\n00:00:23,080 –> 00:00:26,200
\nhelp us get the Bible in our
\nDaily News feed. <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:26,520 –> 00:00:29,120
\nWe post a new episode at the
\nstart of each week with the <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:29,120 –> 00:00:31,840
\nshort intro beforehand to kind
\nof set the stage for the talk <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:31,840 –> 00:00:35,400
\nyou’re about to listen to.
\nAnd now let’s talk more about <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:35,400 –> 00:00:52,400
\nthis week’s talk.
\nHello, welcome back. <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:52,560 –> 00:00:55,680
\nThis is Brother Chris.
\nFor our talk this week, we’re <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:55,680 –> 00:00:59,920
\nlistening to the second class of
\na day with the word study <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:59,920 –> 00:01:03,080
\nWeekend given by Brother Alfred
\nNorris at the Pomona Ecclesia <\/p>\n

13
\n00:01:03,080 –> 00:01:07,520
\nback in 1992.
\nThis was given in as a <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:07,520 –> 00:01:12,880
\nsuggestion from a very dear
\nsister who actually started me <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:12,880 –> 00:01:15,840
\non the journey of doing all the
\ntape digitization that I know <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:15,840 –> 00:01:19,440
\nwe’ve talked about in a couple
\nother podcast of tapes that I’ve<\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:19,440 –> 00:01:23,080
\nconverted.
\nShe handed me a stack of tapes <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:23,080 –> 00:01:26,560
\nfor this series and said this is
\nmy suggestion for the podcast <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:26,560 –> 00:01:29,440
\nand kind of started me on the
\njourney of figuring out how to <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:29,440 –> 00:01:33,160
\ndigitize old talks and cassette
\ntapes and has now led to all the<\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:33,160 –> 00:01:34,840
\nother many talks that we have
\nshared. <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:35,440 –> 00:01:38,880
\nThis was one that I had wanted
\nto get to, but I had some issues<\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:38,880 –> 00:01:41,760
\nwith the original audio that I
\nhad copied because it was right <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:41,760 –> 00:01:43,840
\nwhen I was starting to do it and
\ndidn’t know what I was doing. <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:44,440 –> 00:01:47,280
\nSo I had to go back and recopy
\nit to make sure that the audio <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:47,280 –> 00:01:49,400
\nsounded at the right level and
\nsounded good. <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:50,160 –> 00:01:53,840
\nOne small disclaimer on this one
\nis this is a four part series of<\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:53,840 –> 00:01:56,920
\ntalks, but the sister who gave
\nit to me didn’t have the third <\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:56,920 –> 00:01:59,320
\ntape and I have not been able to
\nfind it anywhere online. <\/p>\n

30
\n00:01:59,680 –> 00:02:03,800
\nSo if anybody is aware of where
\nthe third tape for this series <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:03,800 –> 00:02:06,920
\nis in existence, either online
\nor has a physical copy, please <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:06,920 –> 00:02:09,360
\nfeel free to reach out to us.
\nI would love to be able to <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:09,360 –> 00:02:12,640
\ncomplete the set as it were.
\nThis particular one, like I <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:12,640 –> 00:02:16,040
\nsaid, is the second class, and
\nthe title of this one is He <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:16,040 –> 00:02:18,280
\nLearned obedience by the Things
\nHe Suffered. <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:18,720 –> 00:02:23,160
\nIn the entire series, Brother
\nAlfred is looking at Christ and <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:23,440 –> 00:02:26,760
\ndifferent aspects of the
\nimportance of his life. <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:26,760 –> 00:02:31,280
\nThe first one he was looking at
\nthe significance of the cross <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:31,280 –> 00:02:34,440
\nand the sacrifice of Christ.
\nThis one, he was spending a lot <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:34,440 –> 00:02:39,360
\nof time looking at the
\nsignificance of Christ being a <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:39,360 –> 00:02:43,200
\nman and the importance of that.
\nAnd different little Nuggets <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:43,200 –> 00:02:45,920
\nthat I hadn’t heard anybody make
\nmentioned before of the <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:45,920 –> 00:02:49,240
\nsignificance behind that.
\nAnd looking at different <\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:49,240 –> 00:02:51,760
\nelements of the fact that
\nbecause Jesus was a man <\/p>\n

45
\n00:02:51,760 –> 00:02:57,320
\noriginally that he had, it just
\nwas different in the way that he<\/p>\n

46
\n00:02:57,320 –> 00:02:59,400
\nwas tempted.
\nAnd because he had to learn <\/p>\n

47
\n00:02:59,400 –> 00:03:03,880
\nobedience to God and battle
\nagainst his own human nature. <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:04,200 –> 00:03:06,800
\nMaking the significance of the
\nsacrifice that he actually <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:06,800 –> 00:03:10,920
\nmentioned in the first class,
\nwhich will have classes 1-2 and <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:10,920 –> 00:03:13,880
\nfour since class 3 is missing,
\nbut we’ll have the three classes<\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:13,880 –> 00:03:17,640
\nthat we do have added to good
\nChristophian talks extended if <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:17,640 –> 00:03:18,560
\nyou want to listen to all of
\nthem. <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:18,560 –> 00:03:22,600
\nAll three are excellent, and he
\neven mentions some of what he <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:22,600 –> 00:03:24,880
\ntalks about in class 3 at the
\nstart of class 4. <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:24,880 –> 00:03:28,080
\nSo you kind of get a little
\ntaste of what we’re missing, but<\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:28,080 –> 00:03:31,160
\nat least you kind of can get the
\nsense of the entire series. <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:31,720 –> 00:03:35,120
\nI found this to be a really
\npowerful class, especially the <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:35,120 –> 00:03:38,240
\nlast five to 10 minutes of this
\nclass. <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:38,400 –> 00:03:43,080
\nBrother Alfred does a little bit
\nof a, I know exactly how to call<\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:43,080 –> 00:03:44,960
\nit almost a monologue or sort of
\na. <\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:45,640 –> 00:03:49,120
\nWhat he’s sort of is surmising
\nis what could be the mindset of <\/p>\n

62
\n00:03:49,120 –> 00:03:52,960
\nChrist when it came to him
\nlearning obedience and the way <\/p>\n

63
\n00:03:52,960 –> 00:03:56,400
\nhe was approaching things when
\nit came to approaching God. <\/p>\n

64
\n00:03:56,760 –> 00:03:59,840
\nAnd I don’t know if it’s just
\nthe way that Brother Alfred <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:00,040 –> 00:04:03,200
\nspoke or the way that he had
\nwritten down the words that he <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:03,200 –> 00:04:07,920
\nwas saying as he provided them,
\nbut it just, it hit in a way <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:07,920 –> 00:04:10,240
\nthat felt very powerful and very
\ndifferent than I’ve heard in <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:10,240 –> 00:04:13,160
\nother scenarios.
\nSo I know it was one of the <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:13,160 –> 00:04:16,680
\nthings that I actually thought
\nabout recounting some of the <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:16,680 –> 00:04:21,000
\nwords that he said the next time
\nthat I am remembering Christ at <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:21,000 –> 00:04:23,200
\nthe memorial table because it
\njust kind of hit in a very <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:23,200 –> 00:04:24,960
\ndifferent way for me, at least
\nat least personally. <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:24,960 –> 00:04:28,120
\nAnd I hope that the entire
\nclass, the series, if you listen<\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:28,120 –> 00:04:31,960
\nto it on the extended podcast or
\nthe last five minutes of this <\/p>\n

75
\n00:04:32,160 –> 00:04:36,880
\nclass, have a impact on on you
\nand uplift you and encourage you<\/p>\n

76
\n00:04:36,880 –> 00:04:39,840
\nin your walk.
\nAgain, thank you to the sister <\/p>\n

77
\n00:04:39,840 –> 00:04:44,560
\nwho physically handed me a copy
\nas the suggestion for the <\/p>\n

78
\n00:04:44,560 –> 00:04:49,240
\npodcast and I hope that you all
\nenjoy it just as much and as I <\/p>\n

79
\n00:04:49,240 –> 00:04:52,000
\ndid so.
\nWith that, I will turn it over <\/p>\n

80
\n00:04:52,000 –> 00:04:55,400
\nto Brother Alfred Norris.
\nFor his class he learned <\/p>\n

81
\n00:04:55,400 –> 00:04:57,520
\nobedience by the things that he
\nsuffered. <\/p>\n

82
\n00:04:58,720 –> 00:05:03,080
\nI sometimes think we don’t fully
\nappreciate the benefits and <\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:03,080 –> 00:05:06,320
\nblessings in our understanding
\nof Scripture, particularly this <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:06,320 –> 00:05:09,600
\npresent topic.
\nWe stem from the fact that we do<\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:09,600 –> 00:05:11,600
\nnot believe in the doctrine of
\nthe Trinity. <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:13,200 –> 00:05:15,760
\nOur usual approach to that
\nsubject is to show quite <\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:15,760 –> 00:05:18,960
\nconvincingly from Scripture that
\nthe Lord our God is 1 Lord. <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:19,760 –> 00:05:22,880
\nThat there is one God the Father
\nand one Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n

89
\n00:05:23,520 –> 00:05:26,160
\nThat whenever the Lord Jesus
\nChrist and His Father are <\/p>\n

90
\n00:05:26,160 –> 00:05:30,280
\nmentioned together, the Lord
\nadopts or is given a subordinate<\/p>\n

91
\n00:05:30,280 –> 00:05:33,880
\nposition to His Father.
\nAnd that when the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n

92
\n00:05:33,880 –> 00:05:37,440
\nreturns to the earth and
\nconquers the nations, he will <\/p>\n

93
\n00:05:37,440 –> 00:05:41,280
\nremain in control until such
\ntime as He hath put all enemies <\/p>\n

94
\n00:05:41,280 –> 00:05:45,040
\nunder his feet.
\nAnd then, when it is said He <\/p>\n

95
\n00:05:45,040 –> 00:05:48,040
\nputteth all things under his
\nfeet, it is manifest that he is <\/p>\n

96
\n00:05:48,040 –> 00:05:51,880
\naccepted, which did put all
\nthings under him, that the Son <\/p>\n

97
\n00:05:51,880 –> 00:05:55,600
\nshall be subject to the Father,
\nthat God may be All in all. <\/p>\n

98
\n00:05:56,680 –> 00:06:00,240
\nSo we have an excellent starting
\nplatform for which to <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:00,240 –> 00:06:04,040
\ncontemplate what was done when
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ died for <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:04,040 –> 00:06:05,880
\nour sins according to the
\nScriptures. <\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:07,040 –> 00:06:10,280
\nWe start with one who is by his
\nown confession and in his own <\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:10,280 –> 00:06:14,840
\npleasure Son of God, who came to
\ndo His Father’s will, and who <\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:14,840 –> 00:06:19,760
\ndid nothing of Himself.
\nWe start with one, however, who <\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:19,760 –> 00:06:24,080
\nis unlike us in this important
\nparticular that his Father is <\/p>\n

105
\n00:06:24,080 –> 00:06:28,560
\nnot like our fathers, that he
\nhad no immediate human Father, <\/p>\n

106
\n00:06:29,120 –> 00:06:33,000
\nthat he became the being he was
\nborn as, because the Holy. <\/p>\n

107
\n00:06:33,000 –> 00:06:36,280
\nSpirit came upon his mother.
\nAnd the power of the Most High <\/p>\n

108
\n00:06:36,280 –> 00:06:40,720
\novershadowed her, so that for
\nthat reason her child could and <\/p>\n

109
\n00:06:40,720 –> 00:06:46,160
\nmust be called the Son of God.
\nNow they will rewrite that story<\/p>\n

110
\n00:06:46,760 –> 00:06:49,160
\nin the interest of the doctrine
\nof the Trinity, and they will <\/p>\n

111
\n00:06:49,160 –> 00:06:53,680
\nsay that the Lord Jesus Christ
\nwas but the manifestation. <\/p>\n

112
\n00:06:53,680 –> 00:06:57,320
\nIn flesh of God, eternally pre.
\nExistent. <\/p>\n

113
\n00:06:58,560 –> 00:07:01,280
\nThey will tell us that the birth
\nof the Lord Jesus Christ wasn’t <\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:01,280 –> 00:07:04,840
\nreally like what we understand
\nby our naive acceptance of Luke <\/p>\n

115
\n00:07:04,840 –> 00:07:08,600
\nchapter one, but was something
\nlike this invent problems for <\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:08,600 –> 00:07:12,920
\nthemselves in doing so, For they
\nsay God has always been a <\/p>\n

117
\n00:07:12,920 –> 00:07:16,120
\ntriune.
\nBeing and in that being there <\/p>\n

118
\n00:07:16,120 –> 00:07:18,760
\nare three.
\nFor one of a better term we call<\/p>\n

119
\n00:07:18,760 –> 00:07:23,240
\nit English persons, and that
\nthose persons are to be known as<\/p>\n

120
\n00:07:23,240 –> 00:07:28,360
\nGod the Father, God the Son, and
\nGod the Holy Ghost or Spirit. <\/p>\n

121
\n00:07:29,560 –> 00:07:34,400
\nAnd that it was long ages ago,
\nin the harmony of their divine <\/p>\n

122
\n00:07:34,400 –> 00:07:39,080
\ncouncils, that it was decided
\nthat person called God the Son, <\/p>\n

123
\n00:07:39,080 –> 00:07:42,400
\nshould come to the earth and
\nbecome also men. <\/p>\n

124
\n00:07:43,640 –> 00:07:46,440
\nThey do not, when they’re
\nspeaking carefully, speak of the<\/p>\n

125
\n00:07:46,440 –> 00:07:49,600
\nbirth of Christ, they speak of
\nHis incarnation. <\/p>\n

126
\n00:07:50,360 –> 00:07:53,920
\nHe’s putting on a flesh.
\nAnd they tell us that as far as <\/p>\n

127
\n00:07:53,920 –> 00:07:57,480
\nwe can understand such things,
\nthe real circumstances were that<\/p>\n

128
\n00:07:57,680 –> 00:08:01,440
\neternal God, the second person
\nof the Godhead, voluntarily <\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:01,440 –> 00:08:04,520
\nentered within the body of the
\nVirgin and took flesh from her <\/p>\n

130
\n00:08:04,520 –> 00:08:09,400
\nwomb and became also man.
\nSo what emerged into the <\/p>\n

131
\n00:08:09,400 –> 00:08:14,160
\ndaylight of publicity when the
\nLord was 30 human years old, was<\/p>\n

132
\n00:08:14,160 –> 00:08:17,840
\nsomebody whom, distastefully
\nthey sometimes call the God man,<\/p>\n

133
\n00:08:18,600 –> 00:08:23,640
\nno less God than he was man.
\nPerfectly both mount together in<\/p>\n

134
\n00:08:23,640 –> 00:08:27,560
\none being, and the choice of
\nboth, in that nothing could go <\/p>\n

135
\n00:08:27,560 –> 00:08:30,520
\nwrong with the God, and nothing
\ndid go wrong with his manhood. <\/p>\n

136
\n00:08:30,520 –> 00:08:35,440
\nAnd of course, by that day they
\nobliged themselves to admit when<\/p>\n

137
\n00:08:35,440 –> 00:08:38,960
\nthey are speaking candidly, that
\nthe Lord was not what the Bible <\/p>\n

138
\n00:08:38,960 –> 00:08:41,600
\nsays.
\nHe was made in all points like <\/p>\n

139
\n00:08:41,600 –> 00:08:45,680
\nunto his brethren, but he was
\nnot what the Bible says. <\/p>\n

140
\n00:08:45,680 –> 00:08:49,840
\nHe was tempted in all points,
\nlike as we are, yet without sin,<\/p>\n

141
\n00:08:51,000 –> 00:08:54,600
\nthat he did not undergo the
\nexperiences in needings of tight<\/p>\n

142
\n00:08:54,600 –> 00:09:00,440
\ntemptation that you and I do,
\nFor how could he, even though in<\/p>\n

143
\n00:09:00,440 –> 00:09:03,240
\nhis manhood?
\nHe was by his own choice weak <\/p>\n

144
\n00:09:03,840 –> 00:09:09,200
\nand frail, and capable of
\nsuffering and sorrow, as well as<\/p>\n

145
\n00:09:09,200 –> 00:09:11,960
\njoy and hunger, as well as
\nrepretion. <\/p>\n

146
\n00:09:12,560 –> 00:09:15,920
\nYet in all the things that
\nbelong to his manhood there lies<\/p>\n

147
\n00:09:16,240 –> 00:09:21,680
\nin control and unavoidable.
\nHis divinity would say He was, <\/p>\n

148
\n00:09:22,200 –> 00:09:27,440
\nis, and remains God.
\nAnd God, we know, cannot be <\/p>\n

149
\n00:09:27,440 –> 00:09:31,880
\ntempted with evil.
\nNeither tempteth he any man, And<\/p>\n

150
\n00:09:31,880 –> 00:09:35,880
\nit is an essential part of the
\nfact that it be a fact that <\/p>\n

151
\n00:09:35,960 –> 00:09:39,800
\nJesus Christ is God, that he
\nshould not be able to respond to<\/p>\n

152
\n00:09:39,800 –> 00:09:42,200
\nthe forces of evil.
\nThe temptation as we know the <\/p>\n

153
\n00:09:42,200 –> 00:09:46,560
\nWord could be no part of his
\nexperiences, if I can put it <\/p>\n

154
\n00:09:46,560 –> 00:09:50,840
\ncrudely, even if the manly side
\nnature of the nature of the Lord<\/p>\n

155
\n00:09:50,840 –> 00:09:54,360
\nJesus Christ had felt that he
\nurged to do what man likes to do<\/p>\n

156
\n00:09:54,480 –> 00:09:58,200
\nthe godless, I couldn’t have let
\nhim, for God cannot sin and that<\/p>\n

157
\n00:09:58,200 –> 00:10:01,360
\nman well complete, all of him
\nwas God and man. <\/p>\n

158
\n00:10:02,000 –> 00:10:05,960
\nSo logically and strictly and in
\nsome cases quite admittedly, <\/p>\n

159
\n00:10:06,440 –> 00:10:09,400
\nthey can’t accept the real
\ntemptations of the Lord <\/p>\n

160
\n00:10:10,000 –> 00:10:13,040
\nsufferings.
\nYes, death by some means that <\/p>\n

161
\n00:10:13,040 –> 00:10:16,640
\nnone of us can understand.
\nYes, that too they accept but <\/p>\n

162
\n00:10:16,640 –> 00:10:20,960
\ntemptations, in the sense that
\nhe might have yielded, that <\/p>\n

163
\n00:10:20,960 –> 00:10:24,280
\nyielding was possible.
\nThe battle had to be fought to <\/p>\n

164
\n00:10:24,280 –> 00:10:27,440
\nmaintain his righteousness.
\nThat cannot be a part of <\/p>\n

165
\n00:10:27,440 –> 00:10:31,320
\nTrinitarian teaching, but it can
\nbe a part of ours. <\/p>\n

166
\n00:10:32,320 –> 00:10:35,160
\nIt can and must be a part of
\nours. <\/p>\n

167
\n00:10:36,240 –> 00:10:39,200
\nThe great glory of our
\nunderstanding of the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n

168
\n00:10:39,200 –> 00:10:44,160
\nChrist, which they don’t like us
\nto have, is that we can stand <\/p>\n

169
\n00:10:44,160 –> 00:10:47,120
\nback and look.
\nBut him who sits now at the <\/p>\n

170
\n00:10:47,120 –> 00:10:50,760
\nright hand of God, with marks in
\nhand and feet inside, and <\/p>\n

171
\n00:10:50,760 –> 00:10:54,000
\npossibly the scars of the crown
\nof thorns, and the residue of <\/p>\n

172
\n00:10:54,000 –> 00:10:58,440
\nthe wheels wrought by the lashes
\nthat lashed his back, we can <\/p>\n

173
\n00:10:58,440 –> 00:11:01,760
\nlook at the Lord Jesus Christ
\nand triumph in him, and say thou<\/p>\n

174
\n00:11:01,760 –> 00:11:04,880
\nart worthy.
\nFor thou was slain, and has to <\/p>\n

175
\n00:11:04,880 –> 00:11:07,800
\nredeem this unto God by thy
\nblood, out of every kindred and <\/p>\n

176
\n00:11:07,800 –> 00:11:11,560
\ntribe and people and tongue, and
\nwe can acclaim his victory. <\/p>\n

177
\n00:11:12,240 –> 00:11:15,960
\nAnd so there sits one who
\nagainst all the human odds won. <\/p>\n

178
\n00:11:16,000 –> 00:11:19,840
\nThrough there sits one who, when
\nwe would many times, almost <\/p>\n

179
\n00:11:19,840 –> 00:11:21,920
\nalways in the same
\ncircumstances. <\/p>\n

180
\n00:11:22,040 –> 00:11:25,480
\nHave yielded ourselves to the
\ndesires of the flesh, kept them <\/p>\n

181
\n00:11:25,480 –> 00:11:29,240
\nat Bay, kept them tame, held
\nthem in subjection, won his <\/p>\n

182
\n00:11:29,240 –> 00:11:33,600
\ndaily battles for God, being
\ntempted in all points like as we<\/p>\n

183
\n00:11:33,600 –> 00:11:37,880
\nare, yet without sin.
\nWould you read with me the <\/p>\n

184
\n00:11:37,880 –> 00:11:44,400
\nletter to the Hebrews Chapter 5
\nmuch of the earlier part of this<\/p>\n

185
\n00:11:44,400 –> 00:11:45,840
\npassage?
\nWe shall not need that. <\/p>\n

186
\n00:11:45,840 –> 00:11:48,880
\nIt’s needed to give us a a
\nconnected recitation. <\/p>\n

187
\n00:11:48,880 –> 00:11:51,640
\nSo I’d like to begin at the
\nbeginning and go as far as verse<\/p>\n

188
\n00:11:51,640 –> 00:11:55,080
\n10, Hebrews 5, the 1st 10
\nverses. <\/p>\n

189
\n00:11:56,080 –> 00:12:00,320
\nFor every high priest taken from
\namong men is ordained from men <\/p>\n

190
\n00:12:00,320 –> 00:12:03,600
\nin things pertaining to God,
\nthat he may offer both gifts and<\/p>\n

191
\n00:12:03,600 –> 00:12:07,520
\nsacrifices for sins, who can
\nhave compassion or be ignorant, <\/p>\n

192
\n00:12:08,160 –> 00:12:09,720
\nand on them that are out of the
\nway. <\/p>\n

193
\n00:12:09,720 –> 00:12:15,040
\nFor that he himself also is
\ncompassed with infirmity, and by<\/p>\n

194
\n00:12:15,040 –> 00:12:19,080
\nreason thereof he ought, As for
\nthe people so also for himself, <\/p>\n

195
\n00:12:19,080 –> 00:12:22,760
\nto offer for sins.
\nAnd no man taketh dishonor upon <\/p>\n

196
\n00:12:22,760 –> 00:12:26,120
\nhimself, but he that is called
\nof God, as was Aaron. <\/p>\n

197
\n00:12:26,920 –> 00:12:30,200
\nSo also Christ glorified not
\nhimself to be made a high <\/p>\n

198
\n00:12:30,200 –> 00:12:34,360
\npriest, but he that said unto
\nhim, Thou art my son this day <\/p>\n

199
\n00:12:34,360 –> 00:12:37,720
\nhave I begotten thee, as he said
\nalso in another place. <\/p>\n

200
\n00:12:38,160 –> 00:12:42,440
\nNow the priest forever after the
\nhonor of Melchizedek, who, <\/p>\n

201
\n00:12:43,000 –> 00:12:47,960
\nthat’s Jesus, who in there is of
\nhis flesh, when he had offered <\/p>\n

202
\n00:12:47,960 –> 00:12:52,040
\nup prayers and supplications
\nwith strong crying and tears <\/p>\n

203
\n00:12:52,200 –> 00:12:55,760
\nunto him, that was able to save
\nhim from death, and was heard in<\/p>\n

204
\n00:12:55,760 –> 00:12:59,600
\nthat he feared though he were a
\nson, yet learned his obedience <\/p>\n

205
\n00:12:59,600 –> 00:13:04,200
\nby the things that he suffered.
\nAnd being made perfect, he <\/p>\n

206
\n00:13:04,200 –> 00:13:07,320
\nbecame the awful eternal
\nsalvation, and to all them that <\/p>\n

207
\n00:13:07,320 –> 00:13:09,880
\nobey him called of God and high
\npriest. <\/p>\n

208
\n00:13:09,880 –> 00:13:14,840
\nAfter the order of Melchizedek.
\nIn those messages, we begin with<\/p>\n

209
\n00:13:14,840 –> 00:13:18,480
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ preparing
\nfor and acquiring the office of <\/p>\n

210
\n00:13:18,480 –> 00:13:20,720
\npriesthood.
\nWe know. <\/p>\n

211
\n00:13:20,720 –> 00:13:22,160
\nThat.
\nHe know more. <\/p>\n

212
\n00:13:22,160 –> 00:13:26,080
\nThan anybody else took it upon
\nhimself without being asked that<\/p>\n

213
\n00:13:26,080 –> 00:13:28,760
\nhe, like Aaron, waited to be
\nasked before he did it. <\/p>\n

214
\n00:13:29,600 –> 00:13:32,720
\nAnd as God had appointed Aaron
\nfor the temporary office, <\/p>\n

215
\n00:13:32,720 –> 00:13:36,760
\ndischarged by himself and his
\nsuccessors as high priests over <\/p>\n

216
\n00:13:36,760 –> 00:13:40,960
\nTabernacle and then temple, so
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ bided the <\/p>\n

217
\n00:13:40,960 –> 00:13:43,600
\ntime.
\nTill the Lord declared it to be <\/p>\n

218
\n00:13:43,600 –> 00:13:47,360
\nright that the priesthood should
\nchange and accepted the office. <\/p>\n

219
\n00:13:47,360 –> 00:13:51,560
\nWhen it came to him, he did not
\nglorify himself to being a high <\/p>\n

220
\n00:13:51,560 –> 00:13:53,520
\npriest.
\nHe did not grasp that the office<\/p>\n

221
\n00:13:53,520 –> 00:13:57,480
\nof being a high priest, he did
\nwhat God had wanted him to do, <\/p>\n

222
\n00:13:57,600 –> 00:14:01,200
\nwhen beforehand he declared that
\nmy son this day have I begotten <\/p>\n

223
\n00:14:01,200 –> 00:14:04,880
\nthee, and again thou the priest
\nforever after the order of <\/p>\n

224
\n00:14:04,880 –> 00:14:07,440
\nMelchizedek.
\nAs with everything in his life, <\/p>\n

225
\n00:14:07,880 –> 00:14:11,880
\nthe Lord took what he was
\noffered by the one who offered <\/p>\n

226
\n00:14:11,880 –> 00:14:16,120
\nit, to do the will of the one
\nwho offered it, and became a <\/p>\n

227
\n00:14:16,120 –> 00:14:19,400
\nhigh priest for God in things
\npertaining to men. <\/p>\n

228
\n00:14:20,680 –> 00:14:25,320
\nNow the words that follow, that
\nwith strong crying and tears he <\/p>\n

229
\n00:14:25,320 –> 00:14:28,120
\ncalled on him, that was able to
\nsave him out of death, and was <\/p>\n

230
\n00:14:28,120 –> 00:14:30,440
\nheard for his godly fear.
\nThat’s the English revised <\/p>\n

231
\n00:14:30,440 –> 00:14:33,440
\nversion, revealed to us the
\ndepths of what the Lord must <\/p>\n

232
\n00:14:33,440 –> 00:14:37,720
\nsuffer, and the dungeon of
\nhopelessness into which he must <\/p>\n

233
\n00:14:37,720 –> 00:14:41,120
\nwillingly sink, if he would
\nbecome the one who is to be our <\/p>\n

234
\n00:14:41,120 –> 00:14:45,640
\nhigh Priest.
\nHe sobbed, saw tears that God <\/p>\n

235
\n00:14:45,640 –> 00:14:48,880
\nwould strengthen him to
\novercome, that the will of God <\/p>\n

236
\n00:14:48,880 –> 00:14:53,440
\nshould not fail in his hands,
\nthat he should I accept his <\/p>\n

237
\n00:14:53,440 –> 00:14:56,480
\ndeath in such a way that God
\nmight save him out of death, and<\/p>\n

238
\n00:14:57,160 –> 00:15:00,080
\nthat he might become our
\nperfected high priest. <\/p>\n

239
\n00:15:01,400 –> 00:15:05,240
\nThose words, though he were a
\nson, yet learned he obedience, <\/p>\n

240
\n00:15:05,560 –> 00:15:07,440
\nsee most as though they might
\nhave been written. <\/p>\n

241
\n00:15:07,440 –> 00:15:10,760
\nThen why should it not be so
\nwith the prescience of God, who <\/p>\n

242
\n00:15:10,760 –> 00:15:14,160
\ncould see all things from the
\nbeginning to provide an answer <\/p>\n

243
\n00:15:14,160 –> 00:15:18,880
\nthat cannot be gained, said for
\nthe Orthodox of our own day. <\/p>\n

244
\n00:15:19,920 –> 00:15:23,000
\nFor they would say, because he
\nwas a son, there could be no <\/p>\n

245
\n00:15:23,000 –> 00:15:26,920
\nsuffering of temptation, and he
\nwould says, though he were a <\/p>\n

246
\n00:15:26,920 –> 00:15:31,840
\nson, yet did he learn obedience
\nby the things that he suffered. <\/p>\n

247
\n00:15:32,680 –> 00:15:38,280
\nHe learned obedience the hard
\nway, as we would say, not your <\/p>\n

248
\n00:15:38,280 –> 00:15:42,800
\nkind of hard way and mine.
\nWhen we learn obedience to the <\/p>\n

249
\n00:15:42,800 –> 00:15:45,480
\nextent to which we do, we learn
\nit because we find out how <\/p>\n

250
\n00:15:45,480 –> 00:15:48,480
\npainful it was to disobey.
\nWe decided we’d rather not be <\/p>\n

251
\n00:15:48,480 –> 00:15:50,960
\nhurt like that again, and so we
\ndecide next time to do as we’re <\/p>\n

252
\n00:15:50,960 –> 00:15:53,800
\ntold.
\nBut the Lord was not like that. <\/p>\n

253
\n00:15:54,520 –> 00:15:58,920
\nHe was never disobedient, but He
\nwas never allowed, not ever <\/p>\n

254
\n00:15:58,920 –> 00:16:01,360
\nwanted to find it easy to be
\nobedient. <\/p>\n

255
\n00:16:02,080 –> 00:16:04,880
\nHe learned obedience by the
\nthings that he suffered, <\/p>\n

256
\n00:16:05,720 –> 00:16:10,600
\naccepted steadfastly the path of
\nduty, whatever it cost, was <\/p>\n

257
\n00:16:10,600 –> 00:16:13,480
\nprepared to endure the strong
\ncrying and tears to which he was<\/p>\n

258
\n00:16:13,480 –> 00:16:18,800
\ndriven by the need to suffer in
\nthe service of God, and did it <\/p>\n

259
\n00:16:18,800 –> 00:16:22,440
\nfaultlessly.
\nSuppose I asked you the <\/p>\n

260
\n00:16:22,440 –> 00:16:26,080
\nquestion, Did Jesus Christ live
\na perfect life? <\/p>\n

261
\n00:16:27,080 –> 00:16:31,040
\nUnless you had been forewarned,
\nI think you would all say yes. <\/p>\n

262
\n00:16:31,040 –> 00:16:34,800
\nOf course, if you’d heard me
\nperhaps others address this <\/p>\n

263
\n00:16:34,800 –> 00:16:39,080
\ntopic before, you might hesitate
\na little and say, ah, he lived a<\/p>\n

264
\n00:16:39,080 –> 00:16:42,680
\nlife in which he did no sin.
\nHe lived a thoughtless life. <\/p>\n

265
\n00:16:43,320 –> 00:16:46,920
\nHis behaviour from beginning to
\nend was spotless and I would say<\/p>\n

266
\n00:16:46,920 –> 00:16:49,400
\nyes, that was a better way of
\nputting it. <\/p>\n

267
\n00:16:50,640 –> 00:16:56,200
\nThe word being perfect, or more
\ncorrectly, being perfected, is <\/p>\n

268
\n00:16:56,200 –> 00:17:01,160
\nonly used, I think, four times
\nabout Jesus, once by him and <\/p>\n

269
\n00:17:01,160 –> 00:17:04,359
\nthree times about him.
\nThe one by him is in Luke <\/p>\n

270
\n00:17:04,359 –> 00:17:07,440
\nchapter 13.
\nWell, the advice to run away <\/p>\n

271
\n00:17:07,440 –> 00:17:08,880
\nfrom the possible wrath of
\nHerod. <\/p>\n

272
\n00:17:09,319 –> 00:17:12,720
\nHe stays where he is and says to
\nthem go tell that Fox, I do <\/p>\n

273
\n00:17:12,720 –> 00:17:17,960
\ncurse today and tomorrow and the
\nthird day I shall be perfected <\/p>\n

274
\n00:17:19,240 –> 00:17:21,440
\nand it seems.
\nThat there is an intentional <\/p>\n

275
\n00:17:21,440 –> 00:17:24,640
\ncomparison there between the
\nLord’s helping other people to <\/p>\n

276
\n00:17:24,640 –> 00:17:28,240
\nget their bodies right.
\nI do curse today and tomorrow, <\/p>\n

277
\n00:17:28,800 –> 00:17:32,520
\nand the Lord’s expectation that
\nshortly afterwards he will <\/p>\n

278
\n00:17:32,520 –> 00:17:35,840
\nhimself be perfected.
\nAs though to admit that there <\/p>\n

279
\n00:17:35,840 –> 00:17:40,080
\nwas something falling just short
\nof perfect in his present <\/p>\n

280
\n00:17:40,080 –> 00:17:43,600
\ncondition, I said conditioned,
\nnot behaviour. <\/p>\n

281
\n00:17:44,400 –> 00:17:47,360
\nHis behaviour was never.
\nShort of spotless, but I’ve <\/p>\n

282
\n00:17:47,360 –> 00:17:50,480
\nscold myself, I’ll try to not to
\nuse the word perfect about it, <\/p>\n

283
\n00:17:50,480 –> 00:17:54,200
\nbecause the Bible doesn’t.
\nThe Bible says the Lord expected<\/p>\n

284
\n00:17:54,200 –> 00:17:56,720
\nto be perfected.
\nNot that he claimed to be <\/p>\n

285
\n00:17:56,720 –> 00:17:59,680
\nperfect.
\nThe Bible says that the Lord, in<\/p>\n

286
\n00:17:59,680 –> 00:18:02,320
\nanswer to the rich young man,
\nsaid, why call this army good? <\/p>\n

287
\n00:18:02,320 –> 00:18:04,120
\nThere is no good at one that is
\ngone. <\/p>\n

288
\n00:18:05,640 –> 00:18:08,800
\nAnd that throughout his life the
\nLord looked forward to a time <\/p>\n

289
\n00:18:09,320 –> 00:18:13,480
\nwhen perfection would be His
\nthat needs perhaps a self <\/p>\n

290
\n00:18:13,520 –> 00:18:17,080
\ndefensive word of explanation.
\nI don’t think there is a thing <\/p>\n

291
\n00:18:17,080 –> 00:18:22,080
\nto be said against anything the
\nLord did or said or entertained <\/p>\n

292
\n00:18:22,280 –> 00:18:27,120
\npermanently in his thoughts.
\nEverything the Lord did and said<\/p>\n

293
\n00:18:27,120 –> 00:18:31,560
\nand allowed to take root in his
\nmind was without fault. <\/p>\n

294
\n00:18:31,960 –> 00:18:35,560
\nHe did no sin.
\nNeither was guile found in his <\/p>\n

295
\n00:18:35,560 –> 00:18:38,480
\nmouth.
\nBut you don’t say things like <\/p>\n

296
\n00:18:38,480 –> 00:18:41,040
\nthat about the Lord without
\nrealizing their implication. <\/p>\n

297
\n00:18:41,800 –> 00:18:45,040
\nTo say he did.
\nNo sin will be meaningless. <\/p>\n

298
\n00:18:45,080 –> 00:18:47,120
\nIf he couldn’t, could.
\nNot have done any sin. <\/p>\n

299
\n00:18:47,680 –> 00:18:51,080
\nTo say he behaved faultlessly is
\nno commendation to him. <\/p>\n

300
\n00:18:51,120 –> 00:18:54,720
\nHe was bound to be faultlessly
\nto say he did always those <\/p>\n

301
\n00:18:54,760 –> 00:18:56,760
\nthings that pleased his father,
\nas he said himself. <\/p>\n

302
\n00:18:57,480 –> 00:19:00,280
\nIt would be an idol to boast if
\nhe could do nothing else than <\/p>\n

303
\n00:19:00,280 –> 00:19:03,280
\nplease his father if the way he
\nwas built was such that pleasing<\/p>\n

304
\n00:19:03,280 –> 00:19:05,320
\nhis father was part of his make
\nup. <\/p>\n

305
\n00:19:06,520 –> 00:19:08,480
\nAll.
\nThose things like he did no sin,<\/p>\n

306
\n00:19:09,400 –> 00:19:13,400
\nthat no guile was found in his
\nmouth, that he did always those <\/p>\n

307
\n00:19:13,400 –> 00:19:16,880
\nthings that please his Father,
\nthat my need is to do the with <\/p>\n

308
\n00:19:16,880 –> 00:19:18,440
\nhim that sent me, and to finish
\nhis work. <\/p>\n

309
\n00:19:18,600 –> 00:19:22,200
\nThey all rest inevitably, upon
\nthe possibility that it could <\/p>\n

310
\n00:19:22,200 –> 00:19:26,120
\nhave been otherwise.
\nYou don’t commend a man for <\/p>\n

311
\n00:19:26,120 –> 00:19:30,320
\nbeing what he can’t help being.
\nYou don’t say what a wonderful <\/p>\n

312
\n00:19:30,320 –> 00:19:32,040
\nperson you must be.
\nYou were so handsome when you <\/p>\n

313
\n00:19:32,040 –> 00:19:34,320
\nwere born, which is quite
\nirrelevant. <\/p>\n

314
\n00:19:35,000 –> 00:19:38,120
\nYou say how well you have
\nbehaved in face of the <\/p>\n

315
\n00:19:38,120 –> 00:19:41,320
\npossibility that you might have
\nbehaved differently. <\/p>\n

316
\n00:19:42,960 –> 00:19:46,520
\nThe example I gave in the first
\ntalk that when the Lord insisted<\/p>\n

317
\n00:19:46,520 –> 00:19:49,920
\non being baptized, when he might
\nhave accepted John’s suggestions<\/p>\n

318
\n00:19:49,920 –> 00:19:53,880
\nto the contrary, he went into
\nand came out of the water, and <\/p>\n

319
\n00:19:53,880 –> 00:19:56,080
\nthe Spirit of God came to heaven
\nin the shape of a dog. <\/p>\n

320
\n00:19:56,320 –> 00:20:00,400
\nAnd God said yes.
\nAnd God said, This is my beloved<\/p>\n

321
\n00:20:00,400 –> 00:20:04,280
\nSon, in whom I am well pleased,
\nis an indication that that was a<\/p>\n

322
\n00:20:04,280 –> 00:20:08,520
\nvictory, that that was a
\ntemptation overcome, an <\/p>\n

323
\n00:20:08,520 –> 00:20:12,560
\nopportunity of declining from
\nGod’s service, detected and <\/p>\n

324
\n00:20:12,560 –> 00:20:16,440
\nperceived and rejected, so that
\nhe might do what God wished him <\/p>\n

325
\n00:20:16,440 –> 00:20:20,040
\nto do and do it flawlessly.
\nGod couldn’t usefully have said <\/p>\n

326
\n00:20:20,200 –> 00:20:23,600
\nI’m very pleased with him.
\nUnless he had done something <\/p>\n

327
\n00:20:23,600 –> 00:20:26,760
\nwhich warranted the divine
\npleasure, if you’re pleased <\/p>\n

328
\n00:20:26,760 –> 00:20:27,160
\nwith.
\nA. <\/p>\n

329
\n00:20:27,880 –> 00:20:29,760
\nA mechanical thing that can’t do
\nanything else. <\/p>\n

330
\n00:20:29,760 –> 00:20:32,440
\nIt’s because you’ve made it
\nrather nicely, not because of <\/p>\n

331
\n00:20:32,440 –> 00:20:36,160
\nany merits in the thing itself.
\n1 can be personally proud of a <\/p>\n

332
\n00:20:36,160 –> 00:20:39,960
\nrobot or any mechanical or
\nelectronic object one makes <\/p>\n

333
\n00:20:39,960 –> 00:20:42,960
\nbecause one has designed what is
\nneeded to make it and done it <\/p>\n

334
\n00:20:42,960 –> 00:20:45,320
\nright.
\nBut in this instance, there was <\/p>\n

335
\n00:20:45,320 –> 00:20:48,520
\nnothing robotic about it at all.
\nI am very pleased with the way <\/p>\n

336
\n00:20:48,520 –> 00:20:51,200
\nmy son behaves.
\nIs what the Father said. <\/p>\n

337
\n00:20:51,200 –> 00:20:54,640
\nAnd that must mean that he had
\nit within his power to behave <\/p>\n

338
\n00:20:54,640 –> 00:20:59,280
\ndifferently and didn’t do so.
\nI’ve only given you one of the <\/p>\n

339
\n00:20:59,280 –> 00:21:01,920
\nfour examples, the use of the
\nword perfect about Jesus. <\/p>\n

340
\n00:21:02,200 –> 00:21:03,800
\nI’ll skip quickly through the
\nother three. <\/p>\n

341
\n00:21:04,040 –> 00:21:07,560
\nThey’re all in the letter to the
\nHebrews, and perhaps you’ll know<\/p>\n

342
\n00:21:07,560 –> 00:21:09,200
\nthem so well that we won’t need
\nto turn them up. <\/p>\n

343
\n00:21:09,200 –> 00:21:14,240
\nBut one is in chapter 2 where we
\nread it became God in bringing <\/p>\n

344
\n00:21:14,240 –> 00:21:17,680
\nmany sons unto glory to make the
\ncaptain of their salvation <\/p>\n

345
\n00:21:17,680 –> 00:21:22,240
\nperfect through sufferings
\nnotice make him perfect. <\/p>\n

346
\n00:21:23,040 –> 00:21:26,080
\nYou start off with a captain of
\nour salvation who has not yet <\/p>\n

347
\n00:21:26,080 –> 00:21:29,280
\nbeen made perfect and you
\nlegitimately consents to be LED <\/p>\n

348
\n00:21:30,560 –> 00:21:32,840
\nthrough a path that involves his
\nsufferings and at the end of <\/p>\n

349
\n00:21:32,840 –> 00:21:36,560
\nthat he has been made perfect.
\nThat’s the meaning of the words,<\/p>\n

350
\n00:21:36,560 –> 00:21:38,560
\nwhatever the reality turns out
\nto be. <\/p>\n

351
\n00:21:39,640 –> 00:21:41,720
\nThe second is 1.
\nWe just read in Hebrews chapter <\/p>\n

352
\n00:21:41,720 –> 00:21:45,960
\n5 that though he were a.
\nSon yet learned the obedience by<\/p>\n

353
\n00:21:45,960 –> 00:21:50,040
\nthe things that he suffered, and
\nbeing made perfect, he became <\/p>\n

354
\n00:21:50,040 –> 00:21:53,160
\nthe author of eternal salvation
\ncalled of God and High Priest <\/p>\n

355
\n00:21:53,160 –> 00:21:57,200
\nafter the order of Melchizedek.
\nAnd there is, I think, there an <\/p>\n

356
\n00:21:57,200 –> 00:22:02,040
\nintended contrast between the
\nJewish high priests who being so<\/p>\n

357
\n00:22:02,040 –> 00:22:03,600
\ncompassed.
\nAbout with infirmities of their <\/p>\n

358
\n00:22:03,600 –> 00:22:08,080
\nown could with shamed eloquence
\nplead for their own sins and the<\/p>\n

359
\n00:22:08,080 –> 00:22:11,720
\nsins of others, when they went
\nbefore the throne of grace, in <\/p>\n

360
\n00:22:11,720 –> 00:22:14,440
\nthe shape of the most holy place
\nof the temple or Tabernacle. <\/p>\n

361
\n00:22:15,360 –> 00:22:19,960
\nAnd this person who, wherever he
\nstarted, had got to the point <\/p>\n

362
\n00:22:19,960 –> 00:22:23,680
\nwhere he had been made perfect
\nbefore he is called by God our <\/p>\n

363
\n00:22:23,680 –> 00:22:26,160
\nHigh priest.
\nThere’s much more to say about <\/p>\n

364
\n00:22:26,160 –> 00:22:29,720
\nthis in the last talk, but
\nperhaps we can anticipate to the<\/p>\n

365
\n00:22:29,720 –> 00:22:34,120
\nextent that when the Lord Jesus
\nChrist having been made perfect,<\/p>\n

366
\n00:22:34,120 –> 00:22:38,320
\nwhatever that mean, did go into
\nGod’s heavenly temple as our <\/p>\n

367
\n00:22:38,320 –> 00:22:41,520
\nhigh priest.
\nHe didn’t just spend a few hours<\/p>\n

368
\n00:22:41,520 –> 00:22:47,520
\nthere on one day of a year, but
\nhe stayed there and sat down the<\/p>\n

369
\n00:22:47,520 –> 00:22:51,280
\nright hand of God.
\nThat was where he belonged and <\/p>\n

370
\n00:22:51,280 –> 00:22:54,400
\nbelongs, having been made
\nperfect. <\/p>\n

371
\n00:22:55,960 –> 00:22:58,840
\nAnd the last example is in the
\n7th chapter, I think towards the<\/p>\n

372
\n00:22:58,840 –> 00:23:01,440
\nend.
\nWell, we are told the law <\/p>\n

373
\n00:23:01,440 –> 00:23:04,840
\nappointed high priests which
\nhave intermity, but God <\/p>\n

374
\n00:23:04,840 –> 00:23:09,000
\nappointed this one who has been
\nconsecrated forevermore. <\/p>\n

375
\n00:23:09,040 –> 00:23:12,120
\nWhat a pity, the King James
\nauthorized. <\/p>\n

376
\n00:23:12,120 –> 00:23:14,680
\nVersion said consecrated.
\nHe shouldn’t have done. <\/p>\n

377
\n00:23:14,680 –> 00:23:17,480
\nIt’s the same word.
\nIt’s the only other the last <\/p>\n

378
\n00:23:17,480 –> 00:23:20,480
\noccasion where the word
\nperfected is used about Jesus, <\/p>\n

379
\n00:23:21,160 –> 00:23:23,320
\nand the Word of God’s author
\nappoints our High Priest <\/p>\n

380
\n00:23:23,560 –> 00:23:26,800
\nperfected forevermore.
\nAnd you can see in broad <\/p>\n

381
\n00:23:26,800 –> 00:23:29,640
\noutlines the programme laid out.
\nYou start up with Jesus as he <\/p>\n

382
\n00:23:29,640 –> 00:23:33,040
\nwas born.
\nYou go through Jesus as he lives<\/p>\n

383
\n00:23:33,040 –> 00:23:36,080
\nand behaves.
\nYou come to Jesus of his death. <\/p>\n

384
\n00:23:36,920 –> 00:23:40,920
\nYou see that he having died,
\nLord Jesus Christ raised from <\/p>\n

385
\n00:23:40,920 –> 00:23:43,080
\nthe dead.
\nAnd ascending to the right hand <\/p>\n

386
\n00:23:43,080 –> 00:23:44,840
\nof God.
\nAnd he said there now he has <\/p>\n

387
\n00:23:44,840 –> 00:23:49,520
\nbeen perfected forevermore.
\nNothing can ever go wrong with <\/p>\n

388
\n00:23:49,520 –> 00:23:53,320
\nthe perfected Christ.
\nHow much more? <\/p>\n

389
\n00:23:53,320 –> 00:23:56,320
\nGlorious, that is, than to see
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ as the <\/p>\n

390
\n00:23:56,320 –> 00:24:00,240
\nTrinitarians, see him as the
\neternal God the Son, assuming <\/p>\n

391
\n00:24:00,240 –> 00:24:04,160
\nflesh as well.
\nBut still, being God beyond the <\/p>\n

392
\n00:24:04,160 –> 00:24:08,160
\nreach of sinning, our Lord was
\nnot beyond the reach of sinning <\/p>\n

393
\n00:24:08,160 –> 00:24:12,200
\nat all.
\nHe missed it at close quarters. <\/p>\n

394
\n00:24:13,120 –> 00:24:15,040
\nHe missed it because of who he
\nwas. <\/p>\n

395
\n00:24:16,080 –> 00:24:19,000
\nHe already be cast as the letter
\nto the Romans can say about him <\/p>\n

396
\n00:24:19,400 –> 00:24:22,040
\nwhat the law could not do in
\nthat it was weak through the <\/p>\n

397
\n00:24:22,040 –> 00:24:24,200
\nflesh.
\nGod, sending his own Son in the <\/p>\n

398
\n00:24:24,200 –> 00:24:28,840
\nlikeness of flesh of sin, and as
\nan offering for sin in the <\/p>\n

399
\n00:24:28,840 –> 00:24:32,560
\nflesh, condemned sin.
\nAnd I have purposely reworded <\/p>\n

400
\n00:24:32,560 –> 00:24:35,240
\nthat so that I didn’t have to
\nsay that I’m going to say it now<\/p>\n

401
\n00:24:35,240 –> 00:24:37,320
\nto dismiss it.
\nSin in the flesh. <\/p>\n

402
\n00:24:38,120 –> 00:24:42,840
\nIn the flesh he overcame sin.
\nHe defeated sin, because God had<\/p>\n

403
\n00:24:42,840 –> 00:24:46,920
\nsent him in the kind of person
\nwhich made that necessary. <\/p>\n

404
\n00:24:47,600 –> 00:24:52,000
\nThe Lord was in the likeness of
\nflesh and sin, just like it made<\/p>\n

405
\n00:24:52,000 –> 00:24:56,600
\nin all points like unto his
\nbrethren, and though he were a <\/p>\n

406
\n00:24:56,600 –> 00:24:57,800
\nson.
\nYet. <\/p>\n

407
\n00:24:57,800 –> 00:25:00,560
\nLearned he obedience by the
\nthings that he suffered. <\/p>\n

408
\n00:25:01,800 –> 00:25:03,520
\nWe must, of course, give
\nexamples. <\/p>\n

409
\n00:25:04,920 –> 00:25:07,360
\nHe was pour the Lord through
\nsome of the temptations of his <\/p>\n

410
\n00:25:07,360 –> 00:25:11,320
\nlife and see how keen they were
\nand stand back and marvel at his<\/p>\n

411
\n00:25:11,320 –> 00:25:14,440
\nvictories.
\nWe’ve done it already with his <\/p>\n

412
\n00:25:14,440 –> 00:25:17,760
\nbaptism.
\nWe are left from that to his <\/p>\n

413
\n00:25:17,760 –> 00:25:22,040
\ntemptations in the wilderness.
\nDescribed in similar terms in <\/p>\n

414
\n00:25:22,040 –> 00:25:25,240
\nMatthew chapter 4 and in Luke
\nchapter four. <\/p>\n

415
\n00:25:25,920 –> 00:25:28,960
\nWith one interesting difference,
\nthat they’re not given in the <\/p>\n

416
\n00:25:28,960 –> 00:25:30,640
\nsame order.
\nAnd somebody perhaps will tell <\/p>\n

417
\n00:25:30,640 –> 00:25:34,440
\nme why if I haven’t run the risk
\nof telling you why before this <\/p>\n

418
\n00:25:34,440 –> 00:25:38,560
\ntalk comes to an end.
\nBut in Matthew they are Turn <\/p>\n

419
\n00:25:38,560 –> 00:25:41,880
\nstones into bread.
\nThrow yourself down from this <\/p>\n

420
\n00:25:41,960 –> 00:25:45,200
\nexalted place.
\nWorship me and take all the <\/p>\n

421
\n00:25:45,200 –> 00:25:47,520
\nkingdoms of the world and then
\nLuke. <\/p>\n

422
\n00:25:47,520 –> 00:25:50,880
\nThe other two are reversed.
\nIt’s turned stones into bread. <\/p>\n

423
\n00:25:51,560 –> 00:25:55,840
\nWorship me and take the kingdoms
\nand throw yourself down from <\/p>\n

424
\n00:25:55,840 –> 00:25:59,240
\nthis exalted place.
\nThe Matthew 1 looks more <\/p>\n

425
\n00:25:59,480 –> 00:26:01,800
\nsequential, but the Lukeman is
\nthere. <\/p>\n

426
\n00:26:01,800 –> 00:26:05,640
\nIt’s not the same sequence.
\nI don’t believe they contradict.<\/p>\n

427
\n00:26:06,280 –> 00:26:09,120
\nAs I say, I may get succumbed to
\ntelling what I do think they do,<\/p>\n

428
\n00:26:09,640 –> 00:26:12,280
\nbut the moment all three are
\nthere, let’s look at them, shall<\/p>\n

429
\n00:26:12,280 –> 00:26:13,440
\nwe?
\nIn the Matthew Record. <\/p>\n

430
\n00:26:16,200 –> 00:26:19,480
\nMatthew chapter 4.
\nThe 1st 11 verses are the <\/p>\n

431
\n00:26:19,480 –> 00:26:22,160
\nrelevant verses, but we won’t
\nnecessarily read right through <\/p>\n

432
\n00:26:22,160 –> 00:26:26,880
\nit.
\nWe learned that Jesus was led by<\/p>\n

433
\n00:26:26,880 –> 00:26:29,640
\nthe Spirit into the wilderness
\nto be tempted by the devil. <\/p>\n

434
\n00:26:30,240 –> 00:26:33,200
\nOr in Matthew he was driven by
\nthe Spirit into the wilderness <\/p>\n

435
\n00:26:33,200 –> 00:26:34,960
\nto be tempted by the Devil.
\nThat was in Mark. <\/p>\n

436
\n00:26:34,960 –> 00:26:37,520
\nI’m sorry, that second one.
\nAs though the Lord. <\/p>\n

437
\n00:26:37,520 –> 00:26:43,600
\nFresh from the victory of his
\nbaptism, was obliged to meet his<\/p>\n

438
\n00:26:43,600 –> 00:26:47,640
\nnature in the Roar and deal with
\nthe temptations to which it <\/p>\n

439
\n00:26:47,880 –> 00:26:51,920
\nmight have succumbed.
\nNow I know there are alternative<\/p>\n

440
\n00:26:51,920 –> 00:26:55,200
\nviews of this passage.
\nAnd I know that those who are. <\/p>\n

441
\n00:26:55,200 –> 00:26:59,120
\nAnxious to safeguard the total
\nrighteousness of our Lord and I <\/p>\n

442
\n00:26:59,120 –> 00:27:01,160
\nwill yield to nobody.
\nAnd being anxious to do the same<\/p>\n

443
\n00:27:01,160 –> 00:27:04,920
\nthing, sometimes feel it their
\nduty to deny that He could have <\/p>\n

444
\n00:27:04,920 –> 00:27:08,160
\nthought about the things which I
\nhear suggested. <\/p>\n

445
\n00:27:09,360 –> 00:27:12,600
\nAnd for that reason amongst
\nothers, wish to take the record <\/p>\n

446
\n00:27:12,600 –> 00:27:17,320
\ncompletely literally and make
\nthat devil a person, so that <\/p>\n

447
\n00:27:17,320 –> 00:27:21,280
\nthere is a dialogue between
\nsomeone, whoever he is, or <\/p>\n

448
\n00:27:21,280 –> 00:27:25,440
\nsomeone’s whoever they are, who
\nspeak to the Lord and suggest a <\/p>\n

449
\n00:27:25,440 –> 00:27:29,680
\ncourse of action.
\nI know, too, that such pieces <\/p>\n

450
\n00:27:29,680 –> 00:27:33,480
\nmay go further, and they say it
\nwasn’t really temptation. <\/p>\n

451
\n00:27:33,480 –> 00:27:39,240
\nAs you and I know it, he’s
\nrather a trial, a test, a dry <\/p>\n

452
\n00:27:39,240 –> 00:27:42,840
\nrun to see if he really was the
\nSon of God proves you as they <\/p>\n

453
\n00:27:42,840 –> 00:27:45,000
\nsay.
\nThis person or person said that <\/p>\n

454
\n00:27:45,000 –> 00:27:47,800
\nyou really are the good son of
\nGod by doing the appropriate <\/p>\n

455
\n00:27:47,800 –> 00:27:49,920
\nsigns that make it impossible to
\ndeny it. <\/p>\n

456
\n00:27:50,600 –> 00:27:53,960
\nTurn stones into bread, throw
\nyourself under harm from the <\/p>\n

457
\n00:27:53,960 –> 00:27:57,400
\npinnacle of the temple, and
\nassume some kind of authority. <\/p>\n

458
\n00:27:57,400 –> 00:28:00,160
\nI’m not quite sure what this
\ncould be over the kingdoms of <\/p>\n

459
\n00:28:00,160 –> 00:28:01,720
\nthe earth.
\nIf you do that, we’ll be obliged<\/p>\n

460
\n00:28:01,720 –> 00:28:03,840
\nto believe in you.
\nThat’s what they say. <\/p>\n

461
\n00:28:04,600 –> 00:28:08,400
\nAnd the tests then become not
\ntests of His integrity and His <\/p>\n

462
\n00:28:08,400 –> 00:28:11,960
\nHoliness and His sinlessness,
\nbut tests of his office, which, <\/p>\n

463
\n00:28:11,960 –> 00:28:13,960
\nfor other reasons, the Lord
\nrejected. <\/p>\n

464
\n00:28:15,680 –> 00:28:18,280
\nI can’t see it that way, and I
\ndon’t want to. <\/p>\n

465
\n00:28:19,560 –> 00:28:23,160
\nI don’t mind if a voice from
\noutside spoke these words. <\/p>\n

466
\n00:28:23,960 –> 00:28:26,520
\nIf it is thought we must
\nconstrue Matthew poor and Luke <\/p>\n

467
\n00:28:26,520 –> 00:28:30,240
\nfor us, meaning that some other
\nperson than the Lord came and <\/p>\n

468
\n00:28:30,240 –> 00:28:32,880
\nspoke the words.
\nIf you are the Son of God, turn <\/p>\n

469
\n00:28:32,880 –> 00:28:35,840
\nthese stones into bread.
\nIf you are the Son of God, throw<\/p>\n

470
\n00:28:35,840 –> 00:28:39,480
\nyourself down from this
\npinnacle, and then all these <\/p>\n

471
\n00:28:39,480 –> 00:28:42,040
\nthings I will give you, you’ll
\nfall down and worship me. <\/p>\n

472
\n00:28:42,800 –> 00:28:44,520
\nIf it is found.
\nWe must accept that those were <\/p>\n

473
\n00:28:44,520 –> 00:28:47,920
\nspoken by somebody else.
\nI could live with those who <\/p>\n

474
\n00:28:47,920 –> 00:28:51,840
\naccepted it like that, but it
\ndoesn’t alter the case at all. <\/p>\n

475
\n00:28:52,680 –> 00:28:55,240
\nIt has its own problems in how
\nsuch a man, whoever he was, <\/p>\n

476
\n00:28:55,560 –> 00:28:57,840
\ncould have given the Lord all
\nthe kingdoms of the earth, or <\/p>\n

477
\n00:28:57,840 –> 00:29:00,000
\ncould have induced the Lord to
\nbelieve that he might have done.<\/p>\n

478
\n00:29:01,400 –> 00:29:04,880
\nBut provided that we accept that
\nwhat I’ve always spoken was <\/p>\n

479
\n00:29:04,880 –> 00:29:12,280
\nunderstood, perceived, felt, and
\nrejected, I have no problem <\/p>\n

480
\n00:29:12,280 –> 00:29:14,200
\nbelieving that somebody else
\nmight have said it. <\/p>\n

481
\n00:29:15,000 –> 00:29:18,720
\nBut whoever said it, when the
\nwords, if thou be the Son of <\/p>\n

482
\n00:29:18,720 –> 00:29:23,520
\nGod, turned these stones into
\nbread, the Lord would not only <\/p>\n

483
\n00:29:23,520 –> 00:29:25,640
\nhave known what he meant, which
\nhe obviously would. <\/p>\n

484
\n00:29:26,640 –> 00:29:28,920
\nNot only know.
\nThat he had the power to do it, <\/p>\n

485
\n00:29:29,960 –> 00:29:33,720
\nWho would have felt the urge to
\ndo it, will have met that urge <\/p>\n

486
\n00:29:33,720 –> 00:29:36,680
\nand defeated it and gained a
\nvictory. <\/p>\n

487
\n00:29:37,400 –> 00:29:39,640
\nThe record goes out of its way
\nto tell us it was very, very <\/p>\n

488
\n00:29:39,640 –> 00:29:44,040
\nhungry.
\nAfter a 40 days passed and then <\/p>\n

489
\n00:29:44,040 –> 00:29:47,240
\nhe should put it in that way.
\nWho needs me in no doubt that it<\/p>\n

490
\n00:29:47,240 –> 00:29:50,040
\nwas an appeal to that hunger?
\nYou don’t need to be hungry. <\/p>\n

491
\n00:29:50,920 –> 00:29:52,920
\nAll you have to do is to snap
\nyour fingers and there’ll be a <\/p>\n

492
\n00:29:52,920 –> 00:29:57,880
\nbanquet made.
\nOut of stones, whatever that was<\/p>\n

493
\n00:29:58,240 –> 00:30:00,640
\nby way of proving his office.
\nAnd it would have done something<\/p>\n

494
\n00:30:00,640 –> 00:30:04,560
\nabout that, I suppose.
\nIt was an urge to the Lord to do<\/p>\n

495
\n00:30:04,560 –> 00:30:09,560
\nthis totally unacceptable thing
\nof taking the powers he <\/p>\n

496
\n00:30:09,560 –> 00:30:13,480
\npossesses because he is Son of
\nGod and using them without <\/p>\n

497
\n00:30:13,480 –> 00:30:17,080
\npermission to ratify the hunger
\nhe suffered from because he is <\/p>\n

498
\n00:30:17,080 –> 00:30:22,840
\nSon of Man, turning God’s powers
\nto human usage gratuitously, <\/p>\n

499
\n00:30:23,280 –> 00:30:27,360
\nwithout so much as a bag.
\nYou leave and the Lord’s answer <\/p>\n

500
\n00:30:27,360 –> 00:30:29,560
\nto that it is written.
\nMan doth not live by bread <\/p>\n

501
\n00:30:29,560 –> 00:30:32,520
\nalone, but by every word that
\nproceedeth out of the mouth of <\/p>\n

502
\n00:30:32,520 –> 00:30:36,400
\nGod is an answer not just.
\nI won’t do it, but however <\/p>\n

503
\n00:30:36,400 –> 00:30:39,520
\ntempting it may be, it would be
\nincompatible with my <\/p>\n

504
\n00:30:39,520 –> 00:30:43,120
\nrelationship with God.
\nWas every word I must follow <\/p>\n

505
\n00:30:43,760 –> 00:30:47,520
\nWhose word is life.
\nInteresting that if you go back <\/p>\n

506
\n00:30:47,520 –> 00:30:49,880
\nto the part of Deuteronomy which
\nthe. <\/p>\n

507
\n00:30:49,880 –> 00:30:53,040
\nLord is there.
\nQuoted new light comes into its <\/p>\n

508
\n00:30:53,040 –> 00:30:55,360
\nmeaning.
\nThe Lord thy God said, Do with <\/p>\n

509
\n00:30:55,360 –> 00:30:58,200
\nmanner in the wilderness, said
\nMoses, Do thy might just know <\/p>\n

510
\n00:30:58,200 –> 00:31:01,240
\nthem, and do not live by bread
\nalone, but by every word that <\/p>\n

511
\n00:31:01,240 –> 00:31:02,720
\nproceedeth from the mouth of
\nGod. <\/p>\n

512
\n00:31:03,800 –> 00:31:05,880
\nGod short, seconded the cross of
\nnature. <\/p>\n

513
\n00:31:06,680 –> 00:31:10,720
\nWhen there was no food, the Lord
\ndid what had there. <\/p>\n

514
\n00:31:10,720 –> 00:31:13,560
\nBeen food have taken you hours
\nand days and weeks to do. <\/p>\n

515
\n00:31:14,600 –> 00:31:16,800
\nYou have sown the seed.
\nThe grain would have grown, the <\/p>\n

516
\n00:31:17,040 –> 00:31:20,360
\nthe shoots would have ripened,
\nthe ears would have ripened on <\/p>\n

517
\n00:31:20,360 –> 00:31:22,280
\nthe shoots.
\nYou would have harbited the <\/p>\n

518
\n00:31:22,280 –> 00:31:24,000
\ngrain.
\nYou would have taken away the <\/p>\n

519
\n00:31:24,000 –> 00:31:25,240
\nstalk.
\nYou’d have winnered away the <\/p>\n

520
\n00:31:25,240 –> 00:31:27,520
\nears.
\nYou’d have ground the grain. <\/p>\n

521
\n00:31:27,520 –> 00:31:30,120
\nYou will bake the flour, and
\nthen you would have been able to<\/p>\n

522
\n00:31:30,120 –> 00:31:32,800
\neat it.
\nBut the moment God says there’s <\/p>\n

523
\n00:31:32,800 –> 00:31:38,000
\nyour food thereby God proved his
\npower to feed in that and every <\/p>\n

524
\n00:31:38,000 –> 00:31:41,000
\nother way.
\nThe Lord Jesus Christ knew that <\/p>\n

525
\n00:31:41,800 –> 00:31:46,080
\nTo be faced with the possibility
\nof anticipating the need for <\/p>\n

526
\n00:31:46,080 –> 00:31:49,000
\nthat by using his own powers for
\nsomething he would not do, God <\/p>\n

527
\n00:31:49,000 –> 00:31:53,040
\nwill feed me when it pleases
\nHim, I’m sure, he said. <\/p>\n

528
\n00:31:53,720 –> 00:31:57,640
\nAnd having said it once, he
\ncould say it again, As for <\/p>\n

529
\n00:31:57,640 –> 00:31:59,360
\nexample when he talked to the.
\nWoman by the. <\/p>\n

530
\n00:31:59,360 –> 00:32:04,720
\nWell, in Samaria John chapter 4
\nand his disciples went on into <\/p>\n

531
\n00:32:04,720 –> 00:32:07,320
\nPsycho to buy bread and they
\ncame back and they said master <\/p>\n

532
\n00:32:07,320 –> 00:32:10,720
\neat.
\nAnd the Lord who was too busy to<\/p>\n

533
\n00:32:10,720 –> 00:32:14,400
\neat at that time, talking to a
\nwoman that was a Sinner and <\/p>\n

534
\n00:32:14,400 –> 00:32:18,560
\nseeking to assuage her sins,
\nsaid, I have meat to eat that <\/p>\n

535
\n00:32:18,560 –> 00:32:22,160
\nshe know not of my meat, is to
\ndo the will of him that sent me <\/p>\n

536
\n00:32:22,200 –> 00:32:25,040
\nto finish his work.
\nAnd I wouldn’t. <\/p>\n

537
\n00:32:25,040 –> 00:32:28,040
\nBe surprised if the Lord was
\nsaying they’re not just I’d <\/p>\n

538
\n00:32:28,040 –> 00:32:32,680
\nrather savour the will of God
\nthan gratify my human appetites,<\/p>\n

539
\n00:32:33,360 –> 00:32:37,400
\nWas also saying God can keep me
\nalive in any way that suits him <\/p>\n

540
\n00:32:38,040 –> 00:32:40,600
\nwhile I’m engaged in His work.
\nHe’s not critical. <\/p>\n

541
\n00:32:40,600 –> 00:32:44,000
\nI should eat just now.
\nI can turn to that when this <\/p>\n

542
\n00:32:44,000 –> 00:32:47,200
\npresent meal is over, doing the
\nwill of God. <\/p>\n

543
\n00:32:48,600 –> 00:32:51,080
\nIt’s a very.
\nLovely thing, that each <\/p>\n

544
\n00:32:51,080 –> 00:32:55,320
\ntemptation the Lord endured in
\nthe wilderness boy its fruits in<\/p>\n

545
\n00:32:55,320 –> 00:32:58,400
\nlater life.
\nAnd he who would not turn stones<\/p>\n

546
\n00:32:58,400 –> 00:33:02,920
\nto bread on his own account
\nwould not multiply food to take <\/p>\n

547
\n00:33:02,920 –> 00:33:05,680
\nhim through the journeys which
\nhe must endure in the Lord’s <\/p>\n

548
\n00:33:05,680 –> 00:33:08,720
\nservice, but would wait till
\nsomebody gave him a crust to <\/p>\n

549
\n00:33:08,720 –> 00:33:12,720
\neat, or rich women ministered to
\nHim of their substance. <\/p>\n

550
\n00:33:13,360 –> 00:33:16,880
\nOr in the feeding of the 5000,
\nhe and his disciples could pick <\/p>\n

551
\n00:33:16,880 –> 00:33:20,240
\nup trolls, basket full of the
\nscraps they’d left behind, and <\/p>\n

552
\n00:33:20,240 –> 00:33:24,160
\nmight it be take them home for
\nsupper, using what men had <\/p>\n

553
\n00:33:24,160 –> 00:33:28,080
\nrejected, who was rich and for
\nour sakes became poor. <\/p>\n

554
\n00:33:29,360 –> 00:33:32,160
\nSo we lose so.
\nMuch if we do not see that <\/p>\n

555
\n00:33:32,160 –> 00:33:36,680
\ntemptation as a temptation in
\nevery sense of the term, all its<\/p>\n

556
\n00:33:37,240 –> 00:33:41,600
\nattractions being plain to the
\nLord, being seen and known and <\/p>\n

557
\n00:33:41,680 –> 00:33:45,200
\nin the full knowledge of them
\nrejected, He don’t do any <\/p>\n

558
\n00:33:45,200 –> 00:33:47,960
\nservice to the Lord by imagine.
\nHe couldn’t have thought of <\/p>\n

559
\n00:33:47,960 –> 00:33:50,560
\nthings like that, because if he
\ncouldn’t have thought of them, <\/p>\n

560
\n00:33:50,560 –> 00:33:52,680
\nthey couldn’t have tempted him,
\nand he couldn’t have won a <\/p>\n

561
\n00:33:52,680 –> 00:33:54,800
\nvictory.
\nAnd so they could have been <\/p>\n

562
\n00:33:54,800 –> 00:33:57,320
\nthought about, and they were a
\ntemptation they would totally <\/p>\n

563
\n00:33:57,320 –> 00:33:59,520
\novercome.
\nAnd there’s a victory not down <\/p>\n

564
\n00:33:59,520 –> 00:34:02,440
\nto the Lord’s credit, that
\nwithout that he would never have<\/p>\n

565
\n00:34:02,440 –> 00:34:05,280
\nhad.
\nIt’s the same with the angels. <\/p>\n

566
\n00:34:06,000 –> 00:34:08,600
\nHow tempting it would have been,
\nhaving got to the pinnacle of <\/p>\n

567
\n00:34:08,600 –> 00:34:10,679
\nthe temple if he did literally
\nget there. <\/p>\n

568
\n00:34:12,159 –> 00:34:15,719
\nTo plunge himself down from that
\nwith absolute assurance that <\/p>\n

569
\n00:34:15,719 –> 00:34:18,120
\nhe’ll give his angels charge
\nconcerning thee, and in their <\/p>\n

570
\n00:34:18,120 –> 00:34:20,920
\nhands they shall bare thee up.
\nThis is anytime thou dash thy <\/p>\n

571
\n00:34:20,920 –> 00:34:23,600
\nfoot against a stone.
\nAnd throw himself down with an <\/p>\n

572
\n00:34:23,639 –> 00:34:27,320
\nadmiring multitude, gaping on
\nand wondering as he was safely <\/p>\n

573
\n00:34:27,320 –> 00:34:31,080
\nparachuted to the ground by the
\nangels that God sent to ensure <\/p>\n

574
\n00:34:31,080 –> 00:34:33,320
\nhis safety.
\nOh, it would have been a <\/p>\n

575
\n00:34:33,320 –> 00:34:37,280
\nwonderful opportunity of acting
\na drama before an appreciative <\/p>\n

576
\n00:34:37,280 –> 00:34:40,320
\nand gobbling multitude, and
\nhaving them follow him for the <\/p>\n

577
\n00:34:40,320 –> 00:34:44,880
\nwonders sake that he would not
\ndo that then strengthen. <\/p>\n

578
\n00:34:44,880 –> 00:34:46,560
\nHim I have.
\nNo doubt against every other <\/p>\n

579
\n00:34:46,560 –> 00:34:49,560
\noccasion to do related things
\nwhen they deserted him aside <\/p>\n

580
\n00:34:49,560 –> 00:34:51,520
\nfrom heaven, and they wouldn’t
\ngive them one. <\/p>\n

581
\n00:34:51,520 –> 00:34:55,960
\nIt’s the same with the kingdoms
\nof the world in a moment of <\/p>\n

582
\n00:34:55,960 –> 00:35:00,080
\ntime, which he saw.
\nI will repeat one thing about an<\/p>\n

583
\n00:35:00,080 –> 00:35:03,440
\nearlier exposition of that in
\norder to give publicity to the <\/p>\n

584
\n00:35:03,440 –> 00:35:07,000
\nmathematical acumen of our
\nchairman of today. <\/p>\n

585
\n00:35:07,680 –> 00:35:10,840
\nIt was some years ago and I
\nwanted to get a picture as to <\/p>\n

586
\n00:35:10,840 –> 00:35:15,720
\nhow far someone could see from a
\nreal high mountain on a clear <\/p>\n

587
\n00:35:15,720 –> 00:35:18,240
\nday if he could look around and
\nhis eyesight was good. <\/p>\n

588
\n00:35:19,080 –> 00:35:21,800
\nSo for the sake of the occasion,
\nI imported Mount Everest into <\/p>\n

589
\n00:35:21,800 –> 00:35:24,480
\nthe wilderness of Judea, which
\nwas the highest pinnacle I could<\/p>\n

590
\n00:35:24,480 –> 00:35:28,200
\nthink of, and approximated its
\nheight to 6 miles, which is not <\/p>\n

591
\n00:35:28,200 –> 00:35:31,080
\nquite right.
\nAnd then I told my audience that<\/p>\n

592
\n00:35:31,120 –> 00:35:33,960
\nif the Lord Jesus Christ were
\nthere, and he looked all around <\/p>\n

593
\n00:35:33,960 –> 00:35:36,960
\nhim and there was nothing in the
\nway, and his eyesight was <\/p>\n

594
\n00:35:36,960 –> 00:35:41,880
\nperfect, there was no quasi Los
\nAngeles smog you could have seen<\/p>\n

595
\n00:35:41,880 –> 00:35:45,120
\nfor 220 miles.
\nWe should have been less than <\/p>\n

596
\n00:35:45,120 –> 00:35:48,320
\n1\/4 of the way across the island
\nof Cyprus and, oh, maybe 1\/6 of <\/p>\n

597
\n00:35:48,320 –> 00:35:52,920
\nthe way to Rome.
\nAnd my diligent, accurate, <\/p>\n

598
\n00:35:52,960 –> 00:35:57,640
\nmathematical president, He
\nwasn’t president then came to us<\/p>\n

599
\n00:35:57,640 –> 00:36:02,120
\nand said, you’ve got it wrong.
\nI said, oh, he said yes, it <\/p>\n

600
\n00:36:02,120 –> 00:36:07,880
\nwasn’t 220 miles, it was 219.
\nWell, I was grateful for that. <\/p>\n

601
\n00:36:07,880 –> 00:36:09,640
\nI’ve actually watched it out
\nmyself before, and then I knew <\/p>\n

602
\n00:36:09,640 –> 00:36:11,840
\nthat.
\nI also knew that everyone isn’t <\/p>\n

603
\n00:36:11,840 –> 00:36:13,640
\nexactly 6 miles high.
\nSo it’s going to be a bit of a <\/p>\n

604
\n00:36:13,640 –> 00:36:16,480
\nguess anyhow.
\nBut the important thing is that <\/p>\n

605
\n00:36:16,480 –> 00:36:19,000
\nif you’re seeing with your own
\neyes what can be seen from any <\/p>\n

606
\n00:36:19,000 –> 00:36:23,280
\nmountain, however high, you
\ncouldn’t from the highest of <\/p>\n

607
\n00:36:23,280 –> 00:36:27,040
\nthem all see further than about
\n1\/6 of the way to Rome and <\/p>\n

608
\n00:36:27,040 –> 00:36:27,680
\nthough.
\nYou couldn’t. <\/p>\n

609
\n00:36:27,680 –> 00:36:30,120
\nWith your own unaided eyes,
\nyou’ve seen anything like all <\/p>\n

610
\n00:36:30,120 –> 00:36:31,640
\nthe kingdoms of the world, of
\nthe glory of them. <\/p>\n

611
\n00:36:31,800 –> 00:36:33,400
\nYou couldn’t see their capital
\neven. <\/p>\n

612
\n00:36:34,440 –> 00:36:37,000
\nBut it doesn’t matter.
\nBy 1 means or another, the Lord <\/p>\n

613
\n00:36:37,000 –> 00:36:40,240
\nupon his high mountain saw
\nclearly the kingdoms of the <\/p>\n

614
\n00:36:40,240 –> 00:36:43,120
\nearth and the glory of them as.
\nClear. <\/p>\n

615
\n00:36:43,120 –> 00:36:45,600
\nAs Ezekiel, upon the very high
\nmountain of chapter 40 of his <\/p>\n

616
\n00:36:45,600 –> 00:36:49,760
\nbook, saw the frame of the city
\nof Jerusalem as clearly as John <\/p>\n

617
\n00:36:49,760 –> 00:36:53,440
\nin the vision of chapter 21 was
\nput on his high mountain, and <\/p>\n

618
\n00:36:53,440 –> 00:36:55,800
\nsaw the new Jerusalem coming
\ndown from God out of the heaven <\/p>\n

619
\n00:36:56,840 –> 00:36:59,320
\nthat the Lord saw.
\nIn whatever world the Lord does <\/p>\n

620
\n00:36:59,320 –> 00:37:01,880
\nsee things, and was given the
\nopportunity. <\/p>\n

621
\n00:37:02,040 –> 00:37:04,080
\nTake it, take it now take it the
\nquick way. <\/p>\n

622
\n00:37:04,720 –> 00:37:08,920
\nDon’t worry about the sufferings
\nand declined to do so. <\/p>\n

623
\n00:37:09,520 –> 00:37:12,600
\nThou shalt worship the Lord thy
\nGod, and him alone shalt thou <\/p>\n

624
\n00:37:12,600 –> 00:37:15,280
\nserve.
\nThat must be a great strength to<\/p>\n

625
\n00:37:15,280 –> 00:37:18,040
\nhim when they came and tried to
\ntake him by force and make him a<\/p>\n

626
\n00:37:18,040 –> 00:37:19,760
\nking after the feeding of the
\n5000. <\/p>\n

627
\n00:37:20,920 –> 00:37:23,880
\nHe must with the second case,
\nhave been a great precedent for <\/p>\n

628
\n00:37:23,880 –> 00:37:25,720
\nhim.
\nWhen later, as he came mounted <\/p>\n

629
\n00:37:25,720 –> 00:37:28,640
\nupon a donkey through the walls
\nof Jerusalem, they spread their <\/p>\n

630
\n00:37:28,640 –> 00:37:31,640
\ngarments and their palm these in
\nthe way, and called Hosanna in <\/p>\n

631
\n00:37:31,640 –> 00:37:34,960
\nthe highest Blessed be the
\nKingdom of David, blessed be he <\/p>\n

632
\n00:37:34,960 –> 00:37:38,240
\nthat cometh in the name of the
\nLord on all three. <\/p>\n

633
\n00:37:38,240 –> 00:37:39,920
\nOccasions.
\nHe rejected the kingdoms in the <\/p>\n

634
\n00:37:39,920 –> 00:37:42,880
\nterms in which they offered it.
\nMy Kingdom is not of this world.<\/p>\n

635
\n00:37:43,560 –> 00:37:45,920
\nIf my Kingdom were of this
\nworld, then would my servants <\/p>\n

636
\n00:37:45,920 –> 00:37:48,880
\nfight?
\nSo whatever you think about the.<\/p>\n

637
\n00:37:48,880 –> 00:37:51,440
\nMechanism whereby the Lord was
\ntempted in the wilderness. <\/p>\n

638
\n00:37:51,640 –> 00:37:54,920
\nDon’t plead a little attempt to
\nwhittle away its temptation. <\/p>\n

639
\n00:37:55,480 –> 00:37:57,240
\nFor if you do, you whittle away
\nthe victory. <\/p>\n

640
\n00:37:57,920 –> 00:38:01,800
\nYou can’t see the Lord’s utter
\novercoming of the things of this<\/p>\n

641
\n00:38:01,800 –> 00:38:05,120
\nlife which He could savor
\nbecause He came in the likeness <\/p>\n

642
\n00:38:05,160 –> 00:38:08,480
\nflesh of sin.
\nHe learned the videos by the. <\/p>\n

643
\n00:38:08,480 –> 00:38:11,000
\nThings that he suffered.
\nSuffered from the enemies that <\/p>\n

644
\n00:38:11,000 –> 00:38:12,960
\nwouldn’t believe in him.
\nSuffer from those who mocked <\/p>\n

645
\n00:38:12,960 –> 00:38:16,280
\nhim, Suffered from the hunger.
\nAnd thirst and sorrow that came <\/p>\n

646
\n00:38:16,280 –> 00:38:18,720
\nto him and suffered ultimately
\nupon the cross. <\/p>\n

647
\n00:38:19,160 –> 00:38:22,120
\nThe Lord’s obedience was hard,
\nwon every inch of the way <\/p>\n

648
\n00:38:22,680 –> 00:38:26,080
\nagainst every possible
\ntemptation, and yielded not a <\/p>\n

649
\n00:38:26,080 –> 00:38:28,600
\nwit.
\nI said there were others. <\/p>\n

650
\n00:38:29,600 –> 00:38:32,520
\nOf course there were.
\nIt would have been a temptation,<\/p>\n

651
\n00:38:32,520 –> 00:38:35,640
\nwouldn’t it, when the sons of
\nZebedee said to him. <\/p>\n

652
\n00:38:35,960 –> 00:38:37,800
\nLook at those horrible.
\nSamaritans, it won’t give you a <\/p>\n

653
\n00:38:37,800 –> 00:38:39,880
\nhome for the night just because
\nyou’re going to Jerusalem. <\/p>\n

654
\n00:38:40,040 –> 00:38:42,880
\nShall we destroy them?
\nShall we call down fire from <\/p>\n

655
\n00:38:42,880 –> 00:38:44,600
\nheaven and consume them as
\nElijah did? <\/p>\n

656
\n00:38:45,560 –> 00:38:49,960
\nLord must have known the
\nfeelings inside the heart of <\/p>\n

657
\n00:38:49,960 –> 00:38:54,200
\nthose who come in flesh of sin,
\nwho want vengeance and redress, <\/p>\n

658
\n00:38:54,760 –> 00:38:57,000
\nso he must have.
\nFought that and answered it for <\/p>\n

659
\n00:38:57,000 –> 00:39:00,400
\nhimself before he said to them,
\nYou know not what spirit you are<\/p>\n

660
\n00:39:00,400 –> 00:39:02,080
\nof.
\nThe Son of man has not come to <\/p>\n

661
\n00:39:02,080 –> 00:39:03,920
\ndestroy man’s life, but to save
\nthem. <\/p>\n

662
\n00:39:03,920 –> 00:39:07,280
\nThere would have been temptation
\nof some kind when they said get <\/p>\n

663
\n00:39:07,560 –> 00:39:09,800
\nout of this place, go hell
\nlooking to kill you. <\/p>\n

664
\n00:39:10,320 –> 00:39:13,480
\nUntil he stayed where he was.
\nThere must have been temptation.<\/p>\n

665
\n00:39:13,480 –> 00:39:15,920
\nWhen they said, let Christ the
\nKing of Israel come down from <\/p>\n

666
\n00:39:15,920 –> 00:39:19,160
\nthe cross, and he didn’t take
\nthe opportunity, he might have <\/p>\n

667
\n00:39:19,160 –> 00:39:21,320
\ndone so.
\nThere must have been temptation <\/p>\n

668
\n00:39:21,320 –> 00:39:24,680
\nwhen Peters obviously failed
\nwith his one single blade in the<\/p>\n

669
\n00:39:24,680 –> 00:39:27,440
\nGarden of Gethsemane, and the
\nLord could remind him up there <\/p>\n

670
\n00:39:27,440 –> 00:39:30,000
\nthere are more than 12 legions
\nof angels I could have done if I<\/p>\n

671
\n00:39:30,000 –> 00:39:34,720
\nwanted to save me from the
\ndunes, and in not using them. <\/p>\n

672
\n00:39:35,200 –> 00:39:39,440
\nHe must have decided not to use
\nthem, maintain this decision not<\/p>\n

673
\n00:39:39,440 –> 00:39:43,080
\nto use them, refused to make
\ntake advantage of the powers <\/p>\n

674
\n00:39:43,080 –> 00:39:46,520
\nthat were his, that is face
\ntemptation, and beaten. <\/p>\n

675
\n00:39:46,520 –> 00:39:50,600
\nIt once referred to one actual
\nexample and one well, they’re <\/p>\n

676
\n00:39:50,600 –> 00:39:53,840
\nreally both examples of the way
\nin which the Lord’s faced and <\/p>\n

677
\n00:39:53,840 –> 00:39:56,680
\ndefeated temptation.
\nThe 1st I’ll take from John <\/p>\n

678
\n00:39:56,680 –> 00:40:01,680
\nchapter 12.
\nI don’t know why more. <\/p>\n

679
\n00:40:01,680 –> 00:40:03,760
\nUse isn’t made of this because
\nit doesn’t. <\/p>\n

680
\n00:40:04,400 –> 00:40:07,240
\nIt does something that needs to
\nbe done about the temptation of <\/p>\n

681
\n00:40:07,240 –> 00:40:09,520
\nthe Lord.
\nAnd I don’t think it can be. <\/p>\n

682
\n00:40:09,520 –> 00:40:14,920
\nAgain said in John chapter 12,
\nverse 25. <\/p>\n

683
\n00:40:14,920 –> 00:40:19,920
\nThe Lord in verse 24 indeed
\ncompares his own life, and the <\/p>\n

684
\n00:40:19,920 –> 00:40:22,840
\nfruits of it to a grain of
\nwheat, falling into the ground <\/p>\n

685
\n00:40:22,840 –> 00:40:25,720
\nand dying, and then emerging
\nfrom its death with abundant <\/p>\n

686
\n00:40:25,720 –> 00:40:29,000
\nfruitfulness.
\nAnd he sees him that the death <\/p>\n

687
\n00:40:29,000 –> 00:40:32,720
\nis shortly going to die, as it
\nwere, reminds himself of it, <\/p>\n

688
\n00:40:32,720 –> 00:40:36,920
\ncomes, brings it freshly to his
\nmind, opens his diary, and sees <\/p>\n

689
\n00:40:36,960 –> 00:40:40,240
\nwhat he’s going to have to do.
\nAnd by that very. <\/p>\n

690
\n00:40:40,240 –> 00:40:43,160
\nFact, He’s reminded of what that
\nsuffering will be and how hard <\/p>\n

691
\n00:40:43,160 –> 00:40:48,680
\nit will be to overcome.
\nBut he says in verse 27, Now is <\/p>\n

692
\n00:40:48,680 –> 00:40:53,440
\nmy soul troubled.
\nAnd what shall I say, Father? <\/p>\n

693
\n00:40:53,440 –> 00:40:56,080
\nSave me from this hour.
\nLook for this purpose. <\/p>\n

694
\n00:40:56,080 –> 00:41:00,000
\nGo around to this hour, Father.
\nGlorify thy name. <\/p>\n

695
\n00:41:01,400 –> 00:41:03,280
\nNow, I’m sure there were plenty
\nof people listening when the <\/p>\n

696
\n00:41:03,280 –> 00:41:06,240
\nLord said that, but he wasn’t
\ntalking, as it were, to an <\/p>\n

697
\n00:41:06,240 –> 00:41:08,880
\naudience.
\nHe was like laying bare his <\/p>\n

698
\n00:41:08,880 –> 00:41:12,320
\ninmost feelings.
\nBut as death loomed so close <\/p>\n

699
\n00:41:12,320 –> 00:41:15,000
\nbefore him, he confessed to what
\nit felt like. <\/p>\n

700
\n00:41:15,760 –> 00:41:21,000
\nNow is my soul troubled?
\nThere are two things I might <\/p>\n

701
\n00:41:21,000 –> 00:41:24,120
\nsay.
\nOne is Father saved me from this<\/p>\n

702
\n00:41:24,120 –> 00:41:26,360
\nhour.
\nThe other I’ll come to in a <\/p>\n

703
\n00:41:26,360 –> 00:41:30,520
\nmoment, but the Lord should be
\nable to enunciate those words, <\/p>\n

704
\n00:41:30,520 –> 00:41:35,640
\nshows that he could feel the
\npossibility of saying that, see <\/p>\n

705
\n00:41:35,640 –> 00:41:40,040
\nthe human desirability of saying
\nit, view it as an escape from <\/p>\n

706
\n00:41:40,040 –> 00:41:43,280
\nthe troublings of his soul.
\nIs that the way I will take? <\/p>\n

707
\n00:41:43,800 –> 00:41:46,880
\nHe asks.
\nAnd then he answers himself and <\/p>\n

708
\n00:41:46,880 –> 00:41:50,320
\nsays But This is why I’m.
\nHere, that’s the purpose of <\/p>\n

709
\n00:41:50,320 –> 00:41:52,360
\nwhich I came.
\nIf I were to say that, that <\/p>\n

710
\n00:41:52,360 –> 00:41:54,120
\nwould frustrate the purposes of
\nGod. <\/p>\n

711
\n00:41:54,800 –> 00:41:57,760
\nAnd as it were, I won’t do it.
\nThis is what I will say, and I <\/p>\n

712
\n00:41:57,760 –> 00:42:00,400
\nwill endure the sufferings and
\nthe troublings, and let the <\/p>\n

713
\n00:42:00,400 –> 00:42:02,560
\nFather lead me.
\nIn so doing, I will leave my <\/p>\n

714
\n00:42:02,560 –> 00:42:06,120
\ndeath in His hands.
\nI will put away the last urge to<\/p>\n

715
\n00:42:06,120 –> 00:42:10,480
\ngo any other way than His.
\nI will glorify His name by <\/p>\n

716
\n00:42:10,480 –> 00:42:13,760
\nputting away all the rebellious
\nand proud desires of the frack <\/p>\n

717
\n00:42:13,760 –> 00:42:17,120
\npledge.
\nI will die that the Father’s <\/p>\n

718
\n00:42:17,120 –> 00:42:20,920
\nglory in my unbroken
\nrighteousness shall be fully <\/p>\n

719
\n00:42:20,920 –> 00:42:23,760
\nestablished.
\nAnd when the Father said in <\/p>\n

720
\n00:42:23,760 –> 00:42:27,760
\nreply to, that I have both
\nglorified it, glorified my name,<\/p>\n

721
\n00:42:28,320 –> 00:42:31,760
\nand I will glorify it again,
\nwhatever ignorant people <\/p>\n

722
\n00:42:31,760 –> 00:42:36,080
\nstanding by might think about
\nit, or some said it thunders the<\/p>\n

723
\n00:42:36,080 –> 00:42:38,640
\nother said, an Angel spoke to
\nhim. <\/p>\n

724
\n00:42:39,240 –> 00:42:41,520
\nThe Lord knew that the Father,
\nwho was well pleased with his <\/p>\n

725
\n00:42:41,520 –> 00:42:44,840
\nbaptism some years earlier, was
\nnow well pleased with his <\/p>\n

726
\n00:42:44,840 –> 00:42:48,400
\nresignation and surrender again,
\nwould not fail him when called <\/p>\n

727
\n00:42:48,400 –> 00:42:50,600
\nupon, and will establish his
\nglory. <\/p>\n

728
\n00:42:50,600 –> 00:42:54,120
\nWhen the work succeeded, the
\nLord died willingly. <\/p>\n

729
\n00:42:54,920 –> 00:42:57,680
\nBut who was the cup He asked to
\npass from him, if it were <\/p>\n

730
\n00:42:57,680 –> 00:43:00,560
\npossible, when he prayed those
\nwords in the garden? <\/p>\n

731
\n00:43:01,160 –> 00:43:03,840
\nFather, if it be possible, let
\nthis cup pass from me. <\/p>\n

732
\n00:43:04,240 –> 00:43:06,760
\nNevertheless, not my will, but
\nthine be done. <\/p>\n

733
\n00:43:07,360 –> 00:43:10,200
\nHis first desire was that God’s
\nwill should be paramount. <\/p>\n

734
\n00:43:10,640 –> 00:43:12,720
\nNo human will should interfere
\nwith it. <\/p>\n

735
\n00:43:13,480 –> 00:43:16,640
\nHe may have wanted, perhaps,
\nthat the Father should remain <\/p>\n

736
\n00:43:16,640 –> 00:43:20,120
\nwith him to the end.
\nHe should face death with his <\/p>\n

737
\n00:43:20,120 –> 00:43:23,800
\nhand in the hand of the one who
\nsuckered him, for there should <\/p>\n

738
\n00:43:23,800 –> 00:43:27,800
\nbe no period of desolation.
\nIt would seem that the Angel who<\/p>\n

739
\n00:43:27,800 –> 00:43:31,160
\nappeared to strengthen him
\nshowed to him that, however deep<\/p>\n

740
\n00:43:31,160 –> 00:43:34,440
\nand great and loving the
\nFather’s concern, even that <\/p>\n

741
\n00:43:34,440 –> 00:43:37,440
\nshould be endured.
\nThis separation from his father,<\/p>\n

742
\n00:43:37,960 –> 00:43:41,400
\nto make his death to sin
\ncomplete, to cause him willingly<\/p>\n

743
\n00:43:41,400 –> 00:43:46,520
\nto die as a criminal might die
\nto be hung, as Deuteronomy had <\/p>\n

744
\n00:43:46,520 –> 00:43:50,440
\nput it, upon a tree, Behold be.
\nTaken down that day. <\/p>\n

745
\n00:43:51,680 –> 00:43:54,520
\nSo there was at that stage run
\nfrom his lips to cry. <\/p>\n

746
\n00:43:54,760 –> 00:44:00,040
\nMy God, my God, why hast thou
\nforsaken, not questioning the <\/p>\n

747
\n00:44:00,040 –> 00:44:04,720
\nreason, but finding so painful
\nthe fact that the cry could not <\/p>\n

748
\n00:44:04,720 –> 00:44:08,160
\nbe suppressed?
\nHow dreadful is it to die alone?<\/p>\n

749
\n00:44:08,240 –> 00:44:11,320
\nHe said.
\nSo In the darkness that fell <\/p>\n

750
\n00:44:11,320 –> 00:44:15,880
\nupon the earth, the Lord endured
\nhis sufferings in silence and in<\/p>\n

751
\n00:44:15,880 –> 00:44:20,200
\nsadness and in separation, until
\nat last the time appointed came.<\/p>\n

752
\n00:44:20,840 –> 00:44:25,880
\nAnd seeking not to continue in
\nthis now fast ebbing life, he <\/p>\n

753
\n00:44:25,880 –> 00:44:28,840
\nwillingly gave it up.
\nHe gave up the Spirit. <\/p>\n

754
\n00:44:29,160 –> 00:44:33,080
\nHaving cried, it is finished.
\nFather, into thy hands. <\/p>\n

755
\n00:44:33,080 –> 00:44:37,040
\nI commend my spirit as though he
\nflung out into the darkness the <\/p>\n

756
\n00:44:37,040 –> 00:44:40,080
\nlife that he had carried,
\nknowing that there was one there<\/p>\n

757
\n00:44:40,080 –> 00:44:44,960
\nwho, however little felt now was
\nstill waiting, watching, loving,<\/p>\n

758
\n00:44:45,480 –> 00:44:48,400
\nready to help.
\nInto thy hands I commend my <\/p>\n

759
\n00:44:48,400 –> 00:44:51,000
\nspirit.
\nHis death was placed in God’s <\/p>\n

760
\n00:44:51,000 –> 00:44:53,320
\nhand.
\nHis life in God’s mercy and <\/p>\n

761
\n00:44:53,320 –> 00:44:58,080
\nfaithfulness he became obedient
\nunto death, even the death of <\/p>\n

762
\n00:44:58,080 –> 00:45:01,080
\nthe cross.
\nNow the Lord’s surrender could <\/p>\n

763
\n00:45:01,080 –> 00:45:04,000
\nnever be reversed.
\nNow it’s last period have been <\/p>\n

764
\n00:45:04,000 –> 00:45:07,120
\nput in place.
\nNow the Lord would rest in peace<\/p>\n

765
\n00:45:07,120 –> 00:45:12,000
\nand in purity until that time so
\nvery short ahead, and the Lord <\/p>\n

766
\n00:45:12,000 –> 00:45:15,080
\nwould raise him from the dead.
\nAll had been surrendered. <\/p>\n

767
\n00:45:15,680 –> 00:45:18,640
\nAll might now without peril to
\nGod’s glory be granted. <\/p>\n

768
\n00:45:19,160 –> 00:45:23,680
\nGod in Jesus will be All in all.
\nWherefore God also hath highly <\/p>\n

769
\n00:45:23,680 –> 00:45:27,120
\nexalted him, and given him the
\nname which is above every name. <\/p>\n

770
\n00:45:27,640 –> 00:45:31,040
\nBut at the name of Jesus every
\nknee should bow of things in <\/p>\n

771
\n00:45:31,040 –> 00:45:35,280
\nheaven, and things in earth, and
\nthings under the earth, and that<\/p>\n

772
\n00:45:35,280 –> 00:45:38,160
\nevery time should confess that
\nJesus Christ is Lord. <\/p>\n

773
\n00:45:38,720 –> 00:45:43,360
\nTo the glory of God the Father.
\nI have glorified thy name thus <\/p>\n

774
\n00:45:43,360 –> 00:45:46,320
\nfar.
\nThe Lord had seemed to say, It <\/p>\n

775
\n00:45:46,320 –> 00:45:48,440
\nshall now be glorious forever
\nthrough you. <\/p>\n

776
\n00:45:49,080 –> 00:45:53,280
\nGod says to him, Now is his
\nglorious reply, The Lord can be <\/p>\n

777
\n00:45:53,280 –> 00:45:55,760
\ngiven the greatness and the
\ntitles that belong to his <\/p>\n

778
\n00:45:55,760 –> 00:45:58,120
\nFather.
\nYet the greatness and the title,<\/p>\n

779
\n00:45:58,120 –> 00:46:00,480
\neven in that giving, will remain
\nhis Father still. <\/p>\n

780
\n00:46:01,320 –> 00:46:05,640
\nThe Holy will not give and lose.
\nWhen the Lord takes, the Father <\/p>\n

781
\n00:46:05,640 –> 00:46:08,360
\nwill give to the Son, whom He
\nwill never lose. <\/p>\n

782
\n00:46:08,680 –> 00:46:11,640
\nThe Father and Son working
\ntogether will work out the <\/p>\n

783
\n00:46:11,640 –> 00:46:15,600
\npurposes of God, the Alpha and
\nthe Omega, the beginning and the<\/p>\n

784
\n00:46:15,600 –> 00:46:19,120
\nend, the first and the last,
\nwhich was always the power. <\/p>\n

785
\n00:46:19,600 –> 00:46:21,720
\nOur titles now which in the Book
\nof Revelation. <\/p>\n

786
\n00:46:22,000 –> 00:46:26,480
\nThe Son also can share having
\nbeen highly exhausted Him and as<\/p>\n

787
\n00:46:26,480 –> 00:46:30,280
\nMatthew put it, all power having
\nbeen given unto Him in heaven <\/p>\n

788
\n00:46:30,960 –> 00:46:46,560
