   Told the Lamb of God for Alfred N Paul England, Alfred. Good morning to everyone, the notes you have. Before you contain only a small fraction of of what I want to say in the course of these talks, if God be willing, and what I. Have to say constitutes. Only a very small fraction of all that might be said about the work of the Lord Jesus Christ. About the work of the Lord.

2. 0:31

   Jesus Christ. Leading up to and culminating upon his cross the Witch. If I can borrow a praise from John’s Gospel. The things which the. Lord did. If they should be written, everyone, I suppose even the world itself could not contain the books that should be. Written.

3. 0:52

   They have been reminded that when I first came here some decades ago, the topic which was then accepted for the second Idlewild Bible school from me was Meditations on the Cross.

4. 1:08

   Two things have happened since then. One is that the decades have ruled by and our memories are not perfect. And the 2nd is. That I’ve. Done a good deal more meditating. So what has to be offered now will certainly have a lot in common with what I said at that time, for those of you who remember, but I hope will involve some measure of growth in an understanding of this tremendous topic. I want to draw two things from things I’ve already said during this week 1 to a young people’s class and the other to last Sunday morning’s Bible class here, and I hope I may be forgiven for the repetition to the young people’s class. I recorded the.

5. 1:52

   Opening words of a confession of faith by two different people when they were asked why they wanted to be baptized. The first was well. That’s the way to eternal life and that’s where I want to go. No 3 guesses that to. My shame was me. And the other was to a young person who had not been brought up in a Christadelphian background, who made known to the sister who had instructed her that she wanted to be baptized.

6. 2:22

   And when she was asked and why do you want to be baptized? She answered. When I think. Of the Lord Jesus. Christ hanging in agony upon His cross, and I know that was done for me. Something has to be. Done about that.

7. 2:39

   How I could wish in God’s grace that I? Had thought of that? When they asked. Me. Why I wanted to be baptized, but I thought. About it, since out of the mouth of that particular babe and suckling great wisdom came for the instruction of us all. A further general comment. I don’t know whether if you look down your ecclesial programs of Sunday public addresses, you would find the cross of Christ figuring largely. I hope so, but I don’t expect.

8. 3:12

   So. I don’t know whether you divided up. The things that are discussed you would find. That a lot of. Attention is given to the second coming of the Lord, as it should be. A good deal? Of attention is given us to when he will come back. Which has. Over the years had its embarrassments there. Is a good deal of time.

9. 3:36

   We’ve devoted to. Seeking to divide who it is. Who will come down to take a spoil to take a prey? In the land of. Unwalled villages with fluctuating conclusions concerning which we are currently very much in the melting pot and that very, very. Little. They said about the. Cross of Christ. Some few years ago, I had to go to Norway on behalf of the Bible mission to begin the recent Christadelphian preaching in that country.

10. 4:06

    And while I was there, I bought a Norwegian Bible. I bought a cheap one. And I hadn’t noticed how it was bound. But when I got back, some brother called attention to the image that was emblazoned on the front and he said ah. Got the. Sign of the beast on it. I see it was a cross and some young member of a Christadelphian household came to me. And he.

11. 4:34

    Too saw that inscription on the front of my Bible and he said. Oh, we don’t. Believe in the cross. Do we, Uncle? Well, we do, don’t we? And I would like this morning to spend a good deal of attention in showing how very important. It is to believe in it.

12. 4:54

    I seem to remember that, Paul said. God forbid that I. Should glory saving the. Cross of Jesus Christ. My Lord, by which the world has been crucified unto me and. I am to the world.

13. 5:12

    I seem to remember on one occasion he walked to Mr. Sophisticated Town where many of them there? Would have known much more about Greek philosophy than any of us know, and perhaps even than Paul than learned Paul would have known. But he wasn’t. Prepared to compete? Who knew more or? Most about the things in the world around them.

14. 5:31

    Paul did not. Care and he said. I determined to know nothing. Among you save Jesus Christ, and him crucified Jesus Christ. And him crucified.

15. 5:45

    That same Apostle Paul wrote about himself. I have been crucified with Christ. Nevertheless, I live. And yet, no longer I but Christ. Liveth in me. And that same Apostle Paul. Wrote to you and me. There that our Christ have crucified the flesh. With the. Affections and lusts thereof. So whatever part the cross.

16. 6:13

    Praise in our preaching. In our excitation in our study. And in our meditation it played a. Very large part, a central part. Indeed, if I may call in its own. Phrase a crucial. Part in the thinking of the believers of. Those days. The cross well, the. Crossroads where human thought came to a stop and.

17. 6:39

    Contemplated the wisdom of God. And thought about itself. And pride retired, discomfited, and humility. Mounted the place. Side by side. With where the Lord? Hung in agony, and said, Lord, Remember Me when thou comest in thy Kingdom.

18. 6:58

    There is no. Such topic as this. To keep us humble if that is where we are. To make us humble if. We are not there. To restore. Us to humility. We have straight away. And make us glory in nothing save what has God has. Done for us. And in nothing that we think we have done for ourselves.

19. 7:24

    And now to take up what was the topic of a talk last Sunday. But briefly, I want you to picture before your minds the River Jordan, but John the Baptist standing there, having performed his mission of baptism upon publicans extortionate. Tax collectors, that is. Pilots. We call them prostitutes. Today. And sinners of all. Kinds who were willing.

20. 7:52

    But to. Fulfil this simple condition. That they would go to John and confess their sins before they could be baptized by him in Jordan when John. Stood there with two of his disciples. Those two must have. Been two of those. Many who had. Accepted his baptism.

21. 8:13

    And we don’t know that. Stage know anything against. Them. If we learn things later, which make us? Realize how human John the brother of James. Was but if. As we suspect, Andrew was no better than. Human. Then those. Two were men who would see that, gentle though their sins might have been. Good though their public.

22. 8:35

    Reputation might have been. They like the. Publicans and the. Harlots were sinners and should be baptized. With the baptism of John. So there had been. And so had someone else some days. Before, some weeks before. I think it would have been, probably not. Less, but not much. More than six weeks before, John had conducted another baptism. And while the publicans and the harlots were flocking. To him and the.

23. 9:09

    Pharisees were standing aloof with superior. Gaze and contemptuous glance there came to John, to Jordan, Jesus of Nazareth. To be baptized by him. If we had to take this meaning, exactly what it? Says the words of John chapter one, then when John later. Six weeks later, says. I knew him not. We were supposed that he. Did not at.

24. 9:37

    Once recognize the person who came to. Be baptized, he might not have done. They might never have met up to now. Elizabeth, John’s mother, had been in the hill. Country in the wilderness and. She had not met. Mary the Mother. Of the Lord at that time. And perhaps during the whole. Period. Since. John was in the.

25. 10:00

    Desert until the day of his showing unto Israel. But now they met. For the first time. Perhaps when Jesus came to Jordan to John. To be baptized by him. Would you look with me at the? Circumstances in Matthew. Chapter 3.

26. 10:23

    The earlier verses up to verse 13 have been devoted to describing John’s general mission. Preparing the Word of the Lord and the people Who. Came to him and the sinners who repented, and the. People who? Would not repent to whom? John warned that this. Might be their last opportunity. For behold, the axe was laid at the root of the tree, and if the people did not repent, then the tree they represented would be cut down. And in that partly.

27. 10:47

    Penitent, partly hostile community. Came the Lord Jesus. Christ and we read verse 13. Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan. And to John to be baptized of him, but John would have hindered him saying. I have need to be. Baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?

28. 11:10

    How did he know? That he had need to be. Baptized by this one, whom he later confesses, I knew him not, but he that said unto me, upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending like a dove it. Is he that shall. Baptize with the Holy Spirit. How did John? Who had not yet. Had that experience know?

29. 11:28

    That the relationship between Jesus. And himself was such. That better. Than would be better the other way. Round but his. Character can bed. With the Lord’s. Character would make. Him, the Suppliant, the. Penitent, the confessor of sins, and Jesus. Christ the receiver. The baptizer? The conveyor of grace?

30. 11:48

    I don’t know. It could just be that the very. Demeanour of Jesus marked him out from the shamefaced. Blushes of the Pharisee, of the publicans and the Harlots. It could. Just be that. John knew something that we don’t know in a way. We don’t know about, but it is not. Quite true that he and Jesus. Had not met before.

31. 12:14

    They had met. 30 years before. Before either of them was born. And. Elizabeth having, but lately been given the power to bear a child by that quickening of her. Womb and of the. Powers of Zacharias. Which God had given her, encountered Mary the Mother. Of the Lord Jesus, but lately the subject. Of the Holy Spirit’s action and when they came together, Elizabeth. Said.

32. 12:42

    Whence is it that? The mother of my. Lord is coming to me. For when the child that. Is in me. Saw thy coming, it leapt in my. Womb for joy. So in some way. Quite unknown to us. Even the unborn, John. Responded to the presence of the majesty of the Son of God.

33. 13:06

    And if the unborn John could do? That then John the Baptiser. At the age of 30 plus. With no prejudices to warn him against. The Lord Jesus coming might. Within himself somehow have. Perceived that. This was one. Greater than he, as he had said, the latches of whose shoes he was not worthy to unloose, and so. I have.

34. 13:28

    Need to be baptized of thee, said John. It would have been so. Tempting to accept the words of John at their face value. And agree and retire. And decide. Not to be baptized. He would have come so naturally. To me, had I been there and had John, which he could not have done, said such a thing to me.

35. 13:47

    To say. Yes, he’s right, isn’t he? All those being. Baptized are sinners in. One way or another, gross sinners coarse, sinners rapacious. Sinners, but sinners every. One of them. And that’s for me. I have done done no sin. I shouldn’t need. To be baptized should I? John’s humble. Abdication might well have. Appealed to any pride that could have. Influenced the work.

36. 14:15

    Of the Lord Jesus Christ. And turned him away. From baptism. Not the Lord we know. That was not his way. It’s quite evidence there was a. Struggle of will between John who said I shouldn’t baptize you, and withstood him, which seems. To be a very. Powerful withstanding. And the Lord’s statement suffer it to be so now.

37. 14:38

    For thus it’s. Becometh us to fulfil. All righteousness. From which he would. Not move. In his subservience to his God and his Father. So John gave way.

38. 14:53

    And the Lord was. Baptized. And he went down into the. Water and as he came. Out of the water, so. This record in Matthew which I have been. Paraphrasing tells us the. Spirit of heaven God descended from heaven in the shape of a dove, and a voice was heard saying. This is my beloved. Son in whom I am well pleased

39. 15:15

    there’ll be more. To say about that and. Similar divine declarations later. But for all. We know about the omnipotence of God and his knowing things from the beginning and the fact. That he wouldn’t be. Aware of what Jesus Christ was going. To do if I. As a son in relation to my own now.

40. 15:32

    Deceased father can remember rightly. That I as a. Father, in relation to my own now grown sons, can assess the way I. Felt. I think there was in him for all his concealment there was in me for. Whatever I may have. Reacted. A glow of. Pleasure when my son said to me or. I said to him.

41. 15:55

    We would. Like to be baptized? And God’s foreknowledge. Is not a hinder. To to his feelings. His awareness of what will. Happen does not. Make him simply. Mechanically turn over the leaf of A. Diary, when something happens, he too feels what is going on.

42. 16:16

    And I. Have no doubt that when the Lord Jesus Christ had humbly. Accepted his baptism and. Came up to complete that and was received. By the greeting of the spirit of. God from heaven. In the shape of a dove, then the voice. That said, from heaven, this is my beloved Son, in whom I am well.

43. 16:34

    Pleased was saying. In my vernacular, well done, my son. I’m very. Pleased with you for what you’ve done. In the sort of way, my father. Would have said to me. And with the same joy and John looked on. He had done. The thing he would. Not wish to do. He had accepted the grace he.

44. 16:58

    Shrugged his shrank from. He had touched the. Body of the Son of God, and baptized him and now. God has said what? A great thing that condescension was and John. Knew him now.

45. 17:10

    And the Lord was taken away, driven. Says mark by the. Spirit of God into the. Wilderness and during. Therefore the 40. Days, I have referred to the temptation which must. Arise. Later in this series. Of talks today, an emerging triumphant. Not having sinned. You know there. Are some words that ring untrue. I said.

46. 17:40

    Triumphant, although it wasn’t the right. Word to say, just to awaken you. And me to the way in which Jesus did emerge from everything. He never triumphed. He never. Adopted A triumphant attitude.

47. 17:53

    What he did was obey and work. And love and Labour. And serve and supper and die and all to the glory. Of his father. And the manner in which he endured the temptations. In the woodless was. Our same kind. Man does not live by bread alone. I will not tempt the Lord. Thy God thus. Worship the Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve. He came from a.

48. 18:16

    Victorious encounter with those. Temptations with his humble. Obedience to God intact, unchallenged. By the pride or lust or desire or ambition of man. And he came back to Jordan, and John saw. Him from afar. And as John. Chapter One. Tells us, he said. To his two disciples. Behold the Lamb of God.

49. 18:45

    That taketh away the sin of the. World the title. Of this first talk. And then again a little later, behold the Lamb of God and the two disciples, John the brother of James. And Andrew, we leave them to have been. Went and followed Jesus and said. Rabbi, where dwelleth thou? And were taken to his temporary. Home by him who had no home.

50. 19:10

    Worse off than the birds of the. Air and the foxes of their in their holes and had their first. Application of his teaching, but John spoke. Andrew and. John, the brother of the brother of. James Heard and who else? Heard Jesus was sharp of hearing

51. 19:35

    he. Could tell what people were saying when they were walking a good way. Behind and. Conversing secretly amongst themselves, hoping the Lord wouldn’t. Know he could when they came. To him. Say what? Was that you were disputing? With you, by the way. I’m sure you could have told them the answer. He was aware of was in the hearts. Of men before they spoke the Lord. Knew what was.

52. 19:55

    In men and if. John the Baptist. Voice would not be. Audible as a voice. I have no. Doubt the Lord would have apprehended. What he said because. He was the Lord with such powers. Belonging to him. So suppose now. You had been walking. By.

53. 20:16

    And John had pointed at you. And he had said that you had heard him. Behold the Lamb of God. What thoughts would have gone through your mind?

54. 20:31

    Suppose he had said. Behold the love of God that taketh away the sin of the world. What additional? Thoughts would have. Pierced your mind, wounded, your thinking given. Voice to the anxiety. You were already. Feeling and made you. Look at the future. And see at. Least as clearly. As you had ever seen. What it was that?

55. 20:55

    Was in store for you. Behold the love of God. Said John. When they were going to sacrifice a lamb in old. Testament times and especially. Under the injunction. That they must not. Sacrifice a lamb with. Blemish that. They must pick out from their. Flocks. One that seemed to them to be flawless. In all its characteristics you can.

56. 21:20

    Picture the shepherd. Going to his flock. And looking them over. And walking amongst them, and finally laying his hand on the head of one and saying. That, that’s the one I’ll take. And the Lord Jesus Christ walked among the multitudes. And John revealed in the simple. Words he used. That the Almighty. Had said that one. That’s the Lamb of God, and he knew it was himself to which reference was being made.

57. 22:00

    I don’t think it was the 1st. Time that that thought came into Jesus. Mind, I don’t know. Because we are not told as far as I’m. Aware when the first the Lord first. Apprehended his Messiah. Nick mission very early. I think it would have been but. There was at least something of it there when at the age of 12, he.

58. 22:19

    Disputed with the scribes in the temple in. Jerusalem. And his answer to his mother, Did you not know that I must be about? My father’s business. Would already. Reveal that he knew. Who his father was. And that. It was his father’s work he was come to do. And whether at that age he saw the cross ahead of. Him I do not.

59. 22:36

    Know but. I think he knew it before John. Told him. He was already in his mind before it was made. Public by those very painful public words, behold the Lamb of God that taketh away. The sin of the world? Well, there’s no mistaking the import of the words Lambs. To take away. Slim sin were sacrificed. A lamb as an.

60. 22:59

    Offering was put. To death, John was. Saying that man is. Going to die for the sins of. The world I don’t. Even know how? Much John himself understood the words were played. Enough and it’s. Hard to understand any. Other meaning for them? And perhaps there is some other explanation of why John. In prison, in great unhappiness.

61. 23:22

    With no expectation of being. Delivered from the Headsman. ‘S acts sent messages. To the Lord saying. Art thou he that should come or look, we for another?

62. 23:33

    Well, at least at that time, I think even later. Perhaps. John understood or made us to understand that the. Purpose of God had Jesus dying for our sins according to the scriptures.

63. 23:50

    He knew the scriptures. Well, this Jesus did. He could stand up in the synagogue at Nazareth, and when they gave him the scrolls containing a part of the Old Testament to read, he could find the 61st. Chapter of Isaiah. You could read the words. The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me because he hath anointed. Me to.

64. 24:10

    Preach the Gospels. Of proclaimed deliverance to proclaim the. Opening of prisons and then. Having given the robe. Back and sat. Down, he could say. That means me this. Day. Is this scripture fulfilled? In your ears. And if he knew that, about the preaching of the. Gospel of peace. It is not possible to believe that he did not also know.

65. 24:36

    The route he must. Tread to bring that peace. As Paul would later write, he is our peace. Which had made both one and broken down the middle wall of partition. That was between us. He has made peace by the blood of his cross, Paul would write.

66. 24:58

    And I’m. Sure that Jesus saw. That when he stood. Up to read in the synagogue at Nazareth. When he sat. Down to preach. And maybe saw it yet more. Painfully when having preached. To them about the abounding grace of God to Gentiles as well as. Jews, they were angry. With him and they.

67. 25:16

    Took him out of their synagogue. And they took him to the brow of the hill. On which their city was built, and he would. Have cast him headlong.

68. 25:24

    They were not able to do more. Than that. Not then, for Jesus passed out. Of the midst. Of them and went his way. But there is one recurrent phrase in John’s Gospel. In particular, sometimes from the. Lips of the Lord. Sometimes from the pen of the writer, his art was not yet come. What I’d like to do with.

69. 25:46

    Thee mine are is not yet come. They are covers. They are. Is come. This is your. Hour and the power of darkness. And to all those. Measures of time yet to come. Close by at hand. And now? Happening, Jesus saw the. Passage of the time. That would lead him to his death upon the cross.

70. 26:15

    There are many. Other indications of that? Carefully through the words of Jesus from both early. Days till later days we see how evidently he was. Aware of what? Was in store for him.

71. 26:29

    Why do not your disciples fast? So the Pharisees and the. Disciples of John to him and the. Lord said in reply. Can the children of the? Bride chamber fast. While the bridegroom is with them. The hour is coming when the bridegroom. Shall be taken away from them.

72. 26:51

    And then shall they fast. In those days and. What else could he have met? Then that the. Course of their engagement. Would not run smooth. He and his bride. That there might. Be an expectation. Of an early union in the glories of the Kingdom, but it was not to be that. Way. All their hopes and their joys concentrated in the association. Of the Lord.

73. 27:16

    With his spiritual bride. Were to be postponed as they would see it. Until the bridegroom returned. From a long and. Painful journey. And the hour. Is coming when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them. It’s a quite instructive. Exercise to go through. All the passages in the Gospels where. The symbols of a.

74. 27:38

    Marriage. Are there like the great peace to which guests are invited and won’t? Come, and so those from the highways and the. Byways are brought in instead, like the 10 virgins 5 whom are wise and five are foolish. Like the Lord Jesus Christ as the. Bridegroom and John the Baptist as the best man. It’s a strange business.

75. 28:02

    You have the father of the bridegroom. You have the bridegroom. You have the marriage hall. You have the feast prepared. You have the guests. You never see the bride. Not in the Gospels. You have to. Keep on. Waiting while the. Bridegroom is lost. To sight in the. Darkness of his grave then emerges to new. Glory.

76. 28:28

    And then we begin to learn, slowly and painfully, but quite. Inexorably that at last there can be a bride and wise. For whom in symbol the Lord? Died for the church. And gave. Himself up for it? That he might purify to himself a holy church. Without spot or blemish. Zealous of good. Works are privileged at last in Ephesians to be brought.

77. 28:56

    Before the daylight and we are be. Being told that that. Is the first explicit statement that the bride has been found. And then, of course, the events March on to the expected glory. When John is told, come hit her, and I will show thee the bride the lamb’s wife, and the bride the. Lamb’s wife arranged.

78. 29:20

    In primed linen. Clean and white stands. By the side of. Her. Gloriously tired, resplendent Lord basking in the. Glory of his father. And only the. Eye of Remembrance knows that in the hands that hang down there are the marks of nails. And the feet so splendidly shod there. Are two more. Marks of two more nails and if it lies in the.

79. 29:45

    Purpose of. God to let the. Scar be assemble. Of his victory, there is somewhere a place still to be seen, where the spear pierced his side. And all that the Lord Jesus saw when. He said. Can the children of the Bride chamber? Fast when the bridegroom. Is with them and under the. Shadow of that pending. Cross the Lord walked his life,

80. 30:12

    not just there, alone. Every time he escaped. From death. And there were several of them. Every time they raised up. Stones to stone him. And either God stead. Their hands, so they couldn’t release the stone or the Lord. Disappeared from their sight and I don’t know which it was. The Lord. Saw the threat of death, perceived how tenuously his life. Hung upon the staid.

81. 30:36

    Anger of his enemies and. When he went out of the it’s them and walked on the other side of Jordan, or did all the other things that the Lord did to evade the imminent death. We see not. Just that for that. Moment he escaped, but that his eye had not yet come.

82. 30:53

    He was not shaking death. He was deferring. The time of death. Till the time. That God had appointed. And then he would. Resignedly die, he goes throughout his preaching, They will. Tell him he is Christ the. Son of the. Living God. And what does the Lord say in reply? The Son of Man. Must go into Jerusalem to be betrayed into the. Hands of citizen be put to death. And the third day rise again.

83. 31:23

    From that day on, began. Jesus to tell his disciples how? He must go to Jerusalem and the same. Repetition. We have once more. You want the chief? Places James and John do you in my Kingdom, are you? Able to be. Baptized with my baptism. To drink of my cup. To endure my sufferings. You say you are, then you shall.

84. 31:49

    But the best places? In my Kingdom is not mine to. Give that, my father. Will give to those. For whom he disappointed. In the meanwhile. Prepare yourselves for sufferings. Like mine. And the Lord. Stared his sufferings. Plainly in the place and knew they were to come and said. To the disciples. In return, when they were angry with James and John.

85. 32:11

    He That would be. Greatest among you. Let him be your minister even. As the son of man came, not. To be ministered until. But to. Minister and Give. His life a ransom for many.

86. 32:27

    Somewhere in the personal. Diary of the Lord Jesus Christ. In that non leather. Bound and ring united and. Carefully organized set of loose leaf. Sheets. We call an organizer in these days somewhere. In the. Immaterial diary that reminded. The Lord of his appointments.

87. 32:50

    There was a note against a certain. Day and night on AD whenever it was saying go and be crucified. It was not an appointment he. Couldn’t have broken.

88. 33:05

    It was an. Appointment he didn’t. Choose to break and. Every day of his. Waking life he was. Moving his steps nearer. To the time. But not before the time. The time but not. Later than the time. No anticipation and no. Postponement when he would. Come to the point where he. Must say this is your hour and the power of darkness. How grieved he must have been.

89. 33:34

    When his efforts to make that plain to his disciples. Founded upon their human incredulity and their desire. For glory without the shame, when he said with desire, I have desire to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.

90. 33:50

    This is my body. Which is? Given for sin, this cup is the new. Covenant in my blood. Shed for. Many for the remission of sins. How heightened his sorrow? Must have been when leaving 8 disciples sleeping in the rear. He took three. With him who slept. In their turn close by his place of agony, and he prayed without their noticing it. Father if it be.

91. 34:21

    Possible let this cup pass from me. Nevertheless, not my will. But thine be done. Yet he set his face steadfastly to go to Jerusalem, and at last they tried him, and they condemned him and they. Passed the verdict of death. Upon him and. The cross loomed. For him humanly inescapable. Now he was their prisoner, but he was their prisoner from choice. They could never have.

92. 35:04
