SPRING DOING AFCOE - AFCOE

00:09:16.66\00:09:21.43

IT TALKS ABOUT THE PRINCIPLES OF
THE LAW - HOLY LIVING - AND, YOU
00:10:02.83\00:10:08.13
KNOW, WE TALK ABOUT GRACE AND
JUSTIFICATION BUT THERE'S ALSO
00:10:08.13\00:10:11.50

00:10:31.53\00:10:34.86
ALRIGHT, THE LESSON IS 'CHRIST
AND THE LAW IN THE SERMON ON THE
00:10:34.86\00:10:39.10
MOUNT'. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
00:10:39.10\00:10:40.73
I'LL EXPLAIN WHY
IN JUST A MINUTE.
00:10:40.73\00:10:42.70
THE MEMORY VERSE IS MATTHEW 5:17
AND 18 - MOST OF YOU SHOULD KNOW
00:10:42.70\00:10:46.53
THAT BUT I'D LIKE YOU TO
SAY IT WITH ME - ARE YOU READY?
00:10:46.53\00:10:49.26
AND THIS IS FROM THE NEW KING
JAMES VERSION, "DO NOT THINK
00:10:49.26\00:10:54.03
THAT I CAME TO DESTROY
THE LAW OR THE PROPHETS.
00:10:54.03\00:10:57.40
I DID NOT COME TO DESTROY BUT
TO FULFILL. FOR ASSUREDLY, I SAY
00:10:57.40\00:11:03.03
TO YOU, TILL HEAVEN AND EARTH
PASS AWAY, ONE JOT OR ONE TITTLE
00:11:03.03\00:11:08.13
WILL BY NO MEANS PASS FROM
THE LAW TILL ALL IS FULFILLED."
00:11:08.13\00:11:13.13
NOW THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT
STUDY BECAUSE - HOW MANY OF YOU
00:11:13.13\00:11:17.03
HAVE HEARD BEFORE THAT YES,
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT GOD HAD HIS
00:11:17.03\00:11:21.03
LAW AND YOU'VE GOT THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS, BUT THEN JESUS
00:11:21.03\00:11:24.93
CAME AND NOW WE'RE LIVING
UNDER THE NEW DISPENSATION WHERE
00:11:24.93\00:11:29.00
CHRIST GAVE US A NEW LAW
AND THAT THE LAW OF JESUS IS
00:11:29.00\00:11:33.83
DIFFERENT FROM THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS IN THE OLD
00:11:33.83\00:11:35.93
TESTAMENT LAW. HOW
MANY OF YOU HAVE HEARD THAT
00:11:35.93\00:11:38.26
BEFORE - SOME VARIATION OF THAT
00:11:38.26\00:11:39.66
BEFORE? THAT IS
CATEGORICALLY NOT TRUE.
00:11:39.66\00:11:43.13
THAT, ACTUALLY, IS A DOCTRINE OF
DEVILS BECAUSE IT ALMOST MAKES
00:11:43.13\00:11:46.70
IT SOUND LIKE
YOU'VE GOT DIFFERENT GODS.
00:11:46.70\00:11:49.00
YOU'VE GOT THE GOD IN THE LAW OF
THE OLD TESTAMENT AND THEN JESUS
00:11:49.00\00:11:51.56
CAME TO REALLY
STRAIGHTEN THINGS OUT.
00:11:51.56\00:11:53.43
THEY WERE SAVED BY WORKS IN THE
OLD TESTAMENT BUT WE ARE SAVED
00:11:53.43\00:11:56.86
BY FAITH IN GRACE NOW.
HAVE YOU HEARD THAT BEFORE?
00:11:56.86\00:12:00.40
NOBODY'S SAVED BY WORKS.
NOBODY CAN BE SAVED BY WORKS.
00:12:00.40\00:12:05.20
NOBODY EVER COULD
BE SAVED BY WORKS.
00:12:05.20\00:12:07.80
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT,
THEY WERE SAVED BY FAITH.
00:12:07.80\00:12:10.26
ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD AND
IT WAS COUNTED TO HIM FOR
00:12:10.26\00:12:12.43
RIGHTEOUSNESS. THEY
WERE SAVED BY FAITH LOOKING
00:12:12.43\00:12:15.66
FORWARD - ALL THE SACRIFICING OF
LAMBS, THAT ALL POINTED FORWARD
00:12:15.66\00:12:20.13
TO THE COMING
OF THE LAMB OF GOD.
00:12:20.13\00:12:22.60
AND IT WASN'T A DIFFERENT GOD
THAT THOUGHT UP THE SACRIFICIAL
00:12:22.60\00:12:26.30
SYSTEM, IT WAS JESUS.
AND IT WASN'T A DIFFERENT GOD
00:12:26.30\00:12:30.50
THAT GAVE THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS, THAT WAS JESUS.
00:12:30.50\00:12:33.53
AND THE TEACHINGS OF
JESUS PERFECTLY COMPLIMENT THE
00:12:33.53\00:12:37.23
TEACHINGS OF THE OLD TESTAMENT.
AND SO, IT'S IMPORTANT TO
00:12:37.23\00:12:40.73
UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN WE
TALK ABOUT CHRIST AND HIS LAW -
00:12:40.73\00:12:44.06
EVEN THE TITLE OF THE
LESSON - I WAS AFRAID SOME WOULD
00:12:44.06\00:12:47.06
MISUNDERSTAND. 'CHRIST
AND HIS LAW IS NOT JUST
00:12:47.06\00:12:50.33
TALKING ABOUT THE NEW TESTAMENT
LAWS, BECAUSE WHO WAS IT THAT
00:12:50.33\00:12:55.00
GAVE THE OLD
TESTAMENT LAW? CHRIST.
00:12:55.00\00:12:58.40
AND SO WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT
CHRIST AND HIS LAW, DON'T BE
00:12:58.40\00:13:01.30
THINKING IN YOUR MIND, 'WELL,
THIS MUST JUST MEAN THE NEW
00:13:01.30\00:13:03.76
TESTAMENT LAW.' THE QUARTERLY
DOES PRINCIPALLY DEAL WITH THAT,
00:13:03.76\00:13:08.13
BUT IT'S THE SAME LAW AND THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT'S BROUGHT OUT
00:13:08.13\00:13:11.23
POWERFULLY, I
THINK, IN THIS STUDY.
00:13:11.23\00:13:15.16
FOR INSTANCE, OUR MEMORY VERSE -
JESUS SAYS, 'DO NOT THINK' - NOW
00:13:15.16\00:13:21.43
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
DON'T THINK THIS, RIGHT?
00:13:21.43\00:13:25.50
I MEAN, JUST SIMPLEST READING
- CAN'T MISUNDERSTAND - 'DO NOT
00:13:25.50\00:13:27.90
THINK I'VE COME TO
DESTROY THE LAW OR THE PROPHETS.
00:13:27.90\00:13:30.93
I DID NOT COME TO DESTROY
BUT TO FULFILL.' OKAY, STOP.
00:13:30.93\00:13:34.56
SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT
JESUS CAME TO FULFILL THE OLD
00:13:34.56\00:13:38.43
TESTAMENT LAW AND THAT MEANS HE
CAME TO ABOLISH OR DO AWAY WITH
00:13:38.43\00:13:42.13
IT. NOW, IF
JESUS SAYING 'I CAME TO
00:13:42.13\00:13:45.63
FULFILL THE OLD TESTAMENT LAW
MEANS 'I CAME TO ABOLISH IT' -
00:13:45.63\00:13:48.50
LISTEN TO HOW SILLY THAT'LL
SOUND: 'DO NOT THINK THAT I HAVE
00:13:48.50\00:13:52.16
COME TO ABOLISH THE
LAW AND THE PROPHETS.
00:13:52.16\00:13:54.03
I DID NOT COME TO ABOLISH BUT TO
DO AWAY WITH.' WOULDN'T THAT BE
00:13:54.03\00:13:58.93
THE SAME THING? THAT
WOULD BE A CONTRADICTION.
00:13:58.93\00:14:02.50
SO WHAT DOES FULFILL MEAN?
WHEN JESUS CAME TO JOHN THE
00:14:02.50\00:14:07.86
BAPTIST TO GET BAPTIZED,
AND JOHN, RECOGNIZING HE WAS THE
00:14:07.86\00:14:12.03
MESSIAH, SAID,
'LORD, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
00:14:12.03\00:14:14.80
I NEED TO BE BAPTIZED BY YOU.'
- I'M PARAPHRASING - AND JESUS
00:14:14.80\00:14:18.50
SAID TO JOHN, 'SUFFER IT TO BE
SO NOW FOR THUS IT'S APPROPRIATE
00:14:18.50\00:14:22.90
TO FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS.
NOW, DOES 'FULFILL' MEAN
00:14:22.90\00:14:27.76
'DO AWAY WITH'? DOES
'FULFILL' MEAN 'ABOLISH'?
00:14:27.76\00:14:32.16
WOULD JESUS HAVE SAID TO
JOHN, 'YOU NEED TO BAPTIZE ME TO
00:14:32.16\00:14:35.50
ABOLISH ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS AND
DO AWAY WITH ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS.'
00:14:35.50\00:14:38.16
NO. FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS
- IT MEANS 'TO FILL FULL'.
00:14:38.16\00:14:43.23
IT MEANS TO COMPLETE. SO
JESUS DIDN'T COME TO DO AWAY
00:14:43.23\00:14:47.76
WITH THE LAW, HE CAME
TO FILL IT UP IN HIS LIFE -
00:14:47.76\00:14:50.86
TO MAKE IT COMPLETE. SEE,
THE OLD TESTAMENT LAW STILL
00:14:50.86\00:14:55.20
WAS NOT COMPLETE IN THAT
THEY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND ALL THE
00:14:55.20\00:14:58.83
UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES. IN
THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT THAT
00:14:58.83\00:15:02.73
WE'RE GOING TO STUDY THIS
MORNING, JESUS TAKES THE LAW AND
00:15:02.73\00:15:06.20
HE UNPACKS IT AND HE MAKES
IT COMPLETE SO THAT THEY CAN
00:15:06.20\00:15:09.46
COMPREHEND IT. SOMEONE
LOOK UP FOR ME - LET ME
00:15:09.46\00:15:12.40
JUST SEE WHERE THE MICROPHONES
ARE - OKAY, WE'VE GOT ONE HERE.
00:15:12.40\00:15:16.80
SOMEONE LOOK UP FOR ME PSALM
119, VERSE 142 - WHO HAS THAT?
00:15:16.80\00:15:21.10
HAND RIGHT HERE -
WE'LL GET YOU A MICROPHONE.
00:15:21.10\00:15:23.00
AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU MIGHT
BE THAT HAS ISAIAH 40, VERSE 8 -
00:15:23.00\00:15:27.33
IS THAT A DIFFERENT SIDE?
YOU HAVE THAT VERSE? OKAY,
00:15:27.33\00:15:30.20
SO YOU'LL BE UP NEXT BUT IT'LL
BE A MINUTE, MELISSA, OKAY?
00:15:30.20\00:15:33.10
NOW, HERE'S A VERY IMPORTANT
VERSE: ISAIAH 51:7 - OH, ISAIAH
00:15:33.10\00:15:40.26
42:21, SORRY - GO WITH ME TO
ISAIAH 42, VERSE 21, "THE LORD
00:15:40.26\00:15:47.23
IS WELL PLEASED FOR HIS
RIGHTEOUSNESS' SAKE; HE WILL
00:15:47.23\00:15:51.23
MAGNIFY THE LAW,
AND MAKE IT HONORABLE."
00:15:51.23\00:15:55.13
NOW, THIS IS A SECTION THAT
IS TALKING ABOUT THE MESSIAH.
00:15:55.13\00:15:58.20
WHAT WOULD THE
MESSIAH DO? MAGNIFY.
00:15:58.20\00:16:00.60
IS THAT LIKE 'DELETE' - THE
'DELETE' KEY ON YOUR KEYBOARD?
00:16:00.60\00:16:05.63
I'VE GOT ANOTHER FUNCTION ON
MY KEYBOARD WHERE IF I PRESS THE
00:16:05.63\00:16:08.20
'CONTROL' BUTTON AND I SCROLL IT
MAKES ANYTHING ON MY SCREEN GET
00:16:08.20\00:16:11.56
BIGGER - IT'S WONDERFUL.
00:16:11.56\00:16:13.20
BECAUSE AS YOU GET OLDER YOU
USE THAT MORE - MAGNIFY - AND SO
00:16:13.20\00:16:19.10
WHAT DOES 'MAGNIFY' MEAN?
MAKE BIGGER OR MAKE SMALLER?
00:16:19.10\00:16:22.53
DOES IT MAKE SOMETHING MORE
BLURRY - OBSCURE - OR DOES IT
00:16:22.53\00:16:26.56
MAKE SOMETHING
MORE CLEAR AND SHARP?
00:16:26.56\00:16:29.56
SO DID JESUS COME TO DO AWAY
WITH OR TO MAKE IT MORE CLEAR?
00:16:29.56\00:16:33.20
THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS TO FULFILL
IT - TO MAKE IT MORE CRISP.
00:16:33.20\00:16:36.90
HE CAME TO MAGNIFY THE
LAW AND MAKE IT HONORABLE.
00:16:36.90\00:16:40.40
WHY DID HE MAKE IT HONORABLE?
BECAUSE SOME OF THE MAN-MADE
00:16:40.40\00:16:44.53
TRADITIONS THAT THE RELIGIOUS
LEADERS HAD PUT ON THE LAWS,
00:16:44.53\00:16:48.86
BROUGHT SHAME AND REPROACH.
THE SABBATH LAW IS GOOD AND
00:16:48.86\00:16:55.73
JESUS OFTEN HAD CONFLICT
WITH OTHERS BECAUSE HE'D HEAL
00:16:55.73\00:16:59.90
SOMEBODY ON THE SABBATH.
AND HE BECAME ANGRY WITH THEM.
00:16:59.90\00:17:03.23
ONE DAY THERE WAS THIS MAN
WHO HAD A WITHERED HAND - IN THE
00:17:03.23\00:17:05.73
CHURCH - ON THE SABBATH -
AND JESUS ASKED THEM, HE SAID,
00:17:05.73\00:17:10.26
'IS IT BETTER TO DO
GOOD ON THE SABBATH OR EVIL?'
00:17:10.26\00:17:12.53
AND THEY WOULDN'T ANSWER HIM.
00:17:12.53\00:17:14.33
'HOW MANY OF YOU THAT HAS A
SHEEP OR A DONKEY THAT FALLS
00:17:14.33\00:17:17.50
INTO A PIT ON THE SABBATH
THEY WILL NOT PULL IT OUT?'
00:17:17.50\00:17:19.86
THEY WOULDN'T ANSWER HIM AND IT
SAYS, 'JESUS WAS ANGERED' - HE
00:17:19.86\00:17:23.16
WAS GRIEVED AT THE HARDNESS
OF THEIR HEARTS AND HE TOLD THE
00:17:23.16\00:17:25.93
MAN, 'STRETCH FORTH
YOUR HAND' AND HE HEALED HIM.
00:17:25.93\00:17:27.96
BECAUSE THE IDEA THAT A DONKEY
OR A SHEEP WAS MORE IMPORTANT
00:17:27.96\00:17:31.86
THAN A MAN - THE PAGANS WOULD
LAUGH AT THE WAY SOME OF THE
00:17:31.86\00:17:36.43
RELIGIOUS LEADERS KEPT THE LAW.
IT WAS DISHONORED BECAUSE OF THE
00:17:36.43\00:17:40.36
TRADITIONS THAT
ECLIPSED THE COMMANDMENTS.
00:17:40.36\00:17:43.63
SO JESUS CAME TO MAKE IT
HONORABLE SO THAT OTHERS WOULD
00:17:43.63\00:17:46.70
SAY, 'OH, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL
LAW. IT'S A WONDERFUL LAW.
00:17:46.70\00:17:48.86
IT'S A FAIR LAW.' ALRIGHT,
GO WITH ME NOW TO PSALM 119 -
00:17:48.86\00:17:53.50
YOU'RE GOING TO READ THAT FOR
US AARON - VERSE 142, I THINK.
00:17:53.50\00:17:57.03
>>PSALM 119:142, "THY
RIGHTEOUSNESS IS AN EVERLASTING
00:17:57.03\00:18:00.90
RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND
THY LAW IS THE TRUTH."
00:18:00.90\00:18:04.33
>>NOW, THE FIRST PART OF THE
SERMON ON THE MOUNT DEALS WITH
00:18:04.33\00:18:07.43
SOMETHING CALLED 'THE
BEATITUDES' - MATTER OF FACT,
00:18:07.43\00:18:09.36
IF YOU LOOK IN YOUR LESSON,
YOU'LL SEE IN THE FIRST PAGE OF
00:18:09.36\00:18:12.53
YOUR LESSON IT SAYS THAT THE
SERMON ON THE MOUNT IS REALLY
00:18:12.53\00:18:14.76
DIVIDED UP INTO
FOUR OR FIVE SECTIONS -
00:18:14.76\00:18:17.16
IF YOU CAN COUNT THE
CONCLUSION AS A SECTION.
00:18:17.16\00:18:19.60
YOU'VE GOT THE BEATITUDES -
MATTHEW 5:1 THROUGH 12, YOU'VE
00:18:19.60\00:18:23.20
GOT THE SECTION ON LIGHT AND
SALT IN MATTHEW 5:13 THROUGH 16,
00:18:23.20\00:18:28.36
AND THEN THERE'S A LONG SECTION
WHERE JESUS GIVES A DEEPER
00:18:28.36\00:18:30.86
PERSPECTIVE ON THE LAW, AND THEN
YOU'VE GOT A LONG SECTION ON
00:18:30.86\00:18:35.00
CHRISTIAN BEHAVIOR AND THAT'S
MATTHEW 6 THROUGH THE END OF THE
00:18:35.00\00:18:38.40
SERMON ON THE MOUNT AND HE
CONCLUDES THEN WITH THE WISE AND
00:18:38.40\00:18:41.76
FOOLISH BUILDER AND WHETHER OR
NOT YOU WILL LISTEN TO WHAT HE
00:18:41.76\00:18:45.26
HAD SAID PREVIOUSLY. IF
YOU HAVE A RED-LETTER VERSION
00:18:45.26\00:18:49.36
OF YOUR BIBLE, YOU'LL NOTICE
THAT THE LONGEST UNINTERRUPTED
00:18:49.36\00:18:52.76
RED-LETTER SECTION IS
THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT.
00:18:52.76\00:18:55.90
IT IS A SERMON THAT JESUS
PREACHES AND IT'S - IT DOESN'T
00:18:55.90\00:18:59.90
TAKE THAT LONG FOR YOU TO
READ THROUGH IT, BUT IT'S PRETTY
00:18:59.90\00:19:02.93
POWERFUL. LOOK
HOW OFTEN IT'S QUOTED.
00:19:02.93\00:19:05.73
BUT THE FIRST PART OF THAT
SERMON - WE JUST TOLD YOU -
00:19:05.73\00:19:08.36
IS THE BEATITUDES. DO
WE SEE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:19:08.36\00:19:12.53
LISTED IN THE BEATITUDES?
IS THE LAW OF GOD REFLECTED IN
00:19:12.53\00:19:16.73
THERE OR IS HE
DOING AWAY WITH IT?
00:19:16.73\00:19:18.46
WELL, WE JUST HEARD AARON
READ, 'THY RIGHTEOUSNESS IS AN
00:19:18.46\00:19:21.73
EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS.
THY LAW IS TRUTH.' IS THERE A
00:19:21.73\00:19:25.60
BEATITUDE THAT
TALKS ABOUT RIGHTEOUSNESS?
00:19:25.60\00:19:28.53
'BLESSED ARE THOSE THAT HUNGER
AND THIRST AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS'
00:19:28.53\00:19:33.76
- THEY WILL BE FILLED.
ISAIAH 51:7, "HEARKEN UNTO ME,
00:19:33.76\00:19:39.53
YE THAT KNOW RIGHTEOUSNESS,
THE PEOPLE IN WHOSE HEART IS MY
00:19:39.53\00:19:43.66
LAW;" - IS THERE A CONNECTION
BETWEEN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND THE
00:19:43.66\00:19:46.13
LAW? YEAH, WE JUST READ THAT.
00:19:46.13\00:19:49.53
AND SO, THE BEATITUDES
ARE CONNECTED WITH THE LAW.
00:19:49.53\00:19:52.76
LET ME GIVE YOU ANOTHER EXAMPLE:
WHAT DOES THE BEATITUDE SAY IN
00:19:52.76\00:19:56.50
MATTHEW 5:7?
"BLESSED ARE THE MERCIFUL FOR
00:19:56.50\00:20:02.56
THEY SHALL OBTAIN MERCY."
ALRIGHT, IF YOU LOOK THEN, FOR
00:20:02.56\00:20:05.93
EXAMPLE, IN EXODUS 20, VERSE
6 - IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS:
00:20:05.93\00:20:11.93
"SHOWING MERCY UNTO THOUSANDS
OF THEM THAT LOVE ME AND KEEP MY
00:20:11.93\00:20:16.00
COMMANDMENTS." WHAT
COMMANDMENT IS THAT IN?
00:20:16.00\00:20:19.93
THAT'S IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
AND, MORE SPECIFICALLY, THAT'S
00:20:19.93\00:20:22.86
IN THE COMMANDMENT
ABOUT IDOLATRY - 'VISITING THE
00:20:22.86\00:20:25.86
INIQUITY OF THE FATHERS UPON THE
SONS UNTO THE THIRD AND FOURTH
00:20:25.86\00:20:29.30
GENERATION OF THEM THAT HATE
ME BUT SHOWING MERCY' - EVERYONE
00:20:29.30\00:20:32.80
GETS HUNG UP ON THE THIRD AND
FOURTH GENERATION - THEY DON'T
00:20:32.80\00:20:34.66
READ THE REST OF IT - 'SHOWING
MERCY UNTO THEM THAT LOVE ME' -
00:20:34.66\00:20:38.53
SEE, DO YOU KNOW IN THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS IT SAYS, 'LOVE ME
00:20:38.53\00:20:41.23
AND KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS'?
THE KEY TO THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:20:41.23\00:20:43.43
IS IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
'LOVE ME AND KEEP MY
00:20:43.43\00:20:46.06
COMMANDMENTS' -
IT'S RIGHT IN THERE.
00:20:46.06\00:20:48.36
IS THERE A BEATITUDE
THAT TALKS ABOUT PURITY?
00:20:48.36\00:20:55.16
MATTHEW 5, VERSE 8,
"BLESSED ARE THE PURE IN HEART
00:20:55.16\00:20:58.86
FOR THEY SHALL SEE GOD."
00:20:58.86\00:21:00.96
AND IS THERE A CONNECTION
BETWEEN PURITY AND THE LAW?
00:21:00.96\00:21:04.16
1 PETER 1:22 - I KNOW, I'M GOING
TO THE NEW TESTAMENT - "SINCE
00:21:04.16\00:21:08.73
YOU HAVE PURIFIED YOUR SOULS
IN OBEYING THE TRUTH THROUGH THE
00:21:08.73\00:21:13.73
SPIRIT IN SINCERE LOVE OF
THE BRETHREN, LOVE ONE ANOTHER
00:21:13.73\00:21:18.03
FERVENTLY WITH A PURE HEART," -
OBEDIENCE AND PURITY - THERE'S A
00:21:18.03\00:21:22.66
CONNECTION THERE WITH THE LAW.
AND THEN JESUS GOES ON TO SAY IN
00:21:22.66\00:21:27.56
LUKE 16 AND THIS IS UNDER THE
SECTION - ACTUALLY, EVERYTHING
00:21:27.56\00:21:31.13
I SAID THUS FAR
WAS AN INTRODUCTION.
00:21:31.13\00:21:33.03
IN LUKE CHAPTER 16, VERSE 17
UNDER 'ONE JOT OR TITTLE': "AND
00:21:33.03\00:21:39.76
IT IS EASIER FOR HEAVEN AND
EARTH TO PASS AWAY THAN FOR ONE
00:21:39.76\00:21:43.33
TITTLE OF THE LAW TO FAIL."
NOW IN OUR - JUST TO MAKE THIS
00:21:43.33\00:21:49.76
SIMILAR TO OUR VERNACULAR - WHEN
WE WRITE, YOU'VE GOT A LITTLE
00:21:49.76\00:21:54.33
DASH OR THE CROSSING OF
THE 'T' - THAT WAS THE JEWISH
00:21:54.33\00:21:58.63
EQUIVALENT, IN THEIR
CHARACTERS, FOR A TITTLE.
00:21:58.63\00:22:00.70
IT WAS A LITTLE - LIKE AN ACCENT
MARK - AND A JOT WAS LIKE WHAT
00:22:00.70\00:22:05.23
WE WOULD CALL THE PERIOD
THAT WE USE ON A SENTENCE.
00:22:05.23\00:22:07.50
IN HEBREW WRITING THEY DID HAVE
THESE LITTLE - THE VERY SMALLEST
00:22:07.50\00:22:10.70
MARKS THEY WOULD MAKE IN THEIR
WRITING - JESUS SAID IT WOULD BE
00:22:10.70\00:22:14.33
EASIER FOR HEAVEN AND EARTH TO
VAPORIZE AND PASS AWAY THAN FOR
00:22:14.33\00:22:20.43
EVEN A JOT OR A TITTLE
TO FAIL FROM THE LAW OF GOD.
00:22:20.43\00:22:23.93
SO IS JESUS SAYING THAT 'I CAME
TO CHANGE OR DO AWAY WITH THE
00:22:23.93\00:22:27.10
LAW'? AND YET, DO YOU
HEAR CHRISTIANS TEACH THAT?
00:22:27.10\00:22:31.40
NOW THERE ARE THINGS IN THE
LAW THAT CHRIST REPLACED IN THAT
00:22:31.40\00:22:36.70
THEY WERE SYMBOLS THAT
POINTED TO HIM: THE LAWS ABOUT
00:22:36.70\00:22:41.16
SACRIFICING LAMBS. DO WE NEED
TO SACRIFICE LAMBS ANYMORE? NO?
00:22:41.16\00:22:46.10
WE DO - IT'S JESUS IS OUR LAMB.
WE ACCEPT HIM AS OUR SACRIFICE,
00:22:46.10\00:22:50.23
RIGHT? AND SO IT'S REALLY
- THOSE THINGS STILL APPLY
00:22:50.23\00:22:53.23
BUT JESUS IS THE LAMB.
AND YOU CAN LOOK AT THE LAWS
00:22:53.23\00:22:56.80
THAT THEY HAD ABOUT THE FEASTS
AND CIRCUMCISION AND PAUL IS
00:22:56.80\00:22:59.30
VERY CLEAR - THOSE LAWS THAT
CAME LATER, THEY WERE SYMBOLIC.
00:22:59.30\00:23:05.06
MATTER OF FACT, THE CEREMONIAL
LAWS AND THE FEAST DAYS, THEY
00:23:05.06\00:23:07.93
ALL CAME AFTER
SIN ENTERED THE WORLD.
00:23:07.93\00:23:12.13
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS REALLY
EXISTED FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.
00:23:12.13\00:23:15.26
WAS IT WRONG TO COMMIT MURDER
BACK IN THE DAYS OF ADAM AND
00:23:15.26\00:23:21.43
EVE? DID GOD LOOK DOWN
ON CAIN KILLING HIS BROTHER?
00:23:21.43\00:23:28.30
WAS ADULTERY WRONG BEFORE THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS WERE WRITTEN?
00:23:28.30\00:23:31.73
DID GOD TELL JOSEPH THAT,
YOU KNOW, MISBEHAVING WITH
00:23:31.73\00:23:37.76
POTIPHAR'S WIFE WOULD BE A SIN?
ISN'T THAT WHAT JOSEPH SAID?
00:23:37.76\00:23:40.63
'HOW CAN I DO THIS
THING AND SIN AGAINST GOD?'
00:23:40.63\00:23:42.36
SO THEY KNEW THAT STEALING
WAS WRONG BEFORE THE TEN
00:23:42.36\00:23:45.70
COMMANDMENTS WERE WRITTEN.
THEY KNEW THAT LYING WAS WRONG.
00:23:45.70\00:23:49.26
AND YOU CAN FIND EXAMPLES OF
THIS EVEN LONG BEFORE THE TEN
00:23:49.26\00:23:51.83
COMMANDMENTS WERE WRITTEN. AND
SO THESE ARE ETERNAL PRINCIPLES.
00:23:51.83\00:23:55.06
THE CEREMONIAL LAWS AND
SOME OF THESE THINGS RELATING TO
00:23:55.06\00:23:57.66
SACRIFICES THAT WERE SHADOWS
- YES, THEY WERE NAILED TO THE
00:23:57.66\00:24:00.60
CROSS. THEY WERE WRITTEN
ON PAPER. THEY POINT TO JESUS.
00:24:00.60\00:24:03.20
BUT THE PRINCIPLES THAT
JESUS GIVES ON THE SERMON ON THE
00:24:03.20\00:24:05.96
MOUNT, THEY'RE
ETERNAL PRINCIPLES.
00:24:05.96\00:24:08.06
ALRIGHT, READ FOR US
ISAIAH 40, VERSE 8 PLEASE.
00:24:08.06\00:24:13.36
>>ISAIAH 40, VERSE 8, "THE GRASS
WITHERS, THE FLOWER FADES, BUT
00:24:13.36\00:24:20.60
THE WORD OF OUR
GOD STANDS FOREVER."
00:24:20.60\00:24:24.40
>>THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
ARE ETERNAL PRINCIPLES.
00:24:24.40\00:24:28.90
IT IS TRUE THAT JESUS HAS
SUMMARIZED THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:24:28.90\00:24:33.90
MATTER OF FACT, SOMEONE LOOK
UP FOR ME MATTHEW 7, VERSE 12.
00:24:33.90\00:24:41.16
WHO GOT THAT?
GOT A HAND OVER HERE.
00:24:41.16\00:24:43.73
LET'S GET YOU A MICROPHONE.
MATTHEW 7 - WE'LL GET TO YOU IN
00:24:43.73\00:24:46.80
JUST A MOMENT -
MATTHEW 7, VERSE 12.
00:24:46.80\00:24:49.63
JESUS DID SUMMARIZE THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS - IF YOU WERE TO
00:24:49.63\00:24:52.66
SUMMARIZE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
IN ONE WORD, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
00:24:52.66\00:24:59.40
LOVE. HOW MANY AGREE?
00:24:59.40\00:25:01.63
AND THEN IF YOU WERE GOING TO
SUMMARIZE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS -
00:25:01.63\00:25:05.06
IF YOU WERE GOING TO DIVIDE THAT
INTO TWO PRINCIPLES, WHAT WOULD
00:25:05.06\00:25:08.20
IT BE? LOVE GOD
WITH ALL YOUR HEART,
00:25:08.20\00:25:11.46
MIND, SOUL AND
STRENGTH AND LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR.
00:25:11.46\00:25:13.13
WELL, THAT'S THE NEW COMMANDMENT
THAT JESUS GAVE THAT REPLACES
00:25:13.13\00:25:16.86
THE OLD. HAVE YOU HEARD THAT?
00:25:16.86\00:25:19.66
WE DON'T NEED TO KEEP THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS BECAUSE JESUS GAVE
00:25:19.66\00:25:21.80
US A NEW COMMANDMENT.
BECAUSE HE SAID, 'A NEW
00:25:21.80\00:25:23.86
COMMANDMENT I GIVE UNTO
YOU.' I MEAN, HE SAID IT.
00:25:23.86\00:25:26.10
BUT THEN WHEN HE ARTICULATES
THE NEW COMMANDMENT -
00:25:26.10\00:25:28.50
WHEN HE STATES
IT, WHAT IS HE DOING?
00:25:28.50\00:25:31.13
LOVE THE LORD GOD WITH ALL YOUR
HEART, MIND, SOUL AND STRENGTH.
00:25:31.13\00:25:33.80
HE'S QUOTING DEUTERONOMY
CHAPTER 6 AND HE SAYS 'LOVE YOUR
00:25:33.80\00:25:37.46
NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF' -
HE'S QUOTING LEVITICUS 19:18.
00:25:37.46\00:25:41.33
SO JESUS, WHEN HE SAYS, 'A NEW
COMMANDMENT' AND THEN HE QUOTES
00:25:41.33\00:25:43.83
THE OLD TESTAMENT, HE QUOTES
MOSES, MORE SPECIFICALLY, HOW
00:25:43.83\00:25:48.33
NEW WAS IT TO THE
JEWS? IT WASN'T NEW.
00:25:48.33\00:25:51.86
HE SAID 'IT'S A NEW PRINCIPLE
FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT ALL
00:25:51.86\00:25:54.66
OF THE LAW IS
SUMMARIZED IN LOVE, RIGHT?
00:25:54.66\00:25:58.46
THIS WOULD PROBABLY BE A GOOD
TIME TO READ THAT NEXT VERSE IF
00:25:58.46\00:26:02.03
WE'RE READY. YEAH, MATTHEW 7:12.
00:26:02.03\00:26:06.33
>>"THEREFORE, WHATEVER YOU WANT
MEN TO DO TO YOU, DO ALSO TO
00:26:06.33\00:26:10.30
THEM, FOR THIS IS THE
LAW AND THE PROPHETS."
00:26:10.30\00:26:13.90
>>ALL OF THE LAW AND THE
PROPHETS ARE NOT DONE AWAY WITH,
00:26:13.90\00:26:16.70
JESUS SAID, THEY ARE SUMMARIZED
IN 'DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD
00:26:16.70\00:26:21.26
HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU'.
00:26:21.26\00:26:22.50
THERE'S A LAW THAT SAYS IF
YOU FIND YOUR NEIGHBOR'S DONKEY
00:26:22.50\00:26:25.50
WANDERING OUT ON ITS OWN, EVEN
IF HE'S YOUR ENEMY, THE BIBLE
00:26:25.50\00:26:29.86
SAYS 'TAKE IT BACK TO HIM.' IT'S
SOMEONE YOU CAN'T STAND - YOU'VE
00:26:29.86\00:26:33.56
JUST GOT THIS DIFFICULT NEIGHBOR
AND HE JUST MAKES YOU MISERABLE
00:26:33.56\00:26:36.33
AND YOU SEE HIS DONKEY'S
WANDERED OFF - YOU CAN SAY, 'OH
00:26:36.33\00:26:39.33
GREAT, I'M GLAD IT'S HAPPENING
TO HIM.' NO, GOD SAYS THAT'S NOT
00:26:39.33\00:26:43.06
THE RIGHT ATTITUDE. GO GET HIS
DONKEY AND BRING IT BACK TO HIM.
00:26:43.06\00:26:46.90
OVERCOME EVIL
WITH GOOD. WELL THAT'S
00:26:46.90\00:26:49.90
THE TEACHING OF JESUS.
THAT'S IN THE LAW OF MOSES.
00:26:49.90\00:26:54.10
WHATEVER YOU WOULD HAVE OTHERS
DO TO YOU, DO ALSO TO THEM.
00:26:54.10\00:26:56.70
IT SUMMARIZES LOVE FOR GOD
AND LOVE FOR YOUR FELLOW MAN.
00:26:56.70\00:27:00.13
NOW, ONE REASON WE KNOW THE LAW
IS NOT DONE AWAY WITH IS IF YOU
00:27:00.13\00:27:03.83
LOOK, FOR INSTANCE, IN
REVELATION 11:19 - REVELATION
00:27:03.83\00:27:09.60
11:19 - IT SAYS, "THEN THE
TEMPLE OF GOD WAS OPENED IN
00:27:09.60\00:27:16.46
HEAVEN, AND THE ARK OF
HIS COVENANT WAS SEEN IN HIS
00:27:16.46\00:27:20.76
TEMPLE." NOW, WHEN IS
THIS HAPPENING, PROPHETICALLY?
00:27:20.76\00:27:27.06
THIS IS HAPPENING, YOU KNOW, IN
THE SEQUENCE OF REVELATION IT'S
00:27:27.06\00:27:31.53
NOT IN THE EARLY DAYS
OF THE EARTH'S HISTORY,
00:27:31.53\00:27:33.70
IT'S IN THE FINAL EVENTS.
'THE TEMPLE OF GOD WAS OPENED IN
00:27:33.70\00:27:37.16
HEAVEN' - CERTAINLY IT'S
AFTER THE TIME OF CHRIST.
00:27:37.16\00:27:39.93
HOW DID THE ARK
GET TO BE IN HEAVEN?
00:27:39.93\00:27:44.66
NOW, I'M GOING TO - I'M GOING
TO GET SOME LETTERS ON THIS.
00:27:44.66\00:27:50.83
WHERE IS THE ARK NOW? THE
ARK - THE ARK, YOU KNOW, THE
00:27:50.83\00:27:59.03
GOLDEN BOX - NOT NOAH'S ARK -
THE GOLDEN BOX THAT HAS THE TEN
00:27:59.03\00:28:02.30
COMMANDMENTS IN IT. AS
NEAR AS WE CAN TELL - AND I
00:28:02.30\00:28:05.20
THINK THERE'S A REFERENCE TO
THIS IN 'PROPHETS AND KINGS'.
00:28:05.20\00:28:08.23
BEFORE NEBUCHADNEZZAR CONQUERED
- BEFORE HE DESTROYED JERUSALEM
00:28:08.23\00:28:12.40
- JEREMIAH, KNOWING IT WAS
COMING, HE CONSPIRED WITH SOME
00:28:12.40\00:28:16.83
OF THE LOYAL PRIESTS - NOT
WANTING THE MOST SACRED NATIONAL
00:28:16.83\00:28:21.53
OBJECT TO BE TAKEN CAPTIVE - YOU
SEE, THE ARK WAS TAKEN CAPTIVE
00:28:21.53\00:28:25.10
ONCE BY THE PHILISTINES -
THEY DIDN'T WANT THAT EVER TO
00:28:25.10\00:28:27.26
HAPPEN AGAIN. THEY KNEW THAT THE
BABYLONIANS WERE GOING TO TAKE
00:28:27.26\00:28:30.63
THE CITY. JEREMIAH TOLD
THEM IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.
00:28:30.63\00:28:32.96
THEY COULDN'T HIDE EVERYTHING
IN THE TEMPLE, BUT THEY TOOK THE
00:28:32.96\00:28:35.66
ARK AND THEY HID IT IN ONE
OF THE MANY CAVES - THERE IS AN
00:28:35.66\00:28:39.63
ABSOLUTE HONEYCOMB OF CAVES AND
TUNNELS UNDERNEATH JERUSALEM.
00:28:39.63\00:28:43.60
EVERY TIME THEY START BUILDING
UNDER JERUSALEM THEY FIND
00:28:43.60\00:28:45.76
ANOTHER CAVE OR TUNNEL.
THEY HAD - THEY HAD GRAVES THAT
00:28:45.76\00:28:49.10
THEY DUG IN AND AROUND THE
CITY. THEY HID IT SOMEWHERE.
00:28:49.10\00:28:54.06
THEY FOUND A VERY
GOOD, OBSCURE SPOT.
00:28:54.06\00:28:57.00
THEY BLOCKED THE ENTRANCE
SOMEHOW - COVERED IT WITH DIRT -
00:28:57.00\00:28:59.03
AND IT HAS NEVER
BEEN FOUND SINCE.
00:28:59.03\00:29:01.43
NO, IT'S NOT IN
EGYPT. IT'S NOT IN ETHIOPIA.
00:29:01.43\00:29:05.00
IT IS STILL SECRETED SOMEWHERE
IN A CAVE, PROBABLY WITHIN A
00:29:05.00\00:29:09.90
STONE'S THROW OF THE
WALLS OF ANCIENT JERUSALEM.
00:29:09.90\00:29:13.56
SO, WHEN IT SAYS 'THE TEMPLE
WAS OPENED IN HEAVEN, I SAW THE
00:29:13.56\00:29:16.83
ARK.' WHICH ONE IS THAT?
EVERYTHING IN THE TEMPLE ON
00:29:16.83\00:29:21.96
EARTH WAS PATTERNED
AFTER THE ORIGINAL IN HEAVEN.
00:29:21.96\00:29:25.26
NOW, WHAT'S IN THE
ARK? THE WORDS OF GOD.
00:29:25.26\00:29:30.53
JUST THINKING TO MYSELF RIGHT
NOW - I DON'T KNOW SO DON'T SAY,
00:29:30.53\00:29:37.70
'PASTOR DOUG IS TEACHING
HERESY.' HOW MANY STONES WERE
00:29:37.70\00:29:41.23
THERE IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?
TWO, RIGHT? IS THAT RIGHT?
00:29:41.23\00:29:46.93
IT SAYS, 'ON TWO
TABLES OF STONE'.
00:29:46.93\00:29:48.66
AND WHICH SIDE OF THE STONE
WAS WRITTEN ON? BOTH SIDES.
00:29:48.66\00:29:53.76
SO WHAT DID GOD DO?
DID HE PUT THE FIRST FOUR
00:29:53.76\00:29:57.23
COMMANDMENTS ON ONE STONE AND
THE LAST SIX COMMANDMENTS ON THE
00:29:57.23\00:30:03.13
OTHER STONE,
FRONT AND BACK? MAYBE.
00:30:03.13\00:30:06.03
LET ME GIVE YOU
SOMETHING ELSE TO THINK ABOUT.
00:30:06.03\00:30:07.83
WHAT IS A COVENANT? A
COVENANT'S A CONTRACT.
00:30:07.83\00:30:11.66
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER SIGNED
A COVENANT TO BUY A HOUSE OR TO
00:30:11.66\00:30:14.10
BORROW MONEY FROM A
BANK OR TO SELL A CAR -
00:30:14.10\00:30:15.86
SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
EVERY NOW AND THEN WE'LL WEAR
00:30:15.86\00:30:18.26
OUT A CAR AND KAREN AND I WILL
SELL IT TO SOMEBODY - AT LEAST
00:30:18.26\00:30:21.56
WE WEAR IT OUT FOR WHAT WE WANT
TO USE IT AND WE'RE LOOKING FOR
00:30:21.56\00:30:24.03
ANOTHER ONE - AND I'LL
SELL IT TO A PRIVATE PARTY.
00:30:24.03\00:30:27.56
AND WHEN WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT OF
SALE I EXPLAIN, 'I'M NOT AN AUTO
00:30:27.56\00:30:32.16
DEALER. I'M NOT SELLING IT WITH
A WARRANTY.' I'M AS HONEST AS I
00:30:32.16\00:30:35.36
CAN AND SAY, 'HERE'S THE
CAR. LET'S WRITE THIS OUT.
00:30:35.36\00:30:38.63
I'LL SIGN IT. YOU
SIGN IT. I GET A COPY.
00:30:38.63\00:30:40.50
YOU GET A COPY.' ISN'T THAT
WHAT YOU DO WITH A COVENANT?
00:30:40.50\00:30:45.16
YOU CAN THINK ABOUT ANY COVENANT
YOU CAN THINK OF IS THAT YOU
00:30:45.16\00:30:47.76
BOTH HAVE A COPY SO YOU CAN
PROVE THIS WAS AN AGREEMENT THAT
00:30:47.76\00:30:50.36
YOU BOTH AGREED TO AND
YOU BOTH SIGNED BOTH COPIES.
00:30:50.36\00:30:52.50
RIGHT? SO IF GOD
MADE A COVENANT WITH
00:30:52.50\00:30:56.63
ISRAEL, HOW MANY
COPIES ARE THERE? MUST BE TWO.
00:30:56.63\00:31:01.23
NOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT
MEANS - AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW.
00:31:01.23\00:31:03.80
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT MEANS THAT
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS WERE TWO
00:31:03.80\00:31:06.03
COPIES OF THE SAME THAT WERE PUT
IN THE ARK OR IF IT MEANS THAT
00:31:06.03\00:31:10.23
IT TOOK TWO STONES,
BOTH SIDES FOR ONE COPY
00:31:10.23\00:31:13.00
AND GOD HAS THE OTHER IN HEAVEN.
00:31:13.00\00:31:16.00
THE ONE IN HEAVEN MAY
NOT BE WRITTEN ON GRANITE.
00:31:16.00\00:31:18.33
GOD DOESN'T NEED TO
CARVE IT OUT OF A STONE.
00:31:18.33\00:31:21.40
I DON'T KNOW
WHAT IT'S WRITTEN ON.
00:31:21.40\00:31:22.46
IT COULD BE. IT COULD
BE WRITTEN ON SOME GEM.
00:31:22.46\00:31:24.43
IT COULD BE ON
SAPPHIRE OR SOMETHING.
00:31:24.43\00:31:26.83
BUT WHY DOES JESUS SAY IT WILL
BE EASIER FOR HEAVEN AND EARTH
00:31:26.83\00:31:31.03
TO PASS AWAY THAN FOR ONE
TITTLE OF THE LAW TO FAIL?
00:31:31.03\00:31:33.46
BECAUSE YOU WOULD HAVE TO GO
TO HEAVEN AND TAKE HIS COPY TO
00:31:33.46\00:31:37.56
DESTROY IT, RIGHT?
00:31:37.56\00:31:40.50
SO I HEARD ONE PASTOR SAY,
'IF YOU LOOK UP AND THE HEAVEN'S
00:31:40.50\00:31:42.76
STILL THERE - IF YOU LOOK DOWN
AND THE EARTH'S STILL THERE,
00:31:42.76\00:31:45.56
THAT MEANS GOD'S LAW IS STILL
THERE AND IT HAS NOT CHANGED.'
00:31:45.56\00:31:49.86
AND, AS I'VE OFTEN SAID, THE
LAW DOESN'T NEED CHANGING, THE
00:31:49.86\00:31:53.73
PURPOSE OF THE GOSPEL IS
TO TRANSFORM OR TO CHANGE US.
00:31:53.73\00:31:57.33
ALRIGHT, NOW WE'RE GOING TO TALK
ABOUT THE SECTION OF THE LAW IN
00:31:57.33\00:32:02.53
THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT.
IF YOU LOOK, FOR INSTANCE, IN
00:32:02.53\00:32:08.36
MATTHEW 22 AND WE READ THROUGH
VERSE 40 - NO, I'M SORRY,
00:32:08.36\00:32:14.00
MATTHEW 22, VERSES 37 TO 40,
"JESUS SAID TO HIM, 'YOU SHALL
00:32:14.00\00:32:20.26
LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL
YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL,
00:32:20.26\00:32:24.13
AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.' THIS IS
THE FIRST AND GREAT COMMANDMENT.
00:32:24.13\00:32:28.06
AND THE SECOND IS LIKE IT:
'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS
00:32:28.06\00:32:31.26
YOURSELF.' ON THESE TWO
COMMANDMENTS HANG ALL THE LAW
00:32:31.26\00:32:35.56
AND THE PROPHETS." NOW I'VE
HEARD SOME PASTORS SAY, 'SEE,
00:32:35.56\00:32:39.53
GOD HUNG THE LAW.' LIKE
YOU MIGHT HANG A HORSE THIEF.
00:32:39.53\00:32:43.96
THAT IT'S BEEN DESTROYED
SOMEHOW - HUNG UP AND SHOT DOWN.
00:32:43.96\00:32:48.93
BUT THAT'S NOT AT
ALL WHAT IT MEANS.
00:32:48.93\00:32:50.93
IT MEANS - IT'S KIND OF
LIKE, HAVE YOU EVER GONE INTO
00:32:50.93\00:32:54.03
SOMEONE'S HOUSE - ESPECIALLY IN
COLDER CLIMATES - AND, YOU KNOW,
00:32:54.03\00:32:58.73
I JUST CAME FROM KANSAS AND YOU
GO UP TO MICHIGAN AND A LOT OF
00:32:58.73\00:33:01.53
THE HOUSES THERE
- YOU DON'T WALK -
00:33:01.53\00:33:03.73
OPEN THE FRONT DOOR
AND WALK IN LIKE YOU DO
00:33:03.73\00:33:05.66
HERE IN CALIFORNIA -
INTO THE LIVING ROOM.
00:33:05.66\00:33:07.50
YOU OPEN THE FRONT DOOR AND YOU
WALK IN LIKE A VESTIBULE BECAUSE
00:33:07.50\00:33:10.10
IT'S SO MUCH COLD WEATHER
THAT YOU NEED A PLACE TO KIND OF
00:33:10.10\00:33:12.46
SHAKE THE SNOW OFF
AND HANG YOUR JACKETS UP.
00:33:12.46\00:33:14.66
YEAH, HOW MANY OF YOU
KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT?
00:33:14.66\00:33:16.70
IT'S LIKE YOU ALMOST HAVE
TWO ENTRANCES TO THE HOUSE.
00:33:16.70\00:33:19.00
OTHERWISE, YOU OPEN THE COLD
DOOR AND THE 40-BELOW-ZERO WIND
00:33:19.00\00:33:22.46
WHISTLES RIGHT THROUGH
THE HOUSE IN AN INSTANT.
00:33:22.46\00:33:24.40
AND YOU HANG UP YOUR COAT - IT'S
A PLACE OF RESPECT TO KEEP IT
00:33:24.40\00:33:28.30
OFF THE GROUND,
AWAY FROM THE MUD.
00:33:28.30\00:33:29.93
IT MEANS EVERYTHING IS HELD
UP BY THESE TWO COMMANDMENTS.
00:33:29.93\00:33:35.03
THESE ARE THE TWO LAWS UPON
WHICH ALL THE OTHER LAWS HANG.
00:33:35.03\00:33:39.03
YOU CAN FIND SOME WAY - LET
ME SAY THIS DIFFERENTLY - PEOPLE
00:33:39.03\00:33:43.66
ARE ALWAYS SAYING, 'YOU KNOW,
THERE'S NOTHING IN THE BIBLE
00:33:43.66\00:33:47.06
THAT SAYS, 'THOU
SHALT NOT SMOKE CIGARETTES.
00:33:47.06\00:33:49.13
NOTHING IN THE BIBLE
SAYS 'THOU SHALL NOT GAMBLE.'
00:33:49.13\00:33:51.73
I GET THESE KIND OF STATEMENTS.
00:33:51.73\00:33:53.26
NOTHING THAT SAYS, 'YOU SHALL
NOT USE HEROIN OR MARIJUANA.
00:33:53.26\00:33:56.66
I ACTUALLY PICKED UP A
HITCHHIKER ONE TIME - SERIOUS -
00:33:56.66\00:34:00.50
ABSOLUTELY SERIOUS -
IT WAS ON HIGHWAY 101.
00:34:00.50\00:34:04.40
HE WAS DRESSED ALL IN WHITE,
HE HAD LONG HAIR, AND HE WAS
00:34:04.40\00:34:07.03
BAREFOOT AND HE WAS
WEARING A WHITE ROBE.
00:34:07.03\00:34:11.40
AND AS I SAW HIM STANDING ON THE
ROAD I THOUGHT, 'YOU KNOW, I'VE
00:34:11.40\00:34:15.76
GOT TO FIND OUT WHAT THE STORY
IS BEHIND THIS SO I'VE GOT TO
00:34:15.76\00:34:18.23
PICK THIS GUY UP.' I
KNEW I WAS IN FOR SOMETHING,
00:34:18.23\00:34:21.90
BUT I THOUGHT,
'HE'S HITCHHIKING.
00:34:21.90\00:34:23.80
HE DOESN'T LOOK DANGEROUS.
HE'S PRETTY SPARTANLY DRESSED.
00:34:23.80\00:34:28.33
SO I PICKED HIM UP AND WE DROVE
DOWN THE ROAD FOR A LITTLE WHILE
00:34:28.33\00:34:30.56
AND HE SAID - SOMEHOW THE
SUBJECT OF RELIGION CAME UP.
00:34:30.56\00:34:37.63
I DON'T KNOW, I THINK I
HAD A BIBLE ON MY DASHBOARD.
00:34:37.63\00:34:39.86
HE SAID, 'OH, YOU'RE A
CHRISTIAN.' I SAID, 'YEAH.' AND
00:34:39.86\00:34:42.96
HE SAID, 'DO YOU BELIEVE
THE BIBLE?' I SAID 'ABSOLUTELY.
00:34:42.96\00:34:45.76
EVERY WORD.' HE SAID, 'THEN
WHY DO YOU GOT LEATHER ON YOUR
00:34:45.76\00:34:50.70
BIBLE?' I SAID, 'PARDON ME?'
00:34:50.70\00:34:55.00
HE SAID, 'IF YOU REALLY BELIEVED
THE BIBLE' - HE SAYS - 'YOU
00:34:55.00\00:34:57.00
SHOULDN'T HAVE THOSE FILTHY
LEATHER SHOES ON.' HE SAYS,
00:34:57.00\00:35:00.83
'YOU'RE PROBABLY WEARING A
LEATHER BELT TOO.' 'AS A MATTER
00:35:00.83\00:35:03.20
OF FACT, I AM.' AND HE
SAID, 'YOU KNOW, YOU'RE KILLING
00:35:03.20\00:35:06.70
ANIMALS BY DOING THAT.' AND I
SAID, 'IT MIGHT SURPRISE YOU TO
00:35:06.70\00:35:11.20
KNOW I'M A VEGETARIAN.' HE SAYS,
'WHY ARE YOU DOING ALL THAT?'
00:35:11.20\00:35:15.26
AND HE WAS OF THIS GROUP
OF CHRISTIANS THAT NOT ONLY
00:35:15.26\00:35:18.83
BELIEVED YOU SHOULD NOT WEAR ANY
LEATHER, BUT HE ALSO BELIEVED
00:35:18.83\00:35:23.70
THAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO SMOKE
A LOT OF MARIJUANA AT THE SAME
00:35:23.70\00:35:27.16
TIME. AND SO -
AND I DON'T REMEMBER
00:35:27.16\00:35:33.36
HOW THAT CAME UP BUT HE SAID,
'DO YOU PARTAKE OF' - BUT IT WAS
00:35:33.36\00:35:36.20
HIS RELIGION - HE SAID, 'YOU
KNOW GOD REVEALS HIMSELF THROUGH
00:35:36.20\00:35:39.23
THE THINGS HE'S MADE AND HE
SAID HE MADE EVERY HERB FOR US.'
00:35:39.23\00:35:42.36
AND SO HE SMOKED
MARIJUANA. A LOT OF IT.
00:35:42.36\00:35:46.00
AND WHEN HE GOT IN THE
CAR - I COULD TELL RIGHT AWAY.
00:35:46.00\00:35:49.56
BECAUSE I REMEMBER
WHAT IT SMELLED LIKE.
00:35:49.56\00:35:52.73
AND I THOUGHT, 'BOY THAT WAS
VERY INTERESTING.' HE WAS USING
00:35:52.73\00:35:54.83
THE BIBLE. BUT I
MEET PEOPLE THAT SAY -
00:35:54.83\00:35:58.03
THEY TRY TO USE
THE BIBLE TO SAY THAT.
00:35:58.03\00:35:59.53
WELL, YOU KNOW, THERE'S
PRINCIPLES IN THE BIBLE.
00:35:59.53\00:36:01.60
I USED TO USE THE BIBLE TO
SAY, 'IT'S NOT WHAT GOES IN YOUR
00:36:01.60\00:36:04.03
MOUTH THAT DEFILES YOU SO
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH
00:36:04.03\00:36:06.40
SMOKING.' BUT IF WHAT GOES
IN YOUR MOUTH DEFILES WHAT COMES
00:36:06.40\00:36:11.20
OUT OF YOUR MOUTH, THEN IT'S
WRONG. FIRST OF ALL, WHAT IT
00:36:11.20\00:36:14.90
DOES TO YOUR BREATH IS ONE
THING. BUT WHEN A PERSON DRINKS
00:36:14.90\00:36:18.90
- DOES WHAT GOES IN
DEFILE WHAT COMES OUT? YEAH.
00:36:18.90\00:36:24.16
AND SO I - I WAS TRYING TO SHARE
SOME OF THE OTHER PRINCIPLES
00:36:24.16\00:36:27.46
WITH THIS FELLOW THAT -
OF NATURAL LIVING - ANYWAY,
00:36:27.46\00:36:32.00
IT WAS JUST VERY INTERESTING.
BUT I DON'T REALLY THINK THAT
00:36:32.00\00:36:35.10
THERE'S A SIN YOU COULD
NAME THAT IS SOMEHOW NOT COVERED
00:36:35.10\00:36:40.06
UNDER THE CANOPY OF
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:36:40.06\00:36:43.80
I BELIEVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
ARE SO BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN -
00:36:43.80\00:36:46.70
THEY'RE CONCISE,
THEY'RE SUCCINCT, BUT THEY ARE
00:36:46.70\00:36:50.83
COMPREHENSIVE IN THAT IN
SOME WAY, THE PRINCIPLE 'THOU
00:36:50.83\00:36:55.26
SHALL NOT KILL' - WHEN YOU DO
THINGS LIKE SMOKE CIGARETTES AND
00:36:55.26\00:36:59.06
OTHER THINGS, YOU ARE
SLOWLY KILLING YOURSELF.
00:36:59.06\00:37:03.00
YOU CAN'T REALLY NAME A SIN -
THOU SHALL NOT STEAL - GAMBLING
00:37:03.00\00:37:07.56
- YOU'RE TRYING TO GET RICH
QUICK AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHERS
00:37:07.56\00:37:10.03
WHO ARE BECOMING
ADDICTED AND LOSING EVERYTHING.
00:37:10.03\00:37:13.96
AND SO FOR YOU TO GET
RICH QUICK, ANOTHER PERSON GETS
00:37:13.96\00:37:17.43
NOTHING FOR THEIR MONEY.
IT'S NOT LIKE MAKING A PURCHASE.
00:37:17.43\00:37:21.43
THEY GET NOTHING FOR THEIR MONEY
AND YOU DO NOTHING TO GET THEIR
00:37:21.43\00:37:25.00
MONEY - IF YOU
HAPPEN TO WIN THAT WAY.
00:37:25.00\00:37:27.53
AND SO, THERE'S A PRINCIPLE IN
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS THAT WOULD
00:37:27.53\00:37:30.86
VIRTUALLY COVER ANYTHING AND SO
I'VE ACTUALLY HEARD YOUNG PEOPLE
00:37:30.86\00:37:36.00
SAY, 'WELL, YEAH, THE BIBLE SAYS
'DON'T COMMIT ADULTERY,' BUT IT
00:37:36.00\00:37:38.96
DOESN'T SAY YOU CAN'T SLEEP WITH
ANOTHER PERSON IF NEITHER OF YOU
00:37:38.96\00:37:41.50
ARE MARRIED. I SAID,
'NO, THE 'THOU SHALL NOT
00:37:41.50\00:37:45.33
COMMIT ADULTERY' COMMANDMENT
COVERS FORNICATION AS WELL
00:37:45.33\00:37:48.86
BECAUSE JESUS
USES IT THAT WAY TOO.
00:37:48.86\00:37:51.00
AND SO, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE
BROAD AND COMPREHENSIVE AND THEY
00:37:51.00\00:37:54.80
COVER EVERYTHING.
LUKE CHAPTER 24, VERSE 27.
00:37:54.80\00:38:00.33
CHRIST, WHEN HE BEGAN TO TEACH,
"AND BEGINNING AT MOSES AND ALL
00:38:00.33\00:38:05.46
THE PROPHETS, HE EXPOUNDED
TO THEM IN ALL THE SCRIPTURES' -
00:38:05.46\00:38:10.53
HOW MANY OF THE SCRIPTURES?
ALL THE PROPHETS, ALL THE
00:38:10.53\00:38:14.03
SCRIPTURES - THE
THINGS "CONCERNING HIMSELF."
00:38:14.03\00:38:17.06
THAT WAS LUKE 24:27 - THE
STATEMENT JESUS MAKES TO THE TWO
00:38:17.06\00:38:20.73
DISCIPLES ON THE ROAD TO
EMMAUS. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
00:38:20.73\00:38:24.26
SO THE LAW OF CHRIST, DOES IT
CONFLICT WITH THE LAW OF GOD IN
00:38:24.26\00:38:31.40
THE OLD TESTAMENT? THE
LAW OF CHRIST AND THE LAW OF
00:38:31.40\00:38:34.93
GOD IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
ARE IN PERFECT HARMONY.
00:38:34.93\00:38:37.16
WHEN JESUS WANTED TO PROVE HE
WAS THE MESSIAH, HE TOOK THOSE
00:38:37.16\00:38:41.36
TWO DISCIPLES AND HE POINTED
THEM BACK TO THE LAW AND THE
00:38:41.36\00:38:46.53
PROPHETS. AND HE
SAID, 'ALL OF THIS WAS
00:38:46.53\00:38:49.90
POINTING TO ME.' IN FACT, IF YOU
LOOK - THIS IS A VERSE, I THINK,
00:38:49.90\00:38:55.80
IS OFTEN MISUNDERSTOOD - MATTHEW
11:13 - MATTHEW 11:13 - YOU'LL
00:38:55.80\00:39:01.56
FIND A PARALLEL VERSE
FOR THIS IN LUKE ALSO.
00:39:01.56\00:39:05.93
"FOR ALL THE PROPHETS AND
THE LAW PROPHESIED UNTIL JOHN."
00:39:05.93\00:39:11.13
NOW WHAT DID HE MEAN BY
THAT? YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE HEARD?
00:39:11.13\00:39:14.23
I'VE HEARD PEOPLE SAY,
'WITH JOHN THE BAPTIST, THE TEN
00:39:14.23\00:39:17.30
COMMANDMENTS IN THE OLD
TESTAMENT LAW ENDED.' THEY SAY,
00:39:17.30\00:39:22.00
'WITH THE TEN COMMANDMENTS'
- I'M SORRY - 'WITH JOHN THE
00:39:22.00\00:39:24.53
BAPTIST'S MINISTRY - WHEN
HE INTRODUCED JESUS' - HE SAYS,
00:39:24.53\00:39:27.30
'ALL OF THAT STUFF REACHED UNTIL
THE TIME OF CHRIST AND THEN IT
00:39:27.30\00:39:29.80
ENDED WITH JOHN
THE BAPTIST.' REALLY?
00:39:29.80\00:39:33.80
THEN WHY DID JESUS KEEP IT?
AND THE OTHER THING IS - IT'S
00:39:33.80\00:39:37.76
REALLY SAYING ALL OF THE LAW AND
ALL OF THE PROPHETS POINTED TO
00:39:37.76\00:39:44.73
THE TIME WHEN JOHN WOULD
ANNOUNCE, 'HERE IS THE MESSIAH.
00:39:44.73\00:39:50.96
HERE IS THE FULFILLMENT OF ALL
THAT THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS
00:39:50.96\00:39:54.13
HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT.' IT DOESN'T
MEAN THAT ALL OF THE LAW AND THE
00:39:54.13\00:39:57.16
PROPHETS ENDED WITH JOHN
THE BAPTIST, IT MEANS THAT THE
00:39:57.16\00:40:00.26
ANNOUNCEMENT OF JOHN THE BAPTIST
POINTED TO ALL THAT THE LAW AND
00:40:00.26\00:40:03.86
THE PROPHETS HAD ENCOMPASSED.
SO JESUS FULFILLS ALL THAT -
00:40:03.86\00:40:08.03
MEANING HE FILLS IT ALL FULL
- HE DOESN'T DO AWAY WITH IT.
00:40:08.03\00:40:12.56
THAT'S AGAIN - IT SAYS HE CAME
TO MAGNIFY THE LAW AND TO MAKE
00:40:12.56\00:40:17.20
IT HONORABLE. ALRIGHT, SOMEONE
- WHO HAS JOHN 15, VERSE 10?
00:40:17.20\00:40:23.46
WE'VE GOT A HAND OVER HERE.
WE'LL GET YOU A MICROPHONE.
00:40:23.46\00:40:26.40
JOHN 15, VERSE
10. NOW, IF YOU LOOK,
00:40:26.40\00:40:31.53
FOR INSTANCE, IN THE BEATITUDES.
00:40:31.53\00:40:34.93
WHEN WE READ MARK 7, VERSE 9
- WHAT IS THE FIFTH COMMANDMENT?
00:40:34.93\00:40:48.76
'HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR
MOTHER' - ACTUALLY I WAS TALKING
00:40:48.76\00:40:51.90
ABOUT - I SAID, WHEN WE LOOK
AT THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT - I'M
00:40:51.90\00:40:55.23
LOOKING IN MARK'S VERSION OF THE
SERMON ON THE MOUNT AND JESUS
00:40:55.23\00:40:58.23
SAYS, IN MARK 7, VERSE 9,
"ALL TOO WELL YOU REJECT THE
00:40:58.23\00:41:02.43
COMMANDMENT OF GOD THAT
YOU MIGHT KEEP YOUR TRADITION.
00:41:02.43\00:41:05.90
FOR MOSES SAID, 'HONOR
YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER';" -
00:41:05.90\00:41:08.60
ISN'T THAT ONE OF
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?
00:41:08.60\00:41:10.16
"AND, 'HE WHO CURSES FATHER
OR MOTHER, LET HIM BE PUT TO
00:41:10.16\00:41:12.56
DEATH.' BUT YOU SAY, 'IF A MAN
SAYS TO HIS FATHER OR MOTHER,
00:41:12.56\00:41:17.83
'WHATEVER PROFIT YOU MIGHT HAVE
RECEIVED FROM ME IS CORBAN' -
00:41:17.83\00:41:20.76
(THAT IS, A GIFT TO GOD).
THEN YOU NO LONGER LET HIM DO
00:41:20.76\00:41:22.60
ANYTHING FOR HIS FATHER OR HIS
MOTHER, MAKING THE WORD OF GOD
00:41:22.60\00:41:25.13
OF NO EFFECT THROUGH YOUR
TRADITION." NOW, WHAT DOES
00:41:25.13\00:41:28.13
JESUS CALL THE LAW OF
MOSES? THE WORD OF GOD.
00:41:28.13\00:41:32.03
HE SAID, 'YOU ARE MAKING THE
WORD OF GOD OF NONE EFFECT.' HE
00:41:32.03\00:41:34.76
DIDN'T SAY 'THAT
OLD LAW OF MOSES'.
00:41:34.76\00:41:36.66
HE TALKS ABOUT IT AS
IT IS STILL IN FORCE.
00:41:36.66\00:41:39.43
SHOULD PEOPLE STILL
HONOR THEIR FATHER AND MOTHER?
00:41:39.43\00:41:42.53
LET ME EXPLAIN WHAT
CHRIST IS TALKING ABOUT HERE.
00:41:42.53\00:41:45.66
THE JEWISH LEADERS HAD
FABRICATED A LAW WHERE YOU COULD
00:41:45.66\00:41:51.33
PRONOUNCE 'CORBAN' - YOU WOULD
MAKE THIS OATH AND PRONOUNCE
00:41:51.33\00:41:55.36
'CORBAN' OVER YOUR PROPERTY AND
THAT MEANT, 'I'M GIVING ALL OF
00:41:55.36\00:41:58.36
MY ESTATE TO THE CHURCH - TO THE
TEMPLE - WHEN I DIE.' AND PEOPLE
00:41:58.36\00:42:04.43
DID THIS BECAUSE
IT CREATED A LOOPHOLE.
00:42:04.43\00:42:06.50
THAT MEANT YOU COULD USE IT AS
LONG AS YOU LIVE, TO TAKE CARE
00:42:06.50\00:42:10.30
OF YOURSELF, BUT YOU COULDN'T
GIVE IT TO ANYBODY ELSE BECAUSE
00:42:10.30\00:42:14.60
IT HAD BEEN DEDICATED TO GOD.
MEANING, WHEN YOUR MOM AND DAD
00:42:14.60\00:42:17.96
GOT OLD AND THEY COULDN'T WORK
ANYMORE, YOU'D SAY, 'MOM, DAD,
00:42:17.96\00:42:20.36
I'M SORRY, I CAN'T HELP YOU WITH
MY ESTATE BECAUSE I'VE GIVEN IT
00:42:20.36\00:42:23.90
TO GOD.' NOW, DOESN'T
THAT SOUND OUTRAGEOUS?
00:42:23.90\00:42:28.96
BUT THE PRIESTS HAD DEVELOPED
THIS LAW SO THAT PEOPLE COULD
00:42:28.96\00:42:32.33
USE THEIR MONEY AS LONG AS THEY
WOULD GIVE THE - WHEN THEY DIED
00:42:32.33\00:42:35.76
THEY WOULD GIVE IT ALL TO
THE CHURCH - WHATEVER WAS LEFT -
00:42:35.76\00:42:39.43
THEIR PROPERTY - THEIR HOUSE.
00:42:39.43\00:42:41.23
AND THEY COULDN'T HELP THEIR
MOTHER AND FATHER IN THEIR OLD
00:42:41.23\00:42:43.16
AGE AND JESUS
SAID, 'YOU'RE HYPOCRITES.
00:42:43.16\00:42:46.40
YOU'RE BREAKING THE COMMANDMENT
OF GOD THAT SAYS, 'HONOR YOUR
00:42:46.40\00:42:48.63
FATHER AND MOTHER' AND YOU'RE
NOT CARING FOR THEM IN THEIR AGE
00:42:48.63\00:42:51.76
AND INFIRMITY AND YOU'RE
CLAIMING PIETY AND YOU'RE
00:42:51.76\00:42:54.86
PUTTING TRADITION AHEAD OF THE
COMMANDMENT OF GOD.' SO, HOW DID
00:42:54.86\00:42:57.26
JESUS FEEL ABOUT THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS IN HIS TEACHING?
00:42:57.26\00:42:59.80
DID HE DO AWAY WITH IT?
OR WAS HE SAYING, 'NO, YOU'VE
00:42:59.80\00:43:03.16
GOT TO SWEEP ASIDE THE
MAN-MADE TRADITIONS AND MAKE IT
00:43:03.16\00:43:05.46
HONORABLE. HE CAME
TO MAGNIFY THE LAW AND
00:43:05.46\00:43:08.00
MAKE IT HONORABLE.
OKAY, WE HAVE JOHN 15:10 -
00:43:08.00\00:43:10.70
WHERE WAS THAT? OVER HERE, MIKE.
00:43:10.70\00:43:13.63
>>JOHN 15:10, "IF
YOU KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS,
00:43:13.63\00:43:17.53
YOU SHALL ABIDE IN MY LOVE,
EVEN AS I HAVE KEPT MY FATHER'S
00:43:17.53\00:43:21.53
COMMANDMENTS AND
ABIDE IN HIS LOVE."
00:43:21.53\00:43:24.73
>>ALRIGHT NOW, IF YOU THINK OLD
TESTAMENT GOT THE LAW OF GOD THE
00:43:24.73\00:43:28.93
FATHER - NEW TESTAMENT GOT THE
LAW OF JESUS CHRIST - THEY'RE
00:43:28.93\00:43:33.00
DIFFERENT LAWS -
WHICH LAW DID JESUS KEEP?
00:43:33.00\00:43:37.43
CHRIST SAID, 'IF YOU LOVE ME
YOU'LL KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS EVEN
00:43:37.43\00:43:40.00
AS I HAVE KEPT MY FATHER'S
COMMANDMENTS.' SO, DID JESUS
00:43:40.00\00:43:44.66
KEEP THE LAWS IN THE
OLD TESTAMENT? DID HE?
00:43:44.66\00:43:49.13
AND THEN THE BIBLE SAYS,
'WHOEVER SAYS THAT HE FOLLOWS
00:43:49.13\00:43:52.56
HIM OUGHT TO WALK
EVEN AS HE WALKED.'
00:43:52.56\00:43:56.00
SO, IF JESUS KEPT THAT
THEN WE SHOULD KEEP IT.
00:43:56.00\00:43:59.20
NOW, IT'S NOT TALKING ABOUT
THE SACRIFICING OF LAMBS, IT'S
00:43:59.20\00:44:01.40
TALKING ABOUT THE PRINCIPLES OF
THE LAW THAT YOU FIND IN THE OLD
00:44:01.40\00:44:04.93
TESTAMENT. HE
DIDN'T DO AWAY WITH IT.
00:44:04.93\00:44:07.13
LOOK - AGAIN, JOHN 14:15 - HOW
MANY BELIEVE IT'S IMPORTANT TO
00:44:07.13\00:44:10.70
RECEIVE THE
BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT?
00:44:10.70\00:44:13.50
HOW DO YOU GET THE HOLY SPIRIT?
00:44:13.50\00:44:16.63
JOHN 14:15, "IF YOU LOVE ME KEEP
MY COMMANDMENTS" - AND WHAT'S
00:44:16.63\00:44:22.86
THE REST OF THAT SAY? -
"AND I WILL PRAY MY FATHER AND
00:44:22.86\00:44:25.46
HE WILL SEND YOU ANOTHER
COMFORTER, EVEN THE SPIRIT."
00:44:25.46\00:44:29.50
THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT GOD
GIVES HIS SPIRIT TO THOSE THAT
00:44:29.50\00:44:33.20
OBEY HIM - ACTS CHAPTER
4. THE SPIRIT'S A POWER.
00:44:33.20\00:44:36.73
GOD CANNOT ENTRUST THAT POWER TO
PEOPLE THAT WILL NOT SUBMIT TO
00:44:36.73\00:44:39.60
HIS WILL. AND THE
PERFECT EXPRESSION OF
00:44:39.60\00:44:42.36
GOD'S WILL IS HIS LAW: 'YEA, I
LOVE TO DO THY WILL; THY LAW IS
00:44:42.36\00:44:47.36
IN MY HEART.' THINK THAT'S
PSALM 119, VERSE 45 - HUH?
00:44:47.36\00:44:54.36
40, VERSE 8 - PSALM 40, VERSE
8 - THAT'S WHAT IT IS, YEAH.
00:44:54.36\00:44:57.86
SO, YEAH - PSALM - THE OTHER ONE
I GAVE YOU IS 'I WILL WALK AT
00:44:57.86\00:45:00.83
LIBERTY FOR I KEEP THY
PRECEPTS.' AND SO THE LAW OF GOD
00:45:00.83\00:45:05.50
NEEDS TO BE IN OUR HEARTS.
ONE MORE: 1 JOHN 5, VERSE 3,
00:45:05.50\00:45:08.76
"FOR THIS IS THE LOVE OF GOD,
THAT WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS.
00:45:08.76\00:45:13.86
AND HIS COMMANDMENTS
ARE NOT BURDENSOME."
00:45:13.86\00:45:16.46
NOW IS JOHN - THIS IS JOHN, THE
APOSTLE OF LOVE - IS HE MAKING A
00:45:16.46\00:45:19.93
DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE LAW OF
GOD - THE TEN COMMANDMENTS - AND
00:45:19.93\00:45:23.76
THE LAW OF JESUS? OR IS HE
SAYING THEY'RE ONE AND THE SAME?
00:45:23.76\00:45:27.10
AND THIS IS HOW WE SHOW
THE LOVE OF GOD, BY OBEYING HIS
00:45:27.10\00:45:29.76
COMMANDMENTS. IF YOU LOVE
SOMEONE - ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE
00:45:29.76\00:45:34.10
A SUPERIOR - AND YOU KNOW
THAT YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING
00:45:34.10\00:45:38.50
THAT DISAPPOINTS THEM - THAT
IS GOOD TO DO - THEN YOU'RE NOT
00:45:38.50\00:45:44.40
SHOWING LOVE FOR THEM.
ALRIGHT, LET'S GO TO VERSE -
00:45:44.40\00:45:50.63
MATTHEW 15, VERSE 9, "AND IN
VAIN THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING
00:45:50.63\00:45:55.10
AS DOCTRINES THE
COMMANDMENTS OF MEN."
00:45:55.10\00:45:57.73
WHENEVER WE PUT
MAN-MADE DOCTRINES AHEAD OF THE
00:45:57.73\00:46:01.33
COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, JESUS SAYS
WE'RE WORSHIPING HIM IN VAIN.
00:46:01.33\00:46:05.70
CAN YOU THINK OF SOME LAWS
THAT PEOPLE ARE KEEPING IN VAIN?
00:46:05.70\00:46:09.20
DO SOMETIMES PEOPLE
KEEP THE WRONG SABBATH?
00:46:09.20\00:46:12.43
AND THEY THINK THEY'RE
KEEPING THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD.
00:46:12.43\00:46:16.33
IT'S MAN MADE.
00:46:16.33\00:46:17.60
ALRIGHT, JUST TO QUICKLY SHOW
YOU SOME OF THE OTHER EXAMPLES
00:46:17.60\00:46:20.06
OF HOW THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT
SUPPORTS THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST
00:46:20.06\00:46:24.93
IN HIS LAW, IF YOU LOOK, FOR
INSTANCE, IN MATTHEW CHAPTER 5,
00:46:24.93\00:46:28.46
VERSE 21 - LET'S
GO THERE REAL QUICK.
00:46:28.46\00:46:31.23
MATTHEW 5, VERSE 21 - IT SAYS,
"YOU HAVE HEARD THAT IT WAS SAID
00:46:31.23\00:46:37.16
TO THOSE OF OLD, 'YOU SHALL
NOT MURDER'" - NOW WHERE IS THAT
00:46:37.16\00:46:39.50
WRITTEN? THAT'S IN THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS, RIGHT?
00:46:39.50\00:46:43.93
"YOU HAVE HEARD IT SAID BY THOSE
OF OLD, 'YOU SHALL NOT MURDER',
00:46:43.93\00:46:46.93
AND WHOEVER MURDERS WILL BE IN
DANGER OF THE JUDGMENT.' BUT I
00:46:46.93\00:46:51.53
SAY TO YOU THAT WHOEVER IS ANGRY
WITH HIS BROTHER WITHOUT A CAUSE
00:46:51.53\00:46:55.10
SHALL BE IN
DANGER OF THE JUDGMENT.
00:46:55.10\00:46:56.83
AND WHOEVER SAYS TO
HIS BROTHER, 'RACA!'
00:46:56.83\00:46:58.53
SHALL BE IN
DANGER OF THE COUNCIL.
00:46:58.53\00:47:00.26
BUT WHOEVER SAYS, 'YOU FOOL!'"
- THAT WORD 'FOOL' THERE MEANS
00:47:00.26\00:47:03.43
'YOU'RE WORTHLESS' - "'SHALL BE
IN DANGER OF HELL FIRE.'" I'VE
00:47:03.43\00:47:08.03
JUST GOT TO PAUSE RIGHT HERE
AND EXPLAIN SOMETHING: DID JESUS
00:47:08.03\00:47:10.43
EVER CALL THE DISCIPLES FOOLS?
HE SAID, 'OH FOOLISH ONES' - HE
00:47:10.43\00:47:16.60
DID SEVERAL TIMES - IT'S A
DIFFERENT KIND OF EMPHASIS.
00:47:16.60\00:47:20.36
CHRIST IS SAYING,
'DON'T EVER SAY TO SOMEONE
00:47:20.36\00:47:21.90
'YOU'RE WORTHLESS'. AND
THE OTHER ONE IS REALLY TALKING
00:47:21.90\00:47:24.13
ABOUT SOMEBODY JUST
NOT KNOWING THE WORD.
00:47:24.13\00:47:27.30
IT'S AN
IGNORANCE OR LACK OF FAITH.
00:47:27.30\00:47:29.93
OTHERWISE IT WOULD
SEEM LIKE A CONFLICT HERE.
00:47:29.93\00:47:33.50
"THEREFORE IF YOU BRING YOUR
GIFT TO THE ALTAR, AND THERE
00:47:33.50\00:47:36.50
REMEMBER THAT YOUR BROTHER
HAS SOMETHING AGAINST YOU, LEAVE
00:47:36.50\00:47:40.16
YOUR GIFT THERE" - NOW
HE'S TALKING ABOUT MURDER.
00:47:40.16\00:47:42.26
WHY DOES HE SAY, 'BRING
YOUR GIFT TO THE ALTAR'?
00:47:42.26\00:47:45.23
WHERE DID THE
FIRST MURDER TAKE PLACE?
00:47:45.23\00:47:50.76
TWO BROTHERS BROUGHT GIFTS TO
THE ALTAR AND THEY HAD ANIMOSITY
00:47:50.76\00:47:54.36
BETWEEN THEMSELVES
AND ONE KILLED THE OTHER.
00:47:54.36\00:47:57.96
DO PEOPLE SOMETIMES COME TO
CHURCH THAT ARE BROTHERS AND
00:47:57.96\00:48:00.06
SISTERS THAT HAVE ANGER
TOWARDS EACH OTHER? AND JESUS
00:48:00.06\00:48:04.13
- THEY'VE GOT MURDEROUS
THOUGHTS IN THEIR HEARTS.
00:48:04.13\00:48:06.93
SO IS JESUS DOING AWAY WITH THE
LAW THAT SAYS, 'THOU SHALL NOT
00:48:06.93\00:48:09.63
MURDER' IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?
OR IS HE EXPANDING IT?
00:48:09.63\00:48:13.50
SEE, HE'S SHOWING THERE'S
NOT ONLY THE LETTER OF THE LAW,
00:48:13.50\00:48:16.66
THERE'S THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW.
THERE'S NOT ONLY THE ACTION OF
00:48:16.66\00:48:19.70
DISOBEDIENCE, THERE'S THE
ATTITUDE OF DISOBEDIENCE THAT
00:48:19.70\00:48:23.76
FIRST HAPPENS THAT LEADS
TO THE ACTION OF DISOBEDIENCE.
00:48:23.76\00:48:26.56
AND I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME BUT
I WANT TO SAY THIS TO JUST MAKE
00:48:26.56\00:48:30.43
IT CLEAR. SOME
PEOPLE SAY, 'YOU GUYS - YOU
00:48:30.43\00:48:35.03
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHRISTIANS
YOU MAKE A BIG DEAL ABOUT
00:48:35.03\00:48:37.70
KEEPING THE LETTER OF THE LAW.
I KEEP THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW.
00:48:37.70\00:48:41.13
YOU WORSHIP GOD ON THE SEVENTH
DAY. I WORSHIP GOD EVERY DAY.
00:48:41.13\00:48:44.00
I KEEP THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW.'
AND I SAY, 'WELL, NO, YOU'RE NOT
00:48:44.00\00:48:48.26
REALLY KEEPING THE SPIRIT
OR THE LETTER. YES, IT IS TRUE,
00:48:48.26\00:48:51.53
"COME UNTO ME AND I WILL
GIVE YOU REST' - AND THAT'S THE
00:48:51.53\00:48:53.43
SPIRIT OF THE LAW, BUT WHENEVER
YOU KEEP THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW
00:48:53.43\00:48:55.46
YOU'LL ALWAYS KEEP THE
LETTER OF THE LAW. FOLLOW ME.
00:48:55.46\00:48:59.26
THE LETTER OF THE LAW
SAYS, 'DO NOT COMMIT MURDER'.
00:48:59.26\00:49:02.83
THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW SAYS, 'DO
NOT BE ANGRY WITH YOUR BROTHER
00:49:02.83\00:49:05.46
WITHOUT A CAUSE.' IF YOU SAY,
'I'M MORE SPIRITUAL THAN YOU AND
00:49:05.46\00:49:08.96
I KEEP THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW -
I'M NOT ANGRY WITH MY BROTHER IN
00:49:08.96\00:49:11.40
MY HEART - YES, I MAY ACTUALLY
MURDER HIM OR HER, BUT I'M NOT
00:49:11.40\00:49:14.53
ANGRY IN MY HEART.' YOU'RE A
LIAR BECAUSE IF YOU'RE BREAKING
00:49:14.53\00:49:19.56
THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW - IF
YOU'RE BREAKING THE LETTER OF
00:49:19.56\00:49:21.83
THE LAW YOU ARE DEFINITELY
BREAKING THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW.
00:49:21.83\00:49:25.16
THE LETTER OF THE LAW SAYS 'THOU
SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY.' THE
00:49:25.16\00:49:29.56
SPIRIT OF THE LAW SAYS - JESUS
SAYS THIS ON THE SERMON ON THE
00:49:29.56\00:49:32.33
MOUNT - 'IF YOU LOOK UPON A
WOMAN TO LUST AFTER HER, YOU'RE
00:49:32.33\00:49:36.40
COMMITTING ADULTERY WITH HER
IN YOUR HEART.' AND, BY THE WAY,
00:49:36.40\00:49:38.76
THAT WORKS BOTH WAYS - MAN WITH
A WOMAN, A WOMAN WITH A MAN.
00:49:38.76\00:49:42.50
SO IF A PERSON SAYS, 'OH, I
JUST KEEP THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW.
00:49:42.50\00:49:46.90
I DON'T LOOK AND I DON'T LUST.
I DON'T THINK IT IN MY HEART.
00:49:46.90\00:49:49.50
YES, I AM ACTUALLY COMMITTING
ADULTERY EVERY DAY BUT I DON'T
00:49:49.50\00:49:51.80
THINK IT. I'M
BREAKING THE LETTER BUT I'M
00:49:51.80\00:49:53.80
KEEPING THE
SPIRIT.' CAN YOU DO THAT?
00:49:53.80\00:49:57.30
SO, PEOPLE WHO SAY, 'OH, I'M
KEEPING THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW.
00:49:57.30\00:50:00.03
I'M RESTING IN JESUS.
YES, I BREAK EVERY SABBATH.
00:50:00.03\00:50:02.96
I WORK EVERY SABBATH BUT
I'M RESTING IN JESUS.' NO YOU'RE
00:50:02.96\00:50:06.16
NOT. YOU'RE NOT
KEEPING THE SPIRIT
00:50:06.16\00:50:07.83
AND YOU'RE NOT
KEEPING THE LETTER.
00:50:07.83\00:50:09.23
BY THE WAY, THE COMMANDMENT
DOESN'T SAY 'WORSHIP GOD SEVEN
00:50:09.23\00:50:13.50
DAYS A WEEK, IT SAYS, 'WORK
SIX DAYS A WEEK AND REST ON THE
00:50:13.50\00:50:17.06
SEVENTH DAY.' AND IF A PERSON
SAYS THAT THEY'RE WORSHIPING GOD
00:50:17.06\00:50:20.06
SEVEN DAYS A WEEK DOES THAT MEAN
THAT THEY'RE RESTING SEVEN DAYS
00:50:20.06\00:50:22.26
A WEEK? THEY'RE NOT HOLY,
THEY'RE LAZY - IF THEY'RE NOT
00:50:22.26\00:50:25.43
WORKING SIX DAYS A WEEK.
SEE, THERE'S A BIG TWIST.
00:50:25.43\00:50:28.96
AND WHEN PEOPLE SAY, 'YOU
BELIEVE YOU'RE SAVED BY WORKS
00:50:28.96\00:50:32.43
AND I BELIEVE I'M SAVED BY
FAITH.' I'M TELLING PEOPLE TO
00:50:32.43\00:50:34.93
REST AND THEY'RE SAYING TO WORK
ON THE SABBATH - SO NOW THEY'RE
00:50:34.93\00:50:38.43
WORKS ORIENTED.
I'M REST ORIENTED.
00:50:38.43\00:50:41.23
SO THEY TWIST IT
COMPLETELY AROUND.
00:50:41.23\00:50:44.90
EVERYTHING YOU'RE GOING TO
FIND IN THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT,
00:50:44.90\00:50:48.13
JESUS IS SUPPORTING
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:50:48.13\00:50:51.40
HE'S MAGNIFYING IT.
HE'S NOT DOING AWAY WITH IT.
00:50:51.40\00:50:54.33
HE SAID, 'DO NOT THINK' - MATTER
OF FACT, HE GOES ON TO SAY, 'IF
00:50:54.33\00:50:58.33
ANYONE THINKS I'VE COME
TO DESTROY THE LAW AND THE
00:50:58.33\00:51:01.00
PROPHETS, WHOEVER WILL DO THIS
AND TEACH IT WILL BE GREAT IN
00:51:01.00\00:51:06.63
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN BUT
WHOEVER WILL BREAK IT WILL BE
00:51:06.63\00:51:09.93
SPOKEN OF AS THE LEAST
IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
00:51:09.93\00:51:12.46
THAT DOESN'T MEAN THEY'RE IN THE
KINGDOM, IT MEANS THOSE IN THE
00:51:12.46\00:51:15.80
KINGDOM POINT TO THOSE PEOPLE
AND SPEAK OF THEM AS THE LOWEST.
00:51:15.80\00:51:20.10
HE SAID, 'WHOEVER WILL BREAK MY
COMMANDMENTS AND TEACH OTHERS TO
00:51:20.10\00:51:23.50
DO SO WILL BE THE LOWEST IN THE
KINGDOM.' THAT MEANS THE PEOPLE
00:51:23.50\00:51:26.23
IN THE KINGDOM CONSIDER
THAT PERSON THE LOWEST PERSON.
00:51:26.23\00:51:29.93
THEY'RE NOT SAVED.
I'VE HEARD SOME PEOPLE SAY,
00:51:29.93\00:51:31.83
'WELL, YEAH, IF YOU BREAK IT AND
TEACH OTHERS TO BREAK IT, YOU'LL
00:51:31.83\00:51:34.06
JUST HAVE A LOW
POSITION IN THE KINGDOM.'
00:51:34.06\00:51:35.56
NO, YOU'RE NOT IN THE KINGDOM.
THOSE IN THE KINGDOM ARE
00:51:35.56\00:51:37.83
SPEAKING OF YOU AS
THE LOWEST KIND OF PERSON.
00:51:37.83\00:51:41.06
THOSE WHO DO IT AND TEACH
IT WILL BE SPOKEN OF AS GREAT.
00:51:41.06\00:51:45.23
SO, YES, THE DEVIL WILL HAVE
EVEN CHRISTIANS ACCUSE YOU OF
00:51:45.23\00:51:49.00
BEING A LEGALIST
IF YOU TEACH THE LAW,
00:51:49.00\00:51:51.56
BUT JESUS TAUGHT THE LAW.
BUT WE NEED TO TEACH THE SPIRIT
00:51:51.56\00:51:54.26
AND THE LETTER OF THE
LAW - THE WHOLE THING.
00:51:54.26\00:51:56.63
THAT'S WHAT CHRIST DID, AMEN?
NOW DON'T TEACH JUST THE LETTER
00:51:56.63\00:51:59.46
OF THE LAW OR YOU
DO BECOME A LEGALIST.
00:51:59.46\00:52:01.60

>>AMAZING FACTS CHANGED LIVES.
>>I FELT LIKE I WAS RECEIVING
00:53:02.13\00:53:12.30
SOME ANGEL MESSAGES
IN AROUND MY SON'S DEATH.
00:53:12.30\00:53:16.13
MY SON JESSIE WAS JUST 31 YEARS
OLD SO I DIDN'T EXPECT HIM TO
00:53:16.13\00:53:19.43
DIE BEFORE I DID. BUT
IN NOVEMBER OF 2009 WE
00:53:19.43\00:53:26.43
DECIDED TO HAVE THANKSGIVING
WITH HIM AND - WHEN WE NORMALLY
00:53:26.43\00:53:30.00
GO TO A FAMILY TO
HAVE THANKSGIVING.
00:53:30.00\00:53:32.00
I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS GOING TO
BE THE VERY LAST TIME THAT I WAS
00:53:32.00\00:53:34.40
SEEING MY SON ALIVE. IN
APRIL OF 2010 I WAS URGED TO
00:53:34.40\00:53:39.86
CALL HIM ON THE
DAY THAT HE DIED.
00:53:39.86\00:53:41.90
I DIDN'T MAKE THAT
CALL. I WAS TOO BUSY.
00:53:41.90\00:53:45.33
I THOUGHT I HAD 'TIL THE
NEXT MORNING TO CALL HIM.
00:53:45.33\00:53:48.00
AND IT TURNS OUT THAT I DIDN'T.
00:53:48.00\00:53:51.50
AND THEN MY HUSBAND'S FATHER WAS
PASSING AWAY IN A NURSING HOME
00:53:51.50\00:53:54.70
SLOWLY - NOT EATING, TAKING HIS
MEDICINE - JUST WASTING AWAY.
00:53:54.70\00:54:01.30
>>WE WERE LOOKING AT AMAZING
FACTS BIBLE STUDY GUIDES AND WE
00:54:01.30\00:54:08.86
HAD SENT OUT CARDS AND WE HAD
THIS CARD, BUT WHEN I KNOCKED ON
00:54:08.86\00:54:15.43
SUE AND KIRK'S DOOR BY MISTAKE
- >>AND WE WERE CONVINCED THAT
00:54:15.43\00:54:21.03
THIS WAS THE RIGHT HOUSE
AND IT OBVIOUSLY TURNED OUT,
00:54:21.03\00:54:24.36
TO OUR SURPRISE,
TO BE THE WRONG HOUSE.
00:54:24.36\00:54:26.96
>>WHEN THEY CAME BY WE
WEREN'T EXPECTING THEM.
00:54:26.96\00:54:30.63
HE TOLD ME ABOUT THESE PAMPHLETS
- THESE AMAZING FACTS THAT
00:54:30.63\00:54:37.53
EXPLAIN THEIR DOCTRINE.
00:54:37.53\00:54:40.50
>>WELL, TO OUR SURPRISE,
WHEN THEY ANSWERED THE DOOR, THE
00:54:40.50\00:54:45.06
GENTLEMAN, WHEN HE SAW WHAT WE
WERE DOING, HE SAID, 'WELL, WE
00:54:45.06\00:54:48.86
WOULD LIKE TO
TAKE THESE STUDIES.'
00:54:48.86\00:54:51.00
>>ANYTHING ABOUT THE LORD THAT
INCREASES MY FAITH IS ALWAYS
00:54:51.00\00:54:57.86
OPEN.' >>THESE
LESSONS CAME AT A TIME
00:54:57.86\00:55:00.90
WHEN WE DIDN'T
KNOW WE WERE SEARCHING.
00:55:00.90\00:55:03.06
WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WE NEEDED.
WE WERE JUST HURTING FROM THE
00:55:03.06\00:55:06.40
GRIEF THAT WE'D BEEN THROUGH.
WHEN I SAW THE STUDIES BY
00:55:06.40\00:55:10.63
AMAZING FACTS, ABOUT THE
SABBATH, IT STRUCK A CHORD WITH
00:55:10.63\00:55:14.50
ME BECAUSE I
REMEMBERED WHEN I HAD
00:55:14.50\00:55:17.76
TALKED TO MY MOTHER AS A CHILD
ABOUT THE SABBATH - ABOUT SEEING
00:55:17.76\00:55:22.76
THAT TRUTH WHEN I WAS ONLY EIGHT
YEARS OLD AND ASKING HER WHY WE
00:55:22.76\00:55:27.06
DIDN'T HONOR THE SABBATH DAY AND
SHE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS JUST NOT
00:55:27.06\00:55:32.80
THE WAY THAT THEY DID THINGS.
WELL THAT WASN'T A GOOD ENOUGH
00:55:32.80\00:55:36.96
EXPRESSION - A
GOOD ENOUGH EXPLANATION.
00:55:36.96\00:55:39.43
THERE WAS NO SCRIPTURAL
BASIS FOR WHAT SHE TOLD ME.
00:55:39.43\00:55:42.83
SHE JUST SAID TO FORGET IT.
AND I'D WENT THROUGH ALL OF THE
00:55:42.83\00:55:45.53
STUDIES THAT WE HAD
GOTTEN AND I WANTED MORE.
00:55:45.53\00:55:48.53
SO I DECIDED THAT - WELL, IF
THEY PUT OUT THESE AMAZING FACTS
00:55:48.53\00:55:53.43
BIBLE STUDIES, THERE MUST
BE SOMETHING ONLINE ABOUT THEM.
00:55:53.43\00:55:57.80
SO I DECIDED TO CHECK IT
OUT. I WENT ON THE COMPUTER TO
00:55:57.80\00:56:01.80
AMAZING FACTS AND IT SAID IT
RIGHT DOWN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE
00:56:01.80\00:56:03.76
BIBLE STUDIES:
'AMAZINGFACTS.ORG'.
00:56:03.76\00:56:06.43
I CHECKED IT OUT AND THERE
WAS FREE BIBLE STUDIES THERE.
00:56:06.43\00:56:08.66
IT'S THE VERY SAME ONES
THAT WE HAD BEEN STUDYING.
00:56:08.66\00:56:12.03
AFTER FINDING THE AMAZING FACTS
BIBLE STUDIES ONLINE AND I DID
00:56:12.03\00:56:15.76
THEM ALL - I THINK THERE WERE
27 OR 28 BIBLE STUDIES - I FELT
00:56:15.76\00:56:20.46
LIKE I WAS FINALLY SEEING
THE TRUTH AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.
00:56:20.46\00:56:24.30
WE ORDERED THE AMAZING FACTS
DVDS LIKE THE 'COSMIC CONFLICT'
00:56:24.30\00:56:30.70
AND THE 'FINAL EVENTS' -
'PROPHECY FOUNDATIONS' AND
00:56:30.70\00:56:35.50
DIFFERENT MATERIALS LIKE THAT.
WENT THROUGH THEM - ENJOYED ALL
00:56:35.50\00:56:39.26
OF THEM AND THEY
IMPACTED OUR LIVES EVEN MORE.
00:56:39.26\00:56:44.56
>>WELL I WORKED
AT THE POST OFFICE.
00:56:44.56\00:56:45.86
I KNEW KIRK AND SUE FOR A VERY
LONG TIME AND I WASN'T ALLOWED
00:56:45.86\00:56:51.06
TO TALK TO ANYONE ABOUT
THE BIBLE AND BIBLE STUDIES AND
00:56:51.06\00:56:55.00
THINGS LIKE THAT
BECAUSE THEY TOLD US NOT TO.
00:56:55.00\00:56:57.66
BUT ANYWAY, WHEN SUE CAME IN
AND TALKED ABOUT IT, SHE TALKED
00:56:57.66\00:57:00.46
ABOUT THE SABBATH AND I TOLD
HER, I SAID, 'WELL SUE, I GO TO
00:57:00.46\00:57:03.40
CHURCH ON SATURDAY.'
>>SO I INVITED MYSELF.
00:57:03.40\00:57:07.13
SHE WAS EXCITED, OF COURSE,
TO HAVE ME GO - MY HUSBAND AND I
00:57:07.13\00:57:09.56
BOTH STARTED GOING THAT VERY
NEXT SABBATH AND IT WASN'T BUT
00:57:09.56\00:57:14.23
JUST FOUR MONTHS AFTER THAT THAT
WE WERE BAPTIZED IN THE CHURCH.
00:57:14.23\00:57:18.50
AND IT FELT LIKE THE
MOST GLORIOUS EXPERIENCE
00:57:18.50\00:57:21.50
I COULD HAVE EVER HAD.
00:57:21.50\00:57:24.53
>>THE THING THAT TOUCHES MY
HEART THE MOST IS IRWIN AND I
00:57:24.53\00:57:27.83
HAD BEEN DOING THIS FOR OH,
THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF TO TWO
00:57:27.83\00:57:31.06
YEARS AND SUE IS NOT THE
ONLY ONE WHO HAS RESPONDED TO
00:57:31.06\00:57:35.20
AMAZING FACTS. WE'VE
HAD SEVERAL OTHERS THAT
00:57:35.20\00:57:37.43
HAVE RESPONDED
AND BEEN BAPTIZED.
00:57:37.43\00:57:40.36
SO THIS IS WHAT REALLY MAKES
IT EXCITING. THERE'S TIMES IT'S
00:57:40.36\00:57:44.63
DISCOURAGING BUT THE BOTTOM LINE
IS: EVERY TIME YOU SEE SOMEBODY
00:57:44.63\00:57:48.23
IN THE WATER BEING
BAPTIZED, IT'S A THRILL.
00:57:48.23\00:57:51.33
>>I KNOW THAT JESUS LOVES ME.
AFTER ALL OF THE TRAGEDY THAT
00:57:51.33\00:57:54.83
I'VE BEEN THROUGH, HE MADE
SURE THAT THE TWO MEN CAME AND
00:57:54.83\00:57:59.10
BROUGHT THE AMAZING FACTS BIBLE
STUDIES TO ME AND MY HUSBAND.
00:57:59.10\00:58:03.73
MY LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.
IT IS FOREVER CHANGED AND I AM
00:58:03.73\00:58:08.70
FOREVER PART OF
THE FAMILY OF GOD.
