Class 2 from this series was used in GCT Episode 324.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:03,160 –> 00:00:08,160
\nlooking at this week is the
\nfinal journey of Christ into <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:08,160 –> 00:00:11,040
\nJerusalem.
\nIt’s a, it’s a massive theme in <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:11,040 –> 00:00:14,800
\nthe Gospels of Christ getting to
\nJerusalem, especially that last <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:14,800 –> 00:00:17,480
\nand final journey.
\nHe knew something awaited for <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:17,480 –> 00:00:18,960
\nhim and he knew exactly what it
\nwas. <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:19,360 –> 00:00:22,040
\nBut it seemed the rest of the
\nentire world was confused as to <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:22,240 –> 00:00:25,200
\nwhy Jesus is going and
\njourneying toward Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:25,200 –> 00:00:26,800
\nAnd So what we’re going to be
\ndoing is we’re going to be <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:26,800 –> 00:00:31,080
\ntaking a look at that this week.
\nAnd what I’m passing out for you<\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:31,080 –> 00:00:35,600
\nguys is a handout for the week.
\nWhat we’re going to do is we are<\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:35,600 –> 00:00:39,840
\ngoing to kind of capture the
\nspiritual high that we all get <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:40,680 –> 00:00:43,440
\nafter a Bible school.
\nWe all leave here. <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:43,440 –> 00:00:46,000
\nWe’re we’re motivated, we’re
\npumped up about things, the <\/p>\n
15
\n00:00:46,000 –> 00:00:47,720
\ntruth.
\nAnd it’s a good time to <\/p>\n
16
\n00:00:47,720 –> 00:00:50,920
\ncapitalize on that.
\nAnd it’s a good time to set some<\/p>\n
17
\n00:00:50,920 –> 00:00:53,200
\ngoals for us.
\nSo what we’re going to do is we <\/p>\n
18
\n00:00:53,200 –> 00:00:57,120
\nare going to work together this
\nweek and see if we can get a <\/p>\n
19
\n00:00:57,120 –> 00:01:00,520
\nlittle bit closer to to a goal
\nthat we’d like to set for <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:00,520 –> 00:01:04,360
\nourselves spiritually.
\nSo what you’re going to be <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:04,360 –> 00:01:07,720
\ngetting is a little handout
\nhere. <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:08,520 –> 00:01:12,480
\nThere’s a page for each class,
\neach day that we have together. <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:13,000 –> 00:01:15,200
\nAnd in the back you’re going to
\nsee there’s actually a map. <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:15,720 –> 00:01:18,640
\nAnd what this is is totally just
\nfor fun. <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:18,640 –> 00:01:23,560
\nIf you guys would like, you can
\nkind of color in where his route<\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:23,560 –> 00:01:27,880
\nactually goes from the galley
\narea up north and he actually <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:27,880 –> 00:01:30,160
\ntravels into Jerusalem.
\nAnd if you guys would like you <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:30,160 –> 00:01:32,040
\nguys can put some pieces
\ntogether as we move through the <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:32,040 –> 00:01:35,480
\nclasses this week and really
\nkind of track where he’s going. <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:35,640 –> 00:01:39,600
\nMore importantly though, if you
\nguys would like to, we can work <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:39,600 –> 00:01:43,400
\ntogether on these day by day
\ngoals. <\/p>\n
32
\n00:01:44,320 –> 00:01:48,920
\nAnd so you can see on today’s,
\nwhen you guys get your handout, <\/p>\n
33
\n00:01:49,800 –> 00:01:52,600
\nit’s just a very easy bullet
\npoint list of a few things, a <\/p>\n
34
\n00:01:52,600 –> 00:01:56,120
\ncouple easy questions.
\nAnd then by the end of the class<\/p>\n
35
\n00:01:56,120 –> 00:02:00,680
\ntoday, by the end of our Sunday
\nschool, it would be great if you<\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:00,680 –> 00:02:03,680
\nguys could all come up with a
\nspiritual goal during this Bible<\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:03,680 –> 00:02:05,480
\nschool.
\nYou’ll see it as a last question<\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:05,480 –> 00:02:08,759
\non session one.
\nAll right, so with that being <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:08,759 –> 00:02:13,280
\nsaid, when these get passed out,
\nwe’ll jump right into it. <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:13,680 –> 00:02:16,440
\nIf you guys have any questions
\non these as we’re going through,<\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:16,440 –> 00:02:21,880
\nfeel free to come up and ask me.
\nAnd it was a complicated fold <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:21,880 –> 00:02:25,960
\nfor the print company to do this
\nweird 4 fold thing. <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:26,240 –> 00:02:27,760
\nSo it was a very last minute
\nthing. <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:27,760 –> 00:02:31,160
\nSo if you find typos, it won’t
\nshock you. <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:32,560 –> 00:02:37,240
\nYou’d think I was a teacher or
\nsomething, but so just ignore <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:37,240 –> 00:02:40,080
\ntypos or grammar mistakes or any
\nsort of mistakes at all. <\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:41,040 –> 00:02:44,040
\nAll right, so with that being
\nsaid, let’s jump into really the<\/p>\n
48
\n00:02:44,040 –> 00:02:47,600
\nimportance of why this journey
\nmatters to us. <\/p>\n
49
\n00:02:47,600 –> 00:02:52,560
\nWhy does Scriptures play such a
\nrelevant role on Christ’s <\/p>\n
50
\n00:02:52,560 –> 00:02:55,680
\njourney toward Jerusalem?
\nAll right, because it’s our <\/p>\n
51
\n00:02:55,680 –> 00:02:59,440
\njourney.
\nAs Jesus led his disciples to <\/p>\n
52
\n00:02:59,440 –> 00:03:02,120
\nthe great city, he leaves for us
\nthese crumbs, dozens of <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:02,120 –> 00:03:04,680
\nprinciples that we can pull up
\nin our own lives. <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:04,760 –> 00:03:08,120
\nWe can read from the word and we
\ncan say this will make me a, a <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:08,120 –> 00:03:10,760
\nbetter person on my journey
\ntowards Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:10,760 –> 00:03:11,760
\nWe’re all in the journey
\ntogether. <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:12,200 –> 00:03:15,080
\nHere we are, wonderfully
\ngathered at a Bible school. <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:15,760 –> 00:03:17,080
\nWe’re all on the same path,
\naren’t we? <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:17,480 –> 00:03:21,040
\nWe’re all walking the same path
\nto the same place, following the<\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:21,040 –> 00:03:23,960
\nsame person.
\nWe’re in harmony. <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:24,640 –> 00:03:27,840
\nAnd so our goal now is to find
\nout what exactly we’re doing on <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:27,840 –> 00:03:29,920
\nthat walk.
\nAll right. <\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:29,920 –> 00:03:34,320
\nDoes anybody not have a flyer or
\nhandout part of me? <\/p>\n
64
\n00:03:34,960 –> 00:03:37,480
\nWe’re good.
\nWell done, people. <\/p>\n
65
\n00:03:38,400 –> 00:03:40,360
\nVery well done.
\nThose of you who volunteered, <\/p>\n
66
\n00:03:40,560 –> 00:03:43,240
\n100%.
\nAll right, so let’s jump into <\/p>\n
67
\n00:03:43,280 –> 00:03:45,920
\nour journey together.
\nHopefully we have these things <\/p>\n
68
\n00:03:45,920 –> 00:03:48,480
\nnow.
\nAgain, they’re not mandatory to <\/p>\n
69
\n00:03:48,480 –> 00:03:50,200
\nuse.
\nIt’s not like we’re going to be <\/p>\n
70
\n00:03:50,200 –> 00:03:54,840
\ngrading you guys on your answers
\nby the end of the week, but <\/p>\n
71
\n00:03:55,640 –> 00:03:58,600
\nmaybe we can capitalize on that
\nspiritual motivation that we get<\/p>\n
72
\n00:03:58,760 –> 00:04:01,520
\nat the end of a Bible school.
\nAll right, great. <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:02,120 –> 00:04:06,360
\nSo let’s start by looking at the
\nimportance of the literal <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:06,360 –> 00:04:12,680
\ntextual structure that the text
\nof the Scriptures places on the <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:12,680 –> 00:04:14,920
\njourney of Jesus toward
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:15,280 –> 00:04:21,800
\nThe New Testament has 27 books.
\nNow of these 27 books we have <\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:21,800 –> 00:04:25,360
\nLuke is our largest book in the
\nNew Testament. <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:25,800 –> 00:04:29,520
\nNow, even though Paul wrote more
\nbooks than Luke did, Luke <\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:30,800 –> 00:04:34,080
\nactually wrote more.
\nAs far as volume goes, Luke <\/p>\n
80
\n00:04:34,080 –> 00:04:36,560
\nactually turns out wrote over
\n1\/4 of the New Testament. <\/p>\n
81
\n00:04:36,880 –> 00:04:42,000
\nLuke alone in his two volumes,
\nLuke and Acts, you know, only <\/p>\n
82
\n00:04:42,000 –> 00:04:44,480
\nMoses wrote more of the Bible
\nthan Luke did. <\/p>\n
83
\n00:04:44,480 –> 00:04:48,680
\nSo if we’re going to take these
\ntwo books and we’re going to <\/p>\n
84
\n00:04:48,680 –> 00:04:53,120
\nlook at Luke’s series for our
\nsessions this week, what we find<\/p>\n
85
\n00:04:53,120 –> 00:04:57,320
\nis in these two volumes, Luke
\ntalks about Christ’s journey <\/p>\n
86
\n00:04:57,360 –> 00:05:00,000
\ntoward Jerusalem.
\nThat’s Luke’s purpose. <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:00,160 –> 00:05:02,760
\nI have to get the story of
\nChrist’s journey towards <\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:02,760 –> 00:05:06,360
\nJerusalem, the cross.
\nAnd then in the book of Acts, he<\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:06,360 –> 00:05:09,760
\nsays, but it’s not done yet.
\nNow the message has to be <\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:09,760 –> 00:05:15,120
\npreached to the world, to Judea,
\nSamaria and the ends of the <\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:15,160 –> 00:05:18,720
\nearth, he says.
\nSo he’s going to use two volumes<\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:18,720 –> 00:05:21,240
\nto get this across to his
\nreaders. <\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:22,240 –> 00:05:25,480
\nI’m going to get Christ to
\nJerusalem and Luke, and I’m <\/p>\n
94
\n00:05:25,480 –> 00:05:27,760
\ngoing to show you how Christ is
\ngoing to get his message to the <\/p>\n
95
\n00:05:27,760 –> 00:05:30,440
\nworld in Acts.
\nWe’re going to be looking at <\/p>\n
96
\n00:05:30,440 –> 00:05:34,320
\nthis first section this week
\nTogether, Class 7. <\/p>\n
97
\n00:05:34,600 –> 00:05:38,760
\nWe’ll dip into Acts, I promise.
\nBut this first few sessions that<\/p>\n
98
\n00:05:38,760 –> 00:05:40,960
\nwe have this week, we’ll be
\ntalking about this journey <\/p>\n
99
\n00:05:41,120 –> 00:05:45,280
\ntoward Jerusalem.
\nWe’re going to see how we can <\/p>\n
100
\n00:05:45,280 –> 00:05:48,640
\nfind a pattern to follow on our
\njourney there as well. <\/p>\n
101
\n00:05:48,840 –> 00:05:52,600
\nNow, Matthew, Matthew has a
\nsteady pace through his gospel. <\/p>\n
102
\n00:05:52,600 –> 00:05:55,680
\nHe bounces back between
\nparables, miracles, teachings, <\/p>\n
103
\n00:05:55,680 –> 00:05:58,920
\nparables, miracles, teachings.
\nIt’s a very steady, even flow. <\/p>\n
104
\n00:05:58,920 –> 00:06:01,800
\nMark, we know keyword to Mark
\nimmediately. <\/p>\n
105
\n00:06:02,160 –> 00:06:04,840
\nMark moves him.
\nMark says there’s a mission to <\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:04,840 –> 00:06:06,640
\nbe accomplished.
\nWe’re going to get that done. <\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:07,120 –> 00:06:12,960
\nLuke slows the journey down.
\nIn Luke’s gospel, he places an <\/p>\n
108
\n00:06:12,960 –> 00:06:15,920
\nemphasis on this idea of getting
\nhim there. <\/p>\n
109
\n00:06:16,440 –> 00:06:19,680
\nIt takes 10 chapters for Christ
\nto get to Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
110
\n00:06:22,000 –> 00:06:27,120
\nThe phrase, and it came to pass
\nis Luke’s key phrase Matthew. <\/p>\n
111
\n00:06:27,120 –> 00:06:33,120
\nIt comes up six times, Mark,
\nfour times, John 0, Luke 40. <\/p>\n
112
\n00:06:34,800 –> 00:06:39,480
\nIt’s about getting him there.
\nIt’s a journey and it he slugs <\/p>\n
113
\n00:06:39,480 –> 00:06:41,680
\nit in, but he gets there
\neventually. <\/p>\n
114
\n00:06:41,920 –> 00:06:44,440
\nLuke wants his readers to focus
\non the journey because this <\/p>\n
115
\n00:06:44,440 –> 00:06:46,680
\njourney, after all, brothers and
\nsisters, it’s the centerpiece of<\/p>\n
116
\n00:06:46,680 –> 00:06:49,680
\ntime, isn’t it?
\nEverything that happened before <\/p>\n
117
\n00:06:50,600 –> 00:06:54,120
\nwas meant to get Jesus there.
\nEverything that happens after is<\/p>\n
118
\n00:06:54,120 –> 00:06:59,720
\nbecause he got there.
\nAnd so Christ gets to Jerusalem <\/p>\n
119
\n00:07:00,280 –> 00:07:03,160
\nand what we’re going to refer to
\nit as, and what a lot of experts<\/p>\n
120
\n00:07:03,160 –> 00:07:07,240
\nrefer to it as is the journey
\nnarrative, the journey toward <\/p>\n
121
\n00:07:07,240 –> 00:07:12,400
\nJerusalem.
\nWhat you’re going to see is it <\/p>\n
122
\n00:07:12,560 –> 00:07:17,040
\nit occurs in 10 and 11 chapters.
\nAnd hint a couple answers on <\/p>\n
123
\n00:07:17,040 –> 00:07:19,000
\nthis sheet here for your
\nhandout. <\/p>\n
124
\n00:07:19,480 –> 00:07:21,640
\nThe journey narrative starts in
\nLuke 951. <\/p>\n
125
\n00:07:21,880 –> 00:07:27,400
\nMemorize that reference.
\nLuke 951, Luke 951, Luke 951. <\/p>\n
126
\n00:07:27,400 –> 00:07:29,040
\nWe’re going to bring it over and
\nover and over again. <\/p>\n
127
\n00:07:29,040 –> 00:07:31,160
\nThis is going to be our home
\nbase. <\/p>\n
128
\n00:07:31,520 –> 00:07:34,480
\nLuke 9:51.
\nThat’s when the mindset of <\/p>\n
129
\n00:07:34,480 –> 00:07:37,360
\nChrist changes and he says he
\nsets his face to go to <\/p>\n
130
\n00:07:37,360 –> 00:07:41,400
\nJerusalem.
\nThat’s the key and he’s going to<\/p>\n
131
\n00:07:41,400 –> 00:07:46,480
\nwrap it up somewhere in Luke 19.
\nIt’s ironic because as as far as<\/p>\n
132
\n00:07:46,480 –> 00:07:48,440
\nhe’s going, he’s travelling to
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
133
\n00:07:48,560 –> 00:07:52,680
\nIt never really says and he’s
\nstepped foot in Jerusalem just <\/p>\n
134
\n00:07:52,680 –> 00:07:55,960
\nas he walks into the temple.
\nThere’s no mighty entrance. <\/p>\n
135
\n00:07:56,160 –> 00:08:03,040
\nHe rides in on on a donkey.
\nIn Luke’s gospel and in this <\/p>\n
136
\n00:08:03,040 –> 00:08:06,200
\njourney narrative, 25% of what
\nyou’re going to read is unique <\/p>\n
137
\n00:08:06,200 –> 00:08:12,320
\nto Luke.
\nIt’s Luke’s story and in that <\/p>\n
138
\n00:08:12,320 –> 00:08:16,680
\n25%, there are actually 82
\ndistinct, what we call story <\/p>\n
139
\n00:08:16,680 –> 00:08:18,480
\nunits.
\nJust a little little could be <\/p>\n
140
\n00:08:18,480 –> 00:08:20,440
\n1\/2 a verse, it could be
\nmultiple verses. <\/p>\n
141
\n00:08:21,800 –> 00:08:24,680
\nThere’s 82 unique things, little
\nthings that you’re going to read<\/p>\n
142
\n00:08:24,680 –> 00:08:26,960
\nin Luke’s gospel in this journey
\nnarrative. <\/p>\n
143
\n00:08:27,440 –> 00:08:30,920
\nSo if I was going to put Luke up
\nthere for you, this is the <\/p>\n
144
\n00:08:30,920 –> 00:08:35,720
\nGospel according to Luke
\nchapters one and two. <\/p>\n
145
\n00:08:36,600 –> 00:08:40,280
\nWe have the birth of Jesus
\nChrist chapters 3 to 9. <\/p>\n
146
\n00:08:40,760 –> 00:08:43,080
\nWe have his ministry around
\nGalilee. <\/p>\n
147
\n00:08:43,440 –> 00:08:47,800
\nNow this is when he is starting
\nhis ministry, He is starting his<\/p>\n
148
\n00:08:47,800 –> 00:08:51,560
\nwork and he’s teaching everybody
\naround his hometown area. <\/p>\n
149
\n00:08:51,800 –> 00:08:56,960
\nChapters 9 through 19 is really
\nwhen this journey begins and <\/p>\n
150
\n00:08:56,960 –> 00:09:01,040
\nhe’s travelling to Jerusalem.
\nThe the book ends up with four <\/p>\n
151
\n00:09:01,040 –> 00:09:03,920
\nchapters, 20 to 24, talking
\nabout his death and <\/p>\n
152
\n00:09:03,920 –> 00:09:08,480
\nresurrection.
\nNow I’m going to show you guys <\/p>\n
153
\n00:09:08,480 –> 00:09:12,520
\nthat Jerusalem is such a
\nimportant part of Luke’s gospel <\/p>\n
154
\n00:09:13,160 –> 00:09:16,240
\nbecause looking at some of the
\nunique things outside of this <\/p>\n
155
\n00:09:16,400 –> 00:09:20,440
\nblock of 11 to 10 chapters, in
\nthe middle we have some unique <\/p>\n
156
\n00:09:20,440 –> 00:09:24,000
\nstories to Luke.
\nUnique to Luke is the fact that <\/p>\n
157
\n00:09:24,000 –> 00:09:27,680
\nhe was an infant at the temple.
\nGuess where the temple is? <\/p>\n
158
\n00:09:28,160 –> 00:09:32,560
\nIt’s in Jerusalem.
\nHe was a 12 year old boy unique <\/p>\n
159
\n00:09:32,560 –> 00:09:35,400
\nto Luke at the temple.
\nGuess where the temple is? <\/p>\n
160
\n00:09:35,720 –> 00:09:40,160
\nIt’s Jerusalem and at the end
\nafter there’s not a lot of <\/p>\n
161
\n00:09:40,160 –> 00:09:42,120
\nJerusalem talk around his
\nministry in Galilee. <\/p>\n
162
\n00:09:42,560 –> 00:09:48,760
\nShockingly, at the end 2024, he
\nunique to Luke weeps over <\/p>\n
163
\n00:09:48,880 –> 00:09:53,840
\nJerusalem, his trial before
\nHerod, who was specifically it <\/p>\n
164
\n00:09:53,840 –> 00:09:59,680
\nsays in Luke’s gospel visiting
\nJerusalem, the repentant thief <\/p>\n
165
\n00:09:59,680 –> 00:10:03,880
\non the cross Jerusalem.
\nJesus appears to the two <\/p>\n
166
\n00:10:03,880 –> 00:10:06,960
\ndisciples in the way to Emmaus
\nwho are leaving Jerusalem and <\/p>\n
167
\n00:10:06,960 –> 00:10:10,920
\nreturn to Jerusalem.
\nJesus appears to the disciples <\/p>\n
168
\n00:10:10,920 –> 00:10:14,160
\nafter his resurrection and he
\nsays remain in Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
169
\n00:10:15,400 –> 00:10:18,000
\nAnd finally the details of the
\nascension to heaven. <\/p>\n
170
\n00:10:18,840 –> 00:10:20,760
\nThese are unique things to
\nLuke’s gospel. <\/p>\n
171
\n00:10:20,960 –> 00:10:25,120
\nWe’ll see many of these.
\nYou see the importance that Luke<\/p>\n
172
\n00:10:25,120 –> 00:10:31,320
\nplaces on the city of Jerusalem.
\nWe have to get Christ to <\/p>\n
173
\n00:10:31,320 –> 00:10:35,240
\nJerusalem.
\nHistory centers around this <\/p>\n
174
\n00:10:35,240 –> 00:10:45,380
\nevent in Luke’s Gospel, in the
\njourney narrative. <\/p>\n
175
\n00:10:45,380 –> 00:10:49,700
\nWe’re going to take a look now,
\nas is Jerusalem in the four <\/p>\n
176
\n00:10:49,700 –> 00:10:53,260
\ngospels, Matthew, the word
\noccurs 13 times, Mark 11, John <\/p>\n
177
\n00:10:53,260 –> 00:10:55,540
\n13.
\nAnd in Luke, the word Jerusalem <\/p>\n
178
\n00:10:55,540 –> 00:10:58,860
\noccurs 33 times.
\nYou guys see how this, this is <\/p>\n
179
\n00:10:58,860 –> 00:11:02,740
\nthe point.
\nLuke says we’re going to get him<\/p>\n
180
\n00:11:02,740 –> 00:11:07,560
\nthere.
\nIt is going to be a grind, but <\/p>\n
181
\n00:11:07,560 –> 00:11:11,680
\nwe’ll get them to Jerusalem.
\nSo let’s take a look at the net,<\/p>\n
182
\n00:11:11,680 –> 00:11:14,480
\nhow the journey narrative
\ncompares to the other gospels. <\/p>\n
183
\n00:11:15,320 –> 00:11:21,760
\nWe’ve seen already the block of
\n425 verses in Luke’s Gospel. <\/p>\n
184
\n00:11:22,280 –> 00:11:23,640
\nHow do the other gospels
\ncompare? <\/p>\n
185
\n00:11:23,640 –> 00:11:27,360
\nWell, Matthew has 65 verses that
\nit dedicates towards Christ <\/p>\n
186
\n00:11:27,360 –> 00:11:30,840
\ngetting to Jerusalem.
\nMark 52 verses it dedicates to <\/p>\n
187
\n00:11:30,840 –> 00:11:34,280
\ngetting Christ to Jerusalem.
\nJohn 122. <\/p>\n
188
\n00:11:34,280 –> 00:11:38,080
\nIt actually has 2 little blips
\nthat it talks about Christ <\/p>\n
189
\n00:11:38,080 –> 00:11:40,880
\ngetting to Jerusalem.
\nYou can see there just the <\/p>\n
190
\n00:11:41,040 –> 00:11:45,280
\npercentage of each book that it
\nfocuses on getting Christ to <\/p>\n
191
\n00:11:45,280 –> 00:11:51,040
\nJerusalem.
\nSo Needless to say, Luke places <\/p>\n
192
\n00:11:51,040 –> 00:11:56,680
\na massive priority in his gospel
\non the journey towards <\/p>\n
193
\n00:11:56,840 –> 00:11:59,880
\nJerusalem.
\nSo brothers and sisters, Are you<\/p>\n
194
\n00:11:59,880 –> 00:12:02,400
\nready to start?
\nAre you ready to follow Christ <\/p>\n
195
\n00:12:02,400 –> 00:12:04,880
\non the journey?
\nLet’s get started, shall we? <\/p>\n
196
\n00:12:06,120 –> 00:12:09,880
\nKey verse was what Brave
\nVolunteer shouted out. <\/p>\n
197
\n00:12:11,200 –> 00:12:14,880
\nExcellent.
\nLuke 951, That is the key verse.<\/p>\n
198
\n00:12:14,880 –> 00:12:17,560
\nTurn there if you’re not already
\nthere in your Bibles, please. <\/p>\n
199
\n00:12:17,720 –> 00:12:22,520
\nLuke Chapter 9 and at verse 51.
\nI’m going to have up on the <\/p>\n
200
\n00:12:22,520 –> 00:12:26,240
\nscreen about a billion times
\nthis week, but it’s good to kind<\/p>\n
201
\n00:12:26,240 –> 00:12:28,480
\nof keep it in mind.
\nWe’re going to focus a lot in <\/p>\n
202
\n00:12:28,480 –> 00:12:31,760
\nLuke 9 for the first couple days
\nas we kind of really start to <\/p>\n
203
\n00:12:31,760 –> 00:12:33,840
\nlay the foundation of this
\njourney. <\/p>\n
204
\n00:12:35,160 –> 00:12:40,040
\nBut it says Luke 951 and when
\nthe time was come, he should be <\/p>\n
205
\n00:12:40,040 –> 00:12:47,920
\nreceived up.
\nHe steadfastly set his face to <\/p>\n
206
\n00:12:47,920 –> 00:12:52,920
\ngo to Jerusalem.
\nThat’s your theme verse for the <\/p>\n
207
\n00:12:52,920 –> 00:12:54,880
\nweek for Toward Jerusalem
\nseries. <\/p>\n
208
\n00:12:57,280 –> 00:13:00,560
\nIt’s the start of the journey.
\nIt’s a change and shift in <\/p>\n
209
\n00:13:00,560 –> 00:13:04,600
\nmindset for Christ.
\nHe’s going to continue on his <\/p>\n
210
\n00:13:04,600 –> 00:13:08,000
\njourney as he tries to prepare
\nhis disciples, but now it’s <\/p>\n
211
\n00:13:08,000 –> 00:13:11,600
\nabout getting to the city.
\nThere was a lot to be <\/p>\n
212
\n00:13:11,600 –> 00:13:15,880
\naccomplished at the city of
\nJerusalem, a lot of pain, shame,<\/p>\n
213
\n00:13:17,000 –> 00:13:21,840
\nbut ultimately, but ultimately
\nto manifest his Heavenly Father.<\/p>\n
214
\n00:13:22,800 –> 00:13:25,280
\nNow we have to ask ourselves one
\nbig question. <\/p>\n
215
\n00:13:26,560 –> 00:13:30,440
\nWhy Jerusalem?
\nWhy Jerusalem? <\/p>\n
216
\n00:13:31,760 –> 00:13:34,280
\nThere were certainly cities more
\nrighteous at that time than <\/p>\n
217
\n00:13:34,280 –> 00:13:37,000
\nJerusalem.
\nJerusalem was full of corrupt. <\/p>\n
218
\n00:13:38,320 –> 00:13:39,920
\nIts religious leaders were a
\njoke. <\/p>\n
219
\n00:13:40,720 –> 00:13:44,840
\nWhy Jerusalem?
\nWell, he says to us in Luke <\/p>\n
220
\n00:13:44,840 –> 00:13:46,280
\nchapter 13, you don’t need to
\nturn it up. <\/p>\n
221
\n00:13:47,400 –> 00:13:52,000
\nBut he, he tells us in Luke 13,
\nhe says on the third day, on the<\/p>\n
222
\n00:13:52,000 –> 00:13:58,440
\nthird day, I shall be perfected.
\nNevertheless, he says, I must <\/p>\n
223
\n00:13:58,440 –> 00:14:03,240
\nwalk.
\nI must walk today, I must walk <\/p>\n
224
\n00:14:03,240 –> 00:14:07,840
\ntomorrow, and I must walk the
\nday following, because it cannot<\/p>\n
225
\n00:14:07,840 –> 00:14:12,640
\nbe that a prophet perish out of
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
226
\n00:14:13,840 –> 00:14:15,640
\nThat’s why we’re walking, he
\nsays. <\/p>\n
227
\n00:14:16,280 –> 00:14:22,680
\nThat’s why we’re going now.
\nIt’s an interesting little word <\/p>\n
228
\n00:14:22,680 –> 00:14:23,880
\nhe uses.
\nA prophet. <\/p>\n
229
\n00:14:24,640 –> 00:14:28,320
\nWhy a prophet?
\nWhy not use a prophecies that <\/p>\n
230
\n00:14:28,320 –> 00:14:31,920
\nsays the prophet must perish in
\nJerusalem? <\/p>\n
231
\n00:14:33,200 –> 00:14:34,800
\nHe says a prophet perish in
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
232
\n00:14:34,800 –> 00:14:36,600
\nWhat he’s doing is he’s quoting
\na verse for us. <\/p>\n
233
\n00:14:37,240 –> 00:14:40,440
\nHe’s quoting for from
\nDeuteronomy chapter 18. <\/p>\n
234
\n00:14:40,440 –> 00:14:42,360
\nIf you’d like you could turn up,
\nbut I will read it for you. <\/p>\n
235
\n00:14:42,880 –> 00:14:44,840
\nDeuteronomy chapter 18.
\nIt might be worth just <\/p>\n
236
\n00:14:44,840 –> 00:14:49,320
\nscribbling this down.
\nDeuteromy 18 verses 15 through <\/p>\n
237
\n00:14:49,320 –> 00:14:52,600
\n19.
\nIt says, Yahweh, thy God will <\/p>\n
238
\n00:14:52,600 –> 00:14:59,240
\nraise up unto thee a prophet, a
\nprophet from the midst of thee, <\/p>\n
239
\n00:14:59,240 –> 00:15:03,280
\nof thy brethren like unto me,
\nunto him you shall hearken <\/p>\n
240
\n00:15:04,360 –> 00:15:07,160
\naccording to all, thou desirous
\nof Yahweh thy God in Horeb in <\/p>\n
241
\n00:15:07,160 –> 00:15:10,600
\nthe day of the assembly, saying,
\nLet me not hear again the voice <\/p>\n
242
\n00:15:10,600 –> 00:15:14,920
\nof Yahweh my God, neither let me
\nsee this great fire anymore, <\/p>\n
243
\n00:15:14,960 –> 00:15:17,640
\nthat I die not.
\nAnd Yahweh said unto me, They <\/p>\n
244
\n00:15:17,640 –> 00:15:19,720
\nhave well spoken.
\nThat which they have spoken, I <\/p>\n
245
\n00:15:19,720 –> 00:15:28,320
\nwill raise them up a prophet
\nfrom among their brethren like <\/p>\n
246
\n00:15:28,320 –> 00:15:33,160
\nunto thee, and will put my words
\nin his mouth, and he shall speak<\/p>\n
247
\n00:15:33,160 –> 00:15:36,240
\nunto them all that I shall
\ncommand him, and shall come to <\/p>\n
248
\n00:15:36,240 –> 00:15:38,440
\npass it.
\nWhosoever will not hearken unto <\/p>\n
249
\n00:15:38,440 –> 00:15:41,680
\nmy words, which he shall speak
\nin my name, I will require it of<\/p>\n
250
\n00:15:41,680 –> 00:15:43,840
\nhim.
\nSo what Deuteronomy is telling <\/p>\n
251
\n00:15:43,840 –> 00:15:48,760
\nus is God says he’s going to
\nraise up a new prophet from <\/p>\n
252
\n00:15:48,760 –> 00:15:52,040
\namong the people.
\nI’m going to put my words in his<\/p>\n
253
\n00:15:52,040 –> 00:15:55,200
\nmouth and you’re going to listen
\nto everything he says. <\/p>\n
254
\n00:15:56,880 –> 00:15:59,240
\nSo what’s Christ doing here in
\nLuke 13? <\/p>\n
255
\n00:16:03,480 –> 00:16:07,040
\nThat’s me.
\nA prophet can’t perish out of <\/p>\n
256
\n00:16:07,040 –> 00:16:08,640
\nJerusalem.
\nI’m that new prophet. <\/p>\n
257
\n00:16:10,040 –> 00:16:12,320
\nHe’s putting himself in the
\nplace of this new prophet. <\/p>\n
258
\n00:16:12,480 –> 00:16:15,520
\nHe’s pulling a prophecy of Moses
\nand he’s saying that he was the <\/p>\n
259
\n00:16:15,520 –> 00:16:18,920
\ngreater than Moses.
\nGod has put his words in my <\/p>\n
260
\n00:16:18,920 –> 00:16:20,880
\nmouth.
\nHe’s saying listen to me, <\/p>\n
261
\n00:16:20,920 –> 00:16:24,200
\nhearken to me.
\nThat’s the key. <\/p>\n
262
\n00:16:25,440 –> 00:16:29,720
\nSo he has to get to Jerusalem.
\nThis new prophet is going to die<\/p>\n
263
\n00:16:29,720 –> 00:16:31,720
\nin Jerusalem.
\nHe knew that. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:16:32,320 –> 00:16:33,800
\nCountless prophecies talk about
\nthis. <\/p>\n
265
\n00:16:33,800 –> 00:16:39,280
\nWell, back in Luke Chapter 9, if
\nyou’re not there already, Christ<\/p>\n
266
\n00:16:39,280 –> 00:16:43,320
\ngoes through an amazing
\nencouragement in Luke Chapter 9.<\/p>\n
267
\n00:16:44,120 –> 00:16:49,080
\nHe talks to a couple people, and
\na couple people tell him in <\/p>\n
268
\n00:16:49,080 –> 00:16:51,720
\nverses 30 and 31, behold,
\nthey’re talked with him, two <\/p>\n
269
\n00:16:51,720 –> 00:16:53,120
\nmen.
\nWe know the story very well, <\/p>\n
270
\n00:16:53,960 –> 00:17:03,200
\nMoses and Elias, who appeared in
\nglory, and they spake of his <\/p>\n
271
\n00:17:03,360 –> 00:17:09,440
\ndecease, which he should
\naccomplish where? <\/p>\n
272
\n00:17:11,240 –> 00:17:16,880
\nAt Jerusalem, this new prophet
\nwould die in Jerusalem and right<\/p>\n
273
\n00:17:16,880 –> 00:17:19,680
\nbefore he leaves for Jerusalem,
\nremember that’s verse 51 of this<\/p>\n
274
\n00:17:19,680 –> 00:17:21,880
\nchapter.
\nRight before he leaves, he <\/p>\n
275
\n00:17:21,880 –> 00:17:24,560
\nspeaks to the masters of
\nexoduses. <\/p>\n
276
\n00:17:26,359 –> 00:17:30,600
\nHe speaks to Moses and Elijah.
\nWell, he speaks of his decease <\/p>\n
277
\n00:17:31,440 –> 00:17:32,920
\nin the Greek.
\nIt’s the word exodus. <\/p>\n
278
\n00:17:33,240 –> 00:17:34,520
\nMany of us probably have that
\nmarked. <\/p>\n
279
\n00:17:35,640 –> 00:17:38,240
\nHe spoke of the exodus which he
\nshould accomplish at Jerusalem, <\/p>\n
280
\n00:17:38,720 –> 00:17:46,760
\nnone other than Moses and Elias.
\nAnd they said it’s got to be <\/p>\n
281
\n00:17:46,760 –> 00:17:51,240
\ndone in Jerusalem.
\nAnd he steadfastly set his face <\/p>\n
282
\n00:17:51,240 –> 00:17:55,360
\nto go to Jerusalem, knowing full
\nwell would have waited in there.<\/p>\n
283
\n00:17:57,760 –> 00:17:59,040
\nHe’s going to perish at
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
284
\n00:17:59,040 –> 00:18:02,480
\nBut brothers and sisters, this
\nwas his exodus. <\/p>\n
285
\n00:18:03,960 –> 00:18:09,400
\nHe needed to be taken up when
\nthe time had come for him to <\/p>\n
286
\n00:18:09,440 –> 00:18:11,720
\nascend, He said fast.
\nHe set his face to go to <\/p>\n
287
\n00:18:11,720 –> 00:18:14,080
\nJerusalem.
\nSomething else awaited him there<\/p>\n
288
\n00:18:14,080 –> 00:18:17,360
\nin Jerusalem.
\nAnd he said fast. <\/p>\n
289
\n00:18:17,360 –> 00:18:19,960
\nHe set his face to go there
\nbecause Christ, brothers and <\/p>\n
290
\n00:18:19,960 –> 00:18:21,440
\nsisters, was also going to lead
\nan exodus. <\/p>\n
291
\n00:18:21,440 –> 00:18:23,760
\nWe, we, we were familiar with
\nthis. <\/p>\n
292
\n00:18:25,360 –> 00:18:29,840
\nEphesians 4, quoting Psalm 68,
\nsays you’ve ascended on high. <\/p>\n
293
\n00:18:31,000 –> 00:18:38,360
\nYou’ve LED captivity captive.
\nNotice the call outs to Elijah <\/p>\n
294
\n00:18:38,360 –> 00:18:44,720
\nand Moses Chariots, Sinai.
\nThe Chariots of God are 20,000. <\/p>\n
295
\n00:18:44,880 –> 00:18:46,760
\nEven thousands of angels.
\nThe Lord is among them. <\/p>\n
296
\n00:18:46,760 –> 00:18:49,120
\nAs in Sinai, in the holy place,
\nyou’ve ascended on high. <\/p>\n
297
\n00:18:49,120 –> 00:18:53,040
\nYou’ve LED captivity captive.
\nThis next exodus was leading <\/p>\n
298
\n00:18:53,040 –> 00:18:56,880
\ncaptivity captive.
\nSo we, we find ourselves <\/p>\n
299
\n00:18:56,880 –> 00:18:59,640
\nconstantly serving sin, don’t
\nwe, brothers and sisters? <\/p>\n
300
\n00:18:59,880 –> 00:19:02,840
\nIt’s the curse we bear.
\nIt’s horrible, it’s terrible. <\/p>\n
301
\n00:19:02,840 –> 00:19:06,400
\nWe hate it, but we feel
\ncaptivated by it. <\/p>\n
302
\n00:19:08,760 –> 00:19:12,720
\nBut we don’t need to be.
\nChrist made it to Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
303
\n00:19:13,920 –> 00:19:18,960
\nHe led captivity captive because
\nhe sent it on high. <\/p>\n
304
\n00:19:19,520 –> 00:19:21,360
\nSo Christ journeyed toward
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
305
\n00:19:21,360 –> 00:19:24,080
\nHe knew death awaited him.
\nHe knew shame awaited him. <\/p>\n
306
\n00:19:24,200 –> 00:19:26,200
\nHe knew torture and pain awaited
\nhim. <\/p>\n
307
\n00:19:26,600 –> 00:19:30,800
\nHe knew betrayal awaited him.
\nBut he knew, more importantly, <\/p>\n
308
\n00:19:32,000 –> 00:19:33,840
\nthat getting to his father also
\nwaited him. <\/p>\n
309
\n00:19:33,840 –> 00:19:35,840
\nBut the Stevens spoke this last
\nnight briefly. <\/p>\n
310
\n00:19:36,080 –> 00:19:38,320
\nImagine that being your
\nmotivation. <\/p>\n
311
\n00:19:39,440 –> 00:19:43,880
\nHe knew his father was He prayed
\nto him, he read from his word, <\/p>\n
312
\n00:19:44,320 –> 00:19:46,760
\nhe talked to him.
\nBut he never sat next to him. <\/p>\n
313
\n00:19:48,360 –> 00:19:50,400
\nHe never got to sit next to his
\nfather. <\/p>\n
314
\n00:19:52,560 –> 00:19:54,680
\nImagine that being your
\nmotivation to get to Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
315
\n00:19:56,360 –> 00:19:57,600
\nThat would get you there,
\nwouldn’t it? <\/p>\n
316
\n00:19:57,880 –> 00:20:00,480
\nSit next to your Father, the God
\nof the world. <\/p>\n
317
\n00:20:03,600 –> 00:20:06,280
\nAnd it gave him a steadfast
\nvision to get there. <\/p>\n
318
\n00:20:08,000 –> 00:20:12,040
\nThis was his motivation to begin
\nworking on a new city. <\/p>\n
319
\n00:20:12,240 –> 00:20:15,720
\nSo Christ, a new prophet, says
\nDeuteronomy 18. <\/p>\n
320
\n00:20:16,120 –> 00:20:18,720
\nThis was this message of the
\nministry in Galilee. <\/p>\n
321
\n00:20:18,720 –> 00:20:21,360
\nThis is what he preached through
\nLuke 9, through Luke 8. <\/p>\n
322
\n00:20:21,520 –> 00:20:23,240
\nI’m a new prophet.
\nListen to me. <\/p>\n
323
\n00:20:25,080 –> 00:20:27,480
\nThat was the ministry.
\nAnd he’s going to carry that <\/p>\n
324
\n00:20:27,480 –> 00:20:30,080
\nsame example and that same
\nmessage to Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
325
\n00:20:30,400 –> 00:20:32,520
\nThis new prophet was going to
\ncreate a new city. <\/p>\n
326
\n00:20:33,000 –> 00:20:35,720
\nThis is Isaiah and we’ll look at
\nthis and throughout the week, a <\/p>\n
327
\n00:20:35,720 –> 00:20:39,040
\nnew city from a new prophet.
\nSo ultimately, says 2nd <\/p>\n
328
\n00:20:39,040 –> 00:20:41,280
\nCorinthians 5, he could create a
\nnew creation. <\/p>\n
329
\n00:20:41,280 –> 00:20:45,560
\nTherefore, if anyone is in
\nChrist, he is a new creation. <\/p>\n
330
\n00:20:45,840 –> 00:20:49,600
\nThe olds passed away, but the
\nnew has come. <\/p>\n
331
\n00:20:50,960 –> 00:20:52,880
\nSo he’s going to bring about all
\nthings new. <\/p>\n
332
\n00:20:54,320 –> 00:20:56,040
\nThis was Christ’s goal.
\nThis was his journey to <\/p>\n
333
\n00:20:56,040 –> 00:20:58,840
\nJerusalem to create a new city
\nfor the new creation. <\/p>\n
334
\n00:20:59,120 –> 00:21:03,040
\nBut brothers and sisters, it’s
\nalso where we’re headed. <\/p>\n
335
\n00:21:04,920 –> 00:21:07,360
\nSo we can take this path in Luke
\n9 to 19. <\/p>\n
336
\n00:21:07,360 –> 00:21:10,680
\nWe can say, yes, I can learn
\nfrom this. <\/p>\n
337
\n00:21:10,840 –> 00:21:15,080
\nI can pull things out of this
\nbecause it’s our goal as well. <\/p>\n
338
\n00:21:16,240 –> 00:21:20,360
\nIt’s a new city.
\nGalatians 4 verses 24 to 27. <\/p>\n
339
\n00:21:20,440 –> 00:21:21,520
\nAgain, you don’t need to turn it
\nup. <\/p>\n
340
\n00:21:22,080 –> 00:21:23,560
\nI’ll have a little bit on the
\nscreen here. <\/p>\n
341
\n00:21:24,400 –> 00:21:27,560
\nIt brings up this phrase, but
\nthe Jerusalem which is from <\/p>\n
342
\n00:21:27,560 –> 00:21:38,760
\nabove is free, says the ESV.
\nSee the word the not in the King<\/p>\n
343
\n00:21:38,760 –> 00:21:40,920
\nJames is very much in the
\noriginal. <\/p>\n
344
\n00:21:42,000 –> 00:21:46,400
\nIt’s a different Jerusalem.
\nThe Jerusalem above is free. <\/p>\n
345
\n00:21:48,760 –> 00:21:56,440
\nThis is a new Jerusalem when he
\nascended, says Ephesians and <\/p>\n
346
\n00:21:56,440 –> 00:21:59,640
\nPsalms.
\nWhen he ascended, he freed the <\/p>\n
347
\n00:21:59,640 –> 00:22:05,280
\ncaptive.
\nNew Jerusalem, which is from <\/p>\n
348
\n00:22:05,280 –> 00:22:14,040
\nabove, is the city of the free,
\nbut it’s a different Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
349
\n00:22:15,360 –> 00:22:19,400
\nIf you looked at New Jerusalem
\nand you looked at old natural <\/p>\n
350
\n00:22:19,400 –> 00:22:23,800
\nJerusalem, you’d see no
\nsimilarities. <\/p>\n
351
\n00:22:26,400 –> 00:22:31,080
\nThey’re two cities.
\nWhen he set it up on high, he <\/p>\n
352
\n00:22:31,080 –> 00:22:34,360
\nled captivity captive.
\nThat was Ephesians 4. <\/p>\n
353
\n00:22:35,240 –> 00:22:37,000
\nUp on high, the city is from
\nabove. <\/p>\n
354
\n00:22:37,400 –> 00:22:40,000
\nHe led captivity captive.
\nHe freed. <\/p>\n
355
\n00:22:40,960 –> 00:22:43,200
\nWe’re talking about the same
\ncity, the same thing, brothers <\/p>\n
356
\n00:22:43,200 –> 00:22:45,520
\nand sisters, but it’s a new
\ncity. <\/p>\n
357
\n00:22:45,760 –> 00:22:50,040
\nNow the New Jerusalem phrase
\noccurs in Revelation, and you’ll<\/p>\n
358
\n00:22:50,040 –> 00:22:54,960
\nnever guess the language.
\nAnd I saw the holy city, New <\/p>\n
359
\n00:22:55,040 –> 00:23:02,520
\nJerusalem, coming down down out
\nof heaven from God, prepared as <\/p>\n
360
\n00:23:02,520 –> 00:23:06,200
\na bride adorned for her husband.
\nNew Jerusalem began in heaven. <\/p>\n
361
\n00:23:06,200 –> 00:23:08,280
\nIt was built in heaven, it was
\nprepared in heaven. <\/p>\n
362
\n00:23:08,440 –> 00:23:13,400
\nAnd God will send it down
\nbecause it’s a free, it’s built <\/p>\n
363
\n00:23:13,400 –> 00:23:16,440
\nfrom above.
\nChrist went up there to build a <\/p>\n
364
\n00:23:16,440 –> 00:23:22,200
\ncity, to create a new Jerusalem.
\nHe marched to the Old so we <\/p>\n
365
\n00:23:22,200 –> 00:23:28,320
\ncould build the new further on
\nin Revelation 21 and he showed <\/p>\n
366
\n00:23:28,320 –> 00:23:35,040
\nme that great city, holy
\nJerusalem, Holy Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
367
\n00:23:36,920 –> 00:23:41,120
\nYou won’t find holy describing
\nJerusalem very often. <\/p>\n
368
\n00:23:42,040 –> 00:23:45,320
\nThis is the new one.
\nIt’s descending out of heaven <\/p>\n
369
\n00:23:45,960 –> 00:23:49,160
\nfrom God.
\nThe city has no need of the sun,<\/p>\n
370
\n00:23:49,920 –> 00:23:53,480
\nneither of the moon to shine in
\nit, for the glory of God did <\/p>\n
371
\n00:23:53,480 –> 00:23:56,040
\nlighten it.
\nThe Lamb is the light thereof. <\/p>\n
372
\n00:23:57,800 –> 00:24:01,240
\nBrothers and sisters, it’s an
\nimportant exercise, but do you <\/p>\n
373
\n00:24:01,240 –> 00:24:03,920
\nvisualize what the Kingdom will
\nlook like? <\/p>\n
374
\n00:24:05,160 –> 00:24:10,400
\nDo you put yourself there?
\nDo you imagine what it would be <\/p>\n
375
\n00:24:10,400 –> 00:24:13,640
\nlike to be in a city where the
\nLamb is the light thereof? <\/p>\n
376
\n00:24:15,960 –> 00:24:20,680
\nThose are eyes of faith.
\nBut the holy Jerusalem came down<\/p>\n
377
\n00:24:20,760 –> 00:24:26,920
\nfrom God.

\na new and invited us.
\nHe says, do you want to be part <\/p>\n
403
\n00:26:18,560 –> 00:26:19,800
\nof a new Jerusalem, a greater
\ncity? <\/p>\n
404
\n00:26:22,520 –> 00:26:25,920
\nDo you want to get there?
\nDo you want to follow my <\/p>\n
405
\n00:26:25,920 –> 00:26:27,600
\nfootsteps to make it to
\nJerusalem? <\/p>\n
406
\n00:26:29,680 –> 00:26:33,600
\nI’ll leave you some clues and
\nhe’s going to leave us wonderful<\/p>\n
407
\n00:26:33,600 –> 00:26:36,600
\nclues in this block between 9
\nand 19 of Luke. <\/p>\n
408
\n00:26:38,000 –> 00:26:42,920
\nSo new Jerusalem is people.
\nHow do you get there? <\/p>\n
409
\n00:26:45,320 –> 00:26:50,120
\nHow do you become part of this
\noutstanding city? <\/p>\n
410
\n00:26:51,520 –> 00:26:55,920
\nJohn 3.
\nVerily, verily, I say unto thee,<\/p>\n
411
\n00:26:55,920 –> 00:27:00,600
\nExcept a man be born again, he
\ncannot see the Kingdom of God, <\/p>\n
412
\n00:27:00,880 –> 00:27:06,920
\nJesus tells Nicodemus.
\nAnd the word again means from <\/p>\n
413
\n00:27:06,920 –> 00:27:13,320
\nabove.
\nYou see the same language Your <\/p>\n
414
\n00:27:13,320 –> 00:27:16,000
\nBible’s margin probably says
\nfrom above. <\/p>\n
415
\n00:27:16,000 –> 00:27:19,600
\nIn there many translations
\ntranslated as from above. <\/p>\n
416
\n00:27:21,360 –> 00:27:24,080
\nChrist explains to Nicodemus, a
\nPharisee, that in order to be <\/p>\n
417
\n00:27:24,080 –> 00:27:27,600
\npart of the Kingdom that he
\nspeaks of, a person needs to be <\/p>\n
418
\n00:27:27,600 –> 00:27:32,400
\nborn from above, which makes
\ntotal sense. <\/p>\n
419
\n00:27:33,640 –> 00:27:37,520
\nTo be part of a city which is
\nfrom above, we must be born from<\/p>\n
420
\n00:27:37,520 –> 00:27:41,000
\nabove.
\nWhere is Jerusalem being <\/p>\n
421
\n00:27:41,000 –> 00:27:43,600
\nprepared from above?
\nWhere is Jerusalem going to be <\/p>\n
422
\n00:27:43,600 –> 00:27:45,120
\nsent from?
\nFrom above? <\/p>\n
423
\n00:27:46,240 –> 00:27:48,320
\nIt’s the same language.
\nIt’s the same vocabulary. <\/p>\n
424
\n00:27:49,280 –> 00:27:53,440
\nSo New Jerusalem is a people,
\nisn’t it? <\/p>\n
425
\n00:27:54,440 –> 00:27:57,440
\nBut it’s not just any people.
\nYou and I, brother And scissors.<\/p>\n
426
\n00:27:57,440 –> 00:28:02,240
\nWe’re not New Jerusalem, are we?
\nWe better hope not, because if I<\/p>\n
427
\n00:28:02,240 –> 00:28:05,840
\nwas in New Jerusalem, it’d be a
\npretty gross place. <\/p>\n
428
\n00:28:06,960 –> 00:28:10,040
\nBecause the Jason that Jason is
\nnow doesn’t deserve anything <\/p>\n
429
\n00:28:10,040 –> 00:28:14,880
\nclose to being a New Jerusalem.
\nNew Jerusalem is not mortal, <\/p>\n
430
\n00:28:15,080 –> 00:28:19,200
\ngross, yucky, disgusting people.
\nIt’s perfect, immortal people. <\/p>\n
431
\n00:28:21,160 –> 00:28:24,200
\nIt’s the bride of Christ, says
\nRevelation, the pillars in God’s<\/p>\n
432
\n00:28:24,200 –> 00:28:26,960
\ntemple name written on the
\nredeemed. <\/p>\n
433
\n00:28:26,960 –> 00:28:30,160
\nIt’s a, it’s a new ecclesia.
\nIt’s a, it’s a new body of <\/p>\n
434
\n00:28:30,160 –> 00:28:33,640
\npeople in Christ.
\nThat’s New Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
435
\n00:28:36,480 –> 00:28:39,880
\nWe’re all members of Christ’s
\nbody, his blood, his his body, <\/p>\n
436
\n00:28:39,880 –> 00:28:43,960
\nhis flesh and his bones.
\nIt’s a relationship of the bride<\/p>\n
437
\n00:28:44,200 –> 00:28:48,680
\nto the the old first born.
\nEve’s relationship to Adam. <\/p>\n
438
\n00:28:48,840 –> 00:28:53,880
\nSo is the new ecclesias relation
\nto the new first born Christ. <\/p>\n
439
\n00:28:56,840 –> 00:28:59,720
\nEphesians 5 tells us we could be
\npart of that. <\/p>\n
440
\n00:29:02,000 –> 00:29:03,960
\nAnd so we journeyed toward
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
441
\n00:29:07,440 –> 00:29:11,320
\nIt says in Hebrews just a
\nanother little verse, but you’re<\/p>\n
442
\n00:29:11,320 –> 00:29:14,440
\ncoming to Mount Zion and to the
\ncity of the living God, the <\/p>\n
443
\n00:29:14,480 –> 00:29:21,160
\nheavenly Jerusalem, to the
\nGeneral Assembly and Ecclesia of<\/p>\n
444
\n00:29:21,160 –> 00:29:24,160
\nthe first born, which are
\nwritten in heaven. <\/p>\n
445
\n00:29:24,240 –> 00:29:26,560
\nDo you see the language?
\nIt’s everywhere. <\/p>\n
446
\n00:29:26,560 –> 00:29:29,160
\nWhen you start to see it, it’s
\nall over. <\/p>\n
447
\n00:29:29,560 –> 00:29:32,000
\nIt’s a different Jerusalem.
\nIt’s a Jerusalem made-up of <\/p>\n
448
\n00:29:32,000 –> 00:29:34,640
\npeople who want to be it in part
\nof New Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
449
\n00:29:37,520 –> 00:29:41,440
\nAnd so Christ had to travel to
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
450
\n00:29:42,240 –> 00:29:46,160
\nHe had to get there.
\nIt wasn’t just death, it wasn’t <\/p>\n
451
\n00:29:46,160 –> 00:29:49,480
\njust pain, it wasn’t just
\nsorrow, it wasn’t just betrayal.<\/p>\n
452
\n00:29:51,520 –> 00:29:55,240
\nWho’s to begin putting in order
\nsomething brand new, A city not <\/p>\n
453
\n00:29:55,240 –> 00:30:00,240
\nof bricks, but a city of people.
\nThis is what He wanted the <\/p>\n
454
\n00:30:00,240 –> 00:30:05,640
\nentire journey, the pain, the
\ndisciples not understanding why <\/p>\n
455
\n00:30:05,640 –> 00:30:08,480
\nthey’re walking, the trial of
\npilot, the death on the cross, <\/p>\n
456
\n00:30:08,560 –> 00:30:11,960
\nthey’re all just events that
\nlead to this great ascension <\/p>\n
457
\n00:30:11,960 –> 00:30:15,360
\ninto heaven, to become a builder
\nof a new city. <\/p>\n
458
\n00:30:16,160 –> 00:30:19,080
\nThis was his mission.
\nNow why 2 Jerusalem’s? <\/p>\n
459
\n00:30:20,520 –> 00:30:26,400
\nWhy can’t he take the old one,
\nwipe it clean, restart with a <\/p>\n
460
\n00:30:27,160 –> 00:30:32,040
\ncity Why created new Jerusalem?
\nWhy is there this reason for two<\/p>\n
461
\n00:30:32,240 –> 00:30:37,360
\nJerusalem’s?
\nWell, Isaiah tells us Isaiah is <\/p>\n
462
\n00:30:37,360 –> 00:30:40,680
\na is a great book to look at if
\nyou’re trying to figure out what<\/p>\n
463
\n00:30:40,680 –> 00:30:43,880
\nGod’s plan for all of these
\nthese these cities are. <\/p>\n
464
\n00:30:44,320 –> 00:30:47,480
\nSo if you would like, I’d like
\nyou to come to Isaiah chapter 1.<\/p>\n
465
\n00:30:47,800 –> 00:30:48,920
\nIf you’d like to listen, that’s
\nfine. <\/p>\n
466
\n00:30:49,120 –> 00:30:52,120
\nBut Isaiah chapter 1 is going to
\ngive us a lot of clues to help <\/p>\n
467
\n00:30:52,120 –> 00:30:56,800
\nus understand why there needs to
\nbe a second Jerusalem in <\/p>\n
468
\n00:30:56,800 –> 00:31:02,640
\nChrist’s plan.
\nSo Isaiah chapter 1, Isaiah <\/p>\n
469
\n00:31:02,640 –> 00:31:10,360
\nchapter one, we’re going to
\nstart at verse one, the vision <\/p>\n
470
\n00:31:10,360 –> 00:31:14,200
\nof Isaiah, the son of Amos,
\nwhich he saw concerning Judah <\/p>\n
471
\n00:31:14,920 –> 00:31:20,120
\nand Jerusalem.
\nAll right, so we’re reading <\/p>\n
472
\n00:31:20,120 –> 00:31:22,040
\nabout Jerusalem.
\nIt’s clear. <\/p>\n
473
\n00:31:22,040 –> 00:31:25,840
\nAnd from Isaiah, this is a
\nprophecy concerning Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
474
\n00:31:26,080 –> 00:31:31,800
\nLook at verse 21.
\nHow is the faithful city become <\/p>\n
475
\n00:31:32,240 –> 00:31:38,920
\nan harlot?
\nIt was full of judgement. <\/p>\n
476
\n00:31:40,120 –> 00:31:45,960
\nRighteousness used to lodge in
\nit, but now murderers. <\/p>\n
477
\n00:31:48,320 –> 00:31:51,360
\nThy silvers become dross, thy
\nwine mixed with water, thy <\/p>\n
478
\n00:31:51,360 –> 00:31:54,680
\nPrincess are rebellious, and
\ntheir companions of thieves. <\/p>\n
479
\n00:31:54,960 –> 00:31:57,760
\nEveryone loveth gifts and
\nfolloweth after rewards. <\/p>\n
480
\n00:31:58,000 –> 00:32:00,080
\nThey judge not the fatherless,
\nneither doth the cause of the <\/p>\n
481
\n00:32:00,080 –> 00:32:04,240
\nwidow come unto them.
\nTherefore saith the Lord Yahweh <\/p>\n
482
\n00:32:04,240 –> 00:32:07,640
\nof hosts, the mighty One of
\nIsrael, I will ease me of mine <\/p>\n
483
\n00:32:07,640 –> 00:32:10,880
\nadversaries, and avenge me of
\nmine enemies. <\/p>\n
484
\n00:32:14,280 –> 00:32:19,400
\nVerse 25.
\nA new thought, and I will turn <\/p>\n
485
\n00:32:19,400 –> 00:32:24,920
\nmy hand upon thee purely, purge
\naway thy dross, take away all <\/p>\n
486
\n00:32:24,920 –> 00:32:30,920
\nthy tin, and I will restore thy
\njudges as at the 1st, and the <\/p>\n
487
\n00:32:30,920 –> 00:32:38,160
\ncouncillors as at the beginning.
\nSo this old Jerusalem, the <\/p>\n
488
\n00:32:38,160 –> 00:32:45,400
\nfaithful city that’s become in
\nharlot, that’s your old <\/p>\n
489
\n00:32:45,400 –> 00:32:48,280
\nJerusalem.
\nYou can’t work with that city. <\/p>\n
490
\n00:32:50,560 –> 00:32:56,600
\nIt’s becoming harlot.
\nBut he says in verses 26 and 27 <\/p>\n
491
\n00:32:58,080 –> 00:33:04,600
\nafterwards, he says the city
\nwill be called the city of <\/p>\n
492
\n00:33:04,600 –> 00:33:11,640
\nrighteousness, the faithful city
\nthat was nothing like the <\/p>\n
493
\n00:33:11,640 –> 00:33:16,520
\nJerusalem Jesus walked into Zion
\nshall be redeemed with judgement<\/p>\n
494
\n00:33:17,600 –> 00:33:19,720
\nand to converts with
\nrighteousness. <\/p>\n
495
\n00:33:21,160 –> 00:33:24,520
\nThis is the city that they
\nlooked for. <\/p>\n
496
\n00:33:26,040 –> 00:33:29,760
\nThis is the city that Christ
\nwent to create, a city of <\/p>\n
497
\n00:33:29,760 –> 00:33:34,560
\nrighteousness, a faithful city,
\na joyful city, a pure city, a <\/p>\n
498
\n00:33:34,560 –> 00:33:41,040
\nperfect city, a new city.
\nSo Christ can stand on the <\/p>\n
499
\n00:33:41,040 –> 00:33:43,120
\nsermon.
\nChrist can stand on the mount in<\/p>\n
500
\n00:33:43,120 –> 00:33:45,960
\nhis sermon and say, blessed are
\nthey which do hunger and thirst <\/p>\n
501
\n00:33:46,040 –> 00:33:51,800
\nafter righteousness.
\nThey’ll be filled, He says, <\/p>\n
502
\n00:33:54,080 –> 00:33:55,960
\nbecause the city will be full of
\nit. <\/p>\n
503
\n00:33:57,920 –> 00:34:00,240
\nIt’ll be a faithful city, a
\nrighteous city. <\/p>\n
504
\n00:34:02,400 –> 00:34:05,400
\nThe prophecy of Isaiah chapter
\n2. <\/p>\n
505
\n00:34:06,000 –> 00:34:11,159
\nWho is this prophecy written to?
\nThe word of that Isaiah, the son<\/p>\n
506
\n00:34:11,159 –> 00:34:14,560
\nof Amos.
\nAh, concerning first one, Judah <\/p>\n
507
\n00:34:14,880 –> 00:34:19,800
\nand Jerusalem, same prophecy,
\nsame audience. <\/p>\n
508
\n00:34:20,480 –> 00:34:27,400
\nCome, let us go to the mountain
\nof Yahweh, for out of Zion shall<\/p>\n
509
\n00:34:27,400 –> 00:34:31,639
\ngo forth the law, the Torah, and
\nthe Word of Yahweh. <\/p>\n
510
\n00:34:31,880 –> 00:34:36,159
\nFrom Jerusalem, O House of
\nJacob, come let us walk in the <\/p>\n
511
\n00:34:36,159 –> 00:34:39,800
\nlight of Yahweh, the word of
\nYahweh. <\/p>\n
512
\n00:34:39,920 –> 00:34:43,400
\nFrom Jerusalem, brothers and
\nsisters, the city has never been<\/p>\n
513
\n00:34:43,400 –> 00:34:47,239
\nlike this.
\nPeople wouldn’t go to Jerusalem <\/p>\n
514
\n00:34:47,239 –> 00:34:52,960
\nto learn about God’s word except
\nfor a blippin time during David,<\/p>\n
515
\n00:34:54,080 –> 00:34:59,240
\nHezekiah, some great kings.
\nBut when Christ walked onto the <\/p>\n
516
\n00:34:59,240 –> 00:35:03,360
\nscene, it was filthy.
\nBut the word of Yahweh from <\/p>\n
517
\n00:35:03,360 –> 00:35:04,720
\nJerusalem.
\nWhere have we heard about the <\/p>\n
518
\n00:35:04,720 –> 00:35:07,720
\nword of Yahweh before?
\nDeuteronomy 18, verse 18. <\/p>\n
519
\n00:35:07,720 –> 00:35:10,160
\nI will put my words in His
\nmouth. <\/p>\n
520
\n00:35:10,560 –> 00:35:13,480
\nThe words of God would come
\nforth from Jerusalem, from <\/p>\n
521
\n00:35:14,840 –> 00:35:21,000
\nChrist Himself.
\nAnd so, brothers and sisters, <\/p>\n
522
\n00:35:22,400 –> 00:35:25,320
\nthese were all the ingredients
\nneeded for new Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
523
\n00:35:25,320 –> 00:35:28,840
\nIt was all there.
\nThe prophets laid everything out<\/p>\n
524
\n00:35:28,840 –> 00:35:30,960
\nfor us, didn’t they?
\nThey told us what we needed. <\/p>\n
525
\n00:35:31,960 –> 00:35:38,000
\nA city of people up there on a
\nmountain showing everyone God’s <\/p>\n
526
\n00:35:38,000 –> 00:35:41,680
\nlight.
\nThat’s what we look for. <\/p>\n
527
\n00:35:42,440 –> 00:35:45,520
\nThat’s New Jerusalem.
\nThese are the ingredients. <\/p>\n
528
\n00:35:45,520 –> 00:35:49,400
\nThis is the recipe.
\nOld Jerusalem didn’t fit this <\/p>\n
529
\n00:35:49,400 –> 00:35:51,920
\nmold, didn’t have all those
\nthings. <\/p>\n
530
\n00:35:52,480 –> 00:35:55,960
\nSo when Christ walked into that
\ncity, it didn’t work. <\/p>\n
531
\n00:35:55,960 –> 00:36:01,040
\nHe couldn’t use that, so God
\nsends a new prophet to build a <\/p>\n
532
\n00:36:01,040 –> 00:36:03,440
\nnew Jerusalem to house his new
\ncreation. <\/p>\n
533
\n00:36:06,080 –> 00:36:09,000
\nNow further on in Matthew 5
\nafter the Sermon on the Mount, <\/p>\n
534
\n00:36:10,680 –> 00:36:16,680
\nChrist gives us an amazing
\nglimpse into His plan to begin <\/p>\n
535
\n00:36:16,680 –> 00:36:20,200
\nthis city rolling.
\nI’ll read it for you and it’ll <\/p>\n
536
\n00:36:20,200 –> 00:36:30,600
\nbe up on the screen.
\nMatthew 5 verse 14, he says you <\/p>\n
537
\n00:36:30,600 –> 00:36:34,960
\nare the light of the world.
\nHe tells his disciples you’re <\/p>\n
538
\n00:36:34,960 –> 00:36:41,240
\nthe light of the world.
\nYou are a city set on a hill <\/p>\n
539
\n00:36:42,960 –> 00:36:48,800
\nthat can’t be hidden.
\nMatthew 514 he tells his <\/p>\n
540
\n00:36:48,800 –> 00:36:51,400
\ndisciples you’re everything
\nthat’s needed. <\/p>\n
541
\n00:36:51,640 –> 00:36:55,800
\nAll those ingredients spoken of,
\nwe can work with you. <\/p>\n
542
\n00:36:57,880 –> 00:37:07,600
\nThat city disciples there on a
\nmountain in view for everything <\/p>\n
543
\n00:37:07,920 –> 00:37:12,040
\nand everyone.
\nIt’s all there, it’s everything.<\/p>\n
544
\n00:37:12,040 –> 00:37:14,000
\nIt’s all there.
\nAnd he starts with his 12. <\/p>\n
545
\n00:37:14,680 –> 00:37:18,680
\nHe says we’re going to
\nJerusalem, we’re going to get <\/p>\n
546
\n00:37:18,680 –> 00:37:22,960
\nthis rolling, let’s go.
\nAnd he brings the 12 with them, <\/p>\n
547
\n00:37:23,120 –> 00:37:26,240
\nand they travel to Jerusalem to
\nbegin work on a new city. <\/p>\n
548
\n00:37:26,240 –> 00:37:29,240
\nAnd the disciples the whole time
\nhave no idea what’s going on. <\/p>\n
549
\n00:37:33,360 –> 00:37:35,160
\nThey have zero clue what’s
\nhappening. <\/p>\n
550
\n00:37:36,120 –> 00:37:38,800
\nThey’re confused in the
\nbeginning and they’re confused <\/p>\n
551
\n00:37:38,800 –> 00:37:40,760
\nsteps away from entering the
\ncity. <\/p>\n
552
\n00:37:41,840 –> 00:37:43,520
\nThey’re confused before the
\nresurrection. <\/p>\n
553
\n00:37:43,640 –> 00:37:45,120
\nThey’re confused after the
\nresurrection. <\/p>\n
554
\n00:37:47,520 –> 00:37:53,760
\nBut he chooses them.
\nHe chooses 12 flawed, confused <\/p>\n
555
\n00:37:53,840 –> 00:37:57,680
\npeople.
\nBrothers, sisters. <\/p>\n
556
\n00:37:57,880 –> 00:38:04,640
\nHow comforting is that, that he
\ndealt with those 12 the whole <\/p>\n
557
\n00:38:04,640 –> 00:38:07,160
\ntime?
\nI’m going to start something <\/p>\n
558
\n00:38:07,160 –> 00:38:09,960
\ngreat with you.
\nI’m going to build a new city <\/p>\n
559
\n00:38:10,400 –> 00:38:15,320
\nwith you.
\nAnd here we are more lost, more <\/p>\n
560
\n00:38:15,320 –> 00:38:20,040
\nconfused than they were.
\nHe says, I’ll work with you too.<\/p>\n
561
\n00:38:20,840 –> 00:38:22,040
\nYou could be a part of that
\ncity. <\/p>\n
562
\n00:38:22,440 –> 00:38:24,920
\nYou can come follow me to
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
563
\n00:38:27,320 –> 00:38:34,040
\nAnd so he starts with these 12
\nNow this shouldn’t surprise us. <\/p>\n
564
\n00:38:34,040 –> 00:38:37,080
\nWe, we know Revelation, come, I
\nwill show you the brides as <\/p>\n
565
\n00:38:37,080 –> 00:38:40,200
\nRevelation 21.
\nI will show you the bride, the <\/p>\n
566
\n00:38:40,200 –> 00:38:43,960
\nwife of the Lamb.
\nAnd it says, and he carried me <\/p>\n
567
\n00:38:43,960 –> 00:38:47,880
\naway in the Spirit to a great
\nhigh mountain, and he showed me <\/p>\n
568
\n00:38:47,880 –> 00:38:51,560
\nthe holy city, Jerusalem, same
\nlanguage, the mountain, the <\/p>\n
569
\n00:38:51,560 –> 00:38:55,920
\nholiness of the city as compared
\nto the old coming down out of <\/p>\n
570
\n00:38:55,920 –> 00:38:58,160
\nheaven from God.
\nIt’s the same language. <\/p>\n
571
\n00:39:00,160 –> 00:39:02,400
\nBut look what else he uses to
\ndescribe the city. <\/p>\n
572
\n00:39:03,360 –> 00:39:06,200
\nHe says further on in Revelation
\n21, verses 9 and 10, that the <\/p>\n
573
\n00:39:06,200 –> 00:39:09,760
\ncity has 12 gates, it’s 12
\nangels, 12 tribes, 12 <\/p>\n
574
\n00:39:09,760 –> 00:39:13,160
\nfoundations.
\nThe wall of the city has, as the<\/p>\n
575
\n00:39:13,160 –> 00:39:16,320
\nverse says, 12 foundations.
\nBut not only that, for the <\/p>\n
576
\n00:39:16,320 –> 00:39:18,000
\nsisters, look what else the city
\nhas. <\/p>\n
577
\n00:39:18,280 –> 00:39:22,600
\nThere were 12 names of the 12
\napostles. <\/p>\n
578
\n00:39:26,880 –> 00:39:29,640
\nThe chapter continues to talk
\nabout the measurements, the 12 <\/p>\n
579
\n00:39:29,640 –> 00:39:30,920
\nStones that adorn these
\nfoundations. <\/p>\n
580
\n00:39:31,040 –> 00:39:33,680
\nEverything has to do with 12
\nbecause the 12 names of the 12 <\/p>\n
581
\n00:39:33,680 –> 00:39:36,560
\napostles.
\nThis is the new city of <\/p>\n
582
\n00:39:36,560 –> 00:39:42,240
\nJerusalem.
\nAnd so he brings those apostles <\/p>\n
583
\n00:39:45,000 –> 00:39:51,720
\nin their confusion, in their
\nlack of attention, in their <\/p>\n
584
\n00:39:51,720 –> 00:39:56,960
\nfalling asleep.
\nAnd he says, I’ll use you. <\/p>\n
585
\n00:40:00,720 –> 00:40:03,080
\nAnd it’s where it all started.
\nIt was the beginning of a city. <\/p>\n
586
\n00:40:04,160 –> 00:40:07,800
\nHe’s going to spend that journey
\nto the old Jerusalem trying and <\/p>\n
587
\n00:40:07,800 –> 00:40:12,840
\ntrying and trying and trying to
\nget those 12 to see that it is <\/p>\n
588
\n00:40:12,840 –> 00:40:15,480
\nso much more than the Old City
\nthey should be worried about. <\/p>\n
589
\n00:40:18,160 –> 00:40:20,640
\nWe’re not looking at this city
\nof bricks and stones. <\/p>\n
590
\n00:40:20,760 –> 00:40:23,520
\nLook past it.
\nLook through the city. <\/p>\n
591
\n00:40:25,960 –> 00:40:28,040
\nLook at the prophets.
\nWhat are they Speaking of? <\/p>\n
592
\n00:40:28,360 –> 00:40:33,640
\nSomething far greater.
\nAnd he needed to prove to them, <\/p>\n
593
\n00:40:33,800 –> 00:40:37,280
\nbrothers and sisters, in this
\njourney before he was brought <\/p>\n
594
\n00:40:37,280 –> 00:40:41,200
\ninto heaven, that a new
\nJerusalem was far greater than <\/p>\n
595
\n00:40:41,200 –> 00:40:45,080
\nthe old Jerusalem.
\nThat’s what he needed to prove <\/p>\n
596
\n00:40:45,080 –> 00:40:50,360
\nto them.
\nAnd he spent that whole time <\/p>\n
597
\n00:40:51,360 –> 00:40:56,280
\njourneying toward Jerusalem,
\ntrying to get them to see that, <\/p>\n
598
\n00:40:59,400 –> 00:41:03,360
\nto create a living Jerusalem.
\nThe interesting thing is, is <\/p>\n
599
\n00:41:03,360 –> 00:41:06,600
\nthat if they were really paying
\nattention, they should have <\/p>\n
600
\n00:41:06,600 –> 00:41:08,600
\ncaught this many, many, many
\ntimes. <\/p>\n
601
\n00:41:08,640 –> 00:41:11,600
\nWe’re going to look at just a
\ncouple verses purely in Luke’s <\/p>\n
602
\n00:41:11,600 –> 00:41:13,080
\ngospel.
\nYou can look at other gospels to<\/p>\n
603
\n00:41:13,080 –> 00:41:15,560
\nprove this as well, but we’ll
\njust stick to Luke. <\/p>\n
604
\n00:41:16,240 –> 00:41:19,360
\nLuke 1334 to 35.
\nHe’s talking about the city of <\/p>\n
605
\n00:41:19,360 –> 00:41:23,320
\nJerusalem.
\nHe says it’s the city that kills<\/p>\n
606
\n00:41:23,440 –> 00:41:31,440
\nthe prophets.
\nLuke 19 He’s almost there in <\/p>\n
607
\n00:41:31,440 –> 00:41:36,640
\nLuke 19.
\nHe’s just steps away and he sees<\/p>\n
608
\n00:41:36,640 –> 00:41:40,320
\nthe city and does it bring him
\njubilance? <\/p>\n
609
\n00:41:41,760 –> 00:41:46,080
\nHe cries over it.
\nHe knows what the future of the <\/p>\n
610
\n00:41:46,080 –> 00:41:52,320
\ncity holds.
\nLuke 19 He says to the people, <\/p>\n
611
\n00:41:52,320 –> 00:41:56,640
\nYou’ve made a den of robbers.
\nThe temple of God is now a den <\/p>\n
612
\n00:41:56,640 –> 00:42:05,440
\nof robbers, he says.
\nLuke 20 His prophecy Jerusalem <\/p>\n
613
\n00:42:05,800 –> 00:42:12,080
\nwill be trampled under foot.
\nThis is the language he uses on <\/p>\n
614
\n00:42:12,080 –> 00:42:14,560
\nhis journey.
\nCan you believe this? <\/p>\n
615
\n00:42:15,680 –> 00:42:20,120
\nAnd the disciples you can
\nunderstand? <\/p>\n
616
\n00:42:20,920 –> 00:42:24,280
\nWe’re so confused.
\nWhy are we going? <\/p>\n
617
\n00:42:24,960 –> 00:42:27,960
\nWhat is this journey about?
\nWhy are we going to a city? <\/p>\n
618
\n00:42:27,960 –> 00:42:29,200
\nWhy are you crying over the
\ncity? <\/p>\n
619
\n00:42:29,200 –> 00:42:30,880
\nWhy are you saying it’s going to
\nbe ruined? <\/p>\n
620
\n00:42:31,800 –> 00:42:33,080
\nI don’t.
\nI don’t understand what we’re <\/p>\n
621
\n00:42:33,080 –> 00:42:38,760
\ndoing.
\nAnd he says, just come on, it <\/p>\n
622
\n00:42:38,760 –> 00:42:41,360
\nall makes sense.
\nJust follow me toward Jerusalem.<\/p>\n
623
\n00:42:45,560 –> 00:42:48,880
\nJeremiah 32.
\nI’m just going to put up a few <\/p>\n
624
\n00:42:48,880 –> 00:42:52,800
\nverses here on the screen.
\nJeremiah 32 goes over a prophecy<\/p>\n
625
\n00:42:53,160 –> 00:42:57,520
\nthat shows that it was never
\nreally God’s intention to use <\/p>\n
626
\n00:42:57,520 –> 00:43:02,080
\nthat old city.
\nIt says the city has aroused my <\/p>\n
627
\n00:43:02,080 –> 00:43:08,520
\nanger and wrath from the day it
\nwas built to this day. <\/p>\n
628
\n00:43:10,400 –> 00:43:13,040
\nFrom the day the city was built
\nuntil this day. <\/p>\n
629
\n00:43:13,880 –> 00:43:17,080
\nI will remove it from my sight
\nbecause of all the evil of the <\/p>\n
630
\n00:43:17,080 –> 00:43:19,080
\nchildren of Israel and the
\nchildren of Judah. <\/p>\n
631
\n00:43:19,400 –> 00:43:21,840
\nThey did provoke me to anger.
\nThey’re kings, they’re <\/p>\n
632
\n00:43:21,840 –> 00:43:24,240
\nofficials, they’re priests,
\nthey’re prophets. <\/p>\n
633
\n00:43:24,400 –> 00:43:29,840
\nThe men of Judah and the
\ninhabitants of Jerusalem, They <\/p>\n
634
\n00:43:29,840 –> 00:43:32,600
\nhave turned to me.
\nThey’re back, he says, not their<\/p>\n
635
\n00:43:32,600 –> 00:43:35,480
\nface.
\nSo God through the prophet <\/p>\n
636
\n00:43:35,480 –> 00:43:39,960
\nJeremiah says the day it was
\nbuilt it was a wicked city. <\/p>\n
637
\n00:43:40,400 –> 00:43:43,680
\nBut this follows the ingredients
\nof all the cities we saw you <\/p>\n
638
\n00:43:43,680 –> 00:43:46,360
\nlast night.
\nThe city of Cain, the city of <\/p>\n
639
\n00:43:46,360 –> 00:43:50,600
\nBabel.
\nThis is what cities are until <\/p>\n
640
\n00:43:50,600 –> 00:43:57,800
\nGod can create a new city.
\nRevelation 21. <\/p>\n
641
\n00:44:00,040 –> 00:44:08,760
\nI saw the holy city, the New
\nJerusalem, coming down out of <\/p>\n
642
\n00:44:08,760 –> 00:44:16,720
\nheaven from God, prepared as a
\nbride, beautifully dressed, says<\/p>\n
643
\n00:44:16,720 –> 00:44:25,200
\nthe NIV for her husband.
\nAnd I heard a loud voice from <\/p>\n
644
\n00:44:25,200 –> 00:44:34,120
\nthe throne saying, Look, God’s
\ndwelling place is now among the <\/p>\n
645
\n00:44:34,280 –> 00:44:41,680
\npeople, and he will dwell with
\nthem, says Revelation 21. <\/p>\n
646
\n00:44:43,600 –> 00:44:49,240
\nGod can dwell with people, it
\ncan happen, and by the sisters <\/p>\n
647
\n00:44:49,240 –> 00:44:55,120
\nit will happen.
\nAnd he who was seated on the <\/p>\n
648
\n00:44:55,120 –> 00:44:59,560
\nthrone said, I’m making
\neverything new. <\/p>\n
649
\n00:45:01,880 –> 00:45:05,120
\nAnd even though God promised
\nthat he would destroy the <\/p>\n
650
\n00:45:05,120 –> 00:45:10,400
\nwickedness of the city of
\nJerusalem, he promised that he <\/p>\n
651
\n00:45:10,400 –> 00:45:16,800
\nwould bring about a new
\nJerusalem, a perfect city of <\/p>\n
652
\n00:45:16,800 –> 00:45:21,560
\nimmortal Saints who only desire
\nis to serve God. <\/p>\n
653
\n00:45:23,200 –> 00:45:27,840
\nAnd Christ, sitting on His
\nthrone in the heavens, declared <\/p>\n
654
\n00:45:27,840 –> 00:45:33,920
\nthrough John that He’s making
\neverything new, the new <\/p>\n
655
\n00:45:33,920 –> 00:45:38,480
\ncreation.
\nAnd so he gathers his swelled <\/p>\n
656
\n00:45:38,480 –> 00:45:45,400
\ndisciples in Luke 9 to begin a
\nbrand new mission, to be lifted <\/p>\n
657
\n00:45:45,400 –> 00:45:50,120
\nup, to begin working on a new
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
658
\n00:45:50,120 –> 00:45:57,080
\nAnd brothers and sisters, This
\nis why he steadfastly set his <\/p>\n
659
\n00:45:57,080 –> 00:46:02,680
\nface to go to Jerusalem.
\nHe was going to be received up <\/p>\n
660
\n00:46:03,800 –> 00:46:06,920
\nto begin that work.
\nHe was hoisted first onto a <\/p>\n
661
\n00:46:06,920 –> 00:46:14,360
\ncross which would result in the
\nnew creation, and then he would <\/p>\n
662
\n00:46:14,360 –> 00:46:18,640
\nascend to his Father’s side and
\nto begin work on a new city. <\/p>\n
663
\n00:46:20,920 –> 00:46:25,960
\nAnd so, brothers and sisters, we
\nfollow Christ to Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
664
\n00:46:28,320 –> 00:46:31,960
\nWe only have a couple minutes
\nleft, but what I’d like us to do<\/p>\n
665
\n00:46:31,960 –> 00:46:38,280
\nbefore the end of our time is to
\njust see if we can fill out in <\/p>\n
666
\n00:46:38,280 –> 00:46:41,080
\nour handout session one.
\nWe just have a couple more <\/p>\n
667
\n00:46:41,080 –> 00:46:45,720
\nminutes, right?
\nPresider got the thumbs up. <\/p>\n
668
\n00:46:45,720 –> 00:46:47,560
\nWe just have a couple more
\nminutes. <\/p>\n
669
\n00:46:47,760 –> 00:46:52,440
\nSo is everybody comfortable with
\nwhere the journey begins and the<\/p>\n
670
\n00:46:52,440 –> 00:46:55,600
\njourney ends?
\nWe, we might have missed the <\/p>\n
671
\n00:46:55,600 –> 00:46:57,720
\njourney’s purpose because I
\ndidn’t actually talk about it, <\/p>\n
672
\n00:46:58,080 –> 00:47:00,320
\nbut it’ll come up soon.
\nSo if you wrote something down, <\/p>\n
673
\n00:47:00,440 –> 00:47:06,800
\nwell done.
\nJourney begins where good Luke <\/p>\n
674
\n00:47:06,800 –> 00:47:11,720
\n951, it ends in Luke 19, New
\nJerusalem where the city start. <\/p>\n
675
\n00:47:11,720 –> 00:47:15,280
\nBut I would like you guys to
\nfocus on is just in the last <\/p>\n
676
\n00:47:15,280 –> 00:47:18,960
\ncouple minutes of silence here.
\nSee if you guys can just come up<\/p>\n
677
\n00:47:18,960 –> 00:47:22,880
\nwith some sort of goal
\nspiritually for yourself so that<\/p>\n
678
\n00:47:22,880 –> 00:47:29,040
\nwhen you get home Sunday,
\nMonday, Saturday, you could say,<\/p>\n
679
\n00:47:29,040 –> 00:47:33,120
\nOK, I know what, I need to work
\non this one little thing. <\/p>\n
680
\n00:47:33,200 –> 00:47:35,120
\nI can tackle this.
\nI can do this. <\/p>\n
681
\n00:47:35,440 –> 00:47:38,400
\nJust a little spiritual goal.
\nIt could be something as small <\/p>\n
682
\n00:47:38,400 –> 00:47:41,640
\nas I haven’t spoken to this
\nbrother in months. <\/p>\n
683
\n00:47:41,640 –> 00:47:44,080
\nI’m going to go out for a cup of
\ncoffee. <\/p>\n
684
\n00:47:44,880 –> 00:47:48,480
\nIt could be something as great
\nas I haven’t seen this family in<\/p>\n
685
\n00:47:48,480 –> 00:47:52,440
\nyears.
\nI’m going to call them up. <\/p>\n
686
\n00:47:53,360 –> 00:47:55,560
\nI’m going to tell them something
\nencouraging spiritually and see <\/p>\n
687
\n00:47:55,560 –> 00:47:58,640
\nif I can bring them back,
\nwhatever it can be, brothers and<\/p>\n
688
\n00:47:58,640 –> 00:48:02,040
\nsisters in your in your mind
\nspiritually. <\/p>\n
689
\n00:48:02,480 –> 00:48:08,240
\nHopefully we will all leave this
\nBible school pumped up, excited <\/p>\n
690
\n00:48:09,320 –> 00:48:12,760
\nabout the spiritual future we
\nall have. <\/p>\n
691
\n00:48:13,880 –> 00:48:17,000
\nAnd let’s see if we can come up
\nwith just a spiritual goal <\/p>\n
692
\n00:48:18,280 –> 00:48:19,800
\nduring our Bible school
\ntogether. <\/p>\n
693
\n00:48:20,080 –> 00:48:22,400
\nSo I’m going to leave you guys
\nwith with that. <\/p>\n
694
\n00:48:23,880 –> 00:48:27,520
\nAnd if you guys can make sure
\nthat that section at least <\/p>\n
695
\n00:48:27,520 –> 00:48:32,040
\ntomorrow for our sessions is
\nfilled out the spiritual goal. <\/p>\n
696
\n00:48:32,240 –> 00:48:33,960
\nBecause what you guys are going
\nto see is that throughout the <\/p>\n
697
\n00:48:34,120 –> 00:48:39,920
\nthe coming days, we will
\nactually see if we can build on <\/p>\n
698
\n00:48:39,920 –> 00:48:42,080
\nthat goal.
\nAnd we’ll apply some things. <\/p>\n
699
\n00:48:42,080 –> 00:48:44,680
\nAnd these are going to be very
\nflexible to whatever your goal <\/p>\n
700
\n00:48:44,680 –> 00:48:49,960
\nhappens to be and see if we can
\nkind of start adding things onto<\/p>\n
701
\n00:48:49,960 –> 00:48:52,160
\nit, buckling and snapping things
\ntogether. <\/p>\n
702
\n00:48:52,560 –> 00:48:54,120
\nOK.
\nAnd if you guys would like to, <\/p>\n
703
\n00:48:54,120 –> 00:48:55,680
\nyou guys can kind of cruise
\naround, you’ll see that we’ve <\/p>\n
704
\n00:48:55,680 –> 00:48:57,560
\ngot some critical thinking
\nquestions throughout here. <\/p>\n
705
\n00:48:57,960 –> 00:49:01,640
\nBut again, I do encourage you
\nguys to see if you guys can find<\/p>\n
706
\n00:49:01,640 –> 00:49:03,480
\nan application for this
\nthroughout the week. <\/p>\n
707
\n00:49:03,480 –> 00:49:05,640
\nIf you don’t want to, it’s
\ncompletely fine. <\/p>\n
708
\n00:49:05,920 –> 00:49:07,840
\nIt’s got a nice little coloring
\nmap on the back. <\/p>\n
