\nWelcome to good Christophian
\ntalks. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:05,920 –> 00:00:07,120
\nThank you for joining us this
\nweek. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:07,680 –> 00:00:11,040
\nOn this podcast, we select one
\ntalk a week to help us get the <\/p>\n
\n00:00:11,040 –> 00:00:16,000
\nBible in our Daily News feed.
\nEach week we post a talk that we<\/p>\n
\n00:00:16,000 –> 00:00:19,000
\npreviewed from suggestions sent
\nin by listeners from around the <\/p>\n
\n00:00:19,000 –> 00:00:21,560
\nworld.
\nThen we record a short intro <\/p>\n
\n00:00:21,560 –> 00:00:25,040
\nbeforehand as a personalized
\nrecommendation to you on why we <\/p>\n
\n00:00:25,040 –> 00:00:27,600
\nare sharing the talk.
\nAnd now let’s talk. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:27,600 –> 00:00:34,560
\nMore about this week’s talk.
\nHi everyone, this is Jason <\/p>\n
\n00:00:34,560 –> 00:00:36,800
\nHensley.
\nThis week we are going to be <\/p>\n
\n00:00:36,800 –> 00:00:41,400
\nlistening to a talk by brother
\nJamie Brown given at the <\/p>\n
\n00:00:41,400 –> 00:00:43,840
\nBaltimore Ecclesia at the end of
\nJuly. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:44,240 –> 00:00:47,920
\nThis is an exhortation and it
\nwas recommended to us as an <\/p>\n
\n00:00:47,920 –> 00:00:50,040
\nexhortation.
\nIt’s very much focused on the <\/p>\n
\n00:00:50,040 –> 00:00:52,800
\nLord Jesus and that’s one of the
\nthings that I absolutely love <\/p>\n
\n00:00:52,800 –> 00:00:56,160
\nabout it.
\nIt is specifically about the <\/p>\n
\n00:00:56,160 –> 00:00:58,640
\nresurrection.
\nIt’s the resurrection why it <\/p>\n
\n00:00:58,640 –> 00:01:00,480
\nmatters.
\nSome of the thoughts that would <\/p>\n
\n00:01:00,480 –> 00:01:02,480
\nhave been going through the mind
\nof the Lord Jesus. <\/p>\n
\n00:01:02,880 –> 00:01:05,880
\nAnd I love just some of the
\npracticality here, the <\/p>\n
\n00:01:05,880 –> 00:01:10,360
\npracticality of, of recognizing
\nwhat a blessed people we are to <\/p>\n
\n00:01:10,360 –> 00:01:12,680
\nknow and believe in the
\nresurrection. <\/p>\n
\n00:01:13,120 –> 00:01:17,120
\nAnd therefore because of that,
\nwe can wake up with smiles on <\/p>\n
\n00:01:17,120 –> 00:01:20,040
\nour faces.
\nWe can realize that the Lord <\/p>\n
\n00:01:20,080 –> 00:01:22,880
\nJesus has defeated death.
\nHe has defeated the greatest <\/p>\n
\n00:01:22,880 –> 00:01:26,520
\nenemy.
\nSo I hope that you enjoy this <\/p>\n
\n00:01:26,520 –> 00:01:27,840
\nexhortation.
\nI hope that you find it <\/p>\n
\n00:01:27,840 –> 00:01:32,040
\nencouraging, and ultimately, I
\nhope that it helps you to set <\/p>\n
\n00:01:32,040 –> 00:01:36,800
\nyour eyes on the Lord Jesus, the
\none who has conquered and who <\/p>\n
\n00:01:36,800 –> 00:01:42,240
\ngives us the victory.
\nHere’s brother Jamie Brown, An <\/p>\n
\n00:01:42,240 –> 00:01:45,920
\nexhortation on the resurrection
\ngiven at Baltimore. <\/p>\n
\n00:01:46,760 –> 00:01:51,120
\nHow do you normally feel when
\nyou wake up in the morning? <\/p>\n
\n00:01:54,000 –> 00:02:01,800
\nAnything like me wrongy,
\nprobably a child calling and my <\/p>\n
\n00:02:02,240 –> 00:02:05,080
\nodds are it’s a work day and
\nI’ve got to go to work soon. <\/p>\n
\n00:02:05,560 –> 00:02:07,560
\nRush out of the house and go
\nlisten. <\/p>\n
\n00:02:07,560 –> 00:02:18,040
\nYeah, but what about can you
\nthink of a day when you work <\/p>\n
\n00:02:18,040 –> 00:02:20,480
\nyou’re not feeling really
\nrefreshed? <\/p>\n
\n00:02:22,160 –> 00:02:28,720
\nI can few months ago was the
\nfirst day in about 6 months that<\/p>\n
\n00:02:28,720 –> 00:02:32,400
\nwe slept through the night and I
\ntell you what the difference <\/p>\n
\n00:02:32,920 –> 00:02:40,640
\nlike oh, I feel good.
\nThat was nice. <\/p>\n
\n00:02:40,640 –> 00:02:45,520
\nIt felt powerful that morning.
\nAnd what about can you think of <\/p>\n
\n00:02:45,520 –> 00:02:50,840
\na day when you’ve woken up
\nmentally, you know, on it <\/p>\n
\n00:02:50,840 –> 00:02:57,480
\nexcited?
\nI can’t think of an example, but<\/p>\n
\n00:02:57,480 –> 00:03:00,400
\nyou know, like, like, you know,
\nwhen it’s a holiday on a Monday <\/p>\n
\n00:03:00,480 –> 00:03:05,200
\nand you, you wake up, you’re
\nlike, I can stay in bed for a <\/p>\n
\n00:03:05,200 –> 00:03:08,720
\nbit longer and yeah, kids are
\nstill asleep and I’m just going <\/p>\n
\n00:03:08,720 –> 00:03:14,320
\nto enjoy myself.
\nAnd maybe an odd occasion when <\/p>\n
\n00:03:14,320 –> 00:03:15,920
\nyou’re off on an exciting
\njourney. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:15,920 –> 00:03:18,680
\nI think you’d literally almost
\nbound out of bed. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:19,240 –> 00:03:20,720
\nCan’t think of many of them in
\nmy life. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:20,720 –> 00:03:27,000
\nI’m a sleepy person in the
\nmorning but that put these all <\/p>\n
\n00:03:27,000 –> 00:03:34,520
\ntogether and times it by a
\nhundred 1000 feeling good, <\/p>\n
\n00:03:34,680 –> 00:03:42,200
\nfeeling ready, feeling awake.
\nMaybe that’s how Jesus felt this<\/p>\n
\n00:03:42,200 –> 00:03:50,720
\nmorning.
\nWe just read about he had pushed<\/p>\n
\n00:03:50,720 –> 00:04:00,080
\nhis body so far.
\nHe had worked so hard and gets <\/p>\n
\n00:04:00,080 –> 00:04:11,080
\nto wake up this morning.
\nJust imagine strong new body. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:11,080 –> 00:04:19,320
\nI’ve done it.
\nIt’s it’s a new whole new plan <\/p>\n
\n00:04:19,320 –> 00:04:25,240
\nis now enacted no longer how do
\nwe rescue humanity, but how do <\/p>\n
\n00:04:25,240 –> 00:04:27,560
\nwe run with this rescued
\nhumanity. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:31,280 –> 00:04:34,800
\nSo it’s it’s a little bit about
\nthat that I’m going to dwell on <\/p>\n
\n00:04:34,800 –> 00:04:43,240
\nthis morning.
\nWe’ve got to I think that intro <\/p>\n
\n00:04:43,520 –> 00:04:46,240
\nhold all those thoughts.
\nI think let’s step back now and <\/p>\n
\n00:04:46,560 –> 00:04:48,040
\nlook at the big picture for a
\nsecond. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:49,480 –> 00:04:53,120
\nThis resurrection is so
\nimportant. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:54,440 –> 00:04:57,880
\nYou know, you could argue this
\nis like the most important <\/p>\n
\n00:04:57,880 –> 00:05:00,960
\npassage of the Bible.
\nThis and Matthew, Mark Luton, <\/p>\n
\n00:05:00,960 –> 00:05:07,960
\nJohn’s accounts.
\nIf you know, Paul writes in in <\/p>\n
\n00:05:07,960 –> 00:05:14,320
\none Corinthians, just so simply,
\nyou know, if Christ has not been<\/p>\n
\n00:05:14,320 –> 00:05:18,600
\nraised, then your faith is
\nfutile. <\/p>\n
\n00:05:19,360 –> 00:05:24,280
\nYou’re still in your sins.
\nThose who have fallen asleep in <\/p>\n
\n00:05:24,480 –> 00:05:29,320
\nChrist are perished.
\nAnd if in Christ we have hope <\/p>\n
\n00:05:29,480 –> 00:05:35,400
\nnow, only then we are, as the AV
\nputs it, of all men, most <\/p>\n
\n00:05:35,440 –> 00:05:40,440
\nmiserable, you know, if Christ
\nisn’t raised, if this didn’t <\/p>\n
\n00:05:40,440 –> 00:05:47,600
\nhappen, what’s the point?
\nOur religion would be very <\/p>\n
\n00:05:47,600 –> 00:05:54,960
\ndifferent.
\nBut let’s turn with me to 1 <\/p>\n
\n00:05:54,960 –> 00:06:07,300
\nCorinthians 15.
\nBut that’s not the case. <\/p>\n
\n00:06:08,020 –> 00:06:11,740
\nJesus is raised, Jesus is risen
\nis what we just read there in <\/p>\n
\n00:06:11,740 –> 00:06:15,420
\nMatthew 28.
\nAnd I’m just going to read with <\/p>\n
\n00:06:15,420 –> 00:06:20,380
\nyou this the first bit here of 1
\nCorinthians 15 because it’s <\/p>\n
\n00:06:20,380 –> 00:06:24,680
\ngreat.
\nSo 1 Corinthians 15 Now I would <\/p>\n
\n00:06:24,680 –> 00:06:29,040
\nremind you, brothers, of the
\ngood news I preached to you, <\/p>\n
\n00:06:29,040 –> 00:06:33,360
\nwhich you’ve received, and which
\nyou stand and be, which you’re <\/p>\n
\n00:06:33,360 –> 00:06:38,200
\nbeing saved, if you hold fast to
\nthe word I preached to you, <\/p>\n
\n00:06:38,720 –> 00:06:41,280
\nunless you believed in vain.
\nAnd what is the good news? <\/p>\n
\n00:06:41,760 –> 00:06:46,800
\nIt’s that Jesus is risen.
\nFor I delivered to you as of <\/p>\n
\n00:06:46,800 –> 00:06:50,920
\nfirst importance what I also
\nreceived, that Christ died for <\/p>\n
\n00:06:50,920 –> 00:06:54,560
\nour sins in accordance with the
\nScriptures, that He was buried <\/p>\n
\n00:06:54,840 –> 00:06:59,640
\nand that He was raised on the
\nthird day according to in <\/p>\n
\n00:06:59,640 –> 00:07:01,680
\naccordance with the Scriptures.
\nAnd of course, that’s what we <\/p>\n
\n00:07:01,680 –> 00:07:04,000
\njust read, isn’t it, in Matthew
\n27 and 28? <\/p>\n
\n00:07:04,000 –> 00:07:07,240
\nI mean that shunk of verses is
\nso powerful because it goes <\/p>\n
\n00:07:07,240 –> 00:07:11,520
\nthrough all these three phases,
\nHis death, his burial, and His <\/p>\n
\n00:07:11,520 –> 00:07:14,680
\nresurrection.
\nBut continuing here 1 continues <\/p>\n
\n00:07:14,680 –> 00:07:19,360
\n15 verse 5.
\nThen he appeared to Cephas, and <\/p>\n
\n00:07:19,360 –> 00:07:22,600
\nthen to the 12.
\nThen he appeared to more than <\/p>\n
\n00:07:22,600 –> 00:07:26,400
\n500 brothers at one time, most
\nof whom are still alive. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:27,200 –> 00:07:31,320
\nThat would be good, wouldn’t it,
\nto talk to these people, and <\/p>\n
\n00:07:31,320 –> 00:07:36,640
\nsome have fallen asleep.
\nThen he appeared to James, then <\/p>\n
\n00:07:36,640 –> 00:07:41,640
\nto all the apostles, and last of
\nall, as to 1 untimely born, he <\/p>\n
\n00:07:41,640 –> 00:07:47,640
\nappeared also to me.
\nYou know, the fact that Jesus <\/p>\n
\n00:07:47,640 –> 00:07:51,520
\nwas raised from the dead as
\nwitnessed by over 500 people, <\/p>\n
\n00:07:52,000 –> 00:07:54,320
\nmore than enough to satisfy any
\nlegal court. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:57,880 –> 00:08:01,560
\nAnd it’s not just he was
\nwitnessed by his faithful <\/p>\n
\n00:08:01,560 –> 00:08:07,360
\nbelievers who made it all up.
\nThe one that gets me is he was <\/p>\n
\n00:08:07,360 –> 00:08:10,920
\nwitnessed by his religious enemy
\nin Seoul. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:10,960 –> 00:08:14,160
\nThat’s Paul.
\nThat last one there, you know, <\/p>\n
\n00:08:14,560 –> 00:08:20,160
\nhe was doing everything in his
\npower to stop this new religion <\/p>\n
\n00:08:20,160 –> 00:08:23,520
\nfrom founding.
\nHe he probably went to find the <\/p>\n
\n00:08:23,520 –> 00:08:26,400
\nbody of Jesus and see if he
\ncould prove that Jesus didn’t <\/p>\n
\n00:08:26,400 –> 00:08:28,680
\nraise him.
\nAnd here he was running around <\/p>\n
\n00:08:28,680 –> 00:08:31,360
\nand around to persecuting the
\nChristian, sending him Alta <\/p>\n
\n00:08:32,080 –> 00:08:38,240
\nliterally shut up and and Jesus
\nmeets him on the road to <\/p>\n
\n00:08:38,240 –> 00:08:42,080
\nDamascus.
\nYes, in a vision, but he met him<\/p>\n
\n00:08:42,080 –> 00:08:46,360
\nnonetheless.
\nAnd such was the change in Saul <\/p>\n
\n00:08:46,360 –> 00:08:50,440
\nand Paul that he does a complete
\n180 and starts being the most <\/p>\n
\n00:08:50,440 –> 00:08:54,840
\nsuccessful apostle in many ways
\nin going around the whole of the<\/p>\n
\n00:08:54,840 –> 00:08:58,920
\nthen known world convinced that
\nJesus was risen. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:00,040 –> 00:09:02,280
\nWho else witnessed his
\nresurrection? <\/p>\n
\n00:09:02,280 –> 00:09:05,480
\nI love this one.
\nI will go back to Matthew for a <\/p>\n
\n00:09:05,480 –> 00:09:09,560
\nbit.
\nThe soldiers. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:10,400 –> 00:09:14,840
\nI mean, it’s, I just listening
\nto Christopher talk on this and <\/p>\n
\n00:09:15,720 –> 00:09:18,440
\nyou know the guy, the guy goes,
\nwho’s your heroes today? <\/p>\n
\n00:09:18,440 –> 00:09:19,720
\nMy heroes.
\nAnd the Pharisees. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:21,480 –> 00:09:24,800
\nWell, the Pharisees were good
\nenough to post some really <\/p>\n
\n00:09:24,800 –> 00:09:29,520
\nindependent witnesses at the
\ntomb so that we could have this <\/p>\n
\n00:09:29,520 –> 00:09:33,840
\nlovely independent source of
\nhistorical fact that Jesus was <\/p>\n
\n00:09:33,840 –> 00:09:36,560
\nraised from the dead.
\nAnd they did they, they are the <\/p>\n
\n00:09:36,760 –> 00:09:40,440
\nonly ones that were there when
\nthe Angel arrived, when the <\/p>\n
\n00:09:40,440 –> 00:09:43,240
\nAngel unsealed the tomb and
\nrolled it back. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:43,240 –> 00:09:49,000
\nWe get from the other letters
\napostles that, that the, the <\/p>\n
\n00:09:49,000 –> 00:09:50,920
\nwomen weren’t there yet, they
\ncame later. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:51,200 –> 00:09:53,840
\nThat the disciples, you know,
\nPeter and John weren’t there. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:53,840 –> 00:09:56,200
\nThey came later.
\nThe only people that were there <\/p>\n
\n00:09:56,200 –> 00:09:59,080
\nto account this exact phrase
\nwere the soldiers. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:59,080 –> 00:10:02,280
\nAnd what did they see now after
\nthe Sabbath? <\/p>\n
\n00:10:02,280 –> 00:10:07,280
\n28 verse one of Matthew, Towards
\nthe dawn of the first day, Mary <\/p>\n
\n00:10:07,280 –> 00:10:11,080
\nMagdalene and Mary were going to
\nsee the tomb, and behold, there <\/p>\n
\n00:10:11,080 –> 00:10:13,640
\nwas a great earthquake.
\nAnd the soldiers saw the <\/p>\n
\n00:10:13,640 –> 00:10:15,920
\nearthquake, and felt it, and
\nheard it. <\/p>\n
\n00:10:16,440 –> 00:10:21,440
\nFor an Angel of heaven, sorry,
\nAngel of the Lord, descended <\/p>\n
\n00:10:21,440 –> 00:10:26,480
\nfrom heaven, and came, rolled
\nback the stone, and sat on it. <\/p>\n
\n00:10:27,240 –> 00:10:29,880
\nAnd his appearance was like
\nlightning, and his clothing <\/p>\n
\n00:10:29,880 –> 00:10:33,480
\nwhite as snow.
\nNo one else witnessed that, just<\/p>\n
\n00:10:33,480 –> 00:10:36,440
\nthose soldiers.
\nAnd as much as the Pharisees <\/p>\n
\n00:10:36,440 –> 00:10:41,480
\ntried to hush this all up, we,
\nwe got there at the end of 28, <\/p>\n
\n00:10:41,480 –> 00:10:44,360
\nyou know, they, they went to the
\nPharisees and the elders and, <\/p>\n
\n00:10:44,360 –> 00:10:47,400
\nand they said, I have some money
\nand we’ll make sure this doesn’t<\/p>\n
\n00:10:47,400 –> 00:10:50,240
\nget out.
\nBut it got out and everyone in <\/p>\n
\n00:10:50,240 –> 00:10:54,600
\nJerusalem heard the account
\npassed around that an Angel came<\/p>\n
\n00:10:54,600 –> 00:10:58,640
\nfrom heaven, rolled back that
\nstone sat on it. <\/p>\n
\n00:10:58,640 –> 00:11:04,440
\nIt’s incredible, it’s great.
\nJust a wonderful fact that that <\/p>\n
\n00:11:04,440 –> 00:11:08,520
\nwas witnessed.
\nAnd so my point is that Jesus <\/p>\n
\n00:11:08,520 –> 00:11:13,240
\nhas risen and, and such was the
\npower and proof of this, that <\/p>\n
\n00:11:14,440 –> 00:11:17,960
\nthe entire Christian faith
\nstarts and is unstoppable. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:18,280 –> 00:11:21,880
\nNo one could prove otherwise.
\nNo one could turn it around, <\/p>\n
\n00:11:21,880 –> 00:11:23,800
\nstop it.
\nNo matter how much the Jews <\/p>\n
\n00:11:23,800 –> 00:11:26,440
\npersecuted them, Herod
\npersecuted them, the Romans <\/p>\n
\n00:11:26,440 –> 00:11:30,080
\npersecuted them, no one could
\nstop it because of the facts <\/p>\n
\n00:11:31,440 –> 00:11:36,480
\nthat Jesus was risen.
\nIt’s it’s what we believe in. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:38,480 –> 00:11:40,360
\nIt’s what we’re here to remember
\nin many ways. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:41,200 –> 00:11:42,640
\nPerhaps we should talk a bit
\nmore. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:45,040 –> 00:11:50,840
\nAnd so our hope stands because
\nJesus is the tomb is empty and <\/p>\n
\n00:11:50,840 –> 00:11:52,600
\nhe is standing on God’s right
\nhat. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:54,800 –> 00:11:58,040
\nSo that’s how I wanted to start
\ntoday. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:02,480 –> 00:12:08,600
\nI it’s not a segue, it’s very
\nrelevant and it was just <\/p>\n
\n00:12:08,600 –> 00:12:12,360
\nfascinating to me when I
\nsuddenly noticed the the <\/p>\n
\n00:12:12,360 –> 00:12:15,760
\nlanguage there in in one
\nCorinthians 15. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:17,520 –> 00:12:19,800
\nIt we read this a little bit
\nlater in the chapter. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:19,880 –> 00:12:23,720
\nChrist has indeed been raised
\nfrom the dead, the first fruits <\/p>\n
\n00:12:24,080 –> 00:12:27,880
\nof those who have fallen asleep,
\nbut each in turn Christ the <\/p>\n
\n00:12:27,880 –> 00:12:30,520
\nfirst fruits, then when he
\ncomes, those who belong to him. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:30,960 –> 00:12:33,760
\nI just did a little digging into
\nthis idea of first fruits. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:33,760 –> 00:12:36,480
\nSo I’m going to drag you along
\nwith me if you’ll all allow me. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:36,680 –> 00:12:38,880
\nSo I was like, is this first
\nfruits? <\/p>\n
\n00:12:38,880 –> 00:12:40,600
\nIsn’t there a feast of the first
\nfruits? <\/p>\n
\n00:12:40,600 –> 00:12:46,720
\nAnd yeah, there is a feast of
\nthe first fruits. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:46,720 –> 00:12:51,000
\nGuess when the feast of the
\nfirst fruits was that very <\/p>\n
\n00:12:51,000 –> 00:12:53,640
\nmorning.
\nToday, Jesus was raised from the<\/p>\n
\n00:12:53,640 –> 00:12:57,760
\ndead.
\nThere is, there it is. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:58,280 –> 00:13:00,360
\nYou may as well come with me to
\nLeviticus and read this with me.<\/p>\n
\n00:13:00,360 –> 00:13:10,080
\nLeviticus 23, the feasts of the
\nLord. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:12,880 –> 00:13:15,320
\nSo there’s lots of feasts.
\nThe Jewish calendar is great, <\/p>\n
\n00:13:15,400 –> 00:13:18,160
\ngives them loads of holidays,
\nand they all have a point. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:18,160 –> 00:13:22,400
\nThey’re all to remember gods.
\nSo the first one is the Sabbath <\/p>\n
\n00:13:22,400 –> 00:13:26,360
\nthere in verse 3.
\nJust generally on the 7th day is<\/p>\n
\n00:13:26,360 –> 00:13:29,640
\na Sabbath every week and then
\nthe Passover. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:30,360 –> 00:13:33,000
\nI might be right in saying
\nthat’s the first passage of but <\/p>\n
\n00:13:33,080 –> 00:13:35,520
\nthe first Sabbath of the year,
\nbut don’t quote me on that. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:36,880 –> 00:13:42,240
\nThe first big holiday is the
\nPassover and then the feasts of <\/p>\n
\n00:13:42,240 –> 00:13:44,440
\nfirst fruits.
\nSo let’s read about the feasts <\/p>\n
\n00:13:44,480 –> 00:13:47,440
\nof first fruits first nine on a
\nbit. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:47,440 –> 00:13:50,120
\nSo the Lord spoke to Moses,
\nsaying, Speak to the people of <\/p>\n
\n00:13:50,120 –> 00:13:53,080
\nIsrael, and say to them, When
\nyou come into the land that I <\/p>\n
\n00:13:53,080 –> 00:13:56,120
\ngive you and reap its harvest,
\nyou shall bring the sheaf of the<\/p>\n
\n00:13:56,120 –> 00:13:58,040
\nfirst fruits of your harvest to
\nthe priest. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:58,520 –> 00:14:01,800
\nHe will wave the sheaf before
\nthe Lord, so that you may be <\/p>\n
\n00:14:01,800 –> 00:14:04,160
\naccepted.
\nOn the day after the Sabbath, <\/p>\n
\n00:14:04,160 –> 00:14:07,360
\nthe priest shall wave it.
\nAnd on the day when you wave the<\/p>\n
\n00:14:07,360 –> 00:14:10,760
\nsheaf, you shall offer a male
\nlamb a year old without blemish <\/p>\n
\n00:14:10,760 –> 00:14:14,600
\nas a burnt offering to the Lord.
\nAnd the grain offer with its <\/p>\n
\n00:14:15,120 –> 00:14:18,960
\nshall be 2\/10 of an ether of
\nfine flour mixed with oil, a <\/p>\n
\n00:14:18,960 –> 00:14:21,680
\nfood offering to the Lord with a
\npleasing aroma. <\/p>\n
\n00:14:22,000 –> 00:14:25,000
\nAnd the drink offering with it
\nshall be of wine, 1\/4 of him. <\/p>\n
\n00:14:25,760 –> 00:14:29,120
\nAnd you shall eat neither bread
\nnor grain, parched or fresh, <\/p>\n
\n00:14:29,120 –> 00:14:32,840
\nuntil this same day when you
\nbrought the offering to God. <\/p>\n
\n00:14:33,600 –> 00:14:36,480
\nIt’s a statute forever
\nthroughout your generations in <\/p>\n
\n00:14:36,480 –> 00:14:38,240
\nall your dwellings.
\nAnd I’m going to read the next <\/p>\n
\n00:14:38,240 –> 00:14:41,760
\nverse.
\nYou shall count 7-4 weeks from <\/p>\n
\n00:14:41,760 –> 00:14:45,120
\nthe day after the Sabbath, from
\nthe day that you brought the <\/p>\n
\n00:14:45,120 –> 00:14:50,280
\nsheaf of the wave offering, you
\nshould count 50 weeks days to <\/p>\n
\n00:14:50,280 –> 00:14:53,120
\nthe day after the and that’s to
\nthe feast of weeks. <\/p>\n
\n00:14:53,360 –> 00:14:55,600
\nAnd I wanted to read on those
\nnext two verse because it just <\/p>\n
\n00:14:55,920 –> 00:14:58,800
\nsets the dates.
\nActually, you’ve got Passover, <\/p>\n
\n00:15:00,000 –> 00:15:04,640
\nand then the first day after the
\nSabbath, the day you brought the<\/p>\n
\n00:15:04,640 –> 00:15:07,720
\nsheaf of the wave offering
\nhappens next. <\/p>\n
\n00:15:08,000 –> 00:15:14,720
\nAnd then 70 weeks, 70 days, 50
\ndays later comes the day of <\/p>\n
\n00:15:14,720 –> 00:15:17,560
\nPentecost, as we often know of
\nit nowadays. <\/p>\n
\n00:15:18,480 –> 00:15:19,880
\nAnd that’s the feast of weeks
\nhere. <\/p>\n
\n00:15:19,880 –> 00:15:24,720
\nSo that’s the order of these
\nwonderful little holidays. <\/p>\n
\n00:15:25,160 –> 00:15:29,960
\nAnd I love this.
\nThis is a great holiday. <\/p>\n
\n00:15:30,440 –> 00:15:33,640
\nGod’s asking the children of
\nIsrael, I want you to trust me, <\/p>\n
\n00:15:34,360 –> 00:15:36,680
\nand I want you to remember you
\ntrust me every year. <\/p>\n
\n00:15:37,160 –> 00:15:38,360
\nAnd how are you going to trust
\nme? <\/p>\n
\n00:15:38,360 –> 00:15:40,080
\nYou’ve been hungry for a few
\nmonths. <\/p>\n
\n00:15:40,560 –> 00:15:44,280
\nMaybe your barns are getting a
\nbit empty and you’ve got your <\/p>\n
\n00:15:44,280 –> 00:15:47,160
\nfirst harvest.
\nPlease don’t eat it. <\/p>\n
\n00:15:48,160 –> 00:15:54,360
\nPlease bring it to me and show
\nyour faith in me and your love <\/p>\n
\n00:15:54,360 –> 00:15:57,760
\nfor the Levites and bring it to
\nthem and give it to them. <\/p>\n
\n00:15:59,080 –> 00:16:01,520
\nAnd it’s just a beautiful little
\nholiday. <\/p>\n
\n00:16:01,600 –> 00:16:04,280
\nI, you know, with so many of
\nthese Jewish holidays, you <\/p>\n
\n00:16:04,280 –> 00:16:07,120
\nwonder how many of them are
\nactually done through their <\/p>\n
\n00:16:07,120 –> 00:16:08,680
\nhistory.
\nBut I’m confident there was a <\/p>\n
\n00:16:08,680 –> 00:16:10,600
\ntime in the history this was
\ndone. <\/p>\n
\n00:16:12,040 –> 00:16:14,760
\nAnd I think it was a great
\nreminder to them year after year<\/p>\n
\n00:16:14,760 –> 00:16:20,200
\nto first wait and trust in God.
\nAnd if you think I’m making this<\/p>\n
\n00:16:20,200 –> 00:16:22,600
\nup for the, the spiritual kind
\nof emphasis they put on this, <\/p>\n
\n00:16:22,600 –> 00:16:29,640
\ncome with me to Deuteronomy 26.
\nWe get Moses talking about this <\/p>\n
\n00:16:29,640 –> 00:16:34,720
\nfeast and he, he, he tells them
\nto say something when they come <\/p>\n
\n00:16:34,720 –> 00:16:36,800
\nto this feast.
\nAnd we’re going to read it <\/p>\n
\n00:16:36,800 –> 00:16:39,440
\ntogether.
\nDeuteronomy 26, verse 5 to 11 <\/p>\n
\n00:16:41,240 –> 00:16:45,480
\nand you know, the, the first few
\nverses were the the context to <\/p>\n
\n00:16:45,480 –> 00:16:48,160
\nthis.
\nAnd I love that he’s now saying,<\/p>\n
\n00:16:48,160 –> 00:16:50,480
\nyou know, verse 26, verse one,
\nyou’re about to go into the <\/p>\n
\n00:16:50,480 –> 00:16:52,440
\nland.
\nWhen you come into the land that<\/p>\n
\n00:16:52,440 –> 00:16:54,840
\nthe Lord your God is giving you
\nfor inheritance and have taken <\/p>\n
\n00:16:54,840 –> 00:16:57,360
\npossession of it and live in it.
\nYou should take some of the <\/p>\n
\n00:16:57,360 –> 00:17:00,600
\nfirst of all the fruit off the
\nground which you harvest from <\/p>\n
\n00:17:00,600 –> 00:17:03,160
\nyour land that the Lord your God
\nis giving you. <\/p>\n
\n00:17:04,040 –> 00:17:06,440
\nPut it in a basket.
\nGo to the place the Lord your <\/p>\n
\n00:17:06,440 –> 00:17:08,319
\nGod will choose and make his
\nname dwell there. <\/p>\n
\n00:17:08,480 –> 00:17:11,960
\nGo to the priest who’s in office
\nat that time, and say to him, I <\/p>\n
\n00:17:11,960 –> 00:17:16,079
\ndeclare today to the Lord your
\nGod that I’ve come into the land<\/p>\n
\n00:17:16,079 –> 00:17:19,280
\nthat the Lord God swore to our
\nfathers to give us. <\/p>\n
\n00:17:19,599 –> 00:17:22,240
\nThen the priest will take the
\nbasket from your hand and set it<\/p>\n
\n00:17:22,240 –> 00:17:27,119
\ndown before the altar of the
\nLord your God, and you shall <\/p>\n
\n00:17:27,119 –> 00:17:30,080
\nmake response before the Lord
\nyour God. <\/p>\n
\n00:17:30,720 –> 00:17:32,680
\nI found this fascinating.
\nThis, this is something they, <\/p>\n
\n00:17:32,720 –> 00:17:36,000
\nthey needed to say every year.
\nOh, wondering Aramean was my <\/p>\n
\n00:17:36,000 –> 00:17:39,400
\nfather, and he went down into
\nEgypt and sojourned there, few <\/p>\n
\n00:17:39,400 –> 00:17:42,720
\nin number, and there became a
\ngreat nation, mighty and <\/p>\n
\n00:17:42,720 –> 00:17:44,800
\npopulist.
\nAnd the Egyptians treated us <\/p>\n
\n00:17:44,800 –> 00:17:48,640
\nharshly and humiliated us and
\nlaid us on us hard labour. <\/p>\n
\n00:17:48,960 –> 00:17:51,760
\nThen we cried to the Lord, the
\nGod of our fathers, and the Lord<\/p>\n
\n00:17:51,760 –> 00:17:54,800
\nheard our voice and saw our
\nreflection, our toil, our <\/p>\n
\n00:17:54,800 –> 00:17:56,440
\noppression.
\nAnd the Lord brought us out of <\/p>\n
\n00:17:56,440 –> 00:18:00,880
\nEgypt with a mighty hand and an
\noutstretched arm, with great <\/p>\n
\n00:18:00,880 –> 00:18:03,640
\ndeeds of terror, with signs and
\nwonders. <\/p>\n
\n00:18:03,960 –> 00:18:07,000
\nAnd he brought us into this
\nplace and gave us this land, a <\/p>\n
\n00:18:07,000 –> 00:18:08,680
\nland flowing with milk and
\nhoney. <\/p>\n
\n00:18:08,880 –> 00:18:12,960
\nAnd now behold, I bring the
\nfirst of the fruit of the ground<\/p>\n
\n00:18:12,960 –> 00:18:16,120
\nwhich you, O Lord, have given
\nme, and you shall set it down <\/p>\n
\n00:18:16,120 –> 00:18:19,840
\nbefore the Lord your God and
\nworship before the Lord your <\/p>\n
\n00:18:19,840 –> 00:18:24,160
\nGod, and you shall rejoice in
\nall the good that the Lord your <\/p>\n
\n00:18:24,160 –> 00:18:28,080
\nGod has given you to your house,
\nyou and the Levite and the <\/p>\n
\n00:18:28,080 –> 00:18:31,360
\nsojourner who’s among you.
\nI thought this, I mean simply, I<\/p>\n
\n00:18:31,360 –> 00:18:34,560
\nthink this is a beautiful thing.
\nThis feast is a beautiful thing,<\/p>\n
\n00:18:35,160 –> 00:18:39,880
\nbut it, it’s very relevant to
\nthe resurrection story, the <\/p>\n
\n00:18:39,880 –> 00:18:43,200
\nresurrection facts, you know, in
\nthe same way that there was a <\/p>\n
\n00:18:43,200 –> 00:18:47,440
\nfirst fruits of the grain that
\nthey had to trust would be the <\/p>\n
\n00:18:47,440 –> 00:18:52,680
\nbeginning of many new wheat ears
\nand and similar things. <\/p>\n
\n00:18:53,000 –> 00:18:56,280
\nThey would bring it and trust
\nthat they didn’t need this now, <\/p>\n
\n00:18:56,680 –> 00:18:59,000
\nbut instead they would go and,
\nand give it. <\/p>\n
\n00:18:59,000 –> 00:19:03,720
\nAnd also the words that they,
\nthey would say, you know, set it<\/p>\n
\n00:19:03,720 –> 00:19:07,000
\ndown before the Lord your God
\nand worship before the Lord your<\/p>\n
\n00:19:07,000 –> 00:19:10,360
\nGod and you shall rejoice in all
\nthe good the Lord your God has <\/p>\n
\n00:19:10,360 –> 00:19:13,520
\ngiven you at you and your house.
\nYou know, this was a wonderful, <\/p>\n
\n00:19:13,520 –> 00:19:16,000
\nenthusiastic thing.
\nIf you can trust that God is <\/p>\n
\n00:19:16,000 –> 00:19:19,640
\ngoing to follow up and repeat
\nthis gift. <\/p>\n
\n00:19:20,600 –> 00:19:23,800
\nAnd in the same way, Jesus was
\nthe first fruits of the <\/p>\n
\n00:19:23,800 –> 00:19:25,800
\nresurrection.
\nAnd why? <\/p>\n
\n00:19:25,800 –> 00:19:28,040
\nWhy I sometimes I ask myself,
\nwhy? <\/p>\n
\n00:19:28,520 –> 00:19:31,200
\nWhy did Jesus have to go away
\nfor 2000 years? <\/p>\n
\n00:19:31,760 –> 00:19:33,200
\nWhy did he have to do it this
\nway? <\/p>\n
\n00:19:33,200 –> 00:19:36,360
\nWhy did we have to wait and
\ntrust? <\/p>\n
\n00:19:37,280 –> 00:19:41,800
\nWell, that’s going to inspire
\nfaith far more than any just <\/p>\n
\n00:19:41,800 –> 00:19:45,040
\ncasual receiving of a gift to
\nhave to trust in it. <\/p>\n
\n00:19:45,040 –> 00:19:48,280
\nA whole of humanity having to
\ntrust for the last 2000 years. <\/p>\n
\n00:19:48,280 –> 00:19:52,960
\nAnyone that wants to hear that,
\nthat’s the first fruits and <\/p>\n
\n00:19:52,960 –> 00:19:56,560
\nwe’re ready to wait for the full
\nharvest and we’re ready to <\/p>\n
\n00:19:56,560 –> 00:19:59,200
\nrejoice and worship before your
\nGod. <\/p>\n
\n00:19:59,200 –> 00:20:01,800
\nRejoice in all the good that
\nyour Lord of God has given to <\/p>\n
\n00:20:01,800 –> 00:20:03,320
\nyou.
\nAnd it started with Jesus. <\/p>\n
\n00:20:04,240 –> 00:20:08,840
\nAnd what struck me to close this
\nidea is how similar this feast <\/p>\n
\n00:20:08,840 –> 00:20:13,120
\nis to what we do here today.
\nYou know, we do a very similar <\/p>\n
\n00:20:13,120 –> 00:20:14,520
\nthing.
\nWe come here to worship. <\/p>\n
\n00:20:14,960 –> 00:20:19,200
\nWe come here to remember to
\nrejoice that we have harvest. <\/p>\n
\n00:20:19,920 –> 00:20:23,280
\nThis is our first fruits here.
\nAnd we remember these first <\/p>\n
\n00:20:23,280 –> 00:20:27,560
\nfruits as we wait for the full
\nharvest and trust in God. <\/p>\n
\n00:20:30,680 –> 00:20:32,880
\nAnd I didn’t really have much to
\nsay about the second reading, <\/p>\n
\n00:20:32,880 –> 00:20:37,000
\nbut this I do.
\nI just couldn’t not say these <\/p>\n
\n00:20:37,000 –> 00:20:40,280
\nwords.
\nJeremiah 17, this incredible <\/p>\n
\n00:20:40,280 –> 00:20:43,720
\nverse hidden in the middle of
\nthis book verses blessed is the <\/p>\n
\n00:20:43,720 –> 00:20:47,760
\nman who trusts in the Lord,
\nwhose trust is in the Lord. <\/p>\n
\n00:20:48,120 –> 00:20:51,080
\nHe’s like a tree planted by
\nwater that sends out its roots <\/p>\n
\n00:20:51,080 –> 00:20:55,520
\nby the stream and does not fear
\nwhen heat comes, for his leaves <\/p>\n
\n00:20:55,520 –> 00:20:59,200
\nremain green, and is not anxious
\nin the euro drought, for it does<\/p>\n
\n00:20:59,200 –> 00:21:03,200
\nnot cease to bear fruit.
\nYou know, this is the behaviour <\/p>\n
\n00:21:03,200 –> 00:21:05,840
\nGod wanted from his people.
\nHe was trying to inspire this <\/p>\n
\n00:21:05,840 –> 00:21:11,000
\nbehaviour with all his feasts.
\nHe tried to set in law a way to <\/p>\n
\n00:21:11,000 –> 00:21:14,880
\nbe faithful and ultimately
\nfailed from nearly all of them. <\/p>\n
\n00:21:15,720 –> 00:21:18,960
\nBut you know, we are here to try
\nand live these words and to <\/p>\n
\n00:21:18,960 –> 00:21:25,200
\ntrust in the Lord.
\nIt’s just, you know, the <\/p>\n
\n00:21:25,200 –> 00:21:26,600
\nundercurrents of our faith,
\nisn’t it? <\/p>\n
\n00:21:26,600 –> 00:21:29,680
\nTo trust, to try and be this
\nfruitful tree. <\/p>\n
\n00:21:30,800 –> 00:21:36,600
\nSo back to the resurrection.
\nChrist is our guarantee. <\/p>\n
\n00:21:37,880 –> 00:21:40,640
\nYou know, as we said, you know,
\nif Christ isn’t risen, then our <\/p>\n
\n00:21:40,640 –> 00:21:45,920
\nwhole face is just in vain.
\nWe hope. <\/p>\n
\n00:21:47,360 –> 00:21:50,840
\nRomans 823 We ourselves, the
\nfirst fruits of the Spirit, grow<\/p>\n
\n00:21:51,000 –> 00:21:55,560
\ninwardly as we wait eagerly for
\nour adoption to sonship, the <\/p>\n
\n00:21:55,560 –> 00:21:58,840
\nredemption of our bodies.
\nYou know, we’re, we are that <\/p>\n
\n00:21:58,840 –> 00:22:03,440
\nthose farmers just I want to eat
\nthis, but I’ll wait. <\/p>\n
\n00:22:03,680 –> 00:22:05,360
\nI’ll wait.
\nI will wait. <\/p>\n
\n00:22:05,360 –> 00:22:07,280
\nGod asked me to wait, so I will
\nwait. <\/p>\n
\n00:22:09,120 –> 00:22:12,640
\nYou know, resurrection.
\nResurrection is a fact and we’re<\/p>\n
\n00:22:12,640 –> 00:22:17,160
\nhere witnessing to that fact
\nthat Christ rose and in the same<\/p>\n
\n00:22:17,160 –> 00:22:24,440
\nway we will rise.
\nSo that’s that all. <\/p>\n
\n00:22:24,440 –> 00:22:27,800
\nSecond, first portion of our
\nclass today. <\/p>\n
\n00:22:27,800 –> 00:22:30,360
\nI’ve got a little bit more to
\nsay. <\/p>\n
\n00:22:33,120 –> 00:22:40,720
\nI wanted to try and dive into if
\nanything we can find out about <\/p>\n
\n00:22:41,040 –> 00:22:44,840
\nChrist, more about Jesus
\nexperience of the resurrection <\/p>\n
\n00:22:45,040 –> 00:22:47,520
\nso that we could try and get
\nready for our experience of the <\/p>\n
\n00:22:47,520 –> 00:22:51,320
\nresurrection.
\nYou know, we’ve just read about,<\/p>\n
\n00:22:51,360 –> 00:22:53,040
\nyou know, how important it is to
\nour faith. <\/p>\n
\n00:22:53,840 –> 00:22:56,680
\nWe just looked at the example of
\nthe first fruits and how that <\/p>\n
\n00:22:56,680 –> 00:22:59,520
\nthat so perfectly mirrors our
\nsituation now. <\/p>\n
\n00:23:00,160 –> 00:23:02,760
\nBut but what about it?
\nWhat can we learn more about <\/p>\n
\n00:23:02,760 –> 00:23:06,160
\nthis resurrection to try and get
\na bit more excited for it and <\/p>\n
\n00:23:06,160 –> 00:23:09,960
\nunderstand a bit more about it?
\nYou know what if you’re in <\/p>\n
\n00:23:09,960 –> 00:23:13,280
\nMatthew still, if you remember
\nwhat we read in Matthew, it was <\/p>\n
\n00:23:13,280 –> 00:23:16,360
\npretty sparse on details,
\nespecially from Jesus point of <\/p>\n
\n00:23:16,360 –> 00:23:19,600
\nview.
\nHe meets his disciples and tells<\/p>\n
\n00:23:19,600 –> 00:23:24,760
\nthem to get ready.
\nBut if you go direct to some <\/p>\n
\n00:23:24,760 –> 00:23:29,400
\nsounds, there’s some insights
\nthere that I find very exciting.<\/p>\n
\n00:23:29,800 –> 00:23:38,160
\nCome with me first at Psalm 22.
\nYou know, I believe we get a <\/p>\n
\n00:23:38,160 –> 00:23:41,040
\nlittle bit of the mind of Jesus
\nin some of these psalms, the <\/p>\n
\n00:23:41,040 –> 00:23:43,680
\nmind of Jesus in this incredible
\nmoment of his life. <\/p>\n
\n00:23:44,480 –> 00:23:47,240
\nI think you’re probably all
\nfamiliar with Psalm 22. <\/p>\n
\n00:23:47,520 –> 00:23:49,520
\nIn fact, it was quoted there in
\nour reading. <\/p>\n
\n00:23:49,560 –> 00:23:52,760
\nJesus quotes it.
\nPsalm 22, verse one. <\/p>\n
\n00:23:52,760 –> 00:23:56,360
\nMy God, I got why have you
\nforsaken me? <\/p>\n
\n00:23:56,360 –> 00:24:00,000
\nWhy are you so far from saving
\nme from the words of my <\/p>\n
\n00:24:00,000 –> 00:24:01,400
\ngroaning?
\nYou know, that’s what Jesus <\/p>\n
\n00:24:01,400 –> 00:24:04,360
\nquotes.
\nAnd you know, we don’t need to <\/p>\n
\n00:24:05,080 –> 00:24:07,360
\nworry that Jesus lost his faith
\nall of a sudden. <\/p>\n
\n00:24:07,360 –> 00:24:10,000
\nThis Psalm fills in all the dots
\nand gaps for us. <\/p>\n
\n00:24:10,400 –> 00:24:13,080
\nThis Psalm is full of
\nconfidence. <\/p>\n
\n00:24:15,080 –> 00:24:18,840
\nYou know, verse 19.
\nBut you, our Lord, don’t be far <\/p>\n
\n00:24:18,840 –> 00:24:20,480
\noff.
\nOh, you. <\/p>\n
\n00:24:20,480 –> 00:24:23,640
\nMy help will come quickly to my
\nend. <\/p>\n
\n00:24:23,960 –> 00:24:26,960
\nDeliver me.
\nDeliver my soul from the sword, <\/p>\n
\n00:24:26,960 –> 00:24:28,920
\nmy precious life from the power
\nof the dock. <\/p>\n
\n00:24:29,280 –> 00:24:31,080
\nSave me from the mouth of the
\nlion. <\/p>\n
\n00:24:31,280 –> 00:24:32,400
\nYou have.
\nYeah. <\/p>\n
\n00:24:32,400 –> 00:24:34,120
\nI’m going to pause there.
\nSave me from the mouth of the <\/p>\n
\n00:24:34,120 –> 00:24:37,480
\nlion.
\nThat’s that’s our Lord’s hope <\/p>\n
\n00:24:37,840 –> 00:24:40,320
\nand confidence, the confidence
\nof a man hoping for something to<\/p>\n
\n00:24:40,320 –> 00:24:44,680
\nchange in the future.
\nBut I tell you it changes there <\/p>\n
\n00:24:44,680 –> 00:24:48,200
\nin the middle of verse 21 and it
\ngoes from being the point of <\/p>\n
\n00:24:48,200 –> 00:24:53,160
\nview of a man on a cross to the
\ntriumphant point of view of <\/p>\n
\n00:24:53,160 –> 00:24:56,280
\nsomebody raised from the dead.
\nThis is my reading of it. <\/p>\n
\n00:24:56,520 –> 00:24:58,840
\nSo we just read there.
\nSave me from the mouth of the <\/p>\n
\n00:24:58,840 –> 00:25:00,880
\nline.
\nYou see the future tense <\/p>\n
\n00:25:00,880 –> 00:25:04,520
\nrequest.
\nWhat do you make of you? <\/p>\n
\n00:25:04,520 –> 00:25:08,840
\nHave past tense rescued me from
\nthe horns of the lion? <\/p>\n
\n00:25:13,080 –> 00:25:16,880
\nCould that not be the mind of
\nour Lord as he wakes up and <\/p>\n
\n00:25:16,880 –> 00:25:20,240
\nrealises he has been saved?
\nWhat about the next bit, verse <\/p>\n
\n00:25:20,240 –> 00:25:23,040
\n22?
\nI will tell of your name to my <\/p>\n
\n00:25:23,040 –> 00:25:25,760
\nbrothers in the midst of the
\ncongregation. <\/p>\n
\n00:25:25,960 –> 00:25:29,840
\nI will praise you.
\nIs that not what Jesus did next?<\/p>\n
\n00:25:30,600 –> 00:25:32,640
\nYou who fear the Lord, praise
\nhim. <\/p>\n
\n00:25:33,640 –> 00:25:36,600
\nDo you not think that’s the
\nwords of Jesus as he talks to <\/p>\n
\n00:25:36,600 –> 00:25:38,640
\nhis brothers?
\nAll your offspring of Jacob <\/p>\n
\n00:25:38,640 –> 00:25:42,360
\nglorify him and stand in awe of
\nHim, all your offspring of <\/p>\n
\n00:25:42,360 –> 00:25:45,680
\nIsrael.
\nBut he has not despised or abort<\/p>\n
\n00:25:46,000 –> 00:25:48,920
\nthe affliction of the afflicted.
\nAnd he’s not hidden his face <\/p>\n
\n00:25:48,920 –> 00:25:52,200
\nfrom him.
\nBut he has heard when he cried <\/p>\n
\n00:25:52,200 –> 00:25:55,320
\nto him.
\nFrom you comes my praise and the<\/p>\n
\n00:25:55,320 –> 00:25:59,200
\ngreat congregation.
\nMy vows I will perform before <\/p>\n
\n00:25:59,200 –> 00:26:02,360
\nthose who fear Him.
\nYou know, it’s it’s and it goes <\/p>\n
\n00:26:02,360 –> 00:26:04,040
\non for time.
\nWe can’t go on. <\/p>\n
\n00:26:04,960 –> 00:26:07,840
\nI think this is the mind of our
\nLord Jesus Christ as he goes <\/p>\n
\n00:26:07,840 –> 00:26:11,160
\nfrom on the cross to
\nresurrected. <\/p>\n
\n00:26:11,160 –> 00:26:14,240
\nIt’s his mind, it’s his next
\nsteps. <\/p>\n
\n00:26:14,240 –> 00:26:18,120
\nIt’s his plans, it’s his hopes
\nas he realises I’m ready. <\/p>\n
\n00:26:18,440 –> 00:26:20,680
\nI’m jumping out of bed.
\nI’m excited for the next <\/p>\n
\n00:26:20,680 –> 00:26:22,440
\njourney.
\nI know what I’m going to do <\/p>\n
\n00:26:22,440 –> 00:26:24,080
\nnext.
\nI’m going to go tell tell of <\/p>\n
\n00:26:24,080 –> 00:26:26,920
\nthis to my brothers in the
\ncongregation. <\/p>\n
\n00:26:26,920 –> 00:26:28,840
\nI’m going to go there in the
\nmiddle of the upper room and <\/p>\n
\n00:26:28,840 –> 00:26:33,040
\ntell I’m going to meet a huge
\nhost of them up in Galilean and <\/p>\n
\n00:26:33,040 –> 00:26:38,000
\ntell them this is our Lord’s
\nmindset and I just love the <\/p>\n
\n00:26:38,000 –> 00:26:40,120
\npositivity.
\nAnd I don’t think it’s just here<\/p>\n
\n00:26:40,120 –> 00:26:42,880
\nin Psalm 22.
\nCome with me to Psalm 16. <\/p>\n
\n00:26:50,320 –> 00:26:54,040
\nI know again, Psalm 16 starts.
\nPreserve me, O God, for in you I<\/p>\n
\n00:26:54,040 –> 00:26:57,080
\ntake refresh.
\nYou know, this is a future tense<\/p>\n
\n00:26:57,080 –> 00:26:59,400
\nrequest.
\nThis is hope for the future. <\/p>\n
\n00:26:59,880 –> 00:27:02,240
\nYou know, I say to the Lord, you
\nare my God. <\/p>\n
\n00:27:02,240 –> 00:27:05,640
\nI have no good apart from you.
\nNow this is perhaps Jesus on the<\/p>\n
\n00:27:05,640 –> 00:27:09,200
\ncross.
\nAnd then right at the end of <\/p>\n
\n00:27:09,200 –> 00:27:13,240
\nthis we get the confidence of
\nJesus on the cross. <\/p>\n
\n00:27:14,480 –> 00:27:17,400
\nVerse 10.
\nYou will not abandon my soul to <\/p>\n
\n00:27:17,400 –> 00:27:20,440
\nshield or let your Holy one see
\ncorruption. <\/p>\n
\n00:27:20,840 –> 00:27:24,240
\nYou know, there’s our Lord Joyce
\nset before him, knowing that he <\/p>\n
\n00:27:24,240 –> 00:27:31,360
\nwill rise again, and he knows
\nyou will not abandon my soul to <\/p>\n
\n00:27:31,360 –> 00:27:33,600
\nshield.
\nAnd then how about verse 11? <\/p>\n
\n00:27:33,600 –> 00:27:38,200
\nYou make known to me the path of
\nlife in your presence. <\/p>\n
\n00:27:38,200 –> 00:27:40,600
\nThere is fullness of joy at your
\nright hand and pleasures <\/p>\n
\n00:27:40,600 –> 00:27:42,800
\nforevermore.
\nYou know, yes, this could be the<\/p>\n
\n00:27:42,800 –> 00:27:46,520
\nthoughts of Jesus on the cross,
\nthe joy set before him, but <\/p>\n
\n00:27:46,520 –> 00:27:49,720
\ncouldn’t it also be what he
\nthinks when he wakes up? <\/p>\n
\n00:27:50,400 –> 00:27:52,600
\nYou make me known to me the path
\nof life. <\/p>\n
\n00:27:52,800 –> 00:27:54,640
\nHe’s there standing on it, the
\npath of life. <\/p>\n
\n00:27:54,640 –> 00:27:58,440
\nHe’s live again in your
\npresence, this fullness of joy. <\/p>\n
\n00:27:58,760 –> 00:28:02,440
\nHe’s about to go to God’s
\npresence at your hand, the <\/p>\n
\n00:28:02,440 –> 00:28:04,600
\npleasures forevermore.
\nI just love the positive <\/p>\n
\n00:28:04,600 –> 00:28:08,000
\nstatement here and whether
\nwhether this is Jesus mind on <\/p>\n
\n00:28:08,000 –> 00:28:12,600
\nthe cross or his mind that
\njoyful morning. <\/p>\n
\n00:28:14,120 –> 00:28:17,480
\nIt’s it’s this is the mind of
\nJesus around this exact time. <\/p>\n
\n00:28:18,400 –> 00:28:22,720
\nAnd you know, this is the mind
\nwe we should try and see. <\/p>\n
\n00:28:22,720 –> 00:28:24,440
\nAnd I’ll come back to our point
\nof view. <\/p>\n
\n00:28:24,440 –> 00:28:27,400
\nBut you know, I think this is
\nfor us to try and see in our <\/p>\n
\n00:28:27,400 –> 00:28:29,640
\nfuture too.
\nAnd then finally, I’m going to <\/p>\n
\n00:28:29,840 –> 00:28:32,840
\nwe’re going to go to one more
\nPsalm, Psalm 40. <\/p>\n
\n00:28:34,760 –> 00:28:41,840
\nI love this Psalm 40 verse one.
\nI waited patiently for the Lord.<\/p>\n
\n00:28:42,720 –> 00:28:44,920
\nHe inclined to me and heard my
\ncry. <\/p>\n
\n00:28:45,520 –> 00:28:49,160
\nHe drew me up from the pit of
\ndestruction out of the miry bar <\/p>\n
\n00:28:49,840 –> 00:28:54,560
\nand set my feet upon a rock,
\nmaking my steps secure. <\/p>\n
\n00:28:54,880 –> 00:28:58,800
\nHe put a new song in my mouth, a
\nsong of praise to our God. <\/p>\n
\n00:28:59,280 –> 00:29:02,320
\nMany will see in fear and put
\ntheir trust in the Lord. <\/p>\n
\n00:29:03,120 –> 00:29:05,400
\nIs that not the mind of Jesus in
\nthe resurrection? <\/p>\n
\n00:29:06,160 –> 00:29:10,520
\nI waited, I waited for you and
\nyou heard me. <\/p>\n
\n00:29:11,760 –> 00:29:15,160
\nYou drew me up out of the pit of
\ndestruction, out of the Maori <\/p>\n
\n00:29:15,160 –> 00:29:19,560
\nbog and set my feet on a rock
\nand my steps secure. <\/p>\n
\n00:29:20,280 –> 00:29:24,240
\nHow secure was our Lord on that
\nmorning knowing He’d achieved <\/p>\n
\n00:29:24,240 –> 00:29:27,600
\nhis goal and He was in a new
\nimmortal body? <\/p>\n
\n00:29:28,320 –> 00:29:30,720
\nAnd however this he put a new
\nsong in my mouth. <\/p>\n
\n00:29:31,360 –> 00:29:33,600
\nI want to know what song Jesus
\nsang that morning. <\/p>\n
\n00:29:36,040 –> 00:29:38,280
\nI actually think we get a bit
\nmore in verse 7 to 9 of this <\/p>\n
\n00:29:38,280 –> 00:29:41,280
\nsong.
\nThis is interesting and you may <\/p>\n
\n00:29:41,280 –> 00:29:43,840
\nhave to bear with me.
\nI’ll just move on in your minds.<\/p>\n
\n00:29:43,840 –> 00:29:48,960
\nBut verse starting verse 6IN
\nsacrifice and offering, you’ve <\/p>\n
\n00:29:48,960 –> 00:29:53,840
\nnot delighted, but you’ve given
\nme an open air burnt offering <\/p>\n
\n00:29:53,840 –> 00:29:55,520
\nand sin offering.
\nYou’ve not required. <\/p>\n
\n00:29:55,920 –> 00:29:59,200
\nThen I said, behold, I’ve come
\nin the scroll of the book. <\/p>\n
\n00:29:59,200 –> 00:30:01,600
\nIt is written of me.
\nI delight to do your will. <\/p>\n
\n00:30:01,600 –> 00:30:04,680
\nOh my God, your law is within my
\nheart. <\/p>\n
\n00:30:05,160 –> 00:30:09,560
\nSo Hebrews picks up on this idea
\nand adds a couple of different <\/p>\n
\n00:30:09,560 –> 00:30:13,520
\nwords and says and she start it
\nstarts the same in sacrifice and<\/p>\n
\n00:30:13,520 –> 00:30:16,160
\nofferings.
\nYou’ve not declited delighted, <\/p>\n
\n00:30:17,240 –> 00:30:19,360
\nbut a body you have prepared for
\nme. <\/p>\n
\n00:30:19,600 –> 00:30:22,120
\nAnd the the writer of the author
\nadds a little commentary and it <\/p>\n
\n00:30:22,240 –> 00:30:28,400
\nand explains that this is
\nJesus’s death and resurrection. <\/p>\n
\n00:30:28,400 –> 00:30:34,800
\nThis is our salvation that he
\ncame and did this and and you <\/p>\n
\n00:30:34,800 –> 00:30:37,240
\nknow, behold, I’ve come in the
\nscroll of the book. <\/p>\n
\n00:30:37,240 –> 00:30:39,640
\nIt has written on me.
\nThis is the whole plan of God <\/p>\n
\n00:30:39,920 –> 00:30:42,480
\nthat he would come and give his
\nbody. <\/p>\n
\n00:30:44,280 –> 00:30:47,080
\nI delight to do your will.
\nOh my God, isn’t that Jesus in <\/p>\n
\n00:30:47,080 –> 00:30:51,920
\nthe garden of blessing me, not
\nmy will, but yours be done and I<\/p>\n
\n00:30:51,920 –> 00:30:55,560
\njust love that verse 9 picks up
\njust just like verse Psalm 22 <\/p>\n
\n00:30:55,560 –> 00:30:57,320
\ndid.
\nSo what’s he going to do next? <\/p>\n
\n00:30:57,320 –> 00:31:00,560
\nWell, I’m going to tell the glad
\nnews of deliverance in the great<\/p>\n
\n00:31:00,560 –> 00:31:02,200
\ncongregation.
\nCongregation. <\/p>\n
\n00:31:02,400 –> 00:31:05,840
\nI’ve not restrained my lips as
\nyou know, O Lord, I’ve not <\/p>\n
\n00:31:05,840 –> 00:31:07,680
\nhidden your deliverance within
\nmy heart. <\/p>\n
\n00:31:07,680 –> 00:31:09,960
\nI’ve spoken your faithfulness
\nand your salvation. <\/p>\n
\n00:31:10,520 –> 00:31:12,560
\nI’ve not concealed your
\nsteadfast love and your <\/p>\n
\n00:31:12,560 –> 00:31:15,040
\nfaithfulness and the great
\ncongregation. <\/p>\n
\n00:31:15,720 –> 00:31:17,800
\nYou know I love that to to our
\nLord Jesus. <\/p>\n
\n00:31:17,800 –> 00:31:22,160
\nYou know, his, he would be
\njoyful, he would sing a new <\/p>\n
\n00:31:22,160 –> 00:31:27,040
\nsong, acknowledge the rock he
\nnow stood upon and go and act <\/p>\n
\n00:31:27,720 –> 00:31:31,400
\nand start his new role.
\nAnd I think that’s that was my <\/p>\n
\n00:31:31,400 –> 00:31:33,600
\ntake away looking at looking at
\nthe resurrection. <\/p>\n
\n00:31:33,600 –> 00:31:36,560
\nYou know, I just wanted to dig a
\nlittle deeper and I think <\/p>\n
\n00:31:36,560 –> 00:31:37,960
\nthere’s a little bit more to be
\nfound. <\/p>\n
\n00:31:37,960 –> 00:31:40,840
\nAnd I just think it’s great that
\nwe get a little insight into our<\/p>\n
\n00:31:40,840 –> 00:31:45,720
\nLord’s mind around these times.
\nSo what about for us? <\/p>\n
\n00:31:46,040 –> 00:31:52,680
\nWell, we’re the he’s the first
\nfruits, but we’re following on. <\/p>\n
\n00:31:53,800 –> 00:31:58,320
\nSometimes we’re in miry clay.
\nIt might indeed we be. <\/p>\n
\n00:31:58,320 –> 00:32:01,200
\nWe fall asleep and sink down
\ninto that miry pit. <\/p>\n
\n00:32:02,040 –> 00:32:08,800
\nBut it won’t end there.
\nThere will be a new day when we <\/p>\n
\n00:32:08,800 –> 00:32:14,520
\nwill be set on a rock that will
\nnot move, that we will be in new<\/p>\n
\n00:32:14,520 –> 00:32:18,840
\nbodies, alert and ready to take
\non a new role, to start planning<\/p>\n
\n00:32:18,840 –> 00:32:23,520
\nnext steps to go and declare to
\nthe whole world what has <\/p>\n
\n00:32:23,520 –> 00:32:27,480
\nhappened.
\nYou know he is the first fruits <\/p>\n
\n00:32:27,480 –> 00:32:31,440
\nand we are them that follow.
\nI, you know, they obviously it <\/p>\n
\n00:32:31,440 –> 00:32:33,960
\nstood up to me, a singer, but
\nhe’ll put a new song in my <\/p>\n
\n00:32:33,960 –> 00:32:36,760
\nmouth, a song of praise to our
\nGod. <\/p>\n
\n00:32:38,880 –> 00:32:42,640
\nHow about you make me know the
\npath of life in your presence? <\/p>\n
\n00:32:42,640 –> 00:32:46,600
\nThat’s fullness of joy.
\nAt your right hand are pleasures<\/p>\n
\n00:32:46,600 –> 00:32:48,920
\nforevermore.
\nWhat a beautiful picture. <\/p>\n
\n00:32:49,640 –> 00:32:51,560
\nThis is the picture of the
\nresurrection. <\/p>\n
\n00:32:54,480 –> 00:32:58,760
\nSo that’s our hope.
\nThat’s our joy set before us. <\/p>\n
\n00:32:59,720 –> 00:33:04,040
\nAnd just to finish, we’ve got to
\ntalk about now. <\/p>\n
\n00:33:04,120 –> 00:33:05,400
\nI don’t.
\nWhat about now? <\/p>\n
\n00:33:05,400 –> 00:33:08,680
\nHere and now?
\nWell, obviously, let’s hold this<\/p>\n
\n00:33:08,680 –> 00:33:11,880
\nhope in silence as we go into a
\nnew week to normal life. <\/p>\n
\n00:33:12,400 –> 00:33:15,760
\nLet’s believe it could be
\ntomorrow, could be next week. <\/p>\n
\n00:33:16,160 –> 00:33:18,200
\nAbsolutely.
\nLet’s believe that and hold that<\/p>\n
\n00:33:18,200 –> 00:33:24,000
\nthat life, but hold that faith.
\nBut also in the New Testament we<\/p>\n
\n00:33:24,000 –> 00:33:27,920
\nget advice like, you know, go
\non, I’ll read it. <\/p>\n
\n00:33:28,280 –> 00:33:32,040
\nRomans 6 was 4.
\nYou know, therefore being buried<\/p>\n
\n00:33:32,040 –> 00:33:37,120
\nwith him in baptism into death
\nin order that just as Christ was<\/p>\n
\n00:33:37,120 –> 00:33:41,120
\nraised from the dead through the
\nglory of the Father, we too may <\/p>\n
\n00:33:41,120 –> 00:33:44,600
\nlive a new life, not not in the
\nfuture, but now. <\/p>\n
\n00:33:44,600 –> 00:33:46,920
\nWe’re going to live a new life
\nnow. <\/p>\n
\n00:33:47,880 –> 00:33:50,600
\nSo my challenge to you all is to
\nwake up tomorrow with a smile <\/p>\n
\n00:33:50,600 –> 00:33:53,760
\nand face.
\nI don’t I’ll succeed. <\/p>\n
\n00:33:54,200 –> 00:33:58,680
\nBut here’s a challenge result.
\nYou know, we’ve got to live this<\/p>\n
\n00:33:58,680 –> 00:34:01,120
\nnew life now.
\nJust think if you can tomorrow <\/p>\n
\n00:34:01,120 –> 00:34:04,840
\nmorning, try and remember at
\nsome point tomorrow that just <\/p>\n
\n00:34:04,840 –> 00:34:07,800
\nlike you had a new morning, just
\nthink of what Jesus’s new <\/p>\n
\n00:34:07,800 –> 00:34:11,400
\nmorning was like and what he
\nthought about when he was raised<\/p>\n
\n00:34:11,400 –> 00:34:16,600
\nfrom the dead.
\nAnd so the what, what stands out<\/p>\n
\n00:34:16,600 –> 00:34:18,719
\nto me now is what we just read
\nin one of those psalms, you <\/p>\n
\n00:34:18,719 –> 00:34:24,679
\nknow, the, the here we go.
\nI’ve got it here again that you <\/p>\n
\n00:34:24,679 –> 00:34:27,280
\nmake me known.
\nYou make known to me the path of<\/p>\n
\n00:34:27,280 –> 00:34:29,960
\nlife.
\nYou know, we often talk about <\/p>\n
\n00:34:29,960 –> 00:34:32,920
\nthe path, the way, the way, the
\ntruth and the life. <\/p>\n
\n00:34:32,920 –> 00:34:35,400
\nAnd it’s kind of about how we
\nlive, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
\n00:34:35,679 –> 00:34:38,679
\nLiving as Jesus lived, walking
\nas Jesus walked. <\/p>\n
\n00:34:39,600 –> 00:34:43,840
\nWhat about that echo there when
\nit, when it talked about set <\/p>\n
\n00:34:43,840 –> 00:34:47,480
\nbeing set on a rock or we want
\nto build our lives on a rock, <\/p>\n
\n00:34:47,480 –> 00:34:49,080
\ndon’t we?
\nAnd listen to the words and <\/p>\n
\n00:34:49,080 –> 00:34:50,320
\nlessons of our Lord Jesus
\nChrist. <\/p>\n
\n00:34:50,320 –> 00:34:56,760
\nSo I think Jesus obviously woke
\nup that morning immune to <\/p>\n
\n00:34:56,760 –> 00:35:00,360
\ntemptation.
\nWe’re told he defeated death and<\/p>\n
\n00:35:00,360 –> 00:35:02,840
\nhe wasn’t tempted anymore.
\nI mean, that’s incredible. <\/p>\n
\n00:35:02,840 –> 00:35:07,960
\nAnd whilst we’re still tempted,
\nwe have to live as best we can. <\/p>\n
\n00:35:07,960 –> 00:35:13,040
\nLike we’re not.
\nThat’s our striving for, to live<\/p>\n
\n00:35:13,040 –> 00:35:17,960
\nthat way of life, to to act as
\naccording to our Lord’s <\/p>\n
\n00:35:17,960 –> 00:35:19,600
\ninstructions.
\nYou know, he who listens to <\/p>\n
\n00:35:19,600 –> 00:35:23,120
\nthese words and does them.
\nWe’re like a man who builds his <\/p>\n
\n00:35:23,120 –> 00:35:28,000
\nhouse on a rock.
\nThat’s our goal now, to follow <\/p>\n
\n00:35:28,000 –> 00:35:31,200
\nthe path of life and build our
\nlives on the rock. <\/p>\n
\n00:35:34,000 –> 00:35:38,440
\nSo, yeah, there’s some thoughts
\non the resurrection and these <\/p>\n
\n00:35:38,440 –> 00:35:41,280
\npowerful chapters.
\nIt’s crucial to our faith. <\/p>\n
\n00:35:42,040 –> 00:35:45,200
\nOur entire religion is based on
\nbelieving these this happened. <\/p>\n
\n00:35:45,200 –> 00:35:48,520
\nAnd when we get it in our hearts
\nand our minds that this really <\/p>\n
\n00:35:48,520 –> 00:35:52,640
\nhappened and is waiting for us,
\nshould make us smile as we take <\/p>\n
\n00:35:52,640 –> 00:35:56,120
\nthis bread and wine and remember
\nwhat Jesus really achieved in <\/p>\n
\n00:35:56,120 –> 00:35:59,400
\nhis death and resurrection.
