Class 3 from this series was used in GCT Episode 368.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:19,800 –> 00:00:25,280
\nat the Breaking of Bread, and
\nthis class is entitled The Blood<\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:25,280 –> 00:00:30,040
\nof the Covenant.
\nAnd so we’ll call up our brother<\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:30,040 –> 00:00:33,440
\nJohnny Mannell to give us his
\nfourth class. <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:34,680 –> 00:00:43,800
\nBrother Johnny.
\nThanks Lloyd. <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:43,800 –> 00:00:45,040
\nGood morning brothers and
\nsisters. <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:46,240 –> 00:00:49,320
\nI’m very conscious that one of
\nmy bad habits is a when I either<\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:49,320 –> 00:00:52,600
\nget excited, or B when I know
\nI’m pushing the clock. <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:52,840 –> 00:00:55,680
\nI tend to just speak faster in
\nthe hope that I can get all my <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:55,680 –> 00:00:57,320
\nwords out in the same amount of
\ntime. <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:58,080 –> 00:01:00,200
\nSo I hope you’ve managed to
\nlike, still understand me. <\/p>\n
12
\n00:01:00,200 –> 00:01:04,680
\nI’m conscious that you know this
\ndialect and that kind of thing <\/p>\n
13
\n00:01:04,680 –> 00:01:06,760
\nthat works both ways.
\nI’m sure you have as much <\/p>\n
14
\n00:01:06,760 –> 00:01:09,480
\ndifficulty understanding me as I
\ndo understanding you. <\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:09,480 –> 00:01:11,960
\nSo has it been OK?
\nI’ve not like, baffled you. <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:12,200 –> 00:01:14,840
\nYou’ve managed to understand
\nmost of what I’ve said even when<\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:14,840 –> 00:01:17,320
\nit’s gone really quick.
\nOK, right. <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:18,080 –> 00:01:20,600
\nSo thank you for that.
\nThat’s very kind of you. <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:21,720 –> 00:01:24,160
\nBecause the pace probably is not
\ngoing to slow down on that basis<\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:24,160 –> 00:01:28,200
\nthen.
\nSo let let’s just recap where <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:28,200 –> 00:01:29,760
\nwe’ve been just to keep it in
\nyour mind. <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:29,760 –> 00:01:32,880
\nSo on Sunday when we met for the
\nfirst time, we talked about the <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:32,880 –> 00:01:34,960
\ndemeanour and the mindset of the
\nLord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:34,960 –> 00:01:38,520
\nWhat was it that he wanted them
\nto remember about him as they <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:38,520 –> 00:01:40,240
\nwent into that Last Supper
\ntogether? <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:40,600 –> 00:01:42,640
\nWhat was the demeanour of the
\nLord Jesus Christ and his <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:42,640 –> 00:01:45,240
\nmindset that he wanted them to
\nembrace, that he wanted them to <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:45,240 –> 00:01:48,160
\nshare with him that he wanted
\nthem to have as well? <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:48,160 –> 00:01:50,960
\nMy joy, my peace, be of good
\ncheer. <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:50,960 –> 00:01:54,240
\nI have overcome for the joy set
\nbefore Him all of those things <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:55,560 –> 00:01:58,560
\nand then on Monday we we looked
\nat the the symbols themselves, <\/p>\n
32
\n00:01:58,560 –> 00:02:01,840
\nthe bread and the wine based on
\nJohn’s Gospel there in John six <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:01,840 –> 00:02:03,720
\nwith the feeding of the 5000
\nthe. <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:03,720 –> 00:02:05,560
\nPower of the.
\nWord of God and what it can do <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:05,560 –> 00:02:09,400
\nin a man’s life when he submits
\nto it and tries to employ it in <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:09,400 –> 00:02:13,480
\nhis life as the Lord did in his.
\nAnd the wine at Cana there <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:13,480 –> 00:02:16,120
\npoured out with energy and
\npower. <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:16,120 –> 00:02:18,400
\nThe new wine never tasted
\nanything like it before. <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:18,400 –> 00:02:21,640
\nThis new life that the Lord
\nJesus Christ was offering to us <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:21,840 –> 00:02:24,800
\nand wants us to share and wants
\nus to engage in. <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:25,360 –> 00:02:30,520
\nAnd then yesterday we looked at
\nwhat did we look at yesterday? <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:32,160 –> 00:02:33,960
\nRemind me, what was my theme
\nyesterday? <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:35,120 –> 00:02:39,160
\nSay again, this do that’s right.
\nThere’s too much stuff, isn’t <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:39,160 –> 00:02:42,000
\nthere?
\nThis do in remembrance of me <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:42,000 –> 00:02:46,080
\nwhen the apostle Paul said as
\noften as you eat this bread and <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:46,080 –> 00:02:48,880
\ndrink this cup, you declare the
\nLord’s death. <\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:49,280 –> 00:02:53,120
\nAnd what does it mean then when
\nwe leave the memorial table to <\/p>\n
48
\n00:02:53,120 –> 00:02:55,800
\ndo something in remembrance of
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ? <\/p>\n
49
\n00:02:55,800 –> 00:02:59,160
\nNot just to have been there, but
\nif we want to demonstrate our <\/p>\n
50
\n00:02:59,160 –> 00:03:01,600
\nlove and our appreciation for
\nwhat the Lord has done for us, <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:01,600 –> 00:03:04,640
\nthen there is something
\nincumbent upon us in our lives <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:04,640 –> 00:03:08,280
\nthat we that we do for him.
\nWell, these next two sessions, <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:08,280 –> 00:03:10,040
\ntoday and tomorrow, brother and
\nsisters, we’re going to kind of <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:10,040 –> 00:03:13,040
\ngo underground a little bit.
\nThese two kind of come as a pair<\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:13,040 –> 00:03:14,840
\nnow, today and tomorrow.
\nAnd we’re going to go into the <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:14,840 –> 00:03:17,880
\nOld Testament and today we’re
\npicking up on the words of the <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:17,880 –> 00:03:20,600
\nLord Jesus, which you’ll have
\nnoticed there in Exodus 24, <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:20,600 –> 00:03:23,240
\nwhich is clearly where he’s
\nquoting from when he took the <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:23,240 –> 00:03:25,280
\ncup.
\nAnd he said, this cup is the new<\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:25,280 –> 00:03:29,520
\ncovenant in my blood, which has
\nbeen poured out for you for the <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:29,520 –> 00:03:32,400
\nfor the remission of sins.
\nAnd he’s making a clear <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:32,400 –> 00:03:35,800
\nreference back, isn’t he, to
\nthis moment that Lloyd read for <\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:35,800 –> 00:03:38,000
\nus in Exodus 24.
\nMoses took the blood and <\/p>\n
64
\n00:03:38,000 –> 00:03:41,000
\nsprinkled it there in verse 8 on
\nthe people and said, behold, the<\/p>\n
65
\n00:03:41,000 –> 00:03:43,800
\nblood of the covenant which the
\nLord has made with you <\/p>\n
66
\n00:03:43,800 –> 00:03:47,640
\nconcerning all these words.
\nThis, this cup is the new <\/p>\n
67
\n00:03:47,640 –> 00:03:51,440
\ncovenant in my blood which is
\npoured out for you. <\/p>\n
68
\n00:03:51,760 –> 00:03:53,920
\nSo what was it, Brin sisters,
\nabout the blood of the old <\/p>\n
69
\n00:03:53,920 –> 00:03:56,400
\ncovenant?
\nWhat was happening here at Sinai<\/p>\n
70
\n00:03:56,400 –> 00:04:00,800
\nwhere Moses shared this
\nextraordinary set of scenarios <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:00,800 –> 00:04:03,400
\nwith the children of Israel that
\nthe Lord wanted us to think <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:03,400 –> 00:04:07,120
\nabout and focus on as we watch
\nhim and witness him sharing the <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:07,120 –> 00:04:10,520
\ncup with his disciples and as we
\nshare in it ourselves. <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:10,680 –> 00:04:13,280
\nWhat was happening here at Sinai
\nI want to do with you this <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:13,280 –> 00:04:16,760
\nmorning is take you on a journey
\nfrom Exodus 24 all the way <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:16,760 –> 00:04:19,320
\nthrough to Exodus 34.
\nNow, that sounds like a bit of <\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:19,320 –> 00:04:21,320
\nan epic, doesn’t it?
\nWe’re going to go very quickly. <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:21,600 –> 00:04:23,720
\nI’m desperately going to try and
\nnot get bogged down in the <\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:23,720 –> 00:04:26,240
\ndetails, and I want you to do
\nthe same. <\/p>\n
80
\n00:04:26,440 –> 00:04:27,240
\nWhat?
\nI want you to. <\/p>\n
81
\n00:04:27,240 –> 00:04:29,920
\nLook, for as we go through these
\nchapters and what was happening <\/p>\n
82
\n00:04:29,920 –> 00:04:33,040
\nhere at Sinai is the big picture
\nof what’s going on. <\/p>\n
83
\n00:04:33,240 –> 00:04:35,720
\nWhat is it that Moses is trying
\nto convey to the people? <\/p>\n
84
\n00:04:35,720 –> 00:04:38,960
\nWhat are the issues that he’s
\ndealing with so that we can see <\/p>\n
85
\n00:04:38,960 –> 00:04:41,760
\nhow it is that the Lord
\nextrapolates them from the Old <\/p>\n
86
\n00:04:41,760 –> 00:04:45,480
\nTestament and and hands them to
\nus as he shares the cup with us <\/p>\n
87
\n00:04:45,760 –> 00:04:48,040
\nweek by week.
\nThat’s what we’re going to do. <\/p>\n
88
\n00:04:48,320 –> 00:04:51,080
\nAnd I want to share with you,
\nBrent sisters, that for me, not <\/p>\n
89
\n00:04:51,080 –> 00:04:54,600
\njust the old covenant was made
\nknown to to the people by Moses <\/p>\n
90
\n00:04:54,600 –> 00:04:57,600
\nhere in Exodus, but the new
\ncovenant was as well. <\/p>\n
91
\n00:04:58,800 –> 00:05:00,640
\nI don’t want you to think that
\nthe new covenant was something <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:00,640 –> 00:05:03,400
\nthey had to wait another 3-4
\nthousand years for. <\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:03,400 –> 00:05:06,680
\nIt was right here in Exodus.
\nMoses made it abundantly clear <\/p>\n
94
\n00:05:06,680 –> 00:05:10,440
\nto them what that was.
\nAnd the Lord Jesus was ratifying<\/p>\n
95
\n00:05:10,440 –> 00:05:13,560
\nit there in the in the upper
\nroom with his disciples. <\/p>\n
96
\n00:05:13,840 –> 00:05:16,000
\nIs that OK?
\nAre you ready? <\/p>\n
97
\n00:05:16,680 –> 00:05:18,760
\nRight here we go.
\nCome with me. <\/p>\n
98
\n00:05:18,760 –> 00:05:23,200
\nJust back a couple of pages to
\nExodus 19 and let’s really feel <\/p>\n
99
\n00:05:23,200 –> 00:05:25,800
\nthe flow of what’s what’s
\nhappening here for the children <\/p>\n
100
\n00:05:25,800 –> 00:05:30,280
\nof Israel.
\nThis cup is the new covenant in <\/p>\n
101
\n00:05:30,280 –> 00:05:35,160
\nmy blood.
\nWell, Exodus 19 is very, very <\/p>\n
102
\n00:05:35,160 –> 00:05:36,600
\nexciting.
\nThe children of Israel have <\/p>\n
103
\n00:05:36,600 –> 00:05:41,040
\ncrossed the Red Sea.
\nThey’ve gone through all the <\/p>\n
104
\n00:05:41,040 –> 00:05:43,560
\nexperiences of Passover night
\nthat we were thinking about on <\/p>\n
105
\n00:05:43,560 –> 00:05:45,280
\nSunday.
\nThey’ve arrived in the <\/p>\n
106
\n00:05:45,280 –> 00:05:47,840
\nwilderness.
\nAnd here in Exodus 19, for the <\/p>\n
107
\n00:05:47,840 –> 00:05:51,760
\nfirst time, God is now going to
\nformally speak to his people. <\/p>\n
108
\n00:05:51,760 –> 00:05:55,680
\nAnd it’s an electrifying moment.
\nAll the all the camp of Israel <\/p>\n
109
\n00:05:55,680 –> 00:05:58,080
\narrive at the at the base of
\nMount Sinai. <\/p>\n
110
\n00:05:58,400 –> 00:06:01,960
\nMoses goes up into the mountain,
\nand God is now going to speak to<\/p>\n
111
\n00:06:01,960 –> 00:06:05,160
\nthis newly formed nation, this
\nnew group of people. <\/p>\n
112
\n00:06:05,400 –> 00:06:08,520
\nFor the first time and the words
\nthat he says, brothers, sisters <\/p>\n
113
\n00:06:08,520 –> 00:06:11,520
\nare, are moving in the extreme.
\nJust have a listen to them in <\/p>\n
114
\n00:06:11,520 –> 00:06:14,360
\nthis situation.
\nIt’s the third month since the <\/p>\n
115
\n00:06:14,360 –> 00:06:16,720
\nchildren of Israel have gone
\nforth from the land of Egypt. <\/p>\n
116
\n00:06:16,720 –> 00:06:20,480
\nVerse One in the same day they
\ncome to the wilderness of Sinai.<\/p>\n
117
\n00:06:20,880 –> 00:06:22,960
\nFor they departed from
\nreferendum, and had come to the <\/p>\n
118
\n00:06:22,960 –> 00:06:25,520
\ndesert of Sinai, and pitched in
\nthe wilderness. <\/p>\n
119
\n00:06:25,520 –> 00:06:27,640
\nAnd there Israel camped before
\nthe mount. <\/p>\n
120
\n00:06:28,480 –> 00:06:32,240
\nAnd Moses went up unto God.
\nAnd the Lord called him out of <\/p>\n
121
\n00:06:32,240 –> 00:06:34,840
\nthe mountain, saying, This is
\nwhat I want you to say to the <\/p>\n
122
\n00:06:34,840 –> 00:06:39,520
\nHouse of Jacob, and tell the
\nchildren of Israel, you’ve seen <\/p>\n
123
\n00:06:39,520 –> 00:06:44,000
\nwhat I did to the Egyptians, and
\nhow I bare you on eagle’s wings,<\/p>\n
124
\n00:06:44,000 –> 00:06:48,720
\nand brought you to myself.
\nNow, therefore, if you will obey<\/p>\n
125
\n00:06:48,720 –> 00:06:52,400
\nmy voice indeed, and keep my
\ncovenants, then you’ll be a <\/p>\n
126
\n00:06:52,400 –> 00:06:56,400
\npeculiar treasure, and to me
\nabove all people, for all the <\/p>\n
127
\n00:06:56,440 –> 00:07:00,960
\nearth is mine, and you’ll be to
\nme a Kingdom of priests and a <\/p>\n
128
\n00:07:00,960 –> 00:07:03,080
\nholy nation.
\nThese are the words that you <\/p>\n
129
\n00:07:03,080 –> 00:07:04,760
\nwill speak to the children of
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n
130
\n00:07:04,800 –> 00:07:07,720
\nIsn’t that beautiful?
\nThe very first time Israel have <\/p>\n
131
\n00:07:07,720 –> 00:07:11,840
\never met with God.
\nAnd this is what God wants to do<\/p>\n
132
\n00:07:11,840 –> 00:07:14,080
\nwith them.
\nI’ve brought you on eagle’s <\/p>\n
133
\n00:07:14,080 –> 00:07:16,200
\nwings, he says, and I’ve brought
\nyou to myself. <\/p>\n
134
\n00:07:17,520 –> 00:07:21,280
\nAnd now verse 5, if you will
\nobey my voice and keep my <\/p>\n
135
\n00:07:21,280 –> 00:07:25,120
\ncovenant, then you will be a
\npeculiar treasure unto me above <\/p>\n
136
\n00:07:25,120 –> 00:07:28,280
\nall people, for all the earth is
\nmine, and you will be unto me a <\/p>\n
137
\n00:07:28,280 –> 00:07:30,400
\nKingdom of priests and a holy
\nnation. <\/p>\n
138
\n00:07:30,400 –> 00:07:33,080
\nAnd there was just one.
\nCondition, Bren sisters, upon <\/p>\n
139
\n00:07:33,080 –> 00:07:35,680
\nwhich God could have a
\nrelationship with his people. <\/p>\n
140
\n00:07:36,000 –> 00:07:39,120
\nI will make you into the most
\nextraordinary nation of people <\/p>\n
141
\n00:07:39,480 –> 00:07:43,240
\non the face of the planet, says
\nGod on this one condition. <\/p>\n
142
\n00:07:44,280 –> 00:07:47,760
\nIf you obey my voice and keep my
\ncovenants, then this is what I <\/p>\n
143
\n00:07:47,760 –> 00:07:50,760
\ncan do with you.
\nIf you’re willing to hear my <\/p>\n
144
\n00:07:50,760 –> 00:07:53,480
\nwords and try and engage with
\nthem in your lives and follow <\/p>\n
145
\n00:07:53,480 –> 00:07:56,240
\nthem and believe in them and
\ntrust in them and commit <\/p>\n
146
\n00:07:56,240 –> 00:07:59,520
\nyourselves to them, then we can
\nhave the most extraordinary <\/p>\n
147
\n00:07:59,520 –> 00:08:01,800
\nrelationship.
\nIf you obey my voice and keep my<\/p>\n
148
\n00:08:01,800 –> 00:08:04,200
\ncovenants.
\nThen we will have this kind of <\/p>\n
149
\n00:08:04,200 –> 00:08:06,960
\nrelationship and Moses would
\nlater say there was no other <\/p>\n
150
\n00:08:06,960 –> 00:08:10,160
\nnation on earth ever, ever
\nbefore or ever since that God <\/p>\n
151
\n00:08:10,160 –> 00:08:12,240
\never made an agreement like that
\nwith. <\/p>\n
152
\n00:08:12,960 –> 00:08:15,640
\nIf you will obey my voice and
\nkeep my covenant, then you will <\/p>\n
153
\n00:08:15,640 –> 00:08:20,320
\nbe this special people, this
\nlovely treasure to me above all <\/p>\n
154
\n00:08:20,320 –> 00:08:26,240
\npeople in the earth.
\nSo verse 7, Moses came, called <\/p>\n
155
\n00:08:26,240 –> 00:08:29,680
\nfor the elders of the people,
\nand laid before their faces all <\/p>\n
156
\n00:08:29,680 –> 00:08:31,760
\nthese words which the Lord had
\ncommanded him. <\/p>\n
157
\n00:08:32,320 –> 00:08:35,880
\nAnd all the people answered
\ntogether and said all that the <\/p>\n
158
\n00:08:35,880 –> 00:08:41,159
\nLord has spoken we will do.
\nI just want you to think about <\/p>\n
159
\n00:08:41,159 –> 00:08:43,880
\nthat for a moment.
\nBren Sisters, and how you would <\/p>\n
160
\n00:08:43,880 –> 00:08:48,200
\nhave felt if Moses was standing
\nhere today saying those words to<\/p>\n
161
\n00:08:48,200 –> 00:08:52,320
\nyou and me, if you will obey my
\nvoice and keep my covenant. <\/p>\n
162
\n00:08:52,760 –> 00:08:55,200
\nAnd I don’t think he was
\nmeaning, you know, in some <\/p>\n
163
\n00:08:55,520 –> 00:08:59,320
\nlackadaisical, laissez faire
\nway, he’s saying if you will <\/p>\n
164
\n00:08:59,320 –> 00:09:03,400
\nobey my voice and keep my
\ncovenant, then you will be to me<\/p>\n
165
\n00:09:03,400 –> 00:09:05,160
\nthese special people.
\nHow would you feel? <\/p>\n
166
\n00:09:05,320 –> 00:09:08,280
\nWhat would you have said to
\nMoses if you’d have been in that<\/p>\n
167
\n00:09:08,280 –> 00:09:11,880
\ngreat company?
\nI think I would have been a bit <\/p>\n
168
\n00:09:11,880 –> 00:09:14,400
\nmore reserved about it
\npersonally. <\/p>\n
169
\n00:09:14,640 –> 00:09:18,320
\nAll that the Lord has said, we
\nwill do, they replied. <\/p>\n
170
\n00:09:19,520 –> 00:09:24,040
\nAnd having had some experience
\nof being a disciple and looking <\/p>\n
171
\n00:09:24,040 –> 00:09:26,040
\naround the room, I know you have
\ntwo. <\/p>\n
172
\n00:09:26,640 –> 00:09:29,120
\nYou know, Bren sisters, what a
\nchallenging thing that would be <\/p>\n
173
\n00:09:29,120 –> 00:09:32,920
\nto say.
\nAll that the Lord has said we <\/p>\n
174
\n00:09:32,920 –> 00:09:34,760
\nwill do.
\nI asked you yesterday if you <\/p>\n
175
\n00:09:34,760 –> 00:09:39,000
\nwould consider having a go at
\nhaving a sinless day, right? <\/p>\n
176
\n00:09:39,000 –> 00:09:40,640
\nI don’t know whether today’s
\nthat day for you. <\/p>\n
177
\n00:09:40,640 –> 00:09:42,800
\nHow many of you got it this
\nmorning thinking right, today’s <\/p>\n
178
\n00:09:42,800 –> 00:09:45,520
\nmy day.
\nI’m going to have my sinless day<\/p>\n
179
\n00:09:45,520 –> 00:09:48,840
\ntoday.
\nAll that the Lord has said we <\/p>\n
180
\n00:09:48,960 –> 00:09:51,280
\nwill do.
\nAnd there was a deep problem in <\/p>\n
181
\n00:09:51,280 –> 00:09:52,680
\nthat Ansa Brun sisters wasn’t
\nthere. <\/p>\n
182
\n00:09:53,000 –> 00:09:56,240
\nBecause having a relationship
\nwith God is actually not about <\/p>\n
183
\n00:09:56,240 –> 00:09:58,880
\nall the things that we will do,
\nis it? <\/p>\n
184
\n00:09:59,200 –> 00:10:01,440
\nThat’s going to be one of the
\nfundamental problems now for the<\/p>\n
185
\n00:10:01,440 –> 00:10:04,360
\nrest of Israel’s history that
\nthey are going to struggle with.<\/p>\n
186
\n00:10:04,640 –> 00:10:06,960
\nIt is not about everything that
\nthey will do. <\/p>\n
187
\n00:10:06,960 –> 00:10:09,400
\nGod has already said look at
\nwhat I’ve already done for you, <\/p>\n
188
\n00:10:09,720 –> 00:10:12,640
\nhow I bare you on eagle’s wings
\nand brought you to myself. <\/p>\n
189
\n00:10:12,840 –> 00:10:16,080
\nNow if you will obey my voice
\nand keep my covenant and I guess<\/p>\n
190
\n00:10:16,080 –> 00:10:18,840
\nPrince citizen, I’m just doing
\nJohnny male interpretation here.<\/p>\n
191
\n00:10:19,080 –> 00:10:21,160
\nI’m guessing what God was
\nwanting to hear from the people <\/p>\n
192
\n00:10:21,160 –> 00:10:24,840
\nwas we’re going to do our best.
\nWe’re going to need your mercy, <\/p>\n
193
\n00:10:24,840 –> 00:10:28,400
\nLord, Father, to bear with us,
\nbut we’re going to do our best. <\/p>\n
194
\n00:10:28,520 –> 00:10:30,240
\nWe’re going to commit to having
\na go. <\/p>\n
195
\n00:10:31,520 –> 00:10:34,520
\nBut they didn’t say that.
\nThey said all that. <\/p>\n
196
\n00:10:34,520 –> 00:10:37,840
\nThe Lord has spoken.
\nWe will do. <\/p>\n
197
\n00:10:38,440 –> 00:10:41,120
\nWe’re going to do it.
\nWe’re going to do it. <\/p>\n
198
\n00:10:41,120 –> 00:10:43,560
\nJust keep a finger in Exodus and
\ncome to one Peter 2. <\/p>\n
199
\n00:10:45,400 –> 00:10:51,680
\nThe apostle Peter when he wrote
\na letter to his friends and to <\/p>\n
200
\n00:10:51,680 –> 00:10:54,760
\nthe ecclesias of the 1st century
\nand the ecclesia of today. <\/p>\n
201
\n00:10:54,760 –> 00:11:01,200
\nHe, he, he picks up on that
\nincident in Exodus 24 in one <\/p>\n
202
\n00:11:01,200 –> 00:11:04,360
\nPeter 2 and verse 9.
\nAnd notice how Peter has just <\/p>\n
203
\n00:11:04,360 –> 00:11:08,120
\nchanged the emphasis a little
\nbit from what the children of <\/p>\n
204
\n00:11:08,120 –> 00:11:10,760
\nIsrael said there on on the on
\nthe desert floor. <\/p>\n
205
\n00:11:13,320 –> 00:11:17,320
\nOne Peter 2 and verse 9.
\nYou are a chosen generation, he <\/p>\n
206
\n00:11:17,320 –> 00:11:19,360
\nsays.
\nAnd this is he’s writing this to<\/p>\n
207
\n00:11:19,360 –> 00:11:22,160
\nthe Ecclesia Brains sisters.
\nHe’s writing this to you and me.<\/p>\n
208
\n00:11:22,280 –> 00:11:24,720
\nHe’s saying you are now those
\npeople who were standing there <\/p>\n
209
\n00:11:24,720 –> 00:11:27,160
\non the wilderness floor.
\nYou are those people in this <\/p>\n
210
\n00:11:27,160 –> 00:11:29,880
\nrelationship with God that was
\nhappening right back there in <\/p>\n
211
\n00:11:29,880 –> 00:11:32,760
\nExodus 24.
\nYou are a chosen generation, a <\/p>\n
212
\n00:11:32,760 –> 00:11:36,800
\nroyal priesthood, a holy nation,
\na peculiar people, that you <\/p>\n
213
\n00:11:36,800 –> 00:11:41,720
\nshould show forth the praises of
\nhim who has called you out of <\/p>\n
214
\n00:11:41,720 –> 00:11:45,000
\ndarkness into his marvellous
\nlight, which in time past were <\/p>\n
215
\n00:11:45,000 –> 00:11:48,280
\nnot a people, but are now the
\npeople of God, which had not <\/p>\n
216
\n00:11:48,280 –> 00:11:51,080
\nobtained mercy, but now have
\nobtained mercy. <\/p>\n
217
\n00:11:51,080 –> 00:11:53,440
\nAnd do you notice how Peter has
\njust flipped the emphasis? <\/p>\n
218
\n00:11:53,440 –> 00:11:56,320
\nThis wasn’t about you, he says.
\nIt’s not you who’s done this. <\/p>\n
219
\n00:11:56,640 –> 00:11:59,920
\nYou are here and you are in this
\nrelationship to show forth the <\/p>\n
220
\n00:11:59,920 –> 00:12:03,240
\npraises of Him.
\nHe’s the one who’s done it, not <\/p>\n
221
\n00:12:03,240 –> 00:12:06,200
\nyou.
\nIt’s not we bread and sisters <\/p>\n
222
\n00:12:06,200 –> 00:12:08,040
\nwho have done all that the Lord
\nhas asked for. <\/p>\n
223
\n00:12:08,040 –> 00:12:09,960
\nIs it?
\nYou know, in your own life and <\/p>\n
224
\n00:12:09,960 –> 00:12:11,480
\nin your own heart.
\nAnd I know it in mine. <\/p>\n
225
\n00:12:11,480 –> 00:12:14,360
\nIt’s not me that’s done it.
\nIt’s not me that’s found myself <\/p>\n
226
\n00:12:14,360 –> 00:12:16,360
\nin this relationship with.
\nGod, it’s through nothing that <\/p>\n
227
\n00:12:16,360 –> 00:12:19,600
\nI’ve done.
\nYou are here to show forth the <\/p>\n
228
\n00:12:19,600 –> 00:12:23,880
\npraises of Him who has called
\nyou out of darkness into His <\/p>\n
229
\n00:12:23,880 –> 00:12:25,800
\nmarvellous light.
\nIt’s not all. <\/p>\n
230
\n00:12:25,800 –> 00:12:30,200
\nThat we have been able to do.
\nIt’s all that he has done for <\/p>\n
231
\n00:12:30,200 –> 00:12:33,160
\nus.
\nAnd God was teaching them, <\/p>\n
232
\n00:12:33,160 –> 00:12:36,680
\nbrother and sisters here in
\nExodus 24, and it was going to <\/p>\n
233
\n00:12:36,680 –> 00:12:38,760
\nbe a painful journey.
\nIt was going to be a painful <\/p>\n
234
\n00:12:38,760 –> 00:12:42,160
\nlesson that actually they
\ncouldn’t do all that the Lord <\/p>\n
235
\n00:12:42,160 –> 00:12:43,280
\nhad commanded.
\nIt wasn’t. <\/p>\n
236
\n00:12:43,800 –> 00:12:46,480
\nThey didn’t have the.
\nCapacity in them to do it just <\/p>\n
237
\n00:12:46,480 –> 00:12:49,280
\nbe as you come back to Exodus
\ncome back on the two Deuteronomy<\/p>\n
238
\n00:12:49,840 –> 00:12:54,320
\nchapter 5 and the lovely thing
\nis brother and sisters and it’s <\/p>\n
239
\n00:12:54,680 –> 00:12:57,120
\nit’s a great insight into the
\npatience of God. <\/p>\n
240
\n00:12:58,120 –> 00:13:00,480
\nEven when they were standing
\nthere saying all that the Lord <\/p>\n
241
\n00:13:00,480 –> 00:13:06,080
\nhas spoken.
\nWe will do God knew that they <\/p>\n
242
\n00:13:06,080 –> 00:13:08,720
\ndidn’t have it in them to do it
\neither. <\/p>\n
243
\n00:13:11,840 –> 00:13:17,280
\nDeuteronomy chapter 5 and verse
\n28 when the Lord heard the voice<\/p>\n
244
\n00:13:17,280 –> 00:13:21,880
\nof your words when you spoke to
\nme all that the Lord has said we<\/p>\n
245
\n00:13:21,880 –> 00:13:23,680
\nwill do.
\nThat’s what he’s referring to. <\/p>\n
246
\n00:13:24,480 –> 00:13:26,720
\nWhen the Lord heard the voice of
\nyour words when you spoke to me <\/p>\n
247
\n00:13:26,720 –> 00:13:29,360
\nand the Lord said to me, I’ve
\nheard the voice of the words of <\/p>\n
248
\n00:13:29,360 –> 00:13:31,280
\nthese people which they’ve
\nspoken to thee. <\/p>\n
249
\n00:13:31,600 –> 00:13:33,960
\nThey have well said in all that
\nthey have spoken. <\/p>\n
250
\n00:13:34,160 –> 00:13:37,080
\nSo it was, it was a great thing
\nto say all that the Lord has <\/p>\n
251
\n00:13:37,080 –> 00:13:37,920
\nsaid.
\nWe will do all. <\/p>\n
252
\n00:13:37,920 –> 00:13:41,200
\nIt was a great thing to say.
\nVerse 29. <\/p>\n
253
\n00:13:41,880 –> 00:13:45,120
\nOh, that there were such a heart
\nin them that they would fear me <\/p>\n
254
\n00:13:45,640 –> 00:13:48,560
\nand keep all my commandments
\nalways, that it might be well <\/p>\n
255
\n00:13:48,560 –> 00:13:51,120
\nwith them and with their
\nchildren forever. <\/p>\n
256
\n00:13:52,040 –> 00:13:56,440
\nSo maybe the intention was
\nthere, maybe they thought they <\/p>\n
257
\n00:13:56,440 –> 00:13:59,320
\nhad the capacity to do it.
\nMaybe it was well-intentioned. <\/p>\n
258
\n00:13:59,320 –> 00:14:01,120
\nIt was a great thing to say,
\nsaid God. <\/p>\n
259
\n00:14:01,320 –> 00:14:04,560
\nWhen I asked them if they could
\ndo it, if you will obey my voice<\/p>\n
260
\n00:14:04,560 –> 00:14:07,120
\nand keep my covenant, when I,
\nwhen I asked them if they could <\/p>\n
261
\n00:14:07,120 –> 00:14:09,600
\ndo it and they said all that the
\nLord has spoken, we will do. <\/p>\n
262
\n00:14:09,600 –> 00:14:12,080
\nIt was a great intention.
\nIt was a great desire. <\/p>\n
263
\n00:14:12,760 –> 00:14:14,760
\nI just wish, said God, it had
\nbeen matched. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:14:15,800 –> 00:14:18,040
\nBy a willingness and a
\nperseverance to actually see it <\/p>\n
265
\n00:14:18,040 –> 00:14:22,040
\nthrough.
\nBut it wasn’t, it wasn’t, and <\/p>\n
266
\n00:14:22,040 –> 00:14:25,000
\nthat’s a really important thing.
\nI want you to pick up on Bren <\/p>\n
267
\n00:14:25,000 –> 00:14:28,600
\nSisters today because whilst we
\nmight turn it week by week to <\/p>\n
268
\n00:14:28,600 –> 00:14:31,600
\nthe memorial service, and whilst
\nwe might see all that the Lord <\/p>\n
269
\n00:14:31,600 –> 00:14:35,080
\nhas done for us, we might have
\nexperienced the eagle wings on <\/p>\n
270
\n00:14:35,080 –> 00:14:37,880
\nwhich God has brought us to
\nhimself and we might say inside <\/p>\n
271
\n00:14:37,880 –> 00:14:39,320
\nof ourselves, right, I’m going
\nto do it. <\/p>\n
272
\n00:14:39,320 –> 00:14:42,320
\nI’m going to commit myself, I’m
\ngoing to make this the best that<\/p>\n
273
\n00:14:42,320 –> 00:14:45,720
\nI can be.
\nYou know as well as I do, Bren <\/p>\n
274
\n00:14:45,720 –> 00:14:48,040
\nSisters, that things have a
\nhabit of falling down around our<\/p>\n
275
\n00:14:48,040 –> 00:14:50,760
\nears.
\nAnd what I want us to see this <\/p>\n
276
\n00:14:50,760 –> 00:14:54,360
\nmorning, brethren, is is how God
\nresolves that situation in the <\/p>\n
277
\n00:14:54,360 –> 00:14:57,080
\nmost beautiful way.
\nGod is now going to bring these <\/p>\n
278
\n00:14:57,080 –> 00:15:00,560
\npeople back to himself even
\nthough he knows that they can’t <\/p>\n
279
\n00:15:00,760 –> 00:15:04,600
\ndo themselves all that the Lord
\nhas asked of them. <\/p>\n
280
\n00:15:05,280 –> 00:15:08,680
\nSo let’s with that background,
\nthen coming back to Exodus 24, <\/p>\n
281
\n00:15:11,000 –> 00:15:14,720
\nbecause in order to begin
\nteaching them that lesson, Moses<\/p>\n
282
\n00:15:14,720 –> 00:15:19,920
\ndoes something very unusual,
\nvery graphic, very visual. <\/p>\n
283
\n00:15:19,920 –> 00:15:24,440
\nMoses was a great user of visual
\nimagery in his teaching, just as<\/p>\n
284
\n00:15:24,440 –> 00:15:27,200
\nthe Lord Jesus was.
\nAnd now he employs a very <\/p>\n
285
\n00:15:27,200 –> 00:15:31,760
\nvisible sign, a pattern of
\nthings that he’s seen presented <\/p>\n
286
\n00:15:31,760 –> 00:15:34,560
\nto him by God.
\nAnd he, he lays it all out now <\/p>\n
287
\n00:15:34,560 –> 00:15:36,240
\nin front of the men and women of
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n
288
\n00:15:37,360 –> 00:15:39,280
\nAnd I’m going to suggest to you,
\nbrother sisters, you just watch <\/p>\n
289
\n00:15:39,280 –> 00:15:42,760
\nthese details that Moses has the
\nfirst prototype breaking of <\/p>\n
290
\n00:15:42,760 –> 00:15:46,880
\nbread right here on Mount Sinai
\nwith the children of Israel. <\/p>\n
291
\n00:15:48,080 –> 00:15:51,920
\nHere we go.
\nVerse 3, Moses told all the <\/p>\n
292
\n00:15:51,920 –> 00:15:55,800
\npeople all the words of the Lord
\nand all the judgements, and all <\/p>\n
293
\n00:15:55,800 –> 00:16:00,040
\nthe people answered with one
\nvoice and said all the words <\/p>\n
294
\n00:16:00,040 –> 00:16:03,360
\nwhich the Lord has said will we
\ndo? <\/p>\n
295
\n00:16:03,360 –> 00:16:05,800
\nHere it is again.
\nIt’s a repeated phrase right <\/p>\n
296
\n00:16:05,800 –> 00:16:08,120
\nhere in these early chapters in
\nExodus. <\/p>\n
297
\n00:16:08,120 –> 00:16:10,360
\nAll the Lord has said we will
\ndo. <\/p>\n
298
\n00:16:10,360 –> 00:16:13,560
\nSo verse 4, Moses wrote all the
\nwords of the Lord, and he rose <\/p>\n
299
\n00:16:13,560 –> 00:16:16,920
\nup early in the morning and
\nbuilt an altar under the hill <\/p>\n
300
\n00:16:18,040 –> 00:16:21,960
\nand 12 pillars according to the
\n12 tribes of Israel. <\/p>\n
301
\n00:16:22,600 –> 00:16:24,440
\nAnd he sent young men of the
\nchildren of Israel, which <\/p>\n
302
\n00:16:24,440 –> 00:16:26,800
\noffered burnt offerings and
\nsacrificed peace offerings of <\/p>\n
303
\n00:16:26,800 –> 00:16:29,440
\noxen to the Lord.
\nAnd Moses took off the blood, <\/p>\n
304
\n00:16:29,440 –> 00:16:32,480
\nput it in basins, and half the
\nblood he sprinkled on the altar,<\/p>\n
305
\n00:16:32,480 –> 00:16:34,680
\nand he took the book of the
\ncovenant and read in the <\/p>\n
306
\n00:16:34,680 –> 00:16:37,080
\naudience of the people.
\nAnd they said again, all that <\/p>\n
307
\n00:16:37,080 –> 00:16:39,480
\nthe Lord has said, will we do
\nand be obedient. <\/p>\n
308
\n00:16:40,120 –> 00:16:42,200
\nAnd Moses took the blood,
\nsprinkled it on the people, and <\/p>\n
309
\n00:16:42,200 –> 00:16:44,520
\nsaid, Behold the blood of the
\ncovenant which the Lord has made<\/p>\n
310
\n00:16:44,520 –> 00:16:47,040
\nwith you concerning all these
\nwords. <\/p>\n
311
\n00:16:47,040 –> 00:16:48,800
\nNow notice the details then
\nbrains, sisters. <\/p>\n
312
\n00:16:49,120 –> 00:16:52,640
\nFirst of all, verse 4, Moses
\nwrites down everything that God <\/p>\n
313
\n00:16:52,640 –> 00:16:56,360
\nhas said.
\nAnd in a way, brains, it seems <\/p>\n
314
\n00:16:56,360 –> 00:16:59,000
\nto me this is this is the
\ntestimony of what Jesus will <\/p>\n
315
\n00:16:59,000 –> 00:17:00,520
\nultimately do.
\nYou remember when we talked <\/p>\n
316
\n00:17:00,520 –> 00:17:04,960
\nabout the bread there in John 6,
\nJesus was describing himself as <\/p>\n
317
\n00:17:04,960 –> 00:17:10,240
\nthe the word of God made flesh
\nall that the Lord has said Jesus<\/p>\n
318
\n00:17:10,240 –> 00:17:13,000
\ndid do, right?
\nHe was the one. <\/p>\n
319
\n00:17:13,359 –> 00:17:15,240
\nAnd Moses now documents it all
\ndown. <\/p>\n
320
\n00:17:15,240 –> 00:17:17,240
\nAnd Jesus says I am the one who
\ndid it. <\/p>\n
321
\n00:17:18,319 –> 00:17:20,760
\nAnd Moses now documents
\neverything, and then he builds <\/p>\n
322
\n00:17:20,760 –> 00:17:24,440
\nan altar.
\nIt was nothing to do with the <\/p>\n
323
\n00:17:24,440 –> 00:17:26,880
\naltar of the Tabernacle that
\nhasn’t even been built yet. <\/p>\n
324
\n00:17:27,280 –> 00:17:29,640
\nThe instructions for it aren’t
\ngoing to come until the next <\/p>\n
325
\n00:17:29,640 –> 00:17:32,720
\nchapter.
\nThis is just an earthen altar <\/p>\n
326
\n00:17:32,760 –> 00:17:37,880
\nthat Moses builds and he
\nsurrounds it by 12 pillars. <\/p>\n
327
\n00:17:38,600 –> 00:17:40,800
\nThat’s interesting, isn’t it?
\nSo can you see the scene? <\/p>\n
328
\n00:17:41,280 –> 00:17:45,160
\nYou’ve got an altar there in the
\nmiddle and it’s surrounded by 12<\/p>\n
329
\n00:17:45,160 –> 00:17:47,200
\npillars.
\nAnd what I want to suggest you <\/p>\n
330
\n00:17:47,200 –> 00:17:48,880
\nthis morning, brother and
\nsisters, without getting bogged <\/p>\n
331
\n00:17:48,880 –> 00:17:51,840
\ndown in the detail, in the
\ndetails, is what you are seeing <\/p>\n
332
\n00:17:51,840 –> 00:17:53,520
\nhere is a picture of the
\nbreaking of bread. <\/p>\n
333
\n00:17:53,520 –> 00:17:55,600
\nThis is the this is the the
\nupper room. <\/p>\n
334
\n00:17:55,600 –> 00:17:58,880
\nThis is the Last Supper.
\nYou remember in Galatians, the <\/p>\n
335
\n00:17:58,880 –> 00:18:02,240
\napostle Paul describes the 12
\napostles as pillars. <\/p>\n
336
\n00:18:02,600 –> 00:18:06,560
\nHe actually uses that term and
\nhere are 12 pillars surrounding <\/p>\n
337
\n00:18:06,560 –> 00:18:11,640
\nthis altar.
\nNow in verse 5, he sent young <\/p>\n
338
\n00:18:11,640 –> 00:18:15,320
\nmen of the children of Israel
\nwho offered the offerings and <\/p>\n
339
\n00:18:15,320 –> 00:18:18,560
\nsacrificed the peace offerings.
\nWho were those young men? <\/p>\n
340
\n00:18:18,560 –> 00:18:21,160
\nBren sisters who Moses sent to
\ndo that? <\/p>\n
341
\n00:18:21,800 –> 00:18:25,600
\nThey weren’t the priests or the
\nLevites in the in the typical <\/p>\n
342
\n00:18:25,600 –> 00:18:27,520
\nsense.
\nOf Exodus because they haven’t <\/p>\n
343
\n00:18:27,520 –> 00:18:31,040
\nbeen ordained yet at this point
\nin in Israel’s history, the <\/p>\n
344
\n00:18:31,040 –> 00:18:33,840
\nfamily of Aaron has not been
\nselected for the priesthood and <\/p>\n
345
\n00:18:33,840 –> 00:18:36,880
\nthe Levites have not been chosen
\nto be those specific people. <\/p>\n
346
\n00:18:37,080 –> 00:18:40,000
\nThese young men Bran sisters
\noffering the offerings are the <\/p>\n
347
\n00:18:40,000 –> 00:18:43,040
\nfirst borns aren’t they the ones
\nwho have been redeemed on <\/p>\n
348
\n00:18:43,040 –> 00:18:45,240
\nPassover night?
\nThey were each of the first <\/p>\n
349
\n00:18:45,240 –> 00:18:47,840
\nborns was the priest for their
\nfamily, just as it has always <\/p>\n
350
\n00:18:47,840 –> 00:18:50,440
\nbeen, right the way through
\nGenesis, right the time from <\/p>\n
351
\n00:18:50,440 –> 00:18:53,200
\nwhen Abel took the offering on
\nbehalf of him and of his <\/p>\n
352
\n00:18:53,200 –> 00:18:56,360
\nbrother, even though he was the
\nyounger, right from the time <\/p>\n
353
\n00:18:56,360 –> 00:18:59,200
\nwhen Joseph wore the priestly
\ngarment for his family. <\/p>\n
354
\n00:18:59,880 –> 00:19:02,560
\nAnd the first borns right down
\ntheir generations have taken on <\/p>\n
355
\n00:19:02,560 –> 00:19:04,680
\nthe role of the priesthood.
\nAnd here they are. <\/p>\n
356
\n00:19:04,920 –> 00:19:08,120
\nAnd I suggest you Bren sisters,
\nthese young men that Moses has <\/p>\n
357
\n00:19:08,120 –> 00:19:11,680
\ngot making these offerings are
\nthe first borns of the families <\/p>\n
358
\n00:19:11,680 –> 00:19:14,840
\nof Israel and every family had a
\nrepresentative there. <\/p>\n
359
\n00:19:16,440 –> 00:19:18,880
\nAnd you remember, Bren sisters,
\nhow the Apostle in Hebrews 12 <\/p>\n
360
\n00:19:18,880 –> 00:19:23,600
\ndescribes the ecclesia today as
\nthe Church of the first born, <\/p>\n
361
\n00:19:24,480 –> 00:19:27,000
\nthose who’ve been redeemed, the
\necclesia of God. <\/p>\n
362
\n00:19:27,000 –> 00:19:30,320
\nAnd here they were with the 12
\npillars and they were there <\/p>\n
363
\n00:19:30,320 –> 00:19:33,760
\nabout to have a fellowship meal
\nwith Moses there on the <\/p>\n
364
\n00:19:33,760 –> 00:19:37,000
\nmountain.
\nAnd here it gets really <\/p>\n
365
\n00:19:37,000 –> 00:19:40,440
\ninteresting.
\nThen verse 5, they offer burnt <\/p>\n
366
\n00:19:40,440 –> 00:19:44,680
\nofferings and peace offerings.
\nWhy those two? <\/p>\n
367
\n00:19:45,840 –> 00:19:49,080
\nWhy did Moses select
\nspecifically burnt offerings and<\/p>\n
368
\n00:19:49,080 –> 00:19:51,560
\npeace offerings?
\nAnd I’m going to suggest to you <\/p>\n
369
\n00:19:51,560 –> 00:19:53,760
\nthe reason.
\nIt’s a suggestion and nothing <\/p>\n
370
\n00:19:53,760 –> 00:19:55,360
\nmore.
\nI’d be interested to talk with <\/p>\n
371
\n00:19:55,360 –> 00:19:56,800
\nyou about it if you have other
\nviews. <\/p>\n
372
\n00:19:57,920 –> 00:20:00,360
\nThe burnt offering and the peace
\noffering were the only ones that<\/p>\n
373
\n00:20:00,720 –> 00:20:04,240
\nyou would routinely offer bread
\nand wine with in the sacrifices <\/p>\n
374
\n00:20:04,240 –> 00:20:06,920
\nunder the law.
\nThey were the ones that were the<\/p>\n
375
\n00:20:06,920 –> 00:20:10,120
\nfellowship offerings for Israel.
\nThey were the ones that the men <\/p>\n
376
\n00:20:10,120 –> 00:20:12,800
\nand women could share in and
\nparticipate in in in the most <\/p>\n
377
\n00:20:12,800 –> 00:20:15,400
\nunique way.
\nThey were the ones that involved<\/p>\n
378
\n00:20:15,400 –> 00:20:19,440
\nbread and wine when the people
\ncame and offered every time. <\/p>\n
379
\n00:20:20,600 –> 00:20:23,400
\nAnd they were the ones that
\nMoses is offering here. <\/p>\n
380
\n00:20:25,000 –> 00:20:28,760
\nAnd then in verse 6, Moses takes
\nthe blood, and he sprinkles it <\/p>\n
381
\n00:20:28,760 –> 00:20:31,320
\non the altar, and he takes the
\nbook of the covenant that he’s <\/p>\n
382
\n00:20:31,440 –> 00:20:34,400
\nwritten with all the words of
\nGod that they say they’re going <\/p>\n
383
\n00:20:34,400 –> 00:20:36,120
\nto do.
\nHe reads it in the audience of <\/p>\n
384
\n00:20:36,120 –> 00:20:37,960
\nthe people.
\nAnd they repeat all the words <\/p>\n
385
\n00:20:37,960 –> 00:20:40,320
\nthat the Lord has said, Will we
\ndo and be obedient. <\/p>\n
386
\n00:20:40,320 –> 00:20:43,080
\nAnd Moses took the blood and
\nsprinkles it on the people, and <\/p>\n
387
\n00:20:43,080 –> 00:20:45,440
\nsays, Behold the blood of the
\ncovenant which the Lord has made<\/p>\n
388
\n00:20:45,440 –> 00:20:46,800
\nwith you concerning all these
\nwords. <\/p>\n
389
\n00:20:47,000 –> 00:20:49,840
\nAnd he starts sprinkling the
\nblood of these offerings on the <\/p>\n
390
\n00:20:49,840 –> 00:20:53,040
\npeople in a way as if he’s
\nsaying you need to be touched by<\/p>\n
391
\n00:20:53,040 –> 00:20:55,880
\nthe blood of this offering.
\nAnd if you can see Brensis, <\/p>\n
392
\n00:20:55,880 –> 00:20:58,920
\nthere’s this great picture that
\nMoses is orchestrating here on <\/p>\n
393
\n00:20:58,920 –> 00:21:00,840
\nthe on the mountain.
\nIt must have been extraordinary <\/p>\n
394
\n00:21:00,840 –> 00:21:04,000
\nto watch as Moses builds this
\naltar and he sets up these 12 <\/p>\n
395
\n00:21:04,000 –> 00:21:06,920
\npillars and he makes all the
\npeople watch what he’s doing. <\/p>\n
396
\n00:21:07,240 –> 00:21:10,040
\nAnd the Lord Jesus Christ was
\nright there in the centre. <\/p>\n
397
\n00:21:10,360 –> 00:21:14,800
\nIf you want to know what it
\nmeans to to to do all the words <\/p>\n
398
\n00:21:14,800 –> 00:21:17,960
\nthat the Lord has spoken and be
\nobedient, then you need to watch<\/p>\n
399
\n00:21:17,960 –> 00:21:20,840
\nwhat’s going on right here in
\nthe centre of this great scene. <\/p>\n
400
\n00:21:22,480 –> 00:21:24,720
\nBecause there’s only one man,
\nsays Moses, who’s ever going to <\/p>\n
401
\n00:21:24,720 –> 00:21:28,080
\nbe able to do that.
\nAll that the Lord has said we <\/p>\n
402
\n00:21:28,080 –> 00:21:29,720
\nwill do.
\nJust keep a. <\/p>\n
403
\n00:21:29,720 –> 00:21:32,840
\nFinger in Exodus and come back
\nwith me to Hebrews Chapter 9 and<\/p>\n
404
\n00:21:32,840 –> 00:21:37,080
\nlet’s just really grasp what it
\nis that Moses is trying to to <\/p>\n
405
\n00:21:37,080 –> 00:21:49,560
\nconvey to the people.
\nIt’s so annoying, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
406
\n00:21:49,560 –> 00:21:53,080
\nThat Exodus is so brief you
\ndon’t get any of the extra. <\/p>\n
407
\n00:21:53,760 –> 00:21:57,480
\nDiscussion or or or presentation
\nthat Moses might have had to the<\/p>\n
408
\n00:21:57,480 –> 00:22:00,320
\npeople, but I suggest it’s
\nimplicit here in Hebrews that <\/p>\n
409
\n00:22:00,320 –> 00:22:03,280
\nthat’s what Moses was doing.
\nHe what he didn’t just quietly <\/p>\n
410
\n00:22:03,280 –> 00:22:05,840
\nand silently go around building
\nthis altar and putting 12 <\/p>\n
411
\n00:22:05,840 –> 00:22:08,320
\npillars up and making them go
\noff and get offerings in <\/p>\n
412
\n00:22:08,320 –> 00:22:10,520
\nsilence.
\nI believe, for instance, Moses <\/p>\n
413
\n00:22:10,520 –> 00:22:12,880
\nwas telling the people.
\nWhat it is that he was <\/p>\n
414
\n00:22:12,880 –> 00:22:16,480
\nsignifying by what he was doing.
\nHebrews 9, verse 23. <\/p>\n
415
\n00:22:16,760 –> 00:22:20,440
\nIt was necessary that the the
\npatterns of things in heaven <\/p>\n
416
\n00:22:21,040 –> 00:22:25,440
\nshould be purified with these
\nthings that Moses was doing, but<\/p>\n
417
\n00:22:25,440 –> 00:22:28,200
\nthe heavenly things themselves
\nwith better sacrifices than <\/p>\n
418
\n00:22:28,200 –> 00:22:30,240
\nthese.
\nFor Christ is not entered into <\/p>\n
419
\n00:22:30,240 –> 00:22:33,920
\nthe holy places made with hands
\nwhich are figures of the true, <\/p>\n
420
\n00:22:34,720 –> 00:22:37,520
\nbut into heaven itself now to
\nappear in the presence of God <\/p>\n
421
\n00:22:37,520 –> 00:22:39,760
\nfor us.
\nAnd I can’t believe, Princess, <\/p>\n
422
\n00:22:39,760 –> 00:22:42,680
\nis that Moses wasn’t explaining
\nthat to the people, that what he<\/p>\n
423
\n00:22:42,680 –> 00:22:45,280
\nwas doing, this great visual aid
\nthat he laid out in front of <\/p>\n
424
\n00:22:45,280 –> 00:22:47,920
\nthem was a pattern.
\nIt was a copy of something that <\/p>\n
425
\n00:22:47,920 –> 00:22:51,200
\nGod had shown to him personally.
\nThere is going to come a man who<\/p>\n
426
\n00:22:51,200 –> 00:22:54,800
\nwill eventually be the ultimate
\nburnt offering, the only man who<\/p>\n
427
\n00:22:54,800 –> 00:22:57,520
\nwill do all the words that the
\nLord has spoken. <\/p>\n
428
\n00:22:58,400 –> 00:23:01,240
\nAnd one day he will stand as a
\nrepresentative for all of these <\/p>\n
429
\n00:23:01,240 –> 00:23:04,160
\n12 tribes, these pillars that
\nare sitting here now. <\/p>\n
430
\n00:23:04,160 –> 00:23:06,560
\nAnd you need to be associated
\nwith that man. <\/p>\n
431
\n00:23:06,880 –> 00:23:10,200
\nIt will be the life of that man
\nthat you need to embrace and <\/p>\n
432
\n00:23:10,200 –> 00:23:10,880
\ngrasp.
\nHold off. <\/p>\n
433
\n00:23:10,880 –> 00:23:14,120
\nWho is going to do it for you?
\nAnd Moses is sprinkling the <\/p>\n
434
\n00:23:14,120 –> 00:23:17,720
\nblood of this offering and he’s
\nsaying to them, I believe Bren <\/p>\n
435
\n00:23:17,720 –> 00:23:20,320
\nsisters, you need to understand
\nthe pattern that God has <\/p>\n
436
\n00:23:20,320 –> 00:23:23,240
\nordained.
\nThis is just a picture of what <\/p>\n
437
\n00:23:23,360 –> 00:23:25,560
\none day is going to be made a
\nreality. <\/p>\n
438
\n00:23:26,600 –> 00:23:28,960
\nThis is what needs to be.
\nDone in the heavenly things. <\/p>\n
439
\n00:23:28,960 –> 00:23:31,960
\nAnd I’m just sharing with you a
\nvisual aid of one day what it’s <\/p>\n
440
\n00:23:31,960 –> 00:23:35,240
\ngoing to look like.
\nI wonder, Abrensis, as if as the<\/p>\n
441
\n00:23:35,240 –> 00:23:38,760
\nLord Jesus sat at that table
\nwith those 12 men, he had a <\/p>\n
442
\n00:23:38,760 –> 00:23:42,800
\ngreat picture in his mind of
\nMoses standing there with his 12<\/p>\n
443
\n00:23:42,800 –> 00:23:46,480
\npillars and that altar in the
\nmiddle with the burnt offering <\/p>\n
444
\n00:23:47,240 –> 00:23:49,320
\nand the blood being sprinkled on
\nthe people. <\/p>\n
445
\n00:23:49,400 –> 00:23:54,000
\nThis cup is the new covenant in
\nMy blood, and I want you to be <\/p>\n
446
\n00:23:54,000 –> 00:23:58,160
\nassociated with this.
\nI am the one who has done all <\/p>\n
447
\n00:23:58,160 –> 00:24:00,880
\nthe words which the Lord has
\nspoken. <\/p>\n
448
\n00:24:03,360 –> 00:24:08,040
\nJust come back to verse 19,
\nstill in Hebrews 9, for when <\/p>\n
449
\n00:24:08,040 –> 00:24:13,360
\nMoses had spoken every precept
\nto all the people according to <\/p>\n
450
\n00:24:13,360 –> 00:24:14,480
\nthe Law.
\nIsn’t that lovely? <\/p>\n
451
\n00:24:14,680 –> 00:24:18,400
\nMoses didn’t just write these
\ncomplicated things down, he <\/p>\n
452
\n00:24:18,400 –> 00:24:22,360
\nexplained to them.
\nEvery precept to the people. <\/p>\n
453
\n00:24:24,000 –> 00:24:26,920
\nHe took the blood of calves and
\ngoats with water and scarlet <\/p>\n
454
\n00:24:26,920 –> 00:24:30,800
\nwool and hyssop and sprinkled
\nthe book and the people saying <\/p>\n
455
\n00:24:31,480 –> 00:24:35,040
\nthis is the blood of the
\ncovenant which God has enjoined <\/p>\n
456
\n00:24:35,120 –> 00:24:37,760
\nunto you.
\nAnd these are this is a pattern.<\/p>\n
457
\n00:24:37,760 –> 00:24:40,600
\nThis is a picture.
\nAnd one day men and women of <\/p>\n
458
\n00:24:40,600 –> 00:24:43,120
\nIsrael, you need to understand
\nwhat God is going to do. <\/p>\n
459
\n00:24:43,920 –> 00:24:46,840
\nYou need to understand the
\nextent to which God requires all<\/p>\n
460
\n00:24:46,840 –> 00:24:50,400
\nthe words that He has spoken to
\nbe done and you can’t do it. <\/p>\n
461
\n00:24:50,960 –> 00:24:52,360
\nYou don’t have the capacity
\nwithin you. <\/p>\n
462
\n00:24:52,360 –> 00:24:55,160
\nAnd if you do, then you need to
\nlook and understand that the <\/p>\n
463
\n00:24:55,160 –> 00:24:57,160
\nextent to which God requires it
\nof you. <\/p>\n
464
\n00:24:58,480 –> 00:25:01,240
\nAnd you need to understand one
\nday there will come a man who <\/p>\n
465
\n00:25:01,240 –> 00:25:05,920
\nyou need to be associated with
\nwho will do it for you and with <\/p>\n
466
\n00:25:05,920 –> 00:25:09,200
\nyou.
\nMaybe it was, for instance, that<\/p>\n
467
\n00:25:09,200 –> 00:25:12,840
\nMoses even explained to them
\nabout the Lord Jesus Christ, the<\/p>\n
468
\n00:25:12,840 –> 00:25:15,960
\nseed of Abraham, Isaac and
\nJacob, the one who had been <\/p>\n
469
\n00:25:15,960 –> 00:25:20,160
\npromised for generations, and
\nhow in him, not in Abraham, in <\/p>\n
470
\n00:25:20,160 –> 00:25:24,640
\nhis seed, all nations of the
\nearth would one day be blessed. <\/p>\n
471
\n00:25:25,160 –> 00:25:27,400
\nWell, Brent says that was the
\nold covenant right there. <\/p>\n
472
\n00:25:27,560 –> 00:25:30,080
\nThat was the old covenant being
\nratified by Moses with the <\/p>\n
473
\n00:25:30,080 –> 00:25:31,520
\nblood.
\nSprinkled on all the. <\/p>\n
474
\n00:25:31,520 –> 00:25:35,280
\nPeople now we need to see the
\nnew covenants come back to <\/p>\n
475
\n00:25:35,280 –> 00:25:41,080
\nExodus 24.
\nI know I’m I’m, I’m rapidly <\/p>\n
476
\n00:25:41,080 –> 00:25:43,200
\ntaking you through it, but I
\ndon’t want you to get bogged <\/p>\n
477
\n00:25:43,200 –> 00:25:46,280
\ndown in the details.
\nJust see the big picture because<\/p>\n
478
\n00:25:46,280 –> 00:25:49,040
\nthe big picture is going to
\ncarry right on now as they leave<\/p>\n
479
\n00:25:49,040 –> 00:25:58,980
\nthis memorial table right here
\non Mount Sinai, Exodus 24. <\/p>\n
480
\n00:26:01,580 –> 00:26:04,460
\nLet’s come down in verse 15.
\nI want you to notice what <\/p>\n
481
\n00:26:04,460 –> 00:26:06,780
\nhappens next.
\nMoses has shared this memorial <\/p>\n
482
\n00:26:06,900 –> 00:26:11,280
\nmeal with the elders of Israel
\nand the first borns who’ve been <\/p>\n
483
\n00:26:11,280 –> 00:26:15,040
\nthere preparing the offerings
\nand now he’s going to leave <\/p>\n
484
\n00:26:15,040 –> 00:26:18,880
\nthem.
\nVerse 15 Moses went up into the <\/p>\n
485
\n00:26:18,880 –> 00:26:23,440
\nmount and a cloud covered the
\nmount and the glory of the Lord <\/p>\n
486
\n00:26:23,440 –> 00:26:26,400
\nabode on Mount Sinai, and the
\ncloud covered it 6 days. <\/p>\n
487
\n00:26:26,680 –> 00:26:29,200
\nAnd the 7th day he called unto
\nMoses out of the midst of the <\/p>\n
488
\n00:26:29,200 –> 00:26:31,560
\ncloud.
\nAnd the sight of the glory of <\/p>\n
489
\n00:26:31,560 –> 00:26:35,120
\nthe Lord was like devouring fire
\non the top of the mount in the <\/p>\n
490
\n00:26:35,120 –> 00:26:37,920
\neyes of the children of Israel.
\nAnd Moses went into the midst of<\/p>\n
491
\n00:26:37,920 –> 00:26:39,600
\nthe cloud and got up into the
\nmount. <\/p>\n
492
\n00:26:39,960 –> 00:26:43,280
\nAnd he was in the mount 40 days
\nand 40 nights. <\/p>\n
493
\n00:26:43,720 –> 00:26:45,600
\nAnd I want you to see the scene
\nof what’s happening here. <\/p>\n
494
\n00:26:45,600 –> 00:26:48,360
\nNow, Bren sisters, did it ring
\nany bells with you in verse 15? <\/p>\n
495
\n00:26:48,680 –> 00:26:51,880
\nMoses went up into the mount and
\na cloud covered the mount. <\/p>\n
496
\n00:26:52,520 –> 00:26:55,680
\nMoses ascending up.
\nAnd he’s now going to go up into<\/p>\n
497
\n00:26:55,680 –> 00:26:57,720
\nthe presence of God, into the
\ncloud. <\/p>\n
498
\n00:26:58,400 –> 00:27:00,320
\nAnd I want to suggest with you,
\nand I want you to watch this <\/p>\n
499
\n00:27:00,320 –> 00:27:03,160
\ncarefully, Bren sisters, that as
\nMoses has shared this memorial <\/p>\n
500
\n00:27:03,400 –> 00:27:07,080
\nfeast with the elders of Israel
\nand the first borns, we’re now <\/p>\n
501
\n00:27:07,080 –> 00:27:09,720
\ngoing to see in picture the
\nascension of the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
502
\n00:27:09,720 –> 00:27:13,040
\nChrist.
\nHe ascends up into the cloud for<\/p>\n
503
\n00:27:13,040 –> 00:27:16,960
\n40 days and 40 nights to be in
\nthe presence of God. <\/p>\n
504
\n00:27:17,560 –> 00:27:19,120
\nAnd I want to.
\nSuggest to you we’re having a <\/p>\n
505
\n00:27:19,120 –> 00:27:24,240
\npicture here made of the
\noffering of Jesus in the upper <\/p>\n
506
\n00:27:24,240 –> 00:27:27,040
\nroom, the breaking of bread, and
\nnow his ascension. <\/p>\n
507
\n00:27:27,360 –> 00:27:29,440
\nNotice what Moses said in verse
\n14. <\/p>\n
508
\n00:27:30,120 –> 00:27:34,720
\nHe said unto the elders, Tarry
\nye here for us until we come <\/p>\n
509
\n00:27:34,720 –> 00:27:37,480
\nagain unto you.
\nAaron and her are with you. <\/p>\n
510
\n00:27:37,520 –> 00:27:40,880
\nIf any man have a matter to do,
\nlet him come unto them. <\/p>\n
511
\n00:27:40,880 –> 00:27:43,480
\nSo I want you to wait for me.
\nI’ll be back. <\/p>\n
512
\n00:27:44,480 –> 00:27:47,560
\nIsn’t that lovely?
\nAnd and Moses now going away in <\/p>\n
513
\n00:27:47,600 –> 00:27:50,720
\ninto a far country, as the Lord
\nJesus would describe in a <\/p>\n
514
\n00:27:50,720 –> 00:27:53,360
\nparable to receive for him a
\nKingdom and he’s going to <\/p>\n
515
\n00:27:53,360 –> 00:27:55,120
\nreturn.
\nAnd he said to the elders of <\/p>\n
516
\n00:27:55,120 –> 00:27:57,960
\nIsrael now wait, whatever
\nhappens, if you have any <\/p>\n
517
\n00:27:57,960 –> 00:27:59,680
\nproblems.
\nAaron and her are going to <\/p>\n
518
\n00:27:59,680 –> 00:28:01,840
\nresolve it with you, but I want
\nyou to wait. <\/p>\n
519
\n00:28:01,960 –> 00:28:03,840
\nHang on.
\nI’m going to come back. <\/p>\n
520
\n00:28:04,120 –> 00:28:06,640
\nWait here.
\nAnd, and there was a great <\/p>\n
521
\n00:28:06,640 –> 00:28:09,480
\npromise of his return.
\nNow, then, brother, sisters, as <\/p>\n
522
\n00:28:09,480 –> 00:28:13,560
\nyou turn to Exodus 32, what did
\nthey do in his absence? <\/p>\n
523
\n00:28:14,560 –> 00:28:18,080
\nDid they wait or did they not
\nwait? <\/p>\n
524
\n00:28:20,800 –> 00:28:25,080
\nAnd as you come to Exodus 32, I
\nwant you to notice really <\/p>\n
525
\n00:28:25,080 –> 00:28:27,800
\ncarefully the words that Moses
\nchooses in the very opening <\/p>\n
526
\n00:28:27,800 –> 00:28:29,920
\nverses.
\nAnd you know this scene, Moses <\/p>\n
527
\n00:28:29,920 –> 00:28:33,720
\nis now about to arrive back down
\nat the at the base of Mount <\/p>\n
528
\n00:28:33,720 –> 00:28:36,840
\nSinai, having been 40 days and
\n40 nights in the presence of <\/p>\n
529
\n00:28:36,840 –> 00:28:41,080
\nGod.
\nAnd the words that Moses chooses<\/p>\n
530
\n00:28:41,080 –> 00:28:44,880
\nhere in verse one are really
\nimportant when the people saw <\/p>\n
531
\n00:28:44,880 –> 00:28:48,560
\nthat Moses delayed to come.
\nDown out of the mount. <\/p>\n
532
\n00:28:48,640 –> 00:28:51,640
\nWhy does he use that word when
\nthe people saw that Moses <\/p>\n
533
\n00:28:51,640 –> 00:28:54,080
\ndelayed to come down out of the
\nmount And it’s brethren, <\/p>\n
534
\n00:28:54,080 –> 00:28:55,880
\nsisters, the Lord Jesus quotes
\nfrom it, doesn’t he? <\/p>\n
535
\n00:28:56,280 –> 00:28:58,800
\nThey said, My Lord delays his
\ncoming. <\/p>\n
536
\n00:28:58,960 –> 00:29:02,040
\nThat’s what they said.
\nMoses had gone up there having <\/p>\n
537
\n00:29:02,040 –> 00:29:04,920
\nbroken bread with them and
\nshared with them all the wonders<\/p>\n
538
\n00:29:04,920 –> 00:29:07,720
\nof the covenant, what God was
\ngoing to do with them, what He <\/p>\n
539
\n00:29:07,720 –> 00:29:10,160
\nrequired of them.
\nAll that the Lord has said we <\/p>\n
540
\n00:29:10,160 –> 00:29:11,800
\nwill do.
\nDo you remember how emphatic <\/p>\n
541
\n00:29:11,800 –> 00:29:14,480
\nthey’ve been about that three
\ntimes already this morning? <\/p>\n
542
\n00:29:14,480 –> 00:29:16,440
\nWe’ve read it, and there are
\nmore that we haven’t. <\/p>\n
543
\n00:29:16,680 –> 00:29:19,760
\nAll that the Lord has said we
\nwill do and be obedient with one<\/p>\n
544
\n00:29:19,760 –> 00:29:22,440
\nvoice.
\nAnd Moses says, OK, if that’s <\/p>\n
545
\n00:29:22,440 –> 00:29:25,560
\nwhat you’re willing to do, let’s
\nshare a meal as a token of it <\/p>\n
546
\n00:29:25,760 –> 00:29:28,160
\nthat you’re committing your
\nlives into the hands of God. <\/p>\n
547
\n00:29:28,320 –> 00:29:31,280
\nAnd now I’m going up to be with
\nhim and to receive the Kingdom <\/p>\n
548
\n00:29:31,480 –> 00:29:34,480
\nfrom his hand.
\nAnd I want you to wait, hang on <\/p>\n
549
\n00:29:34,480 –> 00:29:36,800
\nand and be patient for my
\nreturn. <\/p>\n
550
\n00:29:37,960 –> 00:29:44,120
\nAnd what they said was my Lord.
\nDelays his coming and when they <\/p>\n
551
\n00:29:44,120 –> 00:29:46,760
\nsaw that Moses delayed to come
\ndown out of the mount, they <\/p>\n
552
\n00:29:46,760 –> 00:29:49,880
\ngathered themselves together
\ninto Aaron and said up make us <\/p>\n
553
\n00:29:49,880 –> 00:29:53,200
\ngods which shall go before us
\nfor As for this Moses, the man <\/p>\n
554
\n00:29:53,200 –> 00:29:54,520
\nwho brought us out of the land
\nof Egypt. <\/p>\n
555
\n00:29:54,520 –> 00:29:58,720
\nWe don’t know what’s become of
\nhim and they couldn’t wait. <\/p>\n
556
\n00:29:58,720 –> 00:30:03,600
\nBren sisters, what happened to
\nall the Lord has said we will do<\/p>\n
557
\n00:30:03,640 –> 00:30:07,720
\nwhat Where’s it gone And Bren
\nsisters, although it’s not as <\/p>\n
558
\n00:30:07,720 –> 00:30:12,160
\novert as this in our daily lives
\nit happens, doesn’t it? <\/p>\n
559
\n00:30:13,360 –> 00:30:15,960
\nWe talked about it yesterday.
\nSometimes the reality of the <\/p>\n
560
\n00:30:15,960 –> 00:30:19,760
\nreturn of the Lord Jesus Christ
\nand it’s implications and it’s <\/p>\n
561
\n00:30:19,760 –> 00:30:23,600
\nchallenge in your life and mine
\nsometimes gets a little bit hazy<\/p>\n
562
\n00:30:23,600 –> 00:30:26,640
\nand a bit foggy and it sometimes
\nstarts sitting at the back of <\/p>\n
563
\n00:30:26,640 –> 00:30:29,160
\nour minds instead of the of at
\nthe front, doesn’t it? <\/p>\n
564
\n00:30:30,280 –> 00:30:35,720
\nMy law delays his coming and all
\nsorts of things began to happen.<\/p>\n
565
\n00:30:35,720 –> 00:30:38,080
\nKeep your finger in Exodus.
\nI hope your fingers are not too <\/p>\n
566
\n00:30:38,080 –> 00:30:44,120
\ntired this morning coming over
\nto Acts 7, because Stephen gives<\/p>\n
567
\n00:30:44,120 –> 00:30:46,960
\nus an insight into what was
\ngoing on in their minds when <\/p>\n
568
\n00:30:46,960 –> 00:31:01,810
\nthey said that,
\nand he reinforces that Moses was<\/p>\n
569
\n00:31:01,810 –> 00:31:04,010
\na prototype of the Lord Jesus
\nChrist. <\/p>\n
570
\n00:31:04,330 –> 00:31:12,570
\nActs 737 This is that Moses who?
\nSaid to the children of Israel a<\/p>\n
571
\n00:31:12,570 –> 00:31:16,130
\nprophet will the Lord God raise
\nup unto you among your brethren,<\/p>\n
572
\n00:31:16,130 –> 00:31:19,730
\nlike unto me him shall ye hear?
\nIsn’t that lovely? <\/p>\n
573
\n00:31:19,890 –> 00:31:23,320
\nStephen says Moses was was
\nprototyping the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
574
\n00:31:23,320 –> 00:31:26,720
\nChrist and Moses himself had
\nsaid one day the Lord God is <\/p>\n
575
\n00:31:26,720 –> 00:31:29,240
\ngoing to raise up a man from
\namong your brethren and he will <\/p>\n
576
\n00:31:29,240 –> 00:31:32,800
\nbe like me, a man who would
\nshare with them that great <\/p>\n
577
\n00:31:32,800 –> 00:31:36,200
\nmemorial feast and ascend up to
\ninto the clouds to be with God <\/p>\n
578
\n00:31:36,440 –> 00:31:38,800
\nin order to bring a Kingdom back
\nfor these people. <\/p>\n
579
\n00:31:40,000 –> 00:31:44,600
\nThis is he verse 38, who was in
\nthe church in the wilderness <\/p>\n
580
\n00:31:45,040 –> 00:31:47,360
\nwith the Angel which spake him
\nin the Mount Sinai. <\/p>\n
581
\n00:31:47,840 –> 00:31:50,800
\nAnd with our fathers, who
\nreceived the lively oracles to <\/p>\n
582
\n00:31:50,800 –> 00:31:55,920
\ngive unto us, to whom our
\nfathers would not obey, but they<\/p>\n
583
\n00:31:55,920 –> 00:32:00,480
\nthrust him from them, and in
\ntheir hearts turned back again <\/p>\n
584
\n00:32:00,480 –> 00:32:04,200
\nto Egypt, saying unto Aaron,
\nMake us gods to go before us. <\/p>\n
585
\n00:32:04,200 –> 00:32:06,960
\nFor As for this Moses who
\nbrought us out of the land of <\/p>\n
586
\n00:32:06,960 –> 00:32:09,280
\nEgypt, we don’t know what’s
\nbecome of him and what I want <\/p>\n
587
\n00:32:09,280 –> 00:32:10,280
\nto.
\nSuggest to you, Brendan, is, is <\/p>\n
588
\n00:32:10,280 –> 00:32:13,280
\nwhat’s going on there?
\nWhat Moses, what Stephen, sorry,<\/p>\n
589
\n00:32:13,280 –> 00:32:16,680
\nis telling us is that they they
\nwere actually rejecting Moses as<\/p>\n
590
\n00:32:16,680 –> 00:32:20,240
\nbeing their leader.
\nThey thrust him from them in <\/p>\n
591
\n00:32:20,240 –> 00:32:22,360
\ntheir hearts.
\nI mean, they didn’t do it <\/p>\n
592
\n00:32:22,360 –> 00:32:24,400
\nliterally, did they?
\nMoses was up in the mountain <\/p>\n
593
\n00:32:24,680 –> 00:32:27,440
\nwith God.
\nHe wasn’t there, but they thrust<\/p>\n
594
\n00:32:27,440 –> 00:32:30,520
\nhim from them and said,
\nactually, As for this Moses, <\/p>\n
595
\n00:32:30,800 –> 00:32:32,680
\nwell, we don’t know what’s
\nbecome of him. <\/p>\n
596
\n00:32:34,040 –> 00:32:35,760
\nCome on, let’s head back to
\nEgypt. <\/p>\n
597
\n00:32:35,760 –> 00:32:39,360
\nLet’s make us another captain
\nand we’ll return back to Egypt. <\/p>\n
598
\n00:32:39,360 –> 00:32:42,840
\nAnd in their hearts, they thrust
\nhim away from them. <\/p>\n
599
\n00:32:42,840 –> 00:32:44,880
\nWhy?
\nBecause they wanted to go back <\/p>\n
600
\n00:32:44,880 –> 00:32:47,200
\nto Egypt.
\nAnd their problem with Moses. <\/p>\n
601
\n00:32:47,520 –> 00:32:49,720
\nMoses was a man who was not
\ngoing to let them go back to <\/p>\n
602
\n00:32:49,720 –> 00:32:51,520
\nEgypt.
\nAnd he was challenging them and <\/p>\n
603
\n00:32:51,520 –> 00:32:54,080
\npushing them and stretching them
\nall the time trying to get <\/p>\n
604
\n00:32:54,080 –> 00:32:56,560
\nEgypt.
\nOut of them and as soon as he <\/p>\n
605
\n00:32:56,560 –> 00:32:59,320
\nwas gone, as soon as he turned
\nhis back that that that <\/p>\n
606
\n00:32:59,440 –> 00:33:02,760
\ninfluence wasn’t there anymore
\nand the urge to go back to Egypt<\/p>\n
607
\n00:33:02,760 –> 00:33:07,560
\nwasn’t challenged and back they
\nwent and they thrust him from <\/p>\n
608
\n00:33:07,560 –> 00:33:12,840
\nthem when when they said to
\nAaron up make us gods. <\/p>\n
609
\n00:33:12,840 –> 00:33:16,280
\nAnd again, Bensit says the
\nexhortation is clear. <\/p>\n
610
\n00:33:16,280 –> 00:33:18,080
\nIsn’t it?
\nIt’s not as overt as this in <\/p>\n
611
\n00:33:18,080 –> 00:33:21,640
\ndaily life, but when there are
\nthings that we want to do, when <\/p>\n
612
\n00:33:21,640 –> 00:33:24,400
\nthere are aspects of our
\ncharacters that we want to <\/p>\n
613
\n00:33:24,400 –> 00:33:28,520
\nbecome, it’s really easy to say
\njust for a moment in our life, <\/p>\n
614
\n00:33:28,520 –> 00:33:29,520
\nisn’t it?
\nDo you know what? <\/p>\n
615
\n00:33:30,280 –> 00:33:33,240
\nAs for this man who brought us
\nout of the land of Egypt, well, <\/p>\n
616
\n00:33:33,760 –> 00:33:35,000
\nwe don’t know what’s become of
\nhim. <\/p>\n
617
\n00:33:36,120 –> 00:33:40,040
\nMy Lord delays his coming.
\nCome on, let’s go back to Egypt.<\/p>\n
618
\n00:33:40,040 –> 00:33:43,000
\nJust just for a moment.
\nLet’s just taste a little bit of<\/p>\n
619
\n00:33:43,000 –> 00:33:44,880
\nit, enjoy a little bit of it, go
\nback to it. <\/p>\n
620
\n00:33:44,880 –> 00:33:48,040
\nHe’s not here.
\nIt’s difficult trying to live <\/p>\n
621
\n00:33:48,040 –> 00:33:51,120
\ninto into these circumstances
\nwhen He’s not here driving us <\/p>\n
622
\n00:33:51,120 –> 00:33:53,880
\nand pushing us.
\nHow important, Brents, it is <\/p>\n
623
\n00:33:53,880 –> 00:33:57,400
\nweek by week that we can
\nremember all that the Lord has <\/p>\n
624
\n00:33:57,440 –> 00:34:00,760
\nsaid.
\nWill we do and be obedient? <\/p>\n
625
\n00:34:00,760 –> 00:34:05,760
\nWell, you know what happens.
\nExodus 32 as Moses arrives back <\/p>\n
626
\n00:34:05,760 –> 00:34:15,159
\ndown from the mountain.
\nVerse 19 of Exodus 32. <\/p>\n
627
\n00:34:19,800 –> 00:34:22,639
\nIt came to pass as soon as Moses
\ncame near the camp and he saw <\/p>\n
628
\n00:34:22,639 –> 00:34:25,760
\nthe calf and the dancing and
\nMoses anger waxed hot and he <\/p>\n
629
\n00:34:25,760 –> 00:34:29,040
\ncast the tables out of his hands
\nand broke them beneath them out.<\/p>\n
630
\n00:34:29,320 –> 00:34:31,880
\nAnd he took the calf which they
\nhad made and burnt it with fire <\/p>\n
631
\n00:34:31,880 –> 00:34:34,719
\nand ground it to powder, strawed
\nit on the water and made the <\/p>\n
632
\n00:34:34,719 –> 00:34:39,239
\nchildren of Israel drink it.
\nAnd and it’s a sad scene. <\/p>\n
633
\n00:34:39,239 –> 00:34:41,840
\nBren sisters, what, what the
\nchildren of Israel have been <\/p>\n
634
\n00:34:41,840 –> 00:34:44,040
\ndoing.
\nThey made this golden calf, as <\/p>\n
635
\n00:34:44,040 –> 00:34:47,480
\nyou know, I’m just trying to lay
\nmy my eyes on it. <\/p>\n
636
\n00:34:47,480 –> 00:34:50,480
\nHere we go.
\nVerse 7, the children of Israel <\/p>\n
637
\n00:34:50,480 –> 00:34:51,960
\nsays God, they’ve corrupted
\nthemselves. <\/p>\n
638
\n00:34:51,960 –> 00:34:54,679
\nThey’ve turned out of the way,
\nthey’ve made a molten calf and <\/p>\n
639
\n00:34:54,679 –> 00:34:57,080
\nworshipped it.
\nThey’ve sacrificed unto it, <\/p>\n
640
\n00:34:57,080 –> 00:35:00,560
\nsaying, these be thy gods and
\nGeneva and says, as you read <\/p>\n
641
\n00:35:00,720 –> 00:35:03,760
\nExodus 32, what you discover is
\nthey’d not just done that, <\/p>\n
642
\n00:35:04,120 –> 00:35:06,040
\nthey’d also built an altar.
\nThere it is. <\/p>\n
643
\n00:35:06,040 –> 00:35:09,400
\nVerse 5, These be thy gods of
\nIsrael which have brought you <\/p>\n
644
\n00:35:09,400 –> 00:35:11,400
\napart the land of Egypt.
\nAnd when Aaron saw it, he built <\/p>\n
645
\n00:35:11,400 –> 00:35:13,920
\nan altar before it.
\nAnd Aaron made a proclamation <\/p>\n
646
\n00:35:13,920 –> 00:35:15,600
\nand said tomorrow is a feast to
\nthe Lord. <\/p>\n
647
\n00:35:15,800 –> 00:35:18,960
\nAnd they rose up early and burnt
\nofferings and offered burnt <\/p>\n
648
\n00:35:18,960 –> 00:35:22,080
\nofferings and peace offerings.
\nDo you see what’s happening? <\/p>\n
649
\n00:35:22,080 –> 00:35:24,840
\nThey’ve got a golden calf and
\nAaron’s desperately trying to <\/p>\n
650
\n00:35:24,840 –> 00:35:27,400
\nmanage the situation.
\nAnd he’s built an altar and <\/p>\n
651
\n00:35:27,400 –> 00:35:30,400
\nthey’re offering burnt offerings
\nand peace offerings at the same <\/p>\n
652
\n00:35:30,400 –> 00:35:32,200
\ntime as worshipping the golden
\ncalf. <\/p>\n
653
\n00:35:33,040 –> 00:35:35,120
\nAnd we’ll see tomorrow.
\nBrent says why the apostle Paul <\/p>\n
654
\n00:35:35,120 –> 00:35:38,200
\nmakes such a big issue about you
\ncan’t share at the table of the <\/p>\n
655
\n00:35:38,200 –> 00:35:41,720
\nLord and at the table of demons
\nbecause there they were <\/p>\n
656
\n00:35:41,720 –> 00:35:44,480
\nworshipping the golden calf and
\nat the same time there in verse <\/p>\n
657
\n00:35:44,480 –> 00:35:47,160
\n6, they’re offering burnt
\nofferings and peace offerings <\/p>\n
658
\n00:35:47,320 –> 00:35:50,160
\nand they’ve got everything all
\nmixed up, that breaking of bread<\/p>\n
659
\n00:35:50,160 –> 00:35:52,840
\nthat they had a few moments ago
\nback there in Exodus 24. <\/p>\n
660
\n00:35:53,040 –> 00:35:55,480
\nHas now got all mixed up with
\nother things. <\/p>\n
661
\n00:35:57,240 –> 00:36:00,520
\nAnd the apostle Paul said you do
\nthat in your lives and it can’t <\/p>\n
662
\n00:36:00,520 –> 00:36:03,480
\nhappen, it won’t work.
\nAnd there’s no wonder Brand <\/p>\n
663
\n00:36:03,480 –> 00:36:07,120
\nsisters, the meekest man in all
\nthe earth, got angry, lost his <\/p>\n
664
\n00:36:07,120 –> 00:36:11,800
\ntemper in a royal way and broke
\nthose tablets of stone at the <\/p>\n
665
\n00:36:11,800 –> 00:36:14,880
\nbase of the mountain.
\nAnd I don’t think Brent Sisters,<\/p>\n
666
\n00:36:14,880 –> 00:36:18,280
\nMoses broke those stones purely
\nin anger. <\/p>\n
667
\n00:36:19,240 –> 00:36:20,800
\nI mean, there was a lot of anger
\nbehind it. <\/p>\n
668
\n00:36:20,800 –> 00:36:23,120
\nI think those stones went to
\nwent to the floor with a pretty <\/p>\n
669
\n00:36:23,120 –> 00:36:26,160
\nbig thud.
\nBut he was doing it to make a <\/p>\n
670
\n00:36:26,160 –> 00:36:29,800
\npoint to the people.
\nAll that the Lord has said, you <\/p>\n
671
\n00:36:29,800 –> 00:36:33,760
\nsaid we will do and be obedient.
\nAnd this is what God asked you <\/p>\n
672
\n00:36:33,760 –> 00:36:36,600
\nto do.
\nAnd look at it already it’s <\/p>\n
673
\n00:36:36,600 –> 00:36:38,480
\ngone.
\nEverything’s gone. <\/p>\n
674
\n00:36:38,480 –> 00:36:41,040
\nThis great covenant that you
\nmade with God has been broken, <\/p>\n
675
\n00:36:41,840 –> 00:36:44,240
\nand he did it as a symbol of the
\nfact of what they’d done with <\/p>\n
676
\n00:36:44,240 –> 00:36:48,320
\ntheir relationship to God.
\nIt had been broken to pieces and<\/p>\n
677
\n00:36:48,320 –> 00:36:51,920
\nfallen apart.
\nNow then, brothers and sisters, <\/p>\n
678
\n00:36:51,920 –> 00:36:54,440
\nwhat I want us to do then you’ve
\nyou’ve seen them make the <\/p>\n
679
\n00:36:54,440 –> 00:36:56,840
\ncovenant with God all that the
\nLord has said we will do. <\/p>\n
680
\n00:36:57,080 –> 00:37:00,160
\nYou’ve seen them share the meal
\nas a as a testimony of that. <\/p>\n
681
\n00:37:00,160 –> 00:37:03,800
\nAnd now you’ve seen it all
\nproperly come crashing down to <\/p>\n
682
\n00:37:03,800 –> 00:37:06,000
\npieces.
\nTheir relationship with God is <\/p>\n
683
\n00:37:06,000 –> 00:37:07,800
\ngone.
\nIt’s broken, it’s lost. <\/p>\n
684
\n00:37:08,560 –> 00:37:11,120
\nNow I want you to see, Brent,
\nsisters, how God is going to <\/p>\n
685
\n00:37:11,120 –> 00:37:13,360
\nrepair it.
\nAnd it’s really beautiful, <\/p>\n
686
\n00:37:13,880 –> 00:37:20,680
\nreally, really beautiful.
\nCome with me to Exodus chapter <\/p>\n
687
\n00:37:20,680 –> 00:37:29,670
\n3.
\nDo you remember on Passover <\/p>\n
688
\n00:37:29,670 –> 00:37:33,270
\nnight when the children of
\nIsrael left Egypt? <\/p>\n
689
\n00:37:36,440 –> 00:37:38,160
\nThere was a really important
\ndetail that God asked them to <\/p>\n
690
\n00:37:38,160 –> 00:37:39,760
\ndo.
\nIt feels like a one of those <\/p>\n
691
\n00:37:39,760 –> 00:37:42,520
\nkind of off the cuff side
\nstatements. <\/p>\n
692
\n00:37:42,520 –> 00:37:44,880
\nDo you remember how God said
\njust before you leave, I want <\/p>\n
693
\n00:37:44,880 –> 00:37:48,840
\nyou to go and borrow from your
\nneighbors gold, silver, all the <\/p>\n
694
\n00:37:48,840 –> 00:37:51,760
\nfine garments.
\nAnd do you remember on Passover <\/p>\n
695
\n00:37:51,760 –> 00:37:54,160
\nnight how they did that?
\nThey went and took all the <\/p>\n
696
\n00:37:54,160 –> 00:37:57,920
\nfinery of the Egyptians, all
\ntheir wealth, the the bracelets,<\/p>\n
697
\n00:37:57,920 –> 00:38:02,080
\nthe earrings, the the jewellery,
\nthe fine Egyptian cotton, which <\/p>\n
698
\n00:38:02,080 –> 00:38:05,560
\ntoday still today the Egyptian.
\nCotton is amongst the finest in <\/p>\n
699
\n00:38:05,560 –> 00:38:07,560
\nthe world and they went and took
\nit and took it with them. <\/p>\n
700
\n00:38:08,200 –> 00:38:11,360
\nAnd it sounds like that was just
\na, a passing thing just as they <\/p>\n
701
\n00:38:11,360 –> 00:38:12,720
\nwere leaving.
\nIt’s almost sounds like God <\/p>\n
702
\n00:38:12,720 –> 00:38:15,080
\nsaid, by the way, why don’t you
\njust go and take some some <\/p>\n
703
\n00:38:15,080 –> 00:38:18,000
\nclothes and jewelry with you?
\nWell, it wasn’t like that. <\/p>\n
704
\n00:38:18,120 –> 00:38:20,640
\nThat had been one of the key
\ndetails actually of Passover <\/p>\n
705
\n00:38:20,640 –> 00:38:23,760
\nnight 40 years before Passover
\never happened. <\/p>\n
706
\n00:38:24,240 –> 00:38:30,560
\nExodus chapter 3 and verse 21.
\nAnd here is Moses at the burning<\/p>\n
707
\n00:38:30,560 –> 00:38:34,280
\nBush, right before he’s ever
\neven gone back to Egypt. <\/p>\n
708
\n00:38:34,720 –> 00:38:37,960
\nAnd notice the detail that that
\nGod gives to Moses. <\/p>\n
709
\n00:38:38,960 –> 00:38:42,440
\nI’m going to give this people
\nfavour in the sight of the <\/p>\n
710
\n00:38:42,440 –> 00:38:44,000
\nEgyptians.
\nAnd it will come to pass that <\/p>\n
711
\n00:38:44,000 –> 00:38:46,600
\nwhen you go, you will not go
\nempty. <\/p>\n
712
\n00:38:47,320 –> 00:38:50,680
\nEvery woman will borrow of her
\nneighbor and of her who sojourns<\/p>\n
713
\n00:38:50,680 –> 00:38:54,000
\nin her house, jewels of silver,
\njewels of gold and raiment. <\/p>\n
714
\n00:38:54,440 –> 00:38:57,440
\nAnd you will put them on your
\nsons and on your daughters, and <\/p>\n
715
\n00:38:57,440 –> 00:39:00,280
\nyou will spoil the Egyptians.
\nIsn’t that interesting? <\/p>\n
716
\n00:39:01,000 –> 00:39:04,120
\n40 years before one of the key
\nissues of Passover night, in <\/p>\n
717
\n00:39:04,120 –> 00:39:06,440
\nGod’s mind, the preparation had
\nbeen made. <\/p>\n
718
\n00:39:06,680 –> 00:39:08,480
\nThey were going to be taking
\nthis stuff with them. <\/p>\n
719
\n00:39:09,080 –> 00:39:10,840
\nThis is right here at the
\nBurning Bush. <\/p>\n
720
\n00:39:11,120 –> 00:39:14,320
\nYou’re going to borrow from your
\nneighbors jewels of gold, <\/p>\n
721
\n00:39:14,720 –> 00:39:18,960
\nraiment, silver, and did you
\nnotice what they were to do with<\/p>\n
722
\n00:39:18,960 –> 00:39:20,400
\nit?
\nThis is really important since <\/p>\n
723
\n00:39:20,400 –> 00:39:23,240
\nyou just notice this is a
\nbeautiful point that God makes <\/p>\n
724
\n00:39:24,040 –> 00:39:27,960
\nwhen you take these things.
\nVerse 22 These jewels of silver <\/p>\n
725
\n00:39:27,960 –> 00:39:32,240
\nand jewels of gold and raiment,
\nyou will put them on your sons. <\/p>\n
726
\n00:39:32,240 –> 00:39:35,440
\nAnd on your.
\nDaughters, why do you think that<\/p>\n
727
\n00:39:35,440 –> 00:39:38,200
\nwas?
\nCan you imagine the scene on <\/p>\n
728
\n00:39:38,200 –> 00:39:40,840
\nPassover night as they made
\ntheir way down towards the Red <\/p>\n
729
\n00:39:40,840 –> 00:39:44,880
\nSea, all the little children
\nwearing the jewellery and the <\/p>\n
730
\n00:39:44,880 –> 00:39:47,760
\nfinery of Egypt?
\nCan you imagine, Bren and Sis, <\/p>\n
731
\n00:39:47,760 –> 00:39:50,800
\nif you were parents, if you were
\ngrandparents, watching your <\/p>\n
732
\n00:39:50,800 –> 00:39:54,880
\nchildren and your grandchildren
\nwho’d grown up as slave kids? <\/p>\n
733
\n00:39:55,320 –> 00:39:57,320
\nThey’d never worn fine Egyptian
\ncotton. <\/p>\n
734
\n00:39:57,800 –> 00:40:01,360
\nThey’ve never worn ornaments of
\ngold and silver and bracelets <\/p>\n
735
\n00:40:01,360 –> 00:40:04,320
\nand earrings.
\nAnd now as they make their way <\/p>\n
736
\n00:40:04,320 –> 00:40:07,880
\nacross the waters of the Red Sea
\nwith the, with the moon, you <\/p>\n
737
\n00:40:07,880 –> 00:40:11,040
\nknow, glittering on them through
\nthe water, and all these little <\/p>\n
738
\n00:40:11,040 –> 00:40:14,480
\nkids dragging these beautiful
\nEgyptian clothes in the sand, <\/p>\n
739
\n00:40:15,000 –> 00:40:17,520
\nyou know, bedecked with jewels
\nand finery, it would have. <\/p>\n
740
\n00:40:17,520 –> 00:40:20,120
\nBeen an awesome sight wouldn’t
\nit, to watch your children? <\/p>\n
741
\n00:40:20,120 –> 00:40:22,000
\nWearing all these beautiful
\nthings that. <\/p>\n
742
\n00:40:22,280 –> 00:40:24,160
\nHad it been in any of the
\ncircumstances they were, you’d <\/p>\n
743
\n00:40:24,160 –> 00:40:26,840
\nnever have seen.
\nThese kids had never worn <\/p>\n
744
\n00:40:26,840 –> 00:40:29,240
\nanything like that.
\nWhat was God telling Bren <\/p>\n
745
\n00:40:29,240 –> 00:40:32,400
\nsisters, the men and women of
\nIsrael, by asking them to dress <\/p>\n
746
\n00:40:32,400 –> 00:40:35,080
\nup their children and their
\ngrandchildren in these things? <\/p>\n
747
\n00:40:36,040 –> 00:40:37,920
\nAnd I suggest to you, Bren
\nsisters, what it was, that was <\/p>\n
748
\n00:40:37,920 –> 00:40:40,920
\nwhat God was saying is, well,
\nwhen I look down on my children,<\/p>\n
749
\n00:40:40,920 –> 00:40:44,760
\nthat’s what I see in the
\nredemption that I’ve provided <\/p>\n
750
\n00:40:44,760 –> 00:40:48,520
\nfor my children.
\nI see Princess and princesses, <\/p>\n
751
\n00:40:48,520 –> 00:40:52,520
\nmen and women wearing white
\nlinen, fine white clothes that I<\/p>\n
752
\n00:40:52,520 –> 00:40:54,760
\nhave provided.
\nAnd I want you to see that in <\/p>\n
753
\n00:40:54,760 –> 00:40:57,320
\nyour children.
\nI want you to feel how emotional<\/p>\n
754
\n00:40:57,320 –> 00:41:00,960
\nand how exciting that is as you
\nleave this slave life behind and<\/p>\n
755
\n00:41:00,960 –> 00:41:04,120
\nyou make your way to a new life
\nwearing all these beautiful <\/p>\n
756
\n00:41:04,120 –> 00:41:06,560
\nthings.
\nAnd I want you to put them on <\/p>\n
757
\n00:41:06,560 –> 00:41:09,880
\nyour children.
\nNow then, Bren sisters, as you <\/p>\n
758
\n00:41:09,880 –> 00:41:13,520
\ncome to Exodus 25, what was it
\nthat God had wanted them to do <\/p>\n
759
\n00:41:13,520 –> 00:41:17,360
\nwith it when they arrived on the
\nother side of the Red Sea and <\/p>\n
760
\n00:41:17,360 –> 00:41:19,720
\nthey arrived in the wilderness?
\nWhat were they to do with all <\/p>\n
761
\n00:41:19,720 –> 00:41:24,080
\nthose fine things?
\nAnd here it gets really lovely. <\/p>\n
762
\n00:41:25,440 –> 00:41:27,000
\nAnd just keep saying that to
\nkeep you going. <\/p>\n
763
\n00:41:27,000 –> 00:41:29,800
\nYou’ll have noticed that.
\nAnd it is really lovely when you<\/p>\n
764
\n00:41:29,800 –> 00:41:34,120
\njust see the progression here.
\nExodus 25 The Lord spake unto <\/p>\n
765
\n00:41:34,120 –> 00:41:38,120
\nMoses, saying, Speak unto the
\nchildren of Israel, that they <\/p>\n
766
\n00:41:38,120 –> 00:41:42,640
\nbring me an offering of every
\nman that gives it willingly with<\/p>\n
767
\n00:41:42,640 –> 00:41:45,320
\nhis heart.
\nYou will take my offering, and <\/p>\n
768
\n00:41:46,240 –> 00:41:47,800
\nthis is the offering that you
\nwill take of them. <\/p>\n
769
\n00:41:47,840 –> 00:41:50,920
\nGold, silver, brass, blue,
\npurple, scarlet, fine linen, <\/p>\n
770
\n00:41:50,920 –> 00:41:53,440
\ngoat’s hair, ramskins, and so on
\nand so on. <\/p>\n
771
\n00:41:53,440 –> 00:41:57,160
\nVerse 8 And let them make me a
\nsanctuary, that I may dwell <\/p>\n
772
\n00:41:57,160 –> 00:41:58,800
\namong them.
\nIsn’t that lovely? <\/p>\n
773
\n00:41:58,840 –> 00:42:01,680
\nAll those things that you left
\nwith on Passover night, all <\/p>\n
774
\n00:42:01,680 –> 00:42:05,280
\nthose beautiful jewels and fine
\ngarments that you saw on your <\/p>\n
775
\n00:42:05,280 –> 00:42:07,040
\nchildren and on your
\ngrandchildren. <\/p>\n
776
\n00:42:07,320 –> 00:42:10,840
\nWell now I need some of it back,
\nand I want you to notice how <\/p>\n
777
\n00:42:10,880 –> 00:42:13,120
\ngentle God was.
\nHe didn’t say I want all of it <\/p>\n
778
\n00:42:13,120 –> 00:42:15,720
\nback now can you please come and
\nhand it back in? <\/p>\n
779
\n00:42:15,720 –> 00:42:19,080
\nIt was only borrowed.
\nNotice what he says verse 2. <\/p>\n
780
\n00:42:19,480 –> 00:42:21,840
\nSpeak to the children of Israel
\nthat they bring me an offering <\/p>\n
781
\n00:42:21,840 –> 00:42:25,800
\nof every man that gives it
\nwillingly with his heart. <\/p>\n
782
\n00:42:26,680 –> 00:42:29,720
\nI find that beautiful.
\nGod could have so easily taken <\/p>\n
783
\n00:42:29,720 –> 00:42:34,600
\nan inventory, couldn’t He?
\nI know you took 1.2 million fine<\/p>\n
784
\n00:42:34,600 –> 00:42:37,320
\ncloth garments.
\nI know what the weight of gold <\/p>\n
785
\n00:42:37,320 –> 00:42:39,560
\nwas and the silver.
\nAnd now Aaron, if you please, <\/p>\n
786
\n00:42:39,560 –> 00:42:42,160
\njust stand there with your
\nscales, let’s have it all the <\/p>\n
787
\n00:42:42,160 –> 00:42:44,960
\nway back in, right?
\nI know how much you took. <\/p>\n
788
\n00:42:45,800 –> 00:42:48,280
\nGod didn’t say that, did he?
\nHe didn’t didn’t need it all. <\/p>\n
789
\n00:42:49,280 –> 00:42:53,960
\nHe just said if you feel like
\ngiving it back willingly with <\/p>\n
790
\n00:42:53,960 –> 00:42:58,640
\nyour heart, then you can make me
\na sanctuary and that’s, that’s <\/p>\n
791
\n00:42:58,640 –> 00:43:00,800
\necclesial life, Brent says.
\nIt’s right there, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
792
\n00:43:01,000 –> 00:43:04,560
\nIt will only work if we give it
\nwillingly with our heart, if we <\/p>\n
793
\n00:43:04,560 –> 00:43:07,840
\nrecognise that what we have has
\nbeen given to us by God and it’s<\/p>\n
794
\n00:43:07,840 –> 00:43:08,840
\nthe most precious.
\nThing in the. <\/p>\n
795
\n00:43:08,840 –> 00:43:13,160
\nWorld and if we give back to it
\nwillingly with our heart, then <\/p>\n
796
\n00:43:13,160 –> 00:43:15,360
\nGod can make a sanctuary for us
\nto dwell in. <\/p>\n
797
\n00:43:15,960 –> 00:43:18,600
\nReally beautiful.
\nI wonder if you can imagine <\/p>\n
798
\n00:43:18,600 –> 00:43:25,200
\nbeing a parent or a grandparent
\nnow needing to extract some of <\/p>\n
799
\n00:43:25,200 –> 00:43:28,040
\nthose great toys that are now in
\nthe toy boxes of your children <\/p>\n
800
\n00:43:28,040 –> 00:43:30,720
\nand grandchildren and giving
\nthem back to God. <\/p>\n
801
\n00:43:31,960 –> 00:43:34,680
\nCan you imagine taking from
\nElias what has become his <\/p>\n
802
\n00:43:34,680 –> 00:43:38,480
\nfavorite toys that were given to
\nhim on Passover night and <\/p>\n
803
\n00:43:38,480 –> 00:43:41,440
\nsaying, right, I’m, I’m really
\nsorry, Elias, but we need to <\/p>\n
804
\n00:43:41,440 –> 00:43:43,200
\ngive this to God.
\nHow would you begin? <\/p>\n
805
\n00:43:43,200 –> 00:43:47,240
\nBransis explaining that would it
\nbe a case of quickly take it <\/p>\n
806
\n00:43:47,240 –> 00:43:49,520
\nwhen he’s in bed and when he’s
\ngot up in the morning it’s gone <\/p>\n
807
\n00:43:50,240 –> 00:43:52,480
\nor would you try and sit down
\nwith your children, explain what<\/p>\n
808
\n00:43:52,480 –> 00:43:54,160
\nGod wanted to do with these
\nthings. <\/p>\n
809
\n00:43:54,680 –> 00:43:55,840
\nYou’re not giving this up,
\nElise. <\/p>\n
810
\n00:43:55,840 –> 00:43:59,640
\nThis is a gift to God.
\nGod, God has given these things <\/p>\n
811
\n00:43:59,640 –> 00:44:02,200
\nand he and he lent them to us.
\nThey were assigned to us of how <\/p>\n
812
\n00:44:02,480 –> 00:44:05,880
\namazing God, what amazing things
\nGod is going to do with us. <\/p>\n
813
\n00:44:06,200 –> 00:44:07,640
\nNow we need to give it back to
\nGod. <\/p>\n
814
\n00:44:07,640 –> 00:44:10,320
\nGod, if we if you give it back
\nto God, God is going to come and<\/p>\n
815
\n00:44:10,320 –> 00:44:12,400
\nlive with us.
\nThat’s what’s going to happen, <\/p>\n
816
\n00:44:12,400 –> 00:44:15,400
\nElise, if you give back these
\nthings that God gave to you. <\/p>\n
817
\n00:44:16,080 –> 00:44:19,000
\nIsn’t that lovely?
\nWell, Bren, sisters, when you <\/p>\n
818
\n00:44:19,000 –> 00:44:25,120
\ncome to Exodus 32, of course the
\nbig question is what did they do<\/p>\n
819
\n00:44:25,120 –> 00:44:30,760
\nwith it?
\nAnd it’s a sad note, isn’t it, <\/p>\n
820
\n00:44:30,760 –> 00:44:34,440
\nin the life of the children of
\nIsrael, all those extraordinary <\/p>\n
821
\n00:44:34,440 –> 00:44:36,960
\nthings that God had bestowed on
\nthem and passed overnight, that <\/p>\n
822
\n00:44:36,960 –> 00:44:40,000
\nthey’d seen their children
\nbedecked with jewels and <\/p>\n
823
\n00:44:40,000 –> 00:44:43,640
\nornaments and these fine things.
\nWell, when you come to Exodus <\/p>\n
824
\n00:44:43,640 –> 00:44:48,400
\n32, Aaron said to them, verse 2,
\nbreak off the golden earrings <\/p>\n
825
\n00:44:48,400 –> 00:44:51,720
\nwhich are in the ears of your
\nwives, your sons and your <\/p>\n
826
\n00:44:51,720 –> 00:44:53,640
\ndaughters, and give them unto
\nme. <\/p>\n
827
\n00:44:54,360 –> 00:44:58,040
\nAnd that finery, Bren sisters,
\nthey gave to Aaron and did <\/p>\n
828
\n00:44:58,040 –> 00:44:59,800
\nsomething altogether different
\nwith it. <\/p>\n
829
\n00:44:59,800 –> 00:45:04,160
\nAnd again, it’s not as overt as
\nthis in our daily living, isn’t <\/p>\n
830
\n00:45:04,160 –> 00:45:05,920
\nit?
\nGod hasn’t given us golden <\/p>\n
831
\n00:45:05,920 –> 00:45:09,080
\nearrings and we don’t break them
\noff and and mould them into <\/p>\n
832
\n00:45:09,080 –> 00:45:12,200
\ngolden calves.
\nBut the principles exist, don’t <\/p>\n
833
\n00:45:12,200 –> 00:45:14,200
\nthey, Bren sisters?
\nThis is what happens. <\/p>\n
834
\n00:45:14,200 –> 00:45:18,400
\nThis is how abhorrent it is when
\nwe when we don’t appreciate and <\/p>\n
835
\n00:45:18,400 –> 00:45:21,920
\nand grasp the value of what God
\nhas given to us and we mix it up<\/p>\n
836
\n00:45:21,920 –> 00:45:24,240
\nwith other things and we start
\ndevoting ourselves to. <\/p>\n
837
\n00:45:24,480 –> 00:45:27,640
\nTo things that are of so much
\nless consequence and less value,<\/p>\n
838
\n00:45:28,360 –> 00:45:31,320
\nand the horrors of seeing what
\nGod had given to them. <\/p>\n
839
\n00:45:31,320 –> 00:45:35,160
\nNow being turned into this
\ngolden calf is an awful, awful <\/p>\n
840
\n00:45:35,160 –> 00:45:37,120
\nmoment in the history of the
\nchildren of Israel, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
841
\n00:45:39,440 –> 00:45:43,000
\nWelcome with me to Exodus 35.
\nWe’re nearly there. <\/p>\n
842
\n00:45:52,690 –> 00:45:57,570
\nWe’re now on the other side of
\nthe incident with the golden <\/p>\n
843
\n00:45:57,570 –> 00:45:58,730
\ncalf.
\nWe’ve gone through it. <\/p>\n
844
\n00:45:58,730 –> 00:46:01,250
\nWe’ve gone past it, and there’s
\nbeen a change in the hearts and <\/p>\n
845
\n00:46:01,250 –> 00:46:03,730
\nminds of the people.
\nAnd I want you to notice it. <\/p>\n
846
\n00:46:05,490 –> 00:46:08,850
\nExodus 35.
\nGod is now starting again. <\/p>\n
847
\n00:46:09,930 –> 00:46:12,330
\nVerse 5.
\nTake ye from among you in <\/p>\n
848
\n00:46:12,330 –> 00:46:15,770
\noffering unto the Lord.
\nWhosoever is of a willing heart,<\/p>\n
849
\n00:46:16,240 –> 00:46:19,040
\nlet him bring it.
\nVerse 10. <\/p>\n
850
\n00:46:19,080 –> 00:46:22,640
\nEvery wise hearted among you
\nwill come and make all that the <\/p>\n
851
\n00:46:22,640 –> 00:46:25,400
\nLord has commanded, and now it’s
\ngoing to happen. <\/p>\n
852
\n00:46:25,400 –> 00:46:27,600
\nBren Sisters.
\nFor the first time it’s going to<\/p>\n
853
\n00:46:27,600 –> 00:46:30,960
\nhappen, and as you just read
\nthrough Exodus 35 and 36, next <\/p>\n
854
\n00:46:30,960 –> 00:46:33,440
\ntime you’re there or when you
\nget time on your own, what <\/p>\n
855
\n00:46:33,440 –> 00:46:37,280
\nyou’ll discover is that over 14
\ntimes this expression is used. <\/p>\n
856
\n00:46:37,280 –> 00:46:40,360
\nLet’s have a look.
\nVerse 21, They came, everyone <\/p>\n
857
\n00:46:40,360 –> 00:46:43,680
\nwhose heart stirred him up, and
\neveryone whom his spirit made <\/p>\n
858
\n00:46:43,680 –> 00:46:46,000
\nwilling.
\nVerse 22, They came both men and<\/p>\n
859
\n00:46:46,000 –> 00:46:48,280
\nwomen, as many as were willing
\nhearted. <\/p>\n
860
\n00:46:48,560 –> 00:46:51,240
\nVerse 25, all the women who were
\nwise hearted. <\/p>\n
861
\n00:46:51,560 –> 00:46:54,400
\nVerse 26 All the women whose
\nheart stirred them up. <\/p>\n
862
\n00:46:54,760 –> 00:46:57,680
\nVerse 29 The children of Israel
\nbrought a willing offering unto <\/p>\n
863
\n00:46:57,680 –> 00:46:59,880
\nthe Lord.
\nEvery man and woman whose heart <\/p>\n
864
\n00:46:59,880 –> 00:47:03,400
\nmade them willing.
\nChapter 36, Verse one then <\/p>\n
865
\n00:47:03,400 –> 00:47:06,680
\nwrought Bezalel and the holy AB
\nand every wise hearted man. <\/p>\n
866
\n00:47:07,040 –> 00:47:10,040
\nVerse 2 Moses called Bezaleel
\nand the holy ABBA and every wise<\/p>\n
867
\n00:47:10,040 –> 00:47:13,680
\nhearted man in whose heart the
\nLord had put wisdom, and <\/p>\n
868
\n00:47:13,680 –> 00:47:15,640
\neveryone whose heart stirred him
\nup. <\/p>\n
869
\n00:47:15,840 –> 00:47:18,120
\nThere’s just a handful of them
\nand you get the flavour. <\/p>\n
870
\n00:47:18,200 –> 00:47:20,320
\nSomething has happened,
\nsomething has changed. <\/p>\n
871
\n00:47:20,320 –> 00:47:22,760
\nBrains, sisters in the hearts
\nand minds of these people, they <\/p>\n
872
\n00:47:22,760 –> 00:47:25,640
\nare now willing, they are now
\ncoming, they are now bringing, <\/p>\n
873
\n00:47:25,640 –> 00:47:28,800
\nthey are now giving to the point
\nthat Moses has to say stop, <\/p>\n
874
\n00:47:28,800 –> 00:47:32,080
\nwe’ve got enough.
\nWhat’s changed? <\/p>\n
875
\n00:47:33,480 –> 00:47:36,880
\nWhat’s changed between Exodus
\n32, when they were so willing to<\/p>\n
876
\n00:47:36,880 –> 00:47:40,520
\ngive all these things to the
\ngolden calf that they’re now <\/p>\n
877
\n00:47:40,520 –> 00:47:43,160
\nwilling to bring it to the Lord
\nto build a sanctuary? <\/p>\n
878
\n00:47:43,560 –> 00:47:46,760
\nWhat changed?
\nWell, the pivot point, Rensis, <\/p>\n
879
\n00:47:46,760 –> 00:47:49,280
\nand this is where we’re just
\ngoing to finish, is in Exodus <\/p>\n
880
\n00:47:49,280 –> 00:47:51,920
\n34.
\nThis was the moment, Rensis, <\/p>\n
881
\n00:47:52,000 –> 00:47:56,280
\nthat changed the hearts and
\nminds of the men and women of <\/p>\n
882
\n00:47:56,280 –> 00:48:07,800
\nIsrael.
\nSorry, Exodus 33, Exodus 33 and <\/p>\n
883
\n00:48:07,800 –> 00:48:12,840
\nverse three.
\nI’m not going to go before you. <\/p>\n
884
\n00:48:12,840 –> 00:48:15,800
\nGod has said to this land
\nflowing with milk and honey, I’m<\/p>\n
885
\n00:48:15,800 –> 00:48:17,920
\nnot going up in the midst of
\nyou, for you’re a stiff necked <\/p>\n
886
\n00:48:17,920 –> 00:48:20,240
\npeople, lest I consume you in
\nthe way. <\/p>\n
887
\n00:48:20,440 –> 00:48:23,000
\nAnd when the people heard these
\nevil tidings, they mourned and <\/p>\n
888
\n00:48:23,000 –> 00:48:27,080
\nnobody put on his ornaments.
\nIsn’t that poignant all of a <\/p>\n
889
\n00:48:27,080 –> 00:48:28,440
\nsudden?
\nAll these fine things that <\/p>\n
890
\n00:48:28,440 –> 00:48:30,960
\nthey’ve been wearing, they just
\nknow instinctively now they need<\/p>\n
891
\n00:48:30,960 –> 00:48:33,920
\nto take them off.
\nThere is no place now standing <\/p>\n
892
\n00:48:33,920 –> 00:48:37,400
\nin the presence of God for
\nwearing fine ornaments and they <\/p>\n
893
\n00:48:37,400 –> 00:48:39,040
\ntake them off.
\nThis is after, of course, the <\/p>\n
894
\n00:48:39,040 –> 00:48:42,760
\ngolden calf.
\nCome down to verse 12. <\/p>\n
895
\n00:48:42,760 –> 00:48:45,040
\nThis is lovely, isn’t it?
\nWhat Moses now does? <\/p>\n
896
\n00:48:45,880 –> 00:48:48,560
\nHe goes up and speaks with God,
\nand he says to the Lord, See, <\/p>\n
897
\n00:48:49,040 –> 00:48:51,920
\nyou say unto me, Bring up this
\npeople, and you’ve not let me <\/p>\n
898
\n00:48:51,920 –> 00:48:53,640
\nknow whom.
\nYou’re going to send with me yet<\/p>\n
899
\n00:48:53,640 –> 00:48:56,760
\nYou’ve said I know you by name
\nof you, and you found grace in <\/p>\n
900
\n00:48:56,760 –> 00:48:59,200
\nmy sight.
\nNow, if I have found grace in <\/p>\n
901
\n00:48:59,200 –> 00:49:01,720
\nyour sight, show me now your
\nway. <\/p>\n
902
\n00:49:02,440 –> 00:49:05,200
\nThat I may know you, that I
\nmight feign grace in your sight <\/p>\n
903
\n00:49:05,200 –> 00:49:07,000
\nand consider that this nation is
\nyour people. <\/p>\n
904
\n00:49:07,120 –> 00:49:09,080
\nHow are we going to get there,
\nGod, if you’re going to abandon <\/p>\n
905
\n00:49:09,080 –> 00:49:10,960
\nthese people?
\nThat’s what Moses is saying, <\/p>\n
906
\n00:49:10,960 –> 00:49:12,880
\nisn’t it?
\nHow are we ever going to fulfil <\/p>\n
907
\n00:49:12,880 –> 00:49:14,680
\nall the things that you’ve said
\nyou’re going to do? <\/p>\n
908
\n00:49:14,880 –> 00:49:16,880
\nShow me now your way.
\nI don’t understand how this is <\/p>\n
909
\n00:49:16,880 –> 00:49:18,840
\ngoing to work.
\nI understand the people have <\/p>\n
910
\n00:49:18,840 –> 00:49:21,240
\nbroken the covenant.
\nI understand that they said all <\/p>\n
911
\n00:49:21,240 –> 00:49:23,880
\nthat the Lord has said we will
\ndo, and I understand it’s all <\/p>\n
912
\n00:49:23,880 –> 00:49:25,640
\ncome crashing down and it’s been
\nbroken. <\/p>\n
913
\n00:49:25,800 –> 00:49:27,320
\nBut tell me what the solution
\nis. <\/p>\n
914
\n00:49:27,480 –> 00:49:29,520
\nWhere do we go from here?
\nHow are we going to get? <\/p>\n
915
\n00:49:29,520 –> 00:49:31,880
\nTo be your people.
\nHow are you ever going to fulfil<\/p>\n
916
\n00:49:31,880 –> 00:49:34,080
\nall things that you said to
\nAbraham, Isaac and Jacob? <\/p>\n
917
\n00:49:34,280 –> 00:49:35,440
\nTell me how we’re going to do
\nit. <\/p>\n
918
\n00:49:36,160 –> 00:49:43,080
\nShow me now your way and come
\ndown to this famous question in <\/p>\n
919
\n00:49:43,080 –> 00:49:49,240
\nverse 18, verse 17, the Lord
\nsaid to Moses, I’m going to do <\/p>\n
920
\n00:49:49,240 –> 00:49:51,400
\nthis thing that you’ve spoken
\nfor. <\/p>\n
921
\n00:49:51,400 –> 00:49:53,920
\nYou’ve found grace in my sight,
\nand I know you by name. <\/p>\n
922
\n00:49:53,920 –> 00:49:59,080
\nAnd Moses said to the Lord, I
\nbeseech thee, show me thy glory.<\/p>\n
923
\n00:50:00,600 –> 00:50:02,720
\nYou know the occasion.
\nShow me your glory. <\/p>\n
924
\n00:50:03,360 –> 00:50:05,600
\nAnd the last question for this
\nmorning, Brent, this is I’ve got<\/p>\n
925
\n00:50:05,600 –> 00:50:08,560
\nfor you, is what was Moses
\nreally asking to see? <\/p>\n
926
\n00:50:09,680 –> 00:50:13,800
\nShow me your glory.
\nWhat was it that Moses wanted to<\/p>\n
927
\n00:50:13,800 –> 00:50:16,800
\nsee?
\nI spent a lot of time in Sunday <\/p>\n
928
\n00:50:16,800 –> 00:50:19,160
\nschool thinking that Moses
\nwanted to see the biggest <\/p>\n
929
\n00:50:19,160 –> 00:50:22,840
\nfirework display ever.
\nYou know, Moses had seen some <\/p>\n
930
\n00:50:22,840 –> 00:50:24,880
\namazing stuff.
\nHe’d seen the burning Bush. <\/p>\n
931
\n00:50:25,360 –> 00:50:27,040
\nHe’d seen all the plagues of
\nEgypt. <\/p>\n
932
\n00:50:27,240 –> 00:50:29,400
\nHe’d seen the waters of the Red
\nSea parting. <\/p>\n
933
\n00:50:29,520 –> 00:50:32,200
\nHe’d spoken with God face to
\nface as a man speaks to his <\/p>\n
934
\n00:50:32,200 –> 00:50:34,080
\nfriend.
\nHe’d seen the most amazing <\/p>\n
935
\n00:50:34,080 –> 00:50:37,440
\nthings in the world ever.
\nWhat more could Moses want to <\/p>\n
936
\n00:50:37,440 –> 00:50:39,360
\nsee?
\nWhat did he mean? <\/p>\n
937
\n00:50:39,360 –> 00:50:44,520
\nBren Sisters, when he said show
\nme your glory, Moses was a <\/p>\n
938
\n00:50:44,520 –> 00:50:48,440
\nperceptive man, Bren sisters.
\nAnd what Moses wanted to see was<\/p>\n
939
\n00:50:48,440 –> 00:50:51,200
\nthe glory of God in the way he
\nwas going to deal with men and <\/p>\n
940
\n00:50:51,200 –> 00:50:54,080
\nwomen.
\nThis nation have broken their <\/p>\n
941
\n00:50:54,080 –> 00:50:56,560
\ncovenant with you and it needs
\nrepairing. <\/p>\n
942
\n00:50:57,360 –> 00:50:59,800
\nAnd that says Moses is your
\nglory. <\/p>\n
943
\n00:51:00,520 –> 00:51:04,440
\nIf you can fix this problem, if
\nyou can find a way to live with <\/p>\n
944
\n00:51:04,440 –> 00:51:10,000
\nmen and women who fail, who have
\nproblems, who make mistakes. <\/p>\n
945
\n00:51:10,600 –> 00:51:13,960
\nIf you can find a way to work
\nwith with men and women who make<\/p>\n
946
\n00:51:13,960 –> 00:51:17,480
\na real mess of their lives and
\nturn things upside down and <\/p>\n
947
\n00:51:17,480 –> 00:51:22,320
\nbreak all the promises that they
\nmake, Oi will I then have seen <\/p>\n
948
\n00:51:22,320 –> 00:51:27,240
\nyour glory.
\nI want to see that glory, says <\/p>\n
949
\n00:51:27,240 –> 00:51:28,480
\nMoses.
\nIsn’t that beautiful? <\/p>\n
950
\n00:51:29,080 –> 00:51:30,840
\nShow me your glory.
\nAnd God agrees. <\/p>\n
951
\n00:51:30,840 –> 00:51:33,640
\nAnd when you come to Exodus 34,
\nBrent, this is this famous, <\/p>\n
952
\n00:51:33,640 –> 00:51:36,400
\nfamous moment.
\nI want you to notice the context<\/p>\n
953
\n00:51:36,400 –> 00:51:40,560
\nin which God displays his glory.
\nWhat was it that God did to <\/p>\n
954
\n00:51:40,560 –> 00:51:44,320
\ndemonstrate his glory to Moses?
\nAnd much to my frustration as a <\/p>\n
955
\n00:51:44,320 –> 00:51:46,640
\nkid, it wasn’t a firework
\ndisplay. <\/p>\n
956
\n00:51:47,760 –> 00:51:51,880
\nIt was much more, much more
\nsubtle than that. <\/p>\n
957
\n00:51:52,040 –> 00:51:55,240
\nExodus 34 verse one, and you’re
\nreading it right here. <\/p>\n
958
\n00:51:55,240 –> 00:51:59,680
\nIn these verses the Lord said to
\nMoses, hew 2 tables of stone <\/p>\n
959
\n00:51:59,680 –> 00:52:03,120
\nlike the first, and I will write
\nupon those tables the words that<\/p>\n
960
\n00:52:03,120 –> 00:52:06,480
\nwere in the first ones which you
\nbroke, and you’re about to see <\/p>\n
961
\n00:52:06,480 –> 00:52:09,720
\nGod’s glory right there.
\nI’m going to start again, says <\/p>\n
962
\n00:52:09,720 –> 00:52:11,880
\nGod.
\nAll right, I will show you my <\/p>\n
963
\n00:52:11,880 –> 00:52:14,320
\nglory.
\nHew out two tables of stone like<\/p>\n
964
\n00:52:14,320 –> 00:52:16,880
\nthe first Moses, and we’ll
\nrepair this covenant. <\/p>\n
965
\n00:52:17,040 –> 00:52:19,520
\nWe’ll start again.
\nI’m going to write it all out <\/p>\n
966
\n00:52:19,520 –> 00:52:21,000
\nagain.
\nMe and these. <\/p>\n
967
\n00:52:21,000 –> 00:52:22,520
\nPeople, we’re going to start
\nagain. <\/p>\n
968
\n00:52:22,520 –> 00:52:23,760
\nWe’re going to have a new
\nbeginning. <\/p>\n
969
\n00:52:24,040 –> 00:52:26,560
\nI’m going to show you my glory.
\nI’m going to write it all out <\/p>\n
970
\n00:52:26,560 –> 00:52:28,120
\nagain.
\nThere’s going to be a new set. <\/p>\n
971
\n00:52:28,360 –> 00:52:30,680
\nWe’re going to begin all over
\nagain. <\/p>\n
972
\n00:52:31,400 –> 00:52:34,680
\nCome down to verse 4.
\nMoses hew 2 tables of stone like<\/p>\n
973
\n00:52:34,680 –> 00:52:37,040
\nthe first.
\nAnd Moses rose up early in the <\/p>\n
974
\n00:52:37,040 –> 00:52:40,240
\nmorning, and went up unto Mount
\nSinai as the Lord had commanded <\/p>\n
975
\n00:52:40,240 –> 00:52:42,080
\nhim.
\nAnd he took in his hand the 2 <\/p>\n
976
\n00:52:42,080 –> 00:52:44,720
\ntables of stone.
\nAnd it was those Bran sisters <\/p>\n
977
\n00:52:44,720 –> 00:52:47,120
\nthat was going to be the
\ntestimony of God’s glory. <\/p>\n
978
\n00:52:47,120 –> 00:52:49,280
\nVerse 5.
\nAnd the Lord descended in the <\/p>\n
979
\n00:52:49,280 –> 00:52:52,480
\ncloud, and stood with him there,
\nand proclaimed the name of the <\/p>\n
980
\n00:52:52,480 –> 00:52:54,440
\nLord.
\nAnd the Lord passed by before <\/p>\n
981
\n00:52:54,440 –> 00:52:58,480
\nhim and proclaimed the Lord, the
\nLord God, merciful, gracious, <\/p>\n
982
\n00:52:58,640 –> 00:53:01,800
\nlong-suffering, and abundant in
\ngoodness and truth, keeping <\/p>\n
983
\n00:53:01,800 –> 00:53:04,480
\nmercy for thousands and
\nforgiving iniquity and <\/p>\n
984
\n00:53:04,480 –> 00:53:05,960
\ntransgression and.
\nSin. <\/p>\n
985
\n00:53:06,920 –> 00:53:09,360
\nThat was the glory of God.
\nBrothers, sisters, right there, <\/p>\n
986
\n00:53:09,360 –> 00:53:12,320
\nshow me your glory.
\nAnd every man and woman in <\/p>\n
987
\n00:53:12,320 –> 00:53:15,520
\nIsrael was about to see it,
\nevery single one of them. <\/p>\n
988
\n00:53:15,720 –> 00:53:18,480
\nThis is my glory, says God.
\nI’ll start again. <\/p>\n
989
\n00:53:19,680 –> 00:53:23,040
\nI’ll write it all out again.
\nAnd I will be a God who is <\/p>\n
990
\n00:53:23,040 –> 00:53:27,240
\nmerciful, gracious,
\nlong-suffering and abundant in <\/p>\n
991
\n00:53:27,240 –> 00:53:31,000
\ngoodness and truth, keeping
\nmercy for thousands and <\/p>\n
992
\n00:53:31,000 –> 00:53:35,160
\nforgiving iniquity and sin.
\nAnd brethren and sisters, the <\/p>\n
993
\n00:53:35,160 –> 00:53:38,400
\ndemonstration of God’s glory was
\nnot some spectacular firework <\/p>\n
994
\n00:53:38,400 –> 00:53:41,680
\ndisplay.
\nIt was the fact that He was <\/p>\n
995
\n00:53:41,680 –> 00:53:45,320
\nwilling to show His kindness and
\nHis mercy at starting again. <\/p>\n
996
\n00:53:46,240 –> 00:53:48,880
\nCan you imagine, brethren and
\nsisters, just fine with them, if<\/p>\n
997
\n00:53:48,880 –> 00:53:51,520
\nyou’d have been one of those men
\nand women of Israel waiting for <\/p>\n
998
\n00:53:51,520 –> 00:53:55,880
\nMoses on the wilderness floor,
\nNo ornaments, no fine clothing. <\/p>\n
999
\n00:53:56,480 –> 00:53:59,120
\nYou realise what you’ve done.
\nYou’d stood there and said all <\/p>\n
1000
\n00:53:59,120 –> 00:54:01,760
\nthat the Lord has said we will
\ndo and be obedient. <\/p>\n
1001
\n00:54:02,160 –> 00:54:06,080
\nAnd you watched it come crashing
\ninto a million pieces as Moses <\/p>\n
1002
\n00:54:06,080 –> 00:54:08,520
\nbroke those tablets at the at
\nthe mountain floor. <\/p>\n
1003
\n00:54:08,520 –> 00:54:12,120
\nWhat were you expecting when
\nMoses came back down the <\/p>\n
1004
\n00:54:12,120 –> 00:54:15,000
\nmountain?
\nWhat were you expecting to see? <\/p>\n
1005
\n00:54:16,080 –> 00:54:17,920
\nI’ll tell you what I think they
\nwere expecting. <\/p>\n
1006
\n00:54:18,680 –> 00:54:23,120
\nThey were expecting fire,
\nbrimstone, judgement. <\/p>\n
1007
\n00:54:23,680 –> 00:54:26,440
\nThey were expecting God to
\nconsume them in his anger. <\/p>\n
1008
\n00:54:27,600 –> 00:54:32,440
\nAnd what did they see?
\nThey see a they saw a meek man <\/p>\n
1009
\n00:54:32,440 –> 00:54:36,640
\nwalking down the mountainside
\nwith his face shining and he was<\/p>\n
1010
\n00:54:36,640 –> 00:54:40,440
\ncarrying two tables of stone
\njust like the first. <\/p>\n
1011
\n00:54:41,200 –> 00:54:43,720
\nAnd he said, I’ve seen the glory
\nof God. <\/p>\n
1012
\n00:54:43,720 –> 00:54:48,640
\nGod is merciful, gracious,
\nlong-suffering and abundant in <\/p>\n
1013
\n00:54:48,640 –> 00:54:51,680
\ngoodness and truth.
\nAnd you were the people of God. <\/p>\n
1014
\n00:54:51,680 –> 00:54:54,280
\nIsn’t that lovely, Bren sisters?
\nAnd when you then come to Exodus<\/p>\n
1015
\n00:54:54,280 –> 00:54:58,480
\n35, where we were a moment ago,
\nand you saw the people coming <\/p>\n
1016
\n00:54:58,480 –> 00:55:02,120
\nwith a willing heart, everyone,
\nverse 21 whose hearts stirred <\/p>\n
1017
\n00:55:02,120 –> 00:55:05,400
\nhim up, and whom his Spirit made
\nwilling, they came, men and <\/p>\n
1018
\n00:55:05,400 –> 00:55:07,200
\nwomen, as many as were willing
\nhearted. <\/p>\n
1019
\n00:55:07,400 –> 00:55:10,240
\nThere were amongst that company
\nBren sisters, men and women <\/p>\n
1020
\n00:55:10,240 –> 00:55:14,440
\nwhose hearts melted when they
\nsaw the long-suffering nature <\/p>\n
1021
\n00:55:14,440 –> 00:55:18,160
\nand the mercy and the kindness
\nof God and His willingness to <\/p>\n
1022
\n00:55:18,160 –> 00:55:20,560
\nstart again.
\nAnd that was the new covenant <\/p>\n
1023
\n00:55:20,560 –> 00:55:22,880
\nright there.
\nThe Old Covenant was made with <\/p>\n
1024
\n00:55:22,880 –> 00:55:24,480
\nmen and women who couldn’t do
\nit. <\/p>\n
1025
\n00:55:24,880 –> 00:55:27,560
\nThe Old Covenant was made with
\nmen and women who said all that <\/p>\n
1026
\n00:55:27,560 –> 00:55:29,560
\nthe Lord has said we.
\nWill do. <\/p>\n
1027
\n00:55:29,560 –> 00:55:33,240
\nWe can do it.
\nIt’s all about us and the new <\/p>\n
1028
\n00:55:33,240 –> 00:55:37,080
\ncovenant was made by a God who
\nsaid, I’m a God who’s willing to<\/p>\n
1029
\n00:55:37,080 –> 00:55:42,080
\nstart again every time when your
\nlives come crashing down, every <\/p>\n
1030
\n00:55:42,080 –> 00:55:45,160
\ntime when we make a mess, every
\ntime when we when we fail to <\/p>\n
1031
\n00:55:45,160 –> 00:55:47,040
\nlive up to the promises that
\nwe’ve made. <\/p>\n
1032
\n00:55:47,680 –> 00:55:51,600
\nGod says the new covenant is
\nabout a God who is willing to <\/p>\n
1033
\n00:55:51,600 –> 00:55:53,240
\nstart again.
\nI am a God who is <\/p>\n
1034
\n00:55:53,240 –> 00:55:58,440
\nlong-suffering, gracious and
\nabundant in goodness and truth. <\/p>\n
1035
\n00:55:59,720 –> 00:56:03,920
\nHow wonderful is that?
\nI used to think, you know, Bren <\/p>\n
1036
\n00:56:03,920 –> 00:56:07,000
\nsisters, particularly on a
\nSunday morning when I sat at the<\/p>\n
1037
\n00:56:07,000 –> 00:56:10,320
\nbreaking of bread, that when God
\nexamined my heart, he would be <\/p>\n
1038
\n00:56:10,320 –> 00:56:14,200
\nashamed.
\nHe’ll be ashamed of me and and <\/p>\n
1039
\n00:56:14,200 –> 00:56:16,600
\nthe relationship I would have
\nwith God will be one that went <\/p>\n
1040
\n00:56:16,600 –> 00:56:18,960
\nsomething like this.
\nWell, Johnny, there we are. <\/p>\n
1041
\n00:56:19,960 –> 00:56:22,440
\nIt’s a mess.
\nYou know, what can we do? <\/p>\n
1042
\n00:56:22,680 –> 00:56:25,560
\nThere’s no point crying over it.
\nThat’s what it is. <\/p>\n
1043
\n00:56:26,120 –> 00:56:29,080
\nYou know, we’ll just have to get
\non with it and deal with you as <\/p>\n
1044
\n00:56:29,080 –> 00:56:32,040
\nyou are.
\nAnd it’s not like that, is it, <\/p>\n
1045
\n00:56:32,040 –> 00:56:35,520
\nBren Sisters, because of the
\nwork of the Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
1046
\n00:56:35,520 –> 00:56:37,720
\nGod says I am.
\nI am a God who comes in a <\/p>\n
1047
\n00:56:37,720 –> 00:56:41,480
\nfirework display of glory.
\nI’m a God who is abundant in <\/p>\n
1048
\n00:56:41,480 –> 00:56:43,280
\ngoodness and truth.
\nI am long-suffering. <\/p>\n
1049
\n00:56:43,440 –> 00:56:46,080
\nI am merciful and gracious.
\nI I forgive iniquity and <\/p>\n
1050
\n00:56:46,080 –> 00:56:48,600
\ntransgression and sin.
\nThat’s my glory. <\/p>\n
1051
\n00:56:49,360 –> 00:56:51,360
\nI’m a God.
\nWho starts again with broken <\/p>\n
1052
\n00:56:51,360 –> 00:56:54,760
\npeople like you and like me, I’m
\na God who works with people who <\/p>\n
1053
\n00:56:54,920 –> 00:56:58,480
\nwho can’t do it on their own,
\nwho need me in their lives. <\/p>\n
1054
\n00:56:59,400 –> 00:57:02,200
\nAnd Bren Sisters, when the Lord
\nJesus took that cup and said, <\/p>\n
1055
\n00:57:02,200 –> 00:57:06,440
\nthis cup is the new covenant in
\nmy blood which is poured out for<\/p>\n
1056
\n00:57:06,440 –> 00:57:10,560
\nyou, that was the that was the
\nfirework display, Bren sisters <\/p>\n
1057
\n00:57:10,560 –> 00:57:14,160
\nof the glory of God.
\nThat was the cup that Moses <\/p>\n
1058
\n00:57:14,160 –> 00:57:17,120
\nwould have loved to have shared
\nthere on the wilderness floor of<\/p>\n
1059
\n00:57:17,120 –> 00:57:19,440
\nMount Sinai.
\nWhen the people said all that <\/p>\n
1060
\n00:57:19,440 –> 00:57:21,920
\nthe Lord has said, will we do
\nand be obedient. <\/p>\n
1061
\n00:57:22,880 –> 00:57:25,760
\nAnd may it be Bieber and says we
\nshare the cup of the new <\/p>\n
1062
\n00:57:25,760 –> 00:57:28,640
\ncovenant of the Lord.
\nMay we never underestimate its <\/p>\n
1063
\n00:57:28,640 –> 00:57:33,880
\npower and its energy and the
\ndifference that it can make in <\/p>\n
1064
\n00:57:33,880 –> 00:57:37,520
\nthe lives of people who fail
\nlike you and me. <\/p>\n
1065
\n00:57:38,720 –> 00:57:40,800
\nYou have been called out of
