1
00:00:13,200 –> 00:00:15,300
Welcome to the good Christian
talks podcast.

2
00:00:15,300 –> 00:00:18,100
I’m Levi and I’m Chris.
Thank you so much for joining us

3
00:00:18,100 –> 00:00:22,800
this week on this podcast.
We select one taco week to help

4
00:00:22,900 –> 00:00:26,600
each one of us get the Bible in
our daily news feed.

5
00:00:27,500 –> 00:00:29,600
We post at the start of each
week for you to listen.

6
00:00:30,000 –> 00:00:32,500
With a short intro before hand
to kind of set the stage for the

7
00:00:32,500 –> 00:00:34,300
talk.
You’re about to hear and now

8
00:00:34,300 –> 00:00:35,800
let’s hear more about this
week’s talk.

9
00:00:46,600 –> 00:00:49,200
For a talk this week.
We’re listening to a class that

10
00:00:49,200 –> 00:00:50,700
was given by Brother Harry
tenant.

11
00:00:51,000 –> 00:00:54,300
Not exactly sure what you’re was
but obviously it was a few years

12
00:00:54,300 –> 00:00:59,600
back this class which is titled
the atonement in daily life

13
00:01:00,300 –> 00:01:03,500
might be the one of the most
requested classes that I’ve

14
00:01:03,500 –> 00:01:06,600
gotten at least anecdotally.
We’ve had a couple different

15
00:01:06,600 –> 00:01:10,600
people right in via email or
social media suggesting it in a

16
00:01:10,607 –> 00:01:13,300
couple people have given us the
class directly, but the number

17
00:01:13,300 –> 00:01:15,900
of people that I’ve said when
we’re just sort of spitballing

18
00:01:15,900 –> 00:01:18,400
about Topics they’re like, you
know, there’s this one class by

19
00:01:18,400 –> 00:01:20,600
Harry tenant on the atonement.
That is really good.

20
00:01:21,200 –> 00:01:23,300
I don’t remember what it’s
called exactly but you should

21
00:01:23,300 –> 00:01:28,800
find that in post that one.
So this is that class and in

22
00:01:28,800 –> 00:01:30,600
kind of typical Harry Style with
his class.

23
00:01:30,600 –> 00:01:35,100
He spends a lot of time in the
beginning kind of looking at why

24
00:01:35,100 –> 00:01:39,700
the topic matters and then after
that focuses on what the

25
00:01:39,700 –> 00:01:42,600
atonement is, and then finally
at the end it gives some really

26
00:01:42,600 –> 00:01:46,000
practical advice about how to
take the atonement once you

27
00:01:46,300 –> 00:01:49,100
Stand what it means and what it
is how it applies to our life

28
00:01:49,200 –> 00:01:52,900
and then taking that into
applications for how we should

29
00:01:52,900 –> 00:01:55,500
live our life and that if we
understand what the atonement

30
00:01:55,500 –> 00:01:59,500
means for us how we should be
behaving toward each other and

31
00:01:59,500 –> 00:02:03,700
toward Ecclesia has as a whole
he had a really really good

32
00:02:03,700 –> 00:02:08,199
point that how often do we when
we’re praying or when we’re at

33
00:02:08,199 –> 00:02:12,100
meeting pray for the other
occasions around us instead of

34
00:02:12,108 –> 00:02:14,600
just focusing on the people that
are in the room with us.

35
00:02:15,100 –> 00:02:16,200
He made some really interesting
points.

36
00:02:16,300 –> 00:02:18,100
With that it’s a really powerful
class.

37
00:02:18,100 –> 00:02:22,000
It’s a good way to look at the
atonement and a good reminder

38
00:02:22,000 –> 00:02:26,600
that while the the the atonement
is something that is critically

39
00:02:26,600 –> 00:02:30,300
important, but because of the
different ways that the world

40
00:02:30,300 –> 00:02:34,100
and other other religions think
of the atonement that we have to

41
00:02:34,100 –> 00:02:36,700
be careful and make sure that we
have it locked solid in our mind

42
00:02:36,700 –> 00:02:39,200
because it governs so much of
the rest of our faith.

43
00:02:40,000 –> 00:02:41,500
So this was this was an awesome
class.

44
00:02:41,500 –> 00:02:45,000
I really enjoyed listening to it
another classic carry 10th class

45
00:02:45,000 –> 00:02:47,200
probably.
Like I said, one of the ones

46
00:02:47,200 –> 00:02:50,900
that I’ve heard from multiple
people recommending it as one

47
00:02:50,900 –> 00:02:52,900
for for us to post on the
podcast.

48
00:02:52,900 –> 00:02:57,000
So as always if you have
suggestions, as I said, this one

49
00:02:57,000 –> 00:02:58,700
has been suggested by multiple
people.

50
00:02:59,000 –> 00:03:02,300
Please send those in you know,
if they’re posted on your

51
00:03:02,300 –> 00:03:04,800
occlusal websites or their
expectations that you hear that

52
00:03:04,800 –> 00:03:06,800
you think are really good send
those to us.

53
00:03:06,800 –> 00:03:10,100
Send us the link so we can we
can find it and listen to it and

54
00:03:10,108 –> 00:03:13,800
we’ll share it with everybody
here, you know continue to share

55
00:03:13,800 –> 00:03:15,700
and review it.
It’s helpful.

56
00:03:16,300 –> 00:03:18,700
The listenership is growing
steadily.

57
00:03:18,700 –> 00:03:21,700
And it’s it’s always amazing to
see how many people are enjoying

58
00:03:21,700 –> 00:03:23,900
this.
So with that I’m going to turn

59
00:03:23,900 –> 00:03:26,700
it over to brother Harry tenant
for his class titled the

60
00:03:26,700 –> 00:03:34,100
atonement in daily life.
This subject has been a matter

61
00:03:34,100 –> 00:03:37,900
of great controversy and all
parts of the world ever since it

62
00:03:37,900 –> 00:03:41,000
happened.
That is the death of the Lord

63
00:03:41,000 –> 00:03:44,800
Jesus Christ.
It’s never been plain sailing in

64
00:03:44,800 –> 00:03:48,400
understanding and there have
always been people who said they

65
00:03:48,400 –> 00:03:53,900
understood it and that perfectly
and there have been those who

66
00:03:53,900 –> 00:03:56,700
have gone astray from an
understanding.

67
00:03:57,200 –> 00:04:00,200
Nobody understands it perfectly
to do that.

68
00:04:00,200 –> 00:04:05,600
You’ve got to be gone because
God is the reconciler and

69
00:04:05,600 –> 00:04:07,700
consequently.
Nobody will ever grasp.

70
00:04:07,700 –> 00:04:10,800
Holy that’s why when we think of
the atonement.

71
00:04:10,800 –> 00:04:12,800
We got all the figures of
scripture.

72
00:04:13,500 –> 00:04:19,100
Haven’t we all different kinds
of blood and The Ransom of body

73
00:04:19,100 –> 00:04:25,400
of Shepherd of sheep of altar of
sacrifice of priests and they’re

74
00:04:25,400 –> 00:04:29,100
all applying to this very
subject of the atonement.

75
00:04:29,500 –> 00:04:32,100
No, one of them will cover the
whole known as soon as you take

76
00:04:32,100 –> 00:04:35,100
one.
Then you make a mistake in your

77
00:04:35,100 –> 00:04:38,800
understanding.
Now, I’m pretty sure that there

78
00:04:38,800 –> 00:04:44,600
will be some of us here who are
fairly expert in the subject of

79
00:04:44,600 –> 00:04:49,500
the atonement and where I’m
going to give you a little test

80
00:04:50,100 –> 00:04:54,700
and then you can see how how
well you understand the subject.

81
00:04:55,300 –> 00:04:58,000
There are people still trying to
get in and so anybody with a

82
00:04:58,000 –> 00:05:00,300
seat next to them.
Please really put your hand up.

83
00:05:01,700 –> 00:05:04,100
Here we are.
We got at least 10 seats at

84
00:05:04,100 –> 00:05:05,800
least 10.
Keep your hand up.

85
00:05:07,200 –> 00:05:09,500
Don’t be afraid to come in.
You’re welcome was the flowers

86
00:05:09,500 –> 00:05:15,600
in Spring?
Thanks, we’ve succeeded so far.

87
00:05:15,600 –> 00:05:18,500
Thank you brother sis.
Right here.

88
00:05:18,500 –> 00:05:21,100
You are.
Here’s the test for you under

89
00:05:21,100 –> 00:05:26,100
then you’ll see how well you
understand the subject these by

90
00:05:26,100 –> 00:05:29,000
the way that I’m now going to
read out to you are some things

91
00:05:29,000 –> 00:05:33,000
that were brought to me and
several others at a meeting that

92
00:05:33,000 –> 00:05:37,800
we were at some time ago.
My sometime I mean just some

93
00:05:37,800 –> 00:05:42,700
weeks ago.
Is this statement true or false?

94
00:05:44,300 –> 00:05:50,100
Christ then being found in
fashion as a man and yet being

95
00:05:50,100 –> 00:05:55,600
sinless was a perfect sacrifice
because being the representative

96
00:05:55,600 –> 00:06:00,000
of human nature, he could meet
all the claims of God’s law upon

97
00:06:00,000 –> 00:06:05,600
that nature and yet triumph over
its operation by a resurrection

98
00:06:05,600 –> 00:06:10,200
to Immortal Life.
Is that true or false?

99
00:06:12,700 –> 00:06:16,500
You know, and I know it’s always
the same every and this is

100
00:06:16,500 –> 00:06:21,100
always the same the experts are
always the same.

101
00:06:21,200 –> 00:06:26,000
They are always hesitant.
As an interesting, isn’t it?

102
00:06:27,100 –> 00:06:28,800
Now some of you should not have
been hesitant.

103
00:06:28,800 –> 00:06:32,100
That’s Robert Roberts.
That’s Satan was Robert Roberts.

104
00:06:32,100 –> 00:06:33,700
Well, right.
We’ll try the next one and see

105
00:06:33,700 –> 00:06:39,100
what you feel.
The sinless Christ was made sin

106
00:06:39,100 –> 00:06:43,200
in taking upon himself the
effects of sin sharing the

107
00:06:43,200 –> 00:06:48,900
mortality that has come by sin
identified with the death, which

108
00:06:48,900 –> 00:06:51,500
is the lot of all the
descendants of that first

109
00:06:51,500 –> 00:06:55,000
sinner.
God made him thus that we might

110
00:06:55,000 –> 00:06:56,700
be made the righteousness of
God.

111
00:06:56,900 –> 00:07:02,200
In him that we the unrighteous
the Sinners might be regarded by

112
00:07:02,200 –> 00:07:07,600
God for his sake are sharing in
the righteousness of God true or

113
00:07:07,600 –> 00:07:13,100
false.
They is in trouble is you see

114
00:07:13,100 –> 00:07:19,000
now I might say false is in a
real says well you what a stupid

115
00:07:19,000 –> 00:07:21,800
thing to say, you know, or I
might say true and some people

116
00:07:21,800 –> 00:07:25,300
say all right.
Now, these are the most

117
00:07:25,300 –> 00:07:27,400
interesting interesting test
really, isn’t it?

118
00:07:27,400 –> 00:07:28,900
Well, that’s brother John
Carter.

119
00:07:31,200 –> 00:07:35,400
Like right isn’t a statement
number three the life of the

120
00:07:35,400 –> 00:07:42,400
race forfeited by Adam place the
whole of mankind in debt for the

121
00:07:42,400 –> 00:07:46,300
sum of One Life.
The bill was paid by the only

122
00:07:46,300 –> 00:07:51,600
man who had the price One Life
his own received at his birth

123
00:07:51,600 –> 00:07:56,600
new and free from the source of
all life and preserve by him by

124
00:07:56,600 –> 00:08:01,400
his perfect obedience until the
time came when he voluntarily

125
00:08:01,500 –> 00:08:10,100
gave it up as the price of our
deliverance. true or false folks

126
00:08:11,100 –> 00:08:13,600
you have you got everybody’s
quite sure.

127
00:08:15,000 –> 00:08:17,900
God I’m glad to hear that.
That’s the Nazarene statement

128
00:08:19,800 –> 00:08:22,400
number for them.
Do you want me to read some more

129
00:08:22,400 –> 00:08:25,500
of these?
Well, because I tell you why I’m

130
00:08:25,500 –> 00:08:29,800
reading about afterwards a
Christ himself is exhibited to

131
00:08:29,800 –> 00:08:34,200
us as coming under the
beneficial operation of his own

132
00:08:34,200 –> 00:08:38,900
death true or false.
Yes, Robert Robbins.

133
00:08:39,100 –> 00:08:43,700
All right.
Next Jesus submitted to the

134
00:08:43,700 –> 00:08:48,200
death of the Cross because he
chose voluntarily to Bear the

135
00:08:48,200 –> 00:08:54,100
penalty of sin to purchase us
back to God giving his life in

136
00:08:54,100 –> 00:08:58,500
place of the life lost in Eden
true or false.

137
00:09:00,000 –> 00:09:02,000
Oh you getting you getting more
courage now, aren’t you?

138
00:09:02,000 –> 00:09:03,900
Hey, all right.
Be careful.

139
00:09:03,900 –> 00:09:05,400
You don’t fall over the trip.
Now.

140
00:09:05,700 –> 00:09:07,600
You never know.
You’re quite right.

141
00:09:07,600 –> 00:09:11,700
It was false because that was
the statement made by Ernest

142
00:09:11,700 –> 00:09:18,000
Grady one of the people in the
Nazarene Fellowship next

143
00:09:18,300 –> 00:09:24,000
forgiveness and Reconciliation
God has provided by the offering

144
00:09:24,000 –> 00:09:28,700
of his son.
Those son of God he partook of

145
00:09:28,700 –> 00:09:34,800
the same nature the same flesh
and blood as all of us, but did

146
00:09:34,800 –> 00:09:37,200
no sin.
It is death.

147
00:09:37,500 –> 00:09:41,400
He voluntarily declared God’s
righteousness.

148
00:09:41,900 –> 00:09:46,200
God was honored and the flesh
shown to be by Divine

149
00:09:46,200 –> 00:09:49,900
appointment rightly related to
death.

150
00:09:53,200 –> 00:09:55,900
Where’s it from the energy
agreements?

151
00:09:55,900 –> 00:09:57,400
Vo?
Yeah II Bible.

152
00:09:57,600 –> 00:10:04,400
All right.
Yes, this slain lamb has been

153
00:10:04,400 –> 00:10:08,600
made a purification for the
whole world for which according

154
00:10:08,600 –> 00:10:13,200
to his father’s love to man.
He submitted to death purchasing

155
00:10:13,200 –> 00:10:17,900
us back by his own blood from
him who had got us into his

156
00:10:17,900 –> 00:10:23,700
power sold under sin.
Bit doubtful about that day.

157
00:10:24,900 –> 00:10:27,800
All right, not quite so sure.
What’d I tell you be doubtful

158
00:10:27,800 –> 00:10:31,600
about it is Oregon.
All right back in the 3rd

159
00:10:31,600 –> 00:10:39,500
Century ad who was a convert to
Christianity from being a

160
00:10:39,500 –> 00:10:44,500
philosopher a Greek philosopher.
And then when he came became a

161
00:10:44,600 –> 00:10:49,200
Christian within the definitions
that we just had then he began

162
00:10:49,200 –> 00:10:53,800
to weave into that teaching.
The philosophical ways that have

163
00:10:53,800 –> 00:10:56,800
been used to before and that’s
one of his statements.

164
00:10:57,900 –> 00:11:02,900
Christ was brought under the
curse of the law by the mode of

165
00:11:02,900 –> 00:11:08,900
his death brought under that
curse without fault and redeemed

166
00:11:08,900 –> 00:11:17,700
from it by Resurrection.
A couple of couple of truths

167
00:11:18,500 –> 00:11:20,400
right be quite right.
That is Robert Robbins.

168
00:11:23,000 –> 00:11:29,100
Sin separates us from God the
Forgiveness of sins brings

169
00:11:29,100 –> 00:11:34,800
reconciliation and the sun
brings us to God the death of

170
00:11:34,800 –> 00:11:39,700
Jesus established the conditions
upon which a radical change in

171
00:11:39,700 –> 00:11:42,600
our relationship to God is
affected.

172
00:11:48,600 –> 00:11:49,800
It is true.
That’s right.

173
00:11:49,800 –> 00:11:52,100
This is John Carter.
All right.

174
00:11:54,200 –> 00:11:57,300
I’m here.
Another one there could be no

175
00:11:57,300 –> 00:12:02,300
virtue in giving in the giving
up of his life if he wants a

176
00:12:02,300 –> 00:12:08,400
mere man, or he derived his life
in any way from the seed of Adam

177
00:12:09,000 –> 00:12:13,600
for all who derive life from
Adam lost it for in him.

178
00:12:13,700 –> 00:12:19,100
All sin the Christ in our flesh
could suffer the penalty and

179
00:12:19,100 –> 00:12:24,000
then redeem his brethren for he
had never But it is Life by

180
00:12:24,000 –> 00:12:27,900
personal transgression and his
life being independent of the

181
00:12:27,900 –> 00:12:30,300
race.
He could give it for a ransom.

182
00:12:31,600 –> 00:12:34,000
False.
Thank you Brethren, right you

183
00:12:34,000 –> 00:12:35,800
recognized it right away.
That’s Nazarene.

184
00:12:35,900 –> 00:12:40,100
No, that’s really the teaching
of Edward tourney 80-85.

185
00:12:40,100 –> 00:12:43,600
They’ve still Echoes around
sometimes in Queensland.

186
00:12:44,300 –> 00:12:46,800
All right, you see I’ve got
another here.

187
00:12:50,500 –> 00:12:55,200
All who approach God through
this crucified but risen

188
00:12:55,200 –> 00:12:59,300
representative of atoms
disobedient race are forgiven

189
00:12:59,700 –> 00:13:04,900
therefore by a figure.
His blood cleanses us from sin.

190
00:13:06,300 –> 00:13:11,000
True, right BASF.
That’s what it’s from.

191
00:13:12,000 –> 00:13:15,800
If Christ died instead of us.
Then we are not to die which we

192
00:13:15,800 –> 00:13:20,100
do and he paid the penalty
naturally do from us death.

193
00:13:20,600 –> 00:13:22,900
He ought not to have risen which
he did.

194
00:13:25,400 –> 00:13:29,500
True Robert Roberts, right?
Listen to this one.

195
00:13:29,500 –> 00:13:36,000
Then the object of his death was
not to appease the Ross Roth of

196
00:13:36,000 –> 00:13:39,300
offended deity.
But to express the love of the

197
00:13:39,300 –> 00:13:43,600
deity by abrogating the law of
sin and death through a full

198
00:13:43,600 –> 00:13:48,300
discharge of its claims in a
temporary surrender to its power

199
00:13:48,800 –> 00:13:52,800
and developing immortality by
Resurrection to Aid legally

200
00:13:52,800 –> 00:13:57,200
acquired possession of it in
trust for the obedient of atoms

201
00:13:57,200 –> 00:14:04,900
race.
Kind of a slight wave of of

202
00:14:06,200 –> 00:14:08,600
true.
That’s what we’re getting.

203
00:14:08,600 –> 00:14:13,200
Is it – from the Declaration?
All right.

204
00:14:14,700 –> 00:14:18,600
The last one God Supremacy
having been Vindicated a

205
00:14:18,600 –> 00:14:22,600
foundation has been laid on
which he can offer forgiveness

206
00:14:22,900 –> 00:14:26,100
without the compromise of wisdom
and righteousness.

207
00:14:26,600 –> 00:14:30,800
He does not offer it or allow it
apart from the submission to the

208
00:14:30,800 –> 00:14:34,500
Declaration of his righteousness
in Christ crucified.

209
00:14:35,300 –> 00:14:37,400
It is true.
We need it’s Robert Roberts

210
00:14:37,400 –> 00:14:39,600
there.
Oh, the reason I went through

211
00:14:39,600 –> 00:14:45,500
those is you see we can all
hesitate and we as taken away

212
00:14:47,000 –> 00:14:50,500
partly because of fear if you
had read them out or you are

213
00:14:50,508 –> 00:14:52,900
giving you the sheet and you
take it home, you know gone

214
00:14:52,900 –> 00:14:56,400
through it said true true false
true false, but there’s a sense

215
00:14:56,400 –> 00:15:00,600
of I wonder what he’ll think
then if I get it wrong the fact

216
00:15:00,600 –> 00:15:04,500
is when you go through that list
and if you do it quickly almost

217
00:15:04,500 –> 00:15:08,400
everybody gets something wrong.
Is he in this subject of the

218
00:15:08,400 –> 00:15:13,600
atonement?
I would say you probably

219
00:15:13,600 –> 00:15:18,900
disagree with this.
I would say that 90% of the

220
00:15:18,900 –> 00:15:24,700
Brethren and sisters in aulick
leisure’s do not fully

221
00:15:24,800 –> 00:15:29,300
understand the understan
mechanics, you know, Paul isn’t

222
00:15:29,300 –> 00:15:32,900
wheels and everything all that.
But if you were to go into

223
00:15:32,900 –> 00:15:36,500
detail and ask them to Define,
then you discover that there was

224
00:15:36,500 –> 00:15:39,700
great hesitancy apart from
routine wrote answers that are

225
00:15:39,708 –> 00:15:46,100
not their own.
The subject itself is an easy

226
00:15:46,100 –> 00:15:49,900
subject and a hard subject at
the same time.

227
00:15:51,200 –> 00:15:57,600
It’s easy in the sense that God
is bringing us to himself by his

228
00:15:57,600 –> 00:16:02,900
own method of Love through the
Lord Jesus Christ whilst at the

229
00:16:02,900 –> 00:16:07,400
same time demonstrating that we
are sinners and related to

230
00:16:07,400 –> 00:16:12,100
death.
And that only by confessing the

231
00:16:12,100 –> 00:16:15,500
righteousness of God in so
bringing death upon man in the

232
00:16:15,500 –> 00:16:19,300
beginning.
And the righteousness of Christ

233
00:16:19,400 –> 00:16:22,400
in rejecting it that we have
hope.

234
00:16:23,800 –> 00:16:27,900
So rather than this evening than
in going to arguments about this

235
00:16:27,900 –> 00:16:32,800
saw that and I’ve been through
them all and they vary from

236
00:16:32,800 –> 00:16:37,600
country to Country.
They vary from parts of the

237
00:16:37,600 –> 00:16:42,700
country to another part of the
country one so vast as Australia

238
00:16:42,700 –> 00:16:47,900
for example, and I’m not talking
about varying between two camps

239
00:16:47,900 –> 00:16:51,100
of people.
I’m talking about within those

240
00:16:51,100 –> 00:16:56,200
camps on both sides.
Then you discover differences.

241
00:16:57,100 –> 00:17:01,200
Now this in one sense, this is
lamentable in another sense.

242
00:17:01,400 –> 00:17:05,800
This is inevitable.
The reason is that the The

243
00:17:05,800 –> 00:17:11,200
subject of the atonement is such
that first of all.

244
00:17:12,500 –> 00:17:19,900
It is highly the subject.
between God and Christ and it’s

245
00:17:20,500 –> 00:17:23,900
highly the subject between
Christ and man.

246
00:17:25,500 –> 00:17:34,100
And then it’s highly the subject
between Christ. and me a my life

247
00:17:34,800 –> 00:17:40,200
a my sins are different from
your life and your sins. and the

248
00:17:40,200 –> 00:17:44,900
atonement was sufficient to
embrace all and in this

249
00:17:44,900 –> 00:17:50,500
therefore we can take hope our
catching each other out as it’s

250
00:17:50,500 –> 00:17:56,100
so easy to do then is not the
practice of Christ.

251
00:17:57,300 –> 00:18:03,500
How Christ underlined sin was by
righteousness, I’m not

252
00:18:03,500 –> 00:18:06,400
constantly by saying you’re
wrong, you know, you’ve got it

253
00:18:06,400 –> 00:18:10,900
wrong you what that right?
Very rarely was the Lord Jesus

254
00:18:10,900 –> 00:18:15,400
Christ doing this much rather
was he telling people the other

255
00:18:15,400 –> 00:18:19,800
side of the whole picture not
just telling them that they were

256
00:18:19,800 –> 00:18:23,900
wrong.
But how right God is in

257
00:18:23,900 –> 00:18:27,000
forgiving that wrong?
We nice leather mystery lies,

258
00:18:27,000 –> 00:18:30,300
isn’t it?
You know, we we sometimes wonder

259
00:18:30,300 –> 00:18:32,700
whether we should be with that
person or this person and we’re

260
00:18:32,700 –> 00:18:36,800
not very sure.
All I can say about that outlook

261
00:18:36,900 –> 00:18:43,100
on life is it’s not a Biblical
Outlook at all. not biblical you

262
00:18:43,100 –> 00:18:46,300
when you go through the letters
to the seven leak leisure’s they

263
00:18:46,300 –> 00:18:48,900
are never told to deal with the
other occasions.

264
00:18:51,000 –> 00:18:53,100
Inevitably there’s no word
saying you better watch

265
00:18:53,100 –> 00:18:55,400
laodicea.
It’s a bad lot.

266
00:18:55,600 –> 00:18:57,800
It’s on the way down and it’s on
the way out.

267
00:18:57,800 –> 00:19:00,300
And if you went there then it
would be awful.

268
00:19:00,500 –> 00:19:03,900
There is no such warning ever
given and we got to ask the

269
00:19:03,900 –> 00:19:06,300
question.
Why because this is the Lesser

270
00:19:06,300 –> 00:19:09,200
not from just by the spirit
through Paul.

271
00:19:09,200 –> 00:19:17,500
This is direct from whom not
from Christ. from God this is

272
00:19:17,500 –> 00:19:19,600
his Revelation.
That’s what it says on the first

273
00:19:19,600 –> 00:19:21,800
verse of Revelation the
Apocalypse.

274
00:19:22,800 –> 00:19:27,800
So that’s how God deals with the
matter and so in the end you see

275
00:19:28,200 –> 00:19:32,400
we were going to have Surprises
by by the score when the day

276
00:19:32,400 –> 00:19:36,400
comes and we shall not be
saying, you know, but when the

277
00:19:36,400 –> 00:19:38,900
day comes I told you it was
sunny.

278
00:19:38,900 –> 00:19:44,900
I shall we we should be
wondering whether in fact we are

279
00:19:44,900 –> 00:19:46,400
to enter into the kingdom of
God.

280
00:19:48,100 –> 00:19:51,700
And you will not have the
Judgment seats be saying Lord.

281
00:19:51,700 –> 00:19:56,300
You better watch him.
Not only don’t let him in after

282
00:19:56,300 –> 00:20:01,400
all I’ve said about him.
So we have to be careful about

283
00:20:01,400 –> 00:20:05,000
our our way.
Now, you know me well enough to

284
00:20:05,000 –> 00:20:10,200
know that in no way would I seek
to lessen the straightforward

285
00:20:10,200 –> 00:20:14,300
Simple Truth concerning the
atonement as we all understand

286
00:20:14,300 –> 00:20:16,600
it well as stated in the unity
book.

287
00:20:16,700 –> 00:20:20,500
Chocolate which is for your
particular concern here in

288
00:20:20,500 –> 00:20:23,900
Australia and nobody else meets
on the unity booklet basis in

289
00:20:23,900 –> 00:20:26,300
the world.
So that was to solve your

290
00:20:26,300 –> 00:20:29,500
particular problems.
But since nobody else meets on

291
00:20:29,500 –> 00:20:35,300
that basis then You have to then
think how other people meet.

292
00:20:37,100 –> 00:20:41,100
And in Britain we meet on the
basis of the bombing amended

293
00:20:41,100 –> 00:20:44,700
statement of faith.
And and then on the reunions

294
00:20:44,700 –> 00:20:48,100
statement that we had the
brought us together with a

295
00:20:48,100 –> 00:20:52,900
subject Street Fellowship in
which all that we defined was

296
00:20:52,900 –> 00:20:57,500
the Birmingham amended statement
of faith and had to explain its

297
00:20:57,900 –> 00:21:00,400
implications for us in our
country.

298
00:21:00,700 –> 00:21:03,600
And if you were in the North
American continent, then you

299
00:21:03,600 –> 00:21:06,800
would find and they haven’t had
reunions yet out there except

300
00:21:06,900 –> 00:21:11,600
With the bereans, but their
irian between the amended and

301
00:21:11,600 –> 00:21:13,900
unamended people there has not
yet taken place.

302
00:21:14,100 –> 00:21:19,100
I may take some time and that
would have to then be defined in

303
00:21:19,100 –> 00:21:23,700
their terms.
So that in the end all of us

304
00:21:23,700 –> 00:21:29,100
come back to the basic teachings
of Christ the apostles and the

305
00:21:29,100 –> 00:21:33,500
prophets and the inspiration of
scripture No gentle waving a

306
00:21:33,500 –> 00:21:36,100
wand and pushing aside.
Everything say well, I don’t

307
00:21:36,100 –> 00:21:38,700
trouble myself about the
atonement just get on with a job

308
00:21:38,900 –> 00:21:41,900
and can’t do that’s not it
that’s not right.

309
00:21:42,000 –> 00:21:47,500
That’s treating God lightly.
Just come to Romans chapter 4.

310
00:21:47,500 –> 00:21:52,500
Let me show you a verse there.
If I’d it’s Romans chapter 3.

311
00:21:55,600 –> 00:22:00,900
Now in Romans chapter 3 was a
great chapter because in Romans

312
00:22:00,900 –> 00:22:04,900
chapter 3, it’s almost as though
there is a court of law.

313
00:22:06,200 –> 00:22:11,300
And in that very place you and I
are to be found or the

314
00:22:11,300 –> 00:22:15,700
representatives of us as members
of the human race and have after

315
00:22:15,700 –> 00:22:18,100
having gone through the
arguments of chapters one and

316
00:22:18,100 –> 00:22:21,400
two and three.
It’s pretty clear that we are

317
00:22:21,400 –> 00:22:24,300
condemned.
That’s our state.

318
00:22:26,600 –> 00:22:29,800
I’m just at the moment when you
think then the axe is going to

319
00:22:29,800 –> 00:22:37,600
fall which is there in verse 19.
now we know that what things

320
00:22:37,600 –> 00:22:43,000
soever the law says it says to
them who are under the law that

321
00:22:43,000 –> 00:22:48,300
every mouth may be stopped.
And all the world become guilty

322
00:22:48,300 –> 00:22:51,600
before God.
Therefore by the Deeds of the

323
00:22:51,600 –> 00:22:55,700
law shall no flesh be justified
in his sight.

324
00:22:57,400 –> 00:23:04,900
For by the law is the knowledge
of sin. but the biggest butt in

325
00:23:04,900 –> 00:23:11,000
the Bible a but not the gods
gonna forget.

326
00:23:11,000 –> 00:23:13,300
Everything is just said not that
at all.

327
00:23:13,600 –> 00:23:19,000
He does says but now the
righteousness of God without the

328
00:23:19,000 –> 00:23:23,200
law is manifested being
witnessed by the law and the

329
00:23:23,200 –> 00:23:27,100
prophets even the righteousness
of God, which is by faith of

330
00:23:27,100 –> 00:23:31,500
Jesus Christ unto all and upon
all them that believe for there

331
00:23:31,500 –> 00:23:35,100
is no difference for all have
sinned and come short of the

332
00:23:35,100 –> 00:23:39,900
glory of God.
Being justified freely by his

333
00:23:39,900 –> 00:23:44,400
grace through the Redemption
that is in Christ Jesus whom God

334
00:23:44,400 –> 00:23:48,800
hath set forth to be a
propitiation a mercy seat

335
00:23:51,200 –> 00:23:54,500
through faith in his blood to
declare his righteousness for

336
00:23:54,500 –> 00:23:58,100
the remission of sins that are
past through the forbearance of

337
00:23:58,100 –> 00:24:04,500
God to declare I say at this
time his righteousness.

338
00:24:04,500 –> 00:24:08,800
This is God’s righteous as not
man’s Christ’s righteousness is

339
00:24:08,800 –> 00:24:11,700
a declaration of the
righteousness of God.

340
00:24:13,300 –> 00:24:15,500
I know we sometimes I literally
got the righteousness of Christ.

341
00:24:15,500 –> 00:24:20,000
That’s not true.
It’s true in a kind of

342
00:24:20,000 –> 00:24:22,400
shorthand, but it’s not really
true.

343
00:24:22,500 –> 00:24:24,300
You see the righteousness of
Christ.

344
00:24:24,300 –> 00:24:28,700
Was that which he wrought
sinlessly now, we haven’t done

345
00:24:28,700 –> 00:24:32,700
that and that can’t be imputed
to us in any way what is imputed

346
00:24:32,700 –> 00:24:34,600
to us?
And every time in this chapter

347
00:24:34,600 –> 00:24:40,300
it is the righteousness of God.
That’s was imputed because it

348
00:24:40,300 –> 00:24:45,200
now tells us look at have a look
at verse 26 to declare.

349
00:24:45,200 –> 00:24:49,800
I say at this time his that is
God the last wording on in a

350
00:24:49,800 –> 00:24:54,600
preceding verse righteousness
that he might be just and the

351
00:24:54,600 –> 00:24:59,600
justifier of him which believeth
in Jesus now, that’s that is the

352
00:24:59,600 –> 00:25:04,000
Staggering verse.
How can God be just who

353
00:25:04,000 –> 00:25:06,600
condemned sin in the beginning
in?

354
00:25:06,800 –> 00:25:11,600
forgiving sinners How can that
how can that be?

355
00:25:12,900 –> 00:25:16,500
What was more how can God both
be just and the justifier of

356
00:25:16,500 –> 00:25:19,100
Sinners?
How can he how can it be worked

357
00:25:19,100 –> 00:25:23,900
out on the way in that which we
do is worked out is now seeing

358
00:25:24,200 –> 00:25:27,100
the man.
We should have been the Lord

359
00:25:27,100 –> 00:25:32,900
Jesus Christ.
The one who is of us sharing all

360
00:25:32,900 –> 00:25:39,500
that we are and yet sinless
before God and seeing him then

361
00:25:39,500 –> 00:25:47,100
God says that’s the man with a
capital am that’s the man.

362
00:25:49,100 –> 00:25:54,300
The very image of God, that’s
what I intended when I made man

363
00:25:54,300 –> 00:25:57,200
in my own image right at the
beginning.

364
00:25:57,400 –> 00:26:03,700
That’s the man now when we see
him the Wonder is this that as

365
00:26:03,700 –> 00:26:07,600
soon as we see him then we
confess our sins that we are not

366
00:26:07,600 –> 00:26:11,000
the man.
We’re not like him at all.

367
00:26:11,600 –> 00:26:15,700
In other words what God’s love
and righteousness manifested in

368
00:26:15,700 –> 00:26:21,800
Christ do for us is to bring us
to our knees and say Depart from

369
00:26:21,800 –> 00:26:27,100
me O Lord for I am a sinful man
as Peter in the boat, isn’t it?

370
00:26:27,100 –> 00:26:28,600
Of course Christ didn’t leave
him.

371
00:26:30,300 –> 00:26:33,900
Christ spent his life in the
boat with Peter right to the end

372
00:26:33,900 –> 00:26:37,400
of Peters days.
They didn’t say you’re quite

373
00:26:37,400 –> 00:26:39,600
right Peter.
I really oughtn’t to have

374
00:26:39,600 –> 00:26:41,700
fellowship with you.
You’re a bad lot.

375
00:26:42,800 –> 00:26:45,500
No, as soon as Peter said I’m a
bad luck to the Lord said now

376
00:26:45,500 –> 00:26:49,400
you’re right Peter.
You’re right for the first time.

377
00:26:50,700 –> 00:26:56,200
That’s how God sees a Man
Without Me Christ.

378
00:26:56,700 –> 00:27:00,100
But by me, you can be cleansed
and forgiven.

379
00:27:01,800 –> 00:27:05,300
And so later on when Peter, you
know, has that wonderful moment

380
00:27:05,300 –> 00:27:07,000
at what a marvelous man.
He is.

381
00:27:07,200 –> 00:27:11,000
He’s not, you know, the
impetuous Runner into trouble

382
00:27:11,200 –> 00:27:14,600
which sometimes feature is
regarded as being he’s a man of

383
00:27:14,600 –> 00:27:18,800
great perception spiritually and
his heart is so big it wants to

384
00:27:18,800 –> 00:27:24,200
burst I’m so when I’m not De
Jesus said unless you eat the

385
00:27:24,200 –> 00:27:27,000
Flesh of the son of man and
drink his blood.

386
00:27:27,500 –> 00:27:31,600
You have no life in you.
Lots of disciples started to

387
00:27:31,600 –> 00:27:40,700
walk out. and left him the Lord
turned to Peter and said will

388
00:27:40,700 –> 00:27:45,500
you also go away?
And Peter said Lord.

389
00:27:46,600 –> 00:27:50,800
To whom shall we go?
Thou Hast the words of eternal

390
00:27:50,800 –> 00:27:54,000
life.
Marvelous statement, isn’t it?

391
00:27:54,000 –> 00:27:55,700
Wonderful.
Now, this is the atonement,

392
00:27:55,700 –> 00:27:58,300
isn’t it?
Is it at the atonement at work?

393
00:27:59,700 –> 00:28:04,600
the attempt wasn’t an act just
one act at all was it was the

394
00:28:04,600 –> 00:28:08,000
whole life of Jesus from the
moment of his birth to the

395
00:28:08,000 –> 00:28:10,000
moment of his death and his
resurrection.

396
00:28:10,000 –> 00:28:13,400
Look at chapter 4 of Romans.
That is this.

397
00:28:16,400 –> 00:28:20,800
Verse 23 it says now it was not
written for his sake alone that

398
00:28:20,800 –> 00:28:24,300
it was imputed to him that he
has to Abraham righteousness by

399
00:28:24,300 –> 00:28:29,700
faith.
But for us also to whom it shall

400
00:28:29,700 –> 00:28:33,800
be imputed if we believe on him
that raised up Jesus our lord

401
00:28:33,800 –> 00:28:38,400
from the dead who was delivered
for our offenses and raised

402
00:28:38,400 –> 00:28:41,800
again for our justification.
In other words.

403
00:28:41,800 –> 00:28:44,500
The resurrection of Jesus is
part of the atonement.

404
00:28:46,700 –> 00:28:49,900
You know the whole the whole
those together you sometimes you

405
00:28:49,908 –> 00:28:54,200
can go around and is taking hold
of words of Robert Robertson one

406
00:28:54,200 –> 00:28:57,100
way and brother Thomason another
but taking hold of neither don’t

407
00:28:57,100 –> 00:29:00,500
accurately by saying well what
we got on the flesh is the total

408
00:29:00,500 –> 00:29:05,100
rejection on the cross.
Sorry is the total rejection of

409
00:29:05,100 –> 00:29:09,800
the flesh Christ was now
rejecting what he wants in his

410
00:29:09,800 –> 00:29:13,000
body.
That’s not true.

411
00:29:15,400 –> 00:29:18,900
That’s not true.
At the Last Supper.

412
00:29:18,900 –> 00:29:22,600
He said this is my body which is
given for you and we have to

413
00:29:22,600 –> 00:29:25,600
remember it at every service of
remembrance.

414
00:29:26,400 –> 00:29:29,300
And what is war that body was
not rejected.

415
00:29:31,600 –> 00:29:33,700
The Lord preserved it from
corruption.

416
00:29:34,900 –> 00:29:39,900
They wasn’t rejected what was
rejecting was sin all the router

417
00:29:39,900 –> 00:29:45,000
bit surely in the nature we bear
but that route had been totally

418
00:29:45,100 –> 00:29:49,300
in the Lord Jesus Christ totally
dealt with in him by his

419
00:29:49,300 –> 00:29:52,700
righteous life.
That was the first body in which

420
00:29:52,700 –> 00:29:57,900
there had been sinlessness in a
body that normally produces sin.

421
00:29:58,400 –> 00:30:00,900
That was it.
It was a great victory.

422
00:30:00,900 –> 00:30:03,300
That wasn’t that body then we
haven’t been redeemed.

423
00:30:04,500 –> 00:30:07,200
You had no Redeemer for your
body which produces sin?

424
00:30:08,300 –> 00:30:12,700
Unless the Lord’s.
Was not the same as ours.

425
00:30:12,900 –> 00:30:16,300
It was the same and
consequently, then there was

426
00:30:16,300 –> 00:30:20,500
victory in this nature.
So now what we have to do, I’m

427
00:30:20,500 –> 00:30:23,500
not going to go further into
into this because that’s partly

428
00:30:23,500 –> 00:30:25,300
an exposition of the atonement
isn’t it?

429
00:30:25,500 –> 00:30:29,600
And we can see you know, parts
of that as we go along what we

430
00:30:29,600 –> 00:30:33,100
have to do is what do we now do
now the absurdity of the

431
00:30:33,100 –> 00:30:36,900
situation we are having
remembered that when the Lord

432
00:30:36,900 –> 00:30:40,000
looked went and saw that there
was no ID pretty and no arm to

433
00:30:40,000 –> 00:30:43,900
say But then the Lord’s arm
brought salvation when we see

434
00:30:43,900 –> 00:30:52,200
that why why why why and it
can’t be right that reveling

435
00:30:52,200 –> 00:30:54,100
don’t have dealings with
brethren.

436
00:30:55,500 –> 00:30:57,100
I mean the atonement is about
that.

437
00:30:57,100 –> 00:31:02,100
That’s what it’s about.
You see Christ could have left

438
00:31:02,100 –> 00:31:03,600
us all that.
He could have put his skirts

439
00:31:03,600 –> 00:31:05,900
around himself.
Couldn’t he saying said keep

440
00:31:05,900 –> 00:31:09,800
your distance now?
Couldn’t he could have done

441
00:31:09,800 –> 00:31:12,200
that.
I better not be Nate near to you

442
00:31:12,900 –> 00:31:16,600
Thomas.
Occasionally have doubts.

443
00:31:17,400 –> 00:31:20,600
I don’t want you.
I’m not sure about you for it,

444
00:31:20,600 –> 00:31:25,500
but the way and Peter what you
you will finally finally deny

445
00:31:25,500 –> 00:31:30,500
that you know me.
Instead of which Christ without

446
00:31:30,500 –> 00:31:33,800
compromise to himself.
In fact the principle of what

447
00:31:33,800 –> 00:31:38,900
was that work in the atonement
was that Christ’s sinlessness

448
00:31:39,200 –> 00:31:43,900
was now reaching out through the
love of God to Peter sinfulness.

449
00:31:44,500 –> 00:31:47,600
That’s what he’s doing.
It isn’t the sinlessness is

450
00:31:47,600 –> 00:31:51,400
contaminated by it at all.
It’s the sinfulness that’s

451
00:31:51,400 –> 00:31:55,700
confronted and renounced.
But we are not the people to do

452
00:31:55,700 –> 00:31:59,700
that.
God has judged that in his work

453
00:31:59,700 –> 00:32:04,700
in the Lord Jesus Christ.
So now we got to see how it

454
00:32:04,700 –> 00:32:07,900
works in daily life.
What how do we go about it you

455
00:32:07,900 –> 00:32:11,000
and I in our daily life, right
Matthew Chapter 5.

456
00:32:11,000 –> 00:32:17,300
Let’s have a look.
And so first nine then.

457
00:32:21,100 –> 00:32:27,100
Blessed are the peacemakers?
For they shall be called the

458
00:32:27,100 –> 00:32:32,300
children of God.
When did you last have a go at

459
00:32:32,300 –> 00:32:38,000
that then?
When did you personally last

460
00:32:38,100 –> 00:32:46,800
have a go at that verse, right?
See the happiness this offer to

461
00:32:46,800 –> 00:32:49,400
us there.
These are got why are they God’s

462
00:32:49,400 –> 00:32:51,000
children?
Because God is The Peacemaker.

463
00:32:51,800 –> 00:32:54,700
That’s why.
Well, therefore you want to

464
00:32:54,700 –> 00:32:59,000
belong to God we got to do the
same kind of work. amongst our

465
00:32:59,000 –> 00:33:05,100
brethren We’ve got to do the
kind of work ourselves amongst

466
00:33:05,100 –> 00:33:08,300
our Brethren.
Now, this is what the this is

467
00:33:08,300 –> 00:33:11,900
the problem and when I make
comments about these people all

468
00:33:11,900 –> 00:33:14,500
those people I’m not now
speaking about a particular

469
00:33:14,500 –> 00:33:18,600
side.
I just don’t take sides.

470
00:33:18,700 –> 00:33:22,000
All right, because the comments
about which I made so far I’ve

471
00:33:22,000 –> 00:33:25,000
been made on both sides that
these people don’t want those

472
00:33:25,000 –> 00:33:26,900
from time to time and those
people don’t want these from

473
00:33:26,900 –> 00:33:29,500
sign from time to time.
It’s not a one-sided matter at

474
00:33:29,500 –> 00:33:33,500
all. all What I’m not saying is
that what we should be

475
00:33:33,500 –> 00:33:37,600
practicing in our daily life is
what is described as

476
00:33:37,600 –> 00:33:41,500
peacemaking?
All right, and that this is not

477
00:33:41,500 –> 00:33:44,500
on the basis of some of let’s
forget.

478
00:33:44,500 –> 00:33:46,100
It.
God doesn’t say that about Sin

479
00:33:46,100 –> 00:33:47,800
does.
He don’t God doesn’t say well

480
00:33:47,900 –> 00:33:51,600
just forget your sins.
God says you confess them before

481
00:33:51,600 –> 00:33:57,300
me and you will repent of them
and I will forgive you in the

482
00:33:57,308 –> 00:34:00,000
Lord Jesus Christ.
That’s what he says.

483
00:34:00,300 –> 00:34:05,400
So that’s why he is just and the
justifier he is just because he

484
00:34:05,400 –> 00:34:08,800
condemns our sins.
And condemning our sins.

485
00:34:08,800 –> 00:34:12,400
He doesn’t condemn The Sinner.
All right, because he’s taking

486
00:34:12,400 –> 00:34:16,600
to redeem The Sinner.
We love these things together.

487
00:34:16,699 –> 00:34:19,400
We wouldn’t like that person
because of whatever it is and we

488
00:34:19,400 –> 00:34:24,400
lump his imperfections with him.
But God is wanting to redeem him

489
00:34:24,400 –> 00:34:27,300
and bring him into everlasting
life, which has got to be our

490
00:34:27,300 –> 00:34:30,600
work as well.
There are sometimes speak in

491
00:34:30,600 –> 00:34:33,000
meetings and then somebody says
to me afterwards, you know, the

492
00:34:33,000 –> 00:34:34,600
brother and sister they’re
sitting next to you.

493
00:34:35,199 –> 00:34:38,000
I said, yes.
He said I was surprised to see

494
00:34:38,000 –> 00:34:41,300
them there.
You say why he says because

495
00:34:41,300 –> 00:34:42,800
they’re always having flaming
roused.

496
00:34:45,900 –> 00:34:49,600
But may apply to somebody here.
It’s not a matter of just a

497
00:34:49,607 –> 00:34:52,699
smile.
It takes place in Brisbane.

498
00:34:53,199 –> 00:34:55,100
I don’t talk about it I a
particular Ecclesia.

499
00:34:56,800 –> 00:34:59,200
I know it takes place because it
takes place everywhere.

500
00:35:00,800 –> 00:35:06,000
All right, but there’s supposed
to be an atonement but it’s not

501
00:35:06,000 –> 00:35:09,800
there in the family.
Now that can’t be right is the

502
00:35:09,808 –> 00:35:12,500
father or mother of the
household both in the truth

503
00:35:13,100 –> 00:35:15,700
cannot now practice the
atonement with themselves on the

504
00:35:15,700 –> 00:35:17,000
children.
What happens of course is you

505
00:35:17,000 –> 00:35:20,400
lose your children, don’t you so
you do and that’s not the

506
00:35:20,400 –> 00:35:26,400
atonement is it?
accompany atonement So we’re

507
00:35:26,400 –> 00:35:27,900
going to start in our own
families.

508
00:35:27,900 –> 00:35:32,600
Then where there are these
problems from time to time now?

509
00:35:32,600 –> 00:35:35,600
He’s in your family.
Then the best way to start on

510
00:35:35,600 –> 00:35:37,300
this is to confess your part in
it.

511
00:35:39,800 –> 00:35:44,800
Just confess it.
I mean their husbands or and

512
00:35:44,800 –> 00:35:47,400
it’s easier in Austria to be
this because this is the place

513
00:35:47,400 –> 00:35:49,500
of the Macho Man in a kind of
way.

514
00:35:50,500 –> 00:35:52,700
He’d say is expected to be like
this.

515
00:35:52,700 –> 00:35:56,900
You know, he isn’t like that in
actual fact is weak the Macho

516
00:35:56,900 –> 00:36:00,400
Man in Australia, isn’t it?
He’s a sinner and he’s locked

517
00:36:00,400 –> 00:36:04,400
into his sins of beer and
betting and women and so on.

518
00:36:04,700 –> 00:36:05,700
Those are it knows that that’s
that.

519
00:36:05,700 –> 00:36:08,300
That’s the Macho Man.
He’s got to drink his Fosters.

520
00:36:08,300 –> 00:36:11,800
He’s got to otherwise.
He’s not a not just one but line

521
00:36:11,800 –> 00:36:14,300
them up boy drink a lot.
All right.

522
00:36:14,300 –> 00:36:15,600
Now that’s that’s that’s the
man.

523
00:36:16,000 –> 00:36:17,300
Okay.
Now this is the man that breaks

524
00:36:17,300 –> 00:36:19,100
up.
His marriage is goes from girl

525
00:36:19,100 –> 00:36:22,100
to girl and the girl the girl
that he goes to now knows he’s

526
00:36:22,100 –> 00:36:24,700
been there but he’s got to have
him as well because she’s also

527
00:36:24,700 –> 00:36:26,800
been here.
That’s our world.

528
00:36:26,800 –> 00:36:31,000
Isn’t it now in our family life?
We’ve gotta get over that.

529
00:36:31,700 –> 00:36:34,400
We’ve got to stop this
fragmentation and get our lives

530
00:36:34,400 –> 00:36:39,300
straight.
He’s got to be kindness loving

531
00:36:39,300 –> 00:36:41,300
kindness between husband and
wife.

532
00:36:42,000 –> 00:36:45,700
If there isn’t Christ has not
redeemed us.

533
00:36:47,100 –> 00:36:53,300
Did you hear that?
Christ can’t of redeemed us if

534
00:36:53,300 –> 00:36:57,600
to redeemed people are now
falling out we got is Christ

535
00:36:57,600 –> 00:37:01,600
divided which try with side with
Christ take in the family.

536
00:37:02,700 –> 00:37:07,100
Now these things are wrong.
We got to put them right and so

537
00:37:07,200 –> 00:37:12,100
the way to put them right is to
decide that you are going to

538
00:37:12,100 –> 00:37:16,400
build the bridge.
That helps to overcome the

539
00:37:16,400 –> 00:37:18,700
problem.
It’s no use in marriage or any

540
00:37:18,700 –> 00:37:22,800
other circumstance or was trying
to assert your rights saying you

541
00:37:22,800 –> 00:37:25,500
are right.
I’ve got it right and you are

542
00:37:25,500 –> 00:37:28,700
wrong and you know it and this
is not the first time I’ve told

543
00:37:28,700 –> 00:37:31,300
you and so it goes on forever
doesn’t it?

544
00:37:32,100 –> 00:37:37,700
So you have weeping wives and
Sour face husbands and children

545
00:37:37,700 –> 00:37:39,700
who don’t want to know if that’s
the truth.

546
00:37:39,700 –> 00:37:44,300
They say I don’t want to know
and I don’t blame them because

547
00:37:44,300 –> 00:37:49,400
that’s all they know because
what takes place at home then is

548
00:37:49,400 –> 00:37:51,900
to them the picture of the
atonement.

549
00:37:53,200 –> 00:37:55,900
Now I’ve just outlined that
particular picture because it’s

550
00:37:55,900 –> 00:37:58,500
a domestic one, isn’t it?
Now?

551
00:37:58,500 –> 00:38:01,800
What we’ve got to do all of us
is now to seek to repair.

552
00:38:03,600 –> 00:38:08,900
I don’t know how you go about
this matter of of reparation.

553
00:38:10,100 –> 00:38:12,600
Because some of the easy matter,
you know, because if you’ve been

554
00:38:12,600 –> 00:38:18,100
having quarrels for a long time,
then it’s not easy in whatever

555
00:38:18,100 –> 00:38:19,800
situation.
This is religiously Cleese you

556
00:38:19,800 –> 00:38:23,400
Lauren trip into ecclesial or it
within the marriage or between

557
00:38:23,400 –> 00:38:26,500
two people or within the family
because there are families that

558
00:38:26,500 –> 00:38:27,800
don’t get on together aren’t
there.

559
00:38:28,000 –> 00:38:30,100
There are members of families
never speak to each other.

560
00:38:31,500 –> 00:38:33,500
I smoked that one meeting.
I remember and this is the came

561
00:38:33,500 –> 00:38:36,400
to me after the meeting and it
was on this subject this evening

562
00:38:36,400 –> 00:38:37,700
as you said brother.
Harry want to tell you

563
00:38:37,700 –> 00:38:41,400
something.
I said what turn sister.

564
00:38:42,000 –> 00:38:45,500
She said I haven’t spoken to my
sister for 26 years.

565
00:38:47,000 –> 00:38:48,700
I’m going home to speak to her
tonight.

566
00:38:50,700 –> 00:38:52,800
Alright, that was a gigantic
step.

567
00:38:52,800 –> 00:38:57,400
That was a 26-year gulf that she
got to Bridge and she decided to

568
00:38:57,400 –> 00:39:00,000
Bridget.
She wasn’t a loser by that.

569
00:39:01,200 –> 00:39:04,700
Whatever assistance he doesn’t
matter you see because he all

570
00:39:04,700 –> 00:39:07,500
what if I do that my sister will
say ìwell I told you you were

571
00:39:07,500 –> 00:39:09,800
wrong.
Then you know, that doesn’t

572
00:39:09,800 –> 00:39:11,500
matter just come to Matthew
Chapter 5.

573
00:39:11,500 –> 00:39:14,200
Let me illustrate what I do
things to you Matthew 5 and

574
00:39:14,200 –> 00:39:19,800
verse 21 to 26.
Then the tournament in daily

575
00:39:19,800 –> 00:39:25,000
life you have heard that it was
said by them of old time Thou

576
00:39:25,000 –> 00:39:29,400
shalt not kill and whosoever
shall kill should be in danger

577
00:39:29,400 –> 00:39:33,600
of the Judgment but I say unto
you that whosoever is angry with

578
00:39:33,600 –> 00:39:38,200
his brother Without a Cause.
And that Without a Cause is not

579
00:39:38,200 –> 00:39:39,600
is not there in the revised
version.

580
00:39:39,600 –> 00:39:42,600
By the way, I don’t know about
the NIV should be in danger of

581
00:39:42,600 –> 00:39:47,100
the judgment and whosoever shall
say to his brother Raca shall be

582
00:39:47,100 –> 00:39:51,400
in danger of the council and
whosoever shall say thou fool

583
00:39:52,100 –> 00:39:57,000
shall be in danger of Hell Fire.
All right, that’s that’s tough

584
00:39:57,000 –> 00:39:59,900
language.
How do we do that Lord?

585
00:39:59,900 –> 00:40:07,600
He says well if you bring your
gift to the altar, all right, it

586
00:40:07,600 –> 00:40:13,500
is under the breaking of bread.
And there rememberest that thy

587
00:40:13,500 –> 00:40:19,500
brother hath ought against thee?
leave thy gift before the altar

588
00:40:21,400 –> 00:40:26,500
and go thy way.
First be reconciled to thy

589
00:40:26,500 –> 00:40:29,400
brother and then come and offer
thy gift.

590
00:40:31,200 –> 00:40:33,000
Now it’s clear language, isn’t
it?

591
00:40:33,000 –> 00:40:40,900
It is absolutely clear language.
Now are there any of us who need

592
00:40:40,900 –> 00:40:45,800
to take it to ourselves?
I have people that I don’t get

593
00:40:45,800 –> 00:40:47,800
on with you have people you
don’t get on with.

594
00:40:48,800 –> 00:40:52,100
I people who treated me.
Well, I think shabbily from time

595
00:40:52,100 –> 00:40:54,100
to time.
They may think that I’ve done

596
00:40:54,100 –> 00:40:58,000
that towards them.
You know, that’s always possible

597
00:40:58,000 –> 00:41:00,900
isn’t it?
Because we’re human beings now,

598
00:41:00,900 –> 00:41:03,000
this is telling us this is the
way to recognize no don’t come

599
00:41:03,000 –> 00:41:06,200
to me and worship.
God says if you haven’t put it

600
00:41:06,200 –> 00:41:10,000
right with your brother.
Because he’s saying he’s what

601
00:41:10,000 –> 00:41:13,800
he’s saying you come here to the
breaking of bread to remember

602
00:41:13,800 –> 00:41:17,300
the Forgiveness of sins, and
you’re not practicing it.

603
00:41:19,400 –> 00:41:24,200
That’s hypocritical gone get it.
Right and if you noticed that in

604
00:41:24,200 –> 00:41:30,300
the kind of language that there
is here. in the motorized

605
00:41:30,300 –> 00:41:39,000
version there in verse 23 In
verse 23, it says therefore if

606
00:41:39,000 –> 00:41:47,200
thou bring thy gift to the altar
the altar is God maybe is

607
00:41:47,200 –> 00:41:50,100
represented in Christ.
But you bringing it to him you

608
00:41:50,100 –> 00:41:52,700
notice that not taking it to the
old here.

609
00:41:52,700 –> 00:41:54,400
You’re bringing it.
That’s where he is.

610
00:41:55,000 –> 00:41:58,200
And God says I won’t receive it
unless you put your

611
00:41:58,200 –> 00:42:01,000
relationships right with your
brother.

612
00:42:02,000 –> 00:42:06,500
What I tried to do about these
under you’ll find it helps a

613
00:42:06,500 –> 00:42:10,600
great deal.
If there is anybody you can’t

614
00:42:10,600 –> 00:42:14,100
get on with I don’t start
allocating blame and saying it’s

615
00:42:14,100 –> 00:42:17,200
his fault her fault, you know,
and it’s been repeated so many

616
00:42:17,200 –> 00:42:20,800
times and I’ve done nothing I
don’t deserve it and so on that

617
00:42:20,800 –> 00:42:25,300
doesn’t get you anywhere.
If in fact you want you haven’t

618
00:42:25,300 –> 00:42:29,600
any me or somebody you feel
antagonistic to wear just give

619
00:42:29,600 –> 00:42:35,500
you one piece of helpful advice
that I found helpful to myself.

620
00:42:36,200 –> 00:42:39,700
I immediately start praying for
that person.

621
00:42:41,700 –> 00:42:44,700
Not saying Lord, he’s a bad lot.
And I know you know, he’s a bad

622
00:42:44,700 –> 00:42:47,600
lot, but help me Lord and do
something to him.

623
00:42:47,600 –> 00:42:53,400
Not that at all which is what
how we behave sometimes isn’t it

624
00:42:54,100 –> 00:42:57,600
just said about praying for his
salvation not by allocating

625
00:42:57,600 –> 00:43:03,200
blame say that you want him to
be saved and only more of us did

626
00:43:03,200 –> 00:43:07,000
this, you know, if only we
prayed for Yvonne earpieces pray

627
00:43:07,000 –> 00:43:10,000
for occasions.
We’re just say this.

628
00:43:10,400 –> 00:43:13,600
I doubt that it has ever
happened.

629
00:43:15,200 –> 00:43:21,500
In southeast Queensland that any
Ecclesia has a has literally at

630
00:43:21,500 –> 00:43:25,400
the breaking of bread named all
the other equations and prayed

631
00:43:25,400 –> 00:43:27,300
for them together.
I doubt it.

632
00:43:29,300 –> 00:43:33,200
But why not?
Well, not sure we could pray for

633
00:43:33,200 –> 00:43:35,500
these people or whatever.
It is.

634
00:43:35,800 –> 00:43:40,600
Not sure what would God have
done for us then if he said oh,

635
00:43:40,600 –> 00:43:43,000
well you brought this man to
make I’m not sure I can do

636
00:43:43,000 –> 00:43:46,300
anything for him.
Dear me.

637
00:43:47,400 –> 00:43:49,200
You know what he’s doing and
what he’s done.

638
00:43:49,800 –> 00:43:55,800
No, that’s just too much.
Nobody who comes Christ says,

639
00:43:55,800 –> 00:44:00,300
you know, he that cometh unto me
I will in no wise cast out

640
00:44:00,700 –> 00:44:05,000
Christ doesn’t cast out when
they cast ourselves out by our

641
00:44:05,000 –> 00:44:07,200
Behavior, but he doesn’t cast us
out.

642
00:44:08,100 –> 00:44:12,000
So we have got to behave to each
other in this way are seeking to

643
00:44:12,000 –> 00:44:16,600
embrace not isn’t foolish
sentimental sloppy way that gets

644
00:44:16,600 –> 00:44:20,800
nowhere but in Practical steps
of praying for each other and

645
00:44:20,800 –> 00:44:24,500
praying for forgiveness for
ourselves and for our Brethren

646
00:44:24,900 –> 00:44:30,100
and seating by means of that for
the power of the atonement to

647
00:44:30,100 –> 00:44:33,100
work through us all of us after
all here.

648
00:44:33,100 –> 00:44:36,900
We are, you know in a group of
people not always able to agree

649
00:44:36,900 –> 00:44:39,700
with each other how How many
coming preach to other people?

650
00:44:41,000 –> 00:44:43,000
How can we preach to other
people we don’t agree with that

651
00:44:43,000 –> 00:44:47,600
we need each other.
Is Christ, you know divided?

652
00:44:47,600 –> 00:44:51,600
What are you going to do then?
If somebody comes along then do

653
00:44:51,600 –> 00:44:54,300
we say well, we don’t I wouldn’t
go to that place value.

654
00:44:55,300 –> 00:44:57,900
Is that what we say?
In other words we preacher a

655
00:44:57,900 –> 00:45:04,000
partial kind of relationship now
that can’t be good enough that

656
00:45:04,000 –> 00:45:08,600
can’t be good enough.
One of the best cures for inward

657
00:45:08,600 –> 00:45:14,600
faults is outward witness.
All right get together and

658
00:45:14,600 –> 00:45:16,900
Proclaim together I have trouble
is here.

659
00:45:16,900 –> 00:45:19,600
You see if you do that then
somebody.

660
00:45:19,800 –> 00:45:21,400
Say well, these are the
conditions on which we will do

661
00:45:21,400 –> 00:45:28,700
this you see. now have you
considered what that means?

662
00:45:31,000 –> 00:45:37,300
We just work it out.
It’s purely thinking laterally

663
00:45:37,500 –> 00:45:43,300
not vertically.
Are we saying that there are

664
00:45:43,300 –> 00:45:46,400
conditions upon which we will
preach Christ.

665
00:45:47,700 –> 00:45:50,600
Who made no distinction amongst
us to save us?

666
00:45:51,600 –> 00:45:54,200
That can’t be right.
Can it that just can’t be?

667
00:45:55,600 –> 00:45:58,700
We’re going to work together in
order to Proclaim.

668
00:45:58,700 –> 00:46:02,400
Let’s suppose now.
For example, we made a mistake

669
00:46:03,600 –> 00:46:08,400
in this in some way.
All right, and we shall of

670
00:46:08,400 –> 00:46:12,700
course.
Is it better that it should be a

671
00:46:12,700 –> 00:46:16,800
mistake in practicing the
atonement rather than a mistake

672
00:46:16,800 –> 00:46:20,800
in denying it?
The answer is obvious, isn’t it?

673
00:46:20,800 –> 00:46:24,000
There’s no there’s no difficulty
in answering that question come

674
00:46:24,000 –> 00:46:26,700
along with it now a little bit
later in this chapter of Matthew

675
00:46:26,700 –> 00:46:30,500
5 and have a look at verses 43
to 45.

676
00:46:31,000 –> 00:46:35,600
This part might help you
particularly verse 43 because

677
00:46:35,600 –> 00:46:37,500
it’s got to do with
conscientious objections.

678
00:46:37,500 –> 00:46:41,100
So on you have heard that it
hath been said Thou shalt love

679
00:46:41,100 –> 00:46:43,000
thy Neighbour and hate thine.
Enemy.

680
00:46:43,000 –> 00:46:46,300
That’s all said in the Bible,
but that’s so what the the

681
00:46:46,300 –> 00:46:48,900
conclusion they derived at.
That’s what the Jews are done.

682
00:46:49,600 –> 00:46:53,500
They had done what we ourselves
are always in danger of doing

683
00:46:53,500 –> 00:46:56,800
that is making the distinction
among people and then he says

684
00:46:56,800 –> 00:47:00,200
but I say unto you love your
enemies.

685
00:47:03,800 –> 00:47:11,300
I couldn’t be clearer good it.
It doesn’t say tolerate your

686
00:47:11,300 –> 00:47:15,100
enemies.
It doesn’t say do your best to

687
00:47:15,100 –> 00:47:17,100
get on with your enemies does
it?

688
00:47:18,400 –> 00:47:21,700
It doesn’t say.
I hope that in some way you’ll

689
00:47:21,700 –> 00:47:25,200
be able to get on at least with
a few of your enemies.

690
00:47:26,300 –> 00:47:29,500
It’s a command of Christ.
We have no option.

691
00:47:30,700 –> 00:47:35,700
You’ve got to love our enemies.
And bless them that curse you

692
00:47:35,700 –> 00:47:38,800
and do good to them that hate
you and pray for them which

693
00:47:38,800 –> 00:47:43,000
despitefully use you and
persecute you that you may be

694
00:47:43,000 –> 00:47:46,900
the children of your father
which is in heaven who then it

695
00:47:46,900 –> 00:47:54,300
is said has been loving us.
Who have cursed him hated him

696
00:47:54,800 –> 00:47:57,500
and his frightfully used him as
he saying, isn’t it?

697
00:47:59,500 –> 00:48:02,700
So the people have been doing
those things at ourselves not

698
00:48:02,700 –> 00:48:05,300
these other people that’s
ourselves.

699
00:48:05,300 –> 00:48:06,800
That’s what God Said to do with
us.

700
00:48:07,700 –> 00:48:10,300
That’s what he had to do when
he’s when he’s had to deal with

701
00:48:10,300 –> 00:48:12,500
us as people.
Look.

702
00:48:13,400 –> 00:48:15,800
I don’t need any trouble from
any of you at all.

703
00:48:15,800 –> 00:48:18,200
I’ve got enough trouble being
myself.

704
00:48:19,300 –> 00:48:23,800
I’ve know everybody has I mean,
I’m in this class there are

705
00:48:23,800 –> 00:48:27,400
times when I knocked up by
knowingly doing it directly

706
00:48:27,400 –> 00:48:32,000
curse God or hated him or
despitefully used him but there

707
00:48:32,000 –> 00:48:35,700
are things in my behavior that
have been like that when Peter

708
00:48:35,700 –> 00:48:39,000
denied his Lord, he despitefully
use them at that moment.

709
00:48:39,000 –> 00:48:43,400
Didn’t he the more he needed him
Peter wasn’t there there are no

710
00:48:43,400 –> 00:48:46,000
it was Peters weakness.
He got no desire to do that.

711
00:48:46,000 –> 00:48:51,900
He loved him with all his heart.
But he failed and God wants us

712
00:48:51,900 –> 00:48:58,400
to succeed.
Now may I just say how then we

713
00:48:58,400 –> 00:49:02,700
do this practically?
How do I love that man?

714
00:49:03,200 –> 00:49:09,000
Who hates me and is now treating
me in such a way as make us to

715
00:49:09,000 –> 00:49:15,800
make life very difficult for me.
But he has a helpful approach to

716
00:49:15,800 –> 00:49:22,300
that problem say to yourself.
I am not going to allow the

717
00:49:22,300 –> 00:49:27,800
behavior of that man to make me
behave like he’s behaving.

718
00:49:29,400 –> 00:49:31,000
Try it.
It works.

719
00:49:32,400 –> 00:49:36,900
Alright, so the man swears that
you curse is you or in simple

720
00:49:36,900 –> 00:49:40,000
easy terms the man who cuts in
from the net from the lane next

721
00:49:40,000 –> 00:49:43,000
to you straight in front of you.
I’m cause you to break.

722
00:49:43,700 –> 00:49:47,100
He’s a bad driver.
All right, so you give a great

723
00:49:47,100 –> 00:49:51,200
big hoot on the on you then
accelerate and come up behind

724
00:49:51,200 –> 00:49:52,900
him you flash your lights to
them.

725
00:49:53,200 –> 00:49:54,900
In other words.
He’s done you’re doing exactly

726
00:49:54,900 –> 00:49:57,800
what he’s done.
Give a having exactly the same

727
00:49:57,800 –> 00:49:59,700
way.
You’ve lost the battle.

728
00:50:00,900 –> 00:50:04,200
The moment you could have then
been, you know so different.

729
00:50:05,300 –> 00:50:09,900
Was the moment you lost a I knew
a brother who and it was he who

730
00:50:09,900 –> 00:50:11,900
taught me this this simple
lesson.

731
00:50:12,500 –> 00:50:18,200
He had the most engaging smile.
So whenever anybody wanted to

732
00:50:18,200 –> 00:50:22,000
push in when they shouldn’t when
they were driving, he gently

733
00:50:22,000 –> 00:50:29,800
braked and he went it was most
desired me the other Champion

734
00:50:29,800 –> 00:50:35,200
ought to do you never met before
now this this is putting the

735
00:50:35,200 –> 00:50:39,100
atonement into practice.
You’re injecting from your side

736
00:50:39,200 –> 00:50:41,300
what he’s not injecting from his
side.

737
00:50:42,000 –> 00:50:45,000
She all the antagonisms that we
create are in fact.

738
00:50:45,100 –> 00:50:47,300
Leaving the Atonement out on
both sides.

739
00:50:48,300 –> 00:50:53,100
Whereas we if you practice from
our side then we shall succeed.

740
00:50:53,300 –> 00:50:57,000
However, it works out with the
other person from our from our

741
00:50:57,000 –> 00:51:02,100
point of view.
Then it will succeed now and

742
00:51:02,500 –> 00:51:05,400
this never fails.
May I just say this you just

743
00:51:05,400 –> 00:51:09,300
practice it in your marriage
with your children at your work

744
00:51:09,300 –> 00:51:11,600
with your boss.
All right.

745
00:51:12,500 –> 00:51:17,700
But a bad bad boss first Peter
to just let’s have a look at

746
00:51:17,700 –> 00:51:20,400
this.
You may have this kind of Boss.

747
00:51:20,600 –> 00:51:24,100
All right there about in
abundance of the present time

748
00:51:26,400 –> 00:51:31,300
jobs are not easy to get and so
the boss you see can be as rude

749
00:51:31,700 –> 00:51:35,100
and is calculated and I’m
thankful as you like because if

750
00:51:35,107 –> 00:51:38,000
you say, you know, whatever you
want to say to him.

751
00:51:38,000 –> 00:51:39,600
He says look, we don’t like the
job.

752
00:51:39,600 –> 00:51:41,600
Get out of got somebody else
lining up for it.

753
00:51:41,600 –> 00:51:42,200
Now.
Do you want to stay?

754
00:51:43,600 –> 00:51:47,700
And you got no option right now.
Let’s see what God says about

755
00:51:47,700 –> 00:51:52,800
this in this chapter verse 18 of
First Peter 2, which we read

756
00:51:52,800 –> 00:52:00,400
together servants be subject to
your masters with all fear.

757
00:52:01,500 –> 00:52:06,800
That’s okay.
Not only to the good and gentle.

758
00:52:08,500 –> 00:52:11,600
But also to the froward the
perverse.

759
00:52:14,800 –> 00:52:18,600
Have we taken that on board?
All right.

760
00:52:20,700 –> 00:52:23,100
I don’t think we have taken that
on board without first reading.

761
00:52:23,100 –> 00:52:25,200
We just just think about it for
a moment.

762
00:52:25,200 –> 00:52:29,500
Alright for this is sank worthy.
This is acceptable.

763
00:52:29,500 –> 00:52:31,800
The word is Grace.
This is Grace.

764
00:52:32,600 –> 00:52:36,100
If a man for conscience toward
God Endura grief suffering

765
00:52:36,100 –> 00:52:41,900
wrongfully.
For what glory is it if when you

766
00:52:41,900 –> 00:52:46,800
be buffeted for your faults, you
take it patiently, but if when

767
00:52:46,800 –> 00:52:50,400
you do well and suffer for it,
you take it patiently, this is

768
00:52:50,400 –> 00:52:53,000
Grace With God.
That’s what the word is.

769
00:52:53,000 –> 00:52:56,100
All right, I hear it.
Here is the lesson that sticks

770
00:52:56,100 –> 00:52:58,900
out a mile, isn’t it?
So what he’s saying is you’re

771
00:52:58,900 –> 00:53:01,000
going to bad boss you say?
Yes.

772
00:53:01,000 –> 00:53:03,600
I’ve got a bad boss.
But in fact before he came here

773
00:53:03,600 –> 00:53:06,500
at a good boss, I used to do
dude a full day’s work for him

774
00:53:06,500 –> 00:53:09,000
without any trouble at all.
I liked it takes to stay on as a

775
00:53:09,000 –> 00:53:11,000
matter of fact is His job
because of him.

776
00:53:12,100 –> 00:53:16,500
Oh, Jesus says.
And you didn’t do that for the

777
00:53:16,500 –> 00:53:23,400
bad boss, which I know I should
I why should I every job I do

778
00:53:23,400 –> 00:53:24,800
for this money never says thank
you for it.

779
00:53:24,808 –> 00:53:26,400
We just says well here and next
two jobs.

780
00:53:26,400 –> 00:53:29,000
You’ve done one reason I can
never win.

781
00:53:30,300 –> 00:53:31,900
On the Lord Jesus Christ says,
yes.

782
00:53:35,700 –> 00:53:38,000
Have you ever thought says the
Lord Jesus Christ?

783
00:53:41,400 –> 00:53:46,600
That you were the bad boss.
And I was a 7.

784
00:53:48,100 –> 00:53:52,100
Is it never crossed your mind,
but whatever I did for you.

785
00:53:53,400 –> 00:53:56,800
You did all these other things
haven’t you related to it?

786
00:53:57,200 –> 00:53:58,800
Have you seen what it’s all
about?

787
00:53:59,800 –> 00:54:01,700
I’m not I didn’t come to call
the righteous.

788
00:54:01,700 –> 00:54:04,300
I can’t I came to call Sinners
to repentance.

789
00:54:04,500 –> 00:54:07,200
That’s what I came to do and
contact never had to deal with

790
00:54:07,200 –> 00:54:10,900
Sinners.
And so all of you I have treated

791
00:54:10,900 –> 00:54:14,100
in exactly the way that I’m
telling you to treat your boss

792
00:54:14,200 –> 00:54:19,100
in exactly the way.
That’s how it is our soon as we

793
00:54:19,100 –> 00:54:24,200
get that perspective on how
relationships it changes life

794
00:54:24,200 –> 00:54:30,600
enormously.
My life is going to reflect him

795
00:54:31,300 –> 00:54:34,400
not him.
That’s clear, isn’t it?

796
00:54:34,600 –> 00:54:39,300
I’m going to refight Christ in
my life are not him otherwise

797
00:54:39,300 –> 00:54:42,200
and I should be like him.
I should become a bad servant.

798
00:54:42,500 –> 00:54:45,600
I should cheat him.
I see you in short measure as

799
00:54:45,600 –> 00:54:47,000
you said.
Well, you deserved it.

800
00:54:47,400 –> 00:54:49,600
In other words what I’m now
going to only be according to

801
00:54:49,600 –> 00:54:54,600
law and not according to Grace
but Grace says, all right.

802
00:54:54,600 –> 00:54:55,900
Mm.
He’s a bad boss giving good

803
00:54:55,900 –> 00:54:58,900
measure.
Just like we give a good boss.

804
00:54:59,100 –> 00:55:04,900
Good measure.
Because he says verse 21 for

805
00:55:04,900 –> 00:55:10,000
even hereunto were ye called
because Christ also suffered for

806
00:55:10,000 –> 00:55:18,400
us leaving us an example that
you should follow his steps who

807
00:55:18,400 –> 00:55:22,300
did no sin.
Neither was guile found in his

808
00:55:22,300 –> 00:55:26,100
mouth.
Who when he was reviled?

809
00:55:28,100 –> 00:55:35,200
Reviled, not again. when he
suffered he threatened not but

810
00:55:35,200 –> 00:55:38,000
committed himself to him that
judgeth righteously.

811
00:55:38,900 –> 00:55:41,000
They just threw himself in the
arms of God.

812
00:55:41,000 –> 00:55:48,200
Hey, that’s what he did.
So he said father forgive them.

813
00:55:50,200 –> 00:55:55,200
For they know not what they do.
That’s frightening.

814
00:55:56,700 –> 00:55:58,900
I mean, it’s frightening when
the nails is through you through

815
00:55:58,900 –> 00:56:00,700
your hands or your wrists, isn’t
it?

816
00:56:03,800 –> 00:56:06,200
And for the people to hear you
saying it?

817
00:56:08,000 –> 00:56:12,700
These were tough soldiers.
And those were the words that

818
00:56:12,700 –> 00:56:19,000
were spoken. or when You took
the bowl of water?

819
00:56:21,800 –> 00:56:23,800
And you came to the feet of
Judas.

820
00:56:26,200 –> 00:56:28,400
And said, well I do a pretty
skimpy job here cuz you’re going

821
00:56:28,400 –> 00:56:30,500
to go into the darkness in any
case in five minutes.

822
00:56:31,100 –> 00:56:38,200
All right.
He washed the feet of Judas with

823
00:56:38,200 –> 00:56:42,400
the same tenderness.
For with God there is no

824
00:56:42,400 –> 00:56:47,500
respecter of persons and with
the same care.

825
00:56:48,800 –> 00:56:56,900
And intent as he washed John’s
feet. so that Judas would never

826
00:56:56,900 –> 00:57:02,500
be able to say neither at that
time nor at the Judgment seat

827
00:57:02,900 –> 00:57:07,600
Lorde You all know.
He wouldn’t say that you just

828
00:57:07,600 –> 00:57:09,600
you just you just never called
Jesus Lord.

829
00:57:11,500 –> 00:57:18,500
Master you always treated me
differently from the others

830
00:57:18,700 –> 00:57:23,400
didn’t you?
To which the answer is just that

831
00:57:23,400 –> 00:57:25,900
last moment, isn’t it?
When Jesus turns at the Last

832
00:57:25,900 –> 00:57:29,400
Supper and says one of you shall
betray me?

833
00:57:32,100 –> 00:57:37,800
And they said it’s Judas.
Nobody knew.

834
00:57:40,800 –> 00:57:46,900
Would you finish it Judas?
Was Christ contaminated by it

835
00:57:48,600 –> 00:57:51,000
and of us dare say a word are we
hey?

836
00:57:52,600 –> 00:57:56,900
And who was who was the winner?
It was Christ and his father.

837
00:57:57,100 –> 00:58:00,800
They lost nothing.
You see we don’t contaminate by

838
00:58:00,800 –> 00:58:06,000
carrying righteousness around we
contaminate by carrying things

839
00:58:06,000 –> 00:58:08,600
which are not for the atonement
around all of us and it’s on

840
00:58:08,600 –> 00:58:11,900
both sides are not in the hearts
of all of us, you know, that’s

841
00:58:11,900 –> 00:58:14,900
the way it is.
We’re all the same.

842
00:58:14,900 –> 00:58:16,900
You see we’re all tied with the
same brush.

843
00:58:17,000 –> 00:58:19,300
I like to see you black.
It makes me a bit wider.

844
00:58:21,200 –> 00:58:22,700
That’s that’s what it is, isn’t
it?

845
00:58:23,500 –> 00:58:27,700
And we all like to preen
ourselves in our pride make

846
00:58:27,700 –> 00:58:31,800
ourselves look righteous.
I hope you know, I’ve been to

847
00:58:31,800 –> 00:58:35,900
every meeting this year.
Never missed one.

848
00:58:37,100 –> 00:58:42,000
I’ve done my readings every day
and never miss one and you can

849
00:58:42,000 –> 00:58:45,900
even now here all the Echoes
can’t you lord lord?

850
00:58:45,900 –> 00:58:48,900
I think the unarmed not as other
men are.

851
00:58:50,600 –> 00:58:54,700
All right.
I need to see the thing is.

852
00:58:56,300 –> 00:58:58,100
It was the Pharisee who said
that.

853
00:59:01,900 –> 00:59:08,400
And then then we say Lord.
I Thank you have not like the

854
00:59:08,408 –> 00:59:12,900
Pharisee everybody take another
the same story and we’re now

855
00:59:12,900 –> 00:59:16,400
just just doing exactly what the
Pharisees said because I’m

856
00:59:16,400 –> 00:59:18,900
christadelphians.
I am doing this and I’m doing

857
00:59:18,900 –> 00:59:24,700
that is exactly the same proud
Spirit you see In actual fact,

858
00:59:24,700 –> 00:59:29,000
we’re all in the same boat.
All of us in the the Pharisees

859
00:59:29,000 –> 00:59:31,000
were never condemned the false
Doctrine.

860
00:59:32,900 –> 00:59:40,000
It is for their behavior and
social we unless we improve all

861
00:59:40,000 –> 00:59:43,500
of us in practicing the
atonement.

862
00:59:44,400 –> 00:59:47,900
These things that are in 1st
Peter are worth following you

863
00:59:47,900 –> 00:59:53,000
see because they then come to
who his own self bare our sins

864
00:59:53,100 –> 00:59:57,900
in his own body on the tree that
we being dead to sins should

865
00:59:57,900 –> 01:00:00,000
live unto righteousness.
And this was not just some

866
01:00:00,000 –> 01:00:01,900
transaction Brethren and
sisters.

867
01:00:03,200 –> 01:00:07,400
Kind of some legal fiction that
was taking place in the Lord

868
01:00:07,400 –> 01:00:15,100
Jesus cries.
This was in his own body.

869
01:00:15,900 –> 01:00:18,100
All right, that’s where he took
place.

870
01:00:20,200 –> 01:00:26,000
Not about it, but in it.
The experienced everything you

871
01:00:26,000 –> 01:00:29,700
say I’m not for the reason that
he was sinful.

872
01:00:29,800 –> 01:00:34,800
He experienced everything that
Sinners should know about

873
01:00:34,800 –> 01:00:39,000
themselves.
He was cast out which Sinners

874
01:00:39,000 –> 01:00:42,400
should be.
Should they not they have no

875
01:00:42,400 –> 01:00:47,900
friends which Sinners shouldn’t
have. he was one that was

876
01:00:48,000 –> 01:00:52,600
maligned which Sinners should be
in other words what he had in

877
01:00:52,600 –> 01:00:57,500
himself and because he had it in
himself in a nature which is

878
01:00:57,500 –> 01:01:02,700
like there’s could have had it
otherwise In a nation that was

879
01:01:02,700 –> 01:01:08,200
like there’s therefore the Lord
Jesus Christ understood and he

880
01:01:08,200 –> 01:01:12,500
didn’t say to his father father.
I just don’t want this lat.

881
01:01:12,600 –> 01:01:16,400
I don’t want to do forgive all
those people in South Brisbane.

882
01:01:16,500 –> 01:01:19,500
I don’t have being with that you
deal with them yourself.

883
01:01:19,500 –> 01:01:21,100
I don’t want to die.
Don’t want to know them.

884
01:01:24,800 –> 01:01:29,500
Peter said now Paul said you
better see the words of Paul

885
01:01:29,500 –> 01:01:44,800
first Timothy to just have a
look. 1st Timothy 2 verse 12.

886
01:01:46,100 –> 01:01:48,800
This must be Timothy 1.
I’m sorry verse 12.

887
01:01:50,800 –> 01:01:53,100
And I thank Christ Jesus our
lord.

888
01:01:54,700 –> 01:01:59,300
Who has enabled me?
For he counted me faithful

889
01:01:59,900 –> 01:02:04,200
putting me into the ministry.
And he’s putting me to his

890
01:02:04,200 –> 01:02:15,500
service who was before a
blasphemer. a persecutor in

891
01:02:15,500 –> 01:02:20,900
Julius But I obtained Mercy
because I did it ignorantly in

892
01:02:20,900 –> 01:02:25,300
unbelief.
And the grace of our Lord which

893
01:02:25,300 –> 01:02:28,400
was exceeding abundant with
faith and love which is in

894
01:02:28,400 –> 01:02:33,200
Christ Jesus.
This is a faithful saying and

895
01:02:33,200 –> 01:02:40,600
worthy of all acceptation.
The Christ Jesus came into the

896
01:02:40,600 –> 01:02:48,800
world. to save sinners Of whom I
am chief, but he wasn’t

897
01:02:48,800 –> 01:02:52,200
exaggerating that does not some
people say I was a bit of

898
01:02:52,200 –> 01:02:55,800
hyperbole on Paul’s part.
He’s not exaggerating what he’s

899
01:02:55,800 –> 01:02:59,000
actually saying is to every
brother and sister in this room.

900
01:02:59,200 –> 01:03:02,500
Look if God can save me you can
save anybody.

901
01:03:02,600 –> 01:03:07,300
That’s what he’s saying.
I’ve killed Disciples of the

902
01:03:07,300 –> 01:03:10,100
Lord Jesus Christ.
I put lots of them in prison

903
01:03:10,100 –> 01:03:13,100
having treated them and I said
you deserve it.

904
01:03:13,800 –> 01:03:18,000
The law has been merciful to me.
Until he says I need saying it

905
01:03:18,000 –> 01:03:21,700
to you brother.
Whoever you are that Christ

906
01:03:21,700 –> 01:03:24,200
Jesus came into the world to
save you.

907
01:03:24,700 –> 01:03:27,300
There’s not sentimental twaddle,
which was not some people, you

908
01:03:27,300 –> 01:03:29,800
know, imagine if you start
quoting verses of this kind not

909
01:03:29,800 –> 01:03:32,100
at all.
This is for real.

910
01:03:32,900 –> 01:03:35,100
That’s what he did.
This is why he spoke to Mary

911
01:03:35,100 –> 01:03:39,800
Magdalene and Matthew just why
he spoke to them and the

912
01:03:39,800 –> 01:03:44,200
publicans and sinners.
And so he obtained Mercy.

913
01:03:44,400 –> 01:03:47,400
All right, just say to yourself
Christ.

914
01:03:47,400 –> 01:03:51,800
Jesus came into the world to
save sinners.

915
01:03:53,200 –> 01:03:57,700
But you can add the words
yourself of whom I am chief is

916
01:03:57,700 –> 01:04:00,400
for you to decide that’s in your
mind, isn’t it?

917
01:04:00,700 –> 01:04:03,700
I mean I say to myself have got
to can save me he can stand save

918
01:04:03,700 –> 01:04:06,200
everybody in this room
everybody.

919
01:04:07,500 –> 01:04:10,700
All right, we should all have to
say that to get right down on

920
01:04:10,700 –> 01:04:15,400
our knees and say it and then
when other people offend us, you

921
01:04:15,400 –> 01:04:18,300
know, and we stand on our
dignity and don’t speak to them

922
01:04:18,300 –> 01:04:21,200
or pass them by in a meeting
room or whatever it is.

923
01:04:23,000 –> 01:04:28,000
And then take bread with Christ.
Who didn’t pass Us by?

924
01:04:30,000 –> 01:04:34,000
But came to us to redeem us and
not only that were sent by his

925
01:04:34,000 –> 01:04:36,900
father to do it and the father’s
will maker of all things.

926
01:04:38,300 –> 01:04:42,400
The father wants us.
The father doesn’t want to lose

927
01:04:42,400 –> 01:04:44,500
us.
He gave his son to save us.

928
01:04:45,100 –> 01:04:47,900
He was more in Earnest about
saving us and we are being

929
01:04:47,900 –> 01:04:50,700
saved.
And it may not it was gonna

930
01:04:50,700 –> 01:04:54,100
practice that with our children
with our neighbor with the

931
01:04:54,100 –> 01:04:57,500
people who treat us.
Lll win are occasions in our

932
01:04:57,500 –> 01:05:01,300
only closure with other
occlusions and stop this

933
01:05:01,300 –> 01:05:04,100
sniping.
So kind of Chesney.

934
01:05:04,100 –> 01:05:07,800
It really isn’t it, you know,
when we’ll get him got him,

935
01:05:08,200 –> 01:05:09,500
right?
That’s another one down.

936
01:05:10,200 –> 01:05:13,100
Of course it is and you can do
that with me.

937
01:05:13,800 –> 01:05:16,500
I can do it with you we can all
do it.

938
01:05:16,800 –> 01:05:18,800
If God sniped at us, we’d all be
dead.

939
01:05:19,600 –> 01:05:23,700
I need Christ sniped we’d all be
dead every single one of us on

940
01:05:23,700 –> 01:05:27,800
Earth.
Instead of which he said come

941
01:05:27,800 –> 01:05:31,200
unto me.
All ye that labor and are heavy

942
01:05:31,200 –> 01:05:36,400
laden and I will give you rest
take my yoke upon you and learn

943
01:05:36,400 –> 01:05:40,800
of me for I am meek and lowly of
heart and ye shall find rest

944
01:05:40,800 –> 01:05:44,900
unto your souls and it’s true.
It is true.

945
01:05:45,800 –> 01:05:50,600
Just going to Ephesians chapter
2 I see our time is Running out

946
01:05:50,600 –> 01:05:52,500
on that sad but still there we
are.

947
01:05:52,500 –> 01:05:58,500
It’s right that he should run
out that’s mortality now these

948
01:05:58,500 –> 01:06:07,400
inceptor to Underwear.
Well, we then all of us in this

949
01:06:07,400 –> 01:06:11,200
room.
Well, we were in verse 12 before

950
01:06:11,200 –> 01:06:14,900
we came into the truth at that
time.

951
01:06:18,300 –> 01:06:26,700
You were without Christ.
I find that terrifying just to

952
01:06:26,700 –> 01:06:30,000
conceive just because there’s
remote just conceived that

953
01:06:30,000 –> 01:06:32,500
suddenly Christ was taken away
from you.

954
01:06:33,400 –> 01:06:35,400
And you had no access to him at
all.

955
01:06:38,300 –> 01:06:43,900
Hey what then?
Or a state around us all useless

956
01:06:43,900 –> 01:06:46,800
absolutely useless more than
that.

957
01:06:46,800 –> 01:06:50,500
This is follow it through he
said you were without Christ.

958
01:06:51,500 –> 01:06:53,800
You were aliens from the
Commonwealth of Israel.

959
01:06:53,800 –> 01:06:58,500
No, hope of Israel strangers
from the covenants of promise.

960
01:06:58,500 –> 01:07:06,400
You did not belong. having no
hope hey.

961
01:07:08,400 –> 01:07:13,000
Just imagine that to you.
Just come to the tourney comes

962
01:07:13,000 –> 01:07:14,900
out with his little Sheaf of
papers.

963
01:07:14,900 –> 01:07:16,600
He said he better sit down mr.
Tenant.

964
01:07:18,700 –> 01:07:23,400
I say yes doctor.
He said I’ve done all I can

965
01:07:24,800 –> 01:07:28,300
we’ve all had a look at your
papers and your x-rays.

966
01:07:33,000 –> 01:07:34,300
And there’s nothing we can do
for you.

967
01:07:37,800 –> 01:07:43,400
There’s no hope.
Pepsi table said to be in isn’t

968
01:07:43,400 –> 01:07:47,900
it?
That’s where we were that’s what

969
01:07:47,900 –> 01:07:51,300
the doctor said.
Is it that’s what he said about

970
01:07:51,300 –> 01:07:55,500
us more than that, but I’m going
to look having no hope and

971
01:07:55,500 –> 01:08:00,600
without God in the world.
No God that’s where we stood

972
01:08:00,600 –> 01:08:05,900
them a box and that’s the same
but at in Romans chapter 3,

973
01:08:05,900 –> 01:08:11,100
isn’t it?
But now in Christ Jesus you who

974
01:08:11,100 –> 01:08:17,200
sometimes were far off we were
way way, you know on the horizon

975
01:08:17,200 –> 01:08:23,300
hardly visible at all.
And God called us in gathered us

976
01:08:23,300 –> 01:08:25,399
unto himself.
Just that’s what he’s saying.

977
01:08:25,399 –> 01:08:28,700
Here.
We are made nigh. by the blood

978
01:08:28,700 –> 01:08:35,500
of Christ That’s the price then
not a ransom price in the sense

979
01:08:35,500 –> 01:08:39,000
that we’ve been ransom for
something and now we are totally

980
01:08:39,000 –> 01:08:42,000
free.
This is the cost of bringing us

981
01:08:42,399 –> 01:08:48,200
to God for he is our peace to
that’s where peace lies.

982
01:08:48,200 –> 01:08:54,100
Hey, it’s lies in Christ.
The Prince of Peace who hath

983
01:08:54,100 –> 01:08:59,899
made both one.
That’s Jew and Gentile.

984
01:09:00,100 –> 01:09:03,100
All right broken down the middle
wall of partition.

985
01:09:03,399 –> 01:09:06,000
The one that existed actually in
the temple, they discovered a

986
01:09:06,200 –> 01:09:09,500
the stone on which was written
to know Gentiles should pass

987
01:09:09,500 –> 01:09:13,000
this point without except on
pain of death.

988
01:09:13,899 –> 01:09:15,600
And that wall has been broken
down.

989
01:09:16,500 –> 01:09:19,800
How did he do it?
Then it tells us having

990
01:09:19,800 –> 01:09:27,100
abolished. in his flesh They
enmity.

991
01:09:30,200 –> 01:09:32,800
Father Thomas says he can’t
abolish what isn’t there.

992
01:09:36,800 –> 01:09:39,899
That’s what that word enmity
there tells us that Christ had

993
01:09:39,899 –> 01:09:44,600
to agonize to achieve.
Wasn’t just something you could

994
01:09:44,600 –> 01:09:51,399
do because he was Son of God.
He had to agonize every step of

995
01:09:51,399 –> 01:09:53,200
the way.
Do you think he wanted to go to

996
01:09:53,200 –> 01:09:56,800
Calvary?
Do you think he wanted to be

997
01:09:56,800 –> 01:09:59,300
there?
Is that what you think he did?

998
01:09:59,300 –> 01:10:02,200
He said go.
Please crucify me some hundred

999
01:10:02,200 –> 01:10:05,300
and two says you remember the
words in Psalm 102.

1000
01:10:05,300 –> 01:10:08,900
I said Lord take me not away in
the midst of my years.

1001
01:10:09,600 –> 01:10:13,400
That’s what he said.
I’m more than that brother and

1002
01:10:13,400 –> 01:10:17,100
sisters just come to Psalm 69
and look at these words just

1003
01:10:17,100 –> 01:10:20,900
have a look at them because it’s
just as well to get hold of the

1004
01:10:21,500 –> 01:10:25,400
awfulness of them because this
is where we are guilty.

1005
01:10:32,000 –> 01:10:37,200
So we have the statement in
verse 7 for thy sake I have

1006
01:10:37,200 –> 01:10:40,000
borne reproach.
This is a song about Christ.

1007
01:10:40,700 –> 01:10:44,800
There are at least at least I
think six direct quotations from

1008
01:10:44,800 –> 01:10:50,400
this Psalm in the New Testament.
I’m become a stranger unto my

1009
01:10:50,400 –> 01:10:54,300
brethren.
I’m an alien on to my mother’s

1010
01:10:54,300 –> 01:10:59,300
children.
So his brothers didn’t want to

1011
01:10:59,308 –> 01:11:04,400
know him.
His step brothers did not want

1012
01:11:04,400 –> 01:11:07,500
to know him.
All right.

1013
01:11:10,000 –> 01:11:12,500
My mother’s children at not
figure father.

1014
01:11:12,500 –> 01:11:14,200
Now.
He’s relating himself to his

1015
01:11:14,200 –> 01:11:16,600
mother.
His father was in heaven.

1016
01:11:18,400 –> 01:11:31,000
Then he says in verse 20.
reproach I’ve broken my heart.

1017
01:11:33,300 –> 01:11:39,500
And I am full of heaviness.
I can hardly read these words

1018
01:11:39,500 –> 01:11:46,800
rather and sisters.
It says and I looked for some to

1019
01:11:46,800 –> 01:11:55,800
take pity but there was none and
for comforters, but I found none

1020
01:11:56,300 –> 01:12:01,400
in locked brothers and sisters.
He wanted and there was nobody

1021
01:12:01,400 –> 01:12:06,800
but nobody alright, nobody from
any occasion in southeast

1022
01:12:06,800 –> 01:12:11,000
Queensland any occasion in Great
Britain any occasion in North

1023
01:12:11,000 –> 01:12:13,100
America looking at our present
terms?

1024
01:12:13,800 –> 01:12:17,100
All right, but yeah, this was
the land as it was then it

1025
01:12:17,100 –> 01:12:22,200
wasn’t this was this is the
world isn’t it where he was when

1026
01:12:22,200 –> 01:12:24,000
he was crucified.
He was written in Hebrew and

1027
01:12:24,000 –> 01:12:26,700
Greek and Latin.
He was for everybody to know.

1028
01:12:28,000 –> 01:12:33,800
And we had no pity God help us
Brethren and sisters if we still

1029
01:12:33,800 –> 01:12:40,800
have no pity.
On his Brethren he’s looking for

1030
01:12:40,800 –> 01:12:46,200
us to take pity and God help us
if there are none.

1031
01:12:47,700 –> 01:12:53,800
We should get numb.
And it’s serious, isn’t it?

1032
01:12:54,900 –> 01:12:57,700
I’m a poison anybody in
particular I’m talking about us

1033
01:12:58,100 –> 01:13:02,900
us as a whole.
See beyond any kind of parties

1034
01:13:02,900 –> 01:13:05,800
and you know friction is not
that at all.

1035
01:13:07,000 –> 01:13:11,100
We’ve got to practice the
atonement we’ve got to do it.

1036
01:13:11,600 –> 01:13:14,900
Otherwise, we shall not be
atoned people in the end

1037
01:13:15,000 –> 01:13:18,300
atonement means reconciliation
and we’ve got to practice

1038
01:13:18,300 –> 01:13:21,200
reconciled it only occurs once
in the New Testament and we got

1039
01:13:21,200 –> 01:13:28,600
to practice it. otherwise crash
will say I don’t know you.

1040
01:13:33,500 –> 01:13:40,800
I forgave you 10,000 talents.
And you’ve been rattling your

1041
01:13:40,800 –> 01:13:43,000
brother’s throat for a hundred
Pence.

1042
01:13:44,600 –> 01:13:49,500
Depart from me.
And you still owe me ten

1043
01:13:49,500 –> 01:13:53,800
thousand talents.
This is awful.

1044
01:13:53,800 –> 01:13:56,100
Isn’t it?
Hey, so it’s clear when you just

1045
01:13:56,100 –> 01:13:59,100
caricature it very slightly.
You can see it and said Lord

1046
01:13:59,100 –> 01:14:02,600
guilty.
That’s then my dear brothers and

1047
01:14:02,608 –> 01:14:07,000
sisters in conclusion.
Learn these lessons that a man

1048
01:14:07,000 –> 01:14:13,400
has to deny himself.
And take up his cross daily to

1049
01:14:13,400 –> 01:14:17,900
follow Christ.
It’s the assertion of self.

1050
01:14:19,200 –> 01:14:23,000
That destroys our Christ
likeness, isn’t it?

1051
01:14:23,200 –> 01:14:30,400
I’m going to practice that.
Paul said I am crucified with

1052
01:14:30,400 –> 01:14:36,500
Christ.
He’s put himself father as one

1053
01:14:36,500 –> 01:14:41,100
of the two thieves.
Or as actually in Christ when

1054
01:14:41,100 –> 01:14:45,400
Christ is rendered immobile.
Hey, that’s how he thinks of it.

1055
01:14:48,700 –> 01:14:52,900
And then he says Paul I bear in
my body the marks of the Lord

1056
01:14:52,900 –> 01:14:55,500
Jesus.
So he’s now carried it to the

1057
01:14:55,500 –> 01:14:59,400
extent that wherever he goes
when they Stone him.

1058
01:15:01,600 –> 01:15:08,800
He goes back to preach there.
When they deny him, he still

1059
01:15:08,800 –> 01:15:12,500
says my brethren.
Remember going back to

1060
01:15:12,500 –> 01:15:14,800
Jerusalem.
Where’s Vinnie been rejected.

1061
01:15:14,900 –> 01:15:17,000
He’s going to take Christ there.
Whatever happens.

1062
01:15:17,000 –> 01:15:20,000
Nothing’s going to stop him for
me to live is Christ.

1063
01:15:20,500 –> 01:15:24,900
So in your family with your
children in your Ecclesia, and

1064
01:15:24,900 –> 01:15:29,100
whatever you are in the street
in the supermarket watch it.

1065
01:15:29,100 –> 01:15:33,800
There’s an opportunity at every
step to live and atoned life

1066
01:15:34,000 –> 01:15:37,000
atoning for other people.
It’s so easy.

1067
01:15:37,900 –> 01:15:40,500
It brings peace of mind.
You don’t have to assert

1068
01:15:40,500 –> 01:15:43,000
anything at all.
Just simply saying.

1069
01:15:43,000 –> 01:15:45,400
Oh don’t mention it.
That’s all right.

1070
01:15:46,600 –> 01:15:49,700
And you discover that people.
Then no.

1071
01:15:50,800 –> 01:15:54,600
There’s a strange thing for you
to say and then you can talk.

1072
01:15:55,600 –> 01:15:57,800
Is your neighbor Neo Neo your
christadelphians?

1073
01:15:59,600 –> 01:16:02,900
I mean by your atonement or if
you told him you that your

1074
01:16:02,900 –> 01:16:04,800
children can’t have any to do
with his children.

1075
01:16:07,800 –> 01:16:11,400
That the children of two sets of
Sinners wasn’t come into

1076
01:16:11,400 –> 01:16:14,100
contact.
Is that how you preach

1077
01:16:14,100 –> 01:16:17,000
Christianity?
Are you preach Christ?

1078
01:16:17,600 –> 01:16:21,900
It can’t be can it can’t be you
got to say to your neighbor.

1079
01:16:21,900 –> 01:16:25,600
Just something that’s to going
to bring them to Christ not push

1080
01:16:25,600 –> 01:16:29,700
them further away.
I said to someone I think was in

1081
01:16:29,700 –> 01:16:33,500
conversation the other day the
brother said, you know, he said

1082
01:16:33,500 –> 01:16:36,000
somebody said to me he said what
are you are you said I’m a

1083
01:16:36,000 –> 01:16:38,400
Christian Delphine the man so
don’t want to know I know one.

1084
01:16:41,100 –> 01:16:45,200
And there are plenty of those
about on that won’t do will it.

1085
01:16:46,100 –> 01:16:51,100
You know, the interesting thing
is that people come into the

1086
01:16:51,100 –> 01:16:56,800
truth by all kinds of ways.
All right.

1087
01:16:57,200 –> 01:17:02,700
I’m most of them are not by the
indoctrination that all those

1088
01:17:02,700 –> 01:17:05,400
doctors will be learned and
believed because those must be

1089
01:17:05,400 –> 01:17:10,200
lessened at all.
I spoke to her brother was very

1090
01:17:10,200 –> 01:17:13,500
intellectual, you know, he’d
been in the Church of England.

1091
01:17:14,100 –> 01:17:19,500
And so I said to me one day I
said tell me what was it that

1092
01:17:19,500 –> 01:17:21,900
attracted you when you came to
our meetings.

1093
01:17:23,700 –> 01:17:25,500
Oh, he said it was the
friendliness.

1094
01:17:28,000 –> 01:17:30,500
So what we’re teaching that’s it
in first of all.

1095
01:17:32,100 –> 01:17:35,100
It was a nature of us.
We have people in our meeting

1096
01:17:35,100 –> 01:17:37,900
room would at Watford and we’re
just an ordinary teacher just

1097
01:17:37,900 –> 01:17:42,400
like yours no better no worse
and people come in and they say,

1098
01:17:43,300 –> 01:17:46,300
oh, it’s like a family, isn’t
it?

1099
01:17:46,900 –> 01:17:48,300
I don’t mean a quarreling
family.

1100
01:17:49,400 –> 01:17:51,900
I mean, it’s like a family
that’s what they feel.

1101
01:17:53,100 –> 01:17:56,300
You know, let me just tell you
and it’s just I must end here

1102
01:17:56,700 –> 01:18:01,700
just tell you about a brother
who came into the truth by being

1103
01:18:02,100 –> 01:18:05,800
Reconciled to God through all
the teaching he came to all of

1104
01:18:05,800 –> 01:18:08,100
that, but I’ll tell you how it
arose.

1105
01:18:09,000 –> 01:18:11,900
Even working in one place will
come time.

1106
01:18:12,500 –> 01:18:15,200
And then the management said to
him.

1107
01:18:16,200 –> 01:18:19,700
We got to another job for you in
the north of England.

1108
01:18:19,900 –> 01:18:21,500
We’d like you to manage our unit
up there.

1109
01:18:21,500 –> 01:18:26,600
So they’ll go so he went up
there and had a fine house.

1110
01:18:26,700 –> 01:18:29,600
He got everything going for him
and he became Restless as

1111
01:18:29,600 –> 01:18:32,500
inside.
And his wife first him which is

1112
01:18:32,500 –> 01:18:35,600
why you Restless.
He said dumb.

1113
01:18:37,500 –> 01:18:39,500
I’m missing the place that I was
in before.

1114
01:18:41,000 –> 01:18:44,200
But she said if that’s so and
this was took some doing for a

1115
01:18:44,200 –> 01:18:46,100
wife.
You got everything there in this

1116
01:18:46,100 –> 01:18:48,300
home.
This is why don’t you speak to

1117
01:18:48,300 –> 01:18:49,400
them?
This is what I sometimes do

1118
01:18:49,400 –> 01:18:53,000
speak to them on the phone.
But why didn’t you mention

1119
01:18:53,000 –> 01:18:55,700
something about your
restlessness?

1120
01:18:57,300 –> 01:19:03,700
so next time you said if I
wanted to come back and say

1121
01:19:03,700 –> 01:19:09,700
whether it be a job for me.
And they said yes Debbie a job.

1122
01:19:09,700 –> 01:19:13,000
He said I’ll take it.
So we gave up all the provisions

1123
01:19:13,000 –> 01:19:16,000
that he had and went back to his
old job a much less a job than

1124
01:19:16,000 –> 01:19:23,600
the one he’d had before. when he
got back he knew the reason of

1125
01:19:23,600 –> 01:19:26,000
his restlessness though.
He hadn’t divined what it was

1126
01:19:26,000 –> 01:19:28,300
about.
It was about a man that was

1127
01:19:28,300 –> 01:19:32,800
there.
And say this man was still there

1128
01:19:32,800 –> 01:19:37,600
and he spoke to him.
And one day that the man said to

1129
01:19:37,600 –> 01:19:41,200
remote who died around our house
on the gave him the date.

1130
01:19:42,900 –> 01:19:46,700
He said we’re having a few folks
around we’d like to come.

1131
01:19:48,200 –> 01:19:52,300
He said yes, I would.
Say went to the house and it

1132
01:19:52,800 –> 01:19:57,000
well, it was a kind of excuse
really he was his wife’s

1133
01:19:57,000 –> 01:19:59,500
birthday.
I don’t mean the man was invited

1134
01:19:59,500 –> 01:20:04,400
but the owner of the house.
And so this man when he got

1135
01:20:04,400 –> 01:20:07,900
there looked around and he then
finally spoke to the man at the

1136
01:20:07,900 –> 01:20:10,700
office who invited him.
He said tell me he said are all

1137
01:20:10,700 –> 01:20:13,800
these before your relations.
He said no.

1138
01:20:15,900 –> 01:20:17,700
This is where all the women are
going into the cabbage in

1139
01:20:17,700 –> 01:20:20,100
bringing place and sources out
note mean drawers and taking

1140
01:20:20,100 –> 01:20:23,200
Knives Out is that I don’t
understand this.

1141
01:20:23,200 –> 01:20:27,500
He said and then a little bit
later on.

1142
01:20:27,500 –> 01:20:32,200
He said he popped up stairs.
You see to the to the toilet.

1143
01:20:34,000 –> 01:20:35,900
When he came down he said to his
wife, he said where’s your

1144
01:20:35,900 –> 01:20:38,500
handbag?
He said, you know, I never let

1145
01:20:38,500 –> 01:20:39,700
it go.
It’s healed up.

1146
01:20:40,600 –> 01:20:43,700
He said I would look at all the
other women.

1147
01:20:45,700 –> 01:20:48,000
He knows all the other women.
I’m nobody got their handbag

1148
01:20:48,000 –> 01:20:50,500
with them.
He said they’re all upstairs on

1149
01:20:50,500 –> 01:20:57,100
the bed.
And it was that now that was a

1150
01:20:57,100 –> 01:20:59,500
sign of the atonement these
people could trust each other.

1151
01:21:01,300 –> 01:21:04,400
And he came into the truth is
who wrote of this in other words

1152
01:21:05,000 –> 01:21:06,500
this brother knew what he was
doing.

1153
01:21:06,900 –> 01:21:09,300
But he knew he told him the
truth and that heartedly and

1154
01:21:09,300 –> 01:21:14,400
well and fully and soundly what
appealed was something else the

1155
01:21:14,400 –> 01:21:18,400
outworking of the atonement in
the family was such that it made

1156
01:21:18,400 –> 01:21:20,800
a family in the Lord Jesus
Christ.

1157
01:21:21,300 –> 01:21:24,700
So we are souls practice it my
dear brothers and sisters.

1158
01:21:25,700 –> 01:21:27,800
Thank you for the privilege of
being together this evening.

1159
01:21:28,400 –> 01:21:30,900
Hope you found something of some
help.

1160
01:21:31,500 –> 01:21:35,300
I may God bless us that finally
when Christ comes.

1161
01:21:36,300 –> 01:21:42,100
We should have been cleansed by
his blood understand faultless

1162
01:21:43,700 –> 01:21:45,400
before the presence of his
glory.
