Class 3 from this series was used in GCT Episode 368.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:06,880 –> 00:00:10,600
\nsecond, third talk.
\nGood heavens. <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:11,200 –> 00:00:22,860
\nSo welcome, Brother Johnny.
\nWell, good morning brothers and <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:22,860 –> 00:00:26,720
\nsisters.
\nSo let’s let’s just make sure we<\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:26,720 –> 00:00:28,960
\nknow where we’ve been so far in
\nour first session. <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:28,960 –> 00:00:30,160
\nI really wanted to share with
\nyou. <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:30,160 –> 00:00:32,720
\nIf you remember, it feels like a
\nlong time ago now, doesn’t it? <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:32,720 –> 00:00:34,200
\nWe’re just hitting the halfway
\npoint. <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:34,200 –> 00:00:37,600
\nSo you know, we’re on the home
\nstraights now in our first <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:37,600 –> 00:00:40,840
\nsession, I really wanted to
\nshare with you or or at least <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:40,840 –> 00:00:43,280
\ntry and get inside the mindset
\nand the attitude and the <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:43,280 –> 00:00:44,640
\ndemeanour of the Lord Jesus
\nChrist. <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:44,640 –> 00:00:46,240
\nRemember that.
\nBe of good cheer. <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:46,240 –> 00:00:48,920
\nI have overcome the world.
\nI want you to have my joy, my <\/p>\n
15
\n00:00:48,920 –> 00:00:52,280
\npeace, the the confidence and
\nthe sense of purpose in the mind<\/p>\n
16
\n00:00:52,280 –> 00:00:55,120
\nof the Lord Jesus Christ, that
\nas we come and break bread and <\/p>\n
17
\n00:00:55,120 –> 00:00:58,240
\nshare in that memory, we might
\nremember a man who was <\/p>\n
18
\n00:00:58,240 –> 00:01:01,960
\nabsolutely determined to fulfil
\nfor our sake the things that God<\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:01,960 –> 00:01:04,280
\nhad given him to do, and
\ndelighted to do so. <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:04,720 –> 00:01:09,080
\nFor the joy set before him, he
\nendured the cross and that joy, <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:09,080 –> 00:01:12,040
\nBrent sisters, was bound up in
\nyou and I and what a privilege <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:12,040 –> 00:01:14,800
\nit is to think about that and
\ndwell on that week by week. <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:14,800 –> 00:01:17,680
\nAnd then yesterday we talked
\nabout the symbols of the bread <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:17,680 –> 00:01:19,640
\nand wine.
\nThis bread is my body. <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:19,880 –> 00:01:22,320
\nAnd we went through the feeding
\nof the 5000 in John six there <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:22,320 –> 00:01:25,400
\nwhere Jesus was at pains to
\npoint out that the bread was a <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:25,400 –> 00:01:28,240
\nsymbol of the power of the word
\nof God and what it can do in the<\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:28,240 –> 00:01:31,880
\nlife of of any man or woman when
\nthey are willing to submit to it<\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:31,880 –> 00:01:34,400
\nand allow their lives and their.
\nThinking and their. <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:34,400 –> 00:01:36,920
\nFeeling to be influenced and
\nmotivated by it. <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:37,280 –> 00:01:38,760
\nAnd he wanted to share that with
\nus. <\/p>\n
32
\n00:01:38,760 –> 00:01:41,760
\nThis bread is my body, which
\nI’ve given for you. <\/p>\n
33
\n00:01:42,440 –> 00:01:45,280
\nAnd and if you’re willing to
\nsubmit your lives to the power <\/p>\n
34
\n00:01:45,280 –> 00:01:48,720
\nof the word of God, as I have
\ndone in mine, then then great <\/p>\n
35
\n00:01:48,720 –> 00:01:51,920
\nthings can happen in your life
\nand that power can be harnessed <\/p>\n
36
\n00:01:51,920 –> 00:01:53,920
\nand and made use of in your
\nlife. <\/p>\n
37
\n00:01:53,920 –> 00:01:56,360
\nAnd we thought very briefly
\nyesterday, once again, I ended <\/p>\n
38
\n00:01:56,360 –> 00:01:59,280
\nup rushing towards the end.
\nWe were we were at the marriage <\/p>\n
39
\n00:01:59,280 –> 00:02:03,360
\nat Cana with the power of the
\nnew wine and the energy and the <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:04,400 –> 00:02:09,240
\nthe the strength that’s exists
\nin that new, never tasted before<\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:09,240 –> 00:02:10,600
\nwine, the symbol.
\nOf the new. <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:10,600 –> 00:02:13,800
\nLife with all that it can do
\nwith the the way it stretches <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:13,800 –> 00:02:17,720
\nand tests and and expands us and
\nWetherbrand and sisters, our <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:17,720 –> 00:02:22,160
\nbottles are are able to be
\nchallenged by that that strength<\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:22,160 –> 00:02:24,880
\nand that energy and that power.
\nOne brother in the UK when I <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:25,080 –> 00:02:27,360
\nonce gave that talk came up to
\nme afterwards and said have you <\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:27,360 –> 00:02:31,080
\ngot the bottle for it?
\nMaybe that’s auk kind of phrase.<\/p>\n
48
\n00:02:31,080 –> 00:02:35,000
\nI don’t know, but but it really
\nstruck me to to remember the <\/p>\n
49
\n00:02:35,000 –> 00:02:38,640
\nchallenge week by week of
\nwhether the bottle of my body is<\/p>\n
50
\n00:02:38,720 –> 00:02:41,680
\nis flexible enough and pliable
\nenough and able to contain and <\/p>\n
51
\n00:02:41,680 –> 00:02:45,280
\nharness the power of the new
\nlife of the Lord Jesus Christ <\/p>\n
52
\n00:02:45,280 –> 00:02:48,800
\nthat He offers us.
\nAnd so we come this morning to <\/p>\n
53
\n00:02:48,800 –> 00:02:52,200
\nour session, which I’ve entitled
\nyou do show the Lord’s death. <\/p>\n
54
\n00:02:52,200 –> 00:02:54,600
\nAnd it’s taken right out of that
\nlast verse that Terry just read <\/p>\n
55
\n00:02:54,600 –> 00:02:58,800
\nfor us in One Corinthians 11.
\nFor as often as you eat this <\/p>\n
56
\n00:02:58,800 –> 00:03:01,120
\nbread and drink this cup, you
\ndo. <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:01,120 –> 00:03:04,120
\nShow the Lord’s death till he
\ncome. <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:05,360 –> 00:03:06,680
\nAnd this session, Brent says it
\nis. <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:06,680 –> 00:03:09,720
\nReally, really very.
\nPersonally special to me, all of<\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:09,720 –> 00:03:14,880
\nthem are this one especially.
\nAnd when I share with you why, <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:14,880 –> 00:03:18,560
\nyou’ll probably laugh because
\neither you’ll have seen it 100 <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:18,560 –> 00:03:21,200
\ntimes before and think, OK,
\nwhat’s so special about that? <\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:21,600 –> 00:03:23,800
\nOr you’ll have never seen it
\nbefore and still think, well, <\/p>\n
64
\n00:03:23,800 –> 00:03:26,120
\nI’d never seen it that way, but
\nit’s still still what’s so <\/p>\n
65
\n00:03:26,120 –> 00:03:27,920
\nspecial about that?
\nAnd that may be the case. <\/p>\n
66
\n00:03:27,920 –> 00:03:30,640
\nI’m going to take that risk.
\nBut you know, I’m a, I’m a <\/p>\n
67
\n00:03:30,640 –> 00:03:32,440
\nsimple soul.
\nAnd you know, brothers, sisters,<\/p>\n
68
\n00:03:32,440 –> 00:03:35,400
\nsometimes when you’re reading
\nthe Bible one day and suddenly a<\/p>\n
69
\n00:03:35,400 –> 00:03:37,760
\npenny drops, something falls
\ninto place. <\/p>\n
70
\n00:03:37,760 –> 00:03:40,120
\nYou see it in a way that you’ve
\nnever seen it before. <\/p>\n
71
\n00:03:40,800 –> 00:03:43,440
\nWell, that happened to me one
\nday when I was thinking about <\/p>\n
72
\n00:03:43,440 –> 00:03:47,600
\nwhat the Apostle Paul meant in
\nthis verse when he said, as <\/p>\n
73
\n00:03:47,600 –> 00:03:53,000
\noften as you eat this bread and
\ndrink this cup, ye do show the <\/p>\n
74
\n00:03:53,000 –> 00:03:56,200
\nLord’s death till he come.
\nAnd I really spent a lot of time<\/p>\n
75
\n00:03:56,200 –> 00:03:59,120
\ntrying to work out what was it
\nthat the Apostle Paul meant when<\/p>\n
76
\n00:03:59,120 –> 00:04:01,360
\nhe, when he just wrote that one
\nsentence. <\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:01,760 –> 00:04:05,720
\nAs often as you eat this bread
\nand drink this cup, ye do show <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:05,720 –> 00:04:08,960
\nthe Lord’s death till he come.
\nAnd, and the, the question I had<\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:08,960 –> 00:04:11,320
\nfor myself, brother, sisters and
\nI, I would like you to ask it <\/p>\n
80
\n00:04:11,400 –> 00:04:14,920
\nfor yourself this morning as we
\nshare this study is what does <\/p>\n
81
\n00:04:14,920 –> 00:04:18,160
\nthat verse mean to you?
\nAs often as you eat this bread <\/p>\n
82
\n00:04:18,160 –> 00:04:21,880
\nand drink this cup, you show the
\nLord’s death till he come. <\/p>\n
83
\n00:04:22,320 –> 00:04:24,520
\nIn what way do you show the
\nLord’s death? <\/p>\n
84
\n00:04:24,520 –> 00:04:28,840
\nBy coming week by week and
\neating from that loaf and <\/p>\n
85
\n00:04:28,840 –> 00:04:32,360
\ndrinking from that cup?
\nIn what way are you showing the <\/p>\n
86
\n00:04:32,360 –> 00:04:34,720
\nLord’s death?
\nIs it the act of coming? <\/p>\n
87
\n00:04:35,160 –> 00:04:37,520
\nMaybe that’s what it is.
\nDoes it mean the fact that the <\/p>\n
88
\n00:04:37,520 –> 00:04:39,760
\nvery fact that we simply come
\nand we sit together in <\/p>\n
89
\n00:04:39,760 –> 00:04:44,120
\nfellowship and we share in those
\nsimple memorials is, is it that <\/p>\n
90
\n00:04:44,120 –> 00:04:46,200
\nthat’s demonstrating the Lord’s
\ndeath? <\/p>\n
91
\n00:04:46,400 –> 00:04:49,720
\nThe very fact that we came and
\nsat together and did it, is that<\/p>\n
92
\n00:04:49,720 –> 00:04:53,320
\nwhat Paul is getting at?
\nLet me tell you about the word <\/p>\n
93
\n00:04:53,320 –> 00:04:56,160
\nPaul uses here.
\nYou do show the Lord’s death. <\/p>\n
94
\n00:04:56,880 –> 00:04:59,720
\nTerry was reading the Revised
\nVersion, I think you proclaim <\/p>\n
95
\n00:04:59,720 –> 00:05:03,200
\nthe Lord’s death and the Greek
\nword that’s used there by the <\/p>\n
96
\n00:05:03,200 –> 00:05:05,600
\nApostle Paul, you do show or you
\nproclaim. <\/p>\n
97
\n00:05:06,280 –> 00:05:08,280
\nIt’s a word you know.
\nWell in the New Testament, it’s <\/p>\n
98
\n00:05:08,280 –> 00:05:11,240
\nmost commonly translated.
\nPreach. <\/p>\n
99
\n00:05:12,760 –> 00:05:15,640
\nAnd more than 10 times this word
\nis translated preach. <\/p>\n
100
\n00:05:15,640 –> 00:05:17,480
\nIt’s it’s most common
\ntranslation in the New <\/p>\n
101
\n00:05:17,480 –> 00:05:20,920
\nTestament, this Greek word, you
\npreach the Lord’s death. <\/p>\n
102
\n00:05:21,320 –> 00:05:24,480
\nThat’s interesting, isn’t it?
\nThis idea of proclamation, I <\/p>\n
103
\n00:05:24,480 –> 00:05:27,720
\nlike the Dyglot’s translation.
\nIt says you announce the Lord’s <\/p>\n
104
\n00:05:27,720 –> 00:05:30,200
\ndeath, you make a declaration
\nabout it. <\/p>\n
105
\n00:05:31,480 –> 00:05:34,200
\nSo that’s interesting, isn’t it?
\nHow is it then that by coming to<\/p>\n
106
\n00:05:34,200 –> 00:05:37,720
\nmy ecclesia and you to yours, or
\nwhatever circumstance it is that<\/p>\n
107
\n00:05:37,720 –> 00:05:41,840
\nyou break bread and fellowship
\nwith with the body of Christ and<\/p>\n
108
\n00:05:41,840 –> 00:05:45,000
\nwith his believers?
\nHow is it that by coming week by<\/p>\n
109
\n00:05:45,000 –> 00:05:48,440
\nweek, you declare, you make an
\nannouncement, you it’s a word of<\/p>\n
110
\n00:05:48,440 –> 00:05:50,520
\nproclamation.
\nIt’s a it’s a method of <\/p>\n
111
\n00:05:50,520 –> 00:05:52,920
\npreaching the Lord’s death till
\nhe come. <\/p>\n
112
\n00:05:53,200 –> 00:05:55,120
\nI don’t know if you’ve ever seen
\nyour attendance at the breaking <\/p>\n
113
\n00:05:55,120 –> 00:05:57,680
\nof bread in that way.
\nIt’s one of your most finest <\/p>\n
114
\n00:05:57,680 –> 00:06:00,600
\npreaching tools.
\nMaybe it is that by the fact <\/p>\n
115
\n00:06:00,600 –> 00:06:03,640
\nthat your neighbors know that
\nyou have a routine in your life <\/p>\n
116
\n00:06:03,640 –> 00:06:06,280
\nthat you stick to rigidly.
\nMaybe that’s what it is that <\/p>\n
117
\n00:06:06,280 –> 00:06:08,760
\nproclaims the Lord’s death.
\nThe fact that you have this <\/p>\n
118
\n00:06:08,760 –> 00:06:12,280
\ncentral focus of your life week
\nby week upon which all of the <\/p>\n
119
\n00:06:12,280 –> 00:06:14,400
\nother components of your life
\nrevolves. <\/p>\n
120
\n00:06:14,400 –> 00:06:16,800
\nMaybe that’s what the Apostle
\nPaul meant, the fact that you <\/p>\n
121
\n00:06:16,800 –> 00:06:18,960
\nhave this discipline and this
\nstructure in your life. <\/p>\n
122
\n00:06:19,120 –> 00:06:21,160
\nMaybe that’s how you show the
\nLord’s death. <\/p>\n
123
\n00:06:21,160 –> 00:06:25,560
\nYou declare it, you preach it As
\noften as you eat this bread and <\/p>\n
124
\n00:06:25,560 –> 00:06:29,560
\ndrink this cup, you do, You show
\nthe Lord’s death. <\/p>\n
125
\n00:06:29,560 –> 00:06:31,720
\nYou proclaim, you preach the
\nLord’s death. <\/p>\n
126
\n00:06:33,440 –> 00:06:36,520
\nMaybe that’s what it is.
\nI had a really interesting <\/p>\n
127
\n00:06:36,520 –> 00:06:39,000
\nexperience on on my way to be
\nhere. <\/p>\n
128
\n00:06:39,560 –> 00:06:43,360
\nThis week I had to explain to my
\ncolleagues where I was going. <\/p>\n
129
\n00:06:43,360 –> 00:06:46,960
\nI don’t often take 2 1\/2 weeks
\noff work at one in one go. <\/p>\n
130
\n00:06:47,000 –> 00:06:49,200
\nAnd they were, they said to me,
\nwhere are you going? <\/p>\n
131
\n00:06:49,200 –> 00:06:52,640
\nSo I began with kind of the, the
\ngeographical interest. <\/p>\n
132
\n00:06:52,640 –> 00:06:54,680
\nWell, I’m going to Newfoundland,
\nright? <\/p>\n
133
\n00:06:55,480 –> 00:06:56,880
\nNot many people been there
\nbefore. <\/p>\n
134
\n00:06:56,880 –> 00:06:58,840
\nSo a bit of talk about that.
\nWell, why are you going there <\/p>\n
135
\n00:06:58,840 –> 00:07:00,720
\nthen?
\nWhat made you choose to go to <\/p>\n
136
\n00:07:00,720 –> 00:07:05,720
\nNewfoundland of all places?
\nYou know so. <\/p>\n
137
\n00:07:08,320 –> 00:07:12,040
\nSo I thought I can see a series
\nof leading questions coming <\/p>\n
138
\n00:07:12,040 –> 00:07:13,240
\nhere.
\nSo I said, well, I’m going to <\/p>\n
139
\n00:07:13,240 –> 00:07:17,600
\nspeak at a Bible school.
\nAnd of course you get the, the <\/p>\n
140
\n00:07:17,720 –> 00:07:20,080
\nthe raising of the eyebrows.
\nThat’s interesting. <\/p>\n
141
\n00:07:20,080 –> 00:07:22,440
\nDidn’t know you’d be doing that.
\nAnd your holiday, Johnny. <\/p>\n
142
\n00:07:23,400 –> 00:07:27,160
\nAnd, and you can start feeling
\nthis little sense of trepidation<\/p>\n
143
\n00:07:27,160 –> 00:07:28,960
\nrising in the pit of your
\nstomach now, can’t you? <\/p>\n
144
\n00:07:28,960 –> 00:07:30,880
\nBecause the next question, of
\ncourse, is well. <\/p>\n
145
\n00:07:30,880 –> 00:07:32,760
\nWhat are you going to be
\nspeaking about? <\/p>\n
146
\n00:07:34,480 –> 00:07:38,240
\nAnd so you knowing what the next
\nthree questions are going to be,<\/p>\n
147
\n00:07:38,240 –> 00:07:41,440
\nI start thinking, well, I either
\nkeep going here or I bail out. <\/p>\n
148
\n00:07:41,480 –> 00:07:44,320
\nAnd I, I didn’t, I said, well,
\nI’m going to be my, my theme is.<\/p>\n
149
\n00:07:44,840 –> 00:07:48,920
\nAt the breaking of bread.
\nAnd I found this myself in this <\/p>\n
150
\n00:07:48,920 –> 00:07:51,960
\nreally interesting situation of
\nI’ve never had to begin <\/p>\n
151
\n00:07:52,000 –> 00:07:54,680
\nexplaining my faith to somebody
\nfrom this beginning. <\/p>\n
152
\n00:07:55,000 –> 00:07:58,680
\nI’ve started in all other kinds
\nof places, you know, prophecy, <\/p>\n
153
\n00:07:58,840 –> 00:08:03,720
\nthe, the, the nation of Israel,
\npolitics, suffering, all kinds <\/p>\n
154
\n00:08:03,720 –> 00:08:07,320
\nof other opening kind of gambits
\nfor kind of explaining your <\/p>\n
155
\n00:08:07,320 –> 00:08:09,080
\nfaith and what the word of God
\nmeans to you. <\/p>\n
156
\n00:08:09,360 –> 00:08:11,000
\nAnd I’d never started here
\nbefore. <\/p>\n
157
\n00:08:11,280 –> 00:08:13,880
\nAnd the thing that immediately
\ncame into my mind was this verse<\/p>\n
158
\n00:08:13,880 –> 00:08:16,680
\nhere in one Corinthians 11.
\nAs often as you eat this bread <\/p>\n
159
\n00:08:16,680 –> 00:08:20,080
\nand drink this cup, you declare
\nthe Lord’s death, you preach it,<\/p>\n
160
\n00:08:20,240 –> 00:08:21,960
\nyou proclaim it, you announce
\nit. <\/p>\n
161
\n00:08:22,360 –> 00:08:24,720
\nAnd I thought, well, here we go,
\nsit down, buckle up. <\/p>\n
162
\n00:08:25,000 –> 00:08:27,880
\nWe’re in for a discussion now
\nabout what the breaking of bread<\/p>\n
163
\n00:08:27,880 –> 00:08:32,000
\nmeans to me, how it changes my
\nlife, how it’s at the core of my<\/p>\n
164
\n00:08:32,000 –> 00:08:34,480
\nunderstanding of what the Lord
\nJesus Christ means to me and <\/p>\n
165
\n00:08:34,480 –> 00:08:38,400
\nwhat he’s done in my life and
\nhow my faith like pivots really <\/p>\n
166
\n00:08:38,400 –> 00:08:40,600
\naround that.
\nI’m not sure how successful it <\/p>\n
167
\n00:08:40,600 –> 00:08:42,640
\nwas.
\nMy colleagues have not yet <\/p>\n
168
\n00:08:42,640 –> 00:08:46,920
\ndeclared their desire to be
\nbaptised so and I suspect that <\/p>\n
169
\n00:08:46,920 –> 00:08:50,200
\nmay be some way.
\nDown the line, but maybe that’s <\/p>\n
170
\n00:08:50,200 –> 00:08:53,600
\nwhat the Apostle Paul meant.
\nMaybe he wanted us to make it <\/p>\n
171
\n00:08:53,600 –> 00:08:58,120
\nthe focal part of our preaching
\nabout what this central part of <\/p>\n
172
\n00:08:58,120 –> 00:09:01,080
\nour routine of worship means in
\nour daily living. <\/p>\n
173
\n00:09:01,080 –> 00:09:04,320
\nAs often as you eat this bread
\nand drink this cup, you do it in<\/p>\n
174
\n00:09:04,320 –> 00:09:07,760
\nremembrance of me.
\nBut you can tell that by the <\/p>\n
175
\n00:09:07,760 –> 00:09:10,120
\nfact I want to speak for at
\nleast another 35 minutes. <\/p>\n
176
\n00:09:10,120 –> 00:09:13,080
\nThere’s probably a bit more to
\nit than that, or at least I <\/p>\n
177
\n00:09:13,080 –> 00:09:15,200
\nthink there is.
\nAnd and this is what I I think <\/p>\n
178
\n00:09:15,200 –> 00:09:19,800
\nit is.
\nThis these are the. <\/p>\n
179
\n00:09:19,800 –> 00:09:22,440
\nWords that we have here up on
\nthe screen from the apostle Paul<\/p>\n
180
\n00:09:22,440 –> 00:09:25,600
\nin One Corinthians 11.
\nAs often as you eat this bread <\/p>\n
181
\n00:09:25,600 –> 00:09:27,600
\nand drink this cup, you show the
\nLord’s death. <\/p>\n
182
\n00:09:27,600 –> 00:09:30,040
\nYou announce it, you declare it,
\nyou proclaim it. <\/p>\n
183
\n00:09:30,840 –> 00:09:32,600
\nAnd I think.
\nThe Apostle Paul was picking up <\/p>\n
184
\n00:09:32,600 –> 00:09:36,560
\non some words of the Lord Jesus
\nChrist in the Upper. <\/p>\n
185
\n00:09:36,600 –> 00:09:39,920
\nRoom as he shared the bread and
\nwine that Luke and Mark. <\/p>\n
186
\n00:09:39,920 –> 00:09:44,200
\nI think it is particularly
\nrecord very simple words, words <\/p>\n
187
\n00:09:44,200 –> 00:09:46,480
\nthat we probably quote most
\nSundays. <\/p>\n
188
\n00:09:47,160 –> 00:09:50,160
\nThis is my body, he said, which
\nis given for you. <\/p>\n
189
\n00:09:50,880 –> 00:09:56,080
\nThis do in remembrance of me and
\nbrethren says when I just kept <\/p>\n
190
\n00:09:56,080 –> 00:10:00,440
\nrolling around that that verse
\nfrom Luke 22 in my mind, I <\/p>\n
191
\n00:10:00,440 –> 00:10:03,200
\nstarted to realise that I’ve
\nbeen reading it wrong for most <\/p>\n
192
\n00:10:03,200 –> 00:10:06,440
\nof my life.
\nThis bread is my. <\/p>\n
193
\n00:10:06,440 –> 00:10:10,360
\nBody which is given for you this
\ndo in remembrance of me and. <\/p>\n
194
\n00:10:10,360 –> 00:10:12,200
\nI want to really just.
\nDwell on that that one <\/p>\n
195
\n00:10:12,200 –> 00:10:15,040
\nstatement.
\nThis, this is my body which is <\/p>\n
196
\n00:10:15,040 –> 00:10:16,600
\ngiven for you, this deal in
\nremembrance of me. <\/p>\n
197
\n00:10:16,640 –> 00:10:18,400
\nWhat do you think the Lord Jesus
\nmeant? <\/p>\n
198
\n00:10:18,720 –> 00:10:21,200
\nBecause this, this is the verse,
\nthis is, these are the words I <\/p>\n
199
\n00:10:21,200 –> 00:10:22,760
\nthink the Apostle Paul is
\nreferring to. <\/p>\n
200
\n00:10:23,040 –> 00:10:25,320
\nAs often as you eat this bread
\nand drink this cup, you show the<\/p>\n
201
\n00:10:25,320 –> 00:10:28,000
\nLord’s death.
\nThere is an action that comes <\/p>\n
202
\n00:10:28,000 –> 00:10:30,360
\nout of coming to the breaking of
\nbread service. <\/p>\n
203
\n00:10:30,800 –> 00:10:34,120
\nThere is something that we need
\nto do all right, this is the <\/p>\n
204
\n00:10:34,120 –> 00:10:36,440
\nword do right here in Luke’s
\nGospel. <\/p>\n
205
\n00:10:36,600 –> 00:10:38,120
\nThis is my body which is given
\nfor you. <\/p>\n
206
\n00:10:38,200 –> 00:10:41,800
\nThis do in remembrance of me.
\nWe have to do something. <\/p>\n
207
\n00:10:42,040 –> 00:10:47,080
\nThere is an active participative
\nelement to to coming and leaving<\/p>\n
208
\n00:10:47,080 –> 00:10:48,520
\nfrom the breaking of bread
\nservice. <\/p>\n
209
\n00:10:48,520 –> 00:10:51,080
\nThat’s what the Lord Jesus
\nsaying and it’s that word do <\/p>\n
210
\n00:10:51,080 –> 00:10:53,920
\nthat kind of jumped out of the
\npage and hit me in the face in a<\/p>\n
211
\n00:10:53,920 –> 00:10:56,200
\nway that it had never hit me in
\nthe face before. <\/p>\n
212
\n00:10:56,440 –> 00:11:01,280
\nAll right, this do what is the
\ndo that the Lord Jesus referring<\/p>\n
213
\n00:11:01,280 –> 00:11:04,120
\nto this this is my body which is
\ngiven for you. <\/p>\n
214
\n00:11:04,280 –> 00:11:07,960
\nThis do in remembrance of me.
\nWhat is the do bit that the Lord<\/p>\n
215
\n00:11:08,000 –> 00:11:10,600
\nJesus was referring to?
\nWhat is it that he wanted us to <\/p>\n
216
\n00:11:10,600 –> 00:11:12,480
\ndo?
\nAnd I’m going to make a personal<\/p>\n
217
\n00:11:12,480 –> 00:11:14,600
\nconfession to you brethren,
\nsince I made one yesterday. <\/p>\n
218
\n00:11:14,760 –> 00:11:18,200
\nHere’s today’s when I was young
\nin the truth, I used to come to <\/p>\n
219
\n00:11:18,200 –> 00:11:20,480
\nthe breaking of bread and think
\nthat what the Lord Jesus meant <\/p>\n
220
\n00:11:20,480 –> 00:11:23,600
\nby that was come and take a
\npiece of the bread. <\/p>\n
221
\n00:11:23,840 –> 00:11:28,520
\nSit it, sit down, eat it, and
\nyou’ve done your peace. <\/p>\n
222
\n00:11:29,280 –> 00:11:32,880
\nThis bread is my body which is
\ngiven for you this do in <\/p>\n
223
\n00:11:32,880 –> 00:11:35,960
\nremembrance of me and the doing
\nthat I thought the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
224
\n00:11:35,960 –> 00:11:42,120
\nwas referring to was coming,
\nsitting, eating and I suddenly <\/p>\n
225
\n00:11:42,120 –> 00:11:43,960
\nrealised bread and sisters one
\nday and this is the point where <\/p>\n
226
\n00:11:43,960 –> 00:11:47,160
\nyou’ll be smiling because you’ve
\nbeen here probably 30-4 years <\/p>\n
227
\n00:11:47,160 –> 00:11:50,280
\nahead of me.
\nThe the thing that hit me in the<\/p>\n
228
\n00:11:50,280 –> 00:11:52,200
\nface bread and sister was I
\nrealised that I’d I’d been <\/p>\n
229
\n00:11:52,240 –> 00:11:54,760
\nreading that verse wrong.
\nLet me break it down and take it<\/p>\n
230
\n00:11:54,760 –> 00:11:56,400
\nmore slowly If you haven’t seen
\nit before. <\/p>\n
231
\n00:11:57,440 –> 00:12:00,960
\nJesus was taking the bread from
\nthe plate, from the table in <\/p>\n
232
\n00:12:00,960 –> 00:12:05,280
\nfront of them, and he blessed it
\nand he broke it and he said this<\/p>\n
233
\n00:12:05,280 –> 00:12:09,120
\nis my body.
\nThis bread I want you to see is <\/p>\n
234
\n00:12:09,120 –> 00:12:15,800
\na representation of my body, and
\nI have given this. <\/p>\n
235
\n00:12:15,800 –> 00:12:20,120
\nBody for you, not the bread.
\nHe’s not making a reference to <\/p>\n
236
\n00:12:20,120 –> 00:12:22,160
\nthe bread, is he?
\nHe’s talking about his body. <\/p>\n
237
\n00:12:22,440 –> 00:12:25,800
\nThis bread is a representation
\nof my body, and I have given <\/p>\n

\nI don’t want you to just take <\/p>\n
240
\n00:12:34,280 –> 00:12:36,560
\nthis bread and eat it and go
\nyour way. <\/p>\n
241
\n00:12:36,840 –> 00:12:39,480
\nI want you to take on board the
\nsymbol that it represents, and <\/p>\n
242
\n00:12:39,480 –> 00:12:41,960
\nthat’s what I want you to do in
\nremembrance of me. <\/p>\n
243
\n00:12:42,280 –> 00:12:45,080
\nThis bread is my body, which I
\nhave given. <\/p>\n
244
\n00:12:45,440 –> 00:12:48,560
\nNow I want you to do the same.
\nI don’t want you to just sit <\/p>\n
245
\n00:12:48,560 –> 00:12:51,720
\nhere and eat a piece of bread.
\nI want you to take your bodies <\/p>\n
246
\n00:12:51,960 –> 00:12:55,000
\nand give them in service as I
\nhave given mine. <\/p>\n
247
\n00:12:55,240 –> 00:12:57,920
\nThat’s the do that the Lord
\nJesus Christ was talking about. <\/p>\n
248
\n00:12:58,160 –> 00:13:00,600
\nThis bread is my body which I
\nhave given for you. <\/p>\n
249
\n00:13:01,000 –> 00:13:05,560
\nThis do in remembrance of me.
\nGive your bodies in service as I<\/p>\n
250
\n00:13:05,560 –> 00:13:08,320
\nhave given mine.
\nThat’s brothers and sisters, <\/p>\n
251
\n00:13:08,320 –> 00:13:10,520
\nwhat hit me in the face.
\nMaybe you’ve seen it a million <\/p>\n
252
\n00:13:10,520 –> 00:13:11,800
\ntimes.
\nMaybe you’ve never seen it <\/p>\n
253
\n00:13:11,800 –> 00:13:13,840
\nbefore.
\nJust when you just really think <\/p>\n
254
\n00:13:13,840 –> 00:13:16,800
\nslowly and carefully about what
\nit was the Lord Jesus was <\/p>\n
255
\n00:13:16,800 –> 00:13:20,440
\nchallenging us to do, He was
\nchallenging us to do what He has<\/p>\n
256
\n00:13:20,440 –> 00:13:23,440
\ndone.
\nThis is my body which I’ve given<\/p>\n
257
\n00:13:23,440 –> 00:13:28,640
\nin service for 33 1\/2 years of
\nmy life, in service and in as in<\/p>\n
258
\n00:13:28,640 –> 00:13:32,400
\nthe most finest obedience I
\ncould muster for the sake of my <\/p>\n
259
\n00:13:32,400 –> 00:13:33,720
\nFather.
\nAnd this bread is a <\/p>\n
260
\n00:13:33,720 –> 00:13:36,600
\nrepresentation of that.
\nAnd week by week, when you come <\/p>\n
261
\n00:13:36,600 –> 00:13:39,840
\ntogether and you eat it and you
\nshare it, that’s what I want you<\/p>\n
262
\n00:13:39,840 –> 00:13:44,520
\nto do in remembrance of me.
\nAnd that suddenly changed the <\/p>\n
263
\n00:13:44,520 –> 00:13:47,440
\nwhole way in which I came to the
\nmeeting on a Sunday. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:13:47,760 –> 00:13:50,120
\nSuddenly it wasn’t just that
\nJesus wanted me to come and eat <\/p>\n
265
\n00:13:50,120 –> 00:13:52,800
\na piece of bread.
\nThat wasn’t the doing that he <\/p>\n
266
\n00:13:52,800 –> 00:13:57,240
\nwanted me to do.
\nHe wanted me to be moved and <\/p>\n
267
\n00:13:57,240 –> 00:14:00,840
\ntouched by the symbol.
\nThis bread is my body which I <\/p>\n
268
\n00:14:00,840 –> 00:14:06,320
\nhave given for you.
\nThis do in remembrance of me. <\/p>\n
269
\n00:14:06,320 –> 00:14:11,160
\nIf you really want to Remember
\nMe, Brother Johnny, don’t just <\/p>\n
270
\n00:14:11,160 –> 00:14:16,120
\ncome and eat a piece of bread.
\nDo what I have done for you in <\/p>\n
271
\n00:14:16,120 –> 00:14:21,200
\nremembrance of me.
\nGive your body in service as I <\/p>\n
272
\n00:14:21,200 –> 00:14:25,280
\nhave given mine for you.
\nThis do in remembrance of me. <\/p>\n
273
\n00:14:25,720 –> 00:14:27,560
\nI’m sorry if I’m labouring the
\npoint where this says just <\/p>\n
274
\n00:14:27,560 –> 00:14:30,600
\nhumour me because that that was
\na day that changed my life. <\/p>\n
275
\n00:14:30,600 –> 00:14:33,960
\nI remember the day all those
\npennies dropped in my mind for <\/p>\n
276
\n00:14:33,960 –> 00:14:36,360
\nme.
\nThat’s how I that’s how I began <\/p>\n
277
\n00:14:36,360 –> 00:14:38,960
\nto read that verse, this do in
\nremembrance of me and that <\/p>\n
278
\n00:14:38,960 –> 00:14:41,000
\nturned that turned my life
\ninside out. <\/p>\n
279
\n00:14:41,720 –> 00:14:45,320
\nThat really challenged the way I
\ncame to my ecclesia week by week<\/p>\n
280
\n00:14:45,320 –> 00:14:50,400
\nand what I saw in that bread and
\nhow it challenged me to take the<\/p>\n
281
\n00:14:50,400 –> 00:14:53,440
\nissues of it away in my life.
\nIt’s a challenge to our daily <\/p>\n
282
\n00:14:53,440 –> 00:14:57,200
\nliving to be motivated,
\ninfluenced in the way in which <\/p>\n
283
\n00:14:57,200 –> 00:15:00,600
\nwe give our bodies in service
\nfor the Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n
284
\n00:15:00,600 –> 00:15:03,600
\nThis do in remembrance of me.
\nIf you really want to Remember <\/p>\n
285
\n00:15:03,600 –> 00:15:07,240
\nMe and honour my memory and all
\nthat I have done for you, then <\/p>\n
286
\n00:15:07,240 –> 00:15:10,360
\nyou need to do likewise.
\nIn remembrance of me. <\/p>\n
287
\n00:15:11,200 –> 00:15:13,120
\nI want to take you into John’s
\ngospel again. <\/p>\n
288
\n00:15:13,120 –> 00:15:15,560
\nWe did this a little bit on on
\nSunday. <\/p>\n
289
\n00:15:16,120 –> 00:15:19,320
\nAnd we were remarking yesterday
\nat how extraordinary it is in a <\/p>\n
290
\n00:15:19,320 –> 00:15:22,680
\nway that the the gospel writer
\nwho spends most of his time in <\/p>\n
291
\n00:15:22,680 –> 00:15:26,520
\nthe upper room, 4 chapters of
\nhis gospel sitting right there <\/p>\n
292
\n00:15:26,520 –> 00:15:29,240
\nwith the disciples in the upper
\nroom, doesn’t seem to actually <\/p>\n
293
\n00:15:29,240 –> 00:15:31,480
\nuse these words that the other
\ngospel writers do. <\/p>\n
294
\n00:15:31,800 –> 00:15:33,960
\nThis bread is my body which is
\ngiven for you. <\/p>\n
295
\n00:15:33,960 –> 00:15:37,040
\nThis cup is the new covenant in
\nmy blood which is poured out for<\/p>\n
296
\n00:15:37,040 –> 00:15:38,800
\nyou, this dew in remembrance of
\nme. <\/p>\n
297
\n00:15:39,120 –> 00:15:41,960
\nAnd yet what when I reread
\nBrethren Sisters those chapters,<\/p>\n
298
\n00:15:42,160 –> 00:15:44,760
\nI suddenly realised that John
\ndoes use all those words. <\/p>\n
299
\n00:15:45,240 –> 00:15:47,680
\nIn fact, he uses them in much
\ngreater detail as we were <\/p>\n
300
\n00:15:47,680 –> 00:15:51,400
\nlooking at briefly yesterday by
\nby the the feeding of the 5000 <\/p>\n
301
\n00:15:51,400 –> 00:15:54,200
\nand the wedding at Cana.
\nHe went into so much more detail<\/p>\n
302
\n00:15:54,440 –> 00:15:56,520
\nthan the others about the
\nsymbols of bread and wine. <\/p>\n
303
\n00:15:56,800 –> 00:15:58,840
\nAnd right there in the upper
\nroom, Brent says when you <\/p>\n
304
\n00:15:58,880 –> 00:16:02,320
\nactually begin to dissect the
\nwords that the Lord Jesus Christ<\/p>\n
305
\n00:16:02,320 –> 00:16:05,840
\nused that are recorded in John’s
\nGospel, you will discover that <\/p>\n
306
\n00:16:05,840 –> 00:16:09,640
\nthe essence of this principle.
\nThis is my body which is given <\/p>\n
307
\n00:16:09,640 –> 00:16:12,800
\nfor you.
\nThis do in remembrance of me is <\/p>\n
308
\n00:16:12,800 –> 00:16:16,240
\nright there, right there in
\nJohn’s explanation of the of the<\/p>\n
309
\n00:16:16,240 –> 00:16:17,920
\nLast Supper.
\nLet me give you an example. <\/p>\n
310
\n00:16:18,800 –> 00:16:22,280
\nHere’s our words in Luke 22.
\nThis is my body which is given <\/p>\n
311
\n00:16:22,280 –> 00:16:24,000
\nfor you.
\nThis do in remembrance of me. <\/p>\n
312
\n00:16:24,200 –> 00:16:25,520
\nNow let me.
\nGive you some examples? <\/p>\n
313
\n00:16:25,520 –> 00:16:28,600
\nJust some little extracts from
\nJohn’s Gospel in the upper room.<\/p>\n
314
\n00:16:28,600 –> 00:16:32,080
\nHave a look at this.
\nHe rose from supper and began to<\/p>\n
315
\n00:16:32,080 –> 00:16:36,600
\nwash the disciples feet.
\nIf I, your Lord and Master, have<\/p>\n
316
\n00:16:36,600 –> 00:16:41,160
\nwashed your feet, you also ought
\nto wash one another’s feet, for <\/p>\n
317
\n00:16:41,160 –> 00:16:44,320
\nI have given you an example that
\nyou should. <\/p>\n
318
\n00:16:44,320 –> 00:16:49,520
\nDo as I have done to you.
\nCan you see the echo there in in<\/p>\n
319
\n00:16:49,520 –> 00:16:52,520
\nJohn’s explanation instead of
\njust condensing it down into <\/p>\n
320
\n00:16:52,520 –> 00:16:55,560
\nthat one statement that Luke has
\ndone and that the apostle Paul <\/p>\n
321
\n00:16:55,560 –> 00:16:57,320
\nhas done?
\nAs often as you eat this bread <\/p>\n
322
\n00:16:57,320 –> 00:17:00,240
\nand drink this cup, you proclaim
\nthe Lord’s death, You make an <\/p>\n
323
\n00:17:00,240 –> 00:17:02,080
\nannouncement, you make a
\ndeclaration. <\/p>\n
324
\n00:17:02,320 –> 00:17:06,200
\nAll of a sudden, John’s expanded
\nit out and, and, and we now <\/p>\n
325
\n00:17:06,200 –> 00:17:09,480
\nunderstand why Luke said this
\nsimple statement based on this <\/p>\n
326
\n00:17:09,480 –> 00:17:13,680
\nlong discourse here in, in John
\n13 and 14, Jesus says, I’m going<\/p>\n
327
\n00:17:13,680 –> 00:17:16,000
\nto give you an example of what
\nthis bread represents. <\/p>\n
328
\n00:17:16,280 –> 00:17:19,640
\nThis is my body which I’ve laid
\ndown and given in service to <\/p>\n
329
\n00:17:19,640 –> 00:17:22,200
\nyou.
\nAnd if I’ve washed your feet as <\/p>\n
330
\n00:17:22,200 –> 00:17:25,599
\nan example of what that means
\nin, in as a living practical <\/p>\n
331
\n00:17:25,599 –> 00:17:28,840
\nexample, then you ought to be
\nable to do that as well. <\/p>\n
332
\n00:17:29,080 –> 00:17:33,080
\nIf I, your Lord and Master, can
\nwash your feet, then if you want<\/p>\n
333
\n00:17:33,080 –> 00:17:35,000
\nto do something.
\nIn memory of me. <\/p>\n
334
\n00:17:35,320 –> 00:17:38,000
\nIf you want to come and take
\nthis bread which has symbolised <\/p>\n
335
\n00:17:38,000 –> 00:17:42,760
\nmy my body of service in
\nremembrance of me, then you <\/p>\n
336
\n00:17:42,760 –> 00:17:46,120
\nought to be washing one
\nanother’s feet and be doing as I<\/p>\n
337
\n00:17:46,120 –> 00:17:48,800
\nhave done for you.
\nDoes that make sense? <\/p>\n
338
\n00:17:50,560 –> 00:17:52,600
\nLet’s look at another.
\nOne Jesus took the bread and <\/p>\n
339
\n00:17:52,600 –> 00:17:54,880
\nblessed it and break it and gave
\nit to the disciples. <\/p>\n
340
\n00:17:55,280 –> 00:17:58,600
\nTake, eat.
\nThis is my body which I have <\/p>\n
341
\n00:17:58,600 –> 00:18:01,720
\ngiven for you.
\nHere’s one from John 15, and you<\/p>\n
342
\n00:18:01,720 –> 00:18:04,160
\nknow these words so well.
\nI just want you to put them in <\/p>\n
343
\n00:18:04,160 –> 00:18:06,480
\nthis context of these verses in
\nthe upper room. <\/p>\n
344
\n00:18:06,960 –> 00:18:11,120
\nThis is my commandment, that you
\nlove one another as I have loved<\/p>\n
345
\n00:18:11,120 –> 00:18:12,720
\nyou.
\nThat’s one of the most <\/p>\n
346
\n00:18:12,720 –> 00:18:15,800
\nchallenging things by instances
\nthat the Lord Jesus ever said, <\/p>\n
347
\n00:18:15,800 –> 00:18:17,520
\nit seems to me in the record of
\nScripture. <\/p>\n
348
\n00:18:18,120 –> 00:18:21,680
\nThis is a new commandment, that
\nyou love one another as I have <\/p>\n
349
\n00:18:21,680 –> 00:18:23,480
\nloved you.
\nThe old commandment was <\/p>\n
350
\n00:18:23,480 –> 00:18:25,560
\ndifferent.
\nDo you remember under the law it<\/p>\n
351
\n00:18:25,560 –> 00:18:29,640
\nwas love one another as you
\nwould love yourself, do unto <\/p>\n
352
\n00:18:29,640 –> 00:18:32,160
\nothers as you would have done
\nunto you. <\/p>\n
353
\n00:18:32,160 –> 00:18:34,000
\nAnd that standard is a little
\nbit easier, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
354
\n00:18:34,000 –> 00:18:36,520
\nBecause we all have that
\nstandard of how we want other <\/p>\n
355
\n00:18:36,520 –> 00:18:39,600
\npeople to treat us in life.
\nThat’s very variable amongst all<\/p>\n
356
\n00:18:39,600 –> 00:18:41,720
\nof us.
\nAnd we know that we want to <\/p>\n
357
\n00:18:41,720 –> 00:18:45,200
\ntreat others if we can based on
\nhow we expect to be treated. <\/p>\n
358
\n00:18:45,360 –> 00:18:48,040
\nNow Jesus says, I’m going to
\ntake that standard just right up<\/p>\n
359
\n00:18:48,240 –> 00:18:50,520
\nupper level.
\nNow, I don’t want you to base <\/p>\n
360
\n00:18:50,520 –> 00:18:53,040
\nyour standard of how you treat
\none another on how you want to <\/p>\n
361
\n00:18:53,040 –> 00:18:56,120
\nbe treated.
\nI want you to base that standard<\/p>\n
362
\n00:18:56,120 –> 00:19:00,200
\non how I have treated you.
\nGreater love has no man than <\/p>\n
363
\n00:19:00,200 –> 00:19:02,880
\nthis, that a man lay down his
\nlife for his friends. <\/p>\n
364
\n00:19:03,120 –> 00:19:07,000
\nThis bread is my body.
\nGreater love has no man than <\/p>\n
365
\n00:19:07,000 –> 00:19:09,560
\nthis, that a man lay down his
\nlife for his friends. <\/p>\n
366
\n00:19:09,720 –> 00:19:12,280
\nThis cup is my blood which I
\nhave poured out. <\/p>\n
367
\n00:19:12,280 –> 00:19:15,640
\nGreater love has no man than
\nthis, that he would lay down his<\/p>\n
368
\n00:19:15,640 –> 00:19:18,720
\nlife for my friends.
\nYou are my friends if you do <\/p>\n
369
\n00:19:19,600 –> 00:19:23,440
\nwhatsoever I command you, not if
\nyou come and sit week by week. <\/p>\n
370
\n00:19:23,800 –> 00:19:26,840
\nAnd just eat a morsel of bread
\nand take a sip from the cup. <\/p>\n
371
\n00:19:29,160 –> 00:19:34,000
\nYou will do it in remembrance of
\nme if you do as I have done for <\/p>\n
372
\n00:19:34,000 –> 00:19:38,480
\nyou, if you try and elevate your
\nliving and the standards by <\/p>\n
373
\n00:19:38,480 –> 00:19:41,240
\nwhich you will treat one another
\nand the way in which you will <\/p>\n
374
\n00:19:41,240 –> 00:19:45,600
\ngive your lives in service if
\nyou do as I have done for you. <\/p>\n
375
\n00:19:45,800 –> 00:19:49,240
\nThat’s a challenging that’s a
\nvibrant way, isn’t it, Brent <\/p>\n
376
\n00:19:49,240 –> 00:19:52,720
\nSisters, to see the bread and
\nthe wine week by week. <\/p>\n
377
\n00:19:52,760 –> 00:19:54,880
\nIf you really want to
\ndemonstrate to make a <\/p>\n
378
\n00:19:54,880 –> 00:19:59,720
\ndeclaration, an announcement
\nsays the apostle Paul about what<\/p>\n
379
\n00:19:59,720 –> 00:20:02,680
\nthe Lord has done for you, then
\ndon’t just come and sit in the <\/p>\n
380
\n00:20:02,680 –> 00:20:05,560
\nmeeting week by week.
\nTake these symbols and make them<\/p>\n
381
\n00:20:05,560 –> 00:20:07,680
\na reality in your in your daily
\nliving. <\/p>\n
382
\n00:20:09,320 –> 00:20:12,120
\nHe took the cup and gave thanks
\nand gave it to them saying drink<\/p>\n
383
\n00:20:12,120 –> 00:20:15,440
\nall of it.
\nI used to smile at that when I <\/p>\n
384
\n00:20:15,440 –> 00:20:18,080
\nwas a little boy watching my mum
\nand dad drink drink the wine on <\/p>\n
385
\n00:20:18,080 –> 00:20:21,920
\na Sunday, always marvelling that
\nthey always left the cup half. <\/p>\n
386
\n00:20:21,920 –> 00:20:24,120
\nFull.
\nDrink all of it. <\/p>\n
387
\n00:20:24,600 –> 00:20:27,520
\nAnd of course it doesn’t just
\nmean empty the cup, it means <\/p>\n
388
\n00:20:27,520 –> 00:20:29,760
\ndrink.
\nDrink it in its fullness of what<\/p>\n
389
\n00:20:29,760 –> 00:20:31,960
\nit’s supposed to mean to you and
\nsignify to you. <\/p>\n
390
\n00:20:32,280 –> 00:20:35,200
\nThis is my blood of the New
\nTestament, shed for many for the<\/p>\n
391
\n00:20:35,200 –> 00:20:37,600
\nremission of sins.
\nAnd notice how John translates <\/p>\n
392
\n00:20:37,600 –> 00:20:40,360
\nthat simple statement.
\nA new commandment I’ve given to <\/p>\n
393
\n00:20:40,360 –> 00:20:42,240
\nyou, that you love one another
\nas I have loved you. <\/p>\n
394
\n00:20:42,480 –> 00:20:46,200
\nBy this will all men know that
\nyou are my disciples, if you <\/p>\n
395
\n00:20:46,200 –> 00:20:48,320
\nhave loved one for another.
\nThat’s what the apostle meant <\/p>\n
396
\n00:20:48,320 –> 00:20:49,800
\nthere in one Corinthians 11,
\nisn’t it? <\/p>\n
397
\n00:20:50,520 –> 00:20:53,200
\nAs often as you eat this bread
\nand drink this cup, you declare <\/p>\n
398
\n00:20:53,200 –> 00:20:55,680
\nthe Lord’s death.
\nYou make a statement, an <\/p>\n
399
\n00:20:55,680 –> 00:20:58,200
\nannouncement.
\nBy this all men will know that <\/p>\n
400
\n00:20:58,200 –> 00:21:02,560
\nyou are my disciples.
\nIf you have love one to another,<\/p>\n
401
\n00:21:02,560 –> 00:21:07,720
\nas I have loved you, that’s the
\ndeclaration we make. <\/p>\n
402
\n00:21:07,720 –> 00:21:11,360
\nBren sisters, that’s the
\nannouncement that we make when <\/p>\n
403
\n00:21:11,360 –> 00:21:14,280
\nwe declare the Lord’s death.
\nAs often as we eat this bread <\/p>\n
404
\n00:21:14,280 –> 00:21:16,080
\nand drink this cup.
\nAnd suddenly I realised that <\/p>\n
405
\n00:21:16,080 –> 00:21:18,800
\nwhat the apostle Paul was saying
\nwas he doesn’t mean, you know, <\/p>\n
406
\n00:21:18,960 –> 00:21:22,440
\n52 Sundays, 52 times, you
\nactually make a declaration <\/p>\n
407
\n00:21:22,440 –> 00:21:25,360
\nabout the the Lord’s death.
\nHe means as often as you eat <\/p>\n
408
\n00:21:25,360 –> 00:21:30,120
\nthis bread, as in loving one
\nanother and giving your bodies <\/p>\n
409
\n00:21:30,120 –> 00:21:33,360
\nin service.
\nAs often as you drink this cup, <\/p>\n
410
\n00:21:33,360 –> 00:21:34,840
\nHe doesn’t mean tasting the
\nwine. <\/p>\n
411
\n00:21:35,480 –> 00:21:38,480
\nHe means as often as you pour
\nout your lives. <\/p>\n
412
\n00:21:39,320 –> 00:21:42,920
\nIn service, that’s how you
\ndeclare. <\/p>\n
413
\n00:21:42,920 –> 00:21:45,720
\nYou make an announcement about
\nthe Lord’s death. <\/p>\n
414
\n00:21:45,720 –> 00:21:48,400
\nBy this all men will know.
\nLast one. <\/p>\n
415
\n00:21:49,600 –> 00:21:52,080
\nFor as often as you eat this
\nbread and drink this cup, you do<\/p>\n
416
\n00:21:52,080 –> 00:21:55,200
\nshow the Lord’s death.
\nAnd how does John keep that <\/p>\n
417
\n00:21:55,200 –> 00:21:58,200
\nmoving?
\nIf a man love me, he will keep <\/p>\n
418
\n00:21:58,600 –> 00:22:04,240
\nmy words if he really loves me.
\nIf he really wants to Remember <\/p>\n
419
\n00:22:04,240 –> 00:22:06,760
\nMe, there will be an action
\nthat. <\/p>\n
420
\n00:22:08,120 –> 00:22:11,120
\nLeaves the meeting room on a
\nSunday morning or whenever it <\/p>\n
421
\n00:22:11,120 –> 00:22:14,920
\nmight be.
\nIf a man really loves me, if he <\/p>\n
422
\n00:22:14,920 –> 00:22:19,000
\nreally wants to Remember Me in
\nhonour in his life or her life, <\/p>\n
423
\n00:22:19,000 –> 00:22:23,920
\nwhat I have done for him or her,
\nthen he will keep my words. <\/p>\n
424
\n00:22:23,920 –> 00:22:27,240
\nYou are my friends if you do
\nwhatsoever I command you. <\/p>\n
425
\n00:22:27,240 –> 00:22:29,760
\nAnd I’ve just taken some
\nsnippets there that you know so <\/p>\n
426
\n00:22:29,760 –> 00:22:32,720
\nwell from John 13 through John
\n16. <\/p>\n
427
\n00:22:33,320 –> 00:22:36,560
\nBut do you see how John, instead
\nof just condensing it down into <\/p>\n
428
\n00:22:36,560 –> 00:22:41,080
\none or two verses, gives us the
\nliving, practical understanding <\/p>\n
429
\n00:22:41,080 –> 00:22:44,920
\nof what those verses mean?
\nAs often as you eat this bread <\/p>\n
430
\n00:22:45,480 –> 00:22:49,280
\nand drink this cup, you declare
\nthe Lord’s death. <\/p>\n
431
\n00:22:50,600 –> 00:22:53,400
\nTo have really eaten the bread
\nis to have put our bodies into <\/p>\n
432
\n00:22:53,400 –> 00:22:56,680
\nthe service of Christ.
\nTo have really drunk from His <\/p>\n
433
\n00:22:56,680 –> 00:23:00,720
\ncup is to have poured out our
\nlives for His sake. <\/p>\n
434
\n00:23:01,840 –> 00:23:04,600
\nAnd General Brethren says, even
\nin that upper room, as the Lord <\/p>\n
435
\n00:23:04,600 –> 00:23:06,920
\ntook those two symbols, it seems
\nto me we have. <\/p>\n
436
\n00:23:08,760 –> 00:23:11,520
\nEven in the, even in the very.
\nThings that the Lord was doing. <\/p>\n
437
\n00:23:11,520 –> 00:23:14,240
\nWe have some of the finest
\nexamples of what He meant that <\/p>\n
438
\n00:23:14,240 –> 00:23:20,880
\nHe could have ever given to us.
\nBecause as He took the bread and<\/p>\n
439
\n00:23:20,880 –> 00:23:23,840
\nas He took the wine, he prayed
\ntwice. <\/p>\n
440
\n00:23:23,840 –> 00:23:27,200
\nJust just think about this and
\nI’m going to really try and take<\/p>\n
441
\n00:23:27,200 –> 00:23:28,520
\nthis slowly.
\nI know I’m going to run out of <\/p>\n
442
\n00:23:28,520 –> 00:23:31,680
\ntime, but I really want to.
\nThis is the slowest bit if I can<\/p>\n
443
\n00:23:31,680 –> 00:23:35,400
\nmake myself do it twice.
\nThe Lord went in prayer in the <\/p>\n
444
\n00:23:35,400 –> 00:23:38,800
\nupper room and one of the most
\nfrustrating things of my life <\/p>\n
445
\n00:23:39,160 –> 00:23:42,240
\nuntil I meet him one day will be
\nthat we don’t have the words of <\/p>\n
446
\n00:23:42,240 –> 00:23:47,560
\nthose prayers right.
\nBut we’re told this, that the <\/p>\n
447
\n00:23:47,560 –> 00:23:54,400
\nLord Jesus took bread and gave
\nthanks and he broke it and said <\/p>\n
448
\n00:23:54,400 –> 00:23:56,920
\nthis is my body which is given
\nfor you. <\/p>\n
449
\n00:23:57,720 –> 00:23:59,200
\nCan you just imagine for a
\nmoment? <\/p>\n
450
\n00:23:59,200 –> 00:24:01,680
\nI know it’s hypothetical,
\nbrethren, sisters, because and <\/p>\n
451
\n00:24:01,680 –> 00:24:04,080
\nthis side of the Kingdom will
\nnever know exactly what the Lord<\/p>\n
452
\n00:24:04,080 –> 00:24:07,840
\nsaid, but just try and imagine
\nfor a moment what the content of<\/p>\n
453
\n00:24:07,840 –> 00:24:11,120
\nthat prayer might have been.
\nBrethren, when you have to pray <\/p>\n
454
\n00:24:11,120 –> 00:24:14,600
\non a Sunday, you’re asked to
\npray for the memorial emblems. <\/p>\n
455
\n00:24:15,160 –> 00:24:17,680
\nTry and think about what this
\nprayer of the Lord might have <\/p>\n
456
\n00:24:17,680 –> 00:24:20,920
\nbeen.
\nAll we’re told is that it was a <\/p>\n
457
\n00:24:20,920 –> 00:24:24,680
\nprayer of thanks.
\nBut when I actually stopped to <\/p>\n
458
\n00:24:24,680 –> 00:24:28,840
\nthink about that, it just sent a
\nshiver down my spine because I <\/p>\n
459
\n00:24:28,840 –> 00:24:32,000
\nguess, and I might be wrong and
\nI’d love to discuss it with you <\/p>\n
460
\n00:24:32,000 –> 00:24:34,440
\nif you’ve got a view.
\nMy guess is that the Lord’s <\/p>\n
461
\n00:24:34,440 –> 00:24:37,920
\nprayer of thankfulness wasn’t
\nfor the actual bread on the <\/p>\n
462
\n00:24:37,920 –> 00:24:40,400
\nplate.
\nThank you for giving us this <\/p>\n
463
\n00:24:40,400 –> 00:24:42,360
\nloaf of bread that we can now
\nshare. <\/p>\n
464
\n00:24:42,400 –> 00:24:45,480
\nIt may, it may have been that.
\nI’m just saying personally for <\/p>\n
465
\n00:24:45,480 –> 00:24:48,120
\nme I’m guessing it was more than
\nthat because the words are. <\/p>\n
466
\n00:24:48,800 –> 00:24:51,320
\nJesus took bread and gave thanks
\nand he and he’d break it. <\/p>\n
467
\n00:24:51,320 –> 00:24:53,800
\nAnd he said to the disciples,
\nthis is my body. <\/p>\n
468
\n00:24:55,000 –> 00:24:58,440
\nThat’s what it is.
\nIt’s my body which is given for <\/p>\n
469
\n00:24:58,440 –> 00:25:00,080
\nyou.
\nAnd it was a prayer of <\/p>\n
470
\n00:25:00,080 –> 00:25:04,200
\nthankfulness.
\nCan you imagine that bread and <\/p>\n
471
\n00:25:04,200 –> 00:25:07,840
\nsisters, Father?
\nAnd I know I don’t want to be <\/p>\n
472
\n00:25:07,840 –> 00:25:10,040
\nflippant bread and sisters by
\ntrying to imagine what the <\/p>\n
473
\n00:25:10,040 –> 00:25:12,880
\nprayer of the Lord might have
\nbeen, but just just for the <\/p>\n
474
\n00:25:12,880 –> 00:25:17,000
\npurpose of our our class this
\nmorning, Father, I thank you for<\/p>\n
475
\n00:25:17,000 –> 00:25:21,000
\ngiving.
\nMe, this body that I have <\/p>\n
476
\n00:25:21,000 –> 00:25:23,520
\ndesired to put into service for
\nyour sake. <\/p>\n
477
\n00:25:24,520 –> 00:25:27,560
\nAnd I thank you that I am the
\none who in laying it down for <\/p>\n
478
\n00:25:27,560 –> 00:25:29,800
\nthese men and women will give
\nthem life. <\/p>\n
479
\n00:25:29,840 –> 00:25:33,240
\nAnd I thank you for giving me
\nthat opportunity and that <\/p>\n
480
\n00:25:33,240 –> 00:25:35,280
\nprivilege of serving you in that
\nway. <\/p>\n
481
\n00:25:36,360 –> 00:25:39,640
\nAnd he broke it and he said to
\nthem, this is my body which is <\/p>\n
482
\n00:25:39,640 –> 00:25:43,160
\ngiven for you.
\nThis do in remembrance of me <\/p>\n
483
\n00:25:44,040 –> 00:25:47,480
\nthat that just turned my world
\nBrentices inside out when I <\/p>\n
484
\n00:25:47,480 –> 00:25:51,040
\nthink about my prayers and how
\noften my prayers are prayers of <\/p>\n
485
\n00:25:51,040 –> 00:25:53,960
\nthankfulness do.
\nYou remember how the Apostle? <\/p>\n
486
\n00:25:53,960 –> 00:25:57,520
\nPaul said make you don’t be
\nanxious about anything, but in <\/p>\n
487
\n00:25:57,520 –> 00:26:00,680
\neverything with prayer and
\nsupplication, make your request <\/p>\n
488
\n00:26:00,680 –> 00:26:03,720
\nknown unto God.
\nBut he didn’t stop there, did <\/p>\n
489
\n00:26:03,720 –> 00:26:07,120
\nhe?
\nHe said with Thanksgiving, every<\/p>\n
490
\n00:26:07,120 –> 00:26:10,360
\nsingle time you pray it needs to
\nbe with Thanksgiving. <\/p>\n
491
\n00:26:10,360 –> 00:26:12,200
\nNow let let me tell you
\nsomething about my life, and <\/p>\n
492
\n00:26:12,200 –> 00:26:14,880
\nagain, this is personal
\nconfession time, and I’m <\/p>\n
493
\n00:26:14,880 –> 00:26:18,200
\ndesperately hoping that you guys
\nhave the same challenges in your<\/p>\n
494
\n00:26:18,200 –> 00:26:20,840
\nlife than I do.
\nOtherwise, this is humiliation <\/p>\n
495
\n00:26:20,840 –> 00:26:24,840
\ntime as well.
\nI find it really easy to go to <\/p>\n
496
\n00:26:24,840 –> 00:26:29,400
\nGod in prayer and say thanks
\nwhen my life’s going swimmingly.<\/p>\n
497
\n00:26:30,760 –> 00:26:34,560
\nBut when my back’s up against
\nthe wall and I’m standing at the<\/p>\n
498
\n00:26:34,560 –> 00:26:36,880
\nbottom of the barrel and
\neverything’s going at 100 miles <\/p>\n
499
\n00:26:36,880 –> 00:26:41,360
\nan hour and I’m out of control.
\nAnd I don’t like being out out <\/p>\n
500
\n00:26:41,360 –> 00:26:42,760
\nof control.
\nAnd I don’t know what’s going to<\/p>\n
501
\n00:26:42,760 –> 00:26:44,880
\nhappen next or what the
\nsolutions to my problems might <\/p>\n
502
\n00:26:44,880 –> 00:26:47,520
\nbe.
\nSaying thank you to God for <\/p>\n
503
\n00:26:47,520 –> 00:26:50,200
\nthose moments, those
\ncircumstances, those experiences<\/p>\n
504
\n00:26:50,680 –> 00:26:53,840
\ntends to require a discipline in
\nmy mind that I sometimes <\/p>\n
505
\n00:26:53,840 –> 00:26:57,280
\nstruggle to rise to.
\nAnd there’s a fine example in <\/p>\n
506
\n00:26:57,280 –> 00:26:59,080
\nthe Old Testament.
\nWe won’t turn to it now because,<\/p>\n
507
\n00:26:59,400 –> 00:27:00,720
\nas ever, the clock is against
\nme. <\/p>\n
508
\n00:27:00,720 –> 00:27:05,640
\nDo you remember Daniel?
\nA man who was at least 80 years <\/p>\n
509
\n00:27:05,640 –> 00:27:09,440
\nold, if not more, discovered
\nthat he was going to get thrown <\/p>\n
510
\n00:27:09,440 –> 00:27:13,120
\nto the lions.
\nHe was going to spend a night in<\/p>\n
511
\n00:27:13,120 –> 00:27:15,840
\nthe lions den.
\nFor all he knew, it might be his<\/p>\n
512
\n00:27:15,840 –> 00:27:19,520
\nlast night and when he.
\nKnew that was going to happen. <\/p>\n
513
\n00:27:19,520 –> 00:27:23,240
\nHis instinct was to open his
\nwindow there in Babylon towards <\/p>\n
514
\n00:27:23,240 –> 00:27:25,800
\nJerusalem.
\nAnd he got down on his knees and<\/p>\n
515
\n00:27:25,800 –> 00:27:29,680
\nhe prayed 3 times a day and the
\nrecord says like he always did. <\/p>\n
516
\n00:27:31,080 –> 00:27:34,400
\nAnd the only thing we’re told
\nabout that prayer of Daniel was <\/p>\n
517
\n00:27:34,400 –> 00:27:37,160
\nthat he said thanks.
\nThat’s all we’re told about it. <\/p>\n
518
\n00:27:38,840 –> 00:27:42,720
\nAnd I, I admire that man greater
\nthan he’ll ever know for that <\/p>\n
519
\n00:27:42,720 –> 00:27:46,320
\nprayer.
\nI don’t know how you would feel,<\/p>\n
520
\n00:27:46,320 –> 00:27:48,080
\nBren sisters, knowing you were
\nabout to be thrown to the lions,<\/p>\n
521
\n00:27:48,080 –> 00:27:50,400
\ngetting down on your knees and
\nsaying, well, do you know what, <\/p>\n
522
\n00:27:50,480 –> 00:27:54,880
\nFather?
\nI thank you for all that you do <\/p>\n
523
\n00:27:54,880 –> 00:27:56,400
\nfor me.
\nAnd I’d be racking my brains, <\/p>\n
524
\n00:27:56,400 –> 00:27:58,880
\neven if I was saying the words,
\nI’d be thinking, what has he <\/p>\n
525
\n00:27:58,880 –> 00:28:00,600
\ndone for me?
\nI’m about to be thrown to the <\/p>\n
526
\n00:28:00,600 –> 00:28:03,880
\nlions.
\nAnd here was the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
527
\n00:28:03,880 –> 00:28:08,160
\nChrist, Bren Sisters, in the
\nupper room with these men giving<\/p>\n
528
\n00:28:08,160 –> 00:28:13,120
\nthanks for the bread that was a
\nrepresentation of his body that <\/p>\n
529
\n00:28:13,120 –> 00:28:16,440
\nhe’d absolutely given
\nunflinchingly in service for <\/p>\n
530
\n00:28:16,440 –> 00:28:18,840
\nthese men.
\nAnd he could say thank you for <\/p>\n
531
\n00:28:18,840 –> 00:28:21,160
\nit.
\nThat’s what it means. <\/p>\n
532
\n00:28:21,160 –> 00:28:25,240
\nBrent is in your life.
\nTo, to do this in remembrance of<\/p>\n
533
\n00:28:25,240 –> 00:28:29,000
\nhim that you, that you elevate
\nyour mind and your thinking and <\/p>\n
534
\n00:28:29,000 –> 00:28:31,720
\nthe way in which you approach
\nyour life and the perspective <\/p>\n
535
\n00:28:31,720 –> 00:28:34,520
\nthat you bring to bear on the
\ndifferent circumstances that you<\/p>\n
536
\n00:28:34,520 –> 00:28:36,320
\ngo through.
\nSo that even when your back is <\/p>\n
537
\n00:28:36,320 –> 00:28:38,720
\nup against the wall, you can sit
\ndown. <\/p>\n
538
\n00:28:38,800 –> 00:28:41,800
\nYou can take a piece of bread.
\nAnd you can remember a man who, <\/p>\n
539
\n00:28:41,800 –> 00:28:44,520
\neven when his back should have
\nbeen never more pinned against <\/p>\n
540
\n00:28:44,520 –> 00:28:49,480
\nthe wall, could go to prayer in
\nprayer to his Father with a word<\/p>\n
541
\n00:28:49,480 –> 00:28:52,120
\nof thanks.
\nThat that blows my mind. <\/p>\n
542
\n00:28:53,440 –> 00:28:57,160
\nAnd he did it twice.
\nThis cup is the New Testament in<\/p>\n
543
\n00:28:57,160 –> 00:29:00,640
\nmy blood, which has been poured
\nout for you. <\/p>\n
544
\n00:29:01,760 –> 00:29:04,480
\nAnd he gave thanks.
\nI have to tell you, Brin <\/p>\n
545
\n00:29:04,480 –> 00:29:08,360
\nsisters, if that’d have been me,
\nI’m not sure it would have been <\/p>\n
546
\n00:29:08,360 –> 00:29:11,960
\na prayer of thankfulness.
\nI would have been racking my <\/p>\n
547
\n00:29:11,960 –> 00:29:15,440
\nbrains to wonder all the reasons
\nwhy God had made me, of all <\/p>\n
548
\n00:29:15,440 –> 00:29:18,040
\npeople, go through this.
\nWhy? <\/p>\n
549
\n00:29:18,040 –> 00:29:19,080
\nWhat?
\nWas there no other? <\/p>\n
550
\n00:29:19,080 –> 00:29:22,560
\nWay that he could.
\nSave men and women from their <\/p>\n
551
\n00:29:22,560 –> 00:29:25,960
\nworst fate than putting me
\nthrough all of these things for <\/p>\n
552
\n00:29:25,960 –> 00:29:29,800
\ntheir sake when there was no
\njustified reason for me going <\/p>\n
553
\n00:29:29,800 –> 00:29:31,680
\nthrough it.
\nIt would have been fine for you <\/p>\n
554
\n00:29:31,680 –> 00:29:33,520
\nto go through it, no problem.
\nYou deserved. <\/p>\n
555
\n00:29:33,520 –> 00:29:37,640
\nIt I, I don’t deserve it.
\nAnd yet for the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
556
\n00:29:37,640 –> 00:29:40,160
\nChrist, for instance, it was a
\nprayer of great thankfulness and<\/p>\n
557
\n00:29:40,160 –> 00:29:44,440
\ngratitude to God that He could
\nbe the one who could do this for<\/p>\n
558
\n00:29:44,440 –> 00:29:48,240
\nyou and for me.
\nAnd He asked us to do the same <\/p>\n
559
\n00:29:48,280 –> 00:29:50,800
\nin remembrance of Him.
\nHe asked to, He asked us to <\/p>\n
560
\n00:29:50,800 –> 00:29:54,440
\nelevate our mind and our
\nthinking and our attitude in our<\/p>\n
561
\n00:29:54,440 –> 00:29:58,320
\ndaily living.
\nIf we want to demonstrate that <\/p>\n
562
\n00:29:58,320 –> 00:30:01,160
\nwe’ve remembered we’ve been
\nthere in the presence of the <\/p>\n
563
\n00:30:01,160 –> 00:30:03,160
\nLord Jesus Christ.
\nWhen we took that bread and when<\/p>\n
564
\n00:30:03,160 –> 00:30:06,440
\nwe sipped from that cup, we
\nrecognised that there was a <\/p>\n
565
\n00:30:06,440 –> 00:30:09,760
\nchallenge being made in our life
\nand in the way we think and in <\/p>\n
566
\n00:30:09,760 –> 00:30:13,360
\nour response to our everyday
\ncircumstances, from having been <\/p>\n
567
\n00:30:13,360 –> 00:30:18,600
\nthere and witnessed His
\ndemeanour and his state of mind.<\/p>\n
568
\n00:30:18,640 –> 00:30:20,880
\nCome with me brother and
\nsisters, to One Peter chapter 2.<\/p>\n
569
\n00:30:29,000 –> 00:30:34,840
\nI want to finish this morning
\nwith with a another look at the <\/p>\n
570
\n00:30:34,840 –> 00:30:37,480
\nmind of the Lord Jesus Christ so
\nthat we can understand what it <\/p>\n
571
\n00:30:37,480 –> 00:30:42,640
\nmeans.
\nTo do as he has done that we can<\/p>\n
572
\n00:30:42,640 –> 00:30:45,320
\nunderstand what the challenge
\nlooks like in our daily living. <\/p>\n
573
\n00:30:45,800 –> 00:30:48,800
\nTo try and follow his example,
\nwhat it means to put our bodies <\/p>\n
574
\n00:30:48,800 –> 00:30:53,040
\ninto his service, what it means
\nto pour out our lives as he did <\/p>\n
575
\n00:30:53,040 –> 00:30:57,560
\ninto that cup for us if we
\nreally want to do and remember <\/p>\n
576
\n00:30:57,560 –> 00:30:59,040
\nhim.
\nWhat, what does that look like <\/p>\n
577
\n00:30:59,040 –> 00:31:03,000
\nin our in our daily living and
\nhere in one Peter? <\/p>\n
578
\n00:31:03,000 –> 00:31:06,040
\nChapter 2 Peter begins to give
\nus an insight into what that <\/p>\n
579
\n00:31:06,040 –> 00:31:07,600
\nmight mean and what it might
\nlook like. <\/p>\n
580
\n00:31:08,160 –> 00:31:11,160
\nOne Peter chapter 2 and verse
\n21. <\/p>\n
581
\n00:31:17,350 –> 00:31:20,110
\nFor this is what you’ve been
\ncalled to, says Peter. <\/p>\n
582
\n00:31:20,910 –> 00:31:23,190
\nBecause Christ also suffered for
\nyou. <\/p>\n
583
\n00:31:24,240 –> 00:31:29,040
\nLeaving you an example that you
\nshould follow in his steps. <\/p>\n
584
\n00:31:29,880 –> 00:31:34,560
\nWho did no sin, neither was
\nguile found in his mouth. <\/p>\n
585
\n00:31:34,560 –> 00:31:37,840
\nI just want to stop there and
\nthink about the challenge of the<\/p>\n
586
\n00:31:37,840 –> 00:31:40,760
\napostle Peter in those words.
\nThis is what you’ve been called <\/p>\n
587
\n00:31:40,760 –> 00:31:43,840
\nto.
\nHe says Christ suffered for you.<\/p>\n
588
\n00:31:44,320 –> 00:31:47,520
\nLeaving you an example that you
\nshould follow in his steps. <\/p>\n
589
\n00:31:47,520 –> 00:31:51,320
\nThere was some suffering that
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ endured <\/p>\n
590
\n00:31:51,640 –> 00:31:54,600
\nthat he wants you to have a go
\nat in your daily living. <\/p>\n
591
\n00:31:55,640 –> 00:31:59,120
\nHe can’t mean the cross, can he?
\nThe suffering that the apostle <\/p>\n
592
\n00:31:59,120 –> 00:32:02,560
\nPeter is referring to, there
\ncan’t be the cross because he’s <\/p>\n
593
\n00:32:02,560 –> 00:32:06,360
\nsaying he wants us to have a go
\nat following in his footsteps <\/p>\n
594
\n00:32:06,560 –> 00:32:08,000
\nand he doesn’t ask us to do
\nthat. <\/p>\n
595
\n00:32:08,000 –> 00:32:10,760
\nThat’s the absolute wonder
\nbrains sisters of the Lord Jesus<\/p>\n
596
\n00:32:10,760 –> 00:32:12,560
\nChrist.
\nHe never asked us to go to <\/p>\n
597
\n00:32:12,560 –> 00:32:16,880
\nCalvary with him.
\nHe did that for us, but there is<\/p>\n
598
\n00:32:16,880 –> 00:32:20,080
\nsome suffering the Lord asked us
\nto experience in our life, asked<\/p>\n
599
\n00:32:20,080 –> 00:32:23,480
\nus to be willing to have a go at
\nsome example that He wants us to<\/p>\n
600
\n00:32:23,480 –> 00:32:27,800
\nfollow, that we can do.
\nThis is what you’ve been called <\/p>\n
601
\n00:32:27,800 –> 00:32:30,280
\nto, says Peter.
\nChrist suffered for you, leaving<\/p>\n
602
\n00:32:30,280 –> 00:32:33,280
\nyou an example that you should
\nfollow in his steps. <\/p>\n
603
\n00:32:33,480 –> 00:32:35,560
\nAnd here’s the example.
\nHere’s the slap in the face that<\/p>\n
604
\n00:32:35,560 –> 00:32:37,040
\nthe Apostle Peter’s now going to
\ngive you. <\/p>\n
605
\n00:32:37,680 –> 00:32:44,680
\nVerse 22 Who did know sin?
\nThat’s the example. <\/p>\n
606
\n00:32:44,680 –> 00:32:46,600
\nHe wants you to have a go at
\nfollowing. <\/p>\n
607
\n00:32:47,360 –> 00:32:50,800
\nHe doesn’t expect you to achieve
\nit, but he wants you to have a <\/p>\n
608
\n00:32:50,800 –> 00:32:54,000
\ngo now Brent, this is in your
\ndaily living. <\/p>\n
609
\n00:32:55,200 –> 00:32:57,200
\nHere’s a challenge for you.
\nIf you’ve never tried it before,<\/p>\n
610
\n00:32:57,200 –> 00:33:00,240
\ntry having a sinless.
\nDay, just give it a go. <\/p>\n
611
\n00:33:01,160 –> 00:33:04,320
\nTry getting up in the morning
\nand thinking today I am going to<\/p>\n
612
\n00:33:04,320 –> 00:33:07,600
\nhave a go at a sinless day.
\nOne day in my life. <\/p>\n
613
\n00:33:07,960 –> 00:33:12,600
\nOne day when my thoughts, when I
\nwould not be ashamed in the <\/p>\n
614
\n00:33:12,600 –> 00:33:15,120
\npresence of the Lord Jesus
\nChrist to have him know all the <\/p>\n
615
\n00:33:15,120 –> 00:33:18,320
\nthings I think today.
\nI would not have the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
616
\n00:33:18,320 –> 00:33:22,920
\nChrist ashamed in my life today
\nby anything that I say, anything<\/p>\n
617
\n00:33:22,920 –> 00:33:26,600
\nthat I do, any place that I go,
\nanything that I allow my mind to<\/p>\n
618
\n00:33:26,600 –> 00:33:29,360
\ndwell upon or think.
\nYou know, in those instinct <\/p>\n
619
\n00:33:29,360 –> 00:33:32,720
\nmoments when something happens
\nand we go, you know, I’m going <\/p>\n
620
\n00:33:32,720 –> 00:33:34,840
\nto try and control it.
\nI’m going to try and take <\/p>\n
621
\n00:33:34,840 –> 00:33:38,320
\npossession of my mind and my
\nbody and I’m going to try and <\/p>\n
622
\n00:33:38,320 –> 00:33:43,560
\nhave a sinless day.
\nAnd well, it’s 10:30. <\/p>\n
623
\n00:33:44,040 –> 00:33:46,960
\nIf today had been the day, I
\nwonder how we would be doing, <\/p>\n
624
\n00:33:47,560 –> 00:33:51,320
\nYou know, and that’s the
\nchallenge when, sisters, the <\/p>\n
625
\n00:33:51,320 –> 00:33:55,160
\nLord Jesus Christ wants us to
\nhave a go at doing this is what <\/p>\n
626
\n00:33:55,160 –> 00:33:58,880
\nyou’ve been called to because
\nChrist suffered for you, leaving<\/p>\n
627
\n00:33:58,880 –> 00:34:02,200
\nyou an example that you should
\nfollow in his steps. <\/p>\n
628
\n00:34:02,200 –> 00:34:06,320
\nWho did know sin?
\nThat’s the example. <\/p>\n
629
\n00:34:08,080 –> 00:34:10,840
\nSuffering that Christ endured,
\nBrentsis is to be an example to <\/p>\n
630
\n00:34:10,880 –> 00:34:12,560
\nus.
\nThere is some suffering we can <\/p>\n
631
\n00:34:12,560 –> 00:34:16,120
\nhave a go at doing for his sake.
\nThe example we are to follow is <\/p>\n
632
\n00:34:16,120 –> 00:34:19,320
\nHis desire to do no sin.
\nAnd I wonder, Brents, is if this<\/p>\n
633
\n00:34:19,320 –> 00:34:23,600
\nis the do in Luke 22.
\nThis bread is my body which I’ve<\/p>\n
634
\n00:34:23,600 –> 00:34:26,679
\ngiven for you.
\nThis do in remembrance of me. <\/p>\n
635
\n00:34:27,400 –> 00:34:31,480
\nThis is what you’ve been called
\nto that Christ suffered for you.<\/p>\n
636
\n00:34:32,320 –> 00:34:34,760
\nLeaving you an example that you
\nshould follow in his steps. <\/p>\n
637
\n00:34:34,760 –> 00:34:35,400
\nAnd what?
\nWe’re going to. <\/p>\n
638
\n00:34:35,400 –> 00:34:39,320
\nDiscover Brent sisters is just
\nin our last 10 minutes or so is <\/p>\n
639
\n00:34:39,320 –> 00:34:42,520
\nthat the suffering the Lord
\nJesus endured in his desire to <\/p>\n
640
\n00:34:42,520 –> 00:34:45,840
\ndo no sin.
\nI’m going to suggest to you just<\/p>\n
641
\n00:34:45,840 –> 00:34:48,880
\njust for the purpose of our
\nclass this morning was greater <\/p>\n
642
\n00:34:48,880 –> 00:34:51,280
\nand more painful than any nail
\nthey could have driven into his <\/p>\n
643
\n00:34:51,280 –> 00:34:54,520
\nbody.
\nAnd if you try having a sinless <\/p>\n
644
\n00:34:54,520 –> 00:34:58,400
\nday just for one day, you’ll
\ndiscover how painful that was <\/p>\n
645
\n00:34:58,400 –> 00:35:02,480
\nfor the Lord Jesus Christ to do
\nthat unflinchingly for 33 1\/2 <\/p>\n
646
\n00:35:02,480 –> 00:35:05,720
\nyears.
\nAnd that’s the suffering, Brent <\/p>\n
647
\n00:35:05,720 –> 00:35:08,960
\nsisters, that’s the example that
\nyou and I have been called to <\/p>\n
648
\n00:35:09,040 –> 00:35:15,520
\nnot Calvary this this suffering
\ncoming into Hebrews chapter 5 <\/p>\n
649
\n00:35:15,520 –> 00:35:19,160
\njust back a few pages.
\nLet’s see how this develops. <\/p>\n
650
\n00:35:27,590 –> 00:35:29,470
\nLet’s see how.
\nMuch it meant to the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
651
\n00:35:29,470 –> 00:35:31,390
\nChrist, and I’m not going to
\ntake you this morning to any <\/p>\n
652
\n00:35:31,390 –> 00:35:33,550
\nwords that you don’t.
\nI’m guessing you don’t know <\/p>\n
653
\n00:35:33,550 –> 00:35:36,800
\nreally well.
\nHebrews chapter 5 and verse 7. <\/p>\n
654
\n00:35:36,800 –> 00:35:41,760
\nWho in the days of his flesh,
\nwhen he had offered up prayers <\/p>\n
655
\n00:35:41,760 –> 00:35:47,280
\nand supplications with strong
\ncrying and tears unto him, that <\/p>\n
656
\n00:35:47,280 –> 00:35:50,680
\nwas able to save him from death,
\nand was heard in that he feared <\/p>\n
657
\n00:35:51,560 –> 00:35:56,240
\nthough he was a son, yet he
\nlearned obedience by the things <\/p>\n
658
\n00:35:56,240 –> 00:35:59,880
\nwhich he suffered, and being
\nmade perfect, he became the <\/p>\n
659
\n00:35:59,880 –> 00:36:02,680
\nauthor of eternal salvation and
\nto all them that obey him. <\/p>\n
660
\n00:36:03,320 –> 00:36:06,080
\nI find that an absolutely lovely
\ninsight. <\/p>\n
661
\n00:36:06,080 –> 00:36:08,680
\nBrenthus is into the mind and
\nthe life of the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
662
\n00:36:08,680 –> 00:36:11,320
\nChrist.
\nWhat it’s telling us is that he <\/p>\n
663
\n00:36:11,320 –> 00:36:14,920
\ndidn’t find it easy.
\nFirst of all, he ended up on his<\/p>\n
664
\n00:36:14,920 –> 00:36:18,880
\nknees in prayer with strong
\ncrying and tears. <\/p>\n
665
\n00:36:19,320 –> 00:36:22,080
\nI don’t know how many times in
\nyour life when you’ve. <\/p>\n
666
\n00:36:22,120 –> 00:36:24,880
\nFelt the need to pray.
\nIt’s been on your knees with <\/p>\n
667
\n00:36:24,880 –> 00:36:27,680
\nstrong crying and tears.
\nI can. <\/p>\n
668
\n00:36:27,680 –> 00:36:29,680
\nMaybe I can.
\nWell, I don’t know. <\/p>\n
669
\n00:36:29,680 –> 00:36:31,800
\nMaybe it’s on one hand, isn’t
\nit? <\/p>\n
670
\n00:36:31,800 –> 00:36:37,320
\nI guess for me if that strong
\ncrying and tears because. <\/p>\n
671
\n00:36:37,320 –> 00:36:40,200
\nIt meant that.
\nMuch it was that important to me<\/p>\n
672
\n00:36:41,560 –> 00:36:43,480
\nand what it.
\nTells us is that even though he <\/p>\n
673
\n00:36:43,480 –> 00:36:47,400
\nwas the Son of God, verse 8, the
\nLord Jesus Christ had to learn <\/p>\n
674
\n00:36:47,400 –> 00:36:50,520
\nobedience just like all of us
\nhave to do in our lives. <\/p>\n
675
\n00:36:51,240 –> 00:36:54,280
\nThe Lord Jesus was no different.
\nHe had to learn obedience to His<\/p>\n
676
\n00:36:54,280 –> 00:36:56,600
\nFather, and yet this was the
\nmethod. <\/p>\n
677
\n00:36:57,000 –> 00:37:00,160
\nHe lured obedience by the things
\nwhich he suffered. <\/p>\n
678
\n00:37:00,760 –> 00:37:03,240
\nNow, Brendan, sis, I wanted to
\nask you to go back in your minds<\/p>\n
679
\n00:37:03,520 –> 00:37:07,120
\nand remember, however it was you
\nlearned obedience in your lives,<\/p>\n
680
\n00:37:07,120 –> 00:37:10,000
\nwhat the method was.
\nAnd if you’ve been watching us <\/p>\n
681
\n00:37:10,000 –> 00:37:12,320
\nwith Elias this week or any of
\nthe other families with <\/p>\n
682
\n00:37:12,320 –> 00:37:15,640
\nchildren, you have a very visual
\nexample right there in front of <\/p>\n
683
\n00:37:15,640 –> 00:37:17,880
\nyou.
\nHow do you learn obedience? <\/p>\n
684
\n00:37:18,040 –> 00:37:19,880
\nHow do any of us learn
\nobedience? <\/p>\n
685
\n00:37:20,160 –> 00:37:22,520
\nSure, we learn through
\nsuffering, but we learn through <\/p>\n
686
\n00:37:22,520 –> 00:37:26,520
\ntrial and error, don’t we?
\nWe spend our lives, you know, as<\/p>\n
687
\n00:37:26,520 –> 00:37:28,800
\nchildren.
\nAnd mum and Dad say, don’t touch<\/p>\n
688
\n00:37:28,800 –> 00:37:29,600
\nthat.
\nIt’s hot. <\/p>\n
689
\n00:37:30,040 –> 00:37:33,360
\nAnd what you discover is until
\nbaby has touched the hot thing, <\/p>\n
690
\n00:37:33,840 –> 00:37:38,800
\nhe never really knows what
\nobedience feels like, OK, how it<\/p>\n
691
\n00:37:38,800 –> 00:37:41,280
\ndoesn’t matter how many times
\nMum says, I don’t want you to go<\/p>\n
692
\n00:37:41,280 –> 00:37:42,760
\nthere.
\nI don’t want you to pick that <\/p>\n
693
\n00:37:42,760 –> 00:37:45,240
\nup.
\nThat knife will cut you until <\/p>\n
694
\n00:37:45,320 –> 00:37:48,800
\nyou know blood is flowing, until
\nbruises are showing. <\/p>\n
695
\n00:37:49,040 –> 00:37:53,480
\nWhat you discover is that that’s
\ntends to be the way human nature<\/p>\n
696
\n00:37:53,560 –> 00:37:59,720
\nlearns, learns obedience.
\nYou learn by trial and error and<\/p>\n
697
\n00:37:59,720 –> 00:38:01,880
\nwhat I, what I’ve discovered,
\nand again, here’s confession <\/p>\n
698
\n00:38:01,880 –> 00:38:03,480
\ntime.
\nIt doesn’t change as we get <\/p>\n
699
\n00:38:03,480 –> 00:38:04,680
\nolder, does it?
\nIt gets a bit more <\/p>\n
700
\n00:38:04,840 –> 00:38:06,200
\nsophisticated.
\nThat’s all. <\/p>\n
701
\n00:38:06,600 –> 00:38:08,640
\nSo as we get older, we spend our
\nlives going. <\/p>\n
702
\n00:38:08,640 –> 00:38:13,240
\nI wish I’d not said that.
\nIf I had my time again, I, I <\/p>\n
703
\n00:38:13,240 –> 00:38:15,960
\nwouldn’t have done that.
\nThat decision wasn’t good. <\/p>\n
704
\n00:38:16,440 –> 00:38:19,080
\nI understand the problems that
\ncame in my life from having made<\/p>\n
705
\n00:38:19,080 –> 00:38:21,840
\nthat choice.
\nI wished I’d not dealt with that<\/p>\n
706
\n00:38:21,840 –> 00:38:24,720
\nperson in that way.
\nAnd if I had my time again, I, I<\/p>\n
707
\n00:38:24,720 –> 00:38:26,200
\nwould, I would do that
\ndifferently. <\/p>\n
708
\n00:38:26,960 –> 00:38:29,480
\nAnd we learn by trial and error
\nevery single day. <\/p>\n
709
\n00:38:29,880 –> 00:38:32,400
\nAnd I suppose the challenge of
\nadulthood, which I’m one day <\/p>\n
710
\n00:38:32,400 –> 00:38:35,480
\ngoing to master, is to get to
\nthe point where you, where you <\/p>\n
711
\n00:38:35,520 –> 00:38:38,280
\nactually do what you say you’re
\nnot going to do anymore. <\/p>\n
712
\n00:38:38,440 –> 00:38:39,640
\nI’m not going to do that again.
\nI’m not. <\/p>\n
713
\n00:38:39,640 –> 00:38:41,440
\nGoing to say that again, I’m not
\ngoing to make that mistake <\/p>\n
714
\n00:38:41,440 –> 00:38:43,560
\nagain.
\nAnd one day, apparently my mum <\/p>\n
715
\n00:38:43,560 –> 00:38:46,280
\ntells me, you get to a point
\nwhere you stop making the same <\/p>\n
716
\n00:38:46,280 –> 00:38:49,080
\nmistakes over and over again.
\nBecause finally. <\/p>\n
717
\n00:38:49,080 –> 00:38:51,400
\nYou’ve learnt that they’re,
\nthey’re bad things, They don’t <\/p>\n
718
\n00:38:51,400 –> 00:38:53,400
\nhelp your life, they don’t help
\nthose around you. <\/p>\n
719
\n00:38:53,400 –> 00:38:55,200
\nAnd one day you learn to stop
\ndoing it. <\/p>\n
720
\n00:38:56,680 –> 00:38:59,520
\nThe Lord Jesus Christ, Princess,
\ncouldn’t learn obedience that <\/p>\n
721
\n00:38:59,520 –> 00:39:05,000
\nway, didn’t have the freedom to
\nlearn that way, couldn’t go <\/p>\n
722
\n00:39:05,000 –> 00:39:08,240
\nthrough life by going well.
\nWished I’d not done that, wished<\/p>\n
723
\n00:39:08,240 –> 00:39:10,760
\nI’d not said that, wished I’d
\nnot been there. <\/p>\n
724
\n00:39:11,320 –> 00:39:12,960
\nI wouldn’t have.
\nI wouldn’t make that choice <\/p>\n
725
\n00:39:12,960 –> 00:39:17,160
\nagain if I had my time again.
\nJesus didn’t have his time <\/p>\n
726
\n00:39:17,160 –> 00:39:20,680
\nagain.
\nJesus couldn’t learn obedience <\/p>\n
727
\n00:39:20,680 –> 00:39:24,800
\nthat way, couldn’t learn by
\nbumbling through life, making <\/p>\n
728
\n00:39:25,080 –> 00:39:30,920
\nmistake here and error there,
\nHad to learn obedience by a <\/p>\n
729
\n00:39:30,920 –> 00:39:34,400
\ndifferent kind of suffering.
\nAnd the suffering that the Lord <\/p>\n
730
\n00:39:34,800 –> 00:39:38,160
\nexperienced, for instance, is
\nthat taught him obedience, I <\/p>\n
731
\n00:39:38,160 –> 00:39:41,200
\nsuspect was probably different
\nto the suffering that teaches <\/p>\n
732
\n00:39:41,200 –> 00:39:42,720
\nHis obedience.
\nCome back with me just a couple <\/p>\n
733
\n00:39:42,720 –> 00:39:53,080
\nof pages to Hebrews chapter 2.
\nHebrews chapter 2 and verse 10 <\/p>\n
734
\n00:39:53,800 –> 00:39:58,000
\nFor it became him for whom are
\nall things and by whom are all <\/p>\n
735
\n00:39:58,000 –> 00:40:01,560
\nthings, in bringing many sons
\ninto glory to make the captain <\/p>\n
736
\n00:40:01,560 –> 00:40:04,840
\nof their salvation perfect
\nthrough suffering. <\/p>\n
737
\n00:40:05,560 –> 00:40:07,480
\nWhat was the suffering, Brent?
\nThis is that the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
738
\n00:40:07,480 –> 00:40:10,320
\nexperienced that made him
\nperfect. <\/p>\n
739
\n00:40:11,160 –> 00:40:13,720
\nI I don’t believe the right here
\nis talking about Calvary. <\/p>\n
740
\n00:40:13,720 –> 00:40:15,640
\nThat wasn’t the suffering that
\nmade him perfect. <\/p>\n
741
\n00:40:16,040 –> 00:40:18,560
\nThat wasn’t the suffering that
\nmade him sinless, A faultless <\/p>\n
742
\n00:40:18,560 –> 00:40:21,280
\nman, a man who went through
\nevery day not learning by <\/p>\n
743
\n00:40:21,480 –> 00:40:24,840
\nmistake, by faults, by by poor
\nexperience. <\/p>\n
744
\n00:40:25,320 –> 00:40:27,800
\nWhat was the suffering that the
\nLord Jesus endured, bun sisters,<\/p>\n
745
\n00:40:27,800 –> 00:40:30,320
\nthat made him perfect?
\nThis is the example we’re being <\/p>\n
746
\n00:40:30,320 –> 00:40:33,120
\nchallenged to follow.
\nVerse 18. <\/p>\n
747
\n00:40:34,000 –> 00:40:40,400
\nFor in that He himself hath
\nsuffered being tempted, He’s <\/p>\n
748
\n00:40:40,400 –> 00:40:42,720
\nable to succor them that are
\ntempted. <\/p>\n
749
\n00:40:43,560 –> 00:40:45,560
\nThe suffering that the Lord
\nJesus experienced. <\/p>\n
750
\n00:40:45,560 –> 00:40:48,560
\nPrincess, it sounds really
\nsimple when you just read this <\/p>\n
751
\n00:40:48,560 –> 00:40:50,120
\nverse.
\nThe suffering the Lord <\/p>\n
752
\n00:40:50,120 –> 00:40:53,240
\nexperienced was temptation.
\nAnd you go, Oh yeah, I know what<\/p>\n
753
\n00:40:53,240 –> 00:40:55,080
\nthat’s like.
\nI, I, I know what temptation <\/p>\n
754
\n00:40:55,080 –> 00:40:57,400
\nmeans.
\nOf course we do, because we give<\/p>\n
755
\n00:40:57,400 –> 00:41:00,880
\nin to it every day.
\nI can overcome everything except<\/p>\n
756
\n00:41:00,880 –> 00:41:04,480
\ntemptation, right?
\nThat’s I, you know, anything. <\/p>\n
757
\n00:41:04,480 –> 00:41:06,440
\nI can overcome anything except
\ntemptation. <\/p>\n
758
\n00:41:07,720 –> 00:41:10,960
\nAnd the Lord Jesus Christ had to
\nand the suffering that he <\/p>\n
759
\n00:41:10,960 –> 00:41:15,000
\nendured, Bren Sisters, was every
\ntime you and I think, oh, I, I <\/p>\n
760
\n00:41:15,000 –> 00:41:16,960
\nwished I’d not done that.
\nI wished I’d not said that I <\/p>\n
761
\n00:41:16,960 –> 00:41:19,240
\nwished I’d not been there.
\nThe suffering the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
762
\n00:41:19,240 –> 00:41:20,640
\nChrist had to experience was
\nthis. <\/p>\n
763
\n00:41:21,160 –> 00:41:23,360
\nI need to think now about what I
\nam going to say. <\/p>\n
764
\n00:41:24,680 –> 00:41:26,880
\nI need to think now about where
\nI am going to go. <\/p>\n
765
\n00:41:27,600 –> 00:41:30,200
\nI need to think about who I am
\ngoing to be and what I am going <\/p>\n
766
\n00:41:30,200 –> 00:41:32,800
\nto say and how I am going to
\nthink and what I am going to do.<\/p>\n
767
\n00:41:33,080 –> 00:41:36,280
\nI need to have such a a
\ndiscipline and a control over my<\/p>\n
768
\n00:41:36,280 –> 00:41:39,440
\nmind and my body.
\nThat I don’t look back in 5 <\/p>\n
769
\n00:41:39,440 –> 00:41:41,520
\nminutes time going.
\nI’ve lost it. <\/p>\n
770
\n00:41:41,560 –> 00:41:44,680
\nIt’s gone.
\nThat moment of sinlessness that <\/p>\n
771
\n00:41:44,680 –> 00:41:47,520
\nI’m, that I’m aiming for, for
\nyou and for me is gone. <\/p>\n
772
\n00:41:48,680 –> 00:41:50,080
\nJust like that.
\nJust so easy. <\/p>\n
773
\n00:41:50,080 –> 00:41:53,680
\nSin, sin to you and I, Brent and
\nsisters, costs nothing. <\/p>\n
774
\n00:41:54,720 –> 00:41:58,320
\nBecause we can, we can go and
\npray to God on a daily basis and<\/p>\n
775
\n00:41:58,320 –> 00:42:02,440
\nGod’s mercy is rich to forgive
\nus and to make up our our <\/p>\n
776
\n00:42:02,440 –> 00:42:06,440
\nweaknesses and our shortcomings.
\nSin meant a lot more to the Lord<\/p>\n
777
\n00:42:06,440 –> 00:42:09,080
\nJesus Christ.
\nHe couldn’t afford to do it or <\/p>\n
778
\n00:42:09,080 –> 00:42:11,640
\nhave it in his life for you and
\nfor me. <\/p>\n
779
\n00:42:11,640 –> 00:42:14,200
\nAnd he asked us to engage Brent.
\nThis is in that process. <\/p>\n
780
\n00:42:14,960 –> 00:42:17,320
\nThis is what you’ve been called
\nto, says the apostle Peter. <\/p>\n
781
\n00:42:18,200 –> 00:42:21,320
\nThe example of the Lord Jesus
\nChrist to engage in his <\/p>\n
782
\n00:42:21,320 –> 00:42:23,280
\nsufferings that you might follow
\nin His steps. <\/p>\n
783
\n00:42:23,520 –> 00:42:28,160
\nA man who.
\nDid no sin, this bread is my <\/p>\n
784
\n00:42:28,160 –> 00:42:32,080
\nbody which I have given for you.
\nThis do in remembrance of me. <\/p>\n
785
\n00:42:32,080 –> 00:42:35,560
\nHave a girl.
\nHave a go at elevating your mind<\/p>\n
786
\n00:42:35,560 –> 00:42:37,760
\nand your thinking.
\nHave a go at taking greater <\/p>\n
787
\n00:42:37,760 –> 00:42:40,640
\ncontrol of your life for my
\nsake. <\/p>\n
788
\n00:42:40,800 –> 00:42:43,480
\nIf you really want to Remember
\nMe, if you really want to <\/p>\n
789
\n00:42:43,480 –> 00:42:46,440
\ndemonstrate your understanding
\nof what I’ve done for you, then <\/p>\n
790
\n00:42:46,440 –> 00:42:48,240
\nyou have a go at doing it for
\nme. <\/p>\n
791
\n00:42:50,400 –> 00:42:52,280
\nCome over to Matthew 4 really
\nquickly. <\/p>\n
792
\n00:42:54,920 –> 00:42:57,200
\nThe writer of the Hebrew says
\nthat the the suffering the Lord <\/p>\n
793
\n00:42:57,200 –> 00:43:00,480
\nJesus experienced was by being
\ntempted. <\/p>\n
794
\n00:43:01,400 –> 00:43:03,600
\nAnd I suggested to you a moment
\nago, Bren Sisters, that that was<\/p>\n
795
\n00:43:03,600 –> 00:43:08,600
\na greater it was it felt like
\ngreater pain to the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
796
\n00:43:08,600 –> 00:43:11,720
\nChrist than any nail driven
\nthrough his body. <\/p>\n
797
\n00:43:13,400 –> 00:43:16,840
\nAnd as you know, in in what we
\nclassically call the temptations<\/p>\n
798
\n00:43:16,840 –> 00:43:19,720
\nof Jesus.
\nWell, in a way it’s defined for <\/p>\n
799
\n00:43:19,720 –> 00:43:22,360
\nus what that suffering felt like
\nand what it meant to the Lord <\/p>\n
800
\n00:43:22,440 –> 00:43:24,520
\nJesus.
\nAnd again, you know this scene <\/p>\n
801
\n00:43:24,520 –> 00:43:26,480
\never so well.
\nJesus verse one was led up of <\/p>\n
802
\n00:43:26,480 –> 00:43:29,320
\nthe spirit into the wilderness
\nto be tempted of the devil. <\/p>\n
803
\n00:43:29,320 –> 00:43:33,320
\nAnd when he’d fasted 40 days and
\n40 nights, he was hungry. <\/p>\n
804
\n00:43:33,880 –> 00:43:35,040
\nIt’s not really surprising, is
\nit? <\/p>\n
805
\n00:43:35,040 –> 00:43:37,600
\nWe made comments about the food
\nat Bible school yesterday. <\/p>\n
806
\n00:43:37,920 –> 00:43:39,520
\nWell, here’s another one.
\nWe have. <\/p>\n
807
\n00:43:39,520 –> 00:43:41,960
\nNo, we have.
\nWe struggle to stand in the <\/p>\n
808
\n00:43:41,960 –> 00:43:44,480
\nLord’s sandals in this moment in
\nthe wilderness, don’t we? <\/p>\n
809
\n00:43:44,680 –> 00:43:47,640
\nWe don’t go for like more than
\nthree hours without eating food.<\/p>\n
810
\n00:43:48,520 –> 00:43:51,760
\nIf you’ve ever tried going for
\n40 days without food, you’ll <\/p>\n
811
\n00:43:51,760 –> 00:43:54,240
\nknow what it does to your mind.
\nIt makes everything just feel a <\/p>\n
812
\n00:43:54,240 –> 00:43:56,080
\nlittle shaky.
\nI’m not telling you that from <\/p>\n
813
\n00:43:56,080 –> 00:43:58,120
\nexperience.
\nMaybe just a day or two without <\/p>\n
814
\n00:43:58,120 –> 00:44:02,880
\nfood and all of a sudden your
\nperspective starts to go and the<\/p>\n
815
\n00:44:02,880 –> 00:44:08,160
\nLord hasn’t eaten for 40 days.
\nAnd the tempter came to him and <\/p>\n
816
\n00:44:08,160 –> 00:44:11,440
\nsaid if you are the Son of God,
\ncommand that these stones be <\/p>\n
817
\n00:44:11,440 –> 00:44:15,320
\nmade bread and right there
\nbread. <\/p>\n
818
\n00:44:15,320 –> 00:44:18,640
\nAnd sisters, in that verse
\nyou’ve heard what the real <\/p>\n
819
\n00:44:18,640 –> 00:44:20,520
\ntemptation was for the Lord
\nJesus Christ. <\/p>\n
820
\n00:44:20,520 –> 00:44:22,080
\nI don’t know if you ever noticed
\nit before. <\/p>\n
821
\n00:44:22,360 –> 00:44:24,440
\nIt wasn’t to make stones into
\nbread. <\/p>\n
822
\n00:44:25,280 –> 00:44:27,760
\nIt was deeper than that.
\nRead it carefully. <\/p>\n
823
\n00:44:29,000 –> 00:44:34,280
\nWhen the tempter came to him,
\nverse 3, it said to him, if you <\/p>\n
824
\n00:44:34,360 –> 00:44:41,400
\nare the Son of God, that was the
\ntemptation bred and sisters it <\/p>\n
825
\n00:44:41,400 –> 00:44:42,480
\nwasn’t.
\nThe the the. <\/p>\n
826
\n00:44:42,640 –> 00:44:45,120
\nThe stones to bread was the
\nsecondary issue. <\/p>\n
827
\n00:44:45,640 –> 00:44:49,640
\nThe real challenge, the
\ntemptation was, if you are the <\/p>\n
828
\n00:44:49,640 –> 00:44:52,960
\nSon of God, are you really the
\nSon of God? <\/p>\n
829
\n00:44:53,320 –> 00:44:56,120
\nDo you really?
\nThink Jesus of Nazareth, son of <\/p>\n
830
\n00:44:56,120 –> 00:44:58,280
\nMary and Joseph is the Son of
\nGod. <\/p>\n
831
\n00:44:58,720 –> 00:45:00,360
\nAnd you think about that,
\nbrethren, sisters, for a moment,<\/p>\n
832
\n00:45:00,360 –> 00:45:02,560
\nand you put yourself in the
\nLord’s shoes and you think, <\/p>\n
833
\n00:45:02,560 –> 00:45:06,560
\nwell, I would have been
\nthinking, yeah, am I, am I <\/p>\n
834
\n00:45:06,560 –> 00:45:10,200
\nreally the Son of God?
\nI mean, I remember hearing it as<\/p>\n
835
\n00:45:10,200 –> 00:45:12,240
\nI came out of the Jordan.
\nJust look back at the last verse<\/p>\n
836
\n00:45:12,240 –> 00:45:14,760
\nof, of chapter 3.
\nA voice came from heaven saying,<\/p>\n
837
\n00:45:14,920 –> 00:45:17,720
\nthis is my beloved son in whom I
\nam well pleased. <\/p>\n
838
\n00:45:17,920 –> 00:45:20,760
\nAnd it was, it was as if all
\nheaven was ringing with the <\/p>\n
839
\n00:45:20,760 –> 00:45:23,480
\nwords, this is my beloved son in
\nwhom I am well pleased. <\/p>\n
840
\n00:45:23,720 –> 00:45:27,200
\nThat was six weeks ago and you
\nhaven’t eaten a meal since. <\/p>\n
841
\n00:45:28,520 –> 00:45:31,200
\nAnd now the challenge in your
\nmind is this, Are you really the<\/p>\n
842
\n00:45:31,200 –> 00:45:33,480
\nSon of God?
\nDo you really think you’re the <\/p>\n
843
\n00:45:33,480 –> 00:45:35,560
\nSon of God?
\nDo you really think that when <\/p>\n
844
\n00:45:35,560 –> 00:45:38,240
\nyou’re hanging there on the
\nstake with nails through your <\/p>\n
845
\n00:45:38,240 –> 00:45:41,000
\nwrists and your ankles that God
\nis really going to come and <\/p>\n
846
\n00:45:41,000 –> 00:45:43,640
\nraise you from the dead?
\nDo you really believe that? <\/p>\n
847
\n00:45:44,960 –> 00:45:46,200
\nHave you ever had those days,
\nBrent? <\/p>\n
848
\n00:45:46,200 –> 00:45:47,720
\nThis is where you just think to
\nyourself, do you know what? <\/p>\n
849
\n00:45:47,720 –> 00:45:49,920
\nI’ve lost my mind.
\nI don’t know what I’m doing. <\/p>\n
850
\n00:45:50,400 –> 00:45:53,040
\nThis whole thing that I’ve been
\nlearning since I was a kid, the <\/p>\n
851
\n00:45:53,040 –> 00:45:55,640
\nthe, the belief that one day the
\nLord Jesus Christ is going to <\/p>\n
852
\n00:45:55,640 –> 00:45:58,000
\ncome back, that there’s going to
\nbe an everlasting Kingdom of, of<\/p>\n
853
\n00:45:58,000 –> 00:45:59,680
\nrighteousness and and peace on
\nthis earth. <\/p>\n
854
\n00:45:59,680 –> 00:46:02,840
\nThat’s that’s ridiculous.
\nI must be losing my mind have. <\/p>\n
855
\n00:46:03,200 –> 00:46:06,280
\nYou ever had one of those days?
\nBrains, sisters, Johnny Munnell?<\/p>\n
856
\n00:46:06,280 –> 00:46:07,880
\nDo you really think this is all
\ntrue? <\/p>\n
857
\n00:46:07,880 –> 00:46:09,600
\nDo you really think that one day
\nthis is actually going to <\/p>\n
858
\n00:46:09,600 –> 00:46:11,720
\nhappen?
\nYou think Jesus didn’t have <\/p>\n
859
\n00:46:11,720 –> 00:46:16,840
\nthose days?
\nIf you are the Son of God, if <\/p>\n
860
\n00:46:16,840 –> 00:46:21,400
\nyou really think you are the Son
\nof God, go on, prove it, test <\/p>\n
861
\n00:46:21,400 –> 00:46:25,960
\nit, give me the evidence.
\nCan you imagine when, sisters, <\/p>\n
862
\n00:46:25,960 –> 00:46:30,440
\nhow that would have weighed on
\nthe Lord’s mind, knowing that he<\/p>\n
863
\n00:46:30,440 –> 00:46:31,760
\nwas going to have to hang on a
\ncross? <\/p>\n
864
\n00:46:31,760 –> 00:46:35,680
\nWouldn’t it be good to jump off
\nthe pinnacle of the temple and <\/p>\n
865
\n00:46:35,680 –> 00:46:39,920
\njust feel the angels beneath his
\nfeet so that when he did have to<\/p>\n
866
\n00:46:39,920 –> 00:46:42,840
\ngo on the cross, he would have
\nsome confidence that the Lord <\/p>\n
867
\n00:46:42,840 –> 00:46:45,200
\nwill be there?
\nHe wouldn’t need to rely <\/p>\n
868
\n00:46:45,200 –> 00:46:49,080
\nentirely on his faith and his
\nunderstanding of all the things <\/p>\n
869
\n00:46:49,080 –> 00:46:51,240
\nhis mother has been teaching him
\nall these years. <\/p>\n
870
\n00:46:51,640 –> 00:46:55,400
\nIf you are the Son of God, I
\ndon’t know about you, brother <\/p>\n
871
\n00:46:55,400 –> 00:46:57,600
\nand sisters, but I don’t think
\nwe’ve ever been tempted in that <\/p>\n
872
\n00:46:57,600 –> 00:47:01,480
\nway ever.
\nAnd the Lord found that <\/p>\n
873
\n00:47:01,480 –> 00:47:05,440
\nsuffering.
\nIf you are the Son of God every <\/p>\n
874
\n00:47:05,440 –> 00:47:07,800
\nday of his life, do you really
\nthink you need to do this, <\/p>\n
875
\n00:47:07,840 –> 00:47:09,760
\nJesus?
\nDo you really need to think you <\/p>\n
876
\n00:47:09,760 –> 00:47:12,560
\nneed to live in this way and put
\nyourself under this sense of <\/p>\n
877
\n00:47:12,920 –> 00:47:15,080
\ndiscipline and constriction in
\nyour life? <\/p>\n
878
\n00:47:15,080 –> 00:47:17,360
\nDo you really think that’s
\nthat’s really going to make an <\/p>\n
879
\n00:47:17,360 –> 00:47:19,040
\neternal difference for these
\npeople? <\/p>\n
880
\n00:47:20,920 –> 00:47:23,480
\nAnd Genobran says it mattered so
\nmuch to the Lord that he ended <\/p>\n
881
\n00:47:23,480 –> 00:47:29,280
\nup on his knees in prayer with
\nstrong crying and tears because <\/p>\n
882
\n00:47:29,280 –> 00:47:32,360
\nnot sinning to the Lord Jesus
\nChrist, not giving in to those <\/p>\n
883
\n00:47:32,360 –> 00:47:35,720
\ntemptations affected him to that
\nextent. <\/p>\n
884
\n00:47:36,600 –> 00:47:42,880
\nThat’s suffering, that’s
\nsuffering to to live your life <\/p>\n
885
\n00:47:42,880 –> 00:47:46,080
\nunder that level of discipline
\nand control for 33 years. <\/p>\n
886
\n00:47:46,720 –> 00:47:50,520
\nThat’s a challenge.
\nAnd that must have been painful <\/p>\n
887
\n00:47:50,520 –> 00:47:53,760
\nfor him.
\nAnd I’ve I don’t think I’ve ever<\/p>\n
888
\n00:47:53,760 –> 00:47:56,680
\ngot close Bren Sisters to that
\nin my life. <\/p>\n
889
\n00:47:56,680 –> 00:47:59,240
\nAnd yet what the Lord Jesus is
\nasking us to do, Bren sisters, <\/p>\n
890
\n00:47:59,640 –> 00:48:03,360
\nweek by week, when we come and
\ntake this bread and when we come<\/p>\n
891
\n00:48:03,360 –> 00:48:07,720
\nand drink from his cup, He’s
\nasking us to do as He did for <\/p>\n
892
\n00:48:07,720 –> 00:48:09,240
\nHis sake.
\nGive it a go. <\/p>\n
893
\n00:48:09,840 –> 00:48:14,040
\nTry and elevate your thinking in
\nyour mind when you leave the <\/p>\n
894
\n00:48:14,040 –> 00:48:17,160
\nmemorial meeting on a Sunday or
\nwhenever it might be, Try and <\/p>\n
895
\n00:48:17,160 –> 00:48:21,080
\ngive yourselves in service to
\nGod to the greatest extent that <\/p>\n
896
\n00:48:21,080 –> 00:48:22,920
\nyou can.
\nMake it something that matters <\/p>\n
897
\n00:48:22,920 –> 00:48:27,960
\nto you to discipline your lives
\nand give yourselves in service <\/p>\n
898
\n00:48:27,960 –> 00:48:30,160
\nfor Him.
\nLast reference Hebrews chapter <\/p>\n
899
\n00:48:30,160 –> 00:48:49,530
\n12.
\nAnd again, you know these words <\/p>\n
900
\n00:48:49,530 –> 00:48:53,690
\never so well.
\nWherefore, seeing we also <\/p>\n
901
\n00:48:53,690 –> 00:48:58,170
\naccomplished about with so great
\na cloud of witnesses, let us lay<\/p>\n
902
\n00:48:58,170 –> 00:49:03,810
\naside every weight and the sin
\nwhich so easily besets us, and <\/p>\n
903
\n00:49:03,810 –> 00:49:07,290
\nlet us run with patience the
\nrace that is set before us. <\/p>\n
904
\n00:49:07,890 –> 00:49:11,240
\nI once heard a preacher telling
\na story of, of a woman. <\/p>\n
905
\n00:49:11,240 –> 00:49:13,120
\nI guess it was an American thing
\nbecause we don’t have them in <\/p>\n
906
\n00:49:13,120 –> 00:49:16,440
\nour country.
\nThis, this lady drove into up to<\/p>\n
907
\n00:49:16,520 –> 00:49:19,320
\nher house and she had a number
\nof children and she saw her <\/p>\n
908
\n00:49:19,320 –> 00:49:21,640
\nchildren sitting on the doorstep
\nplaying with skunks. <\/p>\n
909
\n00:49:22,560 –> 00:49:24,080
\nWe don’t have skunks in our
\ncountry. <\/p>\n
910
\n00:49:24,080 –> 00:49:26,560
\nSo I’m relying on you to know
\nwhat that might be like. <\/p>\n
911
\n00:49:27,160 –> 00:49:29,080
\nAnd she was horrified when she
\nsaw it. <\/p>\n
912
\n00:49:29,080 –> 00:49:32,560
\nAnd she jumped out of the car
\nand she said, run, children run,<\/p>\n
913
\n00:49:32,560 –> 00:49:35,080
\nget away.
\nAnd each one of them picked up a<\/p>\n
914
\n00:49:35,080 –> 00:49:41,200
\nskunk and ran and you know, Bren
\nsisters, the challenge in our <\/p>\n
915
\n00:49:41,200 –> 00:49:47,040
\nlife is sin is like that.
\nLet us lay aside every weight <\/p>\n
916
\n00:49:47,840 –> 00:49:49,480
\nand the sin that besets us
\ninstead of. <\/p>\n
917
\n00:49:49,480 –> 00:49:52,640
\nPicking it up and running.
\nWith it everywhere we go, let’s <\/p>\n
918
\n00:49:52,640 –> 00:49:56,720
\nhave a go at putting it down,
\nleaving it behind, instead of <\/p>\n
919
\n00:49:56,720 –> 00:50:00,360
\nvoluntarily carrying it with us
\nand taking it with us, looking <\/p>\n
920
\n00:50:00,360 –> 00:50:01,920
\nunto Jesus.
\nAnd here’s the crux. <\/p>\n
921
\n00:50:02,520 –> 00:50:06,280
\nVerse 2 The author and finisher
\nof our faith, who for the joy? <\/p>\n
922
\n00:50:06,280 –> 00:50:09,800
\nThat was set before him, endured
\nthe cross, despising the shame <\/p>\n
923
\n00:50:09,800 –> 00:50:11,960
\nand is set down at the right
\nhand of the throne of God. <\/p>\n
924
\n00:50:12,200 –> 00:50:15,240
\nAnd here’s the challenge, Brent.
\nThis is for you and me for <\/p>\n
925
\n00:50:15,240 –> 00:50:18,360
\nconsider him.
\nWho endured such contradiction <\/p>\n
926
\n00:50:18,360 –> 00:50:21,120
\nof sins against himself in case?
\nYou ever get? <\/p>\n
927
\n00:50:21,120 –> 00:50:24,360
\nWeary and faint in your minds.
\nIn case you ever think Brent is <\/p>\n
928
\n00:50:24,360 –> 00:50:27,360
\nin your life, you’ve suffered
\nmore than anybody I know. <\/p>\n
929
\n00:50:27,360 –> 00:50:28,640
\nWe always feel like that, don’t
\nwe? <\/p>\n
930
\n00:50:28,640 –> 00:50:31,000
\nIn our lives, when when the
\nchips are down and things are <\/p>\n
931

\nblood in your strife against <\/p>\n
940

\ndo that, brother and sisters, <\/p>\n
942
\n00:51:05,360 –> 00:51:07,920
\nfor His sake.
\nHe never calls us to shed our <\/p>\n
943
\n00:51:07,920 –> 00:51:14,320
\nblood in our battle with sin.
\nSome men have done it, but He <\/p>\n
944
\n00:51:14,320 –> 00:51:19,920
\ndoesn’t call us to it.
\nHe just says, take, eat. <\/p>\n

\nThis is my body which I have
\ngiven for you, not will give, <\/p>\n

\ncoincidence Brent sisters that <\/p>\n
950
\n00:51:43,400 –> 00:51:46,800

\nsweat of his face he would eat <\/p>\n
951
\n00:51:46,800 –> 00:51:53,520

\nChrist to eat that bread to give<\/p>\n
952
\n00:51:53,520 –> 00:51:59,360
\nhis body in service caused such
\nsweat on his brow that it was <\/p>\n
953
\n00:51:59,360 –> 00:52:04,080
\nlike great drops of blood and
\nBren sisters in our lives. <\/p>\n
954
\n00:52:04,360 –> 00:52:08,720
