Class 2 from this series was used for GCT Episode 196.
00:00:01,300 –> 00:00:07,300
We interface with our kids at
the moment where when we share
2
00:00:07,300 –> 00:00:12,000
with the tend not to come, I say
wistfully to fade because I’m
3
00:00:12,000 –> 00:00:15,600
not sure it was a different and
I suspect it’s probably not
4
00:00:15,600 –> 00:00:18,100
going to change and in fact a
reflection even the dog
5
00:00:18,400 –> 00:00:21,000
responds.
Similarly I noticed that they
6
00:00:21,000 –> 00:00:25,600
come when the call is for
something they really want,
7
00:00:25,600 –> 00:00:28,200
right?
I’m not going to think the
8
00:00:28,200 –> 00:00:29,800
examples that might embarrass
the family.
9
00:00:30,000 –> 00:00:32,700
But, you know, come for this and
all of a sudden there’s a
10
00:00:32,700 –> 00:00:35,800
stampede from the garden as they
race for the thing.
11
00:00:35,900 –> 00:00:39,500
If it’s come for dinner, or can
you please come inside your room
12
00:00:39,700 –> 00:00:41,500
as I’m hoping, it’s not a
unique.
13
00:00:41,500 –> 00:00:45,900
Experience takes about 10,
shouts as the volume gradually
14
00:00:45,900 –> 00:00:51,400
increases and the energy level
rises, and the response becomes
15
00:00:51,400 –> 00:00:57,100
given issue with every volume
increase and as ever in
16
00:00:57,100 –> 00:01:00,800
sometimes in these moments, you
see a microcosm of Kind of human
17
00:01:00,800 –> 00:01:04,400
life, right?
This is sometimes how we can be
18
00:01:04,400 –> 00:01:06,600
with the voice of the Lord
Jesus, isn’t it?
19
00:01:07,700 –> 00:01:12,500
We’re not always as quick to
respond in the same way that our
20
00:01:12,500 –> 00:01:15,400
kids aren’t always as quick to
respond.
21
00:01:15,400 –> 00:01:20,400
As we would we would like Under
June, for the Sisters words have
22
00:01:20,400 –> 00:01:24,700
always been powerful.
If you think about the very way,
23
00:01:24,800 –> 00:01:29,000
scripture opens.
And you read Genesis chapter
24
00:01:29,000 –> 00:01:32,100
one, there, you’re left with
without any doubt at all.
25
00:01:32,100 –> 00:01:36,800
As to what the creative spark
was that brought everything into
26
00:01:36,800 –> 00:01:38,700
being.
There’s no doubt about it, is
27
00:01:38,700 –> 00:01:42,300
that it wasn’t chemistry or
biology or physics.
28
00:01:42,600 –> 00:01:47,000
It was.
And God said, Ten times there in
29
00:01:47,000 –> 00:01:50,300
Genesis chapter one, we’re just
as you begin opening you know
30
00:01:50,400 –> 00:01:52,100
it’s like a classic novel, isn’t
it?
31
00:01:52,100 –> 00:01:56,000
You open at the first page is
got to grip you and God wants to
32
00:01:56,000 –> 00:01:58,700
present himself to you on the
very opening of the first
33
00:01:58,700 –> 00:02:01,400
scroll.
This is how it’s going to work
34
00:02:01,500 –> 00:02:05,600
my voice.
My words are exceedingly
35
00:02:05,600 –> 00:02:09,500
powerful.
And God said, let there be light
36
00:02:09,900 –> 00:02:14,100
and there was and God said let
the waters be separated from the
37
00:02:14,100 –> 00:02:18,800
dry land and it was and God
said, let them let the CC Teem
38
00:02:18,800 –> 00:02:25,000
with living creatures and it was
And God said 10 times and
39
00:02:25,000 –> 00:02:27,600
there’s no question is there and
of course it was an important
40
00:02:27,600 –> 00:02:29,400
statement.
As you begin opening the first
41
00:02:29,400 –> 00:02:31,800
scroll because there’s a lot
Scrolls that we’re going to
42
00:02:31,800 –> 00:02:35,600
follow that, we’re going to
document God’s dealings with
43
00:02:35,600 –> 00:02:39,800
humans throughout history and
lay out his plan in words.
44
00:02:40,900 –> 00:02:46,500
And those words had the
capability, the potential, the
45
00:02:46,500 –> 00:02:54,500
power to change and to create
and to ignite words, have always
46
00:02:54,500 –> 00:02:58,900
been very powerful and
especially when they are God’s
47
00:02:59,100 –> 00:03:03,300
words.
Can any of you remember, how
48
00:03:04,500 –> 00:03:06,500
this is test your Sunday school
proofs?
49
00:03:06,500 –> 00:03:10,500
Now, without looking at it, can
you remember how Hebrews chapter
50
00:03:10,500 –> 00:03:17,000
11, which is, Come on, somebody
starts off.
51
00:03:18,400 –> 00:03:23,600
Faith is the substance of things
hoped for the evidence of things
52
00:03:23,600 –> 00:03:26,000
not seen, right?
That’s verse 1.
53
00:03:26,000 –> 00:03:31,500
He remember, verse 2, I don’t
write the elders obtained, a
54
00:03:31,500 –> 00:03:34,300
good report, we’re getting less
down the popular proofs now.
55
00:03:35,600 –> 00:03:43,000
And if we remember verse 3, For
by faith, we believe that the
56
00:03:43,000 –> 00:03:47,400
world was made by the word of
God.
57
00:03:47,700 –> 00:03:51,800
Have you ever wondered why?
When the writer began that
58
00:03:51,800 –> 00:03:53,500
chapter?
Which is so famous.
59
00:03:53,500 –> 00:03:59,000
Isn’t it of all these people?
This was the opening sequence by
60
00:03:59,000 –> 00:04:00,500
faith.
The elders obtained, a good
61
00:04:00,500 –> 00:04:03,500
report.
And by faith, we believe that
62
00:04:03,500 –> 00:04:08,800
the worlds were made by the word
of God, and now he’s going to
63
00:04:08,800 –> 00:04:13,200
move on to say, well, Well, I’m
by faith, Enoch and by faith,
64
00:04:13,500 –> 00:04:16,700
Noah, and by faith Abraham, and
so on, and so on.
65
00:04:17,500 –> 00:04:20,399
And the point, the Apostle
wanted to make was remember that
66
00:04:20,399 –> 00:04:25,100
creative spark that happened in
Genesis when God said and it was
67
00:04:25,100 –> 00:04:31,300
done there was a there was a
deep-seated lesson wrapped up in
68
00:04:31,300 –> 00:04:34,400
that philosophy.
That was what God did to
69
00:04:34,400 –> 00:04:36,600
Creation.
He wants to do to you.
70
00:04:37,400 –> 00:04:40,100
The way God speaks he wants
something to happen.
71
00:04:40,100 –> 00:04:45,300
He wants that creative energy to
be translated into action and by
72
00:04:45,300 –> 00:04:48,300
faith, we believe that the
worlds were made by the word of
73
00:04:48,300 –> 00:04:51,800
God, so that things which are
made are not the things which
74
00:04:51,800 –> 00:04:54,900
are seen were not made of things
which do appear by faith.
75
00:04:54,900 –> 00:04:58,000
Enoch, and what is going to go
on to give you now is a catalog
76
00:04:58,000 –> 00:05:02,500
of people who followed that
creative model, God spoke, and
77
00:05:02,500 –> 00:05:05,500
it was done.
So when God said to Enoch, he
78
00:05:05,500 –> 00:05:10,100
believed it and he did And when
God said to Noah, Noah to build
79
00:05:10,100 –> 00:05:13,800
an ark for the saving of your
house, Noah did it.
80
00:05:13,800 –> 00:05:17,600
There was a creative spark from
God’s word and there was a
81
00:05:17,600 –> 00:05:19,900
response and that’s what we’re
to learn.
82
00:05:19,900 –> 00:05:23,300
I mean we’re broad brush now
aren’t we from Genesis chapter 1
83
00:05:23,500 –> 00:05:27,500
God said and it was done and the
one thing that tends not to
84
00:05:27,500 –> 00:05:29,700
happen.
So instinctively where you got
85
00:05:29,700 –> 00:05:34,000
speaks is that human beings
become into the image of God.
86
00:05:34,800 –> 00:05:40,100
When God said, let there be
light, there was when God said,
87
00:05:41,100 –> 00:05:46,600
let us make man in our image and
after our likeness, the process
88
00:05:46,600 –> 00:05:52,300
took a little longer and in fact
it’s not quite done, is it?
89
00:05:54,000 –> 00:05:57,600
Because the only thing that
doesn’t respond as instinctively
90
00:05:57,600 –> 00:06:03,500
as everything else in creation
to the voice of God is you mean?
91
00:06:04,700 –> 00:06:08,100
It’s the great irony, isn’t it?
That the one Pinnacle of God’s
92
00:06:08,100 –> 00:06:16,100
creation doesn’t as naturally
inherently automatically Behave
93
00:06:16,100 –> 00:06:21,000
in a way that is.
A natural consequence of the
94
00:06:21,400 –> 00:06:24,800
creative word with which it was
made by God in the beginning.
95
00:06:26,600 –> 00:06:29,000
And that’s why this word is laid
out before us, isn’t it?
96
00:06:29,200 –> 00:06:33,800
This word is able to make you
wise unto salvation.
97
00:06:33,800 –> 00:06:39,500
This word is an able to embed
itself in the recesses of your
98
00:06:39,500 –> 00:06:42,200
hearts and minds and to create
change.
99
00:06:43,100 –> 00:06:47,900
And to gradually slowly turn it
into men and women in the image
100
00:06:47,900 –> 00:06:50,900
and after the likeness of God
himself, and it’s the reason in
101
00:06:50,900 –> 00:06:53,400
a way, isn’t it?
Why when John introduces us to
102
00:06:53,400 –> 00:06:56,200
the Lord Jesus Christ, at the
beginning of his gospel, he
103
00:06:56,200 –> 00:06:59,600
describes him as the word made
flesh.
104
00:06:59,600 –> 00:07:02,200
Doesn’t he, and he’s taking you
right back to Genesis again,
105
00:07:02,200 –> 00:07:06,000
isn’t he said, I want you to now
see that creative process in the
106
00:07:06,000 –> 00:07:10,300
life of a man.
You know, seen that before in
107
00:07:10,300 –> 00:07:12,600
quite the way, you’re now going
to see it in the Lord Jesus
108
00:07:12,600 –> 00:07:15,900
Christ, that when God said, let
there be light and there was I
109
00:07:15,907 –> 00:07:19,000
want you to see now says John
what that looks like when God
110
00:07:19,000 –> 00:07:23,500
said to the Lord Jesus Christ,
you know, and spoke to him and
111
00:07:23,600 –> 00:07:27,400
filled him with his word.
What that look like in action.
112
00:07:28,100 –> 00:07:31,200
Until now is going to present
the Lord Jesus Christ.
113
00:07:31,200 –> 00:07:35,000
In this way, we should come with
me to John’s gospel chapter 6,
114
00:07:35,000 –> 00:07:41,500
because the Lord Jesus himself.
Now is presented by John here as
115
00:07:41,500 –> 00:07:45,200
one of whom.
When he speaks that, that word
116
00:07:45,200 –> 00:07:49,400
is powerful and and gives life
John chapter 6.
117
00:07:49,400 –> 00:07:52,300
And remember the occasion here.
This is the end of the discourse
118
00:07:52,300 –> 00:07:58,200
after the feeding of the 5000
and these are the words of Of
119
00:07:58,200 –> 00:08:03,100
the Lord Jesus Christ, John 656
he who eats my flesh and drinks.
120
00:08:03,100 –> 00:08:06,200
My blood abides in me.
And I in him as the living,
121
00:08:06,200 –> 00:08:10,900
father, sent me and I live by
the father so he that beats me,
122
00:08:11,400 –> 00:08:15,300
even he will live by me.
This is the bread, which came
123
00:08:15,300 –> 00:08:19,300
down from heaven, not as your
father’s did eat Manna in a day
124
00:08:19,300 –> 00:08:22,700
and he that eats of this bread
shall live forever as very
125
00:08:22,700 –> 00:08:24,400
challenging state of the Lord
Jesus Christ.
126
00:08:24,400 –> 00:08:28,300
He’s using these extraordinary
multiple metaphors about Our
127
00:08:28,300 –> 00:08:31,200
eating his flesh and the bread
from heaven.
128
00:08:31,300 –> 00:08:34,400
And in fact, in verse 60 it says
many of his disciples when they
129
00:08:34,400 –> 00:08:39,900
heard this said, this is a hard
saying who can hear it?
130
00:08:41,600 –> 00:08:45,300
But then Jesus goes on to say,
verse 62, what?
131
00:08:45,300 –> 00:08:49,200
And if you will see the son of
man Ascend of way, he was
132
00:08:49,200 –> 00:08:56,100
before, It’s the spirit that
quickens makes you alive.
133
00:08:56,500 –> 00:08:59,800
The flesh profits.
Nothing the words that I speak
134
00:08:59,800 –> 00:09:03,000
unto you.
They are spirit and they are
135
00:09:03,000 –> 00:09:05,800
Life.
As a beautiful thing that is
136
00:09:05,800 –> 00:09:07,700
there.
That’s that’s why we’re here,
137
00:09:07,700 –> 00:09:09,100
isn’t it?
Because the words of the Lord
138
00:09:09,100 –> 00:09:12,500
Jesus Christ and not just
interesting They are
139
00:09:12,500 –> 00:09:16,200
interesting.
But that their intention there,
140
00:09:16,500 –> 00:09:20,900
they’re driving force is to
instill life and you might think
141
00:09:20,900 –> 00:09:23,300
yourself of already got my life,
you know, I’m here.
142
00:09:23,300 –> 00:09:24,900
I’m breathing my heart’s
pumping.
143
00:09:26,000 –> 00:09:29,600
Clearly, Jesus means something
more than what you’ve got
144
00:09:29,600 –> 00:09:32,400
already.
There is a, there is an essence
145
00:09:32,400 –> 00:09:37,400
of life that can that can be
attained by the embracing of the
146
00:09:37,400 –> 00:09:40,700
power of the word of the Lord
Jesus Christ.
147
00:09:40,700 –> 00:09:46,100
That the Lord Jesus wants to
wants to convey here.
148
00:09:46,200 –> 00:09:48,800
Now, it’s worth just thinking
about this word life for a
149
00:09:48,808 –> 00:09:51,700
moment to make sure we’ve
really, we’ve really understood
150
00:09:51,700 –> 00:09:56,300
it because particularly the Lord
Jesus uses it because this is
151
00:09:56,300 –> 00:09:59,400
one of the words here in the
English, for these Greek words
152
00:09:59,400 –> 00:10:04,700
that have been used by the Lord
Jesus Christ, but more than
153
00:10:04,700 –> 00:10:15,700
that, Never mind.
We are speaking with the outset,
154
00:10:16,700 –> 00:10:18,200
there’s more than one, Greek
word.
155
00:10:18,200 –> 00:10:20,700
Let’s just look at them.
The first time they appear
156
00:10:20,700 –> 00:10:21,800
actually on the lips of the
Lord.
157
00:10:21,800 –> 00:10:23,900
Jesus Christ.
Come with me to Matthew chapter
158
00:10:25,900 –> 00:10:41,600
6.
Nothing 6:25.
159
00:10:41,600 –> 00:10:46,400
You know this verse therefore I
say unto you take no thought for
160
00:10:46,408 –> 00:10:50,500
your life what you will eat or
what you will drink nor yet for
161
00:10:50,500 –> 00:10:55,300
your body, what you will put on
is not the life more than food
162
00:10:55,400 –> 00:10:57,200
and the body more than
Raymond’s.
163
00:10:57,400 –> 00:11:00,500
There’s any know, they, the
Greek word that Jesus is using
164
00:11:00,500 –> 00:11:03,800
here that’s translated in
English life.
165
00:11:05,100 –> 00:11:09,800
Little bit of Greek psyche right
from where we get the word.
166
00:11:09,800 –> 00:11:11,200
So thank you.
Okay.
167
00:11:11,200 –> 00:11:13,800
So this is the Greek word,
psyche, you’ll discover in the
168
00:11:13,808 –> 00:11:16,100
next ten seconds, I’m not
reading specialist.
169
00:11:17,000 –> 00:11:21,300
So I’ve already of the limits
here and the word is it’s used
170
00:11:21,300 –> 00:11:23,900
by the Lord Jesus Christ here.
As you can see, also see coming
171
00:11:23,900 –> 00:11:27,900
from the context here is not
talking necessarily about our
172
00:11:27,900 –> 00:11:32,400
spiritual life here.
Is he take no thought for your
173
00:11:32,400 –> 00:11:36,000
life, what you will eat, or what
you will drink, or for your
174
00:11:36,000 –> 00:11:38,700
body?
What you put on the, the life is
175
00:11:38,700 –> 00:11:41,800
more than food and the body.
More than raiment and the Greek
176
00:11:41,800 –> 00:11:45,000
word Jesus used here.
Was this word psyche and he’s
177
00:11:45,000 –> 00:11:48,600
talking here about the more
physical aspects of our life,
178
00:11:48,600 –> 00:11:50,800
isn’t he?
That we ought not to be worrying
179
00:11:50,800 –> 00:11:54,600
about life ought to be more than
these things and all your future
180
00:11:54,600 –> 00:11:58,000
endeavors for the next chapter
to see again the English word
181
00:11:58,000 –> 00:12:01,700
life but it completely different
word you Used by the Lord Jesus
182
00:12:01,700 –> 00:12:07,200
Christ, but only chapter 7.
Again verse you’ll know really
183
00:12:07,200 –> 00:12:10,300
well.
First 30, enter in at the strait
184
00:12:10,300 –> 00:12:14,800
gate for wide is the gate and
Broad is the way that leads to
185
00:12:14,800 –> 00:12:19,200
destruction and many there.
Be that go in there at Because
186
00:12:19,200 –> 00:12:24,600
Strait is the gate and narrow is
the way which leads to life.
187
00:12:25,900 –> 00:12:29,600
And few there.
Be that find it totally
188
00:12:29,600 –> 00:12:33,400
different words.
Here, still translated life in
189
00:12:33,400 –> 00:12:35,300
English.
Anybody know the Greek word here
190
00:12:36,400 –> 00:12:41,000
This is Zoe.
Okay, don’t forget museum with
191
00:12:41,000 –> 00:12:42,300
here.
Lovely words.
192
00:12:43,500 –> 00:12:45,000
I’m pretty much on every
occasion.
193
00:12:45,000 –> 00:12:47,700
This word is used by the Lord
Jesus Christ.
194
00:12:47,700 –> 00:12:49,700
You can tell the essence of
this, yeah.
195
00:12:50,700 –> 00:12:55,100
That those who find the narrow
gate discovered that it leads to
196
00:12:55,100 –> 00:12:58,600
life.
And this word means eternal
197
00:12:58,600 –> 00:13:00,900
life.
It means the quality of life
198
00:13:00,900 –> 00:13:04,100
that goes beyond what you eat or
drink or the clothes that you
199
00:13:04,100 –> 00:13:07,100
wear.
This is the kind of life that
200
00:13:07,100 –> 00:13:10,900
the Lord Jesus wants to fill us
with.
201
00:13:11,000 –> 00:13:15,500
And to give us by his His word
if we are willing to listen to
202
00:13:15,500 –> 00:13:18,800
it and I don’t remember in John
6 where we were a moment ago
203
00:13:18,800 –> 00:13:22,900
when when that discourse ended
Jesus said to the disciples
204
00:13:22,900 –> 00:13:26,000
will.
You also go away and remember
205
00:13:26,000 –> 00:13:30,700
how Peter responded to the Lord?
He said, Lord to whom, shall we
206
00:13:30,700 –> 00:13:33,900
go?
You have the words?
207
00:13:35,000 –> 00:13:39,800
Of eternal life.
If ever, you ever think that
208
00:13:39,800 –> 00:13:43,300
pizza was a rash personal,
didn’t think about what he said.
209
00:13:43,300 –> 00:13:46,300
That’s not a fair representation
about.
210
00:13:46,300 –> 00:13:50,100
He was the one person up there,
who fully understood everything
211
00:13:50,100 –> 00:13:53,100
Jesus said, Lord to whom, shall
we go?
212
00:13:53,100 –> 00:13:58,700
You have the words?
Of eternal life when you come
213
00:13:58,700 –> 00:14:02,700
into John 5 because what just
just with that introduction,
214
00:14:02,800 –> 00:14:06,300
which took most of the tool is
always the case.
215
00:14:06,300 –> 00:14:12,200
Of course, I want us to think
now about the Shout with which
216
00:14:12,200 –> 00:14:16,600
the Lord will be saved.
What was it, what will it be?
217
00:14:16,600 –> 00:14:19,200
Do you think that the Lord Jesus
Will shout?
218
00:14:19,800 –> 00:14:24,200
And how will you hear it?
How will you feel when you hear
219
00:14:24,200 –> 00:14:27,600
it?
And how will you respond?
220
00:14:28,100 –> 00:14:30,700
Will it be like my kids down the
garden when they’re being asked
221
00:14:30,700 –> 00:14:32,100
to tell you?
They’re rude.
222
00:14:33,300 –> 00:14:37,300
Or will it be the most
extraordinary, exciting sound?
223
00:14:37,300 –> 00:14:41,100
You’ve ever heard this?
Shout from the Lord Jesus
224
00:14:41,100 –> 00:14:46,000
Christ, the reception here in
John 5 because John describes
225
00:14:46,400 –> 00:14:50,500
the resurrection and he
described it in two stages which
226
00:14:50,500 –> 00:14:54,200
when you read it kind of
cursorily kind of causes you if
227
00:14:54,200 –> 00:14:58,000
you’re careful a bit of a
challenge because if he takes it
228
00:14:58,000 –> 00:15:00,500
into steps, in order to notice
this really carefully.
229
00:15:00,500 –> 00:15:03,900
So the first one is in John,
5:24 25.
230
00:15:05,600 –> 00:15:07,400
Verily, verily.
I say unto you.
231
00:15:08,000 –> 00:15:13,400
The hour is coming and now is
when the dead, shall hear the
232
00:15:13,400 –> 00:15:18,700
voice of the Son of God and
they, that hear shall live.
233
00:15:19,700 –> 00:15:23,000
Which Greek word to think of is.
It’s Zoe.
234
00:15:23,200 –> 00:15:26,000
No question here.
This is the life that will
235
00:15:26,000 –> 00:15:30,600
happen when they’re dead.
Hear the voice of the Son of God
236
00:15:30,900 –> 00:15:32,900
and you think yourself?
Well, when’s that then and and
237
00:15:32,900 –> 00:15:35,300
of whom is he speaking?
Because I need to do is come
238
00:15:35,300 –> 00:15:38,200
down, a couple of verses.
And Jesus almost says the same
239
00:15:38,200 –> 00:15:41,000
things again, only this time,
it’s a little different verse
240
00:15:41,000 –> 00:15:44,800
28, Marvel, not at this, for the
hour is coming in, which all the
241
00:15:44,800 –> 00:15:47,600
two are in.
The graves, will hear his voice
242
00:15:48,100 –> 00:15:51,800
and shall come forth.
They that have done good unto
243
00:15:51,800 –> 00:15:56,900
the Resurrection of life.
Same Greek word and they did
244
00:15:56,900 –> 00:16:00,300
have done evil unto the
resurrection of damnation or
245
00:16:00,300 –> 00:16:02,900
judgments.
So two different types of
246
00:16:02,900 –> 00:16:05,400
Resurrection happening here.
And I put it to you burn
247
00:16:05,400 –> 00:16:07,800
sisters, they’re both.
They both happen in very
248
00:16:07,800 –> 00:16:13,900
different time scales.
The first one there in verse 25
249
00:16:14,100 –> 00:16:17,600
is the one that you and I have
the opportunity to engage in
250
00:16:17,600 –> 00:16:21,000
right now.
And that’s clear to it’s worth
251
00:16:21,000 –> 00:16:23,500
just I was going to do it on the
screen but can’t and I’m not
252
00:16:23,500 –> 00:16:25,500
going to fuck around with it.
Because then all the time, we
253
00:16:25,500 –> 00:16:28,900
gone just to play Spot.
The Difference between the two
254
00:16:28,900 –> 00:16:32,400
versus one of the first things
you’ll notice there in those 25
255
00:16:32,400 –> 00:16:34,700
is very, very unsafe to use is
Jesus.
256
00:16:34,700 –> 00:16:38,700
The hour is coming and now is
it’s here.
257
00:16:38,700 –> 00:16:43,400
Now, when the dead will hear the
voice of the Son of God and
258
00:16:43,400 –> 00:16:48,700
those who hear, not everybody,
those who hear will live and
259
00:16:48,700 –> 00:16:51,400
just look at the Text then verse
24.
260
00:16:51,400 –> 00:16:54,700
Very, very awesome to you.
He who hears my word and
261
00:16:54,700 –> 00:16:59,200
believes on him who sent me has
everlasting life and will not
262
00:16:59,200 –> 00:17:03,300
come into judgment but has
passed from Death to life and
263
00:17:03,300 –> 00:17:04,900
you can see what the Lord Jesus
saying.
264
00:17:05,000 –> 00:17:08,700
This Resurrection is happening.
Now this is this lovely use of
265
00:17:08,700 –> 00:17:12,200
metaphor in the New Testament
where people who are alive can
266
00:17:12,200 –> 00:17:15,200
be described as dead and people
who are dead.
267
00:17:15,200 –> 00:17:19,099
Can be described as being alive.
Oh, Jesus doing just that he
268
00:17:19,099 –> 00:17:22,500
said, You were dead in
trespasses and sins, having the
269
00:17:22,500 –> 00:17:26,599
opportunity by the power of my
word to be brought to life.
270
00:17:26,599 –> 00:17:32,200
Now, to be given this sense of
Zoe life fall eternal life, not
271
00:17:32,200 –> 00:17:35,500
in its completeness, that would
be done of course until the
272
00:17:35,500 –> 00:17:38,300
ultimate Resurrection.
But that Resurrection, no
273
00:17:38,300 –> 00:17:40,200
question.
If you want to engage in the
274
00:17:40,200 –> 00:17:43,900
second you have to do the first.
You can’t have one without the
275
00:17:43,900 –> 00:17:48,100
other only those who will be
raised and will be with the Lord
276
00:17:48,100 –> 00:17:51,400
forever will be those.
Who were brought to life in the
277
00:17:51,400 –> 00:17:52,900
Zoe sense?
Not in.
278
00:17:52,900 –> 00:17:59,900
The psyche sense, thankfully
will be able to engage fully in
279
00:17:59,900 –> 00:18:02,400
the second, which is why he
makes the emphasis there in
280
00:18:02,400 –> 00:18:05,800
verse 28.
The hour is coming in, which all
281
00:18:05,800 –> 00:18:10,700
who are in the graves.
I will hear his voice.
282
00:18:11,400 –> 00:18:12,700
That’s what the Apostle Paul was
talking about.
283
00:18:12,700 –> 00:18:16,900
If I Sloane’s isn’t it, the Lord
will descend with a shout and
284
00:18:16,900 –> 00:18:23,100
the dead in Christ will rise.
First There is a Time coming,
285
00:18:23,100 –> 00:18:26,400
when all those who are in the
graves will hear his voice and
286
00:18:26,400 –> 00:18:30,500
they will come forth some to the
resurrection of life.
287
00:18:31,700 –> 00:18:36,300
Instead of the resurrection of
of judgments, you can’t have one
288
00:18:36,300 –> 00:18:39,500
without the other.
And it just shows, you Disney
289
00:18:39,500 –> 00:18:43,800
Princesses how powerful the
voice of the Lord Jesus is.
290
00:18:45,100 –> 00:18:49,000
He commanded the demons to
depart from those who were
291
00:18:49,000 –> 00:18:54,100
tormented Durham with a
commanding word and out.
292
00:18:54,100 –> 00:18:58,700
They came He spoke to dummy
years, he would never heard a
293
00:18:58,700 –> 00:19:01,400
thing.
Remember the Mountain King, the
294
00:19:01,400 –> 00:19:05,000
Lord.
Jesus said, if father be opened
295
00:19:05,000 –> 00:19:08,600
and these ears which had never
heard a sound somehow, the voice
296
00:19:08,600 –> 00:19:12,000
of Jesus could penetrate.
Don’t ears that had never heard
297
00:19:12,100 –> 00:19:17,700
anything.
He rebuked the wind and the
298
00:19:17,700 –> 00:19:23,900
waves and they evade him and he
always raised the dead brother
299
00:19:23,900 –> 00:19:30,000
and sisters with his voice.
Remember the the daughter of
300
00:19:30,000 –> 00:19:36,300
gyrus he was with a word Tabitha
Kumar I he said Remember the
301
00:19:36,300 –> 00:19:42,600
Widow, it name your mum, I say
to you he said arise God all
302
00:19:42,800 –> 00:19:47,700
Jesus always raised the dead by
speaking with the power of His
303
00:19:47,700 –> 00:19:50,900
voice and the Creative Energy
that was always there in the
304
00:19:50,900 –> 00:19:53,600
word of God.
And in the in the power of God
305
00:19:53,700 –> 00:19:57,100
and did you notice what it says
here in John John.
306
00:19:57,300 –> 00:20:03,200
To fight with verse 29.
They will come forth a way to
307
00:20:03,200 –> 00:20:06,000
notice that that phrase Brenda
sisters.
308
00:20:06,000 –> 00:20:09,600
Because there is a case study in
John’s gospel and that very
309
00:20:09,600 –> 00:20:13,400
thing being done in.
John chapter 11, you remember
310
00:20:13,400 –> 00:20:23,000
this occasion?
This was the raising of Lazarus
311
00:20:23,600 –> 00:20:26,200
and I’m going to finish by
suggesting to your ancestors.
312
00:20:26,200 –> 00:20:30,700
That this might be the shan’t.
For the Apostle Paul was
313
00:20:30,700 –> 00:20:33,400
referring to.
I think there’s only two
314
00:20:33,400 –> 00:20:36,200
occasions were told the Lord.
Jesus raised his voice.
315
00:20:38,000 –> 00:20:40,100
I think only two, I can
remember.
316
00:20:41,300 –> 00:20:45,600
And this is one.
When Jesus came to the tomb of
317
00:20:45,600 –> 00:20:52,500
Lazarus verse 42, Jesus said to
his father in prayer.
318
00:20:52,500 –> 00:20:55,900
I knew that you hear me, always,
but because of the people, we
319
00:20:55,900 –> 00:21:00,300
stand by our said that they may
believe that you have sent me
320
00:21:00,900 –> 00:21:05,600
when those he had spoken.
He cried with a loud voice
321
00:21:06,000 –> 00:21:09,200
Lazarus.
Come forth.
322
00:21:10,300 –> 00:21:13,100
And that’s exactly what he said
in John chapter 5 was it?
323
00:21:13,100 –> 00:21:15,200
This is the, this is the
evidence.
324
00:21:15,200 –> 00:21:18,700
Now to the Jews that this this
prophecy was going to be made in
325
00:21:18,700 –> 00:21:21,900
reality, that there is a Time
coming, when all who are in the
326
00:21:21,900 –> 00:21:26,100
graves, will hear his voice and
they will come forth, and you’re
327
00:21:26,100 –> 00:21:28,800
purposely presents.
Jesus now is standing outside
328
00:21:28,800 –> 00:21:33,400
this to shouting into this to
Lazarus come forth.
329
00:21:36,100 –> 00:21:37,900
I’m the voice of the Lord.
Jesus Christ.
330
00:21:37,900 –> 00:21:41,400
Princesses was so powerful.
It Could Wake the Dead.
331
00:21:44,200 –> 00:21:49,400
And he who was dead.
Came forth bound hand and foot
332
00:21:49,900 –> 00:21:52,100
with grave clothes and that
lovely burnt sisters.
333
00:21:52,500 –> 00:21:54,800
There’s no wonder.
Is it that the Lord Jesus would
334
00:21:54,800 –> 00:22:00,100
later.
Say my sheep know my voice, I
335
00:22:00,100 –> 00:22:03,700
don’t give them eternal life.
Doing what Jesus said to pilate
336
00:22:03,900 –> 00:22:06,500
for this cause came I into the
world that I should bear witness
337
00:22:06,500 –> 00:22:09,600
of the truth.
Everyone who is of the truth
338
00:22:09,800 –> 00:22:14,000
hears, my voice.
There is a resonance in the
339
00:22:14,000 –> 00:22:17,200
hearts and Minds were ancestors
of those who have embraced the
340
00:22:17,200 –> 00:22:20,800
truth, that recognized the voice
of the Lord Jesus Christ, when
341
00:22:20,800 –> 00:22:25,100
they hear it.
That’s The Wonder of the power
342
00:22:25,100 –> 00:22:29,100
of the word, isn’t it?
Of the Lord Jesus Christ.
343
00:22:29,100 –> 00:22:32,900
And the question is, when
sisters, whether we have really
344
00:22:32,900 –> 00:22:36,900
heard the voice of the Lord
Jesus Christ.
345
00:22:38,400 –> 00:22:41,600
Because if you want to hear it
on that day, if you want that
346
00:22:41,600 –> 00:22:44,500
voice to break the sound barrier
of the two.
347
00:22:46,400 –> 00:22:50,000
And wake you from your sleep,
even when no other in a place
348
00:22:50,000 –> 00:22:53,900
where no other voices can reach.
I’m sure there are some who
349
00:22:53,900 –> 00:22:57,400
would have loved the opportunity
to have spoken to those who are
350
00:22:57,400 –> 00:23:00,700
asleep for your voice, still to
be heard.
351
00:23:03,300 –> 00:23:06,600
Can you imagine what it will be?
Grunts is on the day when he
352
00:23:06,600 –> 00:23:12,400
returns that, that voice will be
heard here in there, is nowhere
353
00:23:12,500 –> 00:23:14,600
for those who have heard his
voice.
354
00:23:14,600 –> 00:23:19,400
Now where there’s no way they
will not recognize it, When it
355
00:23:19,400 –> 00:23:24,200
comes and it is spoken.
Finally at that rate shouts when
356
00:23:24,200 –> 00:23:28,900
the Lord is here.
I’m in John chapter 12, if you
357
00:23:28,900 –> 00:23:31,500
just I didn’t to stop it.
If you just scan your eyes down
358
00:23:31,500 –> 00:23:34,400
the events that happened.
Next it’s almost as if John
359
00:23:34,400 –> 00:23:37,000
plays out.
Now in the events here, a
360
00:23:37,000 –> 00:23:40,400
fulfillment of what Paul the
described in 1 Thessalonians 4,
361
00:23:40,400 –> 00:23:43,400
we read it together as we’re
just as we started in want to
362
00:23:43,400 –> 00:23:46,600
miss that moment for you to hear
the context of the words were
363
00:23:46,600 –> 00:23:51,000
thinking about this weekend.
How the Lord will descend with a
364
00:23:51,000 –> 00:23:53,600
shout with the voice of the
Archangel with the trumpet of
365
00:23:53,600 –> 00:23:55,400
God and the dead in Christ will
rise.
366
00:23:55,400 –> 00:23:59,400
First And under and then we will
together be joined with them to
367
00:23:59,400 –> 00:24:02,800
go and meet the Lord and
hearing, I don’t know if you
368
00:24:02,900 –> 00:24:06,500
noticed before in John, chapter
12, there’s a crowd who leave
369
00:24:06,500 –> 00:24:10,000
Bethany with the Lord Jesus
Christ with that with that those
370
00:24:10,000 –> 00:24:13,100
who have been raised from the
dead, lovely seeing this.
371
00:24:13,300 –> 00:24:17,100
So Jesus begins to make his way
to Jerusalem for the final week
372
00:24:17,100 –> 00:24:20,600
of his life and he’s bringing
with him a man who’s been raised
373
00:24:20,600 –> 00:24:23,000
from the dead.
There was a man in that kid that
374
00:24:23,000 –> 00:24:25,900
company who has literally been
raised from the dead.
375
00:24:26,100 –> 00:24:30,000
And they’re all talking about it
and you can sense that just the
376
00:24:30,008 –> 00:24:32,400
words that come out here in John
chapter 12.
377
00:24:33,700 –> 00:24:37,500
Let’s just pick it up in verse,
verse 12 on the next day, many
378
00:24:37,500 –> 00:24:42,600
people that would come to the
feast when they heard that Jesus
379
00:24:42,600 –> 00:24:47,000
was coming to Jerusalem to
branches of palm trees and went
380
00:24:47,000 –> 00:24:51,800
out to meet him and cry blessed,
is he who comes in the name of
381
00:24:51,800 –> 00:24:54,600
the Lord Hosanna.
So did you see that?
382
00:24:54,700 –> 00:24:55,800
There is a group of those are
good.
383
00:24:56,000 –> 00:24:58,900
I’m coming from Bethany with
Lazarus is with them and there’s
384
00:24:58,900 –> 00:25:01,600
a group here in Jerusalem who
have heard that Jesus coming.
385
00:25:01,700 –> 00:25:06,800
And when they hear that he’s
coming, They leave Jerusalem and
386
00:25:06,800 –> 00:25:09,500
they go out to meet him and John
careful.
387
00:25:09,500 –> 00:25:12,600
He’s positioning these words.
This is a cameo of the coming of
388
00:25:12,600 –> 00:25:21,300
the Lord, Jesus Christ.
The second time verse 17, The
389
00:25:21,300 –> 00:25:25,500
people therefore that was with
him when he called Lazarus out
390
00:25:25,500 –> 00:25:30,500
of the grave and raised him from
the dead bear record and for
391
00:25:30,500 –> 00:25:35,900
this, cause the people also met
him for they had heard that he
392
00:25:35,900 –> 00:25:40,500
had done this miracle and the
Pharisees novel that all the
393
00:25:40,500 –> 00:25:44,200
world is gone after him.
So you can see this great
394
00:25:44,300 –> 00:25:48,100
meeting of two groups of people.
One who have been raised from
395
00:25:48,100 –> 00:25:49,900
the dead.
What do you have heard that?
396
00:25:49,900 –> 00:25:52,700
He’s raising the Dead.
Coming out with palm branches
397
00:25:52,700 –> 00:25:56,200
shouting, Hosanna blessed.
Is he who comes in the name of
398
00:25:56,200 –> 00:25:59,200
the Lord and Jesus?
Almost, ironically States,
399
00:25:59,200 –> 00:26:02,100
doesn’t hear you will not see me
again until you will say,
400
00:26:02,300 –> 00:26:06,000
hosanna blessed is he who comes
in the name of the Lord and John
401
00:26:06,100 –> 00:26:09,500
paints this picture.
As a lovely Cameo of these two
402
00:26:09,500 –> 00:26:12,600
companies, those have been
raised those who are alive and
403
00:26:12,600 –> 00:26:15,800
remain and they’re coming
together to meet the Lord with
404
00:26:15,800 –> 00:26:19,200
their palm branches, crying out,
Hosanna.
405
00:26:23,100 –> 00:26:25,600
And John beautifully, have that
quote is need from Zachariah
406
00:26:25,600 –> 00:26:28,200
nine.
Which goes on to say, by the
407
00:26:28,200 –> 00:26:31,100
way, that the Lord God will blow
the trumpets.
408
00:26:32,400 –> 00:26:37,800
And of course, it’s in Zachariah
where we meet and hear the voice
409
00:26:37,800 –> 00:26:40,900
of the archangel.
Well grunts.
410
00:26:40,900 –> 00:26:45,700
This is let’s end our session
there but let’s not be under any
411
00:26:45,700 –> 00:26:48,800
illusion about the power of the
word of the Lord, Jesus Christ,
412
00:26:48,800 –> 00:26:54,200
and their need to hear it.
Now, this shanked that is that
413
00:26:54,200 –> 00:26:56,400
it’s going to be made brand
sisters on the day of
414
00:26:56,400 –> 00:26:59,300
Resurrection, is one that is
being shouted by the Lord Jesus
415
00:26:59,300 –> 00:27:02,900
Christ every day and the
challenges, sometimes we play in
416
00:27:02,900 –> 00:27:06,300
the garden and and the voice
gets a bit dim, doesn’t it?
417
00:27:06,300 –> 00:27:09,600
And we and we wonder whether or
not we make it, I’ll do it
418
00:27:09,600 –> 00:27:11,300
later.
I’ll come in a minute.
419
00:27:11,300 –> 00:27:13,500
I was just finishing what I was
doing there.
420
00:27:13,500 –> 00:27:15,600
All the standard answers out
there when you call them in from
421
00:27:15,600 –> 00:27:17,400
the garden.
I was going to come.
422
00:27:17,400 –> 00:27:20,100
Oh, really?
When I don’t know later.
423
00:27:22,900 –> 00:27:26,800
The main viren sisters when we
hear the voice of the Lord Jesus
424
00:27:26,800 –> 00:27:29,500
Christ.
Speaking, we are quick.
425
00:27:30,500 –> 00:27:35,100
To hear that voice and to
respond because, you know,
426
00:27:35,100 –> 00:27:39,100
Frances is the waves and the
winds still know his name.
427
00:27:40,700 –> 00:27:45,200
The voice that could rebuked the
sea and drive out demons.
428
00:27:46,200 –> 00:27:50,300
That they still respond.
The wind and wave, haven’t lost
429
00:27:50,300 –> 00:27:53,100
their sense of the Grandeur of
the Lord Jesus Christ.
430
00:27:54,100 –> 00:27:58,000
The Nate we’re insisting on
daily as we listen to his word
431
00:27:58,000 –> 00:28:04,000
and read his word, we don’t lose
the set of Majesty of the lips
432
00:28:04,000 –> 00:28:09,100
from whom those words come.
So that one day that voice will
433
00:28:09,100 –> 00:28:13,400
penetrate you with the tools and
the dead in Christ will rise.
