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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

9
00:00:51,100 –> 00:00:53,700
This week’s class is by our
brother, Aaron, McKie from the

10
00:00:53,700 –> 00:00:57,700
Cambridge, Ecclesia in Ontario,
he’s giving an excitation that

11
00:00:57,700 –> 00:01:01,900
he gave on September 4th.
I don’t have the title.

12
00:01:01,900 –> 00:01:06,400
It wasn’t in the, in the
recording, I’m going to call it

13
00:01:06,400 –> 00:01:10,000
perfect and blameless.
That’s how he opens it.

14
00:01:10,000 –> 00:01:13,400
And that is the continued theme
through the excitation that

15
00:01:15,000 –> 00:01:19,100
brother Aaron, kind of details.
How, how do we become perfect

16
00:01:19,100 –> 00:01:20,600
and blameless that is
impossible.

17
00:01:20,600 –> 00:01:24,300
How did we act that way?
And the resolution is through

18
00:01:25,000 –> 00:01:28,300
through our Lord and Savior?
Jesus Christ, which is true, but

19
00:01:28,300 –> 00:01:32,500
being a part of his body, Body
and part of his life and his

20
00:01:32,500 –> 00:01:36,100
sacrifice, we can become perfect
and blameless.

21
00:01:36,700 –> 00:01:40,200
This was a decision that was
suggested to us and I can see

22
00:01:40,200 –> 00:01:43,000
why it’s a.
It is really great.

23
00:01:43,600 –> 00:01:48,500
Aaron has an amazing.
I think amazing just really

24
00:01:48,500 –> 00:01:51,500
great delivery style.
He was a really wonderful voice

25
00:01:51,500 –> 00:01:56,800
to listen to and this is a
classic excitation so happy to

26
00:01:56,800 –> 00:02:01,400
share it.
So here is Perfect and blameless

27
00:02:01,400 –> 00:02:06,600
by Aaron, McKie.
All right, well, good morning,

28
00:02:06,600 –> 00:02:09,400
my dear brothers and sisters in
the Lord, Jesus Christ.

29
00:02:09,400 –> 00:02:11,700
All those tuning in over our
Zoom call.

30
00:02:13,200 –> 00:02:16,200
I’ll admit that being that.
It was a long weekend.

31
00:02:16,200 –> 00:02:19,700
I expected, maybe a bit more of
an intimate crowd this morning,

32
00:02:20,700 –> 00:02:23,000
but I see that our guests have
come out in full force.

33
00:02:23,400 –> 00:02:26,700
So, very glad to see that.
Our numbers have been balanced,

34
00:02:26,700 –> 00:02:28,700
and very thankful to see all of
you here.

35
00:02:37,400 –> 00:02:42,100
You know, it’s no secret.
That within the course of Our

36
00:02:42,100 –> 00:02:46,100
Lives is we vest ourselves in
this book in front of us.

37
00:02:48,000 –> 00:02:52,200
That we recognize and see that
our God has called us to be many

38
00:02:52,200 –> 00:02:58,800
things in this life.
It’s called us to be righteous.

39
00:03:00,900 –> 00:03:04,200
holy set apart from this world,
not only in the way that we act,

40
00:03:04,200 –> 00:03:10,100
but the way that we think He’s
called us to be faithful.

41
00:03:11,800 –> 00:03:14,100
To trust and evidence of Things
Not Seen.

42
00:03:14,100 –> 00:03:15,900
And you see Bronte sisters and
what is perhaps one of the

43
00:03:15,900 –> 00:03:18,500
hardest things.
The charges of scripture to

44
00:03:18,500 –> 00:03:22,100
reconcile with the present state
that we exist in in our Flash,

45
00:03:26,500 –> 00:03:33,200
He’s called us to be perfect. t’
and blameless before our God,

46
00:03:38,400 –> 00:03:39,800
and I’ll be perfectly honest
with you.

47
00:03:41,300 –> 00:03:44,600
That’s a commandment of
scripture that has always

48
00:03:45,000 –> 00:03:47,100
fascinated me.
It’s fascinating because I think

49
00:03:47,100 –> 00:03:49,900
naturally, it felt to be this
degree of an unobtainable

50
00:03:49,900 –> 00:03:53,600
calling I have to do is ask her,
who should be the first to tell

51
00:03:53,600 –> 00:03:55,600
you that?
I can’t pack a dishwasher

52
00:03:55,700 –> 00:03:59,500
perfectly.
Let alone perfectly abide with

53
00:03:59,500 –> 00:04:01,400
the commitments I made to God in
my life.

54
00:04:05,900 –> 00:04:07,000
I don’t know about you, run
sisters.

55
00:04:07,000 –> 00:04:10,400
It’s often when I think to this
idea of perfection recorded in

56
00:04:10,400 –> 00:04:15,400
Scripture, I can’t help but
reflect back and all the things

57
00:04:15,400 –> 00:04:21,300
in my life I regretted doing.
Mistakes that were made.

58
00:04:21,300 –> 00:04:26,200
All the things said to people
that Only, I could take it back.

59
00:04:28,500 –> 00:04:32,200
But I can’t.
The periods where I should have

60
00:04:32,200 –> 00:04:34,700
turned to God in this trial.
And I didn’t times when faced

61
00:04:34,700 –> 00:04:37,200
with a choice of my life where I
should have had more faith that

62
00:04:37,200 –> 00:04:40,100
I should have been more trusting
and I wasn’t I look back and I’m

63
00:04:40,100 –> 00:04:46,500
forced to reconcile that all I
am faced with Is purely a record

64
00:04:46,500 –> 00:04:48,700
of my imperfections.
And again, I don’t think my

65
00:04:48,700 –> 00:04:50,300
story is unique in that button
sisters.

66
00:04:56,600 –> 00:05:01,700
Yet here, we see this command.
A text in the records of our

67
00:05:01,700 –> 00:05:03,200
Bibles.
From the words of warning,

68
00:05:03,200 –> 00:05:05,500
delivered of Moses in
Deuteronomy 18, you shall be

69
00:05:05,500 –> 00:05:07,400
blameless before the Lord your
God.

70
00:05:11,300 –> 00:05:14,900
The familiar words of Christ in
Matthew 5, you must be perfect.

71
00:05:16,400 –> 00:05:18,400
As your heavenly father is
perfect.

72
00:05:20,600 –> 00:05:22,600
It’s a theme that stretches the
entirety of scripture, doesn’t

73
00:05:22,600 –> 00:05:24,200
it?
And not only is this a prevalent

74
00:05:24,200 –> 00:05:25,500
theme within our Bibles were in
sister?

75
00:05:25,500 –> 00:05:27,500
So I’m going to put you.
This is a theme of incredible

76
00:05:27,500 –> 00:05:29,200
importance.
We’re told that the blameless

77
00:05:29,400 –> 00:05:31,000
and their Heritage remain
forever.

78
00:05:33,300 –> 00:05:35,400
Proverbs reads blessed are those
whose way is blameless?

79
00:05:35,400 –> 00:05:37,600
Who walk in the law of the Lord,
Abraham is told by the Lord, I

80
00:05:37,600 –> 00:05:40,200
am the almighty walk before me
be blameless.

81
00:05:41,900 –> 00:05:44,100
And then I will establish my
Covenant with you.

82
00:05:47,600 –> 00:05:50,700
The promises of God and the
covenants made to Abraham were

83
00:05:50,700 –> 00:05:53,700
contingent on him being a
blameless man before his God.

84
00:05:53,800 –> 00:05:55,600
So that’s quite the question
isn’t run sisters.

85
00:05:58,700 –> 00:06:01,800
How do we achieve this for my
God, what is he desire to see in

86
00:06:01,800 –> 00:06:03,500
this?
Is it true that the bar is set?

87
00:06:03,500 –> 00:06:06,500
So high before us, that this is
truly, this unobtainable

88
00:06:06,500 –> 00:06:13,500
calling.
Well, these particular

89
00:06:13,500 –> 00:06:16,700
questions.
This important directive we’re

90
00:06:16,700 –> 00:06:20,200
going to take a brief moment to
pause and consider this morning

91
00:06:20,200 –> 00:06:22,200
and for the sake of time, we’re
going to do so by focusing on,

92
00:06:22,200 –> 00:06:24,900
just two Avenues of thought.
You see the first of which is a

93
00:06:24,907 –> 00:06:30,100
question button sisters.
A simple natural question.

94
00:06:30,100 –> 00:06:32,800
That often arises I think is
we’d approach these verses in

95
00:06:32,800 –> 00:06:35,400
the word of God.
And that’s what does Perfection

96
00:06:35,600 –> 00:06:40,300
mean to God.
You know, in the way that we use

97
00:06:40,300 –> 00:06:42,800
this word run sisters were often
predisposed to attribute it to

98
00:06:42,800 –> 00:06:45,500
things with the absence of
flaws, don’t we?

99
00:06:47,400 –> 00:06:48,500
We think the beautiful works of
art.

100
00:06:48,500 –> 00:06:51,400
We look at Michelangelo’s the
David it’s perfectly, rounded

101
00:06:51,400 –> 00:06:55,300
marble, isn’t it?
We might describe Perfection to

102
00:06:55,308 –> 00:06:57,100
that.
But is that what God means when

103
00:06:57,100 –> 00:07:01,100
he attributes blamelessness and
Perfection to individuals in the

104
00:07:01,100 –> 00:07:02,400
word of God?
That’s going to be our first

105
00:07:02,400 –> 00:07:11,300
question. but for a final and
closing thought, We’re going to

106
00:07:11,300 –> 00:07:16,400
end the consideration of how we
Orient ourselves in this life.

107
00:07:18,600 –> 00:07:21,400
To obtain that Perfection said
before, in other words, how on a

108
00:07:21,407 –> 00:07:24,800
daily basis in the actions?
We take in the decisions were

109
00:07:24,800 –> 00:07:27,300
faced with and the person we
choose to be at the end of the

110
00:07:27,300 –> 00:07:30,500
day, how can we be counted as
blameless?

111
00:07:33,400 –> 00:07:43,100
In the eyes of our master.
And so, it is that will Jump

112
00:07:43,100 –> 00:07:46,100
Right In.
And we’ll begin with the

113
00:07:46,100 –> 00:07:48,600
reflection on what are two
entirely, different

114
00:07:48,600 –> 00:07:53,100
perspectives.
On what it means to be perfect.

115
00:07:53,100 –> 00:07:54,600
I think it’s relevant to start
with the consideration.

116
00:07:54,600 –> 00:07:56,400
I think that’s that.
If I were to take a general poll

117
00:07:56,400 –> 00:08:00,300
of our audience here today,
whether any of us have been

118
00:08:00,500 –> 00:08:05,700
blameless and our walk in the
truth, I’m fairly certain none

119
00:08:05,700 –> 00:08:08,500
of us would feel very inclined
to throw up a hand and say, yes,

120
00:08:08,500 –> 00:08:11,400
you know, that that adequately
characterizes, my walk in the

121
00:08:11,400 –> 00:08:14,200
truth, much less the events of
this past week.

122
00:08:17,100 –> 00:08:19,000
AC, that’s not necessarily a bad
mentality happens.

123
00:08:19,000 –> 00:08:21,500
This is, in fact, I think that’s
an encouraging mentality to

124
00:08:21,500 –> 00:08:23,900
develop means that we’re
self-reflective, but it is

125
00:08:23,900 –> 00:08:28,500
telling Because that’s in part
due to the fact that as Society,

126
00:08:28,500 –> 00:08:32,400
we often tend to define
perfection as the absence of

127
00:08:32,400 –> 00:08:37,200
failure or flaws.
Which naturally means that’s us.

128
00:08:37,200 –> 00:08:38,900
The moment.
Something has a flaw.

129
00:08:38,900 –> 00:08:41,600
It’s therefore not perfect.
So as we draw close to this

130
00:08:41,600 –> 00:08:45,000
subject, it’s very oftentimes
seen as that unobtainable colic.

131
00:08:47,100 –> 00:08:50,200
Our minds framing behind this
bar set, just Out Of Reach

132
00:08:50,200 –> 00:08:51,800
before us.
Maybe it’s even a negative

133
00:08:51,800 –> 00:08:56,400
thing.
This guilt inducing subject to

134
00:08:56,400 –> 00:09:00,100
consider is all we can do is
reflect back on our wrongs and

135
00:09:00,100 –> 00:09:05,800
the truth.
That’s one way we might be.

136
00:09:07,200 –> 00:09:10,000
Predisposed to use this word
Perfection I’m a put to you is

137
00:09:10,008 –> 00:09:13,500
another one button, sisters, a
simple and subtle aspect to this

138
00:09:13,500 –> 00:09:16,200
human perspective on Perfection.
That’s that in some ways

139
00:09:16,300 –> 00:09:21,000
Perfection is something.
We might achieve ourselves,

140
00:09:21,000 –> 00:09:24,400
isn’t it?
I’ll give you an example.

141
00:09:24,400 –> 00:09:27,100
If you’re a young person in
school, it’s answering all the

142
00:09:27,100 –> 00:09:31,300
questions right on a quiz is
that can just happen by accident

143
00:09:31,300 –> 00:09:32,700
happened, because you applied
yourself.

144
00:09:32,700 –> 00:09:35,100
You, you dedicate yourself to
the material there by the time.

145
00:09:35,200 –> 00:09:37,500
The test came, you, you asserted
the right amount of control in

146
00:09:37,508 –> 00:09:40,100
the situation that you achieve,
that hundred percent.

147
00:09:42,500 –> 00:09:44,700
If you’re at work, it’s
maintaining this perfect track

148
00:09:44,700 –> 00:09:46,600
record in the things that you
do, there’s this element of

149
00:09:46,600 –> 00:09:49,200
control to the human perspective
on Perfection.

150
00:09:49,200 –> 00:09:51,300
The idea that there’s something
you can do to make it right,

151
00:09:51,300 –> 00:09:58,900
that if you just apply yourself.
You can maintain perfection.

152
00:10:03,100 –> 00:10:05,900
But now let’s contrast this
Perfection of man.

153
00:10:07,500 –> 00:10:10,600
This lens were so predisposed to
look through in this life to

154
00:10:10,700 –> 00:10:13,800
what our Bibles say about
perfection to the Perfection of

155
00:10:13,800 –> 00:10:17,400
God.
It is perhaps best to start with

156
00:10:17,400 –> 00:10:20,100
the consideration of a mandarin
sisters who knew much about what

157
00:10:20,100 –> 00:10:22,900
it meant to be blameless in his
walk before God.

158
00:10:23,000 –> 00:10:26,800
We think to the life of David
I’m Hannah rights.

159
00:10:26,800 –> 00:10:29,000
Many words concerning
Perfection.

160
00:10:29,000 –> 00:10:31,200
He writes, I was blameless
before you go out and kept

161
00:10:31,200 –> 00:10:34,800
myself from the old.
With the blameless, man.

162
00:10:34,800 –> 00:10:36,900
You’ve shown yourself blameless.
This God has made my way

163
00:10:36,900 –> 00:10:39,100
blameless.
Blessed are those, whose way is

164
00:10:39,100 –> 00:10:44,800
blameless.
David is a man Keenly aware of

165
00:10:44,800 –> 00:10:47,300
all the many elements that were
discussing this morning about

166
00:10:47,300 –> 00:10:50,000
perfection plays into his walk
in the truth.

167
00:10:53,000 –> 00:10:55,700
AC4 to consider his life.
As we look at it, we can see how

168
00:10:55,700 –> 00:10:57,400
that could have very well been
the case.

169
00:10:59,500 –> 00:11:03,300
That he did walk very perfectly
and blamelessly before is gone.

170
00:11:08,200 –> 00:11:10,700
Yet, knowing what we do about
this individual?

171
00:11:13,900 –> 00:11:17,300
Well, we are forced to reconcile
that there were certainly points

172
00:11:17,300 –> 00:11:20,100
in his life where he fell far
below that Mark, didn’t he?

173
00:11:22,500 –> 00:11:24,300
Points.
He was far from the kind of

174
00:11:24,300 –> 00:11:26,600
person that ended that you are.
I would have considered a

175
00:11:26,600 –> 00:11:28,200
blameless Manning.
If you’re anything like me, burn

176
00:11:28,200 –> 00:11:30,100
sisters, you probably look to
the life of David and you

177
00:11:30,100 –> 00:11:31,500
surmise this.
Something along the lines of

178
00:11:31,500 –> 00:11:34,300
First Kings, chapter 15 verse 5.
And that reads that David

179
00:11:36,500 –> 00:11:38,900
Followed all the Commandments of
the Lord.

180
00:11:43,500 –> 00:11:45,700
Except the matter of Uriah, the
hittite.

181
00:11:50,100 –> 00:11:56,100
For though, he was a great man.
How could we emit such a great

182
00:11:56,600 –> 00:12:05,900
and blatant wrongdoing?
BC run, sisters.

183
00:12:07,800 –> 00:12:11,000
The fascinating thing is that is
not the only summary.

184
00:12:12,400 –> 00:12:14,900
To the life of David that
scripture is going to provide

185
00:12:14,900 –> 00:12:16,400
for us.
In fact, just one chapter prior

186
00:12:16,400 –> 00:12:19,500
to that first Kings chapter 14,
it reads you with not been like

187
00:12:19,500 –> 00:12:23,100
my servant David.
Who followed my Commandments,

188
00:12:23,100 –> 00:12:26,400
and follow me with all his heart
doing, only that, which was

189
00:12:26,400 –> 00:12:32,200
right in my eyes.
Only that, which is right in my

190
00:12:32,200 –> 00:12:34,100
eyes, our first Kings chapter 9,
and he said, David walk with her

191
00:12:34,100 –> 00:12:36,900
brain is doing according to all
that I commanded.

192
00:12:38,900 –> 00:12:40,700
Keeping my statues of rules.
And of course, the key word,

193
00:12:40,700 –> 00:12:42,800
their brothers sisters is all,
isn’t it?

194
00:12:42,800 –> 00:12:44,900
All the statues?
All the Commandments, all the

195
00:12:44,900 –> 00:12:47,300
precepts of scripture, David
kept in his life.

196
00:12:47,400 –> 00:12:54,600
In other words, you could very
well say Then our Bibles has

197
00:12:54,600 –> 00:12:59,400
presented David.
As being a blameless, man.

198
00:13:03,200 –> 00:13:04,400
So what does that mean?
Run sisters.

199
00:13:04,400 –> 00:13:07,400
What are we seeing here in?
What is on the surface?

200
00:13:07,400 –> 00:13:09,900
These two very juxtaposed
statements.

201
00:13:09,900 –> 00:13:11,400
The life of David.
Well, I’m going to put to you

202
00:13:11,400 –> 00:13:13,800
what we’ve seen wonderfully
accentuated.

203
00:13:15,700 –> 00:13:18,600
Is the difference between two
perspectives on Perfection, is

204
00:13:18,600 –> 00:13:20,700
the difference between the
Perfection of man.

205
00:13:23,000 –> 00:13:25,200
And the Perfection of God and we
see this in the very simple

206
00:13:25,200 –> 00:13:27,800
distinction that the account
here, that would bear record to

207
00:13:27,800 –> 00:13:31,400
Davidson.
The historical fact of his

208
00:13:31,400 –> 00:13:33,000
wrongdoing.
Well, that’s that of this story

209
00:13:33,000 –> 00:13:34,600
Martin sisters.
It’s the man, it’s the

210
00:13:34,600 –> 00:13:36,100
chroniclers, the author of
Kings.

211
00:13:36,100 –> 00:13:38,400
Well, the record here, that
would count David as blameless

212
00:13:38,400 –> 00:13:40,900
in his walk, that emits, the
transgressions of his life and

213
00:13:40,900 –> 00:13:43,400
account him as perfect.
Before his God.

214
00:13:50,700 –> 00:13:53,200
Well, that was spoken from the
mouth of God himself.

215
00:13:58,700 –> 00:14:02,500
And brother and sisters in that
is a powerful and revealing

216
00:14:02,500 –> 00:14:04,900
thing, because it answers a few
questions and it raises a few

217
00:14:04,900 –> 00:14:07,000
more, doesn’t it?
But the one that answers is that

218
00:14:07,000 –> 00:14:09,900
Perfection to God, is
achievable.

219
00:14:12,300 –> 00:14:14,500
He wants us to obtain it David
he says obtained it.

220
00:14:14,500 –> 00:14:17,200
Noah our scriptures call him
blameless and his generation.

221
00:14:17,200 –> 00:14:23,100
He updated job in 2001.
He says, he obtained it None of

222
00:14:23,100 –> 00:14:26,000
these individuals were Flawless
where they have very blatant

223
00:14:26,000 –> 00:14:28,100
sins.
Born on the record of scripture,

224
00:14:28,100 –> 00:14:29,800
don’t they?
And it’s in that understanding

225
00:14:29,800 –> 00:14:31,400
their lives.
Another Revelation, which is

226
00:14:31,400 –> 00:14:34,800
simply that the Perfection that
God is looking for in you.

227
00:14:37,500 –> 00:14:43,700
Is not the flawlessness of man.
It’s not defined by the record

228
00:14:43,700 –> 00:14:45,100
of things that happen in your
life.

229
00:14:45,100 –> 00:14:47,300
The the wrongs and the
transgressions done, which

230
00:14:47,300 –> 00:14:50,100
raises a relevant question, if
not a perfect adherence to his

231
00:14:50,100 –> 00:14:57,400
will, what does God look for?
To see perfection.

232
00:15:06,500 –> 00:15:07,700
Well, it puts you Frozen
sisters.

233
00:15:09,400 –> 00:15:13,700
There are truly many elements
and building an answer to that

234
00:15:13,700 –> 00:15:16,800
question, far more than we have
time to thoroughly go through

235
00:15:16,800 –> 00:15:21,800
this morning.
But we begin in answering it.

236
00:15:23,100 –> 00:15:25,100
And we start with the
consideration of what made a man

237
00:15:25,100 –> 00:15:28,300
like David.
So unique in his life what makes

238
00:15:28,300 –> 00:15:35,100
him worthy of being called
‘fameless. when we think back to

239
00:15:35,100 –> 00:15:38,500
the life of David, you know it’s
often life of a man who I

240
00:15:38,500 –> 00:15:43,500
personally put on a pedestal I
can’t help but think of how

241
00:15:43,500 –> 00:15:46,300
close he was to being blameless
in his walk in the truth.

242
00:15:46,300 –> 00:15:48,900
And really how can we not runs
this use as much of the Bible in

243
00:15:48,900 –> 00:15:51,200
front of us?
Is composed of the wonderful

244
00:15:51,200 –> 00:15:55,000
things he did?
Whether it’s a hundreds of

245
00:15:55,000 –> 00:15:57,800
beautifully inspired, Psalms he
would write his words.

246
00:15:57,800 –> 00:16:01,800
Some of the power to touch our
hearts to this day, Or the

247
00:16:01,800 –> 00:16:04,500
desire in which he desired to
establish this house, flippers

248
00:16:04,500 –> 00:16:06,400
God and Faith.
He displays and those words, the

249
00:16:06,400 –> 00:16:08,300
glasses.
He says, this day, all the Earth

250
00:16:08,300 –> 00:16:11,200
will know, there is a God in
Israel, but I put to run sisters

251
00:16:11,200 –> 00:16:13,600
that Perfection attributed in
his life.

252
00:16:16,000 –> 00:16:19,900
Had far less to do with these
actions and far more to do with

253
00:16:19,900 –> 00:16:22,500
the one thing.
God assess and David from a

254
00:16:22,500 –> 00:16:34,100
child and that’s his heart.
A heart that was completely

255
00:16:34,100 –> 00:16:37,700
reliant on the forgiveness and
deliverance of God because not

256
00:16:37,700 –> 00:16:40,900
the record of actions again that
God is looking for and David

257
00:16:41,000 –> 00:16:42,700
because that would have been
flawed, wouldn’t it?

258
00:16:44,900 –> 00:16:46,100
It wouldn’t have been blameless
rather.

259
00:16:46,100 –> 00:16:47,900
It’s the spirit of humility and
repentance.

260
00:16:47,900 –> 00:16:50,900
He has we’re upon making the
mistakes in his life he time.

261
00:16:50,900 –> 00:16:53,800
And again, throws himself
completely on the mercy of his

262
00:16:53,800 –> 00:16:57,400
gone.
But the understanding there was

263
00:16:57,500 –> 00:16:59,900
nothing he himself, could have
done no action, he could have

264
00:16:59,900 –> 00:17:02,400
taken no control over the
problems in his life.

265
00:17:02,400 –> 00:17:04,200
He could have asserted to
rectify.

266
00:17:04,200 –> 00:17:11,500
The situation, he got himself.
That’s what God need to see in

267
00:17:11,500 –> 00:17:14,200
David Byrne sisters.
If there is one aspect that we

268
00:17:14,200 –> 00:17:15,900
could reduce to the man in the
character.

269
00:17:15,900 –> 00:17:19,099
That is David that we would then
emulate to achieve this title of

270
00:17:19,099 –> 00:17:26,900
blameless.
In the eyes of God, we look no

271
00:17:26,900 –> 00:17:36,500
farther than that.
And you see, brothers sisters.

272
00:17:38,500 –> 00:17:41,200
Developing a heart of Reliance
on our God.

273
00:17:43,100 –> 00:17:45,400
That’s something that extends
far beyond the times that we’re

274
00:17:45,400 –> 00:17:48,400
just going to struggle and make
mistakes in this life.

275
00:17:50,800 –> 00:17:52,300
Because see this Reliance on
God.

276
00:17:52,300 –> 00:17:54,700
That we see present within
David, well, that’s really what

277
00:17:54,700 –> 00:17:58,700
God expects of us in every
action, Choice decision in

278
00:17:58,700 –> 00:18:00,500
crossroad that we’re going to
face in this life.

279
00:18:03,100 –> 00:18:04,600
I tell you, if we feel that
we’re going to struggle to do

280
00:18:04,600 –> 00:18:06,400
this in our lives, I know that I
certainly do.

281
00:18:06,400 –> 00:18:09,400
I think it’s, you know, not too
much of an assumption to say

282
00:18:09,400 –> 00:18:10,600
that we’ve all struggled with
this.

283
00:18:10,800 –> 00:18:13,700
Well, our God has a way of
bringing us to points in this

284
00:18:13,700 –> 00:18:17,200
life.
Well, there’s no other

285
00:18:17,200 –> 00:18:19,700
alternative than to fall and
complete.

286
00:18:19,700 –> 00:18:22,800
Reliance on his power deliver
and often these aren’t very

287
00:18:22,800 –> 00:18:24,200
comfortable situations are
there.

288
00:18:30,300 –> 00:18:35,800
Princess looking in the mirror.
At the end of a long day and all

289
00:18:35,800 –> 00:18:39,100
we can see are the weight of
many sins sins which just seemed

290
00:18:39,100 –> 00:18:41,100
to sap.
Our strength way is, all we can

291
00:18:41,100 –> 00:18:43,900
do is dwell on the
insurmountable things.

292
00:18:43,900 –> 00:18:51,300
We’ve done wrong.
Or perhaps we find ourselves out

293
00:18:51,300 –> 00:18:57,300
of our deaths. surrounded by the
insurmountable obstacles of this

294
00:18:57,300 –> 00:19:01,700
life, maybe we feel like Jacob A
man in scripture whose whole

295
00:19:01,700 –> 00:19:04,300
life is really reduced to One
Long struggle of what we’re

296
00:19:04,300 –> 00:19:06,700
talking about this morning, run
sisters of letting go of control

297
00:19:06,700 –> 00:19:09,300
of developing a heart of
Reliance on his God.

298
00:19:11,100 –> 00:19:13,100
Who’s putting this position,
where he’s facing up to the 400

299
00:19:13,100 –> 00:19:14,600
men of his brother Esau, and
what does he do?

300
00:19:14,600 –> 00:19:16,700
He immediately begins to
strategize doesn’t he?

301
00:19:18,700 –> 00:19:21,000
Tries coming up with a plan,
he’s separate this family can

302
00:19:21,000 –> 00:19:22,700
see, that’s what that’s what
Jacob always did.

303
00:19:22,700 –> 00:19:25,800
He’s trying to assert some
control over the situation, to

304
00:19:25,800 –> 00:19:28,700
fix it by his own hand.
But what does God do to him in

305
00:19:28,700 –> 00:19:37,900
that moment?
Well, he takes the last thing

306
00:19:37,900 –> 00:19:44,700
from him last thing, that gave
him any semblance of control,

307
00:19:44,700 –> 00:19:47,700
which is simply the strength of
his own hand to protect his

308
00:19:47,700 –> 00:19:49,100
family.
And God would require that, he

309
00:19:49,100 –> 00:19:52,800
goes before his brother and full
Reliance on the power of His

310
00:19:52,800 –> 00:19:58,000
God.
Full Reliance that only he could

311
00:19:58,000 –> 00:20:00,000
deliver that’s the lesson.
Jacob me to learn his life and

312
00:20:00,000 –> 00:20:01,900
run sisters.
That’s often the lesson.

313
00:20:03,100 –> 00:20:04,600
We need to learn in our own
lives.

314
00:20:10,000 –> 00:20:15,700
We consider job.
Another man called blameless and

315
00:20:15,700 –> 00:20:17,500
perfect.
Before is God, who, but being

316
00:20:17,500 –> 00:20:20,200
stripped of every comfort and
safety he had in his life, he’s

317
00:20:20,200 –> 00:20:21,800
pushing this point where he
stays for the choice and the

318
00:20:21,800 –> 00:20:24,300
choice is simple run sisters.
It was either to curse the name

319
00:20:24,300 –> 00:20:28,500
of his God.
He’s got to an all appearances.

320
00:20:28,600 –> 00:20:37,100
Seemingly abandon him.
Or to trust in his Deliverance.

321
00:20:40,300 –> 00:20:42,800
It’s in this revealing moment
when we can imagine that many,

322
00:20:42,800 –> 00:20:45,300
others would have failed that
this perfect heart of Jobe is

323
00:20:45,300 –> 00:20:47,800
revealed as he spoke, the Lord
gives, and the Lord takes away.

324
00:20:47,900 –> 00:20:50,400
Nevertheless, blessed, be the
name of the Lord.

325
00:20:53,600 –> 00:20:55,700
He showed his God, this harder
Reliance.

326
00:20:55,700 –> 00:20:58,100
And of course, the point of the
magnitude of these examples is

327
00:20:58,100 –> 00:21:01,500
this from the sisters that we
are going to be pushed to these

328
00:21:01,500 –> 00:21:03,600
same braking points in our
lives.

329
00:21:06,000 –> 00:21:09,600
Where we too will come to the
very same Crossroads that David,

330
00:21:09,700 –> 00:21:12,000
Jacob, and job.
And so many other faithful in

331
00:21:12,000 –> 00:21:14,500
the word of God stood before,
and we will be faced with a

332
00:21:14,500 –> 00:21:16,000
choice.
And that choice will either be

333
00:21:16,000 –> 00:21:21,700
to say, forget it.
Where you’ve taken me?

334
00:21:21,700 –> 00:21:23,700
God, is is too hard for me to
go.

335
00:21:26,800 –> 00:21:29,900
I’ll go my own way or it will be
down the path towards

336
00:21:29,900 –> 00:21:35,900
perfection.
Which begins and ends with one

337
00:21:35,900 –> 00:21:38,000
acknowledgement from sisters and
it’s a simple one.

338
00:21:41,400 –> 00:21:44,100
And that’s that we are
imperfect.

339
00:21:46,200 –> 00:21:49,000
And there is nothing we can do
without the Deliverance of our

340
00:21:49,000 –> 00:21:50,000
God.
And when we’re faced with that

341
00:21:50,000 –> 00:21:52,400
choice, when life puts us with
our backs, against the wall that

342
00:21:52,400 –> 00:22:00,100
understanding is either
internalized in our hearts, Or

343
00:22:00,100 –> 00:22:08,200
it’s not brother and sisters.
How many powerful examples of

344
00:22:08,200 –> 00:22:11,200
lives of men and women are in
this book in front of us?

345
00:22:11,300 –> 00:22:16,300
Who internalize this lesson?
we think to the woman in the

346
00:22:16,300 –> 00:22:19,900
Gospels, She throws herself
through a crown just to Touch

347
00:22:19,900 –> 00:22:21,900
the Hem of the robe of the man
in front of her, because she

348
00:22:21,900 –> 00:22:23,700
knew where her Deliverance was
coming from.

349
00:22:26,900 –> 00:22:30,800
We see it in the father.
They threw a constant series of

350
00:22:30,800 –> 00:22:32,600
delays.
Weights and faith is precious.

351
00:22:32,600 –> 00:22:35,100
Child is slowly slipping away
from because he knows, he’s

352
00:22:35,100 –> 00:22:38,200
waiting for this man who could
deliver, they are glimpses of

353
00:22:38,200 –> 00:22:44,700
people’s lives.
Who win their hearts could rely

354
00:22:44,700 –> 00:22:58,100
on God.
And so it’s as we reflect on

355
00:22:58,100 –> 00:23:01,100
This Heart of Reliance.
So essential to develop to

356
00:23:01,100 –> 00:23:06,900
obtain this Perfection of God.
One that chooses that path

357
00:23:06,900 –> 00:23:09,900
towards Perfection that leans on
his redemption and forgiveness

358
00:23:09,900 –> 00:23:13,100
in all things that were
naturally led to consider just

359
00:23:13,100 –> 00:23:15,600
how complete that forgiveness
is.

360
00:23:19,700 –> 00:23:26,700
That’s able to make us perfect.
I’m going to suggest we get a

361
00:23:26,708 –> 00:23:30,600
glimpse of this.
In Psalm 32 run sisters, come

362
00:23:30,600 –> 00:23:42,300
with me there, if you will.
You see here in Psalm 32 we

363
00:23:42,300 –> 00:23:44,800
have, what is this beautiful
insight?

364
00:23:45,900 –> 00:23:49,000
Into the Forgiveness of God,
through the words of David.

365
00:23:49,000 –> 00:23:51,700
We read in verse 1.
Blessed is the one against whom.

366
00:23:51,700 –> 00:23:53,700
No.
Whose transgression Is Forgiven

367
00:23:55,900 –> 00:23:59,000
Whose sin is covered.
Read Psalm 32 verse 2.

368
00:23:59,000 –> 00:24:00,900
He’s blessed is the man against
whom the Lord counts.

369
00:24:01,100 –> 00:24:02,600
No iniquity.
So again run sisters here.

370
00:24:02,600 –> 00:24:04,800
We’re seeing this element of
perfection that we’ve been

371
00:24:04,800 –> 00:24:10,200
talking about this morning.
That there is no trace or record

372
00:24:10,300 –> 00:24:13,000
of iniquity counted in the
Forgiveness of God, but don’t go

373
00:24:13,000 –> 00:24:14,500
out with me.
Well, don’t bet with me, if you

374
00:24:14,500 –> 00:24:21,500
will, the verse 5, We’re going
to see just one powerful

375
00:24:21,500 –> 00:24:24,300
consideration.
One element, that characterizes

376
00:24:24,300 –> 00:24:32,200
the Forgiveness of God.
AC here in the lead-up to this

377
00:24:32,200 –> 00:24:39,300
verse We see a description of
this guilty conscience. that I’m

378
00:24:39,300 –> 00:24:41,700
certain run sisters at at some
point or another, in each of Our

379
00:24:41,700 –> 00:24:47,400
Lives, we can all directly
relate to It’s David describes,

380
00:24:47,400 –> 00:24:50,300
this feeling of bones, that
wasted away inside of him.

381
00:24:50,300 –> 00:24:53,300
This this trouble that beset
someday and either dries his

382
00:24:53,300 –> 00:24:55,200
strength like this hot summer
day.

383
00:24:58,900 –> 00:25:00,300
I don’t know about you run
sisters, but there have

384
00:25:00,300 –> 00:25:02,200
certainly been moments of my
life.

385
00:25:04,600 –> 00:25:08,500
Spend exactly like that.
Where every waking thought every

386
00:25:08,500 –> 00:25:11,400
action has been burdened and
crushed.

387
00:25:14,400 –> 00:25:15,900
With the weight of a guilty
conscience.

388
00:25:21,200 –> 00:25:25,800
But then we consider verse 5 and
I love how they and IVs going to

389
00:25:25,808 –> 00:25:28,700
translate this it reads then
says David I acknowledged my sin

390
00:25:28,700 –> 00:25:30,500
to you and did not cover up my
iniquity.

391
00:25:31,800 –> 00:25:33,800
I said I’ll confess my
transgressions the Lord, he

392
00:25:33,808 –> 00:25:36,500
comes in for gone with that part
of Reliance we discussed before.

393
00:25:36,600 –> 00:25:40,700
And in that moment, he says you
forgave even the guilt of my

394
00:25:40,700 –> 00:25:48,800
sin.
Even the guilt of our sin Bronte

395
00:25:48,800 –> 00:25:52,400
sisters, that is the power of
the Forgiveness of God.

396
00:25:54,800 –> 00:25:56,300
Even the guilt can be removed
from us.

397
00:25:56,300 –> 00:25:59,000
That’s the level of perfection
in which he can make us, what a

398
00:25:59,000 –> 00:26:11,500
beautiful relieving and Powerful
consideration. but in reality,

399
00:26:14,500 –> 00:26:19,600
How hard is it to actually?
Let that happen in our lives.

400
00:26:22,300 –> 00:26:26,000
So often the tendency of life is
to hold ourselves and and let’s

401
00:26:26,000 –> 00:26:30,300
be honest those around us to
this Perfection of man discuss

402
00:26:30,300 –> 00:26:33,000
before to this, this idea of all
is this where we can’t help but

403
00:26:33,000 –> 00:26:36,400
reflect a time and time again
the areas we stumbled or that

404
00:26:36,400 –> 00:26:41,200
somebody else made mistakes.
The times we lost sight of the

405
00:26:41,200 –> 00:26:44,300
path in front of us and and did
things that we regret it in.

406
00:26:46,800 –> 00:26:52,400
It’s in that train of thought.
That it was calling us to

407
00:26:52,400 –> 00:26:55,500
remember something.
This is something that my

408
00:26:55,500 –> 00:26:58,400
great-grandfather used to say.
In fact, if I’m remembering

409
00:26:58,400 –> 00:27:00,800
correctly, it was one of the
thrust of his final

410
00:27:00,800 –> 00:27:07,100
exhortations.
And that’s that, it’s not about

411
00:27:07,100 –> 00:27:10,400
the record of what happened in
your life.

412
00:27:12,700 –> 00:27:15,000
Not about what went right and
what went wrong.

413
00:27:15,000 –> 00:27:18,800
It’s fundamentally understanding
a key aspect of the relationship

414
00:27:18,800 –> 00:27:21,200
with our heavenly father.
We have to develop, which is

415
00:27:21,200 –> 00:27:23,900
understanding that if you come
before him with complete,

416
00:27:23,900 –> 00:27:29,900
humility in your heart.
Absent of the seat, he forgives.

417
00:27:32,800 –> 00:27:35,400
And understanding that means
that we are obliged to remove

418
00:27:35,400 –> 00:27:38,000
that guilt, because Gilbert and
sisters is debilitating.

419
00:27:38,000 –> 00:27:44,300
Guilt can impede our ability to
serve We can use it as a crutch

420
00:27:44,300 –> 00:27:47,200
and justification in this life
to inhibit fully.

421
00:27:47,200 –> 00:27:57,000
Devoting Our Lives again to God.
And I’ll be honest, as a young

422
00:27:57,000 –> 00:28:00,200
person.
Those words really didn’t mean

423
00:28:00,200 –> 00:28:07,500
too much to me. but as I got
older, I think I know just just

424
00:28:07,500 –> 00:28:11,800
how true they were.
Because I can think the times of

425
00:28:11,800 –> 00:28:15,400
my own life where I couldn’t
help but get stuck on the record

426
00:28:15,400 –> 00:28:20,200
of the things that happened.
Times where even though I prayed

427
00:28:20,200 –> 00:28:23,200
to God, I still felt that weight
that the weight of a guilty

428
00:28:23,200 –> 00:28:25,900
conscience that David describes
his one that saps our strength

429
00:28:25,900 –> 00:28:28,000
from us it’s not an easy thing
to get rid of.

430
00:28:28,000 –> 00:28:29,700
But the point of it is his
friends sisters.

431
00:28:29,800 –> 00:28:35,100
If we allow ourselves to get
stuck on that record, To become

432
00:28:35,100 –> 00:28:38,400
stagnant in our service.
Then we aren’t truly trusting in

433
00:28:38,400 –> 00:28:40,500
this complete.
Forgiveness of our God, are we?

434
00:28:40,500 –> 00:28:42,500
In other words, we’re saying to
God you might be able to do a

435
00:28:42,500 –> 00:28:51,200
lot with me in my life.
But you can’t make me.

436
00:28:52,300 –> 00:28:58,300
Fully perfect.
How many of the men and women in

437
00:28:58,300 –> 00:29:02,300
our Bibles in front of us?
Could have talked themselves out

438
00:29:02,300 –> 00:29:04,600
of devoting their lives and
further service to God based on

439
00:29:04,600 –> 00:29:06,400
the wrongs.
They commit in the past think

440
00:29:06,400 –> 00:29:10,400
too, Peter.
How easy would that

441
00:29:10,400 –> 00:29:20,000
justification of Ben?
now, an understanding what we

442
00:29:20,000 –> 00:29:24,000
consider this morning brother
and sisters It doesn’t mean a

443
00:29:24,000 –> 00:29:28,200
few things.
It doesn’t mean we liberate

444
00:29:28,200 –> 00:29:33,100
ourselves of all inhibitions.
As Paul says not that sin May

445
00:29:33,100 –> 00:29:35,000
abound in my life.
It’s not about receiving the

446
00:29:35,008 –> 00:29:38,300
grace that we have in Christ and
using it and abusing, it took to

447
00:29:38,300 –> 00:29:44,700
do what we want in this life.
It doesn’t mean we won’t hurt

448
00:29:44,700 –> 00:29:49,200
when we’ve done things wrong.
That there won’t be days of

449
00:29:49,200 –> 00:29:52,600
crying and tears life guarantees
that in abundance burn sisters.

450
00:29:52,600 –> 00:29:55,000
It doesn’t mean we won’t carry
the effects of these actions

451
00:29:55,000 –> 00:29:57,700
with us that we don’t have to
deal with consequences and life.

452
00:29:57,700 –> 00:30:00,800
We certainly know a man like
David did but it does guarantee

453
00:30:00,800 –> 00:30:11,200
you one thing.
And that’s a guarantee of peace.

454
00:30:15,000 –> 00:30:18,700
An easing of your mind, not as
this world could give you.

455
00:30:18,800 –> 00:30:22,800
But is only one man that has
ever walked this Earth.

456
00:30:25,500 –> 00:30:37,500
Has ever been able to guarantee.
We consider the events of Luke

457
00:30:37,500 –> 00:30:42,800
7. in which we had our
introductory reading and in

458
00:30:42,800 –> 00:30:45,800
which lies a powerful
representation of everything,

459
00:30:45,900 –> 00:30:51,100
discussed this morning, We see
an individual.

460
00:30:52,500 –> 00:30:55,400
This woman burdened with the
weight of many sins and flaws.

461
00:30:55,400 –> 00:30:58,100
I record that none would have
ever looked to and described as

462
00:30:58,100 –> 00:31:03,400
perfect.
We see her heart.

463
00:31:05,000 –> 00:31:08,100
Displayed through her actions of
the tears crying in the perfume

464
00:31:08,200 –> 00:31:11,000
Spilled Out in a man’s feet, a
heart that was completely

465
00:31:11,000 –> 00:31:14,200
reliant on the Forgiveness of
the man before here we see her.

466
00:31:14,200 –> 00:31:17,800
This guarantee of peace.
With the word spoken woman.

467
00:31:17,800 –> 00:31:19,700
Your sins are many.
Your sins are forgiven and we

468
00:31:19,700 –> 00:31:21,900
see her this woman.
That was blameless before her

469
00:31:21,900 –> 00:31:30,800
Lord told to go in peace.
For she now carried.

470
00:31:30,800 –> 00:31:36,600
No guilt.
That is how completely.

471
00:31:38,700 –> 00:31:40,900
Her Lord had perfected her in
this moment.

472
00:31:44,600 –> 00:31:46,700
And naturally blonde sisters
upon seeing these events,

473
00:31:46,700 –> 00:31:49,000
transpire before them, there
were those who witnessed these

474
00:31:49,000 –> 00:31:54,300
things and they struggled.
They couldn’t reconcile what

475
00:31:54,300 –> 00:31:56,400
they had just seen for.
How can a woman with such a

476
00:31:56,400 –> 00:31:58,400
great weight and record our sins
with.

477
00:31:58,400 –> 00:32:03,300
So many flaws, just be forgiven.
You know, wasn’t Perfection

478
00:32:03,300 –> 00:32:06,200
earned, isn’t it a long record
of actions that this blameless

479
00:32:06,200 –> 00:32:08,300
adherence to the law of Moses?
And it’s in this incredulous

480
00:32:08,300 –> 00:32:11,000
state that the exclaim allowed
who is this?

481
00:32:15,400 –> 00:32:25,000
That can forgive even sins.
Well, that’s the very same

482
00:32:25,000 –> 00:32:29,200
question.
That we consider this morning.

483
00:32:29,200 –> 00:32:42,600
But in sisters, who is this?
That can forgive our sins. you

484
00:32:42,600 –> 00:32:48,100
see if the many times, That the
word Perfection is ascribed to

485
00:32:48,100 –> 00:32:51,700
Something in the word of God.
The vast majority are used to

486
00:32:51,700 –> 00:32:55,800
describe the kind of sacrifice
that God has always said he

487
00:32:55,800 –> 00:33:01,800
required from man.
This man was one who achieve

488
00:33:01,800 –> 00:33:05,700
this perfection.
Order for the first and only

489
00:33:05,800 –> 00:33:08,900
time in human history is truly
without spot or blemish in his

490
00:33:08,900 –> 00:33:14,200
life who walked in Perfection.
This is a man who not only walk

491
00:33:14,200 –> 00:33:17,300
blameless before his God, but
walked with something God, truly

492
00:33:17,300 –> 00:33:23,200
required of his sacrifice and
that’s a perfect willingness A

493
00:33:23,200 –> 00:33:25,400
perfect Reliance on his father
and all things.

494
00:33:25,400 –> 00:33:27,500
And of course we see these two
aspects of his character, the

495
00:33:27,500 –> 00:33:30,000
perfection in action in the
perfection in his heart.

496
00:33:30,100 –> 00:33:32,000
Well, they come to manifest
themselves in the most

497
00:33:32,000 –> 00:33:34,300
miraculous away from sisters
because you see the power of

498
00:33:34,300 –> 00:33:37,300
this fan isn’t just evident in
the things that he did the

499
00:33:37,300 –> 00:33:39,700
Miracles and acts of power
performed.

500
00:33:45,600 –> 00:33:51,100
It’s the way he spoke to people.
With Words, which came to

501
00:33:51,100 –> 00:33:53,800
ingrain themselves.
Not only in those who heard then

502
00:33:53,900 –> 00:33:57,100
but in the hearts of those who
for thousands of years to come,

503
00:33:57,200 –> 00:34:01,200
could read his words turn and
recognize that man as their

504
00:34:01,200 –> 00:34:07,500
Messiah.
That was the power.

505
00:34:09,199 –> 00:34:12,400
Of the perfect character of
Christ a Perfection this Earth.

506
00:34:14,000 –> 00:34:25,100
Had never before witnessed.
Yet, for all these words.

507
00:34:27,500 –> 00:34:32,199
All these Miracles wonders and
acts of Love done in that short

508
00:34:32,199 –> 00:34:36,900
life.
Well, There were many who hated

509
00:34:36,900 –> 00:34:41,300
him for it.
As the proverb reads

510
00:34:41,300 –> 00:34:44,400
bloodthirsty men hate the way of
the blameless and seek the life

511
00:34:44,400 –> 00:34:46,699
of be upright.
So too, is this man’s way hated

512
00:34:48,500 –> 00:34:49,900
and their anger and their
hatred.

513
00:34:50,000 –> 00:34:52,900
So too, is this man’s life saw?
And it’s as they take him a man.

514
00:34:52,900 –> 00:34:56,100
So blameless that even without
giving a defensive himself, he’s

515
00:34:56,100 –> 00:34:59,500
judges, see his Perfection that
it’s in this moment, we get a

516
00:34:59,500 –> 00:35:06,800
glimpse of Our Lord.
Standing at a Crossroads.

517
00:35:10,500 –> 00:35:17,400
The same one that David. stood
at the same one that job and

518
00:35:17,400 –> 00:35:19,800
Jacobson of the same one that we
will be standing out in our

519
00:35:19,800 –> 00:35:21,500
lives.
When sisters faced with the

520
00:35:21,500 –> 00:35:23,800
choice, and that choice was
either to walk the path of

521
00:35:23,800 –> 00:35:27,300
perfection fully reliant on the
Deliverance of his God.

522
00:35:32,500 –> 00:35:38,200
Or to choose his own way.
The way the flesh would have us

523
00:35:38,200 –> 00:35:46,400
go.
And we know the path that our

524
00:35:46,400 –> 00:35:50,600
Lord chose, don’t, we?
You see that’s a choice.

525
00:35:50,600 –> 00:35:53,500
He’d been making his whole life
and through the trial of

526
00:35:53,500 –> 00:35:57,800
beatings.
Of whips and fist through the

527
00:35:57,808 –> 00:36:00,600
trials of humiliation, as they
call him, King of the Jews and

528
00:36:00,600 –> 00:36:02,500
they clothed him in purple.
And through the trial of

529
00:36:02,500 –> 00:36:05,200
crucifixion is, they nailed him
to that cross next to thieves

530
00:36:05,200 –> 00:36:09,100
and criminals to watch him die.
He not once deviated from the

531
00:36:09,100 –> 00:36:13,600
path of perfection chosen.
Not once.

532
00:36:13,700 –> 00:36:15,900
Does he choose his own way?
But instead he breaks his mind

533
00:36:15,900 –> 00:36:18,600
he killing his flesh of the word
of Isaiah may be fulfilled that

534
00:36:18,600 –> 00:36:21,600
all man may come to see the
glory of God.

535
00:36:24,700 –> 00:36:26,600
And the power of this moment is
summed up beautifully Bronte

536
00:36:26,600 –> 00:36:29,000
sisters and just one powerful
instance that’s this.

537
00:36:29,000 –> 00:36:31,300
Heal a broken and beaten on that
cross.

538
00:36:33,300 –> 00:36:35,900
Dying a death fit for criminals.
Not a man.

539
00:36:39,000 –> 00:36:41,200
A soldier.
We can very well, imagine had

540
00:36:41,200 –> 00:36:45,200
witnessed the same process time
and time again, looks upon that

541
00:36:45,200 –> 00:36:49,600
body.
At seeing past the broken and

542
00:36:49,600 –> 00:36:52,500
torn exterior recognized that he
was seeing something different

543
00:36:52,500 –> 00:36:55,000
that this was an injustice like
you’ve never seen before,

544
00:36:55,100 –> 00:37:00,900
because, what was before him was
a perfect man dying.

545
00:37:06,400 –> 00:37:08,400
Something this Earth had never
before witnessed.

546
00:37:11,400 –> 00:37:13,400
And it’s in this recognition
that he’s claims ladders.

547
00:37:13,400 –> 00:37:16,900
If you can’t hold it, inside of
many, more says surely that man.

548
00:37:16,900 –> 00:37:28,900
Is the son of God.
We see Bronte sisters, just as

549
00:37:28,900 –> 00:37:34,400
that Centurion.
Stood struck in recognition of

550
00:37:34,400 –> 00:37:36,200
the Perfection of the man before
him.

551
00:37:36,200 –> 00:37:42,100
So, to do we now, gather here,
In recognition of the Perfection

552
00:37:42,100 –> 00:37:44,600
of our Lord, and the sacrifice
made for us.

553
00:37:47,100 –> 00:37:49,800
For as it’s written in the
Hebrews, it was my one-man after

554
00:37:49,800 –> 00:37:53,800
you offered one sacrifice for
sins forever, sat down at the

555
00:37:53,800 –> 00:37:56,900
right hand of God.
For by one offering, he hath

556
00:37:56,900 –> 00:38:04,400
perfected forever.
Them that are Sanctified in him.

557
00:38:04,500 –> 00:38:05,600
In other words, brothers,
sisters.

558
00:38:07,500 –> 00:38:12,900
If we are of this man.
If we’re of the sacrifice, that

559
00:38:12,900 –> 00:38:20,100
he made, Perfection is secured.
For what he’s offered.

560
00:38:27,600 –> 00:38:29,300
So it’s as we come before these
emblems.

561
00:38:29,300 –> 00:38:35,300
Now, perhaps feeling the
shackles of many sins that we

562
00:38:35,300 –> 00:38:39,900
fall now upon the mercy of our
God, If you the offering of his

563
00:38:39,900 –> 00:38:43,800
only son has loose these bonds,
we wear that we can leave here

564
00:38:43,900 –> 00:38:47,400
with the resolve.
Of the Apostle, Paul.

565
00:38:49,900 –> 00:38:52,100
Who wrote May the God of Peace
himself?

566
00:38:52,100 –> 00:38:54,200
Sanctify.
You so completely that your

567
00:38:54,200 –> 00:39:01,700
whole Spirit soul and body be
kept blameless, At the coming of

568
00:39:01,700 –> 00:39:06,300
our Lord, he who calls his
faithful.

569
00:39:07,700 –> 00:39:23,300
Surely he will do it.
