>>THIS PRESENTATION IS BROUGHT
TO YOU BY THE FRIENDS OF THE
00:00:02.66\00:00:05.07
AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:00:05.10\00:00:07.60
>>WHO WAS JESUS? WAS HE A LIAR?
00:00:14.68\00:00:17.31
WAS HE A LUNATIC?
OR WAS HE THE LORD?
00:00:17.35\00:00:20.22
>>OUR MESSAGE THIS MORNING
PROBABLY COULD BE CLASSIFIED AS
00:00:24.35\00:00:27.59
IMPORTANT AS ANYTHING I
COULD TALK ABOUT BECAUSE I'M
00:00:27.62\00:00:31.96
REMINDED, AS EVERY NOW AND THEN
I MINGLE WITH THE PEOPLE IN OUR
00:00:31.99\00:00:35.90
CULTURE, THAT A LOT OF FOLKS,
WHILE THEY MAY HEAR THE NAME OF
00:00:35.93\00:00:40.40
JESUS FROM TIME TO TIME, THEY
REALLY HAVE NO IDEA WHO JESUS
00:00:40.44\00:00:45.27
IS. AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE
VALUABLE AND APPROPRIATE TO TALK
00:00:45.31\00:00:50.88
A LITTLE BIT - AND SOMETIMES
WE NEED REMINDING - ABOUT THAT
00:00:50.91\00:00:55.25
SUBJECT: 'WHO IS JESUS?' I
WASN'T SURE HOW TO TITLE THE
00:00:55.28\00:00:59.82
SERMON BECAUSE WHEN YOU SAY 'WHO
IS JESUS' IT SOUNDS LIKE HE'S
00:00:59.85\00:01:03.43
PRESENT TENSE AND SOME PEOPLE
THINK YOU SHOULD TITLE IT 'WHO
00:01:03.46\00:01:07.30
WAS JESUS?' BUT
EITHER WAY YOU WORD IT,
00:01:07.36\00:01:10.97
PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW 'WHO IS HE?
00:01:11.00\00:01:13.30
WHERE DID HE COME FROM?'
SOMEONE WROTE THIS BEAUTIFUL
00:01:13.34\00:01:16.44
PASSAGE ONE TIME WHERE THEY
SAID, 'ALL THE ARMIES THAT HAVE
00:01:16.47\00:01:20.88
EVER MARCHED AND ALL THE NAVIES
THAT HAVE EVER SAILED, ALL THE
00:01:20.91\00:01:23.95
PARLIAMENTS THAT HAVE EVER SAT
AND ALL THE KINGS THAT HAVE EVER
00:01:23.98\00:01:26.35
REIGNED PUT TOGETHER HAVE
NOT AFFECTED LIFE UPON EARTH AS
00:01:26.38\00:01:30.02
POWERFULLY AS THIS ONE SOLITARY
LIFE.' WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE
00:01:30.05\00:01:34.59
WAY THAT JESUS WAS BORN - IN
COMPARATIVE OBSCURITY - AND HE
00:01:34.62\00:01:40.50
NEVER DID ALL THE TYPICAL THINGS
THAT USUALLY DENOTE GREATNESS -
00:01:40.53\00:01:44.03
HE NEVER LED AN ARMY INTO
BATTLE OR HE NEVER LED A NAVY.
00:01:44.07\00:01:47.00
IT DOESN'T TELL US
THAT HE EVER WROTE A BOOK.
00:01:47.04\00:01:50.24
HE DIDN'T DO ANY OF THE THINGS
THAT YOU TYPICALLY THINK OF WITH
00:01:50.27\00:01:53.84
GREATNESS. WE DON'T
KNOW WHAT HE LOOKED LIKE.
00:01:53.88\00:01:56.34
THERE ARE A LOT OF ARTISTS
RENDITIONS OF WHAT JESUS LOOKED
00:01:56.38\00:01:58.98
LIKE BUT THERE'S NOTHING
CONTEMPORARY FROM HIS DAY.
00:01:59.01\00:02:02.42
AND YET, HE
CHANGED ALL OF HISTORY.
00:02:02.45\00:02:05.89
WHILE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
HISTORY - YOU'VE GOT A.D. AND
00:02:05.92\00:02:09.62
B.C. - AND THEY USE NEW TERMS
TODAY, BUT WE USED TO CALL THAT
00:02:09.66\00:02:12.86
BEFORE CHRIST AND AFTER
DEATH OR THE YEAR OF OUR LORD.
00:02:12.89\00:02:16.06
ALL OF HISTORY IS DATED FROM HIS
DEATH SO HOW CAN YOU DOUBT THAT
00:02:16.10\00:02:19.00
HE LIVED? IF YOU
LOOK IN THE ENCYCLOPEDIA
00:02:19.03\00:02:21.37
IT DOESN'T CAST ANY DOUBT
ON WHETHER OR NOT HE LIVED.
00:02:21.40\00:02:24.87
SO WE KNOW HE LIVED. THE
REAL QUESTION YOU'VE GOT TO
00:02:24.91\00:02:27.68
DECIDE: WAS HE A
LIAR? WAS HE A LUNATIC?
00:02:27.71\00:02:32.08
OR WAS HE THE
LORD? WHO WAS JESUS?
00:02:32.11\00:02:35.18
DID GOD COME TO OUR EARTH IN
THE FORM OF A MAN TO SAVE US?
00:02:35.22\00:02:39.05
OH, I WANT TO READ
SOMETHING FIRST BY A.W. TOZIER.
00:02:39.09\00:02:42.29
HE SAID, 'CHRIST IS NOT ONE
OF MANY WAYS TO APPROACH GOD.
00:02:42.32\00:02:46.26
HE'S NOT THE BEST OF SEVERAL
WAYS. HE IS THE ONLY WAY.'
00:02:46.29\00:02:50.53
ANYONE WHO COMES TO GOD
MUST COME THROUGH CHRIST.
00:02:50.57\00:02:53.64
AND WHILE BUDDHA MAY HAVE SAID
A NUMBER OF PROFOUND THINGS AND
00:02:53.67\00:02:57.24
YOU MIGHT HAVE SOME PROFOUND
SAYINGS FROM KRISHNA AND
00:02:57.27\00:03:01.34
MOHAMMAD AND THE DIFFERENT
RELIGIONS OF THE WORLD, NOBODY
00:03:01.38\00:03:05.05
SPOKE LIKE JESUS AND NONE
OF THEM DIED AS A SACRIFICE
00:03:05.08\00:03:09.15
FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD.
THERE'S SOMETHING VERY CLEARLY
00:03:09.18\00:03:12.49
DIFFERENT ABOUT JESUS.
JESUS IS THE ONLY REDEEMER WITH
00:03:12.52\00:03:16.59
GOD. HE'S THE
ONLY MEDIATOR WITH GOD.
00:03:16.62\00:03:19.79
CHRIST IS THE BRIDGE
BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH.
00:03:19.83\00:03:24.27
JESUS SAID TO NATHANAEL,
'HEREAFTER YOU'LL SEE THE ANGELS
00:03:24.30\00:03:27.80
OF GOD ASCENDING AND DESCENDING
ON THE SON OF MAN.' NONE OF THE
00:03:27.84\00:03:31.64
OTHER RELIGIOUS LEADERS OF THE
WORLD SAY, 'I AM THE WAY, THE
00:03:31.67\00:03:34.81
TRUTH, AND THE LIFE' TO GOD.
HE DIDN'T SAY, 'I'M ONE OF THE
00:03:34.84\00:03:37.48
WAYS.' HE SAID, 'I AM
THE WAY.' HE DIDN'T SAY,
00:03:37.51\00:03:41.18
'I'M ONE OF THE TRUTHS.
ALL RIVERS LEAD TO THE OCEAN.
00:03:41.22\00:03:43.85
I'M JUST ONE OF THEM.'
HE SAID, 'I AM THE TRUTH.
00:03:43.89\00:03:46.79
I AM THE LIFE.' SO
WHY DID JESUS COME?
00:03:46.82\00:03:51.09
SO WHERE DO WE LOOK TO
GET THE INFORMATION FOR THIS?
00:03:51.13\00:03:54.73
THERE ARE OVER 300 OLD TESTAMENT
PROPHECIES THAT TALK ABOUT WHAT
00:03:54.76\00:03:59.73
TO EXPECT WHEN
THE MESSIAH COMES.
00:03:59.77\00:04:02.40
WE'RE NOT GOING TO LOOK AT ALL
300 BUT WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT
00:04:02.44\00:04:04.94
SOME BASIC CATEGORIES
TO FIND OUT WHO IS JESUS?
00:04:04.97\00:04:11.45
ESPECIALLY YOU'LL
FIND A LOT IN THE PSALMS.
00:04:11.48\00:04:13.92
OVER 300 OLD TESTAMENT
PROPHECIES REFERENCE THE
00:04:13.95\00:04:16.82
ANOINTED. THE FIRST
PROPHECY YOU'RE GOING
00:04:16.85\00:04:19.02
TO FIND IN THE BIBLE REGARDING
THE MESSIAH COMING IS ACTUALLY
00:04:19.05\00:04:22.29
IN GENESIS 3:15. WE'LL
PUT THAT ON THE SCREEN.
00:04:22.32\00:04:25.09
HERE IS SAYS, WHEN GOD WAS
SPEAKING TO ADAM AND EVE AFTER
00:04:25.13\00:04:29.86
THE FALL, HE SAID, "AND I WILL
PUT ENMITY" - THAT'S SIMILAR TO
00:04:29.90\00:04:34.64
THE WORD 'ENEMY' - IT MEANS
THERE'S ANIMOSITY - THERE'S
00:04:34.67\00:04:36.94
FRICTION - THERE'S AN
ADVERSARIAL RELATIONSHIP -
00:04:36.97\00:04:40.01
"BETWEEN YOU AND THE WOMAN,"
HE WAS TALKING TO THE SERPENT -
00:04:40.04\00:04:43.31
"BETWEEN HER
SEED AND YOUR SEED."
00:04:43.35\00:04:46.41
- THE SEED OF THE WOMAN -
TALKING ABOUT THIS PROMISED SEED
00:04:46.45\00:04:50.49
THAT WAS GOING TO COME THROUGH
HUMANITY - WAS THE MESSIAH -
00:04:50.52\00:04:54.82
"HE" - THE SEED OF THE WOMAN -
"SHALL BRUISE YOUR HEAD," - GOD
00:04:54.86\00:04:58.66
SAYS TO THE SERPENT OR DEVIL
THAT THE SEED OF THE WOMAN,
00:04:58.69\00:05:01.70
CHRIST, WOULD BRUISE YOUR HEAD
- A MORTAL WOUND TO THE HEAD -
00:05:01.73\00:05:04.07
"AND YOU SHALL BRUISE HIS
HEEL." - YOU WILL IMPEDE HIS
00:05:04.10\00:05:06.33
PROGRESS OR SLOW HIS WALK DOWN.
SO THIS FIRST PROPHECY IS FOUND
00:05:06.37\00:05:10.04
RIGHT THERE IN GENESIS CHAPTER
3. THEY WERE LOOKING FOR A
00:05:10.07\00:05:12.57
SAVIOR - THE SEED OF THE
WOMAN THAT WOULD COME THAT WOULD
00:05:12.61\00:05:15.21
DEFEAT THE SERPENT THAT CAUSED
THE FALL OF MAN AND THE LOSS OF
00:05:15.24\00:05:19.08
PARADISE. THROUGH
CHRIST PARADISE IS RESTORED.
00:05:19.11\00:05:23.08
SO LET'S LOOK AT
SOME OF THOSE PROPHECIES.
00:05:23.12\00:05:25.72
FOR ONE THING, IN JOHN 1, VERSE
45, AFTER PHILIP FOUND JESUS HE
00:05:25.75\00:05:32.73
THEN GOES AND HE TELLS
NATHANAEL, "WE HAVE FOUND HIM OF
00:05:32.76\00:05:36.03
WHOM MOSES IN THE LAW, AND ALSO
THE PROPHETS, WROTE - JESUS OF
00:05:36.06\00:05:40.60
NAZARETH, THE SON OF JOSEPH."
HE SAID MOSES AND THE PROPHETS
00:05:40.64\00:05:44.07
AND THE LAW ALL
TALKED ABOUT THIS MAN.
00:05:44.11\00:05:46.98
IT ALL POINTED TO
THIS ONE INDIVIDUAL.
00:05:47.01\00:05:49.28
WHERE DID JESUS COME FROM?
NOW WE ALLUDED TO THAT THERE IN
00:05:49.31\00:05:53.31
JOHN CHAPTER 8 BUT LET'S
LOOK AS SOME OTHER VERSES.
00:05:53.35\00:05:57.12
JOHN 19, VERSE 8 - MATTER OF
FACT, PONTIUS PILATE, DURING THE
00:05:57.15\00:06:00.29
TRIAL OF JESUS, HE
ASKED THAT VERY QUESTION:
00:06:00.32\00:06:03.49
'WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?'
00:06:03.53\00:06:09.30
JESUS SAID, IN JOHN 6, VERSE
38, "FOR I HAVE COME DOWN FROM
00:06:09.33\00:06:13.54
HEAVEN." NOW, IF
I SAID THAT TO YOU,
00:06:13.57\00:06:17.61
YOU'D PROBABLY ASK ME
TO GET SOME COUNSELING.
00:06:17.64\00:06:21.74
SO ARE - THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT
THERE WHO WOULD THINK I SNUCK
00:06:21.78\00:06:24.71
AWAY FROM AREA 51 IN NEVADA -
AS AN ALIEN - BUT JESUS WASN'T
00:06:24.75\00:06:29.85
TALKING ABOUT BEING
AN EXTRA TERRESTRIAL.
00:06:29.88\00:06:32.79
HE WAS SAYING HE CAME FROM THE
FATHER. HE MADE THAT VERY CLEAR.
00:06:32.82\00:06:35.62
WE READ JUST A MOMENT AGO
HE SAID, 'I'M GOING BACK TO THE
00:06:35.66\00:06:37.63
FATHER.' THIS IS A MESSAGE - AND
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE FATHER,
00:06:37.66\00:06:40.63
WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT A GOD
OF A CERTAIN SOLAR SYSTEM OR A
00:06:40.66\00:06:45.43
CERTAIN GALAXY, BIBLICALLY, WHEN
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE FATHER
00:06:45.47\00:06:48.94
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
THE GOD OF EVERYTHING.
00:06:48.97\00:06:52.81
THINK ABOUT THE IMMENSITY OF
SPACE AND HOW BIG GOD MUST BE -
00:06:52.84\00:06:55.84
HOW AWESOME GOD IS. AND
WHEN JESUS SAYS, 'I MADE ALL
00:06:55.88\00:06:59.95
THAT AND I AM THE SON OF
GOD AND I'VE COME FROM GOD.'
00:07:00.05\00:07:03.18
WOW, THAT'S A PRETTY BOLD CLAIM.
THAT'S A PRETTY AMAZING CLAIM
00:07:03.22\00:07:08.46
THAT HE CAME FROM GOD.
AGAIN, JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID,
00:07:08.49\00:07:12.66
"MY KINGDOM IS
NOT OF THIS WORLD."
00:07:12.69\00:07:15.30
HE TOLD PILATE, 'IF MY KINGDOM
WAS OF THIS WORLD THEN WOULD MY
00:07:15.33\00:07:17.40
CITIZENS FIGHT. BUT
MY KINGDOM IS NOT NOW OF
00:07:17.43\00:07:20.04
THIS WORLD.' DID
JESUS CLAIM TO BE GOD?
00:07:20.07\00:07:24.77
DID HE CLAIM DIVINITY? IS
HE JUST ANOTHER MAN OR WAS HE
00:07:24.81\00:07:30.18
THE CO-MINGLING OF
THE DIVINE AND HUMAN?
00:07:30.21\00:07:33.72
JOHN 8, VERSE 58 - "JESUS SAID
TO THEM, 'MOST ASSUREDLY, I SAY
00:07:33.75\00:07:39.09
TO YOU, BEFORE ABRAHAM WAS,
I AM.'" YOU REMEMBER WHEN MOSES
00:07:39.12\00:07:46.23
WAS TALKING TO GOD AT THE
BURNING BUSH AND HE SAID, 'SO
00:07:46.26\00:07:49.10
EXACTLY WHICH GOD ARE
YOU? WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
00:07:49.13\00:07:51.13
WHAT SHALL I SAY TO
THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL?
00:07:51.17\00:07:53.60
WHO ARE YOU THAT ARE SENDING ME?
DO YOU HAVE A BUSINESS CARD?'
00:07:53.64\00:07:58.51
HOW DID GOD
INTRODUCE HIMSELF TO MOSES?
00:07:58.54\00:08:01.28
HE SAID, 'I AM THAT I AM.' IT'S
NOT THAT I ONCE WAS OR WILL BE.
00:08:01.31\00:08:06.58
THE PHRASE 'I AM' MEANS 'I
AM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING.
00:08:06.61\00:08:10.29
I AM THE SELF-EXISTENT
ONE. I AM ETERNAL.' CHRIST WAS
00:08:10.32\00:08:13.96
CLAIMING TO BE
GOD AND TO BE ETERNAL.
00:08:13.99\00:08:17.16
IT SAYS THERE WOULD BE SOMETHING
UNIQUE ABOUT HIS BIRTH.
00:08:17.19\00:08:21.16
NOW EVERYBODY ALIVE WAS BORN AT
SOME POINT BUT JESUS WAS BORN IN
00:08:21.20\00:08:26.10
A VERY UNIQUE WAY AND A PROPHECY
TOLD THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN
00:08:26.13\00:08:29.80
500 YEARS BEFORE THE EVENT.
ISAIAH 7:14, "THE LORD HIMSELF
00:08:29.84\00:08:35.04
WILL GIVE YOU A SING: BEHOLD,
THE VIRGIN SHALL CONCEIVE AND
00:08:35.08\00:08:37.55
BEAR A SON, AND SHALL
CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL."
00:08:37.58\00:08:41.68
NOW THAT DOESN'T
HAPPEN VERY OFTEN, DOES IT?
00:08:41.72\00:08:44.02
WAS JESUS BORN OF A
VIRGIN? DOESN'T IT SAY THAT?
00:08:44.05\00:08:48.96
YOU CAN READ THE NEXT VERSE HERE
IN MATTHEW CHAPTER 1, VERSE 18,
00:08:48.99\00:08:54.36
"NOW THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST
WAS AS FOLLOWS: AFTER HIS MOTHER
00:08:54.36\00:08:58.57
MARY WAS BETROTHED TO JOSEPH,
BEFORE THEY CAME TOGETHER."
00:08:58.60\00:09:03.81
THIS WAS NOT SOME
LABORATORY INSEMINATION.
00:09:03.84\00:09:08.04
IT SAID THAT THE HOLY
SPIRIT WOULD OVERSHADOW HER.
00:09:08.08\00:09:10.95
BEFORE JOSEPH AND MARY CAME
TOGETHER SHE WAS FOUND TO BE
00:09:10.98\00:09:13.11
WITH CHILD OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
AND GOD SAID THAT WOULD HAPPEN.
00:09:13.15\00:09:20.52
THE BIBLE RECORDS
THAT IT DID HAPPEN.
00:09:20.56\00:09:22.86
THE PLACE OF HIS
BIRTH IS IDENTIFIED.
00:09:22.89\00:09:24.99
NOW WE'RE GETTING VERY SPECIFIC
BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO MENTION
00:09:25.03\00:09:27.30
THE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM AND YOU
CAN READ THIS PASSAGE IN MICAH
00:09:27.36\00:09:32.33
CHAPTER 5, VERSE 2, HE
INTERROGATED THE SCRIBES AND HE
00:09:32.37\00:09:37.37
SAID, 'WHERE IS THE MESSIAH
SUPPOSED TO BE BORN? AND THEY
00:09:37.41\00:09:40.44
SAID, 'WE KNOW EXACTLY WHERE
HE SUPPOSED TO BE BORN. HE'S
00:09:40.48\00:09:42.31
SUPPOSED TO BE BORN IN
BETHLEHEM. AND SO THERE WAS
00:09:42.34\00:09:45.08
NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT.
00:09:45.11\00:09:46.92
NOW BETHLEHEM - THERE ARE
ACTUALLY TWO TOWNS IN ISRAEL
00:09:46.95\00:09:49.32
CALLED 'BETHLEHEM'. I
DIDN'T KNOW HOW MANY THERE ARE
00:09:49.35\00:09:52.15
BUT I KNOW THERE ARE SCORES
OF TOWNS IN NORTH AMERICA CALLED
00:09:52.19\00:09:54.59
FARMINGTON. YOU KNOW
WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT?
00:09:54.62\00:09:57.26
THERE'S A LOT OF - SOME TOWNS
THAT HAVE VERY COMMON NAMES YOU
00:09:57.29\00:10:00.86
CAN FIND ALL OVER NORTH
AMERICA. I THINK WE'VE GOT A FEW
00:10:00.90\00:10:04.00
JAMESTOWNS AND YOU'VE GOT A FEW
TOWNS CALLED PARIS - THERE'S A
00:10:04.03\00:10:08.04
PARIS, MAINE AND
THERE'S A PARIS, TEXAS.
00:10:08.07\00:10:10.31
I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'D COME TO
AMERICA AND NAME ANYTHING PARIS
00:10:10.34\00:10:13.71
BUT ANYWAY, THEY DID.
WELL IN THE PROMISED LAND THE
00:10:13.74\00:10:15.84
WORD 'BETHLEHEM' MEANS 'HOUSE OF
BREAD' AND THERE WERE A COUPLE
00:10:15.88\00:10:19.51
OF BETHLEHEMS. BUT YOU
NOTICE IT SPECIFIES THE
00:10:19.55\00:10:21.92
BETHLEHEM WHERE RACHEL DIED
GIVING BIRTH TO BENJAMIN, WHICH
00:10:21.95\00:10:27.16
WAS BETHLEHEM EPHRATHAH,
WHICH IS JUST OUTSIDE JERUSALEM.
00:10:27.19\00:10:30.66
SO THIS PROPHECY IN MICAH
NOT ONLY TELLS WHAT TOWN, IT
00:10:30.69\00:10:34.36
DELINEATES SPECIFICALLY WHICH
BETHLEHEM JESUS WAS GOING TO
00:10:34.40\00:10:38.53
COME FROM. MATTER OF
FACT, IT WAS SO CLEAR
00:10:38.57\00:10:41.70
THAT WHEN KING HEROD SAW THE
WISE MEN COMING HE INTERROGATED
00:10:41.74\00:10:46.44
THE SCRIBES AND SAID, 'WHERE
IS THE MESSIAH SUPPOSED TO BE
00:10:46.47\00:10:49.84
BORN?' AND THEY
SAID, 'WE KNOW EXACTLY
00:10:49.88\00:10:51.31
WHERE HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE BORN.
HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE BORN IN
00:10:51.35\00:10:53.01
BETHLEHEM.' AND SO THERE
WAS NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT.
00:10:53.05\00:10:56.85
NOW THERE'S A VERY
INTERESTING PROPHECY.
00:10:56.89\00:10:59.62
THIS REALLY COULD BE A PROPHECY
THAT ALSO TELLS THE TIME OF HIS
00:10:59.65\00:11:02.56
BIRTH. IN MATTHEW - I'M SORRY,
IN DANIEL CHAPTER 9 - DANIEL 9,
00:11:02.59\00:11:07.73
VERSE 25 - THERE'S A PROPHECY
- IT'S THE 490-YEAR PROPHECY.
00:11:07.76\00:11:12.50
PART OF THAT PROPHECY IS CALLED
THE 483-YEAR SEGMENT AND THAT'S
00:11:12.53\00:11:17.57
WHERE IT SAYS IN VERSE 25, "KNOW
THEREFORE AND UNDERSTAND, THAT
00:11:17.61\00:11:21.91
FROM THE GOING FORTH OF THE
COMMAND TO RESTORE AND BUILD
00:11:21.94\00:11:24.91
JERUSALEM" - WHICH
WAS GIVEN IN 457 B.C.
00:11:24.95\00:11:28.18
BY KING AHASUERUS - "UNTIL
MESSIAH THE PRINCE, THERE SHALL
00:11:28.22\00:11:33.22
BE SEVEN WEEKS
AND SIXTY-TWO WEEKS."
00:11:33.25\00:11:36.49
SO IT'S ACTUALLY THE DECREE
OF ARTAXERXES - I WAS GETTING
00:11:36.52\00:11:39.26
ESTHER MIXED UP WITH NEHEMIAH.
KING ARTAXERXES IN 457 B.C.
00:11:39.29\00:11:43.83
GAVE THAT DECREE. SEVEN
WEEKS, IN JEWISH PROPHECY
00:11:43.87\00:11:48.60
- A DAY EQUALS A YEAR. NOW
YOU'LL SEE A FEW REFERENCES
00:11:48.64\00:11:52.07
FOR THIS - EZEKIEL 4:6, 'I'VE
APPOINTED YOU EACH DAY FOR A
00:11:52.11\00:11:55.24
YEAR.' YOU CAN ALSO READ
THAT PRINCIPLE IN NUMBERS 14:35.
00:11:55.28\00:11:59.31
EVEN THE WORDS OF JESUS, IN A
PARABLE HE TELLS, IN LUKE 13:32
00:11:59.35\00:12:03.52
HE MAKES IT CLEAR THAT IN A
PROPHECY YOU USE THE PRINCIPLE
00:12:03.55\00:12:06.45
OF A DAY FOR A YEAR. SO
WHEN YOU GO AND YOU ADD UP
00:12:06.49\00:12:10.69
THE TIME PERIOD HERE IN DANIEL,
WHERE HE SAYS SEVEN WEEKS AND
00:12:10.73\00:12:15.03
SIXTY-TWO WEEKS - SEVEN
PLUS SIXTY-TWO IS HOW MUCH?
00:12:15.06\00:12:18.73
SIXTY-NINE. SIXTY-NINE - A
WEEK HAS GOT HOW MANY DAYS?
00:12:18.77\00:12:23.64
A WEEK HAS HOW MANY DAYS? I
GAVE YOU AN EASY ONE, COME ON.
00:12:23.67\00:12:27.18
HELP ME. SEVEN DAYS - SO
YOU ADD THAT UP AND YOU'VE GOT
00:12:27.21\00:12:32.11
483 YEARS. 69 WEEKS - 483 DAYS
- A DAY IS A YEAR - 483 YEARS.
00:12:32.15\00:12:39.92
IF YOU COUNT FROM THE START OF
THE DECREE TO REBUILD JERUSALEM
00:12:39.95\00:12:44.49
- 457 B.C. - GIVEN
BY ARTAXERXES - AND THEN
00:12:44.53\00:12:48.33
YOU GO 483 PROPHETIC YEARS -
OR REGULAR YEARS - TO A.D. 27,
00:12:48.36\00:12:54.54
THAT'S EXACTLY
WHEN JESUS WAS BAPTIZED.
00:12:54.57\00:12:58.21
AND YOU CAN READ
ABOUT THAT IN JOHN 1.
00:12:58.24\00:13:00.18
WHEN JESUS CAME TO THE JORDAN
RIVER HE KNEW HIS TIME HAD COME
00:13:00.21\00:13:04.21
AND RIGHT AT HIS 30TH
BIRTHDAY HE WAS BAPTIZED.
00:13:04.25\00:13:08.52
JOHN THE BAPTIST SAID - HE
SAW JESUS COMING - "BEHOLD!
00:13:08.55\00:13:11.65
THE LAMB OF GOD WHO TAKES
AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD!"
00:13:11.69\00:13:15.22
JESUS WAS THAT LAMB THAT
THEY HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR.
00:13:15.26\00:13:18.13
ABRAHAM SAID TO ISAAC
WHEN ISAAC SAID, 'FATHER,
00:13:18.16\00:13:21.33
WE'VE GOT THE
WOOD. WE'VE GOT THE FIRE.
00:13:21.36\00:13:24.17
BUT WHERE IS THE SACRIFICE?'
ABRAHAM SAID, 'MY SON, GOD WILL
00:13:24.20\00:13:27.54
PROVIDE HIMSELF
A LAMB.' FINALLY.
00:13:27.57\00:13:29.97
THEY'RE ALL LOOKING FOR THE
LAMB OF GOD - THE ANOINTED -
00:13:30.01\00:13:31.87
THE MESSIAH. JOHN
SAYS, 'THERE HE IS.
00:13:31.91\00:13:35.08
THIS IS THE LAMB THAT
TAKES AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.
00:13:35.11\00:13:37.01
THIS IS THE SEED OF THE WOMAN.
00:13:37.05\00:13:38.51
THIS IS THE ONE WE'VE BEEN
LOOKING FOR ALL THIS TIME.' AND
00:13:38.55\00:13:41.95
HE IDENTIFIED HIM SEVERAL TIMES
AND THAT'S WHY PHILIP AND PETER
00:13:41.98\00:13:45.02
AND NATHANAEL ALL BEGAN TO
FOLLOW HIM THEN BECAUSE HE HAD
00:13:45.05\00:13:48.22
BEEN FLAGGED BY JOHN THE
BAPTIST AS THE LAMB OF GOD.
00:13:48.26\00:13:52.09
NOW, I TOLD YOU, YOU COULD
ACTUALLY FIGURE FROM DANIEL'S
00:13:52.13\00:13:56.60
PROPHECY, WHEN JESUS WAS BORN.
00:13:56.63\00:13:59.03
BY THE WAY, THERE WERE A COUPLE
THAT WERE LOOKING FOR HIS BIRTH
00:13:59.07\00:14:03.17
- MAYBE BECAUSE OF DANIEL'S
PROPHECY - BECAUSE THEY KNEW
00:14:03.20\00:14:06.47
THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE
483 YEARS FROM THE COMMAND TO
00:14:06.51\00:14:10.01
REBUILD JERUSALEM UNTIL THE
MESSIAH WAS ANOINTED AND BEGAN
00:14:10.05\00:14:13.58
HIS MINISTRY. THEY
COULD UNDERSTAND THAT A
00:14:13.62\00:14:17.12
PRIEST COULD NOT BEGIN
TO TEACH UNTIL HE WAS 30.
00:14:17.15\00:14:20.42
KING DAVID DID NOT BEGIN
TO REIGN UNTIL HE WAS 30.
00:14:20.46\00:14:23.79
JOSEPH WENT OUT TO ADMINISTRATE
OVER EGYPT WHEN HE WAS THIRTY.
00:14:23.83\00:14:28.53
SO ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS
COUNT BACK 30 YEARS FROM A.D.
00:14:28.56\00:14:31.83
27 AND FIND THE BIRTH
OF CHRIST AROUND 4 B.C.
00:14:31.87\00:14:36.57
SO EVEN FROM THAT SAME PROPHECY
YOU COULD HAVE CALCULATED ABOUT
00:14:36.60\00:14:39.41
THE TIME OF HIS BIRTH.
00:14:39.44\00:14:41.18
>> HI FRIENDS,
DON'T GO ANYWHERE.
00:14:41.74\00:14:43.08
IN JUST A MOMENT
WE'LL BE BACK TO COMPLETE
00:14:43.11\00:14:44.81
TODAY'S PRESENTATION.
00:14:44.85\00:14:46.61
HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED
ABOUT THIS ENIGMATIC CHARACTER
00:14:46.65\00:14:49.08
IN THE BIBLE CALLED
MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL?
00:14:49.12\00:14:51.89
WELL, THAT'S THE TITLE OF A BOOK
WE'D LIKE TO SEND YOU FOR FREE.
00:14:51.92\00:14:55.66
MICHAEL SUDDENLY
APPEARS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.
00:14:55.69\00:14:58.33
HE'S WORSHIPPED BY JOSHUA.
00:14:58.36\00:15:00.10
IN ANOTHER PLACE, HE'S
INVOLVED IN THE RESURRECTION.
00:15:00.13\00:15:02.46
THE BIBLE SAYS HE'S CONNECTED
WITH THE SECOND COMING.
00:15:02.50\00:15:05.00
THE LORD HIMSELF
WILL DESCEND FROM HEAVEN
00:15:05.03\00:15:06.87
WITH THE VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL.
00:15:06.90\00:15:09.20
YOU EVEN FIND MICHAEL FIGHTING
WITH THE DEVIL IN REVELATION.

WELL, LET'S GET BACK NOW TO
TODAY'S PRESENTATION AND LEARN
00:15:23.92\00:15:26.22
SOME MORE AMAZING
FACTS FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:15:26.25\00:15:28.56
>> SO THERE'S PROPHECIES THAT
TOLD WHEN HE WOULD BE BORN AND
00:15:30.43\00:15:32.99
WHAT DID IT SAY WOULD
HAPPEN? HE WOULD BE ANOINTED.
00:15:33.03\00:15:36.16
YOU CAN READ THERE IN ACTS
CHAPTER 10, VERSE 38 HOW "GOD
00:15:36.20\00:15:40.60
ANOINTED JESUS OF NAZARETH WITH
THE HOLY SPIRIT AND WITH POWER,
00:15:40.64\00:15:44.27
WHO WENT ABOUT DOING GOOD AND
HEALING ALL WHO WERE OPPRESSED
00:15:44.31\00:15:47.78
BY THE DEVIL, FOR
GOD WAS WITH HIM."
00:15:47.81\00:15:50.21
WHEN JESUS WAS BAPTIZED, THE
HOLY SPIRIT CAME DOWN AND HE WAS
00:15:50.25\00:15:53.08
ANOINTED WITH THE HOLY
SPIRIT. HE WAS THE ANOINTED.
00:15:53.11\00:15:56.35
YOU DON'T HEAR ABOUT THE
MIRACLES OF JESUS UNLESS YOU'RE
00:15:56.38\00:15:58.79
READING SOMETHING APOCRYPHAL.
YOU DON'T READ ABOUT THE
00:15:58.82\00:16:01.26
MIRACLES OF JESUS BEFORE HE
WAS 30. FOR THE FIRST 30 YEARS
00:16:01.29\00:16:04.63
OF HIS LIFE HE LIVED AS A MAN
AMONG MEN, JUST AS YOU AND I DO.
00:16:04.66\00:16:09.93
AND THEN HE WAS ANOINTED AT
HIS BAPTISM. HE BEGAN HIS PUBLIC
00:16:09.96\00:16:13.07
MINISTRY, TURNED THE WORLD
UPSIDE DOWN IN THREE AND A HALF
00:16:13.10\00:16:16.00
YEARS AND THEN THAT WOULD BE
PART OF THAT 490-YEAR PROPHECY.
00:16:16.04\00:16:22.61
AND THEN IT TELLS THE
NATURE OF HIS MINISTRY.
00:16:22.64\00:16:25.61
MATTER OF FACT, JESUS QUOTES
THESE VERY WORDS IN NAZARETH
00:16:25.65\00:16:28.45
WHEN HE BEGAN HIS VERY MINISTRY.
ISAIAH 61, VERSE 1 - CHRIST
00:16:28.48\00:16:32.42
STOOD UP IN THE
SYNAGOGUE OF NAZARETH.
00:16:32.45\00:16:34.22
HIS HOMETOWN CHURCH, IN GALILEE
AND HE SAID, 'THE SPIRIT OF THE
00:16:34.26\00:16:38.29
LORD GOD IS UPON ME; BECAUSE THE
LORD HATH ANOINTED ME" - HE IS
00:16:38.33\00:16:41.93
THE ANOINTED - "TO PREACH GOOD
TIDINGS UNTO THE MEEK.; HE HATH
00:16:41.96\00:16:45.73
SENT ME TO BIND UP THE
BROKENHEARTED, TO PROCLAIM
00:16:45.77\00:16:48.14
LIBERTY TO THE CAPTIVES, AND THE
OPENING OF THE PRISON TO THEM
00:16:48.17\00:16:51.04
THAT ARE BOUND; TO PROCLAIM THE
ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD, AND
00:16:51.07\00:16:54.61
THE DAY OF VENGEANCE OF OUR
GOD; TO COMFORT ALL THAT MOURN."
00:16:54.64\00:16:58.08
FURTHERMORE, IT TELLS US
THAT HE WOULD SPEAK AND TEACH IN
00:16:58.11\00:17:02.12
PARABLES. KING DAVID
SAID, IN PSALM 78, "I
00:17:02.15\00:17:05.79
WILL OPEN MY MOUTH IN A PARABLE;
I WILL UTTER DARK SAYINGS OF
00:17:05.82\00:17:09.49
OLD, WHICH WE HAVE HEARD AND
KNOWN, AND OUR FATHERS HAVE TOLD
00:17:09.52\00:17:12.36
US." REGARDING
CHRIST, IT SAID THAT
00:17:12.39\00:17:14.83
HE SPOKE AND HE
TAUGHT THEM IN PARABLES.
00:17:14.83\00:17:18.17
WITHOUT A PARABLE
HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.
00:17:18.20\00:17:20.10
HE OFTEN TAUGHT IN ALLEGORIES
AND ILLUSTRATIONS AND THOSE THAT
00:17:20.14\00:17:24.07
HEARD HIM TALK SAID, 'NEVER,
EVER DID A MAN SPEAK LIKE THIS
00:17:24.11\00:17:29.01
MAN.' THERE'S NO MAN
THAT COULD TEACH LIKE JESUS.
00:17:29.04\00:17:32.98
PEOPLE WHO WENT TO ARREST HIM
CAME BACK AND SAID, 'WOW, NOBODY
00:17:33.01\00:17:36.42
SPEAKS LIKE THIS MAN.' IT GOES
ON AND IT TELLS US ABOUT HIS
00:17:36.45\00:17:41.66
BETRAYAL. FOR
INSTANCE, PSALM 41, VERSE 9,
00:17:41.69\00:17:46.59
"EVEN MY OWN FAMILIAR FRIEND
IN WHOM I TRUSTED, WHO ATE MY
00:17:46.63\00:17:50.27
BREAD, HAS LIFTED UP
HIS HEEL AGAINST ME."
00:17:50.30\00:17:53.80
DID JESUS EAT A MEAL
WITH BREAD WITH JUDAS?
00:17:53.84\00:17:58.01
AND JUDAS WALKED RIGHT OUT THAT
DOOR AND WENT TO THE PRIESTS AND
00:17:58.04\00:18:00.74
THEN LED THEM TO CHRIST.
00:18:00.78\00:18:02.81
IT GIVES US EVEN MORE DETAIL
ABOUT THE BETRAYAL OF JESUS.
00:18:02.84\00:18:06.41
ZECHARIAH 11, VERSES 12 AND 13,
"THEN I SAID TO THEM, 'IF IT IS
00:18:06.45\00:18:11.72
AGREEABLE TO YOU, GIVE ME MY
WAGES; AND IF NOT, REFRAIN.' SO
00:18:11.75\00:18:15.39
THEY WEIGHED OUT FOR MY
WAGES THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER."
00:18:15.42\00:18:18.59
NOT ONLY TELLS THAT HE WAS
SOLD FOR THE PRICE OF A SLAVE,
00:18:18.63\00:18:21.90
IT TELLS WHAT KIND OF METAL.
IT COULD HAVE BEEN COPPER, IT
00:18:21.93\00:18:24.27
COULD HAVE BEEN GOLD, IT COULD
HAVE BEEN BRONZE OR SILVER.
00:18:24.30\00:18:26.70
IT SAYS IT WAS SILVER.
IT TELLS HOW MANY PIECES OF
00:18:26.74\00:18:29.37
SILVER. "AND THE
LORD SAID TO ME, 'THROW
00:18:29.40\00:18:32.37
IT TO THE POTTER' - THAT
PRINCELY PRICE THEY SET ON ME.
00:18:32.41\00:18:36.21
SO I TOOK THE THIRTY PIECES OF
SILVER AND THREW THEM INTO THE
00:18:36.24\00:18:39.38
HOUSE OF THE
LORD FOR THE POTTER."
00:18:39.41\00:18:41.18
NOW I DON'T HAVE TIME TO READ
IT ALL BUT ALL THE VERSES IN
00:18:41.22\00:18:44.55
MATTHEW 27, VERSES 3 TO 7 -
YOU CAN LOOK THAT UP - MATTHEW
00:18:44.59\00:18:47.89
27:3-7 - IT TELLS HOW, DURING
THE TRIAL OF CHRIST, JUDAS,
00:18:47.92\00:18:51.86
OVERWHELMED WITH A SENSE OF
GUILT - YOU KNOW, ONCE THE DEVIL
00:18:51.89\00:18:55.06
HAD USED HIM HE DIDN'T NEED
JUDAS ANYMORE AND JUDAS, FINALLY
00:18:55.10\00:18:58.47
REALIZING WHAT HE HAD
DONE, CAME TO HIS SENSES.
00:18:58.50\00:19:00.64
HE BETRAYED THE SON OF GOD AND
THEY WERE PREPARING TO CRUCIFY
00:19:00.67\00:19:04.14
HIM. HE JUST WAS
CRUSHED BY A SENSE OF HIS GUILT.
00:19:04.17\00:19:07.31
HE WENT INTO THE OUTSKIRTS
OF THE TEMPLE WHERE HE WAS BEING
00:19:07.34\00:19:12.08
TRIED. THE SANHEDRIN WAS
MEETING. HE SAID, 'I'VE BETRAYED
00:19:12.11\00:19:16.15
INNOCENT BLOOD.' HE THREW DOWN
THE THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER.
00:19:16.18\00:19:19.52
THEY DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE IT
BECAUSE IT WAS BLOOD MONEY, THEY
00:19:19.55\00:19:22.16
CALLED IT, SO THEY BOUGHT
A 'POTTER'S FIELD' TO BURY
00:19:22.19\00:19:24.46
STRANGERS IN WITH THE MONEY.
THAT'S ALL IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
00:19:24.49\00:19:27.56
YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF I'M
- LET ME JUST SAY SOMETHING HERE
00:19:27.60\00:19:31.40
AT THE OUTSET, JUST
TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA.
00:19:31.43\00:19:33.40
ALRIGHT, HERE WE'VE GOT - I'VE
GOT THE BOOK OF MATTHEW - HERE'S
00:19:33.44\00:19:35.67
THE NEW TESTAMENT,
THIS IS THE OLD TESTAMENT.
00:19:35.70\00:19:39.01
OLD TESTAMENT, OF
COURSE, STARTS WITH MOSES.
00:19:39.04\00:19:41.18
NEW TESTAMENT DOESN'T
BEGIN UNTIL THE BIRTH OF JESUS.
00:19:41.21\00:19:43.98
THESE PROPHECIES I'M READING TO
YOU ABOUT THE MESSIAH, THEY COME
00:19:44.01\00:19:47.58
FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT.
NOT ONLY DO THEY COME FROM THE
00:19:47.62\00:19:50.25
OLD TESTAMENT, EVEN THOUGH
THERE'S NO PAGE HERE, THERE
00:19:50.29\00:19:53.46
OUGHT TO BE A PAGE IN YOUR BIBLE
THAT SAYS, '400 YEARS' - ONE
00:19:53.49\00:19:56.93
PAGE THAT JUST SAYS '400 YEARS
OF SILENCE.' THERE ARE 400 YEARS
00:19:56.96\00:20:00.96
BETWEEN ALL THESE PROPHECIES
AND WHEN JESUS FINALLY COMES.
00:20:00.96\00:20:05.50
THAT PROPHECY I JUST READ TO YOU
FROM ZECHARIAH - THEY COULDN'T
00:20:05.53\00:20:08.44
HAVE CONCOCTED AND MADE
THAT UP - 400 YEARS WENT BY.
00:20:08.47\00:20:11.37
WE KNOW FROM THE DEAD SEA
SCROLLS THAT THESE THINGS WERE
00:20:11.41\00:20:13.98
WRITTEN BEFORE JESUS WAS BORN.
00:20:14.01\00:20:16.28
HOW CAN YOU FABRICATE - HOW CAN
YOU COUNTERFEIT - HOW COULD YOU
00:20:16.31\00:20:20.62
MANUFACTURE THAT THAT PROPHECY
WOULD BE FULFILLED - THAT JESUS
00:20:20.65\00:20:25.45
WOULD BE BETRAYED BY A FRIEND,
WHO ATE BREAD WITH HIM, FOR
00:20:25.49\00:20:28.39
THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER
WHO WOULD THEN THROW IT TO THE
00:20:28.42\00:20:30.99
POTTER'S FIELD AND
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD?
00:20:31.03\00:20:33.36
I MEAN, THAT'S
JUST ONE OF THOUSANDS.
00:20:33.40\00:20:36.97
OH, ACTUALLY 300 -
I GOT CARRIED AWAY.
00:20:37.00\00:20:40.20
PROPHECIES - THERE MIGHT BE MORE
BUT SOMEONE COUNTED 300 AND I
00:20:40.24\00:20:42.97
BELIEVE IT. IT TELLS
ABOUT THE MANNER OF HIS DEATH.
00:20:43.00\00:20:47.11
THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE PROPHECY.
YOU READ IN PSALM 22, "THE
00:20:47.14\00:20:50.85
CONGREGATION OF THE
WICKED HAS ENCLOSED ME.
00:20:50.88\00:20:52.78
THEY PIERCED MY
HANDS AND MY FEET.
00:20:52.81\00:20:54.92
THEY DIVIDE MY GARMENTS AMONG
THEM, AND FOR MY CLOTHING THEY
00:20:54.95\00:20:58.22
CAST LOTS." THIS WAS
PROPHESIED NEARLY 800
00:20:58.25\00:21:01.86
YEARS BEFORE JESUS WAS
BORN. HOW COULD YOU KNOW THAT?
00:21:01.89\00:21:06.29
AND THAT'S ALL
IN THAT ONE PSALM.
00:21:06.33\00:21:08.03
AND THERE ARE MANY PSALMS.
PSALM 34, "HE GUARDS ALL HIS
00:21:08.06\00:21:11.10
BONES; NOT ONE
OF THEM IS BROKEN."
00:21:11.13\00:21:12.97
THEY BROKE THE BONES OF THE
THIEF ON THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT
00:21:13.00\00:21:16.07
OF JESUS - BECAUSE JESUS WAS
THE PASSOVER LAMB AND THEY WERE
00:21:16.10\00:21:18.84
NEVER TO BREAK THE
BONES OF THE PASSOVER LAMB -
00:21:18.87\00:21:21.28
THEY DIDN'T
BREAK ANY OF HIS BONES.
00:21:21.31\00:21:23.75
JUST AS THE PROPHECY HAD
SAID, HE GUARDS MY BONES.
00:21:23.78\00:21:27.22
JESUS ALSO CLAIMED TO BE THE SON
OF GOD - NOT IN THE SENSE THAT
00:21:27.25\00:21:32.52
WE ARE ALL SONS OF GOD, BUT IN
THE UNIQUE SENSE THAT HE IS THE
00:21:32.55\00:21:35.52
ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD AND HE
CLAIMED TO HAVE THE PREROGATIVES
00:21:35.56\00:21:40.30
OR THE POWERS OF THE
DIVINE. HE CLAIMED TO BE GOD.
00:21:40.33\00:21:43.67
NOW THOSE ARE SOME
PRETTY BOLD CLAIMS.
00:21:43.70\00:21:47.20
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH
WHAT JESUS SAYS ABOUT HIMSELF?
00:21:47.24\00:21:50.24
C.S. LEWIS PUTS IT THIS WAY,
"A MAN WHO WAS MERELY A MAN AND
00:21:50.27\00:21:53.68
SAID THE SORT OF THINGS THAT
JESUS SAID WOULDN'T BE A GREAT
00:21:53.71\00:21:56.08
MORAL TEACHER, HE'D BE A LUNATIC
ON THE LEVEL OF A MAN WHO SAYS
00:21:56.11\00:21:59.58
HE'S A POACHED EGG OR
ELSE HE'D BE THE DEVIL OF HELL.
00:21:59.61\00:22:03.25
YOU MUST MAKE YOUR CHOICE.
EITHER THIS MAN WAS AND IS THE
00:22:03.28\00:22:06.15
SON OF GOD OR ELSE HE'S A
MADMAN OR SOMETHING WORSE."
00:22:06.19\00:22:10.09
SOMEONE ELSE PUT IT THIS WAY,
"CHRIST WAS EITHER A CONSCIOUS
00:22:10.13\00:22:13.53
DECEIVER, DELUDED, OR DIVINE.
HE IS EITHER LUNATIC, LIAR, OR
00:22:13.56\00:22:19.77
LORD. THERE IS
NO ESCAPING ONE OF
00:22:19.80\00:22:22.37
THESE THREE OPTIONS." YOU
KNOW THERE'S THREE PRINCIPAL
00:22:22.40\00:22:25.47
REASONS JESUS CAME - FIRST,
HE CAME TO BE OUR EXAMPLE.
00:22:25.51\00:22:30.78
HE SAYS IN JOHN 13:5 - SORRY,
JOHN 13:15, "FOR I HAVE GIVEN
00:22:30.81\00:22:36.35
YOU AN EXAMPLE, THAT YOU
SHOULD TO AS I HAVE DONE."
00:22:36.38\00:22:39.39
PART OF THE REASON JESUS LIVED
FOR THIRTY-THREE AND A HALF
00:22:39.42\00:22:41.99
YEARS AMONG MEN IS HE SAID, 'I
WANT TO SHOW YOU HOW TO LIVE -
00:22:42.02\00:22:45.69
HOW TO LOVE EACH
OTHER - HOW TO FORGIVE.
00:22:45.73\00:22:47.76
I'M NOT JUST GOING TO TELL
YOU TO TURN THE OTHER CHEEK, I'M
00:22:47.76\00:22:50.23
GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW IT'S
DONE.' AND HE DID, DIDN'T HE?
00:22:50.27\00:22:53.40
WHEN HE WENT THROUGH HIS TRIAL?
'I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW TO
00:22:53.44\00:22:56.74
LOVE AND FORGIVE EACH
OTHER' - THE WAY HE FORGAVE.
00:22:56.77\00:22:59.41
HE CAME - POINT #2 -
TO REVEAL THE FATHER.
00:22:59.44\00:23:04.45
THIS WORLD IS VERY
CONFUSED ABOUT WHO GOD IS.
00:23:04.48\00:23:08.92
YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHY
IT IS THAT AS I INTERMINGLE WITH
00:23:08.95\00:23:14.79
PEOPLE I HEAR JESUS' NAME BEING
USED IN PROFANITY SO FREQUENTLY.
00:23:14.82\00:23:19.89
I'VE NEVER HEARD PEOPLE GET
MAD AND HIT THEIR FINGER WITH A
00:23:19.93\00:23:23.26
HAMMER AND SAY, 'OH
BUDDHA!' I DON'T HEAR THEM CITE
00:23:23.30\00:23:27.44
MOHAMMAD'S NAME
OR ALLAH OR KRISHNA.
00:23:27.47\00:23:32.44
WHY IS IT THERE'S THIS
DIABOLICAL FOCUS TO ESPECIALLY
00:23:32.47\00:23:38.08
SCORN THE NAME OF JESUS?
THAT IN AND OF ITSELF OUGHT TO
00:23:38.11\00:23:41.88
TELL YOU THERE'S A
SPIRITUAL BATTLE OUT THERE.
00:23:41.92\00:23:44.65
THE WORLD DOESN'T
KNOW WHO THE FATHER IS.
00:23:44.69\00:23:46.25
JESUS CAME TO SHOW US
WHAT THE FATHER IS LIKE.
00:23:46.29\00:23:49.56
HE SAID, "HAVE I BEEN WITH YOU
SO LONG AND YOU DON'T KNOW ME,
00:23:49.59\00:23:52.59
PHILIP? HE THAT HAS
SEEN ME HAS SEEN THE
00:23:52.63\00:23:55.00
FATHER." BY THE
WAY, THAT'S JOHN 14:9.
00:23:55.03\00:23:58.53
AND THEN, MOST IMPORTANTLY,
JESUS CAME TO TRADE PLACES WITH
00:23:58.57\00:24:02.24
US. WE ARE ALL UNDER A DEATH
00:24:02.27\00:24:04.21
SENTENCE BECAUSE OF OUR
SIN AND OUR SELFISHNESS.
00:24:04.24\00:24:07.18
AND CHRIST DOES NOT WANT TO LOSE
US. HE LOVES US AND HE SAID,
00:24:07.21\00:24:10.28
'I WILL COME. I WILL
TAKE THE PENALTY FOR YOUR
00:24:10.31\00:24:13.15
SIN AND NOT ONLY TAKE IT, I WILL
GIVE YOU MY STRENGTH AND POWER.
00:24:13.18\00:24:16.95
I AM GOING TO
BE YOUR SUBSTITUTE.
00:24:16.99\00:24:18.19
I WILL TRADE PLACES WITH YOU.'
HE SAID, 'I WILL GIVE YOU MY
00:24:18.22\00:24:22.32
GOODNESS AND I
WILL TAKE YOUR BADNESS.
00:24:22.36\00:24:24.23
I WILL GIVE YOU MY STRENGTH
AND I'LL TAKE YOUR WEAKNESS.
00:24:24.26\00:24:27.86
I WILL GIVE YOU MY LIFE
AND I WILL TAKE YOUR DEATH.
00:24:27.93\00:24:30.70
I WILL GIVE YOU MY PEACE AND
I WILL TAKE YOUR SUFFERINGS AND
00:24:30.73\00:24:33.30
YOUR MISERY.' HE'S OFFERING THAT
ALL AS A GIFT THAT WE RECEIVE BY
00:24:33.34\00:24:37.11
FAITH. BUT YOU
NEED TO BELIEVE THAT HE
00:24:37.14\00:24:39.41
IS WHO HE SAID HE IS.
DO YOU KNOW HIM, FRIENDS?
00:24:39.44\00:24:44.08
HAVE YOU ACCEPTED
HIM? YOU CAN RIGHT NOW.
00:24:44.11\00:24:47.58
"HIS EXAMPLE" - MARTIN LUTHER
SAID, IN HIS LIFE "IS SHOWING US
00:24:47.62\00:24:53.15
HOW TO LIVE. IN HIS
DEATH HE IS A SACRIFICE
00:24:53.19\00:24:56.42
SATISFYING FOR OUR SINS.
IN HIS RESURRECTION HE IS A
00:24:56.46\00:24:59.63
CONQUEROR. IN HIS
ASCENSION HE IS A KING.
00:24:59.66\00:25:02.46
IN HIS
INTERCESSION HE IS A PRIEST.
00:25:02.50\00:25:04.33
HE IS EVERYTHING THAT WE NEED."
IN THE VOLUME OF THE BOOK IT IS
00:25:04.37\00:25:08.30
WRITTEN OF HIM. WHEN WE
SEE ABRAHAM GOING UP THE
00:25:08.34\00:25:12.11
HILL WITH ISAAC WE SEE JESUS.
WHEN WE SEE MOSES LEADING A
00:25:12.14\00:25:15.44
NATION FROM
SLAVERY, WE SEE JESUS.
00:25:15.48\00:25:18.51
WHEN WE SEE JOSEPH FORGIVING HIS
BROTHERS FOR MISTREATING HIM WE
00:25:18.55\00:25:22.08
SEE JESUS. WE SEE
JESUS IN SAMPSON WHEN HE
00:25:22.12\00:25:25.29
STRETCHES OUT HIS ARMS TO DEFEAT
THE ENEMIES OF GOD'S PEOPLE.
00:25:25.32\00:25:29.02
WE SEE JESUS IN GIDEON DEFEATING
THE ENEMY WITH THIS SMALL GROUP.
00:25:29.06\00:25:34.20
ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE
I SEE JESUS EVERYWHERE.
00:25:34.20\00:25:36.60
THIS IS ALL ABOUT HIM. HE
WANTS YOU TO KNOW WHO HE IS.
00:25:36.63\00:25:40.67
GOD BECAME A MAN
AND HIS NAME WAS JESUS.
