaching. 588 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,700 We can all study God's word. We don't necessarily have to 589 00:36:06,700 --> 00:36:10,000 have somebody always tell us. This is what you are do. 590 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,300 I'm delivering you this from God view, we can all read the word. 591 00:36:15,100 --> 00:36:18,300 Also the content will be internally based in command and 592 00:36:18,300 --> 00:36:21,300 ritual. So this is represented in the 593 00:36:21,308 --> 00:36:25,200 concluded, work of Jesus, rather than continual sacrifice. 594 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,700 I think this is represented well, New Testament in Acts 595 00:36:28,700 --> 00:36:34,500 chapter 17. I'll skip down to verse 26. 596 00:36:34,900 --> 00:36:38,300 Paul is talking to the, the people at the areopagus who are 597 00:36:38,300 --> 00:36:40,600 gathered to hear the message of the Gospel, these were actually 598 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:44,800 Gentiles, but it says, and he has made from one blood every 599 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,300 nation of men to dwell on all the face of the Earth and has 600 00:36:48,300 --> 00:36:51,400 determined their pre appointed times and the boundaries of 601 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,200 their dwellings. So they should seek the Lord and 602 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,400 hope that they might grope for him and find him though. 603 00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,200 He is not far from each one of us. 604 00:36:59,900 --> 00:37:04,400 For in him, we live and move and have our being as also, some of 605 00:37:04,500 --> 00:37:08,200 your own poets have said for we are also his offspring 606 00:37:08,500 --> 00:37:11,600 therefore, since we are The Offspring of God, we ought not 607 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,900 to think that the divine nature is like gold or silver Stone 608 00:37:15,100 --> 00:37:17,400 something shaped by Art and man's devising. 609 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,300 Truly these times of ignorance, God, overlooked. 610 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:26,400 But now commands, all men everywhere to repent because he 611 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,100 has appointed a day on which he will judge the world in 612 00:37:29,100 --> 00:37:32,100 righteousness. By the man whom he has ordained. 613 00:37:32,300 --> 00:37:36,100 He has given Assurance of this to All by raising him from the 614 00:37:36,100 --> 00:37:38,300 dead. I think this speech by Paul in 615 00:37:38,308 --> 00:37:41,700 the areopagus sums up, well this gospel message. 616 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,500 The his will is that people will come and seek him and find him, 617 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,600 and that they won't have to just be taught in a religious 618 00:37:50,700 --> 00:37:53,000 government. How to do everything that these 619 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:57,900 people will flock to God to serve him willingly, in our last 620 00:37:57,900 --> 00:38:03,900 verse and Hebrews chapter 8, in that he says a New Covenant, he 621 00:38:03,900 --> 00:38:07,900 has made the first obsolete. Now, what is becoming obsolete? 622 00:38:07,900 --> 00:38:10,800 And growing old is ready to vanish away. 623 00:38:11,500 --> 00:38:14,800 So this is speaking of the Old Testament, the Old Testament is 624 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,100 obsolete. What that means, it's no longer 625 00:38:18,100 --> 00:38:22,100 longer relevant necessarily. For current following, the New 626 00:38:22,100 --> 00:38:26,000 Covenant is, what took its place and fulfilled the Old Testament, 627 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,400 that's Commandments and its ordinances. 628 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:30,900 But the Old Law was not pointless. 629 00:38:31,100 --> 00:38:34,400 In Galatians chapter 3. We read what purpose, then does 630 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,600 the law. Serve this old law, it was added 631 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,100 because of transgressions till the seed should come to whom the 632 00:38:41,100 --> 00:38:42,800 promise. Thomas was made and it was 633 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,000 appointed through Angels by the hand of a mediator we learned 634 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,900 that was Jesus. Now a mediator does not mediate 635 00:38:48,900 --> 00:38:53,500 from one only but God is one is then the law against the 636 00:38:53,500 --> 00:38:55,900 promises of God. Certainly not for. 637 00:38:55,900 --> 00:38:58,700 If there had been a law given, which could have given life, 638 00:38:58,700 --> 00:39:01,700 truly righteousness, would have been by the law, but the 639 00:39:01,700 --> 00:39:05,900 scripture has confined all under sin that the Promise by faith in 640 00:39:05,900 --> 00:39:08,700 Christ Jesus. My be given to those who believe 641 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,900 this phrase, he has confined all Or the scripture can finding all 642 00:39:12,900 --> 00:39:15,300 under sin is that saying there's a trap setting up the Old 643 00:39:15,300 --> 00:39:18,300 Testament as a trap the hot and now you're guilty. 644 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:22,100 No, it just sets. Clear parameters and definitions 645 00:39:22,100 --> 00:39:25,400 that say, because of this law, it's clear to see that. 646 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:29,700 Hey, you're all confined understanding their it clarifies 647 00:39:29,700 --> 00:39:33,500 what God means about, who is under sin, and who is lost in 648 00:39:33,500 --> 00:39:37,300 sin. It's not some trap but before 649 00:39:37,300 --> 00:39:41,100 Faith came, we were kept under guard by the law kept for the 650 00:39:41,100 --> 00:39:44,400 faith, which would afterward afterward be revealed. 651 00:39:44,900 --> 00:39:48,900 Therefore, the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ that we 652 00:39:48,900 --> 00:39:53,000 might be justified by faith. But after faith has come, we are 653 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:57,100 no longer under a tutor. So as I understand a tutor 654 00:39:57,100 --> 00:39:59,300 wasn't just someone, you go to for a little math, homework. 655 00:39:59,300 --> 00:40:03,100 Help a tutor was someone who is kind of like an official Mentor. 656 00:40:03,300 --> 00:40:07,500 They would train you Day after day, as kind of a prepared as a, 657 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,400 as a preparer for a great work that you'll do later in life. 658 00:40:11,500 --> 00:40:15,300 When you're young you need a tutor and in this sense for 659 00:40:15,300 --> 00:40:18,200 someone to teach them until they were ready to take on 660 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:22,500 responsibility, maybe a career, or religious work on their own. 661 00:40:23,900 --> 00:40:27,400 And the Old Testament is saying was that tutor because imagine 662 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:31,400 if Jesus had come, they said, Behold the Lamb of God which 663 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,300 comes to take away the sin of the world and you didn't have 664 00:40:34,300 --> 00:40:37,700 the Old Testament, they would have said, behold who comes to 665 00:40:37,700 --> 00:40:40,000 take care of what if the Lamb of what? 666 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,800 The Old Testament set up a pattern to where they could see 667 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,600 hey I'm confined under sin and help them see that. 668 00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:54,000 Hey, this is what sacrifice is needed for my sins so that when 669 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:58,700 the Lamb of God comes that tutor could pass them off to Jesus and 670 00:40:58,700 --> 00:41:02,000 say they are ready. They're ready to understand why 671 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,200 it's so important that they needed me that they needed God 672 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,100 that they needed, Jesus is saving blood. 673 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,500 So, the Old Testament was that tutor to show these early 674 00:41:12,500 --> 00:41:16,600 Christians of Judaism and to show us today even what it was 675 00:41:16,700 --> 00:41:21,800 really requiring of people. To have a relationship with God 676 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:26,700 and to have his sins atoned for and their spiritual walk a tutor 677 00:41:26,700 --> 00:41:29,600 you might consider out of. This is a bad example but mr. 678 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,600 Miyagi and the Karate Kid. It was someone who brought them 679 00:41:32,700 --> 00:41:36,500 and prepared them for a work. Take it or leave it. 680 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:41,000 So we're going to stop there today at Hebrews chapter 8 and 681 00:41:41,900 --> 00:41:45,200 I'm thankful today that we have a great high priest and a great 682 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:49,800 sacrifice who eliminated the need for sacrifice. 683 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,500 Is to continue. I'm so thankful that we don't 684 00:41:52,500 --> 00:41:56,400 have to do all those sacrifices of innocent animals anymore and 685 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,500 frankly that Nobody Does it. The, the Jews themselves don't 686 00:41:59,500 --> 00:42:04,200 even do it today and we can praise God for his work in that. 687 00:42:04,500 --> 00:42:09,000 And today, if you have not contacted that saving blood, how 688 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,800 could you not? The love of Christ, compels us 689 00:42:13,300 --> 00:42:16,500 through these patches like we've seen that God wants you to 690 00:42:16,500 --> 00:42:18,900 volunteer for his service because of his great work for 691 00:42:18,900 --> 00:42:21,700 you. And he wants to voluntarily, 692 00:42:22,100 --> 00:42:26,600 bring you into his kingdom. So that you would reap. 693 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,200 The benefits that we've talked about today of having your sins 694 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:33,700 forgiven, and having peace with God, and with one another, as we 695 00:42:33,700 --> 00:42:36,800 worship God, if you haven't been ads that Kingdom, you can start 696 00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:40,500 by hearing the word like we've talked about today Believing on 697 00:42:40,500 --> 00:42:43,100 that. Repenting and changing your life 698 00:42:43,100 --> 00:42:46,200 singing, you know, you know what, I'm going to submit my 699 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:50,000 will and go to God's will because I believe in him and 700 00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,400 confess that Jesus Christ. Is the Son of God, be baptized 701 00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,300 for the remission of your sins, you can do that today, we're 702 00:42:56,300 --> 00:42:59,100 happy to take care of that or if you would like the prayers of 703 00:42:59,100 --> 00:43:02,500 the church today.
