1
00:00:01,360 –> 00:00:05,440
Thank you, brother Philip.
Good morning, my beloved brother
00:00:01,360 –> 00:00:05,440
Thank you, brother Philip.
Good morning, my beloved brother
2
00:00:05,440 –> 00:00:08,280
and sisters in the Lord Jesus
Christ.
3
00:00:09,600 –> 00:00:17,480
Follow his steps, and the more
we know how Jesus walked, the
4
00:00:17,480 –> 00:00:22,600
better we can follow his steps.
Remember we referred to that in
5
00:00:22,760 –> 00:00:27,120
one of our evening studies when
in Revelations, in the letter to
6
00:00:27,160 –> 00:00:31,440
the Elysians, Jesus says to him
that overcomers will I grant or
7
00:00:31,440 –> 00:00:37,920
sit with me in my throne, even
as I also overcame and then sat
8
00:00:37,920 –> 00:00:40,960
down with my Father in his
throne.
9
00:00:42,640 –> 00:00:46,120
We’ve looked during these
studies how we can use the
10
00:00:46,280 –> 00:00:51,360
Psalms for overcoming.
And in this last study, I’d like
11
00:00:51,360 –> 00:00:58,680
to look at a very inspiring
example of how Jesus overcame.
12
00:01:00,160 –> 00:01:04,480
And when we think of what Jesus
had to overcome, we may think of
13
00:01:04,480 –> 00:01:08,000
him, you know, avoiding being
tripped up by the Pharisees.
14
00:01:09,080 –> 00:01:12,520
We may think of him being
tempted in all things like we
15
00:01:12,520 –> 00:01:16,400
are.
We can think most of all how we
16
00:01:16,400 –> 00:01:21,560
overcame sin all in his life and
death on that awful cross.
17
00:01:22,920 –> 00:01:30,320
He suffered both mentally but
also physically and we need to
18
00:01:30,320 –> 00:01:36,160
understand especially how he
suffered physically if you are
19
00:01:36,160 –> 00:01:41,280
to be saved by his life.
See in in the gospels, if you
20
00:01:41,280 –> 00:01:54,200
turn to Matthew chapter 8 for
example, we see Jesus healing
21
00:01:54,200 –> 00:01:59,000
all sorts of people.
I’m sure you know the chapter
22
00:01:59,000 –> 00:02:01,680
well.
We don’t have to read it, but in
23
00:02:02,320 –> 00:02:08,320
verses yeah, from 2:00 to 4:00
we see him healing a leper, and
24
00:02:08,320 –> 00:02:15,280
in verses 5 to 13 he heals the
centurion servant, and in verses
25
00:02:15,280 –> 00:02:19,760
14 and 15 he heals Peter’s
mother-in-law.
26
00:02:20,920 –> 00:02:27,320
And in verse 16 we read that he
healed many and it paints an
27
00:02:27,360 –> 00:02:32,360
optimistic and an upbeat picture
of Jesus going round and doing
28
00:02:32,360 –> 00:02:38,960
good to all people.
But it says in verse 17 that it
29
00:02:38,960 –> 00:02:42,480
might be fulfilled, which was
spoken by Isaiah the prophet
30
00:02:42,480 –> 00:02:47,680
saying he himself took our
infirmities and bare our
31
00:02:47,680 –> 00:02:52,560
sicknesses.
Well, that refers back to our
32
00:02:52,560 –> 00:02:57,960
readings of Isaiah 53, which
with the Vince read, read for
33
00:02:57,960 –> 00:03:01,520
us.
If you go back to Isaiah chapter
34
00:03:01,520 –> 00:03:14,920
53, then if you will be able to
read it in in Hebrew, it’s much
35
00:03:14,920 –> 00:03:18,840
more powerful.
If you look at first 3, which
36
00:03:18,840 –> 00:03:22,480
says He is despised and rejected
of men and men of sorrows, and
37
00:03:22,480 –> 00:03:28,920
acquainted with grief, men of
sorrows and acquainted with
38
00:03:29,440 –> 00:03:35,800
grief, it says actually in the
Hebrew He is a man of pains and
39
00:03:35,800 –> 00:03:41,080
knowing sickness.
There’s a difference of being
40
00:03:41,080 –> 00:03:47,760
acquainted with as knowing about
as knowing in experiencing in
41
00:03:47,760 –> 00:03:52,880
your own body those diseases and
the pains of the people he
42
00:03:52,880 –> 00:03:57,960
heals.
And that is the true sense of
43
00:03:57,960 –> 00:04:02,640
fellowship, I believe, which we
sometimes confuse with
44
00:04:02,680 –> 00:04:06,080
membership.
Because to know Jesus in this
45
00:04:06,080 –> 00:04:10,160
way, as we hope to see in this
study, then we understand
46
00:04:10,160 –> 00:04:13,760
perhaps better what the apostle
Paul says about fellowship.
47
00:04:14,080 –> 00:04:19,680
That I may know Him, and the
power of his resurrection, and
48
00:04:19,680 –> 00:04:26,120
the fellowship of His sufferings
being made conformable unto His
49
00:04:26,120 –> 00:04:30,200
death.
The more we understand how He
50
00:04:30,200 –> 00:04:35,000
suffered, the better sense we
have what fellowship is all
51
00:04:35,000 –> 00:04:39,880
about, and how we can put
fellowship through fellowship
52
00:04:40,000 –> 00:04:44,840
into practice.
And then in first four of Isaiah
53
00:04:44,880 –> 00:04:50,600
chapter 53, it says He has borne
our Greece and carried our
54
00:04:50,600 –> 00:04:52,760
sorrows.
Again.
55
00:04:52,760 –> 00:04:58,160
It means that He has borne our
sicknesses and carried our
56
00:04:58,280 –> 00:05:02,160
pains.
And a verb to carry to bear
57
00:05:02,160 –> 00:05:08,480
means to to bear a load or to
carry away his diseases.
58
00:05:10,040 –> 00:05:14,200
Jesus did not make those
diseases just disappear as with
59
00:05:14,200 –> 00:05:18,760
a magic wound.
He took away those diseases of
60
00:05:18,760 –> 00:05:25,080
the people and He carried Him
himself in His own body, and in
61
00:05:25,280 –> 00:05:33,600
doing so He became I’ll himself.
In verse 4, the word stricken is
62
00:05:33,600 –> 00:05:38,880
the word for plagued, and that
word occurs 60 times in
63
00:05:38,880 –> 00:05:43,800
Leviticus chapters 13 and 14 and
it plainly speaks about the
64
00:05:43,800 –> 00:05:49,000
plague of leprosy in the
Gospels.
65
00:05:49,160 –> 00:05:54,920
We don’t read much what effect
that healing of other people had
66
00:05:54,920 –> 00:06:00,560
on Jesus himself.
There are two incidents recorded
67
00:06:00,840 –> 00:06:04,960
that gives us a little bit of an
insight of this nature.
68
00:06:04,960 –> 00:06:18,080
If you go to Luke chapter 6,
then we read in verse 17.
69
00:06:18,080 –> 00:06:27,280
And he came down with them, and
stood in the plane and the
70
00:06:27,280 –> 00:06:30,880
company of his disciples, and a
great multitude of people out of
71
00:06:30,880 –> 00:06:34,480
all Judea and Jerusalem, and
from the seacoast of Tyre and
72
00:06:34,480 –> 00:06:37,800
Sidon, which came to hear him
and to be healed of their
73
00:06:37,800 –> 00:06:40,480
diseases.
And they got to effects this
74
00:06:40,480 –> 00:06:42,560
unclean spirits, and they were
healed.
75
00:06:43,280 –> 00:06:47,120
And the whole multitude sought
to touch Him for the event
76
00:06:47,480 –> 00:06:52,160
virtue out of him and he healed
them all.
77
00:06:54,040 –> 00:07:00,560
And it’s phrase virtue went out
of him also occurs in Mark
78
00:07:00,560 –> 00:07:12,400
chapter 5.
And in Mark chapter 5 we know
79
00:07:13,400 –> 00:07:19,840
with this woman that’s had an
issue of blood for 12 years.
80
00:07:20,520 –> 00:07:23,640
And you know how she touched the
hem of his garment and was
81
00:07:24,080 –> 00:07:34,880
healed.
And how it says in verse 34 he
82
00:07:34,880 –> 00:07:41,120
said unto her, daughter, thy
faith has made the whole go in
83
00:07:41,280 –> 00:07:48,280
peace.
But Jesus in verse 30 had said
84
00:07:48,280 –> 00:07:53,800
He was immediately knowing in
Himself that virtue had gone out
85
00:07:53,800 –> 00:07:58,120
of him.
Now what does that mean?
86
00:07:58,200 –> 00:08:00,440
The woman was healed of her
plague.
87
00:08:00,920 –> 00:08:05,320
That means a whip or a skirts.
It was indeed a skirts.
88
00:08:05,320 –> 00:08:09,800
For this woman to have been
bleeding for 12 years, probably
89
00:08:09,800 –> 00:08:15,800
since she had given birth to her
daughter, was now dying, and
90
00:08:15,800 –> 00:08:22,840
only women can fully understand
what devastating effect that
91
00:08:22,880 –> 00:08:26,600
constant bleeding must have had
on her body.
92
00:08:27,320 –> 00:08:32,120
And on top of that plague which
she hadn’t caused, it just
93
00:08:32,559 –> 00:08:37,039
happened to her, she was
condemned by the law as unclean
94
00:08:38,559 –> 00:08:41,200
and she was separated by she’s
husband who was the rule of the
95
00:08:41,200 –> 00:08:44,200
synagogue where he couldn’t be
contaminated by a woman who was
96
00:08:44,280 –> 00:08:48,640
all the time unclean, was
separated from her husband.
97
00:08:50,960 –> 00:08:54,960
And the glads for the healing
process because then that woman
98
00:08:54,960 –> 00:08:57,640
was united with her husband and
with her daughter.
99
00:08:58,120 –> 00:09:01,720
But it may be misleading to
think that.
100
00:09:02,440 –> 00:09:05,000
But it says virtue went out of
him.
101
00:09:05,640 –> 00:09:08,640
That Jesus was being very
virtuous, though he healed that
102
00:09:08,640 –> 00:09:10,840
woman and united the family is
wonderful.
103
00:09:11,400 –> 00:09:14,200
But it says something else.
In the Greek, the word for
104
00:09:14,280 –> 00:09:20,520
virtue is dunamis.
That means strength or power.
105
00:09:21,440 –> 00:09:27,600
And he must have felt that
strength left him when he was
106
00:09:27,720 –> 00:09:33,040
healing that woman, and all the
other people strengthened out of
107
00:09:33,040 –> 00:09:38,720
him while he was healing that
woman, He became weaker himself
108
00:09:39,680 –> 00:09:43,720
because he took upon himself the
devastating result of that
109
00:09:43,880 –> 00:09:46,680
disease that was slowly killing
that woman.
110
00:09:48,400 –> 00:09:51,080
Jesus, more than anybody else,
would have known where all
111
00:09:51,080 –> 00:09:55,920
diseases came from.
And in this case of that woman
112
00:09:55,920 –> 00:09:59,280
that began bleeding at
childbirth, Jesus must have
113
00:09:59,280 –> 00:10:04,520
thought back of the Garden of
Eden, where let’s go to Genesis
114
00:10:04,520 –> 00:10:11,120
chapter 3 and 16.
The result of sin for the woman
115
00:10:14,320 –> 00:10:21,640
is in verse 16.
I will greatly multiply not thy
116
00:10:21,640 –> 00:10:24,600
sorrow.
It says thy pain.
117
00:10:25,400 –> 00:10:29,560
It is painful to give birth to
children for women.
118
00:10:29,560 –> 00:10:32,360
I was present at the birth of
all my children.
119
00:10:33,720 –> 00:10:37,480
I will greatly multiply thy pain
and thy conception.
120
00:10:37,480 –> 00:10:41,800
In pain thou shalt bring forth
children, and thy desire shall
121
00:10:41,800 –> 00:10:44,080
be to thy husband, and he shall
rule over thee.
122
00:10:44,400 –> 00:10:48,480
And his punishment was the
immediate result of sin, which
123
00:10:48,520 –> 00:10:52,840
eventually led to Eve’s death.
And these must have seen all
124
00:10:52,840 –> 00:10:56,680
this portrayed in that woman who
had touched the hem of his
125
00:10:56,680 –> 00:11:02,000
garment.
But by touching that garment,
126
00:11:02,760 –> 00:11:07,160
that desperate woman expressed
her faith in the Scriptures.
127
00:11:07,160 –> 00:11:20,240
Go to Numbers chapter 15,
Numbers 15, starting at verse
128
00:11:20,240 –> 00:11:27,520
38, when Yahweh was speaking to
Moses, saying, Speak unto the
129
00:11:27,520 –> 00:11:31,480
children of Israel and bitten,
that they make them fringes in
130
00:11:31,480 –> 00:11:34,320
the borders of their garments
throughout their generations,
131
00:11:34,680 –> 00:11:41,160
that they put upon the fringe of
the borders ribbons of blue, and
132
00:11:41,160 –> 00:11:45,080
shall be unto you for a fringe,
that you may look upon it.
133
00:11:46,160 –> 00:11:49,720
And remember all the
commandments of the hour, and do
134
00:11:49,720 –> 00:11:53,960
them, and that you seek not
after your own heart and your
135
00:11:53,960 –> 00:11:58,560
own eyes, after which you used
to go for whoring, that you may
136
00:11:58,560 –> 00:12:03,720
remember.
And do all my commandments and
137
00:12:03,720 –> 00:12:10,040
be holy unto your alvine.
I am Yahweh, your Alvine that’s
138
00:12:10,040 –> 00:12:13,560
brought you out of the land of
Egypt to be your alvine.
139
00:12:13,800 –> 00:12:21,280
I am Yahweh your Halloween.
Unlike Eve, this woman
140
00:12:21,400 –> 00:12:26,800
desperately wanted to be holy
and do all God’s commandments,
141
00:12:27,480 –> 00:12:31,400
but she was prevented from doing
it by her condition.
142
00:12:34,120 –> 00:12:37,800
We often read that Jesus was
filled with compassion when he
143
00:12:37,800 –> 00:12:43,080
saw mankind’s suffering, which
he knew was the result of sin.
144
00:12:44,520 –> 00:12:50,080
Jesus said empathy, which means
entering into and sharing
145
00:12:50,080 –> 00:12:53,960
somebody’s misfortune.
And Jesus didn’t to such an
146
00:12:53,960 –> 00:12:57,920
extent that by taking away their
diseases, he became I’ll
147
00:12:57,920 –> 00:13:02,080
himself.
We don’t read much about it in
148
00:13:02,080 –> 00:13:05,360
the Gospels, but you do in the
sounds.
149
00:13:06,320 –> 00:13:11,480
The sounds reveal the mind of
the suffering Christ.
150
00:13:12,520 –> 00:13:16,560
And more than any of the Psalm
in this context that tells us
151
00:13:16,560 –> 00:13:21,640
what Jesus physically went
through is Psalm 38.
152
00:13:30,880 –> 00:13:34,440
We’ve got to spend some time in
this Psalm.
153
00:13:36,600 –> 00:13:40,840
It is undoubtedly a messianic
Psalm, although I believe that
154
00:13:40,840 –> 00:13:46,080
all psalms are messianic.
But first eleven makes it very
155
00:13:46,080 –> 00:13:48,320
clear.
It’s as my lovers and my friends
156
00:13:48,320 –> 00:13:52,720
stand aloof from my soul and my
kinsmen stand afar off.
157
00:13:53,520 –> 00:13:59,480
I remember Peter denied Jesus
and but yet followed him afar
158
00:13:59,480 –> 00:14:03,120
off.
Peter followed him afar off and
159
00:14:03,120 –> 00:14:06,360
to the high priest palace.
And he went in and set as the
160
00:14:06,360 –> 00:14:09,800
servant to see the end.
Oh, he was there, but not next
161
00:14:09,800 –> 00:14:12,040
to Jesus.
He was far off.
162
00:14:13,280 –> 00:14:16,400
And when Jesus hung on the
cross, we made in in the Gospels
163
00:14:16,400 –> 00:14:21,640
that all his acquaintance and
the women that followed him from
164
00:14:21,640 –> 00:14:28,080
Galilee stood afar off beholding
these things.
165
00:14:29,760 –> 00:14:33,440
But the title of the Psalm is
the Psalm of David, or the best
166
00:14:33,440 –> 00:14:37,640
food for the beloved to bring to
remembrance.
167
00:14:39,000 –> 00:14:42,720
And the contents of the Psalm
appears to indicate that Jesus
168
00:14:42,720 –> 00:14:47,520
wanted God to remember the
frailty of the flesh which he
169
00:14:47,520 –> 00:14:53,200
experienced in himself, as in
the next time, for example, 39
170
00:14:53,200 –> 00:14:57,160
in verse 4, it’s yeah, I will
make it to know my end and the
171
00:14:57,160 –> 00:15:01,880
measure of my days, what it is
that I may know how frail I am.
172
00:15:03,000 –> 00:15:06,040
And the more he took on the
diseases of the people and
173
00:15:06,040 –> 00:15:10,040
feeling it in himself, the
frailer he became.
174
00:15:10,040 –> 00:15:15,920
And he wanted God to remember
this for our sakes.
175
00:15:17,640 –> 00:15:23,600
So let’s then look at this sound
it says in verse one, Yahweh
176
00:15:23,600 –> 00:15:27,840
rebuked me not in thy wrath,
neither chastened me in thy hot
177
00:15:27,840 –> 00:15:32,240
displeasure.
And Jesus physically Mr. felt
178
00:15:32,240 –> 00:15:36,000
the wrath of God and his hot
displeasure with sin when he
179
00:15:36,280 –> 00:15:40,120
took on himself the pains and
the sicknesses of us.
180
00:15:40,120 –> 00:15:46,680
All that were chastened also
occurs in Second Samuel Chapter
181
00:15:46,680 –> 00:15:49,040
7.
And David gave the beautiful
182
00:15:49,040 –> 00:15:52,400
promise of his Son.
You come back to that later on.
183
00:15:54,000 –> 00:16:00,160
And in verse 2 it says thine
arrows stick fast in me, and thy
184
00:16:00,160 –> 00:16:05,440
hand presses me sore.
But keep coming back to Psalm
185
00:16:05,440 –> 00:16:07,960
38.
But in Psalm 64
186
00:16:20,400 –> 00:16:24,880
we read this to hinder the
overcomers, the best fruits for
187
00:16:24,880 –> 00:16:27,760
their beloved.
Hear my voice, Ellen, in my
188
00:16:27,800 –> 00:16:30,360
prayer.
Preserve my life from fear of
189
00:16:30,360 –> 00:16:32,800
the enemy.
Hide me from the secret counsel
190
00:16:32,800 –> 00:16:35,400
of the wicked, from the
insurrection of the workers of
191
00:16:35,400 –> 00:16:40,360
iniquity, who wet their tongues
like a sword and bend their bows
192
00:16:40,360 –> 00:16:45,600
to shoot arrows.
Bitter words that they may shoot
193
00:16:45,600 –> 00:16:48,840
in secret at the perfect,
suddenly that they shoot at him,
194
00:16:49,320 –> 00:16:52,320
and fear not.
And Jesus had many of those
195
00:16:52,400 –> 00:16:57,240
arrows pointed at him.
The book of Job was to be in
196
00:16:57,240 –> 00:17:00,000
such a comfort to Jesus in his
suffering.
197
00:17:00,600 –> 00:17:04,720
It says in chapter 6 of Job, Oh,
that my grief was thoroughly
198
00:17:04,720 –> 00:17:07,560
weighed, and my calamity laid in
the balances together.
199
00:17:08,040 –> 00:17:10,560
For that will be heavier than
the scent of the sea.
200
00:17:10,960 –> 00:17:14,359
Therefore my words are swallowed
up, For the errors of the
201
00:17:14,400 –> 00:17:18,440
Almighty are within me, the
poison thereof drinks of my
202
00:17:18,440 –> 00:17:22,160
spirit, the terrors of Elanine,
who set themselves in a ray
203
00:17:22,560 –> 00:17:27,960
against me.
And now Psalm 38, the
204
00:17:27,960 –> 00:17:32,200
second-half of the verse which
you read, said, Die hand presses
205
00:17:32,200 –> 00:17:35,360
me sword.
And although the words of Job’s
206
00:17:35,360 –> 00:17:39,480
so-called friends hurt him very
much, he knew, as he says in
207
00:17:39,480 –> 00:17:43,720
chapter 19, the hand of God has
touched me.
208
00:17:44,240 –> 00:17:50,400
God’s hand was heavy on Joe and
also on Jesus.
209
00:17:50,800 –> 00:17:58,320
You go to Psalm 17.
We read there in verses 313 to
210
00:17:58,320 –> 00:18:07,340
14.
It says, arise.
211
00:18:07,340 –> 00:18:12,480
I would disappoint him, cast him
down, deliver my soul from the
212
00:18:12,480 –> 00:18:20,240
wicked which thy sword from the
men which I die handy hour from
213
00:18:20,240 –> 00:18:23,800
men of the world who have their
portion in this life, and who
214
00:18:24,000 –> 00:18:28,040
belly thou fill as we take
treasures and so on, and go back
215
00:18:28,040 –> 00:18:33,360
to our Psalm 38.
We read then there’s no
216
00:18:33,360 –> 00:18:40,440
soundness in my flesh and it’s
physical and also mental
217
00:18:40,440 –> 00:18:44,560
suffering made him look old
beyond his years.
218
00:18:45,200 –> 00:18:51,200
It says in John now not yet 50
years old, he’s only 30 and he
219
00:18:51,200 –> 00:18:59,760
looked like an old 50 year old.
And then it says in verse 4, for
220
00:18:59,760 –> 00:19:03,800
my iniquities I’ve gone over my
head.
221
00:19:05,280 –> 00:19:09,040
So unlike David, the author of
the Psalm, Jesus has never
222
00:19:09,040 –> 00:19:12,760
committed iniquity.
But like other great men in
223
00:19:12,760 –> 00:19:19,200
Scriptures as Moses and Daniel
and Nehemiah, he took on himself
224
00:19:19,600 –> 00:19:25,480
the sins of the people.
And then in verse 5 we read my
225
00:19:25,480 –> 00:19:31,480
wounds stink and I corrupt says
in Hebrew my wounds are stinking
226
00:19:31,480 –> 00:19:37,960
and rotting.
And then it says in verse 6, I
227
00:19:37,960 –> 00:19:43,640
am troubled.
If you look in your margin, it
228
00:19:43,640 –> 00:19:46,760
says for the word troubled,
right?
229
00:19:46,760 –> 00:19:55,720
And that’s a true meaning.
That means crooked, not crooked
230
00:19:55,800 –> 00:19:58,080
in the New Zealand centre.
You’re sick now.
231
00:19:58,280 –> 00:20:00,440
Crooked in the sense of
Ecclesiastes.
232
00:20:00,840 –> 00:20:05,440
That which is crooked cannot be
made straight, and that which is
233
00:20:05,440 –> 00:20:10,040
wanting cannot be numbered.
Ecclesiastes 7 and 13.
234
00:20:10,320 –> 00:20:15,440
Consider the work of Alvin, who
can make straight which he had
235
00:20:15,440 –> 00:20:20,320
made crooked.
Unless the word Jesus says I am
236
00:20:20,720 –> 00:20:26,760
crooked, I don’t understand the
meaning behind His word.
237
00:20:27,320 –> 00:20:33,800
We need to go back to Second
Samuel Chapter 7 where the very
238
00:20:33,800 –> 00:20:38,600
same words or derivation of it
is used.
239
00:20:47,400 –> 00:20:49,600
Read about this wonderful
promise in verse 12.
240
00:20:49,600 –> 00:20:52,520
And thy days be fulfilled, and
thou shalt sleep as thy fathers
241
00:20:52,520 –> 00:20:57,280
our set up thy seed after thee.
Speaking about the Lord Jesus
242
00:20:57,280 –> 00:21:00,000
Christ, we shall proceed.
Arrow thy battles, and I’ll
243
00:21:00,000 –> 00:21:02,720
establish His Kingdom.
He shall build an house for my
244
00:21:02,720 –> 00:21:04,680
name.
I’ll establish the throne of His
245
00:21:04,680 –> 00:21:07,880
Kingdom forever.
I will be His Father, and He
246
00:21:07,880 –> 00:21:11,360
shall be my Son.
But let me read.
247
00:21:11,760 –> 00:21:15,920
If he commit iniquity, I’ll
chasten him.
248
00:21:15,920 –> 00:21:20,080
Is the God of men, and is the
tribes of the children of men.
249
00:21:22,160 –> 00:21:24,400
Now Jesus certainly was
chastened, wasn’t he?
250
00:21:25,600 –> 00:21:31,440
But he never committed iniquity.
So this phrase, if he commit
251
00:21:31,440 –> 00:21:34,440
iniquity would only refer to
Solomon.
252
00:21:35,320 –> 00:21:40,240
But you know this applies to
Jesus and it doesn’t say commit
253
00:21:40,800 –> 00:21:45,040
iniquity.
It’s that same word as in Psalm
254
00:21:45,240 –> 00:21:52,080
38 verse 6, which is crooked.
It means in this context, if not
255
00:21:52,080 –> 00:21:57,880
if he committed iniquity, but
being in his iniquity or being
256
00:21:57,880 –> 00:22:02,440
crooked.
See, Jesus bore our nature.
257
00:22:04,000 –> 00:22:09,200
Our nature is crooked, our
nature is iniquities.
258
00:22:10,320 –> 00:22:13,320
And that’s the nature which
Jesus also bore.
259
00:22:13,320 –> 00:22:17,160
And therefore He also had to be
chastened with the rod of men.
260
00:22:17,680 –> 00:22:20,880
It says in Hebrews, who in the
days of His flesh that He had
261
00:22:20,880 –> 00:22:23,840
offered prayers and
supplications with strong crying
262
00:22:23,840 –> 00:22:27,920
and tears, and Him that was able
to save Him from death, and was
263
00:22:27,920 –> 00:22:31,000
hurt in that He feared, though
He were a Son.
264
00:22:31,720 –> 00:22:35,080
He had learned to obedience by
the things which He suffered.
265
00:22:35,920 –> 00:22:39,480
He had to suffer in order to
learn obedience, but He never
266
00:22:39,480 –> 00:22:43,480
committed to niquity, but He had
to learn that because He had our
267
00:22:43,480 –> 00:22:49,400
nature.
So He can only learn obedience
268
00:22:49,520 –> 00:22:55,040
and become an example for us to
imitate, to follow His steps, if
269
00:22:55,040 –> 00:22:58,920
He had our nature, which He did.
And according to the words of
270
00:22:58,920 –> 00:23:03,000
Psalm 38, He bore the full brunt
of it.
271
00:23:04,480 –> 00:23:10,800
It says, I bow down greatly.
I go mourning all the day long.
272
00:23:12,400 –> 00:23:15,560
Like it said in Psalm 42.
The Psalm is full.
273
00:23:16,160 –> 00:23:19,040
All the Psalms are full of the
suffering of Christ.
274
00:23:19,520 –> 00:23:30,640
Look at Psalm 42 and verse 9.
I will say unto Alvin, my rock,
275
00:23:31,440 –> 00:23:34,440
Why has thou forgotten me?
Why go?
276
00:23:34,440 –> 00:23:38,240
I’m mourning because of the
oppression of the enemy as it is
277
00:23:38,240 –> 00:23:41,960
soared to my bones.
My enemies reproach me while
278
00:23:41,960 –> 00:23:44,960
they say Dalian to me.
Where is thy Elovene?
279
00:23:45,920 –> 00:23:50,360
Why art thou cast down my soul,
and why art thou disquieted
280
00:23:50,360 –> 00:23:53,120
within me?
Hope thou in Elovene, for I
281
00:23:53,120 –> 00:23:57,880
shall yet praise him who’s the
health of my countenance and my
282
00:23:57,960 –> 00:24:02,760
Elovene.
And going back to our Psalm 38,
283
00:24:04,880 –> 00:24:13,880
it says in verse 7, my loins I
filled with a loathsome disease.
284
00:24:16,080 –> 00:24:21,280
And I can only think back of
that woman who was bleeding for
285
00:24:21,280 –> 00:24:25,840
12 years.
She had a loathsome disease in
286
00:24:25,840 –> 00:24:32,200
her bowels.
And Jesus felt that husbands
287
00:24:32,200 –> 00:24:35,520
understand what women go
through, especially at
288
00:24:35,520 –> 00:24:39,640
childbirth.
Women talk about themselves and
289
00:24:39,640 –> 00:24:44,000
they understand these things.
And men are different.
290
00:24:44,320 –> 00:24:47,600
It’s easier for men to relate to
a Jesus who said to the
291
00:24:47,600 –> 00:24:52,560
Pharisees, you, you hypocrites
and generational Vipers, there’s
292
00:24:52,560 –> 00:24:54,720
a man that we rather can relate
to.
293
00:24:54,840 –> 00:24:57,920
You know, you feel the righteous
anger belling up and you said
294
00:24:57,920 –> 00:25:03,760
you, you want to tell them off.
But but Jesus, he felt he was a
295
00:25:04,080 –> 00:25:08,000
man.
He wasn’t even a husband, but he
296
00:25:08,000 –> 00:25:12,440
felt that what what woman was
going through in his own body.
297
00:25:12,760 –> 00:25:19,200
My loins are filled with a
loathsome disease, and that
298
00:25:19,200 –> 00:25:23,840
shows us what Jesus felt.
Virtue went out of him.
299
00:25:24,200 –> 00:25:28,680
Strength left him.
He felt the pain of that woman
300
00:25:28,680 –> 00:25:32,320
in his own insight.
That is empathy, Brothers and
301
00:25:32,320 –> 00:25:38,000
sisters, that is the truth
fellowship of the suffering of
302
00:25:38,000 –> 00:25:45,880
Christ and ever we understand
perhaps better that next verse
303
00:25:45,880 –> 00:25:50,320
verse 8.
I’m feeble and sore broken.
304
00:25:51,040 –> 00:25:56,240
I’ve roared by reason of the
disquietness of my heart.
305
00:25:58,440 –> 00:26:03,840
That’s what he felt when he saw
suffering mankind and feeling,
306
00:26:03,840 –> 00:26:09,040
experiencing, knowing in himself
the suffering of the people.
307
00:26:10,760 –> 00:26:13,880
It didn’t turn him away from
God.
308
00:26:14,600 –> 00:26:19,920
It was a Psalm of remembrance to
make God remember what is the
309
00:26:19,920 –> 00:26:22,960
result of sin.
And He was his Son, suffering
310
00:26:22,960 –> 00:26:27,800
all the things that humankind
suffers from experience in
311
00:26:27,800 –> 00:26:30,600
himself, and he would never send
himself.
312
00:26:32,200 –> 00:26:36,240
It says, Lord, all my desires
before Thee, and my groaning is
313
00:26:36,240 –> 00:26:42,120
not hit from Thee.
So in his agony, his groanings,
314
00:26:42,200 –> 00:26:46,960
he was groaning all the nights,
praying those sounds.
315
00:26:47,240 –> 00:26:50,120
He spent all night in the prayer
of God.
316
00:26:51,040 –> 00:26:54,080
What better way to pray than
with the sounds which had been
317
00:26:54,080 –> 00:26:58,240
prepared for Him to be used in
precisely such circumstances?
318
00:26:58,520 –> 00:27:03,360
He could never to compose a
prayer like this that has been
319
00:27:03,400 –> 00:27:07,040
prepared to us.
In Psalm 22, when He was hanging
320
00:27:07,040 –> 00:27:10,880
on the cross, he speaks of the
words of my roaring.
321
00:27:12,200 –> 00:27:17,720
He was crying out those prayers
to God, but his only desire was
322
00:27:17,720 –> 00:27:20,800
to be with God through the words
of this powerful prayer.
323
00:27:21,720 –> 00:27:26,000
When we are in difficulties, as
we often are physically or
324
00:27:26,000 –> 00:27:30,840
mentally, it would be good to
focus our desire on on God as
325
00:27:30,840 –> 00:27:35,000
David did in Psalm 27.
One thing if I desire that will
326
00:27:35,000 –> 00:27:38,560
I seek after that I may dwell in
the House of Yahweh all the days
327
00:27:38,560 –> 00:27:42,960
of my life, and to behold the
beauty of Yahweh and to inquire
328
00:27:43,280 –> 00:27:48,000
in His temple.
Psalm 16, it says, I said Yahweh
329
00:27:48,000 –> 00:27:52,760
always before me, because He’s
on my right hand, I shall not be
330
00:27:52,760 –> 00:27:55,400
moved.
It was the only strength Jesus
331
00:27:55,400 –> 00:27:59,400
had to go through this valley of
sorrows.
332
00:28:00,320 –> 00:28:06,000
And if you continue reading the
sound, you get as well a list of
333
00:28:06,000 –> 00:28:12,120
all the diseases which He had
healed and took upon Himself.
334
00:28:13,720 –> 00:28:19,800
He said in verse 10, My strength
fails me.
335
00:28:20,320 –> 00:28:23,960
He felt that that strength went
out of Him when he healed all
336
00:28:23,960 –> 00:28:26,720
those people and that woman that
was bleeding.
337
00:28:28,240 –> 00:28:34,680
And then it says the light of my
eyes, it is also gone from me.
338
00:28:35,160 –> 00:28:43,320
And we think of how Jesus healed
that blind man in John Chapter
339
00:28:43,320 –> 00:28:46,800
9, which says he’s pat on the
ground and he made a face and
340
00:28:46,800 –> 00:28:48,400
put in the eyes.
He said he made to be healed.
341
00:28:48,960 –> 00:28:55,440
It was it a little on the ground
to make a lot of paste.
342
00:28:55,440 –> 00:29:00,520
He must have scraped his throat
up and then bend down into the
343
00:29:00,520 –> 00:29:04,360
soil, knee that soil in his
hand.
344
00:29:04,360 –> 00:29:08,880
His hand got dirty with the clay
and physically put it on the
345
00:29:09,040 –> 00:29:17,400
eyes of that man.
That is hands on healing and it
346
00:29:17,400 –> 00:29:21,640
says the light of my eyes.
It is also gone from me.
347
00:29:22,160 –> 00:29:26,000
I’m not saying that Jesus
actually became blind, but He so
348
00:29:26,000 –> 00:29:30,600
much entered into the soul of
that blind man that He felt the
349
00:29:30,600 –> 00:29:36,840
blindness himself.
The light of my eyes, it also is
350
00:29:36,880 –> 00:29:41,720
gone from me.
And then verse 12, they also get
351
00:29:41,720 –> 00:29:44,240
sick after my life lay snares
for me.
352
00:29:45,680 –> 00:29:47,360
That’s the mental suffering of
Christ.
353
00:29:47,400 –> 00:29:50,200
And we can only imagine Jesus
pouring out his soul to God
354
00:29:50,200 –> 00:29:53,520
after the many times that the
Pharisees and the scribes and
355
00:29:53,520 –> 00:29:56,680
the Jews tried to lay snares for
him and trap him for the things
356
00:29:56,680 –> 00:30:00,920
which he said.
And the final Test came when he
357
00:30:00,920 –> 00:30:04,200
stood before the chief priest.
If you go to Mark chapter 14,
358
00:30:13,780 –> 00:30:24,000
read the verse 55 and the chief
priest said all the council
359
00:30:24,440 –> 00:30:29,120
sought for witness against Jesus
to put him to death and found
360
00:30:29,120 –> 00:30:32,840
none for many bear false witness
against him.
361
00:30:32,840 –> 00:30:36,480
But the witnesses agreed not
together and there arose certain
362
00:30:36,480 –> 00:30:39,520
and bear false witness against
him, saying we’ve heard him say
363
00:30:39,520 –> 00:30:42,600
I will destroy this temple that
is made with hands.
364
00:30:42,600 –> 00:30:45,600
I mean, in three days I’ll build
another made without hands.
365
00:30:45,800 –> 00:30:49,640
But neither so did the witness
agree together.
366
00:30:49,720 –> 00:30:52,200
An high priest stood up in the
midst, and as Jesus answers
367
00:30:52,200 –> 00:30:54,000
there nothing.
What is it?
368
00:30:54,000 –> 00:30:58,920
What these witness against thee?
But in this difficult situation,
369
00:30:58,920 –> 00:31:03,760
being falsely accused, He held
his peace and answered nothing.
370
00:31:03,760 –> 00:31:06,120
You know what it says in the
sun.
371
00:31:06,720 –> 00:31:11,120
Verse 13.
But I said deaf men heard not,
372
00:31:11,640 –> 00:31:18,160
and I said dumb men that open is
not his mouth and escorted the
373
00:31:18,160 –> 00:31:20,240
context.
And these didn’t reply to the
374
00:31:20,240 –> 00:31:25,400
high priest and later to Pilate.
But it also may indicate that in
375
00:31:26,120 –> 00:31:30,560
the healing of many people and
dumb people, Jesus became, as it
376
00:31:30,560 –> 00:31:34,120
were deaf and dumb himself.
Look at Mark Chapter 7,
377
00:31:45,650 –> 00:31:50,800
verse 31 again, departed from
the coast of Tyre inside, and he
378
00:31:50,800 –> 00:31:54,200
came into the sea, onto the Sea
of Galilee, to the midst of the
379
00:31:54,240 –> 00:31:56,360
coast of the Kaplis.
And they bring with him one that
380
00:31:56,360 –> 00:31:58,880
was death.
They had an impediment in his
381
00:31:58,880 –> 00:32:01,760
speech, and they beseech him to
put his hand upon him.
382
00:32:01,760 –> 00:32:04,720
And they took him a stomach from
the multitude and put his
383
00:32:04,720 –> 00:32:07,120
fingers into his ears.
And he split and touched his
384
00:32:07,120 –> 00:32:11,160
tongue and looked up to heaven
east side and said to him, Be
385
00:32:11,160 –> 00:32:14,600
Fatah, that is be opened the
straight face.
386
00:32:14,600 –> 00:32:18,440
His ears were opened and the
string of his tongue was loosed.
387
00:32:18,440 –> 00:32:22,800
And he spake, he spake plain, he
spake straight.
388
00:32:23,880 –> 00:32:26,880
And he charged them that they
should tell no man that the more
389
00:32:26,880 –> 00:32:30,760
he charged them, so much the
more a great deal they published
390
00:32:30,760 –> 00:32:32,720
it.
And we’re beyond measure stoned,
391
00:32:32,720 –> 00:32:34,320
saying he’s done all things
well.
392
00:32:34,520 –> 00:32:37,520
He makes both the deaf to hear
and the dumb to speak.
393
00:32:38,080 –> 00:32:41,240
Again.
It is a hands on healing.
394
00:32:41,920 –> 00:32:45,080
It wasn’t a picture of
benevolent Jesus as she depicts
395
00:32:45,080 –> 00:32:49,240
us from Oh my son, be thou
healed of thy diseases or like
396
00:32:49,240 –> 00:32:53,160
the Pope says, no, my daughter
or this now he stuck his fingers
397
00:32:53,160 –> 00:32:59,120
in in into his ears.
He touched the tongue after dumb
398
00:32:59,440 –> 00:33:03,000
as if he wanted to feel with his
own hands what it means to be
399
00:33:03,000 –> 00:33:07,960
deaf, that he touched the tongue
to know what this feels like to
400
00:33:07,960 –> 00:33:13,200
be dumb.
And that’s what the Psalm says I
401
00:33:13,200 –> 00:33:18,680
am a deaf man heard not as a
dumb man who opened not his
402
00:33:18,680 –> 00:33:22,760
mouth.
And then in verse 14 of the
403
00:33:22,760 –> 00:33:26,760
Psalm he says does I was as a
man that he was not, and in his
404
00:33:26,760 –> 00:33:32,640
mouth was no reproof.
And of course we can read all
405
00:33:32,640 –> 00:33:36,200
that in the Gospels.
Look at the Mark, Matthew
406
00:33:36,200 –> 00:33:53,070
chapter 12.
So the Pharisees went out and
407
00:33:53,070 –> 00:33:56,110
held a council against him, how
they might destroy him.
408
00:33:56,830 –> 00:33:59,350
But when Jesus knew it, he
withdrew himself from thence,
409
00:33:59,350 –> 00:34:04,680
and great multitudes followed
him, and he healed them all, and
410
00:34:04,680 –> 00:34:07,760
charge him that they should not
make him known that it might be
411
00:34:07,760 –> 00:34:10,000
fulfilled.
It was spoken by Isaiah as the
412
00:34:10,000 –> 00:34:13,520
prophet saying, Behold my
servant whom I have chosen, my
413
00:34:13,520 –> 00:34:17,239
beloved, in whom my soul is well
pleased, I will put my spirit
414
00:34:17,239 –> 00:34:20,840
upon him, and he shall show
judgment to the Gentiles.
415
00:34:21,679 –> 00:34:25,440
He shall not strive nor cry, nor
shall any man hear his voice in
416
00:34:25,440 –> 00:34:27,880
the street.
A bruised wreath shall he not
417
00:34:27,880 –> 00:34:32,159
break, A smoking flag shall he
not glance till He sent forth
418
00:34:32,360 –> 00:34:36,800
judgment unto victory?
It doesn’t mean to say that
419
00:34:36,800 –> 00:34:40,679
Jesus will never open His mouth
in judgement.
420
00:34:41,639 –> 00:34:45,639
He will do so when the time
comes because you go to John
421
00:34:45,639 –> 00:34:50,280
Chapter 9, that chapter when He
healed that blind man.
422
00:34:53,360 –> 00:34:57,960
He says at the end of the
chapter in verse 39 for
423
00:34:58,080 –> 00:35:02,000
judgement.
I am coming into this world that
424
00:35:02,000 –> 00:35:07,920
they would see not might see,
and they would see might be made
425
00:35:07,920 –> 00:35:10,640
blind.
And some of the Pharisees which
426
00:35:10,640 –> 00:35:13,400
were with him heard his words,
and suddenly say, Are we blind
427
00:35:13,400 –> 00:35:17,200
also?
And Jesus said unto them, If you
428
00:35:17,200 –> 00:35:19,720
were blind, you should have no
sin.
429
00:35:20,280 –> 00:35:26,000
But now you say, we see,
therefore your sin remains.
430
00:35:28,800 –> 00:35:35,280
And then you know, Psalm verse
15 again he pours out his soul
431
00:35:35,280 –> 00:35:41,400
unto God, and for in thee Yahweh
do I hope thou wilt answer
432
00:35:41,880 –> 00:35:48,000
Yahweh, Lord my God.
And he believed that God would
433
00:35:48,200 –> 00:35:52,800
answer him at the right time.
But we continue with our list of
434
00:35:52,800 –> 00:35:58,120
the diseases which Jesus healed.
He says it verse 16 For I said,
435
00:35:58,640 –> 00:36:03,720
lest they should rejoice over me
when my foot slippers they
436
00:36:03,720 –> 00:36:08,680
magnify themselves against me,
for I’m ready to hold and my
437
00:36:08,680 –> 00:36:15,840
sorrow is continually be for me.
Similar verses in is in verse
438
00:36:15,840 –> 00:36:34,300
Psalm 35 in Psalm 35 in verse
15, but in my adversity looking
439
00:36:34,300 –> 00:36:37,560
at margin it’s just in my
halting.
440
00:36:39,640 –> 00:36:43,280
They rejoiced and gathered
themselves together.
441
00:36:43,720 –> 00:36:46,440
They the abjects gathered
themselves together against me
442
00:36:46,440 –> 00:36:54,600
and I knew it not they did tear
and seize not did you go to
443
00:36:54,880 –> 00:36:58,920
Psalm 35 If you stay there.
Our individuals read this Sorry.
444
00:36:59,320 –> 00:37:06,520
Jesus knew what a disability of
halting meant, for He had healed
445
00:37:06,520 –> 00:37:09,920
people that were lame.
Remember, during the capture of
446
00:37:10,160 –> 00:37:15,440
Jebus, David spoke of the lame
and the blind that I hated of
447
00:37:15,440 –> 00:37:18,200
David’s soul.
They were taunting him was the
448
00:37:18,200 –> 00:37:21,920
blind and the lame.
I’m sure that David did not hate
449
00:37:21,920 –> 00:37:28,120
people that were blind and lame,
but blindness and lameness.
450
00:37:29,000 –> 00:37:32,880
And Jesus also hated it and
therefore he had the power to
451
00:37:33,400 –> 00:37:37,960
heal it.
And then in verse 18 of our
452
00:37:37,960 –> 00:37:46,400
Psalm, it says, for I will
declare my iniquity, I’ll be
453
00:37:46,400 –> 00:37:50,880
sorry for my sin.
So again, he’s never committed
454
00:37:50,880 –> 00:37:56,280
iniquity, but he had our
iniquitous nature for God that
455
00:37:56,280 –> 00:38:02,880
made him sin for us who knew no
sin, that we may be made the
456
00:38:02,880 –> 00:38:08,680
righteousness of God in him.
And so at the end of praying
457
00:38:08,680 –> 00:38:15,360
this Psalm, he says in verse 21
and 22, forsake me not Yahweh,
458
00:38:16,040 –> 00:38:21,640
my heaven, be not far from me.
Make haste to help me, O Lord,
459
00:38:22,120 –> 00:38:29,160
my salvation.
Jesus also needed salvation, and
460
00:38:29,160 –> 00:38:35,280
he prayed his many, many Knights
to ask his Father to help him.
461
00:38:37,000 –> 00:38:42,240
So what does this exploration of
this very personal Psalm of
462
00:38:42,320 –> 00:38:47,560
Jesus mean for us believers?
What can we learn from it?
463
00:38:49,120 –> 00:38:53,640
He can learn from Jesus not just
to be sympathetic with our
464
00:38:53,640 –> 00:38:57,040
brethren and sisters when they
suffered, but to enter
465
00:38:57,040 –> 00:39:00,320
selflessly into their plight for
them.
466
00:39:00,320 –> 00:39:04,680
We are much better able to help
them and to appreciate God’s
467
00:39:04,680 –> 00:39:08,640
salvation.
It gives us an appreciation of
468
00:39:08,880 –> 00:39:12,240
the compassion which the apostle
Paul had for his fellow
469
00:39:12,240 –> 00:39:16,840
believers.
Because he said who is weak and
470
00:39:16,840 –> 00:39:21,600
I am not weak?
Who is offended, and I burn not.
471
00:39:24,120 –> 00:39:29,120
It teaches also the
extraordinary features of the
472
00:39:29,120 –> 00:39:34,280
garments of the high priest, the
breastplate, which are the names
473
00:39:34,280 –> 00:39:37,440
of all the 12 sons of Jacob
there.
474
00:39:37,440 –> 00:39:54,280
If you go to Psalm 89,
remember that process.
475
00:39:54,280 –> 00:39:58,560
Much more powerful if you cut
out the italics.
476
00:39:59,560 –> 00:40:03,960
Just remember, Lord, the
reproach of Thy servants.
477
00:40:05,200 –> 00:40:10,560
I do bear in my bosom all the
mighty people.
478
00:40:12,360 –> 00:40:16,960
And so Jesus was a high priest.
He’s carried all the people with
479
00:40:17,000 –> 00:40:21,080
all their diseases and their
frailnesses and their sin and
480
00:40:21,080 –> 00:40:24,280
their sicknesses.
He felt that in Himself.
481
00:40:24,280 –> 00:40:31,440
He carried them in his bosom,
and He can learn so much from
482
00:40:31,440 –> 00:40:35,720
that.
We must follow his steps, and we
483
00:40:35,720 –> 00:40:40,520
can only do that if we show
fellowship, the fellowship of
484
00:40:40,520 –> 00:40:44,960
the suffering of Christ, which
you can see in the suffering of
485
00:40:44,960 –> 00:40:50,240
our brethren and of our sisters.
Remember when Jacob wrestled
486
00:40:50,240 –> 00:40:54,040
with the Angel in Peniel all
through the night, what was
487
00:40:54,160 –> 00:40:58,680
resolved?
He halted on his thigh.
488
00:41:00,240 –> 00:41:02,800
If you go now to Second
Corinthians chapter 4,
489
00:41:14,530 –> 00:41:29,340
if we do this, he speaks there
verse 13, we have the same
490
00:41:29,340 –> 00:41:31,500
spirit of faith according as it
is written.
491
00:41:31,860 –> 00:41:35,820
I believed and therefore have I
spoken the Psalm of the 16.
492
00:41:35,820 –> 00:41:40,560
By the way, we also believe, and
therefore speak, knowing that he
493
00:41:40,560 –> 00:41:45,280
which raised up the Lord Jesus
shall raise up us also by Jesus,
494
00:41:45,280 –> 00:41:50,320
and shall present us with you.
For all things are for your
495
00:41:50,320 –> 00:41:53,840
sakes, that the abundant grace
marks through the Thanksgiving
496
00:41:53,840 –> 00:41:58,240
of many redound to the glory of
God, for which ’cause we feigned
497
00:41:58,240 –> 00:42:01,880
not.
For though our outward men
498
00:42:02,640 –> 00:42:08,480
perish, and that in the Greek
is, though our outward men is
499
00:42:08,600 –> 00:42:15,840
being disabled, yet the inward
man is renewed day by day.
500
00:42:16,960 –> 00:42:21,400
So the more our outward man is
disabled, and we can do that
501
00:42:21,720 –> 00:42:24,960
when we help our brethren
citizen their suffering, and the
502
00:42:24,960 –> 00:42:27,120
inward man is renewed day by
day.
503
00:42:27,120 –> 00:42:31,280
We see Jesus getting frailer and
frailer and frailer, but his
504
00:42:31,280 –> 00:42:34,280
inward man became stronger and
stronger and stronger.
505
00:42:36,560 –> 00:42:42,040
We don’t have the same capacity
that Jesus had that is an
506
00:42:42,400 –> 00:42:46,040
inspiring example to follow his
steps.
507
00:42:46,160 –> 00:42:50,160
Just greater love has no men
like this, that the men lay down
508
00:42:50,360 –> 00:42:55,800
his life for his friends.
So the Psalms are the place to
509
00:42:56,040 –> 00:43:00,760
develop his empathy shown by
Jesus and his Father.
510
00:43:02,120 –> 00:43:04,480
I’d like to conclude these
studies with the words of our
511
00:43:04,480 –> 00:43:24,440
well beloved Psalm 72.
By reading this, we project
512
00:43:24,440 –> 00:43:26,240
ourselves forward into the
Kingdom.
513
00:43:28,480 –> 00:43:33,280
By God’s grace we’ll be able to
help to turn all nations to Him
514
00:43:33,280 –> 00:43:36,920
in love.
And look what we have to do in
515
00:43:36,920 –> 00:43:40,240
the Kingdom, if you haven’t done
it in this life, how we’ll be
516
00:43:40,240 –> 00:43:43,240
able, how we’ll be chosen to do
that in the Kingdom.
517
00:43:43,240 –> 00:43:47,760
In verse 11 all kings shall fall
down before him, All nations
518
00:43:47,760 –> 00:43:54,680
shall serve him, for he shall
deliver the needy when he cries,
519
00:43:55,200 –> 00:43:58,920
the poor also, and him that has
no helper.
520
00:43:59,520 –> 00:44:04,840
He shall spare the poor and
needy, and shall save the souls
521
00:44:05,200 –> 00:44:09,320
of the needy.
He shall redeem their soul from
522
00:44:09,960 –> 00:44:14,240
deceit and violence and pressure
shall their blood be in his
523
00:44:14,240 –> 00:44:18,040
sight, and he shall live, and to
him shall be given of the gold
524
00:44:18,040 –> 00:44:20,480
of Sheba.
Prayer also shall be made to
525
00:44:20,480 –> 00:44:23,240
him.
Continually and daily shall he
526
00:44:23,240 –> 00:44:26,800
be prayed.
In the prayers of David the son
527
00:44:26,800 –> 00:44:31,880
of Jesse are ended.
Amen and Amen.
528
00:44:34,280 –> 00:44:38,480
So Brian says, I hope that this
study has been perhaps helpful
529
00:44:38,720 –> 00:44:43,600
to you in turning more to the
sounds to learn how to live how
530
00:44:43,600 –> 00:44:48,160
he can follow his steps.
Now, it’s very heartened to see
531
00:44:48,520 –> 00:44:51,760
how the prayers of the brethren,
I felt sorry for them in this
532
00:44:51,760 –> 00:44:56,960
context of this study.
We called the path to pray, but
533
00:44:57,400 –> 00:44:59,320
quite a few that rose to the
occasion.
534
00:44:59,320 –> 00:45:04,240
And I think we all felt that the
more brethren start to learn to
535
00:45:04,400 –> 00:45:08,240
use Scripture in their prayer,
the the more powerful they
536
00:45:08,240 –> 00:45:10,120
become.
Won’t you agree?
537
00:45:10,640 –> 00:45:13,880
And the more we, especially as
sisters, we can relate to that
538
00:45:13,880 –> 00:45:16,040
because we recognise the word of
scriptures.
539
00:45:16,960 –> 00:45:24,080
In our introduction I showed you
this little pouch that’s the
540
00:45:24,240 –> 00:45:30,520
Israeli soldiers take with them
and inside is a little Psalm
541
00:45:30,520 –> 00:45:34,160
book.
They all get one and they always
542
00:45:34,320 –> 00:45:37,720
have it with them.
Then they go out to battle.
543
00:45:38,800 –> 00:45:43,160
And I hope that you’ve perhaps
learned in this Bible school
544
00:45:43,160 –> 00:45:48,480
that we also have a battle to
fight and the best tools, the
545
00:45:48,480 –> 00:45:53,880
best weapons to do that is just
a book of sounds.
546
00:45:54,480 –> 00:45:54,800
Thank you.
