6
00:00:29,300 –> 00:00:31,400

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
00:00:50,500 –> 00:00:53,100
Hello everyone.
My name is Mike Livermore.

10
00:00:53,300 –> 00:00:56,400
I’m a disciple of Christ from
the state of Michigan and I’m

11
00:00:56,400 –> 00:00:59,400
here to introduce another class
from the Midwest Bible school.

12
00:00:59,400 –> 00:01:01,400
This time.
Quest from 2018.

13
00:01:01,400 –> 00:01:04,000
The speaker was Simon O’Grady
from New Zealand.

14
00:01:04,400 –> 00:01:09,400
His class Series this year was
entitled Jesus of Nazareth and

15
00:01:09,400 –> 00:01:12,800
it was just fascinating look
into some of the various themes

16
00:01:12,800 –> 00:01:16,400
in Christ’s life or really I
should say it was an examination

17
00:01:16,400 –> 00:01:19,800
of the Life of Christ through
the lens of several different

18
00:01:19,800 –> 00:01:22,500
themes.
There was a class on the theme

19
00:01:22,500 –> 00:01:26,200
of the world and times and I was
all about the world in which

20
00:01:26,200 –> 00:01:29,700
Christ was born into what his
relationship with the world and

21
00:01:29,900 –> 00:01:33,600
The various ages and times that
were ending and beginning around

22
00:01:33,600 –> 00:01:37,000
Life of Christ.
There is a class on the themes

23
00:01:37,000 –> 00:01:40,200
of Christ’s birth that connect
all the way back to previous

24
00:01:40,200 –> 00:01:42,500
Bible, characters and other
parts of scripture.

25
00:01:42,500 –> 00:01:46,400
There was a class on the
concepts of Grace and Truth

26
00:01:46,400 –> 00:01:50,700
coming from Genesis all the way
to Christ being full of grace

27
00:01:50,700 –> 00:01:53,900
and truth and Beyond.
And our class that will discuss

28
00:01:53,900 –> 00:01:58,900
here was the final class class 6
of the series entitled that it

29
00:01:58,900 –> 00:02:02,200
might be fulfilled.
This was the conclusion of this

30
00:02:02,200 –> 00:02:06,000
series on Jesus of Nazareth and
overall from the whole series

31
00:02:06,000 –> 00:02:09,699
and especially from this class
it just left me with this

32
00:02:09,699 –> 00:02:15,000
profound off for the scriptures
that the account of Jesus and

33
00:02:15,000 –> 00:02:18,700
really the whole biblical record
it sets up the gospels were that

34
00:02:18,800 –> 00:02:23,900
they’re not just some isolated
stories of a sinless man but it

35
00:02:23,900 –> 00:02:28,700
was really it shows how like the
whole Bibles focus is to bring

36
00:02:28,700 –> 00:02:32,400
us to Christ.
That the entire Bible is about

37
00:02:32,400 –> 00:02:36,300
Jesus, not just the four
accounts in the gospels, and

38
00:02:36,300 –> 00:02:40,700
everything that is written is
connected and woven together in

39
00:02:40,700 –> 00:02:44,200
a powerful Arrangement that
brings us to Christ.

40
00:02:44,300 –> 00:02:48,400
And so it’s not just an isolated
story, but everything in the

41
00:02:48,400 –> 00:02:51,600
Life of Christ, as a
fulfillment, or it’s connected

42
00:02:51,800 –> 00:02:54,700
to God’s greater plan into so
many other scriptures.

43
00:02:55,000 –> 00:02:59,000
I always just left an oo-whee
with the Majesty of God’s mind

44
00:02:59,100 –> 00:03:01,500
and his plan.
And I was really moved by this

45
00:03:01,500 –> 00:03:04,200
series in this class.
So, anyways, this class is the

46
00:03:04,200 –> 00:03:08,600
finale and Simon takes us on the
road to Emmaus.

47
00:03:09,000 –> 00:03:13,200
The story from Luke 24.
And so, the key verses verse 44

48
00:03:13,200 –> 00:03:16,800
of that chapter, where Jesus
says these are the words I spoke

49
00:03:16,800 –> 00:03:20,000
to you while I was still with
you, that all things must be

50
00:03:20,000 –> 00:03:22,300
fulfilled, which were written in
the law of Moses and the

51
00:03:22,300 –> 00:03:24,900
prophets and the Psalms
concerning me.

52
00:03:25,500 –> 00:03:29,600
And so Simon takes us as
listeners on the road to Emmaus

53
00:03:29,600 –> 00:03:34,300
and The class up like a journey
that we are onto and we learn

54
00:03:34,300 –> 00:03:38,700
more and more about how Christ
fulfilled the scriptures with

55
00:03:38,700 –> 00:03:41,500
each mile that we progress and
you discuss.

56
00:03:41,500 –> 00:03:44,000
As you know, what does it mean
for Christ to have, fulfill the

57
00:03:44,000 –> 00:03:46,400
scripture?
How do the gospels present these

58
00:03:46,400 –> 00:03:49,600
fulfillments?
How active was Christ and

59
00:03:49,600 –> 00:03:53,500
pursuing fulfillment versus?
How much was handled by the

60
00:03:53,500 –> 00:03:56,900
father and the angels.
And there’s also a surprise at

61
00:03:56,900 –> 00:03:59,900
the end of the class where Simon
makes the class practice.

62
00:04:00,000 –> 00:04:03,300
Article and he sort of flips the
message of the class back on us

63
00:04:03,300 –> 00:04:05,200
as listeners.
I’m not going to spoil the

64
00:04:05,200 –> 00:04:10,700
surprise but it just really hits
home at the end how we too can

65
00:04:10,700 –> 00:04:14,500
participate in the Fulfillment
of the father’s purpose that he

66
00:04:14,500 –> 00:04:17,899
had with his son.
It was all so practical at the

67
00:04:17,899 –> 00:04:20,700
end.
And so, all inspiring at the

68
00:04:20,700 –> 00:04:23,500
beginning, in the middle, it’s
just there’s a great fantastic

69
00:04:23,500 –> 00:04:27,800
class, fantastic series to me,
it was the perfect way to end

70
00:04:27,800 –> 00:04:31,500
conclude a bible school.
I love It and hopefully you all

71
00:04:31,500 –> 00:04:34,200
will let you listen to it and
get as excited and be as

72
00:04:34,200 –> 00:04:36,400
inspired and moved as I was back
then.

73
00:04:36,400 –> 00:04:40,400
So here it is.
Simon O’Grady on a series Jesus

74
00:04:40,400 –> 00:04:42,600
of Nazareth with this class
being called that.

75
00:04:42,600 –> 00:04:45,400
It might be fulfilled.
Thank you brother and a very

76
00:04:45,400 –> 00:04:47,100
good morning brothers and
sisters.

77
00:04:48,800 –> 00:04:52,100
Well today we’re going to bring
our studies to conclusion by

78
00:04:52,100 –> 00:04:57,100
looking at Jesus of Nazareth as
the Fulfillment of all the law

79
00:04:57,500 –> 00:04:59,800
and the prophets.
And we’re going to see that this

80
00:05:00,000 –> 00:05:04,500
in this small and insignificant
Little Village as it were in

81
00:05:04,500 –> 00:05:09,000
this obscure, part of the Roman
Empire in a Manger would be

82
00:05:09,000 –> 00:05:14,200
born, the whole focal point of
all creation and one of our key

83
00:05:14,200 –> 00:05:17,600
goals this morning and our
objectives, this just capture

84
00:05:17,800 –> 00:05:23,800
Maybe Away the scenes of the
stupendous enormity of the

85
00:05:23,800 –> 00:05:26,900
seemingly little event.
You know the father Delights

86
00:05:26,900 –> 00:05:29,600
doesn’t need to take something
that’s small like a grain of

87
00:05:29,600 –> 00:05:32,100
mustard seed and then carefully
grow it.

88
00:05:32,100 –> 00:05:36,700
Until it fills the whole earth
and every one of us is a work in

89
00:05:36,700 –> 00:05:40,800
progress like that with a tiny
beginning where but with us or

90
00:05:40,800 –> 00:05:44,700
inspiring promise completion.
So we’re going to see this

91
00:05:44,700 –> 00:05:47,900
morning that the whole creation,
the whole existence of human

92
00:05:47,900 –> 00:05:49,900
beings.
From the beginning is centered

93
00:05:49,900 –> 00:05:55,100
on this one, Jesus of Nazareth,
the Lord Jesus Christ.

94
00:05:55,700 –> 00:06:00,100
And also on this seemingly
insignificant little word, the

95
00:06:00,100 –> 00:06:04,300
word fulfill.
So this morning, we’re going to

96
00:06:04,300 –> 00:06:09,800
take the format of a journey in
walk on the road to Emmaus.

97
00:06:10,300 –> 00:06:14,500
Now come with me to Luke chapter
24, the road to Emmaus story.

98
00:06:16,600 –> 00:06:20,300
Because in Luke chapter 24, it
is the day of the resurrection

99
00:06:21,000 –> 00:06:25,900
and two disciples are walking
along this road in a loop 24,

100
00:06:25,900 –> 00:06:28,300
verse 13.
We read that the whole two of

101
00:06:28,300 –> 00:06:31,600
them went that same day, that is
of the Resurrection to a village

102
00:06:31,600 –> 00:06:36,000
called Emmaus, which was from
Jerusalem about threescore

103
00:06:36,000 –> 00:06:39,500
furlongs.
So, that’s about seven miles, or

104
00:06:39,500 –> 00:06:41,100
for those who measure things
correctly.

105
00:06:41,100 –> 00:06:45,800
It’s about 11 kilometers for me.
That’s a very good day’s work.

106
00:06:46,800 –> 00:06:49,700
And verse 14, they talked
together of all these things

107
00:06:49,700 –> 00:06:51,900
which had happened.
That is the crucifixion and

108
00:06:51,900 –> 00:06:55,400
these growing rumors of his
resurrection at came to pass

109
00:06:55,400 –> 00:06:57,200
while they commute together and
reasoned.

110
00:06:57,500 –> 00:07:01,600
Jesus himself draws near in goes
with them.

111
00:07:01,800 –> 00:07:05,700
And you love the story, here are
two disciples who are now on the

112
00:07:05,700 –> 00:07:10,300
course of a journey and they are
going to move from confusion and

113
00:07:10,300 –> 00:07:14,800
a state of no understanding to
Clarity and a state of

114
00:07:14,800 –> 00:07:19,200
understanding and they Zendaya
us as we go from no

115
00:07:19,200 –> 00:07:22,800
understanding of the truth to
comprehension from.

116
00:07:22,800 –> 00:07:26,900
Not getting who, or what?
Jesus Christ is to knowing him

117
00:07:27,200 –> 00:07:31,100
and verse 16, Their Eyes Were
holdin that they should not know

118
00:07:31,100 –> 00:07:32,300
him.
Now, of course, this is

119
00:07:32,300 –> 00:07:36,200
physically, but also mentally,
they did not understand who, or

120
00:07:36,200 –> 00:07:40,100
what he was in verse 17.
He said to them, what men are of

121
00:07:40,100 –> 00:07:42,700
communications, that’s the word
in Greek logo.

122
00:07:42,700 –> 00:07:45,400
Ox, what manner of words are
these that you have one to

123
00:07:45,400 –> 00:07:49,400
another as he Ewok.
And US said and one of them

124
00:07:49,400 –> 00:07:52,300
whose name was clear pass which
means the glory of the father

125
00:07:52,300 –> 00:07:55,800
answering and said to him and
I’ll quote from the ears to be

126
00:07:56,000 –> 00:08:02,200
how you the only visitor the
only stranger and Jerusalem have

127
00:08:02,200 –> 00:08:06,200
you not known the things which
come to pass these days and

128
00:08:06,207 –> 00:08:09,300
verse 19.
He says what thing they said to

129
00:08:09,300 –> 00:08:14,100
him concerning Jesus of Nazareth
which was a prophet Mighty in

130
00:08:14,100 –> 00:08:16,400
deed and word before God and all
the people.

131
00:08:16,600 –> 00:08:20,200
Myra Gale, the Lord of these
things that have come to pass as

132
00:08:20,200 –> 00:08:23,800
they had experienced them.
Now, you just imagine them

133
00:08:23,900 –> 00:08:28,400
telling the actual Lord himself,
this a verse 22, 22 how the

134
00:08:28,400 –> 00:08:31,200
chief priests and our rulers
delivered him to be condemned to

135
00:08:31,200 –> 00:08:35,299
death and of crucified him.
But we trusted it had been he

136
00:08:35,299 –> 00:08:37,600
which should have redeemed,
Israel and beside all this.

137
00:08:37,600 –> 00:08:40,299
Today is the third day since
these things were done and then

138
00:08:40,299 –> 00:08:42,500
it appears that one of the
others breaks in.

139
00:08:42,500 –> 00:08:45,600
Yeah, and certain woman also,
our company made us astonish

140
00:08:45,600 –> 00:08:49,100
which we early at the Sepulcher
and when they found not his body

141
00:08:49,100 –> 00:08:52,600
they came and said they had seen
a vision of angels who said he

142
00:08:52,600 –> 00:08:54,900
was alive and certain of them
which were with us.

143
00:08:54,900 –> 00:08:56,600
Went to the simple confound
even.

144
00:08:56,600 –> 00:09:00,300
So as the women had said but
they didn’t see him and then

145
00:09:00,300 –> 00:09:07,000
this amazing thing happens, this
stranger turns to them and says

146
00:09:07,600 –> 00:09:11,600
o fools.
Now, that would take you back a

147
00:09:11,600 –> 00:09:21,100
bit, wouldn’t means not mind.
And no atis not thinking and

148
00:09:21,100 –> 00:09:27,000
slow of heart to believe all
that the prophets have spoken

149
00:09:27,500 –> 00:09:30,000
ought not Christ to have
suffered these things and to

150
00:09:30,000 –> 00:09:33,500
enter into his glory.
And then beginning at Moses and

151
00:09:33,500 –> 00:09:37,500
all the prophets, this stranger
expands to them.

152
00:09:37,500 –> 00:09:41,000
In all the scriptures, the
things concerning himself in

153
00:09:41,000 –> 00:09:43,900
verse 32 later on, they say
didn’t our hearts burn within us

154
00:09:43,900 –> 00:09:47,800
like a fire as we first began.
And her all the scriptures

155
00:09:47,800 –> 00:09:50,900
connected together from Moses,
right through the prophets.

156
00:09:50,900 –> 00:09:55,200
About Christ.
Jesus of Nazareth is the Christ

157
00:09:55,700 –> 00:09:58,900
later on, in verse 44, he
appears to the disciples and he

158
00:09:58,900 –> 00:10:02,300
sees these words that we
particularly want to note this

159
00:10:02,300 –> 00:10:09,700
morning on the screen.
These are the words he says to

160
00:10:09,700 –> 00:10:13,900
his disciples gathered which I
spoke to you while I was yet

161
00:10:13,900 –> 00:10:19,500
with you that all things must be
fulfilled which were written in

162
00:10:19,500 –> 00:10:23,200
the law of Moses and in the
prophets and in the Psalms

163
00:10:23,200 –> 00:10:27,500
concerning me, then opened he
their understanding that they

164
00:10:27,500 –> 00:10:31,600
might understand the scriptures
and we learn several key points

165
00:10:31,600 –> 00:10:34,400
here.
First, that all things must be

166
00:10:34,400 –> 00:10:38,800
fulfilled in the law.
The Prophets in the Psalms.

167
00:10:39,100 –> 00:10:43,200
And secondly, that the
comprehension of how he

168
00:10:43,200 –> 00:10:47,700
fulfills.
Those is key to understanding

169
00:10:47,700 –> 00:10:51,500
the scriptures now.
Have you ever wished that you

170
00:10:51,500 –> 00:10:55,700
were there that you could have
listened in on that conversation

171
00:10:55,900 –> 00:10:59,500
on the road to Emmaus?
We’re beginning at Moses in all

172
00:10:59,500 –> 00:11:03,800
the prophets, the Lord himself
expands to them in all the

173
00:11:03,800 –> 00:11:07,700
scriptures, the things
concerning himself and how he He

174
00:11:07,900 –> 00:11:11,900
fulfilled, all those things.
We just imagine if we could

175
00:11:11,900 –> 00:11:19,200
listen in to that conversation,
when you’re in a way we can, In

176
00:11:19,200 –> 00:11:23,400
a way, we can take this journey
and listen to that conversation

177
00:11:23,400 –> 00:11:27,600
because the two on the road are
representative of as.

178
00:11:28,300 –> 00:11:34,700
And the gospels are the content
of the conversation where they

179
00:11:34,700 –> 00:11:39,500
beginning at Moses, and all the
prophets, he is expounding to us

180
00:11:39,500 –> 00:11:43,200
in all the scriptures, the
things concerning himself.

181
00:11:43,600 –> 00:11:47,100
So this morning, we’re going to
take that Journey as it were.

182
00:11:47,300 –> 00:11:50,500
We’re going to replicate in.
Of course, a smaller Way by

183
00:11:50,500 –> 00:11:55,600
using the gospel records that
journey of Discovery to Emmaus

184
00:11:56,100 –> 00:12:01,100
to understand in the end that he
is the Fulfillment.

185
00:12:01,700 –> 00:12:05,300
Now, hope may be experienced in
some small way of touch, maybe

186
00:12:05,300 –> 00:12:08,200
of that Burning Heart that they
experienced.

187
00:12:08,800 –> 00:12:12,300
So let’s take our first step
this morning on this road, to

188
00:12:12,300 –> 00:12:14,900
Emmaus and larger.
We’re going to let Matthew take

189
00:12:14,900 –> 00:12:18,500
us through the first phase of
this discovery process that

190
00:12:18,700 –> 00:12:22,200
Jesus Christ is the Fulfillment
of Moses and the prophets.

191
00:12:22,200 –> 00:12:26,300
They come with me to Matthew
chapter 1 because the gospel

192
00:12:26,300 –> 00:12:28,600
record begins.
Of course, here and Matthew

193
00:12:28,600 –> 00:12:33,700
chapter 1.
With these words in verse 1, the

194
00:12:33,700 –> 00:12:39,900
book of the generation of Jesus
Christ, son of David, Son of

195
00:12:39,900 –> 00:12:44,700
Abraham and this term generation
is the word Genesis.

196
00:12:46,100 –> 00:12:49,400
It’s the term that’s key to
chapter 1.

197
00:12:50,200 –> 00:12:54,600
The word Genesis in all its
related variations is the key.

198
00:12:55,000 –> 00:12:59,300
We’re in this chapter through a
carefully crafted record of the

199
00:12:59,300 –> 00:13:05,300
generations from Abraham.
He explains the new genesis, the

200
00:13:05,300 –> 00:13:10,400
new unique generation of Jesus
Christ who’s brought forth of a

201
00:13:10,400 –> 00:13:17,400
woman but generated of spirit
and he says, In verse 22, that

202
00:13:17,400 –> 00:13:21,900
all of these things were done
that it might be fulfilled,

203
00:13:21,900 –> 00:13:26,600
which was spoken of the Lord by
the prophet saying.

204
00:13:26,600 –> 00:13:31,800
So here’s our first road, to
Emmaus moment.

205
00:13:31,800 –> 00:13:37,200
The prophets said, verse 23.
Behold a virgin shall be with

206
00:13:37,200 –> 00:13:40,400
child and shall bring forth a
son, and they shall call his

207
00:13:40,400 –> 00:13:43,900
name Emmanuel, which being
interpreted is God With Us.

208
00:13:43,900 –> 00:13:47,000
And right from the very
beginning, Beginning the gospels

209
00:13:47,000 –> 00:13:52,600
tell us that the prophets the
scriptures are being fulfilled,

210
00:13:52,700 –> 00:13:55,000
Turn the Page to Matthew 22
verse 15.

211
00:13:55,600 –> 00:13:59,800
Hey, Joseph takes Mary and Jesus
to Egypt and there was a and

212
00:13:59,800 –> 00:14:02,500
they were there to the death of
Herod and verse 15.

213
00:14:03,000 –> 00:14:08,700
That it might be fulfilled which
was spoken of the Lord by the

214
00:14:08,700 –> 00:14:13,700
prophet saying out of Egypt.
Have I called my son So of

215
00:14:13,700 –> 00:14:17,700
course, these things happened.
The scripture said they would

216
00:14:17,700 –> 00:14:21,700
verse 17.
Then was fulfilled, that which

217
00:14:21,700 –> 00:14:24,300
was spoken by.
Jeremiah the prophet saying in

218
00:14:24,300 –> 00:14:28,300
Rama was the reverse voice.
Heard lamentation, weeping and

219
00:14:28,300 –> 00:14:30,400
great mourning.
Rachel weeping for her children

220
00:14:30,400 –> 00:14:32,900
and would not be comforted,
because they are not.

221
00:14:32,900 –> 00:14:35,800
And then in verse 23, he came
and dwelt in a city called

222
00:14:35,800 –> 00:14:40,300
Nazareth that it might be
fulfilled, which was spoken by

223
00:14:40,300 –> 00:14:43,400
the prophets.
He shall be called a Nazarene.

224
00:14:43,400 –> 00:14:47,000
So we’ve taken our first few
steps as it were with that

225
00:14:47,000 –> 00:14:51,100
stranger on the road to Emmaus.
And now all the way through the

226
00:14:51,100 –> 00:14:54,600
gospel record is going to be
this repetition that it might be

227
00:14:54,600 –> 00:14:56,500
fulfilled.
That the scripture might be

228
00:14:56,500 –> 00:14:59,500
fulfilled, at the words of the
prophets might be fulfilled, and

229
00:14:59,500 –> 00:15:03,000
the whole life of Jesus Christ
is going to be presented in the

230
00:15:03,000 –> 00:15:08,500
gospels, as a fulfillment of the
scripture, a fulfillment of the

231
00:15:08,500 –> 00:15:15,500
prophets, a fulfillment of the
law, So you see the point, we do

232
00:15:15,500 –> 00:15:19,700
get to listen, in a way to the
conversation, on the way to

233
00:15:19,700 –> 00:15:22,600
Emmaus.
We do get to have our

234
00:15:22,600 –> 00:15:27,500
understanding opened and our
hearts burn within us because

235
00:15:27,500 –> 00:15:31,900
it’s all through the gospels.
And then into the Epistles, they

236
00:15:31,900 –> 00:15:34,700
are the substance of the
conversation.

237
00:15:35,700 –> 00:15:40,900
These two on the road to Emmaus
are representatives of the

238
00:15:40,900 –> 00:15:45,300
Disciples of Christ on there.
Only with the stranger until in

239
00:15:45,300 –> 00:15:47,400
a blinding, flash.
We comprehend.

240
00:15:47,500 –> 00:15:52,400
He’s not a stranger at all.
He knows us and we know him.

241
00:15:52,700 –> 00:15:56,100
He is.
Jesus the Christ died and raised

242
00:15:56,100 –> 00:15:58,300
again.
Yahweh is salvation.

243
00:15:59,000 –> 00:16:02,400
Now here’s the explicit list
from The Book of Matthew.

244
00:16:03,000 –> 00:16:06,000
Here’s a list where Matthews is
all, look, see what happened

245
00:16:06,000 –> 00:16:08,400
there.
That’s a fulfillment of the

246
00:16:08,400 –> 00:16:10,900
scripture.
I’ll just go through these

247
00:16:10,900 –> 00:16:14,700
quickly.
A virgin shall be with child

248
00:16:14,700 –> 00:16:19,000
Isaiah 7:14 out of Egypt.
I have called my son Jose 11

249
00:16:19,000 –> 00:16:21,600
verse 1.
Rachel weeping for her children.

250
00:16:21,600 –> 00:16:25,200
Jeremiah 31 verse 15 he shall be
called a Nazarene.

251
00:16:25,200 –> 00:16:29,900
Isaiah 11 verse 1 in Galilee of
the Gentiles Isaiah 9, verse 1

252
00:16:29,900 –> 00:16:34,900
to 2, he took our infirmities,
Isaiah 53, verse 4, behold my

253
00:16:34,900 –> 00:16:39,600
servant Isaiah 42, verse 12 for
open my mouth in Parables, Psalm

254
00:16:39,600 –> 00:16:42,500
78 verse 1 and 2 like King
cometh.

255
00:16:42,700 –> 00:16:47,000
On a sec around 9 verse 9, they
forsook him and fled Zechariah

256
00:16:47,000 –> 00:16:50,200
13 verse seven.
Thirty pieces of silver, Zakaria

257
00:16:50,200 –> 00:16:53,600
11, verse 12 to 13.
They parted his garments Psalm

258
00:16:53,600 –> 00:17:00,400
22 verse 18.
Now that’s just Matthew and

259
00:17:00,400 –> 00:17:05,400
that’s his direct statements.
And there are many, many more

260
00:17:05,500 –> 00:17:11,000
citations where the recorder of
the Gospel leaves it for us to

261
00:17:11,000 –> 00:17:13,099
make the connection like this
one.

262
00:17:13,099 –> 00:17:16,700
As an example, Matthew 8, verse
26.

263
00:17:16,700 –> 00:17:20,099
He says to them, why are ye
fearful O ye of little faith and

264
00:17:20,099 –> 00:17:23,099
he arose rebuked the winds and
the Seas.

265
00:17:23,099 –> 00:17:27,200
And there was a great calm which
is clearly though it doesn’t

266
00:17:27,200 –> 00:17:32,400
explicitly say ISO Psalm 107
verse 28 to 30, they cry to

267
00:17:32,400 –> 00:17:34,400
Yahweh in their trouble.
He brings them out of their

268
00:17:34,400 –> 00:17:36,800
distress as he makes the storm
of calm.

269
00:17:36,900 –> 00:17:40,000
So the waves are of us still and
they are glad because they be

270
00:17:40,000 –> 00:17:42,400
quiet, so he brings them to
their desired Haven.

271
00:17:42,600 –> 00:17:45,300
And we now go and Matthew
doesn’t even need to tell us now

272
00:17:45,300 –> 00:17:48,500
because we’ve got the concept
and the idea how that’s the

273
00:17:48,500 –> 00:17:53,500
scripture being fulfilled.
All right, well, it’s time to

274
00:17:53,500 –> 00:17:58,100
take a brief rest so long
journey and we started off at a

275
00:17:58,108 –> 00:18:01,100
fairly quick pay.
So let’s sit underneath the

276
00:18:01,100 –> 00:18:04,700
shade of the fig tree while you
do.

277
00:18:04,700 –> 00:18:09,000
Let’s take a look at the
definition of the word fulfill.

278
00:18:10,300 –> 00:18:12,200
Now in the Greek as well in the
Hebrew.

279
00:18:12,200 –> 00:18:17,000
We find these word families
based off an on an underlying

280
00:18:17,000 –> 00:18:21,000
verb from, which are derived a
host of other terms and the

281
00:18:21,008 –> 00:18:25,000
Greek term that we Here as
fulfilled as the blue one on

282
00:18:25,000 –> 00:18:28,400
screen, it’s Peru.
And it’s translated from the

283
00:18:28,400 –> 00:18:31,300
underlying verb Cliff though,
too full.

284
00:18:32,200 –> 00:18:35,300
So you see that the underlying
concept of the term, is not so

285
00:18:35,300 –> 00:18:40,000
much that our prediction is made
in that it comes to pass.

286
00:18:40,400 –> 00:18:45,000
But instead that something is
being made full, or replete,

287
00:18:45,900 –> 00:18:50,600
this term fulfill playroom
occurs 90 times in the New

288
00:18:50,600 –> 00:18:54,300
Testament.
So it’s a A key theme attic of

289
00:18:54,300 –> 00:18:57,900
the New Testament.
It’s part of this word family,

290
00:18:58,100 –> 00:19:01,500
plethora, 02, Phil pressey, lays
filled player.

291
00:19:01,500 –> 00:19:06,200
Mar the thing that is filled up
and our word today, Peru to make

292
00:19:06,200 –> 00:19:10,100
full or replete.
So the scriptural concept is

293
00:19:10,100 –> 00:19:12,900
that when we see a statement in
the law and the prophets of

294
00:19:12,900 –> 00:19:17,100
purpose and intent and future
events when we see the event or

295
00:19:17,100 –> 00:19:19,700
circumstance that’s related to
that.

296
00:19:20,100 –> 00:19:23,800
Then the prophets Words, which
are, of course, God’s words are

297
00:19:23,800 –> 00:19:26,600
being made.
Replete that being filled up.

298
00:19:28,200 –> 00:19:33,100
This terms used to denote The
Filling of the basket in the

299
00:19:33,100 –> 00:19:36,600
filling of a fishing.
Net in Matthew, 14, 30, and

300
00:19:36,600 –> 00:19:40,200
1348.
The picture of water and the

301
00:19:40,200 –> 00:19:43,400
glasses on the screen
illustrates the concept.

302
00:19:43,600 –> 00:19:47,000
Let’s just say that the glass is
the prophetic statement.

303
00:19:47,000 –> 00:19:49,900
And let’s say, we have a
prophetic statement, let’s use

304
00:19:49,900 –> 00:19:53,700
Genesis 3:15, I will put enmity
between thee and the woman

305
00:19:53,700 –> 00:19:57,300
between thy seed and her seed,
it shall bruise thy head and

306
00:19:57,300 –> 00:20:01,500
thou shalt bruise his heel.
Now is the sir prophecy.

307
00:20:02,300 –> 00:20:06,600
Well, yes, Is it the scriptures?
Yes or no.

308
00:20:07,600 –> 00:20:12,100
So when we move forward, a few
pages and we find Cain murdering

309
00:20:12,100 –> 00:20:16,800
able is he the Fulfillment of
the scriptures of the prophecy?

310
00:20:17,500 –> 00:20:22,300
Well, yes, so we put some water
in the glass, then we move on

311
00:20:22,300 –> 00:20:24,900
and we find a conflict between
Moses in fear.

312
00:20:24,900 –> 00:20:28,000
Oh, and we ask is this the seed
of the woman and the seed of the

313
00:20:28,000 –> 00:20:33,300
serpent end, well years, So we
put more water in the glass then

314
00:20:33,300 –> 00:20:36,400
further on David and Goliath
are, they are fulfillment.

315
00:20:36,700 –> 00:20:40,000
Yes.
More water, Mordecai and Haman.

316
00:20:40,100 –> 00:20:42,900
And so on all the way through
the scriptures, and we come to

317
00:20:42,900 –> 00:20:46,600
Jesus Christ in his defining
fight with the power of sin and

318
00:20:46,600 –> 00:20:50,700
death, then to us, and then
comes the end when the last

319
00:20:50,700 –> 00:20:54,300
enemy destroyed is death, and
God is all in all units.

320
00:20:54,300 –> 00:21:01,600
Full, The prophecy is complete.
It’s been fulfilled filled full.

321
00:21:03,600 –> 00:21:06,800
Alright, well, hopefully, we’re
well rested now it’s time to

322
00:21:06,800 –> 00:21:09,400
continue our journey on to
Emmaus, but don’t forget the

323
00:21:09,400 –> 00:21:11,700
glass of water.
He’s probably need to drink that

324
00:21:11,700 –> 00:21:17,500
on the way.
Now, you know how Jesus of

325
00:21:17,500 –> 00:21:23,400
Nazareth was renowned for his
inspiring, and as brilliant

326
00:21:23,400 –> 00:21:27,500
parables.
And that you stood, as it were

327
00:21:27,800 –> 00:21:32,500
enthralled with the listeners,
on those days, listening to

328
00:21:32,500 –> 00:21:36,400
those inspiring Parables will
come to Matthew 13, and we’ll

329
00:21:36,400 –> 00:21:45,800
take a look at something.
Now, these parable, Matthew 13

330
00:21:45,800 –> 00:21:51,000
and verse 34.
All these things, spake, Jesus

331
00:21:51,000 –> 00:21:57,000
to the multitude in Parables.
And without a parable spake, he

332
00:21:57,000 –> 00:22:04,800
not unto them o verse 35, that
might be fulfilled, which was

333
00:22:04,800 –> 00:22:08,400
spoken by.
The prophet saying, I will open

334
00:22:08,400 –> 00:22:12,200
my mouth in Parables.
I will utter things which have

335
00:22:12,200 –> 00:22:16,300
been kept secret, From the
foundation of the world.

336
00:22:16,300 –> 00:22:24,100
So all all The Parables were a
fulfillment of the prophets,

337
00:22:24,700 –> 00:22:27,400
those who have studied, The
Parables will have noted that

338
00:22:27,400 –> 00:22:33,200
they are firmly anchored, in the
Old Testament law in Psalms and

339
00:22:33,200 –> 00:22:39,700
prophets in the scriptures.
Well, not only that, you know,

340
00:22:39,700 –> 00:22:45,000
how Jesus of Nazareth was
renowned for all his miracles of

341
00:22:45,000 –> 00:22:47,600
heel.
And now we stood jaw hanging

342
00:22:47,600 –> 00:22:50,400
open astonished with the people
as they witnessed in the

343
00:22:50,400 –> 00:22:53,300
gospels.
These incredible signs and

344
00:22:53,300 –> 00:22:55,700
miracles in wonders.
Well guess what?

345
00:22:55,700 –> 00:22:58,300
Come to Matthew 8 verse 16 to
17.

346
00:23:03,500 –> 00:23:06,200
Matthew 8, verse 16, when the
even was come, they brought to

347
00:23:06,208 –> 00:23:08,200
him many that were possessed
with Devils.

348
00:23:08,200 –> 00:23:11,700
He cast out the spirits with his
word and healed all that were

349
00:23:11,700 –> 00:23:16,000
sick.
Of course, that it might be

350
00:23:16,000 –> 00:23:19,400
fulfilled.
Which was spoken by Isaiah.

351
00:23:19,400 –> 00:23:23,100
The prophet saying, himself took
our infirmities and bare our

352
00:23:23,100 –> 00:23:27,500
sicknesses.
So all of those Miracles were to

353
00:23:27,500 –> 00:23:31,900
fulfill Now this passage is
doubly important because you see

354
00:23:31,900 –> 00:23:36,900
here, you see the Lord himself
is taking the action.

355
00:23:37,000 –> 00:23:42,300
He is the act of knowing willing
participant in the Fulfillment

356
00:23:42,300 –> 00:23:46,800
of scripture, the father’s word.
And what I mean is he didn’t

357
00:23:46,800 –> 00:23:50,800
just stand there passively as
the father brought about the

358
00:23:50,800 –> 00:23:54,900
fulfilling of the scriptures
around him, he frequently made

359
00:23:54,900 –> 00:23:59,100
it happen actively because he
was the Fulfillment.

360
00:23:59,300 –> 00:24:03,600
Working with the father, we want
to label this point.

361
00:24:03,600 –> 00:24:07,300
So for the next mile or so,
we’re going to focus on this

362
00:24:07,400 –> 00:24:11,500
active participation that he had
with his father, in the

363
00:24:11,500 –> 00:24:14,700
Fulfillment of Moses, and the
prophets.

364
00:24:14,900 –> 00:24:16,200
Now there’s a lovely
illustration.

365
00:24:16,200 –> 00:24:19,500
Matthew chapter, 26.
So, come to Matthew chapter 26.

366
00:24:20,100 –> 00:24:24,100
She causes the preface to the
crucifixion record where all the

367
00:24:24,100 –> 00:24:25,800
events of that.
Terrible day.

368
00:24:25,800 –> 00:24:30,500
I laid out by Matthew, but here
we see the One working with the

369
00:24:30,500 –> 00:24:35,700
father to fulfill the scripture
and as the law went through.

370
00:24:35,700 –> 00:24:39,800
Any indoors, all these different
events on that day, his mind is

371
00:24:39,800 –> 00:24:43,500
focused on the Fulfillment of
the prophets and scripture.

372
00:24:43,600 –> 00:24:47,600
So here in verse 51 in the
garden, Judas is just betrayed

373
00:24:47,600 –> 00:24:52,300
him and it records and Matthew
2651 that behold.

374
00:24:52,300 –> 00:24:55,500
One of them, which were with
Jesus stretched out his hand.

375
00:24:55,500 –> 00:24:58,400
Drew his sword, struck a servant
of the high priest and smote off

376
00:24:58,400 –> 00:25:02,000
his ear.
Then Jesus said to him, put up

377
00:25:02,000 –> 00:25:05,800
again by sword into his place
for all.

378
00:25:05,800 –> 00:25:11,300
They, that take the sword Shall
Perish with the sword thinkest

379
00:25:11,300 –> 00:25:14,600
thou that I cannot.
Now pray to my father and he

380
00:25:14,600 –> 00:25:18,200
shall presently give me more
than Twelve Legions of angels,

381
00:25:18,200 –> 00:25:23,200
but here it is.
How then shall the scriptures be

382
00:25:23,200 –> 00:25:25,400
fulfilled?
That’s it.

383
00:25:25,400 –> 00:25:28,200
Must be.
So I could do this in an instant

384
00:25:28,200 –> 00:25:33,700
Peter Allegiance about 6,000
men. 70,000 Angelic beings would

385
00:25:33,700 –> 00:25:38,000
have made short, work of that
strongly crab, but Peter, the

386
00:25:38,000 –> 00:25:43,800
scripture must be fulfilled.
Continuous verse 55 in that same

387
00:25:43,800 –> 00:25:45,700
hour, said, Jesus to the
multitudes.

388
00:25:45,700 –> 00:25:49,900
Are you come out as against a
thief with swords and staves for

389
00:25:49,900 –> 00:25:53,800
to take me?
I set daily with you teaching in

390
00:25:53,800 –> 00:25:56,800
the temple G laid.
No, hold on me.

391
00:25:57,900 –> 00:26:02,400
But all this was done.
That the scriptures of the

392
00:26:02,400 –> 00:26:09,100
prophets might be fulfilled.
Even this you see Jesus knew the

393
00:26:09,100 –> 00:26:13,200
scriptures and as you wait for
it in the text you see them all

394
00:26:13,200 –> 00:26:18,100
go all the disciples, forsook
him and fled Zechariah 13 verse

395
00:26:18,100 –> 00:26:20,900
7 awake.
O sword against my shepherd

396
00:26:21,000 –> 00:26:24,400
against the man, my fellow Seth
Yahweh of hosts, Smite the

397
00:26:24,400 –> 00:26:27,000
shepherd and the Sheep shall be
scattered.

398
00:26:27,000 –> 00:26:31,200
He knew it was coming because it
was in the scriptures and they

399
00:26:31,200 –> 00:26:36,100
must be fulfilled, you know,
John 19 even more.

400
00:26:36,400 –> 00:26:39,800
I’m gonna come with me to John,
19, to the crucifixion record,

401
00:26:40,500 –> 00:26:45,900
as it’s coming towards the end
of the Dreadful scene of the

402
00:26:45,908 –> 00:26:50,000
crucifixion.
John chapter 19, the here, you

403
00:26:50,000 –> 00:26:55,000
will see the son actively
working with the father to

404
00:26:55,000 –> 00:27:00,800
fulfill the scriptures.
So in John 19, the Lord is

405
00:27:00,800 –> 00:27:05,400
hanging on the cross.
The end is almost on him.

406
00:27:06,600 –> 00:27:10,700
But here again his Focus.
His emphasis is on the

407
00:27:10,700 –> 00:27:16,000
scriptures being fulfilled and
we read in verse 28 to 30 and he

408
00:27:16,000 –> 00:27:20,500
just notice the emphasis on the
terms used in the text on the

409
00:27:20,500 –> 00:27:26,100
fullness of the completion,
John, 19, verse 28, after this.

410
00:27:26,100 –> 00:27:30,500
Jesus knowing that all thing
what things?

411
00:27:31,200 –> 00:27:33,200
Well, all the things that were
written, there must be

412
00:27:33,200 –> 00:27:39,500
accomplished in the scripture.
Might be fulfilled, Sears, I

413
00:27:39,900 –> 00:27:44,200
thirst now.
What an incredible focus in mind

414
00:27:44,200 –> 00:27:49,900
brothers and sisters, the Lord
had the at the very end still in

415
00:27:49,900 –> 00:27:54,400
his mind was running the
thought, the scripture must be

416
00:27:54,400 –> 00:27:59,700
fulfilled and he’s running
through the words of Psalm 69 as

417
00:27:59,700 –> 00:28:04,400
he hangs there on the cross.
Verse, 20 reproach has broken my

418
00:28:04,400 –> 00:28:07,400
heart.
I am full of heaviness.

419
00:28:08,300 –> 00:28:13,200
I look for some to take pity
there was none for comforters

420
00:28:13,200 –> 00:28:17,700
but I found none.
They gave me goal for my meat in

421
00:28:17,700 –> 00:28:20,000
my thirst.
They gave me vinegar to drink

422
00:28:20,000 –> 00:28:25,300
and in that moment the Lord
thought but the scriptures must

423
00:28:25,300 –> 00:28:32,200
be fulfilled and it hasn’t And
he looked down and there just

424
00:28:32,200 –> 00:28:35,000
happened to be a vessel of
vinegar.

425
00:28:35,700 –> 00:28:41,400
And he says, I thirst, And
father had arranged for someone

426
00:28:41,400 –> 00:28:45,700
to have placed it there and the
two of them together fulfilled,

427
00:28:45,700 –> 00:28:51,000
the scripture with his active
participation in a verse 30,

428
00:28:51,100 –> 00:28:53,600
Jesus.
Therefore, when he had received

429
00:28:53,600 –> 00:28:56,800
the vinegar said, it is
finished.

430
00:28:57,600 –> 00:29:02,700
Tell Leo the verb to complete
any Bowser’s head, and gives up

431
00:29:02,700 –> 00:29:05,100
the spirit and to his dying
breath.

432
00:29:06,000 –> 00:29:08,900
It was the Lord’s focus and the
father’s Focus.

433
00:29:10,200 –> 00:29:13,800
It was for the prophets had been
fulfilled.

434
00:29:15,200 –> 00:29:21,300
Well, we’re halfway to Emmaus.
The Stranger has proven to be

435
00:29:21,300 –> 00:29:25,200
amazingly familiar with Jesus of
Nazareth.

436
00:29:25,600 –> 00:29:30,100
He’s explained to us why?
Jesus had done so many miracles

437
00:29:30,100 –> 00:29:35,000
and so many parables, it was.
So the scripture might be

438
00:29:35,000 –> 00:29:37,500
fulfilled.
He showed us that the

439
00:29:37,500 –> 00:29:41,500
circumstances of his birth in
the little details were all in

440
00:29:41,500 –> 00:29:45,800
Moses in the prophet and that he
was to die.

441
00:29:45,900 –> 00:29:51,400
And be crucified because the
scriptures heads. it’s so, And

442
00:29:51,400 –> 00:29:54,600
we’re beginning to see heart,
skip a beat.

443
00:29:55,100 –> 00:29:58,800
Could it be true?
What the women said had?

444
00:29:58,800 –> 00:30:03,900
He risen So the second half of
the journey unfolds, now, the

445
00:30:04,000 –> 00:30:09,500
stranger continues in, he says,
in takes us to Matthew Chapter 5

446
00:30:09,500 –> 00:30:11,500
or the forts of Matthew chapter
5.

447
00:30:13,100 –> 00:30:17,100
No Matthew Chapter 5 because of
the words of the Lord himself,

448
00:30:17,200 –> 00:30:20,900
it is the sermon on the mouth.
We have to go to The Sermon, on

449
00:30:20,900 –> 00:30:23,600
the Mount, to see what the Lord
does here.

450
00:30:23,600 –> 00:30:28,700
With the concept in the theme of
the Fulfillment, the filling up.

451
00:30:29,500 –> 00:30:32,300
So Matthew Chapter 5, we’re
coming to the teaching on the

452
00:30:32,300 –> 00:30:35,000
mount and the Lord makes us a
remarkable statement in verse

453
00:30:35,000 –> 00:30:40,200
17.
He says think not that I am come

454
00:30:40,200 –> 00:30:43,700
to destroy.
The law and the prophets.

455
00:30:44,600 –> 00:30:49,700
I am come not to destroy but to
fulfill.

456
00:30:49,700 –> 00:30:52,200
Well, that’s our term for
verily.

457
00:30:52,200 –> 00:30:55,800
I say to you till Heaven and
Earth pass one jot or one Tittle

458
00:30:55,800 –> 00:31:02,000
shall in no wise pass from the
law, till all be fulfilled.

459
00:31:03,500 –> 00:31:07,600
So we see the idea.
That was his objective.

460
00:31:08,200 –> 00:31:13,800
He came to fulfill the law and
the prophets.

461
00:31:15,100 –> 00:31:22,400
So now it’s Dawning on us.
Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the

462
00:31:22,400 –> 00:31:27,500
Fulfillment of the lawn
province. for a little while, we

463
00:31:27,500 –> 00:31:30,700
walk in silence, our hearts
burning thinking, how can we

464
00:31:30,700 –> 00:31:36,300
have mister Of course, he must
needs.

465
00:31:36,400 –> 00:31:40,600
Have fulfilled.
And then our stranger says

466
00:31:40,600 –> 00:31:45,400
something that at first stops us
in our tracks and incite a flash

467
00:31:45,400 –> 00:31:48,300
of light.
And he says this, you see how

468
00:31:48,300 –> 00:31:51,700
Jesus Christ of Nazareth, is the
Fulfillment of the law and

469
00:31:51,700 –> 00:31:56,200
Prophets everywhere.
Oh, yes, we do.

470
00:31:57,400 –> 00:32:02,100
Do you know why?
I’m not sure.

471
00:32:02,500 –> 00:32:05,300
Can you see how step by step?
He did everything.

472
00:32:05,300 –> 00:32:08,300
Not to destroy the law and
Prophets but to fulfill.

473
00:32:08,600 –> 00:32:11,900
Yes.
And then when he was baptized of

474
00:32:11,900 –> 00:32:16,300
John, he said that’s it becomes
us to fool fool, all

475
00:32:16,300 –> 00:32:19,200
righteousness, and the ellipses
of the law and Prophets.

476
00:32:19,800 –> 00:32:22,300
Yes.
And can you see how the father

477
00:32:22,300 –> 00:32:23,500
and the son will working
together?

478
00:32:23,500 –> 00:32:26,200
Every step of the way to
fulfill?

479
00:32:27,200 –> 00:32:30,800
Yes, and that he gave his life
to save his people.

480
00:32:32,000 –> 00:32:36,000
Yes, and even up to the very
last words, can you see the

481
00:32:36,000 –> 00:32:40,000
pattern?
Emerging, the driver, the why?

482
00:32:41,200 –> 00:32:46,700
Can you see the principle that
underpins all the Fulfillment of

483
00:32:46,700 –> 00:32:50,000
the law and Prophets?
And we leaned for what is the

484
00:32:50,000 –> 00:32:53,500
principal?
Do you want me to make it easy

485
00:32:53,500 –> 00:32:55,200
for you?
So it’s a stranger.

486
00:32:55,400 –> 00:32:58,900
What this is all about, why
Jesus Christ of Nazareth, our

487
00:32:58,900 –> 00:33:02,800
Prophet Mighty in word and deed
was doing this passively as it

488
00:33:02,800 –> 00:33:06,100
happened around and by his
father actively as it made it

489
00:33:06,100 –> 00:33:08,900
happen because they were one to
fulfill all the law and

490
00:33:08,900 –> 00:33:10,800
Prophets.
You really want to know why?

491
00:33:10,800 –> 00:33:13,400
He must needs have died and
risen again.

492
00:33:14,200 –> 00:33:18,700
Tell us.
I’ll tell you he says in one

493
00:33:18,700 –> 00:33:23,100
single word.
Love.

494
00:33:24,400 –> 00:33:29,000
And now we see why.
They’re coming to Matthew

495
00:33:29,000 –> 00:33:34,300
chapter 22 and you’ll see how
the Lord and the gospel record,

496
00:33:34,400 –> 00:33:41,000
focus on the principle of love
as the Fulfillment of the law

497
00:33:41,300 –> 00:33:44,900
and Prophets.
And that Jesus Christ is the

498
00:33:44,900 –> 00:33:49,400
embodiment of the Father.
The expressed love as the

499
00:33:49,400 –> 00:33:53,900
Fulfillment in essence of the
righteousness of the law and

500
00:33:53,900 –> 00:33:56,600
Prophets.
It was the love of the father.

501
00:33:57,200 –> 00:34:02,600
the some for us, Now, Matthew 22
verse 36 to 40.

502
00:34:03,100 –> 00:34:08,199
We have these well-known words.
and will commence at verse 34,

503
00:34:08,500 –> 00:34:11,400
where the Pharisees had heard
that he’d put Sadducees to

504
00:34:11,400 –> 00:34:14,500
silence, they decided to have a
go themselves and one of them in

505
00:34:14,500 –> 00:34:21,300
verse 35 of Matthew 22, Who was
a lawyer asked him a question

506
00:34:21,300 –> 00:34:25,600
saying, and tempting him saying
Master, which is the great

507
00:34:25,600 –> 00:34:28,800
commandment in the law.
Jesus said to him, Thou shalt

508
00:34:28,800 –> 00:34:32,900
love the Lord thy God with all
thy heart, with all thy soul.

509
00:34:32,900 –> 00:34:36,400
And with all thy mind, this is
the first and the great

510
00:34:36,400 –> 00:34:39,100
commandment.
And the second is like unto it.

511
00:34:39,100 –> 00:34:42,500
Thou shalt love thy Neighbour as
thyself on these two

512
00:34:42,500 –> 00:34:47,300
Commandments, hang all the law
and the prophets.

513
00:34:47,600 –> 00:34:50,699
Matthew 7 verse 12, Therefore
all things whatsoever.

514
00:34:50,699 –> 00:34:53,400
Ye would that men should do to
you.

515
00:34:53,600 –> 00:34:58,400
Do you even?
So to them for this is the law

516
00:34:58,400 –> 00:35:05,300
and the prophet.
You know, Paul that we know the

517
00:35:05,300 –> 00:35:09,200
Apostle Paul saw what we know as
the Apostle Paul had his own

518
00:35:09,200 –> 00:35:13,300
experience with a stranger on
another road to Damascus.

519
00:35:14,100 –> 00:35:18,100
Come over to Romans Chapter 13,
Verse 8 to 10, where you see the

520
00:35:18,100 –> 00:35:23,200
expression of the Apostle Paul,
that the essence, the

521
00:35:23,200 –> 00:35:27,500
Fulfillment of the law and
Prophets is the love of Christ

522
00:35:28,100 –> 00:35:36,700
Romans 13, verse 8 to 10.
Oh no man.

523
00:35:36,700 –> 00:35:42,500
Anything but to love one another
for he that loveth another hath

524
00:35:42,600 –> 00:35:48,100
his out to him, fulfilled, the
law for this Thou shalt not

525
00:35:48,100 –> 00:35:50,600
commit, adultery Thou shalt not
kill.

526
00:35:50,900 –> 00:35:53,800
Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt
not bear false.

527
00:35:53,800 –> 00:35:57,300
Witness Thou shalt not cover.
And if there be any other

528
00:35:57,300 –> 00:35:59,300
commandment, it is briefly
comprehended.

529
00:35:59,300 –> 00:36:05,000
In this saying, Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as thyself for love

530
00:36:05,100 –> 00:36:10,900
Yes, no ill to his neighbor.
Therefore, love is the

531
00:36:10,900 –> 00:36:15,900
fulfilling of the law.
Is one more about put it on

532
00:36:15,900 –> 00:36:19,500
screen for you.
Galatians 5, verse 13 to 14.

533
00:36:19,500 –> 00:36:22,700
Sang points is Paul Brethren.
You’ve been called to Freedom

534
00:36:22,900 –> 00:36:25,900
only use not freedom for an
occasion to the flesh but by

535
00:36:25,900 –> 00:36:29,300
love serve one.
Another for all the law is

536
00:36:29,300 –> 00:36:37,000
fulfilled in one word, even this
Thou shalt love thy Neighbour as

537
00:36:37,000 –> 00:36:39,700
thyself.
And now the whole Gospel of John

538
00:36:39,700 –> 00:36:42,800
and the Epistles of John are
fundamentally going to focus on

539
00:36:42,800 –> 00:36:46,300
an exposition.
Of the Fulfillment of the law

540
00:36:46,300 –> 00:36:50,500
and the prophets, the love of
the father, and the son, and the

541
00:36:50,500 –> 00:36:54,000
love that we have in them.
For one, another is the

542
00:36:54,000 –> 00:36:56,500
Fulfillment of the law and
Prophets.

543
00:36:57,100 –> 00:36:59,500
We don’t have time to look all
of these up, but I’m going to

544
00:36:59,508 –> 00:37:05,000
read them for you.
John 13 verse 34 to 35 a new

545
00:37:05,000 –> 00:37:06,500
commandment.
I give to you.

546
00:37:06,500 –> 00:37:08,900
He says that you love one
another.

547
00:37:09,000 –> 00:37:12,300
As I have loved you that ye also
love one another.

548
00:37:12,400 –> 00:37:16,200
By this shall all men.
Know that ye are my disciples if

549
00:37:16,200 –> 00:37:20,900
you have love one to another,
John 15.

550
00:37:20,900 –> 00:37:25,100
This is 12 to 14.
This is my commandment that you

551
00:37:25,100 –> 00:37:27,300
love one.
Another as I have loved, you

552
00:37:27,400 –> 00:37:30,200
greater love hath.
No man, that a man lay down, his

553
00:37:30,200 –> 00:37:33,400
life for his friends and you are
my friends.

554
00:37:33,400 –> 00:37:39,300
If you do whatever, I command
you that Commandment that you

555
00:37:39,300 –> 00:37:43,800
love one.
Another as I have loved you, 1

556
00:37:43,800 –> 00:37:49,600
John 3 verse 16 hereby, we know
in perceive the love because he

557
00:37:49,700 –> 00:37:53,000
laid down his life for us.
And we ought to lay down our

558
00:37:53,000 –> 00:37:58,600
life for the brethren.
Finally first John 4 verse 7 and

559
00:37:58,607 –> 00:38:03,000
9 behold, let us love one.
Another says, John for love is

560
00:38:03,000 –> 00:38:07,900
of God and every one that loveth
is born of God and knoweth God

561
00:38:07,900 –> 00:38:12,100
and he that loveth not knoweth
not God for God is love in.

562
00:38:12,100 –> 00:38:15,100
This was manifested that the
love of God was toward us

563
00:38:15,100 –> 00:38:18,000
because God sent his only
begotten son into the world that

564
00:38:18,000 –> 00:38:22,500
we might live through him and
sosus The Stranger On The Road

565
00:38:22,500 –> 00:38:26,100
to Emmaus.
Love is the Fulfillment.

566
00:38:26,500 –> 00:38:31,900
The completion, the fullness,
the end of the law and Prophets

567
00:38:32,200 –> 00:38:38,500
and not one jot or tittle will
fail to it is all fulfill.

568
00:38:41,900 –> 00:38:43,800
So how do we measure up brother
and sisters?

569
00:38:43,800 –> 00:38:47,900
I mean we can see the totality
of the concept can’t lie.

570
00:38:49,400 –> 00:38:53,900
And that it’s not an optional
thing that maybe there might be,

571
00:38:54,000 –> 00:38:57,500
or could be some love for our
brothers and sisters if there’s

572
00:38:57,500 –> 00:39:02,000
time or space for it.
The focal point, the filling up

573
00:39:02,600 –> 00:39:07,400
is about the love of the father
and the son expressed in us the

574
00:39:07,400 –> 00:39:10,400
children.
You know, there’s a beautiful

575
00:39:10,400 –> 00:39:13,900
passage, that’s a template or
test for us.

576
00:39:14,800 –> 00:39:18,300
So, let’s go to First
Corinthians chapter 3 and test

577
00:39:18,300 –> 00:39:22,100
ourselves against the standard
of the love of the father and

578
00:39:22,100 –> 00:39:27,900
the son Express to others.
As we read these verses in 1st

579
00:39:27,900 –> 00:39:33,700
Corinthians 13, verses 4 to 6.
Let’s think about the

580
00:39:33,700 –> 00:39:38,400
relationships that we have with
our children, with our husband

581
00:39:38,400 –> 00:39:41,400
or wife with our brothers and
sisters.

582
00:39:41,900 –> 00:39:47,000
Our friends in those with whom
we might not be so close to now.

583
00:39:47,000 –> 00:39:51,200
As we read from verse 4 to 7, I
think we’ll do let’s do two

584
00:39:51,200 –> 00:39:53,600
things.
Use it as a personal grounding

585
00:39:53,600 –> 00:39:56,100
test.
And secondly, think about that.

586
00:39:56,200 –> 00:40:01,000
This is the description of the
love of Christ, expressed as the

587
00:40:01,000 –> 00:40:05,700
Fulfillment of the Nonprofits.
How do we measure up verse for

588
00:40:05,700 –> 00:40:12,800
love suffers long and is kind.
Love does not envy.

589
00:40:14,600 –> 00:40:18,900
Love does not V itself.
Is not puffed up.

590
00:40:20,500 –> 00:40:23,600
Love does not behave itself
unseemly.

591
00:40:25,000 –> 00:40:29,800
Never seeks her own.
Love is not easily provoked.

592
00:40:31,100 –> 00:40:37,000
And think of No Evil.
Love rejoiceth not in iniquity,

593
00:40:37,900 –> 00:40:42,100
but rejoices in the truth and
then the passage beautifully

594
00:40:42,100 –> 00:40:44,700
picks up the phrase.
All things and interesting

595
00:40:44,700 –> 00:40:46,900
phrase.
Tim peasant means all complete

596
00:40:46,900 –> 00:40:49,900
the whole because over 1200
times in New Testament, it’s an

597
00:40:49,900 –> 00:40:52,900
extreme use theme in the New
Testament.

598
00:40:54,000 –> 00:40:57,700
Verse 7, love, beareth all
things.

599
00:40:58,600 –> 00:41:04,200
Believeth pistachio, trusts, all
things hope Earth L /.

600
00:41:04,200 –> 00:41:07,900
Stay has confidence in all
things.

601
00:41:08,700 –> 00:41:12,500
Endureth steadfast in all
things.

602
00:41:13,300 –> 00:41:17,200
Love, Never Fails.
Whether there be prophecies,

603
00:41:17,200 –> 00:41:19,900
they will fail tongues.
They will cease.

604
00:41:20,900 –> 00:41:24,700
Knowledge, it shall vanish away.
But not love.

605
00:41:26,400 –> 00:41:28,700
So, how do we measure up,
brother, and sisters to the

606
00:41:28,700 –> 00:41:32,000
Fulfillment of the law and
Prophets?

607
00:41:33,000 –> 00:41:36,300
How do I measure up?
How do you measure up?

608
00:41:37,400 –> 00:41:41,300
I’m here, he is perfectly set
out in the gospels, the

609
00:41:41,300 –> 00:41:43,400
Fulfillment of the law and
Prophets.

610
00:41:44,100 –> 00:41:47,000
No.
Greater love has any man than he

611
00:41:47,000 –> 00:41:49,100
laid down his life for his
friends.

612
00:41:50,700 –> 00:41:55,200
So it says that on the road to
Emmaus, he began at Moses and

613
00:41:55,200 –> 00:41:58,400
all the prophets.
He expounded to them in.

614
00:41:58,400 –> 00:42:02,700
All the scriptures, the things
concerning himself.

615
00:42:04,100 –> 00:42:06,200
Well, in my office is just
around the corner.

616
00:42:07,000 –> 00:42:09,900
We’re nearly there, the day is
drawing to a close and the

617
00:42:09,900 –> 00:42:13,600
stranger has one last thing to
say to us before we arrived.

618
00:42:13,800 –> 00:42:18,300
And he says, that’s not all.
There’s one last thing I want

619
00:42:18,300 –> 00:42:21,900
you to understand.
Do you think that Jesus Christ

620
00:42:21,900 –> 00:42:27,300
of Nazareth is now full enough?
That he is just the fullness of

621
00:42:27,300 –> 00:42:30,900
the law and Prophets and that
you think that’s great.

622
00:42:31,800 –> 00:42:35,300
There is something much greater
since the stranger.

623
00:42:35,400 –> 00:42:39,200
You know, this one that you
know, as Jesus of Nazareth who

624
00:42:39,200 –> 00:42:43,400
you listen to and you talk to
and you saw in the scriptures

625
00:42:43,400 –> 00:42:46,900
and you followed and you think
as a great prophet do you want

626
00:42:46,900 –> 00:42:50,700
to know who he really is?
Well, Who We Are?

627
00:42:51,800 –> 00:42:58,200
Hey says, the stranger is the
fullness of God himself.

628
00:42:58,200 –> 00:43:02,700
And then with a racing pulse
Burning Heart, we realized for

629
00:43:02,700 –> 00:43:10,700
the first time the awesome scale
in immensity of who he use the,

630
00:43:10,700 –> 00:43:13,400
you know, a similar thing
happened to the Apostle Paul as

631
00:43:13,400 –> 00:43:17,000
he was met on his way by a
stranger on the way to Damascus.

632
00:43:17,000 –> 00:43:22,300
You know in his testimony in
Acts 22:16 says that as I made

633
00:43:22,300 –> 00:43:25,500
my journey and I was come night
and a mess because about noon,

634
00:43:25,500 –> 00:43:28,600
suddenly this Sean from Heaven,
a great light round about me.

635
00:43:28,700 –> 00:43:31,700
And I fell to the ground and I
heard a voice saying to me, Saul

636
00:43:31,700 –> 00:43:35,300
Saul, why persecutest thou me
and I answered, who are you?

637
00:43:35,300 –> 00:43:42,400
Lord and he said, I am Jesus of
Nazareth, whom thou persecutors.

638
00:43:43,000 –> 00:43:47,600
And for Paul it was like the two
walking to Emmaus in a

639
00:43:47,600 –> 00:43:50,700
conversation.
It became clear like a blinding

640
00:43:50,700 –> 00:43:53,800
light.
He writes his own description of

641
00:43:53,800 –> 00:43:58,700
the enormity and the scale on
the immensity of Jesus Christ of

642
00:43:58,700 –> 00:44:02,600
Nazareth, of Nazareth, the
filling up or fulfillment.

643
00:44:02,600 –> 00:44:04,300
I’ll put her here on screen for
you.

644
00:44:05,000 –> 00:44:09,600
Just as we read this, listen to
the heart of poor burning.

645
00:44:09,900 –> 00:44:15,900
With that message Colossians 1
verse 15 to 19, who is the image

646
00:44:15,900 –> 00:44:20,100
of the invisible.
God, the firstborn of every

647
00:44:20,100 –> 00:44:24,600
creature for bye.
Him were all things created that

648
00:44:24,600 –> 00:44:26,900
are in Heaven and Earth, visible
and invisible.

649
00:44:27,000 –> 00:44:29,500
Thrones dominions,
principalities power.

650
00:44:29,700 –> 00:44:34,500
All these things were created
for a because of him in, he is

651
00:44:34,500 –> 00:44:38,400
before all the things by or a
bit on account of him, all the

652
00:44:38,400 –> 00:44:42,400
things consist, he is the head
of the body, the Ecclesia.

653
00:44:42,600 –> 00:44:46,400
He is the beginning, the
firstborn from the dead that in

654
00:44:46,400 –> 00:44:49,200
all things, he might have the
preeminence for it.

655
00:44:49,200 –> 00:44:53,600
Pleased, the father in his out.
To him that in him.

656
00:44:54,600 –> 00:45:01,100
Should all the fullness, dwell.
In Paul can scarcely contain his

657
00:45:01,100 –> 00:45:05,500
Burning Heart and trying to
describe the Fulfillment that in

658
00:45:05,500 –> 00:45:13,400
him should all fullness dwell.
So we’ve arrived in my has we

659
00:45:13,400 –> 00:45:15,700
saved the stranger, it’s getting
late.

660
00:45:16,900 –> 00:45:21,500
It’s dark out there.
Coming to our house and we

661
00:45:21,500 –> 00:45:25,700
invite them into our lives.
And he tarries the scripture

662
00:45:25,700 –> 00:45:29,300
uses, the Greek minnow means a
Bible dwell, and it’s used to

663
00:45:29,300 –> 00:45:32,700
denote the idea of the father
who dwells in me and I in him,

664
00:45:33,000 –> 00:45:37,100
and the words translated abide,
as he abides in us and we abide

665
00:45:37,100 –> 00:45:40,600
in him.
And so, having invited him into

666
00:45:40,600 –> 00:45:45,000
a Bible with us in verse 30.
It came to pass as he sat at

667
00:45:45,000 –> 00:45:48,800
meat with them, that he took
bread and blessed it and Brake.

668
00:45:49,000 –> 00:45:57,800
Gave and their eyes were opened.
And they knew And in the giving

669
00:45:57,800 –> 00:46:05,600
of his life, this is my body in
that Fellowship I died for you

670
00:46:05,600 –> 00:46:13,000
and no greater love has any men.
We know that this is Jesus

671
00:46:13,000 –> 00:46:20,000
Christ, the Messiah, the
Fulfillment of all any vanishes

672
00:46:20,000 –> 00:46:24,400
out of their sight and he’s no
longer a stranger and they say

673
00:46:24,400 –> 00:46:26,100
one to another did not have
heartburn.

674
00:46:26,300 –> 00:46:29,300
Nice while we talk with him.
But he talked with us by the way

675
00:46:29,500 –> 00:46:32,300
and why we opened to us the
scriptures.

676
00:46:33,300 –> 00:46:36,600
And now I’m afraid, brother and
sisters, grab your cloak, and

677
00:46:36,600 –> 00:46:38,400
your staff.
Because we’re going back.

678
00:46:38,400 –> 00:46:42,800
Now in the dark down that path
for 11 miles as fast as our

679
00:46:42,800 –> 00:46:47,100
legs, can go, our hearts burning
to tell others that Jesus

680
00:46:47,100 –> 00:46:51,600
Christ, is the fullness of
everything.

681
00:46:53,100 –> 00:46:56,100
So, let’s conclude this morning
with Paul’s.

682
00:46:56,400 –> 00:47:00,400
Effusive summary and Ephesians
chapter 3 where he beautifully

683
00:47:00,400 –> 00:47:03,400
pulls all these theme attics
together to give us just a

684
00:47:03,400 –> 00:47:08,800
glimpse of the Majesty, the
awesome stupendous power and

685
00:47:08,800 –> 00:47:14,600
position of Jesus of Nazareth,
the Lord and Christ.

686
00:47:15,000 –> 00:47:19,900
The focal point of the
Fulfillment Ephesians 3, verse

687
00:47:19,900 –> 00:47:24,600
14 to 19 on screen for this
course, is Paul.

688
00:47:24,900 –> 00:47:28,000
I bow my knees.
The father of our Lord, Jesus

689
00:47:28,000 –> 00:47:33,200
Christ of whom the whole family
in Heaven and Earth is named

690
00:47:34,000 –> 00:47:37,300
that he would Grant you.
According to the riches of his

691
00:47:37,300 –> 00:47:40,200
glory.
To be strengthened with might,

692
00:47:40,200 –> 00:47:43,900
by his spirit.
In the Inner Man, the Christ May

693
00:47:43,900 –> 00:47:48,900
dwell in your hearts by faith,
and that you being rooted and

694
00:47:48,900 –> 00:47:55,300
grounded in love, May be able to
comprehend with all the saints,

695
00:47:55,300 –> 00:47:59,700
the enormity, the breadth and
length and depth and height.

696
00:48:00,800 –> 00:48:05,700
And to know the love of Christ,
which passes passeth knowledge,

697
00:48:06,400 –> 00:48:10,600
that ye might be filled.
With all the fullness of God.
