\nAnd now let’s talk. <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:27,600 –> 00:00:34,560
\nMore about this week’s talk.
\nHello everyone, this is brother <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:34,560 –> 00:00:37,720
\nSimon, new from the Whammy or
\nAnaclesia in Queensland, <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:37,720 –> 00:00:40,280
\nAustralia.
\nI’ve also been given the <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:40,280 –> 00:00:42,520
\nprivilege to help out on the
\nGood Chris Selfie and Talks <\/p>\n

13
\n00:00:42,520 –> 00:00:46,280
\npodcast.
\nThis week’s talk is that the <\/p>\n

14
\n00:00:46,280 –> 00:00:51,000
\ntitle Present Your Body’s Living
\nSacrifice by our brother Stephen<\/p>\n

15
\n00:00:51,000 –> 00:00:54,240
\nWhitehouse.
\nBrother Stephen takes us back to<\/p>\n

16
\n00:00:54,240 –> 00:00:59,280
\nGenesis 22 where Abraham goes to
\noffer Isaac as God asked and <\/p>\n

17
\n00:00:59,280 –> 00:01:03,640
\nshows how Isaac was the first
\nliving sacrifice recorded in the<\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:03,640 –> 00:01:06,360
\nBible.
\nHe highlights the change that <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:06,360 –> 00:01:10,320
\nneeds to happen within us that
\naffects the way we live and act <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:10,320 –> 00:01:15,480
\nevery day to allow God’s Word to
\ntransform us to be more like <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:15,480 –> 00:01:18,520
\nChrist.
\nBrother Stephen challenges us <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:18,960 –> 00:01:23,600
\nthat true worship is what we
\nbecome, not what we do. <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:24,720 –> 00:01:26,720
\nSo here is our brother Stephen’s
\nExor. <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:26,720 –> 00:01:28,840
\nPresent your bodies a living
\nsacrifice. <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:29,280 –> 00:01:31,840
\nWell, good morning brothers and
\nsisters and young people. <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:33,320 –> 00:01:37,800
\nIf I were to use the word
\nworship, I want us to think <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:37,800 –> 00:01:41,360
\nabout that word for a moment.
\nIf I were to say the word <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:41,360 –> 00:01:47,200
\nworship, what does that bring to
\nmind for you personally? <\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:49,160 –> 00:01:52,560
\nWell, of course, we, we, we
\nthink about our, our hymns and <\/p>\n

30
\n00:01:52,560 –> 00:01:56,840
\nour prayers and, and coming to
\nthe meeting, maybe that’s the <\/p>\n

31
\n00:01:56,840 –> 00:01:58,200
\nfirst thing that we’ll think
\nabout. <\/p>\n

32
\n00:01:58,280 –> 00:02:04,200
\nBut that’s all about what we do.
\nAnd when you look closely to the<\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:04,200 –> 00:02:07,720
\nscriptures, you, you find that
\nworship is all about what we <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:07,880 –> 00:02:10,479
\nbecome.
\nWant you to think about that. <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:12,200 –> 00:02:17,960
\nIt’s not what we do.
\nWorship is all about what we <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:17,960 –> 00:02:23,760
\nbecome and it presents to us a a
\nhuge challenge because the <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:23,760 –> 00:02:26,720
\ncloser we look at the word
\nworship in Scripture, it talks <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:26,720 –> 00:02:30,520
\nabout a change, a transformation
\nthat comes from within and it is<\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:30,520 –> 00:02:32,680
\ncontinual.
\nAnd it’s the apostle Paul for <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:32,680 –> 00:02:36,680
\ninspiration who presents that
\nidea this morning as a living <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:37,440 –> 00:02:40,480
\nsacrifice.
\nAnd that’s what we’re going to <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:40,480 –> 00:02:44,400
\nbase our exhortation on this
\nmorning, the idea of a living <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:44,400 –> 00:02:46,280
\nsacrifice.
\nSo can we open up the God’s Word<\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:46,280 –> 00:02:48,080
\nnow?
\nAnd let’s have a look at Romans <\/p>\n

45
\n00:02:48,280 –> 00:02:51,080
\nchapter 12.
\nAnd it’s lovely, isn’t it, that <\/p>\n

46
\n00:02:51,080 –> 00:02:54,480
\nit came in the announcements, it
\ncame in Brother Gunk’s prayer, <\/p>\n

47
\n00:02:54,600 –> 00:02:59,400
\nand now here in verse one.
\nI beseech you, therefore, <\/p>\n

48
\n00:02:59,400 –> 00:03:03,400
\nbrethren, by the mercies of God,
\nthat you present your bodies as <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:03,400 –> 00:03:05,800
\na living sacrifice.
\nNow just to imagine for a moment<\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:05,920 –> 00:03:09,280
\nhow that would have felt to the
\nbrothers and sisters at Rome <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:09,280 –> 00:03:12,000
\nhere as they they read these
\nwords for the first time. <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:15,360 –> 00:03:18,080
\nA living sacrifice.
\nThat would have been a shocking <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:18,080 –> 00:03:21,360
\nphrase, wouldn’t it?
\nBecause sacrifice was all about <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:21,360 –> 00:03:24,520
\ndeath.
\nBut this was something very <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:24,520 –> 00:03:29,440
\ndifferent, wasn’t it?
\nPaul says here that you present <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:29,440 –> 00:03:32,360
\nyour bodies as a living
\nsacrifice. <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:32,360 –> 00:03:34,560
\nIf you look at the Greek, the
\nidea here is worth picking up a <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:34,560 –> 00:03:37,680
\npencil because we’re going to
\npick out a few little phrases <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:37,680 –> 00:03:41,200
\nand and and quotations and cross
\nreferences this morning. <\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:42,240 –> 00:03:48,600
\nThe idea to present your bodies
\nis the idea to stand before. <\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:48,600 –> 00:03:50,240
\nThat’s the idea in the Greek.
\nThink about that. <\/p>\n

62
\n00:03:50,360 –> 00:03:53,000
\nIt’s the idea of standing
\nbefore. <\/p>\n

63
\n00:03:53,160 –> 00:03:56,000
\nThen the obvious question is in
\nfront of whom? <\/p>\n

64
\n00:03:59,400 –> 00:04:04,880
\nGod.
\nNow suddenly it becomes very <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:04,880 –> 00:04:09,560
\ndirect, doesn’t it, That as we
\nlive our life, we are standing <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:10,160 –> 00:04:14,080
\nbefore God and he is watching,
\nhe is observing all things. <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:14,080 –> 00:04:17,079
\nAnd I want to just just give you
\nan idea of how this word is used<\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:17,079 –> 00:04:18,279
\nin Scripture.
\nWe’re going to come back to <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:18,279 –> 00:04:20,320
\nRomans chapter 12.
\nI want to just by way of <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:20,320 –> 00:04:22,960
\nillustration, use that word.
\nCome with me to Luke chapter 2. <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:23,320 –> 00:04:26,760
\nAnd you know this, this is about
\nMary who presents the Lord Jesus<\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:26,760 –> 00:04:29,520
\nChrist Jesus as a, as a child
\nhere in the temple. <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:29,720 –> 00:04:31,640
\nAnd he picks up the very same
\nword. <\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:31,760 –> 00:04:35,040
\nAnd it gives us an idea of what
\nthis presenting as a living <\/p>\n

75
\n00:04:35,040 –> 00:04:38,840
\nsacrifice is all about.
\nSo here then in Luke chapter 2, <\/p>\n

76
\n00:04:39,120 –> 00:04:42,000
\nverse 21, we read these words,
\nthese well known words. <\/p>\n

77
\n00:04:42,000 –> 00:04:44,240
\nAnd when 8 days were
\naccomplished for the <\/p>\n

78
\n00:04:44,240 –> 00:04:47,640
\ncircumcising of the child, his
\nname was called Jesus, which was<\/p>\n

79
\n00:04:47,640 –> 00:04:51,160
\nso named of the Angel, because
\nbefore he was conceived in the <\/p>\n

80
\n00:04:51,160 –> 00:04:53,800
\nwomb.
\nAnd when the days of her <\/p>\n

81
\n00:04:53,800 –> 00:04:57,400
\npurification according to the
\nLord Moses were accomplished, <\/p>\n

82
\n00:04:57,400 –> 00:04:59,520
\nhere we are.
\nThey brought him to Jerusalem. <\/p>\n

83
\n00:04:59,520 –> 00:05:03,600
\nTwo, there you are present.
\nIt’s the same word. <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:04,120 –> 00:05:07,440
\nPresent your bodies as a living
\nsacrifice. <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:07,440 –> 00:05:12,880
\nAnd here Jesus was presented.
\nNow why was he presented at this<\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:12,880 –> 00:05:16,400
\npoint of time?
\nBecause He was the first born of<\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:16,400 –> 00:05:18,960
\nMary.
\nAnd under the Law, the first <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:18,960 –> 00:05:23,840
\nborn of any family needed to be
\nredeemed to remind every single <\/p>\n

89
\n00:05:23,840 –> 00:05:27,200
\nIsraelite that they were
\nredeemed by the precious blood <\/p>\n

90
\n00:05:27,200 –> 00:05:29,000
\nof the lamb when they came out
\nof Egypt. <\/p>\n

91
\n00:05:29,000 –> 00:05:32,320
\nCan you see the point?
\nSo it’s worth just putting in <\/p>\n

92
\n00:05:32,320 –> 00:05:36,520
\nyour margin there Numbers 18
\nverses 15 to 16, because this is<\/p>\n

93
\n00:05:36,520 –> 00:05:39,520
\nwhat it’s taking our minds back.
\nIt’s talking about deliverance <\/p>\n

94
\n00:05:39,520 –> 00:05:44,000
\nfrom Egypt and, and, and the
\nritual in the family was that <\/p>\n

95
\n00:05:44,000 –> 00:05:48,560
\nevery father needed to pay 5
\nshekels for their first born son<\/p>\n

96
\n00:05:48,760 –> 00:05:52,600
\nto remind them that under the
\nlaw they would have lost their <\/p>\n

97
\n00:05:52,600 –> 00:05:56,440
\nson without the shedding of the
\nprecious blood of the lamb. <\/p>\n

98
\n00:05:59,680 –> 00:06:01,920
\nSo suddenly in our brothers and
\nsisters, we’ve got this little <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:01,920 –> 00:06:05,000
\nconnection, haven’t we, to
\npresent our bodies as a living <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:05,000 –> 00:06:08,520
\nsacrifice.
\nIt’s reminding us, you and me <\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:08,520 –> 00:06:11,960
\nthis morning that we have been
\nredeemed. <\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:12,880 –> 00:06:15,040
\nDo you feel it?
\nBrothers and sisters, there was <\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:15,040 –> 00:06:16,400
\na lot of energy in the hall this
\nmorning. <\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:16,600 –> 00:06:21,720
\nWe, we do, don’t we?
\nRedeemed by the precious blood <\/p>\n

105
\n00:06:21,720 –> 00:06:23,560
\nof the Lord Jesus Christ, you
\nand I. <\/p>\n

106
\n00:06:23,560 –> 00:06:26,000
\nAnd we’re going to see this
\ntheme come out loudly this <\/p>\n

107
\n00:06:26,000 –> 00:06:28,760
\nmorning.
\nWe came out of Egypt, we were <\/p>\n

108
\n00:06:28,760 –> 00:06:30,840
\nsaved.
\nWe are precious in God’s sight. <\/p>\n

109
\n00:06:31,360 –> 00:06:35,480
\nAnd so therefore, then we need
\nto respond in thankfulness. <\/p>\n

110
\n00:06:37,640 –> 00:06:39,800
\nSo the apostle Paul says, then
\nthink about this, think about <\/p>\n

111
\n00:06:39,800 –> 00:06:41,960
\nEgypt, think about coming out
\nthat you’ve been redeemed by the<\/p>\n

112
\n00:06:41,960 –> 00:06:43,920
\nprecious blood of the the Lord
\nJesus Christ. <\/p>\n

113
\n00:06:43,920 –> 00:06:45,560
\nThink about that, brothers and
\nsisters. <\/p>\n

114
\n00:06:46,040 –> 00:06:49,200
\nAnd so he says then, then it is
\nyour reasonable service. <\/p>\n

115
\n00:06:50,200 –> 00:06:53,080
\nPoor translation really.
\nIn the KJV it is your reasonable<\/p>\n

116
\n00:06:53,080 –> 00:06:56,000
\nservice and the word reasonable,
\nyou’ll see in your margin is <\/p>\n

117
\n00:06:56,000 –> 00:07:00,600
\nspiritual but better.
\nIt is the word logica with AK <\/p>\n

118
\n00:07:01,320 –> 00:07:06,760
\nlogica.
\nAnd that word logica got passed <\/p>\n

119
\n00:07:06,760 –> 00:07:11,760
\ndown to the Romans and they
\ncalled it logica and we call it <\/p>\n

120
\n00:07:13,200 –> 00:07:19,320
\nlogical as you think about what
\nGod has done for you and me. <\/p>\n

121
\n00:07:19,480 –> 00:07:21,600
\nAnd This is why the exhortation
\nis so lovely, isn’t it? <\/p>\n

122
\n00:07:21,600 –> 00:07:28,320
\nAs we reflect upon our own
\nsalvation, It is the logical <\/p>\n

123
\n00:07:28,320 –> 00:07:32,200
\nresponse.
\nIt’s not an emotional response. <\/p>\n

124
\n00:07:33,320 –> 00:07:39,240
\nIt is the only rational thing in
\nthis irrational world. <\/p>\n

125
\n00:07:40,680 –> 00:07:45,520
\nIt is the only rational thing
\nthat you and I can do. <\/p>\n

126
\n00:07:45,520 –> 00:07:48,160
\nNow, isn’t that amazing?
\nBecause this world is, is based <\/p>\n

127
\n00:07:48,160 –> 00:07:51,120
\nupon logic.
\nYet here the apostle Paul under <\/p>\n

128
\n00:07:51,120 –> 00:07:55,400
\ninspiration, is using that word
\nand logic, real, true logic. <\/p>\n

129
\n00:07:56,600 –> 00:08:00,680
\nIs offering yourself as a living
\nsacrifice. <\/p>\n

130
\n00:08:00,880 –> 00:08:02,720
\nTotally illogical in this world,
\nisn’t it? <\/p>\n

131
\n00:08:02,880 –> 00:08:07,880
\nTotally illogical.
\nBut under Scripture, it’s <\/p>\n

132
\n00:08:08,000 –> 00:08:12,360
\nlogical.
\nWe’re special brothers and <\/p>\n

133
\n00:08:12,360 –> 00:08:14,520
\nsisters.
\nWe’re very special in God’s <\/p>\n

134
\n00:08:14,520 –> 00:08:16,080
\nsight.
\nCome back then to Romans chapter<\/p>\n

135
\n00:08:16,080 –> 00:08:19,440
\n12.
\nSo then, then with this with <\/p>\n

136
\n00:08:19,440 –> 00:08:22,640
\nthis logical response here, the
\nthe apostle goes on to say, and <\/p>\n

137
\n00:08:22,640 –> 00:08:25,280
\nI and I love the way that
\nbrother Phil emphasized these <\/p>\n

138
\n00:08:25,280 –> 00:08:29,120
\nwords here in verse 2 and be not
\nconformed to the world, but be <\/p>\n

139
\n00:08:29,120 –> 00:08:32,159
\nye transformed by the renewing
\nof your warrant mind. <\/p>\n

140
\n00:08:32,280 –> 00:08:34,520
\nAnd and and I’m sure you know
\nthat that word transformed. <\/p>\n

141
\n00:08:34,520 –> 00:08:37,200
\nIt’s a very special Greek word.
\nIt’s Metamorphu. <\/p>\n

142
\n00:08:40,280 –> 00:08:44,600
\nIt’s the metamorphosis.
\nIt’s the word that’s used in <\/p>\n

143
\n00:08:44,600 –> 00:08:47,320
\nMatthew 17 and verse two of the
\nLord Jesus Christ who was <\/p>\n

144
\n00:08:47,840 –> 00:08:52,800
\ntransfigured in front of his
\nthree disciples and he was <\/p>\n

145
\n00:08:52,800 –> 00:08:54,480
\naltogether brilliant.
\nIn fact, it says there in <\/p>\n

146
\n00:08:54,480 –> 00:08:57,920
\nMatthew 17 and verse 2 that he’s
\nfaced did shine as the sun and <\/p>\n

147
\n00:08:57,920 –> 00:09:00,320
\nhis raiment was as light.
\nCan you see the point, brothers <\/p>\n

148
\n00:09:00,320 –> 00:09:04,400
\nand sisters, as as we go through
\nthis life with God’s Word <\/p>\n

149
\n00:09:04,400 –> 00:09:07,920
\nworking within us, we become
\nbeautiful in God’s sight. <\/p>\n

150
\n00:09:07,920 –> 00:09:10,760
\nWe are transformed, but the
\ntransformation takes place <\/p>\n

151
\n00:09:10,760 –> 00:09:14,640
\nthrough God’s Word within.
\nIt’s not without. <\/p>\n

152
\n00:09:16,360 –> 00:09:24,400
\nIt starts within metamorpho.
\nBe ye not conformed, but be ye <\/p>\n

153
\n00:09:24,440 –> 00:09:27,240
\ntransformed now.
\nNow the idea of conformed is, is<\/p>\n

154
\n00:09:27,240 –> 00:09:30,400
\nsomething that is convenient.
\nIt’s something that requires no <\/p>\n

155
\n00:09:30,400 –> 00:09:33,560
\nenergy, no input at all, no
\ntime, no sacrifice. <\/p>\n

156
\n00:09:38,720 –> 00:09:48,400
\nBut be ye transformed requires
\ntime, effort, prayer, pouring <\/p>\n

157
\n00:09:48,400 –> 00:09:52,000
\nover God’s Word.
\nBrothers and sisters, this is a <\/p>\n

158
\n00:09:52,000 –> 00:09:54,600
\nhuge challenge for you and me as
\nwe sit here on a Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

159
\n00:09:58,040 –> 00:10:04,800
\nIs God working in your life in
\nsuch a way that you can feel you<\/p>\n

160
\n00:10:04,800 –> 00:10:13,200
\ncan feel transformation?
\nOr are you merely conformed, <\/p>\n

161
\n00:10:14,360 –> 00:10:17,800
\nstandardised, consistent with
\neverything around you? <\/p>\n

162
\n00:10:18,680 –> 00:10:20,640
\nWhat a challenge that is.
\nBrothers and sisters, for you <\/p>\n

163
\n00:10:20,640 –> 00:10:28,560
\nand me in the Ecclesia without,
\nit starts with God, God’s Word <\/p>\n

164
\n00:10:28,680 –> 00:10:32,480
\nworking within our lives.
\nNow if we just reflect for a <\/p>\n

165
\n00:10:32,480 –> 00:10:35,560
\nmoment and we, we just pondered
\nthat phrase, living, sacrifice, <\/p>\n

166
\n00:10:35,560 –> 00:10:37,520
\nit’s a paradox, isn’t it?
\nIt’s a contradiction. <\/p>\n

167
\n00:10:37,520 –> 00:10:39,920
\nAnd the reason why it’s a
\ncontradiction is because it <\/p>\n

168
\n00:10:39,920 –> 00:10:45,120
\nbrings together, it pulls
\ntogether 2 ideas, living and <\/p>\n

169
\n00:10:45,120 –> 00:10:51,120
\nsacrifice, life and death.
\nAnd it’s a contradiction, isn’t <\/p>\n

170
\n00:10:51,120 –> 00:10:54,440
\nit, brothers and sisters?
\nBut it’s not. <\/p>\n

171
\n00:10:56,080 –> 00:10:59,720
\nAnd what I want to show you now,
\nsomething I believe here that <\/p>\n

172
\n00:10:59,720 –> 00:11:02,400
\nthe apostle Paul under
\ninspiration is taking our minds <\/p>\n

173
\n00:11:02,400 –> 00:11:06,600
\nback to a principle, an example.
\nI believe all of this in Romans <\/p>\n

174
\n00:11:06,600 –> 00:11:11,720
\nchapter 12 is based upon one
\nparticular scriptural example or<\/p>\n

175
\n00:11:11,720 –> 00:11:15,240
\nprinciple, I should say a
\nblueprint. <\/p>\n

176
\n00:11:16,840 –> 00:11:18,560
\nAnd then it’s illustrated by two
\nexamples. <\/p>\n

177
\n00:11:18,760 –> 00:11:21,240
\nAnd if we haven’t seen this, I
\nonly discover this in my own <\/p>\n

178
\n00:11:21,240 –> 00:11:22,560
\nstudies here.
\nIf you know this, that’s <\/p>\n

179
\n00:11:22,560 –> 00:11:25,880
\nwonderful.
\nIt’s just so wonderful when I <\/p>\n

180
\n00:11:25,880 –> 00:11:29,080
\ndiscovered it.
\nLet’s have a look then at <\/p>\n

181
\n00:11:29,080 –> 00:11:33,440
\nGenesis chapter 22.
\nWe’re going here to see where <\/p>\n

182
\n00:11:33,440 –> 00:11:37,200
\nthe whole idea of a living
\nsacrifice is rooted, brothers <\/p>\n

183
\n00:11:37,200 –> 00:11:38,480
\nand sisters.
\nSo we’re going to do a little <\/p>\n

184
\n00:11:38,480 –> 00:11:41,480
\nbit of exposition, but then it’s
\npowerful excitation. <\/p>\n

185
\n00:11:41,480 –> 00:11:43,760
\nIt’s so moving.
\nGenesis chapter 22 then. <\/p>\n

186
\n00:11:46,480 –> 00:11:49,200
\nSo what we’re trying to do now
\nis discover this idea of a <\/p>\n

187
\n00:11:49,240 –> 00:11:53,880
\nliving sacrifice.
\nAnd I believe here this event <\/p>\n

188
\n00:11:54,160 –> 00:11:59,120
\nlays out the Bible principle.
\nSo Genesis chapter 22. <\/p>\n

189
\n00:11:59,120 –> 00:12:01,440
\nI don’t need to introduce this
\nchapter to you, do I? <\/p>\n

190
\n00:12:01,560 –> 00:12:03,360
\nFirst one.
\nThen it came to pass after these<\/p>\n

191
\n00:12:03,360 –> 00:12:05,840
\nthings that God did tempt
\nAbraham, and said unto him, <\/p>\n

192
\n00:12:06,040 –> 00:12:08,480
\nAbraham.
\nAnd he said, Behold, here am I. <\/p>\n

193
\n00:12:09,320 –> 00:12:13,200
\nAnd he said, Take now thy son,
\nthine only son Isaac, whom thou <\/p>\n

194
\n00:12:13,200 –> 00:12:16,480
\nlovest, and go thee into the
\nland of Moriah, and offer him <\/p>\n

195
\n00:12:16,480 –> 00:12:19,800
\nthere for a burnt offering unto
\none of the mountains, which I <\/p>\n

196
\n00:12:19,800 –> 00:12:22,920
\nwill tell thee of.
\nSo there’s a few little things I<\/p>\n

197
\n00:12:22,920 –> 00:12:27,320
\nwant you just to observe here.
\nFirst of all, let’s just pick <\/p>\n

198
\n00:12:27,320 –> 00:12:32,000
\nout the word offer.
\nYou see that there in verse 2 <\/p>\n

199
\n00:12:32,000 –> 00:12:33,760
\noffer.
\nAnd that’s an important word. <\/p>\n

200
\n00:12:34,000 –> 00:12:36,560
\nIt’s a a frequently used word.
\nIt’s an important word. <\/p>\n

201
\n00:12:36,560 –> 00:12:42,760
\nIt’s the word Ola with an O Ola.
\nAnd it’s the whole idea to <\/p>\n

202
\n00:12:42,760 –> 00:12:47,840
\nascend, to bring up.
\nAnd the emphasis is that it’s a <\/p>\n

203
\n00:12:47,840 –> 00:12:51,440
\nmovement towards God from where
\nyou are. <\/p>\n

204
\n00:12:51,600 –> 00:12:57,240
\nIt’s a movement towards God,
\ntowards heavenly places. <\/p>\n

205
\n00:12:57,640 –> 00:13:00,560
\nAnd the whole idea is
\nunderpinned by the principle of <\/p>\n

206
\n00:13:00,560 –> 00:13:04,480
\nsurrender.
\nSurrender. <\/p>\n

207
\n00:13:06,600 –> 00:13:09,320
\nNow the other word I want you to
\npick out here is the burnt <\/p>\n

208
\n00:13:09,320 –> 00:13:10,640
\noffering.
\nIt’s one Hebrew word there at <\/p>\n

209
\n00:13:10,640 –> 00:13:13,120
\nthe end of verse 2.
\nIt’s related to Ola. <\/p>\n

210
\n00:13:13,120 –> 00:13:16,320
\nSo, so we’ve got a Hebrew here
\nand they’re connected and we <\/p>\n

211
\n00:13:16,320 –> 00:13:20,560
\ndon’t want to make this overly
\nacademic, but it’s, it’s the <\/p>\n

212
\n00:13:20,560 –> 00:13:21,880
\nword.
\nSo we’ve got Allah. <\/p>\n

213
\n00:13:21,880 –> 00:13:24,920
\nSorry, I should have said there
\nfor offer and Ola here for the <\/p>\n

214
\n00:13:24,920 –> 00:13:30,320
\nburnt offering, right?
\nAnd that means to sacrifice <\/p>\n

215
\n00:13:30,320 –> 00:13:33,760
\nholy, to be consumed by fire,
\ntotal devotion. <\/p>\n

216
\n00:13:33,760 –> 00:13:39,440
\nSo sorry, the the first word is
\nOla with an A and it’s to ascend<\/p>\n

217
\n00:13:39,600 –> 00:13:42,520
\nto heavenly places.
\nAnd the other word, the burnt <\/p>\n

218
\n00:13:42,520 –> 00:13:46,000
\noffering is Ola, which means to
\ndevote holy. <\/p>\n

219
\n00:13:46,000 –> 00:13:50,160
\nAnd they’re related.
\nThink about that, to surrender, <\/p>\n

220
\n00:13:50,160 –> 00:13:55,160
\nto go to heavenly places and to
\ndevote yourself entirely to God.<\/p>\n

221
\n00:13:55,160 –> 00:14:00,240
\nSo they’re interrelated.
\nThis whole idea of offering and <\/p>\n

222
\n00:14:00,240 –> 00:14:04,760
\nburnt offering.
\nOK, so with that in mind, then <\/p>\n

223
\n00:14:04,760 –> 00:14:09,560
\npick out these key phrases here.
\nVerse 2, thine only son. <\/p>\n

224
\n00:14:10,080 –> 00:14:14,640
\nSee that?
\nVerse 12 thine only son at the <\/p>\n

225
\n00:14:14,640 –> 00:14:17,960
\nend of verse 16 thine only son.
\nSo this is all about this whole <\/p>\n

226
\n00:14:17,960 –> 00:14:20,200
\nchapter is all about thine only
\nson. <\/p>\n

227
\n00:14:20,320 –> 00:14:22,360
\nIt’s it’s a chapter of father
\nand son, isn’t it? <\/p>\n

228
\n00:14:22,360 –> 00:14:25,800
\nAnd what’s really lovely, if
\nyou’ve not noticed this, that <\/p>\n

229
\n00:14:25,800 –> 00:14:31,640
\nphrase thine only in the Hebrew,
\nit’s picked up in Psalm 22, <\/p>\n

230
\n00:14:31,640 –> 00:14:35,200
\nwhich is a messianic Psalm, a
\nPsalm we know so well, which <\/p>\n

231
\n00:14:35,200 –> 00:14:37,240
\ntalks about the feelings of the
\nLord Jesus Christ and the <\/p>\n

232
\n00:14:37,240 –> 00:14:40,200
\nfeelings of the Father.
\nAnd the phrase is picked up in <\/p>\n

233
\n00:14:40,200 –> 00:14:45,880
\nPsalm 22 and verse 20, and it’s
\ntranslated, my darling, isn’t <\/p>\n

234
\n00:14:45,880 –> 00:14:48,600
\nthat lovely?
\nSo here then, thine only son, in<\/p>\n

235
\n00:14:48,600 –> 00:14:52,880
\nPsalm 22, it is my darling.
\nThis is how God sees thine only <\/p>\n

236
\n00:14:52,880 –> 00:14:53,720
\nSon.
\nCan you see that? <\/p>\n

237
\n00:14:53,720 –> 00:14:56,840
\nCan you see the connection
\nthere, my darling? <\/p>\n

238
\n00:14:57,560 –> 00:15:00,840
\nThis was Abraham’s only son
\nthrough Sarah. <\/p>\n

239
\n00:15:02,480 –> 00:15:07,960
\nThere it is, Psalm 22, my
\ndarling. <\/p>\n

240
\n00:15:10,880 –> 00:15:13,960
\nAnd then also hear some phrases,
\nverse 8. <\/p>\n

241
\n00:15:13,960 –> 00:15:16,640
\nGod will provide.
\nI want you just to notice that <\/p>\n

242
\n00:15:16,960 –> 00:15:21,040
\nGod will provide.
\nAnd where’s God providing? <\/p>\n

243
\n00:15:21,080 –> 00:15:22,560
\nLet’s just put the picture
\ntogether. <\/p>\n

244
\n00:15:22,560 –> 00:15:25,560
\nWhere’s God providing at Moriah
\nbecause he’s ascending about <\/p>\n

245
\n00:15:25,560 –> 00:15:29,600
\nMoriah, and Moriah means chosen
\nof Yahweh. <\/p>\n

246
\n00:15:32,080 –> 00:15:37,840
\nSo God will provide on the mound
\nthat God has chosen and what is <\/p>\n

247
\n00:15:37,840 –> 00:15:40,760
\nhe going to provide there in
\nverse 8A, Lamb. <\/p>\n

248
\n00:15:40,920 –> 00:15:43,560
\nSo you can see all these
\nwonderful messianic connections <\/p>\n

249
\n00:15:43,560 –> 00:15:46,480
\nhere as as a Moses under
\nexpression wrote these words <\/p>\n

250
\n00:15:46,480 –> 00:15:49,760
\n1400 years before the Lord Jesus
\nChrist would walk this earth. <\/p>\n

251
\n00:15:55,680 –> 00:15:58,360
\nBut we’ve not established that
\nit’s a living sacrifice. <\/p>\n

252
\n00:15:59,560 –> 00:16:01,520
\nSo I want you now to go to
\nHebrews Chapter 11. <\/p>\n

253
\n00:16:08,880 –> 00:16:13,040
\nI don’t know whether you’ve ever
\nnoticed this, but what happens <\/p>\n

254
\n00:16:13,040 –> 00:16:19,320
\nin Genesis chapter 22 becomes a
\nblueprint, an example. <\/p>\n

255
\n00:16:20,080 –> 00:16:25,280
\nThe Greek is a parable.
\nSo Hebrews Chapter 11. <\/p>\n

256
\n00:16:25,280 –> 00:16:28,880
\nAnd here in this wonderful
\ncatalog of the faithful of old, <\/p>\n

257
\n00:16:28,880 –> 00:16:33,400
\nlet’s just see what happens here
\nconcerning the Genesis 22 <\/p>\n

258
\n00:16:33,400 –> 00:16:36,160
\naccount.
\nVerse 17. <\/p>\n

259
\n00:16:36,160 –> 00:16:39,560
\nThen by faith, Abraham when he
\nwas tried, offered up Isaac and <\/p>\n

260
\n00:16:39,560 –> 00:16:42,400
\nhe that had received the
\nprophets offered up His only <\/p>\n

261
\n00:16:42,400 –> 00:16:44,280
\nbegotten son.
\nSo you can put there by the side<\/p>\n

262
\n00:16:44,280 –> 00:16:48,080
\nof his only begotten son.
\nGenesis 22, verse 2, verse 12, <\/p>\n

263
\n00:16:48,240 –> 00:16:51,720
\nverse 16, three times it’s
\nmentioned in Genesis chapter 22.<\/p>\n

264
\n00:16:51,800 –> 00:16:54,320
\nIt is his only son.
\nAnd the writer of the Hebrews, <\/p>\n

265
\n00:16:54,320 –> 00:16:58,800
\nhe is picking up that, remember
\nhe’s saying to the reader, this <\/p>\n

266
\n00:16:58,800 –> 00:17:05,640
\nwas God’s only son in figure.
\nAnd then verse 18, of whom it <\/p>\n

267
\n00:17:05,640 –> 00:17:09,480
\nwas said that in Isaac shall thy
\nseed be called. <\/p>\n

268
\n00:17:11,640 –> 00:17:14,920
\nSo here we’re being told that
\nAbraham was told that Isaac <\/p>\n

269
\n00:17:14,920 –> 00:17:18,240
\nwould be the son of promise.
\nTherefore then Isaac had to <\/p>\n

270
\n00:17:18,240 –> 00:17:20,560
\nlive.
\nThat’s the point being made. <\/p>\n

271
\n00:17:20,560 –> 00:17:24,960
\nNow verse 19 is the all together
\nimportant verse here accounting <\/p>\n

272
\n00:17:24,960 –> 00:17:28,280
\nthat God was able to raise him
\nup even from the dead. <\/p>\n

273
\n00:17:28,520 –> 00:17:30,760
\nSo this is Abraham.
\nHe believed in the resurrection.<\/p>\n

274
\n00:17:30,920 –> 00:17:37,200
\nHe believed that his son would
\nlive again from whence also he <\/p>\n

275
\n00:17:37,200 –> 00:17:40,440
\nreceived him.
\nIn figure you may have a another<\/p>\n

276
\n00:17:40,440 –> 00:17:42,440
\ntranslation.
\nIf you look in your margin, you <\/p>\n

277
\n00:17:42,440 –> 00:17:46,920
\nmay have by the word figure a
\nparable. <\/p>\n

278
\n00:17:49,200 –> 00:17:52,160
\nIn other words, after this event
\nin Genesis chapter 22, it <\/p>\n

279
\n00:17:52,160 –> 00:17:56,360
\nbecame, it became an indelible
\nmark in the minds of the the <\/p>\n

280
\n00:17:56,360 –> 00:18:03,080
\npeople of God that they
\nremembered here that Isaac died <\/p>\n

281
\n00:18:04,600 –> 00:18:10,920
\nand he lived.
\nThat he died and he lived <\/p>\n

282
\n00:18:11,160 –> 00:18:20,160
\nbecause as a substitute here in
\nGenesis chapter 22, the blood of<\/p>\n

283
\n00:18:20,160 –> 00:18:23,920
\nthe ram, which was a burnt
\noffering, was given. <\/p>\n

284
\n00:18:26,360 –> 00:18:31,000
\nSo through this blood of another
\nburnt offering, because Isaac <\/p>\n

285
\n00:18:31,000 –> 00:18:38,040
\nwas supposed to be the burnt
\noffering, Isaac was spared and <\/p>\n

286
\n00:18:38,040 –> 00:18:42,480
\nthis became a parable.
\nHe became a living resurrection.<\/p>\n

287
\n00:18:42,480 –> 00:18:47,400
\nHe became brothers and sisters.
\nThe 1st in Scripture, the first <\/p>\n

288
\n00:18:48,120 –> 00:18:53,160
\nliving sacrifice and under
\ninspiration. <\/p>\n

289
\n00:18:53,160 –> 00:18:56,280
\nThis is where I think Paul is
\ntaking our minds to think about <\/p>\n

290
\n00:18:56,280 –> 00:19:01,440
\nthe Father and Son relationship
\nhere in Genesis chapter 22. <\/p>\n

291
\n00:19:01,440 –> 00:19:03,560
\nNow, now, if you think about
\nthat, having made that <\/p>\n

292
\n00:19:03,560 –> 00:19:04,960
\nconnection, what is that
\nconnection? <\/p>\n

293
\n00:19:04,960 –> 00:19:06,400
\nIt’s a wonderful connection,
\nisn’t it? <\/p>\n

294
\n00:19:06,400 –> 00:19:08,240
\nIt’s about the intimacy of a
\nfather and son. <\/p>\n

295
\n00:19:08,760 –> 00:19:11,200
\nI send you the mount that Yahweh
\nhas chosen, which is <\/p>\n

296
\n00:19:11,200 –> 00:19:13,800
\nanticipating the work that the
\nLord Jesus Christ would do at <\/p>\n

297
\n00:19:13,800 –> 00:19:15,440
\nthe very same mount with His
\nFather. <\/p>\n

298
\n00:19:19,080 –> 00:19:21,480
\nBut if you were to stand back
\nand look at that mountain, you <\/p>\n

299
\n00:19:21,480 –> 00:19:24,120
\nwere to reflect and examine what
\ntook place on that day. <\/p>\n

300
\n00:19:24,200 –> 00:19:26,200
\nWhat was it?
\nBrothers and sisters? <\/p>\n

301
\n00:19:30,320 –> 00:19:35,360
\nIt was faith, the faith of
\nAbraham, and it was the <\/p>\n

302
\n00:19:35,360 –> 00:19:41,480
\nsurrender of the Son.
\nAnd I think these two ideas lock<\/p>\n

303
\n00:19:41,480 –> 00:19:44,200
\nin what a living sacrifice is
\nall about. <\/p>\n

304
\n00:19:44,200 –> 00:19:48,760
\nI want you to think about that.
\nIt is about faith and <\/p>\n

305
\n00:19:48,760 –> 00:19:53,480
\nsurrendering your life.
\nNow there’s two illustrations <\/p>\n

306
\n00:19:53,480 –> 00:19:55,480
\nthat bring this to to life for
\nus. <\/p>\n

307
\n00:19:55,840 –> 00:19:59,480
\nLet’s just quickly go there.
\nLeviticus chapter 14. <\/p>\n

308
\n00:19:59,760 –> 00:20:05,960
\nSo there’s two, there’s two
\nsacrifices or two festivals here<\/p>\n

309
\n00:20:06,440 –> 00:20:11,280
\nunder the law that I believe
\nbring to life what took place on<\/p>\n

310
\n00:20:11,280 –> 00:20:14,120
\nMount Moriah in Genesis chapter
\n22. <\/p>\n

311
\n00:20:15,080 –> 00:20:19,720
\nIt was the blood of the ram.
\nIn Genesis chapter 22 as a burnt<\/p>\n

312
\n00:20:19,720 –> 00:20:22,960
\noffering in the replacement of
\nIsaac. <\/p>\n

313
\n00:20:23,280 –> 00:20:26,320
\nSo you have two sacrifices here
\nin Genesis chapter 22. <\/p>\n

314
\n00:20:26,520 –> 00:20:30,560
\nOne was going to live Isaac, the
\nother one was going to die. <\/p>\n

315
\n00:20:31,080 –> 00:20:38,480
\nThe ram caught in the thickets.
\nLeviticus chapter 14, then <\/p>\n

316
\n00:20:38,520 –> 00:20:43,280
\nagain, and, and we’re just
\ntrying to bring to mind what <\/p>\n

317
\n00:20:43,280 –> 00:20:48,160
\nthat phrase, that loaded phrase,
\na living sacrifice is all about <\/p>\n

318
\n00:20:48,680 –> 00:20:50,240
\nSouth.
\nLeviticus chapter 14 is <\/p>\n

319
\n00:20:50,240 –> 00:20:54,160
\ninteresting because this chapter
\nis all about how a leper was <\/p>\n

320
\n00:20:54,160 –> 00:20:55,480
\ncleansed.
\nAnd you might be thinking why <\/p>\n

321
\n00:20:55,480 –> 00:20:56,960
\nwe’re going here.
\nIt’s going to become very clear <\/p>\n

322
\n00:20:56,960 –> 00:20:59,560
\nin a moment.
\nLet’s just read verses 4 to 6. <\/p>\n

323
\n00:21:01,920 –> 00:21:04,960
\nThen shall the priest command to
\ntake for him that is to be <\/p>\n

324
\n00:21:04,960 –> 00:21:06,400
\ncleansed?
\nSo this is the leper. <\/p>\n

325
\n00:21:06,400 –> 00:21:08,680
\nHe’s he wants to be cleansed and
\nwhat does he have to do? <\/p>\n

326
\n00:21:08,680 –> 00:21:12,040
\nHe has to offer two birds alive.
\nThat word alive there is Shay, <\/p>\n

327
\n00:21:12,200 –> 00:21:15,040
\nwhich means life, vitality,
\nrenewal. <\/p>\n

328
\n00:21:15,160 –> 00:21:19,360
\nThere is no mistake that these
\nbirds are alive and they’re well<\/p>\n

329
\n00:21:19,360 –> 00:21:23,320
\nand they’re healthy.
\nThat’s the point being made, the<\/p>\n

330
\n00:21:23,320 –> 00:21:25,760
\ntwo birds alive and clean, and
\ncedar wood and scarlet and <\/p>\n

331
\n00:21:25,760 –> 00:21:28,560
\nhyssop, and the priest shall
\ncommand that one of the birds be<\/p>\n

332
\n00:21:28,560 –> 00:21:31,480
\nkilled in earthen vessels over
\nrunning water. <\/p>\n

333
\n00:21:31,600 –> 00:21:34,160
\nIf you look at your margin by
\nrunning water, you might have <\/p>\n

334
\n00:21:34,200 –> 00:21:36,360
\nliving water.
\nThat’s a that’s an echo of John <\/p>\n

335
\n00:21:36,360 –> 00:21:39,120
\n4 verse 10, isn’t it?
\nThe woman of Shechem at the <\/p>\n

336
\n00:21:39,120 –> 00:21:45,840
\nwell, living water, it’s
\nrepeated again in verse 6 as to <\/p>\n

337
\n00:21:45,840 –> 00:21:49,320
\nthe living bird, he shall take
\nit and the cedar wood and the <\/p>\n

338
\n00:21:49,320 –> 00:21:51,600
\nscarlet and the hyssop and shall
\ndip them. <\/p>\n

339
\n00:21:51,720 –> 00:21:54,520
\nAnd by the living bird, in the
\nblood of the bird that was <\/p>\n

340
\n00:21:54,520 –> 00:21:56,920
\nkilled over the running water,
\nagain in your margin, living <\/p>\n

341
\n00:21:56,920 –> 00:21:59,200
\nwater.
\nWhat’s the point of all of this?<\/p>\n

342
\n00:21:59,200 –> 00:22:02,640
\nYou have two birds, one alive
\nand the other alive. 1 was going<\/p>\n

343
\n00:22:02,640 –> 00:22:05,040
\nto be killed, the other one was
\ngoing to be set free. <\/p>\n

344
\n00:22:06,880 –> 00:22:11,960
\nBut interestingly, the one that
\nwas to be remain alive was <\/p>\n

345
\n00:22:11,960 –> 00:22:17,400
\ndipped in the blood of the one
\nthat had died, the one that had <\/p>\n

346
\n00:22:17,400 –> 00:22:19,720
\nbeen killed, the one that had
\nbeen sacrificed. <\/p>\n

347
\n00:22:19,720 –> 00:22:24,120
\nIn other words, life was given
\nto the other bird through the <\/p>\n

348
\n00:22:24,120 –> 00:22:28,560
\ndeath of another.
\nCan you see that this was very <\/p>\n

349
\n00:22:28,560 –> 00:22:31,120
\nunusual.
\nThere’s only two sacrifices <\/p>\n

350
\n00:22:31,120 –> 00:22:38,160
\nunder the law that have two
\nanimals, a living and a dead and<\/p>\n

351
\n00:22:38,160 –> 00:22:40,840
\nbrothers and sisters.
\nWhy is Paul then using that <\/p>\n

352
\n00:22:40,840 –> 00:22:44,880
\nexpression, living sacrifice?
\nBecause you, however nice you <\/p>\n

353
\n00:22:44,880 –> 00:22:46,680
\nlook Sunday morning in your
\nbest. <\/p>\n

354
\n00:22:47,760 –> 00:22:49,160
\nWe don’t like thinking about it,
\ndo we? <\/p>\n

355
\n00:22:50,840 –> 00:22:54,920
\nWe were lepers.
\nLepers. <\/p>\n

356
\n00:22:57,560 –> 00:23:01,440
\nThat’s hard, isn’t it?
\nThat’s an inconvenient truth. <\/p>\n

357
\n00:23:03,440 –> 00:23:08,440
\nYou and I had leprosy and we
\nwere out of fellowship with God <\/p>\n

358
\n00:23:11,080 –> 00:23:15,640
\nand through the precious blood
\nof the Lord Jesus Christ, we <\/p>\n

359
\n00:23:15,640 –> 00:23:19,440
\nhave been cleansed, we have been
\npurified, and we have been <\/p>\n

360
\n00:23:19,440 –> 00:23:24,000
\nbrought in fellowship with God,
\nHis Son and His family. <\/p>\n

361
\n00:23:25,120 –> 00:23:27,560
\nYou and I, brothers and sisters,
\nare sitting here this morning <\/p>\n

362
\n00:23:27,560 –> 00:23:33,440
\nabout to take of the emblems
\nbecause you’ve been cleansed, <\/p>\n

363
\n00:23:33,880 –> 00:23:36,960
\npurified and sanctified.
\nYou were a leper. <\/p>\n

364
\n00:23:37,240 –> 00:23:41,680
\nI was a leper.
\nThe worst of the worst. <\/p>\n

365
\n00:23:45,520 –> 00:23:49,560
\nAnd we’ve been set free and we
\ncan enjoy the freedom and <\/p>\n

366
\n00:23:49,560 –> 00:23:51,680
\nfellowship that God has provided
\nto himself. <\/p>\n

367
\n00:23:51,920 –> 00:23:53,640
\nNow, brothers and sisters, we’ve
\ngot to take that on. <\/p>\n

368
\n00:23:53,640 –> 00:23:54,920
\nWe’ve got to accept that.
\nWe’ve got to. <\/p>\n

369
\n00:23:55,120 –> 00:23:58,360
\nWe’ve got to embrace that idea.
\nNone of us like thinking like <\/p>\n

370
\n00:23:58,360 –> 00:24:03,000
\nthat, do we Eppers?
\nThat’s what Paul is saying. <\/p>\n

371
\n00:24:03,000 –> 00:24:06,320
\nYou are a living sacrifice.
\nRemember, brethren and sisters, <\/p>\n

372
\n00:24:06,520 –> 00:24:11,320
\nyou were a leper, A leper, a
\nleper. <\/p>\n

373
\n00:24:13,880 –> 00:24:16,960
\nI’ll show you the other example.
\nIt’s just two pages on Leviticus<\/p>\n

374
\n00:24:16,960 –> 00:24:18,600
\nchapter 16, the Day of
\nAtonement. <\/p>\n

375
\n00:24:18,600 –> 00:24:25,880
\nLook at this.
\nTwo goats, one alive, 1’s going <\/p>\n

376
\n00:24:25,880 –> 00:24:29,080
\nto die.
\nLook at this verse ten. <\/p>\n

377
\n00:24:29,400 –> 00:24:31,240
\nI’ve got these all highlighted,
\nso it’s easy. <\/p>\n

378
\n00:24:31,400 –> 00:24:33,360
\nThe words jump out for me.
\nVerse 10. <\/p>\n

379
\n00:24:33,360 –> 00:24:38,360
\nCan you see just a few lines
\ndown alive, really emphasizing <\/p>\n

380
\n00:24:38,360 –> 00:24:40,480
\nhere alive.
\nAnd you can you can see again, <\/p>\n

381
\n00:24:40,480 –> 00:24:44,680
\njust a few lines down verse 21,
\nalive, alive goat. <\/p>\n

382
\n00:24:46,080 –> 00:24:50,760
\nAnd the live goat is named and
\nyou see that the end of verse 8 <\/p>\n

383
\n00:24:51,120 –> 00:24:53,800
\nscapegoat.
\nI’ve got all these highlighted. <\/p>\n

384
\n00:24:54,000 –> 00:24:58,600
\nThe end of verse 10, scapegoat
\nat the beginning of verse 26, <\/p>\n

385
\n00:24:59,320 –> 00:25:01,920
\nscapegoat.
\nSo the live goat is called the <\/p>\n

386
\n00:25:01,920 –> 00:25:03,200
\nscapegoat.
\nIt’s named, it’s called a <\/p>\n

387
\n00:25:03,200 –> 00:25:04,680
\nscapegoat.
\nAnd if you look at the first <\/p>\n

388
\n00:25:04,680 –> 00:25:07,800
\ntime the word scapegoat is used
\nin verse 8, you may have a <\/p>\n

389
\n00:25:07,800 –> 00:25:10,560
\nlittle thing in your margin that
\nsays the Greek or the Hebrew. <\/p>\n

390
\n00:25:10,560 –> 00:25:14,760
\nThere is azazel, which means
\nthere dismissal. <\/p>\n

391
\n00:25:16,480 –> 00:25:25,200
\nIt’s the idea of something that
\nis removed entirely and what was<\/p>\n

392
\n00:25:25,240 –> 00:25:29,360
\nremoved entirely by the Skaker.
\nWell, look at verse 21. <\/p>\n

393
\n00:25:31,360 –> 00:25:34,880
\nThe high priest was to confess
\nover him all the iniquities of <\/p>\n

394
\n00:25:34,880 –> 00:25:37,200
\nthe children of Israel and their
\ntransgressions in all their <\/p>\n

395
\n00:25:37,200 –> 00:25:39,840
\nsins, putting them upon the head
\nof the goat. <\/p>\n

396
\n00:25:39,840 –> 00:25:42,520
\nYou can put there the live goat
\nor the Azazel. <\/p>\n

397
\n00:25:44,320 –> 00:25:47,400
\nSo the live goat was going to
\ntake away all the sins and the <\/p>\n

398
\n00:25:47,400 –> 00:25:49,680
\niniquities and the
\ntransgressions of the children <\/p>\n

399
\n00:25:49,680 –> 00:25:52,680
\nof Israel.
\nAll the the sins that have built<\/p>\n

400
\n00:25:52,680 –> 00:25:56,320
\nup that past year was going to
\nbe placed upon this scapegoat. <\/p>\n

401
\n00:25:56,480 –> 00:25:58,840
\nAnd the scapegoat, well, we see
\nwhat’s going to happen there. <\/p>\n

402
\n00:25:59,040 –> 00:26:03,280
\nVerse 22, it’s going to go into
\na wilderness, a land not <\/p>\n

403
\n00:26:03,720 –> 00:26:07,960
\ninhabited.
\nOf course, we can make the <\/p>\n

404
\n00:26:07,960 –> 00:26:10,840
\nconnection, the Lord Jesus
\nChrist upon him, the iniquities <\/p>\n

405
\n00:26:10,880 –> 00:26:14,360
\nof us all were placed Isaiah 53
\nand now sits at the right hand <\/p>\n

406
\n00:26:14,680 –> 00:26:18,600
\nof the Father, a land that is
\nnot inhabited by man. <\/p>\n

407
\n00:26:20,000 –> 00:26:23,240
\nWe can see the wonderful
\nconnections there. <\/p>\n

408
\n00:26:24,000 –> 00:26:27,920
\nBut the point I want to note is
\nverse 15, there’s another goat <\/p>\n

409
\n00:26:28,920 –> 00:26:32,360
\nand the goat there is killed.
\nI’m sure you knew that there <\/p>\n

410
\n00:26:32,360 –> 00:26:34,760
\nwere two goats there on the Day
\nof Atonement. <\/p>\n

411
\n00:26:34,840 –> 00:26:38,240
\nThe Azazel, the scapegoat that
\nwas going to be set free in <\/p>\n

412
\n00:26:38,240 –> 00:26:41,920
\nverse 15, the other one was
\ngoing to be killed. <\/p>\n

413
\n00:26:41,920 –> 00:26:44,400
\nNow, now of course we know that,
\nbut there’s a lovely little <\/p>\n

414
\n00:26:44,400 –> 00:26:52,400
\ndetail here.
\nThere’s huge emphasis that upon <\/p>\n

415
\n00:26:52,400 –> 00:26:56,240
\nthe goat that was going to live
\nall the transgressions and the <\/p>\n

416
\n00:26:56,240 –> 00:26:59,840
\nyou imagine that moment, all the
\ntransgressions and the iniquity <\/p>\n

417
\n00:26:59,840 –> 00:27:02,920
\nof God’s people are placed upon
\nthis scapegoat and off it goes <\/p>\n

418
\n00:27:02,920 –> 00:27:07,480
\ninto the distance as they see
\ntheir transgressions and their <\/p>\n

419
\n00:27:07,480 –> 00:27:11,920
\niniquities all go off, taken,
\nhidden away. <\/p>\n

420
\n00:27:14,360 –> 00:27:17,280
\nVerse 15, What about the other
\ngoat that was killed? <\/p>\n

421
\n00:27:20,520 –> 00:27:25,480
\nWas there any announcement made?
\nThere were any sins uttered? <\/p>\n

422
\n00:27:27,960 –> 00:27:37,760
\nNot a word, you see that the
\ngoat that was killed, not one <\/p>\n

423
\n00:27:38,480 –> 00:27:45,600
\nsingle sin was uttered.
\nThe scapegoat, a loud <\/p>\n

424
\n00:27:45,600 –> 00:27:47,880
\npronouncement of all the
\ntransgressions of God. <\/p>\n

425
\n00:27:48,080 –> 00:27:50,760
\nCan you see the contrast here,
\nbrothers and sisters? <\/p>\n

426
\n00:27:52,080 –> 00:27:55,640
\nAnd isn’t it amazing?
\nAgain, Moses under inspiration, <\/p>\n

427
\n00:27:55,640 –> 00:27:58,880
\nrecording these words.
\nAnd here in Leviticus 16, you’ve<\/p>\n

428
\n00:27:58,880 –> 00:28:01,560
\ngot another wonderful picture of
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n

429
\n00:28:05,240 –> 00:28:11,920
\nHe had no sin, yet He died for
\nyou and for me. <\/p>\n

430
\n00:28:11,920 –> 00:28:13,600
\nCan you see that?
\nIsn’t that amazing? <\/p>\n

431
\n00:28:14,320 –> 00:28:18,000
\nThis this graphic Technicolor of
\nhow the Lord Jesus Christ was <\/p>\n

432
\n00:28:18,000 –> 00:28:24,520
\ngoing to redeem you and me?
\nSo this other then connection <\/p>\n

433
\n00:28:24,520 –> 00:28:27,360
\nwith living sacrifices, all
\nabout how your sins and my sins <\/p>\n

434
\n00:28:27,360 –> 00:28:33,920
\nwere taken away.
\nLiving sacrifice goes back to <\/p>\n

435
\n00:28:33,920 –> 00:28:39,280
\nGenesis 22, the Father and Son.
\nWe are the children of God, <\/p>\n

436
\n00:28:41,200 –> 00:28:45,000
\nfaith and surrender.
\nThat’s a connection. <\/p>\n

437
\n00:28:45,840 –> 00:28:50,800
\nLeviticus 14, whether you like
\nto accept it or not, brothers <\/p>\n

438
\n00:28:50,800 –> 00:28:54,920
\nand sisters, you and I were
\nlepers, lepers in God’s sight. <\/p>\n

439
\n00:28:55,880 –> 00:28:59,080
\nBut we’ve been clanced and
\nbrought into fellowship with God<\/p>\n

440
\n00:28:59,080 –> 00:29:01,560
\nand his Son and one another.
\nWhat a wonderful, what a <\/p>\n

441
\n00:29:01,560 –> 00:29:03,640
\nwonderful rejoicing moment that
\nis. <\/p>\n

442
\n00:29:06,640 –> 00:29:13,760
\nAnd we’ve got to believe it,
\nthat your sins and my sins have <\/p>\n

443
\n00:29:13,760 –> 00:29:17,240
\nbeen taken away.
\nWe shouldn’t, brothers and <\/p>\n

444
\n00:29:17,240 –> 00:29:21,560
\nsisters, be weighed down by the
\nweight of past guilt. <\/p>\n

445
\n00:29:23,280 –> 00:29:28,040
\nWe are free, our sins were
\nforgiven when we entered the <\/p>\n

446
\n00:29:28,040 –> 00:29:33,240
\nwaters of baptism, and we can go
\nto the Lord Jesus Christ in <\/p>\n

447
\n00:29:33,240 –> 00:29:38,360
\nprayer and have any sin that we
\nutter forgiven. <\/p>\n

448
\n00:29:40,120 –> 00:29:42,520
\nSo finally then, brothers and
\nsisters, I just want to take you<\/p>\n

449
\n00:29:42,520 –> 00:29:45,960
\nthrough a little section here.
\nWe’re going to be very brief. <\/p>\n

450
\n00:29:48,400 –> 00:29:50,200
\nI believe that that’s the
\nconnection of a living <\/p>\n

451
\n00:29:50,200 –> 00:29:52,080
\nsacrifice.
\nSo in the final few moments, <\/p>\n

452
\n00:29:52,080 –> 00:29:53,760
\nthey will just be the final few
\nmoments. <\/p>\n

453
\n00:29:54,160 –> 00:29:59,440
\nI want you to see how this is
\nbrought to life in your lives <\/p>\n

454
\n00:29:59,440 –> 00:30:01,000
\nand mine.
\nCome back to Romans chapter 12 <\/p>\n

455
\n00:30:01,000 –> 00:30:03,720
\nand we’re going to just quickly
\ngo through some verses. <\/p>\n

456
\n00:30:03,720 –> 00:30:06,400
\nAnd I want to have this as a
\nlitmus test. <\/p>\n

457
\n00:30:06,400 –> 00:30:08,760
\nLet’s be honest with ourselves.
\nLet’s just see this as like an <\/p>\n

458
\n00:30:08,760 –> 00:30:11,680
\nexamination on ourselves this
\nmorning as we prepare ourselves <\/p>\n

459
\n00:30:11,680 –> 00:30:14,120
\nfor the bread and the wine.
\nAnd, and I don’t mind. <\/p>\n

460
\n00:30:14,120 –> 00:30:15,840
\nYou can tell me after.
\nI don’t mind if you feel <\/p>\n

461
\n00:30:15,840 –> 00:30:17,880
\nuncomfortable because I felt
\nuncomfortable when I was reading<\/p>\n

462
\n00:30:17,880 –> 00:30:23,160
\nthrough these things.
\nWhat kind of living sacrifice <\/p>\n

463
\n00:30:23,160 –> 00:30:25,080
\nare you?
\nBecause here the apostle Paul <\/p>\n

464
\n00:30:25,360 –> 00:30:28,560
\nbrings out two aspects of living
\nsacrifice. <\/p>\n

465
\n00:30:28,560 –> 00:30:31,840
\nYou can you can mark here verse
\n3 to verse 13 is all about how <\/p>\n

466
\n00:30:31,840 –> 00:30:33,080
\nwe love our brothers and
\nsisters. <\/p>\n

467
\n00:30:33,200 –> 00:30:35,880
\nSo the living sacrifice, we’ve
\nmade the connection back to <\/p>\n

468
\n00:30:35,920 –> 00:30:37,800
\nAbraham.
\nThe living sacrifice is all <\/p>\n

469
\n00:30:37,800 –> 00:30:39,360
\nabout how you love your brothers
\nand sisters. <\/p>\n

470
\n00:30:39,560 –> 00:30:42,680
\nAnd then verses 14 to 21, how
\nwe’re good in the world. <\/p>\n

471
\n00:30:42,680 –> 00:30:46,200
\nAnd I’m just going to read some
\nphrases and you can think about <\/p>\n

472
\n00:30:46,640 –> 00:30:49,720
\nhow you’re getting on in life,
\nhow you’re serving the Lord. <\/p>\n

473
\n00:30:50,800 –> 00:30:53,200
\nLet’s just catch these hard
\nhitting phrases together. <\/p>\n

474
\n00:30:53,200 –> 00:30:54,440
\nVerse 3.
\nThen we’re just going to run <\/p>\n

475
\n00:30:54,440 –> 00:30:57,400
\nthrough the words.
\nVerse three, If you’re a living <\/p>\n

476
\n00:30:57,400 –> 00:31:00,680
\nsacrifice, this is what’s seen
\nin loving your brothers and <\/p>\n

477
\n00:31:00,680 –> 00:31:03,240
\nsisters.
\nVerse 3, Not to think of himself<\/p>\n

478
\n00:31:03,240 –> 00:31:05,480
\nmore highly than he ought to
\nthink. <\/p>\n

479
\n00:31:05,920 –> 00:31:11,280
\nOK, that’s one thing.
\nVerse 9, Let love be without <\/p>\n

480
\n00:31:11,280 –> 00:31:14,960
\ndissimulation or brother Phil
\nread hypocrisy. <\/p>\n

481
\n00:31:16,240 –> 00:31:20,440
\nVerse 10 be kindly affectioned.
\n1 To another with brotherly <\/p>\n

482
\n00:31:20,440 –> 00:31:26,440
\nlove, real love, real I felt it
\nthis morning, real love with one<\/p>\n

483
\n00:31:26,440 –> 00:31:30,600
\nanother.
\nVerse 10 in honour, preferring <\/p>\n

484
\n00:31:30,600 –> 00:31:34,240
\none another.
\nVerse 13 distributing to the <\/p>\n

485
\n00:31:34,240 –> 00:31:36,920
\nnecessity of the Saints.
\nSo a living sacrifice is all <\/p>\n

486
\n00:31:36,920 –> 00:31:40,520
\nabout how we treat one another.
\nDo you, brothers and sisters, do<\/p>\n

487
\n00:31:40,520 –> 00:31:43,360
\nyou love in action or do you
\nlove in words? <\/p>\n

488
\n00:31:45,120 –> 00:31:46,160
\nIt needs to be action, doesn’t
\nit? <\/p>\n

489
\n00:31:46,400 –> 00:31:49,320
\nAnd then verses 14 to 21 is all
\nabout how we’re good to the <\/p>\n

490
\n00:31:49,320 –> 00:31:50,720
\nworld.
\nFeel the weight of these words. <\/p>\n

491
\n00:31:50,720 –> 00:31:53,760
\nVerse 14, you think about this.
\nIt’s not just about being a <\/p>\n

492
\n00:31:53,760 –> 00:31:55,440
\nliving sacrifice in the
\necclesia. <\/p>\n

493
\n00:31:55,520 –> 00:31:58,000
\nIt’s every aspect of your life.
\nVerse 14. <\/p>\n

494
\n00:31:58,200 –> 00:32:04,600
\nBless those which persecute you.
\nVerse 17 recompense to no man, <\/p>\n

495
\n00:32:04,600 –> 00:32:07,200
\nevil for evil.
\nVerse 17 provide things honest <\/p>\n

496
\n00:32:07,200 –> 00:32:10,560
\nin the sight of all men.
\nVerse 19 dearly beloved, avenge <\/p>\n

497
\n00:32:10,560 –> 00:32:13,600
\nnot yourselves.
\nIn verse 20 if thine enemy <\/p>\n

498
\n00:32:13,600 –> 00:32:17,280
\nhunger, feed him.
\nIf he thirst, give him drink. <\/p>\n

499
\n00:32:19,480 –> 00:32:22,880
\nSo being a living sacrifice is
\nhow we behave all of the time. <\/p>\n

500
\n00:32:24,320 –> 00:32:27,360
\nAre we different to the world or
\nare we simply blending in? <\/p>\n

501
\n00:32:27,360 –> 00:32:31,560
\nAre we being transformed from
\nwithin or are we conforming to <\/p>\n

502
\n00:32:31,560 –> 00:32:36,280
\nthose without?
\nAnd so as we come to the bread <\/p>\n

503
\n00:32:36,280 –> 00:32:39,640
\nand wine now, brothers and
\nsisters, as we’ve looked at that<\/p>\n

504
\n00:32:40,120 –> 00:32:46,000
\nliving sacrifice and how it’s
\nbrought to life, we have seen as<\/p>\n

505
\n00:32:46,000 –> 00:32:48,400
\nwe reflect upon the work of the
\nLord Jesus Christ, that a living<\/p>\n

506
\n00:32:48,400 –> 00:32:51,760
\nsacrifice is not a, is not a
\nsingle moment of devotion. <\/p>\n

507
\n00:32:52,720 –> 00:32:54,680
\nIt’s not a single moment of
\ndevotion. <\/p>\n

508
\n00:32:55,480 –> 00:33:00,520
\nIt’s a life given in surrender.
\nIt’s about God’s Word working <\/p>\n

509
\n00:33:00,520 –> 00:33:05,640
\nwithin ourselves and and being
\ntransformed into the image of <\/p>\n

510
\n00:33:05,640 –> 00:33:12,600
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ.
\nIt’s not what we do, it’s what <\/p>\n

511
\n00:33:12,600 –> 00:33:16,280
\nwe become.
\nIt’s it’s not how we are on a <\/p>\n

512
\n00:33:16,280 –> 00:33:20,160
\nSunday.
\nIt’s what we’re like every day, <\/p>\n

513
\n00:33:22,840 –> 00:33:26,480
\nbrothers and sisters, as we
\nthink of the example of the Lord<\/p>\n

514
\n00:33:26,480 –> 00:33:30,360
\nJesus Christ.
\nBeing a living sacrifice is all <\/p>\n

515
\n00:33:30,360 –> 00:33:36,640
\nabout what you are like in
\nreality. <\/p>\n

516
\n00:33:37,560 –> 00:33:43,520
\nIt is the real you.
\nSo finally then, I pose this <\/p>\n

517
\n00:33:43,520 –> 00:33:48,560
\nquestion to you as we all try to
\nbe living sacrifices to the best<\/p>\n

518
\n00:33:48,560 –> 00:33:50,560
\nof our abilities.
\nThis is a good time, isn’t it? <\/p>\n

519
\n00:33:50,560 –> 00:33:52,720
\nThis is a good moment now, just
\nnow. <\/p>\n

520
\n00:33:54,200 –> 00:34:03,680
\nSo think about the one thing,
\nthe one thing you know, you <\/p>\n

521
\n00:34:03,680 –> 00:34:07,520
