1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,640 Welcome to the Rheem Sound Church of God podcast. 2 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,360 Wherever you're listening from, we hope you are blessed by 3 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,920 today's message. We're going to the Book of 4 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:13,560 Exodus chapter number. 12 and I would. 5 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,240 Like to begin reading here and then. 6 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,840 Skipping just a little and reading a bit more about this 7 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:26,840 Passover that took place and Acts of Exodus 12 verse 12 says 8 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:31,720 for I will pass. Through the land of Egypt on 9 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,400 that night and will. Strike all the 1st. 10 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,720 Born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast. 11 00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:39,920 And against all the gods. Of Egypt. 12 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,920 I will execute judgment. I am the Lord now, the blood. 13 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,680 Shall be assigned for you. On the houses. 14 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:54,160 Where you are. And when I see the blood, when I 15 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:55,600 see the. Blood. 16 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,520 Remember that old song? Christ our Redeemer died on the 17 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,720 cross, died for the Sinner, paid all it. 18 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,400 All. Who receive him need never. 19 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:10,000 Fear for He will pass will Passover you When I see the 20 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:16,040 blood, I will Passover. You and the plague shall not be 21 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,600 on. You to destroy you when I 22 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,600 strike. The land of Egypt. 23 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,520 Then we go down to verse #21 when? 24 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,400 Moses gives instructions, and Moses called for all the elders 25 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,760 of Israel and said to them, pick out and take lambs for 26 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,600 yourselves according to your families, and kill the Passover 27 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,320 lamb. And you shall take a. 28 00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:39,760 Bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and 29 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:45,160 strike the lentil and the two doorposts with the blood that is 30 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,720 in the. Basin and none of you. 31 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:54,960 None of you, none of you shall go out of the door of his house 32 00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:01,080 until morning. I want to speak today on this 33 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:06,280 thought. Stay under the blood, stay 34 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,840 under. The blood till morning comes. 35 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,880 Father in the name of. Jesus. 36 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,840 Lord, we've had a wonderful worship experience here. 37 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,560 And Lord, we've heard a message and an interpretation. 38 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,960 God that has assured us. Of your presence, God, and even 39 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,920 when things seem difficult, God, how great. 40 00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:28,280 And how mighty you are. And even the things. 41 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:33,760 That plagued us over a week. God now face the power of the 42 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,000 Holy Spirit. And never can win against God. 43 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,960 We just pray, Lord, now for the special anointing of your Spirit 44 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,400 on this message and on the communion that will follow. 45 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,480 Here for your glory and your honor, and we praise you for it 46 00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:53,240 in Jesus name, Amen. You may be seated. 2 weeks ago I 47 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,000 preached on losing an hour and last. 48 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,320 Week I preached on. On an invitation to an ARC 49 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,000 encounter. And both of those messages 50 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,280 toward the end begin to focus on the coming of Jesus. 51 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,840 And I want to do the same thing again today. 52 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,120 Interesting thing, a little side note to last week's message on 53 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,520 an invitation to an ARC encounter. 54 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,920 A little kind of humorous thing, but yet it was a blessing. 55 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,920 And that is I was standing at the door back there greeting 56 00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:26,880 people, and Kelsey Robbins came and was stood in front of me to 57 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:27,880 greet me. And she was. 58 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,920 She was. Grinning and sort of laughing 59 00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:32,280 and. She said, Pastor, I just want to 60 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,080 tell you the first time I came to this church, her mother, of 61 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,600 course, Tina had been after her to get her. 62 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,520 To come to. Church and so she finally. 63 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,360 Came to. Church to satisfy her mother and 64 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,680 she said you preached on Noah and the ark. 65 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,680 And she said I laughed. She said I sat there and laughed 66 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,640 and said that didn't happen. And she said this is reason I 67 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:53,880 don't even. Want to go to church? 68 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,480 Because of this kind of stuff. And she stood in front. 69 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,360 Of me and she said she said I'm. Laughing today for a different 70 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,640 reason. And you know what? 71 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,160 She's in the Ark. With us now, so praise God, it's 72 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,920 a holy laughter. Now, Kelsey. 73 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,320 And it was a little more with that story, but it blessed my 74 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,200 heart. And she laughed at me. 75 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,920 I thought, what? You laughed at me, She laughed 76 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,160 at me. And she's still living. 77 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,880 No, just kidding about that. But but it was serious, she 78 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,280 said. That didn't happen. 79 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,200 But thank God, what the blood of Jesus Christ. 80 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,840 Can do. For each and every one of us, 81 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,920 this is. The writings and of. 82 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,920 Course these five first. Books of the Bible, The 83 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,920 Pentateuch, can we hear? Moses and the Bible speaks of 84 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:43,760 Moses in Hebrews 11/28 and says by faith he kept the Passover 85 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,880 and the sprinkling of blood lest. 86 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,040 He who? Destroyed. 87 00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:49,200 The first born should touch them. 88 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,240 And we know that there were somewhere, it was over 400 years 89 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,760 that they were in Egypt, but the children of Israel were for 90 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,840 hundreds of years they were slaves. 91 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,960 They were in bondage. And there was all kinds of 92 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,800 attempts to get them out of that captivity and bondage. 93 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,520 And none of them worked. And even when God used Moses to 94 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,920 bring plagues on the land, there were 9 plagues that did not 95 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,440 work. There was. 96 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,160 Water turned to blood. There were frogs in the land, 97 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,000 there were lice, there were flies, there was disease, 98 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,040 livestock, there were boils on their bodies. 99 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:31,480 Locusts covered the. Land Darkness 9 Plagues and none 100 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:36,040 of them brought deliverance. It took the 10th one which 101 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,800 involved the blood of the lamb in our In other words, to become 102 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,280 free from captivity. It took the blood of the lamb. 103 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,840 Can I say to you today that it still takes the blood of the 104 00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:51,920 Lamb? Not one of those of that day, 105 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:56,120 but John said in chapter 1 and verse 29 of his Gospel. 106 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,240 He said the next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and 107 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:05,360 said, Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the 108 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,160 world. So as it took the blood of the 109 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,040 Lamb, then it takes the blood of the Lamb. 110 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,760 Now first Peter 118 says, knowing that you were not 111 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:19,840 redeemed with corruptible things like silver or gold from your 112 00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:23,480 aimless conduct received by tradition from your Father's, 113 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:28,000 but with the precious blood of Christ as of a Lamb without 114 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,360 blemish and without spot. As the old song says, there is 115 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:37,640 power, power, wonder, working power in the blood of the lamb. 116 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:42,440 There is power, power, wonder, working power in the precious 117 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:47,440 blood of the Lamb. And there's still power today in 118 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:52,040 the blood of the Lamb of God and the only way we ever find 119 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,320 forgiveness and redemption. And we sing about it earlier and 120 00:06:55,320 --> 00:07:00,000 we'll sing about it again. The blood of Jesus paid the 121 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,280 eternal price for the redemption of our souls. 122 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:08,160 In fact, it was actually during the celebration of this event, 123 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:13,080 Passover, hundreds of years later, that Jesus instituted 124 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,640 what you and I are going to do today in taking the Lord's 125 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,560 Supper. Listen to what it says in 126 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:24,360 Matthew 26, verse 26. And as they were eating, Jesus 127 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,480 took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the 128 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,960 disciples, and said, take, eat this. 129 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,480 This is my body. Then he took the cup and gave 130 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,920 thanks and gave it to them, saying, Drink from it, all of 131 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,640 you, for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for 132 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,800 many for the remission of sins. But I say to you, notice what 133 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,960 comes next. He said, I say to you, I will 134 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:54,560 not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day 135 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,680 when I drink it. New with you? 136 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,320 In my father's Kingdom. So Jesus said that even the the 137 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:06,280 Lord's Supper, even the bread, even the, the wine, the juice, 138 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,560 those elements that we take, he said, they not only remind you 139 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,520 of what I will do for you on the cross, but they also remind you 140 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,160 that I'm coming again. And when I come again for the 141 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,680 first time, I'll have this meal again with you, but not until I 142 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,400 come again and we're in the Father's Kingdom. 143 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,120 Are you looking forward to it? The next great I said. 144 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,559 The next great Lord's Supper is going to take place around the 145 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,320 marriage Supper of the Lamb and the Table of Glory. 146 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:41,320 Can you give him praise? In the House of the Lord, but 147 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,679 He. Also said to them that. 148 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,440 This event will mark. A brand new day for you. 149 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:52,520 In fact, he says in Exodus chapter 12/2, he says this month 150 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,480 shall be your beginning of months, it shall be the first 151 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,800 month of the year to you speak to all the congregation of 152 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,560 Israel, telling them or saying on the 10th of this month every 153 00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:08,640 man take for himself a lamb according to the House of his 154 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:13,640 father, a lamb for a household. He said on this occasion, when 155 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,800 this takes place, everything becomes new. 156 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,480 You start, it's the beginning of a new year. 157 00:09:20,680 --> 00:09:24,600 How many are glad to know that when the blood is applied to our 158 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,320 hearts and life, everything starts over. 159 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,120 We get a new life. The Bible says we are born 160 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,720 again. We're born of the Spirit of God 161 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,600 and the water of heaven. We are born again, people of God 162 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,080 and all begins new. Paul said that all things pass 163 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:45,800 away and everything becomes new. Our whole life becomes brand new 164 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,640 when the blood is applied to our hearts and lies. 165 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,320 And I want you to notice that every house was included. 166 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,080 It's interesting there that in that verse he said speak to all 167 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:01,200 the congregation of the Israelites, the all the 168 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,640 congregations. Now there were many families, 169 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,600 right? There were many homes. 170 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,440 There were lots of them. There were there were maybe 171 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,520 1,000,000 1/2 or even up to 2 million of them. 172 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,320 So there were lots of houses, but he said I speak this to the 173 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:21,000 congregation. So every house put together made 174 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,720 the congregation of the House of Israel. 175 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,720 Brothers and sisters, you come here as individuals and you will 176 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,680 take this this cup and you will take this bread and you will 177 00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:34,680 take it as an individual. But you are part of the 178 00:10:34,680 --> 00:10:37,720 congregation. You are a part of the church. 179 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,800 You are related to your brother and your sister. 180 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,240 And it's this blood of Jesus Christ represented in this 181 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,880 little cup that made you one. And now you're my brother. 182 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,640 You're my sister and. I'm yours whether you like. 183 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:57,520 It or not I was here to notice though. 184 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,480 For this to take place, the Bible said the Lamb had to be 185 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,560 without. Blemish and the Lamb had to be 186 00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:10,480 slain living. The lamb could not save. 187 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:19,120 But dying the lamb could save the lamb alive the blameless. 188 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,680 Lamb. The one that they picked out of 189 00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:23,280 the flock. The one that was so. 190 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:28,000 Perfect. Couldn't do anything for anyone. 191 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:36,320 Alive but when the lamb. Died could save first 192 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,960 Corinthians 15 three, Paul said. I delivered to you first of all, 193 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,120 that which I. Also received. 194 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:53,440 That Christ died Christ died for our sins, according to. 195 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:59,400 The scriptures, he also says in First Corinthians 57, Therefore 196 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,360 purge out the old leaven that. You may be a new. 197 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,440 Lump, since you truly are unleavened for indeed Christ. 198 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,920 And what does he call him? Our Passover? 199 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:16,400 He goes back to Exodus 12. He goes back to that time and 200 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,680 says there was a Passover and there was a blemish, spotless 201 00:12:20,680 --> 00:12:24,800 lamb sacrifice. And that lamb, the blood had to 202 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,600 be shed. That lamb had to die. 203 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:32,760 And now Christ, he's our Passover and he was sacrificed 204 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,280 for us. You know, there are people in 205 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:39,240 our world, lots of them, that will say, oh, we think Jesus was 206 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,120 a great teacher. We like the things he taught, 207 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,040 like the lessons that he gave people. 208 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,920 We like the things he did, but they don't want anything to do 209 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,400 with the cross. But my brother and sister, the 210 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:55,160 only way Jesus could ever save anybody was to go to the cross 211 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,760 of Calvary. The cross is still the central 212 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,160 message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 213 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,880 Don't ever forget it. You could not have been saved by 214 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,160 the good teaching of Jesus or the good life of Jesus, but you 215 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,160 could be saved by his death and the shedding of his blood on the 216 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,160 cross of Calvary. Are you thankful for that today? 217 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,320 And it was not enough even that the blood was shed. 218 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,160 It had to be. Applied. 219 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,760 The blood had to be applied. Jesus shed his blood on the 220 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,760 cross, but it has to be applied by faith. 221 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,640 Jesus. When we get saved, when we ask 222 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,560 Christ to come into our heart in a spiritual sense, Jesus 223 00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:39,640 sprinkled our hearts with his own blood. 224 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,800 We receive the benefits of Calvary's cross. 225 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,520 It's not a physical sprinkling, It's not somebody standing up 226 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,560 with a little sprinkler, But what it is, it's a faith 227 00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:53,160 transaction where the blood of Jesus Christ that was shed on 228 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,680 the cross is sprinkled on our conscience, sprinkled on our 229 00:13:56,680 --> 00:14:00,600 heart so that we can be forgiven of all our sins and have have a 230 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,800 brand new life. Have you been sprinkled with the 231 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,480 blood of Jesus? Have you been covered by the 232 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,160 blood of the Lamb? Have you been covered? 233 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,160 And then? The Bible says that blood. 234 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,000 Had to be applied. It had to be applied. 235 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,920 Tom, do me a favor. Go over there to that door, if 236 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,400 you will. That's either one of them side 237 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:25,560 door, that one. Either one. 238 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,240 OK, so the Bible says. That that. 239 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:36,200 Blood was shed that. Blood was sprinkled on the. 240 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,400 Lentil. Where's the lentil, Tom? 241 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,320 OK, so the lentil. And it said also. 242 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,360 On the side post right? Show them the side post. 243 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,960 OK, so if anybody doesn't. Know what a lentil is? 244 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,000 He knows a lentil. Is that top right? 245 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,480 That top piece and the side post? 246 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,280 Thank you. Where is the one place the blood 247 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:02,040 was not sprinkled on the bottom on the floor? 248 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,680 Why? Because you never you never, you 249 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,880 never walk on the. Blood you honor. 250 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,920 The blood of Jesus Christ, you have covering by the blood of 251 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,920 Jesus, but it's far too precious. 252 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,720 And so you don't put blood on the floor, you put blood on the 253 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,440 top and the sides because the blood of Jesus is the holy 254 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,320 blood. It is a sanctifying, saving 255 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,360 blood. They're people today that are 256 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,960 walking on the blood of Jesus. Jesus today to their own hurt 257 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,440 folks, honor the blood, give God thanks for the blood, be 258 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:40,280 thankful that blood of Jesus has shed, but never, never walk on 259 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,920 the blood of the Lord Jesus. It is too precious for that. 260 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,280 The instructions were also given that not only was the blood to 261 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,320 be sprinkled, but the lamb was to be eaten. 262 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:59,120 The lamb that was what was slain had to be eaten. 263 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,560 And the Bible gave specific instructions. 264 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:06,880 The whole of the lamb, the whole lamb, it was not to be boiled in 265 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,080 water. It was to be roast in fire so 266 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,720 that it could remain because all of the lamb had to be consumed. 267 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,840 In other words, everything about the lamb, everything about the 268 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,280 lamb. And when we think about that and 269 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:24,000 we think of Jesus being the Lamb of God, folks, we need to feed 270 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,400 on Jesus everyday. I said we need to feed on Jesus, 271 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,040 the whole lamb, not just the part we like, but all of the 272 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,280 Lamb, all of the Lamb. Everything about Jesus, we need 273 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,480 to be feeding on it. Because He's His word is His 274 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:44,440 self and Himself is the very food that we need in our lives, 275 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:49,600 not just what we like. We take His yoke and we feed on 276 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,920 it. We take His cross and we feed on 277 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,240 it. And one day we'll take His crown 278 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,200 and we'll feed on it. Thank God. 279 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,360 Thank God for Jesus today. Amen. 280 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,520 Hallelujah. Then he said when you eat it, 281 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,200 you eat it with bitter herbs. And bitter herbs were obviously 282 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,079 a. Reminder. 283 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,599 Reminder of the bitterness. That they went through. 284 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,680 In Egypt, the. Hard times they went through. 285 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,760 How many know? That Jesus tells us that if we 286 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,079 live godly for him, we will suffer some persecution. 287 00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:26,079 There'll be some hard situations that come and you may go through 288 00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:30,000 some bitter experiences, but thank God, thank God they won't 289 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,200 last forever. Do you hear what I'm saying? 290 00:17:32,360 --> 00:17:34,520 They're just a reminder of where we were. 291 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,000 But thank God, we've been saved by the blood. 292 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,560 We've got royal blood flowing in our spiritual veins today. 293 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,160 We've got a new name and glory. Hallelujah. 294 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,240 We've got a home with the Master, the Savior Church. 295 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:50,160 We can rejoice because everything good that God could 296 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,520 possibly give us. Comes through the power of the 297 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:57,680 cross, then he even. Instructed them how to go about 298 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,200 this meal. How do you eat a meal like that? 299 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:07,000 Strange command, verse 11. Of that same chapter 12 says 300 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,800 thus. Shall you eat it with a? 301 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,600 Belt on your waist. And your sandals on your. 302 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:18,680 Feet and your staff in your. Hand, so you shall eat it in 303 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,360 haste. It is the Lord's. 304 00:18:20,360 --> 00:18:22,200 Passover, and I think most of you. 305 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,840 Probably realize in that day they they wore long robes. 306 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,000 They wore long robes and so. The belt was like what they used 307 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,400 to gird it up and so when you got ready to walk, when you got 308 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:35,800 ready. To go somewhere you didn't. 309 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,600 Let your robe flow, but you tied it up so your legs would have 310 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,000 mobility. And so God is giving them, he's 311 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,840 giving them instructions and and he says, I, I want you to be 312 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,600 ready. I want you to be ready because 313 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,400 your deliverance is coming and I want you to be ready. 314 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,200 I want you to be able to leave when the time comes. 315 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,800 I don't want any delay. So he said when you eat this 316 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,440 meal, think about it, because those people in that day didn't 317 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,960 eat like we do. As we know in Bible times that 318 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,240 was. Reclining at. 319 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,280 At, at A, at a lower level table and people would, would sort of 320 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,560 lay on their sides or whatever and, and sort of get up to the 321 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,000 table. He, but he tells them like these 322 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,480 stand up tables that you go to in some of these restaurants 323 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:21,440 today, it's you go to the stand up table and you keep your 324 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,040 sandals on because in that day, again, wearing those sandals, 325 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,920 they would take them off and their feet would be washed and 326 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,800 so they'd be barefoot. He said, I don't want you to be 327 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:31,960 barefoot. I want you to have your robe on. 328 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,800 I want you to have that thing tucked in and I want you to have 329 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,520 your shoes on your feet. I want you to be ready get your 330 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,160 staff in your hand because I'm bringing you out and when I 331 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,160 bring you out out. I want you to be ready. 332 00:19:44,360 --> 00:19:48,040 I want time is running out. He's what God is saying this is 333 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,040 about to happen and I'm going to call you out of bondage. 334 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,240 Brothers and sisters, can I say something to you spiritually 335 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:59,280 today and that is I'll continue the same practice spiritually 336 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,800 speaking, always be ready, be ready. 337 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,760 Have your loins girded with truth. 338 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,960 Amen. Have on the breastplate of 339 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,640 righteousness. Have your feet shod with the 340 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,920 preparation of the gospel of peace and be ready to leave 341 00:20:12,120 --> 00:20:13,800 because Jesus. Jesus is going to call his 342 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,240 church. I said Jesus is going to call 343 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,120 his church. And you don't want to have to 344 00:20:18,120 --> 00:20:20,720 start getting ready then. You want to be ready. 345 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,480 So when the Lord calls, when the trumpet sounds, you're ready to 346 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,320 go. Are you ready to go? 347 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:32,280 Today, Amen. He said I want you to be ready 348 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,360 to leave at a moment's notice. That's not very comfortable to 349 00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:37,280 think that way, that. You're to eat. 350 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,520 You got to have this me. You've got to have a staff at 351 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,200 your hand, shoes on your feet, and you're ready like you're 352 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,240 ready to. Run and you're. 353 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,840 Kind of gobbling your food like your mom told you not to. 354 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:49,400 Because. He wants you to be. 355 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,440 Ready, he said, to leave at a moment's notice. 356 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:59,840 But here's my main point in this message today, and it's found in 357 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:04,000 verse 22. And you shall take a bunch of 358 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:10,880 hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the 359 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:16,400 lentil that you saw, the two doorposts with the blood that is 360 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:22,320 in the basin. And none of you shall go out of 361 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,720 the door of his house until morning. 362 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:36,480 Don't go out until morning. The Hebrew root word for 363 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:40,840 Passover means to skip. To skip. 364 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:46,840 So God is saying when I see the blood I will the death Angel, 365 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,840 the Angel of death, or however you want to phrase that will 366 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,640 skip over your house. How many want to be skipped 367 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,320 over? He said. 368 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,600 But but what what I've got to have you do is I've got to have 369 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,600 you apply the blood and you've got to strike. 370 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,280 The lentil in the 2. Doorposts. 371 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,640 And then you stay in that house. Don't you go out. 372 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,440 I don't care who's at the door once you eat that evening meal, 373 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,000 because it's going to be at midnight when this death 374 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,960 presence comes through the land. It's going to be at midnight. 375 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:25,880 But from the time you eat that meal till the next morning, you 376 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:31,640 don't leave your house. You stay covered by the blood. 377 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,600 Because if you go out that door, you're no longer covered by the 378 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,120 blood. I want you to understand that as 379 00:22:40,120 --> 00:22:42,760 long as the blood was left in the basin. 380 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:50,000 It was of no effect, no effect. It was merely blood that had 381 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:55,200 been shed. The blood had power to save only 382 00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:00,120 when it was lifted out of the basin and sprinkled. 383 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:07,080 There was no salvation just because the lamb died. 384 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,880 There was only salvation when the blood of the lamb was 385 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,960 applied. There's a Jewish story or a 386 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,000 legend. And we'll say. 387 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,040 It's a parable because there's don't know that it happened or 388 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,040 not. But if you take. 389 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:29,480 It as a as a parable of of a. Girl, the oldest in the family, 390 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,680 because that's what the. Bible said that when this. 391 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,080 Angel of death would come through the oldest, the first 392 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,080 born in the house would die and this little girl was was sick 393 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,640 and wasn't feeling well and and she was worried because she was 394 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,080 the first born in the family. And she said to her dad, she 395 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,560 said had has the blood been applied to the door? 396 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,040 I heard that we had to have the blood applied or the first one 397 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,320 would die. And she and he said to her, 398 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,400 honey, it's taken care of. I had one of my top people in my 399 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,800 one of my servants, top servant take care of that. 400 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:01,680 You don't have to worry about it. 401 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,480 But she did, and she kept worrying about it, and she'd go 402 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,040 back to dad again, call him in the. 403 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:10,200 Room and Dad are you? Sure that the blood is I said my 404 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,680 servant would never dishonor me by not doing what I said. 405 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:14,960 You don't have to worry about it. 406 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,440 And finally she said, would you? Would you carry? 407 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,640 Me out. Dad and and and carry me out to 408 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,200 the door and so that I can. See with my own. 409 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,960 Eyes that the blood is there and he said OK I'll do that and he. 410 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,720 As he carried her out. Opened the door, he looked and 411 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:34,600 the blood was not there, was not there and quickly he took the 412 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,760 basin himself and took the the the bunch of. 413 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,120 Hyssop and began to. Sprinkle the lentil and the 414 00:24:40,120 --> 00:24:46,080 doorpost just before midnight. Now whether that happened or 415 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,880 not, you can see the spiritual principle that we can't trust 416 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:56,400 anybody else if you. Thinking mom's going to save 417 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:57,200 you? You've got it. 418 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,680 Wrong. You think? 419 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,520 Well, Dad's praying for me, so I'm OK. 420 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,400 No, you're not. Now, I'm glad Dad is praying for 421 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,160 you, but it's your salvation at stake. 422 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:12,120 Amen. Before their deliverance, Before 423 00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:15,880 anything would happen, they went through all kinds of 424 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,720 difficulties and trials and anger and wrath. 425 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,040 But remember, as a child of God, you're not appointed to wrath. 426 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,160 That's good news. Paul says in first. 427 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:32,440 Thessalonians 59 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to 428 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,640 obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. 429 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,240 Does that not make you feel better? 430 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,880 That you that's you're not, you're not? 431 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,200 Facing the wrath of God. You don't. 432 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:45,840 Want to face the? Wrath of God. 433 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,040 And the Angel of death that came through only knew sin. 434 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,760 That's all the Angel knew. So when that Angel came through, 435 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,840 as long as there was, there was sin. 436 00:25:56,120 --> 00:25:58,360 There's going to be. Death as long as there's. 437 00:25:58,360 --> 00:25:59,760 Sin. How many know that death is a 438 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,400 result of sin? The Bible said when sin is 439 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:03,960 finished. It brings forth death. 440 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,480 So where there was sin, there was. 441 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,800 So this presence of death goes through. 442 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,640 The only thing it knows is that wherever there's sin, there's 443 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,560 got to be death. But when you come. 444 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,720 To a place. When you come to a house and you 445 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:22,360 see that that house has the blood of the lamb on its lentil 446 00:26:22,360 --> 00:26:27,320 and doorpost, don't you dare touch anyone inside that house 447 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:32,280 because someone paid for the price of the sin of the lives on 448 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,000 the inside. Something has been done, 449 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,920 something has happened, and there is no room for death now 450 00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:43,240 because I have forgiven that sin and you won't touch it. 451 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,520 Amen. The only difference is the 452 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,000 covering of the blood of the lamb. 453 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,320 Aren't you glad you're covered today? 454 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,640 Let me finish this. Message that slain Lamb. 455 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:06,560 Paid the debt, took the. Place of the person inside. 456 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,760 Because there was only one. That was supposed to. 457 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,920 Die and it was the first born, but when the Angel, the death 458 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:18,320 Angel, or whatever death presence you want to say, looked 459 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,920 at that blood, it said. The judgment's already been 460 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,800 executed on this House. Somebody's already. 461 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:28,440 Died for this sin. Remember when I see the blood, 462 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,440 when I see the blood, I will pass over you. 463 00:27:34,360 --> 00:27:38,920 Somebody has already or something has already died, and 464 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,720 so I see that. There's nothing for me to do 465 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:42,800 here. Because. 466 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:47,000 Someone, something has already paid. 467 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,800 The price with blood and has already died there's no use to 468 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,160 have death here because death already happened here but it 469 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,600 wasn't your death, it was his death. 470 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,800 Jesus on the cross. It was the Lamb of God 2000 471 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,360 years ago folks, he took my place. 472 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,440 He took your place. He is a God that is full of 473 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,440 mercy and grace and love and cares enough about every one of 474 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:17,040 us that He paid the price. In fact, can I tell you this? 475 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:21,640 Instead of you being condemned, he was condemned and Jesus was 476 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,720 condemned for your sin. So you don't have to be. 477 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,200 He took it all. Give Him praise before. 478 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:37,200 I have a fit here. Hallelujah, full of love and. 479 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,880 Mercy. God is so full of love and 480 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:40,640 mercy. He doesn't. 481 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,840 He doesn't condemn us, He redeems. 482 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,240 Us because he was condemned for us. 483 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,680 That's a hard pill to swallow. Jesus was condemned. 484 00:28:52,080 --> 00:29:00,760 It was famous Scripture. You've heard it once or twice. 485 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:07,960 Think about it. John 316 For God so love the 486 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,560 world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever 487 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,280 believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting 488 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:16,880 life, for God did not. Send. 489 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,080 His son into the world. To condemn the world. 490 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:26,720 But that the world through. Him might be. 491 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:33,800 Saved He desires. Let me say it. 492 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:38,640 This way His desire is not to condemn us for our sins. 493 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:44,600 But to condemn our sins for us, let me say it again. 494 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,360 He does not desire. To condemn. 495 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,440 US. For our sins. 496 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,840 He. Desires to condemn our sins for 497 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,600 us. Separate the sin from us. 498 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,680 He is willing. To do that. 499 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,880 Instead of condemning us. Condemn. 500 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:07,840 The sin and verse 18 says. He who believes in Him is not 501 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,360 condemned. Why? 502 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,520 Because Christ was already condemned. 503 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:19,800 But he who does not believe. Is condemned already because he 504 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:25,400 is not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 505 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,800 You know if you have received Jesus Christ as your personal 506 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:34,680 Savior, you have His blood on the doorpost of your heart, and 507 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:39,440 you can look confidently to a wonderful future that God has 508 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,720 for you. But I give you this final word, 509 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:54,200 stay under the blood till the morning comes. 510 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,520 Simple command, everything is done. 511 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,200 Just stay under the covering of the blood. 512 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:06,320 The enemy can't touch you there. You're safe. 513 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:11,120 Don't go out. I don't care what party you're 514 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,200 being invited to. God said stay under the blood. 515 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,760 I don't care what salesman's got a something for you to look at 516 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,040 out there. Don't go out for you don't want 517 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,360 to do that. Follow me, right? 518 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,000 Yeah, but I got a. Chance at this hot date? 519 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,160 After dinner tonight, you better. 520 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,600 Leave the hot date alone. And you better stay under the 521 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,240 blood. Stay. 522 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,560 If you're going on a date, do it before supper. 523 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,160 Because once you get that blood covering, you ain't going 524 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,560 nowhere you. Staying under the blood. 525 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:47,040 The only safe place in the world is to be covered by the blood of 526 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,040 Jesus Christ, because all they can take. 527 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:50,760 From you, then is your earthly. Life. 528 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,520 But you have an eternal life with God in the heavens. 529 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,240 There's a new body without. Oh, without. 530 00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:01,600 Suffering or pain or anything. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 531 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,840 So stay. Under the blood, stay in. 532 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:08,120 That that house, there's a New Testament principle there as 533 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:13,400 well, and that one is in John 15 when Jesus said what he gave the 534 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,240 parable of the vine and the branches of the allegory, he 535 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:20,960 said in John. 15-4 Abide in me. And I in you. 536 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,800 As a branch cannot bear. Fruit of itself unless it abides 537 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,200 in the vine. Neither can you, unless you 538 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,640 abide in me. I am the vine. 539 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,320 Who's the vine? And he said, who's the? 540 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,960 Branches. You and I are the branches. 541 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,200 And he who abides in me. And I in him. 542 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,720 Bears much fruit for without. Me, you can do nothing. 543 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,480 And if anyone. Does not abide in me. 544 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,080 Does not stay in me. He's cast out. 545 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,960 As a branch is withered and they gather them, throw them into the 546 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,240 fire, and they burn the only listen. 547 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,680 I'm going to get very simple. It's so simple. 548 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,320 Stay in the house under the blood. 549 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,680 Stay covered. And abide in the vine. 550 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,960 And what does that mean? Well, first of all, the vine 551 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,040 that bears fruit, the branches don't. 552 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,440 The branches have the fruit on them, but the strength comes 553 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,920 from the vine, right? Not the branches. 554 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,680 The branches can do nothing on their own. 555 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,120 Cut them off. They do nothing. 556 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,600 But if you. Stay in the vine. 557 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,840 That's all that's required. Just stay connected to Jesus. 558 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,200 Did you hear me? I want to simplify everything 559 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,640 for every believer. In here you're you're, you're. 560 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:40,320 Number one really your only. Challenge is just to stay in the 561 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:44,280 vine. Don't get disconnected, don't 562 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,520 walk away. Just stay in the vine. 563 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,280 Stay in Jesus because everything you need is in. 564 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,480 Jesus. I said just stay in the. 565 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,800 Vine you want. How, how do I, how do I live 566 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,960 this Christian life? Stay in the vine. 567 00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,080 Stay connected to him. Don't let anybody talk you out 568 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,520 of the house. Don't let anybody chop your limb 569 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,000 off. Just stay there. 570 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,840 Just say, God, I'm going to serve you. 571 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,480 I don't care if I go through good, bad or indifferent. 572 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,760 I'm going to serve you good, bad and ugly. 573 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,480 I'm serving you. I'm stuck on Jesus and Jesus is 574 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,560 stuck on me. I'm in the vine. 575 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,560 I'm a branch and everything I need, He's got it. 576 00:34:19,679 --> 00:34:25,320 He's got everything. Everything that I need so. 577 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:29,920 Stay under the. Blood and then the last 578 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:39,440 scripture that would you come. Hebrews chapter 3 Beware 579 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:44,800 brethren, verse 12 Hebrews 3 Beware, brethren, lest there be 580 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,760 in any of you an evil heart of do you have that Scripture? 581 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:51,960 There you go. I want you to see it. 582 00:34:52,159 --> 00:34:55,480 Beware brethren, lest there be an any of you, an evil heart. 583 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,760 And first of all, he said brethren, so he's not talking to 584 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,640 the world, lest there be an any of you, an evil heart of 585 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,080 unbelief in departing from the living God. 586 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:11,040 But exhort one another daily while it is called today, lest 587 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,360 any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 588 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,520 For we've become partakers of Christ. 589 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:24,920 We have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning 590 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,440 of our confidence steadfast to the end. 591 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:34,520 It's all about abiding. Just Pastor, you're making me 592 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:35,760 nervous. You don't need to be nervous. 593 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:40,960 Just stay in Jesus. But whether or not, I don't know 594 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,480 where everybody's theology is on this, but I'm going to tell what 595 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:48,320 the Bible teaches here, OK? Because I know too many people 596 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:53,720 in my lifetime and in my pastoral role here even who were 597 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:58,600 but are not now. They were, but they aren't. 598 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,680 They got detached. Something drew them away. 599 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,440 I don't mean a church, I don't mean that at all, but the world 600 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:14,080 somehow going out from under the covering of the blood no longer. 601 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,320 And he said if if you don't abide in me, he said, you're 602 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,520 like. A branch that's withered, and I 603 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,800 don't really think that's. So much to talk about eternal 604 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:21,600 fire. Just saying you're. 605 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,200 You're basically worthless. You just. 606 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,720 Throw them on a throw them on a heap and burn them out because 607 00:36:25,720 --> 00:36:27,840 it's they're not any good because they're not connected. 608 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,280 You want to stay connected to Jesus. 609 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,960 That's it. You don't need to be connected 610 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,640 to me, but you need to be connected to Jesus. 611 00:36:36,240 --> 00:36:40,080 And that needs to mean more to you than anything else I said 612 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,280 that needs to mean. More to you than anything. 613 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,880 Else in your world that you stay connected to Jesus Christ for 614 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,760 us. He's coming and you stay under 615 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,240 the covering of the blood of the Lamb. 616 00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,640 Amen. Bow your heads with me. 617 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,800 I want to 1st give an opportunity here this morning. 618 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:06,800 I trust that this message is spoken to you in some way to 619 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:12,160 help you realize all of us without Christ or under 620 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,360 condemnation. See that even though that this. 621 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,720 Curse of Death came on. Egypt. 622 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,720 It applied to those people living in Goshen. 623 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:26,960 Even the people of God had to follow what God said. 624 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,680 That's the only the only thing that really made any difference 625 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,920 that night was the blood applied. 626 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,960 And so when we sit here today, there's no difference in any of 627 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,360 us. None of us are better than the 628 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,640 other. Give me a break. 629 00:37:42,240 --> 00:37:46,480 None of us are. Only difference is if we're 630 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:51,200 covered by the blood of Jesus and our sins have been forgiven 631 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,400 because of that.
