356: Peter King – Exhortation: The Last Supper in the Gospel of John

1
00:00:03,920 –> 00:00:05,400
Welcome to good Christophian
talks.

2
00:00:05,440 –> 00:00:07,000
I’m Levi.
I’m Chris.

3
00:00:07,120 –> 00:00:09,400
I’m Jason.
And I’m Brian, thank you for

4
00:00:09,400 –> 00:00:12,560
joining us this week.
On this podcast, we select one

5
00:00:12,560 –> 00:00:16,400
talk a week to help us get the
Bible in our Daily News feed.

6
00:00:17,280 –> 00:00:19,520
Each week we post a talk.
That we previewed.

7
00:00:19,520 –> 00:00:22,400
From suggestions sent in by
listeners from around the world.

8
00:00:22,720 –> 00:00:26,040
Then we record a short intro
beforehand as a personalized

9
00:00:26,040 –> 00:00:28,840
recommendation to you on why we
are sharing the talk.

10
00:00:29,400 –> 00:00:31,720
And now let’s talk more about
this week’s talk.

11
00:00:44,330 –> 00:00:47,690
Hello everyone, this is Brother
Chris back with another talk to

12
00:00:47,690 –> 00:00:50,370
share this week.
For this week, we’re listening

13
00:00:50,370 –> 00:00:53,290
to an exhortation that was given
by Brother Peter King at the

14
00:00:53,290 –> 00:00:57,290
2005 Idlewild Bible School.
The title of his exhortation is

15
00:00:57,290 –> 00:00:59,890
The Last Supper in the Gospel of
John.

16
00:01:00,970 –> 00:01:05,920
Now Brother Peter’s talks are
always have a really interesting

17
00:01:05,920 –> 00:01:08,720
way of looking into Scripture.
This is no different than that

18
00:01:08,720 –> 00:01:13,320
connecting different ideas and
looking at kind of a unique way

19
00:01:13,320 –> 00:01:15,840
of viewing the Last Supper in
the Gospel of John.

20
00:01:15,840 –> 00:01:21,960
Instead, he tends to pick pieces
from the gospel on how the story

21
00:01:21,960 –> 00:01:24,680
of the Last Supper was outlined
there in different ways.

22
00:01:25,080 –> 00:01:28,280
And as a result, I always have
found it interesting looking at

23
00:01:28,280 –> 00:01:31,720
the story of the Last Supper in
the Gospel of John in similar

24
00:01:31,720 –> 00:01:33,200
passages.
And that was part of what drew

25
00:01:33,200 –> 00:01:35,640
me to this exhortation when I
digitized the tape.

26
00:01:36,720 –> 00:01:42,040
So it has a very different way
of looking at the Last Supper

27
00:01:42,040 –> 00:01:45,640
that is both reflective and also
kind of pulls in different

28
00:01:45,640 –> 00:01:48,960
meanings and a different way of
looking at the memorial emblems.

29
00:01:49,560 –> 00:01:52,880
So I don’t want to give too much
away because Brother Peter does

30
00:01:52,880 –> 00:01:55,680
a fantastic job about this, but
I thought it would be something

31
00:01:55,680 –> 00:01:58,320
really interesting for you to go
through and listen to.

32
00:01:59,040 –> 00:02:00,920
You will have something new to
think about.

33
00:02:01,320 –> 00:02:04,680
So I hope that this talk
encourages you on your walk and

34
00:02:04,680 –> 00:02:06,600
gives you something to think
about through the coming week.

35
00:02:07,080 –> 00:02:10,280
So now I’ll turn it over to
Brother Peter King for his

36
00:02:10,280 –> 00:02:14,560
exhortation from Idlewild in
2005 entitled The Last Supper in

37
00:02:14,560 –> 00:02:18,640
the Gospel of John.
All of the Gospel writers bring

38
00:02:18,640 –> 00:02:20,280
us to the breaking of bread
service.

39
00:02:22,000 –> 00:02:26,240
The Synoptics do so almost
identically, perhaps with

40
00:02:26,240 –> 00:02:30,400
Matthew giving us the lead which
are presiding brethren, you so

41
00:02:30,400 –> 00:02:32,160
very often.
We’ll read it tomorrow.

42
00:02:32,680 –> 00:02:35,400
Easy to remember Matthew 26,
verse 26.

43
00:02:37,880 –> 00:02:40,520
But this evening I just want to
have a few words with you,

44
00:02:40,520 –> 00:02:45,040
please, about John’s
introduction to the breaking of

45
00:02:45,040 –> 00:02:48,320
bread service.
It’s scattered really over many

46
00:02:48,320 –> 00:02:53,960
chapters, and it begins with the
discourse of the Lord Jesus

47
00:02:53,960 –> 00:02:59,880
Christ, with the disciples and
with some of those people who we

48
00:02:59,880 –> 00:03:05,400
now call his enemies because
he’s provided bread for them.

49
00:03:05,400 –> 00:03:11,120
And they come back for more.
And Jesus says, verily, verily,

50
00:03:11,120 –> 00:03:15,480
I say unto you, you seek me, not
because you saw the miracle, but

51
00:03:15,480 –> 00:03:17,880
because he did eat of the
loaves, and were filled.

52
00:03:18,800 –> 00:03:23,160
Staggering, staggering,
staggering miracle here.

53
00:03:23,200 –> 00:03:28,600
Here was a man who could not
only cure the sick, but he could

54
00:03:28,600 –> 00:03:30,520
provide food from next to
nothing.

55
00:03:31,840 –> 00:03:33,560
This was the man they wanted as
king.

56
00:03:34,080 –> 00:03:37,760
It isn’t to be wondered at that
they took Him by force, or tried

57
00:03:37,760 –> 00:03:40,760
to on more than one occasion to
make him king.

58
00:03:42,760 –> 00:03:45,440
But Jesus of course needed not
to be told, was in which was in

59
00:03:45,440 –> 00:03:48,800
the heart of man, because He
knew men’s hearts.

60
00:03:50,280 –> 00:03:53,560
And He said to them, Labour not
for the meat which perisheth,

61
00:03:53,560 –> 00:03:57,400
but for the meat which endureth
unto everlasting life, which the

62
00:03:57,400 –> 00:04:00,760
Son of man shall give unto you,
for him hath God the Father

63
00:04:00,760 –> 00:04:03,960
sealed.
Jesus is going to say in this

64
00:04:03,960 –> 00:04:08,440
chapter, I am the bread of life,
which is a continuous verb,

65
00:04:08,960 –> 00:04:10,880
which is coming down from
heaven.

66
00:04:11,080 –> 00:04:13,920
It didn’t just come down from
heaven and that was the end of

67
00:04:13,920 –> 00:04:17,839
it.
This bread of life is living and

68
00:04:17,839 –> 00:04:24,920
vibrant and permanent, and it is
coming down from heaven now for

69
00:04:24,920 –> 00:04:31,040
those who will take it.
And they say unto him, what

70
00:04:31,040 –> 00:04:33,720
should we do that we might work
the works of God?

71
00:04:34,360 –> 00:04:37,560
It’s a staggering question,
brethren and sisters, and one

72
00:04:37,560 –> 00:04:40,680
which we can easily slip over if
we’re just reading the word of

73
00:04:40,680 –> 00:04:46,600
God with without, without due
thought, really, what should we

74
00:04:46,600 –> 00:04:48,680
do that we might work the works
of God.

75
00:04:48,960 –> 00:04:53,360
God’s people, Israel were always
wanting to sort of put God in in

76
00:04:53,360 –> 00:04:56,800
their debt.
We’ll do this and you owe US1

77
00:04:57,800 –> 00:05:00,160
What should we do that we might
work the works of God.

78
00:05:00,320 –> 00:05:02,160
What what should we do?
And then God will be in our

79
00:05:02,160 –> 00:05:03,960
debt.
Now you can do this for us.

80
00:05:05,000 –> 00:05:06,640
That that’s, that’s what was in
their mind.

81
00:05:08,040 –> 00:05:11,960
And Jesus said unto them, it’s a
wondrous reply, This is, this is

82
00:05:11,960 –> 00:05:16,160
the work of God that you believe
on him whom he hath sent.

83
00:05:18,280 –> 00:05:20,800
Now do do you see the subtle
difference?

84
00:05:21,400 –> 00:05:22,720
They have said, what shall we
do?

85
00:05:22,720 –> 00:05:24,280
They wanted to do something
physical.

86
00:05:24,600 –> 00:05:26,480
Jesus said, this is what you
must do.

87
00:05:26,480 –> 00:05:29,560
This is the work of God that you
believe on him whom he hath

88
00:05:29,560 –> 00:05:32,480
sent.
And see how they misunderstand

89
00:05:32,480 –> 00:05:34,680
Jesus.
What sign?

90
00:05:34,680 –> 00:05:37,200
Show us thou then that we may
see and believe thee.

91
00:05:37,320 –> 00:05:41,160
What does thou work?
Totally misunderstood the

92
00:05:41,160 –> 00:05:43,760
Master.
The Master said this is the work

93
00:05:43,760 –> 00:05:46,080
of God, that you believe on Him
or in Him.

94
00:05:46,080 –> 00:05:49,520
It’s the same thing.
Believe on Him whom He has sent.

95
00:05:50,080 –> 00:05:52,800
They say show us a sign and
we’ll believe you.

96
00:05:55,720 –> 00:05:57,920
It’s easy to believe if somebody
gives a sign.

97
00:06:00,880 –> 00:06:02,600
The two things are totally
different.

98
00:06:03,040 –> 00:06:07,120
If I were to say to you, Sister
Carol and I had a a good ride

99
00:06:07,120 –> 00:06:11,200
out from from England hassle
free and we’ve had a couple of

100
00:06:11,200 –> 00:06:14,600
relaxing days before coming on
to Bible school, you would

101
00:06:14,600 –> 00:06:15,920
believe me.
Well, I hope you would.

102
00:06:15,920 –> 00:06:20,000
I’m telling you the truth.
But if I said I want you to

103
00:06:20,000 –> 00:06:23,720
believe on me, that’s a totally
different thing.

104
00:06:25,520 –> 00:06:27,480
If you, if you’re going to
believe on me, you may have to

105
00:06:27,480 –> 00:06:30,640
change your vocabulary, maybe
your way of life, maybe your

106
00:06:30,640 –> 00:06:34,040
ambition, maybe your employment.
If you believe on me or in me.

107
00:06:35,120 –> 00:06:38,480
And Jesus said this is the work
of God that you believe on him

108
00:06:38,480 –> 00:06:43,120
whom he had sent.
And they said, so show us a sign

109
00:06:43,120 –> 00:06:46,800
and we’ll believe you.
You see, the money changes

110
00:06:46,800 –> 00:06:48,800
tables have already been
overturned.

111
00:06:49,400 –> 00:06:54,400
That was the sign that which
previously purchased your

112
00:06:54,400 –> 00:06:56,880
salvation.
He’s now a thing of the past.

113
00:07:01,280 –> 00:07:05,160
Our fathers did eat manner in
the wilderness as it is written.

114
00:07:05,160 –> 00:07:07,200
He gave them bread from heaven
to eat.

115
00:07:07,840 –> 00:07:11,280
And Jesus has to put them right.
He said you’re misquoting

116
00:07:11,280 –> 00:07:13,560
Nehemiah.
You’ve quoted me Nehemiah

117
00:07:13,560 –> 00:07:15,480
Chapter 9.
And that isn’t what the prophet

118
00:07:15,480 –> 00:07:19,240
said, because Moses didn’t give
you the bread from heaven.

119
00:07:19,360 –> 00:07:24,680
My Father gave you the bread
from heaven and still is, for

120
00:07:24,680 –> 00:07:27,880
the bread of God is he which
cometh down, is coming down from

121
00:07:27,880 –> 00:07:30,240
heaven and giveth life on life
unto the world.

122
00:07:30,240 –> 00:07:32,760
They said, Lord evermore give us
this bread.

123
00:07:33,880 –> 00:07:37,040
Jesus is going to say to them
later on, Your Father’s did eat

124
00:07:37,040 –> 00:07:38,960
manna in the wilderness and are
dead.

125
00:07:39,960 –> 00:07:42,840
They ate the bread of God’s
providing and died.

126
00:07:43,680 –> 00:07:46,720
And the Lord Jesus Christ is now
saying to his disciples of all

127
00:07:46,720 –> 00:07:50,960
ages, eat this bread and you
will live forever.

128
00:07:53,400 –> 00:07:55,520
I just want to have a look,
brother and sisters, at the at

129
00:07:55,520 –> 00:07:57,520
the giving of the manner.
You needn’t turn to the passage.

130
00:07:57,520 –> 00:08:02,400
I would be very sad if if if it
was not fairly clear in in your

131
00:08:02,400 –> 00:08:07,080
in your memory.
Just just see this the scene, if

132
00:08:07,080 –> 00:08:08,200
you will.
Let’s set the scene.

133
00:08:08,720 –> 00:08:12,560
Moses didn’t speak.
Moses didn’t speak to the

134
00:08:12,560 –> 00:08:14,160
people.
Aaron spoke to the people.

135
00:08:14,160 –> 00:08:16,880
The passage of the word of God
coming to the people was like

136
00:08:16,880 –> 00:08:18,880
this.
God spoke to Moses.

137
00:08:18,880 –> 00:08:22,040
Moses spoke to Aaron, and Aaron
conveyed the message to the

138
00:08:22,040 –> 00:08:23,720
people.
It seemed that he was a better

139
00:08:23,720 –> 00:08:30,680
orator than Moses.
And God said to Moses, I’ll give

140
00:08:30,680 –> 00:08:32,320
them bread because they had
complained.

141
00:08:32,520 –> 00:08:34,440
Our Father knows what we have
need of.

142
00:08:34,960 –> 00:08:39,640
He knows that we need bread.
And he said, I’ll, I’ll give

143
00:08:39,640 –> 00:08:45,240
them bread from heaven.
And he says tonight you will see

144
00:08:45,240 –> 00:08:48,200
a demonstration of the power
that brought you out of Egypt.

145
00:08:49,200 –> 00:08:52,560
And tomorrow morning you will
see the glory of God.

146
00:08:52,560 –> 00:08:58,240
Very important that once more
this evening you will see a

147
00:08:58,240 –> 00:09:00,840
token of the power that brought
you out of Egypt.

148
00:09:01,400 –> 00:09:04,680
And tomorrow morning you will
see the glory of God.

149
00:09:04,680 –> 00:09:09,360
And whilst Aaron is speaking to
them, they look into the

150
00:09:09,360 –> 00:09:12,560
wilderness behind Aaron, and
there they say, shimmering in

151
00:09:12,560 –> 00:09:16,760
the cloud, the glory of God.
Now that’s strange because God

152
00:09:16,760 –> 00:09:20,160
has directly said you won’t see
my glory tonight, you’ll see it

153
00:09:20,160 –> 00:09:22,200
tomorrow morning.
And yet they’re looking at it

154
00:09:22,200 –> 00:09:28,040
and it’s still tonight.
And tomorrow morning when they

155
00:09:28,040 –> 00:09:32,360
woke up and pulled open the door
of the tent, there upon the

156
00:09:32,360 –> 00:09:35,680
ground was that stuff they
called Manna.

157
00:09:36,400 –> 00:09:42,080
What is it manner?
And there were rules associated

158
00:09:42,080 –> 00:09:43,960
with it.
And we do well to hear them,

159
00:09:43,960 –> 00:09:48,120
brethren and sisters, because
although they’re 3000 years old,

160
00:09:48,120 –> 00:09:53,800
these regulations, they are
highly applicable to us because

161
00:09:53,800 –> 00:09:57,880
the bread spoke of the Lord
Jesus Christ, and it was He that

162
00:09:57,880 –> 00:10:02,520
appeared on the ground with the
people more than anything, more

163
00:10:02,520 –> 00:10:05,320
than any other illustration in
the whole of the world of God.

164
00:10:05,320 –> 00:10:09,360
In my estimation, the manner
speaks to us clearly of Jesus.

165
00:10:12,440 –> 00:10:15,600
It came from heaven.
You see, if I talk about the

166
00:10:15,600 –> 00:10:17,560
manner, you think about the Lord
Jesus Christ.

167
00:10:18,000 –> 00:10:21,360
It came from heaven in a
miraculous way, never been seen

168
00:10:21,360 –> 00:10:27,920
before.
On which day of the week do you

169
00:10:27,920 –> 00:10:32,960
think the manner first appeared?
Well, no question is it for

170
00:10:33,440 –> 00:10:36,840
children of God, it first
appeared on Sunday morning.

171
00:10:38,000 –> 00:10:40,440
But then it would, wouldn’t it,
if it’s going to type the Lord

172
00:10:40,440 –> 00:10:44,280
Jesus Christ for us.
The Bread of life first appeared

173
00:10:44,280 –> 00:10:49,040
from the tomb on Sunday morning.
And here is the bread

174
00:10:49,560 –> 00:10:55,960
representing God’s glory first
appearing on Sunday morning.

175
00:10:57,440 –> 00:11:00,960
They gathered an ether about
about 6 pints in our language.

176
00:11:02,320 –> 00:11:06,840
Enough for one man for one day
go out and gather it.

177
00:11:08,960 –> 00:11:13,480
It was corruptible was this
manner and this was evidenced by

178
00:11:13,480 –> 00:11:18,480
the people who didn’t believe it
might be there tomorrow and so

179
00:11:18,480 –> 00:11:24,520
it so it took two portions today
and he bred worms and stank in

180
00:11:24,520 –> 00:11:26,720
their tents.
Corruptible.

181
00:11:26,720 –> 00:11:28,160
You see, like the Lord Jesus
Christ.

182
00:11:28,360 –> 00:11:31,280
There isn’t a book in the New
Testament that doesn’t speak of

183
00:11:31,480 –> 00:11:36,520
the Lord Jesus Christ coming in
the flesh, made like us, Jesus

184
00:11:36,520 –> 00:11:44,720
Christ, corruptible, temptable.
Coming in the flesh was not seen

185
00:11:44,720 –> 00:11:48,520
on the 7th day was not this
manner, neither was the Lord

186
00:11:48,520 –> 00:11:52,680
Jesus Christ.
Nobody saw Jesus on the Saturday

187
00:11:52,680 –> 00:11:57,720
of the weekend of his death.
You could do lots of things with

188
00:11:57,720 –> 00:12:02,880
it.
You could fry it, bake it, boil

189
00:12:02,880 –> 00:12:06,960
it, do lots of things with it so
you can with the Lord Jesus

190
00:12:06,960 –> 00:12:11,120
Christ, just take it as he comes
or do lots of things with it.

191
00:12:12,040 –> 00:12:19,600
I’m a I’m a culinary imbecile in
in the in the kitchen.

192
00:12:19,600 –> 00:12:24,480
I can prepare nothing.
And so were I to be living in

193
00:12:24,480 –> 00:12:31,080
the day of Moses, when the
manner was given of necessity, I

194
00:12:31,080 –> 00:12:32,920
would have had to eat it just as
it was.

195
00:12:33,040 –> 00:12:34,560
And that’s fine.
You can do that.

196
00:12:35,400 –> 00:12:38,800
It’s very good for you.
So you can do that with the Lord

197
00:12:38,800 –> 00:12:43,520
Jesus Christ too.
Children of of all ages, just

198
00:12:43,520 –> 00:12:45,960
read the parables, learn the
miracles.

199
00:12:46,200 –> 00:12:50,760
Just just read them and as
simple stories or your brother

200
00:12:50,760 –> 00:12:55,080
and the sisters of more mature
years do other things with it.

201
00:12:55,080 –> 00:12:57,720
Put the magnifying glass on it.
Find out why.

202
00:13:01,480 –> 00:13:04,840
Find find out why.
In Matthew’s Gospel, for

203
00:13:04,840 –> 00:13:09,920
example, the Lord Jesus Christ
benefited from one of his own

204
00:13:09,920 –> 00:13:16,280
miracles, the only miracle that
he performed from which he was a

205
00:13:16,280 –> 00:13:20,560
beneficiary.
Well, he may have eaten of the

206
00:13:20,560 –> 00:13:21,920
bread, but we’re not told that
he did.

207
00:13:24,880 –> 00:13:27,480
But when the tax collector came
and said to Peter, does your

208
00:13:27,480 –> 00:13:30,520
master pay tax?
Not all this is not Roman tax.

209
00:13:31,800 –> 00:13:34,080
Does your master pay tax?
We’re reading this a week ago.

210
00:13:35,160 –> 00:13:36,520
Peter said, yes, of course he
does.

211
00:13:36,520 –> 00:13:41,360
He must have seen Jesus pay the
tax half a shekel per person.

212
00:13:43,000 –> 00:13:54,120
And Jesus said of whom do those
ruling take texts?

213
00:13:54,320 –> 00:13:56,440
Of the children or of strangers?
Of strangers.

214
00:13:56,960 –> 00:14:00,480
That’s why the Romans texts as
Peter could have said, then

215
00:14:00,480 –> 00:14:02,520
other children free, said the
Lord Jesus Christ.

216
00:14:03,400 –> 00:14:06,960
But what these people are doing
to us is saying that whilst God

217
00:14:06,960 –> 00:14:09,280
is texting us, we’re strangers
to God.

218
00:14:09,280 –> 00:14:14,000
That’s what they were saying.
And then Jesus says, go and cast

219
00:14:14,000 –> 00:14:18,720
a hook into the sea, and the
first fish that comes up, you’ll

220
00:14:18,720 –> 00:14:22,680
find a coin in its mouth.
Give that to them for me and

221
00:14:22,680 –> 00:14:24,120
thee.
There’s so much wrong with that,

222
00:14:24,120 –> 00:14:26,600
brethren and sisters, that we
don’t have time to discuss it

223
00:14:26,600 –> 00:14:28,720
now.
First of all, it’s grammatically

224
00:14:28,720 –> 00:14:31,480
wrong.
You never put yourself first, do

225
00:14:31,480 –> 00:14:35,680
you?
Hey, you don’t.

226
00:14:35,680 –> 00:14:37,040
You don’t ever put yourself
first.

227
00:14:38,080 –> 00:14:41,240
But Jesus says, give it to them
for me and thee.

228
00:14:41,240 –> 00:14:45,560
A polite man surely would have
said give it to them for you and

229
00:14:45,560 –> 00:14:48,120
me.
No, give it to them for me and

230
00:14:48,120 –> 00:14:49,200
Z.
Why was that?

231
00:14:50,160 –> 00:14:53,120
Why didn’t Jesus say to Peter
have have a day off from

232
00:14:53,120 –> 00:14:56,000
discipleship and go fishing for
a day, catch some fish, sell it

233
00:14:56,000 –> 00:14:59,520
and give it, give it to them.
What’s all this rigmarole about

234
00:14:59,640 –> 00:15:04,240
casting a hook into the sea?
I tell you what, if it were not

235
00:15:04,240 –> 00:15:08,680
such a sticky evening and and
time marches on, you’d, you’d be

236
00:15:08,680 –> 00:15:12,120
stuck with me not explaining
that, that that sounds very

237
00:15:12,120 –> 00:15:14,080
condescending.
And I don’t mean to be like

238
00:15:14,080 –> 00:15:16,120
that.
You’d be stuck with me talking

239
00:15:16,120 –> 00:15:17,920
about that for several more
minutes.

240
00:15:17,920 –> 00:15:20,120
But we’ll leave you at that
because when you read it a few

241
00:15:20,120 –> 00:15:22,000
weeks ago, you surely came up
with the answer.

242
00:15:22,360 –> 00:15:25,480
Why should the piece of why
should the coin be in the

243
00:15:25,480 –> 00:15:27,960
fishy’s mouth?
Why give it to them for me and

244
00:15:27,960 –> 00:15:31,200
thee.
And this is what we can do with

245
00:15:31,200 –> 00:15:34,400
the Lord Jesus Christ, brethren
and sisters, with, with, with

246
00:15:34,400 –> 00:15:37,080
the manner.
Take him as he is or put the

247
00:15:37,080 –> 00:15:40,440
magnifying glass on him and say
this is what I can learn from

248
00:15:40,440 –> 00:15:49,800
this wonderful mare.
You see, I’m not sure about the,

249
00:15:49,840 –> 00:15:55,320
the, the laws of in, in North
America, not very clear on them

250
00:15:55,320 –> 00:15:57,320
in, in the United Kingdom, to
tell you the truth.

251
00:15:57,320 –> 00:16:02,520
But I, I am, I’m, I’m told by
people who say they know that I

252
00:16:02,520 –> 00:16:05,440
must have 5 portions of goodies
per day.

253
00:16:05,640 –> 00:16:08,000
Didn’t you know what I mean?
Do you, do you have that law

254
00:16:08,080 –> 00:16:12,400
here?
No, I’m told on newspapers,

255
00:16:13,520 –> 00:16:16,240
government advertisements.
I mean, they tell me to stop

256
00:16:16,240 –> 00:16:23,240
smoking which are which are
which, which is easy.

257
00:16:23,960 –> 00:16:28,320
But but these five I’m told to
drink orange juicy tomatoes.

258
00:16:28,320 –> 00:16:30,240
Don’t don’t forget the the the
carrots.

259
00:16:30,240 –> 00:16:35,640
And these people, brethren and
sisters for 40 years, 8 Manor.

260
00:16:35,800 –> 00:16:38,280
And when they got to the border
of the promised land, nobody was

261
00:16:38,280 –> 00:16:41,280
sick.
How about that for a diet?

262
00:16:42,800 –> 00:16:45,760
How, how about that?
How about that for goodness?

263
00:16:46,080 –> 00:16:49,400
God’s provision, That’s what it
was.

264
00:16:52,160 –> 00:16:54,400
And you could do lots with it,
but men had to gather it.

265
00:16:54,640 –> 00:16:56,680
God said you, you have to gather
this.

266
00:16:57,000 –> 00:17:00,000
You see, it was biodegradable,
we would say today.

267
00:17:01,200 –> 00:17:03,720
That is to say, when the sun
came up, it melted.

268
00:17:04,839 –> 00:17:07,640
Now you could make a choice,
either bed or bread.

269
00:17:08,119 –> 00:17:09,440
That, that, that was your
choice.

270
00:17:09,839 –> 00:17:13,160
See, it’s true, don’t you think?
That’s right?

271
00:17:13,720 –> 00:17:15,240
Thank you.
I’m getting one or two nods.

272
00:17:15,240 –> 00:17:18,040
So at least a few, a few people
are still awake.

273
00:17:20,720 –> 00:17:24,280
You either got out of bed and
gathered it or you said I’ll

274
00:17:24,280 –> 00:17:26,280
have a line today.
And when you got out of bed, it

275
00:17:26,280 –> 00:17:28,119
did melted and was gone.
No bread.

276
00:17:28,480 –> 00:17:30,440
There’s got to be a lesson there
for you and me.

277
00:17:31,480 –> 00:17:33,240
Get out of bed.
Wait, wait.

278
00:17:35,480 –> 00:17:42,320
Get out of bed a bit earlier and
read they put it in a pot.

279
00:17:42,800 –> 00:17:48,120
This this was a wondrous thing
God said to to Moses take take a

280
00:17:48,120 –> 00:17:50,560
daily ration and put it in a
pot.

281
00:17:50,720 –> 00:17:53,960
You know, I should think the pot
was about about like that, about

282
00:17:53,960 –> 00:17:56,360
like that and about like, I
really don’t know, but not I’m

283
00:17:56,360 –> 00:17:59,320
just guessing.
You had to you had to hold about

284
00:17:59,320 –> 00:18:03,560
6 pints pretty big sort of pot.
Look what you have.

285
00:18:04,040 –> 00:18:06,480
You’ve got corruptible man.
I’m talking about the Lord Jesus

286
00:18:06,480 –> 00:18:09,160
Christ.
You’ve got corruptible manner

287
00:18:09,160 –> 00:18:15,040
going into a corruptible pot,
and God said to Moses, put it in

288
00:18:15,040 –> 00:18:19,040
a pot that Israel may see it.
I’m not quite sure what that

289
00:18:19,040 –> 00:18:23,120
means.
Some of our writers say that on

290
00:18:23,120 –> 00:18:25,840
the great day of atonement, it
was taken out of the ark of the

291
00:18:25,840 –> 00:18:29,040
covenant and paraded before
Israel so that everybody could

292
00:18:29,040 –> 00:18:31,160
see it.
I need Bible evidence of that

293
00:18:31,160 –> 00:18:35,680
and I can’t find it Now what I
think, what I think it might

294
00:18:35,680 –> 00:18:38,720
mean you, you just ponder the
size of the of the camp of

295
00:18:38,720 –> 00:18:41,880
Israel with that little
Tabernacle in the middle and a

296
00:18:41,880 –> 00:18:45,680
little pot.
What chance would the man at the

297
00:18:45,680 –> 00:18:48,360
far corner say?
It’s a bit like the people in

298
00:18:48,360 –> 00:18:51,240
that corner looking at the
prayer list down here we’re

299
00:18:51,240 –> 00:18:54,480
being told about.
And I think that the pot

300
00:18:54,480 –> 00:18:57,280
therefore must have been taken
around Israel for them to see

301
00:18:57,280 –> 00:19:00,440
it.
You see this, you see this, this

302
00:19:00,440 –> 00:19:03,200
is going into the very presence
of God and we lose sight of it

303
00:19:03,200 –> 00:19:07,160
in the Levitical record.
No idea what happened to it from

304
00:19:07,160 –> 00:19:12,480
Exodus chapter 16 except to say
that Moses did as he was

305
00:19:12,480 –> 00:19:15,040
commanded.
He put the manner in the pot and

306
00:19:15,040 –> 00:19:18,560
he set it up before the Lord.
That means in the ark of the

307
00:19:18,560 –> 00:19:21,280
covenant.
Thank God we have the great

308
00:19:21,280 –> 00:19:24,360
letter to the Hebrew ecclesia,
hey in Jerusalem.

309
00:19:24,960 –> 00:19:30,000
Thank God the the, the the
Hebrew man tells us what

310
00:19:30,000 –> 00:19:34,920
happened because he said that
pot which was corruptible

311
00:19:35,920 –> 00:19:41,520
because it was made of clay
which held the manner which was

312
00:19:41,520 –> 00:19:45,800
corruptible, was covered with
gold and anything in the word of

313
00:19:45,800 –> 00:19:49,880
God he’s made when he’s covered
in gold, he’s made

314
00:19:50,040 –> 00:19:52,120
incorruptible.
It speaks of incorruption.

315
00:19:52,120 –> 00:19:54,280
Look what we have.
We have the Lord Jesus Christ,

316
00:19:54,280 –> 00:19:58,320
who was corruptible, placed in
the very You can get no nearer

317
00:19:58,320 –> 00:20:01,280
to God in Old Testament times
than inside the art.

318
00:20:02,720 –> 00:20:06,240
And that’s where the pot was put
covered in gold and sealed.

319
00:20:07,120 –> 00:20:10,480
Jesus, he’s going to say in John
chapter 6, for him hath God the

320
00:20:10,480 –> 00:20:12,960
Father sealed.
When anything was sealed,

321
00:20:12,960 –> 00:20:16,200
brethren and sisters in the
Roman Empire, 3 seals, bag of

322
00:20:16,200 –> 00:20:19,080
corn, for example, 3 seals were
placed on it.

323
00:20:19,240 –> 00:20:21,280
Nothing else could get in and
nothing could come out.

324
00:20:21,560 –> 00:20:24,280
That seal guaranteed quality and
quantity.

325
00:20:26,520 –> 00:20:29,160
And Jesus said for him, hath God
the Father sealed.

326
00:20:30,320 –> 00:20:32,760
They tried to seal him.
They put him in a tomb and they

327
00:20:32,760 –> 00:20:34,520
put a seal on it.
And they said there you won’t

328
00:20:34,520 –> 00:20:37,920
get out of that now, will you?
And the seal was broken and

329
00:20:37,920 –> 00:20:40,560
Jesus emerged from the tomb
manifesting.

330
00:20:41,240 –> 00:20:45,120
He didn’t emerge, that the stone
wasn’t rolled away so that Jesus

331
00:20:45,120 –> 00:20:48,440
could get out.
The stone was rolled away so

332
00:20:48,440 –> 00:20:50,760
that the disciples could look in
and see that he wasn’t there.

333
00:20:53,520 –> 00:20:56,160
So they tried to seal him, and
they couldn’t, because him hath

334
00:20:56,160 –> 00:21:00,480
God the Father sealed perfect in
quantity and quality.

335
00:21:02,160 –> 00:21:07,000
And this, brethren and sisters,
is the manner upon which Israel

336
00:21:07,000 –> 00:21:10,840
lived for 40 years and
preciously louse.

337
00:21:13,560 –> 00:21:17,840
Just just just ponder once more,
if you will, the goodness that

338
00:21:17,840 –> 00:21:21,400
was packed into that manner.
And this is Jesus.

339
00:21:22,720 –> 00:21:24,960
And if we’re wise, we eat it
every day.

340
00:21:26,600 –> 00:21:29,960
I don’t know anybody never
recorded in the wilderness,

341
00:21:31,320 –> 00:21:37,960
anybody who said I had a good
portion yesterday, I’ll be all

342
00:21:37,960 –> 00:21:41,600
right today.
Now you need it every day,

343
00:21:41,600 –> 00:21:47,440
brother and sisters.
And so we ask our brother to

344
00:21:47,440 –> 00:21:50,400
uncover the emblems and give us
the bread and let us sip the

345
00:21:50,400 –> 00:21:52,280
wine, which speaks eloquently of
Jesus.

346
00:21:52,960 –> 00:21:57,920
Just one last thing, when the
Lord Jesus Christ dictated the

347
00:21:57,920 –> 00:22:02,360
letter to the Church at
Pergamosum Revelation, we hear

348
00:22:02,360 –> 00:22:07,240
him say this chapter 2 and verse
17 of Revelation.

349
00:22:09,240 –> 00:22:17,040
Him that overcometh will I give
a whitestone upon which a new

350
00:22:17,040 –> 00:22:21,280
name is written.
I’m not quite sure what that is,

351
00:22:21,280 –> 00:22:24,400
but by God’s grace and with your
patience, we shall talk this

352
00:22:24,400 –> 00:22:26,320
coming week about God
manifestation.

353
00:22:26,480 –> 00:22:29,640
And it is the most wondrous in,
in my estimation, the most

354
00:22:29,640 –> 00:22:34,080
wondrous subject, God
manifestation in Jesus Christ.

355
00:22:37,320 –> 00:22:42,080
And so when come the day of the
King, a new stone is given to

356
00:22:42,080 –> 00:22:45,400
those whitestone is given to
those who are accepted.

357
00:22:46,000 –> 00:22:50,160
On it is written a name.
We’ll talk about that name.

358
00:22:51,360 –> 00:22:55,080
I think Revelation chapter 2,
verse 17 is, is hinting perhaps

359
00:22:55,080 –> 00:22:58,040
at the Urim and Thummim which
the high priest held by his

360
00:22:58,040 –> 00:23:01,280
heart and which had the capacity
to answer yes or no.

361
00:23:02,680 –> 00:23:08,320
And you’re in the Kingdom.
The whitestone is given you with

362
00:23:08,320 –> 00:23:11,760
a name on it.
We’ll talk about that name, but

363
00:23:11,760 –> 00:23:14,880
something else is given.
Jesus said not only will he give

364
00:23:14,880 –> 00:23:17,640
them a stone, a whitestone with
a new name written on it, He’ll

365
00:23:17,640 –> 00:23:21,240
also give them to eat of the
hidden manner.

366
00:23:23,240 –> 00:23:25,320
But we’ve no idea what happened
to that pot of manner.

367
00:23:25,400 –> 00:23:28,960
We’ve lost it.
Hebrew scholars tell me that

368
00:23:28,960 –> 00:23:33,560
Jeremiah knows where it is, and
come the day of the Lord Jesus

369
00:23:33,560 –> 00:23:37,120
Christ’s appearing, many
surprises are going to be had.

370
00:23:37,120 –> 00:23:43,720
For example, Jeremiah will find
that the tube of clay in in

371
00:23:43,720 –> 00:23:46,600
which are the title deeds to
Anathos.

372
00:23:47,440 –> 00:23:50,000
Jack, come on, use your
imagination.

373
00:23:50,000 –> 00:23:53,440
There’s nothing wrong.
Just imagine the Lord Jesus

374
00:23:53,440 –> 00:23:56,160
Christ being on the earth.
Oh, look, we’ve found it.

375
00:23:56,280 –> 00:23:59,960
We’ve we’ve found it.
Found us a scroll here, brother

376
00:23:59,960 –> 00:24:04,560
president in in this clay tube,
break it.

377
00:24:04,720 –> 00:24:09,480
And he tell Jeremiah’s title
deeds to the town of Anathos

378
00:24:10,320 –> 00:24:15,760
never been rescinded that you
know, and Hebrew scholars tell

379
00:24:15,760 –> 00:24:19,720
me that Jeremiah also will find
the pot of hidden manner.

380
00:24:21,480 –> 00:24:23,760
I cannot believe that it’s been
destroyed.

381
00:24:23,760 –> 00:24:32,600
Can you this gold pot Speaking
of immortality from which came

382
00:24:32,600 –> 00:24:40,800
from corruption.
How about then the there is an

383
00:24:40,800 –> 00:24:46,120
assembly like this only 1000
times more, when the Lord Jesus

384
00:24:46,120 –> 00:24:49,800
Christ presides over a breaking
of bread service in the Kingdom.

385
00:24:51,760 –> 00:24:56,360
And the golden pot is on the
table and the seal is broken.

386
00:24:57,280 –> 00:25:02,040
And the manner which has been
stored for thousands of years is

387
00:25:02,040 –> 00:25:06,400
poured out.
And wine is sipped by Jesus and

388
00:25:06,400 –> 00:25:09,720
the congregation and bread is
taken from the hand of the

389
00:25:09,720 –> 00:25:12,440
steward.
And Peter or John or Matthew

390
00:25:12,440 –> 00:25:15,080
perhaps will pass you the plate,
but you’ll say, ah, the Lord

391
00:25:15,080 –> 00:25:20,120
Jesus Christ may do that, but
there won’t be enough.

392
00:25:20,120 –> 00:25:23,600
Well, there were 6 pints.
How’s that going to go around

393
00:25:23,960 –> 00:25:27,400
between the great congregation
celebrating the return of the

394
00:25:27,400 –> 00:25:31,000
King?
And I would think if that is the

395
00:25:31,000 –> 00:25:34,800
case, then the answer is easy.
Jesus will do with the man or

396
00:25:34,800 –> 00:25:38,960
what he did with the loaves and
fishes so that everybody will

397
00:25:38,960 –> 00:25:43,080
have enough.
And so, brother and sisters, we

398
00:25:43,080 –> 00:25:49,200
come to take of this this
manner, we eat it and we take

399
00:25:49,200 –> 00:25:50,880
you on board the Lord Jesus
Christ.

400
00:25:52,240 –> 00:25:56,560
It becomes part of you.
When you eat this bread and

401
00:25:56,560 –> 00:26:00,600
drink this wine, within a few
seconds it is inseparable from

402
00:26:00,600 –> 00:26:03,280
your body.
This bread becomes you.

403
00:26:03,640 –> 00:26:09,320
This wine is you as you sip it
and as you eat it, and the bread

404
00:26:09,320 –> 00:26:12,320
and the wine of the Lord Jesus
Christ.

405
00:26:14,000 –> 00:26:20,040
And so we grow in him, and we
grow like Him, so that

406
00:26:20,040 –> 00:26:24,880
ultimately at the return of the
King, we shall hear those words

407
00:26:24,880 –> 00:26:28,080
spoken.
Well done, good and faithful

408
00:26:28,080 –> 00:26:32,000
have waited for this day.
There’ll be no half measures,

409
00:26:32,000 –> 00:26:34,920
brethren and sisters.
Nobody will scrape in by the

410
00:26:34,920 –> 00:26:38,120
skin of their teeth.
That’s a human blessing.

411
00:26:39,000 –> 00:26:41,080
Come on then, it’s a close run
thing.

412
00:26:41,080 –> 00:26:46,880
But you, it won’t be like that.
Arms outstretched.

413
00:26:47,560 –> 00:26:50,320
We’ll talk about that as well
because that’s God, God’s way of

414
00:26:50,440 –> 00:26:53,400
showing us salvation.
It starts in Exodus chapter 6

415
00:26:53,400 –> 00:26:56,240
and verse 6 where God says I
will redeem you with

416
00:26:56,240 –> 00:27:00,000
outstretched arms.
And that is our redemption

417
00:27:01,320 –> 00:27:05,640
through the outstretched arms of
love and of sacrifice of the

418
00:27:05,640 –> 00:27:11,000
Lord Jesus Christ.
And I will remember him in bread

419
00:27:11,960 –> 00:27:15,120
and in wine.
Amen.
