1
00:00:03,960 –> 00:00:06,320
Welcome to good Christophian.
Talks thank you for.

2
00:00:06,320 –> 00:00:09,480
Joining us this week.
On this podcast, we select one

3
00:00:09,480 –> 00:00:13,280
talk a week to help us get the
Bible in our Daily News feed.

4
00:00:14,200 –> 00:00:17,640
Each week we post a talk that we
previewed from suggestions sent

5
00:00:17,640 –> 00:00:19,320
in by listeners from around the
world.

6
00:00:19,640 –> 00:00:22,960
Then we record a short intro
beforehand as a personalized

7
00:00:22,960 –> 00:00:25,760
recommendation to you on why we
are sharing the talk.

8
00:00:26,320 –> 00:00:28,600
And now let’s talk.
More about this week’s talk.

9
00:00:34,080 –> 00:00:37,920
Hello everyone, this is Simon
and welcome to episode 400.

10
00:00:39,200 –> 00:00:41,440
Would like to take the
opportunity to thank all the

11
00:00:41,440 –> 00:00:45,560
listeners for your support and
also everyone who sent in

12
00:00:45,560 –> 00:00:48,720
suggestions.
Also thanks to the whole team at

13
00:00:48,720 –> 00:00:50,960
GCT for all the time and effort
as well.

14
00:00:51,960 –> 00:00:57,400
We really hope and pray that all
the talks help to encourage and

15
00:00:57,400 –> 00:01:00,800
strengthen our faith on our walk
to the Kingdom.

16
00:01:02,320 –> 00:01:06,080
This week’s talk is by Uncle Bob
Lloyd on Hebrews 13.

17
00:01:06,120 –> 00:01:11,240
Let brotherly love continue.
Uncle Bob straight up challenges

18
00:01:11,240 –> 00:01:17,040
us to about showing love in our
actions, saying if we have love

19
00:01:17,680 –> 00:01:21,480
we will show it, but if we don’t
show it, it might be a sign that

20
00:01:21,480 –> 00:01:24,520
we don’t have it.
Uncle Bob talks about the

21
00:01:24,520 –> 00:01:27,960
importance of loving and helping
other people, and as a

22
00:01:27,960 –> 00:01:30,480
byproduct, it’ll actually make
us happy.

23
00:01:31,960 –> 00:01:34,960
I’m sure you would all agree
that Uncle Bob was admired for

24
00:01:34,960 –> 00:01:39,080
his compassion, love and care
that he showed to all people.

25
00:01:39,160 –> 00:01:43,680
And we are reminded of this in
this talk in Hebrews 13.

26
00:01:44,680 –> 00:01:48,360
We pray God’s Kingdom will be
here so soon where we will see

27
00:01:48,360 –> 00:01:51,600
many loved ones once again,
including Uncle Bob.

28
00:01:52,640 –> 00:01:56,360
So here is Uncle Bob Lloyd on
Hebrews 13.

29
00:01:56,440 –> 00:02:02,000
Let brotherly love continue.
My beloved brothers and sisters

30
00:02:02,000 –> 00:02:06,560
of the Lord Jesus Christ, we
finished reading the book of

31
00:02:06,560 –> 00:02:10,680
Hebrews this morning in our
Sunday School class led by our

32
00:02:10,680 –> 00:02:13,000
brother Dick Patterson.
The adult class.

33
00:02:13,000 –> 00:02:16,000
We’ve been reading this, been
studying this book for some time

34
00:02:16,000 –> 00:02:18,880
now.
He’s also backed up very capably

35
00:02:18,880 –> 00:02:23,600
by brother Peter Robbins, Peter
Wilson when he’s away.

36
00:02:24,960 –> 00:02:31,400
And today we finished this book.
Let’s open our Bibles to Hebrews

37
00:02:31,400 –> 00:02:37,280
chapter 13 and let the apostle
who wrote it bring us the word

38
00:02:37,280 –> 00:02:42,680
of exhortation.
The first verse is very short, 4

39
00:02:42,680 –> 00:02:46,960
words.
Let brotherly love continue.

40
00:02:49,840 –> 00:02:54,720
Let brotherly love continue.
Now that word brotherly love is

41
00:02:55,000 –> 00:02:59,040
the word Philadelphia.
Let Philadelphia continue if we

42
00:02:59,040 –> 00:03:03,040
were speaking somewhat in Greek,
because the word Philadelphia

43
00:03:03,040 –> 00:03:07,720
comes from 2 words Philo, love,
adelphia, brother, love,

44
00:03:07,720 –> 00:03:10,320
brother.
And so let brotherly love

45
00:03:10,320 –> 00:03:12,800
continue.
Let Philadelphia continue and we

46
00:03:12,800 –> 00:03:16,960
get her name from that same
Greek word, adelphia, because we

47
00:03:16,960 –> 00:03:19,880
are Christ’s brethren,
Christadelphians.

48
00:03:20,680 –> 00:03:25,160
But what does that verse say?
It says you’ve already got it.

49
00:03:26,040 –> 00:03:27,640
He’s not saying get brotherly
love.

50
00:03:27,640 –> 00:03:30,320
He says you’ve got it, now keep
on doing it.

51
00:03:31,040 –> 00:03:34,880
So here’s something we are to
continue to do because already

52
00:03:34,880 –> 00:03:38,520
you have it.
Do we?

53
00:03:40,160 –> 00:03:43,880
How much brotherly love do we
have?

54
00:03:44,720 –> 00:03:50,080
The word love is an action word.
You don’t just love, period.

55
00:03:50,720 –> 00:03:54,320
Love does things.
And so right away we’re going to

56
00:03:54,320 –> 00:03:57,600
have a little test.
Just ask yourself this question

57
00:03:58,360 –> 00:04:02,280
this morning.
What did you do this past week

58
00:04:03,040 –> 00:04:06,160
to show brotherly love for
others?

59
00:04:07,480 –> 00:04:11,800
Your family, your ecclesia, your
fellowship?

60
00:04:12,680 –> 00:04:16,040
Now, I hope your list is so long
as you can’t even finish from

61
00:04:16,040 –> 00:04:19,600
the time I left there.
But if we can’t think of

62
00:04:19,600 –> 00:04:25,120
anything this week we did, that
should give us a little message

63
00:04:25,120 –> 00:04:27,720
that maybe there’s room for
improvement.

64
00:04:28,360 –> 00:04:33,800
Maybe next week we can do more
than we did this week in showing

65
00:04:33,880 –> 00:04:39,760
our love for each other.
Because if you have it, you must

66
00:04:39,760 –> 00:04:43,680
show it.
If you don’t show it, it might

67
00:04:43,680 –> 00:04:48,640
be a sign we don’t have it.
But now the apostle who wrote

68
00:04:48,640 –> 00:04:52,680
the book of Hebrews is going to
continue and get specific about

69
00:04:52,680 –> 00:04:55,720
letting brotherly love continue.
So we look at verse 2.

70
00:04:56,760 –> 00:05:00,520
Do not forget to entertain
strangers, for in so doing, some

71
00:05:00,520 –> 00:05:02,720
people have entertained angels
without knowing it.

72
00:05:02,720 –> 00:05:05,720
And that’s in a a wonderful
verse.

73
00:05:05,840 –> 00:05:10,160
We’ve often heard it quoted, but
what it’s saying is that you may

74
00:05:10,160 –> 00:05:12,440
have entertained an Angel and
didn’t even know it.

75
00:05:13,160 –> 00:05:16,240
See, angels look like us.
They don’t have wings.

76
00:05:16,240 –> 00:05:19,560
We realize that.
And many times in scripture, an

77
00:05:19,560 –> 00:05:22,760
Angel appeared to someone and
they did not realize the person

78
00:05:22,760 –> 00:05:27,320
was an Angel.
So how many times in our lives

79
00:05:27,320 –> 00:05:31,920
have you actually seen an Angel?
Most of the time, I believe they

80
00:05:31,920 –> 00:05:35,440
keep themselves invisible.
But there are times when the

81
00:05:35,440 –> 00:05:39,720
Angel may have actually talked
to you and you didn’t know it

82
00:05:39,720 –> 00:05:42,280
was.
So be careful how you treat

83
00:05:42,400 –> 00:05:44,720
strangers.
You might be talking an Angel

84
00:05:44,720 –> 00:05:46,280
and not know it.
That’s what that’s what the

85
00:05:46,280 –> 00:05:51,360
apostle’s saying here.
And so it’s like now I I believe

86
00:05:51,360 –> 00:05:53,680
as soon as you’re baptized, you
get a private Angel.

87
00:05:54,680 –> 00:05:57,160
I believe that at at your
baptism, you’re assigned an

88
00:05:57,160 –> 00:06:00,400
Angel from God for the Angel
Lord and campeth roundabout

89
00:06:00,400 –> 00:06:03,000
those that fear him and
delivereth them, says David and

90
00:06:03,000 –> 00:06:07,080
the Psalms.
So just imagine wherever you go

91
00:06:07,080 –> 00:06:09,880
in your life, an angel’s with
you.

92
00:06:09,880 –> 00:06:12,680
You’re never alone.
This chapter tells us we’re

93
00:06:12,680 –> 00:06:15,920
never alone, and so you have
this Angel with you all the

94
00:06:15,920 –> 00:06:18,720
time.
When I drive alone in my car, I

95
00:06:18,720 –> 00:06:22,840
pretend that the Angel is
sitting there besides me, and

96
00:06:22,880 –> 00:06:27,080
sometimes I even talk to them.
They don’t reply, but it makes

97
00:06:27,080 –> 00:06:31,920
me feel close to God to realize
that there’s an Angel there and

98
00:06:31,920 –> 00:06:33,240
go.
It’s like praying, you know,

99
00:06:33,240 –> 00:06:34,680
we’re told to pray without
ceasing.

100
00:06:35,480 –> 00:06:38,080
One brother said When I drive my
car, I pray.

101
00:06:39,080 –> 00:06:45,000
His wife said so do I, but it’s
a good thing to pray as you

102
00:06:45,000 –> 00:06:47,040
drive.
It’s a good thing to be aware

103
00:06:47,040 –> 00:06:49,760
that you have an Angel beside
you or wherever you go because

104
00:06:49,760 –> 00:06:54,840
you’re never alone.
And so it’s just be careful how

105
00:06:55,000 –> 00:06:57,960
to entertain how you who you
entertain strangers.

106
00:06:58,800 –> 00:07:05,440
Now entertaining is hard work.
The older you get, the harder it

107
00:07:05,440 –> 00:07:08,240
seems.
It seems even entertaining close

108
00:07:08,240 –> 00:07:15,920
friends and family and yet we
are to entertain angels because

109
00:07:16,000 –> 00:07:18,680
or to entertain strangers
because they they just might be

110
00:07:18,680 –> 00:07:20,680
an Angel.
Now it doesn’t say you have to

111
00:07:20,680 –> 00:07:24,520
cook a big hot roast for them.
You could just just give a cup

112
00:07:24,520 –> 00:07:28,400
of glass, just a glass of water.
This is not too hard to do you

113
00:07:28,400 –> 00:07:29,520
all, you all have water in your
house.

114
00:07:29,520 –> 00:07:31,360
In fact, a lot of people carry
them with them.

115
00:07:31,360 –> 00:07:33,080
They’ve got bottles with them
everywhere they go.

116
00:07:34,000 –> 00:07:38,560
Are you willing to just share a
cup of cold water to someone

117
00:07:38,560 –> 00:07:44,040
else because you love the Lord?
Jesus comments on this.

118
00:07:44,040 –> 00:07:48,240
He says if anyone gives even a
cup of cold water to one of

119
00:07:48,240 –> 00:07:51,440
these little ones, because he’s
my disciple, I tell you the

120
00:07:51,440 –> 00:07:53,320
truth, he will not lose his
reward.

121
00:07:53,720 –> 00:07:57,360
So you see everything you’re
doing them the simplest thing

122
00:07:57,360 –> 00:08:01,680
which is not earth shaking,
thinking of others showing.

123
00:08:01,680 –> 00:08:04,320
Let ability, love continue.
Are you thirsty?

124
00:08:04,320 –> 00:08:10,320
Can I get you a drink may be an
act of faith in showing your

125
00:08:10,320 –> 00:08:14,240
love for each other.
And so we’re we’re just

126
00:08:14,240 –> 00:08:17,000
starting.
But now we’re down to verse 3 of

127
00:08:17,000 –> 00:08:21,640
the book of Hebrews chapter 13.
And he says to us, remember

128
00:08:21,640 –> 00:08:27,720
those in prison as if you were
their fellow prisoners and those

129
00:08:27,720 –> 00:08:31,400
who are mistreated as if you you
yourself were suffering.

130
00:08:32,880 –> 00:08:37,240
I don’t know about you, but I
can honestly say that I do not

131
00:08:37,240 –> 00:08:41,720
know anyone who is in prison.
There’s a lot of people in

132
00:08:41,720 –> 00:08:45,600
prison, but I haven’t, I don’t,
I can’t name a single person

133
00:08:45,600 –> 00:08:47,800
that I know personally who’s in
prison.

134
00:08:47,800 –> 00:08:49,800
We did have a brother in prison
up in the middle of the

135
00:08:49,800 –> 00:08:53,760
California while back.
He’s out now and some did go to

136
00:08:53,760 –> 00:08:56,880
visit him when he was in prison.
Not a pleasant thing to go.

137
00:08:57,000 –> 00:09:01,400
I went to jail once ’cause I, I
assured the head jailer for the

138
00:09:01,400 –> 00:09:05,720
city of Los Angeles and I was
calling on his home and has he

139
00:09:05,720 –> 00:09:07,600
ever been to jail?
I said no Sir.

140
00:09:08,120 –> 00:09:09,360
He said would you like to visit
one?

141
00:09:09,360 –> 00:09:11,480
I said well, I guess so.
He said well come down and I’ll

142
00:09:11,480 –> 00:09:14,120
give you a tour.
So I went down to the Los

143
00:09:14,120 –> 00:09:17,680
Angeles City Jail and I went in
and you have to register and you

144
00:09:17,720 –> 00:09:20,040
just don’t walk into a jail and
you can’t get in.

145
00:09:20,040 –> 00:09:23,520
You might not get out And told
him who I was wanting to see the

146
00:09:23,520 –> 00:09:27,160
Sergeant and I signed it.
And then he came out and met me

147
00:09:27,160 –> 00:09:31,720
and he, he took escorted me in.
And it was an eye opening

148
00:09:31,720 –> 00:09:34,440
experience.
And I was wearing a business

149
00:09:34,440 –> 00:09:37,240
suit because I was working.
And as I walked through this

150
00:09:37,240 –> 00:09:40,720
jail, all these prisoners were
calling out to me, hey,

151
00:09:40,720 –> 00:09:43,640
mouthpiece, mouthpiece.
They thought I was an attorney.

152
00:09:43,880 –> 00:09:46,040
And they went and he said just
ignore him.

153
00:09:46,040 –> 00:09:50,040
Just ignore him.
But I won’t forget that

154
00:09:50,040 –> 00:09:52,640
experience.
And I was real glad when he let

155
00:09:52,640 –> 00:09:56,800
me out.
But the the point that this

156
00:09:56,800 –> 00:10:00,800
writer is making is that we have
to put ourselves out for others.

157
00:10:01,760 –> 00:10:04,960
You may not be able to go to our
prison to visit someone and

158
00:10:04,960 –> 00:10:07,000
that’s all right.
But you know anybody in

159
00:10:07,000 –> 00:10:09,480
distress, you see the rest of
the world, you know anybody’s

160
00:10:09,480 –> 00:10:11,080
suffering.
You know anybody that’s that’s

161
00:10:11,120 –> 00:10:14,880
having problems.
Do you care what what are you

162
00:10:14,880 –> 00:10:17,160
doing about it?
That’s the point he’s trying to

163
00:10:17,160 –> 00:10:22,200
make for us.
Because you see, God is

164
00:10:22,200 –> 00:10:25,360
interested in your personal
everyday work, a day life.

165
00:10:25,760 –> 00:10:28,360
What are you doing to show your
brotherly love?

166
00:10:30,440 –> 00:10:32,560
Jesus is going to tell you who
to invite to your house.

167
00:10:32,560 –> 00:10:36,440
You say, Want to wait a minute?
This is my house and it’s my

168
00:10:36,440 –> 00:10:38,080
food.
I’ll invite who I want to invite

169
00:10:38,960 –> 00:10:40,360
Jesus, I’m going to tell you who
to invite.

170
00:10:40,360 –> 00:10:42,760
It’s in Luke chapter 14.
You all know this.

171
00:10:43,200 –> 00:10:49,560
He says when you have a supper,
who’s When you make a supper or

172
00:10:49,560 –> 00:10:51,520
a dinner, don’t call your
friends.

173
00:10:51,520 –> 00:10:53,920
Well, that’s why I like to have
my friends over for meals.

174
00:10:54,440 –> 00:10:57,600
He’s not wrong to do that.
But no, no, no, you, just your

175
00:10:57,600 –> 00:11:00,240
family.
You’re, you’re your kinsmen, but

176
00:11:00,320 –> 00:11:03,360
nor your rich neighbors.
Those kind of people will pay

177
00:11:03,360 –> 00:11:04,800
you back.
You come to my house today,

178
00:11:04,800 –> 00:11:06,280
tomorrow, next week.
You come to my house, their

179
00:11:06,280 –> 00:11:07,800
house.
He’s you.

180
00:11:07,960 –> 00:11:12,040
I’ll tell you who to invite when
you make us feast.

181
00:11:12,040 –> 00:11:17,760
Call the poor, the maimed, the
lame, the blind, and thou shalt

182
00:11:17,760 –> 00:11:20,480
be blessed, for they cannot
recompense you.

183
00:11:21,200 –> 00:11:23,640
But you shall be recompensed at
the resurrection of the justice

184
00:11:23,640 –> 00:11:26,080
of this thing.
Don’t forget to entertain

185
00:11:26,080 –> 00:11:28,280
strangels unawares.
You just might be entertaining

186
00:11:28,280 –> 00:11:31,960
an Angel and not know it.
And even if it’s not an Angel,

187
00:11:32,400 –> 00:11:35,000
are you putting yourself out to
show your brotherly love for

188
00:11:35,000 –> 00:11:38,520
others?
What are you doing tangibly each

189
00:11:38,520 –> 00:11:42,240
week to show I love the Lord and
I love my brothers and sisters?

190
00:11:43,280 –> 00:11:44,880
Nothing can’t be the right
answer.

191
00:11:45,280 –> 00:11:52,080
We do something, a phone call, a
note, e-mail.

192
00:11:52,080 –> 00:11:56,920
Now you can keep in touch with
lots of people on emails, but

193
00:11:58,480 –> 00:12:00,520
pray for them.
That’s one thing we can always

194
00:12:00,520 –> 00:12:04,960
pray for them.
What are you doing because you

195
00:12:04,960 –> 00:12:09,400
love the brethren so much that
you’re putting yourself out for

196
00:12:09,400 –> 00:12:12,520
them that that’s that’s what the
we’re not making these words up.

197
00:12:12,680 –> 00:12:17,480
We’re, we’re reading Hebrews
chapter 13 and now we’re going

198
00:12:17,480 –> 00:12:24,120
to go back and listen to Jesus
in Matthew 25 when he talks

199
00:12:24,120 –> 00:12:25,600
about the judgment seat of
Christ.

200
00:12:25,600 –> 00:12:30,120
And this is the only picture
we’re given of the details of

201
00:12:30,120 –> 00:12:33,720
what’s going to happen when we
stand before the judgment seat

202
00:12:33,720 –> 00:12:35,800
of Christ.
And brothers and sisters, you’re

203
00:12:35,800 –> 00:12:39,240
going to be there.
We’re all going to be there.

204
00:12:39,640 –> 00:12:42,040
There’s no way you can get out
of not being there.

205
00:12:42,040 –> 00:12:47,000
You are going to be there.
And this is what Jesus will say

206
00:12:47,840 –> 00:12:50,160
to the faithful.
Come.

207
00:12:50,640 –> 00:12:55,920
I’m looking at Matthew 25 verse
34 come he blessed my father

208
00:12:55,920 –> 00:12:58,640
inherit the Kingdom prepared for
you from the foundation of the

209
00:12:58,640 –> 00:13:01,480
world, for I was in hungered and
you gave me meat.

210
00:13:01,480 –> 00:13:02,640
I was searching and you gave me
a drink.

211
00:13:02,640 –> 00:13:05,280
I was assured you took me in
naked and you called me I was

212
00:13:05,280 –> 00:13:08,520
sick and you visited me.
I was in prison and you came to

213
00:13:08,520 –> 00:13:12,120
see me and the righteous are
going to be surprised.

214
00:13:12,160 –> 00:13:14,160
What we don’t remember ever
doing that to you.

215
00:13:15,400 –> 00:13:17,040
We never saw you in those
conditions.

216
00:13:17,320 –> 00:13:20,200
When did we ever do that?
Oh, but in as much as you did

217
00:13:20,200 –> 00:13:23,960
under one of the least of these,
my brethren, you did unto me.

218
00:13:24,120 –> 00:13:26,920
And then the reverse is
repeated, He says to those that

219
00:13:26,920 –> 00:13:29,560
he’s rejecting all those same
things.

220
00:13:29,560 –> 00:13:31,880
And you never came.
You did nothing.

221
00:13:32,480 –> 00:13:34,440
You did brotherly love because
you had none.

222
00:13:35,240 –> 00:13:37,120
That’s not our words.
It says the Lord speaking

223
00:13:37,760 –> 00:13:41,760
inspired words of Jesus recorded
for our salvation.

224
00:13:42,200 –> 00:13:45,000
So the point is, we now have the
opportunity to be doing these

225
00:13:45,000 –> 00:13:47,200
things.
There’s a time coming when we

226
00:13:47,200 –> 00:13:51,240
can’t.
So are we letting our brotherly

227
00:13:51,240 –> 00:13:56,600
love continue?
And that’s a question we need to

228
00:13:56,600 –> 00:14:00,640
ask ourselves really everyday
when you wake up in the morning.

229
00:14:00,640 –> 00:14:05,080
What can I do today because I
love the Lord?

230
00:14:06,160 –> 00:14:10,120
How can I put myself out?
I don’t really want to do this.

231
00:14:11,880 –> 00:14:15,400
I remember when my mother was in
a rest home in South Pasadena.

232
00:14:16,840 –> 00:14:20,040
She was in there for years.
And I spoke to a dear sister and

233
00:14:20,040 –> 00:14:22,400
our colleges long since falling
asleep herself.

234
00:14:23,480 –> 00:14:25,600
I said, if you ever get a
chance, go see my mother.

235
00:14:25,600 –> 00:14:27,720
She’s lonely and she would
appreciate it.

236
00:14:27,720 –> 00:14:29,360
Oh, she says, I don’t go to
those places.

237
00:14:29,920 –> 00:14:32,200
I said, you don’t.
No, it’s too dreary.

238
00:14:32,320 –> 00:14:35,240
It’s too depressing.
Well, you know, she’s right.

239
00:14:35,240 –> 00:14:36,480
They are.
It is depressing.

240
00:14:36,800 –> 00:14:39,360
I can remember going in to see
my mother and other people and

241
00:14:39,360 –> 00:14:41,280
the people are sitting there in
a wheelchair in there as you

242
00:14:41,280 –> 00:14:44,800
walk by the Help, help.
It’s it’s pitiful.

243
00:14:44,960 –> 00:14:48,720
You, you, there’s nothing you
can do for them except be kind

244
00:14:49,680 –> 00:14:53,360
and say, I always spoke to them.
And of course they, they just,

245
00:14:53,360 –> 00:14:55,120
they’re out of their minds.
A lot of them are.

246
00:14:55,760 –> 00:15:00,160
Well, my mother, mine was sharp.
She was in a room with two other

247
00:15:00,160 –> 00:15:03,560
women whose were in La La land.
But she knew what was going on

248
00:15:03,560 –> 00:15:06,520
in in a way they were happier
than she was because she she

249
00:15:06,520 –> 00:15:09,160
knew what was happening.
But you see, some people won’t

250
00:15:09,160 –> 00:15:11,680
go there because it’s too
depressing to me.

251
00:15:12,360 –> 00:15:15,320
My feelings are more important
than putting myself out for

252
00:15:15,320 –> 00:15:19,120
somebody I need to help.
Brotherly love is self

253
00:15:19,120 –> 00:15:21,920
sacrificing.
Acape love is completely self

254
00:15:21,920 –> 00:15:26,240
sacrificing.
So we need to remember, brother

255
00:15:26,240 –> 00:15:29,240
and sisters, that we have to put
ourselves out for each other.

256
00:15:29,720 –> 00:15:32,320
We don’t do what’s convenient.
And if we have time, we do it

257
00:15:32,320 –> 00:15:37,760
because we’re asked to do it or
we want to do it, or we believe

258
00:15:37,760 –> 00:15:42,240
we can help by doing it.
The smallest little thing, it

259
00:15:42,280 –> 00:15:46,600
may not be a big deal to you, is
such an important thing to

260
00:15:46,600 –> 00:15:48,920
someone else.
You called me, you remembered

261
00:15:48,920 –> 00:15:51,080
me.
You can cheer people out there.

262
00:15:51,280 –> 00:15:53,600
I I talked to people and said
you made my day.

263
00:15:53,600 –> 00:15:57,320
How do I make days?
Well, they were down and out and

264
00:15:57,880 –> 00:15:59,560
the president happened to make a
phone call.

265
00:16:00,320 –> 00:16:04,240
You got an ecclesial Jesper.
Do something.

266
00:16:05,240 –> 00:16:07,960
Each one of you can think what
you want to do, but doing

267
00:16:07,960 –> 00:16:14,000
nothing can never be right.
And so an expert in the law came

268
00:16:14,000 –> 00:16:18,360
to Jesus, Luke 10 and he’s, he
wants to test Jesus.

269
00:16:19,400 –> 00:16:22,760
So he says, teacher, what must I
do to inherit eternal life?

270
00:16:22,760 –> 00:16:25,240
Well, at least he had the truth.
People in the world think they

271
00:16:25,240 –> 00:16:27,920
have eternal life all the time.
You know, it maybe go up and

272
00:16:27,920 –> 00:16:29,520
they go down, but they got
eternal life.

273
00:16:30,240 –> 00:16:32,640
Well, this man realized you
don’t have eternal life unless

274
00:16:32,640 –> 00:16:35,840
it’s given to you by Christ.
It’s a judgment seat.

275
00:16:36,040 –> 00:16:38,120
What, what, what can I do to
inherit eternal life?

276
00:16:38,880 –> 00:16:41,480
Well, now Jesus didn’t just
answer the question like Van

277
00:16:41,480 –> 00:16:45,520
Gogh.
He often answered a question by

278
00:16:45,520 –> 00:16:47,440
answering.
He answered the question by

279
00:16:47,440 –> 00:16:49,680
asking mine.
So he said, what is written in

280
00:16:49,680 –> 00:16:50,880
the law?
Jesus asked.

281
00:16:51,880 –> 00:16:54,280
So this man was expert.
He says he was an expert and he

282
00:16:54,280 –> 00:16:55,720
was.
This is what he says.

283
00:16:56,440 –> 00:17:00,240
He said love the Lord your God
with all your heart, with all

284
00:17:00,240 –> 00:17:02,680
your soul, with all your
strength, with all your mind,

285
00:17:02,680 –> 00:17:03,920
and love your neighbor as
yourself.

286
00:17:04,920 –> 00:17:08,560
Boy, that’s right on.
And Jesus said you have answered

287
00:17:08,560 –> 00:17:10,079
correctly.
You are right.

288
00:17:11,440 –> 00:17:16,960
But the man still wanted to test
Jesus, so he says he wanted to

289
00:17:16,960 –> 00:17:19,560
justify himself.
So he said and and who is my

290
00:17:19,560 –> 00:17:22,680
neighbor?
Well, you think Jesus might say,

291
00:17:22,680 –> 00:17:25,000
well the fellow living next
door, the person, people across

292
00:17:25,000 –> 00:17:28,160
the street, No, he told him a
story.

293
00:17:29,160 –> 00:17:32,600
See, Jesus taught by asking
questions and telling stories.

294
00:17:33,600 –> 00:17:35,600
This is the story of the Good
Samaritan.

295
00:17:35,600 –> 00:17:40,560
You know this story well.
And so he told about the man

296
00:17:40,560 –> 00:17:43,400
going from Jericho from
Jerusalem down to Jericho.

297
00:17:44,240 –> 00:17:47,600
Jerusalem is 2550 feet above sea
level.

298
00:17:48,560 –> 00:17:51,280
Jericho is 1000 feet below sea
level.

299
00:17:52,040 –> 00:17:57,600
They’re 20 miles apart.
You go down 3550 feet in 20

300
00:17:57,600 –> 00:18:01,680
miles, it’s a real steep
downhill road and you’re going

301
00:18:01,680 –> 00:18:04,200
up as Jesus did many times.
You’re in the Bible.

302
00:18:04,240 –> 00:18:06,360
Jesus went up from Jericho to
Jerusalem.

303
00:18:06,920 –> 00:18:09,560
He had to be in physical top,
physical condition to climb

304
00:18:09,560 –> 00:18:11,920
that.
But this fellow was on his way

305
00:18:11,920 –> 00:18:17,040
down and he became out because
he got beat up by criminals,

306
00:18:17,200 –> 00:18:20,120
robbers.
He left him bleeding, half dead,

307
00:18:20,680 –> 00:18:25,280
took his money and got away.
And then along comes a Pharisee.

308
00:18:26,160 –> 00:18:29,280
They’re very and they’re busy.
Pharisees are busy doing God’s

309
00:18:29,280 –> 00:18:30,400
work.
You just ask them one and

310
00:18:30,400 –> 00:18:35,960
they’ll tell you they are.
And he saw this man, and he went

311
00:18:35,960 –> 00:18:41,080
by the other way.
And then a Levite came by,

312
00:18:42,040 –> 00:18:46,240
priest and a Levite.
And he saw the man and went the

313
00:18:46,240 –> 00:18:50,680
other way.
And then a Samaritan, the people

314
00:18:50,680 –> 00:18:55,480
that Jews hated, came by, and he
saw the man and he felt, he felt

315
00:18:55,560 –> 00:18:58,160
pity for me.
He realized he was in a bad way.

316
00:18:58,680 –> 00:19:02,000
He stopped, he bound up his
wounds, he got his hands dirty,

317
00:19:02,120 –> 00:19:04,920
he put him on his own animal.
He took him to an inn.

318
00:19:05,000 –> 00:19:08,120
He put his own money and paid
the innkeeper to take care of.

319
00:19:08,120 –> 00:19:11,480
He said take this money and when
I come back after you spend

320
00:19:11,480 –> 00:19:14,400
more, I’ll give you some more.
And he went on his way.

321
00:19:15,920 –> 00:19:19,000
And then Jesus asked the
question, who was his neighbor?

322
00:19:20,600 –> 00:19:23,920
And the fellow was smart enough,
he answered the one who had

323
00:19:23,920 –> 00:19:27,480
mercy on him.
Jesus said go and do likewise.

324
00:19:29,400 –> 00:19:34,360
And so you see, two important
people didn’t have time.

325
00:19:36,000 –> 00:19:40,440
An unimportant person in the
Jewish side took time to put

326
00:19:40,440 –> 00:19:44,000
himself out, to get his hands
dirty, probably got him bloody

327
00:19:44,000 –> 00:19:48,000
because man had been beaten up
and took him and took care of

328
00:19:48,000 –> 00:19:49,800
him.
And now I want to tell you a

329
00:19:49,800 –> 00:19:51,840
true story that actually
happened.

330
00:19:52,320 –> 00:19:54,560
And this happened in the Midwest
in a college.

331
00:19:54,560 –> 00:19:57,800
It was a seminary college, a
place where they teach young men

332
00:19:57,880 –> 00:20:01,160
to become preachers.
And they were studying this very

333
00:20:01,160 –> 00:20:04,320
little parable, the rich man and
the last, I mean, the Good

334
00:20:04,320 –> 00:20:07,160
Samaritan.
And so the the professor in the

335
00:20:07,160 –> 00:20:10,760
college class assigned two young
men in the class.

336
00:20:11,000 –> 00:20:14,200
He said, I want you to prepare a
paper on the story of the Good

337
00:20:14,200 –> 00:20:16,480
Samaritan.
We’re having a big assembly in

338
00:20:16,480 –> 00:20:19,160
the auditorium tonight, and you
have to come down to the

339
00:20:19,160 –> 00:20:22,840
auditorium and make a
presentation on this parable.

340
00:20:23,760 –> 00:20:25,400
Well, they were honored to be
picked.

341
00:20:25,640 –> 00:20:29,440
Now everybody lived on campus
and the campus, the dormitory is

342
00:20:29,440 –> 00:20:32,880
on one side of the campus and
the big auditorium is on the

343
00:20:32,880 –> 00:20:35,120
other side.
So they spent the afternoon

344
00:20:35,120 –> 00:20:39,640
working on this paper and then
at 7:00 they were supposed to be

345
00:20:39,640 –> 00:20:42,560
at the auditorium to give their
paper on the Good Samaritan.

346
00:20:42,960 –> 00:20:45,560
So they had studied, they knew
this story backwards and

347
00:20:45,560 –> 00:20:49,360
forwards, but one lived on one
side dormitory or that way, and

348
00:20:49,360 –> 00:20:50,720
one lived on dormitory over this
way.

349
00:20:51,040 –> 00:20:54,840
So the way from their rooms to
the auditorium was a footpath

350
00:20:55,080 –> 00:20:57,360
that took them to the
auditorium, but not the same 1.

351
00:20:57,960 –> 00:21:01,240
So they took two young men and
they made, they made them look

352
00:21:01,240 –> 00:21:04,520
like they’ve been beat up and
they got them down on the ground

353
00:21:04,520 –> 00:21:07,560
and they poured ketchup all over
them and they left them there

354
00:21:07,800 –> 00:21:10,960
lying still.
So these young boys on their way

355
00:21:10,960 –> 00:21:15,200
from their dormitory to the
class to the auditorium to give

356
00:21:15,200 –> 00:21:17,760
a talk on the Good Samaritan had
to go out by him.

357
00:21:19,840 –> 00:21:24,720
And you know what happened?
Both boys went around, the man

358
00:21:24,720 –> 00:21:29,040
lying on the ground because they
had to give a talk on the Good

359
00:21:29,040 –> 00:21:34,400
Samaritan and they left him
lying there and they had other

360
00:21:34,400 –> 00:21:38,840
people’s as he despised in the
bushes watching to see what they

361
00:21:38,840 –> 00:21:41,320
did.
Now that what’s the point?

362
00:21:41,720 –> 00:21:44,520
The point is it’s not enough to
know.

363
00:21:44,960 –> 00:21:47,200
To know and not to do is not to
know.

364
00:21:47,800 –> 00:21:50,120
Did they know the story?
Did you know how ended?

365
00:21:50,760 –> 00:21:53,080
Oh, they do it all.
Did they do it?

366
00:21:54,520 –> 00:21:57,880
No.
Now we need to bring that down

367
00:21:57,880 –> 00:22:01,920
to us to know the truth.
Is that perative?

368
00:22:01,920 –> 00:22:05,280
It’s important, but it’s not
enough.

369
00:22:05,400 –> 00:22:10,240
We have to try to live it.
And how do you live the truth?

370
00:22:11,000 –> 00:22:16,120
By the way you treat each other.
The only way you can show your

371
00:22:16,120 –> 00:22:21,360
love for God is by trying to
obey His commandments and

372
00:22:21,360 –> 00:22:26,800
showing Him you love Him by the
way you treat one another.

373
00:22:28,480 –> 00:22:29,920
And it’s a judgment seat of
Christ.

374
00:22:29,960 –> 00:22:35,720
We’re all going to be reminded
of what we did or did not do to

375
00:22:35,720 –> 00:22:39,440
show brotherly love.
And that was the opening verse.

376
00:22:39,440 –> 00:22:45,080
Be let brotherly love continue.
Are we doing it?

377
00:22:45,520 –> 00:22:49,600
Could we do better?
Well, of course we could.

378
00:22:50,280 –> 00:22:53,760
I hope you realize that when I
point a finger at you, 3 fingers

379
00:22:53,760 –> 00:22:57,360
point at me.
So we’re all in this together.

380
00:22:58,040 –> 00:22:59,480
I’ve never visited anybody in
prison.

381
00:22:59,480 –> 00:23:04,320
I went to visit prison was, but
I wasn’t, excuse me, I’m not

382
00:23:04,320 –> 00:23:07,440
visiting anybody I knew.
So I’m not done that.

383
00:23:09,360 –> 00:23:11,960
How thoughtful are we of each
other?

384
00:23:12,320 –> 00:23:15,840
How much do we think about what
can I do to make someone else’s

385
00:23:15,840 –> 00:23:19,960
burden a little lighter to help
another one along the way, to

386
00:23:19,960 –> 00:23:22,840
help to just a helping hand.
You know, you don’t have to

387
00:23:22,840 –> 00:23:27,920
carry somebody, just a helping
hand as you get older and you’re

388
00:23:27,920 –> 00:23:31,680
less steady on your feet.
Nobody has to pick me up.

389
00:23:32,040 –> 00:23:35,240
But a helping hand is greatly
appreciated, just steadies you a

390
00:23:35,240 –> 00:23:38,680
little bit along the way.
And we can do that with each

391
00:23:38,680 –> 00:23:42,960
other physically and, and and
and metaphorically.

392
00:23:43,120 –> 00:23:46,880
We, we always should be looking,
how can I help somebody else?

393
00:23:47,280 –> 00:23:51,480
What can I do to make someone
else’s burden lighter?

394
00:23:51,840 –> 00:23:55,920
You see this, this is not place
you just find one place in the

395
00:23:55,920 –> 00:23:58,800
Bible and there it is.
James says if her brother or

396
00:23:58,800 –> 00:24:01,760
sister be naked and destitute of
daily food and why are you

397
00:24:01,760 –> 00:24:05,400
saying departed peace be warmed
and filled, take care brother,

398
00:24:05,400 –> 00:24:08,200
you’ll be fine.
And you don’t do anything about

399
00:24:08,200 –> 00:24:11,800
it.
He says how can you?

400
00:24:11,800 –> 00:24:15,760
How can you do like that?
What does what prophet is that

401
00:24:15,760 –> 00:24:18,920
says James.
So so so James is on this

402
00:24:18,920 –> 00:24:21,400
subject.
James, the Hebrew writer writer

403
00:24:21,400 –> 00:24:23,360
is on this subject, Jesus on
this subject.

404
00:24:23,360 –> 00:24:26,080
And now John’s going to chime in
first John chapter 3.

405
00:24:26,640 –> 00:24:29,040
We know that we have passed from
death to life.

406
00:24:30,360 –> 00:24:32,120
How do we know that because we
love the brethren.

407
00:24:32,720 –> 00:24:35,320
That’s what John says you that’s
the way you know you pass from

408
00:24:35,320 –> 00:24:37,480
death to life because you love
each other.

409
00:24:38,400 –> 00:24:40,200
He would not love his brother
abides in death.

410
00:24:40,640 –> 00:24:42,520
So if you don’t love your
brother, you’re you’re doomed

411
00:24:43,280 –> 00:24:45,160
and and and and love has to be
action.

412
00:24:45,160 –> 00:24:48,840
So it means you have your doing.
Whoever hates his brother, he’s

413
00:24:48,840 –> 00:24:50,080
a murderer.
And you know that no murderer

414
00:24:50,080 –> 00:24:51,520
has the eternal life abiding in
him.

415
00:24:52,240 –> 00:24:54,640
By this we know love.
Here’s a here’s a test.

416
00:24:55,120 –> 00:24:57,040
Because he laid down his life
for us.

417
00:24:58,320 –> 00:25:01,280
We ought to lay down our lives
for our brethren.

418
00:25:02,080 –> 00:25:03,360
We’re going to take these
emblems.

419
00:25:03,360 –> 00:25:06,840
He, he died for us.
He can’t do more than that.

420
00:25:07,200 –> 00:25:09,760
He gave everything he had his
life.

421
00:25:10,480 –> 00:25:13,080
How much are you giving of
yourself for others?

422
00:25:13,800 –> 00:25:17,000
You see, God doesn’t ask you to
sacrifice your life literally

423
00:25:18,000 –> 00:25:21,000
for another.
He asks you to to sacrifice your

424
00:25:21,000 –> 00:25:24,960
life by pleasing others instead
of yourself.

425
00:25:25,720 –> 00:25:27,680
Am I warm and full?
Am I happy?

426
00:25:29,080 –> 00:25:31,960
Forget yourself.
Go help someone else be warm and

427
00:25:31,960 –> 00:25:35,720
filled and happy.
And so here we are.

428
00:25:36,480 –> 00:25:41,080
Time is getting away and we’ve
only gotten to a couple 3 verses

429
00:25:41,080 –> 00:25:46,320
or so of the book of chapter 13
of the book of Hebrews.

430
00:25:47,000 –> 00:25:49,800
So we’ll move down to another
couple more chapters and a

431
00:25:49,880 –> 00:25:53,400
couple more verses because we
can’t possibly short time.

432
00:25:53,400 –> 00:25:55,080
A lot of this.
And that was a short chapter

433
00:25:55,080 –> 00:25:58,200
too.
It’s every page of the Bible,

434
00:25:58,200 –> 00:26:00,200
really.
There’s so much exertation.

435
00:26:00,480 –> 00:26:02,480
Even sometimes when you think a
thing, it doesn’t have any

436
00:26:02,480 –> 00:26:03,960
exertation.
It’s it’s there.

437
00:26:04,320 –> 00:26:06,280
So don’t miss doing your
readings every day.

438
00:26:06,280 –> 00:26:11,440
It’s so terribly important.
So down in verse 5 of this same

439
00:26:11,440 –> 00:26:14,560
chapter, we just read it.
Keep your life free from the

440
00:26:14,560 –> 00:26:18,000
love of money and be content
with what you have.

441
00:26:18,080 –> 00:26:20,720
You know, the world teaches us
today to be discontent with what

442
00:26:20,720 –> 00:26:22,760
we have.
They always want you to have

443
00:26:22,760 –> 00:26:24,240
more.
Whatever you have.

444
00:26:24,240 –> 00:26:26,040
You want a bigger 1A, better 1A,
newer 1.

445
00:26:28,040 –> 00:26:30,720
And that’s the way the economy
of this world works.

446
00:26:31,280 –> 00:26:33,480
And Bible says be content with
what you have.

447
00:26:35,440 –> 00:26:37,600
Are you content?
Are you thankful for the

448
00:26:37,640 –> 00:26:39,160
blessings you have?
And then are you willing to

449
00:26:39,160 –> 00:26:42,920
share them with others?
He said, I won’t, you know,

450
00:26:42,920 –> 00:26:45,120
listen these words, this, this,
we read this already.

451
00:26:47,000 –> 00:26:48,760
I will never fail you nor
forsake you.

452
00:26:50,120 –> 00:26:56,400
God won’t ever forsake you
unless you forsake him first.

453
00:26:58,720 –> 00:27:01,200
When ASA was the king, the
prophet came to ASA.

454
00:27:01,200 –> 00:27:03,640
He says, the Lord be with you
while you be with him.

455
00:27:04,320 –> 00:27:07,680
And if you seek him, you’ll be
found of him.

456
00:27:08,600 –> 00:27:11,360
But if you forsake him, he’ll
forsake you.

457
00:27:13,080 –> 00:27:16,840
So it’s it’s an if question.
The Lord will never leave us if

458
00:27:16,840 –> 00:27:21,120
we never leave him.
One person said if you don’t

459
00:27:21,120 –> 00:27:26,720
feel close to God who moved, he
will never move away from you.

460
00:27:26,760 –> 00:27:29,760
If you don’t want to be feel
close to God, you can move away

461
00:27:29,760 –> 00:27:33,280
from him and he will be sad, but
he’ll let you do it.

462
00:27:34,040 –> 00:27:36,440
When Jesus said some hard
sayings and some went back, this

463
00:27:36,440 –> 00:27:37,600
is a hard saying.
Who can hear it?

464
00:27:37,800 –> 00:27:41,880
They’re out of there.
They left him, Jesus turned his

465
00:27:41,880 –> 00:27:43,560
disciples.
Are you going to go away too?

466
00:27:44,760 –> 00:27:47,400
Dear beloved Peters, Lord, to
whom shall we go?

467
00:27:47,960 –> 00:27:49,320
You have the words of eternal
life.

468
00:27:49,440 –> 00:27:53,040
There’s no place to go except to
Jesus, to God.

469
00:27:54,080 –> 00:27:59,600
But you see, people do go away
and the love of money has caused

470
00:27:59,600 –> 00:28:04,040
many of them to go away because
he says here, keep your life

471
00:28:04,040 –> 00:28:06,880
free from the love of money.
And then in Timothy, Paul says

472
00:28:06,880 –> 00:28:10,640
to Timothy, I like to ask people
did does the Bible say that

473
00:28:10,920 –> 00:28:12,360
money is the root of all evil
people?

474
00:28:12,360 –> 00:28:14,600
Oh, yeah, it does.
I said, no, it doesn’t.

475
00:28:16,080 –> 00:28:17,600
It just you will never find
that.

476
00:28:17,600 –> 00:28:20,520
But what do you mean?
It’s the love of money.

477
00:28:21,520 –> 00:28:24,040
She is only one people, people
who love money more than rich

478
00:28:24,040 –> 00:28:26,960
people.
And that’s poor people, which

479
00:28:27,000 –> 00:28:29,560
means everybody loves money in
the world.

480
00:28:29,720 –> 00:28:33,560
And we’re to be different.
We’re thankful that God is

481
00:28:33,560 –> 00:28:37,440
blessed with some of it.
But are you using it to serve

482
00:28:37,440 –> 00:28:40,440
Him?
How much of you holding back for

483
00:28:40,440 –> 00:28:42,480
a rainy day?
It’s raining.

484
00:28:43,600 –> 00:28:45,400
In regards to your point, it’s
raining right now.

485
00:28:45,920 –> 00:28:47,520
Christ, Christ, Christ is almost
here.

486
00:28:47,920 –> 00:28:49,480
It’d be too late to give away
your money.

487
00:28:50,040 –> 00:28:52,840
When the Lord has come, you
won’t need it in the bank, and

488
00:28:52,840 –> 00:28:55,200
He doesn’t want it.
So use it now.

489
00:28:55,240 –> 00:28:59,600
Use it for the Lord, because
money doesn’t bring happiness.

490
00:28:59,600 –> 00:29:03,600
It helps you to be miserable and
with comfort, but it does not

491
00:29:03,600 –> 00:29:08,080
bring happiness.
So, because in Timothy he says

492
00:29:08,680 –> 00:29:11,240
that the love of money is the
root of all evil.

493
00:29:11,720 –> 00:29:14,200
Through this craving some have
wandered away from the faith and

494
00:29:14,200 –> 00:29:19,800
pierced themselves through with
many pangs, many sorrows, many

495
00:29:19,800 –> 00:29:25,480
Greece, other translations.
So if we’re only trying to

496
00:29:25,480 –> 00:29:30,320
accumulate for ourselves, we
will be indeed miserable people.

497
00:29:30,960 –> 00:29:33,680
But when you forget about
yourself and think about how to

498
00:29:33,680 –> 00:29:40,560
help others, as a byproduct you
become happy because there’s

499
00:29:40,560 –> 00:29:44,680
happiness in helping other
people and thinking of them

500
00:29:44,680 –> 00:29:49,760
first.
And so godliness with

501
00:29:49,760 –> 00:29:52,480
contentment is great gain.
We brought nothing into this

502
00:29:52,480 –> 00:29:54,800
world.
You can carry nothing out.

503
00:29:55,800 –> 00:29:58,840
Having a food agreement.
Let us be there with content.

504
00:29:59,640 –> 00:30:02,120
Contentment with godliness is
great gain.

505
00:30:02,680 –> 00:30:05,080
We should be happy.
We should be contented because

506
00:30:05,440 –> 00:30:08,400
we trust in God.
He will take care of us.

507
00:30:08,840 –> 00:30:11,760
But we have to share the
blessings that God has given to

508
00:30:11,800 –> 00:30:18,400
us with others.
And so we have just touched a

509
00:30:18,400 –> 00:30:24,160
few little spots here in the
book of Hebrews chapter 13.

510
00:30:24,680 –> 00:30:28,720
We started off by listening to
the writer tell us to let

511
00:30:28,720 –> 00:30:32,640
brotherly love continue.
Keep on loving your brothers and

512
00:30:32,640 –> 00:30:35,160
sisters.
How you going to do it?

513
00:30:35,760 –> 00:30:39,520
You have to do something.
Just loving him and doing

514
00:30:39,520 –> 00:30:40,840
nothing is not really loving
him.

515
00:30:40,960 –> 00:30:43,720
That’s what the scripture tells.
So it means that you’re active

516
00:30:43,720 –> 00:30:47,360
doing something.
So think what you can do.

517
00:30:48,480 –> 00:30:52,000
We all can’t do the same things.
And as you get older, there’s

518
00:30:52,000 –> 00:30:54,080
less things you can do than when
you could when you were younger.

519
00:30:54,480 –> 00:30:56,080
But there’s something you can
do.

520
00:30:57,160 –> 00:31:00,000
A cup of cold water.
We all can do that.

521
00:31:00,520 –> 00:31:04,440
Even if you buy a case of waters
and carry them in your trunk and

522
00:31:04,440 –> 00:31:07,720
give them out to people that you
know that are thirsty, in the

523
00:31:07,720 –> 00:31:10,440
name of God you won’t lose your
reward.

524
00:31:12,360 –> 00:31:16,840
And so remember that you have an
Angel.

525
00:31:18,120 –> 00:31:21,360
He’s watching you everyday.
Will you ever seen him or not?

526
00:31:21,760 –> 00:31:23,440
I can’t tell you you have or
haven’t.

527
00:31:24,040 –> 00:31:26,800
I sometimes felt he must have
been there because I came

528
00:31:26,800 –> 00:31:30,120
through a pretty tight spot and
believe he delivered me.

529
00:31:31,600 –> 00:31:35,160
But whether he he, I saw him or
not, he’s there.

530
00:31:36,000 –> 00:31:40,280
And you have one.
And treat him with respect and

531
00:31:40,280 –> 00:31:41,920
make sure that you don’t do
anything.

532
00:31:42,520 –> 00:31:45,280
It would make an Angel ashamed
to be with you.

533
00:31:46,640 –> 00:31:50,520
And so we’re just going to let
the writers of the Hebrews close

534
00:31:50,520 –> 00:31:54,160
our exhortation because his
words are better than any words

535
00:31:54,160 –> 00:31:57,120
that we could make.
And so we’re going to read from

536
00:31:57,120 –> 00:32:00,320
the closing words of this
wonderful little book.

537
00:32:01,680 –> 00:32:08,440
And these words, these words
spoken and written so long ago,

538
00:32:09,600 –> 00:32:16,600
apply to us this morning.
May the God of peace, who’s the

539
00:32:16,600 –> 00:32:19,800
but through the blood of the
earth, eternal covenant brought

540
00:32:19,800 –> 00:32:23,440
back from the dead, our Lord
Jesus, the Great Shepherd of the

541
00:32:23,440 –> 00:32:32,720
sheep, equip you with every good
for doing His will, and may He

542
00:32:32,720 –> 00:32:37,080
work in us what is pleasing in
him through Jesus Christ, to

543
00:32:37,400 –> 00:32:38,960
whom be glorious forever and
ever.

544
00:32:40,000 –> 00:32:57,600
Amen.
