1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,500
True with me, if you would to 
Hebrews chapter 13, as we seek 

2
00:00:04,500 --> 00:00:08,500
to tackle and the treasure 10 
Timeless truths. 

3
00:00:08,500 --> 00:00:11,200
If you've been with us, we began
a few weeks ago. 

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,500
Look at Hebrews 13, verse number
one. 

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,300
And there we learned that we 
need to respond with love to the

6
00:00:17,300 --> 00:00:19,700
needs of others. 
That was verses 1 to 3. 

7
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,100
Verse number 4, need to reaffirm
your loyalty to marriage. 

8
00:00:24,100 --> 00:00:27,100
That was the second truth. 
You need to tackle and to 

9
00:00:27,100 --> 00:00:29,600
treasure number three was to 
resist. 

10
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,100
The love of Of money. 
That's verses 5 and 6. 

11
00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:35,200
Verse number 7, you need to 
remember your leaders and follow

12
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,500
their example. 
Number five is found in verse 

13
00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:44,100
number 8 and that is to relish 
the unchangeable character of 

14
00:00:44,100 --> 00:00:47,200
our great God, Jesus Christ, Our
Lord. 

15
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:52,700
And then number six was last 
week and that was refused to 

16
00:00:52,700 --> 00:00:59,800
listen to wrong teaching. 
Today, is is number seven. 

17
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:06,800
And that is, you need to realize
the importance of separation 

18
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:11,500
from the world. 
Realize the importance of 

19
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:14,900
separation from the world and 
that's in verses 10 to 14. 

20
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,900
Let me read them to you. 
It says verse number 10, we have

21
00:01:19,900 --> 00:01:23,400
an altar from which those who 
serve the Tabernacle have no 

22
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,300
right to eat for the bodies of 
those animals. 

23
00:01:26,300 --> 00:01:29,100
Whose blood is brought into the 
holy place, by the high priests,

24
00:01:29,100 --> 00:01:33,100
as an offering for sin are 
burned, outside the camp. 

25
00:01:34,100 --> 00:01:38,000
Therefore Jesus also that he 
might sanctify the people 

26
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,300
through his own blood suffered 
outside the gate. 

27
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,700
So let us go out to him outside 
the camp. 

28
00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:51,900
Bearing, his reproach for here, 
we do not have a lasting City, 

29
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:57,700
but we are seeking the city, 
which is To come. 

30
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,200
Now, you read that. 
You think what on Earth is he 

31
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:08,800
trying to say How do you get the
principal realize the importance

32
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:14,500
of separation from the world out
of those four verses? 

33
00:02:15,300 --> 00:02:18,900
Well, remember, we're not 
Jewish. 

34
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,300
If we were we'd really have no 
problem understanding what he's 

35
00:02:23,300 --> 00:02:28,300
saying, but, because we're not, 
we need to kind of come to grips

36
00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:33,100
with what he's trying to get 
across to this Hebrew audience. 

37
00:02:34,100 --> 00:02:38,100
What is he saying? 
Well one of the keys is the 

38
00:02:38,100 --> 00:02:43,100
phrase outside, the camp. 
Verse 11, verse 12 outside, the 

39
00:02:43,100 --> 00:02:47,500
gate verse number 13 outside the
camp. 

40
00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:52,400
So whatever is on the outside is
different from what's on the 

41
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,700
inside and so there's a 
separation there. 

42
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,400
And what is that separation? 
What does he want us to 

43
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,200
understand? 
When you think about it? 

44
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,000
And you And Jewish history. 
It's not that difficult. 

45
00:03:07,900 --> 00:03:11,300
The problem is, if you read 
different commentators on this, 

46
00:03:11,300 --> 00:03:15,000
you'll get a variety of 
different interpretations of it.

47
00:03:15,500 --> 00:03:17,500
I'm not going to go through all 
those with you this morning. 

48
00:03:17,500 --> 00:03:20,400
We wouldn't have enough time to 
do that, but let me just give 

49
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,200
you what I believe the writer is
trying to say. 

50
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:28,300
He gives us an illustration that
he gives us an exhortation and 

51
00:03:28,300 --> 00:03:30,600
then it gives us the motivation.
Okay? 

52
00:03:30,900 --> 00:03:33,200
So if you can just remember 
those three points when it comes

53
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,200
to realizing our need the 
importance of separation from 

54
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,600
the world, there's an Tration, 
there's an exhortation and then 

55
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,400
there's a motivation. 
What is the illustration? 

56
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,300
Well, look at verse 10, we have 
an altar. 

57
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,500
Who's we? 
The Jewish Nation? 

58
00:03:49,700 --> 00:03:53,700
We have an altar, they know the 
altar in the temple, the new of 

59
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:56,600
the altar, in the, in the 
Tabernacle, they knew of the 

60
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:01,200
altar, in the tent of meeting, 
we have an altar, from which 

61
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,400
those who serve the Tabernacle 
have no right to eat. 

62
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,900
Well, who's that? 
Well, read on for the bodies of 

63
00:04:08,900 --> 00:04:12,300
those animals, whose blood is 
brought into the holy place by 

64
00:04:12,300 --> 00:04:17,399
the high priest, as an offering 
for sin are burned outside. 

65
00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:23,200
The camp. 
So there is a an offering which 

66
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:28,200
cannot be eating eaten and what 
is the only offering that the 

67
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,600
priest could not eat? 
It was the offering offered on 

68
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,500
the day of atonement the 
offering which once the animals 

69
00:04:35,500 --> 00:04:39,200
were sacrificed, the blood was 
sprinkled in the holy of holies 

70
00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:43,600
on The Mercy Seat. 
The carcasses of those animals 

71
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:48,100
were taken outside the city 
outside the camp, and they were 

72
00:04:48,100 --> 00:04:52,100
burned. 
Why, why is it? 

73
00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:57,800
The high priest could partake of
any other offering offered, but 

74
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,200
on the day of atonement, he can 
partake of this offering. 

75
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,500
Which was offered instead, it 
had to be taken outside the camp

76
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,500
and burned because it happened 
on the day of atonement the day 

77
00:05:11,500 --> 00:05:13,600
in which the high priest would 
go in and offer sacrifice for 

78
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,700
the sins of the people 
anticipating their sins in the 

79
00:05:16,700 --> 00:05:20,400
new year and looking for 
forgiveness of sins from the 

80
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,300
previous year. 
And the reason they took those 

81
00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:26,400
animals outside the city in the 
burned them was because it 

82
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,400
symbolized a separation. 
There's our keyword from their 

83
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,300
sin. 
In other words, I'm offering a 

84
00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:38,700
sacrifice on behalf of my family
on behalf of the nation for 

85
00:05:38,700 --> 00:05:40,800
their sins. 
And there needs to be a 

86
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,400
separation of my life from that 
sin. 

87
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,400
So there was great, shame in 
great reproach upon those 

88
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,400
carcasses that were burned 
because of symbolized me, truly,

89
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,200
repented of my sin. 
I want nothing else to do with 

90
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,000
that sin, I'm going to separate 
myself from that sin. 

91
00:05:59,300 --> 00:06:01,100
The blood sacrifice has been 
offered. 

92
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,500
My sins have been covered, 
therefore, I don't want to go 

93
00:06:03,500 --> 00:06:06,500
back into that sin. 
That's why the carcasses were 

94
00:06:06,500 --> 00:06:10,000
taken outside the city. 
And they were burned. 

95
00:06:10,900 --> 00:06:14,600
Then he says this. 
Therefore verse 12. 

96
00:06:15,100 --> 00:06:18,600
Jesus also. 
Jesus. 

97
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:23,000
Also that he might sanctify the 
people through his own blood 

98
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,100
suffered outside the gate. 
Now we know that Jesus suffered 

99
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:31,800
outside the gate because outside
the Damascus gate is Mount 

100
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:36,100
Calvary, the place of the skull 
with crucifixion took place in 

101
00:06:36,100 --> 00:06:42,400
Christ was crucified outside the
gate, but Christ also was 

102
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:47,400
rejected like the sacrifice the 
carcasses that were burned were 

103
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,200
rejected. 
So Christ to was rejected by 

104
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:57,200
those of the Jewish Nation. 
And he was crucified outside the

105
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:02,500
gate, but the problem is Christ 
was the Fulfillment of 

106
00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:05,500
everything, the Old Testament 
offering pictured. 

107
00:07:06,900 --> 00:07:10,800
Christ was the Fulfillment 
because he was the one sacrifice

108
00:07:11,300 --> 00:07:17,100
that once offered would not just
cover the sins but remove all 

109
00:07:17,100 --> 00:07:21,700
their sins. 
So Christ was the Fulfillment of

110
00:07:21,700 --> 00:07:26,400
what the day of atonement was 
pointing to so as they would 

111
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,100
reject the carcasses and burn 
the carcasses to separate 

112
00:07:30,100 --> 00:07:35,600
themselves from their sin, Jesus
himself was also crucified 

113
00:07:35,700 --> 00:07:40,500
outside the gate that's where he
suffered and he did it very the 

114
00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:44,100
reproach of the people he did it
bearing, the sins of the people 

115
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:50,800
But yet, they not not only just 
removed themselves or rejected 

116
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,900
the carcasses of those that were
burned or that were sacrificed. 

117
00:07:56,300 --> 00:08:02,300
They rejected the one 
fulfillment of what all the Old 

118
00:08:02,300 --> 00:08:07,500
Testament pointed to and they 
wanted nothing to do with him. 

119
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:13,200
So he tells them, therefore, 
Jesus also that he might 

120
00:08:13,300 --> 00:08:17,700
separate. 
If I make holy the people 

121
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,100
through his own blood, he 
suffered outside the gate, 

122
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,400
otherwise he's taking them back 
to the fact that this is a 

123
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,200
fulfillment of New, Covenant 
promise that everything that the

124
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,700
old Covenant pointed to Christ 
fulfilled it. 

125
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,000
But yet you rejected him they 
says this. 

126
00:08:36,100 --> 00:08:43,600
So let us go out to him outside.
The camp. 

127
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:49,200
Now, think about this in the 
book of Exodus, Exodus chapter 

128
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:55,000
33 33. 
Moses moved the tent of meeting 

129
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,800
from inside the camp, Two 
outside the camp. 

130
00:09:01,900 --> 00:09:06,300
Okay, Israel had committed 
idolatry immorality. 

131
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,000
Israel had said we will obey all
that. 

132
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,000
The law says, but Moses was 
taking too long to come down 

133
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,100
from the mountain and so they 
they took their jewelry and they

134
00:09:17,100 --> 00:09:20,400
made this molten calf as golden 
calf and began to worship the 

135
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,300
golden calf and the Lord was 
incensed with them. 

136
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,500
And so he took the tent of 
meeting and moved it outside the

137
00:09:27,500 --> 00:09:30,400
camp of Israel. 
And so if you wanted to approach

138
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,700
God you couldn't approach him 
inside the camp. 

139
00:09:34,300 --> 00:09:37,200
He had approached him outside 
the camp. 

140
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,500
It's what Moses was. 
Go outside the camp to the tent 

141
00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:43,300
of meeting and the glory of the 
Lord would come down and the 

142
00:09:43,300 --> 00:09:45,900
people would go outside their 
tents and stand. 

143
00:09:45,900 --> 00:09:50,900
And observe Moses was outside, 
Moses was separated from those 

144
00:09:50,900 --> 00:09:54,600
who are inside the camp and the 
only way to approach God was to 

145
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:59,100
approach him outside the camp 
not inside the camp because 

146
00:09:59,100 --> 00:10:02,300
inside was a reminder of 
idolatry and immorality on the 

147
00:10:02,300 --> 00:10:05,400
outside is reminder of Holiness 
and purity. 

148
00:10:07,300 --> 00:10:10,400
So the writer of Hebrews is 
right, these people who know all

149
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:11,600
this. 
See they get it. 

150
00:10:12,300 --> 00:10:13,700
We don't know all this but they 
do. 

151
00:10:14,700 --> 00:10:16,500
They knew what happened on the 
day of atonement. 

152
00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:19,700
They knew why the carcasses were
burned outside the city. 

153
00:10:20,700 --> 00:10:22,800
They knew they wanted nothing 
else to do with their sin, 

154
00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:24,400
although they would commit the 
same sins. 

155
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,000
Again, it was symbolic of 
separate themselves from their 

156
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,000
sin. 
They knew that Christ was 

157
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,700
crucified outside the gate. 
They knew that the Jewish people

158
00:10:33,700 --> 00:10:36,500
rejected him as their Messiah, 
okay? 

159
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,200
Even though he was the 
Fulfillment as a right if he was

160
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:44,100
instead, Throughout the previous
12 chapters, he was the 

161
00:10:44,100 --> 00:10:46,200
Fulfillment of the New Covenant 
yet. 

162
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,200
They rejected him as they 
rejected the carcasses. 

163
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,800
And they wanted nothing to do 
with him, but he was the atoning

164
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:59,200
sacrifice for their sins. 
So now he says, listen you need 

165
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,800
to go outside the camp. 
Need to approach this one Christ

166
00:11:04,300 --> 00:11:07,400
need to go to him. 
Now, when you think about the 

167
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,200
context of everything you 
realize that member last week, 

168
00:11:11,300 --> 00:11:14,800
he said these words in verse 
number 9, he says do not be 

169
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,000
carried away by varied and 
strange doctrines or teachings 

170
00:11:18,300 --> 00:11:21,300
for his good for the heart. 
Art to be strengthened by Grace,

171
00:11:21,300 --> 00:11:25,500
not by Foods. 
Look, it's not your dietary 

172
00:11:25,500 --> 00:11:28,200
laws. 
It's not your ceremonial laws, 

173
00:11:28,300 --> 00:11:31,800
they're going to strengthen you.
He says through which those who 

174
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:36,000
were so occupied were not 
benefited. 

175
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,500
In other words, they don't 
benefit you anymore. 

176
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:44,300
When Christ came, the ceremonial
laws were done away, with all 

177
00:11:44,300 --> 00:11:47,800
those rituals were done away 
with the only law that stands is

178
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:52,300
the moral law of God. 
And Christ came to fulfill the 

179
00:11:52,300 --> 00:11:56,900
law of the prophets. 
And now just like those dietary 

180
00:11:56,900 --> 00:12:01,300
laws, don't benefit you but you 
need to be strengthened by his 

181
00:12:01,300 --> 00:12:05,700
grace. 
So to nothing inside the gate, 

182
00:12:05,700 --> 00:12:08,200
nothing inside the camp is going
to benefit you. 

183
00:12:08,300 --> 00:12:11,100
You have to approach the one 
outside the camp. 

184
00:12:11,100 --> 00:12:14,800
The one that was crucified for 
your sins, the one who bore your

185
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,900
reproach in his body that you 
might be set free from your sin,

186
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,400
you are to approach him outside 
the camp. 

187
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:23,000
And that's what he's trying to 
say. 

188
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,900
It's an illustration, it's no 
stration of being separate from 

189
00:12:26,900 --> 00:12:31,300
the world system being separated
from legalism being separated 

190
00:12:31,300 --> 00:12:34,700
from ceremonialism, being 
separated from your judicial, 

191
00:12:35,700 --> 00:12:41,500
Judy istic practices, and come 
all the way to Christ to worship

192
00:12:41,500 --> 00:12:45,500
him, and to adore him. 
It's all about separation. 

193
00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:52,000
And then he says this. 
So let us go out to him outside 

194
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,800
the camp bearing. 
His Reproach. 

195
00:12:58,300 --> 00:13:01,800
Bearing his reproach. 
There's something unique about 

196
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:07,200
that separation. 
And that separation cause you to

197
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:12,300
Bear the reproach of Christ. 
Remember, Moses talked about him

198
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:19,800
months ago, he was 11. 
It says these words verse 26, 

199
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:24,300
that Moses considering the 
reproach of Christ greater 

200
00:13:24,300 --> 00:13:29,200
riches than the treasures of 
Egypt. 

201
00:13:29,900 --> 00:13:32,700
Other words to Bear. 
The reproach of Christ was a 

202
00:13:32,700 --> 00:13:36,200
greater treasure than all the 
treasures in Egypt. 

203
00:13:37,300 --> 00:13:43,300
Moses recognize that. 
So here is the writer of Hebrews

204
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:48,500
going back to that helping you 
understand that when you go out 

205
00:13:48,500 --> 00:13:54,300
to Christ, when you approached 
him on his terms, his way his 

206
00:13:54,300 --> 00:13:59,000
time, the one who bore your sin,
now you're able to go to him and

207
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:03,100
when you do You will suffer 
along with him. 

208
00:14:04,300 --> 00:14:07,000
Why? 
Because that's what Christianity

209
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,200
is. 
It's taking up your cross and 

210
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,700
following Christ. 
It's bearing. 

211
00:14:12,700 --> 00:14:17,400
The reproach of Christ greater 
riches than the treasures of 

212
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:22,400
anything else. 
So important to understand, so 

213
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,400
he gives us exhortation. 
If you want to approach Christ, 

214
00:14:27,300 --> 00:14:30,900
you separate yourself from the 
world system, you separate 

215
00:14:30,900 --> 00:14:34,800
yourself from all. 
That's that's keeping you from 

216
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,800
being totally committed to your 
God. 

217
00:14:38,100 --> 00:14:39,300
I thought about that and I 
thought to myself. 

218
00:14:39,300 --> 00:14:42,100
Wow. 
How many times do we let the 

219
00:14:42,100 --> 00:14:48,300
world take control of Our Lives?
Over the years, I've told you. 

220
00:14:49,700 --> 00:14:54,800
Very simply. 
That you can't care about the 

221
00:14:54,800 --> 00:15:00,500
things of the world. 
Because once you begin to care 

222
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,700
for the things of the world, you
will soon become companioned 

223
00:15:06,500 --> 00:15:13,200
with the things of the world. 
James 4:4 he who is a friend of 

224
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:20,800
the world is an enemy of God. 
So many times, we are so 

225
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,600
concerned about the world, we're
we care so much about the things

226
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,700
of the world. 
I'm not talking about the world.

227
00:15:26,700 --> 00:15:28,800
In terms of its physicality, I'm
talk about the world. 

228
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:33,500
In terms of its its influence, 
And having it attitude of 

229
00:15:33,500 --> 00:15:36,200
worldliness. 
The Bible says that the world is

230
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:37,900
passing away and the lust 
thereof. 

231
00:15:37,900 --> 00:15:42,200
He doesn't will of God, abides 
forever Christ said in sync with

232
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,500
these chicks, come out from 
among them and be separate. 

233
00:15:46,500 --> 00:15:48,700
Crisis, always called us a 
separation. 

234
00:15:48,700 --> 00:15:51,900
He died to sanctify us. 
He died, two, separate us for 

235
00:15:51,900 --> 00:15:54,900
the world system. 
We are in the world, but we're 

236
00:15:54,900 --> 00:15:58,900
not to be of the world. 
Remember Lot's, wife. 

237
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,800
In Luke's gospel, he tells us 
remember Lot's wife. 

238
00:16:05,700 --> 00:16:08,200
Why? 
Because you see a lot of this 

239
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,000
family. 
They were. 

240
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,700
They love Sodom. 
That's why they were there. 

241
00:16:15,300 --> 00:16:17,700
And the angel said, you got to 
go because the Lord's going to 

242
00:16:17,708 --> 00:16:20,900
story Sodom but but they weren't
moving. 

243
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,200
So the angel had to grab them 
and remove them from Sodom 

244
00:16:26,100 --> 00:16:31,400
physically remove them. 
From Sodom and we know from 

245
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,600
Peters account that lot was a 
righteous man. 

246
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,500
We would have never known that. 
Had Peter not told us that but 

247
00:16:38,500 --> 00:16:42,200
he was a righteous man and God 
removed him. 

248
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:47,000
The angel remove them from Sodom
and said to them, do not look 

249
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,600
back. 
Don't look back. 

250
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,000
Look straight ahead, move on, 
get out. 

251
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,700
But Lot's wife, she couldn't 
resist the temptation. 

252
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,700
She couldn't, she couldn't come 
to grips with the fact that 

253
00:17:02,700 --> 00:17:06,000
everything that she had in 
Sodom, she would have no more 

254
00:17:06,900 --> 00:17:11,300
her hairdresser. 
Her mole, her shoes. 

255
00:17:11,900 --> 00:17:16,000
Everything she ever wanted was 
all in Sodom, is she couldn't 

256
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,400
bear the fact that it was all 
going to be destroyed. 

257
00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:21,200
And so even though I said Don't 
Look Back. 

258
00:17:22,500 --> 00:17:25,099
Lot's wife. 
She couldn't she just couldn't 

259
00:17:25,099 --> 00:17:29,500
resist. 
She turned and looked back with,

260
00:17:29,500 --> 00:17:35,600
probably a tinge of of paying in
her heart and tears, in her eyes

261
00:17:35,700 --> 00:17:39,800
that she lost everything. 
She was immediately turned into 

262
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,800
a pillar of salt. 
The Bible says remember Lot's 

263
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,900
wife as she cared for the things
of the world. 

264
00:17:49,700 --> 00:17:54,300
And when you care for the things
of the world, you soon will be 

265
00:17:54,300 --> 00:18:00,200
companioned with the things in 
the people of the world. 

266
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,900
And if you become companioned 
with the things of the world, 

267
00:18:06,500 --> 00:18:10,600
you will become contaminated by 
the things of the world. 

268
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,000
You will James 1 verse number 
27. 

269
00:18:16,900 --> 00:18:20,600
James makes it very clear that 
pure and undefiled religion in 

270
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,700
the sight of God and Father, is 
this to visit orphans and widows

271
00:18:24,700 --> 00:18:32,900
in their distress and to keep 
oneself unstained by the world. 

272
00:18:33,900 --> 00:18:38,300
Unstained by the world. 
But you see if you care for it. 

273
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,400
You're gonna be companion with 
it. 

274
00:18:42,500 --> 00:18:46,600
You'll become a friend of the 
world. and if you become 

275
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:51,500
companion with the world, you'll
be contaminated. 

276
00:18:52,500 --> 00:18:56,600
By the world. 
If you're contaminated by the 

277
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:01,500
world. 
You'll be conformed to the 

278
00:19:01,500 --> 00:19:04,700
world. 
What does Paul say in Romans 

279
00:19:04,700 --> 00:19:09,900
chapter 12? 
And be not conformed to this 

280
00:19:09,900 --> 00:19:14,300
world? 
But be transformed by the 

281
00:19:14,300 --> 00:19:20,000
renewing of your mind. 
How many people that, you know? 

282
00:19:21,500 --> 00:19:25,200
Care so much about the things of
the world that they dabble in 

283
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:29,400
the things, the world and soon 
they become contaminated by 

284
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,800
those things. 
Because they became a friend of 

285
00:19:33,808 --> 00:19:36,800
the world. 
And because they were 

286
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:41,300
contaminated, all of a sudden, 
everything about them becomes 

287
00:19:41,300 --> 00:19:45,300
conformed to the world. 
The jokes they tell. 

288
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:52,000
The words, they use the way they
dress, the places they go. 

289
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,500
To become so mold into the 
world's image instead of 

290
00:19:56,700 --> 00:20:02,100
Christ's image. 
And those who care. 

291
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,700
For the world. 
And become companion by the 

292
00:20:06,700 --> 00:20:10,000
world. 
And become contaminated by the 

293
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:16,500
world and conform to the world. 
Our soon controlled by the world

294
00:20:17,300 --> 00:20:20,800
and we're Dimas 2nd, Timothy 4 
verse number 10. 

295
00:20:22,300 --> 00:20:26,300
He has left me. 
Paul says why because of his 

296
00:20:26,300 --> 00:20:33,000
love for The world. 
His love for the world. 

297
00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:43,600
And he was controlled by it. 
So, if that's the case, If you 

298
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:48,800
don't become convicted. 
You'll be condemned along with 

299
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:53,900
the world. 
First Kings. 11:32 Paul says, 

300
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,900
when we are judged, we are 
chastened by the Lord are 

301
00:20:56,908 --> 00:21:01,400
disciplined by the Lord, that we
should not be condemned along 

302
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:07,600
with The world. 
But when the writer of Hebrews 

303
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,800
says, listen. 
You know, we have an altar. 

304
00:21:13,100 --> 00:21:14,900
You know what took place on that
altar? 

305
00:21:15,900 --> 00:21:19,500
On the day of atonement. 
And their priests were not 

306
00:21:19,500 --> 00:21:22,900
allowed to eat of that offering,
because that offering was a sin 

307
00:21:22,900 --> 00:21:27,500
offering. 
And when that was taken care of 

308
00:21:27,500 --> 00:21:29,600
in the blood was sprinkled on 
The Mercy Seat, you took that 

309
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,300
offering you took that carcass, 
you took it outside the camp and

310
00:21:32,300 --> 00:21:34,700
you burned it because you want 
to nothing to do with you want 

311
00:21:34,700 --> 00:21:38,700
to separate yourself from that 
sin and likewise Christ. 

312
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,300
He was the Fulfillment of all 
that the day of atonement 

313
00:21:42,300 --> 00:21:47,500
pointed to but she rejected him 
as well. and he went out 

314
00:21:47,500 --> 00:21:51,800
bearing, the reproach of the 
people Bearing the sins of the 

315
00:21:51,800 --> 00:22:00,300
people so that so that you will 
be separated Sanctified by his 

316
00:22:00,300 --> 00:22:01,600
blood. 
For without the shedding of 

317
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,400
blood, there is no forgiveness 
of sins. 

318
00:22:04,900 --> 00:22:08,500
So here's your expectation. 
You want to approach him. 

319
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,700
You need to approach him in a 
way that you are outside the 

320
00:22:12,708 --> 00:22:14,000
camp. 
Bearing, his reproach. 

321
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,900
In other words outside the world
system outside the legalists 

322
00:22:18,900 --> 00:22:21,800
system outside. 
All those things that are 

323
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,600
tempting to control you and 
contaminate you that you might 

324
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,900
be conformed to those things. 
Remove yourself from those 

325
00:22:28,900 --> 00:22:33,100
things and go to him. 
Refuse. 

326
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,000
Refuse to engage in sinful 
behavior and realize the 

327
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:43,400
importance of separation from 
the world. for, when you do, 

328
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,500
You'll bear the reproach of 
Christ. 

329
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:53,300
You will. 
Because Paul said those who 

330
00:22:53,300 --> 00:22:56,500
desire to live Godly in Christ, 
Jesus will suffer persecution 

331
00:22:57,700 --> 00:22:59,200
Christ. 
That if they persecuted me, 

332
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:05,200
they're going to persecute you. 
Christ said, take up your cross 

333
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,600
and follow me. 
Paul said, he wanted to learn 

334
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,500
The Fellowship of the Lord's 
suffering. 

335
00:23:12,900 --> 00:23:18,600
In the motivation for all this 
verse 14. for here, we do not 

336
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:23,900
have a lasting City, but we are 
seeking the city which is to 

337
00:23:23,900 --> 00:23:28,300
come What's the motivation to 
going to Christ? 

338
00:23:28,300 --> 00:23:30,300
What's the motivation to 
separate yourself from the 

339
00:23:30,300 --> 00:23:32,600
world? 
This world is passing away, but,

340
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,300
but you have a city, that's an 
eternal City and 12. 

341
00:23:36,300 --> 00:23:38,800
It was a, it was a kingdom. 
That was an unshakable Kingdom 

342
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,400
right here. 
It's a city, same city that, and

343
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:47,900
he was 11, Abraham looked to 
then Abraham anticipated, whose 

344
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,100
architect and Builder was God 
himself. 

345
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,900
What motivated, Abraham that 
lasting City, what motivated? 

346
00:23:57,700 --> 00:24:02,800
Moses, it tells us, he was 11. 
He chose rather to endure Rio 

347
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,500
treatment with the people of 
God, than to enjoy the passing 

348
00:24:05,500 --> 00:24:08,700
pleasures of sin, considering 
the reproach of Christ greater 

349
00:24:08,700 --> 00:24:12,800
riches than the treasures of 
Egypt for he was looking to the 

350
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,300
reward. 
For by faith. 

351
00:24:15,300 --> 00:24:18,200
He left Egypt, not fearing the 
Wrath of the king for he endured

352
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:27,100
as seeing him who is unseen. 
You see, he was able to perceive

353
00:24:27,900 --> 00:24:32,100
the invisible. 
Because he preferred the 

354
00:24:32,100 --> 00:24:36,200
imperishable. 
He preferred the reproach of 

355
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,800
Christ as greater riches than 
the treasures of Egypt. 

356
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,200
Therefore he can endure as 
seeing him who is unseen. 

357
00:24:44,300 --> 00:24:48,400
The right if he was comes back 
to that and says, listen, here's

358
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,200
your motivation. 
This is all passing away. 

359
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:58,900
It's all going off the scene. 
It's not going to last. if you 

360
00:24:58,908 --> 00:25:02,700
keep seeking the city which is 
before you the Unseen city of 

361
00:25:02,700 --> 00:25:08,100
God, the heavenly Jerusalem, the
opportunity to bring the 

362
00:25:08,100 --> 00:25:12,400
presence of God forever. 
That'll keep you. 

363
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,900
Keep you motivated. 
It's always the motivation in 

364
00:25:15,900 --> 00:25:19,900
Scripture. 
Always motivation member the 

365
00:25:19,900 --> 00:25:23,300
clearer. 
You see the future? 

366
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,600
The cleaner you stand in the 
presence. 

367
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,200
That was all through the Book of
Daniel. 

368
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,200
Right. 
Daniel saw the future. 

369
00:25:35,300 --> 00:25:37,300
God gave him visions of the 
future. 

370
00:25:39,100 --> 00:25:41,500
You're hard-pressed to find 
anybody in the scriptures 

371
00:25:41,500 --> 00:25:46,100
cleaner than Daniel. 
Percy, clearly perceive the 

372
00:25:46,100 --> 00:25:50,100
future. 
He could stand clean in the 

373
00:25:50,100 --> 00:25:53,000
present, it's always the 
motivation. 

374
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,900
Keep seeking those things which 
are above not below, right seek.

375
00:25:56,900 --> 00:25:59,200
Ye first, the kingdom of God and
all these things will be added 

376
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:00,900
unto you. 
Everything is about searching 

377
00:26:00,900 --> 00:26:04,500
for that, which is imperishable 
that, which is eternal. 

378
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,800
That, which is filled with the 
glory of the Lord. 

379
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,300
So, A truth. 
You must tackle. 

380
00:26:14,500 --> 00:26:18,300
And you must treasure is to 
realize the importance of 

381
00:26:18,300 --> 00:26:23,700
separation from the world. 
That's number seven. 

382
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,400
Let me give you a number eight. 
Two in one day. 

383
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:38,700
Hold on there. 
And that is return all glory and

384
00:26:38,700 --> 00:26:45,600
praise to the Lord. 
Return all glory and praise to 

385
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:50,400
the Lord verse number 15 through
him. 

386
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:55,900
Then let us continually offer up
a sacrifice of praise to God. 

387
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:01,500
That is the fruit of lips that 
give thanks to his name and do 

388
00:27:01,500 --> 00:27:04,700
not neglect, doing good and 
sharing for with such 

389
00:27:04,700 --> 00:27:08,800
sacrifices, God is pleased. 
Now, listen carefully. 

390
00:27:09,700 --> 00:27:13,100
If you're a Jew. 
And you're converted to 

391
00:27:13,108 --> 00:27:16,100
Christianity. 
One of the questions you're 

392
00:27:16,100 --> 00:27:19,900
going to ask is. 
I've been offering sacrifices 

393
00:27:19,900 --> 00:27:24,600
all my life. 
What sacrifices now do I offer? 

394
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:33,400
He tells me, first of all, you 
offer the sacrifice of yourself.

395
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,900
By not associated Association 
associated with the things of 

396
00:27:37,900 --> 00:27:41,300
the world. 
And then you, you offer 

397
00:27:41,300 --> 00:27:45,400
sacrifice of song. 
And then you offer a sacrifice 

398
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,000
of substance. 
In other words, you offer 

399
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,800
sacrifice of your person, right?
I beseech, you, therefore 

400
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,900
Brethren by the mercies of God, 
that you offer yourself a 

401
00:27:55,900 --> 00:28:00,200
sacrifice unto God, right? 
Well to do that. 

402
00:28:00,300 --> 00:28:02,800
You're going to Bear the 
reproach of Christ to do that. 

403
00:28:02,900 --> 00:28:05,000
You're going to separate 
yourself from the world. 

404
00:28:06,500 --> 00:28:08,500
He goes on to say and be not 
conformed to this world, but be 

405
00:28:08,500 --> 00:28:09,800
transformed by the renewing of 
your mind. 

406
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,400
That's, that's Romans 12:1 and 
2. 

407
00:28:12,100 --> 00:28:16,100
So there's the sacrifice of 
person, then the second Vice of 

408
00:28:16,100 --> 00:28:20,500
praise and then there's a 
sacrifice of your purse where 

409
00:28:20,500 --> 00:28:24,200
your money is. 
We are substance is see, he's 

410
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:25,900
telling them, they're still a 
sacrifice. 

411
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,900
Everything that Christ did 
fulfilled Old Testament, 

412
00:28:30,900 --> 00:28:35,300
promised everything Christ. 
Did he came to show you that? 

413
00:28:35,300 --> 00:28:37,100
He fulfilled. 
All of that. 

414
00:28:38,700 --> 00:28:41,700
Through his one. 
Sacrifice on calvary's Cross. 

415
00:28:42,900 --> 00:28:44,600
But yet there's still a 
sacrifice, you offer. 

416
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,600
In the first sacrifices 
yourself. 

417
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,600
You don't want to be conformed 
to the world. 

418
00:28:51,500 --> 00:28:53,300
You'll be transformed by the 
renewing of your mind. 

419
00:28:53,300 --> 00:28:55,100
You want to, you want to 
separate yourself from the world

420
00:28:55,100 --> 00:28:58,000
and sacrifice of myself as unto 
God. 

421
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,300
If you don't do that. 
You won't offer sacrifice of 

422
00:29:03,300 --> 00:29:06,200
praise and you certainly won't 
offer sacrifice of your purse. 

423
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:13,000
You see people meeting, the 
needs of others is easy, when 

424
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,700
they've already sacrificed 
themselves. 

425
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,500
But sacrificing for the needs of
others is very difficult if I'm 

426
00:29:19,500 --> 00:29:24,700
unwilling to sacrifice myself. 
For God's purposes for God's 

427
00:29:24,700 --> 00:29:28,000
glory. 
So, you return all glory and 

428
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:34,800
praise to the Lord by offering a
sacrifice of praise to his name.

429
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,800
Specific substrate wives, you 
don't know what circumstances, 

430
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,300
you know, my situation, you know
how bad things are for me? 

431
00:29:44,900 --> 00:29:50,300
No, I don't but God knows and 
you hear people say it all the 

432
00:29:50,300 --> 00:29:53,000
time, you know, I'm like I'm 
like job. 

433
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,100
I'm going through all this 
Affliction and all this 

434
00:29:55,100 --> 00:29:57,700
difficulty and my answer to that
is no no. 

435
00:29:57,700 --> 00:29:58,800
You haven't read the book of 
job. 

436
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:00,900
If you think you're like job, 
you haven't read the book. 

437
00:30:01,500 --> 00:30:03,700
If you read the book, you can 
realize you're nothing like Joe,

438
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,200
because jobs the epitome of 
suffering and affliction. 

439
00:30:08,300 --> 00:30:09,800
Beyond anything we could ever 
imagine. 

440
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,800
Yet, he honored and glorified 
his God, and praise His name. 

441
00:30:14,100 --> 00:30:19,600
And so, we too are to offer 
sacrifice of praise continually 

442
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:24,500
says perpetually. 
Repeatedly. 

443
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:29,800
Listen, if you are constantly 
offering a sacrifice of praise, 

444
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:34,300
there is no room left. 
For you to grumble. 

445
00:30:36,700 --> 00:30:40,100
If you're continually offering a
sacrifice of Thanksgiving to 

446
00:30:40,100 --> 00:30:46,000
God, there's no room for you to 
speak, bitterness and anger. 

447
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,800
And Grumble and murmur and 
complain. 

448
00:30:52,300 --> 00:30:53,800
Because your mouth is filled 
with praise. 

449
00:30:55,600 --> 00:31:01,200
That's a sacrifice. because if 
you look at our lives, They're 

450
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,400
not necessarily characterized by
Praise. 

451
00:31:04,700 --> 00:31:06,500
The characterized by all sorts 
of things. 

452
00:31:08,500 --> 00:31:10,500
And yes, important that we 
realize. 

453
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,900
That we offer a sacrifice of 
praise unto God. 

454
00:31:17,100 --> 00:31:20,800
Continually. 
Repeatedly. 

455
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:27,100
All the time. 
We should do this on a regular 

456
00:31:27,100 --> 00:31:32,500
basis. 
We should praise him in the 

457
00:31:32,500 --> 00:31:35,400
midst of your Affliction as bad 
as it is. 

458
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,600
You can say, Lord, I Thank you 
that I'm not like job. 

459
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:44,100
And I haven't lost everything. 
I thank you that I'm not like 

460
00:31:44,100 --> 00:31:48,500
Joe but I can't sleep at night. 
I think about why I'm not like 

461
00:31:48,500 --> 00:31:51,300
Joe because I don't I have the 
Affliction but I don't have all 

462
00:31:51,300 --> 00:31:53,700
the loss associated with the 
Affliction Lord. 

463
00:31:53,700 --> 00:31:56,100
I Thank you that that I'm not 
like Joe because I don't have 

464
00:31:56,100 --> 00:31:58,500
friends like Joe had. 
I have good friends. 

465
00:31:58,500 --> 00:32:00,200
I have a church. 
I have a support system. 

466
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,300
People that were pray for me 
people that will love on me, 

467
00:32:02,300 --> 00:32:07,700
people that were bringing meals.
You've been had that But I think

468
00:32:07,700 --> 00:32:11,700
it works for what you've done. 
To give praise to his name. 

469
00:32:13,700 --> 00:32:17,700
And he talks about offering. 
A substance to people. 

470
00:32:19,900 --> 00:32:23,200
Neglect, doing good and sharing 
for with such brats sacrifices. 

471
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:27,100
God is pleased. 
The great to be able to, please 

472
00:32:27,100 --> 00:32:30,400
the Lord. 
Don't you want to please him? 

473
00:32:31,900 --> 00:32:37,800
When you sacrifice your person, 
your praise and your purse, he's

474
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,400
pleased. 
Because you're putting him Above

475
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,700
All Else. 
You're returning glory and 

476
00:32:44,700 --> 00:32:48,400
praise to his name. 
And that's what God wants us to 

477
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:52,700
do. 
Isaiah 43, 21. 

478
00:32:54,300 --> 00:32:56,300
The people I have formed for 
myself. 

479
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:02,300
They will declare my praise. 
It's not optional, it's going to

480
00:33:02,300 --> 00:33:05,500
happen. 
The people I have formed for 

481
00:33:05,500 --> 00:33:07,200
myself, they will declare my 
praise. 

482
00:33:07,700 --> 00:33:10,000
That's just what they do. 
That's who they are. 

483
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,900
Their people appraise, read the 
songs, right? 

484
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,000
The song was over and over 
again. 

485
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,800
It is good to give, thanks unto 
the Lord. 

486
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,100
It is good to give praise to the
Lord. 

487
00:33:22,300 --> 00:33:25,300
It is good to give. 
Thanks to the Lord over and over

488
00:33:25,300 --> 00:33:29,400
and over, and over again. 
Effect. 

489
00:33:30,500 --> 00:33:36,800
Psalm 33 says this seeing for 
joy in the Lord O you righteous 

490
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:44,300
ones for praise is becoming to 
the upright, it's fitting for 

491
00:33:44,300 --> 00:33:46,700
the upright. 
It is beautiful. 

492
00:33:47,900 --> 00:33:51,400
For the upright, what makes the 
person beautiful? 

493
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,200
Their praise. 
You ever been around a 

494
00:33:56,208 --> 00:33:59,000
complainer? 
You're not very pretty. 

495
00:34:00,900 --> 00:34:04,800
Your medicine is bitter. 
They're not very beautiful. 

496
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,100
But should be around someone who
praises the Lord and glorify his

497
00:34:09,100 --> 00:34:10,800
name and lifts his name up on 
high. 

498
00:34:11,199 --> 00:34:14,100
That's a beautiful person. 
You want to be around that 

499
00:34:14,100 --> 00:34:16,699
person. 
You want to hang out with that 

500
00:34:16,699 --> 00:34:19,699
person? 
Because they see God in every 

501
00:34:19,699 --> 00:34:21,300
situation and every 
circumstance. 

502
00:34:23,699 --> 00:34:30,500
Praise is befitting be coming. 
Is beautiful. 

503
00:34:32,100 --> 00:34:37,500
For the upright. 
As you think about this week in 

504
00:34:37,900 --> 00:34:41,500
passion week in the sacrifice of
Christ outside the gate. 

505
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,000
And how he would bear the sins 
of the people. 

506
00:34:46,900 --> 00:34:49,500
In his body. 
He did that. 

507
00:34:49,500 --> 00:34:54,500
So that his sacrifice would 
allow you to be able to receive 

508
00:34:54,500 --> 00:34:57,400
the beauty of his, his gift of 
salvation. 

509
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,200
And she might be set free from 
your sin. 

510
00:35:01,700 --> 00:35:07,900
She might learn to praise him. 
And give yourself to him. and I 

511
00:35:07,900 --> 00:35:13,900
wonder how many of us today 
sitting here can actually say I 

512
00:35:13,900 --> 00:35:15,500
do want to be separate from the 
world. 

513
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,700
I don't want the world to 
control my mind and my, my 

514
00:35:20,700 --> 00:35:24,300
actions. 
I don't want to be controlled by

515
00:35:25,100 --> 00:35:30,600
a worldly system, that's 
narcissistic and is antagonistic

516
00:35:31,300 --> 00:35:36,900
toward my God. 
I want to stand firm for him. 

517
00:35:37,900 --> 00:35:41,900
Remember what Peter says the 
first Peter 4? 

518
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,000
Therefore, since Christ has 
suffered In the Flesh, which he 

519
00:35:47,008 --> 00:35:50,200
did arm yourselves also with the
same purpose. 

520
00:35:51,500 --> 00:35:55,600
Because he who has suffered In 
the Flesh has ceased from sin. 

521
00:35:56,500 --> 00:36:00,300
So as to live the rest of the 
time in the flesh, no longer for

522
00:36:00,300 --> 00:36:04,300
the lust of men, but for the 
will of God For the time already

523
00:36:04,300 --> 00:36:08,100
past is sufficient for you to 
have carried out the desire of 

524
00:36:08,100 --> 00:36:12,300
the Gentiles. 
Having pursued past tense, a 

525
00:36:12,300 --> 00:36:18,200
course of sensuality lusts, 
drunkenness carousing drinking 

526
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:22,600
parties and abominable 
idolatries and all this, they 

527
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:27,200
are surprised. 
That you do not run with them in

528
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:32,900
the Saint excess of dissipation.
And they malign you. 

529
00:36:34,700 --> 00:36:38,800
My testimony. 
What a testimony that the people

530
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,100
used to hang around with? 
The things you used to do with 

531
00:36:42,100 --> 00:36:44,600
them. 
You don't do anymore. 

532
00:36:46,300 --> 00:36:50,600
Why? 
Because of Christ's sacrifice on

533
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,400
the cross. 
And you gave your life to 

534
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:57,400
Christ. 
And your friends malign you. 

535
00:36:58,500 --> 00:37:01,500
And rightly. 
So, Because you went outside the

536
00:37:01,500 --> 00:37:05,600
gate. 
With outside the city outside 

537
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:09,000
the camp. 
You left the worldly system. 

538
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:16,400
You left a legalistic system? 
You left every human system in 

539
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:21,100
went to the Living. 
God, And gave your life to him. 

540
00:37:22,700 --> 00:37:24,600
And now your life is filled with
sacrifice. 

541
00:37:25,900 --> 00:37:29,800
Sacrifice of myself and all of 
my song and all of my substance 

542
00:37:30,500 --> 00:37:32,700
it's all about God, praising his
name. 

543
00:37:32,700 --> 00:37:36,000
Glorify his name returning, all 
glory to him, because you're 

544
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,100
consumed with his glory, not 
your own, your consumed, with 

545
00:37:39,100 --> 00:37:42,600
his sacrifice, your consumed, 
with his finished work on the 

546
00:37:42,607 --> 00:37:45,200
cross. 
You're consumed with his honor. 

547
00:37:46,300 --> 00:37:49,900
Now, your honor. 
It will cost you. 

548
00:37:51,500 --> 00:37:58,200
Maybe not right away. but if you
stay true to the Lord, And love 

549
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:02,300
him, unconditionally and serve 
him with a whole heart and a 

550
00:38:02,308 --> 00:38:06,600
ready mind. 
Those who are not into that. 

551
00:38:07,100 --> 00:38:08,100
Well, they're going to malign 
you. 

552
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:14,300
Now, what happened? 
but the good thing is, there's a

553
00:38:14,300 --> 00:38:17,800
city. 
A city in which you are a 

554
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,900
citizen of. 
You're going to citizen of 

555
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,600
America. 
Or California. 

556
00:38:25,700 --> 00:38:28,700
Or Los Angeles. 
You just live here. 

557
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:34,100
You have another citizenship. 
Your sister ships in glory. 

558
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,100
We are citizens of another 
country. 

559
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,900
We are truly aliens and 
strangers in a foreign land. 

560
00:38:42,700 --> 00:38:45,700
Do you act as if America's 
foreign land to you? 

561
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:53,000
You act as if the city you live 
in is a foreign city. 

562
00:38:54,100 --> 00:38:55,800
Because you don't speak the 
language of the people in the 

563
00:38:55,800 --> 00:39:00,800
city. 
You don't live the life of the 

564
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,700
people in the city. 
You know, the Life of Christ. 

565
00:39:06,100 --> 00:39:10,100
when people see you like, they 
would see anybody from another 

566
00:39:10,100 --> 00:39:17,100
country in this land of ours, 
they would see you as completely

567
00:39:17,100 --> 00:39:20,100
different Because the language 
you speak. 

568
00:39:21,500 --> 00:39:25,100
Not the language they speak. 
The life you live is not the 

569
00:39:25,100 --> 00:39:28,000
life, they live. 
Why? 

570
00:39:28,700 --> 00:39:34,300
Because you are a citizen of the
great city of God, you're a 

571
00:39:34,300 --> 00:39:39,700
child of the Living. 
God, Over the years, I told you 

572
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:44,400
umpteen times. 
My parents used to always say to

573
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:48,300
me, when I left the house, 
remember who you are? 

574
00:39:49,500 --> 00:39:53,500
And what you are. 
You're a child of the king? 

575
00:39:54,700 --> 00:39:59,100
Live like a child of the king. 
Dress like a child of the king 

576
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:04,300
speak like a child of the king. 
Because the king is watching. 

577
00:40:05,700 --> 00:40:08,100
I pray that would be us today. 
Let's pray together. 

578
00:40:09,500 --> 00:40:12,000
Father, we thank you Lord, for 
all you do. 

579
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,300
You are the king. 
The king of glory. 

580
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:22,800
I pray for everyone in the room.
The pull of the world is great. 

581
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:28,300
It's so strong. 
Parents trying to raise their 

582
00:40:28,300 --> 00:40:33,200
children today. 
Realizing that their friends are

583
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,700
of the world. 
And they pulled her children in 

584
00:40:36,700 --> 00:40:40,700
different directions. 
I pray that you give us 

585
00:40:40,700 --> 00:40:44,300
strength. 
And the grace we need to stand 

586
00:40:44,300 --> 00:40:49,000
strong when the precepts of your
word. to live for you and honor 

587
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:54,500
you to instruct our children in 
the ways of God, that they might

588
00:40:55,100 --> 00:41:00,400
perceive the city of God, Live 
with the motivation to honor and

589
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:04,400
glorify their God. 
I pray. 

590
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,400
Father for those in the room 
were struggling. 

591
00:41:07,700 --> 00:41:11,800
With the things of the world. 
That Lord, they would treat them

592
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:17,200
as if they're burned carcasses 
and want to separate themselves 

593
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,300
from any kind of reminder of 
their sin. 

594
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:26,500
Separate them. 
Then I live unto Christ and your

595
00:41:26,500 --> 00:41:30,100
glory. 
And Lord. 

596
00:41:30,500 --> 00:41:33,100
We always pray for those in our 
midst. 

597
00:41:33,100 --> 00:41:36,600
To do not know you. 
It could be any number of 

598
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,900
people, we don't know. 
Only, you know that? 

599
00:41:41,700 --> 00:41:45,200
And we pray and work for them. 
They realize you're need to go 

600
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,800
outside of the city of the camp 
of worldliness. 

601
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:53,300
Embrace Christ as their savior. 
Their Messiah, the deliverer. 

602
00:41:54,100 --> 00:41:56,000
The true God, the true and 
living God. 

603
00:41:57,300 --> 00:42:01,300
Then I live for you. 
In Jesus name, amen.
