Class 2 from this series was used in GCT Episode 284.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:04,320 –> 00:00:06,800
\nHe learned Obedience by the
\nThings He Suffered, whether <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:06,800 –> 00:00:17,030
\nAlfred Norris, Alfred.
\nI sometimes think we don’t fully<\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:17,030 –> 00:00:22,230
\nappreciate the benefits and
\nblessings in our understanding <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:22,230 –> 00:00:25,110
\nof scripture, particularly this
\npresent topic. <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:26,750 –> 00:00:29,590
\nWe stem from the fact that we do
\nnot believe in the doctrine of <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:29,590 –> 00:00:35,600
\nthe Trinity.
\nOur usual approach to that <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:35,600 –> 00:00:38,360
\nsubject is to show quite
\nconvincingly from Scripture that<\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:38,360 –> 00:00:43,560
\nthe Lord our God is 1 Lord.
\nThat there is one God the Father<\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:43,560 –> 00:00:48,760
\nand one Lord Jesus Christ.
\nThat whenever the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:48,760 –> 00:00:52,360
\nChrist and His Father are
\nmentioned together, the Lord <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:52,360 –> 00:00:55,920
\nadopts or is given a subordinate
\nposition to His Father. <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:58,400 –> 00:01:00,880
\nAnd that when the Lord Jesus
\nreturns to the earth and <\/p>\n
14
\n00:01:00,880 –> 00:01:04,920
\nconquers the nations, he will
\nremain in control until such <\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:04,920 –> 00:01:08,320
\ntime as He hath put all enemies
\nunder his feet. <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:09,800 –> 00:01:13,680
\nAnd then, when it is said He
\nputteth all things under his <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:13,680 –> 00:01:17,120
\nfeet, it is manifest that he is
\naccepted, which did put all <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:17,120 –> 00:01:20,520
\nthings under him, that the Son
\nshall be subject to the Father, <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:22,200 –> 00:01:28,200
\nthat God may be All in all.
\nSo we have an excellent starting<\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:28,200 –> 00:01:33,520
\nplatform for which to
\ncontemplate what was done when <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:33,520 –> 00:01:35,520
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ died for
\nour sins. <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:35,520 –> 00:01:42,000
\nAccording to the Scriptures, we
\nstart with one who is by his own<\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:42,000 –> 00:01:46,080
\nconfession and in his own
\npleasure Son of God, who came to<\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:46,080 –> 00:01:50,440
\ndo His Father’s will, and who
\ndid nothing of himself. <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:52,960 –> 00:01:58,560
\nWe start with one, however, who
\nis unlike us in this important <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:58,560 –> 00:02:02,800
\nparticular that his father is
\nnot like our fathers. <\/p>\n
27
\n00:02:05,040 –> 00:02:09,960
\nThat he had no immediate human
\nfather, that he became the being<\/p>\n
28
\n00:02:09,960 –> 00:02:15,560
\nhe was born as because the Holy
\nSpirit came upon his mother and <\/p>\n
29
\n00:02:15,560 –> 00:02:19,560
\nthe power of the Most High
\novershadowed her, so that for <\/p>\n
30
\n00:02:19,560 –> 00:02:24,360
\nthat reason her child could and
\nmust be called the Son of God. <\/p>\n
31
\n00:02:27,360 –> 00:02:31,960
\nNow they will rewrite that story
\nin the interest of the doctrine <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:31,960 –> 00:02:35,760
\nof the Trinity, and they will
\nsay that the Lord Jesus Christ <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:35,760 –> 00:02:42,240
\nwas but the manifestation in
\nflesh of God eternally pre <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:42,240 –> 00:02:46,280
\nexistent.
\nThey will tell us that the birth<\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:46,280 –> 00:02:49,440
\nof the Lord Jesus Christ wasn’t
\nreally like what we understand <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:49,440 –> 00:02:53,080
\nby our naive acceptance of Luke
\nchapter One, but was something <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:53,080 –> 00:02:57,360
\nlike this invent problems for
\nthemselves in doing so. <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:57,360 –> 00:03:05,200
\nFor they say God has always been
\na triune being, and in that <\/p>\n
39
\n00:03:05,200 –> 00:03:08,640
\nbeing there are three.
\nFor one of a better term we call<\/p>\n
40
\n00:03:08,640 –> 00:03:14,160
\nit English persons, and that
\nthose persons are to be known as<\/p>\n
41
\n00:03:14,160 –> 00:03:20,240
\nGod the Father, God the Son, and
\nGod the Holy Ghost or Spirit. <\/p>\n
42
\n00:03:23,000 –> 00:03:28,280
\nAnd that it was long ages ago,
\nin the harmony of their divine <\/p>\n
43
\n00:03:28,280 –> 00:03:34,000
\ncouncils, that it was decided
\nthat person called God the Son, <\/p>\n
44
\n00:03:34,000 –> 00:03:38,360
\nshould come to the earth and
\nbecome also men. <\/p>\n
45
\n00:03:41,360 –> 00:03:44,160
\nThey do not, when they’re
\nspeaking carefully, speak of the<\/p>\n
46
\n00:03:44,160 –> 00:03:48,200
\nbirth of Christ, they speak of
\nHis incarnation. <\/p>\n
47
\n00:03:50,200 –> 00:03:55,200
\nHe’s putting on a flesh.
\nAnd they tell us that as far as <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:55,200 –> 00:03:58,800
\nwe can understand such things,
\nthe real circumstances were that<\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:59,000 –> 00:04:02,760
\neternal God, the second person
\nof the Godhead, voluntarily <\/p>\n
50
\n00:04:02,760 –> 00:04:05,800
\nentered within the body of the
\nVirgin and took flesh from her <\/p>\n
51
\n00:04:05,800 –> 00:04:13,120
\nwomb and became also man.
\nSo what emerged into the <\/p>\n
52
\n00:04:13,120 –> 00:04:18,480
\ndaylight of publicity when the
\nLord was 30 human years old, was<\/p>\n
53
\n00:04:18,480 –> 00:04:22,160
\nsomebody whom, distastefully,
\nthey sometimes call the God man,<\/p>\n
54
\n00:04:24,280 –> 00:04:30,960
\nno less God than he was man
\nperfectly, both mount together <\/p>\n
55
\n00:04:30,960 –> 00:04:35,800
\nin one being, and the choice of
\nboth, in that nothing could go <\/p>\n
56
\n00:04:35,800 –> 00:04:38,720
\nwrong with the God, and nothing
\ndid go wrong with his manhood. <\/p>\n
57
\n00:04:42,440 –> 00:04:45,880
\nAnd of course, by that day they
\nobliged themselves to admit when<\/p>\n
58
\n00:04:45,880 –> 00:04:49,760
\nthey are speaking candidly, that
\nthe Lord was not what the Bible <\/p>\n
59
\n00:04:49,760 –> 00:04:52,360
\nsays.
\nHe was made in all points, like <\/p>\n
60
\n00:04:52,360 –> 00:04:56,760
\nunto his brethren.
\nBut he was not what the Bible <\/p>\n
61
\n00:04:56,760 –> 00:04:58,760
\nsays.
\nHe was tempted in all points, <\/p>\n
62
\n00:04:58,760 –> 00:05:05,160
\nlike as we are yet without sin,
\nthat he did not undergo the <\/p>\n
63
\n00:05:05,160 –> 00:05:09,280
\nexperiences in need of tight
\ntemptation that you and I do. <\/p>\n
64
\n00:05:11,680 –> 00:05:17,880
\nFor how could he, even though in
\nhis manhood he was by his own <\/p>\n
65
\n00:05:17,880 –> 00:05:24,840
\nchoice weak and frail, and
\ncapable of suffering and sorrow <\/p>\n
66
\n00:05:25,480 –> 00:05:29,280
\nas well as joy and hunger, as
\nwell as repretion? <\/p>\n
67
\n00:05:30,640 –> 00:05:34,040
\nYes, in all the things that
\nbelong to his manhood there lies<\/p>\n
68
\n00:05:34,360 –> 00:05:41,840
\nin control and unavoidable.
\nHis divinity would say he was, <\/p>\n
69
\n00:05:42,360 –> 00:05:48,760
\nis, and remains God.
\nAnd God, we know, cannot be <\/p>\n
70
\n00:05:48,760 –> 00:05:52,840
\ntempted with evil.
\nNeither tempteth he any man. <\/p>\n
71
\n00:05:54,720 –> 00:05:59,680
\nAnd it is an essential part of
\nthe fact that it be a fact that <\/p>\n
72
\n00:05:59,760 –> 00:06:03,600
\nJesus Christ is God, that he
\nshould not be able to respond to<\/p>\n
73
\n00:06:03,600 –> 00:06:06,000
\nthe forces of evil.
\nThe temptation as we know the <\/p>\n
74
\n00:06:06,000 –> 00:06:12,280
\nWord could be no part of his
\nexperiences, if I can put it <\/p>\n
75
\n00:06:12,280 –> 00:06:17,440
\ncrudely, even if the manly side
\nnature of the nature of the Lord<\/p>\n
76
\n00:06:17,440 –> 00:06:21,240
\nJesus Christ had felt very urged
\nto do what man likes to do the <\/p>\n
77
\n00:06:21,240 –> 00:06:25,800
\ngodless, I couldn’t have let
\nhim, for God can’t sin and that <\/p>\n
78
\n00:06:25,800 –> 00:06:29,360
\nman well complete, all of him
\nwas God and man. <\/p>\n
79
\n00:06:30,280 –> 00:06:34,240
\nSo logically and strictly, and
\nin some cases quite admittedly, <\/p>\n
80
\n00:06:35,280 –> 00:06:38,240
\nthey can’t accept the real
\ntemptations of the Lord. <\/p>\n
81
\n00:06:39,440 –> 00:06:43,200
\nSufferings.
\nYes, death, by some means that <\/p>\n
82
\n00:06:43,200 –> 00:06:46,040
\nnone of us can understand, Yes,
\nthat too they accept. <\/p>\n
83
\n00:06:47,000 –> 00:06:51,560
\nBut temptations in the sense
\nthat he might have yielded that <\/p>\n
84
\n00:06:51,560 –> 00:06:55,720
\nyielding was possible.
\nThe battle had to be fought to <\/p>\n
85
\n00:06:55,720 –> 00:06:58,880
\nmaintain his righteousness.
\nThat cannot be a part of <\/p>\n
86
\n00:06:58,880 –> 00:07:05,000
\nTrinitarian teaching, but it can
\nbe a part of ours. <\/p>\n
87
\n00:07:07,760 –> 00:07:10,560
\nIt can and must be a part of
\nours. <\/p>\n
88
\n00:07:13,080 –> 00:07:16,040
\nThe great glory of our
\nunderstanding of the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
89
\n00:07:16,040 –> 00:07:22,960
\nChrist, which they don’t like us
\nto have, is that we can stand <\/p>\n
90
\n00:07:22,960 –> 00:07:27,480
\nback and look at him who sits
\nnow at the right hand of God, <\/p>\n
91
\n00:07:28,120 –> 00:07:30,920
\nwith marks in hand and feet
\ninside, and possibly the scars <\/p>\n
92
\n00:07:30,920 –> 00:07:34,800
\nof the crown of thorns, and the
\nresidue of the wheels wrought by<\/p>\n
93
\n00:07:34,800 –> 00:07:39,760
\nthe lashes that lashed his back.
\nWe can look at the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
94
\n00:07:39,760 –> 00:07:42,960
\nChrist, and triumph in him, and
\nsay, God worthy. <\/p>\n
95
\n00:07:44,160 –> 00:07:47,040
\nFor thou was slain, and has to
\nredeem this unto God by thy <\/p>\n
96
\n00:07:47,040 –> 00:07:50,080
\nblood out of every kindred and
\ntribe and people and tongue, and<\/p>\n
97
\n00:07:52,200 –> 00:07:57,160
\nwe can acclaim his victory.
\nAnd so there sits one who, <\/p>\n
98
\n00:07:57,280 –> 00:08:02,160
\nagainst all the human odds, one
\nthrough there sits one who, when<\/p>\n
99
\n00:08:02,160 –> 00:08:04,960
\nwe would many times, almost
\nalways in the same <\/p>\n
100
\n00:08:04,960 –> 00:08:07,760
\ncircumstances, have yielded
\nourselves to the desires of the <\/p>\n
101
\n00:08:07,760 –> 00:08:11,840
\nflesh, kept them at Bay, kept
\nthem tame, help them in <\/p>\n
102
\n00:08:11,840 –> 00:08:18,480
\nsubjection, won his daily
\nbattles for God, being tempted <\/p>\n
103
\n00:08:18,480 –> 00:08:22,920
\nin all points like as we are,
\nyet without sin. <\/p>\n
104
\n00:08:23,680 –> 00:08:26,880
\nWould you read with me the
\nletter to the Hebrews chapter 5 <\/p>\n
105
\n00:08:33,679 –> 00:08:35,159
\nmuch of the earlier part of this
\npassage? <\/p>\n
106
\n00:08:35,159 –> 00:08:37,640
\nWe shall not need that.
\nIt’s needed to give us a a <\/p>\n
107
\n00:08:37,960 –> 00:08:40,440
\nconnected recitation.
\nSo I’d like to begin at the <\/p>\n
108
\n00:08:40,440 –> 00:08:46,280
\nbeginning and go as far as verse
\n10 Hebrews Tithe the 1st 10 <\/p>\n
109
\n00:08:46,280 –> 00:08:53,080
\nverses for every high priest
\ntaken from among men is ordained<\/p>\n
110
\n00:08:53,080 –> 00:08:56,200
\nfrom men in things pertaining to
\nGod, that he may offer both <\/p>\n
111
\n00:08:56,240 –> 00:09:00,000
\ngifts and sacrifices for sins.
\nWho can have compassion on the <\/p>\n
112
\n00:09:00,040 –> 00:09:03,320
\nignorant, and on them that are
\nout of the way? <\/p>\n
113
\n00:09:03,320 –> 00:09:09,640
\nFor that he himself also is
\ncompassed with infirmity, and by<\/p>\n
114
\n00:09:09,640 –> 00:09:13,680
\nreason thereof he ought As for
\nthe people, so also for himself <\/p>\n
115
\n00:09:13,680 –> 00:09:18,520
\nto offer for sins.
\nAnd no man taketh dishonor upon <\/p>\n
116
\n00:09:18,520 –> 00:09:22,320
\nhimself, but he that is called
\nof God, as was Aaron. <\/p>\n
117
\n00:09:24,400 –> 00:09:27,680
\nSo also Christ glorified not
\nhimself to be made a high <\/p>\n
118
\n00:09:27,680 –> 00:09:32,160
\npriest, but neither said unto
\nhim, Thou art my son this day <\/p>\n
119
\n00:09:32,160 –> 00:09:37,080
\nhave I begotten thee, as he said
\nalso in another place, Thou art <\/p>\n
120
\n00:09:37,080 –> 00:09:39,880
\na priest forever after the order
\nof Melchizedek. <\/p>\n
121
\n00:09:41,160 –> 00:09:45,560
\nWho?
\nThat’s Jesus, who in the days of<\/p>\n
122
\n00:09:45,560 –> 00:09:50,480
\nhis flesh, when he had offered
\nup prayers and supplications, <\/p>\n
123
\n00:09:50,680 –> 00:09:54,400
\nwith strong crying and tears
\nunto him, that was able to save <\/p>\n
124
\n00:09:54,400 –> 00:10:00,160
\nhim from death, and was heard in
\nthat he feared though he were a <\/p>\n
125
\n00:10:00,160 –> 00:10:03,200
\nson, yet learned he obedience by
\nthe things that he suffered. <\/p>\n
126
\n00:10:05,320 –> 00:10:08,960
\nAnd being made perfect, he
\nbecame the author of eternal <\/p>\n
127
\n00:10:08,960 –> 00:10:13,640
\nsalvation unto all them that
\nobey him called of God and High <\/p>\n
128
\n00:10:13,640 –> 00:10:15,840
\nPriest after the order of
\nMelchizedek. <\/p>\n
129
\n00:10:19,680 –> 00:10:23,400
\nIn those messages we begin with
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ preparing <\/p>\n
130
\n00:10:23,400 –> 00:10:25,680
\nfor and acquiring the office of
\npriesthood. <\/p>\n
131
\n00:10:27,800 –> 00:10:31,120
\nWe know that he, no more than
\nanybody else, took it upon <\/p>\n
132
\n00:10:31,120 –> 00:10:35,880
\nhimself without being asked that
\nhe, like Aaron, waited to be <\/p>\n
133
\n00:10:35,880 –> 00:10:40,600
\nasked before he did it.
\nAnd as God had appointed Aaron <\/p>\n
134
\n00:10:40,600 –> 00:10:43,600
\nfor the temporary office,
\ndischarged by himself and his <\/p>\n
135
\n00:10:43,600 –> 00:10:49,480
\nsuccessors as high priests over
\nTabernacle and then temple, so <\/p>\n
136
\n00:10:49,480 –> 00:10:54,200
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ bided the
\ntime till the Lord declared it <\/p>\n
137
\n00:10:54,200 –> 00:10:58,960
\nto be right that the priesthood
\nshould change, and accepted the <\/p>\n
138
\n00:10:58,960 –> 00:11:02,880
\noffice.
\nWhen it came to him, he did not <\/p>\n
139
\n00:11:02,880 –> 00:11:05,000
\nglorify himself to being a high
\npriest. <\/p>\n
140
\n00:11:05,160 –> 00:11:09,040
\nHe did not grasp that the office
\nof being a high priest, he did <\/p>\n
141
\n00:11:09,040 –> 00:11:12,880
\nwhat God had wanted him to do,
\nwhen beforehand he declared that<\/p>\n
142
\n00:11:12,880 –> 00:11:17,600
\nmy son this day have I begotten
\nthee, and again, now the priest <\/p>\n
143
\n00:11:17,600 –> 00:11:19,480
\nforever after the order of
\nMelchizedek. <\/p>\n
144
\n00:11:19,480 –> 00:11:24,640
\nAs with everything in his life,
\nthe Lord took what he was <\/p>\n
145
\n00:11:24,640 –> 00:11:29,760
\noffered by the one who offered
\nit, to do the will of the one <\/p>\n
146
\n00:11:29,760 –> 00:11:34,680
\nwho offered it, and became a
\nhigh priest for God in things <\/p>\n
147
\n00:11:34,680 –> 00:11:41,440
\npertaining to men.
\nNow the words that follow that <\/p>\n
148
\n00:11:41,440 –> 00:11:46,200
\nwith strong crying and tears he
\ncalled on him that was able to <\/p>\n
149
\n00:11:46,200 –> 00:11:49,080
\nsave him out of death, and was
\nheard for his godly fear. <\/p>\n
150
\n00:11:49,080 –> 00:11:52,600
\nThat’s the English revised
\nversion revealed to us the <\/p>\n
151
\n00:11:52,600 –> 00:11:56,720
\ndepths of what the Lord must
\nsuffer, and the dungeon of <\/p>\n
152
\n00:11:56,960 –> 00:12:01,040
\nhopelessness into which he must
\nwillingly sink if he would <\/p>\n
153
\n00:12:01,040 –> 00:12:03,520
\nbecome the one who is to be our
\nhigh priest. <\/p>\n
154
\n00:12:05,440 –> 00:12:09,240
\nHe sobbed, saw tears that God
\nwould strengthen him to <\/p>\n
155
\n00:12:09,240 –> 00:12:14,360
\novercome, that the will of God
\nshould not fail in his hands, <\/p>\n
156
\n00:12:16,000 –> 00:12:19,720
\nthat he should accept his death
\nin such a way that God might <\/p>\n
157
\n00:12:19,720 –> 00:12:24,720
\nsave him out of death, and that
\nhe might become our perfected <\/p>\n
158
\n00:12:24,720 –> 00:12:30,760
\nhigh priest.
\nThose words, though he were a <\/p>\n
159
\n00:12:30,760 –> 00:12:34,240
\nson, yet learned he obedience,
\nsee most as though they might <\/p>\n
160
\n00:12:34,240 –> 00:12:36,160
\nhave been written.
\nThen why should it not be so <\/p>\n
161
\n00:12:37,760 –> 00:12:40,400
\nwith the prescience of God, who
\ncould see all things from the <\/p>\n
162
\n00:12:40,400 –> 00:12:45,680
\nbeginning to provide an answer
\nthat cannot be gained, said for <\/p>\n
163
\n00:12:45,680 –> 00:12:51,600
\nthe Orthodox of our own day.
\nFor they would say, because he <\/p>\n
164
\n00:12:51,600 –> 00:12:56,840
\nwas a son, there could be no
\nsuffering of temptation, But he <\/p>\n
165
\n00:12:56,840 –> 00:13:02,680
\nwould says, though he were a
\nson, yet did he learn obedience <\/p>\n
166
\n00:13:02,680 –> 00:13:08,200
\nby the things that he suffered.
\nHe learned obedience the hard <\/p>\n
167
\n00:13:08,200 –> 00:13:15,240
\nway, as we would say, not your
\nkind of hard way and mine. <\/p>\n
168
\n00:13:17,520 –> 00:13:22,040
\nWhen we learn obedience to the
\nextent to which we do, we learn <\/p>\n
169
\n00:13:22,040 –> 00:13:23,240
\nit.
\nBecause we found out how painful<\/p>\n
170
\n00:13:23,240 –> 00:13:26,920
\nit was to disobey, we decided
\nwe’d rather not be hurt like <\/p>\n
171
\n00:13:26,920 –> 00:13:29,480
\nthat again, and so we decide
\nnext time to do as we’re told. <\/p>\n
172
\n00:13:32,000 –> 00:13:37,920
\nBut the Lord was not like that.
\nHe was never disobedient, but He<\/p>\n
173
\n00:13:37,920 –> 00:13:41,600
\nwas never allowed, not ever
\nwanted to find it easy to be <\/p>\n
174
\n00:13:41,600 –> 00:13:45,640
\nobedient.
\nHe learned obedience by the <\/p>\n
175
\n00:13:45,640 –> 00:13:50,920
\nthings that He suffered,
\naccepted steadfastly the path of<\/p>\n
176
\n00:13:50,920 –> 00:13:55,520
\nduty was ever it cost, was
\nprepared to endure the strong <\/p>\n
177
\n00:13:55,560 –> 00:14:00,000
\ncrying and tears to which he was
\ndriven by the need to suffer in <\/p>\n
178
\n00:14:00,000 –> 00:14:03,560
\nthe service of God, and did it
\nfaultlessly. <\/p>\n
179
\n00:14:07,520 –> 00:14:12,040
\nSuppose I asked you the
\nquestion, Did Jesus Christ live <\/p>\n
180
\n00:14:12,040 –> 00:14:17,120
\na perfect life?
\nUnless you had been forewarned, <\/p>\n
181
\n00:14:18,000 –> 00:14:20,120
\nI think you would all say yes.
\nOf course. <\/p>\n
182
\n00:14:23,080 –> 00:14:25,680
\nIf you’d heard me perhaps others
\naddress this topic before, you <\/p>\n
183
\n00:14:25,680 –> 00:14:29,800
\nmight hesitate a little and say,
\nah, he lived a life in which he <\/p>\n
184
\n00:14:29,800 –> 00:14:34,240
\ndid no sin.
\nHe lived a thoughtless life. <\/p>\n
185
\n00:14:35,400 –> 00:14:37,680
\nHis behaviour from beginning to
\nend was spotless. <\/p>\n
186
\n00:14:39,360 –> 00:14:42,400
\nAnd I would say, yes, that was a
\nbetter way of putting it. <\/p>\n
187
\n00:14:45,480 –> 00:14:52,040
\nThe word being perfect, or more
\ncorrectly, being perfected, is <\/p>\n
188
\n00:14:52,040 –> 00:14:58,760
\nonly used, I think, four times
\nabout Jesus, once by him and <\/p>\n
189
\n00:14:58,760 –> 00:15:03,640
\nthree times about him.
\nThe one by him is in Luke <\/p>\n
190
\n00:15:03,640 –> 00:15:07,560
\nchapter 13.
\nWell, the advice to run away <\/p>\n
191
\n00:15:07,560 –> 00:15:08,960
\nfrom the possible wrath of
\nHerod. <\/p>\n
192
\n00:15:09,720 –> 00:15:13,120
\nHe stays where he is and says to
\nthem, go, tell that fox, I do <\/p>\n
193
\n00:15:13,120 –> 00:15:17,240
\nclose today, and tomorrow, and
\nthe third day I shall be <\/p>\n
194
\n00:15:17,800 –> 00:15:23,800
\nperfected, And it seems that
\nthere is an intentional <\/p>\n
195
\n00:15:23,800 –> 00:15:26,960
\ncomparison there between the
\nLord’s helping other people to <\/p>\n
196
\n00:15:26,960 –> 00:15:30,560
\nget their bodies right.
\nI do curious to death tomorrow <\/p>\n
197
\n00:15:31,760 –> 00:15:35,480
\nand the Lord expectation that
\nshortly afterwards he will <\/p>\n
198
\n00:15:35,480 –> 00:15:40,160
\nhimself be perfected, as though
\nto admit that there was <\/p>\n
199
\n00:15:40,160 –> 00:15:44,320
\nsomething falling just short of
\nperfect in his present <\/p>\n
200
\n00:15:44,320 –> 00:15:48,400
\ncondition.
\nI said conditioned not <\/p>\n
201
\n00:15:48,400 –> 00:15:52,120
\nbehaviour.
\nHis behaviour was never short of<\/p>\n
202
\n00:15:52,120 –> 00:15:55,840
\nspotless, but I’ve scold myself.
\nI’ve tried to not to use the <\/p>\n
203
\n00:15:55,840 –> 00:15:57,960
\nword perfect about it because
\nthe Bible doesn’t. <\/p>\n
204
\n00:15:59,280 –> 00:16:04,120
\nThe Bible says the Lord expected
\nto be perfected, not that he <\/p>\n
205
\n00:16:04,120 –> 00:16:08,440
\nclaimed to be perfect.
\nThe Bible says that the Lord, in<\/p>\n
206
\n00:16:08,440 –> 00:16:11,080
\nanswer to the rich young man
\nsaid, why call this army good? <\/p>\n
207
\n00:16:11,080 –> 00:16:16,040
\nThere is no good at one that is
\ngone and that throughout his <\/p>\n
208
\n00:16:16,040 –> 00:16:20,160
\nlife the Lord looked forward to
\na time when perfection would be <\/p>\n
209
\n00:16:20,160 –> 00:16:26,800
\nHis that needs perhaps a self
\ndefensive word of explanation. <\/p>\n
210
\n00:16:28,680 –> 00:16:31,240
\nI don’t think there is a thing
\nto be said against anything the <\/p>\n
211
\n00:16:31,240 –> 00:16:37,560
\nLord did or said, or entertained
\npermanently in his thoughts. <\/p>\n
212
\n00:16:39,520 –> 00:16:44,120
\nEverything the Lord did and said
\nand allowed to take root in His <\/p>\n
213
\n00:16:44,120 –> 00:16:47,760
\nmind without fault, He did no
\nsin. <\/p>\n
214
\n00:16:49,280 –> 00:16:51,240
\nNeither was Guile found in his
\nmouth. <\/p>\n
215
\n00:16:54,400 –> 00:16:56,520
\nBut you don’t say.
\nThings like that about the Lord <\/p>\n
216
\n00:16:56,520 –> 00:16:58,240
\nwithout realizing that
\nimplication. <\/p>\n
217
\n00:16:59,640 –> 00:17:03,560
\nTo say he.
\nDid no sin will be meaningless <\/p>\n
218
\n00:17:03,640 –> 00:17:05,640
\nif he couldn’t, could not have
\ndone any sin. <\/p>\n
219
\n00:17:05,640 –> 00:17:10,560
\nTo say he behaved faultlessly is
\nno commendation to him if he was<\/p>\n
220
\n00:17:10,560 –> 00:17:14,359
\nbound to be faultlessly.
\nTo say he did. <\/p>\n
221
\n00:17:14,359 –> 00:17:16,839
\nAlways those things that please
\nhis father as he said himself. <\/p>\n
222
\n00:17:18,200 –> 00:17:20,440
\nWill be an.
\nIdol to boast if he could do <\/p>\n
223
\n00:17:20,440 –> 00:17:23,160
\nnothing else to please his
\nfather, if the way he was built <\/p>\n
224
\n00:17:23,160 –> 00:17:26,160
\nwas such that pleasing his
\nfather was part of his make up <\/p>\n
225
\n00:17:28,680 –> 00:17:33,800
\nall those things like he did no
\nsin that no guile was found in <\/p>\n
226
\n00:17:33,800 –> 00:17:36,320
\nhis mouth.
\nThat he did. <\/p>\n
227
\n00:17:36,320 –> 00:17:40,600
\nAlways those things that please
\nhis father, that my meat is to <\/p>\n
228
\n00:17:40,600 –> 00:17:42,560
\ndo the with him that sent me,
\nand to finish his work. <\/p>\n
229
\n00:17:42,720 –> 00:17:46,360
\nThey all rest inevitably upon
\nthe possibility that it could <\/p>\n
230
\n00:17:46,360 –> 00:17:50,360
\nhave been otherwise.
\nYou don’t. <\/p>\n
231
\n00:17:50,360 –> 00:17:53,200
\nCommend a man for being what he
\ncan’t help being. <\/p>\n
232
\n00:17:55,440 –> 00:17:58,360
\nYou don’t say what a wonderful
\nperson you must be. <\/p>\n
233
\n00:17:58,360 –> 00:18:01,480
\nYou were so handsome when you
\nwere born, which is quite <\/p>\n
234
\n00:18:01,480 –> 00:18:05,760
\nirrelevant.
\nYou say how well you have <\/p>\n
235
\n00:18:05,760 –> 00:18:08,320
\nbehaved in face of the
\npossibility. <\/p>\n
236
\n00:18:09,400 –> 00:18:10,840
\nSo you might.
\nHave behaved differently. <\/p>\n
237
\n00:18:13,760 –> 00:18:15,360
\nThe example I gave.
\nIn the first talk. <\/p>\n
238
\n00:18:17,040 –> 00:18:19,520
\nThat when the Lord.
\nInsisted on being baptized when <\/p>\n
239
\n00:18:19,520 –> 00:18:22,400
\nhe might have accepted John’s
\nsuggestions to the contrary. <\/p>\n
240
\n00:18:23,600 –> 00:18:26,800
\nHe went into and came out of the
\nwater, and the Spirit of God <\/p>\n
241
\n00:18:26,800 –> 00:18:28,320
\ncame to heaven in the shape of a
\ndog. <\/p>\n
242
\n00:18:28,520 –> 00:18:33,200
\nAnd God said yes, and God said.
\nThis is my. <\/p>\n
243
\n00:18:33,200 –> 00:18:35,600
\nBeloved Son in whom I am well
\npleased. <\/p>\n
244
\n00:18:36,920 –> 00:18:38,840
\nIs an indication.
\nThat that was a victory. <\/p>\n
245
\n00:18:40,520 –> 00:18:44,080
\nThat that was.
\nA temptation overcome, an <\/p>\n
246
\n00:18:44,080 –> 00:18:48,120
\nopportunity of declining from
\nGod’s service detected and <\/p>\n
247
\n00:18:48,120 –> 00:18:51,200
\nperceived and rejected.
\nSo that he. <\/p>\n
248
\n00:18:51,200 –> 00:18:54,200
\nMight do what God wished him to
\ndo and do it flawlessly. <\/p>\n
249
\n00:18:55,960 –> 00:18:58,800
\nGod couldn’t usefully have said
\nI’m very pleased with him. <\/p>\n
250
\n00:19:00,360 –> 00:19:02,000
\nUnless he had.
\nDone something which warranted <\/p>\n
251
\n00:19:02,000 –> 00:19:07,280
\nthe divine pleasure.
\nIf you’re pleased with her, the <\/p>\n
252
\n00:19:07,280 –> 00:19:09,480
\nmechanical thing that can’t do
\nanything else is because you’ve <\/p>\n
253
\n00:19:09,480 –> 00:19:12,080
\nmade it rather nicely.
\nNot because of. <\/p>\n
254
\n00:19:12,080 –> 00:19:15,760
\nAny merits in the thing itself?
\nOne can be. <\/p>\n
255
\n00:19:15,760 –> 00:19:18,880
\nPersonally proud of a robot.
\nOr any? <\/p>\n
256
\n00:19:18,880 –> 00:19:21,680
\nMechanical or electronic object
\none makes because one has <\/p>\n
257
\n00:19:22,000 –> 00:19:24,600
\ndesigned what is needed to make
\nit and done it right. <\/p>\n
258
\n00:19:26,440 –> 00:19:27,160
\nBut in this?
\nInstance. <\/p>\n
259
\n00:19:27,160 –> 00:19:29,160
\nThere was nothing robotic about
\nit at all. <\/p>\n
260
\n00:19:29,320 –> 00:19:31,560
\nI am very pleased with the way
\nmy son behaves. <\/p>\n
261
\n00:19:33,040 –> 00:19:34,080
\nIs what the?
\nFather said. <\/p>\n
262
\n00:19:34,080 –> 00:19:37,880
\nAnd that must mean that he had
\nit within his power to behave <\/p>\n
263
\n00:19:37,880 –> 00:19:44,800
\ndifferently and didn’t do so.
\nI’ve only given you. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:19:44,800 –> 00:19:47,360
\nOne of the four examples, the
\nuse of the word perfect about <\/p>\n
265
\n00:19:47,360 –> 00:19:49,080
\nJesus.
\nI’ll skip quickly through the <\/p>\n
266
\n00:19:49,080 –> 00:19:50,880
\nother three.
\nThey’re all in the letter to the<\/p>\n
267
\n00:19:50,880 –> 00:19:54,920
\nHebrews, and perhaps you know
\nthem so well that we won’t need <\/p>\n
268
\n00:19:54,920 –> 00:19:57,080
\nto turn them up.
\nBut what is in chapter 2? <\/p>\n
269
\n00:19:58,840 –> 00:20:01,320
\nWhere we read.
\nIt became God in bringing many <\/p>\n
270
\n00:20:01,320 –> 00:20:04,560
\nsons unto glory, to make the
\ncaptain of their salvation <\/p>\n
271
\n00:20:04,560 –> 00:20:06,360
\nperfect.
\nThrough. <\/p>\n
272
\n00:20:06,360 –> 00:20:10,040
\nSufferings notice, make him
\nperfect. <\/p>\n
273
\n00:20:10,880 –> 00:20:13,880
\nYou start off with a captain of
\nour salvation who has not yet <\/p>\n
274
\n00:20:13,880 –> 00:20:17,080
\nbeen made perfect, and you
\nlegitimately consents to be LED.<\/p>\n
275
\n00:20:18,360 –> 00:20:20,160
\nThrough a path.
\nThat involves his sufferings and<\/p>\n
276
\n00:20:20,160 –> 00:20:22,560
\nat the end of that.
\nHe has been made. <\/p>\n
277
\n00:20:22,560 –> 00:20:24,720
\nPerfect.
\nThat’s the meaning. <\/p>\n
278
\n00:20:24,720 –> 00:20:27,320
\nOf the words, whatever the
\nreality turns out to be. <\/p>\n
279
\n00:20:29,680 –> 00:20:31,240
\nThe second is 1.
\nWe’ve just read in Hebrews <\/p>\n
280
\n00:20:31,240 –> 00:20:35,160
\nchapter 5 that.
\nThough he were. <\/p>\n
281
\n00:20:35,160 –> 00:20:38,040
\nA son yet learned the obedience
\nby the things that he suffered <\/p>\n
282
\n00:20:38,240 –> 00:20:41,880
\nand being made perfect.
\nHe became the. <\/p>\n
283
\n00:20:41,880 –> 00:20:44,880
\nAuthor of eternal salvation
\ncalled of God and High Priest <\/p>\n
284
\n00:20:44,880 –> 00:20:50,440
\nafter the order of Melchizedek.
\nAnd there is, I think there an <\/p>\n
285
\n00:20:50,440 –> 00:20:55,880
\nintended contrast between the
\nJewish high priests who being so<\/p>\n
286
\n00:20:55,880 –> 00:20:57,840
\ncompassed about with infirmities
\nof their own. <\/p>\n
287
\n00:21:00,040 –> 00:21:02,000
\nCould with.
\nShamed eloquence plead for their<\/p>\n
288
\n00:21:02,000 –> 00:21:04,480
\nown sins, and the sins of
\nothers, when they went before <\/p>\n
289
\n00:21:04,480 –> 00:21:08,520
\nthe throne of grace in the shape
\nof the most holy place of the <\/p>\n
290
\n00:21:08,520 –> 00:21:14,400
\ntemple or Tabernacle, and this
\nperson who, whenever he started,<\/p>\n
291
\n00:21:14,400 –> 00:21:16,720
\nhad got to the point where he
\nhad been made perfect. <\/p>\n
292
\n00:21:18,280 –> 00:21:20,840
\nBefore he is.
\nCalled by God our High Priest. <\/p>\n
293
\n00:21:22,200 –> 00:21:24,360
\nThere’s much more to.
\nSay about this in the last talk.<\/p>\n
294
\n00:21:25,560 –> 00:21:27,760
\nBut perhaps.
\nWe can anticipate to the extent <\/p>\n
295
\n00:21:27,760 –> 00:21:32,080
\nthat when the Lord Jesus Christ,
\nhaving been made perfect, <\/p>\n
296
\n00:21:32,080 –> 00:21:37,240
\nwhatever that means, did go into
\nGod’s heavenly temple as our <\/p>\n
297
\n00:21:37,240 –> 00:21:40,400
\nHigh Priest.
\nHe didn’t just. <\/p>\n
298
\n00:21:40,400 –> 00:21:42,920
\nSpend a few hours there on one
\nday of a year. <\/p>\n
299
\n00:21:44,680 –> 00:21:50,240
\nBut he stayed there and sat down
\nat the right hand of God. <\/p>\n
300
\n00:21:51,800 –> 00:21:57,240
\nThat was where he belonged and
\nbelongs, having been made <\/p>\n
301
\n00:21:57,240 –> 00:22:01,840
\nperfect.
\nAnd the last. <\/p>\n
302
\n00:22:01,840 –> 00:22:04,760
\nExample is in the 7th chapter I
\nthink towards the end. <\/p>\n
303
\n00:22:06,040 –> 00:22:08,560
\nWell, we are told.
\nThe law appointed high priests <\/p>\n
304
\n00:22:08,560 –> 00:22:15,040
\nwhich have intermity, but God
\nappointed this one who has been <\/p>\n
305
\n00:22:15,040 –> 00:22:19,160
\nconsecrated forevermore.
\nWhat a pity the King James <\/p>\n
306
\n00:22:19,160 –> 00:22:21,040
\nAuthorized version said
\nconsecrated. <\/p>\n
307
\n00:22:21,800 –> 00:22:23,440
\nHe shouldn’t have done.
\nIt’s the same word. <\/p>\n
308
\n00:22:24,800 –> 00:22:26,960
\nIt’s the only other the last
\noccasion where the word <\/p>\n
309
\n00:22:27,040 –> 00:22:31,360
\nperfected is used about Jesus,
\nand the Word of God’s author <\/p>\n
310
\n00:22:31,400 –> 00:22:34,240
\nappoints our High Priest
\nperfected forevermore. <\/p>\n
311
\n00:22:35,960 –> 00:22:37,920
\nAnd you can see.
\nIn broad outlines the program <\/p>\n
312
\n00:22:37,920 –> 00:22:40,520
\nlaid out you started with Jesus
\nas he was born. <\/p>\n
313
\n00:22:42,440 –> 00:22:44,960
\nYou go through.
\nJesus, as he lives and behaves, <\/p>\n
314
\n00:22:46,240 –> 00:22:52,560
\nyou come to Jesus of his death.
\nYou see the having died, Lord <\/p>\n
315
\n00:22:52,560 –> 00:22:55,760
\nJesus Christ raised from the
\ndead and ascending to the right <\/p>\n
316
\n00:22:55,760 –> 00:22:57,680
\nhand of God.
\nAnd he said there now he has <\/p>\n
317
\n00:22:57,680 –> 00:23:04,000
\nbeen perfected forevermore.
\nNothing can ever go wrong with <\/p>\n
318
\n00:23:04,000 –> 00:23:09,480
\nthe perfected Christ.
\nHow much more? <\/p>\n
319
\n00:23:09,480 –> 00:23:12,480
\nGlorious, that is, than to see
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ as the <\/p>\n
320
\n00:23:12,480 –> 00:23:16,960
\nTrinitarians, see him as the
\neternal God the Son, assuming <\/p>\n
321
\n00:23:16,960 –> 00:23:23,120
\nflesh as well, but still being
\nGod beyond the reach of sinning.<\/p>\n
322
\n00:23:25,880 –> 00:23:28,520
\nOur Lord was not beyond.
\nThe reach of sitting at all. <\/p>\n
323
\n00:23:30,880 –> 00:23:36,920
\nHe met it at close quarters.
\nHe met it because of who he was.<\/p>\n
324
\n00:23:39,320 –> 00:23:41,200
\nHe really be.
\nCast as the letter to the Romans<\/p>\n
325
\n00:23:41,200 –> 00:23:44,640
\ncan say about him what the law
\ncould not do, in that it was <\/p>\n
326
\n00:23:44,640 –> 00:23:47,480
\nweak through the flesh, God
\nsending his own Son in the <\/p>\n
327
\n00:23:47,480 –> 00:23:51,120
\nlikeness of flesh of sin.
\nAnd as an. <\/p>\n
328
\n00:23:51,120 –> 00:23:54,400
\nOffering for sin in the flesh
\ncondemned sin. <\/p>\n
329
\n00:23:57,000 –> 00:24:00,280
\nI have purposely reworded that.
\nSo that I didn’t. <\/p>\n
330
\n00:24:00,280 –> 00:24:02,360
\nHave to say that I’m going to
\nsay it now to dismiss it. <\/p>\n
331
\n00:24:03,240 –> 00:24:09,120
\nSin in the flesh.
\nIn the flesh he overcame sin. <\/p>\n
332
\n00:24:10,560 –> 00:24:14,320
\nHe defeated sin because God had
\nsent him in the kind of person <\/p>\n
333
\n00:24:14,480 –> 00:24:18,320
\nwhich made that necessary.
\nThe Lord was. <\/p>\n
334
\n00:24:18,320 –> 00:24:23,520
\nIn the likeness of flesh of sin,
\njust like it he made in all <\/p>\n
335
\n00:24:23,520 –> 00:24:30,120
\npoints like unto his brethren.
\nAnd though he were a son, yet <\/p>\n
336
\n00:24:30,120 –> 00:24:32,840
\nlearned he obedience by the
\nthings that he suffered. <\/p>\n
337
\n00:24:35,680 –> 00:24:39,400
\nWe must, of course.
\nGive examples, he was Pour the <\/p>\n
338
\n00:24:39,400 –> 00:24:43,040
\nLord through some of the
\ntemptations of his life and see <\/p>\n
339
\n00:24:43,040 –> 00:24:45,760
\nhow keen they were, and stand
\nback and marvel at his <\/p>\n
340
\n00:24:45,760 –> 00:24:49,360
\nvictories.
\nWe’ve done it. <\/p>\n
341
\n00:24:49,360 –> 00:24:53,760
\nAlready with his baptism.
\nWe are left. <\/p>\n
342
\n00:24:53,760 –> 00:24:58,920
\nFrom that to his temptations in
\nthe Wilderness, described in <\/p>\n
343
\n00:24:58,920 –> 00:25:05,440
\nsimilar terms in Matthew chapter
\n4 and in Luke chapter four, with<\/p>\n
344
\n00:25:05,440 –> 00:25:09,080
\none interesting difference that
\nthey’re not given in the same <\/p>\n
345
\n00:25:09,080 –> 00:25:12,200
\norder and somebody perhaps will
\ntell me why if I haven’t run the<\/p>\n
346
\n00:25:12,200 –> 00:25:15,440
\nrisk of telling you why before
\nthis talk comes to an end. <\/p>\n
347
\n00:25:17,800 –> 00:25:20,880
\nBut in Matthew there are turn
\nstones into bread. <\/p>\n
348
\n00:25:22,560 –> 00:25:25,040
\nThrow yourself.
\nDown from this exalted place <\/p>\n
349
\n00:25:26,800 –> 00:25:29,240
\nworship me and take all the
\nkingdoms of the world and. <\/p>\n
350
\n00:25:31,280 –> 00:25:32,960
\nThen Luke the.
\nOther two are reversed. <\/p>\n
351
\n00:25:33,480 –> 00:25:37,360
\nIt’s turned stones into bread.
\nWorship me and take the kingdoms<\/p>\n
352
\n00:25:38,080 –> 00:25:41,280
\nand throw yourself down from
\nthis exalted place. <\/p>\n
353
\n00:25:41,840 –> 00:25:46,560
\nThe Matthew 1 looks more
\nsequential, but the Luke one is <\/p>\n
354
\n00:25:46,560 –> 00:25:48,320
\nthere.
\nIt’s not the same sequence. <\/p>\n
355
\n00:25:50,080 –> 00:25:54,200
\nI don’t believe they contradict.
\nYes, I may get succumb to <\/p>\n
356
\n00:25:54,200 –> 00:25:57,440
\ntelling what I do think they do.
\nBut the moment? <\/p>\n
357
\n00:25:57,440 –> 00:25:59,520
\nAll three are there.
\nLet’s look at them, shall we? <\/p>\n
358
\n00:25:59,520 –> 00:26:06,320
\nIn the Matthew Record, Matthew
\nchapter 4. <\/p>\n
359
\n00:26:06,320 –> 00:26:10,240
\nThe 1st 11 verses are the
\nrelevant verses, but we won’t <\/p>\n
360
\n00:26:10,240 –> 00:26:11,880
\nnecessarily read right through
\nit. <\/p>\n
361
\n00:26:18,600 –> 00:26:20,640
\nWe learned.
\nThat Jesus was led by the Spirit<\/p>\n
362
\n00:26:20,640 –> 00:26:22,880
\ninto the wilderness to be
\ntempted by the devil. <\/p>\n
363
\n00:26:24,440 –> 00:26:26,720
\nOr in Matthew.
\nThat he was driven by the Spirit<\/p>\n
364
\n00:26:26,720 –> 00:26:28,960
\ninto the wilderness to be
\ntempted by the devil that was in<\/p>\n
365
\n00:26:28,960 –> 00:26:30,160
\nMark.
\nI’m sorry, that second one. <\/p>\n
366
\n00:26:31,520 –> 00:26:33,880
\nAs though the Lord.
\nFresh from the victory of his <\/p>\n
367
\n00:26:33,880 –> 00:26:42,680
\nbaptism, was obliged to meet his
\nnature in the Roar and deal with<\/p>\n
368
\n00:26:42,680 –> 00:26:45,480
\nthe temptations to which it
\nmight have succumbed. <\/p>\n
369
\n00:26:48,240 –> 00:26:53,760
\nNo, I know there are alternative
\nviews of this passage, and I <\/p>\n
370
\n00:26:53,760 –> 00:26:56,400
\nknow that those who are anxious
\nto safeguard the total <\/p>\n
371
\n00:26:56,400 –> 00:26:59,600
\nrighteousness of our Lord and I
\nwill yield to nobody. <\/p>\n
372
\n00:26:59,600 –> 00:27:03,920
\nAnd being anxious to do the same
\nthing sometimes, be it their <\/p>\n
373
\n00:27:03,920 –> 00:27:08,560
\nduty to deny that He could have
\nthought about the things which I<\/p>\n
374
\n00:27:08,560 –> 00:27:15,000
\nhere suggested, and for that
\nreason amongst others, wish to <\/p>\n
375
\n00:27:15,000 –> 00:27:18,880
\ntake the record completely
\nliterally and make that devil a <\/p>\n
376
\n00:27:18,880 –> 00:27:21,240
\nperson.
\nSo that there is. <\/p>\n
377
\n00:27:21,240 –> 00:27:26,120
\nA dialogue between someone,
\nwhoever he is, or someone’s <\/p>\n
378
\n00:27:26,280 –> 00:27:30,800
\nwhoever they are, who speak to
\nthe Lord and suggest a course of<\/p>\n
379
\n00:27:30,800 –> 00:27:35,120
\naction.
\nI know. <\/p>\n
380
\n00:27:35,120 –> 00:27:37,720
\nToo that such pieces may go
\nfurther. <\/p>\n
381
\n00:27:38,320 –> 00:27:40,520
\nAnd they say it wasn’t really
\ntemptation. <\/p>\n
382
\n00:27:40,520 –> 00:27:48,400
\nAs you and I know it, he’s
\nrather a trial, a test, a dry <\/p>\n
383
\n00:27:48,400 –> 00:27:50,400
\nrun to see if he really was the
\nSon of God. <\/p>\n
384
\n00:27:52,160 –> 00:27:54,240
\nProves you as.
\nThey say this person or person <\/p>\n
385
\n00:27:54,240 –> 00:27:57,440
\nsaid that you really are the
\ngood son of God by doing the <\/p>\n
386
\n00:27:57,440 –> 00:28:00,000
\nappropriate signs that make it
\nimpossible to deny it. <\/p>\n
387
\n00:28:00,680 –> 00:28:04,040
\nTurn stones into bread.
\nThrow yourself. <\/p>\n
388
\n00:28:04,040 –> 00:28:08,600
\nUnder harm from the pinnacle of
\nthe temple and assume some kind <\/p>\n
389
\n00:28:08,600 –> 00:28:09,960
\nof authority.
\nI’m not quite sure what this <\/p>\n
390
\n00:28:09,960 –> 00:28:12,240
\ncould be.
\nOver the kingdoms. <\/p>\n
391
\n00:28:12,240 –> 00:28:13,920
\nOf the earth.
\nIf you do that, we’ll be obliged<\/p>\n
392
\n00:28:13,920 –> 00:28:16,000
\nto believe in you.
\nThat’s what they say. <\/p>\n
393
\n00:28:17,480 –> 00:28:21,680
\nAnd the tests then become not
\ntests of His integrity and His <\/p>\n
394
\n00:28:21,680 –> 00:28:25,280
\nHoliness and his sinlessness,
\nbut test of his office, which <\/p>\n
395
\n00:28:25,280 –> 00:28:27,240
\nfor other reasons that are
\nrejected. <\/p>\n
396
\n00:28:30,400 –> 00:28:33,000
\nI can’t see it that way.
\nAnd I don’t want to. <\/p>\n
397
\n00:28:35,520 –> 00:28:39,120
\nI don’t mind if a voice from
\noutside spoke these words. <\/p>\n
398
\n00:28:41,200 –> 00:28:43,400
\nIf it is felt.
\nWe must construe Matthew poor <\/p>\n
399
\n00:28:43,400 –> 00:28:45,200
\nand Luke for us, meaning that
\nsome. <\/p>\n
400
\n00:28:45,960 –> 00:28:47,920
\nAll the person.
\nAnd the Lord came and spoke the <\/p>\n
401
\n00:28:47,920 –> 00:28:50,080
\nwords.
\nIf you are the Son of God, turn <\/p>\n
402
\n00:28:50,080 –> 00:28:53,040
\nthese stones into bread.
\nIf you are the Son of God, throw<\/p>\n
403
\n00:28:53,040 –> 00:28:54,480
\nyourself down from this
\npinnacle. <\/p>\n
404
\n00:28:55,840 –> 00:28:59,160
\nAnd then all these things I will
\ngive you, you’ll fall down and <\/p>\n
405
\n00:28:59,160 –> 00:29:02,560
\nworship me.
\nIf it is told we must. <\/p>\n
406
\n00:29:02,560 –> 00:29:04,560
\nAccept that those were spoken by
\nsomebody else. <\/p>\n
407
\n00:29:05,840 –> 00:29:09,080
\nI could live with those who
\naccepted it like that. <\/p>\n
408
\n00:29:11,440 –> 00:29:13,320
\nBut it doesn’t.
\nAlter the case at all. <\/p>\n
409
\n00:29:15,360 –> 00:29:17,120
\nIt has its own.
\nProblems in how such a one, <\/p>\n
410
\n00:29:17,120 –> 00:29:19,920
\nwhoever he was, could have given
\nthe Lord all the kingdoms of the<\/p>\n
411
\n00:29:19,920 –> 00:29:22,200
\nearth, or could have induced the
\nLord to believe that he might <\/p>\n
412
\n00:29:22,200 –> 00:29:28,040
\nhave done.
\nBut provided that we accept that<\/p>\n
413
\n00:29:28,040 –> 00:29:36,440
\nwhat I’ve always spoken was
\nunderstood, perceived, felt and <\/p>\n
414
\n00:29:36,440 –> 00:29:40,680
\nrejected, I have no problem
\nbelieving that somebody else <\/p>\n
415
\n00:29:40,680 –> 00:29:44,960
\nmight have said it.
\nBut whoever said it. <\/p>\n
416
\n00:29:46,200 –> 00:29:48,960
\nWhen the words.
\nIf thou be the Son of God, <\/p>\n
417
\n00:29:49,720 –> 00:29:54,120
\nturned these stones into bread.
\nThough I would not. <\/p>\n
418
\n00:29:54,120 –> 00:29:56,440
\nOnly have known what he meant,
\nwhich he obviously would. <\/p>\n
419
\n00:29:58,440 –> 00:30:00,680
\nNormally nobody had the power.
\nTo do it. <\/p>\n
420
\n00:30:03,120 –> 00:30:05,320
\nWe would have.
\nFelt the urge to do it. <\/p>\n
421
\n00:30:06,800 –> 00:30:10,560
\nWe’ll have met that urge and
\ndefeated it and gained a <\/p>\n
422
\n00:30:10,560 –> 00:30:13,520
\nvictory.
\nVery good goes. <\/p>\n
423
\n00:30:13,520 –> 00:30:18,440
\nOut of its way to tell us it was
\nvery, very hungry after a 40 <\/p>\n
424
\n00:30:18,440 –> 00:30:22,080
\ndays passed.
\nAnd then he should. <\/p>\n
425
\n00:30:22,080 –> 00:30:25,280
\nPut it in that way, it needs me
\nin no doubt that it was an <\/p>\n
426
\n00:30:25,280 –> 00:30:27,800
\nappeal to that hunger.
\nYou don’t need to be hungry. <\/p>\n
427
\n00:30:29,080 –> 00:30:30,720
\nAll you have to.
\nDo is to snap your fingers and <\/p>\n
428
\n00:30:30,720 –> 00:30:39,320
\nthere’ll be a banquet made out
\nof stones, whatever that was by <\/p>\n
429
\n00:30:39,320 –> 00:30:41,440
\nway of proving his office.
\nAnd it would have done something<\/p>\n
430
\n00:30:41,440 –> 00:30:46,280
\nabout that, I suppose it was an
\nurge to the Lord to do this <\/p>\n
431
\n00:30:47,720 –> 00:30:53,480
\ntotally unacceptable thing of
\ntaking the powers he possesses <\/p>\n
432
\n00:30:53,480 –> 00:30:59,280
\nbecause he is Son of God and
\nusing them without permission to<\/p>\n
433
\n00:30:59,280 –> 00:31:01,920
\nratify the hunger he suffered
\nfrom because he is Son of Man, <\/p>\n
434
\n00:31:04,040 –> 00:31:09,800
\nturning God’s powers to human
\nusage gratuitously, without so <\/p>\n
435
\n00:31:09,800 –> 00:31:14,960
\nmuch as a bag.
\nYou leave, and the Lord’s answer<\/p>\n
436
\n00:31:14,960 –> 00:31:17,160
\nto that it is written.
\nMan doth not live by bread <\/p>\n
437
\n00:31:17,160 –> 00:31:20,040
\nalone, but by having the word
\nthat proceedeth out of the mouth<\/p>\n
438
\n00:31:20,040 –> 00:31:22,720
\nof God is an answer not just.
\nI won’t do it. <\/p>\n
439
\n00:31:24,160 –> 00:31:26,640
\nBut however.
\nAttempting it may be it would be<\/p>\n
440
\n00:31:26,640 –> 00:31:30,720
\nincompatible with my
\nrelationship with God, whose <\/p>\n
441
\n00:31:30,720 –> 00:31:35,240
\nevery word I must follow.
\nWhose word is life. <\/p>\n
442
\n00:31:38,240 –> 00:31:40,840
\nInteresting.
\nIf you go back to the the part <\/p>\n
443
\n00:31:40,840 –> 00:31:45,160
\nof Deuteronomy which the Lord is
\nthere quoted, new light comes <\/p>\n
444
\n00:31:45,160 –> 00:31:47,800
\ninto its meaning.
\nThe Lord thy God to do with <\/p>\n
445
\n00:31:47,800 –> 00:31:49,440
\nmanner in the wilderness, said
\nMoses. <\/p>\n
446
\n00:31:49,760 –> 00:31:52,400
\nThe Lord might just know the man
\ndoes not live by bread alone, <\/p>\n
447
\n00:31:52,720 –> 00:31:54,760
\nbut by every word that
\nproceedeth from the mouth of <\/p>\n
448
\n00:31:54,760 –> 00:31:59,240
\nGod.
\nGod short seconded the course of<\/p>\n
449
\n00:31:59,240 –> 00:32:05,320
\nnature.
\nWhen there was no food, the Lord<\/p>\n
450
\n00:32:05,480 –> 00:32:07,080
\ndid.
\nWhat had there been food has <\/p>\n
451
\n00:32:07,080 –> 00:32:09,160
\ntaken you hours and days and
\nweeks to do. <\/p>\n
452
\n00:32:10,280 –> 00:32:12,440
\nYou’d have sown the seed.
\nThe grain would have grown the <\/p>\n
453
\n00:32:12,720 –> 00:32:15,000
\nthe.
\nShoots would have ripened. <\/p>\n
454
\n00:32:15,000 –> 00:32:16,640
\nThe ears would have ripened on
\nthe shoots. <\/p>\n
455
\n00:32:17,560 –> 00:32:18,760
\nYou would have harbited the
\ngrain. <\/p>\n
456
\n00:32:18,760 –> 00:32:20,480
\nYou would have taken away the
\nstalk. <\/p>\n
457
\n00:32:20,480 –> 00:32:23,160
\nYou’d have winnered away the
\nears, You’d have ground the <\/p>\n
458
\n00:32:23,160 –> 00:32:25,320
\ngrain.
\nYou will bake the flour, and <\/p>\n
459
\n00:32:25,320 –> 00:32:26,640
\nthen you would have been able to
\neat it. <\/p>\n
460
\n00:32:28,520 –> 00:32:32,200
\nBut the moment God says
\npleasure, food thereby, God <\/p>\n
461
\n00:32:32,320 –> 00:32:37,320
\nproved his power to feed in that
\nand every other way. <\/p>\n
462
\n00:32:37,680 –> 00:32:42,600
\nThe Lord Jesus Christ knew that.
\nTo be faced. <\/p>\n
463
\n00:32:42,600 –> 00:32:46,440
\nWith the possibility of
\nanticipating the need for that <\/p>\n
464
\n00:32:46,440 –> 00:32:49,120
\nby using his own powers for
\nsomething he would not do, God <\/p>\n
465
\n00:32:49,120 –> 00:32:54,240
\nwill feed me when it pleases
\nhim, I’m sure, he said. <\/p>\n
466
\n00:32:55,920 –> 00:33:01,360
\nAnd having said it once, he
\ncould say it again As for. <\/p>\n
467
\n00:33:01,360 –> 00:33:03,280
\nExample when he.
\nTalked to the woman by the well <\/p>\n
468
\n00:33:03,280 –> 00:33:06,880
\nin Samaria John, Chapter 4.
\nAnd. <\/p>\n
469
\n00:33:07,480 –> 00:33:10,040
\nHis disciples went on into
\nPsycho to buy bread and they <\/p>\n
470
\n00:33:10,040 –> 00:33:11,880
\ncame back and they said Master
\neat. <\/p>\n
471
\n00:33:14,800 –> 00:33:19,240
\nAnd the Lord who was too busy to
\neat at that time, talking to a <\/p>\n
472
\n00:33:19,240 –> 00:33:22,560
\nwoman that was a Sinner and
\nseeking to assuage her sins, <\/p>\n
473
\n00:33:23,320 –> 00:33:28,560
\nsaid, I have meat to eat that
\nshe know not of my meat, is to <\/p>\n
474
\n00:33:28,560 –> 00:33:30,840
\ndo the will of him that sent me
\nto finish his work. <\/p>\n
475
\n00:33:32,720 –> 00:33:34,960
\nAnd I wouldn’t be surprised.
\nIf the Lord was saying they’re <\/p>\n
476
\n00:33:34,960 –> 00:33:38,320
\nnot just.
\nI’d rather savour the. <\/p>\n
477
\n00:33:38,320 –> 00:33:43,000
\nWill of God than gratify my
\nhuman appetites, was also saying<\/p>\n
478
\n00:33:43,640 –> 00:33:47,360
\nGod can keep me alive in any way
\nthat suits him while I’m engaged<\/p>\n
479
\n00:33:47,360 –> 00:33:49,480
\nin his work.
\nHe’s not critical. <\/p>\n
480
\n00:33:49,480 –> 00:33:53,760
\nI should eat just now.
\nI can turn to that when this <\/p>\n
481
\n00:33:53,760 –> 00:33:57,640
\npresent meal is over, doing the
\nwill of God. <\/p>\n
482
\n00:34:00,320 –> 00:34:02,800
\nIt’s a very.
\nLovely thing that each <\/p>\n
483
\n00:34:02,800 –> 00:34:06,960
\ntemptation the Lord endured in
\nthe wilderness, but boy, it’s <\/p>\n
484
\n00:34:06,960 –> 00:34:10,360
\nfruits in later life.
\nBut he who would? <\/p>\n
485
\n00:34:10,360 –> 00:34:12,960
\nNot turn stones to bread on his
\nown account. <\/p>\n
486
\n00:34:14,360 –> 00:34:16,880
\nWould not.
\nMultiply food to take him <\/p>\n
487
\n00:34:16,880 –> 00:34:19,480
\nthrough the journeys which he
\nmust endure in the Lord’s <\/p>\n
488
\n00:34:19,480 –> 00:34:22,480
\nservice, but would wait till
\nsomebody gave him a crust to <\/p>\n
489
\n00:34:22,480 –> 00:34:24,280
\neat.
\nOr rich. <\/p>\n
490
\n00:34:24,280 –> 00:34:26,480
\nWomen ministered to him of their
\nsubstance. <\/p>\n
491
\n00:34:27,920 –> 00:34:29,639
\nOr in the feeding.
\nOf the 5000. <\/p>\n
492
\n00:34:31,120 –> 00:34:32,840
\nHe and his.
\nDisciples could pick up 12 <\/p>\n
493
\n00:34:32,880 –> 00:34:36,360
\nbasket full of the scraps they
\nleft behind, and might it be <\/p>\n
494
\n00:34:36,960 –> 00:34:44,440
\ntake them home for supper, using
\nwhat men had rejected, who was <\/p>\n
495
\n00:34:44,440 –> 00:34:46,400
\nrich and for our sakes became
\npoor. <\/p>\n
496
\n00:34:49,520 –> 00:34:53,480
\nSo we lose so much if we do not
\nsee that temptation as a <\/p>\n
497
\n00:34:53,480 –> 00:34:59,560
\ntemptation in every sense of the
\nterm, all its attractions being <\/p>\n
498
\n00:34:59,560 –> 00:35:03,800
\nplain to the Lord being seen and
\nknown, and in the full knowledge<\/p>\n
499
\n00:35:03,800 –> 00:35:06,680
\nof them, rejected.
\nWe don’t do. <\/p>\n
500
\n00:35:06,680 –> 00:35:10,040
\nAny service to the Lord.
\nMy imagine he couldn’t have <\/p>\n
501
\n00:35:10,040 –> 00:35:13,520
\nthought of things like that,
\nbecause if he couldn’t have <\/p>\n
502
\n00:35:13,520 –> 00:35:15,560
\nthought of them, they couldn’t
\nhave tempted him, and he <\/p>\n
503
\n00:35:15,560 –> 00:35:19,160
\ncouldn’t have won a victory.
\nAnd so they could have been <\/p>\n
504
\n00:35:19,160 –> 00:35:21,680
\nthought about, and they were a
\ntemptation they would totally <\/p>\n
505
\n00:35:21,680 –> 00:35:23,840
\novercome.
\nAnd there’s a victory not down <\/p>\n
506
\n00:35:23,840 –> 00:35:27,200
\nto the Lord’s credit, that
\nwithout that he would never have<\/p>\n
507
\n00:35:27,200 –> 00:35:30,400
\nhad.
\nIt’s the same with the angels. <\/p>\n
508
\n00:35:32,360 –> 00:35:34,840
\nHow tempting it would have been,
\nhaving got to the pinnacle of <\/p>\n
509
\n00:35:34,840 –> 00:35:40,200
\nthe temple, if he did literally
\nget there, to plunge himself <\/p>\n
510
\n00:35:40,200 –> 00:35:43,040
\ndown from that with absolute
\nassurance that he’ll give his <\/p>\n
511
\n00:35:43,040 –> 00:35:45,520
\nangels charge concerning thee,
\nand in their hands they shall <\/p>\n
512
\n00:35:45,520 –> 00:35:47,760
\nbear thee up.
\nThis is anytime thou dash thy <\/p>\n
513
\n00:35:47,760 –> 00:35:50,920
\nfoot against a stone and throw
\nhimself down with an admiring <\/p>\n
514
\n00:35:50,920 –> 00:35:55,480
\nmustard, gaping on and wandering
\nas he was safely parachuted to <\/p>\n
515
\n00:35:55,480 –> 00:35:59,040
\nthe ground by the angels that
\nGod sent to ensure his safety. <\/p>\n
516
\n00:36:00,800 –> 00:36:02,880
\nOh, it would have.
\nBeen a wonderful opportunity of <\/p>\n
517
\n00:36:03,240 –> 00:36:06,040
\nacting a drama before an
\nappreciative and gobbling <\/p>\n
518
\n00:36:06,040 –> 00:36:09,800
\nmultitude and having them follow
\nhim for the wonders sake. <\/p>\n
519
\n00:36:12,080 –> 00:36:13,720
\nAnd that he would not.
\nDo that then. <\/p>\n
520
\n00:36:15,320 –> 00:36:17,320
\nStrengthen him I.
\nHave no doubt against every <\/p>\n
521
\n00:36:17,320 –> 00:36:20,160
\nother occasion to do related
\nthings when they desired him <\/p>\n
522
\n00:36:20,160 –> 00:36:22,920
\naside from heaven, and they
\nwouldn’t give them one. <\/p>\n
523
\n00:36:25,920 –> 00:36:29,440
\nThe same with the kingdoms of
\nthe world in a moment of time <\/p>\n
524
\n00:36:29,440 –> 00:36:33,920
\nwhich he saw.
\nI will repeat one. <\/p>\n
525
\n00:36:33,920 –> 00:36:37,760
\nThing about an earlier
\nexposition of that, if only to <\/p>\n
526
\n00:36:37,760 –> 00:36:41,200
\ngive publicity to the
\nmathematical acumen of our <\/p>\n
527
\n00:36:41,200 –> 00:36:44,880
\nchairman of today.
\nIt was some years ago. <\/p>\n
528
\n00:36:46,560 –> 00:36:48,640
\nAnd I wanted.
\nTo get a picture as to how far <\/p>\n
529
\n00:36:48,640 –> 00:36:53,000
\nsomeone could see from a real
\nhigh mountain on a clear day. <\/p>\n
530
\n00:36:53,000 –> 00:36:55,200
\nIf you could look around and his
\neyesight was good. <\/p>\n
531
\n00:36:57,320 –> 00:36:59,120
\nSo for the.
\nSake of the occasion, I imported<\/p>\n
532
\n00:36:59,120 –> 00:37:01,360
\nMount Everest into the
\nwilderness of Judea, which was <\/p>\n
533
\n00:37:01,360 –> 00:37:04,280
\nthe highest pinnacle I could
\nthink of, and approximated its <\/p>\n
534
\n00:37:04,280 –> 00:37:07,560
\nheight to 6 miles, which is not
\nquite right. <\/p>\n
535
\n00:37:09,240 –> 00:37:11,480
\nAnd then I told.
\nMy audience that if the Lord <\/p>\n
536
\n00:37:11,480 –> 00:37:14,360
\nJesus Christ were there and he
\nlooked all around him, there was<\/p>\n
537
\n00:37:14,360 –> 00:37:17,320
\nnothing in the way.
\nHis eyesight was perfect. <\/p>\n
538
\n00:37:18,080 –> 00:37:24,600
\nThere was no quasi Los Angeles
\nsmog you can see for 220 miles. <\/p>\n
539
\n00:37:26,720 –> 00:37:28,320
\nWe should have been.
\nLess than 1\/4 of the way across <\/p>\n
540
\n00:37:28,320 –> 00:37:34,920
\nthe island of Cyprus and oh,
\nmaybe 1\/6 of the way to Rome and<\/p>\n
541
\n00:37:34,920 –> 00:37:38,920
\nmy diligent, accurate,
\nmathematical president. <\/p>\n
542
\n00:37:39,520 –> 00:37:43,200
\nHe wasn’t president then came to
\nus and said you’ve got it wrong.<\/p>\n
543
\n00:37:45,120 –> 00:37:49,800
\nI said, oh, he said yes.
\nIt wasn’t 220 miles, it was 219.<\/p>\n
544
\n00:37:52,120 –> 00:37:53,200
\nWell, I was.
\nGrateful for that. <\/p>\n
545
\n00:37:53,200 –> 00:37:54,960
\nI’ve actually watched it out
\nmyself beforehand, and I knew <\/p>\n
546
\n00:37:54,960 –> 00:37:57,160
\nthat.
\nI also knew that Everest isn’t <\/p>\n
547
\n00:37:57,160 –> 00:37:59,200
\nexactly 6 miles high, so it’s
\ngoing to be a bit of a guess <\/p>\n
548
\n00:37:59,200 –> 00:38:01,800
\nanyhow.
\nBut the important thing is that <\/p>\n
549
\n00:38:01,800 –> 00:38:04,280
\nif you’re seeing with your own
\neyes what can be seen from any <\/p>\n
550
\n00:38:04,280 –> 00:38:07,640
\nmountain, however high.
\nYou couldn’t. <\/p>\n
551
\n00:38:07,880 –> 00:38:10,520
\nFrom the highest of them all,
\nsee further than about 1\/6 of <\/p>\n
552
\n00:38:10,520 –> 00:38:14,120
\nthe way to Rome.
\nAnd though you couldn’t with <\/p>\n
553
\n00:38:14,120 –> 00:38:16,400
\nyour own unaided.
\nEyes or seen anything like all <\/p>\n
554
\n00:38:16,400 –> 00:38:18,600
\nthe kingdoms of the world, of
\nthe glory of them you couldn’t <\/p>\n
555
\n00:38:18,600 –> 00:38:22,800
\nsee their capital even.
\nBut it doesn’t. <\/p>\n
556
\n00:38:22,800 –> 00:38:26,160
\nMatter by 1 means or another,
\nThe Lord upon his high mountain <\/p>\n
557
\n00:38:26,960 –> 00:38:29,920
\nsaw clearly the kingdoms of the
\nearth and the glory of them. <\/p>\n
558
\n00:38:31,600 –> 00:38:33,480
\nAs clear.
\nAs Ezekiel, upon the very high <\/p>\n
559
\n00:38:33,480 –> 00:38:36,400
\nmountain of chapter 40 of his
\nbook, saw the frame of the city <\/p>\n
560
\n00:38:36,400 –> 00:38:39,520
\nof Jerusalem.
\nAs clearly as. <\/p>\n
561
\n00:38:39,520 –> 00:38:43,600
\nJohn in the vision of chapter 21
\nwas put on his high mountain and<\/p>\n
562
\n00:38:43,600 –> 00:38:45,920
\nsaw the New Jerusalem coming
\ndown from God out of the heaven.<\/p>\n
563
\n00:38:47,600 –> 00:38:49,680
\nThat the.
\nLord saw in whatever way the <\/p>\n
564
\n00:38:49,680 –> 00:38:52,680
\nLord does see things and was
\ngiven the opportunity. <\/p>\n
565
\n00:38:52,840 –> 00:38:54,520
\nTake it.
\nTake it now take it the quick <\/p>\n
566
\n00:38:54,520 –> 00:38:58,080
\nway.
\nDon’t worry about the sufferings<\/p>\n
567
\n00:39:00,280 –> 00:39:05,040
\nand declined to do so.
\nThus worship the Lord thy God, <\/p>\n
568
\n00:39:05,280 –> 00:39:09,760
\nand him alone shalt thou serve.
\nThat must be. <\/p>\n
569
\n00:39:09,760 –> 00:39:12,120
\nA great strength to him when
\nthey came and tried to take him <\/p>\n
570
\n00:39:12,120 –> 00:39:15,080
\nby force and make him a king
\nafter the feeding of the 5000. <\/p>\n
571
\n00:39:17,280 –> 00:39:19,240
\nIt must.
\nWith the second case have been a<\/p>\n
572
\n00:39:19,240 –> 00:39:22,080
\ngreat precedent for him.
\nWhen later, as he came mounted <\/p>\n
573
\n00:39:22,080 –> 00:39:25,000
\nupon a donkey through the walls
\nof Jerusalem, they spread their <\/p>\n
574
\n00:39:25,000 –> 00:39:27,960
\ngarments and their palm these in
\nthe way, and call up Hosanna in <\/p>\n
575
\n00:39:27,960 –> 00:39:30,600
\nthe pious.
\nBlessed be the Kingdom of David,<\/p>\n
576
\n00:39:30,720 –> 00:39:32,760
\nblessed be he that cometh in the
\nname of the Lord. <\/p>\n
577
\n00:39:34,400 –> 00:39:35,520
\nOn all three.
\nOccasions. <\/p>\n
578
\n00:39:35,520 –> 00:39:38,080
\nHe rejected the kingdoms in the
\nterms in which they offered it. <\/p>\n
579
\n00:39:38,240 –> 00:39:42,360
\nMy Kingdom is not of this world.
\nIf my Kingdom were of this <\/p>\n
580
\n00:39:42,360 –> 00:39:44,080
\nworld, then would my servants
\nfight? <\/p>\n
581
\n00:39:46,680 –> 00:39:48,400
\nSo whatever you think about the
\nmechanism. <\/p>\n
582
\n00:39:48,400 –> 00:39:50,280
\nWhereby the Lord was tempted in
\nthe wilderness. <\/p>\n
583
\n00:39:50,480 –> 00:39:52,840
\nDon’t plead it.
\nIt’ll attempt to whittle away <\/p>\n
584
\n00:39:52,840 –> 00:39:55,400
\nits temptation.
\nFor if you do. <\/p>\n
585
\n00:39:55,400 –> 00:40:00,720
\nYou whittle away the victory.
\nYou can’t see the Lord’s utter <\/p>\n
586
\n00:40:00,720 –> 00:40:05,440
\novercoming of the things of this
\nlife which he could savor <\/p>\n
587
\n00:40:05,440 –> 00:40:07,600
\nbecause he came in the likeness
\nflesh of sin. <\/p>\n
588
\n00:40:09,960 –> 00:40:11,440
\nHe learned the.
\nVideos by the Things that he <\/p>\n
589
\n00:40:11,440 –> 00:40:13,000
\nSuffered Suffered.
\nFrom. <\/p>\n
590
\n00:40:13,000 –> 00:40:15,000
\nThe ideas that wouldn’t believe
\nin him, suffer from those who <\/p>\n
591
\n00:40:15,000 –> 00:40:18,240
\nmocked him, suffered from the
\nhunger and thirst and sorrow <\/p>\n
592
\n00:40:18,240 –> 00:40:21,160
\nthat came to him, and suffered
\nultimately upon the cross. <\/p>\n
593
\n00:40:21,600 –> 00:40:24,520
\nThe Lord’s obedience was hard,
\nwon every inch of the way <\/p>\n
594
\n00:40:25,720 –> 00:40:30,040
\nagainst every possible
\ntemptation, and yielded not a <\/p>\n
595
\n00:40:30,040 –> 00:40:33,680
\nwit.
\nI said there were. <\/p>\n
596
\n00:40:33,680 –> 00:40:36,880
\nOthers, and of course there
\nwere. <\/p>\n
597
\n00:40:38,800 –> 00:40:40,880
\nIt would have been a.
\nTemptation, wouldn’t it, when <\/p>\n
598
\n00:40:41,520 –> 00:40:44,120
\nthe sons of Germany said to him.
\nBut look at those horrible <\/p>\n
599
\n00:40:44,120 –> 00:40:46,240
\nSamaritans who won’t give you a
\nhome for the night just because <\/p>\n
600
\n00:40:46,240 –> 00:40:48,280
\nyou’re going to Jerusalem.
\nShall we destroy them? <\/p>\n
601
\n00:40:49,520 –> 00:40:51,240
\nShall we call?
\nDown fire from heaven and <\/p>\n
602
\n00:40:51,240 –> 00:40:56,440
\nconsume them as Elijah did.
\nLord must have known the <\/p>\n
603
\n00:40:57,040 –> 00:41:00,720
\nfeelings inside the heart of
\nthose who come in flesh of sin, <\/p>\n
604
\n00:41:00,720 –> 00:41:06,000
\nwho want vengeance and redress.
\nSo he must have thought that, <\/p>\n
605
\n00:41:06,000 –> 00:41:09,200
\nand answered it for himself
\nbefore he said to them, You know<\/p>\n
606
\n00:41:09,200 –> 00:41:12,080
\nnot what spirit you are of.
\nThe Son of Man has not come to <\/p>\n
607
\n00:41:12,080 –> 00:41:14,040
\ndestroy man’s life, but to save
\nthem there. <\/p>\n
608
\n00:41:16,160 –> 00:41:17,680
\nWould have been.
\nTemptation of some kind when <\/p>\n
609
\n00:41:17,680 –> 00:41:20,640
\nthey said get here out of this
\nplace, go hell looking to kill <\/p>\n
610
\n00:41:20,640 –> 00:41:23,000
\nyou.
\nInstead, he stayed where he was <\/p>\n
611
\n00:41:23,000 –> 00:41:25,400
\nthere.
\nMust have been. <\/p>\n
612
\n00:41:25,400 –> 00:41:27,280
\nTemptation.
\nWhen they said, let Christ the <\/p>\n
613
\n00:41:27,280 –> 00:41:31,320
\nKing of Israel come down from
\nthe cross, and he didn’t take <\/p>\n
614
\n00:41:31,320 –> 00:41:32,920
\nthe opportunity, he might have
\ndone so. <\/p>\n
615
\n00:41:33,680 –> 00:41:36,680
\nThere has been temptation when
\nPeter so pitifully failed with <\/p>\n
616
\n00:41:36,680 –> 00:41:39,400
\nhis one single blade in the
\ngarden of Gethsemane, and the <\/p>\n
617
\n00:41:39,400 –> 00:41:41,880
\nLord could remind him up there
\nthere are more than 12 legions <\/p>\n
618
\n00:41:41,880 –> 00:41:43,760
\nof angels.
\nI could have them if I wanted. <\/p>\n
619
\n00:41:45,320 –> 00:41:49,560
\nTo save me.
\nFrom the Dukes and in not using <\/p>\n
620
\n00:41:49,560 –> 00:41:54,040
\nthem, he must have decided not
\nto use them, maintain this <\/p>\n
621
\n00:41:54,040 –> 00:41:57,760
\ndecision not to use them,
\nrefused to make take advantage <\/p>\n
622
\n00:41:57,760 –> 00:42:01,280
\nof the powers that were his,
\nthat is faced temptation, and <\/p>\n
623
\n00:42:01,280 –> 00:42:05,600
\nbeaten it.
\nOnce referred to. <\/p>\n
624
\n00:42:05,600 –> 00:42:09,280
\nOne actual example and one well,
\nthey’re really both examples of <\/p>\n
625
\n00:42:09,280 –> 00:42:11,880
\nthe way in which the Lord faced
\nand defeated temptation. <\/p>\n
626
\n00:42:12,720 –> 00:42:14,880
\nThe 1st I’ll take from John
\nchapter 12. <\/p>\n
627
\n00:42:19,280 –> 00:42:21,160
\nI don’t know why.
\nMore use isn’t made of this <\/p>\n
628
\n00:42:21,160 –> 00:42:23,480
\nbecause it does it.
\nDoes something. <\/p>\n
629
\n00:42:23,480 –> 00:42:26,200
\nThat needs to be done about the
\ntemptation of the Lord. <\/p>\n
630
\n00:42:27,120 –> 00:42:34,800
\nAnd I don’t.
\nThink it can be again said in <\/p>\n
631
\n00:42:34,800 –> 00:42:39,360
\nJohn chapter 12, verse 25.
\nThe Lord in verse 24 indeed <\/p>\n
632
\n00:42:40,000 –> 00:42:43,920
\ncompares his own life and the
\nfruits of it to a grain of wheat<\/p>\n
633
\n00:42:43,920 –> 00:42:46,320
\nfalling into the ground and
\ndying, and then emerging from <\/p>\n
634
\n00:42:46,320 –> 00:42:48,560
\nits death with abundant
\nfruitfulness. <\/p>\n
635
\n00:42:50,040 –> 00:42:53,600
\nAnd he sees him that the death
\nhe is shortly going to die, as <\/p>\n
636
\n00:42:53,600 –> 00:42:56,640
\nit were, reminds himself of it,
\ncomes, brings it freshly to his <\/p>\n
637
\n00:42:56,640 –> 00:43:02,080
\nmind, opens his diary, and sees
\nwhat he’s going to have to do. <\/p>\n
638
\n00:43:04,880 –> 00:43:07,240
\nAnd by that very fact he’s
\nreminded of what that suffering <\/p>\n
639
\n00:43:07,240 –> 00:43:09,560
\nwill be and how hard it will be
\nto overcome. <\/p>\n
640
\n00:43:11,200 –> 00:43:17,000
\nAnd he says in verse 27, Now is
\nmy soul troubled. <\/p>\n
641
\n00:43:19,360 –> 00:43:20,520
\nAnd what shall?
\nI say. <\/p>\n
642
\n00:43:22,240 –> 00:43:23,760
\nFather save.
\nMe from this hour. <\/p>\n
643
\n00:43:25,640 –> 00:43:29,640
\nLook for this purpose.
\nGo around to this hour, Father. <\/p>\n
644
\n00:43:29,640 –> 00:43:35,280
\nGlorify thy name.
\nNow, I’m sure there were plenty <\/p>\n
645
\n00:43:35,280 –> 00:43:37,800
\nof people listening when the
\nLord said that, but he wasn’t <\/p>\n
646
\n00:43:37,840 –> 00:43:39,880
\ntalking, as it were, to an
\naudience. <\/p>\n
647
\n00:43:39,880 –> 00:43:42,920
\nHe was like laying bare his
\ninmost feelings. <\/p>\n
648
\n00:43:44,400 –> 00:43:46,760
\nBut as death.
\nLoomed so close before him. <\/p>\n
649
\n00:43:47,040 –> 00:43:51,040
\nHe confessed to what it felt
\nlike now. <\/p>\n
650
\n00:43:51,040 –> 00:43:56,960
\nIs my soul troubled?
\nThere are two things I might <\/p>\n
651
\n00:43:56,960 –> 00:44:00,080
\nsay.
\nOne is Father saved me from this<\/p>\n
652
\n00:44:00,120 –> 00:44:03,480
\nhour.
\nThe other I’ll come. <\/p>\n
653
\n00:44:03,480 –> 00:44:07,440
\nTo in a moment.
\nBut the Lord. <\/p>\n
654
\n00:44:07,440 –> 00:44:09,280
\nShould be able to enunciate
\nthose words. <\/p>\n
655
\n00:44:09,280 –> 00:44:14,440
\nShows that he could feel the
\npossibility of saying that see <\/p>\n
656
\n00:44:14,440 –> 00:44:16,640
\nthe human desirability of saying
\nit. <\/p>\n
657
\n00:44:18,000 –> 00:44:20,200
\nView it as.
\nAn escape from the troublings of<\/p>\n
658
\n00:44:20,200 –> 00:44:23,360
\nhis soul.
\nIs that the way I will take? <\/p>\n
659
\n00:44:24,440 –> 00:44:27,880
\nHe asked.
\nAnd then he. <\/p>\n
660
\n00:44:27,880 –> 00:44:30,800
\nAnswers himself and says, but
\nThis is why I’m here. <\/p>\n
661
\n00:44:32,600 –> 00:44:34,680
\nThat’s the purpose.
\nOf which I came, if I were to <\/p>\n
662
\n00:44:34,680 –> 00:44:38,960
\nsay that that would frustrate
\nthe purposes of God, and as it <\/p>\n
663
\n00:44:38,960 –> 00:44:40,440
\nwere.
\nI won’t do it. <\/p>\n
664
\n00:44:40,440 –> 00:44:42,880
\nThis is what I will say, and I
\nwill endure the sufferings and <\/p>\n
665
\n00:44:42,880 –> 00:44:45,120
\nthe troublings and let the
\nFather lead me. <\/p>\n
666
\n00:44:45,120 –> 00:44:47,560
\nIn so doing, I will leave my
\ndeath in his hands. <\/p>\n
667
\n00:44:48,960 –> 00:44:52,440
\nI’ll put away the last urge to
\ngo any other way than his. <\/p>\n
668
\n00:44:54,000 –> 00:44:56,800
\nI will.
\nGlorify his name by putting away<\/p>\n
669
\n00:44:56,800 –> 00:44:59,960
\nall the rebellious and proud
\ndesires of the flesh. <\/p>\n
670
\n00:45:01,000 –> 00:45:04,960
\nI will die that the Father’s
\nglory in my unbroken <\/p>\n
671
\n00:45:04,960 –> 00:45:07,920
\nrighteousness shall be fully
\nestablished. <\/p>\n
672
\n00:45:07,920 –> 00:45:13,520
\nAnd when the Father said in
\nreply to, that I have both <\/p>\n
673
\n00:45:13,520 –> 00:45:19,160
\nglorified it, glorified My name,
\nand I will glorify it again. <\/p>\n
674
\n00:45:20,880 –> 00:45:22,840
\nWhatever.
\nIgnorant people standing by <\/p>\n
675
\n00:45:22,840 –> 00:45:27,200
\nmight think about it, or some
\nsaid it thunders the mother <\/p>\n
676
\n00:45:27,200 –> 00:45:29,560
\nsaid.
\nAn Angel spoke to him. <\/p>\n
677
\n00:45:31,160 –> 00:45:32,840
\nThe Lord knew.
\nThat the Father, who was well <\/p>\n
678
\n00:45:32,840 –> 00:45:36,600
\npleased with his baptism some
\nyears earlier, is now well <\/p>\n
679
\n00:45:36,600 –> 00:45:40,640
\npleased with his resignation and
\nsurrender again, would not fail <\/p>\n
680
\n00:45:40,640 –> 00:45:44,400
\nhim when called upon, and will
\nestablish his glory when the <\/p>\n
681
\n00:45:44,400 –> 00:45:49,320
\nwork succeeded.
\nThe Lord died willingly. <\/p>\n
682
\n00:45:51,360 –> 00:45:54,120
\nBut who was the cup He asked to
\npass from him if it were <\/p>\n
683
\n00:45:54,120 –> 00:45:56,240
\npossible?
\nWhen he prayed. <\/p>\n
684
\n00:45:56,240 –> 00:45:59,320
\nThose words in the garden.
\nFather if it. <\/p>\n
685
\n00:45:59,320 –> 00:46:01,400
\nBe possible, let this cup pass
\nfrom me. <\/p>\n
686
\n00:46:02,200 –> 00:46:04,720
\nNevertheless.
\nNot my will, but thine be done. <\/p>\n
687
\n00:46:06,080 –> 00:46:07,880
\nHis first?
\nDesire was that God’s will <\/p>\n
688
\n00:46:07,880 –> 00:46:10,600
\nshould be paramount.
\nNo human. <\/p>\n
689
\n00:46:10,600 –> 00:46:14,960
\nWill should interfere with it.
\nHe may have wanted. <\/p>\n
690
\n00:46:15,040 –> 00:46:17,160
\nPerhaps.
\nThat the Father. <\/p>\n
691
\n00:46:17,160 –> 00:46:18,760
\nShould remain with him till the
\nend. <\/p>\n
692
\n00:46:19,840 –> 00:46:23,680
\nHe should face death with his
\nhand in the hand of the one who <\/p>\n
693
\n00:46:23,680 –> 00:46:26,280
\nsuckered him.
\nThat there should be. <\/p>\n
694
\n00:46:26,280 –> 00:46:31,240
\nNo period of desolation.
\nIt would seem. <\/p>\n
695
\n00:46:31,240 –> 00:46:35,200
\nThat the Angel who appeared to
\nstrengthen him showed to him <\/p>\n
696
\n00:46:35,200 –> 00:46:38,360
\nthat however deep and great and
\nloving the Father’s concern, <\/p>\n
697
\n00:46:39,560 –> 00:46:43,480
\neven that should be endured this
\nseparation from his father. <\/p>\n
698
\n00:46:44,640 –> 00:46:46,600
\nTo make his.
\nDeath to sin complete. <\/p>\n
699
\n00:46:47,720 –> 00:46:50,520
\nTo cause him.
\nWillingly to die as a criminal <\/p>\n
700
\n00:46:50,520 –> 00:46:53,040
\nmight die.
\nTo be hung. <\/p>\n
701
\n00:46:53,720 –> 00:46:56,120
\nThe Deuteronomy had put it upon
\na tree. <\/p>\n
702
\n00:46:57,000 –> 00:46:58,920
\nBehold be.
\nTaken down that day. <\/p>\n
703
\n00:47:01,480 –> 00:47:03,800
\nSo there was.
\nAt that stage, run from his lips<\/p>\n
704
\n00:47:03,800 –> 00:47:05,840
\nto cry.
\nMy God, my. <\/p>\n
705
\n00:47:05,840 –> 00:47:10,960
\nGod why hast?
\nThou forsaken me, not <\/p>\n
706
\n00:47:10,960 –> 00:47:15,160
\nquestioning the reason, but
\nfinding so painful the fact. <\/p>\n
707
\n00:47:15,840 –> 00:47:18,360
\nThat the cry.
\nCould not be suppressed. <\/p>\n
708
\n00:47:19,120 –> 00:47:22,240
\nHow dreadful it is to die alone,
\nhe said. <\/p>\n
709
\n00:47:24,160 –> 00:47:26,040
\nSo in the.
\nDarkness that fell upon the <\/p>\n
710
\n00:47:26,040 –> 00:47:28,960
\nearth.
\nThe Lord endured his sufferings <\/p>\n
711
\n00:47:29,440 –> 00:47:34,680
\nin silence and in sadness and in
\nseparation, until at last the <\/p>\n
712
\n00:47:34,680 –> 00:47:39,640
\ntime appointed came.
\nAnd seeking not to continue in <\/p>\n
713
\n00:47:39,640 –> 00:47:43,720
\nthis now fast ebbing life, he
\nwillingly gave it up. <\/p>\n
714
\n00:47:45,080 –> 00:47:49,520
\nHe gave up the Spirit.
\nHaving cried, it is finished. <\/p>\n
715
\n00:47:50,840 –> 00:47:53,160
\nFather into.
\nThy hands I commend my spirit. <\/p>\n
716
\n00:47:54,800 –> 00:47:56,640
\nAs though he.
\nFlung out into the darkness the <\/p>\n
717
\n00:47:56,640 –> 00:47:59,960
\nlight that he had carried,
\nknowing that there was one <\/p>\n
718
\n00:47:59,960 –> 00:48:04,120
\nthere, who, however little felt
\nnow was still waiting, watching,<\/p>\n
719
\n00:48:04,440 –> 00:48:10,000
\nloving, ready to help into thy
\nhands, I commend my spirit. <\/p>\n
720
\n00:48:11,280 –> 00:48:13,200
\nHis death was placed in God’s
\nhand. <\/p>\n
721
\n00:48:14,040 –> 00:48:18,640
\nHis life in God’s mercy and
\nfaithfulness, He became obedient<\/p>\n
722
\n00:48:18,640 –> 00:48:21,640
\nunto death, even the death of
\nthe cross. <\/p>\n
723
\n00:48:24,160 –> 00:48:26,080
\nNow the Lord.
\n‘S surrender could never be <\/p>\n
724
\n00:48:26,080 –> 00:48:28,920
\nreversed.
\nNow it’s last. <\/p>\n
725
\n00:48:28,920 –> 00:48:32,280
\nPeriod have been put in place.
\nNow the Lord. <\/p>\n
726
\n00:48:32,280 –> 00:48:34,280
\nWould rest in peace and in
\npurity. <\/p>\n
727
\n00:48:35,080 –> 00:48:37,080
\nUntil that.
\nTime so very short ahead. <\/p>\n
728
\n00:48:37,760 –> 00:48:39,400
\nAnd the Lord would.
\nRaise him from the dead. <\/p>\n
729
\n00:48:41,000 –> 00:48:43,760
\nAll had been surrendered.
\nAll might. <\/p>\n
730
\n00:48:43,760 –> 00:48:48,480
\nNow without peril to God’s glory
\nbe granted, God in Jesus will be<\/p>\n
731
\n00:48:48,480 –> 00:48:52,680
\nAll in all.
\nTherefore God also hath highly <\/p>\n
732
\n00:48:52,680 –> 00:48:56,160
\nexalted him, and given him the
\nname which is above every name. <\/p>\n
733
\n00:48:57,200 –> 00:48:59,360
\nBut at the name.
\nOf Jesus every knee should bow <\/p>\n
734
\n00:49:00,120 –> 00:49:04,240
\nof things in heaven, and things
\nin earth, and things under the <\/p>\n
735
\n00:49:04,240 –> 00:49:08,240
\nearth, and that every time
\nshould confess that Jesus Christ<\/p>\n
736
\n00:49:08,240 –> 00:49:10,640
\nis Lord.
\nTo the glory. <\/p>\n
737
\n00:49:10,640 –> 00:49:17,080
\nOf God the Father I have
\nglorified Thy name thus far. <\/p>\n
738
\n00:49:18,280 –> 00:49:19,440
\nThe Lord had.
\nSeemed to say. <\/p>\n
739
\n00:49:20,640 –> 00:49:22,960
\nIt shall now.
\nBe glorious forever through you,<\/p>\n
740
\n00:49:23,640 –> 00:49:26,400
\nGod says to him.
\nNow is his glorious reply. <\/p>\n
741
\n00:49:28,240 –> 00:49:30,160
\nThe Lord can.
\nBe given the greatness and the <\/p>\n
742
\n00:49:30,160 –> 00:49:31,760
\ntitles that belong to his
\nfather. <\/p>\n
743
\n00:49:33,200 –> 00:49:35,000
\nYet the greatness.
\nAnd the title, even in that <\/p>\n
744
\n00:49:35,000 –> 00:49:36,840
\ngiving, will remain his father
\nstill. <\/p>\n
745
\n00:49:38,400 –> 00:49:40,960
\nThe Holy Will.
\nNot give and lose. <\/p>\n
746
\n00:49:41,280 –> 00:49:45,480
\nWhen the Lord takes, the Father
\nwill give to the Son, whom he <\/p>\n
747
\n00:49:45,520 –> 00:49:47,760
\nwill never lose.
\nThat the Father. <\/p>\n
748
\n00:49:47,760 –> 00:49:51,080
\nAnd Son working together will
\nwork out the purposes of God. <\/p>\n
749
\n00:49:52,400 –> 00:49:55,160
\nThe alpha and.
\nThe Omega, The beginning and the<\/p>\n
750
\n00:49:55,160 –> 00:49:59,000
\nend, the first and the last.
\nWhich was always. <\/p>\n
751
\n00:49:59,000 –> 00:50:01,000
\nThe Father.
\nOur titles. <\/p>\n
752
\n00:50:01,000 –> 00:50:03,840
\nNow which in the Book of
\nRevelation the Son also can <\/p>\n
753
\n00:50:03,840 –> 00:50:08,080
\nshare, having been highly
\nexhausted him, and as Matthew <\/p>\n
754

\nput it, all power having been
\ngiven unto him in heaven and in <\/p>\n
