>>WELL IT'S GOOD TO
SEE EACH OF YOU HERE.
00:00:50.31\00:00:52.71
WE'RE VERY THANKFUL THAT YOU ARE
WORSHIPING GOD WITH US TODAY.
00:00:52.75\00:00:55.95
ONE WAY WE DO THAT - ONE OF THE
MOST IMPORTANT WAYS WE DO THAT
00:00:55.98\00:00:59.22
IS THROUGH THE
STUDY OF HIS WORD.
00:00:59.25\00:01:02.32
AND REALLY, THE SUBJECT OF
CHRIST'S FIRST COMING IS ONE OF
00:01:02.36\00:01:08.90
THE MOST MARVELOUS
BIBLE STUDIES IN SCRIPTURE.
00:01:08.93\00:01:15.20
AND SO WE'VE TITLED THE
MESSAGE FOR TODAY 'GOD WITH US.'
00:01:15.24\00:01:19.24
'GOD WITH US.' WHEN
YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT THAT
00:01:19.27\00:01:21.78
MEANS - THAT GOD CAME INTO OUR
WORLD AND ENTERED THE DOMINION
00:01:21.81\00:01:27.25
WHERE WE EXIST AND BECAME
ONE OF US TO REACH US, IT IS
00:01:27.28\00:01:32.82
A MARVELOUS THOUGHT.
00:01:32.85\00:01:34.06
IT IS SOMETIMES REFERRED TO
AS THE TRUTH OF THE INCARNATION.
00:01:34.09\00:01:39.69
THE INCARNATION MEANS 'INCARNE'
- CARNE - WELL YOU WHAT CHILE
00:01:39.73\00:01:44.33
CON CARNE IS.
00:01:44.37\00:01:46.23
CARNE MEANS 'WITH FLESH' AND GOD
TOOK ON HIMSELF FLESH OF MAN AND
00:01:46.27\00:01:56.01
CAME INTO OUR WORLD AND
BECAME ONE OF US TO SAVE US.
00:01:56.04\00:01:59.41
WHEN I THINK ABOUT 'HOW DO YOU
CONCENTRATE GOD INTO A BABY?'
00:01:59.45\00:02:07.29
- YOU CAN'T WRAP YOUR MIND
AROUND THAT - HOW YOU CAN FIT
00:02:07.32\00:02:12.03
ALL OF GOD INTO A BABY.
00:02:12.06\00:02:15.73
AND YET, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED
WHEN JESUS CAME INTO OUR WORLD.
00:02:15.76\00:02:19.70
THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT.
00:02:19.73\00:02:22.04
COLOSSIANS 2, VERSE 9, "FOR
IN HIM DWELLS A PARTICLE OF THE
00:02:22.07\00:02:28.61
FULLNESS OF GOD" -
THAT'S NOT WHAT IT SAYS.
00:02:28.64\00:02:31.78
"IN HIM DWELLS ALL OF
THE FULLNESS OF GOD BODILY."
00:02:31.81\00:02:38.55
ALL THE FULLNESS OF THE
GODHEAD BODILY DWELLS IN CHRIST.
00:02:38.59\00:02:43.83
NOW THAT'S A MARVELOUS
THOUGHT WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT.
00:02:43.86\00:02:46.06
YOU SEE, JESUS CAME INTO OUR
WORLD TO RECONCILE US WITH GOD.
00:02:46.09\00:02:52.00
THERE IN THE MEMORY VERSE IN
MATTHEW 1:23, "BEHOLD A VIRGIN
00:02:52.03\00:02:55.54
WILL CONCEIVE AND BEAR A SON AND
HIS NAME WILL BE CALLED IMMANUEL
00:02:55.57\00:03:01.78
- IMMANUEL, WHICH IS
TRANSLATED 'GOD WITH US.'"
00:03:01.81\00:03:07.12
TO SAVE US GOD NEEDED TO COME
INTO OUR WORLD AND BE WITH US.
00:03:07.15\00:03:13.05
NOW I'VE GOT TO BACK UP AND
EXPLAIN WHY THIS WAS NECESSARY.
00:03:13.09\00:03:16.56
WE ARE SEPARATED
FROM GOD BECAUSE OF SIN.
00:03:16.59\00:03:20.63
IN ISAIAH 59:1, "BEHOLD THE
LORD'S HAND IS NOT SHORTENED
00:03:20.66\00:03:24.93
THAT IT CANNOT SAVE, NOR IS HIS
EAR HEAVY THAT HE CANNOT HEAR.
00:03:24.97\00:03:29.90
BUT YOUR INIQUITIES HAVE
SEPARATED YOU FROM GOD AND YOUR
00:03:29.94\00:03:33.88
SINS HAVE HIDDEN
HIS FACE FROM YOU."
00:03:33.91\00:03:36.48
YOU SEE, IN THE BEGINNING GOD
DIDN'T RUN FROM MAN, HE WANTED
00:03:36.51\00:03:40.18
TO BE WITH MAN.
00:03:40.22\00:03:41.15
HE WOULD WALK WITH MAN
IN THE COOL OF THE DAY.
00:03:41.18\00:03:43.49
BUT AFTER MAN
DISOBEYED, MAN RAN FROM GOD.
00:03:43.52\00:03:47.02
WHEN WE ARE SEPARATED FROM
GOD IT'S USUALLY BECAUSE WE ARE
00:03:47.06\00:03:49.42
CLINGING TO SIN.
00:03:49.46\00:03:51.56
MICAH 3, VERSE 4, "THEN
THEY'LL CRY TO THE LORD BUT
00:03:51.59\00:03:54.66
HE'LL NOT HEAR THEM.
00:03:54.73\00:03:55.90
HE'LL EVEN HIDE HIS FACE FROM
THEM AT THAT TIME BECAUSE OF THE
00:03:55.93\00:04:00.34
EVIL IN THEIR DEEDS.
00:04:00.37\00:04:01.67
NOW IT'S NOT THAT GOD
DOESN'T WANT TO BE WITH US.
00:04:01.70\00:04:06.24
HE'S NOT SAYING, 'WELL, YOU'VE
BEEN BAD SO I'M LEAVING YOU.'
00:04:06.27\00:04:09.78
WHAT HAPPENS IS BECAUSE OF OUR
SIN, HE IS FORCED TO SEPARATE
00:04:09.81\00:04:13.75
HIMSELF FROM US BECAUSE THE
GLORY OF GOD IS SO PURE AND SO
00:04:13.78\00:04:17.99
POWERFUL AND SO PERFECT THAT IF
WE WERE EXPOSED TO HIS UNVEILED
00:04:18.02\00:04:22.49
GLORY, IT WOULD CONSUME US.
00:04:22.52\00:04:25.33
SO TO PROTECT US HE SEPARATES,
BUT HE WANTS TO BE WITH US.
00:04:25.36\00:04:30.00
SO HE DEVELOPED A UNIQUE PLAN:
'IF I COULD BECOME ONE OF THEM,
00:04:30.03\00:04:34.50
I COULD DWELL WITH
THEM TO SAVE THEM.'
00:04:34.54\00:04:37.61
BUT IF GOD IN HIS GLORY APPEARS
TO US RIGHT NOW, WE COULDN'T
00:04:37.64\00:04:40.34
BEAR IT.
00:04:40.38\00:04:42.21
SO WE'RE RESTORED THROUGH
GOD THE SON WHO BECAME A MAN.
00:04:42.24\00:04:47.78
RESTORATION COMES THROUGH JESUS.
00:04:47.82\00:04:50.42
MATTHEW 18, VERSE 12, THE
LORD SAID, "WHAT DO YOU THINK?
00:04:50.45\00:04:54.69
IF A MAN HAS A HUNDRED SHEEP AND
ONE OF THEM GOES ASTRAY, DOESN'T
00:04:54.72\00:04:58.29
HE LEAVE THE NINETY AND NINE
IN THE MOUNTAINS AND TO GO SEEK
00:04:58.33\00:05:01.66
THAT ONE THAT IS STRAYING?"
00:05:01.70\00:05:03.87
THAT'S REALLY
TALKING ABOUT OUR WORLD.
00:05:03.90\00:05:06.10
GOD HAS ALL THESE UNFALLEN
WORLDS OUT THERE AND ANGELS AND
00:05:06.13\00:05:09.04
HE'S LEFT ALL OF THEM TO COME TO
THIS WORLD TO BECOME ONE OF US
00:05:09.07\00:05:13.07
TO SAVE US - BECAUSE
HE WANTS TO BE WITH US.
00:05:13.11\00:05:16.91
EPHESIANS 2:16, "AND THAT HE
MIGHT RECONCILE THEM BOTH TO GOD
00:05:16.95\00:05:22.22
IN ONE BODY THROUGH THE CROSS."
00:05:22.25\00:05:24.22
JESUS CAME TO
RECONCILE US TO GOD.
00:05:24.25\00:05:27.06
"THEREFORE PUTTING
TO DEATH THE ENMITY.
00:05:27.09\00:05:29.89
AND HE CAME AND HE PREACHED
PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE FAR OFF
00:05:29.92\00:05:33.50
AND THOSE WHO WERE NEAR; FOR
THROUGH HIM BOTH HAVE ACCESS BY
00:05:33.53\00:05:37.13
ONE SPIRIT TO THE FATHER."
00:05:37.17\00:05:38.67
SO THOSE THAT ARE SEPARATED
ARE BROUGHT TOGETHER BY GOD.
00:05:38.70\00:05:41.70
NOW WHEN YOU ARE THINKING
ABOUT THIS, I ALWAYS THINK ABOUT
00:05:41.74\00:05:45.84
2 CORINTHIANS 5:19, "THAT GOD
WAS IN CHRIST" - YOU MIGHT WANT
00:05:45.87\00:05:52.28
TO UNDERSCORE THAT BECAUSE
I'M GOING TO COME BACK TO THAT -
00:05:52.31\00:05:54.62
THAT'S GOING TO BE THE CENTRAL
POINT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
00:05:54.65\00:05:57.02
"GOD WAS IN CHRIST" - IN JESUS
- "RECONCILING THE WORLD TO
00:05:57.05\00:06:02.42
HIMSELF, NOT IMPUTING THEIR
TRESPASSES TO THEM" - HE DOESN'T
00:06:02.46\00:06:07.93
GIVE US CREDIT FOR OUR SINS
BECAUSE JESUS CAME TO TAKE THEM
00:06:07.96\00:06:13.17
- HE RECONCILES THE WORLD - "NOT
IMPUTING THEIR TRESPASSES TO
00:06:13.20\00:06:16.50
THEM AND HE'S COMMITTED TO THEM
THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION."
00:06:16.54\00:06:21.88
JESUS REALLY, AND HIS ROBE OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS, SORT OF PROVIDES
00:06:21.91\00:06:24.68
US WITH THAT
RADIATION-PROOF GARMENT.
00:06:24.71\00:06:27.85
YOU EVER SEE THESE PEOPLE THAT
ARE WORKING IN THE NUCLEAR LABS?
00:06:27.88\00:06:30.45
THEY'RE WEARING THESE SPECIAL
SUITS THAT CAN RESIST BOTH HEAT
00:06:30.49\00:06:33.39
AND RADIATION?
00:06:33.42\00:06:35.32
WELL, THE GLORY OF GOD IS
LIKE THAT RADIATION AND JESUS,
00:06:35.36\00:06:39.39
THROUGH HIS DEATH, HE PROVIDES
US WITH THESE ROBES WHERE WE CAN
00:06:39.43\00:06:42.40
SURVIVE AND ENDURE IN
THE PRESENCE OF A HOLY GOD.
00:06:42.43\00:06:48.14
NOW, HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT
AT WHAT POINT DID JESUS REALIZE
00:06:48.17\00:06:51.31
WHO HE WAS?
00:06:51.34\00:06:52.97
HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED THAT?
00:06:53.01\00:06:55.48
WELL I HAVE TOO.
00:06:55.51\00:06:57.35
I THINK IT REALLY BEGAN
WHEN HE WAS TWELVE YEARS OLD.
00:06:57.38\00:06:59.85
IF YOU ARE IN THE GOSPEL OF LUKE
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THE RED
00:06:59.88\00:07:02.65
LETTERS REALLY APPEAR.
00:07:02.68\00:07:04.72
IN LUKE CHAPTER 2, VERSE 49 -
WHEN DID JESUS FIRST REALIZE HE
00:07:04.75\00:07:09.26
WAS GOD'S SON?
00:07:09.29\00:07:12.96
YOU REMEMBER WHEN HIS
PARENTS TOOK HIM TO THE TEMPLE?
00:07:12.99\00:07:15.93
KIND OF LOST TRACK OF HIM - HE
WAS FILLED WITH AMAZEMENT AS HE
00:07:15.96\00:07:19.93
SAW THE PASSOVER.
00:07:19.97\00:07:21.20
NOW WHEN A JEWISH BOY GOT TO
BE TWELVE HE BEGAN ATTENDING THE
00:07:21.24\00:07:23.81
FEASTS WITH HIS FATHER AND HE
WENT AND HE WAS TRYING TO TAKE
00:07:23.84\00:07:26.27
IN THE MEANING OF ALL THIS -
HE HAD READ THE SCRIPTURES - AND
00:07:26.31\00:07:29.44
ALL OF A SUDDEN THE HOLY SPIRIT
BEGAN TO TALK TO HIM AND SAID,
00:07:29.48\00:07:32.01
'YOU ARE THIS LAMB.'
AND HE BEGAN TO REALIZE WHAT
00:07:32.05\00:07:35.38
THAT MEANT AND IT WAS A DIVINE
REVELATION THAT CAME TO HIM.
00:07:35.42\00:07:39.19
NOW, THIS IS THE MAIN
POINT OF WHAT I WANT TO SAY:
00:07:39.22\00:07:43.32
WAS JESUS GOD?
00:07:43.36\00:07:48.26
JOHN 5, VERSES 17 AND 18,
THROUGHOUT THE MINISTRY OF
00:07:48.30\00:07:53.84
JESUS, HE WAS NEARLY STONED
BECAUSE HIS ENEMIES UNDERSTOOD
00:07:53.87\00:07:59.54
HE WAS CLAIMING DIVINITY.
00:07:59.57\00:08:02.64
NOW HE WAS EITHER MAD OR HE WAS
TELLING THE TRUTH, BUT HE DID
00:08:02.68\00:08:09.92
CLAIM TO BE
MORE THAN JUST A MAN.
00:08:09.95\00:08:12.95
HE SAID, "MY FATHER
HAS BEEN WORKING UNTIL NOW
00:08:12.99\00:08:15.59
AND I AM WORKING.
00:08:15.62\00:08:16.99
THEREFORE, THE JEWS SOUGHT
ALL THE MORE TO KILL HIM."
00:08:17.03\00:08:19.49
NOT ONLY BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT HE
BROKE THE SABBATH, BUT THAT HE
00:08:19.53\00:08:22.56
SAID THAT HIS FATHER WAS GOD,
MAKING HIMSELF EQUAL WITH GOD.
00:08:22.60\00:08:27.27
NOW, THEY THOUGHT JESUS WAS
MAKING HIMSELF EQUAL WITH GOD.
00:08:27.30\00:08:31.01
DID HE CORRECT THEM? NO.
00:08:31.04\00:08:34.61
HE ALLOWED THEM TO THINK
THAT - WHY? BECAUSE IT'S TRUE.
00:08:34.64\00:08:37.98
JESUS ACTUALLY NEVER CAME - THIS
IS WHAT THROWS PEOPLE - YOU KNOW
00:08:38.01\00:08:41.05
JESUS NEVER CAME OUT
ANYWHERE AND SAID, 'I AM GOD.'
00:08:41.08\00:08:45.12
HE NEVER SAID IT THAT WAY.
00:08:45.15\00:08:46.89
BUT HE SAID IT EVERY OTHER WAY
SO THAT WE WOULD STUDY IT AND
00:08:46.92\00:08:50.46
REALIZE IT.
00:08:50.49\00:08:52.29
YOU KNOW, YOU APPRECIATE
A TREASURE OF TRUTH WHEN YOU
00:08:52.33\00:08:53.86
STUDY IT.
00:08:53.90\00:08:54.83
SO HE SAID THINGS ALL AROUND IT.
00:08:54.86\00:08:56.63
HERE'S ANOTHER ONE: CHRIST
REFERRED TO HIMSELF AS THE GREAT
00:08:56.67\00:08:59.43
'I AM'.
00:08:59.47\00:09:01.87
NOW YOU REMEMBER IN THE OLD
TESTAMENT IN EXODUS 3 WHEN MOSES
00:09:01.90\00:09:06.37
SAID TO GOD, 'WHOM
SHALL I SAY IS SENDING ME?'
00:09:06.41\00:09:11.68
AND GOD ANSWERED AND
SAID, 'I AM WHO I AM'
00:09:11.71\00:09:16.48
HE SAID. 'THUS YOU SHALL
SAY TO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL,
00:09:16.52\00:09:19.49
'I AM HAS SENT ME TO YOU.''
IN OTHER WORDS, 'I'M NOT JUST
00:09:19.52\00:09:23.86
ONE OF THE OTHER GODS' - YOU
KNOW THE EGYPTIANS - THEY HAD
00:09:23.89\00:09:25.99
THE GODS OF THE RIVERS AND THE
PAGANS HAD THE GODS OF THE TREES
00:09:26.03\00:09:28.43
AND THE BUSHES AND THE SUN
AND THE AIR AND THE WIND AND THE
00:09:28.46\00:09:30.47
RIVERS AND - ALL THESE DIFFERENT
GODS AND IT'S ALMOST LIKE HE'S
00:09:30.50\00:09:33.67
SAYING, 'WHICH GOD
ARE YOU THAT I'LL SAY?'
00:09:33.70\00:09:36.37
AND HE THOUGHT, 'BOY,
THIS IS REALLY MIND BENDING.'
00:09:36.40\00:09:39.51
HE SAID,
'MOSES, I AM THAT I AM.'
00:09:39.54\00:09:44.75
I AM NOT A GOD OF A
CERTAIN TERRITORY, I AM THE
00:09:44.78\00:09:49.28
SELF-EXISTENT ETERNAL ONE THAT
EVERYTHING ELSE IS MADE OUT OF.
00:09:49.32\00:09:54.06
I AM.' THAT SORT OF SUMS IT UP.
00:09:54.09\00:09:57.19
YOU TELL ME IF YOU THINK IT'S
JUST CODE HOW OFTEN JESUS USED
00:09:57.23\00:10:01.16
THE 'I AM' TO REFER TO HIMSELF.
00:10:01.20\00:10:04.93
JOHN 6:35, "I AM
THE BREAD OF LIFE."
00:10:04.97\00:10:08.90
YOU'VE GOT THEM UP
THERE ON YOUR SCREEN.
00:10:08.94\00:10:11.67
IT'S NOT ALL THAT
YOU'LL FIND IN THE BIBLE.
00:10:11.71\00:10:13.98
BUT NOTICE THE
EMPHASIS ON 'I AM'.
00:10:14.01\00:10:16.71
IT'S GOD WHO GIVES
US THAT BREAD OF LIFE.
00:10:16.75\00:10:18.55
JESUS IS THE WORD.
00:10:18.58\00:10:19.65
JOHN 8:12, "I AM
THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD."
00:10:19.68\00:10:23.22
JOHN 10, VERSE
9, "I AM THE DOOR."
00:10:23.25\00:10:27.56
JOHN 10, VERSE 11, "I
AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD."
00:10:27.59\00:10:31.66
JOHN 10:36 - THIS IS AS CLOSE AS
HE COMES TO SAYING 'I AM GOD.'
00:10:31.69\00:10:35.50
HE SAYS, 'I AM THE SON OF
GOD.' JOHN 11:25, "I AM THE
00:10:35.53\00:10:40.94
RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE."
00:10:40.97\00:10:43.91
JOHN 46, "I AM THE WAY,
THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE."
00:10:43.94\00:10:49.04
JOHN 15, VERSE 1,
"I AM THE TRUE VINE."
00:10:49.08\00:10:54.12
ALL THROUGH THE NEW TESTAMENT
JESUS STATES HIMSELF AS THE
00:10:54.15\00:10:59.79
GREAT SELF-EXISTENT ONE.
00:10:59.82\00:11:02.02
THEN YOU GO TO JOHN 10:30
- YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER STORY.
00:11:02.06\00:11:05.06
JESUS SAID, "I AND
MY FATHER ARE ONE."
00:11:05.09\00:11:08.23
THE JEWS TOOK UP
STONES AGAIN TO STONE HIM.
00:11:08.26\00:11:10.77
BECAUSE, HERE NOW, CHRIST IS
QUOTING FROM WHERE MOSES SAID,
00:11:10.80\00:11:13.37
'HEAR, O ISRAEL, THE
LORD OUR GOD IS ONE.'
00:11:13.40\00:11:17.01
AND HERE JESUS IS SAYING,
'I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE'.
00:11:17.04\00:11:19.54
HE'S NOT TALKING ABOUT ONENESS
LIKE A MAN AND A WIFE AND
00:11:19.57\00:11:21.74
A MARRIAGE, HE'S SAYING
'WE ARE ONE AND THE SAME.'
00:11:21.78\00:11:24.71
THAT WORD THERE IN GREEK MEANS
'WE ARE OF THE SAME ESSENCE -
00:11:24.75\00:11:28.25
WE ARE THE SAME.' "I
AND MY FATHER ARE ONE."
00:11:28.28\00:11:32.92
THE JEWS KNEW WHAT HE WAS SAYING
AND IF YOU DOUBT IT, NOTICE -
00:11:32.95\00:11:35.86
"THEY TOOK UP
STONES TO STONE HIM.
00:11:35.89\00:11:38.69
JESUS ANSWERED, 'FOR
MANY GOOD WORKS I'VE SHOWN YOU
00:11:38.73\00:11:41.10
OF MY FATHER.
00:11:41.13\00:11:42.23
FOR WHICH OF
THESE DO YOU STONE ME?'"
00:11:42.26\00:11:44.07
WHAT A PERFECT TIME FOR CHRIST
TO SAY, 'I DIDN'T MEAN THAT.
00:11:44.10\00:11:46.70
THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT GUYS.
00:11:46.74\00:11:47.97
PUT THE ROCKS DOWN.'
HE DIDN'T CORRECT THEM.
00:11:48.00\00:11:51.21
HE DID MEAN WHAT HE SAID.
00:11:51.24\00:11:54.28
"'FOR WHICH OF THOSE DO YOU
STONE ME?' THE JEWS ANSWERED,
00:11:54.31\00:11:56.44
'FOR A GOOD WORK WE
DO NOT STONE YOU BUT FOR
00:11:56.48\00:11:58.95
BLASPHEMY BECAUSE'" -
NOTICE - "'YOU, BEING A MAN,
00:11:58.98\00:12:03.15
MAKE YOURSELF GOD.'" HE
DIDN'T CORRECT THEM BECAUSE
00:12:03.18\00:12:07.19
HE WAS GOD.
00:12:07.22\00:12:08.99
LOOK AT SOME OF THE CRITERIA
THAT DEFINES GOD AND SEE IF
00:12:09.02\00:12:11.36
JESUS MEETS THOSE CRITERIA.
00:12:11.39\00:12:14.63
FOR ONE THING, ONLY
GOD CAN FORGIVE SIN.
00:12:14.66\00:12:17.93
NOW YOU MIGHT OFFEND ME AND
I CAN SAY I FORGIVE YOU, BUT
00:12:17.97\00:12:21.24
THAT'S DIFFERENT THAN ME
FORGIVING YOUR SINS IN GENERAL -
00:12:21.27\00:12:25.01
ME FORGIVING SIN IN YOUR LIFE.
00:12:25.04\00:12:26.64
I CAN'T DO THAT, ONLY GOD
CAN FORGIVE YOUR RECORD OF SIN.
00:12:26.68\00:12:29.98
DO WE ALL AGREE?
00:12:30.01\00:12:31.58
AND, OF COURSE, THE VERSE IS
ISAIAH 43:25, "I, EVEN I AM HE
00:12:31.61\00:12:37.75
WHO BLOTS OUT YOUR
TRANSGRESSIONS FOR MINE OWN SAKE
00:12:37.79\00:12:41.06
AND I'LL NOT
REMEMBER YOUR SINS."
00:12:41.09\00:12:43.89
MARK 2, VERSE 5,
"THEN JESUS SAW THEIR FAITH.
00:12:43.93\00:12:46.49
HE SAID TO THE PARALYTIC,
'SON, YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN.'
00:12:46.53\00:12:49.83
AND SOME OF THE SCRIBES WERE
SITTING THERE AND THEY REASONED
00:12:49.86\00:12:52.60
IN THEIR HEARTS, 'WHY DOES THIS
MAN SPEAK BLASPHEMIES LIKE THIS?
00:12:52.63\00:12:56.24
WHO CAN FORGIVE
SIN BUT GOD ALONE?'"
00:12:56.27\00:12:58.21
THEY WERE RIGHT,
THEOLOGICALLY, ONLY GOD
00:12:58.24\00:13:00.18
CAN FORGIVE SIN.
00:13:00.21\00:13:01.24
COULD JESUS FORGIVE SIN?
00:13:01.28\00:13:03.41
IF ONLY GOD CAN FORGIVE SIN AND
IF JESUS COULD FORGIVE SIN, THEN
00:13:03.45\00:13:06.82
JESUS MUST BE GOD.
00:13:06.85\00:13:08.52
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
00:13:08.55\00:13:10.92
FINISH THIS VERSE FOR ME:
'IN THE BEGINNING'...WHAT DID
00:13:10.95\00:13:17.53
GOD DO?
00:13:17.56\00:13:18.76
HE CREATED THE
HEAVENS AND THE EARTH.
00:13:18.79\00:13:22.10
NOW WAS JESUS THE CREATOR?
00:13:22.13\00:13:25.57
COLOSSIANS 1, VERSE 16 - NOTICE
- "FOR BY HIM ALL THINGS THAT
00:13:25.60\00:13:31.17
ARE CREATED" - SPEAKING OF JESUS
- "THAT ARE IN HEAVEN, THAT ARE
00:13:31.21\00:13:34.88
ON THE EARTH, VISIBLE AND
INVISIBLE, WHETHER THRONES OR
00:13:34.91\00:13:39.11
DOMINIONS OR PRINCIPALITIES OR
POWERS, ALL THINGS WERE CREATED
00:13:39.15\00:13:43.25
THROUGH HIM AND FOR HIM."
00:13:43.28\00:13:45.25
ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY HIM.
00:13:45.29\00:13:48.76
AND AGAIN, WE ALL KNOW, IN JOHN
1, VERSE 3, "ALL THINGS WERE
00:13:48.79\00:13:53.73
MADE THROUGH HIM.
00:13:53.76\00:13:54.93
WITHOUT HIM WAS
NOTHING MADE THAT WAS MADE."
00:13:54.93\00:13:58.20
IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED.
00:13:58.23\00:14:00.10
IT SAYS THAT GOD CREATED.
00:14:00.14\00:14:01.74
IT SAYS THAT JESUS
CREATED ALL THINGS.
00:14:01.77\00:14:02.84
THEN JESUS MUST BE GOD.
00:14:02.87\00:14:04.61
YOU STILL WITH ME?
00:14:04.64\00:14:05.94
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
00:14:05.97\00:14:07.78
MATTHEW 4, VERSE 10, "FOR IT
IS WRITTEN" - JESUS EVEN QUOTED
00:14:07.81\00:14:10.98
THIS TO SATAN - "YOU SHALL
WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD AND
00:14:11.01\00:14:14.12
HIM ONLY SHALL YOU SERVE."
00:14:14.15\00:14:16.38
THE ONLY ONE WHO
DESERVES OUR WORSHIP IS GOD.
00:14:16.42\00:14:19.95
IT IS A SIN TO WORSHIP
A MAN OR EVEN AN ANGEL.
00:14:19.99\00:14:24.36
YOU CAN READ IN REVELATION 19,
VERSE 10, WHEN JOHN IS HAVING
00:14:24.39\00:14:27.86
THE VISION OF REVELATION THIS
ANGEL - THIS POWERFUL ANGEL IS
00:14:27.86\00:14:30.80
SENT AND HE IS SO OVERWHELMED
WITH THE POWER AND THE GLORY OF
00:14:30.83\00:14:33.20
THIS ANGEL, HE FALLS DOWN TO
WORSHIP THE ANGEL - WHAT DOES
00:14:33.23\00:14:36.07
THE ANGEL SAY?
00:14:36.10\00:14:38.21
"I FELL AT HIS FEET TO WORSHIP
HIM BUT HE SAID, 'SEE THAT YOU
00:14:38.24\00:14:41.01
DO NOT DO THAT.'" HE
WAS SINNING RIGHT UP HERE
00:14:41.04\00:14:44.51
IN A HEAVENLY VISION.
00:14:44.55\00:14:45.58
"'DON'T WORSHIP ME.
00:14:45.61\00:14:47.45
I AM OF YOUR FELLOW SERVANT AND
OF YOUR BRETHREN WHO HAVE THE
00:14:47.48\00:14:51.15
TESTIMONY OF JESUS.
00:14:51.19\00:14:52.39
WORSHIP GOD.'"
ONLY TO WORSHIP GOD.
00:14:52.42\00:14:57.16
BUT EVEN THE ANGELS
WORSHIPED JESUS. PRETTY PLAIN.
00:14:57.19\00:15:02.43
HEBREWS 1:6, "BUT WHEN AGAIN
HE BRINGS HIS FIRSTBORN INTO THE
00:15:02.46\00:15:06.13
WORLD HE SAYS, 'LET ALL THE
ANGELS OF GOD WORSHIP HIM.'"
00:15:06.17\00:15:10.44
WHEN THE ANGELS SANG AT
THE BIRTH OF CHRIST TO THE
00:15:10.47\00:15:13.17
SHEPHERDS, THEY
WERE WORSHIPING CHRIST.
00:15:13.21\00:15:18.55
SO, IF THE BIBLE SAYS YOU'RE TO
ONLY WORSHIP GOD, AND IF WE'RE
00:15:18.58\00:15:22.22
TOLD TO WORSHIP JESUS,
THEN JESUS MUST BE GOD.
00:15:22.25\00:15:26.69
IS THE EVIDENCE
MOUNTING, FRIENDS?
00:15:26.72\00:15:29.46
IT TELLS US THAT GOD IS
OUR JUDGE, IN THE BIBLE.
00:15:29.49\00:15:34.83
1 SAMUEL 2, VERSE 10,
"THE LORD WILL JUDGE THE ENDS
00:15:34.83\00:15:38.07
OF THE EARTH."
00:15:38.10\00:15:40.30
'ALL WILL SIT BEFORE THE
JUDGMENT SEAT OF GOD' PAUL SAID.
00:15:40.34\00:15:43.54
PSALM 98, VERSES 8 AND 9, "LET
THE RIVERS CLAP THEIR HANDS.
00:15:43.57\00:15:46.84
LET THE HILLS BE JOYFUL TOGETHER
BEFORE THE LORD, FOR HE IS
00:15:46.88\00:15:49.84
COMING TO JUDGE THE
EARTH WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:15:49.88\00:15:52.58
HE WILL JUDGE THE WORLD
AND THE PEOPLE WITH EQUITY."
00:15:52.61\00:15:56.15
NOW, WHAT DOES
IT SAY ABOUT JESUS?
00:15:56.18\00:15:58.52
JOHN 5:22, "FOR THE
FATHER JUDGES NO ONE."
00:15:58.55\00:16:02.69
SO THIS GOD THAT'S GOING TO
BE DOING THE JUDGING IN THE LAST
00:16:02.72\00:16:04.96
DAYS AND JESUS SAID, "THE FATHER
JUDGES NO ONE BUT HAS COMMITTED
00:16:04.99\00:16:08.56
ALL" - HOW MUCH? -
"ALL JUDGMENT TO THE SON."
00:16:08.60\00:16:13.50
IF IT SAYS THAT GOD IS OUR JUDGE
AND GOD THE FATHER IS JUDGING NO
00:16:13.54\00:16:17.07
ONE AND ALL JUDGMENT IS DONE
BY GOD THE SON, IS JESUS GOD?
00:16:17.11\00:16:24.11
DON'T EVER BE
ASHAMED ABOUT THAT.
00:16:24.15\00:16:26.61
DON'T EVER BE
HESITANT ABOUT THAT.
00:16:26.65\00:16:29.08
THAT'S WHAT MAKES THE
EVENT OF HIS BIRTH SO UNIQUE.
00:16:29.12\00:16:32.09
HE WASN'T JUST A
CHILD WITH A BRIGHT FUTURE.
00:16:32.12\00:16:34.96
HE WASN'T JUST A
VERY INTELLIGENT SPEAKER.
00:16:34.99\00:16:38.26
YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE POINT
THAT CHOKES MUCH OF THE WORLD.
00:16:38.29\00:16:43.37
IF YOU GO AND LISTEN TO THE NEWS
COMMENTATORS TALK, OR YOU WATCH
00:16:43.40\00:16:47.10
SOME PROGRAM FROM HISTORY OR
DISCOVERY OR NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
00:16:47.14\00:16:51.47
ABOUT JESUS THEY SAY, 'HE
WAS A VERY INTRIGUING TEACHER.
00:16:51.51\00:16:55.91
HE WAS A VERY PROFOUND SPEAKER.
00:16:55.94\00:16:59.01
HE WAS CAPTIVATING.
00:16:59.05\00:17:00.32
GREAT COMMUNICATOR.
00:17:00.35\00:17:01.78
KNEW HOW TO SIMPLIFY THINGS.'
THEY HAVE NO PROBLEM ADMITTING
00:17:01.82\00:17:05.12
HE LIVED.
00:17:05.15\00:17:06.32
THEY HAVE NO PROBLEM TALKING
ABOUT THE WONDERFUL JOB HE DID
00:17:06.35\00:17:08.16
TEACHING - HOW HE MOVED PEOPLE
- WHAT A UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL
00:17:08.19\00:17:10.33
HE WAS - WHAT AN
EXTRAORDINARY CHARACTER -
00:17:10.36\00:17:13.46
WHAT AN INTERESTING PERSON.
00:17:13.50\00:17:16.16
BUT WHEN YOU SAY,
'WELL, YOU KNOW, HE WAS GOD.'
00:17:16.20\00:17:19.70
THAT'S WHERE THEY GAG.
00:17:19.73\00:17:21.84
THAT'S WHERE THEY CHOKE.
00:17:21.87\00:17:24.61
THAT'S WHERE THEY GET NERVOUS
AND RESTLESS BECAUSE THAT'S
00:17:24.64\00:17:27.48
DIFFERENT THAN JUST
AN INTERESTING PERSON.
00:17:27.51\00:17:31.45
I'VE GOT A LOT OF JEWISH FAMILY
AND WHEN I SAY, 'WHAT DO YOU
00:17:31.48\00:17:35.08
THINK OF JESUS?'
'OH, HE WAS A GOOD MAN.
00:17:35.12\00:17:36.72
HE WAS A PROPHET.
00:17:36.75\00:17:37.79
HE WAS A GOOD MAN.' YOU
CAN TALK TO MUSLIMS AROUND
00:17:37.82\00:17:42.19
THE WORLD - 'OH JESUS
WAS A PROPHET. GOOD MAN.'
00:17:42.22\00:17:44.89
NOW WHAT'S THE PROBLEM FOR ME IS
HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT YOU BELIEVE
00:17:44.93\00:17:49.16
THAT JESUS WAS A PROPHET AND
WHEN HE SAYS, 'I'M THE MESSIAH'
00:17:49.20\00:17:52.97
THEY SAY, 'WELL, THAT'S THE ONE
PLACE WHERE THAT PROPHET LIED.'
00:17:53.00\00:17:57.11
IF YOU BELIEVE HE'S A PROPHET
THEN BELIEVE WHAT HE SAID AND HE
00:17:57.14\00:17:59.47
SAID THAT 'I AM THE SON OF GOD.'
AND SO THAT'S WHY WE MUSTN'T
00:17:59.51\00:18:04.41
LOSE SIGHT OF THIS TRUTH.
00:18:04.45\00:18:05.65
HE WASN'T JUST AN
INTERESTING PERSON.
00:18:05.68\00:18:08.32
THE BIRTH OF CHRIST IS THE EVENT
THAT TRANSCENDS EVERY OTHER
00:18:08.35\00:18:12.32
HUMAN BIRTH IN HISTORY BECAUSE,
ULTIMATELY WE'RE ALL CREATED BY
00:18:12.35\00:18:19.56
GOD, BUT HERE YOU HAVE THE
CREATOR BECOMING THE CREATION TO
00:18:19.59\00:18:26.37
SAVE THE CREATION.
00:18:26.40\00:18:30.04
REVELATION 1:8, CHRIST SAID, 'I
AM THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA, THE
00:18:30.07\00:18:35.91
BEGINNING AND THE END' SAYETH
THE LORD, 'WHICH IS AND WAS
00:18:35.94\00:18:40.72
AND IS TO COME, THE ALMIGHTY.'
HERE'S THE LORD SPEAKING.
00:18:40.75\00:18:46.19
HE SAYS, 'I AM THE ALMIGHTY.'
ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE, WHENEVER
00:18:46.22\00:18:48.56
YOU TALK ABOUT OR READ ABOUT THE
ALMIGHTY GOD - HIS NAME WILL BE
00:18:48.59\00:18:52.13
CALLED 'WONDERFUL, COUNSELOR,
THE MIGHTY GOD, THE EVERLASTING
00:18:52.16\00:18:56.20
FATHER, THE PRINCE OF PEACE.'
THAT'S JESUS - THE ALMIGHTY GOD,
00:18:56.23\00:19:01.27
JEHOVAH, ENTERED INTO THIS BABY.
00:19:01.30\00:19:07.98
WHEN WE READ JOHN 3:16 AND
IT TALKS ABOUT THE ONLY BEGOTTEN
00:19:08.01\00:19:13.85
SON - WE ALL KNOW THAT VERSE
- "FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD HE
00:19:13.88\00:19:18.95
GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT
WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM MIGHT
00:19:18.99\00:19:22.39
NOT PERISH BUT
HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE."
00:19:22.42\00:19:25.13
SO WHY IS JESUS
CALLED 'THE ONLY BEGOTTEN'?
00:19:25.16\00:19:27.60
WHAT DOES THAT
MEAN IN THAT PHRASE?
00:19:27.66\00:19:30.67
THAT WORD BEGOTTEN THERE MEANS
THE ONLY TIME THAT GOD WAS BORN
00:19:30.70\00:19:35.90
AS A MAN.
00:19:35.94\00:19:38.37
WHEN DID JESUS BECOME
THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD?
00:19:38.41\00:19:42.54
IT WAS WHEN HE WAS
BORN INTO OUR WORLD.
00:19:42.58\00:19:44.68
HE WAS ALWAYS THE SON OF GOD.
00:19:44.71\00:19:47.55
THEY ALWAYS HAD THIS
RELATIONSHIP THAT YOU AND I
00:19:47.58\00:19:49.55
CAN'T UNDERSTAND.
00:19:49.58\00:19:51.82
AND THE CLOSEST TERMS THAT
GOD CAN GIVE US FOR YOU AND I
00:19:51.85\00:19:54.32
TO RELATE TO IS THE POWERFUL
LOVE BETWEEN A FATHER, OR
00:19:54.36\00:19:58.63
A MOTHER EVEN, AND THEIR CHILD.
00:19:58.66\00:20:01.86
AND THERE SEEMS TO BE A
STAGGERING AUTHORITY BETWEEN GOD
00:20:01.90\00:20:04.50
THE FATHER AND GOD THE SON,
BUT THEY'RE ALL - THEY'RE GOD
00:20:04.53\00:20:08.84
IN THE SPIRIT.
00:20:08.87\00:20:11.44
ONLY BEGOTTEN SON IS THE
ONLY TIME THAT GOD WAS BORN AS A
00:20:11.47\00:20:15.48
HUMAN IS WHAT THAT'S
SAYING, WAS IN JESUS.
00:20:15.51\00:20:20.32
BUT HE WAS GOD - ALWAYS, ALL
THE TIME, HAD ALWAYS EXISTED.
00:20:20.35\00:20:24.42
YOU KNOW, THIS IS A MYSTERY.
00:20:24.45\00:20:27.29
1 TIMOTHY 3:16 - KIND OF
LIKE JOHN 3:16 - 1 TIMOTHY 3:16,
00:20:27.32\00:20:33.06
"WITHOUT CONTROVERSY, GREAT
IS THE MYSTERY OF GODLINESS.
00:20:33.09\00:20:37.67
GOD WAS MANIFEST IN THE FLESH."
00:20:37.70\00:20:40.47
WHO WAS MANIFEST?
00:20:40.50\00:20:42.34
WHEN JESUS CAME INTO - WHEN GOD
CAME INTO A HUMAN FORM, HOW THAT
00:20:42.37\00:20:48.64
ALL HAPPENED IS A MYSTERY.
00:20:48.68\00:20:50.78
"GOD WAS MANIFEST IN THE FLESH,
JUSTIFIED IN THE SPIRIT" - HE
00:20:50.81\00:20:55.52
LIVED A RIGHTEOUS LIFE - "SEEN
BY ANGELS, PREACHED AMONG THE
00:20:55.55\00:20:59.35
GENTILES, BELIEVED ON IN THE
WORLD, RECEIVED UP INTO GLORY.
00:20:59.39\00:21:04.73
IT WAS GOD THAT
CAME INTO OUR WORLD.
00:21:04.76\00:21:08.53
THIS IS SO - THIS IS SO AMAZING
- AND YOU KNOW WHY HE DID IT?
00:21:08.56\00:21:12.83
BECAUSE HE WANTS US TO
LIVE AND HE WANTS TO BE WITH US
00:21:12.87\00:21:15.74
IN ETERNITY.
00:21:15.77\00:21:17.37
YOU KNOW, IN THE BEGINNING OF
THE BIBLE IT TELLS HOW, THROUGH
00:21:17.41\00:21:19.44
SIN, MAN WAS SEPARATED FROM GOD.
00:21:19.47\00:21:23.58
THEN GOD HAD A
PLAN - HE SENT HIS SON.
00:21:23.61\00:21:26.78
IN THE END OF THE BIBLE IT
SAYS, 'AND GOD, HIMSELF, WILL BE
00:21:26.82\00:21:29.38
WITH THEM.
00:21:29.42\00:21:31.72
THEY'LL CALL HIS NAME
EMMANUEL - GOD WITH US.'
00:21:31.75\00:21:35.82
WE ARE SEPARATED FROM GOD NOW.
00:21:35.86\00:21:38.36
DOES GOD LOVE US LESS THAN ANY
MAN LOVES HIS BRIDE OR A BRIDE
00:21:38.39\00:21:46.40
HER GROOM?
00:21:46.43\00:21:48.54
HOW MUCH DOES HE
WANT TO BE WITH US?
00:21:48.57\00:21:51.21
HE YEARNS FOR IT SO MUCH
THAT HE MADE AN EMERGENCY TRIP
00:21:51.24\00:21:55.98
TO THIS WORLD.
00:21:56.01\00:21:57.15
HE ACTUALLY DECIDED, 'I AM
GOING TO SEPARATE MYSELF FROM MY
00:21:57.18\00:22:02.38
HEAVENLY FATHER AND THE ANGELS
AND GLORY AND MY KINGDOM, COME
00:22:02.42\00:22:06.05
INTO THIS SINFUL DARK WORLD' -
AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW DARK IT
00:22:06.09\00:22:08.69
IS UNLESS YOU'VE SEEN GLORY -
'TO BECOME ONE OF THEM TO SAVE
00:22:08.72\00:22:14.23
THEM SO THAT THEY CAN
BE BACK WITH ME AGAIN.'
00:22:14.30\00:22:17.90
THE WHOLE IDEA IS
THAT WE CAN BE WITH HIM.
00:22:17.93\00:22:19.77
HE WAS WITH US SO
WE CAN BE WITH HIM.
00:22:19.80\00:22:25.91
YOU KNOW, THERE'S AN INTERESTING
STORY - IT ACTUALLY GOES BACK A
00:22:25.94\00:22:29.74
NUMBER OF YEARS - I THINK IT WAS
IN 1991 OR SOMETHING - THAT THIS
00:22:29.78\00:22:34.82
YOUNG LADY, ANISSA AYALA OF LOS
ANGELES, HAD LEUKEMIA AND SHE
00:22:34.85\00:22:42.69
NEEDED A BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT
TO SAVE HER FROM LEUKEMIA.
00:22:42.72\00:22:46.90
NOW HER PARENTS WERE 44 AND 42
AND DAD HAD A LITTLE PROCEDURE
00:22:46.93\00:22:52.97
TO ENSURE THEY WEREN'T
GOING TO HAVE ANY MORE CHILDREN.
00:22:53.00\00:22:56.74
THEIR BROTHER DID NOT HAVE THE
BLOOD TYPE, NEITHER PARENT HAD
00:22:56.77\00:22:59.31
THE BLOOD TYPE FOR A MATCH FOR A
BONE MARROW - HER ONLY CHANCE AT
00:22:59.34\00:23:02.81
LIFE - IT WAS CHRONIC - SHE WAS
GOING TO DIE UNLESS SHE GOT THIS
00:23:02.84\00:23:05.98
BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT.
00:23:06.01\00:23:08.65
SO THE PARENTS, IN DESPERATION,
THEY DID A REAL 'HAIL MARY' -
00:23:08.68\00:23:12.75
PARDON THE PUN - LONG SHOT.
00:23:12.79\00:23:16.52
THE DAD HAD A SURGERY
TO REVERSE HIS VASECTOMY.
00:23:16.56\00:23:21.36
THEY HAD A BABY WITH A LESS THAN
25% CHANCE THAT BABY WOULD HAVE
00:23:21.40\00:23:25.83
THE RIGHT BLOOD TYPE.
00:23:25.87\00:23:28.40
THE BABY DID HAVE THE RIGHT
BLOOD TYPE - THEY GAVE BIRTH TO
00:23:28.44\00:23:31.14
A LITTLE GIRL NAMED MARISSA -
HER OLDER SISTER IS ANISSA - AND
00:23:31.17\00:23:36.34
THEY WAITED UNTIL SHE WAS EIGHT
MONTHS OLD AND THEN THEY DID THE
00:23:36.38\00:23:39.45
BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT AND
IT TOOK AND HER SISTER LIVED AND
00:23:39.48\00:23:44.32
SHE LIVES A VERY
PRODUCTIVE, HEALTHY LIFE.
00:23:44.35\00:23:47.69
THEY BASICALLY HAD A
BABY TO SAVE THEIR DAUGHTER.
00:23:47.72\00:23:51.96
NOW THIS CREATED ALL KINDS OF
MORAL QUESTIONS THAT PEOPLE WERE
00:23:51.99\00:23:55.96
ANALYZING, BUT FOR THE PARENTS
THEY SAID, 'IT WAS NEVER A
00:23:56.00\00:23:59.23
QUESTION FOR US.
00:23:59.27\00:24:00.54
IF IT WAS THE ONLY WAY THAT WE
COULD SAVE OUR DAUGHTER WAS BY
00:24:00.57\00:24:03.37
HAVING A BABY, WE WERE
GOING TO LOVE THEM BOTH.'
00:24:03.41\00:24:07.44
AND SO IT'S INTERESTING,
YOU HEAR THE TWO GIRLS ARE
00:24:07.48\00:24:10.98
VERY CLOSE.
00:24:11.01\00:24:12.25
MATTER OF FACT, THE OLDER ONE
KIND OF MOTHERS THE YOUNGER ONE
00:24:12.28\00:24:14.85
AND SHE SAYS, 'YOU KNOW, IF
IT WASN'T FOR MY YOUNGER SISTER
00:24:14.88\00:24:17.92
I WOULDN'T BE ALIVE.' AND
SHE ALSO SAYS, 'IF IT WASN'T
00:24:17.95\00:24:21.56
FOR ME, SHE WOULDN'T BE ALIVE.'
HAVING A BABY TO GIVE LIFE.
00:24:21.59\00:24:30.43
WELL, YOU KNOW, THAT'S
THE ESSENCE OF THE GOSPEL.
00:24:30.47\00:24:32.87
THE LORD LOVES US SO MUCH THAT
HE GAVE THAT WE MIGHT HAVE NEW
00:24:32.90\00:24:37.67
LIFE AND HE GAVE - THE
BIGGEST THING ANYONE CAN GIVE
00:24:37.71\00:24:41.04
IS THEIR LIFE.
00:24:41.08\00:24:43.41
>>STAY TUNED.

JESUS WROTE HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY
BEFORE HE WAS BORN.
00:25:06.43\00:25:15.34

>>I READ ONE TIME ABOUT A PASTOR
THAT DID SOME RESEARCH AND HE
00:26:54.24\00:26:57.35
CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THERE
ARE OVER 300 REFERENCES TO THE
00:26:57.38\00:27:01.35
SECOND COMING OF
JESUS IN THE BIBLE.
00:27:01.38\00:27:04.29
OBVIOUSLY, IF THE RETURN
OF CHRIST IS SUCH A PRIORITY
00:27:04.32\00:27:06.79
WITH GOD, IT SHOULD
BE AMONG HIS FOLLOWERS.
00:27:06.82\00:27:10.26

COMING, THAT HE'S COMING SOON,
00:27:10.29\00:27:13.76
AND SOMETHING ABOUT HOW HE'S
COMING BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS
00:27:13.80\00:27:16.77
THAT THE DEVIL IS GOING
TO ATTEMPT TO IMPERSONATE
00:27:16.80\00:27:19.40
CHRIST'S RETURN.
