1 00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:03,600 This morning. We'd like to talk about a man 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,900 after God's Own Heart and David was said to have been a man 3 00:00:07,900 --> 00:00:14,800 after God's Own Heart. You Know The Saul was the first 4 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,300 king of Israel. He was appointed. 5 00:00:17,300 --> 00:00:23,700 The first King Saul was also a man who was who was he was a 6 00:00:23,700 --> 00:00:30,700 little bit Meek and and shy but after he became King, he did 7 00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:34,300 several things wrong, and God had to remove him. 8 00:00:34,300 --> 00:00:38,600 In fact, on this occasion, he offered his own sacrifice 9 00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:40,900 Samuel. He waited for Samuel for a 10 00:00:40,900 --> 00:00:43,800 while, but somehow Samuel was delayed and so he made the 11 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,500 sacrifice himself. Well, that was unlawful. 12 00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:51,400 He was not, he was not a levite, he was not of the of the tribe 13 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,000 or lineage of Aaron so it was unlawful for him to make a 14 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,200 sacrifice like that. And so Samuel at this time, told 15 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,500 him you have done food SLI, you have not kept the Commandments 16 00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:05,700 of the Lord, Our God, your God, which he commanded you for now, 17 00:01:05,700 --> 00:01:09,900 the Lord who have, who would have established your kingdom 18 00:01:09,900 --> 00:01:13,400 over Israel forever. But now, your kingdom shall not 19 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,600 continue. The Lord has sought for himself 20 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,400 a man after his own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be 21 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:24,100 Commander over his people, because you have not kept what 22 00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:30,000 the Lord commanded you. Now, later, Paul talks about 23 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,300 David, he's in Antioch, and he talks about David and actually 24 00:01:34,300 --> 00:01:39,600 about the, you know, the history of Israel, kind of like Stephen 25 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,900 did in Acts 7, but he comes to this point. 26 00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:46,300 And he says, after he had removed him that his Saul, he 27 00:01:46,300 --> 00:01:50,000 raised up for them. David as king to whom also, he 28 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,200 gave testimony and said, I have found David, the son of Jesse, a 29 00:01:53,208 --> 00:01:58,000 man after my own heart, who will do my will, Will from this man's 30 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,900 seed, according to the promise, God raised up for Israel, a 31 00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:06,900 savior Jesus. Now, our purpose for our lesson 32 00:02:06,900 --> 00:02:11,700 are our intent is to appoint out the things that David did which 33 00:02:11,700 --> 00:02:14,200 qualified him as a man after God's Own Heart. 34 00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:18,400 And also I've Jesus because there are many similar 35 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,800 characteristics, but that's a great compliment to be called a 36 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,600 man after God's Own Heart. That's what we all want to be. 37 00:02:26,500 --> 00:02:31,000 And so what we will do is point out the things David does and 38 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,600 the similarities of Jesus and really point out that we should 39 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:43,200 have that kind of quality too. No, David loved the word of God. 40 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,200 Psalms, 119 and 97. Oh, how I love your law. 41 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,000 It is my meditation. All the day, all of us. 42 00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:58,000 Psalms 119 is talks about the word and how, how David is 43 00:02:58,500 --> 00:03:02,400 thrilled and delighted with the, with the word later on. 44 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,000 He says, I will Delight myself in your Commandments which I 45 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,900 love my hands. Also, I will lift up To your 46 00:03:08,900 --> 00:03:12,700 Commandments, which I love, I will meditate on your statutes. 47 00:03:13,900 --> 00:03:18,700 In Psalms 119 and 11, your word, I have hidden in my heart that I 48 00:03:18,708 --> 00:03:22,300 might not sin against you now. That's how David would keep from 49 00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:24,500 sin, really? You know, it's evident in the 50 00:03:24,500 --> 00:03:28,900 history of David that when he left the God's Commandments was 51 00:03:28,900 --> 00:03:33,800 when he got into trouble as long as he clung to the Commandments 52 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:40,700 of God, he was successful. Psalms 119 and 50. 53 00:03:40,700 --> 00:03:43,400 This is my comfort. In my Affliction, for your word 54 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:50,700 has given me life. Psalms 119 and 165, great peace. 55 00:03:50,700 --> 00:03:54,400 Have those who love your law and nothing causes them to stumble. 56 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,200 Well, Jesus also love the word in his temptation. 57 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:06,500 This is a real example of his loving the law, loving the law, 58 00:04:06,500 --> 00:04:10,300 and always resorting to the law when Jesus was tempted by the 59 00:04:10,300 --> 00:04:12,700 devil after he had fasted for 40 days. 60 00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:15,500 It says he was hungered. And so the devil tempted him and 61 00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:18,300 said, command these stones to be made bread. 62 00:04:18,700 --> 00:04:22,800 And Jesus said it is written man, shall not live by bread 63 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,000 alone, but by every word that proceeds Out of the mouth of 64 00:04:26,008 --> 00:04:31,000 God. He was strong enough to resist 65 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,900 the devil, but the word gave him strength and guidance because 66 00:04:36,100 --> 00:04:40,100 it's written, you don't live by just bread alone, but by every 67 00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:43,500 word that proceeds from the mouth of God, the devil also, 68 00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:47,200 tempted him and took him to a high place. 69 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,800 And he said, cast yourself down because it's written. 70 00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:53,300 He shall give his angels charge, concerning you unless you dash 71 00:04:53,300 --> 00:04:56,000 your foot against the stone. But Jesus said, Said it is 72 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,000 written. You shall not tempt the Lord, 73 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,700 your God. Again, the devil took him and 74 00:05:02,700 --> 00:05:09,000 showed him all of the nations of the world and said, all this 75 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,600 will I give you if you fall down and worship me? 76 00:05:13,700 --> 00:05:15,800 And Jesus commanded him to get away. 77 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,200 Get away with you, Satan for it is written. 78 00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:21,400 You shall Worship the Lord, your God and him. 79 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,500 Only You Shall Serve. And we see obviously that Jesus 80 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:32,700 always resorting to the word and had the word as his guide went 81 00:05:32,700 --> 00:05:35,500 during Temptation and trials, such as these. 82 00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:41,200 And certainly we could take an example from these. 83 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,600 This is a quality of a man. After God's Own Heart, who holds 84 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,000 to the teachings of God and the Commandments of God and lets 85 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:55,000 them guide him and it's it guides him in Temptations. 86 00:05:58,100 --> 00:06:01,000 David had it meditated on his heart all the time. 87 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,200 And also in times of Affliction as Jesus was afflicted with 88 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,500 trials. When we're troubled, when dried 89 00:06:09,100 --> 00:06:13,300 we resort to the word resort to the word and that will give us 90 00:06:13,300 --> 00:06:18,200 strength and guidance. Whenever we're trialed Jesus, 91 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,100 again used the word to fight Temptation and guide him in 92 00:06:21,100 --> 00:06:23,800 truth and defend him against false worship. 93 00:06:25,300 --> 00:06:29,200 We could all take a lesson from that and let the word guide us 94 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,800 in everything we do in worship and in life. 95 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,400 And a man after God's Own Heart, will use the word for all of 96 00:06:37,407 --> 00:06:45,900 these benefits. The psalmist Psalm. 97 00:06:45,900 --> 00:06:50,400 So 1 + 1 through 3 blessed, is the man who walks not in the 98 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,500 counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of Sinners, 99 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,000 nor sits in the seat of the scornful. 100 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,100 But his Delight is in the law of God. 101 00:06:58,100 --> 00:07:02,100 And in his law, he meditates day and night, he shall be like a 102 00:07:02,100 --> 00:07:04,200 tree planted by the rivers of water. 103 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,400 That brings forth its fruit in its season, whose Leaf shall not 104 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,500 wither and whatever he does shall prosper. 105 00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:22,200 David also love to pray. He says in Psalms 116 and 1 into 106 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,300 I love the Lord because he has heard my voice and my 107 00:07:26,300 --> 00:07:29,400 supplications because he is inclined his ear to me. 108 00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:37,500 Therefore I will call upon him as long as I live. 116 12, 109 00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:40,200 through 13. What shall I render to the Lord 110 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,300 for all his benefits towards me? I will take up the cup of 111 00:07:43,300 --> 00:07:47,400 Salvation and call upon the name of the Lord, David recognize 112 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,600 that in the Lord was, was all the benefits in the Lord was, 113 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,100 and is wonderful to have the ear of the Lord, because that's 114 00:07:55,100 --> 00:08:01,400 where he received his salvation. One night, 145 an 18 through 19, 115 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,400 the Lord is near to all who call upon him to all who call upon 116 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,100 him in truth. He will fulfill the desires of 117 00:08:08,100 --> 00:08:11,200 those who fear Him. He will also hear their cries 118 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:16,200 and save them. Jesus also was a man of Prayer. 119 00:08:17,700 --> 00:08:22,600 I had not really noticed this scripture before but Luke 5 and 120 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:27,500 16 so he withdrew so he himself often withdrew Into the 121 00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:30,800 Wilderness and pray. Jesus did tried to get away from 122 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:35,600 the crowds during his ministry and he would go to a secluded 123 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,200 place or a high place away from the crowd so that he could 124 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:43,600 meditate and pray. Luke 11 and 1. 125 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,900 Now it came to pass as he was praying in a certain place when 126 00:08:47,900 --> 00:08:51,200 he ceased that one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, 127 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,400 teach us to pray as John also taught his disciples. 128 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,800 This is when Jesus gave them what, what they refer to as the 129 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,100 Lord's Prayer was really the disciples prayer because he gave 130 00:09:02,100 --> 00:09:05,400 him them that prayer as an example and taught his 131 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:11,900 disciples, how to pray. Also this verse here, Luke 18 132 00:09:11,900 --> 00:09:16,400 and 1 through 5 here, Jesus teaches us, a an important 133 00:09:18,100 --> 00:09:22,600 aspect of our prayer. We should continually Come To 134 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:27,500 God In Prayer often. And he says to them, this 135 00:09:27,500 --> 00:09:31,700 parable about men ought to always pray and not lose heart, 136 00:09:31,700 --> 00:09:36,100 you know, sometimes it's hard to see God's answers and sometimes 137 00:09:36,100 --> 00:09:41,100 we just need to continue to petition God for Our needs and 138 00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:45,500 also with Thanksgiving, he says here that if there's a certain 139 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,900 way in a certain city a judge who did not fear, God nor regard 140 00:09:50,900 --> 00:09:53,500 man. Now there was a widow in that 141 00:09:53,500 --> 00:09:56,800 City and she came to him saying, get Justice for me from my 142 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,500 adversary and he would not for a while. 143 00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:02,900 But afterward he said within himself though, I do not fear 144 00:10:02,900 --> 00:10:07,700 God nor regard man yet because this Widow troubles me, I will 145 00:10:07,700 --> 00:10:09,900 Avenger less by her continual. Coming. 146 00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:14,200 She weary me. now, this is not comparing God to an unjust 147 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:19,900 judge, though, in a sense it is, God is just But this was just a 148 00:10:19,900 --> 00:10:25,400 man, if we could convince a man who doesn't regard God or 149 00:10:25,408 --> 00:10:31,000 doesn't regard man to help us by are continually coming and 150 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,700 continually petitioning him. Certainly God would who loves us 151 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,700 help us. And in our time of need and 152 00:10:38,700 --> 00:10:46,300 answer our prayer. Jesus often resorted to prayer 153 00:10:46,300 --> 00:10:50,600 and in the garden, we know that in Jesus prayed so earnestly in 154 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,100 the garden before his crucifixion. 155 00:10:54,300 --> 00:10:59,100 That's a that's a terrible scene but Jesus, three times, he took 156 00:10:59,100 --> 00:11:02,600 his disciples with him to watch for him while he went to saw 157 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:07,300 apart and and prayed and he prayed so earnestly and of 158 00:11:07,300 --> 00:11:12,300 course, he knew what was ahead. But he prayed to God for 159 00:11:12,300 --> 00:11:18,300 Comfort, or for strength, or if there was any other way, and it 160 00:11:18,300 --> 00:11:23,400 says that sweat, as great drops of blood fell from his brow. 161 00:11:24,300 --> 00:11:31,600 So he there's an example of earnest and, and deep I guess 162 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:40,700 prayer to God in times of trial. On the cross Jesus called to 163 00:11:40,700 --> 00:11:46,200 God, several times, Luke 23 and 34 Jesus said, father forgive 164 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,700 them for they know, not what they do later on. 165 00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:52,900 As Jesus was, was suffering on the cross. 166 00:11:52,900 --> 00:11:55,900 So and God black the sky with clouds. 167 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,600 He felt he left. He felt alone, and he cried out 168 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,500 with a loud voice saying, Eli, Eli Lama sabachthani. 169 00:12:04,500 --> 00:12:06,800 That is my God. God my God. 170 00:12:07,100 --> 00:12:11,000 Why have you forsaken me? And then when he died just 171 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,800 before he died, he called out, father into the, your hands. 172 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:21,300 I commit, my spirit. So at Jesus, most troubled time 173 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,500 he called to God several times. You know, we can do that at any 174 00:12:25,500 --> 00:12:27,800 time, we can, we can speak to God. 175 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,900 Because God, we know that God hears, our prayers, Philippians 176 00:12:31,900 --> 00:12:36,100 4 and 6, be anxious for nothing. But in everything by prayer and 177 00:12:36,100 --> 00:12:39,000 supplication with Thanksgiving, let your requests be made known 178 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,000 to God. God and the peace of God, which 179 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,200 passes all understanding will guard your hearts and Minds 180 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:52,300 through Jesus Christ. First Thessalonians 5 and 17. 181 00:12:52,300 --> 00:12:54,900 Pray without ceasing in everything. 182 00:12:54,900 --> 00:12:58,100 Give, thanks for this is, the will of God in Christ Jesus 183 00:12:58,100 --> 00:13:01,500 concerning. You David, certainly found peace 184 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:06,500 and, and comfort in prayer. And he prays, he said, 185 00:13:06,500 --> 00:13:10,200 continually Proverbs twenty thirty two and five. 186 00:13:10,500 --> 00:13:14,400 I acknowledged my sin to you and my iniquity. 187 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,500 I have not hidden. I said I confess my 188 00:13:17,500 --> 00:13:21,000 transgressions to the Lord and you forgave the iniquity of my 189 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:30,900 sin sayla. You know, he says he confesses 190 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,900 his sin, he doesn't hold back his sin from God. 191 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:40,700 And in doing so God forgives, he felt the Forgiveness of God. 192 00:13:40,700 --> 00:13:47,200 He found comfort and forgiveness of his sins C'est Le is means 193 00:13:47,300 --> 00:13:51,300 Clark says, this is all true. I know it. 194 00:13:51,300 --> 00:13:53,600 I feel it. I felt it. 195 00:13:54,900 --> 00:13:57,000 This is used often times in the Hebrew. 196 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:02,300 In the Psalms and that's what it means. then he says, for this, 197 00:14:02,300 --> 00:14:06,400 cause further in that verse for this, cause everyone who is 198 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,000 Godly, shall pray to you for this cause for the forgiveness 199 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,200 for the comfort and the Forgiveness that we receive from 200 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,500 God, through our prayers for this, cause everyone who is 201 00:14:16,500 --> 00:14:20,600 Godly, shall pray to you in a time when you may be found 202 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,000 Surely in a flood of Great Waters in a time. 203 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,500 When you may be found, that means not that God has a 204 00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:31,300 schedule. Then there are times when he can 205 00:14:31,300 --> 00:14:38,300 be found, you know, that kind of makes me think about Frank 206 00:14:38,300 --> 00:14:43,300 recently, talked about Elijah and his, and his competition, or 207 00:14:43,300 --> 00:14:47,800 his, his, his challenge to the prophets of Baal. 208 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,600 He says, you pray to bail and I'll pray to God. 209 00:14:50,700 --> 00:14:54,400 And whoever Brings fire upon his own sacrifice. 210 00:14:54,700 --> 00:14:58,000 That is the true God, and they prayed all day long. 211 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:04,200 Did all kinds of things, cut themselves and, and as was their 212 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,300 custom to try to get bail to hear them and Elijah chided 213 00:15:08,300 --> 00:15:10,600 them. He says, call louder, maybe he's 214 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:16,000 asleep, or maybe he's on a journey or you know, thing is he 215 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,300 was just mocking them but God isn't like that. 216 00:15:18,300 --> 00:15:24,300 God, hears us when we come to him with a contrite and honest 217 00:15:24,300 --> 00:15:28,500 heart, when we confess our sins, don't hide them from God, 218 00:15:28,500 --> 00:15:32,600 they're Hidden from God anyway but confess them that's when he 219 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,400 will be found. Surely in a flood of Great 220 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,500 Waters. Others think this has to do with 221 00:15:38,500 --> 00:15:41,200 the flood. Surely in the floods of Great 222 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,900 Waters. They shall not come near him. 223 00:15:43,900 --> 00:15:47,800 That is the Sinners at the time of the flood were destroyed by 224 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,200 the but the righteous were saved. 225 00:15:50,700 --> 00:15:53,700 But Clark says this and I think this is fit it. 226 00:15:53,700 --> 00:15:58,500 More fitting. The flood of Great Waters is the 227 00:15:58,500 --> 00:16:03,700 challenges of the righteous and The Temptations or Trials of 228 00:16:03,700 --> 00:16:06,700 life. They won't bother us. 229 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:15,300 If we go to God with a contrite and honest open heart, you are 230 00:16:15,300 --> 00:16:18,200 my Hiding Place. You shall preserve me from 231 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,800 trouble. You shall surround me with the 232 00:16:19,808 --> 00:16:29,600 songs of Deliverance. Hebrews 4 and 16. 233 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,900 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace. 234 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:39,700 That we may obtain mercy and find Grace to help in time of 235 00:16:39,700 --> 00:16:44,600 need. A man of God's Own a man. 236 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,300 After God's Own Heart. Surely should be a man of 237 00:16:48,300 --> 00:16:52,300 Prayer. David love to praise God. 238 00:16:53,700 --> 00:16:58,500 He says in Psalms 119 164 seven times a day. 239 00:16:58,500 --> 00:17:01,700 I praise you because of your righteous judgments. 240 00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:11,200 Psalms 95 and 10 come, let us sing to the Lord. 241 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,400 Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our Salvation. 242 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,900 Let us come before his presence with Thanksgiving. 243 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,200 Let us shout joyfully to him with Psalms for the Lord, is the 244 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:25,599 great God and the great king above all gods, in his hands, 245 00:17:25,599 --> 00:17:27,200 are the Deep places of the Earth. 246 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,000 The heights of the hills are his own. 247 00:17:29,100 --> 00:17:33,300 He is also. The sea is his for he made it 248 00:17:33,300 --> 00:17:35,600 and His Hands formed, the dry land. 249 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,800 O come let us worship and Bow down. 250 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,200 Let us kneel before the Lord our maker for. 251 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,900 He is our God, and we are the people of his pasture and the 252 00:17:43,900 --> 00:17:50,000 Sheep of his hand. Psalm 104, I will sing to the 253 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,300 Lord, as long as I live, I will sing praises to my God while I 254 00:17:53,308 --> 00:17:59,500 have been And of course, Jesus love to praise God, too. 255 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:06,300 When, when Jesus had the Rich Young Ruler, come to him and ask 256 00:18:06,300 --> 00:18:10,400 him for advice about obtaining. The Kingdom of Heaven, he said, 257 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,400 good teacher, or good Master. The King James says, what shall 258 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,300 I do that? I may inherit eternal life and 259 00:18:16,300 --> 00:18:19,100 Jesus said to him, why do you call me good? 260 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:23,700 No one is good. But one that is God, Jesus. 261 00:18:23,700 --> 00:18:31,200 Recognize the almighty as first. And even Jesus, who certainly 262 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:37,000 was worthy of a of a good name and to be called good, but he 263 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,900 taught a lesson here that God is the one to be praised and 264 00:18:41,900 --> 00:18:48,800 honored. Jesus John in the latter part of 265 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:54,300 John, just before Jesus trial and, and and crucifixion. 266 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,400 He goes at length, that talks about Jesus prayer and him, and 267 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:03,000 Jesus is talking to God, and to the end to the disciples. 268 00:19:03,700 --> 00:19:06,300 And here, he says to spin a prayer. 269 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,600 I have manifested your name to the men whom you have given me 270 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,600 out of the world. They are yours. 271 00:19:12,700 --> 00:19:15,400 You gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 272 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,500 Now, they have known that all things, which you have given me 273 00:19:18,500 --> 00:19:23,300 are from you. For I have given to them The 274 00:19:23,300 --> 00:19:26,900 Words, which you have given me and they have received them and 275 00:19:26,900 --> 00:19:31,500 have known surely that I came forth from you, and they have 276 00:19:31,500 --> 00:19:36,300 believed that you sent me the point in this, in this reading, 277 00:19:36,300 --> 00:19:42,700 is that see how Jesus points to God, everything he taught he 278 00:19:42,700 --> 00:19:44,500 emphasized. This is from God. 279 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,900 I am from God, my teaching is from God. 280 00:19:48,100 --> 00:19:53,000 This is from God, and even in his prayer, he A sizes to God, 281 00:19:53,500 --> 00:19:56,500 that they know that you have sent me. 282 00:19:56,500 --> 00:19:59,000 And the words I have given them are from you. 283 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,400 Here Jesus says, I do not pray for these alone but also for 284 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,300 those who will believe in me through their words that they 285 00:20:13,300 --> 00:20:15,700 all may be one as you father are in me. 286 00:20:15,700 --> 00:20:21,500 And I in you that they also may be one in us that the world may 287 00:20:21,500 --> 00:20:24,900 believe that you sent me and the glory, which you gave me, I have 288 00:20:24,900 --> 00:20:28,700 given them that they may be one. Just as we are one. 289 00:20:28,700 --> 00:20:33,200 I in them and you in me that they may be made perfect in one 290 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,200 And that the world may know that you have sent me and have have 291 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:45,300 loved them as you have loved me. This is a quote from Barnes 292 00:20:45,300 --> 00:20:48,700 commentary and I thought it was very well. 293 00:20:48,700 --> 00:20:54,400 Put he says here, we value the prayers of our Pious friends. 294 00:20:54,900 --> 00:20:58,500 How much more should we value this petition of the Son of God 295 00:20:59,100 --> 00:21:01,700 to that single prayer? We who are Christians? 296 00:21:01,700 --> 00:21:06,400 Oh, infinite lie, more real benefit than the world can ever 297 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,200 bestow. And in the midst of any trial 298 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,000 that we we may remember that the Son of God, pray for us. 299 00:21:13,100 --> 00:21:16,500 Us and that the prayer Was assuredly Heard and will be 300 00:21:16,500 --> 00:21:19,600 answered in reference to all who truly believe. 301 00:21:20,700 --> 00:21:25,300 I thought that was such a good quote and the point is really 302 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,500 Jesus prayed for all who would come after, who would believe 303 00:21:30,700 --> 00:21:34,000 And so all were included in this prayer. 304 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:45,300 We need to love to praise God. Do we love to praise him? 305 00:21:46,500 --> 00:21:49,500 do we love to come to the assembly and praise him or do we 306 00:21:49,500 --> 00:22:01,400 praise Him throughout our week at home with our children or And 307 00:22:02,700 --> 00:22:07,100 in our work do we show by our conduct that we love and praise 308 00:22:07,100 --> 00:22:08,200 God. Matt. 309 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,800 And and, and, and through our conduct is God, glorified and 310 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,800 praised. Psalms 147. 311 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,300 And one, praise the Lord for it is good to sing praises to our 312 00:22:20,300 --> 00:22:24,300 God for his Pleasant and praise is beautiful. 313 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,400 A man after God's Own Heart will love to praise him. 314 00:22:30,900 --> 00:22:36,200 David loved Unity among Brethren, behold, how good, and 315 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,400 how pleasant it is for Brethren to dwell together in unity. 316 00:22:42,500 --> 00:22:47,400 When? When David had finished slaying 317 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:52,200 Goliath. And after after that, the armies 318 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,500 of Israel were were strengthened. 319 00:22:55,600 --> 00:23:01,500 They were, they were encouraged because now, this Philistine was 320 00:23:01,700 --> 00:23:05,200 was dead, who had tormented them and that frightened them. 321 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,100 And they did had a great victory over the Philistines, but when 322 00:23:10,100 --> 00:23:13,600 they came back, David was introduced to Saul, Here. 323 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:19,500 And then when it says when when he had finished When he had 324 00:23:19,500 --> 00:23:24,500 finished speaking to Saul the soul of Jonathan was knit to the 325 00:23:24,500 --> 00:23:30,900 soul of David. Frank recently talked about how 326 00:23:30,900 --> 00:23:34,900 Jonathan and David were such close friends but you know, the 327 00:23:34,900 --> 00:23:37,100 term soul mate. As always kind of bothered me 328 00:23:37,100 --> 00:23:42,800 and thought it was kind of a psychological Ploy or a term to 329 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,500 find your soulmate. But here in the scriptures, we 330 00:23:46,500 --> 00:23:51,400 find soul mates. Saul and Jonathan Souls were 331 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:58,200 knit together and says The soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul 332 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:03,100 of David and Jonathan loved him as his own soul Saul took him 333 00:24:03,100 --> 00:24:06,000 that day and would not let him go home to his father's house 334 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,300 anymore. Then Jonathan and David made a 335 00:24:08,308 --> 00:24:12,900 covenant because he loved him as his own soul and Jonathan took 336 00:24:12,900 --> 00:24:16,600 off the robe that was on him and gave it to David with his armor 337 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,700 even to his sword and his bow and his belt. 338 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:29,200 Even though David, by the way often had trouble yet, Jonathan 339 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,600 was on his side and Jonathan helped him even when there was 340 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,000 trouble. But David loved the unity that 341 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,000 he had with Jonathan. Jesus. 342 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:44,300 Also love unity and we already noticed this this verse 7, John 343 00:24:44,300 --> 00:24:47,100 17, 22 and the glory which you gave me. 344 00:24:47,100 --> 00:24:51,700 I haven't given them that they may be one just as We Are One. 345 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,700 And that the world i in them and you in me that they may be made 346 00:24:57,700 --> 00:25:01,000 perfect in one and that the world may know that you have 347 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,400 sent me and have loved them as you have loved me. 348 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:13,600 If he's just 2 and 13. But now in G in Christ Jesus you 349 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,400 who once were afar or far off have been brought near by the 350 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,700 blood of Christ. It's through Christ were made 351 00:25:20,300 --> 00:25:27,000 one as Christ is with God. They are 1.we to in him are made 352 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,700 one with Christ. And with God for he himself is 353 00:25:30,700 --> 00:25:35,300 our peace who has made both one and has broken down the middle 354 00:25:35,300 --> 00:25:38,000 wall of partition having abolished in his flesh. 355 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,000 The enmity that is the law of the Contained in ordinances. 356 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,600 So as to create an himself, one new man from the two, thus 357 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,200 making peace and that he might reconcile them. 358 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:52,500 Both to God in one body through the cross there, by putting to 359 00:25:52,500 --> 00:25:56,200 death the enmity. Now, we've been studying 360 00:25:56,300 --> 00:26:02,700 recently in Acts 10 about the Gentiles being brought into the 361 00:26:02,700 --> 00:26:09,200 the full of Christianity because before they were separated, The 362 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,800 Jews and the Gentiles. But Paul says, here we're made 363 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,600 one were made one. We're all made equal Jews and 364 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,800 Gentiles alike. He says, later, Bond and free 365 00:26:18,900 --> 00:26:22,400 male and female were all one in Christ. 366 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,100 Christ is taken down the middle wall of partition, or the thing 367 00:26:27,100 --> 00:26:30,300 that divided them. There was still, some prejudices 368 00:26:30,300 --> 00:26:35,700 in the hearts of men, but not in the mind of God, because all who 369 00:26:35,700 --> 00:26:38,900 obeyed? The gospel are children of God 370 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:48,900 and members of the same body? What I mean by this, do we love 371 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:53,000 unity enough to pay the price because it takes effort to have 372 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:58,700 Unity. It takes obedience, it takes a 373 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:04,600 focus to go the same direction and we're guided that way 374 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,500 through the word Ephesians 4:1. I therefore the prisoner of the 375 00:27:08,500 --> 00:27:12,100 Lord beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you 376 00:27:12,100 --> 00:27:15,200 are called with all lowliness and gentleness with 377 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,500 long-suffering. Bearing with one another in love 378 00:27:18,500 --> 00:27:21,300 endeavoring to keep the unity of the spirit. 379 00:27:22,300 --> 00:27:26,100 In the bond of Peace. There is one body and one Spirit 380 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,100 just as you are called in one, hope of your calling. 381 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:35,300 The calling of God makes us one. That is the calling of the 382 00:27:35,300 --> 00:27:38,500 Gospel. This is Paul's plea, that we 383 00:27:38,500 --> 00:27:42,600 would be one, but it takes work. We need to have a lowly and a 384 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,900 gentle heart. Patient bearing with one another 385 00:27:46,900 --> 00:27:51,800 in love endeavoring to keep the unity of the spirit, the unity 386 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:57,200 of the spirit that's key because it is the spirit that guides us 387 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:02,300 through the work. He says, now I urge you Brethren 388 00:28:02,300 --> 00:28:06,800 to note those who cause Division and offences contrary to the 389 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:13,500 doctrines, which you her learned and avoid them, Paul had trouble 390 00:28:13,700 --> 00:28:17,600 with with Judy izing teachers, following him wherever he would 391 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,200 go, it's amazes me. I've always thought, don't they 392 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:25,500 have anything else to do? But they would follow Paul and 393 00:28:25,500 --> 00:28:28,500 they would cause division in the church by saying that the 394 00:28:28,500 --> 00:28:31,300 Gentile converts and To keep the law of Moses. 395 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,800 And that they didn't, they weren't Christians. 396 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:38,600 But of course, that wasn't true. And that was part of what 397 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:43,200 happened to the gym, to the Galatians who had Paul had to 398 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,500 rebuke. And, and he said, I Marvel that 399 00:28:45,500 --> 00:28:48,200 ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace 400 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:52,600 of God, unto another gospel, they were being taught, another 401 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,300 gospel, they needed to hold to the one that they had talked 402 00:28:56,300 --> 00:28:59,300 been taught he says, which is not another, but there be some 403 00:28:59,300 --> 00:29:01,800 that would burrow Pervert the gospel. 404 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,600 They taught something else than what they had received. 405 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:11,500 So we need to, we need to recognize men who teach other 406 00:29:11,500 --> 00:29:19,200 things and avoid them. Jesus said greater love has no, 407 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,000 man than this that a man lay down. 408 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,100 His life for his friends, you are my friends. 409 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:32,600 If you keep, if you do whatever, I command you, we need to, we 410 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,300 need to do what Jesus commands. Keep his Commandments. 411 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:45,300 And if we do, we are as friends. David hated every false way. 412 00:29:45,300 --> 00:29:50,400 This is sort of akin to the last one because David David 413 00:29:50,500 --> 00:29:56,600 expresses that his his his hate for every false way through your 414 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,400 precepts. I get understanding. 415 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,000 Therefore I hate every false way. 416 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,400 The false way is aside from the precepts of God. 417 00:30:05,500 --> 00:30:09,100 Through God's precepts. David says, I get understanding 418 00:30:09,100 --> 00:30:12,600 therefore I hate every false way. 419 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,400 I will set nothing Wicked before my eyes. 420 00:30:17,500 --> 00:30:21,200 I hate the work of those who fall away, I shall not cling. 421 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,600 It shall not cling to me. A perverse. 422 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,600 Heart shall depart from me. I will not know wickedness. 423 00:30:29,500 --> 00:30:34,100 My eyes you'll be on the faithful of the land, they shall 424 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:38,300 that, they may dwell with me. He Who Walks in a perfect way? 425 00:30:38,300 --> 00:30:41,000 He Shall Serve serve me. He who works. 426 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,900 Deceit shall not dwell it with within my house. 427 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,700 He who tells lies shall not continue in my presence. 428 00:30:49,700 --> 00:30:54,000 That was David's attitude towards the false way and Jesus 429 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:59,200 to hated every false way. Remember, when Jesus went to the 430 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,700 temple of God and he saw the money changers tables out in 431 00:31:02,700 --> 00:31:08,100 front who were, who were selling sacrifices doves and, and, you 432 00:31:08,108 --> 00:31:11,600 know, whatever other things, the people needed to do their 433 00:31:12,100 --> 00:31:16,800 sacrifices and they were extorting the people, And Jesus 434 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,700 overturned the tables. Then Jesus went into the temple 435 00:31:19,700 --> 00:31:22,300 of God and drove out. All those who bought and sold in 436 00:31:22,300 --> 00:31:25,500 the temple and overturned the tables of the money changers and 437 00:31:25,500 --> 00:31:27,200 the seats of those who sold doves. 438 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:28,800 And he said to them, it is written. 439 00:31:29,300 --> 00:31:32,900 My house shall be called a House of Prayer, but you have made it 440 00:31:32,900 --> 00:31:44,100 a den of Thieves. Jesus rebuked the the Pharisees 441 00:31:44,100 --> 00:31:49,400 and the scribes, the lawyers in a lengthy reading. 442 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:53,400 But let's read it because it really it really emphasizes 443 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:59,700 Jesus attitude towards the towards the wicked. 444 00:31:59,700 --> 00:32:06,900 We're going to read through verse 20, 36:13 through 36 woe 445 00:32:06,900 --> 00:32:10,500 to you, scribes and And Pharisees Hypocrites for you. 446 00:32:10,500 --> 00:32:13,200 Shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men for you. 447 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,900 Neither go in yourselves nor do you allow those who are entering 448 00:32:16,900 --> 00:32:21,300 to go in, woe to you scribes and Pharisees Hypocrites for you. 449 00:32:21,300 --> 00:32:24,900 Devour widows houses and for a pretence make long prayers. 450 00:32:24,900 --> 00:32:28,700 Therefore you will receive the greater condemnation woe to you 451 00:32:28,700 --> 00:32:33,500 scribes and Pharisees Hypocrites for you travel, Land and Sea to 452 00:32:33,500 --> 00:32:37,500 win one proselyte and when he is one, you make him twice as much. 453 00:32:37,500 --> 00:32:39,400 A son of hell. As yourselves. 454 00:32:41,300 --> 00:32:44,800 Woe to you blind guides, who say, whoever swears by the 455 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,300 temple, it is nothing. But whoever swears by the gold 456 00:32:47,300 --> 00:32:52,000 of the temple, he is obliged to perform it fools blind for which 457 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,900 is greater the gold or the temple. 458 00:32:53,900 --> 00:32:57,100 That's actor. Sanctifies the goal and whoever 459 00:32:57,100 --> 00:33:00,400 wears swears by the altar, it is nothing, but whoever swears by 460 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,300 the gift that is on it, he is obliged to perform it fools and 461 00:33:04,300 --> 00:33:07,800 blind for which is greater the gift or the altar that Sakura 462 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,200 sanctifies the gift. Therefore he who swears by the 463 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:16,100 altar swears by it and all, and by all things on it, he who 464 00:33:16,100 --> 00:33:20,300 swears by the twin Temple swears by it, and by him who dwells in 465 00:33:20,300 --> 00:33:24,300 it, he who swears by Heaven swears by The Throne of God and 466 00:33:24,300 --> 00:33:30,600 by him who sits on it, woe to you scribes and Pharisees 467 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,000 Hypocrites for you, pay tithe of mint and anise and cumin and 468 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,300 have neglected, the weightier matters of the law, Justice and 469 00:33:37,300 --> 00:33:40,300 mercy and Faith. These you ought to have done and 470 00:33:40,300 --> 00:33:45,100 not leaving the other without leaving the others undone blind 471 00:33:45,100 --> 00:33:49,700 guides who strain out a gnat and swallow, a camel woe to you 472 00:33:49,708 --> 00:33:52,600 scribes and Pharisees Hypocrites, for you cleanse, the 473 00:33:52,608 --> 00:33:55,600 outside of the cup and dish. But inside they are full of 474 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,700 extortion and It's blind Pharisees. 475 00:33:59,700 --> 00:34:03,600 First clean the inside of the cup and the dish and that the 476 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:09,100 outside of them may be clean. Also, Woe to you scribes and 477 00:34:09,100 --> 00:34:12,800 Pharisees Hypocrites because you build the tombs of the prophets 478 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,699 and Adorn, the most monuments of the righteous and say if we had 479 00:34:16,699 --> 00:34:19,100 lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have 480 00:34:19,100 --> 00:34:22,500 pertain partakers of them with them in the blood of the 481 00:34:22,500 --> 00:34:24,900 prophets. Therefore you are witnesses 482 00:34:24,900 --> 00:34:27,600 against yourself that you are the sons of those who murdered 483 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:31,300 the prophets fill up then the measure of the your father's 484 00:34:31,300 --> 00:34:34,900 guilt, serpents brood of vipers.

Therefore in. 486 00:34:37,199 --> 00:34:41,300 Indeed I sent to you profits wise men and scribes some of 487 00:34:41,300 --> 00:34:44,100 them you will kill and crucify and some of them you will 488 00:34:44,100 --> 00:34:48,900 Scourge in your synagogues and persecute from City to city that 489 00:34:48,900 --> 00:34:50,800 on. You may come all the righteous 490 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,000 blood shed on the earth from the blood of the righteous Abel to 491 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,700 the blood of Zechariah, the son of berechiah on whom you 492 00:34:57,700 --> 00:35:01,000 murdered between the temple. And the altar assuredly, I say 493 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,000 to you all these things will come upon this generation. 494 00:35:05,900 --> 00:35:09,100 Of course, a lot of commentary could be made on these on these 495 00:35:09,100 --> 00:35:16,800 verses, but, you know, it's so much like the world today that 496 00:35:17,100 --> 00:35:22,500 have the keys to the kingdom in the word of God, but they don't 497 00:35:22,500 --> 00:35:24,500 go in and they won't let anybody else. 498 00:35:24,500 --> 00:35:26,800 They won't teach anybody else. The truth that they may enter, 499 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,600 either they had the keys, those scribes and Pharisees were the 500 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,700 religious leaders of the Jews. The lawyers who Read and 501 00:35:34,700 --> 00:35:37,500 interpret the law. The scribes who wrote the law, 502 00:35:37,900 --> 00:35:41,100 the, the Pharisees and Sadducees, who taught the people 503 00:35:41,100 --> 00:35:44,300 led the people. They taught them in air and led 504 00:35:44,300 --> 00:35:51,100 them in error and so they were there in, he said, Would be the 505 00:35:51,100 --> 00:35:55,500 end of those who killed and had the blood of the prophets on 506 00:35:55,500 --> 00:35:58,000 their hands that would be their end. 507 00:35:58,500 --> 00:36:03,700 And that'll be the end of all those who do not love the truth, 508 00:36:03,900 --> 00:36:07,300 and hate every false way. Hold to the truth. 509 00:36:07,300 --> 00:36:14,400 That is the admonition to to us. though, we walk in the flesh, we 510 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,000 do not war, according to the flesh for the weapons of our 511 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:21,000 Warfare are not carnal, But Mighty in God, for pulling down 512 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:28,400 strongholds, casting down imaginations and every Casting 513 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,900 down arguments and every High thing. 514 00:36:31,100 --> 00:36:35,100 The new King James says imaginations arguments and every 515 00:36:35,100 --> 00:36:38,500 High thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God 516 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:44,000 bringing into captivity bringing every thought into captivity to 517 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:52,800 The Obedience of Christ. It was said of David that he 518 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:59,500 would do, all my will and that's what made him a man of after 519 00:36:59,500 --> 00:37:05,000 God's Own Heart. Jesus said I come to do thy will 520 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:09,100 o God. And in Hebrews 5 and 8 though he 521 00:37:09,100 --> 00:37:12,300 were a son yet learned he obedience by the things which he 522 00:37:12,300 --> 00:37:17,100 suffered Jesus obeyed God by going to the cross that was his 523 00:37:17,100 --> 00:37:21,600 mission. And that was his call of God. 524 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:26,500 And by doing that, he was obedient to God, Ephesians 525 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,900 Philippians 2, and am being found in fashion. 526 00:37:28,900 --> 00:37:34,000 As a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even 527 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,800 the death of the Cross. He was a man after God's Own 528 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,700 Heart, too. Just as David, he did, all the 529 00:37:41,700 --> 00:37:46,000 will of God, And so how about us? 530 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:52,300 That's the conclusion. Are we people after God's Own 531 00:37:52,300 --> 00:37:55,600 Heart as David and Christ were men and women? 532 00:37:57,900 --> 00:37:59,600 Not everyone, that saith unto me. 533 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,600 Lord. Lord shall enter into the 534 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:05,500 kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of my Father in 535 00:38:05,500 --> 00:38:08,200 Heaven. The man after God's Own Heart, 536 00:38:08,500 --> 00:38:14,300 will do his will, and will do all of his will, and that's what 537 00:38:14,300 --> 00:38:16,100 we should be. It would be wonderful to be 538 00:38:16,100 --> 00:38:18,200 called a man after God's Own Heart. 539 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,300 We thank you for listening to our podcast, put on by the 540 00:38:23,300 --> 00:38:29,000 Church of Christ at 22:15 plans.
