185: Glenn Williams – Exhortation: Well Pleased

1
00:00:13,800 –> 00:00:15,500
Welcome to good for selfie and
talks.

2
00:00:15,500 –> 00:00:19,200
I’m Levi and I’m Chris and I’m
Brian, thank you for joining us

3
00:00:19,200 –> 00:00:21,900
this week.
On this podcast, we select one

4
00:00:21,900 –> 00:00:26,300
taco week to help us get the
Bible in our daily news feed.

5
00:00:26,500 –> 00:00:29,200
We post a new episode of the
start of each week with a short

6
00:00:29,200 –> 00:00:31,300
intro.
Hand to kind of set the stage

7
00:00:31,300 –> 00:00:33,500
for the talk.
You’re about to listen to and

8
00:00:33,500 –> 00:00:36,300
now let’s talk more about this
week’s talk.

9
00:00:50,200 –> 00:00:52,000
This week’s topic is an
excitation by Brother Glenn.

10
00:00:52,000 –> 00:00:54,500
Williams from the new Linen,
khaleja in Auckland.

11
00:00:54,500 –> 00:00:58,200
New Zealand is titled.
Well pleased, I really enjoyed

12
00:00:58,300 –> 00:01:01,300
this excitation and it’s very
meditational and brother.

13
00:01:01,300 –> 00:01:04,400
Glenn actually starts with the
line you’ve heard before, where

14
00:01:04,400 –> 00:01:06,700
I’m going to be equal to.
A lot of scriptures don’t

15
00:01:06,900 –> 00:01:09,600
basically don’t feel a need to
to keep up.

16
00:01:09,600 –> 00:01:12,800
You can just met, you know,
meditate and be exhorted.

17
00:01:12,800 –> 00:01:19,000
And I think that is that was
really an apt suggestion from

18
00:01:19,000 –> 00:01:21,600
him because he does Go through
quite a lot of references on

19
00:01:21,600 –> 00:01:25,100
this concept of what makes god,
well, pleased in examining that

20
00:01:25,100 –> 00:01:27,100
phrase.
So in a way that’s actually

21
00:01:27,100 –> 00:01:29,600
perfect for a podcast because
you’re likely listening to this,

22
00:01:30,200 –> 00:01:31,600
not with your Bible in front of
you.

23
00:01:31,600 –> 00:01:35,100
And I think with that in mind,
this this education is almost

24
00:01:35,100 –> 00:01:37,200
designed for that.
And I really enjoyed.

25
00:01:37,200 –> 00:01:40,600
It was a really benefited by it,
kind of by The Meditation.

26
00:01:40,600 –> 00:01:45,500
I listen to this whole one, this
whole education in my car on a

27
00:01:45,500 –> 00:01:49,600
single drive and indefinitely
was left in an uplifted.

28
00:01:50,100 –> 00:01:53,200
Place.
And I think that it’s a really,

29
00:01:53,500 –> 00:01:56,600
really great well-constructed
talk excited to share it.

30
00:01:57,400 –> 00:02:00,900
This was a suggestion and we’re
very thankful for that.

31
00:02:01,000 –> 00:02:02,700
So thank you to the sister who
sent it in.

32
00:02:03,200 –> 00:02:04,900
Please do send us all your
suggestions.

33
00:02:04,900 –> 00:02:07,000
If you have a good talk or you
get over here and a good

34
00:02:07,000 –> 00:02:12,500
education, we really benefit
from all the feedback we get.

35
00:02:13,800 –> 00:02:17,600
So this is well pleased by
Brother, Glenn Williams.

36
00:02:18,600 –> 00:02:21,400
Well, good morning, my beloved
brothers and sisters in the

37
00:02:21,400 –> 00:02:22,400
Lord.
Jesus Christ.

38
00:02:23,500 –> 00:02:25,400
By way of excitation this
morning, we’re going to look at

39
00:02:25,408 –> 00:02:31,400
the idea of I am well pleased
God’s perspective and to do

40
00:02:31,400 –> 00:02:32,900
that, we’re going to look at
three examples through

41
00:02:32,900 –> 00:02:35,600
scripture.
Each one is a reflection of the

42
00:02:35,600 –> 00:02:39,000
other and it helps develop a
fuller understanding of what

43
00:02:39,000 –> 00:02:41,900
really makes god.
Well, pleased.

44
00:02:42,500 –> 00:02:45,800
And in turn as we investigate.
This is going to show us what he

45
00:02:45,800 –> 00:02:49,500
actually expects of us.
And also what he’s actually

46
00:02:49,500 –> 00:02:54,300
prepared to give us.
So as per normal and the cases

47
00:02:54,300 –> 00:02:56,900
of these types, the very first
one that we’re going to look at

48
00:02:56,900 –> 00:03:01,000
briefly is in Genesis chapter 1
it’s the creation record.

49
00:03:01,900 –> 00:03:05,400
Now we’ll be using quite a lot
of scripture that this morning

50
00:03:05,400 –> 00:03:09,200
and if you wish to have all my
quotations I can get those to

51
00:03:09,200 –> 00:03:13,400
you later but just let the word
of God wash over you this

52
00:03:13,400 –> 00:03:16,800
morning rather than trying to
frantically turn up these

53
00:03:16,800 –> 00:03:21,100
quotations.
So, what do we have in Genesis?

54
00:03:22,400 –> 00:03:26,000
Well, it’s a Mite of my favorite
parts of scripture, you know,

55
00:03:26,000 –> 00:03:30,600
where we have this, this
unfinished, mess this, the world

56
00:03:30,800 –> 00:03:35,100
covered in water with no purpose
and no form.

57
00:03:36,200 –> 00:03:41,800
And verse 2 says that the Earth
was formless and void and

58
00:03:41,800 –> 00:03:47,200
darkness covered the face of the
depth and in the Hebrew, we get

59
00:03:47,200 –> 00:03:52,700
this idea, it says for herrera’s
Hyatt, ohoven Rorschach old

60
00:03:52,700 –> 00:03:57,400
pony, tale whom so the Earth was
formless to who and vaux, who

61
00:03:57,600 –> 00:04:02,800
these words literally mean it
had no form, no structure, no

62
00:04:02,800 –> 00:04:09,000
purpose.
So is out of this chaos that God

63
00:04:09,000 –> 00:04:11,400
promised that something was
going to happen.

64
00:04:12,700 –> 00:04:17,200
It was seen there with the
spirit of God and what was it

65
00:04:17,200 –> 00:04:19,300
doing?
It was hovering upon the face of

66
00:04:19,300 –> 00:04:22,100
the waters.
And the Hebrews says their

67
00:04:22,200 –> 00:04:24,200
father.
I can’t let him murder of fat

68
00:04:24,200 –> 00:04:28,200
alpana her my mm.
So the spirit of God was poised

69
00:04:28,400 –> 00:04:31,800
and you could see it hovering
and just shaking with power

70
00:04:32,100 –> 00:04:34,600
waiting to be released by the
voice of God.

71
00:04:35,400 –> 00:04:38,600
And God said, let there be
light.

72
00:04:39,000 –> 00:04:41,300
Yeah, he order.
And there was light.

73
00:04:42,200 –> 00:04:46,600
And God saw the light that it
was good and God and that very

74
00:04:46,600 –> 00:04:49,900
first part of the scriptures
separates light from Darkness.

75
00:04:51,300 –> 00:04:54,500
So we had this Divine model out
of chaos, the darkness of an

76
00:04:54,500 –> 00:04:59,500
unshaped unformed world, the
voice of God Was Heard and light

77
00:04:59,900 –> 00:05:03,100
of was revealed upon the world
for the very first time.

78
00:05:04,500 –> 00:05:07,000
And then God’s creative act.
He looked at it, and once he had

79
00:05:07,000 –> 00:05:11,600
created, man, he says that this
is very good, so he took

80
00:05:11,600 –> 00:05:13,900
pleasure, didn’t he?
And his creation?

81
00:05:14,900 –> 00:05:17,500
He seems very good.
He didn’t say is, well pleased

82
00:05:17,700 –> 00:05:20,900
because you see his creation had
yet to be tested.

83
00:05:20,900 –> 00:05:22,400
And that’s the subtle
difference.

84
00:05:22,900 –> 00:05:26,800
So, God introduced a law, not a
whole lot of laws.

85
00:05:26,900 –> 00:05:32,800
One law don’t eat of that tree.
Man did of course as we know and

86
00:05:32,800 –> 00:05:36,500
death came as a result and Men
was expelled from the garden.

87
00:05:37,500 –> 00:05:40,200
So what did God really expect
from Adam and Eve them?

88
00:05:40,700 –> 00:05:44,500
Well, God expected the sacrifice
of obedience.

89
00:05:44,900 –> 00:05:48,600
He wanted Adam and Eve to obey
him and not eat of that tree of

90
00:05:48,600 –> 00:05:52,600
the garden.
So what can we learn from this

91
00:05:52,900 –> 00:05:55,600
lesson here in Genesis chapter
1?

92
00:05:56,600 –> 00:05:59,600
What went wrong, you know?
How could something that was

93
00:05:59,600 –> 00:06:05,400
very good become condemned.
Well, Romans chapter 5 gives us

94
00:06:05,400 –> 00:06:07,600
the answer.
God was not, well pleased with

95
00:06:07,600 –> 00:06:11,300
Adam and Eve because it pulls
the Roman says for as by one

96
00:06:11,300 –> 00:06:16,300
man’s Disobedience.
Many were made Sinners, so by

97
00:06:16,300 –> 00:06:23,400
The Obedience of one shall many
be made righteous, And Samuel

98
00:06:23,600 –> 00:06:27,000
picks up this idea and fish
symbol 15 when he says Heth

99
00:06:27,000 –> 00:06:30,500
Yahweh as greater Delight in
burnt offerings and sacrifices

100
00:06:30,700 –> 00:06:37,400
as no in obeying the voice of
Yahweh, behold to obey is better

101
00:06:37,400 –> 00:06:41,300
than sacrifice and to hearken
than the fat of rams.

102
00:06:42,400 –> 00:06:45,900
God requires, obedience brothers
and sisters more than sacrifice.

103
00:06:46,900 –> 00:06:49,000
So there was going to be a
consequence, wasn’t there.

104
00:06:49,200 –> 00:06:51,900
And that was we know from
Genesis 3:15 that the hill was

105
00:06:51,900 –> 00:06:54,800
to be crushed and bruised until
that time when their head of the

106
00:06:54,800 –> 00:06:57,400
serpent could be crushed and put
to death.

107
00:06:58,200 –> 00:07:02,600
So from that very moment
brothers and sisters, the daily

108
00:07:02,600 –> 00:07:09,400
walk of mankind was affected and
every painful step that we took

109
00:07:09,500 –> 00:07:15,200
in life.
Heel is bruised crushed by the

110
00:07:15,200 –> 00:07:20,300
sin nature that we bear.
So the result of course is the

111
00:07:20,300 –> 00:07:23,500
fall the cast out of the garden.
And the way to the tree of life

112
00:07:23,500 –> 00:07:29,400
was closed, God was displeased
because of unrighteousness.

113
00:07:31,200 –> 00:07:34,800
So that’s the model we have the
template that failed in Genesis

114
00:07:35,600 –> 00:07:38,400
and now we’re going to see this
template applied to the life of

115
00:07:38,400 –> 00:07:39,800
our Lord.
Jesus Christ.

116
00:07:39,900 –> 00:07:42,200
The first time that happens
brothers and sisters in the

117
00:07:42,200 –> 00:07:46,700
event of his baptism, Once
again, there’s Darkness upon the

118
00:07:46,700 –> 00:07:48,600
face of the u.s. is some Gentile
night.

119
00:07:48,900 –> 00:07:51,100
It’s going to be broken by the
voice of God.

120
00:07:51,100 –> 00:07:53,800
Who’s going to reveal the light
of the world?

121
00:07:54,900 –> 00:07:58,800
And fulfillment of Isaiah 42,
which says behold my servant

122
00:07:58,800 –> 00:08:06,600
behold my servant whom I uphold
mine at, let says God in whom my

123
00:08:06,600 –> 00:08:11,100
soul.
Delighteth I have put my spirit

124
00:08:11,400 –> 00:08:14,600
in him.
He shall bring forth judgment to

125
00:08:14,600 –> 00:08:17,400
the Gentiles.
Deus.

126
00:08:17,400 –> 00:08:21,700
Ex I got away have cool.
Be in righteousness.

127
00:08:21,900 –> 00:08:24,600
I will hold thy hand.
I will keep thee.

128
00:08:24,700 –> 00:08:29,000
And I will give thee for a
covenant of the people for a

129
00:08:29,000 –> 00:08:32,100
light to the Gentiles and
brothers and sisters.

130
00:08:32,100 –> 00:08:34,299
That’s exactly what happened at
the baptism.

131
00:08:34,299 –> 00:08:36,299
Our Lord, Jesus Christ and make
you three, isn’t it?

132
00:08:36,400 –> 00:08:40,799
LO a voice from Heaven.
Said, this is my beloved Son.

133
00:08:40,799 –> 00:08:42,500
In whom I am.
Well pleased.

134
00:08:44,200 –> 00:08:46,800
And you know what strikes me the
most brothers and sisters about

135
00:08:46,800 –> 00:08:51,100
that.
Is that to this point?

136
00:08:51,500 –> 00:08:57,200
Jesus has not done anything.
He hasn’t gone and preached.

137
00:08:57,200 –> 00:09:00,300
The gospel in the temple.
He hasn’t taught it in the

138
00:09:00,300 –> 00:09:01,300
wilderness.
He hasn’t healed.

139
00:09:01,300 –> 00:09:03,800
The sick, he hasn’t walked on
water, he hasn’t turned water

140
00:09:03,800 –> 00:09:05,900
into wine.
He hasn’t fed 5,000.

141
00:09:05,900 –> 00:09:08,500
He hasn’t read, raise the dead,
he hasn’t died.

142
00:09:08,600 –> 00:09:11,600
He hasn’t been resurrected and
he hasn’t ascended to the right

143
00:09:11,600 –> 00:09:16,300
hand of his father yet.
God says, this is my son in whom

144
00:09:16,300 –> 00:09:18,800
I’m well, pleased, he has
performed.

145
00:09:18,800 –> 00:09:24,200
No great X.
Because God could see those

146
00:09:24,200 –> 00:09:27,500
daily steps.
That the Lord, Jesus Christ was

147
00:09:27,500 –> 00:09:32,500
taking in his life before he did
those great acts of service.

148
00:09:33,400 –> 00:09:38,700
Every day, his heel was bruised
by the decisions he made for his

149
00:09:38,700 –> 00:09:46,400
father, in him I’m well pleased
God does not expect great things

150
00:09:46,400 –> 00:09:50,000
from us brothers and sisters but
he does expect the sacrifice of

151
00:09:50,000 –> 00:09:56,700
obedience, not our will But his
to be done and this was seen in

152
00:09:56,700 –> 00:09:58,200
Christ.
The riders that Hebrew is in

153
00:09:58,200 –> 00:10:02,300
chapter 5 tells us that although
he was a son.

154
00:10:03,500 –> 00:10:07,600
Yet he learned obedience by the
things he suffered.

155
00:10:08,500 –> 00:10:11,800
Being made perfect.
He became the author of Eternal

156
00:10:11,800 –> 00:10:16,200
salvation unto them that obey
him.

157
00:10:17,300 –> 00:10:19,600
That’s the principal brothers
and sisters, isn’t it?

158
00:10:20,100 –> 00:10:23,800
Peter C is the elect according
to the foreknowledge of God, the

159
00:10:23,800 –> 00:10:26,600
Father through the
sanctification of the spirit

160
00:10:26,600 –> 00:10:30,300
unto obedience in the sprinkling
of the blood of Jesus Christ.

161
00:10:30,800 –> 00:10:34,300
This Is The Covenant that we
need to be in brothers and

162
00:10:34,300 –> 00:10:37,200
sisters.
These are the sacrifices that

163
00:10:37,200 –> 00:10:42,100
God is well pleased with And
Hebrews 11 of chapter of faith.

164
00:10:42,100 –> 00:10:45,300
It talks about the faithful
Abel, doesn’t it?

165
00:10:45,400 –> 00:10:48,600
He offered to God, a more.
Excellent sacrifice than Cain.

166
00:10:49,200 –> 00:10:53,400
What was important about that?
Well, as this is a sec for spice

167
00:10:53,400 –> 00:10:58,600
by which he obtained witness
that he was righteous, God

168
00:10:58,800 –> 00:11:03,500
testifying of his gifts and
that, but by it being dead yet

169
00:11:03,500 –> 00:11:07,700
speaketh, that’s phenomenal.
Brothers and sisters, isn’t it

170
00:11:07,700 –> 00:11:11,500
was offered an obedience by the
the process that is seen done

171
00:11:11,500 –> 00:11:13,800
before the slaying of the land
for the covering of sin.

172
00:11:14,300 –> 00:11:17,700
The first flocks, first of his
flock was offered in that way

173
00:11:18,100 –> 00:11:22,300
and he was declared righteous
It’s the Greek idea of the word

174
00:11:22,300 –> 00:11:27,800
matter which is used twice in
that verse. and it means to give

175
00:11:27,800 –> 00:11:33,200
testimony and to give evidence
and to be a witness So who is

176
00:11:33,200 –> 00:11:35,400
this person?
That was bearing witness and

177
00:11:35,400 –> 00:11:38,000
testifying on behalf of the did
Abel.

178
00:11:39,700 –> 00:11:42,100
That was God himself, brothers
and sisters.

179
00:11:42,600 –> 00:11:47,400
God gave evidence on behalf of
Abel and God has prepared to do

180
00:11:47,400 –> 00:11:50,200
that for the righteous, isn’t it
phenomenal?

181
00:11:51,500 –> 00:11:53,400
So how can we apply this to
ourselves?

182
00:11:53,400 –> 00:11:57,200
What is good and acceptable?
Well, Peter says that we are

183
00:11:57,200 –> 00:12:01,200
living stones, built up into a
spiritual house, a holy

184
00:12:01,200 –> 00:12:03,500
priesthood and he says to offer
up.

185
00:12:03,500 –> 00:12:06,800
This is our purpose to offer up
spiritual sacrifices that are

186
00:12:06,800 –> 00:12:09,200
acceptable to God by Jesus
Christ.

187
00:12:10,200 –> 00:12:12,000
Well, that’s great.
We know that we have to do these

188
00:12:12,000 –> 00:12:15,200
spiritual sacrifices, but, but
Peter, what are they?

189
00:12:16,000 –> 00:12:18,200
Well, Paul to the Romans starts
to Define them.

190
00:12:18,200 –> 00:12:22,000
This is yield yourselves up to
God, not as instruments of

191
00:12:22,000 –> 00:12:25,100
unrighteousness under Cindy
says, but as those that are

192
00:12:25,100 –> 00:12:27,800
alive from the dead and your
members as instruments of

193
00:12:27,800 –> 00:12:32,500
righteousness to God, That’s
what God requires of us.

194
00:12:32,900 –> 00:12:35,300
Our lives are to be his
instruments.

195
00:12:37,200 –> 00:12:40,600
So, how else can we do this?
We can do it with what we do.

196
00:12:41,900 –> 00:12:44,800
Well, the writers of the Hebrews
says it’s not just that it’s

197
00:12:44,800 –> 00:12:49,600
also the sacrifice of our lips.
Hebrews 13, says by him.

198
00:12:49,600 –> 00:12:54,300
Therefore, let us offer the
sacrifice of God continually.

199
00:12:54,400 –> 00:12:57,500
That is the fruit of our lips.
Giving, thanks under his name,

200
00:12:58,300 –> 00:12:59,400
we are to do.
Good.

201
00:12:59,400 –> 00:13:02,400
We are to communicate.
Forget not for what such

202
00:13:02,400 –> 00:13:06,900
sacrifices.
Such sacrifices God is.

203
00:13:06,900 –> 00:13:11,400
Well, pleased.
In pool to the, to the

204
00:13:11,400 –> 00:13:15,400
Philippians, shows us how that
happened in a real life

205
00:13:15,400 –> 00:13:18,300
situation where he was talking
about the gifts that

206
00:13:18,400 –> 00:13:21,700
epaphroditus brought from the
Ecclesia to him.

207
00:13:21,700 –> 00:13:24,400
And he says, you know, I’ve
received these gifts that were

208
00:13:24,400 –> 00:13:29,200
sent from you as an odor of a
sweet smell, a sacrifice

209
00:13:29,200 –> 00:13:32,600
acceptable and well pleasing to
God.

210
00:13:34,100 –> 00:13:35,900
You see brothers and sisters
were starting to build up a

211
00:13:35,908 –> 00:13:39,900
picture of what God is.
Well, pleased with the things

212
00:13:39,900 –> 00:13:42,900
that we do, the things that we
say, how we communicate, how we

213
00:13:42,900 –> 00:13:46,000
do, good one with one another
how who support one another in

214
00:13:46,000 –> 00:13:50,100
times, like this with love and
care and whatever we have at our

215
00:13:50,100 –> 00:13:53,800
dispensary.
And it rises to God as a

216
00:13:53,808 –> 00:13:57,500
sweet-smelling, savour of an
acceptable sacrifice in which he

217
00:13:57,500 –> 00:14:01,900
is, well pleased.
The other thing that we’re told

218
00:14:01,900 –> 00:14:07,200
in the Psalms that God will not
despise there’s a broken and a

219
00:14:07,208 –> 00:14:13,200
contrite spirit and a broken and
contrite heart these things.

220
00:14:13,200 –> 00:14:20,100
God will not despise.
So God requires from us, a

221
00:14:20,100 –> 00:14:24,500
sacrifice of our lives.
Pull expounds that idea when you

222
00:14:24,500 –> 00:14:27,800
see is, you know, I beseech you
therefore Brethren by the

223
00:14:27,800 –> 00:14:32,500
mercies of God that you present
your bodies as a Living

224
00:14:32,500 –> 00:14:36,600
Sacrifice, holy acceptable, unto
God, because that’s your that’s

225
00:14:36,600 –> 00:14:40,600
the bare minimum that’s the is
the reasonable service.

226
00:14:41,100 –> 00:14:43,800
If you want to go beyond that,
that’s fine.

227
00:14:43,800 –> 00:14:47,000
But that’s the minimum.
God expects all of your life,

228
00:14:47,600 –> 00:14:53,000
all of the time.
And if you can add to that, Do.

229
00:14:54,700 –> 00:14:56,000
The principle in Deuteronomy,
isn’t it?

230
00:14:56,000 –> 00:14:58,300
This is, you know, that’s how I
live the love, the Lord, thy God

231
00:14:58,300 –> 00:15:02,900
with 2% of thy heart with some
of thy soul and with with any of

232
00:15:02,900 –> 00:15:06,000
your might or strength that’s
left over from from working

233
00:15:06,000 –> 00:15:08,900
hard, It doesn’t say that at
all.

234
00:15:08,900 –> 00:15:10,700
Does it Brothers?
This as we know that as soon as

235
00:15:10,700 –> 00:15:13,400
love the Lord thy God with all
thy heart, with all thy soul

236
00:15:13,400 –> 00:15:17,900
with all thy might Well,
sometimes, you know, we’re so

237
00:15:17,900 –> 00:15:20,500
exhausted.
And we turn that focus on

238
00:15:20,500 –> 00:15:21,900
ourselves.
We ask that question.

239
00:15:22,300 –> 00:15:25,800
Can we really say that?
If ourselves, what if we could

240
00:15:26,800 –> 00:15:31,400
Proceed of Josiah Second Kings
wasn’t 23 like under him.

241
00:15:31,400 –> 00:15:35,000
There was no king before him,
that turned to the Lord, with

242
00:15:35,000 –> 00:15:38,700
all of his heart with all of his
soul, with all of his might,

243
00:15:38,700 –> 00:15:41,400
according to all of the law of
Moses.

244
00:15:41,600 –> 00:15:46,700
And neither after him, Rose
there, any such like, hmm.

245
00:15:48,900 –> 00:15:53,000
Phenomenal words.
But that’s what God expects that

246
00:15:53,000 –> 00:15:58,100
was what God was well-pleased.
God requires all of us all of

247
00:15:58,100 –> 00:16:06,200
the time that’s what’s well
pleasing. so, the requirement

248
00:16:07,500 –> 00:16:12,100
That needed to be done.
Of course was the heel had to be

249
00:16:12,100 –> 00:16:16,400
bruised because of what happened
in Genesis and in the baptism of

250
00:16:16,400 –> 00:16:18,800
our Lord Jesus Christ.
We can see this process,

251
00:16:18,800 –> 00:16:23,700
demonstrated can’t we wear?
He daily was prepared to every

252
00:16:23,700 –> 00:16:27,100
painful.
Step crushing that nature, until

253
00:16:27,100 –> 00:16:31,700
that day, when he finally
crucified it upon that cross.

254
00:16:33,200 –> 00:16:34,800
It was seen in his baptism,
isn’t it?

255
00:16:34,800 –> 00:16:38,900
What he was prepared to do?
And when we look at the Matthew

256
00:16:38,900 –> 00:16:42,200
record of his baptism, we have
this really interesting

257
00:16:42,200 –> 00:16:45,600
expression when Jesus Came From
Galilee to the Jordan, to be

258
00:16:45,600 –> 00:16:47,600
baptized of him.
That’s John the Baptist.

259
00:16:47,900 –> 00:16:51,100
John forbade him and says, I
have need to be baptized of you,

260
00:16:51,100 –> 00:16:55,300
and you come to me and Jesus
answered him and said this.

261
00:16:56,700 –> 00:17:01,600
Suffer it to be.
So now, For thus, it becometh

262
00:17:02,000 –> 00:17:06,800
us.
To fulfill all righteousness and

263
00:17:06,800 –> 00:17:07,800
we need suffered.
Mm.

264
00:17:08,099 –> 00:17:10,300
Jesus were baptized and straight
away as he came up out of the

265
00:17:10,300 –> 00:17:12,300
water, though.
The heavens were opened and he

266
00:17:12,300 –> 00:17:16,500
saw the spirit of God descending
like a dove and Lighting on him

267
00:17:17,300 –> 00:17:20,599
and lo The Voice from Heaven
says, this is my beloved Son in

268
00:17:20,599 –> 00:17:28,300
whom I’m well pleased For thus
it becometh us to fulfill all

269
00:17:28,300 –> 00:17:31,200
righteousness.
I thought Michael is working

270
00:17:31,200 –> 00:17:33,200
Lord, Jesus Christ.
Lord Jesus Christ is going to

271
00:17:33,200 –> 00:17:36,400
come and he was going to fulfill
all righteousness which is his

272
00:17:36,400 –> 00:17:37,300
no, no.
John.

273
00:17:38,500 –> 00:17:41,500
I need to be baptized of thee,
it’s for us to fulfill all

274
00:17:41,500 –> 00:17:45,100
righteousness.
A sinful man.

275
00:17:47,100 –> 00:17:49,400
In a sinless, man.
Brothers and sisters.

276
00:17:50,500 –> 00:17:54,600
Together, they would fulfill all
righteousness.

277
00:17:55,500 –> 00:18:02,400
The glory of God, demonstrated
in them together, will fill the

278
00:18:02,400 –> 00:18:06,100
Earth with God’s glory.
That’s something that Christ

279
00:18:06,100 –> 00:18:08,800
could not do by himself brothers
and sisters.

280
00:18:11,300 –> 00:18:15,500
Isaiah, 60 says, Behold The
Darkness shall cover the Earth

281
00:18:15,500 –> 00:18:19,000
and gross Darkness, the people,
but the Lord shall arise upon

282
00:18:19,000 –> 00:18:21,500
thee and His glory shall be seen
upon thee.

283
00:18:21,600 –> 00:18:24,300
And the Gentiles shall come into
thy light, and that Kings to the

284
00:18:24,300 –> 00:18:27,300
brightness of thy rising.
And that’s what Christ was going

285
00:18:27,300 –> 00:18:29,500
to do.
He’s going to draw the Gentiles

286
00:18:29,500 –> 00:18:33,100
and the kings of the earth to
righteousness in the face of

287
00:18:33,100 –> 00:18:36,900
God.
John The Sinner Jesus, the

288
00:18:36,900 –> 00:18:39,500
sinless, one both declaring God,
right.

289
00:18:39,500 –> 00:18:41,800
That All Flesh must be put to
death.

290
00:18:42,100 –> 00:18:45,500
This is Isaiah 40.
The words of John the Baptist

291
00:18:45,500 –> 00:18:47,800
until we just like the voice
that Christ in the wilderness

292
00:18:47,800 –> 00:18:52,900
and says what shall I cry cry.
All flesh is grass and all the

293
00:18:52,900 –> 00:18:55,000
goodliness thereof is as a
flower of the field that

294
00:18:55,000 –> 00:18:59,900
withereth and fadeth because the
spirit of Yahweh had glowed upon

295
00:19:00,000 –> 00:19:01,900
it.
Surely the people as grass.

296
00:19:02,100 –> 00:19:05,500
And now that’s that Raquel him.
The spirit of God had breathed

297
00:19:05,500 –> 00:19:08,300
down and lighted upon the Lord.
Jesus Christ is the light of the

298
00:19:08,308 –> 00:19:11,800
world and that gross Gentile
darkness and there’s a fusion

299
00:19:11,800 –> 00:19:14,000
between a sinless man and the
sinner.

300
00:19:14,200 –> 00:19:18,900
Man, and together.
They were going to complete the

301
00:19:18,900 –> 00:19:21,900
glory of God upon the face of
the Earth and so, brothers and

302
00:19:21,900 –> 00:19:24,000
sisters.
We have that hope.

303
00:19:24,000 –> 00:19:27,400
Because in that the result was
that, that way to the tree of

304
00:19:27,400 –> 00:19:30,800
life that was closed and Genesis
was suddenly made open.

305
00:19:33,100 –> 00:19:36,500
The Lord Jesus Christ lighted
the way to Salvation.

306
00:19:38,400 –> 00:19:42,800
And God was pleased.
The righteousness was in the Sun

307
00:19:43,000 –> 00:19:47,600
and righteousness, then could be
imputed to sinful men that

308
00:19:47,600 –> 00:19:53,600
became Sons with Christ.
Second Corinthians chapter 5

309
00:19:53,600 –> 00:19:57,400
says to wit that which we read
this this morning to what that

310
00:19:57,400 –> 00:20:01,800
God was in Christ.
Reconciling the world unto

311
00:20:01,800 –> 00:20:07,600
himself, not imputing their
trespasses unto them as he has

312
00:20:07,600 –> 00:20:13,200
commanded a committed unto us,
the word of reconciliation God

313
00:20:13,200 –> 00:20:17,200
has prepared to declare us
righteous to reconcile us back

314
00:20:17,200 –> 00:20:21,700
to him because of what Christ
achieved in his has

315
00:20:21,900 –> 00:20:25,600
Resurrection.
That is beautiful words,

316
00:20:25,600 –> 00:20:31,900
brothers and sisters.
With made him to be sin for us,

317
00:20:32,400 –> 00:20:37,100
who knew no sin.
That we might be made the

318
00:20:37,100 –> 00:20:39,700
righteousness of God.
That’s the title brothers and

319
00:20:39,700 –> 00:20:43,300
sisters are the sons of God.
We are made the righteousness of

320
00:20:43,300 –> 00:20:47,200
God in him.
She’s sick and Corinthians 5

321
00:20:47,200 –> 00:20:51,900
verse 21.
They are absolutely phenomenal

322
00:20:51,900 –> 00:20:56,400
words, brothers and sisters.
The last thing that we’ll look

323
00:20:56,400 –> 00:20:58,600
at this morning brothers and
sisters is the event of the

324
00:20:58,600 –> 00:21:02,000
Transfiguration.
Once again, we have the voice of

325
00:21:02,000 –> 00:21:04,600
God, through the darkness of
that night.

326
00:21:05,000 –> 00:21:10,400
Separating our Lord Jesus Christ
in glory Mark, chapter 9 says,

327
00:21:10,400 –> 00:21:12,400
and there was a cloud that
overshadowed them and a voice

328
00:21:12,400 –> 00:21:15,200
came out saying.
This is my beloved Son, hear you

329
00:21:15,200 –> 00:21:20,800
have So what we see now is when
that voice of God came yours and

330
00:21:20,800 –> 00:21:25,500
just declaring the light of the
world as the Lord, Jesus Christ,

331
00:21:25,900 –> 00:21:27,600
what happens?
Now, when the Gloria, when the

332
00:21:27,608 –> 00:21:32,900
voice of God comes the glory of
God as revealed in the face of

333
00:21:32,900 –> 00:21:35,900
Jesus cross, this is the next
phase brothers and sisters.

334
00:21:36,200 –> 00:21:38,900
This is this is going to be as
it says for God.

335
00:21:38,900 –> 00:21:41,600
Who commanded the light to shine
out of Darkness, has shined in

336
00:21:41,600 –> 00:21:44,700
our hearts to give us the
knowledge of the glory of God

337
00:21:44,700 –> 00:21:48,000
and the face of Jesus Christ.
His Paul to the Engines.

338
00:21:49,000 –> 00:21:53,800
So there’s our Lord Jesus Christ
in glory standing side by side

339
00:21:53,800 –> 00:21:59,500
with the resurrected dead.
So symbol, is it not of that

340
00:21:59,600 –> 00:22:03,400
that coming time we’re very
shortly, the Lord of all the

341
00:22:03,400 –> 00:22:06,700
Earth shall come the Trump of
God shall sound and the dead in

342
00:22:06,700 –> 00:22:08,000
Christ.
Shall be raised.

343
00:22:09,500 –> 00:22:11,600
The glory of God will be
revealed.

344
00:22:12,600 –> 00:22:14,800
You know, when the disciples
heard this Matthew tells us that

345
00:22:14,800 –> 00:22:18,500
they were afraid and they fell
on their faces and Jesus came

346
00:22:18,500 –> 00:22:23,400
and touched them and says arise
and be not afraid.

347
00:22:24,900 –> 00:22:26,900
Linda’s.
These days of turmoil and

348
00:22:26,900 –> 00:22:30,600
confusion, brothers and sisters.
We need to remember those words

349
00:22:30,600 –> 00:22:35,300
of our Lord, Jesus Christ arise
and be not afraid.

350
00:22:37,800 –> 00:22:43,300
So the expectation brothers and
sisters and this instance was,

351
00:22:43,900 –> 00:22:47,900
it was demonstrating the reward
that we have from obedience.

352
00:22:48,200 –> 00:22:50,700
Remember in the guardian, there
was no, obedience is

353
00:22:50,700 –> 00:22:53,900
Disobedience and the baptism
there was a demonstration of

354
00:22:53,900 –> 00:22:57,000
obedience and the resurrected
son and tight.

355
00:22:57,400 –> 00:22:59,300
There was going.
Now going to be the reward of

356
00:22:59,300 –> 00:23:02,200
obedience, the head of sin would
be crushed and the Earth

357
00:23:02,200 –> 00:23:06,100
restored back to God. but you
see obedience was not going to

358
00:23:06,108 –> 00:23:10,200
be just that single act of him
dying, but he was rather going

359
00:23:10,200 –> 00:23:16,100
to be made Holy by the sacrifice
and submission of will Hebrews

360
00:23:16,100 –> 00:23:21,400
10 says this. for when he said
sacrifice and offerings an

361
00:23:21,400 –> 00:23:24,200
offering for sin that thou
wouldest, not neither hath our

362
00:23:24,200 –> 00:23:27,500
pleasure in them, which are
offered by the law, then he

363
00:23:27,500 –> 00:23:34,400
said, lo I come soon as Jesus to
do thy will o God, he taketh

364
00:23:34,400 –> 00:23:38,000
away the first that he might
establish the second by the

365
00:23:38,000 –> 00:23:42,200
which will we are Sanctified
through the offering of Jesus

366
00:23:42,300 –> 00:23:46,600
Christ, once for all so just as
Jesus Christ was transfigured,

367
00:23:46,800 –> 00:23:51,800
that metamorphosis From the
sinful flesh to that glorified

368
00:23:51,800 –> 00:23:54,700
sinless, man, their body of
Flesh glorified and as a

369
00:23:54,800 –> 00:24:00,000
spiritual body so that we have
that same hope. so, the

370
00:24:00,000 –> 00:24:03,700
requirement that we see now is
that the heel has been bruised,

371
00:24:03,700 –> 00:24:07,200
but also in the bruising of
that, heerden that finality of

372
00:24:07,200 –> 00:24:13,200
his activist death, the head of
sin was crushed so what we see

373
00:24:13,200 –> 00:24:19,000
now is that God tells us that
salvation is perfected through

374
00:24:19,000 –> 00:24:24,300
sufferings What do I say that?
But we’ve already talked about

375
00:24:24,300 –> 00:24:28,600
how the heel was bruised and
that was going to be continual

376
00:24:28,700 –> 00:24:31,700
problem for us through all of
our life.

377
00:24:32,900 –> 00:24:35,700
But you see Isaiah 53 tells us
yet.

378
00:24:35,700 –> 00:24:40,000
It proved pleased, the Lord to
bruise him.

379
00:24:41,700 –> 00:24:49,300
He God has put him to grief when
their God hath made his soul an

380
00:24:49,308 –> 00:24:52,200
offering for sin, it pleased,
God to bruise him, it pleased

381
00:24:52,200 –> 00:24:57,800
him to have him in grief.
That doesn’t mean brothers and

382
00:24:57,800 –> 00:24:59,300
sisters.
Our father took pleasure in the

383
00:24:59,300 –> 00:25:01,800
suffering of his son, not at
all.

384
00:25:03,300 –> 00:25:06,100
What it means, brothers and
sisters is they took pleasure.

385
00:25:06,600 –> 00:25:10,400
In what the sufferings of his
son, was able to achieve.

386
00:25:11,200 –> 00:25:15,800
That’s the difference through
obedience and the putting to

387
00:25:15,800 –> 00:25:19,500
death of his will Jesus.
Gain the victory.

388
00:25:19,900 –> 00:25:22,200
He was given the keys of death
and the grave.

389
00:25:22,200 –> 00:25:24,600
All things in Heaven and Earth
are going to be put under him

390
00:25:24,800 –> 00:25:29,400
into subjection to him.
And the Lord himself says in the

391
00:25:29,408 –> 00:25:32,100
Gospel of John he says therefore
doth my father, love me.

392
00:25:33,100 –> 00:25:36,600
He loves me because I lay down
my life, that it might be taken

393
00:25:36,600 –> 00:25:38,900
up again.
No, man, taketh it from me, but

394
00:25:38,900 –> 00:25:42,300
I lay it down myself.
I have the power to lay it down.

395
00:25:42,300 –> 00:25:44,400
I have the power to take it up
again.

396
00:25:44,600 –> 00:25:49,400
This commandment I received from
my father, so yes, that pleased,

397
00:25:49,400 –> 00:25:52,000
the Lord to bruise them and to
put him to grief.

398
00:25:53,600 –> 00:25:56,800
For the purpose that when he
shall make his soul an offering

399
00:25:56,800 –> 00:26:02,900
for sin, he shall see his seed.
He shall prolong his days and

400
00:26:02,900 –> 00:26:05,600
the pleasure of the Lord shall
prosper in his hand.

401
00:26:06,500 –> 00:26:08,800
So, in going through this
process, brothers and sisters,

402
00:26:09,600 –> 00:26:14,900
the pleasure of Yahweh was going
to prosper in his hand because

403
00:26:15,400 –> 00:26:18,900
when he sells see the travail of
his soul shall be satisfied and

404
00:26:18,900 –> 00:26:22,100
by his knowledge, shall my
righteous servant.

405
00:26:23,000 –> 00:26:28,000
Justify Mini.
And he does that by being their

406
00:26:28,000 –> 00:26:31,200
iniquities is Isaiah.
It’s what we remember this

407
00:26:31,200 –> 00:26:33,900
morning brothers and sisters in
the Lord.

408
00:26:33,900 –> 00:26:37,100
Jesus Christ has done for us
upon him.

409
00:26:37,100 –> 00:26:44,200
He bore the iniquity of us.
All he did not suffer instead of

410
00:26:44,200 –> 00:26:49,000
us, brothers and sisters but he
suffered with us for a become a

411
00:26:49,400 –> 00:26:55,000
US to fulfill all righteousness.
So in this way, you became the

412
00:26:55,000 –> 00:26:59,400
author of Eternal salvation unto
all those who obey him.

413
00:27:00,800 –> 00:27:03,300
So, brothers and sisters, we are
an extension therefore of the

414
00:27:03,300 –> 00:27:06,600
sufferings of our Lord Jesus
Christ as it were the sufferings

415
00:27:06,600 –> 00:27:11,900
of his body Hebrews says.
So therefore let us now go

416
00:27:11,900 –> 00:27:14,100
therefore unto him without the
camp.

417
00:27:14,800 –> 00:27:18,200
Bearing his reproach.
That’s the principle of Timothy

418
00:27:18,200 –> 00:27:21,900
brothers and sisters.
Because if we suffer with them,

419
00:27:22,100 –> 00:27:25,100
we shall reign with him if we
deny him.

420
00:27:26,100 –> 00:27:30,400
He will also deny us.
So the result brothers and

421
00:27:30,400 –> 00:27:34,200
sisters with the way of the tree
of life was revealed in glory

422
00:27:35,000 –> 00:27:39,600
for it pleased, the father that
in him, should all fullness

423
00:27:39,600 –> 00:27:44,000
dwell having made peace through
the blood of the Cross.

424
00:27:44,000 –> 00:27:48,800
By him reconcile, all things
again unto himself.

425
00:27:50,300 –> 00:27:52,500
And that wonderful words.
Are they brothers and sisters.

426
00:27:52,800 –> 00:27:55,400
So was God, pleased to put the
sacrifice.

427
00:27:56,100 –> 00:28:00,600
Absolutely God was well-pleased.
And he even demonstrated that

428
00:28:00,800 –> 00:28:06,500
and showing his son and glory
and the writer to the Hebrews

429
00:28:06,500 –> 00:28:11,100
says for chapter 2, for it,
became him for whom are all

430
00:28:11,100 –> 00:28:16,100
things and by whom are all
things in bringing many sons to

431
00:28:16,100 –> 00:28:20,000
glory to make the captain of
their salvation.

432
00:28:20,100 –> 00:28:25,000
Perfect through suffering. and
so, brothers and sisters and

433
00:28:25,000 –> 00:28:30,900
that Transfiguration, it shows
us that principle that Lord,

434
00:28:30,900 –> 00:28:34,000
Jesus Christ.
Brought many sons to Glory

435
00:28:34,300 –> 00:28:41,700
through his suffering.
So, obedience that was required,

436
00:28:41,700 –> 00:28:45,900
was not just a single act, but
rather our Lord was made Holy by

437
00:28:45,900 –> 00:28:48,800
the sacrifice and daily
submission of his will.

438
00:28:50,100 –> 00:28:55,600
He gave all of his life, all of
the time. just as our Salvation

439
00:28:55,600 –> 00:29:00,700
is perfected through suffering
just as Christ’s was Not only

440
00:29:00,700 –> 00:29:04,700
we’ve been created for thy
pleasure is revelation over also

441
00:29:04,700 –> 00:29:07,600
being produced, I’m unto the
adoption of children by Jesus

442
00:29:07,600 –> 00:29:11,900
Christ.
According to God’s good pleasure

443
00:29:11,900 –> 00:29:15,800
of his will.
And therefore he has made us

444
00:29:15,800 –> 00:29:20,000
accepted in the Beloved and we
have Redemption through his

445
00:29:20,000 –> 00:29:24,700
blood says Ephesians.
So brothers and sisters, what

446
00:29:24,700 –> 00:29:26,400
the bread and the wine
symbolizes for us.

447
00:29:26,400 –> 00:29:32,100
This morning goes far beyond,
just what we see on the table,

448
00:29:32,800 –> 00:29:36,000
we may rest in the great truth.
That is in there.

449
00:29:36,000 –> 00:29:39,200
God worketh in.
You both to Will and to do his

450
00:29:39,200 –> 00:29:42,300
good pleasure, that’s what God
desires.

451
00:29:42,500 –> 00:29:45,300
That’s what God makes wakes
makes them happy and well,

452
00:29:45,300 –> 00:29:51,000
pleased, he can work and us to
perform his will and do his good

453
00:29:51,000 –> 00:29:55,100
pleasure. and we know this is
the psalmist that Yahweh take

454
00:29:55,100 –> 00:30:01,200
his pleasure and those that fear
Him, So what is God’s good

455
00:30:01,200 –> 00:30:04,600
pleasure, brothers and sisters.
The Lord Jesus Christ.

456
00:30:04,800 –> 00:30:10,400
Tells us that in Luke chapter
12, Fear not little flock for

457
00:30:10,400 –> 00:30:11,300
it.
Is your father’s.

458
00:30:11,700 –> 00:30:16,500
Good pleasure.
To give you the kingdom.

459
00:30:20,000 –> 00:30:23,300
something brothers and sisters
that we can’t in is that It’s

460
00:30:23,300 –> 00:30:25,600
God’s Gift fear, not little
flock.

461
00:30:27,100 –> 00:30:30,400
Remember this disciples and
based on the Mount of

462
00:30:30,400 –> 00:30:35,000
transfiguration, Come up, be not
afraid.

463
00:30:36,300 –> 00:30:37,900
It’s God’s good pleasure to give
you the kingdom.

464
00:30:40,100 –> 00:30:42,000
So, brothers and sisters with
joy and wonder.

465

things.
