AT THIS TIME OUR LESSON STUDY IS 07:53 BEING BROUGHT TO US BY PASTOR MIKE THOMPSON. 07:55 HE IS OUR HEALTH AND VISITATION PASTOR HERE AT SACRAMENTO 07:58 CENTRAL SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH. 08:02 >>WELCOME TO CENTRAL STUDY HOUR. 08:04 WE HAVE TO DO OUR LITTLE COMMERCIAL FIRST - AND IT'S A 08:06 GOOD ONE, I'M NOT TRYING TO SOUND TRITE. 08:09 BUT IF YOU CONTACT AMAZING FACTS - CALL THE NUMBER 08:12 1-866-STUDY-MORE OR 1-866-788-3966 THEY WILL SEND 08:21 YOU, IN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THIS LESSON 08:27 THAT WAS WRITTEN BY PASTOR DOUG, ACTUALLY. 08:30 IT'S FROM A SET OF LESSONS CALLED 'STORACLES' AND IT'S 08:33 CALLED 'THE SUPREME SACRIFICE'. SO IF YOU SEND TO AMAZING FACTS 08:38 - FREE OFFER #704 - 7 - 0 - 4 - AND YOU'LL PROBABLY GET THAT ON 08:43 THE SCREENS AT THE END OF THE PROGRAM AS WELL. 08:46 SO IT'S LESSON #3 - THERE'S A MEMORY TEXT FROM ROMANS 12:1 AND 08:53 IT SAYS, "THEREFORE, I URGE YOU, BRETHREN, BY THE MERCIES OF GOD, 08:57 TO PRESENT YOUR BODIES A LIVING AND HOLY SACRIFICE, ACCEPTABLE 09:03 TO GOD, WHICH IS YOUR SPIRITUAL SERVICE OF WORSHIP." 09:06 THAT'S FROM THE NASB - YOU'RE PROBABLY USED TO THE KING JAMES, 09:09 WHICH I AM, BUT IT EXPLAINS IT VERY WELL. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT 09:13 THE THEME OF - IT'S SIMPLY CALLED 'SACRIFICES' AND FROM THE 09:17 INTRODUCTORY PAGE OF THE LESSON - LESSON 3 - WE READ, 'CENTRAL 09:22 TO THE ENTIRE GOSPEL IS THE CONCEPT OF SACRIFICE. 09:27 AND NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE IT SAYS, 'THIS WEEK WE LOOK AT 09:31 SOME OF THE SACRIFICES THAT BELIEVERS HAVE OFFERED TO GOD. 09:35 WE WILL DISCOVER THAT GOD HAS ALWAYS BEEN CALLING FOR 09:38 SACRIFICES AND HE IS STILL DOING SO TODAY. 09:44 OF COURSE, THE MOST IMPORTANT - GOD PROVIDED THE ULTIMATE 09:48 SACRIFICE - THAT OF HIMSELF IN THE PERSON OF JESUS CHRIST, HIS 09:54 OWN SON.' SO I'M GOING STRAIGHT TO SUNDAY. 09:58 WE'RE DEALING HERE WITH THE FIRST SACRIFICE. 10:02 NOW, WE KNOW WHEN ADAM AND EVE SINNED, GOD IMMEDIATELY 10:05 DEMONSTRATED HIS UNWAVERING HATRED OF SIN. 10:11 WHEN, IN THE EXERCISE OF HIS UNWAVERING JUSTICE, HE 10:15 PRONOUNCED JUDGMENT UPON THE FALLEN PAIR AND ULTIMATELY 10:19 EXPELLED THEM FROM THEIR EDEN HOME. 10:24 GOD TOLD THEM IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS THAT THEY WOULD REAP THE 10:27 ULTIMATE CONSEQUENCES OF DEATH IN RETURN FOR THEIR 10:31 DISOBEDIENCE. SIN COMES WITH A HEAVY 10:35 PRICE TAG. GENESIS 3, VERSE 3 WHEN EVE WAS 10:42 PARLAYING HERE WITH THE SERPENT AROUND THE TREE - SHE KNEW. 10:46 THIS IS WHAT SHE SAID TO THE SERPENT, SHE SAID, "BUT OF THE 10:50 FRUIT OF THE TREE WHICH IS IN THE MIDST OF THE GARDEN, GOD 10:54 HATH SAID, 'YE SHALL NOT EAT OF IT, NEITHER SHALL YE TOUCH IT, 10:58 LEST YE DIE.'" WELL, HE SAID, 'DON'T EAT' - 11:01 BUT NONETHELESS, SHE HAD IT RIGHT. SO SHE KNEW. 11:04 AND SHE PARLAYED WITH HIM AND HE SAID, 'YOU KNOW, GOD DOESN'T 11:07 MEAN THAT. YOU WON'T DIE. 11:09 IN FACT, GOD'S HIDING SOMETHING FROM YOU. 11:11 IF YOU EAT THIS IT WILL OPEN YOUR EYES. 11:13 YOU'LL BE AS GODS. YOU'LL BE ABLE TO DISCERN 11:15 BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL AND THAT SOUNDED KIND OF FASCINATING AND 11:19 SO, IF YOU LIKE, SHE TOOK THE BAIT. BUT IN VERSE 19 11:23 THERE WERE THE CONSEQUENCES AND GOD SPELLED THEM OUT. 11:27 GOD TURNED AROUND AND SAID TO ADAM AND EVE HE SAID, 'IN THE 11:31 SWEAT OF THY FACE SHALT THOU EAT BREAD, TILL THOU RETURN UNTO THE 11:37 GROUND; FOR OUT OF IT WAST THOU TAKEN: FOR DUST THOU ART, AND 11:44 UNTO DUST SHALT THOU RETURN." BELOVED, GOD SAYS WHAT HE MEANS 11:53 AND HE MEANS WHAT HE SAYS. LET US NEVER FORGET THAT. 11:59 BUT IN SPITE OF LOSING THEIR EDEN HOME, WHICH THEY DID, FOR 12:04 SOME REASON ADAM AND EVE WERE NOT IMMEDIATELY KIND OF SNUFFED 12:08 OUT OF EXISTENCE. THEY CARRIED ON LIVING BEYOND 12:12 THAT FATEFUL DAY. THE BIBLE TELLS US, ACTUALLY, 12:14 ADAM DIDN'T DIE UNTIL HE WAS 930 YEARS OLD. WHY? 12:20 WELL, WE KNOW WHY - OR WE SHOULD KNOW WHY. 12:23 YOU SEE, AT THE SAME TIME AS GOD EXERCISES UNWAVERING JUSTICE, 12:29 GOD WILL NEVER CHANGE HIS LAW OR BEND HIS LAW - IT'S THE 12:33 FOUNDATION OF HIS THRONE - HIS GOVERNMENT. 12:36 HE WILL NOT CHANGE IT ONE IOTA. IF THE LAW COULD SPEAK - IF WE 12:41 COULD STAND BEFORE THE ARK OF THE COVENANT THIS MORNING AND 12:46 THE LAW COULD SPEAK, AS IT WERE, YOU WOULD HEAR THAT LAW SAYING, 12:51 'YOU BREAK ME, YOU MUST DIE.' CAN'T BEND THE RULES ONE BIT AND 12:57 SHOULD NOT FOR THE STABILITY OF THE UNIVERSE. BUT STILL, AS GOD 13:01 EXERCISED HIS UNWAVERING JUSTICE, HE ALSO EXERCISED HIS 13:07 UNWAVERING MERCY AND EXERCISED IT TOWARD THE GUILTY PAIR. 13:13 FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE, 13:19 SOMETHING HAPPENED WHICH WAS CALLED A SACRIFICE. 13:27 ANGELS HAD NEVER HEARD OF SACRIFICES. 13:30 NONE OF THE INTELLIGENCES OF OTHER WORLDS HAD HEARD OF 13:33 SACRIFICES - OF BLOOD SACRIFICES. 13:36 AND THE BIBLE CLEARLY IMPLIES THAT THERE WAS 13:38 A BLOOD SACRIFICE. YOU KNOW, ADAM AND EVE WERE 13:42 COVERED WITH SKINS. THOSE SKINS DIDN'T GROW ON 13:45 TREES. THEY ACTUALLY COVERED BEINGS AND THOSE SKINS HAD TO BE 13:50 CUT OFF AND PLACED UPON THE GUILTY PAIR. 13:53 BUT NONETHELESS, THERE WAS SOMETHING CALLED A SACRIFICE 13:57 THAT WAS MADE AND WHAT HAPPENED? 14:01 IT MEANT THAT GOD TOOK AN INNOCENT CREATURE AND ACCOUNTED 14:05 IT GUILTY IN THE STEAD OF ADAM AND EVE. AND THIS INNOCENT 14:12 CREATURE ASSUMED THE ROLE OF THEIR SIN-BEARER - INNOCENT AND 14:18 SINLESS AS IT WAS, IT RECEIVED THE STROKE OF DEATH IN THEIR 14:23 BEHALF THAT THEY MIGHT LIVE. AND THROUGH THIS MYSTERIOUS - 14:28 AND IT WAS - IT WAS A MYSTERIOUS EVENT. THROUGH THIS MYSTERIOUS 14:33 AND WONDROUS EVENT ADAM AND EVE AND EVERY OTHER INTELLIGENCE IN 14:39 THE UNIVERSE WAS GIVEN A GLIMPSE OF THE MESSIAH - THE PROMISED 14:45 ONE - THE PURE AND INNOCENT SON OF GOD WHO WAS TO COME. 14:51 NOT ONLY BECOME THE SIN-BEARER OF THE GUILTY RACE AND OFFER UP 14:57 HIS LIFE AS AN ATONEMENT FOR THE HUMAN RACE - AS A SUBSTITUTE AND 15:02 SURETY - BUT ALSO FOR THE SAKE OF THE WHOLE UNIVERSE IT WAS 15:07 NECESSARY THAT THERE BE A REDEEMER. 15:12 WE KNOW THAT GOD HAS QUARANTINED SIN DOWN TO THIS LITTLE WORLD OF 15:17 OURS AND IN WISDOM HE'S DONE THAT, BUT WHAT HAPPENS HERE 15:22 AFFECTS THE WHOLE BOUNDLESS UNIVERSE. 15:26 SO ANGELS WERE INTERESTED THEN. THE SONS OF GOD FROM UNFALLEN 15:31 WORLDS WERE INTENSELY INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED THEN AND 15:35 THEY'RE JUST AS INTENSELY INTERESTED NOW BECAUSE BEFORE 15:40 THEIR EYES IT'S PLAYING OUT - THIS THEME THAT WE, AS SEVENTH 15:45 DAY ADVENTISTS, ARE KNOWN FOR. BUT I WONDER, DO YOU REALLY 15:48 UNDERSTAND IT? CALLED THE GREAT CONTROVERSY. 15:52 IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE GREAT CONTROVERSY THEME, YOU'LL 15:56 NEVER UNDERSTAND THE THIRD ANGEL'S MESSAGE. 16:00 AND IF YOU - ALRIGHT, I'M GOING TO JUST SAY IT - IF YOU'RE A 16:04 LIBERAL AND YOU TAKE THIS BOOK AND YOU ALLEGORIZE IT ALL THE 16:10 WAY, YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THE GREAT CONTROVERSY THEME, 16:14 WHAT'S MORE, YOU WILL HAVE NO NEED OF IT. THEREFORE, THE THIRD 16:17 ANGEL'S MESSAGE WILL ALWAYS BE IRRELEVANT AND ALWAYS WILL BE. 16:22 AND THE SAVING GRACE THAT IT POINTS US TO THROUGH CHRIST OUR 16:26 GREAT HIGH PRIEST IN THE HEAVENLY SANCTUARY WHERE HE WENT 16:29 IN 1844 ADMINISTERS NOW FOR HIS PEOPLE, IT WILL MEAN NOTHING TO 16:35 YOU, THEREFORE, IT - WELL, YOU'LL BE DONE, YOU KNOW. 16:42 YOU'LL BE DONE. SO LET US UNDERSTAND THE GREAT 16:47 CONTROVERSY THEME, BELOVED. THERE'S TOO MUCH AT STAKE HERE. 16:52 AND SO THIS - THIS IS WHAT WAS - THE ANGELS HAD SEEN THE GREAT 16:55 CONTROVERSY BEGIN IN HEAVEN AND IT STILL WASN'T TOO CLEAR. 16:59 THE DEVIL HAD TAKEN A THIRD OF THEIR FELLOW ANGELS AND THOSE 17:03 WHO REMAINED BEHIND, THEY STILL WONDERED ABOUT THIS THING. 17:06 BUT GOD, IN SYMBOLISM THERE IN EDEN SAYS, 'LOOK, THERE'S A 17:12 SIN-BEARER COMING AND YOU JUST WATCH AND YOU WILL SEE, IN THE 17:15 GREAT CONTROVERSY, THROUGH THE SACRIFICIAL SYSTEM, 17:20 WHO IS RIGHT AND WHO IS WRONG. 17:24 WHO TRULY IS A GOOD GOD - A GOOD BEING - AND TRULY THE ONE WHO 17:29 WANTS TO BE THE GOD OF THIS WORLD AND THIS UNIVERSE IS AN 17:32 IMPOSTER, BUT WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL WE GET TO THE CROSS. 17:36 BUT NONETHELESS, IT WAS PREFIGURED, THIS WHOLE THING. 17:41 AND SO THIS INNOCENT ANIMAL, PREFIGURING CHRIST, WAS OFFERED. 17:46 HIS DEATH WOULD BE IN PLACE OF THEIRS AND THAT APPLIES TO US ON 17:54 CONDITION THAT WE, AS THEY, ACCEPT CHRIST AS SAVIOR AND 18:00 COMPLY WITH THE PURPOSES THROUGH WHICH HE FREELY PROVIDES 18:04 SALVATION. IT'S A FREE GIFT BUT THERE ARE CONDITIONS. 18:11 THERE ARE VERY CLEAR CONDITIONS AND LET US NOT BE LIKE THOSE WHO 18:15 SAY, 'WELL, YOU KNOW, GOD LOVES ME.' YES HE DOES. 18:19 PRAISE GOD FOR THAT. 'AND GOD'LL MEET ME WHERE I AM 18:23 BECAUSE HE'S A LOVING GOD.' HE WILL. PRAISE GOD FOR THAT. 18:27 BUT GOD'S A RIGHTEOUS GOD AND IT'S HIS PURPOSE TO MEET YOU 18:30 WHERE YOU ARE BUT NOT LEAVE YOU THERE AND PARLAY WITH YOUR SINS. 18:33 IT'S HIS PURPOSE TO TAKE YOU FROM THAT POINT AND SANCTIFY YOU 18:37 AND HE WILL DO THAT IF YOU BELIEVE IN THE THIRD ANGEL'S 18:40 MESSAGE AND JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR GREAT HIGH PRIEST IN THE 18:44 HEAVENLY SANCTUARY. HE WILL FULFILL THAT PURPOSE AND WHEN HE 18:47 COMES IN GLORY YOU WILL BE LIKE HIM, MORALLY, IN CHARACTER. 18:53 SO, HE PROVIDES SALVATION. IT'S FREE BUT THERE ARE CONDITIONS. 19:02 AND WHILE THE GUILTY PAIR WERE SUDDENLY AWARE OF THEIR 19:06 NAKEDNESS, AFTER TRANSGRESSING GOD'S WILL - AND THEY WERE - 19:11 WE'RE TOLD IN THE 'SPIRIT OF PROPHECY' THAT GOD CLOTHED THEM 19:14 IN GARMENTS OF LIGHT AND WHEN THEY SINNED IT WAS ALL GONE SO 19:20 THEY RAN OFF TO TRY AND FIND SOMETHING TO COVER. 19:22 FOR THE FIRST TIME, THIS STRANGE THING CALLED SIN, WHICH SEEMED 19:26 SO INFATUATING, SUDDENLY THEY'RE FEELING UNCOMFORTABLE WITH IT. 19:30 AND SO GOD - GOD HELPED THEM. 19:33 IT SAYS IN GENESIS 3:21, "UNTO ADAM ALSO AND TO HIS WIFE DID 19:39 THE LORD GOD MAKE COATS OF SKINS, AND CLOTHED THEM." 19:44 NOW, WHILE GOD PHYSICALLY COVERED THEIR NAKEDNESS, THIS 19:48 ACT WAS A SYMBOL OF HIS MERCY IN COVERING THEIR SIN AND THEIR 19:54 MORAL NAKEDNESS - THEIR MORAL WRETCHEDNESS. YOU KNOW, 19:57 IN THE MESSAGE TO LAODICEA WHAT DOES JESUS TELL US? HE SAYS, 20:01 'YOU'RE NAKED.' HE SAYS, 'YOU DON'T HAVE ANY CLOTHES ON. 20:03 YOU DON'T HAVE A ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND IT'S THE HOUR 20:07 OF GOD'S JUDGMENT.' HE SAYS, 'YOU'RE NAKED.' 20:11 HE SAYS, 'I COUNSEL YOU TO BUY OF ME WHITE LINEN THAT YOU MIGHT 20:15 BE COVERED.' AND THIS IS WHAT THIS REPRESENTED HERE. 20:20 PRAISE GOD FOR THAT. BUT AGAIN, AS I SAY, THE SKINS 20:24 OF THESE INNOCENT ANIMALS, OBVIOUSLY SACRIFICED TO PROVIDE 20:28 SUCH A COVERING, REPRESENTED THE ROBES OF JESUS' RIGHTEOUSNESS. 20:36 BUT THE PROMISE OF THE REDEEMER TO COME AS GIVEN IN GENESIS 3:15 20:43 - IT'S GIVEN THERE - WE'LL READ SOME OF IT. 20:45 WELL, LET'S READ IT - GENESIS 3:15 - WE SHOULD DO THIS - 20:49 GENESIS 3:15, THE PROMISE OF THE REDEEMER. 20:53 GOD SAYS, "AND I WILL PUT ENMITY" - SPEAKING TO THE 20:56 SERPENT HERE - HE SAYS, "AND I'LL PUT ENMITY BETWEEN THEE AND 21:00 THE WOMAN, AND BETWEEN THY SEED AND HER SEED; IT" - THAT IS, 21:07 GOD'S SEED THAT WAS CHRIST TO COME, IT SAYS - "HE SHALL BRUISE 21:10 THY HEAD, AND THOU SHALT BRUISE HIS HEEL." 21:16 AND SO, THIS PROMISE OF THE SIN-BEARER WAS GIVEN THAT HE 21:22 WOULD COME TO DIE FOR THEIR INIQUITY - TO PAY THE PRICE FOR 21:25 THEIR TRANSGRESSION AND SINS SO THEY COULD BE ACCOUNTED 21:27 RIGHTEOUS AND NO LONGER CONDEMNED IN GOD'S EYES. 21:32 BUT IN HERE THE PROMISE WAS ALSO GIVEN THAT GOD WOULD PROVIDE 21:36 GRACE, THROUGH THE SEED, AND STRENGTH TO DELIVER THEM FROM 21:41 THE POWER OF SIN AND SATAN WHO HOPED TO KEEP THEM FOREVER 21:45 ENSLAVED AND ENTANGLED IN THE SHACKLES OF INIQUITY. 21:50 AND THIS IS WHY GOD SAID, 'I WILL PUT ENMITY' - SPEAKING TO - 21:54 'I WILL PUT ENMITY BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN AND THE 21:59 CHILDREN OF THE SEED.' NOW, THERE'S A BOOK CALLED 'THE 22:02 SANCTUARY SERVICE' - IT'S BEEN OUT A LONG TIME - BY M.L. 22:07 ANDREASEN. HE WAS ONE OF THE BEST 22:10 THEOLOGIANS THAT THE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH HAS EVER HAD. 22:15 AND YOU CAN STILL GET IT - I THINK IT'S - I THINK TEACH 22:19 SERVICES MIGHT BE REPRINTING IT, BUT GO TO THE ABC IF YOU DON'T 22:21 HAVE IT. IT'S CALLED 'THE SANCTUARY SERVICE' BY M.L. 22:24 ANDREASEN AND HE WRITES SOME VERY INTERESTING THINGS. 22:30 AND I WANT TO PICK UP ON A COMMENT THAT HE HAS GIVEN HERE 22:34 IN HIS BOOK - PAGES 15 AND 16, I THINK, ABOUT GOD PUTTING ENMITY 22:44 BETWEEN SATAN - BETWEEN GOD'S - CHRIST'S CHILDREN AND SATAN. 22:51 LET ME JUST READ IT. 22:53 IT SAYS, "A PARAPHRASE OF THIS TEXT," - 'I WILL PUT ENMITY 22:57 BETWEEN THY SEED' AND SO ON - "A PARAPHRASE OF THIS TEXT, WITHOUT 23:01 DOING VIOLENCE TO THE MEANING, WOULD READ, 'I WILL PUT HATRED 23:04 OF SIN INTO YOUR HEART.' THAT'S WHAT GOD MEANT. 23:08 HE SAID, 'I WILL PUT HATRED OF SIN INTO THE HEARTS OF ADAM AND 23:13 EVE AND THEIR OFFSPRING - THOSE WHO TRUST IN THE SEED THAT IS TO 23:16 COME. ARE YOU GLAD FOR THAT, BY THE WAY? 23:19 I'M GLAD FOR THAT BECAUSE IN MY NATURAL STATE DO I HATE SIN? 23:23 NOT FOR A MINUTE. IN MY NATURAL STATE - I'LL COME 23:26 CLEAN - I LOVE THE STUFF. I HAVE A FALLEN NATURE LIKE 23:29 ANYBODY ELSE, YES. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? 23:36 I'M LEARNING TO HATE IT. I THANK GOD FOR THAT. 23:40 BECAUSE OF THIS - "THIS WAS A DISTINCT PROMISE OF PRESENT HELP 23:48 TO ADAM. GOD WOULD HELP HIM RESIST AND 23:51 CONQUER SIN BY PLACING ENMITY TO IT IN HIS HEART." AND HE 23:57 CONTINUES HERE, "HATRED OF SIN IS VITAL TO FULL SALVATION. 24:03 HUMANLY SPEAKING, NO MAN IS SAFE UNTIL HE HAS LEARNED TO HATE SIN 24:09 AS DEEPLY AS HE FORMERLY LOVED IT." NOW LISTEN TO THIS. 24:14 HE REALLY WROTE THIS WELL. HE SAID, "HE MAY RESIST SIN. 24:20 HE MAY EVEN FLEE FROM IT. BUT AS LONG AS THERE IS A 24:24 LINGERING LOVE OF SIN IN THE HEART, HE IS NOT ON SAFE GROUND. 24:29 A LOVE OF GOOD IS VITAL. SO, ALSO, IS HATRED OF EVIL. 24:35 IT MAY TRULY BE SAID THAT OUR CAPACITY FOR LOVE OF THE GOOD IS 24:40 MEASURED IN BALANCE BY OUR CAPACITY FOR LOVE - 24:44 OR FOR HATRED OF EVIL." SOME TIME, I DON'T KNOW, TWO OR 24:49 THREE YEARS AGO, I DID A SERMON UP HERE CALLED 'SCEPTER OF 24:52 RIGHTEOUSNESS' AND THERE'S A POWERFUL PASSAGE THERE IN 24:56 HEBREWS CHAPTER 1, HEBREWS 1:9, AND HE QUOTES THIS. 25:02 HE SAID, "OF CHRIST IT IS SAID, 'THOU HAST LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS 25:07 AND HATED INIQUITY" - THIS IS SPEAKING OF JESUS - "THOU HAST 25:11 LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HATED INIQUITY. 25:14 THEREFORE GOD, EVEN THY GOD, HAS ANOINTED THEE WITH THE OIL OF 25:18 GLADNESS ABOVE THY FELLOWS. IN CHRIST LOVE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS 25:23 WAS ACCOMPANIED BY A HATRED OF EVIL." 25:27 NOW LISTEN, LET'S NOT GET THIS WRONG HERE, IN HIS FLESH JESUS 25:32 COULD BE TEMPTED JUST LIKE ANY ONE OF US. 25:36 IN FACT, THE DEVIL KNEW - THE DEVIL KNOWS THE HUMAN PSYCHE - 25:39 HE KNOWS WE HAVE FALLEN NATURES AND SATAN UNDERSTOOD THAT HE HAD 25:43 TO TAKE JESUS DOWN AND HE KNEW HE HAD A NATURE LIKE US - AND SO 25:47 YOU CAN BE SURE - IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN WORKED OVER BY THE DEVIL, 25:51 YOU CAN BE SURE HE TRIED TO WORK JESUS OVER MANY TIMES BY 25:55 PRODDING HIM WHERE HE KNEW THERE WERE THE RAW INGREDIENTS IN HIS 25:58 FALLEN NATURE WHERE THERE COULD BE THAT FORMULA WHERE HE REACHED 26:01 CRITICAL MASS AND HE SINNED. I'M SAYING THIS ON CAMERA AND 26:04 YOU CAN E-MAIL ME IF YOU WANT, BUT JESUS COULD HAVE SINNED. 26:07 THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT. BUT HE DIDN'T, PRAISE GOD. 26:15 BUT HE COULD HAVE SINNED. BUT HE DIDN'T. WHY? 26:19 BECAUSE FALLEN NATURE OR NOT, FOR ALL HIS FLESH WOULD CRY OUT, 26:24 HE REALIZED HE HAD TO LIVE ABOVE THE DESIRES AND CLAMORS OF THE 26:28 FALLEN FLESH. HE HAD TO LIVE ON A DIFFERENT PLANE. AND HE DID. 26:31 AND WE CAN DO THE SAME. HE WASN'T A LESSER GOD WITH 26:37 ADVANTAGES OVER US, SERVING A HIGHER GOD. 26:40 IN HIS HUMANITY HE WAS LIKE US. BUT HE DIDN'T CHERISH IT, EVEN 26:44 THOUGH IT TRIED TO PULL HIM DOWN. 26:46 HE LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HE HATED INIQUITY. 26:52 AND IT SAYS HERE, 'IN CHRIST, LOVE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WAS 26:56 ACCOMPANIED BY HATRED OF EVIL. BECAUSE OF THESE TWO ATTRIBUTES, 27:02 HE WAS ANOINTED FOR HIS WORK BY GOD.' 27:07 AND WE CAN BE ANOINTED FOR OUR WORK AS WELL. 27:10 HAS HE CALLED US TO DO A WORK? THEN IF HE'S CALLED US TO DO A 27:14 WORK AS HE DID - TO DO IT - LOVING 27:17 RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HATING INIQUITY, THEN WILL HE 27:19 QUALIFY US? WILL HE IMPLANT WITHIN US THAT 27:21 SAME LOVE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WITH A PASSION AND AT THE OTHER SIDE 27:25 OF THE COIN THAT SAME PASSION AND HATRED AGAINST EVIL. 27:28 WILL HE DO THAT FOR US? HE WILL. 'THIS COMBINATION OF LOVE AND 27:34 HATRED MUST BE IN EVERY CHRISTIAN. 27:37 THEY ARE FUNDAMENTAL IN CHRISTIANITY. 27:40 IT'S SIGNIFICANT THAT THE FIRST PROMISE OF A SAVIOR IN THE BIBLE 27:44 IS PREFACED BY THE PROMISE OF GOD'S HELP IN CONQUERING SIN BY 27:48 GIVING MAN A CAPACITY FOR HATRED OF EVIL. 27:52 THIS HATRED IS A GREAT FACTOR IN OUR STRUGGLE WITH EVIL AND OUR 27:56 EVENTUAL VICTORY OVER IT. WERE IT NOT FOR THE FACT THAT 28:00 GOD IMPLANTS IN THE HEART OF EVERY 28:02 CHRISTIAN A HATRED OF EVIL AS WELL AS A LOVE FOR 28:06 RIGHTEOUSNESS' - HE SAYS HERE - 'THERE WOULD BE LITTLE HOPE FOR 28:11 US.' BUT PRAISE GOD. WE'VE GOT A BIG HOPE, FRIENDS. 28:21 AND THAT HOPE AND THAT PROMISE WAS GIVEN RIGHT THERE IN THAT 28:25 DISMAL SCENE WHERE IT LOOKED LIKE THE DEVIL WAS RUBBING HIS 28:29 HANDS, 'I GOT HIM! I GOT HIM! I GOT HIM!' 28:32 AND GOD EXERCISED JUSTICE BUT HE SAID, 'YOU KNOW WHAT? 28:38 I'M GOING TO SEND YOU A SAVIOR WHO'LL NOT ONLY REDEEM YOU FROM 28:43 YOUR FAILURE AND PAY THE PRICE FOR YOUR SIN, BUT THAT SAVIOR IS 28:49 GOING TO DO SOMETHING IN YOUR LIFE AND IN YOUR HEART, IF YOU 28:52 WILL LET HIM IN, THAT WILL CHANGE YOU. AND THE STUFF THAT 28:56 YOU MAY HAVE LOVED, YOU'RE GOING TO HATE IT WITH A PASSION 29:00 AND WHAT YOU DON'T LIKE YOU STAY AWAY FROM, RIGHT? 29:03 AND GOD IS GOING TO HAVE A GENERATION OF CHILDREN WHO HATE 29:06 SIN SO MUCH THEY'RE GOING TO STAY AWAY FROM IT. 29:09 AND THEY WILL BE THE ONES WHEN JESUS SAYS, IN THE SANCTUARY, 29:12 'IT IS FINISHED.' AND HE THROWS DOWN THAT CENSER 29:15 AND IF YOU COULD BE THERE IN THE MOST HOLY PLACE - TRY AND 29:18 IMAGINE - DO YOU HEAR THAT CENSER? 29:20 IT'S ALL QUIET - OMINOUSLY YOU HEAR THIS CENSER ROLLING ACROSS 29:23 THE FLOOR - CLUNK, CLUNK, CLUNK, CLUNK, CLUNK, 29:25 CLUNK...CLUNK...CLUNK - THOSE FEW COALS JUST COME OUT AND THE 29:31 LAST BIT OF INCENSE OF GOD'S MERCY ARISES AND IT'S GONE. 29:35 FROM THAT MOMENT ON, PROBATION IS CLOSED. 29:39 BUT THERE WILL BE THOSE WHO WILL STAND AT THAT TIME, BEFORE A 29:45 HOLY GOD, WITHOUT A MEDIATOR BECAUSE IN THE SIMPLE FAITH OF 29:51 LITTLE CHILDREN THEY ACCEPTED THE PROMISE THAT THE SEED WOULD 29:57 COME AND MAKE THEM LOVERS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND INTENSE HATERS 30:03 OF EVIL. WE HAVE TO MOVE ON. MONDAY, 'TYPES OF OFFERINGS'. 30:11 YOU SEE THERE IT MENTIONS DIFFERENT TYPES OF OFFERINGS. 30:15 WE'VE GOT BURNT OFFERINGS, WE'VE GOT GRAIN OFFERINGS - I'M MOVING 30:18 QUICKLY HERE - PEACE OFFERINGS, PURIFICATION OFFERINGS, TRESPASS 30:22 OFFERINGS - EVERY ONE WAS PREGNANT WITH MEANING. 30:26 BUT WHAT I WANT TO DO THIS MORNING IS - THERE'S SO MUCH WE 30:31 COULD SAY ABOUT EACH ONE OF THESE OFFERINGS - THESE VARIOUS 30:34 TYPES OF OFFERINGS - BUT I'VE DECIDED TO FOCUS, THIS MORNING, 30:37 ON THE BURNT OFFERING. BECAUSE IT, KIND OF, IS 30:43 INTERLACED IN SO MANY OF THE OTHER OFFERINGS THAT WERE 30:45 PRESENTED IN THE SANCTUARY. AND IN HIS BOOK - AGAIN - 30:49 'THE SANCTUARY SERVICE' - YOU'VE GOT TO GET THAT BOOK. 30:52 YOU'VE REALLY GOT TO GET THAT BOOK. 30:53 I WAS LOOKING FOR ANOTHER BOOK THIS WEEK AND I COULDN'T 30:55 LAY MY HANDS ON IT. IT'S CALLED 'WITH JESUS IN THE 30:57 SANCTUARY' BY LESLIE HARDINGE AND I COULDN'T FIND IT. 31:02 IT'S SOMEWHERE IN THE HOUSE. I'LL FIND IT NOW. 31:04 I WAS BLAMING MY SON-IN-LAW. I SAID, 'ERIC, HAVE YOU BORROWED 31:06 MY BOOK?' AND HE SAID, 'NO.' BUT ANYWAY, IF YOU HAVE THAT 31:10 BOOK AS WELL, YOU'VE GOT TO STUDY THE SANCTUARY. 31:13 THAT'S WHERE IT'S AT. SO GETTING BACK TO ANDREASEN'S 31:19 BOOK - I WANT TO READ ON PAGE 89 ABOUT BURNT OFFERINGS. 31:23 WE READ THIS: "BURNT OFFERINGS WERE THE MOST CHARACTERISTIC OF 31:27 ALL OFFERINGS, CONTAINING AS THEY DID THE ESSENTIAL QUALITIES 31:32 OF THE OTHER SACRIFICES." OKAY, AND THEN WE GO TO PAGE 90. 31:38 HE SAYS, "BURNT OFFERINGS WERE USED ON MANY OCCASIONS, SUCH AS 31:41 THE CLEANSING OF LEPERS" - AND HE GIVES REFERENCES HERE SUCH AS 31:44 LEVITICUS 14 - "THE CLEANSING OF WOMEN AFTER CHILDBIRTH" - YOU 31:48 FIND THAT IN LEVITICUS 12 - "AND ALSO FOR CEREMONIAL DEFILEMENT" 31:52 - YOU FIND THAT IN LEVITICUS 15. HE SAYS, "IN THESE CASES A SIN 31:56 OFFERING WAS USED, AS WELL AS A BURNT OFFERING. THE FIRST 32:01 OFFERING, THE SIN OFFERING, ATONED FOR SIN. THE SECOND" 32:04 - AND, BY THE WAY, A BURNT OFFERING WAS ALWAYS VOLUNTARY. 32:08 IT WAS A VOLUNTARY OFFERING WHEN IT WAS MIXED WITH THE SIN 32:12 OFFERING - IT WAS KIND OF REQUIRED BUT, NONETHELESS, MANY 32:15 TIMES IT WAS OFFERED AS A VOLUNTARY OFFERING. 32:18 THAT'S WHY IT MEANS SO MUCH TO GOD. 32:21 "THE SECOND - THE BURNT OFFERING - SHOWED THE OFFENDER'S ATTITUDE 32:25 TOWARD GOD IN WHOLEHEARTED CONSECRATION." 32:29 SO WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT HERE WITH BURNT OFFERINGS? 32:32 WE'RE LOOKING AT THE ISSUE OF THE OFFENDER'S ATTITUDE TOWARD 32:36 GOD IN WHOLEHEARTED CONSECRATION. 32:41 THE BURNT OFFERING WAS PROMINENT IN THE CONSECRATION OF AARON AND 32:45 HIS SONS." - WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THAT IN A MINUTE - 32:48 "AS WELL AS THEIR INDUCTION INTO THE MINISTRY. IT WAS ALSO USED 32:53 IN CONNECTION WITH A NAZARITE VOW" - NUMBERS CHAPTER 6 - 32:57 "IN ALL THESE INSTANCES IT STOOD FOR COMPLETE CONSECRATION OF THE 33:02 INDIVIDUAL TO GOD." - AGAIN WE FIND THAT. THIS IS WHAT THE 33:06 BURNT OFFERING WAS. - "THE OFFERER PLACED HIMSELF 33:11 SYMBOLICALLY ON THE ALTAR, HIS LIFE WHOLLY DEVOTED TO GOD." 33:20 NOW, GENESIS CHAPTER 29 - I WANT TO GO THERE BECAUSE HERE, AS YOU 33:28 READ IN ANDREASEN'S BOOK, 'THE BURNT OFFERING WAS PROMINENT IN 33:31 THE CONSECRATION OF AARON AND HIS SONS INTO THE MINISTRY.' 33:37 NOW, I'M GOING TO RELIEVE YOU TO READ ALL OF CHAPTER 29 YOURSELF 33:42 IN YOUR OWN TIME. 33:43 I'M GOING TO REFER TO IT, BUT AS YOU READ THROUGH CHAPTER - I'M 33:47 HAVING TO DO THIS BECAUSE WE'VE GOT SO MUCH THIS MORNING. 33:49 I HATE TO DO IT, BUT AS YOU READ THROUGH CHAPTER 29, WHEN IT CAME 33:54 TO THE CONSECRATION OF AARON AND HIS SONS AND THE DEDICATION - 33:57 THE CONSECRATION OF THE SANCTUARY SO IT COULD BE MADE 34:02 EFFECTIVE AS A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE COULD COME - WHERE IT 34:04 COULD BE EFFECTIVE AS A TEMPLE, A TOTAL OF ONE BULLOCK AND TWO 34:10 RAMS WERE ULTIMATELY OFFERED. THE CONSECRATION OF THE BUILDING 34:14 AND THE DEDICATION OF AARON AND HIS SONS. 34:17 'FIRST THE BULLOCK WAS SLAIN AND THEN ONE OF THE RAMS' - YOU CAN 34:21 READ ABOUT THAT - BUT THE SECOND RAM, WHICH WAS THE LAST 34:24 OFFERING, IT WAS CALLED 'THE RAM OF DEDICATION' AND NOW I'M 34:30 ACTUALLY GOING TO TURN THERE - EXODUS 29 - IT'S CALLED 'THE RAM 34:36 OF CONSECRATION' AND YOU'LL SEE IT CALLED SUCH AT THE END OF 34:42 VERSE 22 - RIGHT AT THE VERY END. ACTUALLY, NO - 34:47 I'M GOING TO GO A BIT BEFORE THAT. I'M GOING - WE'RE LOOKING 34:49 IN EXODUS 29 - DID I GIVE YOU THAT RIGHT? EXODUS 29? OKAY. 34:53 EXODUS 29, VERSE 19 - IT SAYS, "AND THOU SHALT TAKE THE OTHER 35:01 RAM;" - THIS IS GOD GIVING MOSES THE INSTRUCTIONS TO TELL AARON 35:05 WHAT TO DO - "THOU SHALT TAKE THE OTHER RAM;" - SECOND ONE - 35:08 "AND AARON AND HIS SONS SHALL PUT THEIR HANDS UPON THE HEAD OF 35:14 THE RAM." OKAY - AND VERSE 20 - I WANT TO LOOK AT THAT NOW. 35:22 IT SAYS, "THEN SHALT THOU KILL THE RAM, AND TAKE OF HIS BLOOD, 35:30 AND PUT IT UPON THE TIP OF THE RIGHT EAR OF AARON AND UPON THE 35:36 TIP OF THE RIGHT EAR OF HIS SONS, AND UPON THE THUMB OF 35:40 THEIR RIGHT HAND, AND UPON THE GREAT TOE OF THEIR RIGHT FOOT, 35:46 AND SPRINKLE THE BLOOD UPON THE ALTAR ROUND ABOUT." OKAY. 35:53 THAT'S WHAT IT TELLS US THERE IN VERSE 20. NOW THIS - 36:00 THIS RAM OF DEDICATION - PART OF IT WAS BURNED. 36:05 SOME OF IT WAS KEPT BACK, LIKE THE SHOULDER. 36:08 THAT WAS - YOU READ IN THE CHAPTER - YOU CAN READ IT 36:10 YOURSELF - THAT WAS COOKED. THEY BOILED IT IN WATER AND 36:14 AARON AND HIS SONS WERE ABLE TO EAT SOME OF THAT ALONG WITH SOME 36:17 BREAD AND WAFER - PART OF THE CONSECRATION PROCESS. 36:24 BUT IT SAYS HERE, 'WHATEVER WAS LEFT OVER 'TIL THE NEXT DAY HAD 36:29 TO BE CONSUMED BECAUSE IT WAS HOLY.' EXODUS 29:34, "AND IF 36:33 OUGHT OF THE FLESH OF THE CONSECRATIONS, OR OF THE BREAD, 36:37 REMAIN UNTO THE MORNING, THEN THOU SHALT BURN THE REMAINDER 36:41 WITH FIRE: IT SHALL NOT BE EATEN, BECAUSE IT IS HOLY." 36:46 SO YOU'VE GOT THIS RAM OF CONSECRATION - RAM OF DEDICATION 36:49 - IT'S SACRIFICED, BLOOD PUT ON HIS EAR, HIS THUMB, HIS FOOT - 36:52 SAME WITH HIS SONS - RIGHT EAR, RIGHT FOOT, RIGHT THUMB. 36:56 SOME IS EATEN - THE REST IS BURNED - SOME IS EATEN - IF 36:59 ANY LEFT THE NEXT MORNING THAT HAS TO BE BURNED 37:02 BECAUSE IT'S HOLY. 37:03 BUT I WANT TO RETURN NOW TO VERSE 20 WHERE GOD ACTUALLY 37:08 DELINEATES WHAT NEEDED TO HAPPEN - WHERE THE BLOOD WAS PUT ON 37:11 AARON'S EAR, HIS THUMB AND HIS FOOT. 37:15 AND I'M READING FROM PAGE 67 OF ANDREASEN'S BOOK. 37:20 IS THIS EASY FOR - AM I MAKING THIS CLEAR? 37:22 CAN YOU FOLLOW ME OKAY? ALRIGHT. 37:25 NOTICE - LET'S THINK ABOUT THIS OURSELVES. 37:30 "THE APPLICATION OF THE BLOOD TO THE EAR OF AARON, DOUBTLESS 37:35 SIGNIFIES THE CONSECRATION OF THIS MEMBER TO THE SERVICE OF 37:40 GOD." NOW THINK ABOUT THAT IN RESPECT 37:44 TO YOURSELF AND APPLY THIS TO YOURSELF. 37:47 "HENCEFORTH AARON MUST HARKEN DILIGENTLY TO GOD'S COMMANDMENTS 37:53 AND MUST CLOSE HIS EARS TO EVIL. 37:58 THIS LESSON IS FOR ALL AND FOR ALL TIME. 38:02 IT IS PROFITABLE FOR MINISTERS AND LAYMEN ALIKE. WELL WOULD IT 38:08 BE IF IT WERE HEEDED TO OBEY, TO LISTEN, TO OBEY IS BETTER THAN 38:14 SACRIFICE AND TO HARKEN THAN THE FAT OF RAMS." 38:20 WE COULD STOP RIGHT THERE AND TALK THE REST OF THIS MORNING, 38:22 COULDN'T WE - ABOUT WHAT WE LISTEN TO? 38:25 IT'S A TEMPTATION BUT I HAVE TO MOVE ON. LET'S MOVE ON - 38:31 STILL IN VERSE 20 - AND THE BLOOD WAS PUT "...UPON THE THUMB 38:35 OF THEIR RIGHT HAND..." GOOD MORNING, SIR. 38:39 AND THIS IS WHAT WE READ ON PAGE 67 OF ANDREASEN'S BOOK ABOUT THE 38:44 BLOOD ON THE THUMB OF THE RIGHT HAND. "THIS PLACING OF THE BLOOD 38:51 ON THE THUMB OF THE RIGHT HAND OF AARON 38:53 SIGNIFIES THAT HE SHOULD HENCEFORTH DO RIGHTEOUSNESS. 38:58 JUST AS HEARING HAS TO DO WITH THE MIND, SO THE HAND HAS TO DO 39:02 WITH BODILY ACTIVITY." IT STANDS FOR THE LIFE FORCES - 39:06 THE OUTWARD ACT - THE DOING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. 39:09 OF CHRIST IT IS WRITTEN FROM HEBREWS 10:7 - AND THIS IS 39:12 ACTUALLY FROM PSALMS - 'LO I COME TO DO THY WILL O GOD.' 39:17 "MY MEAT, CHRIST SAID, IS TO DO THE WILL OF HIM THAT SENT ME AND 39:20 TO FINISH HIS WORK." JOHN 4:34. TOUCHING THE HAND WITH THE BLOOD 39:25 MEANS THE CONSECRATION OF THE LIFE AND SERVICE TO GOD. 39:28 ENTIRE DEDICATION. WHO HAS YOUR HANDS? 39:34 YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR MIND. 39:38 WHERE ARE YOUR FONDEST THOUGHTS RIGHT NOW? 39:42 ELLEN WHITE SAYS IN THE BOOK 'STEPS TO CHRIST' 'IF YOU WANT 39:45 TO KNOW WHERE YOU'RE AT' - SHE SAYS - DO A LITTLE CHECKING - 39:49 WHO HAS YOUR FONDEST THOUGHTS AND AFFECTIONS RIGHT NOW? 39:52 AND I'LL GUARANTEE WHOEVER HAS YOUR FONDEST THOUGHTS AND 39:55 AFFECTIONS, WHETHER IT'S GOD OR SATAN, THEY ALSO HAVE YOUR 39:57 HANDS. AND AS YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT 40:01 'OH, I'D LIKE TO DO THAT' - IT MIGHT BE BAD - THEN YOUR HANDS, 40:04 GIVEN THE CHANCE, THEY'RE READY TO GO. 40:10 OR IF THE THOUGHT, HOPEFULLY, IS IN THE OTHER DIRECTION, 'OH 40:15 LORD, I WANT TO DO THAT - I WANT TO DO THAT GOOD THING SO MUCH.' 40:21 IF THAT'S IN YOUR HEART THEN YOUR HANDS - WHAT DIRECTION ARE 40:24 THEY FACING? THEY'RE GOING THAT WAY. 40:28 IT SAYS IN PSALMS - IT SAYS, 'LORD, THY WAY IS IN THE 40:32 SANCTUARY' AND WE CAN SEE THAT GOD'S WAY - SALVATION AND HOW WE 40:36 ARE TO BE AS CHRISTIANS - IT'S ALL THERE IN THE SANCTUARY. 40:41 THE SANCTUARY IS A PICTURE BOOK OF SALVATION. 40:45 THE SANCTUARY IS A PICTURE BOOK OF HOW GOD IS DEALING WITH THIS 40:50 ISSUE OF SIN. HOW WE CAN MAINTAIN HIS LAW 40:55 WITHOUT BENDING IT, BREAKING IT - AND AT THE SAME TIME CAN SAVE 40:59 THESE DISOBEDIENT LITTLE WRETCHES THAT WE ARE BECAUSE HE 41:04 LOVES US SO MUCH. AND SO HE PAINTED A PICTURE BOOK 41:09 AND THAT'S THE SANCTUARY SERVICE. 41:12 AND IF YOU WANT TO UNDERSTAND SALVATION, YOU LOOK IN THAT BOOK 41:15 AND SEE - YOU'LL SEE THERE. AND THE BLOOD WHICH WAS ON AARON 41:21 AND HIS SONS' EARS AND THUMBS AND FEET - THAT BLOOD SYMBOLIZED 41:27 WHOSE BLOOD? JESUS, THE BLOOD OF THE SEED 41:33 THAT WAS PROMISED - THAT WOULD COME AND WOULD PUT ENMITY 41:37 BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND CHRIST. AND, OF COURSE, THE TOE. 41:46 IT SAYS, 'PLACING THE BLOOD ON THE TOE HAS A SIMILAR MEANING. 41:48 IT SIGNIFIES WALKING IN THE RIGHT WAY - RUNNING GOD'S 41:51 ERRANDS - STANDING FOR TRUTH AND RIGHTEOUSNESS. 41:54 IT MEANS TREADING THE PATH OF OBEDIENCE - HAVING ONE'S STEPS 41:58 ORDERED BY THE LORD. EVERY FACULTY OF THEIR BEING IS 42:01 TO BE DEDICATED TO GOD AND CONSECRATED TO HIS SERVICE. 42:05 THAT VISION OF ELLEN WHITE - THE FIRST ONE SHE HAD - DO YOU 42:07 REMEMBER? WHERE DID SHE SEE GOD'S PEOPLE? 42:10 THEY WERE GOING UP THIS HILL, RIGHT? 42:11 THIS PATH - IT WAS A NARROW PATH AND THERE THEY WERE GOING UP AND 42:16 IT WAS STEEP AND BEHIND THEM THERE WAS A LIGHT - SHE SAID 42:19 THAT WAS THE MIDNIGHT CRY - AND AHEAD OF THEM THERE WAS A LIGHT 42:22 AND THERE WAS JESUS. AND THEY WERE GOING UP THAT PATH 42:26 AND THE ONLY WAY THEY COULD GO UP THAT PATH AND THE ONLY WAY 42:28 THEY WOULD CONTINUE TO GO UP THAT PATH IS IF THEY HAD THAT 42:31 BLOOD ON THEIR FEET. WE NEED OUR FEET CONSECRATING - 42:37 OUR HANDS CONSECRATING - OUR HEARTS CONSECRATING - OUR ALL 42:40 CONSECRATING WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS. 42:42 AND WHEN THINGS GET TOUGH AND THAT PATH GETS NARROW AND IT 42:46 GETS STEEPER - YOU KNOW WHICH WAY YOU'LL KEEP GOING? 42:49 YOU'LL KEEP GOING UP AND YOU'LL SO LOVE RIGHTEOUSNESS AND YOU'LL 42:55 SO HATE EVIL THAT YOU WOULD RATHER DIE THAN TURN AROUND. 43:02 I WANT TO BE A CHRISTIAN LIKE THAT. ALRIGHT. 43:09 IN CONCLUDING THIS SECTION, I WANT TO JUST GO TO 43:15 LEVITICUS 9 - TURN TO LEVITICUS 9 - I'M GOING TO READ VERSES 22, 43:21 23, AND 24 IN A MOMENT. 43:23 BUT IN LEVITICUS CHAPTER 9 - AND WE'RE GOING HERE TO THIS SAME 43:27 EVENT THAT IS IN GENESIS 29 - JUST DIFFERENT ACCOUNT - OF WHEN 43:32 AARON AND HIS SONS AND THE SANCTUARY WERE ALL SPRINKLED AND 43:36 DEDICATED WITH THE BLOOD AND THE OIL AND ALL THAT WAS NECESSARY. 43:42 BUT HERE IN LEVITICUS 9, ON THIS SAME DAY - ON THIS SAME OCCASION 43:48 - IN VERSE 4, GOD TOLD THE PEOPLE THIS - WELL, AARON TOLD 43:55 THE PEOPLE THIS AS THEY WERE GETTING READY TO GO THROUGH THIS 43:58 CONSECRATION PROCESS. THE VERY LAST SENTENCE OF VERSE 44:03 4, MOSES SAID, "...FOR TODAY THE LORD WILL APPEAR UNTO YOU." 44:12 HE SAID, 'THE LORD WILL APPEAR UNTO YOU.' KEEP THAT IN MIND. 44:17 SO THE CEREMONIES BEGIN AND IT LASTED, ACTUALLY, SEVEN DAYS, 44:22 ACTUALLY, THE - AARON AND HIS SONS HAD TO REMAIN WITHIN THE 44:24 CONFINES OF THE SANCTUARY. BUT NONETHELESS, WE PICK UP NOW 44:30 WHERE EVERYTHING HAD BEEN COMPLETED. 44:31 AARON AND HIS SONS WERE FULLY CONSECRATED TO - HE WAS FULLY 44:36 CONSECRATED TO HIS HIGH PRIESTLY OFFICE AND EMPOWERED BY GOD TO 44:40 FULFILL THIS SACRED ROLE AND IN LEVITICUS 9 WE FIND THAT HE 44:46 OFFERS THE FIRST SACRIFICE. AND THEN WE READ, PICKING UP IN 44:50 LEVITCUS 9, VERSE 22, "AND AARON LIFTED UP HIS HAND TOWARD THE 44:56 PEOPLE, AND BLESSED THEM, AND CAME DOWN FROM OFFERING OF THE 45:01 SIN OFFERING, AND THE BURNT OFFERING, AND PEACE OFFERINGS. 45:06 AND MOSES AND AARON WENT INTO THE TABERNACLE" - SO HE OFFERED 45:09 THE FIRST SACRIFICES. THEN MOSES - MOSES STILL HAS A 45:13 TEACHING ROLE AT THIS POINT, SHOWING AARON WHAT TO DO. 45:17 ONCE IT WAS ALL FULLY CONSECRATED, EVEN MOSES COULDN'T 45:19 GO IN THERE, JUST AARON - BUT RIGHT AT THIS POINT GOD'S 45:21 GOT MOSES SHOWING AARON WHAT TO DO. 45:23 AND SO THEY GO INTO THE SANCTUARY AND THEY GO INTO THE 45:25 HOLY PLACE AND THEY WOULD HAVE GONE INTO THE MOST HOLY PLACE 45:28 AND MOSES IS INSTRUCTING AARON, YOU KNOW, 'YOU DO THIS. 45:33 YOU DO THAT. YOU'VE GOT TO GET IT RIGHT 45:37 BECAUSE GOD IS PARTICULAR.' THEN THEY COME OUT. NOTICE NOW - 45:44 23 - "AND MOSES AND AARON WENT INTO THE TABERNACLE OF THE 45:47 CONGREGATION, AND CAME OUT, AND BLESSED THE PEOPLE: - NOW NOTICE 45:53 - "AND THE GLORY OF THE LORD APPEARED UNTO ALL THE PEOPLE. 45:59 AND THERE CAME A FIRE OUT FROM BEFORE THE LORD, AND CONSUMED 46:02 UPON THE ALTAR THE BURNT OFFERING AND THE FAT: WHICH WHEN 46:07 ALL THE PEOPLE SAW, THEY SHOUTED, AND FELL ON THEIR 46:10 FACES." 'WHOA - DID YOU SEE THAT? WHAT HAPPENED?' NOW GOD'S 46:17 SERVANT - HIS SANCTUARY - WAS CONSECRATED. HE HAD HIS PRIEST. 46:22 HE HAD HIS HIGH PRIEST. HE HAD HIS SONS - TOO BAD THEY WENT 46:25 ASTRAY BUT LET'S NOT GET AROUND TO THAT TODAY. 46:28 EVERYTHING WAS READY, THE SACRIFICE WAS OFFERED, THE HANDS 46:31 WERE RAISED IN BENEDICTION AND FIRE CAME DOWN FROM GOD OUT OF 46:36 HEAVEN AND THE PRESENCE OF GOD WAS MANIFEST AND THAT SACRIFICE 46:40 WAS CONSUMED AND THE PEOPLE FELL ON THEIR FACES. 46:44 DID THEY DO THAT SOMETIME IN THE PAST? 46:46 WHAT ABOUT ON MOUNT CARMEL, RIGHT? 46:50 WELL THE POINT I WANT TO MAKE IS THIS: WHEN WE, AS A PEOPLE, ARE 47:01 FULLY CONSECRATED, FULLY CONVERTED AND FULLY GIVEN OVER 47:07 TO GOD - WHEN WE, AS A PEOPLE, HAVE A FULLY CONVERTED AND A 47:14 FULLY CONSECRATED MINISTRY - AND I'M PART OF THAT - NOT POINTING 47:18 FINGERS BUT I'LL SAY IT AGAIN. 47:20 WHEN WE, AS A PEOPLE, HAVE A FULLY CONVERTED AND FULLY 47:24 CONSECRATED MINISTRY THAT WILL ONLY OFFER UPON THE ALTAR OF GOD 47:29 THAT WHICH HE HAS SPECIFICALLY SAID IN HIS WORD - STRICTLY 47:34 ACCORDING TO HIS WORD, THEN THE GLORY OF GOD WILL BE MANIFEST IN 47:38 HIS REMNANT CHURCH BEFORE OUR EYES AND BEFORE THE EYES OF THE 47:42 ONLOOKING UNIVERSE AND EVEN IN THE EYES OF THE WORLD. 47:46 THAT IS WHY GOD IS TELLING US WE NEED TO COME INTO LINE AS A 47:50 PEOPLE AND WE NEED TO SEEK HIM SUCH AS NEVER BEFORE. 47:55 FRIENDS, WE'VE GOT A LOT OF PRAYING TO DO. 47:57 WE'VE GOT A LOT OF HEART SEARCHING TO DO - EVEN WITHIN 48:00 THE MINISTRY - A LOT OF HEART SEARCHING TO DO. 48:03 THERE'S A LOT OF REPENTING TO DO. 48:05 THERE'S A LOT OF FORSAKING OF SIN TO DO AND WE NEED TO DO IT 48:10 BECAUSE IF WE DON'T GOD MAY PASS US BY AND HE WILL FIND SOMEBODY 48:15 WHO WILL ALLOW HIM TO PUT THE BLOOD ON THEIR EAR AND ON THEIR 48:19 THUMB AND ON THEIR FOOT AND ON THEIR HEART AND ON THEIR BRAIN 48:22 AND TRULY BRING TO HIM A SACRIFICE THAT IS A 48:25 SWEET-SMELLING SAVOR BECAUSE THEY ARE FULLY SURRENDERED TO 48:28 HIM WHO HAS GIVEN HIS ALL TO THEM. 48:33 I WANT TO READ GENESIS 22, VERSES 1 AND 2. 48:37 NOW MORIAH, OF COURSE, MOUNT MORIAH, THIS IS WHERE ABRAHAM 48:40 TOOK HIS DEAR BOY, RIGHT? AND TALK ABOUT A TEST - VERSE 48:48 1, "AND IT CAME TO PASS AFTER THESE THINGS, THAT GOD DID TEMPT 48:52 ABRAHAM," - WHAT IT MEANS IS THAT HE TESTED HIM - "AND IT 48:56 CAME TO PASS AFTER THESE THINGS, THAT GOD DID 'TEST' ABRAHAM, 48:59 AND SAID UNTO HIM, 'ABRAHAM:' AND HE SAID, 49:04 'BEHOLD, HERE I AM.' AND HE SAID, 'TAKE NOW THY SON, 49:11 THINE ONLY SON ISAAC, WHOM THOU LOVEST, AND GET THEE INTO THE 49:16 LAND OF MORIAH; AND OFFER HIM THERE FOR A BURNT OFFERING UPON 49:22 ONE OF THE MOUNTAINS WHICH I WILL TELL THEE OF." 49:28 THE FEW MOMENTS WE HAVE THIS MORNING TO CONTEMPLATE AND 49:31 COMMENT ON THIS EVENT IN ABRAHAM'S LIFE IS SO - IT'S SO 49:37 PITIFULLY INADEQUATE, IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE AN INSULT TO GOD AND 49:43 WHAT'S WRITTEN HERE AND EVERYTHING IT MEANS, BUT WE JUST 49:47 HAVE A FEW MINUTES. BUT NONETHELESS, TWO THINGS 49:50 I WANT TO MENTION. THE FIRST ONE, WE DO NOT - WE 49:57 MUST NOT - WE CANNOT FAIL TO RECOGNIZE THE MAGNITUDE OF 50:04 ABRAHAM'S FAITH IN BEING WILLING TO OBEY GOD - BEING WILLING TO 50:11 DESTROY - DESTROY THE BELOVED CHILD THAT HAD BEEN GIVEN HIM, 50:18 AND THROUGH WHICH EVERYTHING HAD BEEN PROMISED. 50:22 IT SEEMED ALMOST INSANE BUT GOD SAID, 'TAKE YOUR BOY, ABRAHAM, 50:29 TAKE HIM INTO THE LAND OF MORIAH AND YOU OFFER HIM AS A 50:34 SACRIFICE.' AND SO HE WENT. WELL, JUST IMAGINE WHEN HE'S 50:41 EVEN RAISING THE KNIFE, YOU KNOW? 50:44 THE FAITH HE HAD - HE'S RAISING THE KNIFE - GOD SAYS, 'KILL YOUR 50:47 BOY' - HE'S RAISING THE KNIFE AND YET HE STILL SAID, GOD WILL 50:50 PROVIDE A LAMB AND HE'S READY TO BRING THAT KNIFE DOWN. 50:53 IT ALMOST SEEMED LIKE AN ACT OF INSANITY. 50:56 IT MAY BE QUESTIONED AS INSANITY - I DON'T KNOW - IN HIS 50:58 HUMANNESS - BUT WE KNOW THAT GOD SPARED HIM FROM HAVING TO DO 51:03 THAT. SO THERE'S ABRAHAM'S FAITH. WE COULD SAY LOTS ABOUT 51:07 IT BUT I WANT TO MOVE ON TO THE SECOND POINT. 51:10 BECAUSE I'VE OPTED THIS MORNING INSTEAD TO FOCUS - AGAIN BRIEFLY 51:13 - ON HOW THIS EVENT NOT ONLY PREFIGURED THE SACRIFICIAL DEATH 51:17 OF JESUS, OF COURSE, BUT HOW IT GAVE ABRAHAM - EVEN THOUGH IT 51:22 WAS REALLY SLIGHT COMPARED TO GOD'S MEASURE OF THE CUP - IT 51:27 STILL GAVE ABRAHAM A TASTE OF THE UNSPEAKABLE ANGUISH THAT GOD 51:32 THE FATHER ENDURED WHEN HE OFFERED UP HIS ONLY SON TO 51:38 SUFFER AND DIE FOR THE SINS OF A WORLD THAT HAS NEVER REALLY 51:43 LOVED HIM. 51:45 IN 'PATRIARCHS AND PROPHETS' PAGE 154 WE READ THIS, "IT WAS 51:55 TO IMPRESS ABRAHAM'S MIND WITH THE REALITY OF THE GOSPEL, AS 51:59 WELL AS TO TEST HIS FAITH, THAT GOD COMMANDED HIM TO SLAY HIS 52:03 SON" - AND IT'S THIS I WANT US TO FOCUS ON - "THE AGONY WHICH 52:07 HE ENDURED DURING THE DARK DAYS OF THAT FEARFUL TRIAL WAS 52:12 PERMITTED THAT HE MIGHT UNDERSTAND FROM HIS OWN 52:15 EXPERIENCE, SOMETHING OF THE GREATNESS OF THE SACRIFICE MADE 52:20 BY THE INFINITE GOD FOR MAN'S REDEMPTION. 52:24 NO OTHER TASK COULD HAVE CAUSED ABRAHAM SUCH TORTURE OF SOUL AS 52:32 DID THE OFFERING OF HIS SON. GOD GAVE HIS SON TO A DEATH OF 52:38 AGONY AND SHAME." TRY AND PUT YOURSELF IN 52:44 ABRAHAM'S SHOES IF YOU POSSIBLY CAN. 52:49 HE'S GOT TO OFFER HIS SON AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT WE WONDER AT 52:54 THE GRIEF HE MUST HAVE SUFFERED AS HE FINALLY GETS TO MOUNT 52:58 MORIAH AND HE'S THINKING OF THE GRIEF THAT THIS IS GOING TO 53:02 BRING TO HIS SON AS WELL - HIS ONLY BOY. 53:06 AND SO, YOU KNOW, THE BOY ASKS, 'DAD, WHERE'S THE, YOU KNOW, 53:11 RAM?' HE WAS A BOY, HE WASN'T A GROWN 53:14 MAN, HE WAS WONDERING WHERE WAS THE SACRIFICE. 53:18 'SON, GOD WILL PROVIDE A SACRIFICE.' HE GETS TO 53:23 MOUNT MORIAH, SETS UP THE ALTAR - THERE'S STILL NO RAM. 53:29 AND THEN THE MOMENT COMES THAT ABRAHAM TURNS TO HIS PRECIOUS 53:37 SON. HE WAS A DAD. HE WAS A FATHER LIKE ANYBODY 53:41 ELSE AND HE'S GOT TO TURN TO HIS SON NOW AND BREAK THE NEWS THAT 53:49 'YOU'RE GOING TO BE THE SACRIFICE.' 53:53 NOW, IF - TO HAVE LISTENED IN TO THAT CONVERSATION - I'M SURE GOD 53:58 MUST HAVE IT RECORDED AND WE CAN LISTEN TO IT IN HEAVEN. 54:01 I WANT TO HEAR IT. BUT IF WE COULD LISTEN INTO THAT 54:03 CONVERSATION IT WOULD BREAK THE HEART OF EVERY MOTHER AND FATHER 54:10 WHO'S EVER THOUGHT THAT MUCH ABOUT THEIR CHILD. HE TURNS TO 54:15 HIS SON AND HE SAYS, 'SON, YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU, DON'T YOU SON? 54:22 WELL, YOU KNOW I DO AND, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'LL 54:28 THINK ABOUT ME WHEN I TELL YOU THIS AND I'M NOT SURE HOW YOU 54:33 MIGHT FEEL ABOUT ME.' AND SO HE'S GOING ON TRYING TO 54:36 FIND THE WORDS AND HE SAYS, 'YOU KNOW, THIS IS HARD SON AND TO BE 54:41 HONEST I DON'T KNOW HOW BEST I CAN TELL YOU.' 54:44 AND SO ISAAC'S SAYING, 'DAD. WHAT IS IT DAD? TELL ME.' 54:49 'WELL SON' - AND YOU CAN IMAGINE THE TEARS START TO STREAM DOWN 54:54 ABRAHAM'S OLD FACE. HIS HANDS PROBABLY START TO 54:59 SHAKE A LITTLE BIT AND HE GETS CHOKED UP. 55:02 'WELL SON, THIS IS GOING TO BE - IT'S GOING TO BE THE HARDEST 55:06 THING I'VE EVER HAD TO DO BUT, WELL, YOU AND I, WE'VE GOT TO 55:12 SAY 'GOODBYE' TODAY.' AND THEN HE TELLS HIM. 55:18 TRY TO IMAGINE THAT IF YOU CAN. 55:20 WELL, WE KNOW GOD, IN MERCY, HE SPARED ABRAHAM'S SON, HE DID. 55:27 BUT ALL THAT THIS PREFIGURED WAS THAT GOD WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO 55:31 SPARE HIS OWN SON. WE GET A GLIMPSE OF THIS. 55:37 WE GET A GLIMPSE OF THE DARK SORROW AND GRIEF THAT SWALLOWED 55:41 UP THE HEART OF GOD AS HE STOOD SILENTLY IN THE SHADOWS BESIDE 55:46 THE CROSS WATCHING HIS POOR TORTURED AND BROKEN-HEARTED SON 55:51 BLEEDING AND WASTING AWAY FOR THE SINS OF THIS WORLD. 55:56 AND AT THAT POINT I HAVE TO STOP. THE TIME'S GONE. 56:02 BUT I WOULD ASK YOU TO GO READ 'DESIRE OF AGES' - GETHSEMANE 56:08 AND CALVARY - AND ASK GOD TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING OF AN 56:13 UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IT WAS LIKE IN THAT DARK PLACE 56:19 PREFIGURED ON MOUNT MORIAH WHERE GOD GAVE HIS SON FOR THIS WORLD. 56:28 DON'T RUSH THROUGH IT. PRAY ABOUT IT. 56:31 AND AS WE START TO SEE THAT - SEE THE PRECIOUSNESS OF THAT 56:35 BLOOD - WE'LL WANT TO MAKE OURSELVES A LIVING SACRIFICE. 56:40 SAY, 'LORD, HERE I AM. ALL OF ME. TAKE IT ALL. 56:45 I DON'T WANT IT. TAKE BACK WHAT YOU BOUGHT, IT'S YOURS. 56:50 YOU DON'T GET MUCH BACK, I'M SORRY. 56:52 BUT WHAT I AM IS ALL I HAVE.' BUT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S ALL HE 56:55 WANTS. SO PRAISE GOD FOR THAT.
