1
\n00:00:03,960 –> 00:00:05,440
\nWelcome to good Christophian
\ntalks. <\/p>\n

2
\n00:00:05,920 –> 00:00:07,120
\nThank you for joining us this
\nweek. <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:07,680 –> 00:00:11,040
\nOn this podcast, we select one
\ntalk a week to help us get the <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:11,040 –> 00:00:15,960
\nBible in our Daily News feed.
\nEach week we post a talk that we<\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:15,960 –> 00:00:18,960
\npreviewed from suggestions sent
\nin by listeners from around the <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:18,960 –> 00:00:21,520
\nworld.
\nThen we record a short intro <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:21,520 –> 00:00:25,000
\nbeforehand as a personalized
\nrecommendation to you on why we <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:25,000 –> 00:00:27,960
\nare sharing the talk.
\nAnd now let’s talk more about <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:27,960 –> 00:00:35,680
\nthis week’s talk.
\nHowdy, this is Matthew I <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:35,680 –> 00:00:39,400
\npilgrimage in Detroit and I’m a
\ndisciple of Christ of the <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:39,400 –> 00:00:40,680
\nMilford Rd.
\nEcclesia. <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:41,600 –> 00:00:45,080
\nThis week’s talk is a class
\nentitled You Do Show Forth the <\/p>\n

13
\n00:00:45,080 –> 00:00:48,720
\nLord’s Death from the series
\ngiven by Brother Johnny Manell <\/p>\n

14
\n00:00:48,760 –> 00:00:52,880
\nat the Terra Nova Bible School
\nin 2011 called The Breaking of <\/p>\n

15
\n00:00:52,880 –> 00:00:55,920
\nBread.
\nThe emblems on Sunday morning <\/p>\n

16
\n00:00:55,920 –> 00:01:00,240
\ncan be tricky for some people.
\nWe commonly hear that we can’t <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:00,240 –> 00:01:04,400
\nlet the bread and wine become a
\nritual that we do just to do. <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:05,600 –> 00:01:09,800
\nBut how many of us don’t even
\nreally know what these two <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:09,800 –> 00:01:12,960
\nsymbols are supposed to
\nrepresent, or what they’re <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:12,960 –> 00:01:16,760
\nsupposed to get us to feel?
\nIt might be thinking they <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:16,760 –> 00:01:20,280
\nrepresent the Lord’s body and
\nblood, which of course is true, <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:21,000 –> 00:01:25,560
\nbut what does that knowledge do
\nfor our morality and service? <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:26,760 –> 00:01:30,120
\nBrother Johnny examines the
\nwords of First Corinthians where<\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:30,120 –> 00:01:31,840
\nyou’ll recognize the familiar
\nwords. <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:32,280 –> 00:01:35,560
\nFor as often as you eat this
\nbread and drink this cup, you do<\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:35,560 –> 00:01:37,640
\nshow forth the Lord’s death till
\nhe come. <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:38,440 –> 00:01:42,480
\nWe walk through what it means
\nand looks like for us to show <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:42,480 –> 00:01:44,760
\nChrist’s death at the breaking
\nof bread. <\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:45,760 –> 00:01:48,760
\nBrother Johnny provides a moving
\ncall to action. <\/p>\n

30
\n00:01:49,320 –> 00:01:52,360
\nA common word you’ll pick up in
\nthis class is do. <\/p>\n

31
\n00:01:53,440 –> 00:01:57,040
\nAnd that’s something that I had
\nnever thought of, that the <\/p>\n

32
\n00:01:57,040 –> 00:02:01,480
\nlittle piece of bread and simple
\nsip of wine is supposed to <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:01,480 –> 00:02:04,480
\nremind us of our need to get up
\nand do. <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:05,600 –> 00:02:09,160
\nThis series will be on the
\nextended podcast and we’d highly<\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:09,160 –> 00:02:12,920
\nrecommend listening to the
\nremaining classes, especially if<\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:12,920 –> 00:02:17,040
\nyou are someone who doesn’t
\nalways know how to make the most<\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:17,040 –> 00:02:20,960
\nout of the bread and the wine.
\nClasses like these can be so <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:20,960 –> 00:02:25,840
\nimmensely helpful to provide
\nstrong scriptural grounding for <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:25,840 –> 00:02:29,880
\nour weekly tradition.
\nSo here is brother Johnny Manel <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:29,880 –> 00:02:33,000
\nwith his class.
\nYou do show forth the Lord’s <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:33,000 –> 00:02:34,600
\ndeath.
\nWell, good morning brothers and <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:34,600 –> 00:02:37,400
\nsisters.
\nSo let’s let’s just make sure we<\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:37,400 –> 00:02:39,680
\nknow where we’ve been so far In
\nour first session. <\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:39,680 –> 00:02:40,840
\nI really wanted to share with
\nyou. <\/p>\n

45
\n00:02:40,840 –> 00:02:43,400
\nIf you remember, it feels like a
\nlong time ago now, doesn’t it? <\/p>\n

46
\n00:02:43,400 –> 00:02:44,880
\nWe’re just hitting the halfway
\npoint. <\/p>\n

47
\n00:02:44,880 –> 00:02:48,280
\nSo you know, we’re on the home
\nstraights now in our first <\/p>\n

48
\n00:02:48,280 –> 00:02:49,560
\nsession.
\nI really wanted to share with <\/p>\n

49
\n00:02:49,560 –> 00:02:53,280
\nyou or or at least try and get
\ninside the mindset and the <\/p>\n

50
\n00:02:53,280 –> 00:02:55,360
\nattitude and the demeanour of
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n

51
\n00:02:55,360 –> 00:02:56,960
\nRemember that.
\nBe of good cheer. <\/p>\n

52
\n00:02:56,960 –> 00:02:59,600
\nI have overcome the world.
\nI want you to have my joy, my <\/p>\n

53
\n00:02:59,600 –> 00:03:02,960
\npeace, the the confidence and
\nthe sense of purpose in the mind<\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:02,960 –> 00:03:05,680
\nof the Lord Jesus Christ.
\nThat as we come and break bread <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:05,680 –> 00:03:08,920
\nand share in that memory, we
\nmight remember a man who is <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:08,920 –> 00:03:12,640
\nabsolutely determined to fulfil
\nfor our sake the things that God<\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:12,640 –> 00:03:14,960
\nhad given him to do and
\ndelighted to do so. <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:15,400 –> 00:03:19,800
\nFor the joy set before him, he
\nendured the cross and that joy, <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:19,800 –> 00:03:22,760
\nBrent sisters, was bound up in
\nyou and I and what a privilege <\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:22,760 –> 00:03:25,520
\nit is to think about that and
\ndwell on that week by week. <\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:25,520 –> 00:03:28,400
\nAnd then yesterday we talked
\nabout the symbols of the bread <\/p>\n

62
\n00:03:28,400 –> 00:03:30,360
\nand wine.
\nThis bread is my body. <\/p>\n

63
\n00:03:30,600 –> 00:03:33,040
\nAnd we went through the feeding
\nof the 5000 in John six there <\/p>\n

64
\n00:03:33,040 –> 00:03:36,080
\nwhere Jesus was at pains to
\npoint out that the bread was a <\/p>\n

65
\n00:03:36,080 –> 00:03:38,960
\nsymbol of the power of the word
\nof God and what it can do in the<\/p>\n

66
\n00:03:38,960 –> 00:03:42,600
\nlife of of any man or woman when
\nthey are willing to submit to it<\/p>\n

67
\n00:03:42,600 –> 00:03:45,840
\nand allow their lives and their
\nthinking and their feeling to be<\/p>\n

68
\n00:03:45,840 –> 00:03:49,320
\ninfluenced and motivated by it.
\nAnd he wanted to share that with<\/p>\n

69
\n00:03:49,320 –> 00:03:51,560
\nus.
\nThis bread is my body, which <\/p>\n

70
\n00:03:51,560 –> 00:03:54,400
\nI’ve given for you.
\nAnd, and if you’re willing to <\/p>\n

71
\n00:03:54,400 –> 00:03:57,240
\nsubmit your lives to the power
\nof the word of God, as I have <\/p>\n

72
\n00:03:57,240 –> 00:04:00,680
\ndone in mine, then then great
\nthings can happen in your life <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:00,680 –> 00:04:04,320
\nand that power can be harnessed
\nand and made use of in your <\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:04,320 –> 00:04:05,840
\nlife.
\nAnd we thought very briefly <\/p>\n

75
\n00:04:05,840 –> 00:04:08,360
\nyesterday, once again, I ended
\nup rushing towards the end. <\/p>\n

76
\n00:04:08,760 –> 00:04:11,360
\nWe were we were at the marriage
\nat Cana with the power of the <\/p>\n

77
\n00:04:11,360 –> 00:04:17,320
\nnew wine and the energy and the
\nthe the strength that’s exists <\/p>\n

78
\n00:04:17,320 –> 00:04:21,640
\nin that new never tasted before
\nwine, the symbol of the new life<\/p>\n

79
\n00:04:21,640 –> 00:04:25,120
\nwith all that it can do with the
\nthe way it stretches and tests <\/p>\n

80
\n00:04:25,120 –> 00:04:28,160
\nand and expands us and
\nWetherbrand sisters. <\/p>\n

81
\n00:04:28,320 –> 00:04:32,480
\nOur bottles are are able to be
\nchallenged by that, that <\/p>\n

82
\n00:04:32,480 –> 00:04:34,080
\nstrength and that energy and
\nthat power. <\/p>\n

83
\n00:04:34,080 –> 00:04:37,040
\nOne brother in the UK when I
\nonce gave that talk came up to <\/p>\n

84
\n00:04:37,040 –> 00:04:39,360
\nme afterwards and said, have you
\ngot the bottle for it? <\/p>\n

85
\n00:04:39,960 –> 00:04:43,160
\nMaybe that’s auk kind of phrase.
\nI don’t know, but but it really <\/p>\n

86
\n00:04:43,160 –> 00:04:47,040
\nstruck me to to remember the
\nchallenge week by week of <\/p>\n

87
\n00:04:47,040 –> 00:04:50,920
\nwhether the bottle of my body is
\nis flexible enough and pliable <\/p>\n

88
\n00:04:50,920 –> 00:04:54,440
\nenough and able to contain and
\nharness the power of the new <\/p>\n

89
\n00:04:54,440 –> 00:04:57,000
\nlife of the Lord Jesus Christ
\nthat he offers us. <\/p>\n

90
\n00:04:58,160 –> 00:05:01,560
\nAnd so we come this morning to
\nour session, which I’ve entitled<\/p>\n

91
\n00:05:01,560 –> 00:05:04,040
\nyou to show the Lord’s death.
\nAnd it’s taken right out of that<\/p>\n

92
\n00:05:04,040 –> 00:05:08,560
\nlast verse that Terry just read
\nfor us in one Corinthians 11 for<\/p>\n

93
\n00:05:08,560 –> 00:05:12,280
\nas often as you eat this bread
\nand drink this cup, you do show <\/p>\n

94
\n00:05:12,280 –> 00:05:17,200
\nthe Lord’s death till he come.
\nAnd this session, Brent says it <\/p>\n

95
\n00:05:17,200 –> 00:05:20,120
\nis really, really very
\npersonally special to me. <\/p>\n

96
\n00:05:20,120 –> 00:05:22,160
\nAll of them are this one
\nespecially. <\/p>\n

97
\n00:05:23,520 –> 00:05:27,280
\nAnd when I share with you why,
\nyou’ll probably laugh because <\/p>\n

98
\n00:05:28,040 –> 00:05:30,520
\neither you’ll have seen it 100
\ntimes before and think, OK, <\/p>\n

99
\n00:05:30,520 –> 00:05:33,200
\nwhat’s so special about that?
\nOr you’ll have never seen it <\/p>\n

100
\n00:05:33,200 –> 00:05:35,600
\nbefore and still think, well,
\nI’d never seen it that way, but <\/p>\n

101
\n00:05:35,600 –> 00:05:37,560
\nit’s still still what’s so
\nspecial about that? <\/p>\n

102
\n00:05:37,560 –> 00:05:39,880
\nAnd that may be the case.
\nI’m going to take that risk. <\/p>\n

103
\n00:05:40,320 –> 00:05:42,200
\nBut you know, I’m a, I’m a
\nsimple soul. <\/p>\n

104
\n00:05:42,240 –> 00:05:44,360
\nAnd, you know, brothers,
\nsisters, sometimes when you’re <\/p>\n

105
\n00:05:44,360 –> 00:05:47,000
\nreading the Bible one day and
\nsuddenly a penny drops, <\/p>\n

106
\n00:05:47,200 –> 00:05:49,600
\nsomething falls into place.
\nYou see it in a way that you’ve <\/p>\n

107
\n00:05:49,600 –> 00:05:52,720
\nnever seen it before.
\nWell, that happened to me one <\/p>\n

108
\n00:05:52,720 –> 00:05:56,320
\nday when I was thinking about
\nwhat the Apostle Paul meant in <\/p>\n

109
\n00:05:56,320 –> 00:06:01,320
\nthis verse when he said, as
\noften as you eat this bread and <\/p>\n

110
\n00:06:01,320 –> 00:06:05,360
\ndrink this cup, ye do show the
\nLord’s death till he come. <\/p>\n

111
\n00:06:05,360 –> 00:06:08,360
\nAnd I really spent a lot of time
\ntrying to work out what was it <\/p>\n

112
\n00:06:08,360 –> 00:06:11,320
\nthat the Apostle Paul meant when
\nhe, when he just wrote that one <\/p>\n

113
\n00:06:11,320 –> 00:06:14,120
\nsentence.
\nAs often as you eat this bread <\/p>\n

114
\n00:06:14,440 –> 00:06:18,440
\nand drink this cup, ye do show
\nthe Lord’s death till he come. <\/p>\n

115
\n00:06:18,440 –> 00:06:20,680
\nAnd, and the, the question I had
\nfor myself, brethren, sisters <\/p>\n

116
\n00:06:20,680 –> 00:06:23,600
\nand I, I would like you to ask
\nit for yourself this morning as <\/p>\n

117
\n00:06:23,600 –> 00:06:26,800
\nwe share this study is what does
\nthat verse mean to you? <\/p>\n

118
\n00:06:27,320 –> 00:06:30,480
\nAs often as you eat this bread
\nand drink this cup, you show the<\/p>\n

119
\n00:06:30,480 –> 00:06:34,560
\nLord’s death till he come.
\nIn what way do you show the <\/p>\n

120
\n00:06:34,560 –> 00:06:37,520
\nLord’s death?
\nBy coming week by week and <\/p>\n

121
\n00:06:37,800 –> 00:06:40,800
\neating from that loaf and
\ndrinking from that cup? <\/p>\n

122
\n00:06:41,320 –> 00:06:44,080
\nIn what way are you showing the
\nLord’s death? <\/p>\n

123
\n00:06:44,240 –> 00:06:46,840
\nIs it the act of coming?
\nMaybe that’s what it is. <\/p>\n

124
\n00:06:46,840 –> 00:06:49,520
\nDoes it mean the fact that the
\nvery fact that we simply come <\/p>\n

125
\n00:06:49,520 –> 00:06:52,560
\nand we sit together in
\nfellowship and we share it in <\/p>\n

126
\n00:06:52,560 –> 00:06:56,240
\nthose simple memorials is, is it
\nthat that’s demonstrating the <\/p>\n

127
\n00:06:56,240 –> 00:06:58,200
\nLord’s death?
\nThe very fact that we came and <\/p>\n

128
\n00:06:58,200 –> 00:07:01,640
\nsat together and did it, Is that
\nwhat Paul is getting at? <\/p>\n

129
\n00:07:01,640 –> 00:07:04,960
\nLet me tell you about the word
\nPaul uses here. <\/p>\n

130
\n00:07:04,960 –> 00:07:08,760
\nYou do show the Lord’s death.
\nTerry was reading the revised <\/p>\n

131
\n00:07:08,760 –> 00:07:11,520
\nversion, I think you proclaim
\nthe Lord’s death. <\/p>\n

132
\n00:07:12,240 –> 00:07:14,560
\nAnd the Greek word that’s used
\nthere by the apostle Paul, you <\/p>\n

133
\n00:07:14,560 –> 00:07:17,680
\ndo show or you proclaim.
\nIt’s a word you know. <\/p>\n

134
\n00:07:17,680 –> 00:07:21,920
\nWell in the New Testament, it’s
\nmost commonly translated preach.<\/p>\n

135
\n00:07:23,440 –> 00:07:26,320
\nAnd more than 10 times this word
\nis translated preach. <\/p>\n

136
\n00:07:26,320 –> 00:07:28,160
\nIt’s it’s most common
\ntranslation in the New <\/p>\n

137
\n00:07:28,160 –> 00:07:31,600
\nTestament, this Greek word, you
\npreach the Lord’s death. <\/p>\n

138
\n00:07:32,000 –> 00:07:35,120
\nThat’s interesting, isn’t it,
\nthis idea of proclamation? <\/p>\n

139
\n00:07:35,120 –> 00:07:38,400
\nI like the Dyglot’s translation.
\nIt says you announce the Lord’s <\/p>\n

140
\n00:07:38,400 –> 00:07:40,880
\ndeath, you make a declaration
\nabout it. <\/p>\n

141
\n00:07:42,160 –> 00:07:44,920
\nSo that’s interesting, isn’t it?
\nHow is it then that by coming to<\/p>\n

142
\n00:07:44,920 –> 00:07:48,400
\nmy ecclesia and you to yours, or
\nwhatever circumstance it is that<\/p>\n

143
\n00:07:48,400 –> 00:07:52,560
\nyou break bread and fellowship
\nwith with the body of Christ and<\/p>\n

144
\n00:07:52,560 –> 00:07:55,680
\nwith his believers?
\nHow is it that by coming week by<\/p>\n

145
\n00:07:55,680 –> 00:07:59,120
\nweek, you declare, you make an
\nannouncement, you it’s a word of<\/p>\n

146
\n00:07:59,120 –> 00:08:01,240
\nproclamation.
\nIt’s a it’s a method of <\/p>\n

147
\n00:08:01,240 –> 00:08:03,640
\npreaching the Lord’s death till
\nhe come. <\/p>\n

148
\n00:08:03,880 –> 00:08:05,840
\nI don’t know if you’ve ever seen
\nyour attendance at the breaking <\/p>\n

149
\n00:08:05,840 –> 00:08:08,360
\nof bread in that way.
\nIt’s one of your most finest <\/p>\n

150
\n00:08:08,360 –> 00:08:11,280
\npreaching tools.
\nMaybe it is that by the fact <\/p>\n

151
\n00:08:11,280 –> 00:08:14,320
\nthat your neighbors know that
\nyou have a routine in your life <\/p>\n

152
\n00:08:14,320 –> 00:08:16,960
\nthat you stick to rigidly.
\nMaybe that’s what it is that <\/p>\n

153
\n00:08:16,960 –> 00:08:19,440
\nproclaims the Lord’s death.
\nThe fact that you have this <\/p>\n

154
\n00:08:19,440 –> 00:08:22,920
\ncentral focus of your life week
\nby week upon which all of the <\/p>\n

155
\n00:08:22,920 –> 00:08:25,080
\nother components of your life
\nrevolves. <\/p>\n

156
\n00:08:25,080 –> 00:08:27,480
\nMaybe that’s what the Apostle
\nPaul meant, the fact that you <\/p>\n

157
\n00:08:27,480 –> 00:08:29,640
\nhave this discipline and this
\nstructure in your life. <\/p>\n

158
\n00:08:29,800 –> 00:08:31,840
\nMaybe that’s how you show the
\nLord’s death. <\/p>\n

159
\n00:08:31,840 –> 00:08:36,240
\nYou declare it, you preach it As
\noften as you eat this bread and <\/p>\n

160
\n00:08:36,240 –> 00:08:40,240
\ndrink this cup, you do, You show
\nthe Lord’s death. <\/p>\n

161
\n00:08:40,240 –> 00:08:42,440
\nYou proclaim, you preach the
\nLord’s death. <\/p>\n

162
\n00:08:44,120 –> 00:08:47,200
\nMaybe that’s what it is.
\nI had a really interesting <\/p>\n

163
\n00:08:47,200 –> 00:08:51,040
\nexperience on on my way to be
\nhere this week. <\/p>\n

164
\n00:08:51,040 –> 00:08:54,040
\nI had to explain to my
\ncolleagues where I was going. <\/p>\n

165
\n00:08:54,040 –> 00:08:57,640
\nI don’t often take 2 1\/2 weeks
\noff work at one in one go. <\/p>\n

166
\n00:08:57,720 –> 00:08:59,880
\nAnd they were, they said to me,
\nwhere are you going? <\/p>\n

167
\n00:08:59,880 –> 00:09:03,360
\nSo I began with kind of the, the
\ngeographical interest. <\/p>\n

168
\n00:09:03,360 –> 00:09:05,400
\nWell, I’m going to Newfoundland,
\nright? <\/p>\n

169
\n00:09:06,160 –> 00:09:07,560
\nNot many people been there
\nbefore. <\/p>\n

170
\n00:09:07,560 –> 00:09:09,680
\nSo bit of talk about that, well,
\nwhy are you going there then? <\/p>\n

171
\n00:09:09,680 –> 00:09:13,280
\nWhat made you choose to go to
\nNewfoundland of all places? <\/p>\n

172
\n00:09:14,880 –> 00:09:21,880
\nYou know, so, so I thought I can
\nsee a series of leading <\/p>\n

173
\n00:09:21,880 –> 00:09:23,960
\nquestions coming here.
\nSo I said, well, I’m going to <\/p>\n

174
\n00:09:23,960 –> 00:09:28,320
\nspeak at a Bible school.
\nAnd of course, you get the, the,<\/p>\n

175
\n00:09:28,400 –> 00:09:30,800
\nthe raising of the eyebrows.
\nThat’s interesting. <\/p>\n

176
\n00:09:30,800 –> 00:09:33,120
\nDidn’t know you’d be doing that.
\nAnd your holiday, Johnny. <\/p>\n

177
\n00:09:34,120 –> 00:09:37,880
\nAnd, and you can start feeling
\nthis little sense of trepidation<\/p>\n

178
\n00:09:37,880 –> 00:09:39,680
\nrising in the pit of your
\nstomach now, can’t you? <\/p>\n

179
\n00:09:39,680 –> 00:09:41,880
\nBecause the next question, of
\ncourse, is, well, what are you <\/p>\n

180
\n00:09:41,880 –> 00:09:47,280
\ngoing to be speaking about?
\nAnd so you knowing what the next<\/p>\n

181
\n00:09:47,280 –> 00:09:50,240
\nthree questions are going to be,
\nI start thinking, well, I either<\/p>\n

182
\n00:09:50,240 –> 00:09:52,120
\nkeep going here or I, I bail
\nout. <\/p>\n

183
\n00:09:52,160 –> 00:09:55,000
\nAnd I, I didn’t, I said, well,
\nI’m going to be my, my theme is <\/p>\n

184
\n00:09:55,520 –> 00:09:59,600
\nat the breaking of bread.
\nAnd I found this myself in this <\/p>\n

185
\n00:09:59,600 –> 00:10:02,680
\nreally interesting situation of
\nI’ve never had to begin <\/p>\n

186
\n00:10:02,680 –> 00:10:05,360
\nexplaining my faith to somebody
\nfrom this beginning. <\/p>\n

187
\n00:10:05,720 –> 00:10:09,360
\nI’ve started in all other kinds
\nof places, you know, prophecy, <\/p>\n

188
\n00:10:09,560 –> 00:10:14,400
\nthe, the, the nation of Israel,
\npolitics, suffering, all kinds <\/p>\n

189
\n00:10:14,400 –> 00:10:18,040
\nof other opening kind of gambits
\nfor kind of explaining your <\/p>\n

190
\n00:10:18,040 –> 00:10:19,800
\nfaith and what the word of God
\nmeans to you. <\/p>\n

191
\n00:10:20,080 –> 00:10:21,720
\nAnd I’d never started here
\nbefore. <\/p>\n

192
\n00:10:22,000 –> 00:10:24,600
\nAnd the thing that immediately
\ncame into my mind was this verse<\/p>\n

193
\n00:10:24,600 –> 00:10:27,400
\nhere in one Corinthians 11.
\nAs often as you eat this bread <\/p>\n

194
\n00:10:27,400 –> 00:10:30,800
\nand drink this cup, you declare
\nthe Lord’s death, you preach it,<\/p>\n

195
\n00:10:30,960 –> 00:10:32,680
\nyou proclaim it, you announce
\nit. <\/p>\n

196
\n00:10:33,040 –> 00:10:35,400
\nAnd I thought, well, here we go,
\nsit down, buckle up. <\/p>\n

197
\n00:10:35,680 –> 00:10:38,560
\nWe’re in for a discussion now
\nabout what the breaking of bread<\/p>\n

198
\n00:10:38,560 –> 00:10:42,680
\nmeans to me, how it changes my
\nlife, how it’s at the core of my<\/p>\n

199
\n00:10:42,680 –> 00:10:45,160
\nunderstanding of what the Lord
\nJesus Christ means to me and <\/p>\n

200
\n00:10:45,160 –> 00:10:49,080
\nwhat he’s done in my life and
\nhow my faith like pivots really <\/p>\n

201
\n00:10:49,080 –> 00:10:51,280
\naround that.
\nI’m not sure how successful it <\/p>\n

202
\n00:10:51,280 –> 00:10:53,280
\nwas.
\nMy colleagues have not yet <\/p>\n

203
\n00:10:53,280 –> 00:10:57,600
\ndeclared their desire to be
\nbaptised so, and I suspect that <\/p>\n

204
\n00:10:57,600 –> 00:11:01,160
\nmay be some way down the line.
\nBut maybe that’s what the <\/p>\n

205
\n00:11:01,160 –> 00:11:04,320
\nApostle Paul meant.
\nMaybe he wanted us to make it <\/p>\n

206
\n00:11:04,320 –> 00:11:08,840
\nthe focal part of our preaching
\nabout what this central part of <\/p>\n

207
\n00:11:08,840 –> 00:11:11,800
\nour routine of worship means in
\nour daily living. <\/p>\n

208
\n00:11:11,800 –> 00:11:15,040
\nAs often as you eat this bread
\nand drink this cup, you do it in<\/p>\n

209
\n00:11:15,040 –> 00:11:18,480
\nremembrance of me.
\nBut you can tell that by the <\/p>\n

210
\n00:11:18,480 –> 00:11:20,840
\nfact I want to speak for at
\nleast another 35 minutes. <\/p>\n

211
\n00:11:20,840 –> 00:11:23,800
\nThere’s probably a bit more to
\nit than that, or at least I <\/p>\n

212
\n00:11:23,800 –> 00:11:25,920
\nthink there is.
\nAnd and this is what I I think <\/p>\n

213
\n00:11:25,920 –> 00:11:31,720
\nit is this these are the words
\nthat we have here up on the <\/p>\n

214
\n00:11:31,720 –> 00:11:34,280
\nscreen from the apostle Paul in
\none Corinthians 11. <\/p>\n

215
\n00:11:35,160 –> 00:11:37,760
\nAs often as you eat this bread
\nand drink this cup, you show the<\/p>\n

216
\n00:11:37,760 –> 00:11:40,800
\nLord’s death, you announce it,
\nyou declare it, you proclaim it.<\/p>\n

217
\n00:11:41,520 –> 00:11:44,600
\nAnd I think the apostle Paul was
\npicking up on some words of the <\/p>\n

218
\n00:11:44,600 –> 00:11:48,400
\nLord Jesus Christ in the upper
\nroom as he shared the bread and <\/p>\n

219
\n00:11:48,400 –> 00:11:51,720
\nwine that Luke and Mark.
\nI think it is particularly <\/p>\n

220
\n00:11:51,720 –> 00:11:56,320
\nrecord very simple words, words
\nthat we probably quote most <\/p>\n

221
\n00:11:56,320 –> 00:11:59,960
\nSundays.
\nThis is my body, he said, which <\/p>\n

222
\n00:11:59,960 –> 00:12:04,320
\nis given for you this do in
\nremembrance of me. <\/p>\n

223
\n00:12:05,440 –> 00:12:09,360
\nAnd when I just kept rolling
\naround that that verse from Luke<\/p>\n

224
\n00:12:09,360 –> 00:12:12,960
\n22 in my mind, I started to
\nrealise that I’d been reading it<\/p>\n

225
\n00:12:12,960 –> 00:12:17,960
\nwrong for most of my life.
\nThis bread is my body which is <\/p>\n

226
\n00:12:17,960 –> 00:12:20,960
\ngiven for you, this do in
\nremembrance of me. <\/p>\n

227
\n00:12:20,960 –> 00:12:23,600
\nAnd I want to really just dwell
\non that, that one statement, <\/p>\n

228
\n00:12:24,200 –> 00:12:26,680
\nthis, this is my body which is
\ngiven for you, this deal in <\/p>\n

229
\n00:12:26,680 –> 00:12:28,520
\nremembrance of me.
\nWhat do you think the Lord Jesus<\/p>\n

230
\n00:12:28,520 –> 00:12:30,680
\nmeant?
\nBecause this, this is the verse,<\/p>\n

231
\n00:12:30,840 –> 00:12:32,720
\nthis is these are the words I
\nthink the Apostle Paul is <\/p>\n

232
\n00:12:32,720 –> 00:12:34,720
\nreferring to.
\nAs often as you eat this bread <\/p>\n

233
\n00:12:34,720 –> 00:12:36,560
\nand drink this cup, you show the
\nLords death. <\/p>\n

234
\n00:12:36,720 –> 00:12:40,120
\nThere is an action that comes
\nout of coming to the breaking of<\/p>\n

235
\n00:12:40,120 –> 00:12:42,600
\nbread service.
\nThere is something that we need <\/p>\n

236
\n00:12:42,600 –> 00:12:46,120
\nto do all right.
\nThis is the word do right here <\/p>\n

237
\n00:12:46,120 –> 00:12:48,560
\nin in Luke’s gospel.
\nThis is my body which is given <\/p>\n

238
\n00:12:48,560 –> 00:12:50,920
\nfor you this do in remembrance
\nof me. <\/p>\n

239
\n00:12:51,120 –> 00:12:54,680
\nWe have to do something.
\nThere is an active participative<\/p>\n

240
\n00:12:54,960 –> 00:12:58,840
\nelement to to coming and leaving
\nfrom the breaking of bread <\/p>\n

241
\n00:12:58,840 –> 00:13:00,080
\nservice.
\nThat’s what the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n

242
\n00:13:00,080 –> 00:13:02,800
\nsaying and it’s that word do
\nthat kind of jumped out of the <\/p>\n

243
\n00:13:02,800 –> 00:13:05,960
\npage and hit me in the face in a
\nway that it had never hit me in <\/p>\n

244
\n00:13:05,960 –> 00:13:09,720
\nthe face before.
\nAll right, this do what is the <\/p>\n

245
\n00:13:09,720 –> 00:13:12,280
\ndo that the Lord Jesus was
\nreferring to? <\/p>\n

246
\n00:13:12,680 –> 00:13:14,800
\nThis this is my body which is
\ngiven for you. <\/p>\n

247
\n00:13:14,960 –> 00:13:18,640
\nThis do in remembrance of me.
\nWhat is the do bit that the Lord<\/p>\n

248
\n00:13:18,680 –> 00:13:21,280
\nJesus was referring to?
\nWhat is it that he wanted us to <\/p>\n

249
\n00:13:21,280 –> 00:13:23,160
\ndo?
\nAnd I’m going to make a personal<\/p>\n

250
\n00:13:23,160 –> 00:13:25,280
\nconfession to you, Brent, since
\nI made one yesterday. <\/p>\n

251
\n00:13:25,440 –> 00:13:28,880
\nHere’s today’s when I was young
\nin the truth, I used to come to <\/p>\n

252
\n00:13:28,880 –> 00:13:31,160
\nthe breaking of bread and think
\nthat what the Lord Jesus meant <\/p>\n

253
\n00:13:31,160 –> 00:13:34,280
\nby that was come and take a
\npiece of the bread. <\/p>\n

254
\n00:13:34,520 –> 00:13:39,240
\nSit it, sit down, eat it and
\nyou’ve done your peace. <\/p>\n

255
\n00:13:40,000 –> 00:13:42,280
\nThis bread is my body which is
\ngiven for you. <\/p>\n

256
\n00:13:42,640 –> 00:13:46,200
\nThis do in remembrance of me and
\nthe doing that I thought the <\/p>\n

257
\n00:13:46,200 –> 00:13:52,600
\nLord Jesus was referring to was
\ncoming, sitting, eating and I <\/p>\n

258
\n00:13:52,600 –> 00:13:54,520
\nsuddenly realised Brent sisters,
\none day and this is the point <\/p>\n

259
\n00:13:54,520 –> 00:13:57,640
\nwhere you’ll be smiling because
\nyou’ve been here probably 30-4 <\/p>\n

260
\n00:13:57,640 –> 00:14:01,000
\nyears ahead of me.
\nThe the thing that hit me in the<\/p>\n

261
\n00:14:01,000 –> 00:14:02,920
\nface, Brent sister, was I
\nrealised that I’d I’d been <\/p>\n

262
\n00:14:02,960 –> 00:14:05,480
\nreading that verse wrong.
\nLet me break it down and take it<\/p>\n

263
\n00:14:05,480 –> 00:14:07,160
\nmore slowly.
\nIf you haven’t seen it before, <\/p>\n

264
\n00:14:08,160 –> 00:14:11,680
\nJesus was taking the bread from
\nthe plate, from the table in <\/p>\n

265
\n00:14:11,680 –> 00:14:15,000
\nfront of them, and he blessed it
\nand he broke it and he said, <\/p>\n

266
\n00:14:15,560 –> 00:14:19,840
\nthis is my body.
\nThis bread I want you to see is <\/p>\n

267
\n00:14:19,840 –> 00:14:27,640
\na representation of my body.
\nAnd I have given this body for <\/p>\n

268
\n00:14:27,640 –> 00:14:30,800
\nyou, not the bread.
\nHe’s not making a reference to <\/p>\n

269
\n00:14:30,800 –> 00:14:32,840
\nthe bread, is he?
\nHe’s talking about his body. <\/p>\n

270
\n00:14:33,120 –> 00:14:36,480
\nThis bread is a representation
\nof my body, and I have given <\/p>\n

271
\n00:14:36,480 –> 00:14:41,160
\nthat body for you.
\nThis do in remembrance of me. <\/p>\n

272
\n00:14:41,360 –> 00:14:45,000
\nThat’s what I want you to do.
\nI don’t want you to just take <\/p>\n

273
\n00:14:45,000 –> 00:14:47,280
\nthis bread and eat it and go
\nyour way. <\/p>\n

274
\n00:14:47,520 –> 00:14:50,200
\nI want you to take on board the
\nsymbol that it represents, and <\/p>\n

275
\n00:14:50,200 –> 00:14:52,680
\nthat’s what I want you to do in
\nremembrance of me. <\/p>\n

276
\n00:14:52,960 –> 00:14:55,800
\nThis bread is my body, which I
\nhave given. <\/p>\n

277
\n00:14:56,160 –> 00:14:59,240
\nNow I want you to do the same.
\nI don’t want you to just sit <\/p>\n

278
\n00:14:59,240 –> 00:15:02,400
\nhere and eat a piece of bread.
\nI want you to take your bodies <\/p>\n

279
\n00:15:02,640 –> 00:15:05,680
\nand give them in service as I
\nhave given mine. <\/p>\n

280
\n00:15:05,920 –> 00:15:08,640
\nThat’s the do that the Lord
\nJesus Christ was talking about. <\/p>\n

281
\n00:15:08,840 –> 00:15:11,280
\nThis bread is my body which I
\nhave given for you. <\/p>\n

282
\n00:15:11,680 –> 00:15:16,240
\nThis do in remembrance of me.
\nGive your bodies in service as I<\/p>\n

283
\n00:15:16,240 –> 00:15:18,920
\nhave given mine.
\nThat’s brothers and sisters, <\/p>\n

284
\n00:15:18,920 –> 00:15:21,200
\nwhat hit me in the face.
\nMaybe you’ve seen it a million <\/p>\n

285
\n00:15:21,200 –> 00:15:22,480
\ntimes.
\nMaybe you’ve never seen it <\/p>\n

286
\n00:15:22,480 –> 00:15:24,520
\nbefore.
\nJust when you just really think <\/p>\n

287
\n00:15:24,520 –> 00:15:27,480
\nslowly and carefully about what
\nit was the Lord Jesus was <\/p>\n

288
\n00:15:27,480 –> 00:15:31,160
\nchallenging us to do, He was
\nchallenging us to do what He has<\/p>\n

289
\n00:15:31,160 –> 00:15:34,120
\ndone.
\nThis is my body which I’ve given<\/p>\n

290
\n00:15:34,120 –> 00:15:39,320
\nin service for 33 1\/2 years of
\nmy life, in service and in as in<\/p>\n

291
\n00:15:39,320 –> 00:15:43,080
\nthe most finest obedience I
\ncould muster for the sake of my <\/p>\n

292
\n00:15:43,080 –> 00:15:44,400
\nFather.
\nAnd this bread is a <\/p>\n

293
\n00:15:44,400 –> 00:15:47,280
\nrepresentation of that.
\nAnd week by week, when you come <\/p>\n

294
\n00:15:47,280 –> 00:15:50,520
\ntogether and you eat it and you
\nshare it, that’s what I want you<\/p>\n

295
\n00:15:50,520 –> 00:15:55,200
\nto do in remembrance of me.
\nAnd that suddenly changed the <\/p>\n

296
\n00:15:55,200 –> 00:15:58,120
\nwhole way in which I came to the
\nmeeting on a Sunday. <\/p>\n

297
\n00:15:58,440 –> 00:16:00,800
\nSuddenly it wasn’t just that
\nJesus wanted me to come and eat <\/p>\n

298
\n00:16:00,800 –> 00:16:03,480
\na piece of bread.
\nThat wasn’t the doing that he <\/p>\n

299
\n00:16:03,480 –> 00:16:07,960
\nwanted me to do.
\nHe wanted me to be moved and <\/p>\n

300
\n00:16:07,960 –> 00:16:11,560
\ntouched by the symbol.
\nThis bread is my body which I <\/p>\n

301
\n00:16:11,560 –> 00:16:17,040
\nhave given for you.
\nThis do in remembrance of me. <\/p>\n

302
\n00:16:17,040 –> 00:16:21,880
\nIf you really want to Remember
\nMe Brother Johnny, don’t just <\/p>\n

303
\n00:16:21,880 –> 00:16:26,840
\ncome and eat a piece of bread.
\nDo what I have done for you in <\/p>\n

304
\n00:16:26,840 –> 00:16:31,920
\nremembrance of me.
\nGive your body in service as I <\/p>\n

305
\n00:16:31,920 –> 00:16:36,000
\nhave given mine for you.
\nThis do in remembrance of me. <\/p>\n

306
\n00:16:36,440 –> 00:16:38,280
\nI’m sorry if I’m labouring the
\npoint where this says just <\/p>\n

307
\n00:16:38,280 –> 00:16:41,320
\nhumour me because that that was
\na day that changed my life. <\/p>\n

308
\n00:16:41,320 –> 00:16:44,680
\nI remember the day all those
\npennies dropped in my mind for <\/p>\n

309
\n00:16:44,680 –> 00:16:47,040
\nme.
\nThat’s how I that’s how I began <\/p>\n

310
\n00:16:47,040 –> 00:16:49,680
\nto read that verse, this do in
\nremembrance of me and that <\/p>\n

311
\n00:16:49,680 –> 00:16:51,680
\nturned that turned my life
\ninside out. <\/p>\n

312
\n00:16:52,440 –> 00:16:56,000
\nThat really challenged the way I
\ncame to my ecclesia week by week<\/p>\n

313
\n00:16:56,000 –> 00:17:01,120
\nand what I saw in that bread and
\nhow it challenged me to take the<\/p>\n

314
\n00:17:01,120 –> 00:17:04,119
\nissues of it away in my life.
\nIt’s a challenge to our daily <\/p>\n

315
\n00:17:04,119 –> 00:17:07,880
\nliving to be motivated,
\ninfluenced in the way in which <\/p>\n

316
\n00:17:07,880 –> 00:17:11,280
\nwe give our bodies in service
\nfor the Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n

317
\n00:17:11,280 –> 00:17:14,280
\nThis do in remembrance of me.
\nIf you really want to Remember <\/p>\n

318
\n00:17:14,280 –> 00:17:17,920
\nMe and honour my memory and all
\nthat I have done for you, then <\/p>\n

319
\n00:17:17,920 –> 00:17:21,079
\nyou need to do likewise.
\nIn remembrance of me. <\/p>\n

320
\n00:17:21,880 –> 00:17:23,800
\nI want to take you into John’s
\ngospel again. <\/p>\n

321
\n00:17:23,800 –> 00:17:27,920
\nWe did this a little bit on on
\nSunday and we were remarking <\/p>\n

322
\n00:17:27,920 –> 00:17:31,120
\nyesterday at how extraordinary
\nit is in a way that the the <\/p>\n

323
\n00:17:31,120 –> 00:17:34,640
\ngospel writer who spends most of
\nhis time in the upper room, 4 <\/p>\n

324
\n00:17:34,640 –> 00:17:38,000
\nchapters of his gospel sitting
\nright there with the disciples <\/p>\n

325
\n00:17:38,000 –> 00:17:40,920
\nin the upper room, doesn’t seem
\nto actually use these words that<\/p>\n

326
\n00:17:40,920 –> 00:17:44,040
\nthe other gospel writers do.
\nThis bread is my body which is <\/p>\n

327
\n00:17:44,040 –> 00:17:45,960
\ngiven for you.
\nThis cup is the new covenant in <\/p>\n

328
\n00:17:45,960 –> 00:17:49,160
\nmy blood which is poured out for
\nyou, this new in remembrance of <\/p>\n

329
\n00:17:49,160 –> 00:17:51,360
\nme.
\nAnd yet what when I reread <\/p>\n

330
\n00:17:51,360 –> 00:17:54,120
\nBrethren Sisters those chapters,
\nI suddenly realised that John <\/p>\n

331
\n00:17:54,120 –> 00:17:57,120
\ndoes use all those words.
\nIn fact, he uses them in much <\/p>\n

332
\n00:17:57,120 –> 00:17:59,960
\ngreater detail as we were
\nlooking at briefly yesterday by <\/p>\n

333
\n00:18:00,320 –> 00:18:03,080
\nby the the feeding of the 5000
\nand the wedding at Cana. <\/p>\n

334
\n00:18:03,080 –> 00:18:06,080
\nHe went into so much more detail
\nthan the others about the <\/p>\n

335
\n00:18:06,080 –> 00:18:08,680
\nsymbols of bread and wine.
\nAnd right there in the upper <\/p>\n

336
\n00:18:08,680 –> 00:18:11,600
\nroom, Brent says when you
\nactually begin to dissect the <\/p>\n

337
\n00:18:11,600 –> 00:18:14,640
\nwords that the Lord Jesus Christ
\nused that are recorded in John’s<\/p>\n

338
\n00:18:14,640 –> 00:18:18,240
\nGospel, you will discover that
\nthe essence of this principle. <\/p>\n

339
\n00:18:18,640 –> 00:18:20,720
\nThis is my body which is given
\nfor you. <\/p>\n

340
\n00:18:20,800 –> 00:18:25,240
\nThis do in remembrance of me is
\nright there, right there in <\/p>\n

341
\n00:18:25,240 –> 00:18:27,520
\nJohn’s explanation of the of the
\nLast Supper. <\/p>\n

342
\n00:18:27,520 –> 00:18:31,120
\nLet me give you an example.
\nHere’s our words in Luke 22. <\/p>\n

343
\n00:18:31,720 –> 00:18:33,280
\nThis is my body which is given
\nfor you. <\/p>\n

344
\n00:18:33,320 –> 00:18:35,720
\nThis do in remembrance of me.
\nNow let me give you some <\/p>\n

345
\n00:18:35,720 –> 00:18:38,000
\nexamples.
\nJust some little extracts from <\/p>\n

346
\n00:18:38,000 –> 00:18:40,200
\nJohn’s gospel in the upper room.
\nHave a look at this. <\/p>\n

347
\n00:18:41,120 –> 00:18:44,520
\nHe rose from supper and began to
\nwash the disciples feet. <\/p>\n

348
\n00:18:45,680 –> 00:18:50,200
\nIf I, your Lord and Master, have
\nwashed your feet, you also ought<\/p>\n

349
\n00:18:50,200 –> 00:18:53,760
\nto wash one another’s feet.
\nFor I have given you an example <\/p>\n

350
\n00:18:54,040 –> 00:18:57,920
\nthat you should do as I have
\ndone to you. <\/p>\n

351
\n00:18:58,400 –> 00:19:02,000
\nCan you see the echo there in in
\nJohn’s explanation, instead of <\/p>\n

352
\n00:19:02,000 –> 00:19:04,720
\njust condensing it down into
\nthat one statement that Luke has<\/p>\n

353
\n00:19:04,720 –> 00:19:06,680
\ndone and that the apostle Paul
\nhas done? <\/p>\n

354
\n00:19:06,880 –> 00:19:09,480
\nAs often as you eat this bread
\nand drink this cup, you proclaim<\/p>\n

355
\n00:19:09,480 –> 00:19:11,840
\nthe Lord’s death, You make an
\nannouncement, you make a <\/p>\n

356
\n00:19:11,840 –> 00:19:14,520
\ndeclaration.
\nAll of a sudden John’s expanded <\/p>\n

357
\n00:19:14,520 –> 00:19:18,520
\nit out and it and and we now
\nunderstand why Luke said this <\/p>\n

358
\n00:19:18,520 –> 00:19:22,080
\nsimple statement based on this
\nlong discourse here in in John <\/p>\n

359
\n00:19:22,080 –> 00:19:25,480
\n13 and 14, Jesus says, I’m going
\nto give you an example of what <\/p>\n

360
\n00:19:25,480 –> 00:19:28,360
\nthis bread represents.
\nThis is my body which I have <\/p>\n

361
\n00:19:28,360 –> 00:19:30,560
\nlaid down and given in service
\nto you. <\/p>\n

362
\n00:19:30,920 –> 00:19:34,920
\nAnd if I’ve washed your feet as
\nan example of what that means in<\/p>\n

363
\n00:19:34,920 –> 00:19:38,360
\nin as a living practical
\nexample, then you ought to be <\/p>\n

364
\n00:19:38,360 –> 00:19:41,280
\nable to do that as well.
\nIf I, your Lord and Master, can <\/p>\n

365
\n00:19:41,280 –> 00:19:45,720
\nwash your feet, then if you want
\nto do something in memory of me,<\/p>\n

366
\n00:19:46,080 –> 00:19:48,720
\nif you want to come and take
\nthis bread which has symbolised <\/p>\n

367
\n00:19:48,720 –> 00:19:53,480
\nmy, my body of service, in
\nremembrance of Me, then you <\/p>\n

368
\n00:19:53,480 –> 00:19:56,840
\nought to be washing one
\nanother’s feet and be doing as I<\/p>\n

369
\n00:19:56,840 –> 00:19:59,560
\nhave done for you.
\nDoes that make sense? <\/p>\n

370
\n00:20:01,280 –> 00:20:03,680
\nLet’s look at another one.
\nJesus took the bread and blessed<\/p>\n

371
\n00:20:03,680 –> 00:20:05,600
\nit and break it and gave it to
\nthe disciples. <\/p>\n

372
\n00:20:06,000 –> 00:20:09,320
\nTake, eat.
\nThis is my body which I have <\/p>\n

373
\n00:20:09,320 –> 00:20:12,400
\ngiven for you.
\nHere’s one from John 15, and you<\/p>\n

374
\n00:20:12,400 –> 00:20:14,840
\nknow these words so well.
\nI just want you to put them in <\/p>\n

375
\n00:20:14,840 –> 00:20:17,160
\nthis context of these verses in
\nthe upper room. <\/p>\n

376
\n00:20:17,640 –> 00:20:21,800
\nThis is my commandment, that you
\nlove one another as I have loved<\/p>\n

377
\n00:20:21,800 –> 00:20:23,400
\nyou.
\nThat’s one of the most <\/p>\n

378
\n00:20:23,400 –> 00:20:25,440
\nchallenging things, for
\ninstance, that the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n

379
\n00:20:25,720 –> 00:20:27,640
\never said.
\nIt seems to me in the record of <\/p>\n

380
\n00:20:27,640 –> 00:20:30,560
\nScripture.
\nThis is a new commandment, that <\/p>\n

381
\n00:20:30,560 –> 00:20:32,920
\nyou love one another as I have
\nloved you. <\/p>\n

382
\n00:20:33,160 –> 00:20:34,560
\nThe old commandment was
\ndifferent. <\/p>\n

383
\n00:20:34,560 –> 00:20:38,560
\nDo you remember under the law it
\nwas love one another as you <\/p>\n

384
\n00:20:38,560 –> 00:20:41,640
\nwould love yourself, do unto
\nothers as you would have done <\/p>\n

385
\n00:20:41,640 –> 00:20:43,920
\nunto you.
\nAnd that standard is a little <\/p>\n

386
\n00:20:43,920 –> 00:20:45,880
\nbit easier, isn’t it?
\nBecause we all have that <\/p>\n

387
\n00:20:45,880 –> 00:20:48,520
\nstandard of how we want other
\npeople to treat us in life. <\/p>\n

388
\n00:20:48,640 –> 00:20:50,760
\nThat’s very variable amongst all
\nof us. <\/p>\n

389
\n00:20:51,120 –> 00:20:54,400
\nAnd we know that we want to
\ntreat others if we can based on <\/p>\n

390
\n00:20:54,400 –> 00:20:57,160
\nhow we expect to be treated.
\nNow Jesus says, I’m going to <\/p>\n

391
\n00:20:57,160 –> 00:20:59,600
\ntake that standard just right
\nup, up a level. <\/p>\n

392
\n00:21:00,080 –> 00:21:02,440
\nNow I don’t want you to base
\nyour standard of how you treat <\/p>\n

393
\n00:21:02,440 –> 00:21:04,320
\none another on how you want to
\nbe treated. <\/p>\n

394
\n00:21:05,520 –> 00:21:08,560
\nI want you to base that standard
\non how I have treated you. <\/p>\n

395
\n00:21:09,480 –> 00:21:12,240
\nGreater love has no man than
\nthis, that a man lay down his <\/p>\n

396
\n00:21:12,240 –> 00:21:15,720
\nlife for his friends.
\nThis bread is my body. <\/p>\n

397
\n00:21:16,360 –> 00:21:18,840
\nGreater love hath no man than
\nthis, that a man lay down his <\/p>\n

398
\n00:21:18,840 –> 00:21:22,240
\nlife for his friends.
\nThis cup is my blood which I’ve <\/p>\n

399
\n00:21:22,240 –> 00:21:24,960
\npoured out.
\nGreater love hath no man than <\/p>\n

400
\n00:21:24,960 –> 00:21:27,080
\nthis, that he would lay down his
\nlife for my friends. <\/p>\n

401
\n00:21:27,080 –> 00:21:31,720
\nYou are my friends if you do
\nwhatsoever I command you. <\/p>\n

402
\n00:21:32,120 –> 00:21:35,680
\nNot if you come and sit week by
\nweek and just eat a morsel of <\/p>\n

403
\n00:21:35,680 –> 00:21:37,560
\nbread and take a sip from the
\ncup. <\/p>\n

404
\n00:21:39,880 –> 00:21:44,680
\nYou will do it in remembrance of
\nme if you do as I have done for <\/p>\n

405
\n00:21:44,680 –> 00:21:49,200
\nyou, If you try and elevate your
\nliving and the standards by <\/p>\n

406
\n00:21:49,200 –> 00:21:51,960
\nwhich you will treat one another
\nand the way in which you will <\/p>\n

407
\n00:21:51,960 –> 00:21:56,000
\ngive your lives in service.
\nIf you do as I have done for <\/p>\n

408
\n00:21:56,000 –> 00:21:58,400
\nyou.
\nThat’s a challenging that’s a <\/p>\n

409
\n00:21:58,400 –> 00:22:02,040
\nvibrant way, isn’t it, Brent
\nSisters, to see the bread and <\/p>\n

410
\n00:22:02,040 –> 00:22:04,440
\nthe wine week by week.
\nIf you really want to <\/p>\n

411
\n00:22:04,440 –> 00:22:07,960
\ndemonstrate to make a
\ndeclaration, an announcement <\/p>\n

412
\n00:22:07,960 –> 00:22:12,480
\nsays the apostle Paul about what
\nthe Lord has done for you, then <\/p>\n

413
\n00:22:12,480 –> 00:22:14,440
\ndon’t just come and sit in the
\nmeeting week by week. <\/p>\n

414
\n00:22:15,040 –> 00:22:17,920
\nTake these symbols and make them
\na reality in your in your daily <\/p>\n

415
\n00:22:17,920 –> 00:22:21,640
\nliving.
\nHe took the cup and gave thanks <\/p>\n

416
\n00:22:21,640 –> 00:22:23,680
\nand gave it to them saying drink
\nall of it. <\/p>\n

417
\n00:22:25,240 –> 00:22:27,400
\nI used to smile at that when I
\nwas a little boy watching my mum<\/p>\n

418
\n00:22:27,400 –> 00:22:30,760
\nand dad drink drink the wine on
\na Sunday, always marvelling that<\/p>\n

419
\n00:22:30,760 –> 00:22:33,160
\nthey always left the cup half
\nfull. <\/p>\n

420
\n00:22:33,640 –> 00:22:36,160
\nDrink all of it.
\nAnd of course it doesn’t just <\/p>\n

421
\n00:22:36,160 –> 00:22:38,600
\nmean empty the cup, it means
\ndrink. <\/p>\n

422
\n00:22:38,720 –> 00:22:41,800
\nDrink it in its fullness of what
\nit’s supposed to mean to you and<\/p>\n

423
\n00:22:41,800 –> 00:22:44,240
\nsignify to you.
\nThis is my blood of the New <\/p>\n

424
\n00:22:44,240 –> 00:22:46,520
\nTestament, shed for many for the
\nremission of sins. <\/p>\n

425
\n00:22:46,520 –> 00:22:49,480
\nAnd notice how John translates
\nthat simple statement. <\/p>\n

426
\n00:22:49,680 –> 00:22:52,160
\nA new commandment I’ve given to
\nyou, that you love one another <\/p>\n

427
\n00:22:52,160 –> 00:22:54,760
\nas I have loved you.
\nBy this will all men know that <\/p>\n

428
\n00:22:54,760 –> 00:22:57,720
\nyou are my disciples.
\nIf you have loved one for <\/p>\n

429
\n00:22:57,720 –> 00:22:59,040
\nanother.
\nThat’s what the apostle meant <\/p>\n

430
\n00:22:59,040 –> 00:23:01,200
\nthere in one Corinthians 11,
\nisn’t it? <\/p>\n

431
\n00:23:01,200 –> 00:23:03,920
\nAs often as you eat this bread
\nand drink this cup, you declare <\/p>\n

432
\n00:23:03,920 –> 00:23:06,400
\nthe Lord’s death.
\nYou make a a statement, an <\/p>\n

433
\n00:23:06,400 –> 00:23:08,880
\nannouncement.
\nBy this all men will know that <\/p>\n

434
\n00:23:08,880 –> 00:23:14,160
\nyou are my disciples if you have
\nlove one to another as I have <\/p>\n

435
\n00:23:14,160 –> 00:23:18,400
\nloved you.
\nThat’s the declaration we make, <\/p>\n

436
\n00:23:18,400 –> 00:23:22,040
\nBren sisters, that’s the
\nannouncement that we make when <\/p>\n

437
\n00:23:22,040 –> 00:23:25,000
\nwe declare the Lord’s death.
\nAs often as we eat this bread <\/p>\n

438
\n00:23:25,000 –> 00:23:26,800
\nand drink this cup.
\nAnd suddenly I realised that <\/p>\n

439
\n00:23:26,800 –> 00:23:29,520
\nwhat the apostle Paul was saying
\nwas he doesn’t mean, you know, <\/p>\n

440
\n00:23:29,680 –> 00:23:33,160
\n52 Sundays, 52 times you
\nactually make a declaration <\/p>\n

441
\n00:23:33,160 –> 00:23:36,040
\nabout the the Lord’s death.
\nHe means as often as you eat <\/p>\n

442
\n00:23:36,040 –> 00:23:40,840
\nthis bread, as in loving one
\nanother and giving your bodies <\/p>\n

443
\n00:23:40,840 –> 00:23:44,040
\nin service.
\nAs often as you drink this cup. <\/p>\n

444
\n00:23:44,040 –> 00:23:45,560
\nHe doesn’t mean tasting the
\nwine. <\/p>\n

445
\n00:23:46,200 –> 00:23:50,960
\nHe means as often as you pour
\nout your lives in service. <\/p>\n

446
\n00:23:52,480 –> 00:23:55,720
\nThat’s how you declare you make
\nan announcement about the Lord’s<\/p>\n

447
\n00:23:56,040 –> 00:23:58,800
\ndeath.
\nBy this all men will know last <\/p>\n

448
\n00:23:58,800 –> 00:24:01,360
\none.
\nFor as often as you eat this <\/p>\n

449
\n00:24:01,360 –> 00:24:04,080
\nbread and drink this cup, you do
\nshow the Lord’s death. <\/p>\n

450
\n00:24:04,080 –> 00:24:06,320
\nAnd how does John keep that
\nmoving? <\/p>\n

451
\n00:24:06,320 –> 00:24:10,880
\nIf a man love me, he will keep
\nmy words. <\/p>\n

452
\n00:24:11,080 –> 00:24:15,320
\nIf he really loves me, if he
\nreally wants to Remember Me, <\/p>\n

453
\n00:24:16,240 –> 00:24:20,440
\nthere will be an action that
\nleaves the meeting room on a <\/p>\n

454
\n00:24:20,440 –> 00:24:22,320
\nSunday morning or whenever it
\nmight be. <\/p>\n

455
\n00:24:24,320 –> 00:24:27,040
\nIf a man really loves me, if he
\nreally wants to Remember Me in <\/p>\n

456
\n00:24:27,080 –> 00:24:31,720
\nhonour, in his life or her life,
\nwhat I have done for him or her,<\/p>\n

457
\n00:24:32,240 –> 00:24:36,960
\nthen he will keep my words.
\nYou are my friends, if you do <\/p>\n

458
\n00:24:36,960 –> 00:24:38,640
\nwhatsoever I command you.
\nAnd I’ve just taken some <\/p>\n

459
\n00:24:38,640 –> 00:24:42,720
\nsnippets there that you know so
\nwell from John 13 through John <\/p>\n

460
\n00:24:42,720 –> 00:24:45,840
\n16.
\nBut do you see how John, instead<\/p>\n

461
\n00:24:45,840 –> 00:24:49,120
\nof just condensing it down into
\none or two verses, gives us the <\/p>\n

462
\n00:24:49,120 –> 00:24:53,040
\nliving, practical understanding
\nof what those verses mean? <\/p>\n

463
\n00:24:54,240 –> 00:24:58,720
\nAs often as you eat this bread
\nand drink this cup, you declare <\/p>\n

464
\n00:24:58,760 –> 00:25:02,600
\nthe Lord’s death.
\nTo have really eaten the bread <\/p>\n

465
\n00:25:02,600 –> 00:25:05,360
\nis to have put our bodies into
\nthe service of Christ. <\/p>\n

466
\n00:25:06,400 –> 00:25:08,880
\nTo have really drunk from his
\ncup is to have poured out our <\/p>\n

467
\n00:25:08,880 –> 00:25:13,200
\nlives for his sake.
\nAnd you know, brother, this is <\/p>\n

468
\n00:25:13,200 –> 00:25:16,560
\neven in that upper room as the
\nLord took those two symbols. <\/p>\n

469
\n00:25:16,560 –> 00:25:20,960
\nIt seems to me we have even in
\nthe, even in the, the very <\/p>\n

470
\n00:25:20,960 –> 00:25:23,200
\nthings that the Lord was doing,
\nWe have some of the finest <\/p>\n

471
\n00:25:23,200 –> 00:25:26,360
\nexamples of what he meant that
\nhe could have ever given to us <\/p>\n

472
\n00:25:29,000 –> 00:25:33,720
\nbecause as he took the bread and
\nas he took the wine, he prayed <\/p>\n

473
\n00:25:33,760 –> 00:25:36,880
\ntwice.
\nJust just think about this and <\/p>\n

474
\n00:25:36,920 –> 00:25:38,400
\nI’m going to really try and take
\nthis slowly. <\/p>\n

475
\n00:25:38,400 –> 00:25:40,360
\nI know I’m going to run out of
\ntime, but I really want to. <\/p>\n

476
\n00:25:40,680 –> 00:25:44,680
\nThis is the slowest bit if I can
\nmake myself do it twice. <\/p>\n

477
\n00:25:44,680 –> 00:25:47,720
\nThe Lord went in prayer in the
\nupper room and one of the most <\/p>\n

478
\n00:25:47,720 –> 00:25:51,680
\nfrustrating things of my life
\nuntil I meet him one day will be<\/p>\n

479
\n00:25:51,680 –> 00:25:55,240
\nthat we don’t have the words of
\nthose prayers right. <\/p>\n

480
\n00:25:55,920 –> 00:26:02,280
\nBut we’re told this, that the
\nLord Jesus took bread and gave <\/p>\n

481
\n00:26:02,280 –> 00:26:07,160
\nthanks and he broke it and said
\nthis is my body which is given <\/p>\n

482
\n00:26:07,160 –> 00:26:09,600
\nfor you.
\nCan you just imagine for a <\/p>\n

483
\n00:26:09,600 –> 00:26:11,120
\nmoment?
\nI know it’s hypothetical, Brent <\/p>\n

484
\n00:26:11,120 –> 00:26:13,880
\nsisters, because and this side
\nof the Kingdom will never know <\/p>\n

485
\n00:26:13,880 –> 00:26:17,200
\nexactly what the Lord said, but
\njust try and imagine for a <\/p>\n

486
\n00:26:17,200 –> 00:26:19,960
\nmoment what the content of that
\nprayer might have been. <\/p>\n

487
\n00:26:20,480 –> 00:26:23,440
\nBrethren, when you have to pray
\non a Sunday, you’re asked to <\/p>\n

488
\n00:26:23,440 –> 00:26:27,080
\npray for the memorial emblems.
\nTry and think about what this <\/p>\n

489
\n00:26:27,080 –> 00:26:28,920
\nprayer of the Lord might have
\nbeen. <\/p>\n

490
\n00:26:30,320 –> 00:26:33,400
\nAll we’re told is that it was a
\nprayer of thanks. <\/p>\n

491
\n00:26:34,360 –> 00:26:36,640
\nBut when I actually stopped to
\nthink about that, it just sent a<\/p>\n

492
\n00:26:36,840 –> 00:26:41,080
\nshiver down my spine because I
\nguess, and I might be wrong and <\/p>\n

493
\n00:26:41,080 –> 00:26:43,600
\nI, I’d love to discuss it with
\nyou if you’ve got a view. <\/p>\n

494
\n00:26:44,080 –> 00:26:46,680
\nMy guess is that the Lord’s
\nprayer of thankfulness wasn’t <\/p>\n

495
\n00:26:46,680 –> 00:26:49,320
\nfor the actual bread on the
\nplate. <\/p>\n

496
\n00:26:50,120 –> 00:26:52,400
\nThank you for giving us this
\nloaf of bread that we can now <\/p>\n

497
\n00:26:52,400 –> 00:26:54,520
\nshare.
\nIt may, it may have been that. <\/p>\n

498
\n00:26:54,520 –> 00:26:57,400
\nI’m just saying personally for
\nme, I’m guessing it was more <\/p>\n

499
\n00:26:57,400 –> 00:27:00,560
\nthan that because the words are
\nshe just took bread and gave <\/p>\n

500
\n00:27:00,560 –> 00:27:03,240
\nthanks and he and he’d break it.
\nAnd he said to the disciples, <\/p>\n

501
\n00:27:03,240 –> 00:27:06,600
\nthis is my body.
\nThat’s what it is. <\/p>\n

502
\n00:27:07,440 –> 00:27:09,440
\nIt’s my body which is given for
\nyou. <\/p>\n

503
\n00:27:09,920 –> 00:27:11,840
\nAnd it was a prayer of
\nthankfulness. <\/p>\n

504
\n00:27:13,760 –> 00:27:16,640
\nCan you imagine that bread and
\nsisters, father? <\/p>\n

505
\n00:27:16,640 –> 00:27:19,520
\nAnd I know I don’t want to be
\nflippant bread and sisters by <\/p>\n

506
\n00:27:19,520 –> 00:27:21,640
\ntrying to imagine what the
\nprayer of the Lord might have <\/p>\n

507
\n00:27:21,640 –> 00:27:25,160
\nbeen, but just just for the
\npurpose of our our class this <\/p>\n

508
\n00:27:25,160 –> 00:27:28,080
\nmorning.
\nFather, I thank you for giving <\/p>\n

509
\n00:27:28,440 –> 00:27:33,640
\nme this body that I have desired
\nto put into service for your <\/p>\n

510
\n00:27:33,640 –> 00:27:36,400
\nsake.
\nAnd I thank you that I am the <\/p>\n

511
\n00:27:36,400 –> 00:27:39,880
\none who, in laying it down for
\nthese men and women will give <\/p>\n

512
\n00:27:39,880 –> 00:27:42,440
\nthem life.
\nAnd I thank you for giving me <\/p>\n

513
\n00:27:42,800 –> 00:27:45,600
\nthat opportunity and that
\nprivilege of serving you in that<\/p>\n

514
\n00:27:45,600 –> 00:27:47,680
\nway.
\nAnd he broke it. <\/p>\n

515
\n00:27:47,680 –> 00:27:51,080
\nAnd he said to them, this is my
\nbody which is given for you. <\/p>\n

516
\n00:27:52,000 –> 00:27:56,000
\nThis do in remembrance of me
\nthat that just turned my world <\/p>\n

517
\n00:27:56,000 –> 00:27:59,720
\nBrentices inside out when I
\nthink about my prayers and how <\/p>\n

518
\n00:27:59,760 –> 00:28:02,800
\noften my prayers are prayers of
\nthankfulness. <\/p>\n

519
\n00:28:02,800 –> 00:28:06,840
\nDo you remember how the apostle
\nPaul said make you don’t be <\/p>\n

520
\n00:28:06,840 –> 00:28:09,520
\nanxious about anything but in
\neverything with prayer and <\/p>\n

521
\n00:28:09,520 –> 00:28:12,240
\nsupplication, make your request
\nknown unto God. <\/p>\n

522
\n00:28:12,240 –> 00:28:14,520
\nBut he didn’t stop there, did
\nhe? <\/p>\n

523
\n00:28:14,520 –> 00:28:19,880
\nHe said with Thanksgiving, every
\nsingle time you pray, it needs <\/p>\n

524
\n00:28:19,880 –> 00:28:22,000
\nto be with Thanksgiving.
\nNow let let me tell you <\/p>\n

525
\n00:28:22,000 –> 00:28:24,080
\nsomething about my life.
\nAnd again, this is personal <\/p>\n

526
\n00:28:24,080 –> 00:28:27,240
\nconfession time and I’m
\ndesperately hoping that you guys<\/p>\n

527
\n00:28:27,440 –> 00:28:29,800
\nhave the same challenges in your
\nlife than I do. <\/p>\n

528
\n00:28:30,120 –> 00:28:32,280
\nOtherwise, this is humiliation
\ntime as well. <\/p>\n

529
\n00:28:34,200 –> 00:28:38,160
\nI find it really easy to go to
\nGod in prayer and say thanks <\/p>\n

530
\n00:28:38,160 –> 00:28:42,600
\nwhen my life’s going swimmingly.
\nBut when my back’s up against <\/p>\n

531
\n00:28:42,600 –> 00:28:46,080
\nthe wall and I’m standing at the
\nbottom of the barrel and <\/p>\n

532
\n00:28:46,080 –> 00:28:49,680
\neverything’s going at 100 miles
\nan hour and I’m out of control. <\/p>\n

533
\n00:28:50,600 –> 00:28:52,520
\nAnd I don’t like being out out
\nof control. <\/p>\n

534
\n00:28:52,520 –> 00:28:54,400
\nAnd I don’t know what’s going to
\nhappen next or what the <\/p>\n

535
\n00:28:54,400 –> 00:28:56,000
\nsolutions to my problems might
\nbe. <\/p>\n

536
\n00:28:56,600 –> 00:28:59,160
\nSaying thank you to God for
\nthose moments, those <\/p>\n

537
\n00:28:59,160 –> 00:29:03,200
\ncircumstances, those experiences
\ntends to require a discipline in<\/p>\n

538
\n00:29:03,200 –> 00:29:05,560
\nmy mind that I sometimes
\nstruggle to rise to. <\/p>\n

539
\n00:29:05,560 –> 00:29:08,560
\nAnd there’s a fine example in
\nthe Old Testament. <\/p>\n

540
\n00:29:08,560 –> 00:29:11,320
\nWe won’t turn to it now because,
\nas ever, the clock is against <\/p>\n

541
\n00:29:11,320 –> 00:29:14,440
\nme.
\nDo you remember Daniel, A man <\/p>\n

542
\n00:29:14,440 –> 00:29:19,160
\nwho was at least 80 years old,
\nif not more, discovered that he <\/p>\n

543
\n00:29:19,160 –> 00:29:21,120
\nwas going to get thrown to the
\nlions. <\/p>\n

544
\n00:29:22,560 –> 00:29:24,640
\nHe was going to spend a night in
\nthe lions den. <\/p>\n

545
\n00:29:25,000 –> 00:29:27,360
\nFor all he knew, it might be his
\nlast night. <\/p>\n

546
\n00:29:28,520 –> 00:29:31,240
\nAnd when he knew that was going
\nto happen, his instinct was to <\/p>\n

547
\n00:29:31,240 –> 00:29:34,560
\nopen his window there in Babylon
\ntowards Jerusalem. <\/p>\n

548
\n00:29:34,960 –> 00:29:38,160
\nAnd he got down on his knees and
\nhe prayed 3 times a day. <\/p>\n

549
\n00:29:38,400 –> 00:29:40,360
\nAnd the record says like he
\nalways did. <\/p>\n

550
\n00:29:41,840 –> 00:29:45,080
\nAnd the only thing we’re told
\nabout that prayer of Daniel was <\/p>\n

551
\n00:29:45,080 –> 00:29:47,880
\nthat he said thanks.
\nThat’s all we’re told about it. <\/p>\n

552
\n00:29:49,520 –> 00:29:53,400
\nAnd I, I admire that man greater
\nthan he’ll ever know for that <\/p>\n

553
\n00:29:53,400 –> 00:29:57,000
\nprayer.
\nI don’t know how you would feel,<\/p>\n

554
\n00:29:57,000 –> 00:29:58,760
\nBren sisters, knowing you were
\nabout to be thrown to the lines,<\/p>\n

555
\n00:29:58,760 –> 00:30:01,080
\ngetting down on your knees and
\nsaying, well, do you know what, <\/p>\n

556
\n00:30:01,160 –> 00:30:05,880
\nFather, I thank you for all that
\nyou do for me. <\/p>\n

557
\n00:30:05,880 –> 00:30:08,200
\nAnd I’d be racking my brains
\neven if I was saying the words, <\/p>\n

558
\n00:30:08,200 –> 00:30:10,160
\nI’d be thinking, what has he
\ndone for me? <\/p>\n

559
\n00:30:10,160 –> 00:30:11,880
\nI’m about to be thrown to the
\nlions. <\/p>\n

560
\n00:30:13,520 –> 00:30:16,480
\nAnd here was the Lord Jesus
\nChrist, Brent Sisters, in the <\/p>\n

561
\n00:30:16,480 –> 00:30:21,240
\nupper room with these men giving
\nthanks for the bread that was a <\/p>\n

562
\n00:30:21,240 –> 00:30:25,280
\nrepresentation of his body that
\nhe’d absolutely given <\/p>\n

563
\n00:30:25,280 –> 00:30:27,760
\nunflinchingly in service for
\nthese men. <\/p>\n

564
\n00:30:28,160 –> 00:30:29,680
\nAnd he could say thank you for
\nit. <\/p>\n

565
\n00:30:31,160 –> 00:30:35,080
\nThat’s what it means, Brent.
\nIt’s in your life to to do this <\/p>\n

566
\n00:30:35,080 –> 00:30:38,960
\nin remembrance of him that you
\nthat you elevate your mind and <\/p>\n

567
\n00:30:38,960 –> 00:30:41,640
\nyour thinking and the way in
\nwhich you approach your life and<\/p>\n

568
\n00:30:41,640 –> 00:30:44,320
\nthe perspective that you bring
\nto bear on the different <\/p>\n

569
\n00:30:44,320 –> 00:30:45,760
\ncircumstances that you go
\nthrough. <\/p>\n

570
\n00:30:45,920 –> 00:30:48,960
\nSo that even when your back is
\nup against the wall, you can sit<\/p>\n

571
\n00:30:48,960 –> 00:30:50,880
\ndown, you can take a piece of
\nbread. <\/p>\n

572
\n00:30:51,080 –> 00:30:53,800
\nAnd you can remember a man who,
\neven when his back should have <\/p>\n

573
\n00:30:53,800 –> 00:30:57,920
\nbeen never more pinned against
\nthe wall, could go to prayer in <\/p>\n

574
\n00:30:57,920 –> 00:31:02,360
\nprayer to his Father with a word
\nof thanks That that blows my <\/p>\n

575
\n00:31:02,360 –> 00:31:05,240
\nmind.
\nAnd he did it twice. <\/p>\n

576
\n00:31:05,920 –> 00:31:10,600
\nThis cup is the New Testament in
\nmy blood, which has been poured <\/p>\n

577
\n00:31:10,600 –> 00:31:13,720
\nout for you.
\nAnd he gave thanks. <\/p>\n

578
\n00:31:14,240 –> 00:31:16,600
\nI have to tell you, Brin
\nsisters, if that’d have been me,<\/p>\n

579
\n00:31:18,040 –> 00:31:20,320
\nI’m not sure it would have been
\na prayer of thankfulness. <\/p>\n

580
\n00:31:21,600 –> 00:31:24,520
\nI would have been racking my
\nbrains to wonder all the reasons<\/p>\n

581
\n00:31:24,520 –> 00:31:27,800
\nwhy God had made me, of all
\npeople, go through this. <\/p>\n

582
\n00:31:28,520 –> 00:31:30,400
\nWhat?
\nWas there no other way that He <\/p>\n

583
\n00:31:30,400 –> 00:31:35,040
\ncould save men and women from
\ntheir worst fate than putting me<\/p>\n

584
\n00:31:35,280 –> 00:31:38,400
\nthrough all of these things for
\ntheir sake when there was no <\/p>\n

585
\n00:31:38,400 –> 00:31:40,800
\njustified reason for me going
\nthrough it? <\/p>\n

586
\n00:31:40,800 –> 00:31:42,960
\nIt would have been fine for you
\nto go through it. <\/p>\n

587
\n00:31:42,960 –> 00:31:44,320
\nNo problem.
\nYou deserved it. <\/p>\n

588
\n00:31:44,320 –> 00:31:48,320
\nI, I don’t deserve it.
\nAnd yet for the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n

589
\n00:31:48,320 –> 00:31:50,880
\nChrist, for instance, it was a
\nprayer of great thankfulness and<\/p>\n

590
\n00:31:50,880 –> 00:31:55,160
\ngratitude to God that He could
\nbe the one who could do this for<\/p>\n

591
\n00:31:55,160 –> 00:31:58,920
\nyou and for me.
\nAnd He asked us to do the same <\/p>\n

592
\n00:31:58,960 –> 00:32:01,520
\nin remembrance of Him.
\nHe asked to, He asked us to <\/p>\n

593
\n00:32:01,520 –> 00:32:05,120
\nelevate our mind and our
\nthinking and our attitude in our<\/p>\n

594
\n00:32:05,120 –> 00:32:09,000
\ndaily living.
\nIf we want to demonstrate that <\/p>\n

595
\n00:32:09,000 –> 00:32:11,840
\nwe’ve remembered we’ve been
\nthere in the presence of the <\/p>\n

596
\n00:32:11,840 –> 00:32:13,840
\nLord Jesus Christ.
\nWhen we took that bread and when<\/p>\n

597
\n00:32:13,840 –> 00:32:17,120
\nwe sipped from that cup, we
\nrecognised that there was a <\/p>\n

598
\n00:32:17,120 –> 00:32:20,440
\nchallenge being made in our life
\nand in the way we think and in <\/p>\n

599
\n00:32:20,440 –> 00:32:24,040
\nour response to our everyday
\ncircumstances, from having been <\/p>\n

600
\n00:32:24,040 –> 00:32:29,240
\nthere and witnessed His
\ndemeanour and his state of mind.<\/p>\n

601
\n00:32:29,240 –> 00:32:31,600
\nCome with me brother and
\nsisters, to one Peter chapter 2.<\/p>\n

602
\n00:32:39,700 –> 00:32:45,540
\nI want to finish this morning
\nwith with another look at the <\/p>\n

603
\n00:32:45,540 –> 00:32:48,220
\nmind of the Lord Jesus Christ so
\nthat we can understand what it <\/p>\n

604
\n00:32:48,220 –> 00:32:54,060
\nmeans to do as He has done.
\nThat we can understand what the <\/p>\n

605
\n00:32:54,060 –> 00:32:57,380
\nchallenge looks like in our
\ndaily living to try and follow <\/p>\n

606
\n00:32:57,380 –> 00:33:00,540
\nHis example, what it means to
\nput our bodies into His service,<\/p>\n

607
\n00:33:00,920 –> 00:33:04,520
\nwhat it means to pour out our
\nlives as He did into that cup <\/p>\n

608
\n00:33:04,800 –> 00:33:08,480
\nfor us if we really want to do
\nand remember him. <\/p>\n

609
\n00:33:08,480 –> 00:33:11,120
\nWhat, what does that look like
\nin our in our daily living? <\/p>\n

610
\n00:33:12,840 –> 00:33:15,760
\nAnd here in One Peter chapter 2,
\nPeter begins to give us an <\/p>\n

611
\n00:33:15,760 –> 00:33:17,880
\ninsight into what that might
\nmean and what it might look <\/p>\n

612
\n00:33:17,880 –> 00:33:20,480
\nlike.
\nOne Peter chapter 2 and verse <\/p>\n

613
\n00:33:21,080 –> 00:33:29,080
\n21.
\nFor this is what you’ve been <\/p>\n

614
\n00:33:29,080 –> 00:33:33,520
\ncalled to, says Peter.
\nBecause Christ also suffered for<\/p>\n

615
\n00:33:33,520 –> 00:33:39,760
\nyou, leaving you an example that
\nyou should follow in his steps. <\/p>\n

616
\n00:33:40,600 –> 00:33:45,280
\nWho did no sin, neither was
\nguile found in his mouth. <\/p>\n

617
\n00:33:45,320 –> 00:33:48,560
\nI just want to stop there and
\nthink about the challenge of the<\/p>\n

618
\n00:33:48,560 –> 00:33:51,480
\napostle Peter in those words.
\nThis is what you’ve been called <\/p>\n

619
\n00:33:51,480 –> 00:33:54,520
\nto.
\nHe says Christ suffered for you,<\/p>\n

620
\n00:33:55,000 –> 00:33:58,240
\nleaving you an example that you
\nshould follow in his steps. <\/p>\n

621
\n00:33:58,240 –> 00:34:02,000
\nThere was some suffering that
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ endured <\/p>\n

622
\n00:34:02,320 –> 00:34:05,320
\nthat He wants you to have a go
\nat in your daily living. <\/p>\n

623
\n00:34:06,320 –> 00:34:09,760
\nHe can’t mean the cross, can he?
\nThe suffering that the apostle <\/p>\n

624
\n00:34:09,760 –> 00:34:13,199
\nPeter is referring to, there
\ncan’t be the cross because he’s <\/p>\n

625
\n00:34:13,199 –> 00:34:17,000
\nsaying he wants us to have a go
\nat following in his footsteps, <\/p>\n

626
\n00:34:17,239 –> 00:34:18,679
\nand he doesn’t ask us to do
\nthat. <\/p>\n

627
\n00:34:18,679 –> 00:34:21,440
\nThat’s the absolute wonder,
\nBruin sisters of the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n

628
\n00:34:21,440 –> 00:34:23,239
\nChrist.
\nHe never asked us to go to <\/p>\n

629
\n00:34:23,239 –> 00:34:26,120
\nCalvary with him.
\nHe did that for us. <\/p>\n

630
\n00:34:27,000 –> 00:34:29,760
\nBut there is some suffering the
\nLord asked us to experience in <\/p>\n

631
\n00:34:29,760 –> 00:34:33,520
\nour life, asked us to be willing
\nto have a go at some example <\/p>\n

632
\n00:34:33,520 –> 00:34:35,920
\nthat he wants us to follow that
\nwe can do. <\/p>\n

633
\n00:34:37,480 –> 00:34:39,360
\nThis is what you’ve been called
\nto, says Peter. <\/p>\n

634
\n00:34:39,600 –> 00:34:42,719
\nChrist suffered for you, leaving
\nyou an example that you should <\/p>\n

635
\n00:34:42,719 –> 00:34:45,080
\nfollow in his steps.
\nAnd here’s the example. <\/p>\n

636
\n00:34:45,080 –> 00:34:47,320
\nHere’s the slap in the face that
\nthe apostle Peter is now going <\/p>\n

637
\n00:34:47,320 –> 00:34:53,159
\nto give you verse 22, who did no
\nsin. <\/p>\n

638
\n00:34:54,679 –> 00:34:56,800
\nThat’s the example.
\nHe wants you to have a go at <\/p>\n

639
\n00:34:56,800 –> 00:34:59,280
\nfollowing.
\nHe doesn’t expect you to achieve<\/p>\n

640
\n00:34:59,280 –> 00:35:03,880
\nit, but he wants you to have a
\ngo now brethren says sin your <\/p>\n

641
\n00:35:03,880 –> 00:35:06,760
\ndaily living.
\nHere’s a challenge for you. <\/p>\n

642
\n00:35:06,760 –> 00:35:09,480
\nIf you’ve never tried it before,
\ntry having a sinless day. <\/p>\n

643
\n00:35:10,160 –> 00:35:13,080
\nJust give it a go.
\nTry getting up in the morning <\/p>\n

644
\n00:35:13,080 –> 00:35:17,640
\nand thinking today I am going to
\nhave a go, a sinless day one day<\/p>\n

645
\n00:35:17,640 –> 00:35:22,120
\nin my life.
\nOne day when my thoughts, when I<\/p>\n

646
\n00:35:22,120 –> 00:35:24,200
\nwould not be ashamed in the
\npresence of the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n

647
\n00:35:24,200 –> 00:35:28,000
\nChrist to have him know all the
\nthings I think today, I would <\/p>\n

648
\n00:35:28,000 –> 00:35:31,720
\nnot have the Lord Jesus Christ
\nashamed in my life today by <\/p>\n

649
\n00:35:31,720 –> 00:35:35,720
\nanything that I say, anything
\nthat I do, any place that I go, <\/p>\n

650
\n00:35:35,880 –> 00:35:39,040
\nanything that I allow my mind to
\ndwell upon or think, You know, <\/p>\n

651
\n00:35:39,040 –> 00:35:42,560
\nin those instinct moments when
\nsomething happens and we go, you<\/p>\n

652
\n00:35:42,560 –> 00:35:44,400
\nknow, I’m going to try and
\ncontrol it. <\/p>\n

653
\n00:35:44,400 –> 00:35:47,440
\nI’m going to try and take
\npossession of my mind and my <\/p>\n

654
\n00:35:47,440 –> 00:35:50,200
\nbody and I’m going to try and
\nhave a sinless day. <\/p>\n

655
\n00:35:52,080 –> 00:35:56,360
\nAnd well, it’s 10:30.
\nIf today had been the day, I <\/p>\n

656
\n00:35:56,360 –> 00:36:01,080
\nwonder how we would be doing,
\nYou know, and that’s the <\/p>\n

657
\n00:36:01,080 –> 00:36:02,520
\nchallenge.
\nBrentsis is the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n

658
\n00:36:02,520 –> 00:36:04,440
\nChrist wants us to have a go at
\ndoing. <\/p>\n

659
\n00:36:05,400 –> 00:36:08,920
\nThis is what you’ve been called
\nto because Christ suffered for <\/p>\n

660
\n00:36:08,920 –> 00:36:12,920
\nyou, leaving you an example that
\nyou should follow in his steps. <\/p>\n

661
\n00:36:12,920 –> 00:36:17,040
\nWho did know sin.
\nThat’s the example. <\/p>\n

662
\n00:36:18,640 –> 00:36:20,040
\nThe suffering that Christ
\nendured. <\/p>\n

663
\n00:36:20,040 –> 00:36:21,680
\nBrentsis is to be an example to
\nus. <\/p>\n

664
\n00:36:21,680 –> 00:36:25,480
\nThere is some suffering we can
\nhave a go at doing for His sake.<\/p>\n

665
\n00:36:25,480 –> 00:36:28,920
\nThe example we ought to follow
\nis His desire to do no sin. <\/p>\n

666
\n00:36:28,920 –> 00:36:32,840
\nAnd I wonder, Brent says, if
\nthis is the do in Luke 22, this <\/p>\n

667
\n00:36:32,840 –> 00:36:34,800
\nbread is my body which I’ve
\ngiven for you. <\/p>\n

668
\n00:36:34,840 –> 00:36:39,160
\nThis do in remembrance of of me.
\nThis is what you’ve been called <\/p>\n

669
\n00:36:39,160 –> 00:36:44,280
\nto, that Christ suffered for
\nyou, leaving you an example that<\/p>\n

670
\n00:36:44,280 –> 00:36:46,080
\nyou should follow in his steps.
\nAnd what we’re going to <\/p>\n

671
\n00:36:46,080 –> 00:36:50,000
\ndiscover, Brent says, is just in
\nour last 10 minutes or so, is <\/p>\n

672
\n00:36:50,000 –> 00:36:53,200
\nthat the suffering the Lord
\nJesus endured in his desire to <\/p>\n

673
\n00:36:53,200 –> 00:36:56,520
\ndo no sin.
\nI’m going to suggest to you just<\/p>\n

674
\n00:36:56,520 –> 00:36:59,560
\njust for the purpose of our
\nclass this morning was greater <\/p>\n

675
\n00:36:59,560 –> 00:37:01,960
\nand more painful than any nail
\nthey could have driven into his <\/p>\n

676
\n00:37:01,960 –> 00:37:05,200
\nbody.
\nAnd if you try having a sinless <\/p>\n

677
\n00:37:05,200 –> 00:37:09,080
\nday just for one day, you’ll
\ndiscover how painful that was <\/p>\n

678
\n00:37:09,080 –> 00:37:13,160
\nfor the Lord Jesus Christ to do
\nthat unflinchingly for 33 1\/2 <\/p>\n

679
\n00:37:13,160 –> 00:37:16,400
\nyears.
\nAnd that’s the suffering, Bren <\/p>\n

680
\n00:37:16,400 –> 00:37:18,600
\nsisters.
\nThat’s the example that you and <\/p>\n

681
\n00:37:18,600 –> 00:37:23,560
\nI have been called to not
\nCalvary this this suffering <\/p>\n

682
\n00:37:24,760 –> 00:37:27,520
\ncoming to Hebrews chapter 5 just
\nback a few pages. <\/p>\n

683
\n00:37:28,400 –> 00:37:39,510
\nLet’s see how this develops.
\nLet’s see how much it meant to <\/p>\n

684
\n00:37:39,510 –> 00:37:41,390
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ.
\nAnd I’m not going to take you <\/p>\n

685
\n00:37:41,390 –> 00:37:42,990
\nthis morning to any words that
\nyou don’t. <\/p>\n

686
\n00:37:43,270 –> 00:37:46,590
\nI’m guessing you don’t know
\nreally well Hebrews chapter 5 <\/p>\n

687
\n00:37:46,590 –> 00:37:51,830
\nand verse 7, who in the days of
\nhis flesh when he had offered up<\/p>\n

688
\n00:37:51,830 –> 00:37:56,390
\nprayers and supplications with
\nstrong crying and tears. <\/p>\n

689
\n00:37:57,400 –> 00:38:00,480
\nAnd to him that was able to save
\nhim from death and was heard in <\/p>\n

690
\n00:38:00,480 –> 00:38:06,280
\nthat he feared though he was a
\nson, yet he learned obedience by<\/p>\n

691
\n00:38:06,280 –> 00:38:10,120
\nthe things which he suffered,
\nand being made perfect, He <\/p>\n

692
\n00:38:10,120 –> 00:38:12,840
\nbecame the author of eternal
\nsalvation and to all them that <\/p>\n

693
\n00:38:12,840 –> 00:38:15,880
\nobey him.
\nI find that an absolutely lovely<\/p>\n

694
\n00:38:16,200 –> 00:38:19,360
\ninsight brethis is into the mind
\nand the life of the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n

695
\n00:38:19,360 –> 00:38:22,000
\nChrist.
\nWhat it’s telling us is that he <\/p>\n

696
\n00:38:22,000 –> 00:38:25,600
\ndidn’t find it easy.
\nFirst of all, he ended up on his<\/p>\n

697
\n00:38:25,600 –> 00:38:29,520
\nknees in prayer with strong
\ncrying and tears. <\/p>\n

698
\n00:38:30,000 –> 00:38:33,200
\nI don’t know how many times in
\nyour life when you’ve felt the <\/p>\n

699
\n00:38:33,200 –> 00:38:36,920
\nneed to pray, it’s been on your
\nknees with strong crying and <\/p>\n

700
\n00:38:36,920 –> 00:38:38,360
\ntears.
\nI can. <\/p>\n

701
\n00:38:38,360 –> 00:38:40,360
\nMaybe I can.
\nWell, I don’t know. <\/p>\n

702
\n00:38:40,360 –> 00:38:42,480
\nMaybe it’s on one hand, isn’t
\nit? <\/p>\n

703
\n00:38:42,480 –> 00:38:48,120
\nI guess for me, if that strong
\ncrying and tears because it <\/p>\n

704
\n00:38:48,120 –> 00:38:52,480
\nmeant that much.
\nIt was that important to me and <\/p>\n

705
\n00:38:52,480 –> 00:38:55,200
\nwhat it tells us is that even
\nthough he was the Son of God, <\/p>\n

706
\n00:38:55,200 –> 00:38:59,600
\nverse 8, the Lord Jesus Christ
\nhad to learn obedience just like<\/p>\n

707
\n00:38:59,600 –> 00:39:01,240
\nall of us have to do in our
\nlives. <\/p>\n

708
\n00:39:01,920 –> 00:39:05,000
\nThe Lord Jesus was no different.
\nHe had to learn obedience to his<\/p>\n

709
\n00:39:05,000 –> 00:39:07,280
\nFather and yet this was the
\nmethod. <\/p>\n

710
\n00:39:07,720 –> 00:39:10,840
\nHe lured obedience by the things
\nwhich He suffered. <\/p>\n

711
\n00:39:11,320 –> 00:39:13,480
\nNow, brethren says, I want you
\nto ask you to go back in your <\/p>\n

712
\n00:39:13,480 –> 00:39:17,280
\nminds and remember however it
\nwas you learned obedience in <\/p>\n

713
\n00:39:17,280 –> 00:39:20,680
\nyour lives, what the method was.
\nAnd if you’ve been watching us <\/p>\n

714
\n00:39:20,680 –> 00:39:23,000
\nwith Elias this week or any of
\nthe other families with <\/p>\n

715
\n00:39:23,000 –> 00:39:26,360
\nchildren, you have a very visual
\nexample right there in front of <\/p>\n

716
\n00:39:26,360 –> 00:39:28,600
\nyou.
\nHow do you learn obedience? <\/p>\n

717
\n00:39:28,720 –> 00:39:30,600
\nHow do any of us learn
\nobedience? <\/p>\n

718
\n00:39:30,840 –> 00:39:33,240
\nSure, we learn through
\nsuffering, but we learn through <\/p>\n

719
\n00:39:33,240 –> 00:39:37,240
\ntrial and error, don’t we?
\nWe spend our lives, you know, as<\/p>\n

720
\n00:39:37,240 –> 00:39:40,320
\nchildren and mum and dad say
\ndon’t touch that, It’s hot. <\/p>\n

721
\n00:39:40,600 –> 00:39:44,080
\nAnd what you discover is until
\nbaby has touched the hot thing, <\/p>\n

722
\n00:39:44,520 –> 00:39:47,760
\nhe never really knows what
\nobedience feels like. <\/p>\n

723
\n00:39:47,760 –> 00:39:50,600
\nOK, how?
\nIt doesn’t matter how many times<\/p>\n

724
\n00:39:50,600 –> 00:39:53,240
\nMum says I don’t want you to go
\nthere, I don’t want you to pick <\/p>\n

725
\n00:39:53,240 –> 00:39:55,960
\nthat up.
\nThat knife will cut you until <\/p>\n

726
\n00:39:56,040 –> 00:39:59,520
\nyou know blood is flowing, until
\nbruises are showing. <\/p>\n

727
\n00:39:59,760 –> 00:40:04,160
\nWhat you discover is that that’s
\ntends to be the way human nature<\/p>\n

728
\n00:40:04,240 –> 00:40:10,280
\nlearns, learns obedience.
\nYou learn by trial and error and<\/p>\n

729
\n00:40:10,280 –> 00:40:12,600
\nwhat I, what I’ve discovered,
\nand again, here’s confession <\/p>\n

730
\n00:40:12,600 –> 00:40:14,200
\ntime.
\nIt doesn’t change as we get <\/p>\n

731
\n00:40:14,200 –> 00:40:15,400
\nolder, does it?
\nIt gets a bit more <\/p>\n

732
\n00:40:15,520 –> 00:40:18,760
\nsophisticated, that’s all.
\nSo as we get older, we spend our<\/p>\n

733
\n00:40:18,760 –> 00:40:22,640
\nlives going.
\nI wish I’d not said that if I <\/p>\n

734
\n00:40:22,640 –> 00:40:24,720
\nhad my time again, I, I wouldn’t
\nhave done that. <\/p>\n

735
\n00:40:24,720 –> 00:40:28,400
\nThat decision wasn’t good.
\nI understand the problems that <\/p>\n

736
\n00:40:28,400 –> 00:40:30,560
\ncame in my life from having made
\nthat choice. <\/p>\n

737
\n00:40:31,320 –> 00:40:33,560
\nI wished I’d not dealt with that
\nperson in that way. <\/p>\n

738
\n00:40:33,560 –> 00:40:36,240
\nAnd if I had my time again, I, I
\nwould, I would do that <\/p>\n

739
\n00:40:36,240 –> 00:40:39,160
\ndifferently.
\nAnd we learn by trial and error <\/p>\n

740
\n00:40:39,160 –> 00:40:41,600
\nevery single day.
\nAnd I suppose the challenge of <\/p>\n

741
\n00:40:41,600 –> 00:40:44,960
\nadulthood, which I’m one day
\ngoing to master, is to get to <\/p>\n

742
\n00:40:44,960 –> 00:40:47,560
\nthe point where you, where you
\nactually do what you say you’re <\/p>\n

743
\n00:40:47,560 –> 00:40:50,200
\nnot going to do anymore.
\nI’m not going to do that again. <\/p>\n

744
\n00:40:50,200 –> 00:40:51,800
\nI’m not going to say that again.
\nI’m not going to make that <\/p>\n

745
\n00:40:51,800 –> 00:40:54,280
\nmistake again.
\nAnd one day, apparently my mum <\/p>\n

746
\n00:40:54,280 –> 00:40:57,040
\ntells me, you get to a point
\nwhere you stop making the same <\/p>\n

747
\n00:40:57,040 –> 00:41:00,320
\nmistakes over and over again
\nbecause finally you’ve learnt <\/p>\n

748
\n00:41:00,320 –> 00:41:01,600
\nthat they’re, they’re bad
\nthings. <\/p>\n

749
\n00:41:01,760 –> 00:41:04,160
\nThey don’t help your life, they
\ndon’t help those around you. <\/p>\n

750
\n00:41:04,160 –> 00:41:05,920
\nAnd one day you learn to stop
\ndoing it. <\/p>\n

751
\n00:41:07,360 –> 00:41:10,200
\nThe Lord Jesus Christ, Princess,
\ncouldn’t learn obedience that <\/p>\n

752
\n00:41:10,200 –> 00:41:15,680
\nway, didn’t have the freedom to
\nlearn that way, couldn’t go <\/p>\n

753
\n00:41:15,680 –> 00:41:18,960
\nthrough life by going well.
\nWished I’d not done that, wished<\/p>\n

754
\n00:41:18,960 –> 00:41:21,480
\nI’d not said that, wished I’d
\nnot been there. <\/p>\n

755
\n00:41:22,000 –> 00:41:23,640
\nI wouldn’t have.
\nI wouldn’t make that choice <\/p>\n

756
\n00:41:23,640 –> 00:41:27,840
\nagain if I had my time again.
\nJesus didn’t have his time. <\/p>\n

757
\n00:41:27,840 –> 00:41:31,400
\nAgain.
\nJesus couldn’t learn obedience <\/p>\n

758
\n00:41:31,400 –> 00:41:35,480
\nthat way, shouldn’t learn by
\nbumbling through life, making <\/p>\n

759
\n00:41:35,760 –> 00:41:41,600
\nmistake here and error there.
\nHad to learn obedience by a <\/p>\n

760
\n00:41:41,600 –> 00:41:45,080
\ndifferent kind of suffering.
\nAnd the suffering that the Lord <\/p>\n

761
\n00:41:45,480 –> 00:41:49,400
\nexperienced, Princess, is that
\ntaught him obedience, I suspect <\/p>\n

762
\n00:41:49,400 –> 00:41:52,040
\nwas probably different to the
\nsuffering that teaches his <\/p>\n

763
\n00:41:52,040 –> 00:41:53,400
\nobedience.
\nCome back with me just a couple <\/p>\n

764
\n00:41:53,400 –> 00:42:03,800
\nof pages to Hebrews chapter 2.
\nHebrews chapter 2 and verse 10 <\/p>\n

765
\n00:42:04,520 –> 00:42:08,720
\nFor it became him for whom are
\nall things and by whom are all <\/p>\n

766
\n00:42:08,720 –> 00:42:12,280
\nthings, in bringing many sons
\ninto glory to make the captain <\/p>\n

767
\n00:42:12,280 –> 00:42:15,560
\nof their salvation perfect
\nthrough suffering. <\/p>\n

768
\n00:42:16,240 –> 00:42:18,200
\nWhat was the suffering, Brent?
\nThis is that the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n

769
\n00:42:18,200 –> 00:42:21,040
\nexperienced that made him
\nperfect. <\/p>\n

770
\n00:42:21,880 –> 00:42:24,400
\nI I don’t believe the right here
\nis talking about Calvary. <\/p>\n

771
\n00:42:24,400 –> 00:42:26,360
\nThat wasn’t the suffering that
\nmade him perfect. <\/p>\n

772
\n00:42:26,760 –> 00:42:29,280
\nThat wasn’t the suffering that
\nmade him sinless, A faultless <\/p>\n

773
\n00:42:29,280 –> 00:42:32,000
\nman, a man who went through
\nevery day not learning by <\/p>\n

774
\n00:42:32,200 –> 00:42:35,520
\nmistake, by faults, by by poor
\nexperience. <\/p>\n

775
\n00:42:36,040 –> 00:42:38,200
\nWhat was the suffering that the
\nLord Jesus endured, Bren <\/p>\n

776
\n00:42:38,200 –> 00:42:41,040
\nsisters, that made him perfect?
\nThis is the example we’re being <\/p>\n

777
\n00:42:41,040 –> 00:42:43,840
\nchallenged to follow.
\nVerse 18. <\/p>\n

778
\n00:42:44,720 –> 00:42:51,080
\nFor in that He himself hath
\nsuffered being tempted, He’s <\/p>\n

779
\n00:42:51,080 –> 00:42:53,440
\nable to succor them that are
\ntempted. <\/p>\n

780
\n00:42:54,280 –> 00:42:56,280
\nThe suffering that the Lord
\nJesus experienced. <\/p>\n

781
\n00:42:56,280 –> 00:42:59,280
\nPrincess, it sounds really
\nsimple when you just read this <\/p>\n

782
\n00:42:59,280 –> 00:43:00,840
\nverse.
\nThe suffering the Lord <\/p>\n

783
\n00:43:00,840 –> 00:43:03,920
\nexperienced was temptation.
\nAnd you go, Oh yeah, I know what<\/p>\n

784
\n00:43:03,920 –> 00:43:05,800
\nthat’s like.
\nI, I, I know what temptation <\/p>\n

785
\n00:43:05,800 –> 00:43:08,120
\nmeans.
\nOf course we do, because we give<\/p>\n

786
\n00:43:08,120 –> 00:43:11,600
\nin to it every day.
\nI can overcome everything except<\/p>\n

787
\n00:43:11,600 –> 00:43:15,200
\ntemptation, right?
\nThat’s, you know, anything. <\/p>\n

788
\n00:43:15,200 –> 00:43:17,160
\nI can overcome anything except
\ntemptation. <\/p>\n

789
\n00:43:18,440 –> 00:43:21,640
\nAnd the Lord Jesus Christ had to
\nand the suffering that he <\/p>\n

790
\n00:43:21,640 –> 00:43:25,680
\nendured, Bren Sisters, was every
\ntime you and I think, oh, I, I <\/p>\n

791
\n00:43:25,680 –> 00:43:27,640
\nwished I’d not done that.
\nI wished I’d not said that I <\/p>\n

792
\n00:43:27,640 –> 00:43:29,920
\nwished I’d not been there.
\nThe suffering the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n

793
\n00:43:29,920 –> 00:43:31,360
\nChrist had to experience was
\nthis. <\/p>\n

794
\n00:43:31,880 –> 00:43:34,080
\nI need to think now about what I
\nam going to say. <\/p>\n

795
\n00:43:35,400 –> 00:43:37,600
\nI need to think now about where
\nI am going to go. <\/p>\n

796
\n00:43:38,360 –> 00:43:40,920
\nI need to think about who I am
\ngoing to be and what I am going <\/p>\n

797
\n00:43:40,920 –> 00:43:43,520
\nto say and how I am going to
\nthink and what I am going to do.<\/p>\n

798
\n00:43:43,840 –> 00:43:47,000
\nI need to have such a a
\ndiscipline and a control over my<\/p>\n

799
\n00:43:47,000 –> 00:43:50,720
\nmind and my body that I don’t
\nlook back in 5 minutes time <\/p>\n

800
\n00:43:50,720 –> 00:43:52,240
\ngoing.
\nI’ve lost it. <\/p>\n

801
\n00:43:52,280 –> 00:43:55,440
\nIt’s gone.
\nThat moment of sinlessness that <\/p>\n

802
\n00:43:55,440 –> 00:43:58,280
\nI’m that I’m aiming for, for you
\nand for me is gone. <\/p>\n

803
\n00:43:59,400 –> 00:44:00,800
\nJust like that.
\nJust so easy. <\/p>\n

804
\n00:44:00,800 –> 00:44:02,640
\nSin.
\nSin to you and I, Brent and <\/p>\n

805
\n00:44:02,640 –> 00:44:07,280
\nsisters, costs nothing because
\nwe can we can go and pray to God<\/p>\n

806
\n00:44:07,280 –> 00:44:11,840
\non a daily basis and God’s mercy
\nis rich to forgive us and to <\/p>\n

807
\n00:44:11,840 –> 00:44:16,440
\nmake up our our weaknesses and
\nour shortcomings cement a lot <\/p>\n

808
\n00:44:16,440 –> 00:44:19,760
\nmore to the Lord Jesus Christ.
\nHe couldn’t afford to do it or <\/p>\n

809
\n00:44:19,760 –> 00:44:23,520
\nhave it in his life for you and
\nfor me and he asked us to engage<\/p>\n

810
\n00:44:23,520 –> 00:44:24,880
\nBrent.
\nThis is in that process. <\/p>\n

811
\n00:44:25,680 –> 00:44:28,000
\nThis is what you’ve been called
\nto, says the apostle Peter. <\/p>\n

812
\n00:44:28,920 –> 00:44:32,040
\nThe example of the Lord Jesus
\nChrist to engage in his <\/p>\n

813
\n00:44:32,040 –> 00:44:34,920
\nsufferings, that you might
\nfollow in his steps a man who <\/p>\n

814
\n00:44:34,920 –> 00:44:39,640
\ndid no sin.
\nThis bread is my body which I <\/p>\n

815
\n00:44:39,640 –> 00:44:42,800
\nhave given for you.
\nThis do in remembrance of me. <\/p>\n

816
\n00:44:42,800 –> 00:44:46,280
\nHave a girl.
\nHave a go at elevating your mind<\/p>\n

817
\n00:44:46,280 –> 00:44:48,480
\nand your thinking.
\nHave a go at taking greater <\/p>\n

818
\n00:44:48,480 –> 00:44:51,320
\ncontrol of your life for my
\nsake. <\/p>\n

819
\n00:44:51,480 –> 00:44:54,160
\nIf you really want to Remember
\nMe, if you really want to <\/p>\n

820
\n00:44:54,160 –> 00:44:57,160
\ndemonstrate your understanding
\nof what I’ve done for you, then <\/p>\n

821
\n00:44:57,160 –> 00:44:58,960
\nyou have a go at doing it for
\nme. <\/p>\n

822
\n00:45:01,080 –> 00:45:03,000
\nCome over to Matthew 4 really
\nquickly. <\/p>\n

823
\n00:45:05,640 –> 00:45:07,920
\nThe writer of the Hebrews says
\nthat the the suffering the Lord <\/p>\n

824
\n00:45:07,920 –> 00:45:11,200
\nJesus experienced was by being
\ntempted. <\/p>\n

825
\n00:45:12,120 –> 00:45:14,280
\nAnd I suggested to you a moment
\nago, Bren sisters, that that was<\/p>\n

826
\n00:45:14,280 –> 00:45:19,320
\na greater it it was it felt like
\ngreater pain to the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n

827
\n00:45:19,320 –> 00:45:22,440
\nChrist than any nail driven
\nthrough his body. <\/p>\n

828
\n00:45:24,120 –> 00:45:27,560
\nAnd as you know, in in what we
\nclassically call the temptations<\/p>\n

829
\n00:45:27,560 –> 00:45:30,440
\nof Jesus.
\nWell, in a way it’s defined for <\/p>\n

830
\n00:45:30,440 –> 00:45:33,080
\nus what that suffering felt like
\nand what it meant to the Lord <\/p>\n

831
\n00:45:33,160 –> 00:45:35,160
\nJesus.
\nAnd again, you know this sea <\/p>\n

832
\n00:45:35,160 –> 00:45:37,800
\nnever so well Jesus verse one
\nwas led up of the Spirit into <\/p>\n

833
\n00:45:37,800 –> 00:45:40,040
\nthe wilderness to be tempted of
\nthe devil. <\/p>\n

834
\n00:45:40,040 –> 00:45:44,040
\nAnd when he’d fasted 40 days and
\n40 nights, he was hungry. <\/p>\n

835
\n00:45:44,560 –> 00:45:45,720
\nIt’s not really surprising, is
\nit? <\/p>\n

836
\n00:45:45,720 –> 00:45:48,280
\nWe made comments about the food
\nat Bible school yesterday. <\/p>\n

837
\n00:45:48,640 –> 00:45:50,240
\nWell, here’s another one.
\nWe have. <\/p>\n

838
\n00:45:50,240 –> 00:45:52,680
\nNo, we have.
\nWe struggle to stand in the <\/p>\n

839
\n00:45:52,680 –> 00:45:55,160
\nLord’s sandals in this moment in
\nthe wilderness, don’t we? <\/p>\n

840
\n00:45:55,360 –> 00:45:58,360
\nWe don’t go for like more than
\nthree hours without eating food.<\/p>\n

841
\n00:45:59,320 –> 00:46:02,440
\nIf you’ve ever tried going for
\n40 days without food, you’ll <\/p>\n

842
\n00:46:02,440 –> 00:46:04,960
\nknow what it does to your mind.
\nIt makes everything just feel a <\/p>\n

843
\n00:46:04,960 –> 00:46:06,760
\nlittle shaky.
\nI’m not telling you that from <\/p>\n

844
\n00:46:06,760 –> 00:46:08,840
\nexperience.
\nMaybe just a day or two without <\/p>\n

845
\n00:46:08,840 –> 00:46:13,560
\nfood and all of a sudden your
\nperspective starts to go and the<\/p>\n

846
\n00:46:13,560 –> 00:46:18,840
\nLord hasn’t eaten for 40 days.
\nAnd the tempter came to him and <\/p>\n

847
\n00:46:18,840 –> 00:46:22,120
\nsaid if you are the Son of God,
\ncommand that these stones be <\/p>\n

848
\n00:46:22,120 –> 00:46:26,000
\nmade bread and right there
\nbread. <\/p>\n

849
\n00:46:26,000 –> 00:46:29,280
\nAnd sisters, in that verse
\nyou’ve heard what the real <\/p>\n

850
\n00:46:29,280 –> 00:46:31,200
\ntemptation was for the Lord
\nJesus Christ. <\/p>\n

851
\n00:46:31,200 –> 00:46:32,760
\nI don’t know if you ever noticed
\nit before. <\/p>\n

852
\n00:46:33,040 –> 00:46:35,120
\nIt wasn’t to make stones into
\nbread. <\/p>\n

853
\n00:46:35,960 –> 00:46:38,440
\nIt was deeper than that.
\nRead it carefully. <\/p>\n

854
\n00:46:39,680 –> 00:46:44,960
\nWhen the tempter came to him,
\nverse 3, it said to him, if you <\/p>\n

855
\n00:46:45,000 –> 00:46:52,080
\nare the Son of God, that was the
\ntemptation bred and sisters, it <\/p>\n

856
\n00:46:52,080 –> 00:46:55,800
\nwasn’t the the the the stones to
\nbread was the secondary issue. <\/p>\n

857
\n00:46:56,320 –> 00:47:00,320
\nThe real challenge the
\ntemptation was if you are the <\/p>\n

858
\n00:47:00,320 –> 00:47:03,640
\nSon of God, are you really the
\nSon of God? <\/p>\n

859
\n00:47:03,960 –> 00:47:07,320
\nDo you really think Jesus of
\nNazareth, son of Mary and <\/p>\n

860
\n00:47:07,320 –> 00:47:10,040
\nJoseph, is the Son of God?
\nAnd you think about that, <\/p>\n

861
\n00:47:10,040 –> 00:47:11,880
\nbrethren, sisters, for a moment,
\nand you put yourself in the <\/p>\n

862
\n00:47:11,880 –> 00:47:14,920
\nLord’s shoes and you think,
\nwell, I would have been <\/p>\n

863
\n00:47:14,920 –> 00:47:18,480
\nthinking, yeah, am I, am I
\nreally the Son of God? <\/p>\n

864
\n00:47:19,720 –> 00:47:21,800
\nI mean, I remember hearing it as
\nI came out of the Jordan. <\/p>\n

865
\n00:47:21,800 –> 00:47:24,120
\nJust look back at the last verse
\nof, of chapter 3. <\/p>\n

866
\n00:47:24,120 –> 00:47:27,680
\nA voice came from heaven saying,
\nthis is my beloved son in whom I<\/p>\n

867
\n00:47:27,680 –> 00:47:29,840
\nam well pleased.
\nAnd it was, it was as if all <\/p>\n

868
\n00:47:29,840 –> 00:47:33,160
\nheaven was ringing with the
\nwords, this is my beloved son in<\/p>\n

869
\n00:47:33,160 –> 00:47:36,320
\nwhom I am well pleased.
\nThat was six weeks ago and you <\/p>\n

870
\n00:47:36,320 –> 00:47:40,160
\nhaven’t eaten a meal since.
\nAnd now the challenge in your <\/p>\n

871
\n00:47:40,160 –> 00:47:42,600
\nmind is this, Are you really the
\nSon of God? <\/p>\n

872
\n00:47:42,880 –> 00:47:44,920
\nDo you really think you’re the
\nSon of God? <\/p>\n

873
\n00:47:45,200 –> 00:47:47,160
\nDo you really think that when
\nyou’re hanging there on the <\/p>\n

874
\n00:47:47,160 –> 00:47:50,640
\nstake with nails through your
\nwrists and your ankles that God <\/p>\n

875
\n00:47:50,640 –> 00:47:52,640
\nis really going to come and
\nraise you from the dead? <\/p>\n

876
\n00:47:52,800 –> 00:47:56,680
\nDo you really believe that?
\nHave you ever had those days, <\/p>\n

877
\n00:47:56,680 –> 00:47:57,720
\nBrent?
\nThis is where you just think to <\/p>\n

878
\n00:47:57,720 –> 00:47:59,320
\nyourself, do you know what?
\nI’ve lost my mind. <\/p>\n

879
\n00:47:59,600 –> 00:48:02,080
\nI don’t know what I’m doing.
\nThis whole thing that I’ve been <\/p>\n

880
\n00:48:02,080 –> 00:48:05,200
\nlearning since I was a kid, the,
\nthe, the belief that one day the<\/p>\n

881
\n00:48:05,200 –> 00:48:07,080
\nLord Jesus Christ is going to
\ncome back, that there’s going to<\/p>\n

882
\n00:48:07,080 –> 00:48:10,000
\nbe an everlasting Kingdom of, of
\nrighteousness and, and peace on <\/p>\n

883
\n00:48:10,000 –> 00:48:11,840
\nthis earth.
\nThat’s, that’s ridiculous. <\/p>\n

884
\n00:48:12,040 –> 00:48:14,720
\nI must be losing my mind.
\nHave you ever had one of those <\/p>\n

885
\n00:48:14,720 –> 00:48:17,800
\ndays brains, sisters, Johnny
\nMunnell, do you really think <\/p>\n

886
\n00:48:17,800 –> 00:48:19,480
\nthis is all true?
\nDo you really think that one day<\/p>\n

887
\n00:48:19,480 –> 00:48:20,680
\nthis is actually going to
\nhappen? <\/p>\n

888
\n00:48:21,400 –> 00:48:23,120
\nYou think Jesus didn’t have
\nthose days? <\/p>\n

889
\n00:48:24,720 –> 00:48:29,080
\nIf you are the Son of God, if
\nyou really think you are the Son<\/p>\n

890
\n00:48:29,080 –> 00:48:34,640
\nof God, go on, prove it, test
\nit, give me the evidence. <\/p>\n

891
\n00:48:35,520 –> 00:48:38,000
\nCan you imagine, Brunt sisters,
\nhow that would have weighed on <\/p>\n

892
\n00:48:38,000 –> 00:48:42,120
\nthe Lord’s mind, knowing that he
\nwas going to have to hang on a <\/p>\n

893
\n00:48:42,120 –> 00:48:44,320
\ncross?
\nWouldn’t it be good to jump off <\/p>\n

894
\n00:48:44,320 –> 00:48:48,280
\nthe pinnacle of the temple and
\njust feel the angels beneath his<\/p>\n

895
\n00:48:48,280 –> 00:48:52,360
\nfeet so that when he did have to
\ngo on the cross, he would have <\/p>\n

896
\n00:48:52,360 –> 00:48:54,120
\nsome confidence that the Lord
\nwill be there? <\/p>\n

897
\n00:48:54,840 –> 00:48:58,520
\nHe wouldn’t need to rely
\nentirely on his faith and his <\/p>\n

898
\n00:48:58,520 –> 00:49:01,000
\nunderstanding of all the things
\nhis mother has been teaching him<\/p>\n

899
\n00:49:01,000 –> 00:49:03,880
\nall these years.
\nIf you are the Son of God, I <\/p>\n

900
\n00:49:03,880 –> 00:49:07,240
\ndon’t know about you bread and
\nsisters, but I don’t think we’ve<\/p>\n

901
\n00:49:07,240 –> 00:49:09,720
\never been tempted in that way
\never. <\/p>\n

902
\n00:49:11,000 –> 00:49:13,000
\nAnd the Lord found that
\nsuffering. <\/p>\n

903
\n00:49:14,200 –> 00:49:17,320
\nIf you are the Son of God every
\nday of his life, do you really <\/p>\n

904
\n00:49:17,320 –> 00:49:19,000
\nthink you need to do this,
\nJesus? <\/p>\n

905
\n00:49:19,560 –> 00:49:21,880
\nDo you really need to think you
\nneed to live in this way and put<\/p>\n

906
\n00:49:21,880 –> 00:49:25,280
\nyourself under this sense of
\ndiscipline and constriction in <\/p>\n

907
\n00:49:25,280 –> 00:49:26,720
\nyour life?
\nDo you really think that’s <\/p>\n

908
\n00:49:26,960 –> 00:49:29,320
\nthat’s really going to make an
\neternal difference for these <\/p>\n

909
\n00:49:29,320 –> 00:49:33,040
\npeople?
\nAnd Genobran says it mattered so<\/p>\n

910
\n00:49:33,040 –> 00:49:36,560
\nmuch to the Lord that he ended
\nup on his knees in prayer with <\/p>\n

911
\n00:49:36,560 –> 00:49:41,560
\nstrong crying and tears because
\nnot sinning to the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n

912
\n00:49:41,560 –> 00:49:45,680
\nChrist, not giving in to those
\ntemptations affected him to that<\/p>\n

913
\n00:49:45,680 –> 00:49:50,400
\nextent.
\nThat’s suffering, that’s <\/p>\n

914
\n00:49:50,400 –> 00:49:54,840
\nsuffering to to live your life
\nunder that level of discipline <\/p>\n

915
\n00:49:54,840 –> 00:49:58,520
\nand control for 33 years.
\nThat’s a challenge. <\/p>\n

916
\n00:49:59,960 –> 00:50:01,760
\nAnd that must have been painful
\nfor him. <\/p>\n

917
\n00:50:03,240 –> 00:50:06,000
\nAnd I’ve I don’t think I’ve ever
\ngot close Bren Sisters to that <\/p>\n

918
\n00:50:06,000 –> 00:50:08,520
\nin my life.
\nAnd yet what the Lord Jesus is <\/p>\n

919
\n00:50:08,520 –> 00:50:11,600
\nasking us to do, Bren sisters,
\nweek by week, when we come and <\/p>\n

920
\n00:50:11,600 –> 00:50:15,640
\ntake this bread and when we come
\nand drink from his cup, He’s <\/p>\n

921
\n00:50:15,640 –> 00:50:19,120
\nasking us to do as He did for
\nHis sake. <\/p>\n

922
\n00:50:19,120 –> 00:50:22,640
\nGive it a go.
\nTry and elevate your thinking in<\/p>\n

923
\n00:50:22,640 –> 00:50:26,160
\nyour mind when you leave the
\nmemorial meeting on a Sunday or <\/p>\n

924
\n00:50:26,160 –> 00:50:29,720
\nwhenever it might be, Try and
\ngive yourselves in service to <\/p>\n

925
\n00:50:29,720 –> 00:50:32,200
\nGod to the greatest extent that
\nyou can. <\/p>\n

926
\n00:50:32,200 –> 00:50:36,360
\nMake it something that matters
\nto you to discipline your lives <\/p>\n

927
\n00:50:36,360 –> 00:50:39,040
\nand give yourselves in service
\nfor Him. <\/p>\n

928
\n00:50:39,040 –> 00:50:41,280
\nLast reference Hebrews chapter
\n12. <\/p>\n

929
\n00:50:59,240 –> 00:51:01,000
\nAnd again, you know these words
\never so well. <\/p>\n

930
\n00:51:03,200 –> 00:51:05,920
\nWherefore seeing we also
\naccomplished about with so great<\/p>\n

931
\n00:51:05,920 –> 00:51:11,760
\na cloud of witnesses, let us lay
\naside every weight and the sin <\/p>\n

932
\n00:51:11,760 –> 00:51:15,960
\nwhich so easily besets us, and
\nlet us run with patience the <\/p>\n

933
\n00:51:15,960 –> 00:51:19,960
\nrace that is set before us.
\nI once heard a preacher telling <\/p>\n

934
\n00:51:19,960 –> 00:51:23,040
\na story of of a woman.
\nI guess it was an American thing<\/p>\n

935
\n00:51:23,040 –> 00:51:24,280
\nbecause we don’t have them in
\nour country. <\/p>\n

936
\n00:51:24,280 –> 00:51:29,080
\nThis this lady drove into up to
\nher house and she had a number <\/p>\n

937
\n00:51:29,080 –> 00:51:31,160
\nof children and she saw her
\nchildren sitting on the doorstep<\/p>\n

938
\n00:51:31,160 –> 00:51:34,440
\nplaying with skunks.
\nWe don’t have skunks in our <\/p>\n

939
\n00:51:34,440 –> 00:51:36,200
\ncountry.
\nSo I’m relying on you to know <\/p>\n

940
\n00:51:36,200 –> 00:51:39,320
\nwhat that might be like.
\nAnd she was horrified when she <\/p>\n

941
\n00:51:39,320 –> 00:51:42,480
\nsaw it and she jumped out of the
\ncar and she she said, run, <\/p>\n

942
\n00:51:42,480 –> 00:51:45,760
\nchildren run, get away.
\nAnd each one of them picked up a<\/p>\n

943
\n00:51:45,760 –> 00:51:51,440
\nskunk and ran.
\nAnd you know, Bren, sisters, the<\/p>\n

944
\n00:51:51,440 –> 00:51:54,360
\nchallenge in our life is sin is
\nlike that. <\/p>\n

945
\n00:51:55,520 –> 00:51:59,760
\nLet us lay aside every weight
\nand the sin that besets us <\/p>\n

946
\n00:51:59,760 –> 00:52:01,920
\ninstead of picking it up and
\nrunning with it everywhere we <\/p>\n

947
\n00:52:01,920 –> 00:52:04,200
\ngo.
\nLet’s have a go at putting it <\/p>\n

948
\n00:52:04,200 –> 00:52:08,840
\ndown, leaving it behind instead
\nof voluntarily carrying it with <\/p>\n

949
\n00:52:08,840 –> 00:52:11,680
\nus and taking it with us,
\nlooking unto Jesus. <\/p>\n

950
\n00:52:11,680 –> 00:52:15,000
\nAnd here’s the Crooks, verse 2,
\nthe author and finisher of our <\/p>\n

951
\n00:52:15,000 –> 00:52:18,640
\nfaith, who for the joy that was
\nset before him endured the <\/p>\n

952
\n00:52:18,640 –> 00:52:21,760
\ncross, despising the shame, and
\nis set down at the right hand of<\/p>\n

953
\n00:52:21,760 –> 00:52:23,640
\nthe throne of God.
\nAnd here’s the challenge. <\/p>\n

954
\n00:52:23,640 –> 00:52:28,440
\nBrensis is for you and me, for
\nconsider him who endured such <\/p>\n

955
\n00:52:28,440 –> 00:52:30,400
\ncontradiction of sins against
\nhimself. <\/p>\n

956
\n00:52:30,600 –> 00:52:34,240
\nIn case you ever get weary and
\nfaint in your minds, in case you<\/p>\n

957
\n00:52:34,240 –> 00:52:36,880
\never think Brensis, in your
\nlife, you’ve suffered more than <\/p>\n

958
\n00:52:36,880 –> 00:52:39,040
\nanybody.
\nI know we always feel like that,<\/p>\n

959
\n00:52:39,040 –> 00:52:41,600
\ndon’t we, in our lives when when
\nthe chips are down and things <\/p>\n

960
\n00:52:41,600 –> 00:52:43,600
\nare tough, you feel like
\nnobody’s ever gone through this.<\/p>\n

961
\n00:52:43,800 –> 00:52:46,960
\nI’m the only person who in this
\nmoment right now is feeling how <\/p>\n

962
\n00:52:46,960 –> 00:52:49,800
\nI’m feeling.
\nAnd the apostle says, in case <\/p>\n

963
\n00:52:49,800 –> 00:52:52,920
\nyou ever feel that you’ve
\nsuffered more than any, in case <\/p>\n

964
\n00:52:52,920 –> 00:52:55,840
\nyou ever feel that the
\nchallenges and the sacrifices <\/p>\n

965
\n00:52:55,840 –> 00:52:58,920
\nthat are being laid on you in
\nyour life and more than anybody <\/p>\n

966
\n00:52:58,920 –> 00:53:02,480
\nelse has ever had to bear, the
\napostle says, consider him. <\/p>\n

967
\n00:53:03,280 –> 00:53:05,760
\nThat’s why we come to remember
\nHim week by week. <\/p>\n

968
\n00:53:07,320 –> 00:53:10,840
\nYou have not yet resisted unto
\nblood in your strife against <\/p>\n

969
\n00:53:10,840 –> 00:53:13,360
\nsin.
\nOnly the Lord ever had to do <\/p>\n

970
\n00:53:13,360 –> 00:53:16,040
\nthat, and He never calls us to
\ndo that, brother and sisters, <\/p>\n

971
\n00:53:16,040 –> 00:53:18,600
\nfor His sake.
\nHe never calls us to shed our <\/p>\n

972
\n00:53:18,600 –> 00:53:25,000
\nblood in our battle with sin.
\nSome men have done it, but He <\/p>\n

973
\n00:53:25,000 –> 00:53:30,600
\ndoesn’t call us to it.
\nHe just says, take, eat. <\/p>\n

974
\n00:53:31,120 –> 00:53:35,880
\nThis is my body which I have
\ngiven for you, not will give, <\/p>\n

975
\n00:53:36,120 –> 00:53:39,840
\nnot on the cross.
\nI have given this body for 33 <\/p>\n

976
\n00:53:39,840 –> 00:53:44,960
\nyears in service for your sake.
\nAnd if you want to do something <\/p>\n

977
\n00:53:44,960 –> 00:53:51,280
\nremembrance of me, then do this.
\nGive your body in service. <\/p>\n

978
\n00:53:52,240 –> 00:53:54,080
\nYou know it’s not without
\ncoincidence Brent sisters that <\/p>\n

979
\n00:53:54,080 –> 00:53:57,480
\nGod said to Adam that in the
\nsweat of his face he would eat <\/p>\n

980
\n00:53:57,480 –> 00:54:04,240
\nbread and for the Lord Jesus
\nChrist to eat that bread to give<\/p>\n

981
\n00:54:04,240 –> 00:54:10,080
\nhis body in service caused such
\nsweat on his brow that it was <\/p>\n

982
\n00:54:10,080 –> 00:54:14,800
\nlike great drops of blood and
\nBren sisters in our lives. <\/p>\n

983
\n00:54:15,080 –> 00:54:19,440
\nI’m not sure how often we break
\na sweat in eating the bread from<\/p>\n

984
\n00:54:19,440 –> 00:54:24,440
\nthe Lord’s table.
\nThis do in remembrance of me. <\/p>\n

985
\n00:54:25,480 –> 00:54:28,880
\nBut if I am to share, if I am to
\ndeclare, if I am to announce His<\/p>\n

986
\n00:54:28,880 –> 00:54:32,960
\ndeath every time I eat this
\nbread and drink this cup, if I <\/p>\n

987
\n00:54:32,960 –> 00:54:38,520
\nam to declare the Lord’s death,
\nthen I must do an attempt to do <\/p>\n

988
\n00:54:38,520 –> 00:54:42,000
\nand to attempt to elevate my
\nmind to strive to be as love <\/p>\n

989
\n00:54:42,000 –> 00:54:45,760
\nMaster and as God governed in my
\nown life, knowing that in the <\/p>\n

990
\n00:54:45,760 –> 00:54:48,680
\nfailing and in the trying, His
\nweakness will His. <\/p>\n

991
\n00:54:48,720 –> 00:54:52,360
\nMy weakness will still be made
\nperfect by His strength. <\/p>\n

992
\n00:54:52,920 –> 00:54:55,920
\nAnd may it be bridges as week by
\nweek, as we come, and as we <\/p>\n

993
\n00:54:55,920 –> 00:54:57,600
\ntake, and as we eat and as we
\ndrink. <\/p>\n

994
\n00:54:58,040 –> 00:55:02,640
\nMay we declare, may we announce,
\nmay we preach the Lord’s death <\/p>\n
