1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,100 I want to welcome you back to our second night of Summer of 2 00:00:04,108 --> 00:00:05,600 Psalms. And tonight, we'll be looking at 3 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,200 Psalm 22 while you're turning to Psalm 22. 4 00:00:09,700 --> 00:00:13,100 I just want to remind you of that wonderful story in Luke 24 5 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,700 that we call the disciples on the Emmaus Road. 6 00:00:16,700 --> 00:00:21,300 The two disciples were traveling from Jerusalem to Emmaus Road. 7 00:00:22,300 --> 00:00:25,700 And they were talking with each other and Along Comes Jesus 8 00:00:25,700 --> 00:00:27,900 Christ. Now, they did not recognize in 9 00:00:27,900 --> 00:00:31,100 Jesus and hid it from him, and they were talking about Jesus 10 00:00:31,100 --> 00:00:35,700 arrest his crucifixion trial, resurrection, and Jesus asked 11 00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:38,400 him, what are you talking about? And they looked at him and says, 12 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,800 don't, you know, that? Are you the only one in all of 13 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,300 Israel? Who doesn't know what's happened 14 00:00:43,300 --> 00:00:46,600 in the last few days and they would explain to Jesus, the 15 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,400 things that had happened ending with the empty tomb? 16 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:55,500 Then Jesus looks at them. In Luke 24, verse 25 and says o 17 00:00:55,500 --> 00:00:59,400 foolish, ones and slow of heart to believe all that. 18 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,900 The prophets have spoken. Was it not necessary that the 19 00:01:02,900 --> 00:01:06,300 Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory 20 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,600 and beginning with Moses and all the prophets he interpreted to 21 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:16,600 them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself and 22 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,000 then later on in verse 32, when they had gone into the room and 23 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,900 Jesus had vanished. They said Jesus opened to us the 24 00:01:24,900 --> 00:01:27,800 scriptures. I wonder what scriptures Jesus 25 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,500 held that first Bible study after the resurrection. 26 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,800 I'm sure he shared Genesis 3:15 about. 27 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,300 He shall bruise your head and you shall bruise his heel 28 00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:41,600 probably shared Deuteronomy 18, 18 says I will raise up for them 29 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,800 a prophet. Like you from all their 30 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:48,000 brothers, I'm positive. He would have shared Isaiah 53, 31 00:01:48,300 --> 00:01:52,200 the whole chapter, but Isaiah G36 as all we like, sheep have 32 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,600 gone astray and the lord has laid on upon him. 33 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,400 The iniquity of us all but also know that he would have gone to 34 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:04,900 the Psalms he would have gone to Psalms 68 Verse 18 to talk about 35 00:02:04,900 --> 00:02:09,699 Christ's Ascension, he would have gone to Psalms 41, 9 to 36 00:02:09,699 --> 00:02:14,500 talk about Christ's betrayal. He would have gone to Psalms 45, 37 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,600 verses, 6 and 7 to talk about, Christ's deity. 38 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,900 He would have gone to Psalms 8, verses 5 to 6, to talk about 39 00:02:22,900 --> 00:02:27,100 Christ exultation. He would have gone to Psalms to 40 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:32,400 verse 6 in Psalms 89 Verse 18 and 19 to talk about Christ 41 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,900 kingship, he would have gone to Psalms to, again, to talk about, 42 00:02:35,900 --> 00:02:41,800 Christ's lordship, He'd gone to Psalms 41, verses 6 to 8 to talk 43 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,800 about The Obedience of Christ. He would have gone to the Psalms 44 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,300 110 verse 4 to talk about. Christ's priesthood, he would 45 00:02:50,300 --> 00:02:54,000 have gone to Psalm 16:10 to remind him that the Messiah 46 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,900 would rise from the dead Resurrection. 47 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,100 He would have gone to psalms 27 to talk about Christ. 48 00:03:00,100 --> 00:03:04,900 Sonship He would have gone to Psalm 69 verse 9 to talk about 49 00:03:04,900 --> 00:03:10,400 Christ's suffering and he had gone to Psalms 1, 18 verses 22 50 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:17,000 to 23 to talk about Christ's Supremacy and I'm 100% sure that 51 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:23,600 he would have taken them to Psalm 22 verses 1 to 22 because 52 00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:28,700 it's the entire song is about Christ's death and the Triumph 53 00:03:28,700 --> 00:03:31,800 of Jesus Christ. There are other Psalms like 54 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:37,100 Psalm 72, Psalm 102 and some 109 that we consider Messianic 55 00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:41,800 Psalms Dietrich Dietrich. Bonhoeffer that great German 56 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,300 Theologian who Hitler executed. Right at the end of World War 57 00:03:45,300 --> 00:03:49,800 Two. He said Christ is the secret of 58 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,700 the song. Now I read that 10 years ago, 15 59 00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:57,200 years ago, I don't think I really completely grasp that 60 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,900 concept till I study this Psalm 22 and I hope you'll see that 61 00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:03,700 tonight. Listen to what some commentators 62 00:04:03,700 --> 00:04:05,700 said. One said this Psalm is beyond 63 00:04:05,700 --> 00:04:09,500 all others, the psalm and the cross, it may have been repeated 64 00:04:09,500 --> 00:04:14,300 word by word by our Lord. When hanging on the cross, it 65 00:04:14,300 --> 00:04:18,399 begins with my God, my God. Why hast Thou, forsaken? 66 00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:22,800 Me and the ends with According, to some, it is finished. 67 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:28,200 It's a photograph of our Lord's satis hours and the record of 68 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,600 his dying wounds listen to what Jay Vernon McGee said. 69 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,500 In the gospels. It's recorded the historical 70 00:04:35,500 --> 00:04:40,300 fact of, Christ's death, and some of the events, which 71 00:04:40,300 --> 00:04:45,400 attended his crucifixion. But only in Psalm 22. 72 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:51,200 Do we see the thoughts and emotions that Jesus Christ felt 73 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,300 are recorded. It is belief by many scholars 74 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,200 that actually the Lord. Jesus Will on the cross said, 75 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:05,400 the entire Psalm 22. And then Spurgeon said we should 76 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:10,800 read this Psalm reverently putting off our shoes from our 77 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:16,400 feet as Moses did at the burning bush for if there be Holy Ground 78 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,400 anywhere in Scripture, it is this song. 79 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,000 I won't make you take your shoes off tonight, but we're going to 80 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:28,500 read Psalm 22 now. Psalm 22, if you're there to the 81 00:05:28,508 --> 00:05:32,000 choirmaster, according to the door of the Dawn, a Psalm of 82 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,900 David, my God, my God, why have you forsaken me? 83 00:05:37,500 --> 00:05:41,100 Why are you so far from saving me from the words of my 84 00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:45,100 groaning. Oh my God, I Cry by day, but you 85 00:05:45,100 --> 00:05:49,500 do not answer and by night but I find No Rest yet. 86 00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:54,000 You Are Holy enthroned. On the Praises of Israel in, you 87 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,500 are father's, trusted. It. 88 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,300 They trusted and you delivered them to you. 89 00:05:58,300 --> 00:06:01,100 They cried and were rescued in you. 90 00:06:01,100 --> 00:06:04,000 They trusted and were not put to shame. 91 00:06:04,700 --> 00:06:09,400 But I am a worm and not a man scorned by mankind and despised 92 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:14,800 by the people all who see me mock me, they make mouse at me. 93 00:06:14,900 --> 00:06:18,900 They wag their heads, he trusts in the Lord, let him deliver 94 00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:21,300 him. Let him rescue him for, he 95 00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:24,300 Delights in him. Yet you are? 96 00:06:24,300 --> 00:06:28,300 He who took me from the womb you made me trust you at my mother's 97 00:06:28,300 --> 00:06:32,800 breasts on you, I was cast from my birth and from my mother's 98 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:38,000 womb, you have been my God, be not far from me for trouble is 99 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,500 near and there is none to help many bulls. 100 00:06:41,500 --> 00:06:44,100 Encompass. Me strong Bulls of Bashan. 101 00:06:44,100 --> 00:06:48,400 Surround me, they open wide, their mouths at me like a raving 102 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,200 and roaring lion. I am poured out like water and 103 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,000 all my bones. Or out of Joy. 104 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,300 My heart is like Wax it is melted within my breast, my 105 00:06:58,300 --> 00:07:01,900 strength is dried up like a potsherd and my tongue sticks to 106 00:07:01,900 --> 00:07:07,300 my jaws, you lay me in the dust of death, for dogs, and Compass 107 00:07:07,300 --> 00:07:11,900 meet a company of evildoers. In circles me they have pierced 108 00:07:11,900 --> 00:07:16,300 my hands and my feet, I can count all my bones they stare 109 00:07:16,300 --> 00:07:19,200 and gloat over me. They divided my garments among 110 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,200 them. And for my clothing, they cast 111 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,000 lots, But You O, Lord.

You have rescued me from the 116 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,500 horns of the wild oxen, I will tell of your name to my 117 00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:41,800 brothers. In the midst of the 118 00:07:41,808 --> 00:07:43,900 congregation. I will praise you. 119 00:07:44,300 --> 00:07:46,200 You who fear the Lord praise him? 120 00:07:46,500 --> 00:07:50,200 All you offspring of Jacob, glorify him and stand in awe of 121 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,500 him. All you offspring of Israel for 122 00:07:52,500 --> 00:07:56,900 he is Despised for abhorred, the Affliction of The Afflicted and 123 00:07:56,900 --> 00:08:00,100 he has not hidden his face from them, but he has heard, when he 124 00:08:00,100 --> 00:08:04,100 cried to him from, you comes my praise and in the great 125 00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:08,000 congregation, my vows, I will perform before those who fear 126 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,200 Him The Afflicted, she'll eat and be satisfied, those who seek 127 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,300 Him, shall praise the Lord, may your hearts live forever. 128 00:08:15,700 --> 00:08:18,600 All the ends of the Earth shall remember and turn to the Lord, 129 00:08:18,700 --> 00:08:22,100 all the families of the Nations shall worship before you for 130 00:08:22,100 --> 00:08:25,000 kingship. Belongs to the Lord and He rules 131 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,600 over the nation's all the prosperous of yours shall eat 132 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,700 and worship before him shall bow. 133 00:08:30,700 --> 00:08:32,700 Down all, who go down to the dust. 134 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,200 Even the one who could not keep himself alive, Prosperity Shall 135 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,400 Serve him, it shall be told of the Lord to the coming 136 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,100 generation. They shall come and Proclaim his 137 00:08:43,100 --> 00:08:48,200 righteousness to a people yet, unborn that he has done it. 138 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,600 Let's pray, Father in heaven. We love you and thank you for 139 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,100 this beautiful Wednesday night as we Open Psalm 22. 140 00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:57,600 Father may we learn more about you Jesus Christ the Holy 141 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,100 Spirit. May we leave here today knowing 142 00:09:00,100 --> 00:09:03,000 more of you and what it is we are to do in Jesus name. 143 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,600 Amen. The type of Psalm I already 144 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,600 mentioned, it's a Messianic. Psalm some would say it's quoted 145 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,400 13 times in the New Testament, one commentator believes, 146 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,500 there's as many as thirty three prophecies that may be going a 147 00:09:17,500 --> 00:09:21,800 little too far, but it's a Messianic, Psalm the context of 148 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,100 the psalm where it's placed is very important. 149 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:29,500 Psalms 22, 23 and 24 are at rheology Trilogy. 150 00:09:30,100 --> 00:09:33,900 Psalms 22 is the Good Shepherd dying for the Sheep. 151 00:09:34,700 --> 00:09:38,600 Psalms 23, which I'm sure you all know is the great Shepherd 152 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:44,100 who lives for the sheep and Psalms 24 is the chief Shepherd 153 00:09:44,300 --> 00:09:47,300 who returns, in glory to reward his sheep. 154 00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:52,000 So Psalms 22 is past work. Psalms 23 is the present work 155 00:09:52,300 --> 00:09:55,200 and Psalms 24 is the future work. 156 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,300 There's a superscription on the psalm to the choirmaster 157 00:09:59,300 --> 00:10:03,000 according to do of the Don, a Psalm of David, we really don't 158 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,500 know what that means. And it may just be the name of a 159 00:10:05,508 --> 00:10:09,500 tune by the chief musician. As I mentioned last week, quite 160 00:10:09,500 --> 00:10:12,200 a few of the superscriptions. We really don't know what they 161 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,000 mean. Now, history of the song. 162 00:10:15,300 --> 00:10:18,100 Now, when you read psalms like this, it's by David. 163 00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:22,800 So normally like last week Psalm 11, it was about David and we 164 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,200 know probably it was about David's trouble in Saul's court. 165 00:10:26,700 --> 00:10:33,600 But here most commentators I say most Say, it has nothing to do 166 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,400 with David's life because there's nothing in the history 167 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,500 of David that we have that can account for the agony described 168 00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:45,800 in the psalm, the intense suffering here, described isn't 169 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:50,500 about a sick man or a soldier in battle, but it's basically of a 170 00:10:50,500 --> 00:10:55,100 criminal being executed the writer of Hebrews quote, Psalm 171 00:10:55,100 --> 00:10:58,800 22 as the words of Jesus Christ himself. 172 00:10:59,500 --> 00:11:04,100 And when you read Acts, T, it calls David a prophet. 173 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,700 So, I believe that David here is riding as a prophet, describing 174 00:11:08,700 --> 00:11:13,800 the agony of the coming Messiah and the suffering on the cross. 175 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,600 So I believe it is all about. Jesus Christ. 176 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,700 You have an outline, I hope you got today or picked it up out 177 00:11:19,700 --> 00:11:23,200 there, there's seven points and on the back of that outline, if 178 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,100 you see, dr. William Barak, the professor 179 00:11:26,100 --> 00:11:29,800 emeritus of the Masters Seminary made a little chart from his 180 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,700 study on Psalm 22. You can take that home and look 181 00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:38,400 at it and you can see the, the gospel accounts, the times, and 182 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,600 then quite often not all the time, but quite often Psalm 22 183 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,500 has a reference to those accounts. 184 00:11:44,500 --> 00:11:47,000 So I'll let you study that more. But dr. 185 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,900 Barrick did, but let's look at our seven points tonight, 186 00:11:50,500 --> 00:11:54,400 there's really two sections in this song, Some, I'm sorry, 187 00:11:54,400 --> 00:12:02,400 verse 12. 21 is a cry for help verse 12. 21 is a Cry for help 188 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:09,300 and in Psalms 22 to Psalms 31r a praise from the cross. 189 00:12:09,300 --> 00:12:13,200 So two sections, but I broken down into seven points tonight, 190 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,900 let's begin with point. A Christ separation from God, 191 00:12:16,900 --> 00:12:19,200 verses one, and two, two points here. 192 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:25,000 Spurned, my God, verse 1 and Silence from God verse 2, you're 193 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,200 all familiar with verse 1. The first some first, the 194 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,600 psalmist prophesized that the Messiah would be spurned by God. 195 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,500 It begins with the he begins the song with probably the most 196 00:12:38,500 --> 00:12:42,900 anguished cry in human history. The song begins with an 197 00:12:42,900 --> 00:12:47,000 agonizing Prairie, we know this verse because it's the fourth 198 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,000 sing of the seven sayings that we have. 199 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:55,300 On the cross. Matthew 27:46 says about the 200 00:12:55,300 --> 00:13:00,700 ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice saying, Eli, Eli 201 00:13:00,700 --> 00:13:04,500 Lema, sabachthani. That is my God. 202 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,700 My God. Why have you forsaken me? 203 00:13:08,100 --> 00:13:13,200 An exact quotation of Psalms 22 1 in John 10? 204 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:18,300 Jesus said, I am the John 10 verse 30, Jesus said, I and the 205 00:13:18,300 --> 00:13:21,200 father are one. When I go through the Book of 206 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,200 John, which I'm studying in my quiet time. 207 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:29,700 Now, I recorded 91 times that Jesus calls, god, father, 208 00:13:29,700 --> 00:13:35,800 father, father, he always calls God his father but only here. 209 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,100 Does he say my God, Something's Happened. 210 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,800 God. Turned his back on his son, 211 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,000 while Jesus Christ was on the cross. 212 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,800 There was a separation as never before in the history of the 213 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:53,500 world and will never be. Again, to be forsaken by God 214 00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:57,500 means to have the light of God's countenance and the sense of his 215 00:13:57,500 --> 00:14:01,200 presence withdrawn, which is what happened to Jesus, as he 216 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,900 suffered the wrath of God against sin for us. 217 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,800 Let's look at number 2, verse 2 Silence from God. 218 00:14:09,500 --> 00:14:12,700 Why was Jesus spurned by God and God silent. 219 00:14:13,100 --> 00:14:15,600 It's an agonizing question from Jesus. 220 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:20,000 It's a cry from the cross. The only possible answer is that 221 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,200 Jesus must have been bearing the sins of the world on that cross 222 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,700 during those three hours of Darkness. 223 00:14:27,300 --> 00:14:32,900 What separated Jesus from God, was my sin, your sins, and all 224 00:14:32,900 --> 00:14:38,900 the sins of the world Ibaka. Kkuk 1:13 says, God's eyes are 225 00:14:38,900 --> 00:14:42,600 purer eyes than to see evil and cannot look at wrong. 226 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,300 Romans 5:8 says that God showed his love to us while we were 227 00:14:47,300 --> 00:14:52,600 sinners Christ died for us. One commentator said it, seems 228 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,700 that. God, who answers the prayers of 229 00:14:55,700 --> 00:14:59,100 sinful? Men is not answering the prayer 230 00:14:59,500 --> 00:15:03,300 of the sinless. Messiah Warren, where's be said 231 00:15:03,500 --> 00:15:08,500 for our sake Christ was Forsaken by God that we might never be 232 00:15:08,500 --> 00:15:12,300 forsaken. We cannot be forsaken because 233 00:15:12,300 --> 00:15:15,300 the Savior was forsaken in our place. 234 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:20,400 We cannot be forsaken because his promise is to never leave us 235 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:25,400 or forsake us Hebrews 13:5. We cannot be forsaken because 236 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:30,200 his Abiding and eternal presence with us, Matthew 28:20. 237 00:15:30,700 --> 00:15:35,200 We cannot be forsaken because of his promise to work all things. 238 00:15:35,500 --> 00:15:38,500 For the good of those who are called according to his purpose, 239 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:43,100 Romans 8:28 in spite of all our circumstances and feelings. 240 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:49,400 Remember, God will not forsake you but he did forsake his son. 241 00:15:49,900 --> 00:15:51,700 What do we learn from here in these first? 242 00:15:51,700 --> 00:15:56,600 Two verses Jesus was forsaken so that you and I would never be 243 00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,900 forsaken. God punished his own son, as if 244 00:16:00,900 --> 00:16:04,600 his son had committed every Wicked sin ever done by every 245 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,600 sinner who would ever Of it was if Jesus is this the father 246 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:13,400 abandoned his own son, God loved his son but he turned away from 247 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,300 him. As he punished his son on the 248 00:16:15,308 --> 00:16:20,400 cross, for the sins of the world, Jesus felt the pain and 249 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,800 we received Jesus righteousness. The question is why, why would 250 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,500 the holy sinless? Son of God. 251 00:16:26,500 --> 00:16:30,500 In der this horrible suffering for three hours of Darkness. 252 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,800 Well, that's the next point point B Christ, strength from 253 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,700 God. Verses 3 to 5 and verse 3, says 254 00:16:37,700 --> 00:16:43,300 it all yet, You Are. Holy Christ is talking to God, 255 00:16:43,300 --> 00:16:46,400 the father. So some point one God is. 256 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:53,300 Holy God is Holy righteous and just that means he must punish 257 00:16:53,300 --> 00:16:59,200 sin and wherever he finds it. God cannot Overlook sin, the 258 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,600 love of God. Desired salvation For All 259 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,800 Mankind, but the Holiness of God. 260 00:17:05,500 --> 00:17:08,500 That the wages of sin be punished. 261 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:14,300 God is Holy and it necessitated that that there be a sacrifice. 262 00:17:14,300 --> 00:17:17,099 And at some point to Jesus Christ was sinless. 263 00:17:17,700 --> 00:17:19,599 The Lord Jesus Christ was sinless. 264 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,200 He took our sin upon himself. He voluntarily, took the 265 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:28,000 responsibility to pay the penalty of sins, for the sin of 266 00:17:28,008 --> 00:17:29,700 the world. The debt. 267 00:17:29,700 --> 00:17:34,600 We owed was charged to Christ's account now God can forgive 268 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,200 sinners. The holy and just demands. 269 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,400 That sin be punished, have been met the beloved Son, became our 270 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,700 sin Bearer. My favorite verse in the New 271 00:17:43,700 --> 00:17:47,900 Testament, is second Corinthians 5:21, and you all know it. 272 00:17:47,900 --> 00:17:54,500 It says, for our sake, he God made him Jesus to be sin who 273 00:17:54,500 --> 00:17:58,300 knew no sin. So that in him, we might become 274 00:17:58,500 --> 00:18:01,900 the righteousness of God. God is holy Jesus Christ is 275 00:18:01,900 --> 00:18:04,600 sinless. And then in verse 4, the 276 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,400 Holiness of Men. Three times you have the word 277 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:12,000 trusted trusted and Trust in there in the past Israel. 278 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,400 Trust of the Lord and God delivered him. 279 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,600 Jesus at his darkest hour is strengthening by remembering 280 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,900 God's faithfulness to the children of Israel. 281 00:18:22,100 --> 00:18:26,600 Moses, Abraham and David God always showed himself faithful 282 00:18:26,900 --> 00:18:28,800 to those in the past, you trusted him. 283 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,000 So when we feel that God has abandoned us, when we are at our 284 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,300 weakest, we need to remember the faithfulness of God. 285 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,500 And God turned his back on his son, because in his Holiness, he 286 00:18:39,500 --> 00:18:44,800 must punish sin. Not the sinless son, but our 287 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,900 sin. Let's look at Point C Christ. 288 00:18:47,900 --> 00:18:50,400 Scorn from the cross and two points there. 289 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:56,500 He's reduced below a man verse 6 and ridiculed by the people 290 00:18:56,500 --> 00:19:02,400 versus 78. Verse 6 says, but I am a warm 291 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,900 and not a man scorned by mankind and despised by the people. 292 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,800 Now, the psalmist is going to prophesied that the Messiah 293 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:15,100 would endure insults ridicule mocking, that would make the 294 00:19:15,100 --> 00:19:19,200 Messiah seem less than a human. And here, you have the first, a 295 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,500 mini animal metaphors in the psalm. 296 00:19:22,500 --> 00:19:24,800 It's a reference to a helpless frail animal. 297 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,100 That is often crushed. We Crush worms. 298 00:19:27,500 --> 00:19:30,600 But it's also interesting, Henry, Morris and a few other 299 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,800 commentators make the case that this is not the normal Hebrew 300 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:39,100 word for warmer. It's a special word for a warm, 301 00:19:39,100 --> 00:19:43,700 that's called the Crimson word that they would get the coloring 302 00:19:43,700 --> 00:19:47,600 Scarlett from to die cloth. So they literally would crush 303 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,900 this worm, the Scarlet, warm to get Scarlet. 304 00:19:51,300 --> 00:19:54,400 So to yield that Die. The lowly worm had to be 305 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:59,400 crushed. Isaiah 53:5, prophesied says he 306 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,900 was crushed for our iniquities. Christ was crushed. 307 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,700 I'd like what? Charles Spurgeon said, what a 308 00:20:05,700 --> 00:20:12,200 contrast between, I am Yahweh and I am a worm. 309 00:20:12,900 --> 00:20:15,700 Another one of the prophecies that the Messiah would be 310 00:20:15,700 --> 00:20:18,900 disfigured by his enemies and not even look human. 311 00:20:19,300 --> 00:20:25,200 Isaiah 52:14 says his Was so marred beyond human semblance 312 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,800 and is formed beyond the children of mankind, you know, 313 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,900 we don't put crosses of Jesus up in our church, but when you see 314 00:20:31,900 --> 00:20:34,500 them generally, they're fairly pretty right? 315 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,900 But the truth is, Jesus was naked on that cross and he was 316 00:20:37,900 --> 00:20:40,600 bloodied and battered beyond recognition. 317 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,400 They had beat him so bad number two, he was ridiculed by the 318 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,500 people versus seven and eight first. 319 00:20:46,500 --> 00:20:50,300 He was mocked in verse 7. And in verse 8, he was insulted. 320 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:56,400 It says all who seek me mock me. They make their mouths at me. 321 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,900 They wag their heads, one of the amazing things about Psalms 22 322 00:21:00,900 --> 00:21:04,600 is the fact, it foretells, the exactly what the gospels would 323 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:10,100 record about Jesus, and in Matthew, 27 39, it says, as 324 00:21:10,100 --> 00:21:14,700 Jesus on the cross and says, and those who pass by derided him, 325 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:20,100 wagging their heads exactly what Psalm 22 verse 7 says. 326 00:21:20,700 --> 00:21:24,200 And then it prophesied that the Messiah would be insulted in 327 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,600 verse 8. You have this mocking sentence, 328 00:21:26,700 --> 00:21:29,800 he trusts in the Lord, let him deliver him. 329 00:21:29,900 --> 00:21:32,600 Let him rescue him for. He Delights in him. 330 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,900 So another amazing thing about Psalm 22 and his prophecy is the 331 00:21:36,900 --> 00:21:41,200 fact that it for told exactly what Christ's enemies would say. 332 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:46,000 And you want to turn to Matthew 27, you can or you just recorded 333 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:51,300 Matthew 27 verse 40 says, And this is what the evil, the 334 00:21:51,300 --> 00:21:53,600 religious leaders of scribes. The Pharisees are saying that 335 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,700 Jesus, when they're looking up on the cross, it says, you who 336 00:21:57,700 --> 00:22:01,200 would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save 337 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,800 yourself. If you are the Son of God come 338 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,300 down from the cross. So also the chief priests the, 339 00:22:08,300 --> 00:22:12,600 scribes the elders, mock him saying, he saved others, he 340 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,900 cannot save himself, he is the king of Israel. 341 00:22:15,900 --> 00:22:19,500 Let him come down now from the cross and we will Believe in 342 00:22:19,500 --> 00:22:22,900 him, he trusts in God, let God deliver him. 343 00:22:22,900 --> 00:22:29,500 Now, if he desires him for, he said, I am the Son of God, so 344 00:22:29,500 --> 00:22:32,100 the priest and many of the people looking up, at Jesus on 345 00:22:32,100 --> 00:22:35,500 the cross. They probably knew Psalm 22, 346 00:22:35,700 --> 00:22:40,300 most Jews would know, all 150 of the Psalms they did everything. 347 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,800 While Jesus was doing his ministry to try to disprove his 348 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:48,600 claims of being the Messiah, but here, actually their lips. 349 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,400 The prophecy of Psalm 22. That Christ was indeed, the 350 00:22:53,408 --> 00:22:56,100 Messiah. Let's look at Point D Christ 351 00:22:56,100 --> 00:23:00,400 submission to God in verses 9, and 10 in these two verses. 352 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,800 You have the words you you I think in this Psalm you have the 353 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:08,200 word you 25 times, but here it says yet you who took me from 354 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,200 the womb you made me trust at my mother's breast, commentators, 355 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,800 debate and argue about what these two verses mean. 356 00:23:15,100 --> 00:23:19,000 But I believe that Christ is acknowledging that God has Been 357 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,100 with him. Since birth birth is human 358 00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:24,400 birth, God protected, him at Birth. 359 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,400 God delivered him from Harrods attempt to slaughter him when 360 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,300 God gave a bit a dream for Joseph and Mary to go to Egypt. 361 00:23:33,300 --> 00:23:36,800 So, and his beginning with God, you know, he says on you, I was 362 00:23:36,900 --> 00:23:39,300 in verse 10. I was cast from my birth from my 363 00:23:39,300 --> 00:23:41,300 mother's womb, you have been my God. 364 00:23:41,500 --> 00:23:45,300 You know, I helpless newborn baby is is totally dependent. 365 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,900 Christ is looking up to God as only helper who can help him 366 00:23:49,300 --> 00:23:52,800 during every moment of Christ's life, God had been his God and 367 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,300 Father and sustained him Christ has a memory of God's 368 00:23:56,300 --> 00:23:59,500 faithfulness in the past. Now while he's suffering, he's 369 00:23:59,500 --> 00:24:02,700 asking, will God be faithful to me now. 370 00:24:03,100 --> 00:24:07,100 I can rely upon the father but I want to get the point e.e., 371 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,200 pointy, Christ's suffering from God. 372 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,300 And I think in your outline you can see like there's like nine 373 00:24:12,300 --> 00:24:15,100 sub-points. This is the meat of the message. 374 00:24:15,300 --> 00:24:18,700 This is the point that just stuns me and blows me away. 375 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,500 You know the deity of Jesus Christ is being attacked today. 376 00:24:22,500 --> 00:24:25,700 Like never before. The homosexuals are saying, 377 00:24:25,700 --> 00:24:28,900 Jesus never spoke about homosexuality. 378 00:24:29,100 --> 00:24:33,300 I actually watched a video last week that a guy said that, Jesus 379 00:24:33,300 --> 00:24:35,700 Christ. Never existed which kind of 380 00:24:35,700 --> 00:24:39,900 shocked me because there are actually 29 books outside the 381 00:24:39,900 --> 00:24:43,800 Bible that reference Jesus. For example, Josephus the Jewish 382 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,800 historian writes extensively about a man called Jesus. 383 00:24:47,900 --> 00:24:51,600 Now that doesn't prove he's God but to deny Jesus. 384 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:56,200 So I remember in college, we had a, we had a chart that said, did 385 00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,100 Jesus claimed to be God. So if he didn't make that claim, 386 00:25:00,100 --> 00:25:02,900 then it's just a legend as this guy on this YouTube video. 387 00:25:03,100 --> 00:25:04,700 Was claiming, it's just a legend. 388 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,300 But if Jesus claimed to be God, then it is his claim true or 389 00:25:09,300 --> 00:25:12,500 false? Well, if it's a false claim and 390 00:25:12,500 --> 00:25:15,200 he didn't know it's false, then people would call Jesus a 391 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,500 lunatic. But if he knew it was false, 392 00:25:18,500 --> 00:25:20,400 then some people would call him to be a liar. 393 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:24,500 Like the Pharisees would call him a liar, but if Jesus claimed 394 00:25:24,500 --> 00:25:28,200 to be God and he made the claim and that claim is true, we know 395 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,800 he is Lord, he's not a legend, he's not a lunatic, he's not a 396 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,900 Liar, and he's not a Lord. Why do I bring that little chart 397 00:25:35,900 --> 00:25:38,700 up about Lord, liar, lunatic and Legend. 398 00:25:39,100 --> 00:25:43,000 Well, I wish every man and woman in the world would read the next 399 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,700 few verses in 11 to 18 and I wish that would make them come 400 00:25:47,700 --> 00:25:51,300 and bow down at the cross and believe in Jesus Christ. 401 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,100 I am a Christian today because the resurrection of Jesus 402 00:25:54,100 --> 00:25:57,000 Christ, the tomb is empty. That proof to me. 403 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,600 Jesus Christ, rose from the dead, and I know all rise from 404 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,900 the dead when I die, but the second reason II. 405 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,700 My I know positively I'm a Christian is because of all the 406 00:26:06,700 --> 00:26:10,600 Prophecies of the Bible prove to me that the Bible is the very 407 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,400 words of God and verses 11:18 here are some of the most 408 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,300 remarkable verses of scripture ever written because they're 409 00:26:18,300 --> 00:26:23,200 describing in detail and event. That would take place a thousand 410 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,500 years later. It's an accurate description of 411 00:26:26,500 --> 00:26:30,900 crucifixion written when they didn't even do crucifixion. 412 00:26:31,300 --> 00:26:35,500 The Roman Empire was not even in existence who introduced that 413 00:26:35,500 --> 00:26:40,700 cruel form of execution. But here in Psalm 22, we have a 414 00:26:40,700 --> 00:26:46,200 picture of a man dying by crucifixion in verses 11 to 18. 415 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,700 So let's look at it. Number one, his anticipated Agni 416 00:26:49,700 --> 00:26:54,700 verse 11 says, be not far from me for trouble is near there is 417 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,500 None to help and the prophecy that the Messiah would be all 418 00:26:58,500 --> 00:27:04,200 alone hanging on the cross. Marked 1450 says, and they all 419 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,800 left him and fled all the disciples left him. 420 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,300 It was one thing for Judas to betray Christ, but all the 421 00:27:11,300 --> 00:27:14,200 disciples fled. I know, John did come back at 422 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:18,400 the cross Christ wasn't just abandoned by the father when he 423 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,900 hung on the cross. But he was abandoned by his 424 00:27:20,900 --> 00:27:23,100 disciples. Number two. 425 00:27:23,100 --> 00:27:26,600 His wife surrounded verse 12. Many bulls, Encompass. 426 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,000 Me. Strong Bulls of Bashan. 427 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,200 Surround me here. We have a prophesy against the 428 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,100 abuse that the Messiah would encounter. 429 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:38,700 We have the second animal metaphor in this Psalm, strong 430 00:27:38,700 --> 00:27:43,500 Bulls refer to strength, right? Well, but Sean is today is where 431 00:27:43,500 --> 00:27:47,000 we know the Golan Heights. Remember Israel, captured? 432 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,300 The Golan Heights. And I think in the 1973 433 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:54,000 arab-israeli war and its high It's typography receives more 434 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,200 rain than the rest of Israel so it produces better grass for 435 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,500 grazing, the cattle. So, the Bulls of Bashan, were 436 00:28:01,500 --> 00:28:04,700 known to be bigger stronger and more vicious. 437 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,800 So the emphasis here is on verbal abuse, the hostile crowd, 438 00:28:09,900 --> 00:28:14,200 they they cried crucify him, crucify him, the religious 439 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,500 leaders Spilled Out their vile hatred towards him Roman 440 00:28:17,500 --> 00:28:21,700 soldiers, mercifully mock him enjoying another execution while 441 00:28:21,700 --> 00:28:23,700 Christ. Surrounded and all alone at that 442 00:28:23,700 --> 00:28:27,100 cross number three, his safety threatened. 443 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,100 It says they open wide, their mouths at me like a raving and 444 00:28:31,100 --> 00:28:34,000 roaring lion. So we have the third metaphor of 445 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,500 animals here, a roaring lion, and you all know from National 446 00:28:37,500 --> 00:28:40,700 Geographic that Lions only Roar win. 447 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,800 When they capture their prey, they Roar, the Pharisees, in the 448 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,000 priests had finally captured Jesus. 449 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,900 They had tried to capture him, they had tried to kill him up to 450 00:28:51,900 --> 00:28:53,800 eight. Times, I believe in Matthew, 451 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,500 Mark, Luke and John try to throw him off a cliff. 452 00:28:56,500 --> 00:29:00,400 They tried to capture him. So this first refers to their 453 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,300 viciousness, they're described as raving and roaring Lions 454 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,900 point number four, his bones disjointed. 455 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,100 Two things here. The Messiah is going to be 456 00:29:11,100 --> 00:29:16,600 dehydrated and he's going to be having some of those long page. 457 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,000 He's going to be dislocated dehydrated dislocated. 458 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,500 So you have the prophecy that the Messiah would suffer 459 00:29:22,500 --> 00:29:27,100 dehydration and you all know in the third saying, of the seven 460 00:29:27,100 --> 00:29:32,900 recorded in the gospels, in John 1928, it says after this, Jesus 461 00:29:32,900 --> 00:29:35,500 knowing that all was now finished said to fulfill the 462 00:29:35,500 --> 00:29:38,100 scripture. I thirst. 463 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,900 So, When they're hanging on the cross, they would be very 464 00:29:40,900 --> 00:29:42,800 thirsty. And so, he's poured out like 465 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,000 water. The second thing, it says all, 466 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,500 my boy bones are out of joint so when they're hanging on a cross, 467 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,400 you have two spikes in your arms. 468 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:57,000 You have spikes in your feet but to breathe, the man crucified 469 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,100 would have to lift up very painfully otherwise he'd 470 00:30:00,100 --> 00:30:04,900 suffocate. So at some point the joints in 471 00:30:04,900 --> 00:30:07,400 the shoulder blades and different parts of the body 472 00:30:07,500 --> 00:30:09,500 would start to rip from Attendance. 473 00:30:09,500 --> 00:30:12,600 Crucifixion was just a horrible horrible thing. 474 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,100 So it says all my bones bones are out of joint swen 475 00:30:16,100 --> 00:30:19,400 commentator. Said the Christ who holds all 476 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:25,300 things together Colossians 1:17 had all his joints dislocated 477 00:30:26,900 --> 00:30:30,500 Number 5. It says his heart melted. 478 00:30:30,700 --> 00:30:34,500 My heart is like Wax. It's melted within my heart. 479 00:30:34,700 --> 00:30:38,100 So, here it's a Prophecy of the Messiah is emotionally broken. 480 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,700 His Vitality is gone, you know, he was so weak. 481 00:30:41,700 --> 00:30:44,800 He couldn't even Carry the Cross Beam down the road. 482 00:30:45,100 --> 00:30:47,600 Remember, in the garden when Jesus was sweating drops of 483 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,000 blood, remembering knowing what was coming. 484 00:30:50,300 --> 00:30:52,300 So he's just emotionally broken here. 485 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,900 Number 6, verse 15. His strength is gone. 486 00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:00,200 Now, it says that my strength is dried up like a potsherd. 487 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:04,000 My tongue sticks to my jaws, you lay me in the dust of death. 488 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,000 He's physically exhausted. He's thirsty. 489 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:11,100 The one who gives living water in John 4 was dried up like a 490 00:31:11,100 --> 00:31:15,300 broken clay pot and then ultimately it's God's doing. 491 00:31:15,300 --> 00:31:17,700 It says you lay me in the dust of death. 492 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:22,400 That's a referent acts 2:23. First Corinthians. 5:21 talk 493 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,600 about the prophecy of the burial of Jesus that he's going to be 494 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,800 late. Dust of death and Matthew 27, 495 00:31:29,500 --> 00:31:33,600 verse has 59 to 60. It says, and Joseph took the 496 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:37,500 body and wrapped it in a clean shroud and laid it in his own 497 00:31:37,500 --> 00:31:41,100 new tomb, which he had cut in Iraq, and he rolled a great 498 00:31:41,100 --> 00:31:45,800 Stone to the entrance of the Tomb and went away number seven, 499 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:50,900 his body pierced for dogs, Encompass me, a band of evil 500 00:31:50,900 --> 00:31:54,100 doers in circles mean. So before we get to the park, 501 00:31:54,100 --> 00:31:56,300 the last part of her 16 about the Seing. 502 00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:01,600 You have the fourth, a no metaphor here and it's dogs dogs 503 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,900 in that time was a common name for Gentiles and especially the 504 00:32:05,900 --> 00:32:09,600 Romans who they hate it. It's likened a hunting dogs, 505 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,000 hunting dogs, would chase a fox or a rabbit and they would 506 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,200 surround him here. The hunting dogs have surrounded 507 00:32:16,300 --> 00:32:20,300 Christ on the cross and then verse 16 says they have pierced. 508 00:32:20,300 --> 00:32:24,800 My hands and feet, here's the prophecy of the type of death 509 00:32:25,100 --> 00:32:28,500 that the Messiah Have by piercing and just so, you know, 510 00:32:28,500 --> 00:32:33,100 200 years before Christ came, there was a translation of the 511 00:32:33,100 --> 00:32:35,200 Bible called the Greek Septuagint. 512 00:32:35,300 --> 00:32:38,700 It has this exact phrase to, they have pierced, my hands and 513 00:32:38,700 --> 00:32:43,600 feet it describes the exact method of Jesus death after the 514 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,500 resurrection. Remember, when Christ said to 515 00:32:45,500 --> 00:32:50,300 the disciples, see my hands. See my feet touch me for a 516 00:32:50,300 --> 00:32:52,400 spirit. Does not have Flesh and Bones. 517 00:32:52,500 --> 00:32:55,500 So we know that he was pierced through his hands through his 518 00:32:55,500 --> 00:32:56,500 feet. Feet. 519 00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,100 Let's look at number Point. Number eight, his Bones Exposed 520 00:33:00,100 --> 00:33:04,800 and this is really important, I can count all my bones, they 521 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,900 stare and gloat over me. Now, when a man was executed on 522 00:33:07,900 --> 00:33:12,200 the cross, they could live up to 30 hours in the cross Birds 523 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,400 would come often and pick their flesh. 524 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:19,400 But you remember when Jesus was crucified, it was the day of 525 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,500 preparation, the Sabbath preparation. 526 00:33:21,900 --> 00:33:25,700 So in John 19, if you want to turn their, write it down John 527 00:33:25,700 --> 00:33:29,500 night. Team verse 31, it says, since it 528 00:33:29,500 --> 00:33:33,000 was the day of preparation so that the bodies would not remain 529 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,300 on the cross. On the Sabbath. 530 00:33:34,300 --> 00:33:40,200 The Jews asked pilate that their legs might be broken, and that 531 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,300 they might be taken away. So understand that, as a thief 532 00:33:43,300 --> 00:33:46,800 is on the cross, he's lifting up his legs to try to breathe. 533 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,200 Otherwise, it'll suffocate. So they want to get them down 534 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:51,700 from the cross because the Sabbath. 535 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,400 So they say, break the legs. So the soldier came and broke 536 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:59,100 the legs of of the first thief and that of the other Thief who 537 00:33:59,100 --> 00:34:04,300 had been crucified with him, but when they came to Jesus, they 538 00:34:04,300 --> 00:34:08,500 saw that he was already dead and they did not break his legs. 539 00:34:08,900 --> 00:34:12,400 But one of the soldiers, pierced his side with a spear and at 540 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:17,100 once there came out blood and water, he who saw it has borne 541 00:34:17,100 --> 00:34:20,400 witness. His testimony is true and he 542 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,900 knows that he is telling the truth that you also May believe. 543 00:34:24,100 --> 00:34:28,100 And verse 36 says for, These things took place, that the 544 00:34:28,100 --> 00:34:34,800 scriptures might be fulfilled. That Psalms 22 verse 17, not one 545 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,900 of his bones will be broken. And again, another scripture 546 00:34:38,900 --> 00:34:42,199 says, they will look on him whom they have pierced. 547 00:34:42,199 --> 00:34:45,699 And I believe that's from Zachariah 12, understand the 548 00:34:45,699 --> 00:34:50,199 perfect Lamb of God. Had to be without any blemishes 549 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,500 the Old Testament sacrifices of land. 550 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:57,500 You could not bring a mutilated a Mane And lamb the lamb had to 551 00:34:57,508 --> 00:34:59,700 be perfect. In Christ was the perfect Lamb 552 00:34:59,700 --> 00:35:04,100 of God so they could not break his legs and you all know they 553 00:35:04,100 --> 00:35:07,100 did not number nine, his clothes divided. 554 00:35:07,100 --> 00:35:10,100 This is an important one to it says they divided my garments 555 00:35:10,100 --> 00:35:13,400 among them and for all my clothing, they cast lat. 556 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:17,600 So you have the prophecy here of the soldiers, dividing up, the 557 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,200 close of the executed one. Now, this is one of the few 558 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:25,500 events that all four gospels record about Christ. 559 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:30,400 Crucifixion, Matthew Mark and Luke all say and they crucified 560 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,200 him and divided his garments among them. 561 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:38,200 Casting lots for them to decide what each would take, but John 562 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,400 in John, 18 gives a little more information. 563 00:35:40,700 --> 00:35:44,800 It says, when the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his 564 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,900 garments and divided them into four parts, one part for each 565 00:35:48,900 --> 00:35:54,000 Soldier and also his tunic, but the tunic was seamless woven in 566 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,900 one piece from top to bottom. So they said to one another, let 567 00:35:57,900 --> 00:36:02,700 us not tear it, but cast lots to see who it shall be. 568 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,000 And then it says this was to fulfill. 569 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,700 The scripture which says what's it? 570 00:36:09,700 --> 00:36:13,700 Say they divided my garments among them and for my clothing, 571 00:36:13,700 --> 00:36:16,300 they cast lots. So in your Bible, when you're 572 00:36:16,300 --> 00:36:20,100 reading, John 18 and you come to verse 24, there's probably a 573 00:36:20,107 --> 00:36:22,600 little space of white space right there. 574 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:27,200 And then you have a verse that Psalms 22, verse 18, a direct 575 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:32,800 quote, So, think about all the abuse that Christ suffered think 576 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,000 of the emotions he suffered on the cross. 577 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,700 You would think that the mother would get the clothes right. 578 00:36:38,700 --> 00:36:42,500 But no, the executed soldiers, that was kind of their bonus 579 00:36:42,700 --> 00:36:46,000 kind of their, their payment. They would get the close of the 580 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,200 prophesied one. John MacArthur said, the 581 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:55,000 strongest objective argument for the validity of scripture comes 582 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,700 from Bible prophecy. And that's one of the reasons 583 00:36:58,700 --> 00:37:02,200 I'm A Christian today and these verses 11 to 18 are just 584 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,600 stunning, when you look at them. All right. 585 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,700 Let's move to point F. We got two more points. 586 00:37:06,700 --> 00:37:09,500 We got to hurry. By the way, I told Pastor Lance 587 00:37:09,500 --> 00:37:13,400 that some Easter you need to take this Psalm and preach a 588 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:17,700 four-part series, because I'm going fast tonight, 31 verses, 589 00:37:17,700 --> 00:37:20,500 it's kind of insane to predict. Try to cover a song. 590 00:37:20,500 --> 00:37:23,800 We took seven verses last week. I'm trying to do 31 tonight, but 591 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,800 Lord, willing, someday in the future on Easter. 592 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,300 Lance can dig deeper and I'm going tonight. 593 00:37:28,500 --> 00:37:30,900 Christ. Application to God, verses 19 to 594 00:37:30,900 --> 00:37:34,000 21 to things. Strengthen me and save me verse 595 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,300 19. He's on the cross. 596 00:37:36,300 --> 00:37:39,000 He says, but You O Lord be not far off from me. 597 00:37:39,500 --> 00:37:41,400 Oh you my help come quickly to my Aid? 598 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,200 We know that Christ was abandoned by God for those three 599 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:48,100 hours but many commentators here make the case that Christ might 600 00:37:48,100 --> 00:37:53,600 being abused by Satan here. Okay because it says that in 601 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:57,500 Luke 22 53. Christ says, this is your hour 602 00:37:57,900 --> 00:38:01,500 and the power. Power of Darkness, I think Satan 603 00:38:01,500 --> 00:38:04,200 and his demons were rejoicing and celebrating those three 604 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:08,800 hours of darkness and if he's in sixth end, 18 tells us that 605 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,100 reverent would reference that all hell was gather around 606 00:38:11,100 --> 00:38:13,200 Christ on the cross. They thought they had the 607 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,200 victory, didn't they? So he's crying out to God to 608 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:20,200 strengthen him and then he's saying in verse 22, 21, save me. 609 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:25,300 Okay, so he says he's asking to be delivered from the dogs here 610 00:38:25,300 --> 00:38:28,200 in verse 20 and 21. You have the metaphors again of 611 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:32,400 a dog. A lion and a wild oxen Bulls 612 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,400 lion and dogs are repeated again. 613 00:38:34,500 --> 00:38:37,000 That's how the enemies of Christ are described. 614 00:38:37,500 --> 00:38:41,300 Someone has said they possess the strength of the bowl, the 615 00:38:41,300 --> 00:38:45,200 power of the lion and the savagery of the Wild dog. 616 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,800 That's how Christ's enemies are are described. 617 00:38:49,100 --> 00:38:51,900 And then, it says, so verse 21 Christ will be crying out. 618 00:38:51,900 --> 00:38:53,800 Rescue me from the Lions and the oxen. 619 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,600 Some of you may still have the King James Bible. 620 00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,200 Anybody have the King James Bible here. 621 00:38:58,400 --> 00:38:59,700 Does it? Say unicorn. 622 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,800 Yeah, it says unicorn in the King James Bible but most 623 00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,700 commentators now believe that this is not a unicorn that we 624 00:39:07,700 --> 00:39:11,000 think of some fantasy animal, but there actually was an animal 625 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,400 that's extinct. Now, there's an animal, it's 626 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,900 extinct, that's smaller than an elephant that actually has a 627 00:39:16,100 --> 00:39:18,900 horn. It was a vicious animal and a 628 00:39:18,908 --> 00:39:22,600 brutal animal. So it's a fitting description 629 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:26,000 for the religious leaders, who I counted eight times in the 630 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:31,700 gospels tried to kill Christ. But Finally, the our King and 631 00:39:31,700 --> 00:39:35,600 God allowed it to happen. So you have cried the prophecy 632 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,700 here of Christ. Committing his life, to the 633 00:39:37,700 --> 00:39:41,600 father in Luke 23:46. Jesus, cried out in a loud 634 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,600 voice. Father into your hands. 635 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:48,400 I commit my spirit and having said this, he breathed the last. 636 00:39:48,700 --> 00:39:50,800 Let's look at the last point in the few minutes. 637 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:55,600 We have I intentionally wanted to cover the first 21 verses to 638 00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,700 talk about the prophecies. So I'll go quickly on the Lex. 639 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,700 10 verses, but this is the second section here. 640 00:40:02,300 --> 00:40:06,700 If the first 21 verses are a cry for help, then the next 10 641 00:40:06,700 --> 00:40:10,500 verses are a song of Praise. In fact, I believe praise is 642 00:40:10,500 --> 00:40:17,900 mentioned in verse. 22 verse 23, verse 25 and verse 26, we see a 643 00:40:17,900 --> 00:40:23,300 change from prayer to praise. You know we need to experience 644 00:40:23,300 --> 00:40:26,800 the bitterness of the Cross before we can truly and praise 645 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,200 him, right? Because the Also Calvary, we can 646 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,700 Praise Him. Hebrews 12:2 says for the joy 647 00:40:33,900 --> 00:40:38,400 that was set before him. He endured the cross Christ had 648 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,600 Joy. Why knowing, because what he 649 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:44,500 would accomplish on the cross. We can now talk about in these 650 00:40:44,500 --> 00:40:48,700 final versus the final verses anticipate, the preaching of the 651 00:40:48,700 --> 00:40:53,200 Gospel, which can only take place because what Jesus Christ 652 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,600 did and they're in three groups. Number one, it's proclaimed to 653 00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,100 the Jews. Number two, its I'm to the 654 00:40:59,100 --> 00:41:01,100 Gentiles. And number three, it's 655 00:41:01,100 --> 00:41:04,400 proclaimed to a whole world. So number one Proclaim to the 656 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:08,600 Jews. He says, in verse 22, I will 657 00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,900 tell of your name to my brothers, in the midst of the 658 00:41:11,900 --> 00:41:14,800 congregation. I will praise you. 659 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,400 So it's the Risen Christ that's going to say. 660 00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:22,800 I will tell you Christ is going to lead lead a great Praise In 661 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:24,900 The Great congregate in the great congregation. 662 00:41:25,100 --> 00:41:28,200 Now this will take place at the end of the tribulation going 663 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:32,500 into the Kingdom and Christ says my brother's after the 664 00:41:32,500 --> 00:41:36,000 resurrection Jesus Christ was a preacher and a missionary. 665 00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:40,100 But how can Jesus speak two thousand years after this Psalm? 666 00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:46,000 Well, Paul says, in Ephesians 2 17 and he came and he preached 667 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:50,200 peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near 668 00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,800 Jesus Christ. Never went to Ephesus to preach. 669 00:41:54,100 --> 00:41:56,300 So, what's that mean? Well, it means when Paul 670 00:41:56,300 --> 00:42:00,500 preaches or any preacher preaches, Today, he's preaching 671 00:42:00,500 --> 00:42:03,800 the word of God. Jesus Christ is speaking through 672 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,400 his word, that gives you a great comfort in just about three 673 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,100 weeks. Will he go into Argentina? 674 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:13,100 And when we preach the gospel, Jesus is speaking. 675 00:42:13,300 --> 00:42:16,300 The holy spirit is with us, helping us preach. 676 00:42:16,300 --> 00:42:19,500 So the Risen Christ, will preach his gospel. 677 00:42:19,900 --> 00:42:24,000 And then points up to it to, to believing disciples in verse 23 678 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,300 and 24. He's talking about the 679 00:42:27,300 --> 00:42:31,500 disciples, The Offspring of A come and and The Offspring of 680 00:42:31,500 --> 00:42:33,500 Israel. And you remember after Jesus 681 00:42:33,500 --> 00:42:37,000 rose from the dead, he was here on Earth for about 50 days. 682 00:42:37,100 --> 00:42:42,500 He only showed himself to believing disciples and in 1st 683 00:42:42,500 --> 00:42:46,100 Corinthians 15. He says even up to 500 people at 684 00:42:46,100 --> 00:42:49,600 one time. So believing disciples. 685 00:42:49,900 --> 00:42:54,400 So the gospel first, went to the Jews and Romans 1:16 says, I am 686 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,800 not ashamed of the gospel for its, the power of God to 687 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,100 Salvation for anyone who believes to the Jew first and 688 00:43:01,100 --> 00:43:04,000 then to the Gentiles. So the gospel was proclaimed to 689 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,200 the Jews. You see that in Acts chapter 1, 690 00:43:07,500 --> 00:43:10,800 The Acts chapter 7, The Gospel exclusively for the Jews. 691 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,900 And then you, then number point to Proclaim to the Gentiles in 692 00:43:14,900 --> 00:43:16,900 Acts chapter 8. The gospel goes to the 693 00:43:16,900 --> 00:43:20,800 Samaritans to the Ethiopian eunuch to the Roman Centurion 694 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,400 and then it'll goes all over the Gentile world. 695 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:30,200 So in verses, 25 to 29, Apostle Paul would try to take the 696 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:34,100 gospel message to the Jews, but they would generally reject it. 697 00:43:34,300 --> 00:43:38,200 John, 1:11 said, Christ came into his own and his own people 698 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,100 did not receive him. Paul would have some Jewish 699 00:43:41,100 --> 00:43:43,900 Believers, but not many. And so, then Paul would go to 700 00:43:43,900 --> 00:43:46,500 the Gentiles on for missionary Journeys. 701 00:43:46,700 --> 00:43:49,100 And the gospel would explode around the world. 702 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,100 The psalm says, they're all in verse 27. 703 00:43:52,100 --> 00:43:55,400 All the ends of the Earth shall remember and turn Lord, all the 704 00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,600 families of the Nations. So worship before you, I Leave 705 00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:02,100 we have planted churches and all of the 194 countries of the 706 00:44:02,100 --> 00:44:05,300 world, some of those countries, the churches of the underground. 707 00:44:05,700 --> 00:44:08,300 But the psalmist says, there's going to be a great congregation 708 00:44:08,500 --> 00:44:11,200 from all the ends of the Earth and all the families of the 709 00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,000 Earth shall worship before Christ. 710 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,100 Let's look at number three. It's going to be. 711 00:44:16,100 --> 00:44:19,400 This gospel is going to Proclaim to All Peoples, verse verse 30. 712 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:24,900 And 31, I didn't mention that. I think the last four verses 28, 713 00:44:24,900 --> 00:44:28,000 29, 30 and 31. I believe the holy spirit is 714 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:29,900 speaking. Being in these verses because he 715 00:44:29,900 --> 00:44:34,700 says he. But in verses 32 31, the gospel 716 00:44:34,700 --> 00:44:36,800 is going to be proclaimed. All Peoples. 717 00:44:37,100 --> 00:44:41,800 It says, in verse 29, all the prosperous of the earth and that 718 00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:45,900 says all shall bow down to him. So the holy spirit's describing, 719 00:44:45,900 --> 00:44:48,900 peace and prosperity, probably during the millennial Kingdom 720 00:44:48,900 --> 00:44:51,200 Here. Ultimately, and lots of things 721 00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:52,700 are going to go on there. They don't have time to go 722 00:44:52,700 --> 00:44:55,900 through poverty is going to be abolished the poor and Afflicted 723 00:44:55,900 --> 00:44:58,200 will eat and be satisfied, the Earth. 724 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,800 Be filled with God's Praises, there will be a worldwide 725 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:03,200 Revival. The ends of the Earth, will 726 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:06,700 remember what Christ did at Calvary, the Lord himself will 727 00:45:06,700 --> 00:45:11,000 exercise worldwide domination. He will rule the Nations, but I 728 00:45:11,008 --> 00:45:14,800 want to finish the song tonight with the last five words and 729 00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:19,000 what powerful words they are that he has done it. 730 00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:22,700 This is the prophecy of the messiah's last words on the 731 00:45:22,700 --> 00:45:28,200 cross and most commentators say that the words that he has done. 732 00:45:28,300 --> 00:45:35,400 Done it have the same meaning as it is finished in John. 19:30, 733 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:41,100 when Jesus had received the sour wine, he said it is finished. 734 00:45:41,300 --> 00:45:44,300 He bowed his head and gave up his Spirit. 735 00:45:44,500 --> 00:45:46,600 What a fitting conclusion of this song? 736 00:45:47,300 --> 00:45:50,800 They shall come and Proclaim his righteousness to a people yet, 737 00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:56,500 unborn, written 1,000 years before Christ's birth, that he 738 00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:58,200 has done it. What is he? 739 00:45:58,300 --> 00:46:03,800 Done. He has proclaimed the great work 740 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:07,500 of redemption. A special message will be passed 741 00:46:07,500 --> 00:46:09,600 down from generation to generation. 742 00:46:09,900 --> 00:46:13,300 That Christ has finished the great work of redemption. 743 00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,200 Now, the Catholic Church would teach that that work is not 744 00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:21,300 finished, but the prophet David foretold it was and Christ 745 00:46:21,300 --> 00:46:27,000 himself said, it is finished. The satisfaction of Christ is 746 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:32,200 the only satisfaction for sin. And is so perfect and final that 747 00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:36,200 it leaves no panel. Pineal liability for any sin in 748 00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,600 The Believer. And it makes me think of that 749 00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:42,500 great verse in Revelation chapter 7, verse 9 to 10 that 750 00:46:42,500 --> 00:46:45,100 says. After this I looked and behold a 751 00:46:45,107 --> 00:46:48,700 great multitude that no one could count from every nation 752 00:46:48,900 --> 00:46:52,700 from all the tribes peoples and language were standing Before 753 00:46:52,700 --> 00:46:57,100 the Throne and before the lamb clothed in white robes and with 754 00:46:57,100 --> 00:46:59,500 palm branches in their hands crying out with a loud voice. 755 00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:04,200 Salvation Belongs To Our God, who sits on the throne and to 756 00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:07,100 the lamb. So what do we learn tonight? 757 00:47:07,100 --> 00:47:12,000 Well, I just I'm just stunned by this song but it just makes me 758 00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,900 believe the Scriptures. It makes me want to share the 759 00:47:14,900 --> 00:47:17,300 scriptures. Many people have called Psalm 760 00:47:17,300 --> 00:47:20,800 22, The Fifth Gospel. I thought the book of Isaiah was 761 00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,700 the Fifth Gospel, but many commentators are saying, this is 762 00:47:23,700 --> 00:47:27,700 the Fifth Gospel. Messianic, Psalms like this one 763 00:47:27,700 --> 00:47:31,600 are prophetic revelation. Confirmed in the New Testament 764 00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,100 and you can go home and take that chart and look up the 765 00:47:34,100 --> 00:47:36,300 verses which I mentioned up to it. 766 00:47:36,300 --> 00:47:39,800 So it makes me believe the scriptures are the very living, 767 00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:43,000 active words of God. It makes me want to obey the 768 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:44,900 scriptures when you see the Suffering. 769 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:48,200 The Emotions, you know, you can read about Matthew, Mark, Luke 770 00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:51,200 and John and get the story, The Gospel, which, you know, and 771 00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,700 just, we just had Easter a couple months ago, but here I 772 00:47:54,700 --> 00:47:58,200 see the suffering in a new light, I see the suffering that 773 00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:02,300 my savior went through. And I need to die to sin and 774 00:48:02,300 --> 00:48:04,400 live for him. Galatians 2:20. 775 00:48:04,700 --> 00:48:08,700 It also reminds me that he will never, he was forsaken, will 776 00:48:08,700 --> 00:48:13,000 never forsake me Hebrews 13:5 and then it makes me want to 777 00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,900 share the scriptures more. I want to believe them or when 778 00:48:15,900 --> 00:48:18,200 it will bathe him more and want to share them more. 779 00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,700 I want to be part of bringing people that great congregation 780 00:48:21,900 --> 00:48:23,800 that these last few verses mentioned. 781 00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:28,700 And what do we tell him that? He has done it, that Jesus died 782 00:48:28,700 --> 00:48:32,200 on the cross for our Our sins was buried and rose from the 783 00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:35,200 dead and ascended, the right hand and then he's coming back 784 00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,600 next week. We're going to look at a Psalm 785 00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:42,500 50, the Judgment saw. So if people reject Jesus 786 00:48:42,500 --> 00:48:45,200 Christ, they're going to experience the Wrath and the 787 00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,200 Judgment. That Psalm 50 for takes. 788 00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:50,500 Let's pray, Father in Heaven, thank you for letting us just 789 00:48:50,500 --> 00:48:53,800 gloss over this wonderful Psalm but may we leave here tonight 790 00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:59,100 believing the scriptures believing that this song was 791 00:48:59,100 --> 00:49:01,000 written. In a thousand years before 792 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:04,300 Christ would come and that Christ fulfilled. 793 00:49:04,300 --> 00:49:09,000 Many Psalms, I believe over 300 of them from his first coming 794 00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:13,100 from the Old Testament. It shows me that Jesus loved me 795 00:49:13,100 --> 00:49:16,700 so much that he would under intense suffering pain, in the 796 00:49:16,700 --> 00:49:20,200 most brutal form of execution, probably ever invented. 797 00:49:20,900 --> 00:49:23,000 Father, thank you for the love of Christ. 798 00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:27,200 Help us to live for you as we lift, leave here today, but 799 00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:30,600 father, especially whether it be in Argentina, whether be in our 800 00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,900 neighborhoods and our workplaces help us to share the great 801 00:49:33,900 --> 00:49:39,200 message that he has done it. That Jesus Christ has completed 802 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:42,300 the work of redemption. And all we need to do now is 803 00:49:42,300 --> 00:49:45,100 believe in him receive him as Savior. 804 00:49:45,700 --> 00:49:48,300 Thank you may we share that message as we leave here tonight 805 00:49:48,500 --> 00:49:50,400 in Jesus name, amen.
