204: Roger Lewis – Exhortation: David In Gethsemane

1
00:00:13,900 –> 00:00:15,600
Welcome to Good Burger selfie
and talks.

2
00:00:15,600 –> 00:00:19,300
I’m Levi and I’m Chris and I’m
Brian, thank you for joining us

3
00:00:19,300 –> 00:00:21,900
this week.
On this podcast, we select one

4
00:00:21,900 –> 00:00:26,400
taco week to help us get the
Bible in our daily news feed.

5
00:00:26,500 –> 00:00:29,300
We post a new episode of the
start of each week with a short

6
00:00:29,300 –> 00:00:31,400
intro before.
Hand to kind of set the stage

7
00:00:31,400 –> 00:00:33,600
for the talk.
You’re about to listen to and

8
00:00:33,600 –> 00:00:36,300
now let’s talk more about this
week’s talk.

9
00:00:49,900 –> 00:00:52,800
Hello everyone.
My name is Mike Livermore.

10
00:00:53,300 –> 00:00:56,800
I’m a disciple of Christ here in
the state of Michigan in the

11
00:00:56,800 –> 00:01:00,400
midwestern United States.
And so when the good Delphian

12
00:01:00,400 –> 00:01:04,800
talks crew asked me to provide a
few episodes for the podcast.

13
00:01:05,300 –> 00:01:07,700
I, of course, was drawn to some
different talks.

14
00:01:07,700 –> 00:01:11,400
I’ve heard from our Bible School
here in the Midwest, the Midwest

15
00:01:11,400 –> 00:01:15,000
Bible school.
So I’ve chosen for talks and the

16
00:01:15,000 –> 00:01:18,300
first one that we’re going to
look at now, is an exhortation.

17
00:01:18,300 –> 00:01:23,200
I heard way back in the Year,
2007, this is an exhortation.

18
00:01:23,200 –> 00:01:26,800
I’ve just really struck me.
So powerfully back then,

19
00:01:26,800 –> 00:01:28,700
hopefully it’s as powerful to
you now.

20
00:01:28,700 –> 00:01:30,800
As it was for me.
Teen years ago.

21
00:01:31,400 –> 00:01:34,800
It’s a talk by a Roger Lewis.
The title of exhortation is

22
00:01:35,200 –> 00:01:39,400
David and Gethsemane and really,
I think it’s the best tuck of

23
00:01:39,400 –> 00:01:45,500
ever heard based off of Luke, 22
verse 42, the premise of

24
00:01:45,500 –> 00:01:49,800
Christ’s words where he says,
nevertheless not my will, but

25
00:01:49,800 –> 00:01:54,000
thine be done.
And so in the exhortation, Roger

26
00:01:54,000 –> 00:01:58,600
sort of takes the story of David
as he’s fleeing Jerusalem and

27
00:01:58,600 –> 00:02:02,500
absalom’s rebellion.
And Can see more 15 and Compares

28
00:02:02,500 –> 00:02:06,500
it to grow in Christ with his
disciples goes to the Garden of

29
00:02:06,500 –> 00:02:11,900
Gethsemane and the parallels
from 2nd Samuel 15 to Luke. 22

30
00:02:12,300 –> 00:02:16,700
are the basis of the talk and
it’s such a powerful comparison

31
00:02:17,100 –> 00:02:19,600
character by character place by
place.

32
00:02:19,900 –> 00:02:24,200
You know, have your your pens or
pencils have your note-taking

33
00:02:24,500 –> 00:02:27,100
tools out and hit.
Roger goes through them really

34
00:02:27,100 –> 00:02:29,800
quick, but he nails like
comparing care.

35
00:02:29,900 –> 00:02:33,700
After the character, I think the
comparison that really struck me

36
00:02:33,700 –> 00:02:37,400
the most I’ll spoil.
This one was theirs in the text

37
00:02:37,400 –> 00:02:40,500
of second Samuel 15.
There’s a particular place that

38
00:02:40,500 –> 00:02:44,200
the verse is point out that they
would often go to to worship.

39
00:02:44,200 –> 00:02:48,300
There was just a known place on
the Mount of Olives and that was

40
00:02:48,300 –> 00:02:52,400
compared to where Judas knew the
place where Christ was going to

41
00:02:52,400 –> 00:02:57,200
be at the Garden of Gethsemane.
So very interesting comparisons

42
00:02:57,200 –> 00:03:00,700
back and forth and the
comparisons is Just academic

43
00:03:00,700 –> 00:03:03,800
weather brings us to this
lesson, how the spirit of Christ

44
00:03:03,800 –> 00:03:08,500
really was in David and in the
whole episode of the rebellion

45
00:03:08,500 –> 00:03:13,900
and Absalom David could sit back
and just truly trust in God.

46
00:03:13,900 –> 00:03:17,500
That the text of the story even
begins where David just Goes

47
00:03:17,500 –> 00:03:19,700
Forth.
He trusts God, he leaves the

48
00:03:19,700 –> 00:03:23,600
city, embracing that whatever
God’s will will be for him, his

49
00:03:23,600 –> 00:03:27,600
family, the people, he accepts
it, he will accept whatever God

50
00:03:27,600 –> 00:03:29,900
has in mind.
And that becomes the real.

51
00:03:29,900 –> 00:03:33,700
Real thesis and then the real
lesson of the exhortation how

52
00:03:33,700 –> 00:03:38,100
both of these men David and our
Lord trusted accepted God’s will

53
00:03:38,100 –> 00:03:41,500
in their life despite the
sufferings and challenges a

54
00:03:41,508 –> 00:03:45,000
couple more notes near the end
of the exhortation, Roger

55
00:03:45,300 –> 00:03:48,100
references, several of the hymns
that refer to the Garden of

56
00:03:48,100 –> 00:03:50,100
Gethsemane.
He hasn’t mentioned the him

57
00:03:50,100 –> 00:03:54,300
numbers, but he Dives deep into
him to 16, the third verse and

58
00:03:54,300 –> 00:03:58,100
breaks down how at the text of
christadelphians him to 16

59
00:03:58,400 –> 00:04:02,900
combines both the Are you have
David and the story of Jesus on

60
00:04:02,900 –> 00:04:04,900
the Mount of Olives?
And there are some helpful

61
00:04:04,900 –> 00:04:08,000
practical takeaways at the end
of the excitation as well, about

62
00:04:08,000 –> 00:04:12,100
how helping us to focus on the
glory of the Kingdom, looking to

63
00:04:12,100 –> 00:04:14,300
that.
For those that also must now on

64
00:04:14,300 –> 00:04:16,200
this life, share in the
sufferings of Christ.

65
00:04:16,200 –> 00:04:20,899
It’s a very inspirational, very
uplifting, interesting

66
00:04:20,899 –> 00:04:25,000
intelligent, exhortation, and
meant so much to me 15 years

67
00:04:25,000 –> 00:04:26,400
ago.
Hopefully it’s just as powerful

68
00:04:26,400 –> 00:04:29,100
for you now.
So here it is, David and

69
00:04:29,100 –> 00:04:30,000
Gethsemane.
T.

70
00:04:31,600 –> 00:04:33,500
Well, good morning.
Good afternoon.

71
00:04:34,800 –> 00:04:37,800
My dear brothers and sisters in
our Lord.

72
00:04:37,800 –> 00:04:42,300
Jesus Christ.
We Gather then as we are so

73
00:04:42,300 –> 00:04:47,100
privileged to do to remember
now, the close of our Bible

74
00:04:47,100 –> 00:04:51,200
School, the story of our Lord
Jesus Christ.

75
00:04:52,300 –> 00:04:55,700
The greatness of what was
accomplished in and through him.

76
00:04:56,700 –> 00:05:02,500
and particularly as we come now
to the emblems To seek that we

77
00:05:02,508 –> 00:05:06,500
might follow him.
In the way.

78
00:05:09,300 –> 00:05:13,200
And in the second of Samuel and
chapter 15, which by the way, is

79
00:05:13,200 –> 00:05:16,700
our daily reading for tomorrow,
is it not the daily reading for

80
00:05:16,800 –> 00:05:20,400
next Sunday?
But we’re having our Memorial

81
00:05:20,400 –> 00:05:26,100
meeting a day early in the Bible
School. but in the second of

82
00:05:26,100 –> 00:05:29,700
Samuel and chapter 15 as they
are brother, chairman mentioned,

83
00:05:31,000 –> 00:05:37,500
we have the story of David’s
experience as it were In

84
00:05:37,500 –> 00:05:40,800
Gethsemane.
We want to take a lesson out of

85
00:05:40,808 –> 00:05:44,700
the story of this chapter, as we
find the matching spirit and a

86
00:05:44,700 –> 00:05:49,100
Life of Christ.
Angela, listen for ourselves,

87
00:05:49,100 –> 00:05:53,100
that will help us to partake of
the emblems and to be

88
00:05:53,100 –> 00:05:58,500
spiritually, strengths, and
thereby So the second of Samuel

89
00:05:58,500 –> 00:06:03,100
chapter 15 tells us in the 13th
verse there came a messenger to

90
00:06:03,100 –> 00:06:06,700
David saying, the hearts of the
men of Israel are after Absalom.

91
00:06:07,200 –> 00:06:09,600
And David said, unto all his
servants that were with them at

92
00:06:09,600 –> 00:06:11,700
Jerusalem arise, and let us
flee.

93
00:06:11,700 –> 00:06:15,200
For we shal not else, escape
from Absalom, makes speed to the

94
00:06:15,200 –> 00:06:19,600
Past lissy, overtake us suddenly
and bring evil upon us and smite

95
00:06:19,600 –> 00:06:21,700
the city with the edge of the
sword.

96
00:06:22,100 –> 00:06:25,700
And when it says, in that verse
list, he overtake us suddenly

97
00:06:26,100 –> 00:06:29,100
literally in the Hebrew.
It is least he will drive the

98
00:06:29,100 –> 00:06:33,400
Calamity over us and David
understood, brothers and

99
00:06:33,400 –> 00:06:37,200
sisters.
That This Disaster that had come

100
00:06:37,200 –> 00:06:40,700
upon the city and upon the
people was not their fault.

101
00:06:40,700 –> 00:06:45,500
It was his This was part of the
consequence of David’s own sin

102
00:06:45,500 –> 00:06:48,500
was at not and David had that
lovely spirit that he sought

103
00:06:48,500 –> 00:06:52,100
simply to yield in the matter.
And particularly not to see the

104
00:06:52,100 –> 00:06:54,200
city of Jerusalem a
Battleground.

105
00:06:56,300 –> 00:07:03,000
Let’s just leave Since David?
And put the matter in the

106
00:07:03,008 –> 00:07:11,100
father’s hand. and as the story
unfolds, and we read it with

107
00:07:11,100 –> 00:07:15,700
those.
Careful eyes, always alert for

108
00:07:15,700 –> 00:07:20,900
good Bible reading.
We suddenly feel the spirit of

109
00:07:20,900 –> 00:07:25,500
Christ stealing across the page
brothers and sisters.

110
00:07:27,600 –> 00:07:29,500
And turning up in the life of
the king.

111
00:07:31,500 –> 00:07:35,700
You might like to hold your hand
in the second of Samuel and find

112
00:07:35,700 –> 00:07:40,200
Luke chapter 22 and your other
hand because for the purposes of

113
00:07:40,200 –> 00:07:43,100
our exhortation, we’re going to
trace just two or three of the

114
00:07:43,100 –> 00:07:46,900
points of connection.
Not many just a handful but

115
00:07:47,200 –> 00:07:50,100
enough for us to be.
So convinced that there is this

116
00:07:50,300 –> 00:07:53,600
remarkable similarity of
circumstance.

117
00:07:54,500 –> 00:07:58,200
In the life of the king that
turns up in the life of Our

118
00:07:58,200 –> 00:08:01,200
Lord.
And then out of it, all to

119
00:08:01,200 –> 00:08:05,000
extract an excitation that we
can draw for ourselves.

120
00:08:07,100 –> 00:08:10,700
You see what it says in the
second of Samuel chapter 15,

121
00:08:12,100 –> 00:08:15,400
once the king’s servants verse
15 had vouched their Readiness

122
00:08:15,400 –> 00:08:19,400
to follow him and to do whatever
he asked somewhat after the

123
00:08:19,400 –> 00:08:22,900
manner of Christ’s disciples.
We’re told this in verse 16.

124
00:08:22,900 –> 00:08:27,000
So any little phrase you see but
it says, the king went forth and

125
00:08:27,000 –> 00:08:30,400
all his household after him, the
king went forth, just a little

126
00:08:30,400 –> 00:08:36,100
phrase but you see that’s really
Luke, 22 verse 9, isn’t it when

127
00:08:36,100 –> 00:08:43,200
it says, And he came out.
And wind.

128
00:08:45,000 –> 00:08:47,300
And you see what we’re being
told in the life of David is

129
00:08:47,300 –> 00:08:51,600
that the die was cast.
David decided that he would he

130
00:08:51,600 –> 00:08:55,600
would withdraw and he would
commit himself unto God.

131
00:08:56,000 –> 00:08:58,300
And isn’t that exactly what’s
happening brothers and sisters,

132
00:08:58,300 –> 00:09:01,300
and Luke 22 verse 39, that
Christ has made the decision.

133
00:09:01,300 –> 00:09:03,600
The die is cast.
He’s going to withdraw for a

134
00:09:03,608 –> 00:09:05,800
moment into the garden and
commit, the whole matter into

135
00:09:05,800 –> 00:09:08,900
the hands of the father.
And so Luke says, he came out

136
00:09:08,900 –> 00:09:15,200
and went And Samuel says and the
King went forth and these two

137
00:09:15,200 –> 00:09:19,300
men shared that spiritually.
See of of of declaring that they

138
00:09:19,300 –> 00:09:23,700
would commit their souls in
their will into the hand of him

139
00:09:23,700 –> 00:09:26,800
who judges righteously, as they
are brother said in his opening

140
00:09:26,800 –> 00:09:30,900
prayer.
And there was a matching of

141
00:09:30,900 –> 00:09:36,900
spirits, you see?
and we’re told in the second of

142
00:09:36,900 –> 00:09:41,500
Samuel chapter, 15 and verse 23
that when they traveled on this

143
00:09:41,500 –> 00:09:46,200
occasion out of the city of
Jerusalem, The record sales and

144
00:09:46,200 –> 00:09:48,500
all the country worked with a
loud voice, and all the people

145
00:09:48,500 –> 00:09:52,300
passed over and the King also
himself passed over the brook

146
00:09:52,300 –> 00:09:55,500
kedron, and all the people
passed over toward the way of

147
00:09:55,500 –> 00:09:58,200
the Wilderness and you notice
brothers and sisters.

148
00:09:58,200 –> 00:10:02,100
How Samuel tells us that all the
people passed over and the king

149
00:10:02,100 –> 00:10:05,000
passed over but somehow they’re
separated the one from the

150
00:10:05,000 –> 00:10:06,300
other.
Did you notice that the king

151
00:10:06,300 –> 00:10:08,300
passes over and so do all the
people?

152
00:10:08,400 –> 00:10:12,600
But the king does himself. and
although, the people are with

153
00:10:12,600 –> 00:10:17,500
the King, The point is that they
didn’t really understand the

154
00:10:17,500 –> 00:10:21,900
king’s grief.
And they didn’t really

155
00:10:21,900 –> 00:10:26,600
understand the fullness.
Of the Kings spirit.

156
00:10:28,900 –> 00:10:31,500
And although brothers and
sisters on that day, both King

157
00:10:31,500 –> 00:10:34,900
and people passed over the brook
key John together.

158
00:10:37,700 –> 00:10:44,200
The King was really on his own.
In mind on his own.

159
00:10:46,200 –> 00:10:49,100
David, David traveled this
journey by himself.

160
00:10:49,200 –> 00:10:51,200
You see that?
Isn’t that funny?

161
00:10:51,200 –> 00:10:55,000
Because on the other side which
unfortunately is not Luke 22.

162
00:10:55,000 –> 00:10:58,400
It’s John 18 because only John
tells us this doesn’t he?

163
00:10:58,600 –> 00:11:04,400
John Alone says this in his 18th
chapter in verse 1.

164
00:11:06,100 –> 00:11:13,200
He says. and when Jesus had
spoken these words, He went

165
00:11:13,200 –> 00:11:16,600
forth while that’s the phrase
out of Samuel isn’t it?

166
00:11:16,700 –> 00:11:23,500
He went forth with his disciples
over the brook kedron where was

167
00:11:23,500 –> 00:11:27,400
a garden into the which he
entered end his disciples in

168
00:11:27,400 –> 00:11:30,500
John gives us the same idea as
the second of Samuel that the

169
00:11:30,500 –> 00:11:35,300
people passed over end the king.
And John 18 says in Jesus passed

170
00:11:35,300 –> 00:11:39,000
over the brook kedron and his
disciples and his disciples were

171
00:11:39,000 –> 00:11:41,500
with him were they not brothers
sisters and yet when they came

172
00:11:41,500 –> 00:11:44,600
into the garden, We know the
Lord would be alone just like

173
00:11:44,600 –> 00:11:48,100
David.
And even those closest and

174
00:11:48,100 –> 00:11:52,000
nearest to the Lord, did not
understand his Spirit could not

175
00:11:52,100 –> 00:11:55,200
enter into his grief.
The Lord walked into the garden

176
00:11:55,200 –> 00:11:57,600
and a very real Sense on his
own.

177
00:11:59,600 –> 00:12:04,900
Just like I think David had in
the second of Samuel 15. when

178
00:12:04,900 –> 00:12:08,500
the record says that all the
country whipped with a loud

179
00:12:08,500 –> 00:12:16,600
voice, and all the people passed
over, And the King also himself

180
00:12:17,700 –> 00:12:21,700
passed over the brook kedron.
And Shirley Brothers and

181
00:12:21,700 –> 00:12:23,800
Sisters.
The spirit would bid us

182
00:12:23,800 –> 00:12:28,100
understand that here in the 10
glow of the second of Samuel 15.

183
00:12:30,200 –> 00:12:34,700
We have our Lord’s journey into
the garden.

184
00:12:36,000 –> 00:12:38,200
Funny thing, you know, better
than sisters in terms of of what

185
00:12:38,200 –> 00:12:41,200
was happening at this time
because there was such a cluster

186
00:12:41,200 –> 00:12:44,100
of men.
That’s a cluster of people about

187
00:12:44,100 –> 00:12:46,900
David that represented all that
was good and all that was bad.

188
00:12:46,900 –> 00:12:50,000
In the nation, all those
different manifestations of

189
00:12:50,000 –> 00:12:53,100
human nature that swirled around
David at the time of his

190
00:12:53,100 –> 00:12:56,000
controversy and there wasn’t a
hit the fill and there was a

191
00:12:56,000 –> 00:12:59,100
whole shy and they wasn’t
Absalom and there was an Atty

192
00:12:59,200 –> 00:13:02,100
and there was a ziba and there
wasn’t zadok and there was a sue

193
00:13:02,100 –> 00:13:05,600
me, I and there wasn’t a shy all
these good and bad men.

194
00:13:05,800 –> 00:13:09,800
Crustaceans.
Of the flesh.

195
00:13:10,900 –> 00:13:15,600
Some loyal.
Some hostile they all swirled

196
00:13:15,600 –> 00:13:17,600
around David.
Did they not at his time of

197
00:13:17,600 –> 00:13:22,400
Crisis and it’s a strange thing,
you know, better than sisters,

198
00:13:23,200 –> 00:13:26,900
or maybe not so strange.
That when we come to the gospel

199
00:13:26,900 –> 00:13:29,900
record will find that just as
there wasn’t a heifer, fill for

200
00:13:29,900 –> 00:13:33,400
David.
That cruelly betrayed him.

201
00:13:35,400 –> 00:13:37,300
So they will be a Judas for the
Lord.

202
00:13:39,400 –> 00:13:42,900
And just as there was a loyal
hushai who stood by his friend,

203
00:13:42,900 –> 00:13:45,500
so they will be a Joseph of
Arimathea who will plead his

204
00:13:45,500 –> 00:13:49,100
cause in the council.
And that’s there was as there

205
00:13:49,100 –> 00:13:51,700
was an absolute anxious to
preserve his position.

206
00:13:51,800 –> 00:13:56,500
So they will be a Caiaphas
manipulating the Sanhedrin and

207
00:13:56,500 –> 00:13:59,900
just as there was an it I who
proclaims his undying loyalty to

208
00:13:59,900 –> 00:14:03,400
the king so they will be a John
who will intensely follow his

209
00:14:03,400 –> 00:14:05,800
Lord with us.
However, he goeth and they will

210
00:14:05,800 –> 00:14:08,500
be a ziba and has a dock and
assume your eye.

211
00:14:08,500 –> 00:14:11,800
And the Never say, I and they
will be a pilot and a Nicodemus,

212
00:14:11,900 –> 00:14:14,400
and a Herod and a Peter, and
they’ll all be their brothers

213
00:14:14,400 –> 00:14:17,900
and sisters and the life of the
Lord just like David in.

214
00:14:18,100 –> 00:14:22,600
Chapter and Samuel.
And David had to walk through

215
00:14:22,600 –> 00:14:24,600
the throng of all those
different things.

216
00:14:24,600 –> 00:14:29,300
All those different spirits And
try and be guided by that, which

217
00:14:29,300 –> 00:14:33,000
was pleasing to God.
In fact, you see what it says in

218
00:14:33,000 –> 00:14:41,000
the second of Samuel chapter 15
and verse 30. since David went

219
00:14:41,000 –> 00:14:48,400
up by the ascent of Mount
Olivet, so that’s what he was

220
00:14:48,400 –> 00:14:51,700
there.
He was at the ascent of Mount

221
00:14:51,700 –> 00:14:54,900
Olive it.
And by the way, I suppose

222
00:14:54,900 –> 00:14:58,100
really, that’s Luke chapter 22
again because Luke 22.

223
00:14:58,100 –> 00:15:03,400
Sears in verse 39, it does tell
us is he came out and he went to

224
00:15:03,400 –> 00:15:07,000
the Mount of Olives.
He’s in the very same spot, as

225
00:15:07,000 –> 00:15:11,200
David is our Lord Jesus Christ.
And in Luke chapter 22, he came

226
00:15:11,200 –> 00:15:16,300
out to the Mount of Olives says
Luke 22 verse 39 and second,

227
00:15:16,300 –> 00:15:20,500
Samuel 15 says and David went up
by the ascent of Mount Olivet.

228
00:15:20,600 –> 00:15:24,000
They’re on the same Journey.
These two are they not literally

229
00:15:24,000 –> 00:15:27,400
on the same Journey but on the
same journey and mind and heart

230
00:15:27,400 –> 00:15:30,200
and spirit as well.
In fact, you see what the record

231
00:15:30,200 –> 00:15:35,200
says in simulate, says that when
David makes this journey into

232
00:15:35,400 –> 00:15:41,000
The mount, all of these.
It says in verse 30 that he wept

233
00:15:41,200 –> 00:15:48,300
as he went up.
And that’s really Luke. 22 verse

234
00:15:48,300 –> 00:15:56,200
44, isn’t it?
And being in an Agony, he prayed

235
00:15:56,200 –> 00:16:00,800
more earnestly and his sweat
was, as it were great drops of

236
00:16:00,800 –> 00:16:04,600
blood falling to the ground.
He prayed more earnestly, says,

237
00:16:04,600 –> 00:16:08,000
the record and in their Agony
that was in the garden, brothers

238
00:16:08,000 –> 00:16:09,700
and sisters.
We have the counterpart to the

239
00:16:09,700 –> 00:16:12,900
Weeping David who goes up
weeping up the mountain as he

240
00:16:12,900 –> 00:16:14,400
went.
And by the way, do you think the

241
00:16:14,400 –> 00:16:16,000
law?
Cried in the garden.

242
00:16:16,100 –> 00:16:19,300
Do you think the Lord wept in
the garden as well as agonize

243
00:16:19,300 –> 00:16:21,600
and prayer?
I’m sure that he cried but my

244
00:16:21,600 –> 00:16:26,300
sisters and I think the reason
why we know that Is because

245
00:16:26,300 –> 00:16:31,900
Hebrews says, so, does it not?
Because Hebrews 5 verse 7, says,

246
00:16:32,100 –> 00:16:36,600
who in the days of his flesh
when he had offered up prayers

247
00:16:36,700 –> 00:16:44,700
and supplications with strong,
crying and tears unto him, that

248
00:16:44,700 –> 00:16:48,000
was able to save him out of
death.

249
00:16:48,500 –> 00:16:50,100
Oh yes.
I think the Lord cried in

250
00:16:50,100 –> 00:16:53,400
Gethsemane wept before his
guard.

251
00:16:54,400 –> 00:16:59,900
Is Tom of desperate need.
And the Weeping of David.

252
00:17:00,900 –> 00:17:03,800
In the second of Samuel chapter
15 and verse 30.

253
00:17:05,900 –> 00:17:08,700
Will find its counterpart, and
the Weeping of Our Lord.

254
00:17:10,500 –> 00:17:18,099
As he offered up prayers.
With tears. it sort of makes you

255
00:17:18,099 –> 00:17:20,599
feel rather small and humble,
doesn’t it bonuses when you

256
00:17:20,599 –> 00:17:26,200
think of the Lord weeping in the
garden, And David, the king

257
00:17:26,800 –> 00:17:32,200
weeping in the same way.
And you know just want to say is

258
00:17:32,200 –> 00:17:38,000
in the second of Samuel 15.
It says in verse 32 it came to

259
00:17:38,000 –> 00:17:42,700
pass when David was come to the
top of the mount where he

260
00:17:42,700 –> 00:17:48,900
worshipped God.
Now, could mean couldn’t it?

261
00:17:50,900 –> 00:17:54,400
That what it’s saying is that he
came to the top of the mountain

262
00:17:54,400 –> 00:17:58,400
end on this one occasion, he
decided to worship.

263
00:17:58,400 –> 00:18:04,800
God. but it could also mean and
perhaps more likely so that he

264
00:18:04,800 –> 00:18:09,200
came to the top of the mount
where Well, this was a special

265
00:18:09,200 –> 00:18:11,800
place for David that he
frequented for worship.

266
00:18:11,800 –> 00:18:15,100
It’s the place that David always
came the place that David often

267
00:18:15,100 –> 00:18:17,500
came.
This was David spot where he

268
00:18:17,500 –> 00:18:25,400
used to worship God.
And that’s John 18, verse 2,

269
00:18:25,400 –> 00:18:30,900
which says and Judas also, which
betrayed him new the place for

270
00:18:30,900 –> 00:18:38,300
Jesus.
Oft times resorted thither John

271
00:18:38,300 –> 00:18:44,400
18 verse 20, Jesus oft times
resorted thither is the

272
00:18:44,400 –> 00:18:47,500
testimony of that gospel.
And here’s the testimony of

273
00:18:47,500 –> 00:18:51,400
Luke’s own account and Luke
chapter, 22 and verses 39 and

274
00:18:51,400 –> 00:18:54,100
40.
It says, this David came to the

275
00:18:54,100 –> 00:18:56,900
top of the mount where he
worshipped God as if it was his

276
00:18:56,900 –> 00:19:00,600
special place.
And Luke. 22 verse 39 says, and

277
00:19:00,600 –> 00:19:07,100
he came out and went As he was
want.

278
00:19:09,100 –> 00:19:12,100
Says Luke.
As he was want.

279
00:19:13,300 –> 00:19:17,400
In other words, this was the
Lord’s special place for worship

280
00:19:17,400 –> 00:19:19,900
and prayer.
He came out as he was want and

281
00:19:19,900 –> 00:19:22,200
he went to the Mount of Olives
and the disciples followed him.

282
00:19:22,200 –> 00:19:26,200
And when he was at the place, he
said when he was at the place

283
00:19:26,400 –> 00:19:29,800
and the word that Luke uses for
the place that Jesus came to

284
00:19:29,800 –> 00:19:33,600
his, not the same as Matthew and
mark the word that Luke uses is

285
00:19:33,600 –> 00:19:37,900
used on some other occasions for
a holy place or a century.

286
00:19:38,700 –> 00:19:41,400
I think this was the Lord’s
place.

287
00:19:44,400 –> 00:19:48,500
Where he was God.
And prayed to the father.

288
00:19:51,300 –> 00:19:54,900
Just like David did on that same
Mountain isn’t that remarkable

289
00:19:54,900 –> 00:20:03,400
but ancestors.
And he the real question of the

290
00:20:03,400 –> 00:20:09,000
second of Samuel 15 is this.
How comes it about?

291
00:20:11,300 –> 00:20:15,500
That a man who lives centuries
before our Lord Jesus Christ.

292
00:20:18,300 –> 00:20:21,000
Can live without the spirit of
Christ before it’s happened.

293
00:20:23,400 –> 00:20:26,800
How comes it that David can go
on the same Journey as Christ.

294
00:20:28,200 –> 00:20:34,300
before the Lord himself has come
and the answer of course, is

295
00:20:34,500 –> 00:20:37,700
what we must come to the heart
of the story to understand why

296
00:20:37,700 –> 00:20:39,600
that is.
So, and the real heart of the

297
00:20:39,600 –> 00:20:42,600
story is, none of those things
that we’ve seen thus far.

298
00:20:44,500 –> 00:20:51,000
No, the real heart of the story
is how these two men reacted to

299
00:20:51,000 –> 00:20:56,800
this crisis in their lives.
And this is why the one who will

300
00:20:56,800 –> 00:20:59,800
become the basis of the other
and the Heart of the story

301
00:20:59,800 –> 00:21:02,500
brother and sisters is this.
Now, hold your hand and the

302
00:21:02,508 –> 00:21:06,500
second of Samuel 15 and make
sure that you do have Luke 22

303
00:21:06,500 –> 00:21:10,500
and your other hand, and let’s
come to the heart and soul of

304
00:21:10,500 –> 00:21:13,800
the story that we might see,
King David.

305
00:21:15,400 –> 00:21:21,500
And Messiah himself side by side
in the same place with the same

306
00:21:21,500 –> 00:21:23,800
Spirit.
Now you see what it says in the

307
00:21:23,800 –> 00:21:28,300
second of Samuel 15.
It says in verse 23, that David

308
00:21:28,300 –> 00:21:32,600
part passed over the brook King,
John, now, that’s the valley

309
00:21:32,600 –> 00:21:34,600
floor.
Isn’t it brother and sisters?

310
00:21:34,700 –> 00:21:37,100
It’s right at the bottom.
It’s right at the foot of the

311
00:21:37,100 –> 00:21:41,300
Mount, Olive it right on the
valley floor, where the Lord

312
00:21:41,300 –> 00:21:47,000
crosses over and Begins the
Journey of a sent into the So

313
00:21:47,000 –> 00:21:52,100
that’s verse 23.
But when we come to verse 32

314
00:21:52,100 –> 00:21:54,600
you’ll remember that, it says it
came to pass when David was come

315
00:21:54,600 –> 00:21:58,900
to the top of the mount.
So now David’s come to the

316
00:21:58,900 –> 00:22:05,400
topmost place of Mount Olive.
now, somewhere between the

317
00:22:05,400 –> 00:22:14,400
valley floor verse 23, and the
summit of the mountain verse 32

318
00:22:14,700 –> 00:22:19,900
somewhere between these two
places and these two moments,

319
00:22:22,000 –> 00:22:25,900
There must have been the Garden
of Gethsemane, must be an art.

320
00:22:27,900 –> 00:22:30,400
Somewhere between the valley
floor verse 23.

321
00:22:32,500 –> 00:22:34,500
And the summit of the mountain,
verse 32.

322
00:22:37,200 –> 00:22:40,400
And so now, see where it is.
Both the sisters right between

323
00:22:40,400 –> 00:22:48,300
those two moments.
We’re told this in verse 25, And

324
00:22:48,300 –> 00:22:52,600
the King said unto zadok carry
about the Ark of God into the

325
00:22:52,600 –> 00:22:54,100
City.
And now look at these words.

326
00:22:54,100 –> 00:22:56,800
He is the heart of the whole
matter brothers and sisters.

327
00:22:57,200 –> 00:23:03,600
If I shall find favor in the
eyes of Yahweh, he will bring me

328
00:23:03,600 –> 00:23:07,400
again and show me both it and
His holy habitation.

329
00:23:07,700 –> 00:23:11,200
But if he does say, I have no
Delight in thee.

330
00:23:13,100 –> 00:23:16,400
Behold.
Here, am I?

331
00:23:18,700 –> 00:23:24,800
Let him do to me.
As seemeth good unto him.

332
00:23:25,900 –> 00:23:32,600
All brothers and sisters that’s
Luke 22 and verse 42.

333
00:23:32,600 –> 00:23:35,700
Is it not?
He was withdrawn from them about

334
00:23:35,700 –> 00:23:38,800
a stone’s cast and he kneeled
down and prayed, Luke 22, verse

335
00:23:38,800 –> 00:23:42,100
42.
And he prayed saying father, if

336
00:23:42,100 –> 00:23:46,300
thou be willing remove this cup
from me, nevertheless not my

337
00:23:46,300 –> 00:23:50,700
will, but thine be done.
Can you see the parallel

338
00:23:50,700 –> 00:23:55,500
brothers and sisters?
You see, David says, if I shall

339
00:23:55,500 –> 00:23:59,800
find favor.
And Jesus says, if thou be

340
00:23:59,800 –> 00:24:05,300
willing and David says, but on
the other hand, and Jesus says,

341
00:24:05,400 –> 00:24:11,800
nevertheless and David says, let
him do to me as seemeth, good to

342
00:24:11,800 –> 00:24:16,500
him.
And Jesus says, not my will, but

343
00:24:16,500 –> 00:24:21,500
thine be done.
And the whole Spirit of David’s,

344
00:24:21,500 –> 00:24:25,100
attitude becomes the
foreshadowing of those famous

345
00:24:25,100 –> 00:24:29,400
words of our Lord, Jesus Christ,
uttered in the garden.

346
00:24:29,500 –> 00:24:31,300
They’re out of the very heart of
David.

347
00:24:31,300 –> 00:24:34,300
Are they not?
But ancestors in the very a

348
00:24:34,308 –> 00:24:37,200
place where we’d expect the
Garden of Gethsemane to be in

349
00:24:37,200 –> 00:24:40,800
David’s story.
He utters The Words of Christ.

350
00:24:43,800 –> 00:24:49,400
Gob do unto me.
As seemeth good to him.

351
00:24:51,700 –> 00:24:53,900
It’s his will not mine, says
David.

352
00:24:55,700 –> 00:24:58,700
Let God decide.
Let God decide whatever might

353
00:24:58,700 –> 00:25:01,400
happen to me.
See, this is the Hat of this

354
00:25:01,400 –> 00:25:02,700
parallel.
Isn’t it?

355
00:25:02,700 –> 00:25:06,900
That David’s got the same
spiritus Christ in terms of his

356
00:25:06,900 –> 00:25:10,000
attitude to trial.
And again, over the page, if you

357
00:25:10,008 –> 00:25:15,000
come to the second of Samuel and
chapter 16, we’re told this as a

358
00:25:15,000 –> 00:25:18,600
man began to curse.
David verse 11, says that David

359
00:25:18,600 –> 00:25:22,000
said to ever say, I unto all his
servants behold my son, which

360
00:25:22,000 –> 00:25:24,200
came forth of my bowels seeketh
my life.

361
00:25:24,300 –> 00:25:26,600
How much more now?
May this benjamite, do it.

362
00:25:26,800 –> 00:25:29,900
Let him alone.
Let him curse.

363
00:25:31,500 –> 00:25:35,600
For Yahweh have been him.
It may be that Yahweh will look

364
00:25:35,600 –> 00:25:38,300
on mine Affliction and that
Yahweh will requite me.

365
00:25:38,300 –> 00:25:42,500
Good for his cursing.
This day, I’m in the father’s

366
00:25:42,500 –> 00:25:48,300
hands, says David thy will not
mine, be done.

367
00:25:49,000 –> 00:25:52,900
This is the spirit of messiah,
in the Old Testament.

368
00:25:54,400 –> 00:25:59,800
Is it not?
In David’s own Gethsemane

369
00:25:59,800 –> 00:26:05,800
experience.
We can see and feel and hear our

370
00:26:05,800 –> 00:26:12,500
Lord Jesus Christ.
Hey, brothers and sisters.

371
00:26:14,200 –> 00:26:16,900
There’s only three hymns in our
hymn book.

372
00:26:18,500 –> 00:26:20,300
That mention the word,
Gethsemane.

373
00:26:22,500 –> 00:26:27,400
And they’re all special.
So we’ve got them all this

374
00:26:27,400 –> 00:26:32,500
morning at our meeting.
We’ve sung won already when my

375
00:26:32,500 –> 00:26:36,600
love to God grows weak.
We go to the Garden of

376
00:26:36,600 –> 00:26:40,000
Gethsemane, that we might see
the spirit of our lord wrestling

377
00:26:40,000 –> 00:26:43,300
in the garden.
Well, here’s another one.

378
00:26:43,300 –> 00:26:51,800
Can you remember this one?
With gentle resignation stool.

379
00:26:53,100 –> 00:26:57,600
He yielded to his father’s will.
In sad.

380
00:26:57,700 –> 00:27:04,200
Gethsemane, behold me here.
Thine only son.

381
00:27:05,900 –> 00:27:10,300
And father.
Let thy will be done.

382
00:27:11,700 –> 00:27:15,800
Remember that doesn’t sisters.
Do you know in the gospel

383
00:27:15,800 –> 00:27:17,600
records?
The Lord never says that.

384
00:27:19,300 –> 00:27:21,600
Nowhere in the gospels.
Does the Lord ever say?

385
00:27:21,600 –> 00:27:28,400
Behold me here, thine only son.
That line of that verse of that

386
00:27:28,400 –> 00:27:32,000
him isn’t taken from the Lord’s
life at all, you know, where the

387
00:27:32,000 –> 00:27:35,600
phrase thine only son comes
from, that’s Genesis 22, take

388
00:27:35,600 –> 00:27:38,600
now, thy son, thine, only son,
Isaac whom thou lovest.

389
00:27:38,800 –> 00:27:40,800
But where does the phrase of the
him?

390
00:27:40,800 –> 00:27:46,500
Come from behold me here.
The answer is.

391
00:27:48,900 –> 00:27:50,900
Well, it’s the words of David.
Is it not?

392
00:27:52,600 –> 00:27:58,800
In 2nd Samuel 15 verse 26.
But if he does say, I have no

393
00:27:58,800 –> 00:28:04,800
Delight in thee.
Behold me here, says David.

394
00:28:06,200 –> 00:28:07,800
And that’s what the humans
taking up from.

395
00:28:08,000 –> 00:28:09,700
And they are him brothers and
sisters.

396
00:28:09,700 –> 00:28:12,600
You got to understand where our
hymns are drawn, from the spirit

397
00:28:12,600 –> 00:28:15,400
of them as it throws the, in the
sense of different Bible

398
00:28:15,400 –> 00:28:18,000
passages together.
And in that glorious him about

399
00:28:18,000 –> 00:28:20,400
said, gift.
Similarly, the writer of the him

400
00:28:20,400 –> 00:28:23,700
weaves together, the story of
David, and the story of Isaac,

401
00:28:23,700 –> 00:28:26,800
and the story of Christ and
brings them.

402
00:28:28,100 –> 00:28:30,900
In to get simony at once.
Oh, yes.

403
00:28:30,900 –> 00:28:35,100
Spells and sisters.
That’s where the heart of the

404
00:28:35,100 –> 00:28:39,200
story lions.
And any one of us in our lives,

405
00:28:39,200 –> 00:28:42,000
could be living out the
circumstances of Christ and be

406
00:28:42,000 –> 00:28:44,500
unaware, are, is unaware of it
as David was.

407
00:28:45,100 –> 00:28:48,400
And yet that’s the very purpose
of God is to teach us the same

408
00:28:48,400 –> 00:28:50,800
lessons.
And so now, brother and sisters,

409
00:28:50,800 –> 00:28:52,300
there’s a reason for what
happens.

410
00:28:52,500 –> 00:28:57,100
Have you got trials in life, do
you feel that you have trials in

411
00:28:57,100 –> 00:28:59,100
life?
Do you have anything in life

412
00:28:59,100 –> 00:29:03,700
that causes grief or anguish or
morning?

413
00:29:04,900 –> 00:29:08,200
Or fear.
Or bitterness.

414
00:29:09,500 –> 00:29:13,200
Or tears.
Or hardship.

415
00:29:14,900 –> 00:29:19,400
Or pain.
I think at times brothers and

416
00:29:19,400 –> 00:29:23,800
sisters that we all feel that
those things have come upon us

417
00:29:24,600 –> 00:29:26,200
and we asked ourselves the
questions.

418
00:29:26,200 –> 00:29:31,400
Why, why does God do this to us,
why these trials that come upon

419
00:29:31,400 –> 00:29:35,100
us in this present, mortal life?
Why do they come?

420
00:29:35,200 –> 00:29:42,800
And the answer is for one single
reason. the reason that David

421
00:29:42,800 –> 00:29:49,900
learned, and the reason that
Christ already understood, it’s

422
00:29:49,900 –> 00:29:56,100
so that we might be brought to
the experience of saying, thy

423
00:29:56,100 –> 00:30:01,500
will be done.
And it takes all our lives above

424
00:30:01,500 –> 00:30:06,100
and sisters to learn.
This one thing, it takes all our

425
00:30:06,100 –> 00:30:10,000
lives to surrender our own
wheels, which are so strong.

426
00:30:10,000 –> 00:30:14,100
And so determined to this one
thing in life that we truly

427
00:30:14,100 –> 00:30:16,700
believe that God’s will should
prevail.

428
00:30:18,500 –> 00:30:20,700
And now there’s reason and
purpose to what we go through in

429
00:30:20,700 –> 00:30:24,000
life and why it is that such
things come upon us.

430
00:30:24,400 –> 00:30:29,300
And so we come to the first of
Peter in chapter 4 and take up

431
00:30:29,300 –> 00:30:33,000
the lesson of the story of
Christ in the garden.

432
00:30:34,900 –> 00:30:40,700
Of David in the garden.
Of two men separated by time.

433
00:30:43,000 –> 00:30:50,000
But bound and spirit. and the
first of Peter chapter 4, In

434
00:30:50,000 –> 00:30:53,500
gathering up the lesson.
Says this.

435
00:30:55,100 –> 00:30:59,700
In verse 12.
I love think it not strange

436
00:30:59,700 –> 00:31:04,700
concerning the fiery trial,
which is to try you as though.

437
00:31:04,700 –> 00:31:06,900
Some strange thing happened unto
you.

438
00:31:08,400 –> 00:31:11,900
But rejoice inasmuch as he had
partakers of, Christ’s

439
00:31:11,900 –> 00:31:14,400
sufferings.
And I think that’s the lesson,

440
00:31:14,400 –> 00:31:15,800
isn’t it?
Brothers, and sisters that we’re

441
00:31:15,800 –> 00:31:19,300
not just suffering, child, we’re
suffering, we’re experiencing

442
00:31:19,300 –> 00:31:22,400
Christ’s suffering.
What did we go through?

443
00:31:22,400 –> 00:31:24,600
Brothers and sisters.
It’s so that we might live out.

444
00:31:24,600 –> 00:31:29,600
Christ’s, child, whatever
happens to us in life is Christ

445
00:31:29,600 –> 00:31:30,900
suffering.
In us.

446
00:31:31,000 –> 00:31:33,900
That we are gathering up that we
are participating in the

447
00:31:33,900 –> 00:31:37,200
sufferings of Christ.
And if we’re suffering as Christ

448
00:31:37,200 –> 00:31:40,300
did then, Superbly.
It’s for the purpose that we

449
00:31:40,300 –> 00:31:43,300
might learn the same lesson as
Christ.

450
00:31:45,700 –> 00:31:52,700
And what God does?
In his own good time, and his

451
00:31:52,700 –> 00:31:57,900
own good way.
And in his Sovereign wisdom.

452
00:31:59,900 –> 00:32:03,400
He brings us all.
At last.

453
00:32:05,100 –> 00:32:08,000
Into the Garden of Gethsemane in
our own lives.

454
00:32:10,300 –> 00:32:12,300
And they finally got some
sisters.

455
00:32:14,600 –> 00:32:23,900
We learn to whisper before him.
Thy will be done. but the lovely

456
00:32:23,900 –> 00:32:28,200
thing about Peter is that, Peter
goes on to say that not only are

457
00:32:28,200 –> 00:32:33,300
you partakers of, Christ’s
sufferings But when his glory

458
00:32:33,300 –> 00:32:36,400
shall be revealed, you may be
glad also with exceeding joy.

459
00:32:36,800 –> 00:32:38,600
And one of the things we’ve got
to, remember, when we come into

460
00:32:38,600 –> 00:32:42,100
the Garden of Gethsemane and our
own lives about ancestors is to,

461
00:32:42,100 –> 00:32:45,100
is to never think that.
That’s the end of the story that

462
00:32:45,100 –> 00:32:47,100
in the garden, as the end of the
story.

463
00:32:47,300 –> 00:32:49,000
Because David returned, did he
not?

464
00:32:49,000 –> 00:32:51,700
In fact, there’s reason to
believe that when David came

465
00:32:51,700 –> 00:32:55,700
back to the city, he came back
on the very root that he’d left.

466
00:32:56,300 –> 00:32:58,200
He came and he crossed over the
Over the River.

467
00:32:58,200 –> 00:33:01,000
Jordan and he came up the ascent
on the back side of the Mount of

468
00:33:01,000 –> 00:33:03,900
Olives and down the Mount of
Olives and passed the Garden of

469
00:33:03,900 –> 00:33:07,100
Gethsemane and Beyond the
rookie, John and up triumphantly

470
00:33:07,100 –> 00:33:09,600
into the City and everything
they had experienced.

471
00:33:09,600 –> 00:33:14,500
In the second of Samuel 15 was
gloriously reversed in David’s

472
00:33:14,500 –> 00:33:19,000
triumphant return and they would
be glory for the Lord, as well

473
00:33:19,000 –> 00:33:22,700
beyond Gethsemane, and part of
how we learn to submit to the

474
00:33:22,700 –> 00:33:25,600
will of God, the brothers and
sisters, is to see the glory

475
00:33:25,600 –> 00:33:29,000
that Lies Beyond and to know
that all that the garden is

476
00:33:29,000 –> 00:33:32,800
asking of us is that we
surrender to God’s will.

477
00:33:34,400 –> 00:33:38,500
For That Glory, yet to come.
That we might be part of that.

478
00:33:38,500 –> 00:33:45,100
Also verse 19 says, wherefore
lit, then let the in that suffer

479
00:33:45,300 –> 00:33:49,900
according to the will of God are
let them that suffer according

480
00:33:50,000 –> 00:33:52,800
to the will of God, thy will be
done.

481
00:33:52,800 –> 00:33:56,700
Let them do this, let them
commit, the keeping of this

482
00:33:56,700 –> 00:34:01,400
souls to him and we’ll doing as
unto a faithful creator.

483
00:34:03,300 –> 00:34:07,800
And so we should have brothers
and sisters. and to know that

484
00:34:07,800 –> 00:34:13,400
whatever might come upon us in
life, Is God’s special way.

485
00:34:15,800 –> 00:34:22,300
To lead us into the garden.
To bid us to feel David’s tears.

486
00:34:23,600 –> 00:34:28,500
And Christ’s prayers.
To submit to the same.

487
00:34:28,500 –> 00:34:32,800
Listen.
And to come forth and follow our

488
00:34:32,800 –> 00:34:37,400
Lord, until the glory shall be
revealed.

489
00:34:39,400 –> 00:34:43,000
So, how do we do it?
How do we submit to the will of

490
00:34:43,000 –> 00:34:45,100
God?
Well, there’s one brother once

491
00:34:45,100 –> 00:34:48,800
said it’s not hard.
Is it brother and sisters?

492
00:34:50,300 –> 00:34:54,100
Just difficult.
And what he meant by that was

493
00:34:54,100 –> 00:34:56,500
it’s not hard because we know
what it is that we must do.

494
00:34:56,500 –> 00:35:00,100
We must read the word of God.
We can’t we can’t obey the will

495
00:35:00,100 –> 00:35:02,200
of God if we do.
Not know the will of God.

496
00:35:02,200 –> 00:35:04,500
We’ve got to read God’s word
every day of Our Lives.

497
00:35:04,700 –> 00:35:07,000
We’ve got a pray to him every
day of our lives.

498
00:35:07,400 –> 00:35:11,200
And if we read the father’s will
and pray concerning that will

499
00:35:11,200 –> 00:35:14,500
chime thing in our life every
single day of Our Lives, then

500
00:35:14,500 –> 00:35:18,200
gradually mysteriously
inexorably.

501
00:35:18,600 –> 00:35:23,700
Inevitably God weaves the story
with the mind of Christ into our

502
00:35:23,700 –> 00:35:27,400
lives as well.
And we’re thankful.

503
00:35:29,000 –> 00:35:34,200
In the end, we’re thankful.
That God brought us into the

504
00:35:34,200 –> 00:35:38,300
garden.
To be with Christ.

505
00:35:39,600 –> 00:35:41,900
And we come into the Garden of
Gethsemane, brothers and sisters

506
00:35:42,400 –> 00:35:46,900
and we’re surprised to see.
We’re surprised to find that

507
00:35:46,900 –> 00:35:50,000
there is the spirit of David in
Christ.

508
00:35:52,000 –> 00:35:55,900
Who was it?
The spirit of Christ.

509
00:35:57,200 –> 00:36:01,500
In David.
In that same place.

510
00:36:04,300 –> 00:36:09,200
So as we partake of bread and
wine, the stay and vow a fresh

511
00:36:09,200 –> 00:36:13,100
to follow him.
Confess all of the weakness of

512
00:36:13,100 –> 00:36:18,600
our Humanity before almighty God
and pledge that we will go forth

513
00:36:18,600 –> 00:36:21,900
from the bible school to live
like men and women, that love

514
00:36:21,900 –> 00:36:25,400
the Lord and follow him as we do
all that this day.

515
00:36:25,500 –> 00:36:31,200
Let’s remember brothers and
sisters That beyond the garden.

516
00:36:33,700 –> 00:36:38,600
Lies the kingdom.
And as much as we are called

517
00:36:38,600 –> 00:36:44,400
upon to suffer with Christ,
let’s all rejoice in the glory

518
00:36:44,400 –> 00:36:55,900
to come. in the words of a hymn,
which says, so may we, as we

519
00:36:55,900 –> 00:37:01,800
meet with thee, be sealed more
Shirley thine.

520
00:37:04,000 –> 00:37:13,700
And see beyond Gethsemane.
VY kingdoms glory shine.
