\n00:00:13,800 –> 00:00:15,520
\nWelcome to Good Chris Selfie and
\ntalks. <\/p>\n

2
\n00:00:15,520 –> 00:00:17,240
\nI’m Levi.
\nAnd I’m Chris. <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:17,480 –> 00:00:19,400
\nAnd I’m Brian.
\nThank you for joining us this <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:19,400 –> 00:00:21,880
\nweek.
\nOn this podcast, we select one <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:21,880 –> 00:00:26,160
\ntalk a week to help us get the
\nBible in our Daily News feed. <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:26,480 –> 00:00:29,080
\nWe post a new episode at the
\nstart of each week with the <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:29,080 –> 00:00:31,800
\nshort intro beforehand to kind
\nof set the stage for the talk <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:31,800 –> 00:00:35,360
\nyou’re about to listen to.
\nAnd now, let’s talk more about <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:35,360 –> 00:00:51,800
\nthis week’s talk.
\nHi, this is Levi. <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:52,200 –> 00:00:55,360
\nThis week’s talk is an
\nexhortation by Brother Peter <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:55,360 –> 00:00:59,120
\nKing given at the Idlewild Bible
\nSchool in 1997. <\/p>\n

12
\n00:01:00,080 –> 00:01:04,720
\nThis exhibition did not have a
\ntitle that we know of. <\/p>\n

13
\n00:01:05,000 –> 00:01:09,640
\nThis is one of the tapes that
\nChris has taken on digitizing, <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:09,720 –> 00:01:12,160
\nwhich has been really great for
\nus. <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:12,400 –> 00:01:17,560
\nBasically after nearly five
\nyears on the show, we’ve we’re <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:17,760 –> 00:01:21,000
\nwe’re pretty clear on what’s
\nalready digitized or recorded <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:21,000 –> 00:01:24,120
\ndigitally and already online.
\nSo it’s been really helpful and <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:24,120 –> 00:01:26,120
\nwe you’ve you’ve you’ve noticed
\nthem, we’ve talked about them <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:26,120 –> 00:01:27,840
\nbefore.
\nSome of these other talks we’ve <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:27,840 –> 00:01:31,520
\nbeen posting that are older and
\nkind of more specifically <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:31,520 –> 00:01:35,000
\npresented in Southern California
\nwhere where Chris and I and <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:35,000 –> 00:01:38,440
\nJason are and this education was
\none of those. <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:38,440 –> 00:01:41,280
\nSo we don’t have a title.
\nIt is the first, the opening <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:41,480 –> 00:01:45,200
\neducation for Idlewild and I
\nreally enjoyed listening to it <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:45,200 –> 00:01:48,960
\nbecause as I kind of suspected,
\nI actually remember this talk <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:48,960 –> 00:01:50,880
\nspecifically and I was only 10
\nyears old. <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:51,840 –> 00:01:57,000
\nI was really struck as a child
\nby Brother Peter and I think <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:57,640 –> 00:01:59,960
\nthis is a classic.
\nThis is his third time on the <\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:59,960 –> 00:02:02,400
\nshow.
\nThere are two other episodes if <\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:02,400 –> 00:02:06,280
\nyou haven’t listened to them and
\nenjoy this one by Peter King and<\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:06,840 –> 00:02:09,919
\nthis is a classic like he he
\nkind of just it’s essentially <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:09,919 –> 00:02:13,040
\ngoing first by verse through a
\ncouple passages on the same <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:13,040 –> 00:02:16,040
\ntheme, which is bread and wine
\nin this case. <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:16,040 –> 00:02:19,400
\nSo it’s a really great kind of
\nclassic exitation but then at <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:19,400 –> 00:02:21,320
\nthe end he makes it again very
\npersonal. <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:21,320 –> 00:02:25,720
\nI’m he I think always just
\nreally comfortably moved moves <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:25,720 –> 00:02:31,280
\nbetween kind of exposition and
\nexitation on and and you know <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:31,280 –> 00:02:36,800
\npractically how we relate to God
\nand the Lord Jesus while you <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:36,800 –> 00:02:39,760
\nknow while you know while the
\npoint before you know the minute<\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:39,760 –> 00:02:44,600
\nbefore would have been just a
\npiece of exposition or a Hooray <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:45,200 –> 00:02:48,240
\na look into a specific word.
\nSo I really enjoyed listening to<\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:48,240 –> 00:02:52,560
\nthis talk again and remembering
\nbeing 10 in that room and and <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:52,560 –> 00:02:55,280
\nhearing it and really excited to
\nto share it here. <\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:55,280 –> 00:02:57,960
\nSo here is a nice station by
\nBrother Peter King. <\/p>\n

45
\n00:03:00,840 –> 00:03:04,000
\nWhen the Lord Jesus Christ
\nintroduced the emblems to his <\/p>\n

46
\n00:03:04,000 –> 00:03:12,360
\ndisciples, what do you think was
\nin their mind when at the <\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:12,360 –> 00:03:14,400
\nbeginning of the feast?
\nBecause that’s when it took <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:14,400 –> 00:03:19,480
\nplace, not at the end.
\nHe introduced to them the the <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:19,480 –> 00:03:24,080
\nbread and the wine.
\nWhat thoughts do you think were <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:24,080 –> 00:03:29,680
\nuppermost in their mind?
\nI suppose from Sunday school <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:29,680 –> 00:03:32,560
\ndays, those of us who were
\nfortunate enough to attend when <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:32,560 –> 00:03:37,160
\nwe were five years old, Just
\nthink of the the, the shock and <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:37,160 –> 00:03:41,440
\nthe revulsion.
\nSuch a suggestion that the Lord <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:41,440 –> 00:03:45,320
\nmade.
\nBut if you ponder the matter, <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:45,320 –> 00:03:49,440
\nbrethren and sisters, you will
\nfind, I think, with the word of <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:49,440 –> 00:03:52,200
\nGod in our hand, that this is
\nnot necessarily the case. <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:53,440 –> 00:03:57,560
\nMy proposition to you this
\nevening is that they were <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:57,560 –> 00:04:02,200
\nshocked beyond belief when the
\nMaster equated the bread with <\/p>\n

59
\n00:04:02,200 –> 00:04:03,880
\nhis body and the wine with his
\nblood. <\/p>\n

60
\n00:04:05,760 –> 00:04:09,440
\nBut for the Lord to take from
\nthe table a piece of bread and <\/p>\n

61
\n00:04:09,440 –> 00:04:14,280
\nsay, I want you to eat this as a
\nmemorial feast, didn’t surprise <\/p>\n

62
\n00:04:14,280 –> 00:04:18,279
\nthem at all.
\nFor the Lord to produce a cup of<\/p>\n

63
\n00:04:18,279 –> 00:04:22,000
\nwine and say, I want you each to
\ndrink from this single cup, <\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:23,480 –> 00:04:29,920
\ncaused them not a moment’s
\nhesitation in accepting, of <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:29,920 –> 00:04:32,040
\ncourse, what did surprise them
\nand shock them, and I should <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:32,040 –> 00:04:36,560
\nthink it took them a long time
\nto come to terms with, was his <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:36,560 –> 00:04:39,160
\nassociation with his body and
\nthe bread and his blood with the<\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:39,160 –> 00:04:42,680
\nwine.
\nBut as a memorial service they <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:42,680 –> 00:04:46,160
\nwere not surprised, because as
\ngood Old Testament people, and <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:46,160 –> 00:04:50,480
\nthey were, they were well
\nacquainted with memorial <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:50,480 –> 00:04:55,360
\nservices of bread and wine.
\nMany times I should think they <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:55,360 –> 00:04:57,800
\nhad taken bread and wine as a
\nmemorial feast. <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:59,200 –> 00:05:02,000
\nOf course, in the chapters that
\nwe shall read in Matthew in a <\/p>\n

74
\n00:05:02,000 –> 00:05:06,880
\nfew days time, when the Master
\nbrought them to specifically his<\/p>\n

75
\n00:05:07,040 –> 00:05:09,120
\nbody, and his blood chopped
\nthem. <\/p>\n

76
\n00:05:10,400 –> 00:05:12,880
\nAnd I thought for a few moments
\nthis evening we might profitably<\/p>\n

77
\n00:05:12,880 –> 00:05:14,800
\nhave a look at some Old
\nTestament breaking of bread <\/p>\n

78
\n00:05:14,800 –> 00:05:18,760
\nservices, and see the principles
\nthat were undoubtedly involved <\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:18,760 –> 00:05:22,000
\nthen, and see whether they apply
\nto us today. <\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:22,920 –> 00:05:25,120
\nAnd I think we should find
\nunerringly with the word of God <\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:25,120 –> 00:05:27,640
\nfaithfully in our hand, that
\nthey will. <\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:29,840 –> 00:05:33,760
\nThe first time that we read of a
\nbreaking of bread service is at <\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:33,760 –> 00:05:40,920
\nthe time when Abraham did to the
\nfour kings with his 318 trained <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:40,920 –> 00:05:43,880
\nmen what the five kings couldn’t
\ndo in battle. <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:45,280 –> 00:05:48,120
\nYou remember early in Genesis
\nhow that the five kings served <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:48,120 –> 00:05:53,520
\nthe four kings, and then in the
\n13th year they rebelled and war <\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:53,520 –> 00:05:57,880
\nagainst Ward against Ed or
\nNaoma, and they came off worse <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:59,120 –> 00:06:01,480
\nand the five kings lost the
\nbattle, they lost their cities, <\/p>\n

89
\n00:06:01,640 –> 00:06:03,840
\nthey lost their people, they
\nlost their possessions. <\/p>\n

90
\n00:06:05,800 –> 00:06:08,480
\nAnd Abraham of course couldn’t
\nhave cared a figure about this. <\/p>\n

91
\n00:06:09,760 –> 00:06:12,680
\nHe would he.
\nHe wouldn’t even have caused him<\/p>\n

92
\n00:06:12,680 –> 00:06:19,200
\na moment’s agitation, these nine
\nidiot kings warring among <\/p>\n

93
\n00:06:19,200 –> 00:06:24,200
\nthemselves, had not his nephew
\nnot been in Sodom, which was one<\/p>\n

94
\n00:06:24,200 –> 00:06:26,840
\nof the cities taken by Quedor
\nLaover. <\/p>\n

95
\n00:06:30,520 –> 00:06:37,160
\nAnd he assembles his 318
\nsoldiers, pursues Cador Laomar <\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:37,160 –> 00:06:40,560
\nand the three kings that were
\nwith him, overtakes them and <\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:40,560 –> 00:06:43,360
\ndefeats them, and brings back
\nall the people and the goods <\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:43,360 –> 00:06:47,440
\nthat have been taken from the
\ncities and on his way back. <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:47,440 –> 00:06:50,600
\nAnd it’s ever so important that
\nwe get the structure of the <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:50,600 –> 00:06:54,840
\nstory in the right order.
\nOn the way back, he’s met by <\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:55,120 –> 00:07:00,360
\nBira, the king of Sodom, and
\nBira, the king of Sodom says, <\/p>\n

102
\n00:07:00,360 –> 00:07:02,120
\nI’m delighted that you’ve done
\nwhat you have done. <\/p>\n

103
\n00:07:02,400 –> 00:07:05,080
\nThank you for rescuing the
\npeople, the men, the women and <\/p>\n

104
\n00:07:05,080 –> 00:07:09,960
\nthe children.
\nGive the souls to me and keep <\/p>\n

105
\n00:07:09,960 –> 00:07:12,920
\nfor yourself the bounty that you
\nhave taken. <\/p>\n

106
\n00:07:13,000 –> 00:07:14,880
\nAnd at that point there is an
\ninterruption. <\/p>\n

107
\n00:07:16,040 –> 00:07:18,440
\nHe doesn’t go away.
\nHe has a single interview <\/p>\n

108
\n00:07:19,760 –> 00:07:23,160
\nbecause while he’s talking to
\nBira, the king of Sodom and <\/p>\n

109
\n00:07:23,160 –> 00:07:27,160
\nprobably the king of Gomorrah
\nalso, there comes to him <\/p>\n

110
\n00:07:27,160 –> 00:07:31,400
\nMelchizedek out of the city of
\nSalem, perhaps Jerusalem, <\/p>\n

111
\n00:07:31,680 –> 00:07:37,240
\nbearing bread and wine.
\nAnd he is king and priest of the<\/p>\n

112
\n00:07:37,240 –> 00:07:43,040
\nMost High God, and he comes to
\nAbraham, and Abraham leaves Beer<\/p>\n

113
\n00:07:43,040 –> 00:07:46,440
\nof the king of Sodom kicking his
\nheels, while now he addresses <\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:47,320 –> 00:07:51,000
\nMelchizedek.
\nAnd Melchizedek introduces the <\/p>\n

115
\n00:07:51,000 –> 00:07:54,440
\nbread to him and the wine.
\nAnd it’s a lengthy meeting <\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:54,840 –> 00:07:58,760
\nbecause Abraham pays tithes of
\nall the tea hat, and he receives<\/p>\n

117
\n00:07:58,760 –> 00:08:04,200
\nan exitation from Melchizedek.
\nAnd it’s a good exitation, and <\/p>\n

118
\n00:08:04,200 –> 00:08:08,000
\nit’s a practical exitation, and
\nit’s an exitation that Abraham <\/p>\n

119
\n00:08:08,000 –> 00:08:10,600
\ncould remember and something
\nthat he could do. <\/p>\n

120
\n00:08:13,800 –> 00:08:16,760
\nAnd when the bread and wine were
\ntaken away and Melchizedek goes <\/p>\n

121
\n00:08:16,760 –> 00:08:20,520
\nback into the city, I mean, just
\nponder for a moment, if you <\/p>\n

122
\n00:08:20,520 –> 00:08:23,600
\nwill, the wonderful types that
\nwe have all coming together. <\/p>\n

123
\n00:08:23,920 –> 00:08:27,120
\nWe have Melchizedek representing
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ, king and <\/p>\n

124
\n00:08:27,120 –> 00:08:31,400
\npriest of God’s holy city.
\nWe have Abraham bearing all the <\/p>\n

125
\n00:08:31,400 –> 00:08:34,600
\npromises which God made to his
\nfaithful people. <\/p>\n

126
\n00:08:36,159 –> 00:08:39,080
\nAnd manifesting Melchizedek was
\nmore important than Abraham <\/p>\n

127
\n00:08:39,559 –> 00:08:43,120
\nbecause the lesser always pays
\ntithes to the greater. <\/p>\n

128
\n00:08:45,600 –> 00:08:50,720
\nAnd when Melchizedek goes away,
\nAbraham turns again to address <\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:50,720 –> 00:08:54,640
\nthe king who’s been kicking his
\nheels while this service has <\/p>\n

130
\n00:08:54,640 –> 00:08:59,000
\nbeen taking place.
\nAnd now he addresses Bearer. <\/p>\n

131
\n00:09:00,240 –> 00:09:05,200
\nAnd now we see the effect of the
\nexitation upon the man of God. <\/p>\n

132
\n00:09:06,680 –> 00:09:08,880
\nHe says, I’ve lifted up.
\nWhen did he do that? <\/p>\n

133
\n00:09:09,920 –> 00:09:12,560
\nI lift up my hands to God
\nAlmighty that I won’t take <\/p>\n

134
\n00:09:12,560 –> 00:09:14,960
\nanything from you.
\nThis was the exitation that <\/p>\n

135
\n00:09:14,960 –> 00:09:17,240
\nMelchizedek gave him.
\nMelchizedek would have said, you<\/p>\n

136
\n00:09:17,240 –> 00:09:18,800
\nwant to have nothing to do with
\nthis man. <\/p>\n

137
\n00:09:18,960 –> 00:09:22,960
\nHe represents filth and evil and
\nsin and is abhorrent to God. <\/p>\n

138
\n00:09:25,880 –> 00:09:28,560
\nNever heard the agitation and
\napplied it. <\/p>\n

139
\n00:09:29,360 –> 00:09:31,040
\nAnd he said, I don’t want
\nanything to do with you. <\/p>\n

140
\n00:09:31,240 –> 00:09:34,480
\nI won’t take anything from you.
\nI won’t take a thread from you. <\/p>\n

141
\n00:09:34,720 –> 00:09:39,120
\nI won’t take a bootlace from
\nyou, lest it should be said I <\/p>\n

142
\n00:09:39,120 –> 00:09:44,520
\nhave made Abraham rich.
\nNow that’s serious talk, <\/p>\n

143
\n00:09:44,520 –> 00:09:48,800
\nbrethren and sisters.
\nI mean, you can get no lower <\/p>\n

144
\n00:09:48,800 –> 00:09:52,240
\nthan a bootlace.
\nYou see. <\/p>\n

145
\n00:09:52,240 –> 00:09:54,240
\nHe didn’t even say I wouldn’t
\nhave a head covering off you. <\/p>\n

146
\n00:09:54,240 –> 00:09:56,400
\nHe said I don’t want a boot.
\nLike I wouldn’t have a thread <\/p>\n

147
\n00:09:56,400 –> 00:09:59,400
\noff you.
\nThere are ways of of turning <\/p>\n

148
\n00:09:59,400 –> 00:10:01,160
\ndown a gift, and this isn’t one
\nof them. <\/p>\n

149
\n00:10:01,400 –> 00:10:04,400
\nThis, this, this isn’t a lesson
\nin etiquette. <\/p>\n

150
\n00:10:04,600 –> 00:10:12,320
\nThis is a lesson in godliness.
\nHe’d heard the exitation you see<\/p>\n

151
\n00:10:12,480 –> 00:10:15,680
\nand applied it.
\nWould God, we, we, we did that <\/p>\n

152
\n00:10:15,680 –> 00:10:17,320
\nwith the exitations that we
\nhear. <\/p>\n

153
\n00:10:21,840 –> 00:10:25,000
\nBut he put his life on the line
\nin so doing. <\/p>\n

154
\n00:10:27,160 –> 00:10:31,160
\nYou see you.
\nYou cannot say that to a Middle <\/p>\n

155
\n00:10:31,160 –> 00:10:36,080
\nEast potentate.
\nYou cannot say that to a Middle <\/p>\n

156
\n00:10:36,080 –> 00:10:39,360
\nEast king and get away with it.
\nYou wouldn’t do it today. <\/p>\n

157
\n00:10:39,360 –> 00:10:42,600
\nI am telling you, it’s not a
\nquestion of debate, it’s a <\/p>\n

158
\n00:10:42,600 –> 00:10:44,880
\nstatement of fact.
\nYou cannot do it. <\/p>\n

159
\n00:10:46,200 –> 00:10:50,280
\nYour life is in danger.
\nSo Abraham has exposed himself <\/p>\n

160
\n00:10:50,280 –> 00:10:54,640
\non two issues.
\nFirstly, he’s in grave danger by<\/p>\n

161
\n00:10:54,720 –> 00:10:56,520
\nthrowing away the offer of a
\ngift. <\/p>\n

162
\n00:10:57,640 –> 00:11:00,080
\nAnd secondly, with respect to
\nAbraham, you’ve turned your back<\/p>\n

163
\n00:11:00,080 –> 00:11:03,680
\non very great wealth because the
\nbooty that was taken, that had <\/p>\n

164
\n00:11:03,680 –> 00:11:07,000
\npreviously been stolen from
\nSodom and from Gomorrah wasn’t <\/p>\n

165
\n00:11:07,000 –> 00:11:12,160
\nsomething to be sneezed at.
\nSo now watch. <\/p>\n

166
\n00:11:12,960 –> 00:11:16,800
\nWatch what happens.
\nAnd it’s ever so important that <\/p>\n

167
\n00:11:16,800 –> 00:11:20,800
\nwe get the order right.
\nHe’s broken bread as a memorial <\/p>\n

168
\n00:11:20,800 –> 00:11:25,120
\nservice, faithfully with his God
\nand with the Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n

169
\n00:11:28,040 –> 00:11:30,680
\nHe’s denounced sin and renounced
\nit. <\/p>\n

170
\n00:11:35,760 –> 00:11:40,520
\nAnd now God says to him in verse
\none of chapter 15. <\/p>\n

171
\n00:11:41,680 –> 00:11:44,880
\nOf course we’re very grateful to
\nthe ancient Archbishop of <\/p>\n

172
\n00:11:44,880 –> 00:11:49,040
\nCanterbury, who put the word of
\nGod into chapters and verses for<\/p>\n

173
\n00:11:49,040 –> 00:11:50,320
\nus.
\nWe’re grateful to him. <\/p>\n

174
\n00:11:50,320 –> 00:11:52,760
\nBut occasionally an error is
\nmade. <\/p>\n

175
\n00:11:53,600 –> 00:11:56,680
\nAnd here is one verse.
\nOne of chapter 15 of Genesis <\/p>\n

176
\n00:11:56,680 –> 00:11:59,360
\nshould be verse 25 of chapter
\n14. <\/p>\n

177
\n00:12:00,520 –> 00:12:03,680
\nNow it came to pass after these
\nthings did God spoke to Abraham <\/p>\n

178
\n00:12:03,680 –> 00:12:05,640
\nin a vision and said, Fear not,
\nAbraham. <\/p>\n

179
\n00:12:05,840 –> 00:12:08,760
\nI am thy shield and thy
\nexceeding great reward. <\/p>\n

180
\n00:12:08,760 –> 00:12:12,240
\nDo you see what’s happened?
\nI am thy shield. <\/p>\n

181
\n00:12:12,640 –> 00:12:16,840
\nI’ll protect you from this evil
\nman and thy exceeding great <\/p>\n

182
\n00:12:16,840 –> 00:12:19,160
\nreward.
\nYour reward will come from me, <\/p>\n

183
\n00:12:19,160 –> 00:12:24,320
\nnot from sin.
\nThe the, the, the blessing is is<\/p>\n

184
\n00:12:24,360 –> 00:12:29,880
\ntailor made for the man of God
\nexactly what he wanted. <\/p>\n

185
\n00:12:30,840 –> 00:12:34,600
\nBut mark this, it came after
\nbreaking bread, not before. <\/p>\n

186
\n00:12:36,080 –> 00:12:38,840
\nHe didn’t say to God now that
\nthese are the things that I <\/p>\n

187
\n00:12:38,840 –> 00:12:41,720
\nwant.
\nNo, I’ll break bread and drink <\/p>\n

188
\n00:12:41,720 –> 00:12:45,240
\nwine very much the other way
\nround. <\/p>\n

189
\n00:12:46,400 –> 00:12:51,240
\nHe broke bread and drank wine as
\na memorial, and then God tailor <\/p>\n

190
\n00:12:51,240 –> 00:12:55,800
\nmade a blessing for him.
\nAnd do you know brethren and <\/p>\n

191
\n00:12:55,800 –> 00:12:59,240
\nsisters, wherever you look in
\nthe word that holds good? <\/p>\n

192
\n00:13:01,400 –> 00:13:05,000
\nBecause the next breaking of
\nbread, service of which we read,<\/p>\n

193
\n00:13:05,880 –> 00:13:08,960
\nbrings us into collision with
\nexactly the same principle. <\/p>\n

194
\n00:13:10,880 –> 00:13:14,960
\nMoses has left it Egypt and
\nGontamidian there. <\/p>\n

195
\n00:13:14,960 –> 00:13:19,200
\nHe’s doubled his age, and at the
\nripe old age of 80, he sets off <\/p>\n

196
\n00:13:19,200 –> 00:13:24,200
\nback to Egypt to rescue the
\nHebrew people with God’s help. <\/p>\n

197
\n00:13:25,560 –> 00:13:31,040
\nAnd he does it with God’s help,
\nwith God’s guidance. <\/p>\n

198
\n00:13:31,760 –> 00:13:33,600
\nBy himself he would have been a
\nfailure. <\/p>\n

199
\n00:13:35,520 –> 00:13:39,200
\nAnd he comes to the base of
\nSinai, where Jethro his <\/p>\n

200
\n00:13:39,280 –> 00:13:43,440
\nbrother-in-law, not
\nfather-in-law, where Jethro, his<\/p>\n

201
\n00:13:43,560 –> 00:13:48,120
\nbrother-in-law, hears of the
\ngreat work which Moses has <\/p>\n

202
\n00:13:48,120 –> 00:13:52,720
\nperformed, and he brings his
\nwife who has been sent back on <\/p>\n

203
\n00:13:52,720 –> 00:13:54,880
\nthe road.
\nThis is an exhibition, not a <\/p>\n

204
\n00:13:54,880 –> 00:13:57,160
\nBible classic dress.
\nWe have no time to go down that <\/p>\n

205
\n00:13:57,160 –> 00:14:00,720
\nway.
\nBut Zipporah has been sent back <\/p>\n

206
\n00:14:01,120 –> 00:14:05,560
\nto Jethro by Moses.
\nAnd then Jethro says to Zipporah<\/p>\n

207
\n00:14:05,560 –> 00:14:08,920
\nand the boys, Now I must take
\nyou to the base of Sinai to <\/p>\n

208
\n00:14:08,920 –> 00:14:12,080
\nHoreb, where Moses has done what
\nhe said he would do, and he’s <\/p>\n

209
\n00:14:12,080 –> 00:14:14,800
\nbrought out God’s people and you
\nmust be reunited with your <\/p>\n

210
\n00:14:14,800 –> 00:14:17,120
\nhusband.
\nWhich is why, incidentally, <\/p>\n

211
\n00:14:17,920 –> 00:14:20,640
\nMiriam and Aaron chide with
\nMoses because of the Kushite <\/p>\n

212
\n00:14:20,640 –> 00:14:23,920
\nwoman who’ve been married.
\nHe didn’t just marry her that <\/p>\n

213
\n00:14:23,920 –> 00:14:26,320
\nonly just found out that he was
\nmarried when he came back to <\/p>\n

214
\n00:14:26,320 –> 00:14:27,760
\nEgypt.
\nHe didn’t see fit to tell them <\/p>\n

215
\n00:14:27,760 –> 00:14:30,080
\nthat he was married because he
\ndidn’t think he’d see his wife <\/p>\n

216
\n00:14:30,080 –> 00:14:34,440
\nand sons again.
\nBut but when Jethro brings them,<\/p>\n

217
\n00:14:34,440 –> 00:14:36,040
\nhe has some very fast talking to
\ndo. <\/p>\n

218
\n00:14:36,560 –> 00:14:39,040
\nThis is I forgot to tell you, I
\nwas married when I was in Egypt,<\/p>\n

219
\n00:14:39,160 –> 00:14:42,000
\nin Midian, and this is my wife
\nand my sons. <\/p>\n

220
\n00:14:43,440 –> 00:14:48,280
\nThen look what happens.
\nJethro and Moses and Aaron and <\/p>\n

221
\n00:14:48,280 –> 00:14:53,520
\nthe elders of his trail eat
\nbread in the presence of God. <\/p>\n

222
\n00:14:54,480 –> 00:14:57,800
\nIt is a memorial service.
\nExodus chapter 18 if you look <\/p>\n

223
\n00:14:57,800 –> 00:14:58,920
\nin.
\nBut believe me, it’s there. <\/p>\n

224
\n00:15:03,640 –> 00:15:11,600
\nIt’s a memorial service.
\nAnd in the morning Jethro says <\/p>\n

225
\n00:15:11,600 –> 00:15:16,800
\nto Moses what means this great
\nline of people outside your <\/p>\n

226
\n00:15:16,800 –> 00:15:19,200
\ntent.
\nAnd Moses says, well, I’m the <\/p>\n

227
\n00:15:19,200 –> 00:15:22,720
\njudge, you see, and they come to
\nme for me to pass judgement on <\/p>\n

228
\n00:15:22,720 –> 00:15:27,080
\nthem between right and wrong.
\nAnd Jethro says to him, you will<\/p>\n

229
\n00:15:27,080 –> 00:15:29,320
\nsurely wear yourself out doing
\nthis. <\/p>\n

230
\n00:15:30,600 –> 00:15:32,520
\nHe must learn, doesn’t actually
\nsay this, but this is what he <\/p>\n

231
\n00:15:32,520 –> 00:15:33,720
\nmeans.
\nYou must learn the art of <\/p>\n

232
\n00:15:33,720 –> 00:15:38,240
\ndelegation.
\nGive give the job of judging <\/p>\n

233
\n00:15:38,240 –> 00:15:43,080
\n1000 people to this man, and the
\njob of judging 100 people to <\/p>\n

234
\n00:15:43,080 –> 00:15:46,640
\nthis man, and to him 10 people.
\nAnd just reserve the right to <\/p>\n

235
\n00:15:46,640 –> 00:15:48,600
\nhandle the difficult cases
\nyourself. <\/p>\n

236
\n00:15:48,800 –> 00:15:52,160
\nBut if you’re going to deal with
\nevery problem that ever arises, <\/p>\n

237
\n00:15:52,320 –> 00:15:54,480
\nyou will surely weigh yourself
\nout. <\/p>\n

238
\n00:15:56,560 –> 00:16:00,640
\nAnd Moses did, and he laid his
\nburden down. <\/p>\n

239
\n00:16:02,800 –> 00:16:04,520
\nIt was just the blessing that he
\nneeded. <\/p>\n

240
\n00:16:05,680 –> 00:16:08,920
\nHe didn’t need protection.
\nHe didn’t need wealth. <\/p>\n

241
\n00:16:09,880 –> 00:16:12,240
\nHe wanted to learn the art of
\ndelegation. <\/p>\n

242
\n00:16:12,400 –> 00:16:15,040
\nAnd Jethro told him after
\nbreaking of bread. <\/p>\n

243
\n00:16:15,200 –> 00:16:18,840
\nIncidentally, you’re well taught
\nhere. <\/p>\n

244
\n00:16:18,840 –> 00:16:22,080
\nI know you are.
\nYou might just like to ponder <\/p>\n

245
\n00:16:22,080 –> 00:16:25,120
\nwhat was the great
\ncharacteristic that that Jethro <\/p>\n

246
\n00:16:25,120 –> 00:16:29,080
\ntold Moses he should look for in
\nthe judges whom he appointed. <\/p>\n

247
\n00:16:29,560 –> 00:16:36,040
\nWhat was it?
\nJust one and such a good man <\/p>\n

248
\n00:16:36,040 –> 00:16:39,480
\nWith Jethro, I cannot believe.
\nYou see, you could live 40 years<\/p>\n

249
\n00:16:39,480 –> 00:16:41,840
\nin the company of somebody like
\nMoses and not be a believer. <\/p>\n

250
\n00:16:43,880 –> 00:16:47,000
\nAnd such a good man was Jethro,
\nthat he preceded the giving of <\/p>\n

251
\n00:16:47,000 –> 00:16:48,880
\nthe 10 commandments by a whole
\nchapter. <\/p>\n

252
\n00:16:49,080 –> 00:16:51,520
\nBecause he said, when you
\nappoint judges, you must look <\/p>\n

253
\n00:16:51,520 –> 00:16:56,160
\nfor men who are not covetous.
\nGot it? <\/p>\n

254
\n00:16:56,160 –> 00:16:58,920
\nIn one, you see?
\nNo, she did, and he laid his <\/p>\n

255
\n00:16:58,920 –> 00:17:00,440
\nburden down after breaking
\nbread. <\/p>\n

256
\n00:17:00,680 –> 00:17:02,760
\nAnd the principal holds good
\nbrethren and sisters. <\/p>\n

257
\n00:17:03,320 –> 00:17:05,800
\nThe next time we read up a
\nspecific breaking of bread is <\/p>\n

258
\n00:17:05,800 –> 00:17:11,800
\nwhen Ruth the Moabites comes
\nhome with Naomi. <\/p>\n

259
\n00:17:11,839 –> 00:17:14,119
\nI suppose we should call Amara,
\nalthough nobody ever does. <\/p>\n

260
\n00:17:14,920 –> 00:17:16,599
\nDon’t call me sweetness and
\nlight, she says. <\/p>\n

261
\n00:17:16,599 –> 00:17:19,720
\nCall me bitterness, because the
\nLord took me out full and <\/p>\n

262
\n00:17:19,720 –> 00:17:22,480
\nbrought me back empty.
\nWent out with three men, came <\/p>\n

263
\n00:17:22,480 –> 00:17:26,839
\nback with none.
\nOne daughter-in-law and Ruth. <\/p>\n

264
\n00:17:27,160 –> 00:17:30,120
\nHe’s providentially LED, as you
\nknow, to glean in the field of <\/p>\n

265
\n00:17:30,120 –> 00:17:34,120
\nboys again, what superb types we
\nhave. <\/p>\n

266
\n00:17:34,360 –> 00:17:38,120
\nBoaz unerringly representing the
\nLord Jesus Christ, and Ruth the <\/p>\n

267
\n00:17:38,120 –> 00:17:42,960
\nGentile Ecclesia.
\nAnd Ruth is providentially led <\/p>\n

268
\n00:17:42,960 –> 00:17:46,480
\nto glean in his field, and in
\none day she she gleans enough to<\/p>\n

269
\n00:17:46,480 –> 00:17:48,560
\nfeed a mother-in-law and herself
\nfor two weeks. <\/p>\n

270
\n00:17:49,720 –> 00:17:59,280
\nFabulous story, fabulous love
\nstory and boy assist to her. <\/p>\n

271
\n00:18:00,040 –> 00:18:01,680
\nI’ve heard that you’re a
\nfaithful girl. <\/p>\n

272
\n00:18:03,400 –> 00:18:05,320
\nHow that you have not turned
\nyour back on your mother-in-law,<\/p>\n

273
\n00:18:05,320 –> 00:18:11,560
\nbut you’ve been very faithful.
\nNow hear this ever before. <\/p>\n

274
\n00:18:11,560 –> 00:18:16,920
\nHe spoke to her like that they
\nbroke bread and drank wine. <\/p>\n

275
\n00:18:18,120 –> 00:18:20,840
\nHe said, come to me and and eat
\nthis. <\/p>\n

276
\n00:18:21,600 –> 00:18:24,960
\nAnd he gave a parched corn.
\nIt’s the corn still on the <\/p>\n

277
\n00:18:24,960 –> 00:18:28,880
\nstalk, held over a flame and
\ntapped out gently. <\/p>\n

278
\n00:18:29,840 –> 00:18:32,480
\nIt’s a great delicacy in the
\nland and it’s called parched <\/p>\n

279
\n00:18:32,480 –> 00:18:33,760
\ncorn.
\nOf course it won’t fill you up. <\/p>\n

280
\n00:18:34,520 –> 00:18:41,960
\nIt’s only it’s only a tape as as
\nis this, but it’s that of which <\/p>\n

281
\n00:18:41,960 –> 00:18:46,480
\nit speaks, which is important.
\nIt’s bread given by the king to <\/p>\n

282
\n00:18:46,480 –> 00:18:50,880
\nthe bride.
\nAnd then he said, come with me <\/p>\n

283
\n00:18:52,000 –> 00:18:56,560
\nand he says to the stewards give
\nher red wine to drink. <\/p>\n

284
\n00:18:57,280 –> 00:19:00,320
\nThe authorized version to which
\nI happen to be addicted, calls <\/p>\n

285
\n00:19:00,320 –> 00:19:02,560
\nit vinegar.
\nIt’s rough red wine that the <\/p>\n

286
\n00:19:02,840 –> 00:19:04,800
\nwith which the workers slake
\ntheir thirst. <\/p>\n

287
\n00:19:05,000 –> 00:19:06,400
\nLook what the king has given the
\nbride. <\/p>\n

288
\n00:19:06,560 –> 00:19:09,880
\nHe’s given a bread and he’s
\ngiven a wine and they feast <\/p>\n

289
\n00:19:09,880 –> 00:19:13,520
\ntogether.
\nAnd then he says, because the <\/p>\n

290
\n00:19:13,520 –> 00:19:15,680
\nblessing must follow the the
\nmemorial service. <\/p>\n

291
\n00:19:16,480 –> 00:19:20,880
\nThen he says you won’t go into
\nany other field, will you? <\/p>\n

292
\n00:19:22,280 –> 00:19:24,440
\nYou will stay faithful to me,
\nwon’t you? <\/p>\n

293
\n00:19:24,600 –> 00:19:28,000
\nYou’ll have other offers, other
\noffers, which might, might, <\/p>\n

294
\n00:19:28,080 –> 00:19:31,160
\nmight sound more attractive.
\nDon’t, don’t go. <\/p>\n

295
\n00:19:32,040 –> 00:19:34,960
\nStay faithful to me.
\nAnd she did, and he married her.<\/p>\n

296
\n00:19:37,000 –> 00:19:40,560
\nBut the blessings came after the
\nmemorial service was taken and <\/p>\n

297
\n00:19:40,560 –> 00:19:44,240
\nit was tailor made for her.
\nShe didn’t need to learn the art<\/p>\n

298
\n00:19:44,240 –> 00:19:46,640
\nof delegation.
\nShe didn’t want protection or <\/p>\n

299
\n00:19:46,640 –> 00:19:49,560
\ngreat wealth.
\nShe wanted to be encouraged to <\/p>\n

300
\n00:19:49,560 –> 00:19:52,480
\nsay, in the field of the man
\nrepresenting the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n

301
\n00:19:52,480 –> 00:19:55,160
\nChrist, say faithful, and you
\nwill be blessed. <\/p>\n

302
\n00:19:55,240 –> 00:19:58,640
\nAnd she did, and she was.
\nAnd wherever you open your book,<\/p>\n

303
\n00:19:58,640 –> 00:20:00,760
\nbrethren and sisters, the
\nprinciple holds good. <\/p>\n

304
\n00:20:00,960 –> 00:20:03,360
\nIsaiah 55 We read it a little
\nwhile ago. <\/p>\n

305
\n00:20:04,320 –> 00:20:09,840
\nEat bread and drink wine free of
\ncharge, free to you, not free of<\/p>\n

306
\n00:20:09,840 –> 00:20:14,080
\ncost to the Father or the Son.
\nBut what blessing follows? <\/p>\n

307
\n00:20:14,360 –> 00:20:18,600
\nEat and drink, and your chapter
\n55 Eat and drink and your soul <\/p>\n

308
\n00:20:18,600 –> 00:20:24,800
\nshall live time presses.
\nLet’s just go into the New <\/p>\n

309
\n00:20:24,800 –> 00:20:25,920
\nTestament, shall we?
\nQuickly. <\/p>\n

310
\n00:20:26,640 –> 00:20:31,440
\nThe Apostle Paul came down to
\nTroas, and as his custom was, he<\/p>\n

311
\n00:20:31,440 –> 00:20:34,640
\ncame to break bread on the first
\nday of the week with the <\/p>\n

312
\n00:20:34,640 –> 00:20:36,760
\ndisciples.
\nNow the Jewish day starts at <\/p>\n

313
\n00:20:36,760 –> 00:20:42,400
\n6:00 in the evening, if you know
\nso at chapter 20, if you’re <\/p>\n

314
\n00:20:42,400 –> 00:20:43,840
\ngoing there.
\nBut there, I promise you the <\/p>\n

315
\n00:20:47,360 –> 00:20:53,680
\nthe, the, the apostle, the
\napostle at 6:00 on Saturday <\/p>\n

316
\n00:20:53,680 –> 00:20:57,240
\nevening.
\nIt’s now Sunday morning. <\/p>\n

317
\n00:20:58,080 –> 00:21:02,400
\nWell, it’s Sunday.
\nOn the first day of the week <\/p>\n

318
\n00:21:02,400 –> 00:21:03,600
\nthey come together to break
\nbread. <\/p>\n

319
\n00:21:06,240 –> 00:21:12,600
\nAnd the apostle Paul, I suppose
\nhe’s on his, shall we say by <\/p>\n

320
\n00:21:12,720 –> 00:21:16,360
\n7:00 by the time they’d had a
\nfew hymns. <\/p>\n

321
\n00:21:16,360 –> 00:21:21,200
\nAnd whoever was taking brother
\nPaul’s job but said a couple of <\/p>\n

322
\n00:21:21,200 –> 00:21:24,040
\nprayers.
\nAnd brother Dick makes some <\/p>\n

323
\n00:21:24,040 –> 00:21:25,800
\nannouncements.
\nWe’re going to hear the apostle <\/p>\n

324
\n00:21:26,360 –> 00:21:30,720
\nPaul preached next Saturday or
\nmight have been Peter or John, <\/p>\n

325
\n00:21:30,760 –> 00:21:34,040
\nthe fraternal And the
\nannouncements, let’s say that <\/p>\n

326
\n00:21:34,040 –> 00:21:35,760
\nthose those bits and pieces
\ntook. <\/p>\n

327
\n00:21:36,200 –> 00:21:38,440
\nLet’s say they took it took an
\nhour. <\/p>\n

328
\n00:21:38,440 –> 00:21:40,000
\nShall we?
\nHe’s on his feet at 7:00. <\/p>\n

329
\n00:21:41,080 –> 00:21:43,880
\nOf course, the excitations in
\nthose days were somewhat longer <\/p>\n

330
\n00:21:43,880 –> 00:21:46,280
\nthan we have today.
\nHe’s still speaking at midnight.<\/p>\n

331
\n00:21:47,680 –> 00:21:49,560
\n5 hour exitation.
\nYeah. <\/p>\n

332
\n00:21:49,640 –> 00:21:51,200
\nNo, no, you’re not going to get
\nthat this evening. <\/p>\n

333
\n00:21:51,280 –> 00:21:55,000
\nI promise you that.
\nBut no, no, no, you’re not. <\/p>\n

334
\n00:21:55,160 –> 00:21:58,760
\nBut I tell you this, brothers
\nand sisters, in passing we have <\/p>\n

335
\n00:21:59,360 –> 00:22:01,880
\nwe have forgotten the art of
\nconcentration. <\/p>\n

336
\n00:22:01,880 –> 00:22:04,520
\nYou see, there are some young
\npeople on the back row tonight <\/p>\n

337
\n00:22:04,520 –> 00:22:07,360
\nwho are just not listening.
\nI tell you what, he’d better be <\/p>\n

338
\n00:22:07,360 –> 00:22:11,960
\nlistening tomorrow.
\nYeah, I’m deadly serious. <\/p>\n

339
\n00:22:13,440 –> 00:22:16,000
\nWe haven’t.
\nWe have forgotten the art of <\/p>\n

340
\n00:22:16,000 –> 00:22:24,990
\nconcentration.
\nWe don’t bother if the speaker <\/p>\n

341
\n00:22:24,990 –> 00:22:27,670
\ngoes on for more than 2234
\nminutes. <\/p>\n

342
\n00:22:27,870 –> 00:22:29,710
\nMostly cliches in the United
\nKingdom. <\/p>\n

343
\n00:22:29,710 –> 00:22:32,270
\nGive you give you a bit of paper
\nwhich says don’t speak for <\/p>\n

344
\n00:22:32,270 –> 00:22:33,910
\nlonger than 24 minutes, will you
\nplease? <\/p>\n

345
\n00:22:34,110 –> 00:22:38,190
\nDuring the morning and at night,
\nfor whatever you do. 35 minutes <\/p>\n

346
\n00:22:38,190 –> 00:22:40,390
\nmaximum.
\nRight, James. <\/p>\n

347
\n00:22:43,120 –> 00:22:46,400
\nBut we we, we can’t concentrate
\nfor longer than that. <\/p>\n

348
\n00:22:46,400 –> 00:22:50,000
\nThat’s what we’re saying.
\nYou see, brothers and sisters, <\/p>\n

349
\n00:22:50,000 –> 00:22:52,360
\nconcentration is not something
\nwith which we are born. <\/p>\n

350
\n00:22:52,560 –> 00:22:57,200
\nIt’s something which we learn
\nand we are slow learners. <\/p>\n

351
\n00:22:58,360 –> 00:23:00,760
\nI take my time sitting where you
\nare and I know it’s difficult. <\/p>\n

352
\n00:23:00,760 –> 00:23:03,520
\nThe speaker voice goes on and
\ndrones on and you play with the <\/p>\n

353
\n00:23:03,520 –> 00:23:05,680
\nnumbers on the inboard.
\nI know, I know where you’ve <\/p>\n

354
\n00:23:05,680 –> 00:23:07,480
\nbeen.
\nI’ve been down that road myself.<\/p>\n

355
\n00:23:08,360 –> 00:23:10,760
\nBut we really ought to learn, if
\nwe can, the art of <\/p>\n

356
\n00:23:11,280 –> 00:23:14,120
\nconcentration, perhaps a little
\nmore ardently than we do. <\/p>\n

357
\n00:23:15,280 –> 00:23:18,480
\nNot everybody can take it, of
\ncourse, and the young men Uticus<\/p>\n

358
\n00:23:18,480 –> 00:23:20,880
\ncouldn’t fell down from the
\nthird lost. <\/p>\n

359
\n00:23:21,120 –> 00:23:22,640
\nAnd he didn’t just doze off
\neither. <\/p>\n

360
\n00:23:22,640 –> 00:23:28,760
\nHe was fell into a deep sleep,
\nwas taken up dead, and they took<\/p>\n

361
\n00:23:28,760 –> 00:23:31,160
\nthe opportunity to get the bread
\nand wine round while Paul went <\/p>\n

362
\n00:23:31,160 –> 00:23:34,000
\nand embraced him and doubtless
\nraised him from the dead there <\/p>\n

363
\n00:23:34,000 –> 00:23:35,640
\nand then.
\nBut The thing is, we don’t read <\/p>\n

364
\n00:23:35,640 –> 00:23:37,160
\nhim the blessing until after
\nthey break him. <\/p>\n

365
\n00:23:37,320 –> 00:23:39,960
\nBroken bread and drunk wine.
\nAnd it’s after they’ve taken the<\/p>\n

366
\n00:23:39,960 –> 00:23:43,040
\nbread and the wine that the
\napostle Paul brings him to those<\/p>\n

367
\n00:23:43,120 –> 00:23:45,600
\nwhom he loved.
\nI love the understatement. <\/p>\n

368
\n00:23:45,880 –> 00:23:48,160
\nDo you know the understatement?
\nIn the word, In the word of God.<\/p>\n

369
\n00:23:50,800 –> 00:23:52,600
\nThey’re scattered all over.
\nHere’s one. <\/p>\n

370
\n00:23:54,200 –> 00:23:56,960
\nAnd he brought Euticus back
\nalive. <\/p>\n

371
\n00:23:58,080 –> 00:23:59,440
\nAnd they were not a little
\ncomforted. <\/p>\n

372
\n00:24:00,200 –> 00:24:01,080
\nWell, they wouldn’t be, would
\nthey? <\/p>\n

373
\n00:24:01,640 –> 00:24:03,040
\nIt would be a great deal
\ncomforted, wouldn’t it? <\/p>\n

374
\n00:24:03,400 –> 00:24:08,360
\nAnd they were.
\nOh, and then he continued his <\/p>\n

375
\n00:24:08,360 –> 00:24:10,960
\nexhortation till Daybreak.
\nSo if five hours hadn’t been <\/p>\n

376
\n00:24:10,960 –> 00:24:12,320
\nlong enough, they had another
\nfive hours. <\/p>\n

377
\n00:24:12,320 –> 00:24:14,520
\nAnd I shouldn’t think too many
\npeople dozed off in the <\/p>\n

378
\n00:24:14,520 –> 00:24:18,560
\nsecond-half.
\nWe’re not told. <\/p>\n

379
\n00:24:18,680 –> 00:24:24,720
\nWe’re not told about that.
\nBut do you see the order of the <\/p>\n

380
\n00:24:24,720 –> 00:24:28,200
\nblessing?
\nThey break bread, and then <\/p>\n

381
\n00:24:28,200 –> 00:24:31,560
\nEuticus is giving back to them
\nalive just what they wanted, <\/p>\n

382
\n00:24:33,160 –> 00:24:39,200
\nexactly what they needed.
\nAnd of course it would be unfair<\/p>\n

383
\n00:24:39,200 –> 00:24:42,320
\nany speaker to to talk like that
\nwithout coming to the greatest <\/p>\n

384
\n00:24:42,320 –> 00:24:46,200
\nof all breaking bread services,
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n

385
\n00:24:46,200 –> 00:24:48,200
\nIn Matthew 26.
\nWe shall be reading it in a few <\/p>\n

386
\n00:24:48,200 –> 00:24:50,640
\ndays.
\nTakes the bread and gives it to <\/p>\n

387
\n00:24:50,640 –> 00:24:53,680
\nhis disciples and the wine.
\nAnd they drink it. <\/p>\n

388
\n00:24:56,000 –> 00:24:58,360
\nNot only after they’ve taken the
\nbread and wine do they learn <\/p>\n

389
\n00:24:58,360 –> 00:25:02,480
\nthat it’s done for the remission
\nof sins, not your sins are <\/p>\n

390
\n00:25:02,480 –> 00:25:04,080
\nremitted.
\nOh, by the way, take bread and <\/p>\n

391
\n00:25:04,080 –> 00:25:06,280
\nwine.
\nNever that way round. <\/p>\n

392
\n00:25:06,720 –> 00:25:10,360
\nAlways the other way round.
\nFirst you take the emblems and <\/p>\n

393
\n00:25:10,360 –> 00:25:13,920
\nthen your sins are forgiven.
\nI’m not promoting the idea. <\/p>\n

394
\n00:25:13,920 –> 00:25:16,600
\nLet me just make this clear.
\nI’m not promoting the idea that <\/p>\n

395
\n00:25:16,800 –> 00:25:18,280
\nwe come here to have our sins
\nforgiven. <\/p>\n

396
\n00:25:18,280 –> 00:25:21,280
\nWe can do.
\nBut so effective is the bread <\/p>\n

397
\n00:25:21,280 –> 00:25:24,200
\nand wine, and if we take it
\nfaithfully, we can have our sins<\/p>\n

398
\n00:25:24,200 –> 00:25:26,920
\nforgiven on Tuesday morning or
\nThursday afternoon, if we so <\/p>\n

399
\n00:25:26,920 –> 00:25:32,920
\nwish, and if we so confit.
\nBut no bread and wine, no <\/p>\n

400
\n00:25:32,920 –> 00:25:35,840
\nforgiveness.
\nWe ought to learn that and <\/p>\n

401
\n00:25:35,840 –> 00:25:41,080
\npreach it.
\nThe blessing follows the <\/p>\n

402
\n00:25:41,080 –> 00:25:42,840
\nmemorial service.
\nNow this is the this is the <\/p>\n

403
\n00:25:42,840 –> 00:25:46,600
\npoint.
\nReverend sisters, you’re but <\/p>\n

404
\n00:25:46,600 –> 00:25:48,360
\ncommon, if I may use such a
\nword. <\/p>\n

405
\n00:25:48,360 –> 00:25:51,240
\nThe common denominator of all
\nbreaking and bread services is <\/p>\n

406
\n00:25:51,240 –> 00:25:55,840
\nthat it reminds us of the price
\nthat was paid for our salvation.<\/p>\n

407
\n00:25:59,840 –> 00:26:04,720
\nThis is the cost.
\nAnd the common denominator is <\/p>\n

408
\n00:26:04,720 –> 00:26:06,880
\nthat we can have our sins
\nforgiven because of this. <\/p>\n

409
\n00:26:08,000 –> 00:26:11,120
\nBut having looked at the
\nexitations, and there are ever <\/p>\n

410
\n00:26:11,120 –> 00:26:15,640
\nso many more of them in the Word
\nof God, having looked and <\/p>\n

411
\n00:26:15,640 –> 00:26:18,040
\nconsider the breaking bread
\nservices in the Word of God, do <\/p>\n

412
\n00:26:18,040 –> 00:26:23,360
\nyou not think we would be fair
\nto say that we two can look for <\/p>\n

413
\n00:26:23,360 –> 00:26:27,240
\nan individual blessing following
\nour faithful memorial service? <\/p>\n

414
\n00:26:28,720 –> 00:26:30,520
\nYour requirements are different
\nfrom mine. <\/p>\n

415
\n00:26:31,920 –> 00:26:34,800
\nMine needs are different today,
\nperhaps from what they were last<\/p>\n

416
\n00:26:34,800 –> 00:26:40,480
\nweek.
\nBut surely I can come to my Lord<\/p>\n

417
\n00:26:40,480 –> 00:26:45,760
\nand say, this is what I need,
\nbut thy will be done. <\/p>\n

418
\n00:26:48,000 –> 00:26:53,560
\nThis is my urgent requirement.
\nBut may thy will override it. <\/p>\n

419
\n00:26:56,840 –> 00:27:02,240
\nI think that’s fair.
\nMay we conclude by just looking <\/p>\n

420
\n00:27:02,240 –> 00:27:03,680
\ninto the future.
\nA moment, please. <\/p>\n

421
\n00:27:04,760 –> 00:27:07,240
\nYou see, the day will come when
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ will take <\/p>\n

422
\n00:27:07,240 –> 00:27:11,000
\nthe place of Brother Paul, and
\nwe’ll preside over a breaking of<\/p>\n

423
\n00:27:11,000 –> 00:27:14,000
\nbread service far faster than
\nthis. <\/p>\n

424
\n00:27:16,280 –> 00:27:19,600
\nAnd maybe our brethren who
\nbrought the bags around and who <\/p>\n

425
\n00:27:19,600 –> 00:27:22,840
\nwill shortly bring the cups and
\nplates around, will be replaced <\/p>\n

426
\n00:27:23,160 –> 00:27:24,760
\nby the disciples.
\nWho knows? <\/p>\n

427
\n00:27:25,760 –> 00:27:29,200
\nAnd you take bread having been
\nbroken by Jesus at the hand of <\/p>\n

428
\n00:27:30,040 –> 00:27:32,480
\nJohn the disciple, or Peter
\nMatthew. <\/p>\n

429
\n00:27:35,080 –> 00:27:41,960
\nAnd we remember the Lord Jesus
\nChrist as He sips wine again in <\/p>\n

430
\n00:27:41,960 –> 00:27:46,320
\nHis Father’s Kingdom.
\nNow what blessing follows that? <\/p>\n

431
\n00:27:47,840 –> 00:27:51,080
\nBecause if the principle is
\ngood, it must hold true all the <\/p>\n

432
\n00:27:51,080 –> 00:27:54,840
\nway.
\nAnd it does because the blessing<\/p>\n

433
\n00:27:54,840 –> 00:27:58,880
\nthat follows is life forever
\nmore in the Kingdom of God. <\/p>\n

434
\n00:28:01,280 –> 00:28:05,800
\nYou see, no bread and wine at
\nthe hand of Jesus, no life, <\/p>\n

435
\n00:28:07,960 –> 00:28:12,680
\nbread and wine in the Kingdom,
\nlife or evermore. <\/p>\n

436
\n00:28:14,480 –> 00:28:18,680
\nThis is the glory of our hope.
\nAnd so now, as we take bread, <\/p>\n

437
\n00:28:20,240 –> 00:28:25,520
\ndrink, whining memory of the
\nterrible price that was paid for<\/p>\n

438
\n00:28:25,520 –> 00:28:29,880
\nour freedom from from the
\nshackles of sin, let’s just <\/p>\n

439
\n00:28:29,880 –> 00:28:35,560
\nthank our God for it, and in the
\nprivacy of our own heart not be <\/p>\n

440
\n00:28:35,560 –> 00:28:39,880
\nafraid to say, Lord, I lean
\nheavily upon Your grace. <\/p>\n

441
\n00:28:41,000 –> 00:28:46,360
\nBless me, please, according to
\nmy personal and private needs, <\/p>\n
