Get to our website or Facebook 8 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:28,960 page through the links below. Mission. 9 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:35,080 The Kingdom of God is within me. Do you believe it? 10 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:41,040 Shout Hallelujah, praise God, that is amazing. 11 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,320 And that Kingdom will keep growing, will never diminish. 12 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,640 If we host it rightly, it is going to really keep increasing. 13 00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:54,840 Praise God S We are studying the book of Galatians. 14 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,160 We done with chapter 3 last week and we go into chapter 4 now, 15 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,480 but it is not something different. 16 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,840 It is actually a continuation of the end part of chapter 3 is 17 00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:08,960 spilling over into chapter 4 as well. 18 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:17,240 So you see in chapter 3 verses, particularly 23 to 25, it talks 19 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:23,800 about life before coming into Christ, what we were before we 20 00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:27,680 believe in Jesus. So it talks about before this 21 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,640 faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up 22 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,000 until faith should be revealed and other things he talks about. 23 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:41,720 We were basically slaves to sin, slaves to the law. 24 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,880 And then what happens to those who believe in Jesus was 26 25 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,200 onwards. You are all sons of God through 26 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,600 faith in Christ Jesus. You are sons of God through 27 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,680 faith in Jesus Christ. That is the new status, new 28 00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,840 standing. So you are no longer a slave, 29 00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:03,880 but a son. Tell your neighbor you are no 30 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,840 longer a slave, but you are a son. 31 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:15,200 That's amazing, isn't it? One of the things we need to do 32 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,400 is to tell yourself every day I am a child of God. 33 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,320 I am a son of God. I am a daughter of God. 34 00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:25,000 We have to make that proclamation to yourself. 35 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,120 Why you are likely to forget when you go, when you hit the 36 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:34,800 next emotional button alarming you of something that's 37 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,600 happening in your life, you are going to say, oh, what am I 38 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,560 going to do? Fear comes. 39 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,280 Somebody says a bad word to you, somebody threatens you. 40 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,840 You know, some relationship is being upset. 41 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,680 Your employer was unhappy, your boss was unhappy. 42 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,400 That is the time you need to know that you are the Son of 43 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,000 God, a daughter of God. It's very important. 44 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,120 We have to keep saying it to ourselves every day. 45 00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:03,600 So you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 46 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,440 So baptized into Christ you will close with Christ. 47 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,160 So many other things he talks about, but now he's 48 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,720 transitioning into a little more further. 49 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,240 He wants to develop this idea again. 50 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,920 In chapter 4, verses one to three, he talks about our life 51 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,280 as a slave or before we believe in Jesus. 52 00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:31,120 And from verses four to seven he talks about life in Christ, who, 53 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,120 who? Who we are in Christ before, 54 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,200 before we believe in Christ, after we believe in Christ. 55 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,760 That's being compared in this thing. 56 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,240 So here he is talking about basically he is talking about 57 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,960 slave and a son. Everybody say slave and a son. 58 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:55,160 So who is a slave and can he became a son in the Roman world 59 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,800 during the time of Paul and Jesus. 60 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,520 During that time slaves are slaves. 61 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,960 They traded. You can sell a slave, buy a 62 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,640 slave. That is how it happens. 63 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,480 But somebody desires to set a slave free. 64 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,600 He pays the money, he buys him, but he is not a slave anymore. 65 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,200 He says I set you free, go. He has a right to be set free. 66 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:25,600 So at the same time, when in matters of inheritance property, 67 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:31,360 what they used to do is you make up a will and you say this is my 68 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,960 will, this property, this land, this field goes to my son. 69 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,800 But the son is only now 4 year old, Oregon 3 year old, But he 70 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,840 will become entitled to this property, to this field, when he 71 00:04:44,840 --> 00:04:46,960 attends the age of, let us say 18. 72 00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:51,360 That is what we believe now. It is not 18 in Roman time, so 73 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,280 let us say 18 years of age. Until then, who takes care of 74 00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:56,360 it? There are caretakers who take 75 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,160 care of it, wardens who take care of it. 76 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,000 So that property is owned by the child. 77 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,760 But it is no better than a slave because it has no right to 78 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,320 decide what to do with the property. 79 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:16,880 Am I communicating here? So the slave, the sun is like a 80 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,920 slave. Now, what is Paul trying to do 81 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,520 here is he's using a common illustration to drive home a 82 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:29,240 theological point, a theological point, a very important 83 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,360 theological point. He's driving home by using this 84 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,840 analogy of slave and the sun. Slave stands for your life under 85 00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:41,320 the law and the sun stands for your life under Christ. 86 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:46,240 Am I making sense here? I don't want to rush through, 87 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,760 you know I can just blah blah, I can blast and go away, but you 88 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,120 do not benefit anyone. So I want you to understand and 89 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:58,720 let the Word sink in your heart. You are no longer under the law, 90 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,480 but you are in Christ set free as a sun. 91 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,600 So under the law you are a slave. 92 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,720 In Christ you are a son, you are free. 93 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,680 That is basically the thing. So how do we explain it? 94 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:20,920 How do we explain this one? An heir can be has not mature, 95 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,280 he is not attained the maturity to own things. 96 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:30,400 So when he touches that age prescribed by the Father, and 97 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,720 then he becomes entitled to entitled to it. 98 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,720 Now Paul is again, you know, his very brilliant brain. 99 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,640 It takes a long time of meditation to understand what 100 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,560 Paul is saying. What he was trying to say is in 101 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:48,320 the same way God has allowed the law to govern the people for 102 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,760 nearly 1500 years from the time of Moses. 103 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,960 He gave the 10 commandments and those 10 commandments were given 104 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,640 so that people can know that they cannot attain eternal life 105 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,640 by doing it because they are going to fail it. 106 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:07,000 Even if they fail once in one matter all their life, it's all 107 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,280 going to be waste. That's the reason why law is 108 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,040 given so that it's like a it's like a school teacher leading or 109 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:20,040 teaching a small student, giving information and making them to 110 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,920 mature, become matures. The law is like a school teacher 111 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,760 leading you to Christ. That is a job. 112 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,800 That's a function that's in chapter 3. 113 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:33,040 Now in chapter 4 he is saying the same thing again here. 114 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,600 What am I saying is that as long as heir is a child, he is no 115 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,960 different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate. 116 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,240 Now many of us Christians are also living like a slave, not 117 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,920 like a son. We are not living like an heir. 118 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,560 We are living like a slave because we don't know what we 119 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,880 own, because we don't know what we possess, because we do not 120 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:01,200 know our new standing in Christ, because we do not know what is 121 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:06,120 ours in Christ. When you know it, you will 122 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,880 behave like it, you will practice it, you will believe 123 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:14,680 it, you will do it. But again, when you are a slave, 124 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:19,800 you have no right of your own. You are being controlled by your 125 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:24,680 master. But when your son, you are free, 126 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,400 nobody is going to force you. You are going to be freely going 127 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,799 to do what the law demands because love fulfills all law. 128 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,360 You will walk in love. But what I was thinking, more 129 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,960 and more I was thinking about it, I want to make something 130 00:08:40,039 --> 00:08:44,080 visually stimulating and something that communicates. 131 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,600 I just want to volunteer. Can I have Simon here? 132 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:54,080 I don't see OK, I am going to say some things is not true 133 00:08:54,080 --> 00:09:00,040 about you, OK, Let us say he is a Christian, OK? 134 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,040 He is a born again believer and I am the devil. 135 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:11,640 OK now OK, don't run away. Let us say he told a lie. 136 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,400 He just said some lie somewhere somebody asked him some 137 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:17,680 question. He says no, no, no. 138 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,200 He tells a lie. I am the devil. 139 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,800 So I look at Simon and say, hi, buddy, you are really doing 140 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,880 well. You know, I'll teach you how to 141 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,400 do more better. You can tell better lies without 142 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,440 being detected. How do you feel that? 143 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,720 See, this is how the devil is going to do that. 144 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,520 You tell a lie, you are partnering with Satan. 145 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,800 He is the father of lies. And Jesus said he's been telling 146 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:52,240 lies from the beginning. And the law is similar to it. 147 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:57,400 You are going to be under its power and you have no power to 148 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,680 overcome it. But when you are set free, you 149 00:10:00,680 --> 00:10:03,920 can walk in freedom. You can walk in freedom same way 150 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:08,480 some other, let's say the job of devil is basically, you know, to 151 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,120 steal, kill and destroy. These are the three functions, 152 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,800 steal, kill and destroy. Suppose let's say again Simon 153 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,880 Sharp lifts something from the somewhere. 154 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,120 OK, then again my role is like a devil. 155 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,760 I will say well done, you know, well done. 156 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,960 I will tell you how to rob the bank next day. 157 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,880 Thank you Sir. OK, so this is how you partner 158 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:42,640 with devil when we I am not going into bigger sins, murder 159 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,320 and things. I am just taking simple stealing 160 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,600 and telling lies. You know, this is very common. 161 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,040 Very common. Believers are into it. 162 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:58,560 White lies, Gray lies, black lies, all kinds of lies. 163 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,120 Is not right. Is not right. 164 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,920 When we do it. You are walking into the 165 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,680 territory of the Saturn. And he says he puts his hand on 166 00:11:08,680 --> 00:11:11,120 your shoulder. Let's go for a walk. 167 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:19,120 I like you very much. But when you say no to sin, when 168 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,640 you say no to sin, the Holy Spirit comes along, puts his 169 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,040 hand on you, say well done, thank you for resisting it. 170 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,720 I love to make you holy. I want to make you like Jesus. 171 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,560 I want to feel you with my power. 172 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,080 It is very simple. I want to communicate to the 173 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,160 down to the level, you know, to the extent that anybody can 174 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,880 understand. So this is how we need to 175 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,720 partner with God, not with the devil. 176 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,200 And it is going to be exciting walk with God. 177 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,200 We are going to walk with God. It is going to be very exciting 178 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,360 and that is what we need to know. 179 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:58,160 So he has the slave and the free son is free slave has no 180 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,080 freedom. But when when he Paul is talking 181 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:09,960 about this again in verse three, he says three verse 4. 182 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:16,320 But when the time had fully come, when the time had fully 183 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:22,800 come, what is he trying to say? He is again alluding to that 184 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:28,800 analogy of the heir who is a child but who has doesn't 185 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,640 possess everything. He has to wait for the time to 186 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,440 come. If the age when he becomes 187 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:40,920 possesses what is his is 18, he has to wait until his 18 years 188 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,640 of age. Same way for the whole timeline 189 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:49,120 from the time God created Adam and Eve, He has also set this 190 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,760 timeline. And He gave the law so that we 191 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:56,720 can be led to Christ, the law to make us helpless, to prove that 192 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,240 we cannot save ourselves. And now when the time is fully 193 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:05,040 come, that time when is fully come He sent His Son. 194 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,560 Why? Because you are going to walk 195 00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:16,400 into the new freedom. So the more I was thinking 196 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,200 about, the more I was just rejoicing. 197 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,320 By God, who can beat your intelligence? 198 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:24,800 We can never teach anything to God. 199 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:30,440 He's the wisest, best person and he has planned everything. 200 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,760 So that's the reason why we Christians believe in 201 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,600 progressive revelation. What's the progressive 202 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,240 revelation? You don't have it all in one go, 203 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,280 but little at a time. You understand the plans of God, 204 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,000 purposes of God. The more you study the Word of 205 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,400 God, the more you are filled with the mind of God. 206 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:57,160 How to draw the mind of God? Fill yourself with the Bible. 207 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,360 Why should you read Bible every day? 208 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,640 By the way, I just want to ask you this question. 209 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,880 How many of you have read Chapter 4 of Galatians 2 before 210 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:16,400 you came here? 1234 I was sitting down and 211 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,880 thinking, you know, every week I ask this question, one or two 212 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,360 hands go up. How many minutes do we have in a 213 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,160 week? It's more than 10,000, more than 214 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,440 10,000 minutes. And how long does it take to 215 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:35,600 read chapter 410 minutes out of the 10,000 minutes? 216 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,760 Can we not have 10 minutes to read and say what am I going to 217 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,080 hear this Sunday? I am not trying to accuse you, 218 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,320 my friends. No, no, I want to encourage you. 219 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,480 I want to encourage you. Is the Holy Spirit coming along 220 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,760 and putting his hand on your shoulder saying you can do it, 221 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,760 you can do it Now? Is there anybody here who 222 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,280 doesn't want to see a revival? I want to see your hand. 223 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,600 No, you all want to see revival, but what is the price? 224 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,400 The price is you invest into studying this word. 225 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,960 When you study the Word, you know the mind of God and when 226 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,800 you know the mind of God, you do it. 227 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:17,840 Riva welcomes the whole week I was praying God send new people, 228 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,160 send new people, send new people. 229 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,080 And of course we see some new people today praise God for 230 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,560 them. God is a God who answers prayer. 231 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:31,680 So we believe that we have to grow and make an impact upon the 232 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:36,440 city and that is possible only when you give yourself to study 233 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,840 the Word, read the word, study it, let it dominate your 234 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,920 thinking and your mind. That is how revival comes. 235 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,520 So next thing that we see here is God sent his Son. 236 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,240 And this is very important. God sent his Son is a very 237 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,200 important one. What does it mean? 238 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:05,560 Think of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit before anything was 239 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:10,240 created, before anything was created, they had a discussion. 240 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,040 And in the discussion part we are going to let us make you 241 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,520 know, that's what he talks about, man and woman. 242 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,880 And he said let us make man in our image. 243 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:20,880 But what about the rest of the creation? 244 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,040 Did they have a discussion? They did. 245 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:28,280 Did they discuss, OK, we are going to create a tree of 246 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,280 knowledge of good and evil and a tree of life. 247 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,960 And when they eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, 248 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,080 they are going to become sinners, they are going to 249 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,880 become shame, they will become aware of shame and they are 250 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,400 going to be separated from us. Then what should we do? 251 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:48,280 We have to save this people, that discussion between the 252 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:53,360 Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. And the Son says I will go. 253 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:59,840 And Father says, yes, you will go, I will send you. 254 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:06,319 So this kind of a thing happens much before the timeline begins. 255 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,720 Before the timeline, the clock started ticking, God the Father, 256 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,640 Son, the Holy Spirit of desire. So God sent his son then and 257 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,160 there before the timeline began. And which happened in time, 258 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:23,960 space history, 2000 years ago. Are we together? 259 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,600 So God sent his son. So when God sent his son, does 260 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,120 son have to say, yes, I want to go? 261 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,960 If father says go and son says no, I don't want to go. 262 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,600 Like we have a parable. Is it going to work? 263 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,720 It's not going to work. But what the father says, the 264 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,280 son says, what the son says, the Holy Spirit says. 265 00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:48,800 There's a unity and uninterrupted flow of 266 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,360 communication between the fathers and the Holy Spirit so 267 00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:53,360 that those words are very important. 268 00:17:53,360 --> 00:17:57,600 God sent his Son is very important. 269 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:03,400 The initiative is taken by the Father and by the Son. 270 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,200 So that's very, very important for us. 271 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:11,440 And so when Jesus was sent, he was sent by the Father on a 272 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,920 mission. The mission begins before the 273 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:19,160 creation. The mission begins before 274 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,560 creation. Jesus was given. 275 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,600 That is the aspect of the love of the father. 276 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,960 When he says I will send my son, he's going to lose something 277 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,440 very big. He's going to die for the whole 278 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,520 humankind who all the people. He's going to die for the whole 279 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,640 human race. And that is not easy on the 280 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,480 father. So it is a great sacrifice. 281 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:48,080 It's a great sacrifice. I'm telling you, every parent 282 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,480 will know when the child gets sick. 283 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,680 If it is just a small core, you will not bother with just a 284 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,440 fever. OK, give some panadol, give some 285 00:18:58,440 --> 00:18:59,920 paracetamol. He will be all right. 286 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:05,040 But if he falls down and breaks his head, or he falls down, 287 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,240 breaks his hand or a foot, then you are more concerned, more 288 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,000 worried. What's going to happen? 289 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:11,880 He will. Will he be all right? 290 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,600 Will he walk forever in his life? 291 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,480 Is it going to be crippled forever? 292 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,400 So much of tension comes upon you. 293 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,680 I tell you, human fathers, human mothers feel so bad for the 294 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,760 children. How that is going to be on the 295 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:29,040 Father when he thinks about human people whom he is going to 296 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,400 create in his own image with free will, are going to sin and 297 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,040 to set it right, he has to send his son Jesus into the world. 298 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,520 How painful that's going to be for the Father. 299 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:47,640 Jesus died upon the cross, but the pain goes into the heart of 300 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:53,120 the Father, and the pain afflicts the Holy Spirit. 301 00:19:54,120 --> 00:19:57,920 You see it in the Book of Revelation that the Lamb of God 302 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:03,080 was appeared, I mean was appearing slain with the seven 303 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:07,320 horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God gone 304 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,920 into all the world. What does it mean? 305 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,440 That means you cannot separate the Son and the Holy Spirit. 306 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,480 You cannot separate the Son and the Holy Spirit. 307 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:21,040 You do not see the Holy Spirit. I mean, you cannot feel it. 308 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,760 You cannot see Him. But when Christ was suffering, 309 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,440 He was suffering too. And when Christ was suffering, 310 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,920 Father was suffering too. That pain is a pain to everyone 311 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:36,320 in the Godhead. So when God says He sent His 312 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:43,320 Son, He is saying, I feel for my people whom I made in my own 313 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,560 image to save them. I want to send my son. 314 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,920 I want to send my son. And that is a painful decision. 315 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,800 But God had to make it before the time began. 316 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:06,280 And then Jesus had to say, I go the obedience. 317 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:11,760 Jesus had to obey the Father. Yes, obey the Father and the 318 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,360 Father says Son is now. Time has come. 319 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,200 The full fullness of time has come. 320 00:21:16,360 --> 00:21:19,240 Now we have to go down and become a human being. 321 00:21:20,120 --> 00:21:24,600 I said yes long time ago, but now I have to think about it. 322 00:21:25,120 --> 00:21:30,520 Is it going to be like that? No, in God things are fixed. 323 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:36,080 They don't change with time. They don't change with time. 324 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,440 I'm telling you these words that I'm speaking should encourage 325 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,760 everyone of us. Why? 326 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,920 Because in God things are fixed. He has decided to bless you and 327 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,720 in fact, He already has blessed you with every spiritual 328 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,320 blessing in Christ Jesus. And that is something that will 329 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,600 not be shaken. Unmovable fact. 330 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:01,360 You are blessed based on the character of God, you are 331 00:22:01,360 --> 00:22:04,080 blessed. Nothing is going to change it. 332 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,560 The more you believe it, the more you will see the power of 333 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:08,960 God. Really. 334 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,320 City of situations you are going to be overcomer. 335 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:17,480 Knowing that in God things are fixed is a great comfort, a 336 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:27,480 great source of comfort. So you see, God gave his son. 337 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:32,280 John 316. That's where you see God gave 338 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,120 his son. Why did he give? 339 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,680 So whoever believes in Him may not perish, but have everlasting 340 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:43,760 life. And then you see in John 1628 I 341 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:48,160 came forth from the Father. Is Jesus saying I came forth 342 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:53,240 from the Father? He is the one who came, but God 343 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,200 sent him and He came. They are not two different 344 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,160 things that don't gel, but they gel together. 345 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,400 Father says I want you to go. Son says I want to go. 346 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:12,640 John 1628 and then John 11 say in the beginning was a word and 347 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,520 the word was with God and the word was God. 348 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,840 His pre existence is what makes his life precious. 349 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,720 Why Jesus life is more valuable because he existed before all 350 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,680 time before anything was created. 351 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,120 He was with the Father and he was God. 352 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,680 I mean, when people came and asked John the Baptist, who are 353 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,360 you or is the Christ, he said no. 354 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,480 But about Christ, what did he say? 355 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:44,480 He was before me. You and I, we come into 356 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,880 existence the moment the Father and mother decide to have 357 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:53,000 children and we are conceived and we begin, we begin to exist. 358 00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:55,040 But it is not so with Jesus Christ. 359 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,800 He existed before all time. He was with the Father. 360 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,640 Some of us can impact our community in a greater way. 361 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,040 You can take Martin Luther King junior or senior, whatever, 362 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:20,440 Mahatma Gandhi. You can take many, many, many of 363 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:26,160 the people in history they have impacted, but it is not the same 364 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:30,880 as the life of Jesus because they were all sinners. 365 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:36,120 They were all sinners. They did sin, and because they 366 00:24:36,120 --> 00:24:38,520 committed sin, but they also did some good things. 367 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,400 We talk about the good things, not the bad things, but it is 368 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,040 not so with Jesus. He was sinless Son of God, and 369 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,800 He lived and died without any sin in Him. 370 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,880 That's the reason why His life is precious, that life is able 371 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:57,040 to forgive sins of all mankind because He lived a sinless life. 372 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,720 That is why it has immense value. 373 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:05,400 It has got great power. His life has great power. 374 00:25:09,120 --> 00:25:12,720 The best comparison is John the Baptist. 375 00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:17,040 What did Jesus say about him? Jesus said among those who are 376 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,360 born of a woman, there is no one greater than John the Baptist, 377 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,000 but the one who is saying it was greater than John the Baptist. 378 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,120 Jesus himself was greater than John the Baptist, but he said 379 00:25:29,120 --> 00:25:30,800 there is no one greater than John the Baptist. 380 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:38,040 So we have here one person being labeled as the best, and you 381 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,280 have Jesus who is better than the best. 382 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:47,760 He's better than the best. He became one with us so that we 383 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:52,720 may become one with Him. Ultimate purpose of God is that 384 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:57,160 He should come down, become like one of us so that we can become 385 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:02,400 like Him. This is not originating from 386 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,160 human mind. My friends, brothers and 387 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,680 sisters, this is the counsel of God. 388 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,640 This is the plan of God. This is the will of God. 389 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,080 This is the pleasure of God. This is the intelligence of God. 390 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,840 This is all that God is. The salvation is not a simple 391 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,320 salvation. Somebody told you Jesus died for 392 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,080 you. Say Jesus, forgive me, come into 393 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:24,920 my heart. It is not as simple as that. 394 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,920 It is full of depth and meaning and that has to transform your 395 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,600 life. When you look into the Son of 396 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,480 God who came into the world, it should not leave you the same. 397 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:43,240 If you do not change, you keep telling lies, compromise, cheat, 398 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:49,320 taxes, whatever we do, if you are Christians born again, we 399 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,000 are bringing disrepute to this Son of God who shared his 400 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,360 precious blood for us. That's the reason why sin and 401 00:26:57,360 --> 00:27:00,960 Christian mutually they are not compatible. 402 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,080 We have nothing to do with the world, nothing to do with the 403 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,320 Satan, nothing to do with the sin. 404 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:12,560 We are saved from the world, taken out of the world and we 405 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:18,840 are children of God. It is so easy. 406 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,840 I find so many people, some someone. 407 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,560 I don't see them for a couple of weeks. 408 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,440 Let's say I run into them in the supermarket. 409 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,400 Hey, I didn't see you at the church for two weeks. 410 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,320 Oh, this, this is reason he gives. 411 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,560 And then later on I come to know he went for a holiday to 412 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,320 Queenstown. It's a lie. 413 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,360 What I meant to, what I mean to say is let's speak truth always. 414 00:27:43,360 --> 00:27:46,440 Why am I so much hanging on the lie part? 415 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,640 Because Satan is the father of lies. 416 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,720 You don't partner with him. The moment we speak lies, we are 417 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,880 partnering with him. We are inviting him. 418 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,120 We are giving him keys to our life. 419 00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,560 That is going to devastate your life. 420 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,840 Let's not do it. Let's be clean before God. 421 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:10,400 So when we say his born of the next thing that we see here is 422 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,560 that he is born of a woman, born to a woman. 423 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:21,520 This is the flashback is Genesis 315 after he spoke to Adam and 424 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,440 Eve and to the Satan. What did he say to Satan, to the 425 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,680 snake? Because what you have done is 426 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,240 not right. Because of this, I curse you 427 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,520 above all animals. You will be crawling on the 428 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:37,040 belly, you will eat the dust of the earth, and then he what will 429 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:42,800 say I put enmity between her offspring, her seed and your 430 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,080 seed. You will crush, he will crush 431 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:51,680 your head, but you will bruise his heel. 432 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:58,880 Seed, seed. The seed refers to Jesus Christ, 433 00:28:59,960 --> 00:29:04,440 so he did not say to Adam and Eve your seed, Adam and Eve your 434 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,280 seed. No, from day one it is decided 435 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:11,800 that Adam seed is not going to partake there directly. 436 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,000 Is only indirectly. It is her seed. 437 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,880 Where does she come from? She comes from both Adam and 438 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,000 Eve. Mary is not just born aloof by 439 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:28,240 herself, she is coming down and Adam and Eve together are there 440 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,440 in her. But particularly because of the 441 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,640 virgin birth, she's not going to have a son through Joseph. 442 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,400 It is by the Holy Spirit. That's the reason why the day 443 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,320 sin entered the world. The Father said through her 444 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:47,640 seed, meaning the Savior is going to come through human 445 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,200 being. He's going to be a human being 446 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,040 born to Mary who is going to be a virgin birth. 447 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,040 I thought we talk about the wisdom of God there now 448 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:03,400 thousands of years in advance. He proclaims the gospel. 449 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,000 He proclaims the gospel. John, Genesis 315. 450 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,600 That's just quite amazing to me. As I was thinking about it, the 451 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:16,080 more and more I thought I said this is too much, but that's the 452 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,440 gospel, the depths of the gospel. 453 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,000 So his participate in the humanity, which includes being a 454 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,520 helpless baby, subject to struggles of growth, 455 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,880 experiencing pain, persecution, ultimately death. 456 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,080 When he says born of the woman he is inheriting. 457 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,800 Every problem you go through in life, he has tested it. 458 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,120 Why? To set you free from it. 459 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,320 Your sickness. He wants to set you free because 460 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:46,000 he has paid the price for it. He has paid the price for it. 461 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,320 You are not going to suffer all your life like that because you 462 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,080 have to believe it and receive it. 463 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,080 He is not going to do anything new. 464 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,840 Is Jesus going to say, let's say I have some some problem in my 465 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:02,520 body and I say God heal me. Oh, God says, oh, Ramana is 466 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,880 crying out for healing. I'll have to do something. 467 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:10,880 Nothing more to do 2000 years ago by his stripes, I am healed. 468 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:15,520 He did it already. He did already say he did 469 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,360 already. He's not going to do anything 470 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,600 more. You will have to believe it and 471 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,960 receive it. Enforce the Kingdom of the 472 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,480 Father in the name of Jesus, by the Father, Holy Ghost. 473 00:31:32,430 --> 00:31:35,630 Father God looked down to see if there's anyone who can be a 474 00:31:35,630 --> 00:31:40,230 solution to solve the dilemma of sin to save mankind. 475 00:31:40,510 --> 00:31:42,710 But alas, there's no one, not even one. 476 00:31:43,990 --> 00:31:47,990 Everybody has sinned and have gone away from the path from 477 00:31:47,990 --> 00:31:49,350 which they should be walking like sheep. 478 00:31:49,350 --> 00:31:55,240 They have strayed. But when the Son came into the 479 00:31:55,240 --> 00:32:02,320 world, Father was joyful. Why now it is possible for 480 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:07,120 salvation to come to human race. My Son has entered the world. 481 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:12,080 You know there is joy and pain in the Father's heart. 482 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,000 Joy because he's going to save you and me. 483 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,080 Pain because Son is going to die on the cross. 484 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:27,360 Joy and pain. They go together, so his weight 485 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:31,720 from eternity is over when he was born of the woman. 486 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,920 Father's weight is over. Father's weight is over. 487 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:43,040 Then man's frailty, incompetence, insufficiency, 488 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:47,760 limitation is all obliterated. For the one who trace the wine 489 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,360 press alone has entered the human landscape. 490 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,600 You know, it talks about in the Bible, it talks about Jesus as 491 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,160 the one who trade the wine press. 492 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:01,800 His robes were like blood because of the the juice of the 493 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,240 grapes and he was trading the wine press all alone. 494 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,800 You know, he doesn't need you and me to contribute to our 495 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,240 salvation. In that sense it is all his 496 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:15,000 work. And when the Father says my son 497 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:19,600 has come into the world, he is rejoicing because there is one 498 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,920 who is going to tread the wine press alone to bring salvation 499 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,720 to mankind. Hallelujah. 500 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,720 I can't tell you how much I love studying this world. 501 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,960 I was just studying it and I said, oh God, I just can't 502 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:37,800 understand what you have done for me. 503 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:42,520 Your plan, your wisdom is great. I worship you, our Father, I 504 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:47,080 praise you. Born of a woman is not simple 505 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,280 words. There is full of meaning. 506 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:55,000 It meets my incapacity, it meets my limitation, it meets my 507 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,440 foolishness. It means a lack of strength. 508 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:02,080 Everything that I don't have, he has it because he is my saviour. 509 00:34:08,199 --> 00:34:11,320 Man's helplessness is broken. When Jesus entered the world. 510 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,760 We are not helpless anymore because He has come. 511 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,320 He is our strength. He is our help. 512 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,840 Hebrews 214 Now since the children have flesh and blood, 513 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,719 He too shared in their humanity, so that by His death He might 514 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,960 destroy him. Who holds the power of death? 515 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:33,360 That is the devil. He partook in flesh and blood to 516 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:38,760 destroy Satan, who has power over you and me to set us free 517 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:42,719 from the grip of Satan. That's from Hebrews 214. 518 00:34:44,679 --> 00:34:49,440 And when he became his born of the woman, Matthew 123 is 519 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,840 fulfilled. Behold, the Virgin will be with 520 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,239 child and will give birth to your Son, and they will call him 521 00:34:55,239 --> 00:35:01,280 Emmanuel, which means God with us was not God with the people 522 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,080 before Jesus came into the world. 523 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,160 He was. But this is something entirely 524 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,880 different dimension, a different expression of the presence of 525 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,720 God. He is going to be with you 526 00:35:11,720 --> 00:35:15,720 personally and makes it possible to be in you after His death, 527 00:35:15,720 --> 00:35:17,960 burial, resurrection, and ascension to the Father. 528 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,440 When you believe in Him, He, you become one with Him. 529 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:27,600 He is going to be with you forever, born of the woman. 530 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:36,920 We got much to praise God, much to praise God and then born 531 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,360 under the law. Everybody said born under the 532 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:46,080 law. What does it mean when He is 533 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:50,040 born under the law? So that He can set you free, you 534 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:54,240 and me free from the law. He fulfilled the law on your 535 00:35:54,240 --> 00:35:57,800 behalf, on my behalf. He never told a lie, He never 536 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,200 stole anything from anybody, He never broke any of the 10 537 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:05,600 commandments, and he was perfectly walking like a human 538 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,920 being without any sin to fulfill everything. 539 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,600 And at one point in Matthew he says I have come not to cancel 540 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:16,920 the law, but to fulfill the law. Every jot, every line, I have 541 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,680 come to fulfill it. What a savour we have. 542 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:25,440 If He has not fulfilled a small dot in the law, then you have to 543 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:29,640 work for it. No, we do not do anything now. 544 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,800 Why He has fulfilled it for you and me? 545 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,120 And that is how when you believe in Him, His righteousness is 546 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,520 being transferred into your account and you become 547 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,080 righteous. Why He fulfilled the law for you 548 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:50,200 and me. By entering under Mosaic Law, 549 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,960 Jesus was qualified to obey it perfectly. 550 00:36:53,720 --> 00:36:57,880 The law he spoke from the Mount Sinai when the whole mountain 551 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,480 was shaking and the people were trembling in their in their 552 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,680 boots and their shoes. And when they were, they put a 553 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,800 barricade so no one can go up the mountain, even animals. 554 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,040 And they were shaking and there was earthquake and Thunder and 555 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,320 fields and everything was so fearful. 556 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:16,360 And from from the mountaintop he spoke those 10 commandments in 557 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,480 the language they understood. And they said we don't want to 558 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,880 hear God anymore because we are going to die by he listening to 559 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:27,560 his voice. But Jesus, he fulfilled the law 560 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:32,520 for you and me so that we don't fear God anymore to approach 561 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:36,640 him. No Fear, No Fear anymore. 562 00:37:39,720 --> 00:37:42,200 His sinless life secured righteousness to create to 563 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,440 believers. Second Corinthians 5/21. 564 00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:47,440 His death satisfied the lost penalty, redeeming those 565 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:57,360 enslaved by it. Galatians 45 and God worked out 566 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:01,400 everything so beautifully in time, space, history, when the 567 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,840 time came, when, when we say here, but when the time had 568 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,320 fully come, actually so many things happened. 569 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,680 There were times when I used to read this version when I was 570 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:17,160 younger, days I used to think when the time was perfect. 571 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:21,200 Jesus became a man long time ago, 2000 years ago, let's say. 572 00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,800 Was the world better at the time or worse? 573 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,160 I used to walk into the villages, see people innocent. 574 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:36,320 They are not highly literate, they don't have skills, they 575 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,440 only know a few things. Get up in the morning, eat the 576 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:43,600 leftover food, go into the field, take some with them, walk 577 00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:47,600 there under the sun, eat the lunch, take rest for half an 578 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,440 hour and again work till evening. 579 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:53,680 Come home, eat food, feed the cattle, tie them up, pour water 580 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:57,400 for them to drink, some other things at home and then go to 581 00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:01,120 bed where there no electricity. You have to go to bed as early 582 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,720 as you can and get up again in the morning. 583 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,240 And when I looked at them I said, why did Jesus come 2000 584 00:39:07,240 --> 00:39:08,680 years ago? What things better? 585 00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:10,520 They were better. I tell you. 586 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:14,720 Roman law was very, very prevalent all over the whole, 587 00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:16,200 whole whole Kingdom of the Romans. 588 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:20,440 They enforced, particularly when Alexander, he lived only for 10 589 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:24,200 years, but when he invaded and conquered large swaths of land, 590 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,800 many countries he subjugated. And when he conquered, he 591 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,120 enforced the Greek language everywhere he went. 592 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:35,920 And so you have Roman government which has got huge territory 593 00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:40,840 everywhere. Greek is understood now the 594 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,360 gospel can go without interpretation, without 595 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,160 translation, go through whole land. 596 00:39:47,720 --> 00:39:53,440 That was the right time. People had many ways of 597 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:57,800 punishing people who, whoever committed murder or revolt 598 00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,040 against the king, they were failed by the Assyrians. 599 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,800 You know, the sharp thing will go from bottom and go up through 600 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,040 the head. And different kinds of tortured 601 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:10,240 brothers were there, but. The crucifixion was invented, 602 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:14,720 perfected by the Romans, which had to be to fulfill the law 603 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,960 that he became a curse and was lifted up on a tree to fulfill 604 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:20,680 that. The Roman government was there 605 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:28,240 to enforce this crucifixion in so many ways. 606 00:40:28,240 --> 00:40:35,400 The time was made perfect and when God said now it is time go 607 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:45,320 and the sun says yes and comes into the world born under the 608 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,640 law to redeem those under the law. 609 00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:52,520 You know this is just we are not under the law anymore. 610 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,360 If you're under the law, we are slaves. 611 00:40:55,200 --> 00:41:00,160 If you believe in Jesus, you are a son who is free to obey every 612 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:05,880 demand of the law. You have a new power indwelling 613 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:10,480 Holy Spirit who gives you power to obey, which was not there 614 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,280 under the law. Power of the Holy Spirit was not 615 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:19,520 present for the people. So what does it mean to us? 616 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,000 What does it mean to us? Assurance. 617 00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:29,120 The same God who timed Christ's coming governs our own seasons. 618 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:35,360 We are not living in a helpless world, in a helpless condition. 619 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,400 Whatever situation you are going through, whatever trouble you 620 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,520 are going through, whatever challenge you are going through, 621 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:45,160 you are not helpless. Why? 622 00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:49,960 God, who has planned it before the foundation of the world and 623 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:53,160 He made things happen at the right time, sent His Son. 624 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,600 He is on the throne and your life is secure in His hand when 625 00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:00,760 you yield it to Him. I was praying for somebody. 626 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:02,360 God, show me something about this man. 627 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:08,320 He is not a believer and God showed me a snake and he was 628 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,120 spitting the snake with his hand. 629 00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:18,720 That's a powerful picture. He is befriending Satan by not 630 00:42:18,720 --> 00:42:20,720 believing in Jesus. He knows the gospel but doesn't 631 00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:22,440 believe, doesn't want to believe. 632 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,600 He says, ah, I want God to speak to me. 633 00:42:26,720 --> 00:42:30,560 I want God appear to me. I said, my friend, by 634 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:36,200 challenging God, you know, you don't go anywhere because God is 635 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:40,560 so big, so sovereign, omnipotent, omnipresent, 636 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,720 powerful, no one can challenge him. 637 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:49,680 The only way you draw his favor is by submission and by faith, 638 00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,440 not by challenging and not by questioning. 639 00:42:55,960 --> 00:43:00,240 So if we are revolting against God in any matter, particularly, 640 00:43:00,240 --> 00:43:03,240 you know, when we are growing up, growing up is a difficult 641 00:43:03,240 --> 00:43:07,720 stage and I have gone through it in my 20s, I used to sometimes 642 00:43:07,720 --> 00:43:10,520 rebel against God and say, hey, I have prayed to you so many 643 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:11,720 times. You didn't answer my prayer. 644 00:43:11,720 --> 00:43:13,120 Now I will not pray to you anymore. 645 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:17,320 That kind of a thing. But after six months down the 646 00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:21,440 line, I'll say, OK, I'm wrong now I'm not going to pray, but I 647 00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:22,720 still believe you and follow you. 648 00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,440 There's so many different ways I used to argue with God, but God 649 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:31,840 has been patient with me. He showed love, concern, and 650 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:36,280 help me along in my weakness. That I may know Him, that I may 651 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:42,040 love Him, that I may obey Him. His hand is on your life now. 652 00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:47,800 Your His hand, the mighty hand, is upon your life now, whether 653 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,520 you know it or don't know it. His hand is upon you. 654 00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,920 His hand is upon you. His hand is upon you. 655 00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:04,520 Secondly, patience. If he could align empires, 656 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:09,680 languages, prophecies for Bethlehem's Manger, he can align 657 00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,960 details in our lives. You know, what did he say 658 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:17,920 through Micah? He said, Bethlehem, don't think 659 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:21,880 you are very little among all the cities, but the one who is 660 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:26,400 going to be born, Mesa will be born in you to make it possible. 661 00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,200 Joseph and Mary were living in Nazareth. 662 00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,600 They must be brought to Bethlehem. 663 00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:39,680 So the King orders everybody you go to back to your place and 664 00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,480 register yourself from the place where you hail from. 665 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:46,800 And he had to carry on a donkey, this lady who was fully 666 00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:50,760 pregnant, so that when they arrived to Bethlehem, it was 667 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:52,680 also the time for her to deliver the baby. 668 00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:58,920 How much God had to plan in your life. 669 00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:02,880 There's nothing that's happening without His seeing your 670 00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:06,400 condition, without seeing your tears, without seeing your pain. 671 00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:09,040 Nothing is happening in our lives. 672 00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,560 We have to look at Him and say thank you. 673 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,440 You are upon the throne. Give me Your grace to go through 674 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,840 this time now and He will bring you through. 675 00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,160 He will bring you through. He is God who is committed to 676 00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,200 bring you through. He's not going to leave your 677 00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,000 hand. He's not going to say you're on 678 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,560 your own bro no more. I'm I'm not interested in you 679 00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:29,240 anymore. He's not going to say it. 680 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,360 He says my hand is upon you. I love you. 681 00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:36,520 I have plan and purpose for you. I am intend to fulfill every 682 00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,800 plan in my heart which I have thought about before the 683 00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,520 foundation of the world for you before the foundation of the 684 00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:43,920 world. I have thought about you. 685 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:47,320 I have thought about you, I have thought about you. 686 00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:49,680 Nothing is happening in your life. 687 00:45:53,840 --> 00:46:05,280 He's handed upon your life. At the same time, some things 688 00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:11,080 are urgent, Mark 115 reminds The time is fulfilled, The Kingdom 689 00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:14,280 of God is near. Today is the moment of trust and 690 00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:20,320 proclaim this perfectly time to Savior God is a God of history. 691 00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:25,120 Timeline is in his hand, but our time comes today. 692 00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:30,160 Today everybody said today. Today is a time to believe and 693 00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:35,520 trust and surrender to him. Why He is God over your life? 694 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:45,440 And Galatians 44, we see a divinely set clock, a Savior 695 00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:50,640 stepping into history at the precise second humanity's most 696 00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:56,280 needed him, and a God whose timing is perfect then and now. 697 00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,560 2000 years ago was a perfect moment. 698 00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,760 He came into the world, and today is a perfect moment to 699 00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,600 enter your life. All that we need to say is come 700 00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:13,920 Lord into my life. So now I had to. 701 00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:21,720 I think I shot my time already. I will leave it to cover next 702 00:47:21,720 --> 00:47:24,200 week. There's much more to say. 703 00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,400 I told you I got 4 pairs of notes here and much more I have 704 00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:31,440 not written there. But the there's so much of glory 705 00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:33,360 in the world. You study it. 706 00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:36,240 You made it upon it. It becomes your life. 707 00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:39,520 It becomes a truth. It becomes light in your life. 708 00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:41,520 And you had to skew your time to it. 709 00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,000 It doesn't yield to a casual reader. 710 00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:45,840 I take my Bible. I read 2 minutes. 711 00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,480 Oh, I read the Bible. We'll do you nothing. 712 00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,600 We'll do you nothing. You'll dwell in it. 713 00:47:55,360 --> 00:48:00,960 Allow it to speak to you. You got a problem. 714 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:04,600 You go to the doctor, he takes you say go into the machine, MRI 715 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:08,040 scan, CT scan. I tell you, when you come to the 716 00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:14,160 word of God, it scans you what is wrong in you. 717 00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:16,080 It tells this is what is wrong in you. 718 00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:21,960 And you say, yes, I agree. The problem goes, problem goes. 719 00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:25,120 Shall we bow our heads in prayer? 720 00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:32,400 Father God, we thank you. We are overheard by your glory. 721 00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,520 We are all overcome by your holiness. 722 00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:40,880 We are all overcome by your love. 723 00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:44,280 We are all overcome by your goodness. 724 00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,960 My Father, I thank you. You are on the throne. 725 00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:51,240 Thank you. You're holding your life in your 726 00:48:51,240 --> 00:48:53,840 hand.
